In 2001, high school student Teddy Walker drops out when he cannot concentrate during a crucial test.
Years later, in 2018, Teddy sells barbecue grills while dating a wealthy woman named Lisa; a careful financial strategy makes him appear wealthier than he actually is. However, his life falls apart just as he learns that he is going to inherit control of the store when the current manager retires. Proposing to Lisa in the shop, Teddy accidentally triggers an explosion when a champagne cork pops open a gas tank. The manager takes the insurance from the explosion and promptly moves to Florida.
Now jobless, Teddy learns from his best friend Marvin that he could theoretically get a job at his financial investment firm, but only if he has a GED. Teddy goes to his old high school, intending to charm the new principal into giving him the relevant qualification, only to discover the principal is Stewart, whom Teddy bullied when he was at school. Fortunately, Teddy can enroll in night school that semester, taught by the unorthodox Carrie, but finds himself still frustrated by his old concentration issues. At the same time, he tells Lisa he already has the job working for Marvin, while secretly working at a local fast food restaurant to give himself some income.
As the class struggles to cope, Teddy convinces them to help steal the test answers. When Carrie realizes what happened, he is expelled after taking the blame. He returns to make a genuine appeal to Carrie that he wants to do better. He is allowed back if he gets tested for learning disabilities. They determine he suffers from dyslexia, dyscalculia, and various processing issues. She is able to devise new systems to help him cope and he soon settles into night school while genuinely befriending his classmates.
As the last class is on prom night, Teddy suggests they attend too. He is confronted by Lisa who Stewart brought to the school that night under the pretense of corporate sponsorship to improve the school. Hurt that Teddy was lying to her, Lisa breaks up with him, prompting Teddy to give up on night school and the GED. However, he is visited by Carrie and Stewart with the latter apologizing to Teddy, realizing he crossed a line. Carrie convinces Teddy to return for the GED. Although he does not pass with his classmates, he continues to persevere and completes it after another four attempts.
At graduation, Teddy makes a speech for the night school students about how they all prove that second chances are possible, witnessed by Lisa. Afterwards, Teddy apologizes to Lisa for lying, re-introducing himself. He asks her out, and she agrees to support him financially while he seeks work.
Before the credits, a party is held after graduation. Stewart interrupts the party, proclaiming it is "his house" before pulling off some epic dance moves to prove it.

Reception[edit]
Night School grossed $77.3 million in the United States and Canada, and $25.8 million in other territories for a total worldwide gross of $103.1 million, against a production budget of $29 million.[5]
In the United States and Canada, Night School was released alongside Smallfoot, Little Women and Hell Fest, and was projected to gross $25–31 million from 3,010 theaters in its opening weekend.[15] The film made $9.5 million on its first day, including $1.35 million from Thursday night previews, on par with Hart's Ride Along 2 ($1.26 million in 2016). It went on to debut to $28 million, finishing first domestically (although Smallfoot earned more worldwide) and marking the best opening weekend for a comedy in 2018.[16] It made $12.5 million in its second weekend and $7.8 million in its third, finishing fourth and sixth, respectively.[17][18]
On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 26% based on 143 reviews, with an average rating of 4.3/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "Night School's funny stars and seemingly promising setup add up to a disappointingly scattershot comedy whose laughs are largely held in detention."[19] On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 43 out of 100, based on 30 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[20] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A–" on an A+ to F scale, and PostTrak reported filmgoers gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars.[16]
Variety's Owen Gleiberman wrote the film "wants to be a nasty sitcom but spends too much time playing it safe" and wrote, "Night School has a handful of laughs, but it's a bloated trifle that, at 111 minutes, overstays its welcome."[21] For IndieWire, David Elrich gave the film a "D" grade, stating "Kevin Hart can be funnier than he is in this joyless and interminable comedy, but he no longer seems interested in trying."[22]
Night School was released digitally on December 11, 2018, and on 4K UHD Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray and DVD on January 1, 2019.[23][24]

Günther Oettinger says research should be the only programme spared spending cuts as the EU weighs how to make up for losing the UK's €11B per annum contribution.
Research should be the only EU programme spared spending cuts in the post-2020 budget period, EU Commission budget chief Günther Oettinger said on Tuesday, as Brussels looks for ways to cover the hole blown in its budget by the departure of the UK.
By the middle of next year, the Commission will publish a proposal for the EU's trillion euro budget plans for the next financing period that begins in 2021.
"There is no guarantee that any programme will avoid cuts", the Commissioner for budget and human resources said. "But if I had one option, it would be to avoid cuts to [research].

Q: Rich content front-ends/jQueryUI replacement I've been going around in circles for days on this. I've got a (conceptually) simple website, which is all Javascript/Ajax at the front end, with a minimal amount of hand-written HTML, and lots of C++ on the server. The user basically needs to see a few menus, and fill in a few forms, and they get back pretty tables.
My problem is the actual UI front-end. This is for a sports club, and is not a commercial site, so it doesn't have to be that good. I've been using jQueryUI (there's some jQuery in the JS). I'm using tabs and dialogs, and it's all a bit clunky. I now want to add a couple of horizontal menus, and jQueryUI doesn't do this (there's menubar, on a code branch, but it's unfinished and development stopped 6 months ago). I also want to integrate dokuwiki if possible, which is php. I don't have to support old browsers.
Question: can anyone recommend a lightweight rich content front-end to replace jQueryUI, that will get me going quickly? I can spend a little on something commercial as long as I can quickly prototype without paying anything. A CMS would be Ok - I have some Joomla experience, but I really don't want to write any modules just to get my own JS and a wiki into the site.
Oh - and please suggest something quickly, before the question is closed as pointless and irrelevant... :)

A: There are a lot of examples.
Twitter bootstrap or flat ui

The Undergraduate Research Impact Project and the Digital Archive of Literacy Narratives (DALN) meet at a historical crossroads to open a new DALN collection and begin a shared search for new stories. Read on and learn how you can join us at 4C16, RSA16, and beyond.
Undergraduate education in research universities requires renewed emphasis on a point strongly made by John Dewey almost a century ago: learning is based on discovery guided by mentoring rather than on the transmission of information. Inherent in inquiry-based learning is an element of reciprocity: faculty can learn from students as students are learning from faculty.
In 2008, members of the DALN consortium began building "a publicly available archive of personal literacy narratives" designed to "provide a historical record of the literacy practices and values of contributors, as those practices and values change" (DALN home). It took only five years for the DALN to become "as far as we know, the largest public[l]y-available, online archive of literacy narratives in the world" (Selfe).
Now, to mark the approaching 20th anniversary of the Boyer Commission's report, Jenn Fishman, Jane Greer, and Dominic DelliCarpini are launching the Undergraduate Research (UR) Impact Project: a three-part inquiry into UR in rhetoric and composition/writing studies. Marshaling bibliometrics and focus groups, the UR Impact Project is also partnering with DALN to solicit stories from undergraduate researchers and mentors. This collaboration, which also celebrates the DALN's first decade, will take shape through the archive's new Undergraduate Impact Collection. Open to all who are or have been involved in UR over the years, this collection will help us learn directly from practitioners about UR in our field. It will also help us rethink our ideas and assumptions about who participates in UR, what UR in rhetoric and composition/writing studies looks like, and how UR informs the many kinds of work undergraduate researchers and mentors go on to pursue, not only within the academy but also well beyond it.
DALN volunteers will be collecting stories in person at the Conference on College Composition and Communication in Houston, TX. Find them at the Hilton of the Americas (1600 Lamar, Houston, TX 77010), Hilton Grand Ballroom D-F, Level Four on Thursday (4/7) from 12pm-4:30pm, Friday (4/8) from 10:45am-4:30pm, and Saturday (4/9) from 11am-1:30pm.
DALN volunteers will also be collecting stories in person at the Rhetoric Society of America in Atlanta, GA. Dates and times TBD.
You can also upload your contribution directly to the UR Impact Collection. To get started, register with DALN (http://daln.osu.edu) and then follow the online instructions.
Join us in person and online, and contact any of us involved in the UR Impact Project and DALN if you have comments, questions, or suggestions.

Q: Sending encrypted text in Url I have a very simple (rather stupid) question, I hope someone can clear my mind on this :)
I want to send an email to my site user once he clicks a button. This email will contain a link with the userID of a user in the link URL (as query param of a link).
Once the user clicks this email link, my server side code will parse and decrypt the userID query string key to get the user ID and perform some action on it.
I cannot use base64 encoding as it can be reversed and 'hackers' can get to know the real userID. I have to encrypt the ID but when I am using AES alogrithms for encryption, the encrypted text is not "understandable" by the browser, ie I cannot pass the encrypted userId text as a part of the URL because it contains un-encoded characters like "/" which the browser cannot by pass. One option I can think of is to base64 encode the encrypted text once I send it across via URL. Then I can bease64 decode and decyrpt it.
Is this approach better than using Uri.EscapeDataString() on the encyrpted text?

A: You should continue to base64 encode the AES data, as at that point it is likely binary rather than a string that can be escaped.  You should also check that you are using url safe base64 encoding.

A: Use a one-way hash like SHA1 or MD5, and use JavaScript to send the values as encrypted. Then, if a hacker intercepts the request, they would only have the hashes and not the actual values. They could still send the hashes to login, though; one solution is to include a JavaScript parameter (generated via your server-side language) based on IP (but not possible for a hacker to find the formula for), and use it to salt the username and password hashes.
Then on server-side you would do (in PHP, in this case):
$ipHash = sha1("random" . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "salt_here10381") // place this as a hidden element in the form and use it in the JavaScript to calculate the hash
$userHash = $_POST['userHash'];
$passwordHash = $_POST['passwordHash']
// TODO: Escape $ipHash, $userHash, $passwordHash
$results = mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM `users` WHERE SHA1(CONCAT('" . $ipHash . "', `user`)) ='$userHash' AND SHA1(CONCAT('" . $ipHash . "', `password`)) = " '$passwordHash'");

Then, if a hacker wanted to login with the hash and username they found, they would need the same IP of the user originally logging in whose credentials were intercepted.
Note that this assumes you have passwords stored in your database as plain-text, which you should never do.
For hashing with SHA1, on client-side, take a look at this.
To answer your specific question (I see I got a bit off topic, oops,) it would be acceptable to base64encode the hashes when you send them to the server. If possible, try to send it as POST data and save it in a cookie or session variable.

A: I think of a simple solution you try to generate a random number(make it as a key) and for the encryption use some simple technique of yourself like XOR 'ing the ASCII value of the characters in the user name with the key that you have generated .so the long random key results in a greater result.

A: When creating the email you need to encrypt the user ID, then base64 encode it, then URL encode it. Put this as the userID param in the link.
When decrypting the email you do the same in reverse; get the userID param, URL decode it, base64 decode it then decrypt it.
Remember to use a different intitialisation vector every time you encode a user ID. You will need to put the initialisation vector in the emailed link as a URL parameter too in order to decrypt it.

Trump: Base stronger than ever, despite 2020 rumblings
BEDMINSTER, N.J. | President Donald Trump is insisting his support is stronger than ever, despite a report that some Republicans are weighing a 2020 presidential run without him.
In a flurry of early morning tweets Monday, Trump says "the Trump base far bigger & stronger than ever before (despite some phony Fake News polling)." He specifically criticized the "failing @nytimes." The New York Times detailed efforts by some Republicans looking ahead to 2020, including Vice President Mike Pence. Pence called the report false.
Trump also tweets that he is "working hard" from his private golf club in central New Jersey, while the White House heating and cooling system is repaired, and plans to head to New York next week for "more meetings." He also reiterated personal attacks on Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal.
The president also plans to to spend some time in New York City while he takes a break from Washington.
White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said Monday that Trump will return to his hometown for part of the first half of next week. She did not provide more details.
Trump tweeted Monday that he would be heading to New York for meetings. He has not spent a night at his residence in Trump Tower since the inauguration.
The White House says Trump will be meeting with Cabinet secretaries and top aides on issues like health care and taxes while in New Jersey.

Q: How do you get Math.max to give you the variables name i've written
var i = 0;
var x = 0;
var y = 0;
var z = 0;

each variable is incremented by the user, however when i write
function blue() {
    console.log(Math.max(i, x, y, z))
}

then I simply get back the highest number, not the name of the highest variable. The goal for this code eventually is to tell the user what number they are, and link them to the corresponding number's information. I've tried converting to an array however I'm a beginner with javascript and unsure where to go from here, would greatly appreciate any advice :)
repository for code in question is: https://github.com/LukeMcHenry311/showingproblem
inside of quiz folder
test.html
test.js

A:

var i = 1;
var x = 3;
var y = 2;
var z = 0;

console.log(Object.entries({i,x,y,z}).sort(([, a], [, b]) => b - a)[0]);

A: You can use Array.prototype.reduce() with Object.entries():

var i = 1;
var x = 3;
var y = 2;
var z = 0;
max = Object.entries({ i, x, y, z }).reduce(function(carry, [key, value]) {
  if (value > carry.value) {
    carry.key = key
    carry.value = value
  }
  return carry
}, { 'key': null, 'value': null });
console.log(max); // { key: 'x', value: 3 }

It is nicknamed "the Egret Island" because it has been a habitat of white egrets since ancient times. Xiamen also has long enjoyed the reputation as a charming "Garden on the Sea". Xiamen is an international coastal city with its own characteristics, standing out with a uniquely shaped bay, and is rich in spectacular subtropical scenery featuring mountains and rivers. Xiamen is full of rich nature in which one can appreciate ancient buildings and enjoy Minnan (southern Fujianese) culture, making the city one of the most popular tourist city destinations in China.
Xiamen has seen its GDP and total fiscal revenue grow at an average annual rate of 15.6% and 19.4% perce since it became one of the first four special economic zones to be established on the Chinese mainland in 1980.
In 2018, the city's GDP was 479.14 billion yuan ($71.29 billion), an increase of 7.7%; total fiscal revenue and local fiscal revenue reached 128.33 billion yuan and 75.45 billion yuan, up 8.1% and 8.3%; fixed-asset investment jumped by 10.1%; total retail sales of consumer goods grew by 6.6% to 154.24 billion yuan; per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents was 54,401 yuan and 22,410 yuan, increasing by 8.8% and 9.5%.
In recent years, Xiamen has become one of China's top 10 innovative cities by taking forward trials of the largest number of Chinese major reforms with the strongest, most centralized and most effective measures.
Over the past three years since the establishment of the Xiamen Free Trade Zone, great advancements have been made in creating a world-class business environment. For example, Xiamen pioneered 52 reform measures in the country. The city experienced a rise through the ranks of international business environments from 61st in 2014 to the current 38th in a "global economy" list.
Xiamen was recognized as a National Advanced City for Entrepreneurship in 2012 and has proved it deserves that title. It has initiated a modern industrial system led by high-end manufacturing and modern service industries and featuring strategic emerging industries such as biomedicine and integrated circuits. There are several 100-billion-yuan industrial clusters that develop flat-panel displays, computers and communications, shipping logistics, software and information, and tourism MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions, and exhibitions). The world's largest touch screen component research and development (R&D) and production base and the world's largest high-end LED bulb manufacturing and export base are located in Xiamen. It is also home to the Asia Pacific's largest aviation maintenance base.
Xiamen is a bridge for the peaceful development of cross-Strait relations. More than 70% of Taiwanese residents have their ancestral homeland in the Minnan region with Xiamen at the geographic center. Three of the country's six State-level Taiwan investment zones found a home in Xiamen, and the actual use of Taiwan capital has exceeded $10 billion.
In 2018, the number of passengers traveling across the Taiwan Strait through Xiamen Port numbered 2.26 million, accounting for nearly one-quarter of the total number of passengers crossing the Strait. The Xiamen-Kinmen ship route opened in 2001 under the "mini-three-links" policy (including direct postal, transport and trade links between the Chinese mainland and Taiwan) and has transported 17.78 million passengers, making it a "golden channel" for cross-Strait exchanges. The number of batches of Taiwan food imported through Xiamen Port accounted for more than half of the total batches of imported Taiwan food to the mainland, and Taiwan fruit imports through Xiamen Port accounted for 80% of the total amount to the mainland. Major Taiwan-related activities such as the Straits Forum and the Cross-Strait (Xiamen) Cultural Industries Fair have grown in influence, playing an increasingly important role in promoting peaceful development of cross-Strait relations.
Xiamen was the host city of the ninth BRICS Summit held on Sept 4, 2017.

Home Software Cortana ready to hit your iPhone next
Cortana ready to hit your iPhone next
Bindu Nair
After having been released for Android devices, the Cortana digital assistant app from Microsoft is all set to make its way into iOS devices soon. Its makers have announced a beta for the service, which will be released in the coming weeks.
Of course, just like the Android version of the app, the iOS variant too will feature some restrictions on major features. These include the 'Hey Cortana' hotword detection to wake her up. Besides, the first public release will only be available in the US and China.
As for the features you'll indeed be able to take advantage of, they include sending emails, scheduling events, using Bing search and more. The iOS app will also allow you to set alarms and reminders with your voice, moreover.
On Apple's platform, Cortana has Siri to compete with. The Cupertino giant's very own digital assistant offers similar functionality, and even responds to the 'Hey Siri' voice command by waking up from sleep mode.
But Microsoft is hoping to distinguish Cortana from Siri by highlighting its learning capabilities. As and when you use the service, it learns certain things about you and tailors further results in accordance to that data. This way, it keeps getting better at its work every day.
Cortana was introduced last year, and has been integrated into all major Microsoft platforms now, except for the Xbox One. However, the home console is all set to receive it via an update that's supposed to go live later this month.
Also Read: Cortana vs. Siri: Guess who won in Microsoft's new ad?
The beta will only be made available for a limited number of iOS users at first, but will later be released for more people. Those interested in trying it out can take this short survey, and wait to be sent the link to download it.

Kota Okuda will dress the anti-capitalist revolution.
Not even the Spring 2019 runways are immune from the looming effects, 10 years on, of the 2008 financial crisis.
In August of 2018, Japanese designer Kota Okuda sent models parading down the Parsons MFA show runway in gigantic money clips and wallets, wearing skirts made of good, old-fashioned American currency.
The Japanese designer's sly representation of value using tulle, leather, plastic, paper, and double-stick tape garnered rave reviews from none other than Cash Money Records doyenne Nicki Minaj, who contacted Okuda via DM to compliment the collection.
"I hope Nicki will wear my designs," Okuda reflected, adding that another dream influencer he longs to dress is Cardi B. Could possession of Okuda's plastic dollar bill bikini top, or his ingenious belly chain made of pennies, set off the next Nicki vs. Cardi skirmish?
As far as inspiration goes, Okuda cites Karl Marx's critique of "commodity fetishism" in Das Kapital, Volume 1. Equally influential on Okuda's 2018 collection are Robert Goossens, a French jeweler known as "Mr. Bijou" who designed for houses including Chanel, Balenciaga and Dior, and French poet Isidore Ducasse.
"Have you heard of the film Who Are You, Polly Magoo?" Okuda asks me, and I briefly contemplate lying (always my first choice) before admitting that I haven't. Okuda generously briefs me on the 1966 French send-up of the fashion industry directed by William Klein, which features a fictional designer who sends models down the runway dressed in aluminum.
It's not hard to draw a parallel between Klein's aluminum-forward designer and Okuda's financially-inclined looks, which look almost sculptural in nature and read—on the runway—like a simultaneous celebration of, and lamentation for, capitalism. Vive la révolution, if it looks like this!


This week, suppliers Lumentum and Qorvo both cut their near-term forecasts, citing an unnamed customer believed to be Apple.
Calling the recent weakness in Apple (AAPL) shares following Lumentum's (LITE) and Qorvo's (QRVO) negative pre-announcements this week a "buying opportunity," Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty told investors that she is still bullish on the iPhone maker's Services growth. This comes a day after Guggenheim analyst Robert Cihra cut his rating for Apple to Neutral, saying he foresees iPhone units will decline 5% year-over-year in 2019.
APPLE SHARES 'OVERREACT' TO SUPPLY CHAIN REVISIONS: In a research note to investors, Morgan Stanley's Huberty called the 8.5% decline in Apple shares following Lumentum's and Qorvo's negative pre-announcements this week a buying opportunity, noting that she is still bullish on the iPhone maker's Services growth. As the smartphone market matures, Services takes the "growth baton" from Devices, which ultimately results in more stable growth and higher margins at Apple, she contended. The analyst also noted that normalized Services revenue growth accelerated to 26% year over year in FY18 despite iPhone units down 6% in the two years leading up to FY18, which suggests unit sales and installed base growth and/or user engagement are not as tied as investors may think. While Huberty believes investors should focus on Services rather than iPhone units, she also thinks Apple's December quarter guidance incorporates the revisions made by Lumentum and Qorvo. Unit revisions are typically more severe for the supply chain than Apple given inventory fluctuations and the company's steps to ensure adequate supply early in a product launch, she added. The analyst reiterated an Overweight rating and $253 price target on Apple shares.
GUGGENHEIM MOVING TO SIDELINES ON APPLE: Yesterday, Guggenheim's Cihra downgraded Apple to Neutral from Buy and removed his prior $245 price target on the shares. The analyst pointed out that the average selling price of the iPhone has increased a "dramatic" $220, or 40%, over the past 10 years, reflecting its "growing value to both consumer and business markets." However, nearly half of that increase came in fiscal 2018 alone, he highlighted, adding that this makes a "period of digestion now likely." Cihra believes Apple's growth via average selling price is now "widely known," and thinks the iPhone's nearly 60% contribution to revenue and profits is "looking like a headwind again." Following early supply chain cuts, exemplified by Corning's (GLW) "softer" fourth quarter gorilla glass guidance back in October and this week's warnings from 3D sensing laser supplier Lumentum and LCD supplier Japan Display, the analyst now estimates iPhone units will decline 5% year-over-year in fiscal 2019.
SUPPLY CHAIN UNDER PRESSURE: Earlier this week, shares of supplier Lumentum were under pressure after the company cut its outlook. While Lumentum did not call out Apple by name, its mention of a request from one of its "largest Industrial and Consumer customers for laser diodes for 3D sensing" to "materially reduce shipments" is widely believed to be referring to the iPhone maker. On Tuesday, a supplier of components for smartphones also cut its near-term forecast, citing an unnamed customer believed to be Apple. Qorvo lowered its revenue and earnings forecasts for the third quarter of fiscal 2019 due to recent demand changes for "flagship smartphones." Meanwhile, another supplier of Apple, AMS AG, lowered its fourth quarter revenue estimates to $480M-$520M from $570M-$620M, citing recent demand changes from a major consumer customer.
PRICE ACTION: In morning trading, shares of Apple have gained over 1% to $188.75.

Home Procurement News Shipping industry shifts toward natural gas for carbon and cost reductions
Shipping industry shifts toward natural gas for carbon and cost reductions
The Strategic Sourceror on Thursday, December 10, 2015 Procurement News,
Cargo ships are under pressure to meet the supply and demand of a rapidly expanding economy. As with any business venture, managing operating costs and optimizing supply chain operations are critical to long-term sustainability.
In a recently published report, the European Parliament said that, by 2050, the shipping industry alone could be responsible for one-sixth of all carbon dioxide emissions.
Shipping supply chains face economic and environmental issues
The energy-efficiency of container ships is not just important for reducing carbon footprints. By saving on fuel, merchant ships can conserve money, The New York Times' Henry Fountain revealed, since half of maritime operating costs is allotted to powering the ship.
In the article, the science writer highlighted various solutions that could make ships more sustainable.
One way, he noted, is "slow steaming." Decreasing the speed at which cargo ships travel can lower both the amount of fuel burned and how much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, sometimes by as much as half.
Unfortunately, the delay of supply chain operations is already a growing concern for merchant ships. Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal reported that, as of July 1, 2016, shippers will be required to provide container weight verifications on all packed containers, a regulation some argue will slow delivery and increase transportation costs.
Another problem with this solution which some environmentalists pointed out to Fountain is that, even if carbon emissions per ship were reduced, it won't help in the long run if there are more cargo ships in use, which will likely be a result as the market expands.
A third way to improve the energy efficiency of marine fuel is to turn toward renewable sources of energy such as liquefied natural gas, or LNG.
This year, shipping company Tote launched the first two Marlin Class container ships in the world to be powered by LNG, Isla Bella and Perla del Caribe, initiating a shift in the industry proposing a new standard of safety.
According to the company's announcement, implementing the use of natural gas in the Puerto Rico trade industry has allowed it to reduce its emission of carbon dioxide by 72 percent, as well as particulate matter by 60 percent.
"We came to a decision that rather than putting Band-Aids on things, we should look for ways to address core issues of maritime emissions," Tote Executive Vice President Peter Keller told Fountain.
Using natural gas to fuel container ships
However, these ships implemented this solution, in large part, to reduce the emissions of other pollutants, such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, Fountain revealed. And while LNG can reduce carbon emissions by 15 to 20 percent in comparison to other types of power, it isn't without its downsides.
Though it may be overall better for the environment, liquefied natural gas is still a fossil fuel that contains large amounts of methane, a greenhouse gas, reported the source. Furthermore, using it to power ships requires burning at least some amount of diesel oil, and the LNG tanks also tend to be more expensive than traditional counterparts, especially since special equipment is need to accommodate the negative temperatures of the liquefied gas.
Still, Keller told Fountain that Tote plans to expand its use of LNG and will eventually power cargo vessels transported between Washington and Alaska with it.
And Tote isn't the only company focusing on the natural resource.
This week, the Associated Press reported two new LNG facilitates have submitted an application the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for approval to build.
If permitted, Venture Global LNG, a firm based in Washington D.C., and Louisiana LNG Energy LLC, based in Houston, will join 10 natural gas projects in Louisiana currently in development.

This Cruise Ship Accident Article concerning Trip and Fall was authored by William Turley. This Cruise Ship Slip and Fall Accident Article was approved by Rhode Island Personal Injury Attorney, David Slepkow 401-437-1100.
Cruise ships are supposed to be fun and exciting vacations. However, sometimes passengers are seriously injured on cruise ships. Seriously injured cruise ship passengers and their families need to understand maritime law. In order to illustrate these points here is a cruise ship accident case study by a cruise ship accident attorney. The discussion includes a maritime law analysis.
A Cruise ship has a raised metal partition track that runs right down the middle of the entire length of the main ballroom on the vessel. A 61 year old widowed grand mother goes on a cruise with some girl friends. While walking off the dance floor she trips and falls on the raised metal partition. She shatters her hip and is forced to have artificial hip surgery. Her medical bills are in excess of $60,000 and she will probably need another hip replacement in the future.
(4) the breach of the duty proximately caused the passenger's damages.
The owner of a vessel owes a duty of reasonable care to all passengers. A shipowner owes the duty of exercising reasonable care toward those lawfully aboard the vessel who are not members of the crew. What constitutes reasonable care depends on the circumstances of each individual case. When the circumstances of the case are not unique to maritime travel, a shipowner owes passengers a duty of ordinary reasonable care.
The cruise ship contended the passenger was at fault for not lifting her foot high enough when she stepped. The ship contended the condition was open and obvious. The passenger walked across the partition some 20 previous times, including the few evenings before.
Under maritime law, a passenger's contributory negligence does not bar recovery. Thus, even if is was determined she was partially at fault for not raising her foot up high enough, the jury could still award damages. The damages would be reduced proportionally to her share of fault.
The passenger contended that it was foreseeable passengers would trip and fall on the partition. This was especially true on a darkened dance floor. After being ordered by the court, the cruise ship produced documentation of 11 prior reported falls on the metal partition.
The passenger's evidence showed trips-and-falls are the second-leading cause of accidental death and injury in the United States today, after automobile accidents. Given the prevalence of death and injury from trips-and-falls, any safety and risk-management program as it applied to the cruise ship would have to address the foreseeable hazards associated with falls, particularly given the additional hazards unique to a marine environment and the anticipated elderly age of many of the patrons.
The raised metal partition's design fails to address these hazards. Thus, the conclusion that the cruise ship had installed a hazard that would foreseeably cause passengers to trip and fall, thereby breaching the standard of reasonable care it owed to the passenger.
The case was settled out of court for a substantial confidential sum. The settlement was made less than a year after retaining counsel.
The foregoing is a Cruise Ship Passenger case study. It is not legal advice. Any resemblance to actual events, persons and/or vessels is purely coincidental. I am simplistic in order to achieve clarity. Each Cruise Ship Passenger accident case is different and has separate challenges, difficulties and/or nuances. There is no guarantee that your Cruise Line Passenger accident case will have a similar result as discussed in this Passenger injury case study.

"It was a sunny afternoon. As everyone knows how difficult does it get sometimes to convince an auto driver in Delhi to go by meter, I was in a similar state of mind when I approached this auto driver. As soon as I was about to pick up the battle of arguing with him to go by meter, he turned around by himself and switched it on.
A voice came from the front seat, Sure mam. Where do you want to go?
At first, I was a bit taken aback. Then I couldn't resist praising him for being able to speak the language so fluently. He thanked me and said that he had recently started driving this auto. Before that, he worked in the hotel industry, which was probably where he learned to speak English with high fluency.
He was a fairly handsome looking man, wearing a sweatshirt paired along with black corduroy pants. He was tall and partly bald and to say the least, quite well mannered.
He caught my attention and I started probing him about his background. Wow, it must be a very different experience for you to drive an auto all of a sudden?
I spent a good 18 years in the hotel industry and had to finally put a resignation.
How come? Why would you do that?
I wanted to take care of my two year old son at home. Driving an auto is more of an autonomous job. I am my own boss. I can choose when I want to drive. It gives me a lot of time which I can then spend with my son.
Oh so where is your son now?
He is at the crèche. I am going to drive till 5:00 pm and then go pick up my wife from work and then we will go to pick our son. My wife works at the Lalit Hotel. That is where we first met. It was all very rosy in the beginning. It was a love marriage. She hails from South India and I am a Punjabi.
He seemed to smile from what I could see of him in the rear view mirror. Then, he became quiet for a while.
Money is a very important thing, mam. We did not save a lot of money in our initial days after marriage and I regret it today. So, me and my wife decided to figure out a plan wherein both of us can start to work, earn and save but still be able to spend quality time with our son. Now that he is another member in the family. We cannot leave him alone with the aaya, you know.
Hmmm… wow, I said after gaining some insight about him.
You know mam, leaving our son to the aaya was really not the best idea. We hated it from the beginning but we did not know any other way. Instead of my wife leaving her job to take care of our son at home, we decided otherwise. I chose to leave my job and take up this work for the time being. It pays me quite well. I can earn 30 to 40 thousand per month comfortably, that too, at my own discretion.
In a hypothetical situation like that, how many men would be willing to do something like that?
How many men would be willing to leave their job to take up a profession, which will not boost their egos?
How many men would be willing to earn a little bit less in comparison to their wives?
How many men would say, I want to spend quality time with my son even if it requires me to leave my job at the moment?
How many men would demand and fight for a paternity leave system in their office?


Endocrinologist Dr. David Ludwig joined Dr. Daniel Amen, bestselling author and psychiatrist, on his web series Brain Warriors to talk about his research, his book Always Hungry?, and the hidden components of our diet that are making us fat.
Dr. Daniel Amen: In the book you give lots of stories of success, of people who've not only lost weight, but also decreased their anxiety, improved their moods, improved their cognition. As I often say, "Food is medicine, or it's poison." Your brain is the most energy hungry organ in the body. If you don't feed it right you're not going to think or feel right. What were some of the big "aha's" and practical things that people can take away, the things you tell your own patients?
Dr. David Ludwig: Let's start right where you targeted the brain. The brain is a very hungry organ. In the resting state when we're not moving around, it uses about one in three of all of the calories that we burn. A temporary interruption in the energy supply to the brain, just a second, would lead to loss of consciousness, coma, seizure, and death, if that persists. For that reason, the brain has developed extraordinary systems to protect its fuel supply. These are primordial systems, and they are redundant, and they are very powerful. They're more powerful than our conscious mind. By understanding this, you can actually get the whole picture of what the obesity epidemic is about, and why people gain weight.
What's happening is that overeating doesn't make you fat, not over the long term. The process of getting fat makes you overeat. Yes, you could force feed yourself — people have done clinical trials where volunteers are force fed 1,000 extra calories a day, and they're going to gain weight temporarily. Then what's going to happen? Their appetite vanishes, their metabolism speeds up in the body's attempt to burn off those calories. Once the study's done, their weight predictably comes right back down to where it started.
If that's the case, why are we gaining weight? I argue and I try to show this step-by-step that something has triggered our fat cells to hoard too many calories. They're supposed to take in a certain amount. Every tissue in the body, the brain, the muscles, the liver, is supposed to take in a certain amount of energy. Something has triggered our fat cells to become unruly, and to no longer cooperate with the rest of the body, no longer share — they've become like spoiled children.
We think of obesity as a state of excess, too many calories and fat cells, but that's not the underlying problem. It's too few calories in the bloodstream to feed the needs of the brain, and the rest of the body. The brain perceives that and does what it's supposed to do, it makes us hungry, and it makes us crave. Those are two different parts of the brain, a hunger center and a craving center. Hunger is not a fleeting feeling. It's a primal, biological signal that's very difficult to ignore, even in the short term, even harder to ignore over the long term, and if you try to your brain has further tricks, it slows down metabolism. This combination of rising hunger and slowing metabolism on a standard diet is a recipe for failure.
If you cut back calories as you're told to in the calorie balance model of obesity, you only make that situation worse. Yes, you can lose weight for a short while, but your body's going to fight back. Over the long term, you aren't going to keep the weight off. That's why all of these low-calorie diets are so poorly successful over the long term.
I argue the main problem is all the processed carbohydrates that have flooded our diet during the low-fat years. Not just the added sugar, but the white bread, white rice, potato products, prepared breakfast cereals. These raise insulin levels, calorie for calorie, more than any other food. That insulin is like Miracle Grow for your fat cells, not the kind of miracle you want to happen in your body.
We've got to treat the source of the problem, and then body weight can start to come down with your body's cooperation, not with your body kicking and screaming.
Daniel: When I was reading your book, I actually wrote in the margin: Starve yourself fat. As you're starving yourself fat, your cortisol is going up, so you feel panicked, while at the same time hating yourself, because you're not in control anymore.
David: We did a one-day study that demonstrates what's going on in the brain, that it is not just a matter of poor willpower, poor discipline. We took overweight and obese young men, and gave them one of two milkshakes on different days. This was done in randomized order, and double-blind — that's hard to do in nutrition. You can't do it over the long term, but you can do it with a single meal study like this, so neither the patients, or the scientist who is running the study on those days, knew which was which.
They got one of two milkshakes, same calories, same protein, and fat, and carbohydrate, but in one case the milkshake had fast-acting highly processed carbohydrate corn syrup, so it's a kind of sugar. The other had less processed, less refined carbohydrates, slow digesting, uncooked corn starch. It's not the standard kind you get, it's a special preparation. We gave them these two milkshakes on different days, same sweetness, nobody could tell them apart.
We saw as expected that after the fast-acting carbohydrate, blood sugar and insulin levels shot up. A couple hours later, everything crashed. Then by four hours their blood sugar was actually lower after the fast-acting carbohydrate. All those calories get put into fat cells, they get locked away, and then the bloodstream runs out of calories. At that moment they reported feeling hungrier, so same calories, different hunger levels.
Then we looked into the brain with something called functional MRI, a technology where you can actually see parts of the brain activating in real time. We saw one area light up like a laser. It was called the nucleus accumbens, which is part of what's called the dopamine striatal pleasure and reward system. It's considered ground zero for the classic addictions of cocaine, heroin abuse, alcoholism, smoking.
It raises a provocative idea, that these highly processed carbohydrates that we've been eating so much during the low-fat years are hijacking these basic pleasure and reward systems, driving something that looks like food addiction. It's one thing if your hunger centers of the brain are activated, and the hunger centers are one area near the hypothalamus, but if the nucleus accumbens jumps in, it's really game over.
Your ability to ignore your hunger and to exert discipline is going to melt, your weight goes up, but what goes down is your metabolic rate.
The "all calories are alike" model ignores all of the these things that we've just discussed, all of these study findings from our group, from others. What it does do is stigmatize people, because if it's all about calories in/calories out, then just eat a little less, move a little more. Anybody should be able to do it, and if you can't there must be something the matter with you. You've either got poor willpower or poor discipline.
Daniel: Let's get practical. What are the things to do and not to do in your experience for people to begin to feel better, think better, look better?
David: The basic concept is to accomplish two things. We want to lower insulin levels, and calm chronic inflammation. When you do those two things, the fat cells, which have been locked shut under the influence of these two metabolic problems, open up. The body floods with calories, and again the brain suddenly says wow, that feels good, I like this energy level. I can turn off hunger, turn off cravings, speed up metabolism.
The fastest way to lower insulin and calm chronic inflammation is with a rich, luscious high fat diet. It's all the foods we were told not to eat during the low fat craze. Nuts and nut butters, full fat dairy, rich sauces and spreads, savory proteins, real dark chocolate.
This approach is really good for your waist. It leads to effortless weight loss without counting calories. It's great for your heart. The PREDIMED Study had 7,500 adults in Spain. It was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2013, one of the world's premier journals. 7,500 adults were put on either a standard low fat diet, or higher fat diets with loads of nuts, or olive oil. In the olive oil group, they got a liter a week, that's like taking a bath in the stuff, that's a lot of olive oil. It's a nightmare from the conventional calorie in/calorie out model. Nuts and olive oil, these are the highest calorie foods we have around.
They had to stop the study early, because heart disease, cardiovascular disease rates dropped so fast in the higher fat groups it would have been unethical to keep the control group eating the low fat diet. This should be the final nail in the coffin for the low fat diet. The brain is full of fat, it loves fat. It's not to say that all fats are alike, and certainly trans-fats are the closest thing to poison in the food supply, they're leaving the food supply. Saturated fats are being reassessed now.
Daniel: They're not all the same.
David: They're not. Chocolate, dark chocolate, the main source of calories is saturated fat, but it looks very good for the heart, it looks very good for the brain.
Anyway, the program is a rich, high fat diet, these rich delicious foods, because fat is really tasty. Every chef knows that. That's why we like to eat it. It turns out we like to do things that are oftentimes really good for us. These rich, high fat foods let you displace the processed carbs without craving them. Once you are able to displace these processed carbohydrates, the craving centers of the brain quiet down.
These first two weeks of the program, this is Phase 1, we call it a boot camp for your fat cells, but not for you. It's designed to very quickly lower insulin, and jump start these metabolic changes. Phase 2 we add back whole kernel grains, and we add back a little touch of sugar, so you can have sweet dessert if you want every once in awhile. Then in Phase 3 you get to mindfully reintroduce some of the more processed carbohydrates, but following your symptoms. We have symptom trackers, hunger cravings, well being, energy level, and the like.
You see your tipping point. Some people can tolerate a fair amount once they've cleaned their metabolic slate. Other people, any amount is going to create a vicious cycle. For them, they're going to have enjoyed the sense of control over their body, over their cravings, so much that the fleeting pleasures of these processed, industrial foods won't stand up.
Extreme diets may play a very important role for certain people, but for most of the population, you don't have to go to that degree of restriction. Our philosophy is if you get the science right, then you get maximum benefit with minimum of deprivation. We don't want to take away anything that isn't absolutely necessary for you to make progress with your health, and your well being, and your body weight, but also this is really more about radiant well being than anything you measure on a scale. It's reestablishing a connection to the body, listening to what the body wants. If we tune in, it will tell us.
Daniel: This should never be about deprivation. It's about abundance of taste. As you were just saying, fat makes things taste awesome. It's also about abundance of energy and memory. What you eat matters so much, and it's so exciting to tell people they don't have to suffer in the process of weight loss.
If you treat the source of the fever, like with aspirin, then you lower the body temperature set point, and guess what? Then you throw off your clothes, you start sweating, and your temperature declines naturally. You don't have to work at it, your body does.
If you treat the underlying drivers of weight gain, you lower the body weight set point. Your hunger decreases, your metabolism speeds up, and your body wants to get rid of those extra calories. You're not going to be suffering.
Daniel: I noticed in the book you're a fan of full fat dairy. Some of my problems with it are 70% of the antibiotics in this country are actually not given to humans, they're given to animals. My sense is we get those as well through the dairy we consume. They're also given hormones, when you think of industrially raised animals.
David: I think you raised a really great, and much broader issue, because this applies to all animal products. Animal products are going to concentrate environmental toxins. Fish accumulate mercury; people who eat a lot of tuna can have dangerously high mercury levels.
In addition, farming practices raise a whole host of concerns for our health, and for our environment. Then many people have ethical concerns about eating animals. Some people want to limit it to industrial animals and say, "It's fine if the animals are free range, and they have a relatively decent life while they're alive. Then they die, and that's part of the cycle of life." Other people say, "You know what? I don't want to contribute to that, and I want to be a vegetarian." It's not my role to take sides. We've provided meal plans that are applicable to the general public's eating style right now. We also have vegetarian, and some vegan options.
My wife did all of the meal plans and recipes. She's a gourmet natural food chef. She, herself, was a vegetarian for many years, and still is very, very close to a vegetarian. It was important to us to have options for everybody.
Some people seem to really not do well on dairy, so don't eat it if you don't do well on it. We want people to pay attention to their bodies. One size doesn't fit all here. If you're going to eat dairy, we strongly recommend full fat. The problem when you go to non-fat dairy, they don't taste good, first of all. They're much less satisfying. Look at the absurdity of the school lunch program, where a kid can't get plain whole milk the way it comes out of a cow, but she can get fat-free milk loaded with sugar, we call it chocolate milk. It's ridiculous, you'll lose twice.
David: The fats in dairy look pretty good for cardiovascular disease. If you take out the fat and you substitute sugar, that's a serious problem. It's representative of what we've done in this country for the last 40 years during this low-fat craze. A lot of cultures eat dairy as part of their tradition. What self-respecting Frenchman finishes dinner without the cheese plate? That's not fat-reduced cheese, and it's delicious, and they eat a little bit of it. It's very filling, it's satisfying. The bottom line is these are personal decisions.
Daniel: In your experience with helping lots and lots of people, what are some of the tricks that people have told you, based on your work, that they found really helpful? Do you have a couple you could share?
David: The first thing is you've got to put biology back on your side. Up till the last 40 years we have done the opposite. We have been missing the biology, and creating a battle between mind and metabolism we're destined to lose. Once you start eating in a way that supports biology, everything else clicks into place on its own.
The main thing is to be eating whole, natural, slow-digesting foods. For most people, that means much more fat than we're eating now. It's like an engine, where you get the carburetor to mix the air and the gasoline just right, and you get this really good burn, very efficient engine productivity. Same with humans, you get that right, and the body will take care of itself. You don't need a lot of fancy tricks.
People do need to make changes in their behavior. It's not going to happen just by thinking of the right foods, you actually have to put the right foods into your body, and that means cleaning out the house, restocking with healthy food. Unfortunately, we live in an environment where the healthy options are oftentimes more expensive. But it's much cheaper over the long term than the chronic disease they prevent. It takes some time; you have to cook.
Daniel: There was a study at the Harvard School of Public Health that said if you eat in a really healthy way it will cost you about $1.50 more a day. It's not terribly expensive, and people aren't thinking about what being sick costs. What does not making good decisions cost me? What does the arthritis I have cost me?
David: The low energy level, the brain fog, the subtle deterioration of quality of life — what does that cost you?

Indian architect Balkrishna Doshi wins prestigious Pritzker Prize
Photo: AFP
Published Thursday, March 08, 2018
Indian architect Balkrishna Doshi, a pioneer of low-cost housing design, won the prestigious Pritzker Prize on Wednesday, considered architecture's Nobel equivalent.
The 90-year-old Doshi - one of the last living architects to have apprenticed with the Franco-Swiss trailblazer Le Corbusier - distinguished his work by committing to sustainable architecture and inexpensive housing, bringing modernist design to an India rooted in traditionalism.
He is the 45th Pritzker laureate and the first from India.
"Balkrishna Doshi has always created an architecture that is serious, never flashy or a follower of trends," said the Pritzker jury, which said Doshi "has continually exhibited the objectives" of architecture's highest honor.
"Balkrishna Doshi constantly demonstrates that all good architecture and urban planning must not only unite purpose and structure but must take into account climate, site, technique, and craft, along with a deep understanding and appreciation of the context in the broadest sense," the jury said.
"Projects must go beyond the functional to connect with the human spirit through poetic and philosophical underpinnings."
Over the course of his career spanning six decades Doshi developed an architectural style that considered human needs as well as sociocultural context, all while infusing his designs with Modernist elements that reflected what he called "contemporary expression for a sustainable holistic habitat."
His accomplishments include everything from working on the Indian Institute of Management to designing the Aranya Low Cost Housing bloc in the city of Indore, completed in 1989 in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.
The intricate labyrinth of houses, courtyards and internal trails today houses some 80,000 low- and middle-class people, with more than 6,500 units ranging from modest one-bedrooms to spacious homes.
"It seems I should take an oath and remember it for my lifetime: to provide the lowest class with the proper dwelling," the architect said in 1954.
"My works are an extension of my life, philosophy and dreams trying to create treasury of the architectural spirit," Doshi said in a statement thanking the Pritzker jury, in which he also cited the influence of Le Corbusier.
Architectural 'symphony'
Exhibiting an aptitude for art and an acute sense of proportion at a young age, Doshi began studying architecture in 1947, the year India gained independence.
Working under Le Corbusier, he returned to his native country in 1954 to oversee two of his Modernist guru's projects in Chandigarh and Ahmedabad. The Indian architect also collaborated with Louis Kahn, another of the 20th century's Modernist giants.
The laureate's son-in-law and partner Rajeev Kathpalia told AFP the family is "honored and thrilled" to receive the Pritzker news, calling Doshi "one of those rare architects who has worked with all spectrums, a wide range from urban planners to slums and beyond."
"He is passionate about everything that is alive. His name is Balkrishna, which means 'child Krishna," Kathpalia said.
"And like a child, he is always curious about everything. It is as if he is growing young as we grow older."
Doshi's many accolades include the Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters and France, which he received in 2011, as well as the 2007 Global Award for Lifetime Achievement for Sustainable Architecture from Paris's Institut Francais d'Architecture. In 2000 he won India's Prime Minister National Award for Excellence in Urban Planning and Design.
The international Pritzker prize, established by Chicago's Pritzker family in 1979, bestows laureates with $100,000 along with a bronze medallion.
Calling the preeminent award "deeply touching and rewarding," Doshi said the recognition reaffirms his belief that "life celebrates when lifestyle and architecture fuse."
"Every object around us, and nature itself - lights, sky, water and storm - everything is in a symphony," said Doshi.
"This symphony is what architecture is all about."

MICH. STATE
James Franklin updates status of Noah Cain, KJ Hamler for game vs Ohio State
Paul Harvey | 2 months ago
Penn State finished the game against Indiana without two of its offensive stars, but head coach James Franklin remains hopeful both can be ready for the road trip to Columbus.
Wide receiver KJ Hamler is an electric playmaker and is the leading receiver this season for the Nittany Lions. He leads the team in catches (46), receiving yards (791), and receiving touchdowns (8). Along with his work with the offense, he is the main return option on special teams.
RELATED: James Franklin discusses Sean Clifford receiving death threats: 'I don't see why it's acceptable'
Hamler left Saturday's game against Indiana with an injury, and, on Tuesday, Franklin said the team is still hopeful he will be back for Ohio State. As of now, the team is still waiting on clearance from the medical staff.
Audrey Snyder with The Athletic shared Franklin's update:
James Franklin said they remain hopeful with KJ Hamler playing on Saturday. He mentions that there are things out of their control in terms of the medical staff making a decision on Hamler.
— Audrey Snyder (@audsnyder4) November 19, 2019
Running back Noah Cain is a part of a very deep position group for Penn State, but there's no denying he is an important member of the backfield. Cain is third on the team in carries (68) and rushing yardage (350) while tied for the team lead in touchdowns (6).
Unfortunately, the freshman has not played since the win over Michigan State. On the bright side, Franklin said Tuesday that Cain could have played this past weekend but felt it didn't make sense.
He remains hopeful that Cain will play this week and believes he will only continue to get closer to 100%:
James Franklin on Noah Cain, adds that they could've played him last week but it didn't make sense. "Every week it goes by that he doesn't play increases the likelihood of him being closer to 100 percent. … We're hopeful."
Saturday's kickoff is set for 12 pm EST on FOX.

Gluteus muscle, any of the large, fleshy muscles of the buttocks, stretching from the back portion of the pelvic girdle (hipbone) down to the greater trochanter, the bony protuberance at the top of the femur (thighbone). These include the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus.
The gluteus maximus is the large, wide, thick muscle at the surface of the buttocks. It originates at the ilium (the crest of the pelvic girdle, or hipbone) and at portions of the sacrum and coccyx, bones at the base of the spine. It stretches across and attaches to the iliotibial tract, a band of fibrous tissue extending from the ilium to the tibia (shinbone), and to the upper portion of the femur (thighbone). Its major action is extension of the thigh, as in rising from a sitting position, running, or climbing. It also rotates the thigh outward.
The gluteus medius is located directly under the gluteus maximus. It originates at the back of the ilium below its crest and stretches downward to the greater trochanter of the femur. The gluteus minimus is situated under the gluteus medius; it also originates at the ilium and attaches to the femur. Both these muscles abduct the thigh; i.e., pull it laterally away from the midline of the body. In addition, their front portions help rotate the thigh inward, while their rear fibres aid in its extension and outward rotation. When one leg is raised off the ground (e.g., in walking or running), the gluteus medius and minimus of the opposite, fixed side act from below and exert a strong pull on the hipbone, even tilting up the unsupported side, which tends to sag when the limb is raised.

Ten things coming up in the Worthing area
He Ain't Heavy
Published: 14:43
Things you won't want to miss
1 Circus. Oddly Moving present a touching new production titled He Ain't Heavy as part of Worthing Theatres' Summer of Circus. The physical theatre show depicting life through the eyes of a younger brother with autism tours to the Pavilion Theatre on Saturday, June 30 at 7pm. Performer Grania Pickard tells the story of growing up with her disabled autistic brother Sean using physical theatre, aerial circus, audience interaction and storytelling. Through puppetry, the audience see how Sean walks, talks and interacts with the world and how his unique take on life has shaped and influenced Grania.
2 Theatre. Following a sell-out performance at Worthing's Ardington Hotel last November, Hurly-burly Theatre Company return to the venue this month with another double bill of short plays by Worthing writer Gill Medway. In Out of Print, featuring Gill Medway and James Summers, we meet children's author Erica Brightman, whose books once entertained thousands of young readers. In Beck and Call, sisters Marge and Alice (Jane Ware and Liz Downes) are facing a crisis. It's hardly their fault that the slipper didn't fit either of them. And now they're left with an ever-growing mountain of laundry, and no-one to cook the egg and chips. But are they really slaves to Fate? Can they seize the day and be modern women at last? Both performances at The Ardington are on Thursday, June 28.
3 Circus. Contemporary circus and theatre company Dizzy O'Dare present their family-friendly performance of The Giant Balloon Show at the Pavilion Theatre, Worthing on Sunday, July 1. It comes as part of Worthing's Summer of Circus – and the company are delighted to be back in the town, this time with a solo performance from company co-founder Mike Imerson. The 45-minute show, which was the winner of the International Festival of Fools in 2017, is suitable for all ages and features clowning, audience interaction and a multitude of balloons.
4 Music. Thursday, July 5, 7.30pm. Dvorak's New World With Worthing Symphony Orchestra And Kosmos Ensemble, Chichester Cathedral, Chichester, PO19 1PX. Worthing Symphony Orchestra and Kosmos Ensemble present New Worlds, pairing Dvorak's hugely-popular New World Symphony with a dynamic new concerto for Kosmos and orchestra, by multi-award winning composer Errollyn Wallen. This exciting fusion of world music and classical is prefaced by Glinka's Ruslan & Ludmilla overture.
5 Music. Some Guys Have All The Luck celebrates The Rod Stewart Story at Brighton Theatre Royal on Sunday, July 1 at 7.30pm. 40 years since Da Ya Think I'm Sexy? topped the charts in the UK, Some Guys Have All the Luck celebrates the career of one of rock's greatest icons, Rod Stewart's journey from street busker to international superstar. Paul Metcalfe will be Rod.
6 Circus. Pioneering companies NoFit State Circus and Motionhouse join forces to perform BLOCK as part of Worthing's Summer of Circus programme on June 28 at the Pavilion Theatre. Revealing what happens when circus and dance collide, BLOCK is about life in the city; its contradictions and challenges. Twenty oversized blocks are deconstructed and reformed to create different cityscapes for the performers to play on, move with and explore. The show promises daring physicality, split-second timing and thrilling feats with original music. The constant shifts of forms echo the transitory nature of city centres, the changing landscapes of our environments and within this context, creates a platform on which the bodies talk about change, barriers, obstacles, repetition, failures and successes.
7 Music. Bestselling author, songwriter and storyteller Mishka Shubaly plays The Prince Albert in Brighton on Sunday, July 1, following his new release When We Were Animals. Spokes-woman Julia Boucher said: "With a series of number one bestseller Amazon Kindle singles, a full-length memoir I Swear I'll Make It Up To You and a writing workshop at Yale, Mishka's writing has made him a cult favourite yet he has also toured non-stop playing his music in dive bars across the globe and releasing two previous records Coward's Path and How To Make A Bad Situation Worse."

Il Tour of Britain (it. Giro della Gran Bretagna) è una corsa a tappe maschile di ciclismo su strada che si tiene ogni anno nel Regno Unito. È inclusa nel calendario dell'UCI Europe Tour come prova di classe 2.HC (2.1 fino al 2013).

Storia
Alcune corse per dilettanti e indipendenti in Regno Unito cominciarono a svolgersi già dal 1945, come quella con partenza da Brighton e arrivo a Glasgow. Dal 1958 assunse preminenza, in qualità di Tour of Britain per dilettanti, la Milk Race (aperta dal 1985 al 1993, ultimo anno di svolgimento, anche ai professionisti).

Nel 1978 si tenne una prova a tappe aperta a professionisti e dilettanti, il Tour Britain Open, vinta da Johan van der Velde. Nel 1987 fu quindi organizzata la prima edizione per professionisti del Kellogg's Tour, vinta da Joey McLoughlin. Nelle stagioni seguenti la gara, corsa in agosto nell'arco di cinque-sei giorni, ebbe tra i suoi vincitori anche Robert Millar, Phil Anderson e Maurizio Fondriest, prima di scomparire nel 1995.

Una nuova gara a tappe, il PruTour, ricomparve in calendario nel maggio delle stagioni 1998 e 1999. Tra il 2000 ed il 2003 la corsa non si è svolta, ma ha ripreso la sua cadenza annuale dal 2004 come Tour of Britain, trovando il mese di settembre come collocazione in calendario. Dal 2005 la gara è inserita nel calendario dell'UCI Europe Tour, prima come prova di classe 2.1, e poi, dal 2014, come prova 2.HC, complice la crescente popolarità e importanza.

This is my second book and sort of a follow on from 50 Races. As per the blurb, GO! is the ultimate inspirational guide to getting outside and challenging yourself. And it's true. If you're wanting some degree of spontaneity and want to compete against yourself or your mates, then this is the book for you!
