The Blés d'Or
Famed performer and choreographer Martha Graham (1894-1991) called dancing the "hidden language of the soul." Recreating traditional folk dance pieces, one Alberta ensemble has tried to capture and preserve the soul of the province's Francophone community.
Les Blés d'Or ("Golden Wheat") is one of the oldest folk dance companies in Alberta. It was formed as a recreational group in St. Paul in 1973 and has since toured internationally, provincially and locally, appearing at both folk and contemporary dance events. Between 1976 and 2001, Les Blés d'Or performed at over 100 festivals, shows, conventions and special events. The group, which is comprised of 20 members, also provides jig and dance workshops.
One of the company's most memorable performances was at Expo '86 in Vancouver, British Columbia. They have also toured Québec on more than one occasion and have travelled twice to Dieppe, France to participate in celebrations of the anniversary of the Dieppe Raid. Other notable appearances include a performance at the Opening Ceremonies of the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary and as Ambassadors for Canada at an international festival in Ireland.
The company operates a dance school and has assisted other communities with the development of folk dance groups. Another group, Les Tourbillons, a senior group, was formed in 1979 by Les Blés d'Or and has since toured the province performing traditional dances.
If you would like more information on Les Blés d'Or and their upcoming events, please feel free to contact them at Box 3078, St. Paul, Alberta or call 780-645-4410.

Honda Reaffirms Its Commitment to Hybrid Tech
By Autopark Honda on March 18, 2014 in News
After announcing last month that it will no longer produce the Insight hybrid at the end of this year, Honda has issued several press releases to vehemently express its commitment to hybrid technology. Halting the production of the Insight spawned other fears among consumers. The fate of other models, like the CR-Z hybrid hatchback and Civic Hybrid sedan, came into question.
Does the Japanese automaker intend to produce future iterations of these vehicles?
Consumers and industry experts alike even asked if Honda intended to continue developing and improving its hybrid system. In the modern world, people remain concerned about the efficiency of vehicles. Disruptive international politics further complicate an already tenuous crude oil supply pricing that, while currently steadied, has dramatically risen over the past decade. These issues certainly contribute to the quick response from Honda regarding its plans.
Honda has officially stated, in response to questions from Green Car Reports, that there are "no production changes" envisioned for the hybrid versions of the CR-Z or Civic models.
The current Integrated Motor Assist (IMA) mild-hybrid system will not be installed in either of the two models to which it has already been fitted in Japan: the 2015 Honda Fit and the 2015 Honda Vezel (likely to be renamed for the American model). In its stead will be a more powerful 22-kilowatt (30 horsepower) electric motor sandwiched between a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine and a seven-speed direct-speed gearbox.
Honda also issued a press release that promises an expanded line of hybrid models to be offered in the United States. The company promised it is "reinforcing its commitment to a clear product strategy focused on further advancing fuel-efficient and alternative-fuel vehicle technologies that are better aligned with customer needs and that strengthen the company's U.S. sales momentum."
No longer will the Japanese automaker offer a mild-hybrid system for its larger sedans. The U.S. market will only see the two-motor hybrid system first launched in the 2014 Honda Accord Hybrid and Accord Plug-In Hybrid. This particular model, however, will not be the only vehicle to have the two-motor hybrid system installed. "Expanded applications" of the system are planned for release.
Photo: Hybrid Cars
With a growing market for hybrid vehicles, particularly in the class that includes the Accord, Honda clearly plans to ramp up its competitiveness in an already saturated field. The company strongly believes that with its reputation for reliability, innovation, and comfort, it has every chance to purloin consumers who've purchased from other brands.
We will see the plans unfold from Honda in the coming months, and you can expect full reports of any updates regarding the automaker's line of hybrid vehicles.

Find Your Workers' Comp Statute of Limitations Here
October 5, 2021by Kimberly Dawn Neumann1
In general, anyone considering filing a workers' comp case should ask a lawyer to verify they have a valid case. A lawyer can also explain the workers' comp statute of limitations within their state, what forms to submit and ensure they follow the correct pathways towards a potential settlement. After all, no one wants to add insult to injury! To get you started, we've compiled a list of workers' comp statute of limitations guidelines for all 50 states below. However, most states have a different deadline for when you must notify your employer about your injury or illness. When in doubt, always consult a lawyer for free about your claim. And don't worry! Workers' compensation attorneys are some of the most affordable, since state laws limit their legal fees.
States With a One-Year Deadline to File Your Claim
The statute of limitations is your state's deadline to file a workers' comp claim before you're no longer eligible. If you miss this deadline, then state law says you cannot qualify for workers' comp benefits. The following states have a one-year workers' comp statute of limitations:
District of Columbia (i.e., Washington, D.C.)
Idaho: Surprisingly, there is no worker's comp statute of limitations in this state. However, if you receive benefits for more than four years, you have one year to file after your last payment.
States With a Two-Year Workers' Comp Statute of Limitations
The workers' comp statute of limitations for the following states is two years from your injury date:
Hawaii: The workers' comp statute of limitations is two years from the date when an injury becomes apparent. Alternatively, the SoL can also be five years from your workplace accident injury date.
Maine: Within two years from the date your employer files a First Report of Injury (assuming you miss at least one day of work). If your employer doesn't need to file a FROI form, then the deadline is two years from your injury date.
Some States Have Unusual Workers' Comp Statute of Limitations Laws
Just a few states give you more than a couple of years to file your claim. Others have statute of limitations laws that require you to act much faster. Here's what you need to know for those states:
Illinois gives you three years from your injury date to file a claim.
Kansas gives three years from your injury date, or two years from the last date of compensation (whichever is later).
Massachusetts state law says you must file within four years from the date you become aware your injury/illness is work-related.
Minnesota gives you no more than three years from your injury date. But that's only if your employer filed a First Report of Injury with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. Otherwise, it's six years from your injury or illness diagnosis date.
Nevada provides 90 days to file your workers' comp claim (except for cases that resulted in death).
Pennsylvania's workers' comp statute of limitations is three years from your injury date.
Vermont gives you no more than six months from your injury date to apply for workers' comp. However, you can apply up to six years after the incident if you can show the employer had prior knowledge.
West Virginia gives you six months from your injury date. Otherwise, you have three years from your last workplace hazardous condition exposure or illness diagnosis date.

Where will the economy be in the Midwest 2015 and beyond? What role will technology and automation play in our economic future? It is abundantly clear to most researchers that the United States and the developed and transitioning world that we are generating a great deal of turbulence globally. Technology is transforming virtually every aspect of world society and effecting changes in regional developmental trends. While positive momentum must be tempered with recent concerns of oil, coal industry, and agricultural commodities, pricing the future outlook looks strong. It is impossible to predict the future with any certainty but, I believe there is reason for optimism in 2015.
Successful technological advancements are created by need, industrial partnering and engineering resources. We have seen demand in welding automation stride forward in the Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, West Virginia and Western PA market area. This is due to strong growth in manufacturing, transportation, energy as well agricultural industries. In particular, there are strong reports from the auto manufactures, oil, natural gas and related pipeline work in eastern Ohio and Western PA. This growth has birthed the return of many supporting distributors, weld shops, and fabricators. These industries have been crying out for knowledgeable workers, new resources, and smart solutions. Our customers are looking for the type of support that only an industry leader such as Bug-O can offer. Innovative company leaders are asking questions such as: "How can we create more efficiency? What moderate steps can we make to affect our bottom line in a positive way? How can we put our people in a position to maximize their potential?" The answer in short is Bug-O welding and cutting systems. Bug-O has long prided itself in partnering with our customers to create a synergy where success becomes a joint venture. Where we have partnered, Bug-O has become a 'force multiplier' needed in today's competitive economy. We have great opportunities existing with our product line to fill nearly almost every production need when it comes to automating a welding or cutting process. Where new solutions are needed we have been able to create exciting products to fit customer specifications.
In summery we look for solid organic growth for the upcoming year. With customer centric focus, partnering in welding automation education and development of proven solutions, we know we are in a winning position. While the New Year's challenges arrive, our customers can be comforted by the fact that they have a strong partner in Bug-O systems.

Q: The BigQuery software is showing that I have not put parenthesis while using nested query although I have put parenthesis as given in the code This is what is displayed when I tried to execute the SQL statements:
"Each function argument is an expression, not a query; to use a query as an expression, the query must be wrapped with additional parentheses to make it a scalar subquery expression at [3:1]"
This is the code:
select station_id,name,number_of_rides
(
select
start_station_id,count(*) as number_of_rides
from
`bigquery-public-data.new_york_citibike.citibike_trips`
group by
start_station_id
)
from
`bigquery-public-data.new_york_citibike.citibike_trips`
inner join
`bigquery-public-data.new_york_citibike.citibike_stations` on station_id=start_station_id
order by
numer_of_rides desc

Can somebody help me with this?

A: I think you intended the subquery of the same table that's in your additional FROM statement to be core table?
So something like this should work:
select station_id,name,number_of_rides
from (
  select
  start_station_id,count(*) as number_of_rides
  from
  `bigquery-public-data.new_york_citibike.citibike_trips`
  group by
  start_station_id
) a
inner join
`bigquery-public-data.new_york_citibike.citibike_stations` on station_id=start_station_id
order by number_of_rides desc

Vince Neil Looks Fatter Than Before, Discusses Motley Crue's Longevity
ByEray Erel Oct 22, 2020 October 22, 2020
Vince Neil, known as the singer/co-founder of the heavy metal band Motley Crue, who will be celebrated its 40th anniversary in early 2021, has recently chatted with Zane Griggs and discussed his band's longevity after all those years.
As some of you know, Vince Neil criticized harshly by Motley Crue fans because of his low performance and overweight due to his alcohol passion. As reported by Motley Crue manager at the time, Vince Neil was preparing for the band's Stadium Tour with trainers and nutritionists like the other members.
However, during the conversation with the interviewer, they touched on Motley Crue's forming year, 1981, and that whether he thought they would do this for many years to come. Answering the question, Vince Neil said that he thought that they just hoped to play two or three years.
When the interviewer asked, "Did you think in those early days you'd still be doing this at 40 years later?", Vince replied (transcribed by MetalCastle):
"No, no, no, we're just hoping to get through that one year, you know, one year, [or] a few years two led to three.
"You know, we just got lucky with the timing. Um, you know, MTV started, it was really the only way people could get the music, obviously is before streaming, and all these other formats we're able to get music. MTV was it. So, if you wanted music and to see what people look like, uh, you had to tune into MTV.
"So, MTV started in 1981, you're right when we started."

TV review by Diondra Brown, Common Sense Media
Angsty teen drama based on musicians' memoir has drugs, sex.
Freevee Drama 2022
Sex, Romance & Nudity
Parents need to know that High School, a drama based on twin musicians Sara and Tegan Quin's highly praised autobiography of the same name, is intended for late teen and young adult viewers. Fans may know Sara and Tegan for their indie pop hits today, but the identical twins share their 1990s coming-of-age story in this entertaining series. The show portrays teen parties, drug use, underage drinking, and romance. Themes include the importance of self-identity and the complexities of navigating high school.
HIGH SCHOOL shares the story of a pair of teenage girls, Sara and Tegan Quin (played by newcomers Railey and Seazynn Gilliland), who would one day become a famous indie pop duo. The show tells the Canadian identical twins' early story from the 1990s, as they attempt to navigate the complexities and heartbreaks of teenage life. After the divorce of their parents (Cobie Smulders and Kyle Bornheimer), Sara and Tegan are forced to transfer to a new high school. Both want to create individual identities, and the show captures their different points of view as they make new paths for themselves. Each sister struggles to make new friends, succeed academically, and make the right decisions. Their exploration of friendship, love, alcohol, and drugs is highlighted. As each sister grapples with her life choices, often alone, they find that one thing has the power to bring them together: their shared love for music. High School shows the duo's emergence as creative songwriters, as they use music to express themselves and find unity.
This show is an instant winner for all fans of Sara and Tegan Quin. High School tells the origin story of two women who would go on to become famous acclaimed indie pop singers and LGBTQ+ role models. Their raw and honest struggles are on full display and serve as lessons for a teen and young adult audience. While twins are often seen as being a cohesive unit, High School challenges that thought -- viewers see the often opposing accounts of life events, from each sister's point of view. Those who enjoy watching the show, even those who have no prior knowledge of the Quin sisters, will likely want to read their autobiography or stream their music.
Families can talk about how in High School, the main characters, Sara and Tegan, are twins who struggle to have their own identities. Do you struggle to create your own identity outside of your sibling(s) or family? How does that make you feel, and what do you do to overcome it? If you don't have this experience, what do you think about how Sara and Tegan choose to differentiate themselves from each other?
The show is set in the 1990s, a time known for grunge, raves, and beepers. What's the most interesting thing you observed about this time period in the show?
Does making new friends mean losing your old ones? What would it feel like to transfer to a new school?
Parents and caregivers may wish to speak to their teens about themes seen in the show, including fitting in at school, divorce, sexual identity, dating, drug use, partying, and underage drinking.

• The Wisconsin economy, barring major policy changes, will see "slow and steady growth over the next two years." Wisconsin has been growing at about 1.4%, well below the 2% national rate.
• From a post-recession low in 2010, Wisconsin has added 50,000 manufacturing jobs, up 12%. Unlike other states, Wisconsin political leaders have doubled down on manufacturing incentives, such as the removal of the corporate income tax in that sector and in agri-business. The unprecedented level of Foxconn subsidies is another striking example.
• The labor participation rate in Wisconsin, a reflection of the state's vaunted work ethic, remains high – 67% here vs. 60% in the nation. Badgers work hard.
• Nonetheless, Wisconsin job growth had lagged the nation, which is interconnected with a slow growth in its labor force.
• The decline in manufacturing intensity in the state has been mitigated by a fall-off in adversarial work stoppages from a high of more than 400 per year in the 1950s to less than 100 by 2000. The shift from being a high wage state in the 1950s and 1960s to the lower half for wages – Georgia levels — also contributed.
• The outflow of college graduates – without the "brain drain" label – continues, though at a lower pace. The net out-migration was more than 5% in the 1980s and was 2.3% in 2016. In a very tight labor market, it remains a big deal at 10,000 per year.

China Merchants Bank (CMB) launched "art banking," an alternative investment program, Tuesday to offer China's new-rich a chance to enjoy Chinese contemporary art, and at the same time, make long-term investment.
Targeting at clients with minimum assets of 10 million yuan, the program is part of CMB's private banking section launched in 2007 in collaboration with China Contemporary Art Foundation, which has a huge collection of more than 3,000 Chinese contemporary art works.
"We have worked with a group of Chinese and Western art experts to pick out 70 artworks including photos, oil paintings, wash paintings and sculptures, ranging from 10,000 to 1 million yuan," said Su Yan, executive director of China Contemporary Art Foundation.
Private banking clients who pay a deposit money for the excellent art work will be given 12-month period to bring the artwork home and decide whether they want to keep it or not. After 12 months, they can either purchase it or return it and get their money back.
"The model is brand new in China, as art investment often involves great risk and wealthy people need time to understand Chinese contemporary art," said Cai Can huang, deputy general manager of CMB's private banking section.
Sea of Desire by Su Xinping
In June 2007, Minsheng Bank first initiated art investment product in China licensed by the China Banking Regulatory Commission, with expected annual yield of 3 to 20 percent.
"Some banks hire art investment consultant and bring clients' money to auction house. We are not doing that, because it easily slips out of control," said Cai, affirming the program as a safe and long-term investment and a means of spiritual enjoyment for high-end clients.
"We offer free transportation and as long as the artwork is well preserved, our clients will at least break-even," said Cai.

NEW YORK & BOULDER, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) and Array BioPharma Inc. (NASDAQ: ARRY) today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Pfizer will acquire Array, a commercial stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of targeted small molecule medicines to treat cancer and other diseases of high unmet need. Pfizer has agreed to acquire Array for $48 per share in cash, for a total enterprise value of approximately $11.4 billion. The Boards of Directors of both companies have approved the merger.
Array's portfolio includes the approved combined use of BRAFTOVI® (encorafenib) and MEKTOVI® (binimetinib) for the treatment of BRAFV600E or BRAFV600K mutant unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The combination therapy has significant potential for long-term growth via expansion into additional areas of unmet need and is currently being investigated in over 30 clinical trials across several solid tumor indications, including the Phase 3 BEACON trial in BRAF-mutant metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC).
In the U.S., colorectal cancer is the third most common type of cancer in men and women. An estimated 140,250 patients were diagnosed with cancer of the colon or rectum in 2018, and approximately 50,000 are estimated to die of their disease each year.1BRAF mutations are estimated to occur in up to 15% of colorectal cancer cases and represent a poor prognosis for these patients.
"Today's announcement reinforces our commitment to deploy our capital to bring breakthroughs that change patients' lives while creating shareholder value," said Albert Bourla, chief executive officer of Pfizer. "The proposed acquisition of Array strengthens our innovative biopharmaceutical business, is expected to enhance its long-term growth trajectory, and sets the stage to create a potentially industry-leading franchise for colorectal cancer alongside Pfizer's existing expertise in breast and prostate cancers."
In addition to the combination therapy for BRAF-mutant metastatic melanoma, Array brings a broad pipeline of targeted cancer medicines in development, as well as a portfolio of out-licensed potentially best-in-class and/or first-in-class medicines, which are expected to generate significant royalties over time.
"We are incredibly proud that Pfizer has recognized the value Array has brought to patients and our remarkable legacy discovering and advancing molecules with great potential to impact and extend the lives of patients in critical need," said Ron Squarer, Array chief executive officer. "Pfizer shares our commitment to patients and a passion for advancing science to develop even more options for individuals with unmet needs. We're excited our team will have access to world-class resources and a broader research platform to continue this critical work."
In May 2019, Array announced results from the interim analysis of the Phase 3 BEACON mCRC trial: The second-or-third-line treatment with the BRAFTOVI triplet combination (BRAFTOVI + MEKTOVI + cetuximab) showed statistically significant improvement in overall response rate and overall survival compared to the control group, reducing the risk of death by 48%. The triplet combination could be the first chemotherapy-free, targeted regimen for patients with BRAF-mutant mCRC. Array intends to submit these data for regulatory review in the United States in the second half of 2019.
"We are very excited by Array's impressive track record of successfully discovering and developing innovative small-molecules and targeted cancer therapies," said Mikael Dolsten, Pfizer chief scientific officer and president, Worldwide Research, Development and Medical. "With Array's exceptional scientific talent and innovative pipeline, combined with Pfizer's leading research and development capabilities, we reinforce our commitment to advancing the most promising science, regardless of whether it is found inside or outside of our labs."
Upon the close of the transaction, Array's employees will join Pfizer and continue to be located in Cambridge, Massachusetts and Morrisville, North Carolina, as well as Boulder, Colorado, which becomes part of Pfizer's Oncology Research & Development network in addition to La Jolla, California and Pearl River, New York.
Pfizer expects to finance the majority of the transaction with debt and the balance with existing cash. The transaction is expected to be dilutive to Pfizer's Adjusted Diluted EPS by $0.04 -$0.05 in 2019, $0.04 -$0.05 in 2020, neutral in 2021, and accretive beginning in 2022, with additional accretion and growth anticipated thereafter. Pfizer will provide any appropriate updates to its current 2019 guidance in conjunction with its third quarter 2019 earnings release.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, a subsidiary of Pfizer will commence a cash tender offer to purchase all outstanding shares of Array common stock for $48 per share in cash for a total enterprise value of approximately $11.4 billion. The closing of the tender offer is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and the tender of a majority of the outstanding shares of Array common stock (on a fully-diluted basis). The merger agreement contemplates that Pfizer will acquire any shares of Array that are not tendered into the offer through a second-step merger, which will be completed promptly following the closing of the tender offer. Pfizer expects to complete the acquisition in the second half of 2019.
Pfizer's financial advisors for the transaction were Guggenheim Securities, LLC, and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz acting as its legal advisor. Centerview Partners served as Array's exclusive financial advisor, while Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP served as its legal advisor.

Top 10 Civil Engineering Wonders – Interesting Engineering
Civil engineering projects continue to dominate headlines across the world. From the world's tallest building to the biggest manmade islands, people everywhere are dependent upon civil engineering innovations. All of this innovation and construction ties back to one main purpose, supporting human life. With this purpose in mind, let's look at some of the most awe inspiring civil engineering wonders and construction projects throughout time.
The world's largest dam, as well as largest hydroelectric power plant, stands tall at 185 m. Its name comes from the fact that it floods three rivers, the Qutang, Wu Xia, and Xiling. The hydroelectric plant is built inside the walls of the structure, producing a total of 4.7 billion kWh each year. During construction, builders used 27.2 million cubic metres of concrete. That's enough concrete to fill 10,200 Olympic sized swimming pools.

Formerly known as the Kingdom tower, crews began construction on this building in Spring 2013. When completed, the Jeddah Tower is estimated to cost 1.2 billion US dollars and top the charts as the world's tallest building. Originally engineers sought to build the structure as high as 1 mile (1.6 km). However, in the design phase, it was scaled back to 3281 ft (1000 m). Even with the downsizing, this building will beat out the current tallest building, the Burj Khalifa, by 591 ft (180m) when completed.

Water is becoming one of the most precious resources on the planet. In southern California specifically, fresh drinking water is hard to come by. Many cities in the area pump drinking water from hundreds of miles away. As the price of fresh water has gone up, desalination has become a more viable option for water sourcing. The Carlsbad Plant aims to take the salt out of 50 million gallons per day and supply San Diego County residents with drinking water.

This 102.4 mile (164.8 km) bridge holds the title of world's longest, and it took four years to construct. Unlike most bridges, it is built in a viaduct design, spanning many valleys and connecting the cities of Shanghai and Nanjing in the Jiangsu province of China. The railway that the bridge connects spans 818 mi (1317 km), which is an engineering feat of its own.

In an effort to commercialize the oil rich city of Dubai, the Prime Minister has commissioned large-scale construction projects in recent years. By now, most everyone has seen the image below of the Palm Islands off the coast of Dubai. This resort island stands as a major civil engineering achievement because everything about it was constructed from sea floor up. 3 Billion cubic feet (85,000,000 cubic meters) of sand was dredged from the sea floor by barges. Along with concrete supports, this sand was used to shape the complex foundation of a palm tree and support the hotel.

As one of the most picturesque cities in the world, Venice, Italy is shrouded in beauty, but the city faces major engineering problems. The city has been pummeled in recent years by flooding from rain as well as rising sea levels. Seeking to keep the city safe, engineers devised a unique method of using rows of mobile gates to keep flood waters at bay. The barriers have the capability to seal off the city of Venice from the rising tides. This project, while not being tremendous in scale, captivates engineers with its unique design and importance to the protection of this famous city.

When Japanese engineers did not have room to expand the Osaka International Airport due to urban crowding, they sought a more unusual foundation technique. Much like the Palm Islands of Dubai, Chinese engineers built an island, upon which they built one of the world's longest airports. To create the island construction crews worked around the clock to excavate the surrounding mountains, totaling an excess of 21,000,000 m3 of dirt. The airport constructed on the island is a marvel in itself, taking the shape of a plane wing to withstand typhoon level winds, common to the area.

New York City is a hub for tourism, business, and the arts, but it also is home to roughly 8.5 million people. Like all heavily populated areas, the issue of fresh water supply comes into question. The Delaware Aqueduct, while possibly one of the least identifiable projects on this list, is not lacking in its civil engineering wonder. Spanning a total of 137 km, this major aqueduct holds the title of longest tunnel in the world. Almost 50,000,000 cubic meters of water is supplied through this tunnel each day to the U.S.'s largest city. This accounts for over half of the total water supply, making this project vital to the lives of millions of American citizens.

Like many other countries, Egypt has experienced exponential growth in recent years. Much of the country of Egypt is arid desert, and in an effort to expand usable land, engineers built a pumping station aimed at making up to 25% of Egypt's land habitable. Before this project, only 5% of the country's land was considered to be able to sustain human development and life. The Mubarak Pumping station is part of a civil engineering plan called the Toshka Project. The station hub is designed much like an island with the structure positioned in the center of Lake Nasser. 24 vertical pumps help channel the water to the surrounding cities from this central location.

By volume, Lake Kariba is the largest man-made reservoir in the world, sitting miles north of the Indian Ocean on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. Covering a total area of 5580 square kilometers this lake has a max capacity of 185 cubic km of water. This is so much water that the excess weight is theorized to have caused over 20 earthquakes in the area since its construction. Like all man-made lakes, this volume of water is held back by a large dam, pictured below. If the dam were to fail, millions would lose their lives and damage from the resulting flood would extend through multiple countries.

Microsoft's Chromium-based Edge gets updated w/ sidebar search, extension sync, more
Microsoft Edge went from a replacement for the often-mocked Internet Explorer to the world's second-most-popular desktop browser. How? Microsoft switched to Chromium. Now, as part of Build 2020, Microsoft Edge is getting a handful of big updates including extension sync, sidebar search, and more.
In a blog post, Microsoft details new features for developers, "information workers," and just for everyone. You can check out the full post or video for a rundown of everything new, but let's touch on some of the biggest new features and changes.
For one thing, Microsoft Edge is adding support for extension sync. If you own more than one computer that's running Edge, your extensions will now sync as long as those devices are all signed into the same Microsoft account. This probably won't be useful for everyone, but this was one previously missing feature that made it really tough for me to move over to Edge earlier this year.
You can see extension sync live in the GIF below. This functionality should already be live in Edge's latest builds. It's unclear, though, if this will work with extensions installed from the Chrome Web Store.
Microsoft Edge is also adding a useful new tool for those who want to split work and personal things in the browser. Automatic profile switching allows users to assign specific URLs to a work profile, and if you click that URL on your personal profile, it will automatically open in the work one. Cool!
Another feature that's sure to make a lot of people happy is an upgrade to Edge's Collections feature. That feature now integrates with Pinterest to "help you find ideas to spark inspiration, save time, and be more productive by suggesting content related to what you have already collected." You'll also be able to export collections to Pinterest. Also of note, Collections will be rolling out a new "Send to OneNote" option as pictured below.
Microsoft is also making Progressive Web Apps work a bit better on Edge. Now, Edge opens PWAs in a standalone menu and allows Windows 10 users to add the apps to the Start Menu and taskbar. That's live in Edge Canary right now.
To end this roundup with a bang, let's talk the sidebar. Edge's sidebar has lots of useful features, but with upcoming updates Microsoft is using this feature to make quick searches easier. By simply highlighting text on screen, users can right-click and search for that term in the sidebar. This can even integrate with business results for companies using Azure.
What's your favorite new feature? I'm glad Microsoft Edge is adding extension sync, but all of this is great. Let us know in the comments!

Pancakes are traditional round-shaped hot cakes served as breakfast in the United States. They are made with flour, sugar, eggs and buttermilk but it can be also added fresh fruit (blueberries or banana) to the dough. The thickness may vary and depends to the presence of leavening agents in the recipe. Pancakes are cooked on a hot surface such as a griddle or frying pan and served with a drizzle of maple syrup or honey.
In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and sugar.
Add buttermilk, melted butter, egg and mix until smooth.
Heat a griddle or a non stick skillet over a medium heat, brush lightly with oil and pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancakes onto the griddle.
Cook until the top is bubbly and golden brown (about 2 minutes) , then with a wide spatula turn the pancake on the other side and cook until golden.


Hiking is a popular and rewarding activity for anyone interested in the outdoors. In fact, hiking is the most popular pastime among campers; a recent report revealed that 92% of campers also hit the trails.
Local outdoor enthusiasts know the hiking trails Nicholas County WV boasts have a huge variety of terrains. Some mountain trails are steep and winding, while others are flatter, and still, others have a wild mix of slopes and obstacles.
Rather than hiking hard at the beginning of a hike and slowing as you tire, try to choose a pace that you can maintain throughout the trip or the day. This strategy will help you cover more distance, build greater pacing skills, and will protect your stamina on a multi-day trip.
Even though you're traveling on a flatter trail, don't forget to look down and watch your step from time to time. You can still trip over roots, rocks, or your own feet on even terrain. An injury can ruin even a leisurely hike.
Mixing up the length of your strides can help preventany one muscle from becoming overstrained. Even though finding a rhythm for breathing and stepping is a good strategy for long distances, occasionally walking on the balls or the heels of your feet and varying your step pattern can help protect your joints and muscles.
Hiking uphill is very tiring, so remember to rest when necessary. Take short, regular breaks and set a slow pace-- speed bursts with longer breaks will cause your heart rate torise and fall, cause you to expend more energy, and will limit how far you actually travel.
If a slope is exhaustingly steep, you can try passing back and forth to ascend more gradually rather than hiking straight upwards.
Downhill hiking creates greater risk for losing balance and taking a tumble. Stay steady by keeping your weight directly over your legs, and don't lean forward or backward.
Avoid the temptation to lock your knees while descending-- a trip or slip can snap ligaments. Keep muscles loose and bent to avoid injury. For greater balance, try using a walking pole or stick for extra steadiness.
Stay safe on the path using these all-terrain tips. Happy trails!

Your Take
You Should Care About World AIDS Day Because Black People Are Dying and We Don't Have To
David J. Johns
Filed to: World AIDS DayFiled to: World AIDS Day
World AIDS Day at 30
#WorldAIDSDay
30 anniversary of World AIDS Day
blacks and AIDS
Blacks and HIV

Coming off the heels of the 2018 midterm elections, we'll observe World AIDS Day on Saturday. We celebrated historic wins this November, electing black and LGBTQIA leaders to offices up and down the ballot. We have come so very far from where we were 30 years ago when World AIDS Day was first established, but black people are still disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. There is still so much to be done.
Today, even with preventative drugs and life-saving medical and scientific advancements, black people are dying from HIV at higher rates. Black men account for 47 percent of those diagnosed with AIDS between 2011 and 2015. Rates of HIV/AIDS decreased in every other subgroup except black men, with HIV diagnoses among African-American gay and bisexual men aged 25 to 34 increasing 30 percent during this period. Similarly, black cis heterosexual women are impacted by HIV/AIDS more than women of any race/ethnicity as they make up 59 percent of women living with HIV according to the CDC, compared to Latinas at 19 percent and white women at 17 percent.
This situation is only made worse by stigma. Witnessing, this week, how problematic language and transphobic thinking ensnared Dwight Howard is evidence of just how far we have to go. If the allegations are true, Howard would be following in a long line of black men forced to shrink and hide because people think they need to offer permission for others to live as they are.
If this annual observance should do anything, it should force us to acknowledge that the HIV epidemic continues to disproportionately impact black people—all of us. I continue to engage in an alarming number of conversations with black people who simply do not understand why they must care about and be engaged in the fight to end the HIV epidemic. My answer to them (and to everyone) is as follows: We are dying from HIV/AIDS and do not have to.
Here are three things you can do to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the black community:
1. Use the Words Matter Toolkit (pdf) to engage in life-affirming conversations to eliminate stigma and increase HIV testing, treatment and support. Words are what we use to process, define and express our human experience. Words have the power to build or break our perceptions, understandings and expectations. The Words Matter toolkit is a resource to assist people of color with having life-saving conversations to reduce stigma and increase testing, treatment and support those living with and impacted by HIV/AIDS
2. Get tested, regularly. We already know that stigma prevents a lot of us from getting tested regularly, but it's critical to ending the spread of HIV/AIDS in our community. The Centers for Disease Control recommends getting tested at least once per year if you are sexually active. Sexually active gay and bisexual men may benefit from more frequent testing (for example, every three to six months). Visit www.nbjc.org to find a free testing site near you.
3. Have conversations and establish agreements with your partner about what you are doing to protect your sexual health and holistic well being before having sex. Too often, we end up engaging in sexual activities without talking about what sexual health looks like. We must have critical conversations about our health and what we are doing to proactively protect each other and protect ourselves.
The statistics reflect where we are as a community on this issue. The longer we allow stigma and shame to prevent us from doing the work required to ensure that we are all happy, healthy and safe from bigotry, discrimination, and oppression the longer it will take all of us to get free.
The resources exist to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the Black community in our lifetime. The questions is: what are we as a community going to do about it?

Three years ago, Ilse Heidegger battled bushfires with a leaf blower on her cattle property at Woolooga, in South-East Queensland.
In the years since, she and her husband, Peter Olivier, have watched as their region, north-west of Gympie, suffered through the drought.
Now in 2022, the couple has faced down yet another disaster ? this time a devastating flood.
Caught off guard by torrential rain, Ms Heidegger and Mr Olivier rushed to save cattle trapped in their bottom paddock.
"The main dam was overflowing, there were rivers of water everywhere" Ms Heidegger said.
Separated from the cattle by water run-off gushing through, the couple devised a plan.
"I would try and encourage the girls to follow me, Peter would go behind to just push them through," she said.
"Unfortunately, by that time, the water was rising and a lot more ferocious than what we had originally anticipated. A couple of calves got swept up into the current."
Mr Oliver saved a calf, born just that day, from floodwaters.
"When I went through to get behind the cattle, I was about ankle-deep in the water, and when I turned around within just 10 to 15 minutes, it went up to knee height," he said.
Managing to rescue one of the two calves swept away, the couple carried the 30 to 40kg calf through floodwaters to higher ground.
Adding to the couple's eventful night, Ms Heidegger's gumboots had washed away leaving her barefoot in the paddock and exposed to threats other than rising floodwater.
"I was kind of tap-dancing over the red belly blacks as they were coming up around us," she said.
Even though they lost a calf, Ms Heidegger stressed that they were very lucky.
"We were very fortunate by comparison to a lot of other people," she said.
'Trials and tribulations' of farming
It was a restless night for the couple, but they woke to find their cattle had survived and, incredibly, the newborn calf had found its mother.
"I don't really name cows but she's of course named Mermaid," Ms Heidegger said.
A deep love of their animals has made the past three years of drought, fire and flood a traumatic experience for the couple.
"I think if you're a farmer, you have an innate love for animals and to see them suffering is incredibly hard," she said.
"But this is our home. And so, you know, through trials and tribulations, we are incredibly blessed and incredibly fortunate that we did survive through the fires."
Others in the area were not so fortunate.
"Our hearts go out to all those farmers who have lost 20 or 30 head of cattle," Ms Heidegger said.
"I cannot imagine what they must be feeling like and then especially those folks who have lost lives and families that are still waiting to hear about their loved ones if they made it or not.
"Nobody can really put themselves in their shoes, and so our thoughts and prayers go out to them."
'The definition of farming'
Clocking up more than 540mm of rain during the flood event, Ms Heidegger said it was "incredible weather".
"We have never experienced something like that. And not that long ago, we had the fires that came through Woolooga. So it's been a bit of fires, drought, flood, so we are going to need to take a bit of a breather for 2022."
Mr Olivier said it was part and parcel of the rural lifestyle.
"It is the definition of farming ? hours of boredom interrupted by moments of anxiety," he said.


The United Federation of Teachers, the country's largest teacher union local, has wrapped up their 2016 elections and results are due back today. President Michael Mulgrew, who infamously threatened Common Core opponents with violence, was being opposed by opt-out activist Jia Lee. Though a victory for Lee would seem to be a no-brainer to most outsiders, those who know the UFT's rigged system of democracy will tell you that it is anything but. It is expected that Mulgrew and Unity Caucus will be victorious, however the MORE Caucus, of which Lee is a member, is expecting to seriously challenge for several executive board seats. Winning executive board seats would represent an enormous victory for MORE, the social justice caucus of the UFT.
53,000 voted, that is up 10,000 from 2013.
Only 1000 of that increase came from retirees who in 2016 make up 46% of the voters. In 2013, retirees made up 52% of the voters.
Where did those new voters go? Mulgrew is the known commodity. The conventional wisdom guess would be the majority went to Unity but we shall see.
We will try to be back later with updated results.

Weight is the common enemy of any competition vehicle. Reducing the weight on the 240SX S13 and S14 is achievable by replacing the heavy stock steel components with lighter weight carbon fiber replacements. One of the heaviest stock components on any vehicle is the doors. Made of steel with reinforcements for crash protection the stock doors weigh quite a bit.
This means that when you install a set of carbon fiber doors there is a big savings in weight. Carbon fiber doors are intended for use on race and competition builds and not intended for use on the street. Installing carbon fiber doors may not be the ideal choice for a street car. Nissan 240SX carbon fiber doors are a bolt on item. Installing carbon fiber doors does require some amount of trimming and adjusting to get the hinges and all the hardware mounted properly. Additionally these carbon fiber doors are set up to accept all the oem features such as door handles and window tracks. In conclusion if you are looking to shave the maximum amount of weight look no further than carbon fiber doors.

Gilbert back to defend title at Brabantse Pijl
With a course that favors climbers who can sprint out of a small bunch, Wednesday's race should favor riders who live for the Ardennes races

With John Degenkolb and the rest of the cobble-bashers cooling their jets following two weeks of hard racing across the pavé, a different profile of rider steps to center stage — leaner, lighter, and faster for when the grade pitches upward. It's time to switch gears into the Ardennes classics.
Sunday's Amstel Gold Race is backed up by Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the "doyenne" of the hilly spring classics, the following weekend.
To ease the transition from cobbles to the hills is Wednesday's Brabantse Pijl, a one-day battle geographically located, appropriately enough, between Flanders and Wallonia.
Two-time winner and defending champion Philippe Gilbert (BMC Racing) headlines a solid start list that blends WorldTour and second-tier teams.
The 55th edition of the race, also called Flèche Brabançonne, officially closes the Flemish classics. The route features a finishing circuit and is far from flat, with 26 climbs along the 205.4km course that winds from Leuven to Overijse.
The race starts in the bar-lined Grote Markt in the region's capital of Leuven, a bustling college town. There are a dozen climbs until the peloton hits three, 23.4km circuits, with five climbs per lap.
The race favors a fast kicker who can get up the climbs and win out of a reduced bunch sprint, so it's no surprise that such riders as Oscar Freire and Peter Sagan have won here over the past decade.
"The race is a pretty predictable race, especially because the weather forecast is optimistic. In the first loop, there shouldn't be an escape of a big group or a group with teammates of the favorites. Probably the peloton will be still big and racing at high speed at the beginning of the circuit. From that moment on, it will be an elimination race. Because of all the climbs on the route, it will be hard to get back in the race once you had to let go," said Lotto-Soudal sport director Bart Leysen. "I think there is only one favorite: Philippe Gilbert. BMC will have to control the race and he will be the man to beat. Besides Gilbert, Belgians like [Jan] Bakelants, [Gianni] Meersman and foreigners [Michael] Matthews and [Thomas] Voeckler will be present."
Lotto-Soudal will line up with Tony Gallopin, and as Leyden mentioned, riders such as Michael Matthews (Orica-GreenEdge), Jan Bakelandts (Ag2r La Mondiale), and Wilco Kelderman (LottoNL-Jumbo) will be in the mix.
Ten WorldTour teams start out of the field of 25 squads, meaning that the professional continental teams will be riding for a big result ahead of the Ardennes classics.
In 2011, Gilbert won Brabantse en route to sweeping all three Ardennes classics. Last year, he won again ahead of claiming another victory at Amstel Gold. Will three times be a charm for Gilbert?

A religião é um dos temas principais na série de televisão norte-americana The Simpsons. O criador da série, que redige seus episódios, Matt Groening é agnóstico, e em grande parte do humor da série satiriza aspectos religiosos do cristianismo  e das religiões em geral, com a excepção do Islão. No entanto, alguns episódios, como "Bart Sells His Soul" e "Alone Again, Natura-Diddily", podem ser interpretados como tendo um tema espiritual.

A série foi elogiada mas também criticada por ateus, agnósticos, liberais, conservadores e religiosos em geral por sua representação da fé e religião na sociedade. O programa poderá funcionar como um mediador da alfabetização bíblica entre as gerações mais jovens de telespectadores não religiosos.

Em dezembro de 2009, um artigo publicado no jornal do Vaticano L'Osservatore Romano , elogiou os Simpsons pela sua maneira "realista" de lidar com a religião.

A família Simpson, contudo, aparece frequentando, aos domingos,  uma igreja fictícia - o "Ramo Ocidental do Presbiteluteranismo da Reforma Americana"  assim identificada no episódio "O Pai, o Filho, e a Santa Estrela Convidada". Isto é geralmente interpretado como representando a multiplicidade de tradições protestantes americanas em geral e não uma denominação específica.

O episódio "O terno de macaco" retrata Ned Flanders com a campanha "contra a evolução". Porém, Lisa Simpson, explica que ela respeita a sua crença no criacionismo, mas esclarece que não deveria ser ensinada nas escolas por não ser uma explicação científica.

Atitudes de caráter
Maior parte da cidade, incluindo a família Simpson, vão à igreja aos domingos,  um hábito comum entre os habitantes. Os personagens mais religiosos do show são Ned Flanders e o Reverendo Timothy Lovejoy. Flanders, um graduado da Oral Roberts University, é um cristão ultraconservador e parece expressar pouca tolerância para outras religiões e sexualidades, alegando que eles são todos hedonistas, e aqueles que seguem esse estilo de vida  vão para o inferno. Ned geralmente tem uma visão positiva da vida e não sai de sua maneira de expressar sua intolerância. Embora Homer frequente a igreja, sido batizado e tido mesmo conversas com Deus, ele indicou, em numerosas ocasiões, que não é religioso. Por exemplo, em The Simpsons Movie, antes de entrar na igreja, ele diz, "Relax, esses idiotas piedosos estão muito ocupados falando com seu Deus baloney-falso."  Lisa Simpson foi retratada como cristã no episódio da segunda temporada "Homer vs Lisa e o 8º Mandamento", no entanto ela diz ser budista secular, embora compareça à igreja.

Divindades
Deus se manifestou várias vezes - com uma mão distintamente com cinco dedos (em comparação a outros personagens que só possuem quatro dedos) - vigiando, e por vezes interagindo com os personagens do programa (geralmente com Ned Flanders ou Homer). A divindade hindu Vishnu é localizada no centro da terra, controlando o mundo com alavancas numerosas. Há também inúmeras referências ao deus hindu Ganesh, principalmente por Homer quando conversa com Apu. Em vários episódios, Jesus é retratado como um homem com uma longa barba castanha e roupas brancas, principalmente quando Homer é enviado para o céu. Na introdução de "Treehouse of Horror XVI", Kang e Kodos avançam em um jogo de beisebol até a terra que torna-se em um vácuo gigante que suga todo o universo; antes de tudo se transformar em um vazio branco, Deus (tem uma aparência muito semelhante à Jesus) detém-se sobre a as bordas da tela antes de ele também ser sugado.

The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism

The Western Branch of American Reform Presbylutheranism ("Ramo Ocidental do Presbiteluteranismo da Reforma Americana" , um cruzamento entre o presbiterianismo e Luteranismo) é a religião protestante de ficção cristã que prega Rev. Lovejoy na Primeira Igreja de Springfield. A igreja é o principal lugar de culto da cidade, embora não seja a única igreja de Springfield (AME - Metodista Episcopal, Católica e igrejas episcopais também existem). O nome incomum específico é uma paródia das igrejas protestantes reformadas ramificando-se em outras denominações e movimentos.  Há um episódio da série em que Homer, ao passar por situação difícil, diz: "Não  sou um homem que reza, mas por favor me salve, Superhomem!"

Lovejoy é um membro do clero de Presbiteluteranismo. A denominação, com sede em Michigan City, é liderada por "Sua Santidade, o Parson", que também é o chefe eleito do Congresso Nacional dos Diáconos. No episódio ''Pulpit Friction''  da vigésima quarta temporada Homer se torna um diácono da igreja, ordenado pelo Reverendo Hooper.

O Cisma de Lourdes em 1573 marcou o Presbiteluteranismo, dividindo-se oficialmente da Igreja Católica Romana sobre o direito de frequentar a igreja com os cabelos molhados. Esse direito já foi abolido.

A igreja ainda permanece em desacordo com o catolicismo (mesmo que eles terem parado de brigar um com o outro). O Rev. Lovejoy tem uma rivalidade com uma igreja Episcopal local, ele se envolve numa briga com um padre católico depois de uma troca de hostilidades.

Movimentarianos
Os Movimentarianos é um culto de lavagem cerebral, em que por um breve tempo foram enredados muitos dos cidadãos de Springfield no episódio "The Joy of Sect", que obrigava a população a repartir as suas poupanças e as suas casas e depois trabalharem colhendo feijão. Os Movimentarianos são liderados por uma figura misteriosa conhecida apenas como "líder" que promete levá-los para um planeta chamado Blisstonia por uma nave espacial, mas na verdade esta "nave espacial" é um avião movido a pedal. O "líder" tenta sair com o dinheiro de todos, mas ele não voa muito longe, batendo em um pátio.

Judaísmo
Springfield é o lar de uma pequena comunidade judaica, ainda ativa: Entre os seus membros , é incluindo Krusty e o seu pai Krustofsky, (um aposentado e velho judeu que é um amigo de Abe Simpson).
