Alberto Mijangos (born July 25, 1925, Mexico City – June 19, 2007 San Antonio, Texas) was a Mexican-American artist and painter.

Mijangos was born in Mexico City. Mijangos dropped out of school in Mexico. However, he went on to study at the San Carlos Art Academy in Mexico City and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.  He witnessed Diego Rivera, considered one of Mexico's most successful artists, paint murals on the country's National Palace.

Mijangos moved to the city of San Antonio, Texas, sometime in the 1950s.  His paintings were abstracts that dealt with social and spiritual issues. Mijangos began operating a small museum for the Mexican government in San Antonio, Texas, in 1959.  The downtown San Antonio museum has since become known as the Instituto de Mexico en San Antonio. After leaving the Instituto, Mijangos ran the Blue Door Gallery, and later Salon Mijangos, a small art school with a gallery space on the south side of San Antonio.

Mijangos died on June 19, 2007, of lymphoma.

Venues / Public Art & Monuments / Torre Mayor
Torre Mayor
By alex Sunday March 22nd, 2020
Public Art & Monuments
From left to Right: Chapultepec Uno, Torre Mayor, Torre BBVA México (in front) and the Torre Reforma. Click to enlarge. The September 2019 photo is by Cvmontuy on Wikimedia Commons.
The Torre Mayor was the lone skyscraper on its end of Paseo de la Reforma for 12 long years. Today, Mexico City residents by and large give it the respect it's due, even despite its taller and flashier neighbors.
The tower is among the most well documented of skyscrapers, in some part, because doubts existed as to whether a building of this scale could be accomplished. It was. And it was the only one for many years.
Developed by Canadian architect, Paul Reichmann, the building is often recognized for the extreme dampening devices. These are said to ensure its ability to survive even an earthquake of 8.5 on the Richter scale.
From 1999 to 2003, the construction took place, and notably without a single serious worker accident or death.
30,000 square meters of glass make up the south facade.
About 8,000 people work in the building on any given day.
The building's 29 passenger elevators can reach a top speed of 6.7 meters per second.
The height of the building is 225.4 meters, with total floor space of 157,000 square meters of which 84,135 square meters is office space.
Although the photo above shows that the neighborhood of the Torre Mayor has gotten a lot more crowded, the Torre Mayor was still the first. For many, it will stand alone as one of the true forerunners. The tower's place in the sky is secure even while its place in the skyline gets a little harder to see.

By artist Giovanni Paolo Panini (1691-1765), in Louvre, Paris

Giovanni Paolo Panini (1691-1765)
Giovanni Paolo Panini, Italian painter and architect, is mainly known for being a view painter, but also painted portraits, frescoes and stage designs. Panini remains best-known for his paintings depicting grandiose views of Rome and his antiquities. He even painted decorative frescoes for the Pope, securing his place in Roman and Art History. Panini first trained as a stage designer in his hometown of Piacenza in Italy, but moved to Rome to study figure drawing.
He soon found his niche in decorations and vedute paintings. Panini's paintings were unique and pleasing, especially among tourists. Views of Modern Rome, displays Panini's bold assuredness in figure and architectural placement. The precise draftsmanship of Panini paintings was not only a lively commentary on contemporary events and society, but also an influence on other artists to come.

Yersinia pseudotuberculosis (Pfeiffer, 1889) Smith & Thal, 1965 è un batterio appartenente alla famiglia Yersiniaceae, noto anche come bacillo di Malassez e Vignal.

È un bacillo gram-negativo, anaerobio facoltativo, ossidasi-negativo, dotato di flagelli e mobile a 25 °C. La sierotipizzazione si basa sulle differenze di struttura dell'antigene somatico O; si conoscono 6 sierotipi, il più diffuso dei quali è il sierotipo 1.

Epidemiologia
È una specie ubiquitaria, ma con una maggiore diffusione nelle zone rurali e con basse condizioni igieniche.

L'infezione provocata da Y. pseudotuberculosis è una zoonosi e l'uomo è un ospite accidentale; il serbatoio naturale sono roditori, animali selvatici e cacciagione.

L'uomo, per il quale questo batterio è comunque una causa relativamente poco comune di malattia, si può infettare per contatto diretto con l'animale o ingerendo alimenti contaminati.

Patologia
È una specie principalmente enterica e raramente viene isolata dal sangue.

Y. pseudotuberculosis penetra nella mucosa intestinale al livello dell'ileo e si localizza nei linfonodi ileocecali. Provoca un'adenite mesenterica simile a quella che si verifica negli animali, che può raramente evolvere in sepsi in soggetti defedati. La patologia simula, nell'uomo, un'appendicite acuta (pseudoappendicite).

We demonstrate that many detection methods are designed to identify only a sufficently accurate bounding box, rather than the best available one. To address this issue we propose a simple and fast modification to the existing methods called Fitness NMS. This method is tested with the DeNet model and obtains a significantly improved MAP at greater localization accuracies without a loss in evaluation rate, and can be used in conjunction with Soft NMS for additional improvements. Next we derive a novel bounding box regression loss based on a set of IoU upper bounds that better matches the goal of IoU maximization while still providing good convergence properties. Following these novelties we investigate RoI clustering schemes for improving evaluation rates for the DeNet wide model variants and provide an analysis of localization performance at various input image dimensions. We obtain a MAP of 33.6%@79Hz and 41.8%@5Hz for MSCOCO and a Titan X (Maxwell).


You will love the gorgeous fragrance of the pure Lavender essential oil. Fresh, crisp and uplifting with organic calendula extract for skin repair. Leaves your skin glowing and smooth.
Beautiful and refreshing to use!
I feel totally confident in the Lhami skincare range as I trust Natalie's use of safe, organic ingredients. This is important as these ingredients are absorbed into the whole of my body.
I have super sensitive skin, and need to be quite picky with the products I use to avoid reactions. This lavender body lotion is gorgeous, so soothing, and is my go to moisturiser morning and night, especially in the cooler weather when our skin dries out most. The lavender fragrance is subtle (not at all overpowering like some other branded products). This is one of my most favourite Lhami products.


Kiss Nail Products may try to argue that the mark Iconic is only descriptive on the spectrum established in the Abercrombie case, and therefore, must also prove secondary meaning. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. v. Hunting World, Inc., 537 F.2d 4 (2nd Cir. 1976). Because the "ICONIC" mark has not been in use for five consecutive years, the registration is still contestable. However, due to its successful registration House of Lashes would likely have a more successful argument that Iconic is suggestive when used for false eyelashes and is inherently distinctive. Additionally, House of Lashes could also potentially prove that its mark and trade dress has acquired secondary meaning through the immense advertising, large social media following, and volume of units sold.
House of Lashes seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief that would prevent Kiss Nail Products from using the Iconic trademark and packaging. House of Lashes also requests the defendant's profits from the sale of the allegedly infringing goods, other available damages, attorneys' fees, and the destruction of all advertising and sale material with the Iconic label.
The case is House of Lashes v. Kiss Nail Products, Inc., Case 8:18-cv-01361 (C.D. Cal. 2018).


Mutton has been a favourite of India, especially in the Royal Kitchens.
Mutton is a tough and strongly-flavored meat that needs to be marinated.
Indian Mutton Recipes- Tender, flavorsome, succulent and sensational! If these words are enough to get you salivating, then these recipes are definitely going to take you to seventh heaven. From the classic Lamb Korma to Rajasthani Laal Maas, we bring you the best of mutton dishes. Mutton is a tough and strongly-flavored meat that needs to be marinated and cooked well to bring out its unique taste. It features prominently in various cuisines across the globe, from American hamburgers and British roasts to the classic Indian and Middle Eastern lamb curries and stews. When we focus on Indian cuisine particularly, it is evident that mutton has been a favourite since ancient times, especially in the Royal kitchens. Lal Maas from Rajasthan, Galouti Kebabs from Lucknow, Rogan Josh from Kashmir, Awadhi Biryanis are some of the popular preparations that capture the essence of Indian culture and tradition.
Spices like cloves, cardamom, coriander powder, mace and nutmeg are used generously to enhance the flavour of meat. The most important step while cooking mutton is marination. Marinade is a mix of spices used to flavour and tenderize the meat. Yogurt is the best ingredient to marinate mutton along with mild spices and even vinegar.
Most mutton curries require slow cooking on low heat (dum style) to retain its moisture, juices and tenderness. Meat should first be cooked over high heat to seal juices and then cooked till tender on low heat.
Another thing that you should keep in mind is when to add salt. Do not add salt to the meat before cooking it. Salt forces the juices out and prevents browning. You should add salt halfway through cooking.
Mutton of a younger animal is tender and tastes better. It is pinkish in colour with a firm yet soft texture. If it looks red and 'wrinkled', it will be tough.
Keep a pan of water close to the barbecue to keep the meat moist while being grilled.
While making kebabs, marinate the meat for longer. This will prevent the kebabs from becoming hard and chewy. Also, refrigerate the kebabs for a couple of minutes before frying. This helps in binding them and gives them a firm texture.
Galouti kebabs are the highlight of Awadhi cuisine. Made first for the nawab of Lucknow, Galouti kebab are tender and juicy and are believed to have a melange of 150 spices when first invented. Through the years, these kebabs have traveled around the world with various easy recipes. These melt-in-the-mouth kebabs are made with finely minced mutton and shallow fried in desi ghee and here is a quick and easy recipe for you to make these royal treats at home and relish as an appetizer. It goes best with ulte tawe ka paratha or savour it just with a chutney of your choice.

The Patient Retention Report is designed to give you an overview of the booking habits of your staff members.
It will show you the number of new patients for the practice, and per staff member, and help give you an idea of whether clients are booking back in.
Data is only as good as the lens through which you view it. So knowing your staff and how they practice is essential for really drawing conclusions from straight numbers. I encourage you to keep this in mind when reviewing all reports.
That being said, let's look at the lines of the Retention Report one by one.
The first line is New Patients. This is exactly how it sounds :) New patients to the practice. These are those that are coming in for the very first time and have never been seen by anyone else in your practice. They will have the "first visit" badge on their appointments on the schedule.
This number can show you which of your practitioners is either attracting new clients, or the one who is seeing only new clients and not rebooking. I have seen very successful practitioners vary widely on these reports, and the same numbers can mean very different things. High numbers in the new patient line could be both a positive OR a negative depending on the reason for the bookings.
The second line is also fairly self explanatory: Returning Patients. This is the number of clients who are returning to the practice (but note that they are not necessarily returning to see the same person in your practice). They may have been in first for Massage and are now returning for Physiotherapy for example, and they will display as "returning".
The third line is the total number of clients seen by the practitioner during the date range you selected. Jane is just adding the two previous numbers together for you.
The fourth line is Total Visits - this is the number of actual treatments that were arrived during the reporting period. This includes all visit types attended by all clients.
Jane removes the initial visits from the visit count and then turns that number into a percentage of visits. You can see here of all the visits seen in that time frame what percentage of the visits were repeat business TO THE PRACTICE. Again really important to note here that this number is showing the percentage of patient visits that are returning to the clinic. They may have previously seen a different staff member.
Shows how many of these visits were repeat during the reporting period. So for example, if the report is run for an entire month, this is the number of visits that were a returning visit during this period. All first visits within the month for all clients will be excluded.
This will give you a rough idea of whether the practitioner is booking clients more than a single time. Again, it's always important to keep treatment style, report date ranges, vacation or sick time and the many other factors that could be affecting reporting data in mind.
If there's data that you're trying to extract from Jane, let us know what it is and most importantly WHY you want it and what you want to do with it, and we'd love to discuss how Jane can help.

10 Sets of Siblings Who Achieved Greatness
By Major Dan	 January 19, 2015 2 Comments
On January 19, 2014, one year ago today, Serena Williams, the reigning Number 1 female tennis player in the world, was upset in the fourth round of the Australian Open. Along with her sister Venus, the Williams girls are the two most successful sibling tennis players ever. History is full of brothers and sisters who have achieved greatness either in the same endeavor or in separate careers. Here we list 10 such relatives from a variety of professions. (History and Headlines Note: If Jeb Bush is elected President of the United States in 2016, he and his brother George W. will have achieved perhaps the most profoundly famous achievements of any siblings ever, both having been governor of a state and president of the country.)
10. Leon and Michael Spinks.
Winners of the Olympic gold medals in boxing at the 1976 games in the light heavyweight and middleweight divisions respectively, Leon and Michael Spinks both went on to become World Boxing Association (WBA) champions later in their careers. Leon, a former U.S. Marine like fellow boxers Ken Norton and Jack Dempsey, won his heavyweight championship against Muhammad Ali, the self-proclaimed "Greatest." Michael won his light-heavyweight title by defeating Larry Holmes, one of boxing's all-time greats.
9. Shirley MacLaine and Warren Beatty.
These two Hollywood icons are sister and brother, both of whom have won an Oscar and have been nominated for many more. Other famous acting siblings include: the Wahlbergs (Mark and Donny are actors, the others run a famous hamburger joint and have their own TV show); the Baldwins (Alec, Daniel, William and Stephen); Lee Marvin and James Coburn; James Arness and Peter Graves; Joan Fontaine and Olivia de Havilland; John and Joan Cusack; Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal; Zooey and Emily Deschanel, and many more.
8. Mary I and Elizabeth I.
This pair of English queens were actually only half sisters who could not have been more different. Mary fought to restore Catholicism and the authority of the Pope in England and became known as "Bloody Mary" as a result, whereas Elizabeth, who became known as "Gloriana," was a committed Protestant who headed the Anglican Church during her reign. Though they agreed on little in life, when she died, Elizabeth chose to be buried next to her sister who had died 45 years previously, and on their joint tomb is inscribed, "Partners both in throne and grave, here rest we two sisters, Elizabeth and Mary, in the hope of one resurrection."
7. Various Siblings in the Music Business.
The music world is filled with examples of siblings who hit it big. Phil and Don Everly have had their share of acrimonious breakups in the most un-brotherly of ways, as have Creedence Clearwater Revival's Fogerty brothers. The Bee Gees, a.k.a. the Brothers Gibb (Maurice, Robin and Barry) along with little brother Andy, were a huge musical success, though marked by tragedy. The Allman Brothers were crowd pleasers, and The Carpenters were brother and sister. Ray and Dave Davies formed the heart of the Kinks, and of course the rocking girls from Heart are sisters. Utah produced Donnie and Marie Osmond (and their other siblings). And who could forget the band of brothers in the Jackson 5 and their sisters Janet and Latoya. The Cowsills were a real family (but the Partridge Family was not!). Feel free to mention any others you can think of. (Clue: Think Van Halen, AC/DC, Devo, The Beach Boys, Isleys, Radiohead, Oasis, etc.)
6. Various Sets of Brothers in the National Football League (NFL).
Football is a field with many famous brothers, to include these premier pass throwers Peyton and Eli Manning. The 2013 Super Bowl saw Jim and John Harbaugh face each other as head coach of the respective teams, and another set of coaching brothers is Rex and Rob Ryan. Archie and Ray Griffin were both Ohio State Buckeyes who turned professional, with Archie being the only 2-time Heisman Trophy winner. Merlin, Phil and Orrin Olsen became a family trifecta in the NFL. Chris and Matt Bahr kicked their way into the NFL, and Walter and Eddie Payton ran the ball. The sons of football player, Clay Matthews, Sr., Clay Jr. and Bruce Matthews, are members of a football dynasty, their 4 sons, Clay Matthews III, Kevin Matthews, Jake Matthews and Casey Matthews, also being professional players. In all, at least 348 sets of brothers have played in the NFL, too many to list all of them!
5. Various Sets of Brothers in Professional Baseball
The baseball players in the DiMaggio family were headlined by "Joltin" Joe, the "Yankee Clipper," successor to Babe Ruth as the biggest star of the Yankees and one of the all-time greatest players ever. Brothers Vince and Dom did not achieve Joe's level of success but were solid players. Other famous baseball brothers include: the Alou brothers (Jesus, Matty and Felipe); Ken and Clete Boyer; George and Ken Brett; Cal and Billy Ripken; Dizzy and Daffy Dean; Sandy and Roberto Alomar; Gaylord and Jim Perry; and Phil and Joel Niekro, just to name a few. History and Headlines Fact: Joe DiMaggio was married to Marilyn Monroe.
4. The Kennedy Brothers.
Joe, the eldest, is the least known Kennedy brother because he passed away young, dying during a mission in World War II. John, the second oldest, became a senator and then President of the United States. Like his older brother, he was a decorated war hero. Robert, the third oldest, was U.S. Attorney General and a senator and possibly president had he not been assassinated. Edward, the youngest, was one of the longest-serving senators ever. His involvement in the Chappaquiddick incident cost him his presidential aspirations however.
3. Venus and Serena Williams.
These Amazonian-like tennis machines have been destroying opponents professionally for over 15 years now, with Serena snagging 18 Grand Slam events and Venus 7. Serena is currently Number 1, and Venus has been ranked Number 1 on 3 occasions. They even play doubles tennis together, winning numerous tournaments. They have 4 Olympic gold medals each, 3 of them being in doubles.
2. Vitaly and Wladimir Klitschko.
Between the 2 of them, these Ukrainian heavyweight boxers have held all the boxing heavyweight championship titles for several years now. Vitaly an Wladimir Klitschko have had more success than any other boxing brothers in history. Nearing the end of their careers, both of them will certainly rank among the best heavyweights of all time. Headlines and History Fact: Incredibly, both of these guys are highly intelligent and have PhDs! So much for the stereotype that boxers are Neanderthal brutes.
1. Wilbur and Orville Wright.
Inventors of the first successful powered, heavier-than-air airplane to achieve controlled, sustained flight with a pilot aboard, the Wright Brothers, Wilbur and Orville, created a technology that defined travel, transport and warfare in the 20th century. And no, Orville did not invent microwave popcorn.

Protesters block roads in Serbia over lithium mining project, Auto News, ET Auto
Belgrade: Hundreds of environmental protesters blocked roads in Belgrade and other Serbian towns on Saturday, angered at mining giant Rio Tinto's plans to extract lithium in the Balkan nation.
Substantial deposits of lithium, a key component for electric car batteries, are found around the western town of Loznica, where the Anglo-Australian company has started to buy land but is still waiting for the green light from the state to begin mining.
In Belgrade, protesters blocked the main bridge in the capital and a major intersection for an hour, after scuffles with security forces who eventually let them carry on with their action.
"I am here because I don't want them to sell off the land of my ancestors. Serbia is not for sale," one of the protesters, Milan Milosavljevic, a 31-year-old musician, told AFP.
Protesters also blocked roads in several other Serbian towns, including Novi Sad in the north, central Kragujevac, Sabac in the northwest and the western town of Valjevo, according to the N1 television channel.
Rio Tinto discovered lithium reserves in the Loznica region in 2006.
The company intends to invest $2.4 billion in the project, according to Vesna Prodanovic, director of Rio Sava, Rio Tinto's sister company in Serbia.

Q: Plot multiple lines on subplots with pandas df.plot Is there a way to plot multiple dataframe columns on one plot, with several subplots for the dataframe?
E.g.  If df has 12 data columns, on subplot 1, plot columns 1-3, subplot 2, columns 4-6, etc.
I understand how to use df.plot to have one subplot for each column, but am not sure how to group as specified above.
Thanks!

A: This is an example of how I do it:
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

fig, axes = plt.subplots(1, 2)

np.random.seed([3,1415])
df = pd.DataFrame(np.random.randn(100, 6), columns=list('ABCDEF'))
df = df.div(100).add(1.01).cumprod()

df.iloc[:, :3].plot(ax=axes[0])
df.iloc[:, 3:].plot(ax=axes[1])

Q: Display department names using Cursors.Create a PL/SQL block to display all the department names from the Department table using cursors TABLE:
Column name Data type Constraints

DEPARTMENT_ID NUMBER(5) PK
DEPARTMENT_NAME VARCHAR2(25) NOT NULL
LOCATION_ID VARCHAR2(15)

I have tried this. But still i didn't get my output. Can somebody help me to get the output.
set serveroutput on;
DECLARE
DEPARTMENT_NAME VARCHAR2(25);
CURSOR dep_cursor IS
SELECT
DEPARTMENT_NAME
FROM
department;
BEGIN
OPEN dep_cursor;
FETCH dep_cursor INTO DEPARTMENT_NAME;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Department Names are :' || DEPARTMENT_NAME);
CLOSE dep_cursor;
END;
/

Error message: Bind variable "~" not declared.
Sample output:
Department Names are :
ADMIN
DEVELOPMENT
TESTING

A: It is about those "fancy" single quotes you used here:
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Department Names are :' || DEPARTMENT_NAME);

should be
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Department Names are :' || DEPARTMENT_NAME);

As of other "errors" you've made: without a loop, cursor returns only one row and you then display it. I'd suggest you to switch to a cursor for loop as it is simpler to maintain:
begin
  for cur_r in (select department_name from department) loop
    dbms_output.put_line(cur_r.department_name);
  end loop;
end;
/

This is everything you need; no declaration section, no opening nor closing a cursor, no worrying about exiting the loop ... Oracle does it for you.

A: SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
declare
v_dept department.department_name%type;
cursor c_dept is SELECT department_name FROM department;
BEGIN
  dbms_output.put_line('Department Names are :');
    OPEN c_dept;
    LOOP
        FETCH c_dept INTO v_dept;
        EXIT WHEN c_dept%notfound;
        dbms_output.put_line(v_dept);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c_dept;
END;
/

A: *

*

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;  declare v_dept
department.department_name%type;  cursor c_dept is SELECT
department_name FROM department order by department_name asc;
BEGIN   dbms_output.put_line('Department Names
are :');
OPEN c_dept;
LOOP
FETCH c_dept INTO v_dept;
EXIT WHEN c_dept%notfound;
dbms_output.put_line(v_dept);
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_dept; END;

*

*

This will 100% work as question is also asking to display in Ascending order.
Please up-vote if you find this useful

A: SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;

For anyone who has never heard of the Bioderma it is a French Skincare Brand and let me tell you this stuff it AMAZING. I can definitely see why this gets Holy Grail status with a lot of Makeup Artists and Bloggers. This is a gentle facial cleansing water and is formulated specifically for sensitive skin. It is Perfume free and Hypoallergenic and of course everything on this bottle is written in french. I use this at night to remover my make up with a Cotton Pad (It even takes of waterproof makeup) and in the morning on clean skin as apart of my morning skin care routine. This is such a quick and effective way of cleaning your skin for people who tend to be more laid back in their skincare routine and is perfect when coming home after a late night out. I love how this makes my skin feel so soft and clean after every use. As soon as i saw this in the Bellabox shop it didn't even click that the reason i was in stock might be because it was apart of this months samples and I'm so glad i got the Bioderma Sebium Cleanser so i can give that a try and see which i like better and if i notice a difference.
Are you a Bioderma Fan? Let me know what you consider to be a Holy Grail skincare product as I'm always on the lookout for more.
I saw it on there for $22.70 as well and was thinking I should pick it up, then forgot about it and now the price is back up, damn it!
I think the only real difference between the 2 is the skin type they are aimed for. Crealine works for all skin types and I think is specially formulated for Sensitive skin whereas Sebium is mainly targeted towards oily skin.
Bellabox's customer service is fantastic! I love how they give samples with their shop orders!
I received this one in my Bellabox and I think it's great for removing makeup. I would buy it for $22.70, but the normal price is a bit too much.
I love the necklaces Bellabox have this month! I'm going to have to do an order before the end of the month just so I can get one.
It is so expensive for what people mainly use it for and i know you can buy it off ebay and it's a lot cheaper but I've read a few post's about "fake" ones so I would be to afraid to buy it from there.
I absolutely love Bioderma and I cannot believe I missed out on this fantastic deal!
WOW I also ordered some Bioderma cleansing water from BB's website, but I got the Sebium instead the Crealine that you got and I also received a moustache necklace, in blue; the pink one you got looks soooooo cute!!
Great post!! I just subscribed to your blog!

Jeremy Cooney takes his job seriously.
I invited Jeremy to throw out the first pitch as part of the 23rd year of The Game. I learned that he and his Communications Associate, Miles Cunning, first went to the Harley School to loosen up. Jeremy was a little rusty, not having played since his Little League days at Cobb's Hill. The two were successful. I was the umpire and called the first pitch a well earned strike.

After the pitch, we went to the Brighton Farmer's Market where Jeremy was warmly greeted by constituents.

NYS Senator Jeremy Cooney, (D, W, 56thSD) became the fourth elected representative of the Town of Brighton — all with athletic pedigrees — to join The Game at the Corners.
In 2018, Brighton Town Councilmember Robin Wilt, who played and coached rugby, threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the season.
In 2021, Brighton Town Supervisor William Moehle, who played baseball and basketball when growing up in Michigan, threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the season and then pitched three strong innings.
In 2022, Brighton Town Council member Jason DiPonzio, who runs marathons, shook off 18 years of rust to toss a strike when he threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the season. (SEE FULL SERIES AT END)

In The Boys and Girls of Summer complete 22nd season of the Game at the Corners. unofficial commissioner David Esan gives the history of the game:
The game has its roots in pick up games played over 40 years ago at the Hillel School. As families grew, the game disappeared. It started again 23 years ago. The theme is to have fun, and hopefully to pass the love of softball to a younger generation. All are welcome to join us. The game is every Sunday at 9:30am at the Twelve Corners Middle School softball field; players gather a little earlier to warm up. Afterwards, many enjoy a visit to the adjacent Farmer's Market in the High School parking lot. For more info, contact me at [email protected]
After the game, Jeremy elaborated on his own experiences with baseball and cricket.
Talker: Tell us a little about your personal and professional lives. What motivated you to run for New York State Senator?
Jeremy: I was born in India, but was raised in Rochester by a single mother. I ran for office because I think our community deserves representation in Albany focused on making a difference in the lives of children and families that call our community home. This community gave me so many opportunities, and I want to pay it forward and help build brighter futures for the next generation of Rochestarians.
Talker: What is your previous experience with softball and or baseball?
Jeremy: I played Little League growing up. Somewhat ironically, we were the "Jeremiahs" (named for our bar sponsor).
Talker: Do you have a favorite baseball team?
Jeremy: My favorite baseball team is (of course) the Rochester Red Wings! Prior to being elected to the Senate, I had a years-long streak of attending Opening Day. Of course with the Legislative Session in Albany, I haven't been able to continue that tradition, but my wife and I still spend many summer nights at Frontier Field, which is in the district I represent!
Talker: I know you are proud of your East Asian heritage. Are you a cricket fan? If so, have you ever been to the pick up cricket matches at the Brighton High School baseball diamond?
Jeremy: I have not joined the pickup game, BUT I am very supportive of cricket in our community. Last year, we helped pass legislation to increase cricket education across New York State. I also hosted the first "Senator's Cup," a local cricket tournament and cultural celebration featuring teams from Rochester, Buffalo, and Albany.

Ringu Dreamworks (US) DVD Release
M Arnold ma_iku
Tue Mar 11 19:44:37 EST 2003
Previous message: OOPS!
Next message: Fwd: The 10 Western films that have affected Japan the most.
Regarding the Romanization of the original film's Japanese title for
research, databases, libraries or even more casual use, Ringu is obviously
correct, and I agree with Aaron's comments about preserving the closest
approximation to the original Japanese without misleading 'corrections.'
I've certainly been frustrated and confused by changes like these when
searching for Japanese films before.  In fact, when it comes down to it, I
don't fully trust romaji either--you can't tell from a properly Romanized
title if the original title is (or which parts of the title are) kanji,
katakana, hiragana, or something else, and these are often essential details
when trying to track down a Japanese film.
However, the title on the film's U.S. DVD release seems to be a slightly
different issue, as the priority there arguably isn't to retain the true
original title or use correct romanization. The Verbinski remake is "The
Ring," but the title on the U.S. release of the Nakata's film is spelled
"Ringu."  For me, this is a bit jarring. Taking a brief look over other
recent English language market releases of Japanese films that have
English/Katakana titles, "Odishon" is generally rendered as Audition,
"Batoru rowaiyaru" is Battle Royale, "Deddo oa araibu" is Dead or Alive, and
so on.  So why was the Ringu title Romanized but not translated?  That's
the question I'm left with. The only other Japanese film titles I can think
of that are left in Romanized form for English-language release are ones
with Japanese words only (Uzumaki, K(w)aidan, Onibaba, etc).
Of course Ringu in romaji looks so close to Ring that most English speakers
will figure it out, but that might be a part of what I find so weird.  I
think for your average American who casually picks this up at the local
Blockbuster, it probably appears to be an English word miswritten with a
"funny-sounding" Asian accent--"Rin-goo"--instead of an accurate romaji
rendition of a Japanese word.
Michael Arnold


One of the things that's stretched me, in the best of ways, as a creative Mama is embracing process over product. In the classroom process was my favorite part, but it was essential that it was product-informed process. (At least most of the time.) Now I'm learning that Billy's not only okay with not having a product, he sometimes even prefers it that way. He's known to draw all over a piece of paper, crumble it up, rip it into shreds, chew on a few pieces for good measure, and call it a day. Never having experienced art with toddlers pre-parenting, this was a bit bewildering at first- and still is at times. But all of us are learning together.
One of our latest invitations to create included paper towels, markers, and water. Knowing there definitely wouldn't be a product after, I made sure to keep my camera handy to capture the artful moments! At first the kiddos- Billy, Isia & a little friend- drew on their paper towels, which were taped to the table. Then I introduced water and paintbrushes.
I offered them a variety of brushes, including these Melissa & Doug Jumbo Paint Brushes that we've had since Isia was a baby. She loved them, and they're still a favorite for all the little hands around here.
...until their masterpieces lay in beautiful ruins. Billy was the last one to stop working on his. He ripped it a few more times for good measure before he declared it "all done" and got down from the table to knock over some towers.
I've been realizing that experiments in process are not only a great exercise for them, but something I could benefit from too. How often do I just play around with paint? Or sew fabric scraps together just to see what happens? Limited by time, my creations are usually pre-designed in my head before I even sit down to begin working on them. And while there is a place for that- otherwise nothing would ever get finished- it's also important to embrace the process, the play that goes along with creating. Yes, we keep learning together- it's a lot more fun that way!

HomeGas Detector NewsNew SOLAS Regulation By IMO Mandates
New SOLAS Regulation By IMO Mandates
by GDS Team | Apr 19, 2016 | Gas Detector News
The International Maritime Organization has recently issued new SOLAS regulations to improve safety on board ships on international travel. The regulation mandates having a four gas detector on ships for early detection of flammable gases on board the ships. Gas sensor manufacturers and gas detection companies are likely to benefit from the new rules as they can expect more orders for their products. Read this article to learn more about the new regulations and its wide ranging implications.
New Regulation Mandates Having A Four Gas Detector Onboard Ships On International Voyages
Ship operators will need to comply with this regulation, which comes into force on July 1st of this year. This is one positive step towards ensuring safety of those sailing in ships that undertake international voyages.
According to a recent article:
"The new regulation, coming into force on 1 July 2016, requires all ships engaged in international voyages to have at least one unit capable of detecting the presence of oxygen, flammable gases or vapours, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulphide."
It is also important to remember that the batteries and sensor need to be replaced after a period of 30 months to maintain smooth functioning. It is a good idea for operators to work closely with a gas detection company to comply with the regulations, as they are bound to change. With a growing emphasis on safety, regulatory bodies will likely review the safety guidelines and keep issuing new rules to prevent casualties.
Detection Units Need To Be Bump Tested Before Using Them In Enclosed Spaces
It is important to note that installation of gas detection systems is not sufficient to ensure safety of crew on ship. The detection units need to be bump tested to ensure they are working properly and can detect gases in time.
Care must be taken to establish a routine of inspection, testing and maintenance. The usage of gas detection units should be made mandatory for those entering enclosed spaces in ships. This will help in preventing the ship crew from getting overcome by toxic gases and raise an alarm if the presence of a toxic gas has exceeded the normal limits. The ship crew will be able to escape to safety and do their work safely.
According to a recent news article:
"Most importantly of all, Sheriff notes, the detection units have to be used by individuals entering enclosed spaces or tanks, not forgotten in a drawer. Next, they must be visually inspected regularly, the batteries charged, and the units 'bump tested' before use. So, an on-board routine needs to be established whereby the crew satisfy these demands."
This article explains in detail about the new SOLAS regulation issued by the IMO for ship operators. The safety concerns onboard ships need to be addressed to prevent casualties due to the accumulation of toxic gases in enclosed spaces.

Wolves Of Kultur
Norton Herrick Center for Motion Picture Studies > Serial > Wolves Of Kultur
2219. WOLVES OF KULTUR (1918-USA). 7 Episode Pathe Serial. With LEAH BAIRD, CHARLES HUTCHISON. Hutchison was an actor and amateur athlete who captivated chapter play audiences with this his very first serial, the success of which resulted in his becoming an instant star. The heroÂine of the adventure is Alice Grayson (played by beautiful Leah Baird, a star of early silent films who later went on to become a screenwriter.) Alice is the niece of Mason, who has just invented a wireÂless torpedo. Mason discusses the torpedo with associates, not knowing that among them are traitors to America. Mason wants to offer his invention to his government. Yet there are those who would prefer that it be sold for profit to a European power. The villains Hartman (a man "who would not shrink from a crime to satisfy his desire for riches") and Zaremba promptly kill Mason and steal the inventor's blueprints and torpedo model. It will be up to Alice and young mining engineer Bob Moore (played in lively fashion by Hutchison) to recover what has been purloined and bring the vilÂlains to justice. Unknown to Bob and Alice, two others also become involved in the case. They are none other than his sister Helen and her employer, detective and scholar Roger Barclay. The action soon comes fast and furious as Hutchison shows why he was to come to be known as "The Thrill-a- Minute Stunt King." "Silent" film with music score. 168 minutes. ÒSilentÓ Serial

Passion Distribution is happy to announce sales on a host of new and exciting shows and formats from Mentorn Media. Famed for its great shows, such as AN IDIOT ABROAD, PARADISE HOTEL and WORST DRIVER, Mentorn's programming continues to prove popular with buyers around the world.

In exclusive interviews with BBC Three's Free Speech the Deputy Prime Minister and the Leader of the Opposition have spoken up on voter apathy and engaging young people.
To be broadcast from Westminster Hall tonight at 8pm, as part of a discussion on voter engagement, Nick Clegg described his frustration at the archaic and macho language used in Westminster.
"I think there are lots of people, of all generations who look at the kind of Yaboo macho language of Westminster and just think the whole thing is like a different species, yelling at each other across the gangway in Westminster.
The programme which will broadcast live from Parliament also sees Ed Miliband discussing his views on the much discussed topic of young people voting. He calls for the voting age to be lowered and admits that politics is not considered fashionable.
Tonight's edition of Free Speech will be hosted from inside the Houses of Parliament as part of Parliament Week. The programme, hosted by Rick Edwards, sees panellists including Labour and Co-operative MP for Walthamstow Stella Creasy, and Conservative MP for North East Somerset, Jacob Rees-Mogg, discuss topics including long term unemployment and overseas aid, as they face questions from the audience of 18-30 year-olds.


Two parts. The first: what would be involved in creating a few other promotion styles such as bold title text or colored background (not just the top list option). The other is, what would be involved in making it so that category has a listing fee. Most would be free but a few (such as vehicles or real estate) would have a nominal fee to list it.
Thank you. I actually noticed the description block allows for bold and underline so that is not as much an issue. However, I will contact you about being able to add a field for listing fee by category. The default would be free but in some instances I would like to be able to assign a fee. After the add is submitted and the Top Ad option is presented, the liter should see the charge for the category fee and be able to use Paypal to pay the fee just as the Top Ad process works. When paid, the ad will list.

For anyone working in a Call Centre environment the headset is your best friend. Call centre workers are paid to spend unfathomable amounts of time or the day (or night) on the phone.
In these busy, noisy and sometimes stressful workplaces it is imperative that the most used piece of equipment perfectly complements your business practices, your ergonomics, your personality and your style. This means that you need a useful, comfortable, durable, versatile and aesthetically pleasing headset which delivers good audio quality.
Now, there are many headset manufacturers out there producing really high quality headsets which can make your job all the easier, make you more productive, increase efficiency and just make you more happy in your workplace.
Here we look at our Top Ten Headsets for Call Centres based upon our experience and your feedback. Whilst this is primarily aimed at the user themselves the person responsible for actually providing the headsets will have the final say in most cases. Hence, as in many situations in life - if you don't ask you don't get - so if you are dissatisfied with your headset - tell someone.
Of course some people may have their personal favourites, if we have missed any special ones please tweet us at @best4systems with your thoughts.
The CC550 headset from Sennheiser is a Binaural set of headphones, with an ultra noise cancelling microphone which cuts out background noise allowing the operator to concentrate fully on the conversation in hand. The Active Guard technology protects the wearer from loud noises and the large and comfortable leatherette pads make these a real joy to wear.
The Plantronics HW261N headset is the first of our headsets from the big daddy of business headsets. Plantronics have an unrivalled pedigree, having had their headsets used in every one of NASA's space missions to date. The 261N has long been a favourite amongst call centre workers due to their ease of use, comfort and brilliant audio capabilities with Wideband Audio for richness of sound and noise cancelling for protection. These headsets are also famed for their durability; meaning a lower total cost of ownership for the call centre procurer.
The Plantronics HW251N headset is our choice of Plantronics' best monaural headset for call centre staff. The noise cancelling microphone is perfect for a busy workplace as it actively cuts out background sound - it connects via a DA45 adapter to IP softphones and other communications platforms.
The Sennheiser Century SC 660 Has been hailed as the ultimate call centre headset. Sennheiser are renowned for their high quality and attention to detail so anyone buying a SC660 can be assured that this will fit the bill in all ways. Sennheiser's patented ActiveGuard™ offers high acoustic protection, the sound is just amazing and the cables are even protected with Kevlar casing. These are not cheap headsets but you are buying top end products when you buy Sennheiser.
The Jabra Biz 2400 is an award winning and top of the range headset which is built with gold contacts, surgical steel and Kevlar. Apart from being beautifully made and giving high levels of comfort, sound and protection this headset is convertible to account for differing wearing styles - behind the head, over the head ( normal ) and over the ear - this sort of touch can be great for anyone who wears a headset all day at work. Although most business call centre operators will prefer a binaural headset there are environments where a monaural headset can be preferable.
The Jabra Biz 2300 headset has been specifically designed for the call centre operator with quick disconnect and a 360° boom arm with a Kevlar cord. It boasts extremely comfortable leatherette foam ear cushions and simple to use controls on the cord which allow you to answer and end callas as well as adjusting the volume or muting the conversation. This headset won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in 2014 as well as the IF Product Design Award. Needless to say this is a top of the range headset, compatible with all leading telephone systems and giving a superb user experience.
The Avalle AV601N is one of our monaural choices for the call centre professional as it performs so well in that environment. Like other models from Avalle it matches the premium labels for quality of build and performance whilst being at a far lower cost. This model has noise cancelling as standard as well as wideband audio and an adjustable boom microphone. It gives a very good sound quality and is extremely comfortable.
The Defero headset from the Avalle stable is designed and manufactured in the UK and represents a very low cost alternative to the more 'established' manufacturers. It is available with a standard headset lead as well as USB making it perfect for the professional using a Lync or Unified Communications system. The quick disconnect gives the operator the freedom to leave their desk space without having to remove the headset.
The Avalle Verso headset is, most certainly what can only be classed as a ground breaking concept in headset design. The Verso has all the quality and design finish of the models above but can be quickly and easily converted from binaural to monaural and back. This means that a single operator can own two headsets in one and interchange wearing styles dependent upon the conditions. This is all sold as a single unit.

Limerick crash victim Shane Stokes remembered by councillors
Shane Stokes, who tragically died over Christmas
METROPOLITAN district councillors in Limerick this week paid tribute to Shane Stokes, Lisnagry, who was tragically killed in a British road accident over Christmas.
Shane was laid to rest following a funeral Mass in Milford Church this Monday, with a moment silence observed in the chamber in his memory.
Local councillor Marian Hurley of Fine Gael said: "He was a fine young man. His former classmates at Castletroy College had such a lot of time for him. He was a complete gentleman."
Cllr Joe Pond, whose son knew the 29-year-old, added: "He came from a lovely family and it's devastating to think a young lad could be caught up over Christmas."
Fianna Fail councillor Vivienne Crowley, who also knew Shane through her sister, also paid tribute.
The three members left this month's metropolitan district meeting early in order to attend the funeral.
Shane died in a road crash in the English midlands on December 23, the night before he was due to fly back to Shannon for Christmas.
He is survived by parents Gerry and Veronica, brother Brian, sister Sarah, partner Ashley, grandmother Kathleen, aunts, uncles, cousins, relatives and a large circle of friends.
He was laid to rest in Kilmurry Cemetery, Castletroy.

Pac-Rat: 10-Liner Game for itchi.io Game Jam 2021
I have another game for the ASCII Basic 10Liner programming Jam. It's also inspired by the APF Imagination Machine. Since that early 8-bit computer/game system it shares the same video chip as the MC-10 (and the Coco and Dragon), it is a good place to look for inspiration for game ideas. The original was a two player game, with each player using their paddles to steer their "rat" through a maze to get to the cheese first. I thought it might be possible to get a very concise AI to play against. But the 72 character line limit was just a wee bit too confining to get that in along with the maze and human player with movement. In the end I settled for a simple game of collecting cheeses as quickly as possible. They only stay in place a brief time, so you have to plan the quickest and most efficient routes to get to them before they disappear. You get 30 cheeses, so that's your highest possible score.
The following is a video of the APF game. It's a little slower in its movement. It didn't take as much back in the 70s to impress. The playing board is just made up of solid color characters from the character set above 128.
The game can be played from my website. Just select the "PACRAT" from the cassette menu. Then type RUN and hit <Enter>

Defender: 10-Liner Game for itchi.io Game Jam 2021


This article will similar to the Cardinals article from the other day. Last season, the Jets were a pretty poor team, as they ranked 29th in total offense with 4,787 yards. However, the Jets put up more points than that rank would project, as they ranked 23rd in points in 2018, with 333 points good for 20.8 points per game. On defense, the Jets faired slightly better than the offense as they ranked 25th, but they allowed they allowed the 29th most points on defense at 441, good for 27.6 points per game. Similar to the first two articles of this series the Jets were a bad team in 2018. There is definitely some bright spots on the Jets team heading into 2019. Similar to the Cardinals, the Jets have a new coaching staff, headed by former Miami HC, Adam Gase, who is known for his offensive impact on QBs. Therefore, I'm expecting a pretty significant improvement from QB Sam Darnold and as a result, an improvement from the WRs, Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa, as well as TE, Chris Herndon.
Now I'll get into the Jets QB, Sam Darnold, WRs, Robby Anderson and Quincy Enunwa, and TE, Chris Herndon. I will not get into any of the Jets RBs because I doubt any of the RBs on the roster currently to be the starter for 2019 and thus won't have any fantasy value.
Darnold had a very up and down rookie season, that saw him dominate the Lions in the first game of the season, although his fantasy performance wasn't incredible. He then went on to have an okay first half of the season with some very poor games mixed in. Darnold then got hurt in week 9 this season, and missed a few games before returning and being one of the best QBs for the last quarter of the season. Overall, Darnold finished as the 27th best QB in fantasy with 168.4 points in 13 games. He had 2,865 yards and 17 TDs with 15 INTs, not great but not awful. Although the end of his season was phenomenal, over the last 4 games he averaged 16.23 fantasy points per game which over a full season would be around 260 points, which would have put Darnold as a mid-tier QB around 15-16. I expect huge things from Darnold in 2019, somewhere in the ballpark of 4,000-4,250 yards and 25TDs with around 12-15 INTs. This would be good for around 250 fantasy points.
Anderson was the biggest beneficiary of the improvement Darnold saw towards the end of the 2018 season. Anderson finished as the 37th ranked WR in half ppr scoring. Anderson's season was very up and down with a lot more downs until week 14 where he saw 39 targets over the final four games. I'm expecting Anderson to be somewhere in the middle of his poor beginning of the season and strong finish. I'd expect him to have around 55-70 receptions for around 1,000 yards and 6-8TDs. Anderson won't be a stud WR in fantasy next season, but can certainly be valuable later in drafts.
Enunwa was Darnold's security blanket in the beginning of the 2018 season, while he was healthy. Enunwa saw 42 targets over his first 5 games this season which he converted into 21 targets for 278 yards and just 1TD. This would be Enunwa's only TD of the season, which was plagued with injuries for much of the remainder. For 2019, I would expect Enunwa to continue to be Darnold's security blanket, but won't see 8+ targets per game like he did at the beginning of 2018. For 2019, I would expect around 65-75 receptions for 800-1,000 yards and 4-5 TDs. The Jets just signed Enunwa to a 4-year extension so they believe in him, however; I don't believe in him in fantasy for 2019.
Herndon was quietly a very good fantasy TE in 2018. Herndon finished the final 10 weeks of 2018 as the 7th best TE over that stretch. If his arrest in 2018 doesn't keep him off the field in 2019 expect similar results or better from Herndon. I'd expect him to have around 55-65 receptions for 700-800 yards and 6-8TDs. Good enough for a top 10 TE in 2019. He will be undervalued in 2019 make sure to look out for him later in drafts.
