Meet our Police Station's New Captain Jack Hart
REPRINTED FROM INGLESIDE-EXCELSIOR LIGHT
On Oct. 21, Jack Hart, an 18-year member of the San Francisco Police Department took over Ingleside Police Station, the second largest district in the city. We talked with Capt. Hart about his background, his first month in charge and the challenges he expects to face.
What is your background with the San Francisco Police Department?
My great-grandfather, Charles W. King, was a streetcar driver going up and down Market Street. He and his wife, Georgia King had their first son right around April 1906. When the Great Quake hit on April 18, the hospital they were in collapsed and [King] joined the Police Department immediately. His star number was 596, the same star number I wear. He served for 25 years and was hit and killed by a drunk driver while acting as a crossing guard for school kids on Alemany Boulevard in 1931, which is in the Ingleside Police Station District.
My father grew up on Jersey Street, which is in the Ingleside District. I grew up in Diamond Heights and I currently live on Flood Street in Sunnyside, which are both in the Ingleside District. Generations of my family have lived in the Ingleside District and yet I have never policed the area because I have worked at four of the other stations: Southern, Tenderloin, Mission and Bayview-Hunters Point. Those were my main patrol assignments.
I'm also an attorney, so I spent several years in our legal office acting as an attorney on behalf of the Police Department in civil, criminal, state and federal courts. As a sergeant-lieutenant I was in charge of Candlestick Park. I managed an NFC Championship game in 2012 against the Giants. I had 210 cops working for me and we were policing 70,000 people in the pouring rain.
I joined the department in June 1999, so I'm relatively new in the department but I have a lot of family experience. I was a Police Cadet with the Police Activities League when I was 14. With all of those connections, it's not just a professional accomplishment to be the captain of Ingleside Station, it's also a personal mission because I'm so connected to this district. I want this place to be great too.
How have you spent your first month on the job?
I've spent the entire month trying to figure out the cops, the community and the crime –– and not necessarily in that order. As an instructor in the San Francisco Police Academy, I've taught about 52 recruit classes about constitutional law, criminal law and so on. Since our department is very young –– about 70 percent of our department has less than five years on the job –– I know all of them or at least they all know me because I was one of their instructors in the academy. Since I already knew them, it didn't take long to get up to speed with all of them.
I've probably been to about 30 community meetings so far. It's been great because everyone is so motivated to fix these neighborhood issues. I'd be really concerned if there were only three or four people showing up to these meetings, but most of them have 30 or 40, which is great. Even if they're yelling at me, it shows me they care.
What are some of the unique features of Ingleside Station and what do you think will be some of the biggest challenges?
One of the challenges of the Ingleside is that it's a big district. I think we're about 25 percent of the city, about the size of Daly City with the population of Daly City, basically shoved into one police district. It's a lot of real estate to cover and there are a lot of streets that stop and start and are winding streets. All of that creates this challenge that we are really relient on our police cars to cover the distance, which kind of sucks, to be frank.
In the Tenderloin District at least there's a flat topography. It's a densely-populated area, but at least you can kind of cover it on foot. In Ingleside, our challenge is that our cops are all in their cars. They put an average of 50-60 miles a day on the car.
One of the challenges is getting officers out of their cars to engage on a block-by-block basis so that they can understand the unique challenges and strengths of each neighborhood. Especially in areas that have violence issues like Visitacion Valley in the Sunnydale neighborhoods. We're spending a lot of time down there and other neighborhoods are not necessarily getting the same investment on a day-to-day basis.
The biggest challenge is that we need more cops. We're probably a good 25 to 30 cops short of where we should be in terms of all our responsibilities and all the things we need. Besides having more cops, it's important to make space for our cops to understand how important it is to get out of their cars and talk to people when they get the chance to do so.
What was your motivation for going to law school?
I initially went to law school because the police department wasn't hiring. I graduated from Santa Clara University with a bachelor's degree and the department wasn't hiring yet. So I thought to myself, 'What could I do with this time to make it meaningful?' So I applied to law school and got into University of San Francisco. I'm so glad that I did. Education is hugely important in policing these days because we're expected to be so much and know so much. There's 20-20 hindsight on what we should have done, so we have to know what we're doing. So I'm glad that I went to law school and passed the BAR exam, and I love it that officers still call me at 3 in the morning with questions about how we should handle a particular case. I think we want to be more informed as officers and want to get it right, and that law degree helps to facilitate that.
Please Note: NMTIA maintains a "good neighbor" policy in our online presence. We have a fantastic community with a variety of perspectives, beliefs, and feelings about many topics. We believe that differing opinions should not interfere with being good neighbors to each other. We encourage civility and mutual respect, and we remove any posts or comments that are belittling, show hostility, or are discriminatory in nature.

UPDATE: Ru Paul took to Twitter to thank everyone for their well wishes after the news that he had secretly tied the knot was revealed.He wrote the following message: "Thank you all for the love & kindness.'I cry not for myself, but for those who never felt the joy we felt'~The Supremes 'I Hear A Symphony.'" Congratulations once again! Ru Paul confirmed Wednesday that he married his longtime partner, Georges Le Bar, in January."I've never said this on television before: we .The television personality and his boyfriend met on the dance floor at NYC's famous former club, The Limelight, in 1994 on Georges' birthday.With a personality as over-the-top as Ru Paul's, the last place you might expect him to be settling down is Wyoming, the least populous state in the nation.(About as many people live there as on Staten Island.) But it's true: Ru Paul has an on-again, off-again partner who lives on a ranch in Wyoming.That year, he received his own talk show on VH1, The Ru Paul Show, which ran for two seasons before he began co-hosting the morning radio show on WKTU with Michelle Visage.He has had continued success as a recording artist, releasing eleven studio albums to date, including Foxy Lady (1996), Champion (2009), Glamazon (2011), Born Naked (2014) and American (2017).
"He's so kind and funny," Ru Paul previously told Buzz Feed.
His name is Georges Le Bar, and they've been seeing each other for 23 years.
Related: Not everyone is happy about "Ru Paul's Drag Race" moving to VH1 on Friday nights The two were recently photographed enjoying a nice day in Manhattan, and it brings a sweet smile to our faces to see Mama Ru looking so happy and relaxed.
The Emmy-winning host publicly announced it to Ross Matthews and Amanda Salas on Hollywood Today Live on Wednesday (March 15), when the show's hosts asked about Ru Paul's low-profile relationship.
"He's a great guy — but you know, he doesn't care about show business at all.

Facing a beautiful scenery of green hills, the building features staggered terraces that extend the indoor living space to the mountain landscape, offering a connection with nature that brings a sense of fulfillment to daily life.
Built on a hillside, House S intentionally elevates the living space to provide privacy while offering a comfortable outdoor activity space for families. An undulating wall running through the building defines the exterior and interior, separating the public space from the private. Within the building, the wall encircles the master bedroom and children's room, forming the two main spaces, private and secure. Between the public and private spaces on each floor, three staggered terraces provide three different lifestyles and settings, enabling the owner and their children to retain their private spaces but also enjoy enriching interactions.
在山坡的地形上刻意將生活平面抬高創造出生活的隱私性同時也提供家庭一個舒適的戶外活動空間. 一道曲牆貫穿建築內外, 界定空間的內與外以及公與私, 在室內包覆出安定隱私的主臥房與小孩房, 形成外觀上兩個主要的量體. 同時也在公共與私密的各層空間中錯置三個屬性的露台, 提供三種不同的生活樣貌與場景. 讓業主與小孩都能在生活中各自擁有獨立私密空間的同時保有豐富的互動關係.


The Beckingham is a Victorian cast iron fire insert from Carron Fireplaces. This stunning eye catching fire insert has a large exterior frame and combined with it's smaller interior curve it frames the beautifully patterned arch.
The gas fire for the cast insert is a class 1 but we can get a class 2 fire if you need it. The reason most gas fires for this type of insert are class 1 is because of the depth, most cast inserts a very deep and as such are not always going to fit into a class 2 flue.
As for the hearth, yes it will need to go onto a hearth, mainly because it's going with a gas fire and building regulations state a hearth must be installed, this is in part for fire safety, but also to create a visible area around the fireplace for, if the property is sold people can see a clear area where a fireplace belongs.
We get asked this one a lot, cast iron inserts don't need a back panel they are effectively a back panel on their own. The overall size of the Beckingham is 970 x 970mm.
The gas fire unit slots into the cast once it's been installed.


I enter the room to Gene Kelly's Singing in the Rain (who I adore !) and the dentist starts a conversation about jazz, American musicals, the Triple Threats and the Rat Pack.
Anyway… all that conversation stopped my anxiety, I had almost forgotten why I was there !
But then of course he had me in the weird chair and my mouth open and BAM more fear … What was I to do ?
I have no idea what happened in my real mouth but in my day dreaming visualization, I could smell the tea, and the salty ocean and hear the waves … It was amazing, I was so happy and enjoying myself… When the dentist rose and said, "ok, we're done" I was dumbfounded.
My mind is blown by its own power here!
But WHY ON EARTH does it make more sense to be afraid for a long time (thus generally very unhappy) and then just "relieved" than to be hoping, planning, expecting the very best (thus being quite happy!) … maybe getting some disappointment some times around… ???
Maintained fear is a waste of energy. It drives love and happiness away. Let's stop it.
Now on a completely woo woo /spiritual point of view… some revelations too !
Then what really happened ? Well… problem solved. The kind dentist, using way too much anesthetic to prevent me feeling any pain whatsoever (we're 5 hours after and it's still numb!!) solved the problem, all the while checking with me every 2 minutes if it wasn't painful.
So ? Again, stop forecasting complications and difficulties … (me talking to myself again) and wait and see. And do not always expect long problems … sometimes problems, even big ones, can be solved quickly.
Plus regarding the actual relationship it's a good lesson too … If I'm not absolutely happy with a relationship, I do not have to "remove" it … Just the "rotten" part! So it's not an either or conversation… it's a work in progress conversation…just like my whole life!!
And of course sometimes it feels more "romantic" to rip the band-aid off … But it is generally painful and does not solve EVERYTHING AT ONCE.
I now believe in incremental change that gets me more and more in a pain free, rotten free, generally happier teeth and life situation.
Because the goal is in the path, as Buddha is supposed to have said.
Thus I feel grateful today.
And the pain free tooth fixing!
Sending, as always, love, light and gratitude to you, dear reader.

US Masters: Francesco Molinari halfway towards amazing change of clothing
Ian Poulter chips close for a birdie from the bank of Rae's Creek at the 13th at Augusta National (Picture: David J Phillip/AP).
Francesco Molinari, who had to wear a white boilersuit on his first visit to the Masters, heads into the weekend at Augusta National in prime position to claim a coveted green jacket.
The Italian added a second round of 67 to his opening 70 to share the early clubhouse lead with Australia's Jason Day on seven under par, with former world No 1 Dustin Johnson a shot behind and England's Ian Poulter one further back following a 71.
Italy's Francesco Molinari walks off the 17th green during his second round at the 2019 Masters (Picture: Charlie Riedel/AP).
Molinari's first experience of Augusta National was as a caddie for his brother in 2006 after Edoardo qualified by virtue of winning the US Amateur title the year before.
"I didn't learn much about the course because we were going sideways most of the time," Molinari joked in reference to Edoardo shooting rounds of 80 and 77 to miss the cut.
Molinari made his debut as a player in 2010 and recorded his best finish to date with a tie for 19th in 2012, but came into the event on the back of a stellar 12 months.
The 36-year-old has won four times since last year's Masters, including the Open Championship at Carnoustie, and he also became the first European player to earn a perfect 5-0 record in the Ryder Cup in Paris.
Beginning the day four shots off the lead, Molinari birdied the third, eighth and ninth to reach the turn in 33 and picked up further shots on the 12th and 15th before a superb two-putt from 75ft for par on the last.
"It was good, pretty solid, not many mistakes and when I missed greens I missed them on the good side, leaving myself pretty easy up and downs, so all in all a very good day," Molinari said.
"Now I'm just going to rest. The game is in good shape, so I don't think I can gain much from hitting balls. Just get as much energy as possible for the weekend. There's going to be a lot of players in the mix and a very long way to go."
Day had needed on-course treatment for a back injury during the first round, but completed an opening 70 and matched Molinari's 67 yesterday thanks to six birdies and a solitary bogey.
Poulter enjoyed a massive slice of luck when his approach to the 13th stuck in the bank of Rae's Creek and allowed him to chip and putt for an unlikely birdie.
Two birdies and one bogey in his first six holes took Tiger Woods to three under, but Rory McIlroy remained one over after covering the same stretch in level par. McIlroy's opening 73 had left the Northern Irishman in a tie for 44th place overnight and needing to defy the odds to complete the career grand slam as the last 13 Masters winners all enjoyed a place in the top 10 after the first round.
Overnight joint-leader Brooks Koepka made it a three-way tie for the lead with a rollercoaster round of 71. oepka made a flying start with a birdie on the first, double-bogeyed the second after failing to escape from the trees at the first attempt and made just three pars in an erratic front nine. However, the 28-year-old kept himself in contention for a remarkable fourth major victory in his last seven starts with birdies on the 15th and 18th.

Q: Using recursion to reverse a list in python? Is there an alternative way to reversing a list in python using recursion? Here is my code :
revList=[]
def reverseList(listXS):
    if(len(listXS)==1):
        revList.append(listXS[0])
    else:
        current=  listXS.pop()
        revList.append(current)
        reverseList(listXS)
    return revList

testList= ["mouse","dog","cat"]
print(testList)
print(reverseList(testList))

A: If you want an alternative recursive approach:
def reverseList(listXS):
    return [] if not listXS else [listXS.pop()] + reverseList(listXS)

Or slicing:
def reverseList(listXS):
    return [] if not listXS else listXS[-1:] + reverseList(listXS[:-1])

If you wanted an inplace solution:
def reverseList(listXS, i=1):
    if i == len(listXS) - 1:
        return
    listXS[i-1], listXS[-i] = listXS[-i], listXS[i-1]
    reverseList(listXS, i+1)

reversing the original list:
In [22]: l = [1, 2, 3, 4,5]
In [23]: reverseList(l)
In [24]: l
Out[24]: [5, 4, 3, 2, 1]
In [25]: l = [1, 2, 3, 4]
In [26]: reverseList(l)
In [27]: l
Out[27]: [4, 3, 2, 1]

A: There is a function for this:
>>> [1,2,3,4,5].reverse()
[5,4,3,2,1]

A: If you want to use recursion you can do it like this but it is basically implementing a for loop a different way
def rev(x,y=None):
    if y is None:
        y = []
    y.append(x.pop())
    if x:
        y = rev(x,y)
    return y

print rev([1,2,3,4,5],[])

[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

A: def rev_list(l):
    if not l:
        return []
    else:
        return l[-1:] + rev_list(l[:-1])

print(rev_list([1,2,3,4,5]))

[5, 4, 3, 2, 1]

Oasis Be Here Now 25th Anniversary
Be Here Now, Hated by many, Loved By More
Tyler Perry|September 29, 2022
On August 21st, 1997, the band Oasis released "Be Here Now" an album the fans were buzzing to hear, especially after the stunning albums that came before it. When the album was released, it instantly became the best-selling album because of the demand for Oasis. It wasn't until after hearing it did people start to realize it was a messy, drug, and ego-filled record. Even though it was not rated as highly as the other oasis albums it is still a solid album with good songs. Oasis is celebrating the 25th anniversary of "Be Here Now." They've released new a version of vinyl, Cds, cassettes, and eccentric clothing.

"eneloop" is the environmentally-conscious battery that "can be recharged 1000 times" and is "usable immediately after purchase." It completely overturns the conventional image of a battery with its clean simple white body and clear see-through package made of recycled PET, which can be used continuously to store the batteries. Clear blue was selected for the package color to express the image of the earth that gently developes all lives and energy on it. Based on the concept of a "No-throwaway," fashion and sensation have been incorporated into this battery, which distinguishes it from the common emphasis on power and stamina.

Matías Ezequiel Zaldivia (San Isidro, Argentina, 22 de enero de 1991) es un futbolista profesional argentino nacionalizado chileno, que se desempeña como defensor central y su club actual es el Universidad de Chile de la Primera División de Chile.

Trayectoria

Chacarita Juniors
Formado en las divisiones menores de Chacarita Juniors, debutó profesionalmente el 22 de octubre de 2010, por la Primera B Nacional de Argentina, en la derrota 0-1 de su equipo en condición de local ante CAI, siendo titular con tan solo 19 años.

Chacarita Juniors tuvo una mala temporada en la Primera División 2009-10, descendiendo a Primera B Nacional, segunda categoría del fútbol argentino. Ya en segunda división, y en su primera temporada como profesional, disputó 18 partidos durante la Primera B Nacional 2010-11, siendo titular en 16 de estos duelos, jugando un total de 1425 minutos. Al finalizar la temporada, su equipo terminó en la 16.ª posición, con 44 puntos en 38 compromisos.

La Primera B Nacional 2011-12 sería aún peor, ya que, lamentablemente, Chacarita Juniors terminó en la última posición con 38 puntos, descendiendo así a tercera división. En dicho certamen, el jugador estuvo presente en 27 partidos, 26 de ellos como titular, más otros 4 duelos jugados por Copa Argentina.

Tras ser uno de los pocos jugadores destacados en la triste campaña de su equipo, es contratado por Arsenal de Sarandí, actual campeón de la Primera División, en agosto de 2012.

Arsenal de Sarandí
En su estadía en el club se consagró campeón de la Copa Argentina 2012-13 y de la Supercopa Argentina 2012. Además, disputó la Copa Libertadores 2014 y la Copa Sudamericana 2015.

Durante el año 2014 no sumó muchos minutos. Sin embargo, poco a poco fue ganándose la confianza de Martín Palermo, director técnico de Arsenal, y con buenas actuaciones se convirtió en una alternativa en la oncena titular, tanto en el centro del campo de juego, como en la zaga. Luego gracias a notables actuaciones toman contacto desde el otro lado de la cordillera para reforzar la defensa de Colo-Colo.

Colo-Colo
El 21 de julio del 2015 se confirma su fichaje por Colo-Colo de la Primera División de Chile, siendo presentado oficialmente al día siguiente, llegando desde el Arsenal de Sarandí cedido por todo 2015 por un año con opción de compra.

2015

Su debut se produjo el 02 de agosto, en un partido válido por la 4° fecha del Clausura 2016, que enfrentó a Deportes Iquique y Colo-Colo en el Estadio Tierra de Campeones, en el cual ingresó a los 65' de juego en reemplazo de Martín Rodríguez, y que finalizaría con un empate 0 a 0.

El 18 de febrero los albos debutaban en la Copa Libertadores 2016 enfrentando a Independiente del Valle en Sangolqui, empate 0-0 y jugó los 90 minutos. Anotó su primer gol el 6 de marzo, por la jornada 8 del mismo campeonato, en el clásico ante Universidad Católica, el cual Colo-Colo ganó por 3-0. El 20 de marzo jugaba su primer clásico del fútbol chileno enfrentando a la Universidad de Chile en el Estadio Nacional, en un empate 0-0. El 14 de abril los albos quedarían eliminados de la Copa Libertadores 2016 tras empatar en la última en el Estadio Monumental con Independiente del Valle 0-0 y quedando nuevamente en fase de grupos, jugó 4 partidos en esa competición internacional. En el Clausura 2016 los albos terminaron segundos y jugó 11 partidos y anotó 1 gol.

El 21 de agosto anotó un gol en el empate 2-2 frente a Huachipato por el Apertura 2016, el 26 de agosto sería expulsado en la derrota por 0-2 frente a Deportes Iquique, recibiendo una fecha de castigo y perdiéndose el duelo ante Antofagasta. El 2 de octubre de 2016 se jugaba el derbi N°180 del clásico del fútbol chileno, los albos vencerían por 2-0 a la U en el Estadio Monumental y alargarían a 16 años sin perder ante el archi-rival en el monumental. El 14 de diciembre obtiene la Copa Chile 2016 con el conjunto albo, título que el equipo no conseguía desde 1996, tras golear por 4-0 a Everton en la final. En el Apertura 2016 jugó 13 partidos y anotó 1 gol, mientras que por la Copa Chile jugó 9 encuentros y ganó su primer título con el club, en el primer semestre de la Temporada 2016-2017 jugó 22 partidos y marco 1 diana.

2017
El 1 de febrero de 2017, en el partido de ida de la segunda fase de la Copa Libertadores 2017, disputado en el Estadio Nilton Santos de Río de Janeiro entre Botafogo y Colo-Colo (los albos caerían 2-1 en Brasil y empatarían 1-1 en Chile), el jugador tuvo que ser reemplazado a los 18 minutos por Gonzalo Fierro tras sufrir la rotura completa aguda de ligamento cruzado anterior y la lesión de cuerno posterior de menisco interno, lo cual lo tendrá durante 6 meses alejado de las canchas, no siendo inscrito para disputar el Clausura 2017 con el conjunto albo.

En julio de 2017, mientras estaba lesionado Colo-Colo compró el 50% del pase restante que le quedaba a Arsenal en 250 mil dólares, por ende los albos se quedaron con el 100% de su pase, además el argentino renovó por cuatro años hasta 2021.

Luego de seis meses de recuperación, el 2 de agosto de 2017 volvió a ser convocado por Pablo Guede para el partido ante Deportes La Serena válido por la vuelta de la primera fase de la Copa Chile 2017, en donde Colo-Colo goleó 4 a 0, remontando un 4 a 1 en contra de la ida, avanzando de ronda. Sin embargo, el jugador vio todo el encuentro desde el banco de suplentes. Cuatro días más tarde, se produjo su anhelado retorno a las canchas, enfrentando a O'Higgins por la 2° fecha del Torneo de Transición en el Estadio El Teniente de Rancagua, encuentro en el que fue titular y disputó los 90', cumpliendo una correcta actuación como líbero por la banda derecha, y donde Colo-Colo se llevó una victoria 3 a 1 con goles de Jaime Valdés, Fernando Meza y Jorge Valdivia.

El 27 de agosto se jugaba el Superclásico 182 entre albos y azules en el Monumental, los albos vencieron por 4-1 a la "U" y jugó todo el encuentro como líbero por derecha cumpliendo una gran actuación como el resto de su compañeros, además Colo-Colo estiraba a 16 años sin conocer derrotas ante el archi-rrival de local.

El 3 de septiembre, por los octavos de final vuelta de la Copa Chile 2017 Colo Colo caería eliminado ante el modesto Deportes Iberia por 2-0 en el Monumental (5-2 a favor de los blaugrana), en dicho partido Zaldivia volvió a jugar como líbero por derecha y sufrió una expulsión al minuto 90+1', el 28 de octubre Colo Colo seguía a la caza de los punteros enfrentado a Deportes Temuco en el Estadio Germán Becker de Temuco por la fecha 12 del Transición 2017 los albos cederían terreno en el torneo y caerían por 1-0 ante los sureños con gol de penal de Cris Martínez, en aquella tarde fue expulsado por doble amarilla al minuto 81' tras cometer una infracción dentro del área (posterior penal y gol de Temuco), además de Matias, Benjamín Berríos y Esteban Paredes también fueron expulsados.

El 3 de diciembre por la antepenúltima fecha del torneo nacional, Colo Colo, la Unión y la "U" jugaban en simultáneo por el título si los albos ganaban en casa y la Unión y la U perdían se consagraban campeones, en un monumental repleto Colo Colo tuvo que sufrir más de la cuenta para vencer 3-2 al equipo que estaba luchando por no descender Curicó Unido, Zaldivia anotó el 2-1 de cabeza al 48' haciendo estallar al monumental, además Octavio Rivero y Esteban Paredes anotaron los goles del triunfo, también ese fue el primer gol de argentino desde su lesión en los ligamentos, por otro lado la Unión y la U ganaron por lo que todo tuvo que definirse en la última fecha, una semana después el 9 de diciembre se jugaba la última y decisiva fecha del Transición 2017 nuevamente Colo Colo, la Unión y la U jugaban en simultáneo esta vez sí los "albos" ganaban se titulaban campeones, en el Estadio Alcaldesa Ester Roa Rebolledo de Concepción en el sur los albos golearon por 3-0 a Huachipato con goles de Valdés (penal), Rivero y Orellana bajando su estrella 32 de su historia.

Jugó 11 de los 15 partidos por el Torneo de Transición anotando 1 gol y siempre jugando como líbero por derecha, junto a Julio Barroso (líbero) y Fernando Meza (líbero por izquierda) lograron ser la defensa menos batida del torneo, mientras que por la Copa Chile 2017 jugó un solo encuentro. Además en la temporada 2017 conquistó la Supercopa de Chile 2017 y el Torneo de Transición 2017.

by Axfood, one of Sweden's largest food retailers.
Axfood is Sweden's second largest food retailer, with brands such as Willys, Hemköp, Mat.se and Urban Deli. Their vision is to be the top leader in sustainable food whose quality is unparalleled. They enlisted Snask to design their sustainable project #Mat2030 ( in English, "#Food2030"). It's a future-forward initiative that promotes a collaborative effort between consumers, businesses, and politicians to work together to ensure sustainability. Furthermore, it's especially critical that politicians and decision-makers engage in effective and long-term cooperation with the business sector to support new forms of innovation and social structure that is necessary to ensure a more sustainable bag of groceries that's responsible to the Earth's ecology systems.
We began creating the identity with the hashtag, to support the social media platform this campaign would thrive in. The initiative's logo, colors, and typography we built from scratch. And while your parents say to never play with your food, this project for us was certainly the exception to that rule. We selected carved wood for the "#MAT" to communicate the care and natural elements that go into Axfood products. After that, we used groceries from the story pillars of Ecological, Swedish, Vegetarian, and Frozen to create headlines that would be utilized in both the social media campaign as well as printed material. The end result was a feast for the eyes; a campaign built with love and by hand, the perfect catalyst for inspiring change. This initiative continues to be as relevant as ever. We were honored to be the secret spice in this effort to change people's behavior for a more sustainable food-future.


Sue Palmer is chair of Upstart Scotland, a charity campaigning for the introduction of a play-based kinder garten stage for all four to seven-year-old children in Scotland. They cite international research showing that children under the age of seven benefit from an educational approach that supports their all-round physical, emotional, social and cognitive development, rather than pushing them towards early academic achievement.
This year, the government has introduced standardised tests of literacy and numeracy, beginning at Primary 1 when children are four or five years old. Upstart believes assessment is an essential part of early years' teaching, but object to the use of national standardised tests of literacy and numeracy skills at too early a stage in children's education, and invite politicians and civil servants to complete this test in full.
In planning educational policy for Scotland, which of these two countries seems to provide the most effective model?
A - Finland (where formal schooling doesn't start till children are six or seven and there are no national exams until the end of secondary school) regularly comes top in international educational surveys. They also have high levels of childhood well-being.
B - England – where formal schooling starts at four or five and children sit national exams all through their school career – doesn't perform particularly well educationally and has shockingly low levels of childhood well-being. Mental health problems among children and young people are now spiralling out of control.
The lifestyle of Scottish children has grown increasingly sedentary over recent decades and they are now among the least active children in the world. Three-quarters of them spend less time outdoors each day than prisoners in Scottish gaols. As well as the problems this causes in terms of physical health, researchers have now linked it to long-term mental health issues. Which approach to early years education is more likely to improve the situation?
B - 'Schoolified' education from the age of four or five, mostly indoors with a very early emphasis on literacy and numeracy skills.
At the age of five, there is an attainment gap between Scottish children from poor families and those from wealthy families of thirteen months in vocabulary and ten months in problem solving skills. The disadvantaged children therefore find learning to read, write and calculate more difficult than their wealthier classmates. Which of the following approaches in Primary 1 is most likely to close the poverty-related attainment gap?
B - Tablet-based standardised tests of literacy and numeracy skills to collect data about children's progress.
Scotland's Curriculum for Excellence includes an 'Early Level' for children between the ages of three and six, based on the type of play-based pedagogy used in educationally successful countries (see Question 1 above). However, for a variety of reasons, the Early Level has not yet been implemented in the majority of Scottish primary schools. Which of the following would be most likely to ensure effective implementation of the Early Level?
B - Introducing standardised tests of literacy and numeracy skills in Primary 1 (a policy which, wherever it has been adopted, has led to narrowing of the early years curriculum; 'teaching to the test'; anxiety among teachers, children and parents; and increased teaching of literacy and numeracy skills in nurseries as well as primary schools).
There is currently considerable interest across Scotland in the evidence that Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) – such as violence, neglect and abuse – have adverse long-term results, including lower educational attainment, mid-life health issues and problems with relationships, and lower life expectancy. Several long-term studies, such as The Longevity Project and the High/Scope Perry Project have indicated that an early start on formal learning is probably an ACE.
So far, all the government ministers and civil servants who've sat this test ticked box (B) every time. Upstart has therefore started a 'Play Not Tests in Primary 1' campaign, to spread the word to parents about the (A) answers. If you agree, please join Upstart Scotland http://www.upstart.scot/downloads/ (it's free!) and help us fight for the best possible start to every Scottish child's educational career.

Fortune Brands Accelerates Its Global EHS and ESG Transformation with ProcessMAP's Software and Data Analytics
The cloud-delivered solutions from ProcessMAP will serve as the foundation for Fortune Brands' EHS and ESG data management system.
August 25, 2021 [Deerfield, IL, and Ft. Lauderdale, FL]: ProcessMAP Corporation, a leader in data-intelligence driven software solutions to empower customers to transform into a sustainable enterprise, announced today that Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc. (NYSE: FBHS), a Fortune 500 company, will drive the digital transformation of its global EHS and ESG initiatives by leveraging ProcessMAP's smart and actionable data-intelligence solutions.
Strategic Drivers for the Digital Transformation Initiative
FBHS has a stated objective to strive for zero safety incidents, minimize the impact of its operations on the environment, and further improve its ESG reporting. A centralized EHS data management system that can offer ACT (Accurate, Complete, and Timely) data intelligence, especially on mobile devices, is a key enabler to translate this vision into reality. FBHS adopted ProcessMAP's ESG and EHS platform in 2020 to realize this vision.
Additionally, the company also aims to achieve the following objectives:
Effectively track leading safety indicators like near-misses, observations, inspections, risk assessments, and on-time closure of CAPAs to have a material impact on lagging indicators like TRIR and LTIR.
Use intelligent automation to collect, track, record, normalize variations and errors, and further improve the reporting of EHS and ESG performance metrics to various internal and external stakeholders with complete confidence.
Proactively mitigate risks and drive compliance by enabling audits and inspections to be conducted over mobile devices. This is a key accelerator for the company's safety goals.
Drive transparency and accountability by assigning Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs), tracking on-time closure rates, and escalating issues in a seamless manner to avoid safety incidents.
Empower employees to become active stakeholders in driving EHS and ESG objectives through robust mobile apps that help with end-to-end workflows.
Drive strong user engagement and improved user experience with the EHS and ESG data management system through seamless integration with third-party systems, particularly the two-way dataflow integration with workers' compensation Third Party Administrators (TPAs).
Improve the metrics associated with avoiding Significant Injuries and Fatalities (SIFs).
Adopting ProcessMAP as a Long-term Partner to Drive Innovation and Digital Transformation
One of the key reasons for FBHS to replace its legacy EHS system with ProcessMAP's smart solutions is the ability of the ProcessMAP solutions to seamlessly scale along with the evolving and growing business requirements of the business. The integrated solutions ensure that FBHS has a single source of truth for all of their EHS and ESG performance metrics.
Additionally, ProcessMAP's Low-Code/ No-Code Application development Platform (LCAP), ProcessMAP Connected Workers Solutions, enables FBHS' EHS team to build and rapidly deploy mobile-ready apps for specific business workflows. The apps help provide last-mile connectivity of the centralized ESG/ EHS platform to specific business requirements.
"Fortune Brands began transitioning to the ProcessMAP platform in 2020. This decision was driven by our realization that we required a new, more robust web-based Environmental, Health and Safety (EH&S) data management platform," said Dennis McKinney, Sr. Director Corporate EHS and Global Citizenship at Fortune Brands Home & Security, Inc.
"ProcessMAP delivered on how we utilize, measure, and advance as an EHS organization. The team's responsiveness, the degree of customer service, and the demonstration of the platform's capability to grow along with our business needs give us the confidence that we selected a trustworthy long-term partner to realize our EHS and ESG objectives," he added.
"The steadfast commitment of Fortune Brands to ensuring the health and safety of its global workforce and operate as a sustainable enterprise by minimizing their impact on the environment is an example of visionary leadership. ProcessMAP is proud to partner with Fortune Brands on this digital transformation initiative and offer a comprehensive and highly scalable suite of EHS and ESG solutions to translate its vision into reality," said Kevin Richards, EHS Director at ProcessMAP's Global Center of Excellence (CoE).

What's more, while mobile was certainly on the tip of many tongues, it turned out attribution was the topic we ended up discussing the most. Maybe that's because we officially launched our Media Manager product and it was great to show off our universal dashboard with unparalleled insight into advertising spend and the customer conversion path from the show floor. Most of the industry insiders we spoke with told us this tool will help them with the attribution puzzle.
Impact Radius plans to help make it easier than ever to put the pieces together in the coming months, so stay tuned for more announcements to come. In the meantime, download our whitepaper on Marketing Attribution in the New World, schedule a demo, or post your questions below.

Naturalness arguments for weak-scale supersymmetry favour supersymmetric partners of the third generation quarks with masses close to those of their Standard Model counterparts. Real and virtual production of third generation squarks via decay of a gluino can be significant if the mass of the gluino does not exceed the TeV scale. Top or bottom squarks with masses less than a few hundred GeV can also give rise to direct pair production rates at the LHC that can be observed in the 8 TeV data sample recorded by the ATLAS detector. Moreover, many supersymmetric models feature neutralinos, charginos and even sleptons with masses less than a few hundred GeV so that they can be observed in the available data sample. The talk presents recent ATLAS results from searches for direct stop and sbottom pair production as well as pair production of charginos, neutralinos and sleptons.


For Mother's Day dessert this year, I decided to try something a little different and bake up a new rendition of my mom's favorite thumb print cookies from Celebrity Bakery. A quick search on Pinterest revealed dozens of different options for thumbprint cookies. I went for this simple, quick and easy thumbprint recipe (it also had the most pins).
Over the holidays, I made a three layered carrot cake that had the most incredible cream cheese icing. Unfortunately (or fortunately) the recipe called for a lot more icing than was necessary for the cake. This left me with a huge bowl of leftover icing. To keep myself from eating the icing straight out of the bowl, I decided to use it on a fresh batch of sugar cookies and the result was incredible. I know that thumbprint cookies aren't traditionally made with cream cheese icing but I remembered how incredible those cream cheese frosted sugar cookies were and thought, why not do it again? I decided to use the same recipe but cut it in half and the results were just as good as I anticipated. The best part, my mom absolutely loved them!
Tip: The longer you whip this frosting, the lighter and fluffier it will become.

Made with real goji berries to provide mild exfoliation. A mix of pear, berry, & musk scents will have you smelling good enough to eat.


Looks good and comfortable to carry. I'm fitting 13 clubs and fits well.
The Wilson Staff Quiver stand bag has been purely designed for the golfer that carries all the time and wants minimal fuss while out on the golf course.
Wilson Staff have used a lightweight construction with a total of 3 pockets that will hold all your essentials. A bottle sleeve has been included in the design and has been placed on the spine of the bag to ensure that it is at arm's reach when walking.
A three-way divider top provides ample room for a full set of golf clubs. Integrated into the top of the bag is a grab handle that makes lifting a lowering much more comfortable.
To provide excellent carrying comfort and balance Wilson Staff have used a four-point harness style padded carrying strap.
A top mounted lightweight stand mechanism has been used to provide incredible stability. Wilson Staff have also used non-slip pads on the bottom of the stand to further improve stability on all kinds of surfaces.

Adult Swim Announces 'Metalocalypse,' 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force,' 'Venture Bros.' Movies
By Alex Dudok de Wit | 05/13/2021 12:36 pm | Be the First to Comment!
Adult Swim is producing new films based on three of its most popular series: Aqua Teen Hunger Force, The Venture Bros., and Metalocalypse.
The films will launch with a 90-day exclusive window on VOD and Blu-ray/DVD, before premiering on HBO Max and Adult Swim. Release dates have not been announced.
The three series were among the earliest original shows to air on Adult Swim, all premiering between 2001 and 2003. They have all since ended — most recently The Venture Bros., whose creator Jackson Publick tweeted last year that the show had been canceled.
Michael Ouweleen, president of Adult Swim, said, "Leveraging the power of Warnermedia allows us to deliver original content to our amazingly dedicated and not-shy fans, while also giving our talented series creators an opportunity to tell stories in new and interesting ways."
Warnermedia, parent company of HBO Max and Adult Swim, will hold an upfront next Wednesday in which it will reveal details of its upcoming programming. Keep an eye on Cartoon Brew for coverage.
Here are the official descriptions of Adult Swim's upcoming films:
Metalocalypse
The power-hungry Teibunal unveils their secret and deadly "Falconback Project" as the world grows in embattled chaos and the menacing Doomstar breaches the Earth's atmosphere while the mysterious and twisted dissent of a band member threatens the future of Dethklok. Picking up directly after the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth: can Dethklok choose between their egos and the greater good of the world to embark on a gauntlet of dangers that will try their very souls and finally write the song that will be their salvation? The new movie is created by Brendon Small and Tommy Blancha. The movie soundtrack will be released on Watertower Music.
The Venture Bros.
Doc's latest invention will either bankrupt the Ventures or launch them to new heights, as Hank searches for himself, Dean searches for Hank, The Monarch searches for answers, and a mysterious woman from their pasts threatens to bring their entire world crashing down on them. The Venture Bros. is created, written, and executive-produced by Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer.
A continuation of the hit animated series, fans will find out what happens next with Frylock, Meatwad, and Master Shake, who consider themselves crime fighters, but the truth is they never fight crime. Aqua Teen Hunger Force is created by Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis and follows the strange everyday lives of three human-sized food products living in New Jersey.

This paper reviews the effectiveness of the legal and institutional frameworks for promoting and regulating biofuel development in Indonesia. It provides an overview of the development of the oil palm biodiesel sector since 2006, following the implementation of dedicated biofuel policies and regulations. The paper examines production targets and evaluates their implementation. It also discusses possible reasons for the limited realisation of biofuel targets and explores the unintended consequences of legislation. Findings suggest that biofuel development in Indonesia suffers both structural problems (e.g. insufficient land for feedstock, biofuel market instability, inadequate incentives) and political barriers (e.g. unclear land allocation policies, conflict over land, local power structures that require the investment of time and resources). Feedstock plantations, notably oil palm, are associated with a number of problems, such as deforestation and shifts in land ownership structures – largely as a consequence of inadequate laws and enforcement. To ensure the sustainability of biofuel development in Indonesia more effective collaboration across administrative structures and improved enforcement of environmental protection and land regulations are needed.

Students compete to create the best and brightest in solar technology.
LIGHTEN UP: In Southern California, few things are more plentiful than sunshine. It can't be bottled, manufactured, or otherwise shipped away, so you have to be here to partake. It can, however, be harnessed, making this the perfect place to host the U.S. Department of Energy's 2013 Solar Decathlon, running Oct. 3-13 in Irvine.
FUN IN THE SUN: Since 2002, the Department of Energy has hosted this biannual competition amongst college engineering students to design, build, and operate solar-driven homes that are attractive, comfortable, and affordable. This year, various teams from the U.S. and Europe are presenting their versions of eco-friendly abodes throughout Irvine's Great Park. At the end of the week, the teams are judged and awarded based on their performance in ten categories. The homes, which often take years to complete, are then either transported back to schools for research or sold to interested parties.
RAYS FOR DAYS: The competition is free to visitors and open to all who want to learn more about solar technology and ways to save energy, or are just interested in touring homes of the future. Public hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Oct. 3 and Oct. 10. To learn more about the competition or to see photos of the setup in progress, check out their website.
