We are under pressure to win against Zimbabwe- Milovan Rajevac
Black Stars head coach, Milovan Rajevac admits his team is under pressure to win their second game against Zimbabwe.
The Black Stars will come against the warriors of Zimbabwe this afternoon without Captain Dede Ayew in the starting lineup, as Milovan names a strong side for the encounter. Swindon Town Jojo Wollacott will continue to keep the post for Ghana, and other players include Daniel Amartey, Baba Rahman, Alexander Djiku, Jonathan Mensah, Baba Iddrisu, and Thomas Partey who will captain the Ghana side, Jordan Ayew, Suleyman Kamal Deen, Kudus Mohammed and Benjamin Tetteh.
Ghana must beat the warriors to keep their hopes of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup alive. The Black Stars are currently second in Group G behind leaders South Africa.
But Speaking at the pre-match presser ahead of this afternoon encounter, Milo says his players will be able to cope with the pressure in order to succeed.
"This is usual in this kind of job, especially in this kind of situation you have to learn how to handle the pressure. For us it's a must-win and as you know, every next match is the most important match. Let's take one match at a time and we have the confidence and every next match is the most important and hardest and so we will learn how to handle the pressure so we can succeed in this game" He told the media.
Ghana is currently second in Group G with 6 points, behind leaders South Africa who has 7 points.

These days the housing finance companies seem to competing amongst and launching new schemes to attract home loan borrowers. Tata Capital Housing Finance has launched a new low interest rate scheme for women borrowers, following the trend of other rival HFCs. Tata capital is offering home loan at 10.15% for women customers for loan up to Rs 40 lakhs. The finance company would charge 10.50% for other borrowers, the bank announced through a statement issued recently.
Two months before State Bank of India, the largest nationalized bank of the country launched the schem for the first time, where they were offering a fixed rate of 10.10% for loan up to Rs 75 lakhs lakhs and 10.25% for loan above Rs 25 lakhs. These rates are 5 basis points lower than other customers. LIC Housing Finance recently ended its special scheme for women borrowers where it offered a fixed rate of 10.10% for loan up to Rs 75 lakhs. It offered the scheme, which ended on January 31, 2014.


Transition to school is particularly complex for children with special needs. A major difficulty faced by educational systems in trying to address these needs is the multitude of problems with which such children present. Based on populationlevel data collected with the Early Development Instrument in Canada, Australia, and Mexico, kindergarten-level school readiness outcomes in relation to particular impairments are explored here. Learning and behaviour problems have an overall impact on children's school readiness, while physical, hearing, and vision impairments appear to affect only the area directly related to the impairment. Overall, the results show some variation but also remarkable similarities among the countries.


The following article was not written for this site. Yikes! The original was here: http://www.youpickedawinner.com/desco_hist.html but that site seems to have gone away. I (Kevin) don't mean to trample on anyone's copyrights… but it would be a shame if this info (from a very well written piece) disappeared entirely. So, it's informative and falls under fair use.
Descoware was the signature cookware of Julia Child and was featured regularly on her cooking show during the 1960's. She praised it highly for its quality and durability.
Descoware originally was known as Bruxelles Ware at its inception. Manufactured in Oudenaarde, Belgium, it was imported into the United States through the Ufinindo International Corporation of New York beginning in the mid-1940's (see label below). By the early 1950's, the D.E. Sanford Company (D.E.S.Co.) had been established here in the U.S. with branches in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Thus the name Descoware was born.
The gradient red to orange "Flame" pattern was their trademark and soon Descoware became well known as the creme de la creme of cookware. It seemed you could find a piece in almost every home, whether it was a skillet or Dutch Oven or covered casserole.
By the mid-1950's, the D.E. Sanford Company had changed its name to the Descoware Corporation, headquartering itself in Los Angeles, and by the mid-1960's Descoware had become a subsidiary of General Housewares Corporation, also of Los Angeles (yes, the same GHC of Magnalite fame … as well as Wagner Cast Iron, which by this time included the Griswold trademarks as well).
Eventually, increasing business costs and competition from other manufacturers forced GHC to discontinue the importing of wares manufactured in Belgium. By the late 1960's, GHC had already begun to expand the Descoware line to include heavy gauge steel enamelware accessory items manufactured in Japan. By the mid-1970's, further loss of market share to Le Creuset (who had begun a very aggressive marketing campaign) and other French cookware manufacturers such as Cousances and Staub (another French culinary mainstay), combined with cheaper labor costs and raw materials readily available in Asia, led GHC to shift manufacture of its enameled cast iron line to Japan as well; however, this was short-lived, as the American market was not overly receptive to the new product (known as Finesse), even though it started offering the designer colors so craved by the buying public. The first Finesse products were made in Belgium, then later production moved to Japan.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. Le Creuset's aggressive marketing campaign eventually won out. Despite the long-time endorsement of top chefs such as Julia Child who rated Descoware ahead of Le Creuset for its functionality, the fashion-conscious of America were hungry for more color variety and "trendy" designer looks.
By the late 1970's, GHC, now struggling with profitability due to increased competition with it's Magnalite Aluminum and Wagner Cast Iron lines, restructured itself and re-focused its energies back on the former two trademarks, which continued to be manufactured in Sidney, OH. GHC divested itself of the Descoware trademark and sold off the rights and formulas for the patented Descoware enamels to Le Creuset. It also discontinued the Finesse line.
In addition to gifting the world with the beautiful "flame" design, Descoware also developed and patented the super hard, grey "Glissemaille" coating which makes so many of its pieces stand out not only for durability, but for their simple beauty.
After acquiring the patents, Le Creuset continued to use the Glissemaille for several years, only recently discontinuing it. Le Creuset also used the Descoware version of the flame coloration with grey interior for a while; however, this was also relatively short lived. If you look at Le Creuset's current version of "flame" you will notice that the color is much more fluorescent looking, almost like posterboard.
NOTE: In addition to the above colors/patterns being released under license of the Descoware name, the following colors of enameled cast iron wares were also manufactured at the Oudenaarde foundry, marketed independently or under contract to other brands: Moss Green (solid color, unmarked), Jadeite green (solid color, unmarked) and Cornflower Blue (solid color, unmarked).


If you're a Kingston Transit rider, you know that the summer months usually mean that the buses are less full and more on time thanks to a lack of students and good weather. While the lack of ridership is generally looked upon as a bad thing, Kingston Transit likes to use this slow period – particularly May and June – to introduce route, schedule and service changes. Although we did receive a handful of those earlier this summer, there's a second change happening to our buses right now that has people talking. To get a closer look at the new fare boxes, I went for a few ride-alongs on our buses and had some good chats with a few drivers.
Use up your tickets: The new boxes have lost their scanner, meaning all fares will now be coins or passes only and the old ticket system is gone. If you still have tickets you'll be able to use them until October 31st (There's a box to the right of the fare box to place them in) and will then need to exchange them for a new pass. Do this as soon as you can – all tickets expire on December 31st and won't be exchangeable in 2009.
Leave the fives at home: It almost goes without saying, but with the scanner gone, the new fare boxes are no longer able to accept paper money. While I don't think I've ever seen anyone feed a 5 (or 10) into the fare box and the scanners were more useful back when we had 1 and 2 dollar bills, it's still a change worth noting.
Use as few coins as possible: The redesign of the coin slot means that riders are no longer able to dump a handful of dimes and nickels into it and wait for the machine to catch up. Much like a vending machine, these fare boxes need to have each coin inserted individually. A lineup at a transfer point and one person with a handful of silver means a late bus.
Grab (and save) your transfer: The new transfer system is two-fold. When using a new smart card, transfers are tracked automatically and don't re-debit your card when you use it again. The paper system is a little more complex, though. Paper transfers are printed and display a large bar code, the date and a clear expiry time on them. When boarding your next bus, you scan the bar code and take your seat. Transfers (both paper and digital) are valid for one hour and work on any route other than the issuing one.
Get a pass: The new My Card system comes in three flavours. The "My Tickets" card works just like the old tickets did – 20.00 (or 15.00 for youth ages 6-18 and seniors) gets you 10 rides, and the card is completely disposable. Much like the old passes, the "Monthly Pass" card (65.00 for a month, 48.00 for youth 6-18, 44.00 for seniors) works as photo ID on the bus and is good for unlimited rides. New to the options is the "Multi-ride Card". This card is a simple cash card which deducts (and tracks) rides based on the current ticket fare. This one is reloadable with a cash value of your choice (Minimum 20.00). Both the monthly pass, and the multi-ride card are registered to the rider, and can be disabled if reported lost. A replacement card costs 5.00.
Expect a delay: The new system is handy, but riders using the older tickets and cash fares slow it down. I watched it take as much as 5 seconds to be ready for the next fare on an old-style pass or ticket, and longer on a handful of coin. The new cards do clear faster, but also take a second for the machine to read. September's always bad for delays, but I'm expecting this one to be a hard one to fare through.
BONUS TIP from a driver: Stock up! At the moment, the ticket cards have no expiry date – so a 10-ride disposable card stays a 10-ride card, even during a fare increase. The unlimited monthly passes can be pre-paid for any duration, too – so they're also, in theory, exempt from fare increases.
While I'd much rather see a new route or two – or better evening and Sunday service – the new fare boxes seem to be quite the improvement over the last ones and they'll likely only get better in time. They're manufactured by Sistema Bea and are, from what I understand, are being rolled out under the direct supervision from the company. They're being installed as part of a $1.2 million investment towards capital expenditures from the province that was announced in the spring.
I hate change!! But I suppose it's for the best.
Sure they could have spent the money elsewhere, but I think that this will, in the long run, bring our transit system into the 21st century. That said, considerable work is needed (from what hear) to scheduling, routes and other elements of basic service.

Three local women win S.D. International pageant crowns
By Cathy Nelson
HOT SPRINGS – Lisa Shannon of Hot Springs and Tina Wilson and her daughter Morgan, formerly of Hot Springs and now of Rapid City, won titles in the 2019 South Dakota International Pageant that was held at the Sioux Falls Orpheum Theatre on October 21.
Lisa was crowned Ms. South Dakota International 2019. Tina was crowned Mrs. South Dakota International 2019, and Morgan was crowned Miss South Dakota International 2019. They competed in personal interviews, fitness wear, evening gown, a platform statement and an on-stage question.
"It is an extreme honor," Lisa said. "I feel very blessed to represent South Dakota as a role model, and as an ambassador for the American Heart Association, which is the national platform. Heart disease is the number one killer of women." She said she wants to spread the importance of diet, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle.
Lisa's personal platform is Motorcycle Safety, which was also her platform when she held the title of Mrs. South Dakota International 2017. She will be speaking and traveling throughout the year to promote her platform and the national platform.
This was the first year the pageant crowned a "Ms." South Dakota International, making it special that Lisa was the first to win the title. Lisa was crowned by Jill Turbak, who is Mrs. South Dakota International 2018, whom Lisa had crowned when she was Mrs. South Dakota 2017. Others in the pageant were selected for Little Miss, Young Miss, Miss Pre Teen, Miss Pre Teen Mount Rushmore, Miss Teen, Miss, and Mrs. South Dakota International 2019. Each one became ambassadors for South Dakota and received an official sash, crown and a prize package.
Tina, age 56, who was crowned Mrs. South Dakota International 2019, lived in Hot Springs for 16 years and relocated to Rapid City three years ago. She has three sons and a daughter, Morgan, who is the new Miss South Dakota International 2019. Tina works for the federal government. She enjoys kayaking, hiking and interior design. After watching many shows about do-it-yourself projects, she took on designing kitchens, bathrooms and basic interiors of the homes she and her husband, Scott, have renovated
Tina's pageant platform is Dare to Change—Diabetes Awareness and Prevention. "Diabetes has been a common thread throughout my life," she said. "My father passed away at age 27 from diabetes complications. Nine years ago I was over 300 pounds and had gestational diabetes during two pregnancies, and last year my husband, Scott, was diagnosed with type 2."
Continuing, Tina said, "During the past year I was frustrated by the fact that South Dakota does not have a chapter of the American Diabetes Association. Our native population is affected by diabetes at near epidemic numbers with children being the fastest growing group for pre-diabetes. My mission is to bring a chapter to South Dakota so our rural population has access to education, support and resources."
As Mrs. South Dakota International, Tina will work with the state chapter of the Go Red for Women and The American Heart Association in their annual fundraising events, such as the Heart Ball in February and Heart Walk in the fall. She will also be part of the leadership team with the American Cancer Society for the upcoming annual Relay for Life.
"I look forward to honoring our veterans in the upcoming Veterans Day Parade, as well as the Festival of Lights Parade on November 24," she said. "I'm certain other great opportunities will present themselves as the year progresses."
When asked why she decided to enter the pageant, she said she was a "pageant mother" for a number of years while Morgan was involved in various aspects of pageantry. And, she accompanied her best friend, Lisa Shannon, who was Mrs. South Dakota International 2017 at that time, to a number of events. "I was able to see firsthand how dedicated those women and young ladies were to service in their communities and giving back," she said. "The International Organization promotes family and service, and I was truly inspired to see these ladies lift each other up and empower each other in a way I had never experienced. The added bonus was sharing the pageant experience with Morgan."
"Receiving the title alongside my mom and the other ladies was such an awesome moment," Morgan said. "How often can you go through something like this with such a supportive group of women, especially sharing that experience with your mom? I am beyond blessed to have received this wonderful opportunity, and I look forward to being a part of such a great system."
Morgan, a 2017 graduate of Hot Springs High School, is attending a South Dakota college with a double major in musical theater and vocal music performance. She was a two-year member of the All-American Cheer Team traveling to London to perform for millions in the New Year's Day Parade. She was chosen for the Irene Ryan Award as a college freshman and competed regionally for one of their scholarships in theater. She is part of the college Color Guard Team and recently completed her first time as stage manger in "Man of La Mancha."
"I aspire to perform onstage in live theater and dream of performing on Broadway," Morgan said
Morgan's pageant platform is Cyber Smart. "My goal is to spread the message of social media and technology safety, and digital citizenship," she said. "I want to promote positive emotional/mental health while online."
The next level of competition for the three women will be the national pageant at Miss International 2019 that will be held in Charleston, W.V., on July 26 and 27, 2019. Ladies between ages 4 and 60 living in South Dakota that are interested should visit www.sdpageants.com or contact South Dakota State Director Jessie Brower at 605-360-1117 or This email address is being protected from spambots.

Newly-crowned Tina Wilson, left, and her husband Scott and daughter Morgan are shown at the South Dakota International Pageant held in Sioux Falls in October. Mother and daughter will both compete in the national pageant to be held in Charleston, W.V. next July.
Lisa Shannon, a former Mrs. South Dakota International, was crowned again recently, this time as the first-ever Ms. South Dakota International.

What Happen To Obama Bringing America Together
Obama's Road
A new survey shows that Barack Obama is the most polarizing president in the last 60 years. As divisive as he is, the current occupant of the White House has simply exacerbated a trend towards disunity that has been developing for years.
A report released by Gallup on Friday shows that the partisan divide over Mr. Obama continued a record-setting pace for the third year straight. In 2011, the gap between his approval ratings by party was 68 percent, the highest for any third-year president on record. Even the liberal Washington Post headlined its report on the Gallup survey as, "Obama: The most polarizing president. Ever."
The Gallup data show that while Mr. Obama has had the most polarized first three years in office, they also reveal that George W. Bush holds the top three slots for most divisive presidential years ever, occurring 2004-2007. This shows that the partisan antipathy is mutual. This is a recent phenomenon; eight of the top 10 most divided years have occurred from 2004 to the present.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Mr. Obama promised to heal the partisan breach. He said he would be a unifier, that he would reach across party lines, that he would forge consensus. Once he took office, however, armed with a hard-left agenda and backed by a supermajority in Congress, the arrogance of power overwhelmed the better angels of his nature. Those who questioned his policies were labeled extremists, or worse. Dissent was smacked down, Congress rammed through his contentious programs, and Democrats were punished for their conceit with a "shellacking" in the 2010 midterm elections.
Since 2011, bereft of his congressional amen corner, Mr. Obama has grown particularly contemptuous of the system. He has sought ways to expand the powers claimed by the executive and obeys only the laws that suit him. A compliant Justice Department fabricates thin rationales that convince none but those who would affirm anything Mr. Obama did anyway. This has had a particularly destructive impact on the bonds of trust and tradition without which our system cannot function. Some ask: If the president does not abide by the Constitution, why should anyone else?
Yet the problem is much deeper than Mr. Obama, and the decline in political legitimacy goes beyond the executive. Regard for Congress has been on a nosedive for the past 10 years. Members of both political parties give Congress a positive rating in the low teens, and approval from independents is a mere 7 percent. Gallup data for December 2011 showed 86 percent disapproval of Congress, which is a record high. Disapproval ratings for the Supreme Court are near records as well. According to a Gallup report released in September, the general sense of satisfaction over how the country is being governed has dropped from 59 percent in 2003 to a historic low of 19 percent.
These data demonstrate a growing undercurrent of discontent. The division in the country is narrow; there are many on each side. But the gulf is deep, and growing deeper. The question now is: Can any politician or party heal this rift, or has the United States truly become a house divided?

Trey has paid tribute to the late singer.
Trey Songz has honoured the late David Bowie with a cover of his hit single 'Life On Mars?'.
The singer has offered his modern take on the 1973 song as part of HBO television show 'Vinyl'.
"It's a God-awful small affair, to the girl with the mousy hair," he sings.
"When I was approached last summer by the producers of 'Vinyl,' the first thing I thought was, 'Damn that's a David Bowie song," Trey told Complex.
"I was honored that the producers thought of such a legend and myself in the same breath. I had to do what I do best, because icons like David paved the way.
The cover follows up Trey's 2015 album 'To Whom It May Concern' and will be included in 'Vinyl's' weekly series of soundtracks: 'Vinyl: Music from the HBO Original Series – Volume 1.6' which will drop on 18th March.

Federal Fisheries
At Mid Atlantic Council's June 2018 Meeting, Here's What Went Down
JMcMurray
Photo by Angelo Peluso
The Council met this week, here's what you should know
By Capt. John McMurray
There were really only three agenda items during this meeting that are of importance to anglers. Although before getting to those, we want to point out that during the Law Enforcement Committee report on Tuesday, a NOAA Law Enforcement Officer reported writing over 40 violations this spring for anglers fishing for striped bass in federal waters off of New Jersey.
As readers of Fissues likely know, striper fishing outside of three miles is prohibited under federal regulation. That prohibition was put into place 30 years ago, to protect strong year classes entering the population and to promote rebuilding of a once overfished population. Today it serves as a badly needed protection zone for those larger older striped bass.
The point is this: The Exclusive Economic Zone (that area from 3 miles from the shore out to 200 miles) is off limits. It is clearly marked on GPS units, so ignorance is not an excuse. Keep your striped bass fishing inside of it. Because Law Enforcement is indeed enforcing it, as they should be.
Moving on, the first noteworthy item on the agenda was mackerel. We covered the mackerel situation back in April: WELL OF COURSE MACKEREL ARE OVERFISHED, but the short version is that almost the entire mackerel quota—90% of it—was caught by the commercial fleet by the end of February. That put the mackerel landings limit to 20,000 pounds per boat. If, or should we say, "when" the mackerel quota is reached—and that is forecasted to happen this fall—commercial boats will be prohibited from landing ANY mackerel in federal waters
That made the big midwater trawlers in New England, which target herring on a grand scale, quite nervous, as they catch mackerel in large quantities while targeting Atlantic herring.
So, in response to such concern, the Council developed alternatives for a bycatch allowance to keep the herring fleet in business. At this meeting they ultimately agreed on a five-thousand-pound limit.
Yes, there were a lot of folks who were thinking they would simply shut that fishery down as an avoidance measure. And that likely would have been a good thing for anglers up there who thrive on those time and area aggregations of herring, which bring in bluefin, striped bass etc. But, we've been in this business long enough to know that wasn't going to happen.
Why is this important? Well, mackerel are indeed becoming more abundant, which is due to a single strong year class spawned in 2015. That is of course a good thing, but the Council is gearing up to allow a greater amount of pressure on them, when they really should be trying to protect the first good year class we've seen in an awful long time. We'll stay on top of this. And there WILL be opportunities for anglers to weigh in. Stay tuned.
The next important agenda item was chub mackerel. For a brief history on Chub, and how we got to where we are now, check out Fissues' chub mackerel species description and history.
Chub are important to the offshore community, because in recent years they have driven significant time and area bites for billfish, bluefin, yellowfin, and mahi. But a few boats in the squid fishery really started ramping up effort on them a few years ago. They went from almost no landings to 5 million pounds in just a few years.
The Council reacted to that increase by capping the fishery at the most recent 3 year average, as part of the Council's Unmanaged Forage Amendment. But that was intended to be an interim measure. In 2021, that cap sunsets. The intent was to give the Council time to develop long-term, science-based catch limits, which accounted for chub's role as an important prey source for tunas and billfish.
Yet, the Council has since been struggling to figure out a way to manage them. An amendment was initiated just about year ago to include them as a stock in the Squid, Mackerel, Butterfish Fishery Management Plan. But moving forward with this has been problematic, mostly due to a clear lack of data on the species, and what eats it. It is very difficult to develop reference points (i.e overfishing limits, biomass targets, etc) when you don't have the science.
Furthermore, while everyone spends any real time offshore knows, tuna and billfish eat the crap out of those things (larger mahi do, too), there is very little non-anecdotal data to support such a contention. And as you can imagine, industry says such angler contention is BS.
So at this meeting, we received a presentation on where we are now. Efforts are underway to collect data, but they are lacking to say the least. According to Council staff, a tuna/billfish stomach contents survey (from Maine to New Jersey) will take place during this summer and next. But there are a few problems here. One, chub aggregations are episodic. One year they are supper abundant in large tightly-packed schools and tuna are crashing though them. The following year they are around, but dispersed and not tightly packed. And then the following two or 3 years, they may not show up at all. So, while everyone knows that tunas and billfish eat chub in large quantities when they are around, they won't show up in the stomach contents surveys if they aren't around, and it's entirely possible that they won't be around over the next couple of seasons. If that happens, well then industry will just push that chub are not a significant food source for tunas and billfish, and claim they should be able to knock the crap outta them without consequence.
We can tell you with certainty though, chub drive time and area bites for billfish and tuna. I've personally taken part in them.
Another issue with such a survey is that, sure they can look in tuna stomachs, but they sure as hell aren't gonna survey many billfish stomachs, because few people kill them. I supposed a few dead ones come to the dock, but it isn't many. So how they plan to account for billfish diets is a big question mark.
Lastly, the Council doesn't expect to have the results of the survey until early 2020. Given the sunset date on the current cap, and the timeline of the Amendment, the Council won't be able to use the results to make decisions on alternatives. And that is a huge bummer.
What the Council is talking about now is delaying any effort to address things like localized depletion and splitting that off into a possible/uncertain future action. Given the Council's proclivity to delay important conservation action, and what could be a rapidly escalating fishery, that makes us nervous. Stay tuned on this issue.
On the brighter side, the Council did approve a strong set of goals and objectives for the Amendment. After some wordsmithing, such objectives clearly stated the Council's intent have a sustainable fishery, and to account for chub's role in the marine ecosystem.
The only hitch there was the inclusion of "to the extent practicable" language. In our eyes, what that effectively does is give the Council an out, if they decide they don't have enough data, or it's just too hard. And that would be unacceptable. There was an attempt to remove that language, but it failed, because the Regional Administrator felt that it bound them to what may not be an accomplishable task.
All this said, the intent of the Council to account for chubs' role as prey was made clear, on the record. So there's that.
Lastly, there was a public hearing on an Atlantic Herring Amendment 8 on Tuesday. This Amendment, which seeks to move forward with managing herring as prey, and address localized depletion of the herring resource by the midwater trawl fleet, could be a huge step in the right direction as far as ecosystem based fishery management goes. The comment period extends to June 25th, and we're currently writing a full piece on this, in hopes to generate letters from anglers, so keep an eye out for that.
The 30 or so people who showed up spoke clearly, in favor of buffer zones off of Long Island and New England. By buffer zones, we mean areas where large mid-water trawls targeting herring won't be allowed to fish.
Attendees also spoke in favor of adopting a "forage-based control rule". Support for "Alternative 2" was unanimous because it maintains a higher biomass target, in order to account for herring's role in the ecosystem; and temporarily cuts off all fishing when a low biomass threshold is reached.
We're keeping an eye on Amendment 8 and will provide updates here as we get them.
The above discussed items are really the only one that warrant attention from anglers this go around.
Stay tuned as these issues develop. We'll keep you up to date @ Fissues.org.

Europe is losing its confidence in the European Union. This is the result of a current survey conducted by the Western European members of WIN, the World Independent Network of Market Research. 52 per cent of respondents from seven European countries stated to lack trust in the EU. However, answers varied greatly depending on the respective country of origin. As the exclusive German member of WIN, Produkt + Markt conducted the survey in Germany.
"Thinking about the EU. Overall, how much confidence do you have in the EU?" – A total of 7000 people from France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and the UK were asked this question in November and December 2017. While the number of respondents lacking trust in the EU is particularly high in Italy (71 per cent have no confidence in the EU), Ireland (59 per cent) and Spain (54 per cent) still have a comparatively high level of confidence in Europe. In Germany, 45 per cent of respondents still trust in the EU, while 52 per cent stated to have little or no confidence in the European Union anymore.
Despite decreasing levels of confidence and a looming Brexit, there are still 62 per cent of respondents who believe that their country will still be a member of the European Union in five years from now. In Germany, even 75 per cent of respondents believe that Germany will still be a member of the EU, and that the European Union will still exist. The results for this question were quite similar in all participating countries, the UK being the only exception.
It is particularly noticeable that especially young and well-educated people continue to have faith in Europe. 67 per cent of the 16- to 29-year-olds in Germany stated to have "a great deal of confidence" or at least "some confidence" in Europe. 81 per cent of them also believe that Germany will still be a member of the EU in five years from now.
Please see WIN's official press release below for additional interesting results and further Details.

Bird club helps college hopefuls take flight
By Dave Zuchowski, for the Greene County Messenger
Now through March 31, county youth looking to supplement their college funding might consider applying for a scholarship awarded by the Ralph K. Bell Bird Club of Greene County.
Open to all seniors in high school, including those in private schools, home schooled or college freshmen and sophomores, the Ralph K. Bell and Judy Cholak Memorial Scholarships have only a few requirements. Applicants must be residents of Greene County, have a G.P.A. of 3.0 or more and be of good moral standing. They need not be bird watchers or enthusiasts to apply.
"In order to get younger people interested in birds and birding, the club discussed offering the scholarships at one of our meetings," said Marjorie Howard, president and founder of the bird club. "After we voted affirmatively in favor of the proposal, we decided to proceed and awarded the first scholarship in 2009."
To be eligible for either the $1,000 or $500 scholarship awarded annually, candidates must complete an application and submit it along with a 500 word or more essay on winter birds of Greene County. Applications must also include a letter of recommendation, and must be mailed by March 31 to The Ralph K. Bell and Judy Cholak Memorial Scholarship Fund Entry, 149 Preachers Road, Waynesburg, PA 15370.
Funds for the scholarships come from a portion of the members' annual dues. Three dollars comes from each of the single member dues of $15 a year and $8 comes from the $25 family membership dues. Some of the scholarship funding came by way of the family of Judy Cholak who requested in her obituary that friends donate money to the bird club scholarship fund in lieu of flowers. Another portion of the funding comes from the donations collected during the annual Covered Bridge Festival at the White Covered Bridge in Carmichaels.
"From time to time, bird club members also make additional donations," Howard said.
Although organizers sent the applications to all the Greene County school districts, they are also available by emailing rkbbirdclub@yahoo.com.
After receiving all the applications and checking them for completion, club president Marjorie Howard assigns each a number to keep the applicants anonymous. Once the applications have been numbered, she faxes them to a panel of seven judges made up of Bell's daughter, son and grandson, as well as four bird cub members.
The judges then report back to Howard by April 15, and the winners are notified shortly thereafter. Sometime at the end of April, the club presents a check to the winners at a luncheon.
"The most applications we ever received was 23, and over the years, we've had winners from every school district but Southeastern Greene," Howard said.
The club is named after Ralph K. Bell who resided on a farm just outside Clarksville. Bell started to keep records of birds at the age of 25 and organized the annual Christmas bird count in the late 1950s. Bell retired after 30 years of service as a board member of the Greene County Conservation District, and, in 2005, Howard created the bird club and named it in memory of Bell's service.
With a current membership of 61, the bird club holds a Memorial Walk on the third Saturday of May, which starts at Bell's farm house and proceeds a mile down to the bridge that crosses Ten Mile Creek. The public is invited to participate in the event and identify different bird species along the way.
In the spring, the club organizes field trips to Moraine State Park in Butler County and the annual Enlow Fork Wildlife and Wildflower Walk in Greene County at the end of April. The club also participates in the Winter Raptor Survey, the Great Backyard Bird Count, scheduled this year from February 14-17, and the Christmas and Spring Bird Counts.
"We invite youngsters to join in on all our events," Howard said. "We also encourage them to get involved with the Great Backyard Bird Count, which they can do at their own home. In the past, we've had several youngsters help out or participate in our bird counts."
Past events for younger bird enthusiasts include a program on bird banding at a school in Morgantown and a bird camp organized with the Penn State Extension Office in 2018. The bird club held the camp for kids at the Boy Scout building in Rices Landing and offered 12 different lessons including the subjects of identifying birds by their feathers and eggs and building blue bird boxes.

Usually, i just put here game consoles or systems that are usually not emulated from the first generation of video games, but this time it is a game system from the 4th generation (well...game system is pretty stretching it) called the Tandy/Memorex VIS (Video Information System) MD-2500.
To make a story short, this "wanna-be" educational system is now rare to find and sought after even if i would classify it as "Worst Game System EVER!!" but this is still part of the video game history and is also a great part about computer history since it has a "Modular Windows" for an operating system. Actually, it has a Windows 3.1 modified inside two EPROMS.
The BIOS of this system has two EPROMS labeled P513BK0B and P513BK1B which are 16-BIT (512K each in size) 27C240, and now these two EPROMS are now dumped but still need to be verified to see if both are good dumps. And if they are good then we need to wait that someone makes a driver for the MAME (MESS) to be finally preserved (Hey, even if i think it's the worst game system ever, it's still need to be preserved for historical purpose).
Your timing is perfect! I just picked up one of these today at a second-hand store, though mine didn't come with anything except for a copy of "The Secrets of Hosea Freeman" in the drive.
If you ever get the the time in the future, it would be super helpful to also document the IR signals sent from the remote control and gamepads. I don't know if they use standard Memorex IR codes but the two-player nature of the pads makes me think that they are something proprietary to this console.
If the codes were know then, hopefully, someone could build a SNES-to-VIS adapter to replace lost gamepads.
Also, you may like to know, I opened mine and found there are some differences on the motherboard to yours. My serial number is 015287. Model number is the same.
My motherboard has a barcode sticker next to the large brown slot with the numbers: "8859132 TP24992439"
Also, my motherboard is darker brown colour.
All other components look to be the same. The CD-ROM drive is the same model with the manufacturing date of November 1992.
All this tells me you have a much earlier model, 4 months older than mine if the date on U1 can be trusted.
Now i know why Q*Bert says @!#?@!

What Would Be Considered Rapid Weight Loss?
How Many Calories Should One Consume for Weight Loss?
How to lose belly fat quickly?
Will I lose weight fast if I cut on harmful products?
There are so many questions that bother people who are overweight or obese.
However, before you get answers to these, you need to know some details.
Losing weight can be overwhelming, challenging and frustrating.
There are so many restrictions and rules you need to follow that frequently people prefer to start taking some weight loss pills hoping they will do magic.
But the reality is different: eat a healthy diet, work out regularly and be patient.
Staying motivated is also one of the crucial factors that help people continue what they have started.
Keep in mind that weight loss programs have different impacts on different people, so the process may vary, and it is normal.
Fear is sometimes the best motivation, and it can perfectly work here.
If you are not successful on your way to fast weight loss and you completely give up on this idea, you need to consider specific risks and dangers that are hidden by obesity.
Following medical information, overweight people are in a risk group and may face the rapid development of some specific health disorders.
Even if you have found the quickest way to lose weight, nothing can replace healthy and balanced nutrition, lifestyle and exercise.
According to information provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 95 million adults within the US are diagnosed with obesity.
What are the risks of this tendency?
Liver disorders and similar health abnormalities.
Therefore, looking for the best way to lose weight is individual but ultimately important for everyone.
Natural weight loss pills may increase your chances for the achievement of effective results.
Start with the things you can control.
Unfortunately, you cannot control the whole process and its progress, but you can focus on other things that will promote the desired result.
Control the food you eat, moves you make and stress you experience.
Everyday care is the fastest way to lose weight.
A considerable number of people give up the idea of fighting obesity as their quickest way to lose 10 pounds turns out to be ineffective.
Because the scales cannot show you how much body fat you have burned.
Focus on a healthy and fast weight loss diet menu.
Reduce the consumption of harmful products that prevent you from successful weight loss but keep water in the organism, store body fat and have a negative impact on important body organs and functions.
Plateaus are harsh moments of the whole weight loss process.
It is the time when the organism gets adjusted to the best foods for weight loss diet you eat and regular exercises you do, and the results get less and less effective.
At this point, it is necessary to enhance the intensity of your workouts, start lifting weights, add another day to your exercise routine.
Besides, checking new diet plans for women to lose weight or nutrition recommendations for effective weight loss in men can help enormously.
Having the right goal is key.
Imagine you have been actively exercising for months and finally you get the news that you have lost nothing.
Right, because the purpose was wrong.
Keep in mind that muscles weigh much more than fat, and the final result should be the difference in the body measurements.
Additionally, focus your attention on other results you want to achieve and forget about tricky games with your scales.
Increased blood circulation around the organism, more energy, improved sleep, more self-confidence, less stress, better concentration, and focus are the positive results you may achieve.
Combining regular physical exercises with the consumption of weight loss products will help you notice significant changes in body weight as well.

Supreme Court Defines ATDS Under The TCPA
By Laura A. Mazzuchetti, Alysa Z. Hutnik, Kelley Drye, Becca J. Wahlquist & Whitney M. Smith on April 2, 2021
Posted in Federal & State Regulatory, Litigation, TCPA/Robocalls
On April 1, 2021, in a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that the definition of an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS") under the TCPA is limited by the plain grammar of the statute itself. The Court, in a decision authored by Justice Sotomayor, held that a device must have the capacity to use a random or sequential number generator in either storing or producing a telephone number, to qualify as an ATDS under the TCPA. Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid et al., Case No. 19-511 (2021).
Our preview of the Supreme Court's consideration of Duguid can be found here and our analysis of the oral argument can be found here. The Court's decision is discussed below, and its opinion can be found here.…

Supreme Court Hears Oral Argument Over the TCPA's Definition of an Autodialer

Posted in Litigation, Privacy, TCPA/Robocalls
For the second time this year, the TCPA came before the Supreme Court via teleconference oral argument in Facebook, Inc. v. Duguid, et al, Case No. 19-511 (2020). The Supreme Court's disposition of Facebook's petition is expected to resolve a widening Circuit split over what qualifies as an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS") under the TCPA, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., and thus determine much of the scope of the TCPA's calling restrictions.

Sixth Circuit Holds That Stored-Number Systems Meet the TCPA's Definition of an Autodialer, Deepening Circuit Split to be Addressed by the Supreme Court Next Term
By Alysa Z. Hutnik, Laura A. Mazzuchetti & Julia Schuurman on August 4, 2020
Posted in Federal & State Regulatory, Litigation, Privacy, TCPA/Robocalls
It has been more than two years since the D.C. Circuit found the Federal Communications Commission's (the "FCC") discussion of predictive dialers and other equipment alleged to be an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS," or "autodialer") to "offer no meaningful guidance" on the question. In the absence of an FCC ruling on the remand, multiple courts of appeals have addressed the statute's definition. In the most recent case, Allan v. Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency, the Sixth Circuit adopted (in a split decision) a broad definition of an autodialer. Construing the term ATDS to include both devices that "generate[] and dial[] random or sequential numbers," and "that dial from a stored list of numbers," the Sixth Circuit has aligned itself with the Second and Ninth Circuits in a growing circuit split, with the Third, Seventh and Eleventh Circuits adopting a narrower interpretation. At this point, all eyes are on the Supreme Court, which accepted a case addressing the ATDS definition for next term.¹ The FCC, meanwhile, is not likely to address the core ATDS definition until after the Supreme Court ruling.

Supreme Court to Weigh-in on the Definition of an Autodialer Under TCPA
By Alysa Z. Hutnik, Laura A. Mazzuchetti, Kelley Drye & Whitney M. Smith on July 10, 2020
On July 9, 2020, the Supreme Court granted Facebook's petition for certiorari in a case with potentially broad implications for both class action litigation and business communications with their current and potential customers. The Supreme Court's disposition of Facebook's petition may settle the complex question of what qualifies as an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS") under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq. ("TCPA").
The TCPA prohibits telemarketing calls to be placed using an ATDS without the requisite level of prior consent. Thus, the definition of what technology qualifies as an ATDS is often a fundamental, threshold question upon which TCPA litigation turns. Prior to 2015, the FCC had offered various, sometimes vague, interpretations of the term. In 2015, the FCC offered an expansive definition, which was set aside in March 2018 in the ACA International decision. While the issue has been before the FCC on remand for over two years now, courts nevertheless engaged in their own analysis of the statute, resulting in a broadening Circuit split on how the law is interpreted and applied and divergent outcomes based on the court in which the case is filed. Now the Supreme Court is poised (potentially) to resolve that dispute.…

Beginning of a TCPA Clean-Up? FCC Sets Another Robocall Blocking Item for Vote While Addressing Two of Nearly Three Dozen Pending Petitions
By Laura A. Mazzuchetti & Alysa Z. Hutnik on June 26, 2020
On the same day that the FCC set a call blocking declaratory ruling for vote at its July 2020 Open Meeting, the FCC's Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau issued rulings in two long-pending petitions for clarification of the requirements of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act ("TCPA"). Although these clarifications do not address the core questions regarding the definition of an autodialer and consent requirements that were remanded two years ago in ACA International v. FCC, they may signal an effort to clean up TCPA issues in what is expected to be the waning months of FCC Chairman Pai's tenure at the Commission.
In the first ruling, P2P Alliance, the Bureau ruled that an automatic telephone dialing system ("ATDS") is not determined by whether the equipment has the capability to send a large volume of calls or texts in a short period of time. Instead, the Bureau, while recognizing that the Commission's interpretation of the ATDS definition remains pending, ruled that "whether the calling platform or equipment is an autodialer turns on whether such equipment is capable of dialing random or sequential telephone numbers without human intervention." The Bureau also provides an illuminating discussion of the so-called "human intervention" element of prior FCC statements regarding autodialers.
In the second ruling, Anthem, Inc., the Bureau denied a petition to exempt certain healthcare-related calls from the TCPA's consent requirements. In this order, the Bureau breaks less new ground and instead reiterates that prior express consent must be obtained before a call (or text) is made and that the supposed value or "urgency" of the communication does not necessarily make it permissible.
Besides these two petitions, the Commission has nearly three dozen petitions pending before it on a variety of matters relating to exemptions from the TCPA's consent requirements, the collection and revocation of consent, the "junk fax" provisions, and other questions raised by the flood of TCPA class action litigation in the last five years. If the FCC begins addressing these other pending petitions, the course of TCPA class action litigation could change significantly.…

Blockchain-Based Journalism Platform Civil Launches
Blockchain-based journalism network Civil has launched, with nearly 100 newsrooms signed on.
Blockchain-based journalism network Civil has announced its launch in an official blog post on March 1.
Civil is a platform for independent journalism that aims to develop an alternative model to support journalism. The project's ecosystem has its native CVL token — the amount of which will be limited to 100 million — that purports to provide financial sustainability and improve trust in journalism.
Starting March 6, users will purportedly be able to purchase Civil membership, including CVL which will represent members' voting power within the Civil ecosystem. "Thirty-four million Civil tokens will be priced by The Civil Media Company at $0.20 per CVL on March 6. Every token sold will trigger a slight price increase until the last token goes for $0.94 via a transparent, fixed and linear slope," the post reads.
The company will reportedly direct 100 percent of the net proceeds to independent non-profit organization Civil Foundation, that supports ethical journalism on a global scale. Apart from that, members will get an equivalent number of CVL to their financial contribution to the Civil Foundation.
Within the launch, Civil will introduce two tools — the Civil Registry and the Civil Publisher. The first is an app that enables any newsroom to apply to be a Civil newsroom with the self-governing community. The latter allows Civil newsrooms to index verifiable data about their publications to the blockchain. Nearly 100 newsrooms are reportedly signed on to join the platform.
Civil notes in the post that the recent development is not another "token sale," likely referring to their ill-fated initial launch, when the CVL token sale targeting an $8 million minimum did not succeed last year. Civil reportedly raised only $1,435,491 in CVL tokens from 1,012 investors, while an additional 1,738 buyers registered for the sale, but never completed the transaction.
Last August, Civil entered into a content licensing partnership with the Associated Press (AP), in which the AP would deliver its content, including national and international news to Civil, so that news agencies can access it on the platform.

Virat Kohli steps in as Brand MS Dhoni diminishes; past icons give way to younger guns
As younger icons come on the scene, they replace the earlier ones who have matured
Sulekha Nair August 29, 2016 14:27:45 IST
In December 2014, MS Dhoni decided to take himself off playing test cricket in India pointing to "the strain of playing all formats".
"The demands of Test cricket have taken a big toll on my body. And I have decided that the best way to serve my country is to play the shorter formats. Test cricket has always been a great challenge and I enjoyed the ride while it lasted. I hope the next captain enjoys captaincy as I did," he said in a statement after playing the third test in Australia.

Not only did Dhoni pass his baton to the next captain but it seems the advertisers too have followed suit. According to an Economic Times report, soft drinks major PepsiCo has discontinued its 11 years of association with 35-year-old Dhoni and chosen 28-year-old Kohli as its brand ambassador.
The issue assumes significance when people focus on the cricketer or the brand ambassador and not the brand. For, as Harish Bijoor, Chief Executive Officer of brand and business strategy firm Harish Bijoor Consults Inc points out, a brand ambassador is not important simply because it is the brand that comes first and the story that is woven around it. "A brand needs a person to lead that endorsement," says Bijoor. In that scheme of things, for a brand in the cola category, it is important to have someone in sync with its image. However, that does not mean Dhoni is not an icon anymore, says Bijoor. He has been around for 11 years and his earnings from endorsements have earned him $27 million dollars. "But the cola brand is about youth and so it has a new brand icon from cricket which is Virat Kohli now," says Bijoor.
According to Forbes magazine, Sachin Tendulkar was the highest paid player in cricket before Dhoni took over. He is believed to have endorsed 50 brands with an estimated endorsement fee of over Rs 500 crore. Tendulkar dropped out of the world's top 100 post his retirement in 2014. According to ET, Dhoni had endorsed 18 brands in 2014 which fetched him a remuneration of $27 million which has come down to 10 brands in 2016. Dhoni charges Rs 1.5 crore per day unlike Kohli and Tendulkar who charge Rs 2 crore per day.
Advertising guru Piyush Pandey, Executive Chairman and national Creative Director of Ogilvy & Mather India and and Vice-Chairman of O&M Asia-Pacific, sees the choice of Kohli as someone who resonates more with the brand. "Dhoni has reduced his exposure in cricket by 50 percent and it reflects in his brand endorsements," he says. Terming the change of ambassadors or brand icons as a life cycle and an eventual outcome of the cricketer choosing not to play all formats of cricket, Pandey, however, asserts that Dhoni's brand value will continue.
The Pepsi brand is all about GenNext and that it is what the brand is driving at as it chooses younger icons to represent it. As younger icons come on the scene, they replace the earlier ones who have matured. "For the average youngster, Virat Kohli is the role model now," says Alpana Parida, Managing Director, DY Works, a Mumbai-based brand strategy and brand design.
She feels that anyone who is doing well and is a celebrity in his or her field, will be the person in demand for advertisements and brand endorsements. As icons age and are past their hey days, they get replaced by the next well-performing youngster. Parida says that like cine actress Madhuri Dixit who has made a comeback with advertisements unlike anyone of her generation, Dhoni can and should make himself relevant in brands that will reflect and resonate his value as well.
Though Dhoni's earnings from endorsements have come down considerably, it does not reflect poorly on the cricketer. Pandey and Parida say that this is the time for Dhoni to reinvent himself. Pandey who has worked with Dhoni in advertisements finds him a 'very good actor', and a respected individual. "I feel, like Mr Bachchan, Dhoni should reinvent himself. As his child grows, you may see Dhoni as a parent in advertisements," says Pandey. Perhaps.

Behind The Scenes Of Lil Wayne's "Young Money Radio" Show With Apple Music's Larry Jackson
June 13, 2020 in Latest News
Lil Wayne's "Young Money Radio" show, which airs every Friday afternoon at 4PM PST, is now eight episodes in and it's getting stronger and stronger.
According to Apple Music's global creative director, Larry Jackson, this radio show with Tunechi was always going to happen even before COVID-19 became a thing. "Young Money Radio" was originally going to be taped weekly at Culver City studios in Los Angeles, but due to the coronavirus, Larry set Tune up to broadcast from his private studio in Miami.
"We're No. 1 in hip-hop. Artists like Wayne, Drake, Travis, Future, Post Malone, Kanye all do really well on the service. To be sure: Drake's 'Scorpion' holds the biggest first-week streams tally of any album on Apple Music. In second place: Wayne's 'Carter V.' It was a natural if I could work it out to get Wayne to deliver the show."
To date, Weezy has chopped it up with guests such as Dr. Dre, Drake, Eminem, Jamie Foxx, Kevin Durant, Kevin Hart, LaToya Cantrell, Mike Tyson, Muriel Bowser, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, and plenty more on "Young Money Radio". Jackson reveals to Variety that his dream guest was Dr. Anthony Fauci and his pitch to get the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases on the radio show went something like:
"I know you don't know me, I know you haven't even heard of this show, but it's become a real roaring success for us on Apple Music. We're the No. 1 streaming service in Black music, and our community needs to hear what you have to say. They're not on CNN; they're not on 'Good Morning America'; they're not on the 'Today Show,' but they are on Young Money Radio. I promise you if you come on the show, it'll have true resonance with the community."

Charlie, aged 17
Posted on July 13, 2018 by Brian — No Comments ↓
In April this year, 17-year-old Charlie Harris (top) took his life.
On Wednesday, an inquest at Avon Coroner's Court heard that Charlie had grown up in a stable family home and was close to his parents and brother. He loved playing sports and spending time in the gym, becoming an outstanding rugby player for Keynsham, his local club.
But his father Neal told the court in a statement that Charlie suffered problems getting to sleep. He had been staying up late and sleeping into the mornings, sometimes missing school.
In February this year, Charlie took an overdose and was rushed to hospital.
Three days after leaving hospital, Charlie started with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), who saw him every week. Over the next month and a half, his condition went up and down, and he was diagnosed with depression. In fact, doctors at CAMHS came to the conclusion that Charlie must have had undiagnosed depression, something that had been unknown to his family, as he had "suppressed it for many years".
After this retrospective diagnosis, it is no surprise that the doctors then decided that Charlie should be given antidepressants, even though there is a heightened risk of suicidal ideation when prescribed to children.
But what is extraordinary is that these doctors also decided to prescribe him Zopiclone, a powerful sedative which has officially been classified as unsuitable for children: "Zopiclone should not be used in children and adolescents less than 18 years. The safety and efficacy of Zopiclone in children and adolescents aged less than 18 years have not been established."
Dr Georgia Bailey from CAMHS told the court that Charlie was thought to be improving. He was presenting well to the psychiatric team, and started CBT on the day before his death.
Dr Bailey said: "I noticed he engaged really well and thought really hard to think about goals and things he wanted to achieve. He came up with a number of goals. We also talked about depression as an illness. He had never seen it as an illness before, and he wanted to understand and learn more about it."
In the early hours of Saturday April 21st this year, Charlie left a casino in Bristol city centre and ordered a taxi to Clifton Suspension Bridge. A bridge attendant tried in vain to stop him.
In his conclusion, coroner Terence Moore ignored the reckless prescribing of inappropriate drugs, saying: "From the evidence it appears he had been suffering from unrecognised depression for some time. Prior to that, he was trying to cope on his own."
He recorded a conclusion of suicide.

Science : Dozing echidnas sleep like newborn babies
By ROSIE MESTEL
ROAMING about Australia are primitive mammals whose sleep patterns resemble
those of newborn humans. Researchers in California and Australia believe this
form of sleep represents a neurological "fossil".
Echidnas belong to a group called the monotremes, or egg-laying mammals. They
do not show clear phases of deep sleep and rapid-eye-movement (REM) sleep like
other mammals. Instead, they have just one, presumably primitive, form of sleep
that looks like a combination of the two.
This finding, published in the 15 May issue of The Journal of
Neuroscience (vol 16, p 3500), comes from a study by Jerry Siegel of the
University of California, Los Angeles, and his colleagues at the University of
Queensland in Brisbane. They worked on short-beaked echidnas, Tachyglossus
aculeatus, among the most primitive mammals known, to learn more about the
origins of mammalian sleep.
The researchers used electroencephalographs (EEGs) to measure brainwaves in
the cortices of three sleeping echidnas, and also stuck electrodes in the
animals' brainstems, at the top of their spinal cords, to record the activity of
individual nerve cells.
In higher mammals, brainstem cells fire intensely during REM sleep and are
quiet during deep sleep. Brainwaves in the cortex also differ in frequency and
voltage between REM and deep sleep. In sleeping echidnas, however, the firing of
brainstem cells was similar to that in REM sleep throughout, while the
brainwaves in the cortex were similar to those found in deep sleep.
Nobody knows for sure the functions of deep sleep and REM sleep, the phase
during which we dream. But Siegel and his colleagues argue that these distinct
sleep phases evolved from the primitive, uniform type of sleep found in the
echidna.
So why have higher mammals separated sleep into distinct phases? Siegel
speculates that the firing of brainstem nerves is vital to keep the brain
"ticking over", so that an animal can awake from its slumber. But this brainstem
firing requires a lot of energy. "Organisms may have an advantage if they can
spend at least part of the time they're asleep with these neurons shut off,"
Siegel says. He believes that the distinction between REM and deep sleep may
simply be an energy-saving device.
Siegel notes that the sleep of newborn babies looks remarkably like that of
an echidna. "Perhaps what we're seeing in our newborns is a replay of an older
evolutionary sleep state," he says.

I've always loved the original SUPERHOT game.
It's an interesting and quirky idea thrown on top of the FPS genre, which has always been touted as being somewhat stale and unimaginative. It was no surprise, then, that during our coverage of E3 last year, I was excited to cover news of SUPERHOT VR's announcement. A little while later, here we are with the game released, so how does it play?
In a word, sweaty. In another word, fun. In three words, I was tired. While SUPERHOT VR is incredibly enjoyable and engaging to play, do not underestimate the workout routine ahead of you. Even though the bullets are moving slowly, you're still contorting yourself like Neo from The Matrix. I only played for an hour or two until I finished the main story mode, but that was enough to have me lying on the floor for the next 15 minutes recuperating my energy levels.
SUPERHOT VR plays exactly how you would imagine. You can grab weapons off of enemies close by, you can use your fists to knock enemies out, and of course the guns are fun to wield and aim. They shoot a lot faster compared to the standard version of SUPERHOT; whereas gun had a cooldown timer inbetween each shot before, the VR version allows much quicker shooting to deter any sense of disconnect between firing and being able to fire.
Throwing weapons and discarding held items is a much more skillful affair in the sense that you must now both aim and release things very accurately through literal physical movements and not just aiming a crosshair and pressing a button. Throwing shuriken and other objects is very difficult, but it's satisfying once you work out the motions. In one level, I was starting off by simultaneously throwing two glass bottles to each of my sides to take out two goons, before grabbing both of their pistols in mid-air and raining akimbo-hell on the shotgunner rushing me from the front. I've never felt so cool in a video game before in my life.
What's really behind this rush of adrenaline is that (a) time slows down as you move slowly, so you feel as if you have super-reflexes (despite you actually just flailing body parts awkwardly and slowly around in your living room at 4 in the morning), and (b) you're doing it all yourself which adds credibility over a mouse/keyboard/controller.
Assuming you can keep your nerves in check and not twitch around and flinch nervously, causing SUPERHOT VR to sporadically and violently advance time in bursts, you can plan and perfect each scenario like an impeccably choreographed dance routine. It's like being able to be both John Wick and Neo at once. You can have your cake, eat it, and then be offered seconds.
I can't stress how much fun SUPERHOT VR is when you become fully immersed. If you can suspend disbelief and put yourself in the situations the game throws you in, then this is the ultimate cool-dude, slow-motion action shooter flick simulator you can get your greasy mitts on. The original game gave you that excitement to begin with, but now you're carrying out the actions yourself, and feel awesome doing it.
SUPERHOT VR doesn't trim anything down or simplify anything – it's all present and accounted for, and delivers the exact same experience, but for VR. The levels of the game are pretty much identical as the original; and you still have challenge modes after you complete the game, so you can speed-run or one-life the game in a newgame+ type of playthrough. I think it's good that the core game hasn't changed, as it was brilliant in its original state.
To be honest, I think this may be my favourite VR game right now. Anything with dodging or quick movement and precise melee combat (and guns) gets my excitement building and blood pumping – I really enjoy Sword Master VR because of the same sort of dexterous movement. I think SUPERHOT VR takes the crown for this VR genre right now though, thanks to its unique, scripted situations and the fact it offers plenty of tools and options to tackle each one. If you have only enough money left over after buying a VR headset for one game, consider SUPERHOT VR to be one of them. It's perhaps a brief experience if you don't enjoy re-playing the levels, perfecting your dance routine and engaging with the challenge modes, but the price reflects that.
SUPERHOT VR is available on PC. We reviewed it with a HTC Vive headset.

Ben Crandell of IMG is one of the top up and coming tennis agents in the world. He already represent young American star Ryan Harrison and Russian Vera Zvonareva. He added 17 year old Liam Broady of Great Britain to his stable.
When Crandell calls or texts Broady, his young client picks up the phone.
On Saturday Crandell texted Broady and told him that Rafael Nadal wanted to hit with him on Saturday morning in Ashe before his match with Andy Murray. Tough to say no to either Crandell or Nadal. The young Brit answered with a resounding yes and there he was at 11:15,a scant 45 minutes before Roger Federer was to take on Novak Djokovic, hitting on Ashe in front of a few thousand early arriving fans. Broady looked liked he belonged.
He hit with Nadal at Wimbledon this year and has hit with his idol, Andy Murray.
Broady won the 2010 Junior doubles at Wimbledon with fellow Brit, Tom Farquharson.
Broady fell in the Junior Singles and Doubles at the Open this year, his last year of playing junior events.
He enjoys playing in the States and especially enjoys watching American football and the Steelers. he finds baseball to be boring.
His goal, as that of many juniors is to be no. 1 in the world, but he will take top 10. Based on the company he keeps,it may not take too long.

Q: SQL Server COUNT multiple tables returns WRONG RESULT Here are the tables:
from Accounts AS acc
AccountName
-------------
Account #1
Account #3
Account #2

from Divisions as div joined with Accounts
AccountName DivisionName
----------- ---------------------------
Account #1  Division TWO for Account #1
Account #1  Division ONE for Account #1

from AccountSuppliers as acc_sup (a many-to-many join)
AccountName SupplierName
----------- ------------
Account #1  Supplier #6
Account #1  Supplier #1
Account #1  Supplier #3
Account #2  Supplier #1
Account #2  Supplier #2

Here is the query:
SELECT
    acc.AccountName,
    COUNT(div.AccountId) AS CountDivisions,
    COUNT(acc_sup.AccountId) AS CountSuppliers
FROM
    Account AS acc
LEFT JOIN
    Division AS div ON (div.AccountId = acc.Id)
LEFT JOIN
    AccountSupplier AS acc_sup ON (acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id)
GROUP BY
    acc.AccountName

And here is the result:
AccountName CountDivisions  CountSuppliers
----------- --------------- --------------
Account #1  6               6
Account #2  0               2
Account #3  0               0

Which SHOULD be:
AccountName CountDivisions  CountSuppliers
----------- --------------- --------------
Account #1  2               3
Account #2  0               2
Account #3  0               0

Note how adding the DISTINCT keyword ALSO produces a strange result:
SELECT
    acc.AccountName,
    COUNT(DISTINCT div.AccountId) AS CountDivisions,
    COUNT(DISTINCT acc_sup.AccountId) AS CountSuppliers
FROM
    Account AS acc
LEFT JOIN
    Division AS div ON (div.AccountId = acc.Id)
LEFT JOIN
    AccountSupplier AS acc_sup ON (acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id)
GROUP BY
    acc.AccountName

produces:
AccountName CountDivisions  CountSuppliers
----------- --------------- --------------
Account #1  1               1
Account #2  0               1
Account #3  0               0

HUH? I'm probably overlooking something simple, but this result is clearly incorrect.  Could someone suggest the proper way for me to write this query to get the correct result?
Thanks!

A: Just add DISTINCT where you want to count unique values:
SELECT acc.AccountName,
COUNT(DISTINCT div.AccountId) AS CountDivisions,
COUNT(DISTINCT acc_sup.AccountId) AS CountSuppliers
FROM Account AS acc
LEFT JOIN Division AS div ON (div.AccountId = acc.Id)
LEFT JOIN AccountSupplier AS acc_sup ON (acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id)
GROUP BY acc.AccountName, div.AccountId, acc_sup.AccountId

A: you can use distinct keyword in count statemetns
SELECT acc.AccountName,
COUNT(distinct div.AccountId) AS CountDivisions,
COUNT(distinct acc_sup.AccountId) AS CountSuppliers
FROM Account AS acc
LEFT JOIN Division AS div ON (div.AccountId = acc.Id)
LEFT JOIN AccountSupplier AS acc_sup ON (acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id)
GROUP BY acc.AccountName

or More Resource efficient way:
 SELECT
   acc.AccountName,
   (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Division where div.AccountId = acc.Id) CountDivisions,
   (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM AccountSupplier WHERE acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id) AS CountSuppliers
 FROM aCCOUNT AS acc

A: The issue within the query causing the incorrect result is that you asked to count the wrong field.
SELECT
    acc.AccountName,
    COUNT(div.AccountId) AS CountDivisions,
    COUNT(acc_sup.AccountId) AS CountSuppliers
FROM
    Account AS acc
LEFT JOIN
    Division AS div ON (div.AccountId = acc.Id)
LEFT JOIN
    AccountSupplier AS acc_sup ON (acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id)
GROUP BY
    acc.AccountName

When the count is changed to be COUNT(DISTINCT div.AccountId) AS CountDivisions, - div.AccountID is the field being used in the join, so it would be an identical value for each row within the group - counting those distinct values would of course be just 1 no matter how many matched.
The count should be on a unique field within the child table, assuming you have an ID field it would be as follows:
SELECT
    acc.AccountName,
    COUNT(DISTINCT div.Id) AS CountDivisions,
    COUNT(DISTINCT acc_sup.Id) AS CountSuppliers
FROM
    Account AS acc
LEFT JOIN
    Division AS div ON (div.AccountId = acc.Id)
LEFT JOIN
    AccountSupplier AS acc_sup ON (acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id)
GROUP BY
    acc.AccountName

A: You were very close. You just missed the column you needed to count the aggregation from.
Based on your setup data, let's look at the data that we'll be working with from the given query. We want to use LEFT OUTER JOINs because we want to count all of the AccountNames even if there aren't any DivisionNames or SupplierNames. We'll get null for those, which converts to a count of 0.
So:

SELECT *
FROM Account acc
LEFT JOIN Division div ON (div.AccountId = acc.Id)
LEFT JOIN AccountSupplier acc_sup ON (acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id)  ;

Gives us:

id | AccountName | accountID | DivisionName | accountID | SupplierName
-: | :---------- | --------: | :----------- | --------: | :-----------
 1 | Acct1       |         1 | Div2         |         1 | Supplier6
 1 | Acct1       |         1 | Div2         |         1 | Supplier1
 1 | Acct1       |         1 | Div2         |         1 | Supplier3
 1 | Acct1       |         1 | Div1         |         1 | Supplier6
 1 | Acct1       |         1 | Div1         |         1 | Supplier1
 1 | Acct1       |         1 | Div1         |         1 | Supplier3
 2 | Acct2       |      null | null         |         2 | Supplier1
 2 | Acct2       |      null | null         |         2 | Supplier2
 3 | Acct3       |      null | null         |      null | null

With that, we can verify that our counts are working correctly, (keeping in mind that null has some limitations in how math can be applied to it).
With that, we can see that there are only two distinct DivisionNames for Acct1 and none for the others. And 3 distinct SupplierNames for Acct1, 2 for Acct2 and none for Acct3. That kinda gives us a plain-language explanation of what we need to do. We need distinct name for Divisions and Suppliers.
So:

SELECT
    acc.AccountName,
    COUNT(DISTINCT div.DivisionName) AS CountDivisions,
    COUNT(DISTINCT acc_sup.SupplierName) AS CountSuppliers
FROM Account acc
LEFT JOIN Division div ON div.AccountId = acc.Id
LEFT JOIN AccountSupplier acc_sup ON acc_sup.AccountId = acc.Id
GROUP BY acc.AccountName ;

This gives us the counts we were expecting:

AccountName | CountDivisions | CountSuppliers
:---------- | -------------: | -------------:
Acct1       |              2 |              3
Acct2       |              0 |              2
Acct3       |              0 |              0

To continue on with our exploring of what goes into a patio, the first and the most important is the foundation.
The first couple I want to mention are slab and raised.
Slab is poured concrete plain and simple. Gives a very solid place to entertain and is easy to maintain. The concrete can be colored a variety of colors to add some splash to the patio.
Raised patios can be several inches to a few feet above ground and there are several ways to do this. A retaining wall or a tall frame can be used to contain the concrete or dry-laid pavers. They can also be made with wood, these are also referred to as decks.
Opting to put the patio on ground level you can use the dry-laid or mortaring method.
Dry-laid involves some excavating, drainage, laying a sand bed and finally laying the stones or bricks.
Mortaring, similar to dry-laying, holds the bricks or stones more permanently into place. The process is the same but the benefit of mortaring is no sinking, gaps and a smoother surface.
Please check back as we continue our explanation with patios.
