Bonino's strong start has helped surging Canucks
By Ryan DadounNov 20, 2014, 8:57 AM EST
Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Kesler's return to Vancouver is the main storyline going into tonight's game, but of course the Ducks had to surrender a number of assets to acquire him. So while he'll get the spotlight, this is also a chance to take a look at the other players involved in the trade and on the Canucks' side, Nick Bonino has stood out.
After breaking out last season with 22 goals and 49 points in 77 games with the Ducks, Bonino has seven goals and eight assists in his first 19 contests in 2014-15. The 26-year-old center has been one of the Canucks' top offensive threats along with Radim Vrbata and the Sedin twins.
"He (Bonino) is a real good offensive player, he's got a great stick, he sees the ice real well," said Canucks head coach Willie Desjardins, per the Edmonton Sun. "He's been good for us in that way, but he's played well defensively for us as well. He's not just a one-way guy, he's been playing hard both ways."
His strong play has helped the Canucks deal with the loss of Kesler, who is having a great campaign as well, but Bonino's been just one part of the Canucks' surprising 13-6-0 start to the season. With a regulation-time win tonight, Vancouver would move ahead of Anaheim in the Pacific Division standings, which is certainly not something Kesler would have predicted going into this season.
The Canucks and Ducks previously played each other on Nov. 9 in Anaheim. That contest came down to a shootout with Nick Bonino scoring the deciding goal and Ryan Kesler coming up short. We'll see if one of them is the difference again tonight.

Monika Emilia Sadkowska is een Pools klimaatactiviste.

Biografie
Sadkowksa woont in Warschau en behaalde in 2013 een bachelor in "cultureel management" aan de SGH handelshogeschool van Warschau en vervolgens een master in Cultuurwetenschappen aan de Universiteit van Warschau. Van 2008 tot 2011 was ze zangeres bij de Poolse rockband Żywiołak.

Activisme
Sadkowska begon als activiste in 2016 en was in de zomer van 2018 mede-organisator van het eerste "klimaatkamp" in Polen, in Świętno, dat 400 deelnemers telde. Het kamp was enerzijds bedoeld om de publieke aandacht te vestigen op de ingrijpende effecten van steenkoolwinning, anderzijds mobiliseerde het mensen om samen te werken.

Vanaf juli 2019 was ze woordvoerster voor de campagne ClientEarth en vanaf februari 2021 is ze coördinator voor het secretariaat van het  Forum of Mayors for Just Transition van de WWF Polen. Op dit forum wisselen burgemeesters informatie en ervaringen uit over het proces van hun stad om steenkool als energiebron te vervangen.

Scott Eastwood Features In DAVIDOFF Love The Ocean Campaign
The first fragrance to be inspired by the ocean, DAVIDOFF Cool Water is now leading the way to help protect the ocean.
Scott Eastwood and volunteer kids
This summer, the brand is releasing a new film featuring its ambassador Scott Eastwood. The message of the film is a call to action to safeguard one of the world's most precious natural resources — but also one of its most endangered. The film is an extension of DAVIDOFF Cool Water's long-standing Love the Ocean campaign in support of the National Geographic Society's Pristine Seas project, which aims to protect 10% of the world's ocean by 2020.
The new film, which will be released on July 1, 2016, and screened across a wide range of digital platforms, steps up the Love the Ocean initiative with an individual call to action. The film's aim is to convince each and every one of us that we can make a difference. "As individuals, we have more power to change the world than we think," says Scott Eastwood, who — having been born in California and raised in Hawaii — feels a special connection to the ocean.
Video: DAVIDOFF Cool Water Love the Ocean, Take action to protect the Ocean - The Sneak Peeks
Shot near the actor's home in San Diego, the DAVIDOFF Cool Water film highlights Scott Eastwood's concern for ocean conservation and his commitment to fighting water pollution issues. It also features a beach clean-up organized in partnership with the National Geographic Society and the Surfrider Foundation. Given that 80 percent of pollution in the marine environment comes from land and that by 2050 current estimates indicate that the ocean will contain more plastic than fish when measured by weight, beach clean-ups are one way — along with simple lifestyle changes — that individuals can take action. According to Shah Selbe, National Geographic Explorer: "Even a single person can make a massive amount of difference when it comes to ocean conservation."
FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE GLOBAL
By extending its Love the Ocean initiative with an individual call to action, DAVIDOFF Cool Water aims to complement the impressive progress being achieved on a global scale by the National Geographic Society's Pristine Seas project. Since 2012, DAVIDOFF Cool Water has supported 14 Pristine Seas expeditions, which informed the establishment of five marine protected areas, totalling 1,713,518 square kilometres or 2.18% of the world's ocean.

The inspiring message of the film is that we all have a part to play — which is why, throughout summer 2016, DAVIDOFF Cool Water will be promoting beach clean-ups in key countries, encouraging individuals, wherever they may be, to demonstrate their love for the ocean and to contribute to change. As Scott Eastwood says at the end of the film: "It starts with one — one hour of your time, one day, one piece of trash."
ABOUT THE LOVE THE OCEAN INITIATIVE
DAVIDOFF Cool Water has a long-standing partnership with the National Geographic Society's Pristine Seas project — which involves scientific expeditions to explore and document fragile marine environments across the globe. Every year, DAVIDOFF Cool Water mobilizes its millions of loyal users worldwide around the Love the Ocean initiative, with the commitment that each bottle of DAVIDOFF Cool Water sold will help protect 10,000 square metres (more than 100,000 square feet) of ocean.

C. P. Fitzgerald's History of China made Chinese history fascinating for Brasch. In June 1953, while managing the running of Modern Books in Dunedin, he extended his interest by reading Arthur Waley's Chinese Poems. Waley (1889-1966) was a noted English Orientalist and Sinologist. Although Waley never visited the Far East, he introduced and influenced a whole generation of readers to the delights of Japanese and Chinese literatures. 'The Politician' was one poem Brasch marked up in the contents page.
In early January 1952, Brasch read Elio Vittorini's Conversation in Sicily, which he described as 'a poetical & suggestive book but without the substance of poetry.' In March 1953, while at Amberley, a freak surfboard accident ripped his stomach muscles. Only on 21 December 1953 did he enter Mater Hospital to have an operation to repair them. He described the pre-operation requirements of a shaved belly and groin as leaving 'one hideous as a plucked chicken.' Some of his reading material included Andrew Marvell's Poems and this copy of Peter Quennell's Spring in Sicily.
Brasch occasionally read New Zealand historical works. One such title was Lady Barker's Station Life in New Zealand, which he started on Christmas Day 1953, after being discharged from hospital. Told to relax, Brasch sat out on the balcony of his house and read this Whitcombe and Tombs reprint of Barker's classic account of life in Canterbury, which first appeared in 1870. He found it 'delightful because so alive & full of enjoyment.' He also made a few jottings, which included 'independence of the people in NZ' and 'intellectual interests in NZ'.

Q: Parse.com one-to-many relationship in Android I have problem with android implementation one-to-many relationship in Parse.com. I am trying to save relation between Category and Questions using pointers. I can get pointers (IDs of Question) but I don't know how to get the data they are pointing to. Is there any method to get them or do I have to call query on Questions class (with ID of Question I get from Cathegory class) ?
My code for saving relation:
            Question q1 = new Question("How much money cost new Skoda Fabia?", "300 " +
                    "000kc", "200 000kc", "100 000kc", "50 000kc");
            q1.saveInBackground();
            Question q2 = new Question("How much money cost new Skoda Felicia?", "300 " +
                    "000kc", "200 000kc", "100 000kc", "150 000kc");
            q2.saveInBackground();
            Question q3 = new Question("How much money cost new Skoda Octavia?", "500 " +
                    "000kc", "150 000kc", "100 000kc", "50 000kc");
            q3.saveInBackground();

            ArrayList<Question> questionArrayList = new ArrayList<>();
            questionArrayList.add(q1);
            questionArrayList.add(q2);
            questionArrayList.add(q3);

            ParseObject parseObject = new ParseObject("Cathegory");
            parseObject.put("Auto", questionArrayList);
            parseObject.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
                @Override
                public void done(ParseException e) {
                    Log.d(TAG, "Save was sucesfully");
                    Log.d(TAG, "error was ? : " + (e == null ? "none" : e.getMessage()));
                }
            });

after calling this I get this model in Parse.com :
Category class

Question class

The code for retrieving data I have written so far:
   ParseQuery<ParseObject> parseQuery = ParseQuery.getQuery("Cathegory");
            parseQuery.getFirstInBackground(new GetCallback<ParseObject>() {
                @Override
                public void done(ParseObject parseObject, ParseException e) {
                    List<Question> questionList = parseObject.getList("Auto");
                    //I have IDs of Question in questionList
                    for(Question q : questionList){
                        q.fetchIfNeededInBackground(new GetCallback<ParseObject>() {
                            @Override
                            public void done(ParseObject parseObject, ParseException e) {
                                //Still not have all information about Question (just ID)
                                Log.d(TAG,"Data parseObject retrieved");
                            }
                        });
                    }
                    Log.d(TAG,"Data retrieved");
                }
            });

A: I resolve this by not using List but only simple pointer which is pointing from Question to Category (above is opposite)
and then I simply create Category
 Category sports = new Category("Sports");
 ...
 sports.save();

and then I use this Category as parameter in Question function
 setCategory(Category cat){
      put("IdCategory",cat);
 }

and I don't know how to use it in Android but I am using Cloud Code (JavaScript) and it looks like this :
 queryOnQuestion.equalTo("IdCategory", {
                                __type: "Pointer",
                                className: "Category",
                                objectId: allowedCat.get("IdCategory").id
                                });

And I hope that Android will be look similar. In worst case you can define cloud function with this part of code.
Hope that help somebody.

The Electric network frequency (ENF) signal is a unique signal for different parts of the world. It is captured by electric devices, and can be used in authentication and automatic synchronization of digital media recordings. In this paper we propose an algorithm to extract ENF from power and audio recordings, and use ENF criterion to identify the region-of-recording. We also propose a design of a circuit to record the electrical power grid.

Power grids are available all over the world for their necessity in all our everyday activities. Each power grid has its own electrical network frequency pattern which is considered as a signature or a finger print of this power grid. Any audio/video recorded in a power grid, whether directly connected to the power mains or not, is affected by the ENF signature of this grid. Post processing could take place to extract the ENF pattern from recordings which can be used in localization of different media signals recorded among grids.

At the intersection of signal processing and information forensics, the Signal Processing Cup 2016 global competition has explored a time-varying location-dependent signature of power grids that can be intrinsically captured in media recordings. This signature is called the Electric Network Frequency (ENF) signals. Throughout the SP Cup 2016 competition, participants were provided with multiple training, practice, and testing datasets that consisted of recordings made in different grids and containing ENF traces.

Nathaniel Chalobah graced the turf at Old Trafford on the final day of the season, as he made his return to the Watford line up for the first time since mid-September.
Despite eight months on the sidelines and just six appearances for the Hornets this season, the 23-year-old midfielder has staked his claim to be the next Watford captain, and the future of the club.
A fractured kneecap suffered in a training session just a month into this campaign has kept the youngster out of contention of the Watford line up and on the international scene, but the future could see Chalobah reach the very top.
The versatile middle man will certainly be a mainstay in the starting XI at Vicarage Road next season, and has what it takes to lead the Yellow Army in the future.
Whether it be sitting just in front of the defensive line, or pushing forward and playing the decisive passes to the forward outlets, Chalobah's capabilities on the ball are endless.
Neat touches, crucial interceptions and a commanding voice in the middle of the park are the features that a modern day captain must possess, and Chalobah has it all at the age of just 23.
The Sierra Leone born midfielder moved to England at the age of seven, joining the Chelsea youth academy three years later.
Chalobah spent 12 years on the books at Stamford Bridge, playing at all age levels, and ended his tenure with ten senior team appearances for the Chelsea first team, even receiving a Premier League winner's medal during the 2016/17 season.
The defensive midfielder had six loan spells away from Chelsea at Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Burnley, Reading and Napoli, as well as his first loan move to current employers Watford back in 2012, aged just 17.
Nathaniel Chalobah man has vast experience at international level, despite never making a senior England appearance, currently sat three appearances shy of a century.
Having played at multiple youth levels, including 40 appearances for the England Under-21 squad, making him the second most capped England Under-21 player of all time behind James Milner, the former Chelsea man has had plenty of involvement over the years.
Current England boss Gareth Southgate, who managed Chalobah at Under-21 level, gave the young midfielder his first England senior call up in August 2017 for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Malta and Slovakia, but didn't make an appearance.
Watford have invested in an English core to their side in recent years, with the purchase of Chalobah, Will Hughes, Tom Cleverley in midfield and Andre Gray partnering Troy Deeney in front of goal.
Much different to Chalobah's first spell at Vicarage Road, he now finds himself around fellow countrymen, who can help him along the way to being a Watford great.
Whatever the future holds for Nathaniel Chalobah, he is certain to be a starter for the Hornets next season. If and when Watford's current leader Troy Deeney does depart the club, the path is set for the young midfielder to pull the arm band on and lead his side out at Vicarage Road for years to come.

At a recent conference, I overheard two reliability engineers discussing whether or not the correct term was Industry 4.0 or Industrie 4.0. Toe-mato or Ta-moto. They queried their colleague who just walked up on his thoughts. Pondering the question, he asked, "Can either of you explain to me what Industry/Industrie 4.0 is anyway?" The two engineers then set off on giving their opinions, quite differently I might add, on what the term meant. I later came to find out the third person was a Director of Maintenance and what he was really trying to figure out was Why Should I Care About Industry 4.0?
It may seem obvious, but it is worth restating, even if you don't know the exact definition, that the wave of Industry 4.0 (we will use that term interchangeably with Industrie 4.0), is sweeping across our manufacturing sectors and it will, can and should impact the way organizations view their maintenance processes.
So, let's start from a definition standpoint.
Ask for a quick definition and you quickly realize that there is no quick definition – other than Industry 4.0 represents the 4th Industrial Revolution behind 1) The invention of steam/water powered machines 2) Use of Electricity enabling the assembly line and 3) Rise of computers/robotics/intranet/internet allowing automation in manufacturing. With Industry 4.0, we move from previously embedded systems to cyber-physical systems, lnternet of Things, Cloud Computing and Cognitive computing. Simple, right?
Though the focus for Industry 4.0 is primarily in gaining insights and improvements in design/quality/yield/product lifecycle for manufacturing of product, there is growing realization that it is maintenance that can take advantage of these disruptions. That maintenance of the company's assets is an essential part of leveraging the components of Industry 4.0 to impact one's organization.
McKinsey does a nice job of summarizing the components or "levers" as they call them, and the value they deliver for an organization. The over arching reach of Industry 4.0 on a manufactures' operation and where maintenance fits into the criticality of this strategy, can be viewed in the digital compass example below.
The Acatech Industry 4.0 Maturity Index does a great job of revealing the various gates that are associated with implementing an Industry 4.0 strategy.
Many companies have in place the "digitalization" piece of the process – their plant floors having been automated (robotics, CNC machines, etc…) or upgraded with new equipment or sensors. The challenge is how to make the data that is being produced visible. For maintenance operations, gaining visibility to that data is the critical starting point for Industry 4.0. Connected Maintenance achieves that visibility and provides the ability to catch problems before they are catastrophic. It can be further enhanced with Augmented Reality (AR) to create the Digital Twin of the asset to provide real-time asset performance in a format the technician can easily digest, not to mention the visual training aids and improvements the technology provides.
With this new found Visibility, you can then move forward to the next phase which is Transparency which represents true condition based monitoring of your assets. This monitoring is needed to move into Predictive Capacity in which you begin to not only predict failures, but potentially begin to run simulations on your Digital Twin to determine how changing variables will impact the performance of your asset. The final stage is Adaptability – where the organization can then make actual changes to processes based on the multiple inputs weighed against cost/benefit analysis.
It is easy for one to become paralyzed by the onslaught of available technology and the tremendous benefits, both real and envisioned, that Industry 4.0. promises. So where do you start? Keep in mind that as maintenance professionals, the information your teams are collecting about your day to day work is the foundation in which advanced analytics, as well as machine learning, will derive its value. That means, consistent collection of: problem, fault, remedy codes, application of job plans to work orders, resources (internal/external, tools, inventory)…are more critical than ever. In the past you may have lacked manpower, time or expertise to make correlations about all of this information – so it only mattered if you kept the asset running or got it repaired quickly. Going forward, analytics and machine learning can make those correlations for you to do the 3 P's of Maintenance – Prevent, Predict and Prescribe. But it needs information to do that.

How 4IR is encouraging the development of people, not just machines
In the 4IR age, the most successful manufacturers will focus on developing both people and technology.

New manufacturing opportunities are expected to create 133 million jobs in the next four years due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), but an estimated 75 million jobs are likely to be lost to technology development at the same time.
Manufacturers must prioritise their people and their technology to thrive in the 4IR age.
Emerging best practice in this area involves attracting and engaging with talent, and working with third parties to develop the skills of both current and future employees, as well as third parties such as suppliers.
We live in one the most exciting ages ever – the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). Digital transformation, and technology more broadly, increasingly form an integral part of life, giving humanity a unique opportunity to rethink and redesign the way they source, produce, deliver, and consume. And this is not only to boost productivity and growth, but also to generate new value for workers, society and the environment.
Manufacturing accounts for about 22% of global employment, yet the majority of manufacturing companies still lack a clear strategy on how best to equip their workforce with the required capabilities for this new age. The 4IR could lead to the displacement of an estimated 75 million jobs worldwide in the next four years. At the same time, it is expected that new opportunities could create 133 million new jobs – a net positive of 58 million new 4IR roles by 2022.
How fourth industrial revolution tech helped companies survive the COVID crisis
3 reasons manufacturing in 2021 will focus on connecting workers
New manufacturing jobs and automation aren't mutually exclusive. Here's why
So, how can organizations thrive in the age of the 4IR? The answer is simple: the future of manufacturing is not just about technology, it's about developing both technology and people. Here are three manufacturing best practices that optimize both the skills of people and the use of machines:
1) Talent attraction and engagement
While technology has made everything more efficient, it is usually by adding a mix of talent and skills that companies are successful. All systems, processes and technologies fall flat when we don't have the right people to work with them. Now, more than ever, organizations need to hire the best talent available and build a strong employer brand. Moreover, companies need to actively engage their employees in the design and implementation of their digital strategies – from senior management to shopfloor staff. This will ease technology adoption throughout the organization, rather than pushing through acceptance of new systems and tools from the top down.
When brewing company Heineken wanted to highlight the importance it places on its people, it created a series of videos featuring the stories of current Heineken employees that work in a variety of positions and locations. The intent and effect of the campaign was to show that the brand revolves around the unique personalities and ambitions of the employees.
General Electric (GE) also repositioned itself as a digital industrial company with an employer branding strategy using modern commercials. One of these videos, "What if Millie Dresselhaus, Female Scientist, Was Treated Like a Celebrity?", attracted lots of social media views and engagement for the multinational conglomerate.
Manufacturing skills can have a short life cycle of about 5 years. This means the skills workers learnt a decade ago have most likely become obsolete as companies try to deploy digital transformation strategies. Organizations need to invest in providing continuous learning opportunities to upskill and reskill their employees. This should also drive a cross-company mindset change and take cross-team collaboration to new levels.
For example, Indian steel producer Tata Steel Kalinganagar (TSK) has developed a highly sophisticated training strategy as part of its aspiration to transform into what it calls a "self-sustaining digital organization". TSK believes digital will become a "way of life" and crucial to all transformations in coming years. To ensure it has the necessary human resources, the organization has developed a three-pronged, integrated approach for employee capability-building using a combination of academies, experiential learning on projects and self-learning modules.
3) Strengthening supply networks
Forget about departments working in silos. Due to the complexity of the new disruptions that manufacturing companies will continue to face in this new age – from pandemics to climate change – no organization can work alone anymore. Bringing suppliers on board and developing support skills across the entire supply network is going to be critical as companies transform value chains end-to-end and develop new customer experiences.
Establishing a new degree of collaboration and integration at a network level enables the sharing of best practice, accelerating the learning curve and helping organizations thrive together. Collaboration with other actors outside the ecosystem will also play a critical role going forward, for example engaging with research institutions or governments to support talent development efforts.
"Establishing a new degree of collaboration and integration at a network level enables the sharing of best practice, accelerating the learning curve and helping organizations thrive together."
—Francisco Betti, WEF & Radu Palamariu, Alcott Global
Tool manufacturer Stanley Black & Decker for example, hosts local high school teachers during the summer holiday break. By working with those teaching subjects related to its industry, it can support workplace learning by providing direct experience about trends, skill requirements, new technologies and opportunities.
This initiative enriches and strengthens their teaching, making it more relevant to students' potential college and career choices. During these month-long externships, teachers shadow the Stanley Black & Decker Industry 4.0 team as they deploy digital technologies across their global manufacturing network. These teachers gain exposure to supply-chain and distribution operations, as well as the company's corporate social responsibility efforts.
In another example of this kind of best practice, Turkish automotive joint venture Ford Otosan not only provides training for its employees, but also its suppliers. It does this regularly for 25 different topics. It also educates suppliers about the 4IR by, first assessing their knowledge, and then inviting them to send their employees for technical plant tours to expand their awareness.
What is the World Economic Forum doing about the Fourth Industrial Revolution?
The World Economic Forum was the first to draw the world's attention to the Fourth Industrial Revolution, the current period of unprecedented change driven by rapid technological advances. Policies, norms and regulations have not been able to keep up with the pace of innovation, creating a growing need to fill this gap.
The Forum established the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network in 2017 to ensure that new and emerging technologies will help—not harm—humanity in the future. Headquartered in San Francisco, the network launched centres in China, India and Japan in 2018 and is rapidly establishing locally-run Affiliate Centres in many countries around the world.
World Economic Forum | Centre for the Fourth Industrial R...
The global network is working closely with partners from government, business, academia and civil society to co-design and pilot agile frameworks for governing new and emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), autonomous vehicles, blockchain, data policy, digital trade, drones, internet of things (IoT), precision medicine and environmental innovations.
Learn more about the groundbreaking work that the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network is doing to prepare us for the future.
Want to help us shape the Fourth Industrial Revolution? Contact us to find out how you can become a member or partner.
In this new age, the most successful companies will be those approaching the future of manufacturing and operations with a human-led and a human-centered approach. This is a philosophy that is already embraced by Toyota among other Japanese firms, when they discuss "giving wisdom to the machine".
We look forward to seeing more companies embarking on this journey of 4IR transformation by using the people-machine combination to their best advantage.

Vols Run, Block, and Dunk Their Way to an Opening Season Victory.
Yes, it was one game — a game against a Division II opponent — but the number six ranked Harlem VOLtrotters opened the season with a resounding 86-41 win. With blocks and dunks galore, this Tennessee team looks vastly deeper and more athletic than last year.
The Tennessee men's basketball team opened the 2018 season with a dominant win over head coach Rick Barnes' alma mater, Division II Lenoir Rhyne Bear. In a game that was only close for the first ten minutes, UT outran, outjumped, and outdunked a vastly inferior team. That takes nothing away from the fact that a bone-chilling hype video, a lofty preseason ranking and Final 4 projections look anything but deserved for the Tennessee Volunteers.
Who the Heck is Lenoir Rhyne?
Make no mistake, the scheduling of a tiny liberal arts school a tenth of Tennessee's size was no mistake by Rick Barnes. In fact, the Tennessee head coach played guard for Lenoir Rhyne from 1974 to 1977. The Division II school counted towards Tennessee's overall record even though Lenoir Rhyne decided to count the game as an exhibition.
If Barnes thought his team would possibly overlook the Division II opponent, he thought wrong as the Vols cruised to a 45-point win. Jordan Bone led all Tennessee scorers with 18 and Kyle Alexander chipped in 16. As for the the reigning SEC Player of the Year and skilled piano player (did you watch the hype video up above or not), Grant Williams simply stuffed the stat sheet 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists. All offseason, the talk around Williams was about him expanding range on his jumper. The early returns seem positive after he knocked down a three pointer on his second attempt of the game (he made only three 3s all season last year). His running mate and NFL tight end senior leader Admiral Schofield followed suit with a nearly identical stat line. Tennessee shot nearly 57% and held Lenoir Rhyne to 20% shooting and nearly ten minutes without a field goal in the second half.
The Vols starting five looked strong in scoring 71 of the team's 85 points. All five starters scored in double figures. UT was without key reserve Lamonte Turner who missed the game with an undisclosed injury, but Yves Pons, John Fulkerson and Derrick Walker came off the bench to provide quality minutes. Pons in particular made his presence felt from the first minute he stepped on the court. The Flyin' Frenchman turned the ball over on an entry pass only to make up for it with a chase down block that saw him nearly hit his head on the rim. Oh, and he has no regard for human life or rims. Can we just go ahead and get a dunk-off between Pons and Zion Williamson already?
Rick Barnes and Tennessee fans had to be encouraged by the play of John Fulkerson as well. Fulkerson did not hesitate on one of his first touches of the game, catching the ball at the top of the key and driving straight to the rim for 2. He also kept plays alive with offensive rebounds, and showed an overall aggressiveness that was largely absent throughout last season. If Barnes can spell his starters with quality production from his second unit, this team will prove tough to beat.
Lenoir Rhyne hung around for the first nine minutes of the game thanks to a scorching start from the three point line. Their fifth three pointer of the game cut Tennessee's lead to two at 20-18, prompting a quick Tennessee timeout and an earful from the head coach. Full-court pressure by the Vols out of the break resulted in a lightning quick 10-0 run — a run punctuated by a thunderous Kyle Alexander alley-oop off a fast-break lob from Jordan Bowden that brought the fans inside Thompson-Boling Arena to their feet. The Bears would never get closer than 8 again.
A true toss-up between Tennessee's two leading scorers, how about senior center Kyle Alexander (@KyleJamal4) putting up an impressive 16 points and 5 rebounds in 24 minutes of action. The tallest player on the UT roster ran the floor, altered shots, and finished around the rim. He's never going to light up the scoreboard, but if Alexander can expand his game and score when called upon Tennessee becomes all the more versatile.
Point guard Jordan Bone scored the majority of his game-high 18 on drives to the rim. Often criticized for too quickly settling for jumpers, the junior repeatedly attacked the basket and looked as quick as ever. As the season drags on and tired legs produce off shooting nights, Bone needs to make good on drawing fouls and finishing layups.

A protester holds a poster with portrait of Russian President Vladimir Putin during an opposition rally Sunday in Moscow, Russia.
Russian opposition protest draws thousands
By KATHERINE JACOBSEN
Monday, September 21, 2015 1:01am
NewsNation-World
MOSCOW — Russia's beleaguered opposition drew several thousand people on Sunday to a protest rally in an outlying Moscow neighborhood to decry the 15-year rule of President Vladimir Putin.
Protesters denounced the Kremlin-controlled political system that keeps Putin in power and prevents the opposition from running in elections. They complained of political repression and official corruption.
Opposition leader Alexei Navalny called on Russians not to give up hope that they can make a difference. He said the opposition's mission was "to work with those who don't believe" that anything can be changed.
The Kremlin intensified its crackdown on the opposition after anti-Putin protests drew as many as 100,000 people in the winter of 2011-2012. The protests were set off by parliamentary elections won by the Kremlin party through what independent observers said was widespread fraud and by Putin's decision to return to the presidency for a third term after four years as prime minister.
Irina Yegorova, 50, who held a sign saying "Putin is not a czar, he's a bureaucrat," said she came to the protest even though she no longer sees a way forward. She said the government will "put more people in jail" and Russia's economy will continue to suffer.
"There is no investment. They are stealing and stealing and stealing," Yegorova said. "We don't have hope anymore."
Protesters said it was wrong to have a system of government where the leader does not change. "It's not like your wife that you're married to your whole life," said 65-year-old Vladimir Semyonovich, who gave his patronymic but not his last name.
The protest was relegated to the southeastern Maryino neighborhood because the city government refused to allow the opposition to rally in central Moscow.

New life for the Thane Ore House


I was born in Ireland, but moved to Zimbabwe (then known as Rhodesia) in the 70s when I was newly wed and looking for adventure and a new life. My four children were born there, and I stayed in Zimbabwe until 2002, almost 30 years. We lived in a peaceful country with a great climate, in a country with lots of natural beauty, and with lots of wildlife and amazing scenery, sunrises and sunsets like no other. Life was good, we watched our children take their first steps, starting their own big adventures, learning to walk, learning to run, but always within the comfort of home and within arms reach for cuddles and comforting when they fell down. Then there was kindergarten, nursery school, junior school, senior school, with everyone still living at home, and being part of the family.
A few short years later, she was graduating and coming back to teach in her old school for a year, and even better still, living at home, (if only for a short while), before she spread her wings again and moved to London, then Kenya, back to London, and right now teaching in Norway. More new places we get to visit….
Then it came time for our second girl to leave senior school, she decided to stay in Zimbabwe and do her university education there, so there was not much trauma or parting this time round.
In the late 90s the country was changing and going through a tremendous hyper inflation period, goverment was starting to go off the rails, and there was a lot of political unrest, corruption, and unemployment in the country. A lot of people were talking of leaving Zimbabwe, especially those with teenage sons and daughters, as the education system was not looking as bright as it had been. Slowly we said goodbye to family and friends, as they left Zimbabwe to scatter to all corners of the world, on many occasions not through choice, and became 'the scatterlings of Africa'.
The year 2000 was a particularly bad year in Zimbabwe, with a lot of political unrest, and many farming families evicted from their farms, some of them brutally beaten or even murdered by the 'farm invaders'. Many books and articles have been written on this subject, but it is a time in our lives that will never be forgotten, and today if you travel to any of the neighbouring African countries, or even to Australia or New Zealand, you will be bound to come across someone who once farmed, or had connections to farmers, from Zimbabwe.
That period was a traumatic time for me also, in 2000 my older son turned 18 and came to live in Ireland so that he could complete his education and go to university, luckily he was able to stay with family over here, and in 2002 I finally took the plunge and came back home as my youngest son turned 18 and wanted to go to university here also. My marriage broke up, I faced an uncertain future, and the hardest thing was packing up and leaving my daughter behind while the boys and myself started a new life in Ireland. More new places to visit…..

HSA changes will ease Obamacare's sticker shock
By: Ryan Ellis
Congressional Democrats desperately want to blame Republicans for spiraling health insurance premium increases in the Obamacare program. Most analysts predict that the cost of Obamacare health insurance plans will increase by 10-20 percent in 2019, with the sticker shock letters dropping in mailboxes just before the election. Double digit increases are nothing new to the 12 million or so individuals and families trapped in Obamacare, but Democrats are hoping that voters can be convinced that President Trump and congressional Republicans somehow "sabotaged" the program. That would, Democrats hope, serve as the blame for this year's annual spike in premiums, an increase which has occurred yearly since Obamacare was signed into law.
That's why on Tuesday, the House Ways and Means Committee advanced a series of bills to expand health savings accounts and thereby give direct assistance to families suffering from Obamacare price spikes. Among these bills is H.R. 6314, the Health Savings Act of 2018, sponsored by Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Texas. Dr. Burgess' bill would allow any person or family enrolled in a "bronze" or a catastrophic Obamacare plan to make an HSA contribution.
Obamacare sets up three metal tiers in individual market health insurance—gold, silver, and bronze. There's a tax credit available for those individuals and families making less than 400 percent of the federal poverty line, but for reasons too complicated to detail here Obamacare and the state exchanges herd most of these tax credit beneficiaries into a silver plan.
For those of us who make more than 400 percent of the federal poverty line (about $90,000 for a family of four), there is no assistance whatsoever to purchase health insurance. We bear the full brunt of the premium increases, but get no help in paying them. We find ourselves buying the least expensive plans we can get in the bronze metal tier.
"Least expensive" is a term of art. In my home state of Virginia, my family has purchased one of the cheapest plans available. A healthy family of five with two adults and three children has to pay more than $1,300 per month (that's about $16,000 per year) just to have health insurance. The deductible on this health insurance plan is $12,800. It doesn't cover the pediatricians my children go to, since like most substandard Obamacare plans it has skinny networks in order to cut costs. Absent a hospitalization, there is no chance my family will reach that deductible. It's basically a very expensive hospital insurance policy. We pay for all doctor visits, lab work, and prescription medicines at full cost.
You might think such a nightmarish plan would qualify as a "high deductible health insurance" plan under tax law and be able to accept HSA contributions, but you'd be wrong. Despite the fact that the deductible is well over the minimum level set by the tax code ($2,700), it's disqualified as an HDHP under the statute because I'm exposed to a higher out-of-pocket limit than the HSA rules permit. That's right—my health insurance plan cost exposure is too high even for an HSA. It's the worst of all worlds: an expensive premium, a high deductible, and no HSA eligibility despite sky-high out of pocket exposure.
This is where H.R. 6314 comes in. If Burgess' bill becomes law, a bronze Obamacare plan like mine would let me make an HSA contribution. This in turn would allow me to pay my exorbitant out-of-pocket cost exposure with pre-tax dollars instead of after-tax dollars.
My family is not alone. According to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, 11.8 million individuals and families enrolled in Obamacare plans in 2018. Of these, 29 percent—or more than 3.4 million enrollees—chose bronze plans like mine.
H.R. 6314 will not lower premiums or blunt the sticker shock of Obamacare price hikes for these 3.4 million individuals and families. But it will materially help those trapped in Obamacare to afford it. If a family pays a doctor bill of $300 and is in a combined 30 percent marginal income tax rate, running that doctor bill through the HSA will save that family $90. That's real money to people who often have to choose between going to the emergency room and going on vacation that year.
Thankfully, the Republican Congress and the Trump administration have deployed other strategies to help these 3.4 million families. Repeal of Obamacare's individual mandate tax penalty in tax reform, the expansion of Association Health Plans, and the imminent expansion of Short-Term Limited Duration Plans are three important "escape hatches" from Obamacare that also should not be forgotten. But H.R. 6314 is a big life preserver for those still forced to buy coverage in Obamacare, and might be the most important healthcare legislation the House passes all year long.

As of Monday this week (17th November), the Care Quality Commission (CQC) will be publishing information about GP practices on its website.
Last month the CQC launched its new approach to inspecting and rating GP practices. Over a period of two years, they will inspect and rate every practice that is registered with the CQC using this new approach.
During the next few weeks, the CQC will be publishing the first reports under the new approach, completed since 1 October 2014.
As part of the new approach, the CQC will also launch its Intelligent Monitoring Tool, which helps the inspectors to prioritise when, where and what they will focus on when they inspect. The tool draws on existing national data sources, such as Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) and the GP Patient Survey, and includes indicators covering a range of GP practice activity and patient experience. Based on 39 indicators, each GP practice will be categorised into one of six priority bands, with band 1 representing the highest priority for inspection.
From this week, the CQC will be publishing its Intelligent Monitoring data and bandings for GP practices. The information (including the bandings) will be presented on the CQC website in individual reports about each practice. The data will also be accessible by CCG area. In due course, the data, bandings and eventually ratings will also form part of the My NHS website on NHS Choices.
Find out more about Intelligent Monitoring and the 38 indicators. From this page, you can also search for the individual report on your practice.
Read the Frequently Asked Questions about GP Practices and the Intelligent Monitoring Data.

Q: How to move the "list of figures" (lot) in pandoc I want to place my "list of figures" (lot) to the end of the document, but pandoc puts the lot by default at the beginning, directly after the toc.
My .md looks like this:
---
toc: true
lof: true
---

# Heading 1
Lorem ipsum…

# References
:::{#refs}
:::

Note how it ist possible to move the Bibliography with a div to the end of my document.
With the LaTex snippet
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{List of Figures}
\listoffigures

the lof is moved, but only if converted as pdf.
Is there a solution to moving the lof to the end of a document, regardless of type (pdf, html...)?

A: There is no format independent solution. The reason is that "list of figures" is only supported in LaTeX and ConTeXt output. So there is no way to move it in HTML and other formats, simply because it cannot be created in the first place.
For the formats that do support the creation of a lof, one can write a custom template: running pandoc -D latex will output the default template used with LaTeX. Save the output to a new file, search and move the $if(lof)$ statement as desired, then use the new template with --template my-template.latex.


In groundbreaking work being carried out at the Royal Free London and UCL, mutations in a gene that significantly increases the risk for Parkinson's disease (PD) will be used to develop new treatments to help slow down or stop its progression.
The project, coordinated by Professor Anthony Schapira, head of the department of clinical neurosciences at the Royal Free London, has attracted funding of €1.45 million (more than £1,200,000) from the EU and the Medical Research Council. Teams from Germany, Italy and Canada will also be assisting.
Changes in the glucocerebrosidase (GBA) gene are found in around 10 per cent of patients with Parkinson's, representing the most important risk factor for the disease. Carriers of the mutation have a significantly increased risk of developing Parkinson's, although not all will do so.
Research shows that the mutations lead to early changes such as loss of smell and subtle movement problems which, together with alterations in blood and spinal fluid, are being used to identify the group most at risk of developing the disease among those with the GBA mutation.
"Even Parkinson's patients without this mutation show changes in the activity of the GBA enzyme in the brain. This means that some of the lessons learnt from GBA carriers may be applicable to patients in general, which is particularly important in developing therapies that might be relevant to all Parkinson's patients.
The researchers are also studying how GBA mutations cause Parkinson's and have already identified a potential new drug to combat the mutation that has shown promise in tests and will be used in a clinical trial in early 2016.
This funding is through the EU Joint Programme, Neurodegenerative Disease Research (JPND).
In July 2014 Barnet Hospital and Chase Farm Hospital became part of the Royal Free London.

Why? Because it begins with an understanding of audience. Continues with an emphasis on the 3 most important letters in PR ("y-o-u"). Because it tells the truth (or contains factual information). Because it is true to its brand, with core messages throughout. Along with ample amounts of the secret ingredient of all good communication: emotion.
This letter is a case study of how to write a good piece of employee communication. To underline how it achieves this, I've annotated the letter with my own comments. I've also put on an imaginary professor's cap and graded the paper.

New timer events are triggered at regular intervals. Simply select the intervals at which you wish for the recipe to run. This is usually best for monitoring-related use cases, such as checking how whether or not your customer service messages are being processed quickly enough (are there more than X unattended conversations in the last hour?). You can also set the time you want the recipe to start running using "Start at".
Note: Once the recipe has been started, changes to the "start at" field will not be registered. In order to change your "start at" field, please make a copy of your recipe by clicking copy.
This trigger is most useful as a dummy trigger for testing an action in a recipe. Do note that when using this trigger to test, you will need to re-run jobs from the jobs tab instead of clicking test again. Clicking test again will only work if the time specified in the "every" field has passed since the previous trigger event. Find out more on how to re-run jobs here.
New scheduled event (advanced) are triggered at specific times. For instance, we might like our recipe to be triggered at 1:15pm every Monday and Tuesday. First, select the New Scheduled event (advanced)" trigger, and then add the "Hour" optional field.
Note: This trigger event should NOT be used for testing recipe logic - it would not make sense to have to wait until the specified time before you can run through your recipe actions for testing purposes. In other words, you should test your recipe logic using the basic scheduler to ensure your recipe would work before you implement the advanced scheduler function.
In the "Hour" field, fill in 13.
In the "Minute" field, fill in 15.
Choose "yes" for Monday and Tuesday, and "no" for the rest.
Now, the recipe will run at 1:15pm every Monday and Tuesday.
What happens if I don't fill in the "Hour" field?
In that case, your recipe will run at MM minutes, every hour of every day specified. In this example, on Monday and Tuesday, the recipe would be triggered at 0015, 0115, etc.

With tip-off set for 9pm Thursday nite (6.2) at Oracle in Oakland, defending champ Golden State Warriors takes on a familiar foe from 2015 Finale, the Cleveland Cavaliers, as Warriors seek a cherry-on-top for a record 73 win season while the Cavaliers try again to deliver a first Larry O'Brien title trophy to the Forest City.
Two faces decorate the marquee for this dollar donnybrook: Reigning MVP (2) Steve Curry v. 4-time winner LeBron James, both smooth customers and maybe the two hottest commercial commodities across these Consumer States of America (CSA).
Curry, coach Steve Kerr and the Warriors are darlings of the young set, their older siblings in journalism, Disney (ESPN) and not a small number of the ladies who may happen to drop in. Kerr's Krew rely heavily upon the 3-pt shot, a tack heretofore unseen on Assc'n stage. When they're turning the tres they set records and wow the crowd, but when they lay bricks the scaffolding can all come down.
Warriors best defense? The mind-game. Not the cruel kind, but in by-product.
It's just one way in which 3-pt'er ('79) has gradually altered the game of b-ball: Inside action shifts to the high-post, less physicality even for mountain-sized men, 90s trend down in defense continues as tres-defenders opt-out in the risk-benefit balance and swings in momentum that can be seismic (GSW @ OKC G6).
To the last change, it's not just an extra point the tres tacks on, it's the psychological impact on the opposition that can demoralize and alter game plan. That's not necessarily based on rational thought of the opposition but then in a sport where emotions run the gamut, who's always rational? Coaches, captains try to fend off the heebie-jeebies but the current design of game can make it difficult, especially in final few.
Curry, Thompson, Draymond Green, Kerr and the rest of GSW must be commended for exploiting a shot that when made in bushels has, with a Freudian-like finesse, worked inside the heads of opponents. It can emotionally stifle a foes' momentum, drain confidence while enunciating their own speech-in-swishery (Klay's 3-pt mark), often running up the bill late in the session: Mind over matter.
In the other corner, the Cavs are, of course, led by Lego® LeBron, a team he, with owner Gilbert, built to their specs, though, 5th-year-point-guard-who-plays-like-shooting-guard Kyrie Irving does his best to pile points and tug the spotlight.
Earlier greats like Mikan, Russell, Cousy & Havlicek, Chamberlain & West, Big-O & Kareem, Magic, Bird, Jordan & Pippen, Shag, Kobe and Duncan, all sold the NBA product with lots o' wins and titles galore, but no player has so completely embraced, mastered the role of corporate player as has Mr. James.
Still the favorite of most fans, young & old alike, LeBron guided his teams to enough Finals (6) and hoisted sufficient O'Briens (2) to legitimize his pitch to the public but carries himself with a dignity wrapped in a calm – cool -collected demeanor that should make him the envy of every marketing Cufflink in the land.
The crystal-ball reads pretty clear on this series.
Both squads are near full strength for this rematch of 2015 Final, Cleveland this time having services of their high paid, multi-skilled big-man-with-the-soft-shooting-touch in Love who exited early in 2015 playoffs. He, like his counterpart in Curry are both managing recent injuries that, if inflamed, could alter plans.
How to fend off the injury bug? Player regimen in nutrient supplementation at this point in the journey, including the Bs, ashwagandha, alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10, D3 and magnesium, all help with the blues, bruises, bones and boost. Then there are offerings to the Sporting Gods. Herbs & beer are tradition. Can't be too careful.
On defense, you don't get this far without knowing its value and how to employ it, at least most of the time, anyway, and then both benches are well stocked with capable talent but won't make the starters too nervy.
Cleveland balances better on scoring, hold an edge on the boards and while Warriors are fleeter-of-feet they don't utilize it to full advantage, often pulling up on the perimeter to launch the T-bombs (3-pt). Wars are slightly more proficient at the charity-stripe (.764 (.748)) and than can play big in close contests.
Prolific shooters in Curry & Thompson keep firing away, working through slumps that may befall. And having a back-up plan at the ready when the 3s start rattling the rim and ♫ clang clang clang ♫ like a San Fran trolley would be wise. Didn't see one in the WC. Easier said than done but necessity's the father of invention.
Avoid vesting heavily in 3-pt'er even as they've a panache ("25"), not let Golden showers of 3s (bad for sure but you gotta' laugh) set their minds to worry, give 'em the Freudian slip, so to speak, utilize Kevin to his full potential (sure) to consistently impose their real strength: Power, in drive and rebound: Matter-a-fact-in-your-face, so to speak.
That's where James mellow-mode, a corporate winner and fine with lesser foes, must give way to a controlled aggression in the Finals to put fear into hearts of men, not just those in blue & yellow but co-workers who need their minds set right too. Leadership, they call it.
Big shots (The Beatles) can afford big risks (♫ Getting Better ♫), Mr. James. Think of it in these terms, LeBron, "the (risk) you take is equal to the (market impact) you make." Cha-ching!
Many in sportology will vacillate by keying on different players to rise to the occasion as the series evolves, hoping the roll comes up 7-11. I don't play that game. The stars will perform and the support staff with shine depending on the circumstance (foes), their mood and level of moxie. That's sport.
Who wins this NBA16 championship bout? Cavaliers most likely.
The interlude Cleveland's enjoyed after dispatching Toronto with relative ease (4-2) can work a determent in dulling an edge, throwing a rhythm. That's how it plays in football and rounders not infrequently. But in a sport like b-ball where the pace is grueling (soccer) and the post-season gauntlet runs long (NHL), more time off before a title round can heal wounds and re-charge draining batteries.
Rest gives an edge to the Forest City folk over a weary Warriors bunch who compiled 73 RS wins only to be pushed to 7G by a determined OKC bunch and escape by the "hair on their chinny chin chin(s)." Plus, the Ohioans should weather better those sure-to-come 3-point barrages than did the Thunder, possessing the men & methods to counter-punch on that point. At least that's the arsenal it appears Cavs' head coach Tyronn Lue n' staff have at the ready.

A fronteira entre Itália e Vaticano é a linha que limita os territórios da Itália e do Vaticano, em Roma. É a segunda mais curta fronteira internacional terrestre do mundo no total entre dois estados, apenas suplantada pela fronteira de Gibraltar.

O território do Vaticano é definido no anexo I do tratado de Latrão de 1929. Fica na colina do Vaticano, no noroeste de Roma, enclave no rione (bairro) do Borgo (burgo medieval), do qual fazia parte até 1929. Conforme o artigo 5 do tratado estipula: « A Santa Sé procurará fechar o acesso, colocando vedações nas partes abertas [da fronteira], salvo na Praça de São Pedro. », o traçado é o dos muros primitivos que fecham a cidade do Vaticano e que datam parcialmente do pontificado do Papa Leão IV (847-855). A leste, a fronteira passa na fachada exterior das colunatas de Bernini englobando a Praça de São Pedro, onde a segurança em caso de incidente é responsabilidade da polícia italiana.

A Basílica de São Pedro é livremente acessível pela praça. A fronteira tem cinco pontos de acesso:

 a porta de bronze, na entrada do palácio pontifício;
 o Arco dos Sinos, frente à basílica;
 a entrada da sala de audiências, perto do Palácio do Santo Ofício;
 a Porta de Santa Ana, na via di Porta Angelica;
 a entrada dos Museus do Vaticano, na viale Vaticano, mais a norte.

Yes, you read that correctly. The opioid epidemic affects our country AND our city and it's time we talked about it. In the wake of our own Cincinnati Enquirer receiving a Pulitzer Prize for their coverage, we thought it was time to meet some of the folks on the front line and hear their stories… both of loss and hope.

The Moon has an atmosphere so tenuous as to be nearly vacuum, with a total mass of less than 10 metric tons. The surface pressure of this small mass is around 3 × 10−15 atm (0.3 nPa); it varies with the lunar day. Its sources include outgassing and sputtering, the release of atoms from the bombardment of lunar soil by solar wind ions. Elements that have been detected include sodium and potassium, produced by sputtering, which are also found in the atmospheres of Mercury and Io; helium-4 from the solar wind; and argon-40, radon-222, and polonium-210, outgassed after their creation by radioactive decay within the crust and mantle. The absence of such neutral species (atoms or molecules) as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and magnesium, which are present in the regolith, is not understood. Water vapour has been detected by Chandrayaan-1 and found to vary with latitude, with a maximum at ~60–70 degrees; it is possibly generated from the sublimation of water ice in the regolith. These gases can either return into the regolith due to the Moon's gravity, or be lost to space: either through solar radiation pressure, or if they are ionised, by being swept away by the solar wind's magnetic field.
