Raising my son Ramon with Aspergers has been a challenging and rewarding journey. In looking back at some of the more challenging times I recall the day when I came to realize how important it was to step back and examine where I was and more importantly where he was. It was a hammering rainy day and I was fighting traffic rushing to pick him up and take him to an appointment for group therapy (which I knew he didn't enjoy). We were running late and I was feeling weary having to take him to yet another program. I remember this particular day feeling overwhelmed with all the meetings, medicines, diets, programs, books, therapies, etc. He could obviously sense my tension and angrily asked "Where are we going to now". I remember pulling the car to the curb; stopping to look at him and thought "OMG! You are as tired of going to all this as I am of taking you…" It was at that moment (ah ha) when I realized it was not about fixing him and it was all about understanding him!!!
I remember after that asking myself "what does he need? Does he need medication? Does he need therapy? Does he need this program and that diet and all the other things I was doing to feel like a responsible parent that was trying to something? I really had to ask myself and know in my gut what it was that my son needed. I made a list that included daily social skills and a safe supportive environment to learn. Because he was on so many remedies it was difficult to tell what was working. I met with his caregivers, teachers and asked them what does he need? At first they provided a list of what he wasn't doing like turning in homework, listening in class, following through with….
I decided we needed to stop doing what didn't seem to be working and focus on what is working. I asked them to make a list of what he needs. We put our lists together and began working on one thing at a time to see what worked and what needed adjusting. It was then that I was able to better support his needs and measure the results. It was then that he blossomed and my life became more manageable.
Today Ramon is 20 years old and working two jobs one in construction and another stocking in a warehouse. He found the jobs on his own motivated to earn money to pay for his cell phone. He graduated from Village Glenn two years ago and is becoming an independent responsible young man.
As parents, we must be willing to listen to what the education system has to offer. However, we know what is best for our children and what needs to be done to help them succeed. Our voice matters for our children. Never be afraid to use it.

Natural Grocers will open a new store in Green Valley Ranch this March
It's a good thing for anyone who eats food.

Far northeast Denverites will get a new grocery option in March when a Natural Grocers is scheduled to open at Green Valley Ranch Boulevard and Tower Road.
The store will host a grand opening on March 25, Councilwoman Stacie Gilmore's office confirmed. Colorado-based Natural Grocers has at least 40 other locations in the state, according to its website, including six stores in Denver.
The company did not deliver on multiple requests to provide more specific information about the store.
Gilmore represents the area and has worked over the past few years to lure more grocers there. Her district has struggled to keep a full-service grocery store. Montbello, the neighborhood next to Green Valley Ranch, has also struggled to lure such stores, though programs have popped up to help address access to fresh food.
"It's exciting to see the opening of a new grocery option in District 11 is fast approaching," Gilmore said in an email to Denverite. "This was one of my priorities coming into my first term and we will continue to create even more opportunities for fresh food access and retail in the neighborhood. We have worked toward that goal by creating short-term solutions, supporting community-led options and taking national brands on personal driving tours-and I'm thrilled to welcome Natural Grocers to our district!"
The city's economic development office said no financial incentives were offered to Natural Grocers for their new location.

Professor Orlando Alzura, from the Venezuelan Federation of Teachers, says that the crisis intensified in the last two years and, this year in particular, there was a serious breakdown after the economic measures of August 17. Misery pushed many to leave their posts.
I spend Bs.S. 90 to get to school, that's two thirds of my monthly salary.
Now it's hard to find a teacher. The salary is between $0.3 and $0.5 at the moment; the Education Ministry's insurance for Hospitalization, Surgery and Maternity (HCM) only covers Bs.S. 200 (a soda can), and funeral insurance is merely Bs.S. 150 (a cup of coffee). There are no incentives for teaching at schools that may be at dangerous slums.
There are 350,000 teachers in the Education Ministry's payroll. Of that total, Alzuru estimates that only between 25% and 30% are teaching.
People who work in schools of low-income areas, like La Vega, Antímano, El Valle and Gramoven, don't have it easy.
Lila Vega, member of the parents and representatives' network, says they're training professionals in fields that match school subjects. They're inducted into teaching and hired.
In La Vega, the San Alberto Hurtado network trains people from the community itself. One of them, Yenny Mantilla, is a full-fledged teacher now, on her sixth semester at college. There's also Ada, a parent and worker who also became part of Canaima School.
Last year, the government tried to solve the situation with the "express" graduation of teachers from the Bolivarian University, but there's no guarantee or quality of training. Professor Alzuru believes there can't be improvisation in education.
Carmen, Yenny and Ada are now heroines, but who knows for how long.

I was baptized or sprinkled as a baby.
An important thing to know is that if you were baptized as a baby, it is not the same as biblical believer's baptism. Many parents have their children baptized as infants or small children as a sign of dedication to God, but the Bible clearly teaches that any person who receives Christ by faith should then be baptized.
I was baptized or sprinkled in another denomination.
First Baptist Carrollton believes that the method and meaning of baptism are both very important. If a person comes from another denomination that is not of "like faith," we ask them to be re-baptized. In no way do we doubt the sincerity or importance of their prior commitment. We want the person to clearly identify with our understanding of baptism.
What is a church of "like faith?"
Salvation is by grace from God alone. There can be no element of works involved in a person's salvation.
Baptism serves solely as a symbol or picture of a person's salvation. Baptism has nothing to do with making a person a follower of Christ. It is simply a symbol of having already become a follower of Christ.

Tim shared, "To be on set again with so many of the original cast (more to come eventually) was like seeing family again. It's almost as if time had stood still other than my age. I look younger now in the Santa makeup than I do out of it."

In addition to some of the original cast members returning, fans can expect to see some exciting cameos including Peyton Manning. Tim shared about working with Peyton, "I am a huge football fan so the scenes with Manning were surreal. I was in full Santa gear and in character so Tim Allen never had the chance to be a fan. The dude is too tall and too funny!"
The first two episodes premiere on Disney+ on Nov. 16. Watch the trailer below:

Targeting the Most Upstream Site of Wnt Signaling Pathway Provides a Strategic Advantage for Therapy in Colorectal Cancer
Author(s): Jian Qi, You-Qing Zhu. Department of Gastroenterology of Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, 169 Donghu Road, Wuhan, 430071, Hubei Province, China., China
Journal Name: Current Drug Targets
The Wnt signaling pathway has important functions in development, tissue homeostasis, and regeneration. Deregulation of canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling is frequently found in various human cancers, particularly in colorectal cancer, and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways also have been implicated in neoplasia. Colorectal cancer is a multipathway disease. Activation of Wnt signaling by both genetic and epigenetic alterations has been found to be important for both, initiation and progression of colorectal cancer. In addition, since Wnt signaling results in diverse downstream intracellular events, targeted inhibition of Wnt/β-catenin signaling at the most upstream site of this pathway is a rational and an advantageous new approach for the therapy of colorectal cancer.

International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Releated Health Problems Version 10 (ICD-10)
Cancer, like other health conditions, is classified by the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Releated Health Problems Version 10 (ICD-10). This is a statistical classification, published by the World Health Organization, in which each morbid condition is assigned a unique code according to established criteria.
Future projections for incidence and mortality are a mathematical extrapolation of past trends. They assume that the most recent trends will continue into the future, and are intended to illustrate future changes that might reasonably be expected to occur if the stated assumptions continue to apply over the projected period. Actual future cancer incidence and mortality rates may vary from these projections for a variety of factors. New screening programs may increase the detection of new cancer cases; new vaccination programs may decrease the risk of developing cancer; and improvements in treatment options may decrease mortality rates.
The 2011 national incidence counts include estimates for NSW and the ACT because the real data were not available.
The 2015 estimates are based on 2002–11 incidence data.
The 2015 estimates are based on 2002–12 mortality data. Due to the rounding of these estimates, male and female mortality may not sum to person mortality.
Prevalence of cancer refers to the number of people alive with a prior diagnosis of cancer at a given time. It is distinct from incidence, which is the number of new cancers diagnosed within a given period of time.
Incidence and mortality rates expressed per 100,000 population are age-standardised to the Australian population as at 30 June 2001.

Servier Aims to Prove Safety of Its Diet Pills
By Douglas Lavin and Stephen D. MooreStaff Reporters of The Wall Street Journal
Laboratoires Servier SA, the French drug company that pulled its popular diet pills from pharmacies world-wide this week, believes it will be able to prove the safety of its products and resume marketing them.
The financial impact of Servier's decision to "suspend" sales will likely be huge as the products, which Servier has marketed to some 70 million people in 85 countries over the past 35 years, were the closest thing this maker of little-known prescription drugs had to a hot consumer product.
But the diet drugs account for only about 8% of closely held Servier's revenue, which totaled 6.2 billion French francs ($1.04 billion) last year, and it's difficult to precisely measure the financial impact on the firm, which is still controlled by the doctor and pharmacist who founded it in 1954, Jacques Servier. Arvind Desai, an analyst with New York-based investment research firm Mehta & Isaly, estimates the direct cost of a voluntary withdrawal at about $200 million.
'Extreme Precaution'
The recent controversy follows a steady fire of attacks on the Servier drugs by European health officials. And aside from the massive decision to suspend sales, Servier is responding to the latest controversy in the same manner as it has in the past: It is insisting the drugs -- dexfenfluramine and fenfluramine -- are safe.
"We haven't taken our drugs off the market. We've suspended their sale," said Jerome Libiot, a medical doctor and the head of communications at Servier, who was part of a small crisis-management team that met over the weekend to decide how to respond to the latest news: an alert from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last Friday linking the drugs to heart-valve problems.


Allan Quartermain, famous literary hunter/explorer, is the hero of H. Rider Haggard's novel King Solomon's Mines. First published in 1885, that story was followed by sequels including Allan Quartermain, in 1887. The fictitious hero's exploits were serialized in Longman's Magazine before the novel was released in book form.
Conceived in the late 19th century by an Englishman who thought more of colonial conquests than indigenous competence, Allan Quartermain (Haggard's literary hero) has a Victorian attitude toward the people of Africa where his exploits occur. Alan Moore, author of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, gives Quartermain a very different vision and mission.
Richard Chamberlain in 1985's rendition of King Solomon's Mines.
But in this story, Allan Quartermain cannot achieve his objectives without the considerable help of others.

Hyperreal Overkill | Pilchner Schoustal International Inc.
This project is a private residence renovation that was constructed by the studio's owner Peter Hodson. He enlisted the services of Pilchner Schoustal Inc. for design and consultancy of his space. Due to the small existing area, a lot of time was spent on configuring the design to accommodate a 5.1 surround sound control room as well as a small live room and sound lock.
To achieve a functional studio with such a small footprint every inch mattered. Space was saved by creating an in-wall cabinet designed to act as a machine room which would be located in the control room itself. A suspended acoustic ceiling, acoustic damping and diaphragmatic absorbers were utilized to prevent uneven frequency build-up especially in the lower frequencies. A window shared between the control room and live room offer a clear site line between the engineer and artist.

Adding to the arsenal
Scrap Metals Supplement
William F. Sullivan & Co. Inc. equips its yard in Holyoke, Massachusetts, with a LIBs hand-held analyzer.
Jen Lynch of Rigaku Analytical Devices
Scrap metal sorting is changing. As any recycler will report, traditional scrap metal sorting techniques are becoming outdated. At the same time, the volume of scrap received from a variety of sources has increased, fueling the demand for better tools to maximize scrap metal identification and profits. With fluctuating metals prices, precise scrap metal sorting is more important than ever and could mean the difference between reselling materials for dollars rather than cents on the pound.
Older generation metals identification instruments can be cumbersome and difficult to use in the typical yard environment. Hand-held analyzers are now the instrument of choice to meet the rigorous demands of modern scrap recycling. They can provide accurate alloy grade separations for fast identification. However, these instruments can be fragile and can have technological limitations that often result in a failure to rapidly identify all alloying elements, which can mean a missed opportunity for profit gain.
William F. Sullivan & Co. Inc., Holyoke, Massachusetts, a scrap metal recycler serving some of the area's largest manufacturers, was looking for a way to improve the efficiency of its sorting process by reducing the time and costs associated with metal analysis. After implementing a hand-held laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyzer from Rigaku Analytical Devices, Wilmington, Massachusetts, William F. Sullivan & Co. has benefited from the ability to analyze a wider range of metals at the point of need. The recycler now can sell piles of scrap that have been taking up space in its facility at a more precise cost, leading to an increase in profit.
Founded in 1953, Sullivan has made a business out of taking care of the environment by recycling scrap metal purchased from some of the area's largest manufacturers as well as from individuals in and around New England. The company has created a business that focuses on providing customers with the fairest pricing for their scrap, in addition to offering the most effective options for handling scrap metal challenges.
Sullivan processes about 70,000 tons of material each year, 25 percent of which is nonferrous. To stay competitive, the company uses different hand-held analyzer technologies to identify incoming material and process it as efficiently as possible.
Overcoming the light-metal challenge
Sullivan has been using hand-held X-ray fluorescence (XRF) units for many years, typically for the analysis of nickel alloys, brasses and other metals made up of heavier elements. However, the company says it found a gap when using this technique to analyze lighter alloys, such as aluminum.
Sullivan discovered LIBS technology about two years ago and says it was pleased with how well it performed for light element analysis, particularly aluminums.
Brian Powell, the company's vice president, managed the implementation of the hand-held LIBS analyzer. Regarding the company's initial reaction to this new technology, he says, "We have been very impressed with Rigaku's LIBS capabilities of separating Al 6061 alloys from Al 5052, which can be very difficult to process so quickly. The speed of obtaining those results was something we had not previously experienced and, therefore, allowed us to sort specific alloys out so we're not making a mixed package."
Using the LIBS technology, Sullivan says it was able to upgrade the material it was preparing, increasing profitability on every pound.
The LIBS elemental analytical technique has the ability to detect and quantify the elemental composition of heavy and light elements in a solid, liquid or gas state.
LIBS is more sensitive and better suited to the detection of light elements, such as aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg) and beryllium (Be). However, prior to 2015, LIBS analysis previously was confined to a laboratory environment. Recent technological advancements—such as miniature, solid-state microlasers and small, compact spectrometers—have made the design of hand-held LIBS possible and rapidly expanded the use of this technique into filed operations, such as alloy sorting and analysis.
Because the KT-100 LIBS analyzer uses laser technology, there is no radiation exposure and minimal to no regulatory restrictions or registration and licensing fees.
Offering versatility and simplicity
Sullivan primarily uses the LIBS analyzer to sort aluminum alloys but also will use it to sort heavier metals when the company's hand-held XRF unit is not available. "We know we can rely on the KT-100 for other alloys and it will do a consistent job, just like it does with the aluminum alloys," Powell says.
The analyzer offers more than six hours of battery life and can hold more than 4,000 measurements. It includes a docking station cradle that charges the analyzer and a spare battery at the same time.
"It's very quick and easy and is just right there, ready to go whenever you need it," Powell says. Furthermore, the unit's GPS and Wi-Fi capabilities allow for instrument tracking to protect the owner's investment. Its macrocamera allows for sample imaging to associate with results.
With an influx of various metals, Sullivan needed a tool that would be easy to introduce to any of its yard employees. Users have the ability to select which information is available on the results screen, and Powell determined what he would like to see—the spectra, the chemistry breakdown or just the alloy name.
Powell says he usually will have the instrument run in "Alloy Match" mode, so his workers do not need to make any determinations on their own. For more complicated metals, the company's employees have the ability to view the chemistry breakdown. "They can scan all of the aluminum, and it will come up with a simple alloy name," Powell says. "We can make it as simple or complex as we want."
Another feature that appeals to the company is the keyboard, which consists of hard, raised buttons. This makes it easier for people who wear work gloves to operate compared with touch-screen devices.
In addition, the buttons of the KT-100 are assignable. "We can go right from the 'Alloy Match' result over to an in-depth alloy analysis that shows the element breakdown and then back again to the 'Alloy Match' very quickly," Powell says of that feature.
Meeting the rigors of the scrap yard
The environment of a scrap metal processing facility is not ideal for analytical technology instruments. Therefore, any tool used to sort metal needs to be able to withstand the toughest use.
Another challenge Sullivan encountered when using the company's hand-held XRF analyzer was that the analysis window would regularly jam when analyzing small pieces of scrap, such as turnings, and the instrument would need to be returned to the factory to be repaired. This resulted in downtime for the scrap company and associated costs.
To guarantee protection against all work environments, the KT-100 underwent strict testing to the United States Military Standard MIL-STD-810G. These tests involved vibration, shock and drop testing that focused on impact to every angle of the instrument to evaluate its durability and performance when exposed to environmental stress.
In addition, its ingress protection (IP-54) rating and safety window composed of fused silica are designed to protect against dusty and wet environments.
"It's very efficient [and] very quick, and we can get the material processed and out the door as fast as we can," Powell says of the device.

JEU DE TAROT LE TOUR
Heron, France, 1990s
This is another card deck with a very slight relation with the contents of this site. I have kept in a drawer for years before I have decided to include it in the site (along with more modern decks like this one or this one).
Some may be surprised to find a game labelled "tarot", but you have to remind that tarot, also known as "tarock" or "tarocco", is a card game (more precisely: a family of card games) of Italian origin which is still quite popular in some countries including France. The first tarot decks appeared in Italy in the fifteenth century, while their association with the occult dates from some three hundred years later and was not full-fledged until the "anti-enlightenment" (that is, the nineteenth) century
Tarot decks are easy to find in France and, unless you buy them in esoteric shops, the 22 trumps depict scenes of traditional social activities.
The rest of the deck is composed of the four usual French suits, 14 cards per suit, which makes a total of 78 cards, including the 22 trumps.
The rules of the game are often included in tarot decks, as is the case here.
There isn't a date stamped on the deck, so my datation cannot be precise. However, the "Le Tour" logo with a yellow jersey rider on a Tricolore bike was used from 1990 to 1996. (On the other hand, the CE marking exists in its present form since 1985, and therefore does not offer any further precision on the datation).
Furthermore, this game was released by Heron, from Merignac. Heron was absorbed by the Groupe France Cartes in 1994 and the Merignac press was closed in 1999. So I think it is quite safe to infer that this game was produced sometime during the early nineties.

NFL Week 12 early odds: Two Thanksgiving bets that have been paying off, Chiefs favored over Buccaneers
The best week of the NFL regular season is finally here and that's because this is the week the NFL will be giving us its annual buffet of football on Thanksgiving Day.
Starting at 12:30 p.m. ET, we'll be getting a total of three games and since everyone will be watching football on Thursday, I thought it only made sense to start things off here with a few Thanksgiving betting trends.
If you're thinking about laying down some money on the NFL to add a little bit of non-family drama to your Turkey Day, here are two Thanksgiving trends that might help you decide which way to bet.
The first trend has to do with the fact that the favored team has been dominating on Thanksgiving over the past four years. Since 2016, favored teams have gone 11-1 straight-up and 9-3 ATS. This year, the three favored teams are the Texans, Cowboys and Steelers. Two of those teams will definitely be testing the trend as Dallas has been the worst team in the NFL this year against the spread (2-8) while the Texans are tied for second-worst (3-7). On the other hand, the Steelers have been the NFL's best team against the spread (8-2).
The other interesting trend has to do with the over/under. Since 2014, the under has hit in every primetime game played on Thanksgiving. That's six straight games where the under has hit (The under has actually hit in seven out of nine primetime games since the Thanksgiving night game was introduced in 2011). The primetime game this year is Ravens at Steelers which has an over/under of 46 points. This trend will also be put to the test and that's because these two teams have hit the over the past three times they've met.
Alright, that's enough Turkey Day talk, let's get to the rest of this week's odds.
NFL Week 12 early odds
(All lines from William Hill Sportsbook unless noted, all games on Sunday unless noted)
Texans (3-7) at Lions (4-6), Thursday
Opening line: Texans -2.5
Thanksgiving has been a disastrous holiday for the Lions over the past few years as they've lost three straight games on Turkey Day. The Lions are also just 3-9 straight-up in their past 12 games against AFC teams (6-6 ATS). As for the Texans, they're 2-8-1 ATS In their past 11 games against NFC teams. The Texans are also 3-7 ATS on the season, which is tied for the second-worst mark in the NFL. In five road games this season, they've gone 1-4 ATS.
Washington (3-7) at Dallas (3-7), Thursday
Opening line: Cowboys -2.5
If there's one team you don't want to bet on in a Thanksgiving game, it's the Cowboys. Since the start of the 2011 season, the Cowboys are 1-8 ATS on Turkey Day (4-5 straight-up). However, that one cover did come against Washington back in 2018. The Cowboys have dominated this series in recent years, going 11-4 straight-up against Washington dating back to the start of the 2013 season. These two teams played back in Week 7 with Washington winning 25-3 as a one-point underdog. Including that game, the Cowboys are 2-8 ATS on the year, which is the worst mark in the NFL.
Ravens (6-4) at Steelers (10-0), Thursday
Opening line: Steelers -3
In the past 10 games where the Steelers have been favored by a field goal or more, they've gone 9-1 straight-up and 6-4 ATS. The Steelers are also 3-1 ATS in their past four games against the Ravens, including back in Week 8 when Pittsburgh covered as a 4-point underdog in a 28-24 win. As for the Ravens, they've been nearly unbeatable on the road, going 10-1 straight-up in their past 11 games (7-4 ATS). The Ravens are also 5-1 ATS since the start of the 2018 season in games where they're an underdog of three or more.
Opening line: Raiders -1
If there's one situation when you might want to stay away from the Falcons, it's when they're facing a team from the AFC. In their past 15 games against AFC teams, the Falcons are 3-12 straight up and an ugly 2-13 ATS. However, one of those three wins did come back in Week 9 against the Broncos when Atlanta covered as a 4.5-point favorite in a 34-27 win. As for the Raiders, they're 3-1 both straight-up and ATS In their past four games against NFC teams. One worrisome thing about the Raiders though is that this game is being played in the eastern time zone where the Raiders are 4-8 straight-up and 4-7-1 ATS since the start of the 2017 season.
Opening line: Bills -5.5
The road has not been kind to the Chargers this season as they've lost four straight away from Los Angeles. However, they have done a decent job of covering away from home, going 4-2-1 ATS in their past seven road games. The Chargers have also done a good job of covering in the eastern time zone, going 7-2 ATS since the start of the 2018 season (6-3 straight-up). As for the Bills, they've won 13 straight games when favored by five or more points, but they're just 8-5 ATS In those games.
Opening line: Giants -4
The Giants have somehow turned into one of the safest bets in the NFL over the past few weeks, going 6-1 ATS in their past seven games (3-4 straight-up). The Giants are also 8-0 ATS in their past eight road games (2-6 straight-up). As for the Bengals, they've covered in three straight home games, but one thing you'll want to keep in mind here is that they won't have Joe Burrow, who was lost for the season after suffering a knee injury in Week 11. The Bengals also have a six-game winless streak (0-5-1) against teams from the NFC, including a record of 0-1-1 against NFC East teams this season.
Opening line: Colts -2.5
The Colts have dominated this series for nearly a decade. Since the start of the 2012 season, the Colts are 14-3 straight-up against the Titans and 11-4-2 ATS, including their win over Tennessee in Week 10. As for the Titans, they're 6-1 straight-up in their past seven road games, but only one of those wins came when they were an underdog and that came on Sunday against the Ravens.
Opening line: Vikings -4.5
Although the Vikings lost to the Cowboys on Sunday, they've still been one of the safest bets in the NFL over the past few weeks, going 6-2 ATS In their past eight games. That being said, the Vikings are just 2-3 straight-up in the past five games where they were favored by four or more points, including Sunday's loss to Dallas. As for the Panthers, they've been one of the best underdogs to bet on this year. Since Week 3, the Panthers have been a 'dog seven times and they've gone 6-1 ATS in those games (4-3 straight-up).
Opening line: Cardinals -2.5
The Patriots are an underdog in this game, which is notable, because they actually seem to do pretty well as an underdog. In their past 12 games as an underdog, the Patriots have gone 9-3 ATS and 8-4 straight-up. One other reason to like the Patriots is because they're 7-2 straight-up (6-3 ATS) in their past nine games against NFC teams. As for the Cardinals, they're 2-7 ATS and 3-6 straight-up in the past nine games where they've been favored.
Opening line: Dolphins -7
Although the Dolphins lost on Sunday, they've still been a solid team to bet on this season. In their past six games, they've gone 5-1 both straight-up and ATS. The Dolphins are also 7-2 straight-up and 7-1-1 ATS in their past nine games against the Jets. That being said, one reason to like the Jets is because home underdogs in divisional games are 14-4 ATS this season. The Jets are also 3-1 ATS in their past four games after starting the season 0-6.
Opening line: Browns -7
If there's one team you never want to bet on as a road favorite, it's the Cleveland Browns. In their past five games where they were favored on the road, the Browns are 1-4 straight-up and 0-5 ATS. The Browns are also 1-6 ATS in their past seven road games overall. The past five weeks haven't been pretty either, as the Browns have gone 1-4 ATS in their past five games. On the Jaguars' end, not only have the lost nine straight, but they're 2-6 ATS in their past eight games. One thing to like about the Jags is that they're 11-3 ATS in the past 14 games where they've been an underdog of a touchdown or more.
Saints (8-2) at Broncos (4-6)
Opening line: Saints -6
If you're scared off by the fact that the Saints won't have Drew Brees this week, don't be. In the past six games they've played without Brees, the Saints have gone 6-0 both straight-up and ATS. The Saints are also 9-1 straight-up in their past 10 games against AFC teams (5-5 ATS). As for the Broncos, they've won two straight games as a home underdog, including Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Opening line: Rams -7
If there's one underdog you don't want to bet against, it's the 49ers. In their past 10 games as an underdog, the Niners are 7-3 ATS (6-4 straight-up). The 49ers have also beaten the Rams three straight times, including back in Week 6 when San Francisco won 24-16 as a 2.5-point underdog. As for the Rams, since Sean McVay was hired in 2017, they've been favored by seven or more points a total of 19 times and in those 19 games, they've gone 17-2 straight-up (10-8-1 ATS). The Rams are also one of just three teams who are still undefeated at home this season (4-0). In their past nine games at home, the Rams are 8-1 straight-up and 6-2-1 ATS.
Opening line: Chiefs -3
This will be the 22nd road start of Patrick Mahomes' career and if the past is any indication, it might be smart to bet on him. In the previous 21 games, Mahomes has gone15-6-1 ATS. On the other hand, one issue with betting the Chiefs in this spot is that they're 3-7-1 ATS in their past 11 regular season games against teams from the NFC (6-5 straight-up). As for the Buccaneers, they've been absolutely disastrous as an underdog. In the past nine games where that has happened, Tampa has gone 2-7 straight-up and 2-6-1 ATS. That being said, one of those two wins came back in Week 6 when the Buccaneers beat the Packers 38-10 in a game where Green Bay was favored by three points.
This game will mark the fourth time that Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes have met on the field. In the previous three games, Brady has gone 2-1 both straight-up and ATS.
Bears (5-5) at Packers (7-3)
Opening line: Packers -8
This rivalry has been pretty one-sided over the past four years. Since the start of the 2016 season, the Packers have gone 7-1 straight-up against the Bears and 5-3 ATS. That being said, the Packers haven't done a great job of covering large point spreads, going 3-6 ATS In the past nine games where they were favored by a touchdown or more. As for the Bears, they've looked horrible over the past four weeks, going 0-4 straight-up and 1-3 ATS. Chicago is coming off a bye this week, which is notable, because the Bears are have been atrocious off the bye, going 0-6 both straight-up and ATS since the start of the 2014 season.
Opening line: Seahawks -6
Although the Seahawks generally dominate in primetime games at home, the same can't be said on the road. In their past four road primetime games, they've gone 1-3 both straight-up and ATS. The Seahawks are also 0-5-1 ATS in the past six games where they were favored by six points or more. As for the Eagles, they're 3-12 straight-up and 4-11 ATS in their past 15 games as a home underdog. One thing to like about the Eagles though is that they're 8-1 straight-up in their past nine home primetime games.

Colin Kaepernick: The Flag Is Just A Piece Of Cloth
(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick believes that the flag of the United States is nothing more than simply a piece of cloth.
"At the end of the day the flag is just a piece of cloth and I am not going to value a piece of cloth over people's lives. That's just not something I can do, it's not something I feel morally right doing and my character won't allow me to do that," Kaepernick told reporters in response to criticism from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to The Star. (RELATED: Clay Travis: Colin Kaepernick Is A Stooge [VIDEO])

He also added, "It is disappointing to hear a Supreme Court justice call a protest against injustices and oppression 'stupid, dumb' in reference to players doing that."
The dual-threat quarterback has refused to back down from his stance of protesting the national anthem, and has only continued to dig in deeper. There's no doubt his latest comments will draw plenty of backlash.

Sydney Edward Wright (Waverley, Sydney, Nova Gal·les del Sud, 3 de juny de 1914 - Drummoyne, Sydney, Nova Gal·les del Sud, 7 d'octubre de 1966) va ser un químic, farmacèutic, professor universitari i pacifista australià.

Biografia i trajectòria professional
Després de cursar l'educació secundària a Sydney entre els anys 1930 i 1931, es convertí en aprenent de farmacèutic a Washington H. Soul, Pattinson & Co. El 1934 completà els dos anys necessaris d'estudi a temps parcial a la Universitat de Sydney, guanyant la medalla d'or de la Societat Farmacèutica de Nova Gal·les del Sud. Després de continuar estudiant a la universitat, el 1935 va obtenir un diploma en ciències farmacèutiques. Un cop graduada, es va traslladar a Brisbane on va ensenyar (1938-44) farmàcia al Central Technical College, i també va estudiar ciències a la Universitat de Queensland. Més endavant, entre els anys 1944 i 1946 va fer classes de química a aquesta universitat. El 1943 es va casar amb Phyllis May Edwards, també farmacèutica, a l'Església Metodista Clayfield.

El 1946, Wright fou nomenat director del New Zealand College of Pharmacy, de Wellington. Convençut que els farmacèutics necessitaven una educació sòlida basada en les ciències químiques i biològiques, va intentar convèncer els membres de la Societat Farmacèutica de Nova Zelanda i el govern que substituís el sistema de formació existent per un curs universitari a temps complet. Sense èxit, va tornar a Austràlia el 1950 com a professor superior de farmàcia a la Universitat de Sydney, i va ser ascendit a professor associat el 1956.

Wright va advocar per una qualificació professional dels farmacèutics a Nova Gal·les del Sud i per a una escola d'investigació per proporcionar títols i diplomes de postgrau. A causa de la seva reputació d'esquerres, la seva primera sol·licitud de visat d'entrada als Estats Units d'Amèrica va ser rebutjada, però el 1956 se li va permetre viatjar. També va visitar Europa per avaluar els plans d'estudis i dissenyar un curs adequat per als australians. Quan els primers estudiants en un curs complet de tres anys en farmàcia es van matricular a la Universitat de Sydney el 1960, aquell mateix any, Wright es va convertir en professora de química farmacèutica.

Tot i que va continuar perseguint els seus interessos en investigació, la preocupació principal de Wright va ser la promoció de la farmàcia professional. El 1952-66 fou membre de la Junta de Farmàcia i del consell de la Societat Farmacèutica de Nova Gal·les del Sud. Va participar en la creació del New South Wales Pharmacy Research Trust el 1961. Va formar part de diversos grups governamentals, com el Comitè Assessor de l'Estat contra els Verins, els Comitès d'Activitats i Additius d'Aliments del Consell Nacional de Recerca Mèdica i de Salut, un grup que revisa la farmacopea britànica, i el Comitè de normes de substàncies terapèutiques del Departament de la Salut del Comú.

Trajectòria com a pacifista
Destacat en el moviment pacifista, Wright va ser membre del comitè executiu de la Convenció australiana sobre la pau i la guerra, que es va celebrar a Sydney el setembre de 1953. A l'abril de l'any següent va organitzar una reunió contra la guerra a l'ajuntament. Wright fou censurada per l'administració de la universitat per haver acollit una recepció amb dos activistes de la pau, Josef Hromadka i Kathleen Lonsdale, a les instal·lacions de la Unió Universitària de Sydney. El 1962, Wright va ajudar a organitzar les marxes de "prohibició de la bomba" a Sydney.

Many people who become interested in holistic spiritual healing at one point or another feel drawn to sharing their talents with others like themselves. There are many ways to do this.
You can join an organization that provides healing and meets weekly.
There are many organizations who hold these kinds of meetings. One respected group is organized through the Edgar Cayce Institute in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
You can join online groups that take requests for healing and then work with healers to assign those requests.
One respected organization for online healing is The Distant Healing Network.
Or you can start your own healing circle.
Whither you're practicing by yourself or with a group of healers, the main process for setting a circle is the same. It can be as elaborate as you'd like, or as simple. Don't under estimate the simplistic, it's often the more comfortable and therefore can be more successful.

You can replace any of this with the labels you feel more comfortable with. For instance, I'll The GreatSpirits which is the label I give to the divine force in my beliefs. You might prefer to use God, Jesus, Goddess, Abraham, Buddha or some other name for your beliefs. The point is to choose the label that feels most comfortable to you and your healing partners.
GreatSpirits, I ask for your help to clear and cleanse this space for our gathering to provide healing to those in need. To send your love, energy and protection to bless our work and empower our working with your divine light and energy. So Mote It Be.

Vietnam Vete rans Day
Vietnam Veterans Day is commemorated on 18 August every year. The day was originally known as Long Tan Day, chosen to commemorate the men of D Company, 6RAR who fought in the battle of Long Tan in 1966. On that day, 108 Australian and New Zealand soldiers fought a pitched battle against over 2,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong troops in a rubber plantation not far from the small village of Long Tan. The Australians prevailed, but only after fighting in torrential rain for four hours. Eighteen Australians lost their lives and 24 were wounded, the largest number of casualties in one operation since the Australian task force had arrived a few months earlier. After the battle the bodies of 245 enemy soldiers were found, but there was evidence that many more bodies had been carried away.
On the third anniversary of Long Tan, 18 August 1969, a cross was raised on the site of the battle by the men of 6RAR. Veterans from the battle gathered at the cross to commemorate the fallen, and the day was commemorated by them as Long Tan Day from then on. Over time, all Vietnam veterans ad opted the day as one to commemorate those who served and died in Vietnam. In 1987, following the very successful Welcome Home parade for Vietnam veterans in Sydney, Prime Minister Bob Hawke announced that Long Tan Day would be known as Vietnam Veterans Day. Since then, it has been commemorated every year as the day on which the service of all those men and women who served in Vietnam is remembered.
Each year in the Yarra Valley, Vietnam Veterans Day Commemorations are rotated between Healesville, Warburton, Upper Yarra, Yarra Glen and Lilydale RSL's. The service commences at 11am at that years venue.

Eni takes FID on Angolan gas first
Eni, with its partners in the New Gas Consortium, has taken a final investment decision in Angola's first non-associated gas development project, the development of the Quiluma and Maboqueiro (Q&M) fields.
The project includes two offshore wellhead platforms, an onshore gas processing plant and a connection to Angola LNG plant for the marketing of condensates and gas via LNG cargoes. Project execution activities will start in 2022 with a first gas planned in 2026 and an expected production of 330 mmscf/day at plateau (approximately 4 billion cubic meters/year).
Eni says the sanctioning of the Q&M Project is an important milestone towards unlocking new undeveloped sources of energy, sustaining a reliable supply of gas to the Angola LNG plant, and fostering the continued economic and social development of Angola.
The New Gas Consortium partners encompass Eni (25.6%, operator), Chevron affiliate CABGOC (31%), Sonangol P&P (19.8%), bp (11.8%) and TotalEnergies (11.8%).
Eni holds a 13.6% interest in Angola LNG, together with Chevron affiliate CABGOC (36.4%), Sonangol (22.8%), bp (13.6%) and TotalEnergies (13.6%). The plant is located in Soyo, Province of Zaire and has a treatment capacity of approximately 353 bcf a year of feed gas and a liquefaction capacity of 5.2 mmtonnes a year of LNG.
Eni has been present in Angola since 1980. Currently, the company operates Blocks 15/06, Cabinda Norte, Cabinda Centro, 1/14, 28 and has in addition a stake in non-operated Blocks 0 (Cabinda), 3/05, 3/05A, 14, 14 K/A-IMI, 15.
In March 2022, Eni signed an agreement with bp to form a joint venture company called Azule Energy, combining both companies' businesses in Angola. The Operatorship of the Q&M Project will be guaranteed by Azule Energy after the Completion Date of the transaction.

Amenity Experts Keep Developers From Wasting Money On Perks Tenants Don't Need

In the hopes of winning the war for tenants, multifamily developers have begun shelling out for increasingly elaborate offerings in their buildings, from rooftop movie theaters to private bars and restaurants. But are luxury amenities actually a draw for residents, or just a waste of money?
"We see it all the time," said Jean Potter, co-founder and CEO of NFC Amenity Management. "Property owners pour money into expensive, beautiful amenities only to discover that their residents have no interest in using them."
When it comes to amenities, Potter's mantra is "utilization drives value," and she believes that implementing innovative amenity programming is the key to driving utilization. A developer can build a gorgeous rooftop pool atop a multifamily building, but if residents are not using it, it has no value. Considering the cost of installing a rooftop pool can exceed $1M, that is a lot of money to be throwing away.
Encouraging utilization starts with choosing the right amenities for the right community. Potter said that developers may think that all tenants prioritize a rooftop lounge or a spa above all else, but that is not always the case. NFC has found that amenity preferences differ by geography, housing type and target demographic.
"All too often developers don't realize that it's not a one-size-fits-all system," Potter said. "In New York, it might be about fitness centers and pools. In the Mid-Atlantic, they may want concierge and lifestyle services. The key is to work with a team that knows the trends in each area."
NFC employs staff in each major U.S. market. The team meets weekly to share insights on what amenities residents are asking for in their markets, what works to engage tenants and which perks are proving to be flops. Then, they share this information with their developer clients to determine which amenities belong in their buildings.
"We handle the amenities, soup to nuts," Potter said. "We take care of everything from operational design, to staffing, to designing and implementing programming that inspires residents to make the most out of everything a building has to offer — spa treatments, yoga classes, coworking spaces and beyond."

As amenities have become more complex, they are working to create not just conveniences, but experiences, to encourage neighbors to get to know each other. From wine tastings and wellness lectures to viewing parties and Sunday brunches, the NFC team has helped property managers put together social events that foster a sense of community.
"It's all about building lasting relationships," Potter said. "If residents make friends in a building, they may be more likely to stay there. We create programs that foster the types of connections that drive retention."
To determine whether certain amenity programming is driving value, NFC's lifestyle managers keep tight statistics on attendance and the cost of each event per resident. If something is no longer engaging tenants, they move on to something that does.
The key, according to Potter, is to implement amenities that can change along with a neighborhood. What is popular now may not be popular a year from now. Rather than having to renovate to keep up with the latest trends, she explained, developers should be installing flexible spaces that can easily be transformed from a Pilates studio, to a spa, to a dog grooming salon to keep up with changing resident expectations.
This is why Potter recommends that developers involve NFC as early as possible in the building planning stages, before the foundation of any amenities have been laid.
"Developers and general contractors have a lot on their mind. We know amenities might not be their top priority from the beginning," Potter said. "But we're obsessed with amenities and we have the country-wide knowledge and expertise to make sure they are designing the right spaces and implementing the right programming."

TensorFlow is a powerful open source software library for numerical computation, particularly well suited and fine-tuned for large-scale Machine Learning. Its basic principle is simple: you first define in Python a graph of computations to perform (for example, the one in Figure 9-1), and then TensorFlow takes that graph and runs it efficiently using optimized C++ code.
Most importantly, it is possible to break up the graph into several chunks and run them in parallel across multiple CPUs or GPUs (as shown in Figure 9-2). TensorFlow also supports distributed computing, so you can train colossal neural networks on humongous training sets in a reasonable amount of time by splitting the computations across hundreds of servers (see Chapter 12). TensorFlow can train a network with millions of parameters on a training set composed of billions of instances with millions of features each. This should come as no surprise, since TensorFlow was developed by the Google Brain team and it powers many of Google's large-scale services, such as Google Cloud Speech, Google Photos, and Google Search.

The second-smallest independent country in the Western Hemisphere and the easternmost Caribbean Island, Barbados lies between the Caribbean Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean. It is located east of the Windward Islands and roughly 200 mi (320 km) north-northeast of Trinidad and Tobago. The low-lying island is composed of limestone and coral and almost totally ringed with undersea coral reefs. Barbados is situated on the Caribbean Tectonic Plate. Numerous inland cliffs were created by past seismic activity.
MOUNTAINS AND HILLS
Barbados is mostly flat, but a series of terraces rises from the western coast to a central ridge, culminating in the highest point, Mt. Hillaby (1,102 ft / 336 m), in the north-central part of the island. Hackleton's Cliff at the eastern edge of the island's central plateau rises to 1,000 ft (305 m) above sea level and extends over several miles. South and east of this elevated area is the smaller Christ Church ridge. They are separated by the St. George Valley. At one time this valley was covered by a shallow sea, with each ridge forming a separate island.
Barbados has no rivers and little surface water of any other kind, but a few springs are fed by underground water stored in limestone beds and some water courses are temporarily filled by heavy rains.
THE COAST, ISLANDS, AND THE OCEAN
The western coast of Barbados borders the Caribbean Sea, and its eastern coast borders the North Atlantic Ocean. The port city of Bridgetown is located on Barbados's only natural harbor, Carlisle Bay, at the southwestern end of the island. The coast is ringed by flat land and wide strips of sandy beach. At Ragged Point at the eastern
end of the island, flat rocks form a low, jagged rim to the ocean. The southern and northern ends of the island are known as South Point and North Point, respectively.
CLIMATE AND VEGETATION
The northeasterly trade winds that blow across Barbados's eastern coast, which faces the Atlantic Ocean, moderate the island's tropical maritime Caribbean climate. The weather is cool and dry between December and May, and hotter and humid during the rainy season between June and December. Temperatures in the capital city of Bridgetown range from 70–82°F (21–28°C) in February to 73–86°F (23–30°C) in June and September.
Barbados's most important natural resource is sugarcane; the sugarcane industry was the island's most important economic sector until the 1960s, when it was surpassed by tourism. Barbados also has modest natural gas and petroleum resources and supports a fishing industry.

Q: converting the letter ي with ی is there any way to convert Arabic ي to the Persian ي in React JS? I have an array of data in Persian language which contains the Arabic ي . and that's because of bad language support for Persian.
if I want to make a search functionality, I must enter ي instead ی and I can't force people to do this. how can I solve it?
there's a similar question here but with C#.
for example :
const items = ["ماشین","هواپیما","موبایل","کامپیوتر"]
const searchedItem = items.filter(item=>item==="ماشین")

in order to search "ماشین" (car) I need to type it with ي . it won't work with regular ی

A:

const items = ["ماشین","هواپیما","موبایل","کامپیوتر"]
const searchedItem = items.filter(item=>item==="ماشین" || item === 'ماشین'.replace(/ي/g, 'ی'))
console.log(searchedItem)

A: If you can, fix the data instead of putting a character replacement on the frontend.
Otherwise, if you have more than ten+ or unknown phrases with that character, and especially if you want fuzzy search... you're going to have to scan every character for each datum. Since strings are immutable, you could make a character array and then return the new filtered character instead.

GRED dashboard displaying rooftop data from the wind turbine, solar array, and green roof
Innovatively using Vernier technology beyond the walls and time constraints of a typical classroom, Chris Gleason, a middle school science teacher, and her husband, Jim, a retired electrical engineer, created the Greenhills Renewable Energy Dashboard (GRED). GRED collects, displays, and archives continuous, real-time performance data from the rooftop renewable energy resources at Greenhills School in Ann Arbor, Michigan. These include a 10 W wind turbine, a 5 W solar array, and a living green roof that covers portions of the school's standard white roof. GRED also captures environmental data, including wind speed and solar irradiance, from a rooftop Davis weather station.
The GRED components are on display inside the school. Control and data acquisition is enabled by multiple Vernier technologies: two SensorDAQ® interfaces, four current sensors, three voltage sensors, two rooftop temperature sensors (one pinned to the white roof and one tucked under the green roof), and a Digital Control Unit (DCU). The wind turbine and solar array are connected to a 12 V battery via their respective charge controllers that provide power to two 5 W LEDs.
A custom LabVIEW program displays selected real-time and historical data. The program also archives all of the data in spreadsheet files for access by teachers and students. The on/off state of the LEDs are controlled by the LabVIEW program (via the DCU and a relay) to periodically illuminate a dedication wall.
Chris Gleason believes GRED exemplifies how middle and high school science teachers can enhance student learning by integrating educational resources related to energy, weather, data analysis, and STEM.
In the hope that GRED will be useful to other middle and high schools and will lead to the development and sharing of ideas on how to better leverage the existing investment, including hardware architecture and control software, GRED data and documentation is available.

Oklahomské závody o půdu (anglicky Land runs, v jednotném čísle Land run nebo Land rush) byly Spojenými státy americkými organizované zábory půdy odkoupené vládou USA od indiánů mnoha různých kmenů (například to byli Čerokézové, Čejeni, Čikasavové, Čoktavové, Kikapové, Kríkové, Čejeni, Komančové a Apači) ve státě Oklahoma. Probíhaly v zásadě na principu, že ten, kdo si první půdu vyznačil, ji směl poté zaregistrovat a stal se jejím vlastníkem. Zábory začínaly po daném znamení, a potenciální vlastníci se potom rozběhli zabírat pozemky.
 První a nejslavnější zábor proběhl 22. dubna 1889 na území dnešních oklahomských okresů Canadian, Cleveland, Kingfisher, Logan, Oklahoma a Payne.
 22., 23. a 28. září 1891 proběhly zábory na území dnešních okresů Pottawatomie a Lincoln.
 Další zábor se konal 19. dubna 1892 na bývalém území Čejenů a Arapahů.
 Zábor 16. září 1893 se anglicky označuje Cherokee Strip Land Run (Závod o čerokézský pruh půdy) a byl co do rozsahu území největší ze všech.
 Poslední velký zábor se konal roku 1895 na bývalém území Kikapů. Poté se zabírání bývalé indiánské půdy provádělo většinou již aukcemi konanými obálkovou metodou.
 Poslední a malý závod o půdu proběhl 6. srpna 1901 v obci Arcadia.

Q: SimpleCursorAdapter keeps throwing error for API 10 My project has a minSDK of 10 and a target of 17. I've added android-support-v4.jar to the project build path by right-clicking on the .jar file and selecting "Build Path -> Add to Build Path". When I clean the project, the errors for SimpleCursorAdapter are gone. However when I try and run the activity, I get the following error:

01-05 23:42:56.187: E/AndroidRuntime(483):
  java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter.

Also, if I make changes to the activity I have to clean the project every time just to get rid of the error with SimpleCursorAdapter.
What am I missing here? Why isn't this working properly?

A: You should be using the compatibility version of the class. Check your imports and make sure you are using this:
import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;


"Quick, easy and very moist spice cake! It makes a great snack!"
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan. In a medium bowl, combine raisins and flour. Add cinnamon, cloves and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Dissolve baking soda into applesauce and mix into creamed butter. Add flour mixture. Mix until smooth.
Pour batter into a 9 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F ( 175 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of cake comes out clean.
It was easy to make. Obtained a messy, sticky goo upon chopping the raisins with my food processer. Should be left as they are.
Awesome. I didn't have ground cloves on hand, so I used allspice. I also substituted dark brown sugar for the white. Definitely a keeper. Thanks, Corwynn.
Super easy and super delicious AND healthy too! Cloves were a bit strong. Will reduce next time. Only alteration was I put in 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts! Yum I am saving this one!

If you're following along, I mentioned maturity as my guess for what is behind turning pro really means. I did this, seriously, without looking ahead at today's assignment.
