New technique controls dimensions of gold nanorods while manufacturing on a large scale
Nov. 19, 2013 — North Carolina State University researchers have developed a technique for efficiently producing nanoscale gold rods in large quantities while simultaneously controlling the dimensions of the nanorods and their optical properties. The optical properties of gold nanorods make them desirable for use in biomedical applications ranging from imaging technologies to cancer treatment.
"This technique should facilitate the economical manufacture of large volumes of gold nanorods," says Dr. Joseph Tracy, an associate professor of materials science and engineering at NC State and senior author of a paper on the work. "And that should be good news for both the science community and the biomedical research and development community."
The NC State team started with an existing technique, in which gold nanorods are formed by mixing two chemical solutions together. However, that technique only converts 30 percent of the gold into nanorods -- the rest remains dissolved in solution.
To convert the remaining 70 percent of the gold into nanorods, the researchers added a continuous stream of ascorbic acid (better known as vitamin C) to the solution, while constantly stirring the mixture. The ascorbic acid essentially pulls the gold out of the solution and deposits it on the existing nanorods.
But the researchers also found that the slower they added the ascorbic acid, the stubbier the nanorods became. This is important because the optical properties of gold nanorods depend on their "aspect ratio" -- their relative height and width. For example, long, thin gold nanorods absorb light at wavelengths greater than 800 nanometers (in the near infrared spectrum), while shorter, wider gold nanorods absorb light at wavelengths below 700 nanometers (red or dark red).
"The ability to fine-tune these optical properties will likely be useful for the development of new biomedical applications," Tracy says.

ANY ARTICLES printed over the years in the Sacred Music Journal have more to do with Liturgy and Theology than they do with the subject of music. However, this is not meant to be a criticism. Many of them are quite interesting and worthy of careful reflection. Furthermore, they serve as a "testimony" to the times, providing a window, as it were, for future generations into "what was happening" with the Liturgy in 1930, 1940, 1970, etc.
I was recently reading the following article by Andrew Nash. (You can download the entire thing as a PDF below.) Sacred Music usually does a really nice job providing a Bio of each contributor, usually at the end of the issue. However, for some reason, no Bio was provided for Andrew Nash. Perhaps this was an oversight.
But even brief comments are comments. They assume a need to comment. The liturgy has become an activity which is no longer self-explanatory. It is not something which it is natural just to do. It has become an artificial activity—something which doesn't come naturally. Contrast it, for instance, with the natural rituals of daily life. When we shake hands, we do not feel the need to explain, "By this gesture I am establishing contact with you." Even more, when we express affection by an embrace or tousling a child's hair, this needs no explanation. The rituals of family life—singing "Happy birthday to you," putting up a Christmas tree, cutting a wedding cake—need no explanation and would of course be killed by one. Communal worship, however, has apparently ceased to be something we can do without constant explanatory comment. This is a most extraordinary state of affairs.
. . . None of these [hymns] was liturgical. They were imported into the liturgy but were massively supplemented, indeed soon swamped by, the Protestant hymnody. Many of these are very splendid hymns— but they necessarily brought with them their contexts of Anglican or evangelical worship. Their melodies, rhythms, vocabulary, diction, sometimes even theology and certainly spirituality, were non-native to the Catholic liturgy. (Even those which are translations of ancient hymns from the divine office had never existed in their vernacular form as such.) It is significant that the most progressive liturgists quickly found them unsatisfactory— they were old fashioned and formal. What was wanted was something friendlier and more informal. And so 1960's "folk" music was imported into the new liturgy.

Q: How to addslashes between two tags? How to addslashes to the alt text. The problem is an unwanted single quote.
text is -> alt='Photo od additional paintings from Isaac Sutton's collection after unpacking'
should be -> alt='Photo od additional paintings from Isaac Sutton\'s collection after unpacking'

A: "How to addslashes?"
By using addslashes()!
$txt = "Photo od additional paintings from Isaac Sutton's collection after unpacking";
$txt = addslashes($txt);

Having said that, even with a slash this won't work in your alt and title attributes since \ isn't an HTML escape character.
You either need to use double quotes in your  tag attributes, or using htmlentities() like this:
$txt = htmlentities($txt, ENT_QUOTES);

A: Use double quotes around the alt tag instead of the single quotes.

A: You will have to escape the value before using it in a HTML attribute. A backslash before the single quote will not work. In HTML/XML single quotes are escaped as an entity.
If you use DOM to create the HTML, it will take care of the escaping. If you create the HTML as text, htmlspecialchars() can do the job.
$text = "Additional paintings from Isaac Sutton's collection after unpacking";

var_dump(htmlspecialchars($text, ENT_QUOTES | ENT_HTML401));

Output:
string(72) "Additional paintings from Isaac Sutton's collection after unpacking"

A: <?php
$alt=htmlentities("Photo od additional paintings from Isaac Sutton's collection after unpacking");
?>
<img src="aamra24_ahmed_shafi1.jpg" width="473" height="347" alt="<?=$alt?>" />

In 2009 I asked the members of the Board a series of questions in an attempt to find a 'third space' of information about the organisation. It was little known, highly irrelevant information that nonetheless affects the way the organisation is run. It resulted in a series of three works about them, their colour, hobbies and favourite books.

And so six centuries after their composition, Nepos still found an eager new audience for his biographies, one that would ensure that at least some of his writings would survive to be read in turn by you, over two millennia after Nepos first conceived of his project.
The Iliad is generally considered the oldest work of Western literature. Whether that was really the case is disputable. Greek and Roman history from to B.
Although Greek poets and scholars were still active during this period, little has survived of their writings. His works have not only had artistic influence on later theater but have also served as historical documents about life in Athens. Ovations were granted when war was not declared between enemies on the level of states, when an enemy was considered basely inferior slaves, piratesand when the general conflict was resolved with little to no bloodshed or danger to the army itself.
The purpose of writing Ab Urbe Condita was twofold: Suetonius wrote a large number of biographies on important literary figures of the past De Viris Illustribus. Not all of it has survived to the present day, but there are a number of references in other sources to attribute fragments to this collection.
Fabius Pictor is known for the establishment of the "ab urbe condita" tradition of historiography which is writing history "from the founding of the city". His main work is The Elements which is still used as a textbook in mathematics and may only be exceeded by the Bible in terms of copies sold.
Indeed, much of what Sallust writes in this work does not even concern Catiline. The Theatre of Pompey Latin: The chronicle has not survived in its original form, but it had a lasting influence on Byzantine writers, and several Greek chronicles are derived from it, in varying degrees.
In poetry the genius of the Hellenes created both form and content, which have remained a constant source of inspiration in European literature. The classical Greek and Roman concepts of friendship were different but by the first century C.
Consequently, Nepos warns that his readers should not be shocked to see illustrious foreigners engaging in behavior that would seem scandalous or reprehensible if undertaken by a Roman.
Harvard University, A large portion of it is made up of case studies. In spite of continual internal disputes, the Greeks succeeded in warding off the threat of Asian despotism. The manuscripts of Diodorus stop at the end of the fourth century B.
During the period of scholarly experimentation in the fourth and third centuries BC, many Greek authors composed works that were essentially biographical in nature, often with the aim of exposing the truth about a figure's character.
His main work is The Elements which is still used as a textbook in mathematics and may only be exceeded by the Bible in terms of copies sold. In what remains, however, we can discern the essential features that would come to define the genre of biography: Other literary sources There are other sources that either contain references to events of various periods, or focus on one particular geographical area.
Seneca writes to Lucilius: He also calculated the value of pi very precisely. This style allowed him to compare the achievements and downfalls of each emperor using various examples of imperial responsibilities, such as building projects and public entertainment.
In modern society the private spheres of friendship and family are segregated from the public spheres of labor and politics. Modern taste generally considers this type of rhetoric to be empty and useless. Biographies illuminate the characters of some of the leading men of the period.
Biography, therefore, had an intrinsic value for all readers, no matter how humble, as they could observe examples of noble or iniquitous action and model their behavior accordingly, even if the circumstances of their lives were more limited than those experienced by the most preeminent figures in a given profession.
Only seven have survived in entity, but they include classics such as Antigone, Oedipus the King and Electra.
Livy[ edit ] Titus Livius, commonly known as Livywas a Roman historian best known for his work entitled Ab Urbe Conditawhich is a history of Rome "from the founding of the city".
He wrote about 95 plays, 18 of which have survived completely and many more as fragments. Timaeus wrote with a negative view of Rome. Other writers provide details about particular episodes. As a result, they suffered a terrible defeat. Hippocrates has also made a direct contribution to medicine as he was the first to describe a number of illnesses.
The hetaery was a political faction and the most important force in Greek politics. Numerous sciences and literary genres were founded by Greeks, and many of their writings have survived more or less complete. Little is known about his life, but based on an epitaph found in Padua, he had a wife and two sons.
Strabo wrote a more general Geography of the known world, in which he often included brief summaries of the notable events and persons associated with the cities and regions that he was describing. The existence of models and influences, however, should not diminish the achievement of the Lives, which refashioned Greek and Roman history and culture through the lens of biography, while elevating Roman achievements to the same level of prestige enjoyed by the luminaries of Greece.

Can criminal behavior be predicted?
It sounds like science fiction, but data analysts are using the tools of their trade to predict some types of crime —information that could be used to keep people safe. One of Wang's specialties is using analytics to improve public safety by predicting criminal behavior patterns.
What is criminal behavior determined by?
Criminal behavior occurs when individuals are not properly socialized and thus do not feel bound by the laws, rules, and mores that have been established by society.
What are the most important variable in predicting criminal behavior?
Demographic factors have been cited as the strongest determinants of crime rates and hence have been central to crime predictions. The key demographic variable appears to be the size of the male population within the crime-prone years of 15 to 25.

What is the best predictor of criminal behavior?
Gender Remains the Best Predictor of Criminal Behaviour.
Can you be a born criminal?
Instead, using concepts drawn from physiognomy, degeneration theory, psychiatry, and Social Darwinism, Lombroso's theory of anthropological criminology essentially stated that criminality was inherited, and that someone " born criminal " could be identified by physical (congenital) defects, which confirmed a criminal as
What is the most common cause of criminal behavior?
The causes of crime are complex. Poverty, parental neglect, low self-esteem, alcohol and drug abuse can be connected to why people break the law. Some are at greater risk of becoming offenders because of the circumstances into which they are born.
What are the 7 types of crimes?
murder, assault, kidnapping, manslaughter, rape. property crimes. arson (to an extent), vandalism, burglary, theft, shoplifting. public order crimes.
What are some examples of criminal behavior?
Crime can involve violence, sex or drugs but also discrimination, road rage, undeclared work and burglary. Crime is any behaviour and any act, activity or event that is punishable by law.
What are the techniques of studying criminal Behaviour?
These research methods include: survey research, experimental and quasi-experimental research, cross-sectional research, longitudinal research, time series research, and meta-analysis. Survey research.
What is the largest predictor of crime?
Although delinquency is the strongest predictor of adult offending, there is less evidence on whether predictors of juvenile delinquency are similar to those of adult offending. More longitudinal studies would provide insight on how factors are associated with adult offending.

Independent variable causes an effect on the dependent variable. Example: How long you sleep (independent variable) affects your test score (dependent variable). This makes sense, but: Example: Your test score affects how long you sleep.
What are the 3 theories of criminal behavior?
Broadly speaking, criminal behavior theories involve three categories of factors: psychological, biological, and social.
What does R stand for in the Criminal formula?
In this formula C represents crime, T represents antisocial tendencies, R represents resistance to such tendencies, and S represents the situation or setting.
Who is the father of criminology?
This idea first struck Cesare Lombroso, the so-called "father of criminology," in the early 1870s.

As the Rijksmuseum's technical art historian, I work with curators, conservators and scientists, PhD students, Postdocs and interns, on examining objects from the Rijksmuseum's superb and diverse collection.This blog, written by me and many colleagues, will give you a glimpse of what is going on…..
This is an excellent blog for me to dip into as I'm writing about C17 European history (especially that of the Netherlands, Spain & England), and my wicked Genoese merchant, Ludo da Portovenere, is fascinated to know he can pass off glass 'rubies' as the real thing. Many thanks.
Terrific blog, Erma; I'm glad I found you!
Happy that I found your blog. Interesting reads.


For some reason I've had a few emails and linkedin questions asking me what I think about "Shift Left". I thought I'd put out a public answer.
Instead I think of supporting the growth and evolution of a System over its lifetime and I don't need "Shift Left" to do that.
What might "Shift Left" mean?
I thought about what "Shift Left" might mean, before searching the web to see what people say it means.
At first hearing, the words seem to be talking about the position of things. So perhaps it means moving people physically to sit more on the left. Which seems ridiculous and couldn't possibly mean this.
But perhaps it is referring to a factory conveyor belt assembly line production system. And we want to "Shift Left" on the conveyor belt system. Assuming the belt is moving from left to right, where left is 'less produced' and far right is 'finished' then it is actually referring to time, rather than physical position.
Perhaps it means "test early"?
If it does then it seems a tad overkill to say "Shift Left" rather than "Test Early".
The art of saying words that sound simple but which actually obscure your message. When you speak Consultant people pretend to understand you, so that they don't appear ignorant. They then repeat your phrases and spread ambiguity. You are then employed as a consultant later to fix the situation caused by the implementation of the ambiguous words.
"Test Early". Surely it can't be that simple?
Apparently it does mean test earlier.
I have nothing against the notion of "Testing stuff earlier".
I do try to "test stuff earlier".
And I can do that without the concept of "Shift Left".
And that is all it implies to me.
It offers me an overly simple model of improvement, and implies an overly simplistic model of testing, that I do not see value in adopting.
I already have a very simple model of testing that supports testing early without the concept of "Shift Left" and it is a model of testing that can adapt to Waterfall, Agile, DevOps or any other System of Development that I know of.
This simple model of testing has Testing as "a process of building a model of the system under test and evaluating the system under test in terms of the model".
Evaluate seems a bit "Consultancy Speak". Feel free to use 'compare' if you want to.
is in addition to the model.
behaviour missing from the system that I expected, this might be a "bug" or it might mean my model needs to change etc.
behaviour in the system that I didn't expect that my model did not predict. This might be a "bug", or a failure in communication where I didn't know about certain functionality, or a failure in my building of the model where I neglected to incorporate this behaviour, etc.
Remember this is a simple model that may not capture all nuances associated with testing a system.
Where does time fit in?
To incorporate 'time' in terms of "Shift Left".
Depending on when, in the System of Development, I build the model and evaluate the System Under Test against the model, I will be able to evaluate for different properties and behaviours.
e.g. I can't evaluate the GUI until the GUI is written, but I can evaluate the 'design' for the GUI or the 'wireframes' to see how it supports the expected behaviour.
Shift Left implies to me that I "Test the GUI" earlier. Or I move the "Performance Testing" earlier. And this doesnt' work for me because we've 'moved' the Performance Testing therefore we only conduct perfomance testing earlier and do not do any later. 'Shift' suggests a 'move' operation to me.
Now we do performance testing earlier. We have Shifted Left.
Perhaps it was important to conduct Performance Testing later on the production environment to make sure that our load balancers work?
Perhaps the Performance Testing that we now do early is different from the Testing we did later and now targets different risks.
Perhaps we needed to do the early performance testing and perhaps there is still value in the later Performance Testing.
The wording of "Shift Left" doesn't cover these nuances. Which doesn't mean that practitioners of "Shift Left" do not consider those nuances, but I have seen teams implement "Shift" as a 'move' rather than a nuanced 'spread and adapt' operation.
"Shift Left" concentrates on the Testing and seems to assume that we can do that without changing the System of Development.
When I create Test Approaches I concentrate on the System Of Development and depending on the System of Development I test in different ways.
If we can "Shift Left" regardless of our approach to developing the system then we have not implemented an effective Software Testing Strategy. i.e. if you can perform exactly the same "Test The GUI" task earlier, then why didn't you? It could imply some organisational issues.
If we change our System of Development and do not change the approach to testing then, frankly, we are not conducting testing effectively.
Effective testing will take advantage of new opportunities to test differently.
If we start incrementally building the system in smaller chunks then we can take advantage of this to test in shorter bursts earlier rather than a long cycle of testing at the end.
We build Systems that evolve and grow.
An Arborist is a person who looks after individual trees and plants. We wouldn't ask an Arborist to "Shift Left" and prune early. An Arborist looks after a tree as it grows. The tree changes and ages over time. The Arborist responds to the needs of the tree and the risks facing the tree, over time. The Arborist does whatever is appropriate to help the tree grow and shape within the constraints and possibilities of its environment and the needs of that environment. The tree doesn't move. The Arborist works around and within it over time.
When we build Systems. We don't "Shift Left". We craft a System of Development (which includes Testing) to meet the needs of the System we are building, to respond to Risks that we identify and the issues that we find. The Systems grow and evolve. We need to be good enough to identify improvements we can make and take advantage of opportunities to Test.
I believe that the notion of "Shift Left" is not required if we change our model of System Development.
"Shift Left" does not fit well into my Model of System Development.

Creative recruiting gains momentum for 2015 EOY entrant
Many find it challenging to balance both a career and family life, but when you are a mother of a young family with the goal of expanding your business into Africa while simultaneously increasing your local market and financial wellbeing, it sounds like an impossible task. Yet that is precisely what Laura Reynolds – business owner, wife, and mother to three young boys – decided to take on when she resigned from her stable job, at the tender age of 23 and started a recruitment company, The RecruitGroup.
For as long as Reynolds, a Rhodes University Psychology graduate, can remember, she has had a passion for business. It is with this passion that she has managed to achieve what many experienced businessmen and women have not – she has successfully managed and grown a business for nine years. "The company has experienced immense growth and is today one of South Africa's largest privately-owned recruitment companies," says Reynolds.
She says that starting her company at such a young age meant only a few people took her seriously, and many expected her to fail. Today the company has a multi-million rand turnover, a staff compliment in excess of 72, and is one of the 36% of recruitment companies that not only survived the recession in the country, but also grew in turnover during that time.
The RecruitGroup has adopted fresh work philosophies that have ensured the success of the company. An example of these philosophies include a flexi-time concept called iTime, which provides her employees with the option of going home once they have achieved what is required for the day – an idea that is aimed at creating higher morale, productivity and a decrease in absenteeism. "We implemented this philosophy to eliminate the daily commute in heavy traffic, promote smarter working strategies, and to put the ball in our employees' court. We trust and value them and most importantly, believe that they are responsible enough to deliver what is required of them without having to actually sit in the office."
In 2012 the company did away with commission structures in favour of higher basic salaries – a concept unheard of in the recruitment and sales industry. Since the introduction of this structure, the company's turnover has doubled, morale has increased and staff retention is at an all-time high, says Reynolds. "Today's workforce is bright, inquisitive, motivated and is constantly seeking new challenges. Therefore, if you want your company to succeed, it is vital to stay on top of what inspires your staff and to keep these movers and shakers interested."
Reynolds established TeacHer in 2013 and RecruitGroup Graduate Academy in 2014, initiatives which pay it forward and shares her passion. RecruitGroup Graduate Academy is an equity focused initiative aimed at training graduates in all forms of recruitment and sales while TeacHer is an initiative developed to empower young women through an experiential shadow and mentoring programme. "The aim is to empower, upskill and educate young South Africans and provide a springboard into one of our economy's most crucial areas, namely job creation."
The RecruitGroup has won a number of industry awards and accolades throughout the years – a feat that Reynolds accounts to her employees' passion for service, and the solution-driven, customer-focused services that have ensured that the company secures strong business relationships. "I believe that to survive in this difficult economic climate creativity and innovation are essential."
Reynolds lists cash-flow, productivity, and attracting and retaining the best talent as one of her greatest challenges to date, and says that she has overcome these challenges by creating unique products and services that retain the company's earnings and annuity income, and has adapted her management style to suit the different generations working within the company.
She says that although starting the business was rocky, as with all good journeys she had to find her way and forge her own route. Today she looks back and remembers the tears, the stress, and the sheer fear felt in those early days. "I can look back with pride and a sense of achievement that can only be earned by the experience of starting a business."

Robinhood's traditional and Roth IRA match to boost retirement saving
Robinhood says it'll match 1% of IRA contributions on its platform.
Nearly half of U.S. workers don't have access to a company-sponsored retirement savings plan.
Robinhood says about a half million people are already on its waitlist to open an IRA account.
It's no secret Americans struggle to save for retirement, which is why online brokerage Robinhood's offering people an incentive to do it.
Robinhood launched this week a 1% match to users who save money in an individual retirement account (IRA) on its platform.
So, for each dollar users contribute from any linked external bank account to their retirement fund on Robinhood, they'll instantly get a 1% match from the platform. Customers can get on the waitlist now to sign up for the program.
Typically, employers — not brokerages – match their employee's contributions in a company-sponsored 401(k) retirement plan. Matches are often seen as "free money" where people don't have to do anything, but save for themselves, to get. But nearly half of U.S. workers aren't even covered by a retirement plan at work, much less have access to a company match, according to a study earlier this year by economist John Sabelhaus of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
"In the current economy – the traditional components of retirement savings in the U.S. – a corporate pension, supplemental savings in a 401(k) and Social Security– don't work for everyone, including many in the next generation of (gig) workers," said Robinhood chief brokerage officer Steve Quirk.
Who can benefit from this offer?
Everyone, but especially the growing market of people who are self-employed, gig workers, temporary workers, or at small businesses that typically don't or can't offer savings benefits.
About 57 million Americans took freelance work in 2019, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce said. During the COVID-19 pandemic and this year's inflation surge, even more workers joined the gig economy, as those who lost their full-time jobs or needed extra cash began freelancing to make ends meet. Most of them gained flexible hours but aren't eligible for employment benefits like health insurance and retirement plans.
"We're providing a path to retirement savings for those who don't have access to traditional retirement accounts or corporate matching programs or are looking to augment their workplace retirement savings," Quirk said.
Nearly half a million people are already on the wait list for an account the day after launch, Robinhood says.
What's an IRA?
It's a retirement plan opened by individuals through a bank or brokerage; whereas 401(k) retirement plans are offered by employers.
Robinhood users can choose a traditional IRA or a Roth IRA. Both offer tax advantages, with the difference being when you pay taxes.
Waiting to save:45% of young workers say they're waiting until 'things return to normal' to save for retirement
Saving into year-end:Tax moves you should make before the end of 2022 that could save you money
If you use a traditional IRA, you use pre-tax money. That means you can deduct qualified contributions from your taxes now and pay taxes on the money when it's withdrawn for retirement.
A Roth IRA allows you to contribute after-tax money. That means you pay taxes on your contributions now but get tax-free withdrawals later at retirement.
Note: early withdrawals are subject to IRS penalties and taxes so check the IRS website for rules surrounding retirement funds.
Separately, if retirement funds are withdrawn before five years from Robinhood IRAs, Robinhood could charge you an Early IRA Match Removal Fee equal to the match amount earned if your remaining IRA balance is lower than your contribution amount that earned the match.
Are there contribution limits?
Yes. Each year the IRS sets a maximum amount you can contribute to all your IRAs, including those held outside Robinhood. Matches are not counted toward your annual contribution limit.
For 2022, the contribution limit is $6,000 for people under age 50, and $7,000 for those 50 years and over.
In 2023, those limits will increase to $6,500 and $7,500, respectively.
Reaching limits:IRS raises 2023 retirement savings cap, but few even hit it. Here's what you can do about it.
Congress holds a key:Vote on SECURE Act 2.0 could help you save for retirement while paying off student debt
How much "free money" can I get from my contributions?
Robinhood will match 1% of your contributions up to the IRS limit.
If you contribute the maximum $6,000 for people under 50, you can earn up to $60 extra from Robinhood. For people 50 and over, saving the full $7,000 means they can earn up to $70 more.
Even though 1% may not sound like a lot, it can add up quickly over time due to compound growth. Compound growth means you earn returns on both your original investment and on returns you received previously.
Assume you earn the extra $60 each year for your contributions and an annualized rate of return of 10% for that match money, you can gain an extra $26,000 over 40 years for that 1% match, according to Robinhood.
Building wealth:The real recipe for a millionaire retirement: Savings, returns and time – that's all
Start early:Most older Americans would tell their younger selves to start saving for retirement sooner
What can I invest my retirement money in at Robinhood?
You can invest in stocks, exchange traded funds (ETFs), and soon you'll be able to trade options in your IRA, if eligible.
Though most of Robinhood's clientele is young (the average age of its 23 million users is 32) and self-directed investors, the brokerage firm can also recommend a portfolio, or group, of investments for you.
Each recommended portfolio includes 5 to 8 ETFs that are chosen based on your answers to questions Robinhood enters into an algorithm that matches you to investments that make sense for you.
And in Robinhood style, all your investments are commission-free.

5 things that should be on the Mets' 2020 holiday wish list
Danny Abriano
December 18, 2020, 9:27 AM ·4 min read
George Springer and Francisco Lindor TREATED ART
So far this offseason, Steve Cohen has officially taken over as the Mets' new owner, Sandy Alderson has come on board as the team president, Jared Porter has been hired as the GM, Marcus Stroman has returned, Trevor May has signed to help bolster the bullpen, and James McCann has been secured as the new catcher.
If the above seems like a lot, it is. But aside from the biggest offseason story (the-once-in-a generation ownership change), what are likely to be the other huge stories of the offseason have not yet happened.
With that, we present what should be on the Mets' holiday wish list...
It was true two months ago and remains true now: Of all the top free agents, the absolute best fit for the Mets is George Springer.
J.T. Realmuto would've been a great fit behind the plate, but the years and dollars he's seeking made that a scary proposition. And while Trevor Bauer would look terrific in the starting rotation, the Mets' bigger need at the moment is in center field.
If the Mets add Springer, it will make the return of Stroman and the relatively smaller signings of McCann and May look like the appetizers before the main course. And it will bring the Mets much closer to their goal of winning the World Series.
Even if the Mets sign Springer, there is still a scenario where they can also fit Lindor. But the likelier scenario could be turning toward a trade for Lindor if they miss out on Springer.
Alderson has mentioned his general reluctance to part with prospects via trade this offseason, though just how much the Indians will get back for Lindor has perhaps been overstated.
Lindor is one of the best players in baseball, but with him due roughly $19 million in 2021 and set for free agency after the season (any acquiring team would need to factor in the potential cost of a megadeal), it's hard to see Cleveland getting a huge haul in return -- especially given the current financial climate.
And while the Mets would have to part with some good, young pieces for Lindor, the price could be right if one of those pieces is a young shortstop who will be replaced by Lindor anyway.
Finding common ground with Michael Conforto on an extension
A potential extension for Conforto has flown under the radar a bit this offseason as many Mets fans understandably focus on new additions from outside the organization. But the clock is ticking on Conforto's Mets future.
Conforto, who is set to hit free agency after the 2021 season, is open to signing long-term with the Mets before hitting free agency. But it's hard to see him and agent Scott Boras not testing the market if something is not done by the end of spring training.
Alderson said on Mets Hot Stove that while there haven't been talks yet with Conforto's camp, he expects to "have some serious conversations."
Tick tock.
The quick return of Noah Syndergaard
With all the talk surrounding the potential signing of Bauer and/or other free agent starters, the pitcher whose uncertain status could potentially alter the fortunes of the Mets the most next season could be Syndergaard.
One of the best pitchers in baseball from 2015 to 2018, Syndergaard is making very good progress as he works his way back from Tommy John surgery.
Syndergaard has still not given up hope of being ready by Opening Day, but a more realistic timetable could have him back around June (Luis Rojas said he's "maybe a little bit ahead of schedule"). And if he's back then and also back to being the 2018 version of himself, the Mets will be in very good shape in the rotation.
The return of the DH in the NL
It remains a bit crazy that there still hasn't been a resolution one way or the other regarding whether there will again be a DH in the National League in 2021, and the answer will have a huge impact on the Mets.
They should be hoping the answer is yes, because that would allow them to play both Pete Alonso and Dominic Smith every day without having to use Smith in left field.
It would also create a much better playing time situation for J.D. Davis.
If the answer is no, things could get tricky.

November 29, 2021 (Letzte Aktualisierung: 3. Dezember 2021)
Starting out young with work can be a good way for teens to make some extra Tasche money and learn about the value of working along with developing important skills for their Zukunft. While most teens only work a couple of hours per week, it can be very beneficial in their development and help them decide on a future career by using their experience of working part-time to figure out what they enjoy, what they don't like, what they are good at, and what they're not so good at. Many teens decide to get a part-time job simply for the money, but it can provide them with so much more. For teens, working part-time can be an opportunity for friendships while giving them the chance to take on more responsibility and learn more about the world of work before working becomes essential for them to survive.
What are Some Good Jobs for 12 Year Olds and 13 Year Olds?
Twelve year olds are not permitted to work part-time, but there are several things that kids can do at this age to make some extra money and take on more responsibilities such as offering services to people in the local area, including washing cars, running errands, and walking dogs under Erwachsene supervision. The old-fashioned paper round might not be as popular as it once was due to online news taking over, but many newsagents still require people to deliver newspapers to people who read them, which can be an ideal job for a teen of thirteen to do since it only requires an hour or so in the morning before school. At thirteen, 'Saturday' jobs can also be a good idea for teenagers, such as helping out in a local small business with basic tasks like Reinigung, for a small amount of money. It is only recommended for a thirteen-year-old to work for a couple of hours per week as at this age, since school is of course their main priority.
The Best Jobs for 16 Year Olds
At sixteen, many teens start looking more seriously for work as this is the age where they can legally work more hours and can be contracted on as an employee. Most sixteen year olds are still in school or in some form of education such as A-Levels or equivalent, so it's usually a part-time job that they will look for in order to find something that fits around their education. Coffee shops, supermarkets, restaurants, fast food outlets, clothing stores, and other retail and hospitality businesses will often be the first type of job that a 16-year-old will do, as these types of businesses will often hire teens and young people. They do not mind hiring people with no previous experience, since the jobs are often easy to pick up.
Finding Jobs for 16 Year Olds UK
Whether you are sixteen and looking for your first job or are the parent of a sixteen year old who wants to start working, there are various places to look when it comes to finding a first paid role. Job boards like Indeed are a great place to start or you can search through AppJobs for gigs that are suited to your skills. Bear in mind that at sixteen, if you are looking for your first job, you won't have any previous work experience, but don't let this stand in your way. Chances are that you have developed a lot of skills from school and extra-curricular activities that you can use on your CV to help you land the job. Recruiters may be interested in hearing about your teamwork skills while working on team projects or playing sports, how you have used your communication skills in school, and how you use your skills to help organise school events, for example.
Some Good Jobs for 17 Year Olds
Like sixteen-year olds, most seventeen-year olds are also in full-time education, with part-time jobs the best option for them. At seventeen, teens also have the advantage of being old enough to have a driving license, so if passing your driving test and getting your first car is a priority to you, this could also help you find more jobs. Not only does having your own car make it easier to get to work allowing you to apply for jobs that are a little further away or have start and finish times that you'd not normally be able to do if taking public transport, but it also gives you the option of considering Lieferung jobs too. If you have a driving license, part-time delivery work might be an ideal choice for you at 17 since this is often easy to work around college or school and other commitments. However, bear in mind that if you are going to take delivery work on a gig basis, such as signing up for UberEats or Deliveroo, you will need to get food delivery car insurance to do this legally. Alternatively, you can find part-time work as a delivery Fahrer employed by a company, who will cover the insurance costs necessary.
Jobs for 18 Year Olds – What's Worth Doing?
At eighteen, teens can legally buy – and serve – alcohol, which opens up more opportunities for working part-time. Eighteen is often the age that teens head off to university which may bring with it the need to start looking for a new job in a new city. Bar work is a popular option, especially in student areas where there is often a lot of bars, clubs, and pubs that are always in need of staff. Working in a supermarket might also be easier for eighteen-year-olds since at this age, they are not restricted to the jobs that they can do in the supermarket including serving alcohol to customers when working on the checkouts.
What Hours are Under-16s Allowed to Work?
There are laws in the UK regarding child employment. While it's okay for kids to help out for pocket money under the age of thirteen, this is the youngest age that a child can legally work part-time. There are exceptions for children who are involved in theatre, television, and modelling work, for which they will need a performance license.
Teens are only able to start working full-time once they have reached the minimum school leaving age, at which point they are able to work up to forty hours per week maximum. Employers need to pay any employees who are aged 16 or above through PAYE. Adult employment rights and rules apply once a teen reaches eighteen years old.
Children who are still school-aged are not entitled to the National Minimum Löhne. At ages sixteen and seventeen, teens are entitled to a Mindestlohn of £4.62 per hour. Registered employers need to record and report their pay as part of payroll. Other regular PAYE tasks such as making deductions will need to be carried out if the teen earns over £120 per week.
There are several restrictions to consider when it comes to where and when under-16s are allowed to work. Children are not permitted to work during school hours, before the hours of 7am or after 7pm, for more than one hour before school, in areas such as industrial sites or factories, or in any work that many be harmful to their health and wellbeing or their education. Children must take a break of at least one hour after working for four hours, and they should be given a two-week break from any work that they do during the school holidays for the year.
During term-time, children are permitted to work for a maximum of twelve hours per week, which includes a maximum of two hours per school day and on Sundays. On Saturdays, 13-14 year olds can work for a maximum of five hours, while 15-16 year olds can work a maximum of eight hours.
During the school holidays, a 13-14 year old can work a maximum of twenty-five hours per week, which includes a maximum of two hours on Sundays, and up to five hours on weekdays and Saturdays. 15-16 year olds are permitted to work a maximum of thirty-five hours a week in the school holidays, including no more than two hours on Sundays and no more than eight hours on Saturdays and during the week.
Bear in mind that there may be local bylaws that list further restrictions on how, where, and when children can work.
What are the Benefits of Working for Teenagers?
While it's not a good idea for teens to work a lot of hours, getting a part-time job can have many Vorteile for teens. Working can give teens a sense of responsibility and achievement, while allowing them to develop important life skills and earn some money for themselves at the same time.
Whether you're a teen who wants to look for work or a parent of a teenager who would like a part-time job, understanding what jobs teens can do at their age, and the restrictions on working for school-aged children, is important.

In the beginning of Perestroika the major part of the USSR population supported reforms. Probably, Russia could relatively quite peacefully go through the transformation of its social model at a pace even higher than is usual for normal trajectories, but for three factors, which, in my point of view, prevented that.
The first factor is a real economic catastrophe, to which the country was leading itself gradually accelerating. The only remedy for this was the restructuring of the Soviet economy. Instead of admitting the deep technological gap between the USSR and the developed Western economies, the leaders of the country likened themselves to fantasts, who thought that Soviet machinery could shortly reach the world level and saturate domestic market with quality cars, electronics and other commodities.
The second factor one could by convention call a «national» one. It is a naïve Russian belief in the reality of miracles, including the social ones. The major part of Russians, as in the Soviet period, continues to rely on a paternalist model. It is of crucial importance, that a transition from a predominantly state (state social guarantees) to a predominantly non-state (social benefits from employers) paternalism for a major part of employers wasn't really significant.
The third factor was an absence of an audible government during the period of social and economic reforms. The author was never an advocate of any government ideology. But a citizen has the right to claim audible explanations from the government and authority concerning their social and economic policy. The attempts of liberals of 1991 to combine liberal social and economic decisions with the heritage of the «former» development were initially ineffective. At that time no fundamental transition from the support of «spheres» (for example, housing and public utilities, public health, education) to the support of exact households, who actually lacked the access to such social services during transition to a market economy, was provided.
The result of these factors was the socio-economic model, which formed in Russia in the middle of the first decade in the 21th century. Its key feature is the practical collapse of a free market model and transition to a so-called «corporate state capitalism».
What is crucial for the development of social policy in modern Russia? What has to be taken into consideration?
First, the existing system of social and economic relations is based at large on informal procedures and practices, which constantly reproduce corruption. It is enough to refer to international ratings to finally admit that it is no more actual to capture "werewolves" or follow the anti-corruption initiatives of the president, but to conduct a radical system transformation. Meanwhile the situation will regress in the same direction. Second, in this system the society is regarded by the authorities not as a patron of social and economic policy or, worse, its partner in the development of such policy, but a as its subject to control. The abolishment of the regional governor elections, the exclusion of "against everybody" choice in voting papers only support this.

The Rhodesian Ridgeback is a very distinct looking dog with their ridge down their backs. They are highly prized in their native Zimbabwe for being superb watchdogs, but over the years these handsome dogs have become popular in other parts of the world including here in the UK thanks to their striking looks and loyal, kind natures. The Rhodesian Ridgeback, or African Lion Dog is among one of the most popular hound breeds in the UK and for good reason because they make wonderful family pets and loyal companions to share a home with the added bonus being they are known to be good around children.
It was during the 16th and 17th Centuries that Dutch and German settlers travelled from Europe to South Africa and they took a variety of dogs with them which included Great Danes, Mastiffs, Greyhounds, Salukis and Bloodhounds. Over time, these dogs were crossed with the native Hottentot 'ridged' dog and their offspring were the forefathers of the modern Rhodesian Ridgeback.
Ridgebacks were bred to be tough with enough courage to hunt down lions and to protect owners in the harsh bushland terrains of Rhodesia. They inherited the distinctive ridge down their backs from the native Hottentot dog. The story has it that a missionary in the late 1800's loaned two dogs to a big game hunter in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) and the hunter was so impressed with the dogs that he decided to breed a pack of Ridgebacks of his own. It was not long before the Ridgeback became the dog of choice for lion hunters throughout the land thanks to their courage and bravery on hunting expeditions. Pretty soon their fame spread throughout the world. The first Ridgeback club was formed in Africa in 1922 when a breed standard was drawn up which remain to this day.
Today, Ridgebacks are a popular choice as both companion dogs and family pets not only here in the UK, but elsewhere in the world thanks to their handsome looks and loyal, kind natures.

'King Kong' Animated Reboot Moves Forward at Fox
King Kong Animated Reboot Moves Forward at Fox
Christian Magalhaes and Bob Snow are writing a new version of this classic story told from the gigantic ape's point-of-view.
20th Century Fox is moving forward with a new animated version of King Kong by hiring Christian Magalhaes and Bob Snow to write the script.
This project will offer a fresh take on the legendary ape, by telling the story from his perspective. Mike Weber came up with the original concept and will produce.
Shawn Levy will also produce through his 21 Laps company alongside Radar Pictures' Ted Field. No production schedule was given for this new King Kong endeavor.
The last time we saw the enormous ape on the big screen was in 2005 with Peter Jackson's King Kong, which grossed $550 million worldwide. 20th Century Fox is also getting ready to unleash another ape project, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, which is due in theaters on August 5.

Let Barry Manilow swoon you with all the hits Thursday night at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory.
It's a pretty impressive week of music to round out the month whether you're in the mood for an over-the-top crooner with a longer than 50-year career or you're itching to find a new local favorite (for free) in Deep Ellum. If you're bummed that Say Anything's Max Bemis had to cancel the band's tour because he's sick, you can still catch some great shows from Børns, Barry Manilow, Black Taffy, John Maus and plenty of others.


After we left Krakow, we took the train to the paper mill at Kwidzyn. Here's International Paper's site for that mill. The mill was built in the early 1970's by the Communist government. IP bought it in 1992.
