Historic Pools: Restoring History
The UK has a rich network of historic swimming pools, but over the years many have closed down. Now, thanks to a renewed appreciation of these architectural beauties, and some out-of-the-box thinking from trusts and community groups, they're coming back to life. Kath Hudson reports
by Kath Hudson | Published in Sports Management 2019 issue 2
We're seeing a resurgence in historic pools
Thanks to the 1846 Baths and Wash House Act, the UK has one of the largest collections of historic swimming pools in the world. Almost a century of municipal pool design led to hundreds of pools being created, representing ambitions in architecture and to improve public health.
Sadly, in so many cases, their beauty and grandeur has faded, and they have become relics and costly burdens for those who have to take responsiblity for them. Over the years, as many local authorities failed to make them operationally viable, more than half of the UK's historic pools closed.
Fortunately, the tide now appears to have turned. Despite years of closures and budget cuts, an increasing number of historic pools are being brought back to life. "I like to think that we're on a roll," says Gill Wright, founder of Historic Pools of Britain, a charitable organisation that aims to share best practice among historic pools and raise their profile. "The rate of closures has slowed down and, despite the difficult economy, we are seeing a resurgence of historic pools."
This welcome turn of events is attributable to a few factors, according to Wright. Firstly, a growing interest in outdoor swimming led to a resurgence in historic lidos, with many being restored, and this momentum has spilled over to indoor pools. Secondly, historic pools have been championed by leisure trusts and community groups who have taken on the management and thought creatively.
"A successful project needs a group of determined individuals behind it, as well as wider community support. It's a massive uphill struggle unless the local authority backs it," says Wright. "But in many cases we see how keeping a historic pool running engenders a sense of pride in a community. They can also become destinations in their own right and contribute greatly to regeneration."
Such a setting adds another dimension to the swimming experience, which many will appreciate, but also, as Wright points out, the baths often embody important social history: "Under local authority management, historic pools were generally not presented as interesting buildings in their own right, but they are beautiful and historic and, with the right marketing, can be destination cultural attractions."
A worthy restoration
Wright is part of a team that has been trying for years to resurrect Victoria Baths in Manchester. Created in an era of both gender and class segregation, these baths have an interesting story to tell and are currently open as a heritage and events venue. However, Wright is committed to seeing the baths themselves open again one day and funding is currently being sought based on a new, robust business plan to re-open the Turkish Baths as the next phase of the building restoration.
Elsewhere in Manchester Withington Baths and Leisure Centre, which was taken over by the community to prevent closure in 2015, is hopefully on track to be restored to its former Edwardian glory. It has recently been awarded £82,000 to scope out the extent of restoration needed for the roof and to design programmes and activities to educate members and visitors about the baths' heritage. Full restoration will be dependent on a second lottery grant of £1.2m.
It is heartwarming that these quirky and charming buildings are now undergoing a renaissance and that there are now enough success stories to show how these historic buildings can be made sustainable.
Jubilee Pool
Art deco lido saved by the community
Abbie Cranage
Cornwall's Jubilee Pool, an iconic art deco lido overlooking St Michael's Mount, is an example of a pool on its way to closure that was nursed back to life by a community group and is now a destination for locals and tourists.
Built to celebrate King George V's silver jubilee in 1935, by the 2000s the local authority was struggling to keep it going, so when it suffered severe storm damage in 2014 it was at serious risk of closure. A passionate community social enterprise, Friends of Jubilee Pool, took over its operation in 2016.
After a £3m fundraising campaign, the lido was refurbished, but with a short summer season the finances remained on a knife edge. Friends of Jubilee Pool thought outside of the box to come up with a strategy to safeguard its future.
"We can now go from a four month operation to a 12 month one" Abbie Cranage
"We're working with Geothermal Engineering Ltd to make it a year-round pool," says manager Abbie Cranage. "We've now finished drilling and have found geothermal energy, which will allow a section of the pool to be heated. This means we can go from a four month operation to a 12 month one and see a 25 per cent uplift in annual visits."
This work has been made possible by a crowdfunder campaign. The aim was to raise £350,000, but instead the group raised £430,000, showing the strength of feeling locally. This was matched by investors, and will enable the development of further revenue generating amenities.

Sir Doug Ellis Woodcock Sports Centre
University uses modern gym to make pool sustainable
Aston University in Birmingham refurbished its Grade II listed swimming pool, adding extra facilities
Although refurbishment makes pools easier to sustain, they are still far from straightforward, and extra money has to be set aside for the inevitable maintenance and repair work that comes with old buildings. Subsidising the old buildings with new health and fitness facilities is a good model.
Wright says the Sir Doug Ellis Woodcock Sports Centre at Aston University in Birmingham is a great example of the new and the old working together. "This is the best of both worlds: a state of the art, profitable gym, complemented by a unique historic pool," she says.
After being acquired by the university from Birmingham City Council for £1 in 1980, the site was redeveloped as a multi-purpose sports centre. However, by 2000 it was falling into disrepair and because the building is Grade II listed, the university had to take the plunge to refurbish it..
To cover the costs of the pool, additional income streams were added with a gym, two sports halls, sauna, steam and dance studios. Ultimately the management is hoping for further funding from the university to add a third sports hall, a larger free weights training area and a functional training suite..
Newcastle City Baths brought back to life by a leisure trust
The Newcastle City Baths were closed by the council five years ago but are due to reopen soon
Tim Mills of Fusion Lifestyle, which runs six unheated, year-round outdoor pools, agrees that the popularity of lidos has ignited a wider interest in historic pools. Since completing its first lido refurbishment in 2006, Fusion Lifestyle has been involved with a number of historic pool projects.
Currently, it is in the final stages of bringing the Grade II listed, neo-Georgian Newcastle City Baths back to life. The leisure trust took out a long term lease, after the baths were closed by the council five years ago, and embarked on a £6m investment, due to be completed in early summer.
The two pool halls are being restored, one as a swimming pool and the other as a health and fitness facility. A studio and bistro are being added, and the Turkish Baths are being completely restored. There are few left in the UK, so they are bound to have a wide appeal.
Mills admits there are many challenges with these projects. "We often ask ourselves why we do it! These projects are not simple or straightforward," he says. "But they are challenging, unique and interesting."
"We're very aware of how important these grand old buildings are to the local community and it's rewarding to bring something special back: they tend to have a very loyal following. Swimming in one of these great pieces of architecture is a unique and special experience and they have the potential to be a city or regional attraction."
Always interested in projects involving a special building that has fallen into disrepair and is in danger of being, or is already, closed down, Fusion Lifestyle has two more renovations lined up, for a lido in Ipswich and some indoor baths in Bristol.

Marshall Street Baths Preserving beauty
Louise Williams
The 1930s-era Marshall Street Baths in Soho were mothballed by the City of Westminster in 1997 due to the amount of investment required, but were reopened in 2007 after a refurbishment by a development company, which involved further health and fitness amenities being added. Now they are operated by Everyone Active.
With original marble floors and an impressive barrel vaulted ceiling, the baths epitomise everything there is to love about historic pools. "We're very fortunate to have a historic pool at Marshall Street; it's a real gem in the heart of London," says general manager Louise Williams. "The pool, with its arched ceilings and natural light, attracts a lot of interest from photographers, fashion designers and film crews who all appreciate its beauty as an amazing backdrop to their work. We've even had James Nesbitt and Sport England filming here!"
"Our historic pool is a real gem in the heart of London" - Louise Williams
Williams says day-to-day swimmers also find the pool a joy to swim in. However, beauty doesn't come easy and running the pool is often a labour of love. "The marble has to be cleaned by hand and some modern cleaning agents and techniques aren't suitable," says Williams.
"As a listed building, we have to plan ahead for maintenance issues and upkeep – we can't just buy the first thing we see. Much consideration goes into finding the approved materials – for example, it took us eight months to source and fit the poolside tiles. That said, it's worth every bit of extra care."

Projects with pallets are becoming more popular, because the items that actually derived from them, are unique and are in favor of preserving the environment. Pallets covered with greenery and flowers can become part of your yard decoration. All you need is to learn how to use simple wooden pallet in your design and how in an original way to recycle wood.
Did you know that pallets could be your next gardening option? You may not see a garden every time you look at one, but there is real possibility there. So the next time you come across a pallet, realize that it can be reconfigured and turned into a wonderful growing space. Plus, pallet gardens are also very eye-catching. Which means, if you need additional (or simply pretty) growing space, then one of these pallet garden options we are bringing you could very easily work for your home.
In our today's post, we present you some fascinating ideas how to use wooden pallets as garden planters. There are so many fascinating ideas how to do that, you just need to find that ideas that will suit your garden. See our proposals and create something interesting for your garden. Have fun and be productive! By now we all know our outdoor rooms count as much as our indoor ones. Especially during certain times of year! One of the best design elements you can bring to your outdoor rooms is the colors and textures of plants and flowers.
With that in mind, here are pallet garden ideas for vegetables, herb, or flower that will hopefully inspire you to upcycle a pallet into your next garden idea: Wooden pallets are really easy to assemble and have found their role in the recycling of many projects that are truly functional and useful. You can find them in the stores for building materials or supermarket. Most of the shops use pallets to transport goods, and after that they mainly throw the pallets. If you have any chance to get them for free, with some great inspirational ideas, you will create something remarkable.
Flowers have always been a part of our live, whether we just like to receive them or having them in our homes. What do you do when your plant need more space to grow or simply what do you do when normal planters aren't enough for your specific needs? My suggestion would be to make your own planters or why not recycle some other planter you may have and use them. If you think that making your own planter is rocket science you can't be more wrong.
Let's face it though, planters and pots from the nursery can add up fast. I seriously think it can be the most expensive part of outdoor living outside the hardscape! So we went out looking for some creative budget outdoor planter projects you can do this weekend. That's right, that bland patio could be alive with decor (the containers) and design (the plants) by this weekend! Come on, save the binge watching of Downton reruns (it hurts to say that!) 'till the nights are cold again!


What is your name? Nancy Bither.
What is your occupation? I am the director of design at the Atlantic Design Center, a division of Eldredge Lumber.
Where are you from? Born and raised in York, Maine.
What does your job position entail? It mostly involves checking other designers' work as well as assisting them with questions and ideas on design. I helped design the showroom along with other people, too. It is my responsibility for maintaining any changes to the showroom.
How large is the showroom? It is 5,000 square feet.
How many designers and staff? 13 people. I oversee the cabinet, flooring, and tile side as well.
Recently you had some national exposure. Can you explain that a little bit? Mouser Custom Cabinetry out of Elizabethtown, Ky., were very pleased with our displays and had both of our displays professionally photographed and those displays are now featured in their own comprehensive consumer brochure. They then selected one of them to be part of their advertisement campaign as well. It will be featured in the January/February issue of the luxury consumer magazine "New England Home."
What interested you in this line of work? Well, I've been doing it for 22 years, and I got into it by working at a different facility and was asked to do kitchens. I thought it sounded interesting and fell in love with it and the whole process.
What is the most difficult part of your job? I think the most difficult part is being able to interpret clients and incorporate their wishes into the design. It is certainly the most challenging.
What is the best part? The end product being exactly what the customer is looking for.
Any changes in the field? People are much more educated now. They can get a lot of products online and find it for less. With the economy in York, probably one of the nicer areas, there's still a lot of work going on here, though. We're in a good regional place, but people are doing a lot of research online.
What goes into your work that people might not know about? I have certification in kitchen and bath design through the National Kitchen and Bath Association. It entails a minimum of seven years experience, and I have three certified kitchen designers on staff. Also, this year, one of our designers, Denise Young, CKD, CBD, had a kitchen project she designed featured in the "Better Homes and Gardens Remodeling" magazine. People might not realize the level of certification there is.
Atlantic Design Center is located on Route 1 in York and open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, call 363-3004 or visit www.atlanticdesignctr.com.

A few of the viruses that have a lipid envelope and may be affected by BHT include herpes simplex I, herpes simplex II, herpes zoster, ckytomegalovirus, west nile virus, HIV virus, influenza virus, hepatitis B and C viruses, avian flu influenza virus and the SARS virus. Remember that BHT has not been clinically tested and approved to treat these infections.
At issue is that none of the controlled studies on the antiviral properties of BHT have been performed on humans. Rather, most of the experiments have been conducted in the laboratory or on animals. In addition, BHT is a common, inexpensive substance that is unpatentable. No pharmaceutical company will invest money in researching and certifying its value as a medication. Furthermore, it may be difficult to perform human trials because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved BHT for use only as a food preservative, not as a medicine.
Therefore, it is not approved for the treatment of herpes infections or any other disease. While doctors have the authority to prescribe BHT, they could face peer pressure and malpractice insurance issues for using unapproved treatments. You are, therefore, unlikely to get a doctor to recommend or prescribe BHT. If you decide to make an independent decision to take BHT, at least tell your doctor what you are doing so that he can give you advice regarding your diagnosis, your other treatment options, potential consequences, possible drug interactions, etc.
The lack of approval hasn't stopped some people from using BHT on their own to treat herpes or other viral conditions. While there is no accounting of how many people have used BHT to treat herpes and other viral infections, the estimates run from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Studies performed on rats demonstrated liver and kidney damage at doses of 0.5 to 1.0 grams per kilogram.(10) This is the equivalent of a 160 pound adult taking 73 grams per day. Compare this to a typical suppressing dose of 0.25 to 0.50 grams per day and a typical dosage for an acute outbreak of 1.0 to 2.0 grams per day. No evidence was noted for BHT causing cancer and conflicting results were obtained regarding effects on the immune system, tumor formation and other effects. Again all of these tests were done on rats and usually using high doses far in excess of therapeutic dosages.
BHT is metabolized by the liver and some of the rat experiments showed a suppression of liver enzymes and enlargement of the liver. This implies a degree of liver toxicity if the dose is high enough. At what dose a human might experience some degree of liver toxicity is unclear. Liver toxicity is a common side effect of a great many medications including some common over the counter pain relievers. If you are taking BHT or choose to take BHT, consider asking your doctor to do a blood test to measure your liver enzymes.
A large number of individuals have taken BHT in therapeutic doses for extended periods of time with no reported adverse effects. (8)(9) A case was reported in The New England Journal of Medicine of a patient who took 4 grams of BHT as a single dose on an empty stomach and experienced severe gastric pain, nausea, vomiting and dehydration.(11) To be fair, a number of substances including aspirin, vitamin and mineral supplements some foods and many common medications can produce similar effects when taken on an empty stomach.
There are a few physicians who regularly prescribe BHT for herpes treatment and outbreak prevention and consider it safe. There have been no formal clinical trials on humans to definitively determine the safety status of BHT.
Based on anecdotal information, it appears that a dosage of 250 mg. to 1000 mg. per day may be effective for many people. Dr. Ward Dean, M.D. recommends a dosage of 250 to 500 mg. per day as an anti-oxidant and 2000 mg. per day in divided doses for acute herpes outbreaks.(12) Anecdotal evidence also suggests that therapy at this dosage may be insufficient to suppress herpes outbreaks in some individuals. It is hypothesized that combining BHT with other measures, either alternative or orthodox, may be more effective than using BHT alone.
No one knows if there are any yet unrecognized health risks of large doses of BHT.
Patients with diseases that compromise liver function should have their liver enzymes monitored by a physician.
BHT is fat-soluble, so thin people may need less and may be more susceptible to side effects.
BHT can interfere with blood clotting. It may pose a risk to persons with clotting problems or persons using anti-coagulant medications.
Doses of BHT should start small and gradually increase.
A few people are chemically sensitive to BHT.
Alcohol should be avoided for at least several hours before and after taking BHT. Alcohol may have a stronger effect than usual.
BHT can interact with some drugs.
BHT is best taken with food, both to minimize any possible GI distress and to facilitate absorption.
Anyone who choses to take BHT with or against medical advice should consult a physician regarding their actions to obtain a diagnosis, advice on alternative treatments and advice on possible drug interactions.
A new blog has just been initiated (October 28, 2007) on the use of BHT with cold sores. This promises some well documented and objective personal experience with BHT and cold sores. Do check this out.

Need for Most Accurate Discrete Approximations Explains Heavy-Tailed Distributions

Technical Report: UTEP-CS-16-29
In many practical situations, we encounter Gaussian distributions, for which the distribution tails are light -- in the sense that as the value increases, the corresponding probability density tends to 0 very fast. There are many theoretical explanations for the Gaussian distributions and for similar light-tail distributions. In practice, however, we often encounter heavy-tailed distributions, in which the probability density is asymptotically described, e.g., by a power law. In contrast to the light-tail distributions, there is no convincing theoretical explanation for the heavy-tailed ones. In this paper, we provide such a theoretical explanation. This explanation is based on the fact that in many applications, we approximate a continuous distribution by a discrete one. From this viewpoint, it is desirable, among all possible distributions which are consistent with our knowledge, to select a distribution for which such an approximation is the most accurate. It turns out that under reasonable condition, this requirement (of allowing the most accurate discrete approximation) leads to the desired power-law heavy-tailed distributions.

Jayson Tatum, the NBA's Next Mamba
He dunked on LeBron, helped lead the Celtics deep into the playoffs, and can call Kobe his own personal Yoda. But the most exciting thing about Jayson Tatum? The kid's just 20.
Photography by Ryan Pfluger
When Jayson Tatum got in trouble in elementary school, it was often Kobe Bryant's fault. Teachers weren't thrilled when the Celtics breakout star would sit in class and watch YouTube highlights of the Mamba. "The older I got, the more they understood that I was going to be in the NBA," Tatum tells me, grinning. "I mean, school was very important. But I needed to watch basketball." This often caused trouble at home, too, when he'd try to re-create his favorite move: Kobe's impossible-to-stop baseline fadeaway.
"I remember my dad used to hate that I did it," says Tatum, tucked away under the foliage in the back of L.A.'s Sunset Marquis. "It was such a bad shot for a second grader."
All the more surreal, then, that he says this in L.A., the day after the Lakers legend generously decided to mentor the young Celtic, a rare one-on-one workout between longtime East-West rivals. And what was Professor Vino's advice for his new student?
"Shoot every time," he recalls. "Pass if you have to. But if not, shoot it."

If Tatum plays the way he did to cap his first season in the league—putting on one of the greatest rookie campaigns in playoffs history and leading the Celtics to within minutes of an Eastern Conference title—that "me first" (and second, and third) Mamba mentality just might turn him into the NBA's next great killer. After all, he's armed with a Kobe-like arsenal of skills: a deadly jumper, balletic footwork, a see-you-later first step. Even on a team with Kyrie Irving, Tatum has emerged as the bedrock of Boston's future. See: Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals, where he put LeBron James on a poster.
Not bad for a guy who less than seven years ago was a gangly teenager (in, it's worth noting, a Kobe Bryant jersey) thirstily tweeting at LeBron James for a follow-back. (James did eventually follow him back.) James also welcomed Tatum to the league by swatting his first-ever NBA shot, a rookie debut during which, Tatum says, he was "extremely nervous" and more than a bit starstruck. "Early in the season, when we played LeBron or the Greek Freak or Golden State, right before tip-off, I would just look at them," he says. "Like: This is my life. Damn. I'm 19, right next to KD, getting ready to play basketball."
Now he's 20—and dunking on them.
Watch Now:
Jayson Tatum's Rare Sneaker Collection
"I think that anytime a guy has a year like that as a rookie, if you say that you expected it, I don't know that that would be honest," says Celtics coach Brad Stevens. "He didn't ride the emotional roller coaster like a lot of young players do. And that kind of goes back to who he is. He's got a maturity about him that is unlike most people his age."
Tatum credits that uncommon demeanor to his mom, Brandy, who, when he was just a kid growing up in St. Louis, dragged him along to her classes. (She eventually earned her way to three degrees.) "I knew when I was in the classroom I gotta be quiet," he remembers. "And if I didn't, she was gonna take me to the bathroom and whoop me in front of everybody." Now she lives three floors above Tatum in Boston, in an apartment she shares with his stepdad and where she's still tasked with feeding the six-foot-eight NBA superstar-to-be.
"I spend most of my time up there in their apartment, 'cause there's always food up there," says Tatum. "I don't have anything to eat in my house but chips and Gatorade. And when I'm gone or away for a long time, she'll do my laundry or clean up the house. If I come back from a road trip and we get back, like, three in the morning, she'll cook and leave a plate in my refrigerator."

If his fridge is not yet MTV Cribs–worthy, maybe it's because he left behind his teenage years just seven months ago. He still looks young: like a child's drawing of a human—all spindly arms and legs, no torso—with a thin goatee that doesn't quite connect to the scraggly whiskers framing the sides of his face. Then there's a public lifestyle he's not quite used to, like the time earlier this year when Denzel Washington approached him at a movie premiere. "I still think it's mind-blowing when famous people know who I am," says Tatum. But despite that bright-eyed youth at heart, he's real tired of hearing that he's good…for a 19-year-old rookie: "I couldn't wait for this year to be over with so I could get that title"—rookie—"away from my name."
Even though his mom still makes him late-night tacos, his game is already far beyond rook status. Off-season tape shows a Mamba-worthy fadeaway. And now, despite Dad's objections, it's a well-honed weapon that not even a seven-foot paint kaiju like Joel Embiid can stop him from getting off. The talent is there. But while Coach Stevens lauds his forward's "quiet confidence," you wonder if that inner calm might need some stoking. Kobe's confidence, of course, was never quiet. Stevens says he's only ever seen Tatum's heart rate elevated when arguing with teammates about his alma mater, Duke, while Bryant once famously berated his teammates for being soft like two-ply toilet paper (Charmin, to be specific). In their one-on-one training session earlier this summer, Kobe outlined his daily mind-set for the young fella: "If you told yourself that your life, your family's life, your kid's life depended on it, how would you go about practice? How much does this game mean to you for you to be the best?"

If you're looking for traces of that in Tatum, look no further than that Game 7 dunk on LeBron. Not content to merely posterize the best basketball player on the planet, Tatum, as he turned to run back down to the defensive end, ran chest-first into the much bigger James. "I don't know why I yelled and bumped him," he says now. "But I'm glad I did. I will always remember that. But I was running back on defense like, 'Oh, my God.' I couldn't believe what I just did." The next possession down the court, his team trailing by two, the Boston crowd poised to explode into frenzy at the bidding of their young king, Tatum found himself with the ball on the wing. A true Mamba disciple, he shot his shot—a difficult, off-the-dribble three—and drained it. Just like a killer would.

Q: Maximum Length of FormsAuthenticationTicket.UserData Property I am implementing a Custom Identity class for an ASP.Net 4.0 site with Forms Authentication based on this tutorial:
Forms Authentication Configuration and Advanced Topics
I would like to store extra user information (First/Last Name, Gender, Geographic Region, Profile Picture Thumbnail Filename, etc...) in the AuthCookie. There is a warning on msdn.microsoft.com about limiting the size of the UserData property.
I have not been able to find a definitive character limit for the UserData property. Only that the entire encrypted cookie should be under 4096 bytes.
Anybody know a maximum character limit I should assume in my code? Or have a better idea about how to store these frequently needed pieces of user information?
Thanks

A: There's no explicit limit - the maximum size will depend, for example, on the length of the username.  Also the maximum size of a cookie (or of a URL if you're using cookieless tickets) is browser-dependent.
You could store that sort of information server-side (e.g. Session), possibly with some kind of key / id in the cookie. One way of doing this would be to implement a custom ProfileProvider.
One disadvantage of storing application-specific information such as you describe in the FormsAuthentication cookie is that you will need some redesign if ever your application needs to switch from FormsAuthentication to some other authentication method (e.g. WindowsAuthentication).
Personally I'd only store information that's relevant for authentication and possibly authorization in the FormsAuthentication cookie, as anything else would increase coupling.

Popular soul food restaurant honors Dr. King with 'Random Yams of Kindness'
The Candied Yam gave away its award-winning meals for free to anyone who walked through their doors
Candied Yams gave away its award-winning meals for free to anyone who walked through their doors in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
By: Lauren Edwards
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — As soon as The Candied Yam opened on Monday morning at 9 a.m., customers were already gathering around the front door.
It's rare for the popular restaurant to open on a Monday. The owner Jessica Tyson and her staff typically close and rest from their usual busy week.
However, since it was the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, she decided to open and honor him by giving away their award-winning meals for free to anyone who walked through their door.
"We actually saved our tips for the month of December, and we're able to do this labor of love. We call it Random Yams of Kindness," Tyson said during an interview Monday morning. "So we're able to do this because our team pulled together the tips, and we saved them so that we can give back to the community."
The specialty on the menu was their famous Sweet Potato French Toast Bake. For two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, people ordered that meal and other traditional southern cuisine.
"Bottom line, it's all about love." @TheCandiedYamGR honoring Dr. King and his message of love by giving away their award-winning meals for free to whomever walked through their door. #mlk #MLKDay #MondayMotivation

— Lauren Edwards (@LaurenEdwardsTV) January 18, 2021
Customer Antoinette Smith said she doesn't live in the area but doesn't mind driving to Candied Yam to get their food. She appreciated Tyson for being so generous during these tense time.
"In this political state that we're in, a lot of people are self-serving and self-seeking," Smith said. "But this is a situation where she's actually giving to others despite what they believe."
Tyson said it was important for her to honor Dr. King in any way they could. She remembers her parents telling her stories of segregation and what it was like eating in restaurants in the 1950s and '60s. Black people were not allowed to eat with White customers and sometimes were denied service or entrance into the establishment.
However, she said Dr. King represented unity to her.
"He represents the fact that we need to make sure that we have more diversity. Everyone gets a seat at the table," Tyson said. "I would just like to think that today he would be proud of our efforts to bring the people together."
She said that's what food does is it brings people together. Everyone is welcomed at the Candied Yam. She hopes that Dr. King's message of love fills her customers up more than the food itself.
"We can't get enough love," Tyson said. "We're in an age right now with COVID where we can't have that physical touch. So being able to express ourselves with our smiles it's a secret weapon."

Introducing the Algorithmia R Client
Today, we're excited to announce full development support for R on Algorithmia with our new CRAN package.
R users now have access to Algorithmia's library of more than 2,500 algorithmic microservices via the client.
With the new client, R users can now deploy their predictive models and analytical routines as production-ready API's without ever having to provision, configure, or manage servers or infrastructure.
Quick Links: CRAN Package | Docs | Client Guide | R Development Guide
Algorithmia was founded on the belief that our job is to empower developers with the tools to extract insights from their data in production environments.
"R has been synonymous with data analysis, statistics, and graphical modeling," Diego Oppenheimer says, Algorithmia founder and CEO. "Until recently, most R users lived in academia and research. But, as data scientists have moved into industry, they've brought their tool of choice with them."
We want to ensure your most important contributors aren't distracted with tasks like setting up infrastructure, fighting with libraries, or managing dependencies. We've created a sample sentiment analysis forecasting pipeline in R to demonstrate how easy R + Algorithmia development can be. This recipe uses the Sentiment Time Series microservice to process unstructured text and return a sentiment time series plot and frequency to help enterprises understand their customer data.
This is why we're excited to be providing researchers, developers, and data scientists with enterprise-grade tools for leveraging Algorithmia in their analysis, as well as deploying their R models to production.
"It's clear to us that supporting R users with access to the algorithms on Algorithmia is crucial to our success of fulfilling our mission to make state-of-the-art algorithms discoverable and accessible to everyone."
Using R and Algorithmia
We fit your workflow so you can spend more time doing data science:
Access. Use any of the algorithms or microservices from our ever-growing library in your R projects. Install the Algorithmia package and you're good to go.
Develop. Work on your models and routines in the environment you're comfortable with.
Deploy. When you're ready, instantly deploy them as production-ready microservices to our scalable cloud infrastructure.
API's. Call any algorithm or microservice via our clients for Java, Scala, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, Ruby, Rust, CLI, cURL and, of course, R.
R users can now utilize the entire Algorithmia library of microservices, no matter the programming language, in their R projects and then deploy them as production-ready APIs for their engineering team to use.
And, since we support Caffe, TensorFlow, and Theano, R users also have access to our cloud-based GPUs and deep learning models, like Places365 Classifier, Illustration Tagger, InceptionNet, CaffeNet, or DeepFilter.
More About Algorithmia
We've created an open marketplace for algorithms and algorithm development, making state-of-the-art algorithms accessible and discoverable by everyone.
On Algorithmia, algorithms run as containerized microservices that act as the building blocks of algorithmic intelligence developers can use to create, share, and remix at scale.
By making algorithms composable, interoperable, and portable, algorithms can be written in any supported language, and then made available to application developers where the code is always "on," and available via a simple REST API.
Application developers can access the API via our clients for Java, Scala, Python, JavaScript, Node.js, Ruby, Rust, CLI, and cURL. We also have an AWS Lambda blueprint for those working on IoT-type projects.
Useful Links: Developer Center | API Docs | Press | Introduction to Microservices
Algorithmia is the largest marketplace for algorithms in the world, with more than 30,000 developers leveraging 2,500 algorithms. Algorithms and models on Algorithmia include research from MIT, University of Washington, Carnegie Mellon University, University of California Berkeley, Caltech, University of Texas at Austin, University of Tokyo, University of Toronto, among others.
If you run into any issues, or just want us to geek out about R with us, please reach out.
Are you excited? Let us know @Algorithmia.

Q: How to search previous terminal commands like on a Mac? (alt. to CTRL+R) I have a Mac laptop for work, and while on the terminal (on iterm2), I can start typing a command (e.g. ssh) then press "up" key to browse through my recent commands that begin with whatever I started typing (e.g ssh .......).
On Ubuntu terminal, I can see a similar feature with the keyboard shortcut "CTRL + R". However, it's not quite the same. Is there a way to mimic the Mac feature?
Thank you!
Edit with examples for clarity:
Here's an example of what I mean on the Mac.
Let's say in the past 100 commands run in my Mac terminal, I had 2 commands that were:
ssh 1.2.3.4
ssh 127.0.0.1

Then when I type "ssh" and hit "up" key, it would autofill to ssh 127.0.0.1, and if I hit "up" key again, it would fill to ssh 1.2.3.4.
However, on Ubuntu terminal, if let's say my 3 most recent commands were
ssh 1.2.3.4
open .
echo "help me"

Then by typing "ssh" and hitting "up" key, it would simply take me to echo "help me". And hitting "up" key again would take me to open .
To me it makes more intuitive sense to have this pattern instead of having to use the CTRL+R route.

A: Open the $HOME/.inputrc file in a text editor (e.g. gedit ~/.inputrc) and add these two lines:
"\e[A": history-search-backward
"\e[B": history-search-forward

Now, save and close the file and open a new terminal. You know how pressing the up arrow key cycles through the command history? Now with these lines, if you start typing and then press the up arrow key, only commands that started with what you've typed will be shown. Typing ping and then pressing the up arrow key again will show the next to last ping command, and it goes back to the preceding ping command each time you press the up arrow key again. This makes it very easy to find the specific commands you were after.
Example

*

*Type sudo.
sudo

*Press the up arrow key to autocomplete sudo to the last command that started with sudo.
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

*Please note that for commands that start with sudo you will be asked to authenticate with your user password as usual before the command can be executed.

In 1945, the National Employment Service (NES) was conceived to resettle the demobilized defence service personnel and discharged war workers to their normal civil lives through stabilized employment. After Independence, the network of Employment Exchanges which took up this responsibility under the then Directorate of Resettlement & Employment (DGR&E) also managed to handle the unemployment issues of the population displaced from Pakistan. By 1948, the Directorate came to be known as Directorate General of Employment & Training (DGE&T) thus extending its services to all categories of Jobseekers. By November 1956, in pursuance of recommendations of the Training and Employment Service Committee (Shiv Rao Committee set up in 1952), the administrative control of the Employment Exchanges was given to individual State/Union Territories.
Under the Directorate, Schemes like Craftsmen Training Scheme (CTS) and Apprenticeship Training Scheme (ATS) were introduced by Government of India. The purpose of the schemes were to prepare the unskilled population for better employment opportunities. The training programmes under the directorate focused on imparting dynamic technical and industrial attitude to its trainees. In 1956, the administrative control of training Schemes like CTS were transferred to the State/Union Territories.
Gujarat being an industrially rich state has presently set up its skilling centres reaching across to almost all demography. With 788 ITIs, 500 KVKs, 5115 ATS centres, 617 VTCs, and 48 Employment Exchanges the state is taking the vision of its pioneers to soaring heights.

The Adventist Church release film ahead of 2017 Creation Sabbath
Leaders for GRI hope every Adventist member watches and shares "The Hole" with their friends and family.
5 Oct 2017 | Loma Linda, California, United States | GeoScience Research Institute staff
The Hole_TRAILER 01_English_MP4 from Geoscience Research Institute on Vimeo.
The Geoscience Research Institute (GRI) and The John 10:10 Project have released "The Hole," a 5-minute film that goes straight to the heart of the Gospel. "The Hole" has been prepared especially for sharing via social media and showing in churches, schools and other institutions to celebrate Creation Sabbath on October 28.
"I love how beautifully 'The Hole' encapsulates the Gospel using an illustration from nature," Timothy G. Standish, a scientist and film maker working at the Geoscience Research Institute. "The Hole" uses footage shot in the mountains of Mexico where monarch butterflies spend the winter. It also contains video filmed in locations as diverse as Hong Kong, Chicago and London.
Narrating "The Hole" Alvin Chea of the Emmy Award winning group Take 6 guides viewers on a journey toward understanding how the creation is an inseparable part of the Gospel. But more than this, the creation itself through the process of butterfly metamorphosis provides a beautiful analogy to the seemingly impossible transformation of being born again in Christ. Through his contribution, Mr. Chea also illustrates that the study and celebration of creation is not the exclusive domain of theologians and scientists, but something that should be celebrated in the arts, where beauty and design are actually understood!
"My hope is 'The Hole' will be seen by every member of the Adventist Church on Creation Sabbath," says Standish. "Yes, it is wonderful that it will be shown in Adventist Churches around the world, but more than that, this is a film that can be proudly shared with our friends; those who belong to other Christian denominations as well as those who are not yet Christians. The creation is beautiful, the Gospel is beautiful, and these two amazing truths come together in this wonderful short film."
It is up to church leaders, pastors, congregations and members to use the "The Hole" as a tool for encouraging faith and sharing the Gospel. Anyone can be part of the project by sharing this stunning resource for the celebration of Creation Sabbath on October 28.
All that is necessary, is sharing "The Hole" through social media, or downloading the movie file from www.creationsabbath.net and showing it your Sabbath Schools, Churches and homes. In addition, "The Hole" will be available on the Geoscience Research Institute Facebook page and can be easily shared from there with all of our Facebook friends.
All Seventh-day Adventist Church affiliated entities and organizations are called upon to share "The Hole" in every way that they can on and before Creation Sabbath, October 28. "My hope is that churches will have 'The Hole' available for streaming directly from their webpages and that the same will be true on Conference, Union and Division websites" says Standish. "Think of the thousands, no, millions who we can reach with the beautiful message of this Gospel-centered film!"

Ictitherium è un genere estinto di iena.

Questa creatura, lunga 1,20 m, assomigliava molto di più a una civetta che a una iena, avendo un lungo corpo con corte zampe. A giudicare dai suoi denti, era un insettivoro. Ictitherium fu una creatura numerosa e di grande successo, i cui resti sono stati spesso ritrovati in branchi, sommersi forse da alluvioni. Forse questa iena primitiva viveva in branchi e aveva un ordine sociale molto simile ai suoi moderni discendenti.

Outside of Academia: Helge Gunther, Scientific Translation
Helge Gunther emigrated from the UK to the US for a two-year postdoc at Yale School of Medicine shortly after earning a PhD. Gunther continued her research at Yale for nine years, working on DNA repair in irradiated lactic acid bacteria,
In her spare time away from the bench, Gunther took on contract assignments for Chemical Abstracts, translating German text into English. It was after a maternity leave from Yale that Gunther decided to turn her side project into her profession, and began to work full time as a freelance scientific translator.
"I thought my technical and scientific background was [in demand] for conveying home-language publications into English," Gunther says of her decision to go full time.
Of course, her transition wasn't as simple as putting more hours toward translations — as with any freelance or contract gig, establishing a solid client base is an essential, and difficult, first step. For Gunther, becoming a member of the American Translators Association was a great help.
"I participated in conferences and found out what are the expectations and leads in areas where my skills might be useful," Gunther says. The association, she adds, was a great resource "to make contact with people who have worked in the field to get leads and recommendations."
Even with ATA's assistance, Gunther says starting up was difficult. "You have to put out a lot of contacts, keep an eye on the various literatures," she says. "It was not easy. It took me about five years before I was at a level where I was comfortable with the [workflow and] income … and felt it was a sustainable effort." Overall, she says, translation "is an exciting field, but not the best paying — particularly when you're starting out."
Gunther estimates that for every 100 client inquiries, a reasonably active translator might successfully obtain one contract. "Many, if not most, beginning translators start out contacting and working with language service providers — agencies, bureaus — before they succeed to build their own clientele," she says. "Once you get established and get a reputation, of course it becomes easier."
Translators also face their share of challenges, not least of which is collecting payment from problem clients. "I've had my share of non-payments or having to struggle very hard to get the payments. That is a continuing problem for all translators," Gunther says. "The principle is you start working, and then drop off those people you are not satisfied with or have problems with."
While technological advances — not least of which are advanced word processors and Internet databases — have improved per-word output, translators face certain technical challenges that no computer program can solve alone. Because each language has its own idiosyncrasies, "in particular in the medical field, you have to use the right terminology," Gunther says. "There are subtleties one has to be aware of in the general grouping of a language. Each [translation] needs to be tailored to the destination."
Gunther's "scientific background helps me to interpret what people mean," she says. And that's why many scientific translators break into the field after spending some time in research themselves, Gunther adds. "We have a lot of people who have worked in the field and then either on retirement, or layoff or so on, then switch into translation," she says.
Flexible hours, she says, is another perk of the job. "A lot of people in the profession are people who have other commitments one way or another and set the evenings aside to work … part time. They do have the flexibility, and for that reason it's quite attractive," she says, adding "I have the privilege of working after midnight."
Gunther advises young scientists looking to break into translation to "read, read, read — keep up with whatever is current in the field." Aside from that, she adds, "networking, networking, networking — it's very important."

Organized basketball is sport that requires, demand is probably a better term, that everyone on the court be physically fit. I say organized basketball because yes, a group of people can get together and play some basketball without any of them being in any sort of physical shape but when it comes to organized basketball such as for your school, a traveling team, AAU team, and most definitely in the NBA, the players need to be in good shape.
Being physically fit is something that I take quite seriously even outside of basketball. To make sure I stay on top of my fitness I use the Fitbit Charge HR. The Fitbit Charge HR is a fitness wrist band that can help you keep track of things such as steps taken, floors climbed, distance traveled, and an important one, your heart rate.
It also has a very good amount of different functional features that I will talk about in the list below.
This is what Fitbit calls its heart monitors on their products. The band has a censor right under the display that rests on your wrist as you wear the band. This is what senses your pulse and can accurately determine your heart rate.
This function is basically what you would expect from any fitness band you purchase. It is able to track things such as the number of steps you've climbed, stairs you have climbed up, and calories you've burned, you know the essentials to a fitness band. One of my favorite features is that I can track my runs that I go on. The Fitbit had a companion app that allows you to view the routes you run and their distances, as well as save workouts with detailed stats for them.
Now this feature I do not have much experience as I do not use it very often but I can see how it could be useful. If you were in a workout you could just look to see who is calling and determine if it is important enough that should take a break from your workout or if you can just give them a call later on after the workout.
This may be favorite feature of all. It allows you to keep track of your sleep patterns. This is huge for me since sometimes I have trouble getting real good sleep, which can drastically affect workouts and meeting fitness goals.
Again, not a feature I use often, really at all but I can see its uses. The alarm use a vibrate on your wrist as opposed to a sound but I am not confident that it would wake me up every time so I don't use it.
I would say this is another feature you might expect with a fitness and but my old FuelBand had to be plugged in USB style to gather some bits of information, which could be a pain. The wireless synching for the Fitbit is really nice.Shop for Fitbit Charge 2 Bands at Mobile Mob.


Once upon a time, there was two girls, Julie (15) and Amanda (14). They have always seen each other in the hall and said a casual hi.
Julie's favorite band was Twenty One Pilots, while Amanda's favorite band was Black Veil Brides. They never really talked about it, but the band t-shirts were always on.
The girls left and figured it was some collected fever dream...they were never sure what to make of it.


How Would You Start Writing Your Code of Conduct?
Writing is hard. Not everyone is born with J. K. Rowling mastery (if you're into wizardry). So what happens when you've been handed the task of writing your organization's Code of Conduct? Gasp! Where on earth do you start?
First things first, you've received input from co-workers, had meetings on organization concepts and structure, talked about where you want to be in the future, brainstormed, etc.
An organization's values are the meat and potatoes of the Code of Conduct. These are how you base your operations and how employees need to conduct themselves.
Every industry is different and how employees will be expected to conduct themselves representing that industry will vary. Healthcare industries will need to take into account patient care, billing, and private records. A mining company will may need to take into account environmental aspects. But like those platform shoes from decades ago, these aspects might change over time, so keeping your Code updated and preventing if from falling into the category of "so 20 years ago", is a good idea.
Resist the urge to use it. It could become a dangerous weapon. Stay away from trying to come up with fancy words that for the most part, most people really don't want to read. It's okay to delve into the realm of 'conversational copy'. Eek, but that's not professional copy you say. Well, who's reading it at the end of the day? Your employees. Hello – they need to be able to understand it, right? And at all levels of the organizational structure. Just because you don't have fancy twelve letter words in it doesn't make it less official.
You're probably going to have questions from employees about what things mean, so keeping it as simple as possible is a good thing. Less questions (don't get me wrong, questions are good thing) means more freed up time.
You want to be as concise as possible without making the copy all choppy and boring. Find that happy to-the-point medium that will hold a reader's attention. A mix of short and medium-length sentences tend to hold a readers' attention better than using long, complex sentences that seem to go on and on forever.
You're more likely to get your employees to comply if you tell them to do it. Now they know what is expected of them – they have to perform an action by a certain time.
It's okay to provide an example or examples about the meaning of a code's provision. Provide scenarios that relate to the industry keep the situation real. Example, if you're a hotel chain, provide an example of 'housekeeping isn't allowed to pocket shampoo samples' if there happens to be excess not used. Create a scenario that explains the situation, a story if you will. Your employees will relate to this and understand the code better and what is unacceptable conduct.
The purpose of this document isn't to provide night time reading-in-order-to-get-to-sleep! Don't lose sight of the people reading your beautifully drafted code. What you as the writer, may find obvious in your hierarchical position in the organization, most certainly won't be obvious to all of your readers. You also need to write with differing cultures in mind if you have employees throughout the world. What might be 'done in our culture' isn't necessarily how you want your employees to be conducting themselves representing your business. Just because bribing may be prevalant in a certain country doesn't mean your employees working in that country need to partake in this practice. All employees need to know what is expected of them across the board.
Oh, we'll also mention, get that code translated into your employees' spoken language. They can't read what they don't understand, so unless you translate into French, German, Swahili, whatever, don't expect employees to 'get it'.
As awesome as it would be, this document isn't an article for the Nobel Peace Prize. Of course make sure you've done your spell check, grammar check, and ensure it makes sense and won't leave the reader scratching their head. The whole point of this exercise is to create something everyone understands and can take away and 'action' in their working day.
Go ahead, I dare you! Do you have a sound proof garage where your child jams with their band? Now's your chance to kick them out and for you to take over for a while. If you read your written work aloud, you will find errors and points of confusion because you are now 'hearing it' vs. seeing it. Hearing the words may detect problems you may have missed.
Don't have a sound proof garage? Why not read the code to your dog… they tend not to judge and you're guaranteed a tail wag!
AVOID ALL CAPS. You're just yelling on paper. You want your code to look professional, yet easy to read and understand. Your draft will no doubt be passed onto reviewers who will judge what you've created thus far.
Avoid italics for extended lengths. They're just hard to read. Avoid cute and fun fonts – they don't look that professional. Keep to one or two basic fonts for heading and body, consistently, and you'll be just fine.
And be prepared, feedback may be harsh. But that's good. These are fresh eyes with important ideas and criticism, but they won't sugar-coat. Once you get their thumbs up, you've passed the finish line.
Congratulations. You now have a shiny new Code of Conduct!
That's the first step – give yourself a pat on the back. Your effective Code of Conduct will more than likely become the platform upon which an effective compliance program is built. Should the SEC become your next important visitor, they will question if you have a Code of Conduct and how it's disseminated throughout the organization. You're now on your way.
Now it's time to work on that compliance program.

manual-init-loader
==================

This package, MiLo, is an init config file loader for Emacs, which is easily configurable and
controllable.

## Concept

- Easily configurable and controllable.  Some files are automatically loaded and the others needs
  manual loading.
- Recursive use of directories.
- Dividing configurations of applications, relation of applications, etc.
- Benchmark.

### What is the difference comparing with the other init loaders?

There are some init loaders for Emacs with different concept.  For example,
- `init-loader.el`
  Unix/Linux like init loader.  File system base.
  Loading order is decided by prefix numbers of file names.
- `el-init.el` (https://github.com/HKey/el-init)
  Directory and recursive loading are available but not easily controllable.
  Dependencies are controlled using `provide`/`require` hack.

### Emacs as environment

There are a lot of Emacs applications.  As one use those useful app his config file swells up.
We need to divide Emacs init file into file with appropriate size with logical structure.
MiLo supports:
- category of application;
- relationship of applications;
- switching of loading features from config file.

## Usage

We realize these features with explicit loading directory tree and auto loading some files for each
directory.  The following is a part of my config file:

```elisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/manual-init-loader")
(require 'manual-init-loader)

(setq milo-file-name-prefix "init-")  ; Default.  Try to load /pathto/<file>.el or /pathto/init-<file>.el in this order.
(setq milo-raise-error nil)           ; Default.  Prevent critical error in start up process.
;; For each directory, load "pre-load.el" and "init.el" if exist, before loading designated files.
;; Similarly "key-binding.el" and "look.el" after.
;; For more flexible control, use `milo-preprocess-specs-function'.
(setq milo-ex-ante-specs '(("pre-load.el"    (@ :only-when-exists t))
                           ("init.el"        (@ :only-when-exists t)))
      milo-ex-post-specs '(("key-binding.el" (@ :only-when-exists t))
                           ("look.el"        (@ :only-when-exists t))))

;; Load directory tree.
(milo-load "~/.emacs.d"
           '(init.d (package-manager "el-get.el")  ; ~/.emacs.d/init.d/package-manager/init-el-get.elc
                    "load-path.el"                 ; ~/.emacs.d/init.d/load-path.elc
                    (core "helm.el"                ; no such file "init-helm.el" or "helm.el"
                          "anything.el"            ; ~/.emacs.d/init.d/core/init-anything.elc
                          "auto-complete.el"
                          "moccur.el"
                          "yasnippet.el"
                          "migemo.el"
                          (fep "skk.el"))          ; ~/.emacs.d/init.d/core/fep/init-skk.elc
                                                   ; ~/.emacs.d/init.d/core/fep/key-binding.elc
                    (wm "elscreen.el")
                    (app "app.el"
                         ("erc.el" (@ :load-after-load erc))          ; `eval-after-load'
                         ("navi2ch.el" (@ :load-after-load navi2ch))  ; Similarly.
                         (org "org.el")
                         "twittering-mode.el"
                         "dired.el")
                    (lang "emacs-lisp.el"
                          ("gauche.el" (@ :load-after-load gauche-mode)))
                    (misc "popup-kill-ring.el")
                    "last.el"
                    "rast.el"
                    (look ; "look.el"
                          "whitespace.el"
                          "powerline.el")
                    ))

;; Autoloads
(milo-lazyload (navi2ch) "navi2ch")
(milo-lazyload (gauche-mode) "gauche-mode")
(setq auto-mode-alist
      (cons '("\\.\\(scm\\)$" . gauche-mode) auto-mode-alist))
```

With this config, MiLo loaded files under `~/.emacs.d/init.d`.
After Emacs init process finishes, `*milo-log*` buffer shows the result.

Samsung Galaxy A14 Renders, Specifications Leaked; Tipped to Get Triple Rear Camera Setup
Samsung Galaxy A14 renders and specifications have surfaced online suggesting that a launch could be imminent. The leaked renders suggest the design of the smartphone and also offers a look at some of its features such as the rear camera setup. As per the renders, the phone appears to offer a triple rear camera setup, a 3.5mm headphone port, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The smartphone is expected to arrive in 2023. Last month, a report had suggested that Samsung has already begun testing several new A series phones including the Galaxy A14.
New renders from prolific tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@onleaks), in collaboration with Giznext, suggest the design of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy A14 smartphone. The leaked renders show that the Galaxy A14 design is similar to its predecessor, the Galaxy A13. However, a couple of design differences can be spotted. The display now appears to have an Infinity-U notch instead of the Infinity-V notch found on the predecessor.
Samsung Galaxy A14 specifications (rumoured)
The Samsung Galaxy A14 also appears to have a triple rear camera setup instead of the quad unit found on the Galaxy A13, as per the renders. The South Korean manufacturer is expected to offer improved sensors on the new phone. The renders also suggest that the phone will come with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm headphone port, a USB Type-C port, and a bottom firing speaker.
According to the tipster, the new smartphone will come with a 6.8-inch full-HD+ LCD display and may offer support for 5G connectivity. The Galaxy A14 is said to measure 167.7 x 78.7 x 9.3mm. More details of the handset should be available in the coming months.
Recently, a report had suggested that several new Samsung Galaxy A series phones had entered the testing phase. These handsets included the Galaxy A14, along with the Galaxy A34, and Galaxy A54. The new phones are said to launch in 2023.

The End of an Era: The Riots After the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.
by Jennifer Salas
Martin Luther King Jr. | 1964 | Courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
When news broke that civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. had been killed on April 4, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee, people couldn't help but feel anger and outrage. King, who had started a revolution to end social injustice, had just been killed, and many people were left wondering if they would forever be stuck in a never-changing world.1

When black citizens in Washington D.C found out King had been killed, they wanted local stores to close out of respect for this civil rights leader. When stores did not close, this lack of respect sparked a dispute between citizens and the police. What started off as a peaceful mourning ended up a four-day violent riot where people were smashing windows, breaking into stores and hurting each other. Store owners wrote "Soul Brother" on their windows to let rioters know they were black-owned and also mourned King's death. Because Dr. King didn't believe violence was the answer, it's ironic that rioters used violence to show their anger about his assassination.2
The rioters seemed ready for war and had no plans on stopping, which caused 13,600 troops, along with the National Guard, to try to end the riots. They gave the citizens a curfew and stopped selling alcohol and guns in hopes they would give up on rioting. Although the mayor instructed them not to fire at anyone, troops shot two people and injured many more. In total there was 12 deaths and 1,098 injuries in Washington D.C alone. Throughout the nation, cities such as Chicago, Kansas City, and Baltimore were having their own riots related to the assassination, and the nation accumulated more than 2,500 injuries and 40 deaths. Each city seemed handle the riots in similar ways, but Washington had the most damage and the hardest time getting back to normal after the riots.3
Police continued monitoring the streets, and on April 8, 1968, the city seemed to be done with the riots. The city of Washington D.C started rebuilding after accumulating $25 million in damages during the riot. Some areas were fixed right away, while other areas such as Seventh Street and Florida Avenue NW took more than thirty years to return to normal. Due to this rebuilding process, the economy tanked, causing "white flight," where many white residents moved away from Washington D.C because of the violence occurring in the neighborhoods.4

The riots may have ended, but people across the nation were still hurting and angry. On April 11, 1968 Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act Of 1968, which prohibited discrimination concerning the sale, rental and financing of housing based on race, religion, national origin or gender. Many believe that President Johnson signed this act in attempt to prevent any more riots and outbreaks that may have occurred in the nation. Although signing this act didn't cure racism and didn't heal the broken hearts of the many people mourning, it was a step in the right direction and the last major act of the Civil Rights Movement.5

Rebeca Escobar says:
The riots remind me strongly of the riots that took place following the deaths of Alton Sterling, Sandra Bland, Tamir Rice, and many more. It seems most of the time, that the face of racism has never ceased to exist. I can't imagine how people felt following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr.; he was an extraordinary leader and the face of the civil rights movement.
Uzziyah Cohen says:
The death of any human being is sad; however, the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King was tragic. I feel a connection to Dr. Martin Luther King on several levels first as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Inc., and second as a Freemason. This article passionately details the results of the assassination of Martin King Jr., And how the riders ironically used violence to protest disrespect towards civil rights leader that embody nonviolence. Additionally, this piece exhibited how government can have a positive impact and challenging or violent situations. Although this may have been the end of the civil rights era, it was the beginning of social equality in America.
Nawaf Almarwaie says:
the KING, done great job to the whole nation by trying to convince the decision makers and law makers to give black people their rights, and to end the segregation, i can imagine how people were felling when they first heard about the assassination, how the thought that their dreams of equality gone away, not only that but also they did not know if this inequality situation will least forever or there is another king will come out and ask for people rights. certainly that that night was one of the saddest day for the whole nation
Alicia Guzman says:
The author sets this article up well because I try to imagine what I would be like finding out about the assassination of an American civil rights icon and hero. It is no wonder that the man who have given so many communities hope about equality were upset. It seems that this may have been the straw that broke the camel's back. In a way it is a little sad since violence was the opposite of King's doctrine. May he rest in peace.
Sharriah Martinez says:
This article was very well written and explained the riots that went on for four days after Martin Luther King's Death. MLK advocated for peace, he never believed that was and violence would solve disagreements. When he was assassinated people then broke out into a rage when they discovered restaurants and businesses were not closing out of respect for this man. The riots got so our of hand twelve people died, and over a thousand were injured. I knew of MLK's death, the sadness and anger that erupted but not the riots and deaths. Thank you for the great article.

I can only imagine what it must have felt like to learn that the man who advocated for peace was gunned down. They reacted much the same way the residents of Ferguson, Missouri did after the shooting of Michael Brown, with violence. Anger and frustration can only be ignored for so long before it bubbles to the surface and erupts. Your article made for a great read!

After social equality pioneer Martin Luther King Jr, passed on numerous individuals needed to demonstrate their appreciation by shutting their shops however many did not have any desire to and that how the mobs began. This article could have included more subtleties on the mobs and yet with it was as yet educational. Its amusing after the passing of a standout amongst the most serene social equality pioneer so much viciousness rose.

Governor Christie spent the past week on the campaign trail hitting key issues that are popular with the conservative voters who likely hold the key to his success as a Republican candidate for president.
His tour through the early voting states, which includes return trips to New Hampshire and Iowa this week, comes as his campaign and a super PAC supporting his candidacy are spending a combined $1 million to run political ads nationally on Fox News that show Christie criticizing President Obama over the Iran nuclear deal, just as the next round of horse-race polls are being conducted.
The next two weeks are likely to be critical for the New Jersey governor.
Once a front-runner and the man many pushed to run for president four years ago, Christie is now so far down in the polls that analysts say he needs to build support among these conservatives to keep his chances alive for a spot in Fox News' televised debate next month. Fox plans to use national polls to select which 10 of the 16 declared GOP candidates will appear in the first debate.
