Democrats like Murphy … but poll says that's pretty much it

Gov. Phil Murphy's approval ratings haven't changed much this year, a new Monmouth University Poll finds, with New Jerseyans fairly evenly divided in their assessments of him though more united in their opinion that he lacks major accomplishments.
The survey of 713 adults finds 41% approve of the job being done by the Democratic governor and 38% disapprove. There was a similar three-point spread in a February poll by Monmouth, 43% to 40%.
"So Phil Murphy's, in many ways, kind of flying under the radar," said poll director Patrick Murray. "He has support from his fellow Democrats but negative ratings from independents and Republicans right now."
The only job-rating number on the rise was the share who had no opinion, up from 17% to 21%.
"It's within the margin of error for the polls. But it also suggests that the governor really isn't making an impact and getting into the hearts and minds of New Jerseyans," Murray said. "He's not doing anything that the vast majority of New Jerseyans sit up and take note of and say, 'Oh, this is what the governor's up to.'"
Murray said it's notable that Murphy's approval number among Democrats is 71%, with his net job approval in his own party at roughly the same margin as it was a year and a half ago: "In this partisan era, we generally see those ratings more above 80%."
The governor's ratings among independents have slumped appreciably, from slightly positive reviews in April 2018 (41% to 33%) to slightly negative reviews in February (39% to 43%) to clearly negative views now (28% to 49%).
That downturn has happened even as Republicans appear to have gotten less alarmed about Murphy.
That's not to say Republicans like the governor's performance: His approval rating among GOP respondents was 16%, with 67% disapproving. But that compares with ratings of 11% to 85% in February and is substantially similar to the party's view of Murphy in April 2018, months after he took office.
"When he came into office, in his first year, there was a lot of worry among conservatives that he was going to be really bad for business. He was going to be too liberal. But I think there's a sense that he really hasn't accomplished all those things that he really wanted to accomplish, and there's been no harm, no foul," Murray said. "So we see actually Republicans are the one who's moving and saying, 'You know what, he hasn't really hurt us that much, because he really hasn't had that much of an impact.'"
The socioeconomic group seen most clearly as being helped by Murphy's policies have been wealthy residents, according to the poll.
The share of residents who say Murphy's policies have no impact on middle-class residents have gone from 17% in early 2018 to 27% early this year to 36% now. As that number has grown, the shares who say his policies have helped or hurt the middle class have dropped equally.
Murray said if you're Murphy, that's not good.
"That is probably more the problematic part of what we're seeing in this poll, which is not that people are saying that they agree or disagree with what he's doing but simply saying, 'You know what? He's not having much of an impact on the state right now,'" Murray said.

Case in point: Just 12% of New Jerseyans say Murphy has major accomplishments as governor. Forty-two percent credit him for minor accomplishments, while 36% say he's had no real accomplishments to point to.
"He's not doing anything that really is resonating with the vast majority of New Jerseyans," Murray said.

De Bloementunnel is een deels gerealiseerde tunnelaftakking in de Schipholtunnel die beoogd was om een verbinding met de Bloemenveiling Aalsmeer te leggen. Een eerste tunneldeel in ruwbouw is aangelegd. Dit korte deel takt af van de buitenste buis aan de oostzijde van het tracé van Hoofddorp naar Schiphol leidt.
Dit betreft een gewone spoortunnel en moet niet verward worden met een in de jaren 1990 geplande autonome transportunnel die ook als Bloementunnel bekend staat.
De tunnel is nooit voltooid, wijzigingen in de wereldwijde bloemenmarkt maken het onwaarschijnlijk dat de tunnel ooit voor het beoogde doel in gebruik wordt genomen. Nu slapen de daklozen van Schiphol er weleens in.

Wavecrest Bar & Bistro Hosts AFL Grand Final Day!


This past Saturday I was invited to attend the Instagram Klipdrift Gold #JoziFTW Photo Walk in downtown Jozi. Usually at Photo Walks I shoot with my digital SLR camera, so it was a pleasant change to photograph with my lightweight iPhone instead of my rather cumbersome Canon 5D markiii!
After a meet 'n greet at the Quirk offices, the bunch of us piled into the bus and immediately started tweeting! Our tour started at Nelson Mandela Bridge, and then moved on to Mary Fitgerald and the Market Theatre. We then had lunch and a Klipdrift Gold talk on the roof at Parktonian – and enjoyed the elevated 360-degree view. Once our bellies were full and our iPhones charged, we set out to explore downtown Jozi.
A heart-felt thank you to Klipdrift Gold and Quirk, much fun was had and Instagram followers gained!
How awesome!!!! Ok – so now we need to do this in Cape Town!
Great photos, Rikki. You certainly have an eye for documentary images!

Q: how to make a outlined input with floating label with custom css? I want to make an input with the floating label. Exactly like the material-ui for react.
Material UI Code :
<TextField
  id="outlined-basic"
  label="E-Mail"
  variant="outlined"
  placeholder="Enter E-Mail"
  />

Link for seeing output for the above code : Code
What I want is, the label must be inside the input field. When the user is clicking the input field, the label should float and the placeholder should be shown. If the user doesn't enter anything and if the focus changes, again the placeholder must be hidden and the label must comeback to initial position
What I have tried so far is :

.container {
    height: 100%;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
    }

    .material-textfield {
    position: relative;
    }

    label {
    position: absolute;
    font-size: 1rem;
    left: 0;
    top: 50%;
    transform: translateY(-50%);
    background-color: white;
    color: gray;
    padding: 0 0.3rem;
    margin: 0 0.5rem;
    transition: 0.1s ease-out;
    transform-origin: left top;
    pointer-events: none;
    }
    input {
    font-size: 1rem;
    outline: none;
    border: 1px solid gray;
    border-radius: 5px;
    padding: 1rem 0.7rem;
    color: gray;
    transition: 0.1s ease-out;
    }
    input:focus {
    border-color: #6200ee;
    }
    input:focus + label {
    color: #6200ee;
    top: 0;
    transform: translateY(-10%) scale(0.9) !important;
    }
    input:not(:placeholder-shown) + label {
    top: 0;
    transform: translateY(-50%) scale(0.9) !important;
    }

    input:empty + label {
    transform: translateY(75%);
    font-weight: bold;
    }

    input:empty:not(:placeholder-shown) + label {
    top: 0;
    transform: translateY(-50%) scale(0.9) !important;
    }

    input:empty::-webkit-input-placeholder {
    opacity: 0;
    }

      <input placeholder="placeholder" type="text" />
       label

A: You were mostly there with your code. The most important thing to note, :empty means nothing for inputs. It will always be applied because inputs can't have children.
Though the :placeholder-shown is pretty much the main workaround to styling an empty input.
I removed most of the :empty styles and replaced some with :placeholder-shown.
The other thing I did was I set up the focus and not-empty transitions to be the same.
input:not(:focus)::placeholder {
  opacity: 0;
}

This makes it so the placeholder is hidden only when it's not focused.
Here's the full results:

.container {
  height: 100%;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
}

.material-textfield {
  position: relative;
}

label {
  position: absolute;
  font-size: 1rem;
  left: 0;
  top: 50%;
  transform: translateY(-50%);
  background-color: white;
  color: gray;
  padding: 0 0.3rem;
  margin: 0 0.5rem;
  transition: 0.1s ease-out;
  transform-origin: left top;
  pointer-events: none;
}

input {
  font-size: 1rem;
  outline: none;
  border: 1px solid gray;
  border-radius: 5px;
  padding: 1rem 0.7rem;
  color: gray;
  transition: 0.1s ease-out;
}

input:focus {
  border-color: #6200ee;
}

input:focus+label {
  color: #6200ee;
  top: 0;
  transform: translateY(-50%) scale(0.9) !important;
}

input:not(:placeholder-shown)+label {
  top: 0;
  transform: translateY(-50%) scale(0.9) !important;
}

input:not(:focus)::placeholder {
  opacity: 0;
}

}

    <input placeholder="placeholder" type="text" />
     label

That all being said, there are some accessibility issues with the Material Design shrink labels. So, just make sure you are aware of potential issues.

SHELLAN, Morris – enlisted 5 Aug 1864 at age 21 as a Recruit in Company I, 14th Regiment. Occupation given as a laborer. No discharge date given
Regimental History
On September 24, 1862, the regiment was organized and mustered in Concord, New Hampshire. In October 1862, the 14th NH arrived in Washington, D.C. where it camped on East Capitol Hill before establishing winter quarters at Poolesville, Maryland. From November 1862 to April 1863, the 14th NH served picket duty along the upper Potomac River. From the fall of 1862 until early 1864 the 14th performed bloodless garrison duty in and around Washington, and it sailed to Louisiana and back on a foiled mission during the first half of that year.
In April 1863, the regiment moved its quarters to Camp Adirondack, in northeast Washington D.C. From April 1863 to the end of the year, the 14th NH performed guard duty at Old Capitol Prison, transporting prisoners and deserters, and at the Navy Yard Bridge (Benning's Bridge). In early 1864, the 14th NH briefly performed picket duty, in the Shenandoah Valley. The regiment returned to New Hampshire to vote in the spring elections which were heavily contested.
On March 16, 1864, the 14th N.H. departed for Louisiana to participate in the Red River Campaign, but arrived after it had ended. The regiment served at Camp Parapet, Carrollton, and Jefferson City until June 1864, when they returned to Virginia. The 14th served at Fortress Monroe and Berryville in Virginia until the end of July 1864. From August to December 1864, the regiment was part of General Sheridan's Army of the Shenandoah, and participated in Three Battles: the Battle of Opequon (AKA the Third Battle of Winchester) on September 19, 1864; they then suffered heavy losses at the Battle of Fisher's Hill on September 22, 1864; and then the 14th fought its last fight at the Battle at Cedar Creek on October 19, 1864.
At the conclusion of the Civil War, the 14th NH was stationed near Augusta and Savannah, Georgia. On July 8, 1865, the 14th New Hampshire Volunteer Regiment was mustered out in Savannah.
The Battle of Opequon
(photo: destroyed RR bridge over the Opequon River)
This battle, more commonly known as the Third Battle of Winchester, was fought in Winchester, Virginia, on September 19, 1864, during the Valley Campaigns of 1864 in the American Civil War.
As Confederate Lt. Gen. Jubal A. Early raided the B&O Railroad at Martinsburg, WV, Union Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan advanced toward Winchester along the Berryville Pike crossing Opequon Creek. The Union advance was delayed long enough for Early to concentrate his forces to meet the main assault, which continued for several hours. Casualties were very heavy. The Confederate line was gradually driven back toward the town. Mid-afternoon, Early ordered a general retreat. The Confederate army was in full retreat. Caught in the retreat were the wives of several Confederate generals staying in Winchester. John B. Gordon was forced to leave his wife behind in attempts to keep his troops intact, believing she would become a prisoner of the Union army. She did, however, manage to escape in time.
Because of its size, intensity, serious casualties among the general officers on both sides, and its result, many historians consider this the most important conflict of the Shenandoah Valley.
In January, 1867, while serving as the head of the Department of the Gulf, in New Orleans, Gen. Philip Sheridan penned a letter to Rebecca Wright, in Winchester, Virginia, regarding affairs in which she had played part, less than three years before. "You are not probably aware of how great a service you rendered the Union cause", wrote Sheridan, "by the information you sent me by the colored man a few days before the battle of Opequon, on Sept. 19, 1864."

The Battle of Fisher's Hill
Located near Strasburg, Virginia, the second battle the 14thInfantry fought in was the Battle of Fisher's Hill on September 21–22, 1864, as part of the Valley Campaigns of 1864.
(photo: Confederate prisoners taken at Fisher's Hill)
Union Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan had almost 30,000 men in the Shenandoah Valley opposing Confederate Lt. Gen. Jubal Early who had just under 10,000 men. Early, following the Third Battle of Winchester took a strong position. His right rested on the North Branch of the Shenandoah River. The left flank of his infantry was on Fisher's Hill. Confederate cavalry was expected to hold the ground from there to Little North Mountain.
Maj. Gen. George Crook advised Sheridan to flank this position. His command was assigned to move along the wooded slopes of the mountain to attack the cavalry. Crook's attack began about 4 p.m. on September 22, 1864. The infantry attack pushed the Confederate troopers out of their way. The Confederates fell back to Waynesboro, Virginia. Union Brig. Gen. Alfred Torbert was sent into the Luray Valley with 6,000 cavalrymen to force his way through the 1,200 Confederate cavalrymen. Torbert was then supposed to move through the New Market and Luray Gap in Massanutten Mountain and come up behind Early and cut-off his retreat at Fisher's Hill. Torbert fell back after making a token effort against Wickham's force at Milford (present day Overall) and Early escaped.
Battle of the Battle of Cedar Creek
The last engagement fought by the 14th Infantry (also known as the Battle of Belle Grove) was fought on 19 Oct 1864. It was the culminating battle of the Valley Campaigns of 1864 during the American Civil War. Confederate Lt. Gen. Jubal Early launched a surprise attack against the encamped army of Union Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan, across Cedar Creek, northeast of Strasburg, Virginia. During the morning fighting, seven Union infantry divisions were forced to fall back and lost numerous prisoners and cannons. Early failed to continue his attack north of Middletown and Sheridan, dramatically riding to the battlefield from Winchester, was able to rally his troops to hold a new defensive line. Sheridan had spent the night in Winchester, on his way back from the Washington conference. Maj. Gen. Horatio G. Wright was in temporary command of the Army of the Shenandoah. A Union counterattack that afternoon routed Early's army.
(photo: Sheridan's ride at Cedar Creek, chromolithograph by Louis Prang Company)
General Sheridan wrote in his official report an account of the famous ride:
I was unconscious of the true condition of affairs until about 9 o'clock, when having ridden through the town of Winchester, the sound of the artillery made a battle unmistakable, and on reaching Mill Creek, half a mile south of Winchester, the head of the fugitives appeared in sight, trains and men coming to the rear with appalling rapidity. I immediately gave directions to halt and park the trains at Mill Creek, and ordered the brigade at Winchester to stretch across the country and stop all stragglers. Taking twenty men from my escort, I pushed on to the front, leaving the balance under General Forsyth and Colonels Thom and Alexander to do what they could in stemming the torrent of fugitives. I am happy to say that hundreds of the men, when of reflection found they had not done themselves justice, came back with cheers. … still none behaved more gallantly or exhibited greater courage than those who returned from the rear determined to reoccupy their lost camp.[*]
The final Confederate invasion of the North was effectively ended. The Confederacy was never again able to threaten Washington, D.C., through the Shenandoah Valley, nor protect one of its key economic bases in Virginia. The stunning Union victory aided the reelection of Abraham Lincoln and Sheridan won lasting fame.

Had always wanted to paddle Henderson, a place my folks had visited with their Hornbecks. With my mom's passing, I thought it appropriate to take one of the boats up for a lap around the lake in their honor. Right decision.
Day started cloudy and sprinkling in Lake Pleasant, where I was based, but I looked at the forecast and the old adage of "rain before 7, quit before 11" looked like it was going to be again true.
Long Lake pit stop brought still cloudy skies and drizzle, so I started to get concerned. As I drove by the overlook in Newcomb, though, my hopes were confirmed: blue sky, lifting clouds, no rain.
Hit the Calamity trail for the quick jaunt to the dam with Hornbeck over my shoulder. The arm westbound was calm, but then when I passed the point, the full force of a pretty solid NW wind hit me. I ferried across to the W shore, ducking in and out of the many coves to rest as the panorama unfolded. And what a panorama it is... "McNaughty" takes center stage, only to be upstaged by the cliffs of Wallface, which are spectacular. The southern Macs then come into view, with the SW to NE "gunsight" along the shoulder of Marshall becoming more prominent as you paddle north.
Explored the Henderson leanto- have to make a return trip and camp there- what a spot. The babbling brook next to it was really pretty and would surely be a great lullaby. Ate lunch on the beach below the leanto before continuing the trip around. The eastern shore is like the western: cliffs dropping out of sight into the depths, with cedars cascading off of them and hanging over the water.
After 3 hours I was back at the dam, still in full sunshine. Took a short trek on the well-signed trail that wanders through the ruins of Adirondac- very nice addition.
All in all a wonderful day. Got me thinking of creating a "46rs" for paddlers: Create a list of HP public-access lakes and ponds that require carrying in. Henderson, Preston Ponds, Avalanche, Colden, Flowed Lands, Boreas, Giant's Washbowl, Wallface Ponds, Bradley Pond, and of course, Lost Pond (from which the Hornbeck model I paddled gets its name), to name a few on my list for starters. Lake Tear and Mary Louise might also be considered, but they would be rugged... Now have done 2 of them!
Sounds like it was an excellent choice...where's the pics??
Oh, and you left one off your list, Muck Hole, formerly known as Duck Hole!
Is there still enough to paddle in at DH?
Will see if I can figure out how to post pics. Can you send me to a link for how to upload from a Mac? I do not have a cloud storage link, just would be from the machine.
Muck Hole is about 1/3 of the pre Irene size, still enough to paddle and some of the Cold River headwaters are navigable too, at least as far as the broken dam.


Greedy goblin: Weekend minipost: nerf war costs!
Weekend minipost: nerf war costs!
Damn war costs are high! There should really be a pay for 2, get 3 discount: Yes, that's almost 8B/week, which is about a well fit supercarrier a month. However the results are about two titans worth of kills, even in a bad month. Who wouldn't trade a mothership for two titans?
The zero fields refer to no funded wars. If you want to make difference, you can sponsor any of them. Contact General Lemming if you want to fund a Lemming war and Tora Bushido if you want Marmites to kill the evil ones. You can make difference in EVE, maybe your few hundred million ISK will enable a beauty like this, this, these, this or even this! Be the buttefly whose wingflaps create a storm that cleanse griefing, tribalism and "meta-gaming" from New Eden! Join the holy crusade against those who want to destroy our game!
As long as they have members, they worth deccing.
To even consider contributing i'd need to see some concrete proof that it's effective. Killmails are fine, but they only show that they are getting some losses, not that it's having a long term effect on their running. What can you show us that can make us believe that this will actually cleanse this group from the game?
You should use your influence as patron and have Lemmings rolled into Marmite so you can save 1.5 billion in costs.
I'm sure that both sides would enjoy the much bigger target pool as well.
Marmite is a general wardeccer. They dec CFC because I pay them, but also dec N3 renters and anything that moves.
Lemmings are much more focused.
At the end of the day, the only thing going away is your ISK. None of these organizations will go away due to your paying for war dec fees. So you kill some noobs or idiots...thats it.


Before subscribing to all these get-better, look-better brouhaha, let's go back to the basics of good grooming. One of the most over-looked, often neglected part of good grooming? Why, the teeth, of course. After a good inuman, it is so much easier to skip the sink and head straight to sleep, no? Never mind the stinkbomb from your mouth the morning after. Which you'll prolly have to live with till lunchtime because you'll prolly wake up late, too.
It's a bad habit we all need to kill pronto. And so, a four-point plan you can follow to give your teeth some much-needed, well-deserved TLC.
1. Look at your 'brush. Is the head almost bald in the middle, with the bristles spread wide apart? If yes, you're a heavy brusher. Which means you're destroying the tooth enamel. Which means your pearly whites are more prone to stains. Opt for a flexible-headed toothbrush. This will neutralize the force from your hebigat hands.
2. Clean. Before going through brushing your teeth, soak it in a mouthwash for about a minute. This will kill harmful germs.
3. Whiten. Stained from too much coffee and cigarettes? Use a whitening toothpaste.
4. Get cheesy. Cheddar coats the enamel with sugar-resistant substances for a good five hours. Most cheese has phosphate and casein so calcium is strengthened to fill potholes and rid away plaque.

Le World Series 1954 sono state la 51ª edizione della serie di finale della Major League Baseball al meglio delle sette partite tra i campioni della National League (NL) 1954, i New York Giants e quelli della American League (AL), i Cleveland Indians. A vincere il loro quinto titolo furono i Giants per quattro gare a zero.

I Giants interruppero una serie record di cinque trionfi consecutivi dei New York Yankees. Questo fu l'ultimo titolo durante la loro permanenza a New York. Dopo il trasferimento a San Francisco, la squadra non vi riuscì più sino al 2010.

Enjoy Your Vacation with a Van Rental – Auto Insurance Rate Majestic – Always There for You.
Going on vacation is thrilling but if you have a large family or a lot of luggage, then you may struggle to get everyone in your car comfortably. The best way to ensure that everyone has plenty of space is to work with a rental company and hire a van. This will allow you to travel in comfort and style and will keep everyone from being cramped during the trip.
Before you sign a rental contract for a van, you will want to make sure that the company regularly services their vehicles and that they are newer models with all of the amenities that you need. In addition, you will need to ask about the age limit for rentals, what kind of guarantees they offer if you do experience trouble while on the road, and what kind of insurance they have for their vans.
When you rent a van, you will travel in style, stay safe, and relax knowing that you are in an updated vehicle. It's time to leave your car at home and rent from a reputable company.


Re: Where did my Custom contact sounds go!?
Where did my Custom contact sounds go!?
My S7 just updated to Oreo 8.0.0 and now all my custom contact notification sounds have gone! I know that they had made a change in the messages app to be able to customize the sound, as I found it for a friend who just got an S9, but it's nowhere to be found on my phone! I do not want to get a new phone right now, so I'm a little more than pissed because like many, I had sounds for specific people to know who was messaging me without having to look. When is this going to be fixed!?
Welcome to our Support Community! This has been a hot topic and a feature that most Android users utilize. The change to custom notifications is due to the Oreo update. You'll see a good amount of users on our Support Community chatting about it: s9+ Ringtones and Notifications by Contact Contact notifications You'll want to contact Samsung to provide your feedback directly to them as they are the device manufacturer. From looking at other posts, the only way to work around this until a future update is rolled out (that'll hopefully include custom notifications) is to utilize a third-party messaging app.
I'm upset with the same issue & an not into using 3rd party messaging apps especially since installing any app at this point has become a storage issue. My question for you is this feature gone across the board on Samsung Galaxy devices with the Oreo OS all together?? So if I was to purchase a Galaxy S9, I still wouldn't have this features in the stock text messaging app? It was something I could personalize under each contact if I just went in to edit it? Also, I noticed they kept the option to customize the vibration tone for each contact... hope is that a better feature than the notification tone being customized since there's only maybe 5 different vibrating patterns & those aren't going to help me identify who's texting me or doing anything, why was that feature untouched but yet a feature that worked & was being used obviously by a large portion of customers was removed completely? You mentioned we need to reach out to Samsung about this feature being removed... but can you help point me in the correct direction at least please & also answer my main question please: Was this feature removed from all Samsung Galaxy devices including the S9 in the stock messaging app please? & is this something that goes across providers as well with the Galaxy S7 with the latest Oreo update in July, 2018 please?
Hey there! I'm sorry it looks like no one got to your last post so I'll just let you know that I have an LG G6 with Oreo and I don't have the option for individual notification ringtones either. As far as a 3rd party messaging app, Textra is pretty popular and allows for individual contact notification sounds.


This morning's weight was 370.5, down from 379.7 at the beginning of the month; there was a bump up to 387.6 right before the 4th, so in a way it's a little more impressive than it looks at first. Morning BG have also been good enough for long enough that I've cut one metformin and two glipizide off the daily dose. Been keeping the carbs down in the 30-35 range, and most days I've been eating only about 1300 calories, so I guess it's not too surprising that the pounds have been melting away. Past performance is no guarantee of future results, but I might fall off the bottom of the monthly weight chart, which only goes down to 365, by the end of the month. We'll see.
Reactivated my file with Accountemps today at the Tyson's office, and I guess it went well. I'll know for sure if they call me and send me out on assignment this week.
Going to head out shortly and take in the Nationals/Pirates game, which was a $1 special. Unfortunately, Metro costs are more than I can afford and the local parking is even worse, so I think I'll resort to parking under the Frederick Douglass bridge and walk to the stadium as I did when I went to the O's game with brian_edminster and Brenda last year. We'll see how that works out. I'm lighter now than i was then, but on the other hand I haven't been doing a lot of walking.

Justin Noble has taken his first Formula Vee win of the season. Justin saw his 2015 season get underway with limited track time at the unfamiliar Summit Point circuit. Unfortunately, both qualifying and the first race were cut short due to damage to the barriers and a safety car period, but it was a good learning experience for him.
Sunday was a great day for Justin. With a 10 minute morning warm up allowing him to get a feel for the conditions before the race started.
When the green flag dropped, Justin, starting in 2nd position, immediately slotted in behind the leader and stayed right on his tail for the first 2 laps. After seeing where the race leader's weaknesses were, Justin made a bold move at the start of lap 3 into Turn 1 and made it stick. He held the lead until the end of the race, taking the checkered flag in first place, for his first win of the season.
With a win in the opening round of the season, it's back to work for Justin, hoping to secure another podium in round 2. Justin is also aiming to join the world famous Skip Barber racing series later in the year.

Meteorite in China's Xinjiang a 'Heavenly Warning'?
A meteorite crashing into a Xinjiang Province village on Thursday has netizens commenting over the incident as a possible "heavenly warning sign," with no good portent.
The rock landed in a dump site at 2:00 a.m. and left a ten foot hole in the ground. No casualties have been reported and scientists are researching the origin of the meteorite, according to official media.
"The falling of a meteorite connotes an impending event of great importance," wrote another netizen.
According to ancient Chinese culture, the fall of a meteorite onto Earth is an omen that the Emperor hasn't done a satisfactory job leading his people, or that deaths or social instability are not far off.
In the past, there have been several major incidents that followed meteor showers.
On March 8, 1976, three large meteorites and over 3,000 small ones hit Jilin Province, the biggest shower since the Chinese Communist Party took power. In the same year, the Party's three major leaders—Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and Zhou Enlai—all died. And in July of that year, an earthquake in Hebei Province claimed hundreds of thousands of lives.
Then in 1997, a meteorite shower struck Shandong Province, only four days before Deng Xiaoping's death on Feb. 19.
Coming second place for the biggest meteor shower in CCP history was when meteorites hit Qinghai Province, on Feb. 11, 2012; that took place just before the Wang Lijun incident and Bo Xilai scandal, which exposed to the public fierce factional infighting in the regime.
No one is quite sure what the most recent meteorite shower may bring.

IAM Cycling (IAM)
Totally by accident. That's how the IAM Cycling Team got its World Tour licence at the end of 2014. Following various mergers by several other professional teams, IAM moved up to the top UCI level, but it had to double its budget to get there. Michel Thétaz, the owner of IAM Investment Funds, did not need to be asked twice. Consequently the Swiss crew has clearance to start in all the World Tour races.
Swiss Champion Michael Elmiger has repeatedly made his mark in the spring of 2015. With his 5th place in the Paris-Roubaix cobbled classic and 10th place in the Tour of Flanders he showed everyone just what he made of. He is keeping very quiet about what spectators can expect from him on the first race weekend in Risch/Rotkreuz. One thing is for sure: Elmiger knows every corner and every metre on the first two days of racing by heart. It is to be hoped that Marcel Aregger will also be fit to start the Tour de Suisse following his bad crash in the "Dwars door Vlaanderen" race, particularly as he also lives on the Zug section of the race, on Lake Aegeri.

Q: Periodic solutions are Lyapunov Stable Consider the ODE
$$
\left\{ \begin{align*}
\dot{x}=&y\\
\dot{y}=&-x^2-bx-c.
\end{align*}\right.
$$
Under the assumption that $b^2-4c>0$, we find the equilibria $P_1=\left(\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4c}}{2},0\right)$ and $P_2=\left(\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4c}}{2},0\right)$. Around $P_1$, the linearized system allow us to conclude that $P_1$ is a center and orbits around $P_1$ are periodic.
Using the first integral $F(x,y)=\frac{y^2}{2}+\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{bx^2}{2}+cx$ around $P_1$, we can use Morse Lemma to prove that these periodic solutions also occur on the non linear system as well, and therefore, stable.
I want to prove, however, that these periodic solutions (for the non linear system) are Lyapunov stable. Looking at the system on polar coordinates gave me nothing. Can someone give me a hint (not an answer)?
As reference, this is from exercise 5.4 from Verhulst's "Nonlinear Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems".
Thanks in advance!

A: It's a bit hard to give a hint without giving away the answer, but here's an attempt:
The periodic trajectories form a family of closed curves around $P_1$ (at least if $b>0$, which perhaps is understood). Like this, for example: WA plot.
So if you're circling around on one of those curves and make a small perturbation, where do you end up?

A: I don't know if I answered your question. Let $\lambda_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4c}}{2}$ and $u=x-\lambda_1,v=y$ and then the equations become
$$ u'=v,v'=-u^2-\sqrt{b^2-4c}u. $$
Let
$$ V=\frac13u^3+\frac12\sqrt{b^2-4c}u^2+\frac12v^2 $$
and then $\dot{V}=0$. So $V\equiv C$ is a trajectory for any $C$. For small $C>0$, $V\equiv C$ is a closed trajectory. So $P_1$ is not Liapunov stable.


Y GLANNAU secured second spot in the Vale of Clwyd and Conwy League Division One standings with a game to play following a 3-2 home win over Llysfaen.
Another fine display on home soil secured a hugely impressive three points against a spiriting visiting side, and they moved two points ahead of Henllan and four clear of Rhos United to guarantee runners-up spot.
The hosts got off to a flyer and went ahead after just six minutes when Rhys Tomos Clark broke clear and finished well, but this was met by a strong response from the visitors, who levelled matters on 32 minutes through a fine strike from Gareth Dentith.
This spurred on the away side further towards the end of the first half, and their improved tempo brought further reward when Dentith despatched his second of the afternoon with a minute remaining in the half.
After the break saw the hosts regroup and get themselves back on level terms on 55 minutes when Clark capitalised on some space to put away his brace, and the crucial moment of the contest arrived with 74 on the clock as Adam Hall's superb strike found the corner to put the home side in front for a second time.
This proved to be a huge deciding factor in the overall outcome, and Glannau saw out the remainder of the encounter with minimal fuss to seal their 12th success in 19 league games this term.

IT infrastructure is a dynamic, evolving entity. As complexity increases and cloud and virtualized environments become mainstream, IT personnel must build flexibility into their monitoring approach, and be willing to keep their eyes on the ball 24/7. Today, IT needs a management methodology that focuses on integrating business services to the underlying, and frequently changing, IT infrastructure.
Within such a fluid environment, IT managers and directors can no longer expect to continue on an isolated track, monitoring disparate silos independently. Although their prior knowledge of existing IT processes remains valuable, they must be willing to make changes in their approach and response to new situations. Novel best practices have to be embraced. Risk must be mitigated by drawing from and building upon other people's experiences. To put it into perspective, it does not take a single, major leap to manage a virtualized or cloud-based IT environment. Well-planned and incremental steps can take IT personnel there with minimal cost, effort and turbulence.
Although much has been written and published about new best practices in IT infrastructure management, very little of the writing is immediately actionable, or easy to assimilate into an existing workflow. Which is where _i_#IT OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT tweet Book01_/i_ steps in, to fill a long-standing need.
As the leaders of Product Marketing for the HP Software Operations Center, authors _b__i_Peter Spielvogel, Jon Haworth, and Sonja Hickey_/i__/b_ are eminently qualified to articulate their vision for IT architecture management going forward. In _i_#IT OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT tweet Book01_/i_, they reflect on the role that a strong team, robust processes, leading edge technology including automation technology, and embedded automated operations play within his vision.
Today, virtualization and cloud computing are bringing about great change but, as Peter and his team explain, neither is a panacea. Virtualization can come at a great price if inefficient management practices erode savings on hardware, power, and cooling. Cloud computing requires companies to manage, among other things, the availability and performance of the services they purchase from their cloud vendor. IT best practices must be prepared to meet these new challenges, with a clear understanding of the accompanying constraints.
Written by three industry experts with decades of IT experience under their belts, and presented in the digestible, actionable tweet format, this book certainly deserves a spot on every IT manager's bookshelf.
_i_#IT OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT tweet Book01_/i_ is part of the THINKaha series whose 112-page books contain 140 well-thought-out quotes (tweets/ahas).

Urban Resource Institute (URI) is a Manhattan-based nonprofit organization that offers services for survivors of domestic violence, the homeless, and adults who have been diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Serving over 1,600 individuals annually, URI currently operates six domestic violence shelters, with over 600 beds, as well as three permanent residences for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In addition, the organization operates programs and services to empower survivors of domestic violence and provide them with therapy and legal assistance. URI also provides support services for homeless families in 2 city-run shelters.

History

Urban Resource Institute was founded in 1980 as an affiliate of the Addiction Research and Treatment Corporation and expanded into domestic violence services in 1984. In 1985, the organization established the Urban Center for the Developmentally Disabled. Urban Resource Institute continued to expand its services for individuals struggling with addiction, with the founding of its Marguerite T. Saunders Urban Center for Alcoholism and Addiction Services in 1988. In 1990, URI opened two permanent residencies for adults with developmental disabilities. Through the 1990s and 2000s, URI continued to bolster its services catered toward survivors of domestic violence and adults with developmental disabilities.

Nathaniel M. Fields has been the President and CEO of Urban Resource Institute since 2012, when the organization split from its affiliate and became independent.

URIPALS

Urban Resource Institute launched its URIPALS (People and Animals Living Safely) program in May 2013. URIPALS is the first program in New York and one of few in the United States that allows domestic violence survivors to live in a shelter apartment with their pets. Through URIPALS, survivors live in pet-friendly apartments and have access to private dog parks so they can play with their pets outside without encountering their abusers.

In 2015, URI published a report on the connection between domestic violence and pet ownership that drew from two years of data collected from the URIPALS program.

Economic empowerment

Urban Resource Institute (URI) has several economic empowerment programs aimed at helping domestic violence survivors become self-sufficient and recover from economic abuse.

A key element of URI's economic empowerment program is the Working Internship Network (WIN). Since 1998, WIN has successfully provided URI residents with valuable job training and internship opportunities in a variety of work settings. The program also provides residents with job-skill development services, including career-readiness and financial literacy workshops. Additionally, WIN includes career counseling, vocational and psychosocial assessments, job-readiness training, and resume-preparation assistance to help survivors of domestic violence secure the education and skills necessary to begin achieving financial freedom.

Legal education and advocacy program

URI's Domestic Violence Legal Education and Advocacy Program (LEAP) provides specialized, on-site legal services to the residents of the agency's six domestic violence shelters. LEAP served 111 shelter residents in 2015. LEAP provides legal advice, referrals, and assistance on family law issues, including custody, visitation, orders of protection, child support, and divorce. LEAP also advocates on behalf of clients with the local police precincts and district attorneys' offices.

Homelessness programs

URI has been operating homeless shelters since 2016 and currently has shelters in Harlem and Queens.  The Harlem Family Residence operates as a Tier II facility, providing 32 families with transitional housing and access to support services. The program for homeless families in Queens provides safe, temporary, emergency shelter and supportive services to 56 homeless families with children.

Developmentally Disabled

URI's Urban Center for the Developmentally Disabled (UCDD) provides one-on-one job counseling, training, placement, and job-site coaching services for individuals diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  UCDD serves individuals who have "aged out" of special education and provides transitional and supported employment opportunities and resources for adult students. Urban Resource Institute also manages two residential care facilities for individuals diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Queens.

Abusive Partner Intervention Program (APIP)

The Abusive Partner Intervention Program is URI's most recently created program. It integrates a trauma-informed approach with batterer intervention services aimed at decreasing recidivism. URI works with Westchester County Department of Probation, Westchester Jewish Community Services, and other agencies and organizations, to develop more trauma-informed offender services in New York State. Additionally, the APIP works closely with the local Integrated Domestic Violence Court to ensure offender accountability. Individuals attend the APIP program for 65 weeks, with an at-home assignment and group session presentation each week.

ARTIST: HELMUT NEWTON
Helmut Newton - Biography of the artist
Helmut Newton was born in Berlin in a Jewish family in 1920. Passionate about photography from an early age, he started to work at the age of 12 alongside photographer Elsie Neulander Simon, known as Yva.
Following the racial laws, the photographer Helmut Newton was forced to leave Germany and take refuge in Singapore, where he began to work for the Singapore Straits Times.
Later, he was deported to Australia where he joined the Australian army. After the Second World War, Helmut changed his surname Neustädter to the English translation Newton.
He spent most of his life in Paris where he started working for French Vogue. Thanks to the magazine his long career in photography was initiated.
After the Paris years, he moved and lived between Monte Carlo and Los Angeles. He lost his life in 2004 in a car accident in Hollywood.
Helmut Newton: photos and controversial style
In Helmut Newton, photos and controversial style find a common point from the very beginning of his career, when he became interested in the representation of the female body.
Helmut Newton erotic photo have both a playful and ironic intent, the woman is depicted as strong and able to seduce without necessarily being vulgar.
Helmut Newton nudes are the protagonists of almost all his photographs, where the woman dominates the scene offering a new perspective of analysis of herself and the world around her.
Pioneer and a revolutionary in the world of fashion thanks to his shots, he introduced for the first time the nude photos of the models in the 60's.
The themes that characterize the shots of Helmut Newton photography range from services made for fashion campaigns, to nudes and provocations. Helmut Newton portraits of iconic international figures such as Andy Warhol, Catherine Deneuve, and Paloma Picasso are also a distinctive feature of his art.
The image and the intent that he creates around himself and his shots is the one of a provocateur. Even the viewer, unconsciously, is provoked by his photographs since he is a sort of involuntary voyeur.
Unique in his genre, Helmut Newton work is remembered for the erotic tension that he wanted to release and describe in every single shot.
Helmut Newton: nudes and erotic content
For Helmut Newton, nudes and erotic content will be essential in his work, which began in Melbourne after the opening of his first photo studio. It was there that he met the woman who would be his muse and lover for over 56 years: June Browne, later known as June Newton.
Later, he worked with several models showing their female bodies without shame and dealing with scandalous themes such as female emancipation, sadomasochism, homosexuality, and voyeurism.
Helmut Newton models were portrayed on the photos in an ambiguous way, which made the viewers wonder about the role they had: were models given power through these shots or were they simply treated as sexual objects?
Helmut Newton always wanted to see women emancipated, therefore, he didn't want to portray them as objects but rather as subjects aware of the seductive power and femininity that resided in each of them without ever falling into vulgarity.
"I hate good taste. It's the worst thing that can happen to a creative person."
Helmut Newton: Book and Magazines
For Helmut Newton book and magazines, will play a particularly important role throughout his photographic career.
The fashion magazines he worked for include Vogue, Playboy, Vanity Fair, GQ, Elle and many others. They played a crucial role in the beginning of his career.
The photos were also showed in some exhibitions around the world such as Venice, New York, Paris, London and Moscow.
It was in the mid-seventies that he began his career as an established photographer thanks to his previous work with fashion magazines. With the publication of the first photographic volume White Woman, Helmut Newton revolutionized the concept of fashion photography and wanted to transform the role that women had in Western society.
But it is with the publication of Helmut Newton, Big Nudes that he becomes the protagonist of photography in the twentieth century. The photographic volume is, in fact, determined as it inaugurates a new dimension: the one of the gigantography. With this series, the artist gives the models an erotic and feminine charge that shows women who are strong, determined, and proud of their femininity.
A further milestone is the publication of an unprecedented work by Helmut Newton: SUMO. He started on a brave editorial adventure for the publication of this exceptionally large collection of images. The desire to create a work of these proportions was due to the fact that Newton wanted to build a sort of private exhibition.
The volume SUMO, published by TASCHEN marked a milestone not only in Newton's career but also for any publishing venture undertaken before then. Both the cost of the volume, defined as the most expensive book published during the twentieth century, and the weight, over 35 kilos, mark a turning point in publishing.

Arkansas Law Banning Medication-induced Abortions is Upheld
Amanda Casanova
Amanda Casanova is a writer living in Dallas, Texas. She has covered news for ChristianHeadlines.com since 2014. She has also contributed to The Houston Chronicle, U.S. News and World Report and…
The Supreme Court rejected a challenge this week to an Arkansas law that would block medication-induced abortions.
"Arkansas is now shamefully responsible for being the first state to ban medication abortion," Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America said in a statement.
Lawyers for the state, however, say the law is a "commonsense requirement."
The 2015 Arkansas law requires doctors who provide medication abortions to have a contract with a specialist with hospital privileges. Providers who don't adhere to the law could face criminal penalties.
Abortion providers have said the requirement is unnecessary.
With the Supreme Court rejection to overturn the law, the law can take effect in mid-July. If the law does go into effect, it is likely that the Little Rock Planned Parenthood clinic will be the only site to continue operating in the state. The Little Rock location performs surgical abortions.
The Supreme Court did not release comment on its decision to not hear the case.
"This dangerous law also immediately ends access to safe, legal abortion at all but one health center in the state," Laguens said. "If that's not an undue burden, what is? This law cannot and must not stand. We will not stop fighting for every person's right to access safe, legal abortion."
Planned Parenthood says it will now challenge the law in U.S. district court.
Medication abortion includes a two-pill dosing that can only be used in the first nine weeks of pregnancy.

Madagascar Math Ops features a ton of familiar characters from the Madagascar series of films, including favorites like Alex, Marty, Melman, Gloria, Skipper, Kowalski, Private, and Rico!
When a bunch of the zoo animals get kidnapped, it's up to the penguins to save their kidnapped friends. The penguins have developed a funny little device that turns solved math problems into soda, which powers a soda-powered jetpack. After solving equations, kids can use the jetpack in an Angry Birds-style game.
You can play as a guest, or parents can choose to register a profile for their kid. There are kid-facing and adult-facing directions, which help the game seem fun for the kids while being transparent for the adults. The controls are very simple, and it will be easy for kids to find their way around, particularly if they already play a lot of mobile games.
In terms of age appropriateness, Madagascar Math Ops is definitely charming by nature of its famous film characters. This game features thousands of different math problems, each of which is suitable for students between 1st grade to 4th grade.
The math problems in Madagascar Math Ops were based on standards developed by educational experts in the math field. Children will be able to practice skills like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, with 3 difficulty modes to keep things challenging. This game is fun, and will grow with a child as their abilities improve.

Since its introduction, Office 365 has rapidly grown in terms of features and adoption. What was launched as an affordable and easy-to-use Windows platform for small to medium-sized businesses has expanded to become a robust platform for companies of all sizes. With that expansion, though, also comes an increase in complexity.


The research is about the relationship between progress in financial performance and firm characteristics – applied capital budgeting methods, presence of a code of ethics, firm size, extent of management ownership and presence of western management culture – of Central and Eastern European firms. Data of 218 non-listed companies are used from a survey in 2006 which focused on the capital budgeting practices and other firm characteristics of firms. The most important financial indicators are followed up reflecting these firms' financial progresses – sales, profit before tax, net income, earnings before interest and taxes, total assets, equity, debt, return on equity, return on assets and number of employees – from 2005 to 2012.
Companies that do not use any kind of formal capital budgeting technique have significantly worse financial performance on average, while companies using the discounted cash flow (DCF) methods have the highest performance indicators. No significant difference in financial progresses between firms using only the accounting based (AB) or the DCF methods are found. Companies where DCF methods are frequently used, and simultaneously there is a code of ethics achieve the best financial performance. Our results provide a strong support for the theory of business ethics. Presence of a code of ethics seems to be a strong separation parameter: companies with code of ethics over-perform companies without it.

Things are very much alive in the world of the Grateful Dead, with a slew of exciting news for fans coming down the pike this week: Bob Weir's upcoming solo album, Warren Haynes getting a little help from his friends — including Jerry Garcia's revered Tiger guitar — and at long last, Garcia's catalog from outside the Dead making it to the major streaming services.

The Jerry Garcia estate announced on Thursday that Warren Haynes will play Garcia's iconic Tiger guitar on Monday, Aug. 8 at Central Park on the last night of Haynes' run Jerry Garcia Symphonic Celebration concerts.
