The Little People Party is a twice-weekly, daytime playgroup for young children and their "Big People" that currently occurs every Monday and Wednesday at The Backyard at Berry Park (formerly The Pitch, 196 N 14th St.), an indoor soccer field located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The giant, enclosed, Astroturf-covered field is decked out with games and toys for kids; for parents and other adult chaperones, the bar at Berry Park offers alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and is just hop away via a secret hallway.
Please check our Facebook Events pages for information on both weekly events.
The concept for The Little People Party was born out of a genuine need. As new parents living in North Brooklyn, husband and wife team Andy and JD were inspired by their toddler, Jarvis: He needed a larger indoor space for weekly socialization and play, and they needed to avoid going broke to accommodate him! The idea of meeting and mingling with other parents who also need a safe, stimulating, affordable, fully inclusive outlet for their children is the driving force behind each event.

The Kiowa people of the open plains of Oklahoma, southern Kansas, and Texas panhandle, were probably among the first tribes of the Plains to acquire the horse. Unlike Sioux music, Kiowa songs are distinguished by narrowness of melodic range and lack of drums, whistles, or accompaniment. This song collection includes songs typical of Plains Indians such as Sun Dance, War Dance, and Ghost Dance songs as well as songs of legend, Christian prayer, and peyote.

Triclosan's broad use in consumer goods -- including liquid hand soaps, toothpastes, shampoos, cosmetics, plastics, yoga mats, cutting boards and ice cream scoops -- presents "a very real risk of liver toxicity for people, as it does in mice," said Robert H. Tukey, a UC-San Diego professor and co-author of the study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Triclosan, a synthetic, broad-spectrum antibacterial chemical, is coming under fire because of its links to endocrine disruption that could cause infertility, impaired muscle function and now increased cancer risks.
The UC-San Diego study showed that mice exposed to triclosan for six months (roughly equivalent to 18 human years) had more and larger chemical-induced liver tumors than mice not exposed to the antimicrobial. Researchers believe triclosan may interfere with the protein responsible for detoxifying foreign chemicals in the body, thereby causing liver cells to proliferate and, over time, become cancerous tumors.
Studies have found traces of triclosan in 97 percent of breast milk samples from lactating women and in the urine of nearly 75 percent of people tested, according to a statement by UC San Diego Health System. Triclosan is also one of the seven most frequently detected compounds in streams across the United States, the statement says.
"We could reduce most human and environmental exposures by eliminating uses of triclosan that are high-volume, but of low-benefit, such as inclusion in liquid hand soaps," said Bruce D. Hammock, professor at University of California, Davis. "Yet we could also for now retain uses shown to have health value -- as in toothpaste, where the amount used is small."
Colgate-Palmolive (CL) recently came under fire because its Total toothpaste contains triclosan. A recent Care2 petition, asking Colgate to remove triclosan from its toothpaste, so far has received almost 68,000 signatures.
Triclosan is already under scrutiny by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. On its website, the FDA says, "Triclosan is not currently known to be hazardous to humans. But several scientific studies have come out since the last time FDA reviewed this ingredient that merit further review."

Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre shuts in protest at proposed law changes
10 No comment
Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilos III, speaks in front of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Reuters)
Church leaders in Jerusalem shut the Church of the Holy Sepulchre on Sunday in protest at a new Israeli tax policy and a proposed land expropriation law which they called a "systematic and unprecedented attack against Christians in the Holy Land".
Roman Catholic, Greek Orthodox and Armenian church leaders said the holy site, a popular stop for pilgrims and where many Christians believe Jesus was crucified and buried, would remain closed until further notice.
Later on Sunday, an Israeli cabinet committee is due to consider a bill that would allow the state to expropriate land in Jerusalem sold by churches to private real estate firms in recent years.
The stated aim of the bill, proposed by Kulanu MK Rachel Azaria, is to protect homeowners against the possibility that private companies will not extend their leases.
We stand united, firm and resolute in protecting our rights and our properties
– Jerusalem Church leaders
The Greek Orthodox Church has been criticised for selling large tracts of land to private investors in West Jerusalem, Jaffa and Caesarea, often in secret and without consultation with the current tenants who fear eviction when their leases expire.
However, the churches, who are major landowners in the city, say the law would make it harder for them to find buyers for their land and enable the expropriation of church land.
Control of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is shared between Catholic, Orthodox and Armenian churches as well as smaller denominations. In a joint statement Theophilos III, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Francesco Patton, the Custos of the Holy Land, and Nourhan Manougian, the Armenian Patriarch of Jerusalem said: "This abhorrent bill … if approved, would make the expropriation of the lands of churches possible."
"As a measure of protest, we decided to take this unprecedented step of closure of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre," the statement said.
"Together with all Heads of Churches in the Holy Land we stand united, firm and resolute in protecting our rights and our properties."
According to the Jerusalem Post, MK Azaria said in response to the closure: "I understand that the church is under pressure, but their lands will stay theirs, no one has any interest in taking them from them."
Jerusalem municipality cancels Church tax exemption
Christian Churches are some of largest landowners in Israel, with the Greek Orthodox Church – the second biggest landowner in the country – owning the land the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, is built on.
Whilst Israel prides itself on being a protector of Christians in the Middle East, most local Christians are Palestinians who oppose Israel's occupation of the West Bank. This has also caused tensions between Palestinian worshippers and Church leaders who are mostly non-Palestinians.
The Greek Orthodox Church leadership has been the target of protests by its worshippers who are outraged over a long-running scandal involving the sale of prime properties in East Jerusalem to a far-right Israeli settler group.
In addition to the proposed land bill, Israel's Jerusalem municipality has cancelled a tax exemption granted to church-owned commercial properties in the city and has begun to demand back payments from the churches.
Worshipers pray at the closed doors of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (Reuters)
"Recently… the Jerusalem municipality issued scandalous collection notices and orders of seizure of Church assets, properties and bank accounts for alleged debts of punitive municipal taxes," the Church leaders' statement read.
"This reminds us all of laws of a similar nature which were enacted against the Jews during dark periods in Europe," the church leaders said.
Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said on Twitter it was illogical to expect that church-owned commercial property, including hotels and retail businesses, would continue to enjoy tax-exempt status.
"Let me make it clear: we are not talking about houses of worship, who will still be exempt from property tax, according to law," he wrote.

Many people have told me that, even now, they envy me because I found the love of my life and had seven years loving him. These people -- friends and strangers -- tell me that they never had a love so profound and exhilarating. Some of these people are now in unsatisfying or semi-satisfying relationships; others are single-and-looking; some are single-and-defeated.
I'd like to tell you that it's never too late.
I didn't meet Robert until I was 57 and he was 64. Before that, I had one short marriage, a few long-term relationships, more flings than I'd like to count, and decades of single life. I wrote in Better Than I Ever Expected how I felt as if I had turned invisible after menopause, men literally looking over my head to see who else (younger, prettier) might be coming in the door. I thought it was all over, that I would never have the opportunity to give all the love that I knew was in me.
Then Robert walked in the door of my line-dance class, and, as I put it in my book, I tried to remember to breathe.
It's worth trusting and holding out for a great love rather than settling for something less satisfying. You'll know it when you find it -- not right away, because love relationships take work, and goodness, we did work on ours. But when the work paves the way for letting the love blossom and sing and paint colors in the sky, you'll know.
The length of time we can live together in great love is no measure of its value. We had seven years, and almost five of those years felt like borrowed time because of the cancer diagnosis. Even knowing the end, I would do it all again.
I'm just checking in and wanted to say hello. I hope you're doing okay.
Love happens. Your story really shows that. You just never know, sometimes I think love happens when we least expect it.
Well -- as the picture suggests -- let's keep dancing. Blessings, love and gratitude.
Joan, I'm so glad you wrote you'd do it all again, because I think some people believe that grief is so painful it makes the love not worth it. As you say here, grief is indeed painful -- almost unbearably so -- but love is definitely worth it, and no one I've ever talked to who has truly loved would trade it to not feel the pain of loss. Love and loss are two sides of the same coin -- we grieve as much as we loved, so no wonder your grief is so painful.

World-renowned yacht, Gipsy Moth IV, in which Sir Francis Chichester sailed around the globe in 1966 is making an appearance at the 2016 Barclays Jersey Boat Show.
The 53ft vessel, which was restored by the UK Sailing Academy in 2005, is now privately owned and run by a charitable trust.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Sir Francis Chichester's epic journey, which at the time set a series of records, including the fastest round the world voyage by a small vessel, the longest non-stop passage by a small vessel and the longest single-handed passage. In commemoration, Gipsy Moth IV will be appearing at a number of maritime events throughout Europe this year.
While she is in the island, visitors will have the opportunity to step aboard and experience what life was like for sailors half a century ago.
The vessel will also be available for private charter and there will be crewing opportunities available for anyone with an interest in sailing (previous experience not required).
On behalf of Ports of Jersey, organisers of the annual Barclays Jersey Boat Show, Myra Shacklady says: 'We are proud to welcome Gipsy Moth IV to our island waters during its special anniversary year and delighted that her visit has been arranged to coincide with this year's Boat Show.
The vessel's attendance at this year's Boat Show is as a result of a sponsorship agreement with Fairway Group.
For more information about charter trips and sailing experiences please contact Peter Rollason on M: 07771880148 or email info@gipsymoth.uk.
The three-day Barclays Jersey Boat Show takes place in and around St Helier Marina and Weighbridge Place over the May Bank between Saturday 30 April and Monday 2 May.

Rural inspiration
By Yang Feiyue | China Daily | Updated: 2021-07-19 07:35
Miao Huixin's Nostalgia featuring a woman's hair bun is inspired by his grandmother. [Photo provided to China Daily]
Farmer-turned-artist Miao Huixin is urging children to document changes in the countryside through art.
Miao Huixin couldn't help but smile as he introduced his artworks to an audience in Xiuzhou district, Jiaxing, Zhejiang province, in June.
Miao, a 62-year-old former farmer, is excited to see many visitors are coming to his village to see his works. He has won many awards for his paintings of rural life. He was named one of 10"outstanding Asian artists" by Time magazine in 1998 and a national "excellent folk painter" at the 7th China Art Festival in Jiaxing in 2004. He has held solo exhibitions overseas such as in the United States and Japan.
"None of that would have been possible without farmers painting," Miao says.
Farmers painting took roots in rural China in the 1950s, with distinctive historical and social elements in the early days after New China was founded. In 1984, the then Ministry of Culture (now Ministry of Culture and Tourism) and the China Artists Association held the first national exhibition of farmers painting in Beijing, which encouraged the development of this kind of art. Rural artists with different styles emerged from all over the country.
Miao began painting in the early 1980s, when local authorities offered training to him and a few other farmers who had some painting experience.
"I started copying artworks at age 18, and people around me knew it," Miao says.

Andy Aquarius - Chapel (Hush Hush)
WHAT YOUR EARS SAY & THE COVER LOOKS LIKE
Chapel by Andy Aquarius
The harp resurgence continues, this time channeled through a rare male protagonist Andy Aquarius, as he fuses this ancient instrument with gentle utterances & a supporting cast of subtle ambient embellishments in this most soothing of listens for the ever interesting Hush Hush Records.
WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY
Hush Hush Records is honored to help present the debut full-length album 'Chapel' by Berlin-based harpist, multi-instrumentalist, and vocalist Andy Aquarius. A timeless record that captures a primordial beauty, 'Chapel' places Andy's exquisite homespun harp arrangements alongside honest vocal melodies for a transcendental journey through the outer realms of ambient, classical, new age, and folk music.
Andy Aquarius is a sonic alchemist. An experimental multi-instrumentalist and fringe musician with German and Croatian roots currently based in Berlin, Andy has been roaming the underground and releasing music under various aliases that adventurously explore a wide-ranging sound covering everything from experimental folk to synth-pop, psychedelic rock, textural ambient, and film scoring.
While his blossoming discography has often featured densely layered arrangements and relatively complex instrumentations, 'Chapel' welcomes a refined minimalistic approach. Recorded in three days with Martin Fiedler at Klangbild Studios Berlin, the album places the hypnotic elegance of Andy's homebuilt harp directly in the spotlight. Each song leads with the harp and allows the instrument to build an atmospheric and immersive foundation. Utilizing his voice as an accompanying layer to the harp's lyrical brushstrokes, Andy adds his gentle voice only to accentuate key moments and support certain tonal movements. His lyrics carry a vague yet intoxicating mystical element, Andy's friend Maja Presnell provides ethereal choral harmonies on a pair of stunning standout tracks, and the album's two instrumental pieces rest comfortably alongside the album's compositionally rich vocal tracks.
Ambient, classical, new age, and folk are all genres mentioned merely as reference points. 'Chapel' differentiates itself from an easily identifiable sound from the first notes of the album's opening title track. With a clear focus on texture and ambience, Andy plucks and fingerpicks at his harp with a feathery reverence, weaving a mesmerizing instrumental soundscape for the song's first three minutes before allowing his voice to enter the mix. Maja's supporting vocals soon appear and together they swell in unison. A gorgeous tone-setter that serves as the album's lead single, "Chapel" is a perfect entry into the celestial and dreamy sonic world that Andy paints throughout the album's six-song run.
The sweeping 7-minute instrumental "High On An Astral Horse" follows, Andy patiently summoning a slow-burning labyrinthian arrangement singly through his harp. "Soon We'll Move" returns to introspective vocal territory with Andy alone on vocals, his shimmery baritone conjuring up the inward ballads of enigmatic artists such as Nick Drake, Lewis, and John Martyn at their most spacious.
The album's latter half kicks off with the 11-minute centerpiece "Morning Will Come," an organically unfolding suite that blends the dynamic melodies of Andy's intricate harp arrangement with harmonic vocals from Andy and Maja. "The Phase Has Changed" glides with a beautifully fingerpicked undercurrent, and the quickly improvised instrumental "Aquarius Moon" closes out the record in cinematic fashion with the harp's line signal mixed with a layered symphony of field recordings of various string performances. Conceived and finished in less than an hour, the somber orchestral flair of "Aquarius Moon" fittingly closes the curtain on 'Chapel.'
A sonic balm for these trying times, Andy Aquarius has crafted a special album that fits perfectly within Hush Hush's warm, atmospheric, genre-blurring catalog. This is music that makes time stand still and allows the listener to feel at peace. Andy intentionally envisioned the album in this light. He states: "This album contains emergency music. When suddenly the lights go out and the sockets cease to deliver the juice that provides the base of modern life, almost all sound will be gone. The music you can hear on this record won't be. It doesn't rely on machines. Keep close to harpers, as they sounded the same back in Babylonian times as they will sound in a distant and unknown future – like a resonant mess in the surf."

PFM Medical lands FDA approval for heart plug
August 29, 2013 By Ingrid Mezo
Cardiovascular device firm PFM Medical has the FDA's green light to market its Nit-Occlud PDA permanent prosthesis in the U.S., according to an approval order posted on FDA's Website this month.
The device is designed to non-surgically aid in the closure of small-to-moderate sized patent ductus arteriosus, a heart problem in which the ductus arteriosus, which connects 2 major heart arteries before birth to allow fetal blood circulation, fails to close normally. The opening allows oxygen-rich blood from the aorta to mix with oxygen-poor blood from the pulmonary artery, which can strain the heart and increase blood pressure in the lung arteries.
Nit-Occlud is minimally invasive and is implanted percutaneously through a catheter. It is approved for the closure of PTA with a minimum angiographic diameter less than 4 mm, the Cologne, Germany-headquartered firm noted in a press statement.
The FDA did not require PFM Medical's device to go before its Circulatory Systems Devices advisory, finding that the company's PMA for Nit-Occlud "substantially duplicates information previously reviewed by this panel." The agency did, however, ask for a newly enrolled, prospective, single-arm, multi-center post-approval trial of patients treated with Nit-Occlud and followed for 5 years post-implant.
In order to meet its primary safety and effectiveness endpoints in the post-approval study, Nit-Occlud must show an adverse event rate of less than 1%, and a greater than 85% 5-year complete closure rate, as assessed by absence of residual flow at 5 years by transthoracic echocardiograph, FDA noted in its summary of safety and effectiveness data for the device.
PFM Medical agreed to enroll 215 patients in the post-approval study to ensure 150 patients treated with the Nit-Occlud PDA will be available at 5 years post-procedure, according to FDA.
The Nit-Occlud PDA has held CE Mark approval in the European Union since 2001 and has been in commercial distribution in Europe, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East. By 2011 nearly 15,000 Nit‐Occlud devices were sold, and the device has never been withdrawn for any safety or effectiveness issues, the FDA noted.
PDA is a "fairly common" congenital heart defect in the U.S., affecting twice as many girls as boys, according to NIH. The condition occurs in about 8 of every 1,000 premature babies and in 2 out of every 1,000 full-term babies.

Minimally invasive surgical approach to excision of symptomatic ectopic inverted-Y ureteral duplications.
Upadhyay J, Zuckerman JM, Shekarriz B. Minimally invasive surgical approach to excision of symptomatic ectopic inverted-Y ureteral duplications. J Pediatr Urol. 2013;9(2):e114-6.
Inverted-Y ureteral duplications are a rare duplication anomaly with few cases reported in the literature. We report a novel minimally invasive approach to managing inverted-Y duplications in two females who presented with continuous urinary incontinence and were found to have an ectopic insertion of the duplicated ureter. The ectopic segment was excised laparoscopically without complication in the outpatient setting with resultant cure of the continuous incontinence. This represents the first report of a laparoscopic approach to this rare anomaly.

# Utilisation de vos propres données
Après avoir créé, entraîné et interrogé un discrimant du service
{{site.data.keyword.nlclassifierfull}} avec les données figurant dans l'exemple
[Initiation](/doc/natural-language-classifier/getting-started.html),
créez un discriminant qui fonctionne avec vos propres données.
Vous allez assembler et fournir ces données d'apprentissage.
{:shortdesc}

## Structure des données d'apprentissage
Vous pouvez fournir les données permettant d'entraîner
{{site.data.keyword.nlclassifiershort}} au format CSV.

Au format CSV, chaque ligne dans le fichier représente un exemple d'enregistrement. Chaque
enregistrement comporte deux colonnes ou plus. La première colonne est le texte
représentatif à classifier. Les autres colonnes comportent les classes à appliquer à ce
texte.
L'image ci-dessous représente un fichier CSV contenant quatre enregistrements. Chaque
enregistrement dans l'exemple inclut le texte entré et une classe, séparés par une
virgule :

![](images/train_sample.png)

Cet exemple est petit. De véritables données d'apprentissage incluent beaucoup
plus d'enregistrements.

Téléchargez le fichier
weather_data_train.csv
pour afficher un exemple de fichier de données d'apprentissage.

### Métadonnées supplémentaires

En plus du texte et des classes, la demande de création d'un discriminant inclut
des informations supplémentaires. Les métadonnées identifient la langue des données, et
vous pouvez également inclure un nom permettant d'identifier le discriminant.

### Format de fichier de données d'apprentissage CSV

Veillez à ce que les données d'apprentissage CSV respectent les exigences de format
suivantes :

- Les données doivent être codées en UTF-8.
- Séparez les valeurs textuelles et chaque valeur de classe par une virgule.
Chaque enregistrement (ligne) doit se terminer par un caractère de fin de ligne,
c'est-à-dire un caractère spécial ou une séquence de caractères indiquant la fin de la ligne.
- Chaque enregistrement doit comporter une valeur textuelle et au moins une valeur
de classe.

- Les valeurs de classe ne peuvent pas comporter de tabulation ni de
caractère de fin de ligne.

- Les valeurs textuelles ne peuvent pas comporter de tabulation ni de nouvelle
ligne sans traitement spécial.
Pour conserver les tabulations ou les nouvelles lignes, mettez les tabulations en
échappement avec `\t` et les nouvelles lignes avec
`\r`, `\n` ou `\r\n`.

	Par exemple, `Texte exemple\tavec tabulation` est valide, alors que
`Texte exemple    avec tabulation` ne l'est pas.
- Placez toujours les valeurs textuelles et de classe entre guillemets dans les
données d'apprentissage si elles comportent les caractères suivants :

	- Des virgules : `"Texte exemple, avec virgule"`.
	- Des guillemets. De plus, les guillemets doivent être mis en échappement avec
des guillemets : `"Texte exemple avec ""guillemets""`.

## Limites de taille
Il existe des limites minimale et maximale pour les données d'apprentissage :

-   Les données d'apprentissage doivent comporter entre 5 et 15000 enregistrements
(lignes).

-   La longueur totale maximale d'une valeur textuelle est de 1024 caractères.

## Langues
La langue par défaut est l'anglais, mais vous pouvez spécifier la langue des données d'apprentissage lorsque vous créez le discriminant. La langue des données d'apprentissage doit correspondre à celle du texte que vous prévoyez de classifier. Pour des détails, voir la [référence d'API ![Icône de lien externe](../../icons/launch-glyph.svg "External link icon")](http://www.ibm.com/watson/developercloud/natural-language-classifier/api/v1/){:new_window}.

Le discriminant prend en charge l'anglais (en), l'arabe (ar), le français (fr),
l'allemand (de), le japonais (ja), l'italien (it), le portugais (Brésil) (pt) et
l'espagnol (es).

## Instruction pour un apprentissage réussi
Les instructions ci-après ne sont pas imposées par l'API. Cependant, le
discriminant est plus performant lorsque les données d'apprentissage les respectent :

- Limitez la longueur du texte d'entrée à moins de 60 mots.
- Limitez le nombre de classes à plusieurs centaines de classes.
Des versions ultérieures du service pourront prendre en charge des nombres de
classes plus élevés.
- Assurez-vous que chaque classe correspond à au moins 5 à 10 enregistrements,
où chaque enregistrement de texte est associé à une classe seulement. Ce nombre permet
un apprentissage suffisant pour la classe.

- Evaluez la nécessité d'utiliser plusieurs classes. Deux raisons fréquentes motivent
l'utilisation de plusieurs classes :

	- Lorsque le texte est vague, l'identification d'une seule classe n'est pas
toujours claire.

	- Lorsque des experts interprètent le texte de différentes façons, plusieurs
classes prennent en charge les interprétations.

	Toutefois, si de nombreux textes dans vos données d'apprentissage incluent
plusieurs classes, ou si certains textes sont associés à plus de trois classes, il
peut être nécessaire d'affiner les classes. Par exemple, déterminez si les classes sont
hiérarchiques. Si tel est le cas, incluez le noeud feuille comme classe.
-  Incluez des termes standard comportant des traits d'union lorsqu'ils font
partie des données d'apprentissage (`qualité-prix` ou
`travail à
mi-temps`).

	Toutefois, n'associez pas de mots adjacents pour créer de nouveaux termes
qui n'existent pas dans la langue des données d'apprentissage. Par exemple, au lieu de
définir `le-petit` ou
`chaperon_rouge`, définissez les expressions
pertinentes à l'aide
de mots distincts (`le petit` et `chaperon rouge`) avec la classe appropriée.

## Construction des données d'apprentissage
L'apprentissage automatique est un processus d'apprentissage de certaines
propriétés à partir d'un ensemble de données, puis d'application des propriétés à de
nouvelles données.
Le service {{site.data.keyword.nlclassifiershort}} applique ce processus. Il
est entraîné pour connecter des classes prédéfinies à des exemples de texte, puis
applique ces classes à de nouvelles entrées.

Par conséquent, les performances du discriminant entraîné dépendent des données
d'apprentissage. Chaque valeur textuelle dans les données doit représenter les sortes
de texte que le discriminant doit prévoir.
Chaque classe dont vous prévoyez le renvoi doit également figurer dans les données
d'apprentissage, et les classes que vous associez à chaque texte doivent être correctes.

Par exemple, lorsque les textes figurant dans vos données d'apprentissage sont des
questions, utilisez des questions classiques représentatives des questions posées par vos utilisateurs.
Vous pouvez collecter ces textes à partir des données utilisateur réelles ou demander à
des spécialistes de votre domaine de créer les textes.

Cette nature représentative et précise des données est importante car elle a un
impact sur tous les processus et les résultats du discriminant.
De plus, plus le nombre d'enregistrements inclus dans les données d'apprentissage est
élevé, plus le discriminant aura une chance de trouver une correspondance.

13 February 2018 Venue Boundary Park Attendance
MATCH PREVIEW: Oldham Athletic vs. MK Dons
Oldham Athletic are back in home action this evening as they host MK Dons (7.45pm kick off).
Latics head into the game with confidence after winning their first league game in 2018 last week and picking up a respectable point on the road on Saturday.
A wonder strike from Cameron Dummigan in the 12th minute and a late header from Aaron Amadi-Holloway sealed a 2-1 win over Bradford City.
On Saturday, Latics travelled to Ewood Park and hung on for a point, despite leading 0-2 at the half time break.
Two goals from Duckens Nazon, his first a superb solo effort, was cancelled out in the second half as Blackburn's Charlie Mulgrew and Adam Armstrong pulled Rovers level.
Wilfried Moimbe received his second booking and his marching orders with 20 minutes of the game but Latics held on for a valuable point.
Athletic still sit in the relegation places but they know a win tonight could potentially take them out of them.
MK Dons come into the game on the back of a 1-2 defeat at home to Portsmouth on Saturday.
Ike Ugbo gave the Dons the lead in the first half but two goals in the final 10 minutes saw them fall to defeat and they are still searching for their first win under new manager Dan Micciche.
In the manager's three games in charge so far this season, he has lost them all, including an FA Cup defeat at home to League Two side Coventry City.
MK Dons currently sit three points behind Latics in the table and a win for Richie Wellens' men would take them further away from their relegation rivals.
They currently sit 22nd in the league and have picked up 30 points from their 30 game so far this season.
Speaking ahead of the game, Wellens said: "I think they will try and play football against us.
"They are renowned for that even when Karl Robinson was there and managers have followed that on.
"It's a big stadium and they want to use that but a new manager has come in to League One football following managing the youth lads at England.
"He will have a different philosophy because League One is totally different to youth football so I will have a look at that."
Sky Bet have listed Athletic as favourites for tonight's game at evens whilst the hosts are 11/4.

Oldham v MK Dons - Extended Highlights
Oldham v MK Dons - Highlights


In the withering temperatures of July, we took a few days to tour the northern shore line of Lakes Michigan and Huron and had such a blast we decided to take a little shorter trip in August not only to enjoy some cooler temperatures, but also to spend a little more time exploring along the way. We decided this would be a good 3 day trip exploring Traverse City, Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Harbor Springs. M-37 north from Grand Rapids through the Manistee National Forest is always a pleasant route to the north country, and one we have taken often. Baldwin is a good place to stop for fuel and lunch. If you're in the mood for an ice cream cone, Miller's is always serving some of the best ice cream anywhere. Everything else you might need is right on the highway which runs through the heart of town. Both Miller's and the local watering hole are biker friendly and across the street from one another. Just look for the bikes parked in front.
Charlevoix is the type of town that begs you to stop and spend a little time for lunch and maybe some leisurely poking around. Snuggled up to Lake Michigan on one side and Lake Charlevoix on the other, this beautiful little town features dozens of relaxing possibilities from its marina and city park to the shops and restaurants, or maybe a stroll along the channel out to Lake Michigan. The draw bridge opens at the top and bottom of the hour from 6 am to 10 pm. Keep this in mind as you approach Charlevoix. An open bridge effectively shuts down US-31 in each direction downtown until boat traffic clears. There is a City Ordinance that prohibits idling while you wait for traffic to move again. We figured we might as well park and stretch our legs for a bit since we wouldn't be moving for 10 or 15 minutes anyway.
Traverse City is a tourist trap or at least that's how I've always thought of it until we got off the highway on this trip and spent some time downtown. There are shops and restaurants, many of which have inside and outside dining beneath one of the many trees lining the streets. An added bonus for checking out TC's downtown area is the M-22 shop. If you love the M-22 experience you'll want to check out this shop for a window decal and some of the other gear they carry.
We rolled right through Petoskey figuring we'd stop on way back later in the day. We were excited to get up to Harbor Springs and ride the fabled 'Tunnel Of Trees' on M-119. That is one of the most beautiful and interesting roads I've ever travelled on 2 wheels. Hilly, curvy, narrow, and so shady we had to stop to remove our sunglasses. Traffic was light (Monday) and the ride was at a leisurely pace all the way to Legs Inn at Cross Village. It was a busy place and although we were looking forward to lunch on the deck overlooking Lake Michigan, we were told there would be at least a 45 minute wait for a table and after a quick walk-through, we were on our way again. The place is definitely worth a stop and we plan on going back someday to have that lunch.
This is a great trip if you have a few days. All Seasons Motel in Bellaire has a couple of different room types. The one we chose was middle of the road. The rate was $75.00 or so per night and we could park a couple of feet from our door.
A burger and beer at Bellaire is good and it's very reasonable. Try the walleye if you get down there. It's great!


Umag is a town in Istria on the Adriatic coast of Croatia.
Umag is a picturesque small Mediterranean town - harbour, the Croatian gate to Europe, the first tourist destination you come across on arrival to the northern part of the Adriatic coast. Umag has excellent road and air connections with all large towns in the world (at only 50 nautical miles from the famous Venice!). It is located in an attractive bay with one of the most prestigious ACI marinas awarded the Blue Flag. Its natural beauties, the history and tradition of the old town of Umag and of the surrounding Istrian area, a warm Mediterranean climate with an abundance of sunshine during most months of the year and high quality hotels, campsites, apartments and bungalows make Umag an ideal vacation place for the whole family. The history of Umag is exceptionally interesting: In ancient times it was discovered by Roman aristocracy who adopted it for their summer residence.The town has preserved parts of the town walls and defence towers, Renaissance and Baroque houses and churches, the most famous among them being the parish church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary and the church of St. Peregrine. Umag is a widely known site of the international ATP tennis tournament, which has been successfully organized since 1990.
The Arena in Pula, the Roman amphitheatre is located in the centre of Pula. It was built in 1st century BC and took its present form in 1st century when it could seat about 20,000 spectators. It served for gladiator fights that took place in it until 5th century.
The Cretaceous Park with fossilized dinosaur footprints, Byzantine castrum and the remains of Roman villas, archaeological and natural-science collection, the exhibition "Josip Broz Tito on Brijuni", the Mausoleum of Kupelwieser family are only some of the sights you should not miss. And while walking along the islands you will be accompanied by numerous tame bird species, deer, mouflons and other big game.
In the town of Poreč, near Umag, there is one of the most beautiful early Byzantine churches in Europe called Euphrasian Basilica after the bishop of Poreč who had this marvellous three-nave church built over the site of an older church. Of special interest are the impressive mosaics over the apse of precious stones and mother-of-pearl.
The walls surrounding the small medieval hilltop town of Motovun present an invaluable cultural and historical heritage of Istria. The very well preserved old town core is surrounded by impressive defence walls.
According to the Guinness Book of Records, with its 23 inhabitants, Hum is the smallest town in the world. It is situated in the central part of Istria and famous for the Alley of the Glagolitic priests – a unique memorial to the old Croatian Glagolitic script.
It is a geo-morphological phenomenon with overgrown canyon cliffs rising up to 150 m above sea level. With its narrow, 11 km long inlet it represents one of the most beautiful landscapes in Istria.
Due to Umag's stormy history the buildings from the Late Antiquity and Early Middle Ages were completely destroyed. The present historical core has inherited the urban structure of the Middle Ages. There are numerous reminders of that era: wall remains, Venetian villas and above all, picturesque narrow streets. The one that is best preserved is also the oldest one – the west tower now housing the Museum of Umag, keeper of a valuable collection of archaeological artefacts found on the site of the town of Umag.
Not far from Umag, on the Rosazzo promontory there is a small, very old Church of St. Peregrine. It was built by the inhabitants of Umag to mark the spot where, during the Diocletian era.
The oldest lighthouse on the Adriatic Coast built in 1818, 36 m high with the light visible from the distance of 32 kilometres. The construction of the lighthouse is connected with a love story of Count Metternich, who although married, fell in love with a local girl and had the lighthouse built to her honour.
Between Savudrija and Umag during low tides a small 200 m long and 50 m wide promontory and a pile of stones rise from the sea: These are the only remains of the ancient Castle of Sipar from the 5th century. The town of Siparis existed here during the Roman era, a proof of this being the foundations of villas and houses, mosaics, marble, ceramic, urns and coins found in this location, all dating from the era of Constantine and Valerius. Sipar was totally plundered and destroyed in 876 by the Neretvian pirates led by the Ban Domagoj and never regained its previous significance.
A real paradise for divers! This luxury villa had its own Roman spa, water cistern, huge dwelling quarters lavishly decorated with mosaics on the floor and frescos on the walls. The remains of a pier measuring 30 metres in length and 6 metres wide are located in the sea near the villa, while the remains of an enormous construction can also be recognized, most likely a pool of another Roman villa.
Hotel Meliá Coral. The first 5 stars hotel in Istria.
Hotel Sol Garden Istra. The sport & family hotel with an impressive water park.
Hotel Sol Aurora - All Inclusive. Impressive natural surroundings and the interior provides the warmest Mediterranean atmosphere.
Hotel Sipar. Waking up with a view of the open sea and to the sound of waves.
Guest house - Komfor Adriatic. An unforgettable view of the whole town of Umag and its surroundings.
Rooms for rent Moj Mir. The place where you can be yourself, sheltered from the rest of the world.
Meliá Istrian Villas. The cape stretching far into the open sea, where the green arches the clearness of the sea and the sun warms the beaches hidden from the rest of the world.
Sol Amfora. Sol Amfora apartments are in the centre of the Stella Maris Resort, a breathtaking seaside destination in Umag.
Polynesia. The resort is bathed in sun and crystal-clear sea, with a long beach at the very promontory.
Savudrija. The tourist resort is located near the oldest lighthouse on the Adriatic Coast from 1818, the history of which hides a tragic love story of Count Metternich of Austria.
Campsite Park Umag. Campsite Park Umag is one of the largest Mediterranean campsites.
Campsite Finida. Peaceful, intimate atmosphere and secluded bays, providing a real experience of nature.
Campsite Stella Maris. Modern campsite for families and individuals who enjoy active holidays and nature.
Campsite Pineta. Protected from everyday noise, in the atmosphere of a picturesque fishermen's village.
Kanegra FKK. This naturist campsite offers natural holiday experience.

Halloween 2016 – Best Horror Franchises
Date: October 31, 2016Author: Shuggie Says 0 Comments
We're going to close out my celebration of Halloween and horror by looking at what I believe are the best horror franchises around.
The Living Dead – I've only really seen the first two entries Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead but it has to be considered here just because how influential it has proven to be. George A. Romero really created the zombie genre as it still is today. Whilst the newer films have failed to perform like the first ones its impossible to ignore just how hugely those shaped the landscape of pop culture. Even one of the biggest TV shows around at the minute, The Walking Dead.
The Evil Dead – I've talked about Sam Raimi's Evil Dead II in my horror comedy segment, but the whole trilogy might be the most perfect horror franchise, as there isn't a single weak film. With plenty of slapstick gore and Bruce Campbell's brilliant performance the Evil Dead films are rightly lorded as some of the best horror comedies ever. Having become a cult classic series they never really found a hug audience, even if they deserved them.
A Nightmare On Elm Street – There has been some weaker entries in the Nightmare On Elm Street series, but when it's good it's really good. The best of these are all directed by Wes Craven. The original Nightmare On Elm Street stands alone as one of the best horror films ever. Craven's return as a writer on third film, Dream Warriors proved to be a far better sequel than the second. And his full return in the 7th film Wes Craven's New Nightmare is a brilliant meta work where Freddy Krueger comes into the real world and kills the cast and crew of the original film. It's this kind of meta filmmaking that then inspired his work on the Scream franchise.
Scream – My personal favourite franchise, and featuring one of my favourite horror movies, Scream. The level of meta commentary on horror films in Wes Craven's franchise is something that really appeals to me, and managed to reinvigorate the slasher genre after people had started to tire of seeing the same things. Whilst I though Ghostface was the least iconic of my favourite horror villains, his anonymity adds a level of mystery that films involving Jason Voorhees or Michael Myers had to force once we found out about their histories. It's a franchise that hasn't gone to outlandish plots (Jason in space…) but instead loves horror films and subverts many of the tropes.
So what are your favourite horror franchises? Are you a fan of Halloween or Friday the 13th, or maybe something more obscure? Let me know in the comments.

the real legacy of the crisis has been an enormous contraction in long-term flows, with a corresponding increase in the United States reliance on short-term financing….It may not be financial deglobalization, but it certainly is a major slowdown in financial globalization.
but offset by a sharp fall in US demand for global equities. Part of this is attributed to a reversion from the short-term strategy of central bank and sovereign wealth purchases of US equities in response to pressures on these institutions to increase returns on dollar reserves when the dollar was falling.
Americans have been net sellers of the rest of the world's stocks over the last 12 months.

Q: Shortcut syntax to Class constructor from TypeScript interface If I have a TypeScript interface like below:
interface myInterface {
    prop1: string;
    prop2: string;
    prop3: number;
    prop4: boolean;
    ..
    ..
    ..
    prop30: string
}

I want to create a Class that implements myInterface and I only know the verbose way to do so like below:
class MyClass implements myInterface {
    prop1;
    prop2;
    prop3;
    prop4;
    ..
    ..
    prop30;

    constructor(data: myInterface) {
        this.prop1 = data.prop1;
        this.prop2 = data.prop2;
        this.prop3 = data.prop3;
        this.prop4 = data.prop4;
        ..
        ..
        this.prop30 = data.prop30;
    }
}

Is there any way I can make this syntax shorter or any better way to implement such Class from interface?

A: You can use Object.assign() to copy all the members of the data parameter to this at once, but TypeScript still requires you to declare the fields individually:
class MyClass implements MyInterface {
    prop1!: string;
    prop2!: string;
    prop3!: number;
    prop4!: boolean;
    /* ..
    ..
    ..*/
    prop30!: string;
    constructor(data: MyInterface) {
        Object.assign(this, data);
    }
}

so this is better, but not great.
(Also note that the compiler cannot verify that the properties are assigned, so you need to use the definite assignment assertion operator (!) in your field declarations to suppress warnings.)

You can save yourself this trouble if you are okay defining a class factory function and using it to produce a superclass.  Here's the function:
function AssignCtor<T extends object>() {
    return class {
        constructor(t: T) {
            Object.assign(this, t)
        }
    } as { new(t: T): T }
}

The return value of AssignCtor<T> is asserted a type with a construct signature that accepts a value of type T and produces a class instance also of type T.  This is what you want to do with MyInterface, so let's try it:
class MyClass extends AssignCtor<MyInterface>() implements MyInterface {

}

That's it.  Let's make sure that MyClass behaves the way you expect:
function tryItOut(data: MyInterface) {
    const myClass = new MyClass(data);
    myClass.prop1.toUpperCase(); // okay
}

Looks good.  The value myClass is seen to have the properties of MyInterface.

Cybersecurity In-Depth
Military Vets Share Lessons That Helped Them Build Infosec Startups
Startup founders say serving in the military taught them how to defend against cyberattacks and how to build teams. These lessons are serving them well as they run their own companies.

It's always interesting to hear how security practitioners got their start and the many lessons they apply from their experiences outside the world of infosec. Some began their careers at a help desk; others began with the basics of network architecture. Quite a few started in the military.
J.J. Guy, co-founder and CEO of Sevco Security, was assigned to the Air Force red team as part of what was known as the Air Force Information Warfare Center when he joined active service. His position gave him an opportunity to explore the offensive and defensive sides of security.
"The Air Force was unique in that from an IT side, we were not only the red team but also the blue team," he says. "One week I would go break into an Air Force network, then the next week I would sit down with defenders as part of the blue team to try to figure out, institutionally, how do I keep that from happening."
At the time, he says, the Air Force had some 450,000 devices connected to the network across 132 separate enclaves.
"It was a major enterprise and all of the complexity that comes with that," Guy adds.
As a part of this team, he learned what the industry now calls "inevitability of compromise": Targeted attacks, now known as advanced persistent threats, occurred regularly.
"The Chinese were breaking into our networks every day, and we were playing a game of whack-a-mole trying to keep them out," he notes.
Years later, private-sector defenders would begin to worry about fighting similar problems. Guy's military experience gave him an "in-depth crash course" in defending against targeted attackers — years ahead of enterprise security teams.
Guy recognized the value of red team skills and experience and felt compelled to continue and broaden his mission to whole computer network operations. He was in the military as an active-duty member or contractor from 2000 through 2011, then left the federal sector to join Carbon Black — pulling its team together in November 2012, he says. A few years later, including another role as CTO at Jask, Guy founded Sevco Security.
Many of his military lessons translated to his enterprise roles, he says. A primary one is the inevitability of compromise that businesses now face.
"You cannot stop a targeted attacker from gaining access to your network if they want," Guy adds. "If you or your organization hasn't been compromised, it isn't because you're doing great work. It's because it hasn't been worth someone's time to do so."
Another lesson centers around accountability culture and the sense of personal responsibility. In the military, Guy says, he was in many operational situations that were time-critical and human lives were on the line. This brought an edge of "get it done, make it go, make it work" to achieving an objective. In a tiny startup, while not a life-and-death situation, there is a sense of personal accountability when a team of 10 to 20 people is building something from scratch.
"We absolutely, 100% count on the contributions of every single person around the table," he says.
Aim for Best Based on What You Know, Not Perfection
The importance of putting the right team around you is something Andrew Maloney, co-founder and COO of Query.AI, learned during his time as a systems admin and security engineer with the Air Force. He spoke of the bond formed with his team in basic training and technical school.
"Trust and camaraderie you build; that goes a long way toward working to a common goal together," Maloney says. "This is the foundation of any startup — nobody has all the answers out the gate. It's a roller coaster every day."
Maloney learned computer basics stationed at Andrews Air Force base after tech school. He started on the help desk, where he learned about networking and administration, and later got into security when deployed in Oman just after the start of the Iraq war. In his role monitoring base communications, he did remote firewall management and monitored Web proxies.
The knowledge he gained on the help desk set the stage for his security career, Maloney says.
"The thing I like the most about the old method for this is that security is not a single expertise in one thing," he explains. "To be effective in security you really need to understand how all of these components fit together … starting on the help desk and moving forward. While it's a longer path, it ensures you have foundational knowledge through all of those collective areas."
When Maloney interviewed with Lockheed Martin for a job in the East SOC, he wasn't asked any theoretical questions, he says. It was all about practical experience: how to configure a Cisco router, which ports and protocols these technologies use — all things he learned in his military years. He later left to go work for the Missile Defense Agency, then went into the private sector.
Maloney founded Query.AI to aid companies in centralized data access and insights. One of the military lessons he continues to use as a startup leader is attention to detail. "Done is better than perfect" is a commonly used adage in the startup community — the idea being that if one strives for perfection, they'll never reach an end state. But Maloney says the details do matter.
"I do think if you're looking at details and always trying to do the best thing you can do with that time, while perfection might be out of reach, you'll be a whole lot better than average or good," he says.
He also points to the importance of facing challenges without the advantage of extensive training or preparation. In the military, "very seldom is there an option to have all the answers," Maloney says. "You're always going, to some extent, off gut and the best information available. While you want perfection, you don't have the privilege of decisiveness and delayed action."
Transparency in Leadership Matters
Tom Pace, co-founder and CEO of NetRise, knew he wanted to work in cybersecurity from a young age, but he didn't land in his defensive career until serving as an intelligence specialist with the Marine Corps. In between deployments he took technical and criminology classes, self-taught on different topics, and entered a computer science program after he left the military.
After working in incident response and cybersecurity engineering at PNC, industrial control system security for the Department of Energy, and IR consulting at Cylance, Pace went on to found NetRise after identifying a broad need for identifying and determining the impact of vulnerabilities and risks of connected devices not only in ICS environments, but in several key industries, such as automotive, manufacturing, satellites, and other categories of IoT devices.
"It got me a lot more exposure to the breadth of the problem and made me realize it's not relegated to industrial control systems," he says of working in different environments. "It became wildly obvious that manufacturers, end users, and many other personas understand this problem exists and care that it's a problem, but they're unaware of any solutions that can address it for them."
Being direct and transparent is something Pace has carried over from military life into startup leadership. "That's generally the mentality of the military," he says. "There's not a whole lot of room for, 'I wonder what he actually meant.' That doesn't exist a whole lot."
Giving people a reason for why you're doing something, even if it doesn't seem necessary, is also important, he adds.
Another lesson learned: "Don't ask other people to do things that you wouldn't be willing to do," he says. "That's super important, especially at a startup." As the leader, he says, it's his job to take on the less-than-exciting duties and make sure they get done.
Expanding Opportunities for Vets
For many military personnel, especially those who didn't start a career or education before they entered military service, the question of how to transition into a career is tough. Several organizations in recent years have begun to offer resources and training programs to help with the transition into cybersecurity roles.
The Federal Virtual Training Environment (FedVTE) provides free online cybersecurity training to federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial government employees, federal contractors, and US military veterans. The Department of Homeland Security offers a user guide, "Cybersecurity Training and Education for Veterans," to help those who are interested create a career plan.
Private sector companies are also jumping in. Microsoft Software and Systems Academy (MSSA) was created to provide transitioning service members and veterans with career skills needed in the modern tech industry. Graduates have a chance to interview for a full-time job with Microsoft or one of the company's hiring partners. The Commonwealth of Virginia has partnered with businesses such as Cisco and AWS to sponsor security training and certifications for veterans.
At Synack, the Veterans Cyber Program aims to recruit qualified veterans and give them the tools they'll need to join Synack's Red Team. Interested veterans might also check out CyberVetsUSA, which offers free online training, certification, and employment opportunities to transitioning service members, veterans, National Guard and Reservists, and military spouses who want to enter the cybersecurity workforce.
Many colleges and universities across the country, among them Drexel University, University of Nebraska at Omaha, and Syracuse University, also offer specialized programs for veterans and military personnel who want to enter the field.
EdgeCareers & People


The aim of the research project entitled "Management of the Greenhouse Effect at the Local and Regional Authority Level: An Analysis Based on Regional Policy" (under the Ministry of Agriculture and Sustainable Development GICC programme) is to observe the way in which climate change is incorporated into local and regional public policy. The main question is to find out in what ways local and regional authorities can participate effectively in reducing global impacts.
The research relates essentially to the regional level and aims to identify and understand the obstacles to and catalysts for integrating climate change into regional policy: what conditions determine whether concerns relating to climate change make it onto the regional scene and how are they incorporated into local and regional authority policy? How are local and regional climate policies formulated and on what elements are they based? Who are the players and what action do they take?

Trying to load pictures from my photo roll on my iPad Pro 11". I'm on version 2.4.4.
Open Pixelmator and create a new document by clicking the + in the upper left corner. Select Photos.
If you want to import a photo from your camera roll into an existing document open the document and click the + in the upper right hand corner. Select Camera Roll.
I have tried to create a new document by opening a photo from "Photos" and by taking a new photo while inside Pixelmator. Every time, I get the error message "Unable to Open Image - an error occurred while opening the image". I am using Pixelmator version 2.4.4., on an iPad Pro 11" running iOS 12.1.4.
I have given Pixelmator access to my photos and my camera. I have tried to reinstall Pixelmator, which hasn't resolved the issue.
I do not have any problems with Pixelmator on my iPhone XS Max.
Hey there, could you email us about this at support@pixelmator.com? Thanks in advance!
