Around 10%-12% of the population is left-handed. That includes celebrities, of course: actors, musicians, sports stars, tech experts, and more. And while the world may be designed for right-handed people, the left-handed people in this article certainly are overachievers.
Polls show that life is genuinely harder for left-handed people, but you wouldn't know it from these folks. Keep reading to learn about all the famous lefties.

Prince William, newly dubbed Prince of Wales, is left-handed. This works out nicely for the British royal family; he and Princess Kate can both wave to well-wishers with their dominant hands.
Here they are waving to crowds in Jamaica in March 2022 as they took part in a tour to mark the queen's Platinum Jubilee.

While the characters that made him famous in "Speed" and "The Matrix" trilogy were right-handed, Keanu Reeves is a lefty.
Here, he signs the hood of an Acura at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, proving that he picks up a pen with a hand different from the one he uses to shoot a gun on-screen.

When Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin, Jr. walked on the surface of the moon during the Apollo 11 lunar mission in 1969, it was one small step for man... one giant leap for lefties.
Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, was right-handed.

Billionaire media icon Oprah Winfrey is also a member of the southpaw club.
WIth a fortune of $2.5 billion according to Forbes, she is the richest Black woman and the richest left-handed woman in the world.
Historically, there has been a bit of stigma around left-handedness. For years, people believed the trait to be a sign of brain damage, disease or evil. In fact, the word for "left" in Latin derives from the same root as the word for "sinister."
Don't try to pick that argument with lefty actress Julia Roberts, though.
LeBron James dominates basketball mainly with his right hand.
But he is actually left-handed. Former basketball star Larry Bird is as well.
Ned Flanders
Ned Flanders, the Simpsons' next door neighbor, is so rah-rah about being left-handed that he quit his job and invested his life savings in "The Leftorium," a store in the Springfield Mall that specializes in products for lefties.
And Flanders isn't alone. Numerous characters on "The Simpsons" are shown writing with or favoring their left hands, including Bart Simpson, Marge Simpson, Mr. Burns, Seymour Skinner, Moe Szyslak, Martin Prince and Dolph Starbeam. All that lefty love may be due to the fact that Simpsons creator Matt Groening is left-handed himself.

When pop star Lady Gaga sings about being "Born This Way," she could very well be talking about being left-handed.
She's just another in a long list of lefties who suggested that perhaps creativity comes from the brain, heart, soul... or left hand.
Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
A seemingly disproportionate number of world leaders, artists and icons are left-handed. Take, for example, U.S. presidents.
Former President Barack Obama is far from alone. In fact, five of the United States' last nine presidents favored the less-favored hand: Presidents Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Reagan and Ford.
Presidents George W. Bush, Trump, and Biden are right-handed.
Nicole Kidman is another lefty, and one of the relatively rare female lefties among celebrities on this list.
When she portrayed Virginia Woolf in "The Hours," she learned to write with her right hand to emulate the author.
Brad Barket/Getty Images for Comedy Central
When Jon Stewart jotted down all those "Daily Show" jokes for 16 years, he did it with his left hand.
Successor Trevor Noah is right-handed.
Baseball has seen its fair share of southpaw superstars, but its most famous left-handed slugger is, without question, the Sultan of Swat. Babe Ruth started as a left-handed pitcher, then moved onto being a left-handed batter.
He would occasionally bat with his right hand to change things up.
The character of Link from the popular game "Legend of Zelda" is most often pictured wielding a sword with his left hand.
Creator Shigeru Miyamoto is ambidextrous himself, but likes to create characters who are lefties.
Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for American Cinematheque
The "Black Widow" actress signs autographs with her left hand.
Her she is onstage during the American Cinematheque Awards in 2021 in Beverly Hills, California.
Vittorio Zunino Celotto/Getty Images
Musical star and former Wolverine Hugh Jackman is a southpaw.
But he is often seen doing things on-screen with his right hand, usually to emulate his characters more effectively.

Rapper/singer Cardi B likes talking about her left-handedness.
When she was pregnant in 2019, she said she hoped that her baby would be left-handed like her.
Jennifer Lawrence is left-handed, but as this picture indicates, her character Katniss Everdeen from "The Hunger Games" adaptation is not.
An upcoming prequel to "The Hunger Games," called "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," is currently in the works.

Bill Gates is a lefty, and so was his late rival and friend, Steve Jobs.
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images For Paramount
When Hollywood beauty Angelina Jolie signs autographs for fans, the "Maleficent" star does it with her left hand.
Her ex-husband Brad Pitt is often included on other celebrity lefty lists, but he's actually ambidextrous.
Renowned singer and actress Judy Garland was left-handed.
But when she performed, she always held the microphone in her right hand.
Will Ferrell is part of a long list of left-handed comedians.
Perhaps that's why his "Zoolander" character, Mugatu, holds his evil dog in his left hand.
Jo Hale / Getty Images
Late musician David Bowie was left-handed.
However, he taught himself guitar with his right hand. Why? Because, so the story goes, there weren't any left-handed guitars in the shop when he bought one.
Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images
Actor Morgan Freeman was born left-handed. But he suffered a terrible car crash in 2008, and his left hand was paralyzed.
He now relies on his right hand, but he can still claim southpaw status.
Joe Scarnici/Getty Images
Comedian and actor Seth Rogen has a lot to laugh about, perhaps most of all, left-handed superiority.
He hasn't spoken about being a lefty, but he has been seen signing autographs with his left hand.
Sandy Koufax of the Brooklyn Dodgers was probably the greatest left-handed pitcher of all time.
He pitched from 1955 to 1966 and isn't just known as one of the greatest left-handed pitchers, but as one of the greatest pitchers ever.
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Rounding out the group of tech geniuses who changed the world with their left hands, Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is a southpaw.
No word on if TikTok creator Zhang Yiming is a lefty or a righty.
Kevin Winter/Getty Images
"Saturday Night Live" alum Tina Fey is left-handed as well.
Her character in movies and TV shows are also always seen as left-handed.
Gerry Penny/AFP/Getty Images
British Chef Gordon Ramsey is a lefty.
Most chefs, however, require a level of ambidexterity to get kitchen tasks done as quickly as possible.
Gareth Cattermole / Getty Images
Actress Kate Hudson, seen here, is a southpaw.
And, did you know left-handedness is genetic? We mention this, because...
Alberto E. Rodriguez / Getty Images
...Kate Hudson's mother, actress Goldie Hawn, is left-handed as well.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Mark Wilson/Getty Images
In his book "Right-Hand, Left-Hand," University College London psychologist Chris McManus states that lefties have made up a disproportionately larger number of high achievers throughout history.
Case in point: the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who served on the nation's highest court for years.
Amy Sussman/Getty Images
Ben Stiller has been a writer, a director, comedian, producer, actor and more, known for "Zoolander" and "Meet the Parents."
He's also a lefty.
Sebastian Reuter/Getty Images
Emma Thompson is seen gesturing here with her left hand at the "Good Luck to You, Leo Grande" press conference in 2022.
The British southpaw is one of her country's beloved actresses.
Jerry Seinfeld & Jason Alexander
Michael Buckner/Getty Images for Baby Buggy
"Seinfeld" funny men Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld are both left handed.
So are fellow comic talents Trey Parker, Jason Sudeikis and Tim Allen.
Adam Levine, lead singer of Maroon 5, considers himself ambidextrous rather than left-handed.
That's because he writes left-handed, but plays guitar right-handed. We're still counting it.
Actress Sarah Jessica Parker of "Sex and the City" fame favors her left hand.
Sarah Jessica Parker's husband, fellow actor Matthew Broderick, is also left-handed.
That means their three children have a far greater chance of being left-handed themselves.
Mike Ehrmann / Getty Images
Quarterback Michael Vick resumed his NFL career after spending time in prison for involvement in a dog fighting ring. He never really quite hit his stride again and officially retired in 2017.
However, he was rare among quarterbacks in the fact that he was a lefty. Most quarterbacks are right-handed.
Ethan Miller/Getty Images for ABC
There may be "One Less Lonely Girl" because of Justin Bieber, but there's also one more lonely right-handed baseball mitt.
The Biebs is a lefty. Just look at the hand with which the Canadian pop star accepts awards.
Billy Ray Cyrus
JASON KEMPIN / Getty Images
Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, a natural lefty, tried to learn guitar right-handed because that's what he saw everyone else doing. However, he struggled with it.
He picked up a left-handed guitar one day, and the rest was history.
Theo Wargo/Getty Images
The Real Slim Shady may be underhanded, but Marshall Mathers is left-handed.
In his song "Phenomenal" he even rapped about it: "I write with the left, same hand I hold the mic with/as I fight to the death, 'til my last breath."
Lawrence K. Ho/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images
If Sandy Koufax is the greatest left-handed pitcher ever, then Randy Johnson, who played primarily for the Seattle Mariners and the Arizona Diamondbacks, may be No. 2.
He famously struck a bird while pitching in 2001, resulting in what the announcer called a "sea of feathers."
Vince Bucci/Getty Images
Left-handedness is more likely to occur in twins. While 17% of twins are left-handed, in the general population only about 10% to 12% of people are lefties.
Identical twins are more likely to favor the same hand, but Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen are actually fraternal twins; Mary-Kate is left-handed while Ashley is right-handed.
In one of the film versions of "Hellboy," the title character brandishes a gun with his left hand.
Perhaps that's because the actor playing that character, Ron Perlman, is left-handed in real life.
Actor Mark Wahlberg is a lefty.
Since he's from south Boston, is he a southie southpaw?
There are a number of things that make Caitlyn Jenner unique. She holds a gold medal in the Olympic decathlon. She embarked on arguably the most public transition in history.
And, last but not least, she's a lefty.
Andrew H. Walker
Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins is yet another musician who is left-handed but who taught himself to play guitar right-handed.
That didn't stop him from selling "The Reverend Billy Corgan"-brand left-handed guitars, however.
Mitchell Leff / Getty Images
Tim Tebow soared to success as a left-handed quarterback for the University of Florida Gators.
He didn't manage to make that success work to his advantage in the NFL, but he's still an occasional broadcaster for ESPN.
Former "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno in't just a successful comedian, he's also a southpaw.
His long-time network TV rival David Letterman? Right-handed.
Jim Dyson/Getty Images
When Sir Paul McCartney took up the bass guitar as a kid, he found it difficult to play right-handed, despite being right-handed himself. So, he reversed the strings and the rest is history. He now plays a left-handed bass.
He may not be a true lefty, but the fact that he famously plays every instrument left-handed — guitar, bass, ukulele, mandolin, and more — means he deserves at least an honorary spot on this list.

Q: ServiceConfigException When Api Management is Added I started to get error, ServiceConfigException, after I've tried to add Api Management to my project just as explained here.
Commenting out ServiceManagementConfigFilter lines from web.xml lines as told here solves my problem but leaves my project without API support.
I'd love to get some help. Thanks in advance.

A: Removing the ENDPOINTS_SERVICE_VERSION from appengine-web.xml magically solved the problem. Though I don't know how it is related.
Edit:
Commenting out these lines solves the problem but disables api key support.
<filter>
  <filter-name>endpoints-api-configuration</filter-name>
  <filter-class>com.google.api.control.ServiceManagementConfigFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>endpoints-api-configuration</filter-name>
    <servlet-name>EndpointsServlet</servlet-name>
</filter-mapping>

Edit:
Let's add a little bit of depth why the problem occurred.
When openapi.json file deployed by using gcloud endpoints services deploy openapi.json command, it echoes a service configuration id like 2017-02-13r0. You should be using that in appengine-web.xml as the value of environment variable ENDPOINTS_SERVICE_VERSION.
Since, copying and pushing the new service name is found fairly clunky flow (and it really was), on the later stages of cloudendpoints, they changed it to, if not specified any, the latest version of ENDPOINTS_SERVICE_VERSION will be used.

Although it may be a little late to market with the Subaru XV, the manufacturer has been making crossovers since before they were fashionable. Its original, the Legacy Outback, came along in 1995 and proved to be a big commercial success for the company.
Now in its fourth generation, the Legacy has 220mm of ground clearance, exactly the same as the XV's. The Impreza-based Forester, launched in 1997, is a closer relation of the XV, although its estate-only body style gives it more of a utilitarian flavour.
And so the Subaru XV is a crossover for people who don't like crossovers. Although Subaru's UK distributor, IM Group, would be delighted to replicate the market success of Nissan's niche-defining Qashqai.
The XV, however, is a car that's almost the mirror image of the Nissan: a proper compact off-roader with full-time four-wheel drive and some serious ground clearance, but one that looks like a fairly ordinary hatchback from the wheel arches up. The next generation XV doesn't lose these rugged charms thankfully, but does include Subaru's Global Platform, which has been developed to improve ride, handling, steering and refinement, revised powertrains and the inclusion of a hybrid variant.
It's remarkable that it has taken so long for a manufacturer so heavily invested in all-wheel drive to come up with a car like the XV when bigger and less outdoorsy brands considered it a no-brainer in the early part of the previous decade.
But does the idea of an extra-rugged, all-paw hatchback on stilts make sense in the real world? Is the Subaru XV a vehicle concept with enough mass-market appeal?
Or is this another of the bit-part players that we've grown used to from the Japanese brand over the years?
Rugged Subaru XV enhances its appeal with new safety features and a smarter cabin design, but does it make it more appealing to buy?
Subaru has updated its Qashqai rival, but do the tweaks make it any more credible as a competitor to Nissan's class-leading success?


Simple yet striking, this women's gym sack plays up the contrast of black and beige with standout graphics. Designed in collaboration with Brazil's The FARM Company, the bag shows off an intricate lace pattern of lush flowers. Made of soft, shiny tricot, it has drawcords that serve as carry straps.

Greater training includes teaching, analysis, exacting applied work (e.g. in medical schools and dental schools ), and social services activities of universities. Rich families in Malaysia can afford their youngsters to complete their greater training both regionally or overseas nonetheless the general value it takes. Convey increased education associations and legislators collectively to broaden current definition of scholar outcomes and achievement, and develop a plan for assessment. To develop academicians of upper educational establishments who possess high scholastic skills to excel of their respective specialised fields of specialisation.
Though elite schools get the media attention, the majority of individuals in higher ed at the moment are working-class folks, as students and as lecturers," stated contingent faculty activist Joe Berry. While the education system is one thing that keeps changing and evolving throughout the world, in India, it apparently would not move anywhere. Higher info will help students select the place they are more likely to study, graduate, and discover jobs. A substantial amount of importance is given to the skilled growth of the staffs in the higher training system. The Justice and Education departments concern a harmful new speech code for schools.
The President has proposed incentives for states to keep up their commitments to increased training by way of a brand new $1 billion funding. To supply ample higher schooling infrastructures compatible to the perfect practices which can be used internationally. In addition, varieties of higher schooling establishment are established and a range of programs are being carried out (Ministry of Training, 2014). As an alternative of specializing in the social side, or lack thereof, contemplate this as a possibility to carry out extra efficiently at sure facets of your life or work.
I consider social justice, ethics, instructional fairness, and societal change for optimistic effects are basic to the work of upper schooling. President Obama established the American Alternative Tax Credit in 2009 to help households with the prices of college, providing as much as $10,000 for 4 years of school tuition for families incomes up to $180,000. Many of the authorities require payback scholar have accomplished their greater training. This program focuses on the main areas that are important for the staffs to enhance the educating and studying programs.
In addition, different means of help (scholarships, half time finding out alternatives, small workshops, alternatives to attend worldwide conferences) are provided to improve workers's capabilities inside the field. Following the rising demand for higher training, will probably be ridiculous if most of the people is not enlightened on the cost and main financing choices involved with increased schooling.

Does not provide a kit or slot where you can store the bit that you are not using. As such you can easily lose it.
To help you choose the best power screwdriver, here are some factors to consider.
The power of a driver dictates the type of tasks it can handle. So for lighter tasks you should consider buying one that is neither too low or high powered and for heavy-duty jobs, consider higher powered units.
A good screwdriver should be comfortable enough to allow jobs to be performed more competently. This is because drivers that don't fit a user's hand properly can be painful to use over the course of a couple of hours.
Cordless drivers are very convenient but more expensive while corded are less convenient but reliable and will not lag or falter like cordless drivers with a low battery.
The most efficient and earth-friendly battery type is Lithium Ion but nickel-metal-hydride batteries are also good.
3/8" drivers are best for having around the house, 1/2" drivers have more torque but are a little bit slower while 1/4" drivers are perfect for very light duty tasks.
When it comes to screwdrivers, we like power as much as the next guy. However, the bigger and better the tool, the heavier and pricier it is. One thing we noticed about our top 10 list of tools is that most of them use lithium-ion batteries, which is ideal for compactness. We also liked the fact that most of these tools are able to combine lighter weight with longer run time which is perfect for all homeowner needs.
SpeedHex FlipOut Cordless Screwdriver would be a good pick if you are looking for more flexibility especially when dealing with small spaces and tight corners. Its design is however not the best and that, therefore, lowers its ranking.
Black & Decker Power Screwdriver (BDCS30C) and Black & Decker Cordless Drill/Driver (LDX120C) and Black & Decker SmartSelect Screwdriver (LI4000) lose out because they are single-speed machines hence quite rigid to use. While Black & Decker Alkaline Screwdriver (AS6NG) falters because of lack of a kit to store the additional bit.
Black & Decker 3-Position Rechargeable Screwdriver (LI2000) falls short of expectations because it only has one clutch setting. A weak battery denies Black & Decker Cordless Screwdriver (PD600) a chance to scoop the top position.
General Tools 500 Cordless Power Precision Screwdriver amasses some more points than the rest due to its precision and effectiveness, especially with electronics. However, it loses some marks due to a short warranty period.
Dewalt Gyroscopic Screw Driver, on the other hand, is quite sophisticated and strong but on the downside, it is pricey and slightly heavier than the rest. Nonetheless, it stands out as the most advanced and reliable of them all taking the coveted #1 position.
Verdict: Dewalt Gyroscopic Power Screwdriver takes top position followed by General Tools 500 Cordless Power Precision Screwdriver and Black & Decker Cordless Screwdriver (PD600) in that order.

The combination of trastuzumab and lapatinib resulted in a 70% clinical benefit with an overall objective response rate (ORR) of 30% in patients who had received an average of five previous treatments.
The team has enrolled 10 patients in cohort B, so far, which pairs pertuzumab and T-DM1. Of the eight patients who received pertuzumab plus T-DM1 and are evaluable for response, seven had a clinical benefit (with tumor shrinkage); of those, two have already met the RECIST objective response criteria.
A combination of two HER2-targeted therapies, trastuzumab (Herceptin) and lapatinib (Tykerb), showed clinical benefit in patients with heavily pretreated HER2-positive metastatic colorectal cancer, according to final results from the phase II HERACLES clinical trial, presented by Siena et al at the 2017 American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting (Abstract CT005).
"Amplification and mutations in the gene HER2 are found in 6% to 8% of RAS/RAF wild-type colorectal cancers," said Salvatore Siena, MD, Professor of Medical Oncology at Università degli Studi di Milano, and Director of Niguarda Cancer Center at Grande Ospedale Metropolitano Niguarda in Milan, Italy. RAS/RAF wild-type colorectal cancers account for about 60% of colorectal cancers.
Extensive preclinical studies conducted by Livio Trusolino, MD, at Candiolo Cancer Institute and University of Turin, and by Dr. Siena and their teams in the past had demonstrated that shutting down the HER family of proteins through multiple mechanisms is necessary for effectiveness against HER2-positive colorectal cancer.
On the basis of these preclinical studies, Siena and colleagues initiated the HERACLES clinical trial with two cohorts of patients with heavily pretreated metastatic colorectal cancer.
In cohort A (L+T), patients received a combination of trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets HER2, and lapatinib, a HER1/HER2 tyrosine kinase inhibitor. In cohort B (P+T-DM1), patients received a combination of pertuzumab (Perjeta), another monoclonal antibody that targets HER2, and ado-trastuzumab emtansine (also known as T-DM1; Kadcyla), an antibody-drug conjugate that pairs trastuzumab with the cytotoxic drug emtansine.
"Final results from cohort A showed that the L+T combination resulted in a 70% clinical benefit with an overall objective response rate (ORR) of 30%. These are very positive results, bearing in mind that these patients had received an average of five previous treatments," Dr. Siena said. ORR was 50% in patients with tumors with highly amplified HER2, he noted.
Interim results from this portion of the clinical trial were published last year by Sartore-Bianchi et al in The Lancet Oncology.
All patients in this trial had RAS wild-type tumors that were HER2-positive and refractory to standard of care treatments, including the EGFR inhibitors cetuximab (Erbitux) or panitumumab (Vectibix). At data cutoff (February 28, 2017), 10 of the 33 patients in cohort A achieved an objective response, which included 2 complete responses and 8 partial responses; 13 had stable disease. Six patients experienced grade 3 adverse events.
The two patients who had a complete response continue to be disease-free for 1 and almost 4 years, respectively, since treatment initiation, according to Dr. Siena. "Both had tumors refractory to cetuximab and had become resistant to all standard chemotherapies. This means that HER2-targeted therapy can be a potential stand-alone, low-toxicity treatment approach for this patient population," he added.
"It is also clear from our results that HER2 amplification is both a positive predictor of response to anti-HER2 treatment and a negative predictor of response to anti-EGFR therapy," Dr. Siena said.
Historically, the response rate for metastatic colorectal cancer patients after second-line treatment is less than 5% with chemotherapy, and about 10% in unselected patients to 20% in RAS/RAF wild-type patients with anti-EGFR therapy, Dr. Siena noted.
The team has enrolled 10 patients in cohort B, so far. Of the eight patients who received P+T- DM1 and are evaluable for response, seven had a clinical benefit (with tumor shrinkage); of those, two have already met the RECIST objective response criteria, Dr. Siena said.
A limitation to the study is that the HER2-targeted therapy combinations were tested only against colorectal cancer tumors with HER2 amplifications but not against those with HER2 mutations, Dr. Siena noted.

MANAGER: We need to see you again
Keith Curle on hard work and unity
Manager Keith Curle spoke about the reasons behind the success the squad is currently as preparations start for another tough home game against Crawley Town at the weekend.
"We're enjoying what we're doing and that's important," he said. "It's all down to hard work because it isn't just about rolling up and getting results.
"We're all working hard and we're feeling pleased because it hasn't just happened for us overnight. There's no fear. We don't go out worrying about losing games, we go out to perform.
"As boring as it gets to hear me say this, our focus will only ever be on the next game and the players have bought into that. They're getting their heads down and they're giving us performances.
"It isn't always about free-flowing football and dominating for 90 minutes. That just doesn't happen. We're adapting our performances as necessary, and to suit the opposition we face, and it's working for us.
"My job is to make sure people want to watch what's happening on the pitch. The more people are talking about us the more it means we're doing the right things. Long may that continue."
Looking ahead to the weekend, he said: "It's another game where we are up against a side who are comfortable with how they want to play. We'll all need to work hard to get something, and I include the fans in that.
"The people who turned up for the Hartlepool game - we need to see you again. It's another massive game for us and everyone who enjoyed last week should know there is more to come.
"If we can get people to keep coming back into the stadium and enjoying what we're trying to build then hopefully they'll all feel part of it. That's when we'll have the unity and strength we've been talking about."

Welcome to the 2018 Galveston Bay Report Card!
This year, the Houston-Galveston region faced challenges new and old. Hurricane Harvey inundated the region with record-setting rainfall, but even 35+ inches of rain was only part of the story in 2017.
Blue crab populations continue to decline, this year receiving an F. Abandoned crab traps, low recruitment (the number of crabs that survive as juveniles and enter the fishery as adults), and habitat loss may all play a role in the decline of this ecologically and commercially valuable species.
The rivers and bayous maintained a grade of B for phosphorus, however several sub-watersheds of Galveston Bay saw a decline in their phosphorus grades (Barker Reservoir, Addicks Reservoir, Spring Creek, Buffalo Bayou, Cedar Bayou, West Fork Jan Jacinto), most likely due to non-point source pollution. One sub-watershed, Sims Bayou, improved their grade. Phosphorus is especially troublesome in fresh water systems and can lead to algae blooms, nuisance species and other water quality issues.
We continue to wait for updated data on vital habitats; wetlands, seagrass and oyster reefs (all earned the grade of a "I"). Wetlands provide important benefits by absorbing and slowing the release of flood waters and improving water quality. The latest federal information that we have on wetland coverage in the region is dated from 2010, this is particularly problematic after an event like Hurricane Harvey. The role that our freshwater wetlands play in floodwater infiltration and retention is very important and it is critical that we have updated data describing this important natural resource. Oysters of course support an important commercial fishery by providing us with seafood. Oyster reefs also provide important habitat for other fish and wildlife, as do seagrasses. We know that there are plans at the state level to update these datasets when funding and time allows, and we continue to support the efforts of NOAA, TCEQ and TPWD to complete these necessary assessments of essential habitats.
The good news is that the grade for Pollution Events & Sources has continued to show incremental improvement. Again, legacy pollutants such as PCBs, dioxins, and DDT; metals such as mercury and hydrocarbons such as pyrene associated with ongoing human activities can be found in the sediments around the Houston Ship Channel. These pollutants can find their way into the Bay food web and even some of the seafood that we eat from these areas. We do continue to see some incomplete grades because of the lack of data describing toxins in sediments throughout bay in areas apart from the Houston Ship Channel. However, data that do exist tell us that concentrations of toxins in sediment outside of the Houston Ship Channel are generally low.
On average, more than 230 oil spills are reported every year in Galveston Bay. Most spills are small—less than five gallons—while some are large. The total number of spills has declined since 2003 and was upgraded to a B this year. The low volume spilled in 2017 lead to an improved grade of A.
Waterway trash and litter continue to represent an issue that requires additional data. It is estimated trash in our region's bayous and the Bay is a $21 million per year problem, but we lack the information about types of trash, sources and how trash moves through our waterways. We need this information to determine effective and targeted litter prevention and removal solutions. The good news is, a network of public and nonprofit organizations is now actively working on this issue. Both HARC and GBF are working towards a Houston-Galveston Trash Based Aquatic Action Plan: donttrashagoodthing.org.
Coastal change continues to be an issue that bears watching well into the future. With more and more people moving to the Houston-Galveston region each year from outside the region, issues such as sea level rise not only affect the bay ecosystem, but public safety and property. Relative sea level rise (a combination of subsidence and global sea level rise) continues at a rate of about 2 feet every 100 years and there is increasing frequency of nuisance coastal flooding.
As we continue to analyze existing data and address any new areas of concern, we hope that collective actions and progress will inspire the public to support Galveston Bay conservation and management initiatives.
While we have focused on some of the threats, we assure you that there are plenty of areas that indicate that the Bay is headed in the right direction.
The Water Quality category continues to maintain high grades, which is promising for the Bay and the rivers and bayous that flow into it. We are also continuing to see improvements in the Human Health Risk indicator of bacteria concentrations in area bayous – an issue on which numerous regional partners have been working for nearly two decades.
Fish and bird populations across the bay appear to be maintaining their populations. From time to time, we see periodic decreases in species such as flounder and speckled trout in certain subbays, but these populations tend to be resilient over time. We will continue to watch to make sure that is the case. Brown pelican populations, a Bay success story, continue to increase in number.
As we move towards the future, we look forward to continuing our research efforts to make Galveston Bay and the surrounding watershed one of the best places to live, work, and play.
We thank Houston Endowment and the EPA Gulf of Mexico Program for their support, our research and outreach teams, and the thousands of citizens that have provided input into the Galveston Bay Report Card.

Bay Shipbuilding Cuts Steel on Great Lakes Freighter
Posted by Michelle Howard August 15, 2019
Photo: Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding
The U.S. Great Lakes freighter fleet are well-renowned for being a 'mature' group of ships, a point magnified yesterday when Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding started construction on the first U.S.-flagged Great Lakes bulk carrier built in more than 35 years. The shipyard and the owner, The Interlake Steamship Company, hosted a ceremonial first-cut-of-steel event Wednesday, August 14, signalling the start of construction.
The new River-Class, self-unloading bulk carrier is believed to be the first ship for U.S. Great Lakes service built on the Great Lakes since 1983. Measuring 639 feet in length (78 feet W, 45 feet H, 28,000 DWT), the ship will transport raw materials to support manufacturing throughout the Great Lakes region. The Interlake Steamship Company, Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding and Bay Engineering are jointly designing the bulk carrier, complete with advanced vessel and unloading systems automation. The ship is scheduled for completion in mid-2022.
"The first cut of steel is a major milestone that signifies we, along with Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding, are ready to begin production on this historic project," said Interlake President Mark W. Barker. "We are extremely proud to build our company's first ship since 1981 on these freshwater shoress. It's a true Great Lakes success story."
"Our workforce is very proud to begin construction on what will become a "homeport ship" so to speak," said Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding's Vice President and General Manager Todd Thayse. "This large-scale bulk carrier will be built on the Great Lakes and operate right here on the Great Lakes, which creates a sense of local and regional pride. Today's ceremony with Interlake was a great way to demonstrate how excited and appreciative we are for their continued confidence in the quality of our work."
The first plate of steel used in the ceremony was sourced from ArcelorMittal's Burns Harbor steelworks location. ArcelorMittal is the premiere steel provider for the project. Major partners for the project include: American Bureau of Shipping (ABS); Bay Engineering (BEI); EMD Engines; Caterpillar; EMS-Tech, Inc.; Lufkin (a GE Company) and MacGregor.

Oak Point Kiawah Island
More than any other course on the resort, Oak Point has gone through dramatic changes over last couple of years, greatly enhancing both the quality of golf and the overall guest experience.
The resort purchased Oak Point in 1997, rounding out the championship rotation of five courses that makes Kiawah Island Golf Resort one of the world's great golf destinations. Clyde Johnston, a noted Southeastern golf course architect, designed Oak Point on the grounds of former tomato and indigo plantation. With its close proximity to the Kiawah River and the Haulover Creek, with its surrounding maritime forest, Johnston was able to mold the rolling landscape into a first-class layout. Undulating fairways and challenging greens are some of the unique features of Oak Point.
In 2004, in consultation with Johnston, major renovations to the front nine were completed. Gone was the notoriously challenging par-4 third hole that featured a sharp dogleg right requiring an iron off the tee, then a short iron to a green with absolutely no margin for error. To make up the four shots to par that the elimination of the hole caused, the green on No. 1 was pushed back approximately 130 yards, changing the hole from a 402-yard par 4 to a demanding 530-yard par 5 with the green guarded by water on three sides. Additionally, a new 152-yard par three 9th hole was added next to the new clubhouse with a picturesque view of the Haulover Creek as a backdrop.
Oak Point is a shotmaker's course. Strategy and a thinking approach to the golf course will be rewarded over pure power. In this sense, it is a bit of a throwback to the classic courses of the 1920s where the ability to place the ball in a certain portion of the fairway or a certain spot of the green was more important than power. Throw in the beautiful vistas and it is easy to understand why Oak Point recently received a near-perfect 4½ stars from the readers of Golf Digest magazine in their biennial "Best Places to Play" poll where it was rated one of the best values in South Carolina.
Guests of Oak Point enjoy a comfortable clubhouse designed in a classic Lowcountry style. It features hardwood oak floors and an expansive porch lined with rocking chairs overlooking the 18th green and the Haulover Creek. The clubhouse's full service bar and grill offers a casual atmosphere with hearty meals making it a must stop after a great day on the links. If you are lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins cruising the waters right outside the clubhouse.


After deep research into density-dependent processes and their effects on legitimization and competition, I believe that the qualitative evidence section of Chapter 20 best summarizes what is asked of us in this unit. "Natural histories of organizational populations also suggest some intriguing possible embellishments of the theory…the level of and nature of social organization found early in the history of many industries or organizational populations…simply put, actions in the origin periods of industry typically look and feel to sociologists like the actions of social movements…telephony, automobiles, labor unions, credit unions, and HMO's" (Handel, p. 260). In other words, industry and subsequently, organization reflect the social attitudes of the time. A social movement is a deliberate collective endeavor to promote change, in any direction and by any means possible (Handel, p. 260). Therefore, the origin periods of industries resemble social movements in that the represent challenges to existing companies and industries and they are populated with individuals and organizations devoted to causes, lifestyles and visions of a better future for all (Handel, p.

Councilors vote to rebuild crumbling Belfast wharf
by Abigail Curtis December 4, 2013
BELFAST, Maine — City councilors voted Tuesday night to rebuild and expand Thompson's Wharf after hearing that it is in bad repair, but they will not seek state grant funds to help do it.
The facility has been primarily used for long-term, seasonal boat rentals since it was turned over to the city 17 years ago, and Harbormaster Kathy Pickering told councilors at the regular meeting that it is in "very bad shape."
"The metal fastenings are corroding so badly that planks are starting to pop up," she said. "There's not a whole lot holding it together at this point. It needs to be rebuilt."
After a fairly lengthy discussion, the councilors unanimously decided to go ahead and fund a project to double the dock's slip capacity, from 400 to 800 linear feet. While the number of seasonal slips would be cut from 10 to eight, it would increase the wharf's ability to host commercial charter vessels and transient boats. The project is estimated to cost about $185,000, according to Pickering.
But the council also decided against applying for a $47,500 grant from the state's Small Harbor Improvement Program, which several said would place unwelcome restrictions for 20 years on the usage of the wharf.
Councilor Roger Lee registered his opposition to reducing the number of seasonal rental slips available.
"It doesn't make sense to me," he said.
Councilor Nancy Hamilton said in the discussion that if the wharf doubles in size, it's likely that slip rental incomes also will double from the current $25,000.
"Two years of rentals will make up for the [Small Harbor Improvement Program] money," she said.
In other business, the councilors heard an update from Economic Development Director Thomas Kittredge about the city's status as the port of entry for the Waterville Foreign Trade Zone. He said that for some businesses, participation in a foreign trade zone can confer "substantial benefits," which include delaying or reducing duty payments on foreign merchandise and an exemption from paying state or local inventory taxes.
The program is supervised by U.S. Customs and Border Protection under the United States Homeland Security Council. In addition to Waterville, Maine has three other active zones: Auburn, Bangor and Madawaska.
"They haven't been heavily used in the state of Maine or heavily marketed," Kittredge told the council.
Councilors voted to contribute $5,000 to a Central Maine Growth Council initiative that would help communities increase participation by regional businesses.

Q: scheduled emails in asp.net with c# - which event or which place in code behind i want to send scheduled emails to all of my users at specific time every day!
which event or which place should i use for sending them in code behind?
my pages are base on master and content pages!
should i use page_Load of master page or content page (Default.aspx) / or should i use global.asax for this purpose?
thanks in advance

A: You should use the global.asax, start a thread on startup and use a time to send emails. Stop the thread when the application closes.
You have to keep the application alive to keep the thread alive. If you do not have any request of a long time your application is closed by the iis server and you will not send emails.
something like:
    private static bool stopProcessing;
    private static object __batchProcessLock;
    private static const int sleeptime = 2500;//2.5 seconds

    protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Thread BatchThread = new Thread(Start);
    }

    protected void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Stop();
    }

    private static void Start()
    {
        lock (__batchProcessLock) // Be sure to run this only once in the application
        {
            stopProcessing = false;
            while (!stopProcessing)
            {
                try
                {
                    //Do you stuff (check if it is time to send emails)
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    //handle exception
                }
                Sleep(sleeptime);
            }
        }
    }

    private static void Stop()
    {
        stopProcessing = true;
    }

A: Depending on the volume of traffic to your site and how accurate your timing must be another option in addition to @Peer's suggestion is to have some code that runs on each request. That code will check when the timed activity last ran (by checking in database or something) and then if it is gone today's time to send and it hasn't sent yet then you run your send procedure. Otherwise you go on as normal.
Of course you'll want to spawn a new thread to do the work so you don't hold up the user request while it does the e-mail sending.
Cons of this method are that it relies on somebody hitting your site to trigger. Pros of this method is that it can run late without any special code. The method of using timers will require additional code on first check to basically do what is done here to check if today's run has occured when you start it.
I will say again that I don't think this is the best way but if it absolutely has to be via ASP.NET web pages then this might be your best bet.
Though if you are allowed to have other code not in ASP.NET then you could write an app that will go to as special page on your website at the right time, keeping the timer code on an app on your computer (or a server or whatever). the special page will use some kind of security to ensure only you can access it (eg password protection or similar) and when you hit the page it does the e-mail stuff. This way the emailing code is in your ASP.NET pages but the actually scheduling code is in a more sensible location.
This may of course not be an option either.


$20 Overdraft Fee per item.
1Call us at (513) 574-3025, email us at customersupport@cincinnatifederal.com, or come by a branch to sign up for this service.
Overdraft Protection may help prevent overdrafts by automatically sweeping funds from another account you have with us to your checking account.
If you choose Extended Coverage on your consumer account, ATM withdrawals and everyday debit card transactions will be included with the transactions listed under Standard Coverage. If you already have Extended Overdraft Privilege coverage, it is not necessary to request it again. Business accounts automatically have Extended Coverage.
To enroll in extended coverage please complete the What You Need to Know About Overdrafts and Overdrafts Fees form and email it to us via our secure email portal. You can discontinue the Overdraft Privilege in its entirety by contacting us at (513) 574-3025 or sending us an e-mail via our secure email portal.
A sweep from another account may be a less expensive option than an overdraft. A single larger overdraft will result in just one fee, as opposed to multiple smaller overdrafts. Good account management is the best way to avoid overdrafts. Use our mobile banking or Internet banking services to keep track of your balance. For additional financial education resources, please visit www.mymoney.gov.
The $20 Overdraft Fee is lower than the fee that is charged if a check is returned as unpaid. If multiple items overdraw your account on the same day, each item will be assessed an appropriate Overdraft Fee or a Return Fee of $22. All fees and charges will be included as part of the Overdraft Privilege limit amount. Your account may become overdrawn in excess of the Overdraft Privilege limit amount as a result of a fee.
We will not charge an Overdraft Fee if your account is overdrawn by $5 or less.
We generally post items in the flowing order: All credit transactions are processed first. Debits, or withdrawals, from your account will be processed as follows: electronic items such as ATM and Preauthorized transactions are processed in the order they are received, followed by checks in numeric order. However, because of the many ways we allow you to access your account, the posting order of individual items may differ from these general policies.
Although under payment system rules, Cincinnati Federal may be obligated to pay some unauthorized debit card transactions, Cincinnati Federal will not authorize debit card or ATM transactions unless there are available funds (including Overdraft Coverage Options) to cover the transactions and any fee(s).
Cincinnati Federal authorizes and pays transactions using the available balance in your account. Cincinnati Federal may place a hold on deposited funds in accordance with our Deposit Account Agreement and Disclosure, which will reduce the amount in your available balance. The available balance for checks, ACH items, and recurring debit card transactions is comprised of the ledger balance, less any holds on deposited funds, plus the amount of the Overdraft Privilege limit. The available balance for ATM and everyday debit card transactions on accounts with Standard Coverage is the ledger balance, less any holds on deposited funds, and does NOT include the Overdraft Privilege Limit. For accounts with Extended Coverage, the Overdraft Privilege Limit is included in the available balance for authorizing ATM and everyday debit card transactions. If the funds in the available balance are not sufficient to cover a transaction, the amount of the Overdraft Privilege limit may be used to authorize and pay a transaction.
Please be aware that the Overdraft Privilege amount is not included in your available balance provided through online banking, mobile banking or ATMs.
Except as described in this letter, Cincinnati Federal will not pay items if your account does not contain available funds (including the Overdraft Privilege limit) to cover the item(s) and the amount of any fee(s).
We may suspend your debit card if you incur overdrafts in excess of the available balance in your account, including any Overdraft Privilege limit (as described in this letter) and/or if your account is overdrawn more than thirty-two (32) consecutive calendar days. Debit cards on your account will remain suspended until you make sufficient deposits so that your available balance, taking into account any Overdraft Privilege limit, is positive.
Overdraft Privilege limits of up to $500 are available for eligible Personal Checking accounts opened at least 35 days in good standing and up to $1,000 for eligible Business Checking accounts opened at least 60 days in good standing.
If you have any questions about Overdraft Protection or Overdraft Privilege, please call us at (513) 574-3025 or visit a branch.


The first section of the VFD is called the rectifier section or converter. This section consists of a three-phase bridge rectifier.
The second section of the VFD is called the DC intermediate section & it contains the filter components.
The third block of the VFD is called the inverter section because this is where the DC voltage is turned back into three-phase AC voltage.
Following Fig. 2 diagram shows an electronic diagram of a Gozuk VFD. Each section of the VFD is shown with the actual components connected as you would find them when you opened the VFD to troubleshoot it (see Fig. 1). The rectifier section of this VFD utilizes a three-phase bridge rectifier, which is actually a module. This means it can be removed & replaced as a unit rather quickly if it fails. In a future article we will show a picture of this type of module & explain its internal operations. The output of the rectifier section is six half-waves. A set of metal-oxide varistors connected to the input of the rectifier section to protect against voltage surges.
Fig. 2 (Click to see a full-resolution picture) Schematic of a VFD. The major components of the VFD include the rectifier, the filter, & the output transistors.
When the input voltage to the VFD is 480 volts ac, the output dc volts from the rectifier section will be approximately 670 volts dc. The pulsing DC voltage is applied to the DC bus on this system. The DC bus is identified by the +DC & the -DC wires that run through the length of the VFD circuit.
The filter section of the VFD uses capacitors & an inductor to filter the voltage & current. The capacitors have a pre-charge circuit that allows the capacitors to reach full charge slowly so that they are not damaged. The capacitors are connected in parallel with the DC bus, & the inductor is connected in series with the negative DC bus wire. A set of resistors is provided to discharge the capacitors anytime power is removed. You should always allow sufficient time for the capacitors to discharge before you try to work on the solid-state components in the VFD. The filter allows the pulsing DC voltage to be changed to pure DC.
The output section of the VFD converts the DC voltage back to three-phase voltage. This section uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) techniques to switches three pairs of transistors on & off up to 12 times during each half-wave to produce a three phase output. The amplitude of the signal determines the amount of voltage for the AC voltage, & the frequency of the signal will determine the frequency of the output of the VFD. In most cases the output frequency can be any value between 0-120 Hz. Some VFDs allow the upper frequency to reach 400 Hz.
The output transistors are connected across the DC bus. One transistor is connected to the positive DC bus wire, & when it's switched on & off, it will provide the positive half-cycle for one phase of the AC signal. The second transistor is connected to the negative DC bus wire, & when it's switched on & off, it will provide the negative half-cycle for one phase of the AC signal. The base VFD board provides the PWM signals for all of the transistors. The VFD contains a microprocessor that accepts the command signal & determines the correct frequency & voltage for the output transistors.

Q: render a part of the Account page based on the user being part of the Account team I'd like to render a part of the Account page based on the user being part of the Account team. I am getting stuck at generating the Boolean to Render.
Here's my attempt:
public class AccountTeamChecker {

 Account a;

    public AccountTeamChecker(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {

   a = (Account) controller.getRecord();

  }

        UserInfo.getUserId();

  public List<AccountTeamMember> AccountTeamFolk() {
      return [select Id, UserId from AccountTeamMember where accountid = :a.id ];
    }

 public boolean RenderRevenue;{

     if (UserInfo IN: AccountTeamFolk){
         RenderRevenue= True;
             } else{
                 RenderRevenue=False;
                 }

 }

  }

Does the IN: not work here, like I use in triggers?
Error: Compile Error: expecting a right parentheses, found 'IN' at line 20 column 18

A: This is one way to meet your requirement that leaves most of the work to the SOQL query by just returning the number of matches via count(). It also uses a lazy initialization approach in the get that often works well in controller classes to make sure that a property is always initialised (and once only) before it is accessed.
public class AccountTeamChecker {
    private ApexPages.StandardController sc;
    public AccountTeamChecker(ApexPages.StandardController sc) {
        this.sc = sc;
    }
    // Returns true if the user is an account team member
    public Boolean renderRevenue {
        get {
            if (renderRevenue == null) {
                renderRevenue = [
                        select count()
                        from AccountTeamMember
                        where AccountId = :sc.getId()
                        and UserId = :UserInfo.getUserId()
                        and AccountAccessLevel in ('Read', 'Edit', 'All')
                        ] > 0;
            }
            return renderRevenue;
        }
        private set;
    }
}

A: Try creating a set of the UserIds of the account team members instead then you can check if that set contains the current users id.
