Matías Nicolás Coselli (born 27 February 1990) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for Argentino.

Career
Coselli's career started with Deportivo Laferrere, having joined from San Lorenzo in 2002. He featured in the Primera C Metropolitana team's seniors for six years from 2008, making seventeen appearances for the club. During his time with the Greater Buenos Aires outfit, Coselli was loaned out on two occasions - to Primera D Metropolitana duo Centro Español and Lugano, netting six and nine goals respectively. In 2014, Coselli moved to fellow fifth tier team Central Ballester. Eight appearances followed. 2015 saw Coselli join Deportivo Paraguayo. His stay lasted three seasons, as he scored fifteen in fifty.

On 30 June 2017, Coselli agreed terms with Victoriano Arenas. Nineteen goals arrived in his opening campaign, as they won promotion as champions to Primera C Metropolitana in 2017–18. He followed that up with twelve further goals in tier four, which led to Coselli's departure to Primera B Metropolitana's Deportivo Español in January 2019. He made his debut on 1 February during a goalless draw against Tristán Suárez, with the forward appearing seven more times without netting in a season that concluded with relegation. Coselli joined Argentino in July 2019, scoring ten times in 2019–20.

Home Tech News BEWARE! 65-foot asteroid set to get dangerously close to Earth today, warns NASA
BEWARE! 65-foot asteroid set to get dangerously close to Earth today, warns NASA
NASA warns that a 65-foot wide asteroid will be coming dangerously close to the Earth today, November 26. Know the consequences that a gigantic asteroid has.
| Updated on: Nov 26 2022, 12:47 IST
Asteroid fun facts in pics: NASA reveals all you need to know
1/5 Space is full of objects, out of which only a few have been discovered. Asteroids are some of these objects. If you are not aware about the dangerous objects called asteroids, here are some facts you should know. First, did you know that asteroids are sometimes called minor planets? Well, they are. (Pixabay)
2/5 Differences between an Asteroid, Comet, Meteoroid, Meteor and Meteorite: According to the information provided by NASA, Asteroid is a relatively small, inactive, rocky body orbiting the Sun. Comet is a relatively small, at times active, object whose ice can vaporize in sunlight forming an atmosphere (coma) of dust and gas and, sometimes, a tail of dust and/or gas. Meteoroid is a small particle from a comet or asteroid orbiting the Sun. Meteor is the light phenomena which results when a meteoroid enters the Earth's atmosphere and vaporizes, in short, a shooting star. While, Meteorite is a meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth's atmosphere and lands upon the Earth's surface. (NASA)
3/5 Asteroid: Size, frequency and impact- More than 100 tons of dust and sand sized particles are bombarded towards Earth everyday, according to NASA. While, about once a year, an automobile-sized asteroid hits Earth's atmosphere, creates an impressive fireball, and burns up before reaching the surface. Every 2,000 years or so, a meteoroid the size of a football field hits Earth and causes significant damage to the area. Only once every few million years, an object large enough to threaten Earth's civilization comes along. Impact craters on Earth, the moon and other planetary bodies are evidence of these occurrences. Space rocks smaller than about 25 meters (about 82 feet) will most likely burn up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere and cause little or no damage. By comparison, asteroids that populate the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and pose no threat to Earth, can be as big as 940 kilometers (about 583 miles) across. (NASA)
4/5 How is an Asteroid Orbit Calculated? An asteroid's orbit is computed by finding the elliptical path about the sun that best fits the available observations of the object. That is, the object's computed path about the sun is adjusted until the predictions of where the asteroid should have appeared in the sky at several observed times match the positions where the object was actually observed to be at those same times. (Pixabay)
5/5 What is NASA doing to find and learn more about potentially hazardous asteroids and comets? NASA has established a Planetary Defense Coordination Office (PDCO), managed in the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. The PDCO ensures the early detection of potentially hazardous objects (PHOs) - asteroids and comets whose orbits are predicted to bring them within 0.05 Astronomical Units of Earth (5 million miles or 8 million kilometers) and of a size large enough to reach Earth's surface - that is, greater than approximately 30 to 50 meters. NASA tracks and characterizes these objects and issues warnings about potential impacts, providing timely and accurate information. NASA also leads the coordination of U.S. Government planning for response to an actual impact threat. (AFP)
NASA reports that the dangerous asteroid 2022 UD72 is headed towards the Earth today. (Pixabay)
When it comes to space, both exploration and protection is equally important for scientists and space agencies. That is why before the Artemis-1 mission, which is aiming to send crewed spacecraft back to the Moon to explore its polar region, NASA took up the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) where a spacecraft was used to change the path of an asteroid. And the reason this test was done was because of many asteroids which threaten the Earth with their potential to destroy cities and even countries. One such asteroid will be paying a visit to the Earth today itself, November 26. Read on to know whether an asteroid strike is possible.
Scary asteroid to come very close to the Earth
The Planetary Defense of NASA is made up of multiple departments, all of which are tasked with monitoring the Near-Earth Objects (NEO). These departments include Center for Near Earth Objects Studies (CNEOS), Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Small-Body database. The cumulative data from these departments has revealed quite a bit about this space rock. The asteroid is named 2022 UD72. It was first discovered recently in October 2022, and hence the four digit number in its name. The 65-foot asteroid will be coming as close as 4 million kilometers to the Earth. While that may seem like a large distance, traveling at a speed of 15,408 kilometers per hour, it can close that gap within days in case there is a last moment deflection.
However, the prediction by NASA at the moment is that there is little chance that 2022 UD72 will strike the Earth. It is expected that the asteroid will make a safe passage. However, various instruments will be monitoring it till it is at a safe distance from us.
NASA's asteroid tracking technology
Ever since NASA understood the risk of the near-Earth objects (NEO), it has dedicated itself to track and monitor as many space rocks in the inner circle of the solar system as possible. Using the prowess of JPL and Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) telescope, the US space agency collects data for over 20,000 asteroids.

A Colossal Compendium of Brutalist Architecture Argues for Saving 'Concrete Monsters'
SOS Brutalism is the first global survey of Brutalist architecture from the 1950s to '70s, and is a rallying cry for preserving these concrete structures.
Allison MeierFebruary 22, 2018

SOS Brutalism A Global Survey was only recently published by Park Books, but already two of its featured projects have been destroyed. The 1972 Robin Hood Gardens, designed by Alison and Peter Smithson, was demolished last fall in London; the 1972 Pragati Maidan, designed by Raj Rewal and Mahendra Raj with a cast-in-place concrete lattice of triangular shapes, was torn down last April in New Delhi. Despite Brutalism's new surge in popularity, the survival of the concrete-heavy architecture remains at risk.

The colossal book, available in English and German versions with over 700 pages of richly illustrated material, is published in conjunction with SOS BRUTALISM – Save the Concrete Monsters!, on view at Deutschen Architekturmuseum (DAM) in Frankfurt. After the exhibition closes at DAM on April 2, it will travel to Architekturzentrum Wien, opening on May 3. Both the book and the exhibition represent the first global survey of Brutalist architecture from the 1950s to '70s. They were developed from the online #SOSBrutalism campaign, a collaboration between DAM, Wüstenrot Foundation, and Uncube, that crowdsourced a database of over 1,000 projects across the world. (Hyperalleric covered its launch back in 2015.)
"In strong opposition to the modernism of the International Style, Brutalism was transformed locally as a bottom-up movement, in close relation to local culture and craftsmanship," Oliver Elser, curator at DAM and one of the editors of SOS Brutalism, told Hyperallergic. "In many countries it was the architecture of independence and/or cultural and economical progress. This connection with politics is only visible through our global perspective."
For instance, the 1975 Kolašin Memorial Center in Kolašin, Montenegro, was constructed as a Yugoslavian civic facility; following the country's collapse, the spiky concrete building lost both its social role and maintenance funding. In the Ivory Coast's Abidjan, the 1973 La Pyramide was designed by Rinaldo Olivieri as a modern African market in the city center. Yet its optimistic city investment was a failure, and its huge pyramid-shaped space is gutted and inaccessible.

Nevertheless, SOS Brutalism is not a litany of disaster. "It shows a large amount of examples of successfully preserved or adapted buildings," Elser said. The 1967 Jooste House in Pretoria, South Africa — designed by Karl J. Jooste as his own residence and office — was partly adapted into a restaurant. In Nairobi, Kenya, the 1973 Kenyatta International Conference Centre, crowned with a blossom of exposed concrete by architect Karl Henrik Nøstvik, was initially built for the Kenya African National Union KANU, but is now an active symbol of the country's independence.
As Anette Busse of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology explains in an SOS Brutalism essay, "Brutalism arose from strands of development in the fine arts and art theory, adopting from these the idea of appreciating that which is available, or an honest material. The search for natural forms was taken from science, and the new sculptural and constructive possibilities from structural engineering."

O. Gurevich and V. Zhukov, Hotel Rus, Saint Petersburg, Russia (1980–88) (photogrpah by Konstantin Antipin, 2016)
There are around 120 buildings explored in the book, divided into regions and accompanied by recent and archival photographs, as well as essays and case studies on heritage hotspots like New Haven, Connecticut and Skopje, Macedonia. The book is less an attempt to list every Brutalist building in the world, and more an effort to seriously examine their typologies, how similar aesthetics were expressed in different cultures and for various purposes, and in turn argue for their significance in preservation. Many may be familiar to raw concrete aficionados, including the gargantuan 1969 Boston City Hall and London's sprawling 1962-82 Barbican Estate. Others are obscure, such as the contemplative 1965 columbarium by Kiyonori Kikutake in Kurume, Japan, with concrete walls that seems to hover above the floor of the funerary space, and the Lari House in Karachi, Pakistan. The 1972 residence with its dynamic cantilever balconies was designed by Pakistan's first woman architect, Yasmeen Lari.
SOS Brutalism demonstrates the richness and diversity of the style. Exposed concrete has its own unique preservation challenges, and Brutalist buildings are often difficult to reuse if their original purpose becomes obsolete. Still, they collectively represent a post-World War II moment of experimentation with form and new materials, something that is worth protecting. As Elser affirmed, "For me, it is just obvious when I flip through the pages."

Mazel Tov! In less than a month, you will have officially survived 2018. We know it felt like a toss up for a little while there, but the end is within reach. You did good, kid. So before 2019's had the opportunity to develop into the next worst year of all time, you ought to consider booking yourself an exit strategy -- we mean, vacation.
New Zealand tends to cater to outdoorsy travelers -- "crunchy" folks, if you will. The once popular, coastal Kaikoura region saw a serious decline in tourism in the aftermath of a 2016 earthquake, but it seems the dry spell is over. Bookings in the South Island town have gone up a whopping 295% for the year to come -- apparently, people all over the globe are jonesing to do some crayfishing.
This one comes as no surprise: it's both an island and a city. The place has it all: a sweeping seaside promenade, European architecture, and a whole separate landmass called Gulàng Yu -- a pedestrian-only island rife with gardens, hotels, and stunning beaches. Airbnb reservations here saw a 283% increase in the year to come, so you're well advised to book as soon as possible.
Someone's grandpa has probably told you all about the battle of Normandy at great length. If you weren't paying attention, it's in France. Paris is so 2009 -- this northern city offers culture in equal measure. History buffs can explore D-Day landings and war museums, while the less academically inclined can enjoy the spectacular roster of local cheeses, ciders, and seafood. The area saw a 229% increase in bookings for the new year, so the place is cool again! Everyone tell a grandpa!
Great Smoky Mountains is already the most visited national park in the USA, straddling both the North Carolina and Tennessee borders. All the same, Airbnb has seen a 191% increase in bookings -- nobody's losing interest. If you're planning to get off the grid, and breathe some air that isn't loaded with the fumes of a thousand taxis, this is your spot. Book before everyone else does.


WebMD discusses common dog eye problems, and offers tips on helping clear up your pooch's eye issues.
Your snow-white poodle is so cute -- but he'd be even cuter without those reddish-brown streaks under his eyes. Dog eye discharge and tear staining are common problems, especially with certain breeds. So, what causes these issues, and what can you do to remedy them? WebMD offers answers to four common questions about dog eye problems and discharge.
1. What causes tear stains under a dog's eyes?
Excessive tearing can occur as a result of irritation to your dog's eyes or because your dog's tears are not draining properly.
Just as your eye waters if a speck of dust blows into it, dogs' eyes will make tears when irritated to flush away anything harmful. When the eyes are continually irritated, this can lead to chronic tearing that produces stains. Conditions that might irritate the eye include dog eye infections, glaucoma, and eyelash or eyelid problems.
Shallow eye sockets. If the eye sockets aren't big or deep enough, tears can spill out onto the fur around the eyes.
Eyelids that are turned inward. If the eyelids roll in toward the eyeball, the drainage holes for tears (called puncta) may become blocked.
Hair growth around the eye. If hair grows too close to the eye, it can wick tears away from the eye and onto the face.
Blocked tear drainage holes (puncta). Previous dog eye infections or eye damage can cause scar tissue to form that blocks some of the drainage passages for tears.
2. Which types or breeds of dogs are more susceptible to dog eye discharge and tear stains?
Regardless of breed, white dogs are more likely to have visible tear staining on their faces, because the pigments in their tears can easily dye light-colored fur. Also, dogs with long hair on their faces may be more prone to excessive tearing.
Short-nosed dog breeds, such as Shih-tzu, Pekingese, Maltese, and pug, are prone to excessive tearing because they often have shallow eye sockets or hair growth in skin folds around the eyes that cause problems. Also, cocker spaniels and poodles are more likely than other breeds to have blocked tear ducts.
3. Can the dog eye problems that cause tear stains be treated?
It depends on the condition leading to excessive tearing. There is no way to stop dog eye discharge because of shallow eye sockets, so the goal in this situation is to minimize skin irritation and coat discoloration.
If your dog's tear stains are developing because his eyes are always irritated, eliminating the source of irritation will help. This might include keeping hair near the eyes trimmed very short and treating infection or glaucoma, if present.
There are surgical options for certain eyelid or eyelash problems that can restore normal tear drainage and eliminate overflow onto the face.
4. What can I do to get rid of my dog's tear stains?
Whitening products. Swabbing the stains with hydrogen peroxide or using special grooming products designed for pet fur may help with tear stains. Just make sure not to get any in the eyes.
Regular washing of your dog's face.

Q: You can't mark a string as fixed-width if it begins with a whitespace character I initially noticed this when I posted this comment: How can I sort a document according to a substring in each line on Win7?
The first fixed-width section is not properly resolved. After a bit of testing, I concluded that whitespace is to be blamed for the behavior.
This will be converted just fine:

*

*,#
These won't:

*

*#

*#
Markdown Source

So much for the comments, but additionally, this is how the markdown section above is previewed below right now:

A: I had the same problem yesterday: A leading space in inline code breaks the comment's Markdown. I suppose that's intentional (to prevent circumventing the 15 character limit).
To produce  # in comments, you can place the Unicode character U+200B (Zero-width space) right after the first backtick:
`[U+200B] #`

How to type the U+200B character:

*

*Windows:

*

*Alt+Num8Num2Num0Num3

*Alt+Num+200B
(if HKCU\Control Panel\Input Method\EnableHexNumpad is set to REG_SZ:1)

*Linux:

*

*Ctrl+Shift+U200B

A: As with standard markdown, leading and trailing spaces are removed when rendering inline code.
If you insists on adding those spaces, you can use the NO-BREAK SPACE character in place of spaces. Example:

*

* #

*   #
You can also do this by writing your own HTML:

*

* #

*    #
(written as such)
 *  #
 *     #

P.S. I vaguely recall the former working with comments as well but a quick test shows that it no longer does :(

Saturday is National Run Against Bush Day.
—Join 10,000 other runners in 100 cities across the country to show how you feel about this administration.
Get it? Run against Bush? Running? Ha ha.
Maybe next Saturday can be National Tie Against Bush Day, during which Kerry supporters show how they feel about this administration by dressing up like Raj from The Apprentice and tying sailor's knots.
And maybe the following Saturday can be National Nguyen Against Bush Day, during which Kerry supporters show how they feel about this administration by growing strange hairs from moles on their faces and necks and eating lots of pho.


grabbing up to 3 of the top spots on most devices. You can understand why Google does this from a commercial viewpoint because in reality it is their main source of revenue.
Then tucked underneath we usually have the triple deck of map listings for most commercial phrases. Then and only then the much heralded organic SEO results appear in all their royal glory and so in reality that King is now 7th at best in the pecking order. But wait isn't content and context just as vital for Adwords? Yes it most surely is, it most definitely counts when it comes to Google's evaluation of quality scores based on the quality of the user experience where context and content reduces click-through costs to more relevant destinations.
Even so, organic listings still work reasonably well especially if you can reach the summit as these listings appear above the fold and tend to get far better click through rates than the maps and even AdWords in some cases. It also works powerfully when you search outside your locality because on most occasions the maps do not appear on these results as often. This means that on the desktop the top three local organic listings are usually seen above the fold on a decent sized screen and these potentially hold a far higher commercial value than the ones beneath the fold. In the case of international queries you can see as many as eight. Some people do scroll down and so you can get click-throughs' for first page results but if you don't appear on that front page you will get very little traffic off organic search.
It's a completely different story on mobile especially when it comes to User Experiencemainly because users are far more inclined to scroll on a touchscreen so strangely enough top 10 positioning has far more value in this space. The maps also provide a far greater ease of access especially when a phone call is only a click away.
So I prefer to perceive SEO as a grown up called Digital Marketing these days as the old persona has a character flaw. In effect the purges of the recent years exposed SEO as a rebellious teenager who snuck away behind the bike sheds trying to game the search engines with shonky back-linking schemes and old school keyword stuffing only to be caned with manual penalties that were incredibly hard to remove until a recent Google update.
Which brings us to probably the most important factor in the new digital marketing strategies, which is Knowledge Based Trust (KBT). Google has made it blatantly clear that relevance trumps keyword stuffing every time especially after the Hummingbird algorithm got baked into the mix. An expert is one who talks like an expert and who clarifies like an expert. It also helps if the expert keeps in mind that technospeak tends to go over most people's heads without a second thought so a precise easy to understand tends to win the day especially when it comes to conversions.
The truth is we should never write for the search engines again we should specifically write to our audience with the express view of informing and helping them find what they're looking for. A website is not about you it's about your audience about specific people with specific needs. So today in depth research on the needs of any given industry is paramount. Keywords have effectively morphed into interconnected semantic entities that relate to other semantic entities especially if Google's patents are to be believed. Isolating these and the vocabulary that relates to that entity will always increase your relevance. This research can be done manually through search or through tools that have been specially designed for this purpose. In the end this connectivity to reality is absolutely vital to your clients profitability and provides the perfect platform to write content that genuinely exudes authority.
Yet the greatest stumbling block in all of this are the clients who have been spoonfed for years on the old SEO. We need to make it clear that the ballpark has changed in such a way that the old tactics have little authority an presence compared to the ones that have been skillfully written and targetted to the audience that they are meant to serve.
I even fell for the trap myself once and enthusiastically trumpeted that semantic optimization had ascended to the throne but I quickly came down to earth when I saw the reaction. The reality is that SEO is not dead rather it's evolved into a vibrant new industry called Digital Marketing.
Every now and then we see posts proclaiming that SEO is dead but professional SEOs know full well that it is alive and kicking.

Q: Error using buildozer to build android package for kivy project When using buildozer to build android package for kivy project, this error occurs:
command failed: "aidl cannot be executed, ..."

In addition, in the directory of the kivy project, a file named invalid encoding has been created.
What's the reason for the error? I think maybe the encoding error. But how can I solve it?

A: I had this problem once. If I remember well, you need to install 'Android SDK tools', 'Android SDK Platforms-tools' and API 19 from the Android SDK Manager. Open a terminal : cd $HOME/.buildozer/android/platform/android-sdk-20/tools (maybe the version of your Android SDK is different than 20) then
./android sdk
Once it's done, you should be able to generate your APK file using buildozer android debug.

If you're wondering why this tiring and flat effort seems like a failed NBC pilot to pair with 'The Office', it may be because it's written and directed by Toby himself, Paul Lieberstein. Milana Vayntrub, Ken Jeong, and Jay Pharoah are along for the ride in this workplace comedy set in the world of Zoom calls and telecommutes. Despite the promising cast, 'Out of Office' lands with a deafening thud. It's lazy, boring, and, frankly, doesn't belong on a channel with comedy in its name. If only it had stayed on mute.

Woman killed by husband in Portimão to be honoured by University of Algarve
Michael Bruxo
The victim of a fatal knife attack inside an apartment in Pedra Mourinha, Portimão on Thursday, November 26, has been identified as 38-year-old Lúcia Rodrigues.
The mother-of-three worked at the Portimão campus of the University of the Algarve (UAlg), which has declared three days of mourning to mark what it has called a "moment of deep sadness".
Meantime, more details about the tragic crime have been emerging.
Correio da Manhã tabloid reports that the woman was stabbed by her husband Luís Cota, 38, "at least four times", although SIC and TVI report that it was closer to "10 or 11".
Authorities were alerted to the crime after neighbours heard screaming coming from the apartment. The couple reportedly "fought frequently".
The man has been arrested and is in police custody.
INEM emergency services tried to revive the woman but the death was declared on the spot. Her body has been taken to Portimão's legal medicine office.
The couple have three children, including 12-year-old twins.

Ohio auctioneer wins World Livestock Auctioneer Championship qualifier
December 18, 2018 DairyBusiness News Team DP All Breeds Blog, News 0
Daniel Mitchell, Cumberland, Ohio was named Champion at the 2019 World Livestock Auctioneer Championship (WLAC) Eastern Regional Qualifying Event. Northeast Georgia Livestock (Athens, Ga.) hosted the final of three WLAC qualifying events on December 12. A total of 24 contestants from 14 different states/provinces competed for a top 10 placing, granting them a spot in the 2019 WLAC at Tulare Sales Yard – Tulare, Calif.
Contestants were judged on the clarity and quality of their auction chant; auctioneer presentation; ability to catch bids and conduct the sale; and how likely the judge would be to hire the auctioneer. Judges for each qualifying event are livestock market owners and managers as well as allied industry members from across the United States and Canada.
"It is an honor and privilege to be named the top person of the qualifier," Mitchell said. "This gives me the confidence boost I needed going into the Championship round."
Mitchell has qualified for the WLAC eight times since his first competition in 2012. He moves onto the WLAC Semi-Finals where the competition is composed of two parts, an interview and live auction selling.
"The most challenging part of the WLAC event is the interview portion," Mitchell said. "This is what I plan to work on prior to June, not only for the contest but for my day-to-day use as well. I'm a spokesman for my customers and this industry."
Mitchell traveled nine-hours from his home state of Ohio to attend the competition hosted in Athens, Georgia. While his main reason for the voyage was to win the event, he couldn't deny the other reason for his trip – friendship.
"Over my years of competition, I've gained a lot of lifelong auctioneer friends from many different states, Mitchell beamed. "Each WLAC event I attend a take something new I've learned, from the other auctioneers, back to our business."
Mitchell is a second-generation auctioneer. He grew up attending farm sales and other auction events with his father, who is also an auctioneer. After graduating from auction school he entered the livestock auction business.
The Mitchell family owns Parkersburg Livestock Exchange, LLC and Jackson County Regional Livestock Market, LLC both in the state of West Virginia.
Also making a great showing were Reserve Champion Jay Romine, Mt. Washington, Ky.; Runner-Up Champion Philip Gilstrap, Pendleton, S.C.; Christopher Pinard, Swainsboro, Ga.; Wade Leist, Boyne City, Mich.; Tim Yoder, Montezuma, Ga.; Darren Carter, Ninety Six, S.C.; Jeremy Miller, Fairland, Okla.; Jacob Massey, Petersburg, Tenn.; and Jim Settle Arroyo Grande, Calif.
Other contestants who competed were Top Rookie: Russell Hergenreter, Salem, Ore.; Seth Waldrop, Westminster, S.C.; Andrew Conley, Blairsville, Ga.; Larry Nisly, Quaker City, Ohio; Mark Oberholtzer, Loyal, Wis.; Ross Parks, New Concord, Ohio; Chuck Cozzitorto, Hilmar, Calf.; Brady Ward, Villa Rica, Ga.; Albert Carroll, Downeyville, Ontario; Patrick Prather, Richmond, Ky.; Chad Wilson, Portland, Tenn.; Drake Morrow, Opp, Ala.; Billy Bruce, Fair Play, Mo.; Marshal Tingle, Nicolasville, Ky.
In June 1963, the Livestock Marketing Association held the first annual World Livestock Auctioneer Championship (WLAC) at the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Denver, Colorado. The purpose: to spotlight North America's top livestock auctioneers and to salute their traditionally important role in the competitive livestock marketing process. That year, 23 auctioneers from the United States and Canada sold the same 20 head of cattle over and over again.
The contest was held at hotels until 1967, when it traveled to its first LMA member market. Since then the WLAC has been held in conjunction with the LMA Marketing Industry Convention at member markets around the U.S. and Canada. Recent locations include California, Missouri, Montana, Tennessee, Kansas, South Dakota and Alberta, Canada.
Though the rules have changed, the enthusiasm for the competition hasn't. On average each year, nearly 100 auctioneers enter the qualifying events and only 31 (10 from each qualifying event, one from the auctioneering competition at Calgary Stampede) are selected to compete in the WLAC. The championship consists of three stages: the regional qualifying events held at different markets around the country, followed by the semi-finals and the finals that are held each June in conjunction with the LMA Annual Convention. Contestants competing for the World Champion title must be 18 years old, employed as a livestock auctioneer and sponsored by a local auction market that shares in the favorable publicity generated by the winners.
LMA is proud to sponsor an event that brings together North America's top livestock auctioneers in a competition that showcases professionalism and promotes the auction method of selling livestock.
The Livestock Marketing Association, headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, is North America's largest membership organization dedicated to supporting, representing and communicating with and for the entire livestock marketing sector. LMA has more than 800 member businesses across the U.S. and Canada. For more information, visit www.LMAWeb.com.

Klaus Hepp  (born 11 December 1936) is a German-born Swiss theoretical physicist working mainly in quantum field theory. Hepp studied mathematics and physics at Westfälischen Wilhelms-Universität in Münster and at the Eidgenössischen Technischen Hochschule (ETH) in Zurich, where, in 1962, with Res Jost as thesis first advisor and Markus Fierz as thesis second advisor, he received a doctorate for the thesis ("Kovariante analytische Funktionen") and at ETH in 1963 attained the rank of Privatdozent. From 1966 until his retirement in 2002 he was professor of theoretical physics there. From 1964 to 1966 he was at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton. Hepp was also Loeb Lecturer at Harvard and was at the IHÉS near Paris.

Hepp worked on relativistic quantum field theory, quantum statistical mechanics, and theoretical laser physics. In quantum field theory he gave a complete proof of the Bogoliubov–Parasyuk renormalization theorem (Hepp and Wolfhart Zimmermann, called in their honor the BPHZ theorem). Since a research stay 1975/6 at MIT he also worked in neuroscience (for example, reciprocal effect between movement sensors, visual sense and eye movements with V. Henn in Zurich).

In 2004 he received the Max Planck Medal.

State to hold emergency preparedness training in Clarence
CLARENCE -- New York National Guard troops, in conjunction with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, will present a free disaster preparedness class at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Clarence Public Library, 3 Town Place.
The event is part of the Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program, which provides citizens with the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions.
Working with the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) and local emergency management personnel, troops are conducting these training events across the state.
Since the program's launch in early February 2014, troops have held more than 525 events statewide, and taught over 48,000 citizens how to be better prepared for emergencies and disasters.
The program, designed by DHSES, covers a broad range of emergency-preparedness topics, like developing a family emergency plan, stocking up on emergency supplies, and registering for NY-Alert, the free statewide emergency alert system.
Participants will receive a training certificate, a wallet-sized "Z-Card" with emergency preparedness information, and a free Citizen Preparedness Starter Kit (one per family). The kit includes a first-aid kit, face mask, pocket radio with batteries, food bars, emergency blanket and other key items to help citizens in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. The classes include information about what other supplies and items citizens should add to their kits.
For more information on the program and emergency preparedness, visit www.nyprepare.gov. Register for the event at www.nyprepare.gov/aware-prepare/nysprepare/.

Your Passion 1st
We had the pleasure of interviewing Chris Thomas, founder of Your Passion 1st. Chris is the Associate Director of Recruiting Operations for Purpose Workforce Solutions - a mentoring and coaching based staffing firm.
Your Passion 1st is a workforce readiness festival company, leveraging a podcast based mentoring & coaching platform focused on inspiring young adults to overcome adversity as they find, define, and follow their passion.

Chris mentioned some of the roadblocks he faces in helping his target audience. A large majority don't have access to basic necessities, such as the internet at home. His organization advises and helps them through these hurdles, starting them along a path toward building skills that will help them ultimately land their dream job.
John Hall, founder of Wealth Legion, is a member of the advisory board of Your Passion 1st, assisting with the financial literacy piece of the organization.
"I am extremely grateful for this partnership, and I know how important the work is that Chris and his group are doing," Hall said.

Here is my inspiration I created for the hop this week.
I used several products, including a stencil from Stencil Girl to create the background. I used a thin weight Kraft paper from WorldWin Papers and crinkled it up to create texture on the background. The picture in the frame is of my husband and I on our wedding day. For a list of the products I used check out the end of my post.

CCD June Preview Day One!


July 15th, 2010 2:42 PM by Lehel S.
Thursday's bond market has opened in positive territory after this morning's important economic data failed to show any significant surprises. The stock markets are helping by starting the day with noticeable losses. The Dow is currently down 94 points while the Nasdaq had lost 23 points. The bond market is currently up 4/32, which with yesterday's late gains should improve this morning's mortgage rates by approximately .125 - .250 of a discount point.
Today's key data came from the Labor Department, who said June's Producer Price Index (PPI) fell 0.5%. This was a bigger decline than was expected, but the more important core reading that excludes costs for more volatile food and energy items matched forecasts with a 0.1% increase. Since the core data matched expectations, the data has failed to have much of an impact on this morning's bond trading or mortgage rates.
The Labor Department also said that only 429,000 new claims for unemployment be nefits were filed last week. Analysts were expecting to see 450,000 new claims, so this report can be considered negative news for the bond market. But, since it tracks only a single week's worth of new claims, its impact on the markets is minimal.
June's Industrial Production data was also released this morning. It showed that output at U.S. factories, mines and utilities rose 0.1% last month. This was slightly higher than forecasts, but not by enough that would signal manufacturing sector growth. Therefore, this data has also had little influence on today's mortgage rates.
We saw strength in bonds late yesterday as a result of the FOMC minutes that did give us some unexpected details about the Fed's thoughts on the economy. There appears to be some concern that more stimulus may be needed if the economy does not continue to expand at their projected pace. They also revised their growth estimates for the economy lower than the y previously predicted. They now expect the economy to grow this year at an annual rate of between 3.0% and 3.5%, down from the 3.2% - 3.7% range that was made in April. This news made long-term securities such as mortgage-related bonds more attractive to investors and helped boost bond prices during afternoon trading yesterday.
Tomorrow morning brings us the release of two more reports for the markets to digest. The first is extremely important to the bond market and mortgage rates. That is June's Consumer Price Index (CPI), which is the sister report to today's PPI. The CPI measures inflationary pressures at the more important consumer level of the economy, where today's tracks producer level inflation. Analysts have forecasted no change in the overall index and a 0.1% rise in the core data. The core data is considered to be the key reading because it gives us a more stable measure of inflation. Higher than expected readings could raise inflation fears and p ush mortgage rates higher tomorrow, while readings that fall short of forecasts could lead to lower rates.
The second report of the day is the University of Michigan's Index of Consumer Sentiment. This index is released in a preliminary form each month and then followed up two weeks later with a final reading. The preliminary reading for July will be posted late tomorrow morning and is expected to fall from June's final reading of 76.0. This would indicate that consumers were less comfortable with their own financial situations this month than last month. It is believed that if consumers are confident in their own finances, they are more apt to make large purchases in the near future. And with consumer spending making up two-thirds of our economy, investors pay close attention to reports such as these.
If I were considering financing/refinancing a home, I would.... Lock if my closing was taking place within 7 days... Float if my closing was taking plac e between 8 and 20 days... Float if my closing was taking place between 21 and 60 days... Float if my closing was taking place over 60 days from now... This is only my opinion of what I would do if I were financing a home. It is only an opinion and cannot be guaranteed to be in the best interest of all/any other borrowers.

"Tremendously useful to me in my work"
I received your book last week and am so impressed I had to drop you a note. I'm only halfway through -- still absorbing the concepts you present -- and it is already tremendously useful to me in my work. For example, last night during a session with my most challenging client, I experienced his resistance in a completely new way: instead of feeling like a source of frustration to me, it became a place of great therapeutic opportunity for the client. He was more vulnerable and engaged than ever and his work took on an organic "flow" which was remarkable to experience.
I'm new to the field, still learning what counseling is and is not, and your book is, by far, the best presentation of the therapeutic relationship I've yet run across. It makes me feel excited again about being a counselor and instills hope in me that I can actually help my clients change.
A practical resource for therapists at all levels of experience. Seasoned therapists will find a fresh approach for many of the most common and frustrating client interactions. Students will find helpful tips to develop confidence to work with clients while practicing various therapeutic techniques. Dr. Mitchell presents the material in a no-nonsense, sometimes humorous style that is clear and concise. You will find yourself returning to review the techniques in this manual frequently.
The next evolution in counseling.
I work with involuntary clients in a lock-down facility for delinquent juveniles and dealing with heavy resistance is a daily struggle. The methods I've used from this book have greatly improved my success in gaining cooperation and participation during counseling sessions. It's also relieved a lot of stress.
In this book you will find a new way of viewing resistance. It is approached as a product of the interaction between therapist and client instead of an internal client trait. It is a special form of communication from the client, and when handled skillfully, it can actually be used to move therapy forward. I love the Aikido metaphor he uses to make this point. Responding to the resistance to change is also viewed as the heart of all therapy because without it people wouldn't be in therapy in the first place.
In addition, he covers the importance of eliciting the "desire side" of change to boost client motivation, the importance of being sensitive to the client's stage of change using the transtheoretical model of change, and the importance of collaborative goal creation to keep therapy moving in a positive direction.
This book cuts to the chase by bypassing elaborate theory to get right to case examples that illustrate the methods and techniques described. The metaphors and excerpted quotes promote the quick understanding of the material even further. At first glance it may appear to be just a book of techniques, but it is actually a complete approach to therapy and is built on the foundation of Rogers' Person-Centered Therapy. This book also makes an excellent compliment to Miller and Rollnick's Motivational Interviewing.
The only criticism I have is that I would have liked to have seen an extended transcript from a collection of actual sessions with a single client that illustrate the techniques as that client moves through the stages of change.
"Stop resisting and buy this book! Simply put, it is the most practical book ever written on managing resistance. Your clients will be glad you read it!"
Recommended for both business management and industrial psychology community library shelves.
All Businesses have them - those difficult clients who come in and only seem to make the day seem to drag out longer and longer. "Effective Techniques for Dealing with Highly Resistant Clients, 2nd Edition" will lay out everything the reader need to know to deal with these formerly dreaded but valuable people. Written with practicality in mind, it teaches readers nine common errors therapists make that foster resistance, use the inherent power of language to create movement, the problem of over questioning, managing difficult responses, dealing with awkward silences and specific techniques to manage it all. Recommended for both business management and industrial psychology community library shelves.
"Dr. Mitchell's book is a welcome addition to the marketplace for clinicians working with challenging clients. This book is an extremely practical "how-to" guide for clinicians who ever feel stuck, stymied or in some way blocked in their work with clients (all of us at some point). It is concise, well-written and provides a treasure trove of strategies for managing any difficult client situation. Buy this book and watch your work with clients improve dramatically!" Mitch R. Abblett, Ph.D., Author of "The Heat of the Moment in Treatment: Mindful Management of Difficult Clients" and Clinical Director of The Manville School at Judge Baker Children's Center in Boston, MA.

Andi has spent much of her adult life looking for the perfect man, and at thirty-seven, she's finally found him. Ethan—divorced with two daughters, Emily and Sophia—is a devoted father and even better husband. Always hoping one day she would be a mother, Andi embraces the girls like they were her own. But in Emily's eyes, Andi is an obstacle to her father's love, and Emily will do whatever it takes to break her down. When the dynamics between the two escalate, they threaten everything Andi believes about love, family, and motherhood—leaving both women standing at a crossroad in their lives ... and in their hearts.

We were amazed by the dedication and enthusiasm conference attendees had for not only the highest quality vitamins and supplements we offer but for the entire range of anti-aging therapies discussed over an information-packed couple of days. Life Extension will definitely be attending the next RAADfest Conference.
RAADcity was our most exciting and enjoyable public exhibition of KAATSU technology in our company's history. The attendees were thoroughly invested in their long-term health and wellness. They asked questions, wanted to try our technology, and were undeniably interesting individuals of substance and good character. Simply stated, this was an outstanding use of our time, resources and energies and was a commercial success. We will definitely be back at next year's RAADfest.
The Expo at RAADfest 2018 was one of the best I have ever seen. I gained a lot of valuable information from just going from one booth to another at the Expo and talking with the people at each booth. There must have been at least 100 such booths at the Expo. I was very impressed!!!
I cannot say enough great things about RAAD fest. I had my first booth at the festival last year, advertising my newly published book and App. The sizable crowd was incredibly interesting, exuberant, and well versed in the world of anti-aging. The conversations and questions were exceptional, and I was thrilled to have sold out my stash of books. I was even more thrilled to become acquainted with the other vendors and experts attending the event. I guarantee that I will be there again next year!

Can booming green bonds finance sustainable cities?
In this three-part blog series "Making Vanilla Green or Making Green Vanilla," EDF+Business Sustainable Finance Manager Jake Hiller, and Clean Energy and Sustainable Finance Intern Gabriel Malek unpack how an environmental advocacy group like EDF could best use its resources and expertise to drive impact in the fixed income market. This research is informed by interviews conducted with Eric Glass, Senior Portfolio Manager at AllianceBernstein and founding member of the Municipal Impact Investment Policy Group; Rob Fernandez, Director of ESG Research at Breckinridge Capital; and Navjeet Bal, General Counsel of Social Finance Inc. and former Commissioner of Revenue of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Over the past few years, experts in socially responsible investing have become increasingly intrigued by green bonds, financial vehicles designed to kickstart environmental projects. In 2016, both EDF and the Stanford Social Innovation Review examined the strengths and challenges of the growing green bond market and outlined how this novel financial tool could help channel capital to sustainable development initiatives. Since the publication of these articles, the green bond market has expanded dramatically. In the US alone, the value of green bonds between 2016 and 2017 doubled to $48 billion. What began in 2008 with an experimental, World Bank-issued "green" labelled bond has since developed into a $155 billion market that is projected to expand this year.

Foreign Relations of the United States, 1964–1968, Volume XXVIII, Laos
4. Memorandum for the Record1
Washington, February 24, 1964.
Meeting on Proposed Action Paper for Laos
Assistant Secretary Hilsman, Mr. Green, Mr. Neubert, Mr. Barbis, Mr. Hannah—State
Mr. Solbert, Colonel McCrea, Colonel Jackson, General Clay—Defense
Mr. Forrestal—White House
Mr. Myers—CIA
It was agreed to revamp the objectives of the State Department draft2 on what the movement of U.S. forces to northeast Thailand was [Page 9]expected to accomplish so that the JCS could decide what was required. This new paper, attached also contains recommended action inside Laos for CIA action.
Mr. Solbert opened the discussion by saying that he was confused by the State Department paper and wanted to know from Secretary Hilsman what he really wanted to do in Laos. Secretary Hilsman said that there were several objectives: (a) cause the Communists to pause in their aggressive actions; (b) worry them more about North Vietnam. There was no intention of moving U.S. forces into Thailand to actually get them involved in the Mekong valley. The move was a political one for the purposes of being a deterrent and to increase American capability in South- east Asia at a time when the U.S. was thinking about more strenuous action in North Vietnam.
This type of response did not satisfy the DOD representatives. General Clay was insistent that these were only words and there was no credibility left in the idea of deploying military forces to Thailand. Further, if such forces were deployed they were of no use in Thakhek. Secretary Hilsman and Marshall Green both tried in vain to explain to General Clay the political advantages of such deployment as a move against the Communists and in favor of the Thais. It was also suggested that U.S. forces in Thailand might have a very positive effect on Sihanouk. General Clay still thought this would accomplish nothing in Laos. Mr. Myers mentioned that the arrival of the U.S. forces in Thailand as a political gesture combined with the actions to be taken inside Laos could have some effect. They would strengthen Laotian forces in being so that the nibbling tactics of the Communists might be stopped and so that a more positive political program might get under way inside Laos to serve as a motivating force for the Lao Army as well as for the population at large.
Mr. Forrestal agreed with this point but felt that the military complaint about the actual objective of the U.S. military role had to be clarified so that the JCS could make a determination of what steps could be taken. Secretary Hilsman mumbled something about we would at least buy some time. General Clay accepted this as an improvement in clarifying the objective; that it was only to bide time and not to do anything serious. Hilsman went on to explain that he was concerned about how we did these moves, because they should add to our general capability in Southeast Asia and make it possible to initiate measures in North Vietnam. He feared, however, that if we began to carry out attacks in North Vietnam prior to some victories in the Delta, that the North Vietnam program would come under Congressional attack by Senator Mansfield and others and that there would be an up-surge in Congressional support for the DeGaulle position for Vietnam. Mr. Hilsman explained, apropos of nothing, that he was much more in favor of doing more about North Vietnam, contrary to what some people may think. (He was obviously referring [Page 10]to the Stewart Alsop column in the Saturday Evening Post, which said Hilsman did not favor attacks on North Vietnam, to prove that he was really a red-blooded fellow.)
There was some general thrashing around over the business of what guise would be required to withdraw U.S. forces from Thailand once they were there. Nothing of any importance was decided. It was now almost 11:00 a.m. and it was agreed that the next step was to revise the State paper which should be done in the afternoon. The DOD representatives, Mr. Green, Mr. Neubert and Mr. Myers went to Mr. Green's office for a few minutes to get into some more of the specifics of the changes in the draft. Before anything was said, however, Mr. Hilsman burst in the room, emphasizing again his interest in North Vietnam operations, and said that since the situation was changed, his view had also changed. "If the Communists lunge, we hit them in North Vietnam." With a cheery goodbye he left the room.
The conference in Mr. Green's office went nowhere as the General and two Colonels made loud noises about the value of the old July 1963 Phase I, II, and III plan for Laos,3 which they thought was more of the point and which gave the military more room. This discussion was adjourned around 12:15 p.m. and Mr. Neubert and Mr. Myers carried on the conversation for a few more minutes. It was agreed that the part of the paper that had to be approved by JCS should merely outline the military action and that the part inside Laos, which would essentially have to be carried out through CIA operations and defended hamlets, should not get mixed up in what the JCS had to approve. Mr. Neubert was in agreement with this point. It was agreed that others would begin drafting the paper at 1:30 and Mr. Blaufarb arrived to participate in the afternoon drafting session.
The new draft,4 attached, is an improvement, except that it leaves aside the question of Lao village security, which FE will raise at the 24 February meeting.5

We have a Siberian Husky love is a four legged word shirt. I watched this and I looked at my falcon. This is the force awakens ones and it took me 5 hours to build. I couldn't imagine it dropping and breaking. Then you build that amazing thing and do the greatest fear of any LEGO owner. I want to get that Falcon in the worst way but I'll be content with my mini falcon. Keep up the great work Rhett and Link.
Like I get it if ur a fan of the Siberian Husky love is a four legged word shirt or Star Wars it could be a trigger but look they weren't dissing Star Wars or legos also the legos can be put back together as long as they found every piece so people just need to chill out anyways hay Rhett and Link u guys are freakin awesome keep being ourselves. It's Lego use imagination and build something random from the set after building it once then smashing it up, then do it again. Do people forget that it's a goddamn Lego set and can be rebuilt…over and over and over?
