Seven ambassadors, madams attend 2015 Yeongam Wangin Culture Festival

Baekje Scholar Wangin spreads Chinese character, art to Japan in 4th century
Ambassador Krzysztof Ignacy Majka of Poland and six other ambassadors visited Yeongam, Jeollanam-do Province on April 9-10, 2015 at the invitation of Mayor Jeon Dong-pyung of the Yeongam County, most of them accompanied by their spouses, and attended the 2015 Wangin Culture Festival, one of the important cultural festivals in the region (list of participants at the end of this Article). The Festival was in memory of the noted scholar of the Baekje Dynasty of Korea, Wangin Baksa, who visited Japan at the invitation of Emperor Ojin of Japan (15th Monarch of Japan) in the 17th Year of King Asin of Baekje (AD 392 to 405), and spread in Japan the Confucian classic (including 1,000 basic Chinese characters and the Analects of the Confucius), calligraphy, blacksmith skills, pottery, weaving and various other forms of art and craftsmanship.
After the Asiana plane touched down at the Gwangju International Airport, the ambassadors and their spouses were invited to a coffee where they were briefed by Mayor Jeon Dong-pyung of the Yeongam County on the schedule of the Festival and then proceeded to venue of the opening ceremony at the Culture Park named Bongseondae. All the ambassadors were invited to the platform to official declare the Festival open with Korean dignitaries who included Governor Lee Nak-yun of Jeollanam-do Province, Rep. Hwang Ju-hong of the National Assembly, Mayor Jeon of the Yeongam County, Chairman Kim Han-nam of the Organizing Committee of the 2015 Wangin Culture Festival and various other local and international leaders, including Chinese Consul General Wang Xianmin for Gwangju and representatives of the Hirakata City of Japan.
The opening ceremony was followed by dinner at the Wolchul-san Tourist Hotel, where Vice Governor Ko Young-yoon introduced the Festival to the ambassadors and other guests as Mayor Jeon was away to attend another important meeting. Speaking to the guests, Vice Mayor Ko said in part: "The Wangin Culture Festival is the only Historical Personality Festival in Korea that takes place along the Cherry Blossom Tree-lined Road of 100-ri (40 kilometers) in memory of the Great Will of Dr. Wangin and introduce the tradition and culture of the Yeongam County" (further details toward the end of this Article).
In response, Ambassador Majka, most senior among all ambassadors and therefore performing the role of the dean of the visiting members of the Diplomatic Corps, said, "As 1600 years ago when Dr. Wangin went to Japan, spreading Confucian Classics (including calligraphy, pottery, blacksmith techniques, etc.) now the Korean spirit is manifesting itself differently?as a Hallyu, K-Pop, Gangnam style or a next and next versions of smartphones, TV sets and many other items. All they support the image of modern and advanced country and society in the world." (See further details toward the end of this article.)On Day Two, after an American breakfast at the Hotel restaurant, the ambassadors and their spouses were invited to visit the Gichan Land Park of the Wolchul-san Mountain and toured the Gayageum Sanjo Theme Park, where the ambassadors and madams inspected various traditional Korean zithers and other musical instruments and had hands-on experience in them.Then they moved to the Dogap-sa Buddhist Temple and inspected various sites of the Temple, including pagodas.At the temple, ambassador and madams each signed their name on the reverse side of a roofing tile to be used at the time of reconstruction of the temple buildings in the future.
It is supposed to bring good lunch and health to the signing person.Following the visit to the Dogap-sa Temple, the visiting ambassadors and spouses were invited to a luncheon hosted by Mayor Jeon.Speaking to the guests, Mayor Jeon said, "By virtue of the gracious visit by Your Excellencies and Madams to our Wangin Culture Festival, I believe that our exchange and cooperation with various countries of the world will increase and become more active. And I expect that we will be able to continue to increase our relations with your countries through various interesting and exciting sights and events where you will personally experience the history and culture of the Yeongam County." (See further details of speech at the end of this Article.)Perhaps due to the unfortunate incident of Ambassador Mark Lippert of the United States in Seoul who suffered an injury by a leftist, Mayor Jeon and Senior Superintendent Min Sung-tae of the Yeongam Police Station took special security precaution and assigned more than half a dozen plain clothed detectives to protect the ambassadors and madams from any possible incident against them. The under-cover local Korean police officers paid special attention to each ambassador and madam, as well as close escorting of the bus, and worked beyond the call of duty, which was highly appreciated by the diplomats.After the tour, Ambassador Majka made the following comment on the Festival:Thank you for inviting us to the Yeongam Wangin Baekje Culture Festival. It was a very interesting trip and experience, organized in a big scale and showing a long tradition of cultural contacts between Korea and Japan. For us?diplomats, it was also very interesting to have lively discussions with Mayor Jeon Dong-pyung and the Vice-Mayor Ko Young-Yoon.
They were very open to discuss the history of the region, present aspirations of the people as well as challenges, including political realities of the whole North-East Asia region. ?I was impressed by Mr. Jeon Dong Pyung's ??knowledge and experience resulting from a long service for the local governments. He has been holding the position of the Mayor since 10 months only ?but ?before it he had served 3 tenures as governor of the region. Despite a short visit we were able to have a tour around cultural and historical sites, what was equally interesting, especially that cherry blossoms came into full flower at that time.Dinner speech by Vice Mayor Ko Yeong-yun of Yeongam CountyExcellencies and Madams, welcome to the Yeongam County. Thank you for your kind visit to Yeongam, which is a long way from Seoul.I express my heart-felt gratitude to the Excellencies and Madams of Poland, Sri Lanka, Colombia, the Philippines, Azerbaijan, Slovakia and the Czech Republic for their kind visit to Yeongam to make the Wangin Culture Festival all the more meaningful and brilliant. My gratitude also goes to the leaders of The Korea Post.The Yeongam County of Jeollanam-do Province is noted for very important historical and cultural properties, which include the National Park Wolchul-san Mountains and the National Treasure Buddhist Temple Dogap-sa. In particular, famed Korean scholar, Dr. Wangin, visited Japan 1,600 years ago with Lunyu (Analects of Confucius) and One Thousand Basic Chinese Characters, and opened the Era of the brilliant Asuka Culture of Japan. Dr. Wangin is the Spiritual Teacher of the Yeongam County and the Great Cultural Pioneer of Japan.
We are living now in the world which many call a global village. However, the spirit of sharing and exchanging ideas, the spirit of Dr. Wangin mission from Beakje period to Japan, the spirit of cultural diplomacy (the term which we are using now frequently) is equally important now as it was 1600 years ago. Nothing has changed in that respect.I personally feel, and I am sure many of us present here feel the same, that the spirit of Korean assertiveness, the power and will for dynamic expansion is still present among the Korean society and is manifested in many fields including politics, business and culture. I wish that this spirit of "fighting" will be maintained in the Korean society for the years to come. As 1600 years ago when Dr. Wangin went to Japan, spreading Confucian Classics (including calligraphy, pottery, blacksmith techniques etc.) now the Korean spirit is manifesting itself differently-as a Hallyu, K-Pop, Gangnam style or a next and next versions of smartphones, TV sets and many others items. All they support the image of modern and advanced country and society in the world. So. Let me congratulate the authorities and the people of Yeongam County for giving so much importance to the Wangin Cultural Festival which apart from being a great tourist attraction is also reminding us about the importance of cooperation in a peaceful and creative way. I am sure that such evening like today, giving us an opportunity of interaction together as the international community, serves well the purpose. Luncheon speech by Mayor Jeon Dong-pyeong of Yeongam: I hope that Your Excellencies and Madams have had a good time in Yeongam. Time has passed so fast and it is already time we must reluctantly bid farewell to each other. It has been only a short time, but I hope that Your Excellencies and Madams have enjoyed your time in Yeongam and that it has been comfortable. At this time, I would like to solicit your gracious acceptance of my sincere apology for my inability to share more time with the distinguished guests this time.
The Wangin Culture Festival is the only Historical Personality Festival in Korea that takes place along the Cherry Blossom Tree-lined Road of 100-ri (40 kilometers) in memory of the Great Will of Dr. Wangin and introduce the tradition and culture of the Yeongam County. Alongside the Wangin Culture Festival, there will also be held the Hanok (Traditional Korean House) Architecture Expo of the Republic of Korea and I hope that it will prove a meaningful and memorable visit. After your stay in Yeongam, I would hope that Your Excellencies and Madams will remember the Yeongam Wangin Culture Festival and introduce it far and wide to the world.Once again, I would like to express my heart-felt gratitude and a warm welcome to you all for your kind visit to the Yeongam County to congratulate the opening of the Wangin Culture Festival. I hope that your stay in our County will be a pleasant one all the way. Thank you. Return speech by Ambassador Majka: Honorable Mr. Vice-Mayor Ko Yong-yun and Madam of Yeongam County First of all I would like to convey to Mr. Mayor, Mr. Vice Mayor and authorities of the Yeongam County and to Honorable Mr. Lee chairman of The Korea Post sincere thanks for inviting us to this meaningful event and for treating us with such a sumptuous dinner We are grateful for preparing for us-diplomats such an interesting program which in a short time will give a chance to learn more about Yeongam County, its history, its meaning in Korean tradition and culture as well as contribution to the modernity. Particularly we are looking forward to participate in the opening ceremony of Dr. Wangin Culture Festival, which is designated by the government of Korea as a Representative Culture Tourism Festival of the Republic of Korea.We already know that Dr. Wangin was a great scholar, animator of science and culture who not only had enjoyed a high respect due to his knowledge and intellectual qualities in what is now Yeongam County in 3rd and 4th century, during the Baekje Dynasty. But, furthermore, he was given a task to share his knowledge, knowledge of the Korean people at that time, with Japan during the Emperor Ojin dynasty and on the invitation of the Emperor. We can say that Dr. Wangin was a great cultural pioneer and in a diplomatic meaning a true ambassador of Korean spirit and culture to Japan 1600 years ago. This fact is worth of mentioning in this particularly year--marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic relations between Korea and Japan. Now, we are living in different times and in different political, economic and cultural environment. The world has become more open, more accessible for travelers, for exchanging ideas through the modern technological devices, more open to political and economic contacts.
Thanks to your gracious visit to our County, I am grateful that the Wangin Culture Festival proved to be all the more meaningful and brilliant event. I offer my sincere gratitude to the Excellencies and Madams of Poland, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Azerbaijan, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Spain and other precious guests. By virtue of the gracious visit by Your Excellencies and Madams to our Wangin Culture Festival, I believe that our exchange and cooperation with various countries of the world will increase and become more active. And I expect that we will be able to continue to increase our relations with your countries through various interesting and exciting sights and events where you will personally experience the history and culture of the Yeongam County. In closing, I would like to express my hopes that your stay in the Yeongam County, though it was only a short one, will remain long in your memory and that you will think of Yeongna even while you are away from our county. I also hope that you will introduce the Yeongam County far and wide. I wish you all good health and happiness at all times. I pray for the continued development and prosperity of your country. Thank you for your attention.

Pasteurization Protects People, Period
By Stephen Hume on January 25, 2011
I note the ruckus over raw milk. Sorry, but I wouldn't touch raw milk with a 10-foot straw.
I wouldn't drink it, I wouldn't eat it as cheese and I wouldn't take a bath in it, either.
Nothing personal, but I don't believe claims that pasteurizing milk destroys its nutritional value or that it's a conspiracy of big agribusiness and big government to promote the interests of big pharma.
I see pasteurization of dairy products as a blessing. It prevents our return to a dreadful past in which diseases transmitted by raw milk afflicted hundreds of thousands every year. In fact, they still do in many parts of the world where people can't get pasteurized dairy products.
The "raw milk revolution" looks more like an exotic caprice for rich (by comparison to the developing world) dilettantes who benefit from more than half a century of the developed world technology they dismiss.
Consider brucellosis. It's a nasty, debilitating chronic disease that's transmitted from cattle to humans. The symptoms include fever, anorexia, fatigue, headaches, depression and weight loss. It's often confused with malaria or typhoid. It was a candidate for engineering as a biological weapon during the Cold War.
The principal vector for human infection with brucellosis is still raw dairy products. There are about 500,000 new cases of brucellosis every year, mostly in countries without access to the production infrastructure that permits large-scale pasteurization.
Africa is particularly vulnerable. Brucellosis is widespread in Tanzania, for example, and aside from the human health concern, is highly damaging to food security and to the sustainability of local economies because of the production losses it causes among the livestock it primarily affects – cattle and goats.
Other regions considered at risk are rural parts of the Mediterranean basin and the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South and Central America and parts of Asia.
By comparison, there are only about 200 cases of brucellosis each year in North America although a reservoir of infection persists in cattle. The disease emerged again in herds in Texas, Wyoming and Montana during an outbreak in 2003.
What sets developed countries apart from regions where brucellosis widely affects human populations is the presence of pasteurization of dairy products and deployment of aggressive control measures to eradicate reservoirs of infection.
Raw milk advocates who trumpet the health benefits of unpasteurized products are in fact the beneficiaries of precisely the public health "conspiracy" to pasteurize that so many deride and vilify.
And it's not just transmission of brucellosis that pasteurization has helped to eliminate in North America. The implementation of this technology is directly associated with corresponding declines early in the last century in diphtheria and tuberculosis that were transmitted through raw dairy products.
How significant was the introduction of pasteurization?
In the 1920s, there were up to 200,000 diphtheria cases a year in North America. The fatality rate was as high as 10 per cent among children and resulted in up to 15,000 deaths annually. Tuberculosis is estimated to have killed one billion people globally between 1700 and 1900. Pasteurization helped control both.
Or course, factors other than pasteurization helped eliminate these scourges from Europe and North America, but pasteurizing dairy products and thus seriously restricting a major transmission vector is a big one. In North America, human brucellosis cases fell by 97 per cent, for example.
The medical literature provides anyone who cares to read it with evidence of the alarming consequences of consuming unpasteurized dairy products. Since 1993 there have been scores of disease outbreaks associated with raw dairy consumption in Canada, the United States, France, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
So, call me conservative if you like, but that will be strictly pasteurized for me, thanks.

Q: xUnit GET results returning null I'm new to unit testing and have been working on some simple tests but, am having issues trying to use count() to check the returned data.
Here is my test
        [Fact]
        public async void Should_Call_Controller_Get_Return_200()
        {
            // Arrange
            var context = new HotelListingDbContext(dbContextOptions);
            var countriesService = new CountriesRepository(context, _mapper);
            var controller = new CountriesController(_mapper, countriesService);

            // Act
            var data = await controller.GetCountries();

            // Assert
            Assert.IsType<OkObjectResult>(data.Result);
            data.Result.Should().NotBeNull();
            data.Value.Count.Should().Be(3);  // <<< Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
        }

When I debug, data contains 3 items as per below:

Could someone please explain what I should do? I can see that Value is null.
I have tried data.Result.Value.Count but the error states: "ActionResult does not contain a definition for Value" which is confusing me. I have also looked at using Assert.Collection but not sure this is relevant.
I have been looking at the MS docs for unit testing trying to apply it to my project, but am stuck here. I guess it's something to do with the ActionResult and a step I am missing.

A: In order to access the derived type properties with a specific type you should first cast the result to that specific type.
Considering the fact that you are using fluent assertions you can use something similar to:
data.Result.Should().BeOfType<OkObjectResult>()
    .Which.Value.Should().BeOfType<List<GetCountryDTO>>()
    .Which.Should().HaveCount(3);

Hope it helps,

Silent confession season and vaccine hopes stir recovery impulse
Vesna PoljakMarkets editor
Jul 19, 2020 – 5.18pm
An unusually quiet confession period as the start of the earnings season inches closer means it's hard to see anything knocking growth stocks off their market leadership perch.
Even so, the technology sector just ruled off its worst week since April as optimistic news on a COVID-19 vaccine fuelled interest in hobbled travel stocks and out-of-favour cyclical names.
The S&P/ASX 200 Index is set for just a 2-point rise at the start of trading on Monday, from Friday's 6033.6 point close. Faced with disappointing consumer sentiment figures and mounting active cases, Wall Street eked out only a small gain of 0.3 per cent for the S&P 500.
Jun Bei Liu: "I really think this recovery theme is coming through." Janie Barrett
Buy now, pay later leader Afterpay fell nearly 7 per cent last week; but it's still priced at more than $67 a share. And while the Nasdaq index cracked a fresh record at the top of the week, it was unable to build on those gains as Netflix's quarterly fell short of the Street's expectations, and the other FAANGs weakened.
"It's just natural to see a little bit of rotation. In a way, it's actually a very good indication that investors are searching for value – not value in the traditional sense, but value in good companies that have perhaps been oversold," said Jun Bei Liu, manager of the Tribeca alpha plus fund.
"To buy those you've got to sell something, and tech is what's done well."
The hedge fund manager is not troubled by the second wave of infections which culminated in Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews introducing mask orders in Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire area north of the city on Sunday. She acknowledged the second wave is a setback but said it was also an opportunity to buy inexpensive stocks in the knowledge a vaccine was on track for distribution in 2021.
"I really think this recovery theme is coming through but the second lockdown has introduced some caution," Ms Liu said. "I would say the earnings downgrade cycle will be much less severe than three months ago."
Many analysts adopted an abundance of caution in the first phase, and the worst-affected sectors will arrive at a point of pent-up demand, she argued.
Ms Liu cited the example of Ramsay Health Care. "What's my risk? Do they have a strong balance sheet? It's very strong." Taking a long enough view, of at least six months, a 40 per cent return was not out of the question, she said.
Similarly, Domain (whose biggest investor is Nine, publisher of The Australian Financial Review) and gaming businesses such as Star Entertainment could be grouped broadly as inexpensive on the assumption they would be in a better place next year, Ms Liu suggested.
A sustainable recovery trade is not strictly the antithesis of the technology-heavy growth darlings that have dominated returns for most of this year, but it would potentially undermine their valuations.
The removal of market guidance when COVID-19 erupted means the heightened earnings risk that usually defines late June and July is absent this year.
Earnings per share (EPS) estimates for 2020-21 are nearly in positive territory, and improved by 30 basis points in the week to July 10, according to Morgan Stanley equity strategy's tracking of consensus. For 2019-20, EPS is expected to contract by 15.2 per cent, and the following year stands at just negative 1.4 per cent.
"What's going to get us out of this? This pandemic is a truly one-off event. We're hopeful the vaccine will be produced by end of this year or early next year, we just need companies to sustain the next six to eight months," Ms Liu said.

Saratoga Solar Farm Plans Say Project Would Power 40,000 Homes, Create 300 Construction Jobs
Via Wisconsin Rapids Tribune:
MADISON – Plans to construct a 150-megawatt solar farm in the town of Saratoga were filed Monday with state utility regulators, beginning a review process the project owner expects to be completed by early next year.
According to the Certification of Public Convenience and Necessity application filed with the Public Service Commission:
The Wood County Solar Project would be built across 1,208 acres with the developer, WCSP LLC, a subsidiary of Kansas-based Savion LLC, holding an option to purchase a total of about 1,800 acres, all from a single property owner.
The project acreage is large enough to accommodate construction of a new substation and potentially a battery storage system.
The solar farm would be bordered on the south by Hillcrest Avenue and Blue Ridge Lane, on the west by Serenity Trail, on the east by Young Street and bisected by Rangeline Road.
A four-mile-long 138-kilovolt transmission line would need to be constructed in order to tie the solar farm into the transmission grid. Construction requires separate PSC approval. American Transmission Co.'s Port Edwards-Sand Lake 138-kilovolt line, near SH 13 and Mill Ave., has the capacity to add a 150-megawatt generating facility without requiring costly upgrades, Savion concluded. About 85 percent of the proposed four-mile power line could be built along existing transmission lines or road right of way
Savion LLC, has 130 projects in operation or development in 25 states. After constructing the Wood County Solar Project, Savion plans to sell the facility to local utility companies that want solar power to replace the generating capacity they will lose after taking some coal-fired power plants out of service.
The solar farm will have about 470,000 individual photovoltaic panels that track the path of the sun to produce direct current. Inverters will change the electricity to alternating current.
It would produce enough electricity to power about 40,000 homes.
Savion chose the site, about five miles south of Wisconsin Rapids, because of the availability of undeveloped land, proximity to transmission lines, a receptive community and a lack of environmental issues.
Much of the project area was logged decades ago and is currently a pine plantation used for timber and pulp production. The tree cover can screen the massive solar array from surrounding properties.
Similar utility project properties are tax exempt, but a state fee that substitutes payments to local governments in lieu of taxes is estimated to generate $350,000 in annual revenue to Wood County and $250,000 annually to the town of Saratoga. The project property is currently enrolled in the Managed Forest Law program, which distributes minimal revenue to local governments and none to area school districts.
Efforts to contact the town of Saratoga and Town Chair Terry Rickaby this week about the proposed solar farm were unsuccessful.
Preliminary studies of cultural and historic sites have identified few constraints and can be avoided by the placement of the solar array. Savion and the town will develop a groundwater monitoring plan prior to construction and continue for five years. Savion is conducting or has committed to various environmental studies including site analysis, endangered resources, wetland delineation, floodplains, traffic, noise and electro-magnetic fields.
Savion's spokesperson Johnna Quinty wouldn't disclose the estimated cost to construct the solar project, saying such information was proprietary. She did say that the project is expected to create 300 construction jobs, locally sourced when possible. The CPCN application noted that the project could create three full-time maintenance positions.
Savion will give the town $5,000 to hire a consultant to evaluate the proposed project.
The town retains zoning control over some aspects of the project and is expected to reach a developer's agreement with Savion regarding restoring town roads damaged during construction and restoring the property to agricultural or other compatible when the project is decommissioned.
Once the PSC deems Savion's application is complete, it will have a public comment period, hold public hearings and decide the construction request in an open session.
Savion has had the project under consideration since 2018. Its project timetable includes obtaining approvals and permits by late 2020 or early 2021, followed by final design and obtaining easements.

Q: Registering Event In Autofac I think there is only Registered event in IComponentRegistry interface as implemented. What I was wondering for: Is there any way to intercept every registration while registering time to add additional functionalities to it. Such as Registering event ?
For example, I have an interface IApplicationService. This is a marker interface to register all ApplicationServices as the conventional way. This interface will allow me to register all ApplicationServices in my layer which designed with DDD approach. So, I want to apply UnitOfWork as default to all ApplicationServices on Registration time by intercepting them and decorating them an UnitOfWorkInterceptor. This approach leads that, I need a Registering event to apply any As<> or InterceptedBy<> methods to registering component as the addendum.
This means that update a component on registration time, i suppose. How can i treat my registrations with that approach?

A: You can implement an Autofac module which has a AttachToComponentRegistration method which will be triggered for every registration
public class XModule : Module
{
    protected override void AttachToComponentRegistration(
        IComponentRegistry componentRegistry, IComponentRegistration registration)
    {
        // do whatever you want with registration
    }
}

the AttachToComponentRegistration will be triggered for every registration : past and future.
The Autofac.Extras.DynamicProxy2 extension works with RegistrationBuilder whereas Module works with Registration. AFAIK there is no way to intercept
IRegistrationBuilder and automatically call methods on it, thus there is no easy way to use the InterceptedBy and so on method on a Module.
You can by the way do it using classic Castle.Core interception without relying on Autofac.Extras.DynamicProxy2 with something like this :
public class XModule : Module
{
    public XModule()
    {
        this._generator = new ProxyGenerator();
    }

    private readonly ProxyGenerator _generator;

    protected override void AttachToComponentRegistration(
        IComponentRegistry componentRegistry,
        IComponentRegistration registration)
    {
        if (registration.Services
                        .OfType<IServiceWithType>()
                        .Any(s => s.ServiceType == typeof(IApplicationService)))
        {
            registration.Activating += Registration_Activating;
        }
    }

    private void Registration_Activating(Object sender, ActivatingEventArgs<Object> e)
    {
        Object proxy = this._generator.CreateClassProxyWithTarget(
            e.Instance.GetType(),
            e.Instance,
            e.Context.Resolve<IEnumerable<IInterceptor>>().ToArray());

        e.ReplaceInstance(proxy);
    }
}

You can browse the source code of the Autofac.Extras.DynamicProxy2 module to understand how you can integrate Castle.Core with Autofac.

GREENSBORO — The Page varsity football team is expected to forfeit its first three football games of the season because two players were academically ineligible.
Guilford County Schools confirmed today that the eligibility violations have been reported to the N.C. High School Athletic Association and that Page expects to forfeit victories over Davie County on Aug. 17, Northern Guilford on Aug. 24 and Dudley on Aug. 31. The violations also are likely to result in a fine from the NCHSAA, according to an email from Tina Firesheets, the GCS program administrator for media relations.
Sounds about right. Its Page.
You can go ahead and count the East Forsyth game as a lost.
Ok Ron….we'll see. Hope to see you around in a few weeks.
Whelp, wondering if those ineligible players were main contributors to their wins ? Ummmm. I bet this is why the AD suddenly retired . I hate it for the players but at the same time some of them have been very disrespectful on social media every time they win .
Here we go. When you are a winner the losers always lurk. See what happens from here….
John smith..ask the Tarholes in Chapel Hell how the cheating and academic inadequencies has enhanced their season…Hmmmmm..no worries??
The Page baseball player was a pitcher who pitched too many innings, this is on the coach. Also the 2 Page football players were academically ineligible, this is also mostly on the head coach..
The baseball situation was an on-the-field issue/error that happened during the game, and by on the field it was something that happened in game action and was found during the course of the game….
The academic ineligibility issue happened per say during the Spring semester of 2018 and would be an administrative issue..
This is a tight window right now between now and October 1 and I for one, hope Rusty Lee can leave PAGE and feel like his time and efforts at this school were appreciated, and his name is not dragged through the mud on his way out….
Miscues here, but not too late for Page to salvage their season….You know Page will hit the field very hungry next Friday night at Southern Guilford…..The Pirates level of intensity will be running very high….
I could care less if Page wins or loose another game. Lets make sure these young men get the guidance they need to get back on track and graduate!!!
Page has over 800 athletes. Each athlete has 8 standard forms, plus additional tracking for pay-to-play. Rusty's office flooded and was found to have mold last year. He was living out of boxes for 7 months while repairs were made. If he missed two details on the 7,200 forms without an office or an assistant, he is a miracle worker! I agree Andy, he should hold his head up high.
Oh give me a break with that sob story.
Every AD in this county is responsible for the same things as Rusty is and nobody else is getting fired.
Welcome to the real world. If you miss up you get cut.
Wish Rusty the best but tired of the excuses.
No one is making an excuse or trying to justify anything.
Page booster is just trying to shed some light on what happened. it was an unfortunate mistake for everyone involved.
After October 1, I'm thinking Lewis Newman at Grimsley will be the Guilford County AD with the longest running tenure of our GCS athletic directors..
Rusty did a great job when he brought on Kevin Gillespie as the new football coach a few years back and that was at a time where the Pirate football program was way down and under Coach Gillespie's direction Page won 1 4-AA State Title and played in two other Championship Games..
Tennis has done great things under Robert Hogewood's leadership and Rusty brought him on board..
It is not easy running the athletic program for one of the largest schools in the state and with that thought aside, it is still about giving Rusty the respect he deserves as he heads out on October 1….
Page might be best served to run the Athletic Department with a committee of assistant AD's for the rest/remainder of this school year and come back with a full-time AD at the beginning of the 2019-2020 year..
Page has been successful and like any other school they have had mistakes, but we still should not take away from the job Rusty Lee has done at Page for the past 27 years..
The big game we got caught looking ahead to is coming up with the best story line. That is going down in a couple weeks and that game folks is East Forsyth-Page game. Coach Beal the East Forsyth DC and Coach Rolfes can't stand each other and that always makes for a great night of football. They use to coach together at NW but Beal left for East Forsyth. Coach Beal got the best of Coach Rolfes 2 years in a row. Last year Rolfes finally got players that could match Coach Beals defensive talent at East and Rolfes showed who the better coach was! This year everyone in the area keeps talking about East Forsyth blah blah blah. I'm telling you right now that Rolfes and Page will beat East Forsyth and make it look easy like they did against Dudley. Page has more speed than East Forsyth and they are pissed on top of that they have better coaching! All you haters that say other make sure you come back that night! GO PIRATES ARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!


In this episode, the Reno Dads podcast sits down with Shane Whitecloud, a local dad who has been working with various veterans groups in northern Nevada for more than ten years.
One of the programs that Shane has been most active with is called the Veterans Resource Centers of America. There are a number of these centers in northern Nevada and California that are a valuable source of information, counseling, and programs that are aimed at assisting veterans with their transition back into civilian life, or to help them as they continue to navigate after they've served in the military.
Shane also has created his own non-profit aimed at veteran job seekers, called Operation Employ. While it's still early in its existence, the goal is to help employers connect with veterans as a resource of skilled labor, and also to help veterans find companies that are looking for veterans to hire.
We enjoyed getting to know Shane, and we hope you enjoy hearing his story on the podcast, too!
Conversation with Shane Whitecloud about his work with Veterans Resource Centers and Operation Employ.


Now that you are able to shift to the Spirit, the next item for the experiment is preparation of the various aspects of work.
I would know I have shifted to the Spirit by the inner calm?
Mind no going back to old doubts, usual questions, and expectations is the indication of the shift.
As I told you, they are there off and on. You want me to act for this experiment when that calm is there. Why does the calm go?
When you resort to the auspicious hour, product reputation, and the like, the calm goes away. You should desist from them.
You told me earlier that complete preparation means I should not repeat my past errors, and express values like punctuality, cleanliness, silent will, etc. in work. Orderliness too.
I should ask for perfect executions of work and complete preparation for that. That is the best. You must give your BEST without sparing yourself. This is indispensable.
I shall take my work, split each item into five or ten sub-units and subject them to the test of this efficiency standard.
That will be ideal. No one should say that something more could be done.
It should be an effort better than all my previous efforts.
I repeat, this is good, but all your energies must be exhausted. In this shift of mind and complete preparation, already you will observe the change of the atmosphere. The negative symptoms will recede and positive omens will arise. Before execution, it must become fully positive. What now remains is the execution.

Q: In a stored procedure how to skip to next query statement even if the previous statement fails I'm hoping someone can give me an idea on how to handle this situation. I have a stored procedure that updates various tables. Some queries require connecting to different linked servers. Sometimes those linked servers are down and i need the procedure to still run the next statements regardless. Below is an example:
--Stored Procedure
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO table1
        SELECT *
        FROM Z1;

    -- IF ABOVE FAILS GO TO NEXT QUERY ANYWAY
    INSERT INTO table1
        SELECT *
        FROM Z2;

    -- IF ABOVE FAILS GO TO NEXT QUERY ANYWAY
    INSERT INTO table1
        SELECT *
        FROM Z3;
END

A: You can probably do what you want with TRY/CATCH blocks:
BEGIN
    BEGIN TRY
        INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM Z1;
    END TRY
    BEGIN CATCH
        -- you can do something here if you want
    END CATCH;

    -- IF ABOVE FAILS GO TO NEXT QUERY ANYWAY

    BEGIN TRY
        INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM Z2;
    END TRY
    BEGIN CATCH
        -- you can do something here if you want
    END CATCH;

    -- IF ABOVE FAILS GO TO NEXT QUERY ANYWAY

    BEGIN TRY
        INSERT INTO table1 SELECT * FROM Z3;
    END TRY
    BEGIN CATCH
        -- you can do something here if you want
    END CATCH;
END;

This handles runtime errors.  If you have compile time errors -- such as tables not existing or the columns not matching between the tables, then this doesn't help.

A: If this were run from say ssms as a bunch of ordinary queries, I would've put batch separators between each of them to treat them separately. However since this is a stored procedure you can't do that. One way to get around that could be to make one stored procedure of each query and put all of them as steps inside a SQL Server Agent job. You run the job and each step runs in order from top to bottom even if some in the middle fail.

A: even this will also work: @@ROWCOUNT is oracle's equivalent of sql%rowcount
--Stored Procedure
BEGIN
    INSERT INTO table1
        SELECT *
        FROM Z1;

    IF @@ROWCOUNT <>1
    INSERT INTO table1
        SELECT *
        FROM Z2;

    IF @@ROWCOUNT <>1
    INSERT INTO table1
        SELECT *
        FROM Z3;
END

America Is Not Ready for Exploding Drones
An apparent assassination attempt in Venezuela shows how technology is moving faster than governments can counter it.
By Kathy Gilsinan
Venezuela National Television / AP
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro was intoning something about economic renewal, flanked by his wife and a handful of high officials, in a country gripped by poverty, starvation, and shortages. Then, in a moment broadcast live on television that has since gone viral, his wife's face changed. For an instant she seemed to duck as she reached for the official next to her; Maduro glanced up with apparent concern. The camera panned to the National Guardsmen in formation on the street before him as dozens suddenly started running. According to the government and witnesses, they had seen explosions in the sky.
By the government's account, those explosions were part of an attempted assassination by drone—which if correct would be the first instance of such an attack targeting a head of state, and a possible portent of things to come.
The United States pioneered military drones for surveillance and then missile strikes in Afghanistan nearly two decades ago; only a handful of states now have those capabilities. But small, commercially available drones of the kind Venezuela says were used in the attempt have proliferated widely among private actors in recent years. They do not require billions of dollars to procure or runways to take off. They can be used for filming or for delivering commercial products or for humanitarian aid. They can just as easily carry explosives.
Playing defense against the drones
The attempted target in Venezuela was new, but the risk was not, nor is the anxiety among analysts and officials that it's only getting worse and that countries, including the United States, are unprepared to deal with it. Only months after the Islamic State took the Iraqi city of Mosul in the summer of 2014, there were reports that the group was flying surveillance drones. The fall of 2016 brought the first known instance of fatalities from a suspected ISIS drone, when two Kurdish fighters in northern Iraq were killed examining an explosives-rigged drone they had shot out of the sky. At the peak of ISIS drone activity in 2017, according to a report from the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, its drones were flying dozens of missions a month across Iraq and Syria, with one Syrian Defense Force soldier reporting repeated drone attacks on logistics lines and ammunition depots.
"This has been building for some time," Vance Serchuk, the executive director of the KKR Global Institute, the geopolitical-strategy arm of the investment firm KKR, told me. His institute has conducted research on drone and counter-drone technologies; he is also an Atlantic contributor. In Iraq and Syria in particular, ISIS "figured out how to weaponize drones before we figured out how to counter them … Modern air defenses are built against planes and cruise missiles. A quadcopter is small, low, and slow. We don't have a good architecture for defeating this on the battlefield."
This technological evolution is typical of terrorist groups' tactical innovations, which often involve devising low-cost ways to inflict disproportionate damage on a stronger enemy. It's easier and cheaper, for example, to rig and hide a simple explosive device along a roadside, as various insurgent groups did to devastating effect in Iraq, than it is to find and disarm them, or protect personnel against them. Similarly, al-Qaeda, ISIS, and others have turned everyday technologies—from pressure cookers, to vans, to airplanes—into weapons of war. Commercial drones are just the latest example of a long-standing pattern.
ISIS has a drone strategy too
While ISIS's drone activity has declined with its loss of territory in Iraq and Syria, the problem is not limited to them, or to the world's battlefields. In 2015, Reuters reported that a protester flew "a drone carrying radioactive sand from the Fukushima nuclear disaster onto the prime minister's office, though the amount of radiation was minimal." Mexican cartels have used drones to smuggle drugs and, in one instance, to land disabled grenades on a local police chief's property. Last summer, a drone delivered an active grenade to an ammunition dump in Ukraine, which Kyle Mizokami of Popular Mechanics reported caused a billion dollars' worth of damage.
That attack was atypical of the damage small commercial drones can cause, as Ulrike Esther Franke, a policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations who has studied the use of drones, noted in 2016. A U.S. military Reaper drone, she noted, can hover for much of a day carrying 500-pound bombs; the Venezuelan interior minister said that the two drones used in the alleged attack were carrying about two pounds' worth of plastic explosives. Those explosives caused injuries but no fatalities; still, the stampede that resulted shows the drones' efficacy in another terror tactic of causing panic disproportionate to the actual damage inflicted. And it doesn't take much to cause more serious damage; last summer, a commercial drone briefly knocked out power for more than a thousand people when it crashed into an electricity wire in California.
Top U.S. officials, including FBI Director Christopher Wray, have warned that America is vulnerable. Washington, D.C., for example, has what Department of Homeland Security officials have called "the most tightly controlled airspace in the country"; it's illegal to fly drones anywhere in the District. And yet: In 2015, an off-duty government employee managed to crash a drone onto the White House lawn. Last November, a man was able to fly a drone over one football stadium and near another in California, with the aim of dropping political leaflets, despite legal prohibitions against flying drones near such events. (He was arrested and charged with a misdemeanor.) Cathy Lanier, the senior vice president and chief security officer for the National Football League, who also served as Washington, D.C.'s chief of police from 2007 to 2017, said that the ability to curb the threat of commercial drones "is very limited right now. The problem is that the popularity is growing exponentially … How do you identify the nefarious actor from the hobbyist?"
Drone swarms are going to be terrifying and hard to stop
Jaz Banga, the CEO and cofounder of Airspace Systems, a firm that works on air security to counter rogue drones, said "there's really no comprehensive protection right now across the U.S." Drones have to be registered to fly—and attach identifiers akin to a license plate—but it can be difficult to discern them in the air. Like the drone that crashed on the White House lawn, they can be too small or too low to spot with radar. And though the technology now exists to identify who is operating a commercial drone, drone operators are not yet required to use it. In the event that a rogue drone is detected, it's generally illegal to shoot it down; ditto with jamming the radio or Wi-Fi signal controlling it, as the Venezuelans apparently did. And if law enforcement did so anyway, it could pose risks to civilians on the ground. The Federal Aviation Administration is working on rules to require identification; other defense measures would require changes to the law.
"The technology is ahead of the regulation," said Brendan Schulman, the vice president of policy and legal affairs at the drone company DJI. While it's still unclear who exactly was behind the alleged attack in Venezuela, government authorities have pointed to a DJI model as a culprit. "The overwhelming majority of drones are flown safely and responsibly and are not a threat," Schulman said. DJI is among a number of companies, including Banga's, that are working with the FAA to develop rules around drone safety. The risk for the United States—and countries with significantly less sophisticated control over their airspace—is that it won't happen fast enough to stop an attack. Banga noted that in the course of that work, he hears a common refrain: "I'm surprised it hasn't happened in the U.S. yet."

Fredericton Library Goes Electric
Bread 'n Molasses editor, Kellie Underhill, will participate in a "Read an eBook Week" event being held at the Fredericton Public Library on Wednesday, March 9th.
"Electronic publishing is really catching on," Underhill says. "I'm excited to have the opportunity to help educate people about the many advantages and possibilities involved in online publications like Bread 'n Molasses and blogs."
The Fredericton library is celebrating the week with discussions, readings by local eAuthors, and a free hands-on computer workshop introducing participants to the world of eBooks and how to publish online.
Underhill is participating in a New Brunswick eAuthors Reading sponsored by the library on Wednesday, March 9th.
The evening begins at 7 p.m. on the second floor of the library, with a discussion of eBooks, eZines, blogs and other forms of electronic publishing and the impact of eBooks on the future of reading.
Readings by Underhill, Joe Blades, Biff Mitchell, and Nela Rio will follow the discussion.
A Miramichier, Underhill is also the editor of the Writers' Federation of New Brunswick's quarterly newsletter, NB Ink and writes fiction in her spare time.
Joe Blades is an artist whose poetry collections include River Suite (Insomniac Press) and Casemate Poems (Widows & Orphans). He is also Publisher of Fredericton-based Broken Jaw Press.
Biff Mitchell, of Fredericton, is the author of several novels including Heavy Load (eBookAd) and The War Bug (Double Dragon). He is also the international spokesperson for Read an eBook Week 2005.
Also of Fredericton, Nela Rio is an Argentine-Canadian author and artist who has published numerous books and eBooks including The Space of Light / El espacio de la luz (Broken Jaw Press).
"eBooks are gaining popularity around the world but are still relatively unknown in Fredericton. Our two evenings of events will help to change that," says Leslie Cockburn of the Fredericton Public Library.
On Friday March 11th at 7 p.m. in the library's computer lab, Biff Mitchell will host a virtual tour and workshop on the world of eBooks. The tour will explore websites that offer free eBooks, websites of authors and publishers and websites for readers. Mitchell will also demonstrate step-by-step how to create, publish, distribute and market eBooks.
"Publishing eBooks isn't just for writers," Mitchell says. "A family could publish a summer vacation photos and stories eBook on the family website to be downloaded by friends around the world. A group of students could publish an eBook as a fund-raising project and sell it online."
Both events are free to attend. The tour/workshop is limited to 16 participants, so pre-registration is required. To register, or for further information, please telephone the Fredericton Public Library at (506) 460-2800.
Read an eBook Week, which takes place annually during the second week of March, was started by Canadian author Rita Toews.

MCTDH stands for Multi Configuration Time Dependent Hartree. MCTDH is a general algorithm to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for multidimensional dynamical systems consisting of distinguishable particles. MCTDH can thus determine the quantal motion of the nuclei of a molecular system evolving on one or several coupled electronic potential energy surfaces. MCTDH by its very nature is an approximate method. However, it can be made as accurate as any competing method, but its numerical efficiency deteriorates with growing accuracy. For more details see MCTDH.
In order to use MCTDH on Kogence free supercomputing platform, you can either fork and modify an existing MCTDH public project or alternatively you can also start from scratch and create a new MCTDH project. See detailed instructions below.
Kogence hosts 30+ public MCTDH projects. See the list at the bottom of this page or click here. Click on any of the projects you like to open the associated "project dashboard". Here you can see the detailed description of the model. This is also a WYSIWYG editable page. Feel free to edit the description as you like by clicking at several "edit" links next to each section title on the page.

Everton still lay blame on Liverpool for Euro Ban.
The Daily Mail report that Everton play Russian champs Zenit St Petersburg at Goodison tonight and in the pre-game preamble manager David Moyes has confessed that Everton are still struggling under the shadow of Heysel, when English clubs were banned from Europe, and Everton were champions.
Everton, still under Heysel's shadow, or flailing for excuses?


At Blizzcon last week, Blizzard announced Moira, the dark medic support character that is now playable on the Playable Test Realm.
Last week, Dan Tack got his hands on Moira and reported back from Blizzcon. This week, all the playable test realm players get can try out her DPS for themselves.
It isn't quite known when Moira will get released for all players, but she will have to go through quite a lot of hands-on testing before Blizzard feels comfortable releasing the character out of balancing. Check out the reveal trailer for Moira below and let us know what you think of the new villain so far.


Romanticism again and again! In autumn 1979, Michael Ende's novel The Neverending Story was published in the Federal Republic of Germany. Even to Ende's contemporaries, Bastian's journey to Fantastica and back seemed to be the beginning of a revitalization of romantic longings and ideas within popular culture. Almost at the same time, US-American cinema discovers the genre of fantasy film. The motif of Campbell's hero's journey, a world that needs healing and the interconnectedness of all things becomes a constitutive trait of these films' poetics.

Q: MVC checkbox event in grid I am a new bee in MVC world. I have a scenario like, i have an grid with a checkboxs as one column. When i click on checkbox an event would fire and it would update some values in database.
I am using Razor engine.

        ID

        PName

        PDescription

        PSerialNo

        PPrice

        PActive

@foreach (var item in Model)
{

            @item.ID

            @Html.ActionLink(@item.PName, "Edit", new { id = @item.ID })

            @item.PDescription

            @item.PSerialNo

            @String.Format("{0:c}", item.PPrice)

            @Html.CheckBox("chkActiveItem", item.PActive)

}

here the content is showed in the grid. Here when i click on this check box i want to update the flag in the database.
How will i do it?
Please help.

A: foreach doesn't work in this case. You need to use for loop and then changes will get picked up on server side on post.
if you want to do ajax call then simply store id of each item within its row and pass that as parameter during ajax call to identify checked item on server side.


- Drawn from an Age of kings and legends, our lady of the Lake Pendant captures the essence of the supernatural queen Nimue (sometimes identified as Vivienne or Morgan le Fay), gliding across the dark waters to deliver Excalibur to King Arthur. The detail in this piece is simply incredible, from the queen's royal crown, right down to the enchanted swan boat she travels in. If you love history and the Arthurian tales, you will find this necklace irresistible.
The dark background behind the silver is actually lava rock. This is a porous natural substance that is ideal for on-the-go aromatherapy. Simply place a drop or two of essential oil or fragrance oil on the lava rock, where it will be instantly absorbed. Then, as you go through your day, the aroma from the oils is released, uplifting you with its therapeutic effects. Beautiful as well as functional: what's not to love!
Do you have any other questions about our Silver Lady of the Lake Pendant?

People setting out to pursue a career in the quantitative trading industry won't always know what questions they should be asking of prospective employers. As a result, they are susceptible to making a mistake in choosing their first job. That mistake could lead to later giving up on the industry, when in fact you may be well suited for success. Without experience, it is easy to make an error; but I want to provide some guidance to help you avoid some common pitfalls.
Here's a checklist of key structural questions you'll want to understand before choosing your first firm. These questions will help you understand how well you'll be able to learn and grow in a given company. You'll want to learn and grow throughout your entire career, but it is especially important at the beginning when you have the least experience.
Ideally, for each of these seven questions you'll want your first company's answer to be "no". "Yes" answers indicate additional challenges for you as you build your career. "Yes" answers don't necessarily indicate a bad job, but they do indicate additional layers of risk. Below the list, I've provided some additional context.
Are brainteasers, gambling, poker, or mental math questions used in the interview process?
Will you have a 2 year noncompete?
Will you be blocked from accessing any part of the source code?
As a researcher, will you be the primary on-call trader monitoring any live trading processes?
Will you be blocked from viewing the PnL of any strategies that utilize your research?
Are strategy parameters manually changed based on judgment calls during the day?
Are there other employees in the company in direct competition with you?
Are brainteasers, gambling, poker, or mental math questions used in the interview?
If a company asks these types of questions, it is potentially a sign they value manual, non-automated trader intuition and decision making more than quantitative, algorithmic, and research-driven approaches. If your background is quantitative, you will want a company that will value those skills the most highly. At 'trader'-centric firms, quants have less influence over the trading strategy and more limited career prospects.
Will you have a 2 year (or greater) noncompete?
Non-compete agreements are a fact of life for quants working in the trading industry, but the lengths of those agreements vary widely (the standard term is one year). Non-competes exist to help protect the intellectual property you'll be developing. However, one year should be sufficient to protect your work. Longer terms can sometimes be designed not to protect the company as much as to limit the employee's career options. Even if you join a good company, there's always a chance of ending up in a weak team, or with an inexperienced manager, being paid unfairly, or simply not fitting in perfectly. With a 2 year noncompete, other companies may be much less willing to hire you.
Some companies encrypt or password-protect parts of their source code. This goes beyond taking adequate steps to protect proprietary property, like securing an internal filesystem from external intruders or preventing employees from copying files off the company network- these companies even prevent their own full-time employees from seeing parts of the existing codebase. To people outside the industry the idea of encryption might sound sufficiently strange that they wouldn't think to ask. However, it is actually quite common in quantitative trading firms. Having parts of the source code blocked limits your ability to learn, collaborate with coworkers, and make an impact.
Companies that highly value research will have separate dedicated operations and trading teams to handle the majority of the routine day-to-day tasks of running and monitoring an automated trading system.
At some companies, often those with roots as floor traders or click traders, or those that struggle to manage unstable operations processes, 'quant traders' are expected to do both research and operations. While this might seem exciting at first, monitoring live trading, monitoring system health, and ensuring system functionality is a full time responsibility and will severely reduce your time available to concentrate and do high quality research.
Will you be blocked from viewing the PnL (revenue) of any strategies that utilize your research?
One of the main attractions of working in trading is the fast feedback you get on your research. You can think of an idea, implement the idea, and then see the results within a few days. This tight feedback loop compares favorably to, say, a Physics department, where a single idea could take years to validate. However, some companies separate alpha signal researchers from strategy developers. If you're separated from the trading PnL, then you can't get real-time feedback. Companies might do this to prevent their secrets from leaking out easily, but there are plenty of successful companies that trust their employees and encourage loyalty in other ways.
It's almost impossible to do proper statistical analysis of your ideas on historic data if 'click-traders' are tweaking parameters, because you can't model the human element. That kind of company is a good place to be a 'click-trader' – not a quant.
Okay, final question! This is important to ask, because some companies have employees or teams directly competing with each other so that the company is diversified in its revenue streams. But for your career, you want your company to invest fully in you. If there are competing teams, you don't know whether you'll end up on one that eventually wins- or loses. There will also be fewer opportunities to learn from others; you don't get the benefit of collaboration with the widest group of other quants. Finally, this type of structure tends to foster a cut-throat, 'zero-sum-game' culture.
I hope you can get clear 'yes' or 'no' answers on all 7 of these questions from all your prospective employers. Consider a vague or indirect answer as a 'yes'. Don't let yourself be persuaded just because you're less informed than you will be later in your career. Finally, it is never a bad idea to double check with friends or classmates that are now in the quantitative trading industry. Forewarned, you can avoid these 7 problems that I've seen through my friends' experiences, and get to work on the fascinating problems tackled in quantitative trading.

Defense helps Alabama top Mississippi All-Stars again
Published 6:24 pm Saturday, December 10, 2016
By Jake Thompson
Mississippi's Kylin Hill scores in the second quarter as he dives into the end zone past Alabama's Kholbe Coleman (45) and Marcus Jones (26) in the Mississippi-Alabama All-Star game Saturday at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala. The Alabama All-Stars won 25-14. (Jake Thompson)
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — All eyes were on the offense of Mississippi heading into Saturday's Mississippi-Alabama All-Star game, but the focus should have been on the defensive front of Alabama instead. The host state's team dominated up front, leading the way for a 25-14 Alabama victory at the Cramton Bowl. It was the eighth win in the past nine games for Alabama, which now holds a 22-8 lead in the series dating back to 1988.
Alabama's defense got to Mississippi quarterbacks Myles Brennan of St. Stanislaus and Northwest Rankin's Braden Smith for a total of 4.5 sacks. Brennan was sacked once while Smith was hit for a total of three.
"Any time you play in an all-star game, you're going to get the best that they've got," Mississippi and Oxford center Colton Skidmore said. "Coming out here against some d-linemen, it was good competiton."
The potential for the scoreboard to be lit up often was proven right on the very first play. Alabama's Henry Ruggs III of Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery took the opening kickoff 90 yards for the touchdown and a 7-0 Alabama lead just 15 seconds into the game.
The scoring was held in check the rest of the opening quarter, but Alabama kicker Jake Lane of Park Crossing High School, also in Montgomery, converted a 38-yard field goal for the 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
Mississippi finally knocked the zero off the scoreboard late in the first half when Columbus running back Kylin Hill capped a 12-play, 70-yard drive with a 9-yard run to cut Alabama's lead to 10-7 with a little under 3 minutes left in the second quarter.
Alabama worked their two-minute offense down to the Mississippi 22-yard line, and Lane knocked his second field goal in of the game, this one from 32 yards out to give Alabama the 13-7 lead at halftime.
Mississippi earned their first and only lead of the game when defensive back Kam White of Clinton picked off an errant pass from Alabama's Leslie Thompson for a 49-yard pick-six and a 14-13 Mississippi lead 3 minutes into the second half.
"The quarterback rolled out and I saw he didn't have many options," White said of the throw. "He just threw it up and I saw it and just had to go get it. … I told Myles I was going to get one before the week gets out, but I didn't get to get him. This pick was much sweeter."
The final 12 minutes of the game were forgettable for Mississippi starting with a 38-yard field goal by Lane 54 seconds into it for a 16-14 Alabama lead. The following Mississippi possession compounded things as the snap to punter Thomas Stevens of New Hope sailed through his hands and out of the back of the end zone for an Alabama safety and expanded their lead to four points with 9:33 remaining. Alabama would later ice the game off a 13-yard run by running back Brian Robinson of Hillcrest High School out of Tuscaloosa with 3:07 left in the game for the winning margin.
"That's one thing Alabama always has is big, physical guys up front," Mississippi and Wayne County head coach Todd Mangum said. "They always do a good job of rushing the passer, and they play hard up front. It didn't catch us by surprise. … It's an all-star game and you're limited on both sides of the ball with what you can do. It comes down to execution."
Stars stuffed
It was not banner performances for top Mississippi recruits in Brennan and Clinton running back Cam Akers. Brennan threw for 59 yards on 11 of 15 passing and was responsible for the only fumble of the game. Akers, one of the top players in Mississippi and the country, was held to less than 100 yards as he piled up 65 on 19 carries. He completed 2 of 3 passes for 45 yards but threw one interception.

Anybody who knows me knows that I don't watch much tv really; just a few shows and then just some re-runs of a few classic sitcoms to give me background noise while I work. One of my favourite shows out there though is The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch on CNBC. If you don't know who Donny Deutsch is – get familiar.
Donny occasionally invites music moguls on the show (Clive Davis, Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, etc) to discuss their rise in business, their current and upcoming ventures and etc. He recently had Hov on the show and since I've got this blog up now, I thought I'd share this clip with you.

J Patrick Boyle (Jono Boyle) is a British artist whose practice is a hybrid of appropriated imagery, collected memorabilia, song lyrics and other cultural debris. Jono will be part of the International Weird Collage Show, our 14th exhibition, to be held in London on February 1st, 2018.
Hi, I'm Jono, I'm Irish though I was born in and have lived most of my life in the UK, and currently live in Athens, Greece. I have been making art and doing creative projects for as long as I can remember.
I have never considered myself a 'collage artist' as I produce work across multiple mediums, but what I do do is use found objects/images in nearly all my art, so work in a very 'collage' way.
Collage is usually seen as 'adding to' e.g. taking an image and adding part of another image to it, at the moment I am very interested in subtraction, my piece 'Untitled (Facsimile Of The Future)' is a reworking of the Barbara Kruger piece 'Untitled (I Shop Therefore I Am)' simply with the text removed. It's a stretch to see this as a collage, but whether I add to or subtract from it's one in the same for me – I am playing with the associations that are attached to the found images.
My piece 'You Won't Remember The Things I'll Never Forget' could be called a collage, as I've cut out a white circle from the reverse of a magazine page and pasted it over a found image. But what I have really done is subtract the man who dominated the image and 'détourne' it so we now focus on the female, who of course was very much just there originally just to support the man. This fascinates me as I have not changed her in any way, but now we can see things (she has an amazing expression) that we would have totally missed before. This is what fascinates me about using found images and about collage, this revealing of deeper/hidden/dismissed truths that already exist just aren't seen.
– How does music and popular culture a inform your work?
I don't know why but I am very drawn to popular culture (music being a huge part of popular culture). I guess it is why some people are drawn to paint landscapes, and others abstract art, it's just what resonates with me. Maybe it is my background? I was a DJ and promoted club nights since the very early 90s and, though I've always drawn and been creative (designing and making t-shirts etc) from a very early age, my journey to being an artist was really started by designing flyers and flyposters. Particularly flyposters, as they share the same space in a city that street art does, and my designs always had an ambiguity to them that was more than their function 'an art element' if you like.
I'm also drawn to 'low art'; xeroxed posters, zines, etc and they are the common currency of popular culture (at least pre-Facebook) and I really believe that there is as much beauty and truth in a line from a pop song as there is in a great oil painting. Lines in pop songs aren't often held up as great art, or even as useful to show us something, but they can be, and by presenting them in a different way this can be revealed.
– Paint, print, collage… How do these techniques interact with each other in your work? What´s common in all of them that define the core identity of your work?
The common is the collaging (associating) of ideas and cultural memes to produce something new but something that directly references their original sources but reveals something new about them that them reveals something previously un-acknowledged about ourselves and/or our world.
So if I work in print, for example, I will still combine existing elements. The print 'Too Much Too Young (The Vanity of Hope)' combines a section from 'The Raft of the Medusa' with the title of a song by The Specials, and it is how these two very disparate things interplay that fascinates me and is the real power of the piece.
Often the techniques will be mixed, so for a series called 'You Might Stop The Future, But You Can't Stop The Party' I collaged found images (that I had already xeroxed) then produced a blue screenprint from the result, then collaged other found elements over this, then reprinted the original screen, but in black ink. Then once again collaged over this, sometimes also adding oil-stick or pencil marks. But once again, it is all the same to me, I am simply combining pre-existing elements as I see fit to create the piece I want.
– When making collage, how do you select your source material? Is there any special era that you especially like to work with?
I am very much interested in the recent past, especially in terms of pop-culture, we discard the past really quickly and at the same time live in some sort of blinkered worldview that our present is oh so unique and important, yet history shows us that it's not. Using source materials from the recent past helps to reveal this as their original sources can still be remembered.
I am also very much interested in the associations the found images carry with them, so there are a lot of images, particularly older ones, that don't have these attachments for me so I don't use them. I also intensely dislike nostalgia; again, because it infers some fake temporal superiority – 'life was so much simpler in the 50s, I want some art on my wall from that era' so stay clear of source materials which imply this too much.
Good question; it is usual to think of cut and paste paper works as collage, but or me collage is simply the combining of existing media. Existing media is usually found items (magazine images and other such ephemera etc) but could really be anything. I guess what I'm getting at, not very succinctly, is it's making art from things that already exist. So the choice to display two found images side by side is as much collage as anything made by cutting and pasting bits of found images on to one another, at least for me it very much is.
Also, collage is often thought of a funny or whimsical, and thus not really serious. Of course, a lot of collage is, the juxtaposition of the combined elements lends itself to this very easily, but it important to be aware that collage can also be a hugely powerful medium; Peter Kennard's very direct montages for example, or the eerie power of lots of John Stezaker's work.
I guess it is the same problem art in general has, lots of it is simply pretty, but truly great art surpasses this and reveals things no other medium can. And I love collage as not only do we get the visual combination of images to play with, they can also carry with them the associations from their original sources which can add further meaning to the work created – in a sense, one can collage ideas as well as images.
Ha ha, with the growth of digital media the boundaries between collage and originally generated art will probably blur past the point of recognition. Digitally painting including 'found' digital imagery will become so easy to produce and so seamless that will it really be collage anymore? And the move to consuming digital media at the expense of printed media is of course massively decreasing the pool of source material future collage artists will have access to. Plus who will think of cutting and pasting images from magazines when there aren't any magazines anymore? But, of course, as with all past technological changes, art will also change and will still thrive, pre-existing ideas and images will still be combined, it just might not be called collage anymore, and who gives a damn what it's called so long as it still captivates the viewers!

After Paul Stutzman lost his wife to breast cancer, he sensed a tug on his heart--the call to a challenge, the call to pursue a dream. With a mixture of dread and determination, Paul left his job, traveled to Georgia, and took his first steps on the Appalachian Trail. What he learned during the next four and a half months changed his life--and can change yours as well.
In Hiking Through, you'll join Paul on his remarkable 2,176-mile trip through fourteen states in search of peace and a renewed sense of purpose. Along the way, you'll meet fascinating and funny people, experience trail magic, and discover that every choice we make on the path has consequences for the journey. More than that, you'll come away with a new understanding of God's grace and guidance--even in the smallest things.
I read too much fiction. I admit that. And all too often when I pick up a non-fiction book, I have to force myself to read it. That didn't happen with this book. Just like some of the suspense novels I enjoy so much, once I started reading this book, I did not want to put it down.
The author talks a lot about his adventures on the trail and of many of the different and unique people he met while hiking the Appalachian Trail, and reading about it almost made me want to experience it. But the book is also about the spiritual journey he made while taking the physical hike. That part of the book really ministered to me and made me envious to know God like that. The author presents a good point that we have so much distracting us from God. He told a story of a young hiker listening to his Ipod that kept walking, unaware that a storm was approaching and his hiking companion had sought shelter, but he walked on, paying attention to only what he was listening to.
This is a book worth reading. I have never married, so I can't relate to his losing his wife to cancer, and I have no great desire to hike 2000 + miles, but the book was an enjoyable and convicting read, and I recommend it to anyone to read.
Paul Stutzman is a former restaurant manager who left his career after his wife's death from breast cancer. He hiked the Appalachian Trail in search of peace, healing, and freedom. His passion and mission is to share what he learned on that remarkable journey. Paul grew up in the Mennonite church. When he is not hiking or on a cross-country bike ride he makes his home in Berlin, Ohio.

Thanks to Revell for the review copy.
I don't read much non-fiction either, but this sounds like one I should pick up. I'm not a hiker, but stories os people hiking the Appalachian trail somehow appeal to me.
