Club Provides Place for Yankton Youth Programs
This fall, youth in Yankton were ecstatic as the Boys & Girls Club of Yankton opened the doors of the new club for the first time.
"It was an exciting day to celebrate not only the Boys & Girls Club but also the community of Yankton, kids and the many investors in kids that have helped to make this happen," Yankton Middle School Principal Todd Dvoracek said.
The 25,000 square foot facility, located next to Yankton Middle School, serves youth in two separate programs: The Academy, which is a licensed school based, childcare program at Stewart and St. Ben's Elementary school, and The Traditional Club, which is a drop in, recreational program located near the Middle School.
"The biggest benefit for the students is to be in a safe, positive place with positive role models," Dvoracek said.
"Inside of both programs, the mission is to inspire and enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to realize their full potential as responsible, productive and caring citizens."
The Academy provides a structured program before and after school for youth aged 5-12. The Traditional Club is for youth in the First through 12th grade with programming focused on academic success, healthy lifestyles and character & leadership.
Programs run year-round with the Academy serving about 140 youth a day and the Traditional Club serving more than 100. Attendees have the opportunity to take part in a variety of programs and participate in outdoor activities.
"The kids have been excited, shocked at the change in facility and grateful," Dvoracek said. "It has been fun to listen to the kids be thankful for such a nice place, a place to be with their friends and to get homework help."
The school district, city, county, businesses and individuals made the Club possible and demonstrated their care for kids and families in Yankton. The project brought many people together for its mission.
"This would not be possible without the support of the school district, community members, businesses and local organizations," Dvoracek said.
"The Boys & Girls Club of Yankton is growing and striving to serve more youth, more often."

Q: How to build a vscode extension to embed Google Tasks web page into a vscode panel? I'm thinking about building a vscode extension for Google Tasks. It seems to me the easiest approach is just to embed the Google Tasks website into a webview in vscode. It is my first time developing a vscode extension, I need some pointers on how to do it.
I think these are the problems I need to think through:

*

*How to embed a working website in a webview in vscode?

*How to deal with authentications for Google Tasks?

*How to tweak the CSS to match the vscode theme?

*How to intercept the keyboard events to rebind Google Tasks shortcuts in vscode?

Thanks!

I've just finished reading Learning for Action by Peter Checkland and John Poulter (2006). The book is an introduction to Soft Systems Methodology, or SSM for short. Now I've read the book I have an understanding of what SSM is, how it might be used and why it would be useful. I'm not about to run out and do any SSM but I now know when I might find it useful.
The book is well written and short – always a positive feature, although a little on the expensive side. It is intended more for students than the casual readers but this doesn't get in the way. I think I made the right choice by starting with this SSM book rather than any other.
So, why did I read it? Two reasons really. First I've been talking about "Systems thinking" with some people and was wondering "How do you do it?" so I wanted to know more. SSM is itself a form of systems thinking. Second, I'd come across references to SSM on several occasions in the past and always meant to go back and read up on it so this was my chance.
Normally I run a mile from anything that claims to be a Big-M Methodology but on this occasion I'm quite impressed. I think this is because SSM is very self-aware and the authors know the dangers of Methodology. The roots of SSM are in Systems Engineering and related fields like Operational Research, the authors respect these fields but it was through recognising the limits on these techniques that SSM came to be.
Having read this I hope to have the opportunity to get involved with an SSM exercise in the not too distant future.


tucked-in-pajamas \(´▽`)/ : I Miss My 6 o'clock Habit!!!
I Miss My 6 o'clock Habit!!!
I don't mind the aftermath… though it's your birthday and if I'm making it special or burdensome. Selfish here!!!
I always think that I'm having the time of my life. I've never looked forward to going to work so much every day. I love it; it's great. It's how you make me feel whenever you're just there at 6 o'clock visit and even the hours before and after.
I think you can get the wrong impression about me from work and think I'm always a bit masungit. I'm not that way at all. I'm fun-loving. But just so afraid to letting it shows especially to you that I have a crush on.
Given my clumsy nature and amazing ability to say the wrong thing at the perfect moment chances are when we DO date, I will have a stain on my shirt. My hair will be messy and so I'm afraid to make you feel unhappy.
And how I wish I could say my plead to please don't get tired of me like how I always suspect you to be every working day, will you still be visiting my station every chance you can get or when you're on stop work? And counting the days has passed of your consistent visits it has been more than a month now. No, almost two months since you glanced me with those eye smiles. And I hate you for making me get used to it because since Thursday you're now on your mid shift!!! I think you purposely did all those for me to be this straight forward. You stopped from texting me like the usual though you still say your HIs' when I came in the office and you're on your perfect time to leave. Oh darn those hanged moments!
During the weekends you're the most trending topic in my head that my only choice of avoiding is to sleep at least a complete 5-8 hours straight. You're the very reason why I visit again the spa just to appear prepared for you. My nails are now all polished plus my skin is layered with lotion so when we touch you'll know I'm taking good care of myself. Plus I find you very keen to details like you'll read everything in my computer or the words written on my shirt. I like it that you're paying attention but one thing I hate is you finding me obvious with my blushing but sarrehhh~ I'm not your easy girl.
And so I'm afraid you'll be gone any time… I'm hurting inside that I can't even say the words I wish to say when you're all being sincere and I'm just being my childish self, diverting the topics to less serious stuffs. I felt friendzoned now that you started feeling bored. I can't blame you. Even my friends are calling me insensitive and acting all maarte in this most awaited love life in the making of mine because all I can share about is my growing feelings for you so all of them now feels the same way as you. Auhhgg! They're now tired encouraging me to just fall in love and risk then TRY!
In our get together you're their most awaited guest in soonest time and I also hope you can meet those good friends who only wish me to be happy in love at last.
I hate this feeling of regret that these episodes of love in the making are here again. But I hate it this time to happen… When I sincerely find you now very cute (well you are!) and malambing!?! I want things to stay the same but I'm not very sure with how you're feeling now. I'm a total mood wrecker in our every conversation and never put a little effort to also cheer you up, to hang out with you in almost a middle of sleep. I'm so sorry~ I hope I can be the person you'll wish to end up with but today I'm still not. If we can just wait with no pressure then let's see where this push and pull relationship will take us. Like I miss you bebe kong mahal~~~~~ I wish to hug you on this day and just open up my feelings without holding back but there you are not the same as before because of my own wrong moves. Hope you understand that I'm puzzled! I'm not being my real self because you are different from the rest I came to know. One thing I can be sure of that you're not a friend, not a mere officemate... and not anymore the crush I used to include in my jokes with playful officemates. You've reached the point where I'm letting you know that I like you to be in my life, for always if possible.
I feel like crying with this cake!!!

Ay, más átírásban Aj, Eje, uralkodói nevén Heperheperuré (ur.: kb. i. e. 1324 – i. e. 1319) az ókori Egyiptom XVIII. dinasztiájának utolsó előtti fáraója. Nem volt vér szerinti rokona a dinasztia előző uralkodóinak; feltételezett családi kapcsolatai révén sorolják még ide (a legelterjedtebb elméletek szerint III. Amenhotep főfelesége, Tije királyné a testvére volt, Ehnaton felesége, Nofertiti pedig a leánya). Az előző fáraók alatt egyre magasabb pozíciót töltött be; közvetlen elődje, a gyermekként trónra lépett Tutanhamon helyett gyakorlatilag ő kormányzott (Horemhebbel együtt).

Családi háttere
Ay nem királyi családba született. Családja feltehetően Ahmím városából származott, mert uralkodása alatt Ay építtetett ott egy sziklába vájt kápolnát a helyi istennek, Minnek. Valószínűleg Juja és Tuja fia volt, így III. Amenhotep fáraó főfeleségének, Tije királynénak, valamint Anen főpapnak a testvére. Juja, aki feltehetőleg nem egyiptomi származású volt, Min papja és jószágainak felügyelője volt Ahmímban, befolyásos nemesember, aki abban a ritka kegyben részesült, hogy a Királyok Völgyében építtethetett sírt magának.

Lehetséges, hogy Ay lánya volt Nofertiti, Ehnaton felesége. Ay egyik címe, az it-netjer ("isteni atya" vagy "az isten atyja") utalhat arra is, hogy a fáraó apósa volt, de lehet pusztán egy papi cím is. (A címet szintén viselte apja, Juja, akinek lánya, Tije III. Amenhotep fáraó főfelesége volt.) Ay feleségét, Tejét az Ehnaton uralkodása alatt készült feliratokon "a királyné dajkája"-ként említik, sehol nem utalnak arra, hogy ő lett volna Nofertiti anyja, így ha a királyné valóban Ay lánya volt, annak egy előző házasságából születhetett. Ay lánya, Mutbenret korábbi feltételezés szerint azonos Horemheb fáraó későbbi feleségével, Mutnedzsmettel.

Az Amarna-korban
Ay az elejétől fogva támogatta Ehnaton reformjait, melyben a fáraó többek közt megkísérelte bevezetni az egyistenhitet. Követte az újonnan épült fővárosba, Ahet-Atonba (ma: Tell el-Amarna) is, ahol sírt is építtetett magának. Érdekesség, hogy ebben a sírban maradt fenn a valószínűleg Ehnaton által írt Aton-himnusz.Tutanhamon uralkodása alatt
Ehnaton és a rövid ideig uralkodó Szemenhkaré után trónra kerülő Tutanhamon kilenc- vagy tízéves volt megkoronázásakor, így a tényleges uralmat nem ő gyakorolta, hanem Ehnaton két legfőbb tanácsadója, Ay vezír és Horemheb tábornok. Az ő irányításuk alatt Egyiptom kezdett visszatérni az Amarna-reformok előtti időkhöz, a régi papságok visszakapták hatalmukat, a templomokat felújították, a királyi udvar elhagyta Ahet-Atont.

Az, hogy az ifjú fáraót egymás után Ay, majd Horemheb követte a trónon, sok spekulációra adott okot, főleg, mivel Tutanhamon koponyasérülései alapján lehetségesnek tartják, hogy erőszakos halált halt, épp amikor már elég idős volt ahhoz, hogy átvegye a kormányzást. Nem tűnik azonban valószínűnek, hogy Ay bántani akarta volna az ifjú fáraót, aki annak a dinasztiának az utolsó tagja volt, amelyet ő nemzedékeken át hűen szolgált, és aki valószínűleg a rokona is volt. Az sem túl valószínű, hogy az egyébként is ingatag politikai helyzetben – feszültség a régi és az új vallás hívei közt, külpolitikai fenyegetettség a külügyek évtizedeken át tartó elhanyagolása és a szövetségesek cserbenhagyása miatt – Horemheb megkísérelte volna a legitim uralkodó eltávolításával fokozni a bizonytalanságot. A legutóbbi kutatások szerint az egyébként is törékeny szervezetű Tutanhamon halálát baleset okozta. Sírjának falfestményein Ay végzi a szájmegnyitás szertartását, melyet a hagyomány szerint a fáraó utódjának kellett végeznie. Nem tudni, miért követte Tutanhamont Ay a trónon, mikor Horemhebet már Tutanhamon idejében kinevezték "a Két Föld ura helyettesének", és feltehetőleg Tutanhamon kijelölt örököse volt arra az esetre, ha a fáraó utód nélkül halna meg. Lehetséges, hogy Ay és Anheszenamon tervet szőttek, hogy Horemheb ne kerülhessen trónra – a hettita levelekben, melyet Anheszenamon írt Szuppiluliuma királynak, annak egyik fiát kérve férjül, a királyné említi, hogy nem szeretne egy szolgája felesége lenni. A szolga kifejezés sokkal inkább takarhatta Horemhebet, mint a királyi családdal rokoni kapcsolatban álló Ayt. Ha Horemhebet így, csellel tartották távol a tróntól, az azt is megmagyarázza, miért igyekezett Horemheb később kitörölni Ay nevét a történelemből.

Uralkodása
Ay uralkodása – ahogy Tutanhamoné is, aminek ő állt a hátterében – a restauráció jegyében zajlott. Az ország fokozatosan visszatért a régi istenekhez, de anélkül, hogy elpusztította volna Ehnaton templomait és műemlékeit. A rombolás csak később, Horemheb uralkodása alatt vette kezdetét.

Máig vitatott, hogy Ay uralma törvényesítése érdekében feleségül vette-e Tutanhamon özvegyét, Anheszenamont. Az egyetlen tárgyi bizonyíték a házasságra egy gyűrű, amelyen Ay és Anheszenamon neve szerepel; a gyűrű azonban jelenthet társuralkodást is, nemcsak házasságot.

A kérdést eldönteni látszik Ay sírjában a falfestmény, amely a fáraót és feleségét ábrázolja. A neveket ugyan kitörölték, de a női alak feletti kártus akkora, hogy Teje neve elférne benne, Anheszenamoné viszont nem. Egyesek szerint ez utalhat arra is, hogy Anheszenamon meghalt, de az elhunyt sírjában szokás volt ábrázolni a korábban elhunyt családtagokat is. Valószínűbb, hogy Anheszenamon sosem volt Ay felesége; annál is inkább, mivel Teje viselte a "nagy királyi feleség" címet, és nehezen hihető, hogy egy alacsonyabb származású nő viselte volna ezt a címet, ha az előkelőbb születésű Anheszenamon is Ay felesége lett volna.

Mivel idős emberként került a trónra, Aynak természetesen első dolga volt sírkamráról gondoskodni. Sírja, mely ma a Nyugati Völgy 23. sorszámot viseli, eredetileg Tutanhamoné lett volna, de nem készült el az ifjú fáraó haláláig. A kamra, amelyben a szarkofág van, erős Amarna-hatást mutat, mert falfestményei hétköznapi jeleneteket mutatnak (Ay és felesége, Teje vízilóvadászaton vannak), és az ilyesmi nem volt szokásban királyi sírkamráknál. Ay szarkofágja még az ókorban elpusztult, és a falfestmények is megrongálódtak. Medinet Habuban építtetett halotti templomát Horemheb később kisajátította.

Ay egy Nahtmin nevű katonatisztet választott örökösének, amint az látszik Nahtmin és felesége egy szobrán, mely Ay uralkodása alatt készülhetett. Nahtmin itt a "koronaherceg" (repat) és "a király fia" (sza neszu) címeket viseli. Aidan Dodson és Dyan Hilton megjegyzik, hogy az említett szobor törött azon a helyen, ahol olvasható lenne, hogy valóban "a király fia" cím áll-e rajta, vagy a hasonló "kúsi királyfi" cím, mely Núbia alkirályának szokásos címe volt, de mivel Nahtmint sehol máshol nem említik alkirályként – ezt a pozíciót abban az időben egy Paszer nevű ember töltötte be – valószínűleg trónörökösi pozícióban volt. Ezt bizonyítja az is, hogy Ay emlékével együtt Nahtminét is igyekeztek kitörölni később.

Nahtmin egyik sztéléjén (Berlin 2074) elkészültének dátuma "Ay uralmának 4. éve, Akhet 4. hónapjának 1. napja", tehát Ay több mint három évig uralkodott.

Halála után
Horemheb minden nyomát megpróbálta eltüntetni az Amarna-reformoknak, még elődei nevét is igyekezett kitörölni a történelemből, magát közvetlenül III. Amenhotep utódjának tüntetve fel az abüdoszi királylistán. Ay sírját megszentségteleníttette, szarkofágját összetörette, nevét kivésette. A szarkofágfedelet 1972-ben Otto Schaden amerikai egyiptológus megtalálta; a fedélen, melyet törmelék temetett maga alá, még olvasható volt Ay neve a kártusban.

Horemheb második felesége, Mutnedzsmet egy feltevés szerint azonos azzal a Mutbenrettel, akit Nofertiti húgaként említenek, és aki Ay lánya volt.

 Címei
Amarnai sírjában Ay címei a következőek:
 A király barátja
 A király legjobb barátja
 Isteni atya
 Legyezőhordozó a király jobbján
 A király szeretett írnoka
 A király lovainak felügyelője (a harci szekerek tábornoka)

Ezek egy része átlagos nemesi cím, a tábornoki cím például a kor békés külpolitikáját figyelembe véve csak névleges lehetett, a legyezőhordozói cím azonban fontos, mivel tanácsadói posztot sugall.

Regényekben
Ay fontos szereplő a következő művekben:
 Mika Waltari: Szinuhe Hegedüs Géza: Az írnok és a fáraó Paul Doherty: Gonosz árny Nyugat felől, A hiéna évadja és A kobra éve'' (trilógia)

Vietnam Said within Six Months This Year There Were Nearly 120,000 Cambodian Tourist Arrivals in Vietnam – Wednesday, 25.8.2010

"Phnom Penh: Within six months of this year, the Vietnamese authorities said that the Cambodian tourist arrivals in Vietnam increased to nearly 120,000, but Cambodian experts said that most of them went for medical services.
"According to a Vietnamese agency, within six months of this year among the tourist arrivals in Vietnam, as many as 117,000 are Cambodians, an increase by 36%.
"The same source added that Ho Chi Minh City attracted most Cambodian tourists, other areas such as the highland in the central area, the Mekong low lying area, and southeast provinces followed. Ho Chi Minh City attracted from 60% to 70% of the 117,000 Khmer tourists.
"According to tourism experts, the increase in the number of Cambodian tourists to Vietnam resulted from the lifting of visas requirements between both countries. The president of the Cambodian Association of Travel Agents, Mr. Ang Kim Eang, said on 23 August 2010 by phone that he does not have accurate figures of Khmer tourists to Vietnam, but he believes that among those tourists, most went only for medical services.
"Based on Vietnamese media, those who go for medical services in Vietnam are considered as tourists. The same source continued that each day, about 100 Cambodians seek medical services at hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City.
"An official of the Ministry of Tourism said that the Ministry does not have accurate numbers of citizens visiting foreign countries. What the Ministry has is the total number of Cambodian citizens going abroad.
"The same official added that within six months of 2010, about 232,317 Cambodian citizens went abroad." Rasmei Kampuchea, Vol.18, #5285, 25.8.2010

Cambodia Asked [Thai Prime Minister] Abhisit to Warn [the Thai royalist Yellow Shirt movement leader] Sondhi Limthongkul, Who Makes Himself a Cruel Person [by using rough words to attack Prime Minister Hun Sen]
Mr. Sondhi Limthongkul [สนธิ ลิ้มทองกุล] is one of the founders of the royalist Yellow Shirt Movement. – In April 2009 he suffered an assassination attempt. In July 2010, he was indicted by the public prosecutor for lese majeste – an "anti-royalist" crime. In Thai media, he is often called a "media firebrand" because of his fiery speeches]
The speech under reference by Mr. Sondhi Limthongkul could not be found, however the response by the Press and Quick reaction Unit of the Office of the Council of Ministers, distributed to the press:
Kingdom of Cambodia
Nation Religion King
Office of the Council of Ministers
Press and Quick reaction Unit
No. 012/PRU/S/2010
The Spokesperson of the Press and Quick Reaction Unit (PRU) of the Office of the Council of Ministers of the Royal Government of Cambodia has noticed that Mr. Sondhi Limthongkun, leader of the PAD (the Yellow Shirts), in the Thailand's weekly political nightly program broadcast over ASTV on 20 August 2010, has made slanderous statement attacking our beloved and respected leader, Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, conducting a hatred campaign against the people of Cambodia, igniting the name of enmity between Cambodians and Thais. He has proven once more that he is becoming a raving lunatic. By turning deaf ear and blind eye to Sondhi Limthongkun's hatred activities against Cambodia, the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva has become an accomplice and a sponsor of a criminal prone activity, and therefore responsible for any moral and political consequences that might happen in the future.
It is unworthy to repeat what Sondhi Limthongkun, a harebrained person had said on ASTV. However the Spokesperson of the PRU will take the high ground and wishes to bring to the attention of the public at large of the followings:
Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia is admirably and deeply loved and respected by the Cambodian people. He accedes to the leadership of the Government through the holding of just and fair consecutive general elections with the majority of the votes of the people and by the unanimity of votes by the members of the Cambodian People's Party (CPP).
He is a peace loving and peace building statesman of international stature. He had seen and experienced enough the horrors of war; he fought for the survival of the Cambodian people and the nation against the Khmer Rouge genocidal regime. In fact, he builds the great national unity among Cambodians, defends the national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity, culminating in the integration of Cambodia into ASEAN family, at the regional level. On the international arena, Cambodia has been known to be a fast developing country economically and socially, a country that brings justice to the victims of crime committed against humanity through the exceptional Cambodian and UN creation and functioning of the Extraordinary Chamber in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC). For his internationally recognized dedication to peace, Samdech Prime Minister of Cambodia was awarded Doctor Honoris Causa and other numerous international awards and he is also a full-right member of the Academy of Natural Sciences.
Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen. Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia is a dedicated and fervent Buddhist and is abide by the principles of non-violence. He upholds and leads traditional Buddhist festivities, and cares for aged devotees nationwide;
King Noreso of Thailand, in fact, had asked for help from King of Cambodia during a Siam (Thailand) war with the Burmeses. After Siam had grown stronger, Siam forgot who had been the benefactor and behaves like a crocodile (in the Cambodian folk tale) that got burnt almost to death and begged a peasant to save its life and to bring it to a pond, and to return the favor to the peasant, the crocodile insisted that it must eat him, for what reason? Because the peasant tied the beast too tight when transporting it to the pond". This had been the way that Siam had behaved, and the way that Siam had taken away Cambodian territories, like the provinces of Surin, Sisaket, Ubon. etc…
The campaign of intoxication by Sondhi Limthongkun which proved to be unsuccessful up to now, has been turned to be a campaign of hatred from a raving lunatic who had his brain damaged by Thai bullets for his arrogance to the point of abasing himself. As the spokesperson of PRU had said before, "he, who sows the winds, will harvest the turbulence". Therefore, Sondhi Limthongkun will wind up getting blown away and drown by Thai political typhoons. Sondhi Limthongkun is no longer a human being. He has turned into a beast and spoke cruelly and shamelessly about nonsense.
Once again, the Spokesperson of the PRU urges Thai political figures to put an end to the malicious campaign of innuendo, suggestion and speculation to fault Cambodia by raising the issue of the Temple of Preah Vihear based on their mysterious, unilateral and internationally unrecognized map, and to raise the enmity of Thai people towards Cambodia for their personal political gains in the midst of the squabbling among Thai politicians and the deep division of Thai society. The Spokesperson of the PRU strongly urges the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva to warn Sondhi Limthongkun to stop representing the Kingdom of Thailand as a whole as the kingdom of barbarians who think about violence, killing, cruelty by way of "decapitating and spiking head on the stick" as the way of political and social life. Last but not least, the Spokesperson of the PRU strongly urges the government of Abhisit Vejjajiva to take immediate action against Sondhi Limthongkun, for the sake of future good relations between Ihe two countries, for the simple reason that Sondhi Limthongkun, is less than a human being. He is indeed a cruel beast. Sondhi Limthongkun deserved to be muzzled and kept in the institution of deranged and dangerous people.

This will be the first time that a rotavirus vaccine will be developed for the Chinese market where the first dose of the rotavirus vaccine will be orally administered to newborns. This agreement represents a major milestone in bringing a safer and superior rotavirus vaccine to families in need globally.
Rotavirus is a vaccine preventable disease but rotavirus gastroenteritis causes an estimated 329,000 hospitalizations and 4,900 deaths in infants and children each year in China. Almost 16 million babies are born in China annually and like all newborns the world over are at risk of rotavirus infection which can cause life-threatening diarrhea.
International Medica has been developing a rotavirus vaccine for global use to overcome the shortcomings of the currently marketed rotavirus vaccines, which do not protect very young infants, may be associated with an increased risk of vaccine associated intussusception (a blockage of the intestine which requires hospitalization), are costly and require expensive refrigerated storage. International Medica's oral rotavirus vaccine addresses all of these problems. Based on the RRV-TV vaccine originally developed at the National Institutions of Health, International Medica has successfully completed a large safety and efficacy Phase 2 clinical trial in Africa in 998 young infants that received both doses of the vaccine before they were 2 months old. "We are very pleased that our vaccine is providing strong, early protection to infants, usually before the first dose of other rotavirus vaccines is even administered. As recently reported in the Journal of Infectious Diseases, two early doses of our RRV-TV vaccine is comparable in efficacy to three doses of other rotavirus vaccines given later to older infants," says Dr. Leonard Ruiz, President of International Medica.
Burrill Securities LLC served as exclusive strategic advisor to the Foundation on the transaction.
The International Medica Foundation is a nonprofit foundation, headquartered in Rochester, Minnesota, that focuses on developing a safe, effective and affordable rotavirus vaccine that is clinically tested and then can be provided to families throughout the world. International Medica is seeking private sector commercialization partners for other regions of the globe.

Paterson team dominates in first ever Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition held in city
December 19, 2017 by Jayed Rahman
Hundreds of people from the Northeast descended on Paterson for the Pride Jiu Jitsu International Tournament at John F. Kennedy High School this month. This was the first time a Brazilian jiu-jitsu competition was hosted in the city.
At the home turf, the Paterson team from Unity Jiu Jitsu School of New Jersey dominated the competition. Naji Mitchell, father of the two Paterson jiu jitsu prodigies, said the team won 12 gold, 4 silver, and 1 bronze medals. The team won the most gold in the competition.
"We ended up beating some of the larger teams," said Mitchell. His sons Jason Lambert Dixon Jr. and Jalen Malik Mitchell were among the 600 kids from throughout the tri-state to take part in the competition on Sunday, Dec. 10, 2017.
Both boys did well. Jalen moved up two age divisions to take gold, said the father. Another boy from Paterson Nathan Gonzalez won a gold medal. Their instructor, Devhonte Johnson, who is also from Paterson, secured the prize for first place academy.
The team from Unity Jiu Jitsu School of New Jersey that competed in the contest.
Johnson is the head instructor at the Totowa-based Unity Jiu Jitsu School of New Jersey. He has competed throughout the country and the world and is known as a top prospect in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Over the past two years, he has created a family environment at the academy and produced a training regimen that allows youngsters to have fun while improving their skills, said Mitchell.
Mitchell said more than 20 teams competed in the tournament. "It's usually hosted in Manhattan," said Mitchell of the competition. He was not sure whether the competition will be regularly hosted in Paterson in the coming years.
"I hope they do," said Mitchell. He said it builds awareness for the sport in Paterson. He said this would encourage more young people from the city to take part in jiu jitsu.
"We have a team here that is doing well. Maybe some more kids will do this as an alternative sport to nothing else to do," said Mitchell.


On behalf of Law Office of Sharon C. Stodghill posted in Estate Administration on Friday, April 19, 2019.
Texans who have significant assets or properties that could be the foundation for dispute after they have died will seek to prepare for the future by addressing these probate issues beforehand. Unfortunately, even the most well-crafted estate plan can have complications when it is time for estate administration. Legal issues and disputes among heirs are common, especially when it is a famous person and blended families. While not everyone will be in the position of a prominent performer, there are lessons that can be learned to prepare for the future and avoid mistakes they might have made. If there is a need for litigation, it is even more vital to have legal help.
On behalf of Law Office of Sharon C. Stodghill on Friday, April 5, 2019.
There is a misconception that estate planning is something only reserved for the wealthy and famous or those with large estates. In reality, virtually every Texas adult could benefit from having even a basic estate plan. While people with children or valuable assets understand the need for this step, it is also important for single adults too.

The Best of the Huntress: Wonder Woman #317 Review
Title: Wonder Woman #317
Story: On the Trail of the Nightingale
Characters: Huntress (Helena Wayne), Myra Liebe, Alfred Seraphin, Nightingale
Creators: Joey Cavalieri (writer), Mark Beachum (artist)
Available In: Digital
Summary: Helena Wayne has had an exhausting couple of weeks and decides to go on holiday in California. Rather than take an aeroplane to arrive at her destination in a shorter timeframe, Helena decides that a trip from coast to coast should happen slowly and more leisurely.
En route, Helena reunites with an old friend from college who also happens to be travelling to the west coast to finalise the procurement of an ancient Japanese statue. It turns out Helena's friend isn't the only person on the train interested in procuring the Japanese relic. Someone else aboard that same train wants it as well, leading to a mysterious murder inside one of the train's compartments!
Review: This is admittedly one of my favourite Huntress stories from the Joey Cavalieri era, but it is also a story that makes me very sad to read as well. This marks the second to last Helena Wayne Huntress story before Crisis on Infinite Earths unceremoniously writes her out of continuity despite being immensely popular with fans.
The story reads a bit like an Agatha Christie style mystery, and given Joey Cavalieri's affinity for classic literature, I wouldn't be surprised if she served as inspiration for this story. This is also one of the few stories where the Huntress takes a backseat to Helena Wayne, which is admittedly refreshing as it affords Helena more opportunities to showcase her investigative skills out of costume.
We are introduced to both a new character and a new villain for this story. We first meet a young woman named Myra Liebe, who also happens to be Helena's friend in from college. In contrast with the more stoic and reserved Helena Wayne, Myra is depicted as having a more outgoing personality, an optimistic attitude, and is very much a people person, which factors into her decision to take a train as opposed to an aeroplane. A decision that is markedly different from Helena's who cited a desire for leisure and slow pacing.
The juxtaposition between Myra and Helena is quite fascinating to observe, namely because of how their interaction draws out other aspects of Helena's character that would otherwise not surface without her present. The reader learns on the opening page that Helena wants to be left alone and demonstrates a lack of desire or interest in socialising. When Myra invites Helena to a party taking place in another car, Helena reluctantly accepts the invitation to please Myra, but continues avoid interacting with the other passengers as much as possible.
These stark differences between Myra and Helena are even captured in the character designs for both by artist Mark Beachum. Myra is depicted with stylish blonde hair and is usually seen wearing vibrant coloured clothing. Her body language is even depicted as expressive and is always seen smiling, effectively capturing her exuberance. Even Myra's last name of Liebe (the German word for "love") helps drive home the kind of personality she has.
Helena by contrast is depicted as nearly the polar opposite of Myra. Helena smiles less, and despite wearing vibrant colours herself, also presents herself in a way that prevents her from standing out in a crowd. Her body language continues to be reserved and is even seen leaving the party harbouring a "I came, I saw, time to head back to my personal space" mentality.
The more interesting aspect of this story takes place near the end when Helena unwittingly stumbles upon a murder in progress and is seen confronting the killer in her civilian identity. The reader witnesses for the first time how Helena handles a criminal situation without either her Huntress costume or weapons at her disposal. She puts up a fight but also avoids doing too much to avoid suspicion.
The victim is revealed to be none other than Myra herself, which sends Helena on a path to investigate her death, not as the Huntress, but as Helena Wayne. Since Helena is also a witness to her death, this also puts her on the path to encounter the Myra's murderer again, who identifies herself as the Nightingale, a skilled assassin.
On the whole this is a good Agatha Christie-style setup for what promises to be a wild ride for Helena Wayne without the Huntress. How much of an investigator can she be without revealing too much? How much of a skilled fighter can she be without arousing questions of how "ordinary Helena Wayne" even possesses the skills to fend off and even take down a skilled assassin? These are all the questions that het addressed in the next chapter.
Labels: earth-2, helena wayne, huntress, joey cavalieri, mark beachum, review, the best of huntress
Doppelgänger 13 November 2018 at 21:30
I will forever loath Marv Wolfman for being the one super villain who Helena Wayne could not defeat and who ended up killing her.
Nightingale is like a pre-Crisis male version of Sonia Sato aka Judomaster. Wish we would have seen more of this ninja as Huntress benefited from physical and psychological threats that combined the two aspects into one rogue effectively.

Congress Passes 9/11 Bill, Await President's Decision
Two days before the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, Congress has set up a showdown with President Obama over potential lawsuits against Saudi Arabia.
FOX's Jared Halpern has more from Capitol Hill:
The Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act applies to any foreign government suspected of helping in a terror attack on U.S. soil, but the immediate consequence is families of 9/11 victims could sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts:
"The bill is passed and without objection the motion to reconsider is laid on the table."
Some of those family members applauding as the voice vote was announced, four months after the Senate unanimously approved the measure.
Still, there is strong opposition from the White House. The Obama administration has repeatedly said the President won't sign the bill, citing concerns it could backfire and put Americans overseas at legal risk.

Comment on public sector bid for ScotRail franchise
Commenting on today's announcement by the Scottish Ministers that they would support a public sector bid for the ScotRail franchise, Transform Scotland's rail campaigner Paul Tetlaw commented:
"Rail services in Scotland perform much better than many other parts of the UK — contrary to the view put forward by some.
"That's not to say we wouldn't wish to see improvements, especially where the train competes directly with the car. This is where the Scottish Government should focus its attention and fund infrastructure improvements.
"A good example is the Highland Main Line to Inverness and the parallel A9 road. Whilst the road is benefiting from £3bn expenditure, the railway remains largely single track and Victorian in nature. That's no way to make 'the train quicker than the car between cities' — which is the Government's stated policy.
"No amount of tinkering with the structure of the railway in Scotland will improve services if the Government continues to plough billions into building new roads while failing to similarly fund the railway."


This week, we are serving up short stories in the Starving Review kitchen. The Legend of The Engineer is a short tale set in the world of The Brassbright Chronicles, which we have been served a meal from before. The first was a bright, cheery steampunk dish for younger readers. Will this small slice from that same cake taste as good or will it be diminished by the smaller portion?
As with all my examinations of short works, I will endeavor to keep my critiques as brief. Legend matches the delightfully charming style of its bigger sister, delivering a breezy, shiny steampunk experience. I found it fun and a nice change of pace from many darker tomes out there, as well as being a clear read, something that would be good for the younger audience it aims to feed.
One thing of particular note is how 'real' Legend helps make its world feel. There is a sense of history and logic (albeit logic through the lens of airships and clockwork robots) that makes the story easy to believe and invest in. Throughout, it never loses sight of that history or its underlying sense of wonder and fun. Legend's look at the Brassbright world's holiday tradition would make it an especially nice holiday read.
In summation, The Legend of The Engineer delivers a delightful and flavorful bite of steampunk cake for the younger reader. I would highly recommend it to fans of the genre of any age as a holiday tale, but especially to the younger readers. It isn't too simple for adults, but it also isn't too complex for children while not talking down to them either.

When Sue and I attended a Scenic event in Brisbane late last year and Glen Moroney announced that Scenic was returning to the Middle East, we couldn't contain our excitement.
This was a destination high on our must do list and one that we had feared may never happen. We have recently returned from the 20 Day Essence of Egypt and Jordan Tour & Cruise and can honestly say it was everything we had hoped for and delivered one of the most outstanding experiences of our travel life.
So why was that? Was it the stunning Pyramids, the vast array of antiquities, the ancient ruins, the amazing hieroglyphics and artwork in the Tombs of the Pharaohs or was it the stunning red landscapes of Wadi Rum and Petra.
Of course these are just some of the things that we as travellers expected to see and here they were, in endless abundance and amazing detail, right in front of us.
Seeing these incredible sights in person is another level of wonder that has to be experienced firsthand which ensures the experience will remain with us for the rest of our days.
But it would be wrong to think that Egypt and Jordan were just about their unique architectural structures, landscapes and ancient history. There was much more.
For example, our accommodation on tour was as much a part of the touring experience as were the structures.
There were the stunning views of the Pyramids from our room at the Mena House in Giza, the majestic rooms and gardens of the Winter Palace in Luxor and the iconic history that reflects such famous people as Agatha Christie and Winston Churchill at the Old Cataract Hotel with its picture perfect views across the Nile at Aswan.
Along with these beautiful historic venues, and the added luxury of our Nile River cruise on the Sanctuary Sunboat III we were also surprised at the extent of our pampered luxury at Aquaba Red Sea resort.
Like any tour though, it's the people who can make a difference, and in Egypt and Jordan, this was another high point.
When local people speak highly about Scenic, we as travellers can only feel humbled that they genuinely appreciated us being there.
Many asked us to promote their countries on our return home and we can certainly confirm that we felt safe and well looked after at all times. Tourism is so important to the communities of these countries and we always felt welcome.
But any tour wouldn't be complete without one very important ingredient and that's having fun. Sue and I will never forget the all in mud massage on the shores of the Dead Sea, and the unusual feeling of floating in its warm therapeutic waters.
The laughter of our fellow travellers as we lathered up with mud and the brilliant hospitality of the local Hilton staff in making our stay so enjoyable and memorable stands out as another amazing highlight.
This tour had everything – stunning landscapes, significant architecture, amazing people, luxurious accommodation and so much more. It was truly was a wondrous experience, one that we believe all travellers should one day experience.
Natural wonders abound, from extraordinary desertscapes to soaring mountains, world-famous seas and, of course, the mighty Nile.
Travel in the footsteps of the pharaohs on a luxury cruise along the Nile, Egypt's lifeblood, and discover monumental temples before relaxing in iconic luxury at Aswan.

Luka Modric rejects big money offers to stay at Real Madrid
Luka Modric remains committed to his goal of staying at Real Madrid beyond the 2022/23 season.
Modric played a key role at the 2022 World Cup, captaining Croatia to the last four in Qatar, in their second successive World Cup semi final appearance.
The 37-year-old has since returned to Madrid as he enters the final six months of his current contract in the Spanish capital.
Modric has opted to sign one-year extensions in recent seasons, as part of the club's policy on players aged 30+, and he will begin negotiations as soon as possible.
The position of Los Blancos and Modric remains unchanged but reports from Diario AS claim there is international interest in him.
Offers from Saudi Arabia and the USA will not be considered by Modric's camp as he wants to stay in Europe.
However, the 2023/24 campaign is likely to be his final one, as he aims to bow out at Euro 2024 with Croatia.

Your tax dollars at work in our courts.
Mat Staver (Liberty Counsel) is representing Scott Lively. As many of you know, Lively is an unhinged bigot who was sued by a group called Sexual Minorities Uganda (SMUG) for his involvement in promoting anti-LGBT laws in that country.
U.S. District Court Judge Michael Ponsor in Springfield, MA affirmed that SMUG made their case. However, he was obligated to dismiss the case on jurisdictional grounds.
Anyone reading this memorandum should make no mistake, The question before the court is not whether Defendant's actions in aiding and abetting efforts to demonize, intimidate, and injure LGBTI people in Uganda constitute violations of international law. They do.
Defendant Scott Lively is an American citizen who has aided and abetted a vicious and frightening campaign of repression against LGBTI persons in Uganda.
[Lively's] crackpot bigotry could be brushed aside as pathetic, except for the terrible harm it can cause. The record in this case demonstrates that Defendant has worked with elements in Uganda who share some of his views to try to repress freedom of expression by LGBTI people in Uganda, deprive them of the protection of the law, and render their very existence illegal.
[The evidence] confirmed the nature of Defendant's, on the one hand, vicious and, on the other hand, ludicrously extreme animus against LGBTI people and his determination to assist in persecuting them wherever they are, including Uganda. The evidence of record demonstrates that Defendant aided and abetted efforts (1) to restrict freedom of expression by members of the LBGTI community in Uganda, (2) to suppress their civil rights, and (3) to make the very existence of LGBTI people in Uganda a crime.
…due to the judge's known support for the LGBT agenda, he improperly littered his Order with a prolonged tirade against Lively, badly distorting Lively's Christian views and ministry, and insulting him with such unbecoming epithets as "crackpot bigot," "pathetic," "ludicrous," "abhorrent" and numerous others. Judge Ponsor also purported to conclude, without even a pretense of legal or factual analysis, that Lively's Christian beliefs and pro-family ministry violated "international law" and that Lively's peaceful speaking on homosexuality in Uganda somehow "aided and abetted" crimes supposedly committed by people Lively has never even spoken to or met.
For some reason I tend to believe Judge Ponsor's version of events over Mr. Staver's hyperbolic recitation. Needless to state, Mr. Staver's credibility is near zero.
Judge Ponsor also dismissed an action in state court "without prejudice" which means that the state case could theoretically be refiled. Staver wants the Court of Appeals to change that to a dismissal with prejudice which permanently closes the case.
