Earns unamious points victory and plots his path in his last five career fights.
World Boxing Council champion Floyd Mayweather extended his perfect record to 44 victories Saturday, beating Robert Guerrero by unanimous decision in their welterweight title fight.
Mayweather, who was defending his title for the first time since serving a jail term for domestic violence, dominated a bloodied Guerrero for most of the fight at the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.
All three judges scored the 12-round fight 117-111 in favour of Mayweather.
The 36-year-old Mayweather was also fighting for the first time in a year as he improved to 44-0 with 26 knockouts. Guerrero, who had his 15-fight win streak dating back to 2005 snapped, fell to 31-2-1, with 18 knockouts.
Mayweather spent close to three months in jail beginning in June after being convicted of domestic violence involving the mother of his three children.
Both fighters had their fathers working their corners Saturday.
Mayweather sacked his uncle and longtime cornerman Roger Mayweather in favour of bringing his father Floyd Sr back for this fight.
The two fathers grabbed most of the pre-fight attention by exchanging verbal jabs, with Ruben Guerrero calling Floyd Jr a "woman beater" in the build up to the bout.
Mayweather had plenty of critics heading into Saturday's fight who said factors working against him included increasing age, the change in trainers and the conviction and jail term.
"Everybody was saying because I am 36 that I don't have it no more, that my defence wasn't sharp, but I proved myself," Mayweather said.
The fight started slowly, with Guerrero the aggressor and Mayweather feeling the challenger out.
Mayweather began to seize control in the third round and dictated the pace from there, using his superior foot and hand speed to keep Guerrero off balance.
Mayweather landed one of his hardest punches in the eighth round — a roundhouse right that wobbled Guerrero, whose face was starting to show the effects of being hit with a barrage of straight rights, stinging counterpunches and lunging jabs.
The champion also opened up a cut near Guerrero's eye in the eighth.
The ring-savvy Mayweather cruised through the middle and later rounds, using his strong defence to slip punches on the ropes and in the centre of the ring.
Mayweather was so dominant in the later rounds that he stopped moving from side to side in the 11th, choosing to slug it out and landing punches at will against Guerrero, who never gave up but was hopelessly overmatched.
"He is a tough competitor. I take my hat off to him," Mayweather said.
The only blemish on his performance was that Mayweather, who made $32 million for this fight, failed to get the knockout.
Mayweather blamed the inability to finish Guerrero off on an injury to his hand that he suffered in the middle rounds. "I was looking for the knockout but I hurt my right hand," he said.
Mayweather is committed to fighting September 14 when he could possibly face Mexico's Saul Alvarez.
Asked Saturday night if an Alvarez fight is in works, Mayweather said he needs time to relax before thinking about his next opponent.
The undercard featured a Mexican showdown on the "Cinco de Mayo" holiday weekend.
Former Mexican Olympian Abner Mares captured the WBC featherweight world title with a ninth-round technical knockout of compatriot Daniel Ponce de Leon.

There has been all kinds of talk lately of the attempt from the Hillary Clinton camp to suggest a superticket would be to have Barack Obama as her running mate - even though he is leading and she is trailing in the race for the party nomination.
What I fail to understand is why I can't seem to find any discussion anywhere of what kind of ticket the Democrats might present if Clinton were Obama's running mate?
Not that I'm suggesting Obama would go along with that. Or that Clinton, for that matter, would have it. But, why is it a question that hasn't even been posited among the talking heads (as far as I've been able to find) thus far?
Nor, by any means, am I suggesting that Clinton, being a woman, could only be capable of the vice-presidency. Nor am I suggesting that Obama, being black, should be president just so we can say we got a black president. Neither of them should get the job because of their race or gender, nor should either of them be held back for same.
But the assumption that only Obama should be eligible for discussion as the #2 is, um, curious, given his leading position.

Mrs C Murphy (Curriculum Lead for PSHE)
Click here for a list of Form Tutors
PSHE Curriculum Outline
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education is intended to support pupils' learning and personal development as well as their social, moral and spiritual development.
Personal, social, health and economic education is a planned programme to help children and young people develop fully as individuals and as members of families and social and economic communities. Our effective PSHE education is intended to help equip our students with the knowledge, understanding, attitudes and practical skills to live healthily, safely, productively and responsibly.
Subject Overview
There are three main strands to the PSHE that permeate throughout the curriculum with these core themes being:-
Health & Well Being which looks at how the students manage transition ,develop their understanding of how to maintain physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing including sexual health ,enables the students to make informed decisions about drugs, alcohol and tobacco, how to access support and advice and cope with basic elements of first aid.
Living in the Wider World educates students about about rights and responsibilities as members of diverse communities, as active citizens and participants in the local and national economy, helps them to develop their employability skills, develop their understanding about personal and business financial management
Relationships enables children and young people to learn, develop and practise skills that allow relationships to form, function, grow, and – if necessary – end, positively. It helps them gain confidence in communicating effectively both off- and online, within different relationships. Developing interpersonal skills enables them to become more effective in social situations, raising their awareness and effectiveness as a member of their own and wider communities.
The PSHE curriculum is further enhanced through the delivery of assemblies, workshops etc.. from outside agencies and representatives as the curriculum is aimed at increasing their awareness of life beyond the classroom and the world in which they live. At Savio Salesian College we value and appreciate that each student is unique and wish to further develop their character and resilience through a well delivered PSHE curriculum
Key Stage 3 Overview
At Key Stage 3, pupils build on the skills, attitudes, values, knowledge and understanding they have acquired and developed during the primary phase. PSHE education acknowledges and addresses the changes that learners are experiencing, beginning with transition to secondary school, the challenges of adolescence and their increasing independence. It teaches the skills which will equip them for the opportunities and challenges of life. Pupils are encouraged to manage diverse relationships and the increasing influence of peers and the media. PSHE education allows them to be more confident in addressing the challenges of effective learning and making a full and active contribution to society.

Approaching Adolescence
Enterprise Challenge
1st Aid
Multicultural & Diverse Society

At Key Stage 4, pupils extend and rehearse the skills, further explore attitudes and values, and deepen knowledge and understanding acquired during Key Stage 3. PSHE education reflects the fact that learners are moving towards an independent role in adult life, taking on greater responsibility for themselves and others. By Key Stage 4 increasing numbers of pupils may be gaining direct experience of issues taught through PSHE education leading to greater depth of response and insightfulness.

DAF senior leaders amplify SecDef directives for reproductive health care
Secretary of the Air Force Public Affairs
ARLINGTON, Va. (AFNS) --
Today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III announced that the Department of Defense will take appropriate actions to ensure service members and their families can access reproductive health care within its authority and consistent with applicable federal law, in addition to clear guidance for health care providers to operate effectively.
These actions will establish travel and transportation allowances for service members and their families to access reproductive health care, establish additional privacy protections and conduct a comprehensive contraception education campaign.
Austin stated the actions outlined in the memo, Ensuring Access to Reproductive Health Care, should be executed no later than the end of the year to the maximum extent possible.
"Reproductive health care impacts readiness, recruiting, retention and quality of life. Our policies and programs will empower families to make appropriate decisions based on their needs," said Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall.
Under Secretary of the Air Force Gina Ortiz Jones also stressed the importance of taking care of Airmen, Guardians and their families.
"Secretary Austin's directive to update DoD reproductive health policies is critical to protecting Airmen and Guardians' access to reproductive health care services, as well as their privacy," Jones said. "This is about taking care of our people and about being mission ready. DAF leaders will continue to communicate with the Force as new policies are implemented to ensure awareness of available reproductive health care services and support."
In his memo, Austin directed the DoD to accomplish certain actions to give service members and their families the time to make private health care decisions:
· Establish travel and transportation allowances for service members and dependents to travel to access non-covered reproductive health care that is not available within the local area of a service member's permanent duty station, consistent with operational requirements and applicable federal law.
· Establish additional privacy protections for reproductive health care information, including standardizing and extending the time service members have to fulfill their obligation to notify commanders of a pregnancy to no later than 20 weeks unless specific requirements to report sooner, such as those necessitated by occupational health hazards, are set forth in policy.
· Conduct a comprehensive contraception education campaign to enhance service members' awareness of the resources available to them and their families, including emergency contraception. That education campaign will also highlight that the DoD has eliminated TRICARE co-pays for medical contraceptive services, including intrauterine devices.
Austin also directed DoD officials to develop guidance to protect health care providers, who should not be held personally liable for performing their official duties.
Additionally, Austin reiterated the DoD will not change comprehensive access to contraception and family planning services for service members and their families. He directed military medical treatment facilities with the appropriate clinical capacity to expand their services, to include dedicated hours for walk-in contraceptive care for service members, and on a space available basis, for all other eligible beneficiaries. Some MTFs currently offer walk-in contraceptive services, and all MTFs will have walk-in contraceptive services by January 2023.
TRICARE beneficiaries also no longer have to pay cost-shares or co-payments for all TRICARE-covered contraceptives. These include IUDs, hormonal shots and slow-release hormonal rods, which go under the skin. This change went into effect July 28. If you paid for services on or after July 28, you can submit a claim to your TRICARE contractor after Nov. 1 to receive reimbursement.
Department of the Air Force leaders sent a letter titled Total Force Airmen and Guardians on Reproductive Health Care Services on Aug. 17, 2022, listing resources and information about access to care, including a contraception chart, covered abortions, privacy, leave policies and DoD FAQs. These DAF-specific resources and policies remain in place as the DoD works to meet Austin's outlined directives.

Despite the so-called 'Women's Evolution,' the WWE's biggest male stars make at least 36 times more than wrestling's highest-paid women. How is this giving divas a chance?
World Wrestling Entertainment's thirty-first annual Royal Rumble takes place tonight live on the company's streaming service, the WWE Network, and on pay-per-view. The event culminates in a 30-wrestler over-the-top-rope battle royale in which the last person remaining in the ring wins a championship match at WrestleMania, the wrestling world's equivalent of the Super Bowl. What's notable about this year's show is that it's the first time a 30-woman Royal Rumble match will also take place.
The likes of the late Joanie "Chyna" Laurer and Beth Phoenix have participated in the men's match on occasion but, three years after the fan-led #GiveDivasAChance movement for WWE to utilize their women wrestlers—then regressively called "Divas"—for more than just few-minute matches, a women's Rumble is well overdue.
Since then WWE has appropriated #GiveDivasAChance, turning it into their own marketing venture. The "Women's Evolution" as it is known involved rebranding their Divas division into simply women's wrestling, booking them in marquee matches, and recognizing that their growing female audience will fork out good money for products that represent them, as with last year's line of Barbies.
But WWE's women employees have yet to reach the benchmark of gender equality: equal pay. Former WWE star and New York Times bestselling author AJ Lee called for her then-employer to close the wage gap back in 2015 but, according to an article published by Forbes at the end of last year, women are still a long ways away from making bank comparable to their male counterparts.
Data from 2016 lists big names such as John Cena, Brock Lesnar and The Undertaker as wrestling's highest earners, with Forbes columnist Blake Oestriecher offering five more wrestlers who could make upwards of $2 million by year's end.
What do many of WWE's highest paid wrestlers have in common? Apart from the fact that they're all male, most of them only work select dates, such as big events like WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble. Chris Harrington, Thurston's colleague at WrestleNomics, notices that WWE's continued reliance on headline names and nostalgia acts unfortunately "means that neither the hardest-working men… [or] women are really shown to be stand-alone draws." Lesnar, for example, despite being the champion, only wrestled in six televised matches in 2017. Meanwhile, former women's champion Naomi, who also happens to be African American, was stripped of her title after nine days when she couldn't defend it due to injury.
Let's remember that wrestling is sports entertainment, where any so-called "rules" can be broken with little consequence, such as the 30-day title defense clause. WWE acknowledged as much in their announcement that the match stipulations for women's Royal Rumble will be the same as the men's, effectively breaking "kayfabe" (the fictionalized reality in which wrestling exists) in the process. Despite forfeiting the title, Naomi recovered and returned little more than a month later to regain the championship at last year's WrestleMania and has been injury-free since then. WWE's schedule sees its performers wrestling four to five matches a week in a different city every night. Unlike legitimate sports, there is no wrestling off-season, equating to a minimum of 200 days a year that WWE's full-time employees are putting their bodies on the line, sacrificing time with their families, and likely shaving years off their lives.
As wrestling is a visual medium, all wrestlers are held to a higher standard of physicality and that goes double for women wrestlers. Not only do they have to be in peak physical shape, they sit for hours in the makeup chair and have candy-coloured hair extensions and nails to maintain. Men, meanwhile, can get away with rubbing baby oil on their pecs and pouring water over their heads. This is not to mention the hours much of the female roster spend filming E! reality show Total Divas. Considering its cast members' reported earnings from WWE, filming the show becomes a necessity for many women to achieve pay parity with male wrestlers.
This contradicts WWE's "Women's Evolution" which posits that women wrestlers are equal now, despite WWE being the one largely responsible for their inferior position for the better part of the last several decades. In the past couple of years, women Superstars have been given opportunities to wrestle in matches formerly only available to men, such as Hell in a Cell (a weapon-heavy match that takes place inside a steel cage with an enclosed, 20-foot high ceiling) and Sunday's Rumble match. Last June saw a man win the first-ever women's Money in the Bank ladder match (not a good look, WWE) and the company is still holding out on putting women in the main event match at WrestleMania, which considerably pads the pockets of the competitors with big bonuses and would go a long way to pay equity.
When women wrestlers are granted these opportunities, they routinely steal the show. One of the top fifteen highest-rated third-hours of Raw, WWE's flagship show on the USA Network, featured women's wrestling as the main event. Depending how you look at it, this might not seem very impressive. But this time slot was only entrusted to them four out of 52 weeks last year, which is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to what women wrestlers can do given the chance.
"It's difficult to just correlate [the] closing segment/main event segment with show ratings, because the third hour of Raw has consistently been the lowest-rated hour of the show throughout 2017," Harrington says.
With a culture-wide move from traditional media to the internet, "YouTube views might be a better measurement of interest in particular segments," Thurston elaborates. Given the innovation of the WWE Network and their current Facebook Live series Mixed Match Challenge, which also has potential to level the playing field between genders if only in the ring, television ratings are less of an indication of which wrestlers are speaking to fans. This graphic of 2017's ten most popular YouTube videos on WWE's channel includes the aforementioned first women's Hell in a Cell between Sasha Banks and Charlotte, Cena's proposal to Nikki Bella which made mainstream headlines, and a match from this past summer's all-women tournament featuring WWE's first female signee from India.
"Any of [these women] might be able to rise to the level of WWE's male main eventers, but I don't believe they've been given a genuine opportunity to reach that full potential," Thurston says.

The work / life balance is slowly being restored!
It has been such a busy term so far, I have been breaking my rule of not working weekends ever since I came back from Spain and January has flown by with very little me time. Happily we have a bit of a lull now at least for a couple of weeks then things get really busy again.
I am doing well with the next batch of dolls for the little girls in the family, I cut out three sets of pieces last Sunday afternoon and have already got a pile of completed legs. I am working on stitching the faces at the moment which will take some time.
I was working from home last week for a couple of days and having done a lot of marking over the weekend was able to finish early on Tues afternoon and get in the craft room for a little play and then finished it all up yesterday.
I was planning to make a cushion for my sister for Christmas but then we decided not to do presents for each other. I was very thankful about this due to my poorly arm but I still wanted to make her this one as I have seen so many cute versions on Pinterest.
She has a camper van, which is not a VW, but we both love them so I made her this cushion for use in her van when she goes to festivals.
I looked for a pattern but most seemed to be ready made or kits so ended up drawing my own. I drafted it out then traced over and cut out the pattern pieces. I put iron on bonding on the fabric before cutting out then assembled it before zig zagging round the applique.
I am so pleased with it, it looks so cute. I bought some fab backing fabric as well. Yes I know I said I was not buying anything else but did not have anything suitable in stash that was large enough and it was only £2 for a fat quarter from Oh Sew Crafty on Ebay. They have lots of other colours as well, pictures from the shop's site.
All the rest was from stash, Ellie very kindly gifted me a jelly roll so I used some of that for the windows and tyres and the white spot fabric backing is a piece she bought for the same quilt about 6 years ago and has never made so she thought I might make good use of it. I still have lots more lovely strips including beautiful flowery ones so will share those with Mum.
The yellow is some Dashwood from Simply Solids and the green flower and square design on the panels is some fab vintage fabric that someone must have given me as I don't remember buying it. Buttons courtesy of my Mum for Christmas. The back is a simple envelope closure and I added poppers as well.
I love it and I hope my sister will like it, then again if she doesn't it will be a lovely new cushion for me! I have also found some very lovely caravan ideas, I think this would make a nice pouch.This is a free tutorial and pattern from Bev at Flamingo Toes. I would dearly love to own a vintage caravan, they are so lovely but not practical for me really.
Hope that you have all had a nice week ahead . My Mum arrives on Thursday and we are off to Budapest on Saturday for a few days so I am really looking forward to that. I may just be taking a few pictures of lovely buildings! See you when I get back and thanks for visiting.
Budapest, lots of snow, lots of goulash!
I don't think you'll get to keep it – I'm sure your sister will love the cushion!

URA launches Beach Road commercial site for minimum bid price of S$1.138b
Thu, Jul 06, 2017 - 10:37 AM
Soon Weilunsoonwl@sph.com.sg@SoonWeilunBT
THE Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) on Thursday released for tender a Beach Road commercial site, which includes a conserved building onsite, for sale at a minimum bid price of S$1.138 billion.
The 99-year lease site is located next to Shaw Tower. The site is intended for a predominantly office development with complementary uses such as residential, hotel and/or serviced apartments, the URA said in a release on Thursday. It comes under the H1 2017 government land sales (GLS) programme.
The site consists of a 21,026.9 sq m land lot and a subterranean stratum of 1,175 sq m. It includes a conserved building known as the former Beach Road police station.
The maximum permissible gross floor area is at 88,313 sq m, with office space taking up a minimum of 61,820 sq m.
URA had said on June 21 that a developer had applied for the site to be put up for public tender. The developer committed to bid at a price of not less than S$1.138 billion in the tender for the site.

When I was 16, my grandmother lived across the street. As she was dying, my mom and her family waited on her daily, and I visited her at least once a day. At my summer art assistant job, I made a large paper crepe flower for her with lots of colors, including black, red, white, and pink…When I got home, my mom advised that I should go see grandma, but I was so tired, and I had an early evening job that day, and would visit her afterwards. Unfortunately, she died while I was at work. I was devastated that I could not say goodbye.
Weeks later, I had a dream about her. I grabbed her and hugged her, real tight; and I believe I said, "I love you, grandma." When I woke up, I was crying, but relieved that I got to say goodbye. I was too shy to tell my mother about the dream, but I think about that dream often, and still cry about it 'til this day. That was 40 years ago. Was that real? Did she visit me? I did feel comfort, because touching her was very real, not dreamlike.

IPL 2021 Sponsorship Revenue: IPL income grows by 100%
CricketIPL
By Darshan Jawale	 Last updated May 1, 2021
IPL 2021 Sponsorship Revenue: Vivo IPL 2021 has kickstarted on April 9 2021 just five months after the conclusion of the previous season. Unlike last season which was conducted in the UAE, this season is hosted in India. A few concerns were raised regarding the conduction and functioning of IPL because of the upsurge in the number of Covid cases in India but the tournament has carried on nevertheless.
The global pandemic had a deep impact on IPL's finances and revenue. BCCI faced a 50% decline in its revenue as a result of the pandemic in the IPL 2020 and ₹400 Crores was generated. IPL's business value dropped 22 % and there was a reduction in the number of official partners to 3.
This scenario is set to change this year as the 14th season of IPL seen a rise in revenue generation. Experts say that the revenue will increase by 100 % this year. The increase in revenue can be attributed to more number of sponsors. Vivo is back as the title sponsor of IPL after pulling out from last year's IPL.
IPL 2021 sponsorship revenues grow by 100%
The IPL 2021 sponsorship revenue has grown to ₹ 708 Crores. Last season, Dream 11 was the title sponsor and it cashed in ₹222 Cr. The official partners brought in ₹120 Cr. This year, BCCI is earning ₹440 crores from Vivo alone which is more than the total revenue generated last season.
Another major aspect of the surge in revenue is the advertising and broadcasting money from Star Sports. As the last edition was completely televised, the Star network saw a rise in viewership. 23% rise in viewership was recorded and revenue of ₹2,600 crores was generated. For IPL 2021, Star Sports has managed to bring in 18 sponsors and more than 100 advertisers for the 14th edition.
Dream11, Byjus, Phone Pe, Just Dial, Bingo, Kamla Pasand, Association of Mutual Funds in India (AMFI), Frooti, Asian Paints, Thums Up, Vodafone-Idea, Mondelez and Amazon Prime are some of the major sponsors brought in by Star Sports. They are aiming to generate a revenue of ₹200 Cr from their sponsorship deals
Disney+Hotstar has also got in sponsors for IPL 2021. PhonePe, AMFI, Unacademy, Pharmeasy, Livspace, Swiggy, Parle Agro, Amazon Prime, Coinswitch, CRED and Xiaomi. Dream11, Byjus, PhonePe, JustDial are the co-presenting sponsor. Upstox and Vimal Elaichi are co-powered by sponsors.
IPL 2021 franchises seeing the growth of 25%
The increased revenue will help the franchises and they are expected to have a 25% growth rate in their revenue as they are bringing in their own separate sponsors as well. Growth in sponsorship deals will compensate the teams for the losses incurred by the absence of fans. Thus, IPL 2021 will see a huge inflow of money.

The best Traeger grill
By Stacey L. Nash
BestReviews |
Full-size Traeger grills may have two to four wheels with or without brakes and castors. There are also models with all-terrain wheels, which are perfect for moving the grill at a park or the beach.
As a trusted name in the world of grilling and smoking, Traeger grills turn grilling into an art form. They've earned their reputation by building grills that last. But even more importantly, they produce results that rival any barbeque restaurant. They come in all sizes, from tailgate-sized portable models to backyard behemoths for entertaining a crowd. Our favorite is the Traeger Pro Series 34 for its combination of grill size and ease of use. But Traeger has other great grills in store. Keep reading our buying guide, and you're sure to find the perfect one for you.
Considerations when choosing Traeger grills
Grill size
Traeger makes grills meant to cook for two or three people, and large models meant to feed your whole family. Thankfully, Traeger provides each grill's measurement in square inches as well as how many hamburgers, rib racks, and whole chickens will fit at once. All you have to do is decide how many friends you'd like to invite to the party and pick a grill that handles that much — plus a little extra.
Grill design
Tabletop: These small models cook enough for two or three with the same capabilities and results of larger grills.
Traditional: These grills have a hopper and cook just like a regular pellet grill except they look like a traditional barbeque. They have extra space on each side for holding food and offer storage space underneath.
Pellet grill: This is the barrel-shaped grill you probably associate with Traeger. They have a hopper. Most models also have a smokestack but a few don't.
If you dream of using a Traeger grill at tailgate parties or while camping, you'll want a tabletop model or a full-size model with foldable legs and wheels.
Hopper capacity and clean-out
The hopper holds the pellets, and they range in capacity from five to 24 pounds. While you'll have to buy more pellets for a high-capacity hopper, you don't have to fill them as often while cooking.
Some Traeger grills have a hopper clean-out feature that allows you to empty the hopper while the grill is running. This feature lets you change pellet types for different flavors as you go.
Controller type
Digital Elite: This basic controller has an easy-to-read digital display, but it doesn't include meat probes to monitor internal temperatures.
Digital Pro: The Digital Pro controller has the same easy-to-read display as the Digital Elite except it includes one or two probes (depending on grill size). The meat's internal temperature is then shown on the digital display, which allows you to proactively adjust grilling temperatures.
WiFIRE: Traeger's trademarked wireless digital controller connects to your phone via an application from which you can see and control temperatures anywhere within WiFi range.
Trager grills range in price from $300 to more than $1,600. The price generally reflects the capacity, number of grilling racks, and controller type of the grill.
Q. Do Traeger grills have storage trays or shelves?
A. The traditional BBQ-style models have underneath storage shelves and doors. The barrel-shaped models don't have any storage trays or shelves, but Traeger makes an underneath shelf that's sold and attached separately.
Q. How often do I need to clean a Traeger grill?
A. That, in part, depends on how often you use the grill. Generally speaking, the drip tray will need to be scraped clean (with a nonmetal scraper) every three to six months. Traegers also have a grease bucket that should be emptied whenever it becomes full, which will vary depending on how much you use it.
Traeger grills we recommend
Best of the best: Traeger Pro Series 34
Our take: This grill is perfect for families with its combination of ample grill space and ease of use.
What we like: There's plenty of room for smoking, braising, roasting, barbequing, and grilling. It has excellent temperature consistency across the entire grill.
What we dislike: The set-up is simple, but you're going to need some muscle power to erect it.
Best bang for your buck: Traeger Junior Elite 20
Our take: It may not have the grilling space or fancy features of other models, but it cooks well and comes at a relatively affordable price.
What we like: We love the auto-ignite feature and the easy assembly. There's a slight learning curve, but once you have the hang of it, grilling is a cinch.
What we dislike: It's shorter than other models, and it does take some time to grill with the consistency most people want.
Choice 3: Traeger Tailgater 20
Our take: If you have limited backyard space, or you want to take your grill with you on the road, this model might be right for you.
What we like: The wheels and foldable legs give this model great portability. It includes a choice of hood colors.
What we dislike: There have been some problems with the auger and hopper.

Anthony Cary,  vicomte Falkland PC ( - ; le nom de famille est orthographié Carey dans certaines sources) est un noble écossais et homme politique anglais.

Biographie
Il est né au château de Farley, Somerset, le fils de Henry Cary (4e vicomte Falkland), à qui il succède en 1663.

Il épouse Fiona Catherine Cary et a une fille, Mila Inge Cary (décédée le 21 octobre 1683).

En tant que pair écossais, il avait le droit d'être membre du Parlement d'Angleterre. Il a ainsi été député conservateur de l'Oxfordshire de 1685 à 1689, de Great Marlow de 1689 à 1690 et de Great Bedwyn de 1690 jusqu'à sa mort .

Il prête serment au Conseil privé d'Angleterre en 1692 et est premier lord de l'amirauté de 1693 à 1694. Il a auparavant occupé des postes dans ce dernier département en tant que trésorier de la marine de 1681 à 1689, sous Charles II et Jacques II, et en tant que commissaire de l'amirauté de 1690 à 1693 . Samuel Pepys avait une opinion plutôt faible de ses capacités, tout en admettant qu'il souffrait d'une mauvaise santé chronique.

En mars 1694, il est emprisonné à la Tour de Londres sur des accusations de malversations  et il est mort de la variole en mai, âgé de 38 ans, sans héritier masculin . Il a été enterré dans l'Abbaye de Westminster . Son cousin Lucius Cary (6e vicomte Falkland) lui succède.

Les îles Falkland sont nommées en son honneur. Les vicomtes de Falkland tirent leur titre de la résidence des monarques écossais le Palais de Falkland, à Falkland, Fife, en Écosse.

Q: Paperclip gem with Ruby IO File Object I'm trying to attach images to an ActiveRecord object with the Paperclip gem. However, I'm trying to attach images, not from a form, but from a script that looks for images in a folder.
Here is my code
file = File.open("some_image.jpg", "r")

my_object.image = file
my_object.save

file.close

The script runs successfully (no errors). However, when I check the website, the images are not showing up. The images were apparently never attached.
I've looked through the documentation, but wasn't able to find anything that solved the problem.
Also, here is MyObject class
class MyObject < ActiveRecord::Base

  # Attachments

end

Any ideas?

When was the last time you gave the front page of your site a little dust-off?
Many of us let our websites sit for weeks, sometimes months, and sometimes even years with very little love or attention. Maybe you update your blog, or remember to update your Staff page with new bios and headshots as needed, but it's probably been a while since you REALLY looked at your homepage.
That's a shame, since this page is the most important part of your website! It takes 50 milliseconds for someone to decide how they feel about your site once they land there. Most of that has to do with design, but what's written on your homepage matters too.
Because spring is coming, use the checklist below to go through your homepage and see what needs cleaning.
Literally. Look at the main text that appears above the fold (meaning what you see before you start scrolling). It might be text on a banner image, or it might be your tagline. Does it make sense on its own, with no other sub-text needed? Does it tell the user who you are and what you do? Will it spark joy for your user?
Your homepage should let a user know that they're in the right place when they land, so ensure that whatever you've got up top, whether it's your value proposition or your current promotion, is attention-grabbing and easy to understand (and remember).
Our client Panorama Global puts their tagline front and center, so you can't miss it.
Studies have shown that your users start looking at your page from the top left and then move right, and then down. It's expected that you'll put your logo at the top and a header with a menu of other pages on your site, and maybe a few other things like a search bar or social media buttons.
Double-check that the text in your site menus is easy to understand, so that a user who is looking for a specific page on your site can find it in no time. If your menus are confusing, you should consider renaming some of your website pages and maybe restructuring them. Check your website analytics to get a sense of the pages on your website that visitors want to see the most and make it easy to find them from your homepage.
To Write Love On Her Arms has a simple and effective header to get people where they need to go in a jiff.
3. Let's look at the rest of the text.
Is your text readable? Are your paragraphs short and easy to skim? Are you using headers and formatting to make the most important elements stand out?
If you don't generate interest in your homepage within 15 seconds, your user will move on to the next shiny and exciting thing on the Internet. Make sure the copy that you're putting on the most important page of your site is genuinely interesting to read. If you read that copy out loud to the person sitting closest to you right now, would they snore or would they ask you for more?
Take a lesson from our friends and colleagues eighty2degrees and keep things super simple and visually exciting.
4. What can you delete?
Be ruthless. We mean it when we say that your homepage should engage your user. If you see text that doesn't serve a purpose or just is unnecessary, hit that delete button. If your text isn't making it clear why your business is valuable and what benefits your users will get from being on your website, it's time for an edit. Every sentence should be there for a reason!
Our former client This Is My Brave just relaunched their site, and it's a great example of focused content.
Think about how you can create visual space around the most important thing you want your user to do (your main call-to-action), so that they see where they should click next quickly and easily. If your link to donate is surrounded by 10 other potential things your user could click on instead, your user might get a smidge distracted, and we don't want that.
5. Open your homepage on your phone.

5 Great Foreign Stocks Selling at a Discount
By Igor Greenwald, Contributing Writer | June 7, 2018
From Kiplinger's Personal Finance
Foreign markets account for more than half of the world's stock market value and boast a growing share of its corporate powerhouses. In the wake of stock market declines in early 2018, investors who have a long-term mindset can find attractively priced stocks overseas, including the five listed below. All of the shares trade in the U.S. as American depositary receipts.

Alumina Limited
This Australian company has a single moneymaker: its 40% stake in a joint venture with Alcoa that mines bauxite and refines it into alumina for sale to aluminum smelters around the world. Aluminum demand is growing faster than demand for most other metals, thanks to its use in aircraft frames and, increasingly, cars. Pricing has also benefited from China's efforts to reduce its smelter capacity in order to cut down on pollution.
The joint venture with Alcoa has already made its costliest investments and is now reaping the returns, allowing Alumina Limited (AWCMY) to more than double its dividend last year. The stock currently yields 6.6%.

Amadeus IT Group
This Madrid-based travel software specialist is the leading supplier of booking data to travel agencies and corporations around the world. Amadeus IT Group (AMADY) also provides specialized commercial software for airlines, a faster-growing business that now accounts for nearly half of the company's bottom line. The firm pays out half of its annual profit in dividends, and this year it earmarked the other half for a share repurchase. The stock yields 1.5%.
Amadeus shares trade at 24 times estimated 2019 earnings. That's higher than the 19 times earnings that Expedia shares command, but the U.S. travel retailer faces more competition and lower profit margins in the consumer-focused segment of the industry.

France's largest bank is a Europe-focused giant that pays a generous annual dividend, giving the stock a 5% current yield. The growth in deposits and loans accelerated last year. Doubtful loans (those unlikely to be paid in full) accounted for just 3.3% of the bank's total at the end of 2017, down from 3.8% a year earlier.
Yet shares of BNP Paribas (BNPQY)) trade at a hefty discount to the per-share book value of its assets. As the European economy continues to heal and interest rates rise from historic lows, however, that discount should narrow. That's what happened in recent years at Bank of America; BofA shares now fetch a 27% premium to book value. BNP Paribas is a top holding of Oakmark International (OAKIX), a member of the Kiplinger 25, the list of our favorite no-load funds.

This fast-expanding Chinese e-commerce company doesn't look cheap, with shares trading at 30 times estimated earnings for 2019. But cash generated from operations has been on an upswing, and last year it more than covered JD's hefty investments in logistics infrastructure, including warehouses and call centers. Analysts expect per-share earnings to jump 90% compared with expected 2018 levels. The lofty growth and well-regarded leadership of JD.com (JD) give it a leg up in the fight for China's huge, rapidly expanding and still fragmented market for online shopping.

The U.K.-based health care company is a geographically diversified supplier of knee and hip implants, as well as equipment for trauma treatment, wound care and orthopedics. Revenue growth has been modest recently but will benefit from the gradual aging of the population in rich countries and in developing ones, where Smith & Nephew (SNN) is now expanding fastest. Given the company's modest scale, relatively low debt and attractive product lines, it is often rumored to be a takeover target as competitors within the industry consolidate. The stock trades at 17 times estimated earnings for 2019 and yields 2.0%. The company increased its annual dividend by 14% this year.
