Utilize position – you most likely understand that place is a significant factor in Holdem, but only the best players are self-disciplined sufficient to utilize it in their choice making. Table image may be the how your opponents perceive you. Once you do hit you win a big cooking pot with a large hand. Whether or not i have airballed flop calling a raise with 89s, I nevertheless frequently glean alot from opponents to steal later on. This means despite the fact that your opponent might be on a draw they do not have chances to ask where you've got the better hand, they nevertheless hit their draw occasionally.
Whenever there are antes in play, the SB should play far more fingers than usual, either as a call or raise. If a draw is only going to hit one in every 3 times then you definitely have to be improving odds than that on your own cash or you will lose cash over time. A sensible way to define 'tilt' in poker is the mental or psychological confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a not as much as optimal strategy", and is something that frequently benefits from player being in a bad mood.
Upswing Poker developed a 4 category system inside their Postflop idea which costs $7 (down from $19). If you do not have that numerous arms, you might still make an effort คาสิโนออนไลน์ to tease down who the better players are by noticing who's got strong advanced stats or who you understand from your experience are strong players.
The problem, however, is that many players are often flocked with plenty of diversions like viewing television or surfing the web when playing. Developing an unprofessional mindset towards playing could translate into the person not using poker seriously enough and thereby can keep him from becoming a great on the web player.
If you opponent is increasing really wide you'll be able to re-raise with pockets pairs 88+ and a lot of Broadway hands like KQ and also KJ and AT. From 2005-2007, my on-line poker play had been a good example of online poker grinding. While that isn't totally incorrect there's also reasons that veteran poker players have now been making a consistent profit from poker for decades.
Value gambling basically means wagering if you are confident you have the best hand during the table, and having compensated the hand's pot by a hand that is slightly even worse. I Believe too many players don't make use of their downtime between fingers to keep learning from others." – Matt Ashton. The tools for the trade is there for online poker players in Canada – you simply have to locate them and learn to use them.
a live grinder can get to try out 20-25 hands per hour, while a multi-tabling online player can play 400-600 fingers each hour. The problem is that amateurs have far too attached to aces – and particularly when the dealer creates a dangerous board with cards that give opponents flush and right opportunities. I am also confusing on why 3-betting with A3s could be better than 3-betting with A8s or ATs, in position definitely.


Since our subversive old friend Guido Fawkes became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewsCorp (or whichever it is of Murdoch's vehicles), Order-Order has become a reliable one-stop shop for picking up on whatever is Rupe's latest diktat to all his organs. Fawkes, you see, is nothing if not loyal to his masters overseas (yes, the parallels with 1605 are all there), and so there are compliant links to Times, Sun and Sky etc whenever a new 'line-to-take' is being promulgated by the proprietor.
And Rupert is nothing if not the owner of a fan of Michael Gove. Right now it's pretty clear the word has gone out: Gove for PM ! Even Trevor Kavanagh in the Sun, who clearly resents being given these instructions, is dutifully puffing Rupe's man, for pity's sake. Still, if the alternative is Amber Rudd (who has apparently raised a veritable war-chest and instructed Lynton Crosby to manage her own leadership campaign) we aren't exactly spoiled for Aussie-promoted choice. Why is it always Australians - whose own domestic politics are such an utter shambles - who come over here sticking their fingers in everything?
Who wants bad headlines ev'ry day ?
When Chinese markets are in play ?
Who wants shame and opprobrium too ?
Who wants the wretched BBC ?
Who wants his stuff online for free ?
Who wants to burden Fox with neutrality ?
What, neutrality ? that's no use to me !
Who wants to bother with the facts ?
Who wants to pay out any tax ?
Who cares for human rights, or for Liu ?
"Guido Fawkes became a wholly-owned subsidiary of NewsCorp": I hadn't known. Should I delete him from my bookmark list? Or should I leave the bookmark in place as giving me a route to Murdocheology that isn't behind a paywall?
- because I cannot stand the thought that liam fox represents me.
Back to basics ... all that politicians do is to set the regulatory framework (and penalties for breaching that framework) so that businesses can operate. After all if we don't work (for a business) we starve.
So what better for your business than to buy these people, and get them to promote your interests within that framework.

FL Case Highlights Need for Passage of Domestic Violence Against Family Pets Protection Bill
January 28, 2012 by Karen Harrison Binette
A FL man terrorized his wife as he beat her three month old kitten to death earlier this month. Sen. Mike Fasano, sponsor of the Little Horatio's Law and Dexter's Law animal protection bills says the case shows the need for the bills to pass into law.
A Hollywood, Florida man's violent domestic abuse episode killed a kitten and subjected the kitten's petmom to the torment of watching the act. Florida State Senator Mike Fasano says the case illustrates why the animal protection bills he has sponsored, which are in consideration by the state legislature during its current session, need to become law. The kitten and the woman were both domestic abuse victims. Countless cats and dogs suffer abuse, torture and death at the hands of their owner's spouses and other family members. Senator Fasano and the bills' many supporters, both locally and nationwide, want animals to be afforded legal protection from deadly predators right in their own supposedly safe homes. How many women (mostly) have adopted a pet to give it love, safety and security, only to have the animal suffer at the hands of a brute within or with access to the home ? That's an open ended question. The short answer is far too many.
Some readers will have seen the terrible news stories earlier this month detailing Richard Stewart Andres' violent rampage of January 5, when he terrorized his wife of one year by beating her little kitten, then forcing her to go out into the yard with him and watch as he buried the kitten alive, dug the kitten back up and then beat it to death in the couple's bathroom.
Andres' wife waited for him to leave before reporting him to the police, telling them she was terrified that she would be his next victim. The police report states that Andres claimed the kitten, named Hobe, scratched him, and that Andres blamed his wife for not properly disciplining little Hobe.
Andres is charged with domestic violence, assault and cruelty causing death, pain and suffering to an animal. He has a lengthy criminal record, is out on $3,000 bond and is forbidden from going near his wife or any animal. The Broward Circuit Judge was quoted telling Andres, "The court believes that if you would do this to a kitten, it's not a stretch to believe you would carry this out to a person."
Speaking for Senator Fasano, his chief administrative aide Greg Giordano told us that this heartbreaking and disturbing story from Florida makes the case for why both the Little Horatio's Law (Senator Fasano's SB 288) Domestic Violence Against Family Pets bill and the Dexter's Law (Senator Fasano's SB 618) Animal Abuser Registry need the support of the citizens of Florida, and their elected representatives, so that they may be enacted into law. The Senator feels strongly about these pieces of animal protection legislation, and wants to see both bills passed during the Florida State Legislature's 2012 session, which lasts another several weeks. While time remains to get legislative support for the bills, each day that ticks by without passage puts them more in doubt for this session. While the Senator vows to resubmit the bills until they pass, he feels that Florida's cats and dogs and other animals, and the people who love them, needprotection now.
Kathy Cornwell, current petmom to Horatio, the Domestic Violence Against Family Pets bill's original abused face for change, travels the state of Florida visiting domestic abuse awareness meetings to make the case for the bill, which was originally inspired by the loving dog who endured brutal beatings as he tried to protect hisformer petmom from her adult son.
For more on SB 288, see our earlier story, Domestic Violence Against Family Pets Protection Bill Introduced in FL
For those shocked, sickened, saddened and angered by Richard Andres and his actions, there is a petition asking the court to give the maximum sentence allowed under the law to Andres. Here is the link: Change.org petition: If found guilty,Max Sentence Richard Andres for Torture and Killing of kitten. The petition was started by Hand4Paws.

Fantasy Cricket Game for the Lovers of Cricket
The rules of the best game probably ever played on Earth have their personal a laugh. You cannot escape them, as rules make the game what it stands for- the positive competitive spirit and the importance of fighting till the very end.
Fantasy sports are online games that allow users to choose real players for a fictional team, the real-life figures of those players are then used to determine which fantasy team is doing the most excellent. The most common variant convert's statistical performance of players into points, the accumulation of these points over the period of the competition determines which user wins. However this idea has still struggled to enthral cricket audiences.
The comparatively small pool of international cricketers to choose from, the uneven number of matches played by international cricket teams in a season, all contributes to making fantasy cricket a marketing gimmick more than a passion. Until now.
Fantasy Cricket Matches TM become developed to triumph over the constraints inherent in international cricket. Using the complete nature of a cricket scorecard it was possible to decide the result of any cricket match using the scores and bowling figures of just one of the participating teams – Totalling up the batsmen's runs gives u the team's score, totalling up the bowlers runs conceded gives you the opposition score, the higher score determines the result of the match!

No website would like to go against the law and also risk the activity carried out by the various users logged onto the site. Hence it is very important to make sure the legal side of these games is secured and no untoward trouble is caused to the functioning and existence of the rewards system.
Fantasy t20 cricket and its advantages:
The shorter the format the more is the excitement and involvement of a larger audience. Cricket has undergone major changes in the past decade.

Fantasy t20 cricket is very popular among the masses who love to build and manage their own team consisting of their favourite players.
Batting and bowling orders are a much debated aspect of cricket strategy often having huge impacts on the outcome of a match. Cricket commentators like to 2nd bet captains, normally with the luxury of hindsight, on who have to open the bowling, when key batsmen ought to pop out to bat. With Fantasy Cricket Matches TM they are able to placed their money in which their mouth is before the suit begins, as assigning orders is a key element of this fantasy cricket sport and as with the actual factor, these decisions have a massive impact on the outcome of the myth fit

Let kids play with their food – after all play is what being a kid is all about! Touch, feel, taste, maybe squirm their little faces up with new flavours but it's all playful, beneficial and healthy to do so. Sure food might move across the room from time to time, but don't sweat the small stuff, focus on making food fun.
This is a little rainbow plate with a fun, nutritious balance of protein carbs and fats, plus some snacks on the side for later.
You can build up to more ingredients as you go with kids but give their meals some creativity, work with different ingredients, enjoy locally grown produce like our Australian Currants and watch their little minds and growing bodies flourish.


Having taken on the top London role from popular global chair Paul Rawlinson, Baker & McKenzie London managing partner Alex Chadwick (pictured) talks to Matthew Field on the challenges of leadership.
What were your early years like as a lawyer?
I joined Baker McKenzie as a trainee because I thought it was different, different from the Magic Circle and smaller firms at the time like Ashurst Morris Crisp or Travers Smith – a global firm that sat in a different position.
What are the priorities for you in London?
We want to continue to grow where we are relatively small compared with the market generally, such as in corporate transaction. But we want to retain what is special about us, being a good place to be an employee and spend a career.
It's particularly important to me that we are diverse and we are inclusive and as we grow we are reflective of all this set of talent, respecting the values we have always had internationally as a firm.
Have any lawyers been particular mentors during your career?
A partner I found most inspirational as a lawyer was Geoff Kay. I sat with him as a trainee many years ago. What I valued in him was his ability to simply and clearly interpret, analyse and advise on complex set of rules that is the tax code. I thought that he was a clearer thinker than any person I had worked at the time.
How much of a threat are the Big Four to law firms giving tax advice?
The Big Four have been very commercial about how they serve clients across multiple practice areas. In many ways their renewed enthusiasm in certain markets is a significant threat to global law firms.
Where we are focused on is our position to support clients at the crossover between cross-border and complex multi-practice projects. We need to keep building on practice areas where we can capture more work, particularly in the UK, through greater bench strength such as in M&A and corporate practitioners.
2016 has been a year of upsets. Brexit. Trump. Is there any hope?
Change is unsettling and challenging, but it is also a cause for looking at opportunities when you do what we do. We want to start to look at what the new dynamic will be for business operating into the UK and from the US. At the end of the day Trump, the May government and the EU will all react with new laws and our job is to help clients navigate that.
More UK firms are consolidating and firms like Dentons have become global players. How does Bakers react to this?
We are in an increasingly global marketplace, where our clients do business and look for professional advice globally. These moves are firms that have not been as global as us in responding to that client imperative. But we have always been global. We have always been built of strong local practitioners across a spread of markets. For us, the objective is not to jockey to be the largest firm in the world but to continue to support our clients on a fully integrated basis – and we don't have the challenge of significant integration on the back of a major merger.
What has been the most challenging time in your career?
Possibly now, but not in a bad way. The last few months have been quite a challenge in that I have gone from one job into another job which is both similar but dramatically different. I still want a meaningful role as a client facing tax partner while executing the good work that has been going on in London.

It's that time of year again. The weather begins to cool and the Green Markets are now open for the season. A hugely anticipated event every year, the Boca Raton Green Market, as well as the Delray Beach Green Market, are nice places to gather on Saturday mornings to buy locally grown seasonal fruit and vegetables, fresh baked goods, flowers, plants, seafood and culinary artists.


I know that many students use midterms as an excuse to neglect their diets. Personally speaking, I know that between studying and desperately trying to imbibe as much caffeine as humanly possible, I often forget to eat a meal. Nonetheless, you are what you eat–in which case, I would be a Big Texas Cinnamon Roll and a six-pack of Diet Coke–so it is important to fuel your brain with healthy, leafy greens and filling grains, such as oatmeal or brown rice.
Enduring long hours of studying with little respite can make you feel as if you're trapped in an unrelenting state of purgatory (In Dante's Inferno, there are nine circles of Hell. In Butler, there are nine floors. Coincidence? More like conspiracy!). In order to lessen the monotony of long hours spent studying, as well as keep yourself motivated, you should establish some kind of a reward system for yourself. For instance, I subscribe to the 50-10 method, meaning that for every fifty minutes I spend studying, I spend ten minutes engaged in some enjoyable activity, such as watching Gilmore Girls.
In general, 7-8 hours of sleep a night is recommended to maintain mental sharpness. Some researchers believe that sleep is especially important during exam period, as it is crucial to both learning and memory. It is thought that the brain uses the time that we are asleep to consolidate the neuronal connections made throughout the day. Therefore, by denying yourself sleep in favor of all-nighters, you may actually be hurting, rather than helping, your GPA.
Whether you love going to the gym, or prefer alternative forms of exercise, such as walking, dancing or swimming, exercise can be a great way to clear your head. Personally, I enjoy multitasking, which is why the Gottesman Library at Teacher's College is my favorite spot on campus. There you can take advantage of their innovative treadmill desks, which allow you to simultaneously study and exercise.
Too often, during exams we tend to isolate ourselves from our friends and family. However, if you can spare but five minutes in your busy day, a meaningful conversation with a close friend or family member can be incredibly restorative.
Midterms can be an incredibly stressful and emotionally taxing period. As Barnard students, we have access to a number of helpful resources to deal with stress, including Well Woman and Furman. If you ever find yourself feeling overwhelmed, don't hesitate to take advantage of these resources—they are here for you!

As Americans go to the polls Tuesday, many progressives are enthusiastically or reluctantly voting for Hillary Clinton as a rebuke to Donald Trump. However, U.S. elections have an outsized impact on the people of other countries around the world, and it is humbling and instructive to take a step back for a minute to consider how America and its presidential frontrunners are perceived elsewhere and why. We owe it to our fellow humans around the globe to keep up the fight for more humane U.S. policies–no matter who wins.
A November 1 poll by the Arab Center Washington DC, conducted in cooperation with the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies in Doha, found that about 60 percent of adults living in eight countries (Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Palestine, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia) have been following our election process at least occasionally. Yes, that percentage is likely particularly high due to the tabloid/yellow journalism nature of this year's slugfest. But it's a perennial fact that young people in countries at the other end of our drones, military aid, etc., tend to be much more informed about foreign affairs than their peers in America.
Arabs' interest in following our democratic political process, however, does not lead to a positive perception of our impact on the world, particularly their region. The majority of respondents in every Arab country represented in the poll viewed the impact of our foreign policy as more negative than positive. Respondents from Iraq, Morocco and Tunisia had the most positive view of our foreign policy, but still, even there, only slightly more than a third had a very or somewhat favorable opinion.
And then there are some, like 15-year-old Amera Abunada, a Palestinian writer now living in Turkey, who sees even more to fear from Clinton.
I agree with 15-year-old Amera Abunada.
I like the comparison she draws, although I'm not so sure than an egomaniac like Trump would continue to cause only "minor harm" once elected. It seems to me that if one were to properly stroke his ego (and his bank account) he'd be just as willing as "evil bird" Clinton to meaningfully destroy things.
Amera is one smart kid.
She is indeed. Amera is one of three triplets, and at 15, they are already amazingly talented writers–and astute observers. Look for their contributions on WeAreNotNumbers.org shortly!
We Americans are really glad the campaigns are over as they have been humiliating to us, and not very informative–like some grade school kids yelling at each other on the playground. We will all sit up tonight with baited breath, to see which horror takes the highest seat in our land. We want to see what are next SCOTUS will be like, and also, who takes the senate, with those long terms.
I once had a girl in a canoe and I awaited her advances with baited breath. Then a fish jumped up and bit my tongue! What can I say, my breath is alluring when I cast it upon the waters.
Who or what, is the fish in your figurative language?
Everyone is fixated on the candidates, but the composition of Congress will have a major effect on actual policies and legislation.
I voted for Hillary because at least she's a grownup. But I did NOT vote for Charles Schumer (for NY senator), because he's a bloody Zionist, and I do mean bloody.
I wonder if you guys still feel blasé about the results. Say what you will about Hillary she would've at least applied nominal pressure on Israel to not settle the West Bank. With Trump in control you could be looking at some of those real ethnic cleansing crimes you're always accusing Israel of committing. Like annexing the WB and exiling 3 million Palestinians. Who is going to stop them? Donald Trump? Theresa May? Future PM Marie Le Pen? God save all of us.

Researchers propose personalized approach to breast cancer screening
by Loren Bonner, DOTmed News Online Editor | April 12, 2013
(Credit: the American Journal of Medicine)
New findings reported in the American Journal of Medicine this month seek to shed some light on the ongoing debate around screening mammography. Although mammography, considered the gold standard of breast cancer screening, has proved time and time again to reduce breast cancer mortality, study authors don't see it as the answer for every woman.
Instead, authors of the report argue for a more individualized approach to breast cancer screening. The paradigm shift includes new technologies to give patients a more personalized option based on certain factors like age, breast density, genetics and other risk factors.
"Mammography is not a perfect screening test," lead author Dr. Jennifer Drukteinis of the H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute in Tampa, told DOTmed News. "There are sub-populations of women for whom mammography is less than ideal, such as women with dense breasts. There has also been significant controversy over the ideal age and interval to screen women by mammography. It is time to move beyond that argument and examine ways we can improve the breast cancer screening paradigm."

In response to some of the limitations of mammography, new technologies for breast cancer screening have been developed, including low-dose mammography, contrast-enhanced mammography, tomosynthesis, automated whole breast ultrasound, molecular imaging, and magnetic resonance imaging, all of which are discussed in the report.
"We chose to outline the major emerging technologies that are commercially available in breast cancer screening, as well as those not yet available that have shown promise in studies to improve the sensitivity and specificity of breast cancer screening," said Drukteinis.
Not only did the report relay a vision for the future, but it was also intended to educate clinicians about emerging technologies in breast cancer screening that patients may inquire about, according to Drukteinis.
Tomosynthesis, for example, a popular FDA approved technology that produces 3-D "slices" of an entire breast tissue volume, can eliminate the pitfalls of overlapping tissue, and has the potential to lower recall rates on screening mammography and reduce false negative examinations due to dense breast tissue. However, radiation exposure is a concern, as is decreased sensitivity for detection of microcalcifications, according to the report.
"The development of a personalized, individual patient-centered approach to breast cancer screening mirrors the evolution of similar strategies in other aspects of medicine," wrote Dr. Robert Stern, a radiologist affiliated with the University of Arizona College of Medicine, in an accompanying editorial. He cites the intricacies of each modality and one critical point that should be considered with such an approach: The need for a much closer working relationship between breast imagers and clinicians to make sure each woman undergoes breast cancer screening tailored to her.

The Suffolk County Hate Crimes Unit discovered the damaged menorah at around 5:30 p.m. Monday. Sadly it won't be repaired by Thursday evening.
The Suffolk County police department was notified after a menorah was discovered to be damaged beyond repair in Ronkonkoma. The incident is said to have taken place around Monday evening.
Police are not 100% sure if vandals are to blame but the type of damage done to it points in that direction. Authorities say this because it seemed as if the culprit -or culprits- took their time to break the menorah apart and smash the bulbs.
A member of the Hate Crimes Unit in the SCPD found the damaged menorah, which stands by the Ronkonkoma Chamber of Commerce in Raynor County Park, at 5:30 p.m. Whoever was responsible for disfiguring it broke two of the arms that supported the lights. They also ripped out the bulbs and broke off the top of the menorah. One of the branches of the menorah was said to be lying on the ground still lit up despite being taken off.
The chamber says the damage cost about $2,000 and they sadly won't be able to fix it before hanukkah ends on Thursday evening.
Anyone with information on the incident which took place outside the Ronkonkoma Chamber of Commerce is being asked to call the Suffolk County police Hate Crimes Unit at (800) 220-TIPS. All calls will remain anonymous.

From new donor-funded sports facilities, to conference domination in several sports, to an historic milestone, Cal Poly Athletics enjoyed a remarkable year in 2018.
Volleyball Claims Second Consecutive Big West Title
The Cal Poly volleyball team cemented its prowess in 2018 with its second consecutive Big West championship. The team finished the regular season with a 25-2 record — including 18 sweeps — and was nationally ranked as high as No. 11 in the AVCA Top 25 poll. Cal Poly's back-to-back conference titles are the first since 2006-07 and the fifth overall in program history.
During the historic season, the team posted a perfect 10-0 mark in Mott Athletics Center. Two of this year's most exciting victories were against national power UCLA in early September. The Mustangs have notched a combined 31-1 record in the Big West the last two seasons.
Mustangs nearly swept the Big West Conference post-season awards, with junior opposite hitter Torrey Van Winden named Player of the Year, freshman setter Avalon De Necochea named Co-Freshman of the Year, and Head Coach Sam Crosson named Coach of the Year. On the court, Van Winden finished the regular season with 5.07 average kills per set, second highest in school history, and a Big West-leading hitting percentage of .365.
Cal Poly was selected to compete in an NCAA regional at USC, its 16th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, where it fell to San Diego in the first round. The team expects to make another run at the conference title next year with all but two graduating seniors returning in 2019.
100 Seasons of Cal Poly Football
Cal Poly recently completed its 100th season of football. The program actually played its first game in 1915, but four seasons were canceled for various reasons — a flu epidemic in 1919, a polio epidemic in 1930 and World War II in 1943 and 1944.
During those 100 seasons, Cal Poly has amassed a 509-414-20 record with four appearances in the NCAA Division II playoffs and four more in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision postseason. Topping all football highlights is the national championship claimed by the 1980 squad under head coach Joe Harper.
Since its move to Division I in 1994, Cal Poly has captured four Great West Football Conference titles and one in its first year of competition in the Big Sky Conference (2012).

Cross Country Teams Continue Big West Domination
Cal Poly swept the Big West Cross Country Championships in October at Carbon Canyon Regional Park in Yorba Linda, Calif., as the Mustang men's squad claimed its third consecutive team trophy and the women's team recaptured the conference crown, their third in a four-year stretch.
In addition to the team trophies, Cal Poly also won both individual conference titles thanks to Jake Ritter and Miranda Daschian, both selected as Big West Cross Country Athletes of the Year. Mark Conover and Priscilla Bayley were named Big West Coaches of the Year for 2018. It's the sixth time in conference history a school has swept those four awards, with the Mustangs accounting for three of those sweeps.
This is Conover's altogether 20th Big West Coach of the Year Award, and the first for Bayley after being named Head Women's Cross Country Coach in August of 2017.
Katie Izzo came in 82nd place at the NCAA Cross Country National Championships in Madison, Wisc., and Daschian took 112th place.
Mustang men's cross country and track and field standout Swarnjit Boyal, who advanced to the NCAA Championships in both sports, and Taylor Nelson, a volleyball star both indoors and on the beach, were selected as Cal Poly's male and female athletes of the year for the 2017-18 academic year.
In cross country, Boyal finished second at the Big West Championships, leading Cal Poly to the conference title, and placed 10th at the NCAA West Region qualifier, earning a spot in the nationals, where the civil and environmental engineering major placed 211th. In track, Boyal became the Big West's first back-to-back champion for the 10,000 meters and also claimed the 5,000-meter title.
Nelson, also Cal Poly's Female Athlete of the Year in 2016, was named 2017 Big West Player of the Year during the indoor season as well as first-team All-Big West, AVCA Honorable Mention All-American and Pacific North AVCA All-Region First Team, leading Cal Poly to a 27-3 mark, a Big West title and a berth in the NCAA Division I regional at UCLA.
On the beach last season, Nelson was paired with Adlee Van Winden and the pair went 25-3 en route to second-team All-Big West honors.
Steve Miller and John Capriotti Athletics Complex
A nine-month renovation process was completed in March and the Mustang track and field program's newly outfitted facility was dedicated during the 36th annual Cal Poly ShareSLO Invitational. The $1.6 million track and field-specific portion of the overall project was funded approximately 50 percent each by donors and a partnership of university affiliates including Cal Poly Corporation, Associated Students, Inc. and Cal Poly Housing.
The new track surface was installed by Beynon Sports while the throwing stations, long/triple jump runway, pole vault pit and high jump pit all have been relocated. The infield was leveled and expanded to accommodate a 75-yard-wide soccer practice field and features Bandera Bermuda grass, a drought-tolerant hybrid.
Steve Miller, a five-time national championship-winning Mustang track head coach, and John Capriotti, a Mustang All-American track runner in 1978, were the leading donors on the project. They both spoke to a banquet audience of more than 300 gathered inside Cal Poly's Multi Activity Center.
"The five years I spent here at Cal Poly were among the best five years of my life," Miller said at the ceremony. "What Cap and I did for Cal Poly and San Luis Obispo is really out of a feeling of love and appreciation. It was a feeling that we had a chance to give something back."
Capriotti said, "The quality of life and the culture of running that was developed under Coach Miller when I was here attending Cal Poly, I will never forget. Simply put, my decision to join Coach Miller at Cal Poly changed my life."

Cubs Alter Draft Strategy In Wake Of Trades
By Patrick Mooney
The Cubs are still sticking with the best-player-available cliché. But as their scouts file reports and talk on regular conference calls before the draft, they acknowledge that the pendulum has swung in the other direction.
An organization that spent years loading up on first-round hitters, drafting pitching in bulk and making deadline deals for Aroldis Chapman and Jose Quintana now has gaps in the farm system.
The Cubs are trying to find a next generation of hitters in this year's draft. After working the free agent system, they have four selections in the top 78 picks—and five in the top 98—plus a $7.5 million bonus pool.
"There's going to be opportunity there," said Jason McLeod, the senior vice president who oversees scouting and player development. "Maybe it won't be the position players because we can't control what everyone else is doing. But I think we're going to be able to take some upside guys and try to replace some of the impact talent that we traded away the last couple of years."
The Cubs understood what they gave up—and what they stood to gain—when they traded away blue-chip prospects Gleyber Torres and Eloy Jimenez to the Yankees and White Sox to acquire Chapman and Quintana.
The Tigers also picked up interesting prospects in third baseman Jeimer Candelario and shortstop Isaac Paredes in last summer's Justin Wilson-Alex Avila trade, at a time when the Cubs no longer had access to the top-of-the-draft college hitters they prefer.
"We absolutely did try to force the pitching (in the draft), in terms of going heavy with taking a lot of arms," McLeod said. "I don't think that it'll be as much of an internal mandate for us to really go out and just keep getting volume.
"And, of course, we're going to try to hit on pitching again. But ideally, we'd feel good about taking a couple of position players. We're going to try to hone in on a couple of guys who we've been spending time with this spring."
Adbert Alzolay Looks To Take Hold Of Rotation Spot
The 26-year-old righthander made tremendous strides in 2020 and pitched effectively in the big league rotation. This season he aims to stay there.
>> An ankle issue delayed righthander Adbert Alzolay's arrival at Triple-A Iowa, but after he arrived he promptly took a no-hitter into the sixth inning in two of his first three starts. Between Alzolay's raw talent and mental makeup, the Cubs felt comfortable pushing him to Triple-A, even though he had just seven career starts at Double-A.
>> When the Cubs traded Ryan Dempster to the Rangers in 2012, they viewed Kyle Hendricks as the secondary prospect to third baseman Christian Villanueva. Chicago hoped to develop Villanueva as a trade chip, but he ran out of minor league options by the time he recovered from a broken leg suffered at 2016 spring training. He landed with the Padres after that season when the Cubs non-tendered him.
"He was always a really steady player at Iowa," president of baseball operations Theo Epstein said. "He plays really good defense, and he could hammer the low pitch—and he has not been missing his pitch . . . He's got strong wrists and the ball just explodes. He's a great kid, someone you root for. I hope he keeps it going."

Wow, so the last time I posted was almost two months ago! As usual, time is going by way too fast! We've had so much going on that I think I'll just make a nice list of all the projects/activities we've completed.
One of the major and more time consuming projects we finished was remodeling the guest/baby bathroom. This included tiling the floor, putting in new floor trim and crown molding, painting, replacing cheap hardware and replacing the 80s style light fixtures. I love the tile and can't wait until we have time to re-do the master bath.
A very mini project that Brian helped me with was giving a gold lamp and mirror a makeover. If you have any sort of lamps/vases/frames that you think are hideous, give them a few coats of satin nickel finish spray paint. You'll get brand new furnishings for $6!
Another mini project Brian completed was tapping into an existing water line above the fish tank for easy tank fills and watering of the plants we bring inside during the winter.
During the last two months we also celebrated our three year anniversary by going out to eat at Justus Drugstore. I can't say enough good things about this restaurant! You must eat there. Everything was amazing!
We also took our last camping trip of the year to Smithville. We had a great, relaxing time. Being so close to the end of the year, there were hardly any campers out, so it felt like we had the place to ourselves. Monkey got a lot of swimming in and we got to take the canoe out for one last trip (who knows the next time we will be able to get in it together!).
Our friends hosted us an awesome Halloween themed baby shower. They really went all out and did an amazing job. Everyone came dressed up in costumes and we even had a pinata! Thanks again for an awesome party everyone.
I've been busy stocking up our freezer for the day that baby arrives. We currently have chili, enchiladas, stuffed chicken shells, lasagna, smoked and shredded chicken and pork, and 38 breakfast burritos. I plan on making at least one more casserole dish and a few pans of the best cinnamon rolls ever (no seriously, make these cinnamon rolls now), but I will also be stocking up our pantry with staples like canned goods, dried pastas, and rice so we can eat for weeks without having to make trips to the grocery store.
I also attended a baby shower thrown by my aunts in Nebraska. I had a wonderful time and got a lot of really nice presents (a lot of stuff from our registry). I think we're getting close to having everything we need when the baby shows up.
We were able to take a break from all the projects when our friend Hogs and his girlfriend Nikki visited for the weekend. We had a great time talking, hanging out, eating and watching movies. You can't beat that!
Most recently we celebrated Thanksgiving with Brian's mom, sister and neice in Emporia. I made my very first pecan and pumpkin pies from scratch, including the crust! We also ate our very first Turducken, along with a stuffed pork roast and all the traditional Turkey Day sides.
The nursery is getting close to being finished as well. Brian has done an amazing job building a few pieces of furniture for the room so I think I am going to leave that for a separate post. Hopefully it won't be another two months!
Shelfs built, now on to stain and polyurethane.

Swedish youth faces trial for Columbine homage attack plot
Crimeschoolshootingsweden
A Swedish youth faces trial for allegedly plotting an attack at his old high school on the 20th anniversary of the Columbine massacre in the United States, a leading daily reported Monday.
The 21-year-old was arrested by chance two weeks before April 20, exactly 20 years after two high schoolers killed 12 classmates and a teacher in the small Colorado town.
Police arrested the suspect after a neighbour alerted them over a drunken brawl at his home during which he was waving a machete at a homeless man.
Police found fake firearms as well as explosives and cans of petrol that the suspect allegedly planned to use to set fire to the school library, Dagens Nyheter reported.
The young man, who faces a hefty prison term, admits that he planned an attack but denies having the intention to kill, his lawyer Jan Kryo said told the paper.
However, a diary entry states: "I have always had this desire to kill, I don't know why… I don't want to seem crazy, but I may be a reincarnation of Eric Harris" — one of the two Columbine killers.
Harris, who was 18, and his 17-year-old accomplice Dylan Klebold turned their weapons on themselves after the bloodbath, then the worst school shooting in US history.

The Writer: Nikki Lee
The first time I started thinking about screenwriting was about five years ago. Since then it has been an adventure of a lifetime. Scriptwriting has allowed me to create something out of the smallest of details in life. Everything from a quote to a crawling insect can spark material for a script. What's more exciting is being in an enviornment where somewhere else gets and shares in your passion. In my life as a film lover, I have learned that the best classroom is a recliner chair in front of a 50ft wide projection screen. Go to bio

The West Virginia mine wars culminated in the nation's largest armed uprising since the Civil War.<?xml:namespace prefix = o />
West Virginia miners first went on strike at Hawks Nest in 1880, their principal grievance then and in every strike since has been inadequate pay. The United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) was formed in 1890. For the next 43 years, the UMWA tried to organize southern West Virginia miners into the union. The UMWA's only leverage was to pull miners off the job and shut down the mines. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, these strikes became increasingly violent.
National labor leader Mary Harris "Mother" Jones was one of the principal leaders and agitators in the West Virginia labor movement from 1902 until the 1921 march on Blair Mountain. The Paint Creek-Cabin Creek Strike was one of the deadliest in American history. In April 1912, miners along Paint Creek in Kanawha County walked off the job, demanding higher wages, the right to organize, and an end to the hated mine-guard system. They were joined shortly by miners from nearby Cabin Creek. Due to continuing violence, Governor William Glasscock declared martial law and dispatched the National Guard to restore order three times. In 1913, new Governor Henry Hatfield essentially dictated a resolution to the strike, meeting few of the miners' demands. Miners, National Guard troops and the companies' mine guards set up camps and fought pitched battles for more than a year. The most notorious event occurred when mine guards shot blindly into a miners' tent colony, killing a man. A shootout at Matewan in 1920 started a war that raged between coal operators and the UMWA in Mingo and McDowell counties for more than a year.
On August 1, 1921, Sid Hatfield, the union hero of the Matewan Massacre, was killed by company-hired detectives. UMWA leaders provoked outraged miners to march on Mingo County in an attempt to force coal operators to accept the union—at gunpoint, if necessary.
On August 24, 5,000 armed miners began marching from Marmet, just outside Charleston. Standing between the marchers and Mingo County was Blair Mountain, a rugged mountain that guards the town of Logan. Logan County Sheriff Don Chafin gathered troops and established fortifications atop a high ridge on Blair Mountain. The first shooting occurred at Sharples on August 27 and soon escalated into a full-scale battle on Blair Mountain. On September 1, President Warren Harding dispatched U.S. Army troops to the region. Two days later, the miners began surrendering. When the fighting ended, at least 16 men, including 12 miners, had been killed. Blair Mountain was the last major battle of the southern West Virginia mine wars.
The mine wars nearly destroyed the UMWA. By the end of the 1920s, the union's membership in West Virginia had dropped to less than 1,000. President Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal finally turned the tide and allowed the UMWA to organize Mingo, McDowell and other counties in 1933.
The UMWA's new-found success gave the union extraordinary political power, choosing and electing congressmen, legislators and governors. The UMWA-supported Democratic Party has controlled the state legislature since Roosevelt was first elected in 1932.
The UMWA's membership dropped in the 1950s and 1960s as mining jobs disappeared. Today, UMWA membership is about one-half of its peak number in 1946; however, the numbers have declined far less dramatically than the drop in mining jobs.

LeBron James cleared to play after clearing COVID protocols
By	Sports Desk	December 02, 2021
Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James has been cleared to play by the NBA after returning two negative COVID-19 tests.
James entered the NBA's health and safety protocols on Tuesday, sitting out the 117-92 win over the Sacramento Kings due to a positive coronavirus test.
But James cleared the league's COVID protocols after additional testing confirmed the four-time champion and MVP was not a positive case.
"Following two negative PCR tests conducted more than 24 hours apart, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James has cleared the NBA's Health and Safety Protocols," the league said in a statement on Thursday.
"James was originally placed in the Protocols on Tuesday, November 30 after a series of tests delivered conflicting results, including an initial positive test that was collected on November 29. Additional testing confirmed that he is not a positive case.
"In accordance with the Protocols, and the consistent testing practice that has been in place since the 2019-20 Season Restart in Orlando, the sample that produced the initial positive test was re-run twice and returned one negative and one positive result on two different PCR instruments.
"As a result, James underwent additional testing on November 30, with one test returning a negative result and a second test resulting in a clinically inconclusive result."
It is a boost for the Lakers (12-11) ahead of Friday's showdown with crosstown rivals the Los Angeles Clippers (11-11).
James has been averaging 25.8 points, 6.8 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game for the Lakers, while shooting 48.4 per cent from the field and 34.4 from three-point range.

'Our margin for error is not great' – Donovan accepts Bulls need to improve after losing run goes on
Billy Donovan says the Chicago Bulls' "margin for error is not great" after losing for a fourth straight game in the absence of several key players.
Without the likes of Lonzo Ball, Zach LaVine and Alex Caruso, the Bulls were beaten 119-106 by the in-form Memphis Grizzlies on Monday.
Despite losing to the Grizzlies, the Boston Celtics, the Golden State Warriors and the Brooklyn Nets in successive games, Chicago are top of the Eastern Conference.
The Nets are now 27-15 for the season and have allowed an average of 127 points across those past four defeats, following a run of 14 wins from their previous 17.
And after committing 18 turnovers in an error-strewn performance against the Grizzlies, Donovan accepts an improvement is required.
"For us right now, our margin for error is not great," he said. "Turnovers here, offensive rebound, a couple easy transition points – we're going to have to eliminate those things.
"We've got to be really meticulous and good at taking care of the ball, defensive rebounding and getting back."
DeMar DeRozan led the Bulls with 24 points on 10 of 24 shooting, on top of his five assists, while Coby White finished with 16 points, six rebounds and five assists.
While the shorthanded Bulls are going through a rough patch, White believes there could be long-term gains for his side.
"I feel like this is a chance for us to grow," he said. "We're getting the opportunity now.
"I feel like we're just taking it day-by-day and trying to just grow and develop and get better for the team."
The Grizzlies have won 12 of their last 13 games and are third in the West ahead of a four-game road trip that begins against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday.
"I thought our guys came out ready," Memphis interim coach Darko Rajakovic said.
"I thought we did a really good job defensively. To be honest with you, I thought we were supposed to score even more.
"We missed a couple of chippies, a couple of open looks that we usually make."
Irving will not change vaccine stance despite Durant layoff: I'm standing rooted in what I believe in
Kyrie Irving does not feel compelled to change his stance regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, despite the Brooklyn Nets potentially being without Kevin Durant for six weeks.
The seven-time NBA All-Star has refused to be vaccinated against coronavirus and is therefore banned from playing in home games due to New York's vaccine mandate.
Irving was left off the Nets' initial roster for the 2021-22 season, but that decision was reversed last month when the 29-year-old was included as a part-time player.
He has been restricted to four road games so far and has averaged 20 points, which is down on his career average of 22.8.
The Nets could do with Irving more than ever after losing Durant to a knee injury that will keep him out for at least a month, but the point guard is staying rooted to his decision.
"That's what I think comes into a lot of this culture and basketball and sport and entertainment," he said. "You bring in teams and you bring in situations.
"Kev's going to heal, Kev's going to be okay, and we're going to have to deal with that as his team-mates.
"But in terms of where I am with my life outside of this, I stay rooted in my decision. And that's just what it is.
"It's not going to be swayed just because of one thing in this NBA life. That somehow it's brought to my attention as being more important than what's going on in the real world.
"It's just not happening for me. I respect everyone else's decision. I'm not going to try to convince anyone of anything or any of that, I'm just standing rooted in what I believe in.
"Though we're dealing with this right now with Kev, I know I'm protected by the organisation, by my team-mates, by all the doctors I've talked to. And I just stand rooted."
Irving was speaking after leading Brooklyn with 27 points in their 114-107 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday – his best tally since returning to action this month.
The Nets are once again denied the chance to partner star trio James Harden, Durant and Irving, but head coach Steve Nash is hopeful others can step up.
"It's a great opportunity for guys and our team to grow," he said. "We can't rely on Kevin in ways we could, and we have to find ways and solutions to be competitive without him."
The Nets' 'Big Three' have played only 16 games together, going 13-3 across that period.
"It's a great challenge for us," Nash added. "I don't spend time dwelling on it. It wouldn't do us any good. It wouldn't do me any good.
"It wouldn't do the team any good if the leader of the team is sitting at home contemplating how many games they haven't played.
"That would take me away from being excited and positive to come in every day and try to affect the group positively for these guys to feel empowered and to grow."
LeBron James scores 25 points as Lakers snap losing streak against Jazz
LeBron James scored 25 points as the Los Angeles Lakers snapped their three-game losing streak by beating the Utah Jazz on Monday.
A superb late show from Stanley Johnson, who hit 10 of his 15 points in the fourth quarter, saw the Lakers respond to their loss to the Denver Nuggets two days ago by winning 101-95.
Utah were hoping that size mattered, with Rudy Gobert playing his second game back following a positive coronavirus test and Anthony Davis still sidelined.
Gobert came up with 19 points and 16 rebounds, his second double-double in as many days despite not attempting a shot until the second quarter, but he could not prevent Johnson's clever layup move that put the Lakers 89-87 ahead.
In reality, it was Johnson's day: having been re-signed to a 10-day contract earlier, he scored six consecutive points in the final quarter and tied the game at 83-83, making seven of his nine shots.
Russell Westbrook's 15 points also proved key, but it was his spectacular dunk over Gobert in the second quarter – called for a technical foul – that drew the biggest cheers.
Booker hits season-high 48 as Suns roll on
The Phoenix Suns moved to 34-9 with a fourth win in a row, defeating the San Antonio Spurs 121-107.
Devin Booker scored 48 points, his best return in a game this season, finishing 18-for-33 from the field and sinking five of 13 three-point attempts.
Double-doubles from Chris Paul and Bismack Biyombo helped the Phoenix to a dominant fourth-quarter display, outscoring the Spurs 34-16 as they made it five straight wins in San Antonio.
Adebayo back with a Bam, Doncic drags Mavs past Thunder
The Miami Heat edged out the Toronto Raptors 104-99 as All-Star center Bam Adebayo returned from six weeks out following thumb surgery.
Adebayo's 14 points and a triple-double from Jimmy Buttler of 19 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds helped the Heat move into a virtual tie for the lead in the Eastern Conference with the struggling Chicago Bulls.
The Dallas Mavericks made it three wins in a row, a triple-double from Luka Doncic helping them to hold off a second-half comeback from the Oklahoma City Thunder in a 104-102 victory.
CJ McCollum, back from a 17-game absence caused by a collapsed lung, scored 16 points as the Portland Trail Blazers beat the Orlando Magic 98-88 – their 10th straight victory over the East's bottom side.

How India is Going Electric with Battery-Operated Vehicles
Surya Suresh
India is making headlines with its goals for sustainability as it looks to battery-operated vehicles. Recently, the country has made strides to match their part of the Paris Climate Agreement by converting rickshaws from using gasoline to rechargeable batteries.
One of the major problems the country faces is their air pollution, which in 2017 killed nearly 1.2 million people. The government hopes that with the implementation of their three-year scheme to subsidize electric vehicles, India's air quality can be improved.
India's Problem
India has a unique problem in that most modes of transportation do not utilize cars. Unlike Europe and the United States, Indian residents utilize rickshaws, motorcycles, and buses to get around from place to place. Electric vehicles such as Tesla's Model 3 are nowhere near affordable for the majority of residents.
To compromise, Chetan Maini, co-founder of SUN mobility, remarks, "When you separate the batteries, its cost [is] neutral in the immediate term and cheaper in the mid to long term." SUN mobility plans to provide its batteries and charging services to bus, rickshaw, and other vehicle manufacturers.
How Battery Swapping Works
Electric vehicle owners make regular stops at charging stations where the battery swapping process occurs. Rickshaw driver Pankaj Kumar explains how he swaps batteries by replacing the used-up batteries that are located beside the driver's seat with charged batteries located in one of the lockers in the station. Each battery is five inches wide by one foot long, weighing about 26 pounds. There are two such batteries that need to be replaced for the rickshaw.
How is It Helping the Environment?
With the conversion to battery-operated vehicles, India will soon be seeing big improvements to the air quality. In fact, transportation accounts for nearly 15% of India's greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, as more people make the switch to electric vehicles, paying for gas will become a thing of the past.
Taking steps to transform its auto industry, India is starting to make a name for itself in curbing climate change.

How Has Tesla Been Keeping Up with Sustainability?

What You Need To Know About Sustainable Transportation: Obstacles, Progress, And More
Emily Dao
The only way to save the planet is to take the road less traveled…literally. With more vehicles clogging up streets and contaminating the air, exacerbated cases of air pollution and travel inefficiency have risen. As a result, the call for sustainable transportation has never been stronger.
The transportation sector is one of the most polluting industries in the U.S. In fact, the EPA ranked the industry as the second greatest producer of carbon emissions. The agency says the country is responsible for half the world's greenhouse gas emissions—from cars alone.
This is despite the nation owning only 30% of the world's automobiles.
As human beings venture into this new decade, they're already going into a world brimming with potential for the future.
From plant-based meat to biodegradable tennis dresses, it's clear more businesses are recognizing the need for creativity in finding unique solutions in a commitment to sustainability.
So, when revamping current mobility systems, innovation will be the fuel driving sustainable transportation systems into the future.
How Technology Has Improved Sustainable Transportation in the US So Far
Already, major cities from Chicago to Washington D.C. are finding unique ways to ease people off the gas pedal. The more mainstream adoption of bike-sharing services, added bike lanes, and gradual introduction of electric buses are just some examples.
Plus, talk of self-driving cars and companies like Tesla commercializing electric vehicles, makes it seems like the future of sustainable transportation is full of promise.
With all these efforts, it seems like the numbers are reflecting a desire from the public to reduce their footprint. A study from Cox Automotive found that 4 in 10 consumers agreed transportation was necessary, but owning a car wasn't.
However, despite this, there are still reportedly way too many vehicles on the road.
Last April, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported travel on roads and streets had experienced a 2.5% increase from 2019 to 2018. That's an estimated 6.8 billion vehicle mile change. So, why is that?
We had the opportunity to chat with Liad Itzhak, SVP of HERE Mobility, a transit hub offering regional mobility options through a cloud-based platform that connects businesses and customers in real-time.
Liad Itzhak, SVP of HERE Mobility
Here's what he told us.
Obstacles in Reaching Scale
Itzhak identifies traffic and emissions as the biggest issues in sustainable transportation today. This is a problem that is especially salient in urban areas.
"Despite the decline in personal car ownership, there are too many vehicles on the roads today," Itzhak said. "Another major factor is that the first and last miles of peoples' journeys are often left unaccounted for and public transportation is not successfully filling these gaps."
Itzhak says ride-sharing giants like Uber and Lyft are one major reason why cars are still blocking the roads.
He says the two corporations have dominated the market by undercutting prices for regional mobility suppliers, who are unable to compete.
Due to this, it means more cars are congesting the road. Together, Statista found that Uber and Lyft rack in more than 127 million users—and that's just per month.

As these ride-sharing apps become more mainstream, it also indicates a decrease in public transit reliance. The Sierra Club noted without these transportation services, 60% of Uber and Lyft users would've instead opted for public transit, walked, or biked.
The Need to Prioritize Time and Convenience in Achieving Sustainable Transportation
But there's a reason for this preference. The biggest factor in determining how people get from Point A to Point B is convenience.
Although public transit is almost always the cheaper option, it's often a lot more costly in time.
Plus, when considering conditions such as the first and last mile problem, people crowding, poor weather, this can be a much more desirable option.
According to CityLab study in Chicago, 90% of rides were faster when opting for a ride-sharing service rather than public transit.
Although many Americans value sustainability and action in combatting climate change, they also value time. Innovation is all about advancing in order to make life easier and more convenient.
So, when finding solutions, mobility providers will need to recognize this human priority.
Increased Commitments to Creating More Sustainable Transportation Options
Many other cities are becoming prominent players in the sustainable transportation space—especially Barcelona and Singapore.
These two "smart cities" have taken serious steps towards achieving more efficient and sustainable transportation within their city.
Some smart city initiatives include heavy investments in public transit and intelligent traffic management systems.
Itzhak says data-driven technology and multiple transportation options are key to achieving this "smart city" status.
Cities like Paris, Oslo, and Madrid have also been implementing new innovations in a commitment to sustainability.
For instance, strict regulations on diesel vehicles and rising gas taxes have been a part of major European efforts to one day become car-free.
To achieve this goal, many cities are investing more in making public transit more available and efficient for its citizens.
"Many cities are making strides towards sustainable transportation…and many are working on their own smart transit solutions," Itzhak said. "With climate change and urbanization on the rise, they're under pressure to develop smart mobility systems."
A Look Forward
It's easy to say the road to fighting climate change will be a long and bumpy one. However, by employing more innovative solutions prioritizing time and convenience, there's still hope for a cleaner, more eco-friendly world.
This means that repeating the same patterns isn't going to cut it anymore. In order for real change to be enacted, it will involve creativity and innovation. With thriving smart cities like Singapore and Barcelona as inspiration, it's clear advanced technology is the right route to go.
For the human race, time is the most important, nonrenewable resource. As the issue of climate change becomes more urgent, it just goes to show that now is the time to act.

JetBlue Airways Will Become Carbon Neutral By July 2020, Making It The First In US History
Avery Maloto
This year, JetBlue Airways Corporation may become the first large U.S. airline to go carbon neutral.
As the quickest way around the world, the airline industry engages with over 4 billion individuals each year. However, it is one of the largest contributors to global greenhouse gas emissions.
Shockingly, a singular commercial flight produces more carbon dioxide than the amount that some citizens produce in an entire year. Taking note of the situation, environmental activists are putting the travel industry under fire and calling out its contribution to climate change.
However, amidst all of the criticism, JetBlue is choosing to step up to the challenge.
In order to do so, the company is set to invest in eco-friendly projects across the globe.
JetBlue Goes Green With Fuel Choices
In a press release publicized on Monday, JetBlue vowed to mitigate emissions and go carbon neutral by July 2020. With expanding efforts, JetBlue can offset 15 to 17 billion pounds of carbon dioxide emissions annually. This is equivalent to removing 1.5 million passenger vehicles off the road each year.
As the leading project in its initiative, the company will be beginning to use sustainable fuel for all flights outbound of San Francisco. Fortunately, the fuel is already fully compatible with the existing jet engine technology.
JetBlue commits to using sustainable fuel for all flights outbound of San Francisco.
Sustainable fuels, or biomass fuels, are any fuels derived from a once-living matter. For example, wood, corn, and other waste from agricultural crops are used in its production. This provides a sustainable solution to fossil fuels being popularly used today.
As of 2018, airplanes produce 11% of all CO2 emissions in the world and significantly contribute to climate change. However, by utilizing this alternative, JetBlue says that they can reduce each flight's fuel carbon footprint by 80%.
JetBlue Makes Becoming Carbon Neutral A Group Effort
On top of its sustainable fuel swap-out, JetBlue stated that they will continue to partner with Carbonfund.org. As a U.S. nonprofit organization, Carbonfund.org focuses on reducing carbon emissions and creating climate solutions.
The airline company and the nonprofit have been working together since 2008. In the last 10 years, the two have already mitigated more than 2.6 billion pounds of CO2 emissions.
On top of this, JetBlue now has new carbon offsetting partners. Adding to the list, EcoAct and South Pole are working with the company to promote carbon-neutral travels.
Airline Goes Green On Land Too
As part of its carbon offsetting program, the airline company is engaging with projects around the world to mitigate the overall need for jet fuel. Focusing on areas that will opt for eco-friendly, renewable resources, JetBlue is striving to lower emissions in the atmosphere when possible.
Currently, JetBlue announced support of carbon offset projects such as:
Forest conservation by declining plans that will convert forests for other purposes.
Promoting landfill gas capture (LFG) and converting it into renewable energy resources.
Developing solar and wind farms to replace the need for fossil fuels like coal, diesel, and furnace oil.
JetBlue did not disclose the cost of any of its sustainable programs.
Collaboration Pivotal in Becoming Carbon Neutral Industry-Wide
According to JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes, the solution to this problem is a community effort.

Hopefully, JetBlue achieves its mission and inspires others to do the same. If several other companies follow JetBlue's environmental initiatives, the future of airline travels may be promising.

Elon Musk Announces The Tesla Cybertruck: What We Know So Far
Steven Li
Just yesterday, Elon Musk announced the new Tesla Cybertruck. And it has already gotten quite a bit of attention. Beginning production in 2021, having a starting price of just over $39,000, being able to go 500 miles on a single full charge, and having an entirely different design compared to all other Tesla vehicles, the truck is a beast of its own.
What To Expect From The Tesla Cybertruck
In Tesla's marketing materials, it describes the Cybertruck as one that "has better utility than a truck with more performance than a sports car".
It has a robust exoskeleton, which the company has designed to optimize for the truck's durability. On the exterior of the Tesla Cybertruck, the company has chosen to leverage stainless steel to protest against dents.

The truck also has a 3,500-pound payload capacity and can tow a whopping 14,000 pounds, according to Tesla.
Even still, the truck can go from zero to 60 miles-per-hour is just 2.9 seconds.

It, like other models, also comes with a premium option to include software for self-driving capabilities.
Competition And Implications
But the market won't be easy to take. So far, the Rivian R1T and the (EV) Ford F Series have projections to both beat Tesla to market. Though in comparison, the R1T goes for about $30,000 more than the Tesla Cybertruck.
And on the other hand, the Ford F Series starts at a price point about $10,000 lower than the pickup truck; currently, it is still gas-powered. And like Elon has said in the past, the Cybertruck indeed has the F-Series beat.
Considering the current Cybertruck prototype, some experts believe consumers will favor Rivian or Ford due to their less polarizing designs. Here's what they look like:
Rivian's R1T
Ford's F-Series
But considering its incredible specs, especially at its price point, the Tesla Cybertruck will be a force to be reckoned with. Rivian projects to launch its R1T by the end of 2020, reaching the market before Tesla by just a few months.
The race is on.

Side Street (1950)
Posted on April 29, 2018 by 4StarFilmFan
Though director Anthony Mann later made a name for himself with a string of Westerns pairing him with James Stewart, it's just as easy to enjoy him for some of the diverting crime pictures he helped craft. Everything from Raw Deal (1948) to T-Men (1947), He Walked by Night (1948), and of course this little number.
Another simple pleasure gleaned from Side Street is the second teaming of the two young starlets Farley Granger and Cathy O'Donnell who made such an impression together in Nicholas Ray's sensitive drama They Drive By Night (1948)
We begin this particular picture with a flyover of New York City and the "Voice of God" narration comes off as another installment of The Naked City (1947) because it too takes to the streets, shot on location in the city of a thousand stories with thousands more waiting to happen.
There's something engrossing in this style of storytelling which takes interest in several seemingly unextraordinary, unconnected individuals and then over the course of less than an hour and a half slowly ties together all the threads of their lives into one cohesive narrative.
There are some calling cards of crime pictures including sleazy extortion, a body fished out of the East River, and the police who are working the beats of the case and trying to keep the frenzy of journalists at bay. Paul Kelly and Charles McGraw head up the police procedural angle.
But the man we come to know the best is unassuming postman Joe Norson (Granger), who becomes extra jumpy after unwittingly stealing thousands of dollars when he thought he only swiped a few bucks to buy his wife a mink coat. He's just a poor, small, unimportant little man in the scheme of things. An "Average Joe" if you pardon the expression. He's not supposed to be embroiled in such a story. It's a bigger can of worms than he could ever imagine and there are consequences.
Other people of interest are wealthy businessmen, crooked lawyers, cabbies, bar owners, bank tellers, journalists, cops on the verge of retirement, nightclub singers, and at least a few ex-cons, all the usual standard bearers.
Joe's wife is in the latest stages of her pregnancy and shortly her baby is on the way but her husband has made up a fanciful story about a new out-of-town job that's loaded him with cash. Of course, she has no idea what's going on and nor does he. He asks a near stranger, the man who runs the local bar to hold the cash for him. He says it's a nightgown for his wife.
But Joe's not a criminal. His guilty conscience is too much for him so he goes back to the office to plead with them to let him return the money. Of course, they have as much right to it as he does. What follows is a cat and mouse chase across the city. First, some thugs tail Joe looking for the $30,000. Then, Joe and ex-convict George Garsell look for the bar owner who has all but disappeared and conveniently the money's gone too.
As the police are also involved, they want both men, believing they are complicit in different murders that have been committed. Joe has just enough time with his wife to explain his predicament. Still, he got himself into this mess and he holds the belief that he is the only one who can make it right.
What follows is a culmination of all the events thus far as all the character arcs begin to bump up against each other. Namely, Joe, a local nightclub singer (Jean Hagen), and the last man that Joe wanted to see, Garsell himself.
Side Street closes out with a lively car chase near The Third Avenue El that predates many of the revered classics from Bullitt (1968) to The French Connection (1971) years later. The full weight of the title's meaning, subsequently makes itself increasingly clear as squads of police cars look to close in on the criminal's getaway taxi. Of course, what makes it compelling is the fact that Joe is right in the thick of it all to the very last avenue…with a loaded gun pointed at his head. Thankfully there are no speed bumps in this one.

Њемачки цар () била је званична титула шефа државе и насљедног владара Њемачког царства. Посебно изабран појам, уведен је уставом од 1. јануара 1871. и трајао је до званичне абдикације Вилхелма II 28. новембра 1918. године. За цара Светог римског царства се понекад у јасном историјском контексту користи и назив "њемачки цар", што је изведено од званичног назива Светог римског царства "Свето римско царство њемачког народа" из 1512. године.

Након револуције 1918, шеф државе је био предсједник Рајха (), а први је ту дужност обављао Фридрих Еберт.
