HAWAI'I CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION TO NAVY SECRETARY: NAVY MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY TO TEST, PROTECT WATER, PROVIDE HAWAI'I RESIDENTS WITH ACCESS TO SAFE WATER
WASHINGTON – U.S. Senators Brian Schatz (D-Hawai'i) and Mazie K. Hirono (D-Hawai'i) and U.S. Representatives Ed Case (D-Hawai'i) and Kaiali'i Kahele (D-Hawai'i) released the following statement after meeting with Navy Secretary Carlos Del Toro to discuss fuel operations in Hawai'i.
"Today, we met with Secretary Del Toro to discuss our concerns with Red Hill and the Navy's fuel operations in Hawai'i. The Navy owes the community straightforward communications on all events that occur at Red Hill and a commitment to address concerns with the Red Hill infrastructure no matter the cost. Given the resources and engineering expertise available to the Navy, we made it clear that there is zero tolerance for endangering the health and safety of the public or the environment. Most recently, reports of fuel potentially contaminating the water supply at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam followed by a slow, inadequate response are especially troubling. The Navy must act immediately and do everything it can to expedite the testing being done on the mainland to determine any risks to the drinking water. It also needs to ensure that residents in all affected areas have access to safe drinking water until the Navy and state regulators can assure the public it is safe. We also expect clear and consistent communication with the public about all matters, but particularly those that impact health and safety."

NASDAQ Futures are up 29 with +33 Fair Value, Dow Futures are up 122. Earnings season is beginning to wind down, Shake Shack (SHAK) and Rackspace (RAX) report after the bell today. Warren is planning to spend 37.2 billion for Precision Castparts, his biggest deal yet.
AAPL had a brutally rough week last week, dropping from 122 to 115 with some deep valleys in-between on "concerns" of China growth.
This morning in pre-market, AAPL opened up near 116 and quickly broke through, heading towards 117 without looking back. There is much buzz building of an Apple event in September and a new report has surfaced that Apple broke the App Store record with staggering sales figures of over 1.7 billion dollars in July alone. AAPL took a brief technical pause at 7:06am, momentarily dipping back to 116.06 on 1.41k shares and then resumed upwards. The trend in pre-market is up on moderate to high volume with a momentary peak at 116.78 at 8:40am on nearly 16k shares. AAPL is currently up 1.23 at 116.75.

Q: Read local storage from nginx I'm running a web app behind nginx setup as reverse proxy. The user's JWT is stored in the browser's local storage.
Is it possible (and if yes, how?) to read the token as stored in the browser's local storage upon requests in nginx?
Thanks!

A: No. The Browser's Local storage doesn't get transmitted with a request. You will need to modify the request to first read the jwt from localstorage then apply that to the request.
Since no language was tagged I will provide a basic off the cuff javascript example
$.ajaxSetup({
    beforeSend: function(xhr) {
        var myProp = localStorage.myProperty;
        xhr.setRequestHeader('x-my-custom-header', myProp);
    }

So Where Does the "Lila" in Lilasuds com from?
Those of you that have been around may know that my name is in fact not Lila. Far from it. My name is Desirée (Deh-see-reh). I prefer to hear my name pronounced in Spanish as I grew up listening to it, but Deh-suh-ray is OK too. Now that we have that out of the way, why Lila (Lee-lah) then?
Well, it goes back to my mother. The superwoman that gave me life is named Dalila (Dah-lee-lah, not Dah-lai-lah). A very long time ago when MSN Messenger ruled my after school hours and I poured myself hours into deciding who made it into my top 8 on MySpace, I decided Lila had a ring to it that really appealed to me. Since then it has blessed every single username I have ever owned and it was almost my cat's Ulla's name when we adopted her (we opted to keep the one she had been baptized with at the shelter).
It's quite obvious I have been inspired by my mother ever since I was born. She's an artist and to me it was normal to always have every type of art supply readily available at my reach. She was never one to prohibit any expression of my creativity. She let me scribble all over our walls, my reading books, and my dolls' faces. She let me use her expensive Liquitex paints instead of the cheaper craft paints that were supposed to be used for said artistic expressions of a 5-year old (I knew those craft ones were not good enough for my inner artiste). Our house walls were covered with her expressive large format artwork. Later on in my teens when I dabbled in paint, my work started accompanying hers on the walls. I quickly realized that I didn't like painting. My jam was drawing and printmaking. So, while we differ in mediums, we are incredibly similar in techniques. You can say her trace rubbed off on me. Even my handwriting as an adult looks almost exactly like hers. Those labels on your packages with my handwritten "Are you ready to honor yourself?". Yeah, that could have easily been written by her!
So when it came to name my soap company, DUH. Lila was the front runner. I wanted a name that was catchy and descriptive but not too specific into soap. It was a no brainer really. I didn't even think about it too much and it stuck. Lilasuds. All in one word. Short, quick, easy (I think).
For May I usually launch a soap inspired by her art called Aguas. As of a few years ago her art shifted gears from depicting organic textures into expressing the visual rhythms of the ocean. We're from an island and we're surrounded by water, so it's second nature to her. She's been exploring vibrant tones of blues and incredible large-format texture. So this year, the May collection was all about florals and with her permission, she let me move Aguas to June as it has a more summery feel.
My first Aguas soap was a typical beach soap (as shown above). Sand, water, the works. This particular design has become a bit saturated in the soap world so I decided to switch it up a bit to fit more within my company branding, as well as to make it a bit more abstract. She taught me to always push to break the mold that way. So I decided to take some elements from her art that called out to me and represent them in the design: the bold flash of color, textures, sea foam. The blue swirled insert represents the waves she likes to depict in her paintings. The pearls and white represent bubbles and sea foam. The gold is the little metallic touches she likes to incorporate into her work. I love how the redesign looks. It compliments her work nicely and doesn't feel overdone.
So yeah, that's how Lilasuds got its name and how Aguas came to be. It's all about my mother! I've mentioned before how much she means to me. She was a single mother that to this day still works hard for us and what she has. She ALWAYS taught me by example to be independent, hard working, curious, and to educate myself. She is currently finishing her PhD at 64 on Counseling and Art Therapy. It's also her birthday this month, so May is very special to me because not only do I get to celebrate her as my mother but I also get to celebrate her life. Happy birthday, mamita linda! <3

NYC child hospitalized after falling nine stories from Bronx apartment
A 2-year-old boy was hospitalized after falling nine stories from his apartment window in The Bronx on Friday, police said.
The tot slipped out at around 5:45 p.m., through an opening cops believe had previously housed an air conditioning unit in NYCHA's Forest Houses on Trinity Ave near E. 165th Street in Morrisania, the NYPD said.
The boy's mother and an 11-year-old girl were present at the time. He was taken to Harlem hospital in critical condition, but was expected to survive, police said.
Neighbors told News 12 they heard the mom screaming "Help, my son fell out of the window."
First responders to arrive had to use a bolt cutter to get through a fence and into an enclosed area where the child had fallen.
"It's heartbreaking," neighbor Theresa Marti told the outlet. "Just to be a parent and to scream out 'Help, my baby fell out the window.'"
The child fell from the 9th floor of a NYCHA's Forest Houses building.

The child was transported to a local hospital in critical condition.

The short answer is that there's no single "yes or no" answer to that or similar questions; what's "effective" for one traveler is often useless to another.
You earn a substantial numbers of miles by flying. Then, you can combine the miles you earn through your credit card with the miles you earn by flying. That way you can build your total more quickly than if your flying miles and purchase miles are split into two separate accounts.
You use them to fly in business or first class, either with "free" tickets or with upgrades. Within the 48 contiguous states (and a few points in Canada and the Caribbean), for example, the big lines all charge 25,000 miles for an award round-trip in coach or 50,000 miles in first or business class, but you can upgrade many coach tickets for 10,000 miles each way. The premium to fly in a comfortable seat is far less with airline miles than when you're paying, and you can't buy upgrades at all.
Keep in mind, however, that availability of "free" seats and upgrades at the standard mileage prices ranges from difficult to impossible.
Bank miles are best when you earn most of your miles through your credit card. The reason is simple. When you accumulate enough points to buy a ticket, the bank buys you a ticket, with no worries about limits on frequent flyer seats, and no limits on which airline and schedule best suits your trip.
Keep in mind, however, that if you want to fly in a comfortable seat, bank miles are close to worthless. You (or the bank) can often buy a long-haul coach ticket for, say, $300 round-trip, but a first class seat on that same route would cost four to five times as much, and maybe even more.
For those of you who are interested, here is additional background information on miles and points.
Airline miles came first. Initially, you earned them only by flying on the sponsor airline or its partners. All of the big lines followed American's lead in structuring their programs. You earned miles by flying, with bonuses for business and first class, and used those miles for "free" trips or upgrades. The objective was to build "loyalty" to the sponsor line by offering incentives to use its flights as often as you could.
The big change came when airlines started selling miles to other companies that used them to attract or retain customers for products and services that had little or nothing to do with travel. Although all sorts of companies bought miles from the airlines, credit card issuers were among the first to do so in a big way—and, apparently, they still buy far more miles than any other non-airline outfits. Each big airline formed an alliance with a major cared-issuing bank, and the cards generally paid one frequent flyer mile for every dollar charged to the card.
About the time credit card issuers (and others) started buying huge volumes of miles, the airlines' primary objective morphed from building loyalty to generating profits. As a result, the airlines lavished us with more miles than ever, but made it virtually impossible to find any "free" seats without paying double to triple the base-level mileages. Recent surveys show—as you might expect—the "loyalty" part of the programs is wearing thin with more and more travelers. Despite weakening on the benefit side, however, airline miles retain some key advantages over bank miles, as noted above.
To help ease the pain of nonexistant award seats, some of the big lines have started to let you use their miles for other travel services and even for merchandise. In most cases, however, the "exchange rate" you get for your miles is pretty low.
Noting the decreased value of the airline programs, several banks decided to run their own programs, not tied to any single airline. As our reader indicated, Capital One is one of the biggest players in that market.
The best way to look at bank miles is as a cash rebate—similar to the cash rebates you get with Discover and some other non-airline cards. If you choose to use that rebate for an air ticket, fine, but most programs let you use it for many other purchases, too.
The one thing you can't do, however, is combine those miles with the ones you earn by flying. They're two separate accounts and will remain separate no matter what.
Lots of bank cards offer bank-miles programs. Check a site such as IndexCreditCards.com for cards with attractive combinations of rewards, rates, and charges. Overall, Capital One is a favorite of travelers because it has a reasonably good exchange rate (points to dollars) and does not surcharge overseas purchase transactions, but other programs have advantages, too.
American Express and Diners Club give you some of both worlds. Early on, they cut deals that allowed users to dump accumulated credit-card points into airline mileage programs for a bunch of different airlines. The number of airlines participating in those two programs has eroded a bit over the years, but either card can still put points into 20 or more different airline programs.
But you can also use AmEx and Diners Club points to buy tickets, other travel services, or even get cash, at a fairly standard exchange rate. They also offer merchandise exchanges, but the prices in "points" are pretty high compared with what you can get with cash.
United's new program also allows both uses, as well, but its exchange rate of miles to non-airline purchases is worse than most banks' programs.

Q: Why we impose finite countability to be closed in $\sigma$-algebra $\mathscr{F}$ In $\sigma$-algebra, denoted as $\mathscr{F}$, one of the 3 main conditions that we impose to have a $\sigma$-algebra is the fact that for countable subsets $\{A_i, i\ge 1\}$, we need these subsets to be closed under unions:
$$
\bigcup_i{A_i}\in \mathscr{F}
$$
Question: However, $\mathscr{F}$ itself might have uncountable subsets, so I am confused to distinguish between the condition we just imposed for subsets to be closed under unions and the fact that $\mathscr{F}$ might have uncountable subsets? Can you please clarify this?

A: I think you misunderstood a thing about the $\sigma$-algebra
One condition for $\mathscr{F}$ to be a $\sigma$-algebra is that the union of contable many sets $A_i$ (where $A_i \in \mathscr{F}$ can in fact be uncountable) must be again an element of $\mathscr{F}$
For example $\mathscr{F} = P(\mathbb{R})$ is a $\sigma$ -algebra (in fact any powerset is).
And $P(\mathbb{R})$ contains elements that are uncountable.
$\mathscr{F}$ doesn't need to have countably infinite sets.
Consider a set $X = \{1,2,3\}$ and $\mathscr{F}= \{ \emptyset, X, \{1\}, \{2,3\} \}$
That's a $\sigma$ -algebra (try to check the conditions).

Shea Nutter: Give me Liberty or give me 'right-to-work' (or both)
By DAVID GROVES
OLYMPIA (Dec. 7, 2016) — If Republican Rep. Matt Shea had his way, Washington would become an anti-union "right-to-work" state. But in a mostly blue state with a Democratic governor and divided Legislature, he knows that's unlikely to happen. So Shea has a backup plan: split off Eastern Washington into a new state called Liberty.
Shea, the infamous Spokane Valley extremist with a history of advocating for domestic separatist and terrorist groups, has sponsored and prefiled bills for the 2017 legislative session to accomplish both goals.
HB 1006 would make Washington the 27th state to ban employment contracts that include union-security clauses, which require all covered employees to pay a fair-share fee to help cover the cost of representation. In so-called right-to-work states, the government bans employers and employees from agreeing to these clauses. Unions are required to represent all employees, whether they pay a fee or not. This promotes "free riders" who get the union benefits and representation for nothing, thus dramatically defunding and weakening unions.
Shea has co-sponsored right-to-work legislation before, but it has never gotten a hearing in the Democratic-controlled House, nor is it likely to in 2017. Which brings us to Plan B.
HJM 4000 appeals to "the Honorable Donald Trump, President of the United States" and Congress to "consent to the formation of a new state to be named and known as Liberty" that would encompass the portion of Washington east of the Cascade Mountains. Shea's reasoning:
"Since statehood, the lifestyles, culture, and economies of eastern and western Washington have been very distinct and dramatically different, while the urbanization and rapid growth in the western portions of the state has progressively heightened this divergence of cultural and economic values between the western and eastern portions of the state."
Presumably, Liberty would not only be a right-to-work state, it would be a place where citizens wouldn't live in fear — as Shea does — of being rounded up and put into concentration camps by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In Liberty, citizens would be free to seize federal property and take up arms against federal employees because, you know that the citizens of Liberty would be well-armed. In Liberty, Representative (or perhaps, Governor?) Shea wouldn't have to make up fake quotes by the Founding Fathers to try to ensure that guns proliferate. And in Liberty, Shea could freely force his wife to walk on his left side because his sword would be on his right side — you know, if he carried a sword.
Both of Shea's above-mentioned bills are co-sponsored by fellow Republican Reps. David Taylor (R-Moxee) and Bob McCaslin (R-Spokane Valley).

"John Wick" – Review by Daniel Rester
Daniel Rester October 22, 2014
Don't Touch John Wick 's Car or Puppy, or You Will Die
Review by Daniel Rester
John Wick finds Keanu Reeves as an ass-kicking ex-hitman who doesn't say much. Talk about good casting. Let's face it: Reeves doesn't have the widest amount of range in terms of showing emotion. However, the actor always has presence and likability on his side, and he is a lot of fun to watch in action mode when it's done right. John Wick is done right.
The film has Reeves as the title character, who is a retired hitman grieving over the death of his wife. As a last present, she gives him a puppy so that he won't be lonely. Ahhhhh. But it isn't long before a group of Russian gangsters mess up by treating Wick's dog poorly and stealing his car (a beautiful '69 Mustang). Big mistake.
Wick soon goes after the thieves, who are led by a creep named Iosef Tarasov (Alfie Allen, who has a young Malcolm McDowell type of look). It turns out that Iosef is the son of Viggo Tarasov (Michael Nyqvist), a crime boss from Wick's past life. This leads to a bloodbath as Wick battles Viggo's men to get to Iosef.
John Wick is a film that could have easily been terrible if put in the wrong hands. Derek Kolstad's script has a few witty lines and does a good job at providing a variety of criminal character personalities in brief doses, but the writing also has practically zero character depth and rides on a simple revenge storyline. Such basic material really relies on the strength of the filmmaking, and thankfully director Chad Stahelski was the right pick for the job.
Stahelski, who usually does stunt work, is aided here by David Leitch – another stunt coordinator who also gets co-director credit for John Wick. The two men clearly know their stuff when it comes to the action genre. The film is short, quick, exciting, and violent. It's also never rendered as either pretentious or too stupid. The filmmakers just have their sites on making a fun and bloody R-rated action flick, and they succeed.
Stahelski and Leitch infuse each scene with a style and slickness that is entertaining without ever being distracting. The use of color, wide shots, smooth close-up tracking shots, and guitar-heavy music all fit excellently with the crazy amount of fighting and gunplay going on. It's refreshing to get a straight-up hardcore action film that is fluid and doesn't resort to shaky cam and chopped-up editing in order to try and get a PG-13 rating. One particular scene involving a nightclub provides a lesson in Grade-A action filmmaking, and it's easily the best scene in the film.
This is the type of film where it looks like the cast is having fun but also making sure that you will have fun too. Reeves is great to watch here with a return-to-form type of performance that recalls his best moments in his films from the 1990s. The actor is loose, charming, and physical here, making Wick a badass who is easy to get behind.
Surrounding Reeves are a bunch of welcome faces with bit parts as car dealers, assassins, etc. They include such people as Willem Dafoe, John Leguizamo, Ian McShane, Adrianne Palicki, Lance Reddick, and David Patrick Kelly. Everyone does the best with what they have, turning the side characters into lived-in people who make an impact despite having little screen time. Nyqvist and Allen are also effectively slimy as the lead bad guys.
John Wick isn't a film with layered characters or a complex story (and it does get repetitive in the final stretch), but it makes up for those lacking areas by delivering with atmosphere and breakneck action. An action junkie gets plenty to take in here with hand-to-hand fighting, guns of all kind blazing, cool environments, and fast cars. Plus there is a cute puppy as the cherry on top. John Wick is definitely no groundbreaker, but it serves its purpose well for what it is.
Score: 3 out of 4 stars (Grade Equivalent for Me: B).
MPAA Rating: R (for strong and bloody violence throughout, language and brief drug use).
Runtime: 1 hour and 41 minutes.
U.S. Release Date: October 24th, 2014.

It's a miracle was the last track recorded for the album, we based it on the rhythm from the middle of 'Late Home Tonight, where there's Graham Broad playing lots and lots of drums with me shouting in the background, pretending to be a mad Arab leader.
I think there are things in my story that have helped my creativity. Your father being killed, for instance, is one of the best things that could happen to a kid if he's going to write poetry or songs.
For an artist to go and play in a country that occupies other people's land and oppresses them, the way Israel does, is plain wrong. They should say no.
I could have been an architect, but I don't think I'd have been very happy. Nearly all modern architecture is a silly game as far as I can see.
We were contracted to make a soundtrack album but there really wasn't enough new material in the movie to make a new record that I thought was interesting.
I'm in competition with myself and I'm losing.
Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there's a natural desire to want to make records.
I would not rule out going to Israel because I disapprove of the foreign policy any more than I would refuse to play in the UK because I disapprove of Tony Blair's foreign policy.
I confess I've never felt like a passenger.

From the Photos: Packers' 2020 season so far in pictures series
From the Green Bay Packers' season opener against the Vikings in Minnesota to their regular-season finale against the Bears in Chicago, get the inside scoop on what the 2020 NFL schedule has in store for coach Matt LaFleur's squad.
WEEK 1 | AT MINNESOTA
Date: Sept. 13
Time: Noon
Last meeting: The Packers defeated the Vikings, 23-10, at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on Dec. 23, 2019, to improve to 12-3 on the season and clinch the NFC North Division title. Packers running back Aaron Jones (above) had a season-high 154 rushing yards on 23 carries, scoring twice on the ground.
Player to watch: The Vikings' top pick in the 2020 NFL draft, LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson (No. 22 overall) could make his first appearance in the storied rivalry when the teams meet to open the season. In three season with the Tigers, the 6-foot-1 Jefferson racked up 2,415 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns.
You should know: The Packers, winners of both meetings last season, lead the all-time regular-season series with a record of 61-53-3 against the Vikings.
WEEK 2 | VS. DETROIT
Last meeting: The Packers held off the Lions, 23-20, in their regular-season finale on Dec. 29, 2019, to finish the season with a 13-3 record under first-year head coach Matt LaFleur. While Aaron Rodgers completed 27 of 55 pass attempts for 323 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, it was kicker Mason Crosby (above) who proved to be the hero in the closing seconds, hitting a 33-yard field goal as time expired to give Green Bay the victory.
Player to watch: Veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, who missed the Lions' final meeting with the Packers last season after playing in only half of Detroit's games, is seen by some NFL insiders as due for a strong rebound this season. In his one appearance against Green Bay last season, Stafford completed 18 of 32 passes for 265 yards with no touchdowns and a passer rating of 83.5. Entering his 12th season, Stafford had previously been a steady presence for the Lions, not missing a regular-season game the previous eight seasons.
You should know: After winning both meetings last season, the Packers extended their head-to-head lead over the Lions to 100-72-7 in regular-season matchups.
WEEK 3 | AT NEW ORLEANS
Last meeting: When the Packers and Saints meet this season it will have been nearly three years since they last faced each other, when New Orleans won 26-17 on Oct. 22, 2017, at Lambeau Field. With Rodgers out due to injury, backup quarterback Brett Hundley, making his first start, couldn't get the job done, completing only 12 of 25 passes for 87 yards with no touchdowns and one interception. Saints QB Drew Brees didn't have one of his best outings (27 of 38 for 331 yards with one TD and two interceptions) but it was enough to get the job done on the road as Green Bay managed only 3 points in the second half after leading 14-7 at the break.
Player to watch: Wisconsin football fans are well aware of the damage New Orleans rookie linebacker Zack Baun is capable of inflicting on an offense. Baun, taken by the Saints in the third round (No. 74 overall), had a strong career for the Badgers, finishing his four years in Madison with 152 tackles, 15 sacks and two interceptions.
You should know: During the teams' 2017 meeting at Lambeau Field, Packers legend Bart Starr (above) was in attendance as Green Bay celebrated the 50th anniversary of its 1967 championship team. It would be the last pubic appearance at a Packers game for the Hall of Fame quarterback, who passed away at the age of 85 on May 26, 2019.
WEEK 4 | VS. ATLANTA
Date: Oct. 5 (Monday)
Last meeting: The Packers defeated the Falcons, 34-20, on Dec. 9, 2018, at Lambeau Field. Despite taking four sacks, Rodgers turned in a solid outing, completing 21 of 32 attempts for 196 yards and two touchdowns as Packers interim coach Joe Philbin (above) picked up his first win just seven days after longtime coach Mike McCarthy's ouster.
Player to watch: Cornerback AJ Terrell, taken by Atlanta with the 16th pick in this year's NFL draft, could cause headaches for Green Bay's thin receiver corps. The 6-foot-1 Terrell finished his three-year career at Clemson with 101 tackles, two forced fumbles and six interceptions. Clemson fell to LSU, 42-25, in last season's College Football Championship, with Terrell registering five tackles in his final collegiate game.
You should know: The Packers had reportedly asked the league for a road date for Week 4, with the University of Wisconsin football team scheduled to face Notre Dame on Saturday, Oct. 3, at Lambeau Field. Instead, Lambeau is now set to host two games in a span of three days.
WEEK 5 | BYE
WEEK 6 | AT TAMPA BAY
Date: Oct. 18
Last meeting: While Green Bay defeated Tampa Bay, 26-20, on Dec. 3, 2017, at Lambeau, these are far from the same Buccaneers. During the teams' last meeting, then third-year QB Jameis Winston, en route to 3-10 mark under center on the season, had a roller-coaster performance. Despite throwing for 270 yards and two touchdowns without an interception, Winston was sacked seven times as Green Bay needed an overtime score from running back Aaron Jones (above) to pull out the victory.
Player to watch: Two words — Tom Brady. A sure-fire first-ballot Hall of Famer and one of the all-time great quarterbacks, Brady shocked the football world this offseason when he left the New England Patriots after 20 years — and six Super Bowl victories — to head south in hopes of turning around the woeful Bucs, who finished last season with a 5-11 record.
You should know: Brady isn't the only big-name addition Tampa Bay made this offseason. One of Brady's favorite targets in New England, tight end Rob Gronkowski, came out of his one-year retirement to join his pal in the NFC South Division.
WEEK 7 | AT HOUSTON
Last meeting: The Packers last faced the Texans on Dec. 4, 2016, pulling out a 21-13 victory at a snow-covered Lambeau after posting 14 points in the final quarter. Rodgers had a strong showing, completing 20 of 30 attempts for 270 yards and two scores with no interceptions. But it was wide receiver Jordy Nelson (above) who turned in a stellar performance, racking up 118 yards on eight catches, including a 32-yard touchdown in the final quarter.
Player to watch: A three-time NFL defensive player of the year, Wisconsin native J.J. Watt needs no introduction to football fans in the Dairy State. While Watt missed a large chunk of last season, he did return in time for the playoffs, helping Houston defeat Buffalo in the Wild Card round before falling to the Kansas City Chiefs, who went on to defeat the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.
You should know: This will only be the fifth meeting between the two teams, with the Packers having won 3 of the 4 previous matchups, including the last two.
WEEK 8 | VS. MINNESOTA
Date: Nov. 1
You should know: It's been over a decade since these NFC North rivals have wrapped their regular-season battle this early in the season. In 2009, the Packers and Vikings faced off in Week 8 on Nov. 1 for the final time in the regular season, with Brett Favre (above) leading Minnesota to a 38-26 victory over his former team. Last season, the teams didn't meet for the final time until Week 16, when Green Bay won in Minnesota to clinch the division title.
WEEK 9 | AT SAN FRANCISCO
Date: Nov. 5 (Thursday)
Last meeting: Packers fans likely don't need — or want — a reminder about what happened the last time Green Bay and San Francisco went head to head. But for those who blocked out that painful encounter, here's a quick refresher. With a trip to Super Bowl LIV on the line, the Packers' defense was no match for the 49ers' ground game in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 19 as running back Raheem Mostert (above) had his way while rushing for 220 yards and four scores en route to a 37-20 victory. Green Bay also struggled mightily in their lone regular-season meeting last season as San Francisco handed the Packers one of their three regular-season losses, a 37-8 defeat in Week 12.
Player to watch: While the Packers didn't use any of their selections in this year's draft on one of the many talented wide receivers, the 49ers traded up to take WR Brandon Aiyuk out of Arizona State in the first round (No. 25 overall). The 6-foot Aiyuk, who caught 98 passes for 1,666 yards and 11 touchdowns in two seasons with the Sun Devils, could contribute right away for the NFC champs, who are also thin at the receiver position.
You should know: While the Packers have a narrow lead over the 49ers in regular-season matchups (32-28-1), the teams are now 4-4 in the playoffs, with the Packers having lost the past three postseason meetings.
WEEK 10 | VS. JACKSONVILLE
Date: Nov. 15
Last meeting: The Packers last faced the Jaguars four years ago in their season opener on Sept. 11, 2016, escaping with a 27-23 win at EverBank Field. With both teams posting only 6 points apiece after halftime, it was Green Bay's 14-point second quarter that proved the difference. Rodgers delivered his two touchdown passes of the day in the frame, connecting on a 6-yarder to Nelson and a 29-yard score to Davante Adams (above) in the closing seconds of the first half.
Player to watch: The Jaguars used the No. 9 overall pick in this year's draft on cornerback CJ Henderson, who earned first-team all-SEC honors last season at Florida. The 6-foot-1 Henderson finished his three years with the Gators with 93 tackles, six interceptions and four sacks.
You should know: Having only met six times, Green Bay leads the all-time series 4-2, with their last loss to Jacksonville coming in 2008, Rodgers' first season as a starter.
WEEK 11 | AT INDIANAPOLIS
Last meeting: Green Bay and Indianapolis last squared off on Nov. 6, 2016, with the Colts escaping Lambeau with 31-26 victory despite the Packers scoring 13 points in the fourth quarter. Colts QB Andrew Luck (above) was a bit shaky, throwing two interceptions to go along with 281 yards passing and a touchdown, but it was enough to get the job done. Rodgers had more yards (297) and touchdowns (3) but he couldn't pull off the comeback after Green Bay entered halftime down 24-10.
Player to watch: Quarterback Philip Rivers signed a one-year free-agent deal with the Colts on March 21 to become their new starting quarterback. The 38-year-old Rivers, an eight-time Pro Bowl selection, spent the first 16 years of his NFL career with the Chargers but struggled last season, finishing his final campaign with a 5-11 record.
You should know: The Colts have a slight edge over the Packers in the all-time series, with 22-20-1 record in regular-season matchups.
WEEK 12 | VS. CHICAGO
Last meeting: The Packers and Bears met for the final time last season in Week 15, with Green Bay defeating Chicago, 21-13, on Dec. 15, 2019, at Lambeau Field to improve to 11-3 on the season. Adams (above) had a monster day for the Packers, catching seven passes from Rodgers for 103 yards and a touchdown. The Packers also picked up a 10-3 victory over the Bears in Week 1.
Player to watch: Despite the Bears recently declining to pick up quarterback Mitch Trubisky's fifth-year contract option, worth $24.8 million, Chicago's front office is insisting that the team has faith in him. Starting 15 games in his third season last year, Trubisky finished with an 8-7 record after going 11-3 in 2018 and 4-8 in 2017.
You should know: In one of the most-storied rivalries in professional sports, Green Bay leads Chicago 98-94-6 dating back to the 1921 season.
WEEK 13 | VS. PHILADELPHIA
Date: Dec. 6
Last meeting: The fist of Green Bay's three losses last season came against Philadelphia as the Eagles pulled out a 34-27 victory over the Packers at Lambeau in Week 4 on Sept. 26, 2019. The Packers tied the game at 27-all late in the third quarter when Rodgers found tight end Jimmy Graham (above) for a 14-yard touchdown, but Green Bay failed to score again, with Adams leaving in the fourth with an injury. A 2-yard touchdown run by running back Jordan Howard early in the final frame put Philadelphia ahead for good. The Packers would rebound from the loss by winning four straight before falling to the Chargers in Los Angeles in Week 9.
Player to watch: Veteran quarterback Carson Wentz says he's "excited" by Philadelphia's decision to draft former Oklahoma QB Jalen Hurts in the second round of this year's draft. With three years and almost $130 million left on his contract, Wentz likely isn't going anywhere soon, but there will be a lot of eyes on Philadelphia waiting to see how the move unfolds. Packers fans can surely relate after Green Bay traded up in the first round to draft QB Jordan Love out of Utah State with the intention of grooming him to be Rodgers' eventual replacement.
You should know: The Packers lead the all-time series 27-15, but the Eagles have a 2-1 advantage in postseason matchups.
WEEK 14 | AT DETROIT
Date: Dec. 13
You should know: Before last season's Week 17 win over the Lions (above), the Packers had lost the previous two meetings at Ford Field by a combined 32 points. Green Bay's previous win in Detroit came on Jan. 1, 2017, in the final game of the 2016 season as the Packers were in the midst of an eight-game winning streak that spanned the regular season and playoffs and ended when they fell to the Falcons in the NFC Championship Game.
WEEK 15 | VS. CAROLINA
Date: Dec. 19 or 20 (Saturday or Sunday)
Last meeting: The Packers held off the Panthers, 24-16, in Week 10 last season at Lambeau Field on Nov. 10, 2019, to improve to 8-2 entering their bye week. Adams, after struggling in his first game back after missing a month due to a turf-toe injury, was back to his usual self, finishing with 118 yards on seven catches. Rodgers failed to throw a touchdown pass in the victory, but running back Aaron Jones (above) had three rushing touchdowns.
Player to watch: The Panthers got a monster at defensive tackle with their first pick in this year's draft, taking Derrick Brown out of Auburn. The 6-foot-5, 325-pound Brown earned unanimous All-American honors in his senior year and finished his four-year career with the Tigers totaling 170 tackles and 13 sacks.
You should know: The Packers are 9-6 all time against the Panthers, but they dropped the last two matchups, both on the road, before last season's victory at Lambeau.
WEEK 16 | VS. TENNESSEE
Last meeting: The Packers haven't faced the Titans in four seasons, which should hopefully have been enough time to forget the teams' last matchup. In Week 10 of the 2016 season, Green Bay was hammered in Tennessee as the Titans rolled to a 47-25 victory on Nov. 13, 2016. Rodgers (above) threw the ball 51 times, but struggled, completing 31 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns while throwing two interceptions and getting sacked five times for a loss of 46 yards.
Player to watch: Tennessee running back Derrick Henry, entering his fifth NFL season, is looking to build on his career year when he led the league in rushing yards with 1,540 and also posted career highs in carries (303) and rushing average (102.7 yards per game). Henry, who was franchised tagged this offseason, is one of the favorites to lead the league in rushing again this season.
You should know: The Packers, who trail the all-time series 5-7, have lost four of their last five games against the Titans, with their sole win in that span a 55-7 drubbing in Green Bay on Dec. 23, 2012.
WEEK 17 | AT CHICAGO
Date: Jan. 3
You should know: The last time the Packers and Bears faced off in Week 17 came in 2013, when Green Bay defeated Chicago, 33-28, to finish the regular season with an 8-7-1 record. Rodgers, in his first game back since fracturing his collarbone against the Bears in Week 9 that season, engineered a comeback at Soldier Field, scrambling on fourth-and-eight to find Randall Cobb (above) for a 48-yard touchdown in the final minute to put the Packers over the top and into the playoffs.

The world of SEO often seems mysterious, with those who specialize in it appearing to understand a secret code that unlocks the power of Google. Business owners spend countless dollars trying to master this portion of the digital marketing puzzle, investing in costly SEO tools and experienced professionals to increase their search engine results. But what if better SEO didn't have to be such a brain teaser?
That's because there are a myriad of SEO tricks and marketing tools to pull from, if you happen to know what they are. These tricks will make your life easier as a business owner and allow you to pad your pockets with the money you save.
Did that last part capture your attention? We thought it might. And we don't blame you! Running a business is all about expediency. You want to make the most money you possibly can while still delivering quality products or services to your customers and solidifying your position as a long-lasting solution in your industry.
So, ready for our most exclusive SEO tricks of the trade? Let's get started!
One of the most beneficial and relied upon SEO tricks is to make website URLs easily understood and distinguishable to human beings. Why? Because Google now considers advanced user data when determining how to rank sites more than it ever has before. The more numbers, symbols, and incoherent phrasing your URL uses, the less likely it is that internet users will trust your link and interact with it. Thus, the more inclined Google will be to rank your site lower in its results.
However! If your URLs follow a consistent structure, use well-researched keywords, and avoid using URL parameters, Google will respond more favorably. This is a great, easy-to-implement SEO strategy that will begin to produce results in a short time frame. A winning situation for any business!
Businesses that have frequent positive comments from credible online profiles receive much more reinforcement from Google. These comments serve as proof to Google that your client base approves of how you are conducting business, giving you more credibility and improving your rankings.
What does this mean for you, the business owner? It means that putting effort into encouraging your customers to leave online comments and reviews is a worthwhile strategy.
If you aren't sure what action you can take to increase the number of comments and online reviews you receive, Superb Digital wrote an extremely informative step-by-step guide to getting Google reviews that every entrepreneur should read.
With more businesses implementing SEO best practices than at any other point in time, entrepreneurs must ensure that they are as lean and accurate with their on page SEO as possible. Room for error is now minimal, since multiple businesses are now competing in almost every online advertising space.
It's a well-known fact that people (especially internet users) don't have the patience they once did. The mere thought of waiting longer than five seconds for a website to load is enough to send many web addicts into a panic! So it only makes sense that Google favors websites that load quickly and perform at optimum speeds.
This can be a bit of a pain in the neck, since the more information, content, and functions your site is loaded down with, the more difficult it will be to keep everything running at top speed.
That's where WP Fastest Cache comes in! This WordPress caching plugin creates static HTML files and saves them in your web cache. This enables internet users to view a page on your website without your site having to reload all your PHP scripts, making the end experience faster and more seamless for your visitors.
An added bonus? WP Fastest Cache is considered to be the easiest caching plugin to install, requiring no modifications or coding once added to your site. A simple and worthwhile SEO trick for any business owner!
SpyFu is highly regarded among SEO experts for its extensive free features. Unlike many other SEO tools, SpyFu offers extreme value to customers – without having to pay a high premium per month!
You can see all of your competitors organic rankings, every Google advertisement they've ran, and how much they've spent to promote those ads. But perhaps the most valuable thing that SpyFu can do is analyze all of your competitors' AdWords bidding history and recommend the most profitable keywords you're not already buying. That's right… never wonder which keywords you should pursue again! You'll be armed with detailed data that shows you where the greatest opportunities are.
With this list of best SEO tips by your side, you'll be ready to run the rankings show. You'll see an increase in non-branded keyword traffic, conversions rates, and quality leads.

Sheriff celebrating 70 years in Newhall
By Leon Worden
ipping past it at 50 mph on your way to the San Fernando Valley, you wouldn't know that the unobtrusive building at 6th Street and San Fernando Road was anything special. The bars on the back windows appear to be nothing more than a sign of the times.
What those bars really are is a relic of days gone by.
Many of Old Newhall's historic buildings still stand. It's just that few if any clues remain of their former uses. The old Newhall jail, for instance, is now a flower shop. William S. Hart's American Theater is the American Legion Hall. Ye Olde Courthouse is an office building and video outlet.
This Friday, November 8th, in a 10:00 a.m. ceremony at the SCV Sheriff's Station, Sheriff Sherman Block and his deputies will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the day the county gendarmes established their local presence at 6th and San Fernando, in a building that now houses an automotive supply service.
It was July of 1926 when our county supervisors decided that the practice of sending deputies out on horseback from downtown Los Angeles to chase down gun-toting bandits in remote regions like Newhall wasn't working anymore. Too often, suspects escaped during the long haul back. The supervisors voted to create several substations, one of which would oversee the vast northwestern region from Chatsworth to the Antelope Valley.
Substation No. 6 was set up on San Fernando Road, then known as Spruce Street, in a structure that had been a private residence of local hotelier Albert Swall. A home at Sixth Street and Railroad Avenue was used temporarily while the Swall home was being readied. (Heavily damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake, the original Railroad Avenue structure stands at a slant today.)
Deputy J.E.B. Stewart came up from L.A. to open the new substation on August 26, 1926. Signal editor Dad Thatcher writes, "The station will be open all the time with two men on duty. The force includes deputies Howard, Fox, Ernst, Stockwell, Knus, Nester and Aikens. The new officers are a jolly bunch of fellows, and very pleasant to meet — unless you happen to be transacting your business with them from the wrong end of a sawed-off shotgun." Cells were added two years later, but the old Newhall jail, built in 1906 at Eleventh and Spruce, housed prisoners through 1939.
Deputies handled criminal business. Lesser matters were relegated to constables, who had policed the Santa Clarita Valley since 1878. Constables were publicly elected until 1913, when Los Angeles became a chartered county and local law enforcement became the Sheriff's responsibility. Constables were made ex-officio deputies, and they still served subpoenas and acted as Justice Court bailiffs after 1936, when the Constabulary was absorbed into county civil service.
Newhall Station served the sleepy Soledad Township and Newhall area for over four decades. Former Santa Clarita mayor George Pederson, assigned to the station in 1965 as a sergeant, remembers: "The biggest problem they had in the old days was hobos sleeping by the train tracks." In 1965, Pederson recalls, the station employed a total of only 30 people.
Today the SCV Sheriff's Station employs 162 sworn officers and 26 civilians. The growth of the valley in the late 1960s and early 1970s necessitated a move to bigger quarters. The Sheriffs moved to the then-new Civic Center in 1972 and bade the old Newhall Station a fond farewell.
It was good timing for The Signal, which had suffered a fire in its production office in 1969. No sooner had the Sheriffs moved out than The Signal moved in. The paper used the building until 1986, when it too needed more breathing room and moved to Creekside Road in Valencia.
The highlight of this Friday's anniversary celebration will be the unveiling of a beautiful scrapbook compiled by Sheriff's Advisory Committee member Estelle Foley, who has spent most of the year assembling the complete history of the SCV Station and its personnel. Lt. Robert Elson calls it a "labor of love," and indeed it is. Bound copies of Estelle's book will be available for $20, and it is a work that no law enforcement supporter or history buff will want to forego.

With all the scrutiny on keeping the history in our downtown core intact, it's one for the good guys with The Mitchell, the bar opening this week in the old Chesterfield (and, briefly, Prohibition) space in downtown Dallas.
Mostly a bar, but partly a restaurant, The Mitchell opens on February 13. It comes from bar veterans Chris Beardon and Adam Salazar, who've been involved in projects such as PM Lounge and Truth & Alibi. But this is their first all-in project together, as part of their Buffalo and Hare Restaurant Development Group, which also includes the concept they're opening in the old Lemongrass space in Deep Ellum, with former Oak chef Brian Zenner.
The Mitchell came with what Salazar calls a "terrific kitchen," where chef Rudy Mendoza (formerly of Belly & Trumpet) will oversee a menu of about a dozen items geared toward drinking but still with some elegant foodie touches. They include fried duck roulettes with applesauce; oysters; and caviar at four price levels, starting with an American Tennessee spoonbill at $45 an ounce.
"We did caviar when I was at Nikita, and it was a hit," Salazar says. "And that's even with all of the options priced at $250. This gives people who've wanted to try it a chance."
But their main emphasis is on having a lively, bustling bar. "What they're doing at Nick & Sam's is pretty darn close, but it's still geared toward being a restaurant, not a volume bar. If you go to San Francisco or Chicago or even Denver for that matter, you walk down the street and hit a busy bar."
Bar staffers include Patrick Gorman, formerly of Dee Lincoln's Restaurant & Bubble Bar, and Marco Boraz, with whom Salazar worked while at the Joule. They'll do a limited menu of cocktails and "a lot of gin." They're spotlighting champagne, with at least 30 bottles and four by the glass, featuring Laurent Perrier as the house champagne for $16 a glass, plus two sparkling roses, including one by Scharffenberger.
Doing something cool in downtown was a top priority. Salazar says they lucked out with the space following a renovation executed by former owners Eddie "Lucky" Campbell and Ed Bailey.
"Lucky did such a great job with it," Salazar says. "We did do updates on the furniture, couches and wallpaper. We found a very cool blue alligator print for the couches and that established our direction. I love the burgundies that Lucky did, but I wanted to make sure when you walked in that you knew it was a different place."
At one point, it was a barbecue joint, and it also used to be a Greek restaurant called Zodiac Greek Grill. "Eddie put the kitchen in, he broke it down to the brick," Salazar says. "He was our first call, when the deal was done."


Chicago's Tomorrow Never Knows festival has announced its 2012 return, slated for January 11th – 15th.
This year (unlike last), the festival has expanded to include Hideout, and Smart Bar, along with the annually participating Lincoln Hall, Schubas, and Metro.
Five-day passes go on sale this Friday, for $75 a piece.
More details regarding lineup to come. Stay tuned.

Biografia
Nato nella cittadina di Brahin, in Bielorussia, fu educato presso la Yeshivah Tomchei Temimim a Rostov sul Don e fu inviato ad organizzare yeshivah clandestine in varie città dell'ex-Unione Sovietica.  Si stabilì poi a Cracovia (ora Charkiv in Ucraina), dove incontrò e sposò Brocha Futerfas, sorella del rabbino Menachem Mendel Futerfas e dell'artista Hendel Lieberman. Rimase il responsabile della gestione della yeshivah clandestina locale.

Arruolato di leva nell'Armata Rossa, a causa della salute cagionevole fu assegnato all'unità di difesa aerea che proteggeva Cracovia. Quando la città fu occupata dai tedeschi, si trasferì a Saratov e da lì a Samarcanda, dove la sua famiglia si era rifugiata. Nel 1946, quando i profughi polacchi ebbero il permesso di lasciare l'USSR, Serebryanski e la maggior parte della famiglia ottennero documenti polacchi e si stabilirono in Polonia per un anno, a richiesta di Rabbi Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn, in modo da organizzare l'invio segreto di messaggi tra lui e i chassidim Chabad che erano rimasti nell'USSR. Durante questo periodo, Serebryanski fu anche attivo nel recupero di bambini ebrei dai conventi dove erano stati lasciati dai genitori durante la guerra.  Con il consolidamdento del potere comunista in Polonia, era impossibile continuare tale operato e si trasferì a Parigi, dove fondò lo heder che diventò poi il nucleo centrale della rete educativa Chabad a Parigi.

Nel 1949, il nuovo governo australiano di Robert Menzies allentò la politica di immigrazione in Australia e diversi chassidim Lubavitcher ottennero visti migratori per tale Paese.  Reb Zalman chiese a Rabbi Joseph Isaac Schneersohn se dovesse seguirli, e il Rebbe gli disse di partire ed andare a fondare una yeshivah in Australia.  Serebryanski sbarcò a Melbourne il 12 settembre 1949 e la yeshivah fu aperta a Shepparton (Victoria) in ottobre.

Serebryanski fu quindi uno dei quattro fondatori pionieri della comunità yeshivah e, insieme ai rabbini Isser Kluwgant, Shmuel Betzalel Althaus e Nochum Zalman Gurewicz, pose le basi per quelle che diventarono in seguito il Centro Yeshiva e la rispettiva comunità ebraica di Melbourne.

Serebryanski ha fondato la Scuola Superiore dello Yeshivah College, prima a Shepparton, poi a Burwood e infine a East St Kilda, Victoria, in Melbourne. Ha inoltre fondato la Beth Rivkah Ladies College e il Collegio Rabbinico Yeshivah Gedolah Zal.

Ha lasciato tre figli e oltre 100 nipoti e pro-nipoti.

Q: RxSwift Binding to UITable from a Variable In RxSwift, do you know why I am not getting any values in this tableView?
Note: allTable is the UITableView
    var strList: Variable<[String]>?

    let disposeBag: DisposeBag = DisposeBag()

    strList?.value.append("111")
    strList?.value.append("222")
    strList?.value.append("333")

    strList?.asObservable()
        .bindTo(
            allTable.rx.items(cellIdentifier: "Cell", cellType: UITableViewCell.self)
        ){  (row, item, cell) in
            cell.textLabel?.text = item
        }
        .addDisposableTo(disposeBag)

A: You need to move the creating of disposeBag outside of the function
let disposeBag: DisposeBag = DisposeBag()

var strList: Variable<[String]>?

func subscribeToStrList() {
    strList?.value.append("111")
    strList?.value.append("222")
    strList?.value.append("333")

    strList?.asObservable()
        .bindTo(
            allTable.rx.items(cellIdentifier: "Cell", cellType: UITableViewCell.self)
        ){  (row, item, cell) in
            cell.textLabel?.text = item
        }
        .addDisposableTo(disposeBag)
}

Otherwise, when the function exits, the subscription is disposed of.


Now that INSIDIOUS, book three in the Nate Richards Mystery, previously slotted to be released as I.A.I., has been released, I can turn my thoughts to other things. Here are some thoughts I shared earlier. As I I have been musing on the realization that what is really important about any story is its message. I don't mean the simple storyline, but rather what is the deeper truth that the story itself is trying to convey. Consider the parable Jesus told of the vineyard. Remember how the owner of the vineyard hired a group of men to care for his property? And they being the crooks that they were began to plot how they could steal the land for their own. They even killed the property owner's son in the mad dash for power. Well, ultimately the owner of the land returned and killed them all...it would have made a great movie. Enter voice over guy, "A grieving father returns to take revenge on the men who killed his only son... And this time there won't be any peace in the valley." But I digress. The point is that when we are creating our manuscripts we have to fight to first discover, then keep that message alive. In the case of the parable of Jesus, the story may have been about greed, but the message was much larger: salvation and the price of redemption. Think about it.

Restoring a Passion For Reading
"Braille Institute's library helped me become more independent, and reminded me that I have a lot of potential."
—Celia Montes
Celia Montes has loved books her entire life, especially murder mysteries. But starting in late 2007, she found herself less and less able to pursue that passion.
A medication her doctor had prescribed caused unexpected retinal toxicity. "My vision progressively started to go," Celia recalls. By 2009, at the age of 31, she was legally blind. "I kept trying to cope and hide it, but I was depressed. And I couldn't even read, one of my favorite pastimes."
In 2014, Celia's fraternal twin sister, Linda, shared some hopeful news. "She told me, 'I've seen a Braille Institute bus on the freeway, and it looks like they could help you,'" Celia recounts.
With Linda's encouragement, Celia phoned Braille Institute's San Diego Center. Registrar Maggie Bradley invited her in for a tour and told her about the many courses she could take, including braille lessons.
Celia quickly started classes. Now, not quite two years later, she reads braille fluently. Meanwhile, the many other classes she's taken at Braille Institute, from independent living, to cooking, to sensory awareness, to orientation and mobility training with a white cane, have helped open up the world to her once more.
Suddenly, Thousands of Books Became Accessible
Another stop on that introductory tour of Braille Institute had an even more immediate positive impact. "The very first day," Celia says, "I started using their free library, checking out audiobooks I could listen to on a digital player which was provided by Braille Institute."
That moment felt instantly transformative. "Reading for me is a way of keeping my mind working, a way to enjoy life," says Celia. Books became even more accessible to her through technology classes she took at Braille Institute, where she learned to download even more free audiobooks from the extensive collection of the National Library Service.
Today, Celia Montes considers herself an integral, happy member of the Braille Institute community. "Everyone has your best interests at heart. They're here to help you continue leading a fun, positive life pursuing your goals."
She's an active volunteer here, too, as part of the San Diego Center's Welcome Club for new students. "I show them around the campus," says Celia. "And I make sure to introduce them to all the different resources Braille Institute makes available—including those that were really important to me, like the library."
"Braille Institute's library helped me become more independent, and reminded me that I have a lot of potential." Celia says enthusiastically.

Installing automatic misting systems for mosquito control is a relatively unknown method of insect control that works well to protect your property from a variety of insect pests. They are on duty 24/7, effective, and work without much attention from you.
Similar in operation to some irrigation systems, insect control misting systems consist of a small (less than a cubic foot) reservoir/pumping station, inconspicuous nylon tubing, and nickel-plated corrosion-resistant nozzles placed strategically around your yard, patio, or wherever you want coverage.
A timer-controlled pump releases a 30-second mist 2 – 4 times a day, killing and repelling mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, and other insect pests. A small key-fob style remote allows the homeowner to cancel programmed sprays if they wish (such as in heavy rains, where they would be ineffective), or add an unscheduled spray if desired in preparation for an outdoor event.
The two most commonly used pesticides in misting systems are Pyrethrin and Permethrin. Both degrade quickly, are water-soluble, and are non-toxic to people and animals, though you'll want to keep them away from fish ponds. Because they break down so easily, they cannot build up and are not harmful to the environment. Pyrethrin is natural, extracted from members of the chrysanthemum plant family, and Permethrin is the man-made version of the same natural chemical compounds.
Direct application to the skin or eyes may cause minor irritation, and it should be rinsed off with water if this happens.
The initial effect on mosquitoes is as a nerve toxin, paralyzing them before killing them. When mosquitoes encounter a non-lethal dose, such as delivered by mosquito coils, it prevents them from biting and repels them.
In an area that is protected by an automatic misting system, there is no need to apply mosquito repellent or fog the area with aerosols. Mosquito coils, smelly mosquito lamps and citronella can become artifacts of the past. And it's automatic, so it doesn't need the attention that these other methods once required.
If you are tired of fogging your yard manually, applying smelly repellents to yourself and your family, and fighting with fleas and ticks on your pets whenever they come in from your yard, then acquiring and using one of the automatic misting systems for mosquito control in your neighborhood may be the best option for you.

Speaking in a recent interview with Eddie Trunk's SiriusXM Trunk Nation show, former Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke has revealed the main reason he wasn't part of the GN'R reunion.
"When it first started, they did reach out to me to come and play, I've said that they did ask me before. I've never said why I didn't do it.
The real reason is, they asked me, but you know my daughter Frankie has a band [Frankie + the Studs]. They asked me the same day my daughter's band was playing Lollapalooza, which as like the biggest break for her band and stuff.
Clarke replaced founding guitarist Izzy Stradlin in the GUNS lineup in 1991, during the "Use Your Illusion" tour, and stayed with the band for three years.

The original mountain bike bell. Trail awareness when you need it, silence when you don't. A simple on/off lever controls the internal clapper. Slide it down for on, or up for off. The motion of the bike activates the sound. Designed for safe, friendly passing and signaling on shared use trails, and alerting wildlife, including bears and mountain lions.

A while back, I went through a phase in my practice where I was doing a lot of Urdhva Prasarita Padasana.
I worked on lifting my straight legs up. I worked on lowering my straight legs down. I worked on lifting and lowering in stages. I worked with my arms raised above and I worked with my arms by my side. I studied every variation carefully. I paid close attention to my inner leg, my outer leg, front leg, & back leg. I observed my heels, my toe mounds and how my feet came to the floor. Then one day, I had a revelation. It occurred to me that the tremendous lengthening that occurs from my middle groins through to my second toes when I lower my legs in Urdhva Prasarita Padasana, as well as the correlating 'up and back' action in the abdomen was how my front body 'should' feel in Salamba Sarvangasana.
Salamba Sarvangasana has always been a tough pose for me. Because of the issues with my spine and the shape of my body, I have never been able to keep the weight of my legs ascending. The weight seems to drop into my lumbar and causes me significant pain. When I look at a photograph of myself, it's clear to me that my thighs are dropping and I can't open up my middle groins. Having tight middle groins is not a new issue for me – it's one that comes up again and again (In a previous blog post I wrote about how my tight middle groins affect my backbends)!
Salamba Sarvangasana with my middle groins collapsing in.
Salamba Sarvangasana with a little more openness in the middle groins.
Making the connection between Urdhva Prasarita Padasana and Salamba Sarvangasana was, to me, (& I'm not exaggerating) enlightening. For some reason, Urdhva Prasarita Padasana is the only asana where I actually feel like my middle groins can open. If I hadn't made the connection to Sarvangasana, my body wouldn't 'know' what it was supposed to do in that pose. It's not that I didn't understand conceptually what was supposed to happen. I did, and I had heard many teaching instructions that attempted to take me there, but now because of my experience in Urdhva Prasarita Padasana, my body understands how it is supposed to feel and I can hear and interpret those teaching instructions in a new way. I still struggle with these actions in Sarvangasana, but because my cells have had a taste of what it is supposed to feel like, I'm able to work more effectively to recreate the feeling.
…this brings me to my point: I think linking is an extremely powerful tool in both practice and teaching! Linking excites me because it gives me a starting point in my practice. It's a focus – something tangible, digestible, a gateway in. It invites me to approach an asana from a new perspective and to experience an action in a new way. It also allows me to be creative but analytical at the same time. And it is through the process of linking, of understanding the nuances of the pose, of allowing my body to interpret the asanas that I am able to emancipate myself from the unnecessary chatter that goes on in my mind. That is Yoga. That is why I do Yoga. Merely understanding the details of an asana is not my goal – that can be done with exercise alone. Understanding the details of an asana is my gateway in to the ultimate goal – Yogah cittavrtti nirodhah (Yoga is the cessation of movements in the consciousness). In BKS Iyengar's commentary on this Sutra, he explains that "Yoga is the art and science of mental discipline through which the mind becomes cultured and matured".
Do you find the details of a pose can bring you inward? Or perhaps you find the details of a pose to be a distraction?
Have you come across a link that has been particularly enlightening for you? Please share!
Interesting. I am not so quick to find one pose in another, although I can feel the effects of one pose on another, the 'before' and 'after'. I'll see if this connection helps me next time I tackle my nemesis.

var query = $"Select * From {_tableName} Where [Id] = @Id;";

This query is reausable, i can use it with any table in my project.
I can use stored procedure to reproduce this select:
CREATE PROCEDURE GetSomething

@Id INT

AS
BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM Something WHERE Id= @Id;
END

and call it from Dapper:
var parameters = new DynamicParameters();
parameters.Add("@Id", id);

using var connection = _databaseConnection.GetOpenConnection();

return await connection.QueryFirstAsync<SmthDto>("GetSomething", parameters, commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure);

But as you can see, from this procedure im calling table Something.
How to make Stored Procedure reusable/generic to call any table like var query is working?

A: You can create dynamic query in stored procedure, in which you can pass table name as parameter and then call it from dapper by passing tablename and id parameter.
-- EXEC GetSomething 'Something',2
Create PROCEDURE GetSomething
@tableName as nvarchar(150),
@Id as INT
AS
BEGIN
    Declare @rawQuery nvarchar(250);
    SET @rawQuery = 'SELECT * FROM ' + @tableName + ' WHERE Id='+ Cast(@Id as nvarchar);
    EXECUTE sp_executesql  @rawQuery
END

JAPAN - Nearly 1,200 cows have died nationwide due to the summer's intense heat, the government said on Friday, 3 September, calling for measures to prevent more deaths as the hot spell continues.
A total of 1,194 cows — 959 for milk and 235 for meat — died of heatstroke and other heat-related causes between 1 July and 15 August, while 657 pigs, 289,000 broiler chickens and 136,000 chickens that lay eggs also died, according to a survey by the Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry.
According to The Japan Times, all figures rose compared with the last survey in 2008, with the total number of cow deaths increasing by 232, pigs by 130, broilers by 119,000 and egg-laying chickens by 80,000.
To prevent more deaths, the ministry said it has instructed regional agricultural administration officials to make sure livestock farmers are taking measures, such as putting heat shield materials on the walls and roofs of barns and using fans to lower the temperature inside.
The latest survey does not cover Miyazaki Prefecture, which was hit by foot-and-mouth disease.
