Legends and legacies
Rory and Gerry McIlroy (Montana Pritchard/ Getty Images)
Every father plays a unique role in a child's life. Fathers often hold a special place in our hearts because of the unique things tha t they did with and for us as kids. As adults we treasure that special time together even more. More often than not, a father will introduce his daughter or son to sport and sometimes, that sport happens to be golf. The chance t o spend four or five hours on the course with your dad is special enough, but ho w about growing up alongside one of the legends of the game, onl y to turn into a fine professional yourself? We honour all dads this Father's Day with a look at some of the most famous father and child player combinations in golf history.
OLD TOM MORRIS/ YOUNG TOM MORRIS
Tom Morris Sr. (or Old Tom Morris) was one of golf's founding fathers. A four-time British Open champion, Morris Sr. held the record for largest margin of victory at a major (14 strokes) until 2000 when Tiger Woods won the U.S. Open by 15. He was also a jack-of all- trades in the golf business, acting as a greenskeeper, club-maker, ball-maker, golf instructor and course designer. Young Tom Morris also won the British Open four times, and holds the record for being the youngest major champion in golf's history (he was 17 in 1868). He unfortunately died at only 24 years of age.
WILLIE PARK/WILLIE PARK JR.
Another of golf's founding fathers was Willie Park Sr. Also a four-time British Open winner, Park Sr. actually captured the very first British Open. His son, Willie Park Jr. captured the British Open twice. He's credited as being one of golf's first renaissance men; known as a golf writer, businessman and course architect, Park Jr.'s designs include a handful of notable layouts in Canada.
DAVID BLACK/KEN BLACK
The Blacks make up the lone father-son duo to be enshrined in the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame. The elder Black emigrated to North America from Scotland with his brothers to become golf professionals in the early 1900s. He worked as a club pro in Ottawa and Montreal before going west to Vancouver. He won four PGA of Canada Championships and was runner-up in the 1911 Canadian Open. The younger Black captured three B.C. Amateurs and the 1939 Canadian Amateur Championship. In a story that legends are made of, he came from nine strokes behind to win the Vancouver Jubilee Open as a 24-year-old amateur, nipping Byron Nelson by three to become the first Canadian to win a PGA Tour event.
JULIUS BOROS/GUY BOROS
Although a late bloomer, Julius Boros – who didn't turn professional until he was 29 – sure made up for lost time. A threetime major champion, the elder Boros still holds the record for being the oldest major champion of all time. He captured the PGA Championship in 1968 at the age of 48. Julius Boros was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1982 and passed away in 1994. His son Guy Boros has a handful of Canadian connections. He captured his lone PGA Tour victory in 1996 at the Greater Vancouver Open, and played on the Canadian Tour for four years including 1991, when he was the Tour's leading money winner
GAYLE HITCHENS BORTHWICK/ BOB HITCHENS/ DICK BORTHWICK
Saskatchewan native Gayle Hitchens Borthwick earned her way into the Canadian Golf Hall of Fame thanks a competitive career which included three U.S. Senior titles, wins at both the Canadian Amateur and Canadian Senior, and numerous provincial championships. She learned the game under the watchful eye of her father, Capilano's assistant professional Bob Hitchens. Her father-in-law likely played an influential role in her game as well; the legendary Dick Borthwick served the Hamilton Golf and Country Club as head pro for almost three decades and claimed the 1949 Canadian PGA Championship.
Jay Haas/Bill Haas
Jay Haas is a nine-time PGA Tour champion and holds the record for most cuts made on the PGA Tour with 562. He's a Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup champion as well and continues to play well on the Champions Tour, with 16 wins on the senior circuit. Son Bill was the 2011 FedEx Cup champion (pocketing a cool $10 million in the process) and is a five-time winner on the PGA Tour. The Haas duo also has the unique distinction of being one of just two father-son pairs who have won the same PGA Tour event. Jay captured the 1988 Bob Hope Classic, while Bill won the 2010 edition of the tournament.
Dave Mills/Jon Mills
Dave and Jon Mills make up part of a legendary Canadian golf family. Dave worked with the Golf Association of Ontario for nearly 20 years, and retired in January of 2014 as its Executive Director. Dave's son Jon won the Ontario Amateur Championship in 2001 after graduating from Kent State University in 2000. He captured the 2003 MTS Classic on the Canadian Tour and is a two-time winner on the former Nationwide Tour. He currently holds conditional status on the Web.com Tour. Now that Jon has a daughter, can golf games with her father and grandfather be far behind?
Craig Stadler/Kevin Stadler
Craig and Kevin Stadler made history as the first father-son duo to play together at the Masters. Craig is a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, including his 1982 green jacket victory. The younger Stadler captured his first PGA Tour victory earlier this year at the Waste Management Phoenix Open. His nickname is "Smalrus," a play on his father's nickname "The Walrus
ROBERT TRENT JONES SR./ ROBERT TRENT JONES JR.
Robert Trent Jones Junior and Senior, along with Jr.'s brother Rees, make up the first family of golf course architecture. It is said that Robert Trent Jones Sr. worked on nearly 500 golf courses in his lifetime, including London Hunt Club, Capilano (which he worked on with famed Canadian architect Stanley Thompson) and The Marshes in Ottawa (a course that he worked on with his son and was completed after his death in 2000). Robert Trent Jones Jr., meanwhile, has become a well-known designer in his own right. He's perhaps best known for his design at Poppy Hills in California, and Chambers Bay in Washington (the host course of the 2015 U.S. Open).
Rory McIlroy/Gerry McIlroy
Although golf's newest wunderkind has already captured two majors and four other PGA Tour events, Rory McIlroy is only 24 years old and hopefully has a long career still ahead of him. However his successful golf career may never have started without the counsel of his father Gerry, a fine player in his own right. The elder McIlroy taught Rory everything he knew about golf while Rory was still a small child. Gerry played to a scratch handicap, and has won the club championship at the prestigious Holywood Golf Club in Northern Ireland.
Ian Poulter/luke Poulter
One of the most outspoken members on the PGA Tour, Ian Poulter has established himself as a true contender on tour. Could his son Luke be following in his footsteps? Luke, 9, won a U.S. Kids Golf event in Orlando earlier this year by seven shots. Luke's famous father was his caddie that day, and sent out a handful of excited tweets to his 1.6 million followers as the event went on.
Bubba Watson/Caleb Watson
Bubba Watson is a crier. Everyone's seen him tear up on TV but nothing was as emotional as Watson's 2012 Masters victory. He had just adopted his son Caleb – with Canadian wife Angie – that year after losing his own father to throat cancer. Caleb has already shown some significant golfing prowess in the YouTube videos that Bubba has posted and celebrated with his dad in the winner's circle at Augusta again this year.


Tesla Motors has embarked on a hiring spree in order to obtain the staff necessary for its ambitious plans.
The electric automaker posted job openings on its , with almost 1,650 positions currently available to anyone looking to join the company, . Requirements for the job offerings vary, including skills and working experience.
Tesla's press release states that the company had a total of 10,161 employees last year, which was over 70 percent more than the 6,000 it had in 2013.
Those looking to join Tesla won't have to move to its headquarters in California, as the listed positions are open at dealers in Norway, France and Germany, . These positions include vehicle technicians and sales advisors.
Self-driving technology is a big focus for this hiring spree, as Tesla is looking for more engineers for its Autopilot semi-autonomous feature. Those who apply for these positions will get the chance to meet Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who will interview the prospective employees personally.
Tesla still has a long way to go before it catches up to other automaking giants like General Motors, which currently has 215,000 employees at 10 different auto brands worldwide, Business Finance News noted.
Tesla now has 14,000 employees and plans on using this new hiring spree for its future goals, which include delivering 50,000 vehicles by the end of the fiscal year, releasing the Model 3 in 2017 and the construction of its Gigafactory battery plant in Nevada, according to Autoblog.
Amnon Geshuri, vice president of human resources at Tesla, noted that despite the long list of open positions, getting a job at the company isn't easy, as Tesla has had "1.5 million applications from around the world" in the past 14 months.

The Works of Shakespeare, Volume 3
ACT V.
** Then both her hands they basely cutt off quite,
Whereby their wickednesse she could not write;
Nor with her needle on her sampler sowe
The bloudye workers of her direfull woe.
(1) SCENE III. —
Then, afterwards, to order well the state,
That like events may ne'er it ruinate.] The following is the ballad registered by Danton when he entered the "Historye of Tytus Andronicus" on the Stationers' Rolls. It is extracted from Percy's "Reliques of Antient Poetry," Vol. I. :
" Titus ANDRONICUS's Complaint.
" You noble minds and famous martiall wights,
That in defence of native country fights,
Give ear to me, that ten yeers fought for Rome,
Yet reapt disgrace at my returning home.
" My brother Marcus found her in the wood,
Staining the grassie ground with purple bloud,
That trickled from her stumpes, and bloudlesse armes;
Noe tongue at all she had to tell her harmes.
< But when I sawe her in that woefull case,
With teares of bloud I wet mine aged face;
For my Lavinia I lamented more,
Than for my two and twenty sonnes before.
CRITICAL OPINIONS ON TITUS ANDRONICUS.
"ALL the editors and critics agree with Mr. Theobald in supposing this play spurious. I see no reason for differing from them; for the colour of the style is wholly different from that of the other plays, and there is an attempt at regular versification, and artificial closes, not always inelegant, yet seldom pleasing. The barbarity of the spectacles, and the general massacre, which are here exhibited, can scarcely be conceived tolerable to any audience ; yet we are told by Jonson, that they were not only borne, but praised. That Shakespeare wrote any part, though Theobald declares it incontestable, I see no reason for believing.
"The testimony produced at the beginning of this play, by which it is ascribed to Shakespeare, is by no means equal to the argument against its authenticity, arising from the total difference of conduct, language, and sentiments, by which it stands apart from all the rest. Meres had probably no other evidence than that of a title-page, which, though in our time it be sufficient, was then of no great authority; for all the plays which were rejected by the first collectors of Shakespeare's works, and admitted in later editions, and again rejected by the critical editors, had Shakespeare's name on the title, as we must suppose, by the fraudulence of the printers, who, while there were yet no gazettes, nor advertisements, nor any means of circulating literary intelligence, could usurp at pleasure any celebrated name. Nor had Shakespeare any interest in detecting the imposture, as none of his fame or profit was produced by the press.
"The chronology of this play does not prove it not to be Shakespeare's. If it had been written twentyfive years in 1614, it might have been written when Shakespeare was twenty-five years old. When he left Warwickshire, I know not; but at the age of twenty-five it was rather too late to fly for deerstealing.
"Ravenscroft, who in the reign of Charles II. revised this play, and restored it to the stage, tells us in his preface, from a theatrical tradition, I suppose, which in his time might be of sufficient authority, that this play was touched in different parts by Shakespeare, but written by some other poet. I do not find Shakespeare's touches very discernible."—JOHNSON. VOL. III. 641
" In the course of the notes on this performance, I have pointed out a passage or two which, in my opinion, sufficiently prove it to have been the work of one who was acquainted both with Greek and Roman literature. It is likewise deficient in such internal marks as distinguish the tragedies of Shakspeare from those of other writers ; I mean, that it presents no struggles to introduce the vein of humour so constautly interwoven with the business of his serious dramas. It can neither boast of his striking excellencies, nor his acknowledged defects ; for it offers not a single interesting situation, a natural character, or a string of quibbles from first to last. That Shakspeare should have written without commanding our attention, moving our passions, or sporting with words, appears to me as improbable, as that he should have studiously avoided dissyllable and trisyllable terminations in this play, and in no other.
" Let it likewise be remembered that this piece was not published with the name of Shakspeare till after his death. The quarto in 1611 is anonymous.
"Could the use of particular terms employed in no other of his pieces be admitted as an argument that he was not its author, more than one of these might be found ; among which is palliament for robe, a Latinism which I have not met with elsewhere in any English writer, whether ancient or modern ; though it must have originated from the mint of a scholar. I may add, that 'Titus Andronicus' will be found on examination to contain a greater number of classical allusions, &c. than are scattered over all the rest of the performances on which the seal of Shakspeare is indubitably fixed.— Not to write any more about and about this suspected thing, let me observe that the glitter of a few passages in it has perhaps misled the judgment of those who ought to have known, that both sentiment and description are more easily produced than the interesting fabrick of a tragedy. Without these advantages many plays have succeeded ; and many have failed, in which they have been dealt about with the most lavish profusion. It does not follow, that he who can carve a frieze with minuteness, elegance, and ease, has a conception equal to the extent, propriety, and grandeur of a temple."-STEEVENS.

Pulsar punches hole in stellar disc
The Chandra X-ray Center Press Release
23 July 2015 Astronomy Now
Evidence from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory suggests that a clump of stellar material has been jettisoned away from a double star system at incredibly high speeds. Researchers think that the pulsar knocked out the chunk of debris, which spans over a hundred times the size of the Solar System, when it collided with the disc around the massive star while traveling in its elliptical orbit lasting 41 months. This artist's illustration shows the pulsar just after having collided with the disc. Illustration credit: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss.
The double star system PSR B1259-63/LS 2883 – or B1259 for short – contains a star about 30 times as massive as the Sun and a pulsar, an ultra-dense neutron star left behind when an even more massive star underwent a supernova explosion.
The pulsar emits regular pulses as it spins 20 times a second, and moves in a highly elliptical orbit around its companion star. The combination of rapid rotation and intense magnetic field of the pulsar has generated a strong wind of high-energy particles moving away from the pulsar at near the speed of light.
The massive companion star, meanwhile, is rotating close to break-up speed and is spinning off a disc of material. As the pulsar makes its closest approach to the star every 41 months, it passes through this disc.
"These two objects are in an unusual cosmic arrangement and have given us a chance to witness something special," said George Pavlov of Penn State University in State College, Pennsylvania, lead author of a paper describing these results. "As the pulsar moved through the disc, it appears that it punched a clump of material out and flung it away into space."
Even though the clump is rather large, spanning a hundred times the size of our Solar System, it is also quite thin. The material in it has the mass equivalent to all the water in the Earth's oceans.
"After this clump of stellar material was knocked out, the pulsar's wind appears to have accelerated it, almost as if it had a rocket attached," said co-author Oleg Kargaltsev of George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC.

Astronomers observed B1259, which is located about 7,500 light years from Earth, three times with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory between December 2011 and February 2014. These observations show the clump moving away from B1259 at an average speed of about 7% of the speed of light. The data also indicate that the clump has been accelerated to 15% of the speed of light between the second and third observations.
"This just shows how powerful the wind blasting off a pulsar can be," said co-author Jeremy Hare, also of GWU. "The pulsar's wind is so strong that it could ultimately eviscerate the entire disc around its companion star over time."
The X-ray emission observed by Chandra is likely produced by a shock wave created as the pulsar's wind rams into the clump of material. The ram pressure generated by this interaction could also accelerate the clump.
Chandra will continue monitoring B1259 and its moving clump with observations scheduled for later this year and in 2016. These results appeared in the June 20, 2015 issue of The Astrophysical Journal.

Fast radio bursts born in cosmic cataclysms
15 November 2016 Astronomy Now
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) were first discovered in 2007, and in the years since radio astronomers have detected a few dozen of these events. Researchers have found that these mysterious "cosmic whistles" can release a billion times more energy in gamma-rays than they do in radio waves, rivalling supernovae in their explosive power.
What spawned the Jellyfish Nebula?
11 December 2015 Astronomy Now
The Jellyfish Nebula, also known by its official name IC 443, is the remnant of a supernova lying 5,000 light-years from Earth. New observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory show that the explosion that created the Jellyfish Nebula may have also formed a peculiar object located on the southern edge of the remnant.
Starving black hole returns brilliant galaxy to the shadows
The mystery of a rare change in the behaviour of a supermassive black hole at the centre of a distant galaxy has been solved by an international team of astronomers using ESO's Very Large Telescope along with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope and NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. It seems that the black hole has fallen on hard times and is no longer being fed enough fuel to make its surroundings shine.

The lack of significant sales growth in Palm Beach County in August 2018 compared to August 2017 is likely due in part to the continued decline in the number of active real estate listings, aka inventory. The inventory of homes for sale (active listings) in Palm Beach County has declined 2.5% for single-family homes compared to the inventory of homes for sale in August 2017. The decline in active condo/townhome listings in Palm Beach County has shown a slightly more significant decline of 3.7%. Not only does this continued decline in inventory limit the potential to see any substantial sales growth, but also serves to reinforce the conditions of a "seller's market" which we are continuing to experience in Palm Beach County, FL.

All That Fits
Smooth First Day of Class as Hickman, Ruskin Students Combine
By Mary Kay Morrow
"Completely uneventful," proclaimed Ruskin High School Principal Chad Ryerson of the first official half-day of the 2010-11 school year last Thursday.
It was the first day that former rival student bodies of Ruskin and Hickman Mills High Schools attended classes together. Ruskin's 1,300 tenth, eleventh, and twelfth-grade students marked the occasion by entering the school through doors hand-painted with inspirational words such as "unity" and "inspiration," peace signs, and a globe.
Asked how the first day had gone, some seniors said," It's cool."
Last February, the board decided to consolidate the district's two high schools into one beginning with the 2010-11 academic year. The decision was an emotional one for many students, parents, and teachers. Hickman Mills closed its doors as a high school at the end of last year and reopened last week as the district's junior high school for grades eight and nine.
Through focus groups conducted this spring, security was identified as a major concern. As a response, metal detectors have been installed at secondary schools where students must wear student ID badges at all times.Elementary schools have front-door cameras, intercoms, and magnetic door releases.
Schools will be locked down during school hours. Visitors will be required to enter only through front doors, sign in, consent to searches, surrender photo identification, and wear "visitor" badges during their visit.
New procedures promise to be strictly enforced.
Aside from a few minor snafus, Thursday was the best opening day Ryerson said he's seen in years.
"Everything went off fantastic," Ryerson said - despite a broken intercom that caused the Principal to use a two-way radio to direct hallway and parking lot traffic throughout the first day.
An ambulance and fire truck caused a momentary scare when they roared into the driveway during dismissal. A girl had passed out.
"She's alright," said emergency personnel, exiting the building a short while later.
In other areas of the district, the first day of school got a thumbs-up as well.
Admitting a few glitches, Smith-Hale Middle School Principal Angela McConico complimented her staff, parents and students for wonderful support during the transition.
A handful of bus problems had to be worked out. One bus reportedly broke down. Some children weren't picked up. And there was some confusion regarding RHS and Hickman Mills Junior High students riding the bus together.
"In the morning, HMJHS students will be taken to school first and the bus will then continue to RHS," clarified district official John Baccala. "In the afternoon, busses will take HMJHS students to Ruskin first and then home. Consolidating routes was the best solution, both economically and logistically."
Charmaine Lewis, parent of a third- and twelfth-grader, pleaded to let her daughter stay at Truman Elementary where the district mistakenly assigned her.
"This won't cost a dime. I'll drive her," Lewis said. "I'm just asking the board to allow the district's mistake to continue" rather than having to move her daughter to Johnson after having started out at Truman where she's already excited about her teacher and classmates.
Dr. Williams said a final seat-count is not yet available due to some families keeping students at home until after Labor Day.
"Many parents have asked for transfers and have the right to request changes up until August 20," Dr. Williams said.
"We have to make sure we have space to accommodate kids at the schools they've requested before making those changes."

Freshmen in AVID doing the "Adjective Name" circle, where each student said their name but started with an adjective that begins with the same letter as their name. After you said your name, you had to then say all the names of the students who went before you, starting with their adjectives. Smiles and laughter were heard throughout the exercise, especially as the students who went later on had to try hard to remember (nearly) all of the names.

Duckworth Says She'll Block Military Promotions Until Vindman Gets Consideration

Military.com | By Richard Sisk
Sen. Tammy Duckworth said Thursday she was prepared to put a hold on more than 1,100 normally routine military promotions unless Trump impeachment witness Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman gets fair consideration.
In a statement, Duckworth, a retired Army lieutenant colonel who lost both legs in Iraq, said she would block a promotions list with 1,123 names on it until she had confirmation from Defense Secretary Mark Esper that he would not scuttle "the expected and deserved promotion" of Vindman to colonel.

As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Duckworth, an Illinois Democrat, has the authority to put a hold on nominations without stating a reason, but her statement made clear that she feared President Donald Trump would attempt to use his influence to block Vindman's promotion.
Vindman, a former Ukraine expert on the National Security Council who received a Purple Heart for service in Iraq, testified last November at the House impeachment hearings that he had knowledge of a July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
During the call, Trump allegedly warned that military aid to Ukraine would be held up unless Zelensky agreed to launch an investigation of the dealings in Ukraine of Hunter Biden, the son of former vice president Joe Biden.
Vindman testified that he came forward "out of a sense of duty" and the belief that it was "improper for the President of the United States to demand a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen and political opponent."
Shortly after Trump was acquitted by the Senate of impeachment charges in February, Vindman was fired at the National Security Council and escorted from the White House.
His twin brother, Army Lt. Col. Yevgeny Vindman, a lawyer on the National Security Council staff, was also escorted from the White House.
In a series of tweets on Feb. 8, Trump said he didn't know Vindman but "he was very insubordinate, reported contents of my 'perfect' calls incorrectly, & was given a horrendous report by his superior, the man he reported to, who publicly stated that Vindman had problems with judgement, adhering to the chain of command and leaking information. In other words, 'OUT.'"
In her statement, Duckworth said it would be "simply unprecedented and wrong for any commander-in-chief to meddle in routine military matters at all, whether or not he has a personal vendetta against a soldier who did his patriotic duty and told the truth -- a soldier who has been recommended for promotion by his superiors because of his performance."
She said her hold on the promotions would not include Army Gen. Gus Perna, commander of U.S. Army Materiel Command, who has been nominated by Trump to help lead the development of a vaccine for COVID-19.

Sources of Electricity
There are many different ways in which electricity can be generated, stored or used. Today in groups I would like you to research ONE of the following methods and make a summary sheet. Once you have completed it, add it to the comment section with your name.
The sources of power are: Coal, hydro, wind, solar, nuclear, bio fuel, diesel.
You must answer the following questions:
Q1. Where does your source of energy come from?
Q2.Is it renewable? How does it renew?
Q3. Is it "reliable"? e.g. does it stay on all the time?, is it easy to fail?
Q4. How big are the machines that make the electricity?
Q5. Do you think it's good for the planet? why/why not?

Nuclear power plants use "nuclear fission" (the process of splitting an atom in two). … Nuclear energy comes from uranium, a nonrenewable resource that must be mined. Every 18 to 24 months, a power plant must shut down to remove its spent uranium fuel, which becomes radioactive waste.Fossil fuels are the leading non-renewable energy sources around the world. There are others, however. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non-renewable energy source. Although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, the material used in nuclear power plants is not.Nuclear energy is clean, reliable and affordable.The economics of nuclear energy generation depend on its capacity to produce enormous and uninterrupted amounts of electricity over long periods, with affordable and stable electricity costs. Nuclear generating plants can operate for 60 years or more.As of November 28, 2016 in 31 countries 450 nuclear power plant units with an installed electric net capacity of about 392 GW are in operation and 60 plants with an installed capacity of 60 GW are in 16 countries under construction.Image result for nuclear is it good for plants.Nuclear power plants are also more reliable than conventional fossil-fuel plants, and, when compared to other low-emission energy sources like wind and solar, offer much higher efficiency. These power plants take up less space than traditional ones while allowing for the same power capacity.

Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity. Wind turbines are 240 metres tall.
DREW,KEITH says:
wind turbines operate by the wind, moving 3 blades on a turbine.
wind is a free and renewable source.
wind is a mostly reliable, cost effective source, but when there is no wind no energy.
the largest wind turbine stands 220 metres tall.
YES, because it is not using fossil fuels and polluting the air.
Jade and Liz ;) says:
Our energy source at home is coal also known as Anthracite it is mined out of the ground and collected by large trucks and trains take it to the power station. Coal is not renewable as the rock will eventually run out and the gases created when turning it to electricity are harmful to the environment which will and is leading to climate change. Electricity from coal is made all the time to provide you with electricity 24/7. Burning coal heats up the water in the boiler to high temperatures, which turn shafts to create the electricity so all you have to do is burn the coal which makes it reliable in that term. The machines are a big boiler, chimney and the shafts. No because it produces greenhouse gases which effect the environment and the planet.
QUESTION 1: Nuclear energy comes from the uranium.
QUESTION 2: Nuclear energy is a non-renewable source that must be mined.
QUESTION 3: Nuclear power is the most reliable source of electricity, sustaining the highest national average reliability.
QUESTION 4: Nuclear reactors can be about 4 metres long but can power a city the size of Boston or Seattle.
QUESTION 5: Every 18-24 months uranium fuel stations must shut down to remove its spent uranium fuel which becomes radioactive waste. Energyexplained.com states that radioactive waste is a major problem for the environment and also causes major concern for cancer, birth defects and other abnormalities depending of the time of exposure and how much deposed of.

The source comes from wind turbines they work by the wind pushing the propeller which has 3 blades around to create energy. The source is renewable because it is using the wind turbine to create energy. Wind energy is not reliable because what happens if it is not a windy day the propeller will not spin. They are 220 meters tall. We believe that it is good for the planet because it is using the wind instead of burning fossil fuels.
Luke J and Hayden C says:
solar energy comes from the sun in a radiation wave. It is renewable because it is natural and has no harm to the environment. Solar energy is reliable except for cloudy day or when the panels start to get dusty. The sun is on 12 hours a day so in that amount of time you should get 1,000 watts per 250-watt panel you own. The solar panel isn't that easy to fail as they can produce alot if you own 25-30. A 17.6 square feet solar panel needs 25-30 if you own a family of five and i would recommend this for a house hold. solar panels can be almost any size. I think its good for the planet because it is renewable and environmental safe.
A.C and J.B says:
Wind comes from many places. One of the main sources that creates wind is the sun. There's different types of winds like, sea breezes and land breezes.
Yes it renewable. The sun heats up the air then it generates and makes wind.
No wind is not reliable all places. In Albury for example it does not have a constant breeze, so this is an example of it not being reliable as it's not always happening. But in other places where it's windy all the time it would be more reliable.
A GE 1.5 megawatt wind turbine have 3 large blades that are 116ft that sit on top of a 262ft tower. All together the turbine is 410ft.
Wind is good in some places but not all. As some places already have enough or what they need.
ISSSSSYYYY ANNNNDDDD LAUREN says:
The source of energy comes from wind turbines. The energy in the wind turns the propeller like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to a shaft which spins a generator which creates electricity. Wind energy is a free, renewable resource, so no matter how much is used today, there will still be the same supply in the future. Wind power is a clean energy source that we can rely on for the long-term future. A wind turbine creates reliable, cost-effective, pollution free energy. … Because wind is a source of energy which is non-polluting and renewable, the turbines create power without using fossil fuels.Wind Turbine Size and Power Ratings. A small home-sized wind machine has rotors between 8 and 25 feet in diameter and stands upwards of 30 feet and can supply the power needs of an all-electric home or small business. Utility-scale turbines range in size from 50 to 750 kilowatts.The wind is great for the earth, without wind we'll possibly be dead by now, it helps oxygen flow and trees supply oxygen.

Teaching in Indiana: Discovery of Unity
Before encountering the Movement, this law professor at the University of Notre Dame, in the United States, felt as if his life were divided, his faith on one side and his daily life on the other. "What most struck me was seeing all of life as vocation."
1.10.2004 Paolo Carozza
For many years before my involvement in the Movement, I had studied and practiced law and taught in the university; I had a beautiful marriage and a joyful family life; I had always had friends around me; and I was immersed in the Church through study, prayer, and service. Yet, a separation between these various aspects of reality left me yearning for something more, for a life of intensity in all things together, not as distinct spheres of my life. In particular, the life of faith seemed "other," separated from the materiality of my work, my family, my humanity. When I encountered the charism of CL (or, more accurately, re-encountered, because the seed had been planted many years earlier as a student but took almost 15 years to germinate), what most struck me from the start was the way that Father Giussani taught me to see all of life as vocation–not to seek a calling outside of the substance of my ordinary days, but to see life itself, all of life, as vocation.
As I have grown in this way of perceiving my life, instead of understanding the religious element to be somehow superimposed over or added to everything else, the presence of Christ has come to coincide entirely with everything, with work, with my family, my friends, down to the smallest details. In this way, my attraction to the charism of CL has become for me the gift of a unified life, a heightened consciousness of and passion for the taste and substance of the reality that is given to me in every moment, a reason to give myself completely in everything.
Among the many fruits of this vitality has been a new and deeper grasp of the meaning of my work. I have begun to understand what the ancient Institutes of Justinian meant in teaching this: "There is little point in knowing the law if one knows nothing about the persons for whom law exists." To be committed to the human person–not as an abstraction but for a present reality, a flesh whose dignity exists in the depths of our desires for happiness and freedom and eternity with which we have been created–is the subject of the law and of my study and writing and teaching. The discovery of my own humanity gives me the impetus to dig deeper into the questions I face regarding fundamental human rights or those involving the integrity and freedom of different cultures in the international community. In the classroom, I understand better that my teaching is not just a matter of imparting a technical skill, but sharing in the life of my students and encouraging in them a desire for eternity. Sometimes in my lessons I can't help stopping and saying to my students, "Open your eyes and ears, because what we are doing here is about nothing less than the mystery and meaning and destiny of your life, and your life is great and beautiful!"
I look on them with a father's affection and longing for their happiness that I could never have arrived at, let alone sustained, by myself. It comes from Another, from an encounter with Christ sustained by my belonging to a companionship of people whose faces recreate me every day. Most of all, it comes from returning home to embrace my wife and my children. There, I know most acutely my need for mercy and for tenderness. There, I experience most intensely my desire to be present to them completely. There, I find the fountain of hope that gives me reason to live each day again despite every error and all the moments of forgetfulness. There, I see most clearly that I am changed. It is not that the life of the Movement has had an effect on my work merely as work. It has had an impact on my work precisely by making my work an inseparable part of the experience of a unity of life lived in the presence of Christ. And so I have come to follow, as a son, that gaze that Father Giussani has, the Face that he never tires of speaking to us about, so that my life can be a whole, so I can be a father and a husband and a teacher and scholar and a friend–in short, I can be fully a man.

Los Angeles is home to around 4 million people. People in the city drive, walk, bike, and take public transportation on a regular basis. When distracted motorists fail to see pedestrians, however, severe accidents can occur. If you or someone you love experiences a serious injury in a pedestrian accident, you'll need a Los Angeles pedestrian accident lawyer on your side. Grey Law has the experience and the reputation for excellence you can count on in your time of need.
State vehicle code § 21950 compels all motorists to yield to pedestrians, regardless of proximity to a crosswalk. Drivers must slow down, stop, or take other actions to protect pedestrians from harm. The code is clear, but distracted motorists often fail to see or react to a pedestrian in harm's way. As a driver, taking your eyes off the road for even a few seconds is the same as closing your eyes and traveling the same distance.
These accidents happen where pedestrian traffic is heavy, but also in areas that don't typically accommodate pedestrians. Common areas where serious and deadly pedestrian accidents take place include road shoulders, crosswalks, parking lots, and street corners.
According to a study by DataScience, the intersection at Imperial Highway and Vista Del Mar poses the greatest threat to L.A. citizens in general. With 20 collisions from November 2014 to October 2015, this intersection beat the second-highest intersection by four collisions. However, this intersection does not represent the most pedestrian collisions—just the most collisions overall.
When it comes to deadly pedestrian intersections, Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard is at the top of the list. This crossing is typically crowded as one of the most popular locations in urban L.A. With six pedestrian accidents between November 2014 and October 2015, this intersection is the greatest threat to pedestrians. Between 2002 and 2013, vehicles struck 28 pedestrians at this intersection. As part of a citywide transportation plan called Mobility 2035, this intersection is now home to a new $50,000 scramble crosswalk. The new crosswalk enables large groups of pedestrians to cross, even diagonally, more safely in traffic.
In terms of hit and run accidents, the intersection of South Figueroa Street and West Manchester Avenue had the highest number of collisions according to DataScience. With nine collisions in the study's timeframe, this intersection poses the greatest threat to motorists and pedestrians for hit and run accidents. Hit and runs are especially devastating to victims and their families, as they cannot pursue lawsuits against the unknown drivers.
These insights will hopefully encourage pedestrians who frequent these intersections to be more cautious when crossing. Even when pedestrians have the right-of-way, they should check both ways before crossing. Wait for vehicles to come to complete stops before stepping out onto the street. Keep your eyes on the sidewalk while walking, not your cell phone. Although most pedestrian accidents are the motorist's fault, it is important to practice safe habits as a pedestrian.
What is Los Angeles Doing to Protect Pedestrians?
The Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) acknowledges the need for improved traffic patterns and pedestrian safety. As a city with a large number of pedestrians walking the streets, pedestrian safety is a top priority. Recently, LADOT added two new Pedestrian Coordinator positions to manage the pedestrian safety program and create a Master Plan for the city. LADOT is working with other committees in the city to develop policies that will improve pedestrian safety in school zones and dangerous intersections.
The Pedestrian Advisory Committee is one that LADOT is working with to improve pedestrian safety. The Committee strives to encourage walking as a viable alternative to driving in the city by improving the city's crosswalks and safety policies. It promotes enhanced safety practices for pedestrians and drivers, identifies the most dangerous locations, and recommends changes to reduce the risk of collisions. As technology improves and the city spreads more awareness of pedestrian safety, L.A. can expect the launch of effective initiatives.
One of the first questions clients ask a Grey Law Los Angeles accident lawyer is, "Who is responsible?" When our firm accepts your accident injury case, we'll conduct an independent investigation to uncover all potential avenues of legal recourse. In the majority of pedestrian accident cases, the responsibility for damages falls on the driver's shoulders.
Every individual owes the people around him or her a duty to act with reasonable care. When driving in a powerful vehicle, the driver's duty of care increases above and beyond the duty of care a pedestrian owes. Pedestrians can face liability in an accident case, but these cases are rare.
Some of the most common causes of pedestrian accidents involve driver negligence. Negligent behaviors that cause these accidents may include failing to follow the basic rules of the road, driving distracted, or driving under the influence. In California, driving while distracted is often also considered a moving violation, punishable by steep fines.
Most personal injury cases involve insurance negotiations. In pedestrian accidents involving an at-fault motorist, the driver's insurance policy should cover the full cost of your injuries and losses. Insurance companies may try to reduce the payout as much as possible. Contacting a qualified Los Angeles pedestrian accident lawyer will improve your ability to secure fair compensation from an insurance provider after any serious accident.
Pedestrian accidents tend to cause serious and life-altering injuries. Many pedestrians don't have an opportunity to give their side of the story until after well after the accident, and they may require weeks or months of hospitalization and long-term rehabilitative care. Contact an attorney about your case as soon as possible after any pedestrian accident. The team at Grey Law will start interviewing witnesses, looking for possible recordings of the accident, and negotiating with bill collectors and insurance companies on your behalf.
At Grey Law, we're committed to delivering the maximum compensation available for victims of serious pedestrian accidents. With our help, you can start to recover emotionally, physically, and financially. A civil lawsuit against the driver responsible may yield compensation to cover the cost of medical bills, lost wages and future income, and your pain and suffering.
We handle all types of vehicle accident cases. We have access to the resources needed to build a strong case against the individual or company responsible for your injuries, and we fight hard for our clients' right to a fair settlement. For a free case evaluation or to learn more about your options, contact a Grey Law Los Angeles pedestrian accident lawyer.

Oscar Paul (8 April 183618 April 1898) was a German musicologist and a music writer, critic, and teacher.

Biography
Oscar Paul was born in Freiwaldau in Silesia (now Gozdnica in the Województwo lubuskie of the Poland).  He studied at Görlitz, and under Louis Plaidy, Ernst Richter and Moritz Hauptmann at the University of Leipzig.  He commenced a career as a pianist, but soon found himself unsuited to it.

After spending time in different German towns, he returned to Leipzig in 1866 to give private lessons in harmony. In 1869 he became a teacher at the Leipzig Conservatory, and in 1872 a professor at the university.  His students included: Felix Weingartner, Leoš Janáček, Fanny Davies, Cornelis Dopper, Alfred Hill, Hans Huber, Ferdinand Pfohl, Anna Diller Starbuck, Theodore Baker, W. Waugh Lauder (the only Canadian student of Franz Liszt),  Rudolf Breithaupt, Johannes Gelbker, Emil Kronke, Heinrich Ordenstein, Albert Ross Parsons, and Otto Schweizer.

He died in 1898 at the age of 62.

Writing
In 1866 Paul published Die absolute Harmonik der Griechen. He edited Hauptmann's Lehre von der Harmonik (1868), and wrote Geschichte des Klaviers (1869) and Handlexikon der Tonkunst (1871–72).
In 1872, he produced his magnum opus, his translation and elucidation of the five-volume work De institutione musica by Boethius. His Lehrbuch der Harmonik came out in 1880.

Paul was a contributor to the Niederrheinische Musik-Zeitung (1853–1867).
He founded and edited the periodical Tonhalle which was merged into Musikalisches Wochenblatt, which he also edited. He was the music critic of the Leipziger Tagblatt for many years.

Q: How can I check if data exist in table and update a value, if not insert data in table using MariaDB? I have 2 tables. First table contains some products and the second table is used for temporary data storage. Both tables have the same column names.
Table `products`: contains this columns
                 - id (unique, autoincrement)
                 - name
                 - quantity
                 - price
                 - group
Table `temp_stor`: contains this columns
                 - id (unique, autoincrement)
                 - name
                 - quantity
                 - price
                 - group

I want to get from the first table one row (name,quantity,price,group) and insert it into the second table if the data does not exist. If the same data exists in temp_stor I want to update only one column (quantity).
For example:
I take from products the following line ('cola','1','2.5','soda'), I want to check the temp_stor to see if the line exist. temp_store table looks like this:
('milk 1L','1','1.5','milks')
('cola','1','2.5','soda')
('bread','1','0.9','pastry')
('7up','1','2.8','soda')

We see the second line exists, and I want to update it's quantity. The table will look like this:
    ('milk 1L','1','1.5','milks')
    ('cola','2','2.5','soda')
    ('bread','1','0.9','pastry')
    ('7up','1','2.8','soda')

If the table looks like this:
    ('milk 1L','1','1.5','milks')
    ('bread','1','0.9','pastry')
    ('7up','1','2.8','soda')

I want to insert the line into the table. So it would look like this:
('milk 1L','1','1.5','milks')
('bread','1','0.9','pastry')
('7up','1','2.8','soda')
('cola','1','2.5','soda')

Is this posible to do it through a sql query? I need to implement this into a python code. The python part I can handle , but I'm not that good to sql.
Thank you
UPDATE 1:
i forgot to specify maybe the most important thing and this is my fault. I want to check the existence of a product name inside the temp_stor table. Only the name should be unique. If the product exists i wan't to update it's quantity value only, if the product doesn't exist i want to insert it into the temp_stor table.

A: Take a look at How to connect Python programs to MariaDB to see how to connect to your DB.
After that you can select from temp_stor the row with the same id as the row you have obtained from products. Let row be the tuple of values you obtained.
cursor = mariadb_connection.cursor()
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM temp_stor WHERE id=%s", (some_id,))

If the result of this query contains nothing, indicating that there is no such row, you can proceed to insert it, otherwise, update the row.
if len(cursor) == 0:
    try:
        cursor.execute("""INSERT INTO temp_stor VALUES (%s,%s,%s,%s,%s)""", row)
    except mariadb.Error as error:
        print("Error: {}".format(error))
else:
    cursor.execute ("""
       UPDATE temp_stor
       SET id=%s, name=%s, quantity=%s, price=%s, group=%s
       WHERE id=%s
       """, (row[0], row[1], row[2], row[3], row[4], row[0]))

Update:
To perform something similar with just one query:
INSERT INTO temp_stor (id, name, quantity, price, group) VALUES(1, "cola", '2.5', 'soda') ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE quantity='2.5'

Here I am assuming that 1 is the id and "cola" is the name. If you want name to be unique, you should make that the key, because this query currently only compares keys, which in this case seems to be id.

A: Assuming that "if the data does not exist" means "if the combo of name+quantity+price+group" is is not already there?
Add
UNIQUE(name, quantity, price, group)

Then
INSERT INTO products
          (name, quantity, price, group)
    SELECT name, quantity, price, group FROM temp_stor;

Minor(?) drawback:  This will (I think) 'burn' ids.  In your example, it will allocate 4 new values of id, but use only one of them.
after update to Question
Do not have the index above, instead, have this.  (I assume product is spelled "name"??)
UNIQUE(name)

Then...
INSERT INTO products
          (name, quantity, price, group)
    SELECT name, quantity, price, group FROM temp_stor
    ON DUPLICATE KEY   -- this will notice UNIQUE(name)
        UPDATE
            quantity = VALUES(quantity);

It is unusual to use this construct without UPDATEing all the extra columns (quantity, price, group).  What if temp_stor has a different value for price or group?

She attended Parsons School of Design, yet her unique technique for telling stories through digital collage is self-taught and has been her passion for over 10 years. Nature and its creatures are a familiar theme in MJ's work, however having grown up south of Boston her collages are heavily influenced by the energy of the city. Her work often merges the two worlds. Her path into the world of Tarot was a beautiful accident that came out of a difficult time in her life. The process of creating the Crow Tarot helped her discover her own wings, though at the time she didn't realize how life-changing the project would become. She simply fell in love with the process, the messages and the feeling each card evoked.
The Crow Tarot, MJ's first published deck, has achieved a significant following and recognition with crow lovers and the tarot community.
When MJ is not making art or writing she is spending time with her daughter, playing in nature, practicing magic, and finding new sources of inspiration.

During the celebrations of the 73rd anniversary of the liberation of the German Auschwitz camp, the Ambassador of Israel Anna Azari called for a change in the Polish Parliament's amendment introducing, among others, penalties for the wording "Polish death camps".
The Institute of National Remembrance considers the intervention of the embassy of another country in the amendment of an act which has not yet been passed as inappropriate. The words of the diplomat are all the more puzzling as they were uttered in Poland, which was the first victim of the German occupier. Initially, Poles were the ones who were imprisoned in the Auschwitz camp, which ultimately became the site of the extermination of mostly Jews. During the Second World War, nearly 6 million Polish citizens were killed, half of whom were Polish Jews and half ethnic Poles.
For several dozen years, Poland has been repeatedly slandered and portrayed as Hitler's accomplice, therefore, defending the good name of our nation against statements that have nothing to do with historical truth seems to be an obvious and necessary stance. Earlier, this defense was not effective enough, and the position of the Polish authorities was not always recognised in the public sphere.
The IPN would like to emphasise that the amendment to the Act on the Institute of National Remembrance does not limit scientific research or freedom of speech in any way, it is merely aimed at eliminating deliberate distortions of history, fighting against desecration of the memory of victims and the shaming of the survivors of German concentration camps.
Provisions regarding penalties for historical lies are also in force in other countries, and the Polish reaction in this matter should not be considered as distinctive.
If well documented, any charges against Poles regarding the period of the Second World War shall not be subject to legal sanctions. In fact, the legislator, the Ministry of Justice, wants to prevent statements of people who, deliberately, publicly and falsely attribute responsibility or co-responsibility to the Polish nation for crimes committed by the Third German Reich or other crimes against humanity, peace and war crimes.
For the Institute of National Remembrance, the fight against lies about "Polish death camps" is a particularly important mission. Last year, the IPN made the list of names of the personnel of the Nazi German death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau public, and it ought to be emphasised that not a single person among them was Polish. It is Germany as a state that is responsible for the crimes committed in concentration camps.
In response to the vilification of the Polish nation and the publication of historical lies, the Institute of National Remembrance has created the "Truth about German camps" portal in English. Defining Poles as Hitler's accomplices is a crime and should be strongly condemned while presenting facts.
In view of the above, the IPN has also published a new issue of its "Bulletin" entitled "Germans doomed people to this fate", devoted to German crimes in concentration camps. The authors of the features describe, among others, how in some countries the memory of these dark pages in history is blurred, especially among the younger generation.

Parks to be given corporate identity
THE Balearic government plans to design a corporative image to identify all the natural spaces and parks in the Balearics. It will also standardise sign posts for all protected areas. This was announced yesterday by government spokesman Joan Flaquer.
The new signs will make it easier to identify natural reserves, parks and government-owned estates, he said.
The environment ministry has a budget of 515'000 euros with which to develop this project.
The Balearics have nine areas which comply with European Union directives on parks.
They include the Llevant Park, Cala d'Hort, Mondragó, S'Albufera, Ufanes, Ses Salines and Sa Albufera des Grau.
Despite criticism from the opposition, the government says that it plans to revitalise the parks.
The government also approved a transfer of nearly 597'000 euros for an environmental park in Sa Pobla.
This particular park is to the north of Sa Pobla and covers an area of 24'140 square metres.
The government wants to create more public spaces with gardens and sports facilities, Flaquer said.

This is the original version (as it was originally adopted).
On 14 June 1985, the Governments of the Kingdom of Belgium, the Federal Republic of Germany, the French Republic, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and the Kingdom of the Netherlands signed an agreement at Schengen, a small town in Luxembourg, with a view to enabling '(…) all nationals of the Member States to cross internal borders freely (…)' and to enable the 'free circulation of goods and services'.
The five founding countries signed the Convention implementing the Schengen Agreement(2) on 19 June 1990, and were later joined by the Italian Republic on 27 November 1990, the Kingdom of Spain and the Portuguese Republic on 25 June 1991, the Hellenic Republic on 6 November 1992, the Republic of Austria on 28 April 1995 and by the Kingdom of Denmark, the Kingdom of Sweden and the Republic of Finland on 19 December 1996.
The Kingdom of Norway and the Republic of Iceland also concluded a Cooperation Agreement with the Member States on 19 December 1996 in order to join this Convention.
Subsequently, as of 26 March 1995, the Schengen acquis was fully applied in Belgium, Germany, France, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain and Portugal(3). As of 31 of March 1998, in Austria and Italy(4); as of 26 of March 2000 in Greece(5) and finally, as of 25 March 2001, the Schengen acquis was applicable in full in Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Denmark and Finland(6).
The United Kingdom (UK) and Ireland only take part in some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis, in accordance with Decision 2000/365/EC and Decision 2002/192/EC respectively.
In the case of the UK, the provisions in which the United Kingdom wished to take part (with exception of SIS) are applicable as of the 1 January 2005(7).
The Schengen acquis was incorporated into the legal framework of the European Union by means of protocols attached to the Treaty of Amsterdam(8) in 1999. A Council Decision was adopted on 12 May 1999, determining the legal basis for each of the provisions or decisions, which constitute the Schengen acquis, in conformity with the relevant provisions of the Treaty establishing the European Community and the Treaty on European Union.
From 1 May 2004, the Schengen acquis as integrated into the framework of the European Union by the Protocol annexed to the Treaty on European Union and to the Treaty establishing the European Community (hereinafter referred to as the Schengen Protocol), and the acts building upon it or otherwise related to it are binding on the Czech Republic, the Republic of Estonia, the Republic of Cyprus, the Republic of Latvia, the Republic of Lithuania, the Republic of Hungary, the Republic of Malta, the Republic of Poland, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic. As of 1 January 2007, this also applies to the Republic of Bulgaria and to Romania.
Some of the provisions of the Schengen acquis apply upon accession of new States to the EU. Other provisions shall only apply in these Member States pursuant to a Council decision to that effect. Finally, the Council takes a decision on the lifting of border checks, after verification that the necessary conditions for the application of all parts of the acquis concerned have been met in the Member State in question, in accordance with the applicable Schengen evaluation procedures and after consultation of the European Parliament.
In 2004, the Swiss Confederation signed an agreement with the European Union and the European Community concerning its association with the implementation, application and development of the Schengen acquis (9), which shall be read in conjunction with Decision 2004/860/EC.

DOVER, Del. (WBOC)- After nearly eight months of work, a panel studying Delaware's gaming industry has come back with a recommendation that could cost the state $30 million over the next two years.
The Lottery and Gaming Study Commission started working over the summer to see if there was anything the state could do to help bolster Delaware's ailing casinos.
A lot of the focus was on how the casinos, state, horesmen and slot machine vendors were splitting gambling revenue. Right now, the casinos pay all of the fees owed to the slot machine vendors, which lease the machines to the casinos. A big part of the commission's recommendation is having the state share a chunk of that cost.
That change would take effect on July 1. It would cost the state $10 million annually. More recommended changes would up that to $20 million annually starting July 1, 2015. All told, the proposal would cost Delaware $30 million over the next two years. And all of that is money the casinos would keep instead.
"[It's] an outcome that I think was the best we could hope for under the current circumstances. We have a fiscal situation in the state. The industry is not unaware of that," said Denis McGlynn, chairman of Dover Downs.
McGlynn also recognizes it's an election year, which could make this difficult territory. But it's the fiscal impact on an already hurting state budget that most concerns commission member and Economic Development Sec.. Alan Levin. He voted against the recommendation, which came from state Sen. Brian Bushweller, D-Dover.
"I think it went a little too far, and that's what concerns me," Sec. Levin said. "The taxpayers - he says it's not a tax - frankly, somebody has to make up that $20 million. There's going to be a gap in the budget. It's going to come out of the taxpayers' pocket."
Commission chair, state Finance Sec. Tom Cook, also worries about the money. But he still voted for the recommendation. He says having a more equitable distribution of casino revenue is worthwhile.
"It was a policy decision. The policy decision was easy to make. The financial decision certainly weighed upon me more. My concern was especially in the second year. I would rather have seen it be one year and reevaluate."
The recommendations have lawmakers reevaluate the setup in summer 2015.
These recommendations do have the support of Gov. Jack Markell. The full general assembly will now take a look at those recommendations. The players involved here acknowledge just because a majority of nine people could agree on changes doesn't mean a majority of 21 senators and 42 representatives can.

The hamburger. Cheeseburger. Bacon cheeseburger. Turkey burger. Bison burger. Veggie burger. Cheeseburger Pizza. Pizza burger.
People love their burgers. Everyone has their favorite burger and their favorite burger place. Whether it's the meat or the toppings or the bun or the presentation…something about your favorite burger makes it unique from one place to the next. Here's our staff's favorite places to find a burger in the Cumberland Valley.
The Appalachian thru-hiker turkey burger at Appalachian Brewing Company is my favorite…it's big, juicy and tasty. It's layered with spinach, melted gouda cheese (yum) and avocado. An added bonus, and perhaps what makes the burger, is the honey ginger mayonnaise – it is so good. I always order it on the side and ask for extra to dip my fries in. The sweet potato fries pair really nice with it.
Is it really a surprise that Americans eat nearly 50 billion burgers a year, which translates to three burgers a week for every single person in the United States? Well, that was the statistic shared by Huffington Post in October 2013. I must admit this burger lover isn't surprised, but I do fall short of the statistic only averaging 2 per month. This shortfall does make my burger choices dining difficult at times especially when on would like spread the wealth and visit different restaurants from time to time. However when it comes right down to it, I like comfort so I always return to one of my favorites, the Boursin Burger, at Brewhouse Grille in Camp Hill. The Brewhouse Grille offers a comfortable atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating when the weather is suitable in PA and we're headed in that direction. They always grill my burger perfectly for my taste, medium well, and the blending of the cheese and caramelized onions on top gives it great flavor. Now I must warn you a few napkins may be in order, but it's worth the clean-up. Pair your burger with a side salad and you may feel a little healthier, as I do every time I indulge. So mix up your next three a week burger choice and try my favorite or find your favorite at Brewhouse Grille.
One of my favorite burgers in Cumberland Valley is the Lamb Burger from Café Bruges. Often lost on their popular menu including fritas, crepes and waffles, this unassuming burger comes on a toasted roll with gruyere cheese and your choice of sauce. The simplicity is what really hits the spot, as the perfectly seasoned lamb hits the taste buds at full force. You'll want to eat this burger slow, and savor each delicious bite.
One of my favorite places to eat in Shippensburg is CJ's American Pub & Grill. I like the casual atmosphere and friendly and quick service. You can choose to eat in the bar area or in the dining room. At most restaurants, my default order is the Crab Cake. But something about CJ's makes we almost always want to order one of their burgers. They are very filling (1/2 pound) and always cooked to perfection. CJ's Gourmet Burger is an ideal choice if you are looking for a classic cheeseburger, but other delicious options include The Philly Burger (with sautéed peppers & onions plus provolone) or the ShippensBurger (with sautéed mushrooms, onion straws, crumbled blue cheese, and CJ's sauce). The burgers come with house-made chips, fries or sweet potato fries. You can't go wrong with any of these options. My suggestion: everyone in your party chooses a different option and then you all share. Be sure to wash down your meal with one of the local draft beers always on tap.
Every so often my hunger yearns for a delicious hamburger. On a recent visit to Mechanicsburg, I decided to try the Colony Restaurant for lunch. After reviewing a large variety of menu items, decided to try their hamburger. I was not disappointed. The hamburger was cooked to perfection and was still very juicy and flavorful since I like medium well. The toppings - lettuce (crispy), tomato (2 slices), and pickles (crispy) were tasty and the roll was flavorful and fresh. This made for a great meal and a happy customer. Will definitely be returning.
There are a lot of fancy and unique burger options in Cumberland Valley, but when it comes down to a basic cheeseburger my favorite is the Flinchburger from Flinchy's in Camp Hill. It doesn't have a lot of frills, but it's very tasty and satisfying. Flinchy's is a great place to go for all your American favorites, including another favorite of mine, their crispy wings with Asian sauce.
1794 Whiskey Rebellion has been open for a little over a year, but they've done enough to make an impression on me (and many others, as they're ranked the #1 restaurant in Carlisle according to Trip Advisor). While I could make a case for Appalachian Brewing Company and CJ's (both previously mentioned), the Molly Burger takes top prize from me. The Molly Burger is a woodfired, 8 oz. burger, topped with soft cow's cheese, house-cut Amish bacon, kale (I don't really do kale…so I had them hold that) on a broche roll. If you're wanting a little more, you can add a duck egg for $2. Chef Jeff Utzman's menu vision for 1794 is focused ingredients from local farms, and that's evident in the Molly Burger. The burger is juicy and the bacon is unlike most you'll find at other restaurants. I'm always a fan of a broche bun and it's done well here.


RAPID CITY, S.D. — It seems like a lifetime ago that the Rush were flirting with the top spot in the division. A killer slump to close out 2018 that bled into 2019, sent the once hopeful boys from the Black Hills into a downward spiral that nearly had them tied with the Allen Americans in the Mountain Division cellar.
Flip the page to the middle of January where the Rush faced off against the top-tiered Florida Everblades and came away with two points in that three-game series despite being outscored 11-4. The momentum from that series spilled into their annual Stock Show road trip resulting in taking six points and a 2-2-2-0 record against five different teams.
Not wanting to rest on their laurels, the Rush continued their climb in the Mountain Division as they took on the Wichita Thunder for a pair of games last weekend.
On Friday night, both teams were held off the stat sheet for the first 25 minutes-plus of the contest as Tyler Parks and Ty Rimmer stopped a combined 19 shots. Rapid City secured a pair of goals in the middle frame, both coming off the stick of Cedric Montminy.
Wichita didn't go quietly into the night as special teams cut the deficit in half with 90-seconds remaining of a powerplay goal from Taylor Cammarata. The visitors would get no closer as Parks secured the win stopping a penalty shot with just two seconds left in the contest and 19-of-20 shots on the night for the Rush.
Saturday's rematch started with an offensive explosion in the opening frame seeing the home team take a commanding 4-1 advantage into the first intermission.
Both teams traded off goals in the first half of the period with Chris Leibinger scoring for the Rush at 3:55 and Pierre-Cedric Labrie countering at 6:30 for the visitors. Rapid City was able to rattle off three straight goals in just over nine minutes, including a powerplay goal from Justin Faryna, to build a three-goal advantage.
Special teams contributed to both goals in the middle frame as the Rush took a 5-1 lead off a powerplay goal by Tyler Poulsen only to see the Thunder counter with a short-handed goal from Lane Bauer.
Things looked promising for an easy sweep for Rapid City as they started the final 20 minutes with a 5-to-2 advantage. Wichita wasn't about to go down without swinging, however, Jeremy Beaudry and Stefan Fournier each pocketed a powerplay goal just 1:15 apart to pull the visiting Thunder within a single goal with 13 minutes left in regulation. From there, the Rush defense tightened up and secured two empty net power-play goals, sweeping the Thunder by the final score of 7-4.
Adam Carlson secured the win for the Rush, stopping 28-of-32 shots on the night that put the Rush squarely in fifth place in the division.
The Rush currently sit in fifth place in the Mountain Division. While they are only four points out of the final playoff spot the team they are trailing, the Kansas City Mavericks, the Mavs also have six games in hand on Rapid City.
Every series the Rush will play for the rest of the season should be considered a "mini-playoff series" if they want to keep their postseason hopes alive. Of the remaining 21 games on the schedule, 18 are against division opponents. Of those 18 games, the Rush will face the Grizzlies and Steelheads a combined 14 times. So there is very little room for error.
The Rush travel to Idaho for a three-game series. Puck drop for the first game is Wednesday night at 7:10 pm MT from CenturyLink Arena.


In the music scene that Simmons engineered, politics was not on the playlist. It was a question of style–and Simmons is betting that for thousands of young people, it still is. His newest project is Hip-Hop Team Vote, a voter-registration initiative launched by the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network (HSAN), which he co-founded with Benjamin Chavis, a former head of the NAACP (who was dismissed after being accused of using NAACP funds to defend himself against a sexual harassment suit). Luring young hip-hop fans with headliners like Eminem, Jay-Z, Nas and P. Diddy, HSAN has been promoting a political agenda that supports drug-law reform, opposes education cuts and encourages community development programs.
"It has to be in style to get people to show up," says Simmons. An August Hip-Hop Summit in Philadelphia was stylish enough to net an estimated 11,000 new registered voters. To gain entrance to an event that featured panel discussions with LL Cool J, Wyclef Jean and other rappers, attendees had to register to vote. If they were already registered, they had to bring a friend who wasn't. Pennsylvania Governor Edward Rendell credited the summit's full-force publicity campaign (sponsored in part by Clear Channel) with signing up roughly 88,000 new Democratic and 9,000 Republican voters in a matter of weeks. Those numbers, says Penny Lee, a spokesperson from Governor Rendell's office, are "unprecedented." Though the outcome may tilt toward the left, Hip-Hop Team Vote is divorced from the specific issues that HSAN engages. In September, Hip-Hop Team Vote forged a partnership with Smackdown Your Vote!, a World Wrestling Entertainment endeavor that urges viewers to take national politics as seriously as professional wrestling. Neither registration drive endorses a particular candidate or party.
Meanwhile, Rock the Vote, the dinosaur that started it all by making voting cool in '92, spiced up the Democratic race November 4 with a forum on CNN for 18-to-30-year-olds. Candidates presented their best shots at a hip thirty-second promotional video and were grilled on issues like job creation, the Patriot Act, marijuana use, partying and the Confederate flag. Morning-after media analysis cast the debate as a rare opening for non-Dean candidates to sneak in some winning punches against the front-runner before a crowd he has been actively cultivating: young voters.
In accordance with the short tradition of youth-vote mobilization, rockers, rappers and wrestlers hope to spark a good debate. But they are keeping it nonpartisan. The punks are a different story. "We are taking sides, and we want to offend a lot of people," says NOFX's Fat Mike (Mike Burkett), who founded a voter-registration website called Punkvoter "to expose the Bush administration and unite punks to stand against their inane policies." The website is the first step in an effort to spur punks to vote against Bush in 2004; next is a compilation album called Rock Against Bush. There will be some twenty bands on the album–including hot sellers Green Day and Sum 41 and the more politically charged Anti-Flag–some of which will kick off a tour in March to spread the outrage, and registration booths will be on-site at every event.

Listing the greatest composers of all time could be a subjective ordeal to begin with. However, there could be a consensus that all of the most revered composers in history have their fair share of greatness and ingenuity in the field of music. What makes these composers even greater is that they showed brilliance especially in the midst of the limitations and restrictions of their time. It doesn't matter who the best among these composers are because they deserve the top spot in their own rights.
Johann Sebastian Bach is forever etched in history as one of the greatest names in his time. Bach is not an inventor of new music genre during his lifetime but he surely perfected all the styles and forms of music, which ever existed during his day. The masterpieces of Bach are in the area of fugue music, a form that even the musical geniuses Beethoven and Mozart admittedly hated writing. Bach could create and improvise fugues in as short as two hours and only uses his memory to write them down. Bach is known for his musical complexities and in writing six of the finest concerti grossi in history.
The name Mozart is associated with supreme composition in music history with specialization in lyrical and melodic quality. Even other melodic composers are in awe of his genius in his field particularly the likes of Chopin, Schubert, Saint-Saens, and Tchaikovsky. Dubbed as the most gifted musical genius of all time, Mozart created and perfected classical music and wrote 41 symphonies, 23 operas, and 27 piano concerti. Mozart wrote full orchestral scores for his music with no corrections whatsoever.
Beethoven is the inventor of romantic music and considered one of the greatest composers in history. The start of his career is marked with imitation of the styles of Haydn and Mozart but his creation of his 3rd Symphony or Eroica along with his 4th and 5th piano concerti paved the way for the emergence of the romantic era in music. Beethoven's works were mainly due to his idiosyncratic and finest crafts, making his masterpieces the finest of its kind in music history. Most importantly, it is noteworthy to remember that Beethoven achieved all his success in the musical arena despite his complete deafness that lasted for 25 years of his existence.
Schubert is synonymous with being the greatest songwriter of all time and the second in lyrical and melodic composition. Schubert naturally mastered all forms of music in his day and his passion for this form of art made him famous as finishing one song, throwing his finished work to the floor and grabbing another sheet to start composing another. The most famous masterpiece of Schubert is his Piano Quartet also known as the Trout, including a song that he wrote as a movement. Other finest works that are under his name include the ballet music to Rosamunde, his 8th and 9th symphonies, and the Marche Militaire.
