We see it all around us. Technology is becoming more and more embedded into our daily lives. While it used to be sufficient to attend industry networking events and keep in touch with our existing customers, it's becoming increasingly important to also have a strong, professional online identity. But with 98.5% of all businesses in British Columbia classified as small and medium sized businesses, there's a good chance you don't have your own marketing and PR staff to rely on to develop and curate your professional online identity. The good news is that it's not too complicated to set this up on your own and it will also be more authentic when you are the one crafting your message.
Q: I already have a good customer base. Why do I need to worry about my professional online identity?
A: You want to make sure you engage with your current customer base following their movements interacting online and you want to be visible to people when they are doing Google searches looking for either you or your products or services.
Q: I already come up high in Google. Do I need to still be on social media?
A: According to a recent study of 2,000 hiring managers by Harris Interactive, 37% of companies went beyond just Google and actively looked at social media sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter to investigate candidates. Only 15 percent said their company policy prohibits snooping on social media for background checks. This doesn't just impact prospective employees looking for work, it also impact contractors working on projects. For many smaller businesses, you are the face of your business. You don't have a billion dollar brand to rely on but you can every day build on your own personal brand.
A: Establishing an effective and professional online web presence doesn't have to be rocket science. Follow these five tips and you will be well on your way!
While it's good to be on social media, it's critical to have a "domain of one's own", i.e. a personal, professional website that you can use as an online anchor. This isn't just a company site – you need that too – this is a site that is your public online presence.
You don't need to spend thousands of dollars to build a professionally looking website.
One of the best tools for this is the free and open source WordPress, the most popular blogging and content management system with approximately 20 percent of the entire Web using it.
that you have less control over themes and plugin functionality than if you set up your own self-hosted WordPress site at a company like CaCloud (www.cacloud.com). They have affordable, shared hosting packages and use a tool called Softaculous that makes it easy for a non-technical person to set up a WordPress site in just a few minutes. There are other sites you could consider like www.wix.com or www.weebly.com. These look good but may not always offer as much customization and extensibility. Services like www.about.me or www.flavors.me give you a nameplate type site but again don't offer the power of a full-fledged content management system like WordPress.
One of the first things you should do on your new site is to set up a Web analytics tool like the free Google Analytics (www.google.com/analytics) so you can track who is coming to your site, where they are coming from, how long they are staying there, which pages they leave from, etc. You should also set up a Google Alert (www.google.com/alerts). You can enter your keywords such as your name and company name and also select how frequently you want to receive alerts and which region you want Google to focus on. Whenever the Google search index comes across your name being used, it will send you an email alert with a link to the web source. You want to be the first to know about both the good and bad being said about you or your products!
As part of your website, be sure to have a blog and write regular posts, at least once a month if not more frequently. Make sure your posts are not self-advertising but instead offer some valuable insights or commentary on your industry. This will help establish yourself as a reputable person in your industry.
There are a lot of social media networks you could start using like Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, Foursquare etc. but you may find you just don't have time to cover them all, especially when you're getting started. The two that will likely have the biggest impact for your business are Twitter and LinkedIn. LinkedIn has much more of a professional business networking focus than the more personal oriented Facebook. Twitter is a great way to follow leaders in your industry and connect with colleagues, potential employers and customers. It is also a relatively quick way to share useful information with others, again to build up your online presences as a reputable person. It's good to follow the 80:20 rule, 80 percent of what you post should be about news, trends, tips and only 20 percent promoting your products and services. No one wants to follow an advertising stream.
Now that you have your measurement systems in place, you should at least once a month monitor how you are doing and make adjustments as necessary. How fast are your social media connections growing? Are people starting to engage with your website and blog? How many unique and return visitors are you getting to your website? Are there any additional social media tools you want to leverage like HootSuite (www.hootsuite) or SocialMention (www.socialmention.com)? Most importantly, how is your professional online presence turning into leads, sales and revenue?

Do you speak my language?

Happy New Year and "um Bom Ano Novo"!
Exactly two years ago – doesn't time fly? – I wrote a well-received piece, entitled 'Portuguese for Idiots', on these pages prompting me to attempt another tongue-in-cheek safari into the intriguing flora and fauna of the linguistic jungle.
Let us begin with some local 'delicacies'. Given the time of year, "inverno", or winter, you really don't have to be embarrassed about admitting to being "constipado" as suffering from a cold – during 'normal' times, anyway – is quite normal, as is having a bit of a "tosse", or cough!
The older ones amongst us might benefit from covering our "careca" (no, not fondness for a pint, "caneca", but baldness) with a "gorro", or woolly hat, as well as keeping out the cold with some "meias" (not halves) and "luvas" – or socks and gloves. The latter should not be confused with "uvas", although grapes and their popular liquid end-product can also contribute to a feeling of inner warmth.
Whilst on the subject of similar-sounding words, "luta" and "luto" can also be easily confused – you really don't want to be looking for a 'fight' when actually 'grieving' (respectively).
Other examples of instances which could cause a perfectly ordinary situation to take an entirely undesirable or comical turn are shopping for a suit, or "fato", but asking for a "pato" (duck) – the shop assistant might get a bit "farto" (no, he or she is not suffering from flatulence, just getting fed up!) – whereas a slight mispronunciation in a restaurant will see you end up with an apple ("maçã") on your plate – "prato", not "prata" (silver) – as opposed to a much lusted-after pasta ("massa").
Furthermore, you do not want to go looking for "cocó" or "pau" instead of "coco" and "pão" in the supermarket unless your dog has been naughty, and you are after 'poo' on a 'stick' rather than 'coconut' and 'bread'.
Even after many years in the Algarve, some of these close relations will still confuse you, as will the door signs "puxe" and "empurre" – 'pull' and 'push' – which perform the opposite physical action from those indicated.
English also has any number of idiosyncrasies which will leave any non-native speaker forever flummoxed.
You can be 'drunk as a skunk', 'sober as a judge', 'sick as a parrot', 'eat like a horse' or 'healthy as an ox' unless you're knackered. Something can be no good or bollocks, unless it's the dog's bollocks, in which case it's the absolute best – but more of idioms a little later.
German and English are supposed to be closely related, both stemming from West Germanic. In practice, almost identical words such as 'Bier', 'Haus', 'Schule', 'Glass', 'Grass', 'Keller' or 'Bruder', to name just a few, seem to bear this theory out until you get down to the nitty gritty when there are numerous exceptions to almost all the very fiendish grammar rules as well as every noun from turnip to ring binder enjoying a separate gender.
But let us return closer to home. Geographically, Spain is Portugal's most immediate neighbour but, although also Latin-based and spoken by over 430 million people in 21 countries worldwide, Spanish is almost incomprehensible to the untrained ear.
Speed of delivery, pronunciation and variations between Castilian, Catalan and Basque dialects give it an entirely different sound from Portuguese.
Moving along, more understandable are the communication difficulties between 'us' and the French, politics apart. The main romance language with Latin as its root was strongly influenced by the invading German-speaking Franks during the fifth century, imposing their own pronunciation and word patterns to such an extent that today's spoken version is very different to its Spanish and Italian cousins – the Germans have a lot to answer for! Which brings me back to the origin of Portuguese, which has evolved from 'vulgar' Latin spoken by Legionnaires during the days of Roman occupation, and thus modern Italian is more closely related to today's Portuguese than any other language. Although I have never learnt Italian, I found myself easily following Italian daytime soap operas on television as soon as I had become fluent here. Mind you, having said that, what resemblance does "Bella giornata oggi, vero?" bear to "lindo dia hoje, nao é?" (lovely day today, isn't it?)? Double Dutch, if you ask me!
To finish up, some more choice idioms as promised earlier. In Spain, for example, you would feel like 'a cockroach at a chicken dance' or 'an octopus in a garage' rather than a 'fish out of water'. Remaining on the Iberian Peninsula, should you prove unable 'to see three people on a donkey', you would be 'blind as a bat', whereas to avoid 'feeding cake to the donkey' in Portugal signifies not 'casting pearls before swine'.
But hold your German 'ears stiff' or your English 'chin up' because, looking back, it's 'all Hebrew' to the French, 'Chinese' to the Spanish (and Portuguese!), 'Spanish' to the Germans and 'all Greek' to me … and I never mentioned the 'c'-word!

The Luck of the Irish is a whimsical cliché` that one hears from time to time on the occasion of an unexpected good fortune. But many people make merry of the Luck of the Irish particularly on March 17th otherwise known as St. Patrick's Day. Indeed on St. Patrick's Day there are parades and festivals; people converge upon Irish pubs to drink green beer; sing old Irish songs together; and then go home and eat green pastries.
The rejoicing is for good reason, which is to gaily commemorate their Irish heritage. Old stories of shamrocks are told and read to little children; and sometimes St. Patrick's Day is just as another motivation for even those other than the Irish to happily join in the celebration and rejoice with friends and acquaintances.
Even so, St. Patrick's Day, or the Feast of St. Patrick is intrinsically more than joviality for a day. Rather it is a cultural and religious celebration in respect for St. Patrick (c. AD 385-461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland who died on March 17. The day commemorates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland and is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It is also widely celebrated by the Irish diaspora around the world, especially in Great Britain, Canada, the United States, Argentina, Australia, and New Zealand.
It is here that we see that the annual St. Patrick's Day celebration is about more than luck; its commemorations are about more than merriness; but about the blessed Christian faith in Jesus that finally came to light to a people in a country far, far away from its origination. No longer about false hope but is more about access to an eternal grace now and forever that is greater than luck.

Calling the Pen: Remembering the 1890s' Orioles, Baltimore's first champs
By Tom Delise
Most baseball fans who live in Baltimore know about the great Orioles teams who won six pennants and three Worlds Series between 1966 and 1983, including three pennants in a row from 1969-1971.
However, many Baltimoreans may not realize that more than 70 years before the St. Louis Browns moved to Baltimore in 1954 to become our Orioles, another professional team by the same name roamed four different ballparks that stood in various locations in the area just west of Greenmount Avenue between 24th and 29th Street. Between 1894 and 1896, these Orioles won three consecutive National League pennants. That's right, the Orioles were once in the National League.
The first Orioles team was in the American Association, a professional league that competed with the NL between 1882 and 1891, but when the AA folded at the end of the 1891 season, the Orioles were accepted into the NL.
The Orioles of the AA were a mediocre team at best, so a mere 12 games into their inaugural season in the NL, team owner and local brewery magnate Harry Von der Horst hired Edward "Ned" Hanlon as the team's manager. This proved to be a momentous decision, and Von der Horst promised he would stay out of Hanlon's way — he even wore a button that said, "Ask Hanlon" to deflect people from approaching him with management suggestions.
In his first two years, Hanlon purged the roster of unmotivated and untalented players, hired young and hungry ones to replace them, and instituted and relentlessly drilled his players in an innovative style of play that would turn the Orioles into a championship team that eventually dominated the league.
Nicknamed "Foxy Ned" and "The Father of Modern Baseball," Hanlon revolutionized the game by devising or popularizing what became known as "Inside" baseball, which featured an aggressive brand of in-your-face play that employed the hit-and-run, expert bunting, the "Baltimore chop," the squeeze, and other innovations such as having the pitcher cover first base on balls hit to the right side of the infield.
During Hanlon's seven-year tenure as the manager of the O's, he compiled a 555-361 record (.601) and led the team to three straight pennants and two second-place finishes. The Orioles also won two Temple Cup Championships, a precursor of the modern World Series where the first- and second-place teams in the league played a best-of-seven series. And Hanlon is also generally credited with bringing the orange and black colors to the team's uniforms.
Hanlon was acknowledged as being an excellent judge of baseball talent, and he assembled teams with great players. Wee Willie Keeler, Dan Brouthers, John McGraw, Hughie Jennings, Joe Kelley, and Wilbert Robinson were mainstays of the pennant-winning teams. He also added other accomplished players, including Walter "Steve" Brodie (who recited Shakespeare in center field), Heinie Reitz, "Dirty" Jack Doyle, Bill "Boileryard" Clarke, and Frank Foreman (a life-long Hampden resident).
Notable Oriole pitchers were Tony Mullane (who won 284 games in his career), the dependable Sadie McMahon, Jerry Nops, and Kid Gleeson (who later was the unfortunate manager of the infamous 1919 Black Sox).
The baseball played during this time was no place for the faint of heart. The game routinely featured frequent fights between players, abominably foul and offensive language, crowd riots, rabid "cranks" (the word for fans in those days) who abused opposing players and umpires, and a flagrant disregard of rules by all teams.
Because there was normally only one umpire who could not see everything, players commonly cheated by taking short cuts around the bases, interfering with runners in the base paths, and a multitude of other infractions. Most regarded the Orioles as the dirtiest team, and one reporter of the time commented that "McGraw uses every low and contemptible method that his erratic brain can conceive to win a play by a dirty trick."
In addition, the Orioles were notorious for "kicking." The term refers to umpire baiting; however, "virulent abuse" might be a more accurate description. Almost to a man, the 1890s' Orioles probably could have taught Earl Weaver a thing or two. The Orioles became the darlings of Baltimore, but because of their unscrupulous antics and success in winning games, they were generally despised by the rest of the baseball world — the first "Evil Empire" of sports.
When the league contracted after the 1889 season, the Orioles were one of four teams that were bounced out, but a new Orioles team joined the newly formed American League in 1901. During the first two years they were managed by John McGraw and played their games at the American League Park where a McDonalds now stands just south of 29th Street. But after the 1902 season, the franchise was moved to New York to become the New York Highlanders, later renamed the Yankees — the "Evil Empire" of modern baseball.
Six men who played for the Orioles during Hanlon's tenure end up the Hall of Fame: Brouthers, McGraw, Jennings, Keeler, Kelley, and Robinson. Hanlon followed his boys into the Hall in 1996. McGraw went on to manage the New York Giants for 30 years and won a total a total of 2,784 games (second only to Connie Mack), 10 pennants and three World Series. Jennings managed the Detroit Tigers and Ty Cobb for 12 years and won more than 1,100 games and two pennants. Robinson managed the NL Brooklyn Robins (named after him) for 18 years, winning more than 1,300 games and two pennants. Hanlon later managed the Brooklyn Superbas of the NL for seven years and won two pennants and the Chronicle-Telegraph Cup in 1900 (another precursor of the World Series).
The 1890s' Orioles were a fleeting moment baseball history in Baltimore, but what a time it was. If you know where to look, vestiges of these players and those times can still be found. Until his death in 1937, Hanlon lived for more than 30 years at 1401 Mount Royal Avenue in the Bolton Hill section of Baltimore. He was a city park commissioner for almost 20 years and working for him there was his old centerfielder, Steve Brodie, whose job it was to lay out baseball diamonds in the city parks. Brodie's longtime home where he died in 1935 still stands at 2729 Maryland Avenue.
In Charles Village, within walking distance of the old ballparks, the homes of John McGraw and Wilbert Robinson (2738 and 2740 St. Paul Street) still stand side-by-side. Tragically, McGraw's first wife, Minnie, died there of at age 23 of a ruptured appendix. A block away you can still see Joe Kelley's house at 2826 N. Calvert Street where his funeral was held in 1943. Throughout that neighborhood, there are other sites of significance to those old Orioles.
Then there are the old ballparks where some of most hallowed names in baseball history challenged the Orioles: Cy Young, Honus Wagner, Cap Anson, Ed Delahanty, Nap Lajoie, Charlie Comiskey, Connie Mack, Amos Rusie, Kid Nichols, and Rube Waddell — just to name a few. No physical structures of those parks remain, but you can retrace their perimeters and walk the glorious grounds of Union Park where Hanlon's teams won their three pennants.
The site is located in-between Barclay Street to the east, Hunter Alley to the west, and in-between 25th and 24th Streets. If you look at the extant photos of Union Park, you can clearly see the buildings along 25th and Barclay Streets that once overlooked the old park. They now serve as silent guardians of the memories of Baltimore's first champions.
And over at New Cathedral Cemetery here in Baltimore, Hanlon, McGraw, Robinson, and Kelley are all buried. No cemetery in the country is the final resting place of so many Hall of Famers.
Tom Delise grew up in New York as a Mets fan and Yankee hater, and to this day, Tom Seaver is his baseball hero. He has lived in Baltimore for 34 years and has held season tickets for the Orioles since 1992 and the Ravens since they moved here. He retired in 2018 after a 40-year career as an English teacher and now spends much of his time reading, especially about "old time" baseball. He lives in the Bolton Hill section of Baltimore with his wife Christine and his dogs Shakespeare and Cordelia.

There are a couple of errors and omissions in this article. The National League contracted after the 1890 season, not 1889, and Baltimore lost the franchise. But part of the reason for this was what was called "syndicate ownership". The ownership of the Orioles also owned the Brooklyn "Trolleydodgers", and they gave up the Baltimore franchise.
Also, the modern day Orioles won THREE World Series between 1966 and 1983.
Seaver Fan
Thanks for the corrections, Pete. As you can see, I made the same typo regarding the 1899 contraction However, as an O's fan, I don't know what I was thinking when I listed only two World Series Championships — that's a big error!
Regarding syndication, I felt I did not have enough room in the essay to give the issue its due — I think it would be a good topic for its own essay.
The syndicate issue did not involve just the Baltimore franchise. Beside the Baltimore/Brooklyn syndicate, there were other syndicates in the latter part of the 1890s: St. Louis/Cleveland and New York/Cincinnati. The syndicate issue had an especially disastrous result for the Cleveland Spiders in 1899 who compiled a dismal 20-134 record for that season. McGraw managed the Orioles that year and considering he lost Wee Willie Keeler, Joe Kelley, Hughie Jennings, and Doc McJames to the Brooklyn club, the team actually did pretty well, finishing fourth in a twelve team league with a record of 86-62. However, Hanlon, who moved over the manage the Brooklyn team in the syndicate,seems to have tried to keep the Baltimore somewhat competitive, leaving McGraw with some good players for the 1899 season including Joe McGinnity, Wilbert Robinson, Steve Brodie, Jimmy Sheckard. Jerry Nops, Frank Kitson, and Ducky Holmes. McGraw himself played third base for that team, and in 117 games he hit .391 with a .547 OPS.
With the contraction after the 1899 season, syndicates were prohibited.
Regarding the Brooklyn Trolley Dodgers, determining the names of some of these clubs during this period can be confusing due to different sources listing them by different names — sometimes in the same article. For Brooklyn, it has been claimed they had more names than any other club. However, most of the sources I have encountered prior to 1899 refer to them as the Brooklyn Grooms or Bridegrooms. When Hanlon takes over the 1899 club, they become know as the Superbas. It isn't until about 1911-12 that they become known as the Trolley Dodgers, and that name only seems to last until the old Oriole Wilbert Robinson becomes the manager in 1914 and they become the Brooklyn Robins. When Robinson leaves the team after the 1931 season, they become know as the Brooklyn Dodgers, shortened from the old Trolley Dodgers, starting in 1932.
Correction by me . The NL contracted in 1899, not 1890 or 1889.
Wish I could type better.
Thank you for catching the three World Series, Pete,
Very entertaining article, love the history angle …go O's…
Thanks, CalsPals — I sure am ready for some baseball.
Boog Robinson Robinson
Rich … Thanks for remembering to include a call out to Boileryard Clarke … HOF name if there ever was one!
I may just name my next dog after him.
Ken, you didn't read very carefully if you think I wrote this. Tom Delise did a fine job.
My sincerest apologies to Mr. Delise. I did not read the headline/credit closely enough.
It was a very interesting read Tom.
Boog Robinsons Robinson — Yes, Boileryard is a great nickname, and he was a big part of the success of those Orioles teams from 1893 — 1898, He seemed to be one of the few stabilizing personalities on a team of generally volatile characters. He was the last of the old Orioles to pass away — dying at age of 90, in 1959. It would be a great name for a dog! Thanks for replying.
https://www.sports-reference.com/blog/2014/07/1901-02-orioles-removed-from-yankees-history/
Thanks, whiterose for the link. I personally would love for the historical ties between the O's and the Yankees to be totally dissolved in every way.
It is except for those unaware of this decision. That is why I keep this link in my bookmarks.
Rmays
Excellent! Thank you very much. Now let's Play Ball!
Thanks, Randy. I am with you — it is time for some baseball — we all need it.
Bancells Moustache
Great great stuff here, Tom, I love it! The 19th century Orioles are a nerdy interest of mine and I wish the current franchise paid homage to their history more. It's one of my major pet peeves that there isn't a statue of McGraw, Hanlon or Wee Willie, one of them, if not in the centerfield statue garden then at least somewhere on the stadium grounds. And yes I know that two bit outfit in the Bronx technically took the 1902 team and it's history with them, doesn't mean Baltimore need surrender everything to them. If anyone wants further reading on that team "Where They Ain't" by Burt Solomon is a delight.
Also, fun 'Bancells Moustache is a total dork' fact; there have been multiple instances where, prior to arriving at Camden Yards, myself and a few friends have stopped at New Cathedral to do a shot of Jameson with old Muggsy McGraw.
Glad you like it, Bancells. I absolutely agree that the current O's should honor the Old Orioles, even if they were part of the National League at the time and even though they really are not the origin of the current franchise. They were, after all, called the Orioles and they were from Baltimore. There should be an Old Orioles Corner somewhere at Camden Yards.
The city should also erect something that recognizes the area where all the old Orioles ball parks were. There were at total of five of them, and the old Orioles played at four. The fifth was the home of the Federal League Baltimore Terrapins club and was located on what is today the site of the Peabody Brewery. Something should be done to recognize the great players who seem to be a baseball afterthought these days.
I am a kindred spirit regarding old Orioles nostalgia — what a great idea — honoring the Old O;s at their graves before the season. Before most season openers, my tradition is to wander the area of the old ball parks and walk their perimeters and visit the homes of the old Orioles that are still standing. Also, the spot where Hanlon's long time home was is right around the corner from my house and I am wistful every time I walk my dogs past it. There is a church, Corpus Christie Catholic Church, right across the street from Hanlon's that performed Hanlon's funeral. Connie Mack and Clark Griffith were honorary pall bearers.
Burt Solomon;s book is excellent, and if you haven't read them, I would also highly recommend Baseball in Baltimore: The First Hundred Years, by James Bready and Baltimore Baseball From First Pitch to First Pennant.
Calvin95
Some owners could follow the lead of Harry Von der Horst today.
Agree, Calvin95. Harry stayed out of the way and didn't hesitate to spend money on the team — that is my definition of a perfect owner!
OriolesNumber1Fan
The real reason the Baltimore Orioles moved to NY to ultimately become the Evil Empire yanks.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1902_Baltimore_Orioles_season
And the reason owners aren't allowed to own more than 1 baseball franchise anymore.
And as far as removing their history from the yanks, whiterose ref, I say no, not on my watch. The evil empire should remember where they came from. So anytime a yank fan makes fun of the Orioles, I remind them that they used to be Orioles. So in essence they are making fun of themselves. Lol
It is done. It was not a move, But you can still say the Yankess came about after AL Orioles were disolved.


In a circuit race through Colorado Springs that included everything from flat sprints through the city streets to challenging climbs in picturesque Garden of the Gods, Elia Viviani (Cannondale Pro Cycling) emerged victorious in Stage 4 of the 2014 USA Pro Challenge after catching Jens Voigt (Trek Factory Racing) following a solo breakaway. Tejay van Garderen (BMC Racing Team) held onto the overall lead and has a 20-second advantage leading into the fifth day of racing tomorrow.
A third year host city, Colorado Springs featured a challenging 70-mile circuit race today that included four Sierra Nevada KOM competitions and three Lexus sprint lines. After a ceremonial start at the world-famous Broadmoor, the race headed into town and joined up with a 16-mile circuit that would be raced four times. In addition to some flat sections, the stage featured climbs through Garden of the Gods, Mesa Rd. and the infamous Ridge Rd., which hits grades of nearly 17 percent.
Almost immediately after they started racing, 11 riders broke away in an attack that would last for quite a while. The group included Voigt and Laurent Didier (Trek Factory Racing), Gregor Mühlberger (Team NetApp-Endura), Adam Phelan (Drapac Professional Cycling), Danny Summerhill (UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team), Martijn Verschoor (Team Novo-Nordisk), Rob Britton (Team SmartStop), Oscar Clark (and Tims Skujins (Hincapie Sportswear Development Team), Ben Jacques-Maynes (Jamis-Hagens Berman), Steve Fisher (Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis) and Ruben Zepuntke (Bissell Development Team).
At just more than 10 miles into the race, the riders in the break, traveling 38 mph, had already gained three minutes and 10 seconds over the field. Approaching the first of three KOM competitions in the stage at Garden of the Gods, a picturesque national landmark, Jacques-Maynes hit the top first, followed by Voigt and Summerhill. Traveling at 40 mph, the gap increased to four minutes.
Heading into the second lap and just 5K away from the second KOM of the day at Garden of the Gods, Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies took the lead on the chase and cut the gap down to three and a half minutes. At the first Lexus Sprint Line of the day, Summerhill sped off to cross the line first, followed by Zepuntke and Britton.
With UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team and Team Garmin-Sharp taking the lead on the chase, the gap continued to drop leading into the second KOM of the day. Jacques-Maynes pushed it to hit the top first and build a lead in the KOM jersey competition. He was followed by Voigt and Summerhill.
Halfway into the stage and approaching the second and final sprint line of the day, Summerhill took max points, building a lead in the sprint jersey competition. He was followed by Skujins and Zepuntke.
With 40K to go approaching the third KOM of the day, Voigt launched an attack and took Jacques-Maynes with him. At the top of the climb Jacques-Maynes kicked into gear and crossed the line first, but then fell back to the chase group. Voigt reached the top second and later, from the group behind, Summerhill third. Simultaneously Didier and Verschoor fell off the back of the break and Verschoor would eventually fall of the chase as well and was reabsorbed.
With about 30K left in the race, Voigt had opened up a one minute gap on his chasers and almost three minutes on the field. As the riders crossed the line to head into the final circuit lap of the race, the chase and the field started to come together to go after Voigt. As he crossed the summit of the last KOM, Voigt had about one minute and 20 seconds on his chasers. When the group reached the top, Lucas Euser (UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team) crossed the line second and Peter Stetina (BMC Racing Team) in third.
With teams of sprinters chasing him behind, Voigt's gap started to whittle away in the last 15K to the finish. The rest of the Trek Factory Racing Team was doing all they could on the front of the field to break up other team's attempts to organize a chase and help their leader to a stage win in the final race of his career, but unfortunately, at 5K to go, the gap had been cut to only 35 seconds. With the Cannondale Pro Cycling, Hincapie Sportswear Development Team and Optum p/b Kelly Benefit Strategies teams pushing the pace on the front of the chase, it would come down to the final stretch of the race to determine the stage winner.
In the end, Voigt's effort wouldn't be enough to pull out the win and he was caught with only 1K to go.
In a final sprint to the finish Viviani charged across the line to take first, followed by Martin Kohler (BMC Racing Team). Taking third in the stage for the second day in a row was Serghei Tvetcov (Jelly Belly p/b Maxxis).
Jacques-Maynes took over the Sierra Nevada King of the Mountains Jersey today. Voigt was awarded the FirstBank Most Aggressive Rider Jersey for his impressive solo breakaway. With the rest of the jerseys remaining unchanged, van Garderen kept the Smashburger Leader Jersey and the Colorado National Guard Best Colorado Rider Jersey. Kiel Reijnen (UnitedHealthcare Pro Cycling Team) held onto the Lexus Sprint Jersey as did Clement Chevrier (Bissell Development Team) to the Colorado State University Best Young Rider Jersey.

Background 4 Sep 2018
Lely launches on-farm dairy processing
Lely, producer of milking robots and farm equipment, launched an innovative system to process milk on the farm. This gives the farmer a greater role in the marketing and processing of milk.
The new automatic processor, called the Lely Orbiter, works 24/7 and has been designed with the highest food safety standards in mind. The system will get milk directly from 2-4 Lely Astronaut milking robots and has been especially designed to handle a low flow of milk. This enables the system to start processing the milk fast, directly after milking, by cooling it down to 4°C. The continuous automated operation ensures a large capacity.
Differentiate in the dairy market
The closed set-up of the system, coupled with the fact that there are very few processing steps and little time between milking and processing, guarantees both milk quality and food safety. The on-farm dairy processor is designed to be a future-proof solution for farmers to increase their milk income. They can increase the revenue of milk by adding more value to milk, having a short route to the consumer and the choice to market the milk themselves. The system allows farmers to differentiate in the dairy market and explore new opportunities. Higher revenues from milk also allows them to meet changing consumer demands and invest in a sustainable future for their farms. The data from the milking robot makes smart separation of the milk possible. The farmer can choose to select the milk from certain cow families, age groups or cows that have an above average protein content for example.

Producing with consumer in mind
With the Lely Orbiter, the farmer has total control to process milk from any selected group of cows. This allows the farmer to make choices about processing with the end product and consumer in mind. The reduced number of steps from the farm to the consumer create the freshness and purest taste of the product. The current system is a working concept and has been operational for the past 8 months on the Dobbelhoeve farm in Udenhout, the Netherlands. A farm where father and son Van Roessel milk 120 cows, organically produced. With the system, this farm is producing their own milk, named 'Mijn Melk' (Dutch for 'My Milk'). The farmer has selected specific cow families for this milk and is directly sold to a retailer (so not sold to consumers at the farm). The retail price of the 800 ml bottle of 'Mijn Melk' is € 1.69. The name of the cow and her family members, the date the cows are milked and when the milk is bottled are mentioned on the bottle, and according to the farmers this is essential in today's world where consumers want to know where their food comes from.
Lely going yellow
Dairy farmers are familiar with the Lely being red. But when Lely introduces innovations, the company does so via the 'Yellow Revolution'. Alexander van der Lely, CEO of Lely: "We introduced the milking robot 26 years ago. That was a true revolution. Since then, we have been continuing to innovate, always with the cow as a central point. Since 2005, we have been highlighting our innovations by making the first type of the machine yellow. Since 2005, we introduced 9 yellow revolutions and the Lely Orbiter is now the latest addition. With Orbiter we want to increase the role of the dairy farmer in the marketing and processing of milk". Van der Lely addresses that small scale processing on-farm makes it possible to make choices in the type of milk produced. "The first installation runs at the farm of Van Roessel and from there we will improve and further develop the installation. We also see potential outside the Netherlands, in other North West European countries, but also in the United States and China for example", he concludes.

A network of several media outlets cooperating in showing, analysing and explaining the impact of European policies on the institutions, norms and citizens of EU member states and beyond. We intend to do it through news contents, analyses and multimedia materials, published under a Creative Commons license.
This is what the European Data Journalism Network is about. A network of European media, coordinated by OBCT and VoxEurop, there to tell accurate and plural stories about Europe.


Famous for its Real Player media app, Real Networks switches from commercial media content to your own content, making it accessible anywhere with a brand new service.
An upcoming cloud service, Unifi aims to do what other storage services (such as Dropbox) do but with a reduced emphasis on the actual storage. Instead, each of your devices, from the desktop PC to a laptop, to a smartphone or tablet, or a web service like a Flickr account, gets a small app or widget installed.
This app creates a metatag (think smart shortcut icon) for each of your files and it is this snippet of information that is stored in the cloud. To access a file, you click on it from the destination device and it can be uploaded from the originating device to the cloud. Then, either view it directly from the cloud or download it to the device, to your Facebook account or elsewhere.
The current focus is on photos, music and movies but it could easily be expanded to cover documents and data for content migration. One question already answered, but not explained, is that you can play content purchased on an iPhone or other device on a different destination device, something that could be a big unique selling point.
Of course, if you want, you can store a bunch of files in the cloud, ready to go and Unifi offers 2GB of free storage, and plans to make money by offering upgrades to this. Currently in beta, Unifi is accepting invites for testing and is expected to launch soon.
You might also be asking what happens if the originating device is switched off. One solution is automatic uploading of images or music as you take them, but it'll take some practical experience to more directly answer that.
However, as Real Networks has decades of managing data pinging around the web and Unifi picked up a Best of CES award for software, services and applications, it should have plenty of pedigree. Among the devices mentioned as being supported are Android and iOS devices, so expect Unifi to make a bit of splash when it launches for real.

Another 67 words (5 lines of text) covering the years 1408, 1563, 1552, 1558, 1580, 1634, 1621, 1628, 1580, 1634, 1000, 1611, 1638, 1629, 1685, 1657, 1657, 1655, 1701, 1695, 1699, 1695, 1688, 1748, 1727, 1748 and 1728 are included under the topic Early Aykenson History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Aykenson Spelling Variations
In Medieval times, spelling and translation were not nearly so highly developed as today. They were generally carried out according to the sound and intuition of the bearer. For that reason spelling variations are extremely common among early Scottish names. Aykenson has been spelled Acheson, Acherson, Atcherson, Aitcheson, Aitchison, Atcheson, Achison and many more.

Another 183 words (13 lines of text) about their life in Ireland is included in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Aykenson family to the New World and Oceana
Unrest, poverty, and persecution caused thousands to look for opportunity and freedom in the North American colonies. The crossing was long, overcrowded, and unsanitary, though, and came only at great expense. Many Strathclyde families settled on the east coast of North America in communities that would form the backbone of what would become the great nations of the United States and Canada. The American War of Independence caused those who remained loyal to England to move north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. In the 20th century, Strathclyde and other Scottish families across North America began to recover their collective heritage through highland games and Clan societies. Among them: William Aitchison who settled in Colchester county, Nova Scotia in 1875; Andrew Aitchison who settled in Niagara, Lincoln county Ontario in 1852; Thomas Acheson who settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1798.

Asparagus signifies the start of spring, when the first green flavors of the season begin to come to life.
Chilled marinated asparagus is placed on a cream enriched asparagus flan. Chopped red onion, the yolk and white of a hard boiled egg, and the bright peppery crunch of daikon radish shoots top off this intriguingly fresh salad. Spicy pickled beets and the seaweed encased goat cheese adds a perfect balance to the vibrant asparagus vinaigrette and the tangy goat cheese dressing.


Farbod Barsum's popular Jackson Briefcase is now available in contemporary two-toned versions that pair sleek and glossy alligator skin (in navy or black) with supple ostrich leather (in anthracite gray). Sourced using sustainable harvesting and farming techniques, and dyed in chrome-free tanneries, the exotic leathers are of the utmost quality.
Each of the $40,000 bags is handmade in the United States and requires four to five days to complete. The hardware is hand-cast and polished, and the bags are finished using a couture, old-world technique called "the turned-edge detail," which splices the edges and turns them inward to create a self-contained clean line that will not chip or crack. A matching, detachable shoulder strap allows each briefcase to double as a travel/messenger bag. And inside, the bags are fully trimmed with gray ostrich leather.

The Observer view on Rwanda and Paul Kagame's lust for power
January 3, 2016 By Africa Horn Now
Observer editorial | Sunday 03 January 2016 | The Guardian
The president and his ilk are damaging Africa by hanging on to power
One of the least surprising New Year's announcements was that by Paul Kagame, president of Rwanda, who declared he had decided to seek a third term in 2017.
In a televised address notable for its condescension and wholly misplaced sense of noblesse oblige, Kagame suggested he was reluctantly bowing to popular pressure. "You requested me to lead the country again after 2017. Given the importance and consideration you attach to this, I can only accept. But I don't think that what we need is an eternal leader," he said.

Kagame has been president of Rwanda since 2000, although his time in charge dates back to the genocide of 1994, when his Rwandan Patriotic Front routed Hutu extremists trying to exterminate the Tutsi minority. Under changes agreed in a recent constitutional referendum, which gained an unhealthy 98% backing among those who voted, Kagame is entitled to stand for a further two terms after 2017, meaning he may still be in office in 2034. This dubious feat of political longevity is enough to make Vladimir Putin blush.
Kagame is correct in one respect: Rwanda does not need an eternal leader. Unfortunately, this is what it seems to have got. Kagame will win again in 2017, not because he is Africa's answer to Abraham Lincoln but because he has ensured there is no viable alternative. There is no effective opposition to his regime. Political rivals have been shunted aside, jailed, exiled or have died in violent circumstances. As we report today, honest public debate, let alone criticism, is not tolerated. Human rights abuses are legion. Independent journalism is a fiction. In these respects, too, the comparison with Putin's Russia holds true.
In the past, Kagame's Rwanda was held up as a model for other African states. His early successes in imposing stability on a country divided and gravely reduced by mass murder stood out in a region beset by internecine conflict. There have been significant economic and social advances, but as Kagame's authoritarianism has grown, enthusiasm for his rule has waned. EU aid donors expressed concern over the referendum and the US recently suggested Kagame would best serve his country by standing down in 2017. No matter. He is not budging. In his divisive and unstatesmanlike recalcitrance, Kagame reinforces a dangerous precedent. It is one being closely followed, with disastrous consequences, in next-door Burundi. There, Pierre Nkurunziza's vainglorious insistence on a third presidential term, despite a constitutional prohibition and significant public opposition, has resulted, predictably, in deepening turmoil. Since the crisis erupted in April, pro-regime death squads have killed hundreds, 220,000 people have fled their homes and fears have grown of a resumption of Burundi's 1993-2005 Tutsi-Hutu civil war that left 300,000 dead.
Aware of the danger, the African Union voted last month to send a 5,000-strong peacekeeping force. However, Nkurunziza warned that such a deployment would violate Burundian sovereignty and would be resisted by force. He has ignored pleas to engage fully in talks with his opponents and a reconciliation forum has been created in Kampala under the auspices of the East African Community. Concerned about a potential "regionalisation" of the conflict, the UN security council also weighed in last week. Perhaps this pressure will spark an outbreak of common sense in Bujumbura and produce a change of course before it is too late. Yet how much easier it would be to avoid this and similar conflagrations if established leaders set a better example. In Uganda, President Yoweri Museveni has held office for 30 years. He is expected to win yet another term in February. Yet every time he stands, turnout falls and still he does not take the hint. In Zimbabwe, Angola and elsewhere in sub-Saharan Africa, the same old story plays out. Once in power, self-important politicians experience enormous difficulty in letting go.
Such narrow-minded self-aggrandisement damages national wellbeing, inhibits African development and undermines faith in democracy among peoples desperate to escape the doleful legacies of tribal, colonial and dictatorial rule. In elections last week, voters in war-torn Central African Republic turned out, en masse, in an immensely brave, collective bid to break the old cycles of conflict, poverty and racial and religious bigotry. Their inspiring belief in a better, peaceful, democratic future must not be betrayed again by Africa's big-headed "Big Men".

Q: How to stop something from printing after its work is done? So, my task was to write a code for a pangram checker and then display the missing alphabets. This is what I have written so far:-
MAX_CHAR = 26

# Returns characters that needs
# to be added to make str
def ispanagram(Str):
    # A boolean array to store characters
    # present in string.
    present = [False for i in range(MAX_CHAR)]

    # Traverse string and mark characters
    # present in string.
    for i in range(len(Str)):
        if (Str[i] >= 'a' and Str[i] <= 'z'):
            present[ord(Str[i]) - ord('a')] = True
        elif (Str[i] >= 'A' and Str[i] <= 'Z'):
            present[ord(Str[i]) - ord('A')] = True

    # Store missing characters in alphabetic
    # order.
    res = ""

    for i in range(MAX_CHAR):
        if (present[i] == False):
            res += chr(i + ord('a')) + ", "

    return res

def main():
    Str = input()
    fg = ispanagram(Str)
    if not fg:
        print("Yes, the string is a pangram.")
    else:
        print("No, the string is NOT a pangram. Missing letter(s) is(are) " + str(fg))

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # Call the main function
    main()

Results:
inp = The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
Out = Yes, the string is a pangram.
inp = Hi, I am xyz
Out = No, the string is NOT a pangram. Missing letter(s) is(are) b, c, d, e, f, g, j, k, l, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w,

This code is working fine but an extra comma is being printed after the last alphabet is printed. How do I stop it?

A: You should use .join()

res=[chr(i + ord('a')) for i in range(MAX_CHAR) if present[i]==False]
return ', '.join(res)

A: Use a list and join 'em:
# Use a list
res = []

for i in range(MAX_CHAR):
    if (present[i] == False):
        res.append(chr(i + ord('a')))

# Join 'em
return ', '.join(res)

A: Solution - 1
Instead of concatenating to a string, you can use a list for res to store the characters.
Then to display them with commas, you can do - ', '.join(res). This will avoid printing that trailing comma.
res = []

    for i in range(MAX_CHAR):
        if (present[i] == False):
            res.append(chr(i + ord('a')))

    return ', '.join(res)

def main():
    Str = input()
    fg = ispanagram(Str)
    if not fg:
        print("Yes, the string is a pangram.")
    else:
        print("No, the string is NOT a pangram. Missing letter(s) is(are) " + fg)

Solution - 2
Use rstrip(', ') to strip off that trailing comma from res.
res = ""

    for i in range(MAX_CHAR):
        if (present[i] == False):
            res += chr(i + ord('a')) + ", "

    return res.rstrip(', ')

Q: Tomcat 7 + IntelliJ The absolute uri: http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core Issue I'm having really big problem with running webapp on tomcat 7 from IntelliJ (Ultimate) IDE. The problem is, that I can't get working taglibs for my jsp. Doesn't really matter what kind of taglib I'm trying to add, it's not working anyway. The JSP only have taglibs:

Yet it's not working anyway. What's most interesting, is that when I copy the exact war generated into ../webapps directory in Tomcat, and run manually, it works. Any clue why it's not working from IDE?

A: I used your POM to create a hello world webapp with the JSTL taglib being used on my hello.jsp page. Works fine. I can reproduce your issue by removing the jstl dependency in my POM and doing a clean build and deploy. So it seems as if the tag lib jars are in the classpath when you are running the webapp via IDEA. Since they are in your POM with a compile, they should be. Or more specifically, they should be in the artifact. Since you mention that you can copy the war to Tomcat and run it successfully, that leads me to believe that when are running your webapp via IDEA it is not using that artifact (i,e, the war file) for deployment. It is not uncommon when creating a tomcat run/debug configuration in IDEA to have it deploy the exploded war rather than the war file itself. That gives the advantage of being able to update resources on the fly.
Here are some things you can check:
Go into your tomcat run/debug configuration. On the Deployment tab, look at what artifact is being deployed. It should be either maven-module-name:war or maven-module-name:war exploded. If not, change it one of those. If it is, select it and click the edit icon. This will open the artifact definition in the Project Structure dialog. If it was the war file, it should show the archive definition as being a war of the exploded directory. Select (in the middle pane) the maven-module-name:war exploded artifact. Expand the WEB-INF/lib directory. Make sure the tag lib jars show in there. If not, you can try re-importing the maven project from the maven tool window to get things synchronized. You may have to run it 2 or 3 times. (I've experienced a case sometime where that is necessary). Once the artifact is corrected, you should be good to go.
If the artifact is fine, try doing a full manual clean of everything. It's possible IDEA thinks the jars are present when they are not. When you start tomcat, in the console output, you should see CATALINA_BASE set to a directory in IDEA's config directory. After toping IDEA, go and delete that directory. Then delete the ${CATALINA_HOME}/webapps directory (or at the very least your applications directory and any war files). Next delete the target (or out) directory to which IDEA is building. After that try starting up the tomcat instance through IDEA.
If the webapp cleaning does not work, try invalidating the caches File > Invalidate Caches, restarting IDEA, and letting it re-index the project. You may want to couple this one with a full clean of the webapp again.
If none of those things work, my best recommendation is to try creating fresh IDEA project by importing your pom file (File > Import Project and select the pom).
Oh, and just in case, make sure you are using the latest version of IDEA, 12.1.6 (or the latest your license is valid for). Sometimes its the simple things ;)

A: You must add javax.servlet.jstl library into the artifact of the project so that it will add the jstl library into the .war file. Hope this will help.

For Love of Trees
Reading On...
New Ways to Buy Books
A UP book recommendation
Looking back over this year in which my escape has been reading and listening to books in even greater numbers than usual, I notice that trees figure prominently as a topic and theme.
While it's true I did a deep research dive into fruit trees both in my master gardener training, and in researching my second novel, Hard Cider, the longer-standing truth is I've always loved trees…. Climbing them, standing and walking among them, learning about them, photographing them. Reading these books this year has deepened my sense of connection to these beloved giants of the plant kingdom, as well as my concern for their future on our planet.
The first two books are scientific and philosophic, The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate, and The Secret Wisdom of Nature: Trees, Animals, and the Extraordinary Balance of All Living Things; Stories from Science and Observation by Peter Wohlleben. With a last name that means "good life," this German forester turned author makes the science accessible and his concern for the environment palpable, all the while transmitting his own sense of wonder at the magic of trees.
Lab Girl- Hope Jahren's memoir of her own history as a botanist and as a friend to a treasured but wounded colleague, was a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Autobiography. Again, the reader is let into the secrets of plant life, the passion of the scientist, and the gifts of a writer as good at transmitting the pain and growth of a person as she is of her beloved plants.
Finally, for the novel lovers among us, Jon Cohen's Harry's Trees, is an interestingly plotted story about loss, grief, healing and renewal. As the title suggests, trees provide plot points, metaphors for the protective embrace of the natural world and a literal home for important characters in the book.
