Often referred to as "The Godfather of British Blues," John Mayall has an impressive musical career that spans over 50 years. The English blues singer, pianist, harmonica player, guitarist, and songwriter founded the band, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers in the 1960's—a band whose members included many celebrated blues and blues rock guitarists, such as: Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor, Walter Trout, Coco Montoya and Buddy Whittington.
Attracted by the West Coast climate and culture, Mayall then made his permanent move from England to Los Angeles in 1969 and began forming bands with American musicians. Throughout the next three decades, Mayall became further revered for his many jazz/rock/blues innovations featuring such notable performers as Blue Mitchell, Red Holloway, Larry Taylor, and Harvey Mandel. Mayall's popularity continued with a succession of dynamic albums including the Grammy-nominated "Wake Up Call" that featured guest artists Buddy Guy, Mavis Staples, Albert Collins and Mick Taylor.
In 2008 Mayall made the decision to permanently retire the Bluesbreakers name and in 2009 started a new era of touring with band members Rocky Athas on guitar, Jay Davenport on drums and Greg Rzab on bass. They toured together for over seven years, averaging about 100 shows a year, and are featured players on four of John's studio albums.
John also released in 2015 and 2016 a couple of never before heard live albums from 1967 featuring Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, which have been enthusiastically received by critics and fans alike.
In August 2016 there was another big shift when thunderstorms prevented Rocky Athas from attending a festival, compelling John, Greg and Jay to perform as a trio. The sound they came up with lent an amazing new slant to John's music and he made the bold decision to move to the trio format. They toured the USA, India and Europe in this format, and had enthusiastic responses from audiences everywhere. A sample of the fireworks they create onstage was released in February 2018 entitled "Three For the Road." Recorded in Germany in 2016, this live CD has been very well received, garnering excellent reviews!
John Mayall - The Final Shows
John Mayall
On February 22nd Forty Below Records will release Nobody Told Me, the new studio album from The Godfather of British Blues, John Mayall.
As with his last handful of albums, Mayall again shares production duties with Forty Below Founder Eric Corne who also handles engineering and mixing duties.
The album boasts an impressive and diverse list of guest guitarists, all personal favorites of Mayall's including Todd Rundgren, Little Steven Van Zandt of The E Street Band, Alex Lifeson from Rush, Joe Bonamassa, Larry McCray and Carolyn Wonderland who will be joining the band on tour. Also, on hand are Mayall's dynamic Chicago rhythm section of Greg Rzab on bass guitar and Jay Davenport on drums, along with Billy Watts (Lucinda Williams) on rhythm guitar and Mayall's regular horn section, moonlighting from their day job in The Late Show with Conan O'Brien's house band.
The album was recorded at The Foo Fighters' Studio 606on the same legendary Sound City Neve console his one-time protégés from Fleetwood Mac used to record parts of the best-selling Rumorsalbum.
"This project has been a true labor of love for me and I can't wait for people to hear the fireworks that took place," beams Mayall. Nobody Told Meis an apt title for the blues icon who suffered a recent unexpected health scare shortly after recording the album. But, the seemingly ageless road dog, who famously takes no days off and carries his own gear on tour, has been given a clean bill of health and plans to return to his usual grueling touring schedule to support the release.
Mayall's last release, 2018's Three for the Road, features cuts drawn from two exuberant concerts recorded live in Germany in 2017. "Sounding like a man half his age, Three for the Road is a heady cocktail of originals and 'favorites'." - GoldmineMagazine. The title is a nod to the trio format featured on Mayall's 2017 world tour, which includes long time bassist Greg Rzab and drummer Jay Davenport.
In 2016 Mayall released Talk About That,which featured Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Joe Walsh on two tracks. People Magazinecalled the album "A master class in Blues" and American Songwriterpraised it as "A brand new masterpiece from a man who has made masterpieces for decades."
For Joe Walsh, playing on a session with one of his musical heroes also held a special place. "It has been a bucket-list item since 1970 to play with John Mayall," he states. "John had a run of GREAT British guitarists (one after another) with his 'Bluesbreakers' albums, and that's how many of us in the States became aware of them. Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor - I studied them all for hours and became a much better guitarist as a result. The albums were legendary stuff and I have wanted to work with John for years and years, wondering what it would be like."
The release of Talk About That came on the heels of Mayall's internationally-acclaimed, Find A Way To Care in 2015.
"Listeners who value a diverse, lyrical taste and a heavy dollop of classic blues music" enjoyed Find a Way to Care, an album that "fulfilled on every level." (Blues Rock Review), and A Special Life released in 2014. "I'd easily put this one among Mayall's best efforts - and that includes 'Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton,' 'A Hard Road' and 'Blues from Laurel Canyon!" (about.com)
John Mayall was born on the 29th of November 1933 and grew up in a village not too far from Manchester, England. It was here as a teenager that he first became attracted to the jazz and blues 78s in his father's record collection. Initially it was all about guitarists such as Big Bill Broonzy, Brownie McGhee, Josh White and Leadbelly. However once he heard the sounds of boogie woogie piano giants Albert Ammons, Pete Johnson and Meade Lux Lewis, his desire to play in that style was all he could think of. At the age of 14, when he went to Manchester's Junior School of Art, he had access to a piano for the first time and he began to learn the basics of this exciting music. He also found time to continue learning the guitar and, a couple of years later, the harmonica, inspired by Sonny Terry, Sonny Boy Williamson and Little Walter.
After his two years at art school, he joined the art department of a major department store while starting to build up his own record collection that was to be his source of inspiration. At age eighteen, when he was due for National Service, he spent three years in the Royal Engineers as an office clerk in the south of England and in Korea all the time playing whenever he got a chance. As no one seemed to be interested in this type of music, John felt pretty much of an outsider throughout his twenties up until 1962 when the news broke in the British music magazine Melody Maker that Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies had opened a club in Ealing devoted to blues music. After Britain's ten year traditional jazz boom had about run its course, a new generation was ready for something new. Out came the amplifiers, guitars and harmonicas and out came young enthusiasts from all over the country eager to form their own groups.
This was all the encouragement thirty-year old John needed and, giving up his graphic design job, he moved from Manchester to London and began putting musicians together under the banner of the Bluesbreakers. Although things were rough at first, the music quickly took off thanks to the popularity of the Rolling Stones, Georgie Fame, Manfred Mann, The Animals and Spencer Davis with a young Steve Winwood. John also backed blues greats, John Lee Hooker, T-Bone Walker, Eddie Boyd and Sonny Boy Williamson on their first English club tours.
After a couple of years and many personnel changes, Eric Clapton quit the Yardbirds and John quickly offered him the job as his new guitarist. Although John had previously released a couple of singles and a live LP for Decca, the now classic collaboration between Eric and John resulted in the all-time best-selling classic album, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. However, by the time it was entering the charts, Clapton and bassist Jack Bruce had left to form Cream. So began a succession of future stars who would define their roots under John's leadership before leaving to form their own groups. Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood became Fleetwood Mac. Andy Fraser formed Free, and Mick Taylor joined the Rolling Stones.
A leaner four-piece line-up gave John more room to stretch out as an instrumentalist and the band's chemistry hit new heights. For the next seven years, John and the band continued to tour extensively throughout the world, and racked up their usual target of over a hundred shows per year. In 2010 a concert in London was filmed, and Live in Londonwas released as a double CD and DVD through Private Stash.
After being invited to do a guest spot on Walter Trout's The Blues Came Calling album, John re-connected with engineer/producer Eric Corne and was impressed enough that he asked him to record his next album A Special Life.The album was released on Corne's Forty Below Recordsin 2014 to rave reviews, followed by an extensive tour of North America, Europe, and The UK to celebrate John's 80th birthday. Their next collaboration Find A Wayto Carewas released in 2015, along with the first of two historical Bluesbreakers albums, Live in 1967, with Volume Twofollowing closely behind in 2016.
Talk About That was recorded in early 2016, and the latter part of the year brought yet another change in the evolving Mayall history when serious Texas thunderstorms prevented Rocky Athas from making a festival date and Mayall, Rzab and Davenport were compelled to perform as a trio. As fate would have it, the sound they came up with lent an amazing new slant to John's music and subsequently led him to explore the possibilities of making music as a trio.
Luckily this exciting new direction was captured during a tour of Europe in 2017 resulting in the critically acclaimed live recording Three for the Road that showcases John's skills more than ever before on organ, piano and harmonica. In addition to original compositions, there are several songs written by some of John's blues heroes that showcase the exciting interplay between John, Greg and Jay in live performance.
Meanwhile as we roll into 2018, John is now embarking on yet another new direction. Noted Texas blues guitarist Carolyn Wonderland will be joining the band for a dynamic new chapter in John's ongoing adventures. She will also have the distinction of being the first female guitarist to hold that position so watch out for some fresh excitement as the year progresses.
In addition to the live touring there is also a new studio album in the works which features a full blown lineup with guest contributions from an impressive list of extraordinary, well-known guitarists. We'll have more information on that release soon.
So with the usual full calendar of live shows booked from coast to coast and all over the world, John Mayall's prodigious musical saga continues, as vital as it has ever been.

Equally at home on the wing or at fullback, Tom Williams is an England Sevens international and was part of the side that claimed the prestigious Hong Kong crown in 2004.
He hit the headlines in July 2009 when he was banned for a year after being found guilty of faking an injury to allow team mate Nick Evans to return to the field in the closing minutes of Harlequins' Heineken Cup quarter-final defeat by Leinster the previous April.
TV footage showed him putting something into the top of his sock - understood to be a capsule of fake blood - before later taking it out and putting it into his mouth. He was then seen to wink as he left the pitch while seemingly bleeding profusely from the mouth.
His ban was reduced to four months on appeal, although his coach at the time, former England international Dean Richards, was banned for three years. Williams made a low-key return in November 2009 in Quins' Premiership defeat to Northampton during which Williams spilled the red stuff for real when he broke his nose.

Italian Muslim Brotherhood Leader Draws Criticism Over Support For Legalizing Polygamy
By gmbwatch on	 August 15, 2016 Daily
The leader of an Islamic umbrella group in Italy has drawn criticism over his Facebook comments in support of legalizing polygamy. According to a Google translated Austrian media report:
August 8, 2016 The Union of Islamic Communities and Organisations in Italy (UCOII) is known for controversial positions. Now, its founder, Hamza Piccardo, provided with a radical demand for an outcry: Italy should legalize polygamy, he wrote at the weekend on his Facebook page.
Background is a controversial new law in Italy – as the last Western European country – allowed same-sex unions. It entered into force in late July. At the weekend the first homosexual couples have then sealed their partnership. In the city of Turin two seniors aged 82 and 79 years were married about the first homosexual couple who had been waiting for this moment for more than 50 years.
'When it comes to civil rights here, then polygamy is a civil right. Muslims do not agree with homosexual partnerships, and yet they have to accept a system that allows 'Piccardo wrote in response to the partnering events. There was no reason why Italy plural marriages of persons who are agree should not accept.
The demand met with outrage. 'Centuries of fighting for women's rights can not simply be brushed aside,' said about Debora Serracchiani, deputy chairman of the Democratic Party (PD) of Premier Matteo Renzi and President of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. 'Polygamy has nothing to do with civil rights.'
The xenophobic Lega Nord vehemently protested. 'This is the moderate Islam, with which the Italian government intends to keep the dialogue open,' said polemically the Northern League MEP Paolo Grimoldi.
Already in 2007, had made a similar attempt by a representative of UCOII for excitement. At that time also more moderate Islamic organizations had opposed the legalization of polygamy. (APA / red.)
( 'Die Presse', print edition, 08.08.2016)"
The Unione delle Comunità Islamic d'Italia (UCOII) is thought to be the largest Islamic umbrella group in Italy and dominated by groups tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Runners Blank The Lopes 4-0
November 20, 2013 nahl
Six long weeks away and your Topeka RoadRunners were finally back at Landon Arena Thursday night. It's good to be home. Two goals in each of the first two periods and a stellar performance by PJ Bridges combined to clip the Jackalopes 4-0 in the first game of this three game series.
After an initial flurry around the Odessa net that saw pucks go just wide, Mike Gornall broke through with the eventual game-winner at 10:45 (assisted by Jasen Fernsler and Sly Sutter). Andrew Roye added another less than five minutes later (assisted by Clint Garris and Cody Champagne at 15:30) to give the Runners a 2-0 lead heading into the second.
Sutter found the net unassisted at 4:56 of the second to make it 3-0. At 10:50, shorthanded after a Garris minor, Jake Kamrass stole the puck in the offensive zone (assisted by Jerad Tafoya) and delivered it to the top shelf to seal the deal at 4-0 before the third period could even begin. Great play by the defense did the rest and, when the puck found its way through, PJ Bridges was more than equal to the task. Stopping all 16 shots on net, Bridges earned his second shutout of the season and the team's third.
It all happens again Friday night with the start of Shriners Weekend at Landon Arena. The Runners will be wearing special Shriners jerseys both Friday and Saturday night that will be auctioned off after Saturday's game with a portion of the proceeds going to benefit the Topeka Arab Shrine. For more information on tickets, call 785-286-PUCK or visit www.TopekaRoadRunners.com.

Trump names cancer scientist as interim FDA head

The Health and Human Services Department said Tuesday that Ned Sharpless, the director of the National Cancer Institute, will be acting commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration. Sharpless' background is in science — he's written more than 150 original papers and holds 10 patents, according to his official biography.
Why it matters: The FDA regulates about 25 cents of every dollar spent in the U.S., between food, cosmetics and prescription drugs. Sharpless will be stepping into the agency as it navigates a fresh controversy — outgoing Commissioner Scott Gottlieb's ambitious plan for regulating electronic cigarettes.

AAI Mourns the Loss of Miriam Zayed
The Arab American Institute mourns the loss of Arab American community leader Miriam Zayed, who passed away last night, October 23. News of Miriam's passing is devastating to all who knew, worked with, and cared for her. For the more than 30 years that we worked with Miriam, we marveled at her selfless dedication to her family and her community.
AAI President James Zogby said: "Miriam wanted us to be unified, strong, and successful. She never complained that the challenges we faced were too great and never spoke an unkind word about anyone. She worked to elevate the community, never seeking the limelight for herself. The New Testament reminds us 'that those who would lead, must first serve.' This defines Miriam's commitment to service that made her our irreplaceable leader. Her passing leaves a hurt that won't be healed and a hole that can't be filled. All we can do is try to honor her life by following her example."
The AAI team offers its deepest sympathies and condolences to Miriam's family, as well as Chicago's Arab American community for whom Miriam was a warm and guiding presence.

Frederick Arthur Bridgman, född 10 november 1847 i Tuskegee i Alabama, död 13 januari 1928, var en amerikansk konstnär.

Bridgman arbetade under perioden 1864-1865 i New York som tecknare på American Bank Note Company, och studerade samtidigt konst vid Brooklyn Art School och National Academy of Design. År 1866 bosatte han sig i Frankrike, och blev lärjunge till Jean-Leon Gerome. Han bosatte sig permanent i Paris, där han uppmärksammandes för sina bilder från Bretagne och Normandie. Efter en resa till Egypten 1873–1874 kom han främst att ägna sig åt att måla orientaliska landskap. Bridgman tilldelades hederslegionen, och valdes även år 1881 in i National Academy.

Montreal Equivalents Of Your Favourite TV Show Hangout Spots
#3 Monk's Café from Seinfeld = Beautys Luncheonette.
Is there any better feeling than having a reliable, great place to chill at? Well, maybe. But not according to T.V. It's no secret that television hangout spots are awesome, and if you've ever roamed the streets of Montreal looking for a real life version of Central Perk, or wondering where you can drink your troubles away MacLaren's style, you can stop. Your search is over. Here's a list of the coolest T.V. hangout spots in Montreal!
1. Central Perk from Friends = Café Névé
151 Rachel East
When you think of awesome fictional hangouts, what's one of the first things to come to mind? Central Perk. Friendly, fun, warm and familiar - Central Perk is probably the apex of T.V. hangouts. Montreal's Cafe Neve hits the friendly, fun, warm and familiar vibe of Central Perk spot-on. Don't be surprised if you find yourself coming here every day - and unintentionally running into a few of your friends while you're at it. The only difference between Central Perk and Cafe Neve? The iconic sofa. Oh, and Phoebe Buffay's acoustic rendition of "Smelly Cat."
2. MacLaren's from How I Met Your Mother = McKibbin's Irish Pub
MacLaren's is the cozy Irish pub that the gang from How I Met Your Mother hits up on a daily basis, which is basically defined by its comfortable atmosphere, great staff, and convenient location. If this sounds familiar, it's because I also literally just described Montreal's own McKibbin's Irish Pub. Sounds great, doesn't it? Don't be afraid to pull a classic Shmosby and admit your love for McKibbin's. It's a place of beauty.
3. Monk's Café from Seinfeld = Beautys Luncheonette
93 Avenue du Mont-Royal West
Tell me you don't hear the Seinfeld bass line every single time you walk into Beautys. Everything - from the string of regular customers, to the blue benches, to the friendly, classic feel - is a dead ringer for the iconic restaurant synonymous with the popular '90s sitcom. An added bonus: they serve egg white omelettes. And although they don't have a 'big salad' on their menu, their regular salads are pretty legit.
Photo cred -
That '70s Show (Official) / 3643 St-Laurent Apt. 200
4. Foreman's basement from That '70s Show = Apt. 200
3643 Boul. St-Laurent
This is literally a match made in Heaven. It's pretty obvious that everything about Apt. 200 screams vintage basement - classic arcade games anyone? - but what really makes the bar a legit contender with the Foreman's basement is its vibe. Chill, sometimes crowded, and always the go-to spot for a guaranteed great time. Just don't try to sit in a circle and get high. That'll get you into much more trouble than Red Foreman calling you a dumbass.
5. Karen's Café from One Tree Hill = Le Vieux Velo
59 Beaubien East
In the famous CW drama, One Tree Hill, Karen's Cafe is a popular family-run spot to chill for all the main characters. Similarly, Le Vieux Velo is a great spot for Montrealers to chill, giving off that similar, unpretentious-yet-widely-popular vibe.
6. Paddy's from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia = Mad Hatter's Pub
1208 Crescent
I know what you're thinking. Paddy's from It's Always Sunny has a notoriously bad reputation - relying on cheap gimmicks to bring in clientele. Meanwhile, Mad Hatter's is very possibly one of the most awesome pubs in Montreal, no gimmicks needed. Paddy's is a cornerstone of the show, just like Mad Hatter's is a cornerstone of Crescent Street. And what else is Paddy's/Sunny synonymous with? Shenanigans, my friends. Take one look at Mad Hatter's and tell me that there aren't some seriously fun shenanigans that go on down there.
7. Bob's Burgers from Bob's Burgers = Les Belles Soeurs
2251 Marie-Anne East
Cute burger joint? Check. Locally-owned? Check. Chalkboard announcing the day's special hamburger? Check. Of course I'm talking about Les Belles Soeurs, but I could have just as easily been describing the titular restaurant on Bob's Burgers. The similarities between fictional Bob's Burgers and Montreal's Les Belles Soeurs don't just end there though. On the show, main character Bob has been referred to as a 'meat artist', and I'm sure after one trip to Les Belles Soeurs you'll be saying the same thing about their chefs. Alriiiighttt.
Photo cred - Pub St-Paul / bluecaptions
8. Moe's Tavern from The Simpsons = Pub St-Paul
124 Saint Paul East
Much like Moe's, Pub St-Paul is friendly, unpretentious, and a classic place to grab a few beers. However, unlike Moe's, St-Paul is totally unskeevy, always fun, and located in one of the nicest parts of town. Win-win? Win-win.
9. Luke's Diner from Gilmore Girls = Cosmos Snack Bar
5843 Sherbrooke West
The main thing about Luke's Diner is that it's an 'institution'. It has a family vibe to it, and is super popular in its small town. And what Montreal diner is more of an institution than Cosmos? Although it's small, it's pretty much an irreplaceable part of Montreal. If you've ever eaten there, then you know you can't get more of a comfortable atmosphere in an eatery.
10. Clyde's Bar from New Girl = Les Incorruptibles
1432 Fleury East
Although Les Incorruptibles is definitely trendier than Clyde's Bar, where all of our favourite characters from New Girl hang out, it does hit some most of the essential points. Specifically, a vintage decor, a fun atmosphere, and a warm, friendly vibe.


This condominium of the "Caches of la Grande Pointe" of ± 972 square feet, is located less than 100 metres from the chair lift of the great tip and the base of the mountain Chalet. All condominium units are Ski-in/Ski-out, and some units have spectacular views of the mountain or river. Reasons are good to stay in the mountains of the Massif in Charlevoix.

Q: Nonlinear model fit gaussian precision I wanted to fit double gaussian but it doesn't work, it doesn't fit gaussian. The error I get:

Data:data  Here is code
peaks = {{398, 0.511}, {495, 0.662}, {819, 1.173}, {921, 1.332}}

lm = LinearModelFit[peaks, x, x]

co60pl1 =
  Import[
   "/Users/co60_pl1_1200s.lst", "Table"];

nlmcopl1 =
 NonlinearModelFit[
  Select[{lm[First[#]], Last[#]} & /@ co60pl1, 1 <= #[[1]] <= 1.5 &],
  a3*E^(-((x - 1.173)^2/(2*b3^2))) + b3*x + c3 +
   a4*E^(-((x - 1.332)^2/(2*b4^2))), {a3, b3, c3, a4, b4}, x,
  MaxIterations -> 1000]

A: I see a couple of problems. The means that you are using, 1.173 and 1.332 are reasonable guesses, but I suggest letting NonlinearModelFit find those parameters. A big mistake is using the same parameter, b3, for the variance of the first Gaussian and the slope of the line. Another problem is that NonlinearModelFit is going to need some reasonable starting parameters for the model.
Here is a plot of your data.
co60pl1 = Import["co60_pl1_1200s.lst", "Table"];

ListPlot[co60pl1, PlotStyle -> Black]

Now you use peaks to shift the x axis.
peaks = {{398, 0.511}, {495, 0.662}, {819, 1.173}, {921, 1.332}}

lm = LinearModelFit[peaks, x, x]

This enables us to create a new set of data with the x-axis shifted. I'll call it shiftedData.
shiftedData = {lm[First[#]], Last[#]} & /@ co60pl1;

Next step is to limit it to where x is between 1 and 1.5. For reason's I will explain later, I also created data limited between 1.07 and 1.5.
shiftedData1 = Select[shiftedData, 1 <= #[[1]] <= 1.5 &];
shiftedData2 = Select[shiftedData, 1.07 <= #[[1]] <= 1.5 &];

Below is a plot of these three data sets. Note that shiftedData is identical to co60pl12 except with the x-axis shifted.
Show[
 ListPlot[shiftedData, PlotStyle -> Black],
 ListPlot[shiftedData1, PlotStyle -> Red],
 ListPlot[shiftedData2, PlotStyle -> Blue]
 ]

Initially I am going to use shiftedData2 and try to fit two Gaussians to it ignoring the linear portion.
I use Manipulate to get parameter values that are in the ball park.
Manipulate[
 Show[
  ListPlot[shiftedData2, PlotStyle -> Blue],
  Plot[a1*Exp[-(x - μ1)^2/(2*σ1^2)] +
       a2*Exp[-(x - μ2)^2/(2*σ2^2)],
   {x, 1, 1.5}, PlotStyle -> Black]
  ],
 {{a1, 220}, 100, 300},
 {{μ1, 1.14}, 1.1, 1.3},
 {{σ1, 0.05}, 0.02, 0.2},
 {{a2, 160}, 100, 300},
 {{μ2, 1.3}, 1.2, 1.4},
 {{σ2, 0.04}, 0.02, 0.2}
 ]

Now refine the parameters by using NonlinearModelFit and supply the Manipulate parameters as starting values.
nlm2 = NonlinearModelFit[
  shiftedData2,
  a1*Exp[-(x - μ1)^2/(2*σ1^2)] +
  a2*Exp[-(x - μ2)^2/(2*σ2^2)],
  {
   {a1, 220},
   {μ1, 1.14},
   {σ1, 0.05},
   {a2, 160},
   {μ2, 1.3},
   {σ2, 0.04}
   },

  ]

nlm2["BestFitParameters"]
(* {a1 -> 214.277, μ1 -> 1.13994, σ1 -> 0.0532518,
    a2 -> 155.572, μ2 -> 1.29863, σ2 -> 0.037658} *)

Next use the shiftedData1 and the parameters from nlm2 and guess the slope and intercept for the line using Manipulate.
Manipulate[
 Show[
  ListPlot[shiftedData1, PlotStyle -> Red],
  Plot[m x + b + a1*Exp[-(x - μ1)^2/(2*σ1^2)] +
    a2*Exp[-(x - μ2)^2/(2*σ2^2)],
   {x, 1, 1.5}, PlotStyle -> Black]
  ],
 {{m, -260}, -2000, 0},
 {{b, 330}, 0, 2000},
 {{a1, 214}, 100, 300},
 {{μ1, 1.14}, 1.1, 1.3},
 {{σ1, 0.053}, 0.02, 0.2},
 {{a2, 155}, 100, 300},
 {{μ2, 1.3}, 1.2, 1.4},
 {{σ2, 0.038}, 0.02, 0.2}
 ]

Final refinement is to fit the linear and Gaussian using NonlinearModelFit and supplying it with reasonable starting values.
nlm1 = NonlinearModelFit[
  shiftedData1,
  m x + b + a1*Exp[-(x - μ1)^2/(2*σ1^2)] +
   a2*Exp[-(x - μ2)^2/(2*σ2^2)],
  {
   {m, -260},
   {b, 330},
   {a1, 214},
   {μ1, 1.14},
   {σ1, 0.053},
   {a2, 160},
   {μ2, 1.3},
   {σ2, 0.038}
   },
  x

nlm1["BestFitParameters"]
(* {m -> -260.749, b -> 379.83,

    a2 -> 118.309, μ2 -> 1.29887, σ2 -> 0.0319747} *)

A plot of the shiftedData1 and the model shows a reasonable fit (the line from NonlinearModelFit is superimposed in Gray).

Background: Adenosine deaminase also known as adenosine aminohydrolase involved in purine metabolism. Its primary function is development and maintenance of immune system. The main objective of the study was to estimate adenosine deaminase (ADA) enzyme and find its correlation with lipoprotein(a) and insulin resistance among smokers and healthy non-smokers.
Methods: Fifty smokers and fifty healthy non-smokers were selected based on WHO definition. ADA, lipid profile and glucose was estimated on a fully automated analyser by IFCC approved methods and lipoprotein(a) was done by latex enhanced immune-turbidimetric assay method respectively.
Results: After appropriate screening ADA activity and insulin was significantly elevated among smokers when compared with healthy non-smokers. A positive correlation was found between pack size of cigarette and ADA activity and also with Lp(a) respectively. In addition, there was no correlation between serum lipid profile and ADA activity.
Conclusions: Adenosine deaminase activity was increased in patients in response to nicotine which is the key component of cigarette smoke. These findings indicate that nicotine and carbon monoxide can alter lipoprotein synthesis and also modify LDL to oxidized form which can lead to ischemic heart disease.

Mayor De Blasio Announces Street Paintings to Commemorate The Black Lives Matter Movement
By New Yorkled
Street paintings and co-namings will take place in all five boroughs

NEW YORK—Mayor de Blasio announced the City will begin street co-namings and street paintings in all five boroughs to commemorate the Black Lives Matter movement. The Administration will work with the City Council to advance legislation to co-name one street in each borough "Black Lives Matter", and will work with community activists to paint each street.
"The streets of our city will now affirm the vital work activists have done to bring us forward," said Mayor Bill de Blasio. "With a street in every borough painted with the words Black Lives Matter, we are recognizing where we have been and looking forward to where we will go."
The project will begin in Manhattan near City Hall. The other four locations will be determined in conjunction with the City Council.
"Renaming and repainting a street is a modest testament to the massive challenge ahead of us," said Manhattan Borough President Gale A. Brewer. "But in so doing we will, literally, set down a marker for our current goals and mark this era for future generations. I'm a history buff; as New Yorkers and visitors walk downtown past some of America's most historic landmarks, 'Black Lives Matter Way' will add to that history."
"I thank the Mayor for taking this action. We need to continue to take down monuments of racism and replace them with unequivocal affirmations of racial justice and commitment to fighting for reforms that value and protect Black lives. Located in the heart of New York City's Civic Center, this sign is a permanent reminder for elected officials, workers, visitors, and residents that this is more than just a rallying call, it's a movement that requires our continued solidarity and full support," said Council Member Chin.

A Normal Tourist Visit-- The 1/6ers
Yesterday, testifying before the Senate Appropriations Committee, Attorney General Merrick Garland told senators that the greatest domestic threat facing the country comes from what he both called "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists... Specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race... I have not seen a more dangerous threat to democracy than the invasion of the Capitol an attempt to interfere with the fundamental element of our democracy, a peaceful transfer of power."
Andrew Clyde represents the only district in Georgia even more politically backward than Marjorie Taylor Greene's with which is shares a border, as well as primitive Pickens County (Trump- 82.2%). Last year Greene's district gave Trump 73.4% of its vote; Clyde's outdid that: 76.4%! The morons who live in the two districts were all in on their new fringe loon candidates. Greene wound up with 74.6% of the vote and Clyde trumped that with 78.6%. Unlike Greene, though, Clyde has been mostly invisible-- until yesterday, when he shot off his mouth and made national headlines with his idiotic remarks about how the violent insurrection and failed Trump coup attempt was somehow akin to a normal tourist visit to the Capitol. This morning, Pelosi, came close to asking him to seek psychiatric care.
On Tuesday, Joshua Kaplan and Joaquin Sapien wrote a report about a jailhouse letter from one of Clyde's "normal tourists." The letter was written by a 48 year old racist, a member of one of the worst of the violent right wing groups recruited by Trump, the Three Percenters, Guy Reffitt of Wylie, Texas, a Dallas suburb, whose son warned the FBI about his crackpot father before the insurrection. He says that "he and fellow inmates have bonded in jail, and boasted that those attacking the building could have overthrown the government if they had wanted."
Congressman Andrew Clyde and tourist Guy Reffitt-- same, same
The letter is signed "the 1/6ers" and expresses no remorse for the assault on the Capitol, in which five people died. While no names appeared on it, ProPublica was able to determine, through interviews with his family and a review of his correspondence from jail, that it was penned by Guy Reffitt, a member of the Three Percenter right-wing militant group accused of participating in the riot. The letter said the inmates arrested for their role in the attack regularly recite the Pledge of Allegiance inside the Washington, D.C. jail and sing the national anthem "all in unison, loud and proud most everyday."
"January 6th was nothing short of a satirical way to overthrow a government," said the letter, written by hand on yellow lined paper. "If overthrow was the quest, it would have no doubt been overthrown."
The letter sent to ProPublica is believed to be one of the first public statements from a Jan. 6 rioter currently in detention. ProPublica also obtained text messages with Reffitt's family and was able to ask a few questions of him via text from the D.C. Jail, with his wife, Nicole Reffitt, acting as a relay. Guy Reffitt declined to participate in a fuller interview on the advice of his lawyer, his wife said.
Reffitt faces a variety of charges, including obstructing an official proceeding, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years. He is awaiting trial and has pleaded not guilty. In text messages he sent last month to his wife, Reffitt said he was resigning from the Texas Three Percenters.
Last week, Reffitt told ProPublica via his wife that more than 30 people arrested in connection with the Jan. 6 attack had discussed the letter while in custody. He said that the "1/6ers" are "not organized" and that there are "no leaders," just "people chatting about things" because they are "stuck here together."
Reffitt said that the suspects communicate with one another with what are known as "kites," jailhouse slang for messages passed from cell to cell. They are also able to socialize during the two hours a day they're let out of their cells. The Department of Justice declined to comment.
Those detained in connection with the Capitol siege have been treated by D.C. officials as "maximum security" prisoners and kept in restrictive housing, according to media reports. Three defendants that Nicole Reffitt said she understood to be parties to the letter denied any knowledge of it when contacted by ProPublica. One of them said he became friends with Guy Reffitt inside the D.C. Jail, but had been moved to another unit by the time the letter was penned.
Nicole Reffitt said she helped her husband write the letter and solicit support through phone calls and a jailhouse messaging app inmates are allowed to use periodically to communicate with the outside world. The D.C. Jail has held dozens of defendants in connection with the riot, on charges ranging from obstructing an official proceeding to assaulting a police officer with a dangerous weapon.
The letter counters the notion that there was a "plan" or "conspiracy" to take down Congress on Jan. 6, blaming much of the violence on "isolated overly emotional individuals." It suggests that their actions were meant to put the country on notice: "The people clearly are not happy," Guy Reffitt said in response to questions sent through his wife.
"Ask the Capitol Police for [their] opinion of how it could have been," the letter says. "They are grateful it wasn't a real insurrection complete with mind, body and soul."
...Reffitt saw his actions on Jan. 6 as a critical step in protecting his wife and kids from what he viewed as a decades-long American slide toward "tyranny," according to his text messages.
"We watch the people of other countries rise up against authoritarianism and think, how sad they must be to want freedom and liberty so much," the letter said. "Here, the more you try to divide, bend or even break America. The more The Republic of The People will stand indivisible and resolute."
Reffitt's son covertly recorded conversations with his father that have shown up in court filings as evidence that Reffitt came to the Capitol armed and with violent intentions.
"You'll find out that I had every constitutional right to carry a weapon and take over the Congress, as we tried to do," he said in one recording, according to a transcript in court files. Jackson Reffitt, 18, has since moved out of the family home and is raising money to support himself and his schooling.
In another excerpt in court files, Guy Reffitt was blunt: "I did bring a weapon on property that we own. Federal grounds or not. The law is written, but it doesn't mean it's right law. The people that were around me were all carrying too."
In their most recent filing, prosecutors added new evidence to their case against Guy Reffitt. They obtained a recording of a Jan. 10 Zoom meeting involving Reffitt and two other Three Percenters. In it, Reffitt allegedly said he helped lead the charge on the Capitol with a .40-caliber pistol at his side, at one point telling a U.S. Capitol Police officer who was firing nonlethal rounds at him, "Sorry, darling. You better get a bigger damn gun."
Reffitt went on to describe how the group might be able to disable a social media company's servers by using a sniper rifle to disable the generators at a nearby Texas facility. According to court records, he said attacking the servers would "make them feel it back" in Washington, D.C. He added: "Then they won't know we're coming next time."
...Peter Simi, an associate professor at Chapman University in Southern California, found the language in the letter more alarming, especially in how it characterizes the Jan. 6 riot as inevitable.
"I would interpret it as a threat. You can say it's thinly veiled, but I don't think it's that thinly veiled," Simi said. "This is the preamble-- what you saw on the 6th. More is coming ... If you thought the 6th was bad, just wait and see."
As Reffitt struggled to find work in the spring of 2020, he spent hours watching Fox News and getting angry over the Black Lives Matter protests, his family said. His teenage children supported the movement; Reffitt viewed it as "bullshit," according to his texts. One argument with his son ended with Reffitt throwing a coffee mug across the room. About a week later, Jackson Reffitt went to march in a BLM rally in Wylie. His father went armed, the family said, standing guard outside the suburb's Olde City Park.
Around that time, Guy Reffitt was introduced to the Three Percenters, a decentralized anti-government movement. The group, which takes its name from the myth that only three percent of the population fought the British in the American Revolution, is credited with popularizing the militia movement by framing it in more palatable, patriotic terms.
Nicole Reffitt recalled a "meet and greet" in June, with about 20 members coming to the Reffitt home for a barbecue.
After some awkward small talk, the conversation turned to "what everyone could do," she said. Who had military experience? Who had a license to carry? Who knew how to stop a bleed? Someone took notes to be sent up the chain of command.
...After then-President Donald Trump lost his bid for reelection, Guy Reffitt began to sequester himself in the front room of his suburban brick home, glued to Newsmax as it reported theories of how the vote was rigged.
On Dec. 19, Reffitt found a new obsession, his family said, when Trump tweeted: "Big protest in D.C. on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"
From then on, Reffitt's texts bounced between plans for shopping and cooking prime rib for Christmas and talk of going to D.C. to "shock the world."
"It's the government that is going to be destroyed in this fight," Reffitt texted his family on Dec. 21. "Congress has made fatal mistakes this time."
Feeling "paranoid" about his father, Jackson Reffitt sent in a tip via the FBI website. He said he wrote that his father was a militia member who made threatening statements about public officials and kept talking about doing "something big."
After Christmas, Guy Reffitt firmed up plans to travel to Washington for the Jan. 6 rally. His family said he planned to bring weapons, which was unsurprising; they said he went most everywhere armed. Nicole Reffitt told ProPublica her husband promised to disassemble the weapons to comply with Washington, D.C., laws. His defense attorney has argued that there is no evidence that he "carried a loaded firearm."
But according to court records, on Dec. 28, Guy messaged an unnamed individual. "I don't think unarmed will be the case this time," he said. "I will be in full battle rattle. If that's a law I break, so be it, but I won't do it alone."
When he left to drive to Washington, he told his family, "If everything works out, I'll see you again," in what Nicole said was a typically melodramatic goodbye.
"I love ALL of you with ALL of my heart and soul," he texted on the morning of Jan. 6. "This is for our country and for ALL OF YOU and your kids."
Jackson Reffitt came home to find his mother and sister transfixed by the television as protestors pushed past police lines. "What the hell?" he recalled asking. "Is dad there?" The screen showed police in the Senate chambers, guns drawn.
"Your father is there," his mother responded.
Finally acting on Jackson Reffitt's earlier tip, an FBI agent called him to set up a meeting.
Two days later, Guy Reffitt came home, eager to boast. His son decided to record him. Jackson Reffitt met with the FBI agent the following week.
In the pre-dawn hours of Jan. 16, a squad of more than a dozen officers rolled up to the Reffitt home, armed for a SWAT raid, according to his family and footage from their neighbor's security camera. A mobile battering ram idled in front of their house as the officers tossed flash-bang grenades. The family clambered out, some still in their underwear.
Guy Reffitt went without resistance, assuring the kids that the federal agents were only doing their jobs. He was expecting to be arrested by then, his family said, and even laughed with an officer who accompanied him to the bathroom after he'd been handcuffed.
As he was being carted off in the back of a police vehicle, he yelled out the window: "I didn't ask for this!"
He has been behind bars since.
On April 22, Reffitt messaged his wife a note of encouragement.
"You are superstars to more than half the country," he wrote. "There's no going back now."
Twenty years behind bars might calm him down a little. As for Clyde... it's all about the voters in north Georgia. There must be a way to reach them... or maybe they'll all give each other COVID, since it's a largely mask-free part of the state. I suspect that this survey of Georgia voters does not reflect the thinking in either Greene's or Clyde's district. Data for Progress reported that "In Georgia, a majority of self-identifying Republicans support the American Rescue Plan (58 percent) and the American Jobs Plan (58 percent). In addition, more than two in five Republicans (45 percent) support the American Families Plan-- and some of the individual provisions of the American Families Plan enjoy either majority or plurality support from Republican voters.

Did you get your DVD or Blu-ray copy of The Bible yet??
If not, you are in the minority, it seems, because the epic miniseries, THE BIBLE, continues its unprecedented success with its home entertainment launch and quickly became the biggest selling TV on DVD in the last 5 years and the biggest miniseries of all time on Blu-ray™, Digital HD™ and DVD in its first week of release. THE BIBLE series is flying off store shelves around the country with 525,000 units sold.
According to the Association for Christian Retail (CBA), THE BIBLE is the fastest pre-selling faith based title in its 60-year history. THE BIBLE also ranked #1 across digital stores including iTunes, Amazon, VUDU, Xbox, PlayStation, CinemaNow, and GooglePlay.
From its early debut last July at The International Christian Retailers Show (ICRS), to the unparalleled praise from notable spiritual leaders as Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes, Samuel Rodriguez, Cardinal Wuerl and Rick Warren, to receiving The Parents Television Council 2013 Seal of Approval, THE BIBLE has ignited discussion across the country about the greatest story ever told.
From Executive Producers Mark Burnett (The Voice, Survivor) and Roma Downey (Touched by an Angel), THE BIBLE is an epic 10-part miniseries which retells the stories of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. The four-disc Blu-ray™ and DVD set dives deeper into the making of the series and features a behind-the-scenes look at how the ground-breaking miniseries came together.
After being named the official app of THE BIBLE series, YouVersion's Bible App had its biggest month ever, reaching 88 million total installs, breaking into the top 15 of all free apps in the iTunes App Store, and seeing 3.4 billion minutes of Bible engagement in the app.
A STORY OF GOD AND ALL OF US: A NOVEL BASED ON THE EPIC TV MINISERIES "THE BIBLE" by Roma Downey & Mark Burnett instantly became a national bestseller. The book debuted at #6 on the Publishers Weekly Hardcover Fiction list and spent multiple weeks on the New York Times Hardcover Fiction list.
THE BIBLE series also continues to exceed rating expectations around the world with premieres in Spain, Columbia and Portugal that brought in viewership that dominated and lifted the series to #1 and beating the top rated programming in each of those countries.
In Diogo Morgado's Portugal, a large protest via Facebook prompted SIC to reschedule the series to air in the afternoon over Easter weekend. This resulted in great success for the channel and a whopping 37% market share. And more international territories continue to acquire the series including Greece, Croatia, Holland, Brasil, France and the UK where it was announced today that THE BIBLE will premiere on Ch. 5 this fall.

Q: SectionsPagerAdapter - No view found for id for fragment I have a App with a Slidingmenu where i can pick different Fragment, which displays different kind of ListFragments.
The ListFragments will be filled by JSON from my Database Server.
If you Click on one of the Listitems, a new Fragment is shown which contains more Details about the selected Listitem.
public void updateList(final Activity a, final ListFragment L) {

    adapter = new SimpleAdapter(a, mCommentList,
            R.layout.single_comment, new String[] {TAG_PIC_ID,TAG_CATEGORY, TAG_ACTIVITY, TAG_DATUM, TAG_AKTUSR, TAG_MAXUSR, TAG_GENDER, /*TAG_POST_ID,*/ TAG_TITLE, TAG_MESSAGE,

                    R.id.username });

    L.setListAdapter(adapter);

    ListView lv = L.getListView();

    lv.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view,
                int position, long id) {

            int intid = (int)id;

            Details nextFrag= new Details();
            L.getFragmentManager().beginTransaction()
                .replace(R.id.frame_container, nextFrag, "Test")
                .addToBackStack(null)
                .commit();

        }

    });
}

When i call the function from a "single" fragment its no problem and the DetailPage is shown.
The Problem is when i call the function from a TabbedActivity with a SectionsPagerAdapter.
The TabbedActivity
package info.androidhive.slidingmenu;

public class TabbedActivity extends Fragment {

SectionsPagerAdapter mSectionsPagerAdapter;

public static final String TAG = TabbedActivity.class.getSimpleName();

ViewPager mViewPager;

public static TabbedActivity newInstance() {
    return new TabbedActivity();
}

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
}

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_item_one, container, false);
    mSectionsPagerAdapter = new SectionsPagerAdapter(
            getChildFragmentManager());

    mViewPager = (ViewPager) v.findViewById(R.id.pager);
    mViewPager.setAdapter(mSectionsPagerAdapter);

    return v;
}

public class SectionsPagerAdapter extends FragmentPagerAdapter {

    public SectionsPagerAdapter(FragmentManager fm) {
        super(fm);
    }

    @Override
    public Fragment getItem(int position) {

        Fragment fragment = new newEntrys();

        switch (position) {
        case 0:
            fragment = new newEntrys();
            break;
        case 1:
            fragment = new oldEntrys();
            break;

        default:
            break;
        }
        return fragment;
    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return 2;
    }

    @Override
    public CharSequence getPageTitle(int position) {
        Locale l = Locale.getDefault();
        switch (position) {
        case 0:
            return "Aktuelle Einträge";
        case 1:
            return "Vergangene Einträge";
        }
        return null;
    }
}}

The TabbedActivity contains the 2 Fragments newEntry and oldEntry which are nearly equal.
package info.androidhive.slidingmenu.fragments;

public class RegisterdEvents_new extends ListFragment{

@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container,
        Bundle savedInstanceState) {

    View rootView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.read, container, false);

    return rootView;
}

public void startTask(){

    Read SO = new Read();

    Load LEvt = SO.new Load(getActivity(), this, "NEW");
    LEvt.execute();

}

public void onResume() {
    startTask();
    super.onResume();
}

}
So the function updateList above is called in
Load LEvt = SO.new Load(getActivity(), this, "NEW");
But the problem is that i always get the Error
No view found for id 0x7f0a000f (package:id/frame_container) for fragment Details{e3992e2 #0 id=0x7f0a000f Test}

Someone of you can help me to solve this problem?

I fear you are missing only the inherent silliness of the post. I do believe the US News ranking appears on 28th. In the meantime I had located a different one (which is not real).
Clearly it is time to move to the United States, where they have the top 20 of everything.


Hope you enjoy listening to my conversation with SMU Men's Assistant Tennis Coach, Ben Johnson. Coach Johnson takes us through the days of when he first picked up a racket to where here is now in his tennis journey. Hear the details of the various coaching stops in Coach Johnson's career, and listen as Coach Johnson shares his reasoning on why he made the decision to leave a Head Coaching job at Richmond to become an Assistant Coach at SMU.
