Q: Excel VBA Runs but not when Macro Assigned I have some VBA code that I run in the VBA area with the green play button to "Run Sub/UserForm" and it runs great. However, I create a Shape and then assign a macro to it so a user can just click the shape, but it does not work. It says "Cannot run the macro ''IMD Automation.xlsm'!IMDAutomation'. The macro may not be available in this workbook or all macros may be disabled."
I've looked around and I enabled all content. I created a new workbook and copied all the code over, but nothing.

July 2016 Community Education E-bulletin - Welcome to Hope House of South Central Wisconsin's website!
Welcome to the July 2016 edition of Hope House's Community Education E-bulletin!
Many thanks to the businesses, service agencies, schools, and churches that participated in Denim Day in April for Sexual Assault Awareness Month. By wearing jeans on Denim Day, community members illustrated their support of sexual assault survivors sending the message that survivors deserve to be believed and not blamed. Many of the participants decided to donate funds to Hope House as a part of their Denim Day campaign. This year community members raised over $3,100 to support survivors in our service area. Thank you for your support!
In April, we asked community members from all of our five counties to decorate denim blocks with messages of support for survivors, how sexual abuse has impacted their own life, or pledges to help when someone is being hurt. We received enough submissions to create a quilt for each county. Emanuel Quilters for Christ in Baraboo pieced together the quilt from Sauk County residents, the Lodi Quilt Guild pieced together the quilt from Columbia County residents, Gem City Quilters of Baraboo pieced together the quilt from Marquette County residents, and the Reedsburg Area Quilt Guild is finishing up the two quilts from Adams and Juneau County residents. Thank you to all these quilting groups!
The Sauk County quilt is currently on display in the West Square Building in Baraboo. The Lodi Quilt Guild is presenting the Columbia County quilt at the Lodi Agricultural Fair this weekend. Plans for displaying quilts are ongoing. If you have a location where you think people would benefit from seeing one of the Hope and Healing Quilts and/or have a group that would like a Hope House staff person to present to on our services and show the quilt, please call us at 608-356-9123 or email HHShelter@HopeHouseSCW.org.
Engaging Men of Faith in Domestic Violence Prevention: Join A CALL TO MEN for a FREE one-day conference on October 14 in Charlotte, NC designed to engage men of faith in domestic violence prevention.

The very first arrival of Soul of Chogokin in 2001: [Invincible Steel Man Daitank 3] made its official debut in April. Created in 70s in one of the classic Anime, also played a role in [Super Robot Taisen] series, which is such a symbolic figure represents across multiple generations of all kinds of Japan Anime robot. The kit features three different transformations, and plenty of weapons and equipments included as well, all those juicy contents will be covered in the following review. First of all, let's take a close look at this 25 cm high giant masterpiece: The number "3" in the name stands for 3 distinct transformable forms, whereas the robotic form must be the most memorable image for the fans. Back to the product itself, Daitank 3 is a fine balance between the original taste of style and the unique Chogokin flavor, which gives it a classic look with futuristic feel. The body comprises many alloy parts, for example the legs are made of alloy hence robust enough for firm standing pose. Movable joints can be found all over limbs and neck, and the hip joint has thoughtful design can be pulled out for extensive actions. Optional face with opened mouth expression is included for battle stance posture. Multiple selections of weapon is one of the appealing features of Daitank 3, long sword, lance, bola, iron fan, and whip are all parts of this product. Iron fan even has its own weaponry forms as folding, attacking, and shielding. Others also have their movable parts; the designer is showing real creativity when crafting this kit. Multiple weapon accessory options, along with replaceable hand part, and caterpillar treads (described later in article) allow Daitank to demonstrate construction-vehicle-like view, a presentable collectible at the same time a playable one as well.

Business E-Mail Fraud: Sometimes You Pay Twice!
In a recent Ontario Small Claims Court decision, a deputy judge was faced with a situation where a business e-mail compromise resulted in settlement funds being redirected to a fraudster rather than the intended recipient. The case raised the following novel question:...


Johannesburg - A controversial Viceroy report had no impact on Capitec bank's financial performance, CEO Gerrie Fourie said on Tuesday, as the lender posted an 18% rise in annual profit.
In January, a bombshell report by the US-based short seller described Capitec as a "loan shark", plunging the bank's shares by as much as 25% .
"The Viceroy report came out on January 30 [and] at that stage we were 90% certain where our figures would be," said Fourie.
"The report had no bearing on the results," he told Fin24.
The bank, which is targeting the lower segment of the market, has been a dominant player in the industry, offering affordable services and unsecured loans.
The number of active Capitec clients was expected to reach 10 million by the end of the month, making the 18- year-old bank the country's biggest lender by numbers.
Fourie said although the bank entered the market to service the lower-income population, progress was being made to reach the high-income group.
Part of the bank's strategy has seen it open branches in more affluent areas, especially in Gauteng, with plans to boost banking services to include secured lending products.
"The only place where we haven't opened a branch is Sandton, because we are still fighting over rentals," said Fourie after the release of earnings for the year ended February 28 2018.
Capitec reported an 18% jump in headline earnings from R3.8bn in 2017 to R4.5bn, boosted by client growth and fee income, in a weak economic climate that has reduced savings and curbed spending.
The bank's financial results revealed that its credit market shared remained "relatively flat" at 27% of unsecured and short term credit.
"We are optimistic about the political stability and economic potential of the country, and will continue to play our part in enabling and supporting radical economic growth in South Africa the long term," said Fourie.

Education Index Feminist/Marxist Analysis of the Hunger Games
Feminist/Marxist Analysis of the Hunger Games
Introduction and Book Summary From Wikipedia
"The Hunger Games takes place after the destruction of North America, in a nation known as Panem, which consists of a wealthy Capitol and twelve surrounding, poorer districts. District 12, where the book begins, is located in the coal-rich region that was formerly Appalachia. As punishment for a previous rebellion against the Capitol in which a 13th district was destroyed, one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 from each district are selected by annual lottery to participate in the Hunger Games, a televised event in which the participants (or "tributes") must fight to the death in a dangerous outdoor arena controlled by the Capitol until only one remains. The story follows …show more content…
Each tesserae is worth a meager year's supply of grain and oil for one person" (13). They may also do this for each of their family members. So the wealthy children, who have no need for tesserae, have far lower chances of being chosen to fight to the death. By keeping the poor in a constant state of fear and oppression and keeping the wealthy content and happy, the Capitol ensures that there is no rebellion. Katniss expounds on this, speaking about her friend Gale: "I've listened to him rant about how the tesserae are just another tool to cause misery in our district. A way to plant hatred between the starving workers of the Seam and those who can generally count on supper and thereby ensure we will never trust one another. 'It's to the Capitol's advantage to have us divided among ourselves,' he might say if there were no ears to hear but mine" (13). Additionally, the Capitol wields its power all year between the Games, by showering the winning district with gifts of grain, oil, and even delicacies like sugar, while the rest of the districts continue to battle starvation. This furthers the atmosphere of isolation between districts.
The imperialistic Capitol also supports the capitalist notion of "survival of the fittest" in the Games. However, similar to themes apparent in today's society, the tributes from certain districts have a distinct advantage, having been well-fed and trained for combat all their lives.
Literary Analysis of the Most Dangerous Game
Literary Analysis of The Most Dangerous Game Richard Connell's The Most Dangerous explains multiple theories, such as nature versus nurture, and survival of the fittest. This short story also seems to have an underlying theme of Social Darwinism (Of Two Classes). Throughout the entirety of the short story, Connell shows a character change of a main character, Rainsford, who is at a constant battle with General Zaroff, the antagonist. This character change shows the importance of the mindset….
Transcendentalism and the Hunger Games
The Hunger Games Transcendentalism is a lifestyle in which one strives to rise above and reach a level of perfection. Transcendentalists believe in self-reliance, non-conformity, individualism, simplicity, the greatness of nature, and God being within oneself. Transcendentalism is often represented in modern day pop-culture; a strong example of this is The Hunger Games. The book depicts the life of Katniss Everdeen, a character who possesses many transcendental qualities. The Hunger Games displays….
IN WHAT WAYS DOES KATNISS EVERDEEN CHALLENGE OR CONFIRM OUR UNDERSTANDING OF A TYPICAL HERO IN 'THE HUNGER GAMES'?
The question of whether Katniss Everdeen, of 'The Hunger Games,' confirms or challenges the idea of an archetypal hero is one debated worldwide. Throughout the novel, written by Suzanne Collins, Katniss demonstrates qualities and undertakes actions which are, without a doubt, heroic. However, whether or not this makes her a hero is dependent upon who you are asking; many characters in the novel would have very different ideas as to what a hero is. Also, although Katniss may come off as a hero many….
Social Criticism in the Hunger Games and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Social Criticism In The Hunger Games And Alice's Adventures In Wonderland "Off with their heads!" (Carroll 122) could be the motto of Suzanne Collins' bestseller The Hunger Games. Published in 2008, the novel tells the dystopian story of Katniss, a young girl who has to participate in a fight-to-death-tournament with 23 other teenagers. Connoisseurs might have recognized the quotation of the classic Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, first published in 1865. Mostly known as a children's….
Beer Game Analysis
* Introduction: The beer game is a simulation first developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management in the 1960s. This game was made in other to experiment how real organisations functions, where the consequences of every decisions play out as clearly as possible in the game as they would in a real organisation (Senge, 1990). Narayanan Arunachalam (2006) described the game as a popular classroom exercise for business schools conceived at MIT with the primary purpose….
it shapes them into fighters, when faced with life and death a person would do almost anything to assure survival. This is greatly demonstrated in the book The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins when the main character Katniss Everdeen's world is shifted upside down when her father dies and when she volunteers as tribute for the Hunger Games. After her father's death the weight of the world was on Katniss's shoulders, as she had to learn how to provide for, and keep her family alive. Her family consisted….
Describe the Basis of Feminist Criminology
The Basis Of Feminist Criminology Feminist criminology was created out of the realization that criminology from its beginnings focused on the male criminal and the unlawful acts they committed. When in the fact it could be argued female crime was studied as far back as 1800's, female criminal activity, its causes and the effects in which it placed on public opinion were often disregarded. Over the past 20 years, there has been a significantly different approach in how females are being dealt with….

Set in the 1980s, the film provides a historical situation of inequitable distribution: this inequity sways all the characters' behavior. Though Tess McGill and Jack Trainer spark up a romance, it is Tess' acquisitiveness….

Any damaging acts committed against a person based on gender are referred to as gender-based violence (GBV). It is deeply rooted in detrimental socio-cultural norms, gender inequity, and power abuse. Gender-based violence is a grave human rights violation, as well as a life-threatening health and protection issue.
According to UN Women, of the estimated 736 million women in the world, nearly one in three have experienced physical or sexual intimate relationship violence, non-partner sexual abuse, or both at least once in their lives. Sexual harassment is not included in this number.
16 Days of Activism, also known as Orange the World, is a global movement to end violence against women and girls. The campaign intends to engage the entire globe in the discussion by raising awareness, disseminating crucial facts, and emphasizing ways we can all contribute to halting the scourge of sexual and gender-based violence.
Every year, the campaign runs from 15 November—the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women—through 10 December, Humans Rights Day.
This year's campaign is themed UNiTE! Activism to End Violence against Women & Girls. It is aimed at inspiring everyone in society to take up the cause of ending violence against women and girls, to show their support for women's rights advocates, and to join feminist movements around the globe in their fight against the denial of women's rights and for a world free from VAWG.
Today marks the beginning of 16 days of activism, FAME Foundation joins forces with organizations and women globally in the international campaign against VAWG.
As we oppose all forms of gender-based violence, let's UNITE to end violence against women and girls.

The Costa Rican territory has the shape of a trapeze. Its main characteristic is that it has a range of high and big mountains throughout the whole territory. This geographical trait gives origin to the weather diversity of this country. This weather diversity is responsible of the great variety of woods, which have a vast diversity in flora and fauna.
Costa Rican current geographical position is due to many geological processes that provided our country with a strategic position. This privileged situation has made that Costa Rica and the other Central American countries function as an ecological bridge of the animal species that come from South America and North America. This phenomenon is the cause of the complex biological diversity of this country, which represents almost 5% of the world biodiversity in a territory that occupies just the 0.03% of the total terrestrial area of the world. This enchanting natural beauty is encouraged by a complex system of protected areas whose main purpose is the conservation and the free access and enjoyment of domestic and international tourism. These places are not only used for enjoyment but also they are used for scientific research. These National Reserves offer the tourists a great variety of islands, woods, green areas, choral reefs and beaches that have a great tourist attraction.

Q: Match NOT in Tinkerpop traversal I'd like to match all b1, where no node b2 exists as depicted below.

This is some kind of a 2-hop asymmetry. Note that the non-existent b2 must link to the same c:C as b1, so other (a2) --> (b3) --> (a1) can be ignored as long as b3 has no edge to c:C.
I tried the following...
graph.traversal().V()
    .match(
        as("c").hasLabel("C"),

        as("a").hasLabel("A")
        .out().hasLabel("B").as("b1")
        .where(out().as("c"))
        .out().hasLabel("A").as("a2"),

        not(
        as("a2")
        .out().hasLabel("B").as("b2")
        .where(out().as("c")
        .out().as("a1")
    )
)

...but second MATCH step throws an exception:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The provided match pattern is unsolvable: [[MatchStartStep(a1), HasStep([~label.eq(A)]), VertexStep(OUT,vertex), HasStep([~label.eq(B)]), WhereTraversalStep([WhereStartStep, VertexStep(OUT,vertex), WhereEndStep(c)])@[b1], VertexStep(OUT,vertex), HasStep([~label.eq(A)]), MatchEndStep(a2)], [MatchStartStep(a2), HasStep([~label.eq(B)]), WhereTraversalStep([NotStep([WhereStartStep, VertexStep(OUT,edge)])]), WhereTraversalStep([WhereStartStep, VertexStep(OUT,vertex)@[c], VertexStep(OUT,vertex), WhereEndStep(a1)])@[b2], MatchEndStep, MatchEndStep]]

I can't even match this is Cypher, unfortunately.

A: Suddenly, I found a solution which avoids scope problems:
graph.traversal().V()
    as("a").hasLabel("A")
    .out().hasLabel("B").as("b1")
    .where(out().hasLabel("C"))
    .out().hasLabel("A").as("a2")
    .where(
        not(
            out().hasLabel("B")
                .where(out().hasLabel("C"))
                .out().as("a")
        )
    )

O-Zone: Pure hate
John Oehser
JACKSONVILLE – Let's get to it …
Michael from Fruit Cove, FL
Speaking of trying to keep defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. next year and beyond, what do you think are the chances some of the other older/higher paid defensive linemen take pay cuts moving forward? Defensive linemen Calais Campbell, Malik Jackson and Marcell Dareus would all be candidates. Campbell and Jackson especially have made tons of money already in their careers and seem to love playing with this group of players. Staying here also gives them as good of a chance at a Super Bowl as going anywhere else. Seems like a lot of factors that could lead to them taking significant pay cuts to stay with the Jags. My, how things have changed since they signed here.
The NFL is professional football, so it's never safe to assume high-level players will take less money to play somewhere. While the Super Bowl is a goal, this is real life. The Jaguars' coming offseason will be complicated in terms of the salary cap with many moving parts. Some well-known players – and some important players – almost certainly will move on. If the team has drafted well, it should be able to withstand several of those losses. I do anticipate the team will try to restructure the contracts of several elite-level veterans who have joined the team in recent seasons with Campbell, Jackson and Dareus certainly on that list. How that shakes out is anyone's guess, but I wouldn't anticipate – or expect – any of those players to play for dramatically less than market value. These are their lives and their families' financial futures we're discussing. What would you do in that situation?
Daniel from Jersey City, NJ
O-man, I must admit, seeing the Jaguars at No. 1 in the ever-so-important, inspirational and awe-inspiring weekly power rankings is different than I was expecting: it's weird. Do you think this is a something we could get used to?
Yes. Being good is cool. Fans like it.
Rob from Jagsonville
Tell me more about this "big nickel" and what it means for Leon Jacobs' and Ronnie Harrison's playing time. Does Jacobs remain our starting strong-side linebacker? How is it we have a starter as a healthy scratch on game day?
The big nickel is a package in which the Jaguars play rookie safety Ronnie Harrison as the fifth defensive back as opposed to playing nickel corner D.J. Hayden or Jacobs at strong-side linebacker. It's a package that makes sense when you're playing teams that emphasize passing and running from three-receiver sets – such as the New England Patriots. It certainly cuts into Jacobs' playing time, but the positive is it gets Harrison on the field more – and the Jaguars definitely want to get Harrison on the field more. As for how a "starter" is a healthy scratch on game day … it may help to realize that teams these days actually have 13 or 14 starters depending on the defensive or offensive package. Jacobs is the starter when the Jaguars start a game in a base defense. Yes, it's entirely possible Jacobs will be inactive at times if the Jaguars believe a team isn't going to run out of a lot of two-back or tight-end oriented sets. If a team is going to be heavy with three-receiver sets, it's probably going to make sense to play Harrison and Hayden as opposed to Jacobs.
Paul from Ipswich, UK
I'm finding it difficult to understand the negativity on this site and others where I expect to find happy excited Jags fans. We all know everything isn't perfect but it's the same in every NFL team. On Sunday I was jumping round the house like a kid as we beat the Patriots and Tom Brady. Surely we should be happy to be 2-0 and leave the worrying to the coaches.
Fans fan. In good times and bad. It's what they do.
Nathan from Fort Belvoir, VA
Has Jaguars Executive Vice President of Football Operations Tom Coughlin specifically asked not to be considered for induction into the Hall of Fame? He has coached three Super Bowl teams, two of which were as head coach. Thoughts?
While there's no set time limit for former NFL head coaches to be voted into the Hall of Fame, it sometimes takes a few years for them to be considered. This is because voters wish to be certain they are indeed permanently retired from coaching before induction. Coughlin won two Super Bowls as head coach of the New York Giants. He coached an expansion Jaguars franchise to two AFC Championship Games. I have little doubt Coughlin will make the Hall of Fame in due time.
Sam from Orlando, FL
I think the injury-prone moniker fits Leonard Fournette more than Fragile Fred fit Fred Taylor. Fournette hasn't been completely healthy since high school. His ankles (both of them) were a problem at LSU. They were still a problem last year and now he has a soft-tissue injury. It's valid.
You mad, bro?
Nick from Palatka, FL
Mr. Zone, we keep hearing about players maturing into the schemes of the different coordinators and coaches but what about the coaches adapting their systems to the players? Seems like we're seeing the coaches realizing the talent level they have and adjusting accordingly. Such as, linebacker Myles Jack playing a little safety while safety Tashaun Gipson patrols the linebacker's area. Also, making Jacobs a healthy scratch and playing more heavy nickel was a big surprise. Are we going to see this level of creativity going forward or was that just for the GOAT? And thank you for your razor-sharp perspicacity.
Todd Wash is in his third season as the Jaguars' defensive coordinator and Nathaniel Hackett is in his second season as the Jaguars' offensive coordinator. Many of the players are now moving into their third and second seasons with them, respectively. It makes sense that the comfort level would be rising all around.
Mr. Zone, sir. I can't wait to see what happens when offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett unleashes quarterback Blake Bortles and running back Leonard Fournette in the same game!!
If you DVR'd the AFC Divisional Playoff, rewatch it. Hackett did it then.
Bill from Jacksonville
John, why does a 6-feet-5 245-pound quarterback need to be protected from a 5-feet-11, 180-pound cornerback accidentally falling on top of him? Thanks! Go Jags!
Because you can't implement a rule based on a player's weight. The rule is designed to prevent a defensive player from taking advantage of having a quarterback in the grasp and falling on him with full body weight. Such a play wouldn't always technically be roughing the passer because a player could have the quarterback in the grasp with the quarterback possessing the ball, then fall on him once the ball is released. There have been plenty of cases of quarterbacks being injured unnecessarily on these plays, most notably and recently Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers last season. The hit Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr delivered to injure Rodgers was unnecessary. The rule is designed to prevent it.
Ed from Ponte Vedra Beach, FL
If we don't beat the Titans, it will be all in the coaching and a poor game plan. And then I will not read the O-Zone for two weeks to avoid getting depressed. Kidding, I'll still read.
I understand. It's always coaching in the NFL.
Kevin from Charlotte, NC
Hey O, I was arguing with a Giants fan the other day that Bortles isn't much different than Eli was when he started. He said, "Don't be ridiculous," so I thought we should look at the statistics. For the first four years in the league Manning was 55 percent with 77 touchdowns and 64 interceptions. Bortles is 59 percent with 90 touchdowns and 64 interceptions not including this year. Obviously, the big difference is that Manning won a Super Bowl at the end of his fourth season. If Bortles wins the Super Bowl at the end of his fifth year, will he finally get some respect? I know he doesn't seem to care but the national media seems to be saying it was a blip for him instead of him truly taking a step forward.
If the Jaguars win the Super Bowl, Bortles will get a Super Bowl ring. Super Bowl rings are cooler than respect – and yeah, they do tend to bring respect along with them, too.
Ian from Leeds, UK
Sometimes I feel like one of one, O. Then I remember you and I … we're not so different. We make awesome look like an impossible dream.
So you say.
David from Orlando, FL
Zone - Last year, a player referred to our quarterback as "trash." Could you refresh my memory who that was?
Jadeveon Clowney. He plays for the Houston Texans. He's better at rushing the passer than he is at assessing quarterback play.
Biff from Jacksonville
Hello John. My name is Biff, and I loathe the Titans.

Former Anthony Joshua victim Eric Molina addresses his demons as he tackles the fancied Filip Hrogvic in Saudi Arabia
Matt Christie
Eric Molina returns to heavyweight picture following controversial drug ban and has some words of warning for Anthony Joshua ahead of Andy Ruiz rematch
THIS time three years ago it was Eric Molina – and not Andy Ruiz Jnr – who was the heavyweight underdog heading into a showdown with Anthony Joshua. Molina was mere cannon fodder as the Englishman warmed up his weapons for the threat of Wladimir Klitschko, who was sitting ringside that night at the Manchester Arena. The Ukrainian was announced as Joshua's next opponent the moment Joshua bulleted through Molina with ease inside three rounds in December 2016.
The Texan's fortunes haven't got any better since. Known as a durable gatekeeper-cum-contender prior, thanks largely for lasting into the ninth round with WBC Deontay Wilder in 2015, he achieved infamy when it emerged that he had failed a post-fight drug test for dexamethasone. His excuse was a familiar one – he didn't know the banned substance was an ingredient in a B12 vitamin supplement that was purchased over the counter in Mexico – and his punishment was far too late in being administered (it was May 2018 before he received a two-year ban from United Kingdom Anti-Doping, dating back to October 2017).
Molina was furious with his treatment from UKAD. He felt he was made a scapegoat. He said what he took was an anti-inflammatory and not an anabolic steroid, as was claimed. And he certainly had a point when he told Boxing News that the punishment coming 18 months after the test was ridiculous.
UNDER FIRE: Molina covers up against Joshua [Action Images/Andrew Couldridge]
"They do not do things the right way," he said. "I just wanted to clear my name. I knew what they wanted to achieve [by banning me for two years]. To throw the book at someone and make an example of them, but they picked the wrong fighter. They should have targeted one of these big-name fighters who cheat. I'm not a cheat.
"I was furious. I got the emails from UKAD one-and-a-half years after the Joshua fight."
With the impending controversy still to hit, Molina was beaten by Dominic Breazeale in eight rounds in Brooklyn in November 2017. In February this year – with eight months of his UK ban still to run – he outpointed Nick Guivas in Brownsville. Whether the ban was fair or not, Molina's activity following his failed test highlights the huge problems the sport faces in its battle against performance enhancing drugs. The issue of PEDs and the confusion surrounding them is one thing yet the loopholes that are available to offenders, thanks to myriad commissions and rules, are arguably even worse.
Joshua won't be able to recover from the punches he has already taken from Andy Ruiz
Eric Molina
On Saturday night, on the undercard of the Ruiz-Joshua return, Eric Molina re-enters the heavyweight scene, again as a rank outsider but this time with a point to prove, when he takes on gifted Croat, Filip Hrgovic, in a 12-round clash for the WBC International heavyweight strap.
To say Molina has an uphill task ahead of him would be an understatement. At this point, "The Drummer Boy" is just happy to be fighting again.
GOOD MEMORIES: Molina is eager to get his career back on track
"I'm blessed to be here at this iconic sporting event," Eric Molina told BN. "I don't look at it like I'm expected to lose, I can't look at it that way. After everything that's happened, I know I'm lucky to be back doing what I love the most.
"Hrgovic is an up-and-comer and he's inexperienced. I feel like there's many things that we can do to target and exploit that inexperience. He does make mistakes."
Molina seemed offended by the notion that his past as a bit-part player in the burgeoning heavyweight scene was being exploited in order to give Hrgovic a leg-up to bigger and better things.
"This fight isn't about him," he said. "It's about me. This is about seeing if I can still fight at this level. I accept that he's a strong heavyweight and I accept that he's expected to win. But I've been here before. I've been in the ring with strong heavyweights, but it has been a couple of years since I've been in the ring with a big heavyweight. I have to see if I can still compete at that level.
"So far training has been good, but the real test is Saturday. I feel great, I feel like I have everything I need to be victorious."
It will be a huge shock if Molina derails Hrgovic but – as the 37-year-old pointed out as he observed Ruiz go through the motions at Tuesday night's open air workouts in Riyadh – upsets happen. He also watched Ruiz defeat Joshua in June, and he expects to watch Ruiz do the same again on Saturday night.
"I feel like Ruiz wins the rematch. I think 'AJ' is going to try and change things a bit, but I feel like eventually the fight will come down to the things it came down to the first time. I don't think AJ is going to be able to recover from some of the punches he's taken already. They were big punches that Ruiz hit him with, they stay with you.
"The first fight was a huge surprise to me but this is heavyweight boxing. It happens."
Molina was coy when asked if he sees himself ever competing for world titles again. He knows only too well how the best laid plans can go to pot.
"I will not look past December 7," he said. "My only focus is December 7. I will worry about December 8 on that morning. I'm not going to make any predictions about anything after that."

If you ever struggle with the way your child behaves, you're certainly not alone! At times, children's behaviour can be challenging and it can make things difficult for the whole family. If you feel like you've tried everything you can think of to change your child's behaviour and are having no success, have a look at these common parenting mistakes. They might help you need to understand what's not working so that you can make a plan to deal with the behaviour.
Below are nine common parenting mistakes that we can all be guilty of at times. If you are trying to change something about your child's behaviour, consider these common mistakes and see whether they may be affecting the way your child behaves. Understanding these common mistakes can also help you to make a plan so you can move forward.
Not considering the child's perspective. Before you think about how you can change your child's behaviour, try thinking about it from their perspective. Why are they behaving like that? If you child is hitting other children because they feel lonely and frustrated, there are some underlying issues that you need to address before the behaviour will change. Sometimes children have big feelings and these need as much consideration as any adult's. Stop and talk to your child and see if there is something going on for them.
Thinking: "It's just a phase." Children do go through phases but undesirable behaviour can also become entrenched. I bet we can all think about situations where we found ourselves stuck in a pattern of behaviour that we didn't like. It's the same with children. Decide whether it's something that's important to deal with and if it is, make a plan.
Modelling undesirable behaviour. Recently, I realised that my daughter was saying "Just a minute…" a lot as a delaying tactic. I got really frustrated about it and then I heard myself say…. oops! Now, instead of saying "Just a minute", I'm trying to say something like, "I'll do that for you in five minutes" and then trying to stick to it! It's not easy but I hope it will impact on how she relates to me.It's important to remember that if you yell at your kids, it won't be a surprise if they yell back. Try modelling the kind of behaviour you want to see and you might be surprised at how you see this reflected back at you. Behaviour is learned and it can be unlearned.
Not having a plan to change the behaviour. Once you've identified behaviour that you'd like your child to change, you need a plan to stop it. The plan must: (1) address the child's current behaviour, (2) decide what you are going to do to change it, (3) identify the behaviour that you'd like to see. Each part the plan is important and you need to make sure that your child is clear about what is happening. Explain clearly to them why their behaviour is a problem and what you'd like to see them do. Make sure that your child also understands the plan.
Not involving your child in making a plan. Your child will have ideas about how they can change. The more you enlist them, the easier it will be for everyone! Consider asking your child how they think the issue should be dealt with and make a plan together.
Not teaching a new behaviour. You will struggle to change your child's behaviour unless he or she is taught a new behaviour to replace it. Try explaining to your child how you would like them to behave in these situations. Model how you'd like them to speak and the words that they could use. You could also role play the behaviour so that your child has a chance to try it before they really need it.
Going it alone. Big mistake! Your child is part of a community and the more people you can involve in your plan, the easier it will be. Try enlisting extended family, teachers and friends – but make sure that everyone is on the same page and that everyone knows the plan.
Giving up too quickly. Learning new behaviour habits generally takes a minimum of 21 days of repetition. Hang in there and be willing to accept that there might be some challenges along the way.
Changing difficult behaviour but consider these nine common parenting mistakes can help to identify the real issues and help to make a plan to address them.
Now that you know the 9 common parenting mistakes, check out more expert advice in our 5-10 year old behaviour section.

Dozens dead in Philippines, earthquake this time
By davidvranishFebruary 9, 2012
Philippines (MNN) — More than 70 people remain missing following a 6.8 magnitude earthquake which struck the Philippines this week. The quake hit the Island of Negros in the central part of the country. Unofficial reports have the death toll at 42, but hope is fading for those who are believed to be buried by landslides.
You may have sponsored children in the region through Compassion International. Compassion's Kathy Redmond says, "It's an area where we have about 25 child development centers. It looks like Bacolod City was affected, but in our centers we have had no children affected so far."
We asked Redmond if that could change. "Our program facilitators are going through and trying to get tallies and assess the needs. So we say, 'So far, none of our children have been affected.'"
The poor in the Philippines are at risk during these kinds of disasters. "It's not like these areas are built with great infrastructure and safety codes and things like that," says Redmond. "So when an earthquake hits, it can really be devastating."
An earthquake compounds the need for people to sponsor children with Compassion International, who works through the local church. But in situations like an earthquake, Redmond says sponsored children aren't the only ones in need. "For those who are in need–though it might not be our own families and children of Compassion, but others in the community–they will go to the church to get their needs met."
That also provides opportunities to share the Gospel. "When people go in to receive some of their basic survival needs, they are given the Gospel also as a survival need. So it all happens in the church, and we can see the church transforming communities in that way."
If you'd like to sponsor a child or get involved in their complementary intervention services — which provides for needs outside the sponsorship — you can click here.

The Restoration of Williamsburg owed much to W.A.R. Goodwin. He first conceived of the restoration while pastor of Bruton Parish from 1903 to 1909. After spending some years in New York, he returned to Williamsburg in 1923. A year later, he joined lawyer Channing Hall and William and Mary professor William Shewmake in establishing a company to begin acquiring buildings.
With limited funds, the trio's efforts got off to a slow start. Given the size of their ambitions, Goodwin realized it would take very deep pockets indeed. He tried to persuade President Julian Chandler that the College should take over the effort, but Chandler declined. After Henry Ford also said no, Goodwin turned to John D. Rockefeller, Jr. For several years, he wooed Rockefeller, who secretly agreed in late 1926 to fund the purchase of the Ludwell-Paradise House. As Goodwin bought more lots and buildings, people noticed. Speculation ran wild about who was backing him. Finally, at a June 1928 meeting of Williamsburg's white population, Goodwin revealed the identity of his secret backer. The meeting overwhelmingly voted to sell large parts of the town to Rockefeller's organization.
The Restoration transformed Williamsburg. In addition to preserving some buildings and rebuilding others, Rockefeller's workers demolished more than 400 buildings in the center of town. Hundreds of families had to move, and new suburbs and developments popped up. Most of the churches, except Bruton Parish, also moved to new facilities outside the restored area, as did Eastern State Hospital. The Matthew Whaley School replaced the Williamsburg High School in 1930. African Americans had to wait until 1940 for the Bruton Heights School to replace the James City County Training School.
The Restoration had its critics. The song, "My God, they've sold the town" expressed the sentiments of many who felt that their hometown had ceased to exist. And some residents, white and black, resented being forced to move, especially to what many considered inferior homes built by the Restoration for them. One Restoration official acknowledged deliberately building homes for African Americans that were small by the standards of the day. Ironically, the Restoration also increased residential segregation in Williamsburg. Whites and blacks had lived in mixed neighborhoods, but the Restoration tended to funnel the different races into different neighborhoods.
The Restoration proved a boon to Williamsburg during the Great Depression, as John Rockefeller poured money into the project and hired hundreds of residents. By the 1930s, the city of Williamsburg, which had gradually embraced progress in the late 1800s, had tied its future firmly to its past.

Led Zep Live
Pontiac Silverdome 1977
By jpenzabene, November 17, 2012 in Led Zep Live
Nutrocker
Location:The Beautiful Okanogan
I still believe that this show was filmed.
Duh. That's never been questioned.
Indeed...it's what became of the fuckin' film that raises all the questions! Who knows, maybe the Pontiac proshot will finally make an appearance in time for our grandkids to enjoy it, if the world doesn't blow up before then...
ledzepfilm
I have no life.
Location:Vegas Movie Studio 11.0
We WOULD have footage of Pontiac, if that 8mm film surfaced.
I believe it has, it only circulates via an elite group of collectors, though, if memory serves.
Could be bullshit, but who knows.
It's like with this mythical 'black and white' Houston '77 video...unless someone is willing to post a screenshot or something, call me a skeptic. Sorry, I'm not really inclined to take anybody's mere word about anything in this community, without some sort of hard evidence -like a sample or a screenshot- to back up the claims.
And I think this idea of only sharing something with a select few is fucking asinine, incidentally- either share it with everybody, or keep it completely dark.
It's ridiculous, isn't it. That tape that kdh has could be anything. Maybe it'll surface.
Edited January 10, 2013 by ledzepfilm
I still don't believe kdh even has a tape...
Sticks of Fire
There is Pontiaac 1977 8mm film shot from the floor about half way back. A guy who goes by "Zepp4life" had the footage, he posted screen shots and maybe a small sample
and then a couple days later took the post down. Rumor has it he ended up giving a DVD to Jimmy and Co. at the "02" gig in trade for getting to watch the Soundcheck
and front row seats. But since he did this he was told not to circulate it any further.
It was color 8mm, about 20 min. long and in average quality.
I never heard that particular story -or rumour, to be more accurate- but I believe that is the film that was shared out amongst a group of 'elite' traders.
Again, if somebody were to give me some uncirculating goodie but told me I had to keep it to myself, I'd tell them to go fuck themselves. I'd rather not have the thing at all if it meant I couldn't pass it along. I think I'd rather have cancer than be considered a member of some goddamn elitist clique. I've got a liberator mentality, not a hoarder mentality- my parents taught me to share...
Edited January 11, 2013 by Nutrocker
It's not a rumor, I saw his post with screen grabs and samples with my own eyes. The guy took a beating for a while over at RO.com for teasing everyone. The guy got it back in the 1980s from a guy who sold video at record shows in the Great Lakes area. I believe he had some 1975 8mm film too, perhaps Montreal 1975?
"Zepp4Life" even brought extra copies of the Pontiac '77 DVD to play for other "friends" while in England for the "02" show and I believe he even showed it to other friends at some Zep gatherings.
At first the guy was going tor shsre it with everyone but that only lasted about a day!

"Zepp4Life" even brought extra copies of the Pontiac '77 DVD to play for other "friends" while in England for the "02" show and I believe he even showed it ot other firends at some Zep gatherings.
Was the 8mm clear? or out of focus?
It was pretty decent, like I said shot from the floor about half way back. Sometimes focused on the stage, sometimes on the video screens.
I vividly remember seeing the double neck and some other shots he posted. Ask any mod over at RO.com, they will remember it clearly.
...and I'd be willing to bet that every bit of that discussion, from the post with the screengrabs to the ensuing 'beating' were stricken from the RO record (i.e. deleted from the thread, or the thread was deleted altogether) faster than you can say 'censorship'. The mods over at RO have been notorious for this kind of thing over the years, probably at least in part because some of them don't want to be reminded of their own past transgressions (And before anybody tries bashing me for knocking the RO site -which I'm not, I'm just stating a fact- let me just say that if you've done any sort of homework on the subject at all you know that what I say is true, even though the RO site's reputation has improved greatly over the past few years- either that or they've just learned a little more about discretion...)
I have heard similar stories regarding the supposed Houston '77 video from time to time (that the video was shown at parties).
At first the guy was going tor share it with everyone but that only lasted about a day!
I'm sure He shoulda said "Fuck it!" and shared it anyway...
I don't doubt they'd remember it, but I bet they'd be in denial mode at this point (at least, if they want to remain moderators, if not banned from the site altogether), either saying "Where'd you hear that?" or -even better- "Who told you that?!" These are the kinds of games that get played, folks...again, no bashing, this is a pretty well known fact...
(And, just for the record, it's not as if the same kind of bullshit doesn't go down on this site from time to time...)
Well it's all true what I said. Not that it matters in the least, have a great day amico
mielazul
Is there some kind of commando team that can be put together? I'm sure there are some hardcore Zeppelin fans with elite military experience. We can find this guy with the Pontiac DVD, and do an "extraction."
^^^ I'm joking in a "legal disclaimer" sort of way.
You have a good one too, Sticks- in case you haven't figured it out, I believe everything you've said. I've no doubt of yer sincerity, because it doesn't look like you have any axe to grind or a dog in the hunt (how's that for mixing metaphors! )
Sheeit, I actually just spent the last hour or so perusing some of the archive discussions regarding this topic over at RO...sure enough, I saw a few posts that simply said "EDIT" (i.e. the post itself was deleted...surprise!), which were most likely of the nature you were describing. I believe I even saw yer name in some of the discussions, so obviously you've been round the block, and have my respect.
Sure! Let's hire the same SEALS team that got Bin Laden, maybe they'll make a movie about it, Kathyrn Bigelow's next Oscar-nominated project! Somebody, call Tom Clancy, I got a great idea for his next book: President Ryan calls in The Campus or Rainbow or one of those groups to retrieve a stash of old Led Zeppelin tapes and videos before a multinational terrorist organization can get their hands on them, so they can sell them to bootleggers in order to fund the terrorist's next attack! Love it! This shit writes itself, it really does... Toss in about six hundred pages of boring technical jargon nobody cares about, and you be in like Flynn, bo!
In fact, fuck Tom Clancy and Kathryn Bigelow...this sounds like a job for 007- what's Daniel Craig up to these days?!
I'm joking in a "legal disclaimer" sort of way.
(back to serious mode)
Thing is, mielazul, as ridiculous as the idea sounds, it wouldn't surprise me one iota if people's lives have been threatened or outright thievery of the kind you just suggested (in jest) has been seriously considered in the past over these kinds of mythical uncirculating collectibles. Especially if serious money is involved in what they're after.
^^^ I don't mean to get off topic - especially since this is a topic that I'm very interested in - but as long as you mentioned thievery, I'd like to bring up something that I've always wondered about, and I'd be interested in your opinion.
People always talk about the theft of Jimmy's tapes in the 80's, and frequently point to that as a possible source when new releases come out. I've always wondered if Jimmy himself is behind some of these releases...like maybe he's getting them out discreetly through the proper channels. The reason I've suspected that - with no evidence whatsoever, I'm the first to admit - is that Jimmy is clearly the guy who cares most about maintaining the band's legacy...and yet apparently he has to work past Rob's veto on things he wants to release officially. What better way to bypass that than to leak out a few concerts every year or two years. I know some people will say "Oh no, Jimmy's such a perfectionist, and he wouldn't want things out that weren't scrubbed to perfection." But he's a smart guy, and he's a realist in some ways, and most importantly he's a Led Zeppelin superfan - he seems to REALLY believe that every Led Zeppelin concert was a source of magic in some way or another (even the rough ones). There's not enough time - not even close - to do this on an "official release" basis, let alone getting agreement from Rob. I just have a gut feeling he's involved in this somehow. Feel totally free to mock me, just don't be too harsh. It's a pet fantasy of mine.

I've always wondered if Jimmy himself is behind some of these releases...like maybe he's getting them out discreetly through the proper channels.
I'd say the more likely source is Jason Bonham. You have to remember that Jason lost his father very early, and so he has a much different interest in preserving all of those live Zep moments. That's his dad on those tapes. Watch the recent Charlie Rose interview, and the surviving members even make special mention that during the O2 rehearsals that Jason kept trying to get them all to do specific improvisations on songs like he had heard on various live tapes, and that none of them really had any idea what he was talking about because to them it was just a memory from a very very long time ago. That should tell you right there who actually cares about the tapes.
I know that it's very easy to assume that it's Page doing the learking since's he's the one who has historically had all of this mystery going on, but he's going to be 70 years old in another year. Really think about that. That's great-grandfather age. Feeding bootleg labels tapes on the sly can't really be the thing on his mind these days. Read the interviews with Kevin Shirley from 10 years ago regarding compiling the Zeppelin live DVD and he makes it clear that Page wasn't too concerned with the preservation of the live tapes even back then, and that he was more interested in getting the job done quickly so that he could go visit his son while he was in the states.
We can only hope that Page's been sitting on the soundboards to things like Boston 69, Bath 70, Osaka 71, etc specifically for pairing with the remastered Zep releases. I hope so, but we'll have to wait and see.
I didn't think of the Jason angle, thanks for the insight. I did read that quote from Shirley that you mentioned - it definitely jumped out at me - but I think that was in reference to the SRTS project. I could be wrong, but the LZ DVD gives me the impression of Jimmy's quality control, whereas there were some saddening fuckups and lost opportunities on SRTS, in my opinion. Anyway, thanks again for responding.
^^^ Nope, you were right and I was wrong, cookieshoes. I found that interview you were talking about.

I have believed, for many years, that someone inside the band, probably Jimmy, releases material to keep interest in the band high. I have noticed that often, right before the band has some "event", like a remaster, live CD, a DVD, etc., a new bootleg or two seems to surface.

I think it's a combination of both (Jason and Jimmy)...As to who has more influenece on Bootlegs being surfaced, I dunno.
I DO know that Jimmy has been spotted (and there are photo's and threads to prove it) shopping for bootlegs in various places he visits. Japan would be one example. I think he has a thing for them too. Jimmy is the sole caretaker of anything Zep related, that is to see official release.
Well, you have a more "commercial strategy" angle, whereas I'm coming from the "Jimmy' the Superfan" angle...but yeah, I'm on the same page for sure.
I'm editing this to say that it probably amounts to the same thing - being a Superfan and devising the strategy you spoke of - so we're totally on the same page.
Edited January 11, 2013 by mielazul
Those pictures of him in the bootleg shops always put a big smile on my face.
You can't blame the guy for wanting to hear/collect that stuff...It's part of him and his contribution to music. That's a big deal.

ANAEROBIC DIGESTION – THE BUSINESS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
President Joe Biden's climate bill has given the world hope. The world's largest economy has put action on climate change at the top of its economic agenda. While representing action on climate, the bill is officially known as the Inflation Reduction Act. The Americans have got it. The business of climate change is the business of the future, a multi-trillion-dollar investment opportunity.
The bill contains ~$60bn in tax credits for renewable energy, including biomethane (renewable natural gas). The American Biogas Council says the bill "demonstrates that policymakers are starting to understand the vital role biogas plays as Americans become less dependent on fossil fuels".
Meanwhile, Europe is seeking to turbocharge biogas development to replace Russian gas imports and achieve energy and food security, and tackle methane emissions as a signatory to the global methane pledge. The European Commission has set a target to have biomethane to meet 12% of gas demand by 2030.
Biogas plant construction is now a vital part of China's 'rural revitalisation strategy', driven by an urgent need to replace coal and restore soils through the nutrient management anaerobic digestion enables.
The UN says $4 trillion a year needs to be invested in renewable energy until 2030. It has also called on all nations to come to COP27 in November with stronger plans to achieve net zero, ahead of a global stocktake in 2023. McKinsey report cash invested into sustainable funds now stands at around $2.5trn.
This is a pivotal moment. The transition has started, and the potential of biogas has been recognised across the globe. Now people want to know what the best systems and processes are to harness the dividends this technology delivers.
The World Biogas Expo and Summit 2023 is their one-stop shop to achieving this.

What Is... An Aspherical Element?
by Matt Golowczynski 15 October 2014
Aspherical elements are used widely inside lenses to help improve image quality – Matt Golowczynski explains why.
Photographic lenses are made up of a series of smaller lenses, commonly referred to as elements. Some lenses may offer just five or six of these elements while telephoto optics can reach to 20 and beyond; if you've ever picked up a professional lens with a focal length of 300mm or higher, you may already appreciate this.
The size of these elements will typically vary throughout the lens, as will their shape. Each will have either a concave or convex profile depending on its role, and many will be spherical in shape. Many lenses, however, contain at least one 'aspherical' element – simply, one that is not perfectly spherical.
Sigma's 10-20mm f3.5 EX DC HSM contains four aspherical elements
So what exactly do these do? Aspherical elements present many benefits for both the lens manufacturer and the photographer. Manufacturers can use them to give a lens a larger aperture than would be otherwise possible and, as these elements can replicate the effects of a number of spherical elements, they can result in a smaller and more compact optic.
Aspherical elements work by varying the angle of refraction for light rays passing through the peripheries of the lens in order to focus these rays at the same point as those in the centre (the optical axis). As the diagram below shows, this is something spherical lenses struggle to achieve. By doing so, they help control a number of aberrations, such as the image-softening effect known as spherical aberration, which is particularly problematic at wider apertures. This in turn improves resolution, meaning that you should see more detail in the final image.
Spherical elements struggle to bring all light rays passing through the lens to focus at the same point. Aspherical elements change the angle of refraction for peripheral rays to help correct this
Aspherical elements are also used to control an effect known as coma, where images display a comet-like flare, and curvilinear distortion in wideangle lenses, where subjects take on a barrel-like appearance. The latter effect is particularly noticeable when photographing architecture or any other subjects with linear details, although it's also often objectionable when shooting subjects close-up, particularly portraits.
Subjects like these easily show the effect of a type of curvilinear distortion known as barrel distortion. This effect can be managed by the use of aspherical elements and/or software.
So far so good, although one side effect of this correction is that this distortion may not be quite evenly corrected, which can translate into a slight waviness in scene details. In most images you're unlikely to notice this, although, again, architectural details may make this apparent. This may be more difficult to correct with everyday software packages that only offer basic controls over distortion, although software that recognises the characteristics of a particular lens may be able to rectify this without too much hassle.

Watershed Protection: The Cyan Movement
In order to bring awareness, to drive social change and start conversations about water conservation, we launched the CYAN movement in 2010 with three pillars: bring awareness of the theme, preservation and recuperation, and education and engagement.
The watershed protection comes with the aim to recover and preserve important river basins in the country. Our mission is to assist in the recovery and preservation of important river basins of the country. Through a comprehensive diagnosis of each basin, we gathered a serial partners and we draw a site plan with actions that include environmental education, ecological restoration, conservation practices and PSA (Payment for Environmental Services).
We started in the watershed stream Crispim, in Brasilia, and with the WWF Brazil had important achievements. The Project also arrived in Sete Lagoas (MG) with WWF Brazil
We have also partnered with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to establish a watershed restoration program in the drought-stricken Jaguariúna region, which supplies water to the greater São Paulo area as well as our local facility. Large-scale deforestation in the area has negatively affected the watershed. Without the critical plant root systems to hold topsoil in place, hundreds of thousands of tons of sediment are released into the Jaguari River every year. This reduces the water volume of the river, which is near capacity, strains local water supplies and limits economic growth.
The project scaled with a green infrastructure project with TNC, called Project Bacias Jaguariuna and was launched in 2013. The project aims to better manage important Brazilian water basins and improve the quality and quantity of water available. We are collaborating with local stakeholders like the Jaguariúna Bureau of the Environment, the Brazilian National Water Agency and Sao Paulo Road Development Public Limited Company. Together, we have devoted financial and technical resources to conservation projects, reforestation of riverbank vegetation and soil conservation techniques.
For example, in 2015, we started working with five local landowners at farms within the basin that cover one third of the pilot area that we initially mapped. Through the program, we provide farmers and landowners financial incentives, known as Payment for Environmental Services (PES), that encourage environmentally responsible land management and the conservation of natural resources in order to prevent erosion and sediments. We are continuing work to recover the initial 100 hectares (50% of the total in the original pilot area) of degraded areas and local forests and to preserve 120 hectares (40% of the total from the original pilot area) of forests remnants.
In light of a recent drought that impacted the region, this is an ambitious and timely project. Our goals are to raise awareness about the importance of investing in green infrastructure as part of watershed management and to bring together critical partners needed to scale the project into the rest of the Jaguari River basin. In the future, we intend to provide additional technical support, continue our community engagement and call for project proposals from rural landowners.
By collaborating with a variety of partners and considering the full spectrum of stakeholders, we have been able to simultaneously align efforts and leverage available resources to make a larger impact. We are now replicating this model across our company in other water-stressed areas – because only through coordinated collective action can we mitigate long-term risks and protect water supplies for all.
