After 1B Umpire Chris Segal ruled Giants batter Matt Duffy's liner foul down the first base line, skipper Bruce Bochy requested and received a crew chief review, setting off a chain of "review this, not that" machinations back at MLB Advanced Media headquarters in New York. To set the scene, Duffy, in pursuit of a cycle, ripped a line drive at Rockies first baseman Wilin Rosario, whose glove may or may not have made contact with the baseball before it fell to the ground near the foul line just past Segal's position.
But before we get to Duffy, we turn to Andy Fletcher and Jon Lester in Chicago. After walking Dodgers batter AJ Ellis on an inside pitch, Lester drew the ire of plate umpire Andy Fletcher, who marched out to the mound as Cubs catcher David Ross stepped in front of Fletcher until skipper Joe Maddon picked up the issue. After a brief argument, zero ejections, and a total delay of about 75 seconds, play resumed with none out and one on in the top of the second. Los Angeles ultimately won the contest, shutting out the Cubbies 4-0.
Back to Replay....MLB's strictly regulated Replay Review system specifies exactly which plays or calls are and are not reviewable via video instant replay. Replay Review regulation V. outlines the only calls eligible for Replay Review and, relative to the play at hand, include "Calls involving a decision regarding whether a batted ball was 'A FOUL BALL,' within the meaning of the Official Baseball Rule's Definition of Terms (formerly Rule 2.00) but only with respect to balls that first land at or beyond the set positions of the first or third base Umpire." Regulation V.C. goes on to address the specific case of an infielder (in our play, F3 Rosario) who attempts to field a line drive: "Line drives fielded by a defensive player in the infield and balls that first land in front of the set positions of the first or third base Umpire shall not be subject to review."
B1 Duffy hits a line drive down the first base line as F3 Rosario attempts to field it (and may or may not have touched it in fair or foul territory), which subsequently lands on the dirt behind U1 Segal's position and in either fair or foul territory.
This likewise answers the Rockies' broadcasters question as to why crew chief Greg Gibson, acting in place of the injured Jim Joyce, convened the crew to discuss the play ("Moreover, prior to the initiation of a Replay Review, the Umpires may confer among themselves at any time and change any call (whether or not the call is reviewable) in accordance with Official Baseball Rule 8.02 (formerly Rule 9.02)" [Reg. II.A]).
Replays indicate the ball landed in foul territory beyond Segal's position, the reviewable aspect of this play was officiated properly. Replays are inconclusive as to whether F3 Rosario touched the baseball.


Move For Hunger is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that mobilizes the relocation industry to fight hunger and reduce food waste.
People tend to throw a lot of "stuff" away when they move, including perfectly good food. As part of Move For Hunger's national network of relocation professionals, Imlach & Collins Brothers provides their customers with the opportunity to donate unopened, non-perishable food during the moving process and volunteers to deliver the donations to the local food bank, free of charge.
Imlach & Collins Brothers' partnership with Move For Hunger also led to their participation in the North Texas Food Bank's Food 4 Kids program. Students who receive free or reduced-cost meals at school often face hunger during the weekend. Food 4 Kids provides at-risk children with backpacks full of nutritious, non-perishable food to take home on Fridays during the school year. Once a month, Imlach & Collins Brothers sends a truck and two crew members to pick up and deliver the backpacks to three different school districts in the Dallas area.
More than 42 million Americans, including 1 in 6 children, are food insecure – they lack reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. Meanwhile, 40 percent of all the food produced in the U.S. each year ends up in a landfill or is left to rot in a field. Imlach & Collins Brothers recognized the tragedy of so much food going to waste when so many people don't have enough to eat, and joined Move For Hunger in 2012 to help provide meals to their neighbors in need.
There are more than 850 moving companies in the Move For Hunger network, but Imlach and Collins Brothers is one of just two that have delivered more than 400,000 meals.
Move For Hunger mobilizes the relocation industry to fight hunger and reduce food waste. In addition to collecting food from people who are moving to new homes, Move For Hunger helps companies and individuals across the United States and Canada organize successful food drives. To date, they have collected more than 10 million pounds of food. For more information, or to find out how you can host your own food drive, visit http://www.moveforhunger.org/.
Headquartered in Dallas, Imlach & Collins Brothers, LLC offers elite moving services, including corporate relocation, government and industrial relocation to specialized transportation and personal moving services. Imlach & Collins Brothers, LLC has served as an Atlas Van Lines agent since 1951 and operates as one of its largest hauling providers. For more information, visit https://imlachcollins.com/.
Atlas Van Lines, a national moving company, is the largest subsidiary of Atlas World Group, an Evansville, Ind.-based company. Atlas World Group companies employ nearly 700 people throughout North America. Nearly 500 Atlas interstate moving agents in the United States and Canada specialize in corporate relocation, household moving services and in the specialized transportation of high-value items such as electronics, fine art, store fixtures and furniture.

Modern Hindu Groups and Leaders
Arya Samaj, Bhaktivedanta Swami, hare krishna, pushti marg, ramakrishna, swami narayana
Main Groups in the UK
There are many different Hindu groups in the UK, and it would be misleading to consider one as more representative than another. Nonetheless, while keeping this in mind, it is important to know and teach about the main ones, briefly described below.
Swami Narayana Mission
Swami Narayana Hindus are largely from Gujarat and follow teachers in the line from Sahajananda Swami (1781–1830), considered by his followers as an incarnation of God. The group claims heritage from the Shri Sampradaya of Vaishnavism. There are now various Swami Narayana sampradayas reflecting different views on the identity of the guru and the genuine line of succession. The largest is the Swami Narayana Mission, whose current leader is Pramukh Swami (right) and whose centre is a magnificent traditional temple in Neasden, London. Another major group, looking to the leadership of Acharya Tejendraprasad Pande, is based in Willesden Lane, London.
The Hare Krishna Movement (ISKCON)
The International Society for Krishna Consciousness is a strand of Gaudiya (Bengali) Vaishnavism following the bhakti saint Chaitanya (1486–1534), considered an incarnation of Radha and Krishna. He opposed the rigid caste system by widely popularising the congregational chanting of the Hare Krishna Mantra and by creating brahmanas from those born of lower varnas. His theology was developed by the Six Goswamis of Vrindavana and consolidated by Baladeva. The Bengali saint, Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who appeared in the line of succession from Chaitanya, founded ISKCON in 1966. The Society's UK Headquarters are at Bhaktivedanta Manor in Hertfordshire.
Ramakrishna Mission
The Ramakrishna Mission was founded by the Bengali saint, Vivekananda Swami (1863–1902) in the name of his guru, Ramakrishna (1836–1886). It teaches the advaita version of Vedanta coming from Shankara. It is headed by a well-disciplined and organised body of sannyasis. It is still particularly popular in Bengal. Its UK Headquarters is near Slough in Berkshire.
Pushti Marg
The Pushti Marg (path of nourishment) tradition descends from the bhakti revivalist Vallabha (1479–1531). Its followers worship Krishna in his form as an infant and as Nathji, holding up the Govardhana Hill. Most of its members are from the Lohana jati (community) from Gujarat. They believe that entering the Lord's nitya-lila (eternal pastimes) is a higher goal then even liberation. They are largely represented by a group called the Shree Vallabha Nidhi. There are several successions from Vallabha, and a popular guru who visits Britain regularly is a lady called Indira Bettiji.
The Arya Samaj
Members of the Arya Samaj follow the teachings of the reformer Dayananda Sarasvati (1824–1883) who rejected the practices of caste and murti worship. The main ceremony performed is the havan (sacred fire) ceremony. The Arya Samaj remain influential worldwide and in Britain, where most followers come from the Punjabi community.
Visiting Holy People
Many holy people from India regularly visit the UK. Murari Bapu (right), who speaks from the Ramayana, is most popular with worshippers of Rama. Rameshbai Oza is famous for his bhagavat-katha, a recital of the Bhagavat Purana (see The Puranas) which usually lasts seven days and is attended by thousands. Many other sadhus (holy men) frequently visit the UK. Many temples also rely on India for priests to perform their regular worship. Musicians, dancers, and other performers also regularly visit Britain.
Other Hindu and Hindu-related Groups
There are several organisations which do not always classify themselves as Hindu but which are somehow related. These include the Satya Sai Baba Organisation, headed by Sai Baba. He was born in 1926 in India and is considered a reincarnation of the saint Kabir. The organisation understands itself as a spiritual organisation which embraces all faiths. It has centres throughout the world.
Transcendental Meditation rose to popularity in the 1960s under the leadership of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (right). He taught mantrameditation that remains popular today. Many other Hindu-related groups became popular during the same period, including Rajneesh (1931–1990), whose movement is now called "Osho." The numerous yoga organisations in Britain also derive much theory and practice from Hindu scripture. A popular group is The Divine Life Society with its Shivananda Vedanta Yoga Centres.
Representative Groups
There is no single representative organisation for Hindus in the UK, though the National Council for Hindu Temples (NCHT) has perhaps the widest membership. In 1994 it was instrumental in forming the Hindu Council of the UK, which now appears to be becoming a leading voice for Hindus in the UK. The national branch of the VHP (Vishva Hindu Parishad) has centres throughout the UK. There are also regional umbrella groups and numerous groups based on caste, regional, or linguistic affiliations, or performing some type of charity work.
Other Prominent Groups and Centres
There are many other organisations in the UK. For details of further groups, please consult Religions In The UK – A Multi-faith Directory published by The University of Derby in conjunction with the Interfaith Network.

Today I am going to cover a couple of different way you can add Social Bookmarking to your WordPress blog. Most everyone want their blog or website pages to be shared with the community at large and one great way to accomplish this is to add some buttons to your site to make it as easy as possible for your readers to share what they find on your site with others.
Why would you want to add this to your site? Well the biggest reason is to help your readers share what you have to say with the world by adding either of the plugins discussed here you will be able to add some great interaction to your website and encourage the sharing of information with others.
The two main plugins that I have tested out are Digg Digg and Sociable. Both these plugins work well but take different paths to accomplish similar goals. The biggest difference between the two is that with Digg Digg you will get large icons on your posts and with Sociable you will get a nice row of small icons linking off to the social websites. See the image below for a comparison of the different icons.
Installing them is a breeze if you are on a properly configured web server, as I recently discovered when working on a clients website hosted on a different server. Not all servers are created equal and not all installations of WordPress allow for instant install and updates.
So if you are lucky enough to have instant easy install simply go to the add new link under your plugins menu and do a search for the following plugins "sociable" & "Digg Digg" once you locate them simply install them into your site.
Now you need to configure them to show the buttons you want shown on your WordPress website. With Sociable, you get a choice from 99 different bookmark sites. I do not recommend choosing them all but choose about 5 to 10 of your favorites. They will show on your site as in the image above.
With Digg Digg you only get a choice of 11 social bookmark sites but they are the most desired ones available. You make the settings for Digg Digg as shown in the image below. One of the issues with Digg Digg is that you only get a choice of 2 sizes for most not all icons and the larger ones are the best. So if you're looking for something with smaller icons then sociable is what you want. They will show up on you site as shown in the image above.
I have opted on this site to use the Digg Digg plug in simply because I like the larger icons and don't want at this time the extended choices from Sociable. Your mileage may vary experiment with them both on your site to see what you prefer and what your users may like.

'Hillary' Film Review: Hulu Doc Offers a Rich, Layered Look at a Life of Political Ambition
Nanette Burstein's four-part portrait of Hillary Clinton offers an in-depth look for supporters and detractors alike
Todd Gilchrist | March 5, 2020 @ 11:10 AM
Literal volumes have been written about Hillary Clinton — her accomplishments, controversies and contradictions — and if Nanette Burstein's documentary "Hillary" is to be believed, all of them are at least partially correct.
By itself, Clinton's life and legacy offer a Rorschach test for the last 40 years of geopolitics, gender roles and social mores. But Burstein's film examines both her actions and the world's reactions through a uniquely humanistic perspective, simultaneously setting up an intimate look at a person everyone thinks they know, and an almost "Forrest Gump"-esque chronicle of decades of social change filtered through her own accomplishments and setbacks.
Told over four meticulously-researched hours (quartered for broadcasting on Hulu), "Hillary" sympathetically looks at Clinton as an everywoman of the Baby Boomer generation, required to manage and accommodate the expectations of the world around her, while trying to navigate her own evolving aspirations. In the 1960s, she was a bra-burning feminist whose fight for social change was regarded as adorable (if at all) by male colleagues and counterparts. In the '70s and '80s, she made an uneasy peace playing surrogate and supporter to husband Bill, while carving out quiet accomplishments in the background of his ambitions.

The 1990s demanded more of the same, along with more scrutiny after Bill defeated George H.W. Bush in 1992, ushering in a literal new generation of public servants as well as an explosive increase in their coverage by the media. The Whitewater "scandal," Bill's liaison with Monica Lewinsky, Hillary's Benghazi controversy, and both of her campaigns for president get explored in detail that might seem cruel if she herself and those within her closest circle at the time of each event weren't providing a running commentary about what was true, what wasn't, and what it all meant for one of the world's most identifiable women.
Notwithstanding the chapter divides for each hourlong segment, Burstein's transitions from one topic to the next are absolutely seamless; though she frames Clinton's biography with a timeline of her 2016 Presidential run, the documentarian shifts from distant to recent past and back again so skillfully that it takes a moment to remember how as a viewer you went from, say, the second debate with Trump to her '90s healthcare campaign even as it all congeals into a meaningful whole.

At the same time, the seeming completeness of Burstein's portrait affords opportunities both to see different sides of this very public figure and to reinforce long-held perceptions at the same time, in the service of the inevitable conclusion that all of Clinton's various parts add up to more and less than the whole you're imagining.
Burstein's fortune is to some degree the former secretary of state's bad luck, because not only did the filmmaker receive hundreds of hours of footage from the '16 campaign trail, but she also uncovered literal decades' worth of archival footage of her subject giving speeches and making public appearances. Consequently, there are inevitable contradictions about matters of language, policy and position, the sort of thing that would highlight the practiced duplicity of a politician in more manipulative hands.
But Burstein uses those juxtapositions to reveal the opposite: Clinton's vulnerability even as she's attempting to explain, contain or repair a situation. That she occasionally turns combative in debates or interviews — a quality undoubtedly celebrated in a male counterpart — is a reflection of the lifelong struggle to assert her strength and identity, and also to do so in a way that's conciliatory or unthreatening to a judgmental public.
Also Read: Hillary Clinton on How She 'Became a Kind of Rorschach Test for Women'
Further to that end, the film also shrewdly (if not too subtly) offers a referendum on politicians or public figures' relationship with the media in an era of the 24-hour news cycle. She and Bill weren't just the first Boomers to take the highest office in the land, they were also the first politicians to achieve such a high level of success at a time when news coverage became ubiquitous and merciless, willing to repeat and rehash and speculate about choices both good and bad until they become abstractions, just to fill air time. The likes of Lee Atwater and Karl Rove actively turned politics into gamesmanship for their own destructive gain, but the media transformed that into public entertainment, and the Clintons were forced into a dubious "stardom" they couldn't escape or, as they quickly learned, control for very long.
Hour Three, "The Hardest Decision," is really where contemporary audiences will either most strongly identify with Clinton's journey or step away from Burstein's portrait, as it explores controversies more recent, and relevant, to world events. But like a focus group that was actually once held to litigate her likeability, "Hillary" sorts through everything that fans or critics know about in order to make them just plain understand her better. How must it feel to spend one's whole life repressing your own goals in order to support someone else's, or worse, to satisfy the limitations of entrenched, outdated beliefs? Or to adapt to the world's expectations, only for it to judge and punish you for doing so?
The Clintons, like most politicians, are complex figures, driven by forces both inside and around them. But as a man, Bill at least had the luxury of defining his own path. Hillary's, for better or often for worse, was shaped by what the world thought she could or should achieve. Entering the public consciousness at the moment that she did, her greatest accomplishment was being a woman who accepted that her ambition was exceptional so that when time and opportunity came for others to follow in her footsteps, theirs wouldn't be.
Suffice it to say it's hard to encapsulate a person who not only impacted so many lives but also evoked so many different responses from the world for her ambition. But, at the very least, "Hillary" gives both her critics and defenders a fuller portrait to draw upon for their opinions.
9 Stars Who Couldn't Cut It as Murphy Brown's Secretary, From Hillary Clinton to JFK Jr (Photos)
"Murphy Brown" has returned to television on CBS for 13 episodes, with the new season premiere airing to modest ratings on Thursday. While a lot has changed in media since Candice Bergen's Brown hosted the fictional news broadcast "FYI," one thing that hasn't changed is how hard it is to find good help. One of the show's longest recurring gags was how nearly every week Brown had a wacky and incompetent new secretary, everyone from a man with a Hitler mustache to a pleasant looking woman who worshiped Satan. More than 90 people sat in that assistant's chair over the show's 10 seasons, including some celebrity cameos, but not one of them lasted.
Paul Reubens
Pee-Wee Herman himself helped out Murphy Brown, appearing in six episodes of the show as Stan Lansing's nephew.
Before Marcia Wallace was Edna Krabappel on "The Simpsons," Wallace had a part on "The Bob Newhart Show" as Bob Hartley's dynamo of a receptionist Carol Bondurant. During a special crossover episode of "Murphy Brown," Carol proved to be Brown's best secretary ever, a real keeper. But at the end of the episode, Bob rushes into the office and begs for Carol to come back and work for him, despite Brown's pleading.
John Kennedy Jr.
You can hear the women in the live audience swooning when it's revealed that John John is Brown's latest secretary. "I guess the lawyer thing didn't work out," Brown jokes. He wasn't there to work, but to drop off a "wedding present" that was just a fake cover of the magazine he edited, "George."
When Kramer (Michael Richards) heads out to Los Angeles on an episode of "Seinfeld," Jerry and Elaine spot him on an episode of "Murphy Brown" as another new secretary. His rapid-fire typing is hysterical, and the show even teases that she has "a good feeling" about him.
Murphy Brown would've been lucky to have fellow single-mother Norma Rae as her secretary, or better yet her "Absence of Malice" journalist Megan Carter, but instead she got Kathleen Dubek, secretary 91.
The final season of "Murphy Brown" featured a cavalcade of celebrity cameos, including Rosie O'Donnell as a particularly annoying singing secretary.
Rickles would've been in his 70s by the time he stepped into the secretary job during the show's final season.
In the show's stellar finale, Bette Midler took charge as secretary Caprice Feldman. "Caprice! With two Cs, interlocking like Chanel!" Her wealthy socialite type was always told by her (dead) husband that she could never hold down a job. Well, she picked one with quite the track record.
At least the former First Lady has some experience as a "secretary," telling Murphy Brown in the revival's season premiere that she worked as one for four years in a "very large organization." Not only that, she boasted that she's "qualified, and I'm ready on day one." She even joked she has "some experience with emails."
No matter how famous, no secretary lasted long on the CBS sitcom


The Bundanoon Community Association have hosted a Hume candidates' forum in Bundanoon, at which the candidates addressed a variety of national and local policy issues.
Six of the nine candidates contesting the seat attended the forum, which allowed them an opportunity to make a statement and respond to a series of questions. In the order in which they presented (following a random draw), the candidates were: Zaza Chevalier (Greens); Michael Pilbrow (Labor); James Harker-Mortlock (Independent); Angus Taylor (Liberal); Bruce Nicholson (Katter's Party); Lynette Styles (One Nation).
Each candidate was afforded five minutes to make a prepared statement, followed by a question from the moderator.
Labor's Michael Pilbrow spent much of the night emphasising that he is representing Country Labor, and isn't part of the old guard involved in recent corruption hearings in Sydney. He talked about his experience in a wide variety of community-based organisations, and in establishing a patient-owned health cooperative in the ACT. Pilbrow has extensive experience in the public service, having worked for AusAID for some years. Pilbrow said his philosophy is that government is not the answer to everything and that governments must work with communities to solve big problems. "DisabilityCare is one of those great Labor reforms that allows people to get what they need when they need it most.
The One Nation candidate Lynette Styles said the major problems are loss of confidence in the economy, leading to a lack of investment and businesses closing down. She took aim at multinationals "such as Coles and Woolworths and Bunnings" and said she wanted answers on where the major party candidates stood on social issues like gay marriage, euthanasia, homelessness and affordable housing. Styles said the NBN wasn't really an issue for people while things like the rising cost of living and affordable housing remained unresolved.
I'll address the questions posed by the audience in another post.

Apple reveals the next generation of the iPhone
Philip "Phil" Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple, speaks during an event in San Francisco on Wednesday. Apple unveiled new iPhone models Wednesday, featuring a water-resistant design, upgraded camera system and faster processor, betting that after six annual iterations it can still make improvements enticing enough to lure buyers to their next upgrade.

Apple unveiled its new iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Wednesday, highlighting a lot of under-the-hood changes to its most important product.
Eschewing a major design change, which many Apple watchers think is coming next year at the 10-year anniversary of the ubiquitous smartphone, the consumer electronics giant instead said its smartphone will offer better battery life, water resistance, and a more powerful camera. On the iPhone 7 Plus, Apple's largest model, the smartphone includes a second camera that acts as a telephoto lens.
Apple's most controversial move was removing the headphone jack. Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing, said the phones will now include headphones that connect to the lightning jack, which also charges the phone. Also, in a mild surprise, Apple announced its first new product – wireless ear buds called "AirPods." The new devices detect when users are switching from, say, an iPhone or an iPad and can summon Apple's artificial intelligence assistant, Siri, by touching the outside of the ear bud. They feature five hours of battery life and are housed in a case that can charge them further, even on the go. The AirPods retail for $159 and will be available in October.
The new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are priced at $649 and $769 respectively with 32 gigabytes of active memory. That is twice the memory of Apple's previous base models. The company also introduced a new jet-black color that will only come in 128 and 256 gigabyte versions. Preorders begin on Friday with shipping beginning a week later.
The company's Apple Watch was also updated for the first time since it was introduced in 2014. Company executives claimed it would be "swim proof" and added that the Apple Watch now makes more revenue than any other watch brand in the world except Rolex. The "Series 2" Apple Watch will also offer GPS and a better processor and will be available in a special Nike-branded edition. The original watch will continue to be on shelves for $269. The Series 2 retails for $369.
The design of the Apple Watch, at least in appearance, is nearly identical to the first version. And in many ways, Apple devoted the first part of its presentation to what its hardware could do, rather than on new designs.
Apple made several overtures to runners and swimmers – and made pointed remarks about mobile gaming. Indeed, early in its presentation, Apple invited Niantic chief executive John Hanke, whose company created the hit game Pokémon Go, to show off a new Pokémon Go app just for Apple Watch. And Nintendo made an appearance to announce a long-awaited Super Mario game for the iPhone.
As the event came to a close, the stock market seemed unimpressed with what the company had to show. Apple's stood at $107.26, a little more than half a percentage point from the opening stock price of $107.83. But the stock ticked up at market close to $108.38.

Forget Brexit! Why I'd buy shares in this cash-rich small-cap company
Is it time to buy shares in this Neil Woodford-backed 5%-yielder?
Kevin Godbold | Tuesday, 27th November, 2018 | More on: TPT
I wrote about Topps Tiles (LSE: TPT) in October when the firm released its positive full-year trading update. The shares were up around 10% on the day and I speculated that Neil Woodford would have been pleased because he had a chunk of the shares in his Woodford Income Focus Fund.
Today, the firm revealed its full-year results report, which puts meat on the bones of the last update. In the period between the two news releases, the share price has been volatile, which isn't surprising given the convulsions in the wider market. However, despite bouncing up and down a bit, the stock has held its own and is close to the level it was at the beginning of October. I see that as positive because many small-cap shares have plunged by 30% or more.
Operational and share-price volatility
Topps Tiles is perhaps one of the most cyclical firms you could invest in. I reckon tiles would be on the list of the first things that people will remove from their domestic budgets in tough economic times. It's often easy to postpone the refurbishment of a kitchen or a bathroom, which means the incoming cash flow and profits for the firm can ebb and flow. Looking at the firm's financial record reveals the operational volatility. Adjusted earnings per share rose 22% in the trading year to September 2014, 23% in 2015, 8% in 2016, and the declining trend continued into 2017 with a 14% fall. Today, the firm reported another fall at 13% for 2018 and City analysts following it expect a further decline of 2% in earnings for the year to September 2019.
It has been a case of two steps forward and then two back again, which has led to the stock languishing where it is. But one outcome is that the valuation looks low and the dividend yield high, at 5% or so, which seems to be one of the main things that attracted Neil Woodford. He said recently that he believes domestic companies are unloved and undervalued because they are already pricing in an overly bleak scenario for the UK's economic future. My guess is that he would consider Topps Tiles as fitting that category.
The chief executive Matthew Williams said in the report that the firm had doubled its market following the September 2017 acquisition of Parkside Ceramics, which operates in the commercial sector rather than in the domestic sector. The overall market has been challenging during the year, but Williams points to "market-leading" gross margins in the retail division as one of the positives, although sales were flat year-on-year.
Mixed outlook
Looking forward, he is "cautious" and said that the new trading year has been "challenging" so far. Like-for-like sales in the first eight weeks "have been negative against a strong prior year comparator." However, he is optimistic about the longer-term outlook for expansion in the commercial division.
The business looks like it is under strain to me. Whereas the dividend and valuation look attractive at first glance, I'm mindful that out-and-out cyclical firms 'always' look at their most attractive when they are at their most dangerous. I don't share Neil Woodford's enthusiasm for the stock and I remain cautious on Topps Tiles.

Q: Text Editor which tells the index of the cursor position I need a text editor which tells me the position of the cursor (so I can determine ranges of text to then load into strings). Unfortunately the text editors ive tried (TextWrangler, Aquamacs, EditPad) only tell me the line number the cursor is on, and the character index on that line. I need the index from the beginning of the file to that point - ie the absolute index. Any recommendations for an editor (or a technique im missing in the editors ive already got) which can tell me this?

A: If you select some text in TextWrangler you will find 3 numbers at the bottom right of the screen.
The first says how many characters are selected, the second how many words and the last how many lines.
If you select everything from the beginning of the file until the position you are interested in, the first number will give you what you want.

A: Emacs and Vim tell you. If you have Aquamacs, it's probably just as case of setting it up to show in your modeline:

As you can see - my modeline shows that the caret is on line 3, column 8 -> the (3,8)

A: Just as the above answers show, you can drop a string in Notepad or Notepad++ and view the position.

How will the Kings address their roster imbalance?
If the Kings are serious about ending their playoff drought, their wing depth must improve.
By Leo Tochterman@leo_toch Aug 13, 2021, 12:15pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: How will the Kings address their roster imbalance?
Jeffrey Swinger-USA TODAY Sports
In the modern NBA, where talent at the wing position is the most-coveted luxury year in, year out, the Sacramento Kings have remained on the outside looking in during the majority of their 15-year playoff drought. Unfortunately, this year will be no different.
As it stands today, the Kings have two wing players on their roster with any modicum of NBA experience in Harrison Barnes and Moe Harkless. Barnes had a solid season for the Kings in 2020-21, and Harkless was a fine contributor following a deadline deal from Miami, but if the Kings go into the season with Harkless and Barnes as their only NBA quality wings, they are in for a rude awakening.
Aside from Barnes and Harkless, the Kings have two players — Louis King and Robert Woodard — who are wing-sized, but they have less than 200 combined NBA minutes between the two of them. Woodard is on a guaranteed contract for the 2021-22 season, but he's looked completely lost in his summer league minutes, while King is intriguing but is currently on a two-way with the team.
Had the proposed Buddy Hield for Kyle Kuzma and Montrezl Harrell trade gone through, the Kings could have felt some sense of comfort in their wing position, with Kuzma playing big minutes, but for whatever reason, that trade didn't go through, leaving wing depth as a major need for Sacramento. On the opposite side of the spectrum is their center and guard depth.

The Kings currently have five centers, Richaun Holmes, Alex Len, Tristan Thompson, Neemias Queta, Damian Jones, and two guys who played some center last season in Marvin Bagley and Chimezie Metu. They also have seven guys whose primary position is guard, De'Aaron Fox, Tyrese Haliburton, Davion Mitchell, Buddy Hield, Terrance Davis, Jahmi'us Ramsey, and Justin James (who might not have his option picked up).
There are still two months left in the NBA offseason, so this can clearly change, but something has to give. As it stands, there aren't enough minutes to go around if the Kings are expecting Davion Mitchell to play a significant role as a rookie but also expect Hield, Haliburton, and Fox to play over 30 minutes a game.
It's likely that the Kings rely heavily on three-guard lineups that include three of Fox, Haliburton, Mitchell, and Hield, but even still, there aren't enough minutes to go around. It's tough to imagine rookie Davion Mitchell playing more than 20 minutes a game with the roster in its current state.
In terms of team that want to compete for the playoffs, the Kings might have the worst wing situation in the NBA. At a certain point, Monte McNair and the front office are going to need to address this.
It's possible that the Kings' front office is playing the waiting game on potentially available guys like Pascal Siakam and Ben Simmons, but if those don't come to fruition, the Kings will still need to address their lack of guys between 6'6 and 6'9, which might be easier said than done with the uninspiring crop of free agent wings.
A guy like Josh Hart would help, but the Kings would likely have to surrender talent in a sign-and-trade. Hart is also only 6'5, so he wouldn't exactly address their need for size on the wing. Other than Hart, no one currently available on the free-agent market moves the needle even in the slightest.
What happens if a guy like Barnes gets sidelined for an extended period? Will the team soley rely on three-guard lineups or is Moe Harkless going to play 30 minutes a game? Neither of those options are enticing for Sacramento and their playoff hopes.
There is still time for this to be addressed, but the clock is ticking.
If the Kings are truly serious about breaking their 15-year playoff drought, then they simply cannot run this imbalanced roster out on opening night in October.

NARVÁEZ Francisco
Porlamar, Venezuela, October 4, 1905
Caracas, Venezuela, July 7, 1982
Francisco Narváez began his education at his father's workshop and continued it at the Academia de Bellas Artes in Caracas (1922-1928) and the Académie Julian in Paris (1928-1931). Returning to Caracas, he began to search for a sculptural form that could integrate Venezuelan subjects and modern expression, thus placing himself as a leading figure of the criollista movement. His were characterized by vernacular motifs and sensuality of form and volume. Several of them were designed for public places, including the fountains at the Parque Carabobo (1933) and the Plaza O' Leary (Las Toninas, 1943) in Caracas, as well as the great wood statues he produced for the World's Fair (1939) in New York, today they are displayed at the Liceo Fermín Toro and the Liceo Andrés Bello, in Caracas. In 1941, Narváez received the Premio Nacional de Escultura, and, in 1948, the Premio Nacional de Pintura. His established him as a leader of modernism in Venezuela. Beginning in 1949, he participated in Carlos Raul Villanueva's project at the Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas. The monumental stone statue El atleta, located in the Olympic Stadium, 1951, marked the culmination of this creative period.
Narváez embarked on a new direction known as "new forms," represented at the Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas by the bronze sculpture called La Cultura (1954) and in the works included in the exhibition Formas nuevas y Raices (Sala Mendoza, Caracas, 1956-1957). Anecdotal contentent tended to disappear while the human figure became more streamlined and the precision of its depiction diminished although vague references to its anatomy persist as his works approached organic abstraction. It was not, however, a linear evolution. Narváez approached and moved away time and time again from the abstract form, and in the most ambiguous territories, he produced the masterpieces of the period, among them the sculpture Figura Acéfala (1966).
In the series Ochavados, presented at the exhibition Maderas y piedras ochavadas (Sala Mendoza, 1970), the figure was represented in a simple way and the material gained importance. Convinced that the action of carving and the use of certain materials created their own speech, Narváez adopted abstraction. Thus began his work called "volumes," in which he used large blocks of heavy material that took on the appearance of ancestral monoliths. At this time, he also reproduced in bronze some of his abstract stone and wood pieces. As the media changed the works became something akin to conceptual art. His last great sculptures for public spaces were El Gran Volumen/ Energía (Amuay, 1981) and Armonía de volúmenes y espacios (Estación La Hoyada, Metro de Caracas, 1982).
In 2005, on the occasion of the centenary of Narváez's birth, the Galería de Arte Nacional de Caracas presented an exhibition dedicated to the first stage of his career, titled Francisco Narváez. Figuración y expresión (1930-1950). En el centenario de su nacimiento.

Forma, 1956
18 7/8 x 13 x 6 5/16 in. (48 x 33 x 16 cm.)
Ciudad Universitaria de Caracas- Campus of the Central University of Venezuela, which was designed by the architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva. Construction began in 1944 and the campus was formally inaugurated in 1954, although works were ongoing for a long time after that. Villanueva developed within the boundaries of this masterpiece of modern architecture his personal vision of the Corbusian idea of a "synthesis of the arts," according to which man and his active involvement (rather than a simply expectant attitude) are the main links between architecture, sculpture and painting. In his project, Villanueva worked with Jean Arp, Alexander Calder, Armando Barrios, Omar Carreño, Carlos González Bogen, Henri Laurens, Fernand Léger, Mateo Manaure, Francisco Narváez, Pascual Navarro, Alejandro Otero, Víctor Valera and Victor Vasarely, among others.
Criollismo- This term, and the analogous nativism (both borrowed from literary criticism), are used in the history of Venezuelan art to refer to a figurative movement, mainly relative to sculpture, that focused on models of indigenous or African descent. It emerged in the 1920s, and its main exponents were Alejandro Colina and Francisco Narváez, although the latter integrated such autochthonous models with modern expression.

Issa Rae's first covid vaccine 'wiped me out, I'm talking about chills, body aches'
Issa Rae covers the latest issue of Vanity Fair to promote the fifth and final season of Insecure, her wildly popular and beloved HBO comedy. HBO/TimeWarner loves Issa, so as she was putting together the fifth season, they got her to sign a $40 million production deal to create content for them exclusively. She's only 36 and she already bought a building to house her production company and all of her side-projects. As always, I find Issa charming in interviews. She's very real and authentic and as she gets more and more famous, you can tell that she's still insisting on being grounded by family and friends. You can read the full cover profile here. Some highlights:
She wants Insecure to go out strong: "I'm finding myself putting season-one pressure back on the show again." She's even been rewatching Insecure from the beginning, which has been a complicated experience. "All these memories come up, so I can't watch it purely objectively. And then, of course, you look at performance stuff, you look at hair stuff, you look at appearance stuff. You're just like, Okay, wow, I went on TV like that?"
She'll never do an Insecure-like project again: "Girl, no! I'm never doing this again. Before you asked that question, I told myself I would never write and be in a show that I created again. It takes up a lot of your life, and I like to do a lot of things. I love doing this show. I'm so grateful to be able to do this show. But that's just not really for me."
Her first COVID vaccination: She got vaccinated at the Crenshaw Mall with a group of friends. "That sh-t has wiped me out. I'm talking about chills, body aches. It's not great. But yay, it means my immune system is good."
How she relaxes: Even sick, she woke up at 4 a.m.—as she does every morning—to go for a walk and attend to business in the quiet hours. Rae also clears her mind by writing in her journal at least three times a week. She tried therapy in the past but is holding off until she can safely meet someone in person after the pandemic. "I guess work has been my outlet, which is sad. Sometimes I'm like, Oh, I don't have anybody to talk to who understands. [But] I also never want to be in a position to offer up my problems to somebody."
She loves astrology: She's astrological in the sense that she checks out the app The Pattern for her horoscope from time to time and is fully aware of her Capricorn traits. Also, when I inform her that I'm a Scorpio, she has a question locked and loaded: "Do people tell you that you're crazy?"
Wanting to visit Senegal, her dad's birthplace: "I feel disconnected from it. I wanted to go back in 2020. That was going to be the year, and then that got derailed. But so much has changed… I would love to have a house there. I would love to take my future kids there, and maybe give them the same type of childhood and appreciation that my parents gave us."
[From Vanity Fair]
Capricorn! That makes sense, although she could probably be mistaken for a Virgo or Taurus. I love that she's into astrology and horoscopes, although VF mentions that she took pains to say she's not too into it. Yeah, I'm not so sure! I also love that she talks about getting vaxxed. Here's something I didn't know though: did you know she's engaged? She's engaged to Louis Diame, who is Senegalese and Vietnamese. They met in college. She keeps that info on the DL.
The back end of VF piece hypes Issa's future projects and I was super-interested in what she already has in development. She's producing a docuseries called Sweet Life about the Baldwin Hills neighborhood in LA, aka "the Black Beverly Hills." She's executive-producing A Black Lady Sketch Show (which is one of the funniest things on TV). And VF revealed this exclusive: Issa is rebooting Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's Project Greenlight for HBO. That show ended in 2016 in a disastrous season in which Matt Damon whitesplained diversity to producer Effie Brown. With Rae producing a reboot… I would imagine there will be much less of that kind of mess.

I have cousins that grew up in Baldwin Hills, and while it's a nice little neighborhood, I wouldn't call it "black Beverly Hills" either. Their parents were teachers. Made a good living but not even remotely wealthy. Because I've seen Beverly Hills neighborhoods as well and many of the homes are quite ostentatious.
Makes me wonder that most "black" neighborhoods in LA were so shit that a neighborhood that would be considered middle class anywhere else in America is "like Beverly Hills" to them.
KNy says:
She's so pretty and I NEED that green dress.
I had my first pfizer vaccine yesterday and I've had a small headache all day long. I'm telling myself it's a sign it's working. I hope it won't be worse for my second shot but it'll be worth it in any case. It's a huge relief. Anyway I remember when Issa started with Awkward Black Girl on youtube so I feel invested in her success. Seeing her thrive brings me joy.
mahcat says:
I had a full day out of action with the 1st dose of the AZ vaccine, fever, chills, horrible headache, but still better than catching covid.
Flffgrrrlr says:
I was ill for a whole week with AZ. Obviously incredibly pleased and grateful to have had it too – but honestly I've never experienced anything like it. The first 24 hours were the worst – weirdly, my legs really ached as well as horrible flu-like symptoms. It comforts me to know other people have had them too somehow – it seems quite common with AZ but most people are ok within 48 hours.
I LOVE HER SO MUCH. I want nothing but amazing things to happen to her & I also love how real she is in interviews. I will be sad when Insecure is over, but happy for her to be able to close that chapter and move on.
Is everyone supposed to have side effects with the vaccines? If someone only had a sore arm and nothing else does that mean anything?
stephka says:
This is a good article about whether it's a positive sign if you have a reaction to a vaccine. TLDR: the jury's out. https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/covid-19-health/i-felt-sick-after-getting-vaccine-why
Interesting article. Thanks stephka !
I wouldn't worry overly about this, ME. My 1st pfizer knocked me out, aches and pains, and I was dreading the 2nd. People were telling me I was going to feel like I had flu on the second, with chills and temperature etc. But I got nothing, really. I was tired. But even my arm didn't hurt like the first time round. It was underwhelming. My sister and brother in law had no reaction to AZ. Zero side effects. My main side effect is relief that I've got it done and dusted. I think I had covid at the start of lockdown one. I've never been so ill.
LoonaticCap says:
I love Issa and she's my favorite capricorn queen. I am sad insecure is ending but super excited for her. I relate a lot with her, i think we have very similar personality traits except the discipline to go after my dreams. I'm way too – insecure haha.
Anyway can't wait to see what's next. And hope to see her on tv again. Soon.
eggcentric1 says:
I LOVE Insecure!! Sad that it's ending. So many laugh out loud and heartbreaking moments. Issa is amazing, can't wait to see her next projects!!
Gippy says:
So my husband works for the VA hospitals in the lab. They put out an internal report showing high correlation for those who had reactions (anything more than a headache) from the 1st shot had COVID within a year of getting their first dose. The immune system was already primed. They did not find that to be the case for those who had reaction with the 2nd shot. The VA has been doing Moderna shots, and sadly now are having to cancel orders for the vaccine as they can't get enough people to take them. Even other workers drives us mad that health care workers can't be more responsible!! Although it does seem that those refusing to get the vaccine are by far those with lower level jobs in the health care system, pretty much all the drs and NPs have gotten them.
AnonyCat says:
I love Issa! I have been watching her since Awkward Black Girl. I watched Little and the Photograph in the theatres. I am really invested in her success. (I think HBO could have given her a higher deal considering that they wanted to greenlight a tv show that imagines America as a confederacy). But I'm amazed by some of the projects she is doing. I'm excited for the one produced with the City Girls. I know she is producing a comedy album for The Read (which is frankly long overdue).
Being mixed ethnicity and mostly growing up in the US, it must be hard to feel connected to Senegal. I hope that when she can travel back it goes smoothly.

Moustafa Bayoumi on Politics and Protest in the Trump Era
An interview with the Muslim American writer and activist about how Trump has unintentionally made America great
By Michelle Chen
yasmin | Read the Margins
Moustafa Bayoumi speaks at an event at the Asian American Writers' Workshop.
Interviews | Islamophobia, Michelle Chen, Moustafa Bayoumi, Muslim Americans, Trump, interview, muslim ban
Months before the United States got its Trumpeting wake-up call to a new authoritarian regime, Moustafa Bayoumi was anticipating the election outcome with a characteristic mix of terror and laughter. The New York-based Muslim American writer and academic had long warned that now-President Donald Trump represented something more than just a bigoted buffoon. But now that President Trump is rolling out his agenda, Bayoumi has no time for schadenfreude.
But, back in May 2016 he still had hope that Trump would be defeated by a strong coalition of Muslims, migrants, and people of color. He was right in one sense—Trump delivered on his promise in unexpected ways for those who stand proudly for another kind of America. If Trump's America was one threatened from all sides by outsiders, "our" society would flip the script on the effort to cast Muslims as enemies and instead foster new solidarities across many marginalized communities. As he wrote in The Guardian:
While his campaign traffics in violence and threats, Trump doesn't scare me. His corrosive comments on Muslims and Mexicans will only bring Muslims and Mexicans, and everyone else, closer together…
Even more fundamentally is the organising energy I see from young Muslim Americans and so many others determined not to let their country be taken over by radical haters. What I've never seen–and don't expect to see–are Muslims cowering in fear of Trump. He may never have expected it, but Trump is helping to build the strongest, most multicultural, multifaith, and multi-ethnic America we have ever had. So, thank you, Donald. You really are making America great.
But we have much more to thank Donald for than many of us expected. After the election, the terror sank in. Observing what his students were telling him in class, Bayoumi reflected on the fear bearing down on a global metropolis where Ground Zero still loomed in the public imagination and "counterterrorism" and policing are increasingly entangled to constrict civil liberties.
A young African American woman told me she worked at a bank on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where she has often had to deal with an older, belligerent white woman. But the last time this woman came into the bank, she began yelling at my student, threatening her and screaming that my student would no longer be working there after Trump was elected. I was appalled by the story, but the other students merely nodded knowingly…
And another young Muslim student told me she worked in daycare at a local mosque, and how the little five- to seven-year-old kids now repeatedly asked her—with those large, innocent, heartbreaking eyes—if they would have to leave the U.S. once Trump was elected.
It is, of course, strange, when you're trying to be the grown-up, to have to somehow rationalize a surreal political situation to a rightfully confused and frightened child. How do you explain your right to exist under a political regime that seems obsessed with erasing your very humanity?
Stranger still is that the whole country seems unbelievably polarized both politically and geographically, so that a city like New York, for all its institutionalized racism and segregation, is branded as, relatively speaking, a bastion of progressivism.

But, it's also refreshing to see that what makes New Yorkers progressive isn't necessarily an ideology but a lived reality; the experience of coexistence is what gives the city its cosmopolitan spirit. Every ethnic and racial borderline in the city has been a site of friction and of cultivated harmony. And the New York that Bayoumi and other local activists see is democracy embodied.
With a steady stream of panic-inducing executive orders throwing us a continual spasm of chaos, this moment seems almost like the best and worst kind of inevitability smashed together in a slow-motion trainwreck. Now, connecting with community—our own and others—can help us feel anchored in a world otherwise unhinged.
As someone who called the opposition's victory from the other side well before the shock hit, and who now stands firmly on the frontline, Bayoumi spoke with me shortly after the "Muslim Ban" was imposed. In this dialogue, edited for clarity and length, he reflects on the meaning of Trump in an age when multiculturalism seems to be at the precipice of something both great—because it makes us stronger—and terrifying—because it makes the other side that much more powerful, too.
Michelle Chen: The Trump election didn't surprise you, but what's your impression of the public response to the new administration?
Moustafa Bayoumi: I guess I am pleasantly surprised or inspired by the response that I've seen in NYC, but I know that it's happening all around the country, and even beyond the country. People are demonstrating loudly and collectively against this kind of blatant xenophobia masquerading as some kind of policy. And I think that that's really important to pay attention to and organize around the response.
I think what we're seeing is young, urban people having really progressive politics and pretty sophisticated and well articulated and really creative politics.
At the same time, the Muslim ban has quite a high level of support, so I don't want to be too optimistic, but I think it's really important to see that, at least in this short moment we're living through right now, politics seems to be changing. It's taking to the streets, it's in people's faces, it's their daily lives. People are not just delegating it to representatives; in fact they're really pushing their representatives to try to represent them.

I still think [the anti-Trump campaigning] should do a lot more with regards to American foreign policy and American interventionism and imperialism. I think there's really good connections that people on the left and people who are opposed to Trump are making with regards to Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ rights and also indigenous rights in the United States, but those are by and large domestic issues. I still think there's a place for a more sustained critique of American foreign policy that we're not hearing enough of.
What about global protests? Is there an avenue there for forming a true global justice or anti-imperialist movement, which we haven't seen effectively mobilized in years or perhaps generations?
I don't think we're there yet. I think that there's some international solidarity happening around the world. There's also, frankly, a certain side of globalized capitalism that's also just afraid of Trump and the kind of tariff economy and closed-off nation that he wants to bring back the United States. And so it's not just the Left that's afraid of Trump, but it's probably even the capitalist class, a super influential wealthy global capitalist class that's also opposed to Trump. I'm not saying we should join forces with them, I'm just saying that there are multiple forces to resist Trump.
Given that Trump won as a kind of "anti-establishment" candidate, albeit a nihilistic one, and he capitalized on an anti-globalization sentiment, what should be the Left's answer to anti-globalization?
I think the problem with right wing populism is that it sees dignity and opportunity, and security—dignity primarily—as this zero-sum game. Like, "My dignity is what's important, what I'm going to organize around, and I'm going to try to preserve it, and if that means that I have to somehow trample on your dignity, then so be it." That's wrong. The whole Trump Muslim ban is premised essentially on trading somebody else's sense of security for your own false sense of security. If there's one message to give, it's, "Let's not believe in this sort of zero-sum equation of these really important values that are the most fundamental values to our collective existence on this planet."
Photo from the Dulles International Airport Muslim Ban protest taken by Geoff Livingston on Flickr.
As progressives, it feels like a very alienating political atmosphere, and there's a sense that the divisions are so stark that communication between different ideological camps and social segments is becoming near impossible. Within our own communities, how do we keep from falling into despair?
Within the Muslim American communities that I know right now there's actually not a lot of despair. There's a lot of caution, but there's a lot of optimism too because they see that there's a whole new set of allies around. There's a desire to connect with other communities.
If I had the time, I would love to organize a sort of Muslim Mexican party in New York, or something like that. Like, let's connect outside of going through the mainstream, let's find out all of our interests and our struggles. A big message doesn't necessarily have to mean that we lose our own particularities; it's actually knowing our own particularities that will allow us to connect with each other more authentically.
And on that note, what of the creative cultural responses we've been seeing, in the media or otherwise? How do cultural actions and instruments help broaden public dialogue?
People are often talking about how they're preaching to the converted and that kind of thing. But I think that really clever, creative products that get put on the internet for example can also traverse even ideological boundaries. In the creativity of the response to the kind of Draconian politics, that's where we're actually creating the very society that we want to live in. It's not just critique at this point, it's actually construction. We're actually constructing something out of it.
