Mavericks vs. Thunder Preview: 3 things to watch as Dallas takes on OKC
Mavericks looking to start a new win streak

Share All sharing options for: Mavericks vs. Thunder Preview: 3 things to watch as Dallas takes on OKC
Fresh off a solid win against the New Orleans Pelicans, the Dallas Mavericks attempt to start a new winning streak Sunday, going on the road to take on the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The Mavericks took down a depleted Pelicans squad on Saturday, with Luka Doncic notching another 30-point triple double. Doncic will likely rest on the second night of a back-to-back, so other Mavericks will have to step up.
Oklahoma City still sits outside the play-in seeding, but has been frisky lately. They recently blew out the Celtics last and won two of its last three games. They've scored at least 115 points in all three of those games, so the Mavericks struggling defense will need to be ready.
Here's what we're watching.
If no Luka, can the Mavericks win?
Luka Doncic will likely rest on the second night of a back-to-back. Coach Jason Kidd made a joke about how it seemed obvious after Saturday's win, since Luka was playing deep into the fourth quarter next to end of the bench players McKinley Wright and Frank Ntilikina. If Luka does play against the Thunder, him racking up 39 minutes in a controlled win against the Pelicans will be franchise malpractice from the Dallas coaching staff.
So likely without Luka, can the Mavericks...win? Dallas is 0-3 without Luka this season, including some embarrassing losses to the Rockets and Bulls. Dallas can barely win when Luka doesn't even score 30 or more points, so winning without him entirely will take a massive effort from the rest of the rotation.
Christian Wood, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Tim Hardaway Jr. will all have to have big scoring games. Also, maybe Mavericks second round rookie Jaden Hardy can keep the vibes going....
Is this Jaden Hardy run for real?
Hardy has scored 15 points in back-to-back games, first against the Celtics on Thursday and then the Pelicans on Saturday. While both impressive efforts from the Mavericks rookie, Hardy's 15 against the Pelicans came outside of garbage time when the game was still being decided. It was fun to watch.
With the injuries to the Mavericks rotation and the team recently waiving Kemba Walker, this is a massive opportunity for Hardy to earn regular rotation minutes going forward. It's really hard for any contending team with title aspirations to count on a second round rookie, but Hardy has enough talent to make the coaching staff have to think twice about it.
Mavericks waive Kemba Walker
The Thunder aren't great, but they offer a lot of length on the perimeter. If Hardy can duplicate what he did against the Pelicans and continue to finish around the basket, that would be huge. With probably no Luka, Hardy will have another great opportunity.
Take care of business
The Mavericks recent turnaround has come from the team finally beating the teams they're supposed to. Dallas has won eight of nine games, and all eight wins were against teams the Mavericks were favored against. Even if Doncic doesn't play, except the Mavericks to be favored once again against the Thunder.
This is an especially important game because it's the first of a tough five-game road trip. After this, Dallas travels to the West Coast to play both Los Angeles teams and Portland twice. All four of those teams can be tough matchups on their home floor, so the Mavericks need to sock away this win against a bad Thunder team.
You can catch this game on Bally Sports Southwest or NBA League Pass at 6 p.m. CST.

"The brief for the hair was strong style led focus. Farah's SS15 collection had real urban influences with an introduction of a sportswear theme. The two models George and Kris had very different looks so that had to be considered when styling. Kris had very short hair that needed detailing and a shape up so I cut his hair close to the head and used oil to add shine. George has very thick hair but I have styled him many times so I know his hair well, I cut off a lot of hair and styled it forwards to create a heavy fringe, I used Kevin Murphy texture spray and Baxter's Cream Pomade to finish. The shoot was inside and outside so it was a challenge to keep the hair looking good throughout."

The trade in black pepper is unhappy that exports may not show a sign of revival in prices in the immediate future. World prices have been showing a downward trend for eighteen months and this has resulted in much lower earnings for exporters . The UK, West Germany and the Netherlands have cut their import requirement though the American demand has shown some growth. Brazil has been resorting to aggressive selling at lower prices and the expectations are that its exports will reach an all-time peak of 32,000 tones in the 1981-82 season. The 1981-82 Indian season is only about six weeks away.

Would I Do It Again? Bike Across America?
Six months after our return from the 3,115 – mile bike trip, I am repeatedly asked if I would do it again.
NO! Biking across the USA is not an easy achievement. A year of my life was dedicated to training 6 hours a day, then riding the 3,000+ miles and then 4 months of recuperation and catch-up.
The two months my daughter and I spent together biking across the USA was not a vacation; it was a rigorous physical challenge as well as a test of managing stress, maximizing patience and pulling together as partners. We lived through a "rite of passage" in our relationship. We took care of each other on the road bicycling and in many other ways too. At times JC "mothered" me; bringing me ice packs and massaging my sore shoulder and insisting I eat more and sleep longer. I depended on her to map our directions, fix the computer, compress photos and lift anything heavy. We calmed each other in the face of potential tornadoes, heat stroke and semi-trucks blasting us off the road.
The mother/daughter hierarchy we knew at the beginning of the trip has been forever shattered. My role as mother has shifted from authority to partnership. We are equals and friends and I like it that way.
We both feel a great sense of accomplishment because, through the bike trip and donations of $1 a mile, we were able to raise $52 K – that's right, $52,000 for Bone Health Awareness and research, donated to the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
Women who have osteopenia or osteoporosis (like me, my mother, and sisters) became friends as we pedaled, and via email.
One, two or three women can make a difference, from a grass-roots level. Choose your "cause" and work with passion.
We can impact our bone health, learn how at the Osteoporosis website.

New Cast Interviews
By JuliDG Email Post 4/11/2011 01:25:00 PM Categories: Blair Brown, Interview, Jasika Nicole, John Noble, Joshua Jackson, Spoiler-free, Video
John Noble, Jasika Nicole, Blair Brown and Joshua Jackson had a chat with CityTvVancouver and they talk about this season and the possiblity of have an episode directed by Blair Brown.
Matthew M said...
Interesting ideas. May be you are correct - may be you are not even close. Not to worry, it will all come out as planned.
Blair Brown is such a delightful person to talk to! Lol, Peter and Olivia being siblings, a twist no one will see coming.
fringeobsessed said...
Blair: "I'm waiting for someone to trip over it and say what the heck is this?" lol
Jasika is so adorable.
skeletonfriend said...
I do think Olivia is Nina's daughter. It's the way she talks to and treats her, especially in season one. It would be insane if Peter and Olivia were siblings, which would be seriously detrimental to their romantic plans. :)
Surely Nina's arm is at the bottom of the lake? lol
They once said in an interview that every thing Nina says on the show itself is true in some way -- so nothing happened to Nina's arm. She still had it but it was "in phase" at the end of "Peter" (flickering in and out); presumably, Bell figured out how to stabilize it, but she developed cancer in it as a result, and lost it.
The Olivia is Nina's daughter theory is one I have considered seriously in the past -- why else would she care about Liv so much? But I think it's more complicated than that...

These large acrylic paintings are rendered on sand and canvas and show endangered vanishing animals. The greatest success story is that the tools we have at our disposal to protect our environment and wildlife are actually working! Conservation projects can help bring species back. Given the immense challenges ahead, with overall biodiversity at threat due to climate change, land use changes and pollution as well as cases of extreme poaching of iconic species such as rhinos, elephants, leopards, gorillas and others we need to pursue ambitious conservation projects to keep our planet intact for future generations. Artwork can express the diversity and beauty of these animals, highlight what we are in danger of losing, and inspire efforts to increase their numbers and protect them.

Believed to be the world's first MLCC to have this construction technique, the ZRA series has been designed specifically to absorb mechanical vibration generated within the capacitor, typically sounding as "squealing", when a voltage is applied to it."Squealing" has become an industry issue especially in the design of power supply circuits of consumer applications such as laptops, smartphones and digital cameras. The PCB can amplify the audio noise generated by the capacitor, so by using an interposer substrate the MLCC becomes mechanically isolated from the PCB. Tests conducted by Murata have indicated as much as a 20 dB reduction in audio noise measured at 3 kHz when compared against a traditionally constructed MLCC.The ZRA series currently comprises 22 uF 6.3 WV values with X5R temperature rating in both 0804 and 0906 formats. More capacitance values, in the range 1 to 22 uF, will be added shortly.

Malta hits COVID record as U.S. warns against travel to island
By Metro US Posted on December 29, 2021
COVID-19 pandemic in Tal-Qroqq
VALLETTA (Reuters) – Malta registered a record number of COVID-19 infections on Wednesday as the United States added the Mediterranean island to its highest-risk category for travel and urged its citizens not to visit.
Health authorities said 1,337 new COVID-19 infections were detected, marking a record high for the second day in a row. It is the fifth time in eight days that the number of new daily infections hit a national record.
However, hospitalisations stayed low at just 82 virus patients.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control advised against travel to Malta late on Tuesday, placing the country at the Level 4, "Very High" category, where more than 500 cases per 100,000 residents are registered in the previous 28 days.
"Because of the current situation in Malta, even fully vaccinated travellers may be at risk of getting and spreading COVID-19 variants," the advisory said.
The increase in infections came despite a high rate of vaccination, with 95% of Malta residents having received two doses of a vaccine. The island is currently vaccinating children aged over five.
Health Minister Chris Fearne also said on Tuesday that 200,000 – out of a population of some 500,000 – had already taken the booster dose.
Business lobby groups on Wednesday urged the government to reduce a two-week quarantine period for patients and those who come into contact with them, saying it was impacting the economy.
The Times of Malta newspaper reported that at least 20,000 people were currently in quarantine – four times the population of the capital, Valletta.

RisiKo online: original version and alternative games
Let's find out how to play RisiKo online and what are the best alternatives to this fantastic strategic battle game!
Any fan of party games will surely have heard of Risk, the leading strategy game board of all time. It is in fact a game born in 1957, first spread by the French publishing house Miro Company and later by Parker Brothers in the rest of the world, becoming famous in a very short time. The aim of the game, for those who try this fantastic board game today, is to conquer all the territories described in the objective card, drawn by each player and kept secret for the entire duration of the battle. Nowadays, especially for digital lovers, there is an online mode of RisiKo, but the surprises do not end there, as some alternative games have also been made which remain particularly faithful to the original. Said this, let's analyze all the versions in this guide!
RisiKo online: guide to the original version and alternative games
In this guide we will analyze step by step all the digital versions of board games inspired by RisiKo, starting from that base and continuing for many others at the same time very faithful to the original.
RisiKo Digital | RisiKo online: original version and alternative games
La first version of RisiKo online that we point out is exactly that official, playable from any PC and reachable on this page. It is in fact the digital mode of the game board of the same name, which transposes all the classic rules of the paper game onto the screen. It should be noted, however, that in order to play online it is necessary to activate a subscription at the modest price of € 3,95 for the first month, but it is also possible to sign a quarterly contract at a cost of € 9,90 or, thinking big, an annual contract for € 35. In addition, for all those who log in for the first time, the site offers a free period of 15 days.
Caution: in order to play it is mandatory to download both the client and Adobe Air on the PC and finally create an account. The platform also allows you to register with your Facebook account.
AtWar | RisiKo online: original version and alternative games

Talk:Wiki for standards/Vote
< Talk:Wiki for standards
Angela has created comments after the end of the vote and after the person looking after the vote has pronounced the decision of the vote. There is documentary evidence to these two people being indeed in favour of the vote. This vote has been open to everyone who wanted to vote for this project. Both Sue Ellen and Felix have expressed their willingness to actively support this project. GerardM 13:52, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
My #1 objection to this voting process was that it was not advertised at all on other Wikimedia projects, so it would be hard pressed to suggest that you have "community opinion" on the topic. That you have a group of supporters for this proposal is clear, and there is certainly going to be a community of people interested in getting this going. I find it unfortunate that more input on the question wasn't sought from outside this small group of people contributing, and that it was never put on the Goings-on page for Meta, much less a notice on the Village Pump of Wikipedia, nor the main discussion pages for any other Wikimedia sister project. This suggests a fear that getting substantial outside input would get many "No" votes.
The other objection I had to this whole process was that I felt additional community input was needed for the initial proposal. With the amount of hesitation that the board seems to have toward Wikiversity, in spite of the almost overwhelming quantity of opinion for that proposal, they have gone and asked for further revisions of that proposal because it didn't seem that enough actual effort was put into the formal proposal page. If that is the case, then this Wiki for standards proposal is woefully inadequate. I didn't even get a chance to argue about the wording of this proposal before the formal vote began. Indeed, there was basically no time at all given to work on the proposal right before the vote. Indeed the page with the proposal was started only two days before the vote on accepting the proposal was started. It certainly didn't give any chance to try and suggest modifications to the proposal or work in any other ideas. Similar proposals have been on Meta for months or even years with some very insightful comments that were added over time. --Roberth 04:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Q: Special nested query in LINQ I'm writting a graph algorithm and I'm almost there...
My algorithm stores several edge objects in a collection of edges, representing a path from initial vertex to final vertex. Thus, there should be also several paths between those vertexes (several collections of edge type), stored in another collection (in my class, callded "collswap").
Each edge is an object which have two vertexes: initial (v) and final (w), in this way:
dim manhattan as new vertex
dim brooklyn as new vertex
dim statenIsland as new vertex

dim brooklynBridge as new edge(brooklyn, manhattan)
dim route278 as new edge(statenIsland, brooklyn)

'calculates the path and stores the collections in a private property 'collswap'
me.returnPath(statenIsland, manhattan)

'in me.collswap (type collection) I have one collection (type 'system.collections.generic.list(of edge)) with two edges (route278 and brooklynBridge)

The graph is correctly calculated, but now I have to pick the best path. So, I need to query collswap in ways of:

*

*Retrieving only those paths which last edge contains the desired vertex in vertexW property
ex: brooklynBridge.vertexW 'retrieves manhattan vertex (because my code can store a path which don't reaches the final vertex)

*Selecting the minor path between various located (the fewer ellements collection)
Would you help-me to build a good (and ellegant) Linq query to carry out these tasks?
Thank you!

A: In C#, sorry. I'm assuming collswap has a collection named paths, each of which is a List of edge.

Retrieving only those paths which last edge contains the desired vertex in vertexW property ex: brooklynBridge.vertexW 'retrieves manhattan vertex (because my code can store a path which don't reaches the final vertex)

List<List<edge>> goodPaths = collswap.paths.Where(path => path.Last() == manhattan);

This gives those paths that end at manhattan.

Selecting the minor path between various located (the fewer ellements collection)

List<edge> shortestGoodPath = goodPaths.OrderBy(path => path.Count()).First();

This gives the first good path, when the good paths are ordered by edge count; that is, this is the shortest good path.
You can combine the two operations if you want:
List<edge> shortestGoodPath =
    collswap.paths
    .Where(path => path.Last() == manhattan)
    .OrderBy(path => path.Count())
    .First();


In the previous article the doctrine of Baptism was discussed. There the Lutherans point out to the emperor that they teach and administer the Sacrament of Baptism according to Scripture and not like the Anabaptists. Now in Article 10 they move on to the other Sacrament, and their teaching concerning the Lord's Supper. Once again the Lutherans were eager to show where they were in agreement with the Roman Church on the teaching of the Lord's Supper. This was in contrast to the followers of Zwingli who claimed that Christ's body and blood was only represented by the bread and the wine in the Sacrament.
and the Eucharist (which means "thanksgiving").
When we study the doctrine of the Lord's Supper in various "Christian" denominations we will find three different ways of understanding the presence of Christ in the Sacrament.
* The vast majority of "Christian" denominations follow Zwingli and teach that Christ's body and blood are only represented by the bread and the wine, and are not truly present.
First, because of the clear words of Jesus on Maundy Thursday evening when He instituted the Lord's Supper. Jesus says, "This is My body", the same body "which is given for you" (Luke 22:19), and "This is My blood", the same blood"which is shed for many"(Mark 14:24).
The apostle Paul describes the intimate relationship between the bread and Christ's body, and the wine and Christ's blood as a "communion" – a "sharing" or "fellowship": "The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? " (1 Corinthians 10:16).
In addition, Paul states that unworthy communicants are guilty, not of bread and wine, but of the body and blood of Christ: "Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord…. For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. (1 Corinthians 11:27,29).
This point is worthy of special notice because Zwingli and his followers generally believe that an unbeliever does not receive the body and blood of Christ (even symbolically) because it is based on faith. Zwingli wrote: "I believe that in the holy Eucharist… the true body of Christ is present by the contemplation of faith; that is that they who thank the Lord for the kindness conferred upon us in his Son acknowledge that he assumed true flesh, in it truly suffered, truly washed away our sins in his own blood; and thus everything done by Christ becomes present to them by the contemplation of faith. But that the body of Christ in essence and really – that is, the natural body itself – is either present in the supper or masticated with our mouth or teeth, as the Papists and some who long for the flesh-pots of Egypt assert, we not only deny, but firmly maintain is an error opposed to God's Word" (Ulrich Zwingli in Reckoning the faith of Ulrich Zwingli to the Roman Emperor Chrarles). But based on the passages above we teach that an unworthy guest receives Christ's body and blood in the Sacrament not for the forgiveness of sins, but to his own great harm.
In the Roman Confutation the Catholics agreed with the Lutheran statement in this article saying, "The tenth article gives no offense in its words, because they confess that in the Eucharist… the body and blood of Christ are substantially and truly present…". And in the Apology the Lutherans paraphrase a section from the Confutation "the substance of the bread is changed into the body of Christ" but do not note the difference between Transubstantiation and the Real Presence. It seems strange that the Lutherans did not address the subject of transubstantiation in the Augsburg Confession or the Apology. It may have been that the distinction between the Real Presence and Transubstantiation was not yet clearly defined at this time.
But, seven years later, when Luther writes his Smalcald Articles the lines between the Roman teaching of Transubstantiation and the Lutheran teaching of the Real Presence were clearly drawn. Luther writes: "As regards transubstantiation, we care nothing about the sophistical subtlety by which they teach that bread and wine leave or lose their own natural substance, and that there remain only the appearance and color of bread, and not true bread. For it is in perfect agreement with Holy Scriptures that there is, and remains, bread, as Paul himself calls it, 1 Cor. 10,16: The bread which we break. And 1 Cor. 11,28: Let him so eat of that bread" (Smalcald Articles, Part III, Article VI). This article stresses the real presence of Christ's body and blood in the bread and the wine of the Lord's Supper, and the reception of every communicant of Christ's body and blood. This Article is still applicable for us today since the Reformed churches still deny the presence of Christ's body and blood and the Roman church still holds to the teaching of Transubstantiation.
Note: This study was prepared for the Bible Class at Zion Lutheran Church, Lawrenceville, GA by Pastor Nathanael Mayhew.
I was pleased to be able to help Pastor Hein and his member Alvin Jask in Monrovia, Liberia last week doing exploratory mission work. One thing we did was conduct a seminar from 9-4 for three days teaching on a variety of Bible lessons and topics. There were over 35 who attended each day. I will explain below what I taught. In teaching a segment on the Trinity I went over the special name of our God, Jehovah. Also tying in with this I went through seven passages in the Old Testament which are parallel in the New Testament which refer to Jesus as Jehovah. In teaching on Baptism and Communion the two main questions raised were mainly about baptism: 1)whether children can be baptized, which I showed from the Bible that they should be baptized, 2) what is the method of applying water, which I pointed out could be by sprinkling, pouring or immersing, all allowable according to the words used in Scripture. Incidentally, during the time in Liberia Pastor Hein baptized thirteen people by pouring water over their heads.
The topic that brought out the most discussion was on 'Why we are not Pentecostals'. I went over this in detail. We do not believe that the power of miracles through the hands of men is available today, that it ceased with the death of the apostles and their associates. The completion of the Bible ended these miraculous gifts which were given to confirm and bear witness to the Word. Once the church had the Word, the miracles ceased. God can still do miracles and does, but not that these can be guaranteed through men. I went over what could be the reasons why some claim they can speak in tongues today, and there were those present who did claim this. I went over why God does not speak to us in dreams today, and there were those present who claimed He had done just that.
I also taught on: Law and Gospel Differentiation, the Armor of God, Key Words of our Faith, Ichthus, Creation Review, A Study of Some Aspects of John's Gospel. In addition to the oral teaching with several of my subjects I left English copies of the material that people could read on their own. It was clear from the seminar and talks afterwards that what we taught was appreciated. There were disagreements and more teaching needs to be done. There is a yearning for the truth there, but they also have so many churches splintering off into independent ones or following a man or woman. There is so much more that needs to be gone over, such as that men are to govern in the church and be the pastors. We have no organized church in Liberia, but are only doing initial exploration. If you would like to have more information, contact Pastor Hein or Alvin Jask. Pray that we can continue to explore and determine if we can do work in Liberia.


The Applying Project Management sub-category is specific to topics on how to apply project management principles.
How to develop good cost estimates?
The question that we address today is how to develop good cost estimates? We will present our views via four videos on cost estimating, that would address topics like, what are the components of a good estimate, what is the difference between estimating techniques and estimate classifications, and how to estimate contingency reserve. In addition, we will also highlight the relationship between scope definition, uncertainty, contingency, and estimate accuracy. One more statement/question here, do you realize that if the project manager is developing the cost estimate, that could be a conflict of interest?
You can probably claim 2 PDU for this article if you watch all of the videos. Assuming, you need PDUs.

Q: Is this function defined on just the integers continuous? Define the function $f:\Bbb{Z}\rightarrow\Bbb{R}$ such that $f(z)=c$ and $c$ is any real number. Since $\forall \epsilon>0$, $\vert f(a)-f(b)\vert=\vert c-c\vert=0<\epsilon$ whenever $0<\vert a-b\vert<\delta$, for some $\delta >0$. Then $f$ must be continuous...? But the graph of this function have "breaks" in it. I'm trying to reconcile the graphical representation of continuity and its formal definition. Sorry if this is such a stupid question.

A: Every function defined on the set of integers (endowed with the discrete Topology) is continuous.

A: If $X$ and $Y$ are topological spaces then every function $f:X\to Y$ that is constant is continuous.
This because every preimage under $f$ will be an element of $\{\varnothing,X\}$ and both sets are open by definition.

Again With the Russians
Filed to:Election Interference
American political candidates are once again being targeted, a Microsoft executive said Thursday, by the Russian intelligence agency formerly known as the GRU.
At the Aspen Security Forum, a gathering of top-level government officials and industry experts, Microsoft's Tom Burt, vice president for customer safety and trust, said that his team had uncovered evidence that three U.S. candidates running for election in 2018 had been targeted. The attacker, according to Burt, was identified as the advanced persistent threat known to Microsoft as Strontium—though the hackers are more commonly called Fancy Bear, the codename given to them by cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike. (See also: Sednit, Pawn Storm, Sofacy, Tsar Team, Group 74, APT 28, Swallowtail, and Iron Twilight.)
The names of the candidates who were allegedly targeted have yet to be released, but according to Burt, they are individuals who may have piqued Moscow's interest "from an espionage standpoint, as well as an election disruption standpoint," he said.
The disclosure follows a whirlwind of Russia-related news that has immersed pundits and politicos since July 13, the day a U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, unsealed an indictment charging 12 Russian intelligence officers in absentia with conducting a months-long, covert campaign to undermine the Democratic Party—targeting, among others, then-candidate Hillary Clinton, in an attempt to sway the election in President Donald Trump's favor, per an assessment long affirmed by the U.S. intelligence community.
The indictment paved the way for what was easily one of the most bizarre moments in the modern history of the U.S. presidency: Trump allowing his affinity for the former KGB officer and homophobic Russian autocrat, Vladimir Putin, to openly undermine the authority of his intelligence chiefs. That unprecedented moment preceded several days' worth of puzzling self-contradiction on the president's part after rank-and-file Republicans, seemingly pushed to their limit, began airing their disgust on live TV.
Even his attempts to clean up the mess resulted in further confusion and doubt over Trump's position on the Russian election interference, whether Putin was directly responsible, and whether the U.S. is presently at risk. (According to a New York Times report published late Wednesday, Trump was shown evidence two weeks before his inauguration, including texts and emails "gleaned from a top-secret source close to Mr. Putin," documenting the Kremlin-directed cyberattacks.)
By Wednesday, it was obvious that Trump has placed more trust in the word of the world's most powerful street thug—or has simply decided to believe whatever he wants, evidence be damned, because it's politically convenient to do so—than anything he's heard or seen in year's worth of classified briefs. Every attempt to placate his party and top advisers by acknowledging publicly that Moscow did, in fact, interfere in the 2016 election was followed by a last minute ad-lib clearly intended to diminish the Putin's culpability. ("Could be other people also.")
The president's attempts to walk back his walk-backs did not go over well with his GOP comrades. In the end, as Sen. Marco Rubio told Politico, "You can't force anyone to say what you want them to say, especially the president of the United States."
Trump is, if anything, his own one-man walking brain trust.
As Politico reported Wednesday, the nation's ongoing efforts to secure state election systems against foreign cyberattacks or other forms of tampering are slow moving and unlikely to produce results before the midterm elections, less than four months away. The five states that rely solely on paperless electronic voting devices have "no plans to replace their machines before the election," the news site reported. What's more, fewer than a third of the states have reportedly undergone the security audits offered by the Department of Homeland Security.
That security experts have already detected attempts to meddle in the election is neither surprising nor profound. "We have seen Russian activity and intentions to have an impact on the next election cycle," CIA Director Mike Pompeo told the Senate intelligence committee five months ago. "There should be no doubt," added Dan Coats, the Trump-chosen director of national intelligence, "that Russia perceives its past efforts as successful and views the 2018 U.S. midterm elections as a potential target for Russian influence operations."
A week ago, Coats reiterated: "The warning lights are blinking red."
Trump, meanwhile, doesn't seem to notice. Nor care.
Clarification: A lot of readers are commenting on the phrase "Russian intelligence agency formerly known as the GRU," in the belief I misspoke. It's my understand that the GRU, Main Intelligence Directorate, or Glavnoye Razvedyvatel'noye Upravleniye as it's called in Russia, is now officially called simply Main Directorate (which would just be GU).
Although GRU is still widely used, it is no longer the official name of the department, to the best of my understanding.
Feel free to contact me by email if you're a Russian expert and you think I'm wrong: dell@gizmodo.com.

PHILADELPHIA — Brian Westbrook has rushed for more than 100 yards 20 times in his career, and four of those games have come against the New York Giants.
Westbrook has scored 68 career touchdowns. Fourteen have been against the Giants: eight rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns.
You might recall there was also that late-game, 84-yard punt return in 2004, which ripped a game from the Giants' grasp.
So, LeSean McCoy could have a massive pair of spikes to fill when the Eagles meet the Giants at 1 p.m. Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
The Eagles haven't said Westbrook won't play, but he hasn't done anything on the field since sustaining a concussion in the first quarter Monday night against Washington.
If Westbrook must sit, McCoy and first-year pickup Eldra Buckley must carry the rushing load.
If that's the case, the two say bring it on.


Greetings to all those who will be reading this message and these thoughts about it. As we have done so often before, let us first remember the message of April in which Mary invited us to open ourselves to God through prayer. She also helped us understand what that means when she used the metaphor "as a flower opens itself to the rays of the morning sun." We may not forget that there are two fundamental ways to pray: First, one can pray just as one does any other work. Many behave with prayer as they also do with their work when they do it as quickly as possible and, if in any way possible, to also leave it out entirely. Many people pray this way, and that is why nothing in their life ever changes. Or, one can pray the way Mary wishes of us. Mary wants prayer to be for us what the sun is to the flower. To pray means to make God a present of our time, and then to open and to expose ourselves to Him in our prayer. When we do this we will feel Mary's presence as well as God's presence -- and this is because she says: "Be not afraid, I am with you." Her loving presence frees us of any fear, and gives us freedom. Being distant or separated from her loving presence causes fear and so many other negative feelings. Many people live in constant fear because they are not before God in prayer, and others because they keep themselves distant from Him. Another cause for fear is when we sin against this Loving Presence. All of us, when we were children, quite naturally sought the presence of our mother or of our father, but all of us have also, at least once, tried to avoid their presence when we knew that we had sinned against the will of either our mother or our father. Many people live in fear because in their hearts they feel that have sinned against God and His holy will. Prayer means to be before God and the Sacrament of Confession then frees us of this fear. The fundamental message of the Bible is quite simply -- God's presence. He introduced Himself as the God who is present and who with the greatest of yearning is seeking the presence of His people.
That is why Jesus has the name 'Emmanuel' -- God with us. That is why, when He speaks after the Resurrection, He always says, "Be not afraid, It is I. Peace be with you." Therefore His Loving Presence frees us from all fear, and then fills us with His peace. Mary also prays that we open ourselves and that our hearts may then accept the grace of conversion. Conversion, when seen in the light of what we have already heard about prayer, can be defined this way: "To decide to overcome sin and the distance between ourselves and God, and then to always seek His presence and His proximity to us." But, it is here that we also come across the mystery of our human freedom. Man can also decide for a distance between himself and God, or he can even decide to hide from God, and then to live without His Loving Presence. But NO-ONE in such a situation can possibly be happy and in peace. That is why Mary prays and I am certain all of us will also pray for the grace that we may all feel God's presence, that we may then accept it, and that we will always keep trying to rediscover Him.
Since April's message it is also very important for us to understand how important grace is for us. For us that was also a call that we must be extremely careful in this world -- this world that has brought about such technological power that humanity can, with this power, either continue developing or, just as easily, be so severely misled. We are all tempted into believing only in human power, and in this way to forget how important grace is for us. Many people, either when they are young, or in good health, or when they are rich, no longer seek God, and therefore so easily forget the importance of His grace. But grace is imperative for the young, as it also is for the old, for the healthy and for the sick, for the rich and for the poor. May April's message help each of us realize that we ought to decide for God, that we ought to open ourselves to Him for then be freed from all fear, and that we then also accept the grace of conversion, and, in this way, come to know how important grace is for us.
We are in the week in which we prepare ourselves for the great Feast of Pentecost. That is why there are always more and more pilgrims, and right now we can easily say that there are pilgrims here from all over the world. Right now the Polish and the French seem to have the majority, but many other groups are here as well -- including from Brazil, Argentina, Canada, the U.S., Australia, the Philippines, Hungary, Romania, England, Italy and Belgium. We also had a group from the Ukraine, and even one from the Island of La Reunion. Every day more than 40 Priests concelebrate Holy Mass in the evening, and more than 40 have also been seen at English Mass in the morning. Quite simply said, there are many, many pilgrims here in Our Lady's Oasis of Peace. And we hope that we will celebrate this great Feast Day in a most worthy manner -- and especially so in this year that the Holy Father consecrated to the Holy Spirit. We also hope that we may celebrate this great day in deep openness toward God, and in a deep joy to be among so many people from all of humanity, all of whom have decided to gather here alongside Mary, and to hear Him.
Mary has often used this term, and it is really the First Commandment of God that she is repeating here. But to decide for God the Creator, it means to accept life as a gift from God and to do so with great love. This is because God created us out of His pure love for us. Every one of us is His creation and about whom He said at the very beginning of Creation: "It is very good." When He created the other world He said: "It is good," yet when He spoke about humanity, and therefore about each one of us, He said: "It is very good." We are permitted to accept our life with joy and with love, and so for a Christian there is simply no room to think about himself in anything but a positive way, and there is no room for him to reject his own life, or to live with an inferiority complex. With any of these attitudes we are only insulting God! Even when we have, in any manner, been wounded by our families, or by our parents and therefore have inner problems -- and this is happening a lot today -- still, we have more than enough reasons to accept our lives with great joy and with even greater love. Because even when the others did not love us enough, or when even our parents completely rejected us, God's love for us is still Complete, for He is our Creator. This love of the Loving Creator will help us all to really become healed of all our wounds. The other specific decision for us is to meet and to accept every other person as a gift and as a grace for every one of us. Every one of us is created by God and God said about every one of us: "It is very good. You are my much loved child." So to accept God the Creator, it means to have a loving relationship with oneself as well as with the other people, and then also to develop one toward all of nature. But if man does not have the true faith in God the Creator, then it can happen that he comes to consider himself as the lord over all of life, and this is very dangerous for him, for all of those around him, as well as for all of nature. And every time man turns against his own life, or against the life of the others, then he is clearly demonstrating for all to see that he does not yet believe in God the Loving Creator. This shows itself most clearly in man's relationship toward the yet unborn life, and we all know that this so-materialistic world has raised its hand against unborn life in a terrible, terrible way. Man has gone against God the Creator at such a decisive moment - the moment of conception -- and he goes against this new life, and he kills it. Man must reconcile himself with God the Creator, so that he can again cooperate with Him in the act of Creation. THAT IS THE CONDITION FOR MAN TO COME TO PEACE, and that man can then again live in joy.
God, our Father, we thank You for Your love, we recognize You today as Our God, our Creator. We thank You for our life, for the lives of our parents and all the people whom we have met, and those whom we have yet to meet. Along with Mary we ask You, give us the grace that we may, through prayer and sacrifice, prepare ourselves for the Coming of Your Holy Spirit. Give the strength that we may be freed of all that which at this moment hinders us from being open to Him, Your Holy Spirit. Lord, we bring before You our entire life, all that which is deformed inside us, all that is bad within us, all that is dark and injured, and we beg You, come and heal us, through You Holy Spirit. And we beg You forgiveness that we were often fearful of You, that we often distrusted You, and did not allow You to transform and to change us. Prepare our heart so that we may recognize Your plan through the Holy Spirit, that we may listen for Your word, and that we may then live it. Send into our heart your Spirit of Truth, that we may recognize You, our true God, and that we may allow ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit on Your path to Eternal Life. Lord, during this Novena and during this year of Your Spirit, we beg You, send Your Spirit of Truth and Love into the hearts of all those who are responsible in the Holy Church, and in the world. Send Your Holy Spirit into the hearts of those who, at this moment, are resisting You, who still distrust You, and change their hearts. Send the Spirit of Love into the hearts of those who hate, send the Spirit of Strength into the hearts of those who have become enslaved by sin, so that we, as Your Children, may come to be able to love in freedom and in love. Give us the grace that we may come to understand the message that the Mother of Your Son Jesus Christ has given us through Her, and that we all may come to live better lives with the strength of Your Spirit. Bless us and heal us, and bless all those who have ever asked for our prayers, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.


PARIS, 21 JULY 2015 — The idea for this dessert was triggered by American peppered plum jam from the Carolinas. The pepper brings out the full flavours of red fruits and the basil gives the blend an unexpected and interesting note.
Remove stones from plums and remove the red currants from their stalks.
Using kitchen scissors grossly chop the basil reserving the larger stalks.
Pour the honey into a saucepan and add the plums and basil stalks.
Add a generous helping of freshly grouund pepper.
Heat gently and allow to simmer until the plums have softened a little. Then add the red currants and chopped basil.
Allow to simmer for 2 - 3 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool and then refrigerate. Remove the basil stalks and serve in dessert glasses.
Decorate with the raspberries and a small sprig of basil.
Serve with creme fraiche, fresh cream or yoghurt.

The recent fires, floods, mud-slides, smog and FB weather conditions postings between Linn in SC/USA and Kim in Brisbane/Australia have not been good. The extreme temperatures are certain signs for global warming and the weather pattern is and should be a real concern.
And the not so encouraging reality is that as long as we live, we are contributing factors to global warming in one way or another.
On the other hand, there are such beautiful and spectacular sides to this extreme weathers. In Nazaré/Portugal report a 30.5m/100′ possible world record for a wave. HI Garret McNamara surfed this largest wave but claimed that there had to be something wrong with him as the thrill was not as he had hoped!
Watched 3 movies, Elles, Cloud Atlas and Beasts Of The Southern Wild but did not do much for me and will probably be soon forgotten. Perhaps it is unfair to rate movies this week, the mind and focus are more on the environmental issues.
Riding the Tiger again and this time bound for HKG. No posting till I get back middle of next week.

Until recently scientists had only been able to say that more extreme weather is "consistent" with climate change caused by greenhouse gases that humans are emitting into the atmosphere. Now, however, they can begin to say that the odds of having extreme weather have increased because of human-caused atmospheric changes—and that many individual events would not have happened in the same way without global warming . The reason: The signal of climate change is finally emerging from the "noise"—the huge amount of natural variability in weather.
Thanks for stopping by and for the input.
The Day After Tomorrow is a 2004 American/Canadian science fiction disaster film depicting catastrophic effects of global warming in a series of extreme weather events that usher in global cooling and leads to a new ice age . The film was made in Toronto & Montreal and is the highest grossing Hollywood film to be made in Canada (if adjusted for inflation ).


When utility lines are installed underground, it is possible that some unintentional intersections or "cross bores" have been created. A natural gas line crossing through a sewer pipe is rare, but they can co-exist safely and go undetected until the sewer pipe is blocked and needs to be cleared. If a cross bore is present, clearing the sewer can damage the natural gas line and potentially cause a safety hazard for surrounding homes and businesses.
By calling BC One Call before you begin clearing a blocked sewer, you can find out if natural gas lines are intersecting the sewer line and prevent accidents and damages from happening.
Blocked sewer line? Call BC One Call first.
Even if you don't use natural gas, always call BC One Call, as natural gas lines could be nearby.
Call or ask your sewer clearing professional to call BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886. The service is free, easy and available 24 hours a day.
Let the agent know that you're calling about a "sewer service line blockage." BC One Call will notify FortisBC immediately. We'll make every effort to respond within two hours or less.
If a cross bore is found during the inspection, the gas and sewer pipes will be repaired at no cost to you.
Don't begin clearing the sewer with rotating equipment or water jets until inspection has ruled out the presence of a cross bore.
Learn how easy it is to contact BC One Call and have your sewer line inspected for cross-bores, free and fast.
If you have questions, contact BC One Call at 1-800-474-6886 or the FortisBC natural gas Emergency Line at 1-800-663-9911 (24 hours).


In business, your ASPIRATIONS are a key factor in your success or failure. Let's say for an example that you just finished a very successful implementation or you closed a large sale. Everything went perfectly...you did all the right things, the client loved you, you finished on time and on budget, your product produced an immediate ROI and it was a pleasure working with the client. This recent success will impact how you approach your next implementation or sale. The positive outcome will affect your ASPIRATIONS and carry over to your next engagement.
Yet, we don't succeed every time do we? Let's say you just had a horrible implementation or a horrible support session with a client. If you let it, this negative outcome will affect how you go into your next support call or engagement. Or let's say you lost a big sale because a competitor dropped their price. This negative outcome can have an affect your next sale and you're more likely to go in offering a discount based on your past experience. Or worse, you go on your next sales call believing there's no way this prospect will buy what you're selling. More often than we'd like to believe, we let our negative ASPIRATIONS control our outcomes.
Especially after a negative outcome, take a moment and assess where your ASPIRATIONS are and ask yourself if you're justified in your thinking. Heck, maybe you know that you're going up against "that competitor" that always drops their price or you're making a call on a client that's just never happy with anything. Maybe your negative ASPIRATIONS are justified but at least, do the assessment. I think that if you're honest with yourself, you'll find that your negativity is not justified and that it's based on the past not the future.
Only you control your ASPIRATIONS. If you believe that a current client is so tough and unreasonable and no matter what you do you can't satisfy them, you probably can't. If you believe that a customer won't buy at your current price, they probably won't. If you believe that a competitor has more flexibility than you, they probably do. If you believe that your competitor's product is better, it probably is. So before you're next engagement, whatever it is, check your ASPIRATION level. Sometimes it's good to ignore that little voice on your shoulder.
One thing is for sure, if you don't believe your product can compete, if you don't believe you can work with a client, if you don't believe you can reach a positive result, you won't even try.

The negotiation over the US budget and border security is over for now. This negotiation will be a case study for years to come. A lot of negotiating factors went into this deal. First there was a DEADLOCK, then time became an issue and added power and pressure to both parties. Outside parties got involved, these were the 1000s of government employees not getting a paycheck. PLAYER SUBSTITUTION came into play when a bipartisan congressional group was formed with 9 Democrats and 8 Republicans. At this point in the negotiation, both parties had pretty much established what they wanted so the next move was to develop a NEGOTIATING CONCESSION STRATEGY.
In the consulting industry there has been hot debate over time and materials versus value based billing. Keeping track of time adds no value to the customer, and billing by the hour often creates an adversarial relationship. So is there an intrinsic value to time?
As the negotiation over the US budget and border security drones on, I thought it was interesting that the two political parties formed a committee of 9 Democrats and 8 republicans to come up with a compromise. Is this a true form of PLAYER SUBSTITUTION? Not really because in this example Speaker Pelosi would still need to bring it before the congress and if she doesn't like the bill she won't and President Trump still needs to sign the bill into law and if he doesn't like it he won't sign.
Major business management software developers Sage, SAP and Microsoft have all raised prices in recent months with more price increases going into effect in April and May. The motivations for the price increases, other than an attempt to increase profitability, may vary, but the effect on the customer is the always the same.
During my over 20 years of sales presentation training, there was a question that always came up and that's how to introduce and integrate team members into a presentation. There was an excellent example a few weeks ago of what NOT to do and I just want to say that this post in not meant to be political. I'm only using the Democratic rebuttal to President Trump's oval office speech as a training example because it's timely and most everyone watched it or heard about it.
Think about the presentations you've been in as an audience member. The key facilitator introduces him or herself and then they either introduce their team members or allow the team members to introduce themselves. Sounds simple enough but are you missing an opportunity to enhance the reputation of your team?

— Times of India (@timesofindia) August 5, 2016
The assailants unleashed a hale of bullets and flung grenades into the crowds on the outskirts of Kokrajhar, killing at least 13 people and wounding a further 15.
One gunman was killed in the ensuing gun battle with security forces.
Head of Assam State Sarbananda Sonowal was swift to announce monetary compensation to victims of the attack.
A family of one of the victims will receive 500,000 rupees for their loss ($7,470).
Separatist violence
The National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) is an armed separatist group which seeks the establishment of a sovereign state for the Bodo people of remote northeast India.
Although the area where the attack occurred is autonomous to a certain extent, the group wants Bodoland to be given full statehood.
In 2014, a rebel faction of the NDFB killed at least 62 people in Assam.
Hundreds of thousands of people remain displaced from their homes as a result of the violence.

Magsaysay vendors asks to remain in building
Eighteen vendors occupying the Magsaysay Building at the Baguio Public Market are asking the city government to postpone the implementation of the notice to vacate issued earlier due to the building's dangerous and hazardous status.
In a dialogue with City Administrator Bonifacio dela Peña last Oct. 10, the vendors pleaded for them to continue operating their businesses while the city has yet to finalize its plan for the redevelopment of the market.
The vendors claimed that they have not received copies of the reports of the City Buildings and Architecture Office and Bureau of Fire Protection stating that the building is a fire hazard. As per records of the Baguio City Market Authority, there are 50 lessees occupying the building aside from the 38 watch repair stalls outside the structure.
Dela Peña said there is no relocation site for the vendors but the city government has to enforce the eviction and demolition for safety reasons.
"My suggestion is for the vendors to continue their business until December only as humanitarian consideration. But the vendors are asking if they could stay until the city has finalized its market redevelopment plan," Dela Peña said.
While not giving a guarantee, the city administrator said he will bring the request of the vendors to the mayor.
He made a verbal agreement with the vendors that if the mayor will permit them, the vendors shall sign an undertaking that if they will take full responsibility of any untoward incident that may happen within the building.
The barangay hall of Upper Magsaysay located within the building will also be affected. Punong Barangay Precilla Dacanay said if the demolition pushes through, they will transfer to the Baguio City Market Authority office.
The notice to vacate will lapse today. The city government is set to demolish the building and the open space will be temporarily used as parking area. Under the annual budget of the city government for this year that was prepared during the previous administration, P20 million was allotted for the structure's renovation.– Jessa Mardy Samidan

All of us just checked out Grimm Like aka Butterfly A Grimm Love Story, and man did that one do a quantity on my head! I don't know if it was since I had just finished Mission Runway and jumped inside that one, but Grimm Take pleasure in will not get out of my top of your head so there's definitely an issue to it.
Best horror movies ever cannot recommend Grimm Love enough, but don't say we didn't alert you. It'll will enjoy with your head and I still can't get to sleep around this late hour.
We can be pretty jaded when it comes to horror and try to find humor, but there is no instant of levity in Grimm Love, and it is definitely not for a lot of tastes, but his is a really well made film, and it doesn't need to speed along the length of. The pace director Martin Weisz sets is perfect for you to digest (bad pun, I know) these heroes and what has operated them to this point in their activities.
For Grimm Love, naturally it truly is a fictionalized account, although it's done in a very clever way and surprisingly Keri Russell (yeah Felicity) takes on Katie Armstrong, a young North american woman studying Criminal Mindset in Germany finds herself inexplicably drawn to a kill case which would soon become the subject of her thesis.
Best horror movies ever has seen enough good friends in New York City go down a lot of dark paths trying to look like they can belong to something and it usually wound up with them getting hooked on it was eventually called Tina then.
In early 2001 a French man was arrested to get killing, disemboweling, cooking and eating another man. What makes this story so bizarre is that the victim was first a willing participant in the event.
Russell is perfect for this kind of role and I hardly ever would have thought her for this type of thing. The psychology behind Oliver Hartwin, your homosexual cannibal killer whom advertised on the Internet for a fan willing to be murdered and devoured as the ultimate take action of love and self-sacrifice. As a woman whose former relationships have all failed, Katie doubts her very own ability to find love and becomes obsessed with understanding his or her's relationship.
Scheduled for release in Germany on April 9, 2006, the show was banned by a Spanish court for infringing the individual rights. In October 2006, the film won five awards at the Festival de Cine de Sitges: Preferred Director, Best Actor (Thomas Kretschmann and Thomas Huber), and Best Cinematography.
We don't believe it ever before got a theatrical release here in North American either, and I was more than astounded when we stumbled on it at the local Blockbuster. While Ben's recuperating from that horrible car accident we've been in a horror mode and we'd already watched Live Animals, pursued by Project Runway and then Grimm Love.
Best scary movies ever isn't for sure if it's because Grimm Like was based on the true account that made the global news about Armin Meiwes also known as the Cannibal of Rotenburg, but I think who even if I didn't know, this film would've always played with my head.
I think we can almost all relate to getting obsesses or nearly obsessed researching topics and sometimes romanticizing all of them until we are face while using the cold hard reality in the situation, and this happens with Armstrong when faced with looking at the actual videotape of the function. Any thoughts of this for a romantic type final take action are quickly dashed, nevertheless we won't ruin this for those who are prepared to watch this film.
Obviously this is a fictionalized film, but to go to some of those lengths of feeling that you're self worth is mainly to remain eaten says quite a bit for any human psyche. The only flicks that got best horror movies ever feeling that darkness of a film subject was Henry, Portrait associated with a Serial Killer and Young people.
When I first read about this kind of story, it just seemed so horrific and I actually couldn't imagine anyone to be able to make a film about this which will do it justice. Grimm Love does a pretty good work of it though. It stored me throughout the entire dvd and it just held making me feel that darkness and loneliness that was part of their world.


Looks like even the pope has caught World Cup fever.
Before leaving his post, Costa Rica's outgoing ambassador to the Vatican, Fernando Sánchez, decided to make an appeal to the divine for a Costa Rican victory in their quarterfinal game against the Netherlands on Saturday.
Sánchez said his goodbyes to Pope Francis this week, leaving a personalized "Papa Francesco" Costa Rica football jersey behind as a parting gift.
