As the largest, most populated and fastest rising continent on Earth, Asia often is the area of the world where probably the most animal species face extinction resulting from conflicts with humans. The speedy development of land for use by people all over Asia poses a critical menace to many animal species, and plenty of Asian governments do too little too late to protect their very own environments.
Since I can't see any of you I will have to take your word for it if you inform me you raised your hand, but I'm fairly certain you all like animals. You'd probably must be a serial killer not to.


This book is part of (The international political economy of new regionalisms series) published by Ashgate Publishing Limited, England/USA, which seeks the views of scholars of Political science and International relations of various institutions such as International Policy Studies, Monetary Institute of International Studies, European Research Institute, Asian Studies, East Asian Studies and renowned universities of Australia, UK and USA.
Current volume seeks to elicit the opinion of noted scholars about China and the Global Politics of Regionalization, which answers the following five questions: (1) why has China initially involved in the politics of regionalization? (2) What example(s) can be seen as the participation of China in global regionalization which illustrates the use of game of regionalization? (3) What is the role of China in the politics of regionalization? (4) What will be the result of China's participation in global politics of regionalization in 21st century? (5) What are the most important open problems in the politics of regionalization and what are the prospects for China?
The contributors to this anthology include: Carrie Liu Currier, David Scott, Emilian Kavalski (ed.), Enyu Zhang, Feng Zhang, Greg Anderson, Jeremy T. Paltiel, Jian Yang, Jing-dong Yuan, Julie M. Bunck, Manochehr Dorraj, Ralph Pettman, Sheng Ding, Stephen Aris and Yongjin Zhang.
I found this book to be an important contribution to the literature of global political-economy. It collects the views of some renowned scholars in the area. It tells what drew them to the subject, and how they view their own contributions to the discipline and where they see the field of international political economy of new regionalism is going, especially in terms of open questions and answers. The book primarily appeals the political stake holders in global politics and secondly academicians/researchers working in applications of political-economics and its related areas. I think it might be well-suited to graduate students who are looking for dissertation ideas and researchers who are just starting their careers. Here they will find a panoramic overview of the discipline. They will be exposed to the broad range of ideas and research topics that drew these scholars to study the Global Politics of Regionalization and numerous applications to which they might not have given attention. Overall, the book is well structured by the editor.
The book "China and the Global Politics of Regionalization," produced with an consistent eclectic approach is divided in two parts, 15 chapters, note on contributors, abbreviations, acknowledgements, bibliography and an index.
Chapter 1, "Do as I do: The Global Politics of China's Regionalization," serves as an introduction to the engagement of China in international relations deals with the reality of new regionalisms. It asserts that the proliferation of different regionalism reflects the globalizing contestation of the very idea of what the pattern of international politics should look like and how it should be practiced. Thus, if democracy has indeed become the fundamental standard of political legitimacy in the current era, it is to be expected, that the concurrent "democratization" of international relations would enunciate a cacophony of alternative (and non-Western) voices promoting alternative visions of the "appropriate" forms of legitimation and authority in global life. In other words, the study of comparative regionalism reveals the expansion of international societies (pp.1-6).
Chapter 2, "Regionalization in the Tianxia? Continuity and Change in China's Foreign Policy," illuminates the notion and practices of "Tianxia" and probes the patterns of Beijing's international affairs in the light of historical comparisons to contemporary world politics. The article argues that the experience of the past can provide relevant frameworks for uncovering the dynamics of socialization (p.19).
Chapter 3, "A concealed Regionalization without Historical Roots: A New Form of Regionalism is Rising China's Foreign Policy," reviews the impact of China's historical traditions on its current foreign policy practice. The author assumes that there is little in the "international" relations of ancient China that could add to the "historical roots of regionalization." He has analyzed the weaknesses and limitations of China's regionalization signified by its relations with the Global south (pp. 33-44).
Chapter 4, "China's Regionalization Policies: Illiberal Internationalism or Neo-Mencian Benevolence?" interrogates the kind of practices which animate China's commitment to regionalism. It assumes that historical parallels offer useful framework for understanding the kind of foreign policy practice rather than establishing actual roots to the previous experience. Thus, China's regionalization can be read as a "neo-Mencian" foreign policy founded on the capacity of exercise moral leadership (pp. 47-60).
The next two chapters, 5, "Identity, Nationalism, and China's Policy towards Regionalization," and 6, " From Adapting to Shaping: Contextualizing the Practice of Regionalization in China's Foreign Policy," have captured China's regionalization strategies within the frameworks of its domestic and foreign policy making, and found that the inside/outside divide has been a central feature of the study of new regionalism (pp. 63-79).
Chapter 7, "The Reluctance of Hegemons: Comparing the Regionalization Strategies of a Crouching Cowboy and a Hidden Dragon," and Chapter 8, "From Brussels to Beijing: Comparing the Regionalization Strategies of the EU and China," are engaged in a parallel assessment of China's regionalization with USA and EU, which show the similarities and differences between China and the West's two dominant models of regionalization (pp.80-122).
Chapter 9, "China and the Political Economy of Regionalization in East Asia," traces the frameworks of Beijing's involvement in East Asia, and finds that, a conventional political economy approach offers little conclusive evidence on the conflict cooperation propensity of new regionalisms (pp. 123-138).
Chapter 10, "China's Region-Building Strategy in South Asia," outlines the intricacies of China's regionalization of Southeast Asia. It engages with the dominant analytical perspectives promoted for the explanation and understanding of China's agency in the region (pp. 139-152).
Chapter 11, "Spreading the Shanghai Spirit: A Chinese Model of Regionalization in Post-Soviet Central Asia," brings the discussion of China's regionalization to the experience of Central Asia in the form of 'Shanghai Cooperation Organization' (pp. -153-164).
Chapter 12, "Reconstructing the Silk Road in a New Era: China's Expanding Regional Influence in the Middle East," explains Beijing's regionalization of Middle East and Africa (pp. 165-176).
Chapter 13, "Making a Region out of a Continent?," demonstrates that while China's sudden rise provokes concern, fear, and suspicion in the West, in the non-West, Beijing is increasingly starting to be perceived as an appealing alternative (pp. 177-190). Likewise, chapter 14, "China and Latin America: An Evolving Military Dynamic," uncovers the evolving military dynamic of China's regionalization initiatives in Latin America (pp. 191-204). Chapter 15, "China and South Pacific Regionalism: The Rising Power as a Cautious Newcomer," takes this conceptualization to the experience of China's nascent agency in the South Pacific (pp. 205-220).
The book concludes that the Chinese ideas will spread. A significant shift with impact is being observed by the emerging practices of china's regionalization. The global politics of China's dynamics appears to present a viable alternative to Western models as a promising formula for state-led, third-world development. It indicates a "move beyond the West" which requires not only its condemnation, but its "rediscovery and re-imagination". The practise of China's regionalization in the social context of its dynamics reveals the emergence of a world of relational process, which must be studied in relational terms. Patterns of regionalization reveal that while the "security" of Western International Relations theory is still intact, the Western practice of international relations is not (pp.15-16).
The contributions to this book seem to agree that China's regional arrangement indicates a new global governance mechanism. China's outreach to different global locales offers alternative practices of regionalization. In contrast to Western forms of region-building, China's template does not appear to reduce the number of actors involved in the process of negotiation within the international arena. Beijing's outreach appears to multiply (if not complexify) the stratum of practices and interactions in the region (p.10).
This anthology should not be taken as an attempt to suggest that there is singular non-Western regionalization, just as there is no single Western regionalization. It is not an exercise of ordering or classification; instead, it aims to draw attention to the many different kinds of "International Relation Theories" in the world. However, the diversity of perspectives presented in this anthology draws attention to distinct modes of region-building departing from the broad generalizing labels of "Western" and "non-Western". Therefore, the literature on regionalization needs attention to the varieties of new regionalisms permeating global life. Accounting for their proliferation would require an acknowledgement not only of their reality, but also of their validity and legitimacy (p.16).
 In the traditional Chinese worldview there was no concept of "religion". Instead, the distinctive concept used by the Chinese was Tianxia, or the surrounding world. Tianxia has been commonly translated into English as "all under heaven".

EU's European Court of Justice & Germany's Constitutional Court — Game of Courts
(Carlos Jasso/Reuters)
The long dance between the EU's European Court of Justice (ECJ) and Germany's constitutional court (BVG) over the two 'supreme courts'' radically different views of who has the last word on the interpretation of EU law and on the legality of the actions of EU institutions has, for the most part, been at the theoretical level or politely ignored. As a practical matter, it has not mattered much (or at all). That has now changed. The German court has not only taken aim at the operation of the PSPP (the European Central Bank's principal quantitative easing program), but has also said that the ECJ got it wrong when giving the PSPP the all-clear, and thus (effectively) had exceeded its powers.
This is, to put it mildly, a complicated issue, which, FWIW, I look at here. My conclusion:
To have any chance of flourishing, the currency union needs to be supplemented by a fiscal union, but a fiscal union continues to be opposed by the euro zone's "north," which rightly fears that it would be stuck subsidizing a profligate "south" in perpetuity. At the same time, the "north" is unwilling to run the risks that breaking up the euro zone would involve, so much so that it continues to ignore even the least bad option, splitting the euro into northern and southern units.
Until last week, that unwillingness meant that the "north" would, however reluctantly, eventually have to agree to the issuance of euro bonds backed by the euro zone as a whole (perhaps labeled as coronabonds in an effort to pretend that it was a one-off). The question now is whether that is still an option after the BVG's ruling. My guess continues to be that it is, although the bonds will probably have to be structured rather differently from what might have been envisaged just a few weeks ago.
It was always going to take a crisis to force the "north" to give in, and a crisis is coming. What has changed is that the BVG may have ensured that that crisis will be more profound, and trigger even deeper questions about the future of the euro, and about the EU too, than once seemed possible.
Over at the Financial Times, Martin Wolf takes a look at what's going on. He's less sympathetic than I am to the underlying legal point that the BVG is making — although there's plenty of room to argue about some of the specifics of its judgment — but then he looks at what might happen next:
If the German court is ultimately satisfied that the ECB adequately assessed the economic impact of its purchases, the PSPP might continue. But the court has reduced the ECB's future flexibility by limiting its holdings of any member country's debt to 33 per cent of the outstanding total and insisting that asset purchases be allocated according to member states' shares in the ECB.
It's worth noting that the ECB had dropped the 33 percent cap for the ECB's PEPP, the €750 billion 'mini' (I'm amazed as I use that adjective) quantitative-easing program designed to provide relief from the effects of the pandemic and the efforts to fight it, but will it still be prepared to ignore that limit? There's general agreement that PEPP was already not going to be enough to pull Italy out of the abyss into which it is clearly now tumbling (and keep an eye on Spain too). Italy, I should add, is the third-largest economy in the euro zone. It's not Greece.
Back to Wolf:
The ECB cannot be accountable to a national court [the BVG would disagree, albeit under very limited circumstances]. But the Bundesbank could provide the court with the proportionality analysis [to oversimplify wildly, the BVG has said that if this analysis can be shown to be reasonable, it will give its OK to the PSPP]. Maybe that would be enough, albeit also a bad precedent. Or, the decision could be ignored. If a German court can ignore the ECJ, maybe the Bundesbank can ignore that court.
That won't happen. For Germany's central bank to ignore Germany's constitutional court, even if under EU, if not German, law (conflict of laws is a fiendishly complex topic), it is entitled to, will trigger a constitutional crisis in Germany that no one should want to see. For obvious reasons, Germany has a very strong constitutional court.
Or, suggests, Wolf, "alternatively, the ECB could just abandon efforts to rescue the eurozone and accept whatever outcome emerges." I don't think that will happen either. One of the reasons that the euro is still around is the immense political capital that has been sunk into it. The ECB will not just sit by.
Wolf:
More radically, the EU could act to create the needed degree of fiscal solidarity. But the obstacles to this are large. A new treaty looks out of the question in today's environment of intense mutual distrust. Finally, Germany could boldly secede from the eurozone. Yet, before it makes such a decision, one hopes it, too, will be required to do a full analysis of whether that would be "proportionate".
In fact, the least bad option would be if Germany did secede from the eurozone, although it would be better if it had done so a decade ago or more, and taken a number of other 'northern' countries with it, perhaps via the division of the euro that I refer to above. Again, as mentioned above, there are no signs that Germany's political class are prepared to go down this route.
Wolf concludes that "one point is clear: The constitutional court has decreed that Germany, too, can take back control. As a result it has created a possibly insoluble crisis."
And this is not something that the BVG, which is far from being a euroskeptic redoubt (it just takes its constitutional duties seriously) will want to see.
Meanwhile, (as the Financial Times reports), Peter M Huber, who drafted last week's BVG opinion, was in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, a remarkable development, as some commentators have observed: Judges don't normally discuss a case so shortly after a ruling.
In his interview, Mr Huber said he had expected criticism but was "amazed at how one-sided and impassioned" it was. He said that the issue had been brewing for years: for the past 50 years "nearly all national constitutional and supreme courts had been taking issue" with the ECJ's assertion of the primacy of European over national law, he told FAZ.
As long as there was no European state, each member state must comply with its own constitutional law, he said. States "must be open to the primacy of application of European law, but [they] can also stipulate limits", he said, noting that senior judges in other EU countries, such as Denmark and the Czech Republic, had also declared rulings of the ECJ "ultra vires" — that is, they had concluded that the court had acted outside its mandate.he issue had been brewing for years: for the past 50 years "nearly all national constitutional and supreme court
Possibly the most interesting item in the story (but read the whole thing) is this:
One option the ECB executive board is weighing up is the publication of the private documents that it had transmitted to the ECJ in 2018 and underpinned the court's 2018 judgment that the sovereign bond-buying programme was legal, according to people briefed on the discussions.
Earlier reports had suggested that the ECB's governing council was unwilling to do this because of the precedent that would be set, but the clock is ticking (the BVG has set a three-month deadline for the Proportionality Assessment on the PSPP) and my guess is that anything that looks remotely reasonable will be enough to satisfy the BVG.
It might be a messy, intellectually and legally incoherent solution, but, if so, it will not be the first time that messy, intellectually and legally incoherent solutions have been deployed to save the euro.
Meanwhile, the question of how to rescue Italy remains unanswered.

The State has been without a substantial capital bill for years.
Chris Koos said not all stakeholders are at the table yet.
"A number of utility CEOs are being highly considered for a transition team. Not knowing these individuals and how they would react, I would hope that it would be more broad based, that they would bring some community members in, elected officials at the local level," Koos said on GLT's Sound Ideas.
Koos said he hopes a broad-based capital bill will pass the General Assembly.
"You know people talk about job growth and things like that. Infrastructure is a piece of that. If you have solid infrastructure in a community, businesses will be attracted to the state," said Koos.
He said infrastructure is a need for the state and an economic stimulant.

After noticing what he calls a lack of student impact on local government, an Illinois State University student announced his candidacy for Normal Town Council.
Alex Campbell is a junior marketing major. He said the Town of Normal has historically missed a student perspective and voice on the council.
Campbell said his input would provide a voice for university student residents.
One of the candidates running for Normal Town Council wants to see a different approach to economic development.

The Kardashian-Jenner family has ruled Twitter for the past few months, from news of Kylie's secret pregnancy to Paris Hilton dressing up as Kim to promote Kanye West's new Yeezy releases. And most recently, people are noticing that Khloé Kardashian looks a lot like Elvis Presley.
Yes, the Elvis Presley, King of Rock 'n' Roll, and American legend.
On Thursday, @ThatDudeMCFLY responded to a colorized photo of Elvis in army garb, pointing out that he looked a lot like the youngest Kardashian sister.
Here's the photo of Elvis: eyebrows sharp, lips pursed, and is that a hint of mascara?
Here's a picture that Khloé posted on Instagram two weeks ago.
The idea that Khloé Kardashian is Elvis Presley's doppelgänger isn't exactly new — it's been around since at least 2016, when an article on the website SheKnows listed a few celebrities that may be Khloé's real father than Robert Kardashian. The article's conclusion: Khloe looks nothing like any of the men on the list, including her own father, except for Elvis.
Obviously, Elvis can't actually be Khloé's real father. He died in 1977, and Khloé wasn't born until 1984. But the Kardashians and the Presleys do have connections. In his book The Kardashians: An American Drama, Jerry Oppenheimer claims that Robert Kardashian had an affair with Elvis' wife Priscilla before he married Kris Jenner.
This is the guy who's known for writing unauthorized celebrity biographies, who the New York Times once called "good at digging up dirt and molding it into the kind of unsparingly nasty page turner that is both titillating and embarrassing to read," so he's definitely a credible source.
Here's the shot of Elvis and Khloé's "DMV Vibes" Instagram.
And another of them making the same face.
They even have the same smile!
And here is a totally professional Photoshop of the two celebrities' faces blended together.
Do they look alike? Twitter user @scottysdobrik doesn't care as long as you don't say that Elvis looks like Khloé.
After all, he did make headlines first.

Q: Expressjs Hidden Sensitive POST Information I have a sign up and login form that uses passport.js authentication and bcrypt to encrypt the password, but I noticed that my POST method form submission comes displays the password value in plain-text rather than the bcrypt encryption. I am testing this locally, but plan on enabling https. Should I be nervous about this? Is there a certain adjustment that I should make to my form tags that I am not including?

                    <button type="submit">Login</button>

            </form>

Here is my login route:
siteRoutes.route('/login')

    .get(function(req, res){
        res.render('pages/site/login.hbs',{

    }));

A: Standard practice, no need to worry. Go check what you send out when logging in to Facebook for example. Just make sure to use SSL in production, it's there to protect that sensitive information.
You need the plain text password in your application to verify it matches the hash. If you would send the hash and just compare that against a hash in database your database would effectively contain plain text passwords for each user. After all, the hash is just a string.

Thomson Vineyards
Grapes For Sale
In 1938 Jennie Ophelia Barnum Thomson purchased land on Los Carneros Avenue at a property tax auction. The day following the purchase she deeded the property to her husband Matthew Alston Thomson Jr. and father in-law Mathew Alexander Thomson Sr. The family farmed the land (pears, apples, and prunes) under the name "M.A. Thomson" until 1965 when M.A. Thomson was the last grower to have a pear contract in Napa County with California Canners and Growers.
2013 & 2014 Vintages In Production
In 1950 M.A. Thomson received a federal soil conservation grant to build the Carneros Creek flashboard dam and later in 1955 to build a 20 acre foot reservoir to irrigate the land. At just 12 years old and the oldest of five siblings, George Alexander Thomson was responsible for the spraying, spray reports, cultivation, irrigation and delivery of fruit. At that time harvest lasted 10 days and George was tasked to deliver 10 ton of fruit every day for 10 days during harvest to the Southern Pacific Railroad station, what is now the intersection of Trancas and Redwood Road in Napa Valley. The fruit was shipped across California by railway. Because of his irrigation knowledge George went to work for Rene di Rosa when he was a junior in high school. He was responsible for the irrigation, rootstock, grafting and planting and general vineyard management for the de Rosa vineyards through his graduation from Sonoma State University.
In 1970 M.A. Thomson family members began planting 50 acres of dry farmed vineyards on Cuttings Wharf Road, 30 acres on Los Carneros followed and because of the designated water rights Thomson Vineyards were the first irrigated vineyards in Los Carneros. Matthew A. Thomson Jr., Mason Iund and Abbott Williams planted the land with a combination of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Matthew A. Thomson Jr., in his late seventies, transferred the responsibility of M.A. Thomson on his sons George and Matt Thomson in early 2000. Two acres of Merlot were planted on Monticello Road in the late 1990s. Between 2000 and 2011 George, "The Farmer" was solely responsible for the vineyards at Los Carneros Avenue and Monticello Road and often lent farming and harvest help to step-brother David Iund at Iund Vineyards.
In 2009 George's oldest daughter Jennifer R. Thomson began her apprenticeship harvesting and hauling fruit for George and David. Picking what George calls, "the absolute worst time to get into farming" Jennifer single-handedly managed the 2011 harvest known by wine critics and industry insiders as the most challenging vintage in Napa Valley since 1998.
By 2012 Jennifer assumed full operation of both the Los Carneros Avenue Vineyard and George's Monticello Road Vineyard. Just as her father and grandfather have done before her, she lends support to David at his Cuttings Wharf Vineyard. In 2015 Jennifer purchased and planted six and a half more acres in the Los Carneros AVA. She continues to replant approximately six acres annually at the Thomson Home Ranch selecting heritage clone Pinot Noir and Italian clone Chardonnay to differentiate the business in the competitive 2019 marketplace. In 2020 she will plant six acres of Pinot Blanc, further diversifying the business offerings.
Awarded the Huevos Badge on December 11, 2010 by the Vinotology Wine Blog for writing some of the ballsiest blog posts in the wine industry, Jennifer's blogging (among other things) has taken a back seat while she rejuvenates old systems and infrastructure, updates equipment, turns water into wine and swaps between boots and heels in the vineyard and California wine scene. She holds a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Communications from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). Her thesis is titled The Economic Climate of the California Wine Industry.
Jennifer is dedicated to the legacy of farming premium winegrapes in the Napa Valley just as the three previous generations have done before her and championing the role of women in farming just as her grandmother and great grandmother did.

Nicolai Alexander Schumann (* 6. März 1992 in Frankfurt am Main) ist ein deutscher American-Football-Spieler für Berlin Thunder in der European League of Football (ELF). Er spielt in der Offensive als Tight End und Wide Receiver. Sein größter Erfolg war der Gewinn der deutschen Meisterschaft 2019 mit den New Yorker Lions aus Braunschweig.

Werdegang
Schumann begann im Jahr 2010 bei den Berlin Bullets Juniors in Marzahn mit dem American Football. Zur Saison 2013 wechselte Schumann zu den Berlin Adlern in die höchste deutsche Spielklasse. In seinem ersten Jahr kam er vorrangig als Defensive End zum Einsatz, doch wechselte er bereits in seiner zweiten Saison auf die Position des Wide Receivers in die Offensive. Gemeinsam mit den Adlern gewann er im Juli 2014 den Eurobowl XXVIII gegen die New Yorker Lions. In der Saison 2015 fing Schumann 23 Pässe für einen Raumgewinn von 411 Yards und erzielte dabei drei Touchdowns. Darüber hinaus wurde er vereinzelt als Kicker eingesetzt. Diese Position füllte er auch im Jahr 2016 aus und verwandelte dabei mehr als 95 Prozent der Extrapunkt-Versuche. Zur Saison 2017 wechselte Schumann zu den Berlin Rebels. Dort entwickelte er sich zur zweitbeliebtesten Anwurfstelle und erzielte neun Touchdowns.

Anfang Februar 2018 wurde Schumann von den New Yorker Lions verpflichtet. In seiner ersten Saison für die Braunschweiger kam er in fünfzehn GFL-Spielen zum Einsatz und wurde hinter dem Kicker der zweitbeste Scorer des Teams. Während er mit den Lions den Eurobowl XXXII gewinnen konnte, schied er vor heimischen Publikum gegen die Frankfurt Universe im Halbfinale der GFL-Play-offs aus. Auch in der Saison 2019 galt Schumann als einer der Stützpfeiler des Lions Angriffs. Mit neun Touchdowns in siebzehn Spielen trug er erheblich zum Gewinn des German Bowl XLI bei, womit Schumann erstmals deutscher Meister wurde.

Zur historisch ersten Saison der European League of Football 2021 wurde Schumann von der neu gegründeten Franchise Berlin Thunder verpflichtet: "Ich bin ein Fan von diesem Pilotprojekt und möchte Teil der Pioniertruppe sein. Viele Footballer in Deutschland haben von einer größeren Medienpräsenz geträumt. Das war in der GFL schwierig", begründete Schumann seine Rückkehr nach Berlin. Beim zweiten Saisonspiel gegen die Stuttgart Surge erzielte er nach einem Pass von Calvin Stitt einen 66-Yard-Touchdown, seinen ersten in der ELF. Im weiteren Saisonverlauf verpasste Schumann verletzungsbedingt ein Spiel und war fortan angeschlagen. Er schloss das Jahr mit drei Receiving-Touchdowns ab und verpasste mit Thunder die Play-offs deutlich. Nach Abschluss der regulären Saison wurde Schumann in das ELF All Star Team berufen, welches gegen eine US-Auswahl antrat. Ende Oktober verlängerte Thunder den Vertrag mit Schumann um eine weitere Saison.

Nationalmannschaft
Schumann wurde zu den World Games 2017 in Breslau in das deutsche Nationalteam berufen. Dort war er Teil der ersten europäischen Mannschaft, die die Delegation der Vereinigten Staaten schlug. Schumann warf dabei bei einem Trickspielzug im letzten Viertel den entscheidenden Touchdown-Pass auf Kwame Ofori. Nach einer Niederlage im Finale gegen das französische Nationalteam gewann Deutschland schließlich die Silbermedaille.

Bobsport
Im Jahr 2020 wechselte Schumann als Mitglied des SC Potsdam zum Bobsport. Anfang November fuhr er auf der Bobbahn Altenberg als Anschieber erstmals in einem Schlitten.

Statistiken

Privates
Schumann besuchte das Einstein-Gymnasium Neuenhagen. Nach seinem Abitur 2011 ließ sich Schumann zum Großhandelskaufmann ausbilden. 2021 schloss er den Ein-Fach-Bachelor Sporttherapie und Prävention an der Universität Potsdam ab.

When the work and school day ends for Crystal, Jonathan, Mia and Jonathan Fowler Jr., family time begins. Since October 2017, family play with a purpose takes place at Barra Jiu-Jitsu gym in Gainesville.
The Gracie Barra gym in Gainesville is owned and operated by Jose and Jessica Alvarez, under head instructor Fabio Costa, a fourth degree black belt. Jose first discovered and fell in love with the art of Jiu-Jitsu while recovering from an injury while in the ROTC. Fueled by the passion to enhance his training and to build a safer community for families in Gainesville, the Alvarez couple invested their life savings to open the school.
Jiu-Jitsu, a form of martial arts, translates to mean "the gentle art." It is one of the most rapidly growing arts in the world, because it requires both functionality and fitness. The essence of the art is rooted in its origins of self-defense. The values instilled in the art of Jiu-Jitsu can be applied in any of our day-to-day goals, whether we seek greater fitness, flexibility, self-defense, or self-esteem.
family has shared this art with the world and has extended an open invitation to all who seek a more gentle and humble path for their family, not just on the Jiu-Jitsu mats, but in every arena of life. The training model focuses on promoting the family unit while simultaneously instilling core values such as respect, discipline, cooperation, and teamwork. There are currently over 700 Gracie Barra schools throughout the world, drawing together people from all cultures to share this passion.

is a Japanese racing driver who is set to compete for United Autosports in the European Le Mans Series. He is best known for winning the 2019 Euroformula Open Championship before competing in the FIA Formula 2 Championship from 2020 to 2022.

He is not related to former Formula One driver Takuma Sato.

Early career

Formula 4
In 2015, Marino Sato competed in the 2015 Italian F4 Championship for Euronova Racing/Vincenzo Sospiri Racing. He finished on the podium once and came 10th in the final standings. Sato would remain with the team for the 2016 Italian F4 Championship. However, even when he won a race at Imola, he only finished 18th in the driver's championship.

FIA Formula 3 European Championship

2017
Sato progressed to the 2017 FIA Formula 3 European Championship to drive for Motopark. He scored one point during the season and finished 19th in the standings.

2018

Despite having been the second-lowest driver in the standings to compete at every event, he was retained for the 2018 season. His performance improved compared to 2017, and he finished 16th in the championship.

Euroformula Open
He moved to the Euroformula Open Championship in 2019. He dominated the championship, winning it with nine victories and helped Motopark to win the team championship.

FIA Formula 2 Championship

2019
In the Summer of 2019, Sato progressed to the FIA Formula 2 Championship, replacing Arjun Maini at Campos Racing from the round at Spa-Francorchamps onwards. However, after the fatal accident of Anthoine Hubert, the Japanese racer would not officially make his F2 debut until the Monza feature face, finishing twelfth overall. He improved to eleventh in the sprint, before having a point-less pair of races in Sochi. Sato would briefly challenge for points in the season finale in Yas Marina, albeit it was not enough to earn him a points finish. Despite this, he took part in the post-season test on the week after the final race, driving for Trident.

2020
In 2020 he signed for Trident Racing to partner Roy Nissany in the FIA Formula 2 Championship. Sato only managed to score one point at Mugello, and eventually finished 22nd in the standings, four points and three positions behind Nissany.

2021
Despite this, the Japanese driver was kept on by Trident for the 2021 season. In the second race of the first round he equalled his best ever F2 result, finishing eighth and scoring one point. However, this would end up being the only points finish for Sato, as he ended up 21st overall.

2022

Sato remained in the series in 2022, this time joining Virtuosi Racing alongside Jack Doohan. A point-less opening weekend in Bahrain was followed up by his first points finish of the year, as Sato ended up eighth in the sprint race at Jeddah, after which he praised the team for the strong pace. After a pair of rounds that failed to yield any points, the Japanese driver broke his duck in Monaco, and managed to finish eighth in the subsequent feature race in Baku, having managed to steer clear of trouble in a race of attrition. The following rounds brought with them a heap of bad luck, with Sato experiencing multiple mechanical issues, as well as having a wheel falling off after a pit stop in Zandvoort, a race in which he had fought for points. Having failed to score points in the second half of the season, the Japanese driver finished 22nd in the drivers' standings.

Sato was replaced by Amaury Cordeel at Virtuosi for the 2023 season.

Formula One
Sato drove in the end of season Young Driver Test in Abu Dhabi for Scuderia AlphaTauri, alongside fellow countryman Yuki Tsunoda (who would soon become an AlphaTauri race driver). He ended the session with the 13th fastest time (1:38.495), reflecting on that day as one that "made [him] visualise more what [his] dream is".

Sportscar career

2023: ELMS debut
For the 2023 season, Sato transitioned into sportscar racing, drving for United Autosports in the LMP2 category alongside Philip Hanson and Oliver Jarvis.

When the kidneys are damaged, the protein albumin, normally found in the blood, will leak into the urine. Proteins are large, complex molecules that perform a number of important functions in the body.
A health care provider may refer a child with nephrotic syndrome to a nephrologist—a doctor who specializes in treating kidney disease. A child should see a pediatric nephrologist, who has special training to take care of kidney problems in children, if possible. However, in many parts of the country, pediatric nephrologists are in short supply, so the child may need to travel. If traveling is not possible, some nephrologists who treat adults can also treat children.
The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs, each about the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one on each side of the spine. Every day, the kidneys filter about 120 to 150 quarts of blood to produce about 1 to 2 quarts of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. Children produce less urine than adults and the amount produced depends on their age. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through tubes called ureters. The bladder stores urine. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra, located at the bottom of the bladder.
Kidneys work at the microscopic level. The kidney is not one large filter. Each kidney is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron filters a small amount of blood. The nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule. The nephrons work through a two-step process. The glomerulus lets fluid and waste products pass through it; however, it prevents blood cells and large molecules, mostly proteins, from passing. The filtered fluid then passes through the tubule, which sends needed minerals back to the bloodstream and removes wastes.
Each kidney is made up of about a million filtering units called nephrons. Each nephron filters a small amount of blood. The nephron includes a filter, called the glomerulus, and a tubule.
While idiopathic, or unknown, diseases are the most common cause of primary childhood nephrotic syndrome, researchers have linked certain diseases and some specific genetic changes that damage the kidneys with primary childhood nephrotic syndrome.
The cause of secondary childhood nephrotic syndrome is an underlying disease or infection. Called a primary illness, it's this underlying disease or infection that causes changes in the kidney function that can result in secondary childhood nephrotic syndrome.
Congenital diseases—diseases that are present at birth—can also cause childhood nephrotic syndrome.
Minimal change disease involves damage to the glomeruli that can be seen only with an electron microscope. This type of microscope shows tiny details better than any other microscope. Scientists do not know the exact cause of minimal change disease.
"Focal" means that only some of the glomeruli become scarred.
"Segmental" means damage affects only part of an individual glomerulus.
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is a group of disorders involving deposits of antibodies that build up in the glomeruli, causing thickening and damage. Antibodies are proteins made by the immune system to protect the body from foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses.
Other causes of secondary childhood nephrotic syndrome can include certain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and exposure to chemicals, such as mercury and lithium.
More information about underlying diseases or infections that cause changes in kidney function is provided in the NIDDK health topic, Glomerular Diseases.
Which children are more likely to develop childhood nephrotic syndrome?
In cases of primary childhood nephrotic syndrome for which the cause is idiopathic, researchers are unable to pinpoint which children are more likely to develop the syndrome. However, as researchers continue to study the link between genetics and childhood nephrotic syndrome, it may be possible to predict the syndrome for some children.
What are the signs and symptoms of childhood nephrotic syndrome?
What are the complications of childhood nephrotic syndrome?
infection. When the kidneys are damaged, a child is more likely to develop infections because the body loses proteins that normally protect against infection. Health care providers will prescribe medications to treat infections. Children with childhood nephrotic syndrome should receive the pneumococcal vaccine and yearly flu shots to prevent those infections. Children should also receive age-appropriate vaccinations, although a health care provider may delay certain live vaccines while a child is taking certain medications.
blood clots. Blood clots can block the flow of blood and oxygen through a blood vessel anywhere in the body. A child is more likely to develop clots when he or she loses proteins through the urine. The health care provider will treat blood clots with blood-thinning medications.
high blood cholesterol. When albumin leaks into the urine, the albumin levels in the blood drop. The liver makes more albumin to make up for the low levels in the blood. At the same time, the liver makes more cholesterol. Sometimes children may need treatment with medications to lower blood cholesterol levels.
Taking a medical and family history is one of the first things a health care provider may do to help diagnose childhood nephrotic syndrome.
A health care provider may order the following urine tests to help determine if a child has kidney damage from childhood nephrotic syndrome.
Dipstick test for albumin. A dipstick test performed on a urine sample can detect the presence of albumin in the urine, which could mean kidney damage. The child or a caretaker collects a urine sample in a special container. For the test, a nurse or technician places a strip of chemically treated paper, called a dipstick, into the child's urine sample. Patches on the dipstick change color when albumin is present in urine.
Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio. A health care provider uses this measurement to estimate the amount of albumin passed into the urine over a 24-hour period. The child provides a urine sample during an appointment with the health care provider. Creatinine is a waste product filtered in the kidneys and passed in the urine. A high urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio indicates that the kidneys are leaking large amounts of albumin into the urine.
A blood test involves drawing blood at a health care provider's office or a commercial facility and sending the sample to a lab for analysis. The lab tests the sample to estimate how much blood the kidneys filter each minute, called the estimated glomerular filtration rate, or eGFR. The test results help the health care provider determine the amount of kidney damage. Health care providers may also order other blood tests to help determine the underlying disease that may be causing childhood nephrotic syndrome.
Ultrasound uses a device, called a transducer, that bounces safe, painless sound waves off organs to create an image of their structure. A specially trained technician performs the procedure in a health care provider's office, an outpatient center, or a hospital. A radiologist—a doctor who specializes in medical imaging—interprets the images to see if the kidneys look normal; a child does not need anesthesia.
Kidney biopsy is a procedure that involves taking a small piece of kidney tissue for examination with a microscope. A health care provider performs the biopsy in an outpatient center or a hospital. The health care provider will give the child light sedation and local anesthetic; however, in some cases, the child will require general anesthesia. A pathologist—a doctor who specializes in diagnosing diseases—examines the tissue in a lab. The test can help diagnose childhood nephrotic syndrome.
When the health care provider suspects a child has minimal change disease, he or she often starts treatment with medications without performing a biopsy. If the medication is effective, the child does not need a biopsy. In most cases, a health care provider does not perform a biopsy on children younger than age 12 unless he or she thinks that another disease is the cause.
Health care providers treat idiopathic childhood nephrotic syndrome with several types of medications that control the immune system, remove extra fluid, and lower blood pressure.
Control the immune system. Corticosteroids are a group of medications that reduce the activity of the immune system, decrease the amount of albumin lost in the urine, and decrease swelling. Health care providers commonly use prednisone or a related corticosteroid to treat idiopathic childhood nephrotic syndrome. About 90 percent of children achieve remission with daily corticosteroids for 6 weeks and then a slightly smaller dose every other day for 6 weeks.2 Remission is a period when the child is symptom-free.
Many children relapse after initial therapy, and health care providers treat them with a shorter course of corticosteroids until the disease goes into remission again. Children may have multiple relapses; however, they most often recover without long-term kidney damage.
A health care provider may use these other immune system medications with corticosteroids or in place of corticosteroids.
Remove extra fluid. A health care provider may prescribe a diuretic, a medication that helps the kidneys remove extra fluid from the blood. Removing the extra fluid can often help to lower blood pressure.
Lower blood pressure. Some children with childhood nephrotic syndrome develop high blood pressure and may need to take additional medications to lower their blood pressure. Two types of blood pressure-lowering medications, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, have the additional benefit of slowing the progression of kidney disease. Many children with nephrotic syndrome require two or more medications to control their blood pressure.
While treating the underlying cause, the health care provider will also treat the child to improve or restore kidney function with the same medications used to treat primary childhood nephrotic syndrome.
Caretakers should make sure that children take all prescribed medications and follow the treatment plan recommended by their health care provider.
How can childhood nephrotic syndrome be prevented?
Researchers have not found a way to prevent childhood nephrotic syndrome when the cause is idiopathic or congenital.
Parents or caretakers should talk with the child's health care provider before making any changes to the child's diet.

AKSHAY KUMAR & ASHVINI YARDI'S FIRST REGIONAL FILM, '72 MILES EK PRAVAS' SELECTED FOR THE
PRESTIGEOUS 'PUNE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL'
Second international screening for the Late Rajeev Patil directed '72 Miles Ek Pravas'
After taking the world by storm with their first Bollywood Film Production OMG Oh My God, Akshay Kumar and Ashvini Yardi have embarked on a journey of creating milestones in the entertainment industry with their regional ventures, 72 Miles Ek Pravas, a critically acclaimed Marathi regional film, and Bhaji in Problem, a Punjabi regional film which has garnered admiration internationally.
72 Miles Ek Pravas received positive feedback from international audiences when it was shortlisted at the celebrated London Indian Film Festival. Grazing Goat Pictures has now etched another feather in its hat with the film having its second reputable screening at the illustrious '12th Pune International Film Festival' (PIFF). Of the 500 entries in the international feature competition section for PIFF, 14 films have been shortlisted. Out of 35 entries in the Marathi feature competition, only seven movies have been selected, one of which being 72 Miles Ek Pravas, alongside national award-winning filmmaker Nagraj Manjule's 'Fandry', Aditya Sarpotdar's 'Narbachiwadi', Laxman Utekar's 'Tapaal', Sumitra Bhave and Sunil Sukhtankar's 'Astu', and 'Rege' by Abhijit Panse. Other categories at the festival include, World Competition, Animation, Live Action, Global Cinema 73, Country Focus, Retrospective, Indian Cinema Today, Legends We Remember, Tribute, Special Screening: NFDC and Gems from NFAI.
72 Miles Ek Pravas, which was the duo's debut into regional film fraternity, has stirred waves with its conceptual excellence and moving screenplay. A hard-hitting, poignant tale of a young boy who makes his journey into self-actualization against the backdrop of a rustic India, 72 Miles Ek Pravas, explores a beautiful, coming of age journey for the 13 year old boy Ashok and the companionable relationships he makes through his journey. Akshay and Ashvini are confident that their film will touch the hearts of the audiences at the PIFF and give them a visual introspect of Ashok Vatkar's autobiography. Inspired from the novel with the same name, 72 Miles Ek Pravas explores the impact of a woman named Raddhakka, on protagonist Ashok.
Commenting on the film Ashvini said, "We at Grazing Goat Pictures couldn't have asked for a better end to 2013 and start in 2014. This has been an eventful year for us and to end it on such a positive note has just strengthened our plans further to bring quality entertainment to our audiences. Starting out with OMG which received a phenomenal response followed by the hard hitting 72 Miles Ek Pravas and then ending the year on a lighter note with Bhaji in Problem, this year has been greatly rewarding. However we lost one of our precious jewels Mr. Rajeev Patil which was the greatest loss to our team. We pay our tribute to him and the great work that he has contributed to the Indian film Industry which we can very proudly showcase at such an extensive platform".
Commenting on the film, Akshay Kumar said, "72 Miles marks our first regional film and we're delighted at the great honour and prestige the film has brought to the entire team of Grazing Goat Pictures. This project would have not been what it is today without Mr. Rajeev Patil's impeccable direction and contribution to the film. We hope to continue the legacy and generate entertainment with great substance which will connect with our audiences. We would like to thank all audiences for all the love and appreciation they have bestowed upon us."
Spearheading investment into quality, subject-driven, film-making, Grazing Goat Pictures is taking Hindi and regional cinema to new heights with a range of innovative and fresh projects. Renowned for thought-provoking, unique and emotive film making across boundaries and genres, Grazing Goat Pictures delves deep to bring the audience films that are cutting edge and high-concept, resonating with multiple audiences domestically and across shores.


The fourth largest of Italy's northern lakes lies 20 km north-west of Brecia at an altitude of 180 m. Fed by the River Oglio, it is 25 km long and 251 m deep. In the middle of the lake is Monte Isola, Italy's largest lake island. While the road along the western shore leads past steep cliffs offering spectacular lake views, the main towns are situated on the eastern shore, which is dotted with ancient fishing villages with Romanesque churches and lakeshore promenades in the shade of palm trees. In spite of its excellent infrastructure, Lago d'Iseo is not as tourist-plagued as nearby Lake Garda and Lake Como.
This provincial capital situated between the lakes of Iseo, Idro and Garda was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site for good reason. There can hardly be a comparable city whose history is as completely documented by its architectural monuments as Brescia. The historic city center features streets dating back to Roman times, as well as a Roman shrine dating to the days of the Republic, a Capitoline temple and a Roman theater. The Lombards arrived later during the Migration Period and left behind the monastery of Santa Giulia, which now houses the city museum. Shops, bars and restaurants can be found in the streets surrounding the Piazza della Loggia and there is a weekly market in the city center every Saturday.

Can McIlroy miss at the Masters?
Whisper it quietly: Rory McIlroy might never win the Masters. He might join a select club who never got to slip on a green jacket.
Johnny Miller never did. Neither did Tom Weiskopf, Curtis Strange, Ernie Els, David Duval, Ken Venturi, Nick Price, Tom Kite, Greg Norman or Bert Yancey.
Bert Yancey? We'll get to him.
Barring an absolute miracle, Rory won't win this year's Masters. He's set for his 12th straight year of coming up empty at Augusta National. Fourth in 2015 is his best effort, depending on what happens today.
Who'd have thought we'd have reached 2020 without McIlroy winning at least one Masters. Remember when Darren Clarke said:
"I think he knows he'll win there someday if he just keeps doing what he is doing. He has to win sometime. If he doesn't win at Augusta this year, he'll win next year. If he doesn't win next year, he'll win the year after.
"He's going to win there some time. His game is perfect for there. It's only a question of when. He's that good."
That was six years ago, and Clarke wasn't saying anything out of the ordinary. He was only saying what all of us thought.
Phil Mickelson reiterated Clarke's assertion this week. He said:
"The guy is as complete a player as there is, as well as smart, knowledgeable and works hard. So he'll win and complete the Grand Slam. He's too great a player not to.
"He has so many majors already and such a strong game that winning a Masters will happen. And when it does, I think he's going to win a few."
At age 31 we'd all like to agree with Mickelson, but fair play to Rory for his response to the three-time Masters champion. Rory said:
"Nothing's given in this game. … You have to go out and earn it. You can't just rely on people saying that you're going to win one. Greg Norman never did. Ernie Els never did. There are a lot of great people that have played this game that have never won a green jacket. It's not a foregone conclusion, and I know that. I have to go out and earn it and play good golf.
"I think nowadays, with how many great players there are, I need to play my best golf to have a chance."
That last line is most telling. Rory is no longer king of the castle. His huge advantage was how far he hit it, the fact he had another gear he could slip into that rivals didn't. Not so much now. There are too many players who can now do what Rory does best. Collin Morikawa proved it at the PGA Championship. Bryson DeChambeau did, too, with his six-shot U.S. Open victory. Dustin Johnston has proved it through three rounds this week.
Greg Norman found out that there are no guarantees in golf. He should have won at least one Masters, especially the 1996 edition. He may have done so if he hadn't been paired with Nick Faldo in the final round.
It's hard to believe Els never donned a green jacket. His game seemed better suited to Augusta then the Open Championship or U.S. Open, yet all he has to show for 18 Masters missions are two second places finishes.
Duval, Strange, Kite and Price were all dominant players in world golf for spells yet never won. Price set a course record 63 in 1986, and has four top 10s. Kite had three second place finishes from his 12 top 10s. Duval was second in 1998 and 2001, and third in 2000. Strange would have won the 1985 Masters if not for finding water at the 13th and 15th in the final round. He, too finished second.
Weiskopf had four runner ups. Miller three. They just happened to have been in their pomp when Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Seve Ballesteros were in theirs.
Venturi finished second in 1956 and 1960. He took a four-shot lead into the 1956 Masters when he was still an amateur. He blew up with a final round 80 in shades of Rory's 2011 closing 80 after taking the lead into the final round. Venturi said it took him eight years to get over that Masters meltdown
Yancey? The seven-time PGA Tour winner was so obsessed with winning the Masters he built clay models of Augusta's greens so he could study them at home. It didn't help. He finished third in 1967 and 1968, and fourth in 1970.
McIlroy will get many more attempts to get his arms in a green jacket. Just don't be surprised if it never happens.
P.S. I hope that doesn't come true.

Auckland reopens as New Zealand tries new virus approach
WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Bars, restaurants and gyms reopened in Auckland on Friday as the last major parts of a lockdown that lasted more than 100 days ended.
New Zealand has begun a new phase in its coronavirus response in which there won't be lockdowns but people will be required to be fully vaccinated — and prove it with vaccine passes — in order to access many services.
The government decided that vaccination rates were high enough to switch to the new system, with about 87% of people aged 12 and over fully vaccinated. In Auckland, which has been at the center of the nation's outbreak, the rate is over 90%.
The threat posed by the new omicron variant did not change plans for the reopening, after New Zealand on Sunday restricted travel from nine southern African countries. No cases of omicron have been found in New Zealand and officials remain confident cases will be caught at the border by the quarantine system.
On Friday, there was a feeling of excitement among patrons in Auckland, some of whom visited bars the moment they were allowed to open at midnight.
Michael Barnett, the chief executive of the Auckland Business Chamber, said there was a sense of relief for many business owners, who would try to make the most of the next couple of weeks before Christmas.
He said many owners were trying to come to terms with new obligations to check vaccine passes.
"There were lots of questions, more than anything else," Barnett said. "Questions about 'How do I operate? What do I do? What do I ask?' It was a bedding down day for a lot of businesses."
Some restrictions still remain. Auckland's border to the rest of the country does not reopen until mid-December.
A new "traffic light" system is designed to indicate where outbreaks are putting pressure on the health system. A green designation imposes few restrictions, orange requires more mask wearing and distancing, and red limits gathering sizes to 100 people or fewer.
Auckland and a few other areas have begun at a red light while the rest of the country has begun at orange. The government hopes to move Auckland to orange soon.

Unilever strategy under scrutiny after short-lived GSK skirmish
(Reuters) -Unilever's strategy was under the investor microscope on Thursday after the consumer goods group effectively abandoned its 50 billion pound ($68 billion) pursuit of GlaxoSmithKline's consumer healthcare business. Shares in the maker of brands such as Dove soap and Hellmann's mayonnaise ended down 0.7% after Unilever said on Wednesday that it would not raise a rejected offer. It said its view on the value of the healthcare business had not changed despite GSK lifting financial forecasts for the unit, which is 32% owned by Pfizer and makes products such as Sensodyne toothpaste and Panadol painkillers.
Bills targeting Big Tech to go before U.S. Senate panel
The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee is set to decide Thursday whether the full Senate should vote on two bills aimed at reining in tech giants like Alphabet's Google and Meta's Facebook. Lawmakers are expected to consider an amended version of a bill introduced by Senators Amy Klobuchar, a Democrat, and Chuck Grassley, a Republican, that would bar tech platforms like Amazon from giving preference to their own businesses on their websites. The amended version would expand the definition of the companies covered by the bill to include firms like the popular video app TikTok, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Emerging talents in spotlight at hybrid Paris Fashion Week
PARIS (AP) — A spattering of Paris Fashion Week menswear shows began in earnest this week for the fall-winter season, with French virus restrictions forcing many to an online-only presence. Yet those brands that chose to maintain physical shows — like AMI on Wednesday — may benefit from a relative boost in prominence. As ever, the start of Paris Fashion Week is a moment to showcase emerging talents before the later appearances of industry heavyweights like Dior, Louis Vuitton and Hermes. Here ar

PDA ENDORSES GEOGHEGAN: RHYMES WITH REAGAN, SOUNDS LIKE WELLSTONE
Leave a Comment / February 22, 2009 February 22, 2009
WASHINGTON, DC – Progressive Democrats of America has endorsed Tom Geoghegan in his bid to replace Rahm Emanuel in the House seat representing Illinois' 5th Congressional District.
Following the endorsement of the local PDA chapter on Feb. 9, PDA members across the country were encouraged to vote in an online poll, which closed at midnight last night. Geoghegan won the endorsement with 99% of votes.
Geoghegan is the real deal. Thomas Frank of the Wall Street Journal called Geoghegan "a true reformer." The New Yorker's Hendrik Hertzberg said Geoghegan is "change we can believe in." And, Kathy Pollit of The Nation called Geoghegan, "the next Paul Wellstone."
Geoghegan faces serious challengers in the March 3 special election. Early voting begins today and PDA's Illinois chapters already are working phones and canvassing neighborhoods.
"Special elections have notoriously low turnouts, so the ground game will make all the difference," said PDA National Director Tim Carpenter. "With our help, Geoghegan can win.
"PDA is working to build the progressive infrastructure that will allow President Obama to make the bold progressive reforms necessary to turn around the ship of state. Electing Tom Geoghegan to Congress is a big step in the right direction."
Progressive Democrats of America is one of the nation's fastest-growing grassroots political organizations, with active chapters in 45 states. PDA is dedicated to reviving the progressive tradition of the Democratic Party through grassroots organizing and working with elected Democrats to advance peace, justice and social, economic and environmental responsibility.

This centres around Shannon, one of the vet nurses at Otter House Vets whose practice is in the picturesque fictional market village of Talyton St George in East Devon. When Cathy Woodman was a child she lived in such a village and describes the setting for her stories beautifully. She also grew up to become a veterinary surgeon, which informs her descriptions of the veterinary cases within this novel, adding realism and authenticity to her patient/vet encounters. At the start of this novel we meet the new vet, Ross. Shannon is assigned to Ross as his vet nurse and so their friendship begins as they attend to their various clients and their pets. These are heart-warming cases, sometimes with happy and sometimes with sad endings. Ross and Shannon are attracted to each other and romance blooms between them. It is a tender, loving romance with a bright future stretching ahead until one day Shannon has a horrific accident that changes her life forever.

Flames of the Torch: One Step Forward, Two Steps Back
Torch Editorial Board|April 10, 2013
On Tuesday night, we got word from Mark Benavides, vice president elect of Student Government, Inc. and organizations committee chair, that a scaled down version of the previously-cancelled annual town hall meeting, usually featuring Rev. Donald J. Harrington, C.M., President of the University, would be next Monday, April 15th.
Dr. Kathryn Hutchinson, vice president of student affairs, Dr. Danny Trujillo, associate vice president for student affairs, a person from dining services and possibly other administrators will take the place of Harrington in this new meeting, according to Benavides. It is unclear why Harrington will no longer attend. For a student body and faculty seeking answers, this lack of accountability is unacceptable.
The second issue is an answer to a question that is most likely on the minds of most people reading this editorial – why wasn't this story in the news section of the Torch as well? Simply put, it is because by the time the news reached us regarding this rescheduled town hall meeting, it was too late to put a full article together. That's right – a meeting with the University community in which the students and faculty get to voice their concerns to those who run it still hasn't been publicly announced. And it's less than a week away.
Yes, we received the email from Peter D'Angelo, chairman of the Board of Trustees, yesterday afternoon, which broke the silence regarding the Chang/Harrington/Wile saga. But it added nothing new, and if anything, seemed to signal there was a lot more silence to come.
If University officials truly aim at proving they are handling this situation "in full recognition of its oversight obligations and the best interests of the University and its students, faculty, and staff," they should have displayed greater attention to detail in announcing the rescheduled meeting.
By not releasing information concerning the meeting to the entire student body and faculty at an earlier date, University officials are signaling that they are not fully confident in hosting a forum where any issues beyond student organizations and dining hall operations are discussed.
There's no doubt that the University is acknowledging that there are important issues at hand. However, there's also no doubt that the manner in which the University is discussing these issues does nothing but help fuel the suspicions of the St. John's community.
The faculty petition calls for transparency during the investigation and we acknowledge that yesterday's email to the University community was a step in that direction. However, Harrington owes these forums to the students and the faculty, and by saving him from scrutiny, the University puts its own motives into question yet again.
New board, same commitment
The recently departed editorial board faced the tremendous task of regaining the University's trust in the Torch. It is safe to say they accomplished that.
Now, as we, the new board, take the reigns, we're tasked with the challenge of continuing the strides taken in the last year. It is now our job to carry on reporting the news of the University with integrity, honesty and intensity.
While we are losing staff members that are integral reasons for why students and faculty alike choose to pick up the Torch, we enter into the era of an editorial board that is fully capable of maintaining the high standard that is now expected of us.
We hope that you continue reading as we continue to report the important issues concering our University as well as the stories that sometimes get lost in the shuffle.

This decorated lift is located in the East Village shopping centre, in the inner city suburb of Zetland. The interior has been transformed into a "Disco Lift" with sparkly rainbow theme decorations, disco lights and music for the annual Sydney Mardi Gras. Tonight is the 41st annual Sydney Mardi Gras parade.
ha, I'd like to see that. sweet memories.
Okay... I didn't know disco was still cool!
It sure lift your spirit. Nice.
Happy Mardi Gras week, jim! Is Disco mkaing a come back? Fun!
I don't know. Up close and personal, that just might create a little sensory overload when you add lights and music.
It's actually tastefully done and only one of three lifts was done up. It was funny seeing the kids getting really excited to see the decorated one when the doors opened, as if they hit the jackpot.
Looks like the right place to be during Mardi Gras!

VaynerMedia and VaynerProductions win first-ever Lions
By Reel 360 Jun 24, 2019
The French were kind to NY-based VaynerMedia and its in-house production arm VaynerProductions.
At the 66th Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, VaynerMedia and in-house production company, VaynerProductions, won four Cannes Lions, a first for both companies.
"I'm enormously grateful to work with partners who give us the autonomy to take risks on behalf of their brand," said Gary Vaynerchuk, chairman and CEO of parent company VaynerX. "I'm tremendously proud of VaynerMedia and VaynerProductions; we create content that's culturally relevant and we meet consumers where they are spending their time."
The awards include a Bronze Lion in Film and a Silver and Bronze Lion in the inaugural Entertainment for Sport category for Budweiser's 'Dwyane Wade's Last Swap', and a Silver Lion in Branded Experience & Activation for Miracle Whip's 'No More Mayo'.
Budweiser's multi-award winning execution was an emotionally driven campaign that highlighted not only the career of NBA legend Dwyane Wade, but more importantly the lives he's touched off the court. Reel 360 also gave this wonderful spot our "Reel Ad of the Week." Watch below:
ALSO READ: Reel Ad of the Week: This Bud's for Dwayne Wade
For Miracle Whip, VaynerMedia and VaynerProductions helped put the town of Mayo, Florida back on the map by changing its name to Miracle Whip.
With close to zero dollars in paid media, the idea received over one billion earned media impressions and the brand saw its first sales lift in 12 years.
Vaynerchuk went on to say, "These awards are indicative of our creative capabilities, breadth of knowledge in culture, and our ability to move our partners business. This is just the beginning for our agency."

Q: Update with latest data from git I am using smartgit for accessing files from git. I tried PULL and FETCH option to update. But no change. I don't know what to do?

A: Are you pushing your changes to your origin server?  This is the only way you are going to get your changes to a remote server.

A: The problem of committing to the same branch (or branching from the same head) is that if there is a problem in one pull request, we cannot merge the pull requests after that since the commits exists in all the later pull requests. My suggestion is to create a branch for every new issue fix:
To do so you should first set the upstream in your system (only once)
git remote add upstream

make sure your origin is set to your own fork:git remote -v. After that for each new fix do the following:
1-git checkout -b  <new branch related to pull request>
2- git fetch upstream
3- git reset --hard upstream/<branch>
4- commit to origin
5- make pull request
6- go to 1 for the next issue to fix

This is just a suggestion.

A: I get it. Its because of the extra -b in the command.
