Every year we can expect to get several colds. But there are some simple things you can do that might reduce your chances of getting a cold, or reducing a cold's severity if you do get one.
Short of living alone in a sealed room, it's impossible to avoid the 200 or so viruses that cause colds. These bugs are everywhere from door knobs to other people's hands, to money and shopping trolleys. In fact, you'll find these bugs anywhere that's been contaminated by someone who has a cold; when they've coughed, sneezed or touched a surface. But you won't get a cold if you simply get the virus on your hands. The particles need to make their way into your nose. This can happen if you put your finger up your nose or even touch your eyes. (Viruses in the eye can travel to the nose through the tear ducts.) So washing your hands regularly gets rid of these germs before they can cause you any harm. Keeping your hands away from your face – especially your eyes and nose – also helps.
Most of us know that getting good sleep is essential for good health. This is especially the case when it comes to keeping your immune system in good shape. It's your immune system that helps you to fight off common infections, such as colds. A large body of research has shown that poor sleep and insomnia can affect your immune system and contribute to a wide range of health conditions, including the common cold. It's not clear exactly how much sleep you need to keep your immune system in good shape. Also the amount of sleep you need varies from person to person, which is why some people are able to function reasonably well on very little sleep. But making sure you get plenty of rest can help you want to maintain a strong immune system, which will help you fight winter bugs.
When it's cold outside you might be tempted to spend the winter months curled up inside, huddled on a couch, reading a good book. But getting off the couch and doing some exercise will help you keep those sniffles at bay. Research has shown that exercise is another way to boost your immune system, one study found that people who exercised were less likely to develop a cold and if they did, then it was less severe.
Maintaining a healthy diet, which includes plenty of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, is also believed to help improve your immune system. In fact, it's more likely to do so than topping up on supplements such as vitamin c, zinc or Echinacea. Most of the research into supplements generally suggests that they don't work, and the money you save on supplements you can spend on fresh fruit and vegetables.
There are loads of reasons to avoid smoking. And here's another: smoking destroys tiny hairs that propel mucous from the lungs. This tips the balance in favour of viruses and bacteria, predisposing smokers to bronchial infections and colds.
Don't leave dirty tissues or hankies lying around. It's not just gross, it can also spread your cold. When you cough, sneeze or blow your nose the secretions that end up in your hanky or tissue are teeming with the virus that's making you sick. These viruses can survive for some time once they leave your body, so when you leave a tissue for someone else to pick up you're actually leaving a little virus bomb to go infect someone else's hands. So throw away any used tissues and wash your hands straight away – so you don't spread the germs around. And if you prefer hankies take care not to leave them lying around and be sure to wash them regularly.


The Johnny Cash Show, a summer replacement for ABC's Hollywood Palace variety program, got off to an impressive start on June 7, 1969, with performances by Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell.
Dylan, friends with Cash since they met at the 1964 Newport Folk Festival, was making his first public performance since the Woody Guthrie benefit in January 1968. Dressed in a simple black suit and white shirt, he performed "I Threw It All Away" and "Living the Blues." Cash and Dylan also played "Girl From the North Country," which they'd recently recorded for Dylan's country-flavored LP Nashville Skyline.
"Dylan was nervous because he was out of his real element," Bill Walker, the show's musical director, tells Ultimate Classic Rock. "Dylan was nervous because he'd never worked with other Nashville musicians, other than the couple of people he had playing with him. But then Johnny had a great way of massaging people's feelings. He could talk with them and they'd be just fine."
Taped on May 1, 1969 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Cash, Dylan and Mitchell actually performed a collection of songs that would be used throughout the first season. The June 7 premiere also featured Cash singing "Folsom Prison Blues," "The Wall," "Greystone Chapel," and Dylan's "It Ain't Me Babe" as a duet with wife June Carter Cash. Mitchell sang her hit "Both Sides Now."
"Bob Dylan, as long as he was singing, he was just great," Walker said. "He could do it better than anybody I've ever heard. He and Johnny got on real well. Joni Mitchell didn't need much help; she was a pretty capable musician. Joni was real professional and she was sweet and she was really nice to work with."
Louisiana fiddler Doug Kershaw was also featured on the debut episode. "Johnny liked the Cajun music and he thought that would give it a different flavor," Walker recalled. "He was wild; he always had those strings hanging off his bow. He was a trip."
June would become a regular on the show, along with the Carter family, Carl Perkins, the Tennessee Three and the Statler Brothers, whose "Flowers on the Wall" was a Top 10 hit in 1965.
Everything about Cash's distinctive persona remained intact, something Reid said was important to the country icon. "Whenever you're doing the first of anything, you never are settled," Reid said. "John went into it with a positive attitude: 'If I'm gonna do this, I'm gonna do it right.' He was able to keep the image that he'd already created. He was able to keep the clothes, the black look. He had that rough-hewn attitude and that was his charm, of course."
Dylan was the first guest to tape and didn't realize that the speakers in the auditorium did not work. Audience members had to strain to hear his voice. Dylan graciously re-did his songs once the glitches were solved. But problems became a familiar part of taping a show at the Ryman, the age-old home of the Grand Ole Opry.
"We had terrible conditions there," Walker remembered. "I was conducting the orchestra down in the pit, and I had rats the size of a small cat running across my feet. They'd frighten the heck out of you. I got used to it after a while. The first time they wheeled a sound crane on the stage it fell through the stage. Of course, the stage was eaten up with termites."
Over what would become a two-year run, stars such as Eric Clapton, Linda Ronstadt, Neil Young and James Taylor also appeared on the Cash show. Walker, who worked with Cash for 30 years, said the mix of musical guests reflected both Cash's personal interests and the goal of appealing to a nationwide audience.
The Johnny Cash Show would wrap on March 31, 1971, but the friendship between Dylan and Cash lasted almost four decades until Cash's death in the 2003.


South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem said that the proposal to leave the issue of legalising sports betting in casinos to voters is not ideal. In this, she agreed with state Revenue Deputy Secretary David Wiest.
She said that she is against legalising betting as it would expand gambling in the state. "Well, it sounds like he did a good job identifying my concerns with the legislation as it's coming forward," she said.
The governor added that she is against expanding gambling in South Dakota: "And I look through that lens at any legislation that puts something else on the table for discussion," Noem continued. "Our early indications are pretty clear that opening up state sports gambling to the public could end up costing us more than the actual revenue it would bring in. And so that's a real concern for me. The juice isn't worth the squeeze," she said.
The governor does not have a direct impact on the subject, as legislative resolutions do not go to the governor. Several tribal governments also sent representatives to testify in favour of the Deadwood sports-wagering resolution. Federal law currently says that tribal governments should be allowed to offer the same types of gambling that a state government allows.

There is no street light at the intersection of Capshaw Road and Trailing Creek Road NW at the entrance to Cross Creek subdivision. The entrance is very difficult to see after dark, and many people have commented on how they have trouble finding it after sundown. Our neighborhood would appreciate it if you would consider adding a street light at that intersection, if at all possible. Thank you.
Numerous drainage and road damage issues. Water pools on road every time it rains and typically takes several days to dissipate. These pools are mosquito, insect and algae breeding grounds in warmer months. Road is broken and severely cracked in many locations. Some of the damage areas were caused by city contractor equipment during last year's runway re-surfacing. We were told they would return and repair the damage, but never returned and we were never contacted. There is also a large drop-off at the entrance by the gate where the cement ramp meats the asphalt. Several vehicles have bottomed-out on the cement due to the height difference between the two surfaces.
The city has recently started connecting Barren Fork Blvd to Youpon Dr. This will connect several neighborhoods and Williams School off Barren Fork Blvd to the large subdivision of Lake Forest. There are currently a lot of traffic problems in Lake Forest (speeding throughout the subdivision at all hours of the day and congestion at the main entrance in the mornings). If Barren Fork Blvd is connected to Youpon Drive it will make our traffic problems in Lake Forest even worse as it will increase traffic. Please consider making the connection for emergency vehicles only, our subdivision should not be a cut through that will increase traffic and speeding. There are a lot of children in Lake Forest whose safety should also be considered.
I have tried complaining about this issue before but to no avail. The drainage ditch behind and beside my property has eroded to the point of dangerous conditions. I have already had 2 (two!) trees come down from the side ditch, damaging the fence and destroying the swimming pool. When reported I was told that this was "my problem" and I was responsible for clean up and repair. The fence along the back of the yard has started to fall int the large ditch behind the house. We have lost 3-4 fence posts as they no longer have anything to cling to. The fence is only remaining now because of the few trees that are barely standing to support it. Again, when I reported this (over a year ago) I was told that the city "could not afford" to fix these problems. There are some very large trees clinging to the side of this ditch, some very precarious. What happens when one of them comes down and takes out my house? This is dangerous and needs to be addressed. Thank you.
New street under development in the Dairy at Oak Grove. New street name is South Meadows Drive. At one point in time I ran into Joel Ostrander (site supervisor with Davidson Homes) and asked him when the street lights would be put in and he said he didn't know and they weren't planning on installing them. I thought this was the responsibility of the builder / land developer to install these along with the city. Homeowners will be moving onto that street in 2 months or less and this will pose a security risk.
Here we go AGAIN! The intersections of Chaney Thompson - Mt. Gap and Chaney Thompson - Wynsom are back to being very dangerous during school drop off and pick up times. I witnessed 2 near misses on Chaney Thompson and 3-4 on Wynsom this morning alone. All of these were from drivers not following traffic laws: making U-turns at street entrances, not yielding to oncoming traffic, not having proper following distances (sometimes barely any distance at all), etc. We have asked repeatedly for increased traffic enforcement at these intersections. It has been periodically provided and individuals continue the dangerous behaviors in front of officers with no penalty. At what point is the safety of those around the school important? I've been nearly hit several times by people using my driveway as a turnaround at unsafe speeds. When will the safety of children walking home become a priority? Please help make our neighborhood safe again.
Picnic table has been removed from its concrete pad. I know it puts it under the shade tree but it was not originally meant to be there.
407 Holmes Avenue NE has a public sidewalk that is made of bricks and there are some areas where the bricks are not level creating a tripping hazard. 403 and 405 Holmes Avenue NE also have the same brick sidewalk.
"No sidewalk shall be built of brick or of any material other than that prescribed by the Engineering Standards for Construction of Public Improvements (1991 edition) unless authorized by the city engineer."
The city needs to remove the brick sidewalks at the properties on Holmes Avenue that have them and replace with poured in place concrete like the majority of the street has.
Sec. 23-85. - Material for sidewalks.
No sidewalk shall be built of brick or of any material other than that prescribed by the Engineering Standards for Construction of Public Improvements (1991 edition) unless authorized by the city engineer.
This was torn up due to installation of the google fiber lines. They repaired with asphalt but there was concrete there. Request they put it back to concrete. Located behind 6 Beck Street.
Wall Triana from Dunlop to this dumping site is a MESS. Follow the red dirt road. It is especially a mess at the round turn where Wall Triana turns north but both North and Southbound outside lanes are covered in red dirt and dust.
The contractor looks to have taken a water truck to the ramp to try and clean it up, but it only made it all worse. They have been tracking dirt and debris into the roadway all weekend.
They need to establish a concrete clean off location at both the dumping site and where ever they are leaving from. Wall Triana should also be street swept and washed in some capacity. What is the point of cleaning your car if you get a nice red mist every time you drive through this area - which is the main entrance/egress to multiple subdivisions.
I understand the growth in our area, but the lack of respect for citizens/roadways from construction/contractors is getting a little ridiculous. Not to mention - many of these trucks have been hauling untapped with debris flying out the back which is a safety hazard.
This needs to be addressed. Both short term and long term.
Traffic circle has been in place for many years and numerous drivers still are not maneuvering it correctly. Providence Main exiting to Old Monrovia eastbound is the only traffic immediately allowed in the right lane but traffic in the circle from the other feeders often exits the circle directly into the right lane crossing the solid white line. Domed traffic control devices need to be installed along the pavement's white line to help direct traffic correctly. The white line has been repainted more frequently than other lines because of the right of way violations. See attached view; domes needed along drawn red line.

Ahuntsic Area
The demographic growth of the Ahuntsic area part of Ahuntsic-Cartierville borough is closely related to the development of its transportation systems.
A growth that started with the waterway transport on the Rivière-des-Prairies at the beginning of the colony, followed by the construction of the Canadian National Railroad during the Second World War and the opening of the Montreal Metro in 1966.
Ahuntsic Area Characteristic
The area had and still has the reputation of being beautiful and upscale. A reputation clearly justified when one looks at its waterfronts, its numerous parks, its cottages, its bungalows and its beautiful historic homes along the Gouin Boulevard.
Then again, the monthly income of a certain part of the population is sometimes too low to properly cover basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing.
The rate of poverty in the area compares well with other areas. However, and despite its reputation for being a wealthy area, a larger part of the population is now under the poverty line and neighbourhood solutions need to be offered and applied.
Immigration to Montreal and to Ahuntsic
Immigration is gradually changing the social portrait of a population that, nonetheless, is still mainly French. Recent immigrants are often poor and the integration is sometimes slow and difficult despite the fact that neighbourhood youth family services are available.
Those most affected are aboriginals, families with single-parent mothers, children and mentally ill and physically handicapped people. The number of single-parent families is increasing and so is the number of people living alone in housings that often show various signs of decay.
Center North of the Ahuntsic Area
There has always been a strong religious presence in the Center North of the Ahuntsic area. Many health and scholar establishments now occupy buildings that were built decades or centuries ago by religious communities. Constructions that were built to last, that are still standing and that reflect our sociocultural evolution.
Among them, the Centre d'hébergement Laurendeau on Gouin Boulevard East, the Collège Mont-Saint-Louis on Henri-Bourassa Boulevard, the École secondaire Sophie-Barat also on Gouin East, the Collège Andre-Grasset on Crémazie Boulevard, the Collège Ahuntsic on Saint-Hubert Street...
In the 1930's, during the Great Depression, many unemployed men with no place to go used makeshift solutions to build houses for their families. The district became so important that it gave rise to the Saints-Martyrs-Canadiens parish in 1941 where - not when! I was born and where I lived a good part of my life.
North East of the Ahuntsic Area
The history of the North East area goes a long way. There are still many historical houses that remind us of a life that thrived and flourished around the mills and along the road leading to the Île-de-la-Visitation district, now a nature park.
The Chemin du Sault-au-Récollet, now called the Gouin Boulevard has the largest concentration of old houses and buildings on the entire Island of Montreal. Some 300 buildings dating from the 18th century can still be seen and admired.
North West of the Ahuntsic Area
The North West part of the territory is characterised by a lot of greenery, a large number of parks with picnic arrangements and a most pleasurable bicycle path along the Rivière-des-Prairies.
The North West is a popular and active district also known for its Maison de la culture Ahuntsic-Cartierville whose main mission is to offer cultural events for free or for a minimum cost to its local population.
South East of the Ahuntsic Area
In the South East, 99% of the residences were built after 1960.
Between 1981 and 1985, the "20,000 Residence Operation" managed to double the population in the Domaine Saint-Sulpice, an area bordered by Louvain Street, Cremazie Boulevard, Papineau and Saint-Hubert Streets.
It is the only district that experienced such a swift expansion. Today, the Domaine Saint-Sulpice offers proper neighborhood security and is an ideal place to raise a family.
South West of the Ahuntsic Area
The whole South West district is bordered by the Metropolitan Boulevard, the CN Railway, Chabanel Street and the Youville Maintenance Complex.
The construction of the Canadian National Railway, the CN during the Second World War incited war industries to establish themselves on a territory now partly occupied by the clothing industry.
The South West is a strong industrialised sector with very little green areas and with a high concentration of immigrants. Many of the local immigrants live in the Saint-Simon family area in the l'Acadie and Chabanel areas bordered by the Metropolitan, the railway, the Cité de la mode and the Youville Maintenance Complex.
The "reborn from ashes" Cité de la mode on Chabanel and Louvain Streets in the Ahuntsic area. A Garment District with a cachet that still triggers the interest of various types of business people in search of space and commercial visibility.

A man killed Sunday, Nov. 13 in a double hit-and-run accident in Pearland has been identified by the Harris County Medical Examiner as 20-year-old Raul Bardales of Houston.
Pearland police spokesman Officer Jason Wells said Wednesday that Bardales was in the roadway at about 5 a.m. Sunday when he was struck by a vehicle that fled the scene. As the victim lay in the road, he was struck again by a second vehicle that also fled the scene.
The driver of the first vehicle later arrived at the Pearland Police Department to be interviewed by detectives. Wells said the first driver's case will go to a grand jury to determine whether charges will be filed.

Police are asking the public's help in identifying the driver of a second vehicle. Based on debris left at the scene, police are looking for a 2003-04 Saturn Ion with damage to the front left side of the vehicle. The color of the vehicle is unknown.
Cynthia Fajardo, a family member of the victim, told The Journal that a funeral service for Bardales took place Thursday.
"We just want to find the person, for them to please come up and say if it was an accident or whatever, and find out (what happened) because we don't know anything," Fajardo said.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Pearland Police Department at 281-997-4100 or Det. J. Despain at 281-997-4231.

Residents in East Preston, Nova Scotia and surrounding communities were given a glimpse into various areas of law at a workshop hosted by the East Preston Empowerment Academy, Saturday, May 28. The information session, You and the Law – Become Informed, was sponsored by Stewart McKelvey.
Partner Candace Thomas helped organize this event and as one of the five presenters, spoke on the topic of business law basics. The day featured presentations covering such topics as land titles clarification, estate planning, constitutional rights, family law and access to law school. As Candace told CBC News reporter Steve Berry, she hopes that this session helped the more than 30 individuals in attendance see the options available to them – "when they require legal services, they know where to go." For the younger faces in the crowd, Candace and her fellow presenters offered mentorship opportunities to assist those who, after the session, noted that they could see themselves as lawyers one day.

What would an MLB game recap look like without any players?
MLB.com can't use any player names on its website. It's a little awkward.

Anonymous Large Baseball Men
One odd aspect of MLB's lockout of the players is that due to labor laws and the expiration of the old collective bargaining agreement, the league can't use any player names, images, or likenesses on MLB.com. Even 2022 promotional material can't cite them, forcing the Cardinals, for example, into some desperate measures.
So to have some fun with it, I wanted to explore how farcical a game recap would look without mentioning any players' names. Travel with me back to August 16th of this past season and enjoy if you can during this bizarre time.
All eyes were on THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER on Monday as he returned to the mound following a bout of COVID that has kept him on the shelf since July 29th. The Yankees found a way to get by and go a league-best 12-4 in his absence, but seeing their ace on the mound was a breath of fresh air — especially when he lived up to the hype. THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER was excellent during this makeup game with the Angels, leading the pitching staff in a tight 2-1 victory.
THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER came out of the gate firing pellets. His first pitch to THE TWO-WAY ANGELS STAR came in at 98.8 mph, and he went on to make short work of the AL MVP frontrunner, the whiff-allergic ANGELS SECOND BASEMAN, and ALL-STAR ANGELS FIRST BASEMAN, striking out the side on 21 pitches. The only problem was that in the middle of that string of K's, THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER fell behind THE ANGELS' LEFT FIELDER and left a cookie down the heart of the plate. THE ANGELS' LEFT FIELDER took him deep for the 323rd homer of his career, and it was 1-0, Angels.
The Yankees did not wait around to respond with MIDDLING ANGELS STARTER on the bump. LARGE, YOUNG YANKEES SLUGGER lined a ball to the right-field wall, though a good play on the carom by TOP ROOKIE ANGELS OUTFIELDER held him to a single. It didn't matter a bit because SLUGGING YANKEES LEFT FIELDER was up next and SLUGGING YANKEES LEFT FIELDER doesn't need runners to actually be in scoring position to bring 'em home.
The poor baseball sailed 412 feet and into the second deck at a screaming 112.1 mph. In an instant, the Yankees were on top, 2-1.
Throughout the next five frames, HE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER put on a pure pitching clinic. If casual fans had just tuned in for this start, they would've had no idea that he had missed the previous two and a half weeks. An infield hit began the second, and THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER proceeded the retire the next 10 batters in a row, fanning five with some nasty stuff.
An ANGELS CENTER FIELDER walk broke THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER'S streak, but he paid little heed to the interruption. He forced THE ANGELS' CATCHER to swing at air for his ninth strikeout of the night, and then a nice running catch by OTHERWISE-BAD YANKEES CENTER FIELDER brought the inning to a close.
Still nursing the meager one-run lead, THE ANGELS' TWO-WAY STAR gave THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER a scare in the top of the sixth, as he ripped a 98-mph fastball that caught too much of the plate 108.6 mph and 353 feet. Fortunately for the Yankees, it hung up in the air and LARGE, OLDER YANKEES SLUGGER made the catch in right-center field. It was an out regardless, and THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER shook it off to induce a popup from ANGELS SECOND BASEMAN and an ANGELS LEFT FIELDER grounder to third.
The only problem was that PEPPY YANKEESECOND BASEMAN bobbled the roller, allowing ANGELS LEFT FIELDER to reach. THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER was up to 90 pitches, so with his ace coming off COVID, manager Aaron Boone decided to call it there. The right-hander was brilliant across 5.2 innings of work, punching out nine Angels while allowing just two hits, one run, a walk. It's hard not to be anything but encouraged by how THE YANKEES' BEST STARTING PITCHER looked on Monday night.
The gamble to the somewhat-early hook though was that Boone called on SOON-TO-BE-INJURED YANKEES BULLPEN LEFTY in a one-run game. He had the platoon advantage on the next batter, ALL-STAR ANGELS FIRST BASEMAN, but as FRUSTRATING YANKEES CLOSER learned earlier in 2021, the man was still quite capable of taking southpaws deep. This time, however, ALL-STAR ANGELS FIRST BASEMAN was thwarted, as SOON-TO-BE-INJURED YANKEES BULLPEN LEFTY began the road to rebuilding his confidence with a strikeout to end the frame.
The Yankees had been surprisingly silenced by ANGELS STARTING PITCHER after the SLUGGING YANKEES LEFT FIELDER homer. From the second through the fifth, their sole offense was an infield single that was immediately erased in typical 2021 Yankees fashion on a LARGE YANKEES FIRST BASEMAN double play ball. In the sixth, they began to stir again, as they knocked ANGELS STARTING PITCHER out of the game by drawing three straight walks to load the bases with no one out.
On came SIDEARMING ANGELS RELIEVER to face the menacing LARGE, OLDER YANKEES SLUGGER and LARGE YANKEES FIRST BASEMAN. The Yankees had a golden opportunity to extend the lead without even registering a hit. Instead, they ended up with bupkis. LARGE, OLDER YANKEES SLUGGER struck out and LARGE YANKEES FIRST BASEMAN bounced into his second twin-killing of the night, the Yankees' league-worst 112th of the season and 15th with the bases loaded — six more than anyone else. This team has a talent, and it's one of the most annoying talents to witness on a near-everyday basis.
Boone didn't want to use either TOP YANKEES BULLPEN ARM or SOLID BULLPEN LEFTY/STAY-AT-HOME DAD for a third day in a row, so he turned to two unheralded members of the bullpen to carry the slim lead into the ninth. ROOKIE YANKEES RELIEVER and NEW YANKEES BULLPEN LEFTY were up to task. ROOKIE YANKEES RELIEVER entered in the seventh and did the bulk of the work by retiring all five hitters he faced, fanning ANGELS CENTER FIELDER and TOP ROOKIE ANGELS OUTFIELDER along the way.
Boone then called on NEW YANKEES BULLPEN LEFTY for the lefty/lefty matchup with ANGELS TWO-WAY STAR, and the former Ranger came through, catching the two-way star looking. That's some high-quality late relief from two middle relievers.
The Yankees wasted another scoring opportunity in the eighth shortly after SPACE JAM'D YANKEES SECOND BASEMAN inexplicably got himself thrown out trying to steal third with SLUGGING YANKEES LEFT FIELDER up and none out. So it was up to YANKEES SETUP MAN to put his recent string of blown saves behind him with just the 2-1 lead entering the ninth.
As he did on Saturday, YANKEES SETUP MAN got the first two outs, no sweat, as he retired ANGELS SECOND BASEMAN on grounder to first and struck out ANGELS LEFT FIELDER. ALL-STAR ANGELS FIRST BASEMAN kept the game alive by lining a ball down the left-field line for a single, bringing ANGELS INFIELDER to the plate as the go-ahead run. YANKEES SETUP MAN jumped ahead of him 1-2, and after the count was evened, caught a break from home-plate umpire Junior Valentine, who ended the game on a called strike three that was outside the zone.
Those are the kinds of breaks that teams seem to get when they're playing well, and the Yankees remain sharp. Their offense could've made it a lot easier, but the lack of timely hits hurts less when it all ends with a win.
The Bombers will have to bring their A-game tomorrow though, as the Red Sox are coming to town for a doubleheader with the pressure mounting on both teams. YANKEES LEFTY STARTER and YANKEES ROOKIE PHENOM will both return to the active roster for the twin bill, the first of which begins at 1:05pm ET (YANKEES LEFTY STARTER vs. ROOKIE RED SOX RIGHTY); the nightcap will start at 7:05pm ET (YANKEES ROOKIE PHENOM vs. TOP RED SOX STARTER).

With a few days to go until my life finally has some meaning I thought it best to give my annual NFL predictions.
Super Bowl XLV is just 5 short months away so that's around 20 weeks to tell me how bad my crystal ball gazing skills are.
Another day another dollar. Well another week and another lowly 9-7 prediction score.
Two weeks gone and I am a rather abysmal 18-14. Lets hope Week 3 brings some stability to my crystal ball gazing skills.
My tip for performance of the week goes to Felix Jones of the Dallas Cowboys who I predict will go over 100 yards on the ground and 2 scores. Also look for Fred Jackson of the Bills to sign of his Week 3 game with another titanic performance.
Agree? Or think I am wrong?
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack. Yes its time to give my crystal balls a good old polish, remove the doom dust that has gathered over the past seven months, and get ready for some fooooootball.
One thing everyone loves to do is predict winners. Yes we all think we are experts, but I am prepared to put my money where my mouth (well my blog) is and give my weekly NFL predictions.

Q: Building chrome extension popup, options and background using @angular/cli I would like to create a chrome extension with popup, options page and a background process. So basically an angular app with popup.html, options.html and background.html pages. Is this possible with angular cli?
Today i can do this with multiple webpack configs for each page and it works. Now i want to replace it with angular-cli. Can anyone point me to right direction, i.e a seed project or starter example
Thanks

A: After a LOT of struggling, and digging through the hints and tips on surya's answer, I've managed to get my solution working using Angular (9).

manifest.json
{
...
    "browser_action": {
        "default_popup": "/index.html#/popup"
    },
    "options_page": "/index.html#/options",
    "background": {
        "page": "/index.html#/background",
        "persistent": false
    },
...
}

It uses the hash location strategy to load the components via the #.

AppRouting
The routing will use the paths specified, and load the appropriate components (popup, options, and background script respectively)
const routes: Routes = [
    { path: 'popup', component: PopupComponent },
    { path: 'options', component: OptionsComponent },
    { path: 'background', component: BackgroundComponent },
    { path: '**', component: PopupComponent },
];

@NgModule({
    imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes, { useHash: true })],
    exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

where the AppRoutingModule is referenced in the app.module.ts:

Note: I've created feature modules for my Options and Popup components, but for this answer it's unrelated. You can declare the mentioned components here as well as I've done with the BackgroundComponent.

@NgModule({
    declarations: [
        AppComponent,
        BackgroundComponent
    ],
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        AppRoutingModule,
        OptionsModule,
        PopupModule
    ],
    providers: [
         // This is needed because the manifest loads the index.html file, followed by a #,
        { provide: LocationStrategy, useClass: HashLocationStrategy }
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

With the routing set up, we can use that in the app.component (the bootstrapped component) to load the correct component via the route:
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Your Extension title</title>
    <base href="/index.html#/"> <!-- !!Important!! !-->

    <meta name="viewport"
        content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
</head>

<body>
    <app-root></app-root> <!-- Root of your application !-->
</body>

</html>

AppComponent
The app component (for simplicity) only contains the <router-outlet>, and will orchestrate which component to load.
<router-outlet></router-outlet>

Note: The base href in the index.html file must be set to the following: /index.html#/, otherwise consecutive reloads on the options/popup page will not recognise the correct route and throw a File not found response page.

Examples
If you navigate to a URL, you can see the routing working on the different components:
Options
chrome-extension://<Extension ID>/index.html#/options
Popup
chrome-extension://<Extension ID>/index.html#/popup
Background

Even though this component acts just as a background script, you can still use it as a normal Angular component - and still make use of Angular's features - like services, injection, etc.

chrome-extension://<Extension ID>/index.html#/background

A: So after lot of googling, this blog post helped me.
TLDR; no need of multiple apps, single app will do using query parameters. for example in my manifest.json i now have this
"browser_action": {
    "default_popup": "index.html?page=popup"
},
"options_page": "index.html?page=options",
"background": {
    "page": "index.html?page=background",
    "persistent": false
},

And then after defining different components (PopupComponent, OptionsComponent and BackgroundComponent) in Routes, navigate based on the 'page' param.

Cyber threat corners banks
On a chilly Thursday morning, Anil Shah, president of Nepal Bankers' Association, the umbrella body of commercial banks, walked to the podium during a conference and warmed up the audience by asking a sort of "don't-ask-don't-tell" question.
Published at : December 1, 2017
Updated at : December 1, 2017 09:01
On a chilly Thursday morning, Anil Shah, president of Nepal Bankers' Association, the umbrella body of commercial banks, walked to the podium during a conference and warmed up the audience by asking a sort of "don't-ask-don't-tell" question. "Tell me honestly, how many of us use genuine software at our offices?" the CEO of Mega Bank asked.
The audience was made up of over 150 bankers. They were there to attend the conference on 'Cyber Security and Swift Hacking' organised by the National Banking Institute, a national-level banking and finance academy.
As soon as the question dropped, guilty smile appeared on faces of bankers. This was an acknowledgement that many were using pirated software, including operating systems such as Microsoft Windows and applications like Microsoft Word.
This set the tone for the conference.
Use of pirated software is quite rampant in financial institutions in Nepal. This has prevented these institutions from installing new patches developed by IT companies to upgrade the software, making them vulnerable to cyber attacks.
"Banks spend quite a lot to purchase cash vaults for offices. But physical banknotes stored in these vaults account for a tiny fraction of the total cash stock. Meanwhile, a big portion of our cash can be accessed electronically. Yet we hesitate to spend money to purchase genuine software and build a robust IT infrastructure," Shah said.
His comments come at a time when memories of the biggest cyber heist in Nepal are still vivid in the minds of many bankers.
NIC Asia Bank became the victim of the biggest-ever cyber heist in Nepal in October, with cybercriminals issuing fake instructions to steal a little over Rs460 million. A total of 31 fake instructions were issued at that time via Swift, the global interbank payment system, to steal the money.
NIC Asia was hit by cybercriminals because of severe breaches of security protocols, like use of personal e-mails on computers attached to servers meant for Swift transaction. This enabled hackers to infect the bank's IT system with malware. A source of the bank said hackers were watching the activities of the bank for two months before launching the final attack.
It is not exactly known how the malware entered the bank's IT system. But NIC Asia Bank had found that some of the software it had purchased from "reliable vendors" were pirated.
Although the bank did not suffer huge losses from this episode, it is yet to retrieve all the money that was stolen.
The experience of Bangladesh shows that recovery process of money stolen by cybercriminals is not simple.
Bangladesh's central bank came under the attack of cybercriminals in February 2016. Like in the case of NIC Asia Bank of Nepal, cybercriminals infected the computer of Bangladeshi central bank prior to making illegal payments of $101 million via Swift.
"Till date, we have not been able to recover $66.4 million, although we are still trying [even after almost two years]," Debaprosad Debnath, consultant at Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit at Bangladesh Bank, the central bank, told the conference.
All of the money that the bank is yet to recover had disappeared after reaching the Philippines, which was one of the two countries, including Sri Lanka, used by cybercriminals to illegally transfer the funds.
Fortunately, Bangladesh and the Philippines have entered into mutual legal assistance agreement. "Otherwise, we would have to spend quite a lot of money to hire lawyers to fight the legal battle," Debnath said.
The biggest lesson that Bangladesh Bank has learnt from this episode is that "cost of compliance is generally high, because building a proper IT infrastructure is capital-intensive, but the cost of non-compliance is even higher."
This should serve a lesson to Nepali banks and financial institutions that generally hesitate to invest in IT infrastructure and building a team of quality human resources that can thwart attempts to bring down the entire system.
It is said that around 84 percent of cybercrime, knowingly and unknowingly, occurs because of human factors. Many have the tendency to become complacent after installing anti-virus software on computers and servers. But these software may not be of much help, according to Debdulal Roy, general manager of Information System Development Department of Bangladesh Bank.
Right after Bangladesh Bank found out about the heist, the "signature" used by cybercriminals to break into the system was sent to McAfee, a US-based computer security software company. "But it took 45 days for McAfee to identify the signature as a threat," said Roy. "So, the only way to tackle the problem is by investing in IT infrastructure and making human resources capable enough to remain vigilant about possible threats and risks." It is high time Nepali banks buckle up because McAfee has said ransomware outbreaks of 2017 offer just a taste of what's to come, as hackers are developing "new strategies and business models".
The security firm has predicted online attackers to become even more destructive in 2018, as "attackers dramatically innovate and adjust to the successful efforts of defenders".
"Considering the latest developments, banks should start conducting cyber stress test, as IT security risk is posing as big a threat to the banking sector as credit risk," said Laxmi Prapanna Niraula, NBI chairman and head of the Currency Management Department at the Nepal Rastra Bank, the central bank.


The United Nations political affairs chief today voiced concern over the continuing deadlock in peace talks aimed at resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and urged both parities to make bold and decisive steps to end the stalemate and to avoid violence and provocative actions that could undermine political efforts.
"Both parties should be concerned that the political track is falling behind the significant progress being made by the Palestinian Authority in its state-building agenda," said B. Lynn Pascoe, Under-Secretary-General for Political Affairs, in a briefing to the Security Council on the situation in the Middle East.
"The international community is rightly concerned at the protracted stalemate in the peace process. We stress the importance of supporting and empowering the leadership of [Palestinian) President [Mahmoud] Abbas and Prime Minister [Salam] Fayyad, and of bringing the parties back to the table," he said.
"Far-reaching rather than incremental steps should be taken by Israel to lead to progress on the ground, by rolling back measures of occupation to match the Palestinian Authority's achievements," he added.
Mr. Pascoe pointed out that in its report to the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC) meeting in Brussels on 13 April, the UN made clear its assessment that in the six areas where it is most engaged with the Palestinian Authority, governmental functions are now sufficient for a viable government of a State. In parallel, Israeli measures to facilitate movement have also supported economic activity and access to basic services, he added.
But he voiced concern that the Palestinian Authority has not able to extend its State-building work to Gaza due to the ongoing Palestinian political divide.
He said that the latest reporting period saw the highest level of violence in Gaza and Israel since Operation Cast Lead took place more than two years ago.
Palestinian militant groups, including Hamas, fired 111 mortar shells and 155 rockets while Israel conducted six incursions and 57 air strikes into Gaza since the last briefing to the Security Council. One Israeli child was killed and two civilians were injured by Palestinian rocket fire. Some 19 Palestinian militants and 15 civilians were killed, while 17 militants and 60 civilians were injured, as a result of Israeli military actions.
"We are alarmed at actions of Hamas to escalate violence, endangering civilians on both sides and risking a deeper confrontation with Israel," said Mr. Pascoe. "The Secretary-General strongly condemns rocket fire from Gaza and calls for it to end. He also reiterates his calls for maximum restraint by Israel. All parties must fully respect international humanitarian law. In the interest of the civilian populations on both sides, we call on the parties to uphold and solidify the prevailing fragile calm," he said.
He said the diplomatic grouping known as the Quartet – which comprises the UN, European Union, Russia and the United States – continues to work with the Israelis and Palestinians to maximize prospects for resuming direct negotiations on a two State solution. The Quartet held follow-up meetings with both the parties on 5 April, but it was decided that more time is needed for consultations before scheduling the next one, he said.
On Lebanon, almost three months after the nomination by President Michel Sleiman of Najib Mikati as Prime Minister, a government has still not been formed. Both Mr. Sleiman and Mr. Mikati have decided to give additional time to the government formation process, Mr. Pascoe said.
He reported that there have been some minor security incidents in Lebanon, but the overall situation in the UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) area of operations remained generally quiet and stable. Israeli air violations, however, continued almost on a daily basis.
Addressing the Council, Israel's Ambassador Meron Reuben said that lasting peace required the building of a culture of understanding and tolerance that is based on the recognition of the right of both Israelis and Palestinians to exist. "Israel's commitment to recognize a future Palestinian State must be met with an equal acknowledgement that Israel is the Jewish State for the Jewish people," he said.
Lebanon's Permanent Representative Nawaf Salam pointed out that people across the Middle East are now voicing their aspirations for peace, dignity and better life. "However, let us keep in mind that the greatest source of frustration in our region remains the non-solution of the Arab-Israeli conflict," said Mr. Salam.
"A lasting peace in our part of the world needs to be comprehensive and just peace. It will also require that Israel withdraw fully from the occupied Syrian Golan to the line of 4 June 1967, and from the remaining occupied parts of southern Lebanon," he added.
In total, more than 40 countries are expected to address the Council's during today's day-long debate.

To affirm is to validate, to confirm, or to assert. What role does affirmation play in our everyday lives? In a perfect world it should be something that is heavily incorporated in communication with others. The issue is, most of the time we avoid communication at all costs. Today instead of communicating with one and other we subtweet, we use third parties, and when we do actually talk to each other it is rarely to the point. We're all guilty of it, but why is this? I think in most situations it's because we fear that what we have to say will not resonate well with our peers and we feel that this could make us appear undesirable to others. It is extremely important to communicate and to communicate honestly with the people in our lives. Honest and open communication is what grows our friendships and relationships. It can be hard to communicate with people, especially when what we have to communicate makes us vulnerable, but this is the best way to grow in relationship with one and other. When it comes down to it, we only have so much time, and certainly not enough time to let things go unsaid because of fear. One of the most important forms of affirmation is positive affirmation. Positive affirmation is a reinforcement in which we assure the people in our lives in a kind way. A lot of times this seems to be swept under the rug and deemed unimportant in our everyday lives. We don't think to throw out compliments to the people we see walking down the street or even the people closest to us. We take for granted the relationships we have in place already and don't feel it's necessary to use positive affirmation to further these relationships. Everyone needs reminders that they are important and that people care about them. When it comes down to it, you never know what a compliment can do for someone. You should never feel embarrassed or ashamed to tell someone that you care, or to simply tell them that what they're doing does not go unnoticed, that they are appreciated. I promise that giving someone positive affirmation will never take anything away from you and it can make a bigger impact in people's live than we can even imagine.

24 June 2021, 11.30 – 12.30 (UK time)/ 16:00-17:00 (IST)
Organised by Dr Srabani Maitra, Dr Sebastian Schwecke, Dr Saikat Maitra
This roundtable was organised by the School of Education at the University of Glasgow, Max Weber Stiftung India Branch Office (MWS IBO), New Delhi, and the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC) to engage with research on gender, education and poverty by both senior and early career academics.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and adoption of the Sustainable Developments Goals (SDGs), seek to incorporate and balance the three dimensions of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental (UNESCO, 2017). Concomitant with this, is the emphasis on the critical role of equitable access to education (SDG4) for sustainable development and transformative change.
Over the past decade, major progress has been made towards increasing access to education and school enrolment rates at all levels, particularly for girls. Nevertheless, some 750 million adults – two thirds of them women – remained illiterate in 2016 (United Nations, 2021) and about 260 million children were still out of school in 2018 — nearly one fifth of the global population in that age group (UNESCO, 2021). Poverty remains a significant constraint for women's educational attainment. Moreover, how poverty impacts women's education is complicated by multiple social and cultural contexts.
This roundtable brought together researchers from the global South and the North to foreground new directions exploring the intersections of gender, education and poverty.
