The Chinese characters for Tai Chi Chuan can be translated as the 'Supreme Ultimate Force'. The notion of 'supreme ultimate' is often associated with the Chinese concept of yin-yang, the notion that one can see a dynamic duality (male/female, active/passive, dark/light, forceful/yielding, etc.) in all things. 'Force' (or, more literally, 'fist') can be thought of here as the means or way of achieving this ying-yang, or 'supreme-ultimate' discipline.Tai Chi, as it is practiced in the west today, can perhaps best be thought of as a moving form of yoga and meditation combined. There are a number of so- called forms (sometimes also called 'sets') which consist of a sequence of movements. Many of these movements are originally derived from the martial arts (and perhaps even more ancestrally than that, from the natural movements of animals and birds) although the way they are performed in Tai Chi is slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth and even transitions between them.For many practitioners the focus in doing them is not, first and foremost, martial, but as a meditative exercise for the body. For others the combat aspects of Tai Chi are of considerable interest. In Chinese philosophy and medicine there exists the concept of 'chi', a vital force that animates the body. One of the avowed aims of Tai Chi is to foster the circulation of this 'chi' within the body, the belief being that by doing so the health and vitality of the person are enhanced. This 'chi' circulates in patterns that are closely related to the nervous and vascular system and thus the notion is closely connected with that of the practice of acupuncture and other oriental healing arts.
Another aim of Tai Chi is to foster a calm and tranquil mind, focused on the precise execution of these exercises. Learning to do them correctly provides a practical avenue for learning about such things as balance, alignment, fine-scale motor control, rhythm of movement, the genesis of movement from the body's vital center, and so on. Thus the practice of Tai Chi can in some measure contribute to being able to better stand, walk, move, run, etc. in other spheres of life as well. Many practitioners notice benefits in terms of correcting poor postural, alignment or movement patterns which can contribute to tension or injury. Furthermore the meditative nature of the exercises is calming and relaxing in and of itself.
Because the Tai Chi movements have their origins in the martial arts, practicing them does have some martial applications. In a two-person exercise called 'push-hands' Tai Chi principles are developed in terms of being sensitive to and responsive of another person's 'chi' or vital energy. It is also an opportunity to employ some of the martial aspects of Tai Chi in a kind of slow-tempo combat. Long-time practitioners of Tai Chi who are so-inclined can become very adept at martial arts. The emphasis in Tai Chi is on being able to channel potentially destructive energy (in the form of a kick or a punch) away from one in a manner that will dissipate the energy or send it in a direction where it is no longer a danger.

Pax 2 Vaporizer Review: It's Like Smoking In the Future
Adam Clark Estes
Vindication is a glorious and complicated thing. When the original Pax vaporizer hit the market a few years ago, it promised to change how the world smoked. But with its finicky mouthpiece and penchant for clogging, that promise smoldered. Now, there's the Pax 2—and holy shit is it a transformation.
The Pax 2 is a compact, rechargeable vaporizer with a couple neat tricks up its sleeve. This vaporizer is specifically built for loose plant matter, so you can pack it with tobacco, weed, or arugula, if that's your style. (Don't vape arugula, please.) The Pax 2 features a deeper oven than the original, as well as a larger battery that the company says gives you 30 percent more use time on a charge. It costs $280.
Smoking is bad for you. Whether you're sparking cigarettes or blazing joints, inhaling noxious fumes has serious health effects. Vaporizers promise a cleaner experience, but traditionally, they've either been bulky or temperamental—often both. The first generation Pax arrived with the hope that excellent engineering and Silicon Valley smarts would finally give the world the portable vaporizer that could change the paradigm. It had problems, but the Pax 2 is here to solve them.
This is a very pretty and surprisingly small vape. Like the original, the Pax 2 features a handsome brushed anodized aluminum shell that comes in four colors (black, aqua, red, and silver). It also comes with an LED indicator that shows the vaporizer's status, and an accelerometer that activates the heating element when you pick it up. The Pax 2 is noticeably smaller and lighter than the Pax 1, but that's not the most exciting innovation.
The real improvement involves the most important part of the vaporizer: its mouthpiece. The original Pax featured a protruding mouthpiece that you needed to push in to activate the vaporizer and suck out the good stuff. Many users complained that the mouthpiece got stuck, rendering the device unusable. The Pax 2 fixes this problem gracefully with a mouthpiece that's flush with the shell and features a small slit for the vapor to pass through. It comes with a optional protruding mouthpiece, as well, if you like a little lip. Either way, you just press a small button built into the mouthpiece—the only button on the device—and suck out that sweet vapor.
A Quick Thought on Vaping
If you've never tried a vaporizer that handles loose plant matter, you're missing out. The experience feels cleaner and healthier than smoking, because you're heating up the leaves just enough to release the chemicals you want to be ingesting. The rest of the crap gets left behind. If you're smoking weed with your vaporizer, you'll also notice that it's a slightly different high—kind of like how smoking a joint feels different than eating a space cake. All that said, the loose plant matter approach also means you don't have to mess around with weird liquids or waxes. Instead, it's just you, the plant you love, and this badass piece of future.
The Pax 2 is pretty. The original Pax was also pretty, but the sleeker, cleaner design of the update means it fits in your pocket better and feels better when you use it. Along those lines, the new flush mouthpiece works wonderfully well. The instructions tell you to take long pulls, like a cigar, and it actually feels surprisingly similar to a stogie—except for the fact that it's made of metal. Personally, I prefer the old fashioned nozzle-style mouthpiece. It works equally as well.
Meanwhile, the LED and accelerometer features seem slightly overdesigned at first. That would remain true if the functionality weren't so simple. I found myself transfixed by the flower-shaped glow of the lights and thrilled by easy motion-activated vaping.
No Like
If you've ever used a robust vaporizer like the Volcano, you're probably used to thick, milky vapor that fills the room. It's hard to get that kind of experience with the Pax 2, though fiddling with the four different heat settings provides some versatility. Even though you can't always see clouds of vapor when you exhale, the Pax 2 still gets you buzzed or baked. The only other slight annoyance is keeping the mouthpiece clean. The rubber on the business end of the Pax 2 is a little stickier than it should be, so some gross build up can occur.
Do you want to stop smoking and start vaping? Do you want to keep smoking and start vaping? (Raises hand sheepishly) If so, then yes, you should buy the Pax 2. Vaping is not necessarily a great way to quit smoking cigarettes. Actually, loose tobacco tastes a little weird when you vape it. But the Pax 2 is a great way to transition yourself into a habit that doesn't involve setting plants on fire. Plus, it feels pretty damn cool to pull one of these silver future sticks out at a bar and take your night to the next level.

How Emirates Plans to Conquer the World (Starting with Orlando)
Why the global expansion of the Middle Eastern carrier is nothing but good news for U.S. travelers.
By Brian Sumers
In the past decade, Emirates—along with regional peers Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways—have gone from slight annoyances to fierce competitors in the international aviation landscape. Emirates which uses big planes like the double-decker Airbus A380 and the massive Boeing 777 to offer cheap fares—and grab market share—has led the way, launching its first flight to New York City in 2004. Since then, it has added flights to many of the nation's most important business markets, including Chicago, Dallas, and Houston. But in March, soon after the three largest U.S. airlines ramped up their public campaign against Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar for allegedly taking subsidies from their governments, Emirates announced a new route that doesn't fit its long-established model: Beginning September 1, the airline will launch daily flights between Dubai and Orlando.
That move particularly irritated the U.S. airline trade group making a case against its Gulf competition.
"The Middle East carriers are rapidly adding flights to the United States, including Orlando, because they are scared that the massive, illegal subsidies they receive from their governments will prompt the U.S. government to place a freeze on new routes," says Jill Zuckman, a spokeswoman for the Partnership for Open & Fair Skies, the group supported by American, United, Delta, and several airline unions.
Because Orlando is not particularly profitable for any airline—flights are often filled by leisure travelers buying the cheapest tickets—it's a much different market than Houston, which attracts business travelers willing to pay $10,000 or more for a first-class seat on next-day departures.
"If we wouldn't believe in the flight, we wouldn't sell it and we wouldn't operate it," says Hubert Frach, an Emirates senior vice president for the Americas, Africa, and Europe. The airline acknowledges its home base of the United Arab Emirates is a favorable country in which to run an business, but the carrier says it receives no unfair subsidies.
Most consumers care little about the politics because competition often translates into lower fares, particularly for travelers interested in visiting Africa, the Middle East, and India, which Emirates serves well from its Dubai hub. While Emirates isn't always the cheapest—an October Orlando-to-Mumbai round trip for about $1,000 roughly matches United's fare—travelers may prefer to connect in Dubai rather than Newark to help break up longer legs. And Condé Nast Traveler readers give the carrier high marks for "the friendly and courteous staff, a seatback entertainment system with 1,800 channels of entertainment, along with the 'excellent' food, fine wines, and 'champagne galore.'"
Still, the biggest winners may not be American travelers. One of the strengths of the Middle East carriers is that they can funnel travelers from the developing world to the United States. Emirates, for example, serves 10 destinations in India that are now just one stop—and two very long flights—from Central Florida.
"People are going to have their tush on an airplane for a long time," says Mike Boyd, a consultant who advises airports on how they can attract new routes. "But Mickey Mouse is a huge draw. There is an enormous amount of discretionary money in India and they will spend it."

…to give you thoughtful observations on the jurisprudence of crime. We will cover notable cases and events, offer analysis of deeper trends, and even throw in some juicy gossip from time to time.
We like to think we've been keeping our promise. We've delved into international criminal law, Supreme Court arguments, what the law is and what it ought to be. We've even gossiped about the latest crime show to get greenlighted.
And we have no intention of stopping any time soon. At first, we have to admit, we had some trepidation that we might lose interest, or that there wouldn't be enough readers to make it worth our time. But we soon found that we love writing this blog. And we continue to be amazed that so many of you actually read this stuff. So we'll stick around a while yet.
We've tried to avoid the danger of turning into yet another blawg that talks a lot, but has nothing to say. There are plenty of those out there. So we have made an effort to pick and choose what we write about. You're not going to get a stream-of-consciousness, what's-on-our-mind-today sort of blog here. Those are fine, just not us.
And it's not one of those SEO-maximizing, marketing puff piece things. We're not doing this to try to attract clients, nor should we. Blawgs that are made to attract clients are so painfully bad. It's so obvious. It's like meeting someone at an event who's not there to have fun, but only wants to network. We don't want to be that guy, and we're not that kind of blawg.
We've also tried to steer clear of the topics that everyone else is talking about. Why? Because everyone else is already talking about them. We'd rather not be just one more drop in the bucket, thanks.
So we're going to keep listening for cool and quirky stories that interest us. Stuff that inspires us to examine an underlying philosophy or social policy is going to grab us more than the latest DOJ press release. That means more talk about Supreme Court cases than notable arrests. More talk about the law than the practice thereof. That's what we like to write about.
So happy belated birthday to us, and thanks for reading!

US Spent Billions On System To Detect Hacks. The Russians Outsmarted It.
The Russians, whose operation was discovered this month by a cybersecurity firm that they hacked, were good.
When Russian hackers first slipped their digital Trojan horses into federal government computer systems, probably in the spring, they sat dormant for days, doing nothing but hiding. Then the malicious code sprang into action and began communicating with the outside world.
At that moment - when the Russian malware began sending transmissions from federal servers to command-and-control computers operated by the hackers - an opportunity for detection arose, much as human spies behind enemy lines are particularly vulnerable when they radio home to report what they've found.
Why, then, when computer networks at the State Department and other federal agencies started signaling to Russian servers, did nobody in the U.S. government notice that something odd was afoot?
The answer is part Russian skill, part federal government blind spot.
The Russians, whose operation was discovered this month by a cybersecurity firm that they hacked, were good. After initiating the hacks by corrupting patches of widely used network monitoring software, the hackers hid well, wiped away their tracks and communicated through IP addresses in the United States rather than ones in, say, Moscow, to minimize suspicions.
The hackers also used novel bits of malicious code that apparently evaded the U.S. government's multibillion-dollar detection system, Einstein, which focuses on finding new uses of known malware and detecting connections to parts of the Internet used in previous hacks.
But Einstein, operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), was not equipped to find novel malware or Internet connections, despite a 2018 report from the Government Accountability Office suggesting that building such capability might be a wise investment. Some private cybersecurity firms do this type of "hunting" for suspicious communications - maybe an IP address to which a server has never before connected - but Einstein does not.
"It's fair to say that Einstein wasn't designed properly," said Thomas Bossert, a top cybersecurity official in both the George W. Bush and Trump administrations. "But that's a management failure."
The DHS did not respond to a request for comment.
Russia has denied involvement in the intrusions.
The federal government has invested heavily in securing its myriad computers, especially since the extent of the devastating Chinese hack of the Office of Personnel Management was discovered in 2015, when more than 20 million federal employees and others had their personal information, including Social Security numbers, compromised.
But this year's months-long hack of federal networks, discovered in recent days, has revealed new weaknesses and underscored some previously known ones, including the federal government's reliance on widely used commercial software that provides potential attack vectors for nation-state hackers.
The Russians reportedly found their way into federal systems by first hacking SolarWinds, a Texas-based maker of network-monitoring software, and then slipped the malware into automatic updates that network administrators, in the federal government and elsewhere, routinely install to keep their systems current. The company reported that nearly 18,000 of its customers may have been affected worldwide.
More broadly, the hack highlighted the struggles of the government's network-monitoring systems to detect threats delivered through newly written malicious code communicating to servers not previously affiliated with known cyberattacks. This is something advanced nation-state hackers, including from Russia, sometimes do - presumably because it makes intrusions harder to detect.
The full scope of the hack remains unknown, though it's clear that a growing number of agencies have been penetrated, including the departments of State, Treasury, Homeland Security and Commerce and the National Institutes of Health. They are among victims that include consulting, technology, telecom, and oil and gas companies in North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.
The Pentagon was assessing Tuesday whether there had been intrusions at the sprawling department and what impact they may have had, a spokesman said.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security are investigating the scope and nature of the breaches, which intelligence officials say were carried out by the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, the SVR. The U.S. government has not publicly attributed the hacks to anyone.
Emails were one target of the hackers, officials said. Although it's not yet clear what the Russians may be intending to do with the information, their victims, including a variety of State Department bureaus, suggest a range of motives.
At the State Department, they may want to know what policymakers' plans are with respect to regions and issues that affect Russia's strategic interests. At the Treasury, they may have sought insights into potential Russian targets of U.S. sanctions. At the National Institutes of Health (NIH), they may be interested in information related to coronavirus vaccine research.
As the investigative work continues, some lawmakers are focused on probing why and how federal cybersecurity efforts have fallen short despite years of damaging hacks by Russian and Chinese spies and major federal investments in defensive technologies.
Einstein, which was developed by the DHS and is operated by the department's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), was made to be a backbone of federal protection of civilian agency computers, but the 2018 GAO report found significant weaknesses.
The capability to "identify any anomalies that may indicate a cybersecurity compromise" was planned for deployment by 2022, the report said. It also said network monitoring by individual agencies is spotty. Of 23 federal agencies surveyed, five "were not monitoring inbound or outbound direct connections to outside entities," and 11 "were not persistently monitoring inbound encrypted traffic." Eight "were not persistently monitoring outbound encrypted traffic."
"DHS spent billions of taxpayer dollars on cyber defenses and all it got in return was a lemon with a catchy name," said Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee. "Despite warnings by government watchdogs, this administration failed to promptly deploy technology necessary to identify suspicious traffic and catch hackers using new tools and new servers."
It was not just this administration.
Bossert, who worked on the original Einstein concept in the George W. Bush administration, said the idea was to place active sensors at an agency's Internet gateway that could recognize and neutralize malicious command-and-control traffic. "But the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations," he said, "never designed Einstein to meet its full potential."
CISA officials told congressional staff on a Monday evening call that the system did not have the capacity to flag the malware that was signaling back to its Russian masters.
The officials said federal agencies had not given CISA the information necessary to identify agency servers that should not be communicating with the outside world, said one congressional aide, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.
"To CISA, all internal agency computers look the same, and so Einstein only flags samples of known malware or connections to 'known bad' IP addresses," the aide said.
Other cybersecurity experts say the breaches highlight the "desperate" need for a government board that can conduct a deep investigation of an incident such as SolarWind's, whose corrupted patches enabled the compromises - and crucially, make the report public.
"We need people to read the report, and say, 'Oh, wow, we need to secure our [information technology] pipeline,' " said Alex Stamos, head of the Stanford Internet Observatory, a research group. He previously was chief security officer at Facebook and Yahoo.
He said there are "hundreds or thousands of companies" in this space that may have security flaws without knowing. These firms do network monitoring, IT management and log aggregation. "Enterprise IT is a $2 trillion market," Stamos said. "There's no agency in charge of ensuring its security."

What If We Created Remixed Pop-Up Concerts And Live Fan Jam Sessions?
Continuing our exploration in to brands and live music, a couple thoughts popped into my head after watching these videos from Intel's new Ultrabook campaign called "Pop-Up Theater".
The videos are fun to watch and they've got me thinking about our street musician and Tiesto experiments.
These videos also remind me of one of my favorite post-concert moments during Lollapalooza 2011 which I experienced while walking back to the train on the streets of Chicago after the festival.
I will always remember how much I loved hearing fans teaming up with street musicians to sing and swoon the extremely melodic and catchy "uh uh uh, oh oh ohhh" chorus of Britney Spears "Till the End of the World".
That moment put a big smile on my face as the live fan jam session was sent flowing beautifully down Michigan Avenue.
Thinking about that post-Lolla moment and watching these videos also has me wondering if Intel has plans to be at any of the summer music festivals like Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo or Coachella this year to make the brand experiences more interactive and memorable for fans like this, or will Intel miss an opportunity like this?
If Intel is planning on creating an interactive experience for fans at festivals, they might want to think about letting fans use the Ultrabooks to experiment with their personal live music stories in one of the sponsored brand tents on the festival grounds.
For example, they could let fans use the Ultrabook to record videos documenting their festival memories and then allow fans to merge those stories with remixed versions of the live performances of their favorite artists during the festival, and then let fans share the final versions with friends instantly on their social networks.
Allowing fans to have an emotionally engaged and highly social experience directly on the Ultrabook would be very powerful, and it would be a creative and crafty extension of this current Pop-up Theater campaign.
Even better, fans could mash-up their remixes and combine their stories in to one big interactive and never-ending collage of concert fan stories.
And what if we took elements of what Keys N Krates does and applied it to the fan experience? How cool would that be?! Very.
How would you remix your concert story?
How would you remix memories of your favorite concert experiences? How can brands, like Intel, make the music festival experience more interactive and memorable for fans?
Tell us what you these Intel videos and share your concert experiences and thoughts in the comments below, on Twitter @livefixmedia, on Facebook , Google Plus, or call the concert fan hotline at 773-609-4341, and we'll include them in a future episode of Live Fix Radio.

Travel personality Steve Gillick's book tells of worldwide explorations
'A Symphony Of Camels' was decades in the making
IAN STALKER
After over 40 years of hitting the road and to date setting foot in 84 countries while doing so, Toronto travel personality Steve Gillick has decided to use the written word to share his love of travel with others.
Gillick, well known in travel agent circles, has just completed A Symphony of Camels, which recounts many of his travel experiences over the decades.
The unusual name recalls Gillick's visit to an Egyptian camel market, where a man waved a baton-like stick while directing the camels to a water trough, doing so in a manner suggestive of an orchestra conductor guiding musicians.
And unusual experiences like that have led Gillick to believe that seeing the world and its disparate cultures is "unbelievably enriching! Using some of today's marketing terminology, travel is regenerative, transformative, aspirational and inspirational. And in the context of the COVID pandemic, I like to note what nature-historian David Attenborough has said: That the pandemic has actually opened the eyes of many people to the beauty of nature. There is a need to spend more time outdoors and in many cases, this translates into an exercise in healthfulness, wellness and the need to expend some energy: doing something physically satisfying; getting off the beaten track; adding to those social media postings, and making the traveller feel that they have accomplished something. This can be as simple as walking or riding a bicycle to explore a city, as opposed to taking a coach or a taxi.

"And then there is the whole foodie phenomenon where travellers want to taste the destination and pamper their taste buds. In food terms, Umami is often used to describe the incredibly satisfying mouth-feel and sheer pleasure of eating something. Umami can also be used to describe how enriching the travel experience can be."
The at-times humorous book deals with both mundane travel issues like folding a map, crossing streets and bargaining in markets, and more non-mainstream ones, such as different ways to gaze at mountains and "planning a travel-regenerative experience in one of the five cities that soothe the soul."
Gillick says readers will be better prepared to travel when they see the possibilities of "what else" they can do in a destination, adding travellers can get more out of the place they're visiting by engaging with locals.
"Even in countries where you don't speak the language, you can have a blast," he advises. "I just returned from a trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, where, through one of our connections, we hooked up with a guide for a day trip outside the city to photograph birds in Teotitlan, visit the Sunday market in Tlacolula and explore the street art in San Martin Tilcajete. The guide spoke no English. I don't speak Spanish. But it was one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had anywhere.
About to embark on a very wet motorized dinghy excursion in Witless Bay, NL to photograph the Puffins.
"I often cite the opening line of the song Wooden Ships, sung by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young: 'If you smile at me I will understand, cuz that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language.' "It's so true. My precious travel memories involve the people I've met. I want to uset this in the sense of 'infectious-enthusiasm by example' to prepare other travellers for great memories.
"I love to try to open people's eyes to get the most out of the travel experience and in my mind that includes conversations with locals, throwing caution to the wind from time to time and interacting with a destination, rather than just observing it. This book is my attempt to convey my passion for travel to those who already travel, as well as those who haven't started to travel yet."
Gillick — who admits to being passionate about travel writing — actually decided to pen the book while waiting for the ticket office to open in Istanbul's Dolmabace Palace.
"I was alone in the city after an 'interesting' guided tour and I thought up a phrase to describe what I was feeling: Determined and positive action always counters apprehended fear. I started to write some thoughts down. That was in 1989. Every few years I would read what I had written, edit it, add to it and well 32 years later the book was ready. My next book will probably not take that long to finish."
Gillick's book A Symphony Of Camels was decades in the making
Meanwhile, Gillick says his enthusiasm for travel hasn't waned after over four decades of wandering the world.
"I was in the Yucatan in November, then Puerto Vallarta, San Blas, San Pancho and Oaxaca in December," he reports. "As more countries open, our options will expand. A return to Japan in 2022, is a definite go! And there is a whole slew of new countries to add to my list, that I will be exploring this year and beyond."
And he hopes his book will inspire others to pack their bags and explore our planet.
"Buy the book in paperback or as an ebook! " he suggests. "For those who travel, it's a great 'hey I did that too…thanks for reminding me'-type read, and for those who are waiting to travel, it's an excellent way to get those travel endorphins all stirred up. As I say in the book, 'it's time to get stoked again about travel!'"

Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets was the name of two separate ice hockey teams based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Yellow Jackets played primarily in the United States Amateur Hockey Association (USAHA). After winning the USAHA Championship in 1924 and 1925, the Yellow Jackets were sold to attorney James Callahan and soon became the Pittsburgh Pirates of the National Hockey League. However after the demise of the Pirates in 1930, a second club (founded by the owner of the original club), debuted in the IHL as a professional entity, before reverting to an amateur club in 1934. The team would finish its run in the EAHL, before finally folding in 1937.

Playoff championships
After a career in local politics, Roy Schooley, a former hockey referee in the Western Pennsylvania Hockey League, founded the Yellow Jackets as an amateur hockey team in 1915.[1] As with all American teams of this era, the Yellow Jackets fell under the jurisdiction of the International Skating Union. For 6 years, the club played in independent competitions. In late October, 1920, the United States Amateur Hockey Association was formed, with Yellow Jackets officials Schooley and W.S. Haddock serving as co-founders and respectively acting as the league's secretary-treasurer and president.[2] The Yellow Jackets played exhibition games against other USAHA clubs in its inaugural season before joining the league full time in 1921.
"Pittsburgh's Canadians"
According to former sports reporter Paul Sullivan, who covered hockey for much of his life for the Pittsburgh Gazette-Times, the USAHA wasn't a completely amateur league.
The Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets won the USAHA title in 1923-24
Sullivan noted that even though the USAHA was called an amateur league, "They didn't come down from Canada because they thought Pittsburgh was a nice place." This leds one to believe that money was paid out to top players in the league.[3] The eastern teams of USAHA soon imported Canadian players, to add to their rosters of local players. In 1923, Schooley had invited Lionel Conacher, a future Hall of Famer, to come to Pittsburgh and officiate games in February 1923, "to see if the crowd would take to him." Schooley then asked Conacher to play with the Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets in a four game series against his former team, the Toronto Aura Lee hockey team, and against the Hamilton Tigers. Conacher impressed the Pittsburgh fans by scoring 11 of the Yellow Jacket's 23 goals in the four games.[4] Conachar then under the guidance of Roy Schooley, transformed the Yellow Jackets line-up to an almost Canadian team.[2] Schooley then used his connections in the Pittsburgh media[1] to promote Conachar to the city's hockey fans. After seeing how well the fans took to Conacher, Schooley made him the team's captain, and asked him to invite a number of his friends to play for the Yellow Jackets. These players included Harold Cotton, Hib Milks, Harold Darragh, Rodger Smith, Duke McCurry, "Tex" White and goalie Roy Worters.[2]
Dick Carroll, who had coached the Toronto Arenas to the Stanley Cup in 1918,[5] was appointed the team's coach once Conacher and his teammates arrived in Pittsburgh for the 1923-24 season by Schooley. However the use of Canadian players drew criticism, with the Boston-based teams leading the charge. In one instance, the Boston Herald questioned why: "Boston hockey … [was] hooked up with Pittsburgh at all… [After all] the best hockey in Boston is played by our own boys … [and Pittsburgh hockey] … is played mainly by a bunch of traveling mercenaries, who practically all are of Canadian birth and training." Some circles also referred to the Yellow Jackets as "Pittsburgh's Canadians." These imported players joined current Yellow Jackets players Rennison Manners, and Herb Drury, who had just won a silver medal as a member of the U.S. Olympic hockey team.[2][6]
Championship era: 1924 and 1925
In the Yellow Jackets' opening game at the Duquesne Gardens, Conacher scored a hat trick.[4] The Yellow Jackets posted a 15-5-0 record for the 1923-24 season, to earn first place in the league's Western group. Pittsburgh then defeated the critical Boston Athletic Association to win Fellowes Cup 4 games to 1 in playoffs.[7] A Boston newspaper, the Boston Traveller, on January 29, 1924, termed the Yellow Jackets "a wonder team" and another account referred to Conacher as "Canada's Wonder Athlete". The trio of Rodger Smith, Conachar and Roy Worters was part of Pittsburgh's "stonewall defense."[4] The Yellow Jackets were so dominant by 1925 that they spun off another Pittsburgh team, named the Fort Pitt Hornets, who played in the Eastern Division.[3] Rennison Manners, who was a player-coach and manager of the Yellow Jackets up until the 1922-23 season, when they were only a .500 club, still played for the team during the 1923-24 season, however the following season he joined crosstown the Fort Pitt Hornets.[2]
In their 1924-25 season, the Yellow Jackets finished their regular season with a 15-3-2 first season half record for first place in the Western Group, followed by a 10-8-2 second half record for second place in the west. The Yellow Jackets would go on to defeat their cross-town rivals, the Fort Pitt Hornets, at the Duquesne Gardens, and win their second Fellowes Cup, four games to none.[7]
The Pittsburgh Pirates and the NHL
The Yellow Jackets stopped playing after the USAHA folded at the end of the 1924–25 season. When Schooley encountered financial problems he sold the team to James Callahan, a lawyer from Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville. Callahan was granted an NHL expansion team and simply transferred the Yellow Jackets into the NHL as his expansion club keeping the entire roster of the Yellow Jackets intact. Schooley wanted to keep the rights to the "Yellow Jackets" name per the sale of the club, so Callahan had to rename the team when it entered the NHL. He choose Pittsburgh Pirates, stealing the name from the baseball club, something the new NFL team would also do eight years later.[8] Callahan kept the Yellow Jackets black and yellow uniforms. He simply modified the "P" logo on the front and had a word mark arched over the "P" that read "Pirates". Because of this, the NHL club wore a black and yellow color combination before the Major League Baseball team did who at the time were red, white, and blue. The Pirates made it to the Stanley Cup semifinals within a year.[9] The Pirates were also barely nudged out of the playoffs. In 1926, the playoff series was just two games long, with total goals deciding the issue. The Pirates, who finished third in the seven-team NHL, lost to the Montreal Maroons, 3-1, in the opener in Pittsburgh and tied, 3-3, in Montreal. The Maroons' 6-4 edge in goals gave them the series and they went on to win the 1926 Stanley Cup. Among the Jackets-turned-Pirates were two Hockey Hall of Famers—Lionel Conacher and goalie Roy Worters. The Pirates would operate from 1925 until 1930.[8]

The Pirates left Pittsburgh and became the short-lived Philadelphia Quakers in 1930, due to issues related to the Great Depression and the failure to find a replacement for the aging Duquesne Gardens. Shortly afterwards, Schooley applied for an expansion franchise in the International Hockey League. He gave the team the name of "Yellow Jackets" which he still had to the rights to. The team competed in the IHL for only two seasons.
The revived 1930-31 Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets
In 1932, the Yellow Jackets served as a farm team for the Chicago Black Hawks who often took several of their key players in mid-season.
The Yellow Jackets relied on several unknown amateur players, Carl Lehto and Jack Tuten, when the team left the IHL for the 1934-35 season.
Before a March 1932 game against the Buffalo Bisons, Pittsburgh's Doc Romnes was recalled to Chicago to aid the team in their NHL title chase.
Yellow Jackets players Gus Giesebrecht, left, and Byron McDonald at the Duquesne Gardens in 1937.
This left the Yellow Jackets' coach, Charlie Reid to constantly change his forward lines.[10] Also in 1932, The Yellow Jackets were purchased by Pittsburgh theater chain owner, John Harris.[5] However the Yellow Jackets were having financial problems, despite the support Pittsburgh fans gave them, leaving some doubt as to whether the team would operate in 1932-33. On August 22, 1932, it was reported that the defunct Pittsburgh Pirates would be returning to the NHL for the upcoming season. The news put the Yellow Jackets in limbo, since the Pirates still held territorial rights and could deny the team permission to operate. However the trust company that owned the Jackets had the right to deny the NHL team the right to play at Duquesne Gardens. However the optimism was short-lived and on October 1, 1932 the Pirates formally suspended operations.[11] During all this, the Yellow Jackets remained dormant and did not play at all from 1932 through 1934.
In 1934 they were reactivated, but as an independent playing various exhibition games against other clubs.[12] The club would return to league play when, On October 29, 1935, the Montreal Gazette reported that the Yellow Jackets had joined the Eastern United States Amateur Hockey League, with the New York Rovers.[13] During the team's final three seasons of play, Frank Brimsek served as the team's goaltender. Brimesk would go on to win 252 games in goal, which gave him the record for winningest American-born netminder. His record would stand until February 15, 1994, when Tom Barrasso and the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, defeated the Winnipeg Jets, 5-3, at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena.[5][14]
The Yellow Jackets had a hand in providing Pittsburgh with another professional hockey team, the Pittsburgh Shamrocks. The idea for the Shamrocks team came about when Yellow Jackets' owner, John Harris, and Charles King, president of the International American Hockey League, met in Pittsburgh to discuss Pittsburgh's possible entrance into the league in the fall. The meeting resulted in the establishment of the Shamrocks and established that the Gardens' ice time would be split by the new IHL team and the Yellow Jackets, who became the newest members of the Eastern Amateur Hockey League.[5] During his tenure as owner of the Yellow Jackets, John Harris made two notable decisions. First, on March 31, 1936, he hired, Sonja Henie, 24-year-old Norwegian figure skater to perform before a Yellow Jackets' game, leading to the creation of the Ice Capades.[15] Then, on October 4, 1936, Harris purchased the Detroit Olympics and moved the team to Pittsburgh, where they were renamed the Pittsburgh Hornets. Some players from the Yellow Jackets and Shamrocks players then joined the Hornets. After the 1936/37 season, the club would fold.[12]

Logos and Uniforms
Pittsburgh Yellow Jackets USAHA-era logo.
The Yellow Jackets wore yellow wool jerseys with a "P" on the front of their jerseys in 1924. The wool jerseys featured black felt lettering would become the Pirates first set of jerseys. The team used the Pittsburgh's city crest emblems on the uniform sleeves. John McMahon, a sports writer for the Pittsburgh Press once referred to the color of the home jerseys as a "dingy mustard yellow." When the Yellow Jackets evolved into the City's first NHL team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the color scheme followed. In fact when the City's second NHL team, the Pittsburgh Penguins wanted to change their uniform colors from blue and white to black and gold, a move protested by the Boston Bruins, the Pirates-Yellow Jackets jerseys were showcased as precedence for the move.[18]

Mikel Arteta looks to be winning the race to become Arsenal's new manager, amid reports of the players being told that he is '90 percent' certain to take charge.
The former Gunners midfielder and current Manchester City first-team coach has been a leading candidate for the role ever since it was announced that Arsene Wenger was to step down at the Emirates Stadium.
According to MailOnline Sport, Arteta is now the preferred candidate of chief executive Ivan Gazidis and director Josh Kroenke, with the players having been told of his impending appointment.
It's believed his potential appointment does not sit well with all members of the Arsenal board, but that is unlikely to prevent the club from moving forward with the deal. He has honed his craft under the guidance of Pep Guardiola, and appears ready to step up to managerial duties.
Juventus boss Massimiliano Allegri and former Barcelona head coach Luis Enrique have been strongly linked with the role as well, but now appear to be out of the running.
Allegri has chosen to remain in Turin, while Enrique's alleged demands have proved a stumbling block in negotiations. Another rumored target, Germany boss Joachim Löw, signed a new contract with DFB-Elf on Tuesday.
Hoffenheim boss Julian Nagelsmann, who emerged as a frontrunner for the post this week, seems to staying put also after the club's director of football released a statement confirming the 30-year-old would be going nowhere.
With candidates dropping by the wayside, the path appears to be clearing for Arteta to take over at the club where he spent five seasons as a player.
A deal could be struck before the World Cup, with the Gunners reportedly keen to have their new man in place before the showpiece event in Russia kicks off.


This is a question at the heart of this piece, which is our contribution to the series dedicated to the centenary of PAGB. We have gone back in time and history and have looked at the milestones of the Industry and AESGP to fully appreciate what we have achieved together and not to miss important context as we look at the future.
It all started 55 years ago as PAGB, together with several other national associations (namely French, Belgian, Swiss, German, Dutch and Italian) representing proprietary medicines manufacturers, came together and established AESGP. Frederick G. Razzell from PAGB served as the 4th AESGP President from 1974 to 1975. At that time, only a few appreciated the importance of coordination of the sector and the role AESGP would play in the future.
AESGP contributed significantly to the adoption of the directives on pharmaceutical advertising and classification, and by that, the separation of medicines into prescription and non-prescription status in the early part of the 1990s. This was hugely inspired by the UK's Medicines Act of 1968 and long-standing tradition of self-regulation in advertising led by PAGB. That laid down the grounds for development of self care in all parts of Europe.
In 1995 AESGP was one of the first European Associations to organise a members' meeting in London when the European Community's new marketing authorisation system came into operation and the European Medicines Evaluation Agency (Europeans Medicines Agency as it is known today) was opened at Canary Wharf, London. Sheila Kelly, Executive Director of PAGB chaired the session entitled 'The new marketing authorization system: Self-medication without frontiers?' which brought together regulators and AESGP members. Those meetings have since become a long-standing tradition.
Another significant development for AESGP and PAGB came in the early 2000s with enlargement of the scope of the Associations, namely by the addition of food supplements and more recently (2010s), self care medical devices categories.
Today is no different from the past, as significant changes are happening in the self care environment at a substantial pace. Individual awareness of health issues, high connectivity and access to mobile technologies, more personal focus on fitness and wellbeing, demand for sustainable products – are just a few of the drivers for change. Especially important are the developments in the digital space including the rise of a new communication channel of social media, growing share of e-commerce channels and the impact of big data and artificial intelligence in healthcare delivery and regulatory science. These are new roads for opportunity and disruption, and the biggest change is that the roads are no longer one way.
The above-mentioned challenges and opportunities inspired and guided us throughout 2018 when we developed the AESGP Strategy for 2019-2022. It was an exciting journey for many of us involved, which resulted in a roadmap that will take us through the next four years as we embrace change and move self care forward. Self care remains an underutilised and undervalued public health resource by governments and EU institutions. During these challenging times with the rising burden of chronic diseases, workforce shortages and scarce public resources, etc. we must act and position self care among the essential resources to European health systems. At the core of AESGP we continue to proactively shape the regulatory, legislative, political and economic framework where the consumer healthcare industry operates. We focus on non-prescription medicines, self care medical devices including digital devices and food supplements and will build on cross-category expertise that is at the heart of our mission. We continue to build trust in self care and our industry and remain accountable to our stakeholders. Finally, we seize the opportunity to focus intently on strengthening and developing a holistic network encompassing all relevant stakeholders and serve as a platform for Member Associations, including PAGB. We aim to build on the strengths and best practice of our members to deliver on our mission.
2019 is a significant year in many respects for PAGB and AESGP. It is not only about celebrating 100- and 55-year anniversaries respectively, but also a year of great uncertainty with the Brexit cloud hanging over all of us. For everyone in the industry, as well personally we hope this is not the end of a long-standing relationship, but rather the beginning of a new century of close and fruitful collaboration.
We begin 2019 in an environment of change, but with a steady focus on our mission to advance responsible self care, enabling citizens to take better care of their health needs and contribute to the sustainability of European health care systems. Its value is inherent to health care systems, and its importance undeniable beyond borders.


The Chicago Bears spent a first-round pick back in 2014 on cornerback Kyle Fuller, but it appears they'll be moving on from each other coming free agency.
General manager Ryan Pace is going to have some explaining to do if Kyle Fuller gets out of the Windy City. After the franchise spent a 2014 first-round pick on the star corner out of Virginia Tech, Fuller disappointed throughout his first three seasons.
Due to his inconsistent play, Pace decided to decline his fifth-year option on the rookie deal, all but stating his intent to let Fuller go after the 2017 campaign. Then, Fuller stepped up and became one of the better cornerbacks in the game last season, and is now set to cash in on the open market. According to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, the Bears will not be able to retain him.
Fuller, 26, will have a hoard of teams going after him. Considering his age and pedigree, Fuller is going to have a litany of calls, likely coming from the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs and Oakland Raiders, among others.
Kansas City would be an intriguing fit considering it traded for Kyle's brother, Kendall, during Super Bowl week in the Alex Smith deal. The trade won't be official until the start of the new league year on March 14.
If Pace decided to change his mind and attempt to sign Fuller, he does have the leverage of the franchise tag. The Bears have cap space and could use $16 million of it to tag Fuller, which would keep him with the team for at least another year. The sides would have until mid-July to work out a long-term extension.


My Kuthikurupukalz – My Scribblings ….
"It decidedly looked futuristic" that's what the media is talking about this.
I'm not discouraging or anything but I think this is way too inferior to even categorize as robotics.
From what I learned, Robotics means; using complex AI and hardware to conceive a life-like tech. What Indore has installed there is merely a big toy. Damn it even looks like monsters from 90's movies.
I apologize for this rant but I still want to congratulate who have worked behind this. Miles to go, but one-step at a time. Good luck to y'all!
Why are some people always so negative?
I'm not suggesting you have to be positive always. I know that's not possible for everyone, but why negative all the time?
I get it, you will be upset when something bothers you, you can't see it in a positive way unless you have such a state of mind. I'm not arguing about such situation. That can be kept exceptional cases or occasion for now.
I know some people, who are very friendly and nice but whenever they are asked to give a opinion, it will always be a negative one or something that will kill the vibe of the question. They always have something to complain about.
They will never be satisfied with what they have. They are literally not satisfied with anything. I don't understand from where they are getting so much to even complain about! I'm not sure if they are even satisfied with whatever they're doing in their life too. They will always blame on others for anything, and sometimes for the things they've done wrong.
I recently saw a video; where one justify how a negative person can be unattractive.
I think what Tony Robbins says is spot-on. Being negative actually kills the positive vibe of people around you too. You're doing two crimes at a time! Just smile and try to be positive, I'm sure things will come your way.
Someone I follow once said "Crying over everything is like underlining the whole text." I think it's true.
Life is too short to be negative and be unhappy.
PhonePe is a UPI app which now offers an exciting 50% cashback up to Rs. 150 for your first transaction through the app. And on top of that, they are also providing a Rs. 50 complimentary gift to the user when they invite someone and they join the app to make their first transaction.
PhonePe is a UPI app, so we can easily transfer money to different account just like how PayTM works.
So my and my friend sat together. My friend first installed the app and invited me through the invite link which he generated and I installed & joined using the same. Now I just has to transfer Rs. 300 to my friend's account to earn the Rs. 150 cashback. So I linked my bank account and transferred Rs. 300 to my friend and boom! My account is credited with Rs. 150 and my friend's account got an additional Rs. 50 as well for making my first transaction. We both just has to draw the money from the PhonePe app to our respective bank accounts. Which is very easy and can be done within the app as well.
Rs. 200 for simply installing and window dressing a transaction!
I'm quite sure that PhonePe is well aware of this vulnerability but they just keep it open to promote their system. Hope they'll success without much (cough) loss.
But as a gratitude, I've decided to ditch PayTM for a while and try to stick with PhonePe for making some of my usual transaction which I normally do with PayTM. So PhonePe, thank you for your Rs. 200 and Good luck!

What are Truffles?
Truffles are mushrooms that grow underground near the roots of trees in woodland environments. They are not grown commercially and have to be harvested by specially trained dogs or pigs – often at night when they emit a stronger smell.
Truffles have been prized by chefs since Roman times – Apicius' cookbook from the first century AD includes a recipe for Black Truffles in Garum.
The Romans served them as part of the main course, alongside other ingredients including meat and eggs. More recent recipes use truffles to add flavor to sauces or parsley omelet rather than to cook it on its own. Truffles can also be turned into truffle oil.
Real truffles can cost anywhere from $350-800 per pound depending on their grade (black truffles being among the most expensive), making them one of the most sought-after delicacies in cooking today.
What are Black Truffles?
Black Truffles are one of the most expensive foods in the world, and they've been a favorite among royalty since ancient Rome.
Black Truffles are mushrooms that grow in the wild during a limited harvesting season. The earthy flavor and luxurious taste can be found on nearly any type of dish. Black truffles are also grown outside France, Italy, and Spain; Oregon is just one example.
The black truffles have a more subtle flavor than white truffles do (though they're more expensive), which gives this product versatility without sacrificing quality.
What is Sea Salt?
Sea salt is a mineral-rich salt, usually obtained from seawater or the evaporation of ocean water. Sea salt is made up primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), which gives it a salty taste and makes it less harsh on your stomach than table salt. It also contains many other beneficial minerals like magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iron.
Sea salts are available in different varieties including white sea salt, pink Himalayan sea salt as well as Black Truffle Sea Salt.
What is Black Truffle Sea Salt made of?
This exquisite combination of ingredients has a uniquely bold flavor that is often used to enhance the taste of other dishes and drinks. It's typically sprinkled on top or mixed within your dish before it's served in order to impart an earthy richness without being overwhelming.
Black truffle salt is a type of gourmet sea salt made using black truffles and then mixed with coarse, unrefined white sea salts. Black truffles are expensive because they have to be hand-harvested from the ground in France during wintertime. They're also difficult to come by since only 18 pounds of them can be found per acre! The taste has been described as earthy, luxurious, and even "sweet." One reviewer called it an "aromatic explosion" that was reminiscent of walking through a forest after rainfall.
What is Black Truffle Sea Salt used for?
The best way to use Black Truffle Salt is as an accent for other dishes, like bread and pasta. You can also sprinkle it on scrambled eggs or use salt meat before roasting, salads, french fries, eggs, or just any of your favorite dishes.

The salt works well on red meats like beef or lamb as well as white-fleshed fish such as salmon. It's the perfect way to bring out subtle flavors of potatoes or eggs, too. Season your pasta with it for an earthy dish that feels special from just one added ingredient!

What does Black Truffle Salt smell like?
This salt smells like a rich, forest floor. Truffles are found in the wild, so it is a natural scent. Which makes this salt smells like mushrooms and earthy flavors. It also has a sweet and mild aroma that is often described as fruity.
Are Black Truffle Sea Salts safe to eat?
Black Truffles are rare and expensive. They come from the wild, meaning you can't always guarantee they're safe to eat. The same is true for sea salts that have had black truffle added.
However, there's a form of salt made with black truffles called "truffle salt," which is created by hand in a controlled environment where every stage of production is carefully monitored so it meets strict safety standards.
It should be noted that not all chefs agree on what makes for an excellent culinary experience: some want their guests to get as close as possible to nature; others prefer them to enjoy high cuisine without getting dirty hands or having anything spoil on them!
What are the health benefits of Black Truffle Salt?
The health benefits that this salt offers are from the minerals and vitamins that it contains. Black truffle salt is rich in potassium, iron, copper-zinc selenium magnesium, and vitamin B12 among other important nutrients.

Black truffle salt also has a low sodium content which makes it perfect for people with high blood pressure or on a diet.
The health benefits that are offered by Black Truffle Salt make this an excellent addition to your everyday cooking routine!
Why is Black Truffle Salt so expensive?
Sea salts typically have a higher retail price than table salts because of their natural ingredients such as black truffles or pink Himalayan salt crystals which can be harvested only during specific seasons or completely depleted by excessive harvesting methods. Plus, there's an art to creating them into beautifully nuanced flavors like smoked rosemary or sweet lavender vanilla bean.
Black Truffle Salt is made from the highest quality Black Italian Truffles and sea salt that has been hand-harvested in Northern Italy for over 100 years.

A year ago I decided to open my own business deeONES a New York City atelier with full service of alterations, pattern making, sample making and custom-made garments. Only committing to deeONES, I left deeSerret behind. At first, that's what I thought until I realized during that period I was still slowly designing and creating pieces for myself.
deeSerret SS18 capsule collection is inspired by my personal genderless or gender neutral style. I've always believed that in fashion you don't need a specific gender. For me, it was never consider men or women. We live in a world that gender is nonsense and irrelative. Fashion should be for all! It's about how it makes you feel and how you embrace it. Is time to break the rules of masculinity and femininity!


My first time trying JustInMind. I love it. Here's my issue: I make a rectangle and a circle. I add a tap event to the rectangle that moves the circle. In the browser when you tap the rectangle there's no delay before the circle moves (perfect), but when viewed on device (iPhone 6) there is like a 1 second delay after tapping the rectangle before the move event begins. Do you know about this and is there any explanation or workaround?
Unfortunately there can be a little bit of delay on events when using the View on Device application. There is no workaround for now, but we're always working on improving the performance of that application, so you should see some improvement in performance in the future.
