A Sneak Peek at Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa in Nashville
Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa or dubbed as the Pink House, is set to open this summer in downtown Nashville. The award-winning country music singer and songwriter announced the details of her new venture last March 8, Monday. Lambert would be the first female country singer to own a spot on Lower Broadway alongside Dierks Bentley, Alan Jackson, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, John Rich, and her ex-husband Blake Shelton.
What will Casa Rosa look like?
A post shared by Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa (@casarosanashville)
The 17,400 square foot bar is designed as a four-floor complex with 3 floors of live entertainment topped off with a rooftop bar featuring Nashville's gorgeous skyline and a scenic, overlooking view of Lower Broadway.
On the inside of Casa, Rosa will be a dedicated area for Lambert's career memorabilia. This includes her music video clothing and sets, the birdcage from her latest no. 1 hit 'Bluebird' music video, and a photo wall.
The singer also noted her tufted pink booths along with a rhinestone saddle. This was modeled after her favorites that hang in Billy Bob's Texas. And of course, for every girl, an Instagram-worthy yellow wall for taking aesthetic Casa Rosa photos.
The Casa Rosa Menu
Nashville is definitely known for its good food. And in terms of menu, Casa Rosa will feature a classic Tex-Mex cuisine. According to the singer, it's like a little taste of Texas in Nashville, Tennessee. She has been working on the menu with the help of Chef Tomasz Wosiak, TC Restaurant's Vice President of Culinary Development.
Not only that, but she will also offer an extensive menu of her favorite libation, tequila, and margarita. Drinking margarita while listening to good music or hanging out at the rooftop bar with a nice view definitely sounds like a good idea.
The singer is very excited for Casa Rosa to open and promises fans that it will be a worthy place to visit. In an Instagram post, she said that Casa Rosa is a special place for her, and she is very happy to represent the ladies in Music City.
At the same time, Miranda Lambert is also busy with her upcoming album release on May 7. Her unexpected project, The Marfa Tapes, is a stripped-down album featuring a collection of raw country songs which she wrote and performed alongside Jack Ingram and Jon Randall. They already debuted the ballad In His Arms off the record.
The building is still undergoing a bit of renovations but while we are all waiting, we can tune in to their Instagram page @casarosanashville for updates or check out their website. Miranda Lambert's Casa Rosa is located at 308 Lower Broadway in Nashville, Tennessee.
Casa Rosa, Miranda Lambert

Personally, I'm more of a fan of talking about empathy than I am apathy, but apathy might just be the trick to long-distance running.
See, the thing is, people have this very very strange misconception about running. They assume that long-distance runners find long-distance running EASY. This silly presumption would make me choke on an SiS gel but personally I actually prefer jelly babies. Anyway.
According to new research (I read an article that didn't reference where the study had come from #sorryyy), a study has found that "apathy" – i.e. being ignorant to feelings of discomfort – can really help us get from start to finish when our legs (or heads) wanna give up.
The study took 24 healthy runners (age 18-33, who all ran 9 miles minimum weekly). They attended the research lab 3 times to complete 3 rounds of 'vigorous exercise'. This consisted of a 90-min treadmill run while keeping a steady heartrate between 75-85% of their maximum. Pretty tough stuff. Take a moment to really think about that!
Before, during, and after each run, participants also completed a psychological exam so that the researchers could measure the difference in emotional output and expression. During the first trial, runners were given no instructions on how to complete the challenge—they were just told to run. For the second and third trials, researchers assigned various statements that support the "cognitive appraisal" approach to evaluate if the dissociated thinking positively affected their experience on the treadmill. Specifically, they were asked to adapt a nonchalant, detached point of view towards feelings of exertion or emotional buildup.
This "nonchalant, detached point of view" towards discomfort can also be coined "cognitive appraisal". This is the process of identifying unpleasant sensations, feelings and emotions with an air of indifference, rather than attachment. It's feeling the pain in the arse (literally) but not really caring to give it much attention.
When runners followed the "cognitive reappraisal" strategy, their "emotional arousal" levels were much lower compared to when they were given NO coping instructions.
So what can we derive from this?
That we need to chill the fudge out on our long-distance runs and accept that it WILL feel tough, but that needn't affect our outcome.
This is obviously going to take a while to practise and implement, but whilst I am personally in the throes of marathon training I have plenty of opportunities to give this detachment a whirl.
Do let me know if this is an approach you have already adopted either as a runner, or perhaps even in other difficult areas in your life when the going gets tough!


Nine men who were arrested during Coventry City's game at Northampton Town on Saturday have been released on bail.
Six arrests were made after a pitch invasion, which stopped play during the game, and a further three were arrested when flares were let off inside the stadium.
The nine have been released on bail pending further enquiries by the police.
Supt Chris Hillery said: "We are committed to working with Northampton Town Football Club to ensure that supporters attending matches at Sixfields have a safe and enjoyable time without fear of disturbances, inside or outside of the stadium.
A fan runs on to the pitch holding a flare during Northampton Town's and Coventry City's match.
"During the fixture we were made aware that some of the spectators in the away, South Stand, had planned a mass pitch incursion at a designated time. As a result, match officials turned off the scoreboard time display and officers were placed in front of the West Stand and in the players' tunnel to prevent people intent on disorder entering these areas en masse.
City fans sparked ugly scenes during the protests on Saturday, and the game was subject to a total of 16 minutes of delays.
Coventry City and the Sky Blue Trust have condemned the protests.
The club released a statement which read: "The repeated disruptions to yesterday's match at Northampton Town were unacceptable.
"The club recognises that the inexcusable conduct was led by a small number of people.
The Sky Blue Trust have also urged supporters to stay within the law and not to repeat such actions in the future.
They said: "The Sky Blue Trust does not condone anti-social and illegal acts such as the throwing of smoke bombs and multiple pitch invasions. We do not even excuse this behaviour.
"We do understand, however, that it was entirely the result of frustration and desperation and that many supporters are simply at the end of their tethers feeling powerless and ignored. This boiled over in such an ugly fashion at Sixfields.
Referee Lee Probert instructs Northampton Town's and Coventry City's players to leave the pitch during the game as flares are thrown on to the pitch during the match.
"While peaceful protests and petitions have attracted national attention and sympathy they have seemingly been ignored by Sisu and Tim Fisher and this once great club is in now in total disarray and turmoil. To many supporters it appears that nobody is listening and nobody cares.
"The club's owners and management along with the impotent football authorities have apparently shown complete disinterest in the plight of the club and its supporters and this led to the disgraceful scenes in Northampton. It cannot excuse them but does explain them.
" Sisu have stated they are unwilling to further invest in the club, they simply want to park it and not be bothered by it – this disdainful attitude to an institution that means so much to so many is simply untenable.

A Gymnogyps amplus a madarak (Aves) osztályának újvilági keselyűalakúak (Cathartiformes) rendjébe, ezen belül az újvilági keselyűfélék (Cathartidae) családjába tartozó fosszilis faj.

Tudnivalók
Ezt a fosszilis madárfajt először 1911-ben Loye H. Miller amerikai őslénykutató és zoológus írta le, egy töredékes tarsometatarsus nevű csont alapján.

Ez a nagytestű madár, mely körülbelül az andoki kondor (Vultur gryphus) méretét is elérhette, az egyetlen kondorfaj mely a La Brea-kátránytó 10. gödréből került elő. Az itteni maradványok a szénizotópos kormeghatározás szerint holocén koriak és körülbelül 9000 évesek. Egyesek szerint a mai kaliforniai kondor (Gymnogyps californianus) őse, míg mások szerint a modern újvilági keselyű paleoalfaja, Gymnogyps californianus amplus név alatt.

A Gymnogyps amplus Kaliforniától Floridáig fordult elő. Csőre szélesebb volt, mint a mai kaliforniai kondoré. A Würm-glaciális idején a Gymnogyps amplus állományai annyira lecsökkentek, hogy a faj kihalt, vagy átalakult a mai recens fajjá. Az utóbbi feltételezést Syverson legutóbbi kutatásai megcáfolják.

Since wordpress community has released its 5.0 version Gutenberg editor, it is gaining quite good talks within bloggers. Some bloggers are still not ready to go with the new editor and so, they are trying ways to disable WordPress Gutenberg Editor and switch back to old classic editor.
So if you are also one of those bloggers and are thinking to go back to TinyMCE then this tutorial is for you.
In TinyMCE, you have 2 tabs – Text and Visual. But did you notice that those 2 tabs are missing in gutenberg?
The Text and Visual tabs are something with which bloggers are familiar from so long. The WordPress community has previously also done changes in the overall framework and also in the editor but this is the first time that they have completely replaced the TinyMCE and as such, Visual and Text tabs have also disappeared. And the sad thing is that official wordpress team has not bothered to keep it in Gutenberg.
Many bloggers are not in a position to lose the difference of 2 tabs, which help them to write the posts in a better way. They are no longer interested in new editor and so, they are planning to disable wordpress Gutenberg editor and thus, want to install old Tiny MCE.
I would say that official wordpress team should have integrated Visual and Text tabs into the new editor and then many bloggers would have continued happily with new editing tool.
If you are still unfamiliar with the new features of Gutenberg and are facing difficulty in drafting your articles then there is a good reason for you to switch back to classic editor.
Gutenberg is all about blocks. The official wordpress team has embedded everything in the form of blocks. Whether you want to embed any paragraph, list, heading, ad, video; you have do that through blocks. Click on + sign, search for any block, click on it and that block (html element) will be inserted in your code.
If you have a base of clients and they are not ready with the new wordpress editing style then you have to replace the blocking style with old wordpress editpad.
The good thing is that the official team of wordpress knows about the problems that the bloggers will be facing in initial days and many of them would like to restore the old editor till the time wordpress 5.0 Gutenberg remains unfamiliar to them.
In order to tackle this problem, they have come up with a nice solution. The solution is in the form of a plugin which you can install and get rid of unwanted new editing framework.
Below are the solutions by which you can disable wordpress gutenberg editor.
• Go to official wp directory and install classic editor.
• You can also install the Classic Editor WordPress Plugin through your dashboard.
• Go to Plugins –> Add New and search for "Classic Editor".
• Click on "Install Now".
Classic WordPress Editor takes you back to Visual and Text tabs and you can switch back to Edit Post screen. This plugin hides all the new features of Gutenberg and you will not even remember that you have upgraded your wordpress to version 5.0.
As per official team, Classic Editor plugin will be available to you till only December 31, 2021. You have the timing window till end of 2021 and you have to learn the new gutenberg till this date. After that, this plugin might not be available and any future updates to your wordpress CMS might hinder the functionality of your post-editor.
After 31 December 2021, the official team will check if still their users need this plugin or they can halt its maintenance and can discontinue it.
I would recommend you that you become familiar with gutenberg till 2021. You have plenty of time as the discontinue date is too far and you can learn the Gutenberg till then.
The plugin comes with handy of features and modes which you can enable or disable.
Go to Settings –> Writing and you will find the option to toggle between classic and block editors. As of now, if you are not familiar with Block Editor then you can toggle to Classic and at times in order to have hands-on on the block editor; you can revert to Block Editor by just clicking a radio-button.
If your site is multi-author blog in which you have multiple writers writing for you then this feature will toggle between the old and new editor with just click of a button. In this mode, all the users on your site will experience the old TinyMCE and they will not have any option to switch back to Gutenberg.
The downside of this mode is that if anytime any of your users want to change the editpad and he asks you to do so; then if you are reverting to gutenberg then all users will see gutenberg only and similarly, if you revert back to classic one then all users have to work on TinyMCE only.
But you need not to worry on this as the plugin provides you another mode also where individual writer will be allowed toggling between Tiny MCE and Gutenberg.
Go to Users –> "Your Profile" and you can select the type of editor that you are interested in. You can even choose different editor based on users and their preferences.
You also have the ability to allow your writers to revert to classic editor if they want. For each of the posts, they can see both the editing options and can click on any of them to edit the post either in Block or in TinyMCE. By default, the post will open in the last editpad used, no matter who edited it.
There is also another plugin available in official repository, for which you can read below.
Another option is to download and install Disable Gutenberg wordpress plugin from official repository.
After activating the plugin, you will see a new menu by the name "Disable Gutenberg". Go inside that menu and you will find various options. If you will check 'Complete Disable' then the plugin will disable the new blocks completely for all users and for every post.
But if you uncheck the 'Complete Disable' option then the plugin allows you to choose custom items where you want to disable the block editpad. For example: if you want to hide new editing style only for selected roles or for selected posts then you can do that.
If you are not in favor of using any plugin then you can hide the new blocking writing pad with a custom code.
Let me know if you have disabled Gutenberg WordPress Editor and reverted back to Classic Editor or not?

Q: How to draw graphics dynamically on jupyterlab notebook I found an example that can run normally on my laptop, but there is a problem. When the drawing is finished, a repeated result graph will be drawn again. I want to know how to not display the last repeated image.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib
%matplotlib inline
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# set up matplotlib
is_ipython = 'inline' in matplotlib.get_backend()
if is_ipython:
    from IPython import display

plt.ion()

def plot_durations(y):
    plt.figure(2)
    plt.clf()
    plt.subplot(211)
    plt.plot(y[:,0])
    plt.subplot(212)
    plt.plot(y[:,1])

    if is_ipython:
        display.clear_output(wait=True)
        display.display(plt.gcf())

x = np.linspace(-10,10,10)
y = []
for i in range(len(x)):
    y1 = np.cos(i/(3*3.14))
    y2 = np.sin(i/(3*3.14))
    y.append(np.array([y1,y2]))
    plot_durations(np.array(y))

plt.ioff()
plt.show()

A: Replacing plt.show() with plt.close() at the end of your code will prevent jupyter notebook from displaying the final plot twice. An explanation is included here.

'I Felt Like Crying': Coronavirus Shakes China's Expecting Mothers
HONG KONG — The hospital waiting room was filled with dozens of women wearing homemade hazmat suits. Their hair was tucked tightly under shower caps. Their rain ponchos zipped taut over winter coats. All of the women, anxious and pregnant during the coronavirus outbreak, had been waiting hours to see the same doctor.
"I don't feel at ease," said Vigor Liu, who is five months pregnant with her first child. After waiting for three hours, Ms. Liu finally saw the doctor for a 10-minute conversation. His advice: Stop reading the news.
As China deals with the vicious epidemic that has sickened more than 80,000 people and killed more than 2,600, pregnant women say the country's already overburdened health care system has started to leave them behind.
Maternity nurses and doctors have been pulled from their ordinary duties and shipped off to crisis centers and more than a thousand hospitals newly designated for coronavirus patients. Smaller community hospitals that offer obstetrics and gynecological services are temporarily closed because of staff shortages.
The swift diversion of resources has left many soon-to-be mothers struggling to get access to the basic prenatal care usually provided in these facilities, often a pregnant woman's first and only stop for medical attention in China. Reports in state media of infected mothers giving birth have heightened fears of passing on the virus to newborns, even though there is no clear indication that this has happened.
Women who have given birth since the outbreak also describe a lonely and sometimes terrifying experience of limited medical assistance in understaffed hospitals. New mothers cannot get vaccinations for their babies because entire cities and provinces have shut down clinics. Well baby checkups are being postponed.
Experts say the situation is undercutting the major political effort in recent years to prod Chinese women to have more children amid historically low birthrates and a looming demographic crisis.
In the city of Wuhan, the center of the outbreak, pregnant women have faced the daunting prospect of figuring out where to give birth. Their community hospitals are closed, the city's public transport is shut down and no one is allowed to leave because of quarantine rules.
Without volunteer drivers, the women would not even be able to attend their scheduled doctor's appointments.
Updated Feb. 25, 2020
What is a Coronavirus?
It is a novel virus named for the crown-like spikes that protrude from its surface. The coronavirus can infect both animals and people, and can cause a range of respiratory illnesses from the common cold to more dangerous conditions like Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, or SARS.
How contagious is the virus?
According to preliminary research, it seems moderately infectious, similar to SARS, and is probably transmitted through sneezes, coughs and contaminated surfaces. Scientists have estimated that each infected person could spread it to somewhere between 1.5 and 3.5 people without effective containment measures.
Where has the virus spread?
The virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, has sickened more than 80,000 people in at least 33 countries, including Italy, Iran and South Korea.
Who is working to contain the virus?
The World Health Organization officials have been working with officials in China, where growth has slowed. But this week, as confirmed cases spiked on two continents, experts warned that the world is not ready for a major outbreak.
What if I'm traveling?
The C.D.C. has warned older and at-risk travelers to avoid Japan, Italy and Iran. The agency also has advised against all non-essential travel to South Korea and China.
How do I keep myself and others safe?
Washing your hands frequently is the most important thing you can do, along with staying at home when you're sick.
One network of volunteers in Wuhan is trying to help women find hospitals that still offer prenatal and postpartum care. The group — which includes psychological workers and drivers — is working with more than 600 pregnant women and new mothers in and around the city, and offers 24-hour service to help deal with emergencies.
Jane Huang was recently connected with the volunteers. The 40-year-old mother of one is 17 weeks pregnant, but the district hospital where she is registered is no longer open to pregnant women. Ms. Huang worries that if she does not find a hospital soon, neither she nor her baby will survive because of her hypertension and fragile kidney.
"I worry every day about whether my child will die in my belly. I worry if there is an early delivery, it will not be able to survive," Ms. Huang said by phone. "I worry about the financial burdens if I have to do dialysis or even change my kidney, I worry that if my child has an abnormality, should I bring it into to the world."
"I think about a lot of things every day," she said.
Even in normal times, the array of bureaucratic detail that Chinese women have to deal with before giving birth can be challenging.
There is no functioning primary care system in China, where coverage can be limited and there is already a shortage of doctors. Pregnant women must find a hospital that offers maternity services and register to give birth there. Some pregnant women have registered at hospitals that have since been turned into virus centers. Those who can afford it consider shelling out thousands of dollars to give birth in a private hospital instead.
Those who cannot afford it are at the mercy of public hospitals, most of which are severely understaffed.
"People's anxiety is up in general, and if you are pregnant then you have a whole other set of anxieties," said Roberta Lipson, chief executive officer of United Family Healthcare, a chain of private hospitals in several Chinese cities.
Ms. Lipson said United had seen a surge in women who had previously planned to give birth in a public hospital in China switch, or inquire about switching, to a private one.
Some 1,774 hospitals have been designated for pregnant women who are infected with the coronavirus. These are the same hospitals that pregnant women who are not sick want to avoid.
China's National Health Commission has told hospitals that if pregnant women are registered to give birth at a newly designated virus treatment center they must "make reasonable arrangements as soon as possible" for those women. But many pregnant women say they are not sure what that means for their situation:
Will they be forced to give birth at a hospital designated for coronavirus patients? Will they be transferred elsewhere? Will they be turned away?
"A difficulty is that different hospitals use different platforms to broadcast their information," said Bin Tu, a volunteer in Wuhan. "For pregnant women, finding information on each hospital, one by one, would be complicated."
And finding information on the virus itself can sometimes feel impossible.
There is emerging evidence that the coronavirus does not transfer from a sick mother to an unborn baby, but the limited data and unanswered questions have left many pregnant women in China apprehensive.
In early February, Chinese state media reported a case of a newborn in Wuhan who was found to have the virus. The mother had been infected, but it was not clear if she transmitted the virus during her pregnancy or if the baby was infected immediately after it had been born.
As the authorities continue to try to contain the outbreak, details about the virus have become even more sparse. Citizen journalists have been silenced. Medical workers have been told not to talk to the media.
In this environment, these women have turned to informal channels like chat groups and other online forums to find out what their options are and the latest details on transmission. Some seek advice on missed appointments; others wonder out loud about the virus flying through an open window. Tips and recommendations are posted on Weibo and WeChat, two of China's most popular social media platforms.
These forums have become the kind of community that women like Ms. Liu and Ms. Huang say they now depend on. And yet some women who have given birth in recent weeks have little consolation to offer these anxious mothers-to-be.
Zhang Chong delivered her second child, a boy, on Feb. 1 at a public hospital in Beijing. The hospital was understaffed, in part because some workers were still stuck in their hometowns following citywide quarantines.
Ms. Zhang's scheduled C-section surgery was delayed by a day because of the staffing shortage. None of her family members were allowed into the room during or after the surgery. Ms. Zhang was then placed in a ward with 40 new mothers and babies and just two nurses and two assistants.
Family was allowed to visit for only an hour a day, a drastic change to normal rules, which allow one family member to always be by the side of the new mother.
On the first night after the surgery, Ms. Zhang said, she could barely move her body. Her baby was crying and wanted to be fed, but no one was around to help her. For four nights, Ms. Zhang said, she was almost entirely alone.
"There were 100 times a day that I felt like crying," she said.
Her husband, desperate to help, tried unsuccessfully to bribe a security guard so he could stay with her longer.
Wang Yiwei contributed research from Beijing, and Cao Li from Hong Kong.

1. Which cases has Eddie the Springer spaniel sniffer dog been used in within the South Yorkshire Force area over the last five years?
Eddie, the specialist dog is no longer with South Yorkshire Police. He and his handler left the Force in August 2007. The information supplied therefore relates to his service between 2003 and 2007.
As two teams working together: handler Ellis and dog Frankie, with handler Grime and dog Eddie have been deployed on twenty occasions, with the recovery of four bodies.
Working alone, Grime/Eddie have been deployed on seventeen occasions with the recovery of one body and Ellis/Frankie have been deployed on five occasions with the recovery of three bodies, this includes the recovery of two women in one grave.
2. Which cases has Eddie the Springer spaniel sniffer dog been used in outside the South Yorkshire Force Area over the last five years? Please provide a breakdown for each year.
Out of the twenty occasions where the dog teams were deployed together, two deployments were in the South Yorkshire Police Force area and the remainder were out of the force.
All seventeen deployments for Grime/Eddie working alone were to external forces.
Two deployments for Ellis/Frankie were in the South Yorkshire Police Force area and the remaining three were to external forces.
3. What does the South Yorkshire constabulary charge for Eddie the sniffer dog's services? The daily charges for the deployment of Eddie were £700 per day Monday to Friday and £900 per day for weekly leave days and bank holidays. These charges have not changed over the last five years and are still applicable to date.
4. Please could you provide a breakdown of the fees and expenses charged for each case Eddie the Springer spaniel sniffer dog has been deployed in outside the South Yorkshire area in the last three years?
5. To whom is money made payable for the services of Eddie the sniffer dog?
All monies received for the deployment of Eddie during his time with South Yorkshire Police were paid to South Yorkshire Police.
6. Who owns Eddie the sniffer dog?
Ownership of Eddie was transferred from South Yorkshire Police to his handler Martin Grime when he retired from the Force in 2007.
7. What training did Eddie receive to assist him in his duties?
When Eddie was with South Yorkshire Police he received training in line with the ACPO dog committee standards for specialist dog training. The training was and in relation to current dogs is 18 days per annum.
"1. Can you confirm that the cadaver dog "Eddie", formerly a police dog under dog handler and dog instructor Martin Grime, now retired from your force, was sent to America to be trained on human cadavers and be upgraded to "enhanced" victim recovery dog?
2. Can you confirm that South Yorkshire Police uses, or has used, an American device for trapping scents, a "Scent Transfer Unit" or "STU100" in the training of its cadaver dogs?"
(PC GRIMES) has deployed police dog 'Eddie' to train on human remains in the US. This training has been valuable as it is not possible to utilise human remains in the UK. A full report from the F.B.I. to document his training and operational deployments whilst in America remains pending.
Deployments have been on a national scale and a recent visit to the F.B.I. in America has created some income generation potential in terms of training.
Complete sponsored visit to FBI to educate on C.S.I. Dog capabilities - Achieved.
I developed the training of the E.V.R.D. to include the screening of scent pads taken from motor vehicles by a STU100 Scent Tranference Unit.
The unit is designed in a two main-part design. The main body is a battery operated electrical device that draws air in at to the front and exhausts through the rear. There is no 're-circulation' of air within the unit. The second main part is a 'grilled' hood that fits to the main body. A sterile gauze pad is fitted into the hood. When operated the STU100 draws air through the hood and the sterile gauze pad and exhausts through ports to the rear. 'Scent' is trapped in the gauze, which may then be stored for use within scent discrimination exercises.
The STU100 unit is cleaned following use in such a manner that no residual scent is apparent. This is checked by control measures where the dog is allowed to search a given area where the STU100 is secreted. Any response by the dog would suggest contamination. Tests have shown that the decontamination procedures are effective in this case with the dog NOT alerting to the device when completed.
Use of the STU100 is recommended when subject vehicles, property, clothing, premises are to be forensically protected from contamination by the dog, and for covert deployment. At all other times best practice would be for the dog to be given direct access.
Operational use of the STU100 is in a developmental stage.
A missing person, last seen returning from church, on foot, in N. Ireland. The search of suspects 'burnt out vehicle' by forensic scientists did not reveal any evidence. A search by the E.V.R.D. identified a position in the rear passenger foot well where the dog alerted to the presence of human material. A sample was taken and when analysed revealed the victims' DNA. The enquiry then concentrated its efforts on the suspect and the E.V.R.D. located the body of the woman in a river bank deposition site. Further searches identified a location where the E.V.R.D. alerted in the front bedroom of the offenders empty next door dwelling house. When interviewed the suspect admitted that the body had lain in the room for 1 hour prior to disposal. Forensic teams were unable to extract any forensic evidence despite being shown the exact position.
A female was abducted by her ex-boyfriend. Intelligence suggested that her ex-boy friend had taken her to his house. A search by the EVRD of the house resulted in small blood stains being alert indicated and forensically confirmed as her blood. The suspect, a builder, was in possession of a van. This was searched and the EVRD dog alerted to a 'wacker plate', spirtit level, and shovel. A site was identified where the suspect had been working. The EVRD then located the body deposition site in an area of a garbage base that had been prepared by the suspect. He had returned with the dead girl, dug a grave in the centre, placed the body in the hole, replaced the spoil and then used the shovel, wacker plate and spirit level to return the ground to its original state.
A female was abducted and her whereabouts were unknown. The suspect was a bus driver. An initial search by the E.V.R.D. alerted at a location near to a sighting of the suspect in suspicious circumstances. A forensic search at the alert location revealed a small button off of the girls clothing in long grass. The offender confessed to the murder and confirmed her body had been initially temporarily placed at the dog's alert location.
A woman was reported missing by her partner. A search of the suspects house by the EVRD was conducted who indicated on the living room carpet. No forensic evidence was recovered. Subsequently a diary written by the suspect was alert indicated by the dog. The diary had written extracts that the offender had laid the victim on the carpet whilst dead, the diary had in fact been written by the suspect having handled the body. This was confirmed by the offender in interview.
A witness reported having seen two men walk off into brush land carrying a spade and a corpse. The area was searched with the EVRD with no indications being forthcoming. Other assets were utilised and the body was found: buried at a depth of 8 feet, under the water table, 3 feet of cement and 5 feet of earth replaced on top the corpse that was wrapped in cling film. There being no scent available to the dog to receive there was no forthcoming.

Yesterday, I went to a meeting of an Edinburgh alumni group at the Member's Room of the Swiss Scotch Malt Whisky Society in Schönenwerd. The group consisted of MBA alumni who were kind enough to invite us others, so we were a motley crew from different faculties and graduation years, and I happened to be the most senior of the lot, at least in terms of the graduation year. It was great fun to meet everybody, and I hope we will be able to do that again. The icing on the cake was that I got to see the Member's Room, which I've never been to despite of all the years that I'm a member.

You might need to rent someone's vacant lot, but require a in order to put getting this done. Just be sure location it on concrete blocks so it's off a floor (use a lot of blocks).
If you are looking to fill your current walls with artwork, place a few small pieces together from a home design group.

2021 NFL QB grades: Trey Lance shows star potential, Joe Burrow shines
Trey Lance
Justin Fields
Josh Schrock
January 5, 2022, 5:14 PM ·10 min read
American football quarterback
Grading NFL's young QBs: Lance makes 49ers excited for future originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
A changing of the guard is underway in the NFL. Or, at least, the influx of top-level quarterback talent over the last two drafts would suggest a new era is on the horizon.
Yes, 38-year-old Aaron Rodgers likely will win his second consecutive MVP award, and 44-year-old Tom Brady is still shredding defenses every Sunday. But last Sunday saw first- or second-year quarterbacks start games, and Justin Fields is set to return in Week 18 which would make that number an even 10 should Trey Lance get the nod over an injured Jimmy Garoppolo for the 49ers against the Los Angeles Rams.
RELATED: Jimmy G's status vs. Rams unclear
A third of the league is starting a quarterback who was drafted in the past two seasons. Some are stars. Some are raw. Others don't look the part. As we look to Week 18, the playoffs and the future, here is a grade for each young quarterback's performance this season.
Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
Let's start at the top.
Herbert rearranged the NFL rookie record book last season, and did so with the Chargers' coaching staff easing his NFL transition by giving him "half-reads." The Oregon product has continued his rise to stardom this season, setting the Chargers' single-season touchdown record with 35 while completing 67.3 percent of his passes and throwing for 4,631 yards.
The 23-year-old has gone from a "half-read" rookie to one of the elite processors in the game in just one season. He continues to show great rhythm and anticipation while having the athleticism to extend plays and the arm talent to make jaw-dropping throws like the one against the New York Giants.
JUSTIN HERBERT THROW OF THE YEAR

After being hampered by a poor offensive system at Oregon, Herbert has quickly gone from risky draft pick to young superstar and the arrow is pointing straight up for the Chargers signal-caller.
Season grade: A
Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
Burrow has thrown for 971 yards and eight touchdowns in the past two weeks. No, that's not a typo. In doing so, Burrow became the first quarterback in NFL history to have back-to-back games with 400-plus passing yards, four touchdowns and zero interceptions.
The 2020 No. 1 overall pick delivered an AFC North title in Year 2 and is playing outstanding football as the Bengals prepare for the Wild Card Round. The LSU product has impressive accuracy and an uncanny ability to evade rushers. But, much like Herbert, Burrow's decision-making in Year 2 is what has taken him and the Bengals to the next level. Drafting Ja'Marr Chase also didn't hurt.
On the season, Burrow has thrown for 4,611 yards, 34 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while completing 70.4 percent of his passes. Add in his unflappable nature and ability to bring his team back from multiple scores and the No. 1 pick in 2020 already has put himself in the conversation with the rest of the NFL's best.
Mac Jones, New England Patriots
All season long, Mac Jones has done exactly what Bill Belichick and Josh McDaniels have asked of him. He has been a point guard for the Patriots' offense, made very few mistakes and delivered New England back to the playoffs.
Early in the season, Jones went toe-to-toe with Tom Brady and Dak Prescott, giving the Patriots a chance to win both games. His accuracy and processing have been as advertised. The Alabama product finds open receivers and delivers the ball on time.
On the season, Jones has thrown for 3,540 yards, 21 touchdowns and 12 interceptions while completing 67.6 percent of his passes. He has been everything the Patriots hoped for and should only improve under the tutelage of McDaniels.
Grade: B-plus
Trey Lance, 49ers
We saw Lance make his first NFL start in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals, and while there were a few good moments in what was a 17-10 loss for the 49ers, Lance, for the most part, looked overwhelmed.
The No. 3 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft has spent the last two months developing behind the scenes, impressing his coaches and teammates with his scout-team work. But with Jimmy Garoppolo out with a thumb injury, Lance was called on Sunday to start vs. the Houston Texans. While the rookie got off to a shaky start, he settled in and made a number of impressive throws that should have the 49ers excited for what their future holds.
Here's Lance stepping up into the pocket and ripping a laser to Brandon Aiyuk.

On this play, Lance had an easy connection to George Kittle in the flat but instead made a ridiculous throw to Trent Sherfield for the downfield completion.
Trey Lance brings a downfield aggressiveness that adds serious intrigue to this offense. Shows up even in simple reps like this.

Obviously, Lance's ability to stretch the field vertically gives the 49ers' offense a dimension it hasn't had with Garoppolo.

— 49ers on NBCS (@NBCS49ers) January 2, 2022
Lance was far from perfect. He had some misfires, was picked off when trying to hit George Kittle on a wheel route in between two defenders and didn't always make the read Kyle Shanahan likely would have preferred. But in just his second career start and just third total start since the 2019 season, Lance showcased all the tools that made the 49ers salivate to draft him at No. 3 overall.
He remains raw as an NFL quarterback, but it's easy to see him becoming a star if he develops on the proper trajectory.
Grade: B (limited action)
Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles
Hurts has had an up-and-down first full season as the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback. The Oklahoma product by way of Alabama had some stinkers early in the season, but he has come on late and had one of his best games Sunday against the Washington Football Team.
With the run game not working and the offensive line struggling, Hurts put together a clean game, completing 65.4 percent of his passes while throwing for 214 yards in a 20-16 win that clinched a playoff berth for the Eagles. While Hurts has only eclipsed the 300-yard mark twice this season, and hasn't done so since Week 4, he has steadily improved and shown an ability to put the Eagles on his back when his team needs him to.
It's not always flashy with Hurts, but he has accounted for 26 total touchdowns and continues to grow as a passer. Last season, the Eagles went 3-8 with Carson Wentz as the starting quarterback. They are 8-7 with Hurts under center this season. Wins aren't a QB stat, but that's not nothing.
Grade: B-minus
Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
There isn't a lot to be said about Lawrence that hasn't been uttered since the moment the Jaguars hired Urban Meyer.
The Jags have been dumpster fire all season and Lawrence has paid the price. Jacksonville has no speed on the outside, the offensive scheme has been poor and Meyer's 13-game train wreck tenure was a constant distraction.
Lawrence has struggled as a result, but the tools that had many viewing him as the next generational quarterback are still there and he deserves a mulligan for this season.
Peyton Manning threw 28 interceptions as a rookie and he turned out OK. I'm not worried about Lawrence yet.
Grade: C
Justin Fields, Bears
Much like Lawrence, Fields has been hampered by Matt Nagy's inability to run an offense tailored toward his strengths. As a result, Fields has had some shaky moments, like his 68-yard performance against the Browns and his three-interception game against the Bucs.
However, Fields has had some great moments this season with most of them coming either when offensive coordinator Bill Lazor was calling the plays or when Nagy was unable to coach due to COVID-19 protocols.
When Nagy has ceded offensive control, the Bears offense has had more sense to use Fields as a runner, instead of an insistence on keeping him in the pocket, and more expansive route combinations. Even with Nagy getting in the way by running limited boots and rollouts, Fields still has had moments where you see how special he can be if the right staff is put around him.
There was this throw against the Steelers.

Fields has all the tools to be a special quarterback, but the Bears' next coaching hire is critical.
Zach Wilson, New York Jets
Wilson struggled mightily early on in the season. The game looked fast for the BYU product, he held the ball too long, took too many sacks and was prone to turnovers.
However, Wilson has looked better late in the season which is exactly what you want to see from a young QB in his first season. Wilson had his best performance of the season in Sunday's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He had his lowest time to throw, but did so while taking shots downfield. He hasn't thrown a pick in his last four games and has made a few eye-opening throws.
Holy moly! Look at this rope from Zach Wilson yesterday to Cole pic.twitter.com/BWWleg2jkT

It was a disaster early for Wilson and the Jets. He still has a long way to go, but at least things are trending in the right direction.
Grade: C-minus
Davis Mills, Houston Texans
The Texans' long-term plan at quarterback remains up in the air, but Mills has shown some nice stuff in his second stint as the starter.
He completed 21 of 27 passes for 254 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers, but came back to reality in Week 17 against the 49ers, throwing for just 163 yards while having some clear misses and making a few costly mistakes.
But the arm talent flashed as he connected on a deep throw to Brandin Cooks that traveled almost 60 yards in the air. However, it was negated by a holding penalty.
Mills also leads the NFL with a 113.3 passer rating in the red zone and has three 300-yard passing games this season while all other rookies have four combined.
The Texans might have something.
Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
Things continue to be shaky at best for the Dolphins quarterback. Tagovailoa has been an exceptional RPO quarterback this season, but he needs to be able to do more if Miami plans to stick with him as its franchise quarterback.
Tagovailoa is an accurate thrower but he is hampered by his questionable decision-making and inability to stretch the field vertically in a way that can elevate the Dolphins' offense.
There's reason to believe his ceiling still is high, but neither his stats (2,544 yards, 15 touchdowns, 10 interceptions) nor the eye test scream franchise QB after two seasons.
