Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has tested positive for COVID-19
London Dickinson December 25, 2021 2 min read
After doing his part to tackle the pandemic, Quebec footballer Laurent Duvernay Tardiff, who is also a doctor, tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday. Firmly, it does not go to maturity.
The New York Jets' color holder is already on the list of NFL players who have tested positive. Midfielder Joe Flacco has also been affected in New York training while coach Robert Salah has also been sidelined due to COVID-19.
Duvernay-Tardif, one of Quebec's favorite athletes, was named "Patriot of the Year 2020-2021" by the Société Saint-Jean-Baptiste (SSJB) in Montreal, on Wednesday, for his hard work off the ground during the pandemic.
A medical graduate from McGill University, Duvernay Tardiff has already chosen to take a full break from football in 2020 to help the health system in Quebec, enrolling at CHSLD in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
At the beginning of December, a poll conducted by the magazine in collaboration with Léger named Duvernay-Tardiff the Quebec Sports Person of the Year. The friendly footballer, who received 27% of the vote, was ahead of tennis player Felix Auger-Aliassime (22%).
hidden symptoms?
Having "LDT" on the NFL COVID roster isn't without causing trouble within the Goodell circuit. Some players are currently accused of covering up their symptoms so they can continue their season. However, they put other athletes at risk.
Unless there is a turnaround, Duvernay-Tardif should miss Sunday's game at MetLife between the Jets and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who was just recovering from an ankle injury. Flacco will also be left out because Zach Wilson will be the team's central midfielder.

Crowned Super Bowl champion in February 2020 while playing with the Kansas City Chiefs, Duvernay-Tardif was traded to the Jets on November 2.

Every yacht is unique and individual. The demands required by yacht owners (among the world's most wealthy customers in the world) is non-negotiable. The unique know-how linked to years of experience, of working materials, of adapting to very challenging technical constraints, (cramped conditions, marine environment, a wide variety of trades, materials etc..) developed by yachting sector businesses in the PACA region is a very important asset and resource that must be preserved and sustained.
But to transfer knowledge of tens of years is no small task. It needs structure and organisation to accomplish it. Monaco Marine University invites SME's from the PACA region to conserve their skills in the long-term by training their employees and supporting them in the transferral of their know-how. By doing this we can increase our status as the world's preferred destination for a technical 'pit stop' for superyachts and this will enable us to manage an ever-growing number of orders within this dynamic market sector. What's more the clients' expectations have also profoundly changed. We need to be more flexible, more reactive and more versatile in all sectors of the industry. But if we want to be all these things, we have to be multi-skilled. Monaco Marine University offers a way to the employment sector to gain these multi-functional qualities that are essential for the workers of tomorrow.
A standard requirement and excellence to lever growth in the business and the industry.
New methods of practical training have appeared with new computerised technology and communication (the internet). Nowadays training is ongoing and continues throughout our careers. Businesses are responsible for this and these days training is no longer a choice or an option but a duty required by the French government. Training must give each employee the opportunity to be highly employable throughout the length of his/her professional career.
This process leads to developing greater emphasis on technical knowledge, know-how and interpersonal skills within a business. Training is the way to achieve excellence today. The Monaco Marine workforce will benefit from this new training centre in the first place. But sub-contractors can also benefit from the centre which they otherwise would not have the financial or technical possibility to do. So Monaco Marine University offers them a key hands-on service, depending on their needs.
The temporary employment sector could also benefit from the courses. At last yacht crews based at shipyards during refit periods will also be offered workshops to learn French, French cookery, or as another example, perfume-making, for which our beautiful region is well known for its savoir-faire.
A full programme open to everyone.
The training programme for students is based upon three main axis: safety, project and Planning management, Craftsman's kills and interpersonal skills. Classes are delivered on campus or via e-learning.

Exercises for hamstrings injuries in sport
Hamstrings injuries can take many forms. Acute sporting injuries, in younger individuals, are frequently to the bulk of the muscle belly, whereas more chronic injuries, in older individuals, tend to involve the tendon insertions on the sitting bone. Depending on the type of sport, dynamic sports such as running and kicking tend to involved the contractile apparatus of the muscle, whereas less dynamic sports such as cycling or rock climbing, tend to involving the sitting bones and tendon insertion. Severe traumatic injuries, such as those from water skiing may also involve insertional fractures. Additionally, some sciatic nerve dysfunction from the low back or piriformis can mask as a hamstring injury. Finally, haematomas from a hamstring injury can form around the peripheral sciatic nerve, resulting in sciatic nerve like symptoms.
The Hamstrings are made up of four muscles. The Biceps Femoris (outside two muscles), Semitendinosus and Semimembranosus. The biceps can be considered the power mobilisers for bending and extending the knee, whereas the inside two muscles have a greater role in stabilisation, especially of the knee's medial joint complex.
The role of musculoskeletal physiotherapy is to make a differential diagnosis. Hereby, ascertaining the appropriate course of treatment and rehabilitation. More can be read elsewhere on the site : Differential Diagnosis of Hamstring Injuries. Exercise regimes should be functional and appropriate to the stage of injury and will often include back-hip and knee exercises as well as the eccentric hamstring programmes promoted by therapists dealing with the latter stages of an injury. Chronic Tendon - sitting bone insertion injuries, should be encouraged to do a lot of gluteal work, to take some of the load off the hamstring as well as enhance the nutrition to the tendon.
PRP - involving injections of platelet rich plasma might also be considered and was found to be effective in combination with haematoma aspiration in athletes (Trunz LM et al 2022, Med Sc Sp Ex, 54,1, 12-17). These authors found a significantly shorter return to play and shorter recurrence rate compared with athletes receiving conservative treatment. However, an active recovery program should be an essential part of rehabilitation, as it prepares a framework for the process of recovery, as well as establishes baselines and goals, specific to the stage of injury, which provide a benchmark, as to the rate and extent of recovery, which ultimately determines their return to sport competency. Invasive procedures should be undertaken with care and sometimes it's better 'not to poke the bear'.

Moon Bound by Michaela Rhua
I love a girl who can kick ass and stand up for herself. It has probably got to do something to do with trying hard to make my own decisions and step out from everyone's expectations.
A sassy heroine who is independent, courageous and sexy grabs my attention every time. Misty is no different – she is the one who rushes to the rescue, not once but twice. But then when you're a shifter who catches an unusual scent in the air a moonlit night, you have to go and find out where it leads. In Misty's case it leads to Sofya and the chemistry between these two lead them to seek each other out for some night-time action of the intimate kind!
Michaela has been kind enough to let me reproduce an excerpt from the book, so here goes !
"You're stalling, so it must mean it's time for me to leave." Sofya spun on the spot, and Misty swiftly caught her arm.
"Let's take a seat." Misty pointed to the sofa and Sofya nodded her agreement.
"Raya's father was killed when she was young, and it's all messed up." Misty took a sip. "He had land and somehow the local Were community were involved."
"My father had nothing to do with that…how could you think such a thing?" Sofya put the cup down and made to get up. Misty reached across and grabbed her arm. "I know, I know he didn't. It was all before his time. But if the land was taken without proper permission then Raya has a right to claim it."
"Wait, are you talking about the land that Wylan wants? He keeps bugging my dad to sign it over to him."
"You know about all this?" Misty sat up, alert to every detail. "Sure, I know there's something going on with some land issue, and I heard Wylan and dad talking about how the Vamps were warning us or something…wait." Sofya paused, looking into her cup. "What?"
"Wylan was talking about the night I was attacked and how the Vamps were sending a warning. I didn't get it at the time."
"Hold on, that makes sense. Raya and Amari have worked out that somehow the Shifters blamed the Witches who had some involvement in a curse on the Weres. It looks like the Vamps have been using both communities for their own reasons."
"Oh boy, not the stupid legend of how a powerful witch cursed the Weres who are now bound to the moon? Come on people." She rolled her eyes. "Sheesh."
"Each community holds on to their own beliefs and legends. For some it's what holds people together, since you know a common enemy. You and I are supposed to be enemies, but when you get rid of all that bad history we are two people who love each other."
"What? You love me? Seriously, like proper love?" Sofya's eyes widened. Misty suddenly realized what she had said. There was no going back now. "Y…Yes I do. I've never felt like this with anyone." Misty looked down at her hands, too scared to look up and stare Sofya in the face. She was worried at what she'd see. Rejection was not something she wanted to feel ever again. "I love you too." The words she longed to hear came as a whisper. Misty looked up and saw tears shining in the eyes of the woman she loved.

Indeed, while curmudgeonly types often criticize Millennials as being uninformed and uninterested in the news, they're actually heavily engaged with current events -- and social media plays a key role in how they get their information.
That's according to the latest report from the Media Insight Project, a joint effort from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research and the American Press Institute. Overall, 88% of Millennials surveyed for the MIP say that they get news from Facebook regularly, with a little over half getting news from Facebook daily. However, just 47% say that getting news is a primary motivation for visiting Facebook -- suggesting that Facebook is actually helping raise awareness and interest in current events. In fact, Millennials cited Facebook as their top way to get news for over half of major news and information topics (13 out of 24).
Nor is social media the "echo chamber" that some critics have alleged, with users self-sorting so they only see opinions they agree with. On that note, 86% of Millennials surveyed for the MIP said they usually see a range of opinions on social media, and 73% said social media prompts them to investigate opinions held by other people at least some of the time. However, they tend to turn to other channels when conducting further research, with online search the most popular follow-up method, cited by 57%.
Overall, 85% of Millennials say staying up on news is important to them, and 69% said they get news daily, regardless of the specific source. Eighty-two percent said they get most of their news from online sources, and some of them value news enough to shell out, with 40% paying for at least one news-specific service or app. Interestingly, social factors are actually driving news consumption as well, with 67% of Millennials saying the stay up on news to be able to talk about it with friends.
Turning to news categories, like most older adults, Millennials tend to consume a mix of hard news, lifestyle news, and practical "news you can use," with 45% saying they follow five or more "hard news" topics. In terms of devices, fully 90% of Millennials said they own a smartphone or tablet, but only half of Millennials said they are online most or all of the day.

I watched a live "survey" of college students being reported on by one of the cable channels a while ago, where these 18-24s were asked who attacked the U.S. on 9/11. A few got it right but most didn't, guessing it was North Korea, China or Russia. Makes you wonder about the quality of the "news" they are getting from their favorite sources----doesn't it?
Neil Aronson from ListenFirst Media, March 19, 2015 at 9:37 a.m.
There's plenty of "news" on Facebook, but for the most part it replicates the way people talking about the news in conversation, with exciting headlines spread by word of mouth. I'm a bit skeptical that Facebook encourages us millennials to actually read more full articles on serious news sites. It probably is just a bunch of people seeing "trending" news stories with a brief headline and subtitle attached.
As always, it would be great to get a link to the original study/article.

NJPW Best of the Super Juniors 2017 Night 1 (May 17) Results & Review
Posted by Voices of Wrestling Staff | May 17, 2017 | NJPW, Reviews
New Japan Pro Wrestling
Best of the Super Juniors 2017 Night 1
Korakuen Hall – Tokyo, Japan
Watch: NJPW World
Best of the Super Jr. XXIV A Block
TAKA Michinoku (2) Def. Jushin Thunder Liger (0)
Liger worked this match like a grumpy old prick, a side of him we only see on occasion. It being his last Best of the Super Juniors, he did everything he could to make an example out of TAKA and show that he's going to be on the top of his game. It seemed like he was one step ahead of him with everything he did, working as aggressively as ever. Busting out sentons to the outside of the ring, hitting him with a chair, he did everything he could, and TAKA of course being the little sneaky bastard that he is, still managed to get the roll-up win over Liger. What's interesting is that TAKA wore his K-DOJO gear instead of his usual Suzuki-gun gear, which means business in this tournament and won't be using Suzuki-gun to assist him, a bad move on his part but great for us viewers. We have Taichi for that Suzuki-gun garbage. If you enjoy the classic New Japan junior style, this is right up your alley. It was both guys at their best doing whatever they could to have the best match possible even in their older age. It was hot, it was fast-paced, there was a great sense of urgency, and you couldn't have asked for a better way to open the tournament. ****
Best of the Super Jr. XXIV B Block
Volador Jr. (2) Def. Tiger Mask IV (0)
Like Liger in the opener, Tiger Mask showed a ton of aggression towards Volador in this match in attempt to make an example out of him. He's aware that his days are coming to an end here soon and he wanted to prove that he can hang in there with a guy like Volador despite being several years older. Again, like Liger, you got the sense that Tiger Mask was working with urgency, almost like he wanted to get through Volador as fast as possible, even if it never seemed as though he was on the level Volador was on and clearly wasn't winning. Volador did a marvelous job working with him and looked like a million bucks as always does. He could easily end up being the star of his block night in and night out, which is saying a lot considering he's in the same block as KUSHIDA, he's that good. He's one of the best in the world in big matches. He got the win with an arm drag from the top rope in what was another super fun, hot, fast-paced match. ***3/4
Ricochet (2) Def. Taichi (0)
Once you get past the usual Taichi bullshit in the beginning, you had yourself another really good match here. Ricochet worked circles around Taichi as you would expect and also came across as a much bigger star than he did, with part of that being due to the crowd. Korakuen Hall loves them some Ricochet. Taichi was more tolerable than he usually is during the meat the match, essentially serving as a base for Ricochet's moves and not much else, thankfully. Unfortunately he's not going to lose every match the way he did here and will likely beat a few of the bigger names since New Japan insists on him not being a prelim jobber like he should be. Ricochet did a good job with him in this one though, so you take what you can get. ***1/4
ACH (2) Def. BUSHI (0)
I get the vibe from ACH that no one wants to be in Japan more than he does. Every time he's in Japan he looks like the happiest man alive and works harder than anyone, and his matches always deliver because of that. He's driven to have a great match and he's driven to get over with the fans. He belongs in this country and he belongs in this country as a pro wrestler. He and BUSHI had some pretty good chemistry, BUSHI being another guy who's always motivated when put in a big spot, and I'd like to see what ACH can do with the rest of the guys in his block. Does he have a chance of winning? No. I hesitate to say he'll even be in contention, but he does have a chance of having some of the best matches in the tournament, without question. Not a bad start for him with this one. He won with a brainbuster in a frenetic, intense match that could have been something truly special if given a few more minutes. ***3/4
El Desperado (2) Def. KUSHIDA (0)
Although there are quite a few guys who will have better matches than him, Desperado is the guy I'm most looking forward to following as the tournament progresses. He's an absolute lunatic in every sense of the word and as much as I hate Suzuki-gun, part of me (a small part but…a part) is thankful they're back solely so I can watch Desperado in singles matches. He's motivated, he's going to work hard and he's going to have some sneaky good matches like this one that not everyone is going to pay attention to because he's Desperado and he's the Suzuki-gun jobber. Desperado controlled the early portion of the match, attacking KUSHIDA at the bell, hitting a dive on the outside, throwing him into a set of chairs and reversing whatever KUSHIDA threw at him. KUSHIDA eventually took control and was on his way to victory before he accidentally tapped the referee on the back with his feet and we got to see one of the worst ref bumps in wrestling history. Once the ref got back up Desperado had already done the damage with KUSHIDA's newly won ROH TV title and then beat him with a Guitarra de Angel.
Sometimes Gedo has some of the people who have potential to win the block lose early on in the tournament, so I wouldn't expect KUSHIDA to lose too many more matches, nor would I expect Desperado to win too many more matches. He's very clearly the pin-eater of the block so is only going to get one or two more wins at best. One of the better KUSHIDA performances of the year accompanied by a great performance by Desperado. ****
Marty Scurll (2) Def. Will Ospreay (0)
While it doesn't have that great emotion or that great storytelling behind it in the way other memorable feuds from this era had like John Cena vs. CM Punk or Kevin Steen vs. El Generico for example, as a strictly in-ring, bell-to-bell wrestling rivalry, not many come close to Will Ospreay vs. Marty Scurll in terms of quality within these past several years. All of the matches these two have had together have been nothing short of fantastic, their chemistry is unmatched by just about any other two wrestlers, and this was yet another great addition to their rivalry. Marty Scurll was one of the most over guys on the entire show before he even came to the ring. It shows that Japanese fans do their homework on these foreigners, because there was no question they were schooled on the guy.
Like Taichi in the Ricochet match, Marty served more as a base to Ospreay's moves and didn't do a lot outside of his three or four spots that he does in all of his matches (apron superkick, JUST KIDDING, etc.), yet he still felt like he was just as important. He does such an excellent job making Ospreay look good and in return Ospreay sells like a maniac when Scurll does his spots, making Scurll look great as well.
Scurll is already a massive improvement over Adam Cole both in terms of quality and in terms of crowd reaction. He has more of a star presence and a personality that's easier to latch onto, where as Cole was merely a dude who'd come in every once in awhile, get okay reactions and have okay matches at best. I'd be shocked if New Japan didn't lock Scurll up to a deal here soon given the fact that he's a global wrestling superstar and they're trying to expand globally. Far from their best match together but that's not saying much. Utterly tremendous work out of both men here. ****1/4
Ryusuke Taguchi (2) Def. Yoshinobu Kanemaru (0)
Kanemaru is going to surprise a lot of people who have been down on his recent body of work this year. No, Kanemaru is not the wrestler he was 12 years ago and yes, Kanemaru is a bit lazy at times, but Kanemaru can still go in singles matches when he cares, which I don't know why he wouldn't in Best of the Super Juniors. With that being said, this match unfortunately wasn't anything to write home about as it never really got going and felt like it went on forever. Even though Taguchi does step up and deliver in BOSJ every year, he does tend to have at least one or two matches where I think he's pretty blah, and I thought he was pretty blah here. Both guys have better performances in them and will have much better matches with other people in their block. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, I was just expecting a little more. **3/4
Dragon Lee (2) Def. Hiromu Takahashi (0)
Remember when I said Scurll and Ospreay's chemistry is unmatched by just about any other two wrestlers? Well, Dragon Lee and Hiromu Takahashi might have them beat. Out of the eleven matches they've had together excluding this one and their six lightning matches, all eleven of them were phenomenal and ten of them showed growth over the previous as they slowly got to know each other to the point where they're now connected at the hip. Dragon Lee is Hiromu's career rival. When he's done with wrestling and when you think back on rivalries Hiromu was involved in, this is going to be number one on that list, and the same goes for Lee. Hiromu is one of the biggest stars in New Japan today and arguably the world, and there's a very good chance he wouldn't be where he is right now had this feud not happened.
Lee worked this like he was trying to out-crazy Hiromu by doing the most insane shit possible and busting out everything in his arsenal no matter how much of a toll it took on his own body. He was one step faster than Hiromu was in this match, Hiromu almost being overwhelmed by it because no one else has stepped up to him like this since he returned to New Japan. He beat Lee in February and came into this thinking what worked then would work now, only to learn that Lee came in with a fresh strategy. Even when Hiromu would get ahead it seemed Lee had an answer for everything. He hit Hiromu with his own sunset powerbomb onto the outside of the ring as an F-you, proving to him that he knows his game by now and knows his way around it. Hiromu's become a bit too predictable for him, where as Lee still has some tricks Hiromu can't work his way around. Lee won with a Phoenix Plex, the one move he knew Hiromu couldn't recover from, thus ending his undefeated streak as a singles wrestler in New Japan.
While this was a fantastic match that told a fantastic story, it did feel like they were holding some back for the inevitable title match, which I imagine will be at Dominion since Lee's my pick to win the whole tournament. Perhaps Hiromu will have an answer for Lee next time they meet, perhaps he'll be expecting that Phoenix Plex and perhaps he'll be the one who's a step ahead. You never know with either of them, but tonight was Lee's night. ****1/4
With six matches bordering on great and two other matches that were pretty decent, I'm not sure I can name you ten wrestling shows better than this in 2017. No matter what kind of fan you are, there was something on this show for you. If you like old school junior style matches, you got TAKA vs. Liger. If you like modern juniors style, you got Lee vs. Hiromu. If you like American indie style, you got Scurll vs. Ospreay. If you like lucha, you got Tiger Mask vs. Volador. Everything was represented perfectly, and I can't recommend it strongly enough. Go watch this.

Q: I don't understand Python's main block. What is that thing? So I start up pyscripter and I get a file with this in it:
def main():
    pass

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

What is that? Why does my program work without it as well? Whats the purpose for this anyway?
Where would my code go? Lets say a a function that prints hello world. Where would that go? where would I call it?

A: The __name__ global is set to __main__ when you execute a python file,
while when you import the file it is set to it's name.
That construct allows you to execute some code only if the file is executed.
For example if you have the file mymain.py:
def main():
    print('Hello, World!')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

You obtain this results:
$ python mymain.py
Hello, World!
$ python
Python 2.7.3 (default, Aug  1 2012, 05:14:39)
[GCC 4.6.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import mymain    # main() *not* executed
>>> mymain.main()
Hello, World!

It's often useful to being able to import a file without having code executed. In this way the main function can be called by third party software without having to create a new process and allowing them to change some things before running it.
So, it is not necessary but it is good practice to use it. Often you'll realize that some functions/classes of a program could be useful by an other program, so being able to import a file without having the main program be executed is good practice.
Comparing to Java having an if __name__ == '__main__': block is like having a class that has only a main method and uses other classes to do his job, while not using it is like having a main method inside a class that also provide other functionality(e.g. some kind of Container or whatever with also a main method that executes the main program).

A: Everything in Python is a statement, there's no such thing as a declaration (for example, a def is a statement creating a function object and binding it to a name). Importing a module means (after some bookkeeping) executing the statements in the module. Likewise, executing a Python file means importing it as module. Hence, just writing a program as module level statements works.
But of course, this is not reusable. When the "program" should also be importable for other modules, you put it in a function (and there are a few other, minor advantages too). But then executing the file (python file.py) wouldn't do anything but defining that function.
Enter __name__, which is the module name and equal to '__main__' for the "entry point" module. So the condition checks if the module was imported or run as script, and does its job in the latter case.

A: The purpose is basically that you can define a central entrypoint, if, and only if, the script is directly run on its own. Because __name__ will only ever be equal to '__main__', if it is run on its own. Putting your script's actual content into a separate function allows other scripts to import said function and run it whenever they want it, so it won't run immediately when the script is imported.
This is also often used in libary modules to have some default behaviour when you just need something quickly. For example the http.server module offers a wide functionality to create your own HTTP server with whatever features you can think of. If you just want to quickly have a simple server listen and pass files statically, you can just use the module's default behaviour when run from the command line.
Running python3 -m http.server on the command line will exactly do that; run the http.server module, which itself will start a simple HTTP server in its __name__ == '__main__ block.
In response to your comment:
For normal modules, that act as libraries, contain types or functions, your application needs, you don't need a main function or main block. For scripts that are called directly, for example your starting script that actually launches your application you will have some kind of code that is not encapsulated in functions or classes but that runs directly. That would be something, you could put in a main function which you then call separately. This gives you a bit more freedom to where you put that code. For example you can have the main function directly at the beginning of the file, while additional functions that are called within it are defined further into the file. And the very last part of the script is then the main(). You don't necessarily need to put that into a if __main__ == '__main__': condition, you could just call it directly. So for example your script could look like this:
def main ():
    # doing something
    utilityFunction(...)
    otherUtilityFunction(...)

def utilityFunction (...):
    ...
def otherUtilityFunction (...):
    ...

main()

If you don't put the code into a separate function, you'd have to do all the processing at the bottom (after your function definitions) and that might be counter-productive if you just want to quickly see what you do when the script is directly called.
Now, as I said, you don't need to put that into main-condition block; you can just call it directly. However, if for whatever reason you ever need to include that file, for example because you want to encapsulate it into some other thing, or if you want to call it repeatedly from an interactive shell (IDLE or something), you probably don't want to run main() whenever you just import the module but only when you want to actually execute its functionality. That's where you should put the main() into the condition; that way it won't get executed unless you are directly executing the module.
In general, it's not a bad idea to always put the main() call into such a condition, as it will never hurt but often turn useful at some later point.

A: You don't actually need this trick for "Hello world", but it is useful in case you are writing a module. The if __name__ == '__main__' clause would make it run main() only if the script is executed directly, and not if used as an import from another script.

A: The idea is quite simple : you can use the file both as a package (something to import somewhere) or as a pure script. If the file is used as a script, the Python's interpreter variable "__name__" contain "__main__" instead of the name of the package.
So, there we test if the __name__ is setted to __main__, which mean we are in script mode, and if yes, we execute the code in the "if" block.
You have to understand a major difference between Java and Python : in Python, when the interpreter read a file, it is executed --> both declaration and code are interpreted, and many features of Python are based upon that.

What should your living expenses be in retirement?
Is there a problem with Delta pilot PBS?
Average Retirement Expenses. Americans aged 65 and older spend an average of $48,106 per year, or $4,008.83 per month, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. More specifically, those aged 65 to 74 spend $52,928 annually, while spending drops for people aged 75 and older spend to $41,471 annually.
Lower your expenses. Many retirees are tempted to spend more money on leisure activities in retirement.
Mortgage. Paying off your mortgage eliminates one of your biggest monthly bills.
Commuting costs.
A second car.
Professional clothing.
Time-saving costs.
Office costs.
Paying full price.
Housing. Housing, which includes mortgage, rent, property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs is the largest expense for retirees. More specifically, the average retiree household pays an average of $17,472 per year ($1,456 per month) on housing expenses which represents almost 35% of their annual expenditures.
The Top 5 Expenses That Could Go Up in Retirement
Healthcare. For many, health insurance is at least partially paid for by an employer.
Travel. What do many people do with their newfound freedom in retirement?
Education. Education costs come in many forms.
Purchases.
One common rule suggests people plan on needing about 70% to 80% of their pre-retirement income to pay the bills. Many retirees do find that their expenses go down, sometimes even below that estimate. Still another cause: Retirees simply have more free time to spend, spend, and spend.
3 Ways to Retire Without Any Savings
Boost your Social Security benefits. The great thing about Social Security is that it's designed to pay you for life, and a higher monthly benefit could compensate for a lack of retirement savings.
Get a part-time job.
Rent out part of your home.
According to 2016 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average 65-plus household spends $48,885 per year, which works out to about $4,000 per month. But no two people are alike, so figuring out how much money you'll need on a monthly basis will depend on your lifestyle, goals and unique retirement vision.
With that in mind, you should expect to need about 80% of your pre-retirement income to cover your cost of living in retirement. In other words, if you make $100,000 now, you'll need about $80,000 per year (in today's dollars) after you retire, according to this principle.
Improve your efficiency, control costs and manage change using a complete solution that seamlessly spans airline, airport and customer operations.
Tip: According to research by Fidelity Financial Solutions, you should plan on factoring in approximately 15% of your retirement expenses will be related to health care expenses, year in and year out.
Expect 15% of your living expenses to be related to health care expenses after you retire, year in and year out. As you near retirement, consider working with an advisor to fine-tune your budget and retirement income plan.

Peter Jackson to Direct Beatles Documentary About 'Let It Be'
Posted January 30th, 2019
by Kelly Woo
Call him "Lord of the Ringo" — Peter Jackson's next directing project will focus on the Beatles.
Jackson will direct a feature documentary based on 55 hours of never-released footage of The Beatles in the studio while making the album "Let It Be."
The studio sessions, shot in January 1969, produced the Grammy Award-winning album with the Academy Award-winning title song. "Let It Be" ended up being the iconic band's final album; it was released in May 1970, several months after the Beatles had broken up.
The video footage and 140 hours of audio are the first of its kind, as they reveal the Beatles' creative process. Most footage of the band is of concerts, interviews, and movies.
The project has the full support of Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Yoko Ono Lennon for the late John Lennon, and Olivia Harrison for the late George Harrison.
"I was relieved to discover the reality is very different to the myth," says Jackson. "After reviewing all the footage and audio that Michael Lindsay-Hogg shot 18 months before they broke up, it's simply an amazing historical treasure-trove. Sure, there's moments of drama — but none of the discord this project has long been associated with. Watching John, Paul, George, and Ringo work together, creating now-classic songs from scratch, is not only fascinating — it's funny, uplifting, and surprisingly intimate."
Since directing "The Hobbit" trilogy, which concluded in 2014, Jackson has taken a bit of a break from filmmaking. He returned last year to direct the World War I documentary "They Shall Not Grow Old."
Using state-of-the-art technology and materials from the BBC and Imperial War Museum, filmmaker Peter Jackson allows the story of World War I to be told by the men who were there. Life on the front is explored through the voices of the soldiers, who discuss their feelings about the conflict, the food they ate, the friends they made and their dreams of the future. Read More

AT&T gained subscribers for both its mobile and high-speed wireline services in the fourth quarter, posting revenue and profit increases from a year earlier.
The carrier's revenue rose 1.8 percent to US$33.2 billion. Wireless data was a strong driver in that gain, up 16.8 percent from a year earlier. Total revenue from the company's U-verse high-speed Internet and TV service rose 27.9 percent.
AT&T added 809,000 total wireless subscribers, led by 566,000 postpaid customers, including 299,000 using smartphones. It logged 440,000 net additions of tablet customers. So-called churn, or turnover of customers, hit a fourth-quarter record low of 1.1 percent, the carrier said, despite increasing competitive offers from rivals such as T-Mobile USA.
Profit came in at $1.31 per share, but that included several one-time items, such as a gain from benefit plans. Not counting those, AT&T earned $0.53 per share, up 20.5 percent from $0.44 a year earlier. That exceeded the consensus forecast from financial analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters by $0.03 per share.
AT&T's U-verse high-speed Internet gained 630,000 in the quarter and its related U-verse TV offering added 194,000 subscribers. The Internet service ended the year with 10.7 million subscribers and the TV service with 5.5 million. However, including voice, DSL and other services, wireline revenue fell 1.4 percent from a year earlier.
The company spent $21 billion on capital investments in 2013, which it called the peak year for its Project VIP network buildout that included expansion of its LTE network. AT&T expects to complete its LTE rollout to cover about 300 million people ahead of its target date of the end of 2014, Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said. He said that buildout should be finished by the end of summer, which typically means the beginning of September in the U.S.
This year, AT&T expects revenue growth of 2 percent to 3 percent and capital investment of about $21 billion.

James Rollins is a New York Times top ten bestselling author. All his novels reprint - MAP OF BONES alone has sold over 100,000 copies so far. Rollins' novels are in the bestselling tradition of Dan Brown and Raymond Khoury. THE LAST ORACLE is a pulse-pounding mix of science, adventure and mystery, blending ancient secrets with cutting-edge technology. He's already been attracting excellent reviews: 'A non-stop thrill-a-minute ride' Tess Gerritsen. 'This novel about an ancient secret society and the race to find priceless antiquities is sure to be compared to Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code, but, in every way, it's a much better book. Where Brown's bestseller was predictable despite its compelling premise, this tale is clever and suspenseful' Booklist. 'An adventure in the grand manner. Rollins takes the reader through the horror and intrigue...like no one else. The action never relents' Clive Cussler.
James Rollins is the author of nine previous hit novels. An amateur spelunker and scuba enthusiast, he holds a doctorate in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri. He currently lives and writes in Sacramento, California.

Main Ideas Symbols
Symbols are objects, characters, figures, and colors used to represent abstract ideas or concepts.
The title of To Kill a Mockingbird has very little literal connection to the plot, but it carries a great deal of symbolic weight in the book. In this story of innocents destroyed by evil, the "mockingbird" comes to represent the idea of innocence. Thus, to kill a mockingbird is to destroy innocence. Throughout the book, a number of characters (Jem, Tom Robinson, Dill, Boo Radley, Mr. Raymond) can be identified as mockingbirds—innocents who have been injured or destroyed through contact with evil. This connection between the novel's title and its main theme is made explicit several times in the novel: after Tom Robinson is shot, Mr. Underwood compares his death to "the senseless slaughter of songbirds," and at the end of the book Scout thinks that hurting Boo Radley would be like "shootin' a mockingbird." Most important, Miss Maudie explains to Scout: "Mockingbirds don't do one thing but . . . sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird." That Jem and Scout's last name is Finch (another type of small bird) indicates that they are particularly vulnerable in the racist world of Maycomb, which often treats the fragile innocence of childhood harshly.
As the novel progresses, the children's changing attitude toward Boo Radley is an important measurement of their development from innocence toward a grown-up moral perspective. At the beginning of the book, Boo is merely a source of childhood superstition. As he leaves Jem and Scout presents and mends Jem's pants, he gradually becomes increasingly and intriguingly real to them. At the end of the novel, he becomes fully human to Scout, illustrating that she has developed into a sympathetic and understanding individual. Boo, an intelligent child ruined by a cruel father, is one of the book's most important mockingbirds; he is also an important symbol of the good that exists within people. Despite the pain that Boo has suffered, the purity of his heart rules his interaction with the children. In saving Jem and Scout from Bob Ewell, Boo proves the ultimate symbol of good.

A brief note regarding a book that might be equally of interest for infovis researchers as well as for infovis users. "Interactive Graphics for Data Analysis: Principles and Examples" is divided into two parts. The first part illustrates general principles how graphical methods are most efficiently used to analyze data. The second part uses nine real world datasets to show the application of these techniques as nine fully worked out case studies. The book uses the Mondrian visualization tool throughout the book, though the techniques and case studies are presented (almost) independently from any specific implementation. A 30 page appendix gives a quick overview and introduction of the Mondrian software.
There is more information on the book at http://www.interactivegraphics.org, which also contains some sample chapters for preview.

Our mission is to work with and on behalf of people with mental health needs, ensuring their fair and equal treatment, and to promote better mental health for all.
Macquarie European Financials team plus extras - Ed, Anna, Namita, Patrick and Robin - aim from time to time to complete a challenge that both gets us out from behind our desks and raises money for amazing local charities - which Macquarie has kindly agreed to match fund up to A$25,000.
This year we are climbing Mont Blanc for three charities including West Kent Mind. West Kent Mind works to transform the lives of all children and adults affected by mental health problems, believing that no-one should battle a mental health problem alone.
Mental health problems affect all of us - through loved ones, friends, or even personally simply because life is stressful and difficult at times. Approximately 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health problem every year from mild anxiety through to clinical depresssion or worse ... West Kent Mind has been operating for over 50 years supporting, advising and counselling local people and is one of 140 local Mind associations affiliated to the national charity, Mind. Mind provides advice and support to 375,000 people a year through local Mind services, approximately 65,000 queries answered by dedicated Helplines and nearly 11m visits to the mental health pages of Mind.org.uk.
To help raise essential funds, our team of novices plan to climb the summit of Mont Blanc - which at 4,810 metres above sea level is not only the highest mountain in the Alps (and the 11th highest in the world by topographical prominence), it is also Western Europe's deadliest mountain.
Please help us make sure that every metre we climb helps someone with a serious mental health problem by giving a little (or a lot - we're not fussy!) to this fabulous cause.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure - your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. By kindly donating today, your money will go directly to West Kent Mind. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Thank you so much for your support - we really appreciate it.

Mechanical relays are devices that can turn on or turn off the power supplied to another device, like a switch. However, instead of having a person flip the switch, mechanical relays switch when provided with a small amount of power. This allows high-power circuits to be controlled by low-power devices.
They perform the same function as Solid State Relays, except they are less expensive and have a shorter lifespan. You can use them to control LEDs, heaters, appliances, and generally any powered device as long as the power you're switching falls within the limits of the relay you're using.
Phidgets sells boards with multiple relays on them, making it easy to control many separate circuits with your computer. Some boards plug straight into your USB port, while others are designed to connect to another device, such as an Interface Kit, or any device with enough Digital Outputs.
Mechanical Relay
The switching arm and contacts of a SPDT mechanical relay.
Mechanical relays use an electromagnetic coil to open or close the circuit. When current runs through the input and energizes the coil, it creates a small magnetic field which either pulls the arm of the switch away from the other contact of the switch, or pushes it down to close the switch depending on the how the switch is made. A relay also serves as an isolator, because the control (input) and load (output) ends of the relay are not electrically connected. This allows you to protect the device you're using to control the relay from power surges in your application.
Basic Use
Controlling a mechanical relay is as easy as turning on an LED or light bulb. By simply supplying enough power to energize the electromagnetic coil, you will be able to control a mechanical relay. A normal digital output will not be powerful enough without external components as described in the relay section of the Digital Output Primer. A Phidgets device with Digital Output Primer, on the other hand, will be able to control a relay on its own. Relays are often used in large quantities to turn multiple devices on and off in a particular order or timing. For example, a popular trend has been to hook up many strands of Christmas lights to multiple relays and a control system in order to make them flash in rhythm with specific music.
Relays are designed to be controlled by a particular voltage applied to the coil. If you buy a relay product from Phidgets with integrated electronics, this is taken care of for you- you'll be able to switch the relays via USB or with any Phidgets device with enough Digital Outputs (see table below), depending on which relay board you buy. If you are integrating your own relay, you'll want to keep an eye on the specifications. The relay coil is also specified for a particular current. For example, a 5V relay might require 70mA. If you connect this relay to a very weak source of 5V, like a digital output, the output will not be able to provide 70mA, and there will not be enough current to switch the relay.

The load side of the relay also requires a minimum current. This minimum load current (also called "wetting current") is a requirement because the electricity needs to conduct through an oxide layer that has formed on the contacts of the relay. If the minimum load current requirement of your relay is too high, you won't be able to use it to switch a signal (such as the data line on an analog sensor), you'll only be able to switch power to a circuit. If you're using a relay to switch a signal, contact bounce might also be a problem.
Switching Speed and High-Frequency Switching
Even though they use moving mechanical parts, mechanical relays switch very quickly. The amount of time it takes for current to begin flowing through the circuit from when the relay's input is activated is in the order of tens of milliseconds. For extremely time-sensitive applications that need to minimize switching delay, Solid State Relays can switch as quickly as 1ms.
You should be careful when using mechanical relays in applications that require very frequent switching. Typically, mechanical relays can only manage one contact every few seconds- any quicker and they may begin to overheat.
Choosing a Relay
Since mechanical relays are nothing more than a controllable switch, they support both AC and DC loads.
The major deciding factor in choosing a mechanical relay is the amount of current it's capable of switching. For example, the most current you can switch with the largest mechanical relay we sell is 5A DC or 10A AC. If the load you're switching consumes more current than our mechanical relays can handle, take a look at our Solid State Relays.
One of the major characteristics of a mechanical relay is the design of the switch inside. A switch can generally be defined by the number of poles and throws it has. The number of "poles" refers to the number of individual circuits the switch controls. The number of "throws" refers to the number of positions the switch arm can occupy.
Single Pole, Single Throw (SPST)
This is a simple switch with only one path for the current to follow. The relay is either designed to be normally open or normally closed. If it is normally open, the arm of the switch is held away from the contact with a spring when the relay is off and the electromagnet pulls the arm to make contact and close the switch when the relay is turned on. If it is normally closed, the arm of the switch is held to the contact when the relay is off, and the electromagnet pulls the arm away when the relay is turned on.
While the decision to use a normally opened or normally closed relay may seem arbitrary at first, it is actually very important for certain applications. If you choose a normally closed relay, it means your load will remain powered as long as the relay coil is not powered. If some other part of your system fails, causing your relay to lose power, your load will remain powered even though it should not be. For loads that are potentially dangerous when left on (such as a heater, or a high-power load) it is best to use a normally open relay, so that in the event of a system failure, the load will remain off. On the other hand, circuits that are designed to be powered most of the time but temporarily interrupted will use less power if they use a normally closed relay. An example of this type of circuit is the radio in a car: When the engine is started, the radio circuit is momentarily switched off because the engine needs a large amount of battery power to start.
Single Pole, Double Throw (SPDT)
Toggle Between Two Loads
By connecting the power supply to the common terminal, and connecting a different load to the other two terminals, a relay with a SPDT switch can be used to toggle power between the two loads.
Full-size Image
This switch has two paths for the current to follow. This type of relay is useful if you want to toggle power between two different loads, as pictured. You can also use a SPDT relay as a single pole, single throw switch, and it can function as normally open or normally closed depending on which pins (common and normally open, or common and normally closed) you connect the load to.
Double Pole, Single Throw (DPST)
This switch functions like two SPST switches, but both switches are controlled by one coil. This type of switch is useful for keeping two loads on separate circuits while still being able to have them turn on and off in unison.
Double Pole, Double Throw (DPDT)
This switch functions the same as a SPDT switch, except there are two of them, but are both controlled by a single input on the relay. You can use this type of switch to simultaneously control two separate circuits.
Contact Bounce
As with any mechanical switch, relays are susceptible to contact bounce. This means that when the switch closes, the arm can bounce on the contact, causing the load's power to flicker slightly. This usually only matters when the application is triggered by pulses in the power signal, or for applications where meaningful data is being switched instead of power. For example, a circuit designed to increment a counter every time power is applied to its input could incorrectly interpret a bouncing relay contact as multiple switch events. Or, a circuit that uses a relay to switch an audio signal between two different paths will experience some static noise when switching if there is significant contact bounce. Check the switch primer for information on how to deal with switch contact bounce. It's worth mentioning that Solid State Relays don't suffer from contact bounce, because they operate without using moving mechanical parts.
Arcing, Interference, and Sticking
When a mechanical relay opens or closes, for the moment that the arm of the switch is very close (but not connected) to the contact, the electric current can arc through the air between the contacts. This arc can cause interference with nearby electrical instruments and sensors. For example, if an unshielded cable carrying an audio signal is travelling past some relays whose contacts are arcing when they switch, the audio would contain bursts of static noise.
This arcing can also heat up the contacts of the switch enough that they can slowly degrade away until the relay no longer functions. They could also weld together, causing the relay to stay on permanently, which means your load will be powered constantly. If this imposes safety concerns, you should install a fail-safe of some kind. For example, some sauna heaters are turned on with a mechanical relay. In the event of a relay failure, the sauna heater will remain on and continue heating the room beyond the intended temperature. However, a simple mechanical temperature sensor is installed which cuts power to the heater if the room goes beyond a certain temperature.
Some relays are encased in a clear plastic enclosure (sometimes called "ice cube" relays), so the switch contacts can be easily inspected. By inspecting the contacts periodically, you could tell when the relay is getting near the end of its life.
Prolonging Relay Lifespan
In order to prolong the lifespan of your relay, avoid switching loads of higher voltage or current than the relay is built for, and avoid highly inductive loads, which worsen the effects of contact arcing. Your Load will probably be inductive if it is built around a large coil of wire - motors and transformers are typical examples. A load considered resistive may also have loops of wire - for instance, hair dryers, toasters, incandescent bulbs use twisted wire elements to generate the heat. An inductive load will have thousands of loops of wire - it's a matter of scale.
Additionally, you should avoid switching at or near the relay's maximum frequency if possible. You can think of a mechanical relay's lifespan in terms of number times switched rather than the amount of time it's used for. A relay that doesn't need to be switched very often can last a long time. If your application requires constant switching over long periods of time, it might be more cost-effective to use a Solid State Relay.
Arc Suppression
DC Load Protection

Full-sized Image
AC Load Protection
A diagram of a mechanical relay switching an AC load. An optional MOV or Transil diode is placed in parallel to protect the relay from voltage spikes.
The main cause of failure for mechanical relays is electricity arcing across the contacts during switching. To lengthen the lifespan of your relay, you can add various circuit elements that mitigate arcing.
For DC powered applications, one simple method of mitigating the effects of contact arcing is to place a feedback diode across the load, as pictured. This will allow some of the residual electricity in the circuit to recirculate through the load instead of contributing to the arc that forms when the switch makes the transition from closed to open. You can buy a suitable diode from any electronics distributor, like this Diode from Digikey.
For AC powered applications, you can put a Metal Oxide Varistor (MOV) across the load terminals of the relay in order to protect it from voltage spikes. An MOV will not remove the entire arc, but it will be helpful in circuits up to several hundred volts. You can buy an MOV from any electronics distributor, like this MOV from Digikey.
For low-voltage AC applications, a bi-directional transient voltage suppression diode ("transil diode") that is rated for higher than the AC voltage of the circuit can be placed across the relay terminals in order to protect it from voltage spikes. You can buy one from any electronics distributor, like this Transil Diode from Digikey.
Mechanical relays are inexpensive and simple devices that allow AC or DC circuits to be switched on and off using a small amount of power. They come in a variety of switch formats, enabling the user to build some very clever control into a circuit. Phidgets Inc. sells boards with multiple relays that can be connected directly to USB, so they can be controlled by your program.
Contact arcing and switch bounce can be an obstacle for some applications, but both are common problems and can be worked around fairly easily. Mechanical relays don't last as long as solid state relays, but if you take care of them, they can be a good cost-effective alternative.
1014_2 - PhidgetInterfaceKit 0/0/4
3051_1 - Dual Relay Board
SPST - either normally open or normally closed. Simple on/off switch.
SPDT - 3 pins, has both a NO and NC pin and can function like a SPST switch of either type, or can be used to toggle power between two different loads.
DPDT - Same as SPDT but there are two controlled by the same relay input. Useful for controlling 2 seperate circuits in a synchronized manner.
Potential selection criteria for specific switching circuits.
Contact Arcing
As the switch moves from the "on" position to the "off" position (and vice-versa) there is a moment when the arm of the switch in close enough to the contact that electricity will arc through the air, creating lots of heat and possibly damaging the contact. (Diagram would be useful)
Arcing can lead to sticking, where the switch welds itself closed. If your relay is always on, it might be stuck.
Arcing will be more severe with higher power loads or highly inductive loads.
Arcing is expected, but can be mitigated by:
For DC, feedback diode across load
For AC, Snubber circuit or
MOV or
Switching Speed
Lifespan of relay is measured in number of contacts, not time in use. Faster switching -> shorter life.
Switching is audible - you can hear the switching, which might be annoying / undesirable, or it might be good as a confirmation the system is operating.
Switching speed is limited by heating in the contacts - the arcing generates heat, and switching high loads faster than the rated switching speed will cause the relay to overheat.
Time it takes for the arm of the switch to connect with the contact after being activated
If 10ms is too slow, look at SSRs
Can be controlled via digital output
Relay offers isolation between load circuit and control circuit
Maximum (AC/DC) Switching Voltage
Secondary selection criteria.
Maximum (AC/DC) Switching Current
Main selection criteria.
If they need to switch more than 5A DC, or 10A AC, go to SSRs
Inductive loads- does the same multiplier apply as for SSRs?
Minimum Switching Current
A certain amount of current is needed on the LOAD side of a relay.
Oxide films build up on the contacts, so this minimum is required to conduct through them.
This spec determines whether or not the relay can switch a signal instead of power.
If you are switching a signal rather than power, contact bounce could be a problem.

Recent Visit to The Machrie, Isle of Islay, Scotland [Thru Our Eyes]

Vice President, Sales & Operations
The Machrie on the Island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland, had always been a favorite of mine having visited it many times since the 1990's. Islay is famous as the source of world class malt whisky due to its heavily peat soil which creates a very distinctive flavor of whisky. The golf course was as traditional a Scottish links as you could find with as many as 8 blind tee shots and 8 blind approaches, a throwback to a different era. You had to play it on several occasions to learn the correct lines and how to play in the different conditions that face you. It wasn't a long course but it didn't need to be, however you had to find the fairway and that is where the difficulty lay. It was a special place to play golf, the feeling of isolation, just you versus the course and the elements. It was however not for everyone, you could say the course was too hard even for the average player, the blind shots combined with rough so thick you rarely found a ball that missed the fairway.

Everything You Need to Know About The Old Course & St Andrews
April 25, 2017 April 26, 2017 Harrison Gould
In the WEBINAR PODCAST, Gordon Dalgleish – President of PerryGolf – explained the various options available for arranging play on golf's original course plus he shared some advice on how to play this most idiosyncratic of links courses. We also talked about the local lodging choices along with a few minutes about the "Auld Grey Toon" herself which is every bit as interesting as the golf.
The Old Course is a remarkable round of golf. Obviously because of the history. Certainly because of the surroundings. But when you know that even though it hasn't changed materially since 1794 – yet it hosted its 29th Open Championship in 2015 – it's clear this is a golf course that stands the test of time (and technology) unlike any other in the world. The uniqueness of the experience is why we have built our company around St Andrews.
The 2018 season begins an important era at the Old Course of St Andrews. St Andrews Links Trust takes back control of the allocation of all their commercial starting times, the responsibility for which was outsourced to a third party for the past twenty years. PerryGolf has done business with St Andrews Links Trust since 1984, the longest such relationship of any existing tour operator. PerryGolf has accepted an invitation to become an Authorized Provider, and in doing so continues this long held and valued association with the Trust. Our season long allocation of starting times for 2018 ensures we are in a very strong position to accommodate clients from around the world who seek to make the pilgrimage to the Home of Golf with secure and guaranteed advance arrangements to play The Old Course.
