Chubb Brings Ground Zero Flag Back Home
The iconic flag's inclusion at the 9/11 Memorial Museum helps to commemorate the 15-year anniversary of the 2001 attacks.

Hours after the World Trade Center towers fell, newspaper photographer Thomas E. Franklin hitched a ride on a rescue tug boat to Manhattan and stood on the West Side Highway.
Across the wide road, atop the towers' smoldering rubble, three dusty firefighters were affixing an American flag to a pole jutting skyward.
Franklin pointed his telephoto lens and snapped a picture that would appear not only on the front page of his paper, "The Record" of Bergen County, N.J., but in newspapers around the world.
The breathtaking image aptly captured a moment of unimaginable loss, resilience and hope, and echoed the famous photo of the flag being raised on Iwo Jima in World War II.
The flag at Ground Zero, which had been purchased at a boat show 10 months earlier for $50, was the centerpiece of one of the most memorable photos from one of the worst days in American history. In a snap, it became an invaluable national treasure.
But hours later, the flag disappeared. And no one seemed to know who removed it or where it went.
After a few twists and turns, and 15 years, the iconic 4-by-6-foot American flag finally returned to New York City, courtesy of an insurance company.
"The raising of this American flag was a powerful symbol of hope, strength and resilience at one of the most trying moments in our nation's history," said Evan Greenberg, chairman and CEO of Chubb, at a ceremony on Sept. 8.
Chubb got involved when a claim was filed after the flag was initially lost.
"As we prepare again to pay tribute to those who were lost, this flag is a timely reminder of the spirit of our heroes and the resolve of a great city and great nation.
"Chubb is honored to donate the flag to its new, permanent and proper home in the 9/11 Memorial Museum," Greenberg added.
Flag on Yacht Caked in Debris
When the World Trade Center's twin towers came under attack, the flag was flying on the Star of America, a charter yacht docked nearby. The 130-foot-long, three-level boat with ivory-colored suede ceilings was owned by Shirley Dreifus and her late husband Spiros E. Kopelakis. It was insured by Chubb.

New York firefighter Dan McWilliams spotted the flag flying on the debris-caked yacht about 5 p.m. the day of the attacks, according to news stories published at the time. McWilliams removed the flag along with its pole from the deck, carried it toward West Street and with help from firefighters Billy Eisengrein and George Johnson, hoisted it.
While they have never met in person, the key players in the photo were linked again six month later when Dreifus and Kopelakis tracked down the three firefighters through a lawyer and asked them to sign affidavits stating that yes, they did remove their flag from their yacht.
The "New York Times" reported in March 2002 that Dreifus made the request as a legal formality that would allow her and her husband to donate the flag officially to the city, and perhaps claim a charitable deduction on their taxes.
The now-historic flag was invaluable. Chubb paid the full limit of the owners' rental insurance to cover the claim.
But, what no one knew at the time was that the wrong flag was recovered.
When Dreifus prepared to formally donate the flag, a size discrepancy was discovered: While the yacht's flag measured 4-by-6 feet, this flag was 5-by-8 feet. Dreifus started a website in an effort to get the historic flag back.
After the mystery was featured in an October 2014 episode of "Brad Meltzer's Lost History" on the History channel, a man who wished to remain anonymous turned over the true original flag to police in Everett, Wash.
Police contacted representatives involved in the documentary and together they began a forensic investigation that overwhelmingly determined that the flag was the Ground Zero Flag.
The story of the flag's recovery and journey back to New York was retold in a television movie, "Ground Zero Flag Found," which aired Sept. 11 on the History channel.
"We had always hoped this special flag and its story would be shared with our millions of annual visitors coming from around the world, and for that, we are thankful to Shirley Dreifus, the City of Everett, History, A&E Networks, and Chubb," 9/11 Memorial President Joe Daniels said in a statement.
"In the darkest hours of 9/11 when our country was at risk of losing all hope, the raising of this American flag by our first responders helped reaffirm that the nation would endure, would recover and rebuild, that we would always remember and honor all of those who lost their lives and risked their own to save others"

On Sept. 8, Chubb joined with the flag's original owner, Shirley Dreifus, and donated it to the National Sept. 11 Memorial & Museum in honor of Dreifus's late husband.
Representatives from Erich Courant & Co., the insurance brokerage which handled the renters insurance claim on behalf of the owners, were also at the ceremony with their client.
"Never in my life have I handled a claim of this cultural magnitude," said Howard Bergstein, Erich Courant's owner and president.
"The photograph of this flag being hoisted by firefighters caused this flag to become an iconic symbol of American patriotism and unity. We are at once thrilled to be a part of it and also hope never to be part of something so devastatingly tragic ever again."
It was "a once in a lifetime claim in terms of its cultural significance," he said.
"Have I ever had another claim where the client was paid the full amount of their coverage because the lost product was deemed to be invaluable?
"No, I never have been in that situation," he said, noting that "the notoriety, the excitement of the flag's recovery, the history, the sentiment,everything that has accompanied this claim has been extraordinary and I am hoping we never have to deal with something arising out of a tragedy again."
The museum where the flag is now on display honors the 2,983 people killed in the horrific attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 as well as the car bombing at the WTC on Feb. 26, 1993.
It displays more than 10,000 personal and monumental objects linked to the events of 9/11, while presenting intimate stories of loss, compassion, reckoning and recovery that are central to telling the story of the attacks and aftermath.
Chubb has played an ongoing role in the museum since conception. ACE, which merged with Chubb to form the current company, was a founding member of the 9/11 Museum & Memorial. Additionally, Chubb North America's general counsel, Kevin M. Rampe, sits on the 9/11 Memorial's board of directors.

While a single-payer health care model is up for debate in the U.S., the possible impact on workers' compensation could be significant.
By: York Risk | July 1, 2019
A single-payer health care system — one in which a country's health care costs are financed through taxes — has been embraced by countries like Canada, the UK, Australia and more. But in the U.S., the idea is still up for debate.
While there is no definitive solution yet, it's an important topic to keep in mind. Workers' compensation specifically could see a major industry-wide impact from a single-payer system, and starting that conversation now will help keep all the relevant stakeholders ahead of the curve.
"It's critical that we talk about it," said Thomas Warsop, chairman and CEO, York Risk.
Thomas Warsop, Chairman and CEO, York Risk
"It could certainly have a large impact on workers' compensation, depending on how a single-payer model is implemented. We would need to figure out the pros and the cons. All of us who support injured workers, employers, regulators and providers have an obligation to help think through policy, implications and required preparations."
Warsop, who has lived in a few of these countries with a single-payer model, including the UK, said that while he may not have a dog in the fight, he has a perspective on the benefits and pitfalls of a single-payer system.
Here are six ways a single-payer health care model could impact workers' comp, and why it's important for the industry to be prepared:
1. Medical Care Is Provided and Paid for Under a Single-Payer System, Regardless of the Genesis of the Need for Care
Today, there are millions of health care professionals across the U.S., with hundreds of payers and at least 52 sets of insurance regulations. Under a single-payer model, the payer would establish a standard for specific medical services and streamline the medical care portion of workers' comp.
"There are a few elements to workers' comp, and health care is clearly one of the main aspects," said Warsop. "If you have an injury, you obviously need a well-functioning health care system to help get that injury treated appropriately."
A single-payer model establishes a very specific cost-scale, equipping providers with a clear-cut fee schedule. The time spent on the medical bill review process would, theoretically, be reduced as well, making billing, payment and reconciliation much simpler.
This in turn allows providers to invest in providing great services and focusing on achieving better outcomes, because they know how much they will be paid.
"A single payer also makes the medical side more straightforward for the injured worker, because they won't have to worry as much about the determination of causality of an injury," said Warsop. "Simply put, less time and money would be required to administer medical benefits."
Employers, too, could see benefits. If their workers' injuries are covered under the single-payer system, the workers will be guaranteed the care they need without having to worry about which system, traditional health insurance or workers' compensation coverage, will pay for the medical treatment.
This approach may lead one to an obvious question: "If an employer has a reduced or less direct financial stake in the medical care of their injured workers, how will companies be held accountable for workplace incidents?"
As Warsop said, there are many elements to workers' comp. Health care — or the medical portion — is one. Lost time, lost wages, determination of the cause of injury and return-to-work are also critical elements of a workers' compensation claim, and employers will still need to be actively engaged in ensuring those benefits are delivered accurately and timely.
"And you would still have agencies like OSHA that are making sure employers provide a safe working environment and state regulators ensuring the timely and accurate delivery of benefits," Warsop added.
2. Indemnity Could Be Even More Complicated
If medical care and costs are covered under a single-payer model there's still the need to be thoughtful about the administration of all the other benefits available to an injured worker in the traditional workers' compensation model.
"Medical care may be simplified for injured workers, but companies and employers would still have to sort through the administration of the non-medical benefits. And if physicians and other medical professionals don't need to worry about 'who is covering the event' they may not spend much time, if any at all, thinking about is this a work-related incident," said Warsop.
The workers' comp industry is going to have to think creatively about the claims process and ensuring the right information is gathered early so that appropriate decisions around compensability and coverage are made early so as to provide for a great experience for all the stakeholders — injured workers, employers, etc.
3. There's a Reduction in Overhead
"Today there's a lot of effort and a lot of overhead that goes into determining whether an injury was sustained at work," said Warsop.
He continued, saying workers' comp professionals would have to work toward solutions that minimize the overhead from the non-health care portion of workers' comp — the indemnity side — in order to see the benefits of a single-payer model.
"We could analyze the way workers' comp gets paid, the way it gets administered," said Warsop. "What are the key items that drive inefficiency or slowness, or maybe even hinder having the very best outcomes for injured workers?"
From there, knowing the key differences could lead to a way to make the process more consistent between states, which each currently have their own set of workers' comp regulations.
"If state regulators are willing to look at the impact of a single-payer model, we could likely take a substantial amount of the overhead out of handling workers' comp, even the non-medical part."
4. Automation Is More Attainable
In health care, there is a vast amount of data collected for each patient and procedure. Add workers' comp into the mix and that data pool increases.
"One of the biggest challenges in automating is that dizzying array of different pieces of data required by different stakeholders," said Warsop.
A single-payer system could help, he said.
Taking payment questions out of the equation and centralizing data across health care, workers' comp would lend itself to a more streamlined decision-making process — one that can more easily be automated.
"If you have a single-payer system, it would allow us and everybody in our industry to think broader about how we automate. How we make jobs easier to get better outcomes faster for injured workers."
And once the data is in order, workers' comp could see a huge difference in how claims are managed.
"With consistency in data structures, the industry can streamline the process for handling a workers' comp claim. You can input the data about the cause of injury and know what the next steps will be, making the claims process easier from start to finish," Warsop said.
Increased efficiency has the benefit of reducing claims management costs as well, taking out a reasonable amount of the cost of handling a workers' compensation claim.
5. There's an Opportunity to Focus on Safety
Safety is at the heart of reducing workers' comp claims frequency, and companies and their risk management teams have been investing in workplace safety for decades, from adding additional training sessions to implementing new technologies like exoskeletons or ergonomic desks.
But "if you think about the potential efficiencies of a single-payer model, you could invest even more in safety and drive frequency down faster, continuing to make the working world a safer place for workers," said Warsop.
In that same vein, the nature of safety becomes a cyclical process: A safer workplace means less claims, less claims means less dollars spent, and less dollars spent means more available for future safety investment.
That's the long-term trend to work toward, said Warsop.
"The efficiencies you could get from the single-payer model might continue to allow you to make safety-oriented processes even more efficient."
6. Return to Work Can Apply to All Conditions, Not Just Workers' Comp
Under a single-payer model, no matter where or what the injury may be, a worker can receive the medical care they need to get back to work.
"The idea would be to view return-to-work programs as not solely under workers' comp but under health care at large," said Warsop. "Employers would be inclined to say 'I don't care whether you were hurt at work or not, your injury will still keep you out of work. Let's get that fixed.' "
Regardless of how a worker was injured, the emphasis under a single-payer model would be on getting the person back to work.
Warsop cautioned, however, that this approach could put an added financial strain on the health care system, but "at the end of the day, we all want what's best for our workers. We want to get people back to health and work no matter why they might be away from the job."
Being Proactive Is a Must in a Changing Landscape
Regardless if a single-payer system ever does come into effect, Warsop said, it's important that the industry has a seat at the table now and is part of the conversation. It has an opportunity to be engaged in and thinking about how these broader discussions of the nation's health system could impact workers' comp.
"Let's be proactive. Let's be part of the dialogue," he said. "Right now, the workers' comp industry tries to make as simple as possible a very complex set of interactions of regulation, of oversight, of risk bearers, of payers. We can help think through how to make it simpler."
York is dedicated to finding those very outcomes that get injured workers back on their feet and to work. A one-size-fits-all solution doesn't cut it, and the company works to stay current with the changing landscape.
"Under any model that exists, we're going to continue to do our very best job in getting great outcomes and getting injured workers back on the job and back to health," said Warsop.
Under a single-payer system, York is prepared to step up: "We would reallocate resources and expertise to areas where we can drive faster, better outcomes. At the end of the day, we're trying to get people back to work," said Warsop.
"That's the mission of our company after all. We reduce risk and get people and organizations back to health, work and productivity."

the fraser valley potters guild
Our province is full of talented craftspeople whose practice builds communities around craft-based art and impacts our culture and society. Starting this September, we are pleased to connect and collaborate with the Fraser Valley Potters Guild, whose members' work can now be found in the CCBC Shop & Gallery in Vancouver.
FVPG and CCBC Member, Amy Gogarty tells us more about the Guild below. We invite you to learn more about the FVPG and to come view their work, now featured in our shop.
The Fraser Valley Potters Guild (FVPG) was established in 1975 by a group of alumni of the Surrey Campus Ceramics Department of Douglas College. A non-profit association, the guild was formed to continue the camaraderie started in the college classes and to promote opportunities for professional growth and development. The Guild moved to its present location at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU), Surrey Campus, in the late 1980s. Today the Guild boasts close to 100 members from around the GVR, including pottery enthusiasts, ceramics and art teachers, professional ceramicists, students, and hobby potters. Members have shown their work nationally and internationally, and have included their work in public art commissions, community projects, and one-person shows.

Flowsheet
Jones+Attwood a History of its Beginnings
The origins of the firm can be traced back to a forge set up by John Jones in 1836 in Enville Street (adjacent to Crown Lane), Stourbridge, and penny farthing bicycles are known to have been one of the early products. These first premises later became Wallace' s-11arage and in more recent times were demolished to accommodate the present day Crown Shopping Centre. Walter Jones joined the business in 1862 and assumed full control at only 20 years of age-on the death of his father in 1866. Walter 1 s obviously inventive brain and enterprise were soon in evidence -initially in the field of hot water heating. The 11 Jones Improved Expansion Joint 11 for heating pipes and his 11Patent Pipe Cutter11 were two early products. The expansion joint replaced the hitherto caulked seal by rubber gaskets compressed inside a bolted housing. Sadly, the joint was never patented – an omission which undoubtedly cost the inventor a fortune and which appears to have taught him a valuable lesson for later in his career. A comprehensive range of heating equipment followed from pipe fittings to boilers and including early air heaters, all of which were designed and developed by Walter Jones.
Entrance into Sewage Treatment
The Company's involvement in sewage treatment began by manufacturing sewage distributors and went on subsequently to pioneer the commercial development of a new biological method of sewage treatment known as 11 activated sludge 11 • The system was destined to become THE accepted method for treatment of sewage and in 1919, Activated Sludge Ltd., 56o/o owned by Jones & Attwood, was formed to develop the process and market it Worldwide. The business was not without its problems in respect of patent infringement by others, notably in America. Litigation over the period 1920 to 1934 was fought against American cities who were utilising the process without permission, which eventually resulted in fines of almost $1 million on each of the leading offenders, Milwaukee and Chicago. However, settlement of the fmes was not concluded until 1947 by which time the residue after litigation expenses was only £18,850. Despite this small reward, the action had at least prevented further unauthorised use of the process – Walter Jones had certainly learned the benefit of patent protection. The firm became a limited company in 1910.
In 1935, during a visit to America, Ernest Jones negotiated an agreement signed in 1938 with the Chicago Pump Company for Jones & Attwood to manufacture the Comminutor, a disintegrating device used at the inlet to a sewage treatment works. The product partly satisfied the need for work for the Foundry but also extended the Companys growing interest in sewage treatment. Production started in 1939 and for the next forty years it became the Companys best selling product including exports to Japan and America. The subsequent move away from cast iron products in the heating industry, coupled with the addition of other products involved in primary treatment of sewage, saw the :Hydraulic (now known as the Effiueil.t Treatment Plant) Division established as the Company's core activity.

Simple tips to ensure your lawn is in perfect shape when spring finally arrives.
Winter can be a deadly time for lawns but experts have identified five techniques to ensure grass not only survives but thrives following the cold snap.
Experts at Gardeningexpress.com have counteracted the problem by creating a list of methods to help prompt and ultimately increase grass growth in the lead up to Spring.
Gardeners are being advised to kill any weeds or poor-looking grass at least two weeks before the growing process to ensure grass can grow without any interference from other plant species.
Cultivating the perfect lawn is surprisingly simple and only requires gardeners to complete a few simple but effective steps. Many people have perceptions that growing grass is extremely arduous and time consuming - this is simply not the case.
The key is in the preparation and the nurturing, making sure to continuously water the developing seeds is particularly important.
Gardeners should always use a hard-wearing family lawn mixture containing rye grass to achieve the best results possible.
Planting seeds at the correct time of year will enhance the speed of grass growth. Seeds are more likely to germinate at a faster rate when sowed in mid-spring. Keep the soil damp by regularly watering the grass and make sure all areas are thoroughly doused. Don't attempt to grow in summer because it's unlikely you will be able to give the lawn enough water to prevent it from dying.
It's more challenging for grass to grow on bumpy surfaces and will make your garden look uneven if left untreated. Grab that dusty rake out the garden shed and level out the area until it is all smooth. Firm the soil by walking over it by placing weight on your heels. We encourage gardeners to rake the surface once more after this process for good measure.
Spread a thin layer of lime, yes that fruit that you put in your cocktail, on the lawn 60 days before seeding. The magnesium in the lime will help the grass grow faster than a snail on steroids. Spread the seed carefully and then lightly rake over the area to cover the seed with a thin layer of dirt. Muddy soil is ideal because the seed will adhere to the dirt and be exposed to instant moisture.
After planting the seed, spread a thin layer of fertilizer across the surface. Proceed to cover the area with hay and lightly penetrate the soil to drive the seed into the ground. This will ensure that all the seeds germinate and will prevent you from having peculiar gaps in your lawn. Once grass begins to appear, fertilize the area again to maximise the yield.
When the grass is finally embracing daylight, stretch fruit netting over the top of it to protect the seeds from opportunistic birds. It is also worth cordoning off the area with string and canes to prevent the kids from trampling on the soil and damaging the grass. Carefully weed the area by hand and ensure you remove any weeds before they begin to flower.


Disclaimer and moment of candor. I had the hardest time with this review – not because something was wrong. Rather, there were not enough words to truly capture the fullness of this place. I struggled with the right words to capture the essence of my foodie reflections, until I noticed the staff sporting their new shirts which read "Legendary Soul Food" on the front and proudly displaying their James Beard honor on the back. Then it hit me. Legendary. That's it in one word. Therefore, I present to you, my recollection of the Legendary Bully's Experience.
The Restaurant: Bully's Soul Food is a family-owned restaurant with a small space, but larger than life reputation and name. If there's a nationwide list of best soul food restaurants, rest assured Bully's is in the top tier. Rightly so, this James Beard Award Winning Soul Food Restaurant is a staple in the community with a rich history of bringing people together over food.
The Atmosphere: There's something seriously nostalgic about this place. When you enter, you are greeted by a member of the Bully family with an intentional "welcome to Bully's". Now, this isn't your typical fast food type greeting where staff are mandated to yelp every time the door opens. This welcome is like the "welcome home" you might here after you've toured the big city and came back to visit grandma. This is the sort of welcome you get from an old friend you haven't seen in a while and long to reconnect with over a meal.
As you enter the small, but brilliantly designed dining area (more on that later), you are greeted by another member of Bully's team, where they may tell you "come on in, have a seat wherever you like, make yourself at home, we'll be with you in a minute". At that very moment, you aren't just in a restaurant ready for a meal. You are a part of a community, an extension of the Bully family, even.
Bully's has a few 2-4 top tables, but just a few. If you ask me, I think it is by design. If you stick around long enough during lunch, you will witness folks who don't know each other offer the next person a seat at their larger table, where they haven't occupied all of the seats. What happens next, is a foodie's fellowship haven. People who may have never met before dine together, converse, discuss current events, the greatness of the food, or their commonalities. Now that's something you just can't buy for the cost of a meal. Organic human connection over the best food? Priceless. The experience, alone, is food for the soul.
The Menu & Food: The menu is a simple, laminated, one-sided 8.5×11 sheet of paper which lists daily specials and every day offerings with sides and desserts listed in the right hand column. Now, what's on the menu is what matters. If you could take a teleport hop in time to visit your grandmother's after church on a summer's Sunday, that's the food you see. From smothered liver and onions to neck bones, turkey necks, catfish and pork chops, these menu offerings are legendary, indeed. The sides range from fresh greens to fried green tomatoes, yams, mac and cheese, and cabbage to name a few. The desserts? Any fruit cobbler you can think of, along with plenty pies and cakes, all in one spot. All, equally fantastic. In fact, there's nothing I've ever had at Bully's that didn't touch me to my core with goodness.
With your main entrée choice, you get two sides. On this day, I wanted three! I went with the smothered turkey necks, mac and cheese, mixed field greens, and yams with a homemade cornbread muffin and a sweet tea. Your meal is served to you on a rectangular, sectional tray reminiscent of my Jackson Public School District days. You're given a fork and cloth napkin. No knife, no need to worry. The food is so perfectly tender you won't need it. If you venture to use your fingers, no one judges you. I split my cornbread muffin between my greens and my yams and I cleaned my turkey necks to the bone, literally. Take a moment to reflect on this soul food goodness.
The Service: When you dine at Bully's they treat you like family. Ms. Jackie was my server. But every member of the team equally ensured everyone was well taken care of, no matter the table. She was stellar with her "you doing alright baby? Stay as long as you like" as she passed through to the kitchen. Stay – I did. I had to fully capture the Legendary Bully's Experience and contemplate if I had room for some cobbler, I didn't. What an experience, though. In fact, I think I'm long overdue for it again.

A few months ago, I read the book "They Both Die at the End" by author Adam Silvera.
As the title suggests, I obviously knew how the book would end before I even started reading. And I knew I was setting myself up to be emotionally distraught by the time I finished it.
Still, I read it. And, still, the whole time, I was illogically hoping, "Maybe the characters won't actually die!" But, just as predicted, when I read the final words of the book, there I was, sobbing.
And, of course, there's "This is Us." Anyone who watches the show has known for more than a year that the character Jack will die. We just didn't know how he died...until last Sunday.
Thanks to commercials and the previous episode's crock-pot cliffhanger, we all knew that this would be the episode where the cause of Jack's death would finally be revealed. Milo Ventimiglia, the actor who portrays Jack, even warned viewers before it aired: "It's just an absolute soul-crushing event."
It was no surprise. We all knew what we were getting ourselves into when we turned on NBC (or Hulu) to watch...not once but TWICE within three days! Yet, still, millions of us tuned in, knowing full-well that we were going to have our hearts broken. After I watched, I ended my night in my bath tub, pathetically crying into my glass of wine.
Why do we do this to ourselves?
Experts have found that watching/reading tragedies is actually good for your brain!
Dr. Paul Zak, director of the Center of Neuroeconomics Studies at Claremont Graduate University, said that, when we watch a sad film or read a tragic novel, we feel emphatic towards the characters, and, when that happens, our brains release the neurochemical oxytocin.
"My lab pioneered the behavioral study of oxytocin and has proven that when the brain synthesizes oxytocin, people are more trustworthy, generous, charitable, and compassionate. I have dubbed oxytocin the 'moral molecule,' and others call it the love hormone," he wrote.
"What we know is that oxytocin makes us more sensitive to social cues around us. In many situations, social cues motivate us to engage to help others, particularly if the other person seems to need our help."
And research shows that many people feel happier after crying. According to the New York Times, survey results reveal that approximately 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after shedding tears.
Clinical psychologist Kristin Wynns told Mashable, "Crying definitely serves an emotional purpose. It's a release from a buildup of feelings. ... There is something cathartic in having a 'good cry,' and physiologically crying releases stress hormones or toxins from the body. So it's good for us!"
So turn on that episode of "This is Us." Read books like "They Both Die at the End." Watch "Titanic" for the hundredth time. No, you're not a masochist! You're actually doing yourself a favor!
Why do we watch and read things that we know will make us cry?
A few months ago, I read the book "They Both Die at the End" by author Adam Silvera . As the title suggests, I obviously knew ...
Three days before the Super Bowl, when asked at a news conference if he would support his son "running some routes in the NFL," Justin Timberlake responded, "Uh, he will never play football. No, no."
Right after saying that, he seemed to realize, Dammit...I'm at an NFL-sponsored event. Probably shouldn't have said that about football! and he followed up by saying, "My main objective is that he become a great person. And, if he wants to get into the arts or sports, then yeah, I would fully support that."
Of course Timberlake's statement made waves among the football-loving community, some people angrily responding on Twitter, "And my son will never listen to Justin Timberlake."
I have to admit that I agree with JT's sentiments. I wouldn't want my figurative child to play football either (I apologize to my proud former-high-school-football-playing boyfriend, who probably cringed at this statement 😖).
It's not because I have anything against football or football players. It's because, if my own mom's protectiveness over me is any indication, I will probably be a pretty protective mom myself if I ever have kids. And, when research last year on 202 former football players (in the NFL, CFL, and even college and high school) found evidence of brain disease in almost 90 percent as a result of concussions — yeah, no thank you!
On Feb. 2, Emily Kelly, the wife of former New Orleans Saints player Rob Kelly, wrote a column for the New York Times, saying that football destroyed her husband's mind.
"Professional football is a brutal sport, (Rob) knew that. But he loved it anyway. ... What he didn't know was that, along with a battered body can come a battered mind," she wrote.
Emily met Rob in 2007, five years after his NFL career was over, and said, since she's known him, he's always had trouble sleeping and was prone to mood swings and depression. As time went on, it got worse — he lost his appetite and dwindled down to a gaunt 157 pounds (for a 6-foot-2 man). He would become agitated and paranoid, demonstrated obsessive compulsive behavior, and would ramble about things that didn't make sense.
In January 2013, Rob was awarded total and permanent disability benefits. "His benefits were listed as 'degenerative,' which establishes that his 'disability arises out of league football activities' and had manifested within 15 years of his last season," wrote Emily. "The examining clinician found that 'repeated concussion is very likely to have caused Mr. Kelly's neuropsychological dysfunction.'"
Upon joining a Facebook group of 2,400 women connected to former or current NFL players, Emily realized how common Rob's symptoms were - symptoms that were consistent with the degenerative brain disease chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
"Many of us, including me, are convinced our husbands suffer from the disease," said Emily. "I don't think the public has any idea how widespread this problem truly is. Rob and I hope that, in telling our story, we might help other families."
With stories such as Rob Kelly's coming out, Justin Timberlake isn't the only parent who, probably in an attempt to keep his child from going through what these NFL players have, doesn't want him playing football. CBS Sports reports that former President Barack Obama has also said, "I'm a big football fan, but I have to tell you, if I had a son, I'd have to think long and hard before I let him play football."
Even Joe Namath, Super Bowl legend and former New York Jets quarterback, has come forward to say he agrees with JT. In an interview with Fox, the 74-year-old said, "I have to agree with Justin. ... We've learned so much about brain trauma through the years. It's not just football, it's in everyday life. We need to find a way to help (those who suffer)."
For me, because of genetics and not because of head trauma (unless the doctor dropped me on my head as a baby and I didn't know about it), I have anxiety disorder and I have suffered from bouts of depression in my life. I know how horrible it is. And if playing a sport increases the likelihood of mental illnesses such as these and a brain disease that is even worse, then I have to say it's just not worth it!

Google Search Will No Longer Use Domains to Indicate Country Service
Matt Southern October 27, 2017
SEJ STAFF Matt SouthernLead News Writer at Search Engine Journal
Google search across desktop, mobile web, mobile apps, and Maps will no longer use country code top level domains (ccTLDs) to indicate where a user is searching from.
Historically, Google has indicated the country service being access through the use of domains such as Google.ca, Google.nz, Google.com.br, and so on.
Going forward the country service will automatically change based on location, without directing users to a different domain.
Manually typing in a ccTLD will no longer bring users to the corresponding country service. Instead, this is now managed directly in settings.
So it will still be possible to access the appropriate country service if it is not detected automatically.
If you're not sure which country service you are currently using, you will see it clearly indicated at the bottom of the screen.
Google notes that this change only affects the way its services are labeled. It in no way affects how the services work.
Google Search is now consistent with how Google manages its services across other platforms like YouTube and Gmail.

Heaviest rainfalls in weeks recorded across parts of New South Wales
By Ben Domensino • Weatherzone meterologist
4:00pm Jun 6, 2018
Rain has returned to parched areas of eastern New South Wales this week, with some places receiving their best falls so far this year during the last 24 hours.
After the seventh driest May on record in NSW, onshore winds feeding into a low pressure trough have caused a mild and showery start to winter in the state's east.
Check the weather forecast for tonight and the next six days here
The wettest parts of the state so far this month has been the exposed Hunter coast north of Newcastle, where Nelson Bay registered a whopping 219mm of rain during the six days ending at 9am today. This is well over the site's long-term monthly average of 156mm for June.
Nearby, Forster's running monthly total of 100mm by 9am today is only 13mm short of its June monthly average. This is also nearly as much rain as Forster received during April and May combined (111mm).

During the 24 hours to 9am on Wednesday, Yamba's 39mm was its heaviest daily total in eight months, while Bega (32mm) received its best fall since December. Elsewhere, Kiama (39mm), Sydney (33mm) and Gosford (45mm) all registered their best daily rainfall in three to four months.
The maritime winds during the past few days have replaced much drier and warmer westerlies that frequented eastern NSW during May.

Sydney's running average maximum temperature during the first five days of June was a near-normal 17 degrees.
This is five degrees cooler than the city's average maximum temperature during May, which was the city's fifth warmest on record for that month.
Sydney only reached 15C degrees yesterday and hit just 16C today, making it the city's coldest pair of days in a year.
Coastal NSW and parts of southern Australia are getting some heavy falls. Picture: Bureau of Meteorology (Supplied)
Meanwhile parts of southern Australia could see their best rain so far this year during the second half of this week.
A northwest cloud band drawing on moisture from the Indian Ocean will cause widespread rain across parts of South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and southern NSW between tomorrow and Saturday.
While northwest cloud bands like this one are typical at this time of year, they have been noticeably absent in recent months, and so has the rain they usually bring.
As of 9am today, a large area of South Australia, northern Victoria, western NSW and southwest Queensland received less than 20 per cent of its average annual rainfall so far during 2018.
Within this region, a number of places are having their driest start to a year in a decade or more, including Mildura (14 years), Renmark (14 years), Adelaide (13 years) and Ceduna (10 years).
Further north, Deniliquin's 43mm of rain so far during 2018 is its lowest running total to this point in a year since 1967, while Broken Hill's 12mm makes this it driest start to a year in more than a century of records.
The impending northwest cloud band is likely to bring widespread falls of 10-20mm across northern Victoria, southern inland NSW, northern and western Tasmania and the agricultural areas of SA. Some places are likely to see a bit more than this, particularly with thunderstorm activity.
While this rain will most certainly be welcome to parched soils, it won't be enough to entirely make up for the rainfall deficit from the last five months.
There are early signs that another rain-bearing system could sweep over the nation's south and southeast early next week, although it's too early to know how much rain this next system will being, and where.

Q: Vertica console not displaying graphs, logs indicate invalid authentication credentials Setup: 10-node cluster running Vertica 7.2.3 on Ubuntu 14.04
I'm running into a problem with our live Vertica management console regarding authentication. The graphs, etc. are not displaying, saying "unable to retrieve chart data", and I see tons of messages in the logs about "invalid username or password", e.g.

23 Jul 2018 11:29:01,599 [qtp757411119-120 - /webui/databases/1/chartdata/quick-stat-query-processing?cache_buster1532370541102] DatabaseConnectionPoolService WARN - ValidateConnection failed: Cannot create PoolableConnectionFactory ([Vertica]VJDBC FATAL: Invalid username or password), SQL State Code: 28000, Error Code: 3781

Initially I noticed that 4 of the 10 nodes were not showing properly in the console but ultimately that just required restarting the Vertica agent
I've ensured the SUPER dbadmin account credentials are correct and the database is otherwise ok. I'm considering trying a factory reset of the console but I'm wary of doing so since I've never done that.
Any thoughts on where the specific problem may lie?

Looks like I need to have 100 posts before I'm able to update the wiki. Do not know what the proper procedure is for cases like this so figured I would just post my findings.
I noticed two out of date links on Vespa Dealers Vespa Portland is linked to http://www.vespaportland.com/ rather than http://vespaportland.com/ and doesn't seem to resolve. Also Vespa Milwaukie doesn't seem to be in business any more as there site is just a weird 403 error.
If there is anything else I can do at this time please let me know.

Lo he probado de mil maneras y me sigue apareciendo este error. Por aqui os dejo la estructura de mis archivos:

Espero que alguien tenga la solucion. Un saludo y gracias por la ayuda.

A: Si llamaras a ./config/dbh.inc.php desde tu index.php la ruta estaría correcta. Si en cambio lo llamas desde upload/model.php la ruta debiera ser modificada a:
include_once('../config/dbh.inc.php)

Lo más sano siempre es usar una ruta absoluta:
include_once(__DIR__.'/../config/dbh.inc.php'); // desde model.php

o bien
include_once(__DIR__.'/config/dbh.inc.php'); // desde index.php

Time Crisis II. Namco (2001) PlayStation 2
Posted on November 24, 2016 by Van Rockingham — 4 Comments
I love me some Light Gun Games, and today is the 2 year anniversary of our most consistently popular article "Light Gun Games, why you need an old TV" as well as the first Time Crisis and it's sequel Time Crisis: Project Titan. So what better way to celebrate such a milestone than to play Time Crisis II, the arcade smash of 1998 in its home console conversion glory!
Being an on-rails light gun game, you can figure this one out. You point your uber manly plastic weapon at a CRT and make shooty noises. The differences with the Time Crisis series is that you can duck off screen. The primary purpose of this is to reload, but if you have the reflexes, it is also a "overpowered button of dodging the incoming bullets and non-death". It can be very satisfying when you see the bullets heading towards you, and being able to Matrix your way out of the way.
You have maybe 1/5th of a second to dodge this
The other key difference to Time Crisis II is that it supports linked play. If you happen to have a friend, who; has a CRT, a PS2, a light gun, and a copy of Time Crisis II you can relive the full arcade experience with two simultaneous players working together, on slightly branching paths.
There is local 2 player for the rest of us plebs that uses split screen, but those that have a very specific friend can have a lot more fun.
I mean why WOULDN'T you fight a black dude wielding a missile for a melee weapon?!
Like in Time Crisis it is easy to tell which enemies to prioritise. Dudes in red are the first target, then elite looking chaps. Or dudes with grenades/Rocket launchers. The standard blue guys can in theory shoot you, but you gotta be pretty hopeless to get hit by the fodder even on harder difficulties.
Gone is the combo system of Project Titan, but in its place is a nifty hit hit counter. If you shoot the same enemy multiple times, and shoot somebody else quickly you can rack up bonuses to your score. This isn't required for standard play, but does offer a nice distraction to score hunters. This mode also comes into its own when you unlock the submachine gun in one player two gun mode.
ONE PLAYER TWO GUN MODE!
Time Crisis II for the PS2 has a new mode lacking in arcades, and it is 2 guns one player. It is specifically designed for nerds like me to play on my lonesome, I mentioned how much fun it is to play a 2 player gun game on your own in Virtua Cop 1 and Virtua Cop 2. I tried in Crypt Killers, but that was too hard and both the Lethal Enforcer games are too broken to try it. To finally be given an "official" 1 player two gun mode was heaven for me.
The problem though, and it is a fairly big one. It murders your wrist trying it. Using the GCon2 you need to press the reload button underneath the guns handle. With one gun this is easy, as you can holster the gun, or use other hand.
Now. it is next to impossible to take a picture of yourself holding two light guns, so here is how you hold one gun in two gun mode. My pinky finger is completely wrapped underneath the gun. Repeating this on another gun, and for the 15-20 minutes it takes to do a run means you will be in some considerable pain after attempting it. The problem is caused by the fact you need to press reload on both guns to duck out and reload. If one gun was the master, and the other the slave it'd be fine. As it is, twenty minutes of the "claw" hand positioning is a little paralysing.
That isn't to say 2 gun mode isn't great, as it is a barrel of laughs, and totally worth playing. But it is a play once, come back in a few hours otherwise RSI will kick in type mode.
Again, this is an on-rails light gun game, so you have 3 stages split into 3 levels. You fight a boss on the final level of each stage, and each stage is very loosely connected by cutscenes.
Some of these cutscenes are unique to the PS2, and missing from the arcade version.
You play as either Keith Martin or Robert Baxter, V.S.S.E (Vital Situation, Swift Elimination International Intelligence Agency) agents tasked with recovering data on a weaponised satalite made by NeoDyne Industries, that your colleague Christie Ryan has managed to smuggle out. Your plans are thwarted when the evil people realise this, and kidnap Christie. You then RE-recover this information, and then set out to stop the evil people, and culminates with you destroying the satellite.
Don't expect Shakespeare, but the story isn't as bad as previous Time Crisis-s or Confidential Mission, which also had a weaponised satellite…
Mad Dog is such a badass, he brings kung-fu to a gun fight!
As Light Gun games go, Time Crisis II is almost a perfect example, a game like Resident Evil: Dead Aim is slightly superior because there is a fleshed-out story and game behind the mechanics, but for pure On-Rails experience, you are not going to do much better than Time Crisis II. This is on a par with Point Blank 1 and Point Blank 3.
Finally, if you stick with it and get all the unlocks, two gun mode with machine guns is the most fun you can have with a light gun game.
Pros: tonnes of extras and unlockables
Cons: at 20 minutes this is short even by Light Gun game standards, crippled wrists
The Arcade smash that is Time Crisis II was released to mostly positive reviews (81% Metacritic) in 2001, with particular praise for it's split screen play, as well as backwards compatibility with the PlayStations GCon45 Light Gun.

Loved this game. Think I still have my copy of the original with a GCon. Didn't know there was a 2 gun mode in the follow up!
Van Rockingham says:
2 gun mode is THE BEST!?
I remember doing Confidential Mission 2 gun style at the arcade once. Much harder than I expected!
I don't have 2 Dreamcast guns, so I couldn't try that at home

Modern engineering uses computer models. A model is a simplified representation of a real object or system that captures some limited aspect of it. For example, a CAD model captures its geometry, a simulation model its behavior, and so on. The most effective models combine a graphical representation, which humans can see and understand, with a digital representation, which computers can store and query.
Systems engineering is following this pattern. The basis of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is that the system can be captured in a single unified computer model. But unlike a solid CAD model, where the geometry it contains corresponds to the appearance of the real object, an MBSE model contains many disparate elements. The nodes in the multidimensional network, as shown in Figure 1 below, may be structural components, behaviors or requirements; the links between them represent composition, flow, or dependency.
In common for CAD and MBSE models is the concept of a single source of truth. A mechanical designer can create a top view or a side view or a front view of a component from the 3D solid model by "projecting" it on the appropriate axis, and know that all these views are automatically consistent. Similarly, a system engineer can generate requirements lists, block diagrams, flowcharts and other SE documents from an MBSE model and know them to be consistent. When the model is revised, a new set of documents/views can be generated with minimum effort.
SysML has become the standard graphical modeling language for creating MBSE models. Like schematics in the electrical engineering domain, it is a language both universal and precise. A schematic can be understood unambiguously by an electrical engineer anywhere in the world, because its graphical elements are so precisely defined that they are computer-interpretable. SysML is reaching this same status. Multiple software vendors provide computer programs to build and visualize SysML models.
But SysML is only part of the story. Each node in the SysML model in Figure 1 can be thought of as connected to another model in another software tool: a structural element to a CAD model, a behavior element to a simulation model, and so forth. Our Total System Model (TSM) encompasses all these models and tools, and the connections between them, as shown in Figure 2. The TSM strategy is to use the SysML model as a high-level roadmap of the system and a clearinghouse for critical system-level information. But each element in the SysML model can be connected to other models and tools, where most of the engineering work is done and most of the detailed system information is stored.
One challenge in achieving this vision is that everything is constantly changing. It is here that the interconnection between SysML and PLM / ALM / Database model management strategies becomes critical and make systems engineering an important new user base for traditional enterprise data management systems.
With Syndeia, system engineers can develop and manage the high-level architecture of a system/product in SysML and simultaneously connect, generate, communicate, and sync with detailed requirements, parts (bill of materials and CAD), simulation models (MATLAB/Simulink, Mathematica, CAE) and complex data structures that are version managed and configuration controlled in enterprise-strength PLM systems (such as Teamcenter and Windchill) and object-oriented / relational databases (such as MySQL).
Most importantly, organizations can do this without abandoning their existing engineering software, or limiting their ability to connect with the software of their partners, suppliers or customers. Effective TSM strategies can focus on specific high-value use cases, adopted incrementally to achieve the highest near-term ROI. Syndeia offers a practical way forward to groups already practicing MBSE and those new to the field.

Q: Delphi generics: How to spec "class that references its own type" In Delphi XE2, I want to write a generic collection class which manipulates objects which must have a Copy(owntype) method, but I can't figure out how best to declare this.
I want something like this example (a collection of one item, for simplicity):
//------ Library ------
Type
  TBaseCopyable = class
    S: string;
//    procedure Copy(OtherObject: TBaseCopyable); overload;
    procedure Copy(OtherObject: TBaseCopyable); virtual;
  end;

  MyCollection<T: TBaseCopyable, constructor> = class
    TheItem: T;
    procedure SetItem(AItem: T);
    function  GetItem: T;
  end;

[...]

function MyCollection<T>.GetItem: T;
Var
  NewItem: T;
begin
  NewItem := T.Create;
  NewItem.Copy(TheItem);
  Result := NewItem;
end;

//------ Usage ------
Type
  TMyCopyable = class(TBaseCopyable)
    I: integer;
//  procedure Copy(OtherObject: TMyCopyable); overload;
    procedure Copy(OtherObject: TMyCopyable); override;
  end;

[...]
  Col: MyCollection<TMyCopyable>;

The key problem is that in Col, I need the generic implementation of MyCollection to find TMyCopyable.Copy. Unsurprisingly, neither overload or virtual do the job:

*

*With overload, the code compiles, but MyCollection.GetItem finds
TBaseCopyable.Copy, not TMyCopyable.Copy.

*With virtual/override this
doesn't compile because the signatures of the two Copy declarations
don't match.

So I figure I need to use generics somehow in the specification of TBaseCopyable, possibly instead of inheritance. But I'm not sure how, primarily because I don't particularly need  to feed a type parameter into TBaseCopyable, I just need the Copy argument type to refer to "the type of it's own class" in a generic way.
Ideas? Thanks!

A: Turn TBaseCopyable into a Generic class and apply its Generic type to Copy(), then TMyCopyable can override it, eg:
type
  TBaseCopyable<T> = class
    S: string;
    procedure Copy(OtherObject: T); virtual;
  end;

  MyCollection<T: TBaseCopyable<T>, constructor> = class
    TheItem: T;
    procedure SetItem(AItem: T);
    function  GetItem: T;
  end;

type
  TMyCopyable = class(TBaseCopyable<TMyCopyable>)
    I: integer;
    procedure Copy(OtherObject: TMyCopyable); override;
  end;

Alternatively, just do the same thing that TPersistent.Assign() does (since it does not use Generics):
type
  TBaseCopyable = class
    S: string;
    procedure Copy(OtherObject: TBaseCopyable); virtual;
  end;

  MyCollection<T: TBaseCopyable, constructor> = class
    TheItem: T;
    procedure SetItem(AItem: T);
    function  GetItem: T;
  end;

type
  TMyCopyable = class(TBaseCopyable)
    I: integer;
    procedure Copy(OtherObject: TBaseCopyable); override;
  end;

procedure TMyCopyable.Copy(OtherObject: TBaseCopyable);
begin
  inherited;
  if OtherObject is TMyCopyable then
    I := TMyCopyable(OtherObject).I;
end;

A: Answering my own question, or at least summarizing findings:
So far as I can tell, there is no complete answer to the question as I posed it. What I have learned is this:
[1] Remy's solution is the way to go if the base item class (here TBaseCopyable) has no state, and either is abstract, or methods don't need to refer to other objects of the same type. (Eg: TBaseCopyable would have no fields and only abstract methods.)
[2] A significant issue is how to specify a generic class whose descendant classes can specify method arguments and return values of the same type as their enclosing class.  In Remy's example, that is accomplished in the descendant class declaration:

      TMyCopyable = class(TBaseCopyable<TMyCopyable>)

This means that in the generic class, T will be replaced by the ultimate class of interest.
[3] However, within TBaseCopyable's generic declaration, the information that T is always a TBaseCopyable is not available, so in TBaseCopyable's implementation, references to objects of type T won't be able to see TBaseCopyable's methods or fields.
This would be solved if we could set a constraint on T to tell the compiler that T is a TBaseCopyable.
That's apparently the approach in C#:
 http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ericlippert/archive/2011/02/03/curiouser-and-curiouser.aspx
In Delphi, I think that would go like this:

  type
    TBaseCopyable<T: TBaseCopyable<T> > = class
    ...

like Remy shows for MyCollection. However, that syntax is not legal within the same class declaration (error: undeclared identifier TBaseCopyable), because TBaseCopyable is not yet fully defined. We might think to create a forward declaration for TBaseCopyable (like we would for non-generic classes), but that throws an error, and apparently it's not supported by the compiler:

*

*How to set a forward declaration with generic types under Delphi 2010?

*E2086 error with forward declaration of a generic type http://qc.embarcadero.com/wc/qcmain.aspx?d=94044
[4] Maybe the generic class could inherit the implementation?
What if we did this:

  type
    TBaseCopyable<T> = class(TBaseCopyableImpl) ...

That would allow TBaseCopyable to have some fields and methods that could refer to each other. However, even if those methods were virtual, they would impose fixed argument/return types on the descendants, the avoidance of which was the rationale for using generics in the first place.
So this strategy is only good for fields and methods that don't need to specialize in the descendant types... for example an object counter.
Conclusions
This question turns out to concern the somewhat-known "Curiously recurring template pattern": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curiously_recurring_template_pattern. Even though it seems what one is trying to accomplish is simple, there are theoretical problems behind the scenes.
The situation appears to call for a language keyword meaning something like "Same type as my enclosing class". However that apparently leads to covariance/contravariance issues -- violations of the rules of which types can substitute for which in inheritance hierachies.  That said, it seems Delphi doesn't go as far as C# to permit as much of a partial solution.
Of course, I'd be happy to learn that there is a way to go further!
Oh, and I don't feel too bad struggling to get to the bottom of this -- even Ken Arnold thinks it's difficult: https://weblogs.java.net/blog/arnold/archive/2005/06/generics_consid.html#comment-828994
