Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN esports stars competing on all fronts
Philip Federico May 5, 2020 No Comments
Hinwil, 4 May 2020 – Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN unleashed an unprecedented amount of star power on the weekend's esports competitions, with top drivers competing in the Formula One Virtual Grand Prix, the Esports Pro Exhibition race and the Veloce Not the GP Series.
Formula One racer Antonio Giovinazzi, F2 podium finisher Juan Manuel Correa, Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and esports specialists Daniel Bereznay and Bardia Boroumand flew the team's colours with pride, bringing home a best result of P4 (Bereznay, Pro Exhibition race) on a weekend that should have rewarded the team's efforts with more.
Antonio saw another set of good results vanish due to technical problems, with the network connection failing him on the grid of the first Not the GP series and when fighting for the lead in the second; his luck was not better on Sunday, in the F1 Virtual Grand Prix, when he was forced to leave the race while in the top positions, with a possible podium finish on the cards. It was a disappointing end to a strong weekend for the Italian, who is gaining confidence and pace in his esports efforts, and who would have deserved more.
His team-mates in the two events, Thibaut and Juan Manuel, were left to uphold the team's honour and did so in professional fashion. The Belgian shot-stopper showed his hands are equally at ease on a steering wheel as they are in his gloves, claiming two top-ten finishes on Saturday; while Correa battled his way to P14 on Sunday, after a race-long battle with rally and rallycross legend, Petter Solberg.
In the Pro Exhibition race, poleman Bereznay, clearly the fastest man on track in the dry, had his race compromised by a technical glitch at the start but was able to recover to finish in fourth, ahead of debutant Bardia Boroumand, a creditable P8 in his first appearance for the team.
The team will return to action next weekend for the Virtual Spanish Grand Prix, the Pro Exhibition race and the Not the GP series.
Antonio Giovinazzi (DNS/DNF, Not the GP; DNF, Virtual GP): "It's extremely disappointing to have another weekend ruined by technical issues. Both on Saturday and on Sunday, I felt I was on for some really positive results, but in the end we had them taken away from us. It's a shame, as a team we practiced so much but it was all in vain."
Juan Manuel Correa (P14, Virtual GP): "It was a really fun race, with battles from the beginning to the end. I had a really good start and made up some places at the start: I was running as high as P9. After the stops, I just tried to maintain my pace but I had some really interesting battles, in particular with Petter Solberg. We kept finding each other on track and in the end it got a bit heated, but it was a cool fight. I feel I am getting more and more comfortable with this platform the more I practice on it, but the guys at the front are incredibly quick so I need to keep working hard."
Thibaut Courtois (P6/P10, Not the GP): "I really enjoyed my races this weekend. I had a very good first race with P6, after spending most of the event in fourth. The second race was harder because of the reversed grid, and being hit and getting wing damage on the first corner didn't help. I still managed to go from P17 to P10 and I was just behind two more cars. It was a really nice experience and I was proud to be racing for Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN."
Daniel Bereznay (P4, Pro Exhibition race): "I was really happy with my raw pace, which I was able to show in qualifying. I got pole by more than a tenth, which is a huge gap in such a field, on a short track and in the dry. I had a few issues at the start which cost me two places, and in the rain it was really hard to make up lost ground. My pit stop was a bit slow, so in the end I finished in P4. It is frustrating, given how quick we were, but I know I couldn't have done anything better today".
Bardia Boroumand (P8, Pro Exhibition race): "Racing at this level was insane, it was a great experience and I am grateful for this opportunity the team gave me. I feel I could have been higher up in qualifying, but I was blocked in my fastest lap and that cost me a tenth. In such a competitive field, that makes a big difference. The race was quite good, although it was very hard to overtake in the rain. I chose a good strategy and pitted at the right time. I made up places until I was P6, but I sustained some damage passing a car that was still on wet tyres and in the end that cost me two places. I am not really happy with my end result, but that's all experience that will make me stronger for the next races."

As the Knights of Columbus are having their annual Supreme Convention, with some 2,500 Knights and family members gathered at the Baltimore Convention Center, Pope Francis has sent his greetings and well-wishes to participants in the event.
This is the 136th convention, and is dedicated to the theme: Knights of Columbus: Knights of Charity.
Why are the Knights of Columbus named after a controversial explorer and not a saint?
"It was the inseparable bond of faith and charity that led Venerable Father Michael McGivney and the first Knights to establish a fraternal society committed to the Christian formation and mutual support of its members," the pontiff noted.

Naturzeichenzeichnen – Drawing the Symbols of Nature
Jul 04 – Sep 13, 2015
Curator: Janos Frecot
The Alfred Ehrhardt Stiftung has given guest-curator Janos Frecot carte blanche to present an exhibition on the theme of »Nature« that reflects his particular vision of photography. The exhibition is also his personal gesture of thanks to all those artists whose careers have run parallel to his own and who have became his friends. Many of the works are from his own private collection.
The title NATURZEICHENZEICHNEN is a word-play based on the word for »signs« and »symbols« and the word for »drawing«. Here Janos Frecot is referring to both the images of Nature themselves and to our recording and re-interpretation of their ever-changing forms. There was a time when one never set out to document one's surroundings without taking a pencil, a drawing-block and a paint box. Today we take a camera – analogue or digital – and use it in the same way as the pencil to record our world or to generate the image that we have made of it. Expressed in simple terms, this step from recording the world, to encompassing its fragile uniqueness can be summed up as the difference between image and reality.
The photographers in the exhibition come from a variety of times, places, vocations and areas of activity. Each shows us their vision of Nature in the visual language that they have evolved to present their view of the world and people and things. Most of the artists are something more than just photographers. Fritz Brill, a student of Johannes Itten, became a highly professional experimenter in the fields of photography and film through his intensive training as painter and graphic artist. He worked together with Hedwig Bornemann, his wife and steady hand. The author Arno Schmidt has produced not only grandiose word-pictures, ranging from lyricism to the grotesque, but also pictures of Nature. Their beauty bears witness to the same empathy and command of form as his writing. The pictures of Rainer König and Amin El Dib present the architect as constructor of our world; a similar impulse can be found in the work of Heidi Specker: her interiors resemble sepulchres where the signs and symbols of Nature are displayed to perfection. Dieter Appelt and Gabriele Kostas were professional musicians before they began to develop their conceptually-adjusted vision of the world. With Appelt it is the rhythm of the surface, with Kostas the organisation of movement in space and time. Hanns Zischler is the most versatile of all: not only photographer but also actor, author and publisher.His pin-hole images are dramatic presentations of time, light and colour.
Then there are the works of the pure photographers: Michael Schmidt, who died last year, is one of the most important photographic artists of our time. His work celebrates the precision of the colour grey – the »silverpoint of photography« – in all its resonant splendour. This also applies to the beautiful and little-known pictures by Hans W. Mende of his North German homeland, and to the light pear-fruit-and-leaves photogram by Floris M. Neusüss.
In her Horses-series Jitka Hanzlová pursues what made her Forest so fascinating: the pictorial design with its refined placement of the image within the frame and the exquisite colouring. The blossom images of Loredana Nemes are less concerned with their theme as such, than with their musically-intensified pictorial surface. Nanne Meyer's ornithological notes extend the scope of the exhibition to include the fantastic world of her new delineations of existing materials.
Fifteen different temperaments, fourteen different ways of grappling with the ephemeral appearance of Nature – an open and boundless field of enterprise! (Text: Janos Frecot)
From 1978 to 2002 Janos Frecot was the director of the photographic collection of the Berlinische Galerie. In 1980, and on his recommendation, the collection was incorporated into what is now the Landesmuseum für Moderne Kunst where, for the next 20 years, he was active in collecting, exhibiting and publishing. He has also published over 40 books on Berlin-related subjects as well as studies on Erich Salomon, Martha Astfalck-Viez, Herbert Tobias, Arno Schmidt and Gisèle Freund. The Büchersammlung Frecot – the Frecot Collection of Books – that includes many unique items relating to the »back-to-nature« Lebensreform movement, was acquired by the Stanford University Libraries. In 2013, his exhibition Die Jahre mit der Kamera – the Years with the Camera – showed that he too is a visionary photographer; the urban and architectural images that he made between 1964 and 1967 anticipated much of what made the following generation of photographers so famous. Pictures of Nature have always been Frecot's ruling passion and the traces of this passion can often to be seen in his work as a curator.

From November through December broadcast advertising is filled with some great, short story telling. It's hard to remember every ad you see, but why do some ads stick with viewers and others don't?
This ad isn't about one product, but the brand, and how everything they produce can be connected from hardware to software. However, that's not what's most important to the viewer.
An impression is left because of the sentiment. It's all about the power of being connected to people from the past through today's technology (which Apple happens to provide). Any viewer can relate to this sentiment. In the digital world, people are constantly creating photo albums and posting "throwback" photos to be reminded of happier times in their lives.
Through Apple's story, consumers are reminded of the way technology has enhanced this connection with the people they care about. The goal of any effective holiday campaign is bringing people together with the product that's being promoted.
Telling a story this way doesn't work for every brand, or product, especially when relying on product placement to carry the narrative. When you do find the way to pull your consumers closer together with your product on a personal level, you'll leave an indelible impression.

Before taking up my current post in Sheffield in 2008, I worked in Prof Tony Turner's lab at the University of Leeds, where I was involved in the first functional analysis of angiotensin converting enzyme 2, now known to be a key regulator of blood pressure and connective tissue homeostasis. Since joining Sheffield I have applied my experience of protease research to develop a research programme examining mechanisms of cell:cell communication in cancer and other diseases.
We are interested in how the cells and other factors surrounding a tumour (the 'tumour microenvironment') affect cancer development and spread. In particular we examine how molecules termed non-coding RNA influence this communication, and what roles extracellular vesicles may play in this. We are using this information to find new drug targets to improve survival. We are also interested in how non-coding RNA influence the ways in which human cells respond to bacteria, with the aim of understanding how this may be involved in the development of disease.
Non-coding RNA (which do not encode proteins) make up a significant proportion of the RNA in a cell, but their functions are still enigmatic. MicroRNA, perhaps the best understood non-coding RNA, are small RNA which regulate the expression of target genes by binding to complementary sequences in their transcripts. Changes in the levels of a number of microRNA have been detected in a variety of cancers, and understanding is growing of their role in the tumour microenvironment. We study how miRNA in both cancer cells and cells of the tumour microenvironment change during the development and spread of cancer, how they influence disease progression, and how they may be used clinically. We are also studying whether other non-coding RNA, such as long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) play a role in regulating tumour:microenvironmental interactions. We are exploring the importance of extracellular vesicles as vehicles by which non-coding RNA and other cargo may transfer between cells in the tumour microenvironment.
The tumour microenvironment is host to a wealth of small peptides and proteins, generated locally or elsewhere in the body and introduced from the circulation. These peptides may be further modified by proteolytic enzymes in the microenvironment and often bind to receptors on the surface of a variety of cell types, influencing tumour growth and spread. We are investigating these interactions with the aim of developing novel targets for drug treatments.
Chronic periodontitis, an inflammatory disease leading to tooth loss, affects over 300 million people worldwide and is a significant healthcare burden particularly in the older population. Although not a classical infectious disease, the role of bacteria in causing periodontitis is unequivocal with several bacterial species such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia being implicated as causative agents. The virulence of periodontal pathogens is attributed not only to bacterial factors that directly damage tissue but also to their ability to dysregulate the host immune response. We are currently investigating the ability of periodontal pathogens to modulate the immune response by altering the expression of specific microRNA and other non-coding RNA, which in turn influence the expression of components of the innate immune response.
I also regularly supervise students carrying out research projects as part of B Med Sci intercalated degrees. Many of these students have won prizes in national competitions.

Editorial: Killing jobs in South Carolina
OpinionEditorials
By The Denver Post | newsroom@denverpost.com
April 29, 2011 at 12:53 p.m.
With the economy still limping, and President Obama promising to create jobs, why on earth are his appointees killing jobs in South Carolina?
A common refrain among recession-weary Americans is that we don't make anything in this country anymore. However, workers in South Carolina have a chance to make something — Boeing 787 Dreamliners that would be flown around the world — and yet Obama's labor-cozy appointees to the National Labor Relations Board are intent on scuttling it.
Boeing, a vital U.S. company, wants to build a plant in South Carolina and bring good-paying manufacturing jobs to the state. They've already poured billions into the facilities and have hired 1,000 workers. But the NLRB filed a lawsuit last month to force Boeing back to Washington state, where workers would be represented by a union. The NLRB claims Boeing decided to open a non-union plant in South Carolina in retaliation for past strikes in Washington.
So what if it did?
The NLRB's action is beyond unsettling. The lawsuit, in effect, is an effort to tell an American company how to operate its business and to intimidate its officers.
Union workers most certainly have the right to strike, but as an editorial in the Detroit News — a city that knows plenty about manufacturing and unions — pointed out, "they don't have a right to escape the consequences of striking, which is that an employer may be persuaded to open up shop elsewhere, including in right-to-work states such as South Carolina."
Boeing maintains that building a new plant in South Carolina creates additional capacity and that jobs won't be lost in Washington state.
That's good for Washington, but again, what if jobs were actually being lost there? Shouldn't Boeing be allowed to build a plant where it sees fit, assuming the state welcomes it with open arms, as South Carolina has?
In a recent op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley wrote: "In choosing to manufacture in my state, Boeing was exercising its right as a free enterprise in a free nation to conduct business wherever it believed would best serve both the bottom line and the employees of its company. This is not a novel or complicated idea. It's called capitalism.
". . . The company chose to come to our state because the cost of doing business is low, our job training and work force are strong, and our ports are tremendous. . . . The actions by the NLRB . . . are also an unprecedented attack on an iconic American company that is being told by the federal government — which seems to regard its authority as endless — where and how to build airplanes."
President Obama, who has been silent on this issue, needs to tell his appointees to the NLRB that this type of intimidation is unacceptable. If he doesn't, it's only a matter of time until it spreads to other parts of the country.

Such methods do not allow for the early detection of HPV-associated HNSCC and most cases are at an advanced stage upon diagnosis. Novel noninvasive approaches using oral fluid, a clinically relevant biological fluid, allow for the detection of HPV and cellular alterations in infected cells, which may aid in the early detection and HPV-typing of HNSCC tumors. Noninvasive diagnostic methods will enable early detection and intervention, leading to a significant reduction in mortality and morbidity associated with HNSCC.

FrontlineSMS User Meet-up in Haiti: The First of Many Global Meet-Ups!
It is well known that "the whole is more than the sum of its parts," and this was certainly shown by recent FrontlineSMS user meet-up in Haiti. The meet-up started as three people interested in learning about FrontlineSMS and grew to be a meeting of nearly 20 people, all of whom are involved in social change projects in Haiti and are either actively using or interested in using FrontlineSMS. This meet-up was organized by FrontlineSMS Hero Tom Marentette, who reports on the event below. This will hopefully be the first of many FrontlineSMS organized user meet-ups across the world. If you would like to arrange a FrontlineSMS meet-up in your local area please indicate your interest in this new Meet-Ups Group on our FrontlineSMS user forum!
Recently, while working in Haiti on the Notre Dame Haiti Program, I had an opportunity to meet some amazing folks doing great things in aid and development to assist Haitian communities. This group also shared a common interest in the application of FrontlineSMS in their respective work. It's quite an interesting story on how this meeting came together and the resulting benefits.
This all started when I found I'd be travelling to Haiti, and two individuals I met on a TechChange course on Mobiles for Development were already working in the country. We therefore decided to have an informal lunch meeting to discuss mobile tech and more specifically, FrontlineSMS. Our group moderator on the TechChange course, Flo Scialom (FrontlineSMS Community Support Coordinator), offered to help pull members of the FrontlineSMS community together for the meeting.
Each day, as we criss-crossed Port-au-Prince and Leogane with meetings at various ISP's and Mobile Network Operators, I'd get an email from Flo, "Tom, do you have room for one more?", "Do you have space for another?"...etc...So what started with three or four for lunch, turned into 17 individuals, representing five continents and eight countries - and a full blown FrontlineSMS user group luncheon at the Babako Restaurant in Port-au-Prince. We had organizations at the table representing public health, microfinance, sexual violence, IDP camp resettlements, human rights abuses, education, and others. It really was inspiring to look around that table and realize how many people in Haiti were benefiting from the work of these individuals and their organizations. A true force multiplier!
After some not-so-brief introductions (remember we had 17), we discussed issues around getting started with the software. This included everything from modem hardware compatibility, to running FrontlineSMS on MacOS, and managing incoming/ outgoing SMS. We also covered local resources within Digicel in Port-au-Prince, that can prove helpful in choosing the right modem, and supporting any possible setup issues. Of those at lunch, there were a couple of groups that had FrontlineSMS instances up and running, and others were interested in using it in their respective work, including us with the Notre Dame Haiti Program.
Next, the talk revolved around other mobile and open-source tools in the development space, such as RapidSMS, Ushahidi, OpenMRS and more. So this group was not so much about a single software application, but more about affecting change with any technology - a community of practice around the way technology can impact development and social change.
Finally, as we finished lunch (and by the way the food at Babako was as delicious as the conversation), we talked about the importance of working together, sharing our successes and failures, and staying in touch. The big win was looking around the table and realizing that as diverse as our needs and applications are we all shared a common purpose, enthusiasm and a collective knowledge, to affect positive change with mobile technology.
Thanks so much to Tom for his amazing work and enthusiasm in organizing this meet-up! o/ To organize a FrontlineSMS meet-up and / or connect with others using FrontlineSMS in your local area please join the new Meet-Ups Group on the FrontlineSMS forum.


Eastern wolf (C. l. lycaon) is relatively small, with males weighing on average 67 pounds and females 53 pounds. They have longer ears and a narrower snout. They tend to be mottled gray.
Great Plains wolf (C. l. nubilus) is much larger, with males weighing on average 100 pounds. They have shorter ears and a broader snout. They can vary from black to white, though most are gray.
Great Lakes boreal wolf (C. l. lycaon x C. l. nubilus) mostly has intermediate traits, grading form more C. l. lycaon-like in the east to more C. l. nubilus-like in the west.
Mostly white-tailed deer, but also beaver, other mammals, and wild fruits.
Sources: 7, 15, 29, 76.
In 1966, Congress passed the Endangered Species Preservation Act. A year later the gray wolf was classified as endangered. At that time only a few hundred remained in extreme northeastern Minnesota and a small number on Isle Royale, Michigan. In 1978, it was classified as threatened in Minnesota only. Due to a significant increase in their numbers and their range, it was reclassified as special concern in 1996, delisted federally in 2012, and delisted in Minnesota in 2013. The delisting was controversial and in 2014 it was relisted in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
Debate continues about whether there are different species of gray wolves in the world. In 2000, Wilson et al proposed designating the eastern wolf as a separate species, Canis lycaon. This proposal was not widely adopted.
Eastern (timber) wolf (C. l. lycaon) was originally found in the northeastern corner of the state. Great Plains wolf (C. l. nubilus) was originally found in the western counties, with hybrids occurring between the two. The dispersal ranges of the two subspecies overlap considerably and much hybridization occurs. The original genetic purity of the eastern and western population remains unknown. While is likely that genetically pure populations occur at the ends of the respective Minnesota ranges, the current Minnesota population consists mostly of hybrids of the two subspecies, known informally as Great Lakes boreal wolf, with more C. l. nubilus traits in the west and more C. l. lycaon traits in the east.

This is a Gray Wolf named Sheriff from the Minnesota Wildlife Connection. He was brought in to be photographed at the Spring Break event held by the Twin Cities Area Counsel of Camera Clubs.
The Gray Wolf (Canis lupus; also spelled Grey Wolf, see spelling differences; also known as Timber Wolf or Wolf) is a mammal in the order Carnivora. The Gray Wolf shares a common ancestry with the domestic dog (Canis lupus familiaris), as evidenced by DNA sequencing and genetic drift studies. Gray wolves were once abundant and distributed over much of North America, Eurasia, and the Middle East. Today, for a variety of human-related reasons, including widespread habitat destruction and excessive hunting, wolves inhabit only a very limited portion of their former range. Though listed as a species of least concern for extinction worldwide, for some regions including the Continental United States, the species is listed as endangered or threatened.
IF U LOVE WOLVES PLZ ENJOY IT!! SAVE THEM!!
There were four adorable woulf pups, just one week old. The entire pack works together to care for those young pups.
In the Valley of the Wolves, an amazing wolf documentary for kids, you'll learn how the successful reintroduction of Yellowstone's apex predator has changed the entire ecosystem of the park, and about the threats that wolves continue to face on their road to recovery.
The following year, a second wave of gray wolves was brought to the park from British Columbia, Canada; five of them were released together, and they were named the Druid Peak pack. Since the arrival of those first immigrants, wolves have thrived in Yellowstone - and none more dramatically than the Druids.
The epic history of the Druids, one of more than a dozen packs now occupying the 2.2 million acres of Yellowstone, is being presented in this grey wolf documentary full (NATURE's In the Valley of the Wolves), was produced and shot in High Definition by Emmy-award winning filmmaker Bob Landis.
The grey wolf or gray wolf (Canis lupus), also known as the timber wolf or simply wolf, is a mammal of the order Carnivora. It is the ancestor of the domestic dog. A recent study found that the domestic dog is descended from wolves tamed less than 16,300 years ago south of the Yangtze River in China.
Wolves live in groups called "packs". The members of the pack are usually family members, often just the parents and offspring.
Grey or gray wolves that are not family may join if they do not have a pack of their own. Packs are usually up to 12 wolves, but they can be as small as two or as large as 25. The leaders are called the alpha male and the alpha female. Their territory is marked by scent and howling; they will fight any intruders. Young wolves are called 'pups' or 'whelps'. Adult females usually give birth to five or six pups in a litter.
A few years ago some gray wolves were put back into Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to breed, because they were becoming endangered. The wolves have been very successful in the park.
There had been no wolves there for a long time, because of hunting and poisoned water. Many people were not happy about this because they were afraid that the wolves would eat the sheep and cows near the park. However, wolves only eat livestock when they can not find wild prey.

Published on 17 August 2008.
After quite a journey together, we've arrived at week seven of the Summer Books series. I hope, dear reader, that you'll think us close enough by now to share some guilty secrets.
If not, then who can blame you? After all, the largely monological way in which I'm bestowing my opinions upon you can hardly breed intimacy, but I'm afraid the boil of this review needs to be lanced at some point, and now seems as good a time as any.
You see, the thing is, I've never read a Michael Crichton. Jurassic Park, Prey, The Terminal Man, Next Sphere, these are all just names to me, or in the case of the first, a blockbuster movie. I've never read the original text of any of them, and nor I am sure I have the desire to do so.
However, with Michael Crichton described as one of the greatest and most thoroughly researched writers of our time, I thought I should step into the breach, and given my love for trashy TV programmes like Air Crash Investigation, I thought that Airframe would be the perfect vehicle for my exploration of these new lands.
And so I casually segue into another bombshell of a guilty secret: I hated it. I found it one of the single most dull books I have ever battled through.
Airframe is advertised as a thriller. Try as I might, there were only about three short passage during which I could – at even the most generous push of my imaginations – be described as even vaguely interested, let alone thrilled; and those passages played only the most minor of roles in the plot as a whole.
The story, such as it was, really described nothing more than a particularly stressful week in the life of a dull woman who works for an aircraft company, combining well-rehearsed plot devices about a woman in a male-dominated work environment with well-rehearsed plot devices describing the conflicted life of a journalist.
Frankly, the this novel would be no less of a page turner if it were served encased in a jar of golden syrup.
All of which is not to say that the book is particularly bad, per sé: It's just bland. Much like magnolia paint, it's dull but inoffensive, nobody's favourite, but disliked very few.
I am afraid I am one of the few. When I read, I like to be interested, challenged, even moved – Airframe does none of that. Yet if you like your books bland, you'll probably get on very well with Airframe: Just don't expect me to agree.

Classical, the frilly lace-preferably black-back with everything for the wardrobe of fashionistas … and your too!
If you have an item that turns and moves appears on Instagram the it-girls is the shirt with lace collar. The trend, which dominated the catwalks in 2012 in famous brands such as Chanel, Valentino and Dior in several colors, today around the streets with a touch more: Black Lace or lace butterfly.
The frilly lace can be found in many models, fabrics and different colors, so I became a key piece of work full of style and still give that woman for the happy hour at the end of the day. But it seems that the trend got even with the mix: White + Black Lace shirt! Take a look at these photos to inspire you!
Classical and full of personality, it can be used by women of any style, since it can be combined with jeans, slacks, shorts and skirts. Feet, shirt with high collar will also with everything from colorful sneakers, even ankle boots and pumps.
In the winter, just combine the trend with jackets and blazers. Looks great! Already during warmer weather, you can also choose the sleeveless tie collar model, which is so feminine and elegant as the classic shirt.
Oh, and if you love the lace collar fashion, can still give an up in the trend and include the tape in collar dresses and t-shirts. Just buy a long satin ribbon. The thickness is you who chooses!
In addition to the darlings of the fashionistas, as brands Thelure and Mixed, stores like Zara, Forever21, H & M and Renner has also presented beautiful models of shirts with lace collar with super prices into account.
Because it's timeless, sometimes worth considering even the models with prices a little over-salted, after all, the piece may be used at any time of the day and the trend is not going to come out of fashion anytime soon.
What do you think? I like it so much that I even went after one to call my own!
Trend Alert: Ruffle Shorts & Lace Shorts!


All Albertans are patiently waiting for Spring to arrive. I have made a brave (or stupid) move to ditch my Uggs and winter coat and start wearing a denim jacket. Let me tell you, if you are doing this, wear layers and lots of them, because it is still bloody cold in Edmonton.

Thailand expects to serve 30 million foreign arrivals this year
Chiang Mai, Thailand (Photo: Thaiairways) Bangkok (VNA) - Thailand's tourism industry expects foreign arrivals to exceed 30 million in 2023, higher than government estimates of 25-27.5 million. Making the forecast on January 31, the Tourism Council of Thailand (TCT) predicted foreign and domestic tourists will generate over 3 trillion baht (91 billion USD) in revenue this year. However, TCT President Chamnan Srisawat warned the huge volume of visitors will pose challenges for the Thai tourism industry, which is still recovering after the COVID-19 pandemic. Most tourism businesses are still suffering liquidity and labour shortages, he explained, while some are missing out on new opportunities. The council is tackling the problems by cooperating with the Office of SMEs Promotion to help entrepreneurs tap new trends like wellness- and metaverse-based tourism, he said, adding that it is also liaising with the Government Savings Bank and National Credit Bureau for access to … [Read more...] about Thailand expects to serve 30 million foreign arrivals this year

A Narcissistic Number is a number which is the sum of its own digits, each raised to the power of the number of digits.

For example, take 153 (3 digits):

    1^3 + 5^3 + 3^3 = 1 + 125 + 27 = 153

and 1634 (4 digits):

    1^4 + 6^4 + 3^4 + 4^4 = 1 + 1296 + 81 + 256 = 1634

The Challenge:
Your code must return true or false depending upon whether the given number is a Narcissistic number.
Error checking for text strings or other invalid inputs is not required, only valid integers will be passed into the function.
```python
def narcissistic( value ):
    output = 0

    for v in str(value):
        output += int(v)**len(str(value))

    return True if output == value else False
```
```python

    def narcissistic(value):
        return value == sum(int(x) ** len(str(value)) for x in str(value))

Laramie County sheriff candidate Barth suspends campaign
By Hannah Black Wyoming Tribune Eagle
Hannah Black
CHEYENNE – James Barth, a candidate for Laramie County sheriff, has announced he is leaving the race for health reasons.
"It is with a sad and heavy heart that I have to announce that due to personal health reasons, I am suspending my campaign for office for sheriff," Barth said Jan. 5 on his campaign's Facebook page.
Several commenters on the post wished Barth well, including two other candidates for sheriff, Don Hollingshead and Boyd Wrede.
Barth, a former POST-certified law enforcement chaplain who served multiple agencies in Georgia, moved to Laramie County about nine years ago and currently works in the information security industry.
In an October interview with the Wyoming Tribune Eagle, Barth said he'd decided to enter the race after hearing from rural neighbors about their frustrations with the sheriff's department. He described his Christian faith as a central part of his identity and positioned himself as a constitutional conservative, emphasizing his belief in limited government, property rights and other personal freedoms.
Barth's departure from the race leaves Hollingshead, a 26-year veteran of the sheriff's department and current detention captain; Wrede, a 21-year veteran of the Cheyenne Police Department; and former Cheyenne Police Chief Brian Kozak, who served in the position for 11 years, as those who have publicized their candidacy.
The formal process to file for the Aug. 16 primary election will take place May 12-27, according to the Laramie County Clerk's Office.
Laramie County Sheriff Danny Glick announced in July that he would not run for re-election after nearly 20 years on the job.

Pentagon: Al-Qaida leader killed in airstrike in Afghanistan
A dump truck carrying 13,000 pounds of explosives blew up at the entrance of the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, killing at least 50 people on Sept. 20, 2008. Qari Yasin, a terrorist who plotted the bombing, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed Saturday night. File photo by Sajjad Ali Qurehsi/UPI | License Photo
March 26 (UPI) — A U.S. airstrike killed Qari Yasin, a prominent terrorist leader aligned with al-Qaida, last week in Afghanistan, the U.S. Department of Defense confirmed Saturday night.
The counter-terrorism strike was conducted on March 19 in Paktika Province, Afghanistan, the Pentagon said in a release. That area is where Pakistani Taliban operatives have operated after slipping across the border in 2014.
Yasin, described by the Pentagon as a "senior terrorist figure," plotted multiple terror attacks, including the Sept. 20, 2008, bombing on the Marriott Hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan's capital, that killed more than 50 people, including two U.S. servicemen. A dump truck carrying 13,000 pounds of explosives blew up at the entrance of the hotel.
Yasin also was linked to the 2009 attack on a bus that was carrying the Sri Lankan cricket team in Lahore, Pakistan. Killed were six Pakistani policemen and two civilians, and injured were six members of the team. After that attack, Pakistan was excluded from hosting major international cricket matches and it now plays most of its "home" games in the United Arab Emirates.
"The death of Qari Yasin is evidence that terrorists who defame Islam and deliberately target innocent people will not escape justice," U.S. Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis said in a statement.
Last week, Pakistani security officials and Islamist militants said that an American drone strike had killed Yasin. The Pentagon confirm the attack Saturday night.
The Pakistani Taliban, formally called Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan, is an umbrella organization of various Sunni Islamist militant groups based along the Afghan border in Pakistan.

Q: How to return the final values of the Lagrange multipliers and penalty parameter for the Augmented Lagrangian method (LD_AUGLAG) in nlopt for Python? I am looking to use the Augmented Lagrangian method (LD_AUGLAG) in NLOPT in Python to solve a subproblem for another optimisation strategy. However, to do so, I need to know the final values of the Lagrange multipliers and the penalty parameter at termination.
I have looked through the return options available with the Python version of NLOPT, but have been unable to find a return option for these values.
import nlopt
import numpy as np

def myfunc(x, grad):
    d = x.size
    val = 0.0
    for i in range(d):
        val += 0.5 * (x[i]**4 - 16.0*x[i]**2 + 5.0*x[i])
    return val

def mycons(x, grad):
    val = np.dot(x,x) - 30.0
    return val

n = 2
x0 = np.zeros(n)

local_opt = nlopt.opt(nlopt.LN_BOBYQA, n)
local_opt.set_ftol_rel(1e-10)

opt = nlopt.opt(nlopt.LD_AUGLAG, n)
opt.set_local_optimizer(local_opt)
opt.add_inequality_constraint(mycons, 1e-08)
opt.set_min_objective(myfunc)
x1 = opt.optimize(x0)
print(opt.last_optimum_value())

I was hoping within the opt object would be an option to return the value of the Lagrange multiplier and the penalty parameter used at termination. However, there does not appear to be such an option within NLOPT.

Q: Specific Punctuation Stripping Python Now, I'm aware of the thousand or so questions that have already been answered regarding punctuation stripping. However mine is a bit different than the ones I've looked at.
I need a code that strips all punctuation, EXCEPT hyphens and single apostrophes.
The code I've found so far is:
import re
def textStrip():
    text = input("Text? ")
    return re.compile('\w+').findall(text)

This works fantastic for stripping all punctuation, now I'm wondering if there is a way to add exceptions to this? Or if someone has a better way all together, that would help tremendously. Thanks!
Sample:
"A tall-ish wall, with trim.I don't want to paint it;"

Would return:
["A", "tall-ish", "wall", "with", "trim", "I", "don't", "want", "to", "paint", "it"]

A: Put -, ', \w inside [...] (meaning set of characters):
>>> import re
>>> text = "A tall-ish wall, with trim.I don't want to paint it;"
>>> re.findall("[-'\w]+", text)
['A', 'tall-ish', 'wall', 'with', 'trim', 'I', "don't", 'want', 'to', 'paint', 'it']

TERRIBLE NEWS THE BODY OF THOMAS BRYSON HAS BEEN FOUND. BELOW THERE IS AN A LINK TO AN ARTICLE THAT CONFIRMS THIS. PRAYERS FOR HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
Better known as Tommy, he is in immediate danger!
He was kidnapped by a dangerous suspect!
But Tommy has not been found!
Find Missing Thomas A. Bryon!
Find Missing Thomas A. Bryson! This is considered to be an emergency, time-sensitive case. WEstern North Carolina police are searching for a missing man. Thomas A. Bryson is his name. And his nickname is Tommy. Bryson was abducted by an armed and dangerous suspect. That suspect has White Supremacist gang ties. The suspect was captured in in Bryson's truck but Bryson remains missing. Tommy is 68 years old. He is from Mills River, North Carolina.
Find Missing Thomas A. Bryson!
Tommy left his home in the South Mills River Road area. It is near Hendersonville, North Carolina. Tommy had left around 8:35 A.M. on July 26, 2017. He was driving his silver Honda Ridgeline. It is shown on the poster at the top of this post. Then Bryson was abducted and his truck was stolen. Phillip Michael Stroupe 11 stole Tommy's car. Stroupe is an ex-convict with a lengthy criminal record. Stroupe is a Caucasian male and is 39 years old. Tommy is a Caucasian male. He is 5'9″ tall and weighs 175 pounds.He has gray hair and a mustache. He was last seen wearing a dark plaid shirt, brown cargo shorts, and tennis shoes.
Stroupe was captured in McDowell County. His capture happened in the early hours of July 27, 2017. An officer in Yancey County spotted him in the truck owned by Bryson. And then he captured Stroupe. Bryson is still missing.
Authorities are holding out hope that Bryson is still alive. And they are trying to retrace Stroupe's steps to figure out what might have happened to Bryson. And time is of the essence.
***SAD UPDATE: Thomas Bryson was found deceased. Because of the circumstances involved, I had a feeling this would not end well. An article confirms this. Click here to read the article.
Tommy's daughter has made this touching status update on her profile.
Millions of people around the world were praying for Tommy. People who were not praying types were speaking to God pleading for Tommy. From right here in North Carolina all the way to Russia. People around the world were calling on God.
Prayer. God. Faith. Words that are so often taboo in news media today were front and center. Tommy would have been pleased to see how many people were on their knees. He was a man who truly loved God first and foremost. And he is dancing with Jesus now. Healed. Happy.
Our human hearts hurt. We are sad and confused to why such a wonderful, Godly, family man was taken in such a senseless act. Please continue praying for our family. We have a long road of healing and given the circumstances will be public. And we just miss our Papa.
UPDATE: A reward is now being offered for information leading to find Tommy.
Time is of the essence. Actually, it is in every missing person's case. But in many cases no foul play is suspected and their cases are not given priority, attention, or resources. In Tommy's case, known foul play is suspected. Get the word out and save his life. Our shares can reach persons (s) with information about where Tommy is or what happened to him. If you have seen Tommy, call 9-1-1 immediately! Do you have information about Stoupe? Bryson? The truck used since July 26? Any information that can help narrow down the search area? Call the Henderson County Sheriff's Office. Call them at: (828) 697-4911.

As a business coach I inspire my clients to change rapidly and what makes my coach offering unique is that I help clients tap into and address their key issues within minutes. Strategic business coaching can transform your business rapidly.
Ghandi said, "Be the change that you want to see in the world". I attempt to live by this philosophy through not only engaging my clients but through transforming alongside them, living out the concept of, "You never fly alone".
Your journey is also my journey.
I help people succeed on purpose and get better results rapidly and practically through training, coaching and therapy. People who have walked with me find that they release their limitations and reach new heights in a very short period of time. I believe in empowering others in consciously making better decisions towards achieving their goals, literally "succeeding on purpose". I enjoy assisting people to change rapidly through leveraging positive psychology and accelerated technologies like NLP, Time Line Techniques, Hypnotherapy, in order to live happier, more fulfilled, authentic and more balanced lives.
Business coaching helps you to work on your business rather than in your business and is a powerful process that is an action catalyst, accelerator and self-discovery towards helping you to achieve your outcomes, develop your business and live a more purpose-filled balanced life. (Often used to clear blockages in a thinking partnership).
Neuro-business coaching also known as Thinking Coaching helps you establish sustainable habits and tools to develop you and your business to work smarter and get results consistently. (Often used for business productivity).
Strategic coaching helps you create a practical blue print to evolve your business to the next level. This includes assisting you to develop a high performance team or teams as part of your business strategy. (Often used as a business growth point).
This intervention is a spring clean to help you to clear your major negative emotions and the negative impact they have on your life and business. This process helps to clear Anger, Sadness and Hurt, Fear, Guilt and Conflict and any other Limiting Decisions or Negative Emotions. (Often used to turbo-boost from a major setback or challenge).
Neuro-reprogramming helps you to clear self-sabotage, limitations, blockages and areas where you feel stuck or restricted creating empowering behaviours and positive results in your business and in your life. This is a powerful process that assists with clearing blocked areas in your life. (Often used to clear fears, phobias such as public speaking, flying etc., procrastination, panic disorders, OCD (obsessive compulsive disorders) and depression).
I assist corporates and SME's to become more productive and resolve problems easier through my training, facilitation and coaching programs using positive psychology, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Neuro-Leadership and more. I evoke and evolve teams and individuals towards being more inspired, more engaged and more productive. Businesses can then clearly determine their return on investment using change and project management principles to measure results through a balance scorecard methodology.
The TDD is designed to align your team, help them to develop into a high performance team very rapidly and to work better together. This intensive process gets practical results that is measurable and has written reports for ongoing development programs. (Often used when a team has undergone a change, is under new leadership or needs to improve their game).
Coffee Conversations are a facilitated process with your team to assist them to sustain their change of strategy and get rapid practical results. It helps grow them into high performance individuals and helps develop high performance teams. (Often used to develop a sustainable high performance team).
Face Profiling (physiognomy/physical features) – how your facial features clarifies aspects of your persona.


When a website gets hacked, one thing we know for sure is that attackers love to leave malware that allows them access back into the site in future. This type of malware is called a backdoor. This type of malware was named this because it allows for remote control of a compromised website in a way that bypasses appropriate authentication methods. You can update your site, change passwords, along with any of your admin procedures, and the backdoor would still be there allowing unexpected access to an attacker controlled everything usually user permissions.
Backdoors are also very hard to find because they don't have to be linked directly in the website, they can be very small and be easily confused with "normal" code. Some of them have passwords, some are heavily encrypted/encoded and can be anywhere on your site, file system or database.
As you can see, I recommended use more then one method to detect and protect by mixing modsecurity rules, waf firewall, ids firewall, blacklisting, scanning maldet with malware.expert – malware signatures and manual analysis to find all the backdoors on a website.
If you are trying to clean a compromised site by yourself, we recommend if possible delete all files and put back clean files. But if this not possible, then overwriting all the files you can (core files, plugins, etc). Of what is left, you have to manually analyze all the files to make sure they are clean.
Good tool scanning malware Maldet / Clamav & Our Signatures.
If you can't get away all PHP malware, backdoor and etc, your site will be hacked again!

Official visit concluded in Tallinn
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess concluded their official visit to the Baltic states today in Estonia. The day's activities ranged from digitalisation and modern urban development to cultural heritage in Tallinn, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Estonia and Norway both have highly digitalised public and business sectors, and have many interests in common. This was the basis for the seminar that was the first item on today's agenda for Her Excellency President Kersti Kaljulaid and Their Royal Highnesses The Crown Prince and Crown Princess.
Business seminar
There is extensive, ongoing cooperation in the digital sphere. The Nordic and Baltic countries signed the "Digital North" declaration last year in Oslo as a step in the vision to make the Nordic-Baltic region a frontrunner in digital development.
Crown Prince Haakon opened the seminar today and pointed out the many similarities and opportunities the two countries share.
"Estonia and Norway are both small, open economies. We are both part of the Single Market. And both our countries are at the top of international rankings of digitalisation. This means that we are in a good position to address the challenges and exploit the opportunities represented by digital transformation."
Estonian and Norwegian companies have come together both at Tallinn ICT Week and during Oslo Innovation Week. Today the stage was set to establish even more new contacts.

Telliskivi – urban development in a nutshell
Within walking distance from downtown Tallinn is the district known as Telliskivi (Estonian for "brick"). The former industrial area has been reinvented as a centre for creative activity, with theatre and music, galleries and art. It is a dynamic environment that is home to restaurants, meeting places, modern buildings and organisations.
Several of the cultural actors in Telliskivi have close ties to Norway, as does the Network of Estonian NGOs (NENO), which plays an important role in Norwegian support for Estonian civil society via the EEA and Norway Grants.
Today the Crown Prince and Crown Princess were given a tour of Telliskivi Creative City, where they learned more about its activities and ties to Norway.

Concluded in the Old Town
After experiencing the modern Telliskivi district, the Crown Prince and Crown Princess concluded their official visit in the Old Town of Tallinn. This is one of Europe's best preserved medieval cities, and figures on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Estonia's culture and history and its ties to the Nordic region, Russia and the Continent are all reflected within the old city walls.
The guided walk ended at the Town Hall, centred in the old town square. The Town Hall, a tourist attraction in itself, dates back to the 1400s and houses a collection of paintings from the first half of the 1900s, many by artists who had ties to Norway.

The official visit of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess was concluded with a press conference outside the town hall. In the course of four busy days, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit have visited Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, and participated in each country's celebration of a century of independence.

If you have never had Bermudan rum, you are missing out. It's not just for a Dark and Stormy…try it in a Mojito. A Bermudan Strawberry Mojito!
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the sugar and the water. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, just until the sugar has dissolved. Removed the syrup from heat and stir in 4 mint leaves. Set aside to cool.
In a tall glass, muddle together the strawberries, remaining mint and 1 tablespoon of the mint syrup. Stir in rum. Top with ice and finish with seltzer. Stir and serve.


Oded Oron (PhD, International Studies, 2018) was a graduate student and journalist in Israel when he witnessed a massive protest in Tel Aviv's city center in 2014. More than 40,000 asylum-seeking migrants from Eritrea and Sudan had gathered to protest their treatment in Israel. Oron was moved by the event.
To explore that question, Oron came to the University of Washington, joining the second cohort of a new PhD program in the Jackson School of International Studies in 2014. Oron was drawn to the UW by the expertise of its faculty, especially Jackson School professors Joel Migdal and Kathie Friedman and political science professor Michael McCann. Migdal has extensive knowledge of Israeli history and politics, Friedman is an expert on forced migration, and McCann's areas of expertise include social movements, protests, and collective action — all topics germane to Oron's research on asylum seekers in Israel.
Asylum is a fairly new phenomenon in Israel. In the 30 years prior to 2005, the country received approximately 5,000 asylum applications — an average of 170 each year. After 2005 that number skyrocketed, as displaced Eritreans and Sudanese entered through the border between Egypt and Israel. About 64,000 asylum seekers had arrived by 2012.
They've been through hell and back and made time to share their journey and most intimate experiences with me.
Many of the arrivals settled in Tel Aviv without a real legal status or rights. Some were sent to Israel's Holot Detention Center (since closed) for at least one year on a rotating basis, despite international laws stating that asylum seekers not be penalized for crossing the border illegally if they identify themselves to the authorities and claim asylum. "It's something that the majority of asylum seekers in Israel did when they got to Israel, but that was completely disregarded," says Oron.
To explore that question — how marginalized migrants coordinated a massive protest — Oron returned to Israel for field research, with support from the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies and the UW Center for Human Rights. He interviewed NGO professionals and activists who supported the protest, and more than 35 asylum seekers from the Sudanese and Eritrean communities. He also made 10 trips to Holot Detention Center to speak with dozens of detainees.
With his PhD now complete, Oron is ready to leave academia. He hasn't ruled out teaching part-time, but his priority is working hands-on with an NGO or other international organization directly assisting migrants, and advocating and studying migration and asylum issues.
You can help UW students like Oded Oron by supporting scholarships and fellowships in the Stroum Center for Jewish Studies and the Center for Human Rights.
