Norman "Hec" Fowler
This is Norman Fowler. He was better known by his nickname Hec, sometimes spelled Heck. The origins of the nickname remain unknown to me. Perhaps it was because he gave his opponents heck. He was a a brawling puck stopper, an early day Ron Hextall.
Born in Saskatoon in 1892, Fowler rose through the goaltending in the junior ranks in northern Saskatchewan city, earning praise and notice.
He turned his youthful passion into a career that took him to some unusual places. In 1916 he moved to Spokane, Washington to play for the Canaries of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association. He would later play with the PCHA's Seattle Metropolitans and Victoria Aristocrats/Cougars.
When the Boston Bruins joined the National Hockey League in 1924, they acquired Fowler from Victoria to be the Bruins first goaltender.
The excitement soon faded for the Bruins and especially for Fowler. After seven games he was dumped. He had won just one of those games and allowed 42 goals.
There is even some suggestion that Fowler burned some bridges by admitting he was allowing extra goals against in hopes that the Bruins would go out and get some better players. Manager Art Ross opted to do just that, but named Fowler as their scapegoat and let him go.
Ross apparently even suspended and fined Fowler as much as $1,000. Fowler returned home but found a new team in the Edmonton Eskimos. Somehow though, Ross bound Fowler to a contract for just $1. In order to secure his release the Eskimos paid Fowler's $1000 fine.
Fowler took his $1 and framed it. He reportedly posted it on the walls of a printing shop he opened in Saskatoon after retiring from hockey.
Fowler would play two seasons in Edmonton before relocating to California to play for a team called Oakland Shieks! He was somewhat of a celebrity in the sunshine state, dubbed a "human blanket" for his puck stopping abilities.
I found one article from 1951 by Vern DeGeer of the Montreal Gazette which paints "Heck" Fowler as one of the most colorful hockey players ever. Here's the highlights:
"Probably the roughest and toughest goaltender to hit major professional hockey in the last 35 years . . ."
"Fowler was a physical culture fanatic with arms like a village smithy and legs hewed from steel."
"He often participated in speed contests against Phil Taylor (formerly of the Ice Follies and Ice Capades) and Norman Faulkner, a prairie champion before losing a leg in the First World War."
He was an avid baseball player, uniquely playing short stop like a goalie. "He played the position hockey-fashion, blocking grounders with his feet and shins, then making the pick-up for the throw."
"During the summer months he used to get out on the sidewalk in front of his house and invite neighboring kids to fire pucks at his unprotected shins."
He also was quite the amateur soccer goalie.
But it was his temper and physical play that set him apart from most goalies.
"Insisting that a goaltender's cage was his castle, Fowler wouldn't permit an opponent within a stick's length. Oldtimers who campaigned against him will tell you Fowler was the original wood-chopper. He delighted in laying on the lumber. If you got too close for a good belt with the hickory, he'd throw a punch.
"He served time in every penalty box within skating distance during his eventful professional career. In his campaigning days when a goalie was penalized no substitute was permitted to serve his sentence as is done today. He engaged in a dozen fist fights in the Coast League, several in the NHL and despite the burden of equipment, didn't lose many decisions. In a duel with the sticks, which was the favorite skull denting approach until the moderns encouraged a milder form of physical encounter, he could swing his heavier war club vigorously enough to fell one of California's famous Redwood trees. But he preferred his fists. Claimed he was always breaking sticks and his tough knuckles took the punishment easier."


Tarleys Trust Property Group is proud to announce a strategic sponsorship deal with Rygersdal AFC. The sponsorship deal, which will last until the end of the season before being re-evaluated, includes a branded squad kit and naming rights to the amateur club's social senior team. The Social Boys, competing in the Cape Town Tygerberg District's fifth division, began playing for the club last season and the team comprises of talent from all over the city including a couple of players from Nelspruit and other parts of South Africa. "Last year we had a decent season and a very good team spirit," explained the team's player-coach Grant James. "We just lacked that bit of quality and depth in our squad to challenge for the league and ended up finishing mid table. "This season, myself and Justin Asher [Team Manager] have spread the responsibility a bit more, and along with Craig von Wielligh, Ajax Cape Town's conditioning coach, we have good brains I can trust and bounce ideas off. "With a couple of very good technical players joining the ranks, and a healthy squad of 21 players, we will be pushing for the league title this season. "Unlike a lot of sides in this league, we like to play a short passing game with a lot of interchanging of positions and fluidity. Now our attractive football can merge with a big-name sponsor like Tarleys." The sponsorship covers the team's match day kit for the season and will see the side donning a brand new Umbro scarlet and white stripe. Speaking about the sponsorship deal and what it means to the company, Jaclyn Berman was keen to stress the importance of such activities within the business. "We're constantly wondering how we can fulfill our ideals of social responsibility and associate with the right things," explained the Portfolio Manager. "We wanted to find a group of people to promote our brand, a group who are both young and unique while upholding our moral mantra of helping others". Speaking from his office, the property giant's director – Bradley Berman – was all praise for the deal and echoed Jaclyn's sentiments. "These guys would be the ones renting properties from us, we would manage their Body Corporate, we would maintain and develop their office buildings and we would renovate their houses," said Berman. "Through this sponsorship agreement we open ourselves up to a massive market of young entrepreneurs and boldly display our brand on the shirts of a very passionate and young squad of soccer players who we feel are capable of representing what we stand for. "With the club, as a whole, the opportunities are endless and we look forward to taking on this new challenge to see where this deal can put us in the long term." While the sponsorship deal has only been set in stone for one season, there are many clauses which would allow Tarleys Trust Property Group to continue their support of Rygersdal AFC well into the next ten to fifteen years. "Ideally we would like to sponsor the entire club, so this is just a starting block," explained Bradley. "Next year we will look into adopting a couple of the junior teams and possibly attach ourselves with one or two more senior teams. "The FIFA World Cup attracted so many companies to join in on the soccer festivities and this year we decided to revel in the success of a show which South Africa put on and adopt our own team in the hope that one day this company can be fully committed to one of the most successful and well known soccer clubs in Cape Town." Youngsters from the age of seven years old brave the trains from inside the townships in order to make their way to Rondebosch, all to ensure they're at training twice a week and form part of their coaches plans for the weekend. The club boasts many former professionals and current players such as former Bafana Bafana striker Gerald Stober and Goalkeeper John Goodwin, as well as current Bidvest Wits midfielder Thando Mngomeni and former Santos and current Maritzburg United left back, Bevan Fransch. Gary Gibson, former coach of Ikapa FC and Mother City FC, has now taken over the coaching reigns at Rygersdal which see's the former Hellenic player in charge of the first team while over seeing the entire junior coaching staff in a "Director of Football" type position. Tarleys Trust Property Group is glad to be associated with the Rygersdal Social Boys and wishes the team, Tarleys Rygersdal, a great and successful season.

Lots of clients come to Petrelli Previtera Schimmel, LLC asking about prenuptial agreements and inheritance. As this is not the most romantic document to discuss before getting married, there is usually an important and specific item or asset in mind that they want to protect that brought them to a lawyer. Very often this asset is an inheritance- a piece of property, a trust fund, etc. They know that they are going to receive this item when their parents or grandparents pass away and they know they want to keep it separate. But, they do not know how to specifically do this under Pennsylvania or New Jersey Family Law.
1. They want to keep the inherited property or asset completely separate. This is the basic scenario where someone inherits an item and does not want it included in the marital pot.
2. They want to keep the inherited property or asset completely separate, including any future value of that asset. This scenario deals with an inherited asset like a piece of property, where it will grow in intangible value year to year. Parties often not only want to protect the house itself, but the value it gains as it sits on the market.
3. They want to keep the inherited property or asset completely separate, including any future use of that asset. This comes up when a party inherits a stock account or trust fund. The money can sit in an account and gain interest or dividends. Or, a party can take the money out and use it to purchase something else (like a car or a vacation). Often parties want to separate the inherited money itself but not what they spend it on. Or, they want to set a limit of what they spend and keep separate.
Whichever scenario above fits your personal needs, it is important to have a prenuptial agreement lawyer discuss with you your rights, the implications of an inheritance and how divorce can effect what you receive. Contact our office today for a consultation and help drafting your prenuptial agreement.

Look what came in the post today!
I received my Sylvan Grouse Guild medal and certificate from the Pennsylvania Watercolor Society in the mail today! Oh how I wish I could have been there in person to receive it. It didn't lessen the moment though when I shared it with my family here at home. The medal is quite lovely and surprisingly hefty. I am grateful to the PWS for giving me the opportunity to achieve Sylvan Grouse Guild status, and honored to have the distinction of using the PWS-sgg signature. Back to my brushes.

Study Details Long-Term Quality of Life Improvements After Parathyroidectomy in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
New research provides an overview of the long-term quality of life benefits achieved after parathyroidectomy for people with primary hyperparathyroidism.
A systematic review of English-language published studies published from June 1998 through February 15, 2021, results of the study detail the improvements in quality of life observed up to 10 years after parathyroidectomy among people with primary hyperparathyroidism.
"This systematic review brings together 20 years of research investigating QOL after treatment with parathyroidectomy for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism," wrote investigators. "Based on these 31 studies, there is strong evidence in the literature that parathyroidectomy is associated with improvements in preoperative, nonspecific, neurocognitive symptoms and quality of life, and these improvements are sustained in the long term."
Led by a trio of investigators from the Department of Surgery at the Medical College of Wisconsin, the research effort was undertaken with the intent of describing the impact of undergoing parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism on long-term quality of life and specific quality of life properties among this patient population. With this in mind, investigators designed their systematic review to evaluate these associations among studies on the subject published in the English language with a minimum of 1 year of follow-up data within the PubMed and Scopus databases from June 1998 through February 15, 2021.
Using Medical Subject Heading terms for hyperparathyroidism, parathyroid hormone, parathyroidectomy, hypercalcemia, and quality of life, investigators identified 31 studies conducted in 14 countries for inclusion in their systematic review. Of note, the original search had returned 3008 studies, with the majority of these studies being eliminated from inclusion due to being duplicates or not meeting inclusion criteria.
Of the 31 studies included, 22 were prospective cohort studies, 5 were randomized clinical trials, 1 was a cases series, 1 was a cross-sectional study, 1 was a case-control study, and 1 was a retrospective cohort study. Regarding quality of life assessments, 21 studies used the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey, a general tool to measure equality of life, and 8 used a disease-specific quality of life measurements, with the remaining using a combination of 10 additional quality of life tools.
Upon analysis, 87% (n=27) of the 31 studies demonstrated significant score improvement in long-term quality of life following parathyroidectomy, including a single study that provided evidence of continued improvement in quality of life 10 years after parathyroidectomy. Investigators highlighted 13% (n=4) of studies included in the review reported mixed results.
"This systematic review suggests that surgical intervention with parathyroidectomy is associated with improved and sustained long-term QOL in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. This review identifies 2 key gaps in the current guidelines: a lack of standardized methodology for assessing quality of life and a lack of specificity regarding which components of quality of life should be considered when counseling patients about parathyroidectomy," investigators added.
This study, "Long-term Quality of Life After Parathyroidectomy for Primary Hyperparathyroidism," was published in JAMA Surgery.

Talk: Mutiny on Mon Cala
This is the talk page for the article "Mutiny on Mon Cala."

For general questions about the article's topic, please visit the Knowledge Bank. Please remember to stay civil and sign all of your comments with four tildes (~~~~). Click here to start a new topic.
Name Edit
I believe that the name of this article is very inaccurate. During the events of the arc in the series, there were two missions to Mon Cala, one to meet with Urtya, which failed, and a second to the Moncaladrome. There was also a mission to rescue Lee-Char in a different world, there was a large space battle, and then a subsequent blockade of Mon Cala. Calling the entirety of these events as a "mission to Mon Cala" is therefore, in my opinion, very inaccurate. In fact, given that it's the title of the arc and was referred to as the mutiny of Mon Cala by Tunga Arpagion, the Mon Cala rebels were referred to as mutineers, and better describes the events of the arc. I think it's safe to say that "mutiny at Mon Cala" is a more appropriate name, even if it's added as a conjectural title. If not then I would suggest the titles of Mon Cala insurgency, battle over Mon Cala, rebellion of Mon Cala, or similar alternatives. I'd be open to any suggestion to be honest.--Vitus InfinitusTalk 12:50, June 20, 2018 (UTC)
If there are no objections, I'll go ahead and move the page to "Mutiny on Mon Cala" given that throughout the arc, the word "mutiny" was used a lot, including on describing the people, the sailors on the Mon Cala fleet, Tunga Arpagion's reference to the events, and the title of the arc of the comics. If there are objections, an alternative could be "Rebellion of Mon Cala" or "Battle of Mon Cala."--Vitus InfinitusTalk 22:00, June 23, 2018 (UTC)
Tuga even calls it Mutiny on Mon Cala, so I'd go with that name --Lewisr (talk) 22:03, June 23, 2018 (UTC)
Making changes now.--Vitus InfinitusTalk 22:05, June 23, 2018 (UTC)
Timeline Edit
This has to occur in 2 ABY, doesn't it? The first couple of issues make several references to it being 20 years since the Imperial occupation and Lee-Char's imprisonment; those are both dated to 18 BBY as per the Burning Seas arc. So I believe there's an unspecified gap between The Ashes of Jedha (ending on Leia saying they need to rebuild, and the start of the Rebels looking for a new base) and the Mutiny/Hope Dies arcs that push those last two over into 2 ABY - TLM86 22:37, June 19, 2019 (UTC)

Egg recall linked to 22 reported illnesses
Photo: Adobestock
By Monica Watrous
SEYMOUR, IND. — Rose Acre Farms has issued a voluntary recall of 206,749,248 eggs that may be contaminated with Salmonella Braenderup. The eggs were distributed from the farm in Hyde Count, N.C., to retail stores and restaurants in Colorado, Florida, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Twenty-two illness have been reported to date.
The affected eggs feature plant number P-1065 with the Julian date range of 011 through date of 102 printed on the carton or package. The eggs are sold under multiple brand names, including Coburn Farms, Country Daybreak, Food Lion, Glenview, Great Value, Nelms, and Sunshine Farms.
The recall is a result of illnesses reported on the East coast, which led to an investigation by the Food and Drug Administration. The Hyde County farm produces 2.3 million eggs a day. The facility has 3 million laying hens with a U.S. Department of Agriculture inspector on site daily.
Salmonella Braenderup may cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy individuals infected with Salmonella Braenderup may experience fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

Top 10 Lord of the Rings Board Games starts!
Recently I started to dedicate myself to this old hobby I got (tabletop games) and I've been watching regularly the Dice Tower videos created by Tom Vasel. There, he reviews board games, presents new stuff that are coming up and ranks them differently according to a specific theme. I'm no Tom Vasel, just a die-hard fan, but even though I propose here the making of OUR Top 10 Board Games! Of course, Lord of the Rings thematic top 10!
I didn't play all of the board games I'm gonna present here, so I cannot review them. The rank is based in Boardgamegeek database (which is HUGE) where people vote and rank their favorite games. So, in a way, it's a qualified rank of board games we're gonna end up getting here.
A must-have for dice lovers with plenty of them while adding cards and specific powers to the table. It's a very well game design brought by Quarriors! system.

Suicide risk may rise as severe heat grows
July 31st, 2018, by Tim Radford
California wildfire, 2018: Rising heat is linked to a higher suicide risk. Image: By CALFIRE, via Wikimedia Commons
High temperatures do more than raise tempers and stoke conflicts. They are also linked to depression, mental instability and a higher suicide risk.
LONDON, 31 July, 2018 – A new study suggests that hot weather's adverse effects on some people can include a heightened suicide risk. While the rise is numerically small today, the increase in extreme heat expected later this century could have starker consequences.
Californian scientists have looked at 50 years of records to establish a link between higher-than-usual temperatures and suicide rates in the United States and Mexico.
They found that a 1°C rise above average temperatures could be linked to a tiny increase – just 0.68% – in suicides in the US and by 2.1% south of the border. The rise is small. But it means that if the pattern of heat extremes predicted under all global warming scenarios continues to 2050, then there could be an additional 21,000 acts of suicide.
The same study, in Nature Climate Change, also identified a tendency to respond depressively: in such hot spells, people who used the social media platform Twitter were more likely to employ telltale words such as "lonely" or "trapped" or "suicidal".
Scientists have already repeatedly established that heat extremes can be lethal, and will multiply as the world warms, directly as a consequence of profligate human combustion of fossil fuels.
"Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally, and suicide rates in the US have risen dramatically over the last 15 years"
The Californian scientists looked at official death records county by county in the US from 1968 to 2004, and across municipalities in Mexico from 1990 to 2010. They then matched these with temperature records by day and by month for those locations.
They also checked 600 million Twitter updates that could be identified as coming from a particular place and combed them for evidence of what they call "depressive feelings." And they found a link between temperature and low spirits, as well as between temperature and suicide rates.
If extended to temperatures likely by 2050, suicide rates could increase in the US by 1.4% and in Mexico by 2.3%. And that could add up to an extra 9,000 deaths at the very least, or as many as 44,000.
"Surprisingly, these effects differ very little based on how rich populations are or if they are used to warm weather," said Marshall Burke, an economist at Stanford University.
"Suicide is one of the leading causes of death globally, and suicide rates in the US have risen dramatically over the last 15 years. So better understanding of the causes of suicide is a public health priority."
Dr Burke and one of his co-authors, Solomon Hsiang of Berkeley University, have repeatedly focused on the human consequences of climate change. Dr Burke has already established that even small reductions in global warming could deliver huge benefits to society.
Separately, Dr Hsiang has warned that global warming could bring poverty even worse than the 1930s Depression for many in the US, and that politicians were ignoring evidence of the sheer social cost precipitated by climate change, not least because rising temperatures make violence and social conflict ever more likely.
Working together, they have also warned that rising temperatures could be associated with lower incomes and productivity, and that with every shift in temperature, there is a link to levels of violence in conflicts worldwide.
"We've been studying the effects of warming on conflict and violence for years, finding that people fight more when it's hot," said Dr Hsiang. "Now we see that, in addition to hurting others, some individuals hurt themselves. It appears that heat profoundly affects the human mind and how we decide to inflict harm."
And Dr Burke said: "Hotter temperatures are clearly not the only, nor the most important, risk factor for suicide. But our findings suggest that warming can have a surprisingly large impact on suicide risk, and this matters for both our understanding of mental health as well as for what we should expect as temperatures continue to warm." – Climate News Network

Q: Why does my function not work with an infinite list? I'm trying to learn haskell and implemented a function conseq that would return a list of consecutive elements of size n.
conseq :: Int -> [Int] -> [[Int]]
conseq n x
      | n == length(x) = [x]
      | n > length(x) = [x]
      | otherwise = [take n x] ++ (conseq n (drop 1 x))

This works correctly.
> take 5 $ conseq 2 [1..10]
[[1,2],[2,3],[3,4],[4,5],[5,6]]

However, if I pass [1..] instead of [1..10], the program gets stuck in an infinite loop.
As I understood it, haskell has lazy evaluation so I should still be able to get the same result right? Is it length? Shouldn't the first two conditions evaluate to false as soon as the length becomes greater than n?
What did I misunderstand?

A: The first thing your function does is calculate length(x), so it knows whether it should return [x], [x], or [take n x] ++ (conseq n (drop 1 x))
length counts the number of elements in the list - all the elements. If you ask for the length of an infinite list, it never finishes counting.

A: One of the main reasons why using length is not a good idea is because when it has to be evaluated on an infinite list, it will get stuck in an infinite loop.
The good news is however, we don't need length. It would also make the time complexity worse. We can work with two enumerators, one is n-1 places ahead of the other. If this enumerator reaches the end of the list, then we know that the first enumerator still has n-1 elements, and thus we can stop yielding values:
conseq :: Int -> [a] -> [[a]]
conseq n ys = go (drop (n-1) ys) ys
    where go [] _ = []
          go (_:as) ba@(~(_:bs)) = take n ba : go as bs
This gives us thus:
Prelude> conseq 3 [1 ..]
[[1,2,3],[2,3,4],[3,4,5],[4,5,6],[5,6,7],[6,7,8],[7,8,9],[8,9,10],[9,10,11],[10,11,12],[11,12,13],[12,13,14],[13,14,15],[14,15,16],[15,16,17],[16,17,18],[17,18,19],[18,19,20],[19,20,21],[20,21,22],[21,22,23],[22,23,24],[23,24,25],[24,25,26],[25,26,27],…
Prelude> conseq 3 [1 .. 4]
[[1,2,3],[2,3,4]]

&deprecated Marks an identifier as deprecated.
Note that a variable declared "global" can also have its value changed with assignment statements (doesn't matter if it has the "&redef" attribute or not).
Writes a record field to the associated log stream.
Allows a record field value to be missing (i.e., neither initialized nor ever assigned a value).
The ?$ operator can be used to check if a record field has a value or not (it returns a bool value of T if the field has a value, and F if not).
Specifies a default value for a record field, container element, or a function/hook/event parameter.
Can be applied to an identifier with &redef to specify a function to be called any time a "redef <id> += …" declaration is parsed. The function takes two arguments of the same type as the identifier, the first being the old value of the variable and the second being the new value given after the "+=" operator in the "redef" declaration. The return value of the function will be the actual new value of the variable after the "redef" declaration is parsed.
Same as &add_func, except for redef declarations that use the "-=" operator.
Called right before a container element expires. The function's first parameter is of the same type of the container and the second parameter the same type of the container's index. The return value is an interval indicating the amount of additional time to wait before expiring the container element at the given index (which will trigger another execution of this function).
Specifies a read expiration timeout for container elements. That is, the element expires after the given amount of time since the last time it has been read. Note that a write also counts as a read.
Specifies a write expiration timeout for container elements. That is, the element expires after the given amount of time since the last time it has been written.
Specifies a creation expiration timeout for container elements. That is, the element expires after the given amount of time since it has been inserted into the container, regardless of any reads or writes.
Synchronizes variable accesses across nodes. The value of a &synchronized variable is automatically propagated to all peers when it changes.
Makes a variable persistent, i.e., its value is written to disk (per default at shutdown time).
Rotates a file after a specified interval.
Note: This attribute is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
Rotates a file after it has reached a given size in bytes.
Encrypts files right before writing them to disk.
Opens a file in raw mode, i.e., non-ASCII characters are not escaped.
Prefers merging sets on assignment for synchronized state. This attribute is used in conjunction with &synchronized container types: when the same container is updated at two peers with different values, the propagation of the state causes a race condition, where the last update succeeds. This can cause inconsistencies and can be avoided by unifying the two sets, rather than merely overwriting the old value.
Internally set on the events that are associated with the reporter framework: reporter_info, reporter_warning, and reporter_error. It prevents any handlers of those events from being able to generate reporter messages that go through any of those events (i.e., it prevents an infinite event recursion). Instead, such nested reporter messages are output to stderr.
Used by the input framework. It can be used on columns of type port (such a column only contains the port number) and specifies the name of an additional column in the input file which specifies the protocol of the port (tcp/udp/icmp).
The associated identifier is marked as deprecated and will be removed in a future version of Bro. Look in the NEWS file for more instructions to migrate code that uses deprecated functionality.

Ann Hood's stories in The Ornithologist's Guide to Life are multi-generational, covering the spectrum of human behavior from the attraction of opposites to the unreliable boundaries of friendship. Writing with elegant precision, Hood's awareness of place is tactile and familiar, drawing the reader into the scenes with her fumbling characters as they struggle with issues that require both courage and resilience; in the end, each tale uncovers an irrevocable moment of reckoning. And that is the truth of these stories, that indefinable instant when fate contrives to change everything forever.
The story selections address the delicate balance and disparate concerns of everyday lifewithout judgment. Each slice-of-life tale reveals real people with complex emotions, navigating through days fraught with endless decisions, rendering the commonplace extraordinary and suggesting the inherent danger in choices, given the inevitable consequences. Life is, after all, a series of perfect moments of clarity that strike without warning.
All of the characters are likeable, especially the women sporting familiar badges of yearning and angst, in spite of their lack of security in a constantly changing world. Most are relatively young and single, but the married ones juggle the usual concerns of family versus self, searching for balance and room to breathe. The elderly bear the burden of grief, all too familiar and ever-present. Separated by generations, the character's dilemmas are bridged by their common humanity; Hood has a way of bringing people together, inserting a dialogue where before there was only silence.
All of these people process conflicting emotions, impending losses, fears, and the unreliability of dreams. In one particularly striking story, the perfect life of a perfect wife is shattered by an action that taints the future of those left in the wake of its destruction. Stunned, she stands helpless before the enormity of the betrayal she can no longer deny.
As the title intimates, the author is indeed an observer of behavior, in this case human, not winged. Her protagonists are skillfully arranged for maximum emotional impact, illuminated, exposing the fragile undersides they try vainly to protect. Reality, the inevitable predator, sidles closer, breeching the nest. Innocence has flown, leaving only remnants of a comfort forever relinquished to an uncertain future.

Teck Resources Ltd.: This Turnaround Stock Has Huge Potential
Nelson Smith | September 15, 2015 | More on: TECK TECK.B
It hasn't been good to be a shareholder in Teck Resources Ltd. (TSX:TCK.B)(NYSE:TCK) over the last few years.
Since shares peaked at more than $60 each back in early 2011, it's been a long, painful ride for shareholders. Shares are currently trading at $8.63 each, which represents a haircut of nearly 90% from the highs. The company hasn't been this cheap since 2009, when its very future was in doubt.
The recovery from the lows back in 2009 was amazing, with shares soaring from less than $5 each to $45 a year later, eventually peaking at more than $60.
Does the company have the potential to do that again? Perhaps not, but there are still plenty of reasons to believe that patient investors will be rewarded if they get in now.
It's insanely cheap
Many value investors start their search for undervalued companies by screening for stocks that are trading at a discount to their book value. It's not a perfect system, since often book value is overstated by things like goodwill and intangible assets. Still, it provides a good place to start looking.
On a price-to-book basis, Teck is perhaps the cheapest company in Canada that isn't on its deathbed. The company has a book value of more than $32 per share, which puts the share price at approximately one quarter of book value. In comparison, most Canadian stocks trade at about twice book value.
Remember, Teck is still solidly profitable as well, even though the metallurgical coal market is about as bad as it has ever been. It has earned $0.60 per share over the last 12 months, and analysts predict the company will be able to earn $0.56 per share in 2015, growing that to $0.71 in 2016.
How often can you find a company that trades at a quarter of book value and is actually making money? There aren't many.
One of the reasons why the market is writing off Teck is because of the company's commitment to the Fort Hills oil sands project, a partnership with Suncor and Total that's slated to begin production in the last quarter of 2017. Teck is still committed to providing some $3 billion in financing for the project.
The issue is Teck doesn't have that much cash. The company is sitting on $1.3 billion in cash as of June 30th, and has generated about $340 million in free cash flow thus far in 2015. After spending $259 million on dividends in the first half of the year, that only puts it on pace to generate about $160 million in cash this year, although 2016 should be slightly better because the company cut its dividend earlier in the year.
Still, Teck is looking at having to raise between $1 billion and $1.5 billion come 2017. Investors aren't sure the market will continue to fund this expansion if commodities stay weak.
But instead of looking at the negatives, let's look at the positives of Fort Hills. If the price of crude averages $70 per barrel and the Canadian dollar is worth US$0.80, Fort Hills will deliver $350 million in annual pre-tax cash flow. That's a free cash flow yield of approximately 12%, not even assuming a full recovery in crude. At $90 per barrel, the numbers are even more attractive.
Commodity recovery
Teck's management has done a nice job of cutting costs as the price of its commodities have fallen. Now investors just have to wait until the market for metallurgical coal recovers, and to a lesser extent, zinc and copper.
Yes, I realize the outlook for commodities looks pretty bleak. The price of just about every major commodity isn't anywhere close to a 52-week high. But I'm willing to bet they'll recover at some point. Sentiment is just too low the whole sector to not recover.
Just a small recovery in the price of commodities is very beneficial to Teck. If copper goes up a penny per pound, Teck's annual profits go up $5 million. If metallurgical coal goes up $1 per tonne, $21 million flows to the bottom line.
Teck is one of the cheapest companies in Canada. If all goes right and commodities recover, shares of this mining giant could end up much higher. Yes, it's a risky company at this point, but there's plenty of potential reward if it can figure things out.
Another great turnaround story...with HUGE potential!
It isn't just shares of Teck Resources that could easily double if the company is truly able to turn things around. There's another former Canadian leader with the same potential.
When tech companies fall from grace like this Canadian icon did, it's typically impossible to regain relevance. Here at Motley Fool Canada, we think this company and its CEO are prepared to prove all of the doubters wrong. We have even named it one TOP turnaround stock for 2015. Will you be left on the outside looking in should our intuition come to fruition?

'Zack Snyder's Justice League': The Best DC Easter Eggs and References
ScreenCrush Staff Published: March 19, 2021
The following post contains SPOILERS for Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Zack Snyder's Justice League is long. It's like an entire company-wide crossover crammed into a single film. It's got six chapters and a couple epilogues. It's also got a ton of references to DC Comics, and to the DC Extended Universe that Zack Snyder created with Man of Steel, and which sort of came to an end with the disastrous theatrical release of Justice League.
For example, did you notice the recurrences of the number seven? It's Victor Stone's football number, and the number of kingdoms Arthur needs to unite to be the true king of Atlantis. Why so many sevens? Because there are seven core members of the Justice League (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, and Martian Manhunter). The number has Biblical meanings too — as God created the Earth in seven days. And there are more Christian symbols and meanings in the film as well. For that, and a whole lot more (again, this movie is incredibly long) watch our full Easter egg breakdown below:

How do we get patients engaged in their care?
According to a meta-analysis published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (2012), Americans are failing to comply with medication prescriptions and it's costing them anywhere between $100 billion to $289 billion a year. 20 to 30 percent of prescriptions are never filled and almost 50 percent of medications aren't taken as prescribed. (Annals of Internal Medicine, 2012) Medication non-adherence causes approximately 125,000 deaths a year and up to 10 percent of all hospitalizations. (Annals of Internal Medicine, 2012) Although this non-adherence is troublesome to providers it has not affected their bottom lines thus far. However, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) is shifting focus away from the current fee for service reimbursement model to one where healthcare organizations are reimbursed on healthy outcomes for the consumers they serve. This focused attention on outcomes and consumer-based models will force healthcare organizations to look for ways to influence and impact consumer behavior to positively affect their health. Savvy providers will establish more effective, meaningful interactions with their patients and increasingly promote better health outcomes through comprehensive engagement strategies. Gamification platforms built on theories of behavioral economics holds significant potential to achieve both of the above goals.
Gamification is the application of game elements and digital game design techniques to influence behavior in non-game settings. (Wikipedia) Tools such as points, achievement badges, or mastery levels are all dynamic methods to interact with customers through the medium of games. According to a leading information technology research and advisory company, by 2015 more than 50% of organizations will be using gamification and business will spend $2.8 billion dollars on gamification in 2016. (Gartner, Inc) Smartphones are effective conduits for gamification because they include features such as GPS services, accelerometers, and external sensors. Consequently, health-related apps are quickly taking hold at rapid-fire speed. These apps are being designed to monitor every facet of an individual's health profile ranging from activity and sleep to nutrition and vital signs. Key areas where apps will make an impact include nutrition, weight management, disease prevention, self-management, adherence, cognitive, and mental health. Telehealth is another burgeoning area of care that could use gaming as a channel for promoting and encouraging healthy outcomes. Healthcare organizations have only just begun to scratch the surface to the varied applications of gamification. Additionally, technological advancements such as gesture and sensor recognition technologies will continue to drive and evolve gamification utilization in health care.
However, new technologies that track behavior and connect with patients are not in and of themselves going to change behavior in high-risk patients. In order for to achieve improvements in adherence rates, technology has to be combined with personalized incentive schemes. For example, Volpp et al describe an approach called "automated hovering." This is a cost effective method to monitor patients and deliver targeted feedback. Such hovering can provide clues about why patients are not adherent to medication regimens. Currently, all a provider knows is that the patient has not filled a prescription. (NEJM, 2012) Additionally, video games are designed to motivate users behaviors using techniques such as conditional rewards that risk being lost if gamers do not return frequently to play. This plays well on the well known tendencies of loss aversion and to irrationally value things they hold over things they do not have.
Evidence supporting gamification in health is starting to emerge. (Am J Prev Med, 2012) However, there are a number of issues that need to be addressed in order for gamification platforms to be successful in influencing ingrained health behaviors. Firstly, a multidisciplinary approach must be utilized with experienced game developers working in tandem with clinicians and behavioral scientists. Secondly, factors such as regulation and accreditation must be considered to provide consumers with assurance regarding quality.
In conclusion, as reimbursement schemes shift from a fee for service model to a fee for value/outcome based model, healthcare providers will be increasingly apt to engage patients in more meaningful and innovative ways. Preliminary work on behavioral economics coupled with gamification platforms has yielded positive results. Therefore, as we progress with technological advancements, look for healthcare providers to invest in these programs at significant risk with the hopes of decreasing costs while increasing quality and access of healthcare.

Jamie and Domi's York County history: Season 1
Newberrytown
Village of Newberrytown, York County
Please see Season 2 of "Hometown History: Jamie and Domi's YoCo Backstory."
The situation – Season 1
In Episode 1 of the video series "Hometown History: Jamie and Domi's YoCo Backstory," Jamie Kinsley and Dominish Marie Miller explore the Underground Railroad heroics of freedmen Ezekiel and Eliza Baptist, African-American station masters. They talked on location at the historic Miller farm in Newberry Township, an 1850s barn looming in the background.
Jamie and Domi talked about how the Underground Railroad operated until the Civil War, receiving untold scores of sweating and ragged freedom seekers from the South. The talked about the Quakers, people of strong faith, who had undergone persecution in Europe in their quest for religious freedom. These Christians, worshiping in a row of meeting houses in Newberrytown, Lewisberry, Warrington, York Springs and Biglerville, had undergone prosecution for religious freedom in Europe. They received freedom seekers on the Underground Railroad who had no freedom, fleeing chattel bondage where they were treated as property.
Jamie, a teacher, holds a doctorate in American studies, blogs about local history and culture and operates this digital site, WitnessingYork.com. Domi, a federal court archivist, holds a master's degree in library science and moderates the Preserving the History of Newberrytown Facebook group. She is a re-enactor in the 87th Pennsylvania.
Here are some of the goals driving Jamie and Domi and "Hometown History," complete with a YouTube channel:
To introduce next generations of York County residents to York County history.
In so doing, we present the history of all people in a way that has weight and is winsome
To test a new, conversational way of storytelling about history.
Episode 2, was livestreamed in the Retro York and Preserving the History of Newberrytown Facebook groups at 7 p.m., Wednesday, July 13. The show as presented from the grounds of Etters VFW.
Jamie and Domi talked in this episode about pain and trauma endured in two wars – the Civil War and World War II – and how veterans and civilians dealt with the lingering impact of war. They also discussed the aftermath of a major York County industrial accident – the York International Explosion of 1998.
Episode 3, "Four years in York County Prison," was livestreamed in the Retro York and Preserving the History of Newberrytown Facebook groups at 7 p.m., July 29. The show was presented from the home of Jeff and Cindy Lobach, Springettsbury Township.
Jamie and Domi talked about the day when York County stepped on the head of the snakeheads … of the Chinese gangster variety. These venomous smugglers specialized in trafficking human cargo across the sea into America and other countries. Their impact in 1993 touched York County and its prison when INS detained 154 smuggled Chinese people crammed aboard the Golden Venture that ran aground in June 1993 on Rockaway beach, Queens. By 1997, about 50 Golden Venture seekers of freedom remained in York County prison, held four years without being charged. Jamie and Domi tell about those years when a group of faithful area residents advocated for them in court, the news media and with government officials. These prisoners were released after Congressman Bill Goodling brought their plight to the attention of President Bill Clinton. Their legacy includes scores of folk art sculptures created in prison that remain in private collections and local museums. And that legacy includes an engaged York County community who saw injustice and never gave up.
The Hometown History logo developed to introduce Season 2.
Episode 4, "A hill to die on: How we bury our loved ones – and the unloved" was livestreamed in the Retro York and Preserving the History of Newberrytown Facebook groups at 7 p.m., Aug. 26. The show was presented from the grounds of Friends Cemetery in Newberrytown.
Jamie and Domi talked about three cemeteries sitting atop a hill north of York. As you head north, you find that those laid to rest in Prospect Hill, York City and Lebanon cemeteries range from York area residents who could pay for burial, to those who were segregated by class and then those who were separated by race. In the latter two, abandoned and unmarked graves were common. At Lebanon, work is underway to find and mark burial sites. Will City Cemetery and the unrestored Friends Cemetery in Newberrytown, a Quaker cemetery, be next?
Episode 5, "Millers' Tales: 360 mills spun in well-watered York County" was livestreamed in the Retro York and Preserving the History of Newberrytown Facebook groups at 7 p.m., Oct. 6. The show was presented before a live audience at the Blue Sky Tavern in Etters.
In 1876, about 360 mills spun, churned and turned on York County's creek. These wood,stone and bruck mills point to a well-watered county that supported one of the mightiest farm economies in America for decades, centuries. To process, say, wheat into flour, farmers would bring their grain to water-powered mills along a nearby stream. These mills served multiple needs – from community meeting places to banks. And the colorful feedbags could be used for clothing. Today, some farmers depend on mills, now powered by other means. And these old buildings have been adapted to other uses – event venues, apartments and eateries, a reminder of those days that millers served their communities in so many ways.
Episode 6, "Susquehanna Trail in York County: This Old Trail keeps rolling on" was livestreamed in the Retro York and Preserving the History of Newberrytown Facebook groups at 7 p.m., Nov. 18. The show was presented before a live audience at the Newberrytown Township Municipal Building.
This road, part of a Roaring 20s "Susquehanna Trail" marketing campaign connecting Niagara Falls and Washington, D.C., entered York County at New Cumberland/Fairview Township and exited at the Mason-Dixon Line. Just as the Lincoln Highway created an early 1900s east/west transportation artery, the Susquehanna Trail provided a 1920s north/south corridor. It replaced Route 181, the old road from York to Harrisburg, as the preferred route. But the Susquehanna Trail's spotlight soon dimmed. In the late 1950s, the Trail was subsumed by the Interstate 83, as the Pennsylvania Turnpike had done 20 years before to the Lincoln Highway. When you add this up, York County's geography has made it a major transportation hub and the Susquehanna Trail has been – and is – an integral part of it.
Jamie and Domi are choosing stories explored here on Witnessing York, plus adding stories from their own research.
Stay tuned to Season 2 in 2022 … !

Episode 6: Stephen H. Smith's Yorkpast blog.
One of Jamie and Domi's goals is to engage the next generation. They've found that, if local Facebook audiences are any indication, at least half are above 50 years in age. To fuel local history interest in those south of 50, these videos are meant to reach a broader audience, interesting people of all ages in York County history. However, this is just the first step. How else can we get our kids and grandkids into history?
