Over the past year I have read probably hundreds of articles, blogs and posts, [like this very good post,] that discuss how parents should behave at a youth sports match. Typically all are written from a coach or management perspective and most are well intentioned. They are generally based on how young players should be able to perform in a less stressful environment to enhance their learning. Sports should be fun is the foundation of many articles.
The large majority of these pieces are well thought out and focus on eliminating all the negativity that increasingly surrounds a youth soccer game [or any sport for that matter.] They very clearly spell out exactly what parents and coaches should do. Letter for letter on how and why to behave a certain way should be adhered to. They are hard to disagree with.
This is all well and good except for one rather large psychologically based point; people hate being told what to do. In fact, more often than not people feel great resentment at someone telling them to do something a different way. They didn't ask for your help thank you very much. They prefer you tell others who need to adjust their perspective and will almost always back you up when you are telling someone else what they should be doing. Just don't directly tell them. If you don't believe me then look at the stats on obesity, or how long it has taken to minimize smoking, or simply take your significant other to a mountain resort and teach them to ski. My bet is you will be buying lessons for them rather quickly. They don't want to listen to you. Don't tell me what to do. Why are we like this? Does it matter? We are.
My mother always used the expression, "There are two ways to skin a cat." Until recently I really didn't understand this statement completely. Cats and another option never quite connected for me. Lately it has been given context. Allow me a quick story. My friend's wife leaves the kitchen cupboards open all the time. He's tall, she is short. Cupboards are open, she's cooking, and he dents his head daily. The result is they fight. He whines about this incessantly. These cupboards were affecting their marriage. Sounds familiar doesn't it. But instead of continuing to tell her that she was wrong he finally came to the realization that there might be a different way. He took the cupboard doors off. While not aesthetically pleasing his head doesn't have cuts all over it and they haven't had a fight in months.
When the Play Better program was designed we chose to let parents be whomever they wanted to be. Of course we aren't endorsing yelling at your kids or interfering with your coach but what we are saying is that it is extremely hard to turn off the emotional levels one has for their children. In fact it is likely harder to change the depth of care a parent has for their child doing well, which is often at the heart of problematic sidelines, than it is to teach kids to play proper soccer.
Play Better changes the traditional wins by rewarding young players when they reach developmental metrics, like passes in a game. This not only improves the young players game it also serves to invite parents into what their child wants and sees as beneficial. This is ultimately what a parent wants. Which is to say, a happy child that is seeing improvement and is developing. I've never met a parent that isn't invested and I have never met a parent that can yell at their child if they are happy and smiling. It is seemingly impossible.
What is also impossible is to not begin to learn the game as parents. If your team is aiming for 200 passes and their "win" results in a few dollars being sent to Save the Whales, then parents and coaches want to help the team reach that goal. They want you to win.
Except for now it becomes more challenging to shout or be frustrated when your child makes the inevitable mistake if you know your child intended to make a connected pass for charity. As an adult our mind reasons that they are trying their best to Save the Whales.
Coaches, parents and adults of all types can still exist as the person they are and on a few occasions still need to be reminded about their behaviour but with Play Better they can support the team however they want. We don't always know what is best but we can create a culture around our teams that makes it a place everyone wants to show up and have fun at.
Play Better teams witness first hand how altering the "wins" and "goals" allows a new paradigm of development to be created. For everybody! And this includes the well intentioned and overzealous sideline adults.
Change the reward. Change the game.

Harassment and bullying in the theatre industry special report: Sexual harassment
by The Stage - Jan 25, 2018
Introduction and analysis Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Useful resources
Following the wide-ranging and ongoing allegations of harassment and abuse in the entertainment industry and beyond, The Stage carried out a survey to determine the scale to which this has affected, and continues to affect, theatre and the performing arts professionals.
It was also intended to investigate whether there were any parts of the industry particularly hard hit.
It was distributed to a database of registered users in November 2017 and was carried out over a 10-day period by 1,755 people with 1,050 people completing all key questions.
It collected the data of those who work, have previously worked, or are training to work in theatre.
Citizens Advice defines sexual harassment as unwanted behaviour of a sexual nature, including sexual comments or jokes, displaying pictures, photos or drawings of a sexual nature, sending emails with sexual content, and physical behaviour such as unwelcome sexual advances and touching.
Backstage staff, women and gay respondents more likely to be affected
One in three have experienced sexual harassment
Nearly one in three (31%) survey respondents said they had experienced sexual harassment at some point in their careers.
This ranged from inappropriate comments to unwanted sexual advances, touching and sexual intimidation.
More than 70% of individuals who said they had experienced sexual harassment did not report it, with some admitting they had never considered this to be an option.
Worse for women
Women were significantly more likely to experience sexual harassment than men, with 37% of female respondents to the relevant question answering they had been subject to sexual harassment.
Of performers, 32% said they had been harassed sexually through their work. Of backstage staff, 37% said the same, as did 30% of creatives. One performer said they had been repeatedly asked to perform naked, despite the script not requiring it. They claim they were fired and recast when they refused.
Rates of sexual harassment were higher among freelance workers than staff.
One in five students reported that they had been sexually harassed. Respondents said they had experienced older, male members of staff making sexual jokes about female students, while some told of receiving inappropriate text messages from tutors.
Sexual harassment was more commonly reported by homosexual respondents compared to heterosexual respondents – as were all forms of harassment or bullying analysed in the survey.
As part of the textual responses, gay men described experiences of being told that they should "use their sexuality" to progress their careers, as well as being sexually harassed by older and more senior figures.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A majority of Americans are ready to move on from healthcare reform at this point after the U.S. Senate's effort to dismantle Obamacare failed on Friday, according to an exclusive Reuters/Ipsos opinion poll released on Saturday.
Nearly two-thirds of the country wants to either keep or modify the Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, and a majority of Americans want Congress to turn its attention to other priorities, the survey found.
Republicans have vowed to dismantle the Affordable Care Act since Democratic President Barack Obama signed it into law in 2010, and it appeared they finally had their chance when Republican President Donald Trump took office in January. But the law, which helped 20 million people obtain health insurance, has steadily grown more popular.
The July 28-29 poll of more than 1,130 Americans, conducted after the Republican-led effort collapsed in the Senate, found that 64 percent said they wanted to keep Obamacare, either "entirely as is" or after fixing "problem areas." That is up from 54 percent in January.
The survey found that support for the law still runs along party lines, with nine out of 10 Democrats and just three out of 10 Republicans saying they wanted to keep or modify Obamacare.
Among Republicans, three-fourths said they would like their party's leaders to try to repeal and replace Obamacare at some point, though most listed other issues that they would give a higher priority right now.
Disappointment among Republicans and happiness among Democrats about the repeal's failure were palpable. Two-thirds of Republicans felt "bad" that the Senate failed to pass a healthcare bill, while three-fourths of Democrats felt "good," according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll.
Americans appear to be more supportive of some of the main features of Obamacare. For example, 77 percent said they were in favor of expanding Medicaid to low-income families, and 43 percent said they favored requiring U.S. residents to own health insurance. That was up from 66 percent and 36 percent, respectively, when Reuters/Ipsos first asked those questions in April 2012.
Respondents said they thought a lot of people shared responsibility for the failure on healthcare. When asked who "is most responsible," 20 percent picked Senate Republicans, 13 percent said Trump, and 11 percent said McCain. The rest picked Senate Democrats and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, as well as Senators Collins and Murkowski.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online in English throughout the United States. It gathered responses from 1,136 people, including 381 Republicans and 475 Democrats. The poll has a credibility interval, a measure of accuracy, of 3 percentage points.

Antonio Conte dealt transfer blow as defender rules out reunion at Chelsea
Juventus ace Leonardo Bonucci has rejected interest from Chelsea despite the chance of potentially working with Antonio Conte again.
As reported by The Express earlier this month, the Italy boss has already agreed a deal to take over at Stamford Bridge in the summer, with his contract with the FIGC set to expire after Euro 2016.
While there has yet to be an official announcement on his future with regards to the Blues, it hasn't prevented speculation from linking various players with a move to join him in west London.
Bonucci had been tipped to be one of those individuals, but the Italian international seemingly ruled out the possibility.
"He's the coach who took me onto the next level, right from the day he arrived at Juve," Bonucci said in a press conference, as reported by The Mirror.
"We had a few disagreements at the very start, partly because I wasn't in good shape, but he taught me a lot on a tactical level. If I am one of the best today, part of that is down to him.
"The most I've followed him to is to get a coffee. I don't know what the boss will do, but I've signed a renewal with Juventus and they are all I am thinking about."
Bonucci signed a new deal with the Turin giants in July last year, which will keep him with the club until 2020. After three years with Conte with the Bianconeri, the pair continue to work together in the national team set up, but it doesn't appear as though he has any intention of making their meetings a more regular occurrence.
It will certainly be a blow for Conte as one of the first areas he may have to strengthen upon arrival at Chelsea is the defence, with John Terry's contract set to expire this summer.
The veteran defender has been a highly influential figure for the reigning Premier League champions for over a decade, and although the door remains ajar for a new agreement, there has yet to be much progress.
In turn, Conte will have to identify a replacement capable of filling those big shoes that Terry will leave behind, and Bonucci would arguably have been an ideal successor. However, that search looks as though it will have to continue, although the priority for Chelsea will be to firstly ensure that Conte signs a contract to join them after Euro 2016.

Brachial Plexus Injuries
The brachial plexus is a network of five nerve groups that travel from the spinal cord to the fingers, wrists, arms and shoulders. Each nerve group controls the movement and sensation of specific areas of this part of the body.
A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are damaged resulting in Erbs Palsy (where the upper group of nerves are damaged) or Klumpke's Palsy (where the lower groups of nerves are damaged). Damage to the nerves can be broken down into four main groups:
Avulsion: The avulsion is the most severe type of injury. This is a complete tearing of the nerve root from the spinal cord. These types of tears are rarely treatable with surgery and usually result in permanent disability.
Rupture: Ruptures are tears of the nerve root beyond the spinal cord. Though nearly as serious as avulsions, they can sometimes be surgically repaired to improve the overall outcome.
Neuroma: This is where scar tissue has formed around the injury, restricting signals from the nerve to the muscle. This type of injury varies in severity.
Neurapraxia: The nerve is stretched and damaged, but not torn. Again this can vary in severity.
Brachial plexus injuries are most common when there is difficulty delivering a baby's shoulder; this is called shoulder dystocia. During vaginal birth, a baby's shoulder may become lodged behind the mother's pubic bone. This is an emergency because the baby's head is outside of the birth canal, but its neck has not emerged. The mother's contractions then put pressure on the baby's neck and body, which can be fatal.
As soon as it is apparent that the baby's shoulder is stuck, the delivery team must work quickly to deliver the baby to prevent brain injury or death. Obstetricians are trained to perform the following procedures in this order:
McRoberts Maneuver: the mother's legs are bent up toward her chest, this widens the pelvis and flattens the spine of the lower back. If the baby's shoulder does not dislodge, the medical team should move to the next procedure.
Suprapubic Pressure: Pressure is put on the mother's stomach at a forty-five degree angle to rotate and push the trapped shoulder below the mother's pubic bone. The pressure should be applied to the lower abdomen only.
Wood's Screw Maneuver: The obstetrician puts his hand inside the birth canal, next to the baby's shoulder and rotates the baby to dislodge the shoulder.
Episiotomy: An episiotomy is a surgical cut to the area between the vagina and the anus. The theory is that it gives the baby more room for delivery.
Zavenelli Maneuver: This is rarely used, and requires the obstetrician to push the baby back into the vagina, and deliver the baby by emergency cesarean section.
Symphsectomy: Also rarely used, the symphsectomy surgically cuts the mother's pubic bone to allow room for the baby's shoulder to come through.
During the course of trying to release the shoulder and deliver the baby as quickly as possible to avoid brain damage and death, a brachial plexus injury may be caused. Obstetricians often defend their actions in brachial plexus cases by arguing that it was an emergency situation and they had little time to react. Whilst this is true, these injuries are not unexpected and should be given due consideration whenever the above procedures are attempted. In addition there are a number of risk factors that place obstetricians on notice that a brachial plexus injury is more likely. These risk factors include things such as an extremely large baby or maternal diabetes. In situations such as this, alternative methods of delivery should be considered and complications planned for.
Diagnosing and Treating a Brachial Plexus Injury
Brachial plexus injuries are usually diagnosed by a baby's pediatrician. If the parents or the doctor of a baby notices arm weakness, the doctor may order tests such as an MRI or a nerve conduction study (NCS). These tests help to determine whether there is any damage to the nerves.
If an injury is diagnosed then treatment options will fall into two categories. The first option is surgery, which may bring back some amount of function. Additional follow-up surgeries may be required to remedy any continued weakness. The other option is daily physical therapy, where a therapist and the baby's parents manually move the affected limb to keep it supple and healthy.

Christian Friedrich Hänle (* 25. März 1789 in Lahr; † 22. September 1863 in Lahr) war ein deutscher Apotheker und verfasste eine Reihe von Lehrbüchern.

Leben
Christian Friedrich Hänle begann mit 15 Jahren seine Lehre beim Vater, dem Apotheker Georg Friedrich Hänle, war dann Gehilfe beim Universitätsapotheker Mai in Heidelberg und studierte nebenher Chemie, Physik, Botanik und Materia chemico-medica.

Danach konditionierte er in Frankfurt am Main, in Frankenthal und bei Spielmann in Straßburg. Als er 1811 nach Lahr zurückkehrte, übernahm er die Leitung der väterlichen Apotheke. 1812 bestand er sein Staatsexamen und erhielt seine Apothekeraprobation für das Großherzogtum Baden.

1814 war Hänle in Schuttern vorübergehend Apotheker in einem Spital für badische Truppen. Ein Jahr später wurde ihm von seinem Vater die Apotheke übergeben. Er selbst übergab sie 1855 an seinen Sohn Friedrich Herrmann um sich ganz der Wissenschaft zu widmen.

Von der philosophischen Fakultät der Universität Erlangen wurde er 1834 mit seiner Dissertation über die von ihm entdeckte Putean- oder Brunnensäure zum Doktor promoviert. Christian Friedrich Hänle schrieb einige Lehrbücher und gab an der Gewerbeschule in Lahr unentgeltlich Unterricht in Physik und Chemie. 1836 gründete er in Lahr den Gewerbeverein und wurde zu dessen Präsident gewählt. Die Mittheilungen des Gewerbevereins zu Lahr wurden von ihm redigiert.

Außerdem war er maßgeblich an der Gründung des "pharmazeutischen Vereins im Großherzogtum Baden" (1820) beteiligt. Die Mitglieder des Vereins wählten ihn zum Obervorstand.

Mehr als 100 seiner wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten wurden in verschiedenen Journalen veröffentlicht.

High temperature hydrogen attack (HTHA) in low alloy steels has been a topic of intense research for the past 80 years and research efforts have escalated as a result of recent failures in the petrochemical and chemical industries. Despite determined effort, a complete mechanistic understanding of HTHA which incorporates all aspects of steel metallurgy, service conditions, and operating time has yet to be attained. The Materials Joining Group at the University of Tennessee has conducted multiple industry-sponsored research projects on HTHA in low alloy steels, primarily focused on C-½ Mo steels 1-7. These projects have established a foundation of experience in the microstructural characterization and interpretation of HTHA damaged C-½ Mo steels. On this basis, the following compendium of exemplar images which illustrate HTHA damage in C-½ Mo steels has been assembled to aid in damage characterization and interpretation efforts and to continue to move toward an improved mechanistic understanding of HTHA in C-½ Mo steels.
This HTHA compendium is a collection of micrographs and fractographs obtained from four HTHA damaged C-½ Mo steels which were characterized by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Table 1 summarizes the known exposure conditions, including temperature and hydrogen pressure, for each of the C-½ Mo steels included in the compendium, while Table 2 provides the chemical compositions. In three of the four materials shown in Table 1, HTHA damage occurred during service; these service-damaged materials are designated as MPC-18, MPC-11, and MPC-9. In the fourth material, designated as the MPC-3 Sloped Box, HTHA damage was produced by laboratory exposure in a hydrogen autoclave. The MPC designation refers to the Materials Properties Council, which is the primary sponsor of the Materials Joining Group's research efforts on HTHA in C-½ Mo steels. For each material listed in Table 1, a text summary and accompanying figures are provided which illustrate the extent and morphology of HTHA damage.

Its been a long wait but finally its here; the release of Renegade-X (open public beta). If like me, you remember the classic game - Renegade, then I suggest you head on over there and download a copy. Its free to download, and isnt monetized.
For those who dont know much about Renegade, its a game set in the C&C franchisee where you get to choose a side (GDI or NOD), then using each side unique weapons and vehicle fight to destroy the enemy base. Each structure has a purpose; so destroying the enemy war-factory will stop them from building vehicles or destroying their power-plant will slow production etc. Making players work together to force the enemy defence or defend an incoming attack.
If you played C&C Renegade, then you probably heard of the remake called Renegade X. Renegade X used to require a copy of Unreal Tournament 3 to work. However one of the long-term goals was to make a standalone version (not requiring a copy of Unreal Tournament 3).
I have also fixed many broken features such as skin, boink pages in the Renegade section. These have been broke since the removal of sub-domains many.. many months ago.
I am also re-working the unit pages for Renegade and Generals (as they were a bit of a mess).
I know the site isnt very active any-more however I wanted to keep it up-to date with the rest of the sites.
Visit the official website for more details, FAQ list as well as an early beta access registration.

You know the feeling. The alarm clock is ringing and you're thinking, "If only I had one more hour to sleep." Americans tend to lose about an hour of sleep per night (about two full weeks of slumber per year), pushing our bodies into sleep debt.
The side-effects of sleep deprivation are not fun to experience: impaired memory, foggy brain, worsened vision, and impaired driving. Long-term effects of lack of sleep can include obesity, insulin resistance, and heart disease.
Morning exercise can relieve stress and improve your mood. Coupling exercise with the natural morning light reinforces your body's sleep-wake cycle, improving your night's rest.
The most beneficial exercise time is mid-afternoon to early evening. Vigorous exercise during this time raises your body temperature a few hours before bed. Then as you get ready for bed, your body temperature is falling, allowing a natural wind-down for the night.
Vigorous exercise before bed is not good for sleep. It raises your temperature and stimulates your brain and muscles, making winding down more difficult.
With some practice you can repay your sleep debt. Just like with exercise, the amount of time and intensity you sleep is important. Add an extra hour or two of sleep a night to ensure that you spend more time in deep sleep. Go to bed when you are tired and allow yourself to wake up naturally.
Sleep is vital to restorative health, so bail your body out of sleep debt by being active and catching up on your Zs!
It's okay to eat breakfast food for dinner, but is it okay to eat non-breakfast foods in the morning? I don't think it matters what you eat, as long as you eat something healthy to get the body and brain ready to start your day. Breakfast is the most skipped meal of the day, but the most important!
Eating breakfast helps to control weight gain. Some people skip breakfast thinking it's going to help them lose weight, but it could cause you to overeat later in the day. It is very important to at least eat some low-fat yogurt and fruit in the morning to get your metabolism started. Breakfast will also help you to concentrate better at work and help with memory.
Another reason people skip breakfast is that they don't have enough time in the morning. It's better to get out of bed and have five extra minutes to eat breakfast than hitting the snooze button. Make something quick (for example, a piece of wheat toast with peanut butter) you can eat on the way out the door. Or, pack a few things for breakfast the night before to have it ready to go in the morning.
Try to avoid eating such a large dinner that you're not hungry in the morning. Eating an earlier dinner and avoiding late-night snacks will help to increase your appetite in the mornings, and help to prevent weight gain. We all know preventing weight gain also protects you from heart disease and other health issues. So try it tomorrow morning: Eat a healthy breakfast to start your day!

Polkadodge are back, and they're bigger and better than EVER before. The Sheffield based band (made up of John William Burton, Paul Robertson, Martin Greening and Jack Galvin) have been away for just over a year, and suffice to say, their comeback single has most definitely been worth the wait. With stellar guitars and exceedingly smooth, stylish and gritty vocals throughout from John, this is undoubtedly their strongest work to date.
The impressive and forceful introduction meant that just seconds in I was in no doubt that this song was going to be everything I'd hoped for and more. It's brimming with the dynamics and personality that we all know and love Polkadodge for, but I feel that their sound has really matured. There's something about this that is noticeably very different from their previous work; older tracks, for example 'Laughing In Spanish' and 'The Other Way', are infectious, chipper, and packed full of pop orientated indie melodies and catchy choruses that you can't help but sing along and have a dance to. 'All In My Head' can only be described as a full on rock anthem. It makes me visualise the band playing it live to arena sized audiences- it's THAT good. A stroke of pure musical brilliance, this is one of the most exciting releases of 2016 so far and I cannot wait to see what comes next. Welcome back, boys.
Polkadodge play The Leadmill in Sheffield on Saturday 9th July. Tickets can be bought here.


Need Help Understanding Over Repair, Do Cosmetics Matter?
ForumsArrowStarting OutArrowNeed Help Understanding Over Repair, Do Cosmetics Matter?
I went to see a house today that (NW Houston near Tomball and Spring) was built in 2005 and has never had any upgrades. The house was in good shape with the exception of the fact it needs new paint and floors. You could tell it was outdated but it was clean and in good condition. I wouldn't even have to paint the showers or tubs because they are clean.
When you look at the comps they have granite counter tops, newer paint on cabinets, tile showers, new glass doors, new faucets and sinks, new ceiling fans, lights adding up to another 21k.
Obviously my challenge with only 2 deals complete is learning what I need to repair in order to sell on the back end of the deal. Knowing this should help me improve my offerings and do more deals.
If the house looks clean and livable do you upgrade the cosmetics when the comps show these cosmetics to be consistent? Do you have any tips on houses like this?
These expenses all look high to me but you don't mention the price of the house. I would expect them to be about 25-50% lower. Can you do some of the labor yourself? Painting especially is easy enough to do...just go slow along the trim and ceilings and you can do a great job.
Keep in mind that if you over improve, you won't see a penny in profit for years potentially. Keep an eye out for bargains. I just had new granite installed at 1/2 price because I chose a remnant slab. Remember that this is a rental, not your own house, so don't go overboard. Good luck!
@Aaron White I own a contracting company in Houston. It sounds like it doesn't look right compared to comps you are seeing. If you have a feeling that just doing a little bit of work may make a huge difference I would consider painting the cabinets, doing new countertops, and perhaps if needed some backsplash. None of these items are going to be terribly expensive and should be much less than the 21k you quoted. You've identified floors and paint which also give quite a bit of bang for your buck. One more item is adding in chrome appliances. They aren't that expensive and really make the kitchen pop.
Is this for a rental? For a rental, unless the floor is in bad shape (or has green shag carpet), I wouldn't change it. Paint is an easy thing to do, especially if you can paint it yourself.
Does the fence need to be completely replaced or do a few boards/sections need to be replaced?
If it is to flip, then it is a different story. What type of flooring is in the home now? Solid wood can be refinished. Things like door hardware can make a big difference on the appearance of the kitchen without breaking the bank.
Rent = clean, safe and 'tenant-hardened'. Flip = take it up a notch or three.
If you make improvements that bring your total cash investment on the property to at or above say, 80% of market value, where is your profit or equity?
This property I was looking at would be to flip. That being said even the rentals in this neighborhood have granite and upgraded plumbing for the most part.
So do most of you stick to the big things like painted cabinets, cabinet hardware and granite? If I dropped light fixtures, plumbing fixtures and a tile shower it would probably drop 6k out of my cosmetic budget.
I am looking at a 2400 sqft house.

This was a deeply moving homage to a soul mate. Very poignant! I get lost in the neverending white Samoyed fur and the sandy dirt in my bed. As I mire under the weight of life I tend to become numb to that sammy smile. Thank you for melting that all away for a while! Bailey and Storm thank you, also!

Astrology; A false and evil man made religion from era of Nimrod and Babylon
Special note: ALL the world's false and evil man-made religions can be traced back to the original Tower of Babel, Babylon and Nimrod. End of note.
Blog note: Deuteronomy 18:10-12 King James Version (KJV) …
10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Ephesians 6:12 … For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Exodus 22:18 … Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
1 Samuel 15:23 … For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
2 Kings 9:22 … And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?
2 Chronicles 33:6 … And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger.
Micah 5:12 … And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers:
Nahum 3:4 … Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.
Galatians 5:20 … Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

How Horoscopes Are Determined, And Other Astrology Questions
Jamie Feldman. HuffPost. November 12, 2018
Aliza Kelly's relationship with astrology runs deep ― all the way back to her first days on earth. When she was born, her uncle, who was also an astrologer, calculated her birth chart by hand.
So when she began pursuing a career in astrology in 2013, none of her friends or family members were all that surprised. "They were like, 'You've been asking all of our signs for as long as anyone can remember,'" she said. "Needless to say, when I decided to start a dating app based on astrology in 2013, it didn't feel shocking or weird. It felt like the natural order of my career."
In 2013 she co-founded an astrology-based dating app but wasn't yet a full-on astrologer. She and another founder connected with Broadly astrologer Annabel Gat, who advised on their app. A friendship and a mentorship quickly blossomed. Kelly was soon taking Gat's classes, reading up on as much information about astrology as she could get her hands on and training intensely to become an astrologer. She dove in trying to figure out how to combine something she loves with something lucrative, and the work paid off.
Today, in addition to a biweekly column for Allure, Kelly hosts seminars and videos and has published three books, including one connecting astrology and mixology. Who better, then, to tell us what it looks like to make a living by reading charts and studying the stars?
HuffPost spoke to her about why we're so interested in astrology right now, how a good horoscope is constructed, what to look out for when seeking the work of an astrologer and more.
On manifestation
"The week I decided to call myself an astrologer is the same week [Allure] contacted me to do their horoscopes. I tell a lot of my clients that in order for them to manifest something, they need to be specific and they need to say it out loud. A big part of manifestation is to be very clear about your intentions. You can't be wishy-washy. I had done hundreds of charts, but when I started exploring putting a price on that reading and experience was the same week I got a random e-mail [from the magazine].
"The fact that I have been able to support myself exclusively doing astrology the past few years is remarkable to me, I feel so grateful. But I think it's also a reflection of when you feel like you know what you love to do and nothing is going to stop you, you have to commit to it."
On how the 2016 election has affected astrology's popularity
"In 2013, it was like pulling teeth to try to get astrology content somewhere. The stigma surrounding it was that it was for your freaky aunt who had a beaded entry into her bedazzled hallway. It was so retro and kitschy. Fast-forward to 2016, when we have an election that really throws people off balance. I think, as a society, we start to realize that there really isn't grounding on earth and that there actually could be some more answers if we look up and stop trying to rationalize everything going on in our own world, start exploring alternative ways of thinking about things."
On being wary of social media
"Given how popular social media has made astrology right now, some people are making amazing astrology memes. That does not mean they are astrologers. I have spent countless hours investing in becoming an astrologer. At a certain point, I was taking classes four nights a week. It's a little dangerous, especially if you're paying someone who doesn't know what they're talking about."
On how a good horoscope is formed
"How an astrologer writes a horoscope is that they look at this thing called an ephemeris, a table that shows the position of every single planet in the sky each day. A daily horoscope looks at where the moon is in relation to Saturn on this given day. A monthly horoscope, you're going to see the most important milestones of what happens over the course of the month. From there we know the planets as well as the signs have certain expressions and energies, so we create these algorithms between putting the planet with the sign and seeing what relationship and connection they are making to other planets and those signs. What differentiates a good astrologer from a great one is someone who can figure out how to make that information relatable and relevant, not just these 'So what?' ideas."
On ways the connection between planets and signs has played out in pop culture
"In October 2017, Jupiter, which is the planet of expansion and abundance, which sort of enlarges whatever it touches, moved into the sign of Scorpio, which is associated with the underworld and secrets and sex. That occurred the same week the Harvey Weinstein scandal broke. Over the course of that year, we saw all these secrets being enlarged and exposed. When Jupiter went into retrograde was around the time all the celebrities wore black to the Golden Globes, and we were like, 'Wait, is this what this is about? It has to be about making change.' … When we attribute cosmic movement to things that happen in our society, we can really watch them unfold before our eyes."
On skeptics
"I don't spend much time talking to people who are skeptical of astrology. I'm not their target audience. [Laughs.] In society we have been told that if something can't be proven, if something isn't physically real or a statement hasn't been made, then it doesn't exist. I find that to be complete BS and ultimately prohibitive of people's emotions, how different people are and how we move through the world. In the question of if astrology is real, it doesn't really matter. If it's a vocabulary that makes sense and can be used to create empathy for oneself and others, then it works.
"When we talk about astrology, we're talking about thousands of years of exploration and study, history and academics. We can say all of it is rubbish, and some people do. But others, like myself, take a lot of credence in the fact that this is something that would literally connect us to the Babylonians if we traveled back in time 5,000 years. There are not a lot of things we could talk to our ancient ancestors about, but if we talked to them about what it's like to be an Aries, they would understand ― and they would agree."
On why we care about astrology as it pertains to dating
"When you start dating someone, the first thing you wonder is if your sign matches. I think we want to understand things that feel abstract and vague. And I think, especially for very curious people, they want to know if there is some greater force and purpose behind both good and shitty relationships."
On making astrology more accessible
"My book was the first big project I had where I felt super-excited to find a great gateway between astrology and something fun and relatable. I'm not an asshole — I know people need to be able to enter astrology without it being super-pretentious and academic. For me, I started reading astrology back when I wanted to know if my Libra boyfriend at the time and I were compatible. For other people, cocktails are just as good an entry point — whatever someone can connect to that is real and based in truth but that doesn't make them feel shut out."
On advice for burgeoning astrologers
"Work with an astrologer. Apprentice for someone who is the real deal that you can either take private classes with or who can recommend certain books and workshops. There are a ton of webinars available you can join for, like, 10 bucks. Just make sure you're working with people, and don't believe everything you read on the internet."
On astrology red flags
"If someone thinks cusps [falling between two astrological signs because your birthday is at the beginning or end of a given sign] are real, they don't know what they're talking about. There is no such thing. The sun can only be in one sign or the other. In the 1930s horoscopes became so popular after Pluto was discovered, and at first, there was a real astrologer doing sun sign horoscopes, but they were getting so much traction that newspapers started hiring staff writers. One would say Aug. 23 is Virgo. Another would say Aug. 22. People who read between publications would be like, 'Wait, what the fuck am I? A Leo or a Virgo?' So to account for the margin of error, it was just easier to say you're on the cusp. But no way. It just does not exist."

On behalf of Dan Doyle Law Group posted in Truck Accident on Saturday, February 09, 2019.
If you've ever followed a semi truck or tractor trailer down the freeway, you may have noticed a horizontal bar beneath the rear. This steel bar isn't for looks; it's an underride bar and it serves a very important purpose—preventing vehicles from becoming wedged beneath these big trucks in the event of a rear-end collision. The history of these "underride guards," also known as Mansfield bars has an unexpected connection to Hollywood.
Back in the 1960s, underride guards did not exist. So when Hollywood starlet Jayne Mansfield, her children and two other adults hit the roadway for a trip to New York in June of 1967, there was nothing to prevent the car she was riding in—a 1966 Buick Electra—from ending up beneath a slow-moving semi in its path. The three adults in the vehicle, including Mansfield, died instantly. Mansfield's children in the backseat, including Mariska Hargitay, prime-time super star of "Law & Order: SVU," were not harmed.
Shortly after the heart-wrenching fatal crash, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration proposed new standards calling for the addition of underride prevention guards on large trucks. It wasn't until 1998, however, that the requirement called for the NHTSA was actually fully implemented. At the time, the NHTSA said that up to 300 deaths occurred each year due to underride crashes.
While the guards do a fairly good job of preventing the horrific deaths usually seen during underride events, some say that they don't go far enough, since they are only required on the rear of the vehicle. The rear corners, say some safety experts, are left exposed, as are the sides. Side underride accidents lead to around 200 fatalities per year according to some sources. This type of accident occurs when a car crashes into the side of a tractor trailer and then slides underneath the trailer. Typically, passengers inside are decapitated or crushed when the top of the car is sheered off.
If lawmakers have their way, trucks in the very near future will be required to have both side and front underride guards to prevent these horrible accidents from happening going forward. The NHSTA has given its full support to a bill that is awaiting its fate in the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee's hands. Detractors are lobbying against the bill, particularly the Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association, which cites challenges with implementing such requirements, including technical challenged and added weight and cost for operators.
If you or a family member has been injured in a truck accident or side or rear underride accident, our truck accident attorney can help. Give us a call to set up your free, no-obligation case consultation now.


One of the UK's leading firms of consulting engineers was looking to further enhance its international reputation and gain competitive differentiation by achieving certification of its anti-bribery management system to the BS10500 standard. Mindful of the risks of corruption in the construction sector, Pell Frischmann rightly felt that certification would help secure more contracts.
Interchange worked with the firm to assess its anti-bribery system against BS10500. We started by interviewing and conducting a workshop for senior management and then carried out a comprehensive gap analysis. Following this, we made recommendations for improvement and worked with Pell Frischmann to re-engineer existing policies and processes, write new ones and strengthen its approach to risk management.
Where possible, changes were incorporated within the firm's existing business management system (BMS) to make implementation more efficient and easier for staff to adopt.
We also conducted training and provided materials for future use.
Within six months of the start of the project, Pell Frischmann achieved BS10500 certification. The company was awarded the Queen's Award for Enterprise 2015-2020.
Pell Frischmann operates throughout Europe, the Middle East, India and Asia.

Q: DataFrame error: "overloaded method value filter with alternatives" I am trying to create a new data frame by filter out the rows which is null or empty string using the code below:
val df1 = df.filter(df("fieldA") != "").cache()

Then I got the following error:
 <console>:32: error: overloaded method value filter with alternatives:
      (conditionExpr: String)org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame <and>
      (condition: org.apache.spark.sql.Column)org.apache.spark.sql.DataFrame
     cannot be applied to (Boolean)
                  val df1 = df.filter(df("fieldA") != "").cache()
                                 ^

Does anyone know what I missed here? Thanks!

A: In Scala, in order to compare equality column-wise, you should use === and !== (or =!= in Spark 2.0+):
val df1 = df.filter(df("fieldA") !== "").cache()

Alternatively, you can use an expression:
val df1 = df.filter("fieldA != ''").cache()

Your error happened because the != operator is present in every Scala object and it's used to compare objects, always returning Boolean. However, the filter function expects a Column object or an expression in a String, so there is the !== operator in the Column class, which returns another Column and then can be used in the way you want.
To see all operations available for columns, the Column scaladoc is very useful. Also, there is the functions package.

Recalling the tumult: the 1905 U. S. Senate election
May 4, 2009 By admin Leave a Comment
Sometimes a third-hand story has more than the usual value. This is one of those times.
As the Senate debates whether Governors should be able to appoint a Senator to fill a vacancy in the U-S Senate, Wisconsin's Senator Russ Feingold shared a story from Senator Richard Byrd about the election by the General Assembly of William Warner as one of our United States Senators in 1905. The issue has gained currency in the Congress because of the Blagojevich scandal in Illinois and his appointment of a replacement for Barack Obama upon Obama's election to the presidency. The provision in the 17th Amendment has been used several times in Missouri.
William Warner was elected by the legislature in 1905, had an undistinguished career, and was not elected to a second term.
He was one of the last U.S. Senators from Missouri to be elected by the legislature. The 17th Amendment, which provides for popular elections, was ratified in 1913, making Missouri's 1914 Senatorial election the first to be decided by popular vote.
The amendment also contains a provision allowing governors to fill Senatorial vacancies. The provision has been used more than a half-dozen times in Missouri:
William Joel Stone died April 14, 1918 and Xenophon P. Wifely was appointed to succeed him.
Selden Spencer died May 10k 1925 and was replaced by George H. Williams.
Harry Hawes resigned Feb. 3, 1933 and was succeeded by Joel Bennett Clark who was elected to a full term by popular vote in 1932.
Jack Briggs was appointed January 18, 1945 to replace Harry Truman who had been sworn in as Vice-President and had resigned his Senate seat.
Thomas Hennings died in office September 13, 1960, succeeded by Edward V. Long who was elected to a full term in November.
Long, who had lost a re-election bid to Thomas Eagleton, resigned December 27, 1968 and was replaced by Eagleton. Long's resignation a few days before his term ended gave Eagleton aome seniorority in the Senate in his first term.
Stuart Symington, who had announced earlier he would retire, did so on December 27, 1976, and was succeeded by John C. Danforth, who had won election in November, gaining seniorority benefits similar to those of Eagleton.
Jean Carnahan was appointed to serve in the place of her late husband who had been killed in a plane crash in October, 2000, a few weeks before the election but nevertheless won election. She was defeated in 2003 by Jim Talent who served the remaining four years of the Mel Carnahan term before losing to Claire McCaskill in 2006.
Now, listen below to Senator Feingold share the story from Senator Byrd's book on the kind of mayhem that occurred in the Missouri legislature when it elected U-S Senators. (The Capitol in which all of this happened, by the way, burned after being hit by lightning Feb. 5, 1911).

As Steve likes to say, "no problemo". Just select the photos you want to email, click the iPhoto Email button, select the size you want, and it sends correctly sized copies to mail.
Yes, it works very well; I use it any time I want to E-Mail pictures. As a matter of fact, my neighbor wanted to E-mail an image shot with a Nikon D70 (6 Megapixel camera) to his friend's Hotmail account. Last time I checked, Hotmail would only allow up to 1 meg attachments. So, long story short, I had him E-Mail it to me, I pulled it into iPhoto, clicked on the E-Mail button, and shrunk it down to 1024 x 768, 860K or so in size, and mailed it to his friend.

New Gold Inc. has recently hired a mining contractor to work on expanding their operations underground at the Rainy River Project, with the aim of increasing yields.
New Gold's technical services manager Darrol Van Deventer said the move underground was always part of New Gold's plan and the Rainy River Project should be seen as a combined open pit and underground operation.
The underground project is on track and set to begin around August of 2019.
Van Deventer notes there is a real sense of excitement among his colleagues at the mine.
"I think there's an excitement, a bit of a buzz around Rainy and around the group for this underground project," he enthused.
Work on the "portal" or entrance into the underground mine began two weeks ago and is about 90 percent complete, according to Van Deventer.
The entrance is made using a "box cut," which is a small open cut that is created to provide an entrance point to a slope in an underground mine.
From the box cut, Van Deventer said they will dig on an incline until they intercept an ore body.
Unlike New Gold's open pit mine, the underground operations will be more accurate in their extractions.
The only minerals being withdrawn from the underground mine will be ore that is available for treatment.
The underground operations are in stark contrast to New Gold's current open pit mine where just over 130,000 metric tons of volcanic rock are extracted each day, equating to just over 291-million pounds.
New Gold's haul trucks transport roughly 600 truckloads out of New Gold's open pit mine each day with each load weighing about 220 metric tonnes.
The higher grade ore and some rock is sent to the mill for treatment while lower grade rock goes to the stockpile to be treated at a later stage.
The remaining rock is then routed to a waste dump.
Apart from the expansion, New Gold has also been able to considerably increase the efficiency of their open pit operations in the last year, Van Deventer lauded.
"The quality of mining has improved as the guys gained experience and it's not only the operational guys out in the field who are gaining that experience, but even the technical team," he noted.
He explained that the New Gold team at the Rainy River site have developed stronger relationships and have learned how to work together more effectively.
A major factor in the improved performance for delivery from the open pit mine to the treatment plants is the increased life span of the haul truck's tires.
"We've seen large improvements on that front, and that's specifically been one of the success stories at Rainy River," Van Deventer smiled.
From January to July of 2017, the average life span of a tire was just under 1,750 hours.
Fast forward one year later, and the tire's life span has increased by 1,800 to about 3,550 hours.
With each tire costing roughly $43,000, the doubling of their lifespan will go a long way.
Moving forward Van Deventer says New Gold has plans to increase capacity on the processing side of the Rainy River operation.
"We're having a look at increasing the current capacity our mill holds [and] processes at the moment," he said.
The mill currently treats roughly 21,500 tonnes of rock a day and the plan is to expand their throughput to a steady rate of 24,000 tonnes a day.
The expansion project is coming along on time and adjustments to the back end of the process facility are expected to be completed by the beginning of October which will result in an immediate increase to the facility's throughput rate.
New Gold expects to continue their mining operations at the Rainy River site for approximately 13 more years, wrapping up in 2031.
