Home Culture Hypocrisy predicted
Hypocrisy predicted
Same-sex-marriage opponents' love for voters won't last
by D.A. Kolodenko
One of the more interesting kinds of hypocrisy is the kind you can predict before it even happens. In its official response to the May 26 California Supreme Court ruling upholding Proposition 8, ProtectMarriage.com, the official proponent of the new law (which I will henceforth refer to as ProtectReligionBasedHeteronormativity.com, since I think it's a more apt name for the organization), praised the court's decision:
"We commend the California Supreme Court for upholding the right of the people to define marriage in our constitution.... The Court recognized that the power to amend the constitution ultimately belongs to the people.... For the second time now, the people have decided that marriage is reserved for a man and a woman and the Court has appropriately respected their decision."
Leaving aside the fact that they completely ignore that the court let stand the 18,000 same-sex marriages that occurred during the window of legality (as if lying by omission isn't dishonest), the response is most remarkable in its embrace of the tyranny of the majority: The power to amend the state constitution belongs to the people? You really believe that? Because I don't know if you're aware of this, but Proposition 8 is toast! You might take comfort in a narrow majority (in both senses of the word) having twice voted to not let the state recognize same-sex married couples as married, but it's hard to imagine you'll be singing the same tune when the thing gets voted into oblivion.
The numbers are pretty clear, and they are fascinatingly consistent: 61 to 39. In the CNN exit polls from November, voters older than 65 voted for Prop. 8 by a margin of 61 percent to 39 percent against. But with voters younger than 30, the results were exactly the opposite: 61 percent against, 39 percent for. Unless you're foolish enough to believe that as individual voters grow older, they become more homophobic, you have to realize that these statistics reveal that homophobic ways of thinking are literally dying.
Prop. 8 passed with only 52 percent in favor, during a year when progressive energies were largely focused on the historic presidential election. It is likely, given the drive of same-sex-marriage advocates like Rick Jacobs of the Courage Campaign and San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, that a challenge to Prop. 8 will be back on the ballot next year and that the effort to overturn the mean-spirited legislation will be 10-fold.
So, claim all you want on your website that "support for gay marriage has declined while support for traditional marriage has increased," but I'm calling bullshit on you.
Our LGBT sisters and brothers are soon going to be treated equally in every sense of the word by the state of California. Today's young Californians just don't share your fears, superstitions, selfishness or hang-ups about sex. As Ronald Reagan used to sing (assuming he was a Whitney Houston fan), "I believe the children are the future."And I think you believe it, too.
"We will now turn our attention to public education and outreach," says ProtectReligionBasedHeteronormativity.com executive committee chairman Ron Prentice. And any future efforts to repeal Prop. 8 will be "vigorously contested," promises the organization's lawyer, Andrew Pugno.
If they were so certain that the battle had been won, they wouldn't be eyeing the future so nervously. And eye it nervously, they ought. The voting statistics are written on the wall.
And so are some other statistics that reveal the hopelessness of your cause, you protectors of opposite marriage exclusivity. Might as well get down on your knees and pray to your Mighty Zombie God to provide you with a new job and digs in Alabama, because the anti-same-sex-marriage movement will probably breathe its last American breath there, just as anti-interracial marriage laws were not removed from the Alabama state constitution until voters there officially amended it to remove "miscegenation" rules once-upon-a-time—in the year 2000.
Or perhaps you'd rather stay in California and prepare to perceive yourselves as an oppressed minority? I doubt you'll be singing the praises of the will of the majority of voters when it reflects the will of straight voters who actually respect the God-given rights of LGBT citizens.
The statistics I refer to are church-attendance statistics. Most recently, in a 2004 survey of Christian churches (evangelical, mainline and Catholic), Dave Olson, director of church planting for the Evangelical Covenant Church, determined that the percentage of Americans who regularly attend church is a mere 18.7 percent.
Olson's research led to a list of "12 Surprising facts about the American Church," including the following:• The percentage of people attending a Christian church each weekend decreased significantly from 1990 to 2000. • New church growth provides less than half of the growth necessary to keep up with population growth. • If the present trends continue, the percentage of the population that attends church in 2050 will be almost half of what it is today.
In other words, the base of support for denying rights to same-sex couples is shrinking nationally. Even if it doesn't happen next year, LGBT marriage is coming to California, as it already has to Massachusetts and Connecticut—not to mention internationally (so far: Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain, South Africa and Sweden).
I look forward to the hypocritical statements of Prop. 8 proponents bemoaning the will of the voters. I expect to be reading them next year.Write to dak@sdcitybeat.com and editor@sdcitybeat.com.

With its stunning rendition of the former First Lady's favorite flower, the orchid, adorning the reverse, The United States Mint has officially begun taking orders for the Caroline Harrison First Spouse Gold Coin. This past Thursday, December 6, 2012, the 2012-W Caroline Harrison First Spouse Gold Coins – Proof and Uncirculated coins have become the latest in the popular First Spouse Gold Coin program.
Mrs. Caroline Harrison was the wife of Benjamin Harrison, the 23rd President of the United States, a coincidence that is not lost on the savvy collector who will mark this as the 24th issue of U.S. Mint's First Spouse Gold Coin Program. Each strike in the series has been offered in both proof and uncirculated qualities and the Harrison coin is no different. It is composed of one half ounces of 99.99% pure gold.
The series first made headlines with collectors as it is the first of its kind to honor the spouses of former Presidents of the United States of America. As we push forward into the years ahead, remembering the women who stood by the leaders of the free world with these 24-karat gold coins makes this a highly sought after collection piece, especially since they are being released in the order their husbands served. Began in 2007, this release is the third of four coins dated with 2012.
Mrs. Harrison was born on March 4, 1889 and met the future president at Farmer's College in Cincinnati, Ohio. The future president followed his love's family when they moved, a sign of their undying devotion to each other. But their love for each other was also shared with another entity: their country. During the Civil War, Benjamin Harrison enlisted and fought bravely for his country while Caroline joined the Ladies Patriotic Association and the Ladies Sanitary Committee and helped in the background effort of the war.
After the war, Benjamin was elected president, a task that was only matched by Caroline's complete overseeing of the renovation of the White House, the place in which she ultimately died from tuberculosis on October 25, 1892.
To order this latest coin in a long line of collectibles, the United States Mint takes direct orders on their website or can be reached by telephone at 1-800-USA-MINT (872-6468). Hearing and speech-impaired customers with TTY equipment can call 1-888-321-MINT (6468). Shipping and handling costs of $4.95 are added for domestic orders.
The Harrison First Spouse Gold Coins strikes pricing is currently listed at $1,029 for the proof coin and $1,016 for the uncirculated coin, though these prices are subject to change without notice. These changes are based on the U.S. Mint's numismatic gold coin pricing which is based on recent precious metal market activity.
Each coin ordered from the U.S. Mint will be encapsulated and encased in a customized, polished, lacquer hardwood display case, complete with a COA (Certificate of Authenticity).
Last year's First Spouse Gold Coins featured a maximum mintage of 15,000 per strike and this year's mintages are only set at 13,000. Also available is the Bronze Medal replica of the Caroline Harrison Gold Coin, typically available only individually, but now being offered as part of a set scheduled for release on December 11, 2012 for $9.95.
Why do you think this year's maximum mintage per strike has gone down? Tell us below!


In part 1, we created an NFS datastore, now we'll use the Rapid Clones feature of the VSC to populate it with some VMs.
- Hit the "Create rapid clones" button.
Note: One thing that's very nice about this tool is that it will check disk alignment before starting, and warn you if the VM you've picked for rapid cloning is not disk aligned correctly (the clones would end up being similarly misaligned).
Note ii: For the wizard, clones names can only contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and - characters!
Note iii: If you already have saved customizations in 'vSphere Client > Home > Management > Customization Specifications Manager', and the correct sysprep versions or similar installed on your vCenter, the 'Apply customization specification?' tick box can be checked.
Note: Clicking the 'Advanced >>' button allows you to specify different datastores for configuration files and disks.
And that's it. Wait a little bit and the clones are provisioned!


Can you complete this for me?
Today we are adding a small but important feature to our Checklist app for android: Auto complete for tasks. You can now start typing your new task and the app will offer you different options to choose from. Quick and easy!
The most common action on checklist, is adding a task. So why not make it even easier with an auto-complete? We know that Android has a keyboard auto-complete function for most devices, but we thought that we need a more specific solution for checklists. E.g. if you wish to add 'Orange Juice' to your tasks, the Android keyboard will only offer to complete 'ora' with 'orange' but our app with give you all options like 'Orange juice' or 'Frozen orange juice'.
Auto complete works from the second character you type. We currently entered a large number of items you will find for a groceries checklist but we will expand this to more topics (feel free to let us know what you find important).
Although today this feature is only available for the android app, we will shortly add it to our Checklist app for iOS and to the web app. We are just fine tuning the vocabulary of words and how it works :-).
So go ahead and try it out. Don't forget to let us know what you think of this feature in the comment below.

Impressionists in London Exhibition at Tate Britain
February 14, 2018 / davidrpharmer
Charing Cross Bridge by Camille Pissarro
I took my grandson to see this fascinating exhibition at Tate Britain, a week or so ago, as he is studying Pointillism as part of his Art GCSE syllabus. The work of Camille Pissarro was much in evidence, so a lot for him to have a look at. This was his first visit to a major gallery, so significant, and as he pointed out, we were looking at originals, so the actual canvases that these painters worked on. I sometimes lose sight of that fact myself.
The exhibition was centred around the work of French painters who fled to Britain in the 1870s to escape the horrors of the Franco-Prussian War. Napoleon III had been captured after the Battle of Sedan, and on his release went into exile with his wife, Eugenie, and their son the Crown Prince, in England, living in Chislehurst. All three are entombed in Farnborough, in the abbey founded by Eugenie. After the fall of the Second Empire the fight went on, culminating in the horrific Siege of Paris in 1871. Civil war followed after a popular uprising by the Paris Commune. Thousands died. Many of the Communards were amongst those who fled to Britain, and who were received without question or restriction.
Many well-known painters arrived and stayed in London. Claude Monet had a suite of rooms in the Savoy Hotel, and painted the Thames and Houses of Parliament in all its moods. He loved the London fog, as did Whistler, credited by Oscar Wilde with the "invention of the fog"
Camille Pissarro, whose house in Louceviennes was commandeered by the Prussians, fled to south London with his mother and other relatives, ruined by the conflict. He lived at Kew, and paintings of his, of the Gardens and Kew Green are on display. He was another fascinated by the Thames and painted similar views to Monet, of the Houses of Parliament through the mist, as well as Charing Cross Bridge in the picture shown.
Not all the arrivals were Impressionists. James Tissot having been introduced by his friend Thomas Bowles, made a name for himself as a painter of High Society. With a great eye for colour and fashion, his paintings of ball gowns and uniforms are magnificent.
Many well-known dealers also followed the painters, and there are many more names that one could mention, but in the final room, is displayed the work of Andre Derain, who was inspired by the London paintings of Monet. He was sent to London in 1906 by the dealer Vollard, and produced thirty canvases from this trip. These were in homage to Monet and covered the same subjects , Charing Cross Bridge, the Thames and the Houses of Parliament. Not to my taste, I think he belonged to a group called the Fauvistes, which believed in the arbitrary use of colour. However, his work is successful, and rounds off this exhibiton nicely
Paintings are on loan from galleries across the world, so a one-off opportunity for most of us to see them. Worth going to, more than once if you can

I love those Andre Derain paintings of London. They were a high point for him, I feel, but he later abandoned that fauvist style of painting and went back to a more traditional of painting, which is such a shame.
severansnape
You won't believe this but I kind of grew up looking at one of Monet's painting: Camille Monet and a child in the garden. I had a print of this in my hostel room. And his painting of the lilies are, if I'm not wrong, in the orangerie museum in the Tuileries garden. Did you see it? And I never asked you, have you been to Louvre, just across the Tuileries?
davidrpharmer
I have been to the Louvre. We went there about four years ago when last in Paris. Remarkable musueum
I didn't go to the Orangerie Museum, but many years ago went to Monet's house at Giverny, outside of Paris, where he painted his water-lilies, and of course where so much of his work is on show

HEADLINE Chang'e-4 'Queqiao' relay satellite successfully launched
Chang'e-4 'Queqiao' relay satellite successfully launched
By Feng Hua | People's Daily app
Beijing (People's Daily) - Early Monday morning, China successfully launched Chang'e-4 'Queqiao' relay satellite to provide communication for its upcoming lunar probe mission.
The Chang'e-4 lunar probe will undertake the first ever soft landing on the far side of the Moon. However, direct communication with the far side of the Moon is not possible, which is one of the many challenges of the Chang'e-4 lunar probe mission.
Relay satellites are communication satellites that can provide data relay and monitoring services for spacecraft, improving the efficiency and emergency capability of various satellites. They also enable data from earth resource and environmental satellites to be transmitted in real time.
As the far side of the Moon is shielded from electromagnetic interference from the Earth, it's an ideal place to study the space environment and solar bursts, and the probe can "listen" to the deeper reaches of the cosmos, said Liu Tongjie, deputy director of the Lunar Exploration and Space Program Center of CNSA.
The Chang'e-4 probe will also carry scientific payloads developed by the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany and Saudi Arabia.
"The Chinese and Dutch low-frequency radio spectrometers might help us detect 21-cm hydrogen line radiation and study how the earliest stars were ignited and how our cosmos emerged from darkness after the Big Bang," said Chen Xuelei, an astronomer with the National Astronomical Observatories of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
A German neutron dosimeter will be installed on the lander to measure radiation at the landing site.

American Visionary Art Museum Offering Twist On Classic Tie For Father's Day Gift
By Mike Schuh June 4, 2019 at 6:51 pm
Filed Under:American Visionary Art Museum, Baltimore News, Father's Day, Local TV, Talkers, Toro Nagashi
BALTIMORE (WJZ) — The old cliche is to buy dad a tie for Father's Day to go along with his black socks and sandals.
Now, the American Visionary Art Museum has a twist on that classic gift.
After retiring in 2005, Bob Benson began creating art out of mirrors.
The leaves on his trees outside of his home are tiny mirrors and he turned a garden shed into a copy of the infinity rooms created by the famous Japenese artist Toro Nagashi.
"When I started this someone said these are such shiny, happy things," Benson said. "I thought that would be a good name for my website."
Every other month, Benson leads a workshop at the American Visionary Art Museum. This weekend, he'll guide you as you build a glass mirror tie for dad for Father's Day.
"I usually work several hours a day on this," Benson said. "Mentally, that's where the artistry comes in."

CONTROVERSY AS CADET DIES FROM TORTURE FROM SENIORS LESS THAN 24HRS AFTER RESUMPTION FOR TRAINING
A cadet at the Nigeria Defence Academy, (NDA), Kaduna, James Didam Bulus, 18, with registration number NDA/11537, has died of alleged brutality from senior cadets, 24 hours after he reported to the institution, Daily Trust has gathered.
This is just as the Public Relations Officer of the Academy, Captain Musa Yahaya explained that the cadet sustained internal injuries from an accident he had before he arrived at the academy on Saturday for training.
Daily Trust further gathered that a contingent of Nigeria Army buried the late cadet with full military honour yesterday at the Military Cemetery, on Wharf Road, Kaduna.
Brigadier General, MG Kangye, the Cadets Commandant of the school, handed over the Nigeria National Flag, a pair of army boot and army ceremonial cap to the mourning father of the deceased, Mr. Didam Joshua.
Relations of the dead cadet were too distraught to speak to our correspondent, but a close family friend, who pleaded for anonymity said James was beaten to death on his "introductory" night.
He said, "He arrived NDA on Saturday, 3rd September, 2016 and on Monday, 5th September; I was told that he was death. I was told that he had died on Sunday after he did not survive what I was told was 'introduction' beatings from his seniors. At the mortuary, you could see stitches on his head and he had bruises on other parts of the body.
But NDA spokesman said "When he died, we conducted an autopsy at 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital where it was discovered that few days to his death, he sustained internal injuries which caused his death."
He noted that the present commandant has withdrawn what is called 'welcome beating' which used to be initiated on fresh cadets in the academy.

I recently wrote a review of FitLink.com. The site impressed me and the review I wrote caught the attention of Chris Charlier, one of the founders of FitLink.com. With this, I took the opportunity to ask Chris a few questions about him, the site, and his team's vision for the future.
Aaron Engelsrud: First, let me start off by saying what a fan I am of FitLink.com and what an excellent job you and your staff have done with the site. With that, why don't you tell us a little about yourself and what you do for FitLink?
Chris: I have been a software developer and dedicated marathoner for years. I am one of the founders of FitLink.com, and am primarily responsible for the user interface design and for making the site runner-friendly. During development, I challenged myself to run 12 marathons in 12 months while leading a marathon training group. I am proud to say I recently completed my 12th marathon of 2006 (One was actually my first 50 mile ultra-marathon), and many members of my group successfully finished their very first marathon. I have FitLink.com to thank for keeping me motivated and helping me successfully manage the training group.
AE: How long has the site been in development and what made you decide something like this was necessary?
Chris: The idea for FitLink originated in my college days. One of my roommates was a dedicated weight lifter and liked to drag his friends along. He was the only reason most of us ever made it to the gym. Once we graduated and started jobs in different parts of the country, I missed that motivation. I realized that applying a social network to working out would be an amazing tool for friends to keep each other motivated. We started development of the site in 2004, but kept it quiet while we built the feature set. We finally released it just a few months ago.
AE: You offer so many services, no noticeable advertising, so much additional content, and right now it's all free. What are your plans for the future in this respect? Will there be additional or different features for paying customers? More advertising?
Chris: We currently offer a premium service to health clubs who want to create a localized network for their members. The service also adds club management features, such as the ability to send targeted messages to members based on their interests. For example, a club could inform all female yoga enthusiasts who prefer morning workouts of appropriate upcoming classes. We also plan on offering premium services for personal trainers, professional fitness groups, and event organizers. In addition, you will see an integrated online store that helps people obtain the proper workout equipment for their needs.
As for advertising, I personally hate ads blinking in every corner of a site. We are going to keep FitLink.com as clean as possible. In the future we might allow tasteful and relevant ads on the site, but would have very strict rules on the use of screen space. I would much prefer a few key partnerships with larger fitness companies whose products or services are intelligently recommended when determined useful for the end user. Many of our members have commented on our uncluttered site and I want to work to keep it that way.
AE: What's in the works for the future? Any new bits you can tell us about? Are you doing anything for blog integration or additional mapping features?
Chris: The list of ideas for the future is LONG!!! We have so much work to do. Members already have the ability to blog on FitLink.com in what we call a workout journal, and we are soon going to add the ability to publish it as an RSS feed. We are also considering adding other data to the feed such as workout results and profile changes. Route mapping enhancements such as marking water and restroom stops are also on the list. We will constantly be adding to our exercise library, including things like stretching, yoga, and any other activity related to staying in shape. I would also like for people to be able to create custom exercises and share them with the community. Many improvements are planned for personal trainers as well. Currently a trainer can assign workouts and track the progress of a client, and we will be adding session scheduling and billing services. These are merely a sampling.
Finally, of course, we listen to all the feedback we get from our members and implement ideas as quickly as possible. One of the truly great things about working on this site is the community. We get to let people using the site dictate what the next feature will be.
AE: There are a few other sites in the same space as you—weendure.com, traineo.com, plus other sport-specific logs. What sets FitLink apart. What makes you the best?
Chris: There are a number of sites that have workout advice, sites that let you track your workouts, sites that list upcoming races, or sites to find exercise partners and personal trainers. To me, these are all related tools that help people stay motivated and fit. We want to build a single community with all of those things, and a whole lot more, in one place. It matters that I can find very contextual things, such as experienced runners at my gym who are training for the Chicago Marathon in the evenings. I love the fact that on FitLink.com, groups can discuss ideas, schedule runs, find new members, and share their progress … all in the context of an upcoming local race.
The goal for me is to create a vibrant community where people can find all the resources they need and have the motivation to use them. We encourage anyone with expertise to write articles and share their ideas. We encourage event leaders, athletic trainers, health club owners, group leaders, equipment manufacturers, and every fitness enthusiast out there to take part in the community. Adding all of these participants together with meaningful tools at their disposal is what sets FitLink apart.
AE: The Complete Running Network is home to hundreds of runners and fitness junkies from around the world. Tell us how we can benefit the most from the services that FitLink offers.
Chris: In the end, FitLink is about staying motivated. I get excited about my training when I get to see other friends of mine working hard towards their goals. I have already made a number of new friends and I have helped some people achieve their goals. For an established group such as The Complete Running Network, FitLink enables your readers to create a profile, set goals, and communicate with each other efficiently. In addition, the ability to record workouts and track others' progress is a nice complement to your resources. You or your readers could also post some articles on FitLink to help make others aware of your terrific network.
AE: Finally, I seem to find a new and interesting tidbit over at FitLink almost everyday. What is your favorite hidden or under utilized feature, and how do I use it?
Chris: One of the coolest things that many people have not found or understood is our subscription service. Much like RSS feeds that you subscribe to, in FitLink we made it possible to be notified of updates. However, since we take into account personal relationships and affiliations, you can track changes at a much more fine grained level than with a typical feed. For example, you can watch the discussion attached to a single article, journal entry, photo, group discussion topic, or even watch for pictures to be added to a particular gallery. Any time you see the "subscribe" action you can choose to be kept up-to-date. You will then be notified on your home page as your friends add new journal entries or comment on articles, for example. We want to let people indicate exactly what they are interested in reading and help filter out the noise you find on social networks today.
AE: Anything you'd like to add?
Chris: I would just like to say thank you for your interest in FitLink. I hope to see more of the fitness junkies who enjoy The Complete Running Network participate in our community. And, as always, let us know what we can improve for you!
A few things of note. First, please feel free to visit my FitLink site and check out what it has to offer! You can find me at http://www.fitlink.com/aengelsrud or subscribe to the FitLink RSS feed.

Activision Teams Up with IndieCade for Next Indie Dev Contest
Evan Narcisse
Filed to:Activision
Even before their merger with Blizzard, Activision had nudged EA out as the industry's top earner a few years back. Now that they're bonded with the makers of World or Warcraft, there's no denying that Activision's currently holds the 800-lb-gorilla spot in the video game jungle.
But, just like monkeys and gorillas share bananas (they do share, right?), Activision's made overtures to the indie developer community. Last year, the Bobby Kotick-led company held a contest to crown gifted indie developers with wreaths of cash but the winners were only just announced in July. The long wait made many question just what was happening, especially since question of IP ownership were up in the air for much of that time.
These Two Indie Games Are Worth $250,000 to Activision
While not actively engaged in being an evil video game empire, Activision engages in a little…
This time, video games' Goliath is teaming with a gathering of Davids, calling on the annual IndieCade festival to help suss out the most promising games from the avalanche of submissions. This year's IndieCade starts this week and it's likely that the winners of this indie dev contest will get a spot in next year's programming.
Maybe the partnership with IndieCade will make things more efficient this time, too. If there's one thing that indie devs now how to do, it's work fast. Speaking of working fast, the submission period stays open until December 31 so, if you're working on the next physics-based cartoon animal masterpiece, get it in before the end of the year.
[Update: Reps for IndieCade have indicated that the Activision competition is separate from IndieCade and that the contest winner won't be at next year's independent developer fest.]

There are four football blockbusters on Sunday – Manchester City against Manchester United, Milan versus Napoli, Paris Saint-Germain against Monaco and Roma versus Lazio – and, fortunately, there are decent bets in three of the games.
Manchester City is available at odds of 2.20 with several bookmakers, including Bet365, to beat Manchester United in the first Cottonpolis derby of the English Premier League season. Manchester City's UEFA Champions League midweek performance was superior to that Manchester United and then there is the factor of Red Devils boss David Moyes, whose managerial record in big matches is appalling because he approaches such games negatively.
Moyes would bite off one's hand if one offered him a derby draw right now. That is the attitude of the new Manchester United chief in big matches, particularly those away from home. It is why Everton did not win at Anfield during the 10-plus years that Moyes was its boss and why Manchester United is worth opposing against a Manchester City team that, roared on by its fanatical home crowd, represents great value at odds against. Manchester City has kept four clean sheets out of five this term and its inspirational captain, Vincent Kompany, is back on board after missing three games with a groin injury. If Manchester United plays versus Manchester City in the manner that it did against Liverpool, the Citizens could blow away the Red Devils.
The Italian Serie A clash between Milan and Napoli is one that should be full of goals, given the issues that Milan has at the back and the impressive start to life under Rafael Benitez that Napoli has made, its latest superb result being its 2-1 home defeat of Dortmund in the UEFA Champions League. Dortmund had its goalkeeper sent off in first-half stoppage time but Napoli was in front before Dortmund went down to 10 men. Top of the Italian Serie A ladder with nine points and nine goals, Napoli is making a strong case for being the biggest title threat to Juventus.
Three of Milan's four matches in all competitions have gone over 2.5 goals and the same goes for Napoli. BetVictor is offering odds of 1.95 that Milan and Napoli combine for at least three goals and that looks like an offer worth taking.
The French Ligue Un scrap between Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco is one in which bookmakers seem to have chalked up slightly the wrong odds about the home team, with PSG too short even at 1.91 with Ladbrokes. Some punters may opt to back Monaco at odds of 5.00 with BetVictor but the results of this term's French Ligue Un games suggests that there is very little to choose between Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco and, therefore, one should think about backing the draw at odds of 3.50 with Bet365. It is difficult to hold a strong opinion about a draw other than a goalless one but one cannot escape the view that the draw is over the odds.
Away from Sunday's show stoppers and Nice is the pick of the non-blockbuster bets at odds of 1.83 with BetVictor to beat Valenciennes. Nice was one of French Ligue Un's surprise packages last season, climbing from 13th in the previous campaign to fourth. Nice made a dreadful start to this term, losing 0-4 away to Lyonnais in the first round of French Ligue Un and crashing out of the UEFA Europa League by virtue of a 1-2 aggregate loss to Apollon. But Nice has bounced back to form in recent weeks and last weekend it defeated Lille 2-0 on the road. Valenciennes is in the French Ligue Un bottom three after five rounds having lost four matches on the spin since beating fellow relegation candidate Toulouse 3-0. Valenciennes has won only one of its last 16 away games in all competitions, losing nine times.

'He's worked his tail off': Tigers front-loading Michael Fulmer's spring work load
Chris McCosky
Lakeland, Fla. — Every morning, pitching coaches Chris Fetter and Juan Nieves make themselves available to any pitcher who wants a little extra time, time that's not already budgeted into their busy practice schedules, to work on their mechanics.
Just about every morning, Michael Fulmer has taken them up on the offer, going out to Fetter's lab early to do dry (non-throwing) reps.
"He's worked pretty diligently all offseason and here to get his mechanics back and get his arm faster to be more consistent with his pitches," manager AJ Hinch said. "He's worked his tail off."
This will be Fulmer's first full season back after major knee surgery and Tommy John surgery. His 10 mini-starts last year were essentially rehab starts. He's still trying to figure out what kind of pitcher he's going to be, post-surgery. And so are the Tigers.
That's partly why Hinch and Fulmer agreed to front-load his spring. Tyler Alexander will start in the Grapefruit League opener at Joker Marchant Stadium Sunday and Fulmer will get the ball Monday against the Yankees in Tampa.
"We want to get him up and running quickly," Hinch said. "It gives him an assessment and it gives us an assessment where he's at today versus where he was last regular season. It's not going to be all on these early starts. We have all sorts of ways to evaluate it.
"But we're getting him up and running quickly because one, he's physically ready and two, as he said, he had enough time off the last year or two. He wanted more mound time."
One of the issues Fulmer has struggled with, really since the knee surgery, is generating power from his lower body in his delivery. He wasn't getting his front foot down fast enough. There was a little hump in his delivery where he'd stick the heel of his front foot out causing the toe to go up, delaying the landing.
Subscribers: Tigers' Miguel Cabrera may be nearing end, but he's not done
Fetter and Nieves have worked to get Fulmer to shorten his stride to help him get the foot down faster, which would increase his power down the mound and toward the plate.
"He's pretty determined to get back to logging those innings and being a reliable starter," Hinch said. "Rehabbing is one thing. That he had to do it in the big leagues was pretty unfair. But what he got out of last year, I mean, he's mentally tough. There's an edge to him about getting back to being a formidable part of the rotation.
"He wants to be a guy, someone we rely on."
We're running a new-subscriber special — $1 for three months.Come join the fun, and subscribe here.
Teheran, Urena arrive
The Tigers finally welcomed two of their new starting pitchers. Slowed by visa and COVID-19 quarantine and intake testing, veteran right-handers Jose Urena (signed for one year at $3.25 million) and Julio Teheran (non-roster invitee) — as well as first baseman Aderlin Rodriguez and right-hander Gerson Moreno, both non-roster invitees — were on the field Friday.
Teheran threw a bullpen on the backfields while Urena went through a meaty session of pitcher fielding practice.
"We're going to get them ready pretty quickly, mostly because of the work they did prior to camp," Hinch said. "They're ready to go."
Both Teheran, 30, and Urena, 29, are coming off rough seasons. Hinch said he hopes both will have at least one spring start under their belts by the first off day, which is March 8.
Switch-hitter paradise
The Tigers, quite suddenly, have a bushel of switch-hitters — Robbie Grossman, Niko Goodrum, Willi Castro, Jeimer Candelario and Victor Reyes.
So, maybe there was a method to Hinch's madness in pursuing, ne stalking, Jose Cruz, Jr., to be his assistant hitting coach. Cruz was a switch-hitter over his 12-year career in which he produced 204 homers and drove in 624 runs He even had a 30-homer, 30-stolen base season with the Blue Jays.
"A very underrated aspect of Cruz is the fact that he was a switch-hitter," Hinch said. "And obviously a successful switch-hitter. He has the hardware and that's really important to have for players. ... This is as many switch-hitters as I've ever been around and that's an underrated advantage we have in having a premium switch-hitter as an assistant hitting coach."

Assistant professor Manuel Limas hopes to find ways to break the malaria parasite's 48-hour cycle, depicted in the illustrations at Icahn Lab.
Scientists have been working on a cure for malaria for more than 100 years, but the disease continues to vex those who live in the world's tropical regions. It affects at least a half-billion people each year, according to the World Health Organization, and more than 1 million die — mostly children. Plasmodium, the single-celled parasite that causes malaria, has become resistant to many of the drugs currently used to treat it.
But not all the news is grim for malaria researchers, says Manuel Llinás, an assistant professor of molecular biology and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics. The genome sequence for Plasmodium, completed in 2002, revealed that about 2,500 genes — nearly half of its entire genome — never had been seen in another organism. Those unique genes could provide attractive targets for new drugs, since attacking them would be unlikely to affect human genes.
Plasmodia are able to survive in multiple types of cells — "not a trivial task" for single-celled organisms, Llinás says. An infection begins when a mosquito bites a human host and passes parasites into the bloodstream. The parasite travels to the liver, where it infects a single liver cell and produces thousands of new parasites that then infect red blood cells. The disease then follows a 48-hour cycle in which the parasites multiply and invade more red blood cells.
In another project with Josh Rabinowitz, an assistant professor of chemistry and colleague at the Lewis-Sigler Institute, Llinás is taking a closer look at how malaria parasites consume metabolites, the amino acids, sugars, and other small molecules the human body needs. The hope is to identify unique chemical products made by the parasite, figure out how those chemical products are made, and then work on ways to inhibit the production process.
Both projects delve into areas that malaria researchers do not know much about, and Llinás believes those are the avenues where the modern tools of genomics and metabolomics can make a significant impact. The National Institutes of Health gave a nod of agreement last year, recognizing Llinás as one of 29 recipients of the NIH New Innovators Award and providing $1.5 million in research funding over a five-year period.

Are you currently seeking funding for your film production? If so, Third World Newsreel can provide you some of the benefits of tax-exempt status. Read below to learn about our Fiscal Sponsorship program and how tax-exempt status can facilitate fund raising efforts.
Tax deductible donations to your project from individuals and other entities that may be able to benefit from the tax deduction.
Eligibility for funding from entities, such as foundations, government agencies, and other parties that may only provide grants and funding to non-profit entities.
As a project's umbrella agency, TWN is the recipient of any funds donated or granted to the project. TWN maintains the funds in an account for the project. Account funds are disbursed to the project director or her representative for the payment of legitimate project related expenses and services. As such, TWN is responsible for ensuring that funds are used for project purposes and used in accordance with donors' and grantees' intent. TWN can be the sole recipient of all project donations and grant funds or the recipient of only the funds associated with a specific grant. In either case, TWN will issue the necessary project related 1099's in accordance with IRS guidelines.
The project director must account for expenditures by providing TWN receipts evidencing payment for project goods and services. TWN will also provide letters of thanks and acknowledgment to donors, and ensure project representatives complete any required donation or grant related reports, and issue any required 1099s for funds disbursed from TWN directly.
The Fiscal Sponsorship program does not provide any fund raising services, grant application services, or distribution services. Nor does acceptance into the Fiscal Sponsorship include TWN distribution of the finished product. TWN distribution requires a separate application, review, and approval. TWN does not have any ownership or rights in the production at any time, nor is TWN responsible for project content. The project's producers and/or directors are responsible for the content.
TWN charges an administrative fee based on a sliding scale between 5%-7% of the project income (donations and grants) based on a contract with the project director. These amounts cover the expenses of TWN's services to maintain an accounting of donations and grants, send acknowledgment letters to donors and grantees, reconcile project receipts with project cash disbursements, generate and file IRS 1099 forms, and other services TWN must perform as the umbrella agency for the project.
There is a $25 application fee for each project submitted for consideration for TWN Fiscal Sponsorship. This fee is waived for NYSCA individual artist applicants pending funding. Additional fees will be charged to individual projects for specific services such as messengers, mailings, cash advances, etc. Please note: no student projects are accepted.
Questions about the program and application status should be directed to Fiscal Sponsorship. Please, no phone calls, contact us via email.
This overview is not all inclusive, abbreviating the process and omitting some other steps or requirements that may be part of the process.
Upon acceptance into the program, TWN and the project representative sign a contract, establishing a contractual relationship for the project. TWN sets up an account for the project.
The project representative and associated parties continue their own fund raising and application for grant funds. TWN does not do any fund raising or grant applications on behalf of the project, though is available for consultations on such.
As funds are received from donors and from grants, they are paid to TWN on behalf of the project. TWN maintains the funds in an account. TWN sends out letters to donors, with copies to the project representative, acknowledging their contributions. TWN also makes a record of any reports the donors and grantors require and the due dates for the reports. Filmmakers are responsible for preparing and sending their reports to donors, grantees and to TWN. Failure to meet a reporting requirement can cause funds from the connected contributor to be withheld pending completion of requirements to the contributor's satisfaction.
As the project director incurs expenses or has needs for funds to purchase project related goods and services, the project director requests that TWN release specific amounts of funds to the project. TWN generally does not pay any vendors, contractors, or other parties directly for goods and services for the project. It is the project director's responsibility to pay for goods and services using the funds TWN releases to the project.
The project director must provide an accounting of expenditures and a narrative progress report annually to TWN, in addition to any required reporting of the project's funders. TWN will not release additional funds for the project until all prior released funds have been accounted for with receipts.
At the end of each calendar year, TWN makes all appropriate filings with the IRS for payments made to filmmakers and any independent contractors. Filmmakers are fully responsible for submitting receipts and invoices for reimbursements in accordance with their grants, but are fully responsible for their own IRS reportings.
The project must be a documentary or fictional work, the content of which falls within the mission of TWN.
The project must be a non-commercial film, video, or multimedia work. No student projects are accepted.
The project director/payee (the person responsible to receive funds and pay expenses) must have a tax identification number (Social Security Number or Federal Employee ID number).
The project cannot promote any racism, sexism, or hate toward any person or group of people.
The project director must demonstrate, through the TWN Fiscal Sponsorship application, an ability to raise project funds and produce a work through completion.

Moonlight poster design by InSync Plus.
In my opinion, one of the best films posters of the last years.
Moonlight is an American drama film released in 2016, directed and written by Barry Jenkins. It is based on the semi-autobiographical play "In Moonlight Black Boys Look Blue", written by Tarell Alvin McCraney. The main cast is composed of Trevante Rodas, Andre Holland, Janelle Monáe, Naomie Harris and Mahersala Ali.
Divided into three segments, it narrates the childhood, adolescence and maturity of Chiron, an African-American boy, fatherless, who grows up in a depressed and troubled suburb of Miami. The film shows the difficulties that Chiron has to relate to the people around him, and how he faces his affective development and his homosexuality.

New tools allow captains to gain valuable weather information while at sea. Richard Gibson
In today's age of weather satellites, apps and wire services, learning the "red sky at night" lore might be archaic. But in a spirit of safety, visual cues serve as reminders to be diligent in gathering information before heading to sea. Now, thanks to SiriusXM Marine Weather, a vast wealth of weather data can be gathered even at sea. And the data serves not just to avoid unpleasant or dangerous weather, but to make captains more efficient offshore.
SiriusXM Marine isn't new. It's been providing aviators and mariners weather for 10 years. Even better, improvements with the major navigation-electronics makers (Furuno, Garmin, Simrad, Raymarine) mean skippers don't need to rely on day-old data they laboriously scrubbed from Rutgers, NOAA and other weather services the day before. Today, SiriusXM weather subscribers can access 27 different weather data overlays on navigation suites even while at sea. If that's not enough to entice you to opt for the monthly service, this will: It can be updated to the minute and overlaid on your chart plotter.
SiriusXM partners with The Weather Channel to deliver nearly real-time weather data to your battlewagon at sea up to 200 miles from any point of the coastal continental U.S. and Canada.
The Weather Channel gathers their data from NOAA, NEXRAD and other sources, crunches it for satellite transmission and pipes it to SiriusXM.

Available Data
Several different formats and sources of information are on the SiriusXM menu. While the extended list of data sources looks daunting, those less familiar basically enhance and influence the final output on your display.
GRIB, an acronym for gridded regularly distributed information in binary form, is a digital mechanism that has been used for decades to gather and transmit wind, sea state, and sea-surface temperatures for display. It generates a weather forecast by combining current data with past experience when similar data is present.=
METAR, or the Meteorological Terminal Aviation Routine Weather Report, has been the standard of aviation weather forecasting for decades. The reports employ current and historical weather station data from airport stations and others.
Offshore sea-surface temperatures are the holy grail of finding productive waters where marlin and other pelagics will be. And as you would expect, the holy grail comes only at the highest level of SiriusXM service: a monthly fee of $54.99.
The magic for fishermen happens when they can overlay sea-surface temperature charts with wind and current data over their bathymetric chart to hunt for fish-holding rips supported by the perfect combination of bottom contours and weather elements.
For safety, skippers can add a storm-weather layer to that chart to keep nearly up-to-the-minute track of weather systems, so they can decide whether to run and gun or stick out the fishing and watch their spread. Should lightning appear, a layer of strikes can be added as an overlay to guide the vessel through the safest waters. If mariners are compelled to venture to sea in the teeth of a hurricane, SiriusXM will overlay the latest storm track on your display as well.

Don't Cancel Your Online Weather Sources
There are still good places to get environmental information ashore — and strong reasons to continue to do it. Terrafin and Hilton's Offshore offer online services that allow fishermen to log in and review sea-surface temperature charts, chlorophyll, altimetry and more from the previous days, then print out the data to take with you offshore. For a more in-depth report and a fishing plan to print and take to sea, Roff's Offshore will field your request by phone or email and plot a route based on sea-surface temperatures, altimetry, chlorophyll, currents and more.
Altimetry and chlorophyll have become more important to marlin captains in search of productive water, but SiriusXM doesn't provide those. Chlorophyll imagery can indicate the availability of forage in the water. Altimetry identifies subtle differences in sea height. "Taller" water is a good indicator of an upwelling, which is usually more fertile than a downwelling. Align altimetry with chlorophyll, a break in surface temperature and all that over a shelf or along a string of oil rigs and the action promises to be strong.
Another reason to review previous charts is that a young rip might not have matured enough to hold fish. Yet, Mitch Roffer of Roff's Offshore says that a break that is too mature, particularly one that remained stable over a weekend when fishing pressure is highest, can be overworked and equally barren. Considering your cash investment before each fishing trip offshore, it only makes sense for you to optimize your efforts with online and timely onboard weather-data systems.

3 Big Takeaways: Jarvis Landry gives Browns the 'juice' they'd missed
Browns veteran WR made an immediate early impact in Cleveland's win over the Broncos
Andrew Gribble
What a difference four days can make.
The Browns are back in the win column after their Thursday Night Football victory over the Broncos, and they'll carry those good feelings for the next 10 days before another big one with the Steelers at FirstEnergy Stadium.
For now, we're focusing on the present, which is much better than it was a few days ago. And we're focusing on a player who wasn't on the field a few days ago but was able to make his presence felt immediately against the Broncos.
1. Jarvis Landry gives Browns the 'juice' they'd missed
There's always a next man up, but there are some intangible things that can't be replaced when a key player goes down with an injury.
The relentless energy of Jarvis Landry certainly qualifies.
"I have played with many great receivers," QB Case Keenum said, "and I have never seen anyone quite have the look in his eye at times during games where it is just the ability to take the game over."
Keenum saw that look on the very first play, and he found Landry on a short pass that went for 7 yards to get the Browns rolling. Four plays and 68 yards later, the Browns were in the end zone with a quick-strike touchdown that would stake them to a lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Landry would be targeted a team-high seven more times and he finished with five catches for 37 yards. The final one was arguably the biggest — and scariest — as he hauled in a 7-yard pass to give the Browns a first down on what would be their final possession of the game, as they ran the clock out on Denver. Landry came up limping on the play, and his emotion showed as he trotted to the sidelines.
This wouldn't be like Week 2, when Landry suffered the knee injury that would force him to miss four games. He was back on the field for the final couple of plays, including D'Ernest Johnson's game-sealing run on third-and-7.
Landry didn't know how much he'd end up playing Thursday, but nothing was keeping him off the field in such a pivotal moment. For a player who had never missed a game because of an injury before this season, Landry had watched from the sidelines far too long for his liking.
"It was tough watching but it also gave me a lot of perspective about the game. Never take anything for granted," Landry said. "I was just excited to get back out there with the guys."
The feeling was mutual for Landry's teammates and coach Kevin Stefanski, who made sure Landry would be the final player out of the tunnel for the game's starting lineup announcements.
"I think it meant a lot to our fans," Stefanski said. "He brings the juice, no pun intended. He brings it to our sideline. Having him out there, a guy who fights, I could be talking about a bunch of different guys, but he is one. He fought like crazy to be out there with his teammates."
By the Numbers: D'Ernest Johnson's unforgettable 1st NFL start
Game Highlights: Browns vs. Broncos
2. About that opening drive…
The Browns won the coin toss Thursday. On most occasions, that would be followed by the Browns deferring to the second half and opening the game on defense.
Thursday, though, was different, and the Browns took the ball. Five plays later, they had a lead they wouldn't ever give back.
Stefanski said his decision to receive the opening kickoff was weather-related. With relatively calm conditions at the start of the game, Stefanski saw a forecast that grew a little dicey as the game progressed. He wanted to pick the path that would send the Browns away from the wind in the fourth quarter, and that meant taking the ball first.
No matter the reason, Keenum and the offense took it as a jolt of confidence. And, well, they played like it, blazing down the field in just five plays to take an early 7-0 lead.
"When Kevin told me that if we won the toss we were taking the ball, I was like, 'Let's go,'" Keenum said.
3. Myles Watch
Myles Garrett delivered another Myles Garrett performance Thursday. That meant 1.5 sacks and relentless pressure on Broncos LT Garett Bolles and whoever else was chipping him and doing whatever it took to prevent him from wrecking the game every time Teddy Bridgewater looked to pass.
Garrett leads the NFL with 9.5 sacks and is now all alone in second place for most sacks in Browns history. For his career, Garrett has collected 52 in 58 games, allowing him to pass Michael Dean Perry, who had 51.5 in 109 games. Garrett needs just 10 more sacks to match Clay Matthews Jr., the Browns' all-time leader.
"I'm going for Matthews in a little bit," Garrett said. "I'll try to get him before the end of the season."
