I always love these things & love when awesome blog friends come up with new topics every month.
This month, Jana took over & offered up some 3 things to share & join in on.... Thanks Jana!
1. Cereal (I literally gagged typing it)... or the C-word as people refer to it around me.
2. Peas - gross. Mush.
3. Corn - again, something about it just grosses me out. I will say, it is in one of the veggie burgers I eat & I try to pick each kernel out for each bite but every now & then, one sneaks in - & I shutter every time I chew into it.
1. Cadbury Eggs. This is the season too baby!!!
3. Crackers. Any kind. I can eat a whole sleeve of Saltines without thinking - & any kind of small cracker in a box? Forget it - I can eat it all like inhaling air.
1. Cleaning & sweeping the kitchen floor. Hello dogs!
2. Vacuuming. Hello once again dogs!!! & long hair peeps like me & the hubs.
3. Laundry. With a husband that wears like 7 shirts a day in layers for the cold - yeahhhh - lots of laundry.
1. Leggings. Love all my Lularoe leggings.
3 things I dont spend money on.
3. Expensive make up. If it's over $15.00 - forget it.
3. The Count of Monte Crisco - I LOVVEEEE that movie!
Fum little fact... look at the guy in the middle. That's a REALLLY YOUNG Henry Cavill - ... aka, the new Superman!!!
So feel free to grab & answer with us!!!
This is so much fun!! I may have to do it, too!!
I never cared to wash my car until I got a new one. My husband just got a new truck and is so obsessed with keeping it clean that he washes it almost every day. Insert eye roll.
Leggings all day every day!!
Before Alise got on her BH 90210 binge, she asked to watch Buffy, but I had never watched it so I wasn't sure! I hate sci-if books, too!!
My husband refuses to eat corn too. He says he is allergic to it, but he eats tortilla chips like crazy so I know that is crap lol. I wont spend money on manicures either. I saw the Easter candy was out the other day and I turned my cart around so fast and ran the other way before I loaded it with all the eggs.
LOVE these posts and read8ng more about what makes you tick! Cadbury Eggs....I'm so ready! I liked Gladiator too, it's my husband's fav of ALL TIME!
Count of Monte Cristo is a favorite of mine too. Corn is one of my favorite vegetables. I like peas too and even the 'mushy peas' they serve in England. I'm picky about my cereal, and I don't like much milk on it at all. Hubs drowns his and it's so soggy. shudder!
I love these kind of posts too and told Jana yesterday that this would be my post tomorrow. :D It surprised me how many veggies are foods you don't like. That's what happens when I stereotype a vegetarian! I love cereal but rarely eat it because I'm hungry an hour later. I despise ironing and refuse to do it. I have to pay for car washes because we're not allowed to wash our cars in the apartment garage but I go so long in between car washes, it's almost like I never pay for them. LOL!
Love this! Last Friday I posted a pencil store, a whole store that sells different kinds of pencils, go take a look at the video, it had me drooling, haha. And I just threw out a cabury egg from last Easter over the weekend, haha! :) I had the best intentions to eat it, then the thought of that much sugar scared me off, LOL.
I don't like peas either. There's not much I won't eat, but peas is one of those things.
I hate cereal too! Also peas. Gross. This is such a fun post...I might have to do it too!
You don't like cereal? Any kind of cereal? That's like a staple in my house. We will make a run to the store if all we need is cereal! I can't believe that 11 year old little boy :) in that top photo is the same man in the bottom photo! Wow!!
No cereal here, cardigans all the way with coffee of course. I hate all dusting but I love these posts! Hope to participate...is it on a regular monthly schedule or do you email out the questions?
Corn is about the only veggie my hubby will eat without complaint. This was a fun post!
I love seeing everyone's answers to these!
I don't clean the ceiling fans until it's way too late either but I maintain that I'm just too short to do it.
I am a cardigan queen! I love them and cannot live without them.
This reminds me, it's probably time to clean my ceiling fans.
Fun post. I agree with the peas! I'm with you on the cashews. All my tops are LuLaRoe. I do get a pedicure about every six weeks. I just can't do it myself anymore. I'm not into history either. Slower times sounds like a great plan of action.
Mmm...Cadbury eggs. 'Tis the season, indeed!
Omg cereal? You might be the first person I have come across who hates it. Too funny girl!
Also, I don't do sci-fi either. I just can't!
This was a fun post. If I had seen it earlier, I would have participated. I love all the foods you hate. lol And I don't do Cadbury eggs. Have never like them!

"Grim Photos - Pictures Should be Released" - Salt Lake Tribune Op-Ed
Salt Lake Tribune
http://www.sltrib.com/ci_12380519
Much as he'd like to, President Barack Obama can't have it both ways. In releasing four memos that gave a patina of legal justification to the CIA to brutalize prisoners, he ignited a controversy.
Should the memo writers, and perhaps their Justice Department supervisors further up the ladder -- maybe all the way to the top -- be prosecuted for authorizing interrogation methods that treaties and U.S. laws forbade? And, if not prosecutions, should a special commission be empaneled to at least investigate and make public all the evidence?
At first, the president appeared to encourage the debate, although making it clear he opposes prosecutions. Now, in opposition to a court order, he is trying keep secret photos that show prisoners being abused by U.S. interrogators.
That turnaround seems both counterproductive and ill-advised, serving merely to strengthen compelling arguments for an exhaustive investigation and full disclosure. And in seeking to block the photos, he degrades the commitment to transparency that he said informed his decision to release the memos.
Obama has responded that the pictures would only "further inflame anti-American opinion" and put U.S. troops fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq in greater danger. He says they are not as graphic as the stark images from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq that shocked the world in 2004. It's true, given the deep-seated hatred for America in much of the Arab world, that more images of prisoner abuse would be inflammatory, even if, as Obama says, the photos are less explosive than those that already are public.
We understand that the president is working feverishly to get U.S. troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and that part of that effort is to improve America's image in that part of the world. New photos of prisoner abuse won't help that cause.
But Obama set a correct course for the country when he issued an executive order on his second day in office prohibiting the harsh interrogation techniques that amount to torture. His release of the torture memos was a good beginning.
Obama has said he wants the country to look forward, not getting bogged down in investigating and prosecuting those involved in the policy of torture.
But a simple disavowal of torture is woefully inadequate. We as citizens must face squarely what has been done in our name and then decide what to do about it. Obama should release the photos and appoint a bipartisan commission to examine all the evidence of how this happened, who ordered it and who carried it out.

Getting candid. Anna Kendrick reflected on a past romance — and revealed the former couple took a serious step before their split.
"I was with someone — this was somebody I lived with, for all intents and purposes my husband. We had embryos together, this was my person,'" the actress, 37, explained to Dax Shepard during an episode of his "Armchair Expert" podcast, which was posted on Monday, January 9.
Kendrick recalled how "six years" into the relationship, she realized something was wrong.
"I remember telling my brother, when things had first kind of gone down, 'I'm living with a stranger. Like, I don't know what's happening,'" she said. "It wasn't just the 'Oh, I'm losing a relationship.' It was that I believed that if we broke up or, you know, if he left basically, it was a confirmation that it's because I'm impossible, I'm lucky that

Honoring her loved one. Allison Holker took to social media to share an emotional tribute as she continues to mourn the loss of her late husband, Stephen "tWitch" Boss, following his death.
"To my husband, best friend, babe, Chee-chalker, Superman and father of my children I LOVE YOU FOREVER and ALWAYS!" Holker, 34, wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 6, alongside a slideshow of images from the late dancer's life. "We will forever remember you as the true beacon of light that you were and we will continue to cast your light and love throughout the world. Thank you for our incredible memories and our beautiful life shared together."
The post, which featured tWitch, Holker and their three children — son Maddox, 6, and daughters Weslie, 14, and Zaia, 3 — showcased sweet snaps from some of the choreographer's biggest moments, including his proposal to the Make Your Move star,
Hanging out with Hartford! Stassi Schroeder and Beau Clark became parents in January 2021 when their baby girl was born.
"Beau and I have spent the last couple of weeks enjoying every moment with our daughter," the Vanderpump Rules alum captioned her little one's Instagram debut at the time. "Every cuddle, every sound, every poop, all of it. It's her two-week birthday and I feel like I'm finally ready to share my little girl. Meet Hartford Charlie Rose Clark, the best thing that's ever happened to me. My heart is so freaking full. I can't believe I get to keep her."
Katie Maloney commented on the social media upload: "Ahhh my little God Daughter!!!!!! She's so beautiful and I'm so happy for you and Beau!!!"
More of Schroeder's former costars commented on the slideshow, from Brittany Cartwright calling Hartford a "beautiful sweet angel" to her husband, Jax Taylor, pointing
A scary start to the year. Jeremy Renner was hospitalized on New Year's Day after sustaining injuries while plowing snow in Nevada.
The Mayor of Kingstown star, 51, was airlifted to the intensive care unit on Sunday, January 1, after "blunt chest trauma and orthopedic injuries" while driving a snowplow. According to the Washoe County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to a "traumatic injury" involving the Marvel actor in the area of Mount Rose Highway in Reno. The Sheriff's Office noted that the California native was the only person involved in the incident.
The Hurt Locker star has lived in the Reno area for nearly a decade, telling the Reno Gazette Journal in December 2019 that he now considers himself a Renoite though he was born and raised in California. "In a big city, it's hard to find community and even know your neighbors in a big city, but with Reno,
Start spreading the news: sweater weather is officially here! I just spent the weekend in chilly Maine, where fall is in full bloom. And let me tell you, I was more than happy to pull out my pullovers — longer layers are a welcome change after endless warm weather back on the west coast. There's no better feeling than breathing in crisp autumn air and taking in the gorgeous fall foliage in a brand-new sweater. We feel like we're the star of every classic rom-com, just moments away from a meet-cute.
Just as we don't believe in the concept of a favorite child, we also don't believe in the concept of a favorite sweater — with the possible exception of this pullover! Not only is this side-slit sweater a bestseller on Amazon

Aravind KP first rider to win abroad
Aravind beat 21 riders to claim the title in Sri Lanka
Team TVS racing's Aravind K P won this year's Sri Lanka Association of Racing Drivers and Riders Championship 2011 (SLARDAR), making him the first Indian rider to win a motocross championship abroad, finishing with a total of 73 points.
He was felicitated with TVS Racing's Advisor Racing – R&D, Arvind Pangaonkar, at a ceremony held recently. Aravind fought off 21 riders, including teammates Santosh CS and HK Pradeep, and 2010 UAM Asian champion from Japan, Tomoya Suzuki, for the title. He also won himself an all expense paid trip to watch the Dakar rally later this year.
"It was a tremendous experience riding in Sri Lanka. I have learnt a lot during this event. It was a great platform for me to fine-tune my riding skills. I have emerged as a much better rider after this event. I am overjoyed to have finished on top of the SLARDAR championship 2011," Aravind said on receiving the championship trophy.


When Bruce Pascoe released his non-fiction book Dark Emu: Black Seeds, Agriculture or Accident? – which drew evidence of precolonial Aboriginal Australia food production from diaries of early explorers, challenging their categorisation as hunter-gathers – he didn't anticipate the subsequent flood of interest. He's been busy fielding collaboration requests from food companies, restaurants, permaculture groups, schools and, most recently, a production company about a possible television adaption. "I've been amazed at how ready Australia is to start talking about those issues," Pascoe says.
With 29 books to his name, including the 2013 Prime Minister's Literary award-winning Fog a Dox, Pascoe is co-headlining this weekend's Victorian Indigenous literary festival, Blak & Bright. In his keynote speech he will look at how Indigenous writers are re-storying Australia's past and penning new narratives.
Pascoe has strong words about Indigenous representation in Australian literature, highlighting a number of prominent writers whose work he says have been incorrectly dubbed "reconciliation novels", including The Secret River by Kate Grenville and books by Tim Winton, Peter Goldsworthy and Patrick White.
"They're very, very good writers. I've read them all, and I continue to read them. But when I get to the parts about Aboriginal Australia I have to put the book down, because it's so wrong," he says.
Page says he also recognises the angle Grenville was coming from, "that she was writing from the white perspective and it's a historical novel that reflects the attitudes of the time".
For Pascoe, too many writers glean their knowledge of Indigenous Australia from non-Aboriginal sources, rather than first building genuine friendships with the community, establishing mutual trust and aspiring to authenticity. "Australians will write well about Aboriginal Australia and Aboriginal Australia will encourage them endlessly, but it has to be the result of knowledge, not out of prejudice," he says.
Pascoe recommends the works of Samuel Wagan Watson, Melissa Lucashenko, Kim Scott and Alexis Wright as "the kind of books which really challenge Australia's idea of itself". And while his list is short on non-Indigenous Australian writers, he is quick to stress this is not about throwing up walls around black stories. Rather, "you whitefellas, if you're going to write about blackfellas you have to write about them as well as you do when you write about whitefellas".
Pascoe grew up in a "conventional sort of home" that spoke English ("I love English, I adore English literature," he says), and says his family denied their own Aboriginality for a long time. When he investigated the "glaring absences" in their family story, he was inevitably drawn into Aboriginal society and culture.
When I ask Pascoe how he would like to be described, in terms of his heritage, he says "as a complicated Australian, like all Australians".
He has a "complex" racial background, which includes Bunurong (south-central Victoria), Yuin (NSW south coast) and Tasmanian Aboriginal, as well as ancestry from Cornwall in the UK. Pascoe acknowledges his colonial background and love of the broader Australian culture, but says he always comes back to the fact that in his bones he feels Aboriginal. "It doesn't matter about the colour of your skin, it's about how deeply embedded you are in the culture. It's the pulse of my life," he says.
Many of Pascoe's books are written in English but awash with Indigenous language words, in particular 2001's Earth and 2002's Ocean. Words like bangondedook or mirrouk warnagi are often used without translation and act as signposts for Wathaurong or Bunurong culture. "They were my attempts to bring two cultures together to tell the two stories in tandem, with both cultures having equal weight," he explains.
As all multilinguists know, culture is embedded in language and Pascoe shows how the "woman-centric"-ness of Yuin culture, "where everything arises from Mother Earth", is evident in its words. In contrast to the biblical genesis story of Adam and Eve, in Yuin culture the first person in the world was a woman (nyaadi) and the second was a man (tunku). The other day Pascoe came across a particularly beautiful phrase: "We come from our mother's breath" (bingyadyan ngallu nudjarn jungarung).
Pascoe lives near the Victoria town of Mallacoota, which means "the place where there is sacred white clay or ochre". His grandson is called Marlo for white ochre.
The bella wein of Bellarine peninsular near Geelong means: where we lean on our elbow (bella) beside the fire (wein) while looking out over the sparkling sea. Pascoe adds, "the construction is complex so that the word sparkle has both a land and sea reference".

Q: How to find move constructors in codebase using grep or an IDE? I want to find move constructors in codebase of a large c++ project. Simply grepping for "&&" doesn't work, because it matches a lot of 'logical and' operators.
Any way to grep more precisely for move constructors?
Any way to search for move constructors using Visual Studio (on Windows) or XCode (on Mac)?

A: Looks like a job for regular expressions. In Visual Studio, press ctrl+F. In the search pop-up window, activate the option "Use regular expressions" (or press alt+E, when the search line is active). Then type the following expression:
\b\w+\s*[\(]\s*(const)*\s*(volatile)*\s*\w+\s*[&][&]\s*[\)]

It will find any string of the form:
class_name(class_name&&)
class_name(const class_name&&)
class_name(volatile class_name&&)
class_name(const volatile class_name&&)

as specified in:
http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/move_constructor
The expression works also if there is any number of whitespaces between class_name, parentheses and keywords like const etc.
If you want it to work also for named variables, e.g.:
class_name(class_name&& variable_name)

it's enough to modify it slightly:
\b(\w+)\s*[\(]\s*(const)*\s*(volatile)*\s*\1\s*[&][&]\s*\w*\s*[\)]

EDIT: As an answer to the OP's request, I've modified the above regex in such a way that it uses backreference now. The '\1' means "Find the same expression that was captured by the first expression grouped in parentheses" - the first such expression is (\w+), which is the first 'class_name' in the examplary move constructors above. This ensures that there is the same string on both sides of this guy: '('. To sum it up: one additional pair of parentheses, '\1' and magic happens.
Interesting thing is that Microsoft doesn't mention that VS supports backreferences.
More information about regular expressions in Visual Studio can be found here:

Ahead of its Thursday, December 15 theatrical debut, tickets for 20th Century Studios' sci-fi sequel Avatar: The Way of Water went on sale today on AvatarTheWayOfWaterTickets.com.
A third and final trailer will be released tonight — Monday, November 21 — during ESPN's Monday Night Football, airing at 8:15 PM Eastern / 5:15 PM Pacific. A teaser trailer was previously released in May, followed by a full trailer in early November.
The Walt Disney Company, parent of 20th Century Studios, also announced several other events, promotions, and tie-ins today, including:
Gala premieres in London on Tuesday, December 6 (the world premiere); Seoul on Friday, December 9; Tokyo on Saturday, December 10; and Los Angeles on Monday, December 12.
2009's original Avatar has again been put onto streaming on Disney+, here. The film was originally available on Disney+, then was removed in late August to incentivize audiences to see the film's theatrical re-release, which earned $24.7M domestically.
Disney announced product partnerships, including with Snapchat and Amazon's Echo devices. For the former, users can use an augmented reality Lens which turns you into one of the blue Na'vi aliens from the film, available here. For the latter, users can unlock extra features by saying "Alexa, enable 'Avatar' theme" or "Alexa, teach me Na'vi."

Walk Off The Earth have released their new music video "Rule The World," and it is quite a pleasant treat for viewers and listeners.
Their music video for their breakthrough single "Rule The World" includes vibrant colors, hues and illustrations, and it incorporates intricate choreography and airborne musical instruments. It is no wonder that it's nearing one million views on their YouTube channel in record-breaking time. Their song is laid-back, uplifting and a great deal of fun. It is quite the inspirational anthem. "Rule The World" has a retro Peter Gabriel vibe to it, and that ought to be taken as a big compliment.
Their sophomore studio album will be released this summer, via their record label, Columbia Records. Fans can check out their "Rule The World" song on iTunes, by clicking here.
A Canadian quintet, Walk Off The Earth is comprised of multi-instrumentalists Gianni Luminati, Marshall, and Sarah Blackwood on vocals, as well as Taylor on keyboards, and drummer Joel Cassady. They rose to prominence after their stellar cover of Gotye's Grammy-winning single "Somebody That I Used To Know," which went viral.
Walk Off The Earth's "Rule The World" single has a catchy beat and melody, and its music video elevates it to a higher level. It is a substantial indication that director John Poliquin has done a brilliant job in its direction. It garners an A rating.
For more information on Walk Off The Earth, their music and tour dates, check out their official website.


We are all actively and deeply engaged in effecting continuous improvement in the work we do. We want our organisations to become better, more recognised, better perceived, higher ranked, quality-certified etc. In this process of wanting to do better in what we are currently doing, we seem often to neglect what we should be doing for the future. We seem reluctant to question the status quo and challenge the current assumptions – in some ways basking in our own lagoons of personal comfort zones.
There are disruptive changes happening at a furious pace all around us. One example, is the concept of 'work' itself. What will 'work' be defined as in the next 2-3 years or 10 years? The Swiggies of the world are redefining a home maker's work domain. The Air BnBs and Ubers of the world are redefining 'ownership' of assets. The emerging CEOs of 15-20 years of age are redefining 'leadership'.
'Maintenance' and 'compliance' mode will not suffice. This understanding requires and demands an entirely different mindset. Can we rise to the occasion?

Q: multiple matrices plotting in gnuplot I have to plot multiple matrices using same set of colour scheme. Currently i'm using this programme.
do for [i=0:10] {
  set term png
  set output 'sort'.i.'.png'
  unset key
  plot 'sort'.i.'.dat' matrix with image
}

this is plotting different plots with different colour scheme.

A: You must set a fixed cbrange for all plots. If you know this range in advance, you can simply set it with
set cbrange[min:max]

before starting to loop over the files.
If you don't know the range, then you must calculate it using the stats command before doing the plots:
max = min = 0
do for [i=0:10] {
  stats 'sort'.i.'.dat' matrix using 3 nooutput
  if (i == 0) {
    max = STATS_max
    min = STATS_min
  } else {
    if (STATS_max > max) { max = STATS_max }
    if (STATS_min < min) { min = STATS_min }
  }
}

set cbrange [min:max]

do for [i=0:10] {
  set term png
  set output 'sort'.i.'.png'
  unset key

Q: Uniform convergence of $\sum_{k=2}^{\infty}\left(\cos\frac{x}{k}-\cos\frac{x}{k-1}\right)$ I tried to use Weierstrass M-test for checking if $$\sum_{k=2}^{\infty}\left(\cos\frac{x}{k}-\cos\frac{x}{k-1}\right)$$ converges uniformly on $(-\infty, \infty)$ and I got
$\left|\cos\frac{x}{k}-\cos\frac{x}{k-1}\right|\leq\left|\cos\frac{x}{k}\right|+\left|\cos\frac{x}{k-1}\right|\leq1+1=2$,
$\sum_{k=2}^{\infty}2$ diverges $\Rightarrow \sum_{k=2}^{\infty}\left(\cos\frac{x}{k}-\cos\frac{x}{k-1}\right)$ doesn't converge uniformly on $(-\infty, \infty)$.
Is this correct?

A: Hint: since the series is telescoping, we can find an expression for the partial sums relatively easily
$$\sum_{k=2}^n \cos\left(\frac{x}{k}\right) - cos\left(\frac{x}{k-1}\right) = cos\left(\frac{x}{n}\right) - \cos x \to 1 - \cos x$$
With the formula and limit in hand, can you take it from here?

Before I met my GROVEWELL coach, I thought coaching was a waste of time. But from our first meeting, I wanted to work with her. She helped me overcome some deep fears that were holding back my career but, up to then, I had never stated to anyone. Overcoming those was truly liberating.

As part of Road Safety Week, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) updated its industry guidance to ensure large vehicles remain safe to drive by limiting the use of old tyres.
If the DVSA finds a tyre more than ten years old as part of its routine enforcement work, it will carry out follow up investigations on the vehicle operator. If they are unable to provide an adequate explanation for using an old tyre, or their tyre management systems aren't up to standard, DVSA may refer them to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner for potential regulatory action.
The updated Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness builds on previous guidance issued by the Department for Transport in 2013 which strongly discouraged the use of tyres older than ten years on coaches.
"I asked the DVSA to consider this measure as a means to tighten enforcement against the use of older and potentially dangerous tyres.
"DVSA's priority is to protect everyone from unsafe drivers and vehicles.
"Tyre condition is of critical importance to the safety of the vehicle's driver, their passengers and to other road users.
"Old tyres can let you down in more ways than you think.
In 2013, the DfT issued guidance to all operators setting out that tyres that have reached the age of ten years should not be used on a steering axle, and stipulating strict conditions if they are to be used at all.

Ramps are one of the most popular enhancements to buildings to aid the access for disabled people and in particular – wheel chair users.
The disability discrimination act 1995 (D.D.A) places a responsibility on building owners to provide access to all people regardless of their physical ability or age.
Ramps can be constructed from materials that when worn can become extremely slippery in wet weather.
JSE Contract Services provide a wide range of systems to solve slip accidents on any surface used to construct a ramp.
These include liquid applied, fast drying resin systems and flexible, sheet GRP systems that can be easily installed with no disruption.

Q: Deploying multiple Azure API App Versioning I have a requirement to deploy multiple version of the same API app where the client older application use the existing and the new clients use the new api app which is got more functionality.
Is there a way to achieve this with Azure API Apps?

A: I have an article that shows how to do Transparent Versioning using API Management in front of API Apps.
The basic idea is that you have a version parameter in a URL and then use the set-backend-service to change which version of the API to access.


In order for Wilfredo Vazquez Jr. to have a shot at a future in boxing, he had to come to grips with his past. The former 122 lb. titlist is man enough to recognize the wrong moves he's made, and what needs to be done to right the ship.
The November 1 bout in Puerto Rico will come against Jonathan Arrellano (15-3-1, 4KOs) who comes equipped with his own capable corner. The Californian is trained by well-respected Henry Ramirez, best-known for his years spent molding the careers of heavyweight contender Chris Arreola and welterweight spoiler Josesito Lopez.
All of the success enjoyed in Vazquez Jr's career came with his fighting father by his side, including his 122 lb. title-winning effort over Marvin Sonsona nearly five years ago. The feat marked the first time in boxing history a father and son captured a major title in the same weight class, with Wilfredo Sr. having reigned at that weight for three years in the 1990s, coming in between championship tours at bantamweight and featherweight.
Following his upset loss to Jorge Arce in May '11, the rift began between father and son. They remained together for several more fights, before eventually going their separate ways.
Overall, Vazquez Jr. has lost four of his last seven starts. Sandwiched in between setbacks to Arce and Sonsona came a Feb. '12 title fight loss to Nonito Donaire and an upset decision loss to Yasutaka Ishimoto in Top Rank's first show in Macau last April.
The loss to Ishimoto, coupled with his struggling performance in a win over Guillermo Avila last September was enough to alert the second-generation boxer that sweeping changes were needed.
In came strength and conditioning guru Angel Heredia, a move that was supposed to coincide with the reunion with his father. The latter was supposed to take place prior to Vazquez Jr's last bout, dropping a 10-round decision to Sonsona in their rematch this past June in New York City, but couldn't happen due to logistical reasons.
The fight was his first under Miguel Cotto Promotions, after a split from long-time promoter Felix 'Tuto' Zabala, who raised him from a pup to make him a star in the Central Florida region on the way to winning—and losing—a title. Cotto and Vazquez Sr. remain faithfully in his corner, with all parties of the belief that there is still plenty of time to add a new chapter to his ongoing story.
Excellent fighter (like his Dad), good to see them back together.
I like the little guy - hope he can make a decent second run for a title.

Trump takes Steve Bannon off the National Security Council
Who is Stephen Bannon? Donald Trump's campaign chief and Breitbart ... - thesun.co.uk
The president restores and adds members to the National Security Council while removing Steve Bannon.
by Stephen C. Rose
April 5, 2017 at 4:06 PM April 5, 2017 at 4:06 PM
Steve Bannon is off the National Security Council by the order of Donald J. Trump. This move will delight Bannon's enemies and ease the fears of those who believe the former Breitbart chief did not deserve such a sensitive security position. Since the right wing ideologue is still the closest thing the President has to an alter ego, the celebration may be short-lived. If Nancy Reagan could influence Ronald, Steve Bannon can probably have all the influence he wants without special security access.
A lead story
The online New York Times gives lead status to today's reshuffle.
To call the President's purpose removal is probably too strong but that is the substance of the Times headline. The president's action was proposed some time ago by the man who succeeded Michael Flynn as the President's national security adviser. That would be Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster. The move reshuffles the council and restores some who were inadvertently downgraded. New additions are the energy secretary, CIA director, and UN ambassador.
A slight change
Because Bannon was on the principal's committee of the council, he had maximum access and voice on matters not intended to reach the level of the president. That seems to be the main thing he might miss being off the council. As one might expect, the White House painted the change in positive colors.
Bannon is fine with it. The council is fine. The President is just getting his house in order.
Trump Removes Stephen Bannon From National Security Council Post https://t.co/2F29DlAiPg
— Stephen C. Rose (@stephencrose) April 5, 2017
How much influence does the NSC have?
It would be pertinent to wonder whether the National Security Council has much (if any) influence on the President's actual security-related moves.
The president appears to enjoy making foreign policy in reaction to the New York Times rather than the NSC. Just this morning, the Times called him for realpolitik and criticized his acceptance of Assad of Syria. This afternoon the internet is emblazoned with indications that Trump has changed his attitude toward Assad and is considering unilateral action against Syria. Trump is just perverse enough to make foreign policy in this way, in which case he could be controlled by the very media he professes to hate.

At some point in a worship service during this month of December, hundreds of Unitarian and Universalist congregations, all around the world and in many languages, will share a common reading as part of the International Council of Unitarians and Universalists' Global Chalice Lighting Project. Just imagine: from Norway to South Africa, from New Zealand to Japan, in India and Indonesia, Pakistan and Poland, the Philippines and Finland, Burundi and Brazil, Canada and the Congo, the United Kingdom and the United States, people who share our multifaceted faith will be pondering the same words at just about the same time.
Here at FUCSJ, we are just now catching the crest of this wave. Looking back, I see that November's words came from Canada, joyfully welcoming "visitor, friend, or long-time member, believer or doubter, joiner or loner, full of energy or plain tired, seeking a vision or a rest. You are welcome to join us as you are." The spirit of radical inclusion is universal in our faith, as this shared reading captures. Welcome home, everyone!
I think these words offer a good introduction to this month's worship theme at FUCSJ: "What Can Jesus Teach Us UUs?" "Final answers may elude us" as we ask the question in this theme, but this month we will "live the questions" and discover meaning in new places. What will we discover from wrestling with and relishing Jesus' central teachings? When we strip away centuries of interpretation of these teachings, when we quiet the external voices that claim to tell us about Jesus and listen instead to our own internal wisdom, what surprises might we find? What can Jesus teach us about love? About radical inclusion? About the problems and the possibilities of being "in a body"? About the relationship between power and wholeness, between healing and community? About ways of relating to others that can create "heaven on earth"? How will this holiday season grow richer when we live these questions?
Join us for this month's explorations and meditations, for its stories, songs, simple pleasures, and sudden intuitions. "Visitor, friend, or long-time member, believer or doubter, joiner or loner, full of energy or plain tired, seeking a vision or a rest"—you are welcome here, just as you are. Welcome home!
 Phrases extracted from the full welcome by Rev. Ray Drennan, Canadian Unitarian Council, available at http://www.icuu.net/resources/chalice_archives/GCL%2011-09.pdf.
In the last edition of the newsletter, I began to ponder this month's theme of "Simplicity." My blog, http://www.sanjoseuu.org/revnpjblog/, holds both the poem and the essay that I offered then; look for "Simplicity: The Complex Task of Living a Balanced Life." Will you walk with me now as we continue this journey?
Here is what we have been exploring: What happens when we develop the spiritual practice of sitting still—sitting still long enough and often enough to begin to notice how we are spending our resources? Not just our money resources but also the resources of our thoughts, emotions, time, and physicality—our energy. How are we spending each of these resources each day? Each week? How we are replenishing them each day? Each week?
Are we living within our means? Are we living a sustainably? Are we replenishing our resources at a "richer" rate than we are spending them? Do our thoughts, for example, bring us more energy, more insight, more joy or depth—or do they deplete us? We have a choice about how we "spend" our thoughts. And what resources have we discovered for replenishing our thoughts? A well-written book; a piece of art; a loving conversation; active engagement for the good of others; the practice of centering meditation when we take a break from "thinking"? Our thoughts are a resource that can be spent wisely or poorly, and that need replenishing. Isn't this a mind-boggling idea?
The same is true of our feelings: On which feelings do we dwell; which ones do we encourage? How do we "replenish" our feelings?
So, too, with our time: Which uses of our time bring us closer to our authentic self? Which ways do we spend our time that distance us from what we value most? How do we replenish a sense of spaciousness in the time we are given each day?
And which uses of our body, of our physical energies, actually give us more energy? Which uses deplete us? How are we restoring these energies?
Earlier this month, I chose to spend part of my time cleaning out my e-mail in-box. My in-box was like a room in the house where we toss all our clutter until finally we dread opening the door. There are valuable treasures in that room—we know there are—so we can't just haul everything away. Just so, my e-mail in-box was stacked high with messages that were no longer "new" but that I couldn't simply delete. Most of them had been skimmed and responded to, but some of them had arrived on days when I couldn't even get into that room; they were still bright bold, "unread." Some of those e-mails were being temporarily stored, waiting to be filed—except that "temporarily" had now stretched into months. Many messages needed to be deleted, but I had never formed the habit of getting rid of them right away. My in-box once again held thousands of e-mails.
So, for several hours a day over the course of several days, I entered into a Zen-like mode of selecting, deleting, responding, and filing. My energy rose as the numbers fell. The old messages reminded me of some beautiful ways I had spent my resources in the past year—events and experiences shared with you or with our wider movement that were treasures, but that I had almost forgotten because I had allowed less important preoccupations to pile on top. I discovered a few messages from old friends who were still waiting for a response, and I reached out to restore those lifelines. I saw how busy we are here at FUCSJ—too busy and sometimes swamped by petty concerns—but I also saw the power for good that we have when we let our mission guide us. I wondered in which ways we most want to spend our resources so that our deepest values and highest purpose can be sustained. And I began to free up my own resources so that I could be responsive to what matters most.
This spiritual practice was time well spent. Already I have new and tender habits for how I manage this aspect of my life.
How about you? What steps have you taken on this journey toward a balanced and sustainable life?

There are a number of reasons why one should buy Volcano Vaporizer. But the point of major benefit is that it saves the lungs of the smokers which are likey to be compromised in case of smoking. So it is recommended that one should leave the harsh smoking which causes the lungs problems.
In place of smoking one should use vaporizer. It is far better than smoking by cigarette. One can keep privacy by using it because volcano vaporizer does not produce smoke which disturbs even others.
The Volcano Vaporizer is so handy that it can be enjoyed by sharing it in a group. It is very easy to clean and one can easily make it germ free by rubbing alcohol on it.
The Volcano Vaporizer was not new to the market. It was launched a few years ago and since then, it has been popular among the lovers of smokers. So, it is affirmed by the users of volcano vaporizer that it is worth investment.
Generally volcano vaporizer comes in its sleek deign. There are a number of vaporizers in the market and some of them look like clunky wooden boxes. Actually, it has cone shape and a smooth metallic finish on its body, which is the point of attraction for buyers. But, apart from this, the function of volcano vaporizers is of high level.
But its adjustable temperature controller has made Volcano Vaporizer more popular among the smokers. It extracts the flavor or taste of the desirable herbs. So, it not only safe for the lungs, but also gives the taste of the true flavor and it is the main reason to buy the volcano vaporizer. Its adjustable setting makes it very easy to operate.
No doubt, Volcano Vaporizer is very convenient and portable to carry. The use of air bag on it is handy and proficient when one shares the herbs in a group. At the time of sharing, there is possibility of aroma leaking, but because of a small nozzle on the air bag, there is no issue like this. As far as the cleaning up is concerned, the Volcano Vaporizer hardly bothers much. So it is hassle free to use.
Finally, if one can afford the Volcano Vaporizer , definitely it is the real value for the money. The quantity of the herb used in the volcano vaporizer is very little because it does not burn the herbs but gives one the same experience of smoking as found in other means of smoking.
Gotvape is a leading Vaporizer store. It's mission to become #1 website for Volcano Vaporizer and Herbal Vaporizer searches.

Commentary WND News CenterTIS THE SEASON
On sin, Christmas and 'returning to the fields'
Exclusive: L. A. 'Tony' Kovach on why Christians should not sit back waiting for Second Coming
By WND Guest Columnist
By L.A. "Tony" Kovach
Many are disappointed by the outcome of the 2022 midterms. Without diving into election integrity or who sabotaged what concerns – which merit consideration – a fresh look at scriptural references may energize millions who sat on the sidelines in 2020 and 2022. There are an estimated 210 million Christians out of 332 million people in the U.S. If mobilized, those believers and others of goodwill could win every national election. A better grasp of an authentic biblical worldview could yield victories for the traditional American Dream.
Looking into the mirror, around our home, community, state and nation, yields examples of how America and the world need a Savior. Christmas is the fulfillment of God's promise to Adam and Eve after they violated the ONLY Divine commandment given in the Garden of Eden.
That command from God was: Do not eat the fruit of the tree in the center of the garden (see Genesis 2:17, 3.3). Imagine! Just one rule from a demonstrably loving God to Adam and Eve who nevertheless were tempted into violating it.
Failing to keep one seemingly easy commandment, how can moderns dare believe that thousands upon thousands of laws, rules and regulations might honorably be kept? Fuhgeddaboudit.
Reflect on life in Eden before the Satanic serpent did his dirty work with his proverbially forked tongue.
The weather in the Garden of Eden must have been perfect, better than Hawaii or Florida. Why? Because Adam and Eve needed no clothes.
Their diet in Eden must have been perfect. Adam and Eve felt no shame without clothes (Genesis 2:25). How many of us looking into a full-length mirror don't want to cover up imperfections?
Theologically, the garden-like paradise of Eden was a gift from God to that first couple. God doesn't give bad gifts (Psalm 85:12, James 1:17). Imagine no lawn mowing. No fertilizer or tilling the soil. No weed eaters. No hedging or trimming of any kind. Perfect.
Scripture doesn't record Adam and Eve quarreling before being tempted. They had clarity of thoughts and hearts.
After pondering that, its hubris to think humanity could achieve paradise on earth crafted by the "progressive" minds of mere mortals.
While planning is useful, we don't know what the next second brings. "Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity." (Ecclesiastes 1:2, NRSV)
Every problem ever faced by a woman, man, or child is the consequence of a very unpopular three-letter word. Sin. Sin is why we need a Savior! Sin is why we have problems in America and beyond. So, we need Christmas, the event that brought us a Savior.
Jesus wasn't born in a palace. Nor did his first coming start by riding the clouds of heaven. Rather, Jesus came as an infant whose mother, Mary, gave birth in a stable because there was no room even at the inn.
How have we made room for Him this Christmas season?
Have we pondered the underlying causes of many problems our republic faces?
Have we considered possible cures in an earthly sense for several key challenges?
Mere mortals want "a leader" to save us from inflation, recession, political, economic, social, cultural, media, tech, health, or conflicts of all types. But, biblical lessons tell us that's absurd.
Every problem we face is tied to moral violations. To improve our home, town, state, or nation, encourage widespread instruction on the Ten Commandments, or the two: love God and love your neighbor as yourself.
We want easy. Sorry, easy ended for humanity with eviction from Eden.
The leader we yearn for, unwittingly or not, is God Himself. All others fall into temptation.
So, do we do nothing?
Await the Second Coming?
Hope to be raptured from the mess deceptive tongues and covetous minds have made?
Jesus said, "No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God" (Luke 9:62 NRSV).
The Christmas story spotlighted what the shepherds did after witnessing God's plan for salvation. Did they stop shepherding? Luke 2 answers that question.
"And suddenly there appeared with the angel a great multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:
"'Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace to men
on whom His favor rests!'
"When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, 'Let us go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.'
"So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph and the Baby, who was lying in the manger. After they had seen the Child, they spread the message they had received about Him. And all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
"The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, which was just as the angel had told them." [Emphasis added.]
Returned where? Luke previously provided the answer: to their fields nearby where they were "keeping watch over their flocks by night."
After the shepherds (and we) are admonished "not to fear," after seeing the long-awaited Messiah, they returned to their jobs tending sheep. But they did so glorifying and praising God for the newborn gift of the Messianic Savior.
The shepherds also "spread the message they had received about Him."
The inquiry of a rich man to Jesus in Matthew 19 was clarifying.
"Just then a man came up to Jesus and inquired, 'Teacher, what good thing must I do to obtain eternal life?'
"Jesus said: 'If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.'"
Jesus didn't tone that down when some left. "Jesus looked at them and said, With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
Once we grasp the need for salvation, we are not taught to do nothing and await the Second Coming.
The case can be made that enough people stay away from the polls because they await the Second Coming. But Scripture routinely sends proverbial shepherds into "the field" not the sofa. In "the field," we praise God for love, mercy and the greatest of His gifts. We are told to keep the commandments, knowing that when we fail, God's mercy awaits.
In the hustle and bustle of the holy days before, during and after Christmas, we should ponder the lessons from Scripture with new eyes.
Prayer, repentance and our uniquely inspired work go hand-in-hand. The more believers share this, the better off the world will be. It still won't be Eden. But Jesus assures us that by doing so we will be storing up treasures in Heaven that no earthly force can take away.

Why 'trust the science' is nonsensical


To the Mustang fanatic, a stock car is akin to an artist's blank canvas. It is ripe for all those juicy mods that often include nitrous or forced induction so you can revel in the glory of insane acceleration. Turning low elapsed times and thrilling your friends with tire-shredding power is a lot of fun, but eventually you have to stop. We don't mean stop having fun; we mean you have to hit the brakes and stop your mount. When you nail the brakes, you want a nicely modulated pedal with excellent responsiveness. A mushy pedal and fading brakes is never fun.
Sadly though, when it comes to Fox-body Mustangs, stock brakes are not a wonderful attribute. You never hear anyone bragging about how well the small rotors and heavy, single-piston calipers perform. With that, many owners have made the switch to performance brakes. Let's face it—they are a must in almost any type of build, and there are many kits specially designed for drag racing, road racing, or street cruising.
One of the newest is the SS4+11 from Baer. Recently, we connected with multipled NMRA True Street champion Mike Jovanis, who was installing the a kit on his "other" street car, a 1989 Saleen Mustang convertible. Unfortunately, the Saleen had been sitting outdoors for eight years. Despite being under a cover, exposure to the elements and lack of use proved a real death punch to the brakes. Jovanis actually faced a long list of repairs, including a new top, to make the Mustang roadworthy.
Just like your engine combination, there are specifics that allow you to tailor your brakes to your type of driving or racing. Drag racers generally want lighter brakes, and road racers go for larger, more robust rotors, with calipers that can dissipate heat more effectively. In a drag race, you will only be stopping once per run, so excessive heat and fade is generally not an issue. In road racing, heat can build up, so larger components are used to manage the heat and maintain consistent performance.
• SS4+ four-piston aluminum calipers (these come loaded with Hawk pads).
• 11-inch directional rotor (comes preassembled with hats).
• Brackets to mount calipers to the spindle.
• Aluminum hubs (preassembled with SKF bearings and races, packed with Redline Synthetic grease), ready to install.
• ARP 1/2-inch studs installed in hubs.
A quality set of aftermarket brakes will also give you improved pedal feel, consistent performance, and, at times, shortened braking distances. They also give your Stang better looks. Who wants stock brakes sitting behind those fancy wheels when you can have slotted and drilled rotors and powder coated calipers?
1. Mike Jovanis' 1989 Saleen convertible sits pretty with its new Baer SS4+11 brakes tucked neatly behind the stock wheels. This kit allows the factory spindle and brake assembly to be removed and stored. Baer also offers similar systems for the earlier four-lug Mustangs.
2. The front kit comes complete with the brakes mounted to the spindles. Installation requires mechanical skill, as it will be necessary to remove the front spindles and some of the brake hardware. A billet five-lug hub assembly adapts the Fox spindle to the rotor (it can also be done with a four-lug if desired). The rotor measures 11 inches and fits the 16-inch factory Saleen wheels. You'll also note the custom graphite Gray color to match gray wheels and Saleen graphics. This setup also includes DOT-approved hoses and fittings.
3. The stock Mustang brakes feature single-piston calipers that are suitable for normal street driving and nothing more. If you plan to race or enjoy spirited driving, we recommend switching to aftermarket brakes. In many cases you can reduce weight and improve stopping performance with an aftermarket setup.
4. We go started by supporting the Mustang on a lift and removing the wheels and the front antiroll bar endlinks.
5. Next we removed the tie-rod ends.
6. Then we located a pole jack under the front A-arms so we could safely unbolt the spindle.
7. Here you can see we removed the two strut bolts and the coil springs. These springs have massive stored energy, so it's important to lower the A-arm carefully and never stand in front of the spring.
8. While it is not necessary, we removed the front A-arms since we had new ones ready to go.
9. Here is how the old spindles and A-arms compare to the new ones.
10. We also went with new struts. This is always a good idea on a high-mileage Mustang or one that has been sitting.
11. Next, the new A-arms were installed, and the spindle was slipped on to the ball joint.
12. We test-fit the spindles and calipers, then removed the assembly to install the front springs.
13. We installed the spindles, raised the A-arm, and connected the spindles to the new struts.
14. Then we installed the rotors and calipers and measured the length of the tie-rod ends so we could install the new ones.
15. We installed some new front antiroll bar endlinks (not included).
16. We then moved to the rear to install the aft brakes. As you can see, it is pretty grungy back there.
17. Jovanis began by removing the rearend cover and draining the gear lube. He removed the differential pin and the C-clip, which is necessary to remove the axles.
18. The S4 street system incorporates a drum in hat parking brake. This system both preserves emergency brake and will fit in a 16-inch wheel.
19. To get started we pulled the axles, disconnected the lower shock mount, and removed the calipers.
20. Next the backing plates were removed, which exposes the axle ends.
21. The kit includes 1 1/4-inch billet, black anodized blocks, which space the backing plate assembly off of the housing end to allow brakes to be used with Saleen axles (the axles are 1 1/4 inches wider on each side since it has Mark VII brakes on it). Plus, you'll need this brake offset to be preserved in order to make sure the factory wheels fit and axles can be used.
22. Another specific component is the Baer's mechanism to allow the calipers to float and be used with C-clip style axles. Fixed mount calipers can result in pad-slap noise coming from the brakes. This is an often-overlooked detail on aftermarket rear brake systems.
23. Here, Jovanis slides the axles into the housing, followed by the new rotors.
24. With the rotors mounted, we installed the rear calipers.
25. Next, we mounted the new cables.
26. Baer includes these direct-fit emergency brake cables. The Saleen already has an adjustable e-brake mechanism under the car that is similar to the 1993 Cobra, which makes this part of the install easy. We set the cable to have some tension and the e-brake handle worked perfectly on first try.
27. This master cylinder is a relatively new offering from Baer. It is machined in the USA in Phoenix, Arizona, out of a block of billet aluminum. It is a show-quality, high-end part and made for a complete and polished installation.
28. The Baer unit is a significant improvement over the factory master cylinder.
29. To adjust our brakes, we installed a Baer proportioning valve on the passenger side.
30. Here is the new front brake line after the installation.
31. We prepped the new master on the bench. Baer provided lines that allow connecting the master to the existing combination valve for a streamlined install. While these still required some slightly bending to fit the application they alleviated the need to make up lines from scratch. Fox Mustangs use a Bendix power brake booster with an adjustable pushrod. It is important to note that pushrod length must be 0.990 inch. Instructions stated that the Fox Mustang length should be 0.950. The Saleen measured 0.860. We are not sure why this was off, but it may be due to the Saleen being shipped with an SVO master cylinder. We carefully measured and adjusted the pushrod out to match the 0.990 spec. If it is too far out, the brakes will drag; too far in and pedal travel will feel long.
32. Here's the Baer master installed in the tight Saleen engine bay.
33. The final step is the fill the system with fluid, bleed the brakes, and check for leaks. Never overlook this step; no matter how careful you are, leaks can still occur. We were fortunate. Our system sealed up nicely, and our brake pedal was nice and firm.
34. In addition to amazing braking performance, the Baer system looks awesome. We can't wait to add a little power and put our new brakes to the test.

IoT Innovation, Issue 2
Where we look at why we need designers to push IoT forward
Big DataChief Data OfficerData Law
When people think of the Internet of Things (IoT), the tendency is to envisage a world of devices designed to make human daily life easier, particularly in the home. The image is one of appliances that restock themselves, thermostats with inbuilt machine learning, smart food and other equally imaginative applications.
Now that the initial excitement has passed, though, the dust has started to settle and the real-world applications of the IoT are beginning to take shape. The home will be affected, yes - which Matthew Reaney explores in this issue - but the uses for connected devices will find perhaps their most notable influence in the world of industry and business. We explore how the former has far surpassed the consumer market in terms of actual application of the technology, and George Hill explains its rise.
The world's biggest cities, too, will be significantly affected by the immense potential of the IoT. Automation in 'smart' cities will certainly make the lives of city dwellers easier, but there is a danger that the extent of the automation could render its beneficiaries stupid. James Ovenden looks at the dangers of a city run by 'smart' machines.
Though for these machines to truly be considered 'smart', they will have to utilize some kind of machine learning. If the ultimate goal of big data is that technology will eventually teach itself, the considerable investment being shovelled into machine learning is set to drive it in the right direction, and David Barton discusses how companies should prepare themselves for its eventual ubiquity and how best to exploit its value.
Also in this issue, Laura Denham explores how appealing design will be the key to the IoT taking hold on the consumer market, Emma Taylor explains the benefits of ensuring your supply is ready for the IoT revolution, and Alice Atkinson-Bonasio looks at the immediate future of the technology. It is important to limit hype when it comes to new tech, and it'll take a while for the home to be revolutionized. But, with real-world applications becoming ever-clearer, expect to become a lot more familiar with the IoT in the coming years.
