Tenants of Dubai Marina development lose their cool over malfunctioning air conditioning
Many frustrated and angry residents say this is the third summer that the cooling towers at the Trident Marinascape, facing the scenic Marina Walk, have caused problems but this year has been worse, with temperatures touching 29°C and 85 per cent humidity inside their homes.
One of the steps taken to keep the cooling towers cool is to drop nine tonnes of ice a day into them. Rebecca Rees for The National
DUBAI // Tenants at an upmarket Dubai Marina apartment complex are being forced to move out because the building's air-conditioning is not functioning properly and they are fed up relying on electric fans to beat the heat.
Many frustrated and angry residents said this was the third summer that the cooling towers at the Trident Marinascape, facing the scenic Marina Walk, had caused problems, but that this year was worse, with temperatures touching 29°C and 85 per cent humidity inside their homes.
The development comprises two towers – Oceanic and Avant – and has a total of 200 apartment units, 13 villas and 23 retail outlets, including several restaurants.
"I can no longer stand the heat," said Sammy Abassy, a tenant who moved in to the Oceanic Tower two months ago but is terminating his contract next week.
"There is no air conditioning in the apartment. I can't live here any more. I just can't breathe. It's hot and humid and the temperature is always around 27 or 28 degrees."
Mr Abassy, whose two-bed apartment is rented for Dh170,000 a year, said his landlord had promised to return the remaining 10 months rent once he vacated the apartment.
"When I moved in, the landlord and Place, the facility management company, promised the air conditioning would be resolved in two days. But it hasn't happened and there is no guarantee it will," he said.
The owners association and the facility management company blamed the lack of cooling on the four faulty cooling towers initially installed by the developer, Trident International Holding.
The developer, whose half-constructed Pentominium tower was supposed to be the tallest residential building in Dubai, disappeared in 2011 after defaulting on a Dh75 million loan.
"The problem with the towers are due to Trident putting in substandard cooling towers," said Alan Godfrey, one of the members of the owners association, who has blackout curtains and numerous fans throughout his 27th-floor apartment.
"The design from day one was never going to work and the towers were undersized and overworked. Now, the shafts and the gearboxes in the cooling towers are breaking down. We ordered new towers from Belgium to replace them and they arrived here in February. But the new towers are heavier and are way bigger than the ones that were installed. We need to take out the concrete plinths on which the old towers are standing to install the new ones. The problem is Trident never left proper drawings with the Dubai authorities, so it is a lot of guesswork."
Installing the new towers requires permission from various authorities, as well as the go-ahead from architects and surveyors.
The association, however, expects the new cooling towers to be in place by November. One of the steps taken to keep the cooling towers cool is to drop nine tonnes of ice into them each day to reduce the temperature of the water going through the chiller that makes the air-conditioning cool.
Yet the tons of ice have had little or no impact for some tenants.
"The temperature is an average 29°C in our house," said Ziad Ayad, who has been living in the Oceanic Tower for the past two and a half years.
"It is next to impossible to reach below 27°C."
Mr Ayad, whose one-year-old daughter and wife have taken temporary refuge overseas because of the situation, said his kitchen ceiling was covered in fungus and mould.
"The master bedroom ceiling looks like it is going to collapse because of the sheer level of humidity and water collection in it.
"We don't believe air conditioning or clean air is a luxury in Dubai, but a necessity to maintain a healthy lifestyle," he said.
Tor Fosse, another tenant, agreed.
"The humidity inside the house is higher than outside and often goes up to 85 per cent in the evenings," he said.
"At night, the floors are damp, our pillows are damp. There is mould growing everywhere and that is dangerous and a clear health hazard. I had to do something and bought myself an air cooler and a dehumidifier, which gives only a little relief even if running day and night."
Mr Tor said the structural design of the towers was flawed and the exhaust ducts used by the numerous restaurants in the basement were on fire last month.
"The fat accumulation in the ducts caught fire from cooking in a restaurant.
"The ducts should generally run along the entire length of the building and open to the skies. Instead, these two ducts open near the swimming pool on the first floor. We can't use the pool or the gym because there is so much smoke from the restaurants."
The facility managers are optimistic that the new towers will be installed soon but declined to give a time frame.
"With the developer not being there, we have no drawings or technical specifications," said Edward Sanders, chief executive of Place. "We are getting structural surveys performed. But the job won't happen overnight.
"Our heart goes out to the tenants and the owners. Short of divine intervention, we are doing our best."
Attempts by The National to contact Trident were unsuccessful.

How it should work
The water from Dubai Electricity and Water Authority generally reaches building pipes at temperatures of between 40 to 50°C. The water is then cooled down to about 30°C or below by the cooling towers before it is sent to the chiller. The chiller further cools it down to between 6°C to 8°C, after which it is circulated to cool air in people's homes.
Alan Godfrey, a member of the Owners Association, said that since the cooling towers were worn out, the 9,000kg of ice and additional mobile chillers were used every day to reduce the water's temperature in the towers. The water is cooled to between 36°C and 38°C, depending on the humidity.
"The towers are never working efficiently to cool that water. We have to help it along by trying to get it down to a certain temperature," he said.
Instead of the ideal 6°C to 8°C, the temperature of the water when it leaves the chiller is between 12°C and 13°C. Thus, the cooling in people's homes is an average 27°C, depending on the humidity and outside temperature.

Police commended over 'train surfing'
POLICE have been commended for their actions after an incident in Northwich left a 14-year-old boy seriously injured in a 'train-surfing' accident.
British Transport Police officers Ian Plant and Phillip Oakes were the first officers on the scene when Dean Hassell slipped from a train and was dragged under the wheels near Northwich railway station in September 2004.
Dean, a pupil of Hartford High School, was among a group of boys who climbed on board a train of limestone hoppers as it passed by Verdin Park in Northwich. He received extensive injuries and lost both legs in the accident.
PC Plant accompanied Dean in the ambulance while PC Oakes spoke to witnesses before contacting the victim's family. Both remained at hospital with Dean and helped his family afterwards.
Superintendent Peter Holden presented them with Area Commanders Commendation awards and said: 'They acted with great compassion and skill on the day and I am extremely proud of their actions.'

The Wayne family purchased the land on which the home "Historic Waynesborough" still stands in 1724 and the family's descendants continued to own it until 1965. One of Waynesborough's residents was Major General Anthony Wayne, a Revolutionary War hero, who was also instrumental in the Northwest Indian War (1785?1795). The Historic Waynesborough collection, 1712-1990, consists largely of secondary-source materials, such as photocopies, but there is also a significant amount of primary documents. Materials pertain largely to various members of the Wayne family and include photographs, financial documents, correspondence, genealogical research, and various other documents.

Erica Garner Wiki: Age, Dies, Heart Attack- Everything About Eric Garner's Daughter
Erica Garner, the eldest daughter of Eric Garner, devoted her life advocating for the equals rights and opportunities to the black community. But sadly, the outspoken critic of police brutality following her father's death on State Island in 2014 has died suffering a massive heart attack at the age of twenty-seven.
Erica Garner, the oldest daughter of Eric Garner, devoted her life advocating for the equals rights and opportunities to the black community. But sadly, the outspoken critic of police brutality following her father's death on State Island in 2014 has died suffering a massive heart attack at the age of twenty-seven.
Died Following a Heart Attack!
Erica Garner, the Black Lives Matter activist, died following a heart attack on December 30. She was hospitalized for a week in Brooklyn after suffering an apparent heart attack on Christmas Eve.
Sources have reported that Erica, who was twenty- seven years in age, went into a coma after facing a cardiac arrest which was triggered by an asthma attack. Ever since her death her friends and followers have been flooding their grief in the social media.
Mother to Two Kids!
Erica gave birth to her youngest son, who was named after her father, in August 2017. She also has an eight-year-old daughter. Along with being a good daughter, Erica had always been a responsible mother who occasionally posts photos of her children in social media. On this same day last year, she had visited her father's memorial with her daughter.
Erica had been a warrior throughout her life, but she did have her own demons which used to frighten her. She shared about her difficulties as an activist and parent in her recent interview with the web show Like it or Not where she said,
"I'm struggling right now with the stress of everything, because the system, it beats you down."
Her Boyfriend Tried to Kill Their Unborn Child!
Erica's boyfriend, Darren Flowers was arrested in February 2017 after he tried to kill her unborn child by pouring liquid laxative down her throat. Flowers reportedly punched her over and over in the stomach and later forced her to drink the liquid, which he claimed was bleach.
Similarly, he also punched over her mouth and sprayed another liquid on her face along with threatening that he has a gun while she ran to call the police. Police reported that she was later treated for burning sensation in her eyes, a bloody lip, lightheadedness and pain all over the body in Garner to Woodhull Hospital.
Despite the brutal incident, she gave birth to a healthy baby, and her boyfriend was arraigned on 26 charges which include assault, attempted abortion, harassment and trespassing in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
Short Bio and Wiki:
Erica Garner used to celebrate her birthday on May 28 every year. She was born in Brooklyn, New York to parents Eric Garner and Esaw Snipes, who were married in August 1989. She has four siblings, Shardinee, Emerald, Eric Jr. and Emery. She belonged to Afro-American ethnicity and had an impressive height with a healthy physique.
Rest In Peace Erica!!

Q: Dockerfile: can't open file './main.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory I get this error: python: can't open file '/src/main.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory when I try to run a container with an image that was build with the following docker file:
FROM python:3.9-slim AS compile

RUN python -m venv /opt/venv

ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"

WORKDIR /my-app

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

ADD src/ ./src
RUN pip install .

FROM python:3.9-slim AS build

COPY --from=compile/opt/venv /opt/venv

ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"

CMD ["python", "/src/main.py"]

I tried this as well and it still gives me the same type of error about not finding the main.py: i tried ./src/main/py, /src/main.py, /src/main.py, ./main.py. I tried everything, I'm starting to suspect the error is elsewhere

A: /src/main.py is absolute path from the system root.
In order to be relative to you current directory use ./src/main.py

A: I would simplify your docker file as below:
    # base image
    FROM amazonlinux:1

    # Set the working directory
    WORKDIR /app

    # Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app
    COPY . /app

    # Install requirements
    RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

    # Define environment variable
    ENV PYTHONPATH "${PYTHONPATH}:/app"

    # Run main.py when the container launches
    ENTRYPOINT ["python", "-u", "src/main.py"]

A: The problem is you have multistaged build (2x FROM) and you only add them to the first stage.

FROM python:3.9-slim AS compile

[..]

ADD src/ ./src
ADD setup.py .
RUN pip install .

FROM python:3.9-slim AS build

[..]

You can fix this with a second COPY --from= statement in the 2. stage.
Additionally your CMD is wrong. Either give it the fullpath or start a relative path with a . the dir-/filename (/my-app/src/main.py, ./src/main.py, src/main.py).
FROM python:3.9-slim AS compile

RUN python -m venv /opt/venv

ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"

WORKDIR /my-app

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

ADD src/ ./src
ADD setup.py .
RUN pip install .

FROM python:3.9-slim AS build

COPY --from=compile/opt/venv /opt/venv

COPY --from=compile/my-app /my-app                  # ADDED

WORKDIR /my-app                                     # ADDED

ENV PATH="/opt/venv/bin:$PATH"

CMD ["python", "/my-app/src/main.py"]                      # FIXED

Lastly, you're only setting the workdir in the stage you throw away, but that's only relevant if you don't give the cmd the full path or you need a specific workdir.

DOG BONE SOUP by Bette A. Stevens: A Fresh Slice of "The American Pie" | The Indie Spot!
WILLIE FINALLY CURLED himself up in a corner near the wood stove, sobbing to Pandy. That stuffed bear was his favorite and it was nearly as big as Willie. I went over and put my arms around them.
"Mum's coming back for us," I whispered and I rocked them until Willie fell asleep.
That night, Dad took us boys up to Uncle Hiram's. The house had electric lights that turned on and off with chains. It even had a flush so you didn't have to pee in a pot at night. There were lots of rooms, too.
Jamie and Seth had been coming over to our house most every day. Mum tried to get them to learn their A-B-Cs when she was teaching me, but they didn't want a thing to do with learning. Soon as they'd start fussin' and cussin', Mum would tell them to get along home before she washed their mouths out with soap. They'd stick out their tongues and make all kinds of mean looking faces. When Mum got up, they'd take off like a shot, slick as those greased pigs at the fair.
Jamie and Seth had their own room with separate beds. The night we got there, Seth slipped in with Jamie while Willie and I slept together in Seth's bed. No one came in to kiss us goodnight or listen to our prayers.
"Dear, Lord, please bring Mum home," I whispered to God as I pulled up the covers and tried to tuck them in like Mum would have done.
A few days later, I hid myself under Seth's bed soon as Willie followed the boys out to pitch rocks at the chickens. Seth and Jamie were always fighting and saying mean things about Mum. Willie liked to follow the boys around. He'd laugh and poke sticks back at them. He was just a little guy and looked up to those big kids.
I fell asleep under the bed hugging a blanket and didn't wake up until I heard Dad's and Uncle Hiram's boots thumping up the front steps.
Dad always called Uncle Hiram "Hi-ree." Mum said it wasn't proper English. Dad said it was a nickname. That night, Dad didn't tell us any stories about him and Uncle Hiram working in the woods like he usually did.
Monday morning after breakfast, Dad packed Willie and me into the Plymouth and took us down to Lebanon. He held onto our hands as the three of us climbed up the steps of a brick building to meet a lady named Mrs. McNair.
Mrs. McNair's gray hair was pinned up on top of her tiny head and she had huge black eye glasses hanging from a braided string around her neck. They dangled in front of us when she bent down to meet us. "Hum-m-m-m. Why, hello, boys," she said as she sort of smiled, first at Willie, then at me before she shook her head and checked us over from head to toe.
"Don't you worry about that," Dad told her.
Dad gave us big hugs and even kissed us before he left. That's the only time I remember him doing that.
Mrs. McNair took us to a room with a little wooden table that had kid-size chairs around it. There were books, papers and crayons on the table. In the corner, there was a basket filled with toys. Willie headed straight for the trucks and cars and I sat at the table drawing for a while. I drew a picture of Mum. Then I drew one of Mum and me fishing at the brook. I drew one of Mum and Dad and us boys picking blackberries. Annie was sleeping on a blanket and we were all smiling.
Then, I spotted those books. That's when I wished I could read. Mum said I'd be reading in no time. I sure wished it was no time. I picked up a book with Goldilocks and the Three Bears on the cover and pretended to read it. Mum read us stories every day, so I knew how to pretend read from the pictures.
Mrs. McNair walked us over to a big white house. She opened a fence gate and we walked up to the house. Mum would have loved it. There were flowers everywhere.
Mrs. McNair knocked on the door.
"This is Mrs. Cross," she told us when a lady opened the door.
"Oh, I'm sure they'll love it," Mrs. McNair professed as she patted our heads too.
"The Cross family has an impeccable reputation. Mrs. Cross is one of our finest foster care mothers," she patted our heads again before she left Willie and me standing there.
I didn't want any mother except Mum.

Brooklyn state Sen. Marty Golden brazenly parked his Cadillac in a bus stop — but drove away scot-free after giving a traffic agent his card and a fist bump, according to a witness.
"It's absurd," said the man, who spoke on the condition of anonymity but provided photos of the illicit parking job and glad-handing in Bay Ridge.
The witness photographed the ex-cop's Caddy parked in front of the transit hub on the afternoon of June 9.
Golden was standing in front of the vehicle carrying plastic shopping bags and chatting to a traffic enforcement agent for several minutes.
The pol dropped the names of several people he knew, handed the agent his business card to explain who he is, the witness said.
"After that, he fist-bumped her and went on his way without a ticket," said the man.
The observer says he was particularly steamed by the sight because he was once ticketed for parking in a Bay Ridge bus stop, even though he was sitting in the car waiting for someone.
Rather than knock on his window and ask him to drive off, the traffic agent just scanned his registration before he could leave, he said.
City records don't show any tickets for Golden's Cadillac parking in bus stops this year — but they do show he's racked up more than 40 car-related raps in the past five years for infractions including speeding and failing to feed the meter.
He's successfully challenged some of the tickets — but coughed up $115 for parking at a Bay Ridge bus stop in July last year, the records show.
Neither Golden nor the NYPD returned requests for comment.

Testing ViewModels is nearly as easy as testing state. In MvRx, all dependencies are constructor injected and ViewModels only have one lifecycle method (onCleared). To test ViewModels, just pass in implementations or mocks of your dependencies into your constructor, call functions on your ViewModel that affect state, and run assertions that your state was updated correctly.
This lesson will guide in configuring the mvrx-testing artifact which will ensure that your MvRx reducers run synchronously and will write a few tests for a MvRxViewModel.

The Robin Fraser Era is Here

One hundred and sixteen days after the the dismissal of Anthony Hudson, the Colorado Rapids have finally announced Robin Fraser as their new head coach.
It was not a huge surprise. I had heard rumblings that it would be Fraser almost two months ago. Interim Coach Conor Casey's run with the Rapids concludes with a record of 7 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses. It may have been odd to see Conor Casey shunted aside after a relatively successful caretaker-manager stint, but ultimately, the timing does make sense. Colorado are 13 points below the playoff redline with only seven games left to do, making them effectively eliminated from the post-season. Saturday's loss to Real Salt Lake was as good a time as any to end Casey's tenure and let Fraser come on board to get a feel for the new Rapids.
Casey coached 18 games for #Rapids96, and departs with a 7-7-4 record.
- Hudson had 9 games this year and an 0-7-2 record.
- Fraser will get 7 games to close out the 2019 season. https://t.co/UkjuLK0X3X
— Mark Asher Goodman (@soccer_rabbi) August 26, 2019
Fraser can use this final seven games to experiment, tactically; to feel out his players and get a sense of if or how he might want to use them next year; and to start coordinating with General Manager Pádraig Smith on what players might best suit the plans that Fraser is laying out for the 2020 season.
Some fans will be disappointed that Pádraig Smith ultimately chose not to retain Casey as head coach. And I think that's a legitimate gripe.
Casey showed in his 3 months on the job that he could make good use of a solid-but-unspectacular lineup. He also changed the formation and tactical plan of the Rapids from a pass-oriented 4-4-2 diamond to a 4-5-1 that put an emphasis on defending deep, striking on the counter, and putting out a fast pair of wing attackers to get forward and help Kei Kamara score goals. It worked better than what Hudson was rolling out every week.
But the plan was always to hire a coach with MLS experience to build a club for 2020 and beyond, not give another inexperienced former Rapids player a shot at the big time. Casey might turn out to be great, but honestly, after pressing Pablo Mastroeni into emergency duty to coach from 2015 to 2017, Colorado did not need to give another former legend his first try at managing. They needed a guy who had built up a resume watching other MLS coaches, thinking about the game, and studying the ways of managers.
He was an assistant to Jason Kreis at Real Salt Lake. He was an assistant to Hans Backe at New York Red Bulls. He was an assistant to Greg Vanney at Toronto FC. And he got a shot to be head coach with Chivas USA, even though their management team didn't support him in the slightest. He's already got the experience that Conor Casey would hope to build in order to be properly prepared to manage in MLS.
When it comes to how he'll line up and how he'll play, we aren't quite sure, but at his introductory press conference today, he gave us a little teaser.
Fraser: When asked about coaches I. MLS he wants to emulate, he highlighted Arena, Berhalter, and Vanney.
Likes the way the latter two have disorganized the opponent, especially Berhalter. #Rapids96
— Rapids Plague Matt Pollard (@LWOSMattPollard) August 27, 2019
Berhalter's system is an interesting one to consider. Gregg Berhalter, before his departure to the US Men's Team, played a high-pressure 4-2-3-1 that used a lot of diagonal passing from the midfield. Vanney, on the other hand, has played a more possession-based offense, and also used both 4-2-3-1 and 5-3-1-1 formations. The only thing we can determine from Fraser's opener is that he isn't a defensively-minded counter-attack coach.
For the final 7 games of the year, we get to see tinkering and testing. Keep an eye on how Fraser plans to use some of the new guys like Jonathan Lewis and Andre Shinyashiki. It's also interesting to see if Fraser gives Axel Sjöberg and Dillon Serna another chance to play and maybe prove their value going forward. And lastly, pay attention, but not too much attention, to whether the Rapids win a few games down the stretch. It ultimately doesn't matter that much, but it would be a positive sign for the Rapids to demonstrate to their coach that they understand and will respond to his ideas and his encouragement.
Marketing the Rapids in MLS 3.0
A few years ago, I was speaking to an employee with the Colorado Rapids, and we were discussing the various subgroups that make up the fans of the Colorado Rapids. Some of my thoughts were based on a section of the book 'Soccernomics', which I found highly enlightening. Some were my anecdotal observations.
The first group is 'soccer families'. Many, but not all, are there because they have soccer-playing kids. Because of the cost and makeup of soccer clubs in America, this group is also predominantly white.
The second group is young singles in their 20's and 30's, AKA 'Millennials'. They come probably because they are new to Colorado, because soccer is a rising sport, and because the supporters section and the tailgate are unique and fun. They seek something fun, authentic, not-corporate, and different from your standard traditional American sporting event. In many cities in the US, they constitute a massive component of the fan base, and are very active in the supporters group. This is less true in Colorado.
The third group is the Latinx community. They typically have familial and cultural roots in soccer. Often, they primarily root for a Liga MX team, but since they live in and/or were born in the US, they show interest in domestic soccer. The younger generation is ripe to be converted over fully to an MLS team, but often, it hasn't happened yet. My father was a Red Sox fan, I grew up in LA and was a Dodger fan. My son, meanwhile, has an autographed Rockies hat, signed by Dinger T. Dinosaur himself.
The fourth group is 'general sports fans' - the folks that saw a light rail ad or watched a Women's World Cup game and thought 'Huh. The Rapids. Maybe that'd be fun.' I came from that group lo these many years ago. They are highly unreliable; bad weather will keep them away, a dope promotion like fireworks or dollar-beer night will get them to come out in droves. That said, because they represent the largest sector of potential fans on any given game day, a lot of the team's marketing is focused on this fan pool.
The fifth and final group is 'EPL fans.' It is the eternal desire of every MLS team to convert wide swaths of English Premier League viewers who are tuned in to NBC Sports on a Saturday morning to dedicated MLS fans. We all know how much of a challenge this is, because every MLS twitter thread and every soccer message board inevitably has someone shouting 'The MLS is rubbish' over and over again. Still, it has not stopped the Galaxy from competing in the International Cup of Champions, nor MLS teams from shelling out big bucks for the career-in-decline portion of the soccering life of Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba, Steven Gerrard, and Wayne Rooney, not to mention patient zero of EPL players that established MLS as a so-called retirement league, Mr. David Beckham.
When I finished this long-winded and perhaps mansplain-y discourse, our friend inside the offices at Dick's Sporting Goods Park replied, "You know, we had meetings with MLS a few weeks ago about marketing, ticket sales, and market segments, and they said most of the same things you just said." (MLS should totally hire me, guys.)
I bring all of this up because the Rapids attendance this year is down. Way down. And it might be important to explore things that the team can do about it.
Attendance Woes
In 2019, the Rapids have averaged just 14,209 fans per match, down 7.9% from their 2018 average of 15,333. That places them 23rd in MLS attendance out of 24 teams; only the Chicago Fire are more poorly attended.
In 2017, the team average 15,322 a game. In 2016, the year in which the Rapids signed Tim Howard and made a run to the Western Conference Championship, the team averaged 16,278. And all the way back to 2015, Colorado averaged 15,657.*
One could say that the Rapids are doing just fine - that with a stadium that seats 18,000 to 19,000 fans per game, filling 85% of the seats is decent. The rebuttals to this point are twofold.
One, it has been pointed out many times that the Rapids attendance numbers are counting tickets *distributed* - a significant number of seats are free giveaways to kids at youth tournaments, and another decent chunk is folks who bought a ticket in part of a package but may not have used them. Almost every fan knows that Rapids tickets aren't a hot commodity, and the team's struggle in five of the last six seasons have also meant that ticket prices have remained largely the same since a slight bump at the end of 2016. In other works, in terms of stadium sales and the team's bottom line, the Rapids are not doing just fine.
Two, just filling 85% of DSGP and maintaining a little more than 15,000 fans per game isn't going to cut it in the new world of MLS. League noobs Atlanta United are pulling more than 52,000 a game. FC Cincinnati draw more than 27,000 a game. And the Portland Timbers recently expanded Providence Park from a capacity of 20,438 to 25,218.
In other words, averaging over 16,000 isn't good enough, and averaging around 14,000 a game *really* isn't good enough. This team needs to set a target of better stadium attendance each and every season.
Winning Cures Everything
We'll start with the most obvious solution: winning. Colorado started the decade by winning MLS Cup in 2010 and following it up with a solid 2011 season. They've been adrift ever since, save their surprising 2016 campaign. Whatever gains they made that season in capturing the attention of the Denver-Boulder metropolitan area and claiming media attention were almost instantly squandered with the disastrous 2017 season. Ditto the 2018 rebuilding year. And now, 2019 has also become a rebuilding year. The team needs a turnaround, and it needs to sustain it. Colorado also knows that it takes more to win in the modern MLS, and cost commensurately more as well.
This column is not dedicated to my thoughts on how to rebuild the Rapids, not only because it's a whole 'nother topic, but also because I think I've written this article twice in the past several years and just can't stomach doing it again (at least right now).
Suffice it to say what might be obvious: there will be tremendous pressure in 2020 and 2021 to win and compete. Another year at the bottom of the table would likely result in a lot of front office and coaching-staff turnover, and continued erosion of the already-anemic attendance might put the very existence of the team in Colorado in jeopardy. Why struggle to sell tickets in Commerce City when fans in San Antonio, San Diego, and North Carolina are dying to get a chance to see to have first-division soccer in their hometown?
Shift the Marketing Focus - Part I, Where It Has Been
Anecdotally, it seems to me that the Rapids front office's marketing and advertising efforts have been primarily dedicated to groups 1 and 4 above: soccer families and generic sports fans. And I think it's been reasonably successful. Group 5, the English Premier Leaguers, are a tough and expensive get. The key method of converting EPL fans to MLS is by bringing a former EPL player over to your team, and hoping that the Manchester United and Chelsea fans you attract will stick around after their beloved hero retires. That might work in attracting folks to an unestablished club like NYCFC, and with Beckham, this play jump-started the entire league. But we will see when Wayne Rooney leaves whether DC United will retain the new fans after he is playing for Derby County.
Colorado could try this - to some degree, they did in getting Tim Howard, who came with a tremendously high profile to the Rapids after playing for Everton and Manchester United. But like I said, it's really expensive, and in terms of getting a player in good form, the results are hit (Beckham, Rooney, Year 1 of Drogba) or miss (Gerrard, Lampard, Year 2 of Drogba).
Bringing in an EPL team like Arsenal is also meant to convert Anglophiles over to MLS, in addition to just making a team scads of cash. But again, it's a tough sell. EPL fans are drawn to the glitz and the quality of the best league in the world, and I'm not entirely sure that they feel an affinity for 'soccer' the same way they feel for 'Manchester'; they like football on television, but don't seem to be electrified to a sufficient degree by soccer in person. I don't really understand the psychology of this type of person, but somebody ought to do a doctoral thesis to explain the phenomenon of the American fan of Liverpool who has never seen an actual soccer match in person, anywhere.
Shift the Marketing Focus - Part II, Where It Ain't Been
That leaves us with two groups that Kroenke Sports and Entertainment has yet to truly attempt to capture in earnest: millennials and the Latinx market.
Millennials will need several things to decide the Rapids are worthy of their time. Essentially, they want a sports experience that isn't like the sports experience of their parents - with Aramark concession stands, bad jock jams pump up music, and t-shirt cannons. Instead, they need an authentic, unique experience. Confetti and tifos and a legitimate supporters culture; avant garde food options; a feeling that the gameday experience is an event worthy of posting on instagram. There are some ways in which the Rapids provide that - the C38 tailgate, for instance.
And other ways in which the experience has fallen short.
Compare everything Forward Madison and Las Vegas Lights have done in USL this year to everything the Rapids have done. Both teams have offered whimsical and strange elements that were fun, but not forced. They tried to be very different; to stand out. They don't take themselves so damn seriously. They have fun. They also care about the quality of play, but primarily, they care about the fan experience (including the merch, and the team colors and design template) being *different*. These are teams tailor-made for the instagram era. By comparison, the Rapids have a small fireworks display - fun for kids, sorta meh for adults since it's de rigueur amongst American sports teams - and DJ Jen Jones, who is forgettable at best, and Poochie the Dog at worst.
The other challenge is location. Millennials in Denver live in the Highlands and LoDo, RiNo and Five Points and Aurora. From all of those places, there's no easy way to get to DSGP. Many supporters have dreamt of an easily accessible downtown stadium for the Rapids, perhaps located where Elitch Gardens is (Elitch's is adjacent to the Pepsi Center and also owned by KSE). I'm neutral on that proposal, but crafting a plan for a more accessible DSGP would be a good first step.
In short, the Rapids are still being marketed almost exclusively for soccer families. It needs to be better - more fun, more real, less corporate and generic and identical to what folks would get at a Nuggets or an Avalanche game. The game day experience falls short of what it should be.
Then, there's reaching the Latinx market. But that topic is worth exploring all by itself in a column down the road.

SJM to apply for up to 500 tables for Grand Lisboa Palace
May 23, 2016 Newsdesk Latest News, Macau, Top of the deck
The chief executive of Macau casino operator SJM Holdings Ltd, Ambrose So Shu Fai (pictured), said the company is planning to apply for "400 to 500" new live gaming tables for the under-construction Grand Lisboa Palace in Cotai. The firm previously had stated it planned to apply for 700 new gaming tables for the property.
Mr So told reporters on Friday that SJM Holdings would file an application for the new tables once construction of the Cotai project was nearing completion.
Grand Lisboa Palace is scheduled for completion "around the end of 2017", the company stated in a filing earlier this month.
The management of SJM Holdings had said – at a ground breaking ceremony in February 2014 – that it hoped to have up to 700 gaming tables and over 1,200 slot machines at Grand Lisboa Palace.
Under the arithmetic of the Macau government's gaming table cap, several investment analysts covering the gaming sector expect that the four upcoming casino resorts in Cotai will each receive 250 new live gaming tables.
Upcoming major schemes still to launch in Cotai include: Wynn Palace from Wynn Macau Ltd; Parisian Macao from Sands China Ltd; MGM Cotai from MGM China Holdings Ltd; and Grand Lisboa Palace.
The two big new Cotai resorts that opened last year each received the same size of table allocation – 250 new-to-market units.
Studio City, a US$3.2-billion Cotai gaming resort majority-owned by Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd, had made a great play of its non-gaming facilities in the run-up to its opening on October 27 as an argument for receiving at least 400 tables. In the end it got the same allocation as the HKD19.6-billion (US$2.5 billion) Galaxy Macau Phase 2 which opened on May 27. It is an extension of Galaxy Macau, a resort developed by Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd.
Mr So said on Friday that SJM Holdings would wait for the government's table allocation for Grand Lisboa Palace before looking into the possibility of shifting tables from some of its other Macau casinos to the Cotai property. The latter scenario would be in case SJM Holdings did not receive enough new gaming tables for Grand Lisboa Palace.
The SJM Holdings chief executive told reporters that it was still "hard to predict" whether the Grand Lisboa Palace project would face any construction delays. He said the project so far was progressing as scheduled.
Upon completion, the Grand Lisboa Palace will cover a total gross floor area of 521,435 square metres plus 77,158 square metres of parking area. More than 90 percent of the total area will be devoted to non-gaming facilities, including three hotels: the Grand Lisboa Palace Hotel (over 1,450 rooms), Palazzo Versace Macau (around 270 rooms), and a Karl Lagerfeld-branded luxury hotel (also around 270 rooms).

Adventure/Drama - 124 min Reviewed by Charlie Juhl on 17 Aug 2016
Director Timur Bakmambetov said his initial reaction was "absolutely not." Oscar-winning writer John Ridley said, "The most ardent fans…might find it blasphemous to revisit it in any form…" Then, for God's sake, why did Paramount and MGM opt to remake Ben-Hur? Did anyone you know ever raise the idea of remaking the 1959 Biblical epic and winner of 11 Oscars? No, they did not; because it's an awful idea and even worse in execution. There have been other adaptations of the original 1880 novel by Lew Wallace, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ, including the 1925 silent version, and even a 2003 animated film. However, there is no need for a CG-infused, Roma Downey executive produced, re-hack. New technology does not make a mind-blowing chariot race, the Romans still looks like Romans, Jerusalem looks like a small Italian village, and the entire enterprise is a lesson in incredulity.
You know you're watching a poorly produced action film set in the long, long ago when all of the actors speak with different accents. Ben-Hur has American, British, fake British, and what sounds like Persian-American. One of the worst films in the last decade, The Legend of Hercules, had the same anomaly. What is also inexplicable is why the studios maintain the new Ben-Hur is nothing like the one you remember in 'an everything is fresh and in 3D' bravado. Bullshit! The new Ben-Hur is a two-hour version of the almost four-hour film you remember. Just about everything is the same except Morgan Freeman gets an expanded role as the chariot owner.
Even though your teenagers have never heard of an old film named Ben-Hur that pops up on basic cable a couple times a year, they will not be thrilled with the updated spectacle designed to entice them into theaters to figure out why their grandparents are griping about the remake. The too familiar story about brothers torn apart by hate and saved only by love, forgiveness, and about two dozen dead horses in a chariot massacre will not pull the new generation away from what they really want, Sausage Party and dour superhero blockbusters.
Let's talk about the updates. Filmmakers have had around 55 years to dream up ways to advance Ben-Hur so let's explore what they did with all that time in between. Director of Photography Oliver Wood, most famous for the first Jason Bourne trilogy and maybe Face/Off, went digital to give us super in-your-face shots of chariot drivers and galley slaves. There is even Go-Pro work so we can experience 3D chariots thunder over our heads just like in NASCAR. You can see all of these whiz-bang gimmicks any Friday of the week in whatever new film hits theaters, but I will give Oliver Wood one head nod. His shot of a Greek vessel ramming Judah Ben-Hur's Roman ship is perhaps the most memorable shot in the film because of the random Roman soldier strapped to the bow of the ship Mad Max style whose blood spurts all over the screen. There was a collective "oooh" in the audience when that happened.
By far, the most striking visual sequence in the movie is the naval battle. This should not be the case in a film centered and advertised entirely around a chariot race. Look at the movie poster; there are Judah (Jack Huston, American Hustle) and Messala Severus (Toby Kebbell, Warcraft) looking like they are on a roller coaster ride. Look at the previews, Morgan Freeman (Now You See Me 2) as Ilderim, looking like George Clinton from P-Funk All Stars, says Judah's most effective revenge will come in the Roman Circus arena on chariots. Nope. The naval clash not only incorporates the unnecessary 3D the best, but it's simply the more intriguing scene. Anyone who cares for horses will also prefer the aquatic setting. Unlike the 1959 film, which used concealed wires to deliberately trip real horses leading to dozens of equine deaths, Bekmambetov uses 2016 computer generated editing techniques to invent all new ways to slaughter horses on the track.
Ok Debbie Downer you say, what about Jerusalem? Surely the new version looks amazing and nails it in the crucifixion scene, pardon the pun. I've never been to Jerusalem, but I've seen the news. Where are all the near vertical rocky hillsides with palaces dug into the sides? Where is the enormous ravine overlooking forested hillsides? It is more than obvious Ben-Hur is filmed in southern Italy, and that's fine, but if anyone involved in the filmmaking mentions the authenticity and research, they should be laughed out of the room. As for the crucifixion, Risen already did that earlier this year in a much more realistic method; Bekmambetov films his version in a more idealized fashion; think Son of God, another Roma Downey secretion.
Costumes? Costume Designer Varya Avdysuhko, who works with Bekmambetov on all his films including Wanted (2008) and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012), said, "we used little tricks to make them slightly more contemporary." I agree. I didn't know first century seamstresses were able to create such perfect and visible sewing machine stitching. I know this reads angry and bitter, and if you sit through Ben-Hur too, those are two feelings you will come to know very well. Viewer beware.


Hi I sent an email for testing 3.7.1. I sent one for Apple TV which was accepted and one for Shield which I haven't heard back from. Is that because it's only possible to test 1 device?
Did you check the Google beta test subforum?
not necessarily, the sync was to pick up browsing for shares and update to their current code base.
When calling the section "TV-shows" with initial setting "unwatched" the appearance of the cover wall is as expected. But wrapping around from "unwatched" to "watched" or "all videos" all other thumbnails but those of the "watched" ones are disappered. You can only get them back through "exit" and enter the TV shows again (initial setting "all videos" or "watched". I got screenshots, but dont't know how to upload them.
This behavior is reproducable and new to v3.7.1. The appearance of the cover wall is correct under 3.7.0.

There is a bug in scraping TV shows. Some new TV shows can't get scraped at all (e. g. "The Typist", theTVDB id=344465, IMDB=tt6879486). Here the TV show info is to be found, but none of the 5 episodes.
Another example is the show "4 Blocks" (theTVDB id=324080, IMDB=5754602). Here I added some episodes of a new season. The new season couldn't get scraped at all, so I decided to add the first episode (S02E01) by means of an OpenElec-environment, what worked without any problems (as well as for "The Typist"). But scraping episodes 2 - 4 doesn't work either (see attachment). I got other shows with the same result.
I encountered the problem again when scraping TV Shows, the progress goes from 1 to 100 over and over several times before it completes. When I tried to capture the logs for it though, I wasn't able to replicate the problem.

Education group proposes new report card to measure school quality
By Jeremy P. Kelley
While the Ohio House and Senate each consider bills to tweak the state K-12 report card system, a group of Ohio educators has proposed a more significant overhaul — evaluating schools less on state tests and more on how well they execute the state's strategic plan for schools.
Four of the six sections of the current state report card — achievement, progress, gap closing and K-3 literacy — are wholly or largely based on how well students score on state tests. That meant when tests were canceled in spring 2020, Ohio had little to offer families as far as evaluating school quality.
ExploreGroups clash over House bill to change state report card
The Ohio Department of Education's own strategic plan says the state should "move toward a varied system of assessments that allows students to demonstrate academic competency and mastery in ways beyond state standardized tests."
The Urban Network group that wrote the new report card proposal says scores in tested subjects reflect only a fraction of what schools do, adding that Ohio's strategic plan lays out the 10 strategies schools are supposed to follow.
"It's just that simple. We have a plan, so we should measure it to see how well the plan is being implemented," said Lorain City Schools Assistant Superintendent Ross May, who helped lead the Urban Network plan. "We think (the state plan) makes a lot of sense and lends itself well to measurement … rather than just a report card based on state tests."
Ohio's strategic plan for schools puts four domains on equal footing — foundational academics like English and math, other subjects such as science and the arts, social-emotional learning (including decision-making), and leadership/reasoning, which includes problem-solving and creativity.
ExploreLegislature offers some graduation relief for high schoolers
The current report card largely measures only the first of those four domains, via test scores. As the Urban Network and many others have pointed out, the results of those tests have traditionally mirrored the wealth or poverty of each community — conflicting with the state's push for equity in education.
The Urban Network proposal suggests measurements for the state's 10 strategies.
For example, Strategy 1 is about hiring more highly effective teachers and supporting them. The proposal suggests measuring that via teacher evaluation data, data on whether high-quality teachers are leaving schools, plus data that's already on the report card, such as the percentage of teachers working in a subject for which they're not licensed.
State test scores would still be part of the report card, under the "accountability" piece of the 10 strategies. But the network suggests pairing test scores with other measures of school quality — for example, how many arts classes or extracurriculars does a school offer, and what percentage of students participate?
Strategy 7, on school climate and "meeting the needs of the whole child" would be measured via things like the ratio of nurses and counselors per student, student chronic absenteeism, plus school discipline data on suspensions.
ExploreDayton students learning to be firefighters, paramedics
May said creating a report card is a challenge of "threading the needle" between good robust measures, and enough simplicity so everyone understands it. Another member of the Urban Network group, Canton teachers union President Paul Palomba, said their proposal does that.
"(It asks) how are we educating the child holistically, what opportunities do students have, how are we meeting their emotional needs, how are they exposed to the arts and extracurriculars, what do we know about the teachers, what do we know about the principals?" Palomba said. "Those are simple enough for people to understand. But that's what we're not doing (currently)."
Earlier this month, state Rep. Don Jones helped introduce House Bill 200 to revamp the K-12 state report card. The bill would remove schools' overall rating, replace the A-F letter-grade system, stop grading the "Prepared for Success" high school component, and soften some scoring rules. But most of the core report card structure would stay the same.
Jones said he likes the Urban Network Plan, but he called it a huge overhaul that could be considered in the coming years after HB 200 is resolved.

"We said, let's get the low-hanging fruit — get the stuff fixed that we don't like about the current report card before we try to move to something that is 100% different," Jones said.
Meanwhile state Sen. Andrew Brenner, chair of the Senate Education Committee, introduced Senate Bill 145 last week. Brenner was meeting with education stakeholders about his bill Friday. The Legislative Service Commission has not yet published an analysis of the provisions of Brenner's 156-page bill.
The Ohio School Boards Association said it supports "the work and dedication" of the Urban Network to improve and "fundamentally change" Ohio's report card. But OSBA is also focused on House Bill 200.
"House Bill 200 provides an immediate fix to the shortcomings and flaws with our current report card system and can be implemented in time for the next school year," said Will Schwartz, deputy director of legislative services for OSBA. "The Urban Network proposal represents a long-term solution for structural change."

Poisoning after eating puffer fish containing highly lethal tetrodotoxin (TTX) is widespread in Asia. In 2008, naïve inland populations in Bangladesh were exposed to cheap puffer fish sold on markets. In three outbreaks, 141 patients with history of puffer fish consumption were hospitalized. Symptoms of poisoning included perioral paraesthesia, tingling over the entire body, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, headache, abdominal pain and muscular paralysis of the limbs. Seventeen patients (12%) died from rapidly developing respiratory arrest. Blood and urine samples from 38 patients were analyzed using a TTX-specific enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). Medium to high TTX levels were detected (1.7-13.7 ng/ml) in the blood of 27 patients. TTX was below detection level (< 1.6 ng/ml) in 11 blood samples but the toxin was detected in urine. Ten patients had blood levels above 9 ng/ml and developed paralysis; seven of these died. The remaining patients recovered with supportive treatment. High concentrations of TTX and its analogues 4-epiTTX and 4,9-anhydroTTX were also found in cooked puffer fish by post-column liquid chromatography-fluorescence detection. To prevent future instances of puffer fish poisoning of this magnitude, measures should be implemented to increase awareness, to control markets and to establish toxicological testing. To improve the management of this and other poisoning in Bangladesh, facilities for life-saving assisted ventilation and related training of healthcare personnel are urgently needed at all levels of the health system.

Union Announces Another Strike on UC
November 13, 2013 at 5:00 am by Carissa Quiambao
The American Federation of State, County and Municpal Employees, or AFSCME 3299, declared a patient and care service worker strike against the University of California this past Friday on allegations of attempts by the UC to illegally threaten union-involved employees.
After a stagnant tug-of-war over employee UC pension reform that has persisted since October 2012, this will be the second time AFSCME will strike since their last two-day strike of UC Medical Centers in May. Despite the University's efforts to come to a compromise with AFSCME after welcoming them back to the bargaining table — in response to AFSCME's Unfair Labor Practice Strike vote last week — AFSCME refused to budge.
UC Office of the President Spokesperson Dianne Klein said the union responded unreasonably to negotiations to the future detriment of UC patients and the UC as a whole.
"We showed flexibility and responsiveness," Klein said. "We proposed several packages that included significant movement on wages, pension, health care benefits, and other issues that are important to the union. AFSCME rejected all of these offers."
According to AFSCME representative Todd Stenhouse, the refusal had more to do with the UC's behavior in other facets of the employee work environment — particularly the "use of illegal intimidation and coercion" and the University's "levels of unsafe staffing" — not contract bargaining.
"It's important to remember the context here, of bargaining," Stenhouse said. "Bargaining over contract is one very distinct and separate issue. Illegal intimidation at the workplace is an entirely separate issue. It is separate and distinct from the contract fight."
But Klein said the Public Employment Relations Board, or PERB — who are holding hearings on the allegations — have not determined that the university has done anything wrong, and that the issuance of a complaint has only "allowed the matter to be adjudicated."
"I want to point out that AFSCME is characterizing this as an unfair labor practice strike, and they allege that we intimidated employees during the strike in May…but they did that as a negotiation tactic," Klein said.
According to Klein, hearings are scheduled for March in Oakland at the PERB offices, and a decision will be made after these hearings. Klein also said the union's claims that UCOP committed unfair labor practices are "simply not true."
However, Stenhouse said issues regarding illegal intimidation and "chronically understaffed" workers are pressing matters and that the union is looking to address "real, serious problems" like pension reform.
"The UC has gone to great pains to conflate the two, but there is no conflation to be had," Stenhouse said. "If we're fighting for safe staffing in our contract, fat lot of good it does us if UC is threatening worker's jobs…They did it in May, and some of that is continuing to this present day."
But Klein said the strike will not be beneficial for either side, "We do not believe the strike, whether it's in sympathy or whatever, is productive for anybody," she said. "I mean, it certainly is detrimental to our patients and our campuses."
