Nerds, We Got a Show: Wil Wheaton Talks "The Wil Wheaton Project"
"Nerds, we got a show," were the first words uttered by host Wil Wheaton during the premiere of Syfy's new half hour genre talk show The Wil Wheaton Project last Tuesday.
Aiming to hold up everything science fiction, fantasy and horror to the light, the weekly half hour show will continue to point out the weird and wonderful in the land of genre TV over the summer, Tuesdays from 10 pm.
"If Attack of the Show and Talk Soup had a love child and it was born with a beard, then it would hopefully look something like our show," Wheaton quipped to reporters during a recent press conference call.
"A little over a year ago, Pilgrim – the studio that produces the show – contacted me and said hey, we have this idea for a show that we'd like you to host and what they pitched me was like a talk Soup style show for paranormal reality shows and I said that sounds really funny because those shows are ridiculous," explained Wheaton of the show's origins.
"We sat down and started developing the show and somebody said, you know, instead of just paranormal reality, let's do scripted paranormal too and that got really funny and then somebody said, you know, maybe instead of doing scripted and reality paranormal shows, we should do some of the other kind of nerd shows that we like. We should do all of genre fiction! And that seemed like a really good idea and we started writing that and eventually about a year later we ended-up with what is now The Wil Wheaton Project. The entire development process was really fun."
"We just like what basically throughout the development process, we just kept making everybody in the room laugh and we were making each other laugh and the show was getting more and more funny and I think you'll see tonight the result of that development process."
What genre favourites will be covered as time goes on? Wheaton outlined the difficulties of reporting on shows during the summer period when many were on hiatus, or recently announced as cancelled including Game of Thrones which was off air the week of the show's premiere episode. However with several fan – and Wheaton favorites – still airing, or about to kick off over the next few weeks, Wheaton maintains that there is still plenty of ripe material – including future Game of Thrones moments.
"Orphan Black is my favorite thing on television right now," he said. "We'll be talking about that for sure. There are a bunch of things coming up throughout the year. I am really excited for The Strain. The trick is taking something that really requires you to settle in and sit with it for a couple of hours and pull out five seconds to make a reference to."
"SyFy's got a show coming up called Ascension that my friend Tricia Helfer is in and I am really, really excited for that. I know what's going to happen in like I know the story arc for that show and I think it's going to be just the coolest thing ever so those are some of the things that I'm looking forward to."
"And then we also have permission and a big of a directive from the network to cover things that are not on television and movies so we can do comic books, we can do literature, we can do video games so whenever the next installment of the King Killer Chronicles comes out. I'll be able to talk about that and we'll be able to dig a little bit deeper into our culture."
"I'm really looking forward to covering the next release of Dungeons and Dragons and going to Gen-Con and maybe to Origins and covering what's happening in the world of TableTop gaming and if we can do some crossover with my show Tabletop on Geek and Sundry, I am going to embrace that for sure. So when we say we're talking about the stuff that we who live in our world love, that's not marketing. That's just a fact."
With so many potential geek references and pivotal TV moments to cram into a half hour slot, how does the selection process occur? Wheaton admits that a "a wonderful team of researchers and producers" are assigned to cover certain shows. "It's not possible for all of us to watch everything so the researchers watch the shows and will point out when something silly happens or something notable happens," he notes.
"All of us all day long are looking at things on the Internet. I'm looking at things on Reddit and we're coming across things on YouTube. Fans of this genre so we are constantly taking in and processing the things that happen in our culture so we gather up a whole bunch of stuff. Our executive producer Doug has a big board in his office and we just put stuff up on the board on an index card that says where we think a thing's going to go, and how it fits into the four-act structure of the show and then we start working it out and we start writing jokes and we start watching clips and trying to make each other laugh."
Wheaton admits to being "heartbroken" when Syfy made a creative decision to move away from hard scifi in the past, a move the channel has moved to rectify of late with a number of original science fiction, fantasy and horror series in the works including Dominion, 12 Monkeys, Ascension, Defiance and more.
"I am so excited to be part of that [renaissance]. I feel like 'm grabbing the tail of a phoenix and it's climbing into the sky and I'm super excited about that so, you know, I don't want to go anywhere. I'm really happy here.
The Wil Wheaton Project continues Tuesdays at 10:00 pm on Syfy throughout the summer.

A PROPOS DE CASR3PM

Le management aujourd'hui est un processus global. Les dirigeants qui réussissent comprennent et apprécient la diversité et tout ce qu'elle implique en termes de culture, langues, systèmes de valeurs, éthique, politique, économie et conduite des affaires.

De nos jours, l'environnement compétitif requiert une capacité à créer de la connaissance, à innover et manager de manière responsable. Un « processus darwinien » est à l'œuvre, et seuls ceux capables d'adaptation survivent. La meilleure éducation au management prépare les étudiants et les cadres à l'excellence, pour l'économie de la connaissance, et à la responsabilité.
Les connaissances et savoir-faire évoluent sans cesse et les nouveautés d'aujourd'hui peuvent devenir obsolètes dès le lendemain. Dans ce contexte, la durée de vie des nouvelles idées et pratiques est de plus en plus courte et l'éducation au management se doit de suivre et d'anticiper leur dynamique.

Ainsi l'objectif principal de CASR3PM est de promouvoir l'excellence académique en matière de management de projet, programme et portefeuille:

  Diffusion d'un esprit d'excellence, de professionnalisme et de responsabilité

  En offrant une véritable éducation internationale

 Nous voyons la réalisation de ces 6 objectifs comme étant la clé d'une éducation en management efficace dans notre
      monde dynamique et turbulent. Dans ce contexte, CASR3PM offre un ensemble de programmes postgraduate (Master, MBA et
      Doctorat). Chaque programme permet de développer un haut niveau d'expertise et de professionnalisation, en lien avec
      la demande des organisations et en cohérence avec son intérêt et sa motivation. Les programmes s'appuient sur les standards
      professionnels les plus avancés et sur les derniers développements en recherche. Les participants aux différents programmes
      peuvent préparer et passer les examens conduisant aux certifications professionnelles internationales reconnues. Les
      programmes renforcent l'employabilité des participants, leur mobilité et leur valeur ajoutée professionnelle. Ainsi
      les participants – étudiants ou professionnels – peuvent trouver un environnement parfaitement adapté dans lequel ils
      peuvent développer leurs compétences managériales et leur sens du Leadership.

Q: AWS Elastic Beanstalk - Failing to install requirements.txt on deployment I have tried the similar problems' solutions on here but none seem to work. It seems that I get a memory error when installing tensorflow from requirements.txt. Does anyone know of a workaround? I believe that installing with --no-cache-dir would fix it but I can't figure out how to get EB to do that. Thank you.

One traditional news media company has decided to step out of its cable TV comfort zone and enter the streaming world.
CNN will be launching an on-demand service, and here's what we know so far about CNN+.
The streaming service will launch on March 29th and costs $5.99 per month ($60 a year). But, if you subscribe early within the first four weeks, you'll have a lifetime subscription that'll be 50% off—just don't cancel it.
Are you wondering if there'll be an ad-supported pricing tier?
Not for now, so sorry advertisers.
CNN+ will showcase eight live shows, 11 weekly programs, and feature over 1,000 hours of content, including original movies and TV series.
You can submit questions while watching live programs, participate in polls, and be selected for interviews if you're a subscriber.
Andrew Morse, an EVP and CNN Worldwide's Chief Digital Officer, said, "March 29th will be an important day in the history of CNN and CNN+ will be a critical part of our future." And with that being said, CNN will be hiring hundreds of people to prepare for this new service.
Morse said this is going to be the "biggest launch" for CNN since it was founded in 1980.
CNN+ will launch early before the planned merger between CNN's parent company WarnerMedia and Discovery. WarnerMedia also owns HBO Max. That means it's possible that HBO Max, CNN+ and Discovery+ could be bundled together.

Tour do Amor é o primeiro álbum ao vivo da cantora brasileira Pamela, lançado em junho de 2017.

Produzido por Márcio Carvalho, seu marido, o disco foi baseado na turnê Tour do Amor, apresentada pela cantora entre os anos de 2016 e 2017 com a intenção de revisitar o repertório romântico lançado ao longo de sua carreira.

O disco, que conta com distribuição da gravadora MK Music, inclui a inédita "Pra Quem Se Humilhar", lançada como single em maio de 2017, com gravação exclusiva em estúdio. O cantor Paulo César Baruk participa nos vocais de "Vou Amar-Te (Vou a Marte)" e o cantor Wilian Nascimento em "Um Verso de Amor".

Como bônus, o projeto inclui as seis canções do álbum em versões instrumentais (playbacks).

Antecedentes
Em dezembro de 2016, Pamela estreou a turnê Tour do Amor, focada no repertório romântico de sua carreira, e com foco em apresentações em teatros. No mesmo período, a cantora anunciou que assinou contrato com a gravadora MK Music, pela qual lançou discos entre 2002 a 2010. Na época, ela disse:

Gravação
O álbum reúne músicas de diferentes períodos da carreira da cantora, com foco em músicas lançadas a partir de 2002. O cantor Paulo César Baruk participa nos vocais de "Vou Amar-Te (Vou a Marte)" e o cantor Wilian Nascimento em "Um Verso de Amor". Além disso, a obra traz a inédita "Pra Quem Se Humilhar", escolhida como single da obra.

Lançamento e recepção

Tour do Amor foi lançado pela gravadora brasileira MK Music em junho de 2017, e recebeu avaliações favoráveis. Em crítica publicada pelo Super Gospel, Tiago Abreu defendeu que a obra é o projeto "mais coeso" da discografia de Pamela, e que "é um trabalho equilibrado, nostálgico, e que soube respeitar as estruturas das gravações originais".

Biography: John J. McCloy
He has been called "the most influential private citizen in America" by Harper's magazine, "the conscience of America" by DIE ZEIT, and "the godfather of the new Germany" by former Federal German President Richard von Weizsaecker. John Jay McCloy, however, would have demurred that he was merely part of a team attempting to salve the wounds of the war, with a goal of reintegrating Germany into the postwar world. Indeed, he wrote that when he was appointed U.S. High Commissioner for Germany in 1949, to serve as the top U.S. official in the defeated nation, "our goal was to transform Germany from an occupied enemy into a trusted and reliable partner."
Born in 1895, Mr. McCloy was educated at Amherst College and Harvard Law School. He interrupted his legal studies when World War I broke out to enlist in the U.S. Army, and he served with distinction as an artillery captain in France. Upon his graduation from Harvard, Mr. McCloy worked as a lawyer at the Wall Street firm of Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft and then with Cravath, de Gersdorff, Swaine & Wood, where he remained for more than 15 years. He dedicated more than a decade of his life to investigating an emotional case of Imperial German sabotage in New York Harbor that dated back to 1916, almost a year before the United States had entered World War I. The so-called Black Tom Island explosion case went on to become a landmark in international law.
Mr. McCloy was "present at the creation" of the post-World War II world order, to borrow Dean Acheson's phrase, and he had a unique role in shaping the political landscape. His public service career began in 1940, when he became an advisor to Secretary of War Henry Stimson, before serving as Assistant Secretary of War from 1941 to 1945. In one of his first key wartime policy decisions, Mr. McCloy saved the historic town of Rothenburg ob der Tauber from a planned American attack. When diehard Nazi troops dug in behind the city's medieval walls, Mr. McCloy suggested that the town might be persuaded to surrender without dropping any bombs. Negotiations began and the town gave up the following day. He was later named a patron and honorary citizen of Rothenburg in gratitude. In another example of his foresight, he was steadfast in his opposition to the Morgenthau Plan, which in essence would have extinguished Germany's industrial ambitions and established an agricultural society. The plan was ultimately defeated. In the summer of 1945, together with Secretary Stimson, he drafted a comprehensive plan for the economic rehabilitation of Europe in general and Germany in particular. Mr. McCloy was part of the small circle of trusted presidential advisers who were aware of the Manhattan Project. Mr. McCloy strongly recommended a political solution to end World War II in Japan, but events took a different turn, toward Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
In 1947, after a year with the law firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hope, Hadley, & McCloy, he was appointed President of the World Bank. In this capacity, he chartered a course for development efforts for years to come. Mr. McCloy stepped down from this post when he was named the first civilian U.S. High Commissioner for Germany by President Truman. At a time when many Americans were wary of connections to a recent foe, Mr. McCloy set out to build bridges between the citizens of the two nations and to support Germany in its efforts to adopt democratic principles and join the community of Western nations. He also was a pivotal figure in granting Chancellor Konrad Adenauer the authority truly to govern his own country, in concert with the Allied High Commissioners.
Mr. McCloy and his wife, Ellen Zinsser McCloy, were pivotal in the formative years of the American Council on Germany, along with other prominent figures, such as Eric M. Warburg, Lucius Clay, and Christopher Emmet. Founded in 1952, the Council became a nexus where these luminaries could build on their personal mission of bringing together people from both sides of the Atlantic and fostering a transatlantic community where individuals could share ideas and gain a better understanding of one another. Mr. McCloy, who served as the Chairman of the Council from 1972 to 1987, believed strongly that younger Americans and Germans in particular would benefit greatly from meeting their transatlantic peers. In fact, former Minister-President of Saxony Kurt Biedenkopf put it well when he said that Mr. McCloy "had a way of assuring the younger ones that they were headed for a bright, interesting, constructive, and very important future," even in the aftermath of a devastating war.
After returning from Germany in 1953, Mr. McCloy was named Chairman of the Chase National Bank, and he oversaw its merger with the Bank of Manhattan in 1955. He went on to become President Kennedy's advisor on disarmament and was Chairman of the General Advisory Committee on Disarmament from 1961 to 1974. President Kennedy's declaration of "Ich bin ein Berliner" might not have become a reality were it not for Mr. McCloy. The President's advisors had warned JFK not to travel to the city, where tensions were high in the summer of 1963. President Kennedy changed his mind only after consulting with Mr. McCloy, who admonished him that he should not go to Germany at all if he did not go to Berlin. Mr. McCloy negotiated the U.S.-Soviet Joint Statement of Agreed Principles of arms control and disarmament in 1961, which led to the first earnest arms control agreement. In addition, he drafted the bill that led to the establishment of the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency. In the wake of President Kennedy's assassination, he was named a member of the Warren Commission.
Mr. McCloy served in a number of other leadership capacities throughout his life, including Honorary Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Council on Foreign Relations and Chairman of the Ford Foundation, and served on the Boards of various firms, including Mercedes-Benz of North America. Mr. McCloy received a litany of accolades for his work, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He also was named a citizen of the city of Berlin, the highest distinction the city can bestow, and an honor which has been awarded only a handful of times in postwar history.
Mr. McCloy's vision of a Europe united in cooperation has become a reality in many ways today. When Mr. McCloy called on Chancellor Adenauer as he was departing as High Commissioner, the Chancellor asked him for his personal advice on future German policies. Mr. McCloy's answer was: "Make peace with France; two world wars were enough." He was instrumental in Germany's admission into NATO. He also advocated American acceptance of the Schuman Plan, which led to the birth of the European Coal and Steel Community, then the European Economic Community, and eventually the European Union.
In his distinguished career, spanning the private and public sectors, Mr. McCloy served nine U.S. Presidents and remained a strong believer in the value of the German-American relationship, staying active in the American Council on Germany until shortly before his death in 1989. The Council's programs today are the living legacy of Mr. McCloy, a true architect of the postwar world order whose commitment to transatlantic dialogue was unwavering.

The American Council on Germany is fully operational. However, due to COVID-19 all in-person events have been suspended and all staff members are working from home until further notice.


Today is my daughter Ellen's 17th birthday so in honour of that here are a few pictures. We have had a quiet weekend at her request – we went to Nottingham yesterday to visit the Robin Hood exhibition then out for a meal at which this pic of her and Jake was taken.
Today we went for a girlie afternoon trip to the cinema to see '27 Dresses' which was very good. Here she is with her birthday cake and her favourite bear with its new outfit which was a birthday present from her friend Charlotte.
Ans I know she will probably hate me for this but I couldn't resist showing you one of her looking cute at 1 day old to go with the rest of these lovely pics – so here she is!
How time flies! Happy birthday darling from all of us.
Another exciting acquisition, some religious art and some Tudor textiles!
Medival costume trauma…and lovely daughter!

Stenting for inferior vena cava stenosis after liver transplant
Jeffrey Donaldson, Nancy A. Obuchowski, Rebecca T. Le, Laura Lomaglio, Robert H. Unger, Maria Del Pilar Bayona, Amanjit Gill
Objective. A case series analysis and meta-analysis were performed to assess the efficacy of stenting for inferior vena cava (IVC) stenosis after liver transplant; a secondary analysis assessed demographic factors as potential predictors of all-cause mortality. Materials and Methods. Liver transplant recipients treated for symptomatic IVC stenosis at a major medical center from 1996 to 2017 were assessed. The main medical databases were searched for studies evaluating stenting in liver transplant recipients with IVC stenosis. Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to determine predictors of survival (age, sex, reason for transplant, stent size and number, publication year). Univariate and multivariable models were constructed. Because patients in the case series and metaanalysis had similar demographics and outcomes, the results were pooled. Results. The case series included 40 patients (31 treated with stents; nine, without stents). Meta-analysis of 5277 records identified 17 eligible studies involving 73 patients. Stenting was effective in resolving the gradient in 100% of patients and in relieving symptoms in 85% of patients. Primary stent patency at latest follow-up (median, 556 days) was seen in 113 of 118 stents (96%; some patients had multiple stents). Reason for transplant was the only significant predictor of all-cause mortality; patients with hepatocellular carcinoma had a higher hazard of death than those undergoing transplant for other reasons (hazard ratio = 3.23; 95% CI, 1.40-7.42; p = 0.006). Conclusion. Stenting for IVC stenosis after liver transplant is clinically effective and durable, with 96% of stents showing long-term patency and 85% of patients experiencing symptom relief.

Today, Bride and Groom are making a lifelong commitment to share the rest of your lives with each other and to honor your son as well. Your family relationship is symbolized through the pouring of these individual containers of sand; one representing you Bride, and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be, one representing you Groom, and all that you were, all that you are, and all that you will ever be.
Your son will share in this marriage as part of the family being joined. The gathering of this new family will have a deep influence upon them. We realize that in order for the home to be a happy one, it is essential that there be love and understanding between the children and the adults being married. As you each hold your sand, the separate containers of sand represent your lives to this moment; individual and unique. Each one holds its own unique beauty, strength, and character. They can stand on their own and be whole, without need of anything else. However, when these three are blended together they create an entirely new and extraordinarily more intricate entity. Each grain of sand brings to the mixture a lasting beauty that will forever enrich the combination.
We will begin with a layer of neutral sand which symbolizes this marriage that is grounded, as God has set the foundation.
Bride and Groom, please pour the sand into this common container to symbolize the union of your lives.
You may now blend the sand together symbolizing the uniting of Groom and the two of you into one. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage and your family be.
As you now combine your sand together, your lives also join together as one family. Just as these grains of sand can never be separated and poured again into the individual containers, so will your marriage be a molding of two individual personalities, bonded together forming one heart, one love. The life that each of you experienced now, individually, will hereafter be inseparably united, for the two shall become one family.

Biden Will Keep Troops In Kabul Past Deadline
Written By BlabberBuzz	| Friday, 20 August 2021 19:00
The United States may fail to stick to the self-imposed Aug. 31 deadline to withdraw from Afghanistan if it has not finished evacuating citizens, according to President Joe Biden.
In an exclusive interview with ABC News' George Stephanopoulos, President Joe Biden said the U.S. is committed to getting every American out of Afghanistan -- even if it means potentially extending the mission beyond his Aug. 31 deadline for a total withdrawal.
In the exchange with ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, Biden announced U.S. troops would remain in Afghanistan if Americans still needed extracting.
"We've got like 10 to 15,000 Americans in the country right now. Right? And are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every American who wants to be out is out?" Stephanopoulos asked Biden.
"If there's American citizens left, we're gonna stay to get them all out," Biden said.
The Biden administration estimates between 10,000 and 15,000 Americans were in Afghanistan at the time when the Taliban entered Kabul last weekend and assumed control of the country after deposed Afghan President Ashraf Ghani fled. That does not include the 50,000-65,000 Afghan nationals awaiting special visas, who now fear retribution from the Taliban for assisting the U.S. during the 20-year war.
In the interview, President Biden insisted his team would work to meet the Aug. 31 deadline, expedited from the Sept. 11 end date he laid out when he first announced the withdrawal in April.
"Americans should understand that we're gonna try to get it done before Aug. 31," he said. "We'll determine at the time who's left."
Despite extricating roughly 700 people on their first day of operations, the Biden administration hopes to fly between 5,000 and 7,000 people a day to safety from Hamid Karzai International Airport.
"The commitment holds to get everyone out so that, in fact, we can get out and everyone who should come out. And that's the objective. That's what we're doing now. That's the path we're on. And I think we'll get there," he declared.
The president cautioned that his focus is on completing the mission by Aug. 31, but when pressed by Stephanopoulos, conceded the mission could take longer.
Biden's comments go further than statements from his Cabinet and aides. Hours before clips of the interaction were released, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters the U.S. would keep evacuating Americans "until the clock runs out."
Biden and his staff have been criticized for the chaos that ensued earlier this week at the airport, now the only way out of Afghanistan. A handful of people died attempting to escape by clinging on to the outside of a U.S. military plane.
However, Biden defended their actions Wednesday.
"No, I don't think it could have been handled in a way that, we're gonna go back in hindsight and look — but the idea that somehow there's a way to have gotten out without chaos ensuing, I don't know how that happens," he insisted. "I don't know how that happened."

Bauer constructs excavation pit for office building in Munich
In the Parkstadt Schwabing neighbourhood in the north of Munich, a new office building is currently being constructed on a 13,000m2 site. For the project Parkstadt Schwabing, MK3, Office Building Construction, Bauer Spezialtiefbau GmbH was commissioned by Argenta Internationale Anlagegesellschaft & Co. Grundbesitzgesellschaft OHG with the construction of the excavation pit including dewatering.
Bauer is constructing a 6,000m² single-anchored, mixed-in-place cut-off wall with a thickness of 550mm and embedded double U king piles up to a depth of 17m at a project in Munich
For the 9m deep excavation pit, Bauer is constructing a 6,000m² single-anchored, mixed-in-place cut-off wall (MIP) with a thickness of 550mm and embedded double U king piles up to a depth of 17m.
Moreover, 750m² of sheet pile wall are being installed with a maximum depth of 16m for dewatering. After sufficient uplift prevention has been achieved for the structure, the sheet pile wall will then be pulled out again. In addition, 3,000 running meters of anchors are being installed.
Due to impermeable tertiary layers in the area of the excavation base, depth drainage was used. This requires high logistics efforts and precise coordination with earthworks. Due to large soakaways in the public ground, it is also necessary to pivot the anchor in the MIP wall and increase the anchor distances, which means that staggered anchors with a load of up to 1,800KN are being used.
Because the level of the impermeable tertiary layer fluctuates widely throughout the site, the retaining wall is also being constructed with a final depth that varies by up to 5m.
"With our MIP method, we are able to vary the drilling depth as needed or adapt to the soil conditions. This offers us a major advantage compared to sheet pile walls, which were originally planned, since the lengths of the sheet pile wall have to be defined and ordered in advance," explained Bauer project manager Michael Doll.
An RG 27 and an RG 19 pile driver from RTG Rammtechnik GmbH are being used, respectively, for the construction of the MIP wall and the sheet pile walls, and a Klemm KR 806 rig is executing the anchor work.
Bauer started works in May this year and the dewatering system and dismantling of the anchors and sheet pile walls is expected to be completed by early 2022. The completion of the office building is planned for 2024.

This week Jim and Greg discuss the 25 year history of one of music's best independent labels - Touch and Go Records. They'll also review new records from Yo La Tengo and Lupe Fiasco.
The internet phenomenon of the year, YouTube, is again making headlines this week. Warner Music Group struck a deal to make its library of music videos available to the website. This is the first time a record company has agreed to distribute its content through a"user-generated"media company. Now webgoers can enjoy videos by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Madonna, and of course, everyone's favorite sand romp video by Chris Isaak. Warner seems to be recognizing the Internet's value in promoting artists — an attitude that stands in stark contrast to most other major labels. Of course Warner will also be monitoring its YouTube content, which leads our hosts to believe that large-scale corporatization and homogenization is not too far in the distance. What this deal means for a future LonelyGirl15 remains to be seen.


VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) - The Valdosta State Blazers aren't the only football team trying to claim a title in the city.
The Wildcats are currently in the quarterfinals of the playoffs, Rodemaker and the boys, aren't looking to slow down.
The Wildcats will be facing off against the Dacula Falcons for the first time in school history.
Valdosta is making it's second quarterfinal appearance in three years, coming off that state championship in 2016.
South Georgia's 6-A region currently has all four of it's playoff contenders still in the hunt, but the Wildcats are looking to claim state title number 25, as Rodemaker looks for number 2.
Alan Rodemaker said their offense has done well for them, but if they want to win state, it's their defense that will be the deciding factor.
The Wildcats will be on the road to face Dacula Friday night at 7:30 P.M.


Daniel Wellington is strengthening its expansion in global travel retail, opening more than 35 stores in key travel destinations during the past six months.
Helen Wong, head of travel retail at Daniel Wellington, told Inside Retail Asia that the watch brand has consolidated its brand image in travel this year through stronger collaborations and exclusive concepts.
"We are approaching the travel retail experience not only on a product level, through our new Daniel Wellington travel retail-exclusive products, but also through elevated brand concept environments," she said.
The company opened at Shenzhen Bao'an Airport last month, marking the first Daniel Wellington boutique in a travel retail location at a Chinese airport.
In Malaysia, the brand has partnered with Dufry to open at the Genting Highlands integrated resort, northeast of Kuala Lumpur.
And in Thailand, Daniel Wellington has signed the lease for its first store, to be opened at Chiang Mai in partnership with local duty-free retailer King Power.
Travel is also on the agenda in South Korea, where the brand is consolidating its presence with renovation projects planned across 16 locations, including in Seoul, Incheon, Busan and Jeju. The brand is also targeting premium destinations and has designed a new furniture concept specially for travel retail locations, (pictured).
Other travel retail openings this year include a first store in Cam Ranh Airport, which serves the popular Vietnamese tourist destination of Nha Trang.
Besides opening stores in travel-related locations, Daniel Wellington has developed products exclusive to these stores this year, including the Classic Cambridge 36mm style modelled on the 40mm size, one of the brand's first styles launched.
Wong said the company's greatest focus during coming months will be to solidify the brand awareness through controlled distribution and a global social media strategy for travel retail.

With many sufferers, Meniere's and anxiety go hand in hand. The sheer stress of constant symptoms and the worry that vertigo attacks can strike unexpectedly is enough to bring anyone down to lows they had never experienced before pre-Meniere's. But if you already suffered from clinical anxiety and you now have Meniere's it can be a different story. It becomes a chicken and egg scenario and can be too much to take.
If you suffer from both Meniere's disease and anxiety then you will want to read Sarah's story below. The links to Meniere's and stress are perhaps underscored in her story and it is always nice to hear success stories like this to give sufferers hope.
Also see below Sarah's story the connection between anxiety disorders and gut health, which can be a very important though often missed factor.
Why My Story Will Shock You…And How After What Seemed To Be An Endless 3 Year Battle, I Eventually Rid Myself Of Anxiety And Panic Attacks Within Days. Soon afterwards my Meniere's was a thing of the past too.
I am now healthy again and have my life back.
If you're thinking about using outdated anxiety techniques like deep breathing, supplements, drugs, or any other product to get rid of anxiety, I'm extremely relieved that you've found my story because not only will my story shock you, it'll almost certainly save your health, your money as well as a lot of time and heartache.
I suffered from anxiety disorder and I had the added horror of suffering from Meniere's disease. The Meniere's I did mostly control with supplements and diet but it wasn't until I rid myself of my problems with anxiety that I fully recovered from that too. The anxiety and Meniere's became a vicious circle and it was impossible to know which was causing which. I thought I would go over the edge crazy with it all. Perhaps I did at times.
Below I will tell you exactly why over a 3 year period I tried but was forced to give up with Paxil, Seredyn and a range of other products and programs……and how I finally managed to get rid of my anxiety and panic attacks completely with a unique program called 'Panic Away'. It was so simple in the end it is hard to believe t be honest.
My Name is Sarah Martin and like so many other people who suffer from panic attacks and general anxiety, I spent so much time and money desperately trying to find a cure.
Until 3 years ago I'd never had any emotional problems at all. I had always felt I was a pretty easy going balanced person who didn't really fret over anything. Suddenly a few years ago my husband's business started to have problems and our income dropped dramatically. I wouldn't have minded but we had recently bought a house and the loan was just a little more than we could really afford.
My own job started to become increasingly stressful and my whole lifestyle was altered. I was sleeping a lot less and my diet became quite poor, which was very unlike me.
My self confidence and confidence in my home situation both began to slip away, and things that had never bothered me before would eat away at me and I started to struggle continuously with anxious thoughts. I couldn't believe these minor things could have such an effect on me. But even so, I still didn't really feel I had problems. I still felt generally healthy and always liked to keep fit.
My first panic attack really shocked and scared me. I had just gone to bed. I was very tired but couldn't sleep. I suddenly felt shaky, nauseous and dizzy. I started to physically panic. My heart was beating out of my chest and I couldn't breathe properly, my throat felt swollen and thought I was going to die. I know it sounds crazy but I really thought I was going to pass out and die. I shook my husband trying to scream but my voice had no power and I started sobbing. He woke up and hugged me and calmed me down. I couldn't believe what had just happened to me and thought I was really starting to lose my mind.
I started having anxiety attacks like this at the strangest of times and would panic over the slightest little thing. I couldn't find the sugar or remember someone's telephone number. I just couldn't understand what was wrong with me. But I knew I had to get some help and soon. The final straw was not being able to face the idea of looking after my sister's little daughter, who I absolutely adore.
Soon the first symptoms of Meniere's appeared, tinnitus and and blocked ear. That is another long story altogether though. I honestly feel this was brought on by the anxiety.
I found it hard to go and see my doctor and felt embarrassed to talk to him about what was happening to me. He said I had "general anxiety disorder" and was suffering from "panic attacks". Well I think I could have told him the latter.
The doctor told me if I took Paxil I would probably be okay within 3 weeks. I was very apprehensive about taking an anti-depressant and felt ashamed about it. I was right to feel apprehensive. It didn't agree with me at all. I began to feel like a zombie. I had always loved exercise and had a "healthy appetite", I loved cooking and loved eating even more. On Paxil, I felt so weak I could hardly be bothered to get out of bed, let alone get up for my morning jog, forget that. I had no appetite at all and to top this I would break out in sweats and would shake all the time. I had other side effects that I am too embarrassed to even mention and my love life suffered greatly.
I was a totally different person, and my husband was so worried he begged me to come off the Paxil and try something else. I was scared and insisted we wait at least three months. After two months I realized I had to give up on this and try something else. It was not easy coming off it though, so be warned.
I only lasted a month on Zoloft. I suffered more embarrassing female problems and still felt drained all the time, would break out in sweats and had the added problem of feeling more dizzy than before with Meniere's and my joints would ache all the time, sometimes swelling up. Sometimes I had this really strange feeling, as though electric shocks were shooting through my body. I know it sounds odd, but it is the only way I can explain it. With the help of my husband I quickly got off the these drugs. It wasn't easy though. Again I felt scared. After quitting I felt like I had a horrible Flu and my body ached. And my Meniere's was getting worse and worse.
After my experiences with Paxil and Zoloft I wanted to get away from the idea of drugs. I found information on the internet about a supplement called Seredyn. It is supposed to be natural so seemed like a much better alternative. I had a few side effects but nothing like as bad as the drugs. I still felt tired all the time and sometimes had headaches and an upset stomach. I could live with these but ultimately it didn't really help me. I still found myself having attacks and felt pretty anxious all the time.It didn't help being anxious about about a vertigo attack striking any moment. Ironically while my condition was getting worse, my original worries, financial worries, were getting better! My husband's business picked up again and my own workload decreased to a sensible level again. You'd think the anxiety and panic attacks would go away with this but it didn't. I just couldn't understand it.
I started getting all kinds of health problems and the horrors of Meniere's disease could fill a book. In fact I am thinking of writing one.
Finally I tried a "therapist", who was suggested to me by a friend. Her "talk therapy" sessions and deep breathing were of absolutely no help at all. She was a very nice lady but unfortunately she couldn't help me. This was all starting to get me seriously depressed.
Having spent so much time, money and energy desperately trying to succeed with pills, supplements and therapy that ultimately had very little effect except make me feel worse in other ways was a big regret and made me very pessimistic and negative. This negativity only made my Meniere's worse I am sure. However the next thing I tried was called Panic Away and to my surprise it actually worked.
I had read a little about it before while searching on the internet, but because of my recent experiences, despite all the apparent credibility in the media, I thought it sounded a little dubious. After reading some extremely complimentary reviews though, and learning that the cost was minimal compared to everything else I had tried, I decided to give it a go.
Although it did take a little longer for me to feel better than it says on the web site. I did manage to completely rid myself of anxiety and feel better in a few days, which if you suffer like I did, I am sure you'll agree is pretty astonishing. I am now at a stage where my confidence has fully returned and I can go about my day happily and go to bed without the fear of another panic attack and I no longer have Meniere's symptoms. I wake up happy and feeling positive and I am back in the gym and running again in the mornings, something I wouldn't have thought possible just short time ago. And best of all I get to spend quality time with my niece again.
In my opinion, this was safer, easier and far far more effective than the other products I tried. I guess everyone is different but it worked wonders for me. The best part for me is that it is so simple, quick and effective and they even give you other really helpful advice, for example on what to eat and what not to eat with this condition. The exercises are so simple and easy and you don't even have to order any special pills or drugs from a website or anything like that.
Anyway, I hope you have found this information useful, whatever your situation because if I had known about Panic Away 3 years ago I could have rid myself of the horrible anxiety I was feeling and the panic attacks long ago and without wasting so much of my time and money on these other things I tried.
When Mike Spencer from Meniere's Help asked me if he could use my story on this blog to help others I was very eager to get writing and help.
I read through a lot of the Meniere's Help website and read Mike's amazing book, The Need for Balance and I have to say that helped me recover from Meniere's. It also made me understand the very real links between stress, anxiety and Meniere's. I wouldn't want anyone to suffer with Meniere's or Anxiety disorder like I did. I thought my life was over. But I want you to know you really can get over it. Look at me, here I am now back to the old happy go lucky me. I hope my short story helps others the way other people's stories helped me find my way.
The origins of depression and anxiety has actually been traced to the gut health, or rather the lack of it. Considering gut health has also been linked to Meniere's disease in at least some people, understanding this and knowing how to keep your gut healthy must be an important factor in keeping both anxiety and Meniere's out of your life.
As far back as the 1900's scientists and health professionals emphasized the relationship between gastrointestinal health and mental health. At some point in the following three decades this opinion was flipped upside down and it was thought that mental health influenced gut health.
However, interest and knowledge of the importance of gut health is now at an all time high. The understanding of gut bacteria has increased greatly in recent times. Studies and exploration into gut health has revealed that gut bacteria imbalances are related to mood and behavior issues.
Diet, environment and the state of the immune system are all influential in gut health and therefore mental health and indirectly the health of the ear.
"The gut is connected to the brain via the vagus nerve, the enteric nervous system, and the gut-brain axis. The vagus nerve extends from the brain stem down into the neck, thorax, and abdomen. The nerve exits the brain stem through rootlets in the medulla that are caudal to the rootlets for the ninth cranial nerve. The vagus nerve supplies motor parasympathetic fibers to all organs except adrenal glands, all the way from the neck down to the second segment of the transverse colon. It helps regulate heart rate, speech, sweating, and various gastrointestinal functions.
The enteric nervous system connects with the central nervous system. It contains 200-600 million neurons. Local and centrally projecting sensory neurons in the gut wall monitor mechanical conditions in the gut wall. Local circuit neurons, on the other hand, integrate this information. This enables motor neurons to influence the activity of the smooth muscles in the gut wall and glandular secretions such as digestive enzymes, mucus, stomach acid, and bile.
The enteric nervous system has been referred to as a "second brain" because of its ability to operate autonomously and communicate with the central nervous system through the parasympathetic (i.e., via the vagus nerve) and sympathetic nervous systems.
Research has shown the gut microbiota influences brain chemistry and behavior. For example, people who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and the associated cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, diarrhea, and constipation, commonly suffer from depression and anxiety as well.
A healthy diet is one way to encourage a healthy gastrointestinal tract. Base your diet on fruits and vegetables. Add fermented foods, such as kefir and yogurt, to your diet for a good, natural source of probiotics.
If you don't consume probiotic foods, consider taking a high-strain probiotic supplement such as Floratrex, which also contains prebiotics, to promote a healthy gut environment.

2019: Inside the APC Crises: Senators battle state governors
byKemi Busari
They might belong to the same political party, and enjoy perks of offices based on their positions, but there is no love lost between them. At least eight senators, elected on the platform of Nigeria's ruling APC are having serious battles with their state governors, also members of the ruling party.
In some of the cases, the conflicts are geared towards the 2019 elections. In others, it is simply a battle for supremacy and ego. While lawmakers elected on platforms different from those of the state governors are reasonably expected to challenge the policies of the rival parties, the highlighted APC crises show that it may be worse within the party's own leaders. In most of the cases, there appears no way of resolving the crises despite the various efforts of the APC and the presidency.
Listed in no particular order, PREMIUM TIMES highlights some APC senators and governors who are currently at loggerheads.
KOGI: Dino Melaye Vs Yahaya Bello
The unending political feud between the senator representing Kogi West, Dino Melaye, and Kogi State Governor, Yahaya Bello, has become a familiar episode in Kogi politics. The major political attack was the move to recall Mr. Melaye by members of his constituency. Thousands of signatures were collated and sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission which made arrangements for verification of the signatures, the recall process later became a legal battle. Even though Mr. Bello has repeatedly denied his involvement, the senator has continued to finger the governor as the sponsor of his planned removal from the National Assembly.
The crisis reached another height in April 2017 with the reported assassination attempt on Mr. Melaye in his country home in Ijumu Local Government Area. The police later arrested the sole administrator of Ijumu, Taofiq Isa, and released him on bail over the incident. The case is also in court.
Similarly, in November 2017, the two politicians almost had a bloody clash when the convoy of Mr. Melaye was attacked after he delivered a speech at the Kabba Day celebration.
In other times, Mr. Melaye has unapologetically called Mr. Bello names; 'olodo governor', 'daft' and suffering from 'verbal diarrhoea'. In early 2018, he posted a video where he claimed he saw Mr. Bello dressed in prison uniform. Firing from the other end, Mr. Bello has accused the senator of lacking 'home training.'

Except the APC is able to resolve the crisis, which looks unlikely, one of them, most likely Mr. Melaye, is expected to leave the APC before the 2019 election.
KADUNA: Shehu Sani Vs El-Rufai
The altercations between these two have recently become more frequent than when it started. The crisis dates back to 2015 when, after the elections, El-Rufai made some appointments from the party, APC, in a manner perceived as unconstitutional by Mr. Sani and others. In his defence, the governor said the nominees Mr. Sani sent to him for appointment were dropped because of lack of necessary academic competence and capacity to function as commissioners. In the heat of the altercations between these two, Mr. El-Rufai dropped a bombshell in 2017 when he warned his political opponents not to fight him, saying when late President Umaru Yar'Adua fought him, he died.
Kaduna State Governor, Nasir el-Rufai
Mr. Sani has not been silent. He criticises a lot of the policies of the state government and the governor's party activities he perceives as wrong. When he was suspended from the party in 2017, he accused the governor of masterminding his ordeal describing him as a 'parasite to PMB administration.' At several other occasions, he described the governor as 'dubious progressive,' 'lunatic,' 'irresponsible.' Mr. Sani was at the fore-front of opposing the governor when he announced an education reform that would lead to the sack of 21,000 Kaduna teachers and employment of more 'better qualified' ones.

Already, partly based on the crisis, the APC in Kaduna is split into different factions although the one loyal to the state governor is recognised by the party leadership in Abuja. It is not clear how or if the party will be able to resolve the crisis especially as Mr. El-Rufai's political adviser, Uba Sani, is already gearing up to take the senator's seat come 2019.
KADUNA: Hunkuyi Vs El-Rufai
Still in Kaduna, Suleman Hunkuyi representing Kaduna North has also in recent times taken on the governor. The genesis of their disagreement is difficult to trace given the fact that Mr. Hunkuyi' younger brother was appointed commissioner and his elder, Idris Othman, was for many years a close associate of the governor.

Although it has not been as rough as the battle between Mr. El-Rufai and Shehu Sani, all indications point that there is love lost between the two. Just recently, as in many other occasions, Mr. Hunkuyi vowed to "do everything possible" to vote Mr. El-Rufai out in 2019. Even though the governor has been silent on this, there is no doubt that the two have scores to settle ahead of next year elections.
The conflict with Mr. Hunkuyi will make Mr. El-Rufai arguably the only APC governor in conflict with all his party's senators from his state. Mr. Hunkuyi now has the support of another faction of the Kaduna APC.
ZAMFARA: Marafa Vs Yari
The struggle for political space in Zamfara State has brought the governor, Abdulaziz Yari, and senator representing Zamfara Central, Kabiru Marafa, at loggerheads in recent times.
Immediate past governor of Zamfara State, Abdulazizi-Yari
The political quagmire took an interesting dimension in November 2017, when the senator alleged that the governor was not an indigene of the state. This followed the senate's refusal to confirm the nomination of Ahmad Mahmud as REC nominee for the state as a result of a petition written to the committee on INEC by Mr. Yari. In another appearance at plenary, Mr. Marafa alleged that the governor and his deputy know the militia laying siege on the state.

Mr. Yari in his response to the allegation said in a statement by his Special Adviser, Salisi Isah, said that the senator's comments were 'mischievous, callous and misleading.' The governor went further to threaten Mr. Marafa's 2019 ambition. "Yes we are going to kill him politically, we are going to bury his political ambition in 2019. He wants to be governor, he is not going to get it, even the Senate he is not going to return," he said in a statement.
The feud continues as Mr. Marafa's support for the REC nominee is yet to yield its desired result just as the security crisis in Zamfara State has not abated.
KANO: Kwankwaso Vs Ganduje
For the two terms they worked together as a governor and deputy, Rabiu Kwankwaso and Abdullahi Ganduje, stood out among other political office holders for a harmonious working relationship. Things however started getting sour some months after the 2015 elections which saw Mr. Ganduje emerge as the state governor and Mr. Kwankwaso as the senator representing Kano central.
Rabiu Kwankwaso
On October 21, 2015, during the 59th birthday of former Mr. Kwankwaso, which is usually marked in Kano as Kwankwasiya Day, instead of the allies of the two politicians to come together to mark the event, the pro-Ganduje elements celebrated it at the Government House, while those who identified themselves as loyalists of Mr. Kwankwaso, led by his former Chief of Staff, Yunusa Dangwani, held theirs at Mambayya House in Kano. Another perceived genesis of the feud is the appointment of state executives by Mr. Ganduje. None of the commissioners in Mr. Kwankwaso's executive was retained by Mr. Ganduje, with the exception of Nasiru Gawuna, who was commissioner for agriculture under Mr. Kwankwaso.

Meanwhile, for reasons many have described as political, Mr. Kwankwaso has not visited Kano since May 2015. In January when he decided to do so, the feud got a renewal. The rift got to a head when two rival political camps, Kwankwasiyya and Gandujiyya, fixed rallies for the same area on the same day. Clashes between supporters of both camps had left many injured but Mr. Kwankwaso refused to shelve his 'grand visit' despite police warning. He later jettisoned his planned visit, saying he wanted to allow peace and security prevail.
BORNO: Kyari Vs Shettima
Their 2019 ambitions appears to be putting Governor Kashim Shettima and Abu Kyari, the senator representing the northern senatorial district of the state, against each other.

The senator who is currently nursing an ambition to occupy the state government house is not in the best of relationships with the governor who, many believe, is eyeing the northern senatorial seat in 2019.
To neutralise Mr. Kyari's ambition, Mr. Shettima is said to have initiated moves to draft the senator representing the central senatorial district, Baba Garbai, into the governorship race to succeed him.

Even though they are both in the same APC, the former allies appear not to be comfortable with their 2019 ambitions.
OGUN: Olamilekan Vs Amosun
The 2019 gubernatorial ambition of the Lagos West senator, Olamilekan Adeola, has brought him at loggerheads, not with his current state governor, but with the governor of the state where he aspires to govern.
Governor Ibikunle Amosun of Ogun is rounding off his two terms with the race to the Ogun State government house becoming fiercer by the day.

In seeming reference to the senator, Mr. Amosun, in November 2017, vowed for the second time that he would not hand over to a 'stranger' in 2019. Although Mr. Amosun is disposed to someone from Yewa part of the state succeeding him, he opposes Mr. Adeola who is from that part.

The governor said it would be an insult to the forebears of Ogun State if an 'Atohunrinwa' (stranger) should succeed him when there are true sons and daughters of the soil in abundance. Despite that, Mr. Adeola has vowed to contest with or without the governor's support. This subtle bickering has split the leadership of the party into two, with the Yayi faction enjoying the full support of a national leader of the APC, Bola Tinubu, while Mr. Amosun wants to be allowed to determine his successor.
ONDO: Boroffice Vs Akeredolu
Though the leadership of the All Progressives Congress in Ondo state has tried to dismiss the existence of cold war within its ranks, there are indications that all is not well between the Ondo North senator, Ajayi Boroffice and Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

Mr. Boroffice did not support Mr. Akeredolu's election in 2016. After the election, the governor and his supporters said they did not consider the senator a member of the APC and that he would have reapply to the party to become a member. Mr. Boroffice, however, fired back saying he never left the APC and remains a full member of the party.
The APC in Ondo is currently making moves to resolve its internal crisis with a former governorship aspirant, Olusola Oke, returning to the party. Mr. Oke left the APC after Mr. Akeredolu won the party's governorship primaries. He later contested against Mr. Akeredolu on another platform. Despite the reconciliation within the Ondo APC, there are however still indications that the differences between Messrs. Akeredolu and Boroffice remain unresolved.

To resolve these crises and others within the APC, President Muhammadu Buhari set up a committee headed by Bola Tinubu, the former Lagos governor.
Mr. Tinubu, PREMIUM TIMES learnt, is already meeting with some of the aggrieved parties.
