"There's no secret we had some challenges this weekend," said Graham Light, NHRA's senior vice president of racing operations. "But the first-round performances in the Fuel cars (Top Fuel and Funny Cars) showed that's it's certainly a good race track, and a safe race track. Otherwise, we wouldn't be sending cars down the race track if it wasn't safe."
Instead of returning to zMax Dragway on Monday, Light said that the elimination rounds for the four professional divisions – Top Fuel, Funny Car, Pro Stock and Pro Stock Motorcycle – would be completed as part of the qualifying rounds at next week's NHRA Fall Nationals in Dallas.
"Logistically, it just didn't work," Light said. "The teams are having to pack up their transporters, go over 1,000 miles to get to Dallas and get set up in time for next weekend ... that's just too much of a logistical challenge."
The Top Fuel and Funny Car divisions had completed their first elimination rounds, while the Pro Stock division was halfway through its elimination round when Gaines' wreck occurred. Light said NHRA officials were considering letting the Pro Stock division start over with its elimination round at the Texas Motorplex because of the track problems at zMax Dragway.
This weekend's NHRA Carolina Nationals was also the first race in the six-event Countdown to the Championship, which Light said presented its own logistical challenge.
The first four events are held on consecutive weekends, then there's a two-week break before the final two races in Las Vegas and Pomona, Calif.
The one good open weekend in that schedule would have been Oct. 11-12 – the same weekend as the NASCAR races at Charlotte Motor Speedway, right across N.C. 49 from zMax Dragway.
"We looked at the option of coming back here after Redding (Pa. on Oct. 2-5) ... that's off the table too," Light said. "We've never run up against a Cup race in the same market on the same weekend ... we just aren't going to do it. It would be suicide."
As Gaines, 67, approached the finish line at full power, his Dodge cut hard left. Gaines appeared to overcorrect to the right, sending his car sideways. It flipped over and barrel rolled four times before coming to rest on its wheels.
"All of a sudden ... man, it went around on me so fast I never had a chance," Gaines said after climbing from his wrecked race car. "I don't know what happened; it was just gone."
However, two drivers said that Gaines' wreck brought to a head problems that had been occurring all weekend with the racing surface, both in the rubber that had been laid down to give the dragsters additional grip, and the concrete track itself.
"The track was absolutely fine until the eighth-mile mark, then it was like driving on ice," said Pro Stock driver Greg Anderson, whose KB Racing team is based in Mooresville. "It's been bad all week, but (Sunday) it was 10 times worse. The temperatures went down, and the Fuel cars make all that power and downforce, and they were pulling it up."
Said Pro Stock driver Shane Gray, whose Gray Motorsports team is based in Denver, N.C.: "It was kind of a perfect storm. "I actually said that (Saturday) – that this was a perfect storm for someone to crash a car. I knew it was going to be bad when I was doing my burnout."

UAPB Prepars for TCU
By Luke Matheson OF THE COMMERCIAL STAFF
Aug 29, 2019 at 12:43 PM Aug 30, 2019 at 2:59 PM
As the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff football team finalizes preparation for Saturday's season opener at TCU, one descriptive stood out to UAPB head coach Cedric Thomas after seeing the Horned Frogs on film.
"The way they play is at warp speed," Thomas said. "Watching them at Ohio State or Texas, and they snap the ball really fast. It's just fast."
The Golden Lions and Horned Frogs will kickoff the 2019 opener just after 7 p.m., with a live television broadcast on FOX Sports Net. The UAPB Sports Network radio broadcast will begin at 6:30 p.m. with Lions Roar Pregame in Pine Bluff on FM 99.3 The Beat and in Little Rock on KOKY 102.9 FM. The game will also be available at uapblionsroar.com and on the UAPB Athletics Mobile App.
The Horned Frogs are coming off an up-and-down 7-6 season in 2018, winning their first two games before losing five of the next six before finishing the season with victories in four the last five contests, winning their final three games including an overtime win in the Cheez-it Bowl over Cal.
Head Coach Gary Patterson is entering his 19th season as head coach, the second-longest tenure of any coach at the FBS level. TCU has won 10 or more games 11 times under Patterson, including a 13-0 mark in 2010, ending with a Rose Bowl victory, and a pair of 12-1 marks, the last in 2014 ending with a New Year's Six Bowl win in the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl. That started the current streak of five straight bowl games for the Horned Frogs.
"They've played in a lot of big games," Thomas said. "They've played in some big-time bowl games. Coach Patterson has done a great job of building that program as such and the mindset of being one of the top teams in the nation. We have our hands full and we know it."
On defense, TCU allowed only two opponents in the high-scoring Big 12 Conference to reach 40 or more points last season
"Defensively, they give you multiple looks and are very sound and disciplined, which is always a good foundation to build a program on," Thomas said. "They also have big-time play makers in the kicking game. If you kick it to them, and you're not disciplined in your lane distribution, it can go to the house."

Who Dat Talkin Bout Beaten Dem Saints?
February 8, 2010 By SS360 Staff
I should have bet on the Super Bowl. After all, I did predict the New Orleans Saints would win, 24-20. I also wrote the Saints had a chance if they could protect Drew Brees. That's pretty much what happened.
Brees has replaced Archie Manning as the city's most popular sports figure. "Who Dat?" has just taken on a whole new meaning.
The Saints overcame a 10-point first-half deficit to defeat the favored Indianapolis Colts, 31 – 17. In so doing, the Saints won the Super Bowl for the first time in the team's 43 year history and unleashed a celebration in New Orleans that's going to last long beyond Mardi Gras… ... Read More

It's hard not to pick the Indianapolis Colts with Peyton Manning leading the charge.

Bart Starr, Archie Manning, Dan Fouts, Roger Staubach Where Are They Now
August 27, 2009 By SS360 Staff
It's always interesting for me to hear what athletes are up to after their playing careers have ended. Today I'll take a look at four quarterback greats.
Then…Bart Starr was quarterback for the Green Bay Packers from 1956-71, winning five NFL Championships and named MVP of the first two Super Bowls. He earned four Pro Bowl selections and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977. After his playing career, Starr was the head coach of the Packers for nine seasons from 1975–83 and compiled a 52–76–3 record.
Now…Today, Starr resides in Alabama and runs Healthcare Realty Management. He is co-founder of the Rawhide Boys Ranch, a place which assists boys in trouble. He's also a popular sports motivational speaker.
Archie Manning
Then…Archie Manning played for the New Orleans Saints from 1971 – 82. In 1972 he led the league in pass attempts and completions, and in 1978, he was named the NFC Player Of The Year by UPI. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 1978 and 1979. He went on to conclude his career with the Houston Oilers (1982-1983). He ended his 13-year career having completed 2,011 of 3,642 passes for 23,911 yards and 125 touchdowns. His 2,011 completions ranked 17th in NFL history upon his retirement.
Now…Today, Manning is best known as the father of NFL stars Payton and Eli. He resides in New Orleans and travels around the country as a sports motivational speaker. He's also served as a spokesperson for numerous companies, including UPS and Mastercard.
Dan Fouts
Then…One of the most prolific passers in NFL history, Dan Fouts led the NFL in passing yards four times and ended his career with 40,000 yards, the third player to surpass that mark. He led the Chargers to the playoffs from 1979 – 82 and twice to the AFC Championship. His career high of 4,802 passing yards during the 1981 season was an NFL record at the time. He was a six-time Pro Bowl selection and was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1993.
Now…Fouts lives in Oregon and has enjoyed a successful college and NFL broadcasting career with CBS, ABC and ESPN. He was an analyst on Monday Night Football alongside Al Michaels and Dennis Miller for two seasons beginning in 2000.
Roger Staubach
Then…After an illustrious career at Navy in which he won the 1963 Heisman Trophy, Roger Staubach helped the Cowboys become "America's Team". He led the Cowboys to four Super Bowl appearances, its first title in 1972 and a second one in 1978. He was named MVP of the 1972 Super Bowl and became the first of four players to win both the Heisman Trophy and Super Bowl MVP. When he retired in 1980, Staubach was the highest rated passer of all time at 83.4. The six-time Pro Bowler was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1985.
Now…Staubach has enjoyed as much success off the field as he did on it. Residing in Dallas, he started The Staubach Company, one of the largest commercial real estate companies in the country. He served as CEO of the multi-billion dollar company until he stepped down in 2007. The next year, the company was sold to Jones Lang LaSalle for $613 million.
PFP Sports and Celebrity Talent Agency is a speakers bureau and top booking agent for football speakers, athlete appearances and endorsements.

The Bottesini Project (Bottesini, 2008) ***½
Now, this is a tough one to review. On the one hand the music is relatively simple, both rhythmically as in its structure and expansion, until you find out that the whole thing was improvised on the spot, and that means that you need great musicians to perform at this kind of level, especially in a live setting. So, on the other hand, the band consist of great musicians, especially Ron Miles on trumpet, Jeff Parker on guitar and Scott Amendola on drums, acting as guests on "The Bottesini Project", an initiative by saxophonist Paul Riola, with DJ Olive on turntables and laptop, Glenn Taylor on pedal steel guitar and Doug Anderson on bass. It's not because it sounds rehearsed while being improv, that it is better music. The music is dark and slow, with lots of electronics as background, giving a soothening velvety feel to the overall sound, with a fixed rhythmic base over which the musicians improvise. Apart from electronics, the music has a rock approach, sometimes reminiscent of the electric Miles, but much darker and more modern, but also less intense and energetic, and the band integrates a lot, too much even, over a too simple framework, resulting in a jam band feel of a little higher order, but without doing anything spectacular either. Ron Miles is really great on this album, Jeff Parker is a little too much in a conventional mood to my taste, and Amendola is his usual subtle self. If they had reduced the whole program to something more condensed and focused, the overall effect would have been better. Now, its lukewarm.

Murtaza, seven, has faced threats because the family is perceived to be wealthy after publicity following his meeting with the footballer.
A young Afghan football fan who shot to fame after he was photographed in a Messi shirt made from a plastic bag has been forced to flee with his family to the capital after criminal gangs and the Taliban threatened to kill or kidnap him, his mother has said.
Since becoming an internet sensation, Shafiqa Ahmedi said her now seven-year-old son Murtaza, a fan of Argentinian soccer star Lionel Messi, has not been able to attend school and now they are living in an unheated room in Kabul.
"He is always cold," she said.
Temperatures in Kabul hover around 11C (52F) during the day.
The picture of Murtaza in his plastic Messi shirt playing football went viral on social media two years ago.
He met his hero in December last year.
"I wish Murtaza had never become so famous," she said.
"It has created a big problem for us and for him. For the last two years we have not been able to send him to school.
Criminals threatened to kidnap Murtaza after demanding money, assuming the boy's brush with fame somehow resulted in a windfall of money.
Taliban insurgents stopped local school buses asking if anyone knew of Murtaza.
They, too, had seen pictures of young Murtaza meeting Messi in the Middle Eastern state of Qatar, where he received a T-shirt from his hero.
The move to the Afghan capital three weeks ago has been painful.
Murtaza is the youngest of five children and the family is paying the equivalent of about 90 dollars a month for a room in Kabul.
Murtaza's uncle Asif Ahmedi said the family received at least 10 letters and several phone calls from a variety of criminal gangs threatening to kill Murtaza or kidnap him if they did not give them money.
"Everyone thinks that because he became famous that we now have lots of money, but we are poor people," he said.
Criminal gangs roam freely in most of Afghanistan, which has been at war for 17 years.
Most of the country's 38 million people are dirt poor and the country's police and army have been besieged by Taliban insurgents in near daily attacks.

As a fan of dark humor, I thought this was rather clever and funny at the time.
If you take a closer look at the comments, you'll notice that there are no comments from 2005. They all start in 2007. It turns out that at that time, I didn't have much traffic.
But recently, this post somehow found its way on StumbleUpon as well as a couple of other humor sites which drove a huge amount of traffic to my blog. The following graph shows you the number of visits per day.
As you can see, I enjoyed a brief spike in traffic, but things returned pretty much to normal soon afterwards.
What's interesting about this spike in traffic is that it follows the traffic pattern that you hear about when a site is featured prominently on Digg. In other words, what would you guess happened to the average time on my site?
You got it. There was a corresponding dip. Well that makes sense, there isn't much to read so most users looked at it and moved on. Was there a corresponding drop in the number of pages per visit?
A slight dip, but not by much. Most visitors to my site view only one to two pages at most per visit.
So there you go, if you want to drive traffic to your blog two years from now, post something really really funny. But keep in mind that this traffic is not qualified traffic in that it won't likely convert to new readers who actually enjoy the whole of your blog.
In general, I think it's best to focus on building the type of traffic you want. But if you have something truly funny to post, do share.
"it's best to focus on building the type of traffic you want, But if you have something truly funny to post, do share."
It's interesting how much creativity goes into those ads. It almost makes watching TV worthwile!
So this means that your blog has around 4-5000 visits per day... that's cool.
Mine is floating around 300 per day.

Манастир Страхов () је премонстратенска опатија коју су 1143. основали Јиндрих Здик, бискуп прашки Јован и Владислав II, војвода Чешке. Налази се у Страхову, у Прагу, у Чешкој Републици.

Историја

Оснивање манастира

После свог ходочашћа у Свету земљу 1138. године, оломоучки бискуп Јиндрих Здик добио је идеју да се у Прагу оснује манастир редовних каноника. Имао је подршку епископа Прага и Собјеслава I, војводе Чешке и — после његове смрти — Владислава II. Након Здиковог првог неуспелог покушаја да 1140. године на месту званом Страхов оснује чешку варијанту канонског реда, упућен је позив Премонстратенцима, чији су први представници стигли из Штајнфелда у долини Рајне (данас Немачка).

Монаси су почели да граде свој манастир прво од дрвета, са романичком базиликом као средиштем свих духовних активности у Страхову. Градња је постепено завршавана и настављена је изградња манастирских камених објеката, како би се привремени дрвени конак заменио трајним каменим објектом. Манастир је 1258. године тешко оштећен у пожару и касније обновљен.

Током Хуситских ратова
Манастир је функционисао све до периода Хусита, када су га напали и опљачкали грађани Прага 1420. године. Спаљене су књиге, богослужбени предмети и намештај цркве и манастира. Иако зграда није претрпела велика оштећења са архитектонског становишта, манастиру је требало доста времена да се опорави.

Током Хуситских ратова, година владавине Јиржија Подјебрадског, и времена до краја 16. века, Страхов је релативно замро. Разни званичници су покушавали да обнове првобитни манастир и његов верски живот, али су били неуспешни.

Тек доласком опата Јохана Лохела дошло је до преокрета. Овај духовник, пореклом из опатије Тепла, постао је игуман Страхова 1586. године и све његове способности биле су посвећене обнови Страхова. Настојао је да подигне духовни живот манастира, а као визитаторски циркариј премонстратенског реда у целини у Чешкој, посветио је пажњу и материјалном аспекту ствари. Реконструисао је цркву, обновио зграде опатије, основао радионице, подигао нови конак и трпезарију, уредио манастирске баште. Повратио је многа манастирска имања да би изградио материјалну базу манастира, обезбеђујући средства за одржавање и даљи развој установе. Захваљујући његовој неуморној активности, до 1594. године — само осам година након Лохеловог именовања — дванаесточлана заједница монаха могла је поново да живи у манастиру.

Током Тридесетогодишњег рата

Јохан Лохел је 1612. постао прашки надбискуп, а његов рад у Страхову је потом наставио нови опат Кашпар Квестенберг. Наставио је са скупим радовима које је започео Лохел, довршио доње манастире и прелатуру, па чак и подигао нову зграду у виду болнице Свете Јелисавете, и дозидао помоћне зграде и пивару. Осим тога, основао је норбертинску богословију у Новом граду, која је била намењена богословским студијама чланова реда. Све је то постигнуто током Тридесетогодишњег рата, када је и сам Кашпар Квестенберг био присиљен да побегне из Прага. Финансијски рачун трошкова његових грађевинских радова износио је око 100.000 толара, што је у то време била веома респектабилна сума за било какве грађевинске радове. У том погледу, трошкови Кашпара Квестенберга били су упоредиви са трошковима таквих неимара као што је његов савременик Албрехт Валенштајн.

Један од највећих догађаја у историји Премонстратенског реда био је пренос посмртних остатака Норберта Ксантенског, оснивача реда, из Магдебурга. Поновно сахрањивање се догодило под Квестенберговим опатством. То се догодило 1627. године и од тада мошти светитеља ктитора почивају у цркви опатије. За време Квестенберга завршена је и црква Светог Рока. Првобитно је то била заветна црква чију је изградњу започео Рудолф II, цар Светог римског царства, 1602. године у знак захвалности за крај куге 1599. године. Након бројних промена током година, црква је завршена, укључујући и њену унутрашњост, до 1630. године.

Када је Кашпар Квестенберг умро 1640. године, његов наследник је био Кришпин Фук, који је наставио да ради. Штавише, стекао је славу кроз учешће у радовима који су учинили Влтаву пловном у сектору званом Брзаци Светог Јована (Svatojánské proudy). Током овог периода, опатију су опљачкале трупе Шведског царства пред крај Тридесетогодишњег рата. Црква и библиотека су опљачкане. Након одласка Швеђана, Кришпин Фук је поново предузео поправку оштећене опатије, а његов рад наставили су игумани Амелуксен, Сутор и Францк. Последњи поменути је реконструисао прелатуру и изградио нову болницу Свете Јелисавете, јер је првобитна коју је изградио Кашпар Квестенберг срушена приликом изградње барокних утврђења у Прагу.

Теолошка сала

Године 1670. Јероним Хирнхајм, филозоф и теолог, постао је игуман Страхова. Његово највеће дело, које је опстало до данас, била је изградња нове библиотеке у такозваној Теолошкој сали (Teologický sál), завршена 1679. године. Током 17. и почетком 18. века, други игумани су наставили са обновом манастира. Бринули су и о цркви, која је у датом периоду више пута поправљана и украшавана. Манастир је доживео још једном значајне грађевинске активности, и то после јуриша француских и баварских трупа 1742. године, када је Праг бомбардован и озбиљно оштећен. Игуман је потом организовао изнова градитељске радове, при чему је црква са манастирским простором обновљена.

После 1950. године библиотека је укључена у Меморијал националне књижевности. Након догађаја 1989. године библиотека је, заједно са манастиром, враћена Премонстратенцима.  У оквиру библиотеке ради и читаоница. Библиотека Страхов садржи преко 200.000 томова, укључујући преко 3.000 рукописа и 1.500 првотисака који се чувају у посебном депоу.

Филозофска сала

Године 1779. Вацлав Мајер је заузео игумански трон и последњи је извршио велике грађевинске активности. Његово најистакнутије дело била је изградња нове библиотеке  сада у класичном стилу. Данас се зове Филозофска сала (Filosofický sál). Овим радом окончана је обимна грађевинска делатност у манастиру Страхов, а следеће генерације игумана су своју пажњу посветиле само мањим архитектонским поправкама, све под утицајем савремене моде, и одржавању краја у целини.

Манастир је на овај начин опстао све до 1950. године, када га је преузео комунистички режим, верници су интернирани и распоређени на цивилне послове, а врло мали број њих је могао да ради у свештеничкој управи као свештеници епархије. Манастир је подвргнут темељним археолошким истраживањима и претворен у Спомен-обележје народне књижевности. У току наведених археолошких истраживања откривен је и на осетљив начин реконструисан давно заборављени романички облик манастира.

После Плишане револуције
Након пада комунистичког режима 1989. године, манастир је враћен Премонстратенском реду, који је почео да реализује скупу реконструкцију зграде. До 1994. године црква је обновљена, изграђена нова техничка мрежа, новоизграђена Страховска галерија слика и обновљена Страховска библиотека. Извршене су и друге архитектонске рестаурације.

The Farm Bureau Four
Written by Don Carr
#ROA, Republicofawesome	Ag Lobby, food movement, politics Comments are off
Food and farm reformers have rightly been focusing on the presidential primary season, urging candidates to talk about agriculture and engage in "good food" issues. But there's another presidential race that will have profound impacts on our future food and farm system. And this contest has been flying under the radar of the good food movement.
The American Farm Bureau Federation is the largest and most influential agriculture group in the country (here's an in-depth profile I did on the group for Civil Eats). The group and its powerful state level bureaus are broadly responsible for our current agriculture system that prioritizes industrial-scale grain farms and livestock operators over smaller and more diverse operations. This system championed and tenaciously fought for by Farm Bureau members efficiently churns out cheap calories while externalizing environmental costs and social impacts onto the American public.
After 16 years at the helm, current president Bob Stallman announced his retirement earlier this year. Stallman has steered the organization through an era of intense transformation and scrutiny. Americans are now more focused on what they eat and how their food is grown than ever before. This has given rise to a host of contentious issues from GMO labeling to agriculture pollutants contaminating drinking water.
To that end, four men with leadership experience at state level have officially entered into the race to lead the national Farm Bureau. A helpful lens to view the Farm Bureau presidential race through is that of a binary political equation. In this equation, there's food activists or the "Food Party" on one side. On the other side is a consortium of conservative-leaning agriculture groups like the Farm Bureau, corporate food lobbyists and far-right politicians like Iowa's Steve King. A group I've taken to calling the "Corn"servatives. Thus, for the Food Party, the election of a new Farm Bureau president should be viewed as an event akin to electing a new RNC chairman.
Tomorrow, January 12th, at the Farm Bureau's annual national convention in Orlando, Florida, delegates from state bureaus across the country will elect a new leader. According to Southeast Farm Press:
The AFBF presidential election, which is for a two-year term, will be at the annual AFBF convention in Orlando Jan. 12. Each state is allotted voting delegates based on its number of Farm Bureau members. Additional delegates come from the AFBF Women's Leadership and Young Farmers & Ranchers Committees and the sitting AFBF president for a total of 355 voting delegates. The next AFBF president will need the support of 179 voting delegates at the convention.
Now no candidate is going to stray from the Farm Bureau's conservative roots, nor will they propose agriculture policy changes contrary to the current industrial agriculture model. There will be no exaltations of organics or praise for local food systems. If anything, a president's mandate is to ensure the status quo. By reading through agriculture trade press coverage of the race there is plenty of Cornservative talk from candidates about keeping government away from farmers and ranchers in the form of regulation and keeping taxpayers close in the form of unlimited opaque subsidies to mega farms.
The men vying to be the next Farm Bureau majordomo are:
Zippy Duvall has been president of the Georgia Farm Bureau for 9 years and is considered the odds on favorite to win due to the large number of southern members who could support him. Duvall is a relatively modest recipient of federal farm subsidy support receiving $233,000. (That number does not include crop insurance subsidies — now the main form of delivering federal agriculture welfare – because that information is barred by law from being released to the taxpayers that fund it.)
Duvall and his wife run a 250 brood-cow beef operation and raise poultry and hay. Duvall is fairly measured in his election rhetoric, sticking to meat and potatoes issues farm bureau members respond to like government overreach. For example, when asked by AgriNews, "what's the biggest issue facing farm families?" Duvall's reply was "the biggest issue is probably the gradual loss of our private property rights through the clean air, clean water and endangered species acts."
Don Villwock of Indiana has been the director of the Indiana Farm Service Agency and president of Indiana Farm Bureau. He is the candidate most likely to give Zippy Duvall a competitive race. Next to the South, the Corn Belt has the biggest voting block. Villwock, it seems, is also prone to more heated language than Duvall.
Villwock told Growing Georgia that he wants to "help our farmers and ranchers go on the offense and stand up against groups who do not necessarily share those values." Sounds like a call to arms against Food Party goals. He expounded on those sentiments with AgriNews, saying, "Our members want to go on the offense. They are tired of being abused in the media and on the Internet by false accusations. They want our positive story to be told and they want to be proactive rather than being reactive. I want to be their spokesperson or help quarterback a team that shares our great story."
Villwock also alluded to the free pass industrial agriculture gets in terms of pollution and externalized costs with AgriNews, underscoring the need to keep the rigged game in place. "Keeping our unwritten license with society to do what we do best will be our biggest challenge in the future."
Barry Bushue has been the Oregon Farm Bureau president since 1999. He faces an uphill battle for the big seat due to Oregon's lack of influence as relayed by this profile in Farm Progress.
Oregon farmer Barry Bushue knows that the cards aren't stacked in his favor for succeeding Bob Stallman as president of the country's largest agricultural organization.
Only one candidate from the West—the late Allan Grant of California—has won the presidency since the AFBF started in 1919.
Though the president has historically come from the Midwest and South, the two regions with the highest number of voting delegates, Bushue says that issues fronting farmers and ranchers today are much more broad-based than in years past.
Bushue is running on the perceived strength of a more diverse agriculture economy in Oregon. His anemic subsidy take of $90,000 is a reflection of the historic and comparative lack of large-scale commodity agriculture in his state in favor of "specialty crops." Bushe is also hyping his experience in running a conservative farm organization in a Democratic state as a bipartisan advantage. Sadly, most Cornservatives aren't that interested in playing nice with Democrats nationally.
Kevin Rogers of Arizona is a vice president with the Arizona Cotton Growers, and served on the Arizona Wheat Growers Association board. He's also been an AFBF Board member for six years including a three-year stint on the AFBF executive committee.
Rogers is staunch defender of the farm subsidy regime both in rhetoric and receipts. He told Western Farm Press "My experience ranges from supporting a safety net for program crops to defending multiple uses on public lands." His family's farm has also received $6.9 million in federal farm subsidies.
When asked what's the biggest issue facing farm families by AgriNews, Rodgers said (after fighting regulation) "the public's scrutinizing on what we do on farms and ranches." So should his long shot candidacy prevail, look for more ag-gag law talk.
Also, Rodgers isn't above throwing some friendly shade at his competitors by saying, "I'm the only one who wears a cowboy hat."
Hopefully once the winner is announced, I'll be able to follow up with an interview.

I remember my days as an assistant to a well known orthopaedic surgeon. I had joined his clinic just after the completion of my internship. His clinic has OPD and IPD sections along with an operation theatre. I was in charge of the IPD patients. It was the third week of May 2005. In that week two operations were scheduled – one was a hip replacement surgery and the other was a prolapsed disc surgery. Hip replacement surgery was successfully conducted early Monday morning on a 92 year old lady, who was admitted for another 7 days to recover completely. The other surgery for the prolapsed disc patient was scheduled on Saturday. She was admitted since a week, and as her complaint was not getting better via medications and physiotherapy, she was advised surgery. She had immense pain, so much that she could not move with out using a lumbo-sacral belt. This operation was a necessity to relieve her from the pain that the depressed disc was causing by compressing her herniated spinal cord.
This patient was a simple, calm lady with a family comprising of herself, her husband and their two sons. She was a middle aged lady with short hair, some of which were grey indicating the aging process. Fair complexion, large eyes with puffy skin below them, and weighing a little more than average, this lady spoke excellent English. Whenever I took her BP, I always admired how beautiful hands she had with perfectly manicured nails. The hospital staff liked her as she was unlike the other patients who always threw tantrums. Her family visited her twice a day and her children were very concerned about her ill health.
It is a routine to get some blood tests done before an operation. ELISA (test for HIV) is one of them. A technician from the pathology lab had come to collect her blood for the tests on Thursday morning around 7 am. The reports came in the evening. Most of her test results were normal or close to normal but unfortunately the ELISA showed positive results. This test is a very sensitive method to detect antibodies against HIV but requires another test, a Western Blot, to confirm the results because false positive result can occur. Yes, a positive ELISA test does put the person in the category that he or she may be HIV positive but the next test has to be done for confirmation.
The surgeon had disclosed the results to her and explained the importance of conducting the confirmation test. But her results had caused her immense aggravation, and she refused to go for any further tests. "Please doctor, give me discharge. I want to go back to my home. Please." These were her words on asking her to go for HIV confirmation test. There was some talk between the surgeon and the patient of which I or any other hospital staff were not a part of. The entire hospital staff (nurse, physiotherapist, interns, maid servants and myself) was called by the surgeon, and was asked not to discus this case in front of other patients (IPD and OPD). Also, we were asked to take some safety precautions ourselves while dealing with this patient. Since I was the in charge, it was my duty to look into this matter. I made sure that my staff is following all the instructions sincerely. Eventually, the patient was counselled, operated, had recovered and was happily discharged.
Before the arrival of reports, the entire hospital staff was treating her like a normal patient, but this report made us take care of her in a little different way. Initially we did not use gloves while administering her injectables or taking a note of her blood glucose levels. But once we were summoned, then the entire staff was very particular of wearing gloves while examining her or while injecting her with fluids or medicines. We were all cautious for some reason. That reason was fear of AIDS. But the fear was not a reason enough for the surgeon to not operate her. He performed the operation very confidently as he does on every other patient. My staff and I tried our level best to fulfil our obliged duties towards her as normally as we could. There was a radiant smile on the lady's face on the day of discharge as she was relieved from the pain that she was suffering for so long.
Sometimes, when alone, I did speculate the reasons for her acquiring HIV. I could not believe by her looks that she was an HIV positive. I, being a doctor, had read a lot about HIV and AIDS. I knew well about the modes of transmission. I knew that those results are yet to be confirmed. I knew that being HIV positive does not mean that she has AIDS. But I was still very cautious. Being cautious is sensible but to isolate an affected person is insensate. These patients are already in pain by learning this bitter truth of life. Our isolating or behaving abnormally with them will only add to their pain. If the doctors get scared and isolate such patient's then there will be no one to treat HIV patients.
Every time we wore gloves and examined her, there used to be a slight uneasiness in her behaviour. It made her nervous. May be it reminded her of her positive results. There are few rules which should be made universal in all hospitals like wearing of gloves while examining or administering injectables to all the patients, irrespective of the diseases they are suffering from. This will not just reduce the rate of occupational transmission of infections but it will also relieve an infected person from the mental soreness that the feeling of being inferior brings in.
Sometimes, even healthcare professionals do the mistake of making a sick realize the ghastliness of his or her illness. Then, as a common man any one can do this mistake. It is important to treat a human as a human irrespective of what disease he or she is suffering from, and this fact stands same for everyone. I always keep reminding myself of the bold surgeon, who cured the affected lady, bought a smile on her face, and took all her blessings. This lessens my fear and gives me the determination to reduce the sufferings of all those who are sick and unwell. It also reminds me of some lines from the Hippocratic Oath I chanted confidently along with my peers on my convocation day – the day when I was considered as a medical fraternity.

Chapter 591: Battle (4)
Ghost Emperor Wild Wife: Dandy Eldest Miss Chapter 592: Battle (5)
"Haha," Looking at Murong Bei who was walking towards him, Tang Ran sneered, "I thought the Big Dipper Gang had chickened out."
Murong Bei responded with a sneer, "I didn't feel very well and Master was treating me. That's why we are late!"
What he said was true! Because the last step of the treatment was extremely difficult, they spent the whole night on the treatment. Just now they had finished all the treatment, and he was able to absorb spiritual qi again from now on.
So they were late.
But the others would not believe his words, and would think he was making an excuse!
"Murong Bei, no matter what, the Big Dipper Gang will be wiped out today, and this is the result of you handing over the Big Dipper Gang to this woman!"
Swish!
After saying this, the people behind Tang Ran all pulled out their weapons and were ready to fight with the Big Dipper Gang.
"Murong Bei," Yun Luofeng, with her hands around her chest, lazily raised the corners of her lips, "Solve them as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, Master!
Solve them as quickly as possible?
Completely irritated by her words, Tang Ran coldly glanced at Yun Luofeng, "Hum, let's see where you'll end up! I'll solve you after killing Murong Bei!" He said these words lightly as if killing Murong Bei was a very easy thing for him.
"Hahaha," Murong Bei guffawed, "Tang Ran, the Heavenly Martial Pavilion doesn't deserve to rank among the top ten powers of the Huangquan City! Now, give the position back to me."
Swoosh!!!
He quickly took out his weapon, a chain, and swung it at Tang Ran. With a thud, the chain heavily slammed to the ground and left a big pit.
Tang Ran drew back a few steps, his face solemn, "Have you made a breakthrough?"
This guy broke through to an intermediate-rank sky-level spirit cultivator?
"Yes, I happened to have a breakthrough before I came here." Murong Bei smiled and waved the chain again. The chain was like a snake in his hands.
Tang Ran's face suddenly changed. After a few years, Murong Bei had made a breakthrough again! No wonder the Big Dipper Gang dared to challenge the Heavenly Martial Pavilion! It was because he had made a breakthrough!
He definitely didn't believe what Murong Bei had just said. If he had made a breakthrough this morning, how would he dare to raise a challenge to them in advance? With his previous strength, he simply wasn't able to beat him!
"Murong Bei! I have been an intermediate-rank sky-level spirit cultivator for two years, and I know this realm well. But you have just broken through to this realm! How can you defeat me?" Tang Ran sneered, "I'll let you know how big a gap exists between us even if we are in the same realm!"
Then he quickly pulled out his weapon and moved his body. In a flash, he had reached the front of Murong Bei.
A battle was on the verge of breaking out!
Seeing that the battle had begun, the people of the two sides all pulled out their weapons and joined the battle one after another! Not long after, killing sounds had spread throughout the square, and people fell to the ground from time to time.
Battles were always cruel! But if you didn't fight, you would never be able to grow strong! That is why Huangquan City had become so chaotic! Battles between different powers were quite normal, and everyone was used to it.
"Xiao Bai," Yun Luofeng took out some spiritual grasses from her sleeve and handed them to Lin Ruobai, "if you see any of our brothers is injured, give him some spiritual grasses and tell him to take them."

Das George Perkins Marsh Boyhood Home, auch Marsh-Billings House, ist der architektonische Mittelpunkt des Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park, an der Vermont Route 12 in Woodstock im US-Bundesstaat Vermont. Das 1805 erbaute und mehrfach vergrößerte Gebäude ist historisch bedeutsam, da hier George Perkins Marsh, ein Pionier des Naturschutzgedankens, seine Kindheit verbrachte. Später im 19. Jahrhundert wurde es von dem Geschäftsmann Frederick H. Billings bewohnt, einem Mitgründer der Northern Pacific Railroad. Architektonisch ist es auch als hochwertiges Beispiel des Queen-Anne-Stils bedeutsam. Die Änderungen und Erweiterungen wurden von Billings in Auftrag gegeben und von Henry Hudson Holley entworfen. Haus und Garten wurden 1967 zum National Historic Landmark erklärt.

Das 220 Hektar große Grundstück wurde 1992 von Mary French Rockefeller (einer Enkelin von Frederick Billings) und Laurance Rockefeller dem Volk der Vereinigten Staaten geschenkt.

Geschichte
Charles Marsh, ein prominenter Anwalt in  Vermont, ließ 1805 den Kern des heutigen Gebäudes als typisches zweistöckigen Haus im "Federal style" mit fünf Erkern für seine Familie erbauen. Sein Sohn George Perkins Marsh wurde 1801 in einem anderen Haus in Woodstock geboren und verlebte seine Kindheit in dem Haus, bis er es mit 16 Jahren zum Besuch des Dartmouth College verließ. George wurde wie sein Vater Anwalt und Politiker. Er wurde 1834 Kongressabgeordneter der Whigs und von den Präsidenten John Tyler und Abraham Lincoln auf diplomatische Posten berufen. Zwischen den 1830er und 1860er Jahren entwickelte er eine Philosophie der Landverwaltung, die den Grundstein für die Umweltbewegung in den USA legte. 1864 veröffentlichte er Man and Nature, or the Physical Geography as Modified by Human Behavior. Dieses 1874 aktualisierte Werk gab einen historischen Abriss des Niederganges früherer Gesellschaften aufgrund Fehlens einer ressourcenschonenden Bewirtschaftung. Es rief zu Aktivitäten zum Schutz der Umwelt auf. Marsh starb 1882 vor der breiteren Umsetzung seiner Ideen.

Das damals 100 ha große Anwesen wurde 1869 von Frederick H. Billings gekauft. Der aus Royalton stammende Anwalt hatte ein Vermögen mit Grundstücksverkäufen während des Goldrausches in Kalifornien gemacht. Er war einer der Gründer der Northern Pacific Railroad und war von 1873 bis 1881 deren Präsident.  Zwischen 1869 und 1881 gab Billings zwei umfassende Vergrößerungen und Umbauten des Hauses in Auftrag. Zuerst wurde ein Flügel und das Mansarddach hinzugefügt. Später wurde das Haus nach Entwürfen von Henry Hudson Holley im Queen-Anne-Stil grundlegend umgestaltet. Billings richtete auf seinem Anwesen eine Modellfarm ein. Die Farm außerhalb des Nationalparks wird als "lebendes Geschichtsmuseum" bewirtschaftet. Billings ließ 23 km Fahrwege im höher gelegenen Teil des Grundstückes anlegen.

Das Haus und 16 ha Land erhielten am 11. Juni 1967 den Status als National Historic Landmark zuerkannt und wurden wegen ihrer Verbindung zu Marsh und Billings als Bauwerk in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen. Spätere Eigentümer waren Mary French Rockefeller (Billings' Enkelin) und ihr Ehemann Laurance Rockefeller. Der einflussreiche Umweltberater mehrerer US-Präsidenten schenkte das Haus und den höher gelegenen Teil des Grundstückes 1992 dem Volk der Vereinigten Staaten. Im August dieses Jahres wurde der Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller National Historical Park gegründet. Das George Perkins Marsh Boyhood Home ist Contributing Property dieses Historic Districts.

Das Haus ist zwischen Mai und Oktober im Rahmen geführter Besichtigungen zugänglich.

Azure Event Hubs is a highly scalable publish-subscribe service that can ingest millions of events per second and stream them to multiple consumers. This lets you process and analyze the massive amounts of data produced by your connected devices and applications. Once Event Hubs has collected the data, you can retrieve, transform, and store it by using any real-time analytics provider or with batching/storage adapters.  If you would like to know more about Azure Event Hubs, you may wish to review: [What is Event Hubs](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-about).

The Azure Event Hubs client library allows for publishing and consuming of Azure Event Hubs events and may be used to:

- Emit telemetry about your application for business intelligence and diagnostic purposes.

- Publish facts about the state of your application which interested parties may observe and use as a trigger for taking action.

- Observe interesting operations and interactions happening within your business or other ecosystem, allowing loosely coupled systems to interact without the need to bind them together.

- Receive events from one or more publishers, transform them to better meet the needs of your ecosystem, then publish the transformed events to a new stream for consumers to observe.

[Source code](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs/src) | [Package (NuGet)](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs/) | [API reference documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/azure.messaging.eventhubs?view=azure-dotnet)) | [Product documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/) | [Migration guide](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs/MigrationGuide.md)

## Getting started

### Prerequisites

- **Azure Subscription:**  To use Azure services, including Azure Event Hubs, you'll need a subscription.  If you do not have an existing Azure account, you may sign up for a [free trial](https://azure.microsoft.com/free) or use your [Visual Studio Subscription](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/subscriptions/) benefits when you [create an account](https://account.windowsazure.com/Home/Index).

- **Event Hubs namespace with an Event Hub:** To interact with Azure Event Hubs, you'll also need to have a namespace and Event Hub available.  If you are not familiar with creating Azure resources, you may wish to follow the step-by-step guide for [creating an Event Hub using the Azure portal](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-create).  There, you can also find detailed instructions for using the Azure CLI, Azure PowerShell, or Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates to create an Event Hub.

- **C# 8.0:** The Azure Event Hubs client library makes use of new features that were introduced in C# 8.0.  In order to take advantage of the C# 8.0 syntax, it is recommended that you compile using the [.NET Core SDK](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download) 3.0 or higher with a [language version](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/configure-language-version#override-a-default) of `latest`.  It is also possible to compile with the .NET Core SDK 2.1.x using a language version of `preview`.

  Visual Studio users wishing to take full advantage of the C# 8.0 syntax will need to use Visual Studio 2019 or later.  Visual Studio 2019, including the free Community edition, can be downloaded [here](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com).  Users of Visual Studio 2017 can take advantage of the C# 8 syntax by making use of the [Microsoft.Net.Compilers NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Net.Compilers/) and setting the language version, though the editing experience may not be ideal.

  You can still use the library with previous C# language versions, but will need to manage asynchronous enumerable and asynchronous disposable members manually rather than benefiting from the new syntax.  You may still target any framework version supported by your .NET Core SDK, including earlier versions of .NET Core or the .NET framework.  For more information, see: [how to specify target frameworks](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/standard/frameworks#how-to-specify-target-frameworks).

  **Important Note:** In order to build or run the [examples](#examples) and the [samples](#next-steps) without modification, use of C# 8.0 is mandatory.  You can still run the samples if you decide to tweak them for other language versions.  An example of doing so is available in the sample: [Earlier Language Versions](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs/samples/Sample07_EarlierLanguageVersions.md).

To quickly create a basic set of Event Hubs resources in Azure and to receive a connection string for them, you can deploy our sample template by clicking:

[![](http://azuredeploy.net/deploybutton.png)](https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Template/uri/https%3A%2F%2Fraw.githubusercontent.com%2FAzure%2Fazure-sdk-for-net%2Fmaster%2Fsdk%2Feventhub%2FAzure.Messaging.EventHubs%2Fassets%2Fsamples-azure-deploy.json)

### Install the package

Install the Azure Event Hubs client library for .NET with [NuGet](https://www.nuget.org/):

```PowerShell
dotnet add package Azure.Messaging.EventHubs
```

### Authenticate the client

For the Event Hubs client library to interact with an Event Hub, it will need to understand how to connect and authorize with it.  The easiest means for doing so is to use a connection string, which is created automatically when creating an Event Hubs namespace.  If you aren't familiar with using connection strings with Event Hubs, you may wish to follow the step-by-step guide to [get an Event Hubs connection string](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-get-connection-string).
## Key concepts

- An **Event Hub client** is the primary interface for developers interacting with the Event Hubs client library.  There are several different Event Hub clients, each dedicated to a specific use of Event Hubs, such as publishing or consuming events.

- An **Event Hub producer** is a type of client that serves as a source of telemetry data, diagnostics information, usage logs, or other log data, as part of an embedded device solution, a mobile device application, a game title running on a console or other device, some client or server based business solution, or a web site.

- An **Event Hub consumer** is a type of client which reads information from the Event Hub and allows processing of it. Processing may involve aggregation, complex computation and filtering. Processing may also involve distribution or storage of the information in a raw or transformed fashion. Event Hub consumers are often robust and high-scale platform infrastructure parts with built-in analytics capabilities, like Azure Stream Analytics, Apache Spark, or Apache Storm.

- A **partition** is an ordered sequence of events that is held in an Event Hub. Partitions are a means of data organization associated with the parallelism required by event consumers.  Azure Event Hubs provides message streaming through a partitioned consumer pattern in which each consumer only reads a specific subset, or partition, of the message stream. As newer events arrive, they are added to the end of this sequence. The number of partitions is specified at the time an Event Hub is created and cannot be changed.

- A **consumer group** is a view of an entire Event Hub. Consumer groups enable multiple consuming applications to each have a separate view of the event stream, and to read the stream independently at their own pace and from their own position.  There can be at most 5 concurrent readers on a partition per consumer group; however it is recommended that there is only one active consumer for a given partition and consumer group pairing. Each active reader receives all of the events from its partition; if there are multiple readers on the same partition, then they will receive duplicate events.

For more concepts and deeper discussion, see: [Event Hubs Features](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-features).

## Examples

### Inspect an Event Hub

Many Event Hub operations take place within the scope of a specific partition.  Because partitions are owned by the Event Hub, their names are assigned at the time of creation.  To understand what partitions are available, you query the Event Hub using one of the Event Hub clients.  For illustration, the `EventHubProducerClient` is demonstrated in these examples, but the concept and form are common across clients.

```C# Snippet:EventHubs_ReadMe_Inspect
var connectionString = "<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE >>";
var eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";

await using (var producer = new EventHubProducerClient(connectionString, eventHubName))
{
    string[] partitionIds = await producer.GetPartitionIdsAsync();
}
```

### Publish events to an Event Hub

In order to publish events, you'll need to create an `EventHubProducerClient`.  Producers publish events in batches and may request a specific partition, or allow the Event Hubs service to decide which partition events should be published to.  It is recommended to use automatic routing when the publishing of events needs to be highly available or when event data should be distributed evenly among the partitions.  Our example will take advantage of automatic routing.

```C# Snippet:EventHubs_ReadMe_Publish
var connectionString = "<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE >>";
var eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";

await using (var producer = new EventHubProducerClient(connectionString, eventHubName))
{
    using EventDataBatch eventBatch = await producer.CreateBatchAsync();
    eventBatch.TryAdd(new EventData(new BinaryData("First")));
    eventBatch.TryAdd(new EventData(new BinaryData("Second")));

    await producer.SendAsync(eventBatch);
}
```

### Read events from an Event Hub

In order to read events from an Event Hub, you'll need to create an `EventHubConsumerClient` for a given consumer group.  When an Event Hub is created, it provides a default consumer group that can be used to get started with exploring Event Hubs.  In our example, we will focus on reading all events that have been published to the Event Hub using an iterator.

**Note:** It is important to note that this approach to consuming is intended to improve the experience of exploring the Event Hubs client library and prototyping.  It is recommended that it not be used in production scenarios.   For production use, we recommend using the [Event Processor Client](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Processor), as it provides a more robust and performant experience.

```C# Snippet:EventHubs_ReadMe_Read
var connectionString = "<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE >>";
var eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";

string consumerGroup = EventHubConsumerClient.DefaultConsumerGroupName;

await using (var consumer = new EventHubConsumerClient(consumerGroup, connectionString, eventHubName))
{
    using var cancellationSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
    cancellationSource.CancelAfter(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45));

    await foreach (PartitionEvent receivedEvent in consumer.ReadEventsAsync(cancellationSource.Token))
    {
        // At this point, the loop will wait for events to be available in the Event Hub.  When an event
        // is available, the loop will iterate with the event that was received.  Because we did not
        // specify a maximum wait time, the loop will wait forever unless cancellation is requested using
        // the cancellation token.
    }
}
```

### Read events from an Event Hub partition

In order to read events for an Event Hub partition, you'll need to create an `EventHubConsumerClient` for a given consumer group.  When an Event Hub is created, it provides a default consumer group that can be used to get started with exploring Event Hubs.  To read from a specific partition, the consumer will also need to specify where in the event stream to begin receiving events; in our example, we will focus on reading all published events for the first partition of the Event Hub.

```C# Snippet:EventHubs_ReadMe_Read
var connectionString = "<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE >>";
var eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";

string consumerGroup = EventHubConsumerClient.DefaultConsumerGroupName;

await using (var consumer = new EventHubConsumerClient(consumerGroup, connectionString, eventHubName))
{
    using var cancellationSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
    cancellationSource.CancelAfter(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45));

    await foreach (PartitionEvent receivedEvent in consumer.ReadEventsAsync(cancellationSource.Token))
    {
        // At this point, the loop will wait for events to be available in the Event Hub.  When an event
        // is available, the loop will iterate with the event that was received.  Because we did not
        // specify a maximum wait time, the loop will wait forever unless cancellation is requested using
        // the cancellation token.
    }
}
```

### Process events using an Event Processor client

For the majority of production scenarios, it is recommended that the [Event Processor Client](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Processor) be used for reading and processing events.  The processor is intended to provide a robust experience for processing events across all partitions of an Event Hub in a performant and fault tolerant manner while providing a means to persist its state.  Event Processor clients are also capable of working cooperatively within the context of a consumer group for a given Event Hub, where they will automatically manage distribution and balancing of work as instances become available or unavailable for the group.

Since the `EventProcessorClient` has a dependency on Azure Storage blobs for persistence of its state, you'll need to provide a `BlobContainerClient` for the processor, which has been configured for the storage account and container that should be used.

```C# Snippet:EventHubs_Processor_ReadMe_ProcessUntilCanceled
var cancellationSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
cancellationSource.CancelAfter(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(45));

var storageConnectionString = "<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE STORAGE ACCOUNT >>";
var blobContainerName = "<< NAME OF THE BLOB CONTAINER >>";

var eventHubsConnectionString = "<< CONNECTION STRING FOR THE EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE >>";
var eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";
var consumerGroup = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB CONSUMER GROUP >>";

Task processEventHandler(ProcessEventArgs eventArgs) => Task.CompletedTask;
Task processErrorHandler(ProcessErrorEventArgs eventArgs) => Task.CompletedTask;

var storageClient = new BlobContainerClient(storageConnectionString, blobContainerName);
var processor = new EventProcessorClient(storageClient, consumerGroup, eventHubsConnectionString, eventHubName);

processor.ProcessEventAsync += processEventHandler;
processor.ProcessErrorAsync += processErrorHandler;

await processor.StartProcessingAsync();

try
{
    // The processor performs its work in the background; block until cancellation
    // to allow processing to take place.
    await Task.Delay(Timeout.Infinite, cancellationSource.Token);
}
catch (TaskCanceledException)
{
    // This is expected when the delay is canceled.
}

try
{
    await processor.StopProcessingAsync();
}
finally
{
    // To prevent leaks, the handlers should be removed when processing is complete.
    processor.ProcessEventAsync -= processEventHandler;
    processor.ProcessErrorAsync -= processErrorHandler;
}
```

More details can be found in the Event Processor Client [README](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Processor/README.md) and the accompanying [samples](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs.Processor/samples).

### Using an Active Directory principal with the Event Hub clients

The [Azure Identity library](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/identity/Azure.Identity/README.md) provides Azure Active Directory authentication support which can be used for the Azure client libraries, including Event Hubs.

To make use of an Active Directory principal, one of the available credentials from the `Azure.Identity` library is specified when creating the Event Hubs client.  In addition, the fully qualified Event Hubs namespace and the name of desired Event Hub are supplied in lieu of the Event Hubs connection string.  For illustration, the `EventHubProducerClient` is demonstrated in these examples, but the concept and form are common across clients.

```C# Snippet:EventHubs_ReadMe_PublishIdentity
TokenCredential credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();

var fullyQualifiedNamespace = "<< FULLY-QUALIFIED EVENT HUBS NAMESPACE (like something.servicebus.windows.net) >>";
var eventHubName = "<< NAME OF THE EVENT HUB >>";

await using (var producer = new EventHubProducerClient(fullyQualifiedNamespace, eventHubName, credential))
{
    using EventDataBatch eventBatch = await producer.CreateBatchAsync();
    eventBatch.TryAdd(new EventData(new BinaryData("First")));
    eventBatch.TryAdd(new EventData(new BinaryData("Second")));

    await producer.SendAsync(eventBatch);
}
```

When using Azure Active Directory, your principal must be assigned a role which allows access to Event Hubs, such as the `Azure Event Hubs Data Owner` role. For more information about using Azure Active Directory authorization with Event Hubs, please refer to [the associated documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/authorize-access-azure-active-directory).

## Troubleshooting

### Exception handling

#### Event Hubs Exception

An `EventHubsException` is triggered when an operation specific to Event Hubs has encountered an issue, including both errors within the service and specific to the client.  The exception includes some contextual information to assist in understanding the context of the error and its relative severity.  These are:

- `IsTransient` : This identifies whether or not the exception is considered recoverable.  In the case where it was deemed transient, the appropriate retry policy has already been applied and retries were unsuccessful.

- `Reason` : Provides a set of well-known reasons for the failure that help to categorize and clarify the root cause.  These are intended to allow for applying exception filtering and other logic where inspecting the text of an exception message wouldn't be ideal.   Some key failure reasons are:

  - **Client Closed** : This occurs when an operation has been requested on an Event Hub client that has already been closed or disposed of.  It is recommended to check the application code and ensure that objects from the Event Hubs client library are created and closed/disposed in the intended scope.

  - **Service Timeout** : This indicates that the Event Hubs service did not respond to an operation within the expected amount of time.  This may have been caused by a transient network issue or service problem.  The Event Hubs service may or may not have successfully completed the request; the status is not known.  It is recommended to attempt to verify the current state and retry if necessary.

  - **Quota Exceeded** : This typically indicates that there are too many active read operations for a single consumer group.  This limit depends on the tier of the Event Hubs namespace, and moving to a higher tier may be desired.  An alternative would be to create additional consumer groups and ensure that the number of consumer client reads for any group is within the limit.  Please see [Azure Event Hubs quotas and limits](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-quotas) for more information.

  - **Message Size Exceeded** : Event data as a maximum size allowed for both an individual event and a batch of events.  This includes the data of the event, as well as any associated metadata and system overhead.  The best approach for resolving this error is to reduce the number of events being sent in a batch or the size of data included in the message.  Because size limits are subject to change, please refer to [Azure Event Hubs quotas and limits](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-quotas) for specifics.

  - **Consumer Disconnected** : A consumer client was disconnected by the Event Hub service from the Event Hub instance.  This typically occurs when a consumer with a higher owner level asserts ownership over a partition and consumer group pairing.

  - **Resource Not Found**: An Event Hubs resource, such as an Event Hub, consumer group, or partition, could not be found by the Event Hubs service.  This may indicate that it has been deleted from the service or that there is an issue with the Event Hubs service itself.

Reacting to a specific failure reason for the `EventHubsException` can be accomplished in several ways, such as by applying an exception filter clause as part of the `catch` block:

```C# Snippet:EventHubs_ReadMe_ExceptionFilter
try
{
    // Read events using the consumer client
}
catch (EventHubsException ex) when
    (ex.Reason == EventHubsException.FailureReason.ConsumerDisconnected)
{
    // Take action based on a consumer being disconnected
}
```

#### Other exceptions

For detailed information about the failures represented by the `EventHubsException` and other exceptions that may occur, please refer to [Event Hubs messaging exceptions](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/event-hubs/event-hubs-messaging-exceptions).

### Logging and diagnostics

The Event Hubs client library is fully instrumented for logging information at various levels of detail using the .NET `EventSource` to emit information.  Logging is performed for each operation and follows the pattern of marking the starting point of the operation, it's completion, and any exceptions encountered.  Additional information that may offer insight is also logged in the context of the associated operation.

The Event Hubs client logs are available to any `EventListener` by opting into the source named "Azure-Messaging-EventHubs" or opting into all sources that have the trait "AzureEventSource".  To make capturing logs from the Azure client libraries easier, the `Azure.Core` library used by Event Hubs offers an `AzureEventSourceListener`.  More information can be found in the [Azure.Core Diagnostics sample](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/core/Azure.Core/samples/Diagnostics.md#logging).

The Event Hubs client library is also instrumented for distributed tracing using Application Insights or OpenTelemetry.  More information can be found in the [Azure.Core Diagnostics sample](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/core/Azure.Core/samples/Diagnostics.md#distributed-tracing).

## Next steps

Beyond the introductory scenarios discussed, the Azure Event Hubs client library offers support for additional scenarios to help take advantage of the full feature set of the Azure Event Hubs service.  In order to help explore some of these scenarios, the Event Hubs client library offers a project of samples to serve as an illustration for common scenarios.  Please see the samples [README](https://github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-net/blob/master/sdk/eventhub/Azure.Messaging.EventHubs/samples/README.md) for details.

"Iron Chef." "Unwrapped." "Hell's Kitchen." It is rare that a person can be featured on so many shows and media. But one man had the talent, drive, and the hunger to make his creativity known in "Insatiable: The Homaro Cantu Story." Directed by Brett Schwartz, the biography-documentary focuses on Homaro "Omar" Cantu Jr., a world-famous Chicago chef and inventor who helped put the city on the culinary map through his restaurant "Moto" and his approach to creating food through "molecular gastronomy." However, Cantu's life was not always a successful one, as the movie documents several hardships, such as being homeless twice and growing up in abusive households. But despite these odds, Cantu sought to look beyond his means and found a fascination for cooking at a young age. The film shows how he soared through the ranks of the culinary world, eventually working with other renowned chefs like Charlie Trotter and opening his own restaurant at 28. Furthermore, Cantu was a man that cared about his community and the world, and used his talents to provide food to those that were less fortunate. Overall, the documentary is done very well and gives a good overview of Cantu's various successes, failures, struggles, joys, and his climb to not just become one of the best chefs in the world, but to reinvent food for the masses. With great interviews from people who worked with him, excellent shots showing the man at work in his professional and personal lives, and presenting a fine example of the human struggle to obtain a successful career, "Insatiable: The Homaro Cantu Story" is a film that inspires and directs the viewer to go beyond themselves and push forward in life, even in the face of uncertainty.

Men B study finds no herd immunity benefits from vaccine
The results of the B Part of It study – the largest meningococcal B herd immunity study ever conducted – are published today in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The results have implications for all meningococcal B vaccine programs globally.
Led by Professor Helen Marshall from the University of Adelaide's Robinson Research Institute, the B Part of It study involved almost 35,000 senior school students in South Australia, aged 15 to 18 years, during 2017 and 2018.
Our study has shown good protection was provided by the meningococcal B vaccine against meningococcal disease in those vaccinated but did not show an overall reduction in the proportion of adolescents carrying the bacteria, including the B strain."
Professor Helen Marshall, University of Adelaide's Robinson Research Institute
Adolescents can harmlessly carry the meningococcus bacteria in the back of the throat with only a very small proportion developing the disease. Meningococcal B is one of the most common strains that causes meningococcal disease, an acute bacterial infection that kills approximately 10% of those infected, and causes permanent disabilities in about 20% of cases. Those most at risk are babies and children up to the age of five years, and teenagers and young adults from ages 15 to 24 years.
"We are pleased to report not a single case of meningococcal disease among our study participants to date, over the three years since the study began, compared to 12 cases in the same age group in the two years prior to the study.
"Potentially this means a life or lives were saved, as, on average, one in every 10 children with meningococcal disease dies from it," Professor Marshall says.
Study looks at flu vaccine requirement for children, caregivers in U.S. child care centers
Streamlining Immuno-Oncological Therapeutic Antibody Discovery
UMSOM experts call for influenza vaccinations to prevent outbreaks in U.S. border detention centers
"These results highlight the importance of individual vaccination for adequate protection, as the vaccine is unlikely to be able to stop spread of the bacteria between individuals," Professor Marshall says. "The study has identified the critical finding that individuals need to be vaccinated to protect themselves against meningococcal B disease, rather than expecting community protection through reduced transmission of the bacteria," she says.
The study also identified a number of high-risk behaviours associated with carriage of meningococcal strains in young people, including: smoking cigarettes, attending bars or clubs, and intimate kissing. Older school students, school boarders, and those who had recently had a cold or sore throat were also more likely to carry the meningococcus in their throat.
The outcomes of the B Part of It study are now being used in Australia and globally, to assess the cost-effectiveness of meningococcal B immunization programs for children and young people.
Gill and Oren Klemich, who lost their 18-year-old son, Jack, to meningococcal B in 2009, have supported the B Part of It program as ambassadors and followed the results closely.
"We are extremely proud of the impact this study has had in informing both local and global policy around meningococcal B, as well as the impact the study and South Australian Government funded program have had in vaccinating and protecting over 60,000 young people against this horrible disease," says Oren.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner just got married in a surprise ceremony in Las Vegas
By christina capatides
May 2, 2019 / 7:13 AM / CBS News
After being forced to marry Joffrey Baratheon, Ramsay Bolton and Tyrion Lannister, Sansa Stark could definitely use a break in the husband category – and it appears she just got one in the form of a Jonas brother. "Game of Thrones" star Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas shocked fans by apparently getting married Wednesday night in Las Vegas, just hours after the Billboard Music Awards, inside a Little White Wedding Chapel at Chapel L'Amour.
American DJ, Diplo, sent shockwaves through Jonas Brothers fandom last night by chronicling the surprise nuptials of Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas. Diplo via Instagram Stories
The surprise nuptials were chronicled on Diplo's Instagram live feed, as the award-winning DJ appeared to provide his services for the after party. In fact, Diplo's set was the only mention of the star-studded wedding to make it onto the groom's social media. So, JoBros fans hungry for details had to head to Diplo's account instead.
There, Turner can be seen walking down the aisle in a white satin pantsuit as country music duio Dan + Shay perform a live rendition of their chart-topping hit, "Speechless." In signature Vegas fashion, there is an Elvis impersonator at the front of the chapel. Joe Jonas can be seen looking back at his bride, next to both of his bandmate brothers in matching gray suits.
Nearly everyone in attendance has their phones out, recording videos of the event, though other footage of the ceremony has been slow to leak out. And other music stars, like Khalid, can be seen in the periphery of Diplo's Instagram Stories.

"I promise you, I will never leave you. I will love and trust you, all the days of my life," the couple told each other, exchanging vows before their gathered friends and loved ones. "In sickness and in health… forever and ever."
They then exchanged ring pops in lieu of wedding bands – because who isn't a "sucker" for a detail like that?
And with that, just hours after the Jonas Brothers announced a North American tour and performed at their first award show together in a decade, the last unmarried Jonas Brother was officially taken off the market... and in a low-key manner that fans were quick to note was the "Stark" opposite of Nick and Priyanka's lavish wedding celebration last year.
