In today's impressive and inspiring news, identical twin sisters Tia and Tyra Smith, 18, graduated as co-valedictorians of their Chicago high school with 4.0 GPAs! "I was glad it was both of us," Tyra said in an interview with Good Morning America. "We really worked together in order to be where we were. It was the last thing we could do together in school before we have to leave each other."
During their time at Lindblom Math and Science Academy in West Englewood, IL, Tia and Tyra took on full course loads of five AP classes each in a single school year, and they still found time to take part in two theater programs. The sisters also founded Lindblom's first black history art gallery and have dedicated themselves to raising community awareness of kidney disease.
On top of their shared GPAs, Tia and Tyra both have a love for crocheting and theater, which they plan to carry with them to their respective universities in the Fall. "I think we're successful because of ourselves and because we've worked together throughout all these years," Tia said in an interview with The Chicago Sun-Times. She revealed that the only day they've ever spent apart was in the Spring when she went to visit Duke University, where she will study theater and statistics. Tyra will be staying closer to home and attend Northwestern University, where she plans to study theater and economics.
While the sisters will be going their separate ways, they were able to deliver a combined graduation speech to their class of 295 students as one final project together before college. "Their achievement did not come as a surprise because we've been working with them at a very early age," said the twins' mom, Lemi-Ola Erinkitola, an educator with her own tutoring practice called The Critical Thinking Child. "I was glad because they're going to separate colleges and it put a nice, finishing touch on their years together academically. It was very, very emotional and goes beyond just the title. It was the fact they can share that platform together and a memory they can carry throughout their journeys in life."

One of the top webpages in the world are search engines. I believe it is so, because high quality search engines save people a lot of time and help them find what they need very quickly. When it comes to your website, it is important that you allow your visitors to use the search option and allow them to browse through your site this way. This is especially important if your site has a lot of posts, since finding them manually would take too much time. Your older posts will eventually not get any hits at all. This is a serious problem, especially for websites that are in a niche where older articles do not necessarily get outdated. For example, a website about pets will have many articles that could be useful for readers for many years, but with no search box, it will be hard to find those articles. By integrating search into your site, you give people more freedom to explore your blog, but you also make your site look more professional. I would say that allowing users to search your blog is a must these days, because you will not be able to compete with other webpages if you will not have this feature.

Boxing: Jennifer Han dominates Fatuma Zarika in featherweight championship at El Paso County Coliseum
Bill Knight
PHOTOS: Jennifer Han defeats Zarika
Jennifer Han dominated Fatuma Zarika with her speed and her stinging left jab Saturday night, taking a unanimous decision and winning the vacant IBF InterContinental featherweight championship at the El Paso County Coliseum.
More importantly, Han set herself up for a world title shot against Helen Joseph in late June — almost certainly right back in the County Coliseum.
Han won the eight-round decision with scores of 98-92 on two judges' cards and 97-93 on the third card.
Han, now 12-3-1, controlled the first half of the fight with that classic jab and good right hands. Han's quickness and defense kept the Zarika from ever getting to her.
Zarika, who is from Nairobi, Kenya, is now 24-10-2 in her career. She got into the fight briefly in the fifth round, catching Han with a couple of right hands — but nothing of consequence. Han re-established that strong jab to take control of the final rounds.
The key in this fight, as it has been throughout her career, was Han's skilled defense, her quickness and her boxing ability.
"It was a tough fight because I only had a short time to prepare for her," Han said. "She was tough to hit but I was able to establish my jab and put some combinations together. The key was my jab and my defense ... probably one of my best defensive performances ever."
A crowd of more than 2,000 came out to the El Paso County Coliseum ... almost all in support of Han. Little children, men and women of all ages were wearing Han T-shirts, her picture on the front, with "El Paso's Sweetheart" on the back. And they all went home happy.
But there were other fights, too, on this April evening.
John Vera of Fort Worth continued an impressive beginning to a career with a fifth round technical knockout over veteran Arturo Mijarez of Gomez Palacios in Durango, Mexico, in a super middleweight affair that was the co-main event. Vera, now 9-0, scored his third victory in El Paso with a patient assault. The undefeated southpaw scored steadily with a strong right jab and a straight left hand and relentless body work.
Vera ended his assault with a big left hand that dropped and stopped Mijarez 35 seconds into the fifth round.
"I was patient in the ring," Vera said. "I made the adjustments as the fight went on. He was a tough fighter."
Mijares is now 16-6.
Errol Sidney Jr., also from Fort Worth, improved to 5-1 with a unanimous decision over Warren Stewart of Austin in a super welterweight affair. Sidney dominated this duel from start to finish, winning all four rounds and scoring a 40-36 verdict on all three scorecards.
Sidney, who landed a barrage of strong left hands from beginning to end against the strong-chinned Stewart, said, "I had fun in there. I'm not going to lie. I like a challenge and he was a tough guy."
Frances Beniquez of El Paso leveled his record at 1-1 with a big left-hand to the body that caused the corner of Derek Perez to toss in the towel 41 seconds into the second round. Perez, from Belen, N.M., is now 0-3.
Josue Garcia of El Paso improved to 5-3 with a second round TKO over Victor Silva of Socorro, N.M. in their welterweight dance. Garcia landed a big right hand, staggering Silva and the referee jumped in to stop the contest. Silva is now 1-4.
Ernesto Hernanddez scored the biggest knockout of the night, landing a big right hand that sent Adan Rosa to the canvas ... head banging hard against that canvas and leaving Hernandez unable to continue. It was the pro debut for both fighters.

Joshua Jipp is Assistant Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (or TEDS), and, in his book Christ is King, writes that "one of the ways early worshippers of Christ made sense of the significance of Jesus and their experience of him was through using royal tropes* and motifs to depict Christ as king" (3).
Jipp's basic argument is that "Paul used, reworked, and applied ancient conceptions of the good king—both Greco-Roman and Jewish—to Christ in order to structure reality or the symbolic universe of his congregations" (9).
This does not mean that Christ was simply another king among many. "Paul clearly portrays Christ as absolutely set apart from and superior to any other ruler" (10). Thus we can't (and won't) fully understand Paul's language unless we understand that Paul is "frequently . . . setting forth a vision of Christ as the king" (11).
In his introduction, Jipp lays out his basic argument, surveys kingship discourse in Greek, Hellenistic, Roman writings, and in the remains of temples, statues, coins, etc. Next he surveys Israel's conception of their king by looking through the Old Testament (especially the Psalter) and Second Temple texts.
In the next four chapters Jipp shows that Paul and the Christian community thought of Jesus Christ as the good king. He was the Son of David and the enthroned Son of God.
Chapter 2 looks at Christ the king as living law, and Jipp tries to make sense of the phrase "the law of Christ" (Gal 6.2; 1 Cor 9.22). If Christians no longer have to follow the Law, how are we to live under the one who fulfilled and embodies the Law? Christ is a living law and we are to imitate his example by loving the weak.
Chapter 3 looks at the Christ hymns found in Colossians 1.15-20 and Philippians 2.6-11. Hymns were written about Greco-Roman kings for the benefactions they gave to their people. Christ, the Son of God, was elected by God, shares his throne, rules on his behalf, and brings peace and harmony. Christ is worthy of divine worship.
In chapters 2 and 3 Jipp presents both Greco-Roman writings and Jewish writings as evidence that Paul viewed Christ as king. I would likely never have seen these Greco-Roman writings had it not been for Jipp. For example, Jipp paraphrases a Greek maxim, "[I]f gods are those who exercise power, then a king is god-like" (85). Kings were seen to have created/re-created a new peaceful world order. Augustus was the "beginning of the breath of life" and he "brought war to an end and set everything in peaceful order" (91).
"He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent" (Col 1.18b).
"And through Christ to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross" (Col 1.20).
Paul is not clicking the cut-and-paste button and plagiarizing from Greco-Roman writers. Only Jesus made peace by his own blood, that blood which has been shed on the cross, and it is through this shed blood that Christ triumphs over his enemies (Col 1.20; 2.14-15).
In chapters 4 and 5 Jipp sets his sights on Israel's conception of kingship and looks primarily at the psalter. In chapter 4, since we are in Christ's kingdom, we share his Holy Spirit, he is the first fruits of the resurrection (a resurrection that believers will surely experience), believers share "in numerous aspects of Christ's rule" (143). Christ participated in our lowly, destitute estate so that we could participate with him in his glorious kingdom.
In chapter 5 Jipp contributes to a notoriously difficult discussion: the righteousness of God, and he does this while looking at how God's righteousness is seen in the righteous King in Romans. Wicked humanity has killed the only truly righteous King. But God's righteousness is seen because God doesn't let this King rot in the ground, but instead resurrects him and seats him on his heavenly throne. God will then judge the wicked through Jesus Christ the King, all while saving his people, those who participate in Christ's kingdom, those who give him divine worship and who follow in his image in loving and sacrificing for others.
I have nothing negative to say about this book. I only wish it were longer! Jipp is scholarly, well-researched, and interacts with both modern works and primary sources, yet his writing is clear and understandable. He has clarified many difficult concepts for me and has helped me better understand my King and the position I and other believers have under our King.
Jipp succeeds in his mission to show how Paul reworked the "good-king" system that the rest of the culture used to represent their own faulty kings. Christ is the true, perfect, loving King who brings peace and who allows us to participate with him in his righteous kingdom. He will not leave us to rot in our graves, but will come back to resurrect us into an eternal life with him.

David August's 'Epikur'… what can we say? This is one instance where words really do fail to describe music. This is a track that could shape the summer of 2014. We heard it first in Dixon's Essential Mix back in September last year and along with a slew of other tracks, we've been waiting patiently for them to hit the digital shelves. Absolutely breathtaking work here by David August.


Over the weekend the American Humane Association™ and the Hallmark Channel honored these wonderful dogs. In case you missed it, here a few very inspiring stories.
This beautiful lab is named Sadie, a true hero. She has worked in high-profile arson and homicide cases resulting in many arrests. Battled hundreds of fires, survived collapsing buildings, and searched snow covered mountains working in the Major Crimes Unit of the Colorado Bureau of Investigation.
She is just one of many dogs honored at the American Humane Association™ Hero Dog Awards.


Very smooth. The how-to was right on the money. I chose to fully remove the logic board and blow out the internals with a can of air while I had it open. Was also able to finally rescue an SD card that had been lost to the Superdrive for a couple of years.
Take your time. I used a small tackle box with dividers to keep the screws sorted. I also used some small plastic blocks, about 5" tall, to put between the display and the case while unplugging and plugging in all the connections. I also covered both sides of the glass and display with a clean towel while they were off.


I'm posting this as a warning (haha!) or, should I say, notification that I'm looking to start up a short series of themed posts on this blog. I haven't really done anything like this before, so I'm testing the waters with this a bit.
I was looking through my make up drawer the other day, and what struck me is the range of products I have in there and also use regularly. Literally, the other day I blended a £1 MUA shadow with a £12.50 shade from MAC. This got me thinking and this thinking resulted in an idea: To do a range of make up looks working on the three 'budgets' that are represented in my collection: Super Budget, High Street and High End. I don't have any 'real' luxury or designer products, but there you go. For each budget I'm thinking of doing three looks, being a 'normal' Day look, Evening and then something a bit more 'fun', haha.
Anyway, I will start this series at the weekend, as my eyebrows are in desperate need of a threading and I don't really want to focus on my face until they're tamed, haha!
As a bonus, I want to show you THEES MUG Souvenir from when I went to see Bill Bailey last year. Best mug ever!

W Permadi, Sudirmanto, K Mantilidewi. Association between Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), and Caspase-3 of Follicular Fluid with The Number of Mature Oocytes of Patients underwent In Vitro Fertilization Program. The Internet Journal of Gynecology and Obstetrics. 2019 Volume 23 Number 1.
Background: Determine the levels of FSH, VEGF, and Caspase-3 in follicular fluid and the correlation with the number of mature oocytes of IVF program patients.
Methods: Measurement of FSH, VEGF, and Caspase-3 in follicular fluid of patients who underwent IVF was done.
Results: We found higher FSH level [(6.44 vs 2.16 ng/mL (p<0.015) and lower VEGF level [(2229.28 ± 841.8 vs 3566.77 ± 432.50 pg/ml (p<0.001)] of follicular fluid in the group of mature oocytes ³5. No significant difference of Caspase-3 level [0.09 vs 0.08 ng/ml (p=0.430)] was found in mature oocytes <5 and ³5 group, respectively. We found significant positive correlation of FSH levels (r 0.657, p<0.001), significant negative correlation of VEGF levels (r -0.656, p<0.001), and no correlation of caspase-3 (r -0.116, p 0.496) with the number of mature oocytes.
Conclusions: Follicular fluid FSH levels were positively correlated, VEGF levels were negatively correlated, and Caspase-3 levels were not correlated with the number of mature oocytes.
The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the levels of FSH, VEGF, and Caspase-3 in follicular fluid with the number of mature oocytes, fertilization rate and percentage of embryo of patients underwent IVF program.
This was an analytical cross-sectional study among 37 patients undergoing an IVF program with a long GnRH agonist protocol at the IVF clinics of the Harapan Kita Women and Children Hospital from June 2013 to March 2014.
We included patients: women age £42 years old, with complete basic infertility evaluation, with clear indication for IVF, measured basal FSH level <15 IU/L, and the number of antral follicle being ³8. Participants not willing to participate and only join partial IVF program were excluded from the study.
FSH level was assessed with enzyme-amplified chemiluminescence (Immulite). Measurement of VEGF level was carried out with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reagent kit (R&D System, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA) with detection threshold 9.0 pg/mL. While Caspase-3 level measurement was conducted with ELISA (Cell Signalling Tech. Human cleaved Caspase-3 at Asp 175 ELISA kit, Beverly, MA, USA).
Shapiro Wilk test for normally distributed numeric data, unpaired t-test and Mann-Whitney for bivariate analysis, and Pearson correlation were used for the statistical analysis. Multivariate analysis was used to control confounding factors. All of the data analysis was conducted with SPSS ver. 13.0 for windows. P£ 0.05 was considered as significant, with the power of 95%.
Table 1 summarizes the characteristic of 37 patients. The groups were defined according to the number of mature oocytes. Significant differences of the mean age between patients with mature oocytes ³5 and patients with mature oocytes <5 was found with p<0.001, as well as the basal FSH level differences with p=0.019.
The FSH and VEGF levels of follicular fluid had significant differences with the number of mature oocytes (Table 2). Higher FSH levels were found in follicular fluid among patients with mature oocytes ³5. In contrast, lower VEGF levels were found in this group. The Caspase-3 level of the follicular fluid did not differ significantly between these groups.
Follicular fluid levels of FSH had a significant positive correlation with the number of mature oocytes (p<0.001) (Table 3). A negative significant correlation between the VEGF levels in follicular fluid and number of mature oocytes was seen (p<0.001). Meanwhile, the Caspase-3 level in follicular fluid did not correlate significantly with the number of mature oocytes (p 0.496).
In this study, the mean age of patients undergoing an IVF program in the IVF clinics at the Harapan Kita Women and Children Hospital with the mature oocytes ≥5 was younger than the other group. This finding was consistent with the physiological decline of reproductive function as the women are getting older. Reduced oocyte storage constantly occurs in women during reproductive age, but the process occurs more progressive by the age of 35 until 40 years old, in particular, during the time of being 37-38 years old. The remaining oocytes were approximately 25000 and less than 1000 follicles at menopause.11 The patients' age is an important determinant factor of stimulation response or mature oocytes obtained in IVF program.
Basal FSH level is commonly used as an indicator of oocytes storage and to predict ovarian response. The oocytes storage is reduced when the basal FSH level is elevated. As the oocytes storage is reduced, a low ovarian response to stimulation will occur, as shown in this study. In contrast, Koo et al. found no differences between basal FSH level with low or normal stimulation response.12 The different finding possibly was due to the genetic factor or different research methods.
A significant positive correlation between the FSH level of follicular fluid and the number of mature oocytes was revealed in this study. The higher the FSH level, the more number of mature oocytes can be obtained in an IVF program.
In our study, we found that follicular fluid FSH levels were positively correlated and VEGF levels were negatively correlated with the number of mature oocytes. We were also unable to find a correlation of follicular fluid caspase-3 with the number of mature oocytes in our IVF program. All of those substance levels were also not associated with the number of mature oocytes obtained in the IVF program. The results indicated that there is a difference in response of stimulation that likely is affected by an individual genetic factor. Therefore, further research is needed to study the adjustment of a controlled ovarian stimulation protocol based on individual genetic and physiological characteristic. We also suggest that follicular fluid VEGF level are used as an additional indicator to predict the number of mature oocytes obtained from oocyte retrieval in order to improve the successfulness of an IVF program.

Hugging Is the Coolest Thing You Can Do Right Now
By Emilia Petrarca@emiliapetrarca

In the months leading up to Virgil Abloh's debut menswear show for Louis Vuitton at the Palais Royal on Thursday, an almost unbearable cloud of anticipation, excitement, and skepticism swirled around the 30-something fashion designer — fueled in part by the teasing images he posted for his 2.4 million Instagram followers. On Thursday morning, the tension was finally released, and the whole fashion industry breathed a sigh of relief. And maybe cried a little bit.
Abloh has no formal fashion training (he studied architecture and engineering). His rise to fame was assisted heavily by his social-media acumen and association with Kanye West. And he loves streetwear in a way that makes some fashion people nervous. Would he prove his haters wrong? Or right? Would he make history in a good way, or a bad way? Would one of France's most valuable luxury brands be turned into a T-shirt factory? The answer, it turns out, was so much bigger than that. Sure, Virgil Abloh showed some good clothes. (And some good T-shirts.) But the real victory was that Virgil Abloh made us feel some earnest, cornball emotion.
Before the show began, Abloh had already won. On this sunny day in June, he became the first black show-runner in Louis Vuitton's 164-year history. On Thursday afternoon, he shared a photo on Instagram of the logo for Pyrex Vision — the small streetwear brand he founded in 2012. In less than a decade, Abloh has gone from screen-printing $40 Ralph Lauren flannel shirts and flipping them for profit to competing with Ralph Lauren on a global fashion stage.
With LVMH now backing him, the possibilities for Abloh's first Vuitton show were vast, and no doubt daunting. But instead of pulling out all the stops, Abloh took a simple, familiar road, using color as a general metaphor. (His own label is called Off-White.) The Vuitton runway itself was a rainbow gradient, and various colors of T-shirts were placed on each seat. Seventeen models, all people of color, opened the show wearing all-white looks, followed by more in neon, tie-dye, and elaborate prints — some of which were pulled straight out of The Wizard of Oz.
Toto, we're not in Chicago anymore.
"Like some kids today, I started the surreal mission without 'fashion school' but a blank T-shirt, a screen-printed idea for it, and a dream," wrote Abloh in an Instagram caption on Thursday. In another post today, he added: "You can do it too."

In the audience were those who'd followed Abloh on this metaphorical Yellow Brick Road, including Kanye West, who interned with Abloh at Fendi back in 2009. An image of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion printed on a Vuitton sweater brought to mind this much-discussed image of West and Abloh standing with a group at Fashion Week around the same time.
Both West and Abloh have come a long way since 2009, of course. Their own collaborative relationship has had its ups and downs. (West had some strong feels when Abloh's Vuitton appointment was first announced.) But their tearful embrace as Abloh took his bow on Thursday arguably marked a new beginning. Hitting the reset button in an effort to move forward seems to be fashion's hottest trend right now — one that's hard to fault.
Rather than poring over the clothes in the collection, I've watched every single angle of West and Abloh's embrace on Instagram. In Travis Scott's video, you can see West's body convulsing. In Takashi Murakami's, the visible goosebumps on Abloh's arm provoked similar ones on my own. If you watch to the end, you can see West wiping away his tears. Within the context of an otherwise dismal feed, this was without a doubt the best thing I saw today.
The fashion industry can be a cynical place, but the image of these two polarizing figures hugging and crying on a rainbow runway is enough to cut through all the posturing. People might say they want tie-dye and tactical vests, but what they really need right now is something warm and fuzzy.

The best way to get your yard cleaned up and ready for spring is to get the whole family involved. We have a plan to get it done!
Gather your crew where you keep your outdoor tools. Take a quick inventory of what exactly is going to be needed to get your yard in order. Give each person a job and a tool to use for it. Try to give everyone duties that they will enjoy, but if necessary, delegate tasks that need to get done. Pairing family members up might be a good idea for the bigger jobs as well. Once everyone has their assignment, make sure that they have all of the tools they'll need to get it done. If not, a trip to the local hardware or department store may be in order!
While every yard is different and some are bigger than others, in general, most of us have the same list of chores that need to get done each spring in our outdoor spaces. Maybe you put off raking all of the leaves from last fall? That is likely a job for more than one person. While an adult rakes, a child can pick up the piles of leaves and put them in garbage bags to be brought to the dump or in a wheel barrel to be disposed of on the edge of the yard.
If you plan on doing any gardening it might be a nice time to weed any plants from last year. Then prep the soil for the new ones that will be coming in. This provides a great teaching moment for any future gardeners! Finally, most lawns aren't quite ready to be cut quite yet, it probably wouldn't hurt to sprinkle some fertilizer on any patchy spots that winter was extra hard on. This is a task probably best left to an adult.
After most of the grunt work is done, focus on brightening your yard with decorative pieces that give it that extra touch to make it more enjoyable. Fill your birdfeeder for the feathered friends that will be returning soon, if they haven't already. It can be fun to watch the birds come in to eat after the seed is put out! Next, break out those wind chimes and decorative yard ornaments that got packed away last fall. Let the kids haul out any toys they like to play with in the warmer weather (playhouse, sandbox toys, etc.) This is also a good time to bring out any yard furniture so that you can enjoy relaxing in your freshly revamped yard.
Maybe this is the year you'll finally hang that hammock? Or perhaps you want to build that outdoor fire pit you've been talking about the past few years? Spring is the perfect time for all of these projects! Whether you outsource the job to somebody else or DIY, prepping your yard for all of the fun that will be had during the summer months is time or money well spent. It can also be a learning opportunity for the kids. They can give their insights on any new things they'd like to see added to the yard. Listen to them, they likely have many fun ideas!
No matter how much time you spend on your yard cleanup this spring, it will all be worth it as the temperatures get warmer and winter becomes but a distant memory. There is a sense of satisfaction that each member of the family will feel after the hard work is done. You can all enjoy your time in the yard together, whether you are having water balloon fights or taking long lazy naps together in your hammock. This is the place where so many memories are made, especially during spring and summer.

In this study, nonlinear static pushover analysis was performed to compare the effectiveness of different carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRP) rehabilitation schemes for existing masonry-infilled RC frames. A three-bay five-storey reinforced concrete (RC) frame with masonry infill walls designed according to previous building codes was modelled as a representative of existing low-rise RC frames. The earthquake retrofitting effects of twelve CFRP strengthening schemes were compared in terms of the global pushover curve, maximum load capacity, maximum interstorey drift ratio (IDR), plastification in the frames, and maximum energy dissipation capacity. The results indicate that the improper selection of a retrofitting scheme is likely to result in the change of the soft storey location, which would cause unexpected damage to structures. The CFRP rehabilitation of both columns and infills for the bottom three floors or more leads to a significant increase in maximum load, maximum IDR, maximum energy, and maximum number of plastic hinges in the frames.

What if the Suns get the No. 1 pick? Assessing Phoenix's fate at the draft lottery
By Gina Mizell May 14, 2019 1
Deandre Ayton is bringing a new buddy to Tuesday's NBA draft lottery. Last week Ayton surprised 8-year-old Gabriel Olvera, a Phoenix Children's Hospital patient who has undergone three heart surgeries, with an invitation to join him in Chicago for a trip of a lifetime.
As Ayton delivered the news on the Suns' practice court, a bystander asked Olvera who Phoenix should select if it wins the No. 1 pick for the second consecutive year. Olvera immediately answered Zion Williamson, the Duke phenom widely viewed as the best draft prospect in a generation.
Ayton, whom the Suns chose first last summer, would also be quite happy with that development.
"(Olvera is) the good-luck charm," Ayton said. "So he might bring Zion in here and have him break every rim in this gym."
Back-to-back draft lottery wins will always be regarded as a coup. It has only happened twice since the lottery began in 1985, when Cleveland won in 2013 (Anthony Bennett) and 2014 (Andrew Wiggins) and Orlando in 1992 (Shaquille O'Neal) and 1993 (Chris Webber). There is an overwhelmingly greater chance of not winning the lottery than snagging the top pick, particularly with this year's new flattened odds that give the same chance (14 percent) to each of the NBA's bottom three teams.
But for at least a few more hours, the Suns can dare to dream about Zion. Landing Williamson would make enduring the second-worst season in franchise history — the latest during a nine-season playoff drought — worth it. And it could help flip a once-proud franchise that, over the past decade, has become the subject of sharp national criticism due to mounting losses and leadership instability under Robert Sarver's ownership.
"That (pick) could just be the catalyst that propels us into that next special place," said Jim Pitman, the Suns' vice president and CFO who will again represent Phoenix in the actual draft lottery room.
The Athletic has already chronicled how the lottery results will unlock the potential road map for the Suns' entire offseason. This roundtable discusses how much Phoenix needs — and deserves — Williamson compared to New York and Cleveland, the other two teams with the best odds to nab the top pick. Though some outside speculation suggests Phoenix could consider either taking Ja Morant at No. 1 or trading back to select the former Murray State star and acquire an additional asset, that would be a stunner given the can't-miss hype around Williamson.
On the floor, Williamson boasts an electrifying blend of athleticism and strength, as illustrated by his thunderous dunks and blocks at the rim. He would immediately fill the void at power forward, where Phoenix struggled to rebound and defend inside in 2018-19. Those who know Williamson best also praise the way he thinks the game, and his maturity to handle his skyrocketing status.
Because of that high-flying style and charisma, Williamson would be a marketing goldmine for a franchise both in immediate need of positive buzz and with long-term plans to build around Ayton, max-contract star Devin Booker and new coach Monty Williams. Zion would sell jerseys and tickets. He would draw the eyeballs of both casual fans watching on a larger dose of nationally televised games, along with hoop nerds scouring League Pass and #NBATwitter.
In short, he would make the Suns one of the NBA's most interesting teams.
Williamson's presence will also dictate how Phoenix builds out the rest of its roster. Williamson sliding into the starting frontcourt spot next to Ayton could create an extra dash of urgency to trim its logjam at wing.
Mikal Bridges, also a 2018 lottery pick, has already emerged as an impressive defender and 3-point threat. There is mutual desire for Phoenix to keep Kelly Oubre Jr., a restricted free agent who will command a significant salary bump. That leaves T.J. Warren, who transformed himself into a deadly outside shooter before missing this season's final 33 games with an ankle bruise. Or former top-5 draft pick Josh Jackson, whose weekend arrest at a Miami music festival was the latest off-the-court misstep on the heels of a sometimes-flashy, still-too-often inconsistent second season.
Those wing assets could be used to, finally, acquire a proven point guard.
Potential free agency targets include Kemba Walker, D'Angelo Russell (restricted), Patrick Beverley, Ricky Rubio and Terry Rozier (restricted). The trade market could include Mike Conley, who was almost dealt by Memphis at the February deadline, and Jrue Holiday, should New Orleans fully rebuild after trading star Anthony Davis.
Ayton will be the Suns' onstage representative during Tuesday's televised lottery results. He is curious to experience this night as an NBA player, rather than an elite prospect. He did not float any suggestions about who the Suns should select, stressing "that's (on) the front office … my head hurts just thinking about the lottery."
If luck strikes the Suns for the second year in a row, though, it's likely 8-year-old Gabriel's wish will be granted.
Zion would come to Phoenix.
And that could, finally, flip the Suns' fortunes.
"It's a different beast over here," Ayton said. "We're trying to start something totally different up in this city."

Movie industry pushes back new releases
Jayden Clarke, Staff Reporter
As a result of COVID-19, the entertainment industry has made some adjustments. Movie theaters have closed down all over the nation, and very few have open their doors back up.
Movie streaming services have become more abundant. People have used these alternate sources of entertainment when trying to catch new releases that may have been pushed back.
Push backs, such as the Avatar sequel, Wonder Woman 1989, and Marvel's Black Widow are going to come out now in 2021 when it was supposed to come out this year.
In relation to push backs, many movies like Mulan and Antebellum are now streaming on Disney Plus and Netflix.
Additionally movie theatres are renting out to people the whole theater for 20 or more people. "I miss walking down the hall and seeing all of the new movies that came out, and the smell of popcorn,"Junior student Parker Cox said. Cox does not like the fact that some theaters are still closed because "it's not the same going to the movies since you have to social distance and wear a mask."
Sophomore Lynnsey Blue wants to see the new Wonder Woman movie. "I'm happy that they are doing the movie streaming now because I don't have to get out of my bed," Blue said. " I miss the popcorn and all of the other fun snacks they've got, " Blue said.
Further people are missing what they used to do as in going to the movies with a group of their friends, and with it not being the same they've had to adjust to the new change. Even though most theaters are not open, people are still happy about the movie streaming.

There was silence for a moment, then Ye Wan Wan said casually, "I see, like parents like daughter... Then can I say like teacher, like student? F-class is the school's worst class. How do you feel about that, Miss Liang?"
"You... You unruly kid!" Liang Li Hua was so angry that her voice broke.
This stupid girl, how dare she insult my teaching standards!
With F-class having the worst results among the other classes, this had always been a source of agony for her.
All the students in the classroom were speechless.
Is this the same Ye Wan Wan who didn't dare to make a sound whenever she got yelled at?
Liang Li Hua laughed coldly, "Ye Wan Wan, did you really think I couldn't handle you? I'll force you to walk through Qing He High School's main gate!"
Ye Wan Wan gave a faint laugh and looked at Liang Li Hua, "What's stopping you, Miss Liang? You're so powerful, of course you can handle a student like me."
Ye Wan Wan purposely added emphasis to "You're so powerful", obviously hinting about Liang Li Hua and the school leader's illicit relationship.
As expected, Liang Li Hua's expression changed.
Although Ye Wan Wan didn't have any proof, nor would people believe anything she said, if she merely spread the rumours around, that would be enough. There'd definitely be people who'd investigate--especially since the school leader's wife was a school teacher as well.
This stupid girl, how dare she threaten her!
The official bell rang, indicating the start of lessons and broke the stalemate.
Liang Li Hua's face darkened and said angrily, "There is only one more week left until exams. Thanks to you, lessons were interrupted! I'll deal with you later!"
Forget it, this stupid girl will be leaving in a couple of days. There is no need to blow up the matter now.
"Everybody, please turn to page 72 of your textbook!"
The students sighed in disappointment, seeing that the drama had ended.
Senior year classes were spent completing numerous major and minor exams. The exam this time was considered more important and the seats would be reallocated based on the results.
Ye Wan Wan swept through the contents of the textbook and closed her eyes.
Within the next second, the contents of the textbook were imprinted clearly within her mind.
It was known to very little people that she had the ability to remember everything she read.
Once she read the information in the textbook, she would be able to pen everything down, even without going through her brain.
How well she performed was totally dependent on how well she wanted to perform.
Unfortunately, results and scores to the Ye Wan Wan of the past didn't mean anything--her heart was never focused on her studies.
If she wanted the school to eradicate the decision to expel her, the examination this time around was crucial.


The big man in the red suit will be stopping by everyone's house tomorrow. The little guy in the brown fur (Newton's Nook) is stopping by today!
I guess this is our family photo for the year. Can't decide if I'm the mouse or the bear though! Jim would probably say I'm grumpy as a bear sometime but I see myself as the little mouse - besides that, she's cute! Rambo looks pretty dashing in that red sweater and Santa hat too.
The mouse and bear are stamps from Jane's Doodles and the little doxie stamp is from There She Goes. I used distress ink on the sky background and then splattered some Frost White for snowflakes.
I'll enter this in the challenge at Pixie's Crafty Workshop (lots of snippets on this one).
This will be my last post for a little while. The kiddos are coming - in waves - and I plan to spend as much time with them as possible since I haven't seen them in a year. I'll try and schedule one more card next week but doubt if I'll have time to visit anyone's blog. I'll see everyone again soon.
Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! At times, it's been a pretty rough year for Jim and I but we're hoping for a better 2016. Thanks to everyone for your support, love, and comments through the year. It means more than you'll ever know.
Every year at Christmas I use this stamp from Impression Obsession for at least one Christmas card. I'd actually forgotten about it this year and then remembered I needed a card for the vet's office. The vet is very special to all of us. Rambo wouldn't be as healthy as he is without that wonderful man. Very CAS and not much coloring at all - which makes things go quick too. It's just a beautiful peaceful image to me though. I added a snowflake die from Lawn Fawn and stacked it about 4 times.
I followed the sketch at Sketch Saturday so will enter it in their challenge. I'll also enter it in the challenge at Moving Along with the Times (A Special Person), and Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets - of card stock and layers of the snowflake).
I really debated whether to put this on here or not, but then figured - what the heck! After all, it's Fun Friday so just had to share this little guy. Doesn't it make you want to break out into that Creedence Clearwater Revival song "Jerimiah Was a Bullfrog"! Um.....Creedence may be a little redneck-ish for some (and too old for others), but if you ever heard the song you'd get my drift here. All he needs is a bottle of wine sitting beside him (as in the song). In fact, when I was posting this I was singing it at the same time and Jim hollered in here wanting to know if I'd dipped into the wine bottle again or something! Yes, my singing is that bad!
Using some leftover pieces that were sitting on my desk......Kraft card stock, some unknown patterned paper, sentiment, twine, stitched circle, and of course the star of the show - little frog from Penny Black. On the patterned paper I used a Whimsy border die for the 'stitching'.
Since I used some snippets, I'll enter this in the challenge at Pixie's Crafty Workshop. It's a fun challenge.
Now, not everyone has one of these. In fact, I'd venture to guess that no one has one! About 30 years ago I was rushing out of the house to drop the kids at school and head to work. I raised up the garage door (not like I did the week before and tried to drive through it) and this 'thing' was sitting there! Yikes! I reached down and picked it up and it was as stiff as a board. I showed it to the kids who thought it was the most interesting thing ever and so I decided to take it to work with me. It was the hit of the day! Since it was around Christmas, one of the ladies was working on some type of felt project and whipped up a Santa hat for it. I've never given the little guy a name but he's kinda like Elf on a Shelf and gets pulled out every year at Christmas to watch over the decorations. I think he's mummified - or something. Weird! He really needs a name........any ideas?
Thanks for stopping by........have a great weekend and remember to SMILE!
A couple more quickies - but these are gift card holders for the grands. Since they're both girls I had to add some sequins and the sparkle of Wink of Stella too. One has a tiny heart charm on it. The baggie die is from Lawn Fawn.
The one on the right is for the progressive challenge at From the Heart Stamps. If you played along last month you got this cute image of the little bear and his presents, free this month. If you didn't play along, you can still purchase it in the shop. I colored the image with Copics and added patterned paper.
The one of the left is for the weekly challenge at From the Heart Stamps. I just love that cute little snowman and it fit perfect for their sketch challenge (with a twist of a gift card holder) this week.
I also used a snippet of some patterned paper, stamped the sentiment, and added the snippet of twine. We always need this type of card even though I don't like having to make them. It makes me sad but hopefully the person it's going to will know I'm thinking of them.
Blogger threw me for another loop yesterday so you may have already seen a little sneak peek of this card. No matter though - it's just one more card for Christmas.
I stamped out the Stampendous wreath, took 48 hours to get it colored, and then realized I didn't have any gold paper. Did some heat embossing around the edges of the panel to make it gold and mounted the wreath on that. Of course, during the process I got gold embossing powder all over the Versmark ink pad! Stamped the sentiment, smeared it, and started over. Finally got the sentiment right, added some Wink of Stella to the wreath and it's a done deal.
Needless to say after working on this one card for approximately 5 days I ditched the great idea for mass production.

Q: Best way to clean csv that uses comma delimiter & double quote (") text qualifier using excel. Data errors with extra" makes data go to wrong fields I have been having issues where my data is in the wrong fields. I have a few large csv files that I have to manually update before loading into QLIK. The csv's have a comma (,) delimiter & double quote (") text qualifier. Some data has extra characters that throw it off and results in numeric numbers in text fields and vice versa. Can someone please advise the best/fastest way to combat this? To remove the unwanted " and save me from manually deleting quotes and pasting to correct fields for hundreds of records. I have created dummy data below.
Please note I am bit limited with the tools I have available to clean the csv. Or could you please advise the best tools/applications needed for this? Just unsure where to start
IN NOTEPAD:
ID,T_No,T_Type,T_Date,T_Name,T_TNo,

A: If the issue is just with the T_Name column, you could set the mode to CsvMode.NoEscape, use the ClassMap to get the fields you know you can get without issue and then use some logic to figure out where the T_Name column ends and the T_TNo column starts.  There is a lot that could break in this code, depending on what the rest of the data looks like, but it should at least give you some ideas.
void Main()
{
    var text = new StringBuilder();
    text.AppendLine("ID,T_No,T_Type,T_Date,T_Name,T_TNo,");
    text.AppendLine("2,256,House,30/05/2021,Airport,75.1,");
    text.AppendLine("3,268,Hotel,31/05/2021,Hotel Antel\"\"\",76.1");
    text.AppendLine("4,269,House,31/05/2021,Bank of USA,\"LA Branch\"\"\"\"\",77.1");

    var config = new CsvConfiguration(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture)
    {
        Mode = CsvMode.NoEscape
    };

    using (var reader = new StringReader(text.ToString()))
    using (var csv = new CsvReader(reader, config))
    {
        var options = new TypeConverterOptions { Formats = new[] { "dd/MM/yyyy" } };
        csv.Context.TypeConverterOptionsCache.AddOptions<DateTime>(options);
        csv.Context.RegisterClassMap<MyClassMap>();

        var records = new List<MyClass>();

        csv.Read();
        csv.ReadHeader();

        while (csv.Read())
        {
            var record = csv.GetRecord<MyClass>();
            var name = string.Empty;

            int i = 4;
            var finished = false;

            while (!finished)
            {
                var field = csv.GetField(i);

                if (i == 4)
                {
                    record.Name = field.Replace("\"", "");
                    i++;
                    continue;

A: If you have access to C# (there is a free version) you could process the file and fix the bad records. I would do that by figuring out first if there is an issue, and if there is then. Figure out where the name field starts and ends and fix the issues with the quotes.
This would be a good starting point:
private void UpdateCsv()
{
    var lines = System.IO.File.ReadAllLines("your file");
    var updatedLines = new List<string>();

    foreach (var line in lines)
    {
        //fixes issue with your first example
        var newLine = line.TrimEnd(',');
        var fixedString = "";

        if (newLine.Split(",").Length == 6)  //indicates there are no issues
        {
            fixedString = newLine;
        }
        else
        {

            //get the start of the name field
            var startName = IndexOfOccurence(newLine, ",", 4) + 1;

            //get the end of the name field
            var endName = newLine.LastIndexOf(',') + 1;

            //populate a new string to hold the fixed data
            fixedString = newLine.Substring(0, startName);

            //parse the name field based on start and end
            var name = newLine.Substring(startName, endName - startName - 1);

            //get rid of starting and ending quotes
            name = name.TrimStart('"').TrimEnd('"');

            //what to do with quote in middle of string? escape or remove your choice uncomment your choice
            //name = name.Replace('"', ' '); //to remove
            //name = name.Replace("\"", "\"\""); //to escape

            //if name contains comma or quote then add quote, else not needed
            if (name.Contains(',') || name.Contains('"'))
            {
                fixedString += "\"" + name + "\"" + newLine.Substring(endName - 1);
            }
            else
            {
                fixedString += name + newLine.Substring(endName - 1);
            }
        }

        updatedLines.Add(fixedString);
    }

    //write out the updated data
    System.IO.File.WriteAllLines("your file", updatedLines);

}

private int IndexOfOccurence(string s, string match, int occurence)
{
    int i = 1;
    int index = 0;

    while (i <= occurence && (index = s.IndexOf(match, index + 1)) != -1)
    {
        if (i == occurence)
            return index;

        i++;
    }

    return -1;
}

High altitude retinal hemorrhage: A clinical and pathological case report
J. R. Lubin, D. Rennie, P. Hackett, Daniel Albert
Retinal hemorrhages may occur at high altitudes. They occur more commonly in association with acute mountain sickness and particularly with high-altitude cerebral edema. We describe a 27-year-old man who experienced retinal hemorrhages as well as papilledema and coma at 5,330-m altitude and who died four days later, one day after evacuation to 1,300-m altitude. At autopsy, we found papilledema and hemorrhages in the nerve fiber layer. These were sometimes distant from areas where there were arterioles and venules. There was perivascular red cell infiltration. Deeper layers of the retina were intact. We conclude that the hemorrhages were from both retinal capillaries and veins and we speculate that hypoxia, with or without the Valsalva effect, was the cause of the endothelial damage.

Hearing a sound of strife, a Christian in the Orient asked his Dragoman the cause of it.
"The Buddhists are cutting Mohammedan throats," the Dragoman replied, with oriental composure.
"The Mohammedans are cutting Buddhist throats, too," added the Dragoman.

The book of John offers something for everyone from the person seeking to know Jesus for the first time to Christians who want to experience His love at a deeper level. Through a combination of lecture and discussion, this class offers women an opportunity to study one of the most quoted and beloved books of the Bible in a fellowship of caring Christian women.
The class uses Kathleen Nielson's book John: That You May Believe to guide the study. Nielson says that the book of John offers insight into "Jesus' deep discourses and the beauty of his unfolding passion throughout its chapters. Jesus, the Word made flesh, emerges powerfully and personally, so it is no surprise that John sums up his gospel's message as 'so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name'" (John 20:31). John offers a theologically deep answer and a compelling historical narrative as to the identity and purpose of God's anointed Son.
The book contains 20 chapters, covering the 21 chapters of John. The fall course covered the first ten chapters of John. Chapters eleven through twenty-one will be the study for Spring, but each course can stand alone if a participant can only do one course.
Time: 6:45 – 7:45 a.m.

Asahel Aldrich was born to Abner and Phebe (Inman) Aldrich at Lisbon, New Hampshire on Sunday, August 1, 1779 where he was raised on the family farm, educated and grew to adulthood (Aldrich, 1971c and Canadian Census, 1851).
About 1827, Asahel, Sarah and their family moved to Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada and on March 11, 1828 purchased the family farm in Ascot Township, Sherbrooke County, Quebec, Canada from the widow of Obijah Fish through a trader Taylor H. Moore. Over a period of years he sold pieces of this farm to his son Asahel Junior and to others.
"...That certain tract or parcel of land lying and being in the said Township of Ascot, known and distinguished as the equal half or mostly of the South half of Lot number à in the Fourth Range of Lots in the said Township of Ascot containing about forty six superficial acres and the usual allowance for highways more or less; saving and excepting fourteen superficial acres to be taken off of the West end of the said South half belonging to ABRAHAM HYATT as the said South half of the said lot is and extends (Saving the said fourteen acres) together with all the edifices thereon erected and the advantages to the same now or heretofore belonging or in any way appertaining and as it was with a greater number of acres taken the said vendor conveyed by TAYLOR H. MOORE of Ascot, Trader, per act executed before DANIEL THOMAS, Esq, Notary Public, at Melbourne on the Eleventh day of March eighteen hundred and twenty-eight to whom said Moore the land (without the reserve of the said fourteen acres) was conveyed by the widow of the late OBIJAH FISH, in his life time of the Township of Compton, by virtue of an order of Court as appeared per act execution before the said DANIEL THOMAS, Esq, Notary, at Melbourne on the eleventh day of March, eighteen hundred and twenty-eight, copies of which said acts have actually been remitted by the vendor to the said purchaser..." (Deed of Sale,1833).
"...All that certain tract, piece or parcel of land situate give and being in the said Township of Ascot, known and distinguished as about fifteen acres of land to be taken off the South East corner of the West half of Lot Number Five in the Fourth Range of the said Township of Ascot, and bounded as follows; on one side towards the West by the Salmon River, towards the North and East by the said purchaser and on the South by one HENRY BARTON, without however any guarantee as to the actual quantity, together with the buildings and improvements thereto erected and made and other appurtenances and dependencies whatsoever, thereunto belonging, or in anywise appertaining, and all the estate, right, title, interest, property, claim, and demand whatsoever, of him, the said Vendor, of in, to and out of the said tract or parcel of land, and premises above described, bargained, and sold, or mentioned, or intended so to be, as the same now are, without any exception or reserve, and with which the said Purchaser doth hereby declare himself acquainted and satisfied, being now in possession of the same..."

Earlier, it was feared that at least 33 people lost their lives as a bus carrying Dapoli Agriculture University students and teaching staff fell into a gorge in Raigad area near Mahabaleshwar.
The bus slipped off the road as it was passing through the mountainous region in Ambenali Ghat near Mahabaleshwar in the Raigad district and fell into a 250-300 feet deep gorge.
The bus was carrying 31 people who were going for a picnic when the mishap took place. NDRF teams carried out the relief and rescue work. The incident had occurred around 12.30 pm on Saturday.
On Saturday, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had announced ex-gratia of Rs 4 lakh each to the family of those who died in the accident. He had also said that the state government would take care of the medical expenses of those injured.
"Administration taking all efforts to provide required assistance. Senior officials and emergency management systems in place. My thoughts are with families who lost loved ones and prayers for speedy recovery of injured" Fadnavis had tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Congress president Rahul Gandhi were among those who expressed grief at the loss of lives of people in the mishap. Prime Minister Modi had said, "Pained by the loss of lives due to a bus accident in Maharashtra's Raigad district. My condolences to those who lost their loved ones."
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had also taken to Twitter to express grief saying, "I'm sorry to hear about the terrible bus accident in Raigad, Maharashtra in which a large number of people have been killed and many others injured. I appeal to Congress party workers in the area to provide all possible assistance to the injured & families of those who have died."

Who's Reviewing the Reviewers?
The system created to review and monitor clinical trials involving humans is vulnerable to "unethical manipulation," and government officials admit they don't assess whether some parts of the system are adequate or even factual.
In a recent investigation of the Institutional Review Board (IRB) system, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) created a fake company with a fake review board, received approval to test a nonexistent medical device, and falsified documents—all with the approval of federal agencies.
An IRB is an entity formally designated to review and monitor research involving human subjects. IRBs have traditionally been part of large research universities, but private companies have started playing a greater role in creating IRBs to oversee clinical trials. The Department of Health and Human Services' Office for Human Research Protections and the Food and Drug Administration are responsible for overseeing the IRB system.
In its undercover investigation, GAO created a "bogus" company and IRB. It appeared so real that a private research company contacted the GAO's IRB about reviewing its surgical procedures. In addition, GAO filed an assurance statement with HHS, promising to protect human subjects. That HHS assurance application, which was approved, would have allowed the fake company to receive HHS research funding. And the last part of the investigation? GAO was able to get approval from an actual IRB to test a fake medical device.
In response to GAO's investigation, the director of the Office of Human Research Protections said when reviewing assurance applications, HHS does not consider whether the IRBs listed are "adequate" nor does it review applications to determine whether the information is true.
The results of GAO's investigation were presented recently in testimony before the House Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations, Committee on Energy and Commerce.

From our Clergy, Writings: Rabbi Dow Marmur
Issues in Contemporary Jewish Life with Rabbi Dow Marmur
Click image above for more details
By Rabbi Dow Marmur.
I hope you'll join me on some or all of the five Thursday in October at 7.30 p.m. at the Temple to consider some of the issues that preoccupy teachers and exponents of contemporary Judaism.
The topics I've chosen are inspired by an essay on the thought of David Hartman – one of the most important exponents of contemporary Judaism – who died earlier this year. Though my views are by no means his, I'll be referring to him and many others from whom I've learnt much.
There'll be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
