1) Attorneys can equalize the difference in resources between you and trucking companies. Trucking companies and insurance companies are generally huge companies with virtually unlimited resources. They can delay your case or claim until you are pressured to accept a lower settlement than you are entitled to. A Florida personal injury attorney working on a contingency basis uses his or her resources to equalize the playing field. With an attorney, you can afford to wait for a fair settlement.
2) Attorneys can investigate the accident. Most trucking companies and unions have excellent attorneys on retainer and these attorneys have investigators who can arrive on the accident scene immediately. Even if you hire an accident attorney yourself, your attorney will likely not have access to the accident scene until after most of the debris and evidence has been taken away. However, your attorney will have respected private investigators and accident reconstruction experts who can recreate the accident scene and uncover evidence.
3) Attorneys can get access to information you cannot. Attorneys can seek and get access to medical records, driver records, police records, and trucking company records. This evidence can be crucial to your case and can help you reach a fairer settlement.
4) Attorneys have the experience and legal knowledge to represent you. Attorneys know what sorts of costs a patient in your situation will need to make over a longer recovery time and most attorneys can also determine the financial resources of the liable party in your accident. Combined with a good understanding of laws, this allows attorneys to seek out a truly fair settlement.
5) Insurance companies have powerful attorneys, and a personal injury attorney ensures that you do, too. Without your own attorney, you may find yourself facing reams of legal documents to sign. Attorneys from trucking companies and insurance companies may tell you that these documents are standard, but by signing them, you could be signing away important rights – unless you have your own attorney look these papers over. Without your own attorney, you are at the mercy of insurance and trucking company attorneys – and those attorneys have their own clients' best interests at heart, not yours.
6) Attorneys can help you if the truck driver in your accident was underinsured. Many truck drivers are underinsured, making it harder to recover a fair settlement. Personal injury attorneys, however, can seek settlements from multiple liable parties, increasing the odds that you will get a fair settlement that pays for all your medical costs and lost income.

Q: Identifying unique users in server-side tracking I'm now learning about server-side tracking (as opposed to client-side), and I can't understand how the identifying of a unique user is done, when we use server-side method?
What I find on the internet, is only this phrase "unique id is generated and then mapped against a user every time they take actions". But I don't understand what originally allows to create this "unique id" in such a way that it is unique for every unique user.
Could you please share this in some broad terms - without a specific code, just the working principles and mechanics?
Thank you!

Skin care is essential for everyone but for diabetics it has to be a priority. Your skin may seem like a simple thing but there are numerous blood vessels and nerves with in it that require extra care if you have diabetes. Here, we will talk about diabetic skin care tips.
Diabetes can increase your likelihood of getting skin problems. This is because over time, high blood glucose can damage your nervous system and impact your body's ability to feel or detect even a tiny change. So you might have a wound on your foot, and not notice or feel it at all, and consequently not treat it until it gets complicated into an ulcer or infection.
Another possible diabetes skin problem can be dry, itchy skin and rashes. Glucose deposits can result in poor blood circulation, leaving your skin dehydrated or malnourished.
To avoid all kinds of diabetic complication whether they are skin related or not, it is recommended to focus on controlling blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.
Talk to your doctor about what lifestyle changes you need to adopt and medical interventions that will be best for you. Eat healthy foods and limit carb intake along with exercising.
Most complications are a result of high blood glucose levels for a long period of time. Prevention is better than cure! So in order to avoid complications, it is vital that you maintain your blood sugar levels.
Controlling diabetes can help improve your skin problems. When blood sugar levels rise, your body produces more urine to get rid of excess sugar. This means your body also gets devoid of necessary fluids leading to dehydrated skin.
High blood glucose can also affect your nervous system that can ultimately lead to major complications including skin problems such as numbness or loss of sensation on the skin of extremities.
Diabetics are also prone to high blood pressure and this can affect their skin as well. Take your blood pressure medication regularly and cut back on salt. Follow your doctor's advice about your diet and medication. Try to keep your glucose levels normal and maintain a healthy weight through exercise.
Diabetic patients need to be really aware of their body's all the time especially if they have a neuropathy. Decreased sensation and blood circulation could mean you have an infected cut, scratch, or skin puncture and not know about it. The goal here is to not let a small thing turn into a big problem.
Take a good look at your body especially your feet after a shower. Lookout for any dry, red, or sore spots that could become infected. Make sure you check your legs, ankles, feet and in between your toes every day for new wounds and for old ones healing progress.
If you see a cut somewhere, treat it right away. Do not neglect it! Wash it with soap and water. Do not apply antiseptics, iodine, or alcohol on clean cuts as they could be harsh. Contact your healthcare provider to get a prescription for an antibiotic cream or ointment to use on minor cuts. If you think a wound might not be healing, talk to your doctor right away.
Take measures to avoid wounds in the first place by covering up. So if you're going outside for gardening or walking the dog, make sure you cover your legs with long pants and your feet with flat, well-fitting shoes. If you're doing the dishes, make sure you wear dish-washing gloves to protect your hands from harsh chemicals in dish soaps.

Diabetics are prone to dryness like dry skin on ankles diabetes as their body removes more water and produces more urine to eliminate glucose from the system. Prevent your skin from getting too dry at all costs. Dry skin can easily crack, itch, and get infected.
Do not use hot water for bathing and avoid long showers. Avoid exceeding the water temperature more than 120 degrees and try not to stay immersed in water for more than 10 to 15 minutes.
Experts say that burns from hot water are also a risk if you have diabetic neuropathy, which can cause numbness in the hands and feet. After you're done, pat skin dry, don't rub it. Use diabetic dry skin lotion.
Try not to scratch dry skin and apply moisturizer instead. Also use a good moisturizer after showers. Make sure you buy a fragrance-free and dye-free moisturizer. Always use best moisturizer for diabetics.
Use a lip balm on chapped lips. You can also use a room humidifier in winters to keep your skin moist all the time to avoid diabetes related skin conditions.
Cut down the products you use on your skin. Choose moisturizing products over harsher brands when buying soaps and body washes. Most commercial products don't hydrate your skin and contain a lot of chemicals that can dry out your skin even more.
Refrain from using bubble baths, which often contain detergents that can be drying. Go for natural products like oils and gels. Don't forget to use sunscreen outdoors and protect your skin by using sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
Your diet can have a huge impact on your skin. Your skin can actually show if you're having too much sugar and less nutrients. Eating whole grains, less saturated fat, and lots of fruits and vegetables is the key to improve your skin health but remember, not all fruit is the same for people with diabetes.
Fruits are a carbohydrate and contains fructose so they will affect your blood sugar. Limit your intake of fruits that contain more sugars, dried fruits like raisins and cranberries also.
Go for fruits that have less sugars like berries. Keep your fruit intake limited to fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. You can have a lot of such fruits without raising your blood sugar.
Diabetics lose a lot of water through urine. Keep yourself hydrated and drink more water than normal to keep your skin moist and healthy. Use diabetic skin care tips and products to have a good skin.

When Undoy happened 3 years ago, people said it's very unlikely to happen again. They were wrong. Granted it wasn't actually a full-blown typhoon that hit us just a few weeks back, but the flooding and consequent damages are generally just as bad.
That being said, I personally think natural challenges like these will happen more often than we think. More calamities will come and more people will need help. The good thing is, more and more people are actually willing to help… and they do it in different and creative ways.
Case in point, a local car club named TrackHos did something creative for charity late last year. The club is composed of people who own exotic and performance cars. We are talking about Philippine motorists driving Ferraris, Porshes, Lamborghinis, and GTRs. They wanted to get together, have fun, and raise funds for charity… so what did they do? Simple, they had their own car event — TrackHos Mile — an unlimited speed airport runway event. So one Sunday, they drove their exotic cars to Subic, shot a video, hanged out, raised funds, and donated all of the proceeds to the Philippines Red Cross in aid of the victims of Typhoon Sendong.
See more by watching this video uploaded by Trackhos on Youtube.
My personal insight from this exercise is this: given the right motivation, people can come up with many creative ways to help. For example, during the recent "habagat calamity", a hardware store owner I know lent his dump truck to ferry people across waist-deep flooded portions of the road,… and I saw teens swimming and dragging inflatable boats loaded with supplies to bring help to areas where even dump trucks can go through. The simple formula seems to be just to look at whatever you have, and maximize or repurpose them for a greater benefit.
Now its your turn… What do you think can you do?
Ferrari has a new driver… one that looks great on the golf course.
It's true. Ferrari, in partnership with Cobra Puma Golf, has just launched a new golf line; and their crown jewel: the Ferrari driver.
The club looks great — sleek and aerodynamic. The grip is made from the same leather you'll find in the Ferrari GT interior. I'm not really sure if this driver will really help improve your golf score but you'll definitely look good while driving.
The Ferrari golf collection will be available in stores this July.


Not every foreign ministry communicates with its home audience. For some it is unconstitutional; for many it serves no purpose. But for multicultural and particularly former colonial powers, communicating with the home audience has the potential to be a vital tool for engagement, especially as the boundaries between domestic and international are blurred by international travel, migration and global connectivity. This article examines 'public diplomacy at home' in the United Kingdom, both as a general policy of the last Labour government and more specifically in the context of initiatives to tackle Islamist terrorism. In terms of the latter, it explores the strengths and limitations of both faith-based approaches to outreach to Muslim communities and a country-based approach to outreach, using Pakistan as a case study.

FRANK HODGKINSON
Frank Hodgkinson, the younger brother of Roy, was born on 23 April 1919. He studied at the Royal Art Society of New South Wales (under Dattilo Rubbo) while supporting himself by producing illustrations for magazines. After service as an official World War II artist, Frank Hodgkinson left Australia in 1947 to study and travel throughout Europe. During this period he took some lessons at S.W. Hayter's Atelier 17 in Paris.
He returned to Sydney in 1953. Then, after winning the inaugural Helena Rubinstein Scholarship in 1958, he took up residence in Spain; John Olsen was living nearby. On a number of occasions in the 1960s Hodgkinson returned to Australia for exhibitions.
During a trip to Perth in 1969 he was invited to travel through the north-west of the state. The journey reawakened his need for the Australian landscape and resulted in his relocation to Queensland at the end of 1970.
In 1971 Hodgkinson welcomed Clifton Pugh's invitation to visit him at 'Dunmoochin'. He joined Pugh and John Olsen at this artists' colony on the outskirts of Melbourne at Cottles Bridge. Pugh, who had recently returned from S.W. Hayter's school, was keen to experiment with the oil viscosity etching process, and his enthusiasm proved to be a major stimulus for Hodgkinson's printmaking.
Within a short period he produced two suites of prints, Inside the Landscape and Landscape Inside, and, jointly with Pugh, a book of prints and the poems of Harry Roschenko, titled IS.
In his figurative landscapes, time-worn lines become rich and sensuous — full of colour and texture in a joyous celebration of female and landscape forms. At the end of 1971 Hodgkinson left the artists' colony to visit the Australian outback which has continued to fascinate him and stimulate his work.
Hodgkinson published a number of diaries with illustrations, some in limited editions (as in Sepik Diary, [compiled from a diary on patrol along the Sepik River by dug-out canoe whilst artist-in-residence at the University of Papua New Guinea in 1977] Richard Griffin, 1982) and some in more general form (Reed Books 1985) and Kakoda and Armhem Landers, Weldon 1987. A monograph of his life and work by the Senior Curator of Australian Art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Barry Pearce, was published in 1995 and a film about his working routine, the variety of media used, his collecting passions, his curiosity about the culture and aesthetic of both sophisticated and primitive societies was made in 1997.
Frank Hodgkinson died at his home on the outskirts of Sydney on 20 October 2001.
In an obituary in the Sydney Morning Herald on 23 October, Hodgkinson's wife Kate spoke of a man who loved life and living. "In the early evening we realised he was sinking so we made some spaghetti and got a bottle of Grange and we sat around and drank it for and with him. [We] brought an Egyptian sarcophagus into the bedroom … because the Egyptians know their way through the netherworld and played his favourite music Miles Davis' Sketches ofSpain. I had my hand on his heart and I realised it was no longer thumping. He had this huge heart like Phar Lap. He just drifted away. It was most peaceful".

In 1972, NCCC moved to its new permanent location in Sanborn, which is centrally located in Niagara County. The new 285-acre Sanborn campus could provide for future expansion if needed.
At that time, indoor and outdoor athletic facilities were being created on the campus. These were not available at NCCC's downtown Niagara Falls locations. During the early years of NCCC's intercollegiate athletics program, the school used rental facilities for its limited sports program.
The college's first director of athletics, Roy Sommer, along with his staff, quickly began to build a highly-regarded and well-respected intercollegiate athletics program, particularly in men's basketball, wrestling and bowling. Sommer and fellow coaches Dan Bazzani and Eric Knuutila made national headlines. Bazzani led his men's basketball team to the 1977-78 NJCAA championship game, Knuutila has been part of 22 regional championships with the wrestling program and Sommer helped the men's bowling team win a pair of NJCAA titles.
In more recent years, NCCC has seen success in women's volleyball, women's basketball, men's basketball, wrestling, baseball and golf.
Coach Matt Clingersmith's baseball teams have won five regional titles and twice finished as the NJCAA runners-up.
Men's basketball coach Bill Beilein has had several outstanding basketball seasons, including a regional championship in 2016-17, and in the current season, his team earned a berth in the NJCAA Division II championships in the Danville, Illinois, before losing out in the outstanding junior college basketball competition.
Women's basketball coach Nate Beutel had a 31-0 record before heading to the national competition where his team lost a heartbreaker game by one point. A fantastic NCCC women's basketball team.
A problem does exist with NCCC's sports facilities, though, many of which are approximately 45 years old. There have been some improvements over the years with a new gym floor, bleachers and an undersized physical fitness/weight room. There were very few improvements made to the outdoor sports facilities over the years. Currently, there are no permanent bleachers, no spectator parking, no permanent restrooms, no press box and no concession stand in the baseball, softball, soccer and multi-field outdoor sport facilities area. Easily, six of the 10 scholastic public school districts located in Niagara County have better sport facilities than Niagara County Community College.
An NCCC Athletic Facility Task Force was established last April and is working towards the completion of a feasibility study to update the sport facilities at the college. The task force wants to place NCCC with comparative sport facilities enjoyed by the greater majority of the 30 community colleges located within New York state.
Currently, the feasibility study includes a new physical fitness area, more locker room space, additional wrestling space and an officials locker room. The new outdoor sports facilities would include synthetic turf baseball, softball and multi-purpose sport fields. There would also be restrooms, a press box, concession stand and spectator parking.
The total cost of these improvements would be approximately $8-10 million. The State University of New York would provide half of the cost, with NCCC looking for grants, NCCC Foundation support and benefactors to cover the other half.
The upgrading of the athletic facilities at NCCC is a great undertaking, which is going to take a collective effort to achieve. But it is sorely needed.
Yes, NCCC is one of the best of the 30 community colleges located within New York state. The college enrolls 5,200 students in over 60 degree and certificate programs, including 10 complete online degrees. NCCC has on-campus student housing, 40 clubs and organizations and is a top school for veterans to attend. It's home to several nationally-ranked competitive NJCAA men's and women's teams, along with many academic and athletic All-Americans, who have generated great pride for NCCC and the Greater Niagara community. These coaches, teams and athletes need the upgrades to the indoor and outdoor sports facilities to continue the proud tradition of the NCCC intercollegiate sports programs.
Former Director of Athletics such as Sommer, Lee Wallace and Robert McKeown, along with current AD Amanda Haseley have worked hard to hire good coaches and improve the sport facilities for NCCC student-athletes as best as they could. The time has arrived to support the NCCC intercollegiate sports program with a major upgrade of the indoor and outdoor athletic facilities.


← Celebration Garland: a sewing project for the boy!
I've fallen hard for the fox trend, y'all. I designed this fox print last year and had some fabric printed at Spoonflower, and since then I've made a few garments for the kiddos with it, like this fox skirt for Clementine. I wanted a design that would work for boys without being too stereotypical (like trucks or baseballs), and, while I love all of the fabric prints that have come out in the past year or so that feature foxes, the vast majority of them really only work for girls. Which is silly, because foxes are an awesome boy motif! Maybe even my favorite right now? I'm not sure. Probably.
He wore this tee pretty much non-stop last summer, and, as a result, it's seen a great deal of wear/washing/fading. I will say, though, that having made somewhere around 5 or 6 tees now for my kids with Spoonflower knit, I found that both turning the garment inside out during washing, and washing on delicate can greatly decrease the fading (something I didn't do with this tee). I kinda like the fadedness of this one, though; it gives the colors a bit of a retro/vintage feel, and since the print on this tee was pretty bold and modern to begin with, I don't really mind it at all. You might lose delicate details on a more intricate print, though…something to be aware of if you ever plan to print your own designs with Spoonflower. The other thing is that the prints I have on cotton and poplin from Spoonflower are barely faded at all! Seems the knit is the main culprit. OK, blah blah. If you want me to talk more about Spoonflower, I can. But I can answer specific questions in comments.
I used my Flashback Tee pattern, with a short sleeve instead of a long sleeve (tutorial for that can be found here).
You guys are LUCKY today, because he did "muscle guy" for these pictures. AWESOME.
Yes! Please do a post describing your Spoonflower experience!
Love that fox print! Your son looks like he is really getting into this!
Great tee! I've always had a lot of affection for foxes.
He is hilarious! And I LOVE the t-shirt. I've been thinking I need to design some knits since I can rarely find just exactly what I want. Thanks for the washing tips.
I wish CTB went on forever just so we could keep seeing E's awesome photo antics. 🙂 Agree about the foxes, too!
hahaha, you certainly have a great model! The foxes are very cool. Have you seen this fabric? http://www.fashionablefabrics.com/timber-and-leaf-fox-portrait-in-brown-by-blend-fabrics.aspx It is quilting cotton, but lightweight and very soft…I bought one of the other prints for PJ pants. I really like the whole line.
Yes!! I LOVE that timber and leaf line, especially the foxes!!
I LOVE the photos you have been sharing. He looks like such a cool kid to hang out with. Also, speaking of your Spoonflower experience, I saw a whale quilt by Land of Nod that looked suspiciously like your fabric??? Do you know about it?
Thank you for the info on Spoonflower. I have been hoarding a yard of Heather Ross paper boats on knit fabric. I didn't want to mess it up. I guess I should still wash it twice before sewing it up.
And you are such a great resource for non-stereotypical prints for boys. Thank you!
LOVE the foxes….I'm loving that trend too, but had also just been associating them with my girls, but you're right….perfect boy material right there.
That print is ridiculously cute! Did you make the design in photoshop? How did you go about doing that? I've always wanted to design a fabric using spoonflower, but I don't know where to start!
Since you said it was ok to ask about Spoonflower, I have a few questions. I've read tons of tutorials and even a book about designing your own fabric. But for your fox did you draw out the 1 fox and then use the Spoonflower site to make the rows? Or did you do a little square of several foxes and then put them on Spoonflower? I've read of people doing both but no one goes into detail. The tutorials I've read seem to spend more time about how to use Photoshop or Illustrator or that free program that you used and I can't remember the name of. Maybe a Spoonflower post could be in the future. I'm not trying to rush boy time away, as a Mom to 2 boys I'm loving every post. Thanks so much for all you do.
All great questions Ginger!! It is possible to make *just* a single fox, upload it to spoonflower, and then use the spoonflower interface to produce the repeat; however I tend to make the repeat in Inkscape (that free one) to see what it looks like, then select a "tile" and upload that one to spoonflower so that it repeats automatically without fussing. But you can do it both ways!
Love those photos! And the tee, of course!
Love the print and the t-shirt.
Oh my! That little boy of you're is SO CUTE!!!
I love this fabric, very unisex depending on how and what you sew with it.
This is a fab CTB week, I especially love danas pj's yesterday, and all your weekend giveaways.
Love that print. Perfect colors!
So glad you are celebrating the boys, It seems like clothes especially are all about girls. my cutie-pututie deserves some awesome duds too.
Love the shirt, but I love the way your boy's personality shines in your photos even more!

The Amazon-Berkshire Hathaway-JPMorgan healthcare joint venture is officially ending
In: Tech
A somewhat nebulous, but high-profile and potentially heavily-moneyed joint venture is coming to an end: Haven, the JV created by Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and JPMorgan Chase, is being "disbanded" according to CNBC, three years after its original formation. One of the main reasons is that each partner in the venture was apparently just pursuing their own very different strategic approach to their respective healthcare challenges, meaning their really wasn't much joint in the joint venture to begin with.
In a statement provided to CNBC, a Haven spokesperson highlighted some of the good results that came out of the partnership over the years, however, including improving access to primary care, and making insurance benefits packages easier to grasp for employees. Meanwhile, Amazon has made lots of progress on its own with its Amazon Care program, which is its internal healthcare program for employees at its Washington state facilities.
Amazon launches Amazon Care, a virtual and in-person healthcare offering for employees
Amazon Care includes provision of both virtual and in-person primary care doctor visits, and prescription delivery. The company is also reported to be considering expansion of this service to other businesses, which signal its intent to turn it into a real business with aims very much in line with what the Haven JV had originally taken as its guiding light.
To be honest, the original announcement about the JV's founding was light on details and seemed like one of those things that comes together when very rich people talk about their shared problems over a casual afternoon hang at the club with caviar and mineral water distilled from pristine arctic ice or whatever they enjoy during their repasts, so it's not all that surprising it didn't materialize into anything more substantial.

AHRC Peer Review College: Thoughts and Reflections
By Edinburgh Research Office 1st October 2017 27th July 2022 Arts & Humanities, Medical Science, Social Sciences
In today's blog we hear from Professor Genevieve Warwick, Strategic Lead of AHRC at the College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, about recent activity to develop a campaign of excellence for the College.
On behalf of the Research Office and the AHRC Developing Research Excellence campaign, I was delighted to recently gather and welcome for the first time our home community of AHRC Peer Review College members. This was an opportunity to share thoughts and ideas on the instrumental role of our Peer Review members as key figures in developing our AHRC profile at Edinburgh. We were particularly pleased to have Greg Walker, Chair of the AHRC Advisory Board, join us to speak about the importance of promoting arts and humanities research through the AHRC.
Topics of discussion included changing definitions of interdisciplinary research as our research councils move together under one umbrella, RCUK, in Spring 2018. Our focus groups talked about interdisciplinarity from a range of different perspectives: its potential in terms of their own research, within their different subject areas, and for the future of arts and humanities research more broadly. We also talked about how UofE PRC members can contribute to encouraging more applications to AHRC, working together with the Research Office.
Collectively the discussion focused on developing thematic events over the course of the following academic year that expand our depth of understanding of current and upcoming AHRC funding for interdisciplinary research, and to ways of pooling perceptions and experiences on what makes for a strong grant application, and how to develop prospective ideas for future bids.
This event was a follow on from a recent visit by the AHRC themselves to the university, where new AHRC Peer Review members were inducted into the college. We were delighted to welcome the AHRC team leading staff induction for the Peer Review College to the University of Edinburgh. New members of the peer review college from across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the north of England joined us for this key event in peer review training. AHRC staff Anne Sofield and Russell Leake spoke to the vital role of peer review within the research council, and guided us through the ethos and responsibilities of the role.
Able and experienced reviewers then chaired parallel sessions, or 'mock panels', to introduce new PRC members to the working methods of AHRC review procedures for consideration. Delegates were asked to prepare a selection of anonymised applications for presentation and panel discussion. Each panel was composed of a wide range of disciplinary perspectives as well as institutional affiliations in order to give full representation to all Arts and Humanities subjects. The discussions brought consensus through a thoughtful attention to all aspects of each application's research project and a clear understanding of funding priorities.
Joining the AHRC peer review college is an invaluable experience for all Arts and Humanities researchers, enabling us to work with the AHRC as reviewers as well as applicants, and generating a shared understanding of the vital role played by the AHRC in continuing to secure a sure future for our research funding.
Keep your eyes open for more news an events from the AHRC Developing Research Excellence Campaign trail.

Jimmy H. Simpson (1898–1981) was a British motorcycle racer.

Simpson spent many years as a works rider, first with AJS and later with Norton. He was one of the most successful riders before World War II.

Career

Beginnings
Simpson was the elder brother of novelist John Hampson. In 1922, he took part in the Isle of Man TT for the first time. He competed in the 500 cc Senior TT race on a Scott and retired after half a lap with damage to his motorcycle.

Works rider for AJS (1923-1928)
In 1923, Simpson moved to AJS. His first TT for them was the 350 cc Junior TT and despite setting a new lap record for his class, he fell whilst leading the race by over a minute.

In 1924, Simpson took part in both the 500 cc Senior TT and the Junior TT and finished neither race. That year, the European Championship was held for the first time, at the Circuito di Milano in Monza, Italy. Simpson won the 350 cc race, becoming the first European champion in that category.

1925 saw Simpson once again take part in both the Senior TT and Junior TT races on the Isle of Man, as well as the Sidecar TT, in which he finished fifth. In the Senior TT he failed to finish but came third in the Junior TT. In July, Simpson won the UMF Grand Prix at Montlhéry on a Sunbeam.

In 1926, Simpson achieved his best result so far at the Isle of Man TT with second place in the Junior TT. He also won the 500 cc race at the Belgian Grand Prix, held at Spa-Francorchamps. The race carried the European Championship title and so Simpson won his second European title, albeit his only win in the 500 cc category. In August, Simpson won the 350 cc German Grand Prix at the AVUS track.

1927 was Simpson's most successful year so far. He came third in the Junior TT and again won the 350 cc European Championship at the German Grand Prix, held at the Nürburgring. He also won the 350 cc races at the Swiss, Belgian and Austrian Grands Prix.

Works rider for Norton (1929 onwards)
In 1929, Simpson moved to Norton. He failed to finish either the Senior or Junior TTs, but in 1930 he came third in the Senior TT before winning the 500 cc race at the inaugural Swedish Grand Prix, his first international win for Norton.

From 1931, Norton possessed a level of confidence in their single cylinder four stroke engines that would later lead to them dominating the larger 350 cc and 500 cc classes. At the Senior TT, Simpson became the first person to lap the Snaefell Mountain Course at  but he retired. Once again he won the Swedish Grand Prix in the 500 cc category.

In 1932, Simpson came third at the Senior TT. He also won the 350 cc UMF and Belgian Grands Prix.

At the 1933 Isle of Man TT, Simpson finished second in the Senior TT to his teammate, Stanley Woods. He won the 350 cc Swedish Grand Prix which carried the European Championship title, becoming European Champion in the 350 cc class for the third time.

End of career (1934)
At the Isle of Man TT in 1934, Simpson finished second to his teammates in both the Senior and Junior TT. In the 250 cc Lightweight TT, Simpson competed on a Rudge. He beat his teammates, Ernie Nott and Graham Walker, whilst setting a new lap record for the class and securing his first victory at the TT, which was also to be Rudge's last.

Simpson won the 350 cc European Championship title for the fifth time at the Dutch TT. He also won the 350 cc German Grand Prix, the 350 cc and 500 cc Suiss Grands Prix, the 350 cc Belgian Grand Prix and the 350 cc Ulster Grand Prix

After retiring from active competition, Simpson joined the Shell petrol company as a member of its racing division.

Jimmy Simpson Trophy
The Jimmy Simpson Trophy is an annual award at the Isle of Man TT Races. Donated by Arthur Birkett the trophy was first presented at the 1948 Isle of Man TT and is presented to the rider who completes the fastest lap of the meeting.

Newsworthiness
By poetryprof27 on 12th Aug 2019 • ( Leave a comment )
"Events don't get into the news by simply happening. They must fit in with what is already known… They must fulfil a certain number of criteria… must jostle for inclusion in the limited number of slots available."
Hartley, 1982
What makes a story newsworthy? This video explains something called the TRUTH test used in media training courses to show what journalists look for in a story.
Have you ever wondered why only bad news gets reported? Or why some bad news gets more coverage than other bad news? For example – I bet every time there's a terrorist threat in the US or Western Europe, you'll find out about it through newsfeeds, television broadcasts, mobile phone notifications and front page splashes. But I'd wager you may not hear about attacks in places like Pakistan, Yemen, Nigeria or Somalia. If you were to use only the news media to learn where in the world was most at threat from terrorism, you might well conclude that London, Paris, New York or Washington are constantly under threat of attack. These infographics, known as the Global Terrorism Index and produced by the IEP, might be an illuminating way for you to question how the reality of terrorist activity in the world compares to the 'reality' constructed by international media reporting of terrorist activity.
So, why do some events garner major media coverage and others are all but ignored? The most famous names in the study of news media are Galthung and Ruge, whose seminal 1973 work provided a collection of criteria by which analysts agree the news is 'selected' or chosen. Study the following materials to find out more about this topic: a recommended starting point is 'What Is News?', an extract from a primer for students of journalism. Then choose one or two more articles to come to a better understanding of newsworthiness:
What is News? (extract from Melvin Mencher's News Reporting and Writing)
Eight Values That Will Make Your Content Newsworthy (Digital Third Coast online article)
Criteria to Judge Newsworthiness (handout)
Why News Junkies Are So Glum About Politics (from The Atlantic)
What makes a story newsworthy? (lecture by journalism professor Mark Grabowski)
Class Activity 1 : "Read All About It!"
Look at the front pages of recent newspapers in the UK (or elsewhere) and collate a selection of the stories that you find. Use this resource from PBS to consider major newsworthiness criteria – explain the most recent stories by applying these criteria. Discuss your findings with others in your class.
Class Activity 2 : Hot Off the Press
The news doesn't just happen – it is made. The news cycle runs for 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every week of the year. Newspeople can't just sit around waiting for the next big event – they have column inches, newsfeeds and airtime to fill. But they can't just go around making things up either. This is why the newsworthiness criteria are so important. Anything can be news as long as it is relevant to the right people, infrequent, is of human interest, contains conflict or controversy, or has the potential for continuity.
Form a small group of 3 or 4 people. Imagine you are the editing team working for an IB newspaper. The next issue is being released on Monday. Design the front page of your newspaper: what stories and events have recently happened in the school, year group or IB cohort that the community will want to read about? Which stories should you 'lead' with and which would you relegate to second or third place – or cut entirely? Present your design to your classmates and explain what newsworthy criteria you used to edit the news.
Areas of Exploration Guiding Conceptual Question
Why do some texts follow the 'rules' of their text type or genre while other texts change form publication to publication or from story to story? How have some genres evolved over time? Learning to recognise the generic conventions of texts will help you understand how – and why – some writers break the rules. Near the end of this resource, you'll learn why newspaper front pages contain conventional features from which they hardly ever deviate. Learning these features and being able to explain the effects they create will help you with your Paper 1 analyses as well:
How do texts adhere to and deviate from conventions associated with genre or text type?
Learner Portfolio
What stories thrust themselves into your view when you visit the home page of an online news vendor, compared with the stories you have to scroll/click through to find? Which stories are more vividly illustrated? How does a news writer use language to sensationalise or dramatise events that might not be considered 'newsworthy'?
Write up your understanding of newsworthiness, including some well-chosen examples from the news you have studied in class, in a one-two page learner portfolio entry.
Paper 1 Text Type Focus: newspaper front pages
At the end of your course you will be asked to analyze unseen texts (1 at Standard Level and 2 at Higher Level) in an examination. You will be given a guiding question that will focus your attention on formal or stylistic elements of the text(s), and help you decode the text(s)' purpose(s). Newspaper front pages, whether broadsheet or tabloid, have clear conventions that you can learn and analyze. Use these practice texts to familiarise yourself with the different features of newspaper front pages and add them to your Learner Portfolio; you will want to revise text types thoroughly before your Paper 1 exam. You can find more information – including text type features and sample Paper 1 analysis – by visiting 20/20. Read through one or two of the exemplars, then choose a new paper and have a go at writing your own Paper 1 analysis response:
key features of newspaper front pages
Masthead: a strip across the top of a newspaper front page containing the name of the newspaper, the date of publication and the price. Tabloid papers from the UK are called 'red-tops' because of the red colour of the masthead.
Newsworthiness: the front page carries the main and most important story of the day, likely to appeal to the widest demographic.
Headline: the choice of words in a headline is essential to the tone and angle of the story. There are many techniques involved in creating headlines and you should definitely learn: slammer; pun; alliteration; elliptical headlines (which only include the keywords).
Typography: large and bold fonts are used for headlines in order to catch the attention of someone browsing a news-stand.
Visuals: all newspapers make use of photographs to accompany stories. Tabloid papers are dominated by images while broadsheet papers tend to use smaller photographs. Look out for pictures of people's faces, which reveal emotion and create bias.
Ears: smaller columns or boxes at the top left and top right of the page, previewing other stories inside the paper.
Body of Work: The Post (directed by Steven Spielberg)
The Post is a 2018 film set in 1971, as the truth about the US government's prosecution of the war in Vietnam was leaked in a seven-thousand page document called the Pentagon Papers. The courts ruled that the New York Times couldn't publish the documents or what they learned from them – but the Washington Post found themselves involved as well. Katharine Graham, owner of the newspaper after her husband's death, will have to make the decision of whether to risk the institution by publishing the classified papers that call into question the responsibility of the USA in the bloody conflict. If they run the story, not only could they go out of business, they could be arrested and tried for treason.
As well as being a dramatic thriller based on true events, The Post reveals pressing issues that face journalists and editors in the past and today: The Washington Post editor Ben Bradlee (Tom Hanks) is seeking the best story, one that will make them nationally relevant. As the editor of a family-owned local newspaper in the 1970s, Bradlee is committed to the truth and to the universal values that underpin the news. Meryl Streep plays Katherine Graham who, as the owner of the Post, is trying to find her footing in a male-dominated world. The film depicts the disappointment and envy of being beaten to an exclusive, the determination to chase the follow-up story, and the pull-no-punches attitude of those who work to relentless deadlines. As reporter Ben Bagdikian says, it's all about getting the scoop.
Towards Assessment: Individual Oral
"Supported by an extract from one non-literary text and one from a literary work, students will offer a prepared response of 10 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of questions by the teacher, to the following prompt: Examine the ways in which the global issue of your choice is presented through the content and form of two of the texts that you have studied. (40 marks)"
Please find suggestions here; but always be mindful of your own ideas and class discussions and follow the direction of your own programme of study when devising your assessment tasks.
A scene from The Post would make a good choice text to bring into this assessed activity. The named author would be 'Steven Spielberg' who directed the movie. You could work within the field of inquiry of Beliefs, Values and Education and a pertinent Global Issue might be 'the reporting of truth'. This Body of Work can be paired with any literary text that explores the theme of truth, or is committed to exposing the truth about a place, culture, person, tradition or institution. Speak to your teacher about possible choices, or use this list to give you some ideas of likely pairings:
The World's Wife by Carol Ann Duffy – in this collection of poetry, Duffy rewrites history, mythology and literature to give voice to those who were excluded first time around. Her work asks us to consider the importance of voice in the reporting of events, and what consequences this has for the 'truths' we learn about the world.
Selected poems by John Keats – at the end of Ode on a Grecian Urn, Keats writes 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty – that is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know.' Explaining your ideas about Keats' works in relation to the theme of truth would make a strong choice to pair with The Post.
Broken April by Ismail Kadare – after writing this novel, Kadare lived in exile from his home country Albania. Is that because he exposed the truth about the Kanun, a customary code as powerful as any law, which forced young men into a cycle of violence that persists to this day in the high mountainous regions of the country?
The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter – the Marquis is a powerful and influential figure; wealthy, respected and aristocratic. But through this short story, Carter reveals that the power men like the Marquis exert over others is built on very shaky foundations indeed.
Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw – at the time of writing, people held very strong views about the 'undeserving poor.' Doolittle discredits those views in Act 2, and the play as a whole reveals the hypocrisy of the middle and upper classes who held others to a dishonest standard of morality. As Higgins says, if everybody went around saying what they really thought, 'it would break up the whole show.'
The Merchant of Venice by William Shakespeare – known as a 'problem play' because of the depiction of the Jewish characters, you might disagree that Shakespeare's play is inherently racist. Rather, you might argue that it holds a mirror up to society at the time, revealing the double standards of the Christian characters. Looking closely at Salario and Salarino's 'reporting' of Jessica's running away in Act 3 Scene 3 might be a good scene to focus on. Another way into this text might be through Portia and the caskets; engraved upon which is the famous legend, 'All that glisters is not gold.'
The Vegtarian by Han Kang – this novel tells Yeong-hye's story, through the eyes of three members of her family. But how reliable are these narrators? Do you think their account of events reveals the 'truth' about Yeong-hye's actions and situation?
Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet – in this scathing play, characters rarely say what they mean and 'truth' is a slippery concept.
The Visit by Friedrich Durrenmatt – in Act 3 of this tragicomic play, a group of reporters visit Guellen to report on the town's sudden upturn in fortunes. How do they interact with the people of the town? Do they ever get to the 'truth' of the story? Are they even bothered about reporting the truth? This could be a perfect pair with The Post if you want to discuss a Global Issue like this.
Wider Reading and Research
The Newsroom by Aaron Sorkin – starring Jeff Daniels and Emily Mortimer, this show from 2012 chronicles the behind-the-scenes events at a fictional cable news channel with an anchor (Daniels), who, together with his staff, set out to put on a news show in the face of corporate and commercial obstacles and their own personal entanglements (caution: strong language)
The News: Gates, Agendas and Values – this textbook extract may be tough, but it fully explains concepts such as gatekeeping, agenda-setting and ideology in the news.
How journalism became one of the most dangerous jobs in the world – in this powerful Tedtalk, former correspondent and political prisoner Peter Greste describes increasing violence and antagonism towards journalists and offers a passionate argument for press freedom everywhere.
Think Like a Journalist – in this amusing-but-serious Tedtalk, reporter Kelsey Samuels discusses how journalists tell what news is real and what is fake – and the importance of getting her reporting right.

Селивановский район Ростовской области — административно-территориальная единица в составе Ростовской области РСФСР, существовавшая в 1934—1956 годах. Административный центр — станица Селивановская.

История
В 1934—1937 годах район входил в Северо-Донской округ в составе Азово-Черноморского края.

13 сентября 1937 года Селивановский район (с центром в станице Селивановская) вошёл в состав Ростовской области.

Указом Президиума Верховного Совета СССР от 6 января 1954 года из Ростовской области была выделена Каменская область (с центром в г. Каменск-Шахтинский). Территория Селивановского района вошла в состав Каменской области.

2 ноября 1956 года Селивановский район был упразднён. Его территория при этом была разделена между Киевским и Милютинским районами.

There's an application for every mower and each machine has its advantages and disadvantages. Before purchasing any mower, or for that matter any large piece of equipment, it is incumbent upon the buyer to demonstrate it, ensure that it operates well, and determine that it fits the application.
Oftentimes, though, a mower's true benefits are best revealed in real life, while mowing several accounts over time. It's then that things like maneuverability, compact design, balance, ease of maintenance and so forth come to the surface. That holds true for their mowing decks, too.
As an out front mower manufacturer, Walker Manufacturing is more than a little biased about the value of owning and operating a mower equipped with an out front deck. But don't take our word for it. It's best to talk with landscape contractors who have been using them for several years.
Sposato Landscape & Irrigation in Milton, DE, has been using Walker Mowers since 1995. The company's satisfaction with the machine and its out front deck is evidenced by the fact that it currently operates 73 of them on a variety of properties, everything from HOAs and high-end residential accounts to several 55-and-older communities.
Here are four advantages that stand out for company president Tony Sposato and account manager Jason Powell, who has been with Sposato Landscape & Irrigation for 11 years.
Three of the four above advantages (reduced trimming time, visibility and accessibility) help define productivity, something that's important to the bottom line for any size company. Decks that deliver a superior cut also deliver repeat business, which also adds to the bottom line.
Sposato's company rotates engines every 3,000 hours and completely overhauls mowers every winter. In between, crews are vigilant about routine maintenance, something that keeps mower and deck where they belong: in the field.
All mowers with out front decks share many of the same attributes. But only Walker Mower decks will deliver the manicured, finished look that your customers have come to appreciate. Here's how they do it.
1. True floating design. This allows the deck to follow the contours of the lawn. With Walker Mowers, only a fraction of the tractor's weight is carried by the deck wheels compared to the competition. Working in combination with a flexible carrier frame, the reduced weight allows the deck to easily float from both side to side and front to back.
2. Exceptional reach. The Walker Mower deck delivers a 15 to 35 percent reach advantage over competitive out front models. This allows the operator to trim close, even under and around hard to reach areas such as low-hanging branches and fences.
3. Light and durable. Deck engineering and design favors structural integrity over excess metal and weight. This enhances the deck's overall performance, one that leaves a gentle footprint by effortlessly floating over the lawn's surface.

Gene > 2003 > 318 > Complete > 91-102
Many malaria control programmes are based on insecticide application as adulticides, often in the form of pyrethroid-impregnated bed nets. However, the efficacy of this control measure can be reduced by genetic changes in vector insecticide susceptibility. Pyrethroid resistance has been detected in the major African malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae, and has been attributed to a combination of target...

Karin E. Finberg, Carsten A. Wagner, Paul A. Stehberger, John P. Geibel, more
The multisubunit vacuolar-type proton-translocating ATPases (H + -ATPases) mediate the acidification of various intracellular organelles. In a subset of tissues, they also mediate H + secretion at the plasma membrane. Two isoforms of the H + -ATPase B-subunit exist in humans; we have shown that mutations in ATP6V1B1, encoding the B1-isoform, cause the clinical condition distal...

Characterization of PTM5 in aspen trees: a MADS-box gene expressed during woody vascular development
Leland J. Cseke, Jun Zheng, Gopi K. Podila
The vascular component of trees possesses some of the most specialized processes active in the formation of roots, stems, and branches, and its wood component continues to be of primary importance to our daily lives. The molecular mechanisms of wood development, however, remain poorly understood with few well-characterized regulatory genes. We have identified a vascular tissue-specific MADS-box gene,...
Alternative ways to think about mRNA sequences and proteins that appear to promote internal initiation of translation
Marilyn Kozak
Gene > 2003 > 318 > Complete > 1-23
Translation of some mRNAs is postulated to occur via an internal initiation mechanism which is said to be augmented by a variety of RNA-binding proteins. A pervasive problem is that the RNA sequences to which the proteins bind were not rigorously proven to function as internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs). Critical examination of the evidence reveals flaws that leave room for alternative interpretations,...

Aimin Ji, Diem Dao, Jiexiao Chen, W. Robb MacLellan
Skeletal muscle differentiation has been shown to be dependent on the expression of Rb and p300. We recently cloned a novel inhibitor of muscle differentiation called EID-1, which interacted with both of these factors. In a database search for related molecules, we have cloned and characterized a new EID-1 family member, EID-2. This 28-kDa protein encodes a 236-amino-acid protein with significant...
Rampant horizontal gene transfer and phospho-donor change in the evolution of the phosphofructokinase
Eric Bapteste, David Moreira, Hervé Philippe
Previous work on the evolution of the phosphofructokinase (PFK) has shown that this key regulatory enzyme of glycolysis has undergone an intricate evolutionary history. Here, we have used a comprehensive data set to address the taxonomic distribution of the different types of PFK (ATP-dependent and PPi-dependent ones) and to estimate the frequency of horizontal gene transfer (HGT) events. Numerous...

Katheleen Gardiner, Andrew Fortna, Lawrence Bechtel, Muriel T. Davisson
With an incidence of approximately 1 in 700 live births, Down syndrome (DS) remains the most common genetic cause of mental retardation. The phenotype is assumed to be due to overexpression of some number of the >300 genes encoded by human chromosome 21. Mouse models, in particular the chromosome 16 segmental trisomies, Ts65Dn and Ts1Cje, are indispensable for DS-related studies of gene-phenotype...

Everything Elon Musk Has Said About Dogecoin
By Nicole Fallert On 4/16/21 at 12:50 PM EDT
News Elon Musk Twitter Cryptocurrency
The cryptocurrency Dogecoin hit a record high of $0.298 Friday morning amid Tesla CEO Elon Musk's boosting of the virtual currency on social media.
Just after midnight on April 15, Musk posted a tweet that reads, "Doge Barking at the moon." He included a photo in the tweet of a painting by Spanish artist Joan Miró titled "Dog Barking at the Moon."

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) April 15, 2021
Musk, who has over 51 million Twitter followers, has actively tweeted for months about the virtual currency Dogecoin, and his meme-like content has caused spikes in the value of the Bitcoin alternative's shares.

In his tweets, Musk has signaled that he's always anticipated the arrival of Dogecoin as a top global cryptocurrency.
"It's inevitable," Musk said in a July 17, 2020, post with an image of a dust storm, with a Shiba Inu face, as the "dogecoin standard" blowing over the "global financial system." A Shiba Inu's face is featured on Dogecoin's logo. CNN reported that the Bitcoin competitor's shares went up 14 percent at the time.

On December 20, the billionaire tweeted "One word: Doge," driving Dogecoin shares up almost 20 percent and making the term a trending topic on Twitter, CNN reported. Musk went on to include "Former CEO of Dogecoin" in his Twitter bio, but this has since been removed.
The tech leader's viral attention on Dogecoin continued on February 4, when he posted a series of tweets over the course of the night and pushed Dogecoin's value up by more than 50 percent, according to data from CoinDesk cited by CNN.
"Doge," Musk said in the first tweet, accompanied by a photo of a rocket streaming toward the moon.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 4, 2021
The following post reads "ur welcome" and includes a doctored screen grab from the animated film The Lion King featuring a photo of Musk's face pasted on the body of the character Rafiki and a Shiba Inu pasted on the face of baby lion Simba. Musk appears in the image to be lifting Dogecoin to greatness, and the tech CEO isn't necessarily wrong. His posts about the cryptocurrency have turned Dogecoin from a joke into a viable player in the cryptocurrency industry.
According to CoinDesk, Jackson Palmer and Billy Markus started Dogecoin in 2013 to "satirize" Bitcoin by turning the viral "doge" meme into a cryptocurrency. But the cryptocurrency has a large supply, CoinDesk said, and because there is no "cap to the supply of coins...the coin can inflate infinitely."
Dogecoin is now a top 10 digital currency with a total market value of $34 billion, according to data from CoinGecko reported by CBNC. Friday's value of over 28 cents was more than double the price from a day ago, and Dogecoin has risen by 300 percent in value in the past seven days, according to CNBC.
"Just as bitcoin is the consensus pick for people looking for 'predictable moneyness' in their currency, dogecoin is looking like the consensus pick for people who want 'meme-y wackiness' in their currency," Adam Levine, managing director of podcasts and audio at Coindesk, wrote in an op-ed on Friday provided to Newsweek.
Levine added: "Doge has become the joke currency to beat. Everybody wants to be in on the joke, which pushes up the price, which makes the joke even bigger. It's a self reinforcing cycle. Sort of like bitcoin but for the luls."
ur welcome pic.twitter.com/e2KF57KLxb
Levine wrote that celebrities like Musk are among those who are in on the joke, pushing up the price and making the "cycle" ever-more potent.
"Dogecoin is the people's crypto," Musk said in another tweet in February, followed by "No highs, no lows, only Doge." He also posted a Twitter poll for "the future currency of Earth" comparing "Dogecoin to the Moooonn" and "All other crypto combined." Over 2.4 million people participated in the poll, which overwhelmingly selected Dogecoin as the planet's future form of currency.
The future currency of Earth
On April 1, April Fools' Day, Musk wrote: "SpaceX is going to put a literal Dogecoin on the literal moon."
Within four hours, the tweet had gained about 200,000 likes and 22,500 retweets. Dogecoin surged from $0.05 at 6:15 a.m. that day, and by 6:45 a.m. it had risen to $0.069—an increase of 38 percent.
Given that virtual currencies aren't tangible or "literal," the tweet raised skepticism about whether Musk was serious. In March, Markus told Newsweek: "I think it would be really cool if he does literally send Dogecoin to the moon on one of his rockets."
But as with any cryptocurrency, Dogecoin is definitively subject to swinging highs and lows in price. And in addition to Musk's tweets, it's likely that the most recent surge in price is due to the popular virtual currency Coinbase going public on Wednesday, creating an industrywide boon for cryptocurrencies.
"One of the things that's interesting about Doge is that whenever there's kind of excitement around cryptocurrency, people who don't really know a lot about cryptocurrencies get pulled into the Doge ecosystem," Levine said to Business Insider. "And that's partly because it's cute, and it's not intimidating. It's partly because the tokens are very cheap."
Dogecoin Could Hit $1, According to Creator Billy Markus
Coinbase CEO Told Platform "Bad Idea" in 2012. It's Now Worth $60bn
Dogecoin No Joke as Cryptocurrency Hits Record High
Dogecoin Price Surge Sparks Wave of Memes as Investors Celebrate Spike
Levine added in his op-ed that Dogecoin is an oddity among cryptocurrencies in that it has "exceptional approachability and appeal to new users while lacking most of the characteristics that make cryptocurrencies useful or valuable."
This value or use is typically designed around predictability and liquidity; users like that virtual currencies are immune from broader government policies, and that supplies are plentiful when they want to buy or sell. Even though Palmer and Markus have since moved on from their joke project, fans have not, according to Levine. There were concerns about whether the virtual currency would survive without enough power behind it, but the this week's record-high has proven that Dogecoin is a viable contender that fields its own value from a fast-acting fan base.
"Now, this could all end very badly: Lots of people buying DOGE at these prices don't know the true story,' Levine wrote. "As they say, easy come, easy go. But at least for now it sure looks like Dogecoin is the gold standard of joke currencies, and just maybe that's enough."
Musk has not yet posted about Dogecoin's all-time high as of Friday morning.
Updated 4/16/2021, 3:25 p.m. ET: This story has been updated to include comment from Levine.
Correction (4/16/2021, 6:30 p.m.): An original version of this story spelled Adam Levine's last name incorrectly.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Dodgers are going to be without their red-headed slugger on opening day, and possibly for a while after.
Justin Turner has a broken left wrist after being hit by a pitch during Los Angeles" 3-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night.
General manager Farhan Zaidi said the team didn"t know yet how long Turner would be out, but it should be a matter of at least a few weeks. Turner says he"ll visit the doctor again Tuesday to hopefully learn more.
Los Angeles seems likely to slide Logan Forsythe to third base in Turner"s absence, with Chase Utley or someone else assuming regular duty at second base.


Shipping accounts for 80 percent of world trade, and an estimated 60 percent to 90 percent of marine bio-invasions. In some cases, ships transport living organisms through ballast water, which is taken up to stabilize the vessel. In others, species hitch a ride to new environments by attaching to the hulls of ships.
For more information, check out ECO's interview with Kim Lundgreen, University of Southern Denmark, as he reveals the extent of this international problem as well as the steps being taken to reduce the spread and restore the balance in favor of native communities.

Super Moto meets Harley-Davidson, each project in the Shaw Speed & Custom shop takes its inspiration from a number of different two wheel styles: Cafe Racer, Motocross, Street and Sports to name a few.
The XR1200SM is one derived from the World of Super Moto. The customer wanted a bike for every day use but that still had the fun factor for the weekends.
The project took shape with changes that included PM Race wheels, customised front mudguard, renthal bars with a minimalist speedo built into crossbar pad. The modified tail section with small LED stop/tail and indicator lights creates a clean back end to the bike. The bike truly fits its rider.

        String query = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS quantity FROM Customers;";
        int quantity = -1;

        connection = getConnection();
        statement = connection.createStatement();

        ResultSet resultSet = statement.executeQuery(query);

        if (resultSet.next()) {
            String temp = resultSet.getString("quantity"); // "quantity" - псевдоним из запроса
            quantity = Integer.parseInt(temp);

        }
        statement.close();
        connection.close();

        return quantity;
    }
