I have just taken a good long hard look at this piece by Harpoart prior to writing about it and the thing that screamed out at me was how much this looks like a stained-glass window study. It turns out on doing a little research on the Interweb that he is not only a street artist, but is also a stained glass maker.
Harpoart has created this stunning owl, at least I think it is an owl, on an approach, set on a wonderfully textured blue background. There is a lovely sense of movement about the piece.
I'm not sure that I have seen any of this Brighton artist's work before, I don't think so, but perhaps I should make a mental note to make a trip to Brighton some day.

The software development process from conception of the idea to writing of code and finally deploying the finished product can be quite tedious at times. You need to handle a variety of things beyond just writing the code. But what if you could take some of this work off your shoulders? Well, this is where Github Actions come in.
A new feature recently introduced into Github, Github Actions allow you to automate your workflow by letting Github take care of a number of processes which can be triggered by a variety of events on the platform, be it pushing code, making a release or creating issues among others.
This is done through actions that can be defined in your repository, any public Github repository or any published Docker image.
Note: GitHub Actions is currently in beta and you'll need to sign up to get access.
Once you're in, you have access to workflows and actions to start making your GitHub Actions.
Github Actions work by using configured workflows which contain actions and their relationships to each other.
These workflows define how the actions are run as well as the order of execution.
When creating a workflow, start with a main.workflow file, you will have it under the .github/ directory of your repository.
You can also create a workflow using the GitHub provided GUI by clicking on the Actions tab and clicking on the create a new workflow button. This will open a visual editor where you can define the settings of your workflow.
Click on edit to open up a configurations tab where you can define the name of the workflow's name as well as the events that trigger it.
The triggers are defined on the Run drop-down.
Once you're done configuring these simply click Done and your workflow is ready to go. The next step is to add Actions to your workflow. But first, let's look at how actions work.
The action is where we define what commands will be run. They may be stored in a docker image which can be accessed by the uses attribute. We can also tell it to run a specific command in the Docker image using the runs attribute, if this isn't provided it will execute the Dockerfile ENTRYPOINT instruction. If we wish to have an action to execute after another, we provide a needs attribute as shown in the workflow example above.
The action is also where we can provide any environment variables under the env attribute. Any secret variables such as tokens are provided under the secrets attribute, these must be set in a visual workflow editor such as the one provided by Github or in the repository's "Settings" tab. We can also pass arguments to the actions using the args attribute, these attributes may be in form of a space-separated string or a comma-separated array.
When defining an action, it is advisable to specify the version of the action by providing a SHA or Docker tag number. This prevents your workflow from breaking in case the owner publishes an update that may affect your workflow.
Configuring Actions with the visual editor is even easier, all you have to do is drag the blue dot at the bottom of your workflow and drag it straight down to connect to the box underneath.
Add the name of the action under Choose Action and click Use. You can add the other configuration options as shown below and click Done once you're finished.
Repeat these steps if you wish to add more actions to your workflow and link them as you wish.
When you've finished editing your workflow, in the upper-right corner, click Start commit.
Type your commit message, choose a commit email address, and choose a commit branch, then click Propose new file .
Committing a workflow enables it for your branch. To enable the workflow for the entire project, create a Pull Request to master and merge it. You will be able to see your workflows run under the Checks tab of your Pull Request before merging to ensure it runs successfully.
That's it, you're good to go with your first workflow.
To find more on how to configure your workflow, as well as which Github webhook events supported by Github Actions, check out the instructions from Github here.
Each workflow can run for a maximum of 58 minutes including queuing and execution.
A task performed within an action cannot trigger other actions.
Github Actions is a feature that is definitely worth getting excited about. It will simplify the development workflow by handling a number of steps. It also leaves you a lot of options, if you don't wish to go through the trouble of coding all your configurations then Github provides a GUI where you can define your workflows. This option is also extremely easy to use. However, if you wish to go in the code direction, you can configure your actions in any language as there are numerous open source libraries available on GitHub.
Github Actions is currently in Beta and you can sign up here to try it out and get familiar with it as we await the official release of this amazing new feature.


On June 10, 2014, President Obama signed into law the new Water Resources and Reform Development Act of 2014 ("WRRDA"). The Act's primary purpose is to improve America's water infrastructure through the funding of construction programs and projects. Introduced in 2012 by Senators Barbara Boxer (D) and David Vitter (R), the bill garnered unusual bi-partisan support. The WRRDA is also noteworthy because of something the Act is missing. No earmarks. As noted by Speaker John Boehner (R), "this is quite a departure for a bill whose claim to fame -or infamy, as it were – was being saturated with earmarks. Hundreds of them." Of significant importance, the WRRDA provides an avenue for the use and acceleration of private investment.
The WRRDA establishes the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Authority ("WIFIA"), which will oversee a program to provide financial assistance for wastewater, drinking water and other water related projects. As part of the WIFIA program, Congress has allocated millions of dollars in federal funds. Some of which will be used to provide low interest loans, guarantees and subsidies to governmental entities for water infrastructure revitalization projects such as wastewater treatment facilities and flood risk mitigation programs.
The Louisville and Jefferson County Metropolitan Sewer District ("MSD") needs 150 million dollars to fully fund modifications to a wastewater treatment facility and its related system. WIFIA provides MSD with a 77 million dollar very low interest loan with beneficial terms. As a WIFIA borrower, MSD would be precluded from procuring the balance of 73 million dollars needed from tax-exempt financing. Instead, the MSD must reach out to the private community to secure the funds to make up any shortfall for project costs.
Will WIFIA actually work to encourage private investment and job growth? One indication that it might are the endorsements of the program by trade organizations like the American Soybean Association and the Associated General Contractors of America. However, there are voiced concerns proffered by government entities and related organizations like the Association of Metropolitan Water Agencies and the National League of Cities to repeal portions of the WRRDA, specifically the loan prohibition on tax exempt financing. Ultimately, only time will tell if the WRRDA innovative approach will succeed.

The Bronson, FL attorneys at Whittel & Melton, LLC are ready to represent your family if you have suddenly lost a loved one due to negligence. In Florida, a lawsuit can be brought in Florida court when a death is caused by the misconduct of another person, persons or company/business. This is called a "wrongful death".
The negligent act can be any kind of a reckless conduct. The conduct could be the product of one person or even a corporate entity such as a hotel, hospital, car company or drug company. According to Florida law, "survivors" of the deceased party are entitled to receive monetary compensation for a wrongful death. This is very similar to someone being compensated for an injury caused by simple negligence. In fact, the major difference in these types of cases is the damages analysis, as obviously the devastating product of a death are quite different then that of a car accident which causes a back injury.
The personal representative of the estate is the usual Florida plaintiff in a wrongful death action. In Florida, children over the age of eighteen are able to receive Florida Wrongful death money damages under certain circumstances.
The Florida Wrongful Death Lawyers at Whittel & Melton, LLC understand and agree that no amount of monetary award can take the place of a loved one. However, our wrongful death attorneys and legal team will help you understand your rights, give you guidance during this difficult time and file a wrongful death lawsuit ion your and your families behalf.

It is important to appreciate the enormous diversity in the presentation and prognosis of sport-related concussions (SRC) in athletes. Duration of recovery is highly variable and partly attributable to injury severity, but a comprehensive evaluation must also include age and sex. Research on the interaction of these variables among youth athletes is limited. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of age and sex on the presentation of SRC symptoms in student-athletes undergoing prolonged recovery. METHODS: A sample of athletes from middle school to college (n=76) were evaluated for persistent symptoms of SRC. Cognitive function was measured using the ImPACT test; behavior and attitudes were collected via the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC) questionnaire. Independent-samples t tests, chi-squared tests, and multivariate analyses with a Bonferroni correction measured differences between sexes and scholastic grades on cognitive, behavioral, and functional assessments. RESULTS: Subjects were 16.2 ± 2.3 years of age; 56.6% of patients were male. Men and women expressed no differences in age (p=0.780), number of previous concussions (p=0.231), or duration of current symptoms (p=0.445). Men tested higher in verbal memory (p=0.036), visual motor speed (p=0.003), and cognitive efficiency (reaction time and accuracy; p=0.007). Women reported better attitudes toward school (p=0.005) and teachers (p=0.043). College athletes sustained more previous concussions (2.6) than middle school (1.0) and high school (1.0) athletes (p=0.016), but high school athletes expressed a trend for more co-occurring diagnoses (1.4) than middle school (0.9) and college (0.6) athletes (p=0.057). The difference between high school and college was significant (p=0.029). Regarding performance, there was a difference between grade levels in the cognitive efficiency index with middle school athletes scoring significantly lower than high school and college athletes (p=0.022). CONCLUSIONS: When youth athletes experience SRC, the sex and age of the athlete is associated with important differences in attitudes, memory, and functional capacities. Proper evaluation of a concussed athlete must consider the role that age and sex play on the diagnosis of injury severity and the expectations of recovery.

An Illinois court awarded $2.5 million in a lawsuit against a truck driver who admittedly (1) crossed the median strip and hit the Plaintiff and (2) had been driving for 19 hours that day.
Obviously, and the result underscores this point, this is a tough case to defend on liability. If you are Defendants' truck accident lawyer, what kind of defense do you muster in a case like this? Oh, they always have something it seems. In this case, they went for the "everything and the kitchen sink" defense.
First, they claimed his vision was impaired due to diabetes. This is a lot better defense in a passenger car case than it is in a truck accident case. If you are a truck driver driving a big rig truck, we expect you to have your diabetes under control or don't get behind the wheel of the dangerous weapon that is a truck. Second, and even more improbable, the defendants' truck accident lawyer also argued that the accident occurred because the truck driver's tire exploded.
We don't know the facts of the case. Certainly, it is undeniable that there are circumstances where a condition like diabetes can cause an accident that is not the fault of the driver. Certainly, if you have a heart attack while you are driving, no one can blame you for that. But the problem with the "kitchen sink" defense is that it diminishes credibility for all defenses. Okay, so diabetes and exploding tires caused the truck accident. Anything else? It has a "you don't believe this one, let's try that one" quality to it.
This bleeds into damages. Every argument Defendants' lawyer makes gets viewed through the "this lawyer would say anything" prism. I'm sure there was some debate over the extent and scope of the injuries. Again, we don't know the facts but I would not be surprised if those debates were resolved in favor of the Plaintiff because the Defendants' lawyer had lost all credibility.
I'm not saying I have never taken a position in the alternative with a jury that diminished my credibility. Sometimes lawyers do this because they have no alternative: the claim or defense is just not good and, for whatever reason, the case did not settle for the true value. But if you have a decent case or valid defenses to a case, you are better served by playing it more conservatively.
For personal injury lawyers, a perfect example of this is a multiple injury case with varying degrees of linkage to the accident. Let's say you have a shoulder surgery from a rotator cuff injury that is clearly related to the accident and a knee injury that is more of a complicated "maybe it was exacerbated, maybe it was not" type thing. As a lawyer, you have to make a call as to whether you go for damages on the knee. Because if you do, you might compromise your credibility with the jury on the shoulder.
Every case is different. But I think juries are almost invariably smarter than lawyers think they are and a trial is not a long term relationship. When counsel loses credibility with a jury, it is hard, maybe impossible, to get it back.
It is worth pointing out again: I'm assuming the facts of this case and using them to illustrate a point that I want to make. It could be both the diabetes defense and the tires blew up defense were both legitimate and the real damages in the case were over $5 million and the truck accident defense lawyer's strategy actually worked. But I, and every one else reading this post, suspects otherwise.


There various types of pests available all around the world. They are harmful to health and cause many health diseases.There are different types of pests such as a spider, cockroach, caterpillar, wasp, termite, rats, flies, and so on. These pests create many problems in the Perth.Perth is a large community area in Australia. The Termites Treatment Henley Brook provides high-quality pest control services in all areas of Perth. They live everywhere, such as residential, homes, external environment and commercial area. Some pests are very dangerous and harmful to the human health. Many pests are direct attacks on the food areas such as kitchens. In the kitchen you store foods and they spread bacteria around the food and droppings urine. The termite is also a small insect that can destroy the wood material and furniture. They live in dark places and humid environment.
An empty sound of wood: Termites are live on the inside of wood and silently eating the wood. If you tapped the wood, then produced an empty sound. It means the termite destroyed the wood and furniture inside.
Group of termite wings: Some type of termites is swarm termites and they fall wings in anywhere in the home or outside the home. If you see the group of wings in your home, it means termites are available in your home.
Destroy wood surface paint: Termites have destroyed the wood surface paint and damage the wood material. Termite mostly like the dark place for living such as inside the wood.
At that time people were sad or frustrated and they use several home remedies to remove the termites. Their some home remedies for eliminating the termites from homes such as using a vinegar spray, garlic powder, Neem oil, ginger powder and turmeric powder. In the market, different types of product are available, which contains the high-quality chemical element and it is harmful to the human health. With the help of those products, you cannot remove termites permanently. Then you can take a help from Termites Pest Control Henley Brook to remove termites at very low cost. The termite control team provides the best customer support at any time. You can contact them any time ,if you suffer from termite infestation.


New for 2016 – to see the older version with additional lesson details, please visit my post from last year.
This year, I wanted to try something different for this lesson. Instead of seeing how close each group came to the original phrase that was on the "tablet", I wanted each group to analyze the findings from the other groups to compare their findings and look for similarities and differences. This would be similar to a gallery walk (see video below) but without students explaining their posters, they would view posters at their own pace and choose any 3 posters to compare for each category.
I did this yesterday with my 6th graders and it was fun to watch how different groups went about this activity and I loved seeing the different messages that they created! I love this blog and am so grateful as I am new to teaching 6th grade Science!

THE EARLY cost of the roll-out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme has blown out by almost 30% for every package, the Abbott Government says.
Assistant Social Services Minister Mitch Fifield announced the blow-out in costs at a National Press Club address on Wednesday.
He said despite forecasts of delivering the scheme to more than 2200 people in launch sites around the country, the roll-out had only reached 921 people so far.
On top of the short fall in provided packages, Mr Fifield also said the uptake of the scheme was likely to further outstrip supply, with more than 3200 people already registered for interest in the launch sites.
"In addition, plan costs are exceeding modelled average costs by around 30 per cent," he said.
"What this means in dollar terms is that instead of coming out at the expected average package cost of $34,969, as based on the work of the Productivity Commission, they are currently costing $46,290 for the first quarter.
"To summarise, completing plans is taking longer than anticipated. Demand, so far, is greater than expected and package costs are higher."
He said while the numbers were only an early indication of the cost of the launch sites, he wanted to ensure the public knew "about the state of play".

By studying human brains from before birth through adulthood, researchers have identified a gene that increases its activity during normal brain development but that may fail to ramp up in people with schizophrenia. The faulty activity of this gene, called GAD1, may be to blame for at least some cases of schizophrenia, the scientists say.
In recent years, many researchers have begun to focus less on genes and more on other factors, called epigenetic factors, that affect gene activity without altering the DNA sequence itself. Epigenetic factors can turn genes on or off, affecting how much protein is made from a gene. Several human disorders, including cancer and psychiatric diseases, are known to be influenced by epigenetics.
In a new study published in the October 17, 2007, issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, Dr. Schahram Akbarian of the University of Massachusetts Medical School and his colleagues focused on the prefrontal cortex, a brain region known to malfunction in schizophrenia. This area is normally involved in higher functions like thinking and decision-making. The work was funded by NIH's National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
The scientists looked first at postmortem brain tissue samples collected from prenatal and newborn infants, children and adults of varying ages. They found that, during prefrontal cortex development, the activity of the GAD1 gene increased steadily from before birth through puberty. GAD1 codes for an enzyme needed to produce the molecule GABA, a major neurotransmitter in the brain. Abnormal GABA production and brain development are known to play key roles in schizophrenia.
In healthy adult brains, the activity of GAD1 eventually leveled off or dropped slightly into older ages. In contrast, GAD1 activity appeared to be significantly reduced in brain samples from women with schizophrenia.
The control of GAD1 activity, the researchers found, lay in a part of the gene called its promoter. The promoter was being modified with a small chemical called a methyl group. Similar modifications were seen in other genes involved in GABA production.
The scientists found that the methylation was controlled by another enzyme called MLL1. When the researchers gave an antipsychotic medication to mice, it altered MLL1 activity and corrected the epigenetic flaw. This result raises the possibility of developing new medications to correct epigenetic defects.
"We've known that schizophrenia is a developmental disease, and that something happens in the maturation of the prefrontal cortex during this vulnerable period of life. Now we're beginning to find out what it is, and that sets the stage for better ways of preventing and treating it," says Akbarian.


MLS Rivalry Week's California Clasico showcase: Can the Earthquakes shake the Galaxy's home dominance and win away for the first time in 2016?
There's debate whether the Seattle Sounders might be the Galaxy's No. 1 rival, but the Earthquakes are right there, always have been and were the real derby foe even when Chivas USA was around. There have been so many big games, huge battles, big comebacks, and animosity -- both on the field and in the stands -- that the California Clasico stands as MLS' oldest real rivalry.
Some of that is cultural -- the SoCal-NorCal rivalry covers virtually everything -- but these teams aren't fond of each other, although there's a healthy dollop of respect present. LA has been the better side historically, with a 39-24-13 record across all competitions, and the Galaxy been dominant down south, at 24-6-5. San Jose hasn't beaten the Galaxy at StubHub since their Supporters' Shield-winning side opened the 2012 playoffs with a 1-0 victory, only to fall, 3-1, in the home leg. LA is 3-0-2 at home since.
The Galaxy won the first meeting this year, a 3-1 triumph at StubHub on March 19, which started them on their current, MLS season-best eight-game unbeaten streak. Gyasi Zardes scored goals six minutes apart early in the the half after Earthquakes DP Simon Dawkins was sent off just before halftime, and Robbie Keane added a late penalty kick after Wondolowski ended the shutout in the 89th minute. LA has been virtually untouchable at home this year, with 4-1, 3-1, 5-2 and 4-2 victories sandwiching a 1-1 draw with Portland six weeks ago.
Giovani Dos Santos has been in alarmingly good form, enough so to get a call-up to Mexico's national team for Copa America, an invitation he turned down. He's scored and/or assisted in the last five games, Steven Gerrard has a four-game points streak going, Robbie Keane's is three games -- the last two since he returned from a knee injury -- and Mike Magee has scored or assisted in the past two.
The Earthquakes are a different side at home than on the road. They're 5-0-1 at Avaya Stadium, including a 3-1 triumph over Houston last week as Alberto Quintero scored twice and assisted the other goal, but 0-3-2 on the road. They've given up 11 goals in those five matches, and three of their five away strikes have come in the 83nd minute or later, and only one of them mattered: Dawkins' equalizer at Philadelphia three weeks ago.
Both sides come in off an 11-day MLS break, although the Quakes beat Spain's Real Sociedad, 2-1, in a friendly Wednesday night, with Chris Wondolowski scoring twice.
San Jose coach Dominic Kinnear has dealt with something of a revolving lineup this year because of injuries, and among the missing have been center back Clarence Goodson (back tightness), who started the first two games but hasn't played since, and forward Quincy Amarikwa (right hamstring), who hasn't been seen the last three outings. Amarikwa has been upgraded to questionable, as is defender Andres Imperiale, Goodson's fill-in, who has missed the last three games, with Marvell Wynne moving inside. Also affected has been DP Innocent Emeghara, who figures to miss his third straight match with an ankle injury.
Nigel de Jong looks like a go for the Galaxy after missing the last five games -- three on suspension for that clattering tackle on Portland's Darlington Nagbe and the last two with a knee injury -- and Alan Gordon, out the last four with a neck injury, should be ready to come off the bench if needed. Leonardo, who missed the start of the season with a knee injury, made his first start in last week's 2-2 draw at Philadelphia, with Daniel Steres coming off the bench after starting the first nine games. The big question is at goalkeeper. Dan Kennedy, the No. 1 to start the season, made his first start against Philly since leaving the opener with a groin injury, but his error enabled the Union's 63rd-minute equalizer. The guess is that Brian Rowe will be back in the nets.
The players' union released salary information this week, and the Galaxy's top five earners (in guaranteed compensation) are Gerrard ($6.1325 million), Dos Santos ($4.25 million), Keane ($3.5 million), de Jong ($500,000) and Zardes ($472,500). Ashley Cole has been a bargain at $327,625. The Quakes' top five: Emeghara ($1.3 million), Dawkins ($800,000), Wondolowski ($700,000), Goodson ($342,000) and Amarikwa ($260,666.67). Garcia Perez is listed at $250,000.
The Galaxy received a far simpler fourth-round assignment in the U.S. Open Cup than did the Quakes. LA will be home June 14 against a local USASA side, either La Maquina or L.A. Wolves. San Jose must visit the Portland Timbers.
Giovani Dos Santos has been the most electrifying player in MLS the past month, and his decision to decline Mexico's invitation to Copa America's Centenario says everything about his commitment to the Galaxy. He's having a blast, more so now that Robbie Keane's back -- forget what you hear about how they can't play together, it's ridiculous -- and with Steven Gerrard healthy and sharp again and contributions coming from virtually everywhere else, what's not to like. He's had a goal and/or assist, sometimes in multiples -- five of each, in total -- in each of the last five games, but it's the quality of the goals and of the set-ups that's knocking everyone out.
Only two coaches have won back-to-back MLS Cup titles, and they're facing off here. Bruce Arena, 64, won the league's first two championships at D.C. United, then in 2011 and 2012 won with the Galaxy, beating Dominic Kinnear and the Houston Dynamo both times. He won a record fifth crown two years ago.
Kinnear, 48, a former MLS (and U.S. national team) midfielder, has been a part of four MLS Cup triumphs, twice as an assistant to Frank Yallop with the Quakes and then as head coach at Houston the first two seasons after the team relocated to South Texas. He returned last year to San Jose, near his hometown, posting a .500 record and just missing the playoffs.
• San Jose's Chris Wondolowski is closing in on two MLS scoring records, for winning goals (he has 38, two behind Jeff Cunningham and three in back of Landon Donovan) and road goals (58, four behind Donovan). He's No. 4 all-time (116, 28 off Donovan's record) and has the most in MLS since the 2010 campaign kicked off (109). Wondo also signed a new multi-year contract on Friday.
• LA is No. 1 in goals (24), No. 1 in assists (23), No. 1 in offense (2.40 per game, .7 ahead of No. 2 Orlando City), No. 1 for home offense (3.40 per game, 1.23 ahead of No. 2 Houston), No. 1 for first-half goals (1.20 per game), and No. 1 for second-half goals (1.20 per game). They're only 16th in shots (122) and 10th in shots on goal (52).
• LA is 3-1-3 when they've trailed at halftime, the only MLS club with a winning mark in such situations. But San Jose is 113-4-23 with a halftime lead, dating to the start of the 2000 season.
• After scoring seven goals in the first eight games, Chris Wondolowski has gone scoreless the past three games, and he hasn't scored from somewhere other than the penalty spot in more than a month. He assisted both San Jose goals in the win over Houston and tallied twice in the friendly with Real Sociedad.
Anything can happen in rivalry games, right? Well, maybe not. The Quakes haven't won often in LA, and the Galaxy are in much better form and health -- and better-rested -- for what that matters. Anything (ital)can(end ital) happen, but it likely won't. Galaxy 4, Earthquakes 1.

"Réunion" is about friendship. Good friendships, are rare but, when they happen, they are wonderful. We all have that one friend we always think about, that all important best friend.
"Reunion" is about the relationship of two boys, but it is also about class structure and antisemitism which has always existed. It is important that there always be people of conscience who try to educate others about destructive demagogues influencing our lives without us realizing it.

Earnings: Q2 Results for The Bancorp, Discover, Mastercard, PayPal
Several major payments companies released second-quarter earnings this week, including The Bancorp, Discover, Mastercard and PayPal. Overall, payments volume is on the rise and partnerships are proving particularly important for PayPal, which has been on tear with recent strategic announcements.
The Bancorp Inc. on July 27 reported net income of $18.9 million, or $0.34 earnings per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared with a net loss of $31.4 million, or $0.83 loss per diluted share for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
The holding company for the largest prepaid issuer in the U.S.—The Bancorp Bank—also reported net income from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, at $17.6 million, or $0.32 earnings per diluted share, compared with a net loss of $17.8 million from continuing operations, or $0.47 loss per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.
"The first quarter of 2017 was a turning point for our company and our second quarter demonstrates that we have turned the corner on our financial performance," said CEO Damian Kozlowski. "Our run-rate earnings continue to improve, reflecting further revenue momentum and the positive results from our ongoing restructuring and expense management efforts."
The earnings report follows an announcement from The Bancorp about a new leadership team to strengthen its operations and risk management.
Discover Financial Services reported net income of $546 million or $1.40 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2017, compared with $616 million or $1.47 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2016.
Total loans grew $6.1 billion 8 percent from the prior year to $78.0 billion while consumer deposits grew $3.6 billion (11 percent) from the prior year to $37.7 billion. Payment services transaction dollar volume was $50.1 billion, up 12 percent from the prior year.
"We delivered profitable loan growth, strong revenue growth and positive operating leverage, which helped to offset normalizing credit costs," said David Nelms, chairman and CEO of Discover. "Our new capital plan includes higher dividends and planned share repurchases, and we expect to continue to deliver a leading yield to our shareholders."
Mastercard, Mobile Momentum
On July 27, Mastercard Inc. reported second-quarter net income of $1.2 billion, or a record $1.10 per diluted share. The Purchase, N.Y.-based payment network reported a net revenue increase of 13 percent for Q2 to a record $3.1 billion.
Second-quarter adjusted gross dollar volume and purchase volume both were up 9 percent, compared with the second quarter a year ago. As of June 30, 2017, the company's customers had issued 2.4 billion Mastercard and Maestro-branded cards.
"Our momentum continued as we delivered record revenues and earnings per share this quarter," said Ajay Banga, Mastercard president and CEO. "This growth is driven by our focus on providing products and solutions that help our issuers, merchants and partners gain real value beyond the transaction. Our investments in Fast ACH, B2B payments and advanced security technologies increasingly position us as the one-stop shop for our partners' electronic payment needs."
Meanwhile, PayPal Holdings Inc. reported revenue growth of 18 percent to $3.136 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017. GAAP earnings per diluted share growth rose 27 percent to $0.34, according to the company.
PayPal also reported the addition of 6.5 million active customer accounts, an 80 percent increase over Q2 2016. Overall, it ended the quarter with 210 million active customer accounts, including 17 million merchant accounts.
Payment transactions were up 23 percent to 1.8 billion and total payment volume was $106 billion in the quarter. Approximately 34 percent of payment volume came through a mobile device and mobile payment volume increased 50 percent over the same period last year to approximately $36 billion.
Venmo, the company's social payments platform, processed $8.0 billion in total payment volume, growing 103 percent over Q2 2016.
"The accelerating and extensive scale of our two-sided global platform creates a strong foundation for PayPal's growth, enabling consumers and merchants to transact in new contexts and across operating systems, technologies and platforms," said Dan Schulman, president and CEO of PayPal. "Our strong results reflect PayPal's transformation from a single product to a platform company, from a vendor to a strategic partner to both merchants and ecosystem players, and from a checkout option to an increasingly more central way for consumers to manage and move their money."
The company highlighted a slew of recent strategic partnerships it says are broadening the relevance of its platform and increasing PayPal's addressable market. On July 26, PayPal announced a partnership with Baidu to enable Chinese consumers to pay with Baidu Wallet and PayPal at PayPal's millions of merchants outside of China.
Recent deals with banks include Bank of America, Citi and JPMorgan Chase. PayPal also extended its Visa partnership into Europe and recently partnered with Samsung Pay for U.S. acceptance, while another deal with Apple offers consumers in 12 countries the ability to use PayPal for iTunes, Apple App Store, iBooks and Apple Music purchases. Yet another partnership with Google enables Android Pay users on Google's Chrome mobile web will be able to pay at millions of online merchants that accept PayPal, using their PayPal account and fingerprint authentication.

Wedding South Lake Tahoe Glenbrook NV Private Residence. There are many venues around Lake Tahoe to get married at. However, if one of your family members has a lakefront home for you to use for your big day, call that an extremely advantageous fringe benefit. Karen and Gabriel got married a couple of weeks ago at Gabriel's uncle's beautiful lakefront home on Lake Tahoe. Nestled just past the very popular Cave Rock in Glenbrook, the home was a great setting for their day. Karen & Gabriel both hail from the city in the bay where Karen is a teacher and Gabriel is a very talented artist who works in a variety of media including oil and acrylic, watercolor, charcoal, pastel, etching, digital and mixed media. Guests and family members traveled as far away from the Philippines and with the beautiful setting in place, their wedding day was filled with happiness, fun, drinking and lots of action on the dancefloor! One of the most memorable events of the night was when Gabriel's dad Stephen, serenaded the couple with his harmonica. He played a solid freestyle set with his harp and thoroughly impressed everyone in attendance! As one of the guests commented upon the completion of his blues inspired jam "Steve, you just got a whole lot cooler to me!" Congrats Karen & Gabriel! Scroll to view some highlights from their day.

The Dreaming Child is a screenplay by Harold Pinter (1930–2008), the 2005 Nobel Laureate in Literature, which he completed in 1997 and published in volume 3 of his Collected Screenplays (2000).  It has not yet been filmed but was produced as a radio play by Feelgood Films for BBC Radio Four's Unmade Movies series in 2015. It is an adaptation of the short story "The Dreaming Child" by Danish author Karen Blixen (aka Isak Dinesen).  Pinter's manuscripts for this work are housed in The Harold Pinter Archive in the British Library.

Background

The co-editor of The Pinter Review Francis X. Gillen discusses the genesis of Pinter's unpublished screenplay, based on materials in the Archive, in his essay on this work, focusing on Pinter's "political vision" in his adaptation of Blixen's short story to the film medium.

According to his official website and correspondence in the Archive cited by Gillen, Pinter's screen adaptation was commissioned by actress Julia Ormond, who wanted to produce and to direct a film of this work:

Julia Ormond commissioned this Pinter screenplay -- a 19th-century tale of a mother's failure to love her adopted child -- as part of her 20th Century Fox development deal as producer/director.  Her first offering as producer was the television documentary Calling the Ghost based on two women's suffering in Bosnia.

Talking about Pinter she told the Evening Standard in October 1997, "Working with him is the highlight of my career. I think he has done a brilliant script and I hope we will get the green light soon."

At the time of Pinter's death, 24 December 2008, the film had still not been made. The screenplay was first broadcast as a radio play on BBC Radio 4 on 5 March 2015.

In Harold Pinter his official authorised biographer Michael Billington quotes Pinter's comment, "I had enormous respect for both Julia and her vision … but she was intent on directing, as well as producing, the film and in the end it was this that brought the project to its knees.  The money-men simply wouldn't give her the chance" (398).  Billington, who describes the screenplay as "remarkable", adds, "Which is sad because Pinter's screenplay is on a level with his work for Joseph Losey.  It [Pinter's comment] is also a perfect riposte to the sceptics who argue that Pinter's political engagement has diluted his aesthetic sensibility," as he finds "Pinter's keen awareness of mortality and compensating hunger for life" to be "also apparent" in this "remarkable" screenplay (398).

Critical analysis

Billington concludes, "It is an intriguing story and you can see why Ormond and Pinter were attracted to it.  But Blixen, who married her baronial cousin and later lived on a Kenyan coffee plantation"—made famous in the 1985 film adaptation of her memoir Out of Africa, starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford—"clings to a conservative belief in fate."  In contrast, Billington finds, "Pinter … retains the source's narrative structure while investing it with new meaning," one which Billington acknowledges that Gillen develops in the latter's prior comparative analysis of Pinter's manuscript of the screenplay (398–99).

Gillen finds that Pinter achieves in the unpublished version of the screenplay, "both a faithful rendering and an enlargement of political consciousness" (110).  Extending Gillen's perspective, Billington argues that "Pinter enriches the story by heightening its social context; and, in so doing, he demolishes the convenient myth that his political fervour has somehow diluted the art" (398–99).

Acne is caused by the body's increased production of androgen hormone which stimulates the sebaceous glands to produce more oil. This increased production of oil causes the pores to become blocked, so that the oil cannot come to the skin surface. The acne itself is an infection caused by skin bacteria that feed on and breakdown this oil. The Ellipse IPL treatment filters the light to target the haemoglobin in the fine blood overproduction of oil that leads to acne.
The Ellipse treatment is a combination therapy working in conjunction with an adapalene cream or gel which reduces the inflammation causes by acne.
A course of treatment is recommended. A price for the full course will be given following a consultation.

Record spending expected for holiday season
By Nathan Phelps Wisconsin
ASHWAUBENON, Wis. — Wednesdays are busy at Powers Comics and Collectibles — that's the day when the new books come in.
But the store has been consistently busy for the past year, and it's not something Jeremiah Johnson sees slowing down through the holidays.
The National Retail Federation forecasts Americans will spend between $843 Million and $859 Billion this holiday season
Several Wisconsin retailers say sales have been good this year and its a trend they expect to continue into the holidays
Shoppers are "embracing" an earlier start to shopping
"Definitely busier," he said."I think that now more people are vaccinated, too, we'll see more people comfortable coming out. I expect it to be busier."
So does the National Retail Federation, which issued its annual holiday forecast Wednesday morning.
It expects American consumers to spend between $843 and $859 billion dollars over the last two months of the year. That's a roughly 9 to 11 percent increase over 2020.
It's also a record figure, according to the organization.
The forecast comes as some parts of the global supply chain are twisted. That could mean some items are harder to find this holiday season.
That has Derek Reiter of Green Bay planning to start his shopping earlier.
"I think there's going to be a shortage of different things and they've already been saying, 'Buy those Christmas gifts now so Santa can show up,'" he said.
Like the retail federation, he expects sales figures will be up.
"I think there are a lot of people who are getting ready and excited for the holiday seasons because they've been cooped up a little bit," Reiter said. "If they're going to do something, they're going to do something nice for themselves or their family and I think spending is going to be significantly up."
Johnson says part of what's driving more business at Powers Comics is a renewed interest in the hobby.
"I'm floored at how many new people I see," he said. We have so many regular customers … but it's just constantly new people."
He's looking forward to welcoming those people into the store over the next two months, which traditionally include some big sales days and sales figures.
"December is definitely the biggest month for us," he said.

Carter Williams is looking ahead to more silverware after scoring his first podium finish in the F4 British Championship certified by FIA – powered by Ford EcoBoost at Brands Hatch last weekend.
Williams – one of the later drivers to commit to Ford's winning formula in 2019 – was hampered slightly by a lack of wet-weather running in winter testing as rain hit the 1.2-mile Kent circuit during qualifying and the opening two races.
The American rising star did well to register his first points in the Ford EcoBoost-powered series whilst chasing an ideal setup for the conditions, claiming ninth and sixth respectively in the first two contests.
He then underlined his and JHR's potential, maximising his second-row start to claim a first British F4 podium in the final race – live on ITV4 – to put himself fifth overall in the standings heading to the next event at Donington Park on 27th-28th April.
"Summing up the weekend I'd say a lot was learnt, especially from the rain, but it was good to get a dry race and secure P3 as a result," said Williams.
"We struggled a bit in free practice, as we don't necessarily have the amount of tyres that other teams do. I also had a little trip to the gravel so that hampered our FP2 times and really, I went into qualifying blind. I went out late on new tyres but bagged two good laps at the end for P4 and P3.
"The first race was really my first time in the wet so didn't have a lot of experience and the team made a call on tyre choice.
"It wasn't really wet, it was greasy more than anything, and as a result Josh and I didn't do very well. In race two the car was better, but I was still trying to find set although I came away with a great sixth place.

Pacesetter Prize
We created the Pacesetter Prize in 2017 to honor states making significant progress in improving long-term services and supports (LTSS) for older adults, people with disabilities, and family caregivers. Through this Prize, we examine and promote activities in states whose policies have positive, measurable impact on its residents.
The Prize shines light on states that are actively building a high-quality infrastructure for aging Americans, and shares state best practices to maximize learning and adoption by other states. Using data from the AARP LTSS State Scorecard, the Pacesetter Prize is currently awarded in four Scorecard dimensions.
Connecticut is a proven national leader and moved up from No. 10 in the 2017 LTSS State Scorecard to No. 6 in 2020, exhibiting more improvement in Affordability and Access than any other state.
New Jersey exhibited more progress in Choice of Setting and Provider than any other state, improving from No. 36 in 2017 to No. 19 in 2020. It moved from No. 17 to No. 12 in overall performance.
New York continues to innovate and create a more robust LTSS system, improving in four of five measures and ranking No. 5 in the country in the Support for Family Caregivers dimension.
Ohio's overall rank in the LTSS State Scorecard rose from No. 34 in 2017 to No. 19 in 2020. Across all states, it was the most improved in the dimension of Effective Transitions.
The current LTSS State Scorecard data collected by AARP mostly cover the period 2016-19. Thus, the Scorecard paints a picture of comprehensive LTSS system performance before COVID-19 began.

Baptist minister scoops Liverpool comedy award
Rev Allan Finnegan will donate part of his cash prize to a Netherton charity project

A Baptist minister is having the last laugh after embarking on a stand up career outside the pulpit.
Rev Allan Finnegan has been a pastor at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Netherton for ten years but has taken his public speaking to new heights after signing up for a six-week funny business course.
The 48-year-old, originally from Bootle, has performed for audiences in London and has now won Hot Water Comedy Club's Comedian of the Year award
Rev Finnegan said: "I was quite surprised as it was a strong line-up. I was shocked to win but I knew I hadn't let myself down like I have in previous performances.
"I wasn't really nervous as I've done over 100 gigs now. The bigger the crowd, the better, because at least one person will laugh."
Rev Finnegan has recently started including impersonations in his routine including local boys Johnny Vegas and John Bishop.
He told the ECHO he was nothing like the Runcorn funny man as he lacks the "few million quid and a lot of teeth", joking: "I'll probably never make a bishop either because I'm rubbish at my job."
The comedic cleric admitted that as he continues to manage his double life, the roles can morph into each other.
"I can't help myself sometimes when I go into comic mode in church, I need to remember which gig I'm in. I'm sure sometimes I go too far. I usually get a look off my wife which means 'shut up, now'. Then I'll push it further to annoy her, as her hand moves across her neck, signalling. I guess she is my moral filter."
But he says comedy can help him in his day job far more than it hinders.
Rev Finnegan said: "I can still work hand in glove as minister and comedian. The purpose of what I do is to break down stereotypes of people in the church, as something negative.
"When I started comedy, I had just been to see Peter Kay and I realised it isn't what you're saying, but how you say it, that makes a difference.
"I think I give a different perspective in my comedy act. People don't know much about my job or the church anymore. I also make fun of myself a lot."
Alongside the title, Rev Finnegan will receive a cash prize which he will donate part of to charity.
He donates 10 per cent of everything he earns to the Eden Network, a youth work charity scheme in Netherton that aims to help young people make better choices.
Rev Finnegan's next performance will be at a multi-faith show on November 24 at the Manchester Comedy Store.

I download the .rar file from this site, but whenever I go to extract it into a folder (so that I can turn the folder into a .iso) I get this message: Error code 3 using "unrar" CRC error occurred, maybe the file is corrupt Any tips would be appreciated, I've redownloaded it a few times and always get this. My extraction software (Keka) has never had this problem before.
Status update: I kept redownloading it and was finally able to convert it into an .iso However when I try to load it on Dolphin it says that it is not a valid ISO. Help?
I had a problem with mine where it bugged out after the second mission but this game is a great game and should definitely be a top choice for any gamer.
what system should I use to run this game?
its such a good game!!!!!!!!!!
pyremaker: Your dolphin is set up incorrectly, and this game does not run well on dolphin anyway. In future, please use the forum for technical support, not the game comments section.
Downloaded it, was under the name hz-ferdv101 and was a disc image file. Put it into Dolphin and it said "Couldn't enumerate outputs" Do I have to convert it to an iso or what?
This is for sure the fixed ISO. I could import my Easy save game from Path of Radiance. It's a great game so far too.
Amazing game, definitely a great addition to the series.
Great ROM. Anyone experiencing crashes at certain points (Lots of Laguz transforming, Herons using Vigor) should try DSP LLE in Dolphin.
