Fleur De Lis Template
The fleur de lis, which means lily flower in French, is one of the oldest symbols in human history, and can be found in art from long ago. If you want to decorate your own artwork with a fleur de lis, download one of the fleur de lis templates found on this page. Use them as stencils, color them, or trace over them.
Each fleur de lis template sheet contains the same symbol, but they've been scaled. They range in width, from 1 inch to 8 inches. I started making these sheets when I realized that such symbols are time-consuming to draw if you don't have access to a program like Photoshop or Illustrator. So hopefully these PDFs can save you a bit of time. Less time doing tedious work, and more time on the fun creative aspect of your art craft.
To download, click on a fluer de lis shape sheet below. You'll be taken the corresponding attachment page. Then click on the blue link to open the PDF in your browser.

A responsible business
Creating the Mace culture
We are an international consultancy and construction business. We shape the cities and communities of the future by connecting clients, communities, suppliers and partners.
Mace operates from five strategic hubs in Europe, Middle East and North Africa, North America, Sub‑Saharan Africa and Asia Pacific.
The lifestyle of a lifetime
With the eyes of the world watching, Mace delivered the largest ever single phase residential scheme in just 40 months. Comprising of 40 towers - each of which was an average 40 storeys - overall a 22m square feet resort; Jumeirah Beach Residence set a new world standard.

UAE Dubai, Middle East and North Africa
In 2003 we started working on the most ambitious residential and hotel resort seen anywhere in the world. With 36 residential towers and four hotel towers, boutique beach clubs and retail units to construct - all on sand and on an island site, we had our work cut out.
We delivered the client's vision by focusing on innovative design and operational efficiency, as well as developing a new community and vibrant public spaces. This ensured that Jumeirah Beach Residence was created as not 'just another residential development', but actually provided the 'lifestyle of a lifetime'.
As programme and project managers for the client, as well as cost consult, we were able to drive best practice through procurement, planning, logistics and cost control. We ensured detailed coordination of the programme of work and labour force across the 1.7km development.
Project stats
80% of building materials imported into Dubai
22,000 workers on site at peak
6,600 apartments
23,000+ sq m of retail space
Points of note
Creating a single standard
With 80% of building materials imported from around the world, a 95% foreign workforce and the professional services team coming from five different continents, we had a real challenge to set high standards, drive consistency and share best practice - all while maintaining high levels of health and safety.
Building on a huge scale
The project broke many records, including being the largest ever single phased multi-use schemes of its kind in the world. For the development to complete in just 40 months, we had to ensure that the unrelenting programme stayed on schedule, completing one floor every two weeks, with the team working around the clock to ensure we hit the deadline.
A one-team approach
We led a core concept team - an international band of leading consultants brought together to develop the scheme, and to produce the key building blocks in an advanced schematic solution. We divided the site into a number of more manageable areas – in practice seven 'sectors' - separated by natural break points such as roads. Each of the sectors was managed by a Mace sector team.
Bringing the wow factor
Still wowing visitors today, the Jumeirah Beach Residence is more than just a landmark of luxury in Dubai; this is the project on which we established our international reputation in programme management of large scale, complex schemes - and our capability in high-rise developments.
"We are proud to have been a part of creating such an iconic and ground breaking development as Jumeirah Beach Residence. Not only have we helped to create a landmark of luxury in Dubai, but the project has helped establish our international credibility in in programme management of large complex schemes and a capability in high-rise buildings that later took us onto developments such as The Shard and Kingdom Tower."

POWERBALL JACKPOT AT $210M
Stefan C. Friedman
Social Links for Stefan C. Friedman
Hope remains alive for double-dipping lottery players looking to ring in the New Year in style.
Last night's Powerball drawing again failed to produce a grand-prize winner – sending the jackpot skyrocketing to $210 million for Wednesday's New Year's Eve drawing.
Mega Millions players suffered the same fate Friday night, and that purse has leaped to an amazing $150 million.
Mega Millions players will have to wait until Tuesday for their next shot at the $150 million purse.
Eighteen people – including two New Yorkers – won the comparatively meager $175,000 second prize in the Mega Millions jackpot.
The record win for Powerball occurred last December when $314.9 million went to West Virginia construction company owner Andrew Whittaker.
For Mega Millions, the record win was $363 million in May of 2000.

TOURING OUTBACK DOWN UNDER
Advice for overseas visitors to Australia.
Outback Australia is one of the last remaining frontiers on this over-populated planet. Those who enjoy remote-area beauty will love it, but there are pitfalls that need to be avoided.
First up, the basics. Australian vehicles have right-hand-side steering wheels and Aussies drive on the left-hand side of the road. This is pretty obvious when you're driving in traffic on lane-marked highways, but on narrow roads or dirt roads where there are no markings and fewer vehicles it's easy to forget. Write a reminder note and stick it on the steering wheel!
You can drive with a foreign (English language) licence for three months, but beyond that period you need to get a licence from an Australian state. If your licence is not in English, you need to get an International Driving Permit before you leave home.
Australia is as large as greater Europe and the same size as the USA, but most of the 24 million Aussies live east of the north-south mountain range that runs from North Queensland to Victoria and around the coasts, so the inland road network is not well developed. There are bitumen major roads around the coast and through Central Australia, but many 'Outback' roads are gravel.
For trip planning purposes it's important to note that Highway One in its various guises is a bitumen road that runs right around Australia. The bitumen Stuart Highway runs north-south from Port Augusta in South Australia to Darwin in the Northern Territory.
There's bitumen from Sydney, Brisbane, Rockhampton, Townsville and Cairns through western Queensland to the Northern Territory.
There's bitumen from Darwin to Kakadu National Park and to Broome in Western Australia.
Most of the major tourist sites around Alice Springs can be reached on bitumen roads.
However, even on bitumen roads there are often very long distances between towns that have fuel, water and food. Most Outback food stores and fuel stations aren't open at night.
Rental vehicles usually have restrictions on where they can be driven. Check that the vehicle you're hiring can be driven on gravel roads, before you plan your trip. Permits are necessary to travel through Aboriginal Tribal Lands in certain remote areas.
If you have limited or no experience of driving on gravel roads think of driving on icy roads: grip is poor and you don't want to get the vehicle sliding. All gravel roads in Australia are 'corrugated' with a series of ruts that are caused by the action of tyres passing over the loose surface. Some corrugations are mild and others are severe.
The best speed for most gravel roads is around 70-80km/h and at that speed the corrugations smooth out somewhat. However, severe corrugations may be better travelled at speeds as low as 40km/h. Find a speed that's kind to the vehicle and don't rush!
Major gravel roads are the Gibb River Road in northern Western Australia; the Great Central Road that links the Western Australian goldfields with Uluru (Ayers Rock); the Tanami Road from Alice Springs to Halls Creek in Western Australia; the Birdsville Track that's a major part of the link between Port August in South Australia and Mount Isa in western Queensland; the Savannah Way between Mataranka in the Northern Territory and Normanton in northern Queensland and the Oodnadatta Track that connects Marree and Marla in South Australia.
Distances and speed limits are in kilometres and km/h. Speed limits are generally lower than in Europe and Aussie police don't allow any over-speed margin. Fines are heavy and driving at 30km/h over the speed limit may see you headed for jail, so beware!
Don't drive if you've been drinking alcohol: that's another jail offence.
Everyone in a vehicle must wear a seat belt at all times, or the driver will be fined.
The kangaroo and the emu are Australia's two national symbols, but they're a huge problem for drivers.
Kangaroos leap across rural roads – particularly around dawn, sunset and during the night – and are killed in large numbers. They're heavy and they do a great deal of damage to a vehicle if you hit one. 'Roos have also ended up inside vehicles after smashing through windscreens!
Avoid driving in the early evening and at night. If you must travel at night, drive slowly – 60km/h maximum – so you have some chance of avoiding kangaroos. Travel at 100km/h at night and you'll hit one sooner or later.
Emus are active during the day and behave unpredictably. If you see emus at the edge of the road, slow down to walking speed as you pass them.
Other animal hazards are sheep and cattle, on roads that have no fences. Slow down to walking speed when approaching them.
Safety and self sufficiency
Visitors from most countries are accustomed to towns every few kilometres, with mechanical and medical help readily available 24/7, via mobile or cell phone. Visitors are also used to seeing other vehicles all the time. That's not what it's like in Outback Australia.
It's possible to be on an Outback road and not see more than a few vehicles all day. On some roads there may be no passing vehicles at all.
There is very limited mobile or cell phone coverage once you're away from cities and four-lane highways, and many small towns have no mobile coverage. You cannot rely on mobile phone coverage on highways and gravel roads unless you're within a few kilometres of a mid-sized town.
If you're planning to be in remote areas for some weeks you should hire a satellite phone. Most vehicle rental companies can organise one for you.
Nearly all people travelling in the Australian Outback are doing what you intend to do: enjoy the vast landscape. However, there are 'weirdos' in every country, including Australia, so take some precautions if you stop beside the road overnight.
If you camp away from a town camping area the best choice is a designated roadside parking area, where there are normally some other vehicles parked for the night as well. The alternative is getting right away from the road, where no passing vehicles can see your vehicle lights or your campfire.
If you have a medical emergency or vehicle breakdown you need to be as self-sufficient as possible. A first aid kit and ample water and food for several days are necessities.
If you're planning to travel into remote areas you need to let someone know where you're travelling to and what day you expect to be there. Tell the police in the town you're leaving and check in with police at your destination.
That way, if you don't arrive within a day or two of your planned arrival, the police can start a search for you. Country police in Australia are very friendly (unless you're speeding) and they're used to looking after travellers.
No matter what happens DO NOT LEAVE YOUR VEHICLE. Many people have died of thirst, wandering along hot Outback roads in search of help. Exposed to the sun and without water, you can be dead in a day.
Flag down any passing vehicles and let them know about your problem.
Help will arrive, but you and your vehicle may be stranded at the roadside for several days.
We're sorry if this information sounds frightening, but we've visited the roadside graves of travellers who have died in arid country. You need to be Outback Aware.
Snakes and spiders
Australia is home to the most venomous snakes and spiders on the planet, but they don't like us any more than we like them. If you stay away from snakes and spiders they'll leave you alone.
Precautions include not walking through long grass, where snakes may be hiding and not picking up campfire wood without looking carefully.
If you do encounter a snake, stop walking and retreat slowly, so that the snake doesn't feel threatened by your proximity. Under no circumstances should you chase a snake, or try to kill it, because they're protected creatures and the chances of the snake winning are high!
In the unlikely event that you get bitten by a snake or a spider here's what to do.
Sharks, crocs and stingers
Australia is famous for having dangerous sea creatures. Sharks swim in all Australian coastal waters and crocodiles are common in coastal and inland waters in tropical zones.
Unlike Europe nearly all Australian beaches have free entry.
The safest place to swim in the ocean is at a beach that has surf lifesaving patrols. Life savers monitor the water for sharks and an alarm sounds if a shark is sighted. You can recognise a beach that's patrolled by a pair of prominent red and yellow flags: always swim between these flags.
Swimming outside the flags or at unpatrolled beaches is risky: several people are drowned every year when caught in currents and others are killed or wounded by shark attacks.
In tropical areas there are fewer sharks, but crocodiles are a threat. They swim in the ocean and they also inhabit creeks, waterholes and river mouths. The only safe place to swim in crocodile-infested areas is in a town or resort swimming pool!
Don't camp on beaches, creek banks or the edges of 'billabongs' (land-locked natural pools) in crocodile areas, because the crocodile's favourite hunting tactic is to rush from an unseen, underwater position onto land and drag its prey into the water and drown it. The whole process happens in a few seconds and there's usually no escape possible.
Other dangerous ocean-going creatures are 'stingers'. These jellyfish float in the ocean and trail stinging threads around them. Some stingers have painful, but relatively harmless stings while others have fatal stinging power.
It's common to wear a so-called 'stinger suit' when snorkelling in coral reef areas. This thin, lightweight clothing stops stinging cells contacting your skin.
On patrolled beaches there is up-to-date information about stingers, but on unpatrolled beaches there isn't.

Q: Creating table using select statement from multiple tables I have this university task to create table using SELECT statement from multiple tables, but it's not as simple... here's basic info:
I'm using 2 tables -
CITY(city_ID, name);
PERSON(person_ID, name, surname, city_ID);
--city_ID is FK indicating in which city person was born.

Now my task is to create new table
STATISTICS(city_ID, city_name, number_of_births);
--number_of_births is basically a count of people born in each city

Problem is that I have to use only SELECT statement to do so.
I've tried something like this: (I'm well aware that this cannot possibly work but as to give you a better idea where I'm stuck)
CREATE TABLE Statistics AS
(SELECT city.city_ID, city.name as "city_name", number_of_births AS
                (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM person WHERE person.city_id = city.city_id)
 FROM city, person);

A: For SQL Server you can do SELECT * INTO. Something like this:
SELECT
    *
INTO Statistics
FROM (
    SELECT
        city.city_ID,
        city.name as "city_name",
        (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM person WHERE person.city_id = city.city_id) as 'number_of_births'
    FROM city
        inner join person on city.city_id = person.city_id
) t1

A: (Posted on behalf of the question author).
Ok, this got really messy. Dave Zych's answer was correct when rewritten in Oracle dialect.
CREATE TABLE Statistics AS SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT DISTINCT
        city.city_ID,
        city.name AS "City_name",
        (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM person WHERE person.city_ID = city.city_ID) AS "number_of_births"
         FROM city  INNER JOIN person ON city.city_ID = person.city_ID);


Huge shout-out to everyone involved in the production tonight of Living Lord's Supper. If you were unable to make it out, please join us on Sunday @ 10am to watch a fantastic performance!!!

If you are a repeat customer with a valid email address in our database, you can now schedule your own sealing project (Max 4 weeks in advance).
Your parking lot is a significant investment in your property and one of the first impressions your business makes on your customers. Well maintained parking areas project a positive image to arriving customers. The punishment from daily traffic, chemicals such as gasoline and oil, the sun's UV rays, and water all contribute to the deterioration of asphalt. Don't let a neglected parking lot be the first thing your customers see.
Most asphalt driveways in our area last 15-20 years. When areas of the driveway are beyond sealing or if it's time for a new driveway, contact us for a free estimate on asphalt paving work.
Collegiate Sealers & Paving has been servicing driveways and parking lots in Northern Virginia since 1988. We have been recognized for the third consecutive year as one of the nation's Top 75 Pavement Contractors.
Our philosophy has not changed since company owner, Rich Cornicello, founded the company almost 30 years ago while attending James Madison University. Give the best possible service at a reasonable price and the customer will not only call you back, they will likely recommend your services to friends & associates. It seems to be working as we have completed over 250,000 jobs and in many neighborhoods we have sealcoated, repaired, or replaced 75% of the driveways at least once.
We take pride in our reputation as a company you can depend on. If you're looking for a reliable, honest contractor to work on your driveway or parking lot, please give us a call. From the initial call to the completion of the project, see why over 75,000 homeowners and more than 1,000 commercial clients call Collegiate Sealers & Paving their asphalt contractor.
Sealcoating restores the rich black surface of the driveway while acting as a shield protecting your asphalt driveway against damage caused by oxidation from by the sun's UV rays, gasoline, oil, and chemical spills, moisture penetration, and winter's freeze/thaw cycles. We recommend sealing your driveway no more than once every 2 to 3 years.
Driveways that are extensively deteriorated usually require a complete removal and replacement. On smaller driveways, this is often the most cost effective option when compared to repair.
Sometimes referred to as resurfacing. This involves placing a new layer of asphalt over the existing driveway & can be an economical alternative to a remove and replace. Not all driveways are candidates for an overlay, particularly those with severe widespread deterioration.
Repair is performed to correct isolated problems with the driveway. Potholes, low spots, sinking at the garage, spider-web cracking are all candidates for repair.
If your current driveway is too narrow or if you need more parking space we can enlarge your existing driveway.
Gutters are designed to funnel water off of the roof and away from your home. Clogged gutters can cause leaks, damage to the foundation, and basement flooding. To avoid these problems, gutters in our area should be cleaned twice a year (spring & fall) to remove leaves, sticks, and other debris.
Full depth patching (up to a depth of 4 inches) consists of removing the existing pavement and base material within the areas marked on the pavement. All cuts in the existing pavement are to be straight and vertical and the sub-grade shall be smooth and re-compacted as required to achieve maximum density. A tack coat is applied to all vertical edges of the repair using CRS2 emulsion, then new VDOT approved hot mix asphalt is installed and properly compacted for a uniform finish.
Crack sealing is your best defense against pavement deterioration and consists of cleaning and sealing cracks in the pavement to minimize the penetration of water and the intrusion of debris. Work will include cleaning the cracks with forced air, heat lance, or other hand tools as required to remove debris and vegetation. After cleaning, the cracks are sealed with a rubberized crack sealant.
Sealcoating provides a protective barrier against damage caused by moisture penetration, chemical spills such as oil and other automotive fluids, oxidation from the sun's UV rays, winter's freeze/thaw cycle. Sealcoating also renews the rich black surface of the asphalt projecting a positive image of your company.
The color contrast of a newly striped parking lot is both attractive and an indication that the property owner emphasizes maintenance and safety. Parking lot striping wears away over time due to exposure to weather conditions and traffic volume. Restriping is a relatively low-cost service that can drastically improve curb appeal.
When there is a need for traffic calming in parking lots or on private roads, strategically placed speed bumps may be the solution.

Williamson County Ends Sheriff's Department Access For 'Live PD' TV Show
By Jimmy Maas | KUT • Aug 20, 2019
A screenshot from an episode of "Live PD," featuring Williamson County law enforcement officers. Officials said they are looking into excessive force charges in the arrest.
Screenshot via YouTube
Williamson County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to end an arrangement with the cable show "Live PD" after the District Attorney's Office requested raw video from the show be kept as evidence. The series follows law enforcement agencies in various locations around the county.
The move comes just three months after commissioners voted 3-2 to re-up the deal with Big Fish Entertainment, the show's production company.
Sheriff Robert Chody has said the show is good for community engagement and deputy recruitment. That sentiment was echoed at Tuesday's meeting by Kathy LaRue of Round Rock, who said she watches the show at community watch parties.
"My grandsons look up to the law enforcement officers on the show," she said. "They get a chance to see them as they work and they see that they treat others with respect."
There have been legal questions since May, though, over the arrest footage accumulated for the show. Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick and defense lawyers have lobbied to have raw video and audio be preserved as evidence at trials.
Under the "Live PD" access agreement with the county, however, producers own all the footage and could destroy it in 30 days.
Concerns have also been raised over the performance of officers being filmed. Last month, county officials said they were looking into the use of force in the arrest of an Austin man shown during one episode.
This comes as the Williamson County Sheriff's Department is being scrutinized for controversial social media posts by one of its commanders. Facebook posts dating back to 2017 from Cmdr. Steve Deaton featured dolls depicting date rape, kidnapping and other criminal acts.
Commissioners heard from county staff about a new and improved social media policy Tuesday, but didn't take action.
Correction: A previous version of this story said Sheriff Robert Chody told commissioners Tuesday that the show was good for community engagement. He was speaking in May.

West Ham coach lays Lingard groundwork; reveals lure Man Utd can't satisfy
Stuart Pearce has hinted Jesse Lingard will struggle to achieve a big ambition at Manchester United, though would find it easier to achieve with West Ham.
The future of Jesse Lingard remains very much up in the air. The 28-year-old produced the form of his life while on loan at West Ham last season. He was expected to be given opportunities to prove his worth upon returning to Old Trafford, though minutes on the pitch have been in desperately short supply.
Only time will tell whether Lingard is given a greater role under interim boss Ralf Rangnick. The German's desire to implement high intensity, pressing football could suit Lingard more than other United forwards.
Nonetheless, Lingard's contract expires next summer and an exit remains a distinct possibility.
United retain hope of convincing the attacker to pen fresh terms. However, the Daily Mail reported last week that Lingard is intent on severing ties at Old Trafford – despite Rangnick's arrival.
That was music to the ears of those chasing Lingard's signature, most notably Newcastle and West Ham.
Now, speaking on talksPORT (via Goal), West Ham coach Stuart Pearce left the door ajar for a Lingard return to London.
World Cup ambition could steer Lingard to West Ham
Additionally, Pearce claimed a big ambition of Lingard will be to make Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad for Qatar 2022. That will only be achieved if Lingard returns to being a regular on the pitch – something far more likely to occur at West Ham than Man Utd.
"I think Jesse, what he showed last year he's going to be linked with various clubs," said Pearce. "There's no doubt about that.
"From his point of view, he'll be looking at the World Cup in less than a year's time and thinking 'what do I have to do, where will I have to play my football?'
"All we know is he's at Manchester United at the moment. He's out of contract next summer. I'm sure he'll have one or two suitors in the summer.
"He did himself no harm coming to us when he did and the form he showed."
If it becomes apparent Lingard won't commit his future to United, a cut-price January sale could be sanctioned. The fees involved will likely be far less than the £25m-£30m United sought in the summer.
Ralf Rangnick's 18 games in charge against Klopp, Tuchel and the wildly contrasting statistics
Rangnick warned element of Man Urd are clueless
Meanwhile, Interim Manchester United boss Rangnick has been told his remit may be bigger than he expected after the football knowledge at the club was savaged.
Former United title winner, Paul Ince, has laid waste to United's hierarchy. Via the Mirror, Ince claimed Rangnick will have to "change the whole philosophy of the club".
Furthermore, he stated United require "change from top to bottom" and threw shade on the football knowledge of their decision-makers.
"He'll have to change the whole philosophy of the club," Ince said of Rangnick. "The Man United executive team, they don't know anything about football.
"The Glazers bought the club just for profit, it was nothing to do with football. There hasn't been anyone like Martin Edwards or David Gill; football people at the club. United needs to be restructured.
"Everything needs to change from top to bottom. There isn't a model at United. Ralf needs to create a model that's going to make Manchester United successful."

Guardiola offered chance to sign PSG defender as 'bench option', source claims
Pogba has entered the final six month of his current Old Trafford terms, with little progress made in discussions over a renewal and a departure on a free transfer in the summer considered likely.
The 28-year-old is yet to make an appearance under interim manager Rangnick after suffering a thigh injury while on international duty in November, though returned to full training on Monday.
Rangnick expects Pogba to be available for selection ahead of the FA Cup fourth round tie with Middlesbrough after the January international break, and is ready to call on United's record signing.
The United interim manager said that Pogba wants to show the fans, board and "the whole world" what kind of player he can be, but added that he will be "highly motivated" even if he is only playing to put himself in the shop window.
When asked if there is much point playing Pogba given the likelihood of him leaving, Rangnick said: "Yes, of course.
"By the way, my contract as a manager is also expiring in the summer. For us we have the same goal. We have the same ambition to be as successful as we can possibly be in the next three or four months.
"For me, it's not a question if a player has an expiring contract. The question is how much does he still want to be a part of this group? How much does he still feel emotionally and physically on board?
"As long as this is the case, why shouldn't Paul Pogba [play] now after two and half months of injury, fully fit again now?
"And he also wants to show up, he wants to show the fans of Manchester United, the board, the whole world what kind of player he can be. And even if it's only to show enough for a new contract elsewhere, he will be highly motivated to do that and why should I then not play him?
"As I said, there is a difference in how players deal with their current situation. How do they handle that? If they handle that in a professional way, an ambitious way, of course I will play players although they have a contract expiring in the summer."
Pogba will be one of the most sought-after free agents in world football if his contract expires before reaching a new agreement with United, as appears likely.
Paris Saint-Germain and Juventus are among the possible destinations for a player who broke the world transfer record when joining United in a €105m (£89m) fee in 2016. Pogba has not signed another
Rangnick also revealed that he was impressed with what he saw from Pogba in his first training session back since his recovery.
"Paul Pogba had his first day of training with the whole group and he showed what an extraordinary player he could be," Rangnick said. "He won't be available for the two games this week but after the international break against Middlesbrough and Burnley he could be."
The home side were rather comfortable throughout the 90 minutes, with their opponents Samp looking completely out of their depth at the Allianz Stadium.
As you'd expect, it was all Juventus from the first whistle to the last, as the home side dominated possession while Sampdoria could barely string two passes together. Juan Cuadrado caused the visitors particular problems with his movement in and around the penalty area – forcing Wladimiro Falcone into a smart save at his near post in the 15th minute.
Cuadrado got his just rewards for a great first-half performance ten minutes later, as the Colombian drilled a free-kick from just outside the box under the Samp wall, and through the fairly hapless Falcone (it was pretty bad goalkeeping to be honest).
Seconds later, Cuadrado proved to be the catalyst for what Juve thought was their second goal of the evening. The winger squared the ball to Alvaro Morata, who duly converted from inside the penalty with a sweeping shot. However, the goal was disallowed due to a foul from Adrien Rabiot in the build-up.
Falcone went some way to making amends for his earlier mistake by denying Rugani and Morata. The Samp goalkeeper reacted quickly to save an effort on goal from just inside the six-yard box from Rugani, before denying Morata with similar heroics on the stroke of half-time.
The second half was much the same as the first, with Sampdoria being absolutely terrible and Juventus being fairly competent.
Juve deservedly bagged the second goal of the evening on the 50th minute mark, with Rugani rising highest from an Arthur cross to score his first ever Coppa Italia goal.
Despite the home side dominating proceedings, out of absolutely nowhere, Samp pulled a goal back on the hour. The goal came from former Milan man Andrea Conti, who drilled a great volley from the edge of the penalty area past Mattia Perin.
The momentary panic caused by Conti's goal was arrested pretty much immediately by subsitute Paulo Dybala. After Manuel Locatelli stole possession on the edge of Samp's box, the Juve number ten confidently curled the ball into the bottom right corner.
It was 4-1 in the 75th minute, when Dybala converted a penalty kick won by debutant Marley Ake.

Q: $f(x, y)=(x^2-2y^2)e^{-x^2-y^2}$ is bounded I am trying to prove that the function
$$f(x, y)=(x^2-2y^2)e^{-x^2-y^2}$$
has an absolute maximum and minimum on $\mathbb{R}^2$.
I've found the local maximum / minimum ($\frac{1}{e}$ and $\frac{-2}{e}$) but am not sure how to show that they're also the global max/min.

A: $$\frac{d(x^2-2y^2)e^{(-x^2-y^2)}}{dx}=2x(1-x^2+2y^2)e^{(-x^2-y^2)}=0 $$so $$x=0 , x^2-2y^2=1  $$
$$x^2-2y^2=1$$ $$ \frac{1}{e^{(1-3y^2)}}<\frac{1}{e} $$
$$x=0$$
$$-2y^2e^{-y^2}=\frac{-2y^2}{e^{y^2}}>\frac{-2}{e}$$
since:$$(\frac{y^2}{e^{y^2}})^{'}=0$$ gives$$y=0.y=1,y=-1$$

When my daughter Sally turned 8, I bought her a new wooden canoe paddle and burned her name into the blade. With the gift came a promise: In July she and I would take a three-day canoe trip on the river that flows past our house. We hung the paddle over her bed.
"Daddy, why did the lady give you money?" asked my daughter Marie back when she was 5. We had just crossed a toll bridge and Marie was trying to make sense of the transaction at the booth.

Castle Rock 2.07 "The Word" - Review:
I was expecting the show to not display any connection at all between its two seasons when it was announced as an anthology so the biggest surprise was to see the chilling return of Bill Skarsgård's The Kid in the flashbacks, presenting himself as a mysterious Angel that watches over Castle Rock and it's inhabitants. We saw the origins of Ace's cult in the flashbacks, and Ace's plan to use Annie Wilkes as the vessel for a so-called "witch" was fascinating to watch unfold. The show nailed the tone and feel of The Word's flashbacks giving them a sense of eeriness to them that reminded me of not just Salem but also The Witch, one of my favourite horror movies – if not my favourite horror movie, of the last 10 years.
Pop is smart enough to realise that something's not right with Ace when he notices that he has brought people together ranging from Abdi's allies to members of the police under one banner, and although Ace's organisation isn't without dissenters of its own, they are enough to leave Pop a worried man – he gives Abdi the heads up despite Abdi hating him, and it appears Pop has lived long enough in Castle Rock to have experienced some of the stories, and maybe even took part in some of them himself – he recalls the events of the first season and returns to Shawshank Prison to find out the prison cell that used to belong to the Kid in Season one is still there, and it it's still locked from the inside, complete with clothes in the cage.
Bringing Tim Robbins back in such a significant way to the Kingverse has been one of the series' greatest strengths so far, and seeing Robbins back in Shawshank Prison again (remember, he's been there once before playing a different character in The Shawshank Redemption), was a pure delight to cap off an all-round excellent episode that the series writers couldn't resist (I mean, would you be able to if you were in that position?). Not caught up in the trance that affected the rest of the townspeople by the end of the episode at the Church, Pop wondered away – alone, and it's becoming increasingly clear that the only way he's going to stand a chance of surviving the horrors that are affecting Castle Rock are if he reunites with Abdi and Nadia in time. It would be all too predictable if Pop was to earn Abdi and Nadia's redemption by sacrificing himself to save them, so hopefully Castle Rock has something more surprising in store for us.
Annie meanwhile turns herself in to the police when they come for her and Joy following the fallout of the last episode and tries to protect her daughter like she's always been doing. Unaware that she's on a collision course with Ace's cult (Ace's occupant being none other than Amity's lover, Pere Augustin), Annie is still dealing with the fallout of the previous episode. And as ever; it's Lizzy Caplan who brings her A-Game to the table in this episode, even if she plays back seat to the past of Castle Rock and Jerusalem's Lot. If this series has taught me one thing – alongside that of the rest of Stephen King's work, is that I'm never, ever going to visit Maine.
Bringing The Kid back was not the only revelation that we got this episode although it retrospectively answers some questions that we had lingering from Season 1 whilst not shutting doors entirely; is he an Angel? Or is he a demon masquerading as one? It seems more likely that he's the latter in this episode; especially given the actions of Ace's demonic cult. The French colonists of New Jerusalem exiled Amity Lambert – played wonderfully by Mathilde Dehaye, who encountered an Angel on a clifftop that would reshape Castle Rock. Rebelling against their overlords who deem the dead crops finding new life to be more witchcraft; the townsfolk burn them at the stake after the Angel commands it through Amity; and a long and bloody period of the town is launched.
Although Mike Flanagan is getting all the attention and rightly so for adapting multiple Stephen King stories successfully handling both Gerald's Game and Doctor Sleep really well, full credit has to be given to the showrunners Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason for tackling not only Misery but more importantly Salem's Lot without fear and finding common ground to link both storylines under the banner of the first series. Few could have done justice to this storyline, as is evidenced by the dreadful miniseries that most King fans will have already seen, and it ranks at completely the opposite end in terms of quality of his adaptions.
The revelation of the statue at the end of the episode to bear a striking resemblance to that of The Kid showcased its raw power, and if the statue alone could hypnotise so many people, what chance do those immune to him have against the real thing? Pop making a beeline to leave Castle Rock as fast as possible seemed like a good thing to do.
Castle Rock 2.08 "Dirty" - Review:
It's hard to see things in Castle Rock ever being the same. The townsfolk have all been converted into following the Angel statue through on the parade march, and meanwhile both Joy and Annie are being manipulated by Ace who presents himself as a friendly, all-welcoming reformed man. It's true that Ace has reformed; but his intentions for Annie don't quite line up with hers, and it isn't long before Annie discovers the buried secret in the basement beneath the manor house that Ace and his followers have converted – the bodies that are piling up there, and what that means for Ace's plan.
Opening with Leonard Cohen' Avalanche in the first scene, Castle Rock filled the King category of gore, blood and violence. It was foreboding, abliet shorter than the previous episode and worked as a nice character-centric episode for Annie who has been the star of this season no matter how many distractions we've had along the way. Annie confronted dangers both new and old in this episode; as she was haunted by a vision of her mother who tried to follow through on her plans to commit suicide by taking Annie with her, and the show seems to suggest that Annie plans to do something similar with Joy this episode. It's clear that Annie doesn't trust easily and she's already asking questions the moment Ace tries to convince her to stay in Castle Rock, and by switching as Amity's vessel from Annie to Joy this episode was an interesting twist and a welcome one. It gives Annie reason to stick around in Castle Rock of her own motivation and just cause, and having been taken by the statue of The Kid makes things worrying for Joy, especially as we've seen in the past Annie hasn't always made the most well-judged decisions.
The situation in Castle Rock has looked pretty helpless for those unaffected by The Kid's statue and Nadia was on the receiving end of some good news this episode; if you could call it that. Chris tries to attack her and Nadia's drugging him shows that drugs can infect the new vessels and defeat them, bringing the host back from the beyond and giving hope that the people of Castle Rock can be restored after all, even though it's hard to imagine that many citizens returning to their normal forms. There are a few who escaped the call of the Statue, like those bound in hospital beds, but even despite this, it's the first glimmer of hope that the fight is winnable this season. But that said; it creates a further dilemma if old Ace comes back into his body. He represents his own kind of unhinged danger, and represents a problem that may have to be dealt with before the season is out.
Before his turning Chris has always been the best member of the Merrill Family and to see him die trying to save Nadia was one of the more effective moments of the arc so far. His death ramps up Nadia's paranoia and her lack of trust in anyone, and it's hard to imagine that a reconciliation with Pop isn't going to happen before the end of the season. Annie is still lurking about but she has her own motivations and Nadia isn't likely to trust her anytime soon given their history, and vice versa. Out of the two storylines Nadia's is the only thing that's interesting regarding the B-plots, as Annie and Joy's have always remained the most interesting. So putting that back front and centre instead of the vessel plot was a welcome one, even if the writers have taken plenty of care to keep Castle Rock relatively grounded and foreboding despite this.
With just two episodes left, I cannot wait to see how the season wraps up.


It's January 4th, 2015 and after a very long holiday break…I'm here again, my fingers on the keyboard.
So many thoughts rushed through my mind in the last days of 2014, the main ones involved me beating myself up for not meeting all the goals I set for myself and Jackson over the last 12 months.
The day after Christmas I went out for drinks with some friends and ran into an acquaintance I see on Facebook more often than in real life. She said something to me that night that really stuck.
She told me she had just recently separated from her husband, and that 2015 would be the year to love herself and find out who she is. She told me she intended to travel a lot more this year with her children, and that I had inspired her to do so.
I inspired her to do so.
And there I was feeling bummed, thinking I hadn't done enough…and really I'd given someone else the desire to try something new for themselves.
So yeah…no more self pity. 2014 was awesome! Honestly, we did so much. And my hope is to go above and beyond all this for 2015.
We went to Disneyland as a family, and I went solo too!
Jackson went surfing for the very first time.
He also got to touch a baby alligator!
I traveled to the Chicagoland area…and crossed a new state off my list, Michigan!
We took our annual Bluebonnet Photos.
We took a crazy roadtrip across Texas and I saw the Cadillac Ranch (among other things!).
We got into the Holiday spirit at the Zoo Lights.
Looking at this list, I have no idea why I was being so hard on myself. I am also that much more inspired to see what things are in store for this year.
Haley Shivers is the Author and Mom behind Love, Life, Family...Travels. She has one son, Jackson, who is on the severe end of the Autism spectrum.


A large beautiful Medici Society Print of Helena Maguire's painting titled 'Friends All Round', late 20th century in date.
This colourful print features a little girl feeding farm animals through the half-open door of a country cottage.
Add this lovely print to any room of your home.
Helena Maguire (1860-1909) worked in watercolour and specialised in painting pictures of animals and children. She exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1881 and 1902, and also at the New Watercolour Society and the Society of British Artists, Suffolk Street.
The Medici Society Ltd was founded in 1908 by Philip Lee Warner and Eustace Gurney. The company's original aim was to bring artists' work to the appreciation of a wider public through technically cutting edge high-end colour reproductions, with subjects chosen for their artistic value, beauty or sentiment sold "for the lowest price commercially possible".
The name Medici was chosen as a homage to the great Florentine family who did so much to encourage art in the Italian Renaissance. The profile of Lorenzo de' Medici (1449 - 1492), known as Lorenzo the Magnificent, was incorporated into the trade mark.
Initially, the business was run as a society, and members were invited to join and pay a subscription which entitled them to copies of prints as they were published at no extra charge. This structure was later revised and the prints were sold commercially through shops and galleries, but the company retains the Medici Society name to this day. As a result of this comparatively unusual name, many people think that it might be a charitable organisation, but this is not the case. Medici started to publish greeting cards in the 1930s, and some of the artists whose work was published in those days are still in print today.
In 2008 the company sold its greeting card division to the The Great British Card Company, who now publish greeting cards using the name 'Medici' under licence as Medici Cards. However, The Medici Society Ltd continues to publish its Fine Art Reproduction Prints, and to licence out permissions to reproduce our extensive archive of imagery through Mary Evans Picture Library. It also continues to retail cards and prints at Medici Gallery South Kensington and to sell original Fine Art at Medici Gallery in Mayfair.

Retro Review: Yor, the Hunter from the Future
April 29, 2015 Neil Worcester Posts 0
This never happens in the movie, and I'm very sad about that.
Our last film salute to the great (and not so great) caveman genre concludes with Yor, the Hunter from the Future.
We've looked at prehistoric cavemen, modern day cavemen, and now we're going to wrap up with a caveman from the far, far future. Lucky you. Follow us one last time into the land of the lost, as we wrap up caveman month in style.
Yor, the Hunter from the Future (1983)
This never happens in the movie, and I'm very sad about that.
Yor is a blond haired, blue eyed hunter who lives alone on a mountain. One day, while out doing Yor stuff, he sees a beautiful woman and her elderly protector about to become dinosaur food. Yor leaps in and smashes the mixed up triceratops/stegosaurus hybrid in the face with his Yor axe (an enchanted weapon, as no matter how many times we see him drop it, he magically has it again in the next scene.)
The woman, Kala, and the geezer, Pag, invite Yor to join their tribe. At the feast, the village elder tells Yor that his medallion is similar to one worn by a reclusive goddess who lives in the wasteland with a tribe of mutated fire-worshipers. The three friends resolve to go there, but are interrupted by a group of blue skinned cavemen who attack the feast, kill the men, and run of with the women.
Yor and Pag regroup and head off to get Kala back so they can discover more about Yor's strange medallion, and his heroic destiny (which mostly involves bringing death and destruction to everyone he meets.)
Yor the Best!
Now that would be a party!
Yor is like The Beastmaster, without the benefit of Marc Singer's abs and Don Coscarelli's flair for gonzo monster movies. Reb Brown does an able rendition of an 80's fantasy hero, with his long golden locks, ability to do mildly entertaining high kicks, and overabundance of enthusiasm. I kind of wonder if Sam Jones (Flash Gordon,) Marc Singer (The Beastmaster,) Dolph Lundgren (Masters of the Universe) and Reb Brown ever grab a beer together and reminisce about their glory days. I would pay to see that.
Looks legit.
The animatronic dinosaurs are pretty good for a foreign B-Movie flick. Sure, the baby stego-ceratops looks like somebody put horns on a pissed off possum, but the mama dino certainly looks fearsome enough. The different tribes who Yor brings unintended destruction to are all distinct and well-realized. When the movie makes the jump from Fantasy to Sci-Fi, the laser blasts and robots look decent as well…
…wait…robots and lasers? What the hell kinda movie are they making here!?
Yor the Worst!
Artistic merit is for sissies!
The director of this film seems to have been unable to decide if he'd rather be cribbing notes from Flash Gordon (1980) or The Beastmaster (1982) so he said to hell with it, we'll do them both. Yor discovers his amulet is the mark of citizenry for an advanced enclave of fair-haired people who control some serious technology, and that he was exiled from this race as a boy in order to save his life.
Turns out an evil Overlord (named Overlord, for simplicity's sake) has taken control of the island of Swedish descendants and created an army of killer androids to enslave them all. You see, this isn't the ancient past, and apparently the title of the film wasn't screwing with us: a nuclear war reduced men and beasts back to their default factory settings, with only a scant few still possessing any technology. This pisses Yor off, who sets out to magic axe Overlord, and free his people.
Oh, so THAT'S how you hold these things. No wonder storm troopers couldn't hit anything!
What was a decently respectable caveman movie gets all hopped up on Star Wars, with red and green lasers flying left and right. Despite not knowing much more than how to swing his axe (always blunt side first, cause stuntmen are people too!) Yor is able to fire a blaster with deadly precision on his first try. Add in some ludicrous acrobatics, logic defying forbearance on the part of the murderous warlord, and one hell of a lucky spear throw at a moving elevator, and you get a second act that checks its credibility at the door and decides to go full throttle insanity till the conclusion!
Kicking Rocks
George Lucas' lawyers for you, sir, line one.
Yor manages to find the sweet spot of so-bad-its-kinda-good. Sure, the sudden switch in genre is baffling, but the films makes up for the silliness by adding a metric-ton of action into the last half-hour. The acting is passable, though Overlord tries to chew way too much scenery. You're not Max Von Sydow, buddy, calm it down a notch! If you want a B-Movie cult classic that manages to mix dinosaurs, loincloths, and death rays, Yor has got you covered. Now if only it came complete with a bitching 80's hair metal theme, specially made for the movie…
Oh…I see. You've got that covered too! Well done, Yor!
No, seriously, click the link to the song, it will blow your mind!

When Washington State has the ball:Coach Mike Leach has been a passing pioneer with his "Air Raid" offense, a no-huddle system which runs out of the shotgun and uses a number of crossing routes over the middle of the field. WSU scores 31.4 points a game and led the Pac-12 in time of possession at 33:11. The Cougars rank second in the nation and led the Pac-12 at 374.8 passing yards per game, with QB Luke Falk 15th in FBS with 3,593 passing yards. Falk has 30 touchdowns to 13 interceptions and has completed 357 of 534 passes (66.9 percent). His top two receivers are both running backs, sophomore James Williams (61 catches, 417 yards, three TDs) and senior Jamal Morrow (56 catches, 479 yards, five touchdowns). However, the Cougars ranked last in the Pac-12 at 71.7 rushing yards per game. MSU is ninth in FBS in total defense (297.8 yards per game) and 24th in points allowed per game (20.3). The strength of its defense is stopping the run, as it ranks fifth in the country at 101.3 yards per game and 16th in third-down conversion defense (31.9 percent). The Spartans' pass defense has been exposed at times this season by crossing routes and the unit ranks 31st in the FBS at 196.5 passing yards allowed a game.

Alison urges Prime Minister to implement a Hillsborough Law
Alison McGovern MP sends letter to the Prime Minister, urging support for 'Hillsborough Law' to assist Grenfell.
On Friday, Alison McGovern MP sent a letter to the Prime Minister, expressing cross-party support for 'Hillsborough Law', the Public Authority (Accountability) Bill, to assist the Grenfell public inquiry.
The letter comes with a reminder to the Prime Minister that she has 'argued that it is priority for her government to tackle 'burning injustices' within our society and the Grenfell fire serves as a stark reminder that this issue goes beyond the suffering of the Hillsborough families'. There can be no injustice more cruel or painful than the experience of the Hillsborough families and that of the families of other victims of public disasters who have been treated in an appalling way by public bodies and by the legal system.
It is the hope of Alison McGovern MP and many others who have signed the letter including Andy Burnham, Len McCuskey, Professor Phil Scraton and Margaret Humphry's, to make good commitment, support the measures contained within this Bill, and take a vital first step towards changing the culture by improving justice and accountability for public bodies in our country.

« Library Lust
Library Loot: November 4 to 10 »
Like the Child in Robert Louis Stevenson's Fable
November 3, 2020 by Claire (The Captive Reader)
I promised to share more from the superb Love in the Blitz by Eileen Alexander, a collection of letters written by Alexander during the war to her future husband, following the first one. So here we go – a delightful account of Alexander's first and far from hum-drum encounter with working life.
Through family connections, she found herself filling in during the 1939 Christmas holidays in the office of Leslie Hore-Belisha, the Secretary of State for War. She derides his staff as 'Public Adorers', devoted to him, but it's not hard to see where that devotion could come from – Alexander is clearly fond of him after just the one meeting, though less fond of the Public Adorer who comes to interrupt it so Hore-Belisha can shift his focus once more to the war:
I've had a most fantastic day, darling, which is a Good Thing, because there's been no time for my imagination to sit on brood (a lovely expression, I've always felt – and from one of my best-known plays too).
Miss Sloane introduced me to her underling – a Miss Fox, whose underling I am to be (and damn me if she isn't a fully fledged Public Adorer as well! This thing is becoming a cult – but I'm pledged to it now and there is no escape).
Then Miss Sloane said, 'I think Mr Hore-Belisha wants to see you,' and she flung open the double doors – and there I was in his room. That was at three – at three-five he'd already found out why I love Malory – at 3.10 he was asking me what position the Jews held in Mediaeval Society (if any) and at 3.15 – I was giving him a lecture on Chivalric Love Poetry, and religious mania as exemplified in the 'Book of Margery Kempe'. He just sat and nodded all the while – and then he sighed and said, 'My dear, you must come in and read me some of these things. I feel like the child in Robert Louis Stevenson's fable – everyone laughed at him for playing with toys – and so he put them away in a cupboard, saying that he'd play with them again when he was grown-up and no-one would dare laugh at him, then – and then he forgot all about them. You have opened the cupboard for me, and I have caught a glimpse of the things I had forgotten. Please come and read to me sometimes.'
It was very beautiful, darling – and then the crash came. PA No. 1, who had been standing by chafing all things while, now bustled busily forward. 'Certainly, certainly,' she said briskly, more in anger than in sorrow, 'Eileen will be glad to read to you when we've got rid of the war – but you've got to see the Prime Minister in five minutes – and you put off Lady Dawson of Penn,' (Leslie here interjected irritably, 'Damn the woman' and PA No. 1 looked as shocked as a PA can permit herself to look) 'so as we could go through the points of your interview together' – (glowering at me) 'and we haven't.' Whereat she seized me by the shoulder and pushed me out – shutting the door with a determined click. Not So Beautiful. (14 December 1939)

Really, Claire, you're adding to my library holds by leaps and bounds. And this one has no waiting list, so it should pop up in a few days.
Like you, I'm happy there is a pause button on the holds, till I'm ready. But sometimes I forget to press pause after ordering the book, and up it pops. For example, I have two Denise Minas on the way. But really, I don't think I can take that much of her dark and gritty world at once. And sometimes, some inactive book holds seem to put themselves into the active list, and surprise me by saying, "I'm ready for pickup. Come and get me."

I'm delighted you'll be checking this out! I'm a bit offended on its behalf that there is no queue for it – it's too good not to be in demand!


Padatik Natya Sangsad (TSC) will stage their much-acclaimed play 'Gohonjatra' today at 7 pm at the National Theatre Hall of Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy (BSA) in the Segun Bagicha of the capital.
The play has been penned down by Rubayet Ahmed and directed by Sudip Chakraborty, while the hour-long monologue is enacted by Shamsi Ara Syka. The story of the play evolves around the dangers of intolerance, violence, global political dynamics and the universal aspiration for peace and freedom.
In the story of the play, extremism grows in one place of a country.
The followers of the extremism negate the existing ideologies and indulge in destruction and violence.

University of Alaska Southeast Joins Open Textbook Network in Support of Affordable Course Content for Students
The University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) has joined the Open Textbook Network (OTN), an organization which assists universities and colleges to promote the use of open textbooks and practices.
Juneau, Ketchikan, Sitka, Alaska
Date of Press Release: August 1, 2019
The University of Alaska Southeast (UAS) has joined the Open Textbook Network (OTN), an organization which assists universities and colleges to promote the use of open textbooks and practices. OTN maintains the Open Textbook Library, "the premiere resource for peer-reviewed academic textbooks," according to their website. Textbooks and materials through this service are free, licensed openly, and complete, promoting both academic freedom and student success.
Participation in the OTN is funded by the Title III Complete to Compete program, which is run out of the UAS Sitka Campus. Title III is a program of the U.S. Department of Education which allows institutions of higher education to increase self-sufficiency capacity to serve low-income students, providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional management, and fiscal stability of eligible institutions.
"Our grant project has a goal of reducing the costs of education, including textbook costs, so we are excited to help faculty gain access to peer-reviewed resources. The federal Department of Education Title III grants help institutions support underserved student populations, including Alaska Native and rural Alaskan students. We believe that OTN will help UAS better serve all of our students, and we are excited to collaborate with Egan Library on this project," noted David Felts, Manager of the Student Services and the Title III Program at UAS Sitka.
Using the service enables faculty to choose which course materials are appropriate for their students. The OTN provides faculty ratings and comments for their content to help with the selection. The service results in significant savings for students by decreasing the need to purchase books and other materials. For the most part, the books are delivered and used online, however faculty reserve the option for printing at a significantly reduced price compared to traditional textbooks. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the price of textbooks has risen more than 1,000 percent between 1997 and 2015, and 87.5% since 2006.
"By joining the Open Textbook Network, UAS is acknowledging the need to add Open Educational Resources (OER) to our student success toolkit. OTN workshops will increase faculty awareness of OER and engage them in necessary conversations about college affordability, access and equity. Students simply can't learn from course materials they can't afford. The work underway at UAS to increase faculty awareness and use of Open Educational Resources (OER) is complementary to the guiding values of excellence and access at the heart of the UAS Strategic Plan and mission," according to Jonas Lamb, librarian lead for "Open UAS," a textbook affordability and Open Educational Resources (OER) initiative of the UAS Egan Library and the Center for Excellence in Learning and Teaching (CELT).
UAS Library Dean Elise Tomlinson added, "The Egan Library began promoting and supporting faculty in the use of OER in 2016 as part of our Teaching and Learning Program. Since that time the library has taken the lead in this area providing workshops for faculty, organizing outreach and awareness events with students and in the process has saved 1000 UAS students more than $90,000 on required textbooks through the use of OER and library materials. Free and low-cost textbook alternatives are an effective student success strategy supported by research indicating a strong correlation between cost of attendance and student retention."

But, to be honest, our REAL motivation is to campaign her in sailing regattas in the Southern Caribbean!
How to get started? Well, our sailing school took sailing classes. But not just any classes – we attended a five-day racing clinic with J World Performance Sailing School in Annapolis. During that time, we were able to compete against 20 other J105 in an actual regatta. We were able to polish our skills in rounding the mark, balancing the helm, and timing the start. Communication and teamwork are crucial.
Our first regatta was Grenada Sailing Week 2018. This is a week of sailing and rum squalls including a pirate part on a lay day. On the first day, we got a slow start even with the 20-knot wind on the windward side. The foredeck crew was hanging on by there fingernails AND toenails! At one point, we "shrimped" the spinnaker during a set when a blast of wind ripped it off the boat. It didn't stop us, it only slowed us down. When the race moved over to the lee side of the island, the wind died. Which, surprisingly, was to our benefit – we got first and third on the last days. We were ecstatic!
The Team loaded up the 30 ft. boat with t-shirts, rum, trophies and rum and raced back to Grenada. The glow from the winners streaked behind the wake like a phosphorescence wave. Well done, team. Well done. See ya on the water!

Walt Whitman's Secret: A Novel

Gertrude Stein's definitive skewering of Ezra Pound—"He was a village explainer, excellent if you were a village, but if you were not, not"—applies to an earlier American epic poet as well. The Walt Whitman of this novel (Pound would claim imaginative kinship with him in 1916) was trafficking in the same line of goods—the egotistical sublime—a few decades earlier. Not satisfied with having written an epic-length poem entitled "Song of Myself," as well as many another poems on the same inexhaustibly interesting subject, Whitman spent his last years burnishing his image. Enfeebled by strokes, yet continuing to write, Whitman found a number of admirers (among them Richard M. Bucke of the asylum in London, Ontario), both in the United States and elsewhere, who happily made the pilgrimage to his small residence in Camden, New Jersey. The most diligent and inexhaustible was Horace Traubel, a man with an endless capacity for listening to and recording his hero's abundant outpourings. His character forms the principal narrator of Fetherling's novel.
During his prime years, Whitman fused his personal focus with his direct, encyclopedic cataloguing of the America of his time. Later, his was a leading genius in defining the Civil War as a moral crusade giving birth to a new America in which that "new birth of freedom" that Lincoln spoke of would be forever evolving. He found in Abraham Lincoln a figure who fulfilled his democratic ideal (and a martyr as well). Whitman, in those last years, perfected an annual performance ritual in which he re-enacted a personal drama featuring an idealized relationship between himself and his idol, whom he had only glimpsed from afar. Their closeness increased with every successive re-enactment, attracting wide and celebrity-laden audiences until Whitman's death.
Walt Whitman's Secret deals with its subject's final phase, a period when the poet's growing self-obsession could be matched only by the attention devoted to him by such acolytes as Bucke and Traubel. Bravely, Fetherling has tied his own hands. How can a novelist dramatize a period when a life has shrunk into the solipsistic?
When Oscar Wilde (a Whitman admirer) observed that "to fall in love with oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance," he was not only defining in passing the subject matter of Whitman's lifelong poem. He was also implying that such a romance may not prove as gripping to others as to oneself. How many toasts to "My Good Health" can an audience endure from a banquet speaker?
The author glues Whitman's lover Doyle to the fringes of the John Wilkes Booth conspiracy.
Fetherling wrings what he can from the devotions of the acolytes whom I have mentioned. Their attentions were untiring to the point of hero worship. Thus Bucke placed the poet at the centre of what he called "cosmic consciousness," within a pantheon including Buddha, Jesus, Paul, Plotinus, Muhammad, Dante, Francis Bacon and William Blake. Even though the four evangelists considered a volume apiece adequate space for summing up the character and mission of Jesus, Traubel filled nine volumes with his rapt recordings of his subject's thoughts on absolutely everything. Excellent if you were a cultist, but if you were not, not.
How, a reader asks, can narrative vigour be pumped into such material? Something more must feed a reader's interest. This Fetherling supplies through the character of Peter Doyle, the streetcar conductor and the one among Whitman's lovers about whom we know the most. Drama and irony enter this novel when the author glues Doyle to the fringes of the Booth conspiracy against Abraham Lincoln.
Our present-day fluid sense of genre boundaries means that historical fiction can easily swerve into fantasy, as is the case here. Even a reader at ease with this swerve, however, needs to know more about the Peter Doyle who surfaces and plays such a role in a novel called Walt Whitman's Secret. Doyle was a working-class Irish-American of his time and place. Was he what the Irish call a bit of a boyo? Did he have his problems with booze? When did he out himself? Was Whitman his first male lover? What was Doyle's relationship with that brooding, inescapable, all-seeing Irish God whose most abundant gift to his followers is bottles of guilt? You don't have to be Eugene O'Neill to make up a rip-roaring history for this man, and doing so would have markedly spiced this novel.
Besides, present-day readers acquainted with the 9/11 "truthers" would relish a fictional account of the Booth conspiracy, which demonstrates that a very successful terrorist strike can be cobbled together with the inept, the insane and misfits in general. The ironies, inconsistencies and logical gaps in the Booth conspiracy—and the vengeance exacted upon those swept along by it—instruct us that you do not need a vaster, even more improbable, hypothetical conspiracy in order to explain the working model that actually exists before you. Certainly the streetcar worker needs sure and detailed placement among a crowd whose convener broke his leg because he was more intent on uttering a florid, theatrical apostrophe than upon landing properly from a broad jump. In an incident where a neck brace worn by the actual secretary of state was the only thing saving him from a slit throat, the novelist has a lot of room in which to heighten our sense of the context in which a major character found himself. And the anguish that a fact so monstrous as a lover's participation in a modern-day crucifixion might be expected to provoke in a sensitive figure like Whitman never quite comes alive in these pages.
My own secret about Walt Whitman is that his personal appeal does not need to be rescued from dry-as-dust historical chroniclers. Such historical monographs as Robert Roper's Now the Drum of War and Roy Morris Jr.'s The Better Angel are two of a number of books that have relocated Whitman within the passion and pathos of the Civil War. They outline a tortured personality far more raunchy, riven and desperate than the myth-making monologist occupying Walt Whitman's Secret. The jacket photograph of Whitman shows the Good Gray Poet of Whitman's (self-constructed) legend. Better and livelier would be that rude frontiersman who surfaces quite by chance in a Harper's Magazine artist's depiction of a field-kitchen lineup after the battle of Chancellorsville. (Whitman had journeyed there to nurse his wounded brother.) Pity that the novelist chose to focus upon the aged monologist, ignoring an earlier, dialogical Whitman torn apart by the war. Whitman would later sculpt that war—the real one that he claimed would never get into the books—into a vehicle for his own sentimental self-heroicizing. That act became Whitman's very open secret.

Wayne Kramer (Running Scared, The Cooler) is developing a dark comedy called Pawn Shop Chronicles, and he's been able to pull together a hell of a good cast that includes Matt Dillon, Brendan Fraser, Elijah Wood, Vincent D'Onofrio, Pell James, Thomas Jane, Lukas Haas, Chi McBride, Ashlee Simpson, Kevin Rankin, DJ Qualls, Michael Cudlitz, and Norman Reedus.
This is a superbly written mind-bender of a story that grabs you from the first line, and doesn't let go. We are incredibly fortunate to have found Wayne Kramer to present it, and equally thrilled with the diverse and talented cast assembled.
This is a hillbilly Pulp Fiction, fast-moving and action-packed. It's also very funny. It's got all these elements to really pack a punch.
Fred Durst was attached to direct the movie at one point, but I guess that didn't really work out. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.


Saddle Thrombosis is most often seen in cats but rarely in dogs. It is a thromboembolism and occurs when an aortic blood clot travels and lodges where the aorta branches out to the back legs. The clot blocks the flow of blood. The blockage is called an embolism.
Saddle Thrombosis is usually seen when there is a serious underlying heart condition. Neoplasia (abnormal growths), thyroid disease and pulmonary carcinoma can also be the culprits.
Thromboembolism is most commonly seen in cats with cardiomyopathy. Thrombi (clots) are mainly found in the left atrium or left auricle of the heart. One of the biggest risk factors is an enlarged left atrial chamber.
Arterial Thromboembolism is seen in male cats more often than females although heart disease is more common in males.
Cats with Saddle Thrombosis are in great pain. One of the first things your vet will do is inject medication to relieve the pain.
Symptoms can be excessive panting with the cat unable to move. Back legs become cold due to loss of blood flow and nails are pale in color.
Early detection of heart disease can be difficult unless a cardiac ultrasound or EKG are performed although they are not always conclusive. And they are expensive tests to do as part of a checkup.
Treatment involves hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) where the cat will receive oxygen and medications to support the heart and dissolve the blood clot. The cat will also undergo further testing. Surgery to remove the clot is an option, but may not be successful due to the cat's heart condition. If caught early enough, treatment may result in success restoring the cat's ability to use his/her hind legs.
Sadly, prognosis is very poor with Saddle Thrombosis. It's extremely difficult to manage at home and will need continuous monitoring. Euthanasia may be the kindest option.

Demo-Graphics: The State of "Gamers" 2014
Posted on August 11, 2014 by Brett	Leave a comment
It's Monday and we're looking at the latest Facebook Fandom breakdown. It's been a year since I did a report about "gamers" in the lead up to Gen Con. So, welcome to the "first" annual State of Gamers.
This data is gained through mining Facebook and includes over 160 different terms from a variety of games, publishers, and more. The terms I used are varied, and many, from the name of games to the name of publishers and terms like collectible card game. For this I did my best to stay away from generic terms for genres (like Fantasy) and terms that specifically mentioned video games. I also avoided games like Monopoly or Scategories, I wanted to focus on the games you'd find at Gen Con.
We'll compare this report to last year's, but much has changed since then. The terms used have changed as well as improvements to Facebook's algorithm and system. So, changes may be due to that, and not due to general gains in the industry.
Facebook Population: Over 24,000,000 in the United States
The fandom for board games it would seem is about the same as the general comic fan population, whose size we got the same way. Since last year the population has increased by about 14 million, though that's mostly the changes in Facebook algorithm.
Spanish speakers account for now 2.6 million fans, 10.83% in the United States.
In 2013 Men dominated as the majority with 61.54%. Things have changed since then as men now account for 55% of the population and women make up 44.17%.
We'll next look at how the percentage of women and men break down through age.
Compared to last year, the percentages of the population has shifted much older, especially women. Here's the above data in its raw form.
This statistic has changed a lot since last year with many more options available to choose from. The percentages have shifted to the new categories, but it's not easy to compare the two. What has stood out to me in the new stats is the amount of women divorced or separated, but there's an even greater number married compared to the men.
And for those that like pie charts.
Like relationships, the education choices have expanded, so it's difficult to compare it to last year.
Gender Interest
This category too has expanded with more choices than ever before. But, compared to last year, it looks like there's been a slight decrease in those interested in the same sex.

DBKL Bans Liquor Sales In Marts, Grocers, Medicinal Halls In Kuala Lumpur
NewsDBKL Bans Liquor Sales In Marts, Grocers, Medicinal Halls In Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) has imposed a ban on the sale of liquor at grocers, convenience stores, and Chinese medicinal shops starting 1 November.
In a statement, DBKL said customers can still purchase beer at such premises, but they can only be sold from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.
The ban was first announced by DBKL last November and was supposed to start on 1 October this year, but it was temporarily suspended for a study DBKL was conducting.
Source: China Press
On 30 September, the Federal Territories Minister, Shahidan Kassim said the rules were put on hold for a month to allow discussion with stakeholders.
"All relevant parties have expressed their views and concerns on this matter." DBKL said in the statement.
"After considering the views of all the parties involved, DBKL has decided to streamline and refine the existing guidelines."
"The new guidelines and conditions for applications for liquor licences are effective from 1 November and must be complied with by all parties involved in this industry."
The new guidelines also said that business owners must prepare a separate display space and sales area for beer and this must be locked or barred after the allowed time for the sales of beer.
As for Chinese medicine halls, the sale of mixed or pure liquor for medicinal purposes must obtain the approvals from the Health Ministry.
The ban came under fire from opposition lawmakers and civil society after it was announced last year, due to concerns over the violation of the rights of non-Muslims.
