Liberal PAC Urges Donors To 'Take Out' Republican Congressman Who Survived Being Shot Last Year
By: The Federalist Staff
A liberal group is raising money to put up a billboard with a message to 'take out' Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), who survived being shot while practicing at a baseball field in Alexandria last June.
The Federalist Staff
A liberal group is raising money to put up a billboard to "take out" Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), who survived being shot while practicing at a baseball field in Alexandria last June.
The homepage of Mad Dog PAC's website has a photo of the proposed billboard with a link asking site-goers for donations. The liberal group is the same organization behind a billboard with the message "IMPEACHMENT NOW" along the motorcade route to Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.
The PAC also sells shirts that read "The NRA is a terrorist organization" for $30 and denim jackets with the group's logo for $200 apiece.
On June 14, 2017, Scalise and several other Republican congressmen were practicing for the upcoming annual congressional baseball game at a field in Alexandria, Virginia, when a gunman opened fire on the members and shot Scalise in the hip. Before opening fire, the shooter asked for the baseball players' party identification, and identified with far-left politicians and causes. For weeks after the shooting, Scalise's recovery was uncertain.
Mad Dog PAC chairman Claude Taylor told The Ledger that his group was planning to "toss mortars" at the other side.
"People know that President Trump is a crook, and we're going to do something about it," Taylor said. "We are tossing mortars at the other side. We're not offering policy prescriptions. We're attack dogs; that's what we're here for."
In 2011, The New York Times editorial board falsely claimed Sarah Palin had caused a shooting at a campaign event for Democratic Rep. Gabby Giffords after Palin's PAC posted a picture of several Democratic representatives' districts inside gun sights. Although it was never proven that shooter had ever seen the map, pundits bashed Palin about it, as Mollie Hemingway noted last summer:
Andrew Sullivan, then at the The Atlantic, wrote 'No one is saying Sarah Palin should be viewed as an accomplice to murder. Many are merely saying that her recklessly violent and inflammatory rhetoric has poisoned the discourse and has long run the risk of empowering the deranged. We are saying it's about time someone took responsibility for this kind of rhetorical extremism, because it can and has led to violence and murder.'
Writing in The New York Times, Matt Bai said Palin and others used 'imagery of armed revolution. Popular spokespeople like Ms. Palin routinely drop words like 'tyranny' and 'socialism' when describing the president and his allies, as if blind to the idea that Americans legitimately faced with either enemy would almost certainly take up arms.'
MSNBC used a graphic that said 'Power of Words' with an image of Loughner, suggesting that conservative rhetoric was responsible for the shooting.

Just For You Fashions at Cedar Hill Cross Road and Finlayson Road is organizing a Fashion Show Luncheon Fundraiser for a refugee family on April 6 at Emmanuel Baptist Church, 2121 Cedar Hill Cross Rd. (Just For You flyer)
Victoria fashion show to benefit refugee family
West African family stuck in asylum for 14 years
A group of Victoria residents have come together to sponsor a West African family of five who have lived in asylum in Hong Kong for the past 14 years since they abruptly left their native country amid political upheaval.
Local Bob Furber says he can't divulge much about the family other than which country they lived in, and that they had to leave quickly, fearing for their lives.
"It's a shame because they have a very poignant story to tell, one people should hear."

In the meantime, the sponsor group has raised $41,000 of the $53,000 it needs by July, 31, enough to support the family during its first year in Canada.
To help reach that goal, Jackie Grooms of Just For You Fashion store in Victoria is holding a Spring Fashion Show Luncheon on April 6, followed by a jewelry and fashion accessories sale.
Tickets are $30 to the show and proceeds will go to bringing the refugee family to Canada.
"Just For You Fashions is proud to be part of the fundraiser to help sponsor an African refugee family coming to Victoria," said Grooms. "In the past we have contributed to other fundraisers in this community and we are excited to be asked to be part of this important event.
"We truly hope this event will raise funds for this worthy cause."
Initially, the West African family were evacuated to Hong Kong for their safety 14 long years ago, and though they've since learned English they are not permitted to work or travel. As such, the family relies on the charity of others to meet their most basic needs and they desperately wish to become self-sufficient, said Furber.
Two of the children are still without citizenship, further complicating their status.
The sponsor group partnered with the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria for guidance, and as of September, the family's application, submitted by the sponsorship group, has been acknowledged by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada and also in Hong Kong.
The fashion luncheon is at noon on April 6 at the Emmanuel Baptist Church, 2121 Cedar Hill Cross Rd. Tickets are $30, available online at victoriarefugeesponsorship.org/tickets.html. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for the silent auction items. There's also door prize tickets. The show is followed by a jewelry and fashion accessories jumble sale at 2:30 p.m.
Reserved seating for groups is available by contacting Debbie@VictoriaRefugeeSponsorship.org.

A Look At La Liga's New Boys
by David on July 13, 2011
Two Andalusian derbies will return to La Liga as we look at the three newly promoted sides which include football royalty from Seville and a bolt of lightning from Madrid.
Sevilla will welcome their regally endorsed cross-town rivals Betis back to the Liga when they meet at the Estadio Benito Villamarín on the first day of the new season.
In his first campaign as Verdiblancos coach, former Betis striker José 'Pepe' Mel led the 1935 champions back to the top flight after a two-year absence. Rubén Castro and Jorge Molina provided 45 goals together as the one-time Champions League entrants secured an 11th promotion to the elite, and a sixth second-tier championship.
From Vallecas in the Madrid suburbs, Rayo (literally 'lightning') have traditionally yo-yoed between the top two divisions, but because of recent financial problems they spent four seasons in the third tier in the 2000s. S
Second in the promotion race in 2010/11, the team generally regarded as the third-biggest capital side now return to the Liga after an eight-year gap. They do so as one of four Madrid clubs, along with Real Madrid, Club Atlético de Madrid and Getafe.
The 2001 UEFA Cup quarter-finalists, who were founded in 1924, have lost key defender Coke to Sevilla and will be keen to strike a deal for Emiliano Armenteros, who scored 20 goals last term while on loan from the same team.
The Sevilla-Betis game will not be the only Andalusian derby in the Liga, with Granada's re-entry to the elite after a 35-year absence lining them up for two meetings with their nearest neighbours, Málaga.
El Graná were playing in the third level of Spanish football two years ago, yet completed their upward surge by overcoming Elche CF in a promotion play-off. Odion Jude Ighalo got the goal that clinched promotion, and the Nigerian is one of a number of players loaned to Granada from Serie A club Udinese.
Formed in 1931, Granada have previously enjoyed 18 seasons in the Liga, earning a highest position of sixth on two occasions: 1971–72 and 1973–74.

Joining in the brrreeeport posting fun started by Scoble. A few days ago he posted about the misleading numbers search engines (such as Google) seem to show.
When I search Google for "brrreeeport" I get "about 23,400" results from Google. If I click through to the end of the results it only goes to page 40 (394 results). That page says "In order to show you the most relevant results, we have omitted some entries very similar to the 394 already displayed." When you click the link to show more of the results it allows you to go to page 98 (977 results).
What the heck, Google? Yahoo shows 1,830 results. How on earth can two search engines have such a huge difference in numbers? Makes me wonder how many pages they REALLY have indexed. Google claims something like 8 billion. Yeah, right.

Calvin Johnson Scores Three Touchdowns As Lions Down Redskins, 37-25
By Sean Yuille Oct 31, 2010, 5:21pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Calvin Johnson Scores Three Touchdowns As Lions Down Redskins, 37-25
After a half of football today, the Lions looked like they were in some trouble. Although the defense was playing extremely well, shutting down the Redskins' offense for the most part, Matthew Stafford was very rusty and the offense couldn't do much of anything. It was only a 13-7 game in favor of Washington, but the Lions needed to get it going offensively in the second half.
Thankfully, that is exactly what they did. In the second half, Stafford shook off the rust and started playing like the quarterback we know he can be. The Lions were moving the ball on offense, putting up points, and most importantly, continuing to play pretty well on defense. This solid effort on both sides of the ball ultimately gave the Lions a lead late in the game, and they sealed the win when Ndamukong Suh picked up a fumble and took it to the house for a touchdown. The emphatic TD put the Lions on top by a score of 37-25, which is what the final ended up being.
The first quarter of this game was a punt fest with an interception thrown in. Neither team could do much of anything offensively, and the one time the Lions got into position to score, Matthew Stafford threw a bad pass and was picked off in the end zone.
In the second quarter, the Lions finally got a spark when Stefan Logan returned a punt 71 yards to the Washington 19-yard line. Stafford found Calvin Johnson for a 13-yard touchdown a few plays later, putting the Lions on top, 7-0. Unfortunately, Washington got a spark of its own on the ensuing kickoff, getting a big return. Donovan McNabb then scrambled for a gain of 36 on the next play, setting up a six-yard pass to Ryan Torain for a touchdown.
In the rest of the second quarter, Washington added two field goals, one from 38 yards out and another from 46 yards out. Before the 38-yard kick, Alphonso Smith dropped an interception that would have been an easy touchdown, costing the Lions a big swing in momentum. Also, before Washington took over and ended up kicking the 46-yard field goal, Stafford misfired on a pass downfield that could have been a touchdown to Calvin Johnson. As a result, Detroit trailed at halftime, 13-7.
In the third quarter, it was back to a punt fest early on, with both teams against struggling to move the ball on offense. Detroit finally got things moving after the two teams traded punts, though. The Lions got good field position and marched down the field, scoring on a two-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Brandon Pettigrew.
After a lengthy Redskins drive stalled and they had to punt, Detroit got the ball and appeared to have something going again. On third and 10, Nate Burleson caught a pass and picked up 25 yards, but just like last week, he fumbled. This time he simply had the ball punched out from behind and London Fletcher recovered it for Washington.
Going into the fourth quarter, the two teams traded punts again, but Washington's offensive funk finally ended when McNabb found Anthony Armstrong for 35 yards. The Redskins already had good field position, and the long pass set up a five-yard touchdown run two plays later. Just like that, the Lions were down, 19-14.
The Lions quickly answered in what suddenly became a back-and-forth affair, going down the field in only six plays and scoring on a seven-yard pass from Stafford to Calvin Johnson. Detroit got good field position thanks to a 37-yard kick return by Jerome Felton -- yes, Jerome Felton (they kicked it short and he took it to the Washington 47) -- and moved the ball thanks in part to Kevin Smith, who played very well on this drive.
Detroit's lead didn't last long, because Brandon Banks took the ensuing kick back 96 yards for a touchdown. He had a touchdown on a kick return called back earlier in the game because of a penalty, but there were no flags on this one and the Redskins were back up, leading 25-20 (the two-point conversion was no good).
The Lions failed to answer on the next drive, having to punt, but Alphonso Smith made up for his dropped interception earlier in the game by picking off a McNabb pass on the second play of the next drive. The pick gave the Lions the ball at the Washington 37 and set them up for a 10-yard, go-ahead touchdown from Stafford to Calvin Johnson. The play came on fourth and one and was very clutch by both Stafford and Johnson, as it gave the Lions a 28-25 lead (the two-point conversion was good).
After the Redskins went four and out, the Lions got the ball back and went into run-out-the-clock mode, forcing the Redskins to use their timeouts. The Lions couldn't put the game away with a first down, but Jason Hanson made a 32-yard kick to put Detroit up six points.
The game was put away on the first play of the Redskins' next drive. Rex Grossman came in at quarterback for some reason, and on his first play of the season he was sacked by Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril. The ball came loose and Ndamukong Suh was there to pick it up and return it 17 yards for a touchdown. Suh started celebrating the score about seven yards away from the end zone, which could have resulted in a turnover, but Santana Moss bounced right off him when he tried to make the tackle. As the picture above shows, Suh was laughing at Moss' weak effort to make the tackle, because he just kept on chugging right along into the end zone.
Suh's touchdown made the final score 37-25 in favor of Detroit (they went for two again and didn't get it). It was an all-around great game to watch, because the defense was lights out for all but a drive here or there and the offense finally got it going in the second half, which was nice to see.
On offense, Matthew Stafford had an excellent day after a slow start, going 26 of 45 for 212 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. His favorite target was Calvin Johnson, who had nine catches, 101 yards and a career-high three touchdowns. On the ground, Kevin Smith ran the ball for 51 yards on 12 rushes and Jahvid Best had 48 yards on 12 rushes. Both played well and we may have witnessed the formation of a solid one-two punch with Smith and Best.
On defense, the D-line was the definition of domination. Kyle Vanden Bosch, Cliff Avril and Ndamukong Suh each had two sacks, making life miserable for Donovan McNabb (and for Rex Grossman on one play). While there were a couple drives where they made mistakes, the defense deserves a lot of credit for keeping things close when the offense was struggling. They bought the offense time to get things in order, and once that happened the Lions were able to take over and win this game.
Next week, the Lions face possibly their toughest test of the season when the Jets come to town. New York had its five-game winning streak snapped today by the Packers in a 9-0 loss, so they are certainly beatable. It will be a tough game for sure, but as the Lions showed today, both the offense and defense seem to be clicking right now. Hopefully in a battle between Matthew Stafford and Mark Sanchez, it is Stafford that comes out victorious. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. on CBS.
Lions sign TE Jordan Thomas to a reserve/futures contract Lions add a seventh tight end to their offseason roster.

Surfer retrieves working Apple Watch six months after losing it in the ocean
Wednesday, April 24, 2019, 10:51 am PT (01:51 pm ET)
A man from Huntington Beach, Calif. has recovered an Apple Watch he lost surfing in the Pacific Ocean six months ago, still in working order.
"This thing has been my good luck charm. I would use it quite often to show the surf and how fast you were going. It would even show you where you were on the beach," Robert Bainter told KTLA. One day, however, he was riding a large wave only to discover the Watch had been pulled off his wrist.
"A huge wave came and you know I was loving it, rode it and then I pick up my arm and like 'Oh My God,' what just happened," said Bainter.
Though he spent an hour searching and used Find My iPhone to turn on Lost Mode, the Watch remained missing until he eventually received a call from a man who found it 3 miles north and was able to retrieve Bainter's contact info.
"He was just walking looking for shells and he found it right there," Bainter said.
By that point Bainter had already bought a replacement Watch, but the original was fully functional, the only difference being a haze on the display, likely caused by the saltwater.
"It worked fine, it didn't skip a beat, all the information was there, all the apps were there," said Bainter. "I'm a big Apple fan."
Lost Mode automatically locks an Apple device, and lets users assign a phone number and onscreen message for anyone who finds it. If it's recovered, an owner can unlock it again using the Web or iOS versions of Find My iPhone.

Is YouTube Red Poised To Be The Next Netflix?
Originally published at TVREV.com on October 22, 2015
YouTube rolled out it's new subscription service Red yesterday in an announcement that was full of surprises.
To begin with, the $9.99 service includes both Google's gaming and music applications, along with the ability to watch videos commercial-free. Videos are downloadable too, for offline consumption. And then there's original content, consisting of series starring some of YouTube's best known creators.
So how does it all stack up? TV[R]EV takes a look.
This is a very clever addition as it ties in Google Play users while targeting the millions of people who use YouTube (and by extension, Vevo) as their go-to music source. Red will allow users to utilize a feature called Background Play that (as the name implies) allows videos to keep playing in the background even when you open another app. This will be a huge bonus to anyone who wants to listen to music on YouTube without having to keep the app open and the phone on— it essentially positions YouTube as a competitor to Spotify and Apple Music and more than justifies the $10/month fee.
The ability to download video for offline viewing is probably the single most requested feature for OTT sites. Most forbid it due to fear of piracy. Amazon, however, took the leap last month, allowing users to download video for future viewing and now YouTube follows suit. This will be a very desirable feature, though it's probably more desirable for long-form content than for short-form, given the ability to facilitate a binge-viewing jag, YouTube's decision to allow it is more of a "nice to have" rather than a "must have."
YouTube's Gaming app is a Twitch competitor, designed to give users access to game-related video (as opposed to actual games.) Including this in the YouTube Red package is a smart move though, as it gives another group (hardcore gamers) a reason to sign up for Red.
YouTube needed to do this— there's not much "professionally produced" content that hasn't been snatched up by Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, and there' not much professionally produced content from their own stars. What Originals does is give series-like structure to creators like Pew Die Pie, hopefully transitioning them from free-form videos shot with barebones technology into something much slicker and more easily marketed to both advertisers and audiences.
The danger here is that the transition might alienate their creator's current fans, by making them appear too "corporate." At the same time, there's the danger that many of these creators might not transition well to more structured formats. Fortunately for YouTube, they don't need "many" of them to make the transition— just one or two per season will do, provided those one or two become the sort of breakout hits that help YouTube Red obtain and retain subscribers.
It's also unclear how much the creators are being paid for the new programming and how it matches up with the ad revenue they're currently drawing. The split clearly has to be in their favor to make the new formats worthwhile.
As Digiday was quick to point out, RedTube is a well known porn aggregator. Oops.
The Prospects
While YouTube Red will be able to sweep up a lot of YouTube's hardcore adult fans, the real difficulty is going to be with the middle school and high school students who make up a sizable percentage of their base.
It's not that the service isn't worth $9.99/month—as noted earlier, the music service alone is probably worth that for someone who's not currently using Pandora or Spotify—it's just that the potential subscribers' parents aren't likely to see the value of YouTube Red's proposition. $10 a month is a lot to ask parents to pay so that their special snowflakes don't have to watch commercials. It's a lot to ask too, if the only value is that the special snowflake gets to watch Pew Die Pie in more structured, series-type videos.
That's why we see Red as being a tough sell to parents, with lots of conversations that contain some variation of "I'm not paying ten dollars a month, so you can skip through commercials."
So the question becomes how many of YouTube's adult users are willing to put up the money for something that (music service aside) doesn't offer a whole lot of additional value, particularly since YouTube's ad serving system, which lets viewers skip ads on many videos after 5 seconds, is not particularly intrusive. Similarly, original short form series with YouTube stars are intriguing, but probably not $120/year worth of intriguing.
We'll reserve our final judgement for when the product is rolled out for real, but until then, the chances for success are looking just okay.

Accidental or intentional doesn't matter to me. Bravo in either case!
Just noticed your comment Chucky-- that was not intentional, but you are correct, it is awesome.

The YouTube Trap


Being a stay at home mom without a helper is not easy because you have no choice but to do household chores. I won't deny that there are chores that I don't enjoy doing like cleaning the bathroom and ironing clothes. But if there is one thing that I like to do is decluttering.
I mentioned before that I like to practice minimalist living so every month, I declutter one closet. I always weed out our closets and remove those stuff that we no longer need, I try to sort them into three, "to keep", "to give away" and "to reuse".
We always give our stuff to our relatives, those who are willing to accept hand me down clothes and stuff. A few years ago, we donated my husband's clothes in Tahanan ni Maria, it is a home for the aged near our place. I didn't donate my clothes because I'm not sure if grandmothers will wear my clothes. Sometimes, we just put clothes in a clean plastic bag and give it away to the trash collector. Those clothes that have holes or stains, I upcycle it so I seldom buy a rug.
Giving away is much easier than selling but sometimes, we sell preloved clothes and stuff online. A little amount that we earn from old stuff is still an extra income.
This year, my goal is to declutter and organize our home. We have so many stuff but few storages. One of our projects at home is to build or buy cabinets and shelves. A few years ago, we hire a carpenter to build a cabinet and it took him more than a week just to finish one cabinet. Waah!
After that project, we're contemplating whether to hire a carpenter or just buy ready made cabinets and shelves. I've been meaning to buy Kallax cabinets for my son's room but I just don't know if I can bring it to the Philippines without paying any tax. If may tax din, di rin nakatipid so during my past two visits in IKEA, hanggang tingin na lang ko.
Since I am determined to declutter our home, I asked my husband if we can buy Kallax at Furniture Source Philippines. They have ongoing New Year Sale so we took advantage of it. We went to their store last week and ordered the 2x4 and 2x2 Kallax Cabinet. I thought we can already bring it home but I was wrong, all stocks are in their warehouse so it is either we pick it up or pay for delivery. Showroom lang pala siya.
We chose pick-up. When my husband went there, he was advised that the 2x2 pink Kallax Cabinet is no longer available. They can deliver the 2x2 white Kallax cabinet for free or they will refund the money. I told my husband to choose refund because 2x2 white Kallax is not included in their sale items and I don't want to pay for the excess. He can buy the Kallax Cabinet in his next business trip naman.
Read: Buying Furniture at Furniture Source Philippines: Yay or Nay?
My husband assembled it and I was so glad that I was able to use our black Drona Boxes. If you remember, I asked my husband to buy these black boxes when he went to Thailand. So after 8 months, nagamit ko na rin. My decluttering is not yet over but hopefully in the near future, mabawasan na rin ng kalat sa house.
nice house you got there!! love your idea!
I read this post a few days ago and I really think that I have so many things I can let go! Sobrang dami din naming mga unnecessary stuff na dala namin from one house to another pag naglilipat. I should declutter too!
Like you, I like de-cluttering. It so nice to see things I cant remember I own pala and use it instead of buying new stuffs. Yun lang, most of the items we de-clutter are either expired na or hindi na magamit.
Hahha. It is also one of my goals. To declutter and give to others what I think would be useful to them. We will be leaving our small house this month and for sure, there are many things for charity, our church and things needing to be trashed.
Wow, I love that shelf! We also declutter every so often but now that we have a new baby I have less time for it. Hopefully, I get to find time for it this summer.


"It rewrote the HIG, establishing even greater consistency between apps."
HIG is not just about how it looks but also about how it works. So that, for instance, when you start using a new app, it feels intuitive. Does using a new app (including Apple's own apps) on iOS feel intuitive? Well, too many times, it doesn't IMHO (e.g. finding the preferences for an app is like wandering in uncharted territories).
I think old Apple UI had huge problems but I fully agree with the original criticisms. Especially with regards to affordances. Use has taken a backseat to appearance as design - often based more on a print aesthetic.
That said though there is more consistency now than before. Although it could be better.


This is a new installation (not an upgrade) on Linux (I saw someone posted that they had upgraded from 4.2 and had this issue).
Is this a problem with a specific setup or is it a 5.0a problem in general ?
I can confirm that the calendar appears as you describe in a new install of 5.0.a regardless of which browser is used.
The events are being persisted. It's just that they aren't showing up in the view.
My Jira account is hosed at the moment. If you wouldn't mind creating a new issue on this it would be helpful.
The solution (until the bug is fixed in a new release) was found by Püspöki Mihály (see JIRA or below). Thanks!

Why do we teach Taijiquan at Jung Tao School?
March 8, 2017 by Sherri Green
– Barry Marshall LMBT, NCTMB 3/8/17
Some students who come to Jung Tao School to learn acupuncture are surprised to find how much emphasis we place on learning other practices – in particular, the practice of Taijiquan.
Taiji — also known in Chinese as "Grand Ultimate," "Great Pole, or "Great Pivot" — is a nature philosophy that arose in China circa 500 -350 BCE. Taiji philosophy and the concept of the Dao (Tao) became the two pillars of what became known as philosophical Daoism. This philosophy was most succinctly described in the Tao Te Ching (Daodejing), the primary text of early Daoism. However, almost all schools of thought in ancient China were influenced to a greater or lesser degree by the philosophy of Taiji.
Daoism, as taught and practiced at Jung Tao School is a system of mental and physical training that is based on principles derived from nature. In no respect are we attempting to indoctrinate anyone, or to change or undermine anyone's religious beliefs. These principles are consistent with the teaching of all the world's great religions, not in competition with them. As Paracelsus said,
The art of healing comes from nature, not from the physician. Therefore the physician must start from nature, with an open mind.
Taijiquan (Tai Chi Chuan) – also known in Chinese as "Grand Ultimate Boxing" – is a movement art that we use as a physical practice to enhance our personal cultivation as Chinese medicine practitioners. The art of Taijiquan gets its name from the alterations of yin & yang around a central pole throughout the form. Even though Taijiquan was originally created as a martial art, at Jung Tao School we look at the Taijiquan form as being an empty vessel. Because it is empty, it is useful in many more ways than just as a martial art. Taijiquan is, therefore, a means to acquire a way of being in our bodies and, by extension, a way of acting in the world. Ultimately, we believe, there is nothing we do that is not Taijiquan. We, therefore, strive to use the physical practice of Taijiquan to cultivate character development, physical skill, and social skill.
To accomplish this, it is not enough to just go through the movements of the Taijiquan form. There must be committed practice of the form with attention to the details and the principles of Taijiquan as well as meditation, contemplation, and study.
Some of the skills and qualities that can be derived from the practice of Taijiquan include –
Self-awareness. As the Daodejing states, "Knowing others is wisdom; knowing the self is enlightenment." The practice helps develop "witness consciousness" through growing awareness of the position of the whole body, and the relation of each part of the body to everything else. It also helps distinguish between "full" and "empty" states, which we also understand as relaxation and tension. Releasing tension helps resolve qi (energy) stagnation.
Unity of the mind and body. Taijiquan focuses attention on the current movement, and develops holistic consciousness.
Softness overcoming hardness. This is an attitude as much as a skill.
Getting "self" out of the way. The practice helps develop humility ("daring not to be ahead of others"), moderation (not going too far), a cultivated emptiness (having no intention, going with the flow), and a sense of wuwei (an action that arises in harmony with what is occurring instead of in opposition to it).
Embodied listening. Touch becomes more aware; students become more sensitive to what they are feeling in their own bodies as well as in a partner (or patient's) body, which we learn to extrapolate to places where we are stuck in our lives.
Created sensations. Each physical posture also has a feeling associated with it. These feelings and the ability to generate them in our bodies open us to the internal aspects of Taijiquan. Sensations of entering and exiting, as well as raising and lowering, are the language of the body, so we use them to cultivate our capacity to discern and respond to the body.
The daily practice of Taijiquan is a core element to the personal cultivation that becoming an effective Classical Chinese medicine practitioner requires. At Jung Tao School, we help students form the foundation of a lifelong practice that enhances their own — and their patients' — lives.

A Massachusetts jury awarded just under $30 million this month to a now-eleven-year-old girl who suffered a devastating brain injury in utero. In September of 2004, the girl's mother presented to the hospital while 28 weeks pregnant complaining of decreased fetal movement. She was admitted for monitoring at 11:00 p.m. on September 5th and, until 5:30 p.m. on September 6th, everything was fine.
Soon after, however, the baby's heart rate dropped dramatically. The on-call attending physician – who was at home at the time – was called but decided not to come to the hospital. The child's attorneys argued that this was an emergency and that the child needed to be delivered by emergency cesarean section immediately. Unfortunately, that did not happen in a timely manner. At approximately 9:20 p.m., the baby's heart rate dropped so low that her brain was deprived of sufficient oxygen for at least eight minutes. The lawyers presented evidence that when the baby finally was delivered by cesarean section, she essentially was not alive and had to be resuscitated.
As the result of the brain injury, the child does not walk or talk, is blind and has to be fed through a gastric (feeding) tube. She also has a tracheotomy to assist with breathing which must be suctioned several times per hour. The jury's verdict was comprised, in part, of $1.04 million for past medical bills, $16.1 million for future medical and other care needs, $1.25 million for lost earning capacity and $11.5 million for past and future physical and mental pain and suffering, disfigurement, embarrassment, anxiety, loss of enjoyment of life, etc.

Smoke from Cranston fire near Idyllwild brings unhealthy air quality to Riverside County communities

PUBLISHED: July 26, 2018 at 12:32 p.m. | UPDATED: November 21, 2018 at 12:10 p.m.
Smoke and ash from a wildfire burning near Idyllwild has resulted in in unhealthy air quality for residents in the San Jacinto Valley and mountains, prompting the local air district to issue a smoke advisory through Friday morning.
Areas that may be directly affected by smoke and unhealthful air quality are all in Riverside County and include: Perris Valley, Anza, Hemet, San Jacinto Valley and parts of the Coachella Valley, according to the South Coast Air Quality Management District.
Any resident that smells smoke or sees ash falling from the fire should stay indoors with the windows and doors closed and avoid any vigorous physical activity, said Patrick Chandler, SCAQMD spokesman in a written statement.
The Cranston Fire burning between Hemet and Mountain Center and within the San Bernardino National Forest has consumed 4,700 acres and was only 5 percent contained as of Thursday morning. Idyllwild, Apple Canyon, Mountain Center, Lake Hemet and Hurkey Creek were under mandatory evacuation orders. Pine Cove residents were allowed to return to their homes late Wednesday.
If the winds shift, it could send thick smoke during the evening hours and overnight into portions of Riverside County and the Coachella Valley west of the fire. This may cause air quality to reach unhealthy levels or worse, according to the SCAQMD.
"Residents throughout Riverside County, particularly those living or working near the fire, need to be aware of the risks of breathing unhealthy air and take steps to keep safe," said Dr. Cameron Kaiser, Riverside County public health officer.

Wildfire smoke can cause a range of health issues, which include burning eyes, runny nose, shortness of breath, scratchy throat, headaches and chest pains. Smoke can also worsen chronic heart and lung disease. Certain populations are more vulnerable to the effects, he said.
"The excessive heat and smoke can be dangerous, especially among those with respiratory illnesses like asthma, young children and the elderly. For residents without access to cool, clean air, we advise that they make use of Cool Centers that are open throughout the County," Kaiser added.
The cool centers are coordinated by the Community Action Partnership of Riverside County, in conjunction with the health department, and are located in local libraries, senior and community centers.
For Thursday, the SCAQMD forecasts unhealthy air due to high levels of ozone, the main component in summer smog, in the following locations: Santa Clarita, Simi Valley, the Angeles National Forest, San Bernardino National Forest, Redlands, Highland, Yucaipa, Perris and parts of Riverside.

Executive of the Year – Rajeev Gupta, Latam Head at Tata Constancy Services
For the last ten years, Rajeev Gupta has achieved a tremendous amount of success with Tata Consultancy Services, building the Indian IT giant's Latin American presence from the ground up.

Today, Rajeev still sees masses of opportunity in the region as he builds the company's capabilities to serve industries that are increasingly going digital.
"Initially, my arrival in Latin America was very difficult, but after hearing the ideas and passion from people Latin America, I became convinced that this is the region of the future, so I will continue to help growing this region in the digital age," he said, when accepting his award.
Voyager of the Year – Miguel Matey, Managing Director and Region Head at Atento Mexico/Latam
Originally hailing from Madrid, Spain, Miguel Matey's career with Atento has taken him from his homeland to Mexico, Guatemala, Czech Republic, Morocco, France, and back to Mexico again.
He first came to Mexico in 2003 and is now the general manager of Atento Mexico and regional director for company's operations in Latin America.
His work with Atento has helped Miguel to satiate his travel bug, which he also shares his wife as they continue to explore Mexico together, making him a true Nearshore voyager.
"Nearshoring is something very necessary for Latin America, and the passion behind what people are doing is driving the region's contact center and BPO industry," he said.

I know, I did the same thing. I'm like, am I out of a career?? LOL Everyone is different though, so I make no claims as to what others experience. I think it's safe to assume that what you're buying is gluten-free.
Wow, I find this REALLY interesting. Long post ahead... grin. I'm a brand new member here who happens to be an artisan soapmaker by trade... and discovering gluten intolerance! I'm 37 and a 10-year vegetarian, immersed in health care as a separate career of 12 years, also a yoga teacher (busy me!), and I'm starting my journey toward narrowing my problems down. Anyway, this thread is sort of making me think out loud. Let me just share some of that, and maybe something will come of it. I've read in a few sources that it requires actual contact with the digestive system for a celiac to be affected by a gluten-containing substance. I don't personally have enough info to have formed a solid opinion, and clearly the postings of people on this board indicate otherwise. It's possible that a gluten-containing soap (if soap is the substance in question) was accidentally ingested, or that the things I've read are incorrect. As far as soap ingredients, there are very few gluten-containing materials that even are used in soapmaking. Soap is a combination of fats or oils and lye (sodium hydroxide). The only oil I can think of that would obviously be a factor is wheat germ oil. I've used it rarely in soapmaking, and dermal contact has never caused a problem for me. Indeed, I've put oats in soap, and they could be CC'd, and I suppose some of my other base oils could be CC'd. As for other additives (scents, essential oils, botanicals), they are gluten free, unless you are using wheat germ or bran as an additive, and this very rarely occurs in a soap. I personally do not sell any soaps presently (though might in the future here and there) with gluten-containing ingredients in them. It's just SO rare. They're expensive and the benefit they provide to the skin isn't that amazing to spend the money. Wheat germ oil is not as great soap additive as, say, avocado or apricot kernel oil. The latter are far more commonly used. Besides, soap isn't moisturizing. It's just milder than detergent. Here's the other thing I have to wonder about. There's a chemical reaction called saponification, when the lye eats up the oil/fat molecules, and turns the whole mess into soap. Even if any ingredients were CC'd, at that point, is there any gluten remaining, or did the chemical reaction mutate them? I think only lab analysis would tell us, and sadly I can't afford that! Do milk soaps still contain active casein? I personally use only soymilk, but it's another good question. The other thing is this. Most commercial soap isn't soap at all. It's synthetic detergent in bar form. So it's also possible that it is a reaction to synthetic ingredients. Anytime you see "moisturizing bar", legally that is not true soap. A soap can make claims of being moisturizing etc., but rarely does, because then the FDA calls it a cosmetic and it's subject to some seeerious testing and labeling requirements. So, read the label and make sure you are getting what you pay for In theory, it's easy to make a gluten-free soap, and in theory, all of mine and most of other soapmakers I know, are gluten-free. So... use gluten-free substances. Use separate utensils (even though all utensils used in soapmaking must be stainless steel and are sterilized), a dedicated working area, and gluten-free base oils... but here, the problem comes in of confirming they are "clean". I've never seen such info listed for suppliers, and remember I'm not buying oils at the grocery store... I'm buying them in 55-pound barrels at restaurant supply or soapmaker supply places. But it is an interesting thought. That's more than anyone wanted to know about soap! I hope some info was useful. This is such a fabulous resource here... been reading for 1 1/2 hours! It's very nice to meet everyone. Finally I realize I'm not crazy!

Cyber Monday phone deals: Save $200 on the Google Pixel 4, Samsung Galaxy Note 10, S10, and more
Black Friday brought about some fantastic deals on some of the latest phones, including Google's Pixel 4, the OnePlus 7 Pro, Samsung Galaxy Note 10, and more. For Cyber Monday, those deals continue, though you're time to checkout with these lowered prices is running out.
Below, we'll list the best deals that are currently happening on unlocked Android phones, as well as a few carrier deals on iPhones. Sadly, there aren't straight discounts on recent iPhone models, but if you're planning on activating on Verizon or AT&T, you can stand to save some a ton of money on Cyber Monday.
LG G8 ThinQ is $399.99 (usually $849.99) at Amazon. My colleague Sean Hollister wrote why he thinks this may be the best Black Friday phone deal of 2019, one that's still in effect for Cyber Monday.
Samsung Galaxy S9 is $399.99 at the Microsoft Store
You've probably heard it a million times already during Black Friday, but it bears repeating if you're looking for a deal on one of the best all-around Android phones, the Pixel 4. Google's Pixel 4 phone with 64GB of storage is $599 (usually $799; each storage configuration is $200 off) at Amazon (limited colors available), Best Buy, Google Store and B&H Photo
The Pixel 4 XL with 64GB of storage is $699 (usually $899; each storage config is $200 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, Google Store and B&H Photo
The cheaper Pixel 3A is also discounted at $100 off of its usual price. The model with 64GB of storage is $299.99 (usually $399) at Best Buy, Google Store and B&H Photo
The Pixel 3A XL with 64GB of storage) is $379.99 at Amazon (available in black or white), Best Buy, Google Store and B&H Photo

Samsung is offering its biggest discount on the Note 10 and Galaxy S10 lineup of phones, and it's including a free set of Galaxy Buds truly wireless earbuds with purchase. The Samsung Galaxy Note 10 starts at $749.99 at Samsung, B&H Photo, Microsoft Store, and Amazon. (It's normally priced at $949.99.)
If you want a bigger phone, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus is also discounted $200 (includes Galaxy Buds), down to $899.99 at Samsung, B&H Photo, Microsoft Store, and Amazon.
Best Buy is hosting a huge discount on the Galaxy Note 10 Plus, where you can get it for just $699.99 when you activate it with Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. No monthly payment plan is necessary to save money here.
The Galaxy S10 starts at $699.99 ($200 off, includes free Galaxy Buds) at Amazon, B&H Photo, and Samsung.
The Galaxy S10 Plus starts at $799.99 ($200 off, includes free Galaxy Buds) at B&H Photo, Amazon, and Samsung.
The smaller Galaxy S10E is $549.99 ($200 off, but doesn't include free Galaxy Buds) at Amazon and Best Buy.
Photo by Vjeran Pavic / The Verge
If you're looking for a discount on an iPhone 11 Pro, you may be able to buy one at Best Buy for as little as $499 (roughly half off). To do that, you'll need to activate a new line with an installment plan on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint, and also trade in your old phone. How much you pay overall will depend on how much trade-in value your phone has.
A similar deal applies to the less expensive iPhone 11 at Best Buy, which normally has a $699 starting price. After activating it on Verizon, AT&T or Sprint, and trading in your old phone, the final cost after your installment plan is paid off will be $199.
Over at Target, the iPhone deals kick off on Black Friday and last through Sunday. You can get a $200 gift card when you activate either the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, or iPhone 11 Pro Max with Verizon or AT&T. Target will also offer a $200 gift card for the iPhone XS or iPhone XS Max, which cost less per month than the iPhone 11 Pro or Pro Max

Two more news directors have joined the ranks of general managers and both with their current employers.
Dave Lougee, who left NBC-owned WRC-TV Washington in 1998 to join Belo's KING-TV Seattle as news director, has become general manager of KING-TV and KONG-TV, both Seattle.
Before working in Washington, Lougee was in Denver, as vice president, news, at KUSA-TV and assistant news director at kcnc-tv.
Also, Marci Burdick, longtime news director at Schurz Communications-owned KYTV(TV) Springfield, Mo., will become president and general manager at sister station WAGT(TV) Augusta, Ga.
Burdick, known for her active role with the Radio and Television News Directors Association, is currently going back and forth between the two stations.
She will make the move to Augusta a permanent one this month.

Q: PHP FOSRestBundle using PUT method I am trying to use Symfony 2 with FOSRestBundle, I've got my GET and POST functions working fine and i've got it returning an array fine with PUT however i cannot get my query string or input.
I've tried the obvious $_POST, $_GET, $_PUT and even tried file_get_contents("php://input"); none of these return a query string.
I am lead to believe that PUT is used to update an existing entry which i am doing.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A: That's documented here: https://github.com/FriendsOfSymfony/FOSRestBundle/blob/master/Resources/doc/3-listener-support.md#param-fetcher-listener
Let me give you an example:
/**
 * @View(statusCode=200)
 * @Put("/resource/{resource_id}")
 * @QueryParam(name="page", requirements="\d+", default="1", description="Page of the overview.")
 */
public function putAction(ParamFetcher $paramFetcher)
{
    $page = $paramFetcher->get('page');
    ...
}

That way you'll be able to fetch query params.

Lilica – remember that name! This wonderful pregnant dog took part in a maternity photo shoot. The cute creature was taken photos by the Brazilian photographer Ana Paula Grillo. The pregnant dog proudly displayed her baby bump shining in all its glory. In this way, the mama-to-be set whole new standards for looking fabulous.
Maternity is something worth celebrating, and while all the pups that Lilica gave birth to have found homes among the family members of her owner, too many unfortunate ones ended up on the streets. Thus all pet owners should remember the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. This will reduce the number of strays and will make good to the health of the pets.
"The Photo Shoot Was Amazing, I Felt Like I Understood Her Completely," the Photographer Said.
She Is Very Nice, Isn't She?
Five Little Puppies In There.
Ana Paula Grillo, Thank You For This Fantastic Photo Shoot!

Shocked neighbours are speaking out over the discovery of a human jawbone on a river path in Rowhedge.
Police are keeping an open mind about how the remains came to be near a river in the village, near Colchester, and are carrying out tests to determine the bone's age.
Sniffer dogs and forensic tents remained in fields near the river walk last night.
On social media, a birdwatcher described the moment he came across the jawbone on a path which runs along the River Colne, and has since been taped off by detectives.
"I stopped to say hello to a couple of women and their dogs," he wrote on Facebook.
Neighbour Jason Ewing said when he saw sniffer dogs searching the river he knew something unusual was going on.
"It came as a surprise to be honest because I've never seen anything like this here in Rowhedge.
"I first noticed the police yesterday outside my window at around 6pm.
"There was just one officer who cordoned off the area and there was another police dog unit with a springer spaniel searching.
Police, who made the discovery after being alerted at around 2.35pm on Saturday, say they are checking missing person records as part of their enquiries.
"We remain open minded as to how the jawbone came to be where it was found," a police spokesman said.
Ward councillor Mike Lilley said he was taken aback by the find.
"It is one of the most unusual things to happen in Rowhedge," he added. "An awful lot of people use that path and I have had a few enquiries about how the jawbone came to be there.
"I'm quite taken aback by it and it is a bit of a shock, it just seems so unusual.
To help police with their enquiries, call 101.
