These Entrepreneurs Are Building the Blank Canvas of the New Internet 5 2473
Brian Oaster August 14, 2018 10:07 pm August 16, 2018
We need a new internet. This HTTP stuff is left over from the '90s. It's corporate controlled in the post neutrality world, susceptible to government censorship, inaccessible to many with nearly half the world's population still unable to connect. It increasingly needs a more streamlined makeover.
Or at least a little house cleaning. How many apps can we possibly have? How many passwords and accounts? How much content can we cram in here? What do we do with the ever growing graveyard of dead links, old MySpace accounts and cat memes, to say nothing of the emptying, generic cruise ship we call Facebook drifting steadily away from relevance? One possible answer: clean the slate. Start again. This time with something more efficient.
Imagining the Internet 2.0
By some indicators, blockchain could be the thing to supplant the internet as the de facto way we create, communicate and store data. But how will we see it widely implemented without it first becoming more user friendly to the layperson? SMBs and entrepreneurs don't necessarily have a background in programming, nor have the skills to set their business up on the blockchain. Learning to program or hiring a team of blockchain devs isn't always within reach to the average SMB, to say nothing of individual artisans or small nonprofits.
By contrast, consider how easy it is to start up a website. You can do it in a few hours, thanks to software platforms that make it easy. You get your URL from GoDaddy, a visual template from WordPress or SquareSpace, who also might bundle in your ecommerce space if you haven't set that up with Shopify already. It's because of these SaaS and PaaS third parties that we can web.
If we want to go blockchain, we'll need a third parties like these to help facilitate it. So where are these platforms? Who's building them?
The Deregulated Ecommerce Toolkit
Well, Eric Tippetts, for one. Tippetts expects the 2020s to see a shift to blockchain much like the 90s shift to the information superhighway and the 2010s shift to mobile. To speed things along, his company NASGO has created a toolkit called BlockBox, the goal of which is to be the 'GoDaddy of blockchain' so people and businesses can start building.
Through BlockBox, which Tippetts cocreated with a development team, you can find and secure a blockchain domain address, like you would with a URL, adapt your existing website for blockchain, and create a custom token. Instead of having to wrap your head around lines of code or hire a dev team, it just takes a couple minutes and a couple hundred bucks.
Tippetts describes NASGO itself as "a decentralized hosting environment that allows content to be seen in every part of the world, opening up blocked boundaries for communication and collaboration." It also includes a platform for decentralized apps (DAPPS) that could compete with Apple and Google's app stores.
Their website repeatedly emphasizes the deregulated nature of the product, ostensibly gearing their platform toward the "businesses, developers and consumers" of a sharing and open ecommerce.
A Platform for Public and Private Good
Amber Baldet's company Clovyr has similar goals, but with a distinctly different tone. She wants people to use their DAPP platform to "build the systems we want to see in the world."
Baldet left JP Morgan Chase, where she was hired to spearhead their out-of-character blockchain experiments, to found her startup. She recently testified before congress about blockchain regulation and the importance of protecting human rights and privacy early on, while the technology is still in its infancy.
She says that there needn't be a divide between public and private interests when it comes to blockchain. "It's very divided, the people that are building things for public chain and people that are building things for 'permissioned' or business enterprise kind of chains," said Baldet in an interview with Fortune. She says that nomenclature isn't helpful, "because it creates this kind of animosity where we're saying that big business is on one side and the people or the proletariat are on the other side, when really it should just be about information residing where it makes sense and creating security boundaries that are logical."
Building a Blank Canvas
In a way, the blockchain is a platform much like the internet itself, a canvas available for anybody to use, whatever their interests and intentions are.
So whatever direction the blockchain internet-nouveau of the future takes, if that's really what we're in for, people like Tippetts and Baldet are the architects of its structure. It'll be up to the rest of to fill it up with content. Hopefully good content. Bring the memes, leave the corporate derelicts.

South Korea to Launch K-Voting: Elections by Blockchain 4 2536
Brian Oaster December 4, 2018 11:44 pm December 4, 2018
South Korean officials are developing a blockchain based voting system, scheduled for completion by the end of the year. Naturally, it's called K-Voting.
An election watchdog called the National Election Commission, along with the Ministry of Science and ICT, started developing the system in June in pursuit of a more reliable and secure online voting system. The ministry hopes the transparency of the blockchain will prevent any tampering with election results, because anyone, including the candidates, can see the data and vet the results themselves.
The launch will begin by testing the system with lower-stakes trial runs, like surveys. After assessing the results of the trial runs, the ministry and the NEC will launch the full version of K-voting, which will use the blockchain throughout the entire voting process, from voter authentication all the way through tallying election results.
"We expect the blockchain-based voting system to enhance reliability of voting," said ministry official Kim Jeong-won. "The ministry will continue to support the application of blockchain technology to actively utilize it in areas that require reliability."
It's Not Korea's First Dance With Blockchain Voting
This isn't the first time South Korea has used blockchain for voting. Last March, citizens used a voting platform developed by Blocko to decide how to prioritize community projects in the local budget. The blockchain election took place in Gyeonggi-do, South Korea's most populous province, which surrounds Seoul and is home to many federally administrative buildings including the Ministry of Science and ICT headquarters. With 9,000 participants, the vote was smaller in scale than what the ministry hopes to implement now. But the success of the project boosted confidence in the potential of the distributed ledger for regulating and securing online elections.
"Blockchains will change the world within a few years just as smart-phones did," Gyeonggi-do Governor Nam Kyung-Pil said at the time. "We can complement the limits of representative democracy with some direct democracy systems by using blockchains, the technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution."
"Numerous institutions have contacted us to adopt a blockchain-based voting system after the voting in Gyeonggi-do," said Blocko CEO Won-Beom Kim following the success of the project. "By using a blockchain technology in online voting, we can save expenses required to maintain a central management agency and time to collect vote results."
Blockchain Voting in West Virginia
For this year's midterm elections in the US, West Virginia introduced a blockchain-based app to replace absentee ballots. The app was specifically geared towards West Virginia residents serving overseas in the military.
Around 144 West Virginians in 30 different countries apped in their votes on the platform, which was developed by Boston-based startup Voatz. West Virginia reported the experiment as a success. "This is a first-in-the-nation project that allowed uniformed services members and overseas citizens to use a mobile application to cast a ballot secured by blockchain technology," West Virginia Secretary of State Andrew "Mac" Warner said following the midterms.
Despite the professed success, Warner's Deputy Chief of Staff Michael Queen told the Washington Post they have no plans to expand the project, and "will never advocate that this is a solution for mainstream voting."
The Precedents Are Set for 'Direct Democracy'
But West Virginia has set a precedent, and now blockchain voting has a foot in the door Stateside. A bolder election-by-blockchain enterprise like South Korea's K-Voting could inspire change in the States where election reform is desperately needed. If K-Voting takes hold, it could change the face of democracy worldwide.
Amazon Introduces a Service for Building Your Own Blockchain Networks 1,054 21129
Ah, what a year. Bitcoin, which dipped below the $4,000 mark this week, has lost more than three quarters of its value over the course of 2018. Crypto has had a rough go this lap around the sun. But as the end of the year approaches, the 'blockchain not bitcoin' bandwagon is still going strong.
Despite some negative headlines criticizing blockchain's inability to keep up with or deliver on the hype, blockchain as a service (BaaS) continues to find courtship with leading tech giants.
Amazon Web Services, or AWS, has just announced their own fully managed blockchain service, Amazon Managed Blockchain. They say it "makes it easy to create and manage scalable blockchain networks." And it could be the push that brings the powerful potential of distributed ledgers to the layperson "with just a few clicks."
Setting up a blockchain network independently requires a lot of costs, labor, equipment, and expertise. BaaS platforms like Amazon Managed Blockchain cover all those bases for their subscribers, and simply give you the tools to build a distributed ledger for your business.
Amazon's Not Resting on its Laurels
Despite being a nightmare for working people with hair-raising reports of foul and dangerous working conditions to salt the wounds opened by their low wages, and despite pushing for widespread gentrification in the Bronx with the opening of its "extremely concerning" HQ2, to the outrage of local communities, Amazon is coming off of a killer year. They followed their 2017 possession of Whole Foods with Jeff Bezos' coronation as the wealthiest anything anywhere ever. And AWS CEO Andy Jassy seems confident that the momentum will keep up.
"We don't build things for optics," he said at the re:Invent conference, which AWS hosted in Las Vegas. He says that AWS, which represents 9.8 percent of Amazon's total revenues, is a $27 billion business growing 46 percent year-on-year. But despite the size of the company, he said "it's still relatively early days."
Early because blockchain still hasn't taken a form that the public can use as freely and easily as, say, the internet. A Cowen report projected widespread blockchain implementation is still 5.9 years away, based on a survey of industry leaders. "We're still in the early stages of the meat of enterprise and public sector adoption in the US," Jassy said, adding that he considers other countries to be 12 to 36 months behind.
AWS Joins Microsoft, IBM With BaaS
Amazon Managed Blockchain is built on Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric. It's not the first of its kind. IBM also uses Hyperledger Fabric for its BaaS, and Microsoft offers Ethereum-based BaaS on Azure, its cloud service. What is Amazon bringing that these companies aren't? We don't really know yet.
But in addition to Amazon Managed Blockchain, AWS introduced the Amazon Quantum Ledger Database, a "fully managed ledger database" that "allows you to easily analyze the network activity outside the network and gain insights into trends."
The ledger database works in tandem with Amazon Managed Blockchain to document businesses' blockchain activity. Together, these tools could be the thing to finally kick blockchain into the mainstream.

US judge plans jury pool of 1,000 for 2nd Arbery death trial
This photo combo shows, from left, Travis McMichael, William "Roddie" Bryan, and Gregory McMichael during their trial at at the Glynn County Courthouse in Brunswick, Ga. Jurors on Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2021 convicted the three white men charged in the death of Ahmaud Arbery, the Black man who was chased and fatally shot while running through their neighborhood in an attack that became part of the larger national reckoning on racial injustice. (Pool, file)
BRUNSWICK, Ga. (AP) — The federal judge presiding over the upcoming hate crimes trial of the three white men convicted of murdering Ahmaud Arbery says she plans to summon roughly 1,000 potential jurors from 43 Georgia counties.
U.S. District Court Judge Lisa Godbey Wood said at a hearing Monday she agreed with prosecutors and defense attorneys that drawing a jury pool from a boarder area of the state was warranted after the murder trial that ended with convictions in state court last month garnered extensive pretrial publicity.
Wood said the trial will remain in Brunswick, where Arbery was slain in February 2020.
Federal prosecutors say father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and neighbor William "Roddie" Bryan chased and killed 25-year-old Arbery because he was Black.

1999: Martin Creed
Martin Creed
Work No. 203, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT
Work No. 207, I Like Things
Work No. 208, Nothing is Something
Work No. 209, I Can't Move
Martin Creed produced four new works, a large neon text installed at a listed landmark site in Clapton, East London, and three recorded songs published on CD. The neon text reads EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. It runs the full 13 meters length of the entablature of The Portico, a neo-classical structure which is all that remains of what was originally built as the London Orphans' Asylum. The building later served as the first International Training Garrison for The Salvation Army. Together these works can be considered as an exhibition which exists simultaneously in the public and private realm. The neon work inhabits an urban environment which is determined by its cultural, social, architectural and historical contexts. In contrast, the songs are of a more intimate nature and are being distributed free by post or by hand to an audience of 2000. Martin Creed's work has been variously described as conceptual, minimal, expressionist, interventionist, humourous and surreal. But the artist prefers a more open reading in its relation to contemporary practice, and particularly its position with regard to value and the commodification of art. Martin Creed's choice and use of materials - plain A4 sheets of paper, blu-tak, masking tape, party balloons, simple or 'unpoetic' language as text or as lyrics to songs - is a thoughtful celebration of the ordinary, a focussed reading of the ambiguity of stuff.
Work number 203, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT, was initiated and curated by Ingrid Swenson in partnership with The Hackney Historic Buildings Trust (Registered Charity No. 291468). Works numbers 207, 208, 209 were commissioned and published on CD by The Pier Trust.

Qworks: Students create new org to help ABQ
By Catherine Stringam	Published 05/18/18 10:06pm

When political campaigns end, often so do the candidate's social media pages.
Gus Pedrotty, a University of New Mexico alumnus and former Albuquerque mayoral candidate, did not want this to be the case. He decided to take the following of young people his campaign developed and do something good to give back.
Pedrotty helped create a new page called Qworks (pronounced "quirks"). It was made with the intention to break down stories, educate the people of Albuquerque and promote civic engagement. Qworks is made up of many current and former UNM students, including the its co-owners Pedrotty, Sara Collins, Joshua Romero and AJ Hedrich. Many of the team members are the same people that worked on Pedrotty's campaign last year.
Hedrich said the important thing about Qworks is that they are not only providing information, but also providing action steps for people to get involved and participate in their city.
"We find as much information as we can, then we take that information and synthesize it into something that is digestible and easy," Hedrich said, "And we also tack on what people can do now that they have learned this information."
One of the ways the Qworks team puts out information — an aspect that Pedrotty said is their backbone — is through what they call 60 Second City videos. Each week, the team picks one topic and publish three 60-second videos throughout the week about it. Past topics for the videos have included recycling, trash and voting.
"These one-minute videos could literally change the notion of what it means to understand how your government is working around you, and to have the means to ask and answer questions relating to it," Pedrotty said.
He added that if people keep up with the short videos over time, Albuquerque could become one of the most informed electorates regarding city government.
Brandon Grey starred in the recycling video series along fellow UNM student Gabriel Gallegos. Grey said Qworks is a team of young, passionate, collaborative people, and producing the videos with other members of the team was a lot of fun.
"What's cool about Qworks is it's a new approach to media and civic engagement, and merging those to create positive change in the city," Grey said.
According to Pedrotty, they will continue to add new features to Qworks, such as business partnerships, QR codes, and potentially even geocaching or scavenger hunts around the city. The team is also working on planning engaging, topic-centered events for the summer.
"I think one of the real goals of this is just trying to find better ways to talk to each other," Pedrotty said. "We want to create spaces where people are comfortable talking and engaging, and even admitting their ignorance."
The owners said anyone can have an idea for a video series and pitch it to the Qworks team. They said they want to get as many people involved as they can.
Members of the Qworks team do research, write scripts, film, edit videos, make graphics and perform a variety of other jobs.
"If you have a skill, we can use it," Romero said. "We can always use more people."
Students interested in working with Qworks can reach out to them via their Facebook and Instagram pages @qworks.abq or send an email to qworks.abq@gmail.com

Q: Where to find the parsed Boost.Test output in Eclipse There is already a thread here that partially answers my question .
On Eclipse 3.7.2 I followed the approach provided there and I could successfully accomplish the steps creating and setting up a new error parser and adding it to my current project. After executing my Boost.Test (boost rel. 1.48.0) Unit Test, on the Eclipse console I get the same output as the output I get when no parsing is done (e.g. when executing the Unit Test outside Eclipse (e.g. on a Linux terminal)). I searched for a new Eclipse console where the parsed Unit Test output could be displayed (similar to the consoles by e.g. gcov, gprof or cppcheck in Eclipse) but found nothing alike.
Where should the parsed unit test output be displayed? In case the parsed output shall be displayed in the Eclipse Console view, are there any suggestions what might have gone wrong with the parsing in my case?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: Thanks to casperOne and kleopatra for teaching me manners.

A: If you're using Eclipse there is also a really nice plugin called TestRunner for running CDT unit tests much like Java or Python unit tests. It handles the unit-testing parsing for you. You'll get a separate console window for your unit tests and it arranges them with level filters. Clicking on an error/warning takes you to the unit-test line number in your editor. You also can set the verbosity level as well as a few other settings from inside Eclipse.
You can directly install the plugin by using the following link in Eclipse updates https://raw.github.com/xgsa/cdt-tests-runner/tests_runner_demo/testsrunner/org.eclipse.cdt.testsrunner-updatesite/site.xml

A: In order to eclipse parse errors, the error must be print in the console view at compile time. If you are emitting errors in runtime, you must add your program to be called by the Makefile.
That's how I do in embedded systems.

A man of substance?
From The Observer
Andrew Rawnsley in the Observer also expresses reservations about David Cameron's ability to reform the Tories:
David Cameron is a pilot who can't get his undercarriage up. His leadership of the Tory party left the runway with impressive speed, considerable élan and a strong following wind from a friendly media. But now he is struggling to gain any altitude. I sniff the sweet smell of panic in the Tory leader's cockpit about what he and his modernisers can do before the right wingers in their party try to storm the pilot's cabin.
You can see why they are getting a little frantic. David Cameron had a dream start, the most sun-blessed honeymoon a new Tory leader could ask for. To him was gifted a divided Labour party, an embarrassed Liberal Democrat party, a Conservative party willing him to be a success and a benign press drooling over his every photo-opportunity; his wife even provided a new baby to kiss.
The problem appears to be that David Cameron is out of step with his Party:
The electorate's negative feelings towards the Conservative party are too deeply embedded to be simply magicked away by David Cameron sporting his Converse trainers and saying he will stick a wind turbine on the roof of his new house. A revealing poll by ICM for Channel 4 News had well over half of the respondents agreeing with the proposition that Mr Cameron was a new face, but his party hadn't really changed at all.
This presents him with a big problem and a form of consolation. At least it provides him with a temporary alibi which he and his allies have eagerly seized on to try to head off attacks on his approach from the rumbling right. Nice leader, shame about our party. That has been the thrust of the message, albeit delivered in code, to the Tory spring conference in Manchester this weekend. The chairman told them that there was nothing wrong with David Cameron in the eyes of the electorate. 'People really do think he is the goods,' said Mr Maude, using the ad-speak for which the Tory modernisers have a profound weakness. 'We now need to convince them that the whole party has changed.'
Mr Cameron was right to move quickly to change his party, but the very rapidity of what he has done is bound to breed questions in the mind of the sceptical public about the sincerity and depth of his modernisation of the Conservatives.
When Tony Blair took over the Labour party, it had been set on a modernising trajectory for some years. He could locate his leadership in a narrative of change that had begun 11 years earlier with Neil Kinnock. What Labour took more than a decade to manage, David Cameron is trying to achieve in a much shorter time. The voters are understandably suspicious when a party tries to present itself as an overnight convert.
Could it be though that David Cameron is not the messiah he is being made out to be? People I have spoken to, who have no record of political involvement other than their dedication to voting, think that he is a carbon-copy of Tony Blair. Most of them do not trust or like Blair anymore, but will stick with him rather than take a risk on a political look-a-like who they do not know and who has no track-record.
Cameron's weakness is not his flip-flopping, it is that people do not trust him precisely because he has set out to mould himself and his party into something that neither are. In these circumstances, a principled and well-led Liberal Democrat party has everything to play for.


In this month's "How's the Market?" we take a look into good news expected later this year… and talk about how to control the narrative until the media narrative catches up with what's actually happening.
PS: If you'd like to get more insights into what Steve Harney and his team at KCM can do for you, click here.
So this month, we're picking up where we left off last month with the negative media headlines that aren't exactly accurately representing the state of the real estate market. Now think about it, when most people hear that word 'recession' today, they think that means a housing crisis and a huge financial meltdown. But why wouldn't they? That's simply their experience from just a decade ago. You and I both know it's not the case though when you actually look at the historical data.
What we know is that only one of the last six 'recessions' had negatively impacted the housing market. So the first dilemma that we need to address with all of our prospects, our past clients sphere and more, is that most people, and certainly not the media, don't recognize this. And in the case of the media, we both know that they're knowingly misrepresenting the facts in those headlines in the name of clicks and ad revenue. Let's just call it for what it is.
The second problem is that the so called negative headlines are likely going to continue trickling out throughout late Q2 and even Q3 and all the way through Q4 of 2019. Now think about that. So if it's going to be out there, we have to know what to say to combat it.
Here's a fun tip, according to Ivy Zelman, the early 2019 indicators are actually very strong. The key is avoiding the consumer panic in the marketplace until the media cycle catches up with the actual data. Remember, they're just looking at lagging numbers. That's why it's up to you to control the narrative.
Finance blogger Morgan Housel says there's a widespread assumption that a recession could be as bad as 2008. It's a natural conclusion based upon people's recent memory, but he goes on to say it's statistically highly unlikely. He even goes as far to say any upcoming 'recession' could be over before you even realize that it happened.
So for more proof, let's compare where we are today to 2008. Ralph McLaughlin, the Deputy Chief Economist at CoreLogic, points out that inventory was at crazy high levels in 2008 when demand dropped off. You and I both know that's not what's happening now. There isn't an overabundance of homes on the market today. Even though inventory is rising, we're still facing an inventory challenge in the vast majority of the mid to low end price ranges. So there's no way to create that same 'crash' as 2008.
I strongly encourage you to go back to KCM's messaging on their blog page to really read and then ultimately spread the word to your marketplace and continue to be the calming force and the knowledge broker helping your buyers and sellers. So your clients can avoid the panic that many will experience without this information.
Just in the last few articles they put up, you're going to find, number one, Three Reasons Why We Are Not Heading Towards Another Housing Crash. That'd be a good one for you read. Number two, Why An Economic Slowdown Will NOT Crush Real Estate This Time. That's an important one. And the third one is No Worries … Home Prices Coming In For SOFT Landing. You can use these three articles to your advantage by controlling your own narrative and helping the market understand what's really going on.
I hope you're getting value from these conversations. I want to say thank you so much for watching, and I look forward to seeing you next month.

A: Suppose the condition 1 holds true, and let $\alpha \in \mathbb R$. If $x_0\in f^{-1}((\alpha, +\infty))$, then let $\varepsilon =f(x_0)-\alpha$. By hypothesis, there is some $\delta>0$ such that $f(x)>f(x_0)-\varepsilon=\alpha$ whenever $\lVert x-x_0\rVert<\delta$. Equivalently, the ball of radius $\delta>0$ centered at $x_0$ lies in $f^{-1}((\alpha,+\infty))$. Since this is true for all $x_0\in f^{-1}((\alpha,+\infty))$, we conclude that $f^{-1}(\alpha,+\infty)$ is open, that is, $f^{-1}((-\infty, \alpha])$ is closed. Thus the condition 2 holds true.
Conversely, suppose that the condition 2 holds true, and let $x_0\in X$. Given $\varepsilon>0$, the set $f^{-1}((-\infty,f(x_0)-\varepsilon])$ is closed, and thus its complement $f^{-1}((f(x_0)-\varepsilon,\infty))$ is open. Because $x_0\in f^{-1}((f(x_0)-\varepsilon,\infty))$, this means that there is some $\delta>0$ such that the ball of radius $\delta$ centered at $x_0$ lies in $f^{-1}((f(x_0)-\varepsilon,\infty))$. This $\delta $ satisfies the requirement in the condition 1.

The proof is very, very similar to the proof that continuity of a function is equivalent to continuity at all points in the domain. In fact, $X$ need not be a normed vector space, but any metric space.


← 546 "You Don't Have to Live Like a Referee"
A pixelated three-eyed crow flies past a logo saying "Simcraft: Parodies are Easy!"
"Luca$" is the seventeenth episode of season 25. It originally aired on April 6, 2014. Zach Galifianakis guest starred as Lucas Bortner.
"Lisa is charmed when she meets competitive eater-in-training Lucas Bortner, and she agrees to help him with his 'career'. Marge is worried Lisa is falling for someone like Homer. Meanwhile, Bart saves Snake from the police and in gratitude, Snake rewards him stolen gifts. But, when Milhouse's MyPad is stolen, Snake ends up, confoundedly, back in the slammer."
The episode begins at the school, where Homer is sleeping in the playground Spiral Stairs. Marge is dropping Bart and Lisa off at school, and they are hiding so they can preserve their reputations. Homer explains his story and suddenly, the Spiral Stairs fall over. Bart is later seen in Principal Skinner's Office, giving an alibi on why he was tardy. Skinner decides to pursue physical action, and while he's distracted with Willie, Bart makes a run for it. Bart manages to escape Skinner, whose car accidentally reverses into the Auto Shop. Bart takes refuge in his treehouse, where he discovers that Snake Jailbird is hiding there. Snake reveals he is commuting crimes to help his son, Jeremy. Chief Wiggum arrives, thinking Snake is there, so Bart lies that Snake made it to the top of Mount Springfield.
Back at school, Lisa sees a boy choking on pizza. She performs the Heimlich Maneuver on him, and he reveals his name is Lucas (or as he pronounces it, Luca-dollar, because of the $ in his name) Bortner and he's a competitive eater. She doesn't think that competitive eating is for him, and suddenly gets a crush on him. She then thinks about changing him.
Snake, grateful for Bart's actions, steals a PlayStadium 4 (Parody of the PlayStation 4) and leaves it in Bart's room. Milhouse suspects something, and thinks it was stolen. Lucas arrives at the Simpson House for a meeting with Lisa about his eating strategies. Inside the house, Patty and Selma start insulting Lucas, and comparing him to Homer.
Marge, who is eavesdropping on Lisa and Lucas, believes Lisa is going to marry Lucas and ruin her future. She soon tells Homer to take Lisa on a 'date' at a fancy restaurant and act like a gentleman, but Homer is (at first) reluctant, and he takes offense when he thinks that Marge thinks that marrying a person like him is a bad thing.
Bart goes up to the treehouse, where he finds out Snake stole Mihouse's myPad. Milhouse confronts Bart and demands how Bart received so many free gifts. Bart reveals his secret, which turns out to be a mistake because Milhouse reveals Snake to the authorities, who vow to execute him in the Electric Chair. At Moe's, Homer finally (sort of) gets the courage to ask Lisa out for dinner, which she immediately accepts. Bart cycles to the Police Station and explains Snake's story to release him. Chief Wiggum rejects, but Snake escapes anyway, vowing to go straight, otherwise the cops have to kill him.
On his 'date' with Lisa, Homer vows not to embarrass Marge, He soon finds Marge there, who explains that she's sorry. He forgives her when she reveals she's wearing a purple dress she bought after selling the sewing machine she never used.
Back at school, Lisa discovers Lucas quit competitive eating and he decides to do 'What Adele does'. Lisa tries to teach him how to whistle, but he fails.

Sudbury's health unit contemplates 'immense' changes

More from Sudbury Star Staff

The provincial government announced its budget last week. In it were drastic changes, and significantly reduced funding, regarding the delivery of public health care services — changes that are leaving officials in Sudbury scrambling.
"Many questions remain and the full scope, financial details, and specific timelines for these changes have yet to be communicated, but we anticipate the impact will be immense," said Ward 6 Coun. Rene Lapierre, who chairs the board of Public Health Sudbury and Districts. "Locally, we are working to understand the implications and communicate to staff and the community what we know so far."
There are currently 35 public health units and 35 boards of health operating throughout the province. They will be dissolved and 10 new regional entities, with boards, will be established by 2020-21. To date, the geographic service boundaries of these entities have not been communicated.
As per last week's provincial budget, funding cuts in the amount of $200 million are to be achieved across the local public health system by the fiscal year 2021-22. This represents a potential reduction in provincial grants for cost-shared programs of up to 27 per cent.
The health unit is bracing for change and increased resource constraints, said Dr. Penny Sutcliffe, Sudbury and districts medical officer of health.
"We are mobilizing within the northeast and are working with our four neighbouring public health units to get ready for change," she said. "We have had a northeastern collaborative shared services project underway and it is now adjusting its focus to how together we can shape the restructuring of the public health system across the region.
"My goal is that we are an early adopter and figure out how best to serve the public health needs of people in the North East – all within a context of one new organization and severely constrained resources."
Effective immediately, the health unit has implemented several strategies in response to the provincial budget. These include a hiring freeze and the cancellation of all non-essential spending.
"Public health programs and services are essential to the health of local communities," Sutcliffe added. "We will continue to offer the full scope per the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care's Ontario public health standards, without interruption and for as long as possible."
Public health units say they act as bridges to support and create community collaboration within the health sector and beyond. The work of public health is foundational to community health by seeking to amplify the health potential of decisions made in all sectors. Direct services are delivered to people in addition to collaborative work to ensure that community decisions are informed by a health lens.

Syrian government and Iran-backed groups send reinforcements to northern Aleppo following Turkish threats: SOHR
The reinforcements include rocket launchers, heavy artillery, and armored personnel carriers

Syria Aleppo Turkey-SDF tensions SDF Tel Rifaat
ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – Syrian government and Iranian-backed armed groups deployed forces in villages and towns in northern Aleppo following Turkish threats, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Monday.
The reinforcements include rocket launchers, heavy artillery, and armored personnel carriers deployed to the towns and villages of Al-Ziyarah, Deir Jamal, Kharibkah, Abyan, Maranaz, and Mengh military airport, where both pro-Syrian government forces and Kurdish forces are present.
The SOHR report said reinforcements have been deployed along the frontlines with Turkish forces and "National Army" factions in the northern Aleppo countryside and Shirawa district in Afrin countryside.
In October 2019, Syrian government forces entered Tal Tamr and other towns under a Moscow-backed agreement with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) following a Turkish offensive in the area.
Despite this, tensions continue between Damascus and the SDF to the present.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan recently threatened to launch a new operation.
Turkey might target Tel Rifaat in northern Aleppo, Kobani, Ain Issa, or Manbij, the pro-government Turkish newspaper Yeni Safak reported six days ago.
Since April, Turkish-backed groups have increased shelling against these areas and carried out drone attacks.
Tel Rifaat is a strategic town on the road between Aleppo and Azaz, an area that Turkey considers a 'red line' for Syrian Kurdish territorial ambitions. It was captured from rebel groups by the Syrian People's Protection Units (YPG) in 2016.
The Tel Rifaat area and Kurdish villages in northern Aleppo have hosted tens of thousands of displaced civilians from Afrin since early 2018, when Turkey and its militia proxies invaded and occupied the Kurdish enclave.
Moreover, nearby are also the Shiite towns of Nubul and Zahra in northern Aleppo, which Syrian rebel groups previously besieged. Consequently, Iran might oppose a Turkish offensive near Tel Rifaat.
On Saturday, Iran Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh underlined that Tehran "is opposed to any use of force on the soil of other countries to resolve disputes."

How Long Is Your Car Impounded for a DUI in Florida?
If I Plan on Pleading Guilty, Do I Still Need a Criminal Lawyer?
Sexual Battery vs. Sexual Assault
Partners on call 24/7
Florida Statute § 216.1932 is the state's implied consent law. Under this statute, any person who accepts the privilege of operating a motor vehicle within Florida is, by so operating such vehicle, deemed to have given his or her consent to submit to an approved chemical test when suspected of driving under the influence (DUI) of alcoholic beverages.
In most cases, an alleged offender will be asked to submit to a roadside breath test administered on a portable device as well as a breath test usually performed on a machine known as an Intoxilyzer 8000 at the actual police station. Breath testing is generally considered to be the least invasive form of testing for blood or breath alcohol concentration (BAC) and typically provides immediate test results, but the tests also need to be administered in accordance with numerous requirements in order for any evidence to be allowable in criminal cases.

While the implied consent law leads most people to believe that they are obligated to comply with requests to submit breath samples, the truth is people do have the right to decline such testing. A person who exercises this right, however, can face other consequences in addition to possible prosecution for a DUI offense.
Florida Statute § 216.1932 provides that a law enforcement officer must inform a person that failure to submit to any lawful test of his or her breath will result in the suspension of his or her driver's license for one year for a first refusal or 18 months for a second or subsequent refusal. Additionally, Florida Statute § 216.1939 makes it a first-degree misdemeanor for a person to refuse to submit to a breath test when his or her license has been previously suspended for failure to submit to a lawful test and:
the arresting law enforcement officer had probable cause to believe the alleged offender was driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle in this state while under the influence of alcoholic beverages, chemical substances, or controlled substances;
the alleged offender was placed under lawful arrest for a violation of Florida Statute § 316.193 unless such test was requested pursuant to Florida Statute § 316.1932(1)(c) (relating to the administration of a breath or urine test being impractical or impossible during treatment at a hospital, clinic, or other medical facility);
the alleged offender was informed that, if he or she refused to submit to such test, his or her privilege to operate a motor vehicle would be suspended for a period of one year or, in the case of a second or subsequent refusal, for a period of 18 months;
the alleged offender was informed that a refusal to submit to a lawful test of his or her breath, urine, or blood, if his or her driving privilege has been previously suspended for a prior refusal to submit to a lawful test of his or her breath, urine, or blood, is a misdemeanor; and
the alleged offender, after having been so informed, refused to submit to any such test when requested to do so by a law enforcement officer or correctional officer.
A first-degree misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
While people who refuse to submit breath samples often know that they have avoided giving evidence to prosecutors, the individuals who do provide specimens often assume they are destined to be convicted because the breath test results were in violation of Florida BAC limits. The truth is that many different kinds of breath samples have been thrown out of courts all over the Sunshine State for various types of mistakes by law enforcement agencies.
Some of the most common reasons that breath test results can be challenged in court and possibly declared inadmissible include, but are not limited to:
Failure to calibrate or improper calibration of breath testing device;
Failure to follow certain testing, set up, or other procedures;
Failure to conduct observation period;
Failure to properly inform alleged offender of consequences of refusal;
Improper administration of breath test;
Errors concerning partition ratios, mouth alcohol detection, breath volume, or other factors;
Results impacted by alleged offender's medical condition;
Improper notarization of breath test affidavit;
Discrepancy between samples exceeds legal limits;
Test conducted by unauthorized individual; or
Other violations of the Florida Administrative Code.

These Were Some Of Princess Diana's Favorite Foods
Georges De Keerle/Getty Images
By Cristine Struble/July 1, 2021 2:12 pm EST
While she may always be remembered as the "People's Princess," Princess Diana's favorite foods might vary a little from what a commoner might serve for dinner. Although some people might think that a royal meal might be a grand affair like an episode of "The Crown," the reality of the food served at the table might not be quite as elaborate. In a YouTube video, the former princess's chef, Darren McGrady, shared a few stories on those favorite foods, cooking adventures, and even a few mishaps in the kitchen.
According to McGrady, one of Princess Diana's favorite foods was egg suzette. The potato, egg, and spinach dish seems to make a tasty lunch, brunch, or even light dinner. Overall, his recollection of her favorite foods seem to have a slight theme of "stuffed" dishes. From stuffed peppers to stuffed eggplant to even lobster thermidor, these choices seem fit for a princess. Although some of those dishes seem a tad traditional, McGrady shared that Princess Diana loved lychees. That touch of the exotic fruit seems to be in contrast to her preference for bread and butter pudding as a dessert. In some ways, it seems that the princess's food preferences were both a touch of comfort food, with a hint of glamour. Just like she intrigued the world, these food choices leave people wanting to know more.

As shared by McGrady, the royal's favorite food list was quite varied yet approachable (via YouTube). Although her tastes were relatively simple, her former chef did find that one food fell off the favorite list. After responding to a request for her preferred food choices and stating that she liked salmon, McGrady shared that the Princess commented "what's with all you chefs and salmon." With too many events trying to appease the Princess with her favorite food, it fell out of grace. After that comment, McGrady would change his responses when asked about her food preference requests.
The cook also shared other tasty tidbits about Princess Diana and her food choices. Although she occasionally preferred to enjoy her lunch in the kitchen, it appears that she was not a good cook. From McGrady labeling dishes with cooking time sticky notes to having to call the palace guard for a potential gas stove problem, it seems that the princess was best left to enjoying a plate of food instead of preparing it.

Biden and Putin engage in "high-stakes" diplomacy: The paradoxical path to courageous faithfulness
By Dr. Jim Denison
Dr. Jim Denison is a cultural apologist who helps people respond biblically and redemptively to the vital issues of our day. He is also the co-founder and Chief Vision Officer of the Denison Forum, a Dallas-based nonprofit that comments on current issues through a biblical lens.
President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, arrive to meet at the 'Villa la Grange', in Geneva, Switzerland, June 16, 2021. (AP Photo/Patrick Semansky, File)
The White House announced on Monday that the US will not send an official delegation to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. This action is in response to China's "ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang," according to Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
The next day, President Biden spoke on a video call with Russian President Vladimir Putin in what the New York Times called a "high-stakes diplomatic effort . . . to de-escalate a crisis over Ukraine as tens of thousands of Russian troops amass along the Ukrainian border, raising fears of an invasion."
After the conference, which lasted just over two hours, the White House reported that President Biden "voiced the deep concerns of the United States and our European allies about Russia's escalation of forces surrounding Ukraine and made clear that the US and our Allies would respond with strong economic and other measures in the event of military escalation."
"More couples are ditching monogamy"
Escalating tensions with China and Russia are indeed "high-stakes" issues. However, several stories that have received less attention in recent days are deeply significant for Christ followers. To illustrate my assertion yesterday that "there is a battle going on for the soul of our nation," consider these reports:
Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra announced that his agency would force faith-based adoption agencies to violate their beliefs regarding human sexuality or risk not receiving federal funds.
The city of Boston has approved 284 requests for outside groups to use one of its City Hall flagpoles to promote agendas such as gay pride, but it rejected a group that wanted to display a Christian flag for one hour. Even the ACLU agrees that the city violated the group's free speech rights.
A significant academic effort is underway to legitimize and normalize pedophilia, seeking to destigmatize what advocates call "intergenerational intimacy," but the Bible calls this sin worthy of the severest judgment (Matthew 18:6).
Yahoo! Lifestyle is carrying this headline: "More Couples Are Ditching Monogamy (and You Can, Too)." The article espouses what it calls "ethical nonmonogamy." (What a contradiction in terms!) It defines and endorses various ways people participate in such unbiblical sexual practices (cf. Hebrews 13:4; 1 Corinthians 6:18; Matthew 5:28; 1 Corinthians 5:1).
The devil's "anesthetic"
In my experience, dealing with momentary crises can be easier in some ways than facing ongoing, seemingly unending challenges. We can get through a broken arm and its consequences, but perennial back pain can be debilitating.
This is one of the reasons many of us were so grateful for the example set by Sen. Bob Dole. As I noted yesterday, his grievous wounds from his World War II service created enormous challenges for him every day for all the decades since. And yet he chose to serve his country with "dignity and integrity," as congressional leaders stated after his death. I wish I could be in Washington tomorrow to join those who will honor him as his body lies in state at the US Capitol.
If American Christians were facing only short-term challenges, that would be one thing. The fact that our secularized culture seems so strongly and deeply opposed to biblical morality can tempt us to abandon our call to missional engagement (Matthew 5:13–16).
As Howard Hendricks noted, "Discouragement is the anesthetic the devil uses on a person just before he reaches in and carves out his heart."
"The righteous are bold as a lion"
If we will not give up on God, the enemy will tempt us to take God's place. Spiritual retreat and spiritual self-sufficiency both advance his demonic agenda in our lives and culture.
The right response is to say with David, "The Lᴏʀᴅ is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lᴏʀᴅ is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1).
When we remember all that God has done, we are encouraged to trust him for all he will do. If he would elevate Joseph from Potiphar's prison to Pharaoh's palace, he can use our lives and legacy for his eternal purposes. If he would elevate Daniel from exile to prime minister and Peter from fishing in Galilee to preaching at Pentecost and witnessing to the Sanhedrin, he will fully use anyone who is willing to be fully used.
Scripture states, "The righteous are bold as a lion" (Proverbs 28:1), but we must be righteous. "I can do all things through him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13), but I must ask him to strengthen me. We can answer the ongoing challenges of these days with sacrificial courage, but we must first say with David, "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you" (Psalm 56:3).
Making God "the victim of our impatience"
To this end, I will close with a reflection by Henri Nouwen that I found unusually insightful and practically helpful. He noted:
"Prayer is in many ways the criterion of Christian life. Prayer requires that we stand in God's presence with open hands, naked and vulnerable, proclaiming to ourselves and to others that without God we can do nothing.
"This is difficult in a climate where the predominant counsel is 'Do your best and God will do the rest.' When life is divided into 'our best' and 'God's rest,' we have turned prayer into a last resort to be used only when all our resources are depleted. Then even the Lord has become the victim of our impatience.
"Discipleship does not mean to use God when we can no longer function ourselves. On the contrary, it means to recognize that we can do nothing at all, but that God can do everything through us. As disciples, we find not some but all of our strength, hope, courage, and confidence in God. Therefore, prayer must be our first concern."
Is prayer your "first concern" today?

Schenn Gives Coyotes 'Insurance Policy' on Blue Line
July 24, 2016 by Mark Brown
At first glance, this appears to be another transition to boost a marginal blue line contingent. If Arizona Coyotes' coach Dave Tippett is to be believed, the principal off-season objective of the team was to improve goals allowed, and getting help on defense was critical.
After resigning goalie Louis Domingue to a two-year, reported $2.1 million deal and adding free agent defenseman Alex Goligoski in late June, the Coyotes moved to further strengthen their blue line Saturday. That's when general manager John Chayka signed free-agent defenseman Luke Schenn to a two-year deal worth a reported $2.5 million.
While Schenn brings the reputation for being a physical, defensive, defenseman, the goal of adding players to help cut down on goals allowed seems admirable. In Schenn's case, his potential value may be beyond the usual need for additional help.
A right-handed shot, Schenn is regarded as an insurance policy against a protracted return of defenseman Michael Stone, also a right-handed shot. When Stone tore both his ACL and MCL on March 25 in a game against the Flyers, a lengthy rehab period was established. While a given timetable for recovery is considered six months, it's a given that any athlete heals in different periods. If the six-month recovery period for Stone is adhered to, he would be back around early October. That would then include a training period, and a likely time back in the Coyotes' lineup is targeted for some time in November.
Michael Stone (Amy Irvin – The Hockey Writers)
All of which puts a value on Schenn.
"We want to be known as a place where players want to come and grow," Coyotes' general manager John Chayka said. "We see Luke in that area. After talking to Luke, we believe this a good fit for us, and our job to get him back to where he has been."
Drafted as their first pick and fifth overall in the 2008 draft by the Leafs, Schenn felt his game was similar to defensemen Chris Pronger and Rob Blake. After being dealt to the Flyers in June 2012, and subsequently to the Kings midway last season, Schenn's reputation as an aggressor, he says, was challenged. Schenn's argument is that the game changed since he was drafted by the Leafs, and he made the necessary adjustments.
"The game now is speed and skating," he told Arizona reporters Saturday in a conference call. "You have to play smart and pick your spots to be physical. My goal and I think our team goal, is to make it tough for opponents to play against us."
If Schenn can be expected to replace Stone, at least at the early stage of the season, he will have help with Connor Murphy, another right-handed shot. Murphy, aA restricted free agent, and the Coyotes are currently in discussion, and Chayka believes the negotiations will be smooth. Stone is also in talks with the Coyotes, and he has an arbitration hearing in Toronto set for Aug. 4.
Schenn's Game
For now, the Coyotes feel confident that Schenn can bring a steady game to the blue line. Of the skills the 26-year-old native of Saskatoon brings to the table, the Coyotes are looking for Schenn to provide strong puck movement. Above all, Chayka points out, the organization would like Schenn to provide a solid outlet pass from his own end.
On the agenda for Schenn is coaching sessions, especially during training camp with Coyotes assistant coach Jim Playfair, who works with defensemen. The goal here, Chayka indicated, "is to put Schenn and all our defensemen in proper position" to be productive.
While Schenn said he could have signed with other teams, which he did not mention, he felt the talent in the desert and coaching of Tippett made his decision a rational one.
"I look forward to growing with this team," he said. "There is so much to learn and I want to continue to develop as a hockey player. I know I have not come close to my potential."
Going forward, Schenn cited three dimensions of his game which will help the Coyotes.
"We have guys here who can move the puck, and that's my game as well," he pointed out. "Also, I want to play a solid defensive game, and play a physical game."
If Schenn can accomplish these three goals, the Coyotes would have hit the trifecta in their attempt to cut on goals against, the ultimate for the aim for the season ahead.

No Kill Louisville President Outlines Bid for LMAS Contract
While No Kill Louisville is the only animal advocacy group bidding to take over parts of Metro Animal Services, that doesn't mean the group will win the contract.Mayor Greg Fischer decided to privatize most of the department after a city review found egregious problems within the agency.Many organizations sent questions to the mayor's office asking about the LMAS contract, but none followed through."Most national groups are just not familiar with Louisville and it would be very difficult—and we knew this—it would be very difficult to come into a city with very little local knowledge of the city, the animal shelter, contexts, and I think it makes sense why we didn't see some of those national groups bid on this," says Fischer's spokesman Chris Poynter.A committee will review No Kill Louisville's bid in the next two weeks and make a decision. He says if the committee rejects the offer, the city will have to come up with a "plan B," because it's unlikely the bidding process will be re-opened."We could. [But] I don't see us doing that," says Poynter. "We had 21 days, we had a lot of interest, at least in the public and from animal rights advocates, so I don't see us reopening the process."The bid outlines how No Kill Louisville—a small volunteer organization—will expand to replace a city agency."We've done everything from how to get insurance and benefits for everybody to how to handle payroll and time and attendance. We have researched everything fully to make sure that we're ready if they say yes, we would like you to come in and do this," says No Kill Louisville president Jessica Reid.The bid further outlines how No Kill Louisville will handle the inadequate animal services facility on Manslick Road, which was thought to be a deterrent to other potential bidders.To hear Reid discuss the bid, click below.

Nana Zola & Renoir
The silent film concerts of the Prima Vista Quartet
Under the Second Empire, Nana, a mediocre theatre actress, performs in light plays, the ones that attract Parisian middle-class. Thanks to her conquests, she becomes an adored and wealthy courtesan; she therefore leaves the stage to become a kept woman. Some men will go so far as killing themselves in her name, while count Muffat goes broke and is disgraced just to satisfy her desire of luxury. Nana cheats on him and squanders his money.
Driven by a deep longing to get on the stage again, she joins the wild can-can at Mabille's ball. However, fate is watching: stricken with smallpox, symbol of poetic justice, Nana dies, pursued by the memory of her victims.
Published in 1880, this 9th novel from the Rougon-Macquart of Emile Zola had several times been brought to the screen : since 1910 by the swedish director Kund Lumbye, then, after Renoir in 1926, by Dorothy Arzner in 1934, Christian-Jaque in 1955, Mac Ahlberg in 1970, Maurice Cazeneuve in 1981, Dan Wolman in 1983, and finally, Edouard Molinaro in 2001. Due in particular to Catherine Hessling's striking performance, Jean Renoir's adaptation remains today the most faithful to Zola's novel.
The strength of the story, its tragic dimension, and its timeless analysis of characters (demi-monde women's fascination for money and luxury has not decreased with the Second Empire) explain that rich posterity in the seventh art which has taken over, with predilection, this sweet and deadly moral tale. Regarded as his very first real feature film, Renoir already shows a great formal skillfulness which announces his future works. Even though it won a critical success, his « Nana » was a financial failure, forcing him to sell some of the paintings his father, Auguste Renoir, had left him. He could then pay back his debts, considering that « Nana » had costed him a million francs (64 million euros today).
When Nana has been released, because of a lack of funds, it didn't benefit from an original composed score : Renoir assigned to Maurice Jaubert the task to create a compilation pieces of the classical repertoire. In order to create that film-concert, the Prima Vista Quartet will be joined by a piano – emblematical instrument of the Second Empire parisian saloons – to interpret in live this musical score which won't deny its integration in modernity while remaining true to its composer credo since two decades : serve the movie but not use it. The pianist Carmen Martínez-Pierret, together with the musicians of the quartet, will take up the challenge of this three-hour film-concert.
An event and a feat not to be missed !
The film is presented with a 15 minutes intermission.

Brands and products are nowadays all social media-oriented because they know how useful the brand it is. It does not matter whether you have a multi-billion company or small business company. Some other countries are only growing their business with the help of only social media. Companies had a large exposure by grew their sales with the time and grew their products in the process. Now Instagram is one of the famous social media networks. Nowadays, we can see that slowly Instagram is growing, and unique features are adding by the year. So that lot of brands and businesses moved their attention to Instagram from Twitter and Facebook. You are in the best place if you are the business.
Instagram is a social media network; it was built in 2010. Instagram is purely oriented on videos and photos. Firstly Instagram was available only on Apple devices but later in 2012, it was available on android devices, and in the same year, it was purchased by Facebook.

Wow, that certainly was something wasn't it? Reigning Rookie of the Year, Jacob deGrom, struck out the only three batters he faced on 10 pitches in his first All Star Game; just a great day to be a Mets fan. That was as fun as it gets, and it was the All Star Game at its best.
At its core, the All Star Game is a showcase for the best players in the game. Much like the very first All Star Game at the 1933 Chicago World's Fair, this game featured the best players of our time: Mike Trout, Buster Posey, Bryce Harper, Clayton Kershaw, and yes, Jacob deGrom.
A-Rod giving his spot at SS to Cal Ripken, Jr. at his last All Star Game.
If Jacob deGrom continues to be deGrominant, we will tell our children and grandchildren about him. Part of that story will be his performance in the 2015 All Star Game. It will be known as the day as Jacob deGrom went from a potential ace to a superstar, and that my friend is the beauty of the All Star Game.
