Summer may be nearing a close, but the fruits (and vegetables) of the season promise to provide a myriad of benefits for many months to come. Some of those fresh, raw foods can even benefit your veins, lowering your risk for developing varicose veins or helping you to manage the symptoms of veins that have already occurred. The staff at PCI Vein Center has a list of summer harvest treats that promise healthy benefits for your veins – and the rest of your body.
Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries and blackberries are all brimming with important nutrients like flavonoids, which promote a healthy vascular system overall. Blackberries are a particularly good source of rutin specifically, a flavonoid that may prevent vessels from becoming fragile and developing varicose veins. Tannins, also found in abundance in berries, are potent antioxidant compounds that protect the body (including the vessels) from free radical damage.
In addition to a healthy dose of flavonoids, citrus fruits are rich in antioxidant nutrients like vitamin C. This important vitamin may actually help to strengthen vessels, while protecting them against free radical damage. Hesperidine, a bioflavonoid found in citrus fruits, has also been linked to a healthier vascular system and has been used to treat a range of venous conditions.
Spinach, kale and Brussel sprouts are all good sources of an important nutrient known as quercetin. This substance has been shown to benefit the circulatory system in a number of ways, including serving as a natural preventative for varicose veins. Dark green leafy vegetables like broccoli and cabbage are also high in vitamin C, which helps to prevent and repair free radical damage throughout the body.
This summer staple has also proven its worth with a wealth of healthy benefits. Avocados are rich in both vitamin E and vitamin C, two important antioxidants that offer protection and healing properties. This yummy fruit also contains a significant amount of glutathione, a molecule that has been shown to protect the vascular system from damage.
Apples may be thought of as a fall fruit, but it's not too early to begin reaping the benefits of this fibrous food. Apples are another good source of flavonoids, including rutin, and also contain large amounts of fiber. Fiber has been shown to contribute to a healthy vascular system and prevent the formation of varicose veins. It is also essential to a healthy digestive system and helps you maintain a healthy weight.
The right foods can go far in keeping your body at optimal health and preventing a hose of conditions, including varicose veins. However, if those bulging veins have already appeared, even the healthiest diet won't make them go away. Fortunately, the staff at PCI Vein Center has plenty of minimally-invasive treatment options that eliminate varicose veins without a major disruption to your daily life. To learn more, contact PCI Vein Center at 319-774-8432.

Plebeian Finance
Plebeian finance represents a new approach to the regulation of the financial sector. Forty years of inequality have seen democratic theorists such as John McCormack and Jeffrey Green argue that we need to revive the democratic models of Ancient Rome. Its plebeian class had second class status: plebeians were able to vote, but their votes counted for less than those of the Senatorial and Equestrian classes. Yet the plebeians had distinctive democratic institutions with which they oversaw the elite classes of the republic via a public veto, regulation by publicity, and by placing disproportionate burdens on their elites. What would be the upshot of applying this radical democratic model to finance? If we understand finance as the dispensing of the sovereign public's full faith and credit, this new approach gives a novel underpinning to the separation of investment from other banking, a financial transactions tax, and regulation by exposure to public scrutiny. An inter-disciplinary combination of approaches from economics, law, political economy and political philosophy, the project of plebeian finance dispenses with the standard picture of the sector as made up of private agents whose activities would be disrupted by "red tape" – to the point where regulation might see the supply of credit "dry up". Most money creation is private and multiplicative: the micro-informational perspective of banks leverages the macro-informational perspective of a nation-state's central bank. The privilege of dispensing the "full faith and credit" of the sovereign public can reasonably be accompanied by democratic regulation given that it is constitutive of the operations of the financial sector that it is granted permission to "create" money privately. This project extends novel approaches in democratic theory to a field where regulation is politically contested and in constant danger of being rolled back to "light touch" regulation.

Why Did the Groundbreaking Girls Have Such a Disappointingly Conventional Ending?
Hannah Horvath deserved a better send-off.
When I was still in my 20s, I shared a billing with Lena Dunham. We were both on the lineup for a reading series called "Refresh Refresh Refresh," a semi-regular Friday-night event in a spa-turned-bar on the Lower East Side dedicated to writing about the Internet. What I read I sort of dimly remember. What she read ended up in The New Yorker. Dunham was the headliner that summer evening because her film Tiny Furniture had recently come out to much acclaim—she was the hot new writer-director, someone stopping by this small reading on her way to somewhere much grander. I was just some older guy who worked at Gawker. We met again at a party a few months later. I, of course, remembered who she was. She, understandably, did not remember me. Not too much later, I had a very informal meeting with an executive at HBO in which I sort of limply pitched her a show, and she told me my idea was too young for the network—that actually, the youngest they were going to go was this new show from this promising new writer-director. I asked, "Is it Lena Dunham?" And, of course, it was.
I'm telling you all this not to humble-brag about my failed flailings at writing for television, but to perhaps illustrate how many people feel about Lena Dunham and Girls: jealous, proprietary, personal, both suspicious and in awe. The show, which ended its six-season run on Sunday night, was never the voice of its entire generation, but it was, indeed, a voice, a sometimes loud and urgent one. Which made it contentious—it insisted things about a particularly tuned-in, sensitive demographic. It was daring in that way. It was also rife with problematic stuff that many critics rightfully grabbed onto. The show never grappled with race or, really, privilege in any distinct or worthwhile way, and Hannah having a non-white baby in the end doesn't exactly do the trick in resolving that issue.
All that said, I hate how the show ended. After a run of contemplative, narratively inventive episodes, Girls closed out in disappointingly Apatovian fashion. Hannah, a complicated and inconsistent character, wound up in a dismayingly conventional place: normalized by a baby, subject to the same woes of parenthood that we've seen iterated time and time again, including in several other stories bearing Apatow's signature stamp. Gone was the show's youthful, defiant spark, snuffed out by an unfair insistence that, hey, this is where life is headed inevitably. Get used to it.
That feels antithetical to what Girls was about for most of its run. It's a rush job meant to locate Hannah somewhere in the adult world, one that feels less true to Dunham's youthful rebelliousness than to Apatow's conviction, increasingly evident in his films, that marriage and child- rearing are the most validating, defining things a person can do. In a post-show breakdown that plays after the episode on HBO Go, Dunham says Apatow was "the man behind this breastfeeding plot." I wonder where the show might have gone without his influence, if it maybe could have ended in a more transgressive, more Girls-y place—or if this was where the whole show was heading all along. Who knows!
Girls was always erratic. It was also often dyspeptic, sometimes to the point of near unwatchability. It was unfortunate to see the show return to the cheapest form of that misanthropy last night, Hannah relentlessly sniping at Marnie (Allison Williams) seemingly for the sole purpose of comedic tension. I know many men, including me, have written bad things about how the characters on Girls aren't likable, a criticism rarely leveled against shows about awful, rude men. And overall, it's admirable that Girls never seemed fussed by that noxious argument, making its central four women as mean and caustic as the writers wanted. But I think Girls had earned a little more nuance by the end; it felt like a regression to seasons past to have Hannah as abrasive as she was in the finale. Not because I wanted Hannah Horvath to become a Good Person, but because she sort of had become a better person, in subtle and well-illustrated ways throughout the final two seasons of the show. She'd grown up, as people do, and her temperament had evolved. But then in the finale we found her 25 again, alienating those trying to help her, destructive toward any sense of harmony.
That's the result of early parenthood, the show might argue. Which, sure, I believe that. Raising a baby is no doubt hard, so some testiness from new parents is to be expected. But is that a lesson that Girls seemed destined to teach us when it first, thrillingly, announced itself? What a hoary place to arrive at, in the end. After all that controversy and clamor, how surprising that Girls would go out on such a familiar note. Maybe there's a kind of metaphor in there, about how young and spiky verve gets softened and bowdlerized by time spent in the world. That Hannah wasn't destined to be an independent free-thinker forever, that the onus of motherhood and suburbia was always going to claim her, as it claims so many. If so, that casts the whole show in a rather depressing light. The other possibility, I guess, is that the show was never really sure how to end, and this was just the best idea they came up with. If that's the case, I wish they'd just ended on the lovely ninth episode, with its dancing and happy poeticism.
Girls didn't need a happy ending. It didn't need anything tidy, or comforting, or summative. But it deserved a bit of closure on its core premises, chiefly about what it was (and is) like to be young and hungry and confused and selfish and aware in a world whose answers and glories seem just beyond your grasp. Girls, at its best, was a searching show, one that did genuinely say something about the times it lived in. The series finale sorta threw that all out in a sour and limited half-hour that made the stale point that parenthood is hard, that it's a forever decision, that it limits our purview. That the world shrinks. We knew that already; we've heard it from countless other sources. I guess I was just hoping that Girls would, as it has for five roiling and wondrous years, say something new as it said goodbye.

Russia-Ukraine Latest News: January 1, 2023
Ukraine weathered a fresh New Year's fusillade of missile and drone strikes one day after Russian strikes damaged three schools, a kindergarten, and several private houses. Ukraine's air defense forces said it shot down 45 drones overnight.


Dyslexia Action (formerly known as Dyslexia Institute) announced its closure on 13 April 2017. The UK charity provided dyslexia services and support for over 40 years to thousands of children and adults with dyslexia as well as training many specialist teachers and assessors.
Dyslexia Scotland is very sorry to hear this sad news. The closure of the charity will be a huge loss to the dyslexia world, including those with dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties: children, young people and adults in education and the workplace and the professionals who work with them. Our sympathy also goes to the many talented and dedicated professionals with whom we have worked over the years.


We have come to drag days: The Mail Store is Always Serious!
I bought these stickers in DC and they crack me up every time I look at them. The writing is very small and hard to read, but I will give you a blow by blow.
"The mail store is always serious. It sends to your place. The mail store is always serious. It has delivered in a hurry. However, I want to sometimes rest. "
He has a chick on his head. Why??
"Hello, the letter was come to the report." (translation~"I love you").
To be fair, it is not the concept of a foreign postal service-based rock opera that irks me. It is your refusal to add any more words to the title song "The Mail Store is Always Serious."
Hmm... I kind like the minimalist slant to the whole rock opera. "The Mail Store Is Always Serious. (soft) The Mail Store Is Always Serious. (a little louder) The Mail Store Is Always Serious. (loud) The Mail Store Is Always Serious...and so on."

Lucky's Tale Graphics Comparison – Quest 2 Vs PC
We're back with another side-by-side graphics comparison. This time it's for Lucky's Tale on Oculus Quest 2 and PC.
Surprise! Oculus Rift launch title Lucky's Tale is now available on the Oculus Quest 2.
But how does it compare to the PC VR original?
Lucky's Tale Graphics Comparison
We put that question to the test in our latest video. Developer Playful Corp says this is a remastered version of the 2016 game with improved lighting and performance, remixed audio, and Lucky's character model and animations have been taken from the non-VR sequel, Super Lucky's Tale. But, even if you're remastering for Quest 2, you still don't have the power of a PC to hand.
We often see Quest 2 ports that manage to retain the core look and feel of a game whilst removing lots of extra visual effects (just like in this week's standalone release of Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond). But, impressively, Lucky's Tale really doesn't sacrifice much on Quest 2. As I played through the first three levels of the game in the video above, I kept expecting to see tiny details like butterflies and broken crate pieces absent in this version, but it was all present and accounted for.
What is different is that lighting which, while Playful may say is improved and is certainly workable, gives the game less of its appealing, smooth and toy-like edge. Still, this is a remarkably faithful port that offers basically the same experience for anyone that missed Lucky's Tale the first time around.
And that's our Lucky's Tale graphics comparison. What did you make of the game? Let us know in the comments below!

Alhambra Mayor Jeff Maloney names environment, expanding green space as priorities
Photo by Phoenix Tso.
By: Phoenix Tso
Jeff Maloney named environmental sustainability as his top priority after being sworn in as Alhambra mayor last Tuesday evening.
Maloney called on Alhambra to join other American cities in becoming a net-zero emission city or a city that makes no net release of carbon to the atmosphere.
"It is a lot of cities from around the country that realize that this is not just an environmental issue, which it is, it's a fiscal issue as well — how do we reduce our emissions and our energy usage to the point where we're saving money and we're making our environment as healthy as it can be," he said.
Alhambra city council members take turns as mayor. Maloney will serve a nine-month term.
Maloney also discussed Alhambra's accomplishments so far on the environment, mentioning its membership in the Los Angeles Clean Power Alliance, which will give Alhambra access to electricity from renewable sources and reduce utility costs.
Other priorities of Maloney's include expanding parks, open space and recreational opportunities, including planning for a long-promised dog park. The mayor also directed staff to study innovative economic and transportation trends, so that Alhambra could adapt to attracting forward-thinking enterprises and alleviating traffic issues through new technologies like self-driving cars.
"Our main is goal is to make sure that we have a sustainable community for generations to come," Maloney said, encouraging residents to show up at public meetings and keep in touch through social media.
Luis Ayala was also sworn in as vice mayor on Tuesday. The long-time city council member, who is stepping down next year due to term limits, took the opportunity to commend the Alhambra City Council for all it had accomplished.
"I always like to tell residents and neighbors that the best way to tell whether or not we're successful here in the city is to simply drive around, look at our parks, look at our economic development, look at our housing, look at how many streets we've paved, look at so many different restaurants, the diversity that we can all be proud of in the city," he said.

And any audit undertaken should be independent. Firms hired by a city know what kind of result the city wants and they provide that result so that they can keep getting the cities business. Really, Assemblyman Chau as well as the Joint Committee on Legislative Audit need to have the state conduct an audit on the City's contractual practices. The Chamber contracts are just the tip of the iceberg.
Mayor Maloney would do all of us a service by leading the way to transparency with an audit of the Chamber contracts . $320,000 dollars per year that is not accounted for is criminal negligence. Not even one audit in 30 years! That is how much of our tax money goes to the conservative organization known as the Alhambra Chamber of Commerce. This is the same organization that lobbies against environmental laws, minimum wage and denies global warming. That does not reflect the Alhambra I know. So Mayor Maloney make the facts and figures available to the public or respond here with an explanation why this is not the right thing to do.

July 13, 2017, Morristown, NJ – Morristown Medical Center, part of Atlantic Health System, today announced it has randomized the first patient in the world to the EARLY TAVR (Evaluation of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Compared to SurveilLance for Patients With AsYmptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) trial, approved for commencement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Dr. Philippe Genereux, an interventional cardiologist and Co-Director of the Structural Heart Program at the Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute at Morristown Medical Center, serves as the trial's principal (lead) investigator.
Traditionally, patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) – a narrowing of the aortic valve in the heart that keeps it from opening fully – who do not yet have symptoms (asymptomatic), are regularly followed and monitored by their cardiologist, and treatment is not initiated until they become symptomatic. However, many elderly patients with asymptomatic severe AS can develop irreversible heart damage or even die while waiting for symptoms to appear. The EARLY TAVR trial will evaluate whether there is benefit from replacing the aortic valve via a minimally invasive, catheter-based procedure (called a transcatheter aortic valve replacement) before patients develop symptoms (shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, or angina) as compared to the standard of care of watching the patient until symptoms develop.
Evaluation of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Compared to SurveilLance for Patients With AsYmptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis (EARLY TAVR) is a randomized, controlled, multi-center clinical trial study. Patients aged 65 and older diagnosed with asymptomatic, severe aortic stenosis will be randomized to receive a transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 heart valve, or standard of care clinical surveillance.
Patients will be randomized (TAVR or surveillance) based on their ability to perform a treadmill stress test, as well as other factors. Those patients with a positive treadmill stress test or who do not meet other factors for randomization may be followed in a registry for data collection on subsequent treatment and mortality, as applicable.
The EARLY TAVR trial is sponsored by Edwards Lifesciences.
Aortic stenosis (AS), one of the most common and serious valve diseases, is a narrowing of the aortic valve opening, which restricts blood flow from the left ventricle of the heart to the aorta. Symptoms of AS include loss of breath, chest pain such as pressure or tightness of the chest region, fainting, feelings of a heavy, pounding heart, decreased physical activity or an unusual sound heard between heartbeats known as a heart murmur. For patients considered intermediate or high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement, TAVR is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive surgical procedure to replace an aortic valve that has narrowed and fails to properly open.
The Gagnon Cardiovascular Institute at Morristown Medical Center, part of Atlantic Health System, was the first hospital in New Jersey to offer TAVR for aortic stenosis, and treats more valve patients than any other hospital in New Jersey. Because of our volume and trusted, earned credibility with the sponsors of the trials – pharmaceutical, biotech, or medical device companies – we are proud to be able to offer a number of clinical trials for the treatment of valvular disease. We are actively participating in trials for aortic, mitral and tricuspid valves.
Clinical trials offer patients access to the latest treatment advancements. Though participation in a clinical trial may be a risk, Atlantic Health System works closely with the United States Food and Drug Administration to ensure patients who participate in clinical trials are watched closely by their doctor and medical team to ensure their safety. Atlantic Health System's internal review board which oversees human research subject protection also closely evaluates the trials to ensure they have already been well-established in safety trials before allowing them to begin on any of our premises.

I am starting to fall into a routine with this job, and suspect that daily entries won't be necessary any more. Certainly, I am going to the same places again.
For example, today I went to BNSF to pick up a load. I'd been there before, a huge railroad yard. I hope the strike hadn't affected them, but saw no sign it had; there were no picket lines or anything like that to cross.
On the other hand, I couldn't find the trailer I was assigned to pick up. The man at the "information kiosk" didn't have much to share, and even less interest in sharing what he did have. There was a computer terminal on which I looked the trailer up, and which reported it was in Lot 3. But I check every single trailer in Lot 3, and Lots 1 and 2 as well, and couldn't find it.
As usual, I tried sending a Qualcomm message; as usual after 4 pm, it wasn't answered; so I called. After the required fifteen minutes of listening to music (they had switched to the 60s from the 80s; I didn't realize there had been that many Soft Hits of the 60s), I finally spoke with a woman who put me on hold so she could call the customer. She was actually quite helpful, but what we discovered was that BNSF had lost our trailer, and were going to look for it.
I was to wait in my truck outside the information kiosk, and the man would come out and get me when they found the trailer.
The man who was originally there didn't smile or acknowledge me when I paraded myself in front of him so he'd know I was there. And then, after a couple of hours passed, he left and a kid took his place. I got out of the truck, introduced myself to the kid, and told him what I was waiting for.
A roach coach pulled up and I thought, at least I can get something to eat. I started to get out of the truck, when the kid exited the building. I thought he was going to talk to me, but he approached a Coke machine and began seriously studying its choices.
I got out and ordered something to eat at the coach, a steak-and-egg burrito. As I returned to my truck, I heard a can emit from the Coke machine—it had taken the kid five minutes to decide?—and the kid called me. "Oh, they found your trailer," he said. "Lot 5."
"Lot 5?" I asked. "Where's that?"
"It's the other place," he said. "You have to leave, drive around the block, and go in the back." He gave me detailed directions, and I finished my burrito and finally, after a wait of five hours, got my trailer.
That's five hours of not driving, not getting paid, by the way. This is time I am encouraged to log as "Off Duty", though I certainly was not "free to pursue my own interests."
Doing so just makes it appear that I am not being as underpaid as I am. The encouragement is in the form of the 70-hour rule, which says I can only be On Duty for a maximum of 70 hours every eight days. If I log time like this as On Duty, I might run out of hours to run later in the week, and not be able to make that driving money. So, most drivers lie on their logs, and maintain the fiction that we are better paid than we are.
Or, if they don't lie, they rationalize. One driver told me, "I am free to pursue my own interests. My interest is in saving hours so I can make the mileage and get paid for it."
The load itself, now that I had it, had to be in Oxnard, CA that night. Obviously, that wasn't going to happen. Customer Service called the client and made new arrangements for a morning delivery. That meant, instead of sleeping that night—and I needed sleep, after the vigil in the BNSF yard—I would, again, be driving up the Grapevine at night.
This would be the second time; I've still never seen it in the daylight.
I got sent home, though I had to pick up a load while there. The load came from Reckitt Benckiser, the same company that had supplied the very first load I picked up on my own. So, I knew where it was. I had to slide the tandems to the fifth hole as per California law. But, once attached to the truck and legal, I pulled the trailer to the Phoenix drop yard, parked it, and went home with Michael.
I had little time there. A top priority was to take my grandson, Zachary, swimming. Another was to do laundry. I looked at the small mountain of mail on my desk and decided, another time.
Repairs shouldn't be routine, but they are rapidly becoming so.
I kissed Michael goodbye, then pulled out of the Phoenix drop yard; turned two corners (perfectly!), and sat waiting for the final stop light between me and the highway to change, when there was a crash! from behind that shook the truck. My God, I thought, some idiot has crashed into the back of a stopped truck! I put on my emergency flashers, jumped out, and ran to the back of the trailer. There was a car there, but it was undamaged and the driver was looking at me as if to say, "What's wrong with you? Get in! The light is green!"
It was very strange. My teeth had rattled from the impact, yet no one around seemed to take any heed and there was no sign of a problem.
If it was an hallucination, it was a very realistic one.
I got back in, put the truck in gear, and eased out onto the Interstate. The truck rolled smoothly, no problems.
I did find, however, that the air conditioner was no longer working.
Fortunately, the night was a pleasant enough temperature and I didn't really need it right then. But it gets mighty hot in Arizona even in the Fall; I didn't have any idea where I was going after Fontana, but Fontana would be my last chance to get the air conditioning fixed. And so, I would be spending another day in the repair bay.
But the air conditioning going out couldn't have caused the crash I felt.
Suddenly, I realized what it must be. One of the tires had blown! Of course, it wouldn't impact the driving of a light load. I could get it fixed at Fontana, quickly, probably before dropping the trailer at the consignee's.
Realizing I had to go to the bathroom, I pulled into the Pilot at Quartzsite. It was pretty crowded, as it usually is at that hour; but I found a slot and attempted to back into it.
I mean, it moved; but it wouldn't move where I wanted it to. I found myself having actually made a 360º turn without getting the thing in the hole; finally, a driver called over to me, "You're never going to back that thing in with the tandems slid all the way to the back."
I looked. Sure enough, the tandems were all the way to the back. Fortunately, I hadn't yet cross the border into California, where that position would be illegal.
But I had put them in the right location—I was sure of it!
As I stooped, inspecting the tandems, another driver approached. "Need some he'p?" he offered.
"Uh—yeah!" I replied with gratitude.
After a few moments, he said, "Well, here's yer trouble…the hydraulic <something> is busted." I couldn't quite make out what he said, having had my attention riveted to the word "busted". There was a thing under the trailer that looked exactly like the hydraulic arm on a screen door on any back porch. Except, it was covered in greased, and connected to a device that had little knobs on it that looked like they could be pushed, but couldn't.
"I kin fix it," he said. "Let me get my hammer."
Lost, as I was, trying to remember which macro to send to Road Repair, and how I would describe this problem, and thanking my stars I was in a truck stop already, and wondering how badly this would impact my on-time delivery, I didn't really realize what the driver had said until I saw him aiming a small sledgehammer at the bottom of my trailer. Wham! "That's almost done it!" he cried. Wham! "Try it now!"
"Try what?" I said, ears ringing.
"Sliding the tandems! Back up yer tractor!"
So I slipped into the driver's seat, released the tractor brakes but not the trailer brakes, and tried backing up while watching my new, best friend in the mirror. He made an odd, vibrating gesture that either meant, "Stop!" or "Keep going!" I had been going, so I stopped. He aimed his hammer again—wham!—then said, "Oops!"
"Well, it's in…but it's in pin six. You ain't goin' to California, are ya?"
"Oh, well, They probably won't notice, anyway."
He left, taking his hammer with him, and I got on the Qualcomm to contact Road Repair. Almost to my surprise, they actually answered, and promptly. Their recommendation: no recommendation. The best place to take the trailer to be fixed was Fontana. It wasn't that far; it was on my route. But they couldn't legally ask me to drive the trailer into California with an illegal pin setting.
I thought the old driver was right, though. Only a detailed inspection would reveal that the pin was one hole off; and I'd been delayed enough. I went to the bathroom (my original reason for stopping, and by now I had to walk to it with my legs crossed), returned to the truck, gritted my teeth, and headed for California.
Customer Service sent a message that delivery had been postponed 'til morning. That was good news, at least.
I held my breath when I reached the first California weigh station, but the old driver and I were right: They were not looking for such a minor deviance and I was not stopped.
Finally, I made Fontana and pulled into the emergency repair bay. I slept in my cab while, behind me, the repairman welded for three hours. When he was done, he pounded on the side of the tractor and I recoupled (he asked me to uncouple, since the electric current from the welder would have fried the Qualcomm unit), then delivered the load to the nearby Target distribution center.
Back at Fontana, I then tried to arrange for the air conditioner to be fixed. They were willing to do it, but there was a wait: "There are nine tractors ahead of you," they told me. So, once more, I wound up sleeping through the day at the Days Inn while my truck got fixed. And, even though they had told me it wouldn't be fixed until morning, it was, in fact, ready when I called at 7 pm; and when I reached it, the Qualcomm already had an assignment that I wanted (a long haul) but would be a tight one to make since I hadn't left when the tractor was still in the shop.
Routine. My limited experience suggests it's always like this.

Q: I am having trouble in Python - from import does not working I am trying to import from a specific python file (which I wrote) class that in that file and it seems that python just does not recognize my file.
add image to represent the situation more deeply:
that the file I want to import the Ball class from:

the main file and the error:

mylib
the files

A: To import from the same directory, put a dot at the front of the module name like:
from .shapes import Ball

But if you are running main_Pygame.py as the script then this will not work. You should create a subdirectory for shapes.py, say mylib and then make an empty file called __init__.py there and mve shapes.py to that directory. Then import like:
from mylib.shapes import Ball

The __init__.py file tells python that the mylib directory (or whatever else you wish to call the directory) is part of the directory tree it should look for modules under.

Dow Chemical Fights Proposed Pesticide Ban
November 2, 2015 Elizabeth Warmerdam
(CN) – Fifteen years after prohibiting in-home use of chlorpyrifos, the EPA has proposed banning the pesticide in food crops – a move opposed by its manufacturer, Dow Chemical Co.
Chlorpyrifos, introduced in 1965, is widely used to control pests that threaten more than 60 crops, including almonds, walnuts, oranges, cotton and grapes.
The Environmental Protection Agency's announcement Friday met the Oct. 31 deadline set by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. A three-judge panel told the EPA in August to release a proposed or final rule banning the pesticide or to issue a "full and final" response to a petition filed by the Pesticide Action Network North America and the Natural Resources Defense Council nine years ago.
The EPA said it had intended to issue a proposed rule on the pesticide by April 2016, but the court's deadline did not leave it with enough time to finish its assessment, leaving "certain science issues unresolved."
"Based on EPA's current analysis, there do not appear to be risks from exposure to chlorpyrifos in food, but, when those exposures are combined with estimated exposure from drinking water in certain watersheds, EPA cannot conclude that the risk from aggregate exposure meets the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act safety standard," the agency said.
The EPA barred the pesticide from homes in 2000, saying then that the action was "good news for the protection of our country's public health."
Tolerances for the chemical were revised in 2006 and the EPA limited the crops in which it could be applied. Farms across the nation continue to use more than 5 million pounds of the chemical each year, 25 percent of it in California.
The EPA proposes to revoke all chlorpyrifos tolerances, which would end all uses of the pesticide that result in residue on food, contamination of drinking water, or that drift to schools, homes and other inhabited places.
"Given the incredibly strong science on the health harms of this pesticide, it's absurd that EPA has taken so long to act," said Dr. Margaret Reeves, senior scientist at Pesticide Action Network . "A ban will finally ensure that children, workers and families in rural communities are safe from this drift-prone, bad-actor pesticide."
Dow AgroSciences, a unit of Dow Chemical, which produces the pesticide, said it disagrees with the EPA proposal "and remains confident that all U.S. tolerance issues relating to the continued use of chlorpyrifos can be readily resolved with a more refined analysis of data."
Dow said the product has been thoroughly tested for health, safety and environmental effects.
"Dow AgroSciences is committed to addressing the needs of its U.S. customers for continued access to chlorpyrifos by providing EPA with high quality scientific and regulatory support on a timely basis, as needed to resolve this situation," the company said.
Because the agency's proposal is not a final regulatory act, it will not affect the 2016 growing season.
Patti Goldman, an attorney with Earthjustice, said it is "imperative that EPA move quickly to protect workers and children by finalizing this important rule."
The EPA will accept comments on the rule for two months, and plans to come up with a final rule in December 2016.

The Dark Tower - review
A long-awaited adaptation of the king's of horror and mystery bestseller! Meet Stephen King's The Dark Tower! Is it worth watching?
Written on Monday, December 18, 2017
by LacrimosaD
Don't aim with your eyes, shoot with your mind and kill with your heart…
First up, I'd like to confess… I honestly tried but couldn't… read the Stephen King's The Dark Tower to the end. I've read only somewhere about a fifth of it. I respect Stephen King and his books, but in my humble opinion, the plot develops here toooo slooooowly…
However, I couldn't help learning about the whole story of the famous novel series of one of my favorite writers. So when I found out that the first and very long part of the series became a 95 minute film, I was so glad. So, my opinion about it is going to be absolutely unbiased, because I'll be reviewing the film itself without comparing it to the book.
Name: The Dark Tower
Genre: Horror, fantasy.
Directed by: Nikolaj Arcel
Starring: Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, etc.
Movie info:
There are other worlds than these. Stephen King's The Dark Tower, the ambitious and expansive story from one of the world's most celebrated authors, makes its launch to the big screen. The last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba), has been locked in an eternal battle with Walter O'Dim, also known as the Man in Black (Matthew McConaughey), determined to prevent him from toppling the Dark Tower, which holds the universe together. With the fate of the worlds at stake, good and evil will collide in the ultimate battle as only Roland can defend the Tower from the Man in Black.
What is this movie about?
This movie is about the never-ending battle between good and evil, construction and destruction and light and darkness. The good guys are the Gunslinger that is looking for a revenge and his new teenage friend from Earth.
They are to fight against the villian, who longs to destroy the Dark Tower thus depriving many worlds of their protection.
As far as you understand, the evil, which is The Man in Black is not alone here and has plenty of his apprentices.
How they filmed it.
Right off the bat, I'm not such a huge movie buff and it's quite easy to impress me, so I'm not going to judge this movie strictly. I'm just not able to do it.
When I first watched the trailers, I was impressed by the leading actor in a good way. I thought that he would look different. Throughout the film I got used to him, because he always proved to me that he was the right actor for this role.
I love the acting a lot in this film. Everyone was on top. I was absolutely convinced.
Well, actually it's no surprise, as the actors are professionals and very talented and famous.
The Gunslinger is Idris Elba and the Man in Black is Matthew McConaughey.
Even 17-year old Tom Taylor who is playing a teenager and who is not yet a superstar has already acted in a few movies.
As I have already mentioned, I've found two trailers. I've watched them and decided that the movie was cut short a little bit. A few scenes were taken out. However, the film is still decent without them.
Since this movie is based on the Stephen King's book, I've expected it to be more mysterious. In reality it's more like an action film. Nobody mentioned about it anywhere.
The movie is exciting and quite breathtaking, taking into account the film itself without comparing it to the book, which I haven't read.
Overall summary:
I was captivated by the story during the film. I worried about the heros and I sympathized, although the ending was quite predictable. By the way I was watching this film in the morning, but surprisingly I didn't want to sleep like in the case with 50 Shades of Gray, which I'd been watching in the early morning too.
This movie represents many genres. It's fantasy with magic, miracles
and portals with other civilizations
and an action movie with spectacular combats and gun battles.
Moreover, you can even laugh at some scenes. Plus, perfect actors' portrayals, awesome visual effects, great atmosphere and the gripping story. As a result, it's a film that is worth your attention. I'm glad that I watched it. Definitely recommended!
Thank you for your attention! I hope that my review was helpful for you.

It's been a busy few weeks getting ready for the Judges from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) 'Britain in Bloom' (North West) competition, but what a fantastic day we had yesterday. A huge thanks for all the messages of support we received and for those who were extra vigilant and picked up and litter or weeds the day before the competition! We were as ready as we could be.
We wont find out how we've done until early November, but we will keep you posted!
Judges and Bloomers arrive at Wallasey Village Library as part of 'In Bloom' judging.
Now time for tea and cake with the Friends, Wallasey Gardening Club and supporters.
To the ladies of the Friends of Wallasey Village Library. How lovely.
We have given the planters outside Harrison Hall a 'Wallasey Village in Bloom' makeover and added beautiful pots of dahlias provided by Rostherne Nursery Ltd. Thanks guys, the bees 🐝 love them!
Have you spotted our new sign and planter? We are very proud of it! What do you think?
Watch out for new additions around the village in the next few days. "Making Our Village Smile with Flowers".
We attended the RHS Flower Show at Tatton Park on Saturday. Wonderful!


Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the harbour.
We sailed from Copenhagen, Denmark on May 23. 2012 and sailed back on June 3, 2012. We visited the following ports: Oslo, Norway (sadly we didn't docked here because there's a pilot strike instead we saw the Norwegian Fjords); Aarhus, Denmark; Berlin, Germany; Tallinn, Estonia; St. Petersburg, Russia (we were here for two days); Helsinki, Finland and Stockholm, Sweden.
We wanted to see Scandinavia and the Baltic through Princess Cruises. Princess Cruises has the best itinerary for this region. See the reason why we wanted to do a cruise, on this post. We heard great reviews about this cruise line so we opted to do it through them.
The map shows our cruise itinerary. We started and ended in Copenhagen. We were also able to visit another port in Denmark (Aarhus). Warnemunde is your gateway to Berlin and we had an 2 nights in St. Petersburg, Russia. The itinerary is the real taste of Scandinavia with a taste of the Baltics.

'Christopher Roy is a Worcester martyr;' Fallen firefighter remembered during funeral Mass
Updated Jan 29, 2019; Posted Dec 15, 2018

By Melissa Hanson | mhanson@masslive.com
There was no peace in Worcester's Main South neighborhood on Sunday morning, as flames consumed a Lowell Street apartment building, clergymen recalled Saturday morning.
Worcester Firefighter Christopher Roy ran into the building with his colleagues, amid the confusion and flames.
Despite the intense training provided in the Worcester Fire Department, something went wrong.
Roy, a 36-year-old Shrewsbury resident, responded with fellow firefighters to 7 Lowell St. for a fire around 4 a.m. Sunday. He became trapped on the second floor and succumbed to his injuries after his colleagues pulled him from the burning building.
"What Chris did the other morning, of course it went way beyond the norm because this is what you do" as a firefighter, Rev. Walter Riley, the Worcester Fire Department Chaplain said during Roy's funeral Mass.
"Christopher Roy is at peace after a Sunday morning of treachery, disorientation," Riley said. "Christopher Roy is a Worcester martyr."
He leaves his 9-year-old daughter, Ava, with whom he enjoyed "fun-filled" vacations to Myrtle Beach and Disneyland, Riley said.
The two would go on the rides, Roy "having as much fun, if not more fun, than she did," Riley said.
Roy had been a firefighter for two and a half years and was assigned to Ladder 4 at the Webster Square Fire Station.
Members of the Worcester Fire Department stood solemnly outside the church, saluting Ladder 4 as it carried Roy's casket to the steps of the church.
The memorial fund for the family of fallen Worcester Firefighter Christopher Roy has collected about $50,000 in donations so far.
Roy was a skilled cook, Riley told the church. It was something his colleagues enjoyed at the station, and something he did at home for his "beloved Ava," Riley said.
During the service, Riley went up to Roy's family to offer peace, starting with Ava and then moving to the rest of his family.
Roy's love for Ava was remarked on throughout the funeral service.
Friend and fellow firefighter David Scavone eulogized Roy with a message to Ava.
"You were your father's world," Scavone said to Ava, who was sitting at the front of the church in a white jacket. "He moved heaven and Earth to give you the best life possible that you deserved."
Riley said the Roy family has faith and is resilient, strong, determined and honest.
"This family is the best of Worcester," he said. "This family is a Worcester family and you will survive this tragedy with this level of support."
Upwards of 10,000 firefighters from across Massachusetts and beyond were expected to attend the service.
As hundreds of Worcester firefighters filled St. John's Church, many more firefighters from other departments stood outside, listening as the sound of the service was blasted out through loudspeakers.
Honoring the 200-year-old traditions of the firefighting service, a bell tolled in three sets of five during the service, marking the death of a firefighter in the line of duty.
"And so, to Christopher Roy, who selflessly gave his life for the good of his fellow man, his tasks completed, his duties well-done," Worcester Fire Lt. Michael Papagni, the president of Local 1009, said to those inside the church. "To our comrade, his last alarm. You are going home."
A medal was presented to Ava and Roy's parents.
In order to allow all Worcester firefighters to attend the service, city's 10 fire stations were being staffed for a 25-hour period by 85 firefighters from 25 fire departments in Central Massachusetts.
Firefighters from across Central Massachusetts will be covering shifts so the Worcester Fire Department can attend the funeral.
"The outpouring of support from this community has been outstanding," Papagni said Friday. "We'd ask that anyone who does want to show a sign of support, the best way they can do that is to donate to the Ava Fund and make sure that Ava Roy never has to worry about another thing again."
The Ava Roy Fund was established by Worcester Firefighters IAFF Local 1009. Several businesses and restaurants in Worcester have announced fundraisers for the Roy family, many of which will feed into the Ava Roy Fund.
Anyone who wishes to contribute to the fund can make checks payable to the "AVA ROY FUND" and can mail them directly to the Worcester Fire Department Credit Union at 34 Glennie St., Worcester, Mass., 01605.
The fund has raised about $50,000 for Roy's daughter, officials said Friday.
Roy's death came during a particularly heartbreaking month for the Worcester Fire Department.
Dec. 3 marked the anniversary of the Worcester Cold Storage and Warehouse Co. fire, which claimed the lives of six firefighters in 1999.
And Dec. 8 is the anniversary of the death of Worcester Firefighter Jon D. Davies Sr., who died in 2011, while battling a fire inside an Arlington Street three-decker.
"Obviously we've been there before, with the tragedies of '99 and 2011," Lavoie said Friday. "It doesn't get any easier. This is a devastating loss and it's taken its toll."
Riley said to the church, "Lord, why does this have to happen again."

Transport me now, pretty please!!
I'm really a big fan of the "not so soft" colors, but I'm really starting to like this "Ice cream sundae" palette, specially the mint and the strawberry!
I wanna be in that ice cream stand too!
I was never that keen on pastel pink but am really coming around to it now.
I agree bold colours are great, i love colour blocking outfits and think everyone needs more colour in there wardrobe!


S'mores Donuts ~ Homemade Donuts Loaded with Marshmallow Frosting then Drizzled with Chocolate and Topped with Crushed Graham Crackers!
It's with much sadness I write this post. It's the bittersweet end of our terrific S'mores week. Sigh. I adore S'mores. This is a difficult day for me.
Do you love them as much as me? I sure hope you got your fill of them this week! I know I did, but really I don't know if that's possible.
There is nothing better in my mind then relaxing at the cabin, overlooking the lake and enjoying a big bon fire as the sun sets while roasting marshmallows. It just screams summer to me. I seriously look forward to this for months at the tail end of winter, which seems to drag on forever and ever. The best bon fires are early in the summer before the lovely Minnesota mosquitoes go crazy and end up being bad enough to literally carry you away or at least confine you to the house. Fall bon fires are just as good as the crisp fall air envelopes you and you snuggle around the fire trying to keep warm. It's a bittersweet reminder that the lovely outside weather is coming to an end again. It's also completely depressing in my opinion now that I think about it.
Now you have some amazing treats to get you through those bitter, long winter months when you are craving S'mores because obviously you will be dreaming of summer, bon fires, S'mores and the lake for about 9 months if you are like me and are stuck in a tundra for that long.
I think this is one of the most depressing blog posts I've wrote. I don't want winter. I don't want winter.
At least this winter I'll have a brand new babe to snuggle up with in front of the winter, so if you don't hear from me for about three months that's going to be my excuse ok? Nah, I love ya to much I'm not going to leave you for that long no worries! And I'm also not going to think about how much work I have to do to get ahead for those sleepless nights ahead of me.
Instead I'm going to think about happy, yummy thoughts in my dreams that are more than likely including S'mores. Lots and lots of S'mores. I'm obsessed. Wait I already told you that didn't I? I hope you enjoyed this S'more week as much as me! Be sure to check out all the other fabulous, to-die for S'mores posts from these other lovely bloggers! They might get you through winter!

Now this is a donut, Julie! Absolutely love all the smore flavors going on here. And what a great idea to use cake mix for the batter. Pinned!
Thanks Gayle! They were gone in seconds!
Thanks Claire! I adore them too!
Just saw these on Instagram and had to come look – they look amazing!!
Thanks Annie! They were pretty fabulous!
Haha… why isn't food listed as a love language?! I think you are onto something!
Yes!! I've been waiting for these since I saw them on Instagram!
Oh my!! These doughnuts look fabulous! Love the topping!

Songs of Praise visits Canterbury Cathedral (2011)
Songs of Praise presenter Aled Jones © BBC
Kent's Historic Cathedral resounds with Songs of Praise
Kent Filming Location: Canterbury Cathedral
Aled Jones takes a tour of Kent's iconic cathedral and introduces more popular hymns and sacred songs.
Canterbury Cathedral dates back to 597AD when St Augustine established his seat in Canterbury. In 1170 Archbishop Thomas Becket was famously murdered in the Cathedral . Since medieval times the site has attracted thousands of pilgrims, as told in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales and brought to the screen by local screen legend Michael Powell in a film adaptation of the same name. More recently it became the site of one of Antony Gormley's sculptures, made entirely from nails replaced while the cathedral roof was being repaired.
The City of Canterbury remains one of the largest tourism centres in England, known for its cobbled streets and wealth of historic buildings. It also boasts 3 universities, Kent County Cricket Club, the recently developed Marlowe Theatre as well as the Canterbury Festival . Canterbury has been used for filming by projects such as Rustom (2016), Goodbye To Canterbury (2013) and The Family (2008).
Songs of praise can be seen on Sunday, 17:30 on BBC One

I am asked frequently about Beachbody Challenge Packs and the benefits of buying one. Today I have 3 great reasons why a Beachbody Challenge pack delivers the best value to you.
Beachbody created these lifestyle packs so you, the customer, can get a great discount on the most important things you need to get fit and healthy.
Each month, they also feature 1 or 2 of the packs at an even great discount to give you an even better deal. So why do they do this? Because their mission has been and continues to be: Help people achieve their goals and enjoy a healthy, fulfilling life.
So here are my 3 reasons why a Beachbody Challenge pack is better than purchasing an individual fitness program or individual month supply of Shakeology.
Save money. When you purchase items bundled together, you get a discount. Here's an example. The Challenge Packs range in price from $140 to $245. If you purchase Shakeology on it's own, it will cost about $130. By purchasing the bundle, you are essentially getting a fitness program for just $10 more if you get the $140 pack or just $30 more if you get the $160 pack and so on. We all love discounts!
Your health. Beachbody bundled these specific items together in a Challenge pack for a reason. They are key components to succeeding with your healthy lifestyle. You get a fitness program to get in great shape, Shakeology to consume superfoods and high nutrition and a 30-day membership to the Team Beachbody Club for support. Everyone needs all three to truly succeed in achieving those health goals.
Start a home business for free. If you decide to start a Beachbody home business with us within 30 days of purchase your Challenge Pack, you can get the enrollment fee waived. Why I am telling you this? Because if you stick to your fitness program and Shakeology, you will get results. People will notice and start asking you what you are doing. You will likely refer them to purchase these products too. Wouldn't you rather have them purchase from you? Plus, you get to share your journey and support others as they work towards their goals too.
Challenge Packs are the way to go and there are plenty to choose from!
CLICK HERE to get your Beachbody Challenge pack with the fitness program of your choosing!

The than 1,000 plantations. Many Affranchis joined
June 19, 2019	admin
The Haitian Revolution, which occurred between 1791-1804, is important because Haiti is the only country where slave freedom was taken by harsh ways. It is the only successful slave rebellion. A ragtag force of slaves managed to unify Haiti, defeat Europe's mightiest army and become the first Latin American country to gain independence.Everything started when Christopher Columbus found the island of Hispaniola in 1492. At that time, the island was known by Taíno Indians as Hay-ti, which meant "mountainous place." In 1493, he returned with 1,200 men and created the colony of Santo Domingo. He enslaved local people, forced them to work in the gold mines, and perished the native population. Once gold mines ran out, they started to grow sugar. In 1670s created permanent settlements including Port-de-Paix in the northwest. They started to produce coffee, tobacco, and sugar. Left-hand side of Hispaniola became the French colony of Saint-Domingue. In 1685, King Louis XIV issued some harsh set of codes called Code Noir (Black Code) which outlined France's position on slavery in the colonies. According to these codes, slaves were the personal property of their masters, and they can get killed if they try to run away. Also there was a social structure in Saint-Domingue. It was divided into four groups. Grands Blancs the plantation owners, Affranchis the free people of colour, Petits Blancs the white working class, and slaves.The revolution started when Declaration of Rights of Man and Citizen did not give colonies rights as it did to those in France many slaves believed that they need to have those rights, but their white masters refused to abide by decrees. In the leadership of Boukman Dutty, rebels started to plan their revolt in the north. After months of planning, on September 1791 they killed hundreds of whites and burned more than 1,000 plantations. Many Affranchis joined to rebellion after these activities. On April 1792 French gov't. decreed that all free people of color were granted the full rights of citizenship. Spain and Britain tried to remain neutral. although they were fearful revolution would spread across the border to Spanish Santo Domingo and British Jamaica.Toussaint L'Ouverture was a former slave that became a great leader. was formerly enslaved in Saint-Domingue, but was freed by his progressive master who taught him how to read and write in the 1770s. He was known for his military and strategic brilliance his army grew to several thousand troops under the Spanish. While the Spanish was busy on fighting Saint-Domingue on their border in Santo Domingo, the British forces took over parts of the south and southwest portion of Saint-Domingue. White planters allied with the British forces because tThey believed this was the only way to maintain slavery in Saint-Domingue.

Neal Ardley insists the National League remains Notts County's priority despite the Magpies moving a step closer to Wembley in the FA Trophy.
The Magpies booked their place in the semi-final on Saturday as they cruised past Aveley to secure a 5-0 win at Meadow Lane.
Goals from Jim O'Brien, Tom Crawford, Sam Osborne, Kyle Wootton and Scott Wilson sealed the victory against their part-time opponents.
Notts are now just two games away from playing under the famous arch, but while they were on cup duty, they slipped out of the playoff positions in the league.
While Ardley's side have games in hand, the Notts manager says everybody's focus is securing a top-seven finish.
"It (the league) is the most important competition for us," he said.
"It would be no good getting to Wembley and finishing 12th or 13th.

"We don't want that. We've got to hang on in there, play our way through this schedule and keep digging in and picking up points.
"It's all very well having games in hand, but you've got to win them and pick up points from them.
"The lads know that is our aim and it's our number one priority.
"The cup is a real bonus for every one."

The current method for producing acetic acid uses carbon monoxide (CO) and methanol, and emits CO2. The Gas Technology Institute (GTI) has developed a technology that uses CO2 from GHGs and natural gas (CH4) to produce acetic acid. The innovation in GTI's process removes the need for purchasing methanol, provides a net reduction of CO2 emissions, and reduces the energy needed to produce the same amount of acetic acid. With a growing demand for acetic acid in Asia and the United States, Alberta would be poised to become a key producer.
With GTI's approach, CO2 is reacted with CH4 from natural gas in a two-step isothermal, catalytic process. The intermediates from the process yield acetic acid and ethanol with minimal net H2 consumption and a net CO2 reduction. This two-step catalytic process replaces the conventional method for producing acetic acid using carbon monoxide and methanol, providing a cheaper, more efficient method of producing acetic acid.


Dark pits on some of the Martian volcanoes have been speculated to be entrances into caves. A previous HiRISE image, looking essentially straight down, saw only darkness in this pit.
This time the pit was imaged from the west. Since the picture was taken at about 2:30 p.m. local (Mars) time, the sun was also shining from the west. We can now see the eastern wall of the pit catching the sunlight.
This is a stereo pair with PSP_003647_1745.

I'm awaiting feedback from other mods on this, but enabling cheating is IMO always a bad thing. So you may want to remove those parts of this addin at least.
Umm...unlocks and finish the level?
Ok, consensus seems to be this: Remove the "Finish level" button (as that can easily be used for cheating) and it should be good.

It is a sign of the times, I suppose, that within the first ten minutes after I came home last night from Mediapost's OMMA Global, the discussion between my 13-year-old son and I was the following: Should he click on the button served to him on Spotify that would have published every song he listened to on Facebook?
Facebook's f8 event last week will have lasting ramifications for the network's 800 million users. It will also have implications for brands, but the biggest takeaway should that if you're a marketer, Facebook was never about you, it's not about you, and it will never be about you. I'm sorry to the handful of laptops and iPhones that were just hurled across the room, but the truth hurts.
I wouldn't have predicted that I'd be seeking a new entertainment recommendation service right at the time that I've been using Netflix the most. Sadly, with its forthcoming split into two companies, Netflix has lost any concept of what it is, and it has just opened a massive window for someone to trump it.

The emergence of L1 innovations in Spanish-English bilinguals: Evidence from cross-linguistic structural priming
Agustina Carando, Graduate Center, City University of New YorkFollow
Eva M. Fernández
bilingualism, convergence, language contact and change, linguistic innovations, Spanish, structural priming
This dissertation explores the hypothesis that structural priming is an internal mechanism motivating processes of convergence in bilinguals. The focus of the investigation is linguistic innovations in Spanish produced by Spanish-English bilinguals. Innovations involve both changes in the frequency of alternative constructions and existing patterns produced in new contexts modeled on English equivalents. From structural priming techniques that model convergence, the data assess the extent of English influence on Spanish, in a contact setting (New York, United States) and a non-contact setting (Córdoba, Argentina).
In the field of language contact, convergence may manifest itself as an increase in the use of native language patterns shared with the contact language. Another outcome of convergence is grammatical replication, where native language structures acquire a new context of use resembling the contact language. Structural priming is the tendency for speakers to repeat previously processed structures. Cross-linguistic priming has been shown to increase the use of shared constructions; this investigation tests the applicability of priming to the study of grammatical replication.
Three experiments examine the voice, reciprocal, and dative alternations. First, a picture description task in Spanish and English establishes baseline frequencies: the voice and reciprocal alternations have a similar distribution in English and Spanish; the dative alternation, however, differs between the two languages. Second, a within-language priming task (Spanish-to-Spanish) confirms strong priming effects for all three alternations and yields extremely low rates of grammatical replication. Third, a cross-language priming task demonstrates that English primes Spanish and increases grammatical replication rates, only with the alternations that have similar cross-linguistic distributions (voice, reciprocal). The priming effect did not differ between the contact and non-contact groups, but the bilinguals in the contact setting had higher grammatical replication rates.
The data support the view that structural priming could be a catalyst facilitating language change in bilingual communities. We argue that this process is better explained with priming as implicit learning and suggest additional considerations. The data also support models of contact as an accelerant of processes already in motion in the native language, rather than as a trigger of the creation of completely new patterns.
