Cork man has no fear of false black widow spiders and says they are common in Midleton
A number of people in Waterford have been hospitalised after being bitten by the spiders
Have you ever encountered one of the spiders?
One Cork man has no fear of false black widow spiders and instead likes them for their many positive impacts.
Robin Deegan from Midleton is a big insects and wildlife fan and believes the spiders are not that bad at all.
Robin has also been seeing false black widow spiders in the area for years and says they aren't just a recent phenomenon.
He told Cork Beo: "We've had them for at least 10 years in Midleton. They are very reclusive and shy. We are outdoorsy with some small vegetable gardening and also very into watersports and leave kayaks surfboards and wetsuits around garden so we do shake out before use but hardly ever see them.
A false black widow spider
"I recently got a pallet of kiln dried wood for my pizza oven and the delivery guy left it on my footpath next to the downstairs bathroom window.
"I'd say there were quite a few spiders in there looking for a rehome so it was nice to see them. When I empty and move the pallet I'd say we won't see any more as they head into the garden to find a more suitable home.
Woman hospitalised in Waterford following false black widow spider bite
"I do think of the 100% of people who read articles like yours more than 99% won't ever interact with one and they terrify themselves. I kept this spider and didn't kill it, as it is a great predator and will help keep control of aphids and pests in the garden.
The false black widow spider
"And help balance the biodiversity in general. I've recently removed my garden lawn and replaced it with a small meadow to encourage more insect and wildlife so I hope to see a few more."
Robin also sent in loads of photos documenting some of the many false black widows he has encountered at his home.
While the spiders aren't generally very dangerous, bites can still cause some serious discomfort as a number of people in Waterford found out recently.
One mum of three spent six days in hospital recovering from the bite, according to local radio station WLRfm.

The Wars after the Great War in Memoirs, Literature and Arts (1923-1928)
For some historians, the Armistice (11/11/1918, the 11th hour) meant the end of the Great War, also known as the Great Carnage. Between 1918-1923, in Europe, even after the collapse of the empires, there were regional military conflicts, international litigations, great changes/reforms and social movements, civil wars. A new geopolitical configuration emerged as a result of the empires' dissolution and the experimentation of Bolshevism as a socio-political system. The terms of the armistice, the negotiations and the peace treaties concluded (during the Paris Peace Conference, 1919-1920) are not necessarily synonymous with securing peace and returning to "normalcy". The repercussions of the war upon the lives of civilians and demobbed soldiers, military men and prisoners of war returning to civilian life, were unpredictable and even tragic. The collective trauma dominated the public sensitivity, the reflection about the meaning of life, of the state, of progress. The reconstruction of the society was slow, the economic rebirth was fragile and quickly altered by the great international economic depression (1929-1933). Frustration and scepticism became generalized attitudes, especially among the intellectuals and the working class. The political landscape was determined by fluctuations, institutional reconfigurations, writing and rewriting constitutions, and the reconsideration, in a modern paradigm, of citizenship and women's liberation.
The social polarization, the reconfiguration of the states, which implied new ethno-cultural realities, the need for geopolitical payback, on the one hand, and, on the other, positive phenomena like the women's liberation determined the aggressive manifestation of class hatred, the radicalization of anti-Semitism and ultra-nationalism, xenophobia, the attraction of totalitarian ideas and misogyny.
War itself and the diseases which, after the war, decimated the civilian population, famine and the difficult economic reconstruction brought individual and social suffering to the forefront and imposed a new image of death. This image re-emerged, in the representations of this age, with the full strength of medieval symbolism as well as of modernism. The conservative social norm was eluded by reinventing the culture of the body, of music, literature and art.
Memoirs, literature and especially visual arts reacted to the new challenges, expressing reflections, the traumas of the war generation, evoking pacifism and the distrust in moral progress. The countries whose national dream came true witnessed the process of building the mythologies of war and victory, doubled by the enrichment and affirmation of national axiologies. There was, in the macro-communities which suffered the state's dissolution, a collective anxiety and moral crisis, which came along a mythology of defeat and the exacerbation of the Golden Age, a time of ethno-cultural richness dating back to the Antiquity and the Middle Ages. These myths stimulated the desire to take revenge and seek recuperation.
Specifically, visual arts, funeral architecture, literature and film best reflect, in our view, these mutations, the oscillation between tragedy and orgiastic joy. Therefore, we are especially interested in the papers which will choose to focus on research in these areas.

In her remarkable first collection, Ivy Alvarez's Mortal examines the relationship between Dee and Seph — modern-day reinventions of Demeter and Persephone — and how the specter of breast cancer affects them.
Mortal spans years and personalities, giving voice to mother and daughter in poems that are both visceral ("they had to unzip me / to let the cat / out of the bag // blood bathed my belly") and quietly elegant ("how do I hold you / I wonder, as I'm holding you").
Read earth, a poem from Mortal.
Alvarez mingles the earth with animals and sounds, with someone's mouth — it is a dream dictionary.

FIA Formula 2 driver Mick Schumacher is reportedly in discussions with Alfa Romeo F1 to engage in a rookie test early in the 2019 Formula 1 season.
Mick is the son of Michael Schumacher, the seven-time F1 world champion. He became the FIA Formula 3 Euro champion in 2018, which earned him a promotion to FIA Formula 2 for 2019 with the esteemed Prema Powerteam. Mick signed with the Ferrari Driver Academy in January, putting him on a path that could lead to racing for one of Scuderia Ferrari's partner F1 teams Haas or Alfa Romeo, should his F2 showing be as successful as his F3 title campaign was.
Schumacher's first drive in a modern F1 car could come in April, at a rookie test to be held after the Bahrain Grand Prix, at Bahrain International Circuit. Alfa Romeo team principal Frederic Vasseur has reportedly confirmed his team to be in talks with the young German driver regarding the test.
"We don't know yet but we are discussing. It's on the table," Vasseur told RaceFans. "It's a bit too early but we will discuss this week with Ferrari and what program we can do."
Schumacher's continued ascension on the ladder toward F1 will face the challenges of the ultra-competitive F2 championship, which will test the young driver's mettle against the world's most ambitious drivers that aren't in F1. If he performs well in the series, his chances of promotion to F1 are demonstrably high, with the top three finishers in 2018—George Russell, Alexander Albon, and Lando Norris—finding themselves driving in F1 in 2019. In this situation, he would likely be placed with Alfa Romeo alongside a more established driver such as Kimi Räikkönen or Antonio Giovinazzi, depending on which performs better in 2019 and beyond.

English, The 'bona' of marriage
The Bonum Coniugum and the Bonum Prolis; Ends or Properties of Marriage? (The Jurist 49 (1989), 704-713).
Mon, 08/02/2010 - 10:13 — webmaster
Canon 1055 of the new Code presents matrimony as being directed to two ends: it is "by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and toward the procreation and education of offspring" ("indole sua naturali ad bonum coniugum atque ad prolis generationem et educationem ordinatum").
The 'bona' of marriage
The content of the "bonum fidei" (The Jurist 51 (1991):1, 138-154)
St. Thomas teaches that "unity pertains to fides, just as inseparability does to sacramentum" (In IV Sent., d. 31, q. 1, art. 2 ad 4). These words, when read in conjunction with those of canon 1056 - "The essential properties of marriage are unity and indissolubility" - , would seem to suggest that just as the "bonum sacramenti" and indissolubility are synomymous, so are the "bonum fidei" and unity.
Procreativity and the conjugal self-gift (Studia canonica 24 (1990), 43-49)
The jurisprudence of church tribunals has constantly held that the marriage consent from which offspring is intentionally excluded ("bono prolis excluso") is null. A recent rotal Sentence coram Stankiewicz, in expressing this principle, says that it is the exclusion of the procreative element which vitiates the very object of matrimonial consent: "Since the procreative element enters the essence of matrimony and represents an essential component of the formal object of matrimonial consent, no one of the contracting parties can deliberately exclude it without thereby invalidating the marriage itself" (coram Stankiewicz, 29 October, 1987, n. 3).
Matrimonial consent and the "bonum prolis" (Monitor Ecclesiasticus 114 (1989-III), 397-404)
The 1917 Code of Canon Law described matrimonial consent as that "act of the will by which each party gives and accepts a perpetual and exclusive right over the body, for acts which are of themselves suitable for the generation of children" (1917 Code: canon 1081, # 2.). The 1983 Code describes this consent in apparently very different terms: it is that "act of the will by which a man and a woman, through an irrevocable covenant, mutually give and accept each other in order to establish a marriage" (1983 Code: canon 1057, # 2. ).

Q: jquery-ui datepicker onchange I want to correct all datepicker's values on client side.
$.datepicker.setDefaults({
    dateFormat: "dd.mm.yy",
    onClose: function(date) {
        // calculate proper date string
        $(this).val(properDate);
        $(this).trigger('blur');
    }
});

But it doesn't work if I switch tab in browser. Change event generates, but onClose method is not called.
I can subscribe to change event manualy using dom selector:
$(".datepicker").change(function() {...});

But I don't like it because I have dynamicaly added elements. I want to add change event handler to element in datepicker's constructor.
What can you advise me?

A: My solution here: http://jsfiddle.net/psoubh9k/1/
I realized datechooser, that bind change event to my function and apply datepicker to element.
var methods = {
    init : function(options) {
        $(this).change(validate);
        options = $.extend(true, options, {
            onClose: validate,
            dateFormat: "dd.mm.yy"
        });
        return $(this).datepicker(options);
    }
};

This background paper argues for a comprehensive governance regime for minerals and carbonbased energy resources and addresses the interlocking challenges that their extraction and consumption create for environment, security, and justice. Recalling the academic debate about the resource curse that led to the establishment of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), EITI's strengths and weaknesses are discussed and several implications for future policy making are outlined. Fragile states are especially challenged, since they in particular are short of the domestic institutions needed to harness benefits from natural resource abundance for sustained and sustainable development. Yet even in more favorable settings, EITI's premise that transparency in revenue generation will foster broader societal transformations so far seems illusory. More needs to be done to increase responsiveness of participating companies to transparency demands, but also to prevent leakage of revenues through tax loopholes. Finally, the sustainable development agenda currently negotiated by all UN Member States, if implemented properly, could lead to a more sustainable extraction and deployment of natural resources within planetary boundaries.

Archos Gamepad 2 Review – Insert Some Witty Comment Here
By Wolf's Gaming Blog on March 29, 2015 • ( 1 Comment )
Tablets being marketed as gaming platforms are seeing a surge in popularity at the moment, yet the Archos Gamepad 2 is somewhat unique in that it whacks on a set of physical controls to compliment the standard touch-screen navigation. The inclusion of buttons and sticks sends a clear message to potential buyers: the Archos Gamepad 2 is for games, and a tablet second. Sounds pretty good, right? Well, as we're going to find out through the review the Gamepad 2 is really a tablet first and a light gaming device second.
The Gamepad 2 is armed with an ARM Cortex A9 quad-core processor which clocks in at 1.6Ghz per core and 2GB of Ram. As standard the device can be purchased with either 8GB or 16GBB of storage, neither of which is very much for storing games, so you'll want to whack a microSD card in there pronto. The sticking point here is the Mali 400 MP4 GPU, the very same GPU the Gamepad 2's predecessor had under its hood, too. Now, to be fair the Mali 400 is a solid GPU but….well, even in the original Gamepad it was considered a little outdated and doesn't seem like a very sensible choice for a tablet marketing itself as being great for gaming. I've got some serious concerns about the Gamepad 2 being able to remain competitive as games machine moving forward. While most Android games aren't exactly demanding, we are starting to see titles become bigger and more complex, making great use of the ever improving technology.
With those specifications in mind lets head into the raw benchmarks, starting with Antutu where the Gamepad 2 took home a score of 24349, but where things get interesting is the breakdown. General performance came in with a rating of high, surpassing 60% of the opposition. Not too shabby, really. Battery life registered as average, so there's little to say there. The shock was game performance which Antatu rated as being poor, surpassing a mere 40% of other devices, hardly a glowing recommendation for something claiming to good for playing games on. So I immediately fired up 3D Mark's Ice Storm benchmark and began putting the Gamepad 2 through its paces. Things didn't get off to a good start when the demo, which doesn't affect final score, was struggling to maintain a good frame rate with sharp drops stopping it from being smooth. Once into the tests proper the Gamepad 2 registered 11fps on the first test, 22fps on the second and 20.5fps on the physics test. Not exactly spectacular results when you consider something like the budget Moto G smartphone has a higher average score and higher frames per second while costing less than the Gamepad 2. Then there's the Nexus 7 which is also in the same price bracket these and utterly thrashes the Gamepad 2 in these days, maxing out the overall score and running on average at twice the FPS. Ultimately Archos' device scored 3701 on the standard Ice Storm benchmark. Out of curiosity I then ran the Gamepad 2 through Ice Storm Extreme where it recorded a score of 2909, with a mere 9.9FPS on test one, 11.9fps on test two and 22.6fps on the physics test.
Real world performance seemed to reflect these scores quite well. Loading up the included Modern Combat 4 the game was certainly playable but far from smooth, and as a gamer smoothness is what I'm looking for. Modern Combat 4 is a relatively demanding Android game, but if something is going to market itself as being geared towards playing games I'd expect better performance. Asphalt 8 fared quite a bit better, and while the framerate still wasn't great it was smooth enough to enjoy the game, though some dips did catch me off. Still, gaming was generally hampered by some seriously long loading times, such as about a minute just to get into a race in Asphalt 8. It's a bit mad to think that the two games the Gamepad 2 comes pre-loaded with really don't show the tablet's performance in a good light. Real Racing from EA was also too choppy to be entirely satisfactory, but remained just about playable. Most Android games aren't overly demanding, though, so its fair to say that all you want is run the new Family Guy game, play Angry Birds and a few others it'll be fine. For more demanding titles, though, the Archos Gamepad 2 just struggles too much.
On the other hand the Gamepad 2 does make a beastly emulator, the hardware more than capable of running older games and the physical buttons are spot-on for tackling them all. I found myself playing more of the old games than I did the new. I'm not sure this is the kind of endorsement Archos is looking for, but there you have it. It runs old games real good, folks.
Let's talk about those controls, shall we? There's two thumbsticks on either side that manage to feel pretty good for gaming. On my model they did feel a little stiff to use, resulting in me struggling to perform more subtle inputs. However, I believe this to be a result of my particular test unit having been used by other journalists before me – the left stick feels a tad sticky and stiff, whereas the right stick feels nice and smooth Sitting above the right stuck is a cluster of four buttons, an instantly familiar sight to…well, everyone these days. They sit a little close together for my tastes and feel too squishy as well, but ultimately they do the job. Located on the top are a further four buttons, including two "trigger" style buttons. Both fit quite naturally under your fingers and while they to feel a little squishy they perform well enough. Throw in the d-pad, which in keeping with the theme is also squishy, and the jobs a good 'un. I have to admit that with my PC and console gaming heritage touch-screen and tilt controls have never really done it for me in anything more than basic games, so having actual controls under my fingers felt good.
Below the controls we find a bit of a problem: speakers. Okay, so speakers in general aren't a problem, but the issue here is that their location means you'll like at least partially cover them up when playing games, muffling what is already a tinny set of audio drivers. Even uncovered the speakers just aren't all that good, able to go up to an impressive quality but not able to deliver good bass or even accurate highs. Detail gets awfully muddled, so I found it preferable to stick on some headphones instead.
Moving away from gaming more general usage yielded a far better experience. The whole thing runs on a pretty much stock version of Android Jelly Bean 4.2 so there's not a whole lot to be said about that. Archos have chucked in a few additions of their own in the form of an Archos Gamezone, which is a reskin of the Play Store, and Archos Music. Getting around was smooth and easy, although I did note the occasional moment of slow-down and unresponsiveness.
The biggest addition is a piece of software which lets you remap standard touch controls to the physical controls. I love the idea in theory, but the reality is patchy. When it works it's great, and while there's a slight delay caused by the device translating the inputs many, many games benefit greatly from the more precise controls. But that's when it works: for Real Racing the app wouldn't even start, and when it did I couldn't get the controls to map properly, possibly owing to the fact that the game itself was detecting the physical controls but seemed unable to configure things correctly. There were quite a lot of times it became unresponsive or just wouldn't start, and furthermore controls have to be mapped while the game is actually playing, which can naturally be a pain in the arse. There seems to be a lot of games it simply doesn't work with.
Let's turn our attention to the build quality and aesthetics of this beast. At 400g the Gamepad 2 can be a little heavy when holding it in one hand while using the other to surf the web, but when you've got it in both hands the weight feels right, giving it a nice sense of heft and solidarity. That solidarity is no illusion, either: there's no give in the plastic shell, nor does it feel cheap and tacky. Visually it's not going to win any awards or anything, but I quite like the simple black design. Located on the top you can find a standard 3.5mm audio port for plugging in headphones and whatnot, a charging port for the included USB to Micro-USB cable and even a mini-HDMI to HDMI port so that you can play games on a big screen.
At a 720p and a mediocre 216 pixels per inch the 7″ screen is lagging behind the competition a little. However, despite this it looks lovely and detailed across both games and movies, providing pretty good color reproduction and depth. Of course it doesn't match up to many of the full HD offerings on other tablets, but honestly the lower resolution wasn't very noticeable in most instances because of the size of the screen. Text was sharp and games looked lovely, so while the lack of a full 1080p is a little disappointing it's not a massive loss.
It's also backed up by some solid battery life as well, managing to last me around 5-7 hours of continuous gaming, more than enough for the vast majority of journeys. With lighter use that lifespan can almost double, so I have zero complaints here.
The problem here really is one of marketing and expectation. Viewed purely as a budget tablet the Archos Gamepad 2 would actually be quite good, boasting a nice screen, good connection options and solid general performance when browsing the net. But when viewed as a gaming orientated device it's kind of useless in many regards, and most people would be better of getting a PS Vita or a 3DS or some other tablet like the Nexus 7. It just doesn't offer anywhere near the raw power required to take it seriously as a gaming device. And that's really a shame because it's controller definitely makes for a better experience in terms of comfort. However, it is good choice for somebody primarily looking for a tablet and a light gaming device second, or even for somebody that struggles to come to terms with touch-screen controls. If Archos release a Gamepad 3 with more raw power under the hood, they'll be onto a winner.

That's quite a nifty gadget, but you are right: pitted against PS Vita or 3DS,one is much more better of getting those handhelds compared to this. It does not have what it takes to cater to more serious gamers, but if one is just looking for casual fun, then this can be a pretty good choice – to pass time temporarily.

DDI Report Reveals Hidden Potential of Generation X Leaders
diciembre 6, 2018 DDI Report Reveals Hidden Potential of Generation X Leaders2018-12-06T13:00:00+00:00 Pennsylvania No Comment
PITTSBURGH, Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Sandwiched between the «Me Generation» and the generation dubbed by Time magazine as the «Me Me Me Generation,» it's no surprise that Generation X often gets overlooked.
But according to a new report from global leadership consulting firm DDI, it's a big mistake to ignore Generation X, especially for leadership jobs. The report, titled «The Hidden Potential of Generation X,» reveals that Generation X leaders possess a unique blend of strengths and skills in comparison to their Baby Boomer and Millennial counterparts.
«There's been a lot of media attention focused on the differences between Baby Boomers and Millennials, but little is said about the critical bridge between them: Generation X,» said Stephanie Neal, DDI senior research consultant and author of the report. «Compared to other generations, our research shows that Gen X leaders excel in leading with both emotional intelligence and a digital focus, yet are often passed over for promotions. While companies certainly need to pay attention to developing the youngest generation of leaders, they should be cautious that they aren't ignoring the talent in their Gen X leaders.»
The report drew on data collected from more than 25,000 leaders around the world. Key findings include:
Gen X is just as digitally savvy as Millennials: 54 percent of Gen X leaders are digitally savvy, on pace with Millennials at 56 percent.
Leaders from Gen X have an edge in empathy: 68 percent of Gen X leaders are highly effective in empathy, compared to only 62 percent of Millennials.
Companies skip over Gen X for promotions: Leaders from Generation X had only 1.2 promotions in the past five years, significantly less than Millennials (1.6 promotions) and Baby Boomers (1.4 promotions).
Gen X leaders are frustrated but loyal: Only 58 percent of Gen X leaders said they were advancing at an acceptable rate, but only 37 percent said they were thinking of leaving their companies to advance their careers.
Internal development isn't enough for Gen X leaders: While Gen X leaders don't want to leave their companies, they are much more likely than other generations to want development from external sources.
«More than any other generation, Gen X leaders are telling us that they want to stay at their companies and are hungry to develop their leadership skills,» said Neal. «Companies should pay close attention to this hidden source of leadership potential, and ensure that they're giving Gen X a fair shot at leadership opportunities as well as the external development they're craving.»

THE Ranking: Second place in Germany for Ulm University

In the Times Higher Education (THE) Ranking, the University of Ulm comes off excellently. In the ranking of "Golden Age" universities, it has repeatedly improved its position in the last two years: in Germany it is now – behind the Free University of Berlin – the second best university in this age group. Worldwide, the University of Ulm achieved an outstanding 14th place. The "Golden Age" ranking list includes universities from all over the world that are older than 50 and younger than 80. The University of Ulm did particularly well with 94.9 out of 100 possible points in the criteria "scientific influence" (citation index), and with 75.7 out of 100 possible points in the area of "knowledge transfer" (industry funds).
The university rankings of the British publishing house Times Higher Education (THE) are among the most comprehensive and renowned worldwide. The rankings are based on 13 criteria from the four different areas of research, teaching, internationality and knowledge transfer. Decisive for the ranking in the area of research, which alone accounts for 60 percent of the total, are research funds, productivity and scientific influence. This is measured on the basis of third-party funds raised, the number of specialist publications and the so-called citation index, which indicates how often a scientific contribution is cited in specialist circles. The University of Ulm has a particularly excellent result for this scientific performance indicator, which plays a decisive role in THE Ranking. The key criteria in teaching, which in total account for 30 percent of the final result, include the supervision ratio, the qualification structure of the teaching staff and financial resources. In the areas of internationality and knowledge transfer, the survey included the proportion of international students and employees as well as the number of international cooperation projects.
The Times Higher Education (THE) "Golden Age" ranking is led by the University of California, San Diego, followed by the Australian National University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong in third place. This special ranking is part of THE World University Ranking, which includes universities from all age groups worldwide, and in which the University of Ulm achieved a very good 141st place in 2020. In THE "Young University" Ranking, also part of the World University Ranking, the University of Ulm held the title of "Best Young University in Germany" several times until its 50th birthday.

LEGO Stranger Things: The Upside Down is a set you can literally turn upside down
This 2287-piece construction set includes minifigures of Eleven, Mike Wheeler, Lucas Sinclair, Dustin Henderson, Will Byers, and more.
by Christian Saclao May 14, 2019, 7:00 pm
The LEGO Group has unveiled a new building set inspired by the hit Netflix series Stranger Things.
Called the LEGO Stranger Things: The Upside Down, this 2287-piece playset is a sturdy, brick-built model that can flip between the real world and The Upside Down — the alternate dimension existing in parallel to the human world in the sci-fi horror web series.
Developed in partnership with Netflix, the set showcases the real-world version of the Byers' house and its Upside Down version. The real-world version of the abode features a front porch, a living room, a dining room, Will's (Noah Schnapp) bedroom, and an attic space.
The living room features the show's iconic alphabet wall with a light-up function. There's also a "Have you seen me?" flyer stickered element and a bear trap to catch the Demogorgon (Mark Steger). Additionally, the room is furnished with a couch, a coffee table, a telephone, and an axe.
The dining room features an armchair, a fantasy game rule book stickered element, a potted plant, and boxes that store Christmas lights, while Will's bedroom includes details like Will's boombox, bed, desk, desk lamp, drawings, and movie posters.
As for the attic space, it includes a Mind Flayer drawing stickered element and a wizard hat for "Will the Wise".
The Upside Down version of the house, on the other hand, features all the rooms from the real-world model but with a dark, vine-covered, dilapidated look.
The playset also comes with eight minifigures of Stranger Things characters: Eleven (Milly Bobby Brown), Mike Wheeler (Finn Wolfhard), Lucas Sinclair (Caleb McLaughlin), Dustin Henderson (Gaten John Matarazzo III), Will Byers, Joyce Byers (Winona Laura Horowitz), Chief Jim Hopper (David Harbour), and the Demogorgon.
READ Hardee's and Carl Jr's Big Fried Cheese sandwich is just as cheesy as it sounds
Each of the minifigures comes with their own accessories, including Lucas' slingshot and flashlight, Dustin's walkie-talkie and compass, Mike's flashlight and walkie-talkie, Hopper's coffee mug, Joyce's flashlight and drawing of "Will the Wise", and Eleven's waffle. Click the slideshow above to have a closer look at the set and all the minifigures included.
The LEGO Stranger Things: The Upside Down will be available for $199.99 starting June 1st — roughly a month before Season 3 of the show premieres on the streaming service. LEGO VIP members, however, can get the ultimate Stranger Things collectible as early as May 15th.

This is my prompt. That's it. No question to expand upon favorites, though it seems implied. But, perhaps it just means a place's effect? No questions to set up a fictions scenario in any of these places. It leaves out indoor spaces, and I find that interesting.
Immediately though, I do not think these questions.
Immediately, I conjure up images and sounds.
A classically gray, stormy day on the Oregon Coast.
First, I see a gray sky, and I hear the waves crashing ashore. Their rhythmic pattern soothing any stress or angst I brought with me. And that image immediately conjures up a combination image of "mountain and forest" back to the days when my husband and would frequent that with Mt. Hood National Forest had to offer. We're walking, and crunch go our boots along the groomed trails and fallen pine needles I breathe in the cool mountain air. I stop, I listen, and I hear the banging of a stream that is meandering nearby. There is a rush of water falling as a small waterfall is created over a jetty of rocks. We are admist large Doug Firs, and it feels as if we could see a hobbit house nearby. There is a mist settling over the trees, and again, the cool, crisp air infiltrates my lungs.
Second, I am back in the city. On our (new) street, where we live. Luckily, it's again tree lined and inset from the busy roads nearby. You can still hear the bus rumble by with their diesel engines powering them away every 15-30 minutes, but mostly not. Mostly, I hear our wind chimes on the back porch. The occasional car driving down. And, now, in this life in the city, I imagine myself on that bus, careening down Greeley towards downtown. The bus makes it's own particular squeaking noises as the engines ramp up and down air brakes doing their job on command. Cars rushing by. The train swooshing. People on the bus chattering, mostly pages turning in books as passengers stare straight ahead weary of eye contact, but not entirely avoidant either.
Third, I am in the office. At work, a normal day. I park my car. My bag swishes over the seat, I pocket my phone in the left and the keys in the right. The door is open and held ajar by my foot. I straighten my bag's strap and I put one foot (tap) and another (tap) on the hard, cold, damp concrete. Swoosh out of my chair. My wool blended coat straightening around me. Clunk goes the door as I slam it shut. Cha-chunk goes the back door as I open it. Flop goes my backpack over my back. Swoosh goes my lunch bag. Clunk goes the door as I slam it shut. I turn, a few paces ahead and, "Toot," screams the horn in one short blurb as my popper sets the locks on the car. Small bag in hand, beep goes the card reader, balancing the bags, I open the door with my right hand and ease by. No longer on concrete but new carpet, I shuffle along. Textures switch as we go from carpet to thoroughly painted stairs in their high gloss finish. I see the scrapes I made a week after the job was done with my black shoes. Two flights, to the first floor, where I enter man's invention: the elevator I've opened no less than two doors after the stairs. I depress the elevator buttons. Ding is the noise it makes upon it's arrival. The 4th floor button illuminates after I firmly instruct it. Ding the elevator announces my arrival. There is barely a noise as I open the door, already co-workers have arrived. Flip the light switches are all on now, and flump as I drop my bags at my desk.
I'm not sure what I am influenced more by – place or sound. But, each have an impact in my day. For respite, I crave the ocean and it's calming rhythm. When my head is cloudy I want trees. But, the normal every-day is punctuated by cars, carpet, elevators, and mechanical noises guiding me from one task to another.

Q: R Studio: Average multiple columns with conditional logic In R studio, how can I get one average of multiple columns with conditional logic for one of the columns? For example, I have a dataset, called 'test' of the below 5 columns. I want to get one combined average for columns A, B, and C. But I only want to include Column C in the average if Flag is equal to 1 for a cell in Column C.
    ID<-c(1,2,3)
    A<-c(1,0,NA)
    B<-c(0,NA,1)
    C<-c(1,1,1)
    Flag<-c(0,1,1)
   test<-as.data.frame(cbind(ID,A,B,C,Flag))

 [click here to see my data set]
So I want: Average = (All cells in column A + All cells in column B + Only cells in column C where cells in Flag column is equal to 1 )

A: We unlist the dataset with a subset of columns ("A", "B"), concatenate with the values of "C" that corresponds to "Flag" of 1 and get the mean.
mean(c(unlist(test[c("A", "B")]), test$C[test$Flag==1]), na.rm=TRUE)
#[1] 0.6666667

Eagles employee got his hair styled after Odell Beckham Jr.
By Brandon Lee Gowton@BrandonGowton May 21, 2016, 8:00am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Eagles employee got his hair styled after Odell Beckham Jr.
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports
Much to the chagrin of most Eagles fans, Odell Beckham Jr. is very good at football. But apparently the New York wide receiver is so good that, for some, he transcends the Eagles-Giants rivalry. Check out this tidbit from The MMQB's recent profile on Beckham Jr. Bold emphasis is mine:
Along the main drag of Rising Sun Ave. in Northeast Philadelphia, in a brick-building neighborhood lined with pizza restaurants, convenience stores and no less than four barbershops, DeMarco's Hair Artistry has stayed in business by keeping up with the people (walk-in Tuesdays) and the times. Countless men have sat in the chairs here and left with perfect shape-ups, Afros, mohawks, fauxhawks, Allen Iverson-style cornrows, and even a Dennis Rodman-esque dye jobs. The sole proprietor, Hassan DeMarco, has seen it all. But he never could have anticipated what happened two years ago when a customer strode across the black-and-white tile floor and asked, "Can you give me The Odell Beckham?"
"The first request came right after The Catch," says DeMarco, referring to Beckham's one-handed touchdown grab against the Giants on Nov. 23, 2014. "A few trickled in after that. Now I probably have 15 or 20 clients who have asked for it. It's the hottest hairstyle since [Iverson's] braids.
"And I probably shouldn't tell you this, but one of the guys who has asked for it is actually an employee of the Eagles."
I'm not going to go around and tell people how to style their hair, but isn't that awkward for the Eagles employee? Like, everyone totally knows it's modeled after a team rival. How do you show up to work every day with that reminder?
For what it's worth, I've never seen an Eagles employee with that haircut during the time I've spent around the facility. Maybe that person got fired.


The Wannon electorate has existed since Federation in 1901. It was named after the Wannon River, which runs through the electorate's centre, just north of Hamilton.
Sir Thomas Mitchell named the Wannon River in 1836.
The electorate covers an area of more than 30,000 square kilometres, reaching from the southern coastline of Victoria in centres such as Portland, Port Fairy, Warrnambool and Port Campbell; north to the Glenelg River and from the South Australian border to the townships of Beaufort and Maryborough.
The region included within Wannon's boundaries is often referred to as Victoria's "Western Districts".
The electorate's main towns include Ararat, Avoca, Balmoral, Beaufort, Camperdown, Casterton, Dartmoor, Hamilton, Heywood, Koroit, Lismore, Macarthur, Maryborough, Mortlake, Penshurst, Port Campbell, Port Fairy, Portland, Skipton and Warrnambool.
Products and key industries that operate in the electorate include shipping, wool, sheep, beef and dairy cattle, cropping, forestry, aluminium smelting, textiles and clothing and tool manufacturing.
It is also home to a strong tourism industry, with Wannon being the proud home of the world-famous 12 Apostles on the Great Ocean Road. Located in Warrnambool is the Flagstaff Hill maritime village, and interpretive centre. This attraction has recently undergone a $5.7 million redevelopment to incorporate a spectacular sound and light show.
The historic town of Port Fairy is also within Wannon's boundaries. This town has been one of Victoria's most popular seaside holiday destinations in recent years.
In the centre of the electorate is Hamilton, which is widely known as the world's wool capital. More than four million sheep are on land within a 100-kilometre radius of this grazing town. Hamilton is also considered to be the cradle of Australia's aviation industry, with the first flight by Ansett Airlines flying from Hamilton.
Wannon also includes the spectacular Grampians National Park and Dunkeld, the historic town of Portland, Cape Bridgewater and Nelson. See the map of the Federal Electoral Division of Wannon.

It was the autumn of 2010 and I was on a bus from London to Oxford for the Oxford Climate Forum. In my hand was a short article I'd cut out of the New Internationalist about barrister-turned-eco-warrior, Polly Higgins, who wanted to have the large-scale destruction of the environment – termed ecocide – recognised as the fifth crime against peace in the UN. In essence, she wanted to make it illegal to trash the planet. I thought it was an interesting idea but perhaps a little ambitious. Anyway, the bus got to Oxford and I got myself to the Oxford Union debating chamber and listened to quite a large array of older white men drone on about different aspects of climate change. Then in walks a woman with wondrous salt and pepper hair and a beautiful Scottish accent. I sat up straighter and listened to her describe a world without ecocide and how we can make it happen – it's actually quite simple. Suffice to say by the end of Polly's talk my curious scepticism had given way to excitable hope. After the talks I went up to her and thanked her for speaking and I said how great it was to have a woman talk at the event and she smiled and said thank you.
That was the first time I met Polly and it wouldn't be the last. Later that year I'd head to the South Bank Centre to hear her talk again and I'd ask her to sign the copy of her book I'd bought. She wrote, "here's to making it happen", and I told her I'd like to help, so she wrote her email address in the book as well. This is a long story, too long for a post, but one thing led to another and I became her Campaign Director for half a year and, thanks to Polly, I was whisked away on a number of adventures. One highlight was being asked to attend a talk given by Vanessa Redgrave, which Polly couldn't make. What I hadn't been told was that after her talk I'd be asked to go up on stage and share a panel with her. My face paled, my armpits began to sweat, and for the next thirty minutes I had to pretend I was meant to be there.
There are so many stories I could share about Polly – about how lost I felt when I stopped working for her, about how our friendship would last through the years, about the time she leant me her dress at her Delightfully Decadent birthday party, about her endless kindness and enthusiasm. I loved Polly dearly and it broke my heart when she passed away on Easter Sunday this year from cancer. She was a legend in life and she will be one in death. But as I finish this post what I really want to share is how all those years ago when I was a 22 year-old fresh out of uni without much of a clue what was going to happen next, Polly gave me direction. She also gave me permission – permission to dream as big as possible and to change the world. And today, as I write scripts, stories and run workshops I still dream big and I still want to the change world. Because life is incredibly short and whilst I do understand there's so much more to changing the world than dreams, I also know that for those of us with the privilege and the power to make a difference it's a very good idea to dream as big as we can. I still want ecocide to be recognised as an international crime and thanks to Polly's work and the ongoing work of her team we are that bit closer. So please sign up to become an Earth Protector and please keep dreaming big.

© 2017 IEEE. The worldwide application and grid-to-vehicle charging of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) are expected to tremendously grow within the next few years. Uncoordinated PEV charging in low voltage (LV) distribution networks can lead to local grid problems such as overloading of transformers and voltage unbalances. A potential solution and key challenge for PEV integration is the smart shifting of charging activities to off-peak periods. This paper investigates the impacts of single-phase PEV charging at residential houses on the three-phase distribution network. It proposes online coordinated PEV charging using a genetic algorithm (GA) to minimize the overall voltage unbalance factor (VUF) by controlling the time of charging considering voltage constraints. The impacts of uncoordinated and GA coordinated PEV charging on VUF and voltage profiles will be simulated for a real Western Australian distribution network in the Perth solar city.

Media release: DIT awards a further £220,000 to UK acts through BPI-administered Music Export Growth Scheme
Latest round of Music Export Growth Scheme funding sees the Department for International Trade (DIT) commit a further £220,000 to 12 UK artists to achieve success in overseas markets.
MEGS has awarded over £3 million to over 200 British music projects since its launch in 2014
TALENTED artists from the British music scene are benefiting from long-term Government investment through the Department for International Trade (DIT) as part of the Exporting is GREAT campaign designed to help build their international fanbases and to boost sales of their music outside of the UK thanks to the Music Export Growth Scheme (MEGS).
The scheme, now coming up to its fifth year and managed by UK record label association the BPI, supports small to medium sized music companies by contributing to their artist marketing campaigns and touring overseas.
In this latest (14th) round of funding, 12 British acts have received grants totalling £220,052 to help fund their projects across Europe, North America, Australia and Jamaica. Artists to benefit include Scottish pop artist Nina Nesbitt, saxophonist and composer YolanDa Brown, singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry, indie quintent Ten Fé and Kilsyth's post-punk outfit The Twilight Sad. See Notes to editors for full list.
Since its launch in January 2014 the Music Export Growth Scheme has distributed over £3 million to support a diverse range of artists drawn mainly from the indie community. The scheme has seen a return of over £11 to the UK economy for every £1 invested. One of this round's recipients, Nina Nesbitt, is promoting her latest single in America with MEGS support and said:
"I'm currently in the US thanks to this funding and just found out my single Loyal To Me was in the top five most added songs at Top 40 US radio. Huge thank you once again!"
Chris Tams, BPI director of International, overseeing the MEGS programme, said: "The Music Export Growth Scheme gives a diverse range of talented British artists the opportunity to grow their fanbase in key international markets through touring and marketing support. In the process, it helps to promote the profile of British music overseas and, crucially, helps to boost our exports with a return on investment to date of over £11 for each £1 put in by the UK Government."
MEGs recipient and jazz musician, YolanDa Brown, said: "I am celebrating ten years in music this year and absolutely thrilled to be awarded a MEGS grant.
"The opportunity to take my music around the world, engage with new audiences in different territories is the most amazing feeling for an independent artist and I am pleased that with this award I can do just that"
Speaking on behalf of Django Django and Wots that Smell, Peter McGaughrin, said: "I've found that MEGS funding is a truly career changing opportunity for my artists – being able to afford to take their music to the world is incredibly empowering and means that great music from the UK can keep on finding appreciative audience on a global stage".
Soul singer and MEGS recipient, Samuel Jack, said: "I'm absolutely thrilled and whole heartedly grateful for the support from the BPI. Being a musician on the road can be costly and as offers increase so too does the cost of being able to accept them! Now, with the BPI's help I have a real opportunity to not only grow as an artist, but to maintain and continue that growth, it's an absolute game changer for me."
Wiltshire-born singer-songwriter, Gabrielle Aplin, said: "I am so grateful to have been chosen to have my application accepted by the BPI for the MEGs award! This funding will help me get to Australia, a country that I love to visit that has always been so supportive and receptive of my music! The trip will coincide with my new music so the timing is perfect and I can't wait to get going!"
Applications for the next round (15th) of MEGS funding will open in 2019.

About the MEGS
Many smaller to medium-sized music labels, distributors and management companies, which are often independently-owned, achieve remarkable success when launching their artists in the UK.
However, their limited resources and the sheer cost of marketing overseas means it can be a real challenge for them to replicate this success internationally.
This, in turn, creates the risk that significant commercial opportunities may be missed, not just for these companies and their artists, but ultimately for the wider UK economy through lost exports.
The Music Export Growth Scheme has been created to help address this issue, offering small and medium-sized music companies with the potential to achieve increased international success the opportunity to apply for grants ranging from £5,000 to £50,000 that will support their marketing overseas and the promotion of specific artist releases.
* Companies will be eligible to apply for the scheme if they meet the Government's criteria on small and medium enterprises (SMEs): Annual turnover of €50m or less and no more than 249 employees.
* Eligible companies can apply for grants ranging from £5,000 to £50,000 by presenting detailed campaign proposals to a specially-appointed selection board. The presentations would need to detail how any grant would be invested in effective marketing and other promotional activity oversees, such as through artist showcases, tour support, social media and publicity. Before agreeing to a grant, the board members would need to feel persuaded that the plans have a strong chance of succeeding in meeting their objectives.
* Companies must part-fund from their own resources, demonstrating their own commitment to the proposed activity. A company will not be able to receive more than two grants per year, while the total sum that it receives over the duration of the scheme may not exceed the state aid limits that apply at the time.
* The selection board, which is independently-chaired, meets three times a year to consider applications. It is made up of a diverse range of over 20 industry experts and representatives drawn from a number of music organisations as well as from the BPI and DIT and includes a professional/business advisor.
* The scheme is managed by BPI as the accredited trade organisation. This includes marketing the fund and its benefits to the music sector; advising on applications before they are submitted; administering the award of grants; and monitoring the impact of approved campaigns against agreed performance criteria.
* The scheme supports Government's promotion of exports including under the GREAT campaign.
About the Department for International Trade (DIT)

About the BPI (British Phonographic Industry)

New research was published this week highlighting the associations between teenage cannabis use and a range of mental health problems. The results suggested that use of the drug was associated with an increased risk of depression and a significantly higher risk of suicide attempts.

As we enter the waning days of Spring (maybe), it's the perfect time to start thinking about preparing for summer. For my family, summer means spending copious hours at a softball fields or beach volleyball tournaments across the Midwest which in turn means trying to find ways to beat the heat. However, beating the heat isn't only for you spectating… it's for your athlete as well.
Beating the heat is part common sense and part science. I think we all have the common sense to know what to do. However, execution is sometimes iffy. Below you will find 12 ways to beat the heat and give you a little bit of the science to back up these methods.
1. Take advantage of your body's cooling points by doing the following during every bathroom break.
a. Wash your hands in cold water up to your elbows.
c. Wipe down your legs especially the front and back of your knees and inner thighs.
THE SCIENCE: The US Army even did study on "Arm Immersion Cooling" and found that it reduced exertional heat illness.
NOTE: Putting a Microfiber Cooling Towel in your day bag will make the job of beating the heat so much "cooler". These towels stay moist for hours and are a perfect way to stay cool when you are out in the blazing sun for hours on end.
2. Drink, drink and drink some more… and NOT caffeinated or alcoholic beverages either. Go for the water! And don't wait until you are thirsty. Start before you even leave for the game with at least 8 ounces of water. In some cases, if you wait until you are thirsty it's too late and your body is already on its way to heat exhaustion.
THE SCIENCE: As with everything else done to excess, drinking water is great but beware of drinking too much watch. There is a condition called Hyponatremia which can result from drinking too much water, leaving the body with low levels of sodium. The best method of treatment is prevention. For every 16 ounces of water you drink you should drink have one sports drink. Sports drinks are available at every sport complex around the country or if you are traveling to a tournament you can bring your own by shipping a case to your hotel saving you a ton of money, especially if you have Amazon Prime.
3. Staying out of the direct sun is a key to staying cool. Personal umbrellas and awnings are relatively cheap and will save you from sitting for hours in the sweltering heat.
THE SCIENCE: Even on a hot day it can feel up to 10° – 15° cooler in the shade. It's not really 10° – 15° cooler. It just feels that way because of the reduction in solar radiation from sunlight.
4. I know this isn't always feasible but if possible try to take an afternoon break and return when the heat of the day has waned.
THE SCIENCE: The hottest time of day typically happens around 3:00pm. Therefore, the hours of 1:00pm to 5:00pm is a great time for an air-conditioned meal or an afternoon break.
5. Wear sunscreen and reapply throughout the day. This is important because a lot of people think once is enough. Sunscreen should be reapplied EVERY TWO HOURS as it tends to rub and wash off. Athletes should consider reapplying before every match or game.
THE SCIENCE: There are two types of sunscreen: inorganic such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and organic which include avobenzone and oxybenzone. The inorganic sunscreens reflect UV rays while the organic absorbs the rays and slowly breaks them down and release heat. You also want to look for 'broad-spectrum' sunscreen which protect your skin against both UVA and UVB rays. When it comes to choosing a sunscreen make sure you go for a brand with a 50 SPF (anything above 50 has not been clinically proven to be more effective).
6. Put antiperspirant deodorant in your day bag. Let's be honest about this one: Sweating is kinda gross and just makes you feel (and smell) yucky. Feeling fresh and clean is half the battle.
NOTE: There are two different types of deodorant: antiperspirant and deodorant. Antiperspirants stop sweating while deodorants cut down on the elements that make sweat smell. A majority of the brands sold will contain both facets. However, you can buy deodorant without antiperspirants.
7. Clothing is key. Wear moisture wicking, lose-fitting, light-colored clothes. No dark colors!
THE SCIENCE: Remember back to grade school where we learned about color. Dark colors absorb the suns ray while light colors reflect those rays.
8. In the weeks and months leading up to your summer sports season participate in aerobic activity. This will prepare your body to better deal with the stress of the heat.
THE SCIENCE: Acclimating your body to the heat can be as easy as working out aerobically a couple of days a week leading up to the season. By doing this you are also training your body to deal with the heat.
9. When possible wear a hat that covers your face.
THE SCIENCE: According to Walter Herman, retired cardiologist from Philadelphia's Jefferson Hospital, "approximately 20% of the body's blood supply flow to your face." Therefore, the need to keep the head and face shaded are very important. And this is perfectly good reason to don an awesome sombrero!
10. Take a break in a shady spot under a tree.
THE SCIENCE: The process of evapotranspiration causes trees to extract moisture from the soil then release it into the atmosphere via evaporation and transpiration making the air around the roots feel cooler.
11. Make sure you are not looking at just the ambient temperature but also the heat index which will give you an accurate description of what the air will feel like.
THE SCIENCE: Heat Index takes humidity into consideration where humidity is combined with the air temperature.
12. Misting fans keep you cool by simulate the evaporation of sweat.
Note: You can sometimes buy misting fan at tournaments but you will pay an arm and a leg. It is much cheaper to buy at home to take with you.
So what happens if you do end up feeling the adverse effects of heat? This one's a no-brainer: IMMEDIATELY seek medical attention. This could be an onsite athletic trainer or even calling 911 if the symptoms are progressing. Heat-related illness is nothing to mess with. Every year an average of 658 people dies in the United States from heat related illness and nearly every single one of those deaths is preventable.

Back to VHS Reviews :: Watch RaccoonTV :: Back to Human Raccoon
Hackers is one of the greatest movies of all time. The first genuine, true depiction of what it's like to hack the Gibson.
The story opens with a child named Zero Cool (aka Dade) who got in trub trubs for hacking into computers and such.
I can relate to him, because I too am zero (percent) cool.
Fast forward to today times, he's all growed up like a fuckin' Rugrat. And he's celebrating his newfound agedom with getting on the computer for the first time since being legally barred from doing so... but he comes back just as talented as hacking as he ever was. As if technology hasn't evolved whatsoever in 10 years. Dude's a savant.
Like all high school students, Dade is like 30. But when he arrives at his NEW SCHOOL!!!, he meets Angelina Jolie and gets a big ol' boner in his pants. She's got probably the worst hairstyle she's ever had in this movie and for some reason it's the most attractive I've ever found her. I love girls with bad haircuts. They delight me.
Anyway. They end up going back and forth with various pranks. "There's a pool on the roof" and such. Dude goes out there, gets rained on like a motherfucker. Get shredded, dumbass. But then he turns the sprinklers on and says "the pool on the roof must have a leak."
Good shit. Oh, and sorry for the spoilers. I actually just ruined the entire movie for you.
...oh yeah! And there's the time you think it's her writhing around in latex but it turns out to be him in her sexual fantasy. This chick is unhinged. This guy isn't even a cute femboy. He's just some guy with like hairy balls and stuff. The fuck.
Anyway. An evil man who calls himself The Plague wants to pin evil hacking schemes on our heroic hackers, and that's no good. And what kind of name is The Plague? What? You think you're cool because you gave yourself an edgy nickname? So lame. If you need some gimmicky edgelord name to get yourself over, you're a lost cause kiddo.
Anyway. Writing these reviews kinda makes me feel like God. Like I could hack the planet.
I'd be so good at it. I love to get on the computer and push buttons.

Jacob Tending his Flock, Ribera, José de, 1591-1652
Sunday School Celebration:
Instead of a Digital Sunday school this week. Sunday School families are invited to meet in the church building's backyard at 4:30 pm. Remember your masks for a gathering of socially-distanced games, pizza, and a short bible lesson. Plan to join us this Sunday! If you haven't sent Tyler Jarvis an RSVP yet, please do so soon so that we know how many people to expect! TylerJarvis.CEC@gmail.com.
Middle School Game Night:
After a fun Game Night last month, another was scheduled for this upcoming Tuesday, July 28th from 7-8pm. Like our last Game Night, this will be done over Zoom. Tyler Jarvis, our Children & Youth Ministry Director, will send out the link to the Zoom chat on Tuesday morning. He looks forward to seeing our upcoming 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and 9th graders for a fun time on Tuesday evening! RSVP to Tyler at the address above.
Lunch for New Haven's Community Soup Kitchen:
Thanks to all who signed up so quickly to make sandwiches and brownies for the Community Soup Kitchen that operates in the Parish Hall of Christ Church, New Haven. The Sign-up Genius went out on Wednesday afternoon and was fully subscribed by Thursday afternoon!
Participants: please remember to pick up your sandwich and brownie makings from our Parish Hall Kitchen between 10a.m. and 5p.m. on Tuesday, July 28, and to return the sandwiches and brownies in their individual baggies between 9 and 10:30a.m. on Wednesday, July 29.
Worship Schedule to Continue:
The recommendations of our Worship Options Group for August into September, were adopted by the Vestry at their meeting July 22. With Phase 3 of re-opening currently on hold as COVID-19 rages in much of the country, the decision is to continue our current pattern of Sunday worship.
Morning Prayer in the Garden will continue at 9a.m., alternating Rite I & Rite II, and adding a brief children's sermon while (Digital) Sunday School goes on vacation. This will continue to be our only in-person worship offering, with masks, distancing and most worshipers bringing their own lawn chairs.
Our celebrations of The Holy Eucharist will continue to be livestreamed at 10a.m., with Spiritual Communion, hymns, and organ; the Vestry authorized continuing to engage professional vocalists through the end of the year.
The one major change is that the Wednesday Order for Evening service will take a summer vacation beginning August 12, with September 16 the likely return date.
Reading Group Update:
As of mid-week, enough of you had responded to the Senior Warden's invitation to discuss Robin Diangelo's book White Fragility, that it looked like there might be a need for two groups. If you would like to participate and haven't already done so, please respond to Susan Leonard at sclabq@gmail.com noting the days or evenings that would be good for you.
Drive-in for Justice Film Night:
Mark your calendars now for the Guilford Racial Education Project's "Drive-in for Justice" on Monday, August 10. The film will be "Just Mercy," a moving account of the work of activist attorney Bryan Stevenson in Alabama. Details about the evening will be forthcoming; find out more about the work of GREP on their FaceBootk page here
Among the Project's leaders are our own Mariam Kish, Gabby Perez and Natalia Perez. I hope we will support these young parishioners and their colleagues!
Attention Gardeners:
Whether or not you were part of the mulching brigade in May, the front gardens are calling out for some attention! Well actually, it is Junior Warden Alicia Bacon who is inviting anyone who wants an excuse to be outside in the cool of the morning or evening, to choose a bed to weed along the street front and driveway. Bags are available; feel free to put your "harvest" in the garbage bins.
Virtual Coffee Hour:
Please join us for Coffee Hour via Zoom this Sunday July 26 at 11:30a.m. by clicking this new link; please disregard past ones.
You can also participate by phone at 11:30a.m. Sunday by dialing 646.558.8656. You'll be asked for the Meeting ID: 871 9427 0261 and Password: 899817..
ECW's Drive for Guilford Food Bank:
Our ECW ladies have a keen eye for bargains. When they learned that the Guilford Food Bank could turn a $10 gift into $100 retail value of food, they saw that as too good a deal to pass up. So, they've had a "Pandemic Food Bank" project announced in the weekly letter that Diane Link sends to the ECW's mailing list. If you have questions or want to receive this newsletter, you can reach Diane at (203) 458-1806. If you'd like to participate, contributions may be sent directly to ECW treasurer, Rhoda Whitman, 21 Aberdeen Way, Durham, CT 06422. They are also offering the opportunity for donations to be made in memory of someone who has died, regardless of the cause. They have a card to send to the family of the deceased with the donors' name included.
ECW Gift CardHolders are still available!
ECW's popular gift cardholders, especially for graduation and birthdays, as well as all-occasions, are still available. Please call Diane at the number above to place your order; be sure and tell her about your graduate's school and school colors, or your special occasion. They are still $1.00 each plus $.50 postage per card.
Sunday Intercessions:
Please continue sending me the people and concerns you would like included in the Prayers of the People. This request is the online version of the form on which you would note petitions, intercessions and thanksgivings, as you entered the church nave for worship. Please reply to this message by 8a.m. Sunday morning.
Our Sunday intercessions, remembrances and thanksgivings will be included in the "Let Us Pray" letter, and remembered again during Wednesday Evening Prayers.
Wednesday Order for Evening:
Our livestream mid-week evening service of prayer and music continues this Wednesday at 7p.m. July 29 being the Feast of SS. Mary & Martha of Bethany, our readings, prayers and hymns will give thanks for their roles as steadfast friends of Jesus and supporters of his earthly ministry. Devotees of Lent Madness will remember that Martha of Bethany "won" the "Golden Halo" for 2019.
Thursday Bible Study meets 9:30-10:30a.m. via Zoom. We are continuing our study in Genesis of Jacob's story. This week's question: Has Rachel now become a "triickster" like Jacob? To join our Zoom conversation, click here. Participation by telephone is also possible; I'll the connection number on request.
Thanks to all who are mailing in your offerings!
Although our in-person worship remains limited, the full life of the parish continues in prayer, worship, education and service -- and in all the ways that support and maintain our common life. So, as you are able, in your current financial situation, please continue your financial support of our common life by sending your offerings to Christ Church, PO Box 574, Guilford, CT 06437. Your offering will be presented at the altar; it will be physically present, even as you remain safely at home.


Get ready to become the main guest for every dinner party.
Like many moms, mine is also a big fan of Martha Stewart's recipes. Like many college students, my version of cooking is a grilled cheese sandwich and a reheated pizza. So, we decided to compromise and come together to do this easy recipe. I promise, if you follow this article, this gelatin recipe is going to make you the college version of Martha Stewart.
Start by pouring the juice inside a small bowl. After that, add the gelatin to the juice and let it sit for 5 minutes.
#Spoontip: Avoid having bit patches with excess gelatin by lightly sprinkling the gelatin into the juice, instead of just dropping it.
While you wait for juice and gelatin to soften, heat ¼ cup of the peach mango juice in a saucepan. Add the sugar and stir the pan until the sugar has been disolved. Turn off the heat once this has happened.
Now, add the gelatin mixture you had in the other bowl into the pan until that mixture too, is dissolved.
To finalize this step, add the juice we haven't yet used and mix all of this together. It should look like the picture above.
Grab a loaf pan and put the fruits in it. You can add as many as you like, this is your dessert. Just know that you are later going to add the mixture we made, so it probably is a not good idea to fill the entire pan with fruits. Personally, I just grab a pair of handful of them and drop that amount.
As I said before, now is the moment you add the mixture to the pan. Be sure that all fruits are completely under the surface of the juice, so they won't ruin your gelatin once its ready.
You are almost done. Leave the pan in the fridge until the gelatin has a firmer texture. This might take a minimum of 3 hours, but I always leave it overnight just to be safe.
Now that your gelatin is firm, add a little boiling water to a bigger pan. Be careful now, because this last step is the hardest one and it could ruin your gelatin for good. Dip the pan in the water for 2 seconds and try to flip it into a plate. If it is not flipping, continue to dip the pan for a few seconds and try again.
Unmolding this gelatin might be hard, so try to be really careful not to leave the pan in hot water for too long. Try to carefully shake it the first time, if needed, before using the hot water again.
This is a step-by-step original recipe inspired by Martha's own Mixed Berry Terrine recipe. This healthy dessert alternative is not only going to make you the next dinner party sensation, but it is also a perfect snack to eat while you binge watch your shows on Netflix. This gelatin is not only healthy, but it is also tasty and easy to make. The perfect combination.

Study First To Prove Benefit Of Cognitive and Physical Rest In Concussion Recovery
A week of strict cognitive and physical rest significantly improves performance of concussed athletes on neurocognitive tests and decreases severity of post-concussion symptoms, a first-of-its-kind study finds. The beneficial effects of the week of rest were seen whether the rest came soon after a concussion or even weeks to months later.
Heads Up New Jersey! Second Annual Sports Concussion Summit on Sunday, July 17 in Plainsboro
Submitted by Brooke de Lench on Mon, 07/11/2011 - 19:54. | comments
Robert Cantu
Heads up to physicians and health care providers in the Garden State: here's a chance to learn about sport concussions from some of top experts in the field as, this coming Sunday, July 17, 2011, the Athletic Trainers Society of New Jersey will hold its second annual sports concussion summit in Plainsboro.


If you've been following our renovation updates, then you know that the second floor of the Library has been completely gutted in the space of one week. Marble slabs were removed, walls were disassembled, and the elevator was blocked off to keep curiosity at bay (and our patrons safe). Now begins new construction – wiring, plumbing, lighting and ventilation – cranes will lift the building materials from the loading dock and through a second floor window. We ask that patrons stay clear of the second floor stairwell doors and be aware that delays might be experienced when using the elevator.
And don't forget, the books that were once housed on the second floor can be found in Falvey West, which patrons can enter from the first floor near the print center. Feel free to ask for help at the front desk!
