DENVER, Feb. 7, 2019 ― Colorado Acute Long Term Hospital has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval® for Disease-Specific Wound Care Certification. The certification is a symbol of the level of quality and clinical excellence the hospital's Wound Healing Institute of Denver demonstrates through its commitment to providing safe and effective patient care. The 63-bed hospital is the first in the state of Colorado and the first hospital in the LifeCare Health Partners system to achieve this designation.
To qualify, Colorado Acute Long Term Hospital underwent a rigorous on-site review where a Joint Commission surveyor reviewed clinical practice guidelines and performance measures. The hospital's program, led by Dr. Glenn Herrmann, a nationally renowned plastic surgeon, provides individualized treatment plans designed for high-risk patients with impaired tissue integrity.
According to a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), called "Management of Chronic Wounds—2018," it is estimated that as many as 4.5 million Americans have chronic wounds – wounds that do not heal in four weeks or less or are complicated by other underlying medical conditions.
Colorado Acute Long Term Hospital has offered wound care services to the Denver community for 20 years. Over the last five years the hospital has expanded its general wound care services to include an innovative wound closure procedure and after-care program for patients with complex, non-healing wounds. In 2017, the hospital performed wound closures for nearly 120 patients from more than 20 states using this advanced wound closure technique. The program boasts higher-than-average success rates, including a 90 percent success rate for wound closure without complications. According to recent hospital data, 86 percent of patients cited an improvement to their overall quality of life following treatment.

Are you planning an expedition for 2019?
Download a grant award application form to apply for an award. Forms should be returned by 31 January in the year of the project. Further advice can be obtained from Gemma Wardle, Awards & Grants Officer.
Applications are welcome from all types of young people, aged 19 or under, undertaking expeditions or adventurous pursuits. The definition of adventure should relate to the background and experience of the applicant. In recent years awards have been given to enable participation in expeditions abroad, or at sea, for physical adventure, community projects, conservation work and fieldwork in developing countries, and to an autistic youngster attending an adventure course in Wales.
Fair distribution of the awards to obtain a balance e.g. type of adventure, gender, minorities, age, etc.
Most YET awards are named after explorers who have achieved great feats in the past. They have all played their part in encouraging the youth of today to have the opportunity to follow in their footsteps, creating their own Everests.
The Everest Award was launched in 2012. Named after the highest point on Earth, its summit is achieved by few. This award gives opportunities for young people to achieve their own "Everest" by facing up to a challenge in an expedition setting. It is primarily aimed at prospective expeditioners who have had some disadvantage in their lives.
John Hunt, later Lord Hunt, led the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1952. He always had a keen interest in adventurous activities for the young, establishing Endeavour Training, the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and many initiatives with disadvantaged or delinquent youth. He was the first President of the Young Explorers' Trust. This award is awarded to overseas expeditions only and priority is given to disadvantaged members.
Sir Vivian Fuchs was a noted explorer in Africa and the Polar Regions. He was the leader of the first Trans Antarctic Expedition in 1956 -57.

These awards are given annually to members of an overseas youth expedition.
Jim Bishop was an outstanding young engineer, scientist and explorer who was tragically killed whilst on an international expedition to the Karakorum. He was originally inspired by mountains and adventure as a teenager and he always regarded this initial experience as an important factor in his subsequent life. He always endeavoured to encourage this taste for adventure in the young and the Jim Bishop Awards were established by his family and friends to help further these ideals. The Fund is administered by the Young Explorers' Trust.
The Jim Bishop Awards were established to assist young people to take part in adventurous projects at home or abroad. Applications are welcomed from all types of young people not necessarily undertaking expeditions.
Alfred Stephenson was the first Chairman of the YET Expedition Screening Panel and a great believer in the value of youth expeditions.

Google created "unnecessary risk" for Fortnite users, claims Epic boss
Ayush Saraswat August 29, 2018, 8:17 PM August 29, 2018 1069
by John E Dunn
The nay-sayers were right – releasing the Android version of the mega-successful game Fortnite in a way that bypassed Google's Play Store was a security risk after all.
Publisher Epic Games opened invitations to download the beta version of Fortnite from its website on August 9. Just days later, a Google security researcher identified only as 'Edward' published news of a vulnerability in its installer that could make possible what has recently been dubbed the 'Man-in-the-disk' (MITD) attack.
This was bad for several reasons, the first being that anyone exploiting it could too easily substitute their malware for the Fortnite Android Package (APK) file on Samsung devices (the game's exclusive launch partner), without the user being any the wiser.
An alarming possibility, of course, which is why Epic fixed the game by changing the downloader's storage location from a public to a private area within a day of being told about it, on August 16.
But Epic faced a second problem – Google said it would make the flaw public a week later, on August 23, as mandated by its famously tough disclosure policy.
Epic wasn't happy, claiming this didn't allow enough time for all of its Samsung launch and beta users to receive an update.
Tweeted Epic's CEO and founder, Tim Sweeney, the day after Google made the flaw public:
We asked Google to hold the disclosure until the update was more widely installed. They refused, creating an unnecessary risk for Android users in order to score cheap PR points.
Of course, if Epic had made Fortnite for Android available through the Play Store instead of offering it as a sideloaded app pointing at Epic's servers, perhaps the vulnerability wouldn't have existed in the first place.
Finding a flaw in a game looks bad enough but finding a gaping flaw in the software designed to download that game from outside the Play Store looks even worse, even if the flaw was easily fixed.
Fortnite users couldn't care less where they get the Android app from, but Epic – and Google – do.
As was widely debated in the weeks leading up to the app's release, hosting Fortnite for Android on Google Play would mean handing over as much as 30% of the proceeds for the privilege.
Given that Fortnite for Apple's iOS has reportedly been making $27 million per month, hosting the APK on Epic's servers looked like a great way to cut out the middleman.
Cynics will point out that Google's Android business model depends in part at least on taking that cut, and losing the biggest games phenomenon of the moment to a direct download was never going to go down well.
However true that might be, sideloading comes with big risks, particularly on Android versions prior to Android 8.0 (Oreo), which still allows users to download from 'unknown sources' on a global rather than app-by-app basis.
Malicious apps can exploit this setting to install themselves, including completely fake Android Fortnite apps of the sort found circulating earlier this summer.
Whether Google's decision to disclose the flaw after a week was justified or not, it's hard to argue the case that Epic's distribution model is good for the long-term security of its users.

Your personality number describes how you have shaped your self-expression so that you can survive and thrive in society. Sometimes this number is interpreted as being the mask that you wear in public. Many people are surprised to discover that their personality number varies greatly from the "real you" that is expressed by Life Path, Destiny and Soul numbers.
To divine your personality number you must first take your name and reduce it down to all of its consonants.
Using the chart below you would then find the numerical equivalents of all of these letters and add them all together.

Q: Disable select if checkbox checked jquery I have a html script where there is a multiple select I want to be "disabled" when I check a checkbox field.
Example:

<input type="checkbox" id="chk_select" name="check" value="ok" "/> deselect

<select multiple="multiple" name="candidato[]" id="soci" required>
<option value="">-</option>
<option value="Name 1">Name 1</option>
<option value="Name 2">Name 2</option>
</select>

Is it possible to disable the multiple select with jquery?
Thank You!
Giuseppe

A: Try this one.

function checkstate() {
    document.getElementById('soci').disabled = document.getElementById('chk_select').checked;
}

<input type="checkbox" id="chk_select" name="check" value="ok" onclick="checkstate()"> deselect

<select multiple="multiple" name="candidato[]" id="soci" required>
<option value="">-</option>
<option value="Name 1">Name 1</option>
<option value="Name 2">Name 2</option>
</select>

A: You can find how to check if the checkbox is checked here:
Check if checkbox is checked with jQuery
Than you can find how to disable select here:
jQuery - disable selected options
Try to toggle a class on the select if the checkbox is checked.
Also, you can find the working example here:
disable select if checkbox is checked

A: This will do the trick

$('input[type="checkbox"]').change(function(){
if($(this).is(':checked')){
$('select').attr('disabled','disabled')
}else{
$('select').removeAttr('disabled','disabled')
}
})

<input type="checkbox" id="chk_select" name="check" value="ok" "/> deselect

<select multiple="multiple" name="candidato[]" id="soci" required >
<option value="">-</option>
<option value="Name 1">Name 1</option>
<option value="Name 2">Name 2</option>
</select>

A: The following is a jQuery based solution, but it can just as easily be done with vanilla JS on modern browsers:

$('#chk_select').change(function(){
  $('#soci').attr('disabled',this.checked);
});

<input type="checkbox" id="chk_select" name="check" value="ok"/> deselect

 <select multiple="multiple" name="candidato[]" id="soci" required>
<option value="">-</option>
<option value="Name 1">Name 1</option>
<option value="Name 2">Name 2</option>
</select>

Vanilla JS solution for all browsers apart from Internet Explorer:

function qs(s){return document.querySelector(s);}
qs('#chk_select').addEventListener('change',function(){
 qs('#soci').disabled=this.checked;});
<input type="checkbox" id="chk_select" name="check" value="ok"/> deselect

 <select multiple="multiple" name="candidato[]" id="soci" required>
<option value="">-</option>
<option value="Name 1">Name 1</option>
<option value="Name 2">Name 2</option>
</select>

A: Hope this helpful...
view

    <input type="checkbox" id="chk_select" name="check" value="ok" onclick="myFunction()"/>
 deselect

What Is Affluence Network Press Release – Hybrid Pass Up
We would like to thank you for visiting our website in looking for "What Is Affluence Network Press Release" online.
The physical Internet backbone that carries data between the different nodes of the network is now the work of several firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that offer long distance pipelines, sometimes at the international level, regional local pipe, which finally connects in homes and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP runs its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private firms, and sometimes by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and companies who want to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to stream without interruption, in the correct place at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet collectively these firms determine how it operates, and recognized rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to determine how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs consent from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone for connecting to and with her. Concern over security issues? A working group is formed to focus on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it mended. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which govern the manner in which these problems are resolved.
The benefit of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not regulated by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a dedicated promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet operates. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that govern how it works current inherent difficulties to an individual. Blockchain technology has none of that.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't essential to understand how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's basically important to understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike monies as we know them today where Governments and banks can simply choose to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they are doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be managed by users using a mining software, which solves the sophisticated algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
Ethereum is an incredible cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could increase dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based company that could lead to company being unable to continue to operate or to stop operation.
You have probably seen this many times where you generally spread the good word about crypto. It is not unstable? What goes on if the price accidents? to date, several POS programs offers free transformation of fiat, relieving some problem, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most people will undoubtedly be hesitant to hold any. We need to find a method to fight the volatility that is inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Many individuals choose to use a money deflation, notably those who desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial seclusion, for instance, is excellent for political activists, but more problematic when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living pay check to pay check, it'd take place within your wealth, with the rest reserved for other currencies.
Hybrid Binary – What Is Affluence Network Press Release
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in the same way, but in addition they participate in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures enable a trade to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute arbitration services to be developed in the future. These services could enable a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain constantly leaves public evidence that a transaction occurred. This can be possibly used in an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
Since among the earliest forms of making money is in money lending, it's a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending sites currently focus on Bitcoin, Some of these sites you might be required fill in a captcha after a specific period of time and are rewarded with a small amount of coins for seeing them. You are able to visit the www.cryptofunds.co web site to find some lists of of these sites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to think of an acceptable investment strategy.
Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are really circulating in the exchanges. Moreover, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Consequently, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This situation isn't to imply that markets will not be vulnerable to price manipulation, yet there's no need for large amounts of money to transfer market prices up or down. The smallest events on the planet market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, international, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it truly is more immune to outrageous inflation and tainted banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy risks. Security and privacy can easily be achieved by just being smart, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of possession from the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission trades on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and confirm these trades. Bitcoin miners do this because they can bring in transaction fees paid by users for faster transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.

The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: as a result of character of the method in which it's transacted. All transactions on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. As soon as you're paid, you get paid. This isn't anything short-term wherever your web visitors could dispute or desire a discounts, or employ illegal sleight of palm. In-practice, many traders could be wise to work with a payment processor, due to the permanent character of crypto-currency deals, you need to ensure that security is tough. With any form of crypto-currency may it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially access your individual tips and so steal your cash. Unfortunately, you almost certainly will never obtain it back. It is very important for you really to adopt some excellent secure and safe techniques when coping with any cryptocurrency. This can protect you from all of these unfavorable activities.
In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may even be dealt as a thing. Advocates of cryptocurrencies say that this sort of online cash is not governed by way of a main banking system and is not therefore susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are always a limited amount of items, this cashis benefit is founded on market forces, permitting entrepreneurs to deal over cryptocurrency transactions.
Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they usually do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a unique address for a wallet containing a cryptocurrency, there's no digital information held in it, like in the same way that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is only a representation of worth, but there's no genuine tangible sort of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. In other words, its backers argue that there is actual worth, even through there is no physical representation of that worth. The worth increases due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time period which is worth an ever diminishing amount of money or some kind of wages in order to ensure the shortfall. Each coin consists of many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which is one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The person who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a wallet file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all trades dwells. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to regulate it. The reason for this could be simply that the market is too small for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It really is also possible the regulators just do not understand the technology and its implications, awaiting any developments to act.

Bitcoin is an incredible intellectual and technical achievement, and it's generated an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and pass up on very profitable business models made accessible because of the growing use of blockchain technology.
It should be challenging to get more modest gains (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be accurate: having modest gains is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to take a look at publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Secondly, there's more volatility and reward in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of sites like Coinwarz.

AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of Zavarovalnica Triglav d.d. and Pozavarovalnica Triglav Re, d.d. Ljubljana
Lucio Savastano
Associate Financial Analyst
lucio.savastano@ambest.com
Michael Dunckley, CFA
Associate Director, Analytics
michael.dunckley@ambest.com
AMSTERDAM - OCTOBER 16, 2020 11:17 AM (EDT)
AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating of "a" of Zavarovalnica Triglav d.d. (Triglav), the operating holding company of the Triglav group, and Pozavarovalnica Triglav Re, d.d. Ljubljana (Triglav Re), a wholly owned subsidiary of Triglav. Both companies are domiciled in Slovenia. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable.
The ratings reflect Triglav's balance sheet strength, which AM Best categorises as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, neutral business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. The ratings of Triglav Re factor in its strategic importance to Triglav, together with its strong integration into the group.
Triglav's balance sheet strength is underpinned by its risk-adjusted capitalisation at the strongest level, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR), on a standard and stressed basis. The assessment also considers the group's prudent reserving and good financial flexibility, with access to equity and debt markets, as evidenced by the issuance in 2019 of a EUR 50 million subordinated bond. Financial leverage and interest coverage are well within AM Best tolerances. An offsetting factor continues to be the high average guarantees embedded within the group's life portfolio; however, the sale of most products with guarantees was discontinued in 2019.
Triglav's operating performance continues to be strong, as evidenced by a solid five-year (2015-2019) weighted average return on equity (ROE) and combined ratio of 10.8% and 89.9%, respectively (as calculated by AM Best). At half-year 2020, the group's combined ratio and ROE were 92.4% and 8.5%, respectively. Triglav's performance is driven by excellent non-life technical earnings in its domestic market, where the group's scale enables it to operate with a low expense base, and is supplemented by healthy investment income. The profitability of Triglav's international operations in the West Balkans has been under pressure due to intense competitive conditions and high operating costs. Nonetheless, the group continues to demonstrate modest improvements in earnings derived from this region, as it grows and actively seeks alternative, lower cost distribution channels.
Triglav benefits from its dominant position in its domestic market, with a 36% market share, in terms of gross written premium, in 2019. The group is also a dominant player in the Adria region, with approximately 20% market share. Through its various operating companies, Triglav is a global provider of insurance and reinsurance, leading to a well-diversified portfolio by product and geography. AM Best expects growth in premium volume to be moderate over the medium term, reflecting the combination of improving operating conditions in Slovenia, and the highly competitive nature of the international reinsurance market.
This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website. For all rating information relating to the release and pertinent disclosures, including details of the office responsible for issuing each of the individual ratings referenced in this release, please see AM Best's Recent Rating Activity web page.

Henrik Larsson Celtic Signed Shirt Display with COA
Larsson began his career with Högaborgs BK. He moved to Helsingborgs IF, where he was one of the key players when they won promotion to the Allsvenskan in 1993. Larsson then moved to Feyenoord for four years before leaving in 1997. Next at Celtic he won four league titles in seven years. He was moved at the start of his second season there to be the focal striker rather than the supporting forward. This led to him scoring 242 goals in 315 competitive Celtic matches.
He moved to FC Barcelona in 2004 where he won two league titles and the 2006 Champions League with a pivotal two assists in the final. Following the expiration of his contract at Barcelona, Larsson returned to his hometown club of Helsingborg, and joined Manchester United on a brief loan between January and March 2007.

Q: How to rename a variable in a loop in MATLAB? Can somebody please tell if there exists a way to rename a variable in each iteration of a loop in MATLAB?
Actually, I want to save a variable in a loop with a different name incorporating the index of the loop. Thanks.

A: Ignoring the question, "why do you need this?", you can use the eval() function:
Example:
for i = 1:3
  eval(['val' num2str(i) '=' num2str(i * 10)]);
end

The output is:
val1 =
    10

val2 =
    20

val3 =
    30

A: Based on your comment, I suggest using a cell array. This allows any type of result to be stored by index. For example:
foo=cell(bar,1);
for ii=1:bar
    foo{ii}=quux;
end

You can then save foo to retain all your intermediate results. Though the loop index is not baked into the variable name as you want, this offers identical functionality.

A: Another way, using a struct to save the loop index into the name of the field:
for ii=1:bar
    foo.(["var" num2str(ii)]) = quux;
end

This creates a structure with fields like foo.var1, foo.var1 etc. This does what you want without using eval.

The imposing building of De Casino in the Stationsstraat was built in 1852 on behalf of local notables for the cultural activities of the Liberal Party. Shortly after World War I, De Casino was converted into a cinema.
Cinema Casino closed its doors in 1969. After that, the building gradually fell into disrepair, until it was renovated in 2009 by the former concert organization De Spiegel (now De Casino). The café of the same name is located underneath the concert hall. It has become one of the most popular night spots in the city.

Historic Philadelphia and Washington
October 15, 2010 Leave a comment Written by AdvSprtJanet
We arrived in Philadelphia in Pennsylvania in the fog and rain, and with no campsite nearby we located the nearest Comfort Inn. The next morning with rain jackets, umbrellas and maps in hand we headed off to explore Philly's Independence Park and historic district to try and understand the origins of this nation. It seemed that this is the destination for every school field trip and together with a few straggling tourists and hundreds of school children we listened to the park rangers telling us "no bubblegum allowed" and "make sure you take everything with you." Security was tougher than going through an airport security check, the lady guard spent what seemed like several minutes going through my little purse, checking the Kleenex or perhaps she was just looking for bubble gum. I felt I was back in school, although the park rangers provided excellent information, I whispered to Tom, "He would make a great teacher at a reform school."
Damp but happy, reflections
Onwards
Adventurouspirts
Nature on parade
The Independence National Historic Park together with the old city has been called, "America's most historic square mile" and the top attraction is the 2,080lb bronze Liberty Bell commissioned in 1751. The bell was tolled on important occasions such as the reading of the Declaration of Independence but in the 19th century it became badly cracked and is no longer tolled and has not been rung since George Washington's birthday. The Liberty Bell now sits cracked, broken and unused perhaps an ironic reminder that not all things are truly free in the USA.
The liberty bell
The room where the US Constitution was signed has been beautifully restored.
A very historic room
The US constitution as art
Despite the chilly rain we enjoyed strolling around the city especially enjoying the magnificent murals. In 1984 the city started a program to eradicate the graffiti crisis plaguing the city and it has worked its magic. Large colourful murals, over 3000 of them decorate this city and should be an example to any city plagued by graffiti. Graffiti artists were provide opportunities to channel their creative talent into mural-making under the guidance of Jane Golden.
Murals beautify the cityscape
We passed by Elfreth's Alley a tiny cobblestoned street which is believed to be the oldest continuously lived in street in the USA. Old buildings line the streets, banks, US Postal Services, Carpenters Hall, churches and an old city hall. We were wet and tired and it was time to head back to the hotel for a hot bath, ooh that was wonderful.
Elfreth's Alley
We arrived in Gettysburg reported to be the most haunted place in the USA. Once the site of a 3 day battle fought in 1863 by 100,000 Union soldiers against 75,000 confederate soldiers and after which a staggering 51,000 lay dead or wounded.
Historic Gettysburg
This is what the fight is over
The Confederates were turned back and the Gettysburg battle is now recognised as a major turning point in the history of the USA. To commemorate the site a burial ground was purchased and President Lincoln dedicated the Gettysburg National Memorial with his Gettysburg address. We drove the 16 mile route around the battle field which today, is pretty countryside with a terrible history. It is more than a road trip it is a journey into the soul of the battle that shaped the future United States of America. American's most personal war. Today there are over 1,800 monuments and memorials to be seen.
Gettysburg monument
We had planned to spend another day in Gettysburg but when Jon Stewart announced he was going to be having a rally "To Restore Sanity" on the National Mall in Washington we decided to head for Washington so we could attend this rally and it was a good thing we did. Washington is very different to New York City. There is a more relaxed feeling about it, people are friendlier on the metro, tourist guides less hassled and the locals seem less rushed. Was I still in the USA, can two cities be so different? Washington is very easy for a tourist to explore as most museums, galleries, monuments and memorials are located along the Washington Mall. There is a sense of familiarity as most of Washington I have seen many times in the media. Some things surprised me however. The Washington Mall seems bigger, the White House smaller, the Washington Memorial higher, also Arlington Cemetery is not in Washington, and the Smithsonian Museum is not one museum. It is in fact the world's largest museum complex consisting of 19 National museums and galleries and best of all they are free.
Stunning in the sunset
The US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
I first learnt about Raphael Lemkin when visiting the Kigali Genocide Memorial in Rwanda in 2006. He was a Polish Jew who coined the word genocide in1944 to describe what was happening then in German-occupied Europe. The holocaust, the mass murder of millions of Jews and others was a watershed event in world history. As I entered the Holocaust Memorial Museum, an identity card of a real person who lived during the Holocaust was given to me. Gertruda Nowak was a pretty girl born in Poland in 1930. She was one of five children and was baptised in the Roman Catholic Church. She was 9 years when the Germans invaded Poland in 1939 and the area they lived in was formally annexed to Germany. She was only 12 years old when her father was taken away by the Nazis, who accused him of working for the Polish underground. 3 months later the Nazis came for her mother and the rest of his family. Gertruda managed to escape by hiding at her grandmother's house. She was arrested when 13 years old and sent to a slave labour camp for children in Lorz's Jewish ghetto where she found two of her brothers. Children died there and sometimes the guards would bury people who were barely alive together with the corpses. Gertruda was freed on January 19 1945. She and her youngest brother were the only members of her family to survive. After the war, she remained in Poland.
As we walked through the museum, I felt a sense of sadness thinking that still today people are experiencing the horrors of war and wondered if there will ever be peace in the world.
At 555 feet, the Washington Memorial soars above the Washington Mall and the view of the nation's capital from the top was spectacular. Although the corner stone was laid in 1848 construction was halted after 10 years due to lack of funding and only restarted 18 years later and completed in 1884. As we came down the elevator we could see where the stone changes colour from the stopping and restarting of construction.
A popular gathering space
There are many memorials and monuments to the "founding fathers" of the USA. Perhaps one of the most grand is the Lincoln Memorial at the end of the Mall, designed in the style of a classical Greek temple with the statue of Lincoln facing the capital and overlooking the reflecting pool.
The Lincoln Memorial
The great man himself
Located just to the side of the Lincoln Memorial is the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, which, is in stark contrast in its simplicity and yet it is a poignant memorial to the men and women who died in that conflict or who remain missing. Fifty eight thousand names are carved into the black granite stone, and lying at the foot of the wall are some personal tokens of remembrance placed by veterans and their families. Poems, photos, letters and pins making this one of the most moving memorials we have seen. Later two memorials that are more conventional were added, a statue of three soldiers and a statue to the women who nursed the wounded and dying in Vietnam.
Vietnam memorial
Fall somber scene
Remebering
Nurses honoured in bronze
We immortalize soldiers
The Korean War Veterans Memorial is located on the other side of the Lincoln Memorial. We arrived at sunset and the large steely soldiers appeared ghostly marching across a field all wearing heavy rain jackets, one could feel their struggle. Alongside the statues is a granite wall etched with faces and scenes from the conflict.
Korean war spirits
The World War 11 memorial stands at the other end of the reflecting pool. With the sun setting, the Washington memorial was reflecting in the pool of the WW11 memorial. Quotes are inscribed all over the memorial and I thought of my dad who fought in this terrible war.
Another war memorial
We knew we were not going to get a tour of the White House nor were we ever likely to get an invite to visit, so we headed for the White House Information Center to watch a video tour of the home of every President of the USA except President Washington.
The 1600 Pennsylvania address is the most famous address in the USA and has been the scene of many historical events of this nation. I thought I found the doorbell but nobody answered when I rang it.
The most famous address in the world
Really, that's it?
Arlington National Cemetery is located across the Potomac River in Virginia where over 320,000 service members and women and their family members are laid to rest. There are veterans from every war the USA has been involved in.
The cycle of life
The cemetery is 624 acres so we took a bus tour, as it was too far to walk. Our first stop was the site where the President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie are buried. It is an understated site with rocks and an eternal flame, which was lit by his wife Jackie at the time of his burial. It seemed a stark contrast to so many other memorials we had seen such as Lincoln or Washington or those at Gettysburg.
President Kennedy's gravesite
While at the Tomb of the Unknowns, a military funeral procession past by us. An honour guard accompanied the American draped coffin drawn by matched horses. A band playing a march led the dignified and solemn procession, a sombre reminder to us that the wars continue. This is a cemetery steeped in history, human suffering and sacrifice.
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier
One of the most interesting facts is that Smithsonian Museum complex was began with a bequest in 1826 from James Smithson a British scientist, who actually never made it to America while alive. It is a mystery as to why he stipulated that his estate go "to the United States of America, to found at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men."
After his death, his body was moved later, to the USA where he now lies in a crypt at the Smithsonian Castle.
The US Capitol, Centre of power
One of the most fascinating exhibits at the American History Museum was the Julia Child's kitchen, although I am not a good cook, I do love people who can create delicious dishes. (Tom does most of the cooking when we travel, perhaps because he also seems to be hungry and if I wait long enough he starts making supper). Julia must have been an amazing women as well as an amazing cook and she had every single cooking utensil you can imagine.
I loved seeing Kermit the Frog from Sesame Street, happy memories of watching that show with my children. The Star Spangled Banner made in 1814 and which inspired the national anthem hung in all its glory.
Unique Star Spangled Banner Display
At the National Museum of Natural History, we were treated to a 3D movie on the sea creatures off the coast of South Africa. It was fantastic, it inspired us to get out there, and Scuba dive again as soon as we can. We marvelled at the Hope diamond from South Africa and were stunned to read it was mailed to the USA in regular post, wrapped in plain brown paper.
Always more to learn
National Air and Space Museum, boy how air travel has changed. Looking at the cockpits before there were so many computers, when the traveling by air was a "big deal" and all your family arrived at the airport to see you off or return from a great adventure. Now days airports are long line-ups, security checks, luggage galore, and definitely no visiting the pilot in the cockpit. If you are old, enough to remember when one could go and meet the pilot. The size of the first space suits, they seemed so small. Were only small persons chosen to go into space? Hey, I could have been a spacewomen in my younger days, another career I missed.
Kids enjoying a school outing
There are times in my life when I wonder about our sanity. Who in their sane mind sells their house and all their possessions and drives across the Americas? So it seemed appropriate that we attend the rally organized by Jon Stewart and Steve Colburn in Washington on October 30. The Rally to Restore Sanity (Stewart) or Keep the Fear Alive (Colburn. We thought perhaps we could learn a thing or two about ourselves and all the other ordinary folk who would attend.
A unique American event
Of course Jon Stewart wasn't concerned about our sanity he was concerned about the sanity of Americans. While students across the world fight for freedom, students in America fight to be on a reality TV show. Their obsession with Hollywood stars and politician's bedroom antics are headline news, who has been arrested for DUI or having another affair. The Americans who make the news, those burning the Koran, inciting hate and participating in other mindless activities are in the minority. Ordinary American citizens are just working hard to make ends meet, get their children through school and save for retirement. It was time for the majority of Americans to have a voice and so the rally was organized for them.
We got up early and headed for the Metro subway by bus. The Metro station was packed with people, 100s in the line up for tickets. The ticket line stretched around the block. Fortunately we already had tickets so headed directly for the train. OMG I had only seen such packed trains in Africa or in movies where one sees pushers pushing people in to ensure no gets left behind. Many people were actually left behind to wait for the next train. Aboard the train there was a festive atmosphere, people joking, chatting and sharing, hand made posters being held up high. The train moved slowly stopping at times, I suspect to deal with the congestion on the tracks.
Arriving at the metro station at the Washington Mall was a sight to see. 10,000 people trying to make their way up the escalators and out the turnstiles. It was chaos but people were polite, helping each other over stuck turnstiles, helping free stuck backpacks, kids and strollers. Once outside it was a sea of humanity. The rally was to take place between 3rd and 7th Ave but people were packed in from 3rd to 15th Ave, and the day broke the record for the most people ever in the Washington Mall and we were there.
Heading to the rally on the Metro
The Mall was filled with 300000 people.
Metro officials stated that Saturday's ridership also broke the record and set a new one of 825,437 trips taken and that does not include all those clambering over the turnstiles in the crush. There were 4 injuries when one escalator sped up and people fell at the bottom and we rode the metro on that day.
There were 152 porta potties; I am talking about a mile on each side of the Mall of porta potties which soon became viewing spots for many as they clambered up onto the top of the porta potties. Trees which could climbed up were climbed. People who bought a rug to sit on gave up as all the space you had was the size of your shoe. Yet the crowd was well behaved and the party had not even begun.
I saw an opening and made a move and quickly leapt onto a bench which gave me a view over the top of the crowd. I was stunned as far as my eyes could see in all directions were people. Someone handed me binoculars but even with them I could not see the end of the crowd. It is estimated between 200,000 -300,000 people were crammed into the Mall.
Finally noon arrived and the show began with the band Roots entertaining the crowds.
The Myth Busters entertained the crowd by having the crowd do the wave, saying they wanted to break a record for the world's largest human wave. I watched from above and could not see the beginning of the wave, then I was surrounded by arms in the air and the wave continued until out of sight. Then it was time for the commands, to cry, to laugh, and to cheek pop and with 100,000's of people all participating I wondered if this was the sanity Jon Stewart was talking about.
Finally Jon Stewart and Steve Colburn were on the stage, the crowd roared their approval. We were entertained by the comedians, who brought on singers and entertainers to add to the acts and shows. Oh yea Jon Stewart stick to your day job don't ever consider giving it up to become a singer.
Raging Grannies
Finally after 3 hours it was time to head home. The crowd attempted to disentangle itself, but the crush of people meant a slow, slow walk as blocking the exit from the Washington Mall were the 152 porta potties!! People squeezing through the breaks between the porta potties, nobody yet had lost their sense of humour but all had lost their aim to be home in time for supper.
Sensible Canadians
The metro ride home was just as packed and crowded and after 3 hours of trying to get onto a train some were beginning to loose their sanity but most took it all in good stride.
Nature always wins
It was an amazing day and one that we will never forget.

RIPARIAN: No Clean Singing Debuts "The Nuclear Unclear" Video From Pittsburgh Death Metal Outfit; Debut EP Nears Release Via Grimoire Records
Posted on January 29, 2019 Authoradmin
[photos by Jeffrey James Smee]
Pittsburgh-based outfit RIPARIAN, formed by former members of Wrought Iron, Circle Of Dead Children, Grisly Amputation, and more, will release their eponymous debut EP through Grimoire Records in March. No Clean Singing is hosting a premiere of the lead single, "The Nuclear Unclear," the lead track to the new EP, which is delivered through an official video for the song.
Since their formation, RIPARIAN's sound has coalesced into an intense entity, infusing a foundation of classic death metal with technical time signature manipulation, a bit of crushing grindcore brute force, with elements of doom and dark atmospherics infiltrating the mix. RIPARIAN packs five tracks of caustic, bizarre, filthy death metal into a dense, twenty-five-minute release on their debut, Riparian.
RIPARIAN also collaborated with North Country Brewing of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania for the release of the band's own beer; a peach saison called The Nuclear Unclear, which was sold in bars and released as a limited run in conjunction with the third annual Brewtal Beerfest event in Millvale, Pennsylvania in October 2018.
The band states, "Leading up to our appearance at Pittsburgh's own 3rd annual Brewtal Beerfest with Dying Fetus, Incantation, and Gatecreeper among others, we were paired up with one of our favorite Pittsburgh area breweries – North Country Brewing out of Slippery Rock, Pennsylvania – to make a collaboration beer exclusively for the fest. We ended up making an unfiltered peach saison called The Nuclear Unclear with fresh local peaches. We had such a good time talking music and working on the beer, that when we pitched the idea of making a music video, they invited us up to use the brewery as the backdrop. After moving a few forklifts full of kegs and cans around, we assembled the main stage for the whole band backdrop and then used other random parts of the brewery for the individual member shots. We love the crew up at North Country and can't thank them enough for all of the support."
No Clean Singing posts with their premiere of the video, which was created by Jeffrey Smee, "RIPARIAN channel a ferocious zeal for musical carnage while displaying impressive technicality, integrating elements of death metal and grindcore, and dosing their rapidly veering rampages with moments of doom and gloom."

RIPARIAN formed in April 2017, their name reflecting elements of their hometown of Pittsburgh, referencing the City Of Bridges, Three Rivers, and the Iron City. Bassist Brooks (ex-Wrought Iron, Circle Of Dead Children) and guitarist Lou Snyder recruited longtime friend, drummer Nick Tupi (ex-Wrought Iron) and the band fell into place. As they progressed as a unit, 2018 saw the trio's ranks magnify to a quintet in only a few short weeks. Guitarist Dan Martin was added in early 2018, his presence allowing myriad new heights of harmonic exploration, increasing the band's overall energy and fury. A month later the band added full-time vocalist Rob Grisly (ex-Grisly Amputation), who brought the tools RIPARIAN needed on the mic; solid death metal fundamentals, guttural lows, and a vast array of inhuman screams, as well as an intellectual approach to the art form.
Since the lineup's solidification, RIPARIAN has carved an increasingly wider channel for themselves with higher profile live shows, signing with Grimoire Records, and recording their self-titled debut with the label's Noel Mueller in Baltimore in September of 2018. Riparian was recorded, mixed, and mastered in September 2018 by Noel Mueller in his Tiny Castle, in Towson, Maryland, with additional vocal recording by Nate Campisi at Mr. Smalls Recording Studio in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the cover artwork for the EP handled by Jason Angst/Artisan Pittsburgh.

Discussion in 'Fulham FC News and Notes' started by HatterDon, Aug 9, 2008.
One of our two Greek tragedies from the previous relegation era squad(s). As likely to get sent off as make a big play. The other, of course, was Kostas Mitroglou, who has 1 goal in three appearances for Galatasaray this season. The 30 year old is on loan from Marseille.
jk's much appreciated recap of the status of what will be our league next August reminded me that Mah Boy Cauley's Barnsley are certain to lose their automatic promotion second place. Despite scoring again yesterday -- his 14th this season, I believe, -- Barnsley lost. Sunderland is still third, but they have two matches in hand and have complete ownership of the Big Mo.
It is good to see the lad finally getting regular starts and sscoring when that happens.
