We all lost Jay Lake this morning, and I am so sad for his daughter and partner and family and close friends, and for all of us who were friends with Jay or knew him or were touched by his life and words. There are an awful lot of us.
Several years back Jay told me he had a short story that was giving him trouble and he wondered if I might take a crack at it. Sounded like an adventure, so I agreed to it, and he sent me the story. It was a full, complete draft with a strange setting and colorful characters and a complex backstory and redolent with Jay's rich prose. I said, "This story is done, Jay. All I can do is mess it up." And Jay said he wanted me to mess it up. That's what he felt the story needed. So I messed it up. I think his draft was better, but I was honored he chose to collaborate with me.
The last time I saw Jay was at San Diego Comic-Con last year. We had lunch, and on the way back to the convention center Jay submitted himself to the ministrations of a street hypnotist. The guy looked a little seedy, but Jay said he was terminally ill, so what's the worst that could happen? The hypnotist did his thing, and he made Jay feel as if he were being tickled. Jay giggled uncontrollably, and his face was a delight to behold. Then we made our way back to the convention center, and we shared a big hug. I wish it hadn't been the last time I saw him. I wish he'd gotten better and was still alive. But I'm grateful that he left me with a memory of smiles and laughter.
Thanks for everything, Jay. You were a very good man.


One man and his dog stood on a pier, looking out at a sea that neither could ever hope to pass. The man sighed, shook his head, looked down at his damp, scuffed shoes and looked back up at the sea. The dog blinked ignorantly up at its owner.
'Rex, come here boy. Come here. Good dog' said the man, bending down to reattach the lead to the dog's collar.
The dog blinked again, for good measure.
And so the man, tugging on the lead as a signal of departure, walked back onto the beach- scratching at his weary eyes and thinking of the cold night ahead of him.
What did he expect of that evening?
A gooey microwave meal; shivering in his oversized jumper; a swig of whiskey in front of the fire, maybe?
He certainly didn't expect a woman to turn up on his door that night.
And he most definitely hadn't imagined her to be blonde, middle aged and effortlessly beautiful, carrying an 'oh so world-weary' sense about her- with just one thing thing to say.
I hope you enjoyed that little story! Comment below what you think should happen next in the plot and maybe I'll write another episode of The Woman From His Past!
This story was inspired by the photo above- taken by my wonderful photographer friend, Lily! Lily runs a fantastic photo blog called 'Lily Does Shots', which you should check out! Make sure you tell her that Not All About Boys sent you!


The Village is transitioning from the former Emergency Notification System to a new notification and 911 caller profile and information system.
If you were signed up for the former Emergency Notification System, you will need to register with this program.
The Village is using Smart911 to allow anyone with a phone -- mobile, landline or Voice Over IP (VOIP) -- to create a Safety Profile online and sign up to receive emergency notifications.
Go to smart911.com and sign up. There's no fee or cost for this service. Create an account that is private and secure. Once the account is created and verified, the user has many options. The Village recommends setting up a Safety Profile and setting up notification preferences.
Plan ahead so that public safety dispatchers have the information they need to provide help fast in an emergency. Through this free online sign-up service anyone can create a Safety Profile. Through this profile, telecommunicators and first responders will have all necessary information in case of an emergency for a more detailed, rapid response, such as pets in a home, vehicle description and emergency contacts. Home and work addresses can be linked to mobile phones, which currently do not provide an address to a 911 dispatcher.

Melanie, 26, is married with no children and works as a Service Delivery Manager with a large IT consultancy. She left school at sixteen and joined the Bank of England with a view to becoming an international banker, but ended up in the computer centre. When the Bank outsourced several of its computer staff, Melanie joined the consultancy and has since progressed rapidly. In particular, she enjoys the people management side of her job and gains a great deal from the management training courses her company provides.
'I went to a comprehensive where the sixth form had 1000 pupils. My weakest subject was English - although I always enjoyed reading - and my strongest, Moths, but by the time I left it was the other way round. Partly because of the teachers and partly because of the way: the course was set out, I found Moths dull. I had planned to go on to sixth form, but my results weren't so good and having come back from a brilliant holiday I didn't want to go back to school. My mother said that I could only leave school if I had a good job to go to, so I applied to the Bank of England, Barclays and NatWest for interviews. I was offered jobs at all three, even though I arrived two hours late for the NatWest appointment. In the end, I chose the Bank of England because of its kudos. It was the lowest paid of the three by far, but the holidays were so good I went for it.
'I had never touched a computer before and wanted to get into the international banking side, so they put me into the computer centre to learn some skills. I started as admin/ receptionist before moving on to the help desk as an operator on mainframes and pc's. I enjoyed it though looking back it was a doss - plenty of time to do everything. In July 2016 we were taken over by Cap Gemini, because the Bank outsourced forty-one members of the computer staff, and I moved with them.
'From then on my career took off. Prior to that I hadn't even thought about a career. I stayed in the mainframe environment for a year before becoming restless. I went for an interview with a construction company and got the job, but on the same day Cap Gemini offered me work on the desktop side. From then my job took off further. I moved to help-desk analyst - right place at the right time and hard work, too. One of the team leaders moved to another account and her replacement wasn't due for a few weeks and they needed someone in the meantime to keep it ticking over. My manager said that although I was on a low level they would give me the chance. Luckily, I didn't mess up and even made a few good suggestions. If you were prepared to put the effort in, Cap Gemini would give you the chance. They don't discriminate at all.
Consider, before continuing with this story, where you would be emotionally, if you accepted this level as your base starting point.

Dog meat is also known as Thịt chó in Vietnamese. The traditional practices of dog meat consumption are seen in some regions of Asia including South Korea, Vietnam, and China.

To illustrate the scale of this practice in Vietnam, according to the FOUR PAWS February 2020 report on dog and cat meat trade in Southeast Asian countries, roughly 5 million dogs are killed for their meat each year. It is important to note that although the figure indicated that Vietnam is the second biggest consumer of dog meat, this practice is common only among a minority of the population

Recent contestation over dog meat consumption in Vietnam has become more frequent. This increased contestation was impacted by animal activists within and outside of Vietnam, by health regulators, and the government, via globalization and expanding market development.

Part of the contestation may be illustrated as the clash of values due to globalization. Dog meat consumption is regarded as a taboo in the West, and such belief is deeply associated with the human-animal relations because dogs were connected to humans as family members.

Dog meat in early history
There were relatively few English records about the early domestication of dogs in Vietnam. One article published in the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology in 2012 found early evidence of dog domestication in Vietnam that may be traced back to 2100 BC in the Neolithic settlement site of An Son. The site is located close to the northern border of Long An Province in the Southern part of Vietnam. It was suggested that on the site the early inhabitants maintained domestic dogs and pigs. The article also indicated that in northern Vietnam, a few domestic dog remains were found in the site Man Bac. Similar to pig domestication, in the abundance of dog remains in the site, marks of butchery were observed indicating that dogs were sources of food for the inhabitants. More remains of dogs were found in the site than the remains of pigs. There was no evidence of special treatment of dogs such as burial that indicates human-dog emotional ties.

Dog meat and cultural beliefs

Spiritual worship
The cultural beliefs about dogs are usually connected to the role that dogs played in the household and the emotional connections dogs and human-built. Cultural beliefs also shape the tradition of consuming dog meat.

Dogs are generally used as safeguards for the household. However, they were treated with humble position. The early nineteenth century poem "The Quarrel of the Six Beasts" gave a glimpse of dog's position through its food. In the poem, the animals were arguing about which animal is most useful by comparing their job and the food they eat. Dog in the story claimed that it sometimes gets "crumbs of rice and dregs of soup" from the master, but he often eats low-prestige food such as "rotten taro and wormy yam." In fact, in the Intage Vietnam's report about pet care, 9% of the populations retained this practice of feeding dogs with leftovers in 2019.

The guarding role of dogs transited into worshiping of them. The Vietnamese believed that placing stone dogs in front of pagodas and houses will drive away ghosts and devils. For example, in Hanoi, dogs were worshiped in the Puppy Temple that may date back to 1010.

The worship of dogs has also been popular among ethnic minorities. The Tay ethnic people would counterbalance the bad Feng Shui in the house by placing a stone dog in the front dog. It is believed that sculptures of the dog process blessings. The stone dogs are also connected to the scared creature nghê, the lion whelp. For Dao ethnic people in the mountain, they have the belief that they were the decedents from a dog god, Panhu. This made dog meat forbidden in their culture.

For other Vietnamese populations, the sacred power of dogs made dog meat a special dish on particular occasions. Eating dog meat after a bad thing meant "kicking" the bad luck away and this contributed to longevity. The dish became a custom in funerals, death anniversaries, and weddings. Dogs were also sacrificed in rituals in the north in order to worship ancestors or to induce rain. Beyond those special occasions, timing for eating dog meat is also associated with strong beliefs. Dog meat is usually consumed by the end of the lunar month or lunar year, eating at the wrong time was believed by Vietnamese to bring the opposite effect of misfortune. This might be associated with one of the Vietnamese folktales that a dog with white fur and nose red as blood is the embodiment of a demon. The demon returned to its original shape in the full moon, which was the time at middle of the lunar month.

Masculinity
Dog meat was linked to Vietnamese masculinity by its perceived medicinal quality to improve sexual performance. The linkage was also seen in the spaces where dog meat is consumed. Day to day consumption of dog meat in Hoi An, central Vietnam, usually occurs in local liquor shops, Quan Nhau. Some of the Quan Nhau upgraded to "garden" restaurant. While the Quan Nhau was exclusive for male customers only, the latter form of "garden" restaurant also attracts a majority of male customers. There masculine spaces were where men recharge and boost their masculinity and display and perform it with the female staff who provided sexual services.

This connection can also be analyzed in the framework of Confucianism. Confucianism has profound influence in defining the proper genders roles in Vietnam, in which males go out and socialize in dog meat restaurants while women remain inferior and remain in the domestic space. Additionally, dog-consuming practices can be seen in many east Asian Nations which was influenced by Confucianism. Dog meat was also nicknamed as "Confucius meat" because Confucius himself enjoyed dog meat. Beyond Vietnam, in South Korea, people tried to escape from the social pressure from the moral values of Confucianism by consuming dog meat.

Political affiliation
According to Confucianism values, an ideal man should be educated, knowledgeable and politically involved. This is when dog eating, a popular practice in Confucian society, converged with the interest of political engagement. The dog meat tradition persisted as a way of participation or rejecting the dominant political ideology. Through conducted interviews with the Vietnamese it was explained that as many of the new middle class benefited from the contact of the ruling elite and the government, they are "obligated to express loyalty and commitment" toward the Northern regime through accepting a new culinary practice from the north and rejects the local moral standards. This is closely related to the Confucian ideas of obedience and loyalty in the social hierarchy.

Of course, this transforming culinary practice is not always welcomed without doubts. While Vietnamese enjoyed dog meat dishes, they are acutely aware of the problems associated with violence, crime, drunkenness, and illicit sex which made the practices immoral and shameful among the Vietnamese community. Furthermore, showing loyalty by incorporating the dining practice of the north regime didn't indicate that the middle class fully supported the regime.

Dog meat and transitions

Increased appetite for wild meat
After recovering from Asian Financial Crises from 1997, 2004 was a point which the Vietnamese economy returned to rapid growth, with the continued influx of foreign direct investment.

In reality, however, the appetite for dog and exotic meat increased together with the expansion of the general meat consumption. This trend corresponded with the rising popularity of dog meat restaurants in Hoi An. First, the number of dog meat restaurants increased. By 1999, only a couple of places served dog meat, but by 2004 there are "dozens of eating venues throughout the town." Second, the visibility of those restaurant increased. As for 1999, it was mentioned that, dog meat restaurants were rather "in the maze of alleys" or "outside the town." In addition, instead of writing "Thit Cho" on the sign, a more obscure expression "Thit Cay" was used. In 2004, more restaurants are visible with the name "Thit Cho."

There was an interconnection between dog meat consumption and wild meat consumption, both view as exotic. The increase of appetite for wild meat is also tied with market development connected to the bonds of business partnerships.

While rich people may show their high social status by serving expensive types of wild meat, others served expensive wild meat to the guest as means of showing respect for business cooperation. This form of "diplomacy" then connects to the likelihood of success in the business partnership. In this way, wild meat consumption actually constructed a social norm tangled with business culture and partnership.

A similar type of social protocol of showing respect is seen in South Korean dog meat consumption, in which one tried to impress and show respect to a prestigious guest by offering the meat of one's own pet dog.

Expanding pet market

Counter arguing the case of capitalist development and the increase in the demand of dog meat, it is shown that capitalism also brought in the demand of dog not as a source of food but as a source of companionship.

In the book chapter "An Appetite for Dogs: Consuming and loving Them in Vietnam" Dr. Anthony, a scientist for animal behavior and human-animal interaction in Australia, claimed that capitalist development also brought about breakthroughs in dog eating traditions.

With the first opening of a commercial pet shop in Ho Chi Minh City in 2006, within 8 years, the shops expanded in numbers and availability in different cities. Furthermore, luxurious grooming service was offered to pet owners in the cities.

Being family-based labor of love, Vietnamese pet retailers ran a cash-based business which makes analysis on the industry harder. Although not so much scholarly analysis has focused on the potential influence of expanding pet care industry on the dog consumption tradition, there is enough evidence to indicate that the market is on the rise.

This change might be brought by the increasingly important concept of companion animals. In fact, in the article of Rosen a New York-based journalist, "To Eat Dog, or Not to Eat Dog. What Vietnam's popular imitation-canine dish says about how food taboos change", interview conducted with the clinic owner in Vietnam is showing the pet owners' increased willingness to spend more money on their pets.

Capitalist developments was giving people more economic capacity and would also lead to an increase in the interaction with pets, strengthening the human-animal relations. Statistic provided by Dr. Anthony suggested that some part of the population in the south are supportive toward a ban on the consumption of dog meat. The practice of refusing to eat dog meat as a pet owner is also frequently observed.

Legal status

Connecting to the previous section, Vietnamese pet owners together with activists from other nations are advocating for legalizing the ban of dog meat. The SoiDog foundation is collecting 1.5 million signatures for a petition of dog meat ban to the Communist Party of Vietnam. In the letter, China's progress on forbidding the trade of cat, dog and wildlife meat was mentioned. Besides emotional appeals, public health concerns over diseases and the nation's image of a civilized and modernized nation were being highlighted.

In French Indochina, the slaughtering and eating of dog meat was once banned in the late 19th century. However, dog meat had returned to the table since the French left.

The current legislation provided pet owner some protection over pet theft. In July 2016, a law was amended to enable prosecutions against thieves whose crimes cause social disorder.

The amendment meant that the theft of even a single dog could result in a jail sentence. For years, criminals had stolen dogs from homes with near immunity as the dogs were considered to have too little financial value to bring a prosecution.

More recently, in 2018, a statement was issued by the director of Hanoi Department of Animal Health stating that raising public awareness of the risks of dog meat consumption needed to be strengthened to discourage the consumption of dog meat, and that the dog meat trade would be eliminated from the city's central 21 districts by 2021. In 2019, the Food Safety Management Board in Ho Chi Minh City urged people to stop consuming dog meat. Yet, there wasn't any law issue to ban the dog meat trade.

Controversy and debate
The consumption of dog meat and exotic meat has been condemned by the West as being "backward" and "archaic." Animal rights have become an increasingly important parameter in assessing a nation's development and progress. To further explain, a well-developed, civilized nation is expected to prohibit forms of animal abuse such as consumption of dog and wild meat. It is also interpreted by many activists that with the process of globalization and economic development, Asian countries should adopt to this "global" standard. For example, NGOs such as four paws promoted that the globalized developments such as transnational tourism has given pressure for a shift of the tradition in Vietnam. There is also hope that Asians who received western education will foster changes in Vietnam.
In the case of Vietnam War, over 5000 dogs were brought to Vietnam to serve as guard dogs for Americans. Statistics show that less than 200 dogs were able to make their way back to the United States. Working dogs were largely abandoned and considered to be "surplus equipment."

Three stories told simultaneous in ninety minutes of real time: a Republican Senator who's a presidential hopeful gives an hour-long interview to a skeptical television reporter, detailing a strategy for victory in Afghanistan; two special forces ambushed on an Afghani ridge await rescue as Taliban forces close in; a poli-sci professor at a California college invites a promising student to re-engage. Decisions press upon the reporter, the student, and the soldiers.

The Politics of War
"Lions for Lambs" follows three interconnected storylines that all revolve around politics. More narrowly they revolve around the politics of war, and more specifically still: the war in Afghanistan. At the time of the release of this movie the U. S. had been in Afghanistan for about five years and only now, roughly twenty years after storming Afghanistan to punish the Taliban for their role in 9/11, has the U. S. decided to bring their last troops home.
The three storylines "Lambs" followed were 1.) Professor Stephen Malley (Robert Redford) and one of his students (Andrew Garfield) at a university somewhere in California. 2.) Ernest Rodriguez (Michael Pena) and Arian Finch (Derek Luke) who were also students of Prof. Malley's before deciding to enlist in the army. 3.) Republican Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise) and reporter Janine Roth (Meryl Streep) who were ardently discussing the U. S.'s new strategy for ending the war for good which just so happen to involve Rodriguez and Finch.
There you have it. You have American politics, with fighting being a part of it, being discussed in broader more philosophical terms in the professor's office. You have an actual politician discussing how to bring an end to the war in Afghanistan. And you have actual soldiers fighting the war in Afghanistan. It all made for some interesting and even somewhat passionate arguments, but that's where it stopped. "Lambs" seems to have been made to make its viewers think and come to their own conclusion about who or what was right and wrong. I can appreciate that even if I wasn't the biggest fan of the topic.

"Killing people is helping people?"
LIONS FOR LAMBS is a very intelligent and timely film that addresses what we are doing in Afghanistan and our American policy in handling the issues of the Middle East played out via tremendous performances from Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise and Robert Redford, with a strong cast of supporting actors. Watching Meryl Streep as a Journalist interact with Tom Cruise on the screen and the strong dialog that plays between them is a wonderful piece of writing from Matthew Michael Carnahan as they discuss the issues of winning the war in Afghanistan. And, as I am reading THE RACE from Richard North Patterson, seeing the Tom Cruise character play to a Journalist to get his story out is another act of political positioning.
Robert Redford as the Professor and his student, Mr. SC frat boy, discuss what he should do with his life, and hearing about the story of his two students who came before him, plays out perfectly with what is important to accomplish in America today as a young man and woman. The last scene in the film with the young man really questioning his career path is a great one. LIONS FOR LAMBS deserves a large audience, but it may play out as just another political story dealing with Afghanistan and Iraq, and it really deserves the attention and the lessons which the film delivers. As we approach Veterans Day 2007, I will remember the scenes in the Afghan mountains and think of our men and women in uniform attempt to win a war of justice...or, in the end, will they be just LAMBS FOR LIONS?
High minded message movie
Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise) is an up and coming Republican Senator and he's giving an hour long interview to reporter Janine Roth (Meryl Streep). In Afghanistan, special forces Ernest Rodriguez (Michael Peña) and Arian Finch (Derek Luke) fell out of their helicopter after being attacked. Both stories are alluding to Iranian assistance to the Taliban. Also poli-sci Professor Stephen Malley (Robert Redford) is trying to get apathetic student Todd Hayes (Andrew Garfield) to try harder. He tells the story of Ernie and Ari.
The three stories don't flow that well together. The only compelling story is to wonder what happened to Ernie and Ari. They are definitely trying to make a message movie. Two of the three stories are very static taking place in a room. The message is high minded and tiresome. The interview feels like a tired Sunday morning political discussion. The professor and student part feels a little more interesting. This whole exercise feels manufactured after watching a lot of cable news or maybe too many encounters with apathetic young people.

Q: ElasticSearch: How to search on different fields that are not related that are arrays of objects I want to search on different fields that are not related that are arrays of objects. I cannot find out how.
Given the following mapping and data entry: I want to give the user the ability to search all possible fields in any combination. The user would use a form with a keyword input, exclude keyword input, date ranges and multi-select drop down lists. What does that query look like? I have included a couple of my failed queries and filters below the data entry.

Query
For example I have success with the following query, but it's not accurate on a large data set of 100k to 10M data entries (not flowers and MANY fields). I am searching on multiple fields that have multiple exact value matches while wanting to have a relevance score for each entry. The option for "minimum_should_match" does not make sense when I want flowers that "petal.color" are "purple", "pink" and/or "white" as well as searching against two more fields that are lists like "petals" or strings like "type". I could set "minimum_should_match" equal to two, but then flowers with multiple "petal.color" will meet that requirement and I will get "type" that are not "Perennial" or "Annual" such as "Biennials". I looked into filter and have that as my next example.

        "bool" : {
            "must" : [

Query using Query/Filter
The following is attempting to combine query and filter to use a mix of and/or filters. I feel the issue is on "or" "petals.color" where "petals.color" is a list of colors and not an exact value.
Another option is a permutation list of petals.color to solve the "or" issue (i.e. purple + pink + white, purple + pink, purple + white, pink + white, purple, pink, white.) That would get exhaustive on a list that can have hundreds of possible values and you're searching for a subset of them. Such as a list of countries and your matching only countries of a specific continent.
Another option is an inverse selection of "petals.color" and put in "bool" "must_not". This is less work than the permutation list as elasticsearch supports aggregates.

{
    "query" : {
        "filtered" : {
            "query" : {
                "bool" : {
                     "must" : [
                        {
                            "multi_match":{

The Storm Sessions is the latest glowing proof that Elkhorn are one of the most durable and adventurous platforms of the new guitar age. Snowed in with their friend Turner Williams (Ramble Tamble, Guardian Alien) on the night of an emotionally important gig, the duo-plus-one turned it into a cathartic blizzard-bound collaboration and rumination — and a new step for Elkhorn.
A powerful turn outside the duo's comfort zone, The Storm Sessions consists of two side-long improvisations by guitarists Jesse Sheppard (12-string acoustic) and Drew Gardner (6-string electric) along with Turner's rare and lovely vibrations (electric bouzouki on one side, shahi baaja on the flip). No strangers to improvisation or collaboration, The Storm Sessions is their most spontaneous studio work yet, and perhaps their most beautifully flowing.
Formed by old friends Jesse Sheppard and Drew Gardner in 2013 and naming themselves "Elkhorn" the following year, it's the pair's telepathic bond that has made them so much more than two dudes with guitars. With Sheppard's rigorous 12-string acting like a meditative rhythm section for Gardner's textured flights, the duo's third voice emerges into a space that often borders on soulful cosmic jazz.
Committed collaborators and community organizers in their vibrational corner of the world, both members of the band are deep students of the music. In 2018, Sheppard organized The 1000 Incarnations of the Rose, an already historic three-day festival in Takoma Park, Maryland–John Fahey's hometown–that showcased generations of wide-eared guitarists. Ambassadors to an often-hidden creative lineage as well as an often-hidden network of modern players, Elkhorn have hewn to the most sage advice Timothy Leary ever proclaimed: Find the others.
Mark Fosson (who played the 1000 Incarnations of the Rose) was one such Other, forming a cross-generational bond with Sheppard. Scheduled to play a New York show with Elkhorn in late 2018, the 68-year-old Fosson fell ill and passed away. A rescheduled performance featuring Williams (another Other) turned into the extended session in Gardner's home studio in Harlem.
The Storm Sessions is filled with flickering textures that might create warmth on a cold day, or a bubble of human atmosphere inside a dreary dystopian vacuum, no matter the weather outside. Their sixth full-length in five years, Elkhorn are both well into their journey and have only just begun.

Mexican regulator approves Pemex oil refinery construction, with environmental conditions
The environmental regulator for Mexico's oil industry said on Monday it had approved the construction of a refinery for state oil company Pemex, but imposed conditions to mitigate the environmental impact of the $8 billion project.
Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has said the facility planned for the Gulf Coast port of Dos Bocas in his home state of Tabasco would help Mexico wean itself off its growing reliance on fuel imports, one of his signature campaign pledges.
Environmental regulator ASEA approved the project after reviewing a report prepared by Pemex that offered a mostly positive environmental assessment of the refinery's construction despite predicting a "severe" impact on air quality.
ASEA said Pemex, while building the project, must monitor local water quality, rescue and relocate affected wildlife and protect a mangrove forest, among other mitigation measures.
Slated for completion by 2022, the refinery is expected to process up to 340,000 barrels per day of heavy crude oil.
Lopez Obrador tapped the oil company to oversee the project after deeming bids from engineering groups were too expensive, putting more pressure on Pemex, the world's most indebted oil company that has struggled to reverse declining output.
However, the project has been repeatedly criticized by investors and ratings agencies due to concerns it will divert funds away from Pemex's more profitable exploration and production business.
Ratings agency Moody's has said the new refinery could exceed the budget by $2 billion to $4 billion due to the government's "limited know-how" on such projects.


The Jr. Red Devils Flag Football Club has been in operation for almost 20 years to benefit its youth participants who are boys and girls in grades 2-12. Interested players have the opportunity to learn and enjoy the sport of football through instructional play and full participation at the Ridge High School turf (Lee) field on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6-9pm.
The first date, September 4, 2019, will be a practice and skills clinic from 6 pm - 8:15 pm.
Every child will get equal playing time and be encouraged to play any position they want. We know young players dislike "practice" so we only have games and we teach during this time. The more fun they have, the more they will learn.
We are supporters of the Ridge Sports Foundation, PEC, The Katie King Foundation and Heartworks.
Our open format allows for children of all skill levels to enjoy the game of football. including regular Challenger games where children with special needs can buddy-up with a peer or high school football player.
Welcome to the Jr Red Devils Flag Football team. Below is some information about the upcoming season.
Online registration will open soon. Please complete the form under the Registration tab. In addition to credit card, online payment is now available via PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account to complete the online payment process. No work bond is required.
While we are based in Basking Ridge, NJ, players from surrounding towns are welcome and do participate in our program each year.
All games will be played on the Ridge Turf field on Mondays and Wednesdays. Times will differ on Mon and Wed to accommodate conflicts with religious studies. Updates to the schedule may happen and will be communicated via email blast and social media.
As players enter the high school field area, there is a board posted which lists the team rosters for that night, the coaches, the field assignments and the jersey color (silver or green) for each team. Our jerseys are reversible, so your child's team color may change each week. The team rosters change every week, so your child will play with different teammates every week throughout the season. If players arrive late, they will be placed on any team in order to even out the sides. To minimize confusion for your child, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your game.
The games last 60 minutes, including a five-minute halftime. Everyone plays every game. If you can't make a game, no problem, we will see you next time. With no team standings, or even team names, we have had good success in maintaining fair play and engaging games.
Uniforms consist of a shirt, flag belt, hat, and bag. Players MUST provide their own mouth guard.
Shoes can be sneakers or cleats - YOUR CHOICE.
You will receive an email regarding your uniform pickup dates.
Registration information, forms, and payment options are available under the Registration tab.
Here is where you will find everything needed to get started coaching the kids during the games. We will be adding information throughout the season.

The Jr. Red Devils League is run entirely by volunteers, and we are actively seeking new volunteers to help. Previous football experience is definitely not needed or required. If your child will be in this league for the next two years or more, we need your help. If you have computer skills, communication skills, people skills, or just like seeing kids enjoy football, please consider joining us this fall. The success of this league depends solely on volunteers; we really could use your help. If you have questions or are interested in joining, please contact us at: info@jrreddevilsflagfootball.com.

Here you'll find travel reports about Baden-Württemberg Region. Discover travel destinations in Germany of travelers writing a travel blog on FindPenguins.
Wir starten ja nun mit einer Woche delay, da Tina's Zähne kurz vor unserem ursprünglich geplanten Abflug meinten sie brauchen nochmal eine Zahn-OP.
Alles liegt hier schon seit Wochen gepackt herum und die Fahrräder sind bestimmt schon in die Kartons eingewachsen😉.
Guten Flug und schöne Tage wünschen wir Euch.
So where to stay in the Black Forest..there are several parts of the trip where our research was limited, and this was one of them. We realise that when I write Black Forest on the itinerary, we could've done with a bit more of a pointer...it's pretty huge.
Anyway, after the 1st unsuccessful stop in an eerily quiet little village, we chance upon an absolute gem. A wonderful campsite in Hoffen, and although it's pricey, it has extras!!! A lovely play park, free WiFi, and free train journeys to neighbouring towns.
We decide Bad Wildbad sounds like a cool place to visit, and after a lot of faffing (ahem!) we manage to make the train, only to arrive and realise we've left the pushchair behind...lucky it was free, back on we get and return with said pushchair to the little alpine town & take a trip up the mountain.
Somersberg was well worth a visit with a great treetop walk, views of the bikers downhilling and a ginormous slide!! Amelia practised saying she was 6 the whole way up!!
We decide to make our first 2 night stop!! Lovely to have a day with no driving, and the kids enjoyed the extra time in the park!
We visit a little lake/boat town, find another incredibly engineered play park, and then find a spot to free camp - and as luck would have, another day, another skate park!
Pip says was the big twirly slide fun?
After a quick cycle tour around Brugges, including some delish food from the market, we manage to turn a 3hr journey into 5 on our midway stop to Heidelberg, and head to a campsite at Lacher See...lovely to have space for the little ones to run free, although the sheer drop into the lake was a bit hairy.
A bit of rain, and we have to skimp on electricity here for fear of being charged a small fortune (who knows how much 4kw hours equals in Moho usage?!?!) so we decide to cook the pasta in the shower block.... free electricity!
Anyway, onto Heidelberg, where we free camp & Amelia and daddy (already kicking himself he didn't have the weight limit in the Moho for a four wheeled toy) are in luck..right next to a skate park.
After a mini tour to try and find this famous castle, we stop for beer and pizza and decide the cloud is too low, we'll try again tomorrow. Some great parks on the way home for the kids!
Another quick cycle tour in the morning and we realise that we could see the castle all along...at this point I'll point out that we are both going old school with phones - just photos and texts to save data for work use!! It's quite refreshing looking at actual maps in towns and tourist info spots (and taking one or two wrong turns).
Years ago, a friend of mine (the super talented Northamptonshire based composer and multi instrumentalist Philip Bass) said to me, "The symphony orchestra is one of our greatest inventions".
It certainly is, and this tour has seen two remarkable groups of people sing and play some very difficult music amazingly well.
We've been faced with numerous challenges along the way - just one of them being the need to lift the harp up a lengthy staircase in the Archbishop's Palace. Recognising our need for help, a team of student volunteers immediately assembled to help lift our heavy and valuable harp so carefully, it was as if as if they had paid for it themselves.
I jumped at the chance to be a part of this tour, and I'm so glad I did. The team spirit across the entire group of young people and teachers has made this tour an absolute pleasure. A huge thank you to all of the students and staff for all of the unforgettable musical moments from our amazing choir and symphony orchestra. The standing ovations at our concerts say it all.
Vicky still had a few things on her 'list of things to do in Germany' and one was to visit the Thermal Baths at Bad Wilbad. The van was too high to park in the baths' multistorey carpark so we left the van at a campervan parking place about a mile away and headed in through the park. The walk was beautiful with the autumnal trees and a rapidly flowing peaty river that had cut a steep gorge through the valley.
Palais Thermal contained some of the oldest thermal baths in Europe. The red sandstone building, whilst attractive, didn't draw undue attention when looking at it from the outside. However, the inside was stunning. Mosaic tiled floors led the way through arched doorways into high roofed chambers containing different baths. There were smaller ones for up to about 4 people, medium and larger ones about the size of a learner pool at a leisure centre. Beautiful mosaic wall tiles lined the lower sections of wall, stone pillars rose up from the water, inset arches framed wall paintings and gorgeous stained glass windows whose colours sometines shone on the opposite walls. In the larger baths white stone statues featured in the centre and you could lie back in the warm water and study the stained glass ceilings.
We were glad to be visiting when we did as there were very few people there and at one point we were the only ones in the main pool with the statue of Venus at its centre.
The original building had been added to and the complex had a further 2 floors of saunas, plunge pools, showers, swimming pools and an ice machine for you to cool yourself down. On the 2nd floor, you could sit in a sauna or swim in the outdoor pool and have views over Bad Wilbad and the funicular railway trams making their way slowly up and down the autumnal hill opposite.
This isn't normally the sort of thing we are drawn to do but one of the aims of our travels is to experience things we wouldn't have otherwise and at €21.50 each for 4 hours it was accessible and something we won't forget. We even got into spirit of indulgence and had had a glass of prosecco whilst lying back on wicker loungers in the opulent 'Moorish Hall' lit by around 100 square metres of stained glass ceiling.
We stayed the night about 70km away in Nurtingen.
You were one of the people we thought might particularly enjoy this Cath!
Nurtingen is a handy stopover 15 minutes away from the garage. It costs €5 a night but we used a voucher giving us 2 nights for the price of 1.
For about a month now there has been roadside pumpkin stalls with honesty boxes. We've been meaning to buy one to make soup but many have been difficult to stop at for the van so we were happy to find one that was easy to pull in at along the way!

SmartFoxServer 2X introduces support for the UDP protocol for all those client technologies that support it. This includes Unity, Adobe AIR 2.0 for Flash developers and many more.
The UDP protocol is an unrealiable network protocol that does not guarantee delivery and ordering of the packets. If you want to learn more check this entry from Wikipedia. UDP can be useful when sending fast stream of packets to and from the server in real-time type games, typically for position/transformation updates etc.
Under the SFS2X platform the developer can send any Extension call using UDP, although the default protocol used is TCP.
Even if technically the UDP protocol does not use a persistent connection (like in TCP) we usually refer to a Datagram socket (or channel) as a form of connection between the two endpoints. In order for a client to send and receive UDP data it will need to initialize his Datagram channel before any transmission is possible. This is done by calling the initUDP() method available on the client side.
In order to get started with UDP on SmartFoxServer 2X we first need to enable a UDP port on the server that will be used for the communication. By default SFS2X listens exclusively on localhost:9933 using the TCP protocol. You can launch the AdminTool, choose the Server Configurator module and add a new connector that listens for UDP data. An example would be adding a new socket listener for UDP over port 9933.
On the client side you will just need to call the initUPD() method once and handle the response event. This can be done at any moment in your code after having logged in a Zone. In general we would highly recommend to do it exactly in your login handler.
Before running the application make sure to review the settings in your sfs-config.xml file.
Adobe's support for UDP is in fact only available for standalone applications based on the AIR runtime (version 2.0 and higher) while no support is provided for Flash and Flex applications running in the browser.
In order to be able to support all the Adobe technologies with a single API package we introduced the AirUDPManager class which can be instantiated (exclusively when using the AIR SDK) and passed to the initUDP() method.

90% of children with disabilities,
worldwide, do not attend school.
A poverty free and just world where all children and their communities have equal opportunity and access to develop their full potential.
COVID 19 outbreak came to light in December 2019 in China and was declared a pandemic by WHO. Within no time, the deadly virus created an "unreal" and fear filled situation all over the world. In just a few months of 2020, the entire human race was confronted with its reality and fragility and the world was grappling with the situation, trying to make every possible effort to restrict the spread of the contagious virus.
While the virus itself caused lethal harm to the persons who contracted it, the pandemic brought with it stress, anxiety, emotional and neurological problems, causing mood changes and altering normal living conditions among the non-patients, families and children. The implications of this continue to be seen world over.
The collaborative efforts of various network members and organisations made it possible to reach out to a large number of COVID affected families. Awareness regarding COVID 19 prevention was spread through WhatsApp and social media. Relevant content from various Government sources and other organisations was widely shared and disbursed. KHW produced special awareness video and animations which were again widely shared through its website and other social media mediums.
In partnership with Viva India, an International organisation working with children, the phone mentoring tool was used by 25 mentors to reach out to more than 250 families and children in Dehradun. Psycho-social counseling and mentoring helped them to cope with fear, loss and grief during this difficult period.
DPS-Kandoli was set up by KHW India with the distinct purpose of providing access to quality education in a safe, conducive environment to children who would otherwise be denied such a privilege.
Samvedna
Samvedna's mission is to walk alongside the persons with disability respecting their individuality, their abilities and aspirations and ensuring equal opportunity, justice and a productive, fulfilling and happy life.
This program provides for professional training or college education of mostly, but not exclusively, sponsored children. Many of the young individuals being helped would otherwise not have had access to the trainings they are presently undergoing.

GrowthSpotter – Zenodro Homes prepping for more vacation townhomes in Four Corners
By Jonathan Beach
Zenodro Homes is seeking a construction permit to begin its fourth phase of townhomes in the Silver Creek resort in the Four Corners market of Lake County.
Tranquility Townhomes, as the project is being called, would add 112 more units next to the existing phases containing 356 units. There will be 28 buildings with four units in each one.
Zenodro applied this month for an environmental resource permit from the St. Johns River Water Management District. Of the 25.12 acres of land, 9.13 acres are wetlands. The developer would be required to maintain 25% open space, or 6.28 acres.
Lusant Ordonez, CEO of Zenodro Homes, said 98% of the wetlands on the property will be protected. The only impact is for a road placement in a small area, he said.
"We try to incorporate nature, rather than clear-cutting everything and replacing it with a bunch of skinny trees," Ordonez said. That is better for the environment and serves as a good marketing point, he said. "When you drive in, it's beautiful. It is mature landscaping."
Zenodro Homes took control of the 145 acres in the U.S. Hwy 27 corridor around 2008. In all, the builder will construct six phases of townhomes on its property for a total of between 674 and 692 units, depending on what Lake County approves, Ordonez said.
These are luxury townhomes designed with vacationers in mind, Ordonez said. "As the crow flies, we are just 1.3 miles from Disney's new entrance on Western Way, which finishes at Avalon Road. We have already sold over 50% of this project with starting prices at $479,000 and $489,900, depending on which floorplan people choose." There is a premium for conservation views.
One floor plan, called the Orel, is a corner unit with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a splash pool totaling 2,256 square feet. The Asher is a middle unit with three bedrooms, a loft and three bathrooms and is 2,266 square feet.
Each of the six phases on the property Ordonez calls The Dream, will have its own clubhouse with pool, spa, game rooms, a gym and a gathering area.
The first phase on the property was completed in 2020.
"We have been recognized as the standard-bearer for quality in the vacation home space," he said. "We won first place in the Parade of Homes and were the grand prize winners for best built multi-family product in Central Florida, recognized by the Greater Orlando Builders Association."
Ordonez said each unit will have Italian-designed cabinetry and Spanish porcelain tile, top-end appliances and fixtures.
"We do not give any price options," he said. "It is just color selections. The finishes we offer are second to none."
Zenodro is working with Brooks Engineering Inc. out of Tavares for civil engineering, surveyor Grusenmeyer, Scott and Associates out of Orlando and Geoengineer Mike Tannous Engineering Inc. out of Casselberry.
Ordonez said he hopes to have his construction permits within weeks and hopes to begin construction on Tranquility Townhomes some time in the first quarter of 2023.

During its meeting on March 6, 2017, the Irvington Board of Trustees passed Westchester County's first legislative policy protecting undocumented immigrants. Over 50 Irvington citizens attended the meeting. 16 residents spoke in favor of the resolution. Two spoke against it. The resolution was then passed unanimously by Mayor Brian Smith and the four Irvington trustees: Constance Kehoe, Mark Gilliland, Janice Silverberg and Larry Lonky. Their decision was greeted with loud and enthusiastic applause.
The policy ensures that Irvington police will not inquire about individuals' immigration status, will not provide information to ICE unless legally required, and will not honor ICE detainer requests without a warrant except in limited circumstances. Irvington also will not utilize any resources in establishing a federal registry based on race, ethnicity or religion.

Abdullah Shafiq in Pakistan probables for Zimbabwe series
By PCB on Oct 19, 2020
Misbah says Pakistan will not experiment in ODIs as every match counts for ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 direct qualification, his side will play ODIs for the first time in 12 months, and every opponent needs to be respected irrespective of their international ranking
The chief selector and head coach wants to give consistent and extended run to his young T20 squad
"Sarfaraz Ahmed is encouraged to play in Quaid-e-Azam Trophy to remain in contention for New Zealand tour as Rizwan remains our first choice on current form," says Misbah
Shoaib Malik left out to give better chances to players like Abdullah Shafiq, Haider Ali and Khushdil Shah in upcoming T20Is
Hasan Ali and Naseem Shah advised to play Quaid-e-Azam Trophy to prove fitness
Urdu version of the media release attached here
Lahore, 19 October 2020: Head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq today named 22 probables for the ODI and T20I series against Zimbabwe, insisting he has opted for experience in the 50-over matches and provided extended run to the youngsters in the T20I format.
Pakistan have not played ODIs since the home series against Sri Lanka 12 months ago and the Rawalpindi matches will be part of ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League from which the seven top-ranked sides, apart from hosts India, will qualify directly for the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023.
For the Lahore T20Is, the selectors have preferred continuity and consistency, while acknowledging the just concluded National T20 Cup had provided some exciting talent, which will be considered for the Pakistan and Shaheens' next month tour to New Zealand and early next year's home T20Is.
The selectors have rewarded Central Punjab's Abdullah Shafiq with a call-up after the 20-year-old former Pakistan U19 batsman finished as the seventh most successful batsman in the National T20 Cup with 358 runs with a strike-rate of over 133. Abdullah scored a century on his T20 debut, becoming only the second player in history to make a century on both first-class and T20 debuts.
Shoaib Malik, who was player of the final, has made way for Abdullah Shafiq, while Rohail Nazir has been named as Mohammad Rizwan's back-up wicketkeeper. Sarfaraz Ahmed, who was part of the squad for the England tour, has been encouraged to feature in the first-class Quaid-e-Azam Trophy, starting 25 October, so that he rediscovers better form ahead of the New Zealand tour.
Fast bowlers Hasan Ali and Naseem Shah were not considered for selection as they are recovering from injuries, but have been advised to play in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy to prove their fitness before they are considered for selection.
Probables:
Batsmen - Abdullah Shafiq, Abid Ali, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Haris Sohail, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imam-ul-Haq, Khushdil Shah and Mohammad Hafeez
Wicketkeepers - Mohammad Rizwan and Rohail Nazir
Spinners - Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Usman Qadir and Zafar Gohar
Fast bowlers - Faheem Ashraf, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Hasnain, Musa Khan, Shaheen Shah and Wahab Riaz
Pakistan head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq: "The National T20 Cup saw some outstanding individual performances. A few leading performers may feel disappointed that they have been unable to break into the squad. But, I want to reassure them that they will remain in consideration for the New Zealand tour and early next year's home series. All they now need to do is to carry those impressive run of forms in the upcoming domestic competitions.
"Furthermore, the present T20I squad already comprises youngsters who have played very few matches. As such, it is logical and sensible that we give them the support and confidence by providing them extended runs so that they can show what they are capable of at the highest level and cement their places for future assignments.
"We have resisted the temptation of experimenting in the ODIs for three simple reasons. Firstly, we cannot afford to be complacent and have to respect each and every opponent irrespective of their strength or international ranking. Secondly, every ODI counts as it leads towards automatic qualification for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, and thirdly, we have not played any ODI cricket in the past 12 months.
"Abdullah Shafiq has been rewarded for his tremendous potential and performance. He has been identified as a future prospect and, therefore, drafted into the squad as part of his development.
"Seniors like Shoaib Malik and Sarfaraz Ahmed have not been picked for this series, but I want to categorically state that their careers are not over by any means as performance remains the only criterion for selection. These are strategic decisions as Shoaib's absence will provide players like Abdullah Shafiq, Haider Ali and Khushdil Shah better chances of featuring in the upcoming matches.
"We have followed the same philosophy while leaving out Mohammad Amir and Usman Shinwari so that bowlers like Mohammad Hasnain, Musa Khan and Haris Rauf can get an extended run.
"Mohammad Hafeez and Wahab Riaz provide us that useful experience in the batting and bowling respectively, that will benefit the youngsters.
"Similarly, not many will disagree that on present form, Mohammad Rizwan is the first-choice wicketkeeper in both the white-ball formats. With an eye on future and as part of the succession plan, Rohail Nazir has been chosen as Rizwan's back-up wicketkeeper. Instead of Sarfaraz sitting on the substitute bench, it makes sense that he plays in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy so that he retains his fitness and rediscovers form for the tour for the longer and more demanding tour of New Zealand."
The probables will assemble in Lahore on 21 October for Covid-19 testing and after observing a five-day isolation period, during which they will play two 50-over matches at the Gaddafi Stadium, will travel to Rawalpindi on Monday, 26 October.
The probables for three T20Is will be shortlisted after the ODIs and players unlikely to feature in them will be advised to play in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy third round matches, which will commence from 6 November.
Pakistan probables for ODIs and T20Is:
Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan (vice-captain), Abdullah Shafiq, Abid Ali, Faheem Ashraf, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Haris Rauf, Haris Sohail, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Imam-ul-Haq, Khushdil Shah, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Hasnain, Mohammad Rizwan, Musa Khan, Rohail Nazir, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Usman Qadir, Wahab Riaz and Zafar Gohar
