A unified interpretation of Hund's first and second rules for 2p (C, N, O) and 3p (Si, P, S) atoms is given by Hartree-Fock (HF) and multiconfiguration Hartree-Fock (MCHF) methods. Both methods exactly satisfy the virial theorem, in principle, which enables one to analyze individual components of the total energy E (=T+ Ven + Vee), where T, Ven, and Vee are the kinetic, the electron-nucleus attraction, and the electron-electron repulsion energies, respectively. The correct interpretation for each of the two rules can only be achieved under the condition of the virial theorem 2T+V=0 by investigating how Ven and Vee interplay to attain the lower total potential energy V (= Ven + V ee). The stabilization of the more stable states for all the 2p and 3p atoms is ascribed to a greater Ven that is caused by contraction of the valence orbitals accompanied with slight expansion of the core orbitals. The contraction of the valence orbitals for the two rules is a consequence of reducing the Hartree screening of the nucleus at short interelectronic distances. The reduced screening in the first rule is due to a greater amount of Fermi hole contributions in the state with the highest total spin-angular momentum S. The reduced screening in the second rule is due to the fact that two valence electrons are more likely to be on opposite sides of the nucleus in the state with the highest total orbital-angular momentum L. For each of the two rules, the inclusion of correlation does not qualitatively change the HF interpretation, but HF overestimates the energy difference ΔE between two levels being compared. The magnitude of the correlation energy is significantly larger for the lower L states than for the higher L states since two valence electrons in the lower L states are less likely to be on opposite sides of the nucleus. The MCHF evaluation of ΔE is in excellent agreement with experiment. The present HF and MCHF calculations demonstrate the above statements that were originally given by Katriel [Theor. Chem. Acta 23, 309 (1972); 26, 163 (1972)]. We have, for the first time, analyzed the correlation-induced changes in the radial density distribution for the excited LS terms of the 2p and 3p atoms as well as for the ground LS term.

Pokemon Let's Go Eevee & Pikachu - Similarities with Pokemon GO
Updated August 28, 2018 by JoeTheBard
Home » Gamescom » Pokemon Let's Go Eevee & Pikachu – Similarities with Pokemon GO
Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee are games that are meant to bridge the gap between Pokemon GO and the more "usual" games in the franchise. And, in my limited time with the game at Gamescom 2018, I came to notice the similarities and differences between the two games. So, I'm going to present you with some of the biggest examples of how these games compare to one another.
Pokemon Let's Go Eevee & Pikachu – Similarities with Pokemon GO
How Similar Are Pokemon Let's Go and Pokemon GO?
Based on my experience with Pokemon Let's Go during Gamescom 2018, my answer would be: similar enough. What exactly do I mean by that? Well, essentially, Let's Go is similar enough to Pokemon GO that you'll quickly feel at home even if you've only ever played Pokemon GO. As for the mechanics that are different, you should be able to pick them up without much trouble. Pokemon Let's Go is a game that is easy for everybody to pick up.
The most familiar thing, in my opinion, is the capture mechanic. It features the same colored circle that shrinks in size that you'll immediately recognize if you've played Pokemon GO. That system is the absolute same. The only difference is that you have to make a throwing motion with the controller instead of swiping on your touchscreen. There are still berries that you can give to the Pokemon you're trying to catch to make it less of a struggle. But, overall, you'll feel right at home when it comes to that. This is where the similarities end, when it comes to the game mechanics. But, trust me, the rest isn't hard at all.
The list of Pokemon that will be available in Let's Go, as I understand it, is going to be the same as in Pokemon Yellow. In other words, it'll be the Kanto region Pokemon, aka those that were in Pokemon GO at the start, before they started adding new ones. So, if you've played Pokemon GO, you'll be familiar with the monsters you'll be able to catch and how they work. You'll also likely know which Pokemon types work best against others, so planning out battles should come fairly naturally. Battles do function differently, which we'll get into right now.
Pokemon Let's Go – Differences from Pokemon GO
One of the most obvious differences is that you won't be moving around the real world. Instead, you're moving around in the world of the game, and you'll see Pokemon just hanging around; they don't only pop up when you approach their location. Another difference is the presence of NPCs. Like in the "normal" Pokemon games, you'll be able to meet a bunch of characters in the overworld; some friendly, some quite less so. Some of them will be very willing to pit their Pokemon against yours. Which leads us to the battles.
The battles are a candidate for the biggest mechanical difference between Pokemon GO and Pokemon Let's Go. I never liked how fights worked in Pokemon GO; it always seems to devolve into manic screen tapping until you win. Well, in Let's Go, you'll be introduced to more typical Pokemon battle mechanics. In short, the game turns into a turn-based brawl. You pick your Pokemon, the enemy picks theirs, and you duke it out. You can swap out Pokemon if it turns out to be necessary. Plus, on top of the attacks your Pokemon has, there are moves like Roar, which everyone seems to have. These don't deal much damage, but they can inflict status effects, like decreased speed.
Also, leveling Pokemon works differently in Let's Go. After you win a fight, every Pokemon you have gets experience points. They gain levels, and they become more powerful. Simple as it gets. No candies or stardust; it's just as classic RPG as it gets.
This is as far as I can go in terms of differences and similarities between Pokemon Let's Go and Pokemon GO, based on my limited time with Let's Go. I'm sure there's more to dive into, but we're going to have to wait until the full game comes out to really feel all the differences. Pokemon Let's Go Eevee and Pikachu are coming out on November 16th on the Nintendo Switch.

AFTER THE BELL: Markets rise after U.S. government strikes deal to avoid shutdown, oil moves up on production cuts
By Troy Landreville
Tuesday, Feb. 12th, 2019
A surge in oil prices helped lift Canada's stock exchange today.
The TSX was up by 73 points with gains in seven of 11 sectors.
While trading among Canadian energy stocks was mixed, the energy sector as a whole was up 1.5 percent.
That's largely because oil jumped 91 cents to $53.32 US a barrel, on the back of OPEC-led production cuts and U.S. sanctions on Venezuelan and Iranian crude.
Today's leading gainers among the index's most heavily traded stocks included Aphria, up eight percent, Advantage Oil and Gas, which shot up 13 percent, and Crescent Point Energy, which rose 5.5 percent.
Meanwhile, a Canadian cannabis producer made waves today, after Aurora Cannabis's reported net revenue surged to $54.2 million in the second quarter. That's a 363 percent increase compared to the previous year. The Edmonton-based company has been dominating the Canadian market, accounting for 20 percent of all consumer sales across the country.
Aurora's stock edged three cents lower to $9.47 a share.
In New York, U.S. markets took flight on news that a tentative deal has been struck on border security funding, a catalyst in avoiding a potential second government over the past two-and-a-half months.
Stocks were also boosted by hopes of progress in U.S./China trade negotiations.
Investors were in a buying mood as the Dow jumped 372 points and the Nasdaq rose 106 points.
The tech heavy Nasdaq climbed 1.4 percent with healthy rises in shares of Netflix, Amazon, and Electric Arts, among others.
Gold and the loonie also increased in value. The Canadian dollar strengthened by 36/100ths of a cent to $0.7552 US while gold was up by $2.00 to $1,311 an ounce.


A treat for all Raspberry lovers! Full leaf black tea, raspberries, flavoring and blackberry leaves. Delicious hot or chilled, the fresh raspberry taste is sure to please! Try with some brown crystal sugar. Indulge your taste buds.
Oh my. In all fairness I can't bring myself to say who sent this to me. They are too kind in every way and the other tea's were fine.
This one, is haunted with the taste of raspberry beets. Not good and sweet beets but canned vegetable soup tasting beets.
I must protest…my tastebuds yelled at me. One cursed.
LOL … I'm now envisioning taste buds yelling and cursing.
Woh!! You mean fired , as in Donald Trump fired? This is serious tea unemployment!
Yes, Fired! And I want to see a Birth Certificate too!

FP7-Achievements that make us proud
24/03/2016 /in News /by Μπούκουρας Κωνσταντίνος
"LOVEFOOD" FP7-Project, in which NCSR "Demokritos" is a partner, was included in EU's Edition "Achievements of FP7: Examples that Make us Proud"
The LOVEFOOD project, coordinated by FORTH (Prof. E. Gizeli, Dept. of Biology, Univ. Crete, and IMBB-FORTH) and realized in collaboration with NCSR "Demokritos" (Institute of Nanoscience & Nanotechnology) and five more European partners, was selected by the Informal Council of European Research and Innovation Ministers (held in Amsterdam on 29/1/2016) and presented in a printed Edition entitled "Achievements of FP7: Examples that make us proud". The EU projects included in this Edition demonstrate the added value of research and innovation for the economy at European, national, and regional level.
The project in which, in addition to FORTH and NCSR "Demokritos" from Greece, five other European partners (Institute Pasteur, Curie Institute, and SENSeOR, from France, Jobst Technologies from Germany, and Univ. of Pardubice from Czech Republic) collaborate combines novel results from the bio-nanotechnology and microfluidics fields with state-of-the-art methods of DNA detection. It targets foodborne bacteria (Salmonella) detection in dairy products, but it is envisioned to find applications in other fields such as clinical diagnostics and environmental monitoring.
The role of NCSR "Demokritos" in the project was the design, fabrication (using state-of-the-art micro/nano engineering), and validation of several microfluidics modules, accommodating bacteria capture and lysis, DNA purification and amplification, all gathered on a credit-card size Lab-on-Chip platform (figure below). As a result of this work, two patent applications were filed, and several articles were published in high impact international journals.

If you have never grown a house plant before and are looking for something that is virtually indestructible, then look no further - as this is probably the toughest and most tolerant house plant you can find. It's a good-looker too, with attractively patterned leaves that don't flop or spread. It's great for tight spaces, or where you want something upright.Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a black plastic pot). They do however make excellent potted plants, and if you wish to pot yours up, we do have a wide range of pots on our website to choose from.
Some of the older leaves of my sansevieria plant DO flop. Younger shoots coming up, otherwise looks healthy. The floppy leaves are causing the plant to unbalance and keel over. Help!
Hello, These leaves are quite fleshy, so the most likely cause of this is too much water. It sounds as though the older leaves may not recover, so I would cut them off, but do keep an eye on the watering and only top it up when the compost gets really quite dry.

MENDOCINO Co., 3/19/18 — The list is out for the 2018 primary ballot and here's who's running for what in Mendocino County. The primary will be held statewide on June 5. All the local races are non-partisan, meaning that candidates do not have to declare party affiliation, and in California we have an open primary, so two people with the most votes in the primary will move on to the general, even if they are of the same party. As is often the case in small counties, Sheriff Thomas Allman and District Attorney David Eyster are both running unopposed for re-election. Lloyd B. Weer the current auditor-controller and Shari Schapmire, the incumbent treasurer-tax collector are also running without opposition, as is Representative Jared Huffman.


The role of the arts in worship has been neglected in the reformed tradition in South Africa. It is an interesting phenomenon that researchers and theologians alike are once again becoming aware of the important relationship that exists between aesthetics and theology, as it has always been, according to church history. This article investigates different opinions on aesthetics in the reformed worship service and argues that it is a valuable tool that must be used in the process of responsible renewal of the worship service.


A common criticism of conventional strategic-planning undertakings is that they run out of steam, and that the truly innovative ideas that come out of the process tend not to get implemented, despite initial energy and enthusiasm. Over the years in our own scenario consulting business, FSG has worked hard to keep a tight focus on implementation. But we recognize that the challenge is real.
There are many reasons why acting on big, important insights is hard. Sometimes moving out on even one big idea feels like too heavy a lift, especially with today's insanely fast business tempo. Or the implied investment is too great at a time of budget-cutting and layoffs. Sometimes vested interests feel threatened and put up roadblocks. Or they co-opt the cool ideas and twist them into something quite different from the original intent of the strategic planners.
There are many other, firm-specific reasons for implementation failure.
One common pitfall – which we've heard reported by companies over and over in our scenario consulting world – is the tendency to assume that momentum will sustain the initial enthusiasm and energy coming out of a planning process. But it rarely works like that, once people are plucked back into their day jobs and have present-day (as opposed to futures) issues to worry about. What a Coast Guard client once called "the tyranny of the present" is indeed a formidable force.
This loss of strategic momentum is captured in the Scenario S Curve image below, in the context of the FSG scenario-planning process. Again, there's a natural tail-off in energy and enthusiasm after the Strategy Workshop, which is the most important step of the FSG scenario process. Sometimes this is because there is no explicit plan to act on the strategy outputs, in which case the project report gets delivered to the senior owner of the effort, but with no explicit expectation that she or he will act on it. And once again, the tyranny of the present takes over. The lost momentum is hard to recover.
It's FSG's view that it is both important and possible to flatten the S curve – that is, to maintain focus and energy on the critical work of implementation, especially as the project team gets pulled back into normal work mode.
The trick is to actively plan the implementation phase well in advance – in the project scoping phase, really. That means budgeting time for the project team to remain at least partially engaged beyond the workshop. But more importantly it means building into the process some kind of decision milestone for senior leadership to evaluate strategic options identified in the workshop process. Here is where leadership must commit to making some decisions about which strategies the organization is prepared to invest in. This is where leadership asserts ownership over a manageable set of strategies it is prepared to champion. Relative to the amount of material coming out of the workshop, the number of strategies actually chosen may be modest. That's fine; it's far better for a firm to act on a small set of meaningful strategies than embrace a large set for which the firm lacks the organizational or financial capacity to adopt. Lower priority strategies can always be revisited and acted upon later.
Even with a modest, manageable set of strategies to implement, the work of the project team is still not done. Implementation teams need to be formed. Subject matter experts need to be recruited to work out the details of implementation processes. Business plans need to be coordinated. Contingencies must be drafted, etc., etc.
So, clearly, there is substantial implementation work that gets underway after the strategy workshop. Without that commitment, implementation success will be elusive. It's our view that even the most compelling, innovative strategies need deliberate and persistent attention, from both project team and senior leadership. If thoughtfully planned and coordinated, the post-workshop implementation activity need not be an undue burden on already busy staff. In fact, the implementation work tends to re-energize the process and greatly heighten the chances of strategic follow-through and ultimate success in the marketplace.
Note: Special thanks to Bob Etris of partner firm Evans Incorporated for sparking the initial thought behind this blog piece.
Regarding your curve, we have discussed this phenomenon before. My thoughts are that someone versed in managing change should be involved starting with kick off. It can be -- may have to be -- someone from outside; a change management expert, maybe ACMP certified (www.acmpglobal.org). His or her function during the research phase is to tutor an inside change manager, one for whom CM is their full time job, not a collateral assignment. During the scenario development phase, the inside CM should be building a small team. That team should be fully engaged in the process and be prepared to carry the momentum of the strategy workshop into the earliest steps of the implementation process: building strong sponsorship and helping guide the team responsible for turning strategy into action. That includes developing the clear vision of the future state, the steps to get there, who is responsible for those steps, and how success will be measured and monitored. By far the biggest contributor to successful change is top leadership commitment and engagement. Of course this assumes that the client really wants to achieve a winning strategy -- do something different. Some don't. Not really. Some just want to validate their current approach.
Thanks, Steve. It's always gratifying -- and valuable! -- to hear from former FSG clients on best practices around change. Your point about some leaders not really being committed to change is well-taken. Which makes one wonder why ambitious, time-consuming strategy projects get launched in the first place. Sometime it's outside pressure (e.g., boards). Other times it's in response to internal urging to reevaluate the current trajectory. Too often, however, there's no corresponding commitment on leadership's part to actually act on the strategy outcomes. Often it's better not to undertake any strategic renewal process at all rather than do it halfheartedly or on the cheap. It's a prescription for failure and furthermore it makes it all that much harder for future efforts to be taken seriously. You've provided some great, practical ideas about anticipating change obstacles -- and investing in change resources up-front. Thanks!

The scheme of representation, as a substitute for a meeting of the citizens in person, being at most but very imperfectly known to ancient polity, it is in more modern times only that we are to expect instructive examples. And even here, in order to avoid a research too vague and diffusive, it will be proper to confine ourselves to the few examples which are best known, and which bear the greatest analogy to our particular case. The first to which this character ought to be applied, is the House of Commons in Great Britain. The history of this branch of the English Constitution, anterior to the date of Magna Charta, is too obscure to yield instruction. The very existence of it has been made a question among political antiquaries. The earliest records of subsequent date prove that parliaments were to SIT only every year; not that they were to be ELECTED every year. And even these annual sessions were left so much at the discretion of the monarch, that, under various pretexts, very long and dangerous intermissions were often contrived by royal ambition. To remedy this grievance, it was provided by a statute in the reign of Charles II, that the intermissions should not be protracted beyond a period of three years. On the accession of William III, when a revolution took place in the government, the subject was still more seriously resumed, and it was declared to be among the fundamental rights of the people that parliaments ought to be held FREQUENTLY. By another statute, which passed a few years later in the same reign, the term "frequently," which had alluded to the triennial period settled in the time of Charles II, is reduced to a precise meaning, it being expressly enacted that a new parliament shall be called within three years after the termination of the former. The last change, from three to seven years, is well known to have been introduced pretty early in the present century, under on alarm for the Hanoverian succession. From these facts it appears that the greatest frequency of elections which has been deemed necessary in that kingdom, for binding the representatives to their constituents, does not exceed a triennial return of them. And if we may argue from the degree of liberty retained even under septennial elections, and all the other vicious ingredients in the parliamentary constitution, we cannot doubt that a reduction of the period from seven to three years, with the other necessary reforms, would so far extend the influence of the people over their representatives as to satisfy us that biennial elections, under the federal system, cannot possibly be dangerous to the requisite dependence of the House of Representatives on their constituents.

Racist Antisemite Louis Farrakhan Falsely Claims Talmud Permits Sex Crimes
By Geller Report Staff - on July 26, 2019
Democrats: New Nazi Party
The Jew-hating Left loves Farrakhan. The mainstream media (with some exceptions) still refuse to condemn Farrakhan, despite his utterly vicious anti-Semitism. In addition, the Democrat Party will also not denounce Farrakhan, out of fear of alienating their far-left voting base.
In fact, many prominent Democrats have taken photo's with and embraced Farrakhan. Imagine the reaction from the mainstream media if President Trump had taken a photo with David Duke. Trump would not be able to show his face in public.
However, Obama, Clinton, Holder, Maxine Waters and other Democrats are given a pass for their acceptance of arguably the worst and most hateful racist in the United States. In 2019 it is acceptable to embrace a racist if you are a Leftist. #Jexodus!
Notorious anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan Falsely Claims Talmud Permits Sex Crimes
By Benjamin Kerstein, Algemeiner, July 25, 2019:
Nation of Islam leader and notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan has blamed "Talmudic, satanic Jews" for the sex scandals surrounding Harvey Weinstein and Jeffrey Epstein, claiming the Talmud makes such conduct "lawful to them."
In a video posted to Twitter by the Team Farrakhan fan account, Farrakhan can be seen speaking at the Nation of Islam's headquarters on July 21.
Minister @LouisFarrakhan talks about the corruption of Satanic Talmudic Jews such as Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein.

"Did you know that pedophilia, homosexuality, sex trafficking, is the work of Talmudists?" he asks.
Referring to a 2008 plea bargain cut between then-US Attorney for Miami Alexander Acosta — later President Donald Trump's labor secretary, who stepped down earlier this month — and Epstein that was intensely criticized after Epstein's latest arrest, Farrakhan said, "So Mr. Epstein and the cabinet member of Mr. Trump worked out a deal that flouted the law."
"Weinstein and Epstein, and all those top Jewish Talmudists who are in media, television that abuse women," Farrakhan said. "You don't hear nobody talkin' about Weinstein. You don't hear nobody talkin' about Epstein."
In an apparent reference to infamous fraudster Bernie Madoff, Farrakhan added, "You don't hear nobody talkin' about the man who set up a hedge fund."

Ralf Rangnick reveals talks with Michael Carrick to 'stay on board' at Manchester United

Ralf Rangnick has revealed he held unsuccessful talks to try to convince Michael Carrick to 'stay on board' at Manchester United, but was forced to accept his decision to step aside as he 'needed a break'.
The 63-year-old held his opening press conference as United's interim manager this morning and discussed a range of topics including his playing style, Cristiano Ronaldo's role in his setup and the upcoming January transfer window.
There remains uncertainty over the coaching staff Rangnick will employ for the second half of the campaign after Carrick – who worked closely with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and had been in charge as caretaker boss – announced his departure in the wake of United's 3-2 win over Arsenal.
The former England midfielder said it was '100 per cent' his choice to leave following the victory, which Rangnick confirmed as he addressed the media for the first time.
'I met with Michael and with Kieran [McKenna], but especially with Michael two days ago. I had a long private conversation with him for more than an hour,' Rangnick told reporters.
'I was trying to convince him to stay on board, but he had obviously taken that decision weeks ago that he needed a break and a rest after 30 years in professional football.
'In the end I had to accept that and in a way I can also understand his decision.'

Rangnick hopes to get 'one or two' trusted ex-colleagues on the staff at United as quickly as possible, but admitted it may be tricky given Brexit regulations and the fact many are already contracted to big clubs around Europe.
'I'm more than happy to work with the current coaching staff because I need their experience and expertise regarding the current squad,' he added.
'I will obviously try to find one, two, maybe three people who can join us in the next two weeks, but with the Brexit regulations it's not that easy.
'Many of my former colleague, no matter if it's video analysts or assistant coaches, are in contracts with big clubs so they're not available right now so we have to be a little bit smart and clever and find the right people.
'But I hope that we can get them in here in the next one or two weeks, but I cannot tell you any names.'
Rangnick takes over with United sat seventh in the Premier League (Picture: Getty)
Rangnick watched the Red Devils' victory over Arsenal from the stands at Old Trafford and was pleased his new club came away with all three points from the heavyweight clash.
But the German aims to bring greater 'control' in matches over the coming weeks and months which will help the squad 'gain confidence'.
'To gain control on games in the future it's got to do with playing proactively, no matter if we have the ball ourselves or if the other team is in possession of the ball,' he went on.
'It's about helping the team to play together, it's about togetherness, it's about team spirit and we saw it yesterday.
'If we compare the two halves it was completely different and having had these unique fans behind us, this will help and also help the team to gain confidence and we could see it in the second half.
'This is obviously not easy and I cannot do that within one or two training sessions, not even in one of two weeks. It's not about playing pressing or counter-pressing for the pressing kind of sake, but it's about control. This is the major target.'
Rangnick – who left his role as manager of sports and development at Lokomotiv Moscow – will take charge for the first time this weekend when United play host to Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
He takes over the reins from Carrick with United languishing down in seventh in the table, 12 points adrift of leaders Chelsea.

After 2015 World Cup success, Australian women stood for better wages — and won
Associated PressJul 30, 2016, 8:10 PM EDT
Photo by Elsa/Getty Images
Long before the U.S. women's soccer team filed a federal complaint over wage discrimination, the Australian women fought for better pay.
The Matildas, as they are known, will be among the 12 women's soccer teams playing in Brazil next week when the Olympics get underway. Their strike following a successful run in last summer's Women's World Cup in Canada was significant as female athletes across sports fight for recognition and respect – including their American counterparts.
"In terms of being trailblazers, I'm not really sure. I think we just sort of went about it how we thought was necessary," Australian defender Steph Catley said. "We felt we deserved more."
The Matildas have made a quick ascent as one of the world's elite teams. They gained national attention last year when they became the first team from Australia – male or female – to win a World Cup knockout round match by upsetting Brazil 1-0 and advancing to the quarterfinals.
The United States went on to win the World Cup with a 5-2 victory over Japan in the final.
Afterward, the U.S. women scheduled a pair of exhibition matches against Australia as part of a victory tour. But the Australian federation withdrew from those matches after the Matildas walked out of training camp and the players' union said contract talks with the national federation had stalled.
The Matildas, whose contract had expired, said they had not been paid for two months heading into the walkout.
The salary for a national team player was equivalent to $14,475, based on a six-month playing period. That meant many of the players needed to have other jobs to make ends meet. Some players worked two club seasons, one at home in Australia and the other in the United States with the National Women's Soccer League, meaning they played year-round.
The players were asking for a salary increase to $28,000 a year, as well as other benefits including improved accommodations and bonuses for international matches. The demands were part of larger bargaining that included the men's national team and A-League players, and the Football Federation Australia at one point claimed the Matildas were being used as a pawn in the negotiations.
But there was a groundswell of support for the women, who have seen their popularity rise in Australia along with the team's stature on the national stage.
American stars Hope Solo and Carli Lloyd, former player Julie Foudy and Canadian forward Christine Sinclair were among those who expressed support for the Australians. There were change.org petitions to support the team.
"The Matildas are courageously fighting for what is right. (hashtag) priclessrolemodels," Lloyd posted to Twitter.
The deal that was eventually struck in November included a pay structure that puts the salaries for top players at $30,700 per year and those at the next level at $22,400. The contract calls for a 10 percent raise each year and improved bonuses and other benefits.
"Our elite female players deserve a full-time professional career path in football and this agreement represents a solid foundation we can build on," players' association chief executive Adam Vivian said at the time.
Striker Kyah Simon said the move made the team stronger.
"The Matildas' story is standing up for what we believe in and standing up for our brand and our culture. I think at the end of the day it brought the team closer together," Simon said. "It's something we can look on with pride, and something that's hopefully a positive future for our sport and for the new generation of players."
The victory came well before a group of U.S. women's national team players filed a complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging wage discrimination. The women claim they make far less on average than their male national team counterparts. The complaint in late March came as the players seek a new collective bargaining agreement with U.S. Soccer.
Heading into the Olympics, the Matildas are ranked No. 5 in the world.
They leapfrogged Japan and Korea in the AFC qualification tournament to earn the trip to Rio along with China – scoring 17 goals in five matches.
Australia is in a tough group in Brazil that includes No. 2 Germany, No. 10 Canada and Zimbabwe. It is the only group with three teams ranked in the top 10. The top-ranked Americans play in a group that includes No. 3 France, New Zealand and Colombia.
Australia opens the tournament on Wednesday against Canada in Sao Paulo.
"After the World Cup everything sort of started to change. When we came home there was so much media attention and so many people that were interested in what we were doing and really proud of the success we had," Catley said of the team's rising profile. "I think people always knew there was a national team, but I don't think they realized how high in the rankings we were and how much better we were getting as a team."

Well, he may have some competition if we ever get vampire-Batman in but we haven't had many people call in for 'Crimson Mist' razza-ma-tazz.
Still, you can use this cute version of Black Lantern Batman to jumpstart the Blackest Night. His skull kind of acts as the key to the whole thing so all you need now is the gatekeeper...right, Zuul?

Try these cute turkey cupcakes at your Thanksgiving Feast this year! I used the recipe on the back of the Hershey can for both the frosting and the cake. We sampled the cake and frosting recipe for my husband's birthday earlier in the month, and it's tough to find a better one. It was so good, I wanted to make this recipe for my son's birthday this summer, but he's more of a vanilla fan.
These cupcakes are from last Thanksgiving, and while we had far too many sweets to even put a dent in this tray of goodies, they were great fun to make and the kids had a blast putting them together with me. Far from perfect, they frosting is drippy in places, but I try not to focus on that when the kids are having a good time!
In addition to the ingredients needed in the linked recipe, you will also need mini marshmallows and candy corn. You can find these pretty cheap after Halloween.

Jesus' teachings have reached across two millenia, inspiring, informing, and uplifting people from all walks of life. In this elegant little volume, a noted religious publisher and biblical student has collected Jesus' key messenges, culled from the Gospels. Organized thematically, Jesus' words speak directly to contemporary lives and convey a man unlike any other man whose life contains a message for all. Engaging and nondoctrinal commentary throughout places the sayings in their historical context and drawn to this simple and beautiful rendering of Jesus' unique--an, even today, unconventional--message for the heart.
"Thomas Cahill's Jesus' Little Instruction Book fascinated me. It lifts words of Jesus from their ancient context and presents them in a way which makes them strikingly relevant to practical issues in everyday modern life."
So far as we know, Jesus never wrote anything down--or, if he did, nothing has survived. We are pretty sure he knew how to read and write. The gospels present him as reading aloud from the scroll of the scriptures in the synagogue; and, like other Jewish males of pious family, he would have been schooled as a child to read the Hebrew texts of Judaism's holy books.
But by Jesus' day, Hebrew was already a dead language, used principally in study and ritual. The day-to-day language of Jesus and his fellow Jews was Aramaic. The working language of the Roman conquerors who ruled over them was not Latin but Greek, which at that time served as an international language--as Latin would in the Middle Ages and as English does today. So Jesus probably knew some Greek as well, which would have been the language he used to respond to the questions of Pontius Pilate, the Roman procurator who condemned him to death.
Virtually all the sayings of Jesus that have come down to us are written in Greek, and most of these are contained in the four gospels of the New Testament. We know that few, if any, of these sayings can be verbatim, because the great bulk of what Jesus said he said in Aramaic. The Greek sayings of the gospels are translations of Jesus' original spoken words (and, as we read them in English, at one more remove from the originals). Furthermore, the gospel writers sometimes contradict one another--usually in minor details--by giving different versions of what Jesus said.
Before there were written gospels, there was human memory. Various participants in Jesus' life and witnesses to his spoken words joined the communities that formed "in his name" after his earthly life, and these people contributed their memories of him to the communal pool. One could almost say that memory was the central business of these groups. Informal and fairly unstructured, they met in one another's houses and tried to keep a low profile, since both Jews and Greeks were suspicious of them. At first, they called themselves followers of "the Way," a harmless-sounding phrase. To keep out spies, they used passwords and symbols and secret gestures. If you gained entrance to one of their meetings, you would have found yourself participating in a ritualized common meal at which a portion of the Jewish scriptures was read aloud and interpreted, a hymn was sung that explained the extraordinary significance the singers attached to Jesus' life, and bread and wine were distributed with the baffling admonition that these were to be consumed as "the body and blood" of Jesus himself.
And walked as Man among men.
To death upon a cross.
To the glory of the Father.
Though Jesus was divine, he had taken on our humanity, and had suffered and died for us, emptying himself "to the last." This total giving had resulted in his resurrection by the Father God and his exaltation as Lord of the Universe. So the followers of the Way kept the memory of his words and deeds, knowing that his was not the usual human story of life and suffering, ending in death. He was unique in all of history, a man whose life and works had been justified by the act of God himself, who had brought him back from the dead. It was because of this unique proof of the cosmic centrality of Jesus that they wished to remember everything they could about his earthly words and deeds.
But they had another reason for remembering. Jesus himself had urged them to "follow" him--to become like him. How could they? They did not come from God, they could not die on a cross for all humanity. But they could "empty" themselves, if not of blood, then of all pretension, all worldly ambition, all merely human striving. And they could remember his words and try to live their lives by them.
In this spirit, they began to make collections of his sayings. These collections, the need for which became more pressing as the generation of witnesses began to pass from the scene, were eventually joined to the oft-told story of Jesus' trial, execution, and miraculous resurrection to become written "go'spels" or "good spells"--that is, "good news." The earliest such gospel may be the Gospel According to Mark, probably committed to papyrus thirty-some years after Jesus' crucifixion, perhaps as a written equivalent of the teaching of Peter, the chief apostle. Or it may be that the apostle Matthew's Gospel was the first--in a primitive Aramaic version that we have lost. But each of the gospels has several, maybe many, parents. Just imagine all the elders who would have had a story or two to contribute! And when we imagine such interaction, we can easily see how, a full generation or more after the events of Jesus' life, some memories would be hard to square with others and some of the stories would have evolved over time to gain a richer meaning than they seemed once to possess. Such a process explains the minor discrepancies among the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. The Gospel According to John, on the other hand, seems to have been extensively rewritten more than once to make it relevant to the changing conditions (and crises) of the community that produced it. It may not have reached its final form until about the end of the first century.
What is far more remarkable than the inconsistencies and rewritings, however, is the consistent portrayal of the figure of Jesus. None of the evangelists (as the gospel authors are called) were practiced writers. Yet their words manage to convey a person, a human yet divine figure who reaches across the divide of twenty centuries to make direct contact with us. Because this troubling, uncanny, marvelous, healing contact has been experienced repeatedly by countless billions of human beings over two millennia, we may speak of the gospels as unique--books unlike any other books about a man unlike any other man, who lived a life that contains a mysterious message for each of us.
What follows is my collection of the words--and, on a couple of occasions, the silences--of Jesus as found in the four gospels. I have included only those sayings addressed to all and have omitted sayings that appear bound to particular historical circumstances (such as most of his instructions to the twelve apostles before their first mission in Chapter 10 of Matthew's Gospel). When the same (or similar) saying is found more than once, I have chosen one version. I have kept the sayings from the gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke together and gathered the distinctive sayings from John's Gospel into a separate section.
If you read these sayings in sequence, you may find that they are not especially sequential. Neither Jesus nor the gospel writers kept to the strict "first this, then that" logic that we are accustomed to. The progress of Jesus' thought is more like a spiral than a straight line. He tends to say the same things again and again. But with each repetition there is a new twist. As you follow him through his story, you can see that he begins by interacting mainly with large groups of people, painting his program with broad brush strokes at first, and gradually concentrating his attention on smaller groups of friends and enemies. As he becomes more and more pointed in his instructions, his enemies become more fierce, vocal, and dark minded, and his friends more loyal, committed, and enlightened. It is as if the gospels started with the undifferentiated mass of humanity, which gradually separates itself out into good and evil poles in response to the figure of Jesus--and all in preparation for the final conflict, with its cosmic implications.
The translation I have used is The New Testament of The New Jerusalem Bible, hardly the most famous or most used translation, but to my ear the most noble and contemporary. It is also, so far as I can judge, extremely accurate. Its notes and introductions are both reader friendly and profound, and I heartily recommend it to all who come to enjoy these excerpts.
Do not reed Jesus' Little Instruction Book all at once. Savor what you read. Go on only when you have sucked all the goodness out of each saying. There is nothing to be afraid of here. Open this book and let him speak to you, as if for the first time, whom you have always wanted to hear, whether you knew it or not.
the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
they shall have the earth as inheritance.
they shall have their fill.
they shall be recognized as children of God.
Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven; this is how they persecuted the prophets before you."
These sayings are called "Beatitudes," after "beati," the Latin word for blessed, which Jerome used when he translated the original Greek gospels into Latin in the late fourth century. His translation of the Bible, called the Vulgate (or common) version, remained the standard in the West for more than a thousand years--until the translations into the European vernacular languages during the Reformation period.
The Beatitudes are the beginning of what is actually called "The Sermon on the Mount" (Matthew 5-7), which is really just Matthew's arrangement of a more primitive collection of Jesus' sayings.
Whenever Jesus quotes from the Jewish scriptures, his words are set in italics.
"You are salt for the earth. But if salt loses its taste, what can make it salty again? It is good for nothing, and can only be thrown out to be trampled under people's feet."
"You are light for the world. A city built on a hill-top cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp to put it under a tub; they put it on the lamp-stand where it shines for everyone in the house. In the same way your light must shine in people's sight, so that, seeing your good works, they may give praise to your Father in heaven."
"Do not imagine that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete them. In truth I tell you, till heaven and earth disappear, not one dot, not one little stroke, is to disappear from the Law until all its purpose is achieved. Therefore, anyone who infringes even one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be considered the least in the kingdom of Heaven; but the person who keeps them and teaches them will be considered great in the kingdom of Heaven."
The Law (or Torah) refers to the first five books of the sacred scriptures of the Jews, which contain a series of laws, and most important the Ten Commandments. But, more deeply, the Law refers to the attitudes toward life to be found in these books. The Prophets are the books of the Jewish scriptures that contain the words of men recognized as prophets, like Isaiah and Jeremiah, who recall the Jews to their own highest moral standards. "The Law and the Prophets" together form the most revered part of the Jewish canon, or definitive group of sacred writings.
"For I tell you, if your uprightness does not surpass that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never get into the kingdom of Heaven."
Pharisees were rabbis who belonged to a reform movement that had begun prior to Jesus' day and that stressed strict observance of all the details of the Jewish Law. By Jesus' time, this movement may have become corrupt or at least began to harbor corrupt members. But such a characterization is based on little more than speculation. All we can say for sure is that Jesus had such a low opinion of them that the name Pharisee became synonymous with hypocrite. This portrayal of the Pharisees has unfortunately also figured in Christian prejudice against Jews, which Jesus the Jew would hardly have intended. See page 104 for additional interpretation.

'Jersey Boys' finally hits Garden State
Ilana Keller
Bringing "Jersey Boys" to the Garden State for the very first time is bound to be filled with special moments, but Corey Greenan can pinpoint the one he's most looking forward to.
"I can't wait to stand up there as Tommy in the beginning and say 'Let's face it, we put Jersey on the map.' "
Greenan plays Tommy DeVito in the national tour of the Tony Award-winning musical, which tells the behind-the-music story of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, starting off with their roots as four hardscrabble young musicians from New Jersey.
More:Own a piece of Broadway history and help Puerto Rico
The show is peppered with the group's biggest hits, including "Sherry," "Big Girls Don't Cry," "Oh What A Night," "Walk Like A Man," "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" and "Working My Way Back To You."
"Jersey Boys" hits the State Theatre in New Brunswick from Oct. 13 to 15 — the first time the show, which recently closed an 11-year run on Broadway, will be seen in New Jersey.
"Playing Tommy has been one of the most exciting experiences of my career. Such an amazing character in an amazing show," Greenan said.
"And now, to be the first cast that gets to do this in Jersey, it's incredibly exciting and also a little nerve-wracking. Nightly, you want to make these characters authentic because they were real people. You want to represent them as authentic people, not just caricatures of a Jersey stereotype. And the creative team is very careful to make sure that doesn't happen, that we're telling a real story of these guys that came from this place. There's some pressure there to do it justice, especially in its hometown, in its home state."
Broadway:Laura Benanti on role of a lifetime -- mom
Originally from northern California, Greenan moved to New York 12 years ago and has been crisscrossing the country on tour for the better part of three years. He followed appearances on Broadway in "Mamma Mia!" and "Scandalous" with a turn in the ensemble of the "Jersey Boys" tour before joining the national tour of "If/Then" and then hopping into the spotlight as DeVito in "Jersey Boys" this go-round.
It actually was more of a leap than a hop.
"I went from 'If/Then,' then I had one day off, then started rehearsals for the 'Jersey Boys' tour," Greenan said.
More:'Jersey Boys' highlights State Theatre's 2017-18 season
While it means he sometimes wakes up in a hotel room without a clue where that hotel room may be located, Greenan says being on the road often offers an opportunity to bring theater to parts of the country where there is less access to the performing arts.
"I do love it. Its got its trying points, but I love (being on tour) because it takes you places you usually wouldn't find yourself going. Also what's great about doing a show like 'Jersey Boys' that is just loved everywhere you go ... people really want to see this stuff and they don't get a chance to a lot. To be able to take it into these markets that are smaller and give people an opportunity to see a Broadway show in their community is really exciting."
In addition to the national tour, "Jersey Boys" is set to return to the New York stage this fall, where it will play an open run at New World Stages starting in November.
"Jersey Boys" will be at the State Theatre, 15 Livingston Ave., New Brunswick, at 8 p.m. Friday, Oct. 13, 2 and 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14, and 2 and 7 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 15. For tickets, $35 to $118, or more information, call 732-246-7469, or visit STNJ.org.
"I feel very lucky to be where I am. This creative team has been so supportive over the years. Finally the time was right and I was in the right place," Greenan said. "And now I get to take it everywhere."

Un total de 28.24 millones de pasajeros pasaron por el aeropuerto en 2008, convirtiéndose en el 3º aeropuerto con mayor número de pasajeros de la República Popular de China. Sin embargo, maneja más pasajeros internacionales el Aeropuerto Internacional de Pekín, el aeropuerto con el mayor número de pasajeros internacionales atendidos, con 17,518,790 pasajeros internacionales atendidos en 2007, un 9.0% de incremento respecto al año anterior.

Historia

Desarrollo temprano

Antes de la creación del aeropuerto internacional de Pudong, el Aeropuerto Internacional de Hongqiao era el principal aeropuerto de Shanghái. Durante los años 1990, la ampliación de Hongqiao se tornó imposible debido al desarrollo urbano en los alrededores de Hongqiao. Como resultado, el gobierno tuvo que buscar una alternativa al aeropuerto internacional de Hongqiao para hacerse cargo de todos los vuelos internacionales. Un lugar posible era la costa de Pudong en la zona de desarrollo al este de Shanghái. El aeropuerto recibió una inversión significativa de 40,000 millones de yenes, unos 400 millones de dólares, de la (ODA) de Japón.

El aeropuerto fue inaugurado el 1 de octubre de 1999, reemplazando al Aeropuerto Internacional de Shanghái Hongqiao como el aeropuerto internacional de Shanghái y haciéndose cargo de todos sus vuelos, incluyendo los regionales a Hong Kong y Macao. La primera fase del aeropuerto comenzó en octubre de 1997 y tardó dos años en construirse a un coste de 12,000 millones de RMB (1.670 millones de dólares estadounidenses). Ocupa un espacio de cuarenta kilómetros cuadrados y se encuentra a treinta km de Shanghái. La primera fase del aeropuerto supuso la construcción de una pista de categoría 4E (4,000 m x 60 m) junto con dos calles de rodadura paralelas, una plataforma de 800,000 metros cuadrados, setenta y seis estacionamientos de aviones y 50,000 metros cuadrados de almacén de carga.

La segunda y tercera pistas fueron inauguradas el 17 de marzo de 2005 y el 26 de marzo de 2008 respectivamente, y hay en proyecto una cuarta pista en una próxima fase. La segunda terminal fue inaugurada el 26 de marzo de 2008 y la tercera terminal se encuentra en fase de estudio. El plan director contempla un total de tres terminales, dos satélites, y cinco pistas paralelas, para ofrecer una capacidad total de cien millones de pasajeros al año.

Las restricciones de vuelos internacionales se retiraron en el aeropuerto de Hongqiao en octubre de 2007 con vuelos al Aeropuerto Internacional de Tokio (Haneda) y en noviembre de 2007, volando al Aeropuerto Internacional Gimpo en Seúl. Esto se debe a un gran esfuerzo para proporcionar un servicio adecuado al viajero de negocios, ante la restricción de vuelos existentes entre Haneda y Gimpo. Hongqiao, Haneda y Gimpo están mucho más próximos al centro ciudadano que los más modernos pero lejanos aeropuertos internacionales de Pudong, Narita e Incheon.

Ampliación
En 2004, el aeropuerto atendió a unos quinientos vuelos diarios, transportando a más de 21 millones de pasajeros al año. El aeropuerto internacional de Shanghái-Pudong es el sexto aeropuerto del mundo en términos de tráfico de carga, y el 28º en términos de tráfico de pasajeros internacionales. Es también el 40º en cuanto a pasajeros en general, al mover 26,790,826 pasajeros. Es el octavo aeropuerto de Asia en tráfico de pasajeros.

El aeropuerto internacional de Shanghái-Pudong ha experimentado recientemente importantes incrementos, nunca inferiores al 10%, en el tema de carga. De 2002 a 2003, se ha observado un incremento de casi el doble en el ámbito de carga (87.3%). De 2002 a 2006, se ha pasado del lugar 26º al 6º en tráfico de carga, triplicando el tráfico de carga desde 2002. En 2006, hubo un incremento del 16.8% mientras Narita (Tokio) experimentó un descenso del -0.5% e Incheon un 8.7% de descenso. Se podría superar al Aeropuerto Internacional de Narita dentro de pocos años, así como al Aeropuerto Internacional de Incheon situándose en cuarta posición en carga y más tarde al Aeropuerto Internacional de Hong Kong, que es el punto de carga más importante de Asia y el segundo del mundo. Además UPS y DHL añadirán nuevas bases en los próximos años y, Pudong, podría convertirse en el primer aeropuerto en ser base de dos compañías de carga internacional exprés.

Pudong tiene muchos movimientos durante las horas punta, con el resultado de que muchos aviones han de aparcar en remoto. Para solventar esto, la construcción de la segunda fase (que incluye una segunda terminal, una tercera pista y una terminal de carga) comenzó en diciembre de 2005 y fue concluido a tiempo para los Juegos Olímpicos de 2008 de Pekín.
Los arquitectos de la terminal 2 decidieron utilizar muchos acabados de lugares famosos como el de la calle Bentley Prince y alfombras Brinton.

La terminal 2, ubicada detrás de la terminal 1, fue inaugurada el 26 de marzo de 2008 (el mismo día que el de la inauguración oficial de la terminal 3 en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Pekín), dándole una capacidad adicional de 40 millones de pasajeros al año. Cuando la fase dos esté totalmente completada, incrementará la capacidad de Pudong hasta los sesenta millones de pasajeros y las 4.2 millones de toneladas de carga anuales. En el futuro se creará un centro de transporte entre la terminal 1 y 2.

Shanghai Airlines se movió a la terminal 2 desde su inauguración el 26 de marzo de 2008 junto con otras 14 aerolíneas, incluyendo Air India, Northwest Airlines, Qatar Airways, Alitalia, British Airways, Qantas Airways, Virgin Atlantic Airways, Philippine Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Transaero Airlines, Cebu Pacific, Aerosvit Airlines, Garuda Indonesia y Royal Nepal Airlines. Los miembros de la Star Alliance, Air Canada, Air China, Air New Zealand, ANA, Asiana Airlines, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways y United Airlines se movieron el 29 de abril de 2008 junto con otras aerolíneas, hasta alcanzar las 33 aerolíneas que actualmente operan en la terminal 2.

La próxima ampliación ambiciosa, incluye la construcción de la cuarta y quinta pista, una terminal satélite, mayor que ambas terminales actuales combinadas, y la creación de terminales de carga. Se efectuarán expropiaciones de terrenos para la construcción de la quinta pista y las terminales de carga. Por ello, será necesaria una buena cantidad de dinero en el futuro para atender la demanda. Este ambicioso plan quedará completado en 2015 y convertirá al aeropuerto en uno de los mejores del mundo. Se convertirá así mismo en uno de los primeros aeropuertos en cuanto a superficie.

Recientemente, China Southern Airlines sostuvo que el aeropuerto internacional de Shanghái-Pudong albergaría a sus cinco Airbus A380s, sin embargo no se confirmó si China Southern Airlines convertiría en base de operaciones al aeropuerto internacional de Shanghái-Pudong. UPS ha abierto su nueva base de operaciones de China en el aeropuerto de Pudong en otoño de 2008, reduciendo sus operaciones a Filipinas como contraprestación.

Estadísticas

Incidentes
 El 30 de enero de 2006, la rueda frontal de un Boeing 747-400F de Cargolux se retrajo mientras aparcaba en la plataforma de carga.

 El 13 de mayo de 2006, un Airbus A340-600 de China Eastern (registro B6055), con el vuelo 5042 de Seúl a Shanghái sufrió un incendio en su tren principal. Ninguno de los 232 pasajeros resultó herido.

 El 19 de noviembre de 2006, un Boeing 767-300 de Air Canada  en vuelo 38 se encontró con turbulencias en su ruta a Vancouver desde Shanghái. Cuatro miembros de la tripulación resultaron heridos. El avión aterrizó sin problemas en el Aeropuerto Internacional Narita de Tokio. Este incidente ocurrió justo después de que el vuelo de cabotaje 1348 de Japan Airlines con un Boeing 777 experimentase turbulencias y aterrizó sin problemas en el Aeropuerto Haneda de Tokio.

 El 19 de julio de 2007, el vuelo 858 de United Airlines sufrió una parada de motor en el Aeropuerto Internacional de San Francisco llegando desde el aeropuerto internacional de Shanghái-Pudong.

Infraestructura

El aeropuerto tiene 28 fingers y 127 estacionamientos en una plataforma de 1.49 millones de metros cuadrados sin contar los de la terminal 2. Dispone de dos pistas; la pista de 4,000 metros en categoría 4E y la de 3,800 calificada de categoría 4F, capaz de atender al Airbus A380. Se rumorea que la tercera pista también será de categoría 4F.

La terminal 1 fue inaugurada el 1 de octubre de 1999 junto con una pista de 4,000 m y una base de carga. Fue creada para atender al tráfico y aliviar al Aeropuerto Internacional de Shanghái Hongqiao. La terminal 1 se asemeja a la terminal del Aeropuerto Internacional de Kansai, si bien es más pequeña y sólo cuenta con 28 puertas, trece de las cuales son puertas de embarque dobles. El exterior de la terminal parecen unas olas. La capacidad de la terminal 1 es de 20 millones de pasajeros al año. Actualmente cuenta con 204 mostradores de facturación, trece cintas de equipaje y tiene una superficie de 280,000 metros cuadrados. La terminal 1 ha sido objeto de controversia debido a la escasez de tiendas, el elevado precio de las existentes, las extrañas ubicaciones de los restaurantes y las dificultades para los pasajeros de moverse por la terminal.

La terminal 2, inaugurada el 26 de marzo de 2008, junto con la tercera pista, proporciona una capacidad de 60 millones de pasajeros y 4.2 millones de toneladas de carga al año. La terminal 2 se asemeja a la primera terminal aunque tiene una apariencia exterior más parecida a la de una caracola, en lugar de una ola y es ligeramente más grande que la terminal 1. La terminal 2 es utilizada por Air China, Shanghai Airlines y otros miembros de Star Alliance si bien algunas aerolíneas de SkyTeam y Oneworld trasladarán sus operaciones a esta terminal.

Transrapid construyó el primer tren maglev comercial de alta velocidad del mundo, del Aeropuerto Internacional de Pudong a la carretera Longyang. Fue inaugurado en 2002. Tiene una velocidad máxima de 431 km/h y una longitud de 30 km.
Se construirá un centro de transporte en la tercera fase, y que se espera que esté operativo en 2015. La ampliación de la línea 2 del Metro de Shanghái al aeropuerto internacional de Pudong ya ha comenzado. Cuando la línea 2 esté completada, enlazará el aeropuerto internacional de Pudong con el Aeropuerto Internacional de Shanghái Hongqiao, cuando esté completada en 2010, a tiempo para la Expo Mundial de 2010.

Lucky 7?
UFT President Mulgrew says about 7% of teachers will have bad ratings under the new evaluation system. If this is the case, a lot more teachers will be looking at early retirement, a push off the cliff, or whatever you want to call losing your job over junk science. Around the country, the new junk science systems have not really changed things very much. If Mulgrew is right, NY is going to be worse off than most of the country, despite the fact that we're only at 40% junk science rather than 50 or more.
Another source of mine suggested that 7% is not the anticipated figure for NYC, but rather for NY State. This person further stated that this was expected to be the average, that suburbs were expected to have fewer bad ratings, and that urban areas with more high-needs students were expected to have more. So if that's true, prepare to see even more of our members facing unemployment, surely the only thing Mayor4Life wants.
It's my understanding the union already negotiated a plan to appeal these much more serious bad ratings. First of all, the burden of proof will not necessarily be on the DOE anymore. Up until now, they needed to establish your incompetence before firing you. Now, a "validator" will observe you year two, after your bad rating. If the validator says thumbs up, you're fantastic, they will still need to establish your incompetence. However, if the validator says you stink, you will need to prove you are NOT incompetent, and your tenure will mean virtually nothing.
Sometimes I go to meetings and UFT reps find my concern over the new evaluation system so hilarious they crack wise over it. Here's another thing one rep laughed over--I said only 13% of poorly rated teachers would get a fair hearing. He said I wasn't always right. I suppose that's true, but if I'm not, Leo Casey is also wrong. Since Casey also points Walcott uses a rubber stamp to deny 99.5% of rating appeals, with such high stakes, we need a new system.
That system, of course, is that UFT will pick 13% of bad ratings and send them to an independent arbitrator. This assumes, of course, that Reformy John King won't just decide the city can do whatever it golly gosh darn feels like. But let's see what happens if he doesn't.
13% is a number selected because it resembles the number of successful appeals back when someone less insane than Bloomberg was in office. However, if this independent arbitrator is selected by both the union and the city, isn't it likely he or she will try to find a balance in rulings, so as not to antagonize either employer? If this is the case, we'll likely see 6.5% successful appeals. And that assumes the UFT selects only the most outrageous of injustices. With so many 29-year-old Leadership Academy principals out there, there will be lots from which to choose.
I don't envy the UFT rep who has to tell 87% if poorly-rated teachers they will get a kangaroo-court appeal. On the other hand, extremist that I am, I think everyone should get a fair appeal.

In a bid to save money one of Britons most iconic seafront landmarks is to lose its distinctive red and white stripes. The decision to allow Beachy Head lighthouse to lose its iconic character was made as it is no longer considered and important daytime navigation mark.
Trinity House has stated that there is any no longer justification for the £45,000 cost of repainting the lighthouse every 10 years. However the light will continue to be operational to assist navigation after dark.
A campaign has been started to raise funds to keep the stripes on this iconic Sussex landmark.

Republican candidate may face investigation for trans harassment
Jason Rhode
Republican Congressional candidate Jazmina Saavedra, who came to national attention for following a transgender woman into a bathroom in an L.A.-area Denny's, may face legal consequences, sources said.
Saavedra, a self-proclaimed Trump supporter, livestreamed her confrontation with the transgender woman. During her encounter, Saavedra misgendered and verbally harassed the woman–all while recording the incident on Facebook Live.
The video has been removed from the site.
Saavedra, who is running for the seat in the 44th Congressional District, initiated the confrontation earlier this month. In the video, Saavedra repeated the claim that she had pepper spray and would use it, if necessary.
Following a public backlash, several prominent rights organizations, such as Human Rights Campaign and the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, have asked the Attorney General of California to begin an investigation of the candidate.
In a statement, HRC said "Jazmina Saavedra's actions are dangerous. She invaded a woman's privacy while harassing and misgendering the victim," said the organization's president Chad Griffin.
According to Gay Star News, a 2015 survey revealed that 59% of "trans and non-binary people say they avoid public restrooms." A quarter have been questioned about such usage, and one in eight said they have been attacked (verbally, physically, or sexually) for using a restroom that agrees with their gender identity.

Alfonso Albéniz Jordana (Barcelona; 1 de enero de 1885 - Estoril, Portugal; 27 de septiembre de 1941), fue un futbolista y diplomático español, hijo del compositor Isaac Albéniz. Creador y primer presidente del Comité de Árbitros, fue el primer jugador que pasó del Foot-ball Club Barcelona al Madrid Foot-ball Club, tras trasladarse a la capital por temas de estudios. Llegó a ser directivo del club madrileño e incluso un destacado jugador de rugby en Francia.

Fue tío-abuelo de Alberto Ruiz-Gallardón (alcalde de Madrid entre 2003 y 2011) y abuelo de Cécilia Attias, exmujer de Nicolas Sarkozy (presidente francés entre 2007 y 2012).

Trayectoria
Nacido en Barcelona, fue el primogénito del matrimonio formado por el compositor Isaac Albéniz y Rosina Jordana Lagarriga. En su ilustre familia destacó también su hermana Laura Albéniz, reconocida pintora e ilustradora.

Iniciado en el foot-ball en Londres, Inglaterra, donde los Albéniz se establecieron debido a las interpretaciones de su padre, al que en numerosas ocasiones llevó a París, Francia, en donde Alfonso practicó también el rugby. Acuciado su padre de problemas de salud retornan a España, y es ahí cuando se enrola en las filas del Foot-ball Club Barcelona, en el año 1901. Aún sin competiciones oficiales a nivel nacional, disputa cinco encuentros de la segunda edición del Torneo del Hispania Athletic Club-Copa Alfonso Macaya, que logran vencer los barcelonistas y en el que Albéniz sumó dos tantos. Participó también en los dos encuentros que los barcelonistas disputaron en el Concurso Madrid de Foot-ball Association —conocido popularmente como Copa de la Coronación—.

Si bien se indica que fue el primer «tránsfuga» en recalar en el Madrid Foot-ball Club, lo cierto es que no existen referencias de sus partidos en el club capitalino hasta el año 1911, y por apenas una temporada, momento en el que comienza en el arbitraje. Es posible que vez finalizada el torneo nacional en el mes de mayo organizado por los madridistas, recalase en la capital por motivos de estudio, como así consta en las crónicas, pero debido a dichos quehaceres estuviera más enfocado en labores directivas sin apenas participar como jugador. Cabe destacar que durante su etapa en Barcelona era integrante del equipo reserva, si bien los partidos indicados los disputó con el primer equipo debido a las bajas de algunos de sus integrantes, y puede que fuera también el caso con el equipo madrileño. Sea como fuere parece que se desligó del club en 1912, y se le indica en las reseñas de su trayectoria como uno de los que llegó a conformar su junta directiva, de nuevo desconociéndose los años. Como futbolista del club —en aquella época inmerso en ambiciosos proyectos de expansión internacional e institucional que le permitan continuar con su crecimiento— hay reseña de un único partido amistoso celebrado a finales de 1912, en la inauguración del Estadio de O'Donnell con un partido frente al Sporting Club de Irún perteneciente a la Copa Excelsior y que terminó en empate.

Hay referencias de que en la temporada 1906-07 disputa un encuentro amistoso con el F. C. Barcelona, por lo que es posible que desligado de la vida deportiva, aprovechara concisos momentos para su práctica de manera extraoficial. Sin saber el motivo de aquel partido reseñado, las crónicas de su trayectoria señalan a 1902 como el año en el que se enroló en el club madrileño, si bien como se ha indicado no consta más que un partido en 1911, pudiendo sí ser parte de su sociedad y junta directiva durante el período entre 1902 y 1912 y simplemente figurar como jugador prestado para esa cita —una práctica muy habitual en la época entre los distintos clubes, quizá fruto de un viaje de Albéniz a su Barcelona natal—. Se constata que años después, alrededor de 1915 figura como integrante del Stadium de Madrid, sin saber más datos.

Enfocado en su vida laboral, fue diplomático de España en la Sociedad de Naciones. Trasladado en sus último años de vida a Estoril, Portugal, aquejado de hipertensión, falleció en 1941.
