Osnes Wins NFHS Coach Of The Year by Mark Humphrey ENTERPRISE-LEADER | April 10, 2019 at 5:00 a.m.
Submitted photo/Farmington head softball coach Randy Osnes (left) receives the National Federation of State High School Associations award for Arkansas Coach of the Year for 2017-2018 (fast pitch) from Farmington athletic director Brad Blew prior to a non-conference game against Vilonia.
FARMINGTON -- Farmington softball coach Randy Osnes has been awarded 2017-2018 Arkansas High School Coach-of-the-Year for fast pitch softball by the National Federation of State High School Associations.
The prestigious distinction in the form of a plaque was accompanied by a letter dated Jan. 9, 2019 signed by Dr. Karissa L. Niehoff, NFHS Executive Director; and Richard G. Baker, chairman of NFHS Coaches Association advisory committee.
The letter, sent on behalf of the NFHS Coaches Association, states, "You were specifically nominated by your state association, the Arkansas Activities Association, as the most deserving recipient for this honor."
The letter goes on to say the NFHS relies on state associations to help the national organization recognize those who are leading their sport, shaping their athletes and contributing in a positive way to their community.
The letter congratulates Osnes on being selected as Arkansas Coach-of-the-Year for girls fast-pitch softball and concludes with this statement: "It is our pleasure to recognize you as a leader and role model. Again, thank you for your many contributions to the youth of our country and your community."
The NFHS is based in Indianapolis, Ind., and is celebrating 100 years of service in 2019.
Farmington athletic director Brad Blew made the presentation to Osnes prior to a recent nonconference softball game played against former 5A West foe, Vilonia, which was a fitting recognition since Osnes was receiving the award for work done last season as a 5A West head coach, in which Osnes guided the Lady Cardinals to regular season conference championship with an 11-1 mark and overall 26-5 record.
Farmington won the 2018 5A West Conference tournament and came within one base hit of beating Greenbrier during the May 19, 2018, State 5A championship game played at the Benton Sports Complex. How much a change of venue from the original schedule to play the contest at Bogle Park on the University of Arkansas campus in Fayetteville affected the outcome is difficult to gauge. Yet, the change of venue appeared to favor Greenbrier.
Both schools were members of the 5A West Conference for 2018, but they hadn't played prior to the state championship and didn't meet in 2017 either. The Lady Cardinals went down swinging with two outs and two runners aboard in the seventh.
Farmington reverted to the 4A-1 this school year and Osnes has the Lady Cardinals in the thick of the conference race. As of Sunday, the team record is 12-2 overall and 3-0 in league play.
"Any time you get an award like that it's because you had an opportunity to coach great players and great kids," Osnes said. "Last year it was like that and it's like that again this year adding six freshmen. It's quite the honor and I'm very happy to receive it."
Always low-key about receiving accolades, Osnes' coaching tenure personifies intentional, hands-on investment into the community through leveraging the program. His influence extends into the annual prom. Each of the young ladies on the team know Osnes' policy implemented as a safeguard for the social excursion means, "if their dates or anyone gets disrespectful, all it takes is one phone call to their coach and they can get a safe ride home."
Osnes won't limit his sphere of influence strictly to Farmington players.
In the spring of 2012 after the season, Osnes lined up a summer team for former Gravette star Shyanne Nichols, whom he coached in the 2012 All-Star softball game.
"We're helping out the conference," he said at the time.
Explaining that philosophy now, Osnes said its a matter of maintaining quality of competition.
"You want the best possible competition to elevate the teams around you. You don't want college coaches saying, 'Arkansas is behind.' I think that saying has left us about 15 years ago because you see so many Arkansas kids playing college ball. That's what we do as coaches, look out for the kids."
Just another day at the ballpark for Osnes.

Q: Why can I not use substring in this situation? I'm trying to separate the words in a sentence. Each word of the sentence is stored into the string word, and then it adds everything back into one string again.
But why do I get an error with the substring line?
        String sent = IO.readString();
        char x;
        String word ="";
        int count = 0;

    for(int i = 0; i < sent.length(); i++){
        x = sent.charAt(i);
            if(x == ' ')
           {
            word = sent.substring(x-count,x);
            word = word + ' ';
            count =0;
           }
    count++;
}

A: word = sent.substring(x-count,x); should be word = sent.substring(i-count,i);

A: Because x is a char, not an int, here
word = sent.substring(x-count,x);

and it should (probably) be something like
word = sent.substring(i-count,i);

because i is the position in the String.

A: You should consider using String.split(), which returns a String array.
Documentation: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html#split(java.lang.String)
To use spaces and punctuation as a separator, you could do something like this:
String[] arrWords = sentence.split("([ ,.]+)");

If you really want to go with your original route, you'll have to add some special cases for the first word and last word.  Although, what happens when there are multiple spaces, or punctuation?  Test it and find out!
public class SeparateWords
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    String sent ="Hello there how are you";
    char x;
    String word ="";
    int count = 0;

    for(int i = 0; i <= sent.length(); i++){
       if (i == sent.length()){
         word = sent.substring(i-count+1,i);
         System.out.println(word);
         break;
       }
        x = sent.charAt(i);

        if(x == ' ')
        {
          if ((i-count) == 0){
            word = sent.substring(i-count,i);
          }
          else{
            word = sent.substring(i-count+1,i);
          }
          System.out.println(word);
          word = word + ' ';

          count =0;
        }
        count++;
    }

  }
}

Swiss Quiz PSG Boss, ex-FIFA No.2 in Bribery Case
Paris Saint-Germain chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi and FIFA's disgraced former secretary general, Jerome Valcke, were being questioned Monday by Swiss prosecutors probing alleged corruption in the attribution of football broadcasting rights.
The Swiss attorney general's office (OAG) described the interrogations as "final examination hearings" in the criminal investigations opened in March 2017.
Al-Khelaifi, who is also the boss of Qatari television channel BeIN Sports, is suspected of giving inappropriate gifts to Valcke -- including rent free access to a luxury property -- in order to secure broadcast rights to prestigious events, including the World Cup.
Valcke, formerly ex-FIFA boss Sepp Blatter's right hand man, is suspected of awarding those rights in exchange for bribes.
A third, unnamed suspect in the case -- described by Swiss prosecutors as "a businessman in the sports rights sector" -- is also accused of paying bribes to secure broadcast rights.
"All three suspects complied with the OAG's invitation to appear in person," the statement said.
It added that it was yet not clear whether formal indictments would be filed against any of the suspects or whether the cases would be abandoned.
Al-Khelaifi was separately charged in May by French prosecutors in connection with Doha's candidacy to stage the world athletics championships.
French prosecutors are looking specifically at two payments of $3.5 million (3.18 million euros) in 2011 by Oryx Qatar Sports Investment, a company run by Nasser's brother Khalid Al-Khelaifi, to a sports marketing firm run by Papa Massata Diack.
Diack's father Lamine Diack was president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) from 1999 to 2015 and a member of the International Olympic Committee.
Valcke, who worked with Blatter from 2003-2015, has been banned from football for 10 years for failing to cooperate with investigators, the resale of World Cup tickets and inflated expenses.

Funny little book by Jon Stewart before he hit it big with his The Daily Show (one of our favorite shows, hands down). Lots of little vignettes — the funniest one is a fictional interview by Larry King of Adolf Hitler. Favorite quote: "Larry, I was a bad guy, no question." Not as funny as America: The Book, which I'll put up another note about shortly, but pretty funny nonetheless. I'd suggest you borrow it from me, though — probably not worth buying.


BEIJING, April 20 -- Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is set to return to China next month upon invitation of Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi has confirmed that President Duterte is one of the 28 state and government leaders who will participate in the Forum set to be held on May 14 and 15 in Beijing.
According to the top Chinese Foreign Ministry official, President Duterte will join fellow leaders from Association of Southeast Asian Nation (ASEAN) who already confirmed attendance in the two-day forum which President Xi will host.
They are Indonesian President Joko Widodo, Myanmar State Counselor Aung San Suu Kyi, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, Lao President Bounnhang Vorachit, and Vietnamese President Tran Dai Quang.
In October last year, President Duterte made his first four-day visit in China, a move that revived the Philippines-China relation that was affected by the South China Sea dispute.
President Duterte's trip has also resulted in USD 24 billion worth of investments pledges and infrastructure projects.
Last March, Wang said President Duterte's appropriate handling of the Southeast China Sea will benefit not only the people of the Philippines but the entire Asian region.
He said since President Duterte visited Beijing last year, over 1,000 Chinese tourist groups have visited the Philippines and China has imported over 2,000 tons of tropical fruits from the country.
President Duterte's attendance in the Belt & Road Forum is expected to improve further the Philippines and China's bilateral trade which remains stable after volume trade reached USD 47.2 billion or a 3.3 percent increase from previous year.
Wang has announced that 28 heads of state and government including Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will participate in the forum.
He said over 80 leaders of international organizations, 100 ministerial-level officials, as well as 1,200 delegates from various countries and regions will also attend the Belt and Road's highest level of international forum.
Other government leaders who confirmed attendance include Presidents Doris Leuthard of Switzerland, Mauricio Macri of Argentina, Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus, Michelle Bachelet of Chile, Milos Zeman of Czech, Nursultan Nazarbeyev of Kazakhstan, Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, Recep Tayyif Erdogan of Turkey, and Shavkat Mirziyoyev of Uzbekstan.
The Prime Ministers include Hailemariam Dessalegn of Ethiopia, Voreqe Bainimarama of Fijian, Alexis Tsipras of Greece, Viktor Orban of Hungary, Paolo Gentiloni of Italy, Jargaltulga Erdenebat of Mongolia, Nawaz Sharif of Pakistan, Beata Szydlo of Poland, Aleksandar Vucic of Serbia, Mariano Rajoy of Spain and Ranil Wickremesinghe of Sri Lanka.
United Nations secretary-general Antonio Guterres, World Bank president Jim Yong Kim, and International Monetary Fund managing director Christine Lagarde will also grace the forum.
According to Wang, President Xi will attend the opening ceremony and will host a round table meeting that will brainstorm on policy and strategic development and interconnected development.
He said another "1+6" high level meeting will be held to discuss various topics including infrastructure, trade and economic cooperation, energy resources, financial cooperation, eco-environment, and people-to-people exchanges.
President Xi proposed the Belt and Road or One Belt, One Road Initiative in 2013 with the hope of re-establishing the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road in at least 65 countries in Asia, Europe and Africa.
Based on the Belt and Road Big Data Center of the State Information Center, China's total value of trade with Belt and Road countries has reached USD 953.59 billion in 2016.
China has reportedly invested more than USD 50 billion in countries along the Belt and Road routes since 2013.

I have a small sheep called Selma. I like her. She have been in the purse when at the nice lady. I am the one who Serene saved, but she is not happy with me now because of reading here and then I am saying everybody should look at the head pictures and see what did happen, which is ok for me because I am in a garden. I am writing now because i do really want some help.p, and I am scared form the mean person. I do like the bears a little. But, I anyway have a koala also, but he is on the shelf. I also like flowers. I think we are going to be dead. I would be sad because I like the husband, and I like cartoons like the spongebob with the pink Patrick. I'm glad I can type and it tells you how to spell.
Hello to the little one who wrote this post – it is very okay that you wrote this, and you haven't done anything wrong. I'll post this one but not the other note you sent. I'm still not sure what the correct name because I'm not sure what or where is the typo. It's ok here to ask for help, and I'm glad you are here learning lots of new things here at this place. There are lots of ways to get help, and it s important to get help, especially when you need help knowing what to do around mean people. And gosh, no one here wants you to be dead. It sounds like it's quite important for you to be here and to figure out ways to feel safer.
So I do want to post this comment, and let some of your new friends here understand you more. And hopefully, help you more too.
I'm glad you carry a sheep in your purse, and that you have a koala. Koalas are so cute!
Thank you for having the courage to write, and if you will please help me understand what the correct name should be, I can put that in there for you. Hold tight, and stay safe!
Merrie. But I am now very scared of big people. You have pretty eyes and I don't see you so it's ok. Serene hates me. Mean person was in a picture and then made the arm to bleed so the lady have to wear long sleeves even if she is hot which did happen today.serene wanting to make us all to be dead. She is not to be sure how that would be.
Today, I was reminded of this conversation from a long while ago — how are you feeling now? Are you feeling any better? Are things better at your house?
I am sorry to hear that Serene was so upset, and it would be very upsetting that there was so much distress at your place. I hope things are more settled now.
I certainly don't want you to be dead, or hurt, or have troubles with each other. I hope all the people in your group learn how to be friends instead.
Everyone, please be kind and gentle with each other!
Lady, thank you for to ask about her.
She in big trouble. There be a picture of her bad garden. A made it at work at a retreat what had papers and markers.
There be a new helper who try to fix up what did go bad before, and she supposed to be a expert, and she has a pretty soul. and also a math teacher who now be like your job who want to be a good friend. But, Merrie still stuck because did she get bad hurt when she needed something and did ask and the other lady from before didn't t hear.
I just wanted to say hi and to let you know that there are nice people here for sure and in the outside world too (even though sometimes they are hard to find). And YES Kathy is a really nice and safe person for sure and very, very, very smart. She knows all about us kind of folks and how to help us. Oh ya … and she has very pretty eyes. When you are scared or are feeling alone, you can look at her picture or watch her videos and then you will feel that there is someone good in your world who will not hurt you and who wants to help you.
I hope that Serene can take in your love so that she can learn to love too. She sounds like my Victoria. Lots of anger and hitting out and hurting others. That is because she has been hurt and is scared too but she does not want anyone to know that. Maybe Serene will tell you why she is so angry and hurtful sometime. Hurting is not good for anyone.
I am so sorry to hear that Merrie was so badly hurt. My Squirrel says that maybe some extra special cuddles and a new stuffed animal and lots of ice cream would help. Well, that is what she asks for when she is feeling hurt. Maybe even a stuffed Sponge Bob. That could keep Merrie company and make her laugh.
Remember that you are always safe and cared about here.
I'm finding it difficult to keep up with some of the posters here, in that I can't tell who, in what system, is writing. The reason I would like to know is so my responses encompass what others in that system has said before.
For instance, I think Serene, this poster above here, some of the other littles, ZZMich, Deb, None, a few others are all one system but since I can't really tell I don't want to respond and insult anyone.
I have a suggestion. Or rather, Pilgrim has a great idea of having an avitar. I would put one on ours but I dont know how. Can you maybe give a suggestion to everyone to get one, and maybe a tutorial on how to do it? That way the names can change but everyone will be able to recognize the system.
No. Serene is in my town. I am too shy. I am the one the lady didn't know because I did a typo in my name. We can't talk about none. I don't know these other people but you are very smart for to know that serene is in my town.
i think we have a avatar becuse we have a word press accont.
we acsindelty have 2 becuse we acsidnelty sined up with 2diffrent emails. we we have 2pictures for us depending on whitch email we write from on here. i think 1be our white puppy and 1be a eye. them be from he word press settigs we think.
We used to have a windup koala that played waltzing Matilda. It was very furry. Our sleep kit for when we can't go back to sleep has a stuffed owl and a wolf. We can never remember what we name them, so we stopped trying!
Thank you to T Clark. I am nice and don't like to cause the problems, but so I stay in my plants if someone is mean. The really mean one what scared serene is not loving and she made a blood.
I'm thinking that maybe this is not your name. Maybe you can tell us what your name is. My one little one Squirrel keeps her little stuffed dog – Little Odie – in my purse so it is with us at all times. It sure does make Squirrel happy to know that Little Odie is there. When she is scared she hugs Little Odie really, really, really tight and the snuggles help the meanies go away from her head. I hope that you are talking about head meanies and no one is trying to hurt you right now. That would not be good at all.
Is there someone in your system who can help you? We would sure like to talk to you here and maybe that can help? Sure don't want you to be dead. We have two little ones who worry about dying. That's really scary.
Oh and Squirrel likes SpongeBob too!
ME+WE: hi. Does squirrel also like Patrick? He's funny because he is dopey. They are not to worry about to be dying because you are nice to them.
I am so happy to meet you by name. It really sounds like a lot of stuff is going on inside your town. You have a lot of friends here to help okay. Please just keep coming here and letting us know when you are scared or need help. We are all friends here. We are safe and want to hear you.
We are here for everyone inside including none and serene. I understand that they scare you and that maybe you do not want to talk with them but they are all welcome here okay. Maybe if they talk with us then we can all help each other and maybe there will not have to be scary things happening or blood anymore.
Oh Squirrel LOVES Patrick. He is so funny and goofy looking. We laugh every time we see him. She likes it that he tickles her silly beans. Squirrel likes Gary too. She laughs and laughs when he meows. Squirrel loves kitty cats and would like to have a Gary who meows.
Yes I am nice to my little ones. I feel that little ones are super special and deserve lots and lots of hugs and kisses and special blankets, pillows and stuffed animals and a really safe place to stay.
Do you have a safe place Merrie?
Yes, yes, yes, the bears have told their story now — at least the first one. There will hopefully be lots more than one story to tell…. I'm starting already to work on Story 2 from ANOTHER bear….!!
I'm glad you have 2 bears.
Maybe pretty soon, I'll have 2 bear stories out here too!
Thanks for writing, and I hope your bears are good friends for you.
But, lady in charge with big eyes, if you do put on the Page what I do write then will serene get even madder at me and then I am so sure we will be al dead. There is a body which can't be dead because she's not allowed to do that because the LIB won't let. But the body has bloods and blue bruises from where the mean one did hurt it and I am scared. I live in a garden but the sky turning black and then flowers to be also dead. If you press a x button the letters do go away. It's funny sometime I get a side track.
Thanks for being brave enough to share your name with us. That's a cool name — I like it.
Yes, yes, I do have big green eyes. :). Thank you for looking at my eyes. I hope you can feel warmth and smiles coming from them.
I don't know what Serene will do or feel, but here at this place, you are most certainly welcome to write and to talk and to be part of our group. Serene is welcome to be part of the group too. And I hope she learns to not do anymore of that cutting stuff. Lots of people here have had that problem, and I can say to you that there are ways to help that and to not have to be hurt like that anymore. Maybe Serene or that mean one will have a chance to feel better herself and find new healthier ways to express their feelings.
I don't want anyone to be hurt anymore ever. Not from inside or from outside, so yes, it is good to learn more about how to be safer from that scary stuff. I'm sorry you were hurt and I hope both you and Serene feel better soon.
I'm fine. It's nice of you to try and make merrie feel better, but keep me out of it. Yes, we are in the same town. No, I will not put up a photo.
Thank you for writing — you are very kind for caring about these little bears.
The story of the Saddest Little Bear — well, yes, he starts out feeling very very sad, and lost, and all alone… but then things happen. I don't want to tell the whole story out here, but yes, of course, there are lots of things that the Sad Little Bear does to help his sad sad sad to feel better.
I hope you know how to help your sad sad sad feel better too, Nora.
Same with all the other little bears out there — I hope ALL of y'all know how to help your sad hearts to feel better….
Are yu saf kathy? ar yu saf me we ?? That is skarry!!
Yes, I'm very safe. I most certainly do not belong to any bad people groups and I do not think it is okay to hurt kids. So yep, yep, yep, I'm a safe person. For years and years and years, I've been working hard to help lots of kids get safe from people who hurt them. I think it's important to help as many people as possible to be safe.
Can you say anything more about what you think is scary??
You've asked me important questions, and it's okay. It's super important to figure out who is a helping person from who is a hurter person — that's for sure!
This is strange! I was reading here earlier about when you and ME+WE were speaking with Merrie. It was kind of upsetting my insides when I was reading it and I think I blanked out. That must be when this message happened. And I believe a child was worried about YOUR safety….and ME+We's safety…not asking if you are a safe person. I'm pretty sure you are very loved on my insides Kathy !! And she/he wanted to make sure you were OK.
So…I've never had this happen before, I don't think anyway. To have a child write a message.
aaaaaah, ok — I see now. I read these comments as they come in one-by-one (on my Admin Panel), and I hadn't looked back at the whole page of comments to understand the context. I was a little confused by the question, but I understand now, and yes, there are a few difficult spots on this page. Sorry about that – hmmmm… I'll have a little think about this now. But thank you for checking on me — that's very kind of your littles.
Yes, yes, yes, I am ok. 🙂 . And I'm pretty sure that Me+We is okay, but I'm also pretty sure that she'll be able to answer that for herself. And I hope that Merrie is okay too. How are you now, Merrie??
And Rita — this is the first time, for you, that one of your child parts has written? It's the first time here at DD, that I know of, but have you heard from some of your littles in other ways, other places? If this is the VERY first time your littles have written, you're about to have a real party going on at your house….
How many other folks have littles doing writing things when you don't expect it to happen??!!!
OH boy…. it gets to be a lot of fun when the littles start writing…. I can only imagine what's happening in your head right now, Rita!
Hi Rita and Merrie and all of the inside folks who have been reading and posting here. I am safe no worries about that. I have a bunch of helpers, a great therapist and I have Kathy and my DD community here that I can always talk to and who understand what it is like being an inside/out person. My little ones have only written on here a few times. I think that it is super brave that your little ones have done that. A special shout out to our friend Merrie. We have not watched Sponge Bob in a while. We are going to do that today. Have you been watching Sponge Bob Merrie? Does that help you?
Thank you for letting us know you are safe too. And we are also hoping that Merrie is safe and maybe getting to watch Sponge Bob!
Safety is soooo important for all of us. And it is nice to know we can come here and talk to nice people. Little ones sure do care about others! That's why my littles wrote on here yesterday. I'm not sure who wrote…what their names are, but I'm going to try to find out!
Thank you for being good friends ME+WE, Kathy and Merrie. Hope to talk to you all soon.

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The coldest kickoff since the Gophers moved back outside to TCF Bank Stadium was 23-degrees, against Iowa in November of 2010. We'll be lucky if the high gets that high on Saturday, so fans, and players, are already figuring out how to stay warm for the big game.
Three days until game time and the folks at the stadium store are getting ready.
On Saturday, the store will be full of fans with some looking for warm clothes and others just looking for warm air.
The players will be warmer than you'd expect, because they use heated benches.
Each player gets a hat, head mask, compression tights, long sleeve shirt and hand pouch to keep warm. How much the players wear, though, is up to them. A wide receiver may wear all of it. An offensive lineman, not so much.
"I think as long as I've been here," said Gergely, "there hasn't been one offensive lineman to wear gold gear at a cold game.
The Gophers will also have 70 of those big capes ready on the sidelines for any player who needs some extra warmth.

Project Wildlife is so excited to be participating in San Diego Humane Society's Day of Giving on June 28, 2018!
We hope you can help support Project Wildlife, A Program of San Diego Humane Society and all the life-saving work we do everyday! Project Wildlife is one of a kind here in San Diego. We take in over 10,000 wild animal patients each year, with the goal of returning them back to the wild. From doves and pigeons, to skunks and raccoons, to hawks and falcons, we do our very best to rehabiliate and release.
Without Project Wildlife, many orphaned, sick and injured animals would have no place to go for help. Since our beginning, in 1972, we have dedicated ourselves to lending a hand to these vulnerable animals and providing them with the best possible care. With devoted staff and volunteers, we strive to help these animals and provide free education programs to teach San Diegans the importance of our wildlife, and how to better co-exist with them!
We are excited to share with you that we have a $10,000 match being provided by our generous donors! This means if our team is able to raise $10,000, it will turn into $20,000!! Please help us reach our goal!
Our wildlife is what makes San Diego so special, we are considered a biological hot-spot with our vast biodiversity! Please consider making a tax-deductible gift to help support Project Wildlife- every dollar makes a difference! We truly appreciate your support, as do the wildlife in San Diego!

De spoorlijn Göteborg - Håkantorp - Gårdsjö / Gullspång ook wel Zweeds: Kinnekullebanan genoemd is een Zweedse spoorlijn die langs de Kinnekulle (heuvel) en het Vänermeer in de in het westen van Zweden gelegen provincie Västra Götalands län loopt.

Geschiedenis
In de zestiger jaren werden delen van het traject tussen Gårdsjö / Gullspång en Lidköping met een spoorbreedte van 891 mm verbreed naar 1435 mm. Hierdoor werd doorgaand treinverkeer mogelijk.

Het traject tussen Gullspång en Torved wordt gebruikt door vakantiegangers die langs het traject spoorfietsen (draisine) kunnen huren en zich zo over de rails kunnen verplaatsen. Bij overwegen moeten deze spoorfietsen voorrang verlenen aan het overige wegverkeer.

Geschiedenis Västergötland - Göteborgs Järnvägar
Het traject van de Kinnekullebanan tussen Gårdsjö / Gullspång en Mariestad loopt over het voormalig traject van Västergötland - Göteborgs Järnvägar (VGJ)

Geschiedenis Mariestad - Kinnekulle Järnväg
Het traject van de Kinnekullebanan tussen Mariestad en Forshem loopt over het voormalig traject van de Mariestad - Kinnekulle Järnväg (MKJ).

Geschiedenis Håkantorp - Lidköpings Järnväg
Het traject van de Kinnekullebanan tussen Lidköping en Håkantorp loopt over het voormalig traject van de Håkantorp - Lidköpings Järnväg (HLJ).

Kinnekulle
Kinnekulle is een heuvel of kam gelegen in de provincie Västra Götalands län. De heuvel ligt aan de oostelijke oever van het Vänermeer. Het hoogste punt ligt 306 meter boven de zeespiegel. De Kinnekulle Ring is een populaire buurtracebaan. De historische stad en de kerk van Husaby bevinden zich aan de zuidkant van het Kinnekulle. Koning Olof II van Zweden, de eerste christelijke koning van Zweden, werd hier in 1008 gedoopt op een goed gelegen ten noorden van de kerk.

Spoorlijnen:
 Skara - Kinnekulle - Vänerns Järnväg (SKWJ) tussen Skara en Hönsäters
 Kinnekulle - Lidköpings Järnväg (KiLJ) tussen Forshem en Lidköping
 Mariestad - Kinnekulle Järnväg (MKJ) tussen Mariestad en Gossåter

Exploitatie
Het personenvervoer op dit traject werd sinds 15 juni 2003 uitgevoerd door Veolia Transport (voorheen Connex). In de praktijk reden er ook treinen van en naar Göteborg C en Herrljunga. Veolia Transport zorgde in de treinen ook voor het verkopen van kaartjes. Inmiddels werd bekend dat deze treindienst op 14 juni 2009 voor een periode van zeven jaar wordt overgenomen door Arriva plc.

Long-distance trail
G.E.M. discography
Long Distance (Runrig album)
Long-distance trails (or long-distance tracks, paths, footpaths or greenways) are the longer recreational trails mainly through rural areas, used for non-motorized recreational travelling (walking, backpacking, cycling, horse riding or cross-country skiing).
Any route named as a "trail" (or "way", in the UK) will probably be marked, or identified on a map, but it will usually only be described as "long-distance" if it takes the average user more than one day to travel from end to end. Typically, a "long-distance" trail, way or path will be at least 50 km (31 mi) long, but some in Britain are several hundred miles long, and many in the US are much longer.
In some countries, official "trails" will have the surface specially prepared to make the going easier.
In the UK long-distance paths are simply existing rights of way (over private land) "joined together" (perhaps with specially negotiated linking sections) to make a named route. Generally the surface is not especially prepared (which can come as a surprise to walkers from abroad, who find their distance-covering estimates need to be rethought to take rough ground into account) except in special places such as converted rail tracks, or some "busy" hilly areas where stone slabs are laid to prevent erosion.

Alone with the phone again
The deepening light seeps in my mind
I'm desperate to hear a voice
Can this really be my choice?
I'm fifty and I'm tricky
And I'm sick of being alone
You're twenty-five and pretty
But you're old enough to know
That actions form a pattern
And the heart's the last to know
And I'm waitin' for another friend
Callin' long distance again
My mind is an antique room
There's overstuffed chairs and carpets too
Where nobody ever comes
It's a good place to run away from
And I'm runnin' from a love
With every step I take
And if I can fall for you then
From the last one I am saved
And it's a cold grey wet December
Shity shity day
Calling long distance again
You're dark and your French voice is lovely
And you're bright eyes light the receiver across the miles
I'm listening close and I'm hoping
To learn love, but I don't know how
I'm calling long distance again

Nation's Largest State Homeschooling Association Launches HomeEducator.com
Written by Homeschool News Today in Press Release
LUBBOCK, TX, August 20, 2018 /24-7PressRelease/ — Texas Home School Coalition announces the launch of a new website, HomeEducator.com, widening its scope beyond the state of Texas to equip and encourage all families worldwide who homeschool, as well as young families who are considering homeschooling.
"We believe homeschooling offers a high quality education, which is why we have developed HomeEducator.com to provide a wealth of resources to support people who have made the decision to homeschool, or are considering it," says Tim Lambert, president of Texas Home School Coalition and national expert on homeschooling.
Lambert was recently widely quoted in the media, noting that interest in homeschooling is on the rise as a result of bullying, persistent violence and deadly shootings in public schools. "When the Parkland, Fla., shooting happened, our phone calls and emails exploded," said Lambert.
The safety of home is just one of the reasons behind homeschooling's growing popularity. The National Home Education Research Institute estimates annual growth of homeschooling between two and eight percent, making it the fastest growing form of education. It was estimated in 2016 that from 1.7 million to 2.3 million students in the U.S. are homeschooled. The number is nearly impossible to pinpoint since some states, like Texas, have no requirements for reporting homeschooling activity.
"It's clear that homeschooling is becoming more mainstream," says Lambert. "And we hope to encourage families who are exploring their educational options to seriously consider homeschooling."
Among the offerings on HomeEducator.com are specific resources for homeschooling children with special needs, including the IEP GeneratorTM, which enables homeschooling parents to easily produce a professional, legal document to coordinate the educational goals and progress of their student with special needs. HomeEducator.com also offers advice for others in seemingly difficult homeschooling scenarios, such as single parenting and families where both parents work.
To celebrate the launch of HomeEducator.com, Texas Home School Coalition is making its award-winning magazine, "Home Educator Quarterly," free nationwide until September 15, after which it will be available outside of Texas for an economically-priced subscription. (It will remain free for Texans.) Additionally, all new subscribers receive the free e-book: "25 STEMulating Activities for Future Scientists, Techies, Engineers and Mathematicians."
Texas Home School Coalition Association is the largest state homeschooling association in the United States with more than 4,250 members. Executive Director Stephanie Lambert is available for comment: thsc@thsc.org.

SAP Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (ASE) transaction dumps are incremental backups that will backup just the changes in the transaction log since the last transaction dump. They can be very useful as an alternate to full database dumps.
The transaction log is usually much smaller than the rest of the database, so a dump of the transaction log will also be much smaller than a full database dump. Since transaction dumps are smaller, they also take less time to complete, and can also be done more frequently, for example once every 30 minutes or once an hour, rather than once a day or once a week.
Transaction dumps can also be used to provide backup redundancy. For example, if a full database backup fails or goes missing, you could then restore an earlier good database dump, and then restore a complete set of transaction dumps. The restoration process will take longer, of course, but will still be much better than a lost backup.
You can also use transaction dumps to manage the size of the transaction log. Whenever you perform a transaction log dump, it will purge transactions from the log file. This can be useful is your log file fills up frequently.
How often should the transaction dump be performed?
The frequency with which you should do transaction dumps will depend, of course on the needs of your organization. How much data can you afford to lose? Can you lose 5 minutes worth of data? How about 2 hours? The answer to this question usually forms a good basis for defining the frequency of the transaction dump execution.
Note that if you can't afford to lose any data whatsoever in the event of a disruption or disaster, then you must consider other solutions to backup and recovery, such as clustering, replication or some other high-availability architecture options that can help to ensure minimal data loss.
How do I perform a transaction dump and load?
In normal operations, you will likely have more transaction dump files than database dump files, and it's important to manage them efficiently.

load transaction pubs2 from  "/Sybase/backups/pubs2.tran.bak"
Transaction dumps can provide an important function in your overall disaster recovery approach. By leveraging the smaller size of transaction dumps, you can provide more frequent backups more effectively. You can also enable a level of redundancy to the full database backup strategy.

Q: Is it safe to use window.location in jquery ajax response function wont it be a security thread as its exposed client side im using a jquery ajax code such as this
    url:'userlogin', // the function that process the  mapped url name and matching type is going to receive the data//
        type:'POST',
        data:{user_email:email,user_password:pass},// function to get the value from jsp page and send it to mapped class function//
        success: function(response){// if the backend process is success then the function will run by getting the response as its parameter//
             window.location = "http://localhost:8080/project_law/user_loginsuccess"
                        }
    });

wont it be a security thread as the javascript and jquery urls can be accessed at client side and attackers can take advantage of this success url to access this or anyother url

Q: What other verbs can you use in the sentence "I injected medicine inside the syrup"? The only definition that seems to match is the first one:

*

*To force or drive (a fluid) into something: inject fuel into an engine cylinder; inject air into a liquid mixture.

However, that's pretty general, because it's "into something" instead of "into another liquid", so what other words would you use? I am not saying it's incorrect, but I am thinking there's a better word.

A: When talking about physical objects, it would be unusual to talk about injecting one thing into an object that is in the same phase - solid, liquid or gas. Not necessarily incorrect in terms of definitions, but it does not match natural usage. It's also usually only used for fluids - that is, gasses and liquids. Some solids that have partial characteristics of liquids might also be injected (powders, for instance).
In fact, injecting anything into a liquid is unusual, though as in the definition you may hear about injecting a gas into a liquid.
Often, rather than injecting the fluid into a material, it is injected into a container. For example, injecting cream into a cream cake, jam into a doughnut, or medicine into a vein. Where one of these is common, it might mutate so that you are injecting a liquid into another liquid because it is in that container. So, I would say that it is most proper to say that you inject medicine into a vein, but people will say that it is injected into the blood.
Saying that you added something to a syrup seems to me to be a very unnatural place to use the verb to inject. Instead, I would use to mix, or if another emphasis is needed, to conceal.
(Also, 'inside' is an odd choice of preposition. I would use that to talk about where the act of injecting took place, usually, but even then it's odd. It is used sometimes with inject in the way you are using, but generally to emphasise where the injected substance ends up - especially when it is concealed in a solid object.)
So, depending on the emphasis or the impression you want to give, I would use:

I mixed medicine into the syrup
  I concealed medicine in the syrup
  I added medicine to the syrup

The different prepositions are used with the different verbs. I don't think you could use any of the others with concealed, just in, but mixed could work with in instead of into, and added with into instead of to. The ones above are those I consider most natural.
One final note: injected will usually make people think of it being done with a syringe, if that makes sense in the specific case. As such, some people use the word specifically to suggest the use of a syringe. However, that can't make the word work in all situations. If you were using a syringe, you can indicate that explicitly:

I added medicine to the syrup with a syringe

Blue horizontal-branch stars in the sloan digital sky survey. II. Kinematics of the galactic halo
Edwin Sirko, Jeremy Goodman, Gillian R. Knapp, Jon Brinkmann, Željko Ivezić, Edwin J. Knerr, David Schlegel, Donald P. Schneider, Donald G. York
Astrophysical Sciences
We carry out a maximum-likelihood kinematic analysis of a sample of 1170 blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey presented by Sirko and coworkers. Monte Carlo simulations and resampling show that the results are robust to distance and velocity errors at least as large as the errors they estimated. The best-fit velocities of the Sun (circular) and halo (rotational) are 245.9 ± 13.5 km s -1 and 23.8 ± 20.1 km s -1 but are strongly covariant, so that v ⊙ - v halo = 222.1 ± 7.7 km s -1. If one adopts standard values for the local standard of rest and solar motion, then the halo scarcely rotates. The velocity ellipsoid inferred for our sample is much more isotropic [(σ r, σ θ, σ φ) = (101.4 ± 2.8, 97.7 ± 16.4, 107.4 ± 16.6) km s -1] than that of halo stars in the solar neighborhood, in agreement with a recent study of the distant halo by Sommer-Larsen and coworkers. The line-of-sight velocity distribution of the entire sample, corrected for the Sun's motion, is accurately Gaussian with a dispersion of 101.6 ± 3.0 km s -1.

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, budding lovebirds Dr. Ashley Hart and U.S. Forest Ranger Cole Hawke eagerly anticipate their first date, but an avalanche outside Aspen Falls, Colorado, delays their Friday night plans. Not letting the interruption ruffle her feathers, Ashley opens her veterinary clinic after hours to treat a dog and a falcon for hypothermia after they spent several freezing hours trapped in an icy cave with their caretaker, local historian Jedidiah Stone. She expects the animals to make a full recovery—what she doesn't expect is to learn that Jedidiah discovered a human skeleton during his harrowing experience and the police suspect foul play.
Although Jedidiah seems innocent, Ashley senses he knows more about the bones than he lets on. Unable to determine whether Jedidiah's secrets are sinister or not, Ashley decides she'd better watch the young man like a hawk as he draws her into a tangled web of half-truths and misdirection.
Before long, identifying the bones becomes about much more than laying an unfortunate victim of the elements to rest—it turns into a murder investigation and Jedidiah is the main person of interest. Can Ashley decode the clues that will uncover a killer before her greatest fears are realized? If not, she might become the next person in Aspen Falls to fall prey to a cold-blooded murderer.
Dr. Ashley Hart D.V.M.
Holly Kipp
Melanie Lyons
Cole Hawke
Bruce Peterson
38-year-old veterinarian Dr. Ashley Hart is always up for a challenge. Smart, bighearted, and driven, she jumps at the chance to open her own practice in Aspen Falls. She's thrilled that the residents have chosen her to be their veterinarian, and she looks forward to the adventures she and her Dalmatian, Max, will have in their new home. What she doesn't expect, however, is the menagerie of mysteries that await them in the charming mountain town.
Independent and spunky, 32-year-old Holly Kipp grew up in Gilmore Creek, Colorado, a sleepy town located about an hour away from Aspen Falls. She's always loved animals and decided to marry her passion for pets with her desire to open her own pet grooming business. 3 Alarm Fur is a full-service pet salon located in the town's old firehouse, across the hall from Ashley's clinic, and Holly and Ashley hit it off immediately. Holly enjoys a good conspiracy theory and is always ready to lend a sleuthing hand. She is also a member of the Bookaru Book Club and she never misses a meeting if they're reading a mystery novel.
Social butterfly and owner of the Mountain Goat Coffee Company, 50-year-old Melanie Lyons always seems to know the latest town gossip. Her coffee shop is located next door to the Happy Tails Veterinary Clinic and she befriends Ashley immediately, always eager to discuss her small herd of goats and two pet Barnevelder chickens, Butch and Cassidy.
With a degree in acting and a penchant for drama, Melanie sings in the church choir and often volunteers to be in the town's Old West reenactments and other festivals. But Ashley detects another kind of acting going on . . . Melanie lives next door to the horse farm where the trainer Bruce Peterson was found dead in a stall, and she seems to know more about it than she's telling.
38-year-old Cole Hawke is a U.S. Park Ranger in the White River National Forest. His friends would describe him as good-natured, dependable, and smart, and some would even say he's one of Aspen Falls most eligible bachelors. An avid cross-country skier and mountain biker, he loves the great outdoors and spends as much time in it as possible, both on the job and off. He's a member of the In CaHOOTS Bird Watchers club, and he often takes the unofficial lead on the hikes.
Cole is open to a serious romance but he hasn't found the right woman—until Ashley moves to town. She has a beautiful smile and a spark he can't resist, but he worries about her getting mixed up in the murder of local trainer, Bruce Peterson.
A member of one of the town's oldest families, Bruce was a kind man, dedicated to his job, and one who genuinely cared about the well-being of the horses he worked with. He was loved by all—or so it seemed. But when Ashley discovers evidence that his death was no accident, a cloud of suspicion settles over the town of Aspen Falls. Who would want the talented horse trainer dead? As it turns out, Bruce had a few secrets of his own. Ashley must unleash the truth and catch a thoroughbred killer before the culprit sets his sights on her.
