Fixed: Asana Not Working in Google Chrome
Asana is a powerful and fantastic program that makes keeping track of our work easy and fun. But today, I was faced with a strange issue: Asana was not working in Google Chrome. At first I thought that it was just me being overzealous and wanting Asana to work for me. But after a few minutes, I could not get Asana to work in Chrome.
Asana is a task management platform that allows users to collaborate on, track, and complete tasks. This means that, in a company setting, everybody can work together to complete a task. This is beneficial, because it allows for a more decentralized teamwork approach, and also allows for a more flexible scheduling of individual work hours. Instead of everybody getting stuck in their own respective corners, everyone can work on their tasks and complete them at their own pace.
Asana is a collaboration tool designed to help you stay organized, and to make you a more effective team member. It's built on top of the excellent Atlassian Confluence Software, and is now a Google App, so it's available for all the web, Android, and iOS users.
Asana is an online and mobile tool that organizes, tracks, and manages work for teams. Asana, which is manufactured by the same firm, makes it simple to manage teamwork (Asana, Inc.).
However, even if their network connections are correct, some customers complain that they are unable to connect to Asana on Chrome. Asana is stuck on the loading screen for some users. As a result, Asana isn't always compatible with Chrome or other browsers.
Why isn't Asana compatible with Google Chrome?
Because of ISP constraints, wrong date/time settings, antivirus/firewall restrictions, corrupt/incompatible cache, and Chrome-specific difficulties, Asana may stop operating in Google Chrome.
ISPs use a variety of methods and protocols to limit access to different network functions and services, which can make Asana unusable in Chrome. Switching to a different network (temporary) to see if your ISP is the source of the problem is an excellent option.
The browser cache is where your web browser saves sections of internet pages and stores them on your system's local storage. The cache of a website does not update each time a person views it. Asana may cease operating in Chrome if the cache includes faulty data or inconsistent content.
Due to issues with conflicting user data, login information, or cookies stored on your computer, Asana may stop operating in Google Chrome. Chrome features a built-in feature called incognito mode, which allows you to use Chrome without revealing your personal information. As a result, opening Asana in Chrome's incognito mode may resolve the issue.
Asana may not work with Chrome due to incorrect browser configuration or corrupted browser installation files. It's possible that this problem is caused by a Google Chrome flag setting or something similar. In this instance, restoring Chrome to its default settings might help. Note that this will remove all user data from Chrome and reinstalling will restore the previous status.
What should you do if Asana isn't working in Google Chrome?
Chrome's info is being deleted.
In the upper right corner of the browser window, click the Configure and manage Google Chrome button.
Select the Clear Browsing Data option from the Other Tools submenu.
Select Browsing History, Cookies, and Other Site Data, and Images and Files in Cache in the Clear Browsing Data window.
Select All Times from the Time Range drop-down option.
Then select Clear Data from the drop-down menu.
Firewalls should be disabled.

By Ryan Masters |
PUBLISHED: July 31, 2016 at 12:00 am | UPDATED: September 11, 2018 at 12:00 am
BIG SUR >> Palo Colorado resident Don Curry is familiar with the force of nature. The 56-year-old personal trainer earned a reputation as a big wave surfer in 50-foot waves at Ghost Tree in the 2000s.
So when the Soberanes Fire crested the ridge to the south of his Green Ridge home at 3:30 a.m. July 23 and began crawling down Wildcat Canyon toward Garrapata Creek, Curry recognized there was nothing more that could be done.
"The fire sounded like a jet engine getting ready to take off. It was so intense and hot," Curry said. "I knew my place was toast. It was time to go."
Curry methodically brewed coffee, took a shower and shaved. He packed his big wave guns, guitars, photography equipment, photo albums and important papers into his truck. He hooked his 1947 Willys Jeep to the back of his truck and said goodbye to his TR6550 Husqvarna motorcycle. Then he drove down Palo Colorado Road and away from his house of the last six years for the very last time.
Hours later, Curry's home became the first outbuilding lost to the Soberanes Fire.
"You never really expect something like this to happen to you," Curry said a week later, sitting on a weightlifting bench in his Carmel business, Ghost Tree Training. "But there's been so much loss. So many people have been affected. You don't really have time to worry about yourself."
Curry's 14-year-old daughter, Scout, was worried about her dad, however; and she wanted to do something to help.
"At first I wanted to go fight the fire, but I decided I should probably do something more safe so I went with a bake sale," Scout said.
Three days later, Scout and her friends Karen Serkutan, 14, and Jenna Balint, 14, had raised more than $4,000 by selling baked goods from a table set up at Rio and Mission Fields roads in Carmel.
"At first the plan was to give the money to my dad, but he wouldn't take it," Scout said.
The three girls, who will be entering Carmel High School as freshmen in the fall, decided to donate the money to kids who have been affected by the fire.
"We want to make sure they have clothes and school supplies and everything they need for when school starts," Scout said.
According to Scout's mother, Marcy Curry, neighbors, friends and community members have been donating the baked goods.
"We'll be here until we run out, but that may be a while. We think we're done and then someone comes by and donates more," said Karen.
While Don Curry has lost a great deal to the Soberanes Fire — historical surfing photographs and memorabilia, Persian carpets, legacy furniture — he has also gained a few things.
"The support I've received from everyone is just overwhelming," he said. "And I really couldn't be any prouder of my daughter."
As for the future, Curry is unsure whether he will return to the denuded Green Ridge, which, like the rest of the steep, fire-ravaged area, could be highly unstable after rain.
"The next catastrophe will be mud," Curry said.

Cheryl Sanchez is a regular attendee at the Solidarity Vigil that has been maintained outside the Ecuadorean Embassy by the Julian Assange Defence Committee since 2012.
She was attending the vigil because "Julian Assange needs all the support he can get. He has done a great job as a journalist exposing the war crimes of the criminal state of the USA plus her friends. It is important that we come here and stand up for free speech, stand up for journalism, stand up for a publisher who has given us so much information.
"Julian Assange is not a criminal. Julian Assange is an international hero who deserves a Nobel Prize for peace.
"I started coming down here when there were the problems in Venezuela. WikiLeaks has provided all this information and provided safety for whistle-blowers and shared it with us for free. And they have risked their lives for it. I haven't seen the last person to do that in a long time.
Asked why she thought Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and other politicians who claim to defend democratic rights have not spoken out in defence of Assange, she replied, "Their careers." She added, "I think he can't do these things because if he does, he may just lose the leadership of the Labour Party. It seems like the Labour Party just cannot get rid of the Blairites and all the deep-state people. Blair is still there hovering around in the background like Dracula and they are all dancing to the tune of Israel and the Zionist lobby. Unless they can get free of the Blairites, I think that party will end up getting dissolved.
"I think there have to be more protests outside the US and Australian embassies to let them know that we know they are all complicit in trying to frame up Julian Assange. They are trying to get him in America under the Espionage Act of 1917. It is 'lawfare,' using the law as a weapon.
Paul is from London and said, "I'm here because we have a political prisoner who has been effectively denied his liberty in the centre of London for almost 10 years. His position has already been made clear by the UN Special Rapporteur for several years that there is absolutely no excuse for his effective detention. His conditions of life are being made worse and absolutely intolerable. It is disgraceful and it saddens me that we don't have people [here] every single day.
"I came to the last rally in August. I had to come here again as I feel so strongly about it. Although I'm not a member of the Socialist Equality Party, I'm very much in sympathy with everything they stand for. I saw the advert for this on the WSWS. It's the most important thing I could be doing.
"We owe so much to Julian Assange and Wikileaks. Our understanding of the world would be so much poorer had it not been for the work of WikiLeaks over the years.
Asked his thoughts on the jailing of Chelsea Manning, Paul said, "It's extraordinarily courageous" and a "very brave and remarkable gesture on her part. It's not something she could take lightly given that she had already spent years in jail. She is writing her name in history … and she will get out again and continue fighting as we all must. We have to oppose these dreadful wars and all this secret stuff being done in our name with our tax money, like the undermining of legitimate governments.
"The idea of a secret grand jury [that Manning refused to give evidence before] is just weird. Justice that isn't seen to be done is not justice. Anyone is supposed to be able to walk into any court room, as a member of the public and observe. That is a democratic right. No one is under an obligation to testify in a way that might incriminate themselves. That is a basic part of our criminal law and has been for hundreds of years.
Daniel is from Italy and lives in London. He said this was the first time he had attended a protest in defence of Julian Assange. "I am interested in the fate of Julian Assange. Journalists have power to bring news to people and they have great responsibility. They have to bring the truth and not just some garbage to sell. So those journalists who are not doing their job are also helping to keep Julian Assange in here. They are not real journalists. They are just people doing what they told to do." He continued, "That is why you now have more and people getting their news though the non-mainstream media.
Asked his view of the recent rallies in Australia, Daniel said, "They have been very effective, and I think they should be recurring events. We have to protect Assange and get him out because the world is going very bad for everyone.
Jamie Ewing lives in Portugal and said, "It's disgraceful the way the political powers, big money and the media are doing things held illegal by the United Nations, under our noses.
"The more support we generate on the streets in support of Julian Assange, like the yellow vests [in France], the more the government is likely to listen.
"I'm a life-long Labour supporter, but I feel like giving my membership up because Corbyn hasn't supported Assange. All his life he has been a speaker for human rights, and it's shocked me he's gone so quiet.
Peter from Norway is 28. He said that he was attending the vigil "to learn more," and "to see how many other people feel the same way.
"Assange has done so much good, they're saying [the exposures of WikiLeaks] are the only true journalist work in the past period.
Asked what she thought of the role of the establishment media in the fate of Assange, she said, "It shows how the media can contribute to the persecution of people, it's a tragic situation. It is important that people understand how we must be skeptical of what we're being told in the mainstream press. Here we have someone [Assange] who is providing a wealth of true information, making it available and then leaving it up to us to decide what to make of it. That is the real role of objective journalism. Give us the facts and let us decide.
"I've been following WikiLeaks and Assange for years but only when I came to the embassy and saw with my own eyes did I realise, 'Wow, this is almost unbelievable, how he's being treated.' To think that somebody, for doing the good that they're doing, could be persecuted in this way! When this happens to someone, you have to defend them. I think ordinary citizens, and especially real journalists, ought to be out here.


Washington's Secretary of State, Kim Wyman has many duties. The most important of these is overseeing our elections. The Secretary of State is also the keeper of the State Seal of Washington, responsible for its official use.
My first experience with the office of the Secretary of State was in 2007. My son was in the third grade at Boston Harbor Elementary School. As part of a civics lesson, his class proposed that the Pacific Chorus Frog be named as the official state amphibian. The class successfully moved the proposal through a series of hearings and ended up in the Secretary of State's office, where all the official state symbols are housed. At that time, Sam Reed was the Secretary of State and Kim Wyman was serving as County Auditor.
Wyman had returned to Washington State with her husband after living in California. He was stationed at JBLM in the 2nd Ranger Battalion. Their plan was to move back to California when his service was over. Wyman was working in the County Auditor's office in their records division under Reed. When Reed decided to run for Secretary of State, he asked her to take his place as County Auditor. Wyman loved her job and was ready for the challenge, but first had to convince her husband to stay in Washington.
Her rain-averse husband made her a deal. "Buy me the fastest street bike currently on the market and we can stay," offered John Wyman. She promptly bought her husband the bike and took the appointment as County Auditor. Following that appointment, Wyman was elected to the office for four consecutive terms.
When Reed decided to retire as Secretary of State in 2012, he once again thought of Wyman as the most qualified to take his place. She was elected in 2012 and became only the second female to serve as Washington's Secretary of State.
Kim greets young guests at the a Memorial Day celebration. She enjoys engaging with young people the most in her role.
As a follower of elections and politics, I assumed Wyman had been introduced to politics at an early age and was perhaps "politically connected." Nothing could be further from the truth. "I didn't meet an elected official until I was 30 years old," Wyman explains.
One of her favorite parts of the job is meeting with young people still in elementary or high school. "I love going into a classroom and telling the students that I was once in their shoes and had no idea what I wanted to do as a career," shares Wyman. "Especially for young women," she adds, "I love to plant the seed of possibility." Wyman believes students can be whatever they set their minds to if they just follow their passions and apply themselves.
Wyman is passionate about public service. "I am responsible for protecting democracy and take that job very seriously," she explains. In addition to overseeing elections in the state, Wyman testifies on bills affecting the election process. Every day in the office is different. The day I met with her, Wyman was welcoming the Boys & Girls Club Youth of the Year to the Capitol.
When Wyman is not working in the office and carrying out official state duties, she heads out with her husband on their motorcycles. Now a few years older and slightly less adventurous, they settle for leisurely rural rides on a couple of comfortable touring bikes as opposed to the racing motorcycle she bought for John years ago.
Empty nesters now that their two children are grown, the couple enjoy exploring the beautiful state of Washington together. Son Jordan is pursuing an engineering degree at Saint Martin's University. Daughter Renee followed in her father's footsteps and is embarking on a military career. After completing her undergraduate work at Gonzaga University in Spokane and earning a law degree at Seattle University, she will be a JAG officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.
Wyman keeps a picture of her daughter in a marine training exercise on her desk. "She is muddy, laden with equipment and crawling under a fence," Wyman tells me. "When I am having a difficult day, I can look to the photo, and it reminds me that I can get through anything," she shares.
It is this attitude that will no doubt help her through her current challenge. Wyman was recently diagnosed with colon cancer and is undergoing treatment. Recently, she wore a bright green pair of her son Jordan's socks and they brought a smile to her face that day.
To support Wyman throughout her six weeks of radiation she has asked that Washintonians wear their own bright and crazy socks, posting a picture of them on social media. Show your support with a photo of your sock clad feet and post with the hashtag #wymanrocksthesocks.
I feel confident that Kim Wyman will be healthy again soon and ready to serve the people of Washington fully in the job she loves as our Secretary of State.


Spotify is planning to launch a mobile version and launch in the US, it has been reported.
Founder of the online music service Daniel Ek has commented "we want to be everywhere", according to BBC News.
However, those who want to download the service will reportedly have to pay a charge – a £9.99 subscription is currently available in the UK which blocks adverts.
Plans to expand across the Atlantic were also discussed, with Ek remarking: "My hope and ambition is that we'll see something at the end of the year, maybe the beginning of next year, in the US".
Spotify was launched in the UK last January and contains around three million tracks.

1/24/23 – Assessment work was mostly completed before winter weather set in. We are waiting for results of that sampling, which will inform the update of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for the site. The amended CAP will be submitted to the VT Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for their review/approval. Once that is done, we will prepare bid specs for the removal of the slab and put that out to bid, likely late spring/early summer. Separately, once spring arrives, the remaining exterior work for the first part of the demo project (the LBL exterior wall and the roofing material on the north end) will be completed.
11/8/22 – Work has resumed at the site in the last few weeks. Stone Environmental is doing additional assessment work of the slab, including soils underneath. When completed, they will amend the existing Corrective Action Plan, which will be submitted to the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for review/approval this winter. Costello is completing punch list items from the demo project. We are still hoping to do repairs to the LBL exterior wall on the south end of the site (so the bracing can be removed) as well as removing the roofing material on the north end prior to the end of the year.
10/5/22 – The project has been the victim of the workforce shortage, impacting the firms that work at the site. We are hoping to have punch list items completed before winter, as well as work on the south exterior (LBL) wall, to allow for the removal of the braces. We also are trying to complete removal of the roofing material on the north end roof. Assessment work on the now-exposed slab area will continue, leading to an amended Corrective Action Plan for the site over the winter. Once that is completed, and approved, we intend to move forward with the removal of the slab.
7/18/22 – The removal of the former boiler house has been completed and on-site work is on hold until August. When work resumes, it will focus on punch-list items as well as likely removal of the roofing material (not the deck, the material) on what remains of the north end of the building. Here are some pics of the boiler house demo project –
6/21/22 – Demo work is underway to remove the former boiler house. (Click on the links to see short videos)
BH demo
6/15/22 – The demo contractor is back on site this week, remobilizing to resume work on taking down/removing the former boiler house (the brick building in the back, on the river side), starting later this week. They hope to have that completed, as well as final cleaning of the remaining slab, by the 4th of July.
5/10/22 – Our demo contractor will not be on site until June due to staffing challenges.
4/27/22 – Due to challenges with remobilization, on-site work will not start until early-mid May.
4/18/22 – On-site is expected to resume next week, starting 4/25.
3/31/22 – An addendum to the update from earlier in the week. There are also crews working along the river-side of the property, doing ongoing sampling work related to the NAPL (non-aqueous phase liquids) on the site. This is a related, but separate, project from the overall Demo/Cleanup.
3/28/22 – At this point, it appears that on-site work will resume around 4/18. Note that there are other crews on/near the property doing testing related to the Town's pending water project on Clinton Street.
2/9/22 – Site pics from today – February 9, 2022. The powerhouse has been demolished this week (the bricks in the pic, which will taken off site asap). The brick building that is standing is the former boilerhouse (see interior pics of what is left of the boilers – doors have been removed/saved), which will be taken down in the spring.
Click here for FAQ about the J & L Project!
2/8/22 – Demolition of the former boilerhouse and powerhouse has begun this week. including the removal of the boilers before the buildings are taken down. This will continue off and on, likely not concluding until the spring, when water is easily available again. Other than this, work will be mostly demobilized on the site until warmer weather.
1/28/22 – Remediation work is nearly completed in the former boilerhouse section. Removal of that building will be dependent upon weather.
Here's an interview SRDC's Bob Flint did this week on WCFR Radio about the J & L Project.
12/27/21 – The number of workers at the site have been reduced for winter work. This week, bracing will be installed on the northern/exterior wall of LBL Fabrications in preparation for the removal of the remaining steel beams after New Year's. Remediation work will continue in the former boilerhouse and cafeteria space. Fencing will be installed, likely in the next few weeks, on the south side of the portion of the building that remains (the north portion) to help secure that area.
12/13/21 – This will likely be the last full week of active outdoor activity (depending on weather) at the site for the winter. The small building that served as the entry to the former (underground) cafeteria will come down this week and work will continue on cleaning the slab, equipment pits and other areas of the site. Removal of building debris will also continue with a goal of having most of the piles gone by the end of the week. Preparations are underway for winter conditions for the work that will continue (specifically the ongoing remediation of the boiler house). There also is continued preparation for a temporary fence/shield for the southern portion of the northerly section of the building that remains as well as options for the south end, including possible removal of the remaining steel beams.
12/2/21 – The on-site work this week has consisted of continued removal of building debris and site cleanup, to complete as much as possible before work pauses for the winter (likely around 12/15). Engineering work continues on the south end separation from the LBL Fabrications portion of the building, including consideration of how best to stabilize that area ahead of a winter shutdown, should timing not permit full completion of that work.
11/22/21 – Most of the demo work, for the season, has been completed at this point. The remaining work before winter (including this week) will consist of continued load out of building debris and site cleanup as well as ongoing engineering work for the south end separation from the LBL Fabrications portion of the building (which remains!).
11/15/21 – Facade removal/demolition began today and will continue this week. Debris removal will continue as well as site work to sever/cap any unused piping that was formerly used for utilities. Contingency plans are being developed in anticipation of the arrival of colder weather and how/when a winter shutdown for site work will be implemented. Prep work will continue on the eventual separation of the remainder of the current building and the south end (the LBL Fabrications side).

11/11/21 – Work on the site will finish for the week today. The facade demolition is now scheduled for next week. Debris removal has continued from the site as well as other interior demolition.
11/11/21 – A video showing some of the work to date from our demolition contractor – Costello
11/8/21 – The Clinton Street facade/wall will start coming down this week, possibly as soon as tomorrow (11/9). Debris removal will continue to be trucked away this week and other building demo will continue. The south wall separation (from the current building to the addition that is now LBL Fabrications) is delayed for at least a week. The boiler house remediation/demolition is also on hold, pending completion of other work at the site.
11/3/21 – Some pics below of the work this week so far, including the work to remove windows in preparation for taking down the Clinton Street facade.
11/1/21 – Windows are starting to be removed on the Cilnton Street side of the building, in preparation for the start of demolition of the facade (going from north to south), possibly starting as soon as late this week. In the meantime, interior demolition will continue, progressing to the south and west. Our estimate is that roughly 60% of the former building has been taken down to date. Trucks will continue to remove material from the site throughout the week.
10/25/21 – Current plans for the week are to continue interior demolition from north to south and circling around to the former heat treat area. Remediation will continue within the former boiler house and the stack is expected to come down by mid-week.
10/22/21 – Two pics from today below – both taken from the perspective of the former door to the building on the east side, by the former electrical building, looking towards Clinton Street). Today's work was focused on removing the material from demolition – 3 loads left today.
10/20/21 – Work this week is focused on the northern half of the building, working from the middle in both directions, removing the building (the facade on Clinton Street will be last to go, possibly waiting for more of the building behind to be removed). Trucks are taking material away from the site. A reminder that AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY are allowed on the site – past the fence. We would ask for adherence with that and we will continue to post updates here or can answer any questions – 802-885-3061 or bobf@springfielddevelopment.org
10/15/21 – Pics from yesterday – progress on separating/removing the north end as well as in the back.

(those are short video files)
10/13/21 – It has begun! (these are short video files of the start of the demo work). Also posted a short video to the SRDC Facebook page.
10/12/21 – Building demolition work is expected to start tomorrow on the back/river side of the building, focusing on the separation points between the current building and LBL Fabrications as well as the area between the north/office portion that will remain and the rest of the building. Remediation work will be continuing in other areas of the building/property, including the former boiler house and electrical building.
10/7/21 – The perimeter fence has been installed and additional site work has continued this week (which includes construction of a temporary road behind the current building) as well as asbestos remediation of the former boiler house. The current plan is to begin building demolition at some point next week.
9/30/21 – Site work has been proceeding this week, including the clearing of brush/trees and creating a temporary road (behind the building) for trucks that will be removing material from the site. Installation of a perimeter fence has also begun and should be completed in the next few days.
9/24/21 – The grant agreement with the State was signed this week and contracts should be executed by the end of the day today. So, with that in mind, here's our current TENTATIVE timeline –
Week of 9/27 – Site prep work – fencing installed around the current building as well as brush removal and preparation of the temporary road behind the building.
Week of 10/4 – Remediation of former boiler house (behind the main building) begins
Week of 10/11 – Building demolition work begins
This is all very fluid and could shift in either direction! As we know more specifics, we will update this page.
9/17/21 – Here is the video of our briefing to the Springfield Selectboard on the J & L demo/cleanup project from their meeting this week (9/13/21).
9/16/21 – Audio of today's Brownfield announcement at J & L Plant (courtesy of WCFR) –
9/16/21 – Here's the press release from the Governor's press event in Springfield today – https://www.springfielddevelopment.org/gov-scott-state-local-officials-highlight-25-million-in-new-state-funding-for-remediating-redeveloping-brownfield-sites/
9/13/21 – Due to delays in the execution of grant agreements and contracts, work will not begin this week. At this point, site work hopefully will start the week of 9/20, with building demolition activity starting in earnest in October (likely towards the middle of the month).
– Governor Scott will be at the site for a press event this Thursday (9/16) at 11 am
– We will be briefing the Selectboard at this evening's meeting on the demo project.

UTEP Knocks Off Washington State 64-51
The UTEP Miners went into to Pullman, WA Saturday night, and walked away with a solid 64-51 victory over the Pac-12's Washington State Cougars.

Kevin Jairaj-USA TODAY Sports
The Miners jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead, held Washington State scoreless for nearly five minutes, and never trailed in the program's first non-conference road win outside of the state of New Mexico since March 25th, 2009.
Vince Hunter, who led the Miners in scoring for the night, put them on the board first with a free throw in the early going. A John Bohannon jumper and a McKenzie Moore three quickly gave UTEP that early six point lead.
Washington State would finally get on the board at the 15:01 mark off a D.J. Shelton jumper. Buckets by Que Johnson and Junior Longrus moments later would knot the game up at six, but that's as close as the Cougars would be the rest of the night.
UTEP would respond with a quick 12-4 run to push their lead to eight with 5:31 left in the first half, and would eventually lead by as many a 11 at 28-17, a margin that they would take with them into the locker rooms.
The second twenty minutes started much the way the first did, with the Miners using a quick spurt to pad their lead just a bit. UTEP outscored WSU 6-1 in the first two minutes of the second half, pushing their lead up to 16 with 18 to play.
That 16 point margin would be the largest the Miners would own on the night, and they would hold it on four separate occasions, but the Cougars just simply would not go away.
In fact, Washington State would close the lead to within eight two times in the final four minutes, but couldn't get any closer than that, and the Miners would eventually shut the door on their 64-51 victory.
Vince Hunter led the way for the Miners, finishing with 15 points and 8 rebounds in 25 minutes of action. Julian Washburn finished with 14 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists with no turnovers, and McKenzie Moore had 13 points and 5 assists.
Que Johnson, who led all scorers on the night, was Washington State's leading scorer, but unfortunately he was the only one who finished in double digits. He had 21 points and 4 rebounds. D.J. Shelton chipped in with 9 points and 11 rebounds.
The Miners were able to hold WSU to just 33.9% from the field, while shooting 51.2% themselves. They also controlled the boards for the majority of the game, despite losing that battle 35-34, and they also committed just 9 turnovers.
The win, no doubt, is a huge one for the Miners. It was a much needed boost for a team that is still in the process of finding themselves. This, hopefully coupled with a couple more non-conference wins, should be all that this team need as they head into conference play.
Up next, they'll take on Montana State, Monday at 7:05 p.m. MT in the Don Haskins Center.

In today's innovation- and research-rich world, we need to share complicated messages with a wide range of readers, such as granting agencies, colleagues, stakeholders and the public.
On the one hand, the density of our writing styles has spiralled out of control. On the other hand, our attention spans are getting shorter. We don't want to pore over every word to find meaning.
Documents written in plain language offer a win-win solution for readers and writers. They convey information simply and clearly, they broaden the reach of the message, and they are easy to understand.
In this webinar, Sylviane Duval will present the background to literacy and plain language. She will illustrate some basic principles at the sentence and structural levels with practical examples. These principles you can take away to improve the clarity of your writing style—and ultimately, your message.
Sylviane Duval is an independent consultant focusing on knowledge transfer, research navigation, and business/soft skills training for scientists.
Her clients are mostly university research networks and knowledge-based organizations. They benefit from a reliable, results-oriented partner who cuts through barriers so they don't have to.

Back in 2000, no tippers at all were built in Blackburn. Today, 16 years later, it's the No1 tipper town not just in Lancashire, but anywhere in the UK.
With three factories on Blackburn's Shadsworth Industrial Estate, Thompsons' northern enterprise now produces more tipper bodies than even at the company's long established home base in Croydon.
Looking after the new paint facility is Eduardo Vieria, who joined Thompsons last year and a professional vehicle painter all his working life. For shotblasting, Nigel Bird has come to Thompsons after 20 years service with Bolton – based Edbro. Their results are immediately impressive, with tippers now emerging with a higher than ever level of finished quality.
Of key significance, Thompsons can now provide its customers with a complete start – to – finish bodybuilding service that starts with a bare chassis being delivered into its factories and subsequently emerging 100% complete and ready for work.
"Today, customers simply want everything done by us in-house. No matter however detailed or complex their specification, they want every part of the build process to be done by Thompsons. The days are now gone when a truck would go to one company to have one item fitted, then to somewhere else for any additional items, and then to a third to have it painted.
Investing in plant and equipment might be one thing, but to achieve these results Thompsons Blackburn absolutely relies on its people – with its factory headcount steadily growing in direct proportion to the scale of its business.
Phil Sutcliffe himself joined Thompsons last year from another Lancashire tipper bodybuilder – and has already brought his previous workplace colleague Arthur Wright to join the Blackburn team as Workshop Foreman. Earlier this year Paul Moss was promoted to Production Assistant at Blackburn Site 1, whilst Matthew Shields takes on a specific responsibility for cranes.
With its three factories in Blackburn in close proximity to each other, the whole production process can therefore be made as streamlined as possible.
As a result, Site 1 is principally engaged in fitting incoming chassis with tipping gears and cranes. Site 2 is where the bodybuilding actually takes place and the bodies are mounted to the chassis. Completing the process, Site 3 is primarily for paint, with a key additional activity at this most recent facility being the fitting out of truck chassis with skiploader and hookloader equipment.
Managed by Dave Lees and supported by Shaun Thompson, the eParts activity has just recorded its first £1m of sales. To build further on this unique service, the eParts stockholding area at Blackburn 3 is now being expanded to provide over 50% extra floorspace.
Rounding off its most recent appointments, Megan Williams has just joined the Blackburn team as Human Resources and Health and Safety Assistant. On a placement year from her Business Management course at Sheffield University, Megan's ambition is to join Thompsons full time in her chosen role with responsibility for all HR and H&S issues over the whole company.
Completing Blackburn's two year investment programme, the finishing touches are now being applied to a new suite of hi – tech offices at Site 3.

Q: CQRS event versioning
Versioning
  If your events changes you would create a new version of that event, and  keep the old ones. To keep your domain code form being bloated with handling of all versions of  events you would basically introduce a component that converts your events from previous  to newer versions, and then apply them on the domain. Remember that events are things that actually happened in your domain so in most cases the information in deprecated events are valuable.

I still haven't found any example of this.
Any help?

A: There are two main ways to handle event conversions. Both happen during event deserialization :

*

*You can add new classes with version numbers (SomethingHappened, SomethingHappened2, SomethingHappened3). The deserializer will instanciate and populate the class, the pass it to a converter to get the same event in its higher version, here SomethingHappened3.
One of the problem is that you'll have to update also event handlers to use the last version of the event.
To mitigate this, you can use a convention that SomethingHappened is always the last version. When going to v2, rename SomethingHappened as SomethingHappened1 and create a SomethingHappened that will be the v2. To do that you need to have control on the classes created from serialized event since the serialized class name will not contain the version number, you should store it aside.

*Instead keeping every version of the classes in your code, the converter will receive a Document (a tree, like an Xml document or JSon object) and will modify it to provide information needed to build the last version.
All this depends on the control you have on your deserialization pipeline.

ANCYL wants Tshwane comrades who launched 'steaming campaign' against Covid-19 arrested

The ANCYL crisis committee has called for the arrest of its Tshwane comrades.
This, after the Tshwane REC launched a steaming campaign to combat Covid-19.
The committee has called the REC an illegitimate eldership masquerading as young people.
The ANC Youth League (ANCYL) crisis committee, has called for the arrest of its Tshwane regional task team after it launched a "steaming campaign" as part of combatting Covid-19.
The crisis committee - a body not recognised by the ANC leadership - launched an attack on the Tshwane leadership, calling the regional executive committee (REC) an "eldership" masquerading as young people.
In its statement, the crisis committee lambasted the REC in Tshwane for what it said was a "Peter Pan" syndrome which caused its eldership to be a danger to the organisation and to the public.
"The ANCYL crisis committee has resigned itself to the fact that these adults who illegitimately lead our organisation are perpetual children mentally. Therefore, in the interest of the organisation and society at large and in line with the Disaster Management Act, we call upon the immediate arrest of the entire illegitimate REC of the ANCYL in Tshwane for peddling fake news and putting the lives of young people in danger," the statement said.
DEBUNKED | The truth about quack Covid-19 treatments and 'cures'
News24 previously reported that the Tshwane REC launched what it called a "steaming campaign" in which people were encouraged to "embrace an old African remedy which comes at no cost".
It advised people to steam two to three times a day, "whether we tested positive for Covid-19 or not".
"Steam using eucalyptus oil, Vicks and hot stones. The virus becomes paralysed under extreme heat. Let's stop circulating fake news and conspiracy theories and save lives."
In a second message, the ANCYL in Tshwane punted "Covid-19-fighting pH foods", which included lemons, garlic, avocados, mangoes, tangerines, oranges and pineapples.
"Note that the pH of coronavirus varies from 5.5 to 8.5. Therefore, all we have to do to eliminate the virus is to consume more alkaline foods above the acidity level of the virus."
This, as President Cyril Ramaphosa warned against the spread of disinformation concerning the Covid-19 vaccine rollout.
The claims about using an alkaline diet was debunked by Reuters, which noted the list of "alkaline" foods were, in fact, acidic, not alkaline.
ANCYL Tshwane spokesperson Nicholas Gongolo Munyai told News24 that, while the organisation subscribed to steaming, its poster on eating alkaline foods was sent out "prematurely" and was withdrawn immediately.

The Committee for the Future in Finland has published an interesting document called 100 opportunities for Finland and the world. Here is a Finish take on how to explore the market opportunities of the future.
The prices of oil and gas are going down, as are Norwegian investments in the petroleum-sector. Norway has an urgent need to replace jobs and exports with new and prosperous businesses.
We know that innovation is the right answer. We also know that in order to succeed we need breakthrough technologies matching future customer needs. However, the question of how and what to innovate leaves us with multiple choices.
Innovation Norway often finds that project proposals lack an idea of future markets. For many of our customers technology is a more concrete parameter than future customer needs and market opportunities. In order to succeed companies will have to pay attention to future customers.
To help navigate this complex landscape of market opportunities and technological opportunities, the Committee for the Future in Finland has published an interesting document called 100 opportunities for Finland and the world. The report is a tool for a radical technology inquiery into anticipation and evaluation of technological breakthroughs.
This tool could help us identify the radical innovations and technologies of the future.
The Inquirer is also a huge source of recent information relevant to innovation policy. The about one thousand Internet sources listed were crowdsourced. They were then reviewed as a basis for an updated overview of possible technological breakthroughs, matched with future market opportunities.
The Finnish tool presents twelve analytical parameters focusing on how new technologies might fit into future markets.
One and the same technology can be used for many different purposes and the same technology can have impact in several value-producing networks. In addition, the technologies can be ranked in ways that allows us to see which technology sectors are in need of more sales promotion, where we need more research and product development, or which technology sectors require more support via domestic pilots.
There is also a focus on the customer knowledge in different export areas. The potential of the technologies are examined from the point of view of customer knowledge, and takes into consideration how easy it is for businesses to access the clientbase of the new technologies.
The fourth analytical parameter describes the possibilities that scientific basic research opens up for technological breakthroughs. The advancement of science is an important factor contributing to more radical technological changes. In most cases, it takes years or even decades from the time of a scientific breakthrough before the first applications come on the market.
The non-linear impact of basic research both on the level of the radical technologies as well as on the level of global value-producing networks is analyzed. A key observation made in this study is that attempts should be made to shorten this delay by increasing the communication between researchers and the appliers of technology.
Global value-producing networks (GVPN) (20).
The first area is the global value-producing networks (GVPN). They represent clusters of demand and needs of citizens in areas of change created by global megatrends.
The second area consists of 100 different radical technologies listed under eleven main areas for innovation making the life of customers better and more sustainable and effective. The interaction between technology and market development may be connected.
The Finnish study also combine all these 100 possibilities by evaluating them against Finland's national skills and national access to the markets of the individual Radical Technological Solutions. The report is prioritizing the opportunities for Finnish businesses.
The Inquirer needs to be updated and promoted at regular intervals.

Q: Is it grammatical to say "this food is comfortable"?
"the food is comfortable"

The person who said it meant "the food made me feel comfortable". My initial instinct was that "this food is comfortable" is incorrect.  However, since "this couch is comfortable" is acceptable in everyday usage, then why can't "food" be used in the same way?
I tried to think of other nouns which feel wrong in that context, e.g. "this atom is comfortable", or "this abstraction is comfortable", and they all feel like incorrect sentences to me.  So it seems like maybe some nouns can be used in this way, but not others?
For the record, we can say "the cat is comfortable", so this question is about inanimate objects.

A: It's not innately ungrammatical, but it doesn't convey the meaning you want to convey.  To convey that meaning, I would change "comfortable" to "comforting," i.e.:

"The food is comforting."

A: Comfortable, when it describes objects or places, tends to refer to physical comfort (softness, temperature, ergonomics), and this sense may be jarring when applied to food.  I will quote most of the Merriam-Webster Dictionary entry for comfortable (adj.):

1a : affording or enjoying contentment and security // a comfortable income
b : affording or enjoying physical comfort // a comfortable chair // was too comfortable to move
2a : free from vexation or doubt // comfortable assumptions // Lamb was comfortable in his ignorance of what he did not choose to know.— James Mason Brown
b : free from stress or tension a comfortable routine // stayed at a comfortable distance from the crowd

Your friend used comfortable in sense 1a: the food affords contentment and security, or a kind of abstract comfort. In comparing it to the couch is comfortable, you insist that the food example should be read through the lens of sense 1b, physical comfort. Does usage follow your intuition?
In a corpus search, a collocation search for "(something) (something) is comfortable" will tend to turn up objects of physical comfort. For the Corpus of Contemporary American English, I've categorized the results with 2 or more entries, excluding names. There are:
Words related to people

*

*who

*everyone

*everybody

*patient

*student

*teacher

*child

*skier

*artist

*daughter

*son

Words related to spaces

*

*room

*interior

*weather

*space

*design

*itself ("the bridge itself," "the cockpit itself")

Words related to objects

*

*ride

*seat

*keyboard

*shoe

*fabric

*grip

*bike

*shirt

So in non-unique results, people, spaces, and physical objects dominate. Physical comfort seems the predominant usage when applied to objects or spaces, rather than abstract security or comfort.
Does "food is comfortable" appear? Not in that corpus or in the larger News on the Web Corpus. It does appear on the web - about 23 results on Google for "food is comfortable" compared to about 439,000 for "shirt is comfortable." Based on the corpus results and the dictionary, I suggest people will use comfortable far more often to refer to physical than abstract comfort, and food is in the odd situation of being physical but giving abstract comfort. So you can say "the food is comfortable," but it is rare and potentially confusing as people try to decide precisely how you sit on or wear your food.

A: "The food is comfortable" is indeed proper grammar, but I doubt it conveys what you intend since it refers to the food being comfortable more directly, implying that you're perhaps wearing it or living in it.
Compare to "this is comfort food" (food you eat to attain a feeling of familiarity and/or safety) or "I feel comforted when eating this food" (a similar meaning) or "I am comfortable eating this food" (you do not feel regret or social awkwardness eating it, so it's not a taboo food, you're not worried about making a mess, etc).
Saying "the cat is comfortable" is also valid. It implies the cat is relaxed (perhaps it has found a comfortable place to sit) or else you're comfortable snuggling against the cat.

A: You need to change class of your input element, from "searchTerm" to "txtSearch".
Or change all 'txtSearch' in function to 'searchTerm'.

Q: I was recommended to accept an answer before it was possible When voting up an answer to a recently asked question, you are reminded that you can/should accept the answer even though the time limit isn't up yet.

From this question on meta.SU.

A: I don't view this as a bug.
We're just letting you know the capability is there. And just because you get an answer within 10 minutes doesn't mean it's a good idea to accept it so early.
Fine as-is.

To revert to the default UI guild window. Go to your /UI/ProfitUI folder and delete eq2ui_mainhud_guild.xml.
go to post #8, Download that guild file, put it in your profitui folder and see if it fixes the problem.

Accuser: Weinstein Got Scary After Threesome Rejection
Depp's Latest on Heard: She Pooped in My Bed
Actor firing back at ex-wife, saying she was the 'perpetrator' and he was the 'victim'
By Jenn Gidman, Newser Staff
Posted May 21, 2019 8:25 AM CDT

(Newser) – The ball was in Johnny Depp's court, and he just hurled it. Following a $50 million defamation lawsuit the 55-year-old actor filed earlier this year against ex-wife Amber Heard, the 33-year-old actress offered her rebuke in the form of an April motion outlining what she says was a litany of abusive incidents at the hands of Depp. Now, new court filings from Depp, in which he calls Heard the actual "perpetrator" and himself the "victim," detailing multiple incidents that he claims show Heard was the abusive one, per USA Today and the Guardian. "I never abused Ms. Heard or any other woman," Depp says in the filing, which his lawyer says is "packed with new evidence." Depp claims that Heard would get hopped up on a cocktail of booze, OTC meds, and prescription amphetamines, which is when she would become abusive and violent toward him.
Among the accusations Depp is lobbing at Heard: that she threw a broken glass bottle at him and severed his fingertip; often threw TV remote controls, burning candles, soda cans, and paint thinner cans at him; and even defecated in his bed as a "sick prank." He submitted pics with his filing showing his "black and puffy eyes and scratches," per USA Today; the Blast has the photos. Depp also claims Heard once came to a courthouse to get a temporary restraining order against him sporting "painted-on bruises." The Guardian notes that Depp's latest allegations were prompted by Heard asking a Virginia judge to dismiss his lawsuit. In a statement to People, Heard's attorney offered a firm reply to Depp: "The evidence in this case is clear: Johnny Depp repeatedly beat Amber Heard," calling Depp's latest allegations "increasingly desperate attempts ... to revive his career" with "baseless litigation."

I don't CARE what he did to whom or when; just give me another run of Jack Sparrow! Life is too short to squabble.

Between the two if them, I believe Depp. She's a maneater, trying to ruin his career, I think there's something mentally wrong with her. Deeply wrong.

About Art Deco Style

Art Deco glass is highly collected today, especially signed pieces by the most famous makers.
Glassmaking in the Art Deco era reached new heights of quality and invention, in the hands of artists such as René Lalique, and Daum Frères.
The Daum Frères factory were already very well known for their Art Nouveau glass, but they also produced a significant amount of work in the Art Deco style. Lalique remains the master of Art Deco glass and was a major figure at the 1925 Paris Exhibition "Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes".
Many of the glassmakers of the Art Deco period used the techniques of pressed and moulded glass which adhered to the machine aesthetic and made glass affordable for all. However, these techniques were developed to create high quality glass well suited to the sculptural forms popular at the time, and usually hand finished. New colouring and acid-etching techniques were employed to create entirely new and original effects.
René Lalique was particularly fond of opalescent glass, which has a milky opal-like appearance often with a subtle blue tint. He made panels of opalescent Art Deco glass for the Normandie and the Orient Express.
Other Major Manufacturers of Art Deco Glass
Other major manufacturers of opalescent glass of the time include the French glassmakers Baccarat and Sabino, Tiffany in the USA and the British Frederick Carder.
Another glassmaking technique was revived from ancient Egypt. "Pâte de verre" was a technique using moulds filled with crushed glass and metallic oxides, heated until the glass fused. Once cooled the piece would be hand finished. This process was used with wax moulds for unique pieces or reusable moulds for limited editions.
Major glassware designers who used this process were Almeric Walter, Décorchement and Argy-Rousseau. The use of coloured enamels to decorate glass pieces, especially perfume bottles was popular with artists such as August Heiligenstein, Jean Luce and Marcel Groupy.
A great deal of glass was made at the Wiener Werkstatte before 1925, for example the decanters produced at the Lobmeyer Factory. After this, and with the breakup of the Bauhaus, many designers emigrated to the USA taking the machine aesthetic, and their geometric angular designs with them. They had a significant influence on glass makers in the USA such as Tiffany.
Scandinavian glass makers also responded to the Art Deco style, often creating very simple but classic designs using black and clear glass. One of the major Scandinavian glass artists in the Art Deco style was Simon Gates at Orrefors, who employed deep cutting techniques and abstract circular motifs.
In the 1930s during the Great Depression, many glass manufacturers, particularly in the United States geared up for mass production of glassware, which meant that huge quantities could be made by moulten glass being piped in tubes into moulds and literally hundreds of pieces per hour could be made. They were very cheap and cheerful, but came in bright colours which lifted the mood in those Depression years from which this glass got its name. Depression glass was made with Art Deco geometric motifs and styles, but in lower numbers than some of the more common styles, and these are now becoming collectable in their own right.
