Casey McQuiston on Nora Ephron, History Nerds, and Full Circle Moments at her Library
by Brendan Dowling on July 16, 2019
Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue spins an irresistible premise— what if the son of the U.S. President fell in love with the Prince of Wales— into one of the summer's most pleasurable reads. Alex Claremont-Davis breezes through life as the son of the United States' first female President, but he's brought up short by a contentious relationship with the straight-laced Prince Henry. After a disastrous run-in involving a Royal wedding cake, both men must pose as friends in order to rehabilitate their images. This false friendship soon uncovers very real feelings, and the two men unexpectedly find themselves falling in love. What follows is equal parts swoony romance and adept political comedy that has delighted critics and readers alike. The New York Times called it an "exquisite debut" and Vogue gushed that "it's a truly glorious thing to live inside the world of this book and to imagine it becoming reality, too." McQuiston spoke to Brendan Dowling via e-mail on July 15th, 2019. Photo Credit: Raegan Labat.
The book is such a funny and deeply satisfying romantic comedy. What were the romantic comedies or romance novels that were important to you as a reader?
I'm a huge Nora Ephron fan—one of the first movies I can remember seeing in the theater was You've Got Mail—so her entire body of work has always been a huge inspiration for me. I also absolutely adored 10 Things I Hate About You, Notting Hill, and 13 Going on 30 when I was younger, and I still have a soft spot for classics like Roman Holiday. I have to confess that I didn't spend my formative reading a lot of romance—I was always more into genre fiction and picking out pairings I liked from within those works—but as I've grown as a writer and found my niche, I've had a blast catching myself up with romances by authors like Taylor Jenkins Reid, Alyssa Cole, Helen Hoang, Heather Cocks, and Jessica Morgan.
One of the real pleasures of the book is how fleshed out the supporting players are. Even if we only meet them for a few sentences, we get a full sense of their life. What is your process for creating characters?
I probably spend way too much time crafting my characters instead of drafting in the early days of a project, but I just love doing it too much. I usually start with a basic idea of what the character's personality is going to be—maybe inspired by someone I know or know of, maybe just completely made up—and assign them some basic shorthand character trait categories: zodiac sign, MBTI, Hogwarts house, et cetera. Then I sort of work backwards from there. What made them that way? Where are they from? How did they get from there to here? What part of humanity that I love do I want them to embody? What kind of jokes would they make? What tropes can I infuse into them? And the answers to those questions start to make a character.
The book gives us such a detailed view of the behind the scenes worlds of The White House and Buckingham Palace. What was your research process like?
A lot of Googling! I read some dry nonfiction about the first family and the royal family through history, and then spent a lot of time perusing an unofficial White House museum website that contains detailed maps of every floor and history of each room (shout out WhiteHouseMuseum.org). I pored through the Royal Collection's online database, took many virtual tours of the V&A, referred back to my own memories of Kensington from the time I spent in London in college, so much more. It was a lot of jotting down anything that interested me or felt like it might be useful for the plot, and then hodge-podging it all together into something that worked. The goal was to make this incredibly inaccessible world feel lived in and easy to imagine.
When Alex and Henry e-mail each other, they frequently quote from the love letters of famous queer people. How did that detail find its way into their story?
When I decided to write a queer story that would have major international ramifications and change the history of the world it's set in, I knew I couldn't do it in a vacuum. As a queer person and a history nerd, I wanted this story to feel rooted in queer history, for both of my leads to be totally aware of what their relationship meant in the bigger picture of the world, to dig into the millions of people like them who were erased from their own histories and their own narratives. So the letters evolved out of that—I always knew I wanted Henry to be this great writer of love letters, and it sort of naturally followed that he would be a scholar of them and share that with Alex. Using the excerpts was my way of framing them as a bigger piece of an ongoing history.
The book takes place in an alternate 2019 where we have a totally different First Family in the U.S. and Royal Family in Great Britain. How did you balance including which real life things were still in this world (like Senator McConnell, for example) versus the characters you totally created?
An early reviewer of my book described it as being a quarter turn away from reality, and ever since, I've always liked to picture that as what this reality is. I wanted this to be a book full of hope and optimism and escapism that also didn't pretend that the things that led us to 2016 would magically be fixed if a different person was in the White House. So we still have a long history of institutional oppression, we still have terrible politicians and Fox News, but we also had just enough things go differently (it's subtle, but in the book there's a mention of Democrats maintaining control of the Senate after Obama's election) for us to have some different outcomes. It was all about drawing a line that could make this world still real and relatable, but also make it believably hopeful.
You just finished your book tour for the novel. What was that experience like?
Incredible! Everyone I met on tour was so incredibly kind and generous and supportive and really carried me through all the emotional highs and lows that come with debuting a book. My tour schedule brought me to three different Prides in three of the biggest cities in the country—Los Angeles, Denver, and Houston—and it was amazing to get to be a queer person promoting a queer book surrounded by other queer people celebrating and rebelling and standing up for what's right. I'm so very, very thankful for the summer I've had and for the love people have shown me in every city I've hit. That energy is going to power me through the rest of the year.
What role have libraries played in your life?
I can't remember a time when libraries weren't a part of my life. I remember being a kid racking up late fees and spending days at summer programs at the public library by my house, skipping recess to stay inside my elementary school library, spending hours and hours camped out in my college library getting distracted from my exam outlines to work on my own stories. They've always represented endless possibilities to me, and they've always been this sort of goal on the horizon—I always wanted to have a book in one, one day. When I had my first big call with my agent and now editor to discuss a potential deal for my first book, I took a lunch break and drove out to my childhood library and sat in my car in the parking lot to have the conversation, just to feel that full circle moment. So, yeah, libraries have been everything to me. I think they're one of the great symbols of communities being, at heart, generous and good.

The Montreal Sessions is a collection of recordings around a residency at CKUT Radio in july 2011. While the two sound pieces of the first cassette were produced as a duo in CKUT's on air studio, cassette II and III each contain a solo piece and a field recording by each artist.
The three cassettes come in a unique hand made fabric case with map details.
CASSETTE I (AJ+EM) - Side A : "and now we go outside..." // Side B : Vociferous vocalizations using id m theft able's "Poems" or "indeterminate compositions" or "doodles" to be "rendered aloud" or just "looked at"


The economic incentives of work absence are empirically studied using a panel of Swedish blue collar workers, both men and women, that either are married or living with a spouse as married. A model for the daily absence decision is derived from standard economic utility theory. An estimable form for the annual number of absence days ist obtained by considering the data generating process in some detail. The model is estimated, using the first two moments, with a generalized method of moment estimator. The panel structure of the data is explicitly considered and a positive dependence between the number of days absent in the two time periods is found for females. A one per cent increase in the cost will lead to a decrease in the mean number of days absent by 1.8 days for females and by 2.7 days for males.


These two cases concern ten Somali nationals who, having seized vessels flying the French flag off the Somali coast, were arrested by the French authorities and subsequently transferred to France, where they were prosecuted for acts of piracy.
The applicants in the first case are Abdurahman Ali Samatar (application no. 17110/10), born in 1984, and also Ismaël Ali Samatar, Abdulqader Guled Said, Mohamed Said Hote, Abdullahi Yousouf Hersi and Daher Guled Said (application no. 17301/10), born in 1981, 1978, 1962, 1987 and 1978 respectively.
The applicants in the first case were implicated in the hijacking of the ship "Le Ponant" off the Somali coast on 4 April 2008. On 5 April 2008 the Somali Transitional Federal Government (TFG) sent a diplomatic note to the French authorities, authorising them to enter Somali territorial waters and to take all necessary measures – including the proportionate use of force – in the context of the crisis.
The applicants were arrested on 11 April 2008 by the GIGN (the national gendarmerie's task force) in Somali territory and placed under military control on board a French ship, until, on 15 April, the Somali authorities gave their agreement to the suspects' transfer to France. They arrived by plane at 5.15 p.m. on 16 April 2008 and were placed in police custody. On 18 April, they were presented before an investigating judge and placed under investigation.
In the second case, the applicants are Yacoub Mohammed Hassan, Cheik Nour Jama Mohamoud (application no. 46695/10) and Abdulhai Guelleh Ahmed (application no. 54588/10), who were born in 1983, 1979 and 1975 respectively.
Following the hijacking of the French yacht "Le Carré d'As" off the Somali coast on 2 September 2008, these applicants were arrested by the French navy on 16 September while they were within Somali territorial waters.
On 2 June 2008 the United Nations Security Council had adopted a resolution authorising, for a six-month period, the States cooperating with the Somali TFG in the fight against piracy to enter Somali's territorial waters and use there all available means to repress acts of piracy and armed robbery. The applicants were placed under military control on the French ship "Le Courbet".
On 23 September 2008 they were transferred to France by air and placed in police custody on their arrival. On 25 September 2008 the applicants were presented to an investigating judge and placed under investigation.
Ruling on appeals by the applicants in both cases, the Investigation Division of the Paris Court of Appeal held that the suspects' arrest and administrative detention pending placement in police custody had not been contrary to Article 5 of the European Convention on Human Rights, having regard in particular to the exceptional and insurmountable temporal and geographical circumstances in these cases. Appeals by the applicants on points of law were dismissed.
Relying on Article 5 § 1 (right to liberty and security), the applicants in the case of Hassan and Others allege that their detention by the French military authorities from 16 to 23 September 2008 had no legal basis.
In both cases, relying on Article 5 § 3 (right to liberty and security), the applicants complain that they were not "brought promptly before a judge or other officer authorised by law to exercise judicial power" after their arrest by the French army in Somali territorial waters / on Somali territory.
Ahmed (Hassan and Others) and the applicants in the case of Ali Samatar and Others also complained, under Article 5 § 4 (right to have lawfulness of detention decided speedily), that they did not have access to a court to challenge the lawfulness of their arrest or detention until they were placed in police custody in France.
Ahmed also alleges that his rights under Article 5 § 2 (right to be informed promptly of the accusations against him) were breached. Samatar, relying on Article 6 § 1 (right to a fair hearing), complains about the fact that the Court of Cassation relied on "insurmountable circumstances" to justify his detention, without having permitted adversarial argument on that point.

There's a fix for that!
Whether caused by a virus, a new operating system or by simple mistake, being faced with an "Operating System not found" or similar error during your computer system's boot up can be a nerve rattling experience. Assuming you have Microsoft's Window 7 installed however, do not fear, such a boot error can often be resolved in just a few simple steps.
In many cases, having Windows 7 fail to boot may be as simple as having your BIOS set with an incorrect boot order sequence. It can be quite common if you have more than one hard drive installed in your computer and your BIOS gets reset. Usually you can access your BIOS seconds after your computer turns on by pressing the Delete button or by pressing a specific function key. Once in the BIOS, check to see that your system drive is listed appropriately in the boot order sequence; you may need to refer to your motherboard manual for help.
Another possible reason for Windows not being detected upon start up is a hardware issue. If your BIOS is unable to detect your system drive, check to make sure all the cables are plugged in properly. If your hard drive is making an odd noise, such as a clicking sound, your hard drive may be broken. Finally, it is possible that the hard drive is having data corruption issues, which has damaged important system data, such as the Master Boot Record (MBR). If you suspect a faulty hard drive, it may be a good idea to backup and scan your hard drive for errors from another computer and possibly consider buying a replacement. Trying to repair a boot problem on a damaged drive can possibly lead to even more data loss, so backup your data before attempting anything.
The MBR and other important boot data can also be damaged by trying to install an earlier version of Windows, such as Windows XP, alongside Windows 7 and by third-party programs, such as viruses. In the case of a virus, it is recommended that you run a virus scan of the drive before attempting any repairs as otherwise it could lead to more data loss. It is further possible to achieve the appearance of damaged boot data by having the wrong drive partition set to active, which can be the outcome of an overly curious Windows user with administrative permissions.
Fixing the MBR and other start up problems in Windows 7 is most quickly accomplished by using the Windows 7 Installation DVD. If you do not have a Windows 7 Installation DVD however, you can alternatively use a Windows 7 System Recovery Disc, which we will show you how to create further down in this article. If you do not yet have either a Windows 7 Installation DVD or a recovery disc, do yourself a big favor and make a recovery disc right away to avoid any unnecessary headaches down the road.
Step one: Turn your computer on, booting from either your Windows 7 Installation DVD or Windows 7 System Recovery Disc. Remember, you may need to change the boot order inside your BIOS to have the your DVD drive boot first.
Step two: After the installation or recovery disc loads, if prompted, select your language settings and then continue. If you are using the installation DVD, when prompted by the following screen select Repair your computer.
Step three: The computer will take a moment now to scan itself for any Windows installations, after which you will likely be given a choice to select which installation you wish to repair. Select the appropriate Windows installation from the list and then continue. If by chance a problem is detected in one of your Windows installations at this initial stage, the system may also ask you if it can try to repair the problem automatically. It is up to you if you wish to let the system try to repair itself, but otherwise just select No.
Step four: Once you have reached the System Recovery Options screen, as shown below, you will be faced with a list of choices that can aid you in repairing a damaged Windows 7 operating system. If you wish to try the Startup Repair option first, it is often successful in automatically fixing many different start up issues, but in this article we will be using the Command Prompt option to resolve our problems manually. So, click Command Prompt to continue.
If successful, you should be greeted with the message The operation completed successfully. That's it! Your Master Boot Record has been repaired.
*Some users also find simply deleting the boot folder and retrying the above steps effective at resolving boot issues, but it is not recommended.
Upon purposely changing the active partition on my system drive, I was faced with a BOOTMGR is missing error during my system's start up that prevent Windows from starting. It is a common mistake to make when playing with partitions on a system drive and it can be a headache to solve if not prepared. To change your active partition back using the Windows 7 recovery disc or Installation DVD, follow the steps below.
Step one: Follow steps one to four in the above guide. This should take you to the Command Prompt in the Windows Recovery Environment.
Step two: Type DiskPart and then press Enter.
Step three: Type List Disk now and then press Enter. This command will list all disks attached to your computer and assign them a disk number.
Step four: Type Select Disk x, where x is the number for the disk containing the partition you wish to make active. Press Enter.
Step five: Type List Partition and then press Enter. You will now be shown a list of the partitions on the selected disk. Determine which partition you wish to make active.
Step six: Type Select Partition x, where x is the number of the partition you wish to make active.
Step seven: Now, just type Active and then press Enter. That should be it - the selected partition is now active.
Windows 7 makes it easy to create a System Recovery Disc if you already have Windows 7 installed and running.
Step two: Insert a blank CD or DVD into your disc drive.
Step three: Click Create disc and let the program do its thing.
That's it! It only needs to write about 140- to 160-megabytes to the disc, depending on whether your OS is 64-bit or 32-bit, and that should only take a minute. If you do not have a CD/DVD-R drive to create a recovery disc with, you can alternatively download the ISO image of the Windows 7 System Recovery Disc and use it to make a bootable USB flash drive.
Step one: If you do not have a DVD drive, download the appropriate Windows 7 Recovery Disc image from Here. You will need a torrent client for this step, such as µTorrent. Alternatively, if you have a DVD drive, you can use an existing Windows 7 Installation DVD or a Windows 7 Recovery Disc when at step seven.
Using a Windows 7 Installation DVD at step seven will also allow you to install Windows 7 via USB, not just recover a damaged system; very useful if you have a netbook!
Step two: Open a command prompt with administrative rights. To do this, click Start > All Programs > Accessories and then right click Command Prompt, followed by clicking Run as administrator.
Step three: After accepting any UAC verification questions, you should now be at the command prompt. Make sure your USB flash drive is plugged in and then type DiskPart, followed by pressing Enter.
Step four: Type List Disk and then press Enter. Determine which disk number corresponds to your USB flash drive. In the following scenario, Disk 1 corresponds to our USB drive since we know our USB drive has a capacity of 2-gigabytes.
Step five: Enter the following commands in order, changing the disk number to the disk number listed for your USB drive. Warning - the following commands will erase everything on your USB drive or the disk you select.
Step seven: You will now need to copy the contents of the ISO image you downloaded, or the contents of a DVD you wish use, to the USB flash drive. There should be two folders and a file in the ISO image that need to be copied. To extract the files contained within an ISO image, you will need to use a program such as WinRAR. You can download WinRAR from here.
Step eight: Now that the files are copied, we will want to make the USB drive bootable. To accomplish this however we will need to download a small file called bootsect.exe; it can be downloaded from here or here. The file can also be found in the boot directory of the Windows 7 Installation DVD. Once downloaded, place the bootsect.exe file in the root directory of your USB flash drive.
The bootsect command will update the target volume with a compatible bootcode. If all goes well, you should now have a bootable USB recovery drive; just remember to add the USB drive to the boot list in your system's BIOS for it to work upon start up.

I wanted to make sure to post this way before lunch. Beware: It's totally gross, but it's also kind of fascinating at the same time. The Academy of Natural Sciences dipped a bunch of hissing Madagascar cockroaches and maggots in paint and let them take off across the canvas to create their own vibrant, abstract masterpieces. The whole thing is caught on tape (above) and serves to highlight the Academy's upcoming Bug Fest, taking place this Saturday and Sunday, August 9th and 10th. The weekend event is a chance for the museum to show off its immense bug collection. There will be cockroach races, a bug parade, and insect-centric craft booths. Get the full lineup here.

Q: How does DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN work? I have been reading this documentation and I understand based on the Oracle doc, you can access Oracle XML by assigning ACL to a host DB user. I am having difficulty understanding how to get this to work.
 BEGIN
 DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.CREATE_ACL(
 acl => 'testacl.xml',
 description => 'test xml',
 principal => 'PYTEST',
 is_grant => TRUE,
 privilege => 'connect');
 END;
 /

BEGIN DBMS_NETWORK_ACL_ADMIN.ASSIGN_ACL
 acl => 'testacl.xml',
 host => 'host ip address',
 lower_port => 80);
 END;
 /

I created this successfully, I tried
select * from dba_network_acls;

HOST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOWER_PORT UPPER_PORT
---------- ----------
ACL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACLID
--------------------------------
host ip address
        80         80
/sys/acls/testacl.xml
404314DC2946ECE1E053106210330FC1

So obviously it has created the xml file. I went to the sys folder but can't find acls folder.
All this is done on a linux machine, via sqlplus. My ultimate goal is to get something like shown in
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14259/xdb16fol.htm#BCJBHCBJ
Figure 20-4.
I want to be able to navigate through the DB folders of this machine if I copy pasted the http://host:port  on the address bar, but obviously I am missing something which is why I am asking here.
Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what needs to be done to achieve this?

Perfect Shim Punch and Die Sets On Trinity Brand Industries, Inc.
Our newly designed and patented, Perfect Punch & Die Set® comes from extensive surveys with Tool & Die Makers and Machinists who use this type of product. They suggested that the punching surface be enlarged to accommodate larger shims and gaskets. Also, they asked that the smaller, most used punches be at the front of the set to allow maximum use of the surface area. Our new design offers those changes as well as other distinct advantages over any other Punch & Die Set on the market.
Ready to Use Out of The Box - the accuracy you expect when purchasing a quality tool. No need to "size" each hole before using the TBI Perfect Punch & Die & Set® (Other sets require you to punch thru the plastic several times to align the holes. This process could crack the plastic before your set is ready to use). All of our sets are tested at the factory to insure perfect alignment.
25% Larger Surface Area - in fact our 4-3/8" x 3" surface allows you to punch a 1/4" hole up to 3-3/8" from the edge of a shim or gasket. All other sets are limited to less than 3/4" from the edge for the same size hole!
More Stability - larger punches are located closer to the center of the die for greater stability when more force is needed to punch the larger holes.
Heavier Cast Acrylic Top - our plastic acrylic top is made from extra heavy cast acrylic material (25% thicker than any other punch & die set). This will ensure an accurate line for the punch and helps eliminate cracking and breakage.
Heavy Duty Carrying Case - protects your punches from nicks while keeping your set secure in this sturdy carrying case.
Trinity brand industries punch & die sets are offered in both English and Metric sizes.

Tsai Ming-liang (chinois :  ; pinyin : Cài Míngliàng), né le  à Kuching, en Malaisie, est un réalisateur taïwanais.

Biographie
Tsai nait en Malaisie et y passe les vingt premières années de sa vie dans la ville de Kuching. Il part ensuite pour Taipei (Taïwan) étudier les arts dramatiques et le cinéma à l'Université Culturelle de Chine. Il commence sa carrière comme producteur pour le théâtre. Il écrit ensuite des scénarios et réalise pour la télévision de Hong Kong plusieurs moyens-métrages sur l'adolescence dont Tous les coins du monde en 1989 et Les Garçons en 1991.

Ses films sont produits par le studio officiel du Kuomintang, le central Motion Pictures Corporation, le même qui produisit les premiers films de la nouvelle vague taïwanaise.

Il passe au cinéma en 1992 avec Les Rebelles du dieu néon. Il devient peu à peu une des valeurs sûres de la seconde vague taïwanaise en offrant une vision pessimiste de la société. Il s'intéresse à la difficulté de communiquer et d'aimer à travers des adolescents perdus.

Il réalise en 1994 Vive l'amour, une réflexion sur l'amour qui reçoit le Lion d'or à la Mostra de Venise. Il poursuit avec le drame La Rivière, couronné de l'Ours d'argent à Berlin.
En 1998, il aborde la science-fiction avec The Hole, sélectionné au Festival de Cannes, qui confirme son talent.

En 2001, Tsai Ming-liang réalise Et là-bas, quelle heure est-il ?, également sélectionné à Cannes. L'année suivante, il signe le court métrage Le Pont n'est plus là puis le poétique Goodbye, Dragon Inn.

Il revient en 2005 avec la comédie musicale La Saveur de la pastèque qui se démarque de ses films précédents.

En 2006, il réalise I Don't Want to Sleep Alone qui se passe en Malaisie.

En 2009, il réalise Visage — film hommage à la Nouvelle Vague — au musée du Louvre avec Fanny Ardant, Laetitia Casta, Jean-Pierre Léaud et son acteur fétiche Lee Kang-sheng. Ce film est sélectionné en compétition au  Festival de Cannes.

À partir de 2012, il réalise une série de films destinés à être montrés dans des musées avec le personnage du Marcheur ou Walker, inspiré du moine bouddhiste Xuanzang et interprété par Lee Kang-sheng, qui marche avec une extrême lenteur dans différents environnements.

En 2013, son film Les Chiens errants, drame intimiste sur l'errance d'un père et de ses deux enfants dans les rues de Taipei, obtient le Grand Prix du Jury à la Mostra de Venise.

À l'automne 2022, le Centre Pompidou organise une rétrospective de son œuvre à l'occasion de la sortie dans les salles françaises de Days.

The first clinical experience with the new GORE® septal occluder (GSO).
Søndergaard L1, Loh PH, Franzen O, Ihlemann N, Vejlstrup N.
The Heart Center, Rigshospitalet University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark.
A new GORE® septal occluder (GSO) was granted CE mark in Europe in June 2011 for the treatment of patent foramen ovale and atrial septal defect. Major changes have been made to the device and delivery system compared to the HELEX® device. The new delivery system has simplified the implantation procedure and the retrievability of the device after deployment if needed. The design of the GSO has improved the device apposition ability and tissue response whilst keeping its atraumatic design, low septal profile with minimal septal distortion and long-term biocompatibility. The first three clinical cases of GSO use in the world are briefly described and the immediate and short-term outcome of the first eleven patients who underwent PFO or ASD closure using GSO in our centre are reported.
The mean age of the eleven patients was 53±9 years and six of them were women. Ten of these patients had patent foramen ovale and one had secundum atrial septal defect. In all the cases, the GSO devices were successfully deployed in the first attempt without any complication. Only one patient had a minor residual shunt detected immediately after the device deployment. All the patients were re-assessed 70±33 days later and no residual shunt was detected in any of them. One of the patients had an episode of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. There was no device fracture found in the six patients who also had a fluoroscopic examination during follow-up.
Our initial experience with GSO shows promise in handling and occlusion rate. Larger-scale and longer-term outcome on the performance of GSO is required to ensure safety and efficacy.

Packers sign QB Scott Tolzien to active roster
WR Alex Gillett signed to take Tolzien's spot on practice squad
The Green Bay Packers have signed QB Scott Tolzien to the active roster from the practice squad and signed WR Alex Gillett to the practice squad. The transactions were announced Wednesday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.
Tolzien (toll-ZEEN), a 6-foot-2, 213-pound third-year player out of the University of Wisconsin, was signed to Green Bay's practice squad on Sept. 2, where he spent the first nine weeks of the season. He entered the league as a non-drafted free agent with the San Diego Chargers in 2011. Following the 2011 preseason, Tolzien was claimed off waivers by the San Francisco 49ers, where he was a member of the 53-man roster for both the 2011 and 2012 seasons, but did not appear in a game.
Gillett (jill-LET), a 6-foot-1, 214-pound rookie out of Eastern Michigan, signed with the Packers as a non-drafted free agent on May 22 and was with the club until he was released on Aug. 26. He played in 45 games with 33 starts during his college career, with 30 of the starts coming at quarterback and three at wide receiver. Gillett will wear No. 1 for the Packers.

The Neugebauers: Got a Job!
I'm officially employed! I will be working at DownEast Outfitters as an HR assistant. I started working there about 2 years ago while I was going to school. I enjoyed working there and had a great manager that took the time and effort to make working there one of the best experiences I have had. She took such an interest in me and trained me to be a temporary manager while she went on leave. When I was done working in the Ogden store, I didn't think I would go back.
Cimaron got a job as a reporter for The Spectrum in Cedar. I knew that leaving Salt Lake meant that I wouldn't have many opportunities for a job in HR and I ended up applying for a manager position at the DownEast Outfitters in Cedar City. I managed that store for 4 months until Cimaron got a job offer at the Salt Lake Tribune and we decided to move again. Even though I didn't want to look for another job, I was excited that I would be able to apply for jobs that were related to my degree.
Finding a "related" job was more difficult than I expected. I had an opportunity to manage at the Gateway store but told them that I wanted to try to get a job more related to my degree. I felt sick turning down a job, but now that we were back in Salt Lake I felt like I owed it to myself to at least try before I took something that I wouldn't be satisfied with. Luckily, the lady who was interested in having me manage a store told me about an opportunity with DownEast in their HR department. So, I applied for the position. It took a while before I got an interview. I applied for several other positions while I waited and heard nothing back from them. Eventually, I landed an interview with DownEast, and now I've got the job. I am so glad that I didn't treat my first job with DownEast as if it didn't matter.
um hello! congrats! you are so amazing! do they pay pretty well?? look at you rock the world. miss you!


My Wheaten painting is back from the photographer. The painting, prints and custom prints are available on my web-site http://www.kenbailey.com.
The is was a fun painting to do. I'm excited about the product, Irish Soda Bread, sometime known as Wheaten Bread. This bread and Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers are from Northern Ireland originally. The dog and the bread were of the peasants. Nobility didn't tend to have this breed.
I also love the profile of these guys. And now I'm realizing I'm painting most of my dogs lately in profile because dog profiles and noses are fun and interesting.
The painting is going to be used by my licensing partner ProjectArt LLC for handbags and shoes.
I've made this bread before. It is easy and real good. It doesn't use yeast so there is no worrying about the rise.
Like the painting of the wheaten terrier. As someone originally from Norn Iron (Northern Ireland) and who actually has a wheaten terrier..I have to say that the how you describe soda bread and wheaten bread is incorrect. These two breads are very different. However, understand the confusion, wikipedia is wrong with how it links soda and wheaten bread as one in the same.
Incidentally, my wheaten terrier is called Soda.
Sorry, I missed your comments for so long. I didn't use Wikipedia for this information, it was from some Irish focused food sites and blogs. I like food, so the research is fun. I found several referrals to wheaten bread being a form of Irish soda bread. One called it whole wheat soda bread or something like that another called it fadge. All seemed to have soda as the leavening. Not having first hand knowledge please help me with the deifference.

Remarks by President Obama at Memorial Service for Former South African President Nelson Mandela
First National Bank Stadium
1:31 P.M. SAST
Thank you. (Applause.)
To Graça Machel and the Mandela family;
to President Zuma and members of the government;
to heads of states and government, past and present;
distinguished guests
-- it is a singular honor to be with you today, to celebrate a life like no other. To the people of South Africa -- (applause) -- people of every race and walk of life -- the world thanks you for sharing Nelson Mandela with us.
His struggle was your struggle.
His triumph was your triumph.
Your dignity and your hope found expression in his life.
And your freedom, your democracy is his cherished legacy.
It is hard to eulogize any man -- to capture in words not just the facts and the dates that make a life, but the essential truth of a person -- their private joys and sorrows; the quiet moments and unique qualities that illuminate someone's soul. How much harder to do so for a giant of history, who moved a nation toward justice, and in the process moved billions around the world.
Born during World War I, far from the corridors of power, a boy raised herding cattle and tutored by the elders of his Thembu tribe, Madiba would emerge as the last great liberator of the 20th century. Like Gandhi, he would lead a resistance movement -- a movement that at its start had little prospect for success. Like Dr. King, he would give potent voice to the claims of the oppressed and the moral necessity of racial justice. He would endure a brutal imprisonment that began in the time of Kennedy and Khrushchev, and reached the final days of the Cold War. Emerging from prison, without the force of arms, he would -- like Abraham Lincoln -- hold his country together when it threatened to break apart. And like America's Founding Fathers, he would erect a constitutional order to preserve freedom for future generations -- a commitment to democracy and rule of law ratified not only by his election, but by his willingness to step down from power after only one term.
Given the sweep of his life, the scope of his accomplishments, the adoration that he so rightly earned, it's tempting I think to remember Nelson Mandela as an icon, smiling and serene, detached from the tawdry affairs of lesser men. But Madiba himself strongly resisted such a lifeless portrait. (Applause.) Instead, Madiba insisted on sharing with us his doubts and his fears; his miscalculations along with his victories. "I am not a saint," he said, "unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying."
It was precisely because he could admit to imperfection -- because he could be so full of good humor, even mischief, despite the heavy burdens he carried -- that we loved him so. He was not a bust made of marble; he was a man of flesh and blood -- a son and a husband, a father and a friend. And that's why we learned so much from him, and that's why we can learn from him still. For nothing he achieved was inevitable. In the arc of his life, we see a man who earned his place in history through struggle and shrewdness, and persistence and faith. He tells us what is possible not just in the pages of history books, but in our own lives as well.
Mandela showed us the power of action; of taking risks on behalf of our ideals. Perhaps Madiba was right that he inherited, "a proud rebelliousness, a stubborn sense of fairness" from his father. And we know he shared with millions of black and colored South Africans the anger born of, "a thousand slights, a thousand indignities, a thousand unremembered moments…a desire to fight the system that imprisoned my people," he said.
But like other early giants of the ANC -- the Sisulus and Tambos -- Madiba disciplined his anger and channeled his desire to fight into organization, and platforms, and strategies for action, so men and women could stand up for their God-given dignity. Moreover, he accepted the consequences of his actions, knowing that standing up to powerful interests and injustice carries a price. "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I've cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony and [with] equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for and to achieve. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." (Applause.)
Mandela taught us the power of action, but he also taught us the power of ideas; the importance of reason and arguments; the need to study not only those who you agree with, but also those who you don't agree with. He understood that ideas cannot be contained by prison walls, or extinguished by a sniper's bullet. He turned his trial into an indictment of apartheid because of his eloquence and his passion, but also because of his training as an advocate. He used decades in prison to sharpen his arguments, but also to spread his thirst for knowledge to others in the movement. And he learned the language and the customs of his oppressor so that one day he might better convey to them how their own freedom depend upon his. (Applause.)
Mandela demonstrated that action and ideas are not enough. No matter how right, they must be chiseled into law and institutions. He was practical, testing his beliefs against the hard surface of circumstance and history. On core principles he was unyielding, which is why he could rebuff offers of unconditional release, reminding the Apartheid regime that "prisoners cannot enter into contracts."
But as he showed in painstaking negotiations to transfer power and draft new laws, he was not afraid to compromise for the sake of a larger goal. And because he was not only a leader of a movement but a skillful politician, the Constitution that emerged was worthy of this multiracial democracy, true to his vision of laws that protect minority as well as majority rights, and the precious freedoms of every South African.
And finally, Mandela understood the ties that bind the human spirit. There is a word in South Africa -- Ubuntu -- (applause) -- a word that captures Mandela's greatest gift: his recognition that we are all bound together in ways that are invisible to the eye; that there is a oneness to humanity; that we achieve ourselves by sharing ourselves with others, and caring for those around us.
We can never know how much of this sense was innate in him, or how much was shaped in a dark and solitary cell. But we remember the gestures, large and small -- introducing his jailers as honored guests at his inauguration; taking a pitch in a Springbok uniform; turning his family's heartbreak into a call to confront HIV/AIDS -- that revealed the depth of his empathy and his understanding. He not only embodied Ubuntu, he taught millions to find that truth within themselves.
It took a man like Madiba to free not just the prisoner, but the jailer as well -- (applause) -- to show that you must trust others so that they may trust you; to teach that reconciliation is not a matter of ignoring a cruel past, but a means of confronting it with inclusion and generosity and truth. He changed laws, but he also changed hearts.
For the people of South Africa, for those he inspired around the globe, Madiba's passing is rightly a time of mourning, and a time to celebrate a heroic life. But I believe it should also prompt in each of us a time for self-reflection. With honesty, regardless of our station or our circumstance, we must ask: How well have I applied his lessons in my own life? It's a question I ask myself, as a man and as a President.
We know that, like South Africa, the United States had to overcome centuries of racial subjugation. As was true here, it took sacrifice -- the sacrifice of countless people, known and unknown, to see the dawn of a new day. Michelle and I are beneficiaries of that struggle. (Applause.) But in America, and in South Africa, and in countries all around the globe, we cannot allow our progress to cloud the fact that our work is not yet done.
The struggles that follow the victory of formal equality or universal franchise may not be as filled with drama and moral clarity as those that came before, but they are no less important. For around the world today, we still see children suffering from hunger and disease. We still see run-down schools. We still see young people without prospects for the future. Around the world today, men and women are still imprisoned for their political beliefs, and are still persecuted for what they look like, and how they worship, and who they love. That is happening today. (Applause.)
And so we, too, must act on behalf of justice. We, too, must act on behalf of peace. There are too many people who happily embrace Madiba's legacy of racial reconciliation, but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality. There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba's struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people. (Applause.) And there are too many of us on the sidelines, comfortable in complacency or cynicism when our voices must be heard.
The questions we face today -- how to promote equality and justice; how to uphold freedom and human rights; how to end conflict and sectarian war -- these things do not have easy answers. But there were no easy answers in front of that child born in World War I. Nelson Mandela reminds us that it always seems impossible until it is done. South Africa shows that is true. South Africa shows we can change, that we can choose a world defined not by our differences, but by our common hopes. We can choose a world defined not by conflict, but by peace and justice and opportunity.
We will never see the likes of Nelson Mandela again. But let me say to the young people of Africa and the young people around the world -- you, too, can make his life's work your own. Over 30 years ago, while still a student, I learned of Nelson Mandela and the struggles taking place in this beautiful land, and it stirred something in me. It woke me up to my responsibilities to others and to myself, and it set me on an improbable journey that finds me here today. And while I will always fall short of Madiba's example, he makes me want to be a better man. (Applause.) He speaks to what's best inside us.
After this great liberator is laid to rest, and when we have returned to our cities and villages and rejoined our daily routines, let us search for his strength. Let us search for his largeness of spirit somewhere inside of ourselves. And when the night grows dark, when injustice weighs heavy on our hearts, when our best-laid plans seem beyond our reach, let us think of Madiba and the words that brought him comfort within the four walls of his cell: "It matters not how strait the gate, how charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul."
What a magnificent soul it was. We will miss him deeply. May God bless the memory of Nelson Mandela. May God bless the people of South Africa. (Applause.)

スピーチの中で出てくる "Ubuntu" ですが、
マンデラ氏自身がこのことばを解説している映像がありました。
(7にこれの英文を載せておきました。)
Ubuntu is an African word that has been rendered several ways.
Coming from Zulu, the word literally means "humaneness."
It is most commonly used in the context of the following Zulu maxim:
"umuntu ngumuntu ngabantu",
"a person is a person through other persons."
This saying itself has been paraphrased in many ways. A few are:
"A person is a person because of other persons."
"I am what I am because of what we all are."
"the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity."
The human dimension of this ethic has been illustrated very well by Nelson Mandela as seen in this video:

Ubuntuってどっかの地名かなんかだと思っていましたが、こんな意味があったんですねー。
マンデラさんの "ubuntu" の動画は聞き取りづらいので、英文も載せておきます。
an icon of freedom in Africa and the world
an inspiring symbol of tolerance and humanity
the African tradition of "ubuntu"
What is ubuntu?
it is a universal truth
it is way of life
it underpins the concept of an open society
Tim Modise: Many people regard you as a personification of ubuntu, what do you understand it to be?
Nelson Mandela: In the old days when we were young, a traveler through our country would stop at a village.
He didn't have to ask for food or water, once he stops the people give him food at the table.
That is one aspect of it, but it will have various aspects.
unselfishness
one word can mean so much
this is the spirit of ubuntu
Mandela: It does not mean that people should not address themselves.
The question therefore is, are you going to do so in order to enable the community around you to be able to improve.
These are the important things of life, and if one can do that you have done something very important that will be appreciated.

In seguito il veicolo ha subito vari ammodernamenti. Play your role and it's not necessarily a death sentence to get matched vs. Fast n agile, excellent camo for being a light tank , with great gun too. So if u know what u're doing then u gonna buy this one. Historical Reference More than 50 of these vehicles were produced in Taiwan. Dear tankers, Present to you the sound mode replaces the standard sound of gunfire on historical guns. Many of the Dragon players are too aggressively without support, or just plain bad with this tank.
Is this the same premium tank at the type 62 dragon? The development process of the Type 62 started in 1957. Se vuoi saperne di più o negare il consenso a tutti o ad alcuni cookie, consulta la. The wotb page on facebook says that if the ducks appear, there are errors on the files. The aim was to create a lightweight version of the Type 59, so the new tank could easily fight in the mountainous and boggy terrain of South China. Nel gioco, il serbatoio svolge il suo ruolo di scout davvero bene. Questa bestia sarà disponibile dal 29 gennaio alle ore 11. Il carro diventa improvvisamente una grande fiancheggiatore.
Let us tell you more about this vehicle. Shes a good credit earner, not Victory but not far behind the Is6 Id say for mine! The good ones, I only run into few good players that really knows what they are doing and mostly unicum players , and I heave learnt a lot from watching how they play this tank properly. Fast as hell, good RoF and decent accuracy. Il processo di sviluppo della Tipo 62 è iniziato nel 1957. Ma questo significa che il carro può solo esplorare? Just got back after like 1-2 month hiatus so my stats in general have depressed, but still above average. Maybe the error is caused by the mod? Got the Dragon this past Saturday.
I think the 62 is worth buying. I'd like slightly better accuracy and faster rounds to improve long distance sniping. Good view range and quick enough to get the hell out of Dodge if needed. It comes equipped with an 85 mm gun that has decent penetration, accuracy and rate of fire. I recommend it to anyone comfortable with the required play style and the price of purchasing the tank. Does the type 63 earn good credits? Armor is paper thin, but does occasionally auto bounce, if you're lucky. In altre parole, ognuno troverà qualcosa per soddisfare il proprio stile di gioco! But does that mean this tank can only scout? I'm way more than excited when I saw this news pop out n I won't miss on this tank again.
Would you be interested in a engine mod if too? Anche se non respira fuoco, è certamente una bestia draconica. Those that need help in grinding or wants to do stupid stuff, invite me. But I was wandering if you would do the gun mod for 2. Thanks in advance for your time doing this awesome mod and keeping it up to date! I was 30% win rate in it for my 30 first game because I was playing it like a tier 7 medium. Per my experience, that's a mastery on a win. Please dear sir update this mod to current version , now istalling this mod crashes the game. Not a bad credit earner either! Later the vehicle underwent several modernisations.
It especially exceeds in passive scouting due to its low profile and good camouflage value. It prints credit n one tank I missed to buy before. Ive never had problems with Type 62 drivers killing me, and I am one myself. And of course, he died right after that. Ecco — il Type 62 Dragon, un fratello minore sorprendentemente mimetizzato del famoso Type 59! Questa volta abbiamo una vera delizia per voi! It is not that easy to play and if you are not careful you get smashed. Not bad for the very first battle in this tank though Good game, and looks like you are one of the few good Dragon players.
The first prototype was built in 1962. The Hellcat turret was mounted on the chassis of the M42 anti-aircraft vehicle, and the armament was the well-proven M1A2 gun. In other words, everybody will find something to please their taste! Or you can wait for them to yolo. All basic components of the vehicle were based on those of American vehicles. It's one of the most enjoyable tank to play in the game once you know how to drive it.
I really like this sound mod because the gun sounds are louder and better than the original ones. In the game, the tank performs its scouting role really well. Anyway, the 62 has got so many buffs after the release, which turned it from useless to a playable tank. Anyway fish, from ur stats I'm sure u gonna nail this one. Good game, and looks like you are one of the few good Dragon players. One the most fun tanks i've got.

US Defense Secretary William Cohen started a Middle East tour in the Gulf on Thursday, and vowed that last month's bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen would not drive his country's forces out of the region.
"I think the Cole attack was a plan that has been long in the making, that it is part of an effort to try and drive the United States away from its global commitments and out of the region," he said on the plane from Washington to Bahrain.
"And that simply is not going to take place. The US is going to remain engaged globally ... We're not leaving," Cohen told reporters.
The nine-nation tour starting in Manama was to take the defense secretary on to the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt and Israel.
He was to hold talks on terrorism, following the October 12 bombing of the US destroyer Cole in the Yemeni port of Aden that killed 17 sailors, on the Israel-Palestinian conflict and on US efforts to keep Iraq isolated, Pentagon officials said.
Cohen's exact itinerary for the week-long tour, which comes hot on the heels of an Islamic summit in Doha at which Iraq made concrete gains in its campaign to shake off decade-old UN sanctions, was not disclosed for security reason.
In Manama, he was to meet the emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Issa al-Khalifa, and visit a ship of the Bahrain-based US Fifth Fleet which patrols Gulf waters to help enforce the sanctions imposed on Iraq for its 1990 invasion of Kuwait.
"It will be my ninth visit to the Middle East region," Cohen said on the plane.
"We've made great progress with all of the Gulf states ... and I'm very pleased with the results that I've been able to achieve. We have pursued a policy of containment with (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein," he said.
"We have a policy of commitment to the security of the region," said Cohen.
Cohen said US policy in the region would be one of continuity after a new president takes over from Bill Clinton in January, following a transition period during which Iraq has already made headway in efforts to break its isolation.

Q: If statement giving a phantom number on view I have a simple if statement that is placing a phantom number underneath my post. If I remove just the if statement I do not get it anymore. I have determined the statement before and after are not the culprits by deleting them and testing it out. The number it produces are 0 and the number is not significant in my application at all.
I have tried checking source when debugging and it shows up only as text. I have also deleted the part before the || and after and tested. They still show up. It's the weirdest thing I have seen.
If you cannot seem to help with why it is doing this is there another way to write this? It is simply saying in pseudocode if the posts body(or content) has a regular expression of the username(tag for user) or if the user that created the post equals the user whose page you are on. then show posts
=if post.body =~ /#{@username}/ || post.user == @user

A: Use
-if post.body =~ /#{@username}/ || post.user == @user

instead of
=if post.body =~ /#{@username}/ || post.user == @user

= will evaluate and display the result whereas - would just evaluate the expression.


Going thru my library once again to find songs that could use a basic edit for regular play, I always run across a track that somehow seems to get a bit more than just the "basics".
This is a great Disco classic from 1976 that isn't necessarily the first song you think of when you hear the name Carol Douglas. That song would be the classic "Doctors Orders".
Took the long version and created an Intro (32/32 Beats), added a full break (32 Beats) and created an Outro (32/32 Beats). I enhanced the Kick and Hats, added light effects and finally locked the tempo at 122 BPM.

Candida is the most common infectious fungus. It's responsible for oral thrush, skin rashes and even systemic candidiasis. Another tenacious strain, Candida auris, is a superbug spreading across the globe. This Candida can be deadly since it is resistant to antifungal drugs!

All about Candida fungus
FACTS: Candida is a common infectious fungus that usually live in harmony with human beings. Strains such as C. albicans live in over 80% of the population. It is a stolid member of the community of microorganisms normally found on the skin and in the mucous membranes and gastrointestinal tract. Another strain called C. auris is tenacious and sometimes deadly. It is a new example of one of the world's most intractable health threats: the rise of drug-resistant infections.
C. auris is a superbug fungus along the likes of the infamous MRSA bacteria. This Candida strain is impervious to major antifungal medications. It preys on people with weakened immune systems, and since the year 2010 has been spreading around the globe. Candida made global headlines in 2019 as lethal infections are adding alarming dimensions to the dangers of overusing medications. Over 500 C. auris infections have been reported in the US, and outbreaks are on the rise in Europe, Australia, Latin America and Asia as well.
C. albicans is a more passive strain of the fungus. It can develop territorial ambitions and transform from a quiet unicellular organism into an aggressive multi-cellular filamentous form. The result is candidiasis, commonly manifested as oral thrush, inflamed skin (such as observed in diaper rashes or compromised fingernails), or a genital yeast infection.
C. albicans infections can be provoked by such factors as a compromised immune system (whether from illness or stress), dietary changes, medical treatments or even alterations in hygienic routines that disrupt the normal balance of microorganisms.
These infections exhibit a distinctive whitish color. (Indeed, the name Candida albicans redundantly means "white white," as candida derives from the Roman custom of "candidates" for political office wearing white to demonstrate their purity, and albicans "to be whitish."). Except in extreme cases, such as found in bloodstream-impacting systemic candidal disease, C. albicans infections are not dangerous and often self-resolve. Still, a variety of treatments from home remedies and topical creams to prescriptive medication are available which can expedite the process and help restore your corporeal community to a state of tranquility and purity.
Like many fungi in the world, Candida is not well known or talked about, but it can wreak havoc and should not be underestimated. The superbug version of Candida has been described as a creature from the black lagoon that bubbled up and now it's everywhere!
This microbe was given a name that describes its most characteristic visible symptom, white patches. Both the genus and species names are Latin root words that mean white.
About 5 micrometers, which is 2,000 times smaller than a single M&M!
Candida albicans is the most common species of Candida yeast and the most common cause of candidiasis, an overgrowth of yeast. It's an opportunistic pathogen commonly found all over the environment, which means it only causes disease when the conditions are favorable. It can cause serious problems for individuals who have impaired immune systems, like the elderly or AIDS patients.
Candidiasis can occur all over the body—skin, throat, genitals, and even the blood stream. Candidiasis of the throat, or thrush, causes white patches on the tongue, pain and swelling in the mouth, nausea, vomiting, and weight loss. Genital candidiasis, commonly known as a yeast infection, is very common in adult women. It causes itching, irritation, burning, redness, pain and swelling in the vagina. Candidemia, or candidiasis of the blood, occurs in people who have underlying severe illnesses. It results in fever and chills, and can spread to major organs like the heart and brain.
Antifungal drugs
Yeast infections were first described by Australian physician, David Grubby, during his tenure at Hospital St. Louis in France.
Outbreaks:
As treatment with antibiotics became more and more common in the 1950's, yeast infections became more common.
Lactobacillus acidophilus has been shown to control the growth of Candida yeast. Perhaps a yogurt a day may keep the doctor away!


Brown butter, how do we love thee?
luck you meld odds and ends in the fridge with grace.
pasta's most quiet need, by sun and candlelight.
we love thee purely, as with a little lemon we praise.
in quick weeknight ways with fish, chicken, and pork, owing to home cooks' faith.
we shall but love thee better with dessert, er, death.
This browned butter is a classic base to so many great dishes. The addition of sage and lemon is especially nice for fall dishes. As the recipe says, adding the aromatics after the butter has browned and been removed from the heat ensures the perfect flavor balance (i.e., you don't want to burn the sage or cook away the fresh lemon flavor). I mixed my brown butter into mashed sweet potatoes—I just baked the sweet potatoes whole in a 400°F oven for 45 minutes, removed the skins, and mashed them along with the browned butter. It was divine. I think pretty much anything would taste divine with this butter though!
As soon as I read this recipe, I was smiling thinking of my grandmother and how she would use the not-so-nice-looking herb leaves to make scented butter. And this recipe is very similar to how she used to make hers. Indeed, this is a beauty drizzled over mashed potatoes but is ever better on a nice, juicy, grilled steak. You can use sage or you can use just about any other herb. The nice thing is that you can also freeze it in small quantities, which of course will remove some of its beautiful aromas but is nevertheless very practical for last-minute butter emergencies.
Although perfect with the Chestnut Pasta Rags with Wild Mushrooms and Brussels Sprouts, this versatile butter would enhance almost anything it touched! It went great with some roasted guinea hens, but you needn't stop there. It'd go great with a pan sauce, too. If vegetables could, they'd sing your praises were they to be caressed by this easy-to-prepare finisher.

How are Lawsuits for Long-Term Personal Injuries Different?
An accident caused by someone's negligent or reckless conduct can have a tremendous impact on every area of your life. Depending on the type of injury you sustained, you may end up requiring long-term care and physical rehabilitation, and the ramifications of your injury may last for years after the actual accident. Long-term or catastrophic injuries may affect the rest of a person's life, potentially costing millions of dollars in medical bills alone. Such injuries may also affect your ability to earn a living and prevent you from participating in the activities you once enjoyed. These types of personal injury claims are often complex, as victims may seek compensation for past and future damages. In most cases, an experienced personal injury lawyer is essential to ensuring you obtain fair compensation and a secure future after a catastrophic accident.
The North Carolina personal injury lawyers at Riddle & Brantley have experience with the complexities of claims involving catastrophic injuries. In one case, we represented an undocumented worker who sustained a serious disabling brain injury. After mediation, we obtained a settlement of $2.475 million, providing for his future needs. If you or a loved one is facing ongoing disability, then contact us today. We can determine the full impact of your injuries by working with experts and will provide aggressive representation so you get a fair verdict or settlement.
What are Common Long-Term Injuries?
Head injuries, such as concussions and traumatic brain injuries. Brain trauma can cause permanent paralysis, personality changes and cognitive impairment. Victims may require around-the-clock medical care and supervision, or extensive rehabilitative therapy.
Neck injuries, including whiplash, fractures and injuries to the upper spine. These injuries may cause chronic pain and can require months to heal. Depending on the extent of the damage, quadriplegia may result. This can cause difficulties eating and/or breathing in addition to paralysis.
Back injuries, including spinal cord injuries and other forms of muscle, tendon, and ligament strains. Damage to the spinal cord is often irreversible, causing full or partial paralysis below the site of the injury.
Any of these injuries can result in lasting disability with lifetime consequences, and they are common grounds for long-term disability lawsuits. In addition, long-term injury lawsuits may include compensation for scarring and/or disfigurement. These injuries can have a tremendous impact on the sufferer's emotional health and wellbeing.
According to the NIH, accidental traumatic injuries are also the leading cause of death in the United States for people under the age of 44. Long-term personal injuries, such as those caused by car accidents, slip and fall accidents, on-the-job injuries, medical malpractice or product liability cases, can do serious damage to the various body systems, organs, and tissues – damage that can cause wrongful death.
What Compensation May Be Available for Catastrophic Personal Injuries?
Medical expenses, including compensation for ongoing care and physical rehabilitation.
Lost wages as the result of your injury. This may include any future lost wages or loss of employment.
Pain, suffering, and mental anguish associated with your injury and recovery.
Financial compensation for scars and disfigurement.
Compensation for the loss or partial loss of use of a body part or body function.
Compensation for permanent injuries or disabilities that resulted from the accident.
Additional noneconomic damages, such as loss of consortium/companionship and loss of enjoyment of life.
In addition to the above, you may also be entitled to punitive damages as well. Under Chapter 1D of the North Carolina General Statutes, punitive damages are meant to punish particularly wrongful or negligent conduct and deter others from doing the same. Punitive damages are awarded over and above the actual damages you receive for your medical bills and expenses. In North Carolina, punitive damages have a cap of $250,000 or three times the compensatory damages, whichever is greater.
Injuries that have lasting or permanent consequences may entitle the sufferer to damages beyond a normal insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit. However, an insurance company is a business, and like any business, its main object is making money and increasing profits. Companies often accomplish this goal is by undervaluing or denying claims. Therefore, you should speak to an experienced team of North Carolina personal injury lawyers before you file a claim.
If you or a loved one has suffered long-term personal injuries in an accident as the result of someone's reckless or negligent conduct, then reach out to Riddle & Brantley today. Our experienced North Carolina personal injury lawyers have the resources and legal experience necessary to assist you in getting the compensation you deserve.
We aggressively defend our client's rights and best interests, while holding responsible parties accountable.

Kyle Schwarber Says Nats' Juan Soto Is The Best Hitter In The Game, He May Be Right
in MLB
by Gary Sheffield, Jr January 12, 2021, 4:36 pm updated January 12, 2021, 5:28 pm 1 Comment
Outfielder Kyle Schwarber signed a one-year, $10 million deal with the Washington Nationals this offseason, but that's not why everyone's talking about him. The former Cubs World Series champion raised eyebrows when he said Nationals' left fielder Juan Soto is the best hitter in the game.
"When you look at a guy like Juan Soto, I think he's the best hitter in the game," Schwarber said.
Yeah, that's a league with Mike Trout in it. But according to the numbers, Soto may have a case.
Kyle Schwarber gets it.
Juan Soto is The Best Hitter in @MLB™.#NATITUDE pic.twitter.com/ZuARc4WTBr
— Washington Nationals (@Nationals) January 11, 2021
Is Schwarber just blowing smoke up Soto's tuchus since he just signed as a National? Maybe. Let's take a deeper look at how the 22-year-old Soto matches up against Mike Trout, the guy most consider to be the best hitter in the league.
I pulled Mike Trout's career numbers, and as you can see, he's a shoo-in Hall of Famer with few weaknesses at the plate. Not only is he dominant, he also has longevity on his side. No free agent superstar has ever had the kind of consistency that Trout has shown for nearly a decade.
Mike Trout consistently dominates every offensive category except one: strike outs. In the 2014 season alone, Trout struck out a career-high 184 times, mainly because he wouldn't lay off high fastballs. He eventually solved this problem, but it was still a part of his career.
That's where the comparison to rising star Juan Soto really begins.
Check out these numbers:
In the short 60-game season, Juan Soto hit a league-high .351, which is what old-school fans of baseball come to see. The ability to put the ball in play and make things happen is fundamentally how the game is meant to be played. His strikeout numbers dwindled almost instantly after his first season, when he was just 19 years old, and he deserves credit for making adjustments. He has since hit for power, just as Trout does, while also maintaining a staggering career on-base percentage of over .400.
These are Barry Bonds-like numbers. No one besides Soto combines old-school contact with the new-age power game. By the way, take a peak at his 2020 campaign. The kid got on base half the time over a 47-game span.
So, is he the game's best hitter?
For now, we'll say no. Mike Trout has been in the game long enough to have his weaknesses challenged. Juan Soto hasn't been in the bigs 10 years. We'll see how he fares when big-time pitchers discover a weakness or two.
But this kid is still special. Both old-school and new-school baseball fans have a superstar to enjoy for the next two decades. I would like to say we shouldn't compare Mike Trout to Juan Soto, but if these numbers continue, we may not have a choice.

Written by Gary Sheffield, Jr
John Melton says:
It's a worthy debate, and depends on what we use as the agreed upon criteria. I think Trout is clearly the best "player" in MLB.
I'll say this, the only other player I've seen who was a more "complete" a hitter as Soto at his age was Albert Pujols. When I say complete hitter I mean like scouts might evaluate: 1.Hits for average 2. Hits for power 3. Hits to all fields 4. Makes contact 5. Good eye 6. Good in the clutch. Since his performance in the playoffs on the Nats title run, I think Soto is the best complete hitter in the game.

Now, convert 2D images into 3D animations
| Hyderabad, Jan. 15 | Updated on: Jan 16, 2018
US-based techie develops toolkit that helps firms tap digital data
You have a collection of 2D industrial designs but find it tough to explain the processes to key resources that are going to man critical infrastructure? Here's a way to do it. Just turn them into a 3D animation by pointing your mobile camera to the set of designs?
Joe Biron, Chief Technology Officer, Internet of Things technology at PTC, has demonstrated a new solution that can virtually convert every 2D design or image into a 3D video.
To buttress his solution, Joe presents a Harvard Business Review article on the importance of Augmented Reality. Opening a specially made app on his tablet and pointing the camera to a 2D design in the article, he explained how the voluminous digital data of an organisation can be juxtaposed on images or blueprints to turn them into 3D animations.
Marrying the physical data with piles of digital data that are being generated by the minute can do wonders. The US-based techie built a toolkit that helps firms tap their digital data to augment their physical data to give better insights.
"Our tool kit help connect capabilities such as mobile, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Analytics to help monitor and predict. For one, it can tell when a robot or a process is going to fail," Biron told BusinessLine.
No coders needed
He says the solution only uses the digital data that's lying in the servers. "You don't need to hire any coders to write a code. You simply drag-and-drop from the animations that have already been created," he says.
About 1,000 PTC customers are using the new module called ThingWorx Studio to work on different use cases.
The firm, which has 2,000 employees in Pune and Bengaluru facilities, is planning to double the business development team to 100 from the present 50 in the next few months.
PTC has set up Centre of Excellence in association with Capgemini in Mumbai. The CoE will work on PTC's ThingWorx platform and tools to build specific solutions for different industry verticals.

EU students face £800 Brexit fee if not in the UK before 2021

Posted By: Voice of London 28/11/2020
With the Brexit transition period set to end on 31st December, first-year EU students are facing fines of up to £800 if they don't arrive in the UK before the start of 2021.
In a statement, the Home Office reiterated that EU students will not be qualified for EU pre-settled status under this situation. When the new year kicks off, students will need to pay £348 to apply for a visa, on top of £470 for healthcare insurance.
EU students: 🇪🇺 you need to be in the UK until 31 Dec 2020 to be eligible for 🇬🇧 #settledstatus.
❗If you are studying at a UK university but doing your course online (from you home country) because of covid-19, and arrive to the UK from January you'll need a student visa! pic.twitter.com/chAVCGdgMv
— EU Delegation UK (@EUdelegationUK) November 10, 2020
University students coming from the EU/EEA and Switzerland, have enjoyed the same amount of tuition fee as local UK students up until now.
As a result of Brexit, EU students will risk losing their home fee status from the next academic year, commencing the autumn of 2021. International students too will suffer as the price of tuition fees will experience an increase.
The fee can increase between £3,000-30,000 depending on the course and university.
MP for Glasgow North West, Carol Monaghan, shared her opinion on Twitter about the Brexit fee on EU students.
In the middle of a global pandemic, the UK Gov decide to levy an £800 Brexit charge on EU students if they are not in UK by 31st Dec. Reckless irresponsibility from the Home Office but sadly the kind of decisions we have come to expect.https://t.co/5pNw6hCZHB
— Carol Monaghan MP 🏴 (@CMonaghanSNP) November 27, 2020
Many EU students have stayed in their home countries during the pandemic. Tamara, 22, who is a current second-year EU student, said:
"I have been studying at home since the start of this semester. I stayed in London during the summer, but unfortunately, I couldn't afford the expensive rent anymore."
"I wasn't able to work for a couple of weeks because of the lockdown and my manager didn't put me on the furlough list after not putting me on the rota for a long time. Now that I'm back home, I can save a lot of money while studying at home."
She continued: "The university has sent me a couple of emails explaining the situation, but £800 is still too much for me and my family. I'm not from a rich family that can throw away this much money like nothing."
"Apart from this, I'll have to pay for healthcare insurance every single year, which is three times higher than £470. I'm not sure how my family and I will react to this. I'll have to work a lot harder to be able to afford this. This is not fair at all."
