Cervignano del Friuli (Çarvignan in friulano standard, Sarvignan nella variante locale, Červinjan in sloveno, Cervignan in dialetto bisiaco, anche detta "Sado") è un comune italiano del Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Con una popolazione di  abitanti è la più grande cittadina per popolazione della Bassa Friulana e il 5º comune della provincia di Udine; a partire dagli anni 2000 è uno dei centri di maggiore crescita, e con una tra le più alte percentuali di residenti stranieri, della regione Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Geografia fisica
La città è situata nella Bassa Friulana orientale, di cui è il centro principale, è bagnata dal fiume Ausa, chiamato anticamente Alsa, e si trova a circa 10 km dalla laguna di Grado e a circa 16 km dal mare Adriatico. Il territorio comunale confina a nord e a nord-ovest con il comune di Bagnaria Arsa, a sud con quello di Terzo di Aquileia, a ovest con Torviscosa, a est con Villa Vicentina, a nord-est con Ruda e Aiello del Friuli.

Storia
La storia di Cervignano si ricollega, come tutta quella della Bassa Friulana, alla fondazione di Aquileia nel 181 a.C. da parte dei triumviri romani Lucio Manlio Acidino, Publio Scipione Nasica e Gaio Flaminio mandati dal senato di Roma antica a sbarrare la strada ai barbari che minacciavano i confini orientali d'Italia. Come avvenne anche in altri luoghi, le terre attorno alla città furono ben presto assegnate ai veterani: una strategia che, solitamente, permetteva la graduale romanizzazione della regione circostante. La nascita di Cervignano, come praedium o villa, va quindi ascritta a questo tipo di strategia di urbanizzazione. Nei pressi di Cervinianum, inoltre, morì l'imperatore Costantino II, caduto in una imboscata dell'esercito del fratello Costante I, nell'aprile 340.

Cervignano è attestato nelle fonti a partire dal 912 con i toponimi Cerveniana o Cirvignanum. Il termine deriva dal nome proprio di un'antica famiglia romana, Cervenius o Cervonius, col suffisso -anus a indicare appartenenza. L'etimologia popolare lo collega, però, a "cervo", vista la presenza in passato di vasti boschi che si dice essere stati popolati da cervi, da cui la parte sinistra del simbolo cittadino. L'ancora sulla parte destra richiama invece l'antico porto fluviale sull'Ausa, un tempo principale motore economico e via di comunicazione della cittadina.

Dall'VIII secolo fu sede di un'abbazia benedettina dedicata a San Michele Arcangelo: assegnata al celebre monastero aquileiese di Santa Maria (secolo XI), vi esercitò i diritti d'avocazia il conte di Gorizia..

Repubblica di Venezia
Nel 1420 il paese e l'intero territorio passò sotto Venezia. Nel 1477, in seguito alla pace stipulata tra Federico d'Asburgo e l'impero Turco, con cui l'imperatore asburgico si impegnava a non interferire con le imprese turche contro le terre friulane, cominciarono le scorribande ottomane favorite anche dal conte di Gorizia Leonardo che ne permise il libero passaggio attraverso le sue terre. A Cervignano le milizie veneziane comandate da Giovanni Novello opposero una resistenza eroica, seppur vana, alle orde di saccheggiatori turche sull'Isonzo.

Passaggio sotto il Sacro Romano Impero
Nel 1509 il paese passò sotto la contea di Gorizia, da poco annessa alla Casa d'Austria, e vi rimase ininterrottamente nei tre secoli seguenti, salvo una breve occupazione veneziana durante la guerra di Gradisca nel 1615-'17.

In seguito alla suddivisione della contea di Gorizia in 16 Capitanati stabilita da Massimiliano I, Cervignano venne a trovarsi nel capitanato di Aquileia.
Diverse parti dell'attuale territorio comunale, tra cui Muscoli, Pradiziolo, Scodovacca e alcune tra le odierne periferie dello stesso capoluogo, restarono invece possesso veneziano: fu il fiume Ausa fin nel suo tratto cittadino, dove sorgeva il porto ed il primo ed unico ponte dalla sua foce, a fungere da confine tra i due stati.

Guerre veneziane e napoleoniche
Solo brevi parentesi interruppero il dominio austriaco sul capoluogo: durante la guerra di Gradisca e negli anni delle guerre napoleoniche, quando Cervignano fu trattata dagli austriaci come merce di scambio nei trattati. Proprio in seguito alle guerre napoleoniche, nel 1805 con la Pace di Presburgo Cervignano passò sotto il possesso italo-francese: la regione a occidente dell'Isonzo fu inclusa nel Regno Italico e il suo territorio venne organizzato nei dipartimenti di Passariano, del Tagliamento e dell'Adriatico. A loro volta i dipartimenti vennero divisi in distretti e questi in cantoni. Cervignano venne elevato al rango non solo di comune ma anche di capoluogo del IV Cantone dipendente dal III Distretto di Gradisca che faceva parte del Dipartimento di Passariano.

Dominazione Imperiale Austriaca
Nel 1813 tutta la regione venne riconquistata dall'Austria e il paese venne a far parte della Provincia di Gorizia. Il Congresso di Vienna nel 1815 confermò questo stato di fatto. L'Ausa, nel tratto a valle poco fuori dall'abitato a sud-ovest, segnò il confine internazionale fra l'Impero austro-ungarico e il Regno d'Italia dal 1866, termine della Terza guerra d'indipendenza italiana, quando il Veneto e il Friuli centro-occidentale furono annessi all'Italia, fino alla prima guerra mondiale.
Il 28 luglio 1914 l'Austria-Ungheria dichiara guerra alla Serbia, il 31 luglio Francesco Giuseppe firma la mobilitazione generale e anche Cervignano viene colpita dalla coscrizione obbligatoria nell'esercito Imperiale, agli uomini chiamati alle armi viene ordinato di presentarsi entro due giorni alla "Caserma Grande" di Trieste dove vengono inquadrati nel 97º reggimento, vengono forniti vestiario militare e un minimo di addestramento formale, l'11 agosto parte dalla stazione centrale di Trieste e viene inviato al fronte in Galizia, dove agli uomini viene per la prima volta consegnato il fucile.
Il 23 agosto 1914 gli uomini del 97º reggimento praticamente privi di addestramento vengono mandati in prima linea in quella che passerà alla storia come la battaglia di Galizia, e dove oltre il 70% di loro troverà la morte.

Passaggio al Regno d'Italia
Cervignano fu sede di forti movimenti dell'irredentismo (vedi associazioni storiche), che auspicavano il passaggio all'Italia. Nel 1914 l'irredentista Giuseppe Rizzatti, insieme a Romeo Battistig, Ugo Zilli e Gualtiero Valentinis, era riuscito a falsificare perfettamente i timbri della polizia austriaca di Cervignano; servendosi di questo documento, un centinaio di allievi ufficiali di Gorizia avrebbero dovuto approfittare di una festa popolare a Lucinico per passare in forze il confine. Il piano fallì e Rizzatti venne arrestato, processato, e condannato alla pena di morte, ma grazie a degli errori procedurali il dibattimento è stato ripetuto davanti alla Corte d'assise di Lubiana, che ha ridotto la pena a dieci anni di carcere duro, muore l'anno dopo durante la reclusione.

Sul piazzale immediatamente prospiciente l'attuale ponte sull'Ausa durante la prima guerra mondiale, fu sparato il primo colpo d'artiglieria da parte italiana. In loco esiste tuttora una lapide che commemora l'evento; la cittadina abbandonata dalle truppe austriache qualche giorno prima fu presa il 24 maggio 1915 dai Bersaglieri italiani e mantenuta dal Regio Esercito sino alla fine di ottobre del 1917, divenendo sede del comando della III Armata, guidata da Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia duca d'Aosta e da luglio 1915 del I Gruppo fino ad agosto.

La città durante il periodo bellico venne ripetutamente bombardata dalle truppe austriache; dalle alture del Carso sparavano artiglierie di grosso calibro mentre si susseguivano diverse incursioni aeree. L'Esercito Italiano dotò la cittadina di diversi manufatti in cemento armato quali rifugi per la popolazione ai predetti bombardamenti (rifugi che, in parte, sussistono ancora).

Dopo la disfatta di Caporetto quanti poterono cercarono rifugio nell'Italia centrale, chi rimase dovette sottostare alla pesante occupazione e alla rappresaglia dall'esercito austro-ungarico, che impiccò vari presunti collaborazionisti a monito della popolazione.
A confortare e sostenere la popolazione in quello che fu definito "un lungo anno di squallida miseria e di triste abbandono" furono due sacerdoti, il parroco del paese e il suo catechista Angelo Molaro insegnante di religione delle scuole primarie.

Arrivata la notizia che il 30 ottobre 1918 Trieste aveva proclamato il distacco dall'Austria, Angelo Molaro convocò segretamente per il 1 di novembre i capifamiglia al bar "Alla Nave" stabilendo la costituzione di un Comitato di Salute Pubblica con i pieni poteri in attesa dell'esercito italiano, il testo del manifesto con cui veniva data pubblica ufficialità alla cittadinanza è tuttora scolpito su una targa di marmo in piazza Unità d'Italia sulla facciata dello stesso locale dove si era tenuto l'incontro. Esso proclama che Cervignano di sua volontà è la seconda città dopo Trieste "che da sola si proclama libera dall'autorità austriaca".

La mattina del 4 novembre entrarono in città anche un gruppo di mitraglieri della II Divisione di Cavalleria comandata dal maggiore Federico Noris dei Lancieri di Firenze. Nel pomeriggio dello stesso giorno giunse a Cervignano l'allora colonnello Oreste De Gaspari comandante del 14º Reggimento bersaglieri a cui il Comitato di Salute Pubblica consegnò l'autorità governativa.

Manifesto della Liberazione dall'Austria

La città fu consegnata all'ufficiale italiano in nome della Repubblica (il Comitato di Salute Pubblica era infatti un collegio di rappresentanti del popolo con pieni poteri) pertanto Cervignano del Friuli è stata anche se per soli 4 giorni una Repubblica statuaria indipendente.

Seconda guerra mondiale - Eccidio del 29 aprile 1945
Anche Cervignano del Friuli contò diverse vittime durante la seconda guerra mondiale: 9 i deceduti per i bombardamenti aerei alleati e ben 58 le altre vittime per eventi diversi.

Tremendi furono i fatti del 29 aprile 1945 - due giorni prima dell'arrivo delle truppe alleate una colonna tedesca di Waffen-SS della 24. Waffen-Gebirgs-Division Karstjager ritirata sulla strada che da Grado porta a Cervignano, mise in atto un sequestro dei mezzi di trasporto nelle località di Belvedere, Aquileia e Terzo. In località S. Martino di Terzo venivano affrontati il 28 aprile da un gruppo di partigiani intenzionati a mettere fine alle requisizioni, scatenando così la loro reazione. Dopo aver compiuto un rastrellamento e ucciso 13 persone, la colonna si spostò a Cervignano e occupò completamente il centro abitato. Nella notte soldati tedeschi ubriachi imperversarono nella cittadina, e il mattino seguente, il 29 aprile, operarono un rastrellamento che portò al fermo di oltre 150 persone, tra cui diversi carabinieri fatti sgomberare dalla caserma, che vennero assembrate in piazza Unità. Dalla chiesa, in cui si stava svolgendo la funzione religiosa, vennero fatte uscire altre decine di persone, compreso il parroco, il sacrestano e diversi chierici. A nulla valsero le intermediazioni del parroco don Cian, che riuscì solo ad ottenere il mancato incendio del paese.

Vennero individuati 21 ostaggi, suddivisi poi in due gruppi. 12 vennero condotti verso la vecchia Fornace Sarcinelli e, lungo il tragitto, a ridosso del fiume Ausa, vennero picchiati e seviziati dai militi ubriachi. Arrivati alla fornace essi vennero fucilati e i corpi gettati nel fiume. L'altro gruppo venne invece condotto in località Tre Ponti dove ebbe luogo la seconda fucilazione. I corpi abbandonati, dopo aver subito scempio da parte dei soldati, vennero successivamente ricomposti con l'aiuto di alcune donne del luogo.

Monumenti e luoghi d'interesse

 Il DuomoCostruito nel 1965 su progetto dell'architetto udinese Giacomo Della Mea secondo arditi criteri di modernità, funzionali e simbolici, dedicato alla Madonna di Fatima, in esso è posto un imponente crocifisso in bronzo realizzato dallo scultore Max Piccini. Alle pareti, su pannelli, sono stati eseguiti dall'artista Paolo Orlando, dei dipinti raffiguranti momenti della vita di Cristo. Il Battistero è stato completato con tre opere del pittore cervignanese Giuseppe Zigaina.
 Chiesa madre di San Michele ArcangeloSorta nel 1780 a fianco dell'antica abbazia benedettina distrutta dagli ungari; all'interno i neorestaurati affreschi dell'insigne pittore veneziano Sebastiano Santi, eseguiti nel 1846. Recentemente restaurata è stata consegnata al culto dopo diversi anni nel 1994. I lavori hanno permesso di individuare nel sottosuolo interessanti reperti di epoca romana e resti di inumazioni del periodo medievale visitabili in una vasta cripta. Ai piedi della torre campanaria del secolo XI è visibile un pregevole mosaico di epoca longobarda scoperto nel 1915 durante dei lavori da parte dell'Esercito Italiano. Recentemente si è potuto anche constatare l'esistenza, in base a delle foto d'archivio, di un altro mosaico raffigurante un'aquila dorata senza però poterne individuare la sua collocazione. La chiesa custodiva anche un altare maggiore monumentale, sparito nel nulla, però, nel periodo in cui l'edificio rimase chiuso prima della riapertura in seguito agli ultimi lavori di restauro.
 Cappella di Santa Croce, cappella gentilizia delle famiglie Bresciani - Attems - Auersperg sita nel parco dell'omonima villa con ingresso in via Trieste. Nel suo interno si trova un monumentale Crocifisso ligneo del XII secolo di scultore sconosciuto di scuola pusterese. Recentemente restaurato è stato riportato all'originale splendore. Nella parte occipitale del capo è stata rinvenuta una crocetta in argento e smalti di fattura bizantina.
 Chiesa di San Girolamo. La chiesa di San Girolamo, la cui data di costruzione non è nota, nel 1683 fu restaurata, ma, poi, a causa dell'abbandono in cui fu lasciata a lungo, era in condizioni tali che, nel 1873, venne riedificata dalle fondamenta. Negli anni successivi venne di nuovo abbandonata fino al termine della Prima Guerra mondiale, quando don Angelo Molaro decise di ampliarla, ridandole forma e stile primitivo. I lavori iniziarono nel 1924 e nel settembre del 1933 fu benedetta; è a questo periodo che, probabilmente, si deve riferire il reimpiego di tutti i reperti romani che oggi sono visibili all'esterno o all'interno della chiesa e che provengono da Aquileia o dal territorio circostante. Esternamente presenta il tetto a doppio spiovente, il protiro con monofora campanaria a tutto sesto e il campanile a vela.
 Chiesa di San Marco, a Scodovacca, costruita tra il 1829 e il 1830, venne consacrata nel 1833;
 Chiesa di San Nicolò a Strassoldo. La parrocchiale di Strassoldo si trova nel Castello di Sopra e venne edificata nel XVIII secolo;
 Villa Bresciani-Attems-Auersperg (via Trieste)Dalla maestosa scalinata in pietra bianca che conduce al portale bugnato attorniata dai residui dell'antico parco.
 Villa ChiozzaResidenza dello scienziato Luigi Chiozza, che dedicò la sua esperienza e il suo amore per la botanica alla realizzazione dello splendido parco. Il Chiozza fu nominato accademico di Francia per i suoi studi scientifici sull'agricoltura e sulla bachicoltura; collaborò con lo scienziato Pasteur che, per un periodo, fu suo ospite in quel di Scodovacca. La villa e il parco, già sede dell'ERSA (Ente Regionale per la Promozione e lo Sviluppo dell'Agricoltura del Friuli-Venezia Giulia) e della stazione meteorologica, è attualmente di proprietà della Regione Friuli-Venezia Giulia.
 Villa De Obizzi Lanzone (Borgo Gortani)
 Castello di StrassoldoFrazione di Cervignano, un tempo Comune autonomo, che ha le sue radici storiche confermate nel 1035 da un editto del patriarca Poppo per la concessione del territorio alle famiglie Strassan (originarie degli attuali Strassoldo). Ora il borgo, ricco di un'antica storia, racchiude due castelli, quello di Sopra e quello di Sotto, con annessa una chiesa dedicata a san Nicolò, oggi chiesa parrocchiale. Qui sono state officiate le nozze del maresciallo austriaco Radetzski con una Strassoldo. Il borgo fu anche residenza del barone Franz Kuhm, dignitario della corte austriaca e feldmaresciallo dell'esercito. Nel borgo Gallo, circondata da una muraglia, c'è la chiesetta di Santa Maria in Vineis (nominata in un testamento del 1334) che, recentemente restaurata, raccoglie un ciclo di affreschi raffiguranti storie del Vecchio e Nuovo Testamento. Nella chiesetta era anche custodito un Crocifisso di grandi dimensioni del secolo XVII; risulta essere uno dei quattro calchi di un originale del XII secolo sito in Pordenone. Era esposto nella sacrestia della parrocchiale prima di essere trasferito presso i laboratori della Soprintendenza, dove si trova attualmente per il restauro.

Evoluzione demografica

Lingue e dialetti
A Cervignano del Friuli, accanto alla lingua italiana, la popolazione utilizza la lingua friulana. Ai sensi della Deliberazione n. 2680 del 3 agosto 2001 della Giunta della Regione Autonoma Friuli-Venezia Giulia, il Comune è inserito nell'ambito territoriale di tutela della lingua friulana ai fini della applicazione della legge 482/99, della legge regionale 15/96 e della legge regionale 29/2007.La lingua friulana che si parla a Cervignano rientra fra le varianti appartenenti al friulano goriziano.

La popolazione friulana, d'origine autoctona e di altri luoghi della regione, costituisce oggi solo una parte dei cervignanesi. A seguito del primo conflitto mondiale e dell'annessione all'Italia e soprattutto a partire dal secondo dopoguerra la cittadina, non troppo colpita dall'emigrazione, è stata invece interessata da un notevole afflusso di nuovi residenti: sia dalla vicina area giuliana e dal Veneto, sia da altre regioni, in particolare del Sud Italia. Dai primi anni novanta si è incrementato notevolmente anche il numero, prima trascurabile, dei residenti d'origine straniera, che sono giunti a costituire nel complesso oltre un decimo della popolazione totale ed il cui peso percentuale sembra destinato ad aumentare costantemente anche nei prossimi anni.

Al 31 dicembre 2016, secondo i dati dell'Ufficio Anagrafe, la popolazione comunale residente risultava essere di  abitanti, di cui  femmine e  maschi, distribuiti in  nuclei familiari e convivenze. La gran parte dei residenti, circa  abitanti, è concentrata nel capoluogo comunale, mentre 960 sono gli abitanti di Scodovacca, 830 quelli di Strassoldo e 610 gli abitanti di Muscoli (in queste 4 circoscrizioni sono comprese anche tutte le altre località e case sparse).

Al 31 dicembre 2016 i cittadini stranieri residenti sono  (11,45%); in maggioranza provenienti dall'Europa centro-orientale.
Tra le cittadinanze più rappresentate troviamo:

 Romania, 583
 Albania, 189
 Croazia, 143
 Bosnia-Erzegovina, 123
 Ucraina, 90
 Serbia, 65
 Marocco, 54
 Kosovo, 40
 Cina, 34
 Nigeria, 25

Cultura
La città dispone di due teatri: il "Pier Paolo Pasolini" utilizzato anche come cinema, e la "Sala Aurora". Cervignano inoltre dispone di un centro civico di recente ristrutturazione a cui è annessa la biblioteca civica con un patrimonio di circa 30.000 volumi. È anche presente una Casa della Musica, edificio dotato di sale di prova, di una sala di registrazione e di un auditorium comunale.

Scuole
Cervignano ha due scuole pubbliche secondarie di secondo grado: il liceo scientifico "Albert Einstein" e l'istituto tecnico industriale "A. Malignani".
Cervignano è inoltre sede di una scuola media statale, l'istituto "G. Randaccio", e quattro scuole elementari: l'istituto comprensivo "R. Pitteri", l'istituto "A. Molaro", l'istituto "via della Turisella" e l'istituto "G. Gioberti" nella frazione di Strassoldo. Vi sono infine quattro scuole dell'infanzia pubbliche, l'istituto "Carlo Collodi", l'istituto "Gianni Rodari", l'istituto "Vittorio Podrecca" e l'istituto "C. D'Agostina" nella frazione di Strassoldo, nonché una scuola dell'infanzia privata, l'istituto cattolico "Maria Immacolata".

Media

Radio
Unica emittente attiva è oggi la cattolica "Radio Presenza". Nel passato a Cervignano hanno operato "Radio Fantasy" (dichiarata fallita e chiusa il 30 novembre 2017, dopo la cessione delle frequenze a RTL 102.5), "Radio SuperStar", "Onde Adriatiche" (queste ultime furono attive fino agli anni Novanta) e "Radio Baccano" (chiusa negli anni duemila), cui succedette "Radio Metrò" (quest'ultima concluse le trasmissioni il 26 novembre 2014). Prima radio privata è stata Radio Friuli Adriatico nata a fine anni settanta e chiusa negli anni ottanta.

Economia
Il ruolo del terziario che negli ultimi decenni ha trasformato Cervignano in una cittadina di servizi: numerose sono infatti le banche, gli uffici assicurativi e gli sportelli pubblici nonché gli esercizi ed attività commerciali.

Infrastrutture e trasporti
Cervignano è un importante crocevia, in quanto si trova all'incrocio fra la statale 352 Udine-Grado e la statale 14 Venezia-Trieste; è inoltre punto d'inizio della statale 351 diretta a Gorizia ed al valico di confine. È un rilevante nodo ferroviario con lo scalo di smistamento che verrà presto integrato nel progettato interporto Alpe Adria. Il tratto cittadino del fiume Ausa, nonostante abbia da lungo tempo perso la sua funzione di scalo commerciale e via di comunicazione, è tuttora navigabile fino al ponte di Cervignano ed utilizzato primariamente per uso diportistico.

Create high self-esteem & feel great!
Self-esteem is just a set of beliefs (positive or negative) that you have created about yourself. It's not real and doesn't exist outside of your head. When we have poor self-esteem and lack self-belief, we look for evidence to maintain that negative view of yourself, disregarding all evidence to the contrary. By doing so, you can end up with a distorted, limiting and often harsh opinion of yourself and what you are capable of.
Having self-confidence, or the lack of it, is NOT something we are born with. It is something that is created by the way that we think about ourselves and process our experiences in life. Very often, our levels of self belief and self esteem do not have any bearing on reality. In fact, most people who consult with me for lack of confidence are very capable people, with lots of skills and attributes – but they just don't recognise that in themselves. Self belief is crucial in life – anxiety is created when you don't believe you have the skills and abilities to cope with a situation. We can spend lots of time inside our own heads mentally rehearsing how uncomfortable or nerve wracking a future situation may be…. or likewise spend hours going over a past situation and beating yourself up about it. Both of these do very harmful things to our self esteem!
The Thrive Programme® is an amazingly effective and empowering way to boost your confidence and increase your self-worth!
The good news is that it is actually very easy to change your self esteem using the Thrive Programme®. We create poor self-esteem because of the way that we think of ourselves and process our experiences in life. I will teach you that good self esteem is achievable in just two weeks – even if you feel you have had poor self esteem all of your life.
The Thrive Programme® will provide you with amazing personal insight, allowing you to totally change any limiting belief systems that are adversely affecting your life in just five or six weekly sessions. If you feel that you have a lack of self esteem or self confidence and if it is causing problems in your life then contact me today and become the person you would like to be.

Johnny Webster passed away on December 8, 2001. Funeral services were held December 11. Johnny was a Dispatcher for Piedmont for 31 years. He retired in 1979.His wife Olive,who also retired from Piedmont, and a daughter survive Johnny.
I too share Aubreys statement. I was hired into the Piedmont Dispatch Office to replace Johnny.Who was retiring. Before he left I had the great fortune to recieve training from him and he truly "was one of a kind " and a true Gentleman also.
Johnny was more than a good friend he was my Uncle. He and Aunt Olive helped me get started with PI in 1960 and I had 30 great years with THE GREAT PIEDMONT FAMILY.


On a scale from 0-10, how likely are you to recommend Howard Zacur to a friend?
Dr. Zacur clearly cares about his patients and goes out of his way to be available to his patients instead of letting the on-call/covering doctor in the practice handle things whenever possible. I suffered a miscarriage while under his care and the level of compassion he showed was amazing...Even though he is an older doctor with many years of experience, he is knowledgeable about most current research and standards of practice.
He was kind and gentle bedside manner. He explained to me in detail his plan for me and I trust him. Dr Zacur was also very thorough and informative, also I felt like his regimen for me agreed perfectly to my natural cycle!... 50 mg of clomid cycle days 2-6 uncomfortable side effects from the clomid at such as hot flashes, headaches, major bloat/gas and cramps from cd 8 till ovulation! They were uncomfortable but not unbearable and to my understanding those are pretty common effects and I was lowest dosage. I reacted great to meds peoduced 2 mature eggs one on each side and I ovulated on my own , no need for trigger shot.
he [Dr. Zacur] will keep trying to answer your questions until you understand what's happening in your body...The strategy for us was to perform a hysteroscopy and lapeoscopy to determine whether I had any blockages. At that time, I was diagnosed with endometriosis — which was treated at time of surgery. Unfortunately, it was determined that I have a low egg reserve making IVF very difficult...has an amazing bedside manner. He has always been very caring, understand and kind in his treatment.

Elite performers in the classroom and in sports aren't referred to as athlete-student, but rather student-athlete.
And that's the right order for Rebecca Chandler when it comes to her talent and skills in academics and athletics.
The Bolles senior is gifted in both fields. She's considered Jacksonville's elite female distance runner, after finishing fourth in last fall's Class 2A state cross country meet and adding top-five finishes in the 1,600- and 3,200-meter races at the 2A state track meet this spring.
Complete 2011 All-First Coast Girls Track & Field Teams
The latter two performances earned Chandler the honor of Times-Union All-First Coast girls track runner of the year. She becomes one of the few runners ever to receive a dual honor in the same academic year. She was selected for the same award at the end of last fall's cross country season.
But while Chandler is elite enough to have earned a track scholarship to Vanderbilt for next season, she has a unique perspective on the term of student-athlete, which the NCAA uses so often in its promotional messages.
"I've always wanted to be successful in both, academics and athletics, but my education is more important," she said. "I would put school first before running because I like school more. Running is more of a hobby. I love training, and I love racing, but I definitely think there's more to me than running.
"I don't think that's my life purpose. I don't think I'm good enough for that to be my life's purpose. I definitely have other things I want to do."
Chandler is coming off a series of highs and lows in her senior year at Bolles. Before the season started, she had to endure the pain of losing her grandfather as well as a friend/classmate at Bolles. Chandler's training went through some tough times because of that. But near the end of the cross country season, she achieved a personal goal of breaking the 18-minute mark for her 5K races.
She competed with the soccer team during the winter. When the Bulldogs' season was extended because of postseason success, it gave her a late start to conditioning for the outdoor track season.
But she rebounded from that and went on to set school records in the mile and 2-mile races.
Now, it's time to take on a new challenge at Vanderbilt this fall, and Chandler is eager to do it.
"I felt that Vanderbilt was the best place for me to go where I could keep my life balanced," said Chandler, who plays the piano, guitar and drums and sings. "There were some other schools that I looked at in running where I just felt they were too concentrated on my running skills. I love running, but it's definitely my hobby and not my life's path.
"There are some other things I want to focus on that are important to me, and I feel I'll be able to do that at college. Nashville is Music City and going there will be an incredible musical experience."

People's Picks: A Polyrhythmic Tour with Wild Belle's Elliot Bergman
Whether in the sparse reggae-influenced beats of sibling-duo Wild Belle or in the expansive horns of "post-afrobeat" band NOMO, Elliot Bergman infuses every project with his love of the bright polyrhythms of West African and Caribbean music. There was always music around for Bergman: his mother, Susan, wrote songs for her four children, including "The Little Bird," a tune Elliot would later pass on to Elizabeth Mitchell to record. Emerging from this music-filled childhood in Chicago, Bergman started NOMO with his classmates at University of Michigan in the early-2000s. While the band cites jazz, electronica, afrobeat, and world music as their primary inspirations, Bergman told ALARM that the band mostly sees themselves as a "melting pot of ideas and influences": contemporary and American. While Bergman's younger sister, Natalie, joined NOMO on tour as a teenager, the siblings set out to record Natalie's songs as a duo. The resulting collaboration was Wild Belle, a band BBC Music lauds for their "deceptively sharp sunshine tune" and "surprising line in ground-shuddering dub wobbles." In this month's People's Picks, the elder Bergman takes us from Oklahoma to Jamaica to Indonesia to Kenya to Nigeria, whirling through a world of Smithsonian Folkways sounds.

A Polyrhythmic Tour with Wild Belle's Elliot Bergman
Track 1: "Kumina 'Country' Songs by Kumina Singers from Folk Music of Jamaica
Track 2: "Talkin' Dust Bowl Blues" by Woody Guthrie from Dust Bowl Ballads
This was the first Folkways record I ever bought. It came in to the used record store where I worked in college, Encore Records in Ann Arbor, and I was immediately captivated by the image on the cover. I fell in love with Ronald Clyne's cover designs and the packaging: extensive liner notes, the paper glued on to the vinyl sleeve. I was hooked. My entire paycheck would go to records, and during the time I worked at Encore, I managed to amass a nice little collection of Folkways LPs that continues to grow.

You think it's just gonna be a nice little version of "O Susanna," and then the band kicks in!
Track 5: "Concert Version" by Richard Lerman from Travelon Gamelan: Music for Bicycles
This is another record that I loved before I even heard it. The picture on the cover features the experimental composer surrounded by a bunch of cute girls on bicycles with speakers attached to them. Dreams really do come true!
Track 6: "Ranafafan" by Gong Ensemble from Music of Indonesia Vol. 19: Music of Maluku: Halmahera, Buru, Kei
Smithsonian Folkways has such and incredible wealth of gamelan music, you could spend months exploring the catalog. I had the privilege of studying gamelan and playing in the gamelan ensemble while I was in college. I played the bonang, which is a set of tuned gongs. The instruments that comprise a gamelan are usually as interesting to look at as they are to listen to, and Folkways does such a great job of documenting both the aural and visual beauty of the gamelan.
Track 7: "Brownskin gal" by Joseph Spence from Joseph Spence: The Complete Folkways Recordings, 1958
I remember the first time I heard the voice of Joseph Spence very clearly. I was on tour in Spain with my band NOMO, and our friend Rafa played a CD of his in the van on the way to Granada. The music was immediately familiar, yet otherworldly. I had never heard so much energy and mystery in a solo performer.
Track 8: "Manhã De Carnaval" by Luiz Bonfa from Solo in Rio 1959
This is such a beautiful song and an amazing recording.
Track 9: "The Little Bird" by Elizabeth Mitchell from Blue Clouds
This is a song that my mother wrote for me when I was a child. I became friends with Elizabeth Mitchell through our mutual friend and collaborator, producer Warren Defever, his playlist here contains a number of amazing gems. I told Liz that my mom wrote songs for me when I was a kid, and she very sweetly asked me to send her some of them. If I remember correctly, I left her a voicemail where I sang the song, and then she and Warren worked up the nice version that you hear here.
Track 10: "Praise The Lord (Come Holy Spirit)" by Mary Lou Williams from Mary Lou's Mass
Track 11: "Mating Call of the Spring Peeper (Hyla Crucifer)" from Sounds of North American Frogs
It's always good to know who is making the chirping sounds around you. I love the field recordings that Folkways produced. Another favorite of mine is Sounds of Insects, with a wasp on the cover. This one is not available for streaming or download, but is worth tracking down if you can find a vinyl copy.
Track 12: "Junkanoos Number 1-Instrumental" by Junkanoo Band from Junkanoo Band- Key West
Track 13: "Goma" by Dancers and Musicians from Siyu and Faza from Music of the Waswahili of Lamu, Kenya, Vol. 3: Secular Music
Lamu is an incredible place where different cultures come together on a small island.
Track 14: "Igbin Drums" from Drums of the Yoruba of Nigeria


Book three in the CARELESS WHISPERS series. This is a standalone spin-off of the INSIDE OUT series that follows Ella Ferguson, Sara McMillan's best friend.
Kayden has been Ella's anchor, her passion, the man who held secrets and lies in his hands, and then allowed them to fall into hers. But while their passion burns hot, all has yet to be revealed, and all is not what it seems. And while Ella's story has more pages to turn, so does Kayden's, a man she now trust with her life. Old friends and enemies will return. People will die and people will find new life. In this final, explosive chapter of the Careless Whispers series, she will discover that while her life didn't begin in the alleyway where Kayden found her, it could easily end there.

Panzerzug 75 – niemiecki pociąg pancerny z okresu II wojny światowej, który uczestniczył w tłumieniu powstania warszawskiego.

Historia
Pociąg pancerny "Panzerzug 75" typu BP-44 został przekazany załodze Wehrmachtu 15 kwietnia 1944 roku, w bazie niemieckich pociągów pancernych znajdującej się na stacji kolejowej Rembertów. 15 lipca uzyskał gotowość bojową, po czym przydzielony do Grupy Armii "Środek", od 28 lipca operował w Modlinie.

Po wybuchu powstania, stacjonując od 5 sierpnia na stacji kolejowej Warszawa Gdańska ostrzeliwał pozycje powstańców. Operując na kolei obwodowej ostrzeliwał Stare Miasto i Żoliborz oraz pozycje powstańców w innych dzielnicach Warszawy, między innymi na Powiślu. W czasie powstańczego natarcia na Dworzec Gdański w dniach 20–22 sierpnia znacząco przyczynił się do niepowodzenia ataku, którego celem było połączenie się oddziałów powstańczych ze Starego Miasta z Żoliborzem.

We wrześniu 1944 roku stacjonował w Radomiu, przemianowany na "Lehr Panzerzug 5" i skierowany do Milowic, następnie w lutym 1945 roku wysłany został do Grupy Armii "Wisła". 5 marca podczas odwrotu z Pomorza został zniszczony pod Białogardem przez oddziały ludowego Wojska Polskiego.

Uzbrojenie
Pociąg składał się z załogi liczącej 194 żołnierzy, lokomotywy oraz dziesięciu wagonów chronionych pancerzem o grubości około 30 mm. Etatowe uzbrojenie pociągu składało się z:
 2 armat 7,62 cm FK 295/1(r),
 2 haubic 10-cm leFH 14/19(p),
 2 dział przeciwlotniczych 2 cm Flakvierling 38,
 2 moździerzy,
 4 ciężkich i 26 lekkich karabinów maszynowych,
 26 pistoletów maszynowych,
 102 karabinów,
 71 pistoletów.

Home Happening Now Omar writes in new book "I'm going to burn down everything around...
Omar writes in new book "I'm going to burn down everything around me by adding the fuel of my religion, skin color, gender or even tone"
In her new book "This is What America Looks Like" Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) writes "I am, by nature, a starter of fires. My work has been to figure out where I'm going to burn down everything around me by adding the fuel of my religion, skin color, gender or even tone."
Omar is asked in a new NY Times interview "Couldn't that kind of language be interpreted as a form of demagoguery? Why is it helpful to express yourself in those terms rather than, say, in terms of building things up? "
Omar replies "It's metaphorical. There are many times when people will say, "Something you said has agitated this space." And it's like, no, it's me just showing up that did it. There are times when I will choose to not show up, because I know that my presence brings about intensity that isn't going to be helpful. There's no one else that exists in a space where they have to deal with the hate of anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-Blackness, but also with sexism. People will say it's my "tone." I'm like, you're agitated by my tone because you think people like me should be sitting in a corner, not heard and not seen. Everything that comes out of my mouth is going to be filtered through the lens of you despising my existence. That's the metaphorical adding-of-fire. That was a thing in the primary campaign"
Omar added "Ilhan is divisive. My being given the mic to say anything is angering, regardless of what the hell I say. I could say, "Good morning," and they're already angry."
Omar was also asked "Do you believe there's a connection between what you're describing — the way you're interpreted — and the accusations of anti-Semitism?"
Omar has been accused of anti-Semitism multiple times, including her now deleted tweet where she declared "Israel has hypnotized the world." and referred to "the evil doings of Israel."
Omar replied to the NY Times question "I mean, there are a lot of preconceived notions about what thoughts and ideologies I have that have no basis in reality. It's the same way in which people filter everything through, like, "anti-American," which couldn't be further from the truth. I wouldn't run for Congress to be part of the American government if I was anti-American. It's all dependent on whom you're talking to. You could talk to Muslims, and they'll say, "Because she grew up in America, she doesn't really like Muslims." Talk to Arabs, and they're like, "She's African." Anything that I say or do will be filtered to create an excuse of why they now are trying to call me a bigot."

PPE in Your Truck or Car
Seat belts are easy to use and have saved more than a million lives, but buckling up remains something that at least a quarter of North American drivers and passengers refuse to do.
LHSFNA Management Co-Chairman
Noel C. Borck
"No driver should be so obstinate," says LHSFNA Management Co-Chairman Noel C. Borck."Crashes are simply too common and costly and seat belts too easy to use and too highly protective to warrant such resistance. Protect your future and set an example for your family. Always buckle your seat belt."
Of the 33,000 crash-related deaths that occurred on America's roadways in 2009, more than half of the victims were not wearing seat belts. With the exception of New Hampshire, all states and territories require their use. Even so, about one in seven Americans and one in 12 Canadians do not buckle up.
Crash-related injuries send travelers to emergency rooms every 14 seconds. Every 12 minutes , someone loses a life. Even at speeds well below 35 miles per hour, serious injuries and deaths occur. More often than not, seat belt use determines who survives a crash and who dies.
During a crash, seat belts prevent drivers and passengers from being thrown about and thrown from their vehicles, which is almost always deadly. More than three out of four people ejected during a crash die as a result.
In the United States, seat belt use is mandatory, except in New Hampshire. In Canada, seat belt use is mandatory throughout the provinces. Laws and penalties in the U.S. and Canada, including those pertaining to child restraint, vary depending on state and province, age of a rider and in what seat he or she is sitting.
However, fatalities are actually a very small part of a crash's devastation. For every crash-related death, there are 19 hospitalizations for injuries and another 300 injuries that require medical attention.
Traffic crashes exact a substantial toll on business. Every year, employers pay over $60 billion in crash-related medical and legal costs, property damage and lost productivity. Premiums rise for workers' compensation as well as for health and disability insurance.
The average on-the-job crash costs an employer $16,500. When an injury is involved, expenses increase to $74,000. When a fatality occurs, the financial outlay often exceeds $500,000.
For all employers or those who drive as part of their jobs, driver safety programs with mandatory seat belt use can reduce employee risk and protect bottom lines. Additionally, employers should stress the necessity of seat belt use when commuting to and from work.
What seat belts do:
Keep occupants inside the vehicle. Most fatalities and serious injuries occur when people are ejected.
Restrain the strongest parts of the body, the hips and shoulders.
Spread the force of the collision. The less stress on any one area, the less likely a serious injury.
Protect the brain and spinal cord by keeping occupants from being thrown about the vehicle.
The human collision
Traffic accidents can occur in a split second, oftentimes with horrifying consequences, particularly when seat belts are not worn. Vehicles stop abruptly, but the occupants do not. At the same speed traveled before the crash, they are vaulted from their seats slamming into steering wheels, dashboards, windshields and each other, which is why buckling up is just as important in the rear seat – most people don't– as it is in the front. Seat belt use decreases the risk of dying in a car crash by 45 percent and in a truck or SUV crash by as much as 60 percent.
Traffic crashes are the leading cause of death for people ages six to 27 and the fifth leading cause for all ages. Only cancer, heart attacks, strokes and chronic lower respiratory disease claim more lives.
"Buckling up requires little effort and has undeniable benefits," says Borck. "On and off the clock, make it a habit to always wear your seat belt."

Five New Deer Loads in 6.5 Creedmoor
November 07, 2016 By Joseph von Benedikt
During the 2016 SHOT Show (Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show) I took an informal poll on the 6.5 Creedmoor. According to every single one of the dozen or so custom and semi-custom riflemakers I interviewed, they are building and shipping as many 6.5 Creedmoor rifles as all other cartridges combined.
On top of that, a shocking number of big manufacturers are either introducing models chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor or are expanding their line of 6.5 Creedmoor offerings.
As I've said before, I believe time will prove that the 6.5 Creedmoor is the .30-06 of the 21st Century.
I'm not claiming that it's as versatile as the .30-06 (in elk country the bigger 30 caliber will always hold sway), although in a nationwide sense, it could easily be argued that the 6.5 Creedmoor is far more versatile. It certainly is one of the most inherently accurate cartridges available, and it offers unprecedented levels of performance at a very low cost in recoil, reloading components, and barrel life.
What I neglected during the massive industry show was the fact that ammunition makers are likewise expanding 6.5 Creedmoor offerings. Several boutique loads offering extraordinary performance were already available, ranging from Winchester's 140-grain HPBT match load to Hornady's superbly capable Precision Hunter load.
This year, though, it seems that ammunition companies have really recognized how popular the cartridge is among hunters. (Logically so — it's truly one of the finest deer and antelope cartridges ever devised.) As a result, several outstanding new deer loads are either already on dealers' shelves, or will be soon.
So without further ado, toss another hickory knot on the fire, fill your favorite coffee mug (and splash just a dash of Irish in it), and haul the iPad to your favorite La-Z-Boy to peruse the following offerings. I'll wager that you'll want to try them in your pet 6.5 Creedmoor deer rifle.
Don't have a 6.5 Creedmoor deer rifle? Repent ye, and take yourself to the nearest gun shop to make recompense.
Browning BXR
Browning's BXR (rapid expansion) deer load features a very innovative projectile that opens fast and large, imparting tremendous shock and anchoring deer quickly. The tip of the bullet is made of a 70/30 matrix of copper dust and resin, and it more or less disintegrates on impact, initiating expansion of the gaping hollow point beneath.
I had the opportunity to shoot a mature Wyoming whitetail with the 155-grain .30-06 version last fall as well as watch several other bucks, a big male mountain lion, and an aoudad fall to the bullet.
It performs as advertised, putting deer down with eyebrow-raising effectiveness. Plus, it seems to penetrate better than most other deer bullets designed for massive expansion — a very real advantage on the big-bodied Utah mule deer I hunt around home.
Also impressive was the ammunition's stellar accuracy. Although I have yet to put any of the new 6.5 Creedmoor version downrange, I've tested the .30-06 and .270 versions through several different rifles, and the ammo averaged sub-MOA accuracy in every case.
Featuring a 129-grain BXR bullet pushed at 2,850 fps, I expect that the 6.5 Creedmoor ammo will be similarly accurate and will steamroller whitetail deer. Plus, Browning engineers anticipate that the projectiles' BC will top .550, making it a prime choice for extended-range hunting.
BXR ammunition shrugs off challenging weather conditions, too, virtue of its nickel-plated jackets and cases. While some handloaders prefer simple brass, a look at the ammo preferred by law enforcement working in humid, salty environs will tell you that nickel plated cases are more reliable because they don't corrode and their natural lubricity aids slick feeding. Suggested retail will be less than $30 per box of 20.
Fusion 6.5 Creedmoor
Not long after Federal ammunition introduced the Fusion line, a company representative told me that the engineers had succeeded in making it so good that it threatened the company's flagship Federal Premium line.
Fusion bullets have their jackets molecularly fused to the pressure-formed core, and the innovative manufacturing process proved to provide bullets both extremely consistent and surprisingly tough. As a result, Fusion accuracy tends to be very accurate and the bullets provide deep, dramatic wound channels on game. The company touts "best in class weight retention and expansion," and that's a claim they could ably back.
Engineers designing the 140-grain Fusion bullet for the 6.5 Creedmoor gave it a skived tip to aid long-range expansion, as well as a boat tail to make it aerodynamic.
I haven't yet seen advertised muzzle velocities for the 6.5 Creedmoor Fusion load, but I expect that, like most 140-grain bullets in the cartridge, it will achieve around 2,700 fps. And while this is an article focused on whitetail ammunition, I wouldn't hesitate to use this load on black bear or elk. Suggested retail is $33 per box of 20.
Hornady American Whitetail
It appears that deep within the bowels of the company responsible for bringing us the most successful cartridge introduction this century, the R&D engineers have taken a brief break from devising the future of ammunition and created a simple, practical whitetail load for the 6.5 Creedmoor.
It doesn't feature a super-BC bullet with a heat-resistant tip, or blended propellants that boost velocities above the norm, or anything else extraordinary.
However, and it's a big however, the new American Whitetail load features one of the most proven deer bullets on the continent. The classic Hornady InterLock is typically superbly and forgivingly accurate, commonly offering outstanding accuracy in most of the rifles it's fired from.
I know of at least one premium custom house that uses Hornady ammunition loaded with InterLock bullets to confirm its ½-MOA accuracy guaranteed rifles. If that's not a stamp of approval, I don't know what is.
On impact, the lead-tipped InterLock expands with a fury, peeling back into the classic mushroom shape. Unless the impact is at very high velocities or the projectile encounters dense bone, expansion is slowed or halted by an "InterLock" ring swedged inside the bullets' jacket.
The 6.5 Creedmoor American Whitetail load pushes a 129-grain bullet at 2,820 fps. It's not a particularly expensive load, but if your particular rifle likes it, it's all the ammo you'll ever need for whitetail deer inside of 300 yards. Suggested retail is $29.40 per box of 20.
Nosler Ballistic Tip
In competition shooters' minds, Nosler brass is second only to legendary Lapua match-grade brass — and some count the two equal. Lapua will likely never make 6.5 Creedmoor brass, because the cartridge competes with its own 6.5 Lapua cartridge.
So what you get with Nosler's new Ballistic Tip 6.5 Creedmoor load is arguably the best 6.5 Creedmoor brass that money can buy, already loaded with one of the finest whitetail deer bullets ever devised.
As one old-timer said, "If you can't get your rifle to shoot with Ballistic Tips, just sell the @%#& thing because you'll never get it to shoot with anything else either." There's a lot of truth in that. Nosler's Ballistic Tip bullet is one of the most inherently accurate deer bullets on the market.
The early Ballistic Tip projectiles of decades ago featured very thin jackets, and coupled with the Delrin polymer tips that protected the bullet from deformation in the magazine, aided aerodynamics, and initiated expansion, sometimes the bullets flew to pieces on impact. But within a short time Nosler got the kinks worked out, and for many years the Ballistic Tip has been a gold standard of performance on deer.
Nosler engineers chose to push the 140-grain 6.5 Creedmoor load to a rather mellow 2,650 fps, opting for forgiving accuracy over increased speed and comfortable in the knowledge that with the bullets' rather decent BC of 0.509, it would hold on to velocity well and absolutely hammer deer pretty much as far as hunters would want to shoot. Suggested retail is $36.95 per box of 20.
Winchester Deer Season
Deer Season ammo features a flat-based bullet with a very, very large polymer "Extreme Point" tip. Designed to kill quickly by dumping all its energy into a deer, it should be forgivingly accurate courtesy of its flat-base design.
Unlike most competing designs, the polymer Extreme Point does not have a shaft that penetrates down into the swedged lead core of the bullet. Rather, just inside the mouth of the case the tip's flat base sits firmly against the flat front of the bullet's core. The mouth of the copper jacket fits just under a shoulder on the polymer Extreme Point tip and holds it securely in place. I don't have any test data to prove it, but I believe the design aids accuracy and makes for very reliable, predictable expansion.
With a bullet weight of 125 grains, the 6.5 Creedmoor Deer Season XP load generates a relatively high 2,850 fps velocity, resulting in flat trajectories inside common whitetail distances. I'd wager that it will shoot well out of most rifles, and will result in very short blood trails. Best if all, it should retail at less than $25 per box of 20.
The only caveat that I'd apply to this bullet is that since it expands violently and wallops deer like Paul Bunyan's axe, it shouldn't be expected to penetrate like a Roman javelin. While I wouldn't hesitate to shoot a quartering-to deer on the point of the shoulder, I'd recommend avoiding steep raking shots on quartering-away deer. I doubt the bullet could break down the hip and penetrate sufficiently into the vitals.

Answered => "What are good examples for welcome messages for web sites?" on Quora.
I don't have examples handy. I hope that's ok. I will say, it should be obvious the process is short and simple.
With that said, I personally get frustrated (read: highly annoyed) with the whole "free sign-up" pitch and not much more. If a site can't take the time to clearly explain what it does *and* why it should matter to me, then I typically don't have the time to figure that out on my own either. I'm busy. Make me want to sign-up because I should and not because I've got nothing better to do. Turn-off and deal breaker in my book.
Soapboxing aside, I don't see this as being a cookie cutter, OSFA answer. What you're asking for is how best to increase conversions. That's best addressed with A/B testing, multi-variable testing, etc. It quite possible different types of visits – for example, your examples – are going to have different motivations and therefore require different messages.
In short…test, test and keep in testing.


The Essential Phone was launched in 2017 to a lot of hype. This is because the company behind the phone, Essential, was founded by Andy Rubin who many Android fans and users probably recognize as being the co-founder of Android and also a former executive at Google.
Unfortunately the Essential Phone never quite took due to a variety of reasons, but it looks like the company is ready to try again. In a post on Slashgear, the publication shared what appears to be a set of drawings that allegedly depict the Essential Phone 2, suggesting that the company could be working on it.
Details such as specs are nonexistent at this point in time, but assuming that this will be a flagship phone, chances are we can probably expect the usual flagship specs like the use of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855, dual or triple camera setups, and the works. In addition to the post on Slashgear, there is also a post on Reddit where Vodafone's self-care portal has revealed the existence of the Essential Phone 2.
Some say that it might be a typo, which is possible given how close "1" is to "2" on the keyboard, but at the same time given that it has been more than a year since the first Essential Phone, it does seem like the time is ripe for a successor. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully we'll have additional details to share in the coming weeks or months. In the meantime is anyone excited at the possibility of an Essential Phone 2?

By JONAH BRONSTEIN
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Marcus Semien homered and drove in five runs, Bo Bichette hit a three-run homer, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Seattle Mariners 9-3 on Tuesday night.
The Blue Jays had 15 hits - with all nine starters getting at least one - in the opener of the three-game series while winning for the eighth time in nine games. It's the 35th game in which Toronto had at least 10 hits, matching Houston for the most in the majors.
Semien had three hits, including a three-run homer in the seventh inning - his 19th, the most among major league second basemen. He also had a two-run double in the second inning.
"Our old nemesis," Mariners manager Scott Servais called Semien, who played six seasons in Oakland before signing with Toronto in the offseason. "He's always been a thorn in our side and he had some really quality at-bats tonight.
Vladimir Guerrero had two hits to bring his AL-leading total to 96. His 27 multihit games lead the majors. The Blue Jays also got two hits apiece from Teoscar Hernandez, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. and Bichette, who broke open a tie game in the sixth inning by hitting his 15th home run.
"It's really fun to watch these guys get in the box and take those swings," said Blue Jays starter Robbie Ray (6-3), who struck out 10 while giving up five hits, a walk and three earned runs over six innings. "It's not just the top four, five, six hitters. It's all the way down through the lineup. Everybody is swinging the bat well now."
Ray settled down after allowing two baserunners in the first inning and got 14 outs in a row to earn his fourth win in his last six starts.
"That first inning, I felt like they were more patient, they ran my pitch count up to 30," Ray said. "Then once I turned the lineup over and got back to the top of the order, they were hacking."
Tim Mayza, Jacob Barnes and Tayler Saucedo combined for three shutout relief innings.
Ty France hit a tying three-run homer in the sixth for the Mariners, who fell to 2-2 in the fourth of a six-game road trip. Mitch Haniger and Tom Murphy also had two hits.
Chris Flexen was tagged for seven hits, three walks and three runs over five innings. Rafael Montero (5-3) gave up four hits in the sixth inning, including Bichette's homer.
"That was not a good pitch," Servais said. "It wasn't in the game plan, wasn't what we were supposed to do there. And we paid the price."
Servais said pitchers can't afford to make those mistakes against the Blue Jays' potent lineup.
"They've got a really good offensive club and if you make mistakes, they take advantage of it," Servais said. "Especially in this ballpark."
The Blue Jays improved to 7-6 at Buffalo's Sahlen Field, home of their Triple-A affiliate. They have hit 19 homers and scored 72 runs in those 13 games.
"Every day, it's somebody different," Blue Jays manager Charlie Montoyo said. "It's a great feeling to know that."
STICKY SITUATION
Mariners pitcher Hector Santiago became the first player disciplined under Major League Baseball's crackdown on grip-enhancing foreign substances, as he was given a 10-game suspension Tuesday.
Michael Hill, the former Marlins general manager who is MLB's senior vice president for on-field operations, announced the penalty two days after Santiago was ejected from a game at the Chicago White Sox. Santiago also was fined an undisclosed amount.
Santiago appealed the decision to MLB special adviser John McHale Jr., and the suspension will be delayed until the appeal is decided. Servais insisted before Tuesday's game that there was no foreign substance on Santiago's glove and that it was rosin.
BLUE JAYS TRADE
Toronto acquired injured outfielder Corey Dickerson and reliever Adam Cimber in a trade Tuesday with the Miami Marlins in exchange for infielder Joe Panik and minor league reliever Andrew McInvale.
Dickerson is sidelined with a bruised left foot and expected to be in a walking boot for at least two more weeks. He's batting .260 with two homers and 14 RBIs.
The sidewinding Cimber has a 2.88 ERA in 33 games. He is expected to join the Blue Jays in Buffalo on Tuesday, Montoyo said.
The Blue Jays called up outfielder Jonathan Davis to replace Panik, and designated left-handed pitcher Travis Bergen for assignment
Mariners: RHP Erik Swanson (groin) did not pitch his scheduled rehab assignment for Triple-A Tacoma on Monday because of a sore back. ... 1B Evan White (hip) received a cortisone shot. ... Servais had no update on RHP Justin Dunn (shoulder) following his appointment with a specialist last week.
Blue Jays: RHP Rafael Dolis (finger) threw 25 pitches during batting practice and could be designated for a rehab assignment with this week, Montoyo said. ... LHP Steven Matz (COVID-19) returns Wednesday.
The series continues Wednesday night when Mariners LHP Justus Sheffield (5-7, 5.69 ERA) takes the mound against Matz (7-3, 4.26).

"My name is Georgia Edwards, i'm a second year physical geography student. Since finding climate studies to be a highly relevant and diverse topic at A-Level, it has become my main academic focus as it is applicable to so many different fields.
Fieldwork is one of my favourite parts of the discipline, giving freedom to travel whilst demonstrating theory in reality. I have been lucky enough to work around the UK, in Morocco, Spain and now to Botswana.
This King's Undergraduate Research Fellowship (KURF) is particularly exciting due to participation of academics and likeminded students from the US and Australia. They will lead research and give lectures in the Okavango Delta on different aspects of the environment and its inhabitants. This will allow me to gain more of an academic understanding of conservation and wildlife in the Delta.

H&R London brings us their vintage style big dot black and white swing dress featuring an elasticated cap sleeve with cute striped button up bodice and almost full swing skirt. There's a hidden side zip entry, a built in petticoat (but you can always add a crinoline to make it bigger!), and a removable thick ribbon belt. It's hard to tell this isnt a truly vintage piece.
This dress did not disappoint. Great buy for the money. Fit well & was impressed with the details-cute buttons & side zipper.

When Iowa workers suffer injuries in work-related accidents, they could have grounds to seek benefits through a workers' compensation claim. However, employers and insurance companies have the right to scrutinize these claims and determine if they are valid. As an administrator, employer or insurance company, you may find it beneficial to understand more about workers' compensation defense.

Many employers prefer American-made personal protective equipment (PPE) because these items are usually high-quality and up-to-date with OSHA standards compliance.
Unfortunately, it's sometimes challenging to find PPE and products made in the U.S.A. U.S. manufacturing as a whole has declined since the late '90s, mostly because American-made products have to compete with cheaper-priced products that are made overseas. However, American manufacturers have the advantage of lower shipping costs and access to U.S. customers. This can also allow for a quick response changes in the occupational safety equipment demand or competitor backorders, so they can often offer what businesses are most eager to buy.
Identifying 100% American-made products can also be difficult, as some companies only assemble their products in the U.S., but a portion of or all the parts may be manufactured abroad.

11 Oscar-Nominated Movies You Should Totally See
Marriage Story, 1917, and The Irishman should all be on your watch list before the Academy Awards.
Image via IMDB/Sony Pictures Releasing
On Jan. 13, the film industry and movie fans woke up early to watch the announcement of the 2020 Academy Award nominations. There were snubs that set Twitter on fire (no Jennifer Lopez for Hustlers, Taron Egerton for Rocketman, or Lupita Nyong'o for Us) and plenty of nods that seemed to have always been on lock (tons of love for The Irishman and Joker). But though the Oscars aren't the be-all and end-all decider of whether a movie is good, the list of nominees can be great inspiration for your own watch list. We've gone through this year's crop to single out 11 Oscar-nominated movies that are worth your time.

Nominees Scarlett Johansson and Adam Driver star as an actress and a director attempting to consciously uncouple without going broke, destroying each other, and/or traumatizing their young son. Writer-director Noah Baumbach skillfully demonstrates how the legal apparatus of divorce can bring even the most amiable couples to their breaking point. But it's not as bleak as it sounds: Laura Dern (also nominated), Merritt Wever, Ray Liotta, and Julie Hagerty provide moments of levity, and Stephen Sondheim fans can look forward to not one but two renditions of numbers from his 1970 musical Company.
Honeyland
Image via IMDB/Neon
What it's nominated for: Best International Feature, Best Documentary Feature
This Macedonian-made feature is a labor of love years in the making. Co-directors Tamara Kotevska and Ljubo Stefanov set out to make an environmental film but ended up spending three years off-and-on with their ultimate subject, Hatidze Muratova, a keeper of wild bees in rural Macedonia. The film follows Muratova as she tends to both her charges and her elderly mother, and then contends with the arrival of a family who see the potential profit in her endeavor and decide to try beekeeping for themselves—at great cost to her. New York Times critic A.O. Scott dubbed Honeyland "a lyrical environmental fable" and "a sad and stirring tale of struggle, persistence and change."

Martin Scorsese made an epic for Netflix, and it's been racking up nominations all awards season. Based on the nonfiction book I Heard You Paint Houses, The Irishman is basically a mashup of the filmmaker's greatest hits—mob intrigue; plum roles for Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci; and a decade-spanning story illuminating the life of Frank Sheeran, the mob hitman who took responsibility for the officially unsolved disappearance of labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa. Come for the de-aging technology that allows the actors to play their characters as younger men and stay for the electrifying performances and signature Scorsese grit.

The Sama of this documentary's title is a child born into the Syrian Civil War. A co-production of PBS' Frontline, For Sama's main subject is also the documentary's filmmaker, Waad Al-Kateab. She documents her own life as an activist and a mother, struggling to balance her desire to help the people of Syria with her need to carve out a life for her daughter in the midst of violence and political strife. Watching Al-Kateab and her physician husband do their best to provide their child with some sense of normalcy will remind you not to take your own daily safety for granted.

Perhaps the buzziest film on this list, the South Korean dark comedy has swept away audiences all over the world. Bong Joon-ho directs a sharply funny and fierce ensemble of (shockingly not nominated) actors in an allegory of the way capitalism rots society and forces families to pay the price. If you can, avoid any plot synopsis that's more specific than that. There's a lot more to Parasite than its twists, but why ruin them for yourself?
Pain & Glory
Image via IMDB/Sony Pictures Releasing International
What it's nominated for: Best Actor, Best International Feature
Filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother, Talk to Her) and Antonio Banderas have been collaborating since the early '80s, and that familiarity is essential to their latest project. Pain & Glory conducts an inventory of the life and relationships of an aging Spanish director through several vignettes. Autobiographical as it is, the film is more reflective than indulgent, and incorporates the poetic visuals fans have come to expect from Almodóvar's work.
What it's nominated for: Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Costume Design, Best Original Score
Lady Bird filmmaker Greta Gerwig's adaptation of Louisa May Alcott's classic domestic novel breathes new life into the March sisters, a close-knit, Civil War-era family that most viewers have likely encountered previously in one form or another. In her hands, Little Women offers meta-commentary on the challenges, choices, and derision faced by artists who are women. (It feels relevant to note that Gerwig was snubbed for an all-male list of nominees in the Best Director category.) Perhaps most impressively, this adaptation even makes infamous literary brat Amy March (a nominated Florence Pugh) sympathetic.

This World War I film by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Spectre) is a technical and artistic feat, so it's no surprise that it's in the running for nearly every technical award. See it on the big screen if you can to fully appreciate the uniqueness of the way it was shot and choreographed. Though 1917 was not shot in one extremely long take, Mendes and his team managed to make it look that way. Add in a story of human vulnerability and persistence—inspired by the real war stories passed down to the director from his grandfather—and stirring performances, and you have a war epic that was destined for Oscar glory.

Quentin Tarantino's love letter to '60s Los Angeles weaves together two seemingly disparate stories: that of the enduring friendship between a washed-up actor (a nominated Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stuntman (an also nominated Brad Pitt), and the Manson Family's brief reign of terror. This being a Tarantino film, they eventually collide in a sensational conclusion. But before that, the filmmaker has ample opportunity to show off his affinity for the era and for Hollywood history, recreating it in the most sumptuously lifelike way. Pitt and DiCaprio have buckets of chemistry, and there isn't a weak link in the supporting cast.

What it's nominated for: Best Animated Feature
We'd guess that this is the only title in the Animated Feature category you don't recognize. Fortunately, the French film is easily available on Netflix. Directed by Jérémy Clapin, I Lost My Body has an odd main character in a severed hand, which spends the film tracking the body it's been detached from through Paris. If you choose to watch the English dubbed version, you'll hear the voices of Dev Patel, Alia Shawkat, and George Wendt. But watching with subtitles won't distract from what L.A. Times critic Kenneth Turan calls a "dark, strange and altogether wonderful feature."
What it's nominated for: Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay
Not to be confused with HBO's raunchy series The Young Pope and The New Pope, this feature is more rooted in fact (and doesn't feature, at any point, a kangaroo). It stars Jonathan Pryce as the cardinal who would become Pope Francis and Anthony Hopkins as the aging Pope Benedict XVI, with the two nominated actors sparring, bonding, and determining the direction of the Catholic Church across just a few days. With the church and the papacy being as grand and often secretive as they are, even a fictionalized account of these conversations makes the viewer feel like they're being ushered behind the curtain, and these world-class actors make it all worthwhile.
