Dusty Bergman (W 3-1) threw a three-hitter and the HEIDEKOEPFE tied the best-of-five championship series in the German Baseball-Bundesliga against the TORNADOS with a 5-0 shutout. Bergman gave up just three hits and four walks in nine innings, striking out four.
The offense provided him with a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third on a RBI double by Ray Stokes and a RBI single by Andreas Janzen. Two frames later they added three more runs on a RBI single by Robert Gruber and a two-run single by Peter Dankerl. Sam Whitehead, Stokes and Ryan Lilly had reached on a pair of walks (one intentional) and an error to load the bases with two outs.
Rene Franke (L 1-3) went seven innings and conceded five hits, five runs (2 ER) and five bb for the loss. Games three to five will be played in Mannheim next weekend.


CASA in downtown L.A. hasn't had an easy start. Barely a month after it launched in January 2009, chef Kris Morningstar decamped for Mercantile and District. The Mexican restaurant consistently draws happy hour customers but hasn't had much success cracking L.A.'s foodist crowd. Owner Mario Del Pero hopes to change that with the recent addition of chef Alex Moreno, who he brought in to transform the menu into a more seasonally-based affair.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, 32-year-old Moreno worked in San Francisco for a significant chunk of his career, at Michael Mina's RN74 and as the chef de cuisine at Tres Agaves for five years. He's also worked as a tour chef for Van Halen, Destiny's Child and Nelly and has done stints in the kitchens of Melisse, Jiraffe, Spago, Bastide and Hatfield's.
Moreno's plan: bringing his own version of dishes from local taquerias (with their agreement) onto CASA's menu. It's a strange concept, to be sure, but Moreno believes it will set the restaurant apart. First up is USC-adjacent La Taquiza with its famous mulitas. Turn the page for the first part of our interview, and check back later for part two and a recipe from the chef.
Squid Ink: What were you brought in to do at CASA?
Alex Moreno: A whole revamp of the menu. When Mario brought me along, he definitely wanted me to do seasonal menus, change it up four times a year and get inspiration from some local taquerias. He was like, "Alex, you're from Los Angeles. You know the whole scene. Go out there and check out some local taquerias."
SI: What was the idea behind bringing dishes from local taquerias onto CASA's menu?
AM: With La Taquiza, we went there and saw the mulita: It's already a great dish. What can we do to innovate it? What can we do to make it better? I was walking around downtown and went to the farmers market and saw some great peaches. Grilled peaches -- let's see how it works in a mulita.
SI: How did the La Taquiza owners respond when you told them what you wanted to do?
AM: They responded really well. Mario, our owner, is a USC alumn and the [La Taquiza] owners are also USC alumni, so it kind of was easy for us.
SI: Has it been hard convincing other taqueria owners?
AM: Sometimes they're hesitant. They're like, "Why would you do that?" Why not? Nobody else does that. It's unique. But it's hard to convince the owners sometimes. They're like, "Really? You're going to promote us?" And it's like, of course.
We're inspired by you guys, and we want to promote your restaurant as well as promote our restaurant at the same time. We want to grab one of one of the dishes that you are known for and innovate it a little bit. We're not going to take the exact same dish and put it on our menu, but we're going to get the same concept and do a couple tweaks on it and make it ours.
SI: Do you worry that people will say, Why should I get a $9 mulita at CASA when I can get a $3 one at La Taquiza?
AM: No, we want to promote them. We want people to go in and check out local taquerias. It's about people knowing what's out there. Los Angeles is a Mecca of taquerias. There are so many great places out there that people don't know about.
SI: Having grown up in Los Angeles, what are some of your favorite taquerias?
AM: My favorite is El Mexicano down by the Orpheum Theatre. Growing up, me and my mom used to go there every Sunday. [And] La Casita Mexicana. I know it's not a taqueria, but it's definitely one of the places I really want to get in here. It's in the works, hopefully.
There are so many out there. I just recently tried Tinga. It's great. Their menu's cute. It's simple. It's unique. Somebody like them, I'd love to go in there and go, "I want to bring one of your dishes onto our menu, and I want to support you." We want you to go there. It's all about supporting the local community.
SI: In terms of the L.A. Mexican restaurant scene, which has everything from low-end taquerias to very high-end restaurants, where do you see CASA fitting in?
AM: It's definitely not Rivera, and it's definitely not a taco truck. I'm inspired by local ingredients. I'm inspired by the farmers market. We want to push it to the next level, elevate the regular taco. Our taco al pastor, it's a beautiful traditional double-marinade, but we kick it up a notch with applewood-smoked bacon. It adds a little depth.
I try to keep it simple and light, especially during the springtime. There's no reason for Mexican food to be heavy and oily and greasy. As one of my chefs said, you can let the ingredients shine on their own.

Credit Union Sues Fintech Vendor for Security Lapses
By Fahmida Y. Rashid
Enterprises are ultimately responsible for safeguarding customer data, even if the work is being handled by a service provider. A small credit union is trying to hold its technology vendor accountable for allegedly leaving security vulnerabilities unfixed in the software platform and not adequately safeguarding account information.
Bessemer System Federal Credit Union, of Greenville, Penn., said in its lawsuit that the web platform from Wisconsin-based Fiserv Solutions inaccurately reported member account records and information and failed to secure confidential member information and financial records against access by unauthorized third parties. The technology platform was Bessemer's "lifeblood," as it was used to run the credit union's website, generate statements, and track deposits for its 4,311 members (and nearly $38 million in assets).
"Bessemer's member information has been subject to several instances of critical security vulnerabilities while in Fiserv's custody—each based on baffling and amateurish security lapses," the lawsuit said.
Fiserv allegedly had a security breach in 2016 which exposed confidential information belonging to Bessemer members, including names, tax ID numbers, and parts of account numbers, to an unauthorized party. Instead of treating the breach as a "wake up call" and fixing the issues, Fiserv ignored the problem, Bessemer said.
Not only did Fiserv ignore the security issues, the fintech giant allegedly threatened those who discovered vulnerabilities "in an effort to conceal these problems from affected financial institutions and consumers," Bessemer said in court documents filed in Pennsylvania's Mercer County on April 26 and posted online by CyberScoop. The lawsuit also accused Fiserv of "silencing its [Fiserv] clients from disclosing to other affected clients when there are security problems, and holding customers' data hostage when those customers seek to go to competitors."
As one of the three companies that power much of the digital infrastructure used by smaller banks and credit unions, Wisconsin-based Fiserv has thousands of clients around the world and commands more than 37 percent of the market. Any problems in Fiserv's platform would presumably impact thousands of other small banks and credit unions that rely on the technology for their operations.
No Security 101
Bessemer claimed Fiserv did not "make the proper financial investments to keep up with emerging technology and security risks." For example, Fiserv allegedly did not regularly update systems with security patches, even delaying updates fixing high-security vulnerabilities for more than 30 days after they became available. Fiserv "inexplicably stopped" installing and updating antivirus software on Bessemer's systems. The lawsuit also alleged Fiserv has products and services in its environment that are past their end-of-life or end-of-service deadlines, which means those systems are no longer receiving security updates.
"As these products and services are no longer marketed, sold or upgraded by manufacturers, they are more likely to be exploited and to have unpatched security vulnerabilities," Bessemer said.
According to the lawsuit, Fiserv's "Charlotte" account processing system, contained a large number of bugs which impacted Bessemer's operations, such as misrepresenting loan payments, cancelling accounts, reporting incorrect principal balances, charging for cancelled services, and not accurately recording when loans were paid off. Other bugs caused the system to put the wrong address on customer mailings, false mortgage interest, late fees, and incorrect due dates for loans. On many occasions, Charlotte was unavailable, which meant the credit union could not access records and information needed to process transactions.
"Despite Fiserv's claimed expertise, Fiserv has misreported Bessemer's account records and information, while being plagued with security vulnerabilities that affect the privacy of thousands of Bessemer's members," the lawsuit said.
Threats, Not Fixes
This isn't the first time Fiserv is being taken to task for its security problems. In 2017, Fiserv settled out of court with the Parks Heritage Federal Credit Union, of Glen Falls, NY, over alleged flaws and defects in the account processing system. Back in August 2018, KrebsOnSecurity's Brian Krebs reported a "glaring weakness"—a broken access control—in Fiserv's web platform which exposed "personal and financial details of countless customers across hundreds of bank web sites." A person could change a number included in the Fiserv URL and access alerts associated with different accounts. Fiserv initially did not respond to the person that found the issue, but deployed a security patch within 24 hours of the Krebs report.
Krebs noted at the time that hundreds of other Fiserv-affiliated banks would be affected.
Bessemer conducted its own investigation after this incident and discovered that an unauthorized person could register an online account tied to the bank accounts of offline customers, provided the person had the account number and the last four digits of the account owner's Social Security number. The account number is easily obtainable, say from a check, and the platform didn't block logging in after a certain number of failed attempts, anyone could have cycled through all possible 4-digit configurations to guess their way in.
Fiserv responded with a "purely cosmetic fix" that did not address the problem, and then "thanked" Bessemer with "an aggressive "notice of claims" threatening "civil and criminal prosecution if Bessemer discussed Fiserv's security problems with third parties," the lawsuit said. Bessemer was told it could not notify other Fiserv customers who could have been affected as well.
"To Fiserv, it was more important to keep its security problems under wraps than to fix security holes that potentially threatened scores of financial institutions," the lawsuit said.
Bessemer hired security ratings company Security Scorecard in February to evaluate Fiserv's software. The review uncovered more than 40 weaknesses in Fiserv's security, such as not enforcing HTTPS, which exposed users to possible man-in-the-middle attacks; not implementing protections to prevent cross-site-scripting; not blocking login attempts after multiple failed login attempts, would help prevent credential stuffing attacks; using an obsolete SSH shell; relying on weak ciphers; no rate limiting; and no CAPTCHA support. Bessemer observed network activity (twice) that were indicators of malware infections.
Security Scorecard rated the fintech company a "C" on an A-to-F scale.
"A company such as Fiserv rated below a B is 5.4 times more likely to suffer a consequential breach, a dismal state of security for a company such as Fiserv that is entrusted with safeguarding highly sensitive information pertaining to the customers of more than one in three financial institutions in the United States" Bessemer wrote in the lawsuit.
Bessemer hiring Security Scorecard was a very practical—and reasonable—decision, since Bessemer was able to see the risks to its own business and operations that were the result of Fiserv's security decisions. Fiserv even told the SEC in its recent 10-K filings that clients should "conduct ongoing monitoring and risk management for third-party relationships."
"Fiserv's lax security controls have harmed Bessemer on multiple occasions," the lawsuit contends.
Assess and Act
Fiserv does not comment on legal matters, but denied any wrongdoing.
It is up to the enterprise to assess the software and technology it buys, and the services it is receiving from providers, and understand its risk posture. When the problems are too serious, the enterprise has to either put in its controls to mitigate the issues or switch to an alternative vendor. In this situation, Bessemer stopped paying Fiserv for the computerized back office and data processing service and will completely sever ties with the company. The lawsuit is seeking unspecified damages from negligence, breach of contract, and unfair trade practices.
"To protect the credit union's members, the credit union is replacing its core processing vendor and will be taking appropriate legal action against the vendor," Charles Nerko, the lawyer representing Bessemer in this lawsuit, told SecurityWeek.
"If Fiserv is allowed to continue its course of misconduct, it will be encouraged to continue threatening its clients when security issues are reported, rather than making the proper investments to ensure that consumers' information is being properly safeguarded and accurately Reported," the lawsuit said. "That result would significantly threaten the thousands of financial institutions that Fiserv services and the innumerable consumers who entrust Fiserv to safeguard their most sensitive financial information."

Number of Diagonals in a Polygon
A diagonal is a segment that connects two non-consecutive vertices in a polygon. The number of diagonals in a polygon that can be drawn from any vertex in a polygon is three less than the number of sides. To find the total number of diagonals in a polygon, multiply the number of diagonals per vertex (n - 3) by the number of vertices, n, and divide by 2 (otherwise each diagonal is counted twice).

Fox News' Tucker Carlson: Latino Immigrants Made Town 'Volatile' for White People

Fox News host Tucker Carlson ran a segment on his show this week discussing a recent piece in National Geographic on how white people feel left behind because of demographic shifts in Hazleton, Pa., a former coal-mining town.
Carlson, who is becoming the network's faithful defender of President Donald Trump's anti-immigration policies, lamented the "bewildering" pace of demographic changes "without any real public debate on the subject."
He conveniently left out the part where the magazine states the town was "slipping into decline until a wave of Latinos arrived."
Carlson began, "In the year 2000, Hazleton's population was 2 percent Hispanic. Just 16 years later, Hazleton is majority Hispanic. That's a lot of change.
"People who grew up in Hazleton found out that they can't communicate with the people who now live there. And that's bewildering for people.
"That's happening all over the country. No nation, no society has ever changed this much this fast.
"Before you start calling anyone bigoted, consider and be honest, how would you feel if that happened in your neighborhood" he asked his viewers.
"It doesn't matter how nice these immigrants are. They probably are nice; most immigrants are nice. That's not the point. This is more change than human beings are designed to digest.
"This pace of change makes societies volatile, really volatile, just as ours has become volatile."
#ICYMI Check out the segment from tonight about the changing demographics in America pic.twitter.com/eM1VJkN8OG
— Tucker Carlson (@TuckerCarlson) March 20, 2018
According to a 2016 New York Times report, because Trump "has denigrated immigrants repeatedly, at times without distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration," residents opposed to the demographic change in Hazleton clung on to his rhetoric.
"Donald Trump's position on illegal immigration plays a big role in his support not only in Hazleton but in northeast Pennsylvania," said Lou Barletta, a Republican who represents the region in Congress.
Latinos continue to move to Hazleton from larger cities like New York and Paterson, N.J.
Jamie Longazel, now a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, grew up just outside Hazleton, told the Times that the "Hispanic ascendance emerged from seismic economic shifts."
"When the local coal mines began to close in the 1950s, Hazleton residents raised money to build an industrial park that attracted factories to the region," the Times reports. "When the factories began to leave in the 1990s, the city mobilized again.
"Local officials won state permission to create one of Pennsylvania's largest tax-free Keystone Opportunity Zones. A Cargill meat processing and distribution plant arrived in 2001. Other distribution businesses have followed, including an Amazon.com warehouse."
And, "many residents claim that city officials advertised for low-cost immigrant labor on billboards in New York or New Jersey," but Longazel said that claim hasn't been validated. He said the reality is "native-born folks" didn't want the low-paying jobs offered.
"The new jobs don't pay as much as the old jobs did, and the reality is that native-born folks were just not interested," Longazel said.
Who Is Carlson Trying to Influence with His Anti-Immigration Rant
Not surprisingly, 60 percent of Fox News viewers describe themselves as conservative, compared with 23 percent who say they are moderate and 10 percent who are liberal. The average age of a Fox News viewer last year was 65 and they were predominately white males, according to Nielsen research.
But Carlson is also appealing to younger white, conservatives.
In 2017, for cable programs in the 18-49 demographic, "Tucker Carlson Tonight" earned 355,000 viewers, reports Deadline. It comes second to Sean Hannity's show on Fox, which tied Rachel Maddow's MSNBC program for the year's top spot in the younger demo — 417K viewers.
Carlson, who has been said to mainstream white nationalism, may be appealing to the ilk of Richard Spencer and others who carried Tiki torches at a rally on the University of Virginia campus last year chanting, "You will not replace us."
In January, Carlson interviewed Canadian pundit Mark Steyn, who defended white supremacists.
"The white supremacists are American citizens," Steyn said. "The illegal immigrants are people who shouldn't be here."
Asians Largest Immigrant Group by 2055
Carlson makes reference to "reckless immigration policies" alluding to the belief that undocumented immigrants, especially Spanish-speaking immigrants, are overtaking the country. But the origin of the increase in immigrant populations goes back decades.
As a result of Congress passing the Immigration and Nationality Act in 1965, immigrants and their descendants have fueled the U.S. population. The law replaced the national origins quota system with a seven-category preference system emphasizing family reunification and skilled immigrants, which increased immigration from Asia, Africa and Latin America.
According to the Pew Research Center, most immigrants (76 percent) are in the country legally, while a quarter are unauthorized. In 2015, 44 percent were naturalized U.S. citizens.
Carlson emphasized the increase of the Latino population around the country, but the increase in Asian immigrants is about the same. In 2015, 11.6 million immigrants living in the U.S. were from Mexico, accounting for 27 percent of all U.S. immigrants. However, by region of birth, immigrants from South and East Asia combined accounted for 27 percent of all immigrants, a share equal to that of Mexico.
Between 2007 and 2015, the number of Mexican immigrants decreased by more than 1 million. Following the Great Recession, immigration from Latin America slowed, particularly from Mexico.
"By race and ethnicity, more Asian immigrants than Hispanic immigrants have arrived in the U.S. each year since 2010," Pew reports. "Asians are projected to become the largest immigrant group in the U.S. by 2055, surpassing Hispanics."

Health physics professionals need a system that has high sample throughput, is mechanically reliable, electronically dependable, and easy to use.The training requirements for an HP system can be challenging. A site may have a large number of contract users, who must be trained very quickly. HP managers also need a system with flexible data connectivity, so sample data can be transferred easily to a LIMS or other application for analysis and reporting.
Many HP departments today have systems purchased 15-20 years ago that must be replaced. Protean Instrument Corporation is uniquely qualified to supply replacement systems, since the founders of Protean were responsible for designing and building most of the classic LB5100 "dual rail" systems in use today. The WPC-9550 and is the direct descendant of these classic systems, The WPC-9550 has greatly improved performance, tremendously improved maintenance, and no loss of the critical features you've come to depend on with a classic system!
Health Physics applications often require screening very large numbers of samples at relatively high activity levels. Cleanup sites often have release limits of 20 DPM alpha and 200 to 1000 DPM beta. At these levels a system with ultra-low background, like the WPC-9550, is not really needed. What is needed is a very fast counting system. Protean's ASC (Automatic Swipe Counter) is the perfect answer. The ASC uses the same control hardware as the WPC-9550 and MPC-2000, and is coupled to a sample changer that cycles about three times faster than any automatic system on the market. The ASC is also smaller and lighter than the WPC-9550. The counting performance is identical for alpha background and efficiency. Beta efficiency is the same, but beta background is typically in the 40-50 CPM range. Due to the high sample change speed, the ASC can actually count large numbers of samples faster than the WPC-9550.
Protean's MPC-2000 is also excellent for health physics use. It is a full featured desktop instrument that is ideal for remote sites, portals, or any use where the sample volume is low. The MPC-2000 also shares the same user interface as the WPC-9550 and ASC, and in general has the same interface options. It also has the same detector options as the ASC.

"My Wife Denied Me Sex For Eight Years" – Man Tells Court
An Aba-na-Ohazu Customary Court, near Aba, on Tuesday dissolved a 33 –year-old marriage between Eugene Okoli and his wife, Harrieth, on grounds of denial of conjugal rights and irrational behaviour.
The dissolution of the marriage, contracted in 1983, followed a suit filed by Okoli claiming that his wife had been behaving irrationally and had denied him sex for eight years running.
He said, "My wife is cantankerous and nagging, without justifiable cause. She has for over eight years now denied me my conjugal rights.
"She now reacts to me in a despicable manner, which I think is intolerable. And all the efforts I have made to reconcile with her have failed because of her intransigence.
"From her ways of doing things now, it is clear that there is no more love existing between us."
He, therefore, prayed the court to dissolve the marriage having seen evidences that it had broken down irretrievably.
In her defence, she alleged that her husband beats her at will, for which she had reported him to the Human Rights Commission at their zonal office which serves Abia in Enugu, Enugu State.
She stressed that she entrusted her husband with the gains of her trading, which gave the family three shops at Cemetery Market and four plots of land in Aba and had benefited much from her efforts.
She said that her husband had sold out two plots of the land with only two remaining now, while occupying the four rooms bungalow built in one of them at Alaoji, Ugwunagbor LGA, Aba.
Harrieth, therefore, rejected the idea of dissolution of the marriage but opted for separation between her and her husband.
Magistrate Diamond Olewengwa, having heard the parties, noted that it was obvious that the parties were no longer compatible as love, which is a cardinal point of marriage, was now extinct.
He said, " Indeed, I am of the view that rather than continue to live in a union that may lead to either party losing his or her life, it is better to severe them for both to remain alive."
The magistrate, therefore, declared the marriage dissolved and asked Harrieth to return her N1, 100 bride price, hence both are now free to remarry anybody of their choice.
Olewengwa granted Harrieth continued ownership of two out of three shops she claimed and gave Eugene ownership of the remaining properties the family owned.

Display title : What does the CRNA credential mean to you?
A CRNA is a highly qualified, competent nurse with clinical training based on the best evidence. It's a professional with critical thinking and leadership skills that provide the best quality of care to a culturally diverse society.


There is often much discussion in the shop with customers about what the most appropriate type of lead is. We would always recommend a standard 3 – 6ft lead or adjustable length training lead as being the most practical/ safest choice but thought it would be useful to try to provide an objective look at the pros and cons of the all the main types.
Standard style leads with trigger hooks generally vary from 3ft to 6 ft. If your dog is smaller you may wish to opt for slightly longer and it also depends on how much length you want to give your dog when out on walks. If it is slightly longer it can be a more useful aid for training heelwork/loose lead walking.
Allows your dog more freedom to explore & learn to make choices for themselves, whilst still allowing for closer control when adjusted to 3-4 foot length. Great for using with front attaching harnesses – clip one end to the front ring & one to the back, to balance your dog's walking & help train not to pull, whilst taking pressure off the delicate neck area. Also great when used with head collars such as Haltis or Gentle Leaders, where again one end is clipped to the head collar & one to your dog's regular collar for extra security (should the head collar slip off) & closer control for pulling/reactive dogs. These adaptable leads can also be clipped around your waist and be used to walk your dog hands free (great for eliminating tension on the lead which may be aggravating reactivity) or can clip onto a walking belt. They can also be used to walk 2 dogs at one time (attach one clip to each dog).
Long Lines come in a variety of lengths (anything from around 10 to 60 feet). We stock 5m (16 feet) and 10m (32 feet) long lines in the shop. Anything more than 10 metre can become extremely unwieldy. We often recommend that the 5m is sufficient for general recall training and to allow a bit of exploration safely. 10m lines or longer are often used for tracking/scent work training.
Long lines are often used as an aid when recall training as it allows you to create a bit of distance and to give your dog a bit of freedom whilst still maintaining control.
We would always suggest choosing where to use a long line carefully. If it is an area with lots of obstacles, shrubbery, trees etc it can get tangled. Open park space if best. It can also present a trip or tangle hazard with other dogs or people so best used in quiet areas.
We would also recommend using a harness with a long line or being very careful not to let your dog run to the end of the line quickly otherwise this can put strain on the neck/back and could cause injury.
They are not a practical lead for everyday use. They take a lot of winding up to give full control and would be risky in busy areas or by roads. They tend not to have a handle either.
Take special care when using these with large/fast breeds e.g. greyhounds, who can accelerate at great speed & cause injury to both themselves & you when they suddenly reach the end of the line & come to a halt with a jolt. For this reason, we would not recommend using a long line with a headcollar.
Another way these lines can be used is to let them trail along the ground behind your dog, with you stepping on the end to prevent your dog taking off when they reach the end – we recommend combining this with a recall cue so that your dog is given warning rather than coming to a stop with a jolt.
Flexi leads are very controversial and many dog trainers do not advocate their use. The number of reports of injuries/accidents with these types of leads is much higher than those with standard leads.
Flexi leads are not good for use when teaching your dog to walk to heel as they don't teach them the feel of the end of the leash thus meaning dogs who are walked on them often don't have good lead manners. They can send the dog confusingly mixed messages : sometimes you have to stay close; sometimes you can go 30 feet away. This plainly encourages dogs to pull frequently to test the distance allowed at any given time.
There is friction burns, wrap around risk to the dog, the walker and other dogs and members of the public if not used appropriately.
They are not recommended (especially by children) for use in built up urban areas with busy roads as they are easy to accidentally let out & cause an accident. We would recommend a standard 3 – 6ft lead or training lead as a safer alternative in these situations.
They are good for using in rural locations or areas free of other dogs/busy traffic/other path users, to allow dogs who perhaps don't have adequate recall or cannot safely be let off lead around livestock a little more freedom, so long as you are always prepared to reel the lead in when you encounter others.
It is important to use correct size for dog's weight. We recommend using tape rather than cord & 5 metres rather than 7 metres because this is safer in terms of injury to both you/your dog/the public & more visible to others (who otherwise may not realise your dog is actually on lead at all).
Controversial. Not suitable for dogs who pull because they tighten around their neck, essentially strangling them, whenever they pull. OK for dogs who walk on a loose lead. Popular with people who do gun dog training & other activities which require a dog to be quickly put on/off lead without fiddling with a clip/collar. Not suitable for long necked dogs like sighthound breeds due to the damage they can cause to structures lying within the neck such as the wind pipe & important nerves/blood vessels.
We would not recommend slip leads for "corrective" heelwork training as this can be painful and dogs will often still pull regardless. We have included some links to useful articles for alternative methods for loose lead walking training.
Not really suitable for use in dense urban areas where there is a lot of traffic & busy roads. Good for rural use to give dogs a bit more freedom whilst still on lead. Can absorb some of the shock from a dog pulling/lunging, minimising risk of injury to both dog & handler. Recommended for running with your dog because of this. Can often be attached to/wrapped around the waist for hands free walking/running. Not really suitable for reactive dogs (if used around the stimulus they are reactive to) because there is lack of close control. Not good for teaching loose lead walking because sends confusing messages to the dog.
Good for dogs who chew nylon/leather leads! (Though NB the handle is still chewable!!) A bit heavy for some more delicate breeds, need to be careful not to accidentally injure dog with metal. Hard wearing.

Have you tried SPRINKLES (TM)?
Have you tried Sprinkles (TM) with your dog yet? The idea is to throw small moist pieces of dog food/treats over a large area of grass without your dog seeing you doing this and then allowing them the time to seek out the Sprinkles in their own time. It is a great way of stimulating your dog mentally and can help to reduce stress and boredom.

Q: How to add time delay before copy message since it editing after few seconds. Discord.js, node.js The script is copying my messages from my main server to the secondary. But I need to add some delay because sometimes I edit embeds. (it send always the first one before editing). What I can use to delay getting text messages and embed messages before sending them?
import Selfcore from "selfcore";

const client = new Selfcore()
const gateway = new Selfcore.Gateway(

gateway.on("message",  m => {

});

A: What you're asking is not possible with the package you are using. You are not using a fully featured bot package like discord.js. You are using selfcore, a simple package for running simple self-bots.
More specifically, the message event runs every time a message is posted. Selfcore doesn't have a way to call Discord to ask for a specific message and its edited content.

The 2017 Chicken Marketing Summit in North Carolina involved hundreds of leaders from fast-food chains, marketing agencies and poultry production companies discussing the fact that Americans are eating less poultry—and what to do about it. Richard Kottmeyer, a senior managing partner at Fork to Farm Advisory Services, explained that Millennials need to be "inspired and coached" to consume more animal products, according to an article published on WattAgNet.com, an industry website.
"Compared to their parents, Millennials are more likely to believe in evolution and accept that climate change is occurring. They seek out facts and science to better understand a complex world, but the poultry industry doesn't have any fact-based information to defend its cruel, unsanitary practices," states animal rights advocate Nathan Runkle via EcoWatch.com. The majority of chickens raised for meat have been bred to grow so large so quickly that they collapse under their own unnatural weight. North Carolina has enacted an "ag-gag" bill, making it illegal to photograph or videotape animal abuse.

Kirk Elder, Senior Citizen from Peebles
Kirk Elder is Life President of The Peebles Showboaters Amateur Dramatic Society. For many years a columnist on The Scotsman newspaper, he is currently "in recovery" from the experience. He enjoys parma violets, cloudless winter nights, and the films of Mr Burt Lancaster. He is currently writing his autobiography, "And Not For the Better".
Farewell to The Great Entertainer, Mr Michael Grade. (You Can Stop Spinning In Your Grave Now, Lord Reith)
My relationship with television is, I admit, unusual. My mother, Mrs Elder (or Ma'am), came from Brethren stock, and thus harboured a suspicion of all electrical appliances, with the exception of her Kenwood Chef, which was employed to make all manner of cakes (fairy, angel), puddings (butterscotch Instant Whip, mostly)and a surprising array of savoury dishes which did not usually require the intervention of a powered whisk (omelette, baked mince, and Beef Wellington, which, improbably, took its flavour from a tenderised gumboot).
For many years, she resisted television's sultry advances, and lectured nightly on the dangers inherent in what she called "blue-light" homes, these being houses in which the living room light was turned off, leaving the inhabitants bathed in the afterglow of the cathode ray tube. This blue light was, I understood, every bit as pornographic in its symbolism as a red bulb, and far more common, even in the town, where dens of iniquity were plentiful.
But, as the years went by, Mrs Elder (or Ma'am) softened. The invention of interior design - whilst otherwise regrettable - led to the production of television sets disguised as antique furniture, thereby allowing Brethren families, and those of us whose pursuit of joylessness was merely Presbyterian, to exist in a happy state of deception and self-delusion. When visitors came round - which was not often - the doors of the front of the television swung shut with the ominous finality of Mr Auguste Rodin's Gates of Hell, thus creating the innocent illusion that the Elder family was in the habit of staring at the tallboy of a winter's evening. (This was not entirely untrue).
As is the way with sin, Mrs Elder (or Ma'am)'s attitude softened. Eventually, the doors of the television were replaced with a net curtain drawn across the screen. This was not helpful when trying to read the words on Call My Bluff, but it did lend an implication of voyeurism to The Duchess of Duke Street.
But some rules remained. Commercial television was not encouraged, and Mrs Elder (or Ma'am) could sometimes be heard complaining about "ITV people"; these being uncouth individuals with a brash disregard for good manners. Her contention was that ITV's audience, being by definition weak-willed, was unfit to endure the bombardment by advertisements which was, and is, accepted as the norm on commercial television.
In this, she was, and remains, ahead of her time, and I doubt whether she would be mourning the decision of Mr Michael Grade to abandon public service at the BBC for the gay diversions of the independent sector. It is a fact unreported in the hours of broadcasting devoted to Mr Grade's career that, having already attracted the nickname Pornographer-in-Chief during his stint at Channel 4, Mr Grade has turned the BBC into a republic of mediocrity. Under his watch, Mr Jonathan Ross was awarded £18m of licence payers' money to compensate for his imperfect diction. The schedules are full of minor celebrities pretending to be ballroom dancers. News reporters no longer wear ties. Even the programmes of the admirable Sir David Attenborough have been given a musical soundtrack, on the assumption that the viewer will be unable to appreciate unaided the majesty of nature.
I am aware that time does not stand still and we may never again enjoy programming of the standard of Softly, Softly, Tomorrow's World (with Mr Raymond Baxter presenting) or Call My Bluff. But we should not mourn the Great Entertainer. He will, I trust, be very happy under the blue lights of ITV.

Q: Linking to sources from scaladoc? I need to link to sources on github from my scaladoc. I build those docs with the sbt's doc task.
There are two problems - first, I do not like creating several nested empty directories for my .scala files, so I usually pack them all in one - like src/main/scala/org.rogach.scallop instead of src/main/scala/org/rogach/scallop. Is there a way to make links to docs work without splitting that directory?
Second, when I put this line in my build.sbt:
scalacOptions in (Compile, doc) ++=
  Opts.doc.sourceUrl("https://raw.github.com/Rogach/scallop/master/src/main/scala/")

docs contain links to sources, but all those links just point to the source root url, not files themselves. What am I doing wrong?

A: From the output of scaladoc help:
-doc-source-url <url>        A URL pattern used to build links to template
                             sources; use variables, for example:
                               €{TPL_NAME} ('Seq'),
                               €{TPL_OWNER} ('scala.collection'),
                               €{FILE_PATH} ('scala/collection/Seq')

(Yes that is the euro symbol.)
Something like the following should work as an argument to sourceUrl if all of your sources are defined in a package:
https://raw.github.com/Rogach/scallop/master/src/main/scala/€{TPL_OWNER}.€{TPL_NAME}.scala

A Last Look at California's Glaciers
Tim Palmer
Jun. 12, 2014 07:30AM EST Climate
Beyond the world we know, in the shaded recesses of our highest mountains, lies another California. It's a world of rock and ice, of brilliant light, of fearsome snowstorms that over time have formed a stunning collection of magnificent glaciers.
Many people don't realize that glaciers even exist in California. In fact, we have about 130.
Most cling to steep slopes of the Sierra Nevada, but they're disappearing at a rapid rate. Geologist Greg Stock of Yosemite National Park reports that even Lyell Glacier—second-largest in the Sierra—no longer has the mass required for it to creep downhill, which is one condition that defines a glacier.
With a strange but passionate marriage of gusto and sadness, I recently spent a full spring, summer and fall photographing these glaciers. It was one of the most remarkable years of my life. Climbing to mountain heights brought astonishing scenes as the sun edged over the horizon and bathed the ice in morning's golden glow. At campsites I was enchanted by glacier-fed streams that nourished rivers below, including the Tuolumne, later tapped by San Francisco through the Hetch Hetchy system, and the Owens, bound for Los Angeles. The glacial runoff continued long after other waterways had withered in summer's drought.
It was a privilege to see such beauty. It was tragic to know I would not see it again.
Among all the changes wrought by global warming—heat waves, raging floods, rising seas, menacing droughts—the melting of the glaciers is the most immediately visible for anyone who ventures high enough to see them.
One might reason that California's glaciers are already small and of little consequence, but the same forces that are melting them are also reducing the mountains' entire snowpack, which will diminish this century by 30 to 70 percent, according to scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. That snowpack accounts for 60 percent of the water used in California.
How does one respond to such fatal news? New dams are not the answer because we've already built on all the dam sites that made economic and engineering sense, and further ponding of water increases evaporative loss.
Rather, water delivery systems need to be made more efficient to cope with shortages and to leave adequate nourishment in rivers for the greater community of life, including commercial fisheries at sea. Floodplains need to be safeguarded as open space to accommodate higher floods and to recharge groundwater. Certainly we need to reduce the source of the problem—burning fossil fuel—and the state Legislature has taken steps to bring our discharge of global-warming gases down to 1990 levels. But even if those contested efforts succeed, they're not enough. Reductions at the essential scale can hardly be imagined as long as our population is slated to double within a half-century or less. If we can't do the job now, how will we do it then? Our commitment to endless growth needs to be challenged, or the problems stemming from unlimited needs will be unlimited as well.
Take one last, sweet look at these glacial gems of California. It's too late to stop their melting. But perhaps their loss can help inspire us to turn the tide of destructive change and protect the workings of the natural world upon which we all depend.
Tim Palmer's most recent books include his photo collection, California Glaciers (Heyday, 2012) and Field Guide to California Rivers (University of California Press, 2012).

Sarkozy points to errors in the way Europe has been built and calls for change.
EU reform plans have been put in jeopardy after Irish voters rejected the treaty in the vote on June 12.
The treaty needs to be ratified by all 27 EU member states before being enforced.
Sarkozy said EU countries must continue ratifying the key charter.
Sarkozy is due to travel to Ireland on July 11, a day after he addresses the EU parliament in Strasburg.
France has defined four priorities for its EU presidency - immigration, defence, energy and the environment, and agriculture.
Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission.
A ceremony is to be held at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris later on Tuesday.
On Monday evening, the Eiffel Tower was lit with blue and gold stars, symbolising the EU colours.
Meanwhile, Lech Kaczynski, the Polish president, has said he will not sign the Lisbon Treaty because it is pointless after Irish voters rejected it.
"For the moment, the question of the treaty is pointless," Kaczynski said in an interview published on Tuesday.
In April the Polish parliament voted to ratify the Lisbon Treaty, but it needs the signature of the president to become definitive.
"It is difficult to say how all this will end. But on the other hand, to say that without the treaty there won't be a Union is not serious," Kaczynski said.
Kaczynski warned EU leaders against trying to isolate or pressure Ireland.
"If one breaks the rule of unanimity one time, it will never exist again. We're not strong enough for this type of solution," he said.
Last month EU leaders said the ratification process would continue, but they agreed to an Irish request to delay trying to find a way to overcome its "no" vote until the next summit in October.

First Impressions: Carnegie Hall by Neil Young | The Old Grey Cat
The Neil Young Official Bootleg Series -- Carnegie Hall 1970 (back cover)
During our "unplanned/forced sabbatical" here at Thrasher's Wheat, we're posting occasionally to keep discussion flowin' in the Neil Young Fan/RUST communities.
From the always insightful Jeff Gemmill @ The Old Grey Cat, First Impressions: Carnegie Hall by Neil Young.
The main difference between the December [Carnegie Hall] and January [Massey Hall 1971 and Young Shakespeare] shows can be found in the set lists; the December concerts contained only a smattering of unreleased songs, while the January gigs reversed the ratio.
The change in emphasis is hinted at here, actually, when Neil says after a few (very faint) requests following "Birds" that, "I, you know, could do all those songs, you know, but I have new songs I'm more interested in. I've outgrown some of those other songs." Yet, as the below track list demonstrates, this show relied primarily on the tried-and-true; only five of the 23 songs were unknown to the audience at the time, though – if they didn't buy 45s – "Sugar Mountain" may have been new to them, as well, as that was only released as a b-side. (For comparison's sake, the Massey Hall concerts featured 10 new songs out of an 18-song set.)
I'm getting far afield, I know, so back on point: The midnight show at Carnegie Hall was recorded and released by bootleggers; I'd hazard a guess that it's in the collections of most hardcore fans, be it on tape, vinyl or compact disc, though not necessarily under the Carnegie Hall title. In the old fogey days of the original Old Grey Cat website, in fact, it was one of my favorites of the many unofficial releases that passed across my desk—as evidenced by its inclusion on this "best of the unofficial canon" piece I wrote for the short-lived Da Boot 'zine in late 1999. The two shows are similar, obviously, with the main difference being the placement of "Sugar Mountain," which closed the first set during the early show, and the exclusion of "Dance, Dance, Dance." Beyond that, he's in the zone for both.
The performance and songs of the official Carnegie Hall bootleg are great and that the sound is topnotch; if you listen via headphones and close your eyes, you'll swear you're in the room.
If you're a fan, in other words, you'll love it. In a way, it's essentially a greatest hits-type review of Neil's career up until that point in time, though both artist and audience weren't aware of that fact. I know some folks decry his vocal abilities, but to my ears that high lonesome voice echoes aspects of my soul. As way of an example, I played Carnegie Hall during my eight hour-drive home after a few days of visiting family up north last week.
Listening to these bittersweet odes about love, life and more while on the road was akin to hearing my childhood, young adulthood and early middle-age fade into the horizon behind me. "Don't let it bring you down/it's only castles burning," indeed.
Thanks so much Jeff @ OGC! Exactly on the audio quality and headphones -- we feel like we're inside Carnegie Hall and its magnificent acoustics. So clean and pristine.
And thanks again to all for your continuing support of this blog with your comments and love while we try to keep the candle burning here @ TW during our "unplanned/forced sabbatical".
peace & love,
thrashers

Nice review. Thanks for sharing.
I ended up waiting to hear the vinyl version of Carnegie Hall instead of streaming, and I must say it is a brilliant concert along with a beautiful recording. Neil's vocals are just so good throughout, and I particularly enjoyed the acoustic version of Southern Man, performed with such an articulate approach both vocally and guitar. Goosebump inducing stuff to be sure.
Every concert Neil has done over the decades have all been unique experiences with different energy and creative choices. Different line ups and different styles of music, so for me personally, I can't get enough concerts from the man. I don't care how similar the set lists are, as each show has its own special vibe that only happens that one time. The Timeline Concerts have all been wonderful, with several of them deserving candidates to receive a proper official release. For those who think they have this period covered with the previous archival releases should really reconsider. This Carnegie Hall show deserves to be in every Neil Young collection as the quality of both the performance and the recording is absolutely top tier live material.
I also want to give credit to Chris Bellman for the beautiful job he's been doing with the LP mastering for Neil. The records he has done have been nothing short of reference quality. For us vinyl junkies out here, it is a real gift, so a big thank you to Chris.
After hearing this first edition of the Bootleg Series I am extremely grateful that we have more additions coming soon. And as Alan said; "It's a great time to be a Neil Young fan"…….. and I couldn't agree more.
Peace 🙏
P. S. This isn't really a review as I've only heard this once, so a review sometime in the near future…..

We can't begin to thank you enough for your contributions here on TW Dan.
Your steadfast support of TW over the years -- and more recently during our troubles -- has been both inspiring and humbling.
we can only say that this biog's for you! And for the many other neil fans out there keeping the flame burning.

Hi Thrasher -- hope you and yours are "recovering" (for lack of a better word) from your weather-induced home invasion.
Here's my input into the discussion -- I modified an earlier blog entry since it made sense to install Carnegie into the pantheon that way. Others may disagree, and certainly will. Bring on the Rainbow, Ducks, and Bottom Line!
Here's the link -- and thanks for everything you do.

I only just noticed that the full Trocadero concert (1997) is now available as 'Concert of the Moment'.
i.e., both sets are there together.
I am not sure when this happened - I last went looking for second set on Saturday I think it was.

Thanks for the heads up. What a show! I am with Dan on this: Let's do an official release!
Glad the wait paid off, Dan! Yes, the world is in rough shape, but the Neil Young Universe is chock full of blissful mountains of NY recordings. Our decades of fandom are reaping an abundant Harvest. No need to die and go to Heaven to immerse oneself in the full dose; it can be had right here on Earth.
Thank you Neil Young for toiling in your artistry through the decades. We are your grateful fans, soaking it all up like a Sponge, full of gratitude and pleasure.
Thanks to the contributors to TW and to Thrasher & Thrashette for the enduring commitment to the blog and to us, the Hard Core legions of Neil Young fanatics… fan / addicts to the most worthy music Art ever found. Have a great day. Alan in Seattle

Alan, really fine words, I totally agree. Before I ever commented on this site, I would look forward to visiting and reading comments. I look back and all I can do is express gratitude both for this blog and what it takes to keep it going and to Neil Young's intense labor over so many decades. A lot of shit going on in my life right now and every day I spend at least a few minutes here on Thrasher's Wheat. Thank you.

Excellent article thanks.
I would second the notion here about the fidelity of the vinyl issue. I picked up a copy a few days ago and the minute the needle came down on Down By The River I was stunned by how good this record sounded. Dan's comment on the mastering are insightful and I am sure very true. Having spent years listening to the bootleg of the second show a bootleg I thought was a very good listened at an excellent rating. Let me tell you it is nothing compared to this beauty. Maybe the hall itself has something to do with ambience of this record also you certainty feel you are in Carnegie Hall, makes me wonder how good Neil would sound at the Disney Hall in LA whose acoustics are just mind bending. Now I am starting to question whether I should get the other official releases of this tour on vinyl. What a start to this new series offered up by NYA.
For those interested in boots there is a new book on the history of Trade Mark of Quality boots called "A Pig's Tale". There are two Neil entries and on CSNY entry. The Neil entrees are from this 1970/71 tour - Boulder CO, and LA Music Center. Check out the book here https://geniusbookpublishing.com/products/a-pigs-tale-open-edition?variant=39432020164707.

Hang in there Abner. To quote Danny Barnes, wildly divers Banjo slinger, "Put more water in the soup, there's better times a'comin' " Until then, Squid Game provides a distraction. The show's creator said Trump winning office made him realize it was time to do it, a project born 10 years ago. One Dystopian Nightmare made other possible. Yikes. Have you checked out the Trocadero show from '97 yet? It's insanely excellent. Sending positive, uplifting vibes your way, hopefully not too much gibberish. Alan in Seattle
… not divers…..
Random sharing, a window into Alan's taste in music: I was a Deadhead, and part of the ethics of Deadheads back in the day was "Music is free." We traded tapes. And so, I would never buy a bootleg. I traded tapes with a huge SRV fan from Iceland. Good old Snoori, he had the SRV tapes, and the final show, 9/27/1990 at Alpine Valley, WI. I got a tape of that from him.
I traded CDs with an old Rustie named T-Bone from FL. We met up when I vacationed in Florida in2000. He hooked me up. He ripped me a CD of Time Fades Away ripped from a virgin vinyl copy he scored! He gave me a few other then-unreleased albums on CD like On The Beach, Hawks and Doves, American Stars n Bars, and Re-ac-tor. I was so happy to get these. I lost track of T-Bone. Did any of you remember him?
One of you TW guys gave me a link to rip "A Letter Home" clean version. I thank you for that! . You guys were pretty good sports about the neat crappy quality of that recording. And if you paid like $150 or something you could get the F'n deluxe copy that almost sounded good. Many of the songs were excellent. Some not. On the Road with Jack White pounding on the piano? It was out there with the singing and all. I was pissed at the time for Neil demanding High Res, inspiring me to buy a Blu ray surround system for NYA1.. only to turn around and sell this endearing / shitty sounding, off -speed album. Agh!
Back in the mid 2000's I scored Dylan's Basement Tapes in MP3 form before it was put on sale legitimately as a 10disc set. The Mother Lode! That was the world's first (and ultimate) bootleg LP outside of the NY world.
I bought my first bootleg in 1996, a Stevie Ray Vaughan live rarities bootleg. That was about it for buying bootlegs until the modern era on Amazon.
By now I have snapped up NY Bottom Line '74, a few live Soundgarden albums, a few by The Clash, and a live Johnny Cash radio broadcast from Unchained era called "Unchained in a Rusty Cage" which has him playing those songs. But I bought a ton of music and official releases. They made some good money from me.
Allright, I hope I haven't wasted too much of your time with my ramblings. Stay safe, Be Well. Alan in Seattle
All of my Amazon "boots" are radio broadcasts. So it's legal. Also got Dylan / Petty live AU 1986.
I am glad Neil is releasing the bootlegs himself with better sound resolution. I need to listen again. I heard greatness.
And I am happy he let the better first show get released instead of the bootleg. I think it's cool that he improvised like that.

I keep a small jar of this liquid on a shelf under the galley sink for that unhappy moment when someone spills red wine at the dinner table, or onto the carpet. It is a technique I found in an old book, many years ago. We have used it with amazing success for years.
Blot up as much wine as you can with dry paper towels.
Wet a wad of clean paper towels with the Spotter liquid and blot the stain, using new towels and liquid until the spot is removed.

Occupational Medicine: Welcome Message
Welcome to the Division of Occupational Medicine at the Department of Medicine at the University of Toronto. Occupational medicine is defined by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada as a medical discipline that emphasizes prevention and deals clinically and administratively with the health needs of both individuals and groups with respect to their working environments and includes the recognition, evaluation, control, management and rehabilitation of occupationally related diseases and injuries.
We currently have nine faculty members who work in a variety of settings including academic, specialized clinics, government and industry. We collaborate with other subspecialties, particularly dermatology, respirology, clinical immunology and allergy, clinical pharmacology and toxicology and physical medicine and rehabilitation in our clinical teaching and research activities. Our core clinical site is at St. Michael's Hospital. We also have strong links to the Dalla Lana School of Public Health through its Division of Occupational and Environmental Health (MPH programs and Master's of Science in Community Health – Occupational Healthcare stream.)
Our mission is to meet the needs of individuals and populations with respect to their work and health and to meet the future challenges of a changing world of work by training leaders in the field and conducting research and knowledge dissemination.
The division is active in teaching research and service. The Occupational Medicine Residency Training Program is one of three accredited programs in Canada. It is a two-year subspecialty program with entry through either general internal medicine or public health and prevention medicine. The program combines clinical rotations with rotations in government and industry and didactic training. The division is active in research, particularly through the Centre of Research Expertise in Occupational Disease.

Having slept quite well, I woke up one fine morning refreshed and in an excellent mood. People who know me will note that this is exceptional behavior and perhaps even cause for alarm.
My routine had all the usual morning hiccups associated with my as yet decaffeinated state: I dropped the spoon while making my coffee; I found a dark thread on my white bathrobe, which it seemed I had inadvertently put on inside out; the butter knife slipped from my hand mid-toast; reaching for it, I hit the bread and overturned it; I took a new piece of bread (and new knife) and re-booted. Thus reconfigured, I proceeded to my breakfast.
No one had been injured or mutilated, and I had managed to keep myself alive in those few crucial minutes before the coffee. Business as usual.
When we all sat down — amicably enough I thought despite their criminal predispositions — they explained it all to me rationally. I had summoned them, it seems, through Serbian superstition.
By dropping the spoon, it meant that a woman would visit; she was blond because I found a dark thread on my bathrobe (crni visi, bell misli). She brought me new clothes because I had been careless enough to inside-out the above bathrobe. And although I appreciated the shirt, I could have had less of the robbing-at-gunpoint business. But, there again, it was my own fault because if you place the bread upside-down, you will have no money.
The man, who had not said anything up until now because of his full mouth, had come along because I caused a knife to fall (and therefore meaning a man would visit). By taking a new piece of bread with another on my plate (had I done that?), it signalled that the household would he hungry: so he stuffed all my food into his impressively capacious oral cavity.
In my semi-consciousness, I had inadvertently broken ALL the unwritten rules and superstitions that I could cram into the thirty-seven seconds it took me to break them. We believe, it would appear, that things happen for a reason — we meet people, we get money and lose it, we are hungry, and we are either happy or not as a result of Cosmic Forces which we marshal to do our bidding by superstitions. There is no room tor random chance: in Serbia, if there is no legislation covering it, be sure that a superstition will lend itself to the occasion.
The woman told me, while the man was still chewing my leftover cufta, that we have many of the same superstitions. A Serb will not walk under a ladder and is not fond of Friday the 13th. If you put your bag on the floor, you will have no money, and if you spill the salt, someone will cry. She went on to say that if you stir the soup with a knife, there will be quarrels at home: if you stir the soup with a knife, I thought, maybe you should not be in charge of the cooking.
A black cat crossing your path is Bad Luck. To counteract this you must wait until another person walks in front of you and breaks the cat's hex. One reader told me (again, a true story) that she once waited, with a gathering crowd of superstitious folk, two hours until some ingenuous person walked through the cat's wake of evil.
Cosmic Forces and random chance. Who knows what to believe in? Blaise Pascale's famous dictum on the existence of God seems to apply: What harm does it do to believe? If God exists, you win! My breakfast routine may never change (although I will definitely stop answering the door) because I still cannot bring myself to adhere to these superstitions.

Numerous vendors of handmade and local arts and crafts.
Event sponsors that are more than just random companies hoping for increased exposure.
Community Groups and outreach teams.
The juried art competition (with its coveted cash prize!).
As anyone who has checked out the festival in years past can tell you, the location for the weekend is one of the primary draws to the Union Street (Music) Festival. Located—duh—on Union Street, the festival's backdrop is both the stunning San Francisco Bay and the Victorian mansions that have been transformed over the years into boutique shops, fine dining restaurants, cafes, art galleries, and other such luxurious spaces. Surrounded by all this beauty, local musicians performing in styles like Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass, and Country (as well as some less easily classifiable bands) will provide your day with a fitting soundtrack.
The Union Street Music Festival begins on Saturday, June 3rd, with the first band (Graham Nancarrow) taking the stage at Jaxson Bar at 12:00pm. The festival then runs throughout the day on Saturday and through Sunday, with even more bands, more food, more vendors, and more fun for the entire family.
If you are looking for San Francisco events in Early June, then the Union Street Music Festival should skyrocket directly to the top of your list.


Disarm the Austerity Bomb. Repeal the Sequester.
The economy shrank for the first time in 30 months. Why? Because of an unexpected drop in government spending. Yet the "sequester" – automatic across-the-board spending cuts – are scheduled to bring the hammer down on the economy on March 1. This is a ticking austerity bomb. We must disarm it. Use the form below to tell your representatives in Washington: Disarm the Austerity Bomb. Repeal the Sequester.

A second successive clean sheet was encouraging for Frickley Athletic, but their failure to get a goal at the other end left a frustrated feeling as they missed a chance to climb into the top half of the Evo-Stik League's East Division.
The goalless draw at Stamford did extend the Blues' unbeaten run to seven matches and lifted them up a place in the table to 12th, but they would have been in ninth had they brought back all the points from their travel to Lincolnshire for the second week running.
They so nearly repeated the feat of the previous week at Spalding United when they had won 1-0 courtesy of an injury-time winner from a defender.
This time the Frickley contingent were left disappointed as Greg Young's header from a corner appeared to possibly go over the line before being cleared, but the officials ruled no goal.
Frickley started with the same 11 that played against Spalding and were looking to quickly double up, having beaten Stamford 4-1 at Westfield Lane just two weeks previously.
Their hosts defended better this time, aware of the threat offered by Jacob Hazel, Ant Wilson and company.
Chances were at a premium throughout the game and it was hard work for both sides. Todd Jordan did set up Hazel, but his shot was blocked out for a corner and Tyler Walton released Wilson only for his shot to be saved and the follow-up from Hazel to go over.
Into the second half the pattern remained the same, although Frickley were indebted to goalkeeper Hugo Warhurst, who made a fine save after a rare dangerous Stamford attack.
A home player could count himself fortunate to only receive a yellow card after leaving Blues defender Jameel Ible on the floor in the goalmouth, but there were few talking points about attacking football as the teams and the wind cancelled each other out.
That was until the controversial decision in the last minute when Ben Algar's corner was headed down by Young. All the Frickley players were adamant that the ball had crossed the line, but the officials did not agree and the hosts escaped with a draw.
Man of the match was a close run thing between hard working forward Wilson and wing-back Algar who tried his best to instigate attacks while the back line once again looked strong as did the midfield trio of Jamie McGuire, Walton and Jordan.
The result meant that manager Martin McIntosh has still only tasted defeat once at Frickley in 12 games. He has certainly succeeded in tightening the team up after they were leaking goals, but will now be looking for more of a cutting edge again in attack.
Frickley are back at home this Saturday when they will try again to close the gap on the teams in the play-off positions. They take on Lincoln United who are just behind them on goal difference. With both teams only two points behind Loughborough Dynamo in seventh there is plenty at stake if they can win.


The cyber war between Armenians and Azerbaijani hackers is never ending. Just like today when Armenian hackers leaked trove of data containing personal information of Azerbaijani citizens.
Armenian hackers from Monte Melkonian Cyber Army hacked into the official website of Azerbaijani customs, stealing highly confidential personal information of 5650 Azerbaijani citizens.
One part of the leaked data folder contains Names, Father name, Surnames, Date of birth, Passports copies, ID cards, Pin Codes, telephone numbers and emails addresses.
The other part of leaked data contains resumes/CVs from encotec.az, an Azerbaijani engineering company.
In an exclusive conversation with hackers, HackRead was told that reason for targeting and leaking such data was in response to the recent attack by Azerbaijani hackers.
Other than the custom's website, hackers also defaced 45 Azerbaijani websites, leaving a YouTube video along with anti-Azerbaijani messages.
"Go to Azerbaijani customs website and try to login with passport ID and its pin code we leaked, we can assure that it will let you log in'', group told HackRead.
The following screenshot has been taken from leaked data guiding how to login into the custom's domain to reach user's personal details.
After scanning the data, we have found it to be legit and highly confidential and sensitive. In order to respect people's privacy we will not post the leaked data.
Both Armenian and Azerbaijani hackers have a history of targeting each other cyber space. In June 2014, Azerbaijani hackers hacked Armenian President and ministry websites.
There are no diplomatic relations between the two countries and they are still technically at war because of the ongoing Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and dispute.
We respect your privacy, so the data won't be shared with anyone.

Future Talent Summit to Tackle Career Strategies for CHROs, Offers Exclusive Discount for JHRS Members
Future Talent Council
The organizers reserved 20 places for JHRS members at a reduced attendance rate.
As previously reported, JHRS recently forged a partnership with the global organization Future Talent Council, kicking off a collaboration for the upcoming Future Talent Council Summit to be held this June 18 and 19 at the Tate Modern in London.

As such, the session will cover a career strategy teardown to define what makes an effective CHRO in 2019 as well as in 2030. Attendees will also learn to pinpoint the key skills and responsibilities CHROs must invest in now to build a future-ready career.
Also to expect are general industry sessions such as "Gig Economy: On vs Off Balance Sheet Talent Strategies." There are also more thematic ones such as "Can We Lean on Lawmakers: Talent Policies for the Future" and "Tomorrow University."

Hey... say something!


Create a 'point of sale display' to go above the fruit and vegetables in a local green grocers shop. The shop is in a small precinct which houses a baker, a newsagent, an independent shoe shop and is on the route to and from a respected primary school.
The final size of the display will be 2 X A1 Landscape. I am allowed to either work with photograph's, create illustrations or use both to produce two images one of fruit the other of vegetables. I can use individual fruits/veg or cut up/segments or all of the above.
Ask yourself – Does the fruit look edible? Would I like to eat it? If not can you say why not/what might improve it?
Is the overall design 'clear and dynamic'? Would it catch your eye from a distance?
Can you see a 'conscious decision about the use colour to describe tone, shadow and surface marks' – poor choices can make food look unappealing, moldy etc.
Feel free to make any other comments/observations.
This entry was posted in Critique, Graphic Design and tagged Assignment 2, Exercise:Point of sale display on November 19, 2013 by Christy Archer.
I think the colours in version 2 are much more attractive. I think this is because they are clearer colours, as in less 'dirty' if that makes sense. So the second one is more attractive in terms of the fruit.
In terms of wording… perhaps the words could be angled more so that it feels like the eye flows better down them. At the moment I feel like my eye struggles to work out what the poster is saying as the words feel disjointed. So I wonder if changing the angle of the words so that it's more natural to read might help with that.
Visually I prefer the white text, but I think the black stands out more so would be better for catching the eye… but I prefer how the white text looks within the whole image… so perhaps darkening the fruit colours, whilst still maintaining the 'purity' of the colours, might be a way of helping the text to stand out.
I like the idea of having the fruit on the brown paper… reminds me of peaches in those dimpled boxes… I wonder if you could do something like that? So have each of the fruit encased in the brown paper… if that makes sense?
I agree with Ben. I prefer the second design. The brown paper adds to the organic/local feel which I really like! I also like the simple designs of the fruit and the colourfulness. I think that all fits very well with the feel.
For the yellow pepper and the rosette I would probably try to find colours that are more distinct from each other to create more balance… otherwise I find my eye struggling to figure out: is it the same colour and if so, why? Are they different….? So clarity would help with that.
Similar to Ben, I also struggle with the composition of the words, I find it hard to recognise a shape/flow in it and it does feel a bit disjointed which doesn't make it look dynamic necessarily.
In terms of the writing, I do think it is quite small and would not catch my eye from afar.
Thanks guys for your comments. I like your idea Ben of the fruits wrapped in paper not sure how I'll pull that off though (still working on skills with the software). Thanks Maria for the images and examples of text placement, I like the Peppers image, the style of the writing and placement could work if I create a box/brown papers to place the fruit in so the words can move around an object rather than sit on it.
I'll try some things and get back to you!
Looking at the wording of the questions you ask whether I would like to eat the fruit and veg- I guess this isn't something that comes across from the designs. It may do more with photos of the images or some sense of juiciness or the inside of the veg/ fruit. At the moment they look quite flat. It's not that I mind the design of them but just they don't make me want to eat them if that's something important.
Can you try the rosette either smaller or with only one hanging thing? – currently seems to dominate the poster in one block of colour.
I like the idea of the brown paper bag. Could you play with this idea some more- like using the bags somehow in the design and making that link clearer.
Last thing- I'm just wondering how the context for the poster e.g being near a school is impacting your designs. Could there be a more playful way of displaying that would appeal to children as well as adults?
