KBL after the first half, which home stadium had a lot of people?
Basketball fans couldn't find a basketball court in peace for about three years due to Corona 19. The 2019-2020 season ended early with Wonju DB and Seoul SK jointly winning due to the appearance of Corona 19, and the 2020-2021 season opened without spectators, after which only limited spectators were allowed to enter. It was only at the end of the 2021-2022 season that 100% spectator acceptance became possible due to the easing of distancing.
This season, 2022-2023 SKT A-Dot Professional Basketball, fortunately opened with no spectator restrictions. Masks are still required to be worn indoors, but many basketball fans have gathered at the stadium. A total of 320,082 people visited the stadium by the end of the first half. Which club has the most spectators?
SK received a total of 45,370 in 13 games held at its home, Jamsil Student Gymnasium, with an average of 3,517, the highest. In the match against Anyang KGC, the official opening match, 4889 seats out of 5400 seats were occupied, and it started off pleasantly. Although they suffered a sluggish performance at the beginning of the season and fell to the bottom, after the return of Choi Jun-yong and Choi Seong-won, they showed an upward trend every day, and SK rose to the third place in a tie with Ulsan Hyundai Mobis. It attracted the largest number of spectators thanks to its improving performance and advantages in the metropolitan area.
The second is Jeonju KCC. KCC, which was expected to grow in popularity with the signing of Heo Ung and Lee Seung-hyun as free agents in the offseason, enjoyed the effect, selling out all seats from the opening game. A total of 47,923 people entered 16 home games, including 3 games played at Gunsan Wolmyeong Gymnasium, even outside the metropolitan area, and the average was 2995.
The club that recorded the least number of spectators was Daegu Korea Gas Corporation. Gas Corporation is a 2nd year freshman club founded last season. The reason why the settlement of Daegu is not complete and that it is a non-metropolitan area is the result of holding the ankle. It played 17 home games, the most among 10 clubs, but received a total of 22,439 spectators, with an average of 1,319, the lowest.
9th is Suwon KT. Despite being in the metropolitan area, a total of 23,047 spectators in 16 games recorded an average of 1,440 spectators. On December 15th, it held the disgraceful record (542) of the minimum spectator record this season. At the time, it was the lowest in the league, and it was a record that occurred due to adverse conditions such as a heavy snow warning. Afterwards, KT, which succeeded in rebounding with the replacement of foreign players, is recording more than 1,000 spectators in its recent 4 home games. 바카라

Library and Information Science Program Records
Collection contains academic policies, accreditation expense reports, board meeting minutes, surveys, promotional materials, brochures, and grant proposals related to the Library and Information Science Program at the University of Denver from 1955 to 2000.
Other: 1977
University of Denver. Library and Information Science Program (Organization)
In 1930, University of Denver's Board of Trusties had a unanimous vote to establish a School of Library Science with the recommendation to follow the guidelines of the American Library Association (ALA) . ALA budgeted $5,000 for the 1930-31 academic school year to help start the program with a reoccurring budget of $10,000 for the following three academic years to be used for the program . In September of 1931, the school opened .
In 1947, the School of Librarianship Graduate Program was established and the school officially offered a Master of Arts degree for Library Science . This was not a new degree, but rather a change in requirements. In 1985, the school shut down per a decision made in 1984 to try and help with a debt issue at the University , but it was chosen to reopen upon a unanimous vote in January of 1995 . In 1996, the school partnered with Lucent Technologies to offer three-tiered certificates in the field of telecommunications that students could enroll in classes to obtain .
ALA accreditation was sought after from the moment the school reopened and was achieved in the summer of 2004. When DU received this accreditation, it was the first time in the past 28 years for a new school to gain accreditation.
Currently, DU offers a two-year program through Morgridge College where students can pursue a Masters in Library and Information Sciences.

Vote-By-Mail Ballots Counted In Tuolumne County: No Shifts Among Leaders
By Bill Johnson	 Published Nov 7, 2008 04:45 pm Updated Jan 31, 2009 01:39 pm
Sonora, Ca — The 2,810 vote-by-mail ballots that were dropped off at Tuolumne County polling locations on Tuesday have now been counted, and there were no shifts among the leaders.
"Although they are still unofficial, we don´t believe that there is a way that the results will change," says Elections Official Debi Russell.
The two races that were still in question after the initial results were counted on Tuesday evening included a County Supervisors race and a School Board contest.
For the District One Tuolumne County Supervisorial seat, incumbent Liz Bass now has 2,562 (52%) votes to challenger Randy Selesia´s 2,365 (48%).
In the Summerville High School Board of Trustees contest, David Marquez was the overall top vote getter with 2,727 (35%). In the race for the second seat, Dennis Spisak now has 1,864 votes (24%) to Adrienne Alderson´s 1,759 (23%).
Russell adds that overall voter turnout topped 80%. There are still some provisional ballots to be counted, which could put voter turnout at 81%.

LA County Sheriff says deputy arrested, accused of rape
LOS ANGELES, Calif. - A 10-year veteran of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department was arrested for allegedly having sexual contact with a pair of female inmates, Sheriff Jim McDonnell announced today.
Deputy Giancarlo Scotti, 31, was arrested around 6 p.m. Wednesday, the same day of the alleged assaults at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, McDonnell said. Scotti, who was arrested while on duty, was booked on suspicion of two counts each of rape under color of authority and oral copulation under color of authority. He was booked at the sheriff's Norwalk station and released on $100,000 bail.
He has been placed on administrative leave, McDonnell said.
The sheriff said the alleged crime ``points to a violation of public trust and of the law.''
McDonnell said one of the female inmates who was allegedly assaulted filed a complaint, and a subsequent investigation revealed that there were two alleged victims.
``At this time there's no indication or evidence that any other personnel were involved and the focus of this investigation remains on one individual,'' the sheriff said.
McDonnell called the alleged behavior ``disgusting.''
``The crime of this nature is horrific,'' McDonnell said. ``Criminal misconduct, especially criminal misconduct that preys on a vulnerable population, will not be tolerated and will be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,'' he said. ``We have a public obligation to follow the evidence and the facts. We have a moral duty to assure our public and the inmates in our care that we take these allegations very seriously.''

For many Americans, Veterans Day is just a day off from school and work and maybe a chance to get some extra chores done around the house before the holiday season. For others, it is a day to honor our living veterans, those men and women who have served our country in the military and helped to preserve our freedoms.
Although the Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended World War I, was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Palace of Versailles in France, the actual fighting ceased seven months earlier. Veterans Day is officially observed on November 11 in recognition of the day when an armistice — or temporary cessation of hostilities — ended what was then called The Great War. Germany and the Allied Powers – including the United States– signed the Armistice at Rethondes, France on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Americans celebrated the Armistice with joyful celebrations in the streets. The Library of Congress records this recollection by Boston shoemaker James Hughes: "There was a lot of excitement when we heard about the Armistice… some of them old fellas was walkin' on the streets with open Bibles in their hands. All the shops were shut down. I never seen the people so crazy … confetti was a-flying in all directions … I'll never forget it."
One year later, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed that the day should be "filled with solemn pride in the solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory."
On May 13, 1938, Congress voted to make November 11 a legal holiday known as Armistice Day to honor veterans of the "War to End All Wars." Sadly, that name became outdated as another conflict inflamed the world in the 1940s. In 1954, veterans' service organizations urged Congress to change the holiday from "Armistice Day" to "Veterans Day." Congress agreed to the name change, and on June 1, 1954, November 11 became a day to honor all U.S. veterans.
Many Americans blur the distinction between Veterans Day and Memorial Day, a federal holiday celebrated in May. They do have separate and distinct purposes. Veterans Day celebrates the service of U.S. military veterans, while Memorial Day honors those who have died while serving in the military. Also, on the website, the U.S. Dept of Defense points out that some people misspell the holiday with an apostrophe such as in "Veteran's Day" or "Veterans' Day." "The holiday is not a day that "belongs" to one veteran or multiple veterans, which is what an apostrophe implies," the website states. "It's a day for honoring all veterans — so no apostrophe needed."
Great Britain, Canada and Australia commemorate November 11 with "Remembrance Day." Canada's observance is similar to our Memorial Day. Great Britain observes the anniversary on the Sunday closest to November 11 with parades, services and two minutes of silence in London to honor those who have died in war.
No matter how you choose to spend the day this November 11, we hope you take at least a few moments to say a word of thanks for all our brave veterans.

What's in store: The No. 13 Oregon State gymnastics team hosts No. 1 UCLA in the Cellular One Season Opener at 7 p.m., Friday, January 24 in Gill Coliseum. Reserved seat tickets are $10 apiece. General admission tickets are $6 for adults and $4 for senior citizens and children.
Living scoring on the internet: Fans who are unable to attend the meet can check www.osubeavers.com for live scoring updates throughout the meet.
Home sweet home: This week's meet against the Bruins ends nearly a month of contstant travel for the Beavers, who opened the season with three road meets. OSU flew 12,744 miles and five time zones during that span. The Beavers opened against UCLA in Hawaii on January 2, were at Michigan State on January 10 and at Arizona on January 17. It's the first time since 1985 that OSU has opened with three road meets.
Pre-meet entertainment features two U.S. national team members: U.S. national team members Sarah Curtis and Danielle Lord will perform exhibition routines prior to Friday's meet. Curtis, a freshman at Crescent Valley High School, is on the USA Gymnastics junior international team and will perform a beam exhibition Friday. Lord, a senior at Tualatin High School, will perform a rhythmic exhibition. She's one of eight members of the USA Gymnastics rhythmic national team.
Nation's best on hand for Friday's meet: Several of the nation's top gymnasts will be competing in Friday's meet. Oregon State has two All-Americans, Elizabeth Jillson and Tanya Ricioli, on its team. The No. 1 Bruins have eight All-Americans, including NCAA champions Jamie Dantzscher, Yvonne Tousek and Onnie Willis. Dantzscher and Tousek are also two of four Bruins to have competed in the Olympics (an additional two others were alternates). In addition, eight of the Bruins have competed in the World Championships.
Coaching connections: OSU head coach Tanya Chaplin was a six-time All-American at UCLA from 1986-89, when current UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field was an assistant with the Bruins. OSU assistant Michael Chaplin and UCLA assistant Chris Waller were teammates on UCLA's 1987 national championship team and both earned All-American honors during their careers.
The first time around: Oregon State and UCLA have already met once this season. The Beavers and Bruins opened the year with a dual meet at Kokokahi Gymnastics in Kaneohe, Hawaii. The teams worked out together for three days prior to the January 2 competition, which the Bruins won 197.600-195.675. Despite the loss, OSU turned in its best ever score for a season opener. Tanya Ricioli (39.525) and Lindsay Nelson (39.300) both had career-high all-around scores in that meet. Ricioli and Chrissy Lamun tied for third on floor with a pair of 9.90s, and Heather Justus placed second on vault with a 9.90. UCLA now leads the all-time series 24-8.
Falls cost Beavers at Arizona: Just a week after going 24-for-24 at Michigan State (good for OSU's first 24-for-24 performance since the 1996 Pacific-10 Championships), the Beavers had to count three falls in their meet at Arizona last week. The No. 11 Wildcats came away with a 195.775-194.800 win, but OSU claimed a share of three individual event titles. Freshman Angela Morales had a nice homecoming, winning vault with a career-high 9.90 in her return to her hometown of Tucson. Another rookie, Chrissy Lamun, also picked up her first career win, tying for first with a 9.875 on floor. Lindsay Nelson rounded out the victorious Beavers, capturing top honors on bars with a career-high-tying 9.875.
January's been good for the Beavers: Prior to this season, the Beavers had scored a 195.00 in the month of January only twice in the history of the program. OSU has doubled that number after two 195-plus scores this month. OSU opened the season with a 195.675 against UCLA, good for a school record for a season opener. That score was also OSU's best-ever January score until the Beavers posted a 195.825 at Michigan State a week later (also the 20th best score at OSU for any month). OSU's 195 streak ended at Arizona last week when three falls resulted in a 194.800, but that score still matched the sixth-best score in January. OSU's other January 195s were a 195.575 against Cal in 2001 and a 195.000 at Washington in 1993.
All-arounders could move up: OSU's two all-arounders, Tanya Ricioli and Lindsay Nelson, scored in the 39 range at OSU's first two meets but one miss apiece at Arizona stopped their streaks. Ricioli has scored a 39.00 or better in nine meets, fourth best at OSU. Her 10th such performance would move her into a tie for third with Amy Durham. Nelson is in a three-way tie for fifth with six 39.00 scores; a seventh would give her sole possession of fifth place. Chari Knight holds the record with 23, and Annie Campbell is second with 15.
Vault team could be one of OSU's best: OSU has scored a 49-plus on vault in all three meets this year, already surpassing the number of 49s the Beavers scored on the event a year ago (OSU scored a 49 only twice in 2002, with the first not coming until March 16). Three Beavers have already scored a 9.90, each in a different meet. Last week, Angela Morales won at Arizona with her career-high 9.90. Lindsay Nelson took top honors with a 9.90 at Michigan State the week before, and Heather Justus placed second with a career-high 9.90 against UCLA in the season opener. Nelson, Justus and Daylee Ingalls have scored a 9.80 or better in all three meets.
Beavers in the rankings: OSU is ranked 13th in this week's poll, which is based on high scores until moving to season averages next week. OSU is sixth on vault and bars, seventh on floor and 23rd on beam. Tanya Ricioli is ranked 10th in the all-around and 12th on beam. A trio of vaulters, Heather Justus, Angela Morales and Lindsay Nelson, are tied for 15th, and Nelson is also tied for 22nd on beam.
Head coach Tanya Chaplin: Tanya Chaplin is in her sixth season as head gymnastics coach at OSU. She has guided the Beavers to three consecutive trips to the NCAA Championships and was named OSU's Female Coach of the Year in 2000 and 2001. In 1999, she was named Pacific-10 Coach of the Year. Chaplin has a career record of 46-36-1 for the regular season and 82-65-1 including postseason competition. She was an assistant coach at Washington for seven years before moving to OSU. Formerly Tanya Service, she was a six-time All-American and held six school records while competing for UCLA from 1986-89.
Heidi Goehring: Heidi found herself in the lineup on beam for the first time this season last week at Arizona. She had competed exhibition routines in OSU's first two meets, scoring 9.75 and 9.725, but she scored a 9.30 after a fall in her official debut.
Daylee Ingalls: After competing only on beam as a freshman, Ingalls has become on of OSU's top vaulters this season. She's competed a 10.0-valued vault all season long. She's scored a career-high 9.85 twice (including last week at Arizona) and had a 9.80 in OSU's other meet for an average of 9.833. She's competed on beam twice, with a high of 9.75. In addition, she's exhibitioned bars in all three meets (high of 9.775).
Elizabeth Jillson: Jillson struggled on her bar routine at Arizona last week when she had two falls, but she was in her usual All-American form in OSU's first two meets. She led OSU with a 9.875 in the season opener and had a 9.85 at Michigan State on January 10. Jillson was a first team All-American on the event last year.
Meghan Jones: A walk-on, Jones has earned a spot in the bars lineup after exhibitioning the event just twice as a freshman, and she's gotten better each week. She placed third at Arizona last week after a career-high 9.825, just a week after placing fifth with a then-career-high 9.80 at Michigan State. She scored a 9.40 in the season opener after a solid routine ended with several steps on her dismount. Jones was also expected to be one of OSU's top vaulters, but a December ankle sprain has slowed her down on the event. She's been training a yurchenko full, but she hasn't competed it yet. She's exhibitioned a yurchenko layout in the first three meets.
Heather Justus: A mainstay on vault and floor as a freshman, Justus remains in the lineup on those two events as a sophomore. She led OSU with a career-high 9.90 on vault in the season opener in Hawaii and has scored a 9.80 in OSU's last two meets. She's averaging 9.758 on floor with a high of 9.825 in the season opener. She exhibitioned on beam in Hawaii, where she scored 9.675.
Chrissy Lamun: The freshman has already made an impact in her brief three-week collegiate career. She picked up her first collegiate victory last week in Arizona, where she tied for first with a 9.875 on floor. She's had or shared OSU's top score on the event in all three meets. She had a 9.90 against UCLA in Hawaii and added a 9.825 at Michigan State. Lamun is also in the lineup on bars and beam. She scored a season-high 9.825 on beam at Arizona to tie for fifth, and she's had a season-high 9.775 on bars at OSU's last two meets.
Angela Morales: Like Lamun, fellow rookie Morales picked up her first collegiate victory last week. Morales returned to her hometown of Tucson for OSU's meet at Arizona, and the freshman had the best meet of her brief college career. She had a career-high 9.90 on vault, for the first win of her career. She was fifth on floor (9.80) and placed seventh on beam (9.775). She had a season-high 9.875 on floor against UCLA in the season opener, and she had a season-high 9.80 on beam at Michigan State.
Lindsay Nelson: The junior is one of OSU's two all-arounders, and she's putting up strong numbers early on. She's already won two individual event titles this season after winning just one in her first two seasons. Last week at Arizona she matched her career-high on bars with a 9.875 to win the event for the first time. The previous week at Michigan State, she had a 9.90 on vault to win that event for the first time this year and second time in her career. Nelson has scored a 9.85 or better on vault in all three meets this year for a team-best 9.875 average. Her 9.833 average on bars is also the best among the Beavers. She had a career-high 9.90 on beam in the season opener against UCLA in Hawaii, and she had a season-high 9.775 on floor at Arizona last week. She had a career-high 39.300 all-around score in Hawaii, and she followed up with a 39.225 at Michigan State a week later but missed out on another 39-plus perfornance after a fall on beam at Arizona last week.
Tanya Ricioli: The All-American is off to a great start in her junior year, particularly on beam. She's been OSU's top scorer in all three meets on that event. She opened with a career-high 9.925 against UCLA in Hawaii and has had 9.85s at the last two meets for a team-best 9.875 average. She's scored as high as 9.85 at least once on each of the other events as well. She had a season-high 9.90 on floor against UCLA and had a season-best 9.875 on bars at Michigan State to win the event. Her top vault score was a 9.85 in Hawaii. She had a career-high 39.525 all-around score in the season opener, topping her previous best of 39.450 set at the NCAA regional championships last year. Her 39.525 was good for the 11th best all-around score in OSU history and set an OSU school record for an all-around score in a season opener. With that performance, Ricioli became just the second OSU all-arounder to score 39.500 in the month of January and the fourth to score a 39.500 in any month. Ricioli followed up her successful season opener with a 39.300 at Michigan State to win the all-around title at that meet, but a miss on bars at Arizona last week cost her another 39-plus score.
Th�r�se Videan: After competing primarily on vault and floor as a freshman, Videan has made her way into the bars lineup as well (she competed that event just three times last year). Her best score on any event this year was a 9.85 on floor in the season opener, and she had a career-high 9.80 on bars at Michigan State. She's scored a season-best 9.775 on vault at the last two meets. After competing a 9.90-value handspring pike front in the first two meets, Videan upgraded to the 10.0-valued pike half last week, becoming the fourth Beaver to compete a 10.0-valued vault this year. Videan has also exhibitioned beam twice this year, with a high of 9.70.
Elaine Yoder: Yoder has competed on beam in all three meets, scoring a season-high 9.75 against UCLA in the season opener. She had a 9.55 at Michigan State but fell at Arizona last week for a 9.375. Yoder has also performed three exhibition floor routines this year, with a high of 9.80.

Q: How to Reverse OFFSET without ORDER BY I got something like this query (actually mine is more complex, but you can see what's happening with the one below)

SELECT posts.id, posts.text, posts.date
FROM posts
WHERE posts.text LIKE '%keyword%'
ORDER BY posts.date DESC
LIMIT 0, 20";
But I got a lot of posts (> 40k) and this ORDER BY is making everything really slow, reversing tons of data. If I remove the ORDER BY it goes much faster.
Is there any way to get latest 20 posts without bring me all data from search, reverse it, then get the 20 first rows from result ordered?

A: You can try order by id desc

Posted in: Books, History.	2 Comments
Scotland's Last Frontier: A Journey Along the Highland Line, by Alistair Moffat, jumps around a bit, both geographically and chronologically, but doesn't suffer as a result, and I enjoyed most of the book and learned a lot from it, mostly about ancient, medieval and local history concerning various parts of Scotland but especially those areas around the 'highland line' with which this work is concerned. I have been to presentations by Moffat in the past, and appreciated his expertise and speaking skills. I have no idea, therefore, why he practically spoils what is otherwise a good and informative read by including a ridiculously biased section.
The section I object to is about the Highland Clearances. Prior to misrepresenting the Highland Clearance process, Moffat writes about the bitter harvests and famine in Aberdeenshire in the 1690s which resulted from temporary climate changes. He writes about the Monymusk Estate, near Inverurie, and the improvements made by the Grants, the landowners in the early 18th century. Moffat describes the tumbledown houses of the locals, the open grounds divided into small parcels, the inefficient methods of cultivation, the ditches with weeds and stones in them, all of which were essentially an example of the medieval landscape of much of Scotland at that time. Grant planted trees, millions of them, and he drained the land and cleared stones, making ditches around new fields. He introduced new crops and new rotations, and better fields which allowed more milking cows to be kept alive during winter which in turn improved the health of the locals. In addition, the invention of the swing plough virtually revolutionised agriculture by enabling deeper furrows (better drainage) with a requirement for fewer draught animals and labour. Many areas east of the highland line turned to more efficient cereal production. Moffat recognises that these agricultural changes often came with a human cost, but he sees them as improvements which transformed society for the better and helped new industries, such as textiles, to thrive. During this same period, the early 18th century, in the Highlands there were fewer agricultural changes, due to the different geography of that region, though one benefit of the Act of Union in 1707 was to open up new markets for highland cattle. He writes, "Highland chiefs and landowners were generally paid rents in kind rather than cash and cattle was the main currency. Landowners also acted as agents for tenant farmers who had surplus to sell or they bought from them directly. Many crofter-farmers had to sell their beasts on before the winter in any case since they did not have easy access to the new sources of fodder being grown in the Lowlands. And cattle supplied their own transport. They walked to market."
So far, so good. Moffat has accurately described the process of land improvement, enclosure, and agricultural and industrial transformations in the Lowlands which resulted in economic and health benefits for those concerned, and mentioned that in the Highlands developments had been much more piecemeal with a continuing subsistence-based economy supplemented by the sale of highland cattle (a trade which suffered after the end of the Napoleonic Wars). Then he turns to the Highland Clearances (Fuadach nan Gaidheal) and rather loses the plot. He writes "Increasingly absent and anglicised clan chiefs came to value their estates not for the number (and loyalty) of the people they could support but for how much of an income they could produce." In truth, the highland chiefs had become no more 'anglicised' than any of the numerous landowners elsewhere and in the Lowlands, (many of whom were also absent) who had improved their land, so why suddenly use that term, and in an inferred derogatory sense? The Highland landowners had the same aspirations as their Lowland counterparts. The poorer highlanders were also no different from their Lowland equivalents (apart from the language they spoke, as the Gaelic language had become much less common outside the Highlands). Many of the Highland landowners also tried to improve their land, a little later than had happened in the Lowlands, but the desire to improve was no different. The differences, however, and these are very important, were that their land was generally less fertile, the pressures on land from population growth by this time were more acute, and, unlike in the Lowlands, the new industries often failed (for numerous reasons). Moffat doesn't seem to grasp much of this, but instead falls into a fairly common trap of calling Highland landlords 'brutal', 'ignorant' and having 'careless contempt' for their tenants. As I have written previously, this is an example of perpetuating some myths of the Highland Clearances. Sir Tom Devine has written much more accurately on the matter. Moffat even heaps praise on the 'historian' John Prebble. As I have pointed out in other posts on this blog, Prebble never let actual facts get in the way of his yarns. Prebble's inaccurate interpretations have unfortunately had much influence on popular, especially nationalistic, perspectives of Highland history.
In the remaining chapters of Scotland's Last Frontier, normal service is resumed. There's a very interesting description of the archaeological digs that revealed the enormous Roman fort at Inchtuthil, built after the Roman victory at the Battle of Mons Graupius (AD83) and abandoned five years later. There is also an amusing account of the bungling, ham-fisted removal/theft/liberation of the Stone of Destiny from Westminster Abbey by Ian Hamilton in 1950; another story about a fight to the death between 30 men from Clan Cameron and 30 men from Clan Chattan in 1396; and an account of James Macpherson and the 'lost' poems of Ossian.
If only Moffat hadn't been so biased in his interpretation of the Highland Clearances, this would have been a better book.

Tom Paine on February 20, 2019 at 10:01 am said:
So were they asking for it, them crofters, or not?
According to Wiki: "Crofting communities were a product of the Highland Clearances (though individual crofts had existed before the clearances). They replaced the farms or bailtean, which had common grazing and arable open fields operated on the run rig system. This change was typically associated with two things. Firstly the tacksmen were steadily eliminated over the last quarter of the 18th century. A tacksman (a member of the daoine uaisle, sometimes described as "gentry" in English) was the holder of a lease or "tack" from the landowner. Where a lease was for a baile, the tacksman usually sublet to the farming tenants and may have provided some management oversight. By preventing this section of society from sub-letting, the landlords obtained all of the rent paid by those who worked the land. Secondly, landowners replaced the older farming methods with pastoral systems. In early cases, these were based on cattle. Much more common was the introduction of extensive sheep farms. In many clearances, the tenants of inland farms were moved to crofting communities in coastal areas, leaving the land they had left for sheep. This type of clearance was carried out mostly until the 1820s."

Q: My Angular 7 component is connected to a data source, but no data is displayed I'm using Angular 7 with a Rails 5 back-end.  I'm having trouble getting my front-end to display the data stored in my component.  Here's a shared service I've created, src/shared/currency.service.ts,
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http } from '@angular/http';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

@Injectable()
export class CurrencyService {
  constructor(private _http: HttpClient) { }

  index() {
    return this._http.get('api/currencies').map(r => r);
  }

  refresh() {
    return this._http.get('api/refresh').map(r => r);
  }
}

Here's my src/app/app.component.ts file ...
import { CurrencyService } from './../shared/currency.service';
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})

export class AppComponent {
  currencies: any;
  title = 'app';
  apiStatus: string;
  constructor(private _currencySrv: CurrencyService) { }

  ngOnInit() {
    this._currencySrv.index().subscribe(
      currencies => this.currencies = currencies);
  }

  refresh() {
    this._currencySrv.refresh().subscribe(
      currencies => this.currencies = currencies);
  }

}

I have this as my src/app/app.component.html file ...

{{currency.name}}

{{currency.country}}

{{currency.rate / 100}}

<button (click)="refresh()">Refresh</button>

But despite the fact I can see my dev tools network panel make the http://localhost:4200/api/currencies call returning data, nothing is visually displayed on my page when I visit http://localhost:4200 (except a single dot).  What am I doing wrong?

A: I think you have an error in the console which says something like "cannot read 'name' of undefined". That's because you are trying to render the list before you get the data. Wrapping your list into <ng-container *ngIf="currencies?.length"> should help. Or use the async pipe in the template. Link to the docs https://angular.io/api/common/AsyncPipe
Or you can set the initial value of the currencies as an empty array []
Note: it's not a good practice to use any, try to avoid it, so it's safer and you have more control over your variables.

Modified Engine Rebuilders, LLC., hereby known as "MER", wants to make sure their customers are completely satisfied with their engine rebuild, therefore this TOS is very important for you to read and understand.
MER wants you to understand the "good" and the "bad" about engine rebuilding in your vehicle. It is important that the customer understands that MER is NOT a diagnostic center, repair center or electrical shop and that many vehicles will need some or all of the expertise of one of those specific services ONCE we rebuild the Engine. In most cases we "CAN" diagnose the problem and correct it if such a service is needed but that is not our main function and these additional services (if needed) will be charged on a separate invoice and paid for by the customer separately. These services will also only be done once the Original Inovice for the Rebuilt Engine is paid in full requardless of the vehicle starting or not due to any of the abovce listed problems. (Please see "EXAMPLE PROBLEM" below for a full explination).
Any type of Electrical Part/Componant, Fuel Injectors, ECU's, Wire Harnesses, Cam Sensors, CrankShaft Sensors, Fuel Pumps, Fuel Filters, Gas Lines, Gas Tanks, Alternators, Power Steering Pumps, Radiators, Turbos, Superchargers, Air Coolers, Headers, Manifolds, Mufflers, Batteries, Guages, Tires, Distributers, Carbuerators, Belts, Hoses, Security Systems, Pullys, Timing Cover Plates.
This is a simple but accurate problem that arrises time and time again and we here at MER would like to "head off" the potential "mis-understand" customers may have. We have taken the time to explain this to you not to scare you away but to inform and edcuate you in advance rather than have hard feelings later.
EXAMPLE: A Customer brings/tows us a vehicle that has been sitting in their yard for a month, isn't running or not able to run and no real knowledge of what blew the engine. This causes many problems such as a dead battery, bad gas, gunked lines, clogged injectors and more. They fail to tell any of this to us and we proceed with the engine rebuild. We pull the engine from the non-running vehicle and we rebuild and re-install it. At this point our job is completed and we are ready to have you pick up the vehicle. However, something comes up; a bad Injector, a blown cam sensor, gunked gas lines or worse, an electrical problem... this all could prevent us from being able to start or keep your newly rebuilt engine running. What is the first thing the customer says to us? "I don't care what is wrong, i'm not paying for the job until the car is running".. that's a No No!.. Folks, we did our job at this point, if there are "Other" problems with your vehicle that prevent it from running, they need to be diagnosed and corrected and we fully understand that and can handle that, but these other problems could take many days to figure out, or many days for additional (unplanned) parts to arrive.
2. We get stuck with the car in our shop past our planned timeframe.
3. We don't get paid for our completed job until all the "other" problems are fixed.
This doesn't work for you or us so we've implimented the following guidlines to help both MER and You get though the time consuming process of rebuilding your engine and possibly any additional work needed.
1. Once the Engine is rebuilt and installed,. the job is considered completed.
2. The Original Invoice MUST be paid in full before MER will start on any "other" issues.
3. All Diagnostic work needed to be done will be billed separately.
4. All additional parts needed must be approved and paid for by the customer in advance.
Keep in mind the best way to avoid any of these issues is to give us as much detail as you can about how your engine blew and what you think may have caused it.
Purchases will appear on your credit/debit card statement as "Modified Engine Rebuilders" or "Modified". You agree not to file a credit card or debit card chargeback with regard to any purchase and instead abide by the dispute resolution procedures outlined below. In the event that you breach this agreement and file a chargeback, upon a resolution in our favor of the chargeback by either the credit card issuing bank, the credit card processor or by VISA or MASTERCARD, you agree to reimburse us for any costs incurred in researching and responding to such chargeback, including without limitation, our actual costs paid to the credit card processor or our banks, other third parties, and the reasonable value of the time of our employees and owners spent on the matter, as determined in our discretion in good faith. You further agree that all dispute resolution procedures below will be deemed waived by you, and that these amounts will be added to the original amount of the order, and that this total amount will then be immediately due and payable. If your chargeback is upheld, you agree to pay all of the same costs, in addition to the original purchase price, but we will use the dispute resolution procedures below to confirm and collect such amounts.
In the event that a chargeback is placed or threatened on a purchase, we also reserve the right to report the incident for inclusion in chargeback abuser database(s) of our choosing and in our sole discretion. The information reported will include name, email address, order date, order amount, IP address, full address, and phone number. Being listed on such databases may make it more difficult or even impossible for you to use (any of) your credit card(s) on future purchases with us or other merchants. Chargeback abusers wishing to be removed from the database shall make payment to us for any outstanding amount owed to us + $50 for processing and handling by wire transfer or such other means as we may require.


A pharmaceutical company headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, focuses on two main sectors: pharmaceutical and medical device for home healthcare. The company is seeking innovative medical technologies to strengthen its pipeline while expanding into new areas. The company is looking for in-licensing and collaborative R&D opportunities in the US, Canada, EU, and Israel.
The company has existing businesses in respiratory diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and orthopedics. The firm is seeking innovative, home-care, therapeutic medical devices in the disease sectors described above. The company is also interested in home patient monitoring products. In addition, the company is looking for innovations in the following areas: neurological disorders such as stroke, depression, Parkinson's disease, etc.; cancer; wound care; and rehabilitation, which all must be used at home care. The company is most interested in PMA and de novo therapeutic devices in the home-care settings. The company prefers assets with initial patient data. Furthermore, the company is seeking opportunities in digital medicine business (but not for consumer products) in disease areas described above.
Within pharmaceuticals, the company had previously focused on late clinical stage assets in orthopedics, respiratory diseases, and cardiovascular diseases, but has expanded interests to consider early-stage opportunities. The company is most interested in small molecule and peptide drugs.
The company is looking for assets that are a compliment to its portfolio. The company prefers to own rights in the Japan market, while its partners can keep US or EU rights. The company's regulatory team, clinical team and support system can assist its partners with product registration and distribution in Japan.


This easy to make chicken soup with bitter melon has the most amazing flavor. The ingredients are usually quite easy to obtain and it just takes about 15 minutes to prepare as a delicious lunch or part of a family style meal. We start with chunky chicken breast, and cook it in an herbal base made with lemongrass, coriander, galangal, garlic, and a little hot chili. These are then cooked into a soup along with Chinese bitter gourd. The combination of herbs mellows the bitterness of the gourd considerably as they cook together. The result is a delicious and hearty bowl of chicken soup like no other. It's one of our favorites.
What's in our Herbal Chicken Soup with Bitter Melon.
How we make our Herbal Chicken Soup with Bitter Melon.
1) Cut the chicken into small cubes. Cut the bitter melon, remove the seeds and inner pulp, then cut it into bite-sized pieces.
2) Chop the coriander sprigs and leaves. Grind the galangal, garlic, and red chili together, into a rough pulp.
3) Fry the herbs in coconut oil for about 30 seconds, then add the chicken and fry slowly until cooked. Add water and bring to a boil.
4) Add the cut bitter melon and cook for 8 minutes, or until tender. turn off the heat and add chopped coriander leaves. Serve while hot, sprinkle with additional chopped coriander just before serving.
Remove the skin from 1/2 an average sized chicken breast, and cut the meat into 1/2 inch cubes. Cut one Ma Ra melon in half, save one half for something else. You'll also need 3 - 4 good-sized coriander plants with the roots still attached, a small piece of galangal, and 2 - 3 cloves of garlic. I use 2 - 3 Thai hot chilies, but they are optional if you do not like spicy soups. You can also use a mild red chili, as the color from either hot or mild contrasts nicely with the yellow-green soup. We also add a little sugar and soy sauce.
Slice the melon across into about 1 inch slices, then remove the inner core and seeds and discard them. Cut the outer part into small bite-sized pieces.
Chop the coriander stems and leaves very fine, until you get about 2 tablespoons of the chopped herb.
Cut 3 slices of galangal off the main root and then cut them into very small pieces. Also peel the garlic.
Using a mortar and pestle, grind the galangal until it is a rough pulp, then add the garlic and chilies. Grind everything together until no large chunks remain, and it is well blended.
Using a medium sauce pan or soup pot over low heat, add 1 Tablespoon of coconut oil, let it get barely hot, then add the herb and chili mixture. Fry it off until it is nearly cooked. Keep the heat low and cook for longer, as you do not want it to burn and spoil the flavor.
Next add the chunks of chicken to the pot and stir it into the oily herbs. Fry until the chicken is nearly done, which should take only about 2 minutes or so.
Next add 2 cups of water to the pot and stir everything well.
Add the soy sauce and sugar. Heat over medium heat until it start to boil.
Now add the cut melon to the soup and bring it back to a hard boil. Reduce the heat until it is barely boiling and cook like that for about 7 - 8 minutes. Stir often and check the melon. When it starts to become tender and you can cut it with a fork it is usually done. However, you should also taste it. As the melon cooks it will become less bitter, so if it is still hard and very bitter, just keep cooking for a while longer.
Turn off the heat and check the flavor one last time, and decide if it has enough salt. You can add a little more soy sauce or just a small pinch of salt if you think it needs it. When you are satisfied, stir in about half of the chopped coriander, saving the remainder for a garnish.
I like to use one bowl to be shared at the table for 2 - 4 people with rice and other foods, but this could also be one very hearty bowl of soup for one, served alone. Stir the soup so it has some nice chicken and melon chunks on top.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining chopped coriander. No other garnish is really needed, ans this soup has a rich green ans yellow color with little red flecks. It's delicious, I hope you try it.

Process Art: What's the Point?
Many of our LEAPers get a kick out of the art station each week. We love to see little legs running over to check out the available materials! You may see clay, spray bottles, brightly colored paper, or paint popsicles. While we use different materials each week, our goal is always the same: to encourage creativity and exploration using process-focused art.
In order to better understand process art, it is best to look at process-focused art versus product-focused art. Process art focuses on the act of creating, whereas product art focuses on developing a specific creation.
Art is beneficial to children, no matter how it is presented. There is a time and a place for both process-focused and product-focused art. Process art, however, opens up a world of exploration for kids. They are free to use the materials however they choose and create something that is uniquely theirs. When a child is finished, it is unlikely that his or her creation will look like anyone else's. It's fascinating to see creativity at work!
Social-Emotional – Children can relax, focus, feel successful, and express their feelings.
Language – Children and adults can engage in conversation about their artwork. This provides wonderful opportunities for caregivers to model language.
Cognitive – Children have the opportunity to compare, predict, plan, and problem solve.
Physical – Children use their fine motor skills to paint, write, glue, mold clay, and combine materials.
Throughout the LEAP program, we've tested many process art ideas. Some have been great successes, while others have been flops… We've listed a few of our favorite projects from over the years. They're easy to do at home and can provide meaningful bonding experiences for you and your toddler!
Grab your favorite animal figurines and some paint to create animal tracks. Then, use a small container of soapy water to clean your animals. Self-cleaning art time? Yes, please!
Kick off this art activity by taking a nature walk to collect materials - acorns, sticks, leaves, berries, whatever you can find! Use clay or Playdoh to create a base for your sculpture, then build away!
We are LOVING these paint pops! They create smooth designs, add an icy feel, and are super easy to make. You'll need paper cups, popsicle sticks, paint (we use BioColor brand, but any kind will do!), and a freezer. Pour the paint of your choice into the paper cup - layering colors is especially fun! - then place a popsicle stick in the middle. We covered each cup with a small piece of tinfoil then poked the popsicle stick through, which helped the stick stay upright. Freeze for a few hours and you're done!
Mix equal parts Elmer's glue and shaving cream for one of our most fun process art activities! This paint goes on smooth but dries puffy. Add food coloring and essential oils to add a colorful and smelly twist!
The grittiness of sand is an amazing texture! We use sand often in LEAP and always get a kick out of seeing LEAPers experience the feeling of sand between their fingers. We have 2 sand art activities that we love: Sand Paint and Sprinkle Sand Art. Sand paint is as easy as it sounds - fill a bowl with your favorite paint, add sand, and mix! You'll have chunky, gritty, colorful paint. Sprinkle sand art is created with glue and colorful sand. We mixed powder tempera paint with sand to create brightly colored sand, then we drew designs with glue and sprinkled sand on top!
Next time you're at LEAP, make sure to swing by the art station. While it may seem messy – and a little unruly – it's truly designed to be that way! It's all about the process not the product, the journey not the destination!

Poly Lactic Acide, aka corn starch resin, which is known as PLA is totally made of plants of corn or sugar beet with the procedures of fermentation, dehydration and polymerization. It is environmental friendly that can be 100% degraded. Besides, based on the normal PLA adn miantaining the high strength of it, we also develop High-tenacity PLA to solve the common problem of a lack of tenacity. Colours range: yellow, neon pink, red, orange, blue, purple, green, grey, black, white and traditional.

American College of Physicians Recommends New Approach to Prevent Venous Thromboembolism in Hospitalized Patients
ACP's clinical practice guideline includes debut of Policy Implication statement for this common, serious condition

PHILADELPHIA, November 1, 2011 -- In a new clinical practice guideline published today in Annals of Internal Medicine, the American College of Physicians (ACP) recommends that doctors assess the risk of thromboembolism and bleeding in patients hospitalized for medical illnesses, including stroke, before initiating therapy to prevent venous thromboembolism (VTE).
VTE, comprised of pulmonary embolism (PE) and deep venous thrombosis (DVT), is a serious, common clinical problem. Because most hospitalized patients have at least one VTE risk factor, many hospitals routinely give patients blood thinners. However, these medications increase the risk of bleeding.
"The evidence does not support routine VTE prophylaxis in patients hospitalized for medical illnesses, including stroke," said Amir Qaseem, MD, FACP, PhD, MHA, Director of Clinical Policy at ACP. "If a patient is at risk for VTE, the American College of Physicians recommends that physicians prescribe heparin or related blood thinners, unless the assessed risk of bleeding outweighs likely benefits."
Benefits and Risks of Blood Thinners and Mechanical Devices
In patients hospitalized for medical illnesses, including stroke, prevention with heparin is associated with a statistically significant reduction in PE events. In most cases, the clinical benefit of reducing PE events will outweigh the harm of increased risk of bleeding events, the guideline states. No differences in benefits or harms were found between the types of heparin used.
If a patient is at risk for VTE and bleeding from blood thinners, ACP does not recommend using graduated compression stockings. The evidence showed that they were not effective in preventing VTE or reducing death, and resulted in clinically important lower extremity skin damage.
ACP's recommendations do not apply to patients hospitalized for surgery.
ACP Does Not Support Performance Measures that Encourage Routine VTE Prevention
The guideline also includes a Policy Implication statement against hospital performance measures that promote universal VTE prevention regardless of a patient's individual risks for VTE and bleeding.
"Because there is no standard, accepted risk-assessment formula to identify which nonsurgical patients are likely to benefit from VTE prophylaxis, this is best left to physician judgment and performance measures encouraging routine prevention in all patients are inappropriate," said Dr. Qaseem. "Until we can better identify those patients who truly benefit, performance measures that encourage VTE prophylaxis for patients hospitalized for medical illnesses, including stroke, may encourage physicians to use prevention in low risk patients for whom the risks may exceed the benefit."
More about Venous Thromboembolism
In VTE, blood clots often form in leg veins (DVT). Pieces of these leg clots can break off and travel to the lungs, causing a serious condition called pulmonary embolism. A large embolism may result in acute heart failure or sudden death.
Twenty-six percent of patients with undiagnosed and untreated PE will have a subsequent fatal embolism, and another 26 percent will have a non-fatal recurrent embolism. Studies show that between 5 and 10 percent of all in-hospital deaths are a direct result of PE. The incidence of PE in the United States accounts for 200,000 to 300,000 hospitalizations per year.
