THROWBACK THURSDAY: "LIFESTYLE" BY RICH GANG FT. YOUNG THUG & RICH HOMIE QUAN
Angie Churn
Even though it feels like it's been forever, it's important going back to 2014 because it was a phenomenal year for Hip Hop.
Especially for Rich Gang, dropping the classic: ''Lifestyle'' which features Young Thug and Rich Homie Quan. RG stands for the compilation of artists that teamed up because of their record labels. For this song, you would have to thank Birdman, a name that hasn't been as big recently but never forgotten. He was one of the reasons we got to experience this OG track.
You get the chance to hear an early in his career Jeffery. He mentions many times that this is his beginning and, it makes sense with the timeline. His voice sounds slightly different but, captures his unique flow that people still love to this day. Thugger drops funny noises and ad-libs throughout the track keeping the energy up. It even features a great singing hook that will have you trying to recreate his one-of-one sound.
Quan who was also at the start of his career killed his verse rightfully. He starts his rapping by shouting out his parents, whom he says he does it for. It's kind of a wholesome moment on a Trap song. Of course, there is also the incredible beat produced by one of the best producers: London On Da Track. Make sure to also watch the video, it features some younger rappers that aren't on the song!
Go listen to ''Lifestyle'' by Rich Gang, Young thug, and Rich Homie Quan.

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare type of acquired hemolytic anemia that is frequently associated with thrombophilia. It may rarely present with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, which manifests clinically with signs of raised intracranial pressure and requires lifelong anticoagulation therapy. One such rare presentation was seen in a 28 years old male who had history of recurrent episodes of passing red colored urine and this time presented with severe headache. He was diagnosed to have cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and on further workup was found to be suffering from PNH.
PNH is a rare acquired clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by abnormal sensitivity of red blood cells to lysis by complement. It is caused by genetic mutation resulting in deficiency of glycosyl phosphatidylinositol anchor (GPA) for cell membrane proteins including complement regulating proteins CD55 and CD59 . PNH occurs in all populations throughout the world but it is a rare disease with prevalence estimated to be up to 5 per million . It is considered unique condition in a sense that its manifestations may include hemolytic anemia (due to acquired intracorpuscular defect), pancytopenia (due to marrow failure) and tendency to have venous thrombosis . Hemolysis occurs throughout the day but patients may present for passing red concentrated urine in the morning. As urine is more concentrated in the morning, this is when color is more pronounced. The hypothesis of increased hemolysis at night during sleep due to acidosis or low steroid levels is not supported by studies. The gold standard diagnostic test for PNH is flow cytometry of RBCs to demonstrate absent or reduced expression of both CD55 and CD59 .
Patients with PNH experience a high incidence (14-40%) of thrombotic events, mostly venous and rarely arterial . Thrombotic events in PNH may occur despite thrombocytopenia or pancytopenia and they have a predilection for unusaual locations in the venous system. The vessels mostly involved are visceral veins (hepatic, portal, mesenteric, splenic, and renal veins), followed by cerebral and dermal veins. Here we report a case of young male who had history of recurrent episodes of passing red colored urine and this time also presented with severe headache.
A 28 years old male, resident of Karachi - Pakistan, worker in a towel factory, came with two years history of recurrent episodes of dark red colored urine, dysphagia for one month and severe frontal headache with blurring of vision and vomiting for one week. On examination he was hemodynamically stable and moderately anemic. Neurological examination revealed Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) 15/15, normal power, extensor right plantar response and bilateral papilledema on fundoscopic examination. Spleen and liver were not palpable on abdominal examination and rest of the examination was unremarkable.
Laboratory investigations showed hemoglobin of 5.8 g/dl with MCV 96 fl, reticulocyte count 3% (corrected 1%) and normal platelet and total leukocyte count. Serum bilirubin was slightly raised with predominant indirect bilirubin component with normal Alanine Aminotransferase (ALA), alkaline phosphatase, urea, creatinine and electrolyte levels. Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) came out to be markedly increased (1467 mg/dl). Urine detailed report showed red cells with no casts. Ultrasound abdomen including kidneys and urinary bladder were normal.
Computerized Tomography (CT) of scan brain was done on the day of admission that showed a hyper-intense lesion in left parietal region, intra-cerebral hemorrhage and hemorrhagic infarct (Figure 1). Meanwhile patient developed generalized tonic-colonic seizures. He was managed accordingly with antiepileptic and analgesic drugs. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of brain including Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) was performed. Blood was collected to perform battery of tests before transfusion. The MRI brain revealed a hematoma in left parietal region with another small hemorrhage in right basal ganglia (Figure 2).On MR venography a filling defect was identified in superior sagittal sinus, confluence of sinuses, straight sinus, transverse and sigmoid sinuses on right side, extending into proximal internal jugular vein. Radiological signs confirmed the diagnosis of extensive right sided dural venous sinus thrombosis (Figure 3). Patient was started with anticoagulation therapy along with 3rd generation cephalosporin and his condition improved gradually. Third generation Cephalosporinwas used to treat infectionas they have broad spectrum coverage and adequate CNS penetration.
Computed Tomographic (CT) scan of brain showing hemorrhagic infarct.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain revealing multiple hemorrhagic infarcts.
Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) brain revealing extensive venous sinus thrombosis.
The hematological tests sent earlier showed negative Coombs' test and both Glucose 6 Phosphate Dehydrogenase (G6PD) levels and hemoglobin electrophoresis were normal. The flow cytometry done on RBCs revealed CD55 negative and CD59 double population, confirming the diagnosis of PNH. Patient was started on heparin and warfarin and discharged with warfarin when International Normalized Ratio (INR) was achieved with target range. He was also started with steroids and hematinic supplementation and is currently on outpatient follow up. Eculizumab could not be used because of its non availability.
Although thrombophilia is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in PNH , exact mechanism of this tendency is still unclear. The pathogenesis is probably multifactorial. The major contributor is endothelial damage caused by free hemoglobin and possibly complement system . Release of free hemoglobin activates the endothelium and scavenges Nitric Oxide. In addition complement mediated damage of Glycosyl Phosphatidyl Inositol (GPI) deficient blood cells may result in the release of procoagulant micro particles into the circulation and platelet activation. The risk of venous thrombotic events is said to be directly related to the size of PNH clone. Patients with less than 50% PNH granulocytes seldom develop thrombosis, whereas patients with larger clone sizes appear to be at great risk and will require anticoagulation . Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in PNH usually involves superior sagittal sinus producing edematous, congested cortex and a tendency for hemorrhagic infarction. It clinically presents with signs and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure (headache, vomiting and papilledema). The gold standard diagnostic test for CVST is MR venography.
The treatment options for hemolytic anemia in PNH include blood transfusions, pulse prednisolone for acute attacks, folic acid, iron supplements, low dose prednisolone and eculizumab (humanized monoclonal antibody against complement C5) for chronic hemolysis. Iron replacement can stimulate reticulocytosis that can trigger hemolysis by releasing new cohort of complement sensitive cells. This can be prevented by adding prednisone during replacement therapy. Intravascular hemolysis is the dominant feature of classic PNH, and this process is blocked by the complement inhibitor eculizumab with decreased need of blood transfusions and marked improvement in signs and symptoms and quality of life [8, 9]. The thrombotic tendency of PNH also appears to be ameliorated by eculizumab. The 5 year survival of patients with PNH prior to eculizumab therapy was 67% and has improved to 96% in patients who used the monoclonal antibody. The medication also decreased the risk for thrombotic events from 6% per year to less than 1% per year. It has been shown that eculizumab therapy, which is effective in decreasing hemolysis, can also decrease the risk for venous thrombosis [10, 11]. Continuation of anticoagulation in patients with PNH with a previous thrombosis while on eculizumab is recommended as stopping therapy has not been studied. The drug has no effect on the bone marrow failure component of the disease.
All PNH patients who experience a thrombotic complication are candidates for indefinite anticoagulation. Concomitant intracranial hemorrhage is not a contraindication for anticoagulation. In a retrospective study on 102 patients with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST), 43 had an intracranial hemorrhage. Among 27 (63%) who were treated with dose adjusted intravenous heparin after Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH), 4 (15%) died and 14 patients (52%) recovered completely. Of the 13 patients who did not receive heparin, mortality was higher (69%) with lower improvement in functional outcome (only 3 patients recovered completely) . Anticoagulation prophylaxis against thromboembolic events without prior thrombotic complication is advocated by many clinicians, but due to lack of randomized, prospective studies this is still an issue of debate. Up till now heterologous bone marrow transplantation is the only curative procedure for PNH. However the transplant related mortality is high, that is 42% , so this form of therapy is reserved for those who are severely hypoplastic and refractory to other forms of treatment.
Written informed consent was obtained from patient for publication of this case report and any accompanying images.
ARM, MR, MAUR, KS conceived the idea. ARM, MR and MAUR were major contributors to the writing of the manuscript. ARM and MR diagnosed and treated the patient. All authors read and approved the final manuscript.

Notice of Intention to Circulate Petition
Notice is hereby given by the persons whose names appear heron of their intention to circulate the petition within the City of Marina for the purpose of allowing cannabis business activity and establishing fees and taxes on such businesses within the City of Marina.
A statement of the reasons of the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows: To maintain current levels of police and fire protection, road maintenance, parks, and senior and recreation services, our city must grow its tax base AND generate revenues for a mature redeveloped downtown that will bring business to Marina to make our city economically sustainable. Neighboring city voters have already approved cannabis businesses and fees and taxes associated with them, such as we are proposing, that allow them to provide needed community services. These proposed businesses and related taxes and fees will generate an estimated $40,000 to $200,000 or more per year.
Title and Summary
from City Attorney
INITIATIVE MEASURE TO BE SUBMITTED DIRECTLY TO THE VOTERS
The City Attorney has prepared the following title and summary of the chief purpose and points of the proposed measure:
ORDINANCE PERMITTING CERTAIN CANNABIS BUSINESSES IN THE CITY OF MARINA AND ESTABLISHING A BUSINESS LICENSE TAX RATE FOR SUCH BUSINESSES
This initiative ordinance would amend the City of Marina Municipal Code to permit cannabis businesses to operate in the City. Permitted businesses would include cannabis cultivation, cannabis manufacturing, cannabis distribution, cannabis testing labs, up to three non-medical "adult-use" cannabis retailers and up to three medical cannabis dispensaries. Each permitted cannabis retailer or dispensary would be allowed to operate only one location in the City, and they would be permitted to offer deliver services from that location. Subject to a special permit, on-site consumption of cannabis would be allowed at retailers. The ordinance would establish operating standards for each type of cannabis business and would permit cannabis businesses to operate only on land with certain commercial and industrial zoning designations in the City's zoning ordinance. It would be illegal for a business to operate in violation of the operating standards. "Adult-use" retailers would be prohibited from admitting customers under twenty-one years old. Medical cannabis dispensary could serve only their members; and all such members must be either qualified patients or qualified primary caregivers. Persons under eighteen years old could be accepted as members only with written authorization of a parent or legal guardian, and such members could only enter a dispensary when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Hours for retailers and dispensaries would be limited to 9:00 am through 11:59 pm, and alcohol and tobacco products could not be sold or consumed on site. Each cannabis business would be subject to a business license tax calculated based on the gross receipts of the business. For retailers and dispensaries, the tax rate would be between 2.5 and 5% of gross receipts. For all other cannabis businesses, the tax rate would be between 2% and 5% of gross receipts. Rates would start at the stated minimum rate (i.e., 2.5% or 2%) upon adoption of the ordinance, and could be raised by the City Council to no higher than the stated maximum rate beginning on January 1, 2022. The requirements of the ordinance would not apply to (i) the individual possession or cultivation of cannabis for personal use or (ii) the usage, distribution, cultivation or processing from a residential unit or single non-residential parcel of land by a group of three or less qualified patients, primary caregivers, or "qualified adults."

Permitted businesses would include cannabis cultivation, cannabis manufacturing, cannabis distribution, cannabis testing labs, up to three non-medical "adult-use" cannabis retailers and up to three medical cannabis dispensaries.
List of Zones to allow cannabis business activity:
How can I find out the zoning designation for my property?
You can contact the Planning Services Division at (831) 884-1220 with your street address or Assessor Parcel Number (APN).
Cannabis Taxes:
Payments are due quarterly on the 1st of January, April, July, and October each year.
Bruce Delgado
Mayor of the City of Marina
"Similar to Monterey County, Del Rey Oaks, Salinas, Seaside and Watsonville in Santa Cruz County, this Cannabis proposal would legalize research and development, manufacturing, testing, commercial indoor cultivation, and retail dispensaries. These jobs and businesses would have spin off value to other Marina businesses and thus help our economy. Finally, Marina residents needing medical or cannabis products for adult use could stay in town to get them."
Jane Parker
Monterey County Supervisor, District 4
"Now that California has legalized Cannabis at the state level, the City of Marina has an opportunity to develop and regulate this new industry responsibly so that the City and its residents will benefit. As a Monterey County Supervisor I support this initiative and applaud the efforts of those who are working to place it on the ballot."
Adam Urrutia
Running for City of Marina City Council,
Member of the Marina Planning Commission
"I am supporting this initiative because it is the will of Marina's residence. The vast majority of us voted to legalize cannabis in 2016. Let's use the money we raise to make our neighborhoods and roads safer and improve our parks."
Ryan Munevar
CannaDems President,
Monterey NORML Executive Director
"The City of Marina will thrive with sensible regulation and taxation for the Cannabis Industry. Jobs will be created, taxes will be collected, and the local infrastructure will be improved. As President of the CannaDems and Executive Director of Monterey County NORML I endorse this campaign and encourage you to as well."
Joey Espinoza
President of the Coastal Growers Association,
Deputy Director of Monterey County NORML
"The vision for the Coastal Growers Association has always been to see the Safe and reliable access to cannabis through ethical, permitted, licensed, and legitimate businesses. That is why we fully support this initiative to allow for legal cannabis businesses in the city of Marina. We know that as more cities in our county begin to embrace cannabis we will create more jobs and generate tax revenue that will ultimately create a community benefit for all."
Oliver Bates
Big Sur Farmers Association President
"Growing up on the Central Coast, Marina has been a pillar of blue collar and minority owned and operated businesses. These small business ma and pa communities have been the back bone of many industries, including cannabis. Many of these businesses and individuals have been a fundamental support in our industry for decades. It's time to let them shine. We support the people of Marina in there efforts to bring legal cannabis, tax revenue, and renewed small business opportunities to their community."

Sexual Health Info
Reports & Analysis
Barriers to Abortion in Canada
Three decades have passed since abortion was decriminalized in Canada but barriers remain. This is concerning because abortion is a very common procedure and an integral part of a comprehensive package of sexual and reproductive health services.
Action Canada for Sexual Health and Rights runs a national toll-free 24-hour access line that provides information on sexual and reproductive health matters as well as referrals for abortion services when needed. This work offers us privileged insight and information on the specific barriers individuals experience when seeking safe abortion services.
Many of the calls are about people's difficulties in accessing safe abortion care. Barriers we've heard of on the Access Line include:
Not being able to locate nearby services
Needing to travel (sometimes hundreds of kilometers away because of gestational limits or having no access to a provider at all)
Having to cover the costs incurred by travel (which can include childcare, eldercare, missed work, plane tickets, gas money, accommodations and food, expediting a passport or Identification papers)
Having to cover the costs of the procedure itself (due to not having a health card or identification documents, issues with reciprocal billing between certain provinces, being an international student, or being in a precarious immigration situation with delayed cost coverage, providers being unsure about how to bill for their services, or people being unaware of where to safely access services when in irregular immigration situations)
Being delayed by anti-choice health care providers or staff acting as gate keepers or receiving false or misleading information about abortion and where to access it.
Being delayed by wait times that can come from mandatory ultrasounds and mandatory doctor's referrals and tests, etc.
Barriers to abortion disproportionately affect young people and marginalized people, especially those who are low-income, people of color, migrants or refugees, people with precarious immigration status and those who do not speak English or French. These barriers are compounded for those living in rural or remote areas.
Making medical abortion more easily available is an important way to expand choice when it comes to terminating a pregnancy and could have an important impact on the accessibility of abortion in Canada. It can be offered earlier than surgical abortion, has the potential to reduce wait times for surgical abortion procedures and wait times overall, can be offered to people who want to avoid an internal procedure for a number of reasons, and can be administered by different health care providers, including family doctors and professionals like Nurse Practitioners and midwives, which has the potential to increase access in more remote and rural areas. Currently, most abortion providers are in major urban centers located less than 150 km from the US border, only 1 hospital in 6 offers abortion, and services can very hard to access in some places because of unnecessary strict rules and regulations. Incorporating medical abortion care in primary care settings could change the game for people who need access to this service.
Many health care providers and their professional colleges are stepping up to the plate! In July 2017, the Canadian Nurses Association publicly stated their opinion on Nurse Practitioners (NP) prescribing of Mifegymiso. Four months later, Health Canada revised their guidelines on prescribing Mifegymiso, substituting "physician" with "health professional." This change enabled the prescribing scope of practice of other health care professionals, including nurse practitioners.
Since that time, the Colleges and or Associations of Nurses in Alberta, British Columbia, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Ontario have announced their support of NP provision of Mifegymiso. Similarly, the Nurses Association of the Yukon and of the Northwest Territories/Nunavut support independent prescribing by Nurse Pratitioners.
On October 18th, 2018, the Registered Nurses Association of Saskatchewan became the 8th province/territory to announce their support of NP provision of mifepristone medical abortion!
Same goes for midwives who, since Health Canada modified the Mifegymiso product monograph language to "health professional" rather than "physician, have been exploring how to expand midwifery scope of practice to include both contraception counseling and medical abortion care.
Continued advocacy for better access to Mifegymiso matters. It presents us with an opportunity to address historical gaps in abortion access in Canada. Join us in taking action to make sure Canada takes full advantage of Mifegymiso's potential to address historical gaps in abortion access from coast to coast to coast.
If you have questions about pregnancy options and/or are looking for abortion providers in your area, contact our national 24-hour toll-free Access Line at 1-888-642-2725 or email access@actioncanadashr.org
Need Immediate Help?
For information about sexual and reproductive health, including pregnancy options, and for referrals to clinics and hospitals that provide reproductive health services, including abortion, anywhere in Canada, please call the confidential 24-hour toll-free information and referral line.

We present an accurate, real-time approach to robotic grasp detection based on convolutional neural networks. Our network performs single-stage regression to graspable bounding boxes without using standard sliding window or region proposal techniques. The model outperforms state-of-the-art approaches by 14 percentage points and runs at 13 frames per second on a GPU. Our network can simultaneously perform classification so that in a single step it recognizes the object and finds a good grasp rectangle. A modification to this model predicts multiple grasps per object by using a locally constrained prediction mechanism. The locally constrained model performs significantly better, especially on objects that can be grasped in a variety of ways.

Maitland Magpies v Edgeworth Eagles
2.30pm Saturday 20th August
Cooks Square Park
2016 Meetings:
Round 8: Edgeworth 3 (Trott OG 12', McBreen 34', McLoughlin 49') defeated Maitland 1 (B.Thompson 70' p) at Cooks Square Park.
Round 17: Edgeworth 2 (Holz 38', McBreen 68') defeated Maitland 1 (L.Thornton 21') at Jack McLaughlan Oval.
Ladder: Maitland 4th (29pts) Edgeworth 1st (46)
Past 3 Starts (Most Recent First):
Maitland – Lost Magic 2-0 (h), Lost Eagles 2-1 (a), Won Bears 3-2 (h)
Edgeworth – Won Rosebuds 3-1 (a), Won Magpies 2-1 (h) Won Phoenix 4-2 (h)
In saying it has been a long time since Maitland have been in the top grade Northern NSW finals is very much an understatement; it has been 16 years up to this point. This is where the drought ends though and they will take confidence from that finals showing way back in 2000. That season they finished in 4th, in the then five-team finals series.
They cleaned up Broadmeadow Magic 4-0 in week one to send them packing, but week two was where their journey ended when Hamilton Olympic knocked them out 4-1 at Darling Street. It may not be such a bad thing that they won't be playing the boys from Darling Street over the next two weekends.
It has been a year to remember for the Magpies, although there have been some rocky patches, they have ridden the bumps that have resulted in them having an overall positive season.
This Saturday will present an exciting match up between the two sides. Maitland will meet a side who is at the peak of their powers. Since 1997, Maitland has been unable to beat the Eagles and their dominance could extend further, as results are hard to find after then.
Of their last 16 matches, dating back to 1997, in the top grade, it makes for very dire reading if you are a Magpies fan. Fifteen wins for Edgeworth and a solitary 2-2 draw,in 1998. History is there to be defeated and that is certainly the attitude the home side will take into this contest.
In 2016, Maitland has an outstanding defensive record, conceding just 23 goals to be the third best side in the competition. In this regard, that is where they can really challenge Edgeworth. The likes of Carl Thornton, Brock Oakley and Liam Thornton will be key, as will the experience of Dean Heffernan. But, the Thornton brothers and Oakley have done something Heffernan and a majority of the Magpies side haven't – they have beaten Edgeworth – last year in round nine with Weston, 1-0. Could that count over the next two weekends?
For The Eagles, what a season it has been for Damian Zane yet again. While they faltered twice against Hamilton during the regular season, they didn't lose to anyone else, and that should give them bucket loads of confidence going into their match with Maitland.
Last weekend, with five of their regular first-grade starters out of the side, their youngsters put out a very impressive performance; although it was against 9th placed Adamstown it shouldn't take anything away from their display.
If the next two weekends between these sides become a goal-fest, the Eagles will win. They have scored 15 more goals than Maitland in the regular season and have so many attacking weapons to choose from. Take your pick out of Daniel McBreen, Keigo Moriyasu, Bren Hammel, Brody Taylor and we haven't even got to Keanu Moore or Dylan Holz. Aaron McLoughlin also scored against Maitland earlier this season.
Maitland has firepower in Ryan Clarke and Matt Comerford but definitely not the same amount as Edgeworth and they will be relying on their defence to keep the Eagles out this weekend and not concede any crucial away goals. If they can keep Edgeworth quiet and jag themselves a goal or two, the Magpies could be soaring towards a Grand Final berth. If Edgeworth scores some goals, though, it may be a bridge too far for Maitland.
Maitland's key attacking trio of Ben Martin, Ryan Clarke and Matt Comerford are all in doubt for the clash with niggles but will be given the right to kick-off to prove their fitness. For Edgeworth, the five players rested from the weekends 3-1 win over Adamstown, Dom Bizzarri, Ayden Brice, Lachie Pasquale, Bren Hammel and Brody Taylor will all be available this weekend.
What the Coaches Said:
Reece Thompson (Maitland Assistant)
"Edgeworth are the top team in the competition, there is no doubt about that. But, they have also got one eye on the FFA Cup so we are going to try and take it to them. They have got quality around all of the park,v but instead of focusing on them we need to focus on ourselves to make sure we get the right result. We didn't give too much away two weeks ago when we played them because we thought we would meet in the semi-finals, knowing that we thought we would keep a little bit in our back-pocket and not give too much away."
"It's been 16 years since we were last in the Northern NSW semi-finals. I spoke to the captain from 2000 on Wednesday, and he was telling me all of his old boys are going to be up there, so I'm hoping there is a massive crowd. I know the local community is getting right behind us which is great."
Damian Zane (Edgeworth)
"We'll be going all out this weekend, obviously we have got another game [FFA Cup match against the Wanderers] which will be straight after the second leg, so we'll be going out to try and end it as quick as we can, whether that is early in the second leg or whatever. We want to get a good platform for next week, so we will be going at them from the first minute."
"Obviously, the three players [we need to look out for] are Ryan Clarke, Matt Comerford and Matt Thompson. Clarkey and Comerford with their speed and skill. I thought Clarkey was pretty good against us last game. That probably stems from Matt Thompson. He's a big part of their play and he has had a great year. First and foremost, though we'll probably just make sure we are right and I think if we turn up in the right frame of might we will be right. We play to dominate not to be dominated. If we are on our game, they will have more to worry about than us."
Key: Defence. Maitland needs a good defensive performance over the next two weeks if they are to make the Grand Final for the first time since 1981.
Broadmeadow Magic v Hamilton Olympic
2.30pm, Sunday 21st August
Round 6: Hamilton 3 (Mooney 38', Bird 45+1', Bertos 70' p) defeated Broadmeadow 1 (J.Virgili 7') at Darling Street Oval.
Round 15: Broadmeadow 1 (Bradbury 37') drew with Hamilton 1 (Bird 15') at Magic Park.
Ladder: Broadmeadow 3rd (32) Hamilton 2nd (42)
Broadmeadow – Won Magpies 2-0 (a), Lost Blues 3-2 (a), Lost Phoenix 2-1 (a)
Hamilton – Won Blues 3-0 (a), Drew Phoenix 2-2 (h), Won Jets 1-0 (h)
Another nail-biting derby awaits us when Broadmeadow meet Hamilton over the next two weekends and if the next two clashes come even close to the excitement of their round 15 battle we are in for something special.
For the first time since the 2012 Grand Final, these two sides will meet. That afternoon was one Olympic fans would rather forget; it was when Damien Smith coached Magic and the side got the job done beating Mick Bolch's Olmypic side, 4-1. The site of that Grand Final is where the two sides will meet this weekend.
A state which proves just how close these two sides are is their head to head statistics. Since 1995, the sides have met 54 times, of these matches, that have been played at Hamilton's home ground, Olympic have won 12, there have been 5 draws and 10 wins to Broadmeadow. Away from Darling Street, the stats are identical, 12 wins for Hamilton, 5 draws and 10 wins for Broadmeadow. However something will have to give this weekend.
Of late though, it has been all Hamilton. Since round eight in 2013 – when Peter Haynes scored a goal that many will never forget – and Magic won 6-5 – the men from Broadmeadow have not tasted victory over their rivals from Olympic since. It has been seven matches and more than three years. Of those seven matches, Olympic has won five, along with two draws, which have come in the last four matches the two sides have played.
In those last seven matches, Broadmeadow has scored just four goals, an average of just over half a goal a game. That would give Hamilton's miserly backline, led by the experienced Kyle Hodges, plenty of confidence going into the weekend. This season Hamilton have conceded an average of just over 0.7 goals per game, and if they keep that going they will be almost impossible to beat.
James Virgili will provide a huge boost for the home side this weekend and his attacking prowess will be crucial this weekend given Olympic will be missing two key players at the back in Grant Brown who is suspended and Danny Ireland who is still injured. If he gets on a role and can score some goals, it may be a bridge too far for Olympic. While you can't win the semi-final in week one, you can definitely lose it and neither side will want to concede many goals on Sunday.
For Hamilton, the loss of Jacob Bailey for the season will certainly be a huge loss as will be Ireland who in all likelihood will not play until the Grand Final – if Hamilton makes it. But, Kane Goodchild has been in outstanding form of late, scoring three goals in his last two matches including two on the weekend. Magic's centre backs Jon Griffiths and Josh Piddington will have to be on their game to keep the Golden Boot quiet.
The next two weekends will come down to whoever wins the little moments. In their last clash, both sides had chances to win the match in the second half and somehow no one could. It will be tight over the two legs, and even though Magic has conceded twice as many goals as Hamilton during the regular season; over the next two weeks it is difficult seeing them conceding many more than Olympic.
In these sort of matches, it really is a flip of the coin to see who wins it. There will be plenty of heart, desire and a never-say-die attitude. Extra-time and even a penalty shoot-out may even have to decide these two sides seasons come next weekend at Darling Street.
Shane Paul will miss the match for Broadmeadow as his is going away this weekend, while James Virgili (shoulder), Luke Virgili (leg) and Michael Finlayson (knee) will all return. Jacob Bailey (knee), Danny Ireland (ankle) and Grant Brown (suspended) will miss the match for Hamilton.
Bobby Naumov (Broadmeadow)
"They are undefeated, so they are obviously going in as favourites and they are the form side. However, if Danny Ireland doesn't play that would psychologically make a massive difference because I think he is the best goalkeeper in the league. Having said that the law of averages says your loss has got to come somewhere along the way. We've got two games; you'd like to think they are going to lose one if not two games."
"At the end of the day, we've got to be really tight because they have got some guys that are quick, their mobile and they have done really well along with [Kane] Goodchild up front. Everything points to them, including the stats, but those things don't mean much at the end of the day. We know what we are capable of, we can beat Edgeworth and Olympic. But, at the end of the day if you don't play to your full potential both those sides will be hard to beat."
Mick Bolch (Hamilton)
"The key is obviously shutting down their front third, containing, Kale Bradbury and Peter Haynes, as well as James Virgili if he plays. James Virgili and Bradbury have scored a good portion of their goals so if we can keep them quiet that will go a long way to getting the result. It's a different beast now the finals and I'm sure Chilly [Rob Virgili] and Bobby [Naumov] will come up with a game plan to try and rectify what has been going on the last few games."
"If you take a Danny Ireland out of any side it obviously weakens the side. We have just got to be better as a team. Realistically, defensively we have been good as a unit all year. Obviously, Danny is the best goalkeeper in the competition by a fair stretch, but we have got confidence in ourselves as a defensive unit. We just have to limit their scoring opportunities and Tom [Pullin] will do the rest."
Key: Whoever takes their opportunities. It will be close over the next two weekends, and whoever wins the big moments will go through to the Grand Final.

Wissy's blogspot: Polperro and Looe - Part 2.
Continuing on from my previous post, we took the very steep climb out of Polperro past the brightly painted fishermen's cottages and re-joined the coastal pathway heading east towards Looe. This part of the pathway heading down towards Talland Bay is beautiful with lovely views of both the sea and the sloping farmers fields.
Walking towards Talland Bay - stunning views.
 The pretty hamlet of Talland Bay has two small beaches with plenty of smuggling history. Only a couple of years ago a gang was arrested trying to land a large haul of cocaine into the bay from a boat offshore!
Once past Talland Bay the coastal path gets much more ardorous and tricky with the pathway undulating up and down the cliffs. The distant views of the coast and headlands are spectacular.
Horses grazing on the sloping fields just outside Talland Bay.
.... and this section was very steep!
Looking east with Looe and Looe island nature reserve in the distance.
We rounded a headland and there was Looe.
Looe is situated on both sides of the River Looe. The two towns are joined together by a bridge across the river. In medieval times East Looe and West Looe were separate towns. East Looe includes the harbour and the main shopping centre. West Looe is quieter but also has shops, restaurants and hotels. They are joined by a seven arched bridge, built in 1853. This replaced a much earlier bridge from the 15th century and there are still buildings of this period in the town. It has been a holiday resort for more than 200 years, and has relayed more heavily on the tourist industry since its pilchard canning factory closed in the sixties. Looe is still a major Cornish fishing port and boasts England's only remaining day fishing fleet.
Boats at Looe left high and dry by the outward tide.
The bridge separating East Looe from West Looe.
Nice pictures! You sure had a wonderful holidays. So, was those holiday cottages that you've stayed nice and comfortable? I would wanna spend a holiday there too.

GreatSchools overhauls ratings to be more inclusive
Amy Scott Nov 30, 2017
https://www.marketplace.org/2017/11/30/great-schools-gets-ratings-overhaul-be-more-inclusive/
Meredith Chaiken picks up her son Ezra from an after-school program in Baltimore. Amy Scott/Marketplace
On a recent evening, Meredith Chaiken picked up her son Ezra after a day of school at Margaret Brent Elementary in Baltimore. He's in pre-kindergarten, and Chaiken's older son, Tavi, is in second grade. Both boys are thriving in their neighborhood public school, she said.
"I appreciate the teachers," she said. "They're dedicated, they're working really hard, they're interested in my kids, and it's a nice community for us to join."
But according to the popular school ratings website GreatSchools.org, Margaret Brent is rated just two out of 10 for overall quality.
"I'm not surprised," said Chaiken, when informed of the score.
She wasn't surprised, because most of Margaret Brent's students come from low-income families. Chaiken, who does market research, knows there's a high correlation between poverty and lower scores on standardized tests.
"It's disappointing that it gets a two," she said. "I don't think it deserves that."
GreatSchools' ratings, in most states, used to be based entirely on student test scores. But this month the nonprofit group behind the site unveiled a new system. Type a school name into the search window, and you'll see an overall one to 10 rating. It factors in things like access to advanced courses, test score improvements, and disparities between different racial and income groups.
"What we are excited about now is that we are providing a more nuanced view of school quality and how well schools are serving all of their students," said GreatSchools' president Matthew Nelson.
Not nuanced enough, said Jack Schneider, an education historian at College of the Holy Cross. He's part of a consortium in Massachusetts studying better ways to measure school quality. Schneider said parents want to know if a school is safe, has an arts program or enough resources. The new overall rating still relies heavily on test scores.
"Schools are not monolithically good or bad," he said. "They're strong and weak in many different ways."
A low rating, Schneider said, can steer parents away from schools — even entire communities — that may be a good fit. Several real estate websites, like Redfin and Trulia, embed GreatSchools ratings in their listings, "which really walks a thin line between providing people with information and actually steering them in ways that lead to segregation," he said.
GreatSchools' Matthew Nelson said parents should think of the ratings as a starting place.
"The best way that you're going to know if a school is right for your child and for your family is if you go visit and you talk to the adults, the teachers, the administrators and other parents and students at the school," Nelson said.
But Meredith Chaikin at Baltimore's Margaret Brent worried parents who see that big No. 2 on the website won't even bother. The school had the same score under the old system.
"I'm sure that some people are scared away from that score," she said, "and I think they're missing out on what could be a great experience for them and their kids."
GreatSchools does allow the public to weigh in, and moderates those comments to reduce the chance that a review will be posted by someone who doesn't have direct experience with a school. On GreatSchools, Margaret Brent gets four out of five stars.
Editor's note (Dec. 1, 2017): This story has been updated to make clear that GreatSchools takes measures to eliminate reviews posted by people with no direct experience of those educational institutions.

Homeopathy can address the cause of the symptoms you are experiencing. It doesn't just mask the symptoms, it asks the body to make changes, to have a different, a more appropriate response.
Whatever the cause of the symptom, homeopathy can be used to go back to that point and ask the body to remember how it responded before this point.
Whether you inherited a susceptibility to a particular symptom or disease, or something happened that knocked you off balance, your homeopath can select remedies to go back in time and reset your reactions.
Sometimes we find that multiple events have led to your current health picture. When treated with one remedy a new picture emerges or rather a deeper picture is now visible and we are able to go back further and address the next blockage.
We find many people's health picture have built up over time rather like an onion, as we remove the outer layer we see a new layer that needs to be addressed.
To address the different layers of health we may use different methods of prescribing homeopathic remedies. We may find it necessary to use nosodes, tautopathy, detoxing protocols, hormone remedies and many more. We are all very different so have different requirements to return to health.
Book a free 15 min consultation to find out how a homeopathic consultation will help you return to health.

Q: Superclass method with argument list used with specialized lists I am new to C++ and I am trying to develop a 2D simulation on which every represented element is a subclass of Point. I have several a list for each subclass (listA, listB...).
I am trying to implement a function that finds the closest point to the current point, for example, which B instance is the closest to the current A instance. It makes sense to me to put this function in the Point class since it may be used by each subclass, but since my program uses lists of specialized items (std::list<A> instead of std::list<Point>), I get an error with the following code:
class Point
{
    Point* findClosest(std::list<Point*>&);
};

class A : public Point
{
    void update(std::list<B*>&);
};

class B : public Point
{
};

void A::update(std::list<B*>& blist)
{
    B* closest = this->findClosest(blist); //bug
    // do something...
}

Error message:
error: no matching function for call to 'A::findClosest(std::__cxx11::list<A*>&)'
note: no known conversion for argument 1 from 'std::__cxx11::list<A*>' to 'std::__cxx11::list<Point*, std::allocator<Point*> >&'
If I were using lists of Point instead of lists of specialized elements, it would work, but I would be forced to cast the elements of these lists each time I need to use a method specific to the class (like update() for class A).
Is there any way that my list of A can be interpreted as a list of Point?
Thank for help!

A: You can not do it this way because list<B*> does not inherit from list<Point*>.
In your case you will probably have to work by using only list<Point*> and instantiating each Point as either A or B: let virtual functions of Point do the separation for you. Though, in general, I do not recommend such design for various reasons (it will have slow runtime due usage of too many allocations and deallocations which will cause memory fragmentation problems; also there will be too many calls for virtual functions; don't forget memory leaks in case you forgot to deallocate)
If you really want to pass list<B*> for arbitrary classes then you will have to work with templates, but I believe those are a bit too early for you.
class Point
{
    template<class T>
    Point* findClosest(std::list<T*>&)
    {
      // write implementation here in .h; not in .cpp
    }
};

Geena Davis Has Two Steps To Make Hollywood Less Sexist
Emerald Pellot | Dec 16, 2013 11:00 am
Geena Davis has two steps to make Hollywood less sexist and they are pretty simple. Geena Davis is all about the strong female lead, from co-starring in Thelma & Louise and A League of Their Own, to playing the first female President on TV in Commander-in-Chief. Geena points out that in depictions of large crowds, scenes of townships and communities, female actors only make up 17% of the population and for every 1 female actor there are 3 male actors.
Then she makes an excellent point, "Couldn't it be that the percentage of women in leadership positions in many areas of society — Congress, law partners, Fortune 500 board members, military officers, tenured professors and many more — stall out at around 17 percent because that's the ratio we've come to see as the norm?"
When we see such underrepresentation from the moments we are children, it's hard to imagine a world in which women play an equal role when they aren't equally present. Here are Geena's two easy steps to increase representation.
"Step 1: Go through the projects you're already working on and change a bunch of the characters' first names to women's names. With one stroke you've created some colorful unstereotypical female characters that might turn out to be even more interesting now that they've had a gender switch. What if the plumber or pilot or construction foreman is a woman? What if the taxi driver or the scheming politician is a woman? What if both police officers that arrive on the scene are women — and it's not a big deal?
Step 2: When describing a crowd scene, write in the script, "A crowd gathers, which is half female." That may seem weird, but I promise you, somehow or other on the set that day the crowd will turn out to be 17 percent female otherwise. Maybe first ADs think women don't gather, I don't know.
And there you have it. You have just quickly and easily boosted the female presence in your project without changing a line of dialogue."
It's shocking that the most efficient way to include women is by including them.

> Commuting and regional interaction in Eastern Norway
Commuting and regional interaction in Eastern Norway
Authors: Sverre Strand, Øystein Engebretsen
Report nr: 777/2005
ISBN (digital version): 82-480-0515-1
Language: Norwegian
Attachments Hele rapporten
With commuting as the main indicator for regional integration we describe a series of intra- and interrregional contact patterns in the Eastern part of Norway. The main focus is on the largest urban regions such as Nedre Glomma, Oslo and the cities on both sides of Lake Mjøsa. Commuting has increased strongly over the period in question, with an average annual growth rate of four to five percent over the whole period 1980-2003 for all regions and relations, with the exception of the commuting from the nearby counties to Oslo, which has grown significantly less. The balance ratio between in- and out-commuting to the Oslo region has changed from 10:1 in 1980 to less than 5:1 in 2003. Another general characteristic is that commuting grew significantly less in the period 2000-03 than the average for the entire period 1980-2003.


The former Supreme Court justice retired to help her husband battle Alzheimer's. Research suggests there may be clues to the cure in that relationship.
Former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's announcement on Tuesday that she is in the "beginning stages of dementia, probably Alzheimer's disease" came a decade after she retired to care for her husband, who suffered and died from the same condition.
It's worth noting because couples are a ripe area of research for scientists who are trying to unravel the mysteries of Alzheimer's—and illuminate a potential cure.
We know frustratingly little about Alzheimer's. It primarily occurs among older adults. It's characterized by dementia and deformed proteins. But what causes one person over another to get it is still unclear.
Researchers believe couples are a promising area of research because they're ideal subjects. They live together and are exposed to the same environment that could help separate the genetic aspect of Alzheimer's from diet, pollution, and other factors. Couples are usually not related either, which helps isolate the genetic component.
One trend researchers have identified is that caretakers of Alzheimer's patients—people like O'Connor—may have a higher risk of developing dementia themselves.
In 2010, a research team published a paper in the Journal of the American Geriatric Society that found when one partner had Alzheimer's and the other took on the role of caretaker, the caretaker was 66 percent more likely to develop dementia in the next decade. Researchers were not able to say why it happened, however.
Interestingly, another paper published last year in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry associated being married with a lower risk of dementia. Lifelong singletons had a 42 percent higher risk of developing dementia than their coupled counterparts, while those who were widowed had a 20 percent elevated risk.
An author of that paper told CNN that simply being married wasn't the key factor. "Instead, our research suggests that the possible protective effect is linked to various lifestyle factors which are known to accompany marriage, such as living a generally healthier lifestyle and having more social stimulation as a result of living with a spouse or partner," he said.
Widows, like O'Connor, present an interesting data point for Alzheimer's researchers, with dueling results.
The 2017 study suggests that widows were 20 percent more likely than married couples to get dementia—perhaps due to the lack of social interaction—but still at lower risk than someone who was single for their entire life. But a 2014 study from the Mayo Clinic came to the opposite conclusion: Among 1,078 subjects, married people developed dementia at a younger age (an average of 83 years old) than their widowed counterparts (around 92 years old).
Underlying the studies is the acknowledgement that the spouses of Alzheimer's patients bear a huge burden—what some have dubbed "caregiver stress syndrome." Rates of depression are high among caregivers, and some researchers wonder if there is a neurological switch that flips when a person becomes a caregiver that ups their own risk of Alzheimer's. Others cite the fact that the healthy partner struggles with communication, making it feel as if the partnership that previously existed didn't any more and negatively impacting the social benefits of marriage.
If anything, research underscores how important it is for couples to maintain active social lives. Studies have repeatedly shown that's a key factor in neurological health—a cause for concern since we face a loneliness epidemic that is especially pronounced among the elderly.


America's Chamber of Commerce has predicted that President Donald Trump's strict stance on trade could put 2.6 million jobs at risk.
Mr. Tom Donohue, President of the business organization of the Chamber, issued the forecast in a memo to the board of directors.
He sent the memo on the same day the administration said it would impose steep tariffs on steel and aluminum from three of America's biggest trading partners — Canada, Mexico and the European Union.
"On each of these issues, the Chamber has privately and publicly expressed our concerns to the administration and to Congress about the economic damage that an escalating series of back and forth tariffs would have on our own country," Donohue wrote.
"When you're thinking about the overall economy, it's not just the trivial increase in product prices, it's also the increase in employment and the strength of the economy overall," he said. As tension rises between the United States and trading partners, attempts to renegotiate NAFTA are stalling.
But he said Vice President Mike Pence told him that he'd have to accept a sunset clause, which would make the trade agreement subject to renegotiation every five years. Trudeau said he couldn't accept the terms. The sunset clause is just one sticking point.
Donohue warned that the administration's harsh stance on trade could end up hurting the very constituents Trump is courting.
"The current approach will deliver the greatest economic pain to precisely those areas of the country that the administration and the Congressional majority are counting on for continued political support," he said.
"It is worth remembering that a tariff is nothing more than a tax, and it is not paid by the exporting country— it is paid by the American people," he added.

A-Team's Murdock Sharlto Copley Was Already In Character at Age 12
Published at 6:56 pm on December 8, 2010
Some actors say they fought for a role, but Sharlto Copley means it.
"When I was 12 years old. I started a gang playing 'The A-Team,' and another gang in school copied my idea," Copley, who played "Howling Mad" Murdock in this year's big screen adaptation of the 80s TV action-fest (out on DVD and Blu-ray on Dec. 14), tells PopcornBiz. "We had this big fight down on the field, as you do in South Africa when you're 12 years old, little mini-fisty fights – and we won. So we played 'The A-Team' for like a year, and I had a lot of the toys and merchandising and little trading cards."
"What resonated with me about the 'A-Team' was the Murdock character," Copley says of his childhood obsession. "My primary concern was to just try and make a character that fans of the show would appreciate and respect the way that I had brought the character to life again, and that new kids going out to watch it would like him. It was important because it was close to my heart to not mess that up."
Not surprisingly, Copley bonded tightly with the original Murdock, actor Dwight Schultz, when Schultz cameoed in the film. "I still keep in touch with him," he says. "I'm biased, but when I watch 'The A-Team' even now, I feel like he was the most talented of those guys. His performance still holds up. It doesn't date as much the other characters."
Copley was especially moved when he was able to show Schultz his own method in Murdock's madness. "I had done a test where I had shot some scenes that I improvised called 'Things That Could Happen to Murdock in a Hotel Room' and I sent those [director] Joe Carnahan," he explains. "I was doing Murdock as I saw him, with a whole range of different characters and singing and his invisible dog – I really had it all in there! That's how I got the role."
When Schultz arrived on the set, Copley said, "he would giggle at all the right moments, and then when he turned to me his eyes were welling up with tears – he just gave me a hug and said, 'You are Murdock. You just captured the spirit of him.' His only note to me was, 'Just have fun with it. That's what I used to do, and that is what you're doing.' It was quite uncanny."
PopcornBiz spoke with Copley just prior to the announcement that he would reprise his breakout role as Wikus van de Merwe in a sequel to "District 9," and his enthusiasm was already brewing.
"It's an incredible character, It's an incredible world. Neill Blomkamp is an amazing director, and it's something that would be a real honor to do, for the fans of the movie especially. I think it would be a shame not to do it."
