Training Caregivers
Eric and Sheila Samson's generous gift is helping to build a new health education campus to train next-gen physicians.
Our campus is home to the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine, established in 2002 by Alfred and Norma Lerner. The curriculum — emphasizing team-based problem solving, laboratory-based discovery and group collaboration — prepares clinicians for a career in research and patient care. The students also take humanities and arts-based courses to develop virtues such as mindful reflection on what it means to be a doctor and awareness of the rich context of caregiving.
Our five-year program — one year longer than most medical schools — emphasizes self-directed learning. That extra year makes an enormous difference in the quality of doctors who graduate, allowing them to move into residency training programs at the country's most prestigious academic medical centers, including Cleveland Clinic. Furthermore, the Class of 2013 received personal letters offering each of them a job at Cleveland Clinic after their training was completed.
Generous donations make it possible for us to offer a full-tuition scholarship to each student and to be highly selective with the students we enroll. Each year, the Lerner College of Medicine receives nearly 1,700 applications for 32 available positions.
"Al loved Cleveland Clinic. He always said that he couldn't be a doctor. But what he could do with this program was really give back to humanity."
– Norma Lerner, Cleveland Clinic Board of Directors and Distinguished Campaign Chair
Partnering for the Future of Medicine
In 2013, we forged two important partnerships:
Cleveland Clinic Health Education Campus
Construction of an unprecedented health-education campus at Cleveland Clinic will prepare students to lead in this new era of healthcare. We're working with Case Western Reserve University to build a new medical education campus in the heart of our main location. Students from the Lerner College of Medicine and the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine will learn at these facilities, which also are expected to become hubs for international medical education and faculty training.
Integrated Campus for the Study of Osteopathic Medicine
We have an affiliation agreement with Ohio University and its Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine to open an extension campus of the medical school on our South Pointe Hospital campus in Warrensville Heights. Through this affiliation, Cleveland Clinic and Ohio University are addressing a serious shortage of primary care physicians in Ohio, particularly in underserved urban and rural areas.
Next Step for the Next Generation
Cleveland Clinic also offers extraordinary medical education for interns, residents and fellows. Ours is the fourth-largest graduate medical education program in the United States, training more than 800 residents, fellows and advanced fellows annually. Worldwide, nearly 9,000 Cleveland Clinic alumni are practicing medicine. And more than 96,000 medical professionals participate annually in Cleveland Clinic's continuing medical education programs, with 10 percent attending from outside the United States.
Cleveland Clinic is committed to training the best and brightest caregivers of the future not only the science of medicine, but also the art of empathy — to ensure world-class healthcare for generations to come.
Cleveland Clinic also educates in the community. We collaborate with local colleges' allied health education programs to offer clinical experience to students, and our high school summer internships provide unprecedented opportunities for students to learn from a world leader in medicine..

We are one. We are one person, one heart, one soul. We are one life, one story, one chapter per phase, written one page at a time. We are one dream from a goal, one failure from success, and one success from our dream. We are one thing one day, and another the next, because we are anything but one dimensional. We are one of many, but we are also one in a million. And we have one chance at life, to take a million chances in life, to make the most of this life.
We are one person, capable of changing one world. Not THE world, but ONE world. This earth is made up of as many worlds as there are people, and that means everywhere you go, you are walking into someone else's world, reality, or realm, with the power to change it for an eternity. The question is, are you the one who is unafraid of the status quo, the norm, and the way it's always been? Are you the one willing to put the weight of a world on your shoulders, and to be held responsible for its rise or fall? And are you the one who can fearlessly chase a legacy defined by character, and emboldened by compassion?

Q: Google drive api upload User rate limit exceeded I'm using PHP SDK to copy files to Google Drive, my account can use unlimited storage
After 300-500 files uploaded, User rate limit exceeded show up and i can't upload until next day

    $qrun2->execute();
    echo "<script language='javascript'>";

Update using batching request still getting error

    $qrun2=$conn->prepare("update episode set mydrive='".$results['response-copy-'.$x]->id."' where id=".$episode[$x]['id']);
    $qrun2->execute();
}

In API dashboard the request in 1 hour is 344

A: That's happening because you're doing your request probably at a fast rate. I would suggest:

*

*slowing down, like creating a delay in between requests.

*If you can perform Batching Requests then do so.

*If it applies to you, try using other users to create the request under the project, like sharding the requests,.

Official trailer:
The Human Torch +1 this
Looks like Dogmeat is back
Moonshadow
The trailer is well-animated and then that dude shows up at the end. :-/
thats my thoughts too. I think its the over-saturated blue of his jumpsuit. But hopefully its just the tailer.
UK Legend Killa
Double NFF Champion
I think the fact that he spoke is probably more of note!
yeah but I hope that doesn't imply that you're only able to play male then. I love creating a Tank-Girl character for Fallout games.
Hadn't thought about that but Bethesda usually do very good character customisation
Pong Messiah
don't want to be buried in a pet cemetery
For one, you've always been able to pick the gender of your character in Fallout, there have been gender-based perks, and sequels tend toward more options.
For two, the Fallout series does a good job of giving its fans what they want without creating a "Homer Car" game or miles-wide-inch-deep experience. They know fans want the option of playing either gender; players would be pissed if the option of playing a female character isn't available in the new one -- as would people who don't even play video games who just wanna be angry about it.
Not much to see in the teaser, but I'm still excited. This be my favorite series.

Right!? Woop woop
I am so dreading this.
Gonna lose months of my life.

Back off man, I'm a scientist.
Pre-ordered mine on Amazon yesterday so I'd have it waiting on me when I get home from work Tuesday. I don't know if this applies to everyone, but Amazon instantly gave me ten bucks off of it when I ordered for some random reason. So that's cool.
This will be my first since the original Wasteland on my C64.
I don't love non-linear stories, I dislike leveling up in order to progress, and I despise farmin/crafting... But this looks too beautiful and fun to pass up.
they have been doing that with a lot of new releases lately if you pre order. it does apply to everybody, but still very cooll
You really don't have to worry about any of this.
Besides the first game, which had a 100 day limit or something (I don't remember how long it was -- I think it may also have been removed later?), the story can be as linear or non-linear as you like. Certain world-events may change the parameters, but you can follow (or not follow) the story at your leisure. It's part of the charm. With games like Fallout/Elder Scrolls, I have found that I prefer a linear story with breaks for "side adventures" (but not so many they become overwhelming), with characters who have very different skills and personalities. Basically, do 25-35% of the "side" stuff each time through the main adventure. This gives like, 3-4 really unique playthroughs. In addition, since this style of play artificially limits the swag and number of things your character can become godlike in, it keeps the game challenging in different ways, too.
Leveling is not an issue either; if you just want to get from point A to B in the story (without using exploits/cheats), your actions will cause you to level up naturally, so you won't feel any artificial caps on your progress.
Finally, farming and crafting are purely matters of personal preference, as well. You aren't playing against other players, so it's not like you'll need to farm or buy a crapton of extra stuff to compete with the freaks who live through their character and are on 24/7. Crafting is not necessary, either. Skill points are (kinda) finite; if you choose to be a crafter but it's not the way you enjoy playing, you may be cheating yourself out of other skills and perks that will make survival easier for the way you prefer to play.
In other words -- your fears are unfounded. Have fun and play how ya want!

My copy was dispatched on Friday so hopefully it should arrive at some point soon!! Arrrrrrrr!
And yeah Pong is right, it's not too grindy like The Witcher or similar games. It just a world you immerse yourself in
Yeah pong nailed it. IM SO ****ing EXCITED
The waiting just gets worse the closer the event gets!
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH
I'm loving it so far. A lot of it honestly feels like merely an upgrade to Fallout 3 and New Vegas, but it's such a darn good upgrade. I'm probably about to lose the next few months to this game.
Pong Messiah and Odine +1 this
Yeah Im loving it. Its to Fallout 3 what Skyrim was to Oblivion. And so far I think its got the best writing bethesda has ever done. Total joy to play. The slightly clunky animations just add to the charm IMO.

Cool, refreshing, and perfectly sweet, these popsicles are a great way to cool off this summer.
With the summer coming to an end, and a new school year approaching, this cake feels right. It's the big summer send-off. The Ice Cream Social before the school year. Did anyone else do those as a kid?
It's one of those desserts where you get to dive in, head-first, and indulge. Forget the bikinis, skinny jeans, and tank tops. We're headed towards oversized sweaters, and stretchy pants. You deserve to pull out all the stops, and so does this cake.
A few days ago it rained here. In California. In August. What's going on? Rain in the summer might be a normal thing in other places but not here. I'm not complaining though. Waking up to the smell of rained on sidewalks is my favorite thing to wake up to. The quick glimpse of cooler weather and a soft breeze gave me a craving for some autumn commodities.
Since wearing a scarf and boots while it's still over 100 degrees isn't appropriate, I took the logical course of action. Popsicles!
Let's talk about peanut butter and jelly, okay?
Sweet and salty / creamy and delicious / childhood memories... need I say more?
Blackberries were on sale, so I made blackberry ice cream. Naturally.
I've made so much ice cream this summer, you wouldn't believe me if I told you how much. Over 10 gallons! Don't believe me? I told you you wouldn't.
Chocolate cake layered with vanilla coconut ice cream, chocolate sauce, coconut and chopped Almond Joy candies.
Good lighting makes me happy.
I'm far from calling myself a "food photographer", but I feel like each new recipe I shoot I am learning more and getting a little bit better. I think I enjoy the photo-taking just as much, if not more, than the baking! It's definitely the creativity.
Carmel-Swirled Vanilla Ice Cream with Chocolate Covered Pretzels. WHEW! Try saying that 10 times fast! While it sounds complicated, this ice cream is far from it.
Just a simple (yet delectable) vanilla ice cream, with crushed up chocolate covered pretzels mixed in, and layered in carmel syrup! Sweet and salty, chocolate and vanilla-y, pretzel and carmel-y.... UMM YUM!

A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London. After the plane was airborne, drink orders were taken. The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him.
The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink. He replied in disgust, "I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips."
The Irishman then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Me,
too, I didn't know we had a choice."

There was a little boy named Johnny who used to hang out at the local corner market. The owner didn't know what Johnny's problem was, but the boys would constantly tease him. They would always comment that he was two bricks shy of a load, or two pickles short of a barrel. To prove it, sometimes they would offer Johnny his choice between a nickel (5 cents) and a dime (10 cents) and John would always take the nickel ... they said, because it was bigger.
One day after Little Johnny grabbed the nickel, the store owner took him aside and said "Johnny, those boys are making fun of you. They think you don't know the dime is worth more than the nickel. Are you grabbing the nickel because it's bigger, or what?"
Slowly, Little Johnny turned toward the store owner and a big grin appeared on his face and he said, "Well, if I took the dime, they'd stop doing it, and so far I have saved $20!"

"Do you want the bad news first or the terrible news?" the lawyer asked.
"Well, if those are my choices, I guess I'll take the bad news first."
"Your wife found a picture worth a half-million dollars."
"That's the bad news?" George was stunned? "If you call that bad, I can't wait to hear the terrible news."
"The terrible news is that it's of you and your secretary."

Q: How can I attach a file name containing a / with sp_send_mail? I have a query that sends an email to me each month for the previous month's data that we receive.  I'd like to include the last month and current year in the filename.  I got the month and year to work but when I try to show them in the filename, SQL tries to escape the line because I'm using a forward slash to separate month and year.
For example, the code below returns "2021.csv" as the filename.  How do I use a forward slash in the filename?
SELECT @query_attachment_filename =
  N'SITLAMonthlyEntityReport'
 +N' '
 +CAST(DATEPART(MONTH, DATEADD(MONTH, -1, GETDATE())) AS NVARCHAR(12))
 +N'/' -- This is the problem area.
 +CAST(YEAR(GETDATE()) AS NVARCHAR(4))
 +N'.csv';

I've tried using all of these methods without luck:

*

*N''/'' -- I get, "Operand data type nvarchar is invalid for divide operator".

*''/'' -- I get, "Operand data type varchar is invalid for divide operator".

*['/']

*/ -- I get, "Incorrect syntax near '/'".

I'd like to see this as an example filename: "SITLAMonthlyEntityReport 9/2021".
EDIT: I was asked for the entire query that included the snippet from above.  Below is the full query, minus email information.
BEGIN
    DECLARE @message NVARCHAR(1000);
    DECLARE @subject NVARCHAR(100);
    DECLARE @query NVARCHAR(MAX);
    DECLARE @tab NCHAR(1) = NCHAR(9);
    DECLARE @query_attachment_filename NVARCHAR(520);
    DECLARE @CRLF NCHAR(2);

    SELECT @CRLF = NCHAR(13)+NCHAR(10)
    SELECT @subject = 'Well Information Report'
    SELECT @message = N'Dear ###, '
                      +@CRLF+ N''
                      +@CRLF+ N'Please refer to the attached spread sheet for the results of last month''s information report ('

UK registered charity is an AIDS denial front group
The Immunity Resource Foundation (UK charity 1105986) says that its aims include:
"(I) TO ADVANCE THE EDUCATION OF THE PUBLIC IN THE FIELDS OF MEDICINE, HEALTH CARE AND MEDICAL SCIENCE; AND
(II) TO RELIEVE SICKNESS AND ASSIST SICK AND DISABLED PERSONS …BY PROVIDING THEM WITH ACCESS TO INFORMATION CONCERNING DISEASES AND MEDICAL CONDITIONS (AND IN PARTICULAR AIDS) AND THE TREATMENTS, THERAPIES AND RESEARCH STUDIES RELATING THERETO, AND WITH ADVICE AND SUPPORT;"
But the scientific claims about AIDS published on the organisation's website are dangerously inaccurate. On this page, Joan Shenton, the organisation's "Founder and administrator", suggests that AIDS "is not an infectious disease" and that "HIV cannot cause AIDS".
The articles linked to on this page all lean in the same direction, and many of them are by known AIDS denialists, notably the discredited virologist Peter Duesberg and the journalists Neville Hodgkinson, Celia Farber and John Lauritsen.
A Harvard study published last year concluded that the adoption of AIDS denial in South Africa by the government of Thabo Mbeki in the early part of this decade had contributed to more than 365,000 preventable deaths. In a speech in 1999, Mbeki had cited "the huge volume of literature on this matter available on the Internet" in support of his position on HIV and AIDS.

Review: "Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)" by Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson
I'm just back from a very relaxing break in which I re-read the absolutely outstanding book "Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)" by psychologists Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson. It has the rare merit of being accessible, well-written, solidly backed-up and jaw-droppingly interesting, all at the same time.
Elliot Aronson was one of the leading pioneers of cognitive dissonance theory, which holds that a prime motivation for human beings in forming new ideas is to justify and defend our pre-existing beliefs, even where this means torturing logic and evidence to breaking point. This, in turn, very often entails (more dangerously) justifying at all costs the decisions we have previously taken, more or less regardless of whether those decisions were right. Dissonance theory predicts that, in general, the more serious and irrevocable a particular decision is, the harder we will work to defend it – and (more dangerously still) to dismiss any evidence that the decision may have been a really bad one. Most dangerously of all, our need to defend a bad decision made on the basis of a flawed principle may lead us into making yet more bad decisions in future: The cost of giving up our flawed principle, and choosing a different path next time, would be to admit that we were wrong and accept responsibility for the damage done by our initial mistake. For most human beings this is an incredibly difficult thing to do. So instead we stick to our guns, and compound our flawed decision with further flawed decisions, regardless of all evidence.
There's some particularly compelling stuff in the book about the damage done by Freudian pseudo-psychology in the 80s and 90s, when dozens of people were falsely imprisoned on the say-so of psychologists who believed in the now almost wholly discredited notion that child abuse victims would routinely repress and forget traumatic memories, which could later be recovered by hypnosis. In fact, according to Tavris and Aronson there is no reliable evidence that traumatic memories are repressed in this way – if anything, traumatic memories tend to be so clear and intense that the victim is regularly and painfully reminded of them even when they'd rather not be. Worse still, there is strong evidence that hypnosis and the use of leading questions can lead to the creation of 'memories' that, whilst compelling and 'true' to the person experiencing them, are wholly false. The authors recount a litany of cases where parents and teachers were imprisoned solely on the basis of such 'recovered' memories, only later to be exonerated after evidence emerged of just how flawed and unscientific the methods of 'recovered memory' specialists actually were.
I found this account especially striking for two reasons: Firstly, I was not aware of just how weak the evidential basis is for so many of the Freudian concepts – like 'repression' – which still hold such sway within our culture. Secondly, and more tragically, Tavris and Aronson show how, just as dissonance theory would predict, many of the leading lights of the 'recovered memory' movement – including some of those who were later found guilty of professional misconduct for their flawed testimony in court cases – continue to insist that they were right all along. To do otherwise would be to admit to themselves that their incompetence helped imprison dozens of innocent people, and tear apart countless families.
One of the most disconcerting implications of the book is, of course, that dissonance theory applies to all of us, and nobody is immune – the authors give a couple of examples from their own lives to drive this point home. But the good news is that by becoming more aware of our enormous drive towards self-justification, we can – at least on occasions – catch ourselves before we've gone too far, and try to steer ourselves back to reality.
A key point that emerged for me – and this is something that I've really seen a lot of since I began researching "Don't Get Fooled Again" – is the extent to which so many of the most dangerous delusions seem to revolve around an over-attachment to our own egos. The quacks and cranks who desperately need to convince the world that they possess a special, earth-shattering insight that the scientific community has somehow missed – or is conspiring to suppress. The corporate executives who have persuaded each other that their cleverly-rebranded variation on the age-old "Ponzi scheme" is in fact a revolutionary "new paradigm" to which the basic laws of economics simply do not apply. The conspiracy theorists who believe that they uniquely can see through the 'official story' that everyone else is too stupid or cowardly to question. The antidote, it seems to me, may have something to do with re-emphasising one of the key elements of scepticism (albeit one that often seems to get forgotten) – intellectual humility:
Having a consciousness of the limits of one's knowledge, including a sensitivity to circumstances in which one's native egocentrism is likely to function self-deceptively; sensitivity to bias, prejudice and limitations of one's viewpoint. Intellectual humility depends on recognizing that one should not claim more than one actually knows. It does not imply spinelessness or submissiveness. It implies the lack of intellectual pretentiousness, boastfulness, or conceit, combined with insight into the logical foundations, or lack of such foundations, of one's beliefs.
This, of course, is easier said than done…

Streep on 'Toxic Masculinity': 'We Hurt Our Boys' With That Term
Actress made comments during 'Big Little Lies' panel this week

(Newser) – Meryl Streep was one of the first big names to sign on for the Time's Up campaign, and she has spoken up about "inexcusable" behavior she has experienced personally in Hollywood. But there's one term you won't find her throwing around in talks about gender interactions: "toxic masculinity." Per ABC News, Streep attended a panel discussion Wednesday in New York City for her HBO show Big Little Lies, along with co-stars Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, and Laura Dern, and the topic of toxic masculinity came up while Kidman was talking about a male fan of the show. "We hurt our boys by calling something toxic masculinity," Streep said, per InStyle. "Because women can be pretty f---ing toxic. It's toxic people."
She added, "We have our good angles and we have our bad ones. I think the labels are less helpful than what we're trying to get to, which is a communication, direct, between human beings. We're all on the boat together." At least one person thinks, though, that Streep has "zero idea" what the term really encompasses. "Toxic masculinity ... does not mean men themselves are problematic," writes Alanna Vagianos for HuffPost, citing an elaboration from the Good Man Project: "Toxic masculinity is a narrow and repressive description of manhood, designating manhood as defined by violence, sex, status, and aggression." Arwa Mahdawi agrees, writing for the Guardian that toxic masculinity "doesn't hurt men, it kills them." She explains that US men are more likely to commit suicide than women—in part, experts say, because men suppress emotions and are less likely to seek professional help.

Consider the increasing numbers of boys being raised by single (often man hating) mothers. These kids have NO CLUE of male behavior or expectations and, usually, no adult male confidants. They can easily become confused and messed up. They, most of all, don't need terms like this.

Home › News › The Alternating Bass
The Alternating Bass
Excerpted from The Acoustic Guitar Method
In previous lessons, we played country backup parts by hitting a bass note on the first beat and following up with three downstroke strums (or two downstroke strums for a waltz). Now we're going to add in another bass note, on the third beat, replacing one of the strums and giving us the classic country and bluegrass sound of an alternating bass.
Let's start with a familiar chord, D. For now, our general rule is: for the second bass note of the pattern, go up to the next highest string (meaning the string with the next highest pitch, not the one higher off the floor). So for a D chord, we'll play the second fret, third string, on beat 3, as in Example 1. Everything is still done with all downstrokes (toward the floor).
On an A chord, if we follow the general rule of going up to the next highest string for the bass note, we'll play an E note, or the second fret on the fourth string, on beat 3. It will sound like Example 2. You're now playing a bass note on every other beat, and following every bass note with a downward strum on the top strings.

Q: struct members value assignment with a loop I have such struct
struct hour_parameters{
    uint8_t VALUE_00;
    uint8_t VALUE_01;
    uint8_t VALUE_02;
    uint8_t VALUE_03;
    uint8_t VALUE_04;
    uint8_t VALUE_05;
    uint8_t VALUE_06;
    uint8_t VALUE_07;
    uint8_t VALUE_08;
    uint8_t VALUE_09;
    uint8_t VALUE_10;
    uint8_t VALUE_11;
    uint8_t VALUE_12;
    uint8_t VALUE_13;
    uint8_t VALUE_14;
    uint8_t VALUE_15;
    uint8_t VALUE_16;
    uint8_t VALUE_17;
    uint8_t VALUE_18;
    uint8_t VALUE_19;
    uint8_t VALUE_20;
    uint8_t VALUE_21;
    uint8_t VALUE_22;
    uint8_t VALUE_23;
};

struct hour_parameters hparam;

I would like to assign an uint8_t x[24] hparam, how can I do it with a for loop, that
hparam.value00 = x[0];
hparam.value01 = x[1];
and so on?

A: You really should use an array in your struct but....
#include <string.h>
memcpy(&hparam, x, sizeof(hparam));

( I'm ducking under the table now )
One the reasons this is dangerous is possible padding in the struct. Now,
since they are all bytes, you are pretty safe. But, technically, this kind
of stuff is not legal. One thing you could do before hand is
assert(sizeof(hparam) == sizeof(x));

If you insist on a for loop:
for(int i = 0; i != sizeof(hparam); i++) {
    ((uint8_t *)&hparam)[i] = x[i];
}

Which is ugly and not too kosher either. Kerrek's comments below present reasons not to do this.

A: This should work:
memcpy_s( &hparam, sizeof hparam, x, sizeof x )

Though this is not good code.
Note that your struct is equivalent to array, so better solution is:
uint8_t hparam[24] = {0};
memcpy_s( hparam, sizeof hparam, x, sizeof x );

A: As @Charlie Burns pointed out, you want to try and avoid it
unless you know exactly how the structures are padded/aligned.
Its not portable coding style.
You could also do a struct assignment such as
hparams = *(struct hour_parameters *)x;

A: As Charlie Burns says, you can use this struct as an array, for safety, force the maximum alignment of members to 1 if your compiler supports pragma pack
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>

#pragma pack(push,1)
struct hour_parameters{
    uint8_t VALUE_00;
    uint8_t VALUE_01;
    uint8_t VALUE_02;
    uint8_t VALUE_03;
    ...
};
#pragma pack(pop)

int main(void)
{
    struct hour_parameters hparam;
    uint8_t x[24] = {0};

    memcpy(&hparam, x, 24);
    printf("%u\n", hparam.VALUE_12);
    return 0;
}

Kenny Jackett will analyse video footage of Jamal Lowe's sending off before deciding whether to appeal.
Lowe's challenge on Jamie Allen will warrant a suspension, the length of which has yet to be specified.
Jackett admitted his initial surprise at seeing the red card brandished by referee Lee Probert.
However, after seeing the marks on Allen's sock, the Pompey boss acknowledged Lowe had caught his opponent high.
Jackett will now review the incident before his next move.
He said: 'I was surprised when the red card came out.
'I was expecting maybe a yellow but having said that I was a long way from it.
'Lee Probert was a lot closer than me and made the call very quickly.
'Looking at Jamie Allen's sock when he came off, it quite clearly has caught him high. I wouldn't think it was deliberate, it didn't look deliberate.
'But I can't deny he did catch him high and we have to accept it.
'It was a forward's tackle and it's a shame for Jamal.


If you're feeling sleepy at work, you may be tempted to reach for a doughnut for a quick shot of energy. Later you may skip the gym and pick up takeout on your way home to your family — no time to cook. When you finally find yourself back in your bed, you are too wound up to sleep.
Eventually, sleep deprivation can sabotage your waistline and your health.
The immediate result? You may be able to fight off sleepiness. Poor food choices coupled with lack of exercise set the stage for obesity and further sleep loss.
If you accumulate too much sleep debt, your body will crash.
Not getting enough sleep is common – especially in the U.S.
"It's not so much that if you sleep, you will lose weight, but if you are sleep-deprived, meaning that you are not getting enough minutes of sleep or good quality sleep, your metabolism will not function properly.
On average, we need about 7.5 hours of quality sleep per night, he says. If you are a five-hour sleeper and start to sleep for seven hours a night, you could start dropping weight.
"You are eating more, plus your metabolism is slower when you are sleep-deprived.
So, recommendation as part of your new way of life–eating right and following the rules, exercise (even if it is just 15-30 minutes a day of walking) and SLEEP!
Abdominal Fat is Dangerous! Save Your Health!
I have worked with people who feel that it is not a big deal if they are heavy. They say they feel fine. That "feeling fine" could be short-lived….
Researchers about 10 years ago began to notice that high blood sugar and cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease and even certain cancers mostly occurred in people who were overweight or obese and who were mostly sedentary. These problems were eventually called Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X.
Further research showed that even people with increased waist size who were not obese were also prone to metabolic syndrome. At this point, the focus of metabolic syndrome research shifted to visceral fat and how different fat locations in our body can make a big difference in metabolic disease.
In fact, excessive visceral fat may be more dangerous and lead to more chronic diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels than obesity.
Your BMI could actually still be normal but if you have excessive visceral fat, as measure by waist size greater than 40 ins in men and 35 ins in women, you have the same increased risk factors as someone overweight or obese.
Studies investigating abdominal fat and aerobic exercise have shown that exercising can effectively target this fat area and reduce waist size better than using weight loss alone.
In fact regular aerobic exercise just 30 to 45 mins per day, where you actually sweat, has seen some very positive outcomes.
Supplements that target the satiety, the term used to describe our hunger for food, have become an effective tool for weight loss. We know certain foods depending on their flavors, such as sweet, salty, and sour, can activate appetite centers in the brain in various ways. This is also depends on the type for the food fat, carbohydrates, and protein all cause different reactions.
One of the major reasons attributed to high protein diet's effectiveness is the ability of protein to reduce our appetite and make us feel full.
Therefore, my Skinny-Rules, which involves only 50 to 100g of carbohydrates per day and around four ounces of Protein consumed every 3-4 hours, six times a day–is enough to help you lose weight…but to lose that extra belly weight, you need to start MOVING! You have to exercise. Even if it is just 30 minutes a day. Walk the dog, walk briskly around the mall…but you have to move. Start with just 10-15 minutes and work your way up. Just 30 minutes a day, at least 3-4 days per week, will help you look your best as you are losing weight.
And if you suffer from fatigue or any illness, then try to take it slowly and do slow walking or swimming. Even chair exercises you find on Youtube can help you. But, don't give in to your pain, fatigue or fat. Do something about it, even if it is baby steps every day.

Fleming is an AP Scholar, a Dallas Independent School District (DISD) Scholar, a member of the mock trial team, volunteers at the Dallas Life Homeless Shelter, volunteered with the Sisters Network Dallas, breast cancer walk, and during the past school year volunteered Ruby Young Elementary School's community parade and school-wide performances. She also was the school-wide announcer and wrote for the school paper.
During her interview, Fleming recounted her courageous journey taking care of her mom during her freshman year when her mother, DeAndrea, began chemotherapy for breast cancer. Every day for nearly a year, she went to the hospital with her mom, then after school, she made dinners of SpaghettiOs, microwave macaroni & cheese, boiled hot dogs and tuna sandwiches, for her three-year-old brother, Gavin. "Over time," Fleming said, "Theater rehearsals were few and far between, while any other clubs simply became ideas of the past." Her mom is now cancer-free. Fleming overcame the challenges. She has maintained a 4.0 cumulative GPA, earned a 1470 on the SAT and a 31 on the ACT.
Tom Joyner, host of the nationally syndicated morning radio show, said, "Z'Kijah is an amazing young lady. She not only took care of her mom while she was battling breast cancer, she also took care of her younger brother – and maintained a 4.0 grade point average. I'm tired just talking about it. I know she's going to become an outstanding marketing executive."
Vicki R. Reed, an educator with DISD, wrote in her recommendation, "Z'Kijah has remained determined and strong willed in her pursuit of her future endeavors. When faced with a challenge, Z'Kijah views her molehill not as a mountain, but as a chance to display what it means to become an innovator, not just a leader."

A widower, Aich is survived by his two sons and two daughters.
Fully fit till sometime back, Aich breathed his last at his Baguiati home in northeastern Kolkata at 2.30 pm on Sunday.
"He died at around 2.30 pm. He was 104 years old," his son told IANS.
Aich won the Mr Universe title in 1952, and was given the name "Pocket Hercules" due to his four feet, 11 inch frame.
In 1950, at the age of 36, Aich won the Mr Hercules contest.
In 1951 he had finished second in the Mr Universe contest and he stayed back in London to have another go in the Pro-Short division of the Mr Universe contest, eventually winning it a year later.
Born in Comilla district, now in Bangladesh, Aich joined the Royal Indian Air Force in 1942 – when India was still a British colony - and took up bodybuilding, encouraged by British officer Reub Martin.

"If you exercise daily you won't fall ill. When you are young, you train to build but when you are old you train to maintain," he said in an interview to a fitness portal years back.
