Historic Liverpool 2010: A year in review
Liverpool Waterfront, by Ade Bond via Flickr
It's the end of 2010. It's been an… interesting year politically – a coalition government for the first time in my lifetime; frequent use of the word 'swingeing' in many and varied ways; the Conservation Centre is shutting its doors to the public; and snow is keeping you indoors reading this.
But what else has happened this year? Anything to warm our annual nostalgia cockles?
2010 started on an optimistic note – it was the World Museum's 250th anniversary, though this was somewhat overshadowed with the closure of the Conservation Centre.
February saw start of the excellent Streets of Liverpool blog. Later in February the keys were handed over for the new Museum of Liverpool, although controversy rose its ugly head later in the year when a historic view was shown to have been blocked.
March and April went by in a blur (oh yes, probably because I got married) and when things recovered the election was fast approaching. At the same time Lewis's was heading for closure as everyone felt the pinch of recession.
In July the first object – a carriage from the Overhead Railway – moved into the museum, but at the same time the North West Development Agency closed its doors. Another funding source for culture had disappeared.
The Peel Waters project cropped up again and again in 2010. English Heritage expressed concerns about the effect of the new buildings on the World Heritage Site, while in later months Council Leader Joe Anderson reacted angrily to what he saw as EH's interference with Liverpool's development and future prospects. Meanwhile we were spoiled for heritage and arts projects, including: Edge Hill station being turned into an arts venue, Heritage Open Days bringing people into Liverpool's historic water supply, the funding of conservation for 95,000 aerial photographs of England as well as Visible in Stone – women's history and the built environment and in October Black History Month. Finally, Historic Liverpool underwent a bit of a redesign, although it's far from a finished project. Here's to another year of additions to that!
Phew! Liverpool and its heritage have had their ups and downs this year. We've celebrated the old, welcomed in the new (mostly) and commemorated the highs and lows of Liverpool's past and imminent future.
Any predictions for the coming 12 months? Or is that an impossible task? And as for 2011, what kind of posts would you like to see here? More about researching Liverpool local history? Should I keep to the news and concentrate the history on Historic Liverpool? Or something completely different?

Black History Month and Liverpool

Black History Month is held in October each year. It's origins go back to 1926, and the work of Carter G Woodson, editor for thirty years of the Journal of Negro History. It's aims are:
Promote knowledge of the Black History, Cultural and Heritage
Disseminate information on positive Black contributions to British Society
Heighten the confidence and awareness of Black people to their cultural heritage.
Any student of Liverpool history (and any Liverpool child schooled in the history of the last 300 years) knows the role of black people in the growth, development and wealth of the city, particularly in the Victorian period.
At this time every year, however, a wider debate occurs as to whether Black History Month is still relevant. Is black history not worthy of study the rest of the year? Does the study of general history not include black people to the proper extent (and what is the 'proper extent'?).
It's probably not an argument that can be resolved conclusively, easily, or soon, but Liverpool for all its crimes during the height of trans-Altlantic slavery is in a well-placed position to enter the debate.
Black History in Liverpool
The award-nominated International Slavery Museum at the Albert Dock is perhaps the major place to go to learn about Liverpool's role in transatlantic slave trade, and was built on the success of the transatlantic slavery gallery in the Merseyside Maritime Museum.
As the Vision for the museum states, despite the horrors that went on as part of that trade "the story of the mass enslavement of Africans by Europeans is one of resilience and survival against all the odds, and is a testament to the unquenchable nature of the human spirit." The museum is telling an affirmative story of the people, who are depicted as humans, not simply victims.
Another story which is being told, and which has special relevance to the subject of this blog, is that by Eric Scott Lynch on the Black History Tours.
As their website explains, the tours encourage us to "raise our eyes from the ground, both physically and metaphorically". This, coincidentally, was how I developed an interest in the physical urban history of Liverpool: by looking at the details of the buildings, the friezes above the great doors of the Victorian institutions and the road names dotted around the city centre, you can see generally the past written out for you, and specifically the role of slavery – enslaved Africans and the wealthy who traded in them – in the creation of Liverpool as it is today.
Speaking of street signs, you may remember that Laurence Westgaph wrote a leaflet called 'Read the Signs' back in 2007. The leaflet covered a number of streets in Liverpool who were named after those involved in the slave trade – either making money from it or campaigning for its abolition.
A debate surrounded whether these streets should be renamed – including Penny Lane and Bold Street – or whether by keeping the streets as they are we would be reminded of how history played itself out.
There are events going on during Black History Month in Liverpool Museums. See the 2010 Events Programme for details.
You can download Laurence Westgaph's Slavery Remembrance Tour as MP3s and an accompanying map from the Liverpool08 website.
There are a number of books covering the trans-Altantic slave trade and Liverpool's role in it:
Liverpool Continuing Education
Another useful resource for your educational needs is of course Liverpool University's Centre for Lifelong Learning. They have an ongoing programme of courses, of which you may be most interested in History and Local History, or perhaps Irish Studies, which includes Finding the Liverpool Irish.
If you know of any courses which might be of interest to readers of this site, do get in touch. Or have you been on a course just mentioned, and want to recommend it? Let us know in the comments.

Discussion in 'Microsoft Surface Book' started by kenargo, Nov 24, 2015.
Surface Book i7 512 (just opened yesterday).
A plethora of issues and I'm on my second dock with no resolution!
Connecting anything USB is mostly broken. I cannot connect even something simple like a USB mouse or keyboard; the Book doesn't beep; it's like it isn't detecting the connections.
DisplayPort - if I connect to it then the Book's monitor goes black and flashes. I'm using the same connection I used for my Surface Pro 2; I moved the connections one to the other.
I went to the company store and tested the surface with a dock they had on the display and the mouse was found and DisplayPort worked (but that was the dock on the display). They exchanged my dock and I tested at the store; same issues, mouse wouldn't come alive. Just to verify the Surface Book; I connected it to the display dock and the DisplayPort and mouse worked so I figure the Surface Book is likely good.
Since I can't imagine 2 out of box failures I left with the replacement dock and it's pretty much a power brick at this point (oh, the network connection works).
I've done all updates and everything else I can think of.
Is it possible I have a second bad dock?
Have you done a refresh of your Surface (wipe it and start again)? To me it is more sounding like a Software/Driver issue, not a Dock hardware issue.
@msolok does the refresh really help? and should I do everything or keep files.
I have two docks and they work OK, in the sense that they are no more flaky then the rest of the platform. I went to do the refresh (being a Mac person I can reinstall OSX at anytime and loose nothing) and was surprised that it would at a minimum wipe the Applications and/or files.
There are ways on doing a repair of Windows without data lose or having to reinstall your apps. This is useful if there is something wrong with Core Windows files, but not if there is an app or driver causing grief.
You can make use of Restore Points if you know that it used to be fine and a software/driver install caused the issue.
Then there is the Refresh option. This, in WIndows 10, works in multiple ways. The first is keeping your files and settings but will remove the apps and drivers (as these are often what caused the issues) and gives you the Out Of The Box Windows files. The second is a wipe of the HDD, lose of ALL data, and a completely fresh Windows.
Each of the above recovery options has it's own benefits and draw backs. The Refresh option is the best in these sorts of situations because you are starting at the beginning without any drivers of applications there to cause conflicts. This will then give a good indication of weather it is a software issue (if you have the same symptoms with the refresh it is more likely to be a hardware fault) or something to do with the hardware.
Plus the OP only opened their SB yesterday. Now is the best time to do the refresh, before there is a huge amount of stuff on there.
Now is the best time to do the refresh, before there is a huge amount of stuff on there.
Thank you, I think I might just try the full Monty here. FLAKY is what I have and would hate to do it in 4 weeks. Limited amount to back up, just a lot to reinstall With Respect To applications.
My Surface Book is Day 6 with good days and mostly bad days.
Get a DisplayLink. I got one from Dell. Works great I can run 3 screens. No issues.
Received my Surface Dock yesterday (bought in Hong Kong). Touch wood I've had zero complaints and it just worked.
I have two Dell U2415h monitors that were daisy chained together for my SP3. Moved them as is across to the Surfacebook plus dock and it just worked - EXCEPT the monitor at the end of the chain flickered every so often.
That annoyed me, so I connected the second screen directly to the dock and everything works well.
You're not alone and the Dock and/or Window' support of it definitely has its reliability issues.
I am using the same external monitors that I used for my SP2, yet I'm still getting all these weird issues (black screen, resolution, monitor loss, etc.). Sometimes, all it takes is just a reboot for things to go haywire; for example, all could be well and then I reboot after installing some software but after rebooting, my eternal displays are all messed up! This is so extremely frustrating!
Without a doubt, in my experience, multi-monitor support on the SB is far less stable than on the SP2. I bought two docks and my first thought, too, was swap out with my other Doc when I started to receive the problems. But sure enough: No change!
All I can do is keep hoping they finally fix this mess sooner rather than later.

Through a few millennia of hard work and dedication Sharks have earned a name for themselves as nature's perfect killing machines, and Maneater's titular sea monster certainly lives up to that reputation. Roaming the Gulf of Mexico as a pissed-off bull shark with an insatiable appetite for human flesh and mutagens like a one-shark Sharknado is certainly a campy thrill. Its limitation, though, is that it's just as single-minded as its predator protagonist: the vast, vast majority of what you'll do in Maneater are "go here, kill X of this animal or people" objectives by way of combat that's as deep as a puddle, broken up by some amusing exploration and gathering of collectibles. I'm not saying it should've made us jump through hoops like a circus seal or anything, but there simply isn't enough gameplay variety to justify the massive amount of chomping you have to do to reach megashark status.
Our shark anti-hero has her own personal Captain Ahab in the form of a sleazy Cajun shark hunter with his own 'Deadliest Catch'-esque reality series (also called Maneater), which serves as a framing device for the roughly 15-hour story. That said – and I don't mean to shock you here – their rivalry and your nemesis' gradual descent into deformity and madness doesn't end up as an especially thought-provoking tale. This game is entirely tongue-in-cheek, of course, yet the shark hunter plays his vendetta a little too straight to be memorably goofy.The narrator (Chris Parnell of Rick & Morty and Archer fame) who follows you around with mostly made-up shark facts, however, nails it. In his role as the show's unseen narrator, Parnell comments on whatever you're doing and whichever fish you're encountering. As you move from area to area he satirically lays into beachfront resort development just as hard as he ridicules the kind of messed-up person who'd hunt sharks. "Sharks are responsible for just three percent of shark hunter deaths. Alcohol and poor firearm discipline account for the rest."
The themes at play here are a little conflicting. On the one hand we're given good reason to love to hate the shark hunters who we mercilessly and repetitively chow down on, while on the other we're constantly given the objective of brutally massacring innocent beachgoers by the dozen in the name of "vengeance", thus justifying a real need for shark hunters. Except sharks don't actually kill people very often, so there's no reason for shark hunters and they really do suck. And yes, I am thinking too much about the messages behind a goofy game where you play as a monster shark.
There's weird submarine scenery galore and tons of pop-culture references to find.
You start out your shark life roaming the fresh waters of a Louisiana bayou as a young pup (we're mercifully spared any overt Baby Shark references) and the map almost immediately starts to reveal its surprising diversity. Across eight zones we see everything from the open sea to shallow and narrow waterways, and they're all loaded with unexpectedly interesting stuff and interconnected with sewer pipe mazes and underwater caves. There's weird submarine scenery galore and tons of pop-culture references to find, with gags about everything from Titanic to Stephen King's IT to publisher and co-developer Tripwire's own games littering the shores and seabed. Even out of the water there's a ton to see, so it's always worth cruising around on the surface for a while in each area.
These gulf waters are teeming with wildlife, most of which is beautifully rendered and animated. Aside from the very occasional glitch these other animals are almost soothing to watch as they lazily swim around, and seeing the shape of a big predator emerge from the murk can be chilling. Larger creatures even show damage as you gnaw on them in a fight, and I have to say that a huge alligator with all four limbs bitten off is somehow significantly scarier than a regular huge alligator. It's like a massive, toothy murder-eel.Coming across each new animal as you move across the map's zones is great, especially since it deliberately gives little to no regard to what animals would actually be at home in the Gulf of Mexico. However, one extremely odd omission stuck out to me: dolphins are one of the few animals with a reputation for ganging up on and beating back sharks, and they somehow didn't make the cut in Maneater. I can understand why there are no giant squid or octopus in play, as that might be technically (tentacally?) challenging, but the absence of dolphins serves no porpoise.
As neat as the animals are, their ecosystem doesn't seem as lifelike as those in games like Far Cry or Red Dead Redemption because they – and humans – are crowded together in these waters without ever interacting with or even seeming to be aware of each other. You'll never witness an alligator chomping on a turtle or a pod of orcas attacking seals, and the legions of shark hunters will never fire a shot at any other sharks. Aggressive sharks and whales might team up against you without noticing how unlikely their alliance is. And you can conspicuously swim right up next to a seal without it realizing that their toothy death is imminent.
Splash effects are unimpressive even when a multi-ton megashark crashes down after leaping a hilarious 50 feet in the air.
Given that you spend 99% of your time submerged, it's a shame that the water effects don't look all that modern. If you put Maneater next to 2018's Sea of Thieves, for instance, it's not a favorable comparison at all: there are no waves to speak of, the surface is flat and muddy-looking, and splash effects are unimpressive even when a multi-ton megashark crashes down after leaping a hilarious 50 feet in the air to snag a pedestrian off a bridge. Underneath, it's just hazy-looking in a way that reminds me of an older game hiding its draw-distance limitations, without a hint of the light refraction you see in nature documentaries. It's not terrible but it's not the least bit impressive, either – especially considering some of the framerate slowdowns we saw on PC and PS4 Pro during the more chaotic and effects-heavy battles.
Fighting underwater is pretty simple: you bite the fish before the fish bites you. This involves dodging attacks using the left, right, up, or down lunge moves (which one doesn't seem to matter that much) then making use of the essential auto-target button to refocus the camera on the enemy who just darted past you and immediately biting them or whacking them with your tail to stun them so you can bite them more. There's a nice sharky touch in that biting a target smaller than you (or, at least below your level) has a chance to catch them in your jaws, at which point you can make a side-to-side movement with the mouse or thumbsticks to thrash them back and forth for extra damage.
Maneater Review Screenshots
Once you get the hang of the timing, though, it's usually not very challenging unless you're up against multiple big animals in a confined space, especially since your bull shark can outrun pretty much anything in the water and can regain health by snacking on nearby small prey. In other words, if you bite off more than you can chew you can bail and then return to the fight, over and over again if necessary, to whittle down bigger fish. I died a handful of times learning my limits but after that it was rare that I went belly-up.
I wouldn't call combat bad, since it does have its moments, but it definitely suffers from a lack of variety and balance over a 15-hour playthrough. Even after you develop into a massive, mutated megashark your options for dealing with the leviathans of the deep are very similar to those you had when you were just a pup tangling with crocs in the shallows.
What changes things up, at least a little bit, is when you come up to the surface to eat some man.
Early on I felt like an underdog, but once I crossed over into the adult phase the balance swung drastically in my favor. My first encounter with a great white shark was a colossal letdown – by doing what felt like a natural amount of side activities on my way there I was already a couple of levels above it, which meant the "emperor of the sea" was a complete pushover for my bull. A few other predators were like this even when they had a level advantage – especially once I got some bio-electric bodyparts that essentially turned me into a giant electric eel and let me stun as I attacked. That ability had several boss-level fish – buffed-up "apex predator" versions of a zone's meanest beast – go down with barely a fight. And yet there were a few, like my first encounter with an orca, that made me work for it with moves like literally slapping me out of the water with its tail.
What changes things up, at least a little bit, is when you come up to the surface to eat some man. You're frequently given objectives that involve consuming five to 12 people, and once you exhaust the supply of hapless swimmers, pedal-boaters, and inflatable raft occupants your only option is to hold your breath and launch yourself onto land to chase them down. It's admittedly hilarious to flop around like… well, like a giant angry fish out of water as you move from one beachgoer to the next to devour them. Since they don't actually run from you (let's assume they're paralyzed with fear rather than having terrible AI) it's as if every power pellet that Pac-Man swallowed screamed in terror before being shredded into a shower of blood and gore.One of the biggest payoffs is when you get the Amphibious upgrade that lets you spend a lot more time out of the water chomping on human snacks and hunting down collectibles. But of course, once you've done that a few dozen times with little variation to make each one memorable, it does become a chore – aside from that one time you get to eat a whole rave.
That kind of behavior will – after you chow down on four or five people – bring the shark hunters out after you. Fighting boats full of drunken idiots by leaping out of the water and grabbing them one by one is funny at first but gets a little tedious quickly, even when you earn and start using variations like tossing a victim into the air and whacking them back at their friends with your tail instead of simply gulping them down. Even once I'd gained access to higher-level attacks like ramming and spins and the boats got a bit bigger, I'd have killed for a friggin' laser beam attached to my forehead. (If that's an unlockable, I never found it.)
You have to keep killing shark hunters by the literal boatload.
But no, in order to unlock the mutations you need to buff up your shark you have to keep killing shark hunters by the literal boatload. I'd estimate I killed many hundreds of them – maybe even a thousand, all told. While it seems overwhelming at first to dodge their constant barrage of lock-on attacks that pierce the water with ease, with just a few upgrades to my health and armor I was basically ignoring their gunfire and smashing their boats to fiberglass splinters without doing whatever it is that sharks do instead of sweating. Even when these goons start tossing explosives into the water it doesn't make much difference – if you were holding still long enough for bombs to be a threat you were probably going to get shot to death anyway.
These fights went on long enough that I became numb to them, but there's a reason to do it: every time you sink enough boats to increase your infamy level another notch, a named shark hunter comes after you, and killing them gives you access to a new upgrade. Hunters get a short Borderlands-style introduction cinematic that's almost enough to establish their personalities (maybe if they had actual voices that would've done it?) but almost none of them have any distinctive weaponry or boats or anything to make their fights stand out. As a result, half of the time I didn't even notice I'd killed one instead of another nameless grunt until the reward screen popped up. They could've used some bigger boats.One interesting thing about the shark hunters is that, unlike GTA's star system, Maneater's infamy level is persistent – while the narrator will mock them for their short attention spans and obvious desire to rush to get a cheap beer after work when they give up looking for you after you dive into a tunnel or simply outrun them, they won't forget how many of their comrades you've eaten and will pick up with the same level of force the next time you make trouble. That's a more believable and higher-stakes system than the conventional one, and at some point I'd like to see it put to use with a variety of responding enemy teams that makes it feel more meaningful.
Growth also seems a bit stunted. It felt like I spent at least as much time in the first two levels of my shark's life (pup and teen) as I did in the latter three (adult, elder, and mega), which was a drag because of how limited you are in those early stages in the abilities you have access to – I was several hours in before I ate my first human. And while certain hunting mission targets adjust to your level, most animals don't, which means that until you unlock one specific upgrade (which I got almost dead last) you'll be constantly harassed by suicidal low-level predators like barracudas or muskies.
Maneater's upgrades never radically change how you fight.
You'd expect combat variety to come from how you equip yourself, but Maneater's upgrades never radically change how you fight. There are only three sets – bone, bio-electric, and shadow – and they really boil down to being best for fighting boats, best for killing animals, and best for killing large groups, respectfully. (I never actually got any shadow items because they require you to collect all of the collectables in an area, which is not how I like to spend my time – but our wikis team is extremely efficient at it.) You can, of course, mix and match your jaws, head, dorsal fin, body, and tail as you please, and the resulting Franken-Shark (correction: Franken-Shark's Monster) looks kind of awesome, but considering you just have to fast-travel to one of your safe-haven grottos to swap out parts at will there's not much of a decision to be made other than which set to dump upgrade points into first. Since those are incremental stat upgrades, like going from a 5% thrashing damage increase to 10%, they're not all that interesting either.

Dance Poison is a raw and lyrical inquiry into the confluence of cultures resulting from the subjugation of the Americas by European forces as described in a fictitious book written in the sixteenth century and banned by the Inquisition. The film blurs the boundaries between history and fiction and explores dance as a powerful instrument of both liberation and oppression. It includes references to historical figures such as Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo and Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, as well as pop culture icons such as Josephine Baker and Michael Jackson.
Filmed mostly in the Dominican Republic, Dance Poison combines new footage with rare materials from the United States USA (National Archives/Library of Congress, Washington D.C.); Dominican Republic (Archivo General de la Nación: Santo Domingo); Spain (Filmoteca Nacional, Madrid); and France (Bilioteque Nationale de France/Lobster, Paris).

Körriktningsvisare (numera också benämnda blinkljus eller blinkers) är en anordning på vägtrafikfordon och spårvagnar, med vilken föraren visar sin avsikt att svänga. Ordet körriktningsvisare är belagt sedan 1928 och blinkers från 1955. Körriktningsvisare består på moderna fordon av orange blinkande lampor. Äldre fordon kan ha en rörlig pil som fälls ut från fordonets sida. Moderna körriktningsvisare fungerar parvis (vänster fram/bak och höger fram/bak). Nyare fordon har körriktningsvisare inbyggda i backspegel eller på karossida.

Lagstiftning

Sverige
Äldre bilar (till och med årsmodell 1975) får ha vita körriktningsvisare fram och röda bak. Bilar från årsmodell 1976 måste ha körriktningsvisare som avger orange sken. Från och med årsmodell 1986 måste alla bilar ha sidokörriktningsvisare. En för föraren synlig grön indikeringslampa måste finnas, liksom en akustisk indikering. Om en lampa går sönder måste det finnas en varningsanordning som uppmärksammar föraren på det. Detta sker vanligtvis genom att blinkfrekvensen ökar.

USA
Körriktningsvisare bak får avge rött eller orange sken. Körriktningsvisare fram fick tidigare avge vitt eller orange sken, men måste från och med årsmodell 1968 avge orange sken.

Varningsblinkers
Man kan även använda alla blinkerslampor på ett fordon samtidigt genom att aktivera så kallade varningsblinkers med en knapp som oftast är röd med en triangel i. Denna funktion ska användas för att varna övriga trafikanter, till exempel vid motorstopp.

Q: Why do two patterns (/.*) and (.*) match different strings? Shouldn't the two patterns (/.*) and (.*) match the same string?
My real question is actually: where did the "abc" go? Something funky seems to be happening inside the mod_rewrite engine...
Given this .htaccess file in www/dir/:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (/.*) print_url_args.php?result=$1

A request for http://localhost/dir/abc/123/ results in:

*

*result ($1) = "/123/"

*$_REQUEST_URI = "/dir/abc/123/"

If the / is removed from the pattern like RewriteRule (.*) print_url_args.php?result=$1
The same request for 1http://localhost/dir/abc/123/1 results in:

*

*result ($1) = "print_url_args.php"

*$_REQUEST_URI = "/dir/abc/123/"

update: posted rewrite log.

A: When you are in .htaccess context (/.*) will never match the full URL, from the docs:

In Directory and htaccess context, the
  Pattern will initially be matched
  against the filesystem path, after
  removing the prefix that lead the
  server to the current RewriteRule
  (e.g. "app1/index.html" or
  "index.html" depending on where the
  directives are defined).

and

Per-directory Rewrites
...
The removed prefix always ends with a slash, meaning the matching
  occurs against a string which never
  has a leading slash. Therefore, a
  Pattern with ^/ never matches in
  per-directory context.

A: Your question helped me solve a very similar problem!
I don't have access to rewrite logs in my hosting environment (godaddy), so I was totally perplexed by the "second" rewrite, which your logs clearly explain. From there, it wasn't too hard to understand that the key to making this work is that those recursive rewrites have to be stopped somehow.
There's a great solution to that problem here (via serverfault user Dave Drager's answer to a similar question).
Try this:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{ENV:
REDIRECT_X} =""
RewriteRule (.*) print_url_args.php?result=$1 [E=X:1,L]

National Signing Day
Early Signing Period: 4 Star DT Jacob Lacey Signs With The Irish
Notre Dame is plugging up the middle with some bluegrass.

Share All sharing options for: Early Signing Period: 4 Star DT Jacob Lacey Signs With The Irish
Twitter @JacobLacey6
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are building the success of the future right where they should be — along the defensive line. Four star defensive tackle, Jacob Lacey, has just become one of those all important building blocks.
It's official now, as Jacob Lacey has sent in his NLI to Notre Dame this morning during the early signing period for college football.
Notre Dame fans might be taking Lacey for granted. He's been committed to Notre Dame since the summer of 2017, and in this day and age of "what's hot now," he feels like old news. That would be a huge mistake to make.
The 6'2" 285 pound Lacey plays with a lot of power, and although he is still a bit raw with his technique, he has the quick hands and low center of gravity to use technique along with his power to get the job done.
Lacey is an incredible talent and the Irish beat out the Michigan Wolverines, Kentucky Wildcats, Stanford cardinal, and Clemson Tigers for his services over the next four years. The Irish have methodically been building a strong defensive line under Mike Elston for a few years now, and Lacey can help continue that tradition.
From Jacob's commitment:
Lacey told Irish Illustrated's Pete Sampson that it was a conversation with a Michigan State student-athlete that ultimately convinced him Notre Dame was the perfect fit.
"He helped me talk through everything, kind of cleared up all my questions. One of the things I wanted to know is if I wasn't playing football, out of all the schools, where would I want to be. Obviously, Notre Dame has the best education for me. There's no other place I'd want to go."

Top Shelf Budtending — F.A.Q.
Here are the things we often get asked about regarding our process and practices.
Top Shelf Budtending is a certified "Responsible Vendor" in the state of Colorado. By completing the Responsible Vendor Certification, we are educated in responsible cannabis consumption, products, I.D. verification and how to detect intoxicated persons. To reinforce our promise to safe and responsible consumption, we also provide verification wristbands and tokens. (similar to drink tickets) This ensures that guests are staying within their allowances and avoiding any potential over indulgence.
Where Can Events Take Place?
Events can only be held in a private space during a private event. Many "traditional" venues are not cannabis friendly. No worries, we have experience with many of the cannabis friendly venues in the state of Colorado. Even if the event space you originally had booked is not cannabis friendly, there are other methods of legal consumption areas available. Some examples are smoke friendly party buses, limos and other transportation. Tents and outdoor areas, away from the main traffic are options as well. Edibles/drinkables packages can be used in place of smoked bud if a venue is smoke free. Also, remember that you want to book a venue that does not have an existing liquor license, as cannabis could jeopardize the establishment's standing with the license.

Paper Talk: Liverpool agree terms with €35m man, but want discount
Date published: Friday 3rd July 2020 9:02
Liverpool are plotting a sensational double move for a midfielder and a goalkeeper, while Manchester United are plotting to offload a Jose Mourinho signing this summer, all in the papers.
LIVERPOOL MOVE FOR THIAGO
Liverpool's first summer signing has been laid out, according to Spanish paper Sport.
And the publication appear extremely confident Jurgen Klopp will make the Bayern Munich midfielder Thiago Alcantara his first signing of the summer.

That could of course be a sticking point after Liverpool withdrew from the running to sign Timo Werner this summer.
Liverpool are believed to be unwilling to pay Bayern's €35million asking price in full and want a discount on the 29-year-old, whose deal expires in 2021.
Goal claim Klopp is a "long-time admirer" of the Spain midfielder from his time as Borussia Dortmund boss.
While Thiago is "looking for new challenges" and has an agreement in principle with the Premier League champions.

June 12th - Red Rose Day - What is your favorite color of roses?
Single Red Rose "I love you" Red roses convey a simple message: "I love you". This makes them the ultimate symbol of romantic love and the most popular choice on Valentine's Day. Other meanings for red roses include desire, passion, courage, respect, beauty and sincerity. A red rosebud symbolizes purity and loveliness. My favorite have always been white, red, and yellow.
Thank you Raven....I did not know that there was a Black Rose....' never seen One. And I did not know that they were a deep Red either.
I love all colored roses. My favorite would have to be either a mixed color (white/pink) or the red ones that look velvet like.
My favorite is the white rose, which is perfect to give to a friend. It also means peace, so I have been known to give one when I'm completely wrong to say I'm sorry and lets be friends and move on from this situation. Another reason you will see white roses as many people have them at their wedding. Its a sign of innocence. Here is a white rose, which is my favorite.


TWO YEARS AFTER MAKING "CITY HEAT," Clint Eastwood told an entire town to cool it.
The place was Carmel by the Sea, on the south shore of California's Monterrey Peninsula, a berg famous for its setting, its arts scene and -- for a time -- its prohibition on the sale of ice cream cones on its streets.
Eastwood -- an actor, director and Carmel resident -- changed all that in 1986 when he ran for mayor of the tiny coastal municipality and won. Then the man famous for playing Dirty Harry, decided to mess up the town.
He'd take out the ice cream ban.
To be sure, the reason behind the rule wasn't just some case of absurd nanny-state fastidiousness run amok. According to a contemporaneous Los Angeles Times story, the denial of an ice cream stand permit -- and all of the resultant publicity it occasioned -- was prompted by concerns about water consumption in a time of drought.
But that wasn't all Eastwood did. Sixteen months into his term, the New York Times reported, the actor-turned-mayor had, "provided more public toilets, built new stairways to the town beach and expedited previously stalled efforts to expand Carmel's library."
Still, Eastwood served just a single two-year term as mayor of the mile-square city, population 4,000 or so, before returning to the serious work of acting and directing.
During his tenure though, local artist Jim Miller had made up a commemorative poster, which then became the cover of the Carmel tourist guide. The poster's tagline, not included on the guide's version, promised, "Law, Order and Ice Cream."
The image of a bearded, six-gun wielding, western hat-wearing Eastwood, was apparently inspired by promotional art for films like A Fist Full of Dollars, High Plains Drifter, and The Outlaw Josey Wales, but with a twist -- or more appropriately, a triple scoop -- vanilla or perhaps butter pecan ice cream cone in his left hand.
Do you feel like sprinkles today, punk?
Inside, the publication promising directions, maps and essential information, included not one but two articles on where to find ice cream, together with a conspicuously placed ad to underscore the point.
As the man said, "go ahead, make my sundae."
In the Summer of 1987, soon after graduating from college, me and my buddy Chris took a baseball tour of California. Mostly baseball at least, and hell of a good time. This is the sixth part of a series inspired by those 16 days on the road.

A Woman's Place…
…is in the Shul
Reflections on the Current Debate on Women's Professional Spiritual Leadership
By Rabbi Nathaniel Helfgot, Rabbi Chaim Marder, Rabbi Adam Mintz and Rabbi Adam Starr
The Hebrew Institute of White Plains believes that the synagogue must be an important religious, spiritual and social home for women of all ages and backgrounds. Women have held leadership positions in the Hebrew Institute of White Plains for many years. They serve on the Board of Directors, as Officers of the synagogue – including the presidency- and on all committees. For many years we've engaged young women scholars as Congregational Interns. The Congregational Intern teaches formal and informal classes, serves as a resource to various groups, works with a bat mitzvah group, and shares Torah with the shul community on Shabbat.
We place a priority on the role of women in the orthodox synagogue, and work to ensure that women are integrated into shul life—including ritual, study, and leadership—to the extent permitted by traditional halacha. To help fulfill this goal…
A board-level Women's Focus Officer works to ensure that our efforts by and for women are coordinated and assisted.
Women join together in their own, shul-sponsored women's tefillah.
Women recite the prayer for the US government and tzahal each Shabbat as well as carry the Torah through the ezrat nashim, embodying our ideal that every person should have full access to Torah.
We have a female congregational intern who teaches and assists congregants.
Our "Isha L'Isha" efforts include a range of ritual, spiritual, and intellectual programming
A Yoetzet Halachah has been engaged in partnership with other Westchester synagogues. She will assist our rabbi by advising women on sensitive issues of Taharat Hamishpacha, helping women find solutions in real time in the realm of women's health and halacha. She will also serve as an educator in our congregation on these and related issues.

A new study suggests that doctors who accept money and perks from companies who manufacture opioids are more likely to prescribe these drugs to their patients, notes an article in US News and World Report. On average, prescription rates rose 9% in the year after payments, with each perk having a cumulative effect on the increase. CP3 Co-Director Julie Donohue was quoted in the article, observing that, although the study doesn't demonstrate causation, "industry promotion [likely] influences prescribing behavior" and that policies limiting industry perks may be hepful.


Since its founding in 1980, the mission of Vitreo-Retinal Associates remains to provide outstanding, personal care for all our patients. We have established a reputation in Central Massachusetts as providing state-of-the-art, quality, and compassionate care to our patients and remain committed to the highest standards of care and comfort for all our patients.
Vitreo-Retinal Associates has provided outstanding retinal care to patients throughout Central Massachusetts for more than 30 years. As a group of highly specialized eye surgeons, Dr. Frank J. McCabe, Dr. Brad J. Baker, and Dr. Bryan K. Hong treat a wide variety of eye conditions and diseases, in both adults and children. All are board certified and remain active in the latest advances in treating retinal disease.
Drs. McCabe, Baker, and Hong also are active participants in multiple clinical trials, important in determining if a new medication or test is effective and safe and looking for new ways to prevent, detect, or treat retinal disease.
Retina specialists train in the subspecialty of ophthalmology known as vitreo-retinal medicine. They treat conditions involving the retina (the delicate nerve tissue that lines the back inside wall of the eye responsible for creating an image that is processed by the brain) and the vitreous (the jelly-like substance that fills the back of the eye).
We treat a wide range of diseases and disorders of the retina. The most common of these include macular degeneration, retinal vein and artery occlusions, diabetic retinopathy, & detached and torn retinas.
We are long-time participants in a series of clincial trials that test various procedures and medications as part of our treatment of vitreo-retinal disease.

Embedded Benefits review, Manufacturing energy cost concerns
In most cases, embedded benefits are not 'benefits', but a recognition that distribution connected generators and export from storage do not use the transmission network, and so should not pay for its use.
However, as transmission network costs have increased significantly over the last 10 years the level of benefits for not using the transmission network has risen concurrently, and some have raised concerns about whether the benefits reflect the avoided costs of distributed generation and storage.
DECC issued a consultation on 1 March 2016 announcing further changes to the Capacity Market. In the document, DECC said there may be merit in concerns that diesel engines have unfair advantages in the Capacity Market due to how they are treated in the energy market, impacting the competitiveness of new large scale gas power station projects. DECC said Ofgem is therefore reviewing whether it would be in consumers' interests to change the charging arrangements for distributedconnected generators and that the regulator will set out its conclusions and a proposed way forward in the summer.
As a result of this announcement, Cornwall Energy was commissioned by the Association for Decentralised Energy (ADE) to review the level of embedded benefits that are currently available to generation and storage that connects directly to the distribution network and to better understand what impacts different approaches would have on the electricity market and on energy consumers.

Wolves poised for run at state title in track
PRESCOTT – Prescott High School is poised for another state title this year. This one in track.
Brian Glass, track coach at PHS, said the Wolves should be in the hunt for a state title, which could be the sixth in 10 years. He added the Wolves should also win district for the 11th consecutive year.
As far as competition, Glass said Genoa Central will be tough again this year, especially as the Dragons won state last year. He added Gurdon will be in Prescott's division this year and is a wild card. Fouke will also be a squad the Wolves can't afford to overlook.
Looking statewide, Glass said Lake Village, Bald Knob, Paris and Rivercrest will be in the hunt as well for the AAA title.
What helps the Wolves is the number of returners from last year, including five who earned All-State honors: Tyler Rucker, Bralyn Wilson, Ja'Mozyia Williamson, Ryan Johnson and Adrian Block. The first three are seniors this year, while Johnson and Block are sophomores with two more years to help the squad after this season. The Wolves also return the team's top two scorers from last year: Kadarius Pearson, who earned 132 points, and Deonte Jamison, who earned 103 points. Included in this field are nine who were named All District and 11 All State qualifiers. From top to bottom the Wolves should be solid for track this year.
Pearson and Rucker return for pole vault, with these two being the best PHS had last year, while Block, Pearson and Jordan Glass are back for the high jump event. Wilson and Pearson will again be competing in the long jump, while Johnson, Jamison will be in the triple jump. Jay Marks and Courtland Mixon will be anchoring the discus, while Jaylon Marshal, Hunter Grimes, Kobe Gillard and Chase Subin will be vying for points in the shot.
"We should be strong in field events," Glass said, adding the Wolves have plenty of speed for the track events.
Jamison, Pearson, Block and C. Johnson will be back for the 110, while Wilson and Pearson will also be in the sprint events. Everyone, Glass said, is back from the distance events from last year. They are: Trey Rucker, Derrick Nolan, Hank Crain and Matt Gill. For the quarter and middle distance events, R. Johnson, Williamson, Darell Lloyd, J. Giles and Ty Gulley will be the team to beat, along with Cam Cox and Trent Davis.
As to the relay events, Carlos Vanhook, B. Wilson return and will provide plenty of speed. All four are back from the 4×400, Wilson, R. Johnson, Block and Williamson, while R. Johnson, Williamson and Ty Gulley are back from the 4×800 squad. Glass said a junior move in, Quontravius Caldwell, should also contribute.
Others who will be working to help the Wolves win another state title in track are: Peyton Chandler, B. Wilson, Desmond Lloyd, Chris Cowling, Derick Thompson, Eric Wingfield, Quantas Gulley, Isiah Wayne and Cade Haynie.
Glass said the Curley Cubs will be going for the team's 14th consecutive district title, but will have to beat Genoa Central as the primary competition.
The major meets in Prescott this year will be: Senior Wolf Relays on March 9; Junior Cub Relays on March 14; Merchant Relays on March 30; the 7AAA District meet on April 27; and the AAA state meet on May 2.

Home Urdu Stories Nabeel Qureshi disappointed with not enough shows for 'Load Wedding'
Nabeel Qureshi disappointed with not enough shows for 'Load Wedding'
KARACHI: This Eidul Azha witnessed the release of three major Pakistani films including Load Wedding, Jawani Phir Nahi Ani 2 (JPNA2) and Parwaaz Hai Junoon. While the three films received positive reviews from audiences, film-maker Nabeel Qureshi expressed disappointment over the amount of shows Load Wedding was allotted at cinema houses across the country.
Talking to The Express Tribune, Qureshi revealed his film is suffering because of an ongoing dispute between the distributors and cinema owners. "They are useless and have no clue about what's happening. Fizza Ali Meerza (producer) and I had to inform them that the film does not have enough shows. It's not our job to tell them that."
When Qureshi eventually contacted the cinema officials, he was told that they were having contract issues with the film's distributors. However, he clarified the exhibitors are at fault too, for not granting Load Wedding a fair amount of shows. "As exhibitors, it's their job to give an equal amount of shows to all the local films that are releasing on the same day. If one film fails to perform well, the show times can be reduced – which was not the case." he said.
Load Wedding only had three shows in Centaurus, Islamabad, over the Eid weekend. The number increased on the weekdays which left Qureshi and his team "confused".
The film-maker, who has previously helmed successful hits such as Na Maloom Afraad, Na Maloom Afraad 2 and Actor in Law mentioned that even if the number of shows were equal, Load Wedding was still assigned smaller halls as compared to larger ones for JPNA2.
The 33-year-old added, "For a good competition, all the films should have gotten the same amount of shows in cinemas across the country. But JPNA2 was getting 50% of all shows and Parwaaz Hai Junoon took another 30% to 35%, leaving Load Wedding with a mere 15% to 20%."
While the reportedly unfair treatment at the hands of cinema owners is highly affecting Load Wedding's business, Qureshi explained that this is the first time his film has failed to reach the Rs100 million mark in its opening week. "Since the past four times, my films have always released on Eidul Azha and opened to a very good start," he mentioned.
Speaking about multiple films hitting movie theatres on the same day, Qureshi stated, "I have a good reputation when it comes to work commitments and had announced the release of Load Wedding last year. Having JPNA2 release the same day was fair because Humayun Saeed's films often release on Eidul Azha as well." Qureshi feels it was unfair that Parwaaz Hai Junoon delayed their initial Eidul Fitr release date.
Speaking of Load Wedding's shows in cinemas out of Pakistan, Qureshi explained, "In the UK, films have to buy show times. JPNA2 has a big team to back it up and they had 42 screens while Load Wedding bought 36. The distribution ratio in the US and Dubai is also very similar to that. However, Load Wedding fared well than Parwaaz Hai Junoon in the US."
Saddened by the discrimination, Qureshi said that the "damage has been done", adding that young and aspiring film-makers will not be able to survive if the monopoly continues to exist. He concluded, "We're not fighting for our fair share at cinemas anymore. We're fighting for the future of the industry and other independent film-makers."

The charity baseball game against congressional Democrats will go ahead as planned Thursday night, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., said Wednesday.
Before Trump's remarks from the White House, the United States authorities said the gunman had been identified as 66-year-old James T. Hodgkinson from Illinois, Xinhua news agency reported. He had been living out of his van in the Alexandria area in recent months, the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.
U.S. Capitol Police Chief Matthew Verderosa said late Wednesday afternoon that the agency will continue to deploy "a robust and visible presence across the Capitol Complex, and monitor national and world events to provide the level of security required to protect the U.S. Capitol and Members of Congress". Members walked over to those Republican lawmakers who witnessed the attack and checked in on them.
The FBI said the 66-year-old shooter had been living in a van since leaving IL. When his daughter's friend threatened to call the police, he "punched her in the face".
Trump later visited the hospital where Scalise was recovering. But the 2017 matchup will take on an added significance after the shooting at the Virginia practice field that left the alleged assailant dead and five injured, including Rep. Scalise of Louisiana.
Trump called for national unity in the wake of the shooting, as did House Speaker Paul Ryan and Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. Bernie Sanders, Ind. -Vt., told the Senate he learned the attacker "apparently volunteered on my presidential campaign".
The staunch conservative is among the lawmakers leading the drive to repeal former president Barack Obama's signature health care law, among other top Republican priorities. Sanders said he denounced the violence "in the strongest possible terms".
And they erupted in cheers at one particular announcement: We're still playing baseball tomorrow.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol Police, first responders, and all others affected". "Are you friendly?" It turned out that he was a Capitol police officer; he was friendly.
The shooting occurred around 7 a.m. ET in the Del Ray area of Alexandria, just south of Washington, D.C., and about 8 miles from Capitol Hill. They were in good spirits despite the heat and humidity as they prepared for the annual congressional baseball match that pits Republicans against Democrats.
The annual Congressional baseball game will go on as planned Thursday night at Nationals Park in the US capital. "This shooting is an attack on all who serve and on all who participate in our democracy". "Long before we ever served in the House, ' he said before walking away".
"I went in and I landed on a congressman, who I don't know who it was, and that probably saved my fall from breaking something", he said.
"I heard a gunshot and I yelled to Trent, 'That was a gun!' And Trent looks over, he says, 'It's a shooter, '" Palmer said. And having no self-defense, the field was basically a killing field.
Paul said Scalise's security detail exchanged fire with the active shooter.
The senator noted that at first they weren't sure who opened fire from behind the group as they tried to take cover. "He is an example of bipartisanship in himself", said Barton, growing emotional as he talked about his son. The man thanked him. Many have credited the U.S. Capitol Police for effectively engaging with the gunman, using their pistols against his rifle - a decidedly uneven matchup across a wide open space.
"Everyone on that field is a public servant - our courageous police, our congressional aides who work so tirelessly behind the scenes with enormous devotion, and our dedicated members of Congress who represent our people", Trump said.
Members of Congress practice for months for the event, and typically don the jerseys of a team from back home. "Steve Scalise is in leadership and that's the only reason there was security detail there at all". The last time a lawmaker was shot was when Democratic Rep.
In 2011, Giffords was shot in the head during an event outside of a grocery store in Tucson, Arizona.
A woman can be heard screaming for help in shocking footage she broadcast while trapped on one of Grenfell Tower's top floors. The breaking dawn revealed the blackened wreckage of the building, which was still burning more than 12 hours later.
The 515th pick in the draft, Lescher led the Quakers as a junior this past season with four saves across 16 appearances in relief. He was named a 2017 Rawlings-Perfect Game First Team Senior Preseason All-American and to the Southeast - All Region First Team.
That's one reason there has been little inflation in the economy lately, a continued concern for Federal Reserve policymakers. The drop in bond yields sent interest rates lower, which reduces the profits banks can make from mortgages and other loans.
