"A comparison of standard and novel bronchoscopic endobronchial biopsy " by Kashifali A. Khan, Ciara Ryan et al.
Background: The targets of bronchoscopic biopsy now include not only adequate tissue for histologic diagnosis but also tissue for further analysis. We prospectively compared standard and novel bronchoscopic endobronchial biopsy (EBB) retrieval methods attempting to increase tissue yield. Methods: EBB samples were retrieved using techniques A, B, and C using a standard forceps. Method A is routinely performed conventional method, where as in method B, biopsy forceps was left protruded from the bronchoscope and in method C, both valve and forceps were removed to prevent the loss of specimen. At least 6 EBB were retrieved per patient. Results were compared with gold standard composite of confirmatory pathological or clinic-radiologic follow up. Results: A total of 42 of 43 patients completed the study. The final gold standard diagnosis was cancer [non-small cell lung cancer, metastatic, carcinoid, carcinoma in situ (24)], benign disease [sarcoid, amyloid, hamartoma, and chondroid tumor (4)], and benign/nonspecific inflammation (14). EBB retrieved using standard method A were smaller than novel methods B and C (P=0.03). However, the percentage of cases where blood was the predominant component ( > 50%) was less by standard methods A (4/42) than B (16/42) and C (20/42) (P=0.001). There was no difference in mean viable tumor area (n=23, sensitivity for EBB for cancer 96%) between groups A compared with B and C (P 0.27) and adequacy in benign cases by subepithelial depth ( > 0.3 mm) (P=0.38). Conclusion: Standard retrieval of endobronchial biopsies through the bronchoscope and cap does not reduce the size of viable tissue and reduces contaminating blood and necrotic material.

Sportpesa Issued with a licence to operate in Kenya
SportPesa has been issued a license to operate in Kenya from the Bettíng Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) for the years 2022-2023.
"Yes. I confirm that we are in receipt of license number 0000448 issued by the BCLB and valid up to June 2023, Sportpesa noted.
They were among the 97 betting firms which had not complied with their licenses renewed by the BCLB
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) that they had cleared about 105 betting firms giving the way for the issuance of their operating licenses in the financial year ending June 2023.
BCLB boss Cyrus Maina said that only three firms Betika, Betafriq, and Spotika had been found to be compliant with the relevant documents, and went ahead and asked the authorities to take necessary actions against the remaining firms.
"The board hereby notifies you that only the following gaming operators have been found to be compliant with the Bettíng Lotteries and Gaming Act as well as the operating requirements issued by the Board as of 1st July 2022 and, therefore, their 2022/23 financial year licenses have been renewed," he said.
The confirmation of the firms getting a license comes a few days after their Chief Executive Officer Ranald Karau was declared Mp-elect of Kasani Constituency.
Karauri vied as an independent candidate after he lost out on the Jubilee Party ticket and ended up defeating UDA and Jubilee party candidates.

Court shown video of couple having sex in Domino's Pizza
The video shows staff continuing to work as the pair started leaning on the counter near the till
Dave Higgens, Press Association
Video footage of a couple having sex in a pizza delivery shop as staff worked on the other side of the counter has been shown to a court.
The CCTV footage of Daniella Hirst and Craig Smith was shown at Scarborough Magistrates Court, where the pair faced charges of outraging public decency.
Hirst, 29, pleaded guilty to the offence on Thursday and Smith, 31, was found guilty in his absence after a trial lasting barely 30 minutes.
The evidence in the trial consisted almost exclusively of the 18-minute long footage which showed the pair entering Domino's Pizza in Castle Road, in the resort.
It showed them ordering food and messing around with a yellow cleaning cone.
After this, the couple have sex leaning on the counter close to the till.

Staff can be seen working in the kitchen as the couple continue their antics and delivery staff come and go during the footage.
Hirst, of Gypsey Road, Bridlington, sat at the back of the court with her hands over her eyes as the more explicit parts of the footage was shown.
Smith, of Field Road, Bridlington, was not in court. The magistrates were told he was in prison relating to other matters.
The three magistrates sat stony-faced as the video was played on two large screens in the court room.
Earlier they refused an application by the couple's solicitor, Scott McLoughlin, that the video footage of the incident, which happened in February, should not be allowed in as evidence.

Mr McLoughlin said it had been illegally uploaded to the internet by a member of staff at the pizza store and, if it was not for this, the acts would not have been viewed by thousands of people.
But the bench refused the application, prompting the solicitor to say that Hirst had no choice but to plead guilty.

After finding Smith guilty, the magistrates adjourned the case until October 17 so pre-sentence reports can be prepared.
Chair of the bench Angela Beardshall said a custodial sentence could not be ruled out.
Ms Beardshall said: "This offence was in a public place.
Shocking pictures show huge fire near Cambridgeshire after arson attack
"It was a lengthy incident.
"Members of the public were present as were staff.
"The shop was on a public thoroughfare and members of the public should not have to put up with this disgusting behaviour."
Blonde-haired Hirst sat in court dressed in a black top and a lace skirt for the hearing.
Earlier in the day, she appeared in a pink dress and black tights but she changed her clothes over lunch.

As she left court she was asked how she felt about the hearing and she said: "Fuming".
Her solicitor told the court the incident happened after the pair had been drinking and he suggested that although the sex acts had been in public, they were not "brazen".

Hellas Set to Compete in Prague Baseball Week

The Greek National Baseball Team has announced that they will compete at the Prague Baseball Week this coming June. This marks the first game action for Hellas since the team made a Cinderella run all the way to the European A-Pool tournament.
RELATED: Hellas Remains In European A-Pool and Lays the Groundwork For a Brighter Future
It's been an exciting winter for Greek fans, as there have been some major additions to the coaching staff. Manager Rye Pothakos was replaced by long-time minor leaguer and former Olympian Chris Demetral. The 52-year-old Demetral has added some MLB-caliber talent to the coaching staff, first recruiting former Cub and Cardinal Erik Pappas to serve as the team's hitting coach. Then, former Kansas City Royal Mike Tonis was announced as another coach last month. The additions of Pappas and Tonis add not only two very talented and experienced baseball men, but also show that Demetral and General Manager Tom Mazarakis have been able to make serious inroads into MLB's Greek-American community. With such a large number of extremely accomplished Greek major leaguers like Tino Martinez and Eric Karros, Hellas could look to add even more star power to their coaching staff in the future.
RELATED: Give 'em Hellas: The Story of Greek Baseball
As for the on field product, Team Greece looks to be in good shape for Prague Baseball Week, as the program put the baseball world on notice last year by moving from the European C-Pool all the way up to A-Pool. Youngsters Antonio Torres, Andre Demetral and Luke Pappas look poised to carry on a winning tradition that was started by veterans Jonathan Kountis, Pete Maestrales and others. In just a few weeks time it'll be exciting to see how this new-look Greek squad matches up against some of Europe's best competition.

Brands are increasingly migrating to Snapchat and some are finding measurable success. If you've researched your target audience and determined Snapchat makes sense for your branding portfolio - be aware you need to develop an entirely new approach.
Snapchat is unlike any other social platform. It's all about capturing a moment - through video and photo. You can customize these moments with filters, emojis, text, and drawing. No links, no self-promotional "thought leadership" blog posts or auto-scheduled posts - just moments.
As Snapchat is all about the real-time sharing, metrics and analytics are not easy to come by. This presents unique challenges for branders who want to measure engagement and ROI.
Followers in social are often considered a vanity metric. They don't necessarily illustrate engagement (considering they can be bought on most platforms), but they're often one of the first metrics brands review to gauge how popular they are.
Snapchat doesn't provide follower counts. You can determine how many followers viewed your story, but that's it. This presents some challenges when trying to measure overall channel ROI and reach.
Branders have grown accustomed to likes, hearts, and +1's to help them gauge their audience's reactions to their content on social media. That real-time feedback, and the robust analytics built into most social media platforms and third party tools, allows branders to gauge which types of content are resonating with their audience and adjust accordingly.
Snapchat does not provide any way to engage with content in an easily trackable way. You can see real-time views on your Story Snaps, and manually measure Snap backs (replies) if you ask your audience to engage with your Snaps, but tracking must be done manually outside of Snapchat.
Social Media is increasingly being used for content distribution over conversation. Social channels like Facebook and Twitter are becoming concerned with the lack of original content being shared. That's not an issue on Snacpchat as all content (outside of brand content in the Discovery section) is user-generated. This is great for conversation, but makes it difficult for brands to promote content outside of the Snapchat ecosystem.
You can use text links, but have no measurable way to source track that back to Snapchat unless you use designated custom url shorteners like bit.ly. That works, but it's a more manual process than branders fluent on other social media channels are accustomed to measuring.
Most social networks allow you to create a user profile to tell the world who you are and what your audience can expect from you content-wise. Snapchat does not. Your username, score and snap code (a QR-type code with a 5 photo gif profile image) are all followers will see.
This makes it difficult to drive organic growth from within the Snapchat ecosystem. You will need to develop a multi-channel approach (i.e. use your snap code as your profile photo on other social media platforms - example below) to drive awareness and followers to your account. Oh, and be sure to create great content to keep them.
The real-time photo/video sharing nature of Snapchat means that content must be shared live. This means that brands and users who are accustomed to using scheduling tools to manage their social media accounts will need to manage their Snapchat presence directly.
The nature of Snapchat content also requires more creativity to be compelling, as all content is photo/video based.
It's easy to be on Snapchat. It's much harder to be interesting on Snapchat.
Snapchat lacks the branding history of established channels like Facebook and Twitter. Those more mature channels tend to have multi-account branding strategies for "Corporate" and "Employer" brand.
We're in the early stages of Snapchat maturing as a branding platform. This means that many brands are using their Snapchat accounts to convey Consumer AND Employer Brand stories.
The following brands are owning Snapchat right now. Follow them to get a feel for how they're using the platform.

Who says science jokes are not funny? Below you can see some of the best Engineering jokes we know, along with short explanations to the more obscure of them.
Do you know any funny Engineering jokes yourself? Let us know in the comment section below.
Liberal Arts generally tend to get lower salaries than other majors.
Civil Engineers are occupied with constructing various buildings. A dark humor joke.
Rebooting is usually one of the first things to do when you have a software issue.
An engineering student designed a robot who would take his exams for him.
The other designed a robot who could cheat off the first robot.
The frog then cried out, "If you kiss me and turn me back into a princess, I'll stay with you and do anything you want!" Again the engineer took the frog out, smiled at it and put it back into his pocket.
Three men were sentenced to be executed by guillotine – a priest, a Muslim, and an engineer.
First was the priest and he asked that he face upwards so he could look at Heaven and his Creator. His wish was granted and the blade fell but stopped 1/2 inch from his neck. The executioner said that since the guillotine spared him, his life was spared as well, and he was allowed to leave.
Next was the Muslim and he asked that he also be allowed to face upwards to look to Allah before his death. Again the guillotine stopped just short and his life was spared as well.
The engineer was last and he too asked to face upwards given what happened with the first two. As he lay there, he looked up at the mechanism and said, "Aha, I see the problem!".
An architect, an artist, and an engineer were discussing whether it was better to spend time with their wives or mistresses.

Identification of cell-specific patterns of reference gene stability in quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction studies of embryonic, placental and neural stem models of prenatal ethanol exposure.
College of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA.
Identification of the transcriptional networks disrupted by prenatal ethanol exposure remains a core requirement to better understanding the molecular mechanisms of alcohol-induced teratogenesis. In this regard, quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) has emerged as an essential technique in our efforts to characterize alterations in gene expression brought on by exposure to alcohol. However, many publications continue to report the utilization of inappropriate methods of qPCR normalization, and for many in vitro models, no consistent set of empirically tested normalization controls have been identified. In the present study, we sought to identify a group of candidate reference genes for use within studies of alcohol exposed embryonic, placental, and neurosphere stem cells under both conditions maintaining stemness as well as throughout in vitro differentiation. To this end, we surveyed the recent literature and compiled a short list of fourteen candidate genes commonly used as normalization controls in qPCR studies of gene expression. This list included: Actb, B2m, Gapdh, Gusb, H2afz, Hk2, Hmbs, Hprt, Mrpl1, Pgk1, Ppia, Sdha, Tbp, and Ywhaz. From these studies, we find no single candidate gene was consistently refractory to the influence of alcohol nor completely stable throughout in vitro differentiation. Accordingly, we propose normalizing qPCR measurements to the geometric mean C(T) values obtained for three independent reference mRNAs as a reliable method to accurately interpret qPCR data and assess alterations in gene expression within alcohol treated cultures. Highlighting the importance of careful and empirical reference gene selection, the commonly used reference gene Actb was often amongst the least stable candidate genes tested. In fact, it would not serve as a valid normalization control in many cases. Data presented here will aid in the design of future experiments using stem cells to study the transcriptional processes driving differentiation, and model the developmental impact of teratogens.

Boston Personal Injury Lawyers Breakstone, White & Gluck
Boston Concussion Injury Attorneys Breakstone, White & Gluck
Negligence - College Student Suffers Concussion and Post-Concussion Syndrome
Injuries:
Concussion, Post-Concussion Syndrome
Settlement:
$1.6 million two weeks before trial
Attorney:
Ronald E. Gluck, Esq.
Breakstone, White & Gluck, P.C., Boston (for the plaintiff)
Case Description:
College Student Suffers Concussion and Post-Concussion Syndrome
The 21 year old female college student suffered a concussion and post-concussion syndrome in March, 2014. The injury occurred at an entertainment venue at which the plaintiff was a spectator. Further details of this incident are withheld due to a confidentiality agreement.
At the scene of the incident the plaintiff suffered a laceration to her head and was taken by ambulance to the hospital where eight staples were used to close the gash. She was discharged from the hospital on the evening of the incident.
At the time of the incident the plaintiff was a college student in the Boston area majoring in interior design, a career which requires significant use of computers to create CAD designs. She hoped to return to school the day after the incident but due to symptoms of concussion she returned to her parent's home and eventually withdrew from school for the rest of that semester. She was restricted to a darkened room for two months due to light sensitivity from the concussion. Use of computers increased her symptoms. Four months after the incident, she received permission from her neurologist to participate in a semester abroad program in Europe on the condition that she receive accommodations in her courses including extra time on tests, limited use of computers and a reduced course load. The plaintiff successfully completed her semester abroad although the academic requirements were far less rigorous than those at her college in the United States. While she was abroad the plaintiff traveled throughout Europe on multiple occasions but her activities while traveling were curtailed to prevent overstimulation and exhaustion that could result from her brain injury.
When the plaintiff returned from her semester abroad, she re-enrolled at her college with a reduced course load and achieved a GPA consistent with what she had obtained before the incident occurred. However, she found the work exhausting. As a result, she further reduced her course load for the next semester. She again received the same level of grades but still found the work cognitively exhausting. Use of computers continued to exacerbate her post- concussion symptoms and she suffered physical symptoms from her cognitive exhaustion. As a result, she withdrew from college altogether.
The plaintiff received consistent cognitive therapy, psyche therapy, and physical therapy and had regular visits to her neurologist who confirmed ongoing symptoms of concussion and post-concussion syndrome.
The plaintiff did not return to college due to her ongoing post- concussion syndrome. In an effort to remain productive she worked part-time at the front desk of a fitness center and discovered that she was able to work approximately four hours per day before she would become cognitively exhausted which would lead to symptoms of physical illness, including dizziness, vision changes, mood alteration, and significant headaches. She settled into a 16 hour per week work schedule and ultimately became certified as a yoga instructor teaching one or two classes per week.
The plaintiff's injuries resulted in her establishing a lifestyle that was different from the one she lived before the incident occurred. She became a person who went to bed by 9:00 in the evening. She limited her socializing in order to prevent the onset of physical symptoms that would inevitably occur if she overstimulated her brain.
The plaintiff was prepared to offer testimony from multiple experts leading to an overall expert presentation which concluded that the plaintiff was unable to return to her previous course of study and that as a result she would not receive a college degree which would result in a significant loss of earning capacity.
The defendant intended to present expert testimony from a neurologist whose opinion it was that although the plaintiff suffered a concussion, she fully recovered from her injury after three months and did not require additional medical treatment after that period of time. Defendant's vocational rehabilitation expert would have testified that plaintiff had no loss of earning capacity and was fully capable of graduating from college and working in her desired field.
The plaintiff continues to work part time at the fitness center as a yoga instructor and in an administrative capacity. The case settled two weeks before trial for $1.6 million dollars. Plaintiff's medical expenses were $45,000.

Part 1: Understanding Drill – artist and expert testimony
In the first of our series of online events, we bring together a panel of speakers to provide expert and grassroots testimony to foster a better understanding of Drill music, its context and origins. This knowledge will provide the basis for the events that follow where we examine how to combat the State's racist gang and Drill narrative, make legal submissions to exclude so-called gang and Drill evidence and enhance the ability to run proactive defences in criminal trials.
Winners of the Legal 500 Crime Set of the Year, Garden Court Chambers is one of the leading criminal defence barristers' chambers in the UK.

The Black Lives Matter Movement has highlighted the racist nature of the legal system. The scales need to be rebalanced so there is no discrimination from the decision to stop and search to the jury's verdict. The whole system needs to be representative of the community it serves. Maybe then justice will be done and seen to be done.
In many trials the State's starting point and narrative is racist. Groups of Black youths who have a connection to Drill music, despite their good character and positive aspirations, are wrongly assumed to be members of violent criminal gangs overnight. Police officer 'experts' provide evidence of association in parks and 'on the road', they 'translate' Drill lyrics, so called gang signs and then pronounce on turf and territories. There is often an imbalance when the defence respond. Legal arguments fail to exclude irrelevant or prejudicial material. Defence experts are rarely called. During the summing up, all too often, the prosecution stereotypes remain unchallenged.
The consequences are often devastating with swathes of Black youth being convicted on the back of superficially persuasive gang narratives despite never holding a weapon, being involved in any assault or being part of a gang. The devastation continues with the lurid headlines that accompany the convictions and the vicious circle starts again.
But the State doesn't stop there. The police continue to use stop and search in a discriminatory and arbitrary manner; they employ the so called gang matrix to criminally categorise and to keep Black youth under surveillance and they ban Drill artists from performing their music, threatening to lock them up if they don't obey. All of this on the back of centuries of oppression.
In an attempt to rebalance the scales in the legal arena, the Garden Court Chambers Criminal Defence Team is running a series of webinars that examine the State's criminalisation of Black youth through racist stereotypes of gangs and Drill music. During this journey we will be acknowledging and celebrating the expertise of Black lawyers, Black artists and Black professionals. We are ambitious and hope that one day something along these lines will be used during the training of judges and lawyers.
Speakers, 5pm, Tuesday 8 September 2020

All I can say is YIPPEE!!!! It's Friday...I love the weekend! It is so nice to have a blank slate in front of you!!!
Here is my layout from week 3 Digi In Deep. This one was a lot of fun to make...I usually don't scrap about myself....so that was neat! I used my new camera (which I realized I have lots to learn!). We had to take our photo in the mirror and focus on our fingertip, and blur out the rest. I am definitely going to practice that more!
I have a few Birthday and Thank You cards that I need to make over the weekend...so I should have some new stamped projects for you next week.
2. Each award has to give the name of the author and also a link to his or her blog to be visited by everyone.
4. Award winner and the one who has given the prize have to show the link of Arte y Pico blog,so everyone will know the origin of this award.
4. Nichole Heady http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/ another fantastic inspiration!
Enjoy your weekend! Thanks for visiting!!
thanks for sharing another great layout! I just took some photos of myself today and I am excited to put a little about me on a page!

Q: If submit button is clicked too quickly after its previous click, my jquery protection against it breaks I have a survey-type 'form'. What the user votes on changes, but the input stays the same. After they press submit, among other things, the new thing the user gets to vote on is to be loaded. If the submit button is pressed at a low frequency, my program works fine. However, if it is pressed too quickly, my program breaks. I am confused as to why that is, since I have played around with enabling/disabling the button at particular times in my code.
Here is an excerpt of my HTML:
<button id='submit-vote' disabled='disabled'>Submit</button>
<element class='change'><INPUT id='hidden_id' TYPE='hidden' name='id' value='<?php echo $id; ?>'/></element>

Here is script from my jquery (I don't know if this matters, but this is all written in between </body> and </HTML> tags, and not in between the <head> and </head> tags.):
    <script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $("#submit-vote").attr("disabled", false).data('disabled', false);
    });

    function loadListing()
    {
        var id = $('input:hidden[name=id]').val();
        $.get("controller.php",{/* [relevant values]*/},
        function(data)
        {
            if(data.response == 'success')
            {
                //some code
                var newId = $("<INPUT id='hidden_id' TYPE='hidden' name='id' value='"+data.id+"'/>");
                $('#hidden_id').replaceWith(newId);
                return true;
            }
            else
            {
                //some code
                return false;
            }
        }, "json");
    }
    jQuery(function($){
        $("#submit-vote").click(
            function(){
                if($(this).data('disabled') !== false )
                {
                    return;
                }
                else
                {
                    $(this).attr('disabled', true).data('disabled', true);
                    $.post('controller.php', {/*[relevant values]*/} ,
                    function(data)
                    {
                        if(data.response == 'success')
                        {
                            //code
                            loadListing();
                            $('#submit-vote').attr('disabled', false).data('disabled',false);
                            return true;
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            //code
                            $('#submit-vote').attr('disabled', false).data('disabled',false)
                            return false;
                        }
                    }, "json");
                }
            }
        );
    });
    </script>

EDIT: (I have updated my jquery to include code from the 1st answer to this question, and I have also included a bit more of my html).
Here is my 'controller.php' excerpt. I have edited a lot of stuff out of it, so as only to include the important stuff. The important thing to know is that all of this usually works perfectly fine unless the submit button click is clicked very very frequently.:
if(!isset($_POST['poll']) && !isset($_GET['newListing'])) //UPON PAGE LOAD
{
    $activities = Activity::newActivitiesArrays($user_id);
    $_SESSION['activities'] = $activities;
    //more relevant code
    include('view.php');
}
if(isset($_POST['poll']) && !isset($_GET['newListing'])) //submitting vote
{
    //relevant code using posted values
    $res = Activity::vote($user_id, $id, $vote);
    if( !$res )
    {
        echo json_encode(array("response"=>"fail"));
    }
    else
    {
        echo json_encode( array("response"=>"success"));
    }
}
if(isset($_GET['newListing']) && isset($_GET['id'])) //getting something different to display
{
    $id = $_GET['id'];
    $activities = $_SESSION['activities'];
    list($acts, $links, $ids) = $activities;
    $keys = array_keys($ids, $id);
    $key=$keys[0];
    if(!$key)
    {
        echo json_encode( array("response"=>"failure"));
    }
    else
    {
        //relevant code
        unset($_SESSION['activities']);
        $_SESSION['activities'] = $activities;
        echo json_encode( array("response"=>"success"));
    }
}

Any help/suggestions appreciated.

A: A button with the property disabled="disabled" will still fire a click event. You need to assign a variable so the script knows that it is disabled. I recommend using data()
        $(function(){
             //The button should be enabled only as soon as the page is ready.
            $("#submit-vote").attr("disabled", false).data("disabled", false);

            $("#submit-vote").click(
                function(){
                    if($(this).data('disabled') !== false)
                    {
                        return;
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        $(this).attr('disabled', true).data('disabled',true); //disable the button

                        $.post('controller.php', {/* [RELAVANT VALUES] */ } ,
                        function(data)
                        {
                            if(data.response == 'success')
                            {
                                //some code
                                $('#submit-vote').attr('disabled', false).data('disabled',false); //enable button
                                return true;
                            }
                            else
                            {
                                //some code
                                $('#submit-vote').attr('disabled', false).data('disabled',false); //enable button
                                return false;
                            }
                        }, "json");
                    }
                }

The next WatchPaper & Microbrand Watches Group giveaway is a JUVO M3 triple winder, the same one that I was reviewing a few weeks ago. JUVO Luxury is a watch accessory microbrand founded by a fellow watch blogger, Bhanu Chopra from WatchUSeek, who noticed a poorly served niche, that of high-quality and elegant watch winders that won't cost a fortune. JUVO winders are not only about keeping your watches running but they are also pieces of furniture with a modern design and luxurious finish that will highlight your collection. There are several versions of the M3 winder: all black, carbon fibre, red panel/black trim, and the model we are giving out here that has black panels and red aluminium trims and if you need spinning more than three watches, there are also two M4 models.
As a microbrand, Juvo has mainly an online presence, with only a few select retailers carrying it, although from what I was told, they are open to looking into expanding their retail network. The M3 can be ordered directly from the Juvo website or from Amazon. The price is $799 US with free shipping in the U.S. and flat $49.99 for international shipping, which is fantastic considering the weight and the size of the parcel.

In Which The BBC Miss A Few Things About Chris Froome
So the BBC posted a 'Why do the British not love Chris Froome?' article, and seemed to miss every single important point.
They seem to think that it's because he's not Bradley Wiggins. Because everyone loved Wiggins (which isn't true either but never mind).
The article said that people were being hypocritical because Wiggins is a foreign-born half-Aussie, and it's like, nah, because you see Wiggins never cycled under any other flag while I remember Froome as a Kenyan. I've got no issue with people changing nationality or being dual nationals (because that would be a bit pot, kettle, black) but it does affect how some people see sportspeople.
The other problems are really not Froome's fault at all:
1) Cycling has an image problem. Cyclists are presumed guilty. Is it fair? No. Is it reasonable given the last twenty years of cycling? Yes. That general cloud of suspicion envelops Froome because he's one of the best cyclists at the moment.
2) Team Sky are the big team. They have money, technology and buy the best members from other teams. They are the over-dog and Froome is part of this. It is very hard to cheer for the over-dog if you are not already invested, and most casual cycling fans aren't.
3) He's not the first Brit to do this. It's not fair, but first gets a lot more praise.
4) He never seems to have an off-day. Everyone else has a stage where they crack and have to be dragged up the hill by their team-mates. Froome doesn't. Which increases suspicions because you know who else never had off-days? He who they try to pretend never happened.
5) He doesn't seem to suffer or to have to try. I think this one really isn't his fault, he just has one of those faces that doesn't reveal much. Contrast this with say Thomas Voeckler, who, we all know when he's trying because the tongue appears, or Cadel Evans, whose whole body bent into peculiar shapes when he was trying. It makes it harder to empathize.
6) The unfortunate incident of the TUE (therapeutic usage exemption) (details here). No actual wrong-doing occurred, but when you're in a sport with a known drug problem, even innocent usage of corticosteroids is going to get looked at funny. And I have no idea why the BBC article doesn't mention this. Or rather I do, because the article is a Froome/Sky puff piece, but that TUE is one of the reasons people feel uneasy about Froome, and to omit mention of it entirely is to make the article pointless.
Personally, I think Froome is as clean as everyone else in the peleton, and I prefer him to Wiggins but that BBC article missed a lot of the why of why people aren't going ga-ga over him.

National Court of Spain Takes the Investigation of the Alleged Ponzi Crypto Scheme Arbistar
Post category:Market News
The investigation against an alleged major Spanish Ponzi crypto scheme will now be in charge of the National Court of Spain. A judge from the national legal instance is now taking the investigation of Arbistar after the inhibition of a judge in Tenerife.
Economic Damages Could Reach Over $120 Million
According to El País, judge José Luis Calama agreed to investigate Arbistar 2.0 SL, as victims of the alleged scam are almost 1,127. Still, authorities believe the number could be as high as 32,000.
As a worrisome fact for the judge, said El País, the amount of money stolen on the alleged Ponzi crypto scheme could be over 100 million euros ($120 million). However, law enforcement has accounted for over 41 million euros ($49.26 million) in damages as of press time.
That said, Calama pointed out that Arbistar could be the "biggest scam in Spain" related to cryptocurrencies, considering that the bogus crypto trading bots platform allegedly had victims in 30 of the 50 Spanish provinces.
Santiago Fuentes, the head of Arbistar, is under probation. Together with his accomplices, he could have been involved in aggravated fraud, criminal organization, and continued crime of falsification of commercial documents said a judge of the Central Court of Instruction 4 previously.
Two of the Arbistar's members, who were at large and wanted by the Interpol, reportedly surrendered before the Spanish authorities, said El País.
Victims Are Not Only Based in Europe but Also in Latin America
Judge Calama's words on Arbistar are not a new statement given in the context of the case. Carlos Aránguez, a Spanish lawyer who represents 130 victims of Arbistar, commented in December 2020 that the magnitude of the disaster provoked by the alleged crypto Ponzi scheme could be qualified as the "biggest computer scam" in Spain.
Victims represented by the lawyer are located in Mexico, Venezuela, France, Andorra, and almost 20 Spanish provinces, who claimed to had invested into the Arbicorp's bots — the firm that owns Arbistar — and which promised yields of approximately 28%.
But suddenly, the firm announced the freezing of accounts belonging to over 120,000 investors on September 12, 2020, due to an alleged "failure" in one of its crypto trading bots.
What do you think about the National Court of Spain taking the investigation of Arbistar? Let us know in the comments section below.

Nissan move: Is Brexit to blame as Japan says sayonara?
Sony, Hitachi and now Nissan. Regardless of how much blame you attach to Brexit it is clear that Britain's long-term close economic relationship with Japan is under strain.
Sony's decision to relocate its European headquarters to the Netherlands is perhaps most closely attributable to Britain's departure from the European Union.
It is ultimately a defensive move that could be significant in the event of a hard Brexit — but if the UK retains a close economic relationship with the EU it could be largely symbolic.
At the other end of the scale, Hitachi's decision to suspend work on its £20 billion nuclear reactor in Wales is much less linked to Brexit.

Denisa Bautista – Pregnancy and childbirth Success Story
Supportive care for urgent deliveries
Methodist Mansfield's obstetrics emergency department prioritizes women's health
"I am so happy I came to Methodist Mansfield,"
Denisa says. "Sherlyn is my miracle baby. We were
at the right place at the right time."
In the early-morning hours of Oct. 3, 2016, 18-year-old Denisa Bautista was doing laundry when strong, painful abdominal cramps took her breath away, making it hard for her to walk. She thought she might have food poisoning, so she called her mom.
Denisa's mother wasn't concerned about food poisoning, rather that something was wrong with her daughter's pregnancy, then just over 39 weeks along. She told Denisa to go immediately to the emergency department at Methodist Mansfield Medical Center.
As soon as Denisa arrived, her water broke. Hospital staff members rushed her to the new obstetrics emergency department (OB/ED). Her baby was coming.
Specialty care makes the difference
"I was scared and excited at the same time," Denisa says. "It was my first baby, and I didn't want to lose her. Knowing that the doctors and nurses were doing all they could was so reassuring. I had no idea how far along I was in labor because I didn't have any of the typical symptoms. The baby came quickly."
A few hours later, Sherlyn Perez, weighing a healthy 7 pounds, 6 ounces, was delivered at 4:40 p.m. by Paul Lansdowne, MD, board-certified OB-GYN on the Methodist Mansfield medical staff. He placed Sherlyn in an incubator and treated her for jaundice, a common condition among newborns.
"I am so thankful that we came here and that my baby's father was here to cut the umbilical cord," Denisa says. "Everyone was so warm and supportive to me."
Methodist Mansfield's OB/ED is the first of its kind in the Mansfield/Arlington area, offering around-the-clock care for women experiencing pregnancy-related complications, preterm labor, abnormal bleeding, or gynecologic emergencies.
"The OB/ED, located on the second floor of the Women's Pavilion, offers women quick assessment and care while providing more privacy and less exposure to airborne illnesses," says Tiffany Remsing, MD, medical director of the OB/ED and OB-GYN on the Methodist Mansfield medical staff.
Here for women like you
Open since October 2016, the OB/ED has already had a significant impact in the lives of local pregnant women. One woman was suffering with cholestasis (a liver condition that causes severe itching), so doctors decided to induce her delivery at 37 weeks. One mother's unborn baby was not moving well and required an immediate delivery. Another woman's fetus was turned sideways in the womb, and the OB/ED team needed to rotate it to the proper position so that the baby could be delivered safely.
The OB/ED specialists have also performed D&Cs (dilation and curettage procedures), removed ovarian cysts, and prescribed antibiotics for pelvic infections. In addition to Drs. Remsing and Lansdowne, the team includes Lynne Haygood-Kane, DO, and Todd Bruno, MD, also on the Methodist Mansfield medical staff. The physicians are available to cover for community OB-GYN physicians during off hours or when they are unable to be at the hospital, as well.

Fly Pan Am is the eponymous debut album of Fly Pan Am. It was released in October 1999 by Constellation Records.

The album contains a re-recording of the song, "L'espace au sol est redessiné par d'immenses panneaux bleus", which was featured on a split single in 1998 with Godspeed You! Black Emperor.

The record also features strange use of instruments and cadence, as well as electronic noises, provided by guest musician Alexandre St-Onge, that abruptly intersect the music. Their second album, titled Ceux qui inventent n'ont jamais vécu (?), employs the same electronic dissonance, but to a higher degree.

Mount Martin Regional Botanic Park -there are many stands of the spectacular Albany Banksia. There are various walks around the botanic park where numerous varieties of wildflowers can be found including common donkey orchid, little kangaroo paw and late flowering pink bunny orchid.
Mt Martin Botanical Park provides a beautiful coastal setting for recreation and enjoyment of natural beauty. High vista points in the landscape offer outstanding views of Breaksea and Michaelmas islands, Albany's harbours and Torndirrup Peninsula.
The diverse landforms and soils found within this protected area support an exceptional botanical richness. The largest known stand of Albany's floral symbol 'Banksia', exists within the park which unfortunately is threatened by dieback.
This is a beautiful hike especially in Spring when the wildflowers are blooming. If you like hiking, love wildflowers take your camera, pack a picnic and enjoy. The end of the hike is on the white sand of the Emu Point channel.


You've just realized that your Prince Charming isn't so charming after all, and no matter how many times you beg him to change some of his bad habits, you merely get ignored. Ugh, how frustrating!
Unfortunately, as dating and relationship experts with over 30 years of experience in the Philadelphia dating scene, we know that no amount of begging or nagging is going to get him to change and become the Prince Charming that you long for.
Today, our Philadelphia matchmakers will reveal simple and effective tips to get him to change.
Sometimes getting your guy to change is similar to training a puppy. Using the reward method will ensure you get more of what you want and less of what you don't. When your puppy does a trick, you give him a treat, right? Well, you can do the same with your boyfriend. Just make sure the treat is in the form of something you know he loves, such as a burger or a full body massage. When he goes out of his way to do something you've been begging him to do for a while, rewarding him will encourage him to continue to do things that make you happy. Easy peasy.
No one likes to be told what to do and when to do it, so if you're giving him orders like a coach, it can lead to a lot of resentment. That's why it's best to treat your relationship like a partnership and make sure he knows that you're both on the same team. Avoid nagging him, and instead tackle your requests with a little bit of teamwork. If you want him to help out around the house more, suggest you both clean up your house together. You can turn it into a fun, weekly tradition. If he knows that you're with him and not against him, he might be more inclined to meet your demands. When you walk in the door from work, don't jump down his throat about all the things he didn't get done around the house this week.
We're not suggesting you go cold and start ignoring him altogether but limit your verbal communication so that he'll know something is up. Guys respond more when you pull away and withhold something from them. Bring your conversation to a screeching halt and he'll surely ask you what's wrong. That'll be your cue to respectfully bring up what he's doing wrong and what he needs to change to make you happy. He'll be more willing to listen because he'll be so happy that you're finally speaking to him again.
Word of warning: don't overdo it with this one, though. If you do it all the time and give him the silent treatment, it's going to make you look immature and make him feel resentful of you.
Getting a guy to change his bad habits is all about tweaking your approach. Let's say you want him to take his job more seriously so he can start climbing up the career ladder. Instead of putting him down and calling him lazy, send him career-focused articles from his line of work or buy him self-help books that will inspire him to be successful.
As every woman knows, getting a guy to change his ways isn't an easy feat. In fact, if you push too hard, you will completely push him away and lose your relationship. Encouragement and positive reinforcement are the way to go here.
If you're single and ready to meet relationship-minded singles in Philly, contact our Philadelphia matchmakers today and let us help you find true love. Let us introduce you to quality single men in Philadelphia who are fit to date and perfect for you!

Greg Olsen Fantasy Football News 2020
Olsen will play Week 16
Greg Olsen, TE CAR
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is set to return for Sunday's game against the Colts. It's possible that he cedes some work to TE Ian Thomas — and QB Will Grier adds more risk to Olsen's outlook. Consider him more of a TE2 for Week 16.
Olsen's Weekly Predictions >
View all Greg Olsen Shark Bites
Olsen clears protocol
Panthers TE Greg Olsen said Monday that he's cleared the concussion protocol. Barring a setback, he'll return for this weekend's game against the Colts. Olsen should step back in as Carolina's lead pass-catching TE and will be a low-end fantasy starter for Week 16.
Related Players Ian Thomas
Olsen out for Week 15
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. He returned to limited practices this week but remains in the protocol. That means another game as lead TE for Ian Thomas, who posted a 5-57-1 line on 10 targets with Olsen out last week. Thomas is a viable TE1 for Week 15.
Olsen still limited Thursday
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (concussion) was limited again on Thursday and remains in the concussion protocol, HC Ron Rivera said. We'll see how much progress he's able to make over the next 48 hours. Ian Thomas will be in the TE1 mix if Olsen misses Sunday's game against the Seahawks.
Olsen limited Wednesday
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (concussion) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to get full clearance ahead of this weekend's game against the Seahawks. We'll get another update tomorrow. Olsen's return would take TE Ian Thomas out of spot-start consideration.
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (concussion) is out for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He didn't practice all week and isn't a lock to return for Week 15. Ian Thomas will serve as Carolina's lead TE this weekend. He averaged 5.3 targets, 3.9 catches and 35.5 yards in the 9 games Olsen either missed or left early last year.
Olsen still out Thursday
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (concussion) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's not going to play against the Falcons this weekend, making TE Ian Thomas a spot-start option. Thomas averaged 3.9 catches and 35.5 yards in the 9 games Olsen either missed or left early last season.
Panthers fire Rivera
Christian McCaffrey, RB CAR
The Panthers have fired HC Ron Rivera. He's been with Carolina since 2011, compiling a 76-63-1 record with 4 playoff appearances. But the Panthers went 7-9 last year and are currently sitting at 5-7. Secondary coach Perry Fewell will take over as interim head coach, OC Norv Turner will move into an assistant role and QB coach Scott Turner will serve as OC for the final 4 games of the season. We're not expecting any tangible fantasy impacts from the moves.

Olsen in concussion protocol
Panthers HC Ron Rivera confirmed after Sunday's loss to the Redskins that TE Greg Olsen is in the concussion protocol. It's his 3rd documented concussion. We'll track Olsen's progress this coming week, but consider him no better than 50/50 for Week 14. Olsen's absence would leave lead TE duties to Ian Thomas, who averaged 3.9 catches and 35.5 yards in the 9 games Olsen missed all of most of last season.
Olsen goes for concussion test
Panthers TE Greg Olsen took a hit to the head in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game against the Redskins. He appeared to briefly lose consciousness but was eventually able to walk off the field. He's going for a concussion test. Stay tuned for an update.
Olsen active
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (back) is active for today's game against the Cardinals. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. Olsen is safe to keep in fantasy lineups vs. an Arizona defense that allowed a 6-131-1 line to T.J. Hockenson in Week 1 and an 8-112-1 to Mark Andrews last week.
Olsen will play Week 3
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Panthers TE Greg Olsen (back) will play against the Cardinals today. He's listed as questionable on the injury report but played -- and produced well -- through this injury last week. Olsen is a locked-in TE1 vs. an Arizona defense that's been shredded by TEs T.J. Hockenson and Mark Andrews so far.
Olsen questionable for Week 3
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. He played through this injury last Thursday night and practiced all this week. Olsen should be fine for Sunday and is a solid fantasy play vs. an Arizona defense that allowed a 6-131-1 line to T.J. Hockenson in Week 1 and an 8-112-1 to Mark Andrews last week.
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (back) is active for tonight's game against the Bucs. He got in a full practice on Wednesday, so the back shouldn't be a real concern. Olsen is in the low-end TE1 mix after seeing 9 targets in the opener.
Olsen expected to play tonight
ESPN's Ed Werder reports that Panthers TE Greg Olsen (back) is expected to play against the Bucs tonight. Olsen is listed as questionable but put in a full practice on Wednesday. HC Ron Rivera told Werder that he has "no concern" about Olsen. Although he posted just a 4-36 line in the opener, Olsen played 94% of the offensive snaps and saw 9 targets. He's a fine, low-end TE1 in Week 2 fantasy lineups.
Panthers TE Greg Olsen (back) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game against the Bucs. He didn't practice at all this week but said Tuesday that he "plans" to play. We'll find out his official status around 7 pm ET on Thursday. If Olsen can't go, TE Ian Thomas will be an intriguing spot starter. He racked up 27 targets, 20 catches, 200 yards and 2 TDs over last season's final 4 games, with Olsen sidelined.
Update: Olsen was listed as a full participant on Wednesday, so expect him to play.
Olsen dealing with back injury
Panthers TE Greg Olsen has missed practice on Monday and Tuesday with a back injury. He told reporters that he "plans to play" against the Bucs on Thursday night but seemed to stop short of guaranteeing it. We'll get another update on Olsen tomorrow.
Olsen: "I've been 100% for months"
Panthers TE Greg Olsen told reporters Wednesday that he's "been 100% for months" after last year's foot injuries. "I wasn't and am not restricted at all," he added. Olsen has missed 16 games over the past 2 seasons, breaking his right foot twice and rupturing the plantar fascia in that same foot. Even when he's been on the field, his production has been down. Olsen has averaged 9.2 PPR points in 12 full games over the last 2 years -- a mark that would have ranked 14th among TEs in 2018. We're curious to get a look at him in training camp and the preseason but aren't currently banking on him returning to TE1-level production. The good news is that Olsen is cheap in fantasy drafts, with an ADP in the 13th round. He's a fine shot at that price.
Olsen fully cleared
Panthers TE Greg Olsen has been fully cleared from his right foot trouble, he told reporters Wednesday. Olsen broke that foot in each of the past 2 seasons and ruptured the plantar fascia late last year. We'll see how the 34-year-old holds up the rest of this offseason. A healthy Olsen still has TE1 potential, but he should only be drafted as a bench stash at this point.
Olsen expects to miss rest of season
Panthers TE Greg Olsen told reporters after Sunday's loss that he ruptured the plantar fascia in his right foot and expects to miss the rest of the season. This is the same foot that Olsen has broken twice over the past 2 seasons, and he believes the latest injury was a result of trying to compensate for those previous breaks. Olsen's absence will leave Ian Thomas as Carolina's lead pass-catching TE the rest of the way. In the 3 games Olsen missed earlier this year, Thomas totaled 8 catches on 14 targets. He'll be a low-end spot-start option moving forward.

in the late 1940s the USAF Northrop YB-49 set both an unofficial endurance record and a trans-continental speed record?
"'40s" redirects here. For decades comprising years 40–49 of other centuries, see List of decades.
The 1940s was the decade that started on January 1, 1940 and ended on December 31, 1949.
The Second World War took place in the first half of the decade, which had a profound effect on most countries and people in Europe, Asia and elsewhere. The consequences of the war lingered well into the second half of the decade, with a war weary Europe divided between the jostling spheres of influence of the West and the Soviet Union. To some degree internal and external tensions in the post-war era were managed by new institutions, including the United Nations, the welfare state and the Bretton Woods system, providing to the post-World War II boom which lasted well into the 1970s. However the conditions of the post-war world encouraged decolonialisation and emergence of new states and governments, with India, Pakistan, Israel, Vietnam and others declaring independence, rarely without bloodshed. The decade also saw the early beginnings of new technologies (including computers, nuclear power and jet propulsion), often first developed in tandem with the war effort, and later adapted and improved upon in the post-war era.
The Holocaust also known as The Shoah (Hebrew: השואה, Latinized ha'shoah; Yiddish: חורבן, Latinized churben or hurban) is the term generally used to describe the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a program of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany, under Adolf Hitler, its allies, and collaborators. Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis' systematic murder of millions of people in other groups, including ethnic Poles, the Romani, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, people with disabilities, gay men, and political and religious opponents. By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims is between 11 million and 17 million people.
1948 Arab–Israeli War (1948 - 1949) - The war was fought between the newly declared State of Israel and its Arab neighbours. The war commenced upon the termination of the British Mandate of Palestine in mid-May 1948. After the Arab rejection of the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine (UN General Assembly Resolution 181) that would have created an Arab state and a Jewish state side by side, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria attacked the state of Israel. In its conclusion, Israel managed to defeat the Arab armies.

Some of Hollywood's most notable blockbuster films of the 1940s include: The Maltese Falcon directed by John Huston 1941, It's a Wonderful Life directed by Frank Capra 1946, Double Indemnity directed by Billy Wilder 1944, Meet Me in St. Louis directed by Vincente Minnelli 1944, Casablanca directed by Michael Curtiz 1942, Citizen Kane directed by Orson Welles 1941, The Big Sleep directed by Howard Hawks 1946, The Lady Eve directed by Preston Sturges 1941, The Shop Around the Corner directed by Ernst Lubitsch 1940, White Heat directed by Raoul Walsh 1949, Yankee Doodle Dandy directed by Michael Curtiz 1942, and Notorious directed by Alfred Hitchcock, 1946. The Walt Disney Studios released the animated feature films Pinocchio 1940, Dumbo 1941, Fantasia 1941, and Bambi 1942.
Although the 1940s was a decade dominated by World War II important and noteworthy films about a wide variety of subjects were made during that era. Hollywood was instrumental in producing dozens of classic films during the 1940s, several of which were about the war and some are on most lists of all-time great films. European cinema survived although obviously curtailed during wartime and yet many films of high quality were made in the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the Soviet Union and elsewhere in Europe. The Cinema of Japan also survived. Akira Kurosawa and other directors managed to produce significant films during the 40s.
In France during the war the tour de force Children of Paradise directed by Marcel Carné 1945, was shot in Nazi occupied Paris. Memorable films from Post-war England include David Lean's Great Expectations (1946) and Oliver Twist (1948), Carol Reed's Odd Man Out (1947) and The Third Man (1949), and Powell and Pressburger's A Matter of Life and Death (1946), Black Narcissus (1946) and The Red Shoes (1948), Laurence Olivier's Hamlet, the first non-American film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture and Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949) directed by Robert Hamer. Italian neorealism of the 1940s produced poignant movies made in post-war Italy. Roma, città aperta directed by Roberto Rossellini 1945, Sciuscià directed by Vittorio De Sica 1946, Paisà directed by Roberto Rossellini 1946, La terra trema directed by Luchino Visconti 1948, The Bicycle Thief directed by Vittorio De Sica 1948, and Bitter Rice directed by Giuseppe De Santis 1949, are some well-known examples.
In Japanese cinema The 47 Ronin is a 1941 black and white two-part Japanese film directed by Kenji Mizoguchi. The Men Who Tread on the Tiger's Tail 1945, and the post-war Drunken Angel 1948, and Stray Dog 1949, directed by Akira Kurosawa are considered important early works leading to his first masterpieces of the 1950s. Drunken Angel 1948, marked the beginning of the successful collaboration between Kurosawa and actor Toshirō Mifune that lasted until 1965.
The most popular music style during the 1940s was the swing which prevailed during the World War II.

During the 1940s Sporting events were disrupted and changed by the events that engaged and shaped the entire world. The 1940 and 1944 Olympic Games were cancelled because of World War II. During World War II in the United States Heavyweight Boxing Champion Joe Louis and numerous stars and performers from American baseball and other sports served in the armed forces until the end of the war. Among the baseball players (including well known stars) who served during World War II were Moe Berg, Joe Dimaggio, Bob Feller, Hank Greenberg, and Ted Williams. They like many others sacrificed their personal and valuable career time for the benefit and well being of the rest of society. The Summer Olympics were resumed in 1948 in London and the Winter games were held that year in St. Moritz Switzerland.
During the early 1940s World War II had an enormous impact on Major League Baseball as many players including many of the most successful stars joined the war effort. After the war many players returned to their teams; while the major event of the second half of the 1940s was the 1947 signing of Jackie Robinson to a major league players contract by Branch Rickey the general manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Signing Robinson opened the door to the integration of Baseball finally putting an end to the professional discrimination that had characterized the sport since the 19th century.
Ted Williams being sworn into the military on May 22, 1942.
During the mid-1930s and throughout the years leading up to the 1940s Joe Louis was an enormously popular Heavyweight boxer. In 1936 he lost an important 12 round fight (his first loss) to the German boxer Max Schmelling and he vowed to meet Schmelling once again in the ring. Louis's comeback bout against Schmelling became an international symbol of the struggle between the USA and democracy against Nazism and Fascism. When on June 22, 1938, Louis knocked Schmelling out in the first few seconds of the first round during their rematch at Yankee Stadium, his sensational comeback victory riveted the entire nation. Louis enlisted in the U.S. Army on January 10, 1942 in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Louis's cultural impact was felt well outside the ring. He is widely regarded as the first African American to achieve the status of a nationwide hero within the United States, and was also a focal point of anti-Nazi sentiment leading up to and during World War II.

The decade from 1940 to 1949.
The 1940s decade ran from 1940 to 1949.
World War II was a truly global conflict with many facets: immense human suffering, fierce indoctrination, and the use of new, extremely devastating weapons such as the atomic bomb. From top going counterclockwise: Allied landing on D-Day 1944, German soldiers marching, the Nagasaki atom bomb 1945, the Soviet flag over the Reichstag in Berlin 1945 and the Gate of Auschwitz.
The first half of the decade was dominated by World War II, the widest and most destructive armed conflict in human history. So consequential was this event and its brutal aftermath that it laid the foundation for other major world events and trends for decades to follow. This war was also the first modern civilian war.
The second half marked the beginning of the East-West conflict and the Cold War, together with major social upheaval caused by the destruction of the war, the large number of refugees, and soldiers returning home and demanding government recognition for their sacrifice, especially in colonies of European countries, many of which gained independence.
Josip Broz Tito, then president of Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia publicly speaks out against Soviet leader Stalin and Soviet imperialism, the only president to do so.
The first nuclear weapon is built and tested in 1945.
First cruise missile, the V-1 flying bomb (in 1940 or 1942), and the first ballistic missile, the V-2 rocket (kin 1942) are invented.
Colossus, the world's first totally electronic and digital computer is built in 1944.
Chuck Yeager, a U.S. Air Force pilot, breaks the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 rocket-powered aircraft in 1947.
Plutonium discovered in 1941 by Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, Dr. Michael Cefola, Edwin M. McMillan, J. W. Kennedy, and A. C. Wahl.
Muslim League's 1940 Lahore Resolution calls for an autonomous Muslim state, eventually leading the formation of Pakistan in the Partition of India.
Nazi Germany invades Denmark, Norway, Benelux, France, and the Soviet Union from 1940-1941.
The United States enter World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Germany and Japan suffer defeats at Stalingrad, El Alamein, and Midway in 1942 and 1943.
Subash Chandra Bose escapes from house-arrest and founds the INA in Singapore. The INA made of Indian POWs held by the Japanese accompanies the Japanese to the borders of India. However, Axis defeat results in the annihilation of the INA and suirrender following Nethaji's death in 1945.
Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (August 6 and August 9, 1945); Japan surrenders on August 15.
World War II officially ends on September 2, 1945.
In 1946, former British PM Winston S. Churchill gives his famous "Iron Curtain" speech with US President Harry S Truman present.
The Chinese Civil War ends in victory for the Communists in 1949. The Nationalists government retreat to Taiwan.
The Berlin blockade in 1948.
Soviets test their first nuclear bomb in 1949 (Soviet atomic bomb project). This is seen by some as the beginning of the Cold War.
There were many changes in film when it came to the 1940s. More women showed up in films, and better storylines and plots began to show up. This also lead into more women turning their interests toward fashion, or at least the women who could afford it. People who had exceptional riches often showed up in films, because they were the ones who actually watched them most regularly. Thus, people who were not rich viewed the films as an amazing treat.
Due to the difficult times, the number of models in shows was limited to seventy-five, evening wear was shortened and day wear was much skimpier, made using substitute materials whenever possible. From 1940 onward, no more than thirteen feet (four meters) of cloth was permitted to be used for a coat and a little over three feet (one meter) was all that allowed for a blouse. No belt could be over one and a half inches (four centimeters) wide. Despite this, haute couture tried to keep its flag flying. Humor and frivolity became a way of defying the occupying powers and couture somehow survived. Although some have argued that the reason it endured was because of the patronage of the wives of rich Nazis, in actuality, records reveal that, aside from the usual wealthy Parisiennes, it was the wives of foreign ambassadors, clients from the black market, and a whole eclectic mix of people who carried on to frequent the salons, among whom German women were but a minority.
In spite of the fact that so many fashion houses closed down or moved away during the war, several new houses remained open, including Jacques Fath, Maggy Rouff, Marcel Rochas, Jeanne Lafaurie, Nina Ricci, and Madeleine Vramant. During the Occupation, the only true way for a woman to flaunt her extravagance and add to color to a drab outfit was to wear a hat. In this period, hats were often made of scraps of material that would have otherwise been thrown away, sometimes incorporating butter muslin, bits of paper, and wood shavings. Among the most innovative milliners of the time were Pauline Adam, Simone Naudet, Rose Valois, and Le Monnier.
Paris's isolated situation in the 1940s enabled the Americans to exploit the ingenuity and creativity of their own designers. During the Second World War, Vera Maxwell presented co-ordinates in plain, simply cut outfits and also introduced innovations to men's work clothes. Bonnie Cashin transformed boots into a major fashion accessory, and, in 1944, started to produce original and imaginative sportswear. Claire McCardell, Anne Klein, and Tina Leser formed a remarkable trio of women who were to lay the foundations of American sportswear, ensuring that ready-to-wear was not simply thought of as second best, but as an elegant and comfortable way for modern women to dress.
The couturier Christian Dior created a tidal wave with his first collection in February 1947. The collection contained dresses with tiny waists, majestic busts, and full skirts swelling out beneath small bodices, in a manner very similar to the style of the Belle Époque. The extravagant use of fabric and the feminine elegance of the designs appealed greatly to a post-war clientèle and ensured Dior's meteoric rise to fame. The sheer sophistication of the style incited the all-powerful editor of the American Harper's Bazaar, Carmel Snow, to exclaim 'This is a new look !'.

A: In the '/api/add' route, you're calling both res.send() and res.json() on the same request.  That will cause the error you see about headers already sent.
Pick one or the other as you can only send one response for each http request.
In addition, you have asynchronous issues and a lack of error handler handling on the database call.  You need to nest the second block of code inside the database callback so they are sequenced appropriately and you need to actually send an error response if you get an error from your database.

A: Here you are using the two response in a api res.send() & res.json(), please send only one response for a request.
