Rob Stone (play-by-play), Dave Wannstedt (analyst), Kirk Morrison (analyst) and Petros Papadakis (sideline) will call the action for FS1 in college football's only game scheduled for Thursday. The game will also be carried on the LA Tech Sports Network with Dave Nitz (play-by-play), Teddy Allen (color) and Malcolm Butler (sideline) on the call.
The two teams were selected to win their respective divisions in Conference USA and both programs are receiving votes entering Thursday's game, albeit in different polls. The Amway Coaches Poll has one vote going to the Bulldogs while WKU is receiving three votes in the Associated Press Poll.
As easy as it is to look at the talent level of the 2015 teams, it is hard not to look back and see the effect the 2014 meeting of these two teams will have on the build up to Thursday's game. Last year, a Hilltopper team that was ranked in the top five nationally in passing offense, scoring offense and total offense visited Ruston and left with a 59-10 defeat at the hands of the Bulldogs.
"A lot of people have talked about the game a year ago, but those were the 2014 teams and not the 2015 teams," Louisiana Tech head coach Skip Holtz said Monday about Thursday's game. "I think they are much improved. I think Coach [Jeff] Brohm has done a great job with his team. They return nine starters on their defense. They replaced the two that left with two transfers from UAB who may be two of their better players with the defensive lineman and linebacker. I think the linebacker led them in tackles last week against Vanderbilt. They have a very, very talented football team and they are very experienced."
WKU's visit to Ruston last year not only marked their worst conference loss in program history but it also marked the last time the Hilltoppers lost a game. That winning streak, which tallied five straight to end the 2014 season, includes dramatic wins over Marshall and Central Michigan last season and win over Vanderbilt.
"We've got to take it and enjoy it tonight, but we've got a team coming … into Bowling Green that whooped us last year and embarrassed us," WKU sixth-year senior quarterback Brandon Doughty said Thursday after WKU's 14-12 win over the Commodores.
The Hilltoppers have made it clear that they are taking Louisiana Tech seriously, no matter what success they have achieved to date.
"This is a very good football team," WKU head coach Jeff Brohm said of the Bulldogs. "They beat us very badly last year. They're very talented. They present us a lot of problems on offense. They like to get after the quarterback, make him feel uncomfortable and give you a lot of different looks. We have to really do our homework and have a good plan and put our players in a position to succeed and hopefully they can go out and make plays."
The highlight on the field Thursday will undoubtedly be a match-up of two outstanding quarterbacks. WKU's Brandon Doughty is one of the most prolific passers in the country while Louisiana Tech's Jeff Driskel is quickly returning to his true form with a new sense of fun surrounding the game with the Bulldogs.
"You are going to have two really good quarterbacks playing in this game for sure," Holtz said of the premier quarterback battle taking place Thursday. "When you look at Brandon's [Doughty] perspective and Jeff's perspective, they are not playing each other. They are playing the defense. Right now, their work is to prepare for what they are going to be going against. From a media standpoint and a fan standpoint, it is two quarterbacks matched up playing against each other. I think it is two of the better quarterbacks in this conference and two of the better quarterbacks in the country. It ought to make for a very exciting game from a fan standpoint or for anyone that is going to watch it. I think it will create a lot of drama and atmosphere around this game. But for the two quarterbacks, they are going to be focused on the other side of the ball."
Thursday's game marks the first time Louisiana Tech will play "on The Hill" since the first meeting in the all-time series between the two programs in 1939.
The Bulldogs will be looking to keep alive and extend a streak of 10 consecutive games with an interception. LA Tech picked off Doughty four times in last year's meeting, almost half of his season total of 10 interceptions.
"We would like to do that every quarterback," LA Tech defensive coordinator Blake Baker said of his defense's goal of rattling the quarterback. "We have to cut off the head of the snake. We are not going to change that personality. That is one of our main five pillars is to rattle a quarterback. That will be the same every single week."
But the success of last year's game is fully in the past for Louisiana Tech. Despite being projected to win Conference USA's West Division the Bulldogs are approaching Thursday's game as the underdog, facing an uphill battle.
"When you look at what everyone is projecting, we're playing at their place on a short week where they've had a full week to prepare for this game," Holtz said Monday. "The experience they have coming back. The transfer players (from UAB) that are making a difference on their football team right now.
"We know we're kind of playing an uphill battle. Most people pick 'em to win this game. Most people pick them to win the conference. We realize going there we're an underdog in this situation."

KNOX – Move over boomers, parties have discovered millennials
Posted on September 22, 2019 in Knox, Local Voices, Page One // 0 Comments
WEEK ONE in federal election promises:
• Jagmeet Singh vowed to cap cellphone and Internet charges.
• Justin Trudeau announced breaks for first-time homeowners.
• Andrew Scheer dangled tax credits for transit users.
• Elizabeth May wants to cancel student debt over $10,000.
If somebody promises free avocado toast, it will be official: The politicians have discovered millennials. This, of course, will be disconcerting to older voters, who have long been used to elections being all about them, just as God — an elderly man like themselves — ordained.
But no, no, no, it seems what political parties actually do is aim their promises at the biggest blocs of voters, which has traditionally meant A) baby boomers and B) their parents, but today means the millennials who, by some calculations, now form the single largest cohort of Canadians (They're typically described as being born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s.)
That's why candidates who used to spend a disproportionate amount of time rattling on about things like health care, pensions, youth crime, their favourite episode of Murder She Wrote and why Chrysler never should have stopped making the slant six, now focus instead on housing affordability, the cost of child care, the brunch lineups at Jam, awkward Spice Girls references and whatever else they think might be of interest to people who weren't yet born when John Lennon died.
Sometimes the promises amount to little more than bribing Canadians with their own money, which ticks off the serious-minded among us. Such people get offended that the parties try to seduce us by waving shiny trinkets in front of our faces, distracting us instead of tackling what matters most — like the question of whether Felicity Huffman will get the Martha Stewart Suite in prison, or the awesomeness of this week's story about a New Zealander who, knowing he was about to be fired, went into his boss's office accompanied by an "emotional support clown" who at first made balloon animals and then, when it got to the part where the guy actually got canned, mimed crying.
Wait, no, what I meant to say is that what serious-minded voters really want candidates to focus on is climate change. In fact, if you ask Canadians to identify the biggest issues in this election, it's pretty much a long drop from A) the fear that we have just 10 years to come to grips with the end of the Earth as we know it, to B) cellphone fees. It's not as though there's a big wedge issue like Brexit in between. The problem is that if you go on social media you'll find a lot more certainty about how to deal with phone fees than climate change. It's easier for voters to wrap their heads around.
Maybe what vote-hungry candidates should zero in on is the demographic shift itself as millennials finally overtake baby boomers — a changing of the guard whose implications should make both cohorts squirm in discomfort.
This spring, Max Fawcett wrote a piece for The Walrus in which he noted that while we had almost seven taxpaying adults for every senior in 1972, that ratio will drop to just over three within the next decade.
That's a lot of extra weight on the shoulders of the remaining taxpayers, who must pay not only for the boomers' health-care and old-age benefits, but also the cost of providing them with grief counselling as they realize that they are no longer at the centre of the universe.
I mean, my generation fought no wars, endured no Depression, made no particularly onerous sacrifices, yet somehow — through a combination of raw numbers and good timing — inherited all the good jobs, relatively cheap houses and political power. Less-dominant generations were consigned to the periphery, where we fed them an unending diet of classic rock, MASH reruns and old Monty Python and Saturday Night Live routines.
And now, as the current election campaign shows, the power — and the burden — is shifting to the millennials. To them with failing hands we pass the torch, though they would probably prefer a fire extinguisher.

Q: Object.assign() a deep object I have a base object ProfileDialog which I am extending with Object.assign().
var ProfileDialog = function (containerObj) {
    this.init = function () {
        this.container = containerObj;
    };

    this.render = function () {
        let content = document.createElement('div');
        content.innerText = 'Dialog here';
        this.container.appendChild(content);
    };

    this.init();
    this.render();
};

Mixin:
var DialogMixin = function () {
    return {
        open: function () {
            this.container.style.display = 'block';
        },
        close: function () {
            this.container.style.display = 'none';
        }

    }
};

Now I do the assignment:
Object.assign(ProfileDialog.prototype, DialogMixin());
It works just fine, this context resolves fine in open and close methods.
But, when I put the mixin in a deeper structure, putting it inside actions property:
var DialogMixin = function () {
    return {
        actions: {
            open: function () {
                this.container.style.display = 'block';
            },
            close: function () {
                this.container.style.display = 'none';
            }
        }
    }
};

The context becomes actions object so the code breaks.
How do I properly extend the object with new methods when they are put in a deep structure?

A: The only thing i can think of is using bind to bind this.
So something like
var ProfileDialog = function (containerObj) {
    this.containerObj = containerObj;
};

var DialogMixin = function (newThis) {
    var obj = {
        actions: {
            open: function () {
                console.log('open', this, this.containerObj.style);
            }
        }
    }
    obj.actions.open = obj.actions.open.bind(newThis);
    return obj;
};

var container = {
    style : 'some style'
};
var dialog = new ProfileDialog(container);
var mixinDialog = Object.assign(dialog, DialogMixin(dialog));

mixinDialog.actions.open();

China's environmental protection authority says several factories continued to operate illegally after inspectors had closed them down.
China's environmental watchdog has the power to close factories, but its authority is apparently easy to ignore after inspectors leave.
The Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) recently discovered that several factories shut down for "serious" violations of environmental standards had nevertheless resumed operations. Though inspectors sealed the facilities and seized equipment, subsequent checks found that some of the companies had disregarded the ministry's instructions by continuing to operate, it said in a statement Tuesday.
A lime processing plant on the outskirts of Beijing was sealed during a previous check for not meeting pollution treatment standards and even had its equipment seized, but the ministry said there were "obvious signs" of continued use during its recent inspection. Some half-dozen companies in Hebei and Shandong provinces had also tampered with the inspectors' efforts to seal off the premises and resumed unauthorized operation.
The transgressions were discovered during spot checks that the MEP teams had recently conducted in Beijing, Hebei, and Shandong. In its statement, the ministry said more than half of the businesses inspected — 285 out of 450 — were not adhering to pollution standards and operational criteria. While some companies had not conformed to industrial policy, or had started operating before their environmental impact assessment report was approved, others lacked proper pollution control facilities, according to the MEP.
In recent years, the Chinese government has made concerted efforts to combat environmental pollution, with varying degrees of success. Air quality in cities like Beijing has seen modest improvement — though smog levels still spiked during the most recent winter. Soil and water pollution from industrial waste are also continuously returning problems. Ponds of polluted water were recently discovered in northern China that together were the size of several dozen soccer fields.
In late 2015, the MEP began conducting impromptu spot checks on companies and local governments. In the first quarter of 2017, MEP inspectors found more than 3,000 cases of environmental violations. Other pollution reduction tactics have included naming and shaming cities and companies that fail to comply with environmental standards.
Lately, China has also imposed hefty fines on companies that exceed pollution standards. In a landmark public interest case last year, a Chinese court slammed a glass factory in Shandong with a nearly 22 million yuan ($3.2 million) fine for excessive emissions. In Beijing, authorities filed more than 13,000 pollution-related cases, imposing over 150 million yuan in fines in 2016.
But amid China's ambitious plans to tackle pollution, authorities have faced resistance on the local level. Earlier this week, a company in Shandong locked an MEP inspection team inside its factory, and in a separate incident, workers at a factory in Hebei forcibly confiscated the identification cards of environment officials, obstructing them from performing their duties.
Dong Liansai, a climate and energy campaigner at Greenpeace East Asia, said the MEP's inspection teams are a short-term remedy when it comes to keeping pollution in check. "In long term, revision on regulations and policies — including the pollution discharge permit system and revision on major environmental laws — will have more impact," he told Sixth Tone.

Angerberg ist eine Gemeinde mit  Einwohnern (Stand ) im Bezirk Kufstein in Österreich. Die Gemeinde liegt im Gerichtsbezirk Rattenberg.

Geografie

Die Gemeinde Angerberg liegt oberhalb des Verkehrsknotenpunktes Wörgl am 18 km langen "Mittelgebirgsrücken", der zwischen der Brandenberger Ache und Niederbreitenbach verläuft. Im Norden Angerbergs befindet sich der Gebirgszug der Brandenberger Alpen mit dem Hundsalmjoch () als höchster Erhebung.

Gemeindegliederung

Das Gemeindegebiet umfasst folgende drei Ortschaften (in Klammern Einwohnerzahl Stand ):

 Achleit ()
 Angerberg ()
 Embach ()

Nachbargemeinden

Geologie
Die Gemeinde Angerberg umfasst einen Gutteil des Plateaus nördlich des Inns sowie den Südteil der Kalkalpen mit dem Gebiet Buchacker bis Hundalm. Das Plateau von Angerberg besteht im Wesentlichen aus Kiesen, Sanden und Schluffen des Quartärs, die auf einem Sockel aus tertiären Gesteinen liegen. Zu letzteren gehören die "Unterangerberg-Schichten", für die die Gemeinde Angerberg die Typlokalität darstellt. Es handelt sich um Sandsteine und Mergel, die im oberen Oligozän abgelagert wurden.

Eine Attraktion der Gemeinde ist die Hundalm-Eis- und Tropfsteinhöhle.

Das Landschaftsbild Angerbergs ist durch den häufigen Wechsel von Wald und offener Landschaft geprägt. Zahlreiche Einzelgehöfte, Weiler und Siedlungen liegen eingestreut auf diesen Flächen. Die landwirtschaftliche Nutzung findet auf den gerodeten Flächen innerhalb der Waldgebiete statt.

Flächennutzung

Natur- und kulturräumliche Gliederung

Die Gemeinde Angerberg lässt sich in folgende landschaftsräumliche Einheiten aufteilen:
 Embach
Dieser nördliche Rand des Gemeindegebietes ist charakterisiert durch einen leicht reliefierten Geländerücken. An diesen grenzen im Norden die Bergrücken der "Innerberge" und des "Schrecken". Im Süden schließt der stark vernässte Talboden des Mossbachtales an und weiters ein bewaldeter Hangrücken bis hinauf zu "Angerberg-Mitte". Der Bereich "Embach" ist durch den vorgelagerten Mittelgebirgsrücken vom intensiv genutzten Inntal völlig abgeschirmt. Die für Angerberg typische bajuwarische Besiedlungsform (zentrale Hofstelle inmitten gerodeter Fläche) fehlt hier. Wesentliche Elemente des Landschaftsraumes sind die von Nord nach Süd durchlaufenden Bäche (Moosbach, Wiesbach), welche in zum Großteil noch mit typischer Begleitvegetation gesäumt sind.

 Angerberg-Mitte
Der stark reliefierte, breite Geländerücken, welcher sich von West nach Ost auf einer Länge von etwa vier Kilometern erstreckt, kennzeichnet diesen Bereich. Die bajuwarische Siedlungsform ist hier vorherrschend und damit ein ständiger Wechsel zwischen bewaldetem Gebiet und offenen Wiesenflächen. Die Hofstellen sind meist zentral in den gerodeten, landwirtschaftlichen Flächen angelegt. Der zentrale Siedlungsbereich liegt am östlichen Rand des Gemeindezentrums und umfasst die Ortsteile Linden, Baumgarten und Unholzen. Als Dorfzentrum kann Linden aufgrund zahlreicher Einrichtungen angesehen werden (Gemeindeamt, Volksschule, Erwachsenenschule, Musikschule, Kindergarten, Bücherei, Bankfiliale, Lebensmittelgeschäft, Recycling-Hof und Kapelle).

 Achleit
Der in das Inntal reichende Hangrücken Achleit bildet den dritten Landschaftsraum. Ebenso wie der Bereich Angerberg-Mitte kennzeichnet der Wechsel zwischen Wald- und Wiesenflächen und die typische Besiedlungsform das Gebiet.

Klima
Das Gemeindegebiet liegt im Einflussbereich der Nordstaulage der Alpen. Dies bedingt Niederschlagsmengen von etwa 1150 mm pro Jahr, die deutlich über jenen der inneralpinen Trockentäler liegen. Die meisten Regentage, aber auch die meisten Sonnenstunden am Tag verzeichnet Angerberg wie auch die umliegenden Gemeinden in den Monaten von April bis September. Höchstwerte: 19 Regentage in den Monaten Juni und Juli, 7 Sonnenstunden im Juli.

Geschichte

Untersuchungen an Pollenkörnern, die aus Moor-Ablagerungen des Lindenmooses gewonnen wurden, haben gezeigt, dass menschliche Präsenz im Gebiet des Angerberges mindestens seit der frühen Bronzezeit durch Rodungstätigkeit nachgewiesen ist.

In der Antike führte über den Angerberg die Römerstraße. Im 8. Jahrhundert wurde das untere Inntal und damit wahrscheinlich auch der Angerberg besiedelt. Die Formen der Rodungen, die denen im Münchner Forst gleichen, weisen auf eine bajuwarische Besiedlung hin.

Erwähnungen einzelner Höfe finden sich erst im 12. Jahrhundert. Aufgrund der witterungsbedingten Lage, kann von einer vergleichsweise guten wirtschaftlichen Situation ausgegangen werden. Das Salbuch des Rattenberger Richters aus dem Jahre 1416 zählt 21 Höfe im heutigen Gemeindegebiet auf.

Heute ist Angerberg eine ländlich geprägte, begehrte Wohngemeinde. Von den 590 Gebäuden in der Gemeinde dienen 96 % als Wohngebäude; 88 % der Erwerbstätigen aus Angerberg sind Auspendler.

Namensherkunft
Angerberg setzte sich ursprünglich aus weit verstreuten Weilern sowie Einzelhöfen zusammen. Seine erste urkundliche Erwähnung findet Angerberg 1190 anlässlich einer Schenkung an das Kloster Baumburg als Anægahterberch. Bei der Bestätigung dieser Schenkung durch Papst Coelestin III. 1195 lautet die Schreibweise Anegaterperge. Zweifelsfrei leitet sich der Name Angerberg von der Nachbargemeinde Angath ab. Im Mittelalter führte die Tiroler Hauptlandstraße über den Angerberg, worauf der Weilername "Straß" zurückzuführen ist.

Für die jetzige politische Gemeinde gibt es den Namen Angerberg seit 18. Dezember 1981. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt hieß die Gemeinde Unterangerberg. Über eine eigene Postleitzahl verfügt Angerberg mit "6320" seit 2008. Zuvor war die Gemeinde Teil des PLZ-Gebietes "6300" (Wörgl).

Bevölkerungsentwicklung
Die Einwohnerzahl der Gemeinde steigt seit den 1960er Jahren kontinuierlich:

Religion
Mit 94,2 % bekannt sich bei der Volkszählung 2001 der Großteil der Bevölkerung Angerbergs zur römisch-katholischen Kirche. Rund 2 % waren evangelisch und 2,5 % konfessionslos. Die Gemeinde verfügt über keine eigene Pfarrkirche und ist zusammen mit Mariastein Teil der Pfarre Angath-Angerberg-Mariastein. Heilige Messen werden samstags in der Schulhaus-Kapelle im Dorfzentrum gefeiert.

Kultur und Sehenswürdigkeiten

 Das Gemeindegebiet von Angerberg weist eine Vielzahl von Kapellen auf.

Wirtschaft und Infrastruktur

Tourismus
Angerberg ist Teil der Ferienregion Hohe Salve und bietet als Ausflugsziele die Hundalm Eis- und Tropfsteinhöhle. Der Wintertourismus profitiert von der Nähe zu den Schiregionen Hopfgarten und Itter.

Verkehr
Südlich des Inn verlaufen die Unterinntalbahn und die Inntal Autobahn A12.

Politik

Bürgermeister

Gemeinderat
Der Angerberger Gemeinderat besteht aus 13 Gemeinderäten:

Bis zur Gemeinderatswahl 1998 fiel Angerberg durch seine hohe politische Vielfalt von fünf Listen und zwei Parteien auf. In einer Gemeinde mit 1661 Einwohnern (Stand 1997) stellt dies eine große politische Besonderheit dar, zumal in vielen Dörfern des Bundeslandes Tirol politische Monokausalität vorherrschte.

Bereits 2004 sank die Zahl der politischen Gruppierungen auf vier Listen. So trat die bis 2004 zweitstärkste Liste, die Angerberger Einheitsliste, bei den Wahlen im selben Jahr nicht an.

Der Verlust des Pluralismus im Angerberger Gemeinderat verschärfte sich bei der Gemeinderatswahl im März 2010. Lediglich zwei der sieben Listen von 1998 traten zu dieser Wahl an. Sowohl die Angerberger Bürgerliste als auch die Liste Angerberger Zukunft stehen der ÖVP nahe. Weiters sank mit der Anzahl der Parteien und Listen auch die Zahl der Kandidaten für das auf kommunaler Ebene äußerst wichtige Amt des Bürgermeisters. Während im Jahr 1998 noch vier Kandidaten zur Auswahl standen, waren es im Jahr 2004 nur noch zwei. 2010 stand mit dem Amtsinhaber lediglich ein Kandidat zur Auswahl.

Wappen

Das Gemeindewappen wurde am 6. Juli 1972 verliehen und versinnbildlicht den Namen der Gemeinde. Es erinnert an das in Angerberg reich begüterte Kloster Frauenchiemsee, dessen Wappenfigur das heraldisch zu einem Kleeblatt stilisierte Seerosenblatt gewesen ist.
Blasonierung: Drei, von rechts unten nach links oben aufsteigende, silberne Kleeblätter auf grünem Grund.

People often think of the Internet of Things as being about smart thermostats, milk-ordering fridges and cheap beacons. This practical view obscures both the promise and the threat of IoT.
IoT is about adding sensors, logic and connectivity to anything imaginable. In an IoT world, so much data that could only be captured with significant human effort can now be easily gathered and quantified. With a small investment, almost anything bigger than a postage stamp can be located and observed. Large objects and more investment allow for many additional capabilities, which are amplified when the devices interact with other things in the IoT.
The complex set of tools and services that power modern digital experience often have content management systems at their core. This is a mixed blessing for CMS vendors. On the one hand, their solutions are tremendously important. On the other, they struggle to keep up with the sheer volume of solutions and services that their product must integrate with. The pressure to go to market often forces vendors to choose between suite-based approaches that lock customers in and duct tape integrations that work poorly.
IoT magnifies this problem. The fact that CMSs are key to digital experience means that IoT should be integrated with the CMS. But this will bring thousands of new potential integration points to the problem.
To capitalize on the promise of IoT, CMS vendors must adopt business and product strategies that make integration with new services, tools and technologies easy, predictable and robust. Those that don't will be left behind or forced into niche markets.
IoT will open up many possibilities for consumers in the coming years. In much the same way that smartphones reshaped not only what people thought possible, but also what they took for granted, IoT will dramatically change what people do, how they do it and what they expect. Over the next few years, we expect the use of IoT in digital experience to stand out most to consumers in the following ways.
IoT's main effect on consumers is that it will make previously exhausting and stressful interactions effortless. For example, sensors could tell customers how to best get from where they are to where they want to be -- from the front row of the rock concert back to the car, taking into account the actual, real time flow of people through the exits. In an airport, providing travelers with real time information would allow them to spend more time in a restaurant or store, or be less stressed out when they arrive at the gate.
Once customers are used to being served faster and in a more personal manner, expectations will increase. For instance, once you're used to instantly being served your favorite dish at your local café (because a smart device provides it as a shortcut to your order), you won't be so happy about waiting anymore.
A washing machine that senses the amount of laundry and how dirty it is can automatically adjust the detergent and cycles needed. The consumer won't notice the process, but it'll save them time, money and energy. The machine can also contact the customer once it's done -- another time saver.
The flip side of the IoT medal is that it has unintended consequences, just like every big change in technology. By its nature, it is intrusive and comes with many privacy and legal concerns. Ultimately, IoT is bound to lead to ubiquitous surveillance -- just think of the disturbing case of a website streaming from hundreds of thousands of security cameras.
No matter the promise of IoT for consumers, it has a lot of potential for the bizarre -- especially early on in the IoT-enhanced digital experience. The potential ranges from comically misguided (such as bad personalization) to the genuinely life-threatening (such as providing incorrect location data at a critical point). We also expect to see the proliferation of IoT-enabled chindōgu -- does anybody need a connected egg tray?
Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of how the Internet of Things will affect different stakeholders.

Flag News, Flags, History, World Flags
The Crosses of Saint George, Saint Andrew and Saint Patrick unite to form the Union Flag or Union Jack of the United Kingdom.
Vexillologists, scholars and enthusiasts who study flags, get very picky as they endeavor to be strictly accurate in describing flags. Sometimes they get too carried away and magnifying a small detail causes them to miss the larger picture. The name of Britain's flag is one such issue.
The flag of the United Kingdom is a combination of three flag each bearing a cross symbolizing one of the three kingdoms which constitute the British nation. A white flag with a red cross, known as the Cross of Saint George, represents England; a blue flag with a white X-shaped cross, known as the Cross of Saint Andrew, stands for Scotland; and a white flag with a red X-shaped cross, called the Cross of Saint Patrick, has become recognized as the symbol of Ireland. Sandwich the three flags together and they form the Union flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Formally, the flag is known as the Union Flag, but for centuries it has been popularly known as the Union Jack.
If "Union Jack" were merely a nickname, like Old Glory, the Star-Spangled Banner, and the Stars and Stripes are nicknames for the United States flag, its popular use should be understandable and acceptable. There is something familiar and charming about referring to this historic banner as the Union Jack. Certainly veterans who have defended the U.K. feel they have the right to address their flag in familiar terms. As in fact do many other subjects of the Queen.
Flying on the Jack Staff at the prow of a ship, the Union Flag is known as a Jack.
Nevertheless, some have insisted that the term Union Jack refers only to a special nautical flag flown on the jack staff at the bow of ships. The term jack refers to these specific maritime flags not only in Britain, but in nations around the world. In the United States, for example, the jack is the union of stars displayed without the field of thirteen red and white stripes. So, in that sense the U.S. jack could also be called a "Union Jack," but it is simply call the United State Jack. Jacks flown by other nations may not necessarily be a union device, but some other design adopted to be flown on the jack staff of their ships.
Still, call the U.K.'s flag the Union Jack, and a vexillologist could be quick to point out that on land the flag was to be called the Union Flag, and it could only be called the Union Jack when displayed on the jack staff of a vessel. I must admit that I have often avoided using the term "Union Jack" just to avoid the debate.
Now, however, Graham Bartram has come to the rescue. Bartram is the Chief Vexillologist of Britain's Flag Institute. Having made a careful and exhaustive study of the question, Bartram has determined that the term Union Jack has been used historically to describe the Union Flag whether flown on land or as a jack aboard a ship. So, vexillologists and other flag enthusiasts can relax as either name is perfectly correct. O.K., so if it is flown on a jack staff it is correctly termed a jack, but the design of the jack is, yes indeed, the Union Flag.
So, three cheers for the Union Jack. It is after all an ancestor of our own Stars and Stripes. We inherited our national colors of red white and blue and the concept of a union flag from the Union Jack, and that should give Americans the right to call the flag by its familiar name. Three cheers for the Union Flag sounds too formal and stuffy anyway.

I am super excited to share with you all this blog post on the Skinny Bakery. I am so grateful that they sent some amazing treats over to me and since I have been posting on Twitter and InstaStories raving about their brand, I thought I would write a review as I have had so many of you message me to ask what they taste like.
Skinny Bakery emailed me to say that my parcel had been sent and I should receive it the day after. I was so giddy when it arrived, I couldn't wait to open the box to find out what goodies were in there – they all looked incredible. As you all know I have been working out at the gym and trying to eat super healthy, changing my lifestyle for the better. That doesn't mean I don't allow myself some treats from time to time (as we all know I have a major sweet tooth). The good news with the Skinny Bakery is that they are low in fat and calories, so this is a major plus for me. The content and ingredients are all labelled on the packaging and on the website if you did want some more information on this.
If you follow me on my social media channels, you will know that I am obsessed with the red velvet cake and was super eager to try it and with ingredients such as beetroot sponge and low fat cream cheese, I knew this would be my favourite in the box. They were delicious, as were all of the others. There are so many options on the website and if you did want to order a variety (I mean why wouldn't you) you can always freeze them for up to 5 months if you wanted to save some for a later date.
I love the story of the founder Mariella Forte – she started her business being inspired by Skinny Latte's and worked endlessly to create delicious cakes with a fraction of the calories. I must admit at first I did wonder what they would taste like, with ingredients such as tofu, beetroot and sweet potato and if they would taste as good as they looked. I shouldn't have worried as they were incredible. I enjoyed each and every one of them, as did my fiancé. His favourite was the carrot cake pearls. They also do vegan and gluten free options which is a major plus.
The Skinny Bakery are going to be huge with clients such as Little Mix, Yasmin Le Bon and Dita Von Teese. I know I keep saying this but I am blown away by how good these treats taste and the fact they are low in fat and calories is just what I needed, now that I am on my health-kick.
I am so thankful to the Skinny Bakery for sending me these delicious treats and as always guys, this is my honest review of the brand. Do yourself a favour and put in an order of your favourite treats, I promise you'll enjoy them.
Comment down below if you have tried them before or if you are intrigued and are heading over there right now to place your order.


Don't hold back, honey. Tell us what you really think!
UPDATE: I just replanted 20 new bulbs. Here's why I'm not an idiot: I put a rock border around the bulbs this time and drove two 2 foot steel steaks into the ground. If that b@stage tried to mow them over, he's gonna have a fun time moving all the rocks and steaks first. I'm guessing he's to freaking lazy to get off the riding mower.
I get that you're upset, but you know that person is probably paid minimum wage, which frankly is not enough to give a sh*t.
Boss: Go to the following addresses and mow the yards.
Boss: You're not paid to think, just mow that d*mn lawn!
Also, not everyone likes lilies. I'm always annoyed when I move in somewhere and have to spend time digging out the bulbs, which somehow no matter how many I dig up, always seem to come back.
If minimum wage isn't enough to give a sh*t, perhaps we demand that the US government stop mandating it and let the market tell us who wants to work for what wages, because personally, I wouldn't pay that jerkmuppet a cent for the "work" he charged the City for.
Regardless, I'm quite certain that it's a government contracted lawn service. We went through this kind of stupidity last year. They don't call and ask questions. They don't care enough, but I can appreciate your optimism.
I think I mentioned that the grass wasn't high enough to mow, so as you can see, these are the same kind of jerks who paint right over the dead animals on the road, saying, 'not my job'.
There just is no rational excuse for that behaviour.
WOW...I'm glad it wasn't me on the mower.
This kind of thing drives me around the bend. Last summer a neighbor "helped" us by weeding the front bed of all the coral bells I'd just planted. What you did was wonderful - I'm sorry someone ruined it.
Economic (monetary) reimbursement is not enough - otherwise we would pay students for grades and pay voters for voting -- wait a minute!
'Minimum wage' created a whole class of pissed off workers, and slaves to government ideology.
You do what you can to the glory of god - or your own self-image! Pay comes along.
The Mrs and Master sacrificed to help.
And we get excuses from the bums in the crowd.
Actually I'm not sure what gives you the right to plant in someone else's backyard without their permission. I understand it's a nice gesture but it isn't your house.
What gives me the right is that we HAVE the owner's permission. We have the full backing of the City Housing Development, Code Enforcement, and the City of Covington, and after all, it's THEIR house.
They just hired a moron, that's all.
And, several months later... they paved over the whole thing anyway.


A heat wave has hit NYC this week and truthfully -- I love it! I've been BBQing and cocktailin' all week. Today I'm sharing my favorite recipe for Grilled Flank Steak with Chimmi Churri sauce. The zingy chimi churri sauce against the flavorful flank steak is the perfect back drop for a cool crisp Corona. The marinade doubles as the sauce in this recipe - one less mess, yee- ha!


Last September William Farrell, along with many of his neighbors in the Patura Gardens subdivision, asked the Plattekill Town Board for an update on their neighborhood, which they contend has been abandoned by the developer. Farrell returned once again to the Town Board last week seeking answers concerning the half-built community where he lives.
Farrell said nothing has been done by the developer to complete the work in nearly two years. The subdivision is lacking a final topcoat of asphalt on the road and needs drainage ditches cleared of weeds, debris and small diameter trees. In addition many of the un-built lots are overgrown with brush and have large piles of dirt scattered across them. Farrell asked if the $600,000 Letter of Credit is still "viable." Loertscher said he had called the bank asking for an update on the Letter of Credit.
"I had issues of trying to get into the bank due to privacy issues," he said.
Farrell, who is in the construction business, said if the subdivision eventually becomes the town's responsibility the cost to the taxpayers may be quite significant.
"If you see the way the neighborhood was left, it's a mess, and this guy [developer] walks away," he said.
Loertscher said he would call the developer again to which Farrell repeated "We have no faith in the developer, whatsoever."
Jaffee also thought it futile to pursue the developer, based on his track record.
"Why are we still calling the developer?" he asked Loertscher. "I remember talking about this last year and pulling the Letter of Credit. What happened to that?"
Loertscher implied that pulling the Letter was not a simple matter, but Jaffee reminded him that the town did exactly that on two other projects in the past.
Farrell said the town should take the lead.
"The town should ask the developer what they've done, not in the last 6 months but in the last two years. Name one thing. It's nothing," Farrell said. "You can pull that [Letter of Credit] in 24 hours.
Call up the bond company and tell them we're pulling it. I don't understand why it's not being done. There is a Letter of Credit somewhere. It is not a matter of asking, it's a matter of notifying. I guarantee if you call the company holding that, something is going to happen."
Loertscher continued to insist there are privacy issues - "It's a bad situation."
Councilman Joe Croce said compounding the issue is that a long and confusing paper trail has been left by these developers. "But there should be a line," he agreed.
Farrell said it is hard for him to justify paying $1,000 in highway taxes each year when his development "has no signs, no lights and we don't get any snowplowing."
Loertscher admitted later in the meting that he was unsure of the date listed on the Line of Credit but "believes" the name of a former Town Supervisor is on that document. Loertscher continued to stress that the bank is the roadblock on this issue.
Loertscher said that before a Letter of Credit can be pulled 51 percent of the lots must be sold, adding that he believes this particular 45 lot subdivision has only 20 homes that are presently completed.
In a subsequent interview Farrell disagreed with Loertscher, saying that pulling a Letter of Credit is not contingent upon how many homes a developer builds.
"It could be two or 20," he said.
Farrell pointed out that a second road from the development out to Freetown Road was also never constructed by the developer.
Farrell said that if he finds out the Letter of Credit has expired, especially in light of his continued inquiries with Loertscher during the last 2 years, "you're going to find one upset Irishman at the next Town Board meeting."
Farrell said he has tried to be proactive in this situation and seek a solution in order to avoid a worst case scenario of it "falling into the town's lap."
"It would be an absolute shame if that Letter of Credit has been allowed to lapse," he said.
Loertscher did not return several calls seeking comment on this subdivision's Letter of Credit for this story.


We checked in. Everyone was friendly. Room was clean. Breakfast was yummy and filling. We were very satisfied.
Great hotel. Newly renovated. Great breakfast in the morning. Located close but far enough away from all the sights. We would definitely stay here again.
Everything was great. Clean and comfortable room, good night sleep, refreshing shower, and fair prices. Thank you for a nice stay.
I booked the hotel last minute for a business trip and it was a great stay. Check in was easy and fast. The continental breakfast was excellent - fresh eggs, fresh fruits, plenty of pastries, and great varieties of teas/juices/coffee. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were too soft for my liking. Room was spacious and clean and I was impressed by how many extra towels they provided! The gym was pretty good for a small hotel - good cardio machines but the weight machine needs updating (cables would catch with 2-4 plates). The local neighborhood was safe (business parks) and good local restaurants to eat at. I didn't eat at the Chili's in the same parking lot as the hotel - I chose to eat at other local eateries instead.


As part of commemorative activities for the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta, the New Zealand Law Society Library in Christchurch had a small display of texts relating to the Magna Carta, from the Library's collection. Coke's Institutes (1796) is the earliest text on display; Magna Carta uncovered by Anthony Arlidge & Igor Judge (2014), the most recent. The framed copy of the Magna Carta is a reproduction of one of the 'original' copies held by the British Museum.
