The Order by John-Patrick Bayle Review
The discovery of a mysterious manuscript puts a novice monk into the perilous journey none would have seen coming in author John-Patrick Bayle's "The Order".
1513, France -An ancient origin. A secret society. A long anticipated birth has come to pass. The news spreads in a hushed wave throughout the world. It has begun.Armies move while nations sleep, and one of human history's greatest movements teeters on the edge of collapse. The Order is a gripping tale of deception, secrecy, cruelty, and a man whose faith stands firm in the face of it all.
The pacing and tone of the narrative were so well balanced. The way author was able to capture the atmosphere and behavior of the monks early into the story while infusing mystery and intrigue to keep the stakes of the mission alive. The tension that the author infused into the narrative was felt heavily in the story, as the brotherhood that the author established early on took some twists that made the protagonist force himself to view the world a bit more warily, while also struggling with his views and trusting nature.
The two biggest things that stood out to me in this narrative were the wealth of character development and the brilliant infusion of history into the story. The way in which the protagonist relates to these characters and must traverse this shadowy world and organization within such a turbulent point in the 16th century was so captivating to read. The emotions that this character underwent on this transformative journey only added more depth to the action and battles that the narrative took later on in the story.
Memorable, entertaining, and hauntingly intriguing historical fiction, author John-Patrick Bayle's "The Order" is a must-read novel! The fantastic blend of mystery and history is always such a plus for me as a reader and the engaging way the author delved into the man underneath the monk's hood and the hood's representation as a whole during this chaotic time period while also uncovering the mysteries of the narrative made for a story that could not be put down.

If you've got a small bump or bit of dry skin, do you leave it alone or are you someone who just can't help but obsessively pick at it?
Do you often have an irresistible urge to pick at your skin?
If you can't stop picking and it's interfering with your life, you may have skin picking disorder.
Excessive skin picking has been discussed in medical literature for more than a century, but it is just now being given consideration as a psychiatric condition in discussions for the new diagnostic manual.
In the past it has often been thought of as a variant of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but now it seems it may be something quite separate.
Individuals with skin picking disorder—repeatedly pick at their skin until it bleeds; have likely attempted to reduce or stop picking more than once, and are distressed by the behaviour.
People with this condition often spend several hours every day picking at their skin.
Situations that trigger picking are different for every person but can include stress, anxiety, boredom, fatigue or anger.
Picking can also be triggered by the feel or look of the skin.
Often, the individual doesn't notice picking at first, but becomes aware of it when the spot begins to bleed or when someone else notices the behaviour.
Although it can range in severity, the picking can cause social embarrassment and interruption to work and life obligations as well as tissue damage, scarring and sometimes serious infection.
They may not want to leave the house because of embarrassment about their appearance.
Skin picking disorder can begin at any time in life, but looks the same in all age groups and across cultures.
It affects between 1.4 and 5.4 per cent of people.
It is typically a chronic lifelong issue that may wax and wane in its severity, but generally changes little over time.
It is quite rare for individuals with skin picking issues to seek treatment.
It is estimated that less than 20 per cent of those with this condition seek help. Although it hasn't been named as a specific disorder in the past, there are some viable treatment options that can be quite helpful for those struggling with the urge to pick.
As with many bad habits or even other more serious grooming disorders such as the hair pulling of trichotillomania, cognitive behaviour therapy can be helpful in decreasing skin picking.
Some medication studies have also been done to examine pharmacological help for those with skin picking issues.
Serotonin reuptake inhibitors have had mixed results to date.
The research data base for treatment of any type is quite slim. Much more research is needed into the treatment of this disorder.

A sticky, parched sensation in the mouth and throat. Some patients describe this as a "cottony" feeling.
Difficulty speaking or swallowing food.
Sores or tender spots in the mouth or on the lips.
Make an appointment to see your dentist if you notice any of these warning signs. Potential causes of the problem include side effects of certain medications, such as antidepressants or high blood pressure pills; diseases such as type II diabetes; nerve problems due to head or neck injury; and side effects of chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Keep a glass of water or other non-caffeinated beverage handy and sip on it throughout the day. Avoid using soda or alcoholic beverages for this purpose, as they can sometimes worsen dry mouth symptoms.
Use a humidifier. Sometimes dry mouth is a result of dry air. This is especially likely during the winter, when hot, dry air circulates throughout homes and workplaces.
Use sugarless gums or mints. Try to keep these in your mouth for as long as possible instead of popping one after the other.
Sometimes dry mouth is caused by emotional tension or unease.
Brush your teeth 2-3 times a day using a soft bristle toothbrush and a toothpaste that contains fluoride. Look for products with the ADA seal of acceptance on the packaging.
Floss at least once per day. Flossing removes food particles and other potential sources of plaque and tartar.
Stay away from all forms of tobacco and vaping products. Both can curtail saliva production, causing dry mouth and putting you at risk for cavities and other oral health conditions.
Dealing with dry mouth is something that most of us will face from time to time. The tips in this post can help you to manage the problem until you get professional care. Following your dentist's advice is a great way to lay the foundation for a happy and healthy 2019. We wish you and yours lots of happy smiles in the days and years to come.

… and they speak a different language there. From a Pacific Historical Review article of 1946 on war damage to France:
Military engineers restored the railroads and roads needed as supply lines for the advancing Allied armies, but responsibility for the repair of shattered bridges and railroads which were not needed for military purposes was delegated to the French. It might just as well have been delegated to the Zulus.

Where do you stand on the so-called "hominid theory"?
January 29, 2010 in history and current events | by Neddy Merrill | 80 comments
Brian Leiter links this interesting article on Wheaton College written by Andrew Chignell (now an associate professor of philosophy at Cornell). It details some internal struggles over what constitutes doctrinal purity, and, in particular, how these divisions were handled under the administration of outgoing president Duane Litfin.
One of [Litfin's] first moves was to declare that Wheaton's longstanding "Statement of Faith" allowed too much interpretive wiggle-room on the question of Adam and Eve. Scientists were thus required to specify whether they (1) "reject the idea that Adam and Eve were created from pre-existing human-like creatures, or hominids"; (2) are neutral or "unsure" on the hominid theory; (3) affirm that "God gave a human spirit to a pair of pre-existing human-like creatures, or hominids"; or (4) deny the historicity of Adam and Eve and think of Genesis as a wholly "theological document." Options (3) and (4) were deemed inconsistent with ongoing employment. Those who affirmed (2) were given one year to change their view to (1), or else they too would be asked to seek employment elsewhere.
I know of Wheaton only because Robert Roberts used to be there and I've read some of his work on emotion, and so I had thought of it as a pretty serious place. On the other hand, an institution that can push out tenured faculty because of their endorsement of really plausible and well-supported views of human origins looks like a joke. (Worth noting that the president backed off on his demand that everyone endorse (1), but still.)

Shameful, self-promotional Howard Zinn death tie-in
January 27, 2010 in history and current events | by davenoon | 14 comments
Whatever we might offer on the merits of Zinn's signature work, I think we can all unite around the knowledge that it beats A Patriot's History of the United States like a rented, red-headed step-mule. I don't ordinarily have favorite paragraphs in anything I write — preferring instead to focus on paragraphs I hate slightly less than all the rest — this one was a lot of fun to produce:
Worse, in their chapters on recent U.S. history, the authors make claims that are not even remotely endorsed by the footnoted sources. In excoriating the Great Society, for instance, Schweikart and Allen observe that one "malignant result of AFDC's no-father policy was that it left inner-city black boys with no male role models" (p. 689). In support of this Gingrichian pronouncement, the authors cite a single 1989 study from Social Forces— an article that makes no mention of AFDC, inner-city black youth, or role models and indeed has almost nothing to do with the argument to which it is attached. In the same paragraph, we read further that after the 1960s, "gang leaders from Portland to Syracuse, from Kansas City to Palmdale, inducted thousands of impressionable young males into drug running, gun battles, and often death" (p. 689). For this dramatic observation, the authors rely on two broad studies of family structure and drug use, each published eight years apart in the Journal of Marriage and the Family. Among the phrases that do not appear in either study: "Gang leaders," "Portland," "Syracuse," "Kansas City," "Palmdale," "impressionable young males," "drug running," "gun battles," and "death." With little effort, this reviewer has identified nearly a dozen such cases in which the authors have tortured their sources to score points against social programs they oppose, political philosophies to which they object, or historical actors whom they do not like.
Wow, that was a shitty book.

Died today of a heart attack, aged 87. May he rest peacefully. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and many admirers. The old radical cutting his last class short to encourage his pupils to picket is a perfect picture for that obit, too.
Students often ask what I think of Zinn's People's History. I generally point them to Michael Kazin's great essay on Zinn's history, which—whatever you think of his politics or activism—is well worth your reading.1
1A quick search of the blog shows me I noted another of Kazin's great essays back when EotAW was young.

As we hear of the progress of the healthcare bill and the innovative rhetoric about a need for a spending cap, I am less reminded of any Roosevelts or Lincoln, and more of Grover Cleveland, the Great Non-Consecutive One, so brilliantly penciled in by Richard Hofstadter:
a taxpayer's dream, the ideal bourgeois statesman for his time: out of heartfelt conviction he gave to the interests what many a lesser politician might have sold them for a price. He was the flower of American political culture in the Gilded Age.
Granted, the current occupant is more svelte, but that too is in keeping with ideal bourgeois norms; they've just shifted.

This, written by Glenn Greenwald at Salon,
But the speech restrictions struck down by Citizens United do not only apply to Exxon and Halliburton; they also apply to non-profit advocacy corporations, such as, say, the ACLU and Planned Parenthood, as well as labor unions, which are genuinely burdened in their ability to express their views by these laws.
essentially translates as "We have a strange set-up where completely different things are nonetheless given the same legal label." The conclusion which Greenwald suggests (though he expresses misgivings) is the same which the Supreme Court recently arrived at: that the First Amendment makes unconstitutional restrictions on the use of money by corporations for political purposes.

Dear Football/Healthcare Jesus:
Lately, you seem to have forsaken me, and I'm just not sure I can take much more of this. So if it's not too much to ask, I'm hoping that you won't visit a Favre-Manning Super Bowl upon a nation that's already reeling. But if it's got to be one or the other, I suppose Vikings fans have suffered enough through the years. And even you, despite your infinite compassion, must see that Peyton Manning, whining Republican that he is, is an abomination. Also, while we're chatting, how about reminding the president that uplifting the poor and healing the sick is Godly work.
Thanks for your consideration,
p.s. If you hook me up this once, I promise to stop laying tefillin on airplanes.
The kids really are alright.*

What would Will Herberg say if he could know about this?
A religious Jew wearing a series of black boxes and leather straps called tefillin or phylacteries inadvertently set off a bomb scare on a US Airways flight to Kentucky.
The plane was diverted to Philadelphia.
A 17-year-old boy on Flight 3079 traveling from New York to Louisville was using tefillin boxes which are attached to the arm and forehead and contain prayer scrolls and have long leather straps which wrap around the arm, said Philadelphia police Lt. Frank Vanore.
"It's something that the average person is not going to see very often, if ever," FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver said.
Klaver, as the Forverts admits, is probably factually correct. But technically, it wasn't the religious Jew who set off the bomb scare, it was the pants-wetting pearl-clutcher who thought he was a "security situation."

I hadn't planned to say anything about the fate of health care reform until at least the beginning of next week, as I have the sense that it's impossible to know where things stand right now. Also, I'm completely exhausted by the whole story.
That said, I'm one of those spineless liberals who believes that the House needs to pass the Senate bill — or else. And if you agree, I think kevin is right: it's time to call your congressional representative. Which is what I just did a minute ago.
And having just gotten off the phone with Congressman Mike Thompson's office, I have no idea what to say. The person who initially fielded my call explained that the congressman "doesn't yet know if he'll vote for the Senate health care bill." "Um, really?" I said. "Didn't the House Democratic caucus meet this morning on this very question?" "Yes, but we're waiting to hear from leadership about our path forward." I then asked to speak to the staffer in charge of the congressman's health care portfolio and got very nearly the same answer. The staffer did, though, explain that the congressman is very eager to hear from constituents on this issue.
Well, okay then. The House switchboard is (202) 224-3121. But you'll have much better luck if you google your congressional representative and call his or her DC office directly. I urge you to be polite and supportive. It was clear from the staffer's pained tone that she was more upset about this issue than I am. Anyway, take a few minutes out of your day and make the call. You might feel better afterward.
Seriously, do me a favor — and after all I've done for you, why wouldn't you reciprocate this one time? — and please call your representative. Then convince two of your friends to do the same thing and then to have two more people call their representatives. What do we have to lose? Wait, don't answer that.
Shrill redux.
The day Obama got elected, Ari and I talked about his plans for office. There was EFCA and civil liberties and closure of Guantanamo and financial regulation and a properly Keynesian New Deal and an end to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and ponies and unicorns.
And I said, "Dude"—in my usually articulate way—"dude, if he can get me healthcare, all that other stuff can slide."
So, that's our bumper sticker up there, from summer 2008. It's not as if we didn't see this coming. But I mean to say, is there no spine? is there no message discipline?
We are, a smart man once said, "at a breaking point." We are, that smart man said, "We are the only advanced democracy on Earth – the only wealthy nation – that allows such hardships for millions of its people."
And, that smart man added,
Well the time for bickering is over. The time for games has passed. Now is the season for action. Now is when we must bring the best ideas of both parties together, and show the American people that we can still do what we were sent here to do. Now is the time to deliver on health care.
So all that was apparently baloney, there's no breaking point after all, the millions of uninsured can go suffer, because there are only 59 D votes in the Senate now, and because the notoriously pugnacious Barney Frank has decided those people aren't worth a fight.
Really, you're coming to us for advice?
January 20, 2010 in bad advice that should be ignored | by ari | 20 comments
A reader writes in with a rather depressing scenario and a question [editor's note: what follows has been edited to protect the innocent/add a sex scene for SEK]:
There are a number of folks here, young scholars and aging grad students like myself who are trying to figure out the ramifications of a difficult situation so I thought I'd ask.
Here's the deal: our American Studies [editor's note: at a venerable and outstanding public institution located in the center of the country, "the heartland"] department has been recommended for closure by an "independent task force". We're appealing of course, but in a climate where they've already added student fees and slashed TA positions right and left, I'm dubious about our prospects. Part of the reason I'm dubious is that some of the problems cited in the evaluation are indeed real problems [editor's note: including declining applications, lack of diversity, limited funding, high attrition, lengthy time to degree, and an iffy placement record].
Our situation, especially as it relates to similar situations in other disciplines, departments, and programs, raises questions about the rationalization of eduction in the humanities and, not to be too dramatic, the future of American Studies as a significant presence in US colleges and universities.
But for many of us here, the more pressing question is practical: how much is this going to devalue my degree in an already depressed and depressing academic job market? How will it play out in the committees evaluating my applications?
I am curious about what the people who manage and comment at EOTAW — which I value as a forum for the intertwined realistic and idealistic imperatives in academic life — have to say about any of this. Thanks in advance for your time.
My two cents? There's a lot going on here, issues that have implications for graduate programs throughout the humanities and parts of the social sciences. But I'm going to limit myself to the reader's core question: what will this mean for recent graduates of the program and for those students still in the pipeline there?
My guess, and it's only a guess, because I don't know enough about the job market in American Studies, is that closure of the program, on its own, won't necessarily mean much for these people — at least for those who can get clear of the wreckage. Hiring committees, assuming the program currently has a good reputation, will still look at applicants from this program as serious contenders for jobs. Some hiring committee members might even feel extra sympathy for these applicants. But as ever, the work will be the thing*. Graduates of this program who have written good or hot (or both) dissertations will probably do just fine — relatively speaking.
Still, there's another issue that troubles me. What's going to become of the faculty currently affiliated with this program? Will they be around after the program is defunct? Will they still be willing to write letters of recommendation for their students? These seem like important questions to me, as a disinterested or disappeared mentor or recommender can certainly scuttle a job-seeker's candidacy.
So? What do you think? What does the future hold for the students trapped in this lousy situation? Will they be okay? And do these pants make me look fat?
* Plus luck. And all the other variables that determine success on the market.
My foos still won't moos.

In the 12/18/2009 NB column in the TLS, we find the following presumably real-live riff on "Humiliation":
In 2003, Sebastian D. G. Knowles looked at himself in the mirror: he was the author of a study of James Joyce; he was Professor of English at Ohio State University (specializing in Joyce). He had attended dozens of Joyce conferences. But he had never read Finnegans Wake. "Worse, I had never even tried to", Professor Knowles writes in the current James Joyce Quarterly. Guilt-ridden, he decided to confess his failing in a song to be sung at the after-dinner entertainment at a Joyce conference in Miami:

J.D. McGregor was a leading agriculturist from Brandon who served as Lieutenant Governor in the province of Manitoba during the 1930's. The Hon. J.D. McGregor was born in Amherstburg, Ontario August 29, 1860. He came west with his father in 1877 and entered the horse and cattle trade. Mr. McGregor established Glencarnock Farm north of Brandon and created one of the finest Aberdeen-Angus cattle herds in North America. In 1912 and 1913 his cattle (Glencarnock Victor and Glencarnock Victor II) were selected Grand Champions at the Chicago International. McGregor was a Liberal in politics with close ties to Clifford Sifton. From 1897-99, he served as mines inspector in the Klondike during the gold rush in that region. He also served as Lieutenant Governor of Manitoba from 1929-1934. He died March 15, 1935.
This fonds was donated to Brandon University in 1971 by Mr. McGregor's daughter Mrs. E.C. Harte. The fonds was accessioned in 1998 by the McKee Archives.
Contents include photos and slides principally of the Klondike during the gold rush era (1897-1902), Government House seating plans and speeches from a wide variety of events (1912-1934), correspondence of McGregor's, primarily from his time as Lieutenant Governor (1912-1934), a (23 3/4 oz.) gold bag, a state publication "Instructions for Lieutenant Governors", documents pertaining to the history of the Manitoba Winter Fair, and documents dealing with the early career of Winston Churchill.

① dry method. This method is a traditional process, the method is relatively simple, as long as the coating agent diluted with solvent or water at the required concentration, and add the necessary chemicals and colorants dubbed the coating slurry, with a spread coater evenly coated on the fabric , And then dried, baked, the solvent or water evaporation, the substrate to form a tough film.
The process is: roll up the substrate → coating → drying → rolling pressure (or copy) → cooling → finished roll.
② wet method. Dissolve the coating agent (such as polyurethane) with dimethyl formamide (DMF) to form a coating slurry, and after coating, immerse it in water to form a coagulation film. Since DMF can be immiscible with water, DMF dissolves in water and polyurethane does not dissolve in water, the concentration rapidly increases and finally deposits on the base cloth. During the coating solidification, due to the effect of the semipermeable membrane, DMF drastically exuded from the polyurethane, resulting in channel micropores perpendicular to the membrane surface.
0.5 ~ 5μm, can be made both breathable and waterproof, moisture-permeable rain cloth. Wet coating process as follows: cloth roll → coating → immersion in aqueous solution solidification → drying → cooling → finished roll.
③ melting method. It is the thermoplastic resin as coating agent heating coating on the base cloth, stand-by, hot pressing roller or iron hot pressing, the original coated on the base cloth dot, linear or mesh resin melt again , Bonded to the fabric being processed, commonly used to bond the collar. The process varies depending on the coating method, there are several common.
a. Dusting method. The powder resin with electromagnetic vibrating device, the powder evenly spread on the fabric surface, and then without contact with the oven (or infrared tube) for fixation. This method commonly used ethylene vinyl acetate coating agent, referred to as EVA lining processing.
b. Powder point method. It is coated on two hot rollers and one engraving roller combination. The top of this engraving roll coating agent and scraper, the resin falls into the carved groove of the female groove, the roller heated fabric, the cloth surface temperature up to l60 ~ 180 ℃, the moment in contact with the engraved roller to complete the powder Into the point of transfer. Heat roller temperature control at 160 ~ 240 ℃, nylon powder transfer temperature of about 55 ℃, polyethylene powder at about 95 ℃.
c. Paste point method. Mainly used for non-woven fabrics, the basic process with the rotary screen printing.
④ transfer film method. It is the first coating slurry coated silicone transfer paper or metal pretreatment belt, and then the base cloth and transfer paper face to face superimposed by the transfer roll to the base cloth, after cooling, the transfer paper and Processing fabric separation Serve. The law is mainly used for thin and loose loose tissue and a more sensitive to the tension of a type of fabric, such as leno, knitwear, non-woven fabric, the whole operation of drying devices are used mesh belt transport.
The process is: transfer paper coating → paper laminated → rolling → cooling → transfer paper and coated fabric separation roll.

From Amazon, you can purchase this bundle for discounted price of $130.15 right now. Bought separately, these two items would cost $285.64 in total. When bought in a bundle, it gets discounted to $130.15. The bundle savings is thus $155.49. I am guessing this is a price mistake.
It is commonly mentioned by customers that the mattress appears firmer than expected regardless of the advertised medium plush feel on the Amazon page.
Only Queen huh, good deal.
Have the twin going on about 6+ months and so far I like it. 7/10 firmness. Stink took a while to dissipate but that's to be expected with most of these.
Reviews don't look great - most indicate the mattress is too firm. Also, looks like the mattress has been on sale for $149. Probably not a huge deal and not a price mistake given the recent reviews.

Who's going to read my blog? Why would anyone read my blog? I post enough on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Do I even have time to blog? These are just a few of the many questions and considerations that took place in my head when deciding whether to implement a blog on my web site. If you can identify with any one of these questions, I understand.
In my experience, it's not enough to get started, but you want to start right – with the best strategy possible.
What is the purpose for my blog?
The key here is not just knowing what you are saying but also who you are talking to and why you are talking to that person or audience. This is important because if you lack focus when starting you will lack direction when moving; which means you will either hit and miss your target or both at any time.
Tip: If you are unsure of what your audience is expecting from you or what the value is that you offer…just ask! I always say, listen twice as much as you speak. Trust me, your audience will tell you.
Because blogging is a part of social media it is important to make your content conversational. To achieve this, you must know what type of conversation you are engaging. Are you personal or professional? Are you inspirational or educational?
If you write personally, don't be afraid to be transparent. Personal is what you define it to be. Focus on content that you are comfortable sharing.
Tip: If your voice is professional, remember to be personal – people connect with people. Also, it is awesome to educate but don't forget to inspire.
Be visual. Pictures are worth 1,000 words!
Share your message with photos and videos. By using imagery, you can embed a push-pull strategy right within your content. No, this strategy does not just work for Instagram, Snapchat or Pinterest, but it's a great way to enhance your wording. Use imagery that will illustrate what you are sharing. Stock photos from Google™ are great or create your own by simply using your smartphone camera and editing apps.
Tip: I recommend Canva and Aviary by Adobe™ as great mobile applications for photo editing. In addition, one my favorite web-based editing sites is Pic Monkey. Also, use Pic Resize for quick photo resizing for those extra-large high-resolution photos that you struggle to load on your site.
Allow yourself space to elaborate.
Your blog is the place where you can offer something "deeper" than your other social media channels. You may express or illustrate a thought on Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat or even Facebook. However, with your blog you can express, illustrate and elaborate that thought. Give yourself time and space to be multi-dimensional.
Tip: Not everyone is skilled in conversational writing. Try speaking your entries using a recording device and then transcribe them. Yes, it may take more time and effort but the results will be rewarding. Also, don't forget to edit! A resource such as Grammarly is excellent to use when writing and even has an app for Mac users which works right from your desktop. You can also install the app on Google Chrome.
Your blog should be a moving component to your brand or company. If your blog is included on your company or personal web site, you will want to make sure that it is consistently updated. No, you don't have to blog every day or even every week. However, you want to make sure that your audience can see movement when visiting your web site. Having recognizable, updated content is a way to show that you are regularly engaged.
Tip: Never launch an empty blog! If you are just announcing your blog, make sure that people can view content when they visit for the first time.
Give yourself time to see results and have a system of measurement for your engagement as well. Make sure you are using your other social media channels to pull traffic back to your blog. You can also use your blog to drive traffic to your other channels.
Google Analytics is one of the main tools that writers are using to measure their engagement. In addition, social media channels now have built in analytics as well. The use of all your analytics resources together will give you the best picture of your audience interaction. If you're sharing blog marketing content on your other social media channels you will want to make sure you are including those engagement analytics in your measurement analysis.
Lastly, if you have the desire to grow and enhance your blog and are overwhelmed with the DIY approach, feel free to hire a consultant. Sometimes, just asking the right questions to get the right answers can give you the power start you need. Even if you consider yourself a blogging professional, there is nothing wrong with giving yourself an update from time to time!
Living in an information economy means that regularly engaging via social media channels is a must for true success. Getting a feel for the differing personalities of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter is easier said than done, even in 2017. Even digital natives find themselves reevaluating the way they use their networks in an increasingly content-reliant digital landscape. Knowing how to address the varied audiences who follow your brand on each social media site can be key to targeting the right potential investors.
Over the past decade, technology has evolved exponentially. There has been a 70% increase in the number of people who use at least one social media network. But why does that matter? Well now that approximately 75-80% of the world use social media, we should be investing in ways to improve and enhance the software we have. Since the growth of all of these different platforms has happened so rapidly; we are still trying to create programs that can keep up with this expansion.

St. Joseph to kick off 100th anniversary with picnic
MICHAEL GANNON
Aug 30, 2008 at 12:01 AM Aug 30, 2008 at 3:28 AM
A Labor Day picnic in Mohegan Park would be a nice way to celebrate any special occasion.
But with the St. Joseph School on Cliff Street celebrating its 100th anniversary this fall, it is only the beginning.
"That's just the kick off," School Principal Sister Raphael said of Monday's get-together for students, alumni and their families. "We began planning this last year. We're hoping to do different activities each month."
They hope Monday's gathering at the Mohegan Park Pavilion will bring back long-time family and friends of the school.
"We have multiple generations of students attend," Sister Raphael said. "Children, parents, grandparents. Some of our long-term teachers are now teaching the children of some of the children they taught in their earliest classes."
Melissa Lennon of Griswold was a member of the class of 1986. She said joining the alumni organization was natural for her.
"My mother, Elaine Mooney, has worked there for more than 25 years," she said.
The hardest part has been finding graduates with whom they have lost touch through the years.
"A lot of the old records were handwritten," she said. "A lot of the females have married, and we don't know if the names in our database are married or maiden names."
Lennon said one graduate recently paid postage for a mailing to 1,400 graduates from various years.
"And 382 of them were returned," she said.
Lennon said she hopes the alumni newsletter and word of mouth will find some of the lost graduates.
The school is asking those who attend Monday to bring their own picnic lunches.
"We'll be providing some activities — and fellowship," she said.
"We also want people to bring their favorite reminiscences," Sister Raphael said.

right The wreck of the London is a 17th-century time capsule, preserving a wealth of artefacts illuminating maritime life aboard the ill-fated warship among them, this sun dial.
Revisiting the London: exploring the campaign to save a 17th-century warship
Resting in the silty mud of the Thames Estuary, the London represents a remarkable time capsule of the Stuart era – but its remains are rapidly deteriorating. Geoff Downer describes an ambitious campaign to raise and preserve the wreck before it is lost to time and tide.
Imagine the scene. You arrive at your archaeological site or favourite historic house in the morning. It's almost dark; thick fog surrounds you and a strong wind is blowing. In horror, you see that the roof of the structure has been torn away and irreplaceable artefacts are blowing away as you watch. You can only see an area about two metres around you and you are helpless to stop this loss.

A nightmare? A bad dream? Or so unlikely you wonder why you're reading this? On land you would be right, but this is the everyday occurrence for the volunteer licensed divers working to record and survey the 17th-century wreck of the London in the Thames estuary.
In 2015, we published a feature discussing the history of the London and how Steve Ellis and his small team of licensed divers came to investigate the site and undertake a lot of detailed discovery, recording, and survey work (see CA 308). The team has continued its work to the present day – supported by Historic England, who have commissioned remote surveys of the site to supplement the underwater investigations – and in this article we will update you on what has been found in the intervening three seasons, as well as on the current efforts to develop an ambitious plan to save this unique time capsule of the Cromwellian and Stuart era.
Remembering the London
The London was a 76-gun warship, which, Samuel Pepys writes in his famous diary (in his entry for 23 May 1660), formed part of the flotilla that sailed to Scheveningen in the Netherlands to bring Charles II to England and restore him to the throne. Despite this distinctly Royalist role, though, the vessel had originally been commissioned by Oliver Cromwell – its remains represent one of just two known Cromwellian warships surviving (albeit both as wrecks) today. Following Cromwell's death, though, she was recommissioned and joined the Royalist fleet.
Five years after the Restoration, the English were at war with the Dutch for the second time – and by March 1665 the London was fully refitted, victualled, armed, and ready to join the battle. Prior to her departure, though, her crew were allowed a display day off the Nore Anchorage outside modern Southend, and women – possibly wives, sweethearts, or more fleeting companions – were allowed on board to visit their loved ones before they departed for battle.
This convivial scene was not to last, however, as during this voyage the London suddenly exploded without warning and sank off Southend. The shallow anchorage left the 'round-house' (part of the stern structure or stern castle) standing clear of the water, and from here around 24 people are said to have been rescued, but 300 lost their lives. The tragedy was chronicled by Pepys who, as well as a prolific diarist, was also Clerk of the Acts of the Navy Office. He wrote, 'This morning is brought me to the office the sad newes of the London… She lies sunk, with her round-house above water… a great loss in this, of so many good chosen men, and many relations among them.'
Some basic salvage attempts are said to have been made at the time, and it is believed that between 27 and 41 of the London's 76 bronze guns were recovered and put to use on other vessels. After this, though, the wreck was subsequently largely forgotten and lay for 340 years deep in the mud of the Thames Estuary.
The wreck rediscovered
As a busy seaway, the Thames Estuary is not a regular diving area, and until 15 years ago the remains of the London had lain more or less undisturbed. This all changed in 2005, though, when the wreck – dispersed on two sites, as the ship had been broken in two by the explosion that sank her – was rediscovered during dredging and channel works in advance of the London Gateway Port development near Tilbury.
The wreck of the London was highlighted because one of its sites lies very close to the northern boundary of the main dredged channel, in between 8m and 20m (depending on spring tides) of fast-flowing murky water, with shipping traffic passing very close to the site on a daily basis.

Soon after the extent of her remains was confirmed by remote surveying in 2008, the wreck was designated under the Protection of Wrecks Act, restricting an area around the wreck from uncontrolled interference and prohibiting unauthorised diving in its vicinity. Shortly afterwards, Steve Ellis, a local diver with extensive experience in diving in the Thames despite the difficult conditions, applied for and was granted the license to survey and record the site, and later to perform limited excavation and recovery where there was a real risk that material discovered by him and his team would simply be washed away down the Thames. We recounted in CA 308 how Steve's involvement in the project was sparked by a chance encounter with a leading dendrochronologist, Professor Nigel Nayling, at an airport departure gate – a lucky meeting that has since proven very productive.
Diving in the Thames Estuary is no mean feat; visibility on the wreck site is extremely poor. Image: Nautical Archaeology Society.
Since the wreck's rediscovery, the dive team has carried out survey and excavations on the site (in 2013, working with Cotswold Archaeology), often in near-zero visibility. These efforts have identified many unique artefacts, which offer a window into the fascinating period of the Interregnum and the Restoration. The dense clay of the riverbed has allowed a much higher level of survival of organic remains than is often the case on wreck sites around the UK. Deep in the mud, leather goods, fabric, ropes, and wood are extensively preserved, representing tangible links to the men and women who lost their lives more than three centuries ago.
The anaerobic conditions of the silty mud at the bottom of the Thames Estuary means that many artefacts made from organic materials have survived in very good condition, including whole leather shoes. Image: Nautical Archaeology Society.
Recording the artefacts – a work in progress
Underwater, working conditions are often difficult, yet the project's survey and recovery work has continued each year when weather allows, and recording is still being undertaken by Steve and his team of local divers, with support from the London Shipwreck Trust, as well as guidance from the Nautical Archaeology Society's expert archaeologists.
Some of the project's finds reflect the London's role as a warship, such as this rammer and linstock used to hold a slow match, both of which would have been used by her gunners. Images: Historic England.
The London's estuarine location is both a benefit and a curse. The site's deep muddy clay deposits are relatively anaerobic, meaning that a wealth of organic material has survived, in contrast to wrecks that lie on typical rocky or mixed seabed. Conversely, the continuous tidal movement, coupled with disruption from the wake of large ships passing in the adjacent shipping channel, causes the surface of the riverbed to be constantly in motion, in many cases washing away lighter finds as they become exposed. (This motion is also a real challenge to divers working on the site and trying to stay in one place.)Steve has described his experience of working on the wreck: 'After a year of diving "site one", where we found a number of iron cannon that archival research suggested had been used as ballast (the London's working ordnance was bronze), we decided to brave diving close to the very edge of the Thames shipping channel, to explore the remains of the ship on its second site. I would be lying if I said I wasn't slightly nervous diving that close to the enormous cargo ships, but it was worth it. It soon became evident that this site was much more artefact-rich than the other.'
More personal items included clay tobacco pipes (below), of which a wide variety of styles have been found, and the tuning peg (top) from a musical instrument, probably a fiddle.
Images: Steve Ellis.
'It was fascinating to see so many artefacts lying on the surface, like an underwater museum – we found parts of muskets, a complete leather shoe, and sadly the physical remains of some of those poor souls who would have been on board at the time of the London's sinking. But on our next dive we arrived on site to find, to our horror, that most of these finds were gone, as if they had vanished into thin air – or into the Thames in this case. It quickly became clear that the site was severely unstable; although artefacts underwater are known to disappear in tides or through erosion, it's not normal for them to vanish in a matter of weeks. Thankfully, Historic England came to the rescue, arranging for conservation and approaching Southend Museum Services to be the receiving museum for any further recoveries from the wreck.'
Thanks to previous seasons of work on the wreck sites, an increasingly comprehensive archaeological record has been built up, both through recovering artefacts and recording and photographing others in situ. Among these finds are objects that may have belonged to the ship's crew, such as combs and numerous styles of clay tobacco pipe. Other artefacts testify to the presence of women on the London's final voyage, including near-complete leather shoes and, poignantly, a human jawbone found early in the excavation process that has since been identified as female.
Some of the finds are personal items – spoons, buckles, and ceramic vessels, as well as the recent discovery of a tuning peg from a musical instrument, probably a sailor's fiddle – while others reflect the London's role as a warship. Among these latter objects are beautifully preserved navigation instruments such as a set of dividers and a sundial, as well as a gun rammer, linstocks that show signs of use, and tampion reels employed by the ships' gunners.
Although collapsed into a flat sunburst because its hooping has not survived, this barrel is otherwise preserved entirely intact. Image: Historic England.
Of particular interest, though, was a small barrel that was found completely intact on the seabed and has subsequently been raised and conserved. Unfortunately, the hooping on the barrel (which would probably have been split cane), did not survive and the barrel is now flat – but every stave is preserved, as are its top and bottom discs, and even the bung used for accessing its contents.
This gun carriage, recovered intact, would once have cradled one of the London's 76 bronze cannon; it and the vessel's ordnance were the subject of a feature in CA 308. Photo: Cotswold Archaeology for Historic England.
Another star find is a complete gun carriage, which would have cradled one of the London's 76 bronze cannon (as reported in CA's previous article on the project). This has been recovered and conserved, but it was noticeable how much it had deteriorated even in the short space of time between its discovery and raising, illustrating the rapid rate of destruction on the wreck site.
In an attempt to monitor this deterioration, Historic England has arranged for a resurvey of the site to be undertaken in 2020 in order that the images of the site (last recorded in 2009 and 2016) can be compared and contrasted with the current conditions, and the rate of change monitored. For now, though, no more artefacts can be recovered for conservation. Until the end of last year, the dive team had a license to raise artefacts that were at risk of imminent loss or destruction, but due to lack of funding for conservation work it has now been suspended. It was in order to support this aspect of the project that the 'Save the London 1665' fundraising campaign was launched; for more information on how you can get involved, read on.
Saving the London
Many years of practical work on the site by the dedicated dive team, combined with remote sensing work, have demonstrated that much of the London still lies beneath the mud – possibly up to the level of the main gun deck. Below the mobile surface of the seabed, limited trial excavations confirm that many more fascinating artefacts are present, and experts including Chris Dobbs (from the Mary Rose Trust) and Phil Harding (Time Team/Wessex Archaeology; an ambassador for the campaign) have likened the London to the celebrated Tudor flagship, the Mary Rose, in the extent and breadth of its contents.

Despite the high rate of deterioration experienced across the whole of the wreck site, though, and the urgency of recording and saving the remains of the vessel and its artefacts, the project is currently entirely self-funding. Utilising their own money, the divers can only work on-site 30 to 40 times per year. And, as a result, only a small portion of the artefacts could be recovered and conserved before their licence expired – the rest remain vulnerable on the seabed, open to both natural and human interference. The site visibly erodes from month to month, and without additional activity it is estimated that the wreck will most likely disappear completely within the next ten years.
To address this, the London Shipwreck Trust and the Nautical Archaeology Society recently launched the 'Save the London 1665' campaign. This ambitious campaign is working to bring together public, private, charitable, and academic organisations in order to develop and implement a sustainable long-term legacy project that will ensure the wreck's future, but which will also create an economically viable heritage attraction for the borough of Southend-on-Sea. The ideal outcome would be that in saving this important wreck, we should not create a financial burden for the country but an asset.
The campaign aims to raise an initial £200,000 per year to help fund the ongoing running costs of the volunteer dive team and to enable initial conservation of recovered artefacts to resume, but the longer-term vision is even more aspirational. The hope is to create a purpose-built museum and visitor centre in Southend-on-Sea, similar in concept to the highly successful Mary Rose Museum in Portsmouth (CA 280), or to the facility displaying the remains of the Vasa, a 17th-century Swedish warship whose largely intact hull was salvaged from a busy shipping lane located just outside Stockholm harbour in 1961. Today, the Vasa Museum in Stockholm is one of Sweden's most popular attractions, and the idea is that the London could help not only to rejuvenate tourism in the Southend-on-Sea area, but also provide a huge technological and cultural education opportunity, as the ultimate goal is to raise the hull with artefacts in situ and excavate it in the centre.
The 'Save the London 1665' campaign's proposal for how the wreck could be raised in situ, and subsequently excavated within a purpose-built facility.
This approach is not as fanciful as it sounds. It draws on experience gained in raising the remains of the Mary Rose (CA 272) and the Vasa decades earlier, as well as more recent projects, including the raising of a 12th-century merchant ship in Nanhai, mainland China, and the work of the Dutch Museum Service, who are at an advanced stage in planning to recover the Amsterdam, an 18th-century cargo vessel, from its wreck site near Hastings in Sussex. The NAS has also been guided by architects Perkins and Will, who were involved in the design of the Mary Rose Museum. If the fundraising efforts are successful, hopefully it will not be long before the London rises once more so that her story can be told for future generations.
Supporting 'Save the London 1665′
'Save the London 1665' (see p.51) has already attracted major supporters including Historic England, the Port of London Authority, Southend Council, and commercial organisations in the region, as well as individuals such as Sir Barry Cunliffe, Sir Tony Robinson, Phil Harding, Sir Tim Smit (founder of the Eden Project), and Professor Alice Roberts. The campaign has also gained interest from a number of TV production companies wanting to follow progress over the next few years.

Red Bull Spot Supply sheds light on a cast of characters, builders, and skateboarders in VA.
Before public skate parks, muti-million dollar skate events and skate moms, skateboarding thrived solely on the energy of those who owned a board. Red Bull Spot Supply sheds light on the cast of characters, builders, and skateboarders who start with nothing and don't stop building until there's something to shred.
Three DIY skate collectives were given the supplies to create something new at their spot. 660 Ramp in Jersey City, South Philly Bowl in Philadelphia, and Lost Bowl in Richmond all got on board and were up to the challenge to build something new over the summer. In order to make it interesting, the Red Bull skate team votes on which spot gets the most mileage out of what Spot Supply kicks down to each collective. The winning team walks away with extra cash to get through the winter.
First up, the Lost Bowl in Richmond Virginia.
When Pat Lowery built his own backyard haven in post-recession Virginia, he wasn't all that concerned with budgets, project management, workflow, or even quality concrete work, but with a few close friends, the Lost Bowl became the destination spot in Richmond. What started as a few features here and there has turned into an entire backyard skatepark – designed and built by some of the best in the business, aka Berny Mcgrew, who's poured concrete for skateparks across the country. Richmond now has one of the most inclusive facilities going, and each weekend you can find a crew of 10-50 skaters ripping the transitions. The Lost Bowl has become such a great meet up spot that they've even started hosting skateboarder friendly yoga sessions.
At the end of the day, cities like Richmond have rough ground and hot weather. They're not the center of any part of the skateboard industry, and local governments are slow to come around to the positive role skateboarding plays in people's lives. They've had cheap skateparks and short lived street spots, but some of the biggest hearts when it comes to DIY transition and good friends.
The Lost Bowl might be one of many DIY spots in RVA, but its certainly the most iconic and inviting skateable swimming holes south of the Mason-Dixon.
Hey, Im from Chicago Illinois, and go to school in Radford. Was wondering where this spot is?

Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed legendary English striker Jimmy Greaves on Saturday to become the all-time leading scorer in Europe's top leagues with 367 goals.
Ronaldo's goal against Valencia was his 280th in La Liga, with the Portugal star also netting three times for Sporting Lisbon before scoring 84 Premier League goals in six highly successful years at Manchester United.
Real's all-time record goalscorer is now just four off 400 in all competitions for the Spanish giants.
Greaves, 77, scored 366 in 528 appearances for Chelsea, AC Milan, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham between 1957 and 1971.
He was part of the England squad that won the 1966 World Cup, but injury cost him his place after the group stage as his replacement Geoff Hurst went onto score a hat-trick in the final over West Germany.
Barcelona's Lionel Messi also looks set to overtake Greaves shortly as the Argentine has netted 345 La Liga goals for the Catalan giants.

The National University of Ireland, Maynooth (Irish: Ollscoil na hÉireann Má Nuad), commonly known as Maynooth University, is a constituent university of the National University of Ireland in Maynooth, County Kildare, Ireland. It is Ireland's youngest university, having been founded by the Universities Act, 1997 from the secular faculties of the now separate St Patrick's College, Maynooth, which was founded in 1795.
The university consists of two connected campuses; an older south campus with 19th century buildings, shared with St Patrick's College, and a modern north campus, occupying circa 100 acres (0.40 km2). With around 8,800 registered students, it is Ireland's smallest, yet fastest growing university. In 2009, NUI Maynooth was listed as a Top500 university in the Times Higher Education-QS World University Rankings. The 2012 QS World University Rankings puts NUIM in the 501-550 bracket worldwide. In 2008 it was named Sunday Times University of the Year. In 2011, NUI Maynooth became the first and only institution outside of North America to be included in the Princeton Review of Best Colleges.
Maynooth (/məˈnuːθ/; Irish: Maigh Nuad) is a university town in north County Kildare, Ireland. It is home to Maynooth University (also known as The National University of Ireland Maynooth) part of the National University of Ireland, a Pontifical University and Ireland's main Roman Catholic seminary, St Patrick's College. Maynooth is also the seat of the Irish Catholic Bishops' Conference and holds the headquarters of Ireland's largest development charity, Trócaire.
Maynooth is located on the R148 road between Leixlip and Kilcock, with the M4 motorway bypassing the town. Other roads connect the town to Celbridge, Clane, and Dunboyne. Maynooth is also on the Dublin to Sligo rail line and is served by a commuter train service.
Maynooth comes from Irish: Maigh Nuadhat or Maigh Nuadhad, meaning "plain of Nuadha". Maigh Nuad is the modern spelling. Nuadha was one of the gods of the ancient Irish, corresponding to Nudd of Wales and Nodens of ancient Britain and Gaul.
Maynooth is a town in County Kildare, Ireland.

American Legion Post 17 heating up
Post 17's Nolan Kinne connects for single earlier this season versus Waterbury. Post 17 is beginning to heat up, winning three of the last 4, after a slow start. –RA ARCHIVE
NAUGATUCK — The dog days of August have arrived about four weeks ahead of time as the region has been sweltering in the second heat wave of the summer. But the Naugatuck American Legion Post 17 senior baseball team has been heating up with the weather.
Naugatuck enjoyed its most productive week of the season, picking up three wins and improving to 4-9.
Last Wednesday, Naugatuck split a doubleheader with New Milford, winning the opener, 7-6, in 10 innings. Post 17 earned another nail-biter the next day coming back from a deficit to defeat Monroe, 5-4. Last Friday, Naugatuck was all over Ansonia in an 11-1 victory.
"We are starting to put it together," coach Bob Dibble said. "Six of our losses have been by one run, including a game last week that was reported as forfeited but it was actually a tough, 3-2 loss to Monroe."
Naugatuck felt the sting of another one-run defeat as Post 17 was left on the field on Saturday as Ansonia plated the winning run with two outs and two strikes on the batter. Orlando Morales belted a triple to score Johan Perez with the game-winner.
On Sunday, Naugatuck dropped a doubleheader to Danbury, losing the first game 8-6 with Tyler Lafo and Charles Healy splitting the mound duties. Naugatuck wasted a superb, seven-inning effort from Matt Zahornasky in the nightcap as it lost, 4-3. Zahornasky also had three hits in the loss.
"We came up with a couple of one-run decisions ourselves to help us turn it around a bit," Dibble said. "The guys brought me back in from the ledge. They are working hard and battling through this. I can't ask for a better effort than what they are giving."
Naugatuck brought up three players from the junior team and according to Dibble, John Dean, Chris Anderson and Mike D'Agnone all contributed to the team's success last week.
Dean got a start against New Milford and went 3 2/3 innings on the hill. Karl Johansen worked 2 1/3 innings in relief with Lafo finishing off the last four innings to pick up the win.
Tim Cronin came on to score the winning run when Johansen was hit by the pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Adam Neveski went the distance in the 5-4 win over Monroe. Naugatuck trailed, 2-0, but plated five runs in the sixth on consecutive hits from Johansen, Kyle Lopes and Zac Mercer.
Mike Burns threw a complete game in the 11-1 win over Ansonia. Anderson and Cronin had two hits each while Neveski's triple and Lopes' double were the key run-scoring hits.
Ryan White went the distance and deserved a better fate in the tough, last-at-bat loss to Ansonia on Saturday. Burns belted three hits but Naugatuck was missing the timely hit to get the win.
"That was a rough stretch of eight games in six days," Dibble said. "If we can come up with a timely hit here and there we could have added a few more in the win column. We get a little break now as we don't play again until Thursday. Maybe the rest will do us some good and we can put up a few more in the win column."

Q: TCP Client error in python SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file TCPClt.py on line 2, but no encoding declared; I want to write a python code so that the client will send requests to the server to reverse strings (taken as a command line input) over the network using sockets.
This assignment uses a two-stage communication process. First, in the negotiation stage, the client and the server negotiate through a fixed negotiation port (<n_port>) of the server, a random port (<r_port>) for later use. Then, later in the transaction stage, the client connects to the server through the negotiated random port (<r_port>) for actual data transfer.
When I executed the server code on the Ubuntu server, it worked fine. But when I ran the client code, it gave me "SyntaxError: Non-ASCII character '\xe2' in file TCPClt.py on line 2, but no encoding declared; see http://python.org/dev/peps/pep-0263/ for details". Would you please check what is wrong with the Client code and review the whole code so that to perform the job?
Here is the code
TCP Server
import socket
serverPort = 9023
serverSocket = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM)
serverSocket.bind(('',serverPort))
serverSocket.listen(1)
print("Ther server is ready to receive the connection...")
while True:
    connectionSocket, addr = serverSocket.accept()
    sentence = connectionSocket.recv(1024).decode()
    ReverseSentence = sentence[::-1]
    connectionSocket.send(ReverseSentence.encode())
    connectionSocket.close()

TCP CLient
from socket import *
serverName = 'ubuntu2004-002.student.cs.university.ca'
serverPort = 9023
clientSocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
clientSocket.connect((serverName,serverPort))
sentence = raw_input('Input lowercase sentence:')
clientSocket.send(sentence.encode())
modifiedSentence = clientSocket.recv(1024)
print modifiedMessage.decode()

Netflix ends support for Apple's AirPlay wireless casting
Netflix has ended its support for Apple's AirPlay wireless casting feature, claiming "technical limitations" are behind the policy change.
AirPlay – the feature which enables Apple mobile device users to wirelessly cast content to their TV – has recently expanded its compatibility to support more smart TVs. However, Netflix said it is not comfortable with some aspects of the update.
It was announced last month that Apple was adding AirPlay support to smart TVs made by Samsung, LG and Sony among others, but Netflix claims because this feature will not allow it to identify the device being cast to, it can no longer support AirPlay.
"We want to make sure our members have a great Netflix experience on any device they use. With AirPlay support rolling out to third-party devices, there isn't a way for us to distinguish between devices (what is an Apple TV vs. what isn't) or certify these experiences," the company said in a statement.
"Therefore, we have decided to discontinue Netflix AirPlay support to ensure our standard of quality for viewing is being met. Members can continue to access Netflix on the built-in app across Apple TV and other devices."
The firm's help centre webpage has also been updated to include the message: "Airplay is no longer supported for use with Netflix due to technical limitations."
The incident could be seen as the start of a new rivalry between the two firms.
Apple TV+. A new home for the world's most creative storytellers.
— Apple (@Apple) March 26, 2019
Apple recently announced plans to launch its own video streaming service of original content, alongside an updated version of the firm's TV app which it claims will feature a larger number of third-party on-demand TV services and programmes available to users in one place – a package that will be a direct rival to Netflix.
The streaming service confirmed before Apple announced its new TV subscription platform that it would "not to integrate into their services", instead choosing to remain a competitor.
Apple's announcement included appearances from a number of high-profile Hollywood actors and directors, including Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Steven Spielberg.

Jewish groups in Britain have falsely and disgustingly tried to portray Jeremy Corbyn as an anti-Semite because he has been a strong advocate for Palestinian rights and a critic of Israel's most egregious policies and practices.
This is not even by the wildest stretch of the imagination anti-Semitism. This is simple decency.
This is what we have to expect from Zionist CBC.


With any sport, the level of an athlete's physical fitness has a direct impact on his or her ability to execute certain movements within the sport. In order to help quantify and portray your array of physical skills and abilities, and to help indicate areas of weakness that may hinder your potential for improvement in bowling, we have gathered and analyzed data in several important areas: mobility, balance, power, strength, and endurance. Below, you will find your results, as well as a description of the ratings and analyses.
To assess mobility, there were three different tests performed: An overhead deep squat test, a Thomas test, and a shoulder mobility test. The overhead deep squat test is used to assess bilateral, symmetrical and functional mobility of the hips, knees, ankles, spine, and shoulders. The Thomas test further assesses specific flexibility of the musculature around the hips and knees, and the shoulder mobility test further assesses specific flexibility of the musculature around the shoulder. For your results, you will either see the term "limited", which signifies that the joint mobility needs improvement, or "normal", which means that the joint does not need improvement.
To assess balance, a standard balance test was performed. In this test, the participant was required to stand on one leg and perform a forward bend/reach in three distinct directions – left, front, and right. This test was performed on each leg. For your results, you will either see the term "below average", which signifies that balance needs improvement, or "above average", which signifies that balance does not need improvement.
To assess power, two tests were performed: a vertical jump test and a standing broad jump test. Both tests specifically measure jumping ability, which directly reflects a person's ability to generate power. For your results, you will see a numerical value, which signifies the measured distance of the jump, as well as a percentile value, which reflects where you rank amongst other high school athletes.
To assess strength and endurance, two tests were performed: a push-up test and a sit-up test. The push-up test consists of performing technically correct push-ups to failure, and measures upper body and core strength and endurance. The sit-up test consists of performing as many technically correct sit-ups as possible in 1 minute. This test measures strength and endurance of the abdominal, oblique, and low back muscles. For your results, you will see a numerical value, which signifies the number of repetitions performed on the test, as well as a percentile value, which reflects where you rank amongst other high school athletes.

What Enterprises Need to Know About New-Gen Collaboration IT
Chris Preimesberger
Competition is always one thing in business—it's everywhere you look. And it wasn't all that long ago that IT companies all had their privately held, proprietary secret-sauce code and development processes that helped them put their stakes in the ground.
This is still true to an extent; regulated industries (financial services, oil and gas exploration, military, health care are chief examples) still are a bastion of closely held products, services and processes. This is to be expected.
However, as more and more companies in various other verticals discover the benefits of collaborating with each other, much of the corporate world is starting to look more like a big bunch of BFFs, hanging out together and innovating in an effort to attract their own pieces of the market.
When Collaboration Works, It Really Works
When it works, collaboration between companies can lead to product innovation due to the pooling of talented personnel and greater marketing outreach due to the sharing of databases. The open source community in all its vestiges has proved this for generations.
When collaboration fails, however, one company can be left to do all the graft, or in-fighting can occur due to conflicts in working styles and processes.
So how does one ensure that an enterprise collaboration actually works? Getting set up with the right collaborative technology will set you off in the right direction.
Using industry information from Natalie Harris-Briggs, Vice-President of Marketing at Avocor, an interactive hardware maker, eWEEK offers this Data Point round-up of the latest business tech and ideas that can be used to support collaboration between companies.
Data Point 1: Huddle rooms
Huddle rooms aren't exactly new, but they're the bedrock on which to base the rest of your collaborative technology. If you've never heard of huddle rooms before, they're in-office spaces – either open plan or self-contained – that exist for the purpose of facilitating quick collaborations. They differ from conference and board rooms in the fact that they don't have to be booked out in advance, and both warm bodied and remote colleagues can get together in the space to debate, discuss and problem solve at a moment's notice.
Data Point 2: Cloud video conferencing
Conferencing has come a long way since the time when teams of people would sit around a physical piece of dial-in hardware on a conference table and strain to hear what was being said and who was saying it. Today, cloud-based video conferencing apps like Zoom make it possible for employees to meet with and see colleagues from all over the world, in high definition. These solutions also offer functionality that makes everyone's lives easier – like an instant zoom-in on the person who's talking when they take over the conversation.
Date Point 3: Interactive displays
When you're collaborating with both remote and physical workers on a project, whiteboards no longer cut the mustard. You need a solution to displaying information and ideas that's much more fluid and interactive. This is where interactive displays come in. You can load designs and graphs onto a screen and manipulate them in real time as meeting or huddle members make comments and give feedback. It all makes for quicker decision making.
Date Point 4: Embedded collaboration technology
Hundreds upon hundreds of apps have now been designed to help businesses work collaboratively together. However, many of these apps are used in silos. Many employees will have to leave their collaborative messaging app to access their collaborative calendar app, for example. The future is an embedded solution that lets you do all your collaborative work in one place. This technology is only really emerging with companies such as Moxtra offering solutions that let you message, collaborate on documents and video conference without switching between apps.
Data Point 5: Virtual reality
Today's cloud-based video conference systems are powerful, but if you feel like they still don't get you closer to your virtual colleagues, it won't be long before you can have meetings in virtual spaces. Companies like MeetinVR are developing technology that will allow you to stand side by side with your physically absent colleagues, as well as let you show them around spaces and pass them virtual designs and ideas by your virtual hands.
Data Point 6: Smart virtual personal assistants
Today, smart virtual personal assistants like Amazon's Alexa are common features of homes around the world. SVPAs can also come in handy inside businesses, too. They can be used to take minute meetings, scan emails for important information, and schedule meetings, freeing up physical workers to concentrate on the bigger pictures rather than the admin.
Data Point 7: Machine- learning
Artificial Intelligence aka AI can help businesses with different sets of employees to map skills, leverage those skills, and automatically connect colleagues with similar areas of interest or expertise. AI-powered search engines like Collokia can also tap into the collective intelligence of two businesses working together and help employees access that intelligence quickly.
Data Point 8: Ambient Intelligence
Most ambient intelligent technologies are in the beta phase of design. However, it won't be long before we see this technology emerging into the market. Ambient intelligence will be able to do things like build behaviour profiles of employees based on the way they act and speak in different areas of the workplace. AML will then be able to offer advice on best practices for how to deliver information or communicate with each employee – helpful if you don't know all the employees in the business with whom you'll be collaborating.

Māori never ceded their sovereignty to the Crown
5:55pm, Friday 14 November 2014. By Dean Nathan
Māori never ceded their sovereignty to the Crown. It's what the chiefs who signed the Treaty of Waitangi maintained despite not being heard.
However today their words were confirmed as true by the Waitangi Tribunal in its report on stage one of the Ngāpuhi claims.
It's a report that acknowledges the Māori version of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and its English version.
Te Waihoroi Shortland says, "It's of utmost importance that we realise our sovereignty and we all need to move down that road for the benefit of the nation."
The report by the Waitangi Tribunal is said to tip 174 years of jurisprudence on its head.
According to Hokimate Painting, "Our ancestors wanted to sit as equals with the redcoats to create law for one and all, not just for the benefit of one side."
Pita Tipene says, "The hapu are right so what will the Crown do now? They need to talk with our future generations to change the way this country is managed and controlled."
"It's not about settlement but a process that ensure that Te Tiriti o Waitangi is the enduring document envisaged as part of the partnership. Until then nothing will ever be full and final," says Erima Henare.
Today tribes nationwide now have a new precedent to revisit their settlements.
