Seattle Sports Insider - Baseball
Mad Dog, indeed
TJM axs,
On another note: What do we make of the fact that the Atlanta Braves had three Hall of Famers at their peaks in their starting rotation and won only one Series? How exactly do you mess that up? - See more at: http://seattlesportsinsider.com/comment/157112#comment-157112
The conventional wisdom is that luck controls the postseason. Move on. Nothing to see here.
And that's why -- say they -- you win 90 every year, and just wave off the postseason with a "Pshaw" and a shake of the head. The most unspeakably Neanderthal / Gabe Paul thing you could do, is what Billy Beane did last year: try to improve a team that is already good enough to make the postseason. Why on earth would a saber-literate person do that?!
If that's how you want to look at the 1990's Braves, that they were merely victims of Pascal's Triangle, well, we're all about inclusiveness :- )
Between 1991 and 2005, the postseason Atlanta Braves won 25 games and lost 52.
Assuming that their probability of winning each individual game was 50%, then their chances of winning 25 games or fewer was ... wait for it ... 0.13 of 1 percent.
You'd expect the same thing to happen once in 800 trials. Yes, LrKrBoi29, there has been more than one such trial in baseball history. There has been, what, 20-30 such trials of 10-year dynasties. This puts the odds that any dynasty would suffer so much, by pure chance, at roughly 1 in 20 to 1 in 50.
In any case, the 1990's Atlanta Braves are wild outliers in postseason futility.
In 1996, when the Yankees crushed the Braves like a pop can, Greg Maddux marvelled about it: "How can you pitch to guys who just take what you give them?" Had I been a Braves fan, I'd have been very alarmed by that reaction.
I think there was a certain element of bullying to the 1990's Braves, a certain factor of living off consistent profits from weak opposition -- and then being a bit surprised when they ran into stubborn opposition.
The same was true of the 2001 Mariners, who won 116 games -- but who were -25 games worse the year before, and the year after. They really, really enjoyed their 15-game winning streaks against teams in 80% mode. Then, in October, they couldn't really understand why the game was so hard.
Put it another way, if you're Tom Glavine and you're used to throwing 88-MPH fastballs a foot outside against the Padres -- and then going and celebrating the victory -- then what do you do when somebody takes you by the throat and forces you to truly fight?
This has been our complaint about the 2005-13 Mariners: you can't get the "Hard RBI" from them. Going into 2015, it is turning around completely. Current Mariners who relish a hot fight against the toughest opposition they can find:
Lloyd McClendon
Felix Hernandez (he pressed a bit last fall; that's different)
WBC-san
Kyle Seager, of course
James Paxton, if he stays healthy "Hurry up and get in there, Albert"
Nelson Cruz, I'm fairly but not totally confident
Chris Taylor, definitely - he's a pleasure to watch out there
Most of the bullpen
Dustin Ackley and Justin Smoak have been poster boys for the opposite of this. Jesus Montero is unbearably lazy, but he's not squeamish about pressure. And you'll remember his joy in coming up to stand in front of the New York lights.
Brad Miller loves to fight, but isn't (wasn't?) ready to do so. Roenis Elias came up full of macho, but has gotten a bit wide-eyed since then.
Taijuan Walker, for some weird reason, seems to float completely above the whole concern; you can't get him to acknowledge the fact that he's in an important game. Mike Zunino is tougher than your average MLB catcher, which is saying a lot, but there is a quizzical aspect to his at-bats.
Lloyd McClendon has been tempering the M's steel from day one. It echoes the 1993-95 Lou Piniella. I'm not especially a McClendon fact fan, but what's real is real. :- )
BABVA,
Einstein, dept.
Konspiracy Korner: UFO's

I buy "what is real is real" (really)
but "I'm not especially a McClendon fact" is stretching it. A McClendon fantasy?
1/7/15 12:15pm
I agree Lloyd is #1--with a bullet. I believe he eventually eclipses Lou in every way (except maybe base-throws).
By the middle of this year, I think we may also all agree that Brad truly belongs.
Time to go do my workout. Definitely getting bleary.
That was a very enjoyable work day, amigos. Gracias.

2001 Mariners
Stubborn opposition? Stubborn? I think the post 9/11 New York Yankees had the entire nation routing for them to win, including quite a few ballplayers in the opposing dugout.
Personally, I chalk much of the 'faliure' of the 2001 M's to post 9/11 emotion. I think that had much more to do with coming up short than an additional bench bat or more hard-rbi relishers.
- Ben.
Normally would agree about 9/11 and the New York intangibles
Except for these things:
1) The previous (Indians) series was much, much tougher than it should have been (outscored 16-26)
2) Piniella's bitterness about the Yankee rotation (he acknowledged the Yankees had the better team)
3) The M's won 10 of their final 12 after Sept. 11 -- they scored 88 runs in their last 12 games, but then got brutally locked down in 7 of 10 postseason games
4) The scouting factor, such as Soriano's HR off Sasaki on the 2-0 count
Except for that, yeah. :- )
The 2001 M's aren't the best example of "soft RBI." More important there, IMHO, was the idea of "25 pretty good players" rampaging through the long schedule and then not being able to focus their postseason innings into 6-8 superstars.

The Braves had what has to be considered an ideal, three-man post-season rotation. Shouldn't they have been better in October, not worse? Or does this indicate - not prove, just call into question - the conventional wisdom about playoff pitching? Maybe hitting is vastly undervalued. Maybe that's why the Yankees kept running out those teams full of offense-first defenders and winning.with that line-up and Big Mo at the end. Most of those teams had one plus defender - Paul O'Neill - and a bunch of guys who were adequate. Or not - Knoblauch.

Regarding Our 2001 Seattle Dynamos...
err... Mariners, excuse me. I recognize 9/11 taking the shine off that season considerably. But what caused me to choke-up upon hearing it, was Carlos Guillen contracting tuberculosis. I immediately felt the season/team would be affected. I have since learned that he and the team dealt with the issue much longer than the public was aware. Still, his departure marked a turning point in team chemistry (SABR's fave term, I know) in my view. I maintained the proverbial lump-in-the-throat once he was replaced.

Booker Book #45: The Finkler Question, by Howard Jacobson
Let me clear this up right away: "Finkler," in this novel, is a character's code word for Jew. Julian Treslove has two Jewish friends, and falls in love with a Jewish woman. In fact, after being mugged by a woman who says something that he hears as "You Jew," he begins to think he is Jewish.
The Jewish characters help explore the two sides of the Zionist debate, and it is clear which side Jacobson wants us to be on. Sam Finkler is a pop culture philosopher who joins the Ashamed Jews, who protest the Isreali takeover of Palestine and particularly Gaza. Finkler is an empty, clownish figure, whose wife cheats on him with his friend Julian. Finkler's wife tells her husband to get off his high horse: now that Isrealis have their own country, "they are now just ordinary bastards, half right, half wrong, like the rest of us."
The other Jewish characters, Julian's friend Libor and lover Hephzibah (aka Juno), are more interested in simply being Jewish and celebrating the positive. Hep is working on opening an Anglo-Jewish culture museum, which she insists is NOT another Holocaust museum. I liked Hep more than any of the male characters, by the way.
However, the fact that the author uses Finkler's name in the title to stand in for Jewish, and not one of the other two characters' names, seems to indicate that the world sees Jewishness in the negative way represented by Finkler. It's an interesting story of friendship and love and I learned a lot about anti-Zionism, though I still don't feel well informed enough to take sides.

Re-establishing Former UND Program
The re-establishment of the Flight Training Program
Dakota Student / Nicholas Nelson
Madison Feltman, News Editor
On Tuesday, March 12 the University of North Dakota alongside Sen. John Hoeven, R-N-D. announced the reestablishment of the U.S. Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps Flight Training Program. The announcement also marked the beginning of a new partnership between UND and U.S. Army Cadet Command. Until 2010, the Aerospace Department offered a unique scholarship program that led ROTC Cadets to becoming Army aviators. Due to lack of federal funding the program was dissolved, but with the help of Sen. Hoeven, UND was able to bring that back. Sen. Hoeven was able to secure $4 million of funding for 2019 through his work with the National Defense Authorization Act.
"It's a very exciting partnership that we are excited to bring back to the University of North Dakota through the support of Sen. John Hoeven, we were able to find funding to help support ROTC Cadets to flight train in preparation for the when they commission with the U.S. Army," Elizabeth Bjerke, UND Associate Dean of Aerospace said.
With the nation and the military in the middle of a pilot and instructor shortage, the program is geared to help solve this issue.
"We get more pilots, they get the best education and they serve our country. That's a win-win-win," Sen. John Hoeven said.
The flight training is program currently working with five cadets, but the funding allows for up to 15 cadets to have their flight training costs covered. With the new partnership cadets are now able to receive instruction of unmanned aircraft systems. Upon graduation cadets will transition into military service with three types of training in fixed-wing, rotary-wing and UAS.
"It has worked out in my favor, I have now the opportunity to fly more than ever before," UND Senior Cadet Devin Wobbleton said. "It's kind-of a no-brainer the army and aviation in preparing myself for aviation training it's been working fantastic."
This is one of many different partnerships that UND's Aviation Program has, the department also has partnerships with different airlines including Delta, United, Sun Country Airline, JetBlue and SkyWest in the country and with U.S Customs and Border Protection that works with both fixed-wing helicopter and unmanned aircraft training which also allows another path for students to follow.
"It's a very exciting time in aviation and a lot of opportunities for young people in that field," Bjerke said.

Ott Tänak leads Rally Australia after day 2. The Estonian holds a 21.9 second lead over Toyota teammate Jari-Matti Latvala. While Sébastien Ogier controls the WRC title fight going into the final day.
Tänak took the lead in SS14 from Latvala. And went on to extend his lead to 7.4 seconds in SS15. Latvala admitted that taking one spare tyre was not the right choice. Commenting at SS15 stage-end: "I should have two spares [like Tänak], I would like to take one off."
Hayden Paddon is in third place overall, just 4.4 seconds behind Latvala. The Hyundai driver was very positive about the performance of the car: "Great day today - 2 scratch times, up to P3 and feeling great in the car on some amazing stages."
Citroën's Mads Østberg, who led the rally after day 1, is in fourth position overall after day 2, 46.6 seconds behind Tänak. The Norwegian said he lacked balance in his C3 WRC.
Esapekka Lappi completes the Top 5. The Finn is 12.6 seconds behind Østberg and 55.7 seconds in front of his 2019 teammate Sébastien Ogier.
Toyota's Manufacturer's title is more likely than ever with Tänak in first, Latvala in second and Lappi in fifth.
Sébastien Ogier controls the (driver's) title fight. The Frenchman holds sixth place overnight, which is enough to take a sixth WRC title. Tänak can get a maximum of 211 points, the Estonian needs to win the rally and the Power Stage to get 211 points. Ogier has virtually 212 points, without any Power Stage points. Elfyn Evans lies 26.6 seconds behind Ogier in seventh. Whilst Thierry Neuville is in eighth, a further 32 seconds behind. Neuville's has virtually 205 points.
Day 3 or Rally Australia contains six stages, with a total or 83.96 kilometers. First car is underway at 06:53 local time (Saturday 20:53 CET).

While walking on empty roads as the cold breeze gently caressed my face, I traced my past. Like an open graveyard, I walked through it. Like an old favorite book, I smelled its pages again. Like an old friend, I felt a sense of familiarity.
I realised that I have lost too many people. People who left me, and people I left. People who stopped loving me, and people I never stopped loving. People who forgot me, and people I will never forget. In between the silence of outgrowing people and the heartbreak of striking differences, life slapped us all into reality.
I opened the chest of memories that I had locked from ages. Broken promises overflowed. Shattered hopes oozed out. Unfinished stories glanced at me with desperate eyes. Old love threw tantrums. I just kept looking, overwhelmed with the reminder of things I have lost.
Now, here we are trying to find lost pieces of past in the future. Now, here we are trying to see similar features in new faces. Now, here we are trying to find the grace of old love in the passion of a new one. We all are walking boxes of memories. We all are shelves occupied with broken promises and dusty novels.
We all have come too ahead, while never reaching anywhere at all. We all have been beaten, in one way or another, into a silent acceptance.
We all are nothing but a mosaic of people who have left, and those few who decided to walk along. We all are nothing but a bruised love that never learned how to stop loving.
It rarely happens that I am lost for words I always have opinions about anything and everything but there is something I avoid or never discuss – politics and religion. Both are explosive touchy sensitive subjects and nobody really knows who is right and who is wrong. You know what they say, the truth probably lies somewhere in the middle but I'm getting sidetracked again by all these unnecessary explanations that have nothing to do with what I want to say. The toughest question someone could ask me is about fidelity. If somebody ask: "Have you always been faithful?" Then I don't know what to say because I can't lie. I'm not a good liar.
If your partner is unfaithful for so many years and one day you decided to give him or her a taste of their own medicine, is that consider cheating?
Who says about loving? Unfaithfulness doesn't mean you love someone else. You just happen to be looking for something you're missing and can't find at home and someone is there at the right place at the right time and that someone caught you in your most vulnerable state but of course in every rule there is always an exception so, go ahead fill in the blank with what you believe and what works for you.
The little I know about happiness is always been threaded with pain and tears so I decided not to be happy because I have learned early on that not only good things never last -so don't form any attachment- you have to pay dearly for it. I'm terrified of being happy. Happiness is not for me. I take pleasure in the little things like taking photographs and walking but happiness… no.
Little do these people know that, on the inside, you are a raging ball of contrasting feelings, all muddled together to form an incomprehensible and never-ending noise that you struggle to silence. Sometimes it is so overwhelming that it feels like an invisible hand is clasped tight around your neck; a pressure so intense that it takes every ounce of your strength not to suffocate.
Inside your heart, the feelings are only ever felt deeply and with great intensity; there is no middle ground, no volume dial with which to dampen the senses. It is both mentally and physically exhausting to live your life in an almost constant state of heightened emotion, but you hold it together…mostly…to give a composed, if sometimes a little awkward, appearance.
Yet you can't resist the temptation to try and help others; it is your very nature to turn your attention to the ills and needs of those in trouble because you somehow feel that helping them will help yourself.

Hyundai FE Fuel Cell Foreshadows Hydrogen-Powered SUV in 2018
By Tudor Lucian Zaharia
| Wednesday, March 29, 2017

Wednesday, March 29, 2017 WebPage https://www.auto-types.com/images/_autonews/2018-Hyundai-FE-Fuel-Cell-Concept-SUV_24.jpg Auto Types https://www.auto-types.com/img/logo1.png 242 55
Many automakers have already stated that in the long term hydrogen is the best solution for green propulsion, surpassing even electrification. In this regard Hyundai has moved beyond statements and is one of the most active developers of this type of propulsion based on fuel cells.
Hyundai unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show the FE Fuel Cell concept. The new model emphasizes the car manufacturer's commitment to develop vehicles based on fuel cells, part of the brand vision to launch 14 new models with low emissions until 2020.
At the beginning of 2017, with the DavosWorld Economic Forum organization, Hyundai Motor Company joined to the program Hydrogen Council, a global initiative that aims to promote the development and commercialization of vehicles powered by fuel cells.
The company records two decades of research in the field of models based on hydrogen; the ix35 Fuel Cell, respectively Tucson Fuel Cell in some markets, which became in 2013 the first Fuel Cell vehicle series produced, and is currently marketed in 17 countries worldwide.
The concept name - FE (Future Eco) - reflects the innovative technology that complements the vehicle's environmental qualities. One of the most important features is the internal air humidifier, which recycles water issued into the system in order to create a cozy atmosphere in the vehicle.
The sleek shape of the FE Fuel Cell bodywork is inspired by the flow of water - the only type of emission generated.
In addition, the rear air vents have been incorporated to improve aerodynamic performance.
Encouraged by the increasing global demand for clean vehicles, the company continued the program initiated by Ioniq, the first model available in three electric powertrain versions. The FE Fuel Cell version represents the fourth Hyundai generation which uses hydrogen technology.
Compared to the current generation system used for the Tucson/ix35 Fuel Cell, the new Hydrogen cell has lower weight by 20 percent, being 10 percent more efficient. In addition, they benefit from specific power increase by 30 percent.
For ultimate comfort, the FE Fuel Cell concept is equipped with a portable battery pack that is charged with energy from the vehicle to feed passengers devices. Meanwhile, the luggage compartment features a storage space that allows loading an electric scooter.
The FE Fuel Cell variant was designed to travel over 800 kilometers on one tank of hydrogen, given the limited development of refueling infrastructure. The elements of the FE Fuel Cell concept will be used for future Fuel Cell SUV class models, which will be launched in 2018. The car will be equipped with advanced driver,assistance systems while benefiting from extensive range.
Woong Chul Yang, Hyundai Motor Company Vice Chairman declared that "Hyundai Motor has a heritage of building innovative, fuel-efficient vehicles that advance the automotive industry's environmental progress. Our FE Fuel Cell Concept is an important evolution of our pioneering hydrogen leadership, and moves us closer to our vision for a 'Hydrogen Society', where transportation is clean, efficient and enhances the lives of our customers."


NECTAR Sleep Mattress Review – Englander Vs Hasvag | Your Best Sleep Now!
In both TV as well as The movies, there's a subject that has done positively in the past couple of years: Zombies. This idea makes for many quite enjoyable, majorly successful, as well as award-winning television shows and also motion pictures. But nevertheless it's entirely fiction, right?
If you have lived for almost any time period, it's no doubt you have heard someone let you know how vital sleeping is. It's very likely that you've come to realize this lesson for yourself, and it's also likely that you've heard from many others that have already discovered it too. Without rest, we truly feel like… well, zombies.
Just as if feeling drowsy isn't already a sufficient amount of an issue, there's substantially more to the narrative. Any time we are deprived of sleep, our brain pretty much malfunctions. That simply just means our human brain fails to operate well. The truth is, our brain in reality begins shutting down specified areas as well as operations that are not needed for survival. Hence to be deprived of sleep is not merely feelings, this really is a bodily weakened state of living.
Making issues more intense, long-term sleep loss brings about over production of cortisol. Cortisol in it's correct quantity may help us to sense a bit of tension and also urgency to get things accomplished. But when it's overproduced, it leads to us to feel stressed, anxious, as well as apprehensive on a regular basis. This tends to bring about even deeper professional medical issues of anxiety and depression. Evidently, lack of sleep is very bad for any of us.
We've all been through it. So frequently, our lives require so much from us. We dedicate a huge amount of of our time and effort to our jobs and professions, our family members and close friends, as well as our spare-time activities and also activities. Frequently, it feels like there can be little left, and it is generally difficult to be at ease and also recharge.
And yeah, it is likely we might all use significantly more sleep. But nevertheless, suppose we can easily accomplish more than sleep longer. What if you can easliy sleep better?
NECTAR is here to assist. And they help with an uncomplicated quest. NECTAR states to be the most comfortable mattress, and that you will get the best sleep of your life, guaranteed. For a company that makes mattresses, it's fairly difficult to possess a more clear vision than that.
Maybe you hurt once you wake up each morning. NECTAR addresses this on several levels. It begins with implementing the most modern breakthroughs in mattress and fabric technologies, and also bringing those together in a singular product. And don't be worried about having to determine just what amount of firmness to purchase and hope that you selected properly. NECTAR has built their mattress to a level of firmness that stabilize the give and take of the entire body weight as you lay in different positions through the night, letting you have exactly the right degree of comfort and also support. So you can rest assured (no pun intended) that whichever posture you are lying in, it's the perfect one.
But there's a whole lot more to it than that. Perhaps you don't merely feel painful or uncomfortable after you get out of bed. Maybe your neck, spine, shoulders, hips, and/or lower limbs hurt. Not any more. Whenever you lay on your back, NECTAR mattress provides the right amount of firmness to support the natural curvature of your spine. When you lay on your side, you would like your spine to maintain a straight line. Other mattresses are either too firm, and they push against that natural curvature, or too soft as well as enable your spine sink an excessive amount. In either case, each are incorrect, as your spine is pressured in either case out of position. NECTAR is the solution to this concern, and the outcome are just as much of a breakthrough as the design of the mattress itself. NECTAR has definitely polished the level of firmness as well as support to a breakthrough amount.
There is an additional problem that comes about when mattresses don't breathe effectively too: moisture. Each time air flow doesn't circulate in a mattress, it accumulates moisture from the air that comes in however struggles to let it out. This drastically lowers the longevity of a mattress, due to the fact that the trapped moisture begins to make the substances in the mattress break down. In addition it dramatically reduces the comfort, considering the broken down components in the mattress do not perform as they should. The mattress results in being uncomfortable, and also remains uncomfortable over its dropped life span. What a waste!
NECTAR hasn't just engineered a breakthrough mattress that creates stunning comfort. They've equally built an excellent mattress that is definitely created from only the top material. You will find zero ozone depleters, PDDEs, TDCPP, mercury, and also lead. And not only are they more beneficial for you, but for the environment too. They are surely incredibly easily recycled, as well as earth friendly!
You will find two layers of Gel Memory Foam that assist to circulate the air, as well as perfectly distribute your weight as well as retain the natural contour of your body. These two layers are substantial helping aspects to the details mentioned prior. While you rest, your quality of sleep is now being supported by the best substances in the industry. I suppose that is certainly what happens whenever it is your vision is to create the best mattress. Period.
It is usually quite normal for comfort and quality to go together. Nevertheless they always accompany a cost. Well, usually. Though not now.
NECTAR gives you comfort and also support in keeping with mattresses that cost you $3,000-5,000+. With that high quality, perhaps you are absolutely hoping that they really are about half of that price, at around $2,000. Or perhaps you have your fingers crossed specifically hoping that they will be only $1,500. But don't stop reading here. Because you will not actually be spending that.
hey really do not cost $1,500 . They don't cost $1,000 . All of NECTAR mattresses get started in the $300's . Additionally they are all under $1,000 , even for a California King ! At that selling price , any person at your house could sleep much better for the cost of one traditional mattress .
We reside in a world that is consistently changing. NECTAR is a paradigm shift in the way a mattress is created. You see, mattresses have been around quite a while. And much like motor vehicles and residences, the way that one is manufactured now is different than it was ages before. Across almost all industries, people are frequently studying and making groundbreaking discoveries. From working on and additionally making use of new innovative substances, to bettering on a model or even ushering in a brand new one, the method that we perform things transforms over the years.
Traditional mattresses comprise of a set of box spring in addition to a mattress. The box springs go underneath the mattress, giving an extra layer of support to the mattress. The mattress is made from columns of coils all throughout to provide support. Then on top the coils is some kind of "topper". In the old days, this topper was made up of different varieties of stuffing or padding, as well as in newer days various layers of foam. There are many manufacturers which have been manufacturing mattresses for many years such as Serta, Sealy, Jamison, Sleep Number, as well as Amerisleep.
Indeed. And they are just as ground-breaking. But nevertheless I'll spare you the facts. I won't tell you they are a pillow that is just as innovative as their mattresses. I won't discuss the quilted memory foam outer shell. And I certainly won't talk about the Tencel cooling fabric and also active ventillation which means that you will be always sleeping on the cool side of the pillow. I am going to merely tell you that they are fantastic, and every much a breakthrough in pillows as their mattresses are.
The only way to know that you like anything would be to have a go for yourself.
Definitely. It's one thing when a product appears to be high-quality on paper or in a commercial, however it's another to honestly experience something for yourself. And with NECTAR, it is possible to. Not only does NECTAR deliver a wonderful value, they also back it with a wonderful guarantee.
But with NECTAR, the game has entirely changed. Because they will deliver it completely free to your home, and you can try it for a night. And you can try it out for a week. And you can give it a go for a month. Not to mention 2 months. And three months. Where am I going with this? With NECTAR, you can test it risk free for a year! You get a 365 night home trial. They deliver it to you for free. And if you are not 100% pleased, they will come and pick it up for free. But I doubt you will need them to.
There is no catch. There's just simply NECTAR. Well, there is certainly much more. There's a far better mattress with amazing value. There is certainly a new paradigm in making a mattress, with new technology at each and every turn. There is certainly the ease and comfort and also support which you deserve. There's pillows that maximizes the comfort from head to toe. There's remarkable quality as well as value. There is an amazing product, supported by an excellent guarantee. There is an end to the zombie apocalypse.

RGLD - Royal Gold Inc. is currently trading at $65.43. The April $65.00 Calls (RGLD20170422C00065000) are trading at $3.10. That provides a return of about 4% if RGLD is above $65.00 on expiration Friday in April.


Effective 17 Feb 2015, the only way to get the discounted bundle price for the ZBrush to KeyShot Bridge and KeyShot for ZBrush is to purchase both at the same time.
If you purchase only one and then realize later that you also need the other, you will need to pay regular price for the second item. We will no longer be able to provide a refund for the $100 difference. No new Support tickets (or Pixologic Store RMA Requests) for these requests will be honored.

Four local schools recently competed at the World Finals competition for Odyssey of the Mind (OM), a "brainy sport" that combines a high levels of various creative skills, including solutions-based script writing, a live 8 minute performance, art creation and engineering. The World Finals competition event was held this year at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa over Memorial Day break and hosted hundreds of State and Country champion teams from all over the world. The essence of the OM competition is in-depth creative problem solving focused on one of 5 chosen problems, with teams divided by grade level, which is based on the oldest student on a team (Division 1 is elementary, Division 2 is Middle School and Division 3 is High School). One of the unique aspects of competing in Odyssey of the Mind is the mantra "Absolutely NO Outside Assistance allowed," meaning only team members themselves can create original problem solving ideas, build structures, create artwork, etc. Family, friends, teachers and even their own Coach are forbidden from helping the team create any aspect of their solution and performance. In addition, all teams compete in what is called a "Spontaneous" session. This is where the team is placed in a room and given a hands-on or verbal problem to solve on the spot within a 3 or 5 minute time frame. Only Judges are allowed to be present in the room as they observe how creatively and cohesively the team works together to solve the on-the-spot problem.
THIS IS THE FIRST YEAR that 4 local schools earned spots to compete in the World Finals. The teams include Langley High School, two Cooper Middle School teams and one from Forestville Elementary. These teams earned first or second place at the Virginia State competition in April, with the Langley team winning the coveted "Ranatra Fusca" award for exceptional creativity in their problem solution.
The Division 3 Langley High School team competed in a problem named "Mockumentary, Seriously?", also known as the Classics problem, and placed 17th out of 60 US and International teams. The team recounted the classic Peter Pan story with a humorous twist in a live performance, including voice overs. An original set was created involving an artistic wooden structure to simulate Peter Pan flying, a handmade treasure chest with a working combination lock, an 8 foot articulating crocodile and costumes, all hand made using over 1,000 paint chip samples. This team had combined students from Langley HS, Cooper MS and the Langley school.
The Division 3 Langley High School team includes students Cassie Dallas, Macey Jacobs, Zoe Wang and Juliette Kim and was Coached by Jim Dallas.
The Division 3 Cooper Middle School team competed in a problem named "Triathlon Travels," also known as the Vehicle problem and placed 29th in the World Finals. The team designed and built a highly original human-powered vehicle, which two members rode in and navigated around a complex set of obstacles, while other members performed and narrated an entertainingly creative performance in unique hand made costumes. This team combined students from Cooper MS and Langley HS
The Division 3 Cooper team includes students Duncan Gibb, Colin Montie, Jackson Frankel, Marin George, and Sophia Montie and was Coached by Keith George.
The Division 2 Cooper Middle School team competed in a problem named "Animal House," also known as the Balsa wood building problem. The team designed a small structure entirely from balsa wood designed to hold as much weight as possible, while also performing a creative Egyptian-themed solution-based performance, which included a 7-foot Sphinx and a 6-foot Sarcophagus. At the State competition, the Cooper team's balsa structure held a whopping 974 pounds, which at the time was the highest weight held by any team in the U.S. this year. At the World Finals, the team finished in top 10, with their structure holding 790 pounds.
Cooper's Division 2 team includes students Nick Spoto, Katie Merrill, Raman Mathur, Connor Oakes, Mulan Pan, Natalie Hutchinson and Aliaa Saleh and was Coached by Mark Spoto.
THE DIVISION 1 Forestville team, competed in a problem called "Emoji, Speak for Yourself" and placed 16th out of 38 U.S. and International teams. This was this team's first time competing in OM, following a strong history of past Forestville OM teams. The team created 3 dimensional emojis and through an entertaining and moving performance communicated the life story of a once famous, but now forgotten, emoji. Their performance included choreographed dance, a unique robot that contained a team member, texting displays and sounds, all without any spoken language by team members.
Forestville's team includes students Yona Sankar, Zachary Ulman, Jibran Salam, Justin Kim, Allison Zhan, and Peter Popenko and was Coached by Uzma Salam.

"Hair inclined to be curley": prisoner Henry SMITH aka Clabby aka Cooper
Prisoner Henry CLABBY alias Cooper, 22 yrs old, and locally born ("native") in Tasmania was photographed by Thomas J. Nevin at the Hobart Gaol for the Municipal Police Office Hobart, between 4th-24th January 1874. This photograph of Henry Clabby was originally held at the QVMAG, numbered "142" on recto and transcribed verso in 1915 for display at convictarian John Watt Beattie's Port Arthur Museum, located in Hobart. It is now held at the TMAG Ref: Q15600. More than sixty photographs taken by government contractor Thomas J. Nevin in the 1870s of Tasmanian prisoners – or "convicts" as they are labelled in tourism discourse – are held at The Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery. See 56 copies from the TMAG Collection, acquired by this weblog in 2015. Unlike the majority of those prisoner mugshots mounted as cdvs from the QVMAG and TMAG collections which show verso evidence of having been pasted to paper or cardboard and then removed, this cdv of Henry Clabby is clean apart from the curator's number recto "142", suggesting it was reprinted in recent times, or even composed entirely as a new artefact for exhibition in the late 20th century. … More "Hair inclined to be curley": prisoner Henry SMITH aka Clabby aka Cooper
Good reading for The Kid 1921 : Tasmanian police gazettes
In 1884, the Colonial Government of Tasmania changed the name of its weekly police gazette to Tasmania Police Gazette for Police Information Only. The cover of each issue prior to 1884 was headed Tasmania Reports of Crime For Police Information (and the alternative – Information for Police) which was published by the government printer James Barnard dating back to its first appearance in 1861 … More Good reading for The Kid 1921 : Tasmanian police gazettes
Prisoner Elijah ELTON aka John Jones and 'Flash Jack'
The prisoner whose identity was established by police as Elijah ELTON had many aliases. He was transported in 1842 as Elisha NELMES per Emily 1. He was sought on warrant with the aliases Thomas TURNER and John JONES. He was incarcerated and discharged as Elijah ELTON from 1865-1879. The birth of his daughter Mary Elisha to Sarah Ann Brown formerly Clark was registered with his full name as father in 1862 (see Addendum below). But when he died of cancer of the tongue on 31st May 1883 (at 64 yrs old) his death was registered at the New Town Pauper Establishment with the name Elisha NELMES, the alias by which he was originally known when transported to VDL back in 1842 (Archives Office Tasmania RGD35-1-10P111) .His nickname was Flash Jack. He was not known to police over the two decades of his criminal career by the name of BROCKLEHURST – see this photograph and police records for James Jones aka Spider. This alias and this moniker were used by an entirely different prisoner called James JONES. … More Prisoner Elijah ELTON aka John Jones and 'Flash Jack'
Prisoner James JONES alias Brocklehurst, known as Spider
Three duplicates or copies are extant in public collections from T. J. Nevin's original negative taken of prisoner James Jones alias James Brocklehurst at the Hobart Gaol in late February 1875 on Jones' discharge. This prisoner James Jones aka James Brocklehurst, known by the moniker "Spider" is not to be confused with the prisoner Elijah Elton, transported as Elisha Nelmes, who used the alias "John Jones" and was known by the moniker "Flash Jack", an error which has appeared on the National Library of Australia catalogue entry … More Prisoner James JONES alias Brocklehurst, known as Spider
Convict Carte No. 1: George WHITE aka NUTT
The database image with verso at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery: note that the verso is inscribed with the conventional date of Nevin's photographic registration (1874), the alias, and the ship on which Nutt was originally transported before 1853, but the transcription which appears on many other versos of convicts' cartes – "Taken at Port Arthur" – is absent. Nevin may have photographed Nutt at Port Arthur between 23rd February and 8th May 1874; the former date being another sentence for Nutt for breaking the cell while trying to escape, the latter being one of the dates on which Nevin attended Port Arthur on police business. He was absent from Hobart when his father-in-law Captain James Day registered the birth of Thomas James Nevin jnr in May 1874. … More Convict Carte No. 1: George WHITE aka NUTT


We came across Troubles with Bubbles (New Readers Series) book at the library. It was CJ who wanted to bring the book home because of the pink bubbles on the front cover. After reading we found the book was fun to read too. The phrases are simple and repetitive, appealing an early reader. CJ almost memorized the book and she reads it to me.
The Zoo animals in the book are playing in a playground. As the animals get dirty, they go to the zookeeper single or in a group and they tell him that they are dirty and want to be clean. The zookeeper gives them a soap and towel, asks them to scrub with soap and water. At the end, all the animals are in one big tub covered with bubbles. The zoo keeper sprays water on them until they are clean.
It's also a counting book. In the first page we have ten zoo animals. The animals go to the zoo keeper in the increasing order, first the monkey, second batch - lion and the tiger, third batch - Giraffe, Ostrich and Snake, Fourth batch - Rhino, Elephant, Bear, Crane.
The animals either use the phrase "I am dirty. I want to be clean" or "We are dirty. We want to be clean"
The zoo keeper repeats the phrase "Go to the tub and scrub with soap and water"
The illustrator provides a clever hint of the trouble, as each animal uses soap, more and more bubbles creep across the pages and it becomes obvious that there is some trouble with the bubbles.
What other project would go with this book, better than washing the soft toys, CJ's animal friends!
We took a Dish tub and filled it with water. I added few drops of body wash and Let CJ mix/whisk the body wash with the water.
I Dusted the dust off the toys using a plain Kitchen tissue. Using a Scrub, I asked CJ to apply foam on the Soft toys and scrub them clean.
CJ thought Curious George needed a Bath tub to sit and anyway that way the soap wont get on the floor too. So I gave her one more plastic tub.
We wiped off the foam from the toys using kitchen tissue and then we gave them a wash by dipping them in plain water. Dried the soft toys using towels and finally we dried them in the dryer. If you are washing your soft toys, prior to putting the toy within the dryer/washing device, check for instructions and warnings on the soft toy's label. All of our toys had dry wash label but we took the risk of washing and drying in the dryer.
How do you clean your soft toys?
Oh my two would LOVE giving all their toys a good clean... in fact, they would probably clean the whole floor and themselves too!
Thank you for joining Kids Get Crafty!!
I know some kids that would love this one too! Thanks for sharing!!
I will remember these things before cleaning up the toys.. Thanks for sharing..

CROMWELL, Thomas (c.1540-c.1611), of King's Lynn, Norf.
GRAMPOUND
b. c.1540, 3rd s. of Gregory, 1st Baron Cromwell, by Elizabeth, da. of Sir John Seymour of Wilts., wid. of Sir Anthony Ughtred. Half-bro. of Henry Ughtred. educ. St. John's, Camb. 1553. m. Aug. 1580, Katherine (d.1615 or 1616), da. of Thomas Gardner of Coxford, 5s. 4da.1
Cromwell's father was connected with Sir William Cecil, whom he described in his will as 'my especial and singular good lord', and it may have been Cecil who found Cromwell his seats at Fowey, Bodmin and Grampound, possibly by arrangement with the 2nd Earl of Bedford at Fowey and Bodmin. His return at Preston in 1584 is accounted for by the patronage of Sir Ralph Sadler, chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster, who was brought up in the household of Cromwell's grandfather, Thomas, Earl of Essex. Cromwell has been described as 'the model type of parliamentarian, deeply versed in the history and procedure of the institution, though ... lacking in historical perspective; eminently responsible, but fearless in defence of liberty'. He was a puritan but his zeal did not cloud his judgment which, with his knowledge of procedure, rendered him one of the most experienced committeemen of his time. He served on nearly 100 committees, and wrote journals covering the sessions of Parliament in 1572, 1576, 1581 and 1584, now in the library of Trinity College, Dublin. In 1571 Cromwell sat on only two committees: concerning a legal matter (12 May) and fugitives (25 May). In 1572 he was appointed to committees on Middlesex jurors (19, 22 May), a private bill 21 May), vagabonds (22, 29 May), and the Lords committee on Mary Queen of Scots (9 June). On 30 May he spoke in favour of including minstrels within the provisions of the vagabonds bill. It is the second session of this long Parliament, however, that marks the beginning of his particularly active period as a committeeman. He served on at least 11 committees in 1576, concerning the avoiding of idleness (11 Feb.), a private bill (14 Feb.), sheriffs (18, 24 Feb.), naturalisation (3 Mar.), benefit of clergy (7 Mar.), rogues (7 Mar.), wharves and quays (13 Mar.), relief of vicars (13 Mar.) and Lord Stourton's bill (13 Mar.). Cromwell spoke (21 Jan. 1581) in support of Paul Wentworth's motion for a public fast and daily preaching. On as Jan. he spoke against a bill concerning children born in England of alien parents. He served on or more committees during this session concerning the following topics: forgery (26 Jan., 11 Feb.), slanderous practices (1 Feb., 17 Mar.), sheriffs (4 Feb.) copyholders in Worcestershire (6 Feb., reported by him 13 Feb.), Arthur Hall (6 Feb.), children of aliens (7 Feb.), private bills (14, 20 Feb., 14, 17 Mar.), legal matters (11, 14, 20, 27 Feb., 10 Mar.), sowing hemp seed in Hertfordshire (23 Feb.), wax (24 Feb.), privileges and returns (24 Feb., 8 Mar.), the Family of Love (27 Feb.), Ledbury hospital (4 Mar.), the Queen's safety (14 Mar.) and navigation (17 Mar.). On 18 Mar. 1581 he reported the progress of the committee appointed to clarify the question of returns in this last session. In 1584 Cromwell was mainly preoccupied with legal matters, serving on 12 such committees (1, 4, 12, 16, 18 Dec., 10 Feb. 1585, 2, 5, 10, 12, 13, 19 Mar.). He was also appointed to committees to consider the Arthur Hall case (21 Dec.), a private bill (15 Dec.), religious matters (19 Dec.), privilege (11, 23 Feb., 2 Mar.), procedure (3 Mar.), highways (9 Mar.), Devonshire cloth (16 Mar.), the government of the city of Westminster (17, 22 Mar.), and apprentices (23 Mar.). In 1586 Cromwell was appointed to the committee to examine the Norfolk returns on 9 Nov., which he reported on 11 Nov. On 2 Dec. he was appointed to the committee to examine Arthur Hall and again was chosen to report to the House on 20 Mar. 1587. He introduced a motion on 15 Feb. 1587 to thank the Queen for responding to their petition to execute Mary Stuart; and on 13 Mar., after the imprisonment of the extreme puritan Members who had supported Cope's 'bill and book', Cromwell moved 'to have some conference with the Privy Council of this House', and with others concerning the Members committed to the Tower: the House appointed a committee, for which Cromwell prepared with great thoroughness, searching for precedents to show that the Queen had no right to imprison Peter Wentworth and the others. The principal liberties, he claimed, were those of the body and of speech, and a Member ought not to be withdrawn from his service. He also tried to show that 'by ancient practice' the Commons themselves punished offending Members. He served on committees in this Parliament concerning Mary Queen of Scots (4 Nov.), Orford harbour (7 Nov., 6 Mar. 1587), legal matters (27 Feb., 15, 20 Mar.), privilege (6 Mar.), private bills (13, 15 Mar.), cloth in Suffolk (16 Mar.) and sheriffs (17 Mar.). Cromwell was once more very active in 1589, reporting the progress of committees for the purveyors bill (15 Feb.), Orford harbour (24 Feb.), captains and soldiers (26 Feb., 3 Mar.), New Romney returns (3 Mar.), perfecting of statutes (22 Mar.) and serving on committees concerning privileges and returns (7, 8 Feb.), benefit of clergy (10 Feb.), the subsidy (11 Feb.), private bills (12 Feb., 18, 19 Mar.), purveyors (15, 27 Feb., 18 Mar.), forestallers and regrators (17 Feb., 5 Mar.), the repeal of statutes (25 Feb., 13 Mar.), captains and soldiers (26 Feb.), the bishopric of Oxford (13 Mar.), Berwick (14 Mar.), outlawries (20 Mar.) and excess in apparel (21 Mar.).2
Cromwell was several times appointed by the Privy Council to intervene in Norfolk affairs and quarrels. He acted as steward of North Elmham for his brother Henry, 2nd Baron Cromwell, and later for his nephew, Edward, 3rd Baron Cromwell, who was in debt. When Cromwell retired, he went to his lands near King's Lynn, making his will on 17 Feb. 1610. He describes himself as 'of great age and very often subject to sickness and pains'. He did not wish for any 'pomp or sumptuousness' to be used at his funeral, 'being not willing to have vanities continued for me after my death, whereto I have been too much subject in my lifetime'. His executrix was Katherine, 'who has always been a most loving wife ... and hath besides endured many griefs and sorrows for my sake'. Perhaps this is a reference to her Catholic relatives. Her brother was Bernard Gardner, S.J., condemned in 1602, and her half-brother Richard Cornwallis, the priest, son of Henry Cornwallis†. Cromwell's estate was 'inspired by evil debtors, losses sustained by death of cattle and sheep, bad bargains and my neglecting of mine own business for the following of the business of my brother and nephew'. He left 20s. to the poor of Great Risborough, Norfolk, and 40s. to the poor of the parish where he died. He left property and money to his wife and to his children subject to their good behaviour and obedience to their mother. He died between February 1610 and April 1611.3

It is no coincidence that the decades-long stagnation of American wages began with the onset of mass immigration. In 1970, the foreign-born population of the United States was 9.6 million people; today it is 44 million. What we are witnessing is the law of supply and demand at work – and it is clearly not working in favor of American workers.
(August 20, 2018, Washington, D.C.) — A new national digital ad campaign by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) shines a light on one important reason why today's American workers are no better off than their grandparents were: mass, uncontrolled immigration.
Despite historically low unemployment, wages for American workers remain stagnant. In fact, a new Pew Research study finds that for most workers, wages are exactly where they were in 1974. That's 44 years without a raise!
FAIR's new ad campaign, "For wages to rise, immigration must fall," points out that powerful business interests have used mass immigration as a means of depressing wages for decades, thus excluding most Americans from sharing in the impressive economic growth of the U.S. economy.
Ahead of the midterm elections in which politicians of all stripes are vowing to go to bat for embattled American workers, FAIR's ad campaign is aimed at forcing them to address the enormous impact of mass immigration on wages. "No politician can truly claim to be a champion for American workers while defending immigration policies that obliterate the leverage those workers might have to improve their wages and share in their nation's prosperity. FAIR's ad campaign drives home the point that enforcing immigration laws and reducing overall immigration levels is essential to ensuring that American workers don't go another 44 years without a raise," Stein concluded.

Save/Load tab needs work as game often takes you back to the very beginning of a mission even though you have died at almost the very end of a mission. Activating a SAVE often fails, forcing you to start over! NEVER wanted a refund from years of buying games...EXCEPT for this game.
Graphics are improved. Game would be twice as much fun if the number of keystrokes were doubled to play the game. Press a key for your left foot moving forward then a key to move your right foot...Drill Instructors would appreciate that! Shifting weight from one leg to another would be helpful keystrokes with keys for different stances weight shifting.
You guys are real "cute" with your attacks and "opinions" on what my FIRST IMPRESSIONS are. Your trolling does not change the fact that so far the sound, textures, game play and graphics are inferior to almost any major title of the last few years. As an experienced game tester your criticism of me doesn't change the reality of knowing a great game WHEN I see one!
Have read through the first impressions posts and am astounded! Most everyone raving on how great the quality of this game. My first impression is that this game is very disappointing. Understanding that the game is expected (hopefully) to be much improved when released the missions, graphics quality, textures, lighting, animations and poor sound quality seem very dated for the technology of 2013! The breathing sounds are good when sprinting or wounded, however. Have paid my money and am hoping to eat my words.
Did...wouldn't be asking if I had found an answer...appears YOU have no help available.

Podcast: The Screenwriters of Friends With Benefits Break It Down
Jenna Milly
Mila Kunis and Justin Timberlake in Friends With Benefits
What do you do if you find out someone else is writing the exact same script you are? At the same time? You push forward, stay passionate, and keep focused on what you're writing. "We didn't have a strategy other than to give it our very best," says David A. Newman, co-writer of Friends With Benefits, the romantic comedy starring Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis. Newman co-wrote the film with his writing partner Keith Merryman and director Will Gluck.
Out July 22, the film is about a couple who decides having sex is better than trying to commit, a plot similar to the afore-referenced Ashton Kutcher-starrer No Strings Attached. But what's different about Friends With Benefits is how the writers approached the material: "Part of our goal, in a weird way, was to write an anti-romantic comedy," says Merryman. Did they succeed? Script sat down with Newman and Merryman to discuss character, plot, romantic comedies, and getting the job done, no matter who else is working on a similar script.
Podcast highlights include:
"The minute we thought of the idea, we knew it was going to be something big."
"If you're just about the work, you cannot go wrong."
"If the comedy comes from character, it'll be more satisfying."
"Find your voice; find your truth within your characters."

front-line conservation
the sixth wave of mass extinctions
Address: via Primo Settembre 14, 50014, Fiesole, Firenze (Florence), Italia (Italy)
E m a i l :
I am an ecologist and conservation practitioner specialized in critically endangered animal species, protected areas management, marine biology, ornithology and traditional ecological knowledge.
During the past 23 years I have worked in four continents, mostly in developing countries, on the frontline where nature is devastated and species are vanishing.
I have worked for international organizations (UN, EU, SPREP) and for international NGOs (IUCN, BirdLife) -and quite often as a volunteer.
Born in Florence in 1968, since early childhood I experienced a deep and special connection with nature and wildlife. From the teen age up to mid Nineties I have been an activist for LIPU (BirdLife Italy) and for Greenpeace Italy.
Obtained a M.Sc in behavioural ecology and marine biology at the University of Florence in 1993, I went on with a Ph.D in the same field (1997) with data collected over 3 years along the Chilean coast.
Subsequently I have carried out two postdoc researches: one at UC Berkeley (California, USA) in surveying and monitoring terrestrial predators (1997-1998) and another one with the National Wildlife Institute (Italy) in surveying and monitoring threatened seabirds in the Tuscany Archipelago (1999-2000).
From year 2000 I quit the research career to focus on frontline nature conservation through international aid. In 2018 I returned to Florence with my young family (kids aged 5 and 7). I still work in conservation and international aid as a consultant; and as a volunteer I still support NGOs on top of raising the awareness of public opinion and school students about the current global ecological crisis and the sixth wave of mass extinctions of wildlife.

SCOTUS Hears Oral Argument on Whether NLRA Preempts State Court Lawsuits Against Unions for Property Damage Caused During Labor Disputes
by Bianca Rodriguez, Keahn Morris, John Bolesta and James Hays
The new year begins with one of the most anticipated labor cases on the high court's docket in decades. On January 10, 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral argument in Glacier Northwest, Inc. v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local Union No. 174 to decide whether the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA" or the "Act") preempts state court lawsuits for tort damages caused by unions during strikes. Employers should gain much greater clarity into whether they can seek relief from such conduct via a damages lawsuit. If the U.S. Supreme Court finds that such conduct is not preem ..read more
Buyer Beware: Delaware Declines to Enforce Sale of Business Non-Compete
by Kevin Cloutier, Stephen LaSala, Shawn D. Fabian and Umar Sattar
Courts and state legislatures continue to take aim at post-employment non-competes. In a companion blog, we recently detailed the Federal Trade Commission's proposed rule banning post-employment non-competes. However, for years (and even under the FTC's overreaching proposed rule), non-competes in the sale of business context have generally received less scrutiny. The Delaware Chancery Court threw the deal world a curveball when it recently declined to enforce a sale of business non-compete. In Kodiak Building Partners, LLC v Adams, the Delaware Chancery Court ruled that a non-compet ..read more
What the Third Circuit's Looming Decision Regarding Whether College Athletes Can Constitute "Employees" Will Mean for Universities and Employers of Unpaid Student Interns
by Babak Yousefzadeh and Skyler Hicks
The Third Circuit is expected to soon make a decision as to whether student-athletes can be considered university "employees" under the Fair Labor Standards Act ("FLSA"). But its interpretation of the law might reverberate beyond the confines of college sports and could implicate whether unpaid student interns must also be treated as employees. In late 2019, Ralph Johnson, a former Villanova University football player, initiated a class action in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Johnson et al. v. National Collegiate Athletic Association et al., asserting that student-athletes in Penn ..read more
California Labor Commissioner Issues FAQs Clarifying Pay Transparency Law
by Dimiana Saad
As we previously reported here last fall, California enacted a pay transparency law (SB 1162) requiring employers with 15 or more employees to disclose pay scales in job postings beginning January 1, 2023. The Labor Commissioner recently issued guidance in the form of FAQs to address some of the unanswered questions regarding the interpretation and enforcement of the California Equal Pay Act. The law expands pay data reporting requirements for California employers with 100 or more employees, and requires employers with 15 or more employees to include the "pay scale" for a position in any job p ..read more
New Jersey Legislature Passes Bill to Set the Effective Date of Amendments to the New Jersey WARN Act
by Sean Kirby and Wolfram Ott*
On December 19, 2022, the New Jersey Legislature passed a bill that, if signed by Governor Phil Murphy, would amend the effective date of amendments to the Millville Dallas Airmotive Plant Job Loss Notification Act ("NJ WARN") that were originally passed in January of 2020. Those amendments were previously paused as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and under that pause would take effect 90 days after Governor Murphy's Executive Order No. 103 expired. Because Executive Order No. 103 remains in effect, without any indication of when it may expire, the New Jersey Legislature passed th ..read more
FTC Seeks to Ban Noncompete Agreements in Employment Contracts
by John Carroll, Leo Caseria, Thomas Dillickrath, Bevin Newman, Jake Walker, Kevin Cloutier and Stephen Fox
On January 5, 2023, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") announced a broad proposed rule that would ban employers from imposing noncompete clauses on their workers. The FTC press release announcing the proposed rule states that noncompete clauses—which apply to about one in five American workers—suppress wages, hamper innovation, block entrepreneurs from starting new businesses and reduce American workers' earnings between $250 billion and $296 billion per year.[1] The proposed rule would prohibit employers from: (1) entering into or attempting to enter into a noncompete with a worker; (2) mai ..read more
Governor Hochul Signs New York Pay Transparency Bill Into Law
by Lindsay Colvin Stone
On December 21, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul signed S.9427-A/A.10477 (the "New York Pay Transparency Law" or "NYPTL"), a pay transparency law that will affect most employers who do business in the state of New York. The New York Pay Transparency Law will take effect on September 18, 2023. The New York Pay Transparency Law amends the New York Labor Law to require covered employers to include the following information in advertisements for internal and external "job, promotion, or transfer opportunities": The compensation or range of compensation (defined as "the minimum and maximum annual ..read more
Ring in the New Year With a Refresher on COVID-19 Regulations and Laws
by Luke Bickel and Robert Foster
As the end of the year draws near, it is important for employers in California to remember there are multiple COVID-19 regulations and laws that will still apply to the workplace in 2023. The Division of Occupational Safety and Health of California's ("Cal/OSHA") constantly evolving COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard ("ETS") that has been in effect for the last two years is finally expiring. However, the ETS will be replaced by Cal/OSHA's new COVID-19 Prevention Non-Emergency Regulations ("Permanent Standard"), which will remain in effect through 2024. This article provides a comprehen ..read more
President Biden Signs "Speak Out Act" Limiting the Enforceability of Non-Disclosure and Non-Disparagement Provisions in Sexual Harassment Cases
by Rachel Moroski and Tomi Oshita
On December 7, 2022, President Biden signed the Speak Out Act (the "Act") into law. The Act limits the enforceability of pre-dispute non-disclosure and non-disparagement clauses relating to sexual assault and sexual harassment claims, but does not prohibit such provisions in settlement agreements or severance agreements. Scope The Act prohibits the enforcement of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) and non-disparagement clauses between employers and employees and independent contractors, and between goods and services providers and consumers, that were in place before a sexual assault or har ..read more
New Year, New Rules for Employers Doing Business in New York in 2023
Last year New York state and local legislatures implemented a number of employment laws and ordinances that are set to take effect in 2023. This update summarizes these new legal requirements to help New York employers prepare for 2023. Paid Family Leave 2023 will see some important changes to New York's Paid Family Leave program because New York has greatly expanded the family members covered under the program.

Memoirs of John Horne Tooke: Volume 1: Interspersed with Original Documents - Cambridge Library Collection - British & Irish History, 17th & 18th Centuries (Paperback)
Alexander Stephens (author)
Equally revered and reviled, the radical John Horne Tooke (1736-1812) enjoyed a well-deserved reputation as a political firebrand. Having attended Eton and St John's College, Cambridge, he explored careers in the church and law before finally gaining recognition as a vehement advocate of political reform. This acclaimed two-volume biography by Alexander Stephens (1757-1821) was published in 1813, incorporating personal correspondence and presenting its subject as 'a firm friend to the laws and liberties of his native country'. Volume 1 covers the period 1736-77 and leads the reader from Horne's birth, education and ordination through to his early defence of John Wilkes and the foundation of the Society of Gentleman Supporters of the Bill of Rights. During this period, Horne published The Petition of an Englishman (1765) as well as stinging letters in the Oxford Magazine. This volume concludes with an account of Horne's infamous trial and imprisonment for libel.

RTS Svet (alphabet cyrillique : РТС Свет) est une chaîne de télévision généraliste publique serbe à diffusion internationale appartenant à la Radio Télévision de Serbie.

Histoire

RT Beograd Sat commence à émettre le , alors que la Serbie est toujours une république fédérée de Yougoslavie. La télévision yougoslave choisit la compagnie Eutelsat pour diffuser le signal de sa chaîne internationale. Après l'éclatement de la Yougoslavie, la Serbie récupère les capacités satellitaires de l'ancienne JRT (Jugoslavija Radio Televizija, dont dépendait RT Beograd). Rebaptisée RTS (Radio Televizija Srbije) le , elle propose dès lors un programme spécifique, destiné à la diaspora serbe, qui émet pendant plusieurs années sur Eutelsat 1F3 (10°Est), avant de passer sur Hot Bird (13°Est), satellite plus puissant et couvrant une zone de diffusion plus large. À l'origine, la chaîne n'émet que quelques heures par jour, en soirée, étendant progressivement son temps d'antenne à la fin des années 1990.

Le , en pleine guerre du Kosovo, un raid de l'Otan prend pour cible le quartier général de la RTS. Cette dernière est en effet accusée d'être un instrument de propagande au service du président Slobodan Milošević. Pendant plusieurs jours, la chaîne satellitaire serbe est dans l'incapacité de transmettre ses programmes. Cet événement, et sur décision politique, fera cesser la diffusion des émissions de la chaîne sur le territoire européen car l'opérateur Eutelsat était alors un consortium européen régi par un traité intergouvernemental. Quelques mois plus tard, dans l'après-midi du , le bâtiment de la RTS est pris d'assaut par des manifestants, sans qu'aucune image des événements en cours ne soient reprises par la télévision d'état. Quelques heures plus tard, les studios sont investis. La transmission est coupée et reprend dans la soirée : cependant, le pouvoir a changé de main. Des images de la « révolution » passent en boucle et un nouveau logo vient rappeler ce fait : pendant quelques semaines, on ne parle plus de « RTS » mais de « Nova RTS » (nouvelle RTS).

En 2009, RTS Sat (Satelitski program RTS-a, en alphabet cyrillique : Сателитски програм РТС-а), jusqu'alors uniquement disponible en Europe, commence à être diffusée en Amérique du Sud et en Australie. Le , RTS Sat commence à être diffusée sur le satellite Astra 1KR à 19,2°Est. Après une période de double illumination, elle cesse d'être reprise par Hot Bird le  juin de cette même année. En Europe, RTS Svet, nouveau nom de RTS Sat, et Radio Beograd 1 ne sont désormais plus disponibles que via Astra 3B, un satellite positionné à 23,5°Est.

Programmes
RTS Svet émet 24 heures sur 24. Sa grille des programmes met principalement l'accent sur l'information, la culture et le divertissement. Reprenant des programmes issus des deux principales chaînes nationales du pays, RTS-1 et RTS-2, dont une partie en simultané (programmation parfois similaire à RTS-1), elle a pour ambition d'être un lien entre les Serbes de la diaspora et ceux restés « au pays ». Sa grille des programmes, caractéristique des chaînes généralistes, comprend des journaux télévisés (Dnevnik), des séries, de la musique, des magazines, des jeux télévisés et des émissions politiques.

Parmi les programmes phares de la chaîne figurent, de 6 heures à 9 heures, « Jutarnji program » (Programme du matin), mêlant informations pratiques, journaux télévisés et chroniques, le magazine « Ovo je Srbija  » (C'est la Serbie) ou encore les principales éditions du « Dnevnik » (Journal télévisé).

Diffusion
RTS Svet, longtemps diffusée en Europe centrale et occidentale par les satellites Eutelsat, a été brièvement reprise par le satellite Astra 1KR, positionné à 19,2°Est et le satellite Eutelsat 16A (16° Est) aux côtés des chaînes croates, slovènes, kosovares et macédoniennes. Depuis le mois d', elle a rejoint le satellite Astra 3B, positionné à 23,5°Est, dans le cadre d'un bouquet serbe comprenant les principales chaînes de la RTS. Elle est diffusée en clair et peut de ce fait être reçue par tout terminal numérique. Elle peut également être reçue gratuitement en Amérique du Nord par l'intermédiaire du satellite Galaxy 19 (97°O) et en Océanie par l'intermédiaire du satellite Intelsat 19 (166°E)

Recently, I was out with a group of friends, dancing our lil hearts out and pretending we aren't all very, very lost 20-somethings trying to FIND OUR WAY IN LIFE. A group of guys approached us, like I-CAN'T-BREATHE-YOU-ARE-SO-CUTE looking guys. I started sharing facts about Great White sharks because, you know, that's a thing?
But my friends are smooth as hell. It's insane, and I was always a little envious. How do they know when to stop talking? Meanwhile, I'm over here like, "Oh you want my number? Cool, cool, coooool, anyways hammerhead sharks are really interesting, don't you think?" But you know what? I'M EMBRACING IT, and if you're an awkward babe, you should to. HERE'S WHY!
Sexiness, while totally awesome and more power to ya for it, is kind of intimidating. I'd be terrified to go up to Beyoncé, but Zooey Deschanel? Yeah, I just know we could kick it on my couch and do weird impressions together.
Adorkable is such a thing now that it's in the dictionary (okay, I don't really know, but maybe?). We're so often afraid of being real with one another and show our *truuu selves* but guess what? People usually dig it. It's reassuring to know what you see is EXACTLY what you get.
And by better, I mean objectively waaay worse. But when you are breaking it down on the dance floor with some weird version of the robot, at least you're bringing some serious entertainment. HEY, YOU BRING JOY!!!???!
You're basically an entire genre of pop culture. And 9/10 times, everyone is on your side. Not sure Michael Cera would even have a career if this wasn't the case.
Oh, you want me to wing-woman you because it'll inevitably make you look WAY cooler when I stand there and talk about how much I miss playing The Sims for 15 minutes? Word. I'm there.
If you're ever on a talk show for some reason and they ask about a seriously embarrassing moment, you will have your DAMN PICK. Humor is the best defense, so you know you can laugh your way through anything. And babe, you're going to have to do it…a lot.

2020 will be one of the hottest years on record, say Met Office
The Met Office annual global temperature forecast for 2020 suggests that next year will once again extend the series of the earth's hottest years, since records began in 1850.
The series of warmest years began in 2015; the first year when global temperatures exceeded 1.0 °C above the pre-industrial period (1850-1900).
The warmest year on record was in 2016, when significant El Niño-related warming in the tropical Pacific boosted the global temperature.
2020 is projected to be another very warm year, but this time without a strong El Niño signal.
The Met Office forecasts the global average temperature for 2020 to be between 0.99 °C and 1.23 °C – with a central estimate of 1.11 °C – above the pre-industrial average period from 1850–1900.
Since 1850, 2016 was the warmest year on record with a central estimate of 1.16 °C above the same baseline.
In the absence of strong El Niño-induced warming in the Pacific, rising levels of greenhouse gases are driving the 2020 temperature forecast.
Professor Adam Scaife is the Met Office head of long-range prediction.

He said: "Natural events – such as El Niño-induced warming in the Pacific – influence the climate system, but in the absence of El Niño, this forecast gives a clear picture of the strongest factor causing temperatures to rise: greenhouse gas emissions."
The forecast is based on the key drivers of the global climate, but it doesn't include unpredictable events, such as a large volcanic eruption, which would cause a temporary cooling.
Dr Nick Dunstone, an expert in climate variability at the Met Office, said: "Although the Earth has warmed by about 1.0 °C on average since pre-industrial times, this isn't spread evenly over the surface of the globe as much of the warming is occurring in the Arctic and over land masses.
This was a feature of climate change that was predicted at the time of the launch of the Met Office Hadley Centre and the publication of the first IPCC report thirty years ago."
The Met Office's forecast for the 2019 global mean temperature, issued at the end of 2018 (0.98 °C to 1.22 °C with a central estimate of 1.10 °C), agrees closely with the latest observations of global temperature so far this year.
Data from Jan-Oct 2019 shows the global mean temperature is 1.11±0.10 °C above pre-industrial levels.
Dr Doug Smith, Met Office research fellow, said: "The forecast for 2020 would place next year amongst the six warmest years on record, which would all have occurred since 2015. All of these years have been around 1.0 °C warmer than the pre-industrial period."
