UNESCO'S Anti-Israel Bias
A resolution on Jerusalem that will fuel anti-Jewish incitement and violence.
October 31, 2016 by Joseph Puder Leave a Comment
If anyone doubted the fact that the United Nations agencies harbored a deep-seated anti-Israel and anti-Jewish animus, the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) vote on Jerusalem proved it. The UNESCO World Heritage Committee voted this week (October 26, 2016) on a resolution dealing with Jerusalem, drafted by the Palestinian and Jordanian delegations, and submitted by Kuwait, Lebanon and Tunisia (all Arab Muslim states). The Executive Committee of UNESCO approved (10 for, 2 opposed, 8 abstained, and 1 missing) the resolution that was already voted on earlier this month in which 24 member-states approved the resolution; (Algeria, Bangladesh, Brazil, Cuba, Chad, Dominican Republic, Egypt, Iran, Lebanon, Malaysia, Morocco, Mauritius, Mexico, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan and Vietnam) 6 opposed (Estonia, Germany, Lithuania, The Netherlands, UK, and the U.S.). Among the abstaining 26 states were Argentina, France, Greece, India, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka and Sweden.
The resolution "deeply decries the continuous Israeli aggressions against civilians including Islamic religious figures and priests, decries the forceful entering into the different mosques and historic buildings, and into Muslim holy sites by Israelis, including employees of "the so-called 'Israeli Antiquities.'" Israel is urged to "end these aggressions and abuses which inflame the tension on the ground and between faiths."
According to Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, a Geneva-based watchdog organization, the resolution, which is likely to be adopted, "Dangerously risks fueling anti-Jewish incitement and violence, and legitimizing the escalating Palestinian denial of Jewish and cultural rights." Neuer added that, "This inflammatory narrative, praised last week by Hamas, rewards the past year's relentless Palestinian stabbing and shooting attacks in Jerusalem and other parts of Israel, which we mustn't forget, began with false claims that Israel was planning to damage the holy Muslim Shrines."
The expected resolution mentions eleven times "Al-Haram Al-Sharif," (the Muslim designation) to what Jews call Har Ha'bayit, the holiest shrine in Judaism (where the Temple of Solomon stood) and also known as Temple Mount. With the Islamic bloc controlling the largest voting bloc in the UN, it is no wonder that a resolution of this kind can be approved. (OIC- Organization of Islamic Cooperation, being the largest and most influential bloc at the UN, it might as well declare that the earth is flat, and it will garner a majority vote at the General Assembly or its other UN constituent agencies.) What this resolution effectively does to Jerusalem is to Islamize sites historically belonging to other faiths.
The latest draft does not describe the Western Wall as the most hallowed remains of the Jewish Holy Temple destroyed by the Romans in 70CE, but as "The Western Wall of Al Aqsa Mosque, in a blatant effort to erase the Jewish heritage and biblical truth, and as part of a campaign to Islamize the site. It shamelessly disregards the fact that Jewish worshippers have prayed at the Wall for over two thousand years. The language of the draft resolution continues the deliberate attempt by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to deny the Jewish historical connection to the Land of Israel in general and to Jerusalem in particular. Mahmoud Abbas has continued on the path of denial that Arafat initiated at Camp David.
Among the charges brought up by the PA and the other Arab-Muslim states for undertaking the resolution is that the Jerusalem light rail, which is used daily by thousands of Arab residents of Jerusalem, is having a "damaging effect on the "visual integrity" and the "authentic character" of the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. Yet the rail tracks pass through an existing highway and facilitates effective transportation for visitors of all faiths.
Preceding the shameless resolution and the vote that took place in the Paris headquarters of UNESCO, Israel's president, Reuven Rivlin stated at an event in his Jerusalem residence, "No forum or body in the world can come and deny the connection between the Jewish people, the Land of Israel and Jerusalem – and any such body that does so simply embarrasses itself. We can understand criticism, but you cannot change history."
UNESCO's Director General, Irina Bokova and the Chairman of UNESCO's Executive Board, Michael Worbs, expressed displeasure and apologized for the resolution. In an interview with Israeli TV Channel 10 on October 14, 2016 (the day following the vote), Worbs said he hoped that the Board's Tuesday meeting will be delayed in order to reach consensus on the resolution before a formal vote. Bokova, on her part, expressed her dismay at the resolution, saying that efforts to deny history and the City's (Jerusalem) complex multi-faith character, harms UNESCO.
Earlier, in July, 2016 Bokova stated that, "The heritage of Jerusalem is indivisible, and each of its communities have a right to the explicit recognition of their history and relationship with the city. To deny or conceal any of the Jewish, Christian or Muslim traditions undermines the integrity of the site, and runs counter to the reasons that justified its inscription in 1981 as a "World Heritage site."
UNESCO can be counted as one of the most anti-Israel UN agencies. In the course of a typical year, the organization's legislative bodies will condemn Israel 10 or more times, with no criticism aimed at any other country in the world. In 2009 for example, UNESCO adopted 10 anti-Israel decisions, eight at the 181st and 182nd sessions of the Executive Board, and two at the 35th session of the General Conference. Again in 2010, UNESCO adopted 10 anti-Israel decisions at the 184th and 185th sessions of the Executive Board. In 2011, UNESCO again adopted 10 anti-Israel decisions at the 186th and 187th sessions of the Executive Board and two resolutions against Israel at the 36th session of the General Conference.
Whereas Jerusalem was King David's capital and continued to be the capital of the Second Jewish Commonwealth, as well as Israel's capital today, it was never the capital of any Arab or Muslim empire, Caliphate, or entity, nor was Jerusalem a spiritual center that Muslims yearned for. The Umayyad Caliphate had its capital in Damascus. The Abbasside Caliphate capital was Baghdad, and the Ottoman Empire's (Caliphate) capital was Constantinople. Ramle, a small town in Israel, was its administrative capital in Palestine – not Jerusalem. A Palestinian state never existed as an independent entity, and the PA claims on Jerusalem are strictly contrarian – to deny Jerusalem as the heart of Jewish spirituality and yearning. Jerusalem exists in every Jewish prayer, and is invoked on every occasion and holiday.
Dore Gold, former Director General of Israel's Foreign Ministry, addressed last year's UNESCO's Jerusalem resolution. He pointed out that the resolution "glossed over any Jewish connection to Jerusalem, and it failed to acknowledge Christianity's ties to Jerusalem."
Most dismaying is the fact that Christian nations who voted for the resolution or abstained, have abandoned all vestiges of pride and honor, and are willing to deny historical truth for narrow political interests. Brazil, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic, predominantly Catholic states, are a case in point. Unfortunately other Christian countries including France, Spain, Greece, Argentina, and Sweden, who should know about Jerusalem from their church bibles, did not have the courage to reject this outrageously false resolution. It can only lead to the conclusion that perhaps cowardice and latent anti-Semitism drove their decision to accept, not reject this infamous resolution.

Q: C# MailTo with Attachment? Currently I am using the below method to open the users outlook email account and populate an email with the relevant content for sending:
public void SendSupportEmail(string emailAddress, string subject, string body)
{
   Process.Start("mailto:" + emailAddress + "?subject=" + subject + "&body="
                + body);
}

I want to however, be able to populate the email with an attached file.
something like:
public void SendSupportEmail(string emailAddress, string subject, string body)
{
   Process.Start("mailto:" + emailAddress + "?subject=" + subject + "&body="
      + body + "&Attach="
      + @"C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\stuff.txt");
}

However this does not seem to work.
Does anyone know of a way which will allow this to work!?
Help greatly appreciate.
Regards.

A: If you want to access the default email client then you can use MAPI32.dll (works on Windows OS only).
Take a look at the following wrapper:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/SendFileToNET.aspx
Code looks like this:
MAPI mapi = new MAPI();
mapi.AddAttachment("c:\\temp\\file1.txt");
mapi.AddAttachment("c:\\temp\\file2.txt");
mapi.AddRecipientTo("person1@somewhere.com");
mapi.AddRecipientTo("person2@somewhere.com");
mapi.SendMailPopup("testing", "body text");

// Or if you want try and do a direct send without displaying the mail dialog
// mapi.SendMailDirect("testing", "body text");

A: Does this app really need to use Outlook?  Is there a reason for not using the System.Net.Mail namespace?
If you really do need to use Outlook ( and I would not recommend it because then you're basing your app on 3rd party dependencies that are likely to change) you will need to look into the Microsoft.Office namespaces
I'd  start here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.interop.outlook.aspx

A: Try this
var proc = new System.Diagnostics.Process();
proc.StartInfo.FileName = string.Format("\"{0}\"", Process.GetProcessesByName("OUTLOOK")[0].Modules[0].FileName);
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = string.Format(" /c ipm.note /m {0} /a \"{1}\"", "someone@somewhere.com", @"c:\attachments\file.txt");
proc.Start();

A: mailto: doesn't officially support attachments. I've heard Outlook 2003 will work with this syntax:
<a href='mailto:name@domain.com?Subject=SubjTxt&Body=Bod_Txt&Attachment=""C:\file.txt"" '>

A better way to handle this is to send the mail on the server using System.Net.Mail.Attachment.
    public static void CreateMessageWithAttachment(string server)
    {
        // Specify the file to be attached and sent.
        // This example assumes that a file named Data.xls exists in the
        // current working directory.
        string file = "data.xls";
        // Create a message and set up the recipients.
        MailMessage message = new MailMessage(
           "jane@contoso.com",
           "ben@contoso.com",
           "Quarterly data report.",
           "See the attached spreadsheet.");

        // Create  the file attachment for this e-mail message.
        Attachment data = new Attachment(file, MediaTypeNames.Application.Octet);
        // Add time stamp information for the file.
        ContentDisposition disposition = data.ContentDisposition;
        disposition.CreationDate = System.IO.File.GetCreationTime(file);
        disposition.ModificationDate = System.IO.File.GetLastWriteTime(file);
        disposition.ReadDate = System.IO.File.GetLastAccessTime(file);
        // Add the file attachment to this e-mail message.
        message.Attachments.Add(data);

        //Send the message.
        SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient(server);
        // Add credentials if the SMTP server requires them.
        client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

        try {
          client.Send(message);
        }
        catch (Exception ex) {
          Console.WriteLine("Exception caught in CreateMessageWithAttachment(): {0}",
                ex.ToString() );
        }
        data.Dispose();
    }

Q: SELECT all_data WHERE value_in_column LIKE specific_string I have a MySQL database with a table that contains a lot of data for a certain vehicle across many different days. In this table there is a column called time_stamp that has the date the data was taken like so:
ID   UnitID   time_stamp         data   more_data
0    56       2016-08-10 12:01   asdf   12
1    57       2016-08-09 11:19   ghjk   34
2    57       2016-08-09 9:35    qwer   56
3    58       2016-08-09 1:16    tyui   78

I want to select everything in the table where UnitID LIKE 57 and time_stamp LIKE 2016-08-09% so that it would return:
ID   UnitID   time_stamp         data   more_data
1    57       2016-08-09 11:19   ghjk   34
2    57       2016-08-09 9:35    qwer   56

I have tried SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE time_stamp LIKE 2016-08-09% AND UnitID LIKE 57; but I keep getting a Error Code: 1054 telling me that there is an unknown column in 'where clause'. I am still very new to MySQL but I can usually figure out what I need to do with the help of the MySQL Docs, however this one I cannot figure out.  I have also looked for similar questions like this one here, but nothing I have found is able to accomplish exactly what I want.

A: LIKE is for string matching and as such is comparatively slow to compared to more appropriate operators. Your query would be better with a WHERE such as this:
WHERE UnitID = 57 AND time_stamp BETWEEN '2016-08-09 00:00:00' AND '2016-08-09 23:59:29'

That said, MySQL's main objection to the query you had was probably that you did not enclose 2016-08-09% in quotes.

A: You don't need LIKE clauses here. Try this:
SELECT * FROM table_name
WHERE
time_stamp >= Convert(datetime,'2016-08-09')
AND
time_stamp < Convert(datetime,'2016-08-10')
AND
UnitID = 57

A: I don't think you're going to need LIKE for this query because the data that you're looking for isn't TEXT, VARCHAR, or CHAR data. Try doing this in your predicate:
WHERE UnitID = 57 AND DATE(time_stamp) = '2016-08-09'


South has to play the ♣Q from dummyВґs hand – East wins this trick with the ♣A (trick 2) and leads back a club. Now South has to play a small club from hand – as West opened, he can have about 10 HCP and it would be preferable later on to be able to lead from hand. West plays a small club, dummy`s ♣J wins this trick (trick 3).
West plays the ♦10. Now the only possibility is to endplay West and force the lead on him. South has to play a small diamond from dummy, so West`s ♦10 wins the trick (trick 11). West, who has two diamonds leads the ♦K back, so South can take this trick with the dummy`s ♦A (trick 12) and lead a small diamond to his Queen smothering WestВґs ♦J (trick 13).

Finished Intelligence: A Cornerstone for Effective Decision-Making
By Matthew Howell
Producing timely, relevant, and actionable intelligence at scale is integral to the success of an intelligence program, but it simply isn't feasible for many organizations due to the extensive resources, bandwidth, and subject-matter expertise it requires. That's why finished intelligence is a core component of Flashpoint's Business Risk Intelligence (BRI) offerings.
A view of the finished intelligence library within the Flashpoint Intelligence Platform. Users can find reports relevant to their team through our keyword search functionality and personalized topic filters.
Unlike automated threat feeds or keyword alerts, finished intelligence is actionable reporting primed for stakeholder decision-making. And at Flashpoint, our finished intelligence is the product of our analysts' specialized subject-matter expertise and our comprehensive collection strategy that spans illicit communities across the deep and dark web (DDW), encrypted chat services, and open-web sources. Based on their latest observations from within these communities—and in alignment with our customers' intelligence requirements—our analysts publish dozens of finished intelligence reports each week, directly within the Flashpoint Intelligence Platform.
Report topics and categories generally include, but are not limited to, the following:
Tactics, Techniques, and Procedure (TTP) Insights
Since threat actors operate around the world and in a number of languages, producing comprehensive intelligence requires a team of specialized analysts who understand the native language and underground slang of adversaries in key regions in order to identify significant developments. Moreover, since many threat-actor communities are fraught with spam, false claims, and other noise, analysts must have a discerning eye and nuanced understanding of these communities' inner workings and cultural dynamics in order to assess which information is credible, timely, and relevant.
Flashpoint's analyst team has the specialized expertise needed to elicit these insights. By leveraging our collections across the underground communities where adversaries exchange advice, tutorials, compromised datasets, malicious tools, and other resources, our analysts provide customers with unique insights into evolving cybercrime TTPs. They help describe trends such as shifting attack methods and marketplace pricing trends in order to help teams anticipate and defend against evolving threats.
Flashpoint analysts report on a wide range of threat-actor TTPs, including the pricing of goods and services on DDW forums and marketplaces.
Indicators of compromise (IOCs) are still an essential tool to combat evolving malware threats, but on their own, they present an incomplete picture. That's why Flashpoint analysts supplement IOCs (provided in CSV, MISP JSON formats via the Flashpoint API) with insight into the behavior of emerging malware, along with an assessment of the risk it presents and recommended mitigations for defenders.
In addition to publishing in-depth analyses of high-profile malware strains, Flashpoint also summarizes the week's most-discussed families of malware—indicating which threat actors are selling them on which marketplaces and any recent updates to their functionality, features, or pricing—in a weekly report shared with customers.
Trending Vulnerabilities Reports
When it comes to risk-based vulnerability prioritization, one of the most important factors to consider is the extent to which threat actors are discussing a vulnerability. In addition to delivering nearly real-time visibility into these discussions through Flashpoint's CVE Dashboard, we also provide customers with monthly Trending Vulnerabilities Reports that detail the most-discussed vulnerabilities of the past month, along with commentary on related threat-actor activities and an assessment of the potential impact of these vulnerabilities.
Threat-Actor Profiles
Whether you're dealing with high-profile cybercriminals, state-sponsored advanced persistent threat (APT) actors, or ideologically motivated extremist groups, understanding the adversary is critical. Our Threat-Actor Profile reports share analyst insight on prominent actors' history, preferred tactics, targeting methods, underground presence, and known ties to other adversaries.
Geopolitical Developments
Volatile relations involving nation states and extremist groups can have profound implications for governments and private-sector businesses alike. Flashpoint analysts leverage their geopolitical expertise, linguistic capabilities, and visibility into the underground operations of politically motivated cyber and physical threat actors to deliver ongoing reporting on developments of interest to our customers.
Flashpoint analysts report on a wide range of geopolitical developments, including ongoing, Iran-related tensions in the Middle East.
Flash Assessments
Finished intelligence comprises the core of Flashpoint's business risk intelligence reporting. But these reports take time to curate and produce, and in the minutes and hours following an alleged breach, physical security incident, or other significant event, defenders need answers right away. That's why Flashpoint supplements its finished intelligence reporting with timely flash assessments, which provide customers with relevant details as soon as they're available, along with analyst commentary. As more information about a threat is discovered, Flashpoint analysts (and customers) share updates through Flashpoint's FPCollab information-sharing community.
Daily Standups
Open-source news sites are a valuable resource for keeping up with which threats are making headlines, but digging around for articles relevant to your organization can be a time-consuming distraction. That's why Flashpoint provides customers with Daily Standup briefings that provide concise summaries of the latest headlines, supplemented by insightful analyst commentary and links to dig further into a story.
As an integral component of our BRI offerings, Flashpoint's finished intelligence library works in tandem with our other offerings—including our community and marketplace datasets, Flashpoint Professional Services, API, curated analyst alerts, and our request for information (RFI) service—to provide defenders with the nuanced knowledge they need to make smart decisions.

While the first round of coronavirus vaccine arrived in Shasta County on Tuesday, Cloney believed "it was too early to tell" whether the vaccines would bring local athletes closer to being able to play again.

"One of the struggles we are going to have as our community gets better and as we go through the tiers is how it works out with the timing," Cloney said. "There's only so many days left once the semester starts and if we get in seasons of sports we want to make sure there's adequate time."
Shasta County athletes have continued to wait while students in 35 other states have continued to compete during the pandemic.
Shasta High School junior James Weaver, who plays running back for the Wolves, admits there's been frustration especially among football players in the community but doesn't feel there's anything he can do except wait and continue to stay conditioned until play resumes.

"It's been hard staying motivated, but I've been able to keep a good routine during quarantine and stay in shape in case we do have a season," Weaver said.
Cloney believes there's room for optimism because the state released more detailed guidelines on when certain sports can return.
"I think up until this guidance came out we were in the dark as far as what the options might be," Cloney said. "Now we have guidance to work with and now it depends on how our community improves and if we can get to those better (levels) of orange and yellow. We will do our best to offer sports."

First - just want to announce that Maja Design will be releasing Limited Edition Sofiero Collection very soon.
now on to my piece using Fika collection.
Here is a piece I created using the Maja Design Ska Vi Ta En Fika Collection.
While it is no longer spring and the tree in the image is long past it's bloom, I just love being reminded of how pretty the lilac bush in my yard is when it starts to blossom.
I accented the page using Maja Design Fika Collection. The collection has the same rich warm colors as my photo.
Thanks for looking. Please stop by the Maja Design Blog and see what the other designers are creating.
Here is a layout featuring the new Milkshake Chic collection from FabScraps. It has a fascinating nostalgic theme to the paper with an elegant twist.
This collection also has the MOST magnificent die cuts. They are garden trellis arches. Ohhh my so delicate. I used them to create my elegant garden feel, along with my sweet niece to pose in the garden.
I gussied up my garden with some string pearls and lace.
Thanks for stopping by. Stay tuned to FabScraps because in addition to Milkshake Chic and Baby Bear collections, they are coming out with some crazy cool collections for CHA. You can find peeks on Facebook.
2. Start with two pages of FabScraps Milkshake Chic Collection –Bubblegum C58002 – cut the checked border from one sheet and glue to the bottom left corner of the second sheet.
3. Glue the die cut arches from FabScraps Milkshake Chic Collection –Pink Soda Milkshake MC58006 and Strawberry Milkshake MC58002 to the Bubblegum paper.
4. Grab a stencil or mask and some white molding paste and add some stenciling to the page – starting from the top left corner down to the bottom right corner. Leave a little of the arches showing. They are far too pretty to completely hide.
5. Add a thick layer of molding paste on the bottom of the arches. Add string pearls and lace over the molding paste to dry.
6. Glue a 3in piece of lace trim right under the graphic of the lady on the paper. This will appear to be the ground for her feet.
8. Cut an image from photo paper.
9. Glue to the arches where the two arches meet.
11. Glue your choice of flowers to the bottom left corner and embellish as if it is a floral garden.
12. Add floral berries and resin birdhouse.
This kit is a compilation of all the essentials to make some cool projects - mists, florals, canvas, masks, metallic rubon, chipboard and more.
I made two projects from my Mixed Media Kit this month, a banner and a mail holder. First the banner, shown above.
I prepared a SHORT video showing how I created this. It's less then 4min and yes, my hands fly super fast but I just want to give you the idea and the feel for what I am doing without all the pain of watching paint dry!
I had some old doilies that I tucked into the corners.
Here is a close up of my embossed letter with inked edges.
Here is the gorgeous metal Adornment from the Flying Unicorns. You can leave "as is" seen below for a vintage feel or you can paint, emboss, use alcohol inks and whatever your mind can envisions to finish the metal adornments.
I created this with my husband in mind. He loves to stick things on the fridge and I prefer a clean fridge. Well, if I can provide him some kind of compromise and a place to stick his bills, then we both win (only I win a little more hahahaaa).
I created this mail holder.
I stared out with the large 18in x27in canvas from the kit. I cut a width of 12 inches and noted where my top was. The top has a pocket for doweling or a rod for hanging.
So I set out to use the large canvas in the kit and fold it so that to would form little pouches. I punched holes where the folds met, and used a long decorative brad to hold the canvas in place. You can sew the canvas on the side if you prefer, but I chose not to do that.
Here I embossed the letters with Stampendous Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel, inked the edges a little with some Mixd Media Inx in Mossy, and dabbed with some brown ink.
My sweet little butterfly has a Prima Pearl in green.
This is a wall hanging. I created by joining Blue Fern with Inkido. What a wonderful combination.
I wanted to work with the Inkido stamps and create tags, but then I decided i did not want to leave them as tags. That's when I opted to turn them into something more decorative. I found the Blue Fern chippies to be the perfect accent.
I used the Blue Fern Lattice Gate and coated it with Stampendous. I thought this would be the perfect piece to tie my two tags together and create a garden feel.
You can see I also added some green eyelash trim for some vines in my garden.
Every garden needs flowers so I grabbed the Blue Fern small Spring Iris set. I painted them with acrylic paints.
I wanted soft, feminine, and elegant for my ballerina image. I grabbed the Blue Fern Frame. In my opinion, this is such an elegant and delicate piece of chipboard.
I kept it simple by painting it with a sandy cream acrylic, dabbed with white and inked the edges dark brown.


Monkey Pulls the Plug on Kenyan Power Supply!
There was some serious monkey business in Kenya last week when a meddlesome monkey climbed onto the roof of Gitaru power plant in and dropped onto a transformer tripping it! The break-in caused a chain reaction of power outages causing a national power blackout.
The vervet primate, a naturally curious breed, was able to elude the electric fence, climb onto the roof and access the transformer. The unnamed monkey miraculously survived and was taken into care by the Kenya Wildlife Service - The system has since been restored and all our power generating units are operating normally.
Other animals that have caused power outages around the world include squirrels, snakes, birds and a goose.

It seems clear who Urban Meyer wants as the Jaguars' quarterback
The first hiring of NFL coaching carousel is a huge one
Urban Meyer, Jaguars take next step in NFL flirtation
Alleged $12 million demand sparks Urban Meyer controversy
Jaguars fire head coach as Urban Meyer looms
With Urban Meyer seemingly closing in to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to multiple reports, there figures to be little doubt who the former Florida and Ohio State head coach will want as his quarterback.
Among the reasons the Jacksonville job appeals to Meyer is the fact they have the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, which means he'll almost certainly have a chance to coach Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
Meyer has not hidden his admiration of Lawrence, who is an elite enough prospect that Jets fans were upset when they won their first game of the year against the Rams, which cost them the top pick.
As ESPN's Jeremy Fowler tweeted Wednesday, "Meyer has long been enamored with Trevor Lawrence."
Prior to last year's college football playoff, Meyer called Lawrence "the best quarterback in college football, ever."
And this season, while still working as a FOX Sports college football analyst, Meyer put Lawrence ahead of Ohio State quarterback, Justin Fields.
"I had Fields and Trevor right next to each other," Meyer said. "I put Trevor Lawrence for one reason, he played one more year. That was it. The one thing I'll say about Justin Fields, because I'm very close to the situation, any concerns about him being a throwing quarterback are gone now. He's developed, he's outstanding. I hear the guys talk. I talk to Coach [Ryan] Day, and obviously the quarterback coach I'm very close to. Comparisons to [former Ohio State QB] Dwayne Haskins are everywhere now as far as throwing the football, which — that's an elite thrower."
The mere mention of Haskins raises red flags after he flopped as the No. 15 overall pick in 2019. He lasted less than two years in Washington, who cut him in late December.
Lawrence, meanwhile, finished second in Heisman Trophy voting in his final season at Clemson, which was briefly interrupted by a COVID-19 diagnosis. He played 10 games and his season ended with a loss to Fields' Buckeyes in the Sugar Bowl, when Fields actually outperformed Lawrence.
Now, Meyer could be in a position to choose between the two.

Q: Git fetch a branch once with a normal name, and once with capital letter I'm fetching for remote branches and stuck in some sort of a loop.
I fetch once and get:
$ git fetch
* [new branch]      minorRelease/something-> origin/minorRelease/something

And then I fetch again and get:
$ git fetch
* [new branch]      minorRelease/Something-> origin/minorRelease/Something

Same branch but with a capital S.
I tried to delete the file from the following folder .git/refs/remotes/origin/minorRelease, but when fetching again, I get both and return to the loop above:
$ git fetch
* [new branch]      minorRelease/Something-> origin/minorRelease/Something
* [new branch]      minorRelease/something-> origin/minorRelease/something

A: @torek is right that it's caused by the difference of Linux and Windows. Linux is case-sensitive, while Windows is not. You can use ls-remote to show the branches in the server.
git ls-remote --heads origin

And I think in your case, the output should include the two branches with only the case of S different.
ref/heads/minorRelease/Something
ref/heads/minorRelease/something

You can delete the remote branch if you find one of them is actually duplicated. And then do fetch again. It should be fine now.
git push origin :minorRelease/Something
git fetch

A: Note: with Git 2.12 (Q1 2017) this will become easier to spot, as you can list branch with a case insensitive option.

tag, branch, for-each-ref: add --ignore-case for sorting and filtering.
This options makes sorting ignore case, which is great when you have
  branches named bug-12-do-something, Bug-12-do-some-more and
  BUG-12-do-what and want to group them together.
  Sorting externally may not be an option because we lose coloring and column layout from git-branch and git-tag.
The same could be said for filtering, but it's probably less important because you can always go with the ugly pattern [bB][uU][gG]-* if you're desperate.
You can't have case-sensitive filtering and case-insensitive sorting (or
  the other way around) with this though. For branch and tag, that should
  be no problem. for-each-ref, as a plumbing, might want finer control.
  But we can always add --{filter,sort}-ignore-case when there is a need
  for it.

git branch --ignore-case --list

Note: The "--ignore-case" option of "git for-each-ref" (and its friends)
did not work correctly, which has been fixed in Git 2.19 (Q3 2018).

(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 4301330, 24 Jul 2018)

ref-filter: avoid backend filtering with --ignore-case
When for-each-ref is used with --ignore-case, we expect match_name_as_path() to do a case-insensitive match.
  But there's an extra layer of filtering that happens before we even get there. Since commit cfe004a (ref-filter: limit traversal to prefix, 2017-05-22, Git v2.14.0), we feed the prefix to the ref backend so that it can optimize the ref iteration.
There's no mechanism for us to tell the backend we're matching
  case-insensitively.  Nor is there likely to be one anytime soon,
  since the packed backend relies on binary-searching the sorted list
  of refs.
  Let's just punt on this case. The extra filtering is an
  optimization that we simply can't do. We'll still give the correct
  answer via the filtering in match_name_as_path().

Note that, with Git 2.23 (Q3 2019), "git for-each-ref" with multiple patterns have been optimized.
See commit b31e268 (26 Jun 2019) by Taylor Blau (ttaylorr).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit b4b8c35, 19 Jul 2019)

ref-filter.c: find disjoint pattern prefixes
Since cfe004a (ref-filter: limit traversal to prefix, 2017-05-22, Git v2.14.0-rc0), the ref-filter code has sought to limit the traversals to a prefix of the given patterns.
That code stopped short of handling more than one pattern, because it means invoking 'for_each_ref_in' multiple times.
  If we're not careful about which patterns overlap, we will output the same refs multiple times.
For instance, consider the set of patterns 'refs/heads/a/*',
  'refs/heads/a/b/c', and 'refs/tags/v1.0.0'. If we naïvely ran:
  for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/a/*", ...);
  for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/a/b/c", ...);
  for_each_ref_in("refs/tags/v1.0.0", ...);

we would see 'refs/heads/a/b/c' (and everything underneath it) twice.
Instead, we want to partition the patterns into disjoint sets, where we
  know that no ref will be matched by any two patterns in different sets.
  In the above, these are:

*

*{'refs/heads/a/*', 'refs/heads/a/b/c'}, and

*{'refs/tags/v1.0.0'}
Given one of these disjoint sets, what is a suitable pattern to pass to
  'for_each_ref_in'?
One approach is to compute the longest common prefix over all elements in that disjoint set, and let the caller cull out the refs they didn't want.
  Computing the longest prefix means that in most cases, we won't match too many things the caller would like to ignore.
The longest common prefixes of the above are:

*

*{'refs/heads/a/*', 'refs/heads/a/b/c'} -> refs/heads/a/*

*{'refs/tags/v1.0.0'}                   -> refs/tags/v1.0.0
We instead invoke:
  for_each_ref_in("refs/heads/a/*", ...);
  for_each_ref_in("refs/tags/v1.0.0", ...);

Which provides us with the refs we were looking for with a minimal amount of extra cruft, but never a duplicate of the ref we asked for.
Implemented here is an algorithm which accomplishes the above, which
  works as follows:

*

*Lexicographically sort the given list of patterns.

*Initialize 'prefix' to the empty string, where our goal is to
   build each element in the above set of longest common prefixes.

*Consider each pattern in the given set, and emit 'prefix' if it
   reaches the end of a pattern, or touches a wildcard character. The
   end of a string is treated as if it precedes a wildcard. (Note that
   there is some room for future work to detect that, e.g., 'a?b' and
   'abc' are disjoint).

*Otherwise, recurse on step (3) with the slice of the list
   corresponding to our current prefix (i.e., the subset of patterns
   that have our prefix as a literal string prefix.)
This algorithm is 'O(kn + n log(n))', where 'k' is max(len(pattern)) for
  each pattern in the list, and 'n' is len(patterns).
By discovering this set of interesting patterns, we reduce the runtime
  of multi-pattern 'git for-each-ref' (and other ref traversals) from
  O(N) to O(n log(N)), where 'N' is the total number of packed references.
Running 'git for-each-ref refs/tags/a refs/tags/b' on a repository with
  10,000,000 refs in 'refs/tags/huge-N', my best-of-five times drop from:
  real    0m5.805s
  user    0m5.188s
  sys     0m0.468s

to:
  real    0m0.001s
  user    0m0.000s
  sys     0m0.000s

On linux.git, the times to dig out two of the latest -rc tags drops from
  0.002s to 0.001s, so the change on repositories with fewer tags is much
  less noticeable.

"git branch" and other "for-each-ref" variants accepted multiple --sort=<key> options in the increasing order of precedence, but it had a few breakages around "--ignore-case" handling, and tie-breaking with the refname, which have been fixed with Git 2.27 (Q2 2020).
See commit 7c5045f, commit 76f9e56 (03 May 2020) by Jeff King (peff).
(Merged by Junio C Hamano -- gitster -- in commit 6de1630, 08 May 2020)

ref-filter: apply --ignore-case to all sorting keys
Signed-off-by: Jeff King
All of the ref-filter users (for-each-ref, branch, and tag) take an --ignore-case option which makes filtering and sorting case-insensitive.
However, this option was applied only to the first element of the ref_sorting list.
So:
git for-each-ref --ignore-case --sort=refname

would do what you expect, but:
git for-each-ref --ignore-case --sort=refname --sort=taggername

would sort the primary key (taggername) case-insensitively, but sort the refname case-sensitively. We have two options here:

*

*teach callers to set ignore_case on the whole list

*replace the ref_sorting list with a struct that contains both the list of sorting keys, as well as options that apply to all keys
I went with the first one here, as it gives more flexibility if we later want to let the users set the flag per-key (presumably through some special syntax when defining the key; for now it's all or nothing through --ignore-case).
The new test covers this by sorting on both tagger and subject case-insensitively, which should compare "a" and "A" identically, but still sort them before "b" and "B".
  We'll break ties by sorting on the refname to give ourselves a stable output (this is actually supposed to be done automatically, but there's another bug which will be fixed in the next commit).


Entering eastern europe was in many ways the beginning of the trip for me. For the first time since we left the UK, language became different. Even in Holland with a degree of guesswork and German, I could find my way. Crossing into Slovakia though suddenly brought a wholly different feel along with the language. Strange, how the night before entering I had one of the longest and most enjoyable conversations with a lady who's bike had broken down. At least the currency had stayed the same, though that brought troubles of its own as we struggled to afford food having changed all our Euros prematurely into Forints.
The trip also began to suddenly leap forward in its speed. Leaving the comfort and company of the Danube for the first time, soon we were out of Slovakia and hopping between cities through Hungary and Serbia, until we hit the Iron Gates. The only pause was in Budapest, an unforgettable week in an unbelievable city. Renting an apartment there, meeting Raul, eating the food, seeing the amazing city, and of course… Seeing Jo.
Serbia brought with it the first real cold of the trip. Suddenly, we found ourselves regularly scraping ice off the tents in the morning, and battling the winds howling along the river (of course against us, always against us.
And with the steep valley sides of this truly stunning natural landscape, waking in the shawdows each morning didn't help the situation. We longed to be on the other side of the river, cycling the flat roads in stunning sunshine. The grass is always greener… And drier….
At times the river became so narrow, I felt I could almost leap across the water and onto the other side…. If not for the deathly drop.
Eventually we pushed up and over the steep slopes of the iron gates, and said goodbye to the most effectively signposted cycle route of the trip. Entering Romania was a welcome sight, and once we found a cash machine and could afford food, we set off. The countryside was wonderful- large rural areas in which to camp, and countless friendly locals waving, cheering, and giving hi five's as we sped past. The closest I'll get to a hero's welcome!
Buying food proved to be an entertaining challenge too- with the currency recently changed, we found (bizzarely) that even the cheapest sausage would cost £10. No, in fact it turned out they still used the old numbering system to refer to the new cost. £1 was closer. Confusing? Very.
Our last day day through Romania was a tough 130km slog through strong winds, as we aimed to get to Ruse, and into Bulgaria. We pushed on and on, and despite Google Maps misinforming us about a bridge (and sending us through the muddiest field I've ever seen in my life), we made it.
A day's R+R in Ruse fixed us up for the onward journey. I had read about the treachery of Bulgarian roads, and was surprised to find them surprisingly navigable. Drivers were responsible, the roads in decent condition, and we sped on down the country. In fact, it has been Hungary and Serbia where the biggest danger lay- during a week of rain and narrow roads, trucks and cars rattling inches away from us was a regular thing. Stu had a close call after skidding off his bike during a turn, and Craig was once run off the road by a bus built for motorways.
And so during a rainy day off in Belgrade, we had planned our route carefully to take decent roads while still avoiding the worst of the mountains. But sadly, to avoid all of them was impossible. It would be our first major ascent, but far far FAR from the last.
We eventually made it to Elhovo, the border town of Bulgaria, on a damp and foggy evening. Exhausted, but glad to soon be entering Turkey.
We left London on the 31st of August, and arrived in Syria on the 10th December, but that included a good few weeks off over the course of the few months. It took about a month to get through Western Europe and to "Eastern" Europe (Slovakia). We arrived in Turkey at the beginning of November, and Syria exactly a month later.
Leaving England a few weeks earlier probably wouldn't have hurt, and may have helped avoid some of the cold that we felt from Serbia through to Bulgaria, but there were no points that were particularly bad. The coldest temperatureit ever reached was -2 (that I recorded), and that only happened a couple of times I think in Romania and Bulgaria. But even then, with the right gear it wasn't too bad. The daytime temperatures were always comfortable enough for cycling, and we were pretty lucky with rain too.
regarding your ride through west and east Europe, how long did it take you?
which month/s were you riding in west Europe?, and Eastern?

January 9, 2019 By Emerald Coast Classic
Florida State, Tennessee Headline 6th Annual Emerald Coast Classic
NICEVILLE, FLA. — Nationally ranked Tennessee and Florida State, along with perennial NCAA Tournament participants Purdue and VCU, headline the field for the sixth annual Emerald Coast Classic, presented by Global Sports.
The eight-team tournament will be played Thanksgiving weekend Nov. 29-30 at The Arena on the campus of Northwest Florida State College. The remainder of the field will be disclosed in the near future.
"This will be the best field we've ever assembled for the Emerald Coast Classic and it shapes up as one of the strongest preseason college basketball tournaments next season," said tournament director Maury Hanks, chief executive officer of Global Sports. "We continue to strive in bringing the best college basketball teams possible to the Emerald Coast of Florida."
Tennessee, which stands 13-1 following an 87-63 victory at Missouri Tuesday, is ranked No. 3 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches poll, while riding a nine-game winning streak.
The Volunteers, led by fourth-year coach Rick Barnes, are the reigning Southeastern Conference regular season co-champs and advanced to the round of 32 in the 2018 NCAA Tournament.
Florida State, which stands 12-2, is ranked No. 12 entering a Wednesday (Jan. 9) home game with Miami. Leonard Hamilton has guided the Seminoles to six trips to the NCAA Tournament during his tenure at the school.
Purdue, under the guidance of Matt Painter who is in his 14th year as head coach, owns a 9-6 record seeking a fifth straight trip to the NCAA Tournament. The Boilermakers have a storied tradition winning the most Big Ten Conference championships with 23 with the latest coming in 2017.
Purdue was seeded second in the East Region of the 2018 NCAA Tournament, their highest seed in recent history. The Boilermakers won a school record 30 games while advancing to the 2018 Sweet Sixteen.
VCU is 10-4 entering a Wednesday Atlantic 10 Conference home test with LaSalle. Mike Rhoades is in his second season as head coach with Rams.
VCU reached the NCAA tournament seven consecutive times from 2011–2017 with the Rams widely known for their run to the 2011 Final Four.
The participating coaches are excited to be playing in what promises to be one of the best preseason basketball tournaments for the 2019-20 campaign.
"We're excited about the opportunity to bring the Big Orange to the Emerald Coast Classic," Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes said. "Not only does it provide a great early-season test for our team, but it's also a wonderful opportunity for our fans.
"Destin and the surrounding area is a popular destination for Vol fans, so I'd expect that there will be plenty of orange in the stands."
"We jumped at the chance to play in the 2019 Emerald Coast Classic," said Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton. "Not only is it a great field of teams which gives us some phenomenal early season games but the tournament is in a part of our state where we haven't played before.
"The opportunity to play great competition and bring our team to more of our fans is a winning combination for our program. We are excited about playing in the Emerald Coast Classic in one of the most beautiful areas in the state of Florida."
"We are excited to be part of the 2019 Emerald Coast Classic," said Purdue coach Matt Painter. "The field for next year's Classic is the strongest it has ever been and it will be a great experience for our fans and our program to compete with three other outstanding teams."
Global Sports has produced 43 multi-team college basketball tournaments in the past 11 years.

I notice by your frontpage headline (Province ups aid for refugees, Sept 10) that Saskatchewan has reached a new level of minimalism.
Saskatchewan has a multibillion-dollar annual budget and Premier Brad Wall has decided to increase aid to settlement of refugees from Syria by about 15 cents per provincial citizen.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has slashed or clawed-back from the Immigration Department millions of dollars which was meant for refugee assistance.
There is a human crisis afoot, and that is our response? Perhaps our premier is attempting to urge our prime minister to get off his whatever.

1. You log into your SportsBook account 5-10x in a day, wagering every time.
Long term winners are selective. Make a plan and stick to it. Think of profits in terms of months not days. If you have a plan for betting second half lines, you might be an exception. But make no mistake – you would be the exception.
The biggest winners generally stick to money lines and look for + even bets. The players and coaches don't care about the meaningless run or goal and you shouldn't either. This isn't NFL where games are decided by about 5 pts on average.
It's not that smart money always favors the underdog, it's that you should see value on both sides pretty regularly or you simply aren't looking for the right signs. In NFL, popular, high scoring teams are often overbet.
Once you make the decision to treat sports handicapping like an investment, entertainment value is just an occasional bonus for a really fun "job".
Pigs get slaughtered. Take profit.
The oddsmakers are very well aware that Aaron Rodgers is injured or JJ Watt won't play. Thinking there is value in a line because of injury is generally folly. Same goes for weather. These factors are built into the line. Unless you know something about weather patterns that isn't widely published, or injuries, you have no advantage.
Players change. Placing bets based on uniforms is stupid.
The math just doesn't work. Too much variance in totals and margin of victory too large. We have a piece coming with some numbers to support it but here is an old story for reference: "Guy calls bookie on Saturday night at 8:00. Bookie says he is done for the day.

Rob Halford on Donald Trump: 'There's Always a Darth Vader Somewhere'
Michael Christopher Published: March 27, 2018
Ron Sachs, Bryan Bedder/Getty Images
Rob Halford says he isn't a supporter of Donald Trump, and likens the U.S. President and his political divisiveness to both Adolf Hitler and Darth Vader in a new interview, saying "[It's] scary is how one person or a few people can have that much control and dictate such an outcome."
"I'm not an American citizen, but I live in this country and eventually want to become an American citizen because I love this country so much," the Judas Priest frontman tells Newsweek. "I'm not a Donald Trump supporter for a lot of reasons, but it's not only happening in America. It's happening in other parts of the world, as well, and it's very dangerous. I was born in 1951. We were still recovering from that evil bastard Adolf Hitler and the horrible things he did."
"When I was a kid, trying to make sense of the world, I would think, 'Well, maybe in about 10 years there will be no more of this.' And then it's still there," Halford continued. "It's like what threatens the Force in Star Wars. It won't fucking go away. There's always a Darth Vader somewhere, fucking it up for the rest of us. Most of humanity just wants to live a peaceful life, don't we?
Halford, who is currently touring in support of the band's latest album, Firepower, acknowledges that there is a large contingent of Judas Priest fans who will not agree with his views as they might be supporters of Trump and his administration.
"That's great. That's OK. You're not bringing that to the show," he says. "We're there to all join together, and that is the beautiful thing about a free, transparent society—which we don't appear to have right now. Some fans are completely opposite to me politically. But we can still be in the same room and have a good time and hopefully have a good discussion while respecting each other's opinions."
Last week, Priest scored their career highest debut on the charts with Firepower, landing at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, moving 49,000 units in the weekend ending March 15, based on a Nielsen Music report. The sales were bolstered in units sold by combining the LP in a ticket/album sales package in conjunction with their tour which kicked off March 13.

UN Report: Kony's LRA Still Recruits Children

The United Nations says that the Ugandan rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) continues to perpetrate violations against children, including recruiting them as soldiers.
A new report by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says the rebel group led by Joseph Kony has abducted close to 600 children, almost half of them girls, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Central African Republic (CAR), and in South Sudan in recent years.
In his first report to the U.N. Security Council on the subject, Mr. Ban documents violations committed against children, and measures taken to address the LRA threat between July, 2009 and February, 2012.
The group has waged a 26-year reign of terror in Central Africa, attacking and looting villages, killing and abducting their inhabitants, and turning kidnap victims into child soldiers and sex slaves with the idea of turning Uganda into a Christian theocracy. Kony's initial popularity has waned over the years following reports of atrocities that led to thousands of deaths and displacement of close to 2 million people.
The latest U.N. report says that by 2004, the LRA had largely been driven from Uganda through a sustained military effort and Kony then exported its terror campaign to neighboring countries. In 2005, he was indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands, but has evaded capture.
A U.N. report last month said the group managed to avoid capture by being constantly on the move between Uganda, the Central African Republic and South Sudan. It is believed that Kony currently has between 200 and 500 fighters.
The Secretary-General's Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, Radhika Coomaraswamy, told reporters at the U.N. headquarters in New York Wednesday that the LRA "continues to cast a long shadow across central Africa, causing enormous suffering for children."
The Special Representative's office monitors six grave violations against children: recruitment and use of child soldiers; killing and maiming; sexual violence; denial of humanitarian access; abduction; and attacks on schools and hospitals.
A multinational force, including 100 U.S. Special Forces, has been searching for him in his native Uganda, neighboring South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Central African Republic.
Kony was the subject of a Web video called Kony 2012 that intended to spread the word about his actions.

Hagel Receives Tour of Carrier in China Visit
By Helene Cooper
QINGDAO, China — Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel got a long-awaited look at China's only aircraft carrier on Monday, taking a two-hour tour of the vessel at a naval base near this port city, in the first such visit by a foreign defense official, Pentagon officials said.
Accompanied by a handful of aides, Mr. Hagel toured the medical facilities, living quarters and flight control station of the Liaoning aircraft carrier in Qingdao, and he took a walking tour of the flight deck to see launch stations and other apparatus devoted to getting China's fighter jets into the air.
Mr. Hagel and other Obama administration officials have repeatedly called on the Chinese government to demonstrate more transparency, particularly in its military, whose budget has increased significantly even as the United States cuts back on military spending.
After Qingdao, Mr. Hagel flew to Beijing, where he was scheduled to hold talks on Tuesday with the Chinese defense minister and deliver a speech at China's National Defense University.
Military officials accompanying Mr. Hagel said the visit to the ship was a big step in the fledgling military relationship between the United States and China, two global powers that have been increasingly at loggerheads over what many American officials view as Beijing's aggressive posture toward Japan and other neighbors.
But Mr. Hagel's aides said that even if they received only a limited look at China's maritime capability, they viewed the visit as one bright light in what could be an otherwise contentious trip.
"It's always good to get aboard a ship," Rear Adm. John F. Kirby, the Pentagon press spokesman, told reporters after the tour. "It feels the same, it smells the same."
Defense officials said that the Chinese carrier is significantly less advanced than its American counterparts, but they added that it can carry out the main function of an aircraft carrier: receiving and launching fighter planes.

Hair seeks public input on issues
By PHIL BANTZ, pbantz@breezenewspapers.com
Cape Councilmember Tom Hair is holding a District 1 public input meeting to discuss key issues concerning the Cape's downtown area Wednesday evening at the Cape Coral Realtors Association building in Club Square.
"I want to ask the citizens what's important," said Hair. "I want to get their input."
Hair expects three main issues to be discussed during the public input session, including: the Yacht Club master plan, the CRA and proposed downtown development and the city's former Golf Club.
"The people living next to the Yacht Club are concerned that it could become a larger incarnation of itself," said Hair. "A few people said don't change a thing, but most people want the area to be modernized but not go overboard. I would like to make the area more manageable, but I wouldn't like to see a parking garage down there."
Hair said he hasn't heard much from residents regarding the CRA and proposed downtown developments, but expects the topic to arise during the meeting.
While The Golf Club is in District 4, Hair said he has received a handful of e-mails from residents concerned with the rapidly deteriorating condition of the vacant property.
After losing $3 million in five years, the course was forced to shut its doors Aug. 1.
"I've gotten more than five e-mails from concerned citizens about The Golf Club asking what the city should do," said Hair. "It's a jewel. I could just imagine that being the Cape Coral version of New York's Central Park. I've been told by several people that they'd like to see a jogging and biking path encircle the entire course. It just seems like a terrible waste of space to sit there the way it is. It's going to create an eyesore and possible safety concerns for people living near the course."
Hair said the vacant property was a liability issue waiting to happen.
"We could have people walking around out there and falling into a pond or getting bitten by a snake," said Hair, adding that he has included The Golf Club on the agenda for Monday's City Council meeting.
"You've got this big empty piece of land waiting for something bad to happen to it," Hair said. "The question becomes, is it the city's job to step up to the plate and buy it outright? Right now, I don't know."
City Council appointed Hair to fill the vacant District 1 seat on Sept. 25 following the death of Councilmember Jim Jeffers.
Hair has lived in Cape Coral for 10 years and is a math professor at Florida Gulf Coast University.
The public input session is scheduled from 6:30-8 p.m.

On making The Golf Club beautiful again
By Dan Warner
Originally posted on October 14, 2006
People are all the time calling The News-Press looking for publicity. "Good" publicity.
Not Diana Watson. She called looking for bad publicity.
Watson, 62, was clearly uncomfortable. She doesn't see herself as a crusader.
Sure, there was the time when she was 10 or 11 and she entered a coloring contest and some kid who couldn't even stay in the lines won the pony, causing her to raise a stink in front of the judges and the whole crowd that had gathered in a local West Virginia theater for the awards ceremony.
"It was the daughter of some big shot in town who won," she explained.
And, of course, there is her sister, Pamela Martens, who gained considerable notoriety when she became chief plaintiff in a sexual harassment suit that caused the big Wall Street brokerage houses to change the way they treated woman. Someone wrote a book about her called "Tales from the Boom Boom Room" that made her a real celebrity and told all the world that the big boys could be brought down.
But, until now, Watson has stayed out of the limelight, doing her good works by being a friendly shoulder to lean on and volunteering.
Then Watson moved to Cape Coral and came across a neighbor who won't mow his grass to her satisfaction. Watson got mad, is ready to go public and is quite willing to raise a stink.
We are talking about a lot of grass here. The neighbor is The Golf Club, with fairways, greens and tee boxes weaving in and out between streets of residential homes in southeast Cape Coral.
It closed last summer because the owners weren't making money.
The fairways are overgrown and now, with the rainy season over, brown, broken only by the green of ugly weeds that give it an ugly patchwork appearance.
"It looks like a cow pasture," Watson said. "I grew up in West Virginia. I know what a cow pasture looks like."
Watson's home neither faces nor backs up on the golf course. It does nothing to disrupt her views.
She is doing it for her neighbors.
"I just don't want that Golf Club doing what they are doing to people," she said. "They totally mismanaged the place so that it had to close and now they are selling it
"And the neighbors have to look at their rubbish while they sell."
"What if all the people in Cape Coral let their yards go? Wouldn't we be in a fine mess then."
What sort of editorial does Watson want written.
"They need some bad publicity," she said.
The Golf Course managing director Scott Silar disagrees. He said the course has been mowed seven times since it closed and the grass is less than a foot high, meeting city code.
"What the neighbors don't like is that it doesn't look like it used to look," he said.
Besides, he said, there is a larger issue — the future of the course.
We have to agree: therein lies the real solution to Watson's problem and the unsightliness.
So, our editorial will address that issue — hopefully with a tone that will make Watson, Silar, the neighbors and the City of Cape Coral happy.
Editorial: Her idea, our words
It's not just the neighbors who think the The Golf Club is unsightly.
Cape Coral District One Council member Tom Hair said, bluntly, "it looks terrible."
It is a scarred, ugly face on what once was a beautiful area.
"It is deteriorating rapidly," Hair said.
Hair is planning to bring the future of the course up at Monday's council meeting.
He wants to pass a resolution asking the city manager to investigate ways the city might work with the owners to develop the land, saving as much of the green area as possible.
"That place is a jewel," he said. "It could become the Central Park of Cape Coral."
We like that: someone with the vision to condemn the mess, but to look beyond it to the possibilities.
We also like it that The Golf Club is receptive to talks with the city.
"We have been waiting for the people from the city to come see us," said Scott Silar, the course's managing director.
"It makes perfect sense to talk with the city. I just wish they would have taken it up a couple of months ago."
We encourage talks to the end of making some money for the golf course's owners and, even more, of preserving a wonderful mass of green space.
We hope they proceed speedily and in good faith on both sides.
Meanwhile, perhaps Silar and the city could come to some agreement on mowing the course even more frequently until a plan is devised and implemented.
It really does look bad. Drive by and see for yourself.

Despite the fact that open enthusiasm for Cryptocurrency is increasing, it isn't generally for the best of intentions. Crooks have taken a strong affinity to digital currencies and they've gone to the extent of using other people's computers in mining them.
It looks like there are some Kodi add-ons that criminals are remotely accessing from un-suspecting individuals computers for the purposes of mining cryptocurrencies. This criminal behavior has been going on for now, but thankfully developers are close to blocking that error in the software.
Analysts are perturbed that criminals are attempting such a significant number of strategies to unlawfully mine cryptocurrencies. We have seen an expansion in malevolent mining software, and other codes being inserted in programs and websites to help illegally mine cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency advocates believe that the new phenomena will give digital currencies a far more detestable notoriety than they already have.
It now appears that criminals have adopted a strategy of targeting clients of the famous Kodi platform. For the individuals who are unfamiliar with the platform, Kodi is a one-stop-shop for videos, photos and music. It is compatible with many platforms especially as a result of its lightweight nature.
Analysts believe that it is this comparative advantage of the software that is attracting a lot of people to use it for criminal acts. Criminals are using the add-ons to create programs that are not meant for helping users but for the purpose of mining cryptocurrency through the use of other people's computers. Such acts can slow a computer system down while also putting such systems at risk of possible damage.
Starting now, cryptocurrency mining done on the Kodi platform will be blocked. Anybody that violates the new rules will be barred for life from the community, company officials say.
Kodi has also developed its own malignant content blocker, which can cripple additional items on a worldwide scale once they are flagged.

In a recent decision, the Ohio State Legislature and the Ohio Department of Education decided not to include world history as a required course for high school graduation. Our representatives have also failed to include world history on its list of courses to be assessed. In the past 10 years, the education community has come to learn that if a course is not mandated or assessed, it's usually not taught; especially, in such difficult economic times for schools (Ravitch, 2010). This unprecedented move will have devastating consequences for our students, families, communities, and industry in an increasingly globally interconnected age.
The decision to not include world history as a required course could not have come at a worse time with our nation and veterans engaged in on-going international military conflicts, citizens facing a global economic recession, and our world facing important global issues. The fact is that our State needs citizens, consumers, workers, and businesses that are knowledgeable about the rest of the world and its people. More so than any other generation, today's students will be actors on a global stage (Merryfield & Wilson, 2005). Their lives will be shaped by events, movements, and issues from all corners of our planet. Their economic, political, and environmental decisions will have a significant impact on our world. World history courses and their equivalents are best suited to help students understand phenomena that transcend states, cultures, and people (World History Association, 2007). World history courses provide students with a macro-level frame of reference whereby the vast mosaic of human history, interaction, and exchanges are best understood (World History Association, 2007).
We're asking that the Ohio General Assembly and The State Board of Education support Senate Bill 96 (sponsored by Senator LaRose; co-sponsored by Senators Lehner, Cafaro, and Hite) that requires students to complete 1 unit of instruction on the history of cultures from around the world other than that of the United States, which is taken from the 2 units of social studies required for high school graduation. This bill was supported unanimously in the Ohio Senate Education Committee and in the Ohio Senate.
Brad Maguth needs your help with "Save World History in Ohio's Schools". Join Brad and 848 supporters today.

was wondering if i can place 2 of these in a 4 ft tank...just these filters...shouldnt be a prob rite?
Will this work well for a 6x2.5x2.5 sump tank?
Any comments on post #50 ?
For this filter got to careful as I brought 2 of this last month at Aqua Star at Yishun. The first one I brought works fine but the second I got produce heat that make the water temperature rise up to 32-34degree which kills most of my fish.
I brought it down to the yishun Aqua star on 23/11/11 as they stated item to be exchange within 3 days but I brought it down the second day they did not change it for me and told me that they will send it for repair but till now it is still in the shop.
So anyone buying this please kindly check before you try as from what the shop said if you tried you can't change. But if you do not try how you know the problem. So disappointed with this product.
And do not use it in a tank which is less the 3ft.
And got to monitor it when you place it in. If there is a sudden rise in your water temperature, got to faster take it out from your tank or you will end up like me lost my fishes.
seems like qian hu need to explain on this... still intended to buy this as additional filter for my 422..

At the Tokyo Ham Fair in August 2019, ICOM announced a new QRP radio, the IC-705. This is to be a multiband, multimode transceiver with 10W on external power and 5W on batteries. It will cover HF, VHF and UHF .
It is a bit like the IC-703 (which I sold to a friend some years ago), but SDR based with more bands and D-Star. It has a colour touch screen, GPS and Bluetooth. It is "my" kind of radio.
Sadly it does NOT have an internal ATU. It was due to be available from April 2020 in Japan. In the UK it sells for £1299.99. This seems a very high price for an SDR transceiver without 4m now in Europe. Also, not forgetting no ATU either.
There are quite a few of these now in use across the world and, price apart, getting rave reviews. One consideration these days is what happens if the dealer goes bust? Will my warranty still be valid? Most videos here pre-date the widespread availability of this transceiver around the world. To be honest, I cannot keep up! There are now several YouTube videos on the IC-705. One of the best I have seen was https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv4KOmm39bw.
There are a few reviews of the IC-705 appearing on eHam.com.
MLS has added an unboxing of the IC-705 in Japan. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiyCE4Np2sU. I just wonder if they ran out of time and wanted to get to market before their rivals took market share? If so, a firmware upgrade later might add 4m.
See also https://www.icomjapan/news/2707
ICOM has confirmed the (high) UK price and said it will NOT ship with 4m in the European version sadly. I am not sure if will be possible later with a firmware upgrade.

The annual number of cosmetic surgery procedures has more than doubled over the last 12 years, reports the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. One factor fueling this demand is the increasing number of minimally invasive non-surgical procedures. Injections of dermal fillers and neurotoxins are wildly popular among individuals in their 30s to 50s. Laser resurfacing procedures are also very popular. However, most cosmetic surgeons will admit that these minimally invasive procedures can't really replace a surgical facelift.
Botox and wrinkle fillers can improve the appearance of younger individuals by erasing fine lines and wrinkles. Laser resurfacing can improve the appearance of the skin. But as the aging process proceeds, the skin itself begins to sag and droop. Fat deposits under the skin on the face melt away. No injectable or resurfacing procedure can erase these inevitable effects of aging. Luckily, the facelift can.
Surgical facelifts can tighten sagging skin and tissues, particularly around the jowl and neck area. While the skin is being tightened, fat implants are placed to restore a youthful contour to the face. Surgeons at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery explain that the artificial-looking facelifts of the past were caused by just tightening the skin without restoring the underlying volume. Facelifts performed today by expert surgeons using fat implants look very natural and leave no visible scarring, according to medical professionals at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery.
Currently, most individuals in their 40s and 50s can retain a youthful appearance through the use of minimally invasive procedures. However, as individuals enter their 60s and later, the aging process is best addressed by a surgical facelift rather than by minimally invasive procedures. Facelifts are considered to be major surgery, performed under general anesthesia. Many physicians believe that surgery is more risky for older individuals and may recommend that seniors not get facelifts- even though they are the age group that can most benefit from a facelift.
A new study released at the 2014 annual meeting of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that cosmetic surgery is just as safe for seniors as it is for younger individuals. The study found that when a board-certified plastic surgeon performed the procedures, the complication rate was approximately the same regardless of the age of the patients- even individuals in their 80s were able to safely undergo cosmetic surgery procedures. The complication rate was around 2% in all age groups.
One reason why some physicians may discourage seniors from getting cosmetic surgery is that seniors tend to have higher rates of co-morbid conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease. These conditions may make surgery more risky. However, the study above reported that the cosmetic surgery complication rate in seniors with co-morbid conditions wasn't any higher than for other groups. The most common complications in seniors were hematomas, infections and slow healing of wounds. The mean age of the seniors in this study was 69.1 years. The seniors in the study were more interested in facial surgery such as facelifts than younger individuals, who were more interested in body work such as liposuction.

A dog named Rosko had one of the worst cases of mange the Victoria, Australia RSPCA staff had ever seen. Thankfully he was rescued and in good hands. He's made a miraculous recovery and charges were filed against the canines negligent owner.
They posted before and after photos to their facebook page along with the outcome of the court ruling against the owner. The owner was charged with failure to provide vet care and will not be allowed to own a dog for ten years, which is the maximum penalty.
Rosko has since been adopted by a family that will make sure all of his needs are met, and he will never have to suffer again.
Mange is a skin disease caused by parasitic mites. It is preventable and treatable and as you can see by the photos, Rosko feels a lot better now.


You and your friends can prepare to have a friend join you for free if you snag up a Deluxe Edition of Wolfenstein: Youngblood.
The next chapter within the MachineGame's twisted and violent rebuilt alternate history is preparing to launch on July 26th, 2019, for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and surprisingly enough, Nintendo Switch. Currently in development in collaboration with Arkane Studios, Wolfenstein: Youngbloods will take us on another wild and bloody ride through the Nazi-ridden United States after the Nazi's managed to take over the world.
But, you don't have to do it alone. Bethesda has revealed that those who opt-in for the Deluxe Edition of the game can have a friend join them for free of charge but under one little circumstance: They need a "Buddy Pass" that you can provide any of your friends, but there's a stipulation to it all. Only one person can actively use that buddy pass at any given time.
Stay tuned for our review of Wolfenstein: Youngblood when it releases on July 26th, 2019, for all current platforms.


I am sitting in a train from New Delhi to Allhabad with 6 other Fletchies who arrived from Pretoria, Kigali, Singapore and Lubiljana.
Time difference between Boston & Delhi is 11.5hours, day & night reversed. And it does mess with my body. A lot! Last night we had a Fletcher meetup in Delhi, it was so nice to reconnect with Alumni & have international relations conversations.
When I finally went to bed I realized I had spent more time in Ubers than at the restaurant, lots of traffic, lots of car honking, and very different cars. Against all warnings I took a "tuk tuk" today, but I had Sid with me to not get charged triple the price as per usual with foreigners.
Today I wanted to go out on the streets of Delhi alone, to soak in, to be mindful and feel more comfortable. I was stopped by three people on my way out of the hotel inquiring where the hell I think I was going alone? They all gave me the same advice: Do not talk to people, do not give money to beggars, do not let people get too close to you and stay the hell away from streetfood. So, I walked. And I realized after a few minutes that there really aren't any white people, hardly any women in general, on the streets. I was told I would be getting stared at. But nothing really prepares you for that. It made me so uncomfortable that I decided to cover my head, which eventually gave me a sense of protection. Even with my head covered, I was approached by many people wanting to take selfies with me, or just smiling and saying hello.
At the Sikh temple the aura suddenly changed. Gone was the traffic noise, taken over by music and sung prayer, broadcast on the entire area.
From here there is an entire routine, from cleaning hands to getting a sweet to paying your tributes to the higher temple authorities.
When we had all gathered as a group before out trainride we went to get Buttered Chicken, a specialty from Delhi. It was good, but I am becoming more and more of a naan with Dal person, warm white bread with lentils cooked with onions & spices. For dessert we went to an all natural ice cream store, they had saffron pistachio ice cream. Connaught is full of opposites to me: A fancy shoe shop next to a obscure mini-mart, a traditional old Indian restaurant and around the corner the hipster icecream.
I left the airport&could not get back in because only ticket holders are allowed. Every time I entered the hotel my purse was screened, every restaurant has guards watching the doors & even at the train station luggage was screened. People wait patiently in those lines; my Indian friends say they'd rather have these checks slow down their lives if it can help prevent another attack.
