Here's a quick guidance to Marvel's Infinity Stones & Infinity Gauntlet in The Marvel Cinematic Universe.
By now most of us know a little bit about the Infinity Stones and the Infinity Gauntlet, and we've got a glimpse of both in the recent Phase 1 & 2 Marvel movies. But the question is what are they, and what does this mean for the future of Marvel Movies?
Lets start off by defining them.
The Infinity Stones(Gems) are six immensely powerful objects tied to different aspects of the universe, created by the Cosmic Entities. Each of the stones possesses unique capabilities that have been enhanced and altered by various alien civilizations through the millennia.
Only beings of immense power can wield the stones, such as when the Celestials used the Orb to pass judgement on entire planets. Lesser beings are usually unable to grasp the full power of the stones and are destroyed by them when direct contact is made, such as the illness of Jane Foster when exposed to the Aether, the disappearance of Red Skull by the Tesseract, and the incineration of Carina by the Orb.
These were first introduced in the Marvel comics back in the 70's, they are considered the most indestructible and most powerful artifacts in the Marvel Universe. In the comics they are known as Gems but in Marvel movies they are referred to as "Stones".
The Tesseract is named for its cube-like appearance and is capable of providing instant access to any location throughout the universe if used correctly.
It was first discovered by the Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) in Captain America:First Avenger during the World War 2. The stone was too powerful for the Red Skull to handle that it teleported him to an unknown location in the galaxy. It was then moved to Earth and was dug up by Howard Stark (Dominic Cooper) and given to S.H.I.E.L.D. It stayed with them until Loki returned to Earth in 2012 with his mind-controlling scepter in the first "Avengers" film. Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), who unknowingly replicated an element in the Tesseract for his arc reactor chest piece that made him immune to the scepter's powers. Thor (Chris Hemsworth) then returned both the Tesseract and his brother Loki to Asgard where, presumably, it's still located. However, at the end of "Thor 2: The Dark World" it is revealed that Loki is secretly ruling the kingdom, meaning the first Infinity Stone is far from safe.
The Scepter was a weapon that utilized the yellow Mind Stone housed inside a blue computer module, which also masked the stone's presence.
Was first used by Loki to control and destroy the humans with in the first Avengers film. It was then later stolen at the end of the Avengers film by Hydra, and we saw it again at the end of Captain America:Winter Soldier. In 2015's Avengers sequel, we saw Ultron unlock it which revealed the Mind stone inside the Scepter, where he wanted to create a better version of himself, but that failed as the Avengers managed to Upload Jarvis into the body which later came to be known as The Vision (Paul Bettany). Last we saw the stone (Mind Stone) on Vision forehead.
It first made an appearance in 2014's "Guardians of the Galaxy".
We saw at the beginning of the film Star Lord (Chris Pratt) steal an oval like space object which he had first thought was a treasure and would make him money, but later to discover it was a powerful object of mass destruction if it fell in the wrong hands.
It was then sought by Thanos, who tasked Ronan the Accuser to acquire it from the dead planet of Morag, in exchange for destroying Xandar. Star-Lord acquired the stone instead and was prepared to give it to Taneleer Tivan with Gamora until its destructive power was unleashed at Knowhere. Soon after, Ronan obtained it and harnessed its energy with the intent of destroying all life on Xandar and killing Thanos. Star-Lord and the Guardians of the Galaxy were able to take the stone from Ronan and collectively harness its power to destroy him. They then gave the stone to Nova Prime Irani Rael for safe-keeping on Xandar.
The Aether appears as a dark, red, viscous liquid, unlike the other Infinity Stone containment units that appear solid.
The Aether acts like a symbiotic force capable of being absorbed into the body of a living host, granting that person immense strength, power, and seemingly unlimited capabilities. Malekith planned to use the Aether's reality bending abilities to cover all Nine Realms in darkness; however, he was stopped by Thor and Jane Foster. Only two people, Jane Foster and Malekith, are known to have been hosts for the Aether, but circumstances prevented the full extent of the Aether's potential from being explored. It is later shown that the Aether is actually an Infinity Stone contained in liquid form, and in Thor's vision this liquid solidifies into the red Reality Stone. The Collector's Collection was destroyed by the Orb in "Guardians of the Galaxy." So, for all intents and purposes, the Stone's location is pretty much unknown.
For now, this two stones haven't been introduced yet in the MCU, as for all we know, we may get to see one of this stones get introduced in next years Doctor Strange film which will be later in November, and the other might be introduced between the films which include; Captain Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Thor:Ragnarok, Black Panther, Spider-Man and Infinity War Part 1 & 2.
In The Comics the Soul Stone is kind of like the Mind Stone turned up a few hundred degrees. The holder of the stone can not only manipulate both living and deal souls, but can actually be used to steal the abilities of gifted individuals.
It has control over all time past, present, and future.
Infinity Gauntlets were items used for channeling the power of the Infinity Stones. Two Gauntlets are currently known – one is in Odin's Vault, which is right-handed, and the other, which is left-handed, is in Thanos's possession.
Now when Thanos completes to collect all the Infinity stones, he will put them together in the Infinity Gauntlet, which will then lead to Avengers:Infinity War Part 1 & 2 where the Avengers battle it out with the Mad Titan.
With now Thanos having one of the Gauntlets, which we saw him retrieve from a space-locker of sorts in the Mid Credits scene for Avengers:Age of Ultron. He has one Gauntlet remaining to retrieve which is the one in Odins Vault.
Earlier this year, Kevin Feige revealed that there are two Infinity Gauntlets in the MCU, and revealed that the one which Thanos had retrieved in Age of Ultron was not the real one. Which means he might probably have it in Thor:Ragnarok, since we lastly saw in Thor 2 ending that Loki is ruling Asgard and might help the mad titan retrieve it.
The Infinity Gauntlet was designed to hold six of the 'soul gems', better known as the Infinity Gems. When used in combination their already impressive powers make the wearer able to do anything he/she wants. It was gathered by the mad Titan Thanos as he took the gems from the Elders of the Universe that had originally carried them. Adam Warlock later held the gauntlet, but the Living Tribunal declared that the gems were too dangerous to use together. However, Thanos' later machinations eventually led to Living Tribunal rescinding this restriction.
Back to the 2 Gauntlets, In this universe, there are two Infinity Gauntlets, one Gauntlet that contains replicas of the Infinity Stones is in Odin's Vault, and was guarded by the Destroyer. The second Gauntlet was guarded at an unknown location, from where Thanos took it, deciding to search for the Infinity Stones himself.
What power does the Infinity Stones have?
The only known beings with power exceeding that of the Gauntlet are the Living Tribunal and the One-Above-All. The other thing the Infinity Gauntlet can't do is work outside the Universe it comes from. The Gauntlet from 616 will only work in the 616 universe so on and so forth. It is not powerful enough to destroy the space time continuum by itself and is also incapable of being used to destroy itself.
It should also be noted that the Infinity Gauntlet is limited to strictly universal power. The instance where the Infinity Gauntlet blocked the Ultimate Nullifier was before the latter had a multiversal showing. In all of its other instances, the Ultimate Nullifier was limited to strictly universal scale.
In the comics, there was only one Infinity Gauntlet, rather than two. When holding the Infinity Gems, the Infinity Gauntlet grants the bearer infinite powers when used within the universe of its origin.
The stones shown in the Gauntlet in Odin's Vault are fakes created by Asgardians to show how the item is supposed to look which you can spot above, as Volstagg explained that the only Infinity Stone Asgard has in its possession is the Tesseract.
As for now, enjoy those details i have put up together for you all, share with your friends. In casese I've missed out on anything, hit me up in the comments sections.
We have all the information we need here on the image above, but what I don't understand is how the Soul Stone and the Time Stone got discovered by this guy since they haven't been introduced in the MCU. Rocket Raccoon has an Infinity Stone? Well im not sure about that, Yaka Arrow? I'm not even sure how that got there. But what i heard is that Heimdall might be hiding one of the stones, but we'll find out soon enough in some of Phase 3 Marvel Movies.
Watch this Video From Avengers: Age of Ultron Blu-ray on Infinity Stones.
What do you think of this list? Did i miss anything out? Let us know in the comments below.
Avengers:Infinity War Part 1 & 2 Will hit theaters in 2018 & 2019 respectively.

CCC To Launch Online-Only College
Written by CCC Chancellor's Office
Sacramento, Calif – The California Community Colleges (CCC) will establish a new online community college tailored to provide working learners with skills and credentials they need to move ahead in today's economy.
CCC Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley put his full support behind the initiative, which is a key element of Gov. Jerry Brown's proposed 2018-19 budget for higher education. With an initial investment of $100 million, the CCC is tasked with creating an online-only community college that would target so-called stranded workers who can't access traditional community college programs.
The college will develop short-term credential programs aimed at serving the approximately 2.5 million 25- to 34-year-olds in California with some or no college experience who do not have time to enroll in a traditional community college. By offering flexibility through on-demand education and training, the college will enable working learners to earn college credentials that lead to higher wages.
"California community colleges are serving 2.1 million students each year, but we are still not meeting the needs of 2.5 million others who for a variety of reasons cannot attend classes on our campuses," said Chancellor Oakley. "It's our responsibility to bring the campus to them, and we can do that through a fully online college."
Partnerships Support Proposal
Through partnerships with employers, industry sectors and organized labor, the online community college would offer the skills that match the jobs employers are looking to fill, according to CCCOnlineCollege.org. The college will create program pathways to include vocational training, "upskilling" and credentialing support for jobs in growing industries.
Oakley and CCC Board of Governors President Cecilia V. Estolano said a broad coalition made up of representatives of organized labor, employer groups, education leaders as well as public policy and social justice organizations already backs the proposal.
Estolano noted that the governor's proposal also aligns with the CCC's recently adopted Vision for Success and its goal of better serving working adults looking for non-traditional approaches to boosting their job skills.
"While California's 114 community colleges offer the most economical options for higher education and career training in the country, many working adults are looking for more online opportunities that fit into their schedule," Estolano said.
Governor's Directive
In May of 2017, Gov. Brown urged Oakley in a letter sent to the Chancellor to "take whatever steps are necessary" to establish a new community college that exclusively offers fully online programs.
Four options were presented to the governor in November, and the proposed state budget includes funding to move forward with design and development of a college under a new college district operated by the CCC Chancellor's Office. The proposal calls for an initial investment of $100 over seven years, and $20 annually to fund continuing operations.
The proposal has already garnered support from a wide spectrum of California leaders.
"California must expand access to college to improve the lives of its residents and meet the challenges of the future economy," Mark Baldassare, President and CEO of the Public Policy Institute of California. "The California Community Colleges recognizes the importance of this goal in its proposal to serve students traditionally underrepresented in higher education. In a state known for innovation and world-class higher education, the community college system is ideally situated to pioneer and rigorously evaluate this concept of online education."
"Online education with high-touch support is the only way to educate the 500,000 healthcare workers needed in the next 10 years," said Rebecca Miller, workforce director for SEIU United Health Care Workers. "The future of care delivery demands that providers be digitally fluent and adapt quickly to new technologies. Online education is long overdue for working adults."
"As the largest system of higher education in the nation, the California Community Colleges is a significant source for higher education and training that is seeding jobs across the state," said Linda Bidrossian, senior vice president of the Bay Area Council. "However, not all Californians can physically get to a campus or wait until a traditional semester starts. A fully online community college will enable students and workers to develop or upkeep their skills and ensure educators are positioned to meet learners' needs."
For a full list of supporters and more information about the online college, go to CCCOnlineCollege.org.
About California Community Colleges
The California Community Colleges is the largest system of higher education in the nation composed of 72 districts and 114 colleges serving 2.1 million students per year. Community colleges supply workforce training, basic skills education and prepare students for transfer to four-year institutions. The Chancellor's Office provides leadership, advocacy and support under the direction of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges.

Jim Bentley prepares for Morecambe's big week with MK Dons and Notts County tests
Aaron Collins celebrates his goal against Forest Green Rovers
Gavin Browne
Published: 13:34 Tuesday 12 March 2019
Morecambe boss Jim Bentley is hoping for more of the same when they meet MK Dons on Tuesday night.
The Shrimps welcome the Dons to the Globe Arena (7.45pm), looking to follow up Saturday's 3-0 win against Forest Green Rovers.
That victory moved the Shrimps eight points clear of the League Two relegation places with 10 games of the season remaining.
They now come up against a Dons team sitting in the final automatic promotion spot thanks to a run of five consecutive victories, the last of which was their 3-1 win at second-bottom Macclesfield Town at the weekend.
Morecambe's win against Forest Green was the perfect pick-me-up after defeat at Yeovil Town seven days earlier.
However, Bentley doesn't want any of his players to be resting on their laurels.
He said: "Saturday's gone; it is what is, we've won the game but we've won a couple recently.
"I think it's three wins out of the last five so we're in decent enough form; we're scoring goals and creating chances.
"We let ourselves down at Yeovil when we didn't play particularly well.
"We are in good form and we have to keep on track and make sure we try and churn out points."
Tuesday's game is Morecambe's penultimate home match in March with Crawley Town their visitors at the end of the month.
Between now and then are back-to-back away games with trips to Notts County and Swindon Town on the horizon for Bentley's players.
The former is the more significant of the two with County bottom of the table, seven points from safety and nine adrift of the 20th-placed Shrimps.
Morecambe boss Jim Bentley pays tribute after Andy Fleming's retirement
However, Bentley refused to look too far ahead with Tuesday's game remaining his immediate priority.
He said: "The most important game is the next one which is MK Dons at home.
"If we get another win and results go our way, we could go to Notts County thinking that if we get another win there, it puts more distance between the two clubs.
"However, we have to try and win the MK Dons game first. We will embrace the challenge and hopefully we can do that."

The exact statistics for drug users in Indonesia are unknown. Drugs like putauw (street grade heroin), shabu-shabu (crystal methamphetamine) and other substances are cheap and easily accessible throughout most of Indonesia. Families are being destroyed as drugs ravage their loved ones, as well as entire communities.
Sadly, not only is the drug treatment model in Indonesia outdated and ineffective, but there are also not enough treatment centres to meet demand; the facilities that are available are overcrowded and understaffed. Ex-patients report that they are "more like prisons", rather than caring, supportive treatment environments designed to help Indonesians who want to stop using drugs.
This is why Indonesians represent a growing client group here at The Cabin. We are able to support individuals who cannot access support locally – in a discreet and cost effective way.
Drug addiction does not have to be a terminal condition – though for many people who don't seek help, it can be. However, it is a chronic illness that can – and must – be treated.
Attending an Drug Rehab is Essential to Your Recovery!

The Tribe Where The People Don't Bath in Africa- The Himba People
The Himba people in Namibia are a unique set of humans whose culture has a twist that most of us will find strange. The Himba are often called the Ovahimba or Omhimba people who live in the Kunene region of Namibia.
If you are wondering why this tribe is strange, we can tell you one of their cultures. They give sex for free to their guests and also they adorn newborn with bead necklaces. As if these are not enough, the tribe lives in isolation and is wary of external contacts. The people work hard to ensure that their beliefs and culture is not contaminated in any form by outsiders. You can see why we are curious to know this people who have not accepted civilization.
The Himba people are predominately livestock breeders and farmers while their women are preoccupied with gathering firewood, cooking and serving meals and sourcing for fresh water. Some of the villagers are socially inclined and very religious, reversing and worshiping their ancient gods. Polygamy is welcome and young girls are married off at their early ages. Though polygamy is not peculiar in Africa, it is practiced widely in the continent.
However, not taking their bath is strange. Before you are taking aback, the reason why they don't bath with water is because of the harsh climatic situation in their region. The Himba people lives in one of the most extreme environments; the harsh desert climate and the lack of portable are the reasons why this tribe have difficulty getting a bath.
Their lack of bath routine doesn't mean that they look less pretty. When you find them on their traditional attire, they look great while some have their bodies exposed like the women. Since, taking of bath is difficult, they make use of the red ochre on their skins and then make use of a daily smoke bath in order to maintain their hygiene.
A shouldering charcoal is dropped into a bowl filled with herbs and the smoke is allowed to ascend and the people bow over this smoking bowl and because of heat, the body perspires and helps in washing the body. The people are friendly to strangers and visitors but will not allow any interference in their culture.

Address the root of the issue with stomach bitters that not only relieve digestive concerns but promote nutrient absorption.
Digestion isn't what it used to be, for many people, and that's why digestive bitters are so handy to have! In our society, we really like sweet flavors. We don't get a whole lot of sour or bitter. That doesn't seem so bad, until you realize that bitter and sour flavors promote the secretion of digestive juices which improves how food is digested.
Digestive Stomach Bitters to the Rescue!
A small amount of these all-natural, herbal medicinal bitters (made with organic ingredients) before meals helps to promote healthy, normal digestion. That means no more bloating, better nutrient absorption, and better all-around health!
Forget about all the over-the-counter medications to cover up the problem — digestive medicinal bitters help to address the underlying cause and promote normal digestion, naturally.
Enjoy a small amount in your drink before meals, and see how much better you feel, fast! Our medicinal bitters are safe for all ages.
Organic herbs (dandelion root, orange peel, cinnamon, fennel seed), organic cane-derived alcohol, filtered water.
Shelf Life: 2 years. Safe for ages 1+. No known contraindications in pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
I think these were made just for me. Of the 6 problems listed in the product description, I suffer from 5 of them!!! This supplement is already helping to improve my digestion and lessen my symptoms- and it is such a relief!
This has really helped my gut health. It has relieved, if not made vanish, all of the problems listed!
I have noticed a big difference in my recent stomach issues since I started taking Digest Support. I also take this after meals if I'm having heartburn. It stops the pain quickly.
OMG, my lifesaver has finally arrived! I have suffered from IBS symptoms for many years, trying diet after diet, supplement after supplement, herbs, homeopathics, etc. Very little of what I have done has made a difference but this combination is a winner! I am now able to eat most foods without major issues (and if I get an upset stomach, I just take some Digest-Ease). Thank you all SO much for making this; this is the product that my tummy has been begging for!!!
I am very impressed with this product. It quickly eases symptoms of gas and indigestion after eating. The taste is not bad at all either!
It was very gentle and quick results. I liked that it was natural and safe.
I love this product! Very effective and quick results for all kinds of digestive issues. I have not found anything else out there that has worked this well. Just reordered and bought the larger bottle this time. I appreciate that Earthley offers a lot of products in several sizes so that you can try them out.
I take this before eating foods that cause me to be gassy or bloated. I mix it with a little water and it tastes like an herbal tea. I've only been using it for a few weeks here and there and so far it seems to help.
Digest-Support has helped me feel better after indulging a little too much on yummy foods. I've taken it before meals as well as a while after eating (when the "I shouldn't have eaten the whole thing!" feeling shows up), and it's worked like a charm. I try not to do that too often but sometimes it just tastes sooooo good! 🙂 Another great Earthley product!
Got this for my 7 year old who often gets reflux after eating and has other digestive issues. It definitely seems to have helped improve his digestion. We are doing other things too so its hard to know if it's just this or the combination of everything we are doing. The best part is he is burping less! He use to burp all the time and it drove us crazy. But using this before meals seems to really help. And the effects are long lasting! The only down side is the taste. I don't think it's that bad. But a picky kid like mine is going to whine about the taste.

In a high-cost health care world, more and more patients are looking for physical therapy to help them manage various conditions. They have a lot of options. So, when they visit your website, will it draw them to you instead of push them to a competitor?
Part of what makes the difference is support from a physical therapy web design company. Through the research-driven physical therapy web design services that an agency offers, you can build a website that generates leads and increases conversions.
What will a physical therapy web design agency want to include in your website? What factors help increase traffic and generate leads? Here are some examples.
Simplified design. A cluttered website distracts visitors and turns them away before you can convert them. You want a streamlined site that focuses on the essentials. Here is where a physical therapy web design company can help you, by identifying which information and images are most important.
Streamlined site navigation. Keep the site's navigation menu to six or fewer items, linking to the most important pages of your site. This makes it easier for patients to find the information they need.
Contact information. The goal of your site is to get patients to your practice, so you need to make it easy for them to reach you. Put your phone number prominently on the site, such as in the top right-hand corner. Include contact forms that encourage visitors to reach out to you.
Office hours and location information. Prospective patients will want to know where your facility is located. Therefore, you need to communicate that information — including mapping and business hours.
Compelling calls to action. If you want prospects to reach out to you, you have to tell them. Use clear, succinct calls to action to have them schedule an appointment, contact you (phone or online) or learn more about your practice.
Relevant industry information. In today's Internet world, patients tend to research conditions and symptoms online long before seeing a health care provider. Take advantage of this by creating a website filled with educational information about physical therapy, conditions you treat, news in the field, etc. — and you can attract prospects at the moments they're researching.
Responsive design. Expect visitors to view your site both on desktops and mobile devices. That's why you need a responsive design that can adapt to whatever viewing device someone is using.
Are you interested in learning more about the kind of website design a physical therapy web design firm such as Straight North offers? Contact us today at 855-883-0011 or request a quote online.

Governor Sanwo-Olu announces plans to grant amnesty to repentant cultists
The Lagos State Government on Tuesday, November 26th said it is making plans to grant amnesty to repentant cultists and to reform those with criminal inclinations.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu made this known while briefing newsmen after the State Security meeting at the Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
According to him, "there is a programme coming up, hopefully before the end of the year to provide amnesty for cultists and people with criminal tendency.
The security council believes we can open up the period of amnesty for them. We want them to come forward to turn new leave. I don't want to use the word rehabilitate," he said.
The governor also warned pipeline vandals and criminal elements hanging around the Atlas Cove and Tarkwa Bay to stop their nefarious activities or get out of the State, Sanwo-Olu, who revealed that maintenance of peace and security, particularly as the year drew to a close was discussed extensively, said residents should desist from locking up their street gates, as such an act often impede security operatives and that if any gate must be shut at all, it should be manned by persons who could open them during emergencies.
In his words: "We want to communicate with our CDAs and CDCs that closure of gates are things that we will review seriously because a lot of breeches occur. We want to keep all the gates open during the day and ensure that they are manned at night.
If they are found under lock and key, notices will be given to them and thereafter such gates will be removed." The governor pointed out that the Nigerian Army was currently conducting the 4th edition of its operation Crocodile Smile in the State and that Lagosians should not be alarmed at seeing many armed soldiers around them.
He said the meeting also resolved that those planning to organise street carnivals should obtain permits from the Lagos State Police Command beforehand. Reiterating that the executive order on driving against traffic, popularly called "one way" still stand, the governor announced that all security operatives had been given marching orders to arrest offenders, and to also implement the restriction of motorcycles on some roads in the Lagos metropolis.
He also warned drivers of articulated vehicles who often park on and under the bridges and under power lines to desist from the dangerous act.
On traffic gridlock, Sanwo-Olu said government was on top of it, adding that "we are manning our traffic issues, the Nigeria Police will be working with the LASTMA and with our men in public works and also with our road construction to ensure that there is free flow of traffic in and around construction site. "We are going to restrict the operation of the men of the VIO to off peak period between the hours of 12 mid-day to 3p.m," he said.

There has been a long line of MCs to try their hand at singing their own hooks (Nas, Ghostface, Ol' Dirty, 50 Cent, etc.) but none of them (with the exception of maybe Missy Elliott) have taken their voice seriously--it's always been a tongue-in-cheek thing. Latifah was the first rapper to do it well. After NATURE OF A SISTA, the Queen had critics taken aback upon hearing her vocals on tracks such as "Give Me Your Love" and "Just Another Day?"--who can forget that cut's seamless transition from sweet harmonizing to rugged street flow?
On TRAV'LIN' LIGHT, the follow-up to THE DANA OWENS ALBUM, Latifah expands her vocal repertoire, covering a variety of jazz standards, soul classics, and guilty pop pleasures made famous by the likes of Nina Simone, the Pointer Sisters, Etta James, Antonio Carlos Jobim, and 10cc. TRAV'LIN' LIGHT features guest work from Christian McBride, George Duke, Joe Sample, and Stevie Wonder, who offers up his trademark harmonica on "Georgia Rose."

Jim McElwain doesn't hear the noise, he sees Florida football's progress
Image Credit: ESPN Images
Where you see purgatory, Jim McElwain sees progress.
The Florida Gators may not be world beaters this season, and the team has definitely painted itself into a corner with uneven play, but the usually jovial McElwain believes the Gators are headed down the right path, whether you see it or not.
"I've been doing this a long time. I just know that what we're doing with this football team is the right thing," he said.
McElwain recognizes that Will Muschamp, whose South Carolina team Florida vanquished 20-7 on Saturday, did him a massive favor by recruiting top-tier defensive talent that led the Gators to an SEC East title in 2015 and may well have them repeat in 2016 if all goes right next Saturday.
He also understands that Florida's offense, which Muschamp left without any depth along the line and a serious lack of playmakers (and confidence), is slowly but surely coming along even if you don't recognize that its three-points-per-game improvement from 2015 is one of the top marks in the nation.
"Am I happy with [the offense]? I've answered that before: absolutely not. But I also know the parts and what's there and the direction we're headed. And I'm excited about it," McElwain said. "I think we had a little bit of a look into that [Saturday], and that's a good thing."
But most of all, McElwain does not have his head in the sand when it comes to some early talk about the job he's doing and whether the Gators are indeed moving in the right direction — so-called "noise in the system." He hears it. He understands it. And he doesn't care.
"You come to the University of Florida, there's noise in the system no matter what. That's the beauty of a place like this. You have a bunch of people that care, and a bunch that know football," he said after improving to 11-1 at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. "The noise piece, you can see it didn't bother our guys. … These guys are working their tail off."
McElwain has spoke often about his upbringing, noting that his dad was tough but fair and that he's had obstacles to overcome at every level of football whether player or coach. He harkened back to that again Saturday.
"I've been criticized my whole life. Shoot, you grow up in Montana, if you don't have thick skin, you're in trouble," he said.
But McElwain doesn't see a Florida program in trouble. He sees that the Gators have dropped the "sky is falling" mentality they had a year ago when something would go wrong during a game. He sees a defense that stepped up to dominate an opponent Saturday with four of its six best players sidelined due to injury. He sees an offense that has not only made that scoring improvement but is still coming along behind a line that is still under construction and playmakers that are in the midst of developing.
He sees a team that is calm, confident and poised during games, whether it has the lead or is fighting to come back. He sees players that truly care for each other and are on the cusp of being selfless the way they seemingly are at Alabama and look to be at Clemson and Ohio State.
"It is outside noise. We're inside, most all the day. Very rarely see it outside. It's dark, there's film on, most of the time. When we're in that locker room, you don't feel that at all," he said, half-joking.
"These guys, look, they're starting to really understand what it is to give up yourself for the benefit of others. We still got some selfish guys, it's gonna happen, but they'll find out there might be better places for them to go. We're going to have guys that care about each other, and that's what I love, and that's what I see.
"When you do that, you don't get the dissension piece, you don't get the panic. It's not how it works. In building a program, that's one of the base principles, foundations and fundamentals of being successful. I love it."
What McElwain would love even more is to see all that come together Saturday when Florida faces its toughest test of the season, a LSU team zeroed in on ruining the Gators' chance to return to the SEC Championship Game.
Jim McElwain SEC SEC Championship
Snell's Slant: Yes, the Gators are on a title run
Does Florida's Jim McElwain deserve the benefit of the doubt win or lose at LSU
Florida deserves underdog status, but Gators certainly belong in the SEC Championship
cline says:
Go Gators!
W2 says:
The Tennessee collapse and the Arkansas debacle notwithstanding, I also think we're moving in the right direction.
Nothing like going to see a game in person. You get to see a lot of stuff not shown in the telecast. I saw a lot during the South Carolina game that indicated we have a great group of kids (Marcell Harris is one of them. . . you can see that he gets really concerned and visibly upset when one of his teammates go down. . got to love that). I agree with Mac that it all starts right there.
I can get frustrated with him sometimes but, overall, kind of hard not to like Coach Mac, the way he represents our school, and the direction our football program is heading.
Go Gators!!!

Portagers down Chippewas, 43-36
Scott Yoshonis
Published 11:16 pm EST, Tuesday, February 28, 2017
ONEKAMA — After a tough stretch in which Onekama lost six boys basketball games in seven tries, the Portagers have now won four of their last five after a tough 43-36 home win over Manistee on Tuesday.
Jacob Mauntler led all scorers with 17 points for Onekama (8-11), in a game that head coach Nathan Bradford said served as a good test with districts coming up.
"There are going to be games where you grind it out, and I know Manistee's record is not the best, but they played hard," Bradford said. "They came and battled."
Jack Sandstedt led the way with 12 points for the Chippewas (3-16), who extended their losing streak to 10 games in a row.
Manistee head coach Dan Gustad said that this loss was especially hard to take.
"This was a big letdown for us," Gustad said. "We thought we could play with them, we felt that this would be a good night to get a win under our belt. It's been such a long stretch that it's frustrating."
The Chippewas played solid defense from the get-go, holding Onekama to just 6 points in the first quarter, and staying within one possession for the bulk of the first half.
"We only shot 18 percent in the first quarter," Bradford said. "I said, 'Just be patient, it will come, we're not going to shoot like this all night. A least I hope not.'"
Mauntler gave the Portagers a bit of breathing room with a 3-pointer that stretched their lead to 6 with 55 seconds left in the second quarter, but Sandstedt scored four straight points, including an acrobatic fallaway 8-footer at the halftime buzzer that made the score 22-20 at the break.
Manistee took the lead early in the third quarter on a Sandstedt jumper that made the score 23-20 two minutes into the second half, but a long jumper by Joseph McCarthy started a little 7-0 Onekama run, and the Portagers never trailed after that.
The Chippewas trailed by just four, 34-30 after Anselmo Sarabia took the ball coast-to-coast with 6:04 left in the contest, but Manistee went on an extended scoring drought from there.
Austin Guenther broke the dry spell with the first of his two fourth-quarter 3-pointers, but they did not come until the final minute, by which time Onekama had amassed a 42-30 lead largely from the free-throw line when Manistee was forced to foul.
"If we don't miss a couple of shots here, a couple of shots there, it's a different ballgame," Gustad said. "Their zone defense was very effective, and we didn't attack the seams, we didn't attack the weak spots. We did it occasionally, but we didn't do it consistently.
"That's something we're going to have to work on, because people are going to play us in a zone because we're not great shooters. We have to find ways to score."
Jeremiah Torrey finished with 8 points and Austin Sovereign added 7 for Onekama, who will finish the regular season at Benzie Central on Thursday, March 2.
Guenther finished with 9 points and Jacob Gustad added 7 for Manistee, who will play Mason County Central at home on Thursday in its regular-season finale.


We at the Pay to Play Law Blog have received the following from Georgia Common Cause concerning their proposal for a Pay to Play ordinance for the City of Atlanta. We appreciate the submission and attach it herein in its entirety and unedited. The positions taken here are entirely those of Georgia Common Cause.
While we salute Mayor Franklin for her leadership in establishing a more ethical climate in City government, one of the things we see as little changed from past administrations is well-connected insiders continuing to show up in disproportionate numbers of the chosen few who are selected for work contracted by the City of Atlanta, and by the Atlanta airport.
While we can't – and don't want to try to – change human nature, we do believe in taking steps to increase trust that those whom we elect and employ to administer our procurement policies will not allow personal preferences to steer contracts to less qualified companies, and that our tax dollars will not be wasted. One reform we can implement, if we want to raise the level of confidence in how our tax money is spent, is to separate the offering up of campaign contributions from the awarding of contracts. That is what Pay-to-play reform is all about.
Pay-to-play has been at the heart of numerous news stories around the country within the past year: Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich, The withdrawal of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson's Cabinet nomination, and the collapse of the mortgage giants after Congress – which reaped millions from Wall Street in campaign cash – deregulated the industry and ignored repeated warnings of disaster. In August, New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine issued an order freezing the development approval process in cities and towns whose mayors have refused to resign despite being charged in a federal corruption probe involving bribes paid to local officials to speed up development projects.
Atlanta has had its share of scandals around pay-to-play. The Ronnie Thornton airport runway dirt deal dominated the headlines a few years ago. Airport advertiser Billy Corey and his Airport Services company continue to this day their five year court battle over alleged cronyism in the awarding of the 2002 advertising contract to Clear Channel Communications and their DBE partner Barbara Fouch, a close friend of Former Mayor Maynard Jackson, who has had a piece of the airport advertising business since 1981.
Rather than wait for a local scandal to prompt us, why not take steps to discourage practices that can lead to scandals? Let's work together to find a way to make it work in the City of Atlanta, then make it work elsewhere in the state as well. Let's start the process.
How does Pay to play reform work?
Common Cause has offered a model ordinance for consideration in the current Atlanta Mayoral and Council races. Our proposal is not structured as a campaign finance law change, but as a new condition of contracting. It's quite a simple concept. People can either contribute freely to the campaigns of candidates, or they can qualify to receive contract work with the City of Atlanta. They cannot do both. All companies submitting bids and continuing contracting arrangements with the City would be asked to certify that they had not contributed more than a minimal amount to candidates for Mayor of City Council in the previous 12 months. Enforcement would rest with the contracting office. Companies or individuals violating the statute would be disqualified from further business with the City. To see a summary of the proposed reforms for Atlanta, click here. To read the model ordinance, click here.
We believe it's time to take Atlanta to the next level of ethical government. No more inferences that those who play should pay. Let's create a system where we are making sure that City contracts go to the best cost-effective service provider, not the best-connected company.
We are grateful to Georgia Common Cause for their submission, and invite any interested commentary on the topic.
In addition to the concerns addressed in our previous post, the regulated community should take notice – and contemplate the impact – of the proposed amendment to the City of Atlanta Procurement and Contracting Code. To be sure, the specter of campaign contributions to procurement officials from those seeking city contracts can be unseemly; but so can the prospect of a system in which only individuals wealthy enough to self-fund their campaigns have the means to seek elected office. In our view, public disclosure of contributions and transparency far better balance the competing ideals of democracy and procurement fraud prevention than outright contribution bans.
It is easy to contemplate how that language – crafted as broadly and vaguely as it is – could capture a great deal of seemingly innocent behavior with dire consequences. Imagine being the compliance office who has to tell your boss the CEO that her company's life-blood contract with the City of Atlanta has been terminated for cause, and the company is liable to the City of Atlanta for all damages resulting from the termination, because the aggregate of all the contributions to a City of Atlanta politician by all of the company's officers, directors, partners and salaried employees of the company exceeded $250, or because a competitor alleged that the company made a single "indirect" gift "for the benefit" of an employee of the City of Atlanta.
One can envision that birthday parties for City of Atlanta employees would be lonely places indeed.
Proposed Pay-to-Play Regulation in Atlanta: Good Government or Overly Restrictive?
Common Cause Georgia has entered the fray of the upcoming Atlanta Mayoral election by challenging all candidates to support "pay-to-play" reform. Under Common Cause's proposed legislation, no person or entity who made a contribution of over $250 to the campaign of a Mayoral or City Council candidate would be eligible to submit a bid or perform a contract for the City of Atlanta for the next year. Further, the proposed legislation would restrict contributions of any amount by a City contractor to a City official or candidate during the term of the contract. The proposal places similar restrictions on gifts to City officials or employees.
While few would argue that the procurement process in Atlanta doesn't need more sunshine, the Common Cause proposal appears to go a few steps to far. Most troublesome is the proposal to prohibit persons who make contributions of over $250 from bidding on any City of Atlanta contracts for the next year, as the prohibition applies even if the contract in question was not in existence at the time of the contribution. Restricting contribution amounts in this manner would undoubtedly chill the making of political contributions for City of Atlanta elections altogether, as any person or entity with any potential interest in any City contract in the future could not make contributions without the fear of being locked out of all future business. This is the sort of broad restriction that has proven to be problematic in jurisdictions such as Colorado. Similarly problematic is the apparent willingness to consider contributions by spouses and children of contributors in making prohibition determinations. Again, Colorado should serve as a cautionary tale here.
In sum, real ethics reform for the City of Atlanta needs to be seriously contemplated. However, the current Common Cause proposal is far too broad in its current state to warrant further consideration.
In the aftermath of the well-publicized "pay-to-play" scandals in locales such as Illinois and New Mexico in early 2009, a number of state legislators across the country felt compelled to propose pay-to-play legislation in their own states. One such state where legislation was proposed in 2009–and likely will be again in 2010–is Georgia.
During the 2009 Legislative Session, veteran Senator George Hooks (D-Americus) proposed Senate Bill 70, which would have extended Georgia's existing ban on contributions from "regulated entities" to certain "elected state executive officers." O.C.G.A. § 21-5-30.1 currently states in part that "no regulated entity and no person or political action committee acting on behalf of a regulated entity shall make a contribution to or on behalf of a person holding office as an elected executive officer regulating such entity" or to a candidate for such office. The statute further states that nothing in this prohibition shall prevent individuals employed by "regulated entities" from making contributions to applicable "elected executive officers" from their personal funds.
While Senate Bill 70 failed to become law, it did not go quietly into the night. Indeed, Senate Bill 70 passed the Senate unanimously, and ultimately was sponsored by legislators of both parties. Such factors indicate both that similar legislation is likely to appear again in Georgia in 2010, and that pay-to-play legislation has the continued potential to receive bi-partisan support nationwide.

Olympics: World Athletics chief Sebastian Coe says 'We'll be in Tokyo'

https://str.sg/Jxu3
MONACO (AFP) - As the coronavirus pandemic sweeps the world, Tokyo Olympics organisers received a boost on Thursday (March 12) with World Athletics president Sebastian Coe's assumption that track and field would take place at the Games.
There is growing concern that the Tokyo Games, scheduled for July 24-Aug 9, will be either postponed or even cancelled as the outbreak of Covid-19 spreads.
A multitude of sporting events have been either cancelled or postponed as public health authorities worldwide move to contain the virus, of which there have been more than 127,000 cases recorded in 115 countries and territories, killing 4,687 people, according to an AFP tally.
World Athletics had already been forced to postpone the world indoor championships in the Chinese city of Nanjing until March 2021. The world half-marathon champs in Poland have been pushed back to October and a number of marathons across the world have been cancelled.
"On the broader picture of what does the remaining element of the season look like, it will be a challenge for everybody," Coe told AFP in an interview in Monaco.
"We are working on the assumption that we will be in Tokyo where our sport will be able to flourish.
"We are planning to be in Tokyo. There are no contingencies."
Coe, who was chairman of the organising committee of the 2012 London Olympics, added that World Athletics were "clearly monitoring the situation by the hour".
"We have to monitor and have to deal with the situations in real time and that has taken up a lot of our thinking space and that of our member federations.
"This has posed challenges almost wherever you look in our sport."
MORE OPPORTUNITIES
But Coe, a two-time Olympic 1500m gold medallist for Britain, played down the wider effect that the cancellation of track and field meets might have on potential qualifying for the Tokyo Olympics.
"I'm not sanguine or particularly cavalier about the situation, but our sport is in better shape than most because we have many more opportunities for our athletes to qualify," he told AFP.

"We also have a qualification process that has now been up and running for 10 months so many athletes are already qualified.
"Where we identify athletes that are facing particular difficulties, maybe in a particular part of the world, then there are things we can do to help."
Asked whether he could envisage the Olympics going ahead, but with no spectators, Coe refused to be drawn.
"I don't want to speculate," said the Briton, who is a member of the Tokyo Olympics Games Coordination Commission.
"At the moment, it's important our sport supports the International Olympic Committee, the public authorities in Japan and the local organising committee there.
"Our proposition is a very simple one and it is 'We'll be in Tokyo'."

A global network of schools, Brookes Education Group is connected through a common philosophy – inclusive, creative, and personalised learning that enables young people to become caring and compassionate advocates for themselves and the world they live in. We embrace creativity, develop connections, and build character to encourage our students to engage in the world and effect meaningful change.

We join with the IB in our commitment to develop young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through education that builds intercultural understanding and respect.
At the forefront of our priorities is the safety, support and care of our Brookes families, and the safeguarding of student learning across the network. The events of the past week motivate us to redouble our efforts to build a better world, to bridge divides and enhance international understanding. As international educators, we cannot ignore these issues, but rather, foster a safe and supportive environment for student inquiry, both inside and outside of the classroom. We will continue to empower and teach students about global issues by connecting current news, personal experiences and different perspectives as we strive to use our world as a tool and a canvas for action and learning.
We stand resolute for the respect of all people and the belief that education can improve the lives of all people. Our schools will continue to focus on inclusivity, peace, humanity, and equality to create a brighter future for all.

I remember clearly that when I made the first silver ring (very simple flat ring) in the metal working class of junior college.It was so SO much fun! and very precious time for me. About 20 years has passed since that. I'm super lucky to be able to continue to make my works with fun feeling. I was renewed web site in commemoration of the 20 anniversary. I had forgotten until the other day…and although exactly it is next year… ha ha ha… I made this enameling pendant when I was a student.


These are beautiful sparkly letters with a tiny bell in the corner.
They look fantastic if you tie as gift tags on special presents or for adding colour and sparkle to the home.
Also great as napkin holders for special dinners or weddings.

Q: Once an active cell value is found, how to select 5 rows above and 20 rows below I have been helped with other problems, but this is a new one, when a cell has the data value 4, I need to select 5 rows above that, and 20 rows below that and cut / copy that data to another sheet. I have everything else sorted, just this cut above and below the data point.

A: Copy Rows
Sub RowsCopy()

    Const cSource As Variant = "Sheet1" ' Source Worksheet Name/Index
    Const cTarget As Variant = "Sheet2" ' Target Worksheet Name/Index
