There is little rest throughout the spring for golfers aiming to win their place on the PGA EuroPro Tour for the coming season and George Mullins was in action across two weeks at the end of March and beginning of April.
A huge period of the year began with the Qualifying School Stage One at the Players Club Codrington Course on Thursday March 28th.
It's no secret the weather has not kind across the United Kingdom in March and the wind and rain did not let up for the golfers in Bristol. The qualifying tournament was to be played across 36 holes of golf but due to the weather, Mullins only completed 11 holes before the round was called off for the day.
Some players only managed to play one hole and the organisers decided the second round would be cancelled and players would resume from where they left off in the their first round the day before. It's always a tough test for a golfer mentally, to arrive at a tournament with a schedule in mind, only for that to be torn up due to uncontrollable circumstances, such as the weather.
Mullins resumed his round and despite dropping a couple of shots on his way back to the clubhouse, the Englishman registered a score of 3 over par, which left him T36 for the tournament and that was enough to secure a place in the playoff for the Final Qualifying School.
Playoffs are extreme pressure situations but Mullins held his nerve to claim one of three spots and book his place in the Final Qualifying School.
Conditions were tough for Mullins in Bristol and there was a lot more where that came from in the Final Qualifying School tournament at Frilford Heath Golf Club on Wednesday 4th April. Mullins was out early on the first day of the tournament and rain was once again an issue. However, Mullins recorded a good round of 1 under par, making four birdies in the process.
The second round start time was also less than kind for Mullins and having started early in the first round, he was given a late tee off time for the second round. Once again, conditions were against the Englishman and his final score of 4 over par does not reflect the quality of golf played over the two rounds.
Unfortunately, a final score of 3 over left Mullins finish tied for 82nd place, which saw him miss the cut by just one shot. However, the good news is that the level of performance over the two days means Mullins remains confident of playing in the majority, if not all of the EuroPro Tour golf tournaments this season.
This will be a fantastic experience for Mullins and coupled with additional tournaments throughout the year, 2018 promises a great deal for the 21-year-old golfer.

2022 Valentines Day
Every February, across the country, candy, flowers, and gifts are exchanged between loved ones, all in the name of St. Valentine. But who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this holiday? The history of Valentine's Day — and its patron saint — is shrouded in mystery. But we do know that February has long been a month of romance. St. Valentine's Day, as we know it today, contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition. So, who was Saint Valentine and how did he become associated with this ancient rite? Today, the Catholic Church recognizes at least three different saints named Valentine or Valentinus, all of whom were martyred.
One legend contends that Valentine was a priest who served during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men — his crop of potential soldiers. Valentine, realizing the injustice of the decree, defied Claudius and continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Researchers: OpenOffice at least as vulnerable as MS Office
Hackers could easily transport anti-Office strategies to open soure OpenOffice, paper published in French journal says.
By ZDNet Editors for ZDNet Government | August 15, 2006 -- 18:34 GMT (11:34 PDT) | Topic: Microsoft
Despite claims that OpenOffice has only one bug, which has subsequently been fixed, researchers from the French Ministry of Defense says that the numerous security flaws found in Microsoft Office applications are "easily transportable to OpenOffice," reports News.com.
The report disputes claims by the open-source community that OpenOffice is more secure than Microsoft Office products.
"The viral hazard attached to OpenOffice.org is at least as high as that for the Microsoft Office suite, and even higher when considering some... aspects. This suite is up to now still vulnerable to many potential malware attacks," the researchers wrote.
The report, published in the Paris-based Journal of Computer Virology, describes four examples of how faulty code can infest OpenOffice and release hazards. The weaknesses are focused around issues such as the use of zip files, and in particular the use of macro programming procedures and templates.

"traitor" wins more support at the Hot AC format.
by Brian Cantor Nov 10, 2021, 3:42 pm
Olivia Rodrigo in traitor | Video screen | Geffen/Interscope
Its run at pop radio may be over, but Olivia Rodrigo's "traitor" continues to gain traction at the hot adult contemporary format. The song, in fact, tops this week's Mediabase Hot AC radio add board.
"traitor" won support from another 15 Mediabase-monitored stations this week. The new support should allow "traitor" to continue its recent string of big Hot AC airplay gains.
With 14 adds each, Neiked, Mae Muller & Polo G's "Better Days" and Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak's Silk Sonic song "Smokin Out The Window" tie for second place.
Post Malone & The Weeknd's "One Right Now" follows in fourth place with opening week adds from 11 stations. Justin Bieber's "Ghost," a new playlist option for 10 stations, lands fifth place on the Mediabase Hot AC add board.

Please join Michael's family for a Celebration of Life Gathering.
Good natured, kind, and a blessing to many, Michael Swintz was a very special husband, son, brother, and uncle. Nearly everyone who was lucky enough to have the pleasure of knowing him found comfort in his sincerity and loyal friendship. Gentle as well as loving, he would go out of his way for any family member or friend in need. Taken too soon, Michael leaves behind many wonderful memories for his family and friends to cherish lovingly in their hearts forever.
Reflecting on the year 1987, it was a time that brought about disposable contacts, the music of Michael Jackson, and the popular television sitcom, Full House. With the computer age gaining momentum, William and Karen (Dietz) Swintz welcomed the arrival of their newborn son, Michael on February 20th in South Bend, Indiana. His birth brought much joy and happiness into their lives.
Growing up sandwiched between his older sister, Jennifer and his younger sister, Brittany he managed being the only boy in a female-dominated household. Just after finishing up the first grade, The Swintz family relocated to the Paw Paw area where Mike was known to be a naturally gifted athlete in the community he called home. Outgoing and active, his teen years were filled with football, baseball, and basketball practices and games as well as golf and tennis matches. Known to always be on the go and even ate while standing, Mike lived his life to the fullest. With his athletic prowess and innate skill set, there were not many sports that could challenge him. In fact, anything that Mike set out to do he gave his all. Balancing between playing running back or a defensive lineman in football, his teammates knew he always had their backs. No greater friendships were formed during those years of blood, sweat, and tears whether he was on the field, the court, or the fairway. Hard to believe that in addition to his tight schedule season to season he also worked at Putter's Family Fun Center, Lowe's, and Jungle Joes.
Graduating with the Class of 2005 from Paw Paw High School, Mike had his sights set on a Tennis Management degree from Ferris State University. Eventually, he switched to a general business degree and brought his studies back home but not without lasting memories from his time as a Bulldog. He took courses at both Kalamazoo Valley Community College and Western Michigan University before securing a position with Consumers Energy that suited him well. His co-workers from those early years of reading meters looked forward to Mike's sense of humor to make the days fly by. A hard worker and a great listener with a gift of gab made him easy to get along with and someone to look forward to greeting on the next shift.
Hard to know exactly when he fell in love with his favorite team, the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, but there was never any doubt that he was one of their greatest fans. Mike had all types of Notre Dame paraphernalia from t-shirts, to ball caps, to tailgate Koozies. He was looking forward to continuing his collection of tattoos by adding a full sleeve of ND fanfare! It really is no surprise that any woman who would steal his heart would also have to be equally in love with his Fighting Irish and Caitlin Hunt was just that person! Meeting back during his days at Jungle Joe's, his competitive nature won her over after she gave him quite a chase! Excited to spend the rest of their lives together, Mike proposed in front of Touchdown Jesus, a visible mural in front of the Notre Dame Stadium during a spring game. The Cressey Barn in Plainwell was the perfect setting for their wedding ceremony on August 29, 2015. Being beach lovers, they planned a beautiful honeymoon in Jamaica.
Mike and Caitlin settled in Portage with their two furry feline companions, Louie and Lola looking forward to building lasting memories together. The two of them were inseparable and no one ever had to question Mike's love for his wife as he always put her first. They shared season tickets to the Notre Dame games and enjoyed tailgating both away and at home! Family and friends were important to them both and they shared their time at local high school sporting events, hanging out at Jac's Pizza, or gathering after softball games. Mike's love of sports and competitive spirit never left him from his high school years and he was still known to play a round of golf or pick up a racket! He could also easily pick up any card or board game as he was most content around other people. In fact, any time he was active or joking with friends and family his heart was happy. Nothing brought him greater joy than pulling pranks or playing practical jokes on others as Mike was always the life of the party!
Baking cookies every Christmas and filling up his plate on Thanksgiving were special holiday traditions, yet the Notre Dame season opener was indeed his favorite holiday! Nearly everything in his life was scheduled around football season. He'd fire up the grill and kick back with friends ready to take on another season where win or lose the memories were the goal! Not one to sit still for long, when it came to relaxation, Mike enjoyed the tranquil waters of South Haven and Drummond Island. He lived in his shorts and thrived in warm weather. Tuning into country music lifted his spirits and put a smile on his face. After a brief diagnosis of cancer, Mike sadly passed away. Described as a stand-up guy who was generous beyond measure, Mike will be dearly missed. His positive outlook and joyous spirit will be the greatest gifts he leaves behind for all who knew and loved him.

Avalanche chess is a chess variant designed by Ralph Betza in 1977. After moving one of their own pieces, a player must move one of the opponent's pawns forward one square.

Game rules
Rules are as normal chess except that after making a legal move, a player must move one of the opponent's pawns exactly one square forward (i.e. towards the player) to complete the turn. Capturing with an opponent's pawn is not permitted. If the opponent has no pawns or none can be moved, then that part of the turn is skipped. The pawn moved forward cannot be used by the opponent to capture en passant. If an opponent's pawn is moved to promotion, then the opponent chooses to what piece it promotes; if the promotion gives check, the opponent wins the game. If every legal pawn move forward gives check, then the opponent wins immediately, even if the player checked or mated the opponent previously that same turn.

Specifics regarding check
 Check can be given on either or both halves of a player's turn.
 A player in check must get out of check on the first half of their turn.
 A move into check is illegal even if moving an opponent's pawn on the second half of the turn would remove the check.

When you walk into a gym like NYSC's Wall Street location, you've got over 5,000 pieces of exercise equipment (really!) and more than 50 classes a week. How do you know which are right for you? And which may be wrong.
Whether you train on your own, with a friend or group or with a professional trainer, personalized training is about getting the right program for you. This article will share the "secret process" a personal trainer uses to personalize your training. Try it on your own, or let me know if you need some help.
What's with the frightening picture of personal training presented on television? Trainers behave like screaming drill sergeants who push and whip their clients through extreme workout programs that produce amazing results. It's like some secret dark art practiced by a cult of Adonises.
It usually doesn't work that way. Most of us in the real world of personal training follow a different approach. We design programs with careful consideration to avoiding injury, ensuring consistency and helping our clients meet their goals. And many of the best trainers aren't nearly pretty enough for TV.
Some people are on a mission to do every single exercise in the gym. Others do a very small list of the same exercises over and over again, sometimes for years and years. Then, there are those who follow a "one-size-fits-all program," a program that they've bought or pulled from the latest issue of a magazine or gotten from a friend.
When someone says to me "I've just joined and need someone to show me how to work the machines," my response is always the same: "Let's talk about the most important machine in the gym. Your body. Let's find the right exercises for YOU."
"80% OF LIFE IS JUST SHOWING UP"
You can't succeed until you figure out what it takes to get yourself to exercise on a regular basis. Will you make an appointment with yourself and keep it? Do you need an appointment with a friend so you don't cancel? Maybe a class? Or a written program to follow and log? Can you keep the commitment to exercise on your own? Do you get bored easily? Will you push yourself hard enough? If two weeks or more pass by and you've skipped your exercise appointment, your plan isn't working.
One surprising thing I've learned since becoming a trainer: most clients train because they just will not show up on their own without the threat of being charged for cancellation. Recently a few clients even told me how good they felt after buying a personal training package: "Now I know I will workout 2-3x a week for the next few months."
The same is true of those advertised programs. The logs and variation keep you coming back and keep it interesting. No wonder people get results.
THEN WHY DO I NEED A PERSONALIZED PROGRAM?
In some cases the answer is obvious. Maybe you have a medical condition, are coming back to the gym after physical therapy, or participate in a competitive sport and need to improve performance and/or reduce risk of injuries. For the rest of the world, a truly personalized exercise program can improve your physical condition, strength, posture, movement and athletic abilities. Incorrec exercise selection can exacerbate problems with posture and movement and will not produce the desired results, while sticking with the same program for too long will lead to you to plateau and stop improving. In some cases, this can lead to the same kind of repetitive stress injuries that you might associate with factory workers.
Your personalized program starts with an inventory of YOU, including goals, medical background, and issues that affect exercise.
1. What is your age and weight?
3. What is your current program and exercise experience? If you've taken classes or worked with trainers before, what were the results, what did you like and dislike?
4. Do you have any current or past injuries, medical conditions, pain or sensitive areas?
5. What is your lifestyle: what do you do at work and for recreation?
6. How often can you work out and how much time can you spend?
7. Which exercises do you like and which do you dislike?
8. Do you have any problems with posture and movement?
The single most important part of any personalized fitness program - and the oneso often missing - is a Fitness Assessment. This is the one thing that allows the program to be personalized to YOU.
Sometimes the assessment is based on testing; often it is based on your history and a simple "visual inspection." Many times, I've already taken note of a client's issues and have them perform tests to demonstrate and explain the issue and program rationale to them.
Among people I meet in NYC, the assessment usually reveals one or more of the following issues: Rounded Shoulders; Externally Rotated Feet; Knock Knees; Arched Lower Back. If you've got these issues, there are certain exercises that are recommended to correct them, and other exercises that should absolutely be avoided. Learn more about assessment and try assessing yourself with the mini-self assessment at trainercary.com.
CAN YOU GIVE A RATIONALE FOR YOUR OVERALL PROGRAM AND EVERY EXERCISE IN IT?
Once you've answered the above questions and completed your assessment, you should be able to explain why your personalized program and each exercise is right or wrong for you - right down to the number of sets, repetitions and tempo. This knowledge will transform your program and exercise selection into a carefully considered and highly personalized process.
The client is deconditioned and his goal is weight loss, so the program will focus on a) maximizing calories burned through cardiovascular training and working the large muscle groups (legs, back, and chest). It will also include stretches and exercises to minimize the risk that an injury will interrupt the program.
The client is a competitive runner who has been experiencing plantar fasciitis and pain in the iliotibial bands. The program will target the lower extremity postural distortion syndrome and include stretches for the calves and hip muscles (including the IT band and tensor fascia latae) along with strengthening of the gluteus medius, gluteus maximus and anterior tibialis.
2 sets of 15 single leg biceps curl with dumbbells was selected because the goals include core strengthening and building lean muscle, and the client has a shoulder imbalance that makes barbell curls or preacher curls somewhat risky and less effective.
Incline chest press and overhead shoulder exercises are not included in this program due to the client's rounded shoulders and/or history of rotator cuff injury, common upper extremity postural distortions.
2 sets of 15 repetitions with :03 isometric contraction of rear flies and shoulder external rotation will strengthen the muscles that pull the shoulder back along with shoulder internal rotation with a :04 negative to help improve range of motion.
Side-Lying leg lifts (hip abduction) is included in this program because the clients knees tend to move inward, i.e., they excessively adduct; the hip Adductor machine is avoided because the clients adductors are extremely tight and short; the hip abduction machine is avoided because it also works the piriformis (muscles that externally rotate the hip).
As you develop your own personalized training program, think about how you will progress the exercises over the next month, and over the longer term. Our bodies adapt to a program after about 4-6 weeks at which time the program produces diminishing results. Most people think of progression as simply increasing the weight or changing the specific machines or exercises, and overlook the opportunity of varying the training modality.
If you've been focused on stable training such as machines, lying on benches and/or sitting through your workout, try standing to increase core activation and target a greater cross section of muscle fibers. Once you've mastered that, progress to exercises on a single leg, with balance boards and balls. Then come back to a more intensive stable strength training routine. Or try plyometrics to increase power.
I've got some examples of progressions at trainercary.com/exercise-programs.
I know that not everyone shares my passion for exercise, but try to make the workouts as interesting as possible. Develop a few good personalized programs and progressions that you can change at 4-6 weeks intervals or use "undulating periodization," where you vary the workout more frequently. This is the "muscle memory" secret of that popular "one-size-fits-all program" that you see advertised on television. Only better, because the program and progression is personalized for YOU.
So there you have it, the dirty secrets of personalized training. I guess they aren't so dirty after all though.

Auto Uploader allows user to automatically upload a photo to an online service. It runs in background, monitoring the folder that photos are usually saved. The user don't need to press anything to upload, just authorize the app to access your account and let it running. == Versions == Auto Uploader is available as a freemium app, with in-app purchase to unlock features. In the past there was two versions: one paid and one free. Those who paid for the app will have always all the features unlocked. == Download & Install == You can download and install from the [http://t.co/wElK2Br Play Store]. == Configuring == The first thing to do is configure online service that will receive the photo. These are the services available for now: * Box * DeviantArt * Drive (previous Google Drive) * [[Dropbox]] * [[Flickr]] * FTP/FTPS/SFTP * Imgur * Ipernity * Onedrive (previous Skydrive) * [[Picasa]] * SmugMug * SugarSync * Tumblr You can configure one or several. The app will upload the photo to all services that are configured and enabled, so you don't need to worry if a friend erases a photo in the device! ;) It's possible configure more than one account in the same service. I.e.: you can add two Facebook accounts, but it must be from different logins. It's not possible (yet) add the same account more than once. == Starting == To start the monitor press one of the buttons for the service. [[File:StateButtons.png]] Each one of the button has one color, which means: * red: the service is disabled * yellow: the service is enabled (the app is monitoring, getting the geotags, etc.), but it's NOT uploading * green: same as yellow, but uploading When uploading a picture, errors could happen. In some kinds of error (i.e., permission for the app revoked in the online service) Auto Uploader will automatically set the state to yellow, and will warn the user. If are some service enabled (green or yellow) an icon will appear in the notification area (if configured to). == Warnings == When an error occurs the app creates a warning for the user. These warnings are available pressing the alert icon. [[File:WarningMessage.png]] In the window that will appear all the lines corresponding to the selected service will be grayed. == Menu Options == In the menu you can access the setting options, an about dialog, clear all the pending uploads and clear all the alert messages. == Settings Options == The settings for each service are explained in the section of each one. '''Background Service''' * ''Folders to monitor'': the folders that the app will monitor for new pictures. In the free version only one folder can be watched. In the paid version you can add as many folders as you want. These configuration affects all services! To monitor some specific folder in specific service, there's an option in the specific service settings. * ''Auto start'': when checked the background service will start automatically when the device boots up. * ''Service notification'': when checked there will be a notification showing that the service is running. * ''Upload notification'': when checked a notification will be showed when uploading a photo, with a progress bar. * ''Upload delay'': time in seconds to wait to start an upload. This delay are useful if you configure the camera app to put the geotags in the photo, or if you want to do something in the photo before upload. '''Geotags''' * ''GPS'': when checked Auto Uploader will try to take the GPS fix for the photo. Important: the photo will not be touched! The GPS coordinate will be saved in an internal database, not as an EXIF metadata. * ''Timeout'': time in seconds to wait for a GPS fix. After these time the GPS fix will be canceled. This is important to avoid excessive battery usage. * ''Only network'': when checked Auto Uploader will use only the GPS fixed provided by the network, not the satellites. This option is faster and less power consumption, but less accurate. '''Network''' * ''Only in Wifi'': when checked the photo will be uploaded only when a wireless network is available. If you do not have a data plan with your carrier leave this option checked to avoid expensive bills. * ''Delay if network error'': time to wait for a new try when a network error occurs. * ''Retries if network error'': attempts to make until disable the service (put it in yellow state) in case of network error.

50 Facts About Mark Twain
Posted by Unknown on Wednesday, April 21, 2010
Labels: authors
As a teenager I just devoured Mark Twain books. I loved The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, and the Prince and the Pauper. All of which I read dozens of time each. What a notion that our doppledanger may be royalty and more than that, a prince. So for my entertainment and yours, here are '50 Facts' that you may not know about Mark Twain followed by my favorite Twain quotes:
1. Prior to adopting Mark Twain as his pen name, Clemens wrote under the pen name Thomas Jefferson Snodgrass for three humorous pieces he contributed to The Keokuk Post.
2. On the Mississippi River, 'mark twain' meant 'two fathoms deep.'
3. Twain was very interested in parapsychology.
4. Mark Twain was fond of cats. His boyhood home is rumored to have been shared with as many as 19 cats. As an adult, Twain always kept at least two cats around.
5. Haley's Comet was visible in the sky on the night that Mark Twain was both born and passed away.
6. Clemens encouraged his younger brother, Henry, to get a job as a steamboat pilot as well. Henry was killed when the boiler on board his boat exploded. Clemens claimed to have seen his brother's death in a dream before it happened, sparking an interest in parapsychology.
7. Mark Twain was said to have been working on a ghost story right before his death. No one ever found it for he ordered all his manuscripts burned when he died.
8. Twain was a Thomas Edison manque. Three of his inventions were patented: an automatically self-adjusting vest strap, a history game meant for improving memory, and a self-pasting scrapbook--the only one ever to make him any money.
9. Twain was known for his stance against racism and for supporting the abolition of slavery, but he was oddly prejudiced against Native Americans.
10. He was also critical of organized religion, and very much in favor of labor unions. He also belonged to the Freemasons.
11. Hannibal, Mo. served as the inspiration for the fictional town of St. Petersberg in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn."
12. Mark twain has also written about five travelogues which are about the experience of Mark Twain during his visit between Western US and Asia.
13. In 1856, he moved to Cincinnati, where he hatched a plan to travel to South America to collect coca leaves. Instead he decided to work on a steamboat.
14. He was a passenger on the first "luxury cruise" to Europe and the Holy Land, and related the party's misadventures in letters to the New York Tribune and the Herald. He later worked these reports into his first book, The Innocents Abroad, which became an immense success.
15. Twain was a successful lecturer, generating money and fame via speaking tours throughout the United States and Europe.
16. He was a steamboat pilot apprentice on the Mississippi River and eventually earned his pilot's license.
17. Twain was six in a lineup of seven children. Only he and two others (brother Orion and sister Pamela) survived into adulthood.
18. Twain suffered from color blindness.
19. As a child, Twain learned to swim in Hannibal's dangerous Bear Creek. He witnessed the drowning of two friends in this creek.
20. During the Civil War, Twain formed a Confederate militia known as the "Marion Rangers." The militia disbande
d after approximately two weeks.
21. One of Twain's biggest literary influences was The Arabian Nights. His later work would often allude to the tales.
22. Twain also greatly admired the poet Robert Browning he later met in 1873.
23. Twain was actually in New Orleans the day that Louisiana declared its succession from the Union.
24. From 1901 until his death in 1910, Twain was vice president of the American Anti-Imperialist League.
25. Twain was known for his anti-slavery views well before they came into fashion. However, some of his work, like Huckleberry Finn, has been termed racist for its use of derogatory terms.
26. His wife's name was Olivia Langdon and they were married for 34 years.
27. Olivia and Mark had four children: Susy, Langdon, Clara and Jean Clemens.
28. Their son Langdon died of diptheria at the age of 19 months. His daughter Suzy and Jean both died in their 20s. Clemens' surviving daughter, Clara, lived until 1962 and had a daughter of her own who died childless. There are no direct heirs to Clemens surviving today.
29. Twain dined with Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1892 while traveling through Europe.
30. Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is considered to be one of the first science fiction books ever published. Twain had a keen interest in science and technology and was a close friend of Dr. Nikola Tesla.
31. In 1867 Twain developed a serious enjoyment of billiards. He enjoyed the game for the rest of his life.
32. After his short stint in the Civil War, Twain moved to Nevada and worked as a miner.
33. In 1868 Twain met Harriet Beecher Stowe.
34. Twain gave Anne Sullivan the label "miracle worker" for her work with Helen Keller.
35. Bermuda was the last foreign locale Twain visited before he died.
36. Twain's first important work was The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, originally published in the New York Saturday Press on November 18, 1865. The only reason it was published there was because his story arrived too late to be included in a book that Artemus Ward was compiling, featuring sketches of the wild American West.
37. The character of Huckleberry Finn was modeled after Twain's boyhood friend Tom Blankenship. "He was ignorant, unwashed, insufficiently fed; but he had as good a heart as ever any boy had," Twain wrote of Blankenship in his autobiography. "His liberties were totally unrestricted. He was the only really independent person—boy or man—in the community, and by consequence he was tra
nquilly and continuously happy and envied by the rest of us. And as his society was forbidden us by our parents the prohibition trebled and quadrupled its value, and therefore we sought and got more of his society than any other boy's."
38. Twain's father died of pneumonia when Mark was 12. At 13 he began working for his brother Orion as an apprentice printer. It was here that he discovered a love for writing.
39. Twain first donned his famous white suit in 1906, when he appeared before Congress to testify about copyright law. On what may have been a slow news day, the New York Times carried a headline the ne
xt day proclaiming "Mark Twain in White Amuses Congressmen." He wore a white suit from then on, arguing that "light-colored clothing is more pleasing to the eye and enlivens the spirit." He called it his "dontcareadam suit," because he didn't care a damn what he looked like when he wore it.
40. Twain had no problem ridiculing and attacking those he didn't like. One of his most famous literary targets was James Fenimore Cooper, who he wrote about in his essay, "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses".
41. Twain's wife Livy Clemens disliked his habit of swearing, and he tried to keep it from her. One day when he was dressing alone, he realized that his shirt was missing a button and went off on a blue streak. To his horror, he realized that his wife was listening behind the door. In her prim voice, she repeated his words to him as a reprimand.
42. Twain received an honorary doctorate from Oxford University in 1907.
43. Twain often made bad investments, which resulted in serious financial problems.
44. William Faulkner called him "the father of American literature".
45. One of Mark Twains closest friends were Henry Rogers.
46. Twain was a redhead in his youth.
47. The classical huckleberry finn has the honor of being as the fifth often challenged book by american library association.
48. Mark Twain did not graduate elementary school.
49. It was Mark twain who first used the fingerprinting evidence to solve a crime in one of his fictional novels, "Life on the Mississippi".
50. Mark Twain died of a heart attack April 21st 1910, in Redding Connecticut.
"A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read."
"Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often."
"Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
"All generalizations are false, including this one."
"'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read."
"Climate is what we expect,weather is what we get."
"Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I've done it thousands of times."
"Let us live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry."
"My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water."
"Substitute "damn" every time you're inclined to write "very"; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be."
"When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it's a sure sign you're getting old."
"Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been."

Well, Dillon...I suspect this post is helping a number of people do their homework and possibly even cheat. Now, not only have you lowered your character, but you have also hindered any learning you would have gotten from such a project. I'm hoping some of it seeps in anyway.
This is great :)

ARGYLE take on the animal treble this weekend, as we do battle with Camelford, Sunderland and Loughborough across three different competitions.
The action kicks-off tonight in the Carlsberg South-West Peninsula League with a trip to Camelford and a great opportunity for Argyle to maintain their healthy lead at the top of the Premier Division.
The Pilgrims are on a run of five straight victories in Peninsula football, while the Camels, who started the season very brightly, are enduring a tough patch, with just one league win in the last 10 outings. The game at Camelford kicks-off at 7.30pm tonight.
It is then over to the first-team on Saturday at Home Park and a fascinating tussle with the Black Cats of Sunderland in Sky Bet League One.
Argyle Ladies play their first game at a new adopted home on Sunday, when Loughborough Foxes visit Coach Road in Newton Abbot for a 1pm kick-off in the FA Women's Southern Premier Division.
The Argyle ladies development squad also have a game on Sunday, hosting Feniton in the FA Women's South-West League Western Division. Kick-off at Saltmill will be 2pm.

UN climate talks
Pressure grows on Australia to sign Kyoto Protocol II
By Tierney Smith
The Australian government has found itself under increasing pressure to sign up to a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (2CP).
Next week is the last sitting week of Parliament before Doha, and possibly the last chance for cabinet to consider the issue. However it is unclear what they will decide.
During her recent visit to the country, UN climate chief Christiana Figueres challenged the country to stick with the Protocol, arguing it was in its national interest to do so.
In a speech at the Lowy Institute for International Policy in Sydney she said Australia, a country increasingly vulnerable to climate change, needed to join other countries in aggressively mitigating carbon emissions.
Environmental groups within the country are also increasing the pressure on their government. Members of Climate Action Network Australia organised a #Kyoto2 Twitter Storm calling on the country's ministers to agree to a second period.
And while it's unclear what effect that had on Prime Minister Gillard (if any), recent polls show that support for the government to take a lead on climate action is steadily growing. A poll commissioned by WWF in August showed 58% of voters want to see Australia sign up to a second commitment period.
RT if you want Australia to follow through on action on climate change: @juliagillard @swannydpm @bobjcarr It's time to sign #Kyoto2

Lecture @lowyinstitute: Australia not alone, others also acting on #climatechange. #Kyoto2 possible for Austr.bit.ly/VEiiYl
— Christiana Figueres (@CFigueres) October 25, 2012
[email protected]bobjcarr – Without a global solution, #climate change may wipe out decades of hard-won development gains. Australia must sign #Kyoto2
— Ann Matson (@annmatson) October 25, 2012
Australia was a latecomer to Kyoto, ratifying the agreement in 2005. Their current target is a 5% reduction on 2000 levels.
The future of the Kyoto Protocol will be top of the agenda at the forthcoming COP18 climate talks in Doha. The first commitment period comes to an end this year, and developing countries are urging the developed world to renew their pledges as soon as possible to prevent a gap between the two periods.
A renewed Kyoto is seen as crucial to ensure negotiations on a global climate deal in 2015 remain on track. A decision by Australia to join the EU, Norway and Switzerland in adopting new binding emission targets would give those a massive boost.
"A second round of targets under Kyoto is a critical lever to achieve a new legally binding agreement that covers all major emitters," said John Connor, CEO of the Climate Institute. "Kyoto remains a key stepping stone to translate the action China, the USA and other major emitters are taking into international law."

Australia appears to be increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change – floods, droughts, heatwaves and wildfires have all affected the country in recent years.
The difficulty for any incumbent government is that it is also a country heavily dependent on carbon-intensive resources. It is the world's fourth-largest coal producer, and has the highest per capita greenhouse gas emissions of any country in the developed world.
Small steps are being made – this year Julia Gillard's government introduced a series of market mechanisms and incentives aimed at tackling Australia's contribution to global emissions.
The Clean Energy Future Package, introduced in July, includes a national reduction target of 5% on 2000 levels by 2020, and 80% by 2050. It also includes a range of policy instruments to put a price on carbon, promote renewable energy and increase efficiency.
Trade Minister Craig Emerson memorably celebrated the adoption of a tax on carbon with an impromtu rendition of the 1970s classic tune 'Horror Movie' on live TV.
Gillard also announced plans to link up with the EU emissions trading scheme – some have suggested this was to ensure the Green Party continued to support her minority government.
Poisonous politics
Relations between Australia's main parties appear to be at an all-time low, making any chance of a cross-party consensus on this issue unlikely. Gillard recently accused opposition leader Tony Abbott of misogyny in a fiery 15 minute lecture that went viral on the internet.
Abbott says he will repeal the carbon tax if elected, but in an odd twist did claim earlier this year the opposition would not object to a second commitment of the Kyoto Protocol.
As the deadline for decisions get closer, there are also fears countries are leaving their decision till the last minute in the hope of using it as a bargaining chip in Doha.
New Zealand and Ukraine are yet to give an answer on their intentions. Russia's leaders change their mind every couple of weeks.
Limited opportunity
In a speech to Australian policymakers Figueres said the country was currently was a leader in climate change measures, but warned them should not believe they are the only nation acting on the problem.
"Nothing can be further from reality," she said. "Every one of Australia's top trading partners has something already in place.
"Australia is not alone in acting on climate change… in fact Australia is a major player and an emerging leader. The world is looking very closely to see how Australia progresses with its clean energy policy."
She also warned that if climate change was allowed to go unchecked, it would wipe out all of the good work done over the last 25 years in terms of development. "There's no plan B because we don't have a planet B," she said.

Court Victory for Clean Water and State Regulators in California
by South Yuba River Citizens League (SYRCL) August 4, 2022 August 4, 2022
August 4, 2022 – Today, a panel of judges from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit overruled the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), re-establishing California's right to protect water quality in the Yuba, Bear, and Merced River Watersheds for the next 40 years.
One of FERC's primary duties is licensing and inspecting private, municipal, and state hydroelectric projects. As part of this licensing process, Section 401 of the federal Clean Water Act requires license applicants for hydroelectric projects to request that the state and Tribal Nations with certification responsibilities certify that new licenses will protect water quality as required by state law.
The Clean Water Act gives states a year to act on certification. In the three cases, the applicants for certification withdrew their requests before one year expired. FERC had found that the California State Water Resources Control Board's acceptance of the applicants' withdrawals, including perfunctory emails and comments outlining options, showed that the state was complicit in circumventing the one-year rule. Essentially, FERC, relying on a 2019 case called Hoopa Valley Tribe v. FERC, had held that the Board waived its chance to certify.
The court disagreed, reversing FERC's orders, finding there was no substantial evidence that the Board had acted to skirt the one-year rule. Instead, the court found: "a state's mere acceptance of a withdrawal-and-resubmission is not enough to show that the state engaged in a coordinated scheme to avoid its statutory deadline for action. Accordingly, FERC's orders cannot stand."
FERC had also said that the applicants' failure to complete environmental review as required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) didn't matter. Again, the court disagreed with this assertion, stating, "In short, the records in all three orders under review demonstrate that the Project Applicants chose to withdraw and resubmit their certification requests because they had not complied with California's CEQA regulations."
The court was clear on the stakes of the decision, noting: "[I]f a state waives its authority to impose conditions on a hydroelectric project's federal license through Section 401's certification procedure, that project may be noncompliant with prevailing state water quality standards for decades."
South Yuba River Citizens League, California Sportfishing Protection Alliance, Friends of the River, and Sierra Club and its Mother Lode and Tehipite chapters were environmental litigants in the case, along with the California Attorney General's Office on behalf of the Board. Water Power Law Group and the Western Environmental Law Center represented the environmental litigants.
"The South Yuba River Citizens League and our colleagues have been working in FERC relicensing on the Yuba River for 15 years," said Melinda Booth, executive director of the South Yuba River Citizens League. "It is a huge relief that the state's protection will be in force in the decades to come."
"Since the Hoopa Valley Tribe ruling in 2019, some hydropower operators have been looking for ways to skate from the Clean Water Act," said Chris Shutes, FERC projects director for the California Sportfishing Protection Alliance. "Today's ruling restores process discipline and affirms the Act's primary role to protect water quality."
"The court got it right," said Ron Stork, senior policy advocate with Friends of the River. "No applicant for a FERC license should be able to not follow the rules and then turn around and blame the state."
"This decision is local, but it could have national significance," said Rob Burness, Vice Chair, Conservation Committee, Sierra Club Mother Lode Chapter.
"Today's reversal of FERC's string of illogical rulings errantly waiving states' rights to enforce their environmental laws under the Clean Water Act feels like the end of an era of abuse," said Andrew Hawley, senior attorney at the Western Environmental Law Center. "Before today, people unconcerned with protecting clean water were positioned to weaponize a decision called Hoopa Valley v. FERC to severely constrain well-established state and Tribal rights guaranteed by the Clean Water Act. Today, we closed the Hoopa Valley Clean Water Act loophole."
The cases are No. 20-72432, No. 20-72452, and No. 20-72782.

Twelve students complete Gold CREST Awards at Harper
Harper Adams University has hosted its fourth annual CREST awards colloquium.
Twelve pupils from Haberdashers Adams' Grammar, Newport Girls' High, Thomas Telford and Haberdashers Abraham Darby sixth forms attended and delivered spoken presentations summarising the research projects they had worked on for their British Science Association's Gold CREST awards.
The colloquium was chaired by two students who completed their projects in 2017 and have since been successful at gaining places at their universities of choice.
The Gold award, the highest level of the CREST award scheme, requires participants to complete a 70 hour research project and give a 10 minute spoken presentation following their investigation.
Skye Johnson, 17, from Haberdashers' Abraham Darby was one of the students to complete her project during her summer holidays. She worked on a soil project, linked to a ten year investigation running at Harper to look into the effects of farm traffic and tillage on soil nutrients.
She said: "I was a bit nervous working on an established university project at first as obviously I've not done it before. I've always been a shy person but I like to throw myself into situations that I know I can't get out of, so I can learn from them and achieve something.
"It's been a real learning curve; I didn't know originally why everything I was looking at was important for soils. We'd done the nitrogen cycle in school, so I knew nitrogen needs to be converted into nitrates for plants. It was interesting to learn how traffic or tillage is having an effect on the amount of nitrogen in the soil, as it'll have an effect on the crop yield.
"We obviously do experiments at school but they're more basic than what I've been able to do at Harper. It's nice to see what I'm capable of. At school we complete set experiments, while for my CREST project it was 'we could do this' or 'we could do that' and I was able to decide what I wanted to look at.
"I had quite a few methods for the project as I was assessing dry matter, pH, carbon, nitrogen, magnesium and potassium in the soil samples."
Skye is hoping to study zoology at university after completing her A-levels, a subject she's recently discovered after originally looking at biology courses.
Other Gold projects covered a range of interests including microbiology, nutrition, animal behaviour, andrology and biochemistry.

Q: AucTeX insert-environment C-c C-e (no label prompt)? Does anybody know how to configure Emacs or Auctex such that when you insert an environment for example with C-c C-e equation RET? Avoid having to type RET for (Optional) What label? question? Or completely stop being asked for any kind of label?
Thanks.

A: The insertion of environment labels is controlled by the LaTeX-label-alist variable.  If you don't want environment labels, theoretically you would need to make that variable nil:
(setq LaTeX-label-alist nil)

Unfortunately, this setting will be overridden for the environments provided by the amsmath package and the longtable environment.

A much more coarse solution would be to redefine the LaTeX-label function to do nothing.  Add the following to your .emacs
(eval-after-load "latex"
  '(progn
     (defun LaTeX-label (env))))

So you'll never be prompted for labels after inserting an environment with C-c C-e or a section with C-c C-s.  You'll be able to manually add labels with C-c C-m label RET as usual.
