There's no denying that folks at the Jersey Shore are part of Kenny Chesney's "No Shoes Nation."
That's why a Stone Pony in Asbury Park performance of Bruce Springsteen's "One Step Up" by Chesney in 2016 was included on Chesney's "Live in No Shoes Nation."
The 2017 album was just certified platinum.
"Songs have always been postcards or watermarks of moments for me," said Chesney in a statement about the album. "I can't tell you how many memories I have a song for. Knowing how many friendships have been forged at our shows, how many engagements and good times, I figured the people of No Shoes Nation might like to have the moment as well as the song."

The moment at the Pony was broadcast on SiriusXM satellite radio.
"I actually put this song on my 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems' album in 2012 and got an amazing letter from my friend here in Asbury Park," said Chesney from the Pony stage. "It was one of the highlights of my life."

The connection between Chesney and the Jersey Shore goes even deeper. The cover for Chesney's "Cosmic Hallelujah" was taken by Toms River celeb photographer Danny Clinch on the Seaside Heights boardwalk. Sharp-eyed fans can pick up the Midway Steak House in the background and the liner notes features a pic of Chesney with Lucky Leo's Amusements in the background.
Chesney's latest album is "Song for the Saints" and his "Trip Around the Sun Tour," also featuring Thomas Rhett, Old Dominion and Brandon Lat, comes the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford on Saturday, Aug. 18.

Twenty-four hours of travelling and I'm all folded limbs and a parched mouth.
My mother and I meet up at Gatwick airport. We literally stumble into each other's embrace, just outside of the South Terminal's monolithic duty-free. It's a harrowing gauntlet of Lancôme perfumes and jumbo packs of Haribo candy, but somehow we emerge unscathed.
Our flight to Copenhagen is scheduled to leave at 1:40 PM, but we are delayed for two hours. We slowly walk through Zara and Ted Baker, running our hands over the garments we particularly like. My mum has purchased a smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich and would rather sit and munch than window shop.
So I carry on solo.
I must keep moving my stiff legs forward. I am afraid that if I don't, they will turn to stone.
On the flight from Vancouver I dozed and read from Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago. He is my travel go-to and I figure it's always good to immerse myself in these stories. Some might say that's grim, but nuts to them.
These are the tales we must never let die.
I write this from a darkened hotel room just outside of Copenhagen's downtown core. I slept maybe all of four hours last night – my restlessness born out of a combination of excitement, jetlag, epic thunder and lightning storms, and my mother's rhythmic and punctuated breathing.
It's 5:30 AM and the sun has been up since 4 AM. She is a good writing partner, but mostly I am reading news coming out of the UK and looking up places to rent bikes.
The coffee I am drinking is instant.
The energy kick I am supposed to be getting from it, is not.
A little Rainy Day Taxi and the tap tap tapping of my fingers is the gentle counter refrain to my mother's sound sleep sounds.
Simply don't go. Try to sleep more or just simply rest.
Don't immediately begin competing with the woman running on the treadmill next to you.
Or at least don't compete so that that it's obvious, so that she then starts to compete back.
Do change the channel when Nigel Farage comes on and begins speaking about what a victory this is for the UK populace.
Try and remember that there are still good people everywhere, it's just that they don't sell newspapers, or drive viewership ratings.
Shower up and walk around the sunny cobblestone streets of Copenhagen.
Eat a chocolate pastry and drink a latte.
At present, my mother and I are sitting on a bed (soon to be two twin beds) in our cruise ship room. We are looking at photos from the day and drinking a glass of vino verde. It's my absolute favourite wine and we scored a great deal, procuring a GIANT bottle from the corner store just around the block from our hotel. No joke, it had a big sticker advertising '33% MORE!' across the label.
No one ever said that the Gillis women weren't classy as hell.
Today we rented bikes and biked all over Copenhagen. For almost six hours, we visited the Little Mermaid, and Tivoli Gardens, as well as the King's gardens (where we saw a bit of the changing of the guards) and the Parliament and the National Library and everything in between.
Copenhagen is rad as heck. Very, very beautiful and clean, and populated by very, very beautiful (and I would wager a guess) clean people.
The biking is amazing because of the amazing infrastructure. You are never riding on the street and everyone is so cognizant and respectful of bikers. Scooting about all day with no helmet was a total breeze and we just put all of our stuff in our front baskets.
My gut reaction was to be all, "Really goes to show how utterly ineffectual Good Ole Gregor is in Vancity!", but the city is flat, and perfectly designed for the bicycling set, and as cute as I felt on my push bike all day long, I knew that this would not fly for a second in New West.
Give me my twenty-one speed and my urban greenway, or give me death.
Stay tuned for further adventures!
Tomorrow we take Helsingborg, Sweden by (biking) storm.

Today I ran the Boundary Bay Half-Marathon.
Today I won the Boundary Bay Half-Marathon.
So that was a bit of a surprise!
I had originally signed-up for the marathon, but I quickly realized that giving myself two and a half months to train for 42.2 kilometers just wasn't nearly enough time. I knew that if I was to attempt the full race, I would probably end up in a wheelchair for (at the very least) the first week post-event, what with my inability to not give it my all once the gun goes off.
So I emailed the race organizers and asked them if it was okay if I could switch.
And lucky for me, it was!
There's something to be said for knowing your limits.
I had my last training run on Friday morning – just a simple, quick five kilometer pre-work zip about New Westminster's boardwalk.
I have been having some difficulty with my right knee and left hip – gifts left over from a completely overzealous Thanksgiving weekend, where I ran forty kilometers over three days because everything in my brain was screaming at me that I was unstoppable – and this was giving me some trepidation.
Not to mention, that following this insane running weekend, I went to a concert where I danced my heart out in giant four inch heels.
While unbeknownst to me at the time, this one hundred per cent ensured that my legs were very, very overdone.
Luckily, I have a pretty good physiotherapist who, on Friday, stretched me out, and taped up my knee, so – whether psychosomatic or not – I didn't have any problems on that front this morning.
On the hip front however – phew. That was a different story.
Everything was feeling so good, until approximately kilometer fifteen, and then I really started to feel the tightness.
But I am getting ahead of myself. Let's rewind to the beginning, and I will fill you in on all things hip-wise once we get to that point of the story.
Last night I had the best pre-race sleep of my life. I had a pretty full day, driving out to Tsawassen to pick up my race package, buying birthday gifts, and being bowled over with surprise presents from my ridiculous, handsome, brilliant and too-generous husband, so I was knackered by the time nine thirty rolled around.
After setting the coffee, and laying out my race gear, I crawled into bed and was asleep by ten.
I woke to my alarm at six, and did all my superstitious morning-of puttering.
It was all comforting and good.
I even had a chance to burn a CD for Marc and I to listen to as we drove out to Boundary Bay.
My weather app had told me that the morning would be overcast and rainy, but the droplets were not to be found as we pulled into the provincial park's parking lot.
The wind on the other hand – there was A LOT of that to be found.
I would soon learn, that the howling winds of the start line concourse were but a fraction of what we would encounter on the course.
While waiting in line at the port-o-potties, Marc ran into a work colleague, and we chatted a bit about racing and the day.
Then it was time to snap a few silly photos (including one with the Hamburglar and Grimace!) and take part in the group warm up. This is when all of the runners gather about and participate in aerobic exercises lead by exquisitely enthusiastic and warm volunteers.
Before I knew it, I was taking one last photo with Marc's dad and then lining up with all the other racers.
I have a tendency to go out too fast, and I really didn't want to burn myself out in the first ten kilometers.
Boundary Bay is a hauntingly beautiful stretch of beach and marshland. It is also an internationally recognized "Important Bird Area" as it is a critical rest stop for thousands of birds – including the Red Throated Loon and the Sooty Shearwater – using the Pacific Flyway migration route.
I saw three or four hard-core birders out today along the route, not to mention many, many groups of migrating birds and water fowl.
For the first ten kilometers I ran in the shadow of two older men, and one woman – all three of whom were running the full-marathon.
My legs were feeling so strong, that at kilometer nine I slowly started to make my move to overtake them.
I could immediately feel my strides lengthening and quickening.
Although I (mistakenly) thought this momentum would carry-on until the end of the race, it did last for at least the next six kilometers, seeing as though I ran past so many other runners who took a moment to cheer me on.
I even ran by my brilliant friend Katie who shouted, "VANESSA!?" which just left me with the biggest smile on my face.
The only thing tempering my joy was the brutal head winds we had to face all the way back to the finish line.
Being smack dab on the edge of the ocean leaves one incredibly vulnerable to the elements, and there were times that I felt as though I was running against a brick wall – especially as we climbed into the higher kilometers.
By eighteen clicks, I was feeling pretty tired and both of my hips were tight and sore.
Because I do! I really, really love running. And as I repeated this mantra, my muscles would slightly unclench, and my legs would loosen.
Eric eagerly let me know that I was the first woman, and Cheryl was just cheering her heart out.
As much as I wanted to show them how much their presence meant to me, I had no energy left to do anything but propel myself to the finish line.
I'm not going to lie, I was a little disappointed that I didn't break 1:30 but for a tremendously windy and cold course, I'll take it. I mean, the first man finished in 1:18, which really speaks to the ferocity of the elements.
For my efforts, I received a gold medal, a hug from Grimace, and a free pair of Sketchers.
Which is totally worth some tight hips.
I mean, I'll just dance the soreness away.
Happiest of Christmases to you all!
I wish for you all the brilliance and joy this bonkers world can offer.
Holy frick on a stick it's been two week since my last post.
WHERE IS THE WORLD SLIPPING AWAY TOO?
I don't know about you folks, but here in Vancity it is frozen like a frozen thing. We've had big puffs of fluffy white stuff falling from the frigid grey heavens for two days straight now. I don't go anywhere without my massive winter coat and big boots because goodness knows I wouldn't want to end up stranded in a rogue snow drift unprepared!
Speaking of unprepared – can we hit the pause button so I can possibly get my act together and think about what needs to happen in preparation for the big December Two Five?
Everywhere there might be a feeling of Christmas, but there's also a feeling of urgency and stress!
In similar news, Marc and I keep racing about like mad gophers, trying to keep up with all of our work and volunteer-related commitments.
I'm still doing the comedy thing, but definitely taking on less gigs than earlier this year, what with my sanity being held together by an all too fragile thread. I've also been hosting the Storytelling Show, running up a storm (up until the buckets snow started falling to the ground that is), and doing a ton of United Way speaking engagements.
We've also been knee-deep in DIY home repairs (Ms. Java can you hear me? I have foolishly followed in your footsteps!), repainting our walls, and installing new carpet in the upstairs.
I am pretty ready for our house to go back to normal.
Who knew what a difference a new carpet could make? I never!
It's seriously like walking on heaven. My little feets smile up a storm every time I get out of bed and step on that sweet, soft carpet-y goodness.
I promise to actually write a real blog post this week, not just this insane mish-mash of my life's eccentricities plus a collection of photographs of all the delicious treats I eat.
Happiest of days to you my fab chaps!
I hope that everything for you is both merry and bright.

SPR theory is not always easy to practise. Often your experimental conditions are different than the published or your system behaves differently than you expected. There are some general procedures which you can follow to speed up your experiments and get your data more easily. In this section there are some 'HowTo' questions to help with your experiments.
How to make a reference cell?
How to get a stable baseline?
How to check for mass transport?
How to store an immobilized chip?
How to determine a protein concentration?
A reference cell can be used to compensate for matrix effects, refractive index effects and non-specific binding of the analyte. It is important to match the reference cell as close as possible with the other cells. Just activation and deactivation is not the ideal control. Try to use an inactive ligand or a similar protein like a non-related IgG or use BSA to mimic a protein surface.
Non-specific binding can occur between the analyte and the dextran-matrix or the ligand. The source can be the analyte or a contaminant in the sample. Matrix related non-specific binding can be overcome by using a different type of sensor chip. In addition, a different immobilization chemistry may be used.
Drift in the signal comes from many sources. The instrument itself with all the electrical and optical circuits has its own drift. The manufacturer has put a lot of effort in minimizing this kind of drift but you cannot change the instrument characteristics. Other sources of potential baseline drift are temperature fluctuations, flow rate changes, air bubbles, regeneration solutions and sample dispersion.
Thoroughly degassed buffers will help to minimize the effect. When using a method, the UNCLOG command can be used to flush out small air bubbles between cycles. In addition, sufficient equilibration after immobilization is necessary because of the chemicals used. It is recommended to equilibrate the system over night after immobilization. In addition, when running a method, add a 5 minute wait time before the first injection to get a stable baseline at the start of a sensorgram.
Binding of analyte (A) to the ligand (L) on the sensor chip can be described as a two-step event. First, the analyte is transferred out of the bulk solution towards the sensor chip surface. Second, the binding of the analyte to the ligand takes place. The first step is also known as mass transfer and is carried out by convection and diffusion. Both events have their own rate constants (km and ka/kd). The coefficient for mass transfer (km) is the same in both directions. With full or partial mass transfer, the diffusion from the bulk to the surface is slower than the rate of binding of the analyte to the ligand creating a shortage of analyte at the surface.
Mass transfer limitation can be checked by using different flow rates. When the association and dissociation rate constants are independent of the flow rate, no mass transfer limitation is to be expected (read more at the Experiment page).
In order to reuse the sensor chip surface the analyte must be removed, but the ligand must stay intact. This so called regeneration procedure has to be evaluated empirically because the combination of physical forces responsible for the binding are often unknown, and the regeneration conditions must not cause irreversible damage to the ligand.
The most frequent method used, is to inject a low pH-buffer such as 10 mM Glycine pH 2.5. This works probably because most proteins become partly unfolded and positively charged at low pH. The protein binding sites will repel each other and the unfolding will bring the molecules further apart.
Other procedures use high pH, high salt or specific chemicals to break the interaction. It is important to choose the mildest regeneration conditions that completely dissociate the complex.
Therefore, no single regeneration solution can be recommended. For more information go to the regeneration page.
Once in a while you are done with experiments on a particular sensor chip, but the surface is still performing well. So you want to store the sensor chip and reuse it another time.
Which of the two is the best, you must find out yourself.
Most important is that the surface is as clean as possible. Be sure to remove all the bound analyte or captured proteins and lipids before removing the sensor chip from the machine. The buffer used can be the running buffer but adding an anti-bacterial agent is recommended (make sure it is compatible with the ligand).
The accurate protein concentration is important when fitting the curves to extract kinetic parameters. Even with affinity ranking, proper concentration estimations are necessary.

In Nebraska, a report released in February by the teacher-placement division at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln revealed a serious shortage of mathematics and science teachers, according to state science consultant Donald D. Woodburn.
The teacher-placement division received requests from school districts for 464 new junior- and senior-high school math teachers, but the school only graduated 18 new teachers. There were requests for 164 science teachers, but only 10 new teachers were trained.
All of the state's teacher-training programs combined graduated only about 50 math teachers last year, according to Donald F. Niemann, math consultant for the state department of education. About half of those graduates chose to go into fields other than teaching.
To help ease the teacher shortage and to encourage more students to enter mathematics- and science-education programs, the state legislature this spring passed a bill that would set aside $100,000 per year to provide low-interest loans of up to $500 per semester for students who major in math and science education. The loans will also be made available to certified teachers who want to receive an endorsement in math or science education. The loans are not "forgivable" and must be paid back at 5-percent interest.
State education officials met last month with representatives from 12 colleges and universities to encourage them to develop special summer math and science programs for talented 7th graders.
A legislative study group is currently assessing the quality of educational programs throughout the state. The legislature might recommend that local districts upgrade their high-school graduation requirements. The state board of education has set no state mandates for math and science education, but individual districts, on average, require two years, officials said.
Beginning in 1986, the three campuses of the University of Nebraska system will require entering freshman to have completed two years of study in mathematics in high school (starting with algebra) and two years of study in laboratory science, among other changes. The state colleges are now in the process of raising entrance standards.
Gov. Robert Kerrey appointed a task force on excellence in education to examine the quality of the high-school curriculum, reorganization of school districts and funding for high-school programs.
Computer literacy is mandated only in individual districts, state officials said. The state assists in determining district needs and in arranging discounts for bulk purchasing of computer hardware and software.
Next year, the state will establish a telecommunications network that is to include an electronic mail system that will provide a catalogue of educational software available for schools.

Q: UITableViewController inside a UIViewController I'm new to iOS and objective-C and I'm having some trouble in understanding how controllers work.
In my code I have a UIViewController (with my custom controller assigned by storyboard) and inside it, together with other objects, I want to have a table handled by a different controller. What is the right way to do this?

A: You can make that table view controller a child view controller of your UIViewController.
In the storyboard, you can do this easily by dragging a container view into your controller's view, and that will give you a child view controller automatically.
You'll want to:

*

*delete the child view controller it gives you (it's just a UIViewController)

*drag out a table view controller

*control drag from the container view to the table view controller

*choose "embed".

If you need to get a reference to this table view controller from the UIViewController, you can do that in prepareForSegue -- the table view controller will be the segue's destination view controller, and prepareForSegue will be called right after the controllers are instantiated.

A: Add UITableViewController to storyboard, And create subclass (new file) of UITableViewController. In Storyboard go to Identity Inspector and in Class field type name of the subclass you created. After that you have to add your app logic based on your requirements.

A: Create Another UITableViewController in the storyboard, go to its inspector and assign it the same UITableViewController class that you have created before...

A: You'll want to use an embedded container view.

*

*Drag a "Container View" from Interface Builder sidebar into the view. This adds and links a default "contained" UIView/Controller as well.

*Delete the entire UIViewController and View that was automatically added and linked to the container view (as you'll want a Table View Controller instead).

*Drag a UITableViewController onto the Storyboard canvas.

*Control-Drag from the Container View to the Table View Controller. Select "Embed" to contain the UITableView within the container view.
You're left with the parent view, now containing a UITableView via a Container View. The Controller for the Table View is on the storyboard canvas as well.

We'll further improve security, reposition economy before leaving office, Buhari assures
President Muhammadu Buhari on Wednesday in Abuja said the gains recorded in security will be further consolidated, and more attention will be given to the economy, before handing over on May 29, 2023.
Receiving Executive members of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Nigeria at the State House, President Buhari said the security situation had improved over the years, particularly in the North East where the focus had shifted to rebuilding infrastructure and re-orientation on education.
"I am very grateful for your visit to the Presidential Villa, and I agree with you on some of the observations you have made. The question of insecurity is most important to us because unless a country or institution is at peace, it will be difficult to manage.
"I just came back from Adamawa and Yobe States. During the visit to both states, I listened carefully to what the people and officials had to say. And they all said the situation had improved since 2015, especially in Borno State.
"Boko Haram was just fraudulent and a plot to destroy Nigeria. You can't say people should not learn; the people need to grow intellectually,'' he said.
President Buhari told the Catholic Bishops that the government will continue rebuilding infrastructure in parts of the country affected by terrorist attacks, while underscoring that terrorists had no control over any space in Nigeria.
"Some people have acknowledged the difference,'' he added.
On the economy, the President said creditors had full confidence in Nigeria, with the capacity to utilize resources and repay loans before the approvals were granted.
"We are credible, that's why the countries and institutions agreed to support our development with the loans,'' he stated.
President Buhari said the destruction of oil facilities slowed the generation of revenues, and the government would be harder on saboteurs.
"If you look at the economy, we are trying hard to rely more on ourselves. Nigerians rely more on agriculture for livelihood, and we are putting in our best to enable more people, and diversify,'' the President noted.
He said some of the challenges faced in the past, which include coups and counter-coups, and civil war, had prepared the nation for survival.
"We thank God that Nigeria is still one,'' he said. "We should not forget that more than a million died for the nation to survive.''
The President noted that he had been part of Nigeria's history since 1967, fighting in the civil war, serving as governor, minister, Head of State, Chairman of Petroleum Trust Fund, contesting presidential elections in 2003, 2007 and 2011, before winning in 2015.
"We should thank God, and we should reflect on these things and thank God more,'' he added.
In his remarks, the leader of the delegation and President of the CBCN, Most Rev. Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji, commended the President for reforms in the electoral system, making it more stable and fair, particularly the signing of the Electoral Bill into law.
"We commend and congratulate you for the efforts the government has put into ensuring real improvement in our electoral system and processes, especially your signing into law the electoral bill.
"Please do not relent in making sure that INEC and other relevant agencies of government carry out their serious duties to conduct peaceful, free, fair, and credible elections,'' he said.
Ugorji urged the President to use the remaining months in office as Commander-in-Chief to tackle insecurity in the country, and improve the economy.
"The main crux of our message to you today is one of fervent appeal and strong encouragement. Your tenure of two terms as President, Commander-In-Chief of Nigeria, is drawing to an end. But we believe a lot can be done to turn things around for the better in the about four months left of your presidency before you step down in May 2023.
"We have seen some signs that the government is not entirely incapable of tackling the sad state of insecurity in the land, which has consumed thousands of innocent Nigerians across all religions, creed, and ethnic groups,'' the cleric noted.
The Catholic Bishops presented a souvenir to President Buhari, containing a letter of encouragement and prayers for the forthcoming elections.
