News and notes from Monday afternoon's practice in Eagan.
By Eric J. Thompson@eric_j_thompson Jul 29, 2019, 11:33pm CDT
"Slow and steady" might be the best way to describe the first four days of Minnesota Vikings Training Camp this season. There haven't been a ton of flashy plays that get the "oohs" and "aahs" from the crowd, but you can tell that the team is methodically building to what they ultimately want to become by the time they kick off against the Atlanta Falcons in just over a month.
Monday afternoon was a gorgeous day in Eagan, and the crowd was easily the largest it has been thus far. The fans in attendance didn't get to see a ton of fast-paced, up-and-down action. What they did get to witness was some interesting individual battles, a heavy dose of run installations, and a glimpse of how this team might be starting to take shape. Let's dive into the notebook to comb through the highlights of the session.
More players, more rotation
There was good news on the injury front Monday: Brandon Zylstra was activated from the PUP list and participated in practice for the first time this preseason. He looked pretty sharp running his routes in individual drills, but didn't do much in 11 on 11. On the defensive side of the ball, Jalyn Holmes returned after sitting out Sunday. Holmes ran mostly with the second team on Monday, which meant Jaleel Johnson and Hercules Mata'afa got the lion's share of the snaps on the interior with the first team. (Linval Joseph was once again in pads but was a sparse participant.) The Vikings were back up to 85 players in pads on Monday. Only Jeff Badet, Mike Hughes, Shamar Stephen, David Morgan, and Tashawn Bower sat out completely. Holmes looked like he was no worse for the wear on Monday. He had a couple really nice 1-on-1 reps and a quick pressure of Sean Mannion in one of the team sessions.
After three days of largely the same players on the same units, Monday saw a lot of rotation between teams on both sides of the ball. Wide receivers, corners, and defensive linemen seemed to have the largest amount of rotation, but just about every position mixed it up at least a little. It's apparent that the team is still exploring a lot of avenues when it comes to depth.
The "other" kicking game
Dan Bailey didn't attempt any live kicks on Monday, so we don't have any new data for you there. However, the same group of players did get some reps holding before practice: Chad Beebe, Adam Thielen, and all three backup quarterbacks. The main two points of emphasis with special teams today were kick returns and punt blocks. As with the punt returners in previous days, a sizable group took reps at kick returner: Ameer Abdullah, Mike Boone, Holton Hill, De'Angelo Henderson, C.J. Ham, Olabisi Johnson, and Alexander Hollins all got a shot at simulated returns. It wasn't exactly a clean session—Boone, Hollins, and Ham all had instances where they bobbled their initial catch.
As for the punt blocking, it seems to one of Marwan Maalouf's special interests. You may recall the 2014 game where the Miami Dolphins beat the Vikings with what was basically a walk-off blocked punt. One of the Special Teams assistants for Miami? None other than Maalouf. [Note: The original version incorrectly had him as the Special Teams Coordinator.] That 2014 Dolphins team blocked five kicks; look for the Vikings to bring lots of pressure on kicks this season.
Standouts and setbacks
In my Day 3 recap, I noted how Jaleel Johnson didn't have that great of a day. He got shut down by Garrett Bradbury in individual drills and didn't have much of an impact in 11 on 11. On Monday, Johnson bounced back in a big way. He got the best of Bradbury in both of their 1-on-1 reps and had numerous stops in the run game. Josh Mensch got a good clip of a slick spin move from Johnson:
Jaleel had a very nice day today
Here are a couple reps he had during 1 on 1s vs Bradbury pic.twitter.com/T6C8QSmiTh
— Josh Mensch (@JoshMenschNFL) July 29, 2019
Everson Griffen and Danielle Hunter both dominated their 1-on-1 drills—shocker—while Tito Odenigbo once again struggled to make much of an impact in his. Danny Isidora (second team), Brett Jones (second), and Josh Kline (first) all looked solid on the interior for most of the day.
The offensive line had a good start to the day in team sessions, but the second and third units of the defense dominated the rest of the day. Reshard Cliett looks like he has added some muscle from last season, and it hasn't slowed down his quickness in getting to the ball. He had an excellent day getting to the ball in the run game. On the back end, Duke Thomas and Derron Smith both had a couple outstanding pass defenses. (The AAF lives on!)
Wide receiver depth or dearth?
As I stated yesterday, the wide receiver depth chart after Thielen and Stefon Diggs remains pretty muddled. I keep waiting for someone to step up and take the reigns of those coveted WR3 and WR4 spots, but nobody is jumping out yet. Chad Beebe and Jordan Taylor had a play where they ran into each other in intermediate routes. Dillon Mitchell and Davion Davis both had nice grabs in Monday's practice, but neither has made a strong case for themselves overall. Laquon Treadwell got a handful of run with the 1's for the first time and did fine, but most of his action was catching simple passes underneath. The Vikings have been running a ton of multiple tight end sets throughout Training Camp. So far, it's looking like the best personnel group by necessity with the lack of panache from the other wide receivers.
Speaking of multiple tight ends: the Vikings offense ran only one red zone play on Monday, but they made the most of it. Thielen, Irv Smith Jr., and Kyle Rudolph lined up bunch right while Diggs split out wide left. Kirk Cousins looked to his receivers on the right and then went back to Dalvin Cook on a screen to the left for a score.
8⃣ ➡ 3⃣3⃣ pic.twitter.com/qTq9LA1PBe
(Xavier Rhodes probably stops Cook short in a live game, but we'll still count it for Training Camp purposes. It was a nice play design either way.)
For the third straight day, Mike Zimmer had his charges run some wind sprints at the conclusion of practice. It appears that a new ritual is in place. Gotta work out that lactic acid, right?
We stuck around for a bit after practice Monday to watch about 20 players get in extra work. The group consisted of all four quarterbacks, most of the skill position players, and a bunch of the secondary. At the end, Jake Browning and Sean Mannion had a contest where they tried to hit the crossbar with passes. Both QBs nailed it from about 55 yards out on their third or fourth try. It was a fun reminder of how all 90 guys on the roster are basically the greatest athlete you ever played against in high school.
The players have a day off on Tuesday, but we'll be back in Eagan on Wednesday afternoon for another round of news and notes from camp. To follow along for live updates, you can find me on Twitter at @eric_j_thompson.

The Market Is Finally Embracing Long-Unloved Drug Stocks
Teresa Rivas
Nov. 7, 2018 6:30 am ET

Some specialty pharma companies have come out with third-quarter earnings recently.
Included in their number are Bausch Health (ticker: BHC), Mallinckrodt (MNK), and Mylan (MYL) on Tuesday, showing that some long unloved names in the industry have turned a corner in 2018.
Where we were: While health care has been one of the best-performing sectors year to date, pharma stocks haven't enjoyed much of the rally. Yet specialty-drug makers that were long out of favor have made a comeback in 2018, and rallied further on earnings.
Where we're headed: It wasn't long ago that Bausch and Mallinckrodt were left for dead—could Mylan be the next to rebound?
We're in the thick of earnings season, with Bausch, Mallinckrodt, and Mylan rising on the back of third-quarter earnings reports.
Mylan earned $1.25 a share on revenue of $2.86 billion, while analysts were looking for earnings per share of $1.19 on revenue of $2.91 billion. The company also said it was "committed" to meeting 2018 full-year guidance.
Raymond James' Elliot Wilbur reiterated an Outperform rating and $41 price target on the stock, writing that while sales-growth metrics will probably remain "challenging," the results "didn't reveal further signs of the generic apocalypse, as Mylan was able to offset top-line pressures with a surprisingly strong margin performance in its core North American generics business as well as abroad."
Mallinckrodt earned $2.10 a share on revenue of $640 million, while analysts were looking for EPS of $1.79 on revenue of $634.4 million. For the full year, it sees EPS of $7 to $7.20, up from a previous range of $6.50 to $6.90, and above the $6.75 consensus estimate.
Leerink's Ami Fadia reiterated a Market Perform rating on the shares but writes that the "continued performance in [multiple sclerosis drug] Acthar and execution across the rest of the business [should] drive a positive move in the stock."
Bausch reported earnings of $1.15 a share on revenue of $2.14 billion, while analysts were looking for EPS of 86 cents on revenue of $2.09 billion. Bausch also reaffirmed full-year guidance, saying it expects revenue of $8.15 billion to $8.35 billion, compared with the $8.32 billion consensus estimate. The company also raised guidance for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization to $3.30 billion to $3.45 billion from $3.20 billion to $3.35 billion.
Piper Jaffray's David Amsellem writes that "the continued solid trajectory of [irritable bowel syndrome drug] Xifaxan, at least modest growth from the eye-care segment, and relative stability for the dermatology segment" lead him to be "confident in long-term Ebitda stability" for 2019 and beyond, even with losses of exclusivity for other products. That's not enough for him to abandon his Neutral rating or his concerns about valuation, but he raised his price target to $22 from $19, and that's still high praise from an analyst who has a long history of skepticism about the stock.
Amsellem's thawing toward Bausch, however grudging, is indicative of a broader market shift in sentiment on the group. For 2018 so far, Bausch is up 28.5% and Mallinckrodt is up 31.4%, but the stocks had languished for years, hurt by concerns ranging from debt to lackluster growth and mergers-and-aquisitions questions. Yet Bausch closed up 4.5% on its results, and Mallinckrodt jumped 9.1%.
Mylan gained 16.1%, but it's still off nearly 14% since the start of the year. Nevertheless, the move is a welcome change from its second-quarter earnings selloff, and other analysts have also been warming to the stock in 2018, in some cases for the first time in years. Perhaps it will be the next to turn?
Speaking of turnarounds: Teva Pharmaceutical's (TEVA) is going well, says its CEO.
Morgan Stanley upgraded both Bausch and Teva.
(Editor's note: This article has been updated to include information about Bausch raising its Ebitda view.)

Making Health Equity a Priority in Michigan Communities
Nov 18, 2022 Curated Article | Johnson Center
Melanie Wong, a specialist at Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities, shares how her organization uses a Johnson Center report to inform their work on health equity in Michigan communities.
How can data help fuel opportunities for donors to tackle health equity?
Read about the importance of investing in rural communities to advance health outcomes.
The environmental, economic, and social factors that influence our health are commonly referred to as social determinants of health. These factors are beyond our personal control and are experienced uniquely and often unequally, shaping health care encounters, and contributing to health inequities. Achieving and maintaining good health is the consequence of these life factors and influences.
In 2022, the Johnson Center's Community Data and Research Lab and Just Solutions released the Health Equity in Grand Rapids' "Neighborhoods of Focus" Social Determinants of Health Report with support from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. This report investigated the social determinants of health disparities in 17 census tracts in Grand Rapids, Michigan, deemed "Neighborhoods of Focus" (NOF) following research that located the areas with higher rates of poverty, unemployment, and housing cost burden and lower rates of educational attainment than elsewhere in the city. The results provided a baseline of health factors and conditions for children and families in the NOF prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To learn more about how the report's data are being used for community conversations and action aimed at moving away from disparity and toward equitable opportunity and health, we spoke with Melanie Wong, M.A., RDN, Farm to Early Care and Education Specialist at Groundwork Center for Resilient Communities.
How does Groundwork promote health and racial equity?
Melanie Wong: In Grand Rapids, Groundwork's role in promoting health and racial equity is focused on education and expansion of 10 Cents a Meal, a state-funded program that matches what schools, early care and education centers, and other organizations participating in the U.S. Department of Agriculture Child Nutrition programs spend on Michigan-grown fruits, vegetables, and legumes with grants matching up to 10 cents per meal. For 2022-2023, the statewide program has a budget of $9.3 million to support purchases of Michigan-grown produce that help improve daily nutrition and eating habits for children in school and childcare settings and build Michigan's local food economy.
The program supports health equity by helping food service directors purchase and serve more fresh, minimally processed Michigan-grown produce instead of canned. 10 Cents a Meal also has educational and marketing components that aim to promote Michigan-grown produce and food, nutrition, and agricultural education opportunities. Grantees have a wide variety of plans that range from hanging promotional posters that feature local fruits and vegetables to hosting taste tests highlighting different fruits, vegetables, or legumes. Whatever the educational activities offered, the goal is to help expand children's view of food and where it comes from, while supporting the formation of healthy eating habits.
The Social Determinants of Health report highlighted that access to grocery stores in some parts of the NOF is limited. Providing meals with fruits and vegetables for children in school or childcare can be a source of crucial nutrients to support their health, development, and learning readiness. The financial incentive provided to 10 Cents a Meal grantees can also help offset food costs for food service directors interested in trying different varieties of produce to expose children to new flavors, textures, and tastes as a learning opportunity.

Wow! Wow is all I can say. I've looked through these pictures more times than I can count and I can't stop smiling. I keep saying, "I don't remember laughing that much!" but, I know how incredibly happy we were, so I'm glad these pictures portray that perfectly. Steph and Dave, you're both amazing! From the vows, to the pictures, to the love of our sweet Trevor, our day could not have been more special and more "us". We are so happy that we chose My Tiny Wedding and Steph and Dave Photography and will recommend you to anyone who will listen! Chad and I wish you the best in everything you do! Thank you!!!
"The two words, Thank You, are insufficient for Friday…We are incredibly grateful for you two and how beautiful Friday was. We could not have asked for a better set up for our wedding day. Thank you for all of the patience, re-structuring of the day's timeline, all of the effort put in to the cake 😉 (it was absolutely delicious!), for the beautiful flowers, and for the ceremony and vows. We cannot imagine anything better, honestly. Thank you for what you do- as a couple and as wedding coordinators/photographers. If I had not met you two at the bridal show earlier this year, I would be unhappily planning an October wedding full of unimportant details, juggling a huge guest list, renovating a barn for the day's events, and stressing every minute of the journey. I wonder if I would have even (truly) enjoyed that wedding day. We have always been a simple couple and enjoy life's little moments. Thank you for allowing couples (especially couples who love the Gorge) to enjoy the simplicity of nature and love. We are truly grateful for you both and will never be able to express our full gratitude. This entire process and Friday were perfect.
Hi Stephanie,Wow! That was so fast! The pictures are absolutely gorgeous, thank you! I am having a hard time getting anything done today because all I want to do is look at them again (and again!).
I wanted to take the chance to say thank you again for the amazing wedding you and Dave helped us have. It was exactly what we both wanted and had been picturing. You two were wonderful, and it was great knowing we could leave everything in your hands and just enjoy the moment. It was so stress free and lovely and romantic; we couldn't have asked for more. And the cake was delicious too!
Thank you! You were very quick and we've already downloaded our 50! I must say you and Dave were both great to work with – keeping it very calm and relaxed like we wanted. And I loved (loved loved loved) the flowers.
You are amazing! Thanks for the quick turnaround on our photos, we love them! Dave did a beautiful job with our ceremony and yesterday was exactly as we had hoped it would be. Thank you for helping us to have our version of a dream wedding.
Ok, so I started scrolling and I only made it through the first 10 and had to stop to send you this email. I LOVE THEM!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. YOU ARE SOOO WORTH IT! Now to go back and finish checking them out!
Those photos are absolutely breathtaking! You really captured our natural love beautifully. Chad and I couldn't have asked for a more perfect day, and the job you and Dave did was perfect. You made Chad and I feel relaxed and so special. You captured our love to a T.
Thank you for these beautiful pictures, and of course thanks to Dave for making our ceremony unforgettable.
This isn't the last time you'll be hearing from us… we'd love to use your photography services for future occasions.
P.S- That cake was amazing, everyone was raving about it, even the next day. Chad and I of course smashed it in each others faces (just a little bit of it) but there wasn't a crumb leftover by nights end.
Thank you also for the piece of your wedding dress. We have the bouquet and boutineer drying out and will cherish them forever.
You guys do such a wonderful job. I just want to say again how much we both appreciate the time and effort you two put in to this. The ceremony, flowers, cake, pictures, I never even once worried about any of those things. Oct. 9th was a perfect representation of Ryan and I, simply romantic.
I will forever be grateful. We enjoyed our time spent with you guys and I hope you two find some time to rest in the near future as I am sure your fall wedding days are very busy!
Thank you so much to both of you for all you did to make our day perfect! It was great to get to know both of you and we were just so happy with everything you did from the pictures to the cake to the bouquet to officiating. Perfect!
Thank you so much! We had to buy extras because there were so many great ones. I can't tell you how much we appreciate your work to make the happiest day of our lives seamless and memorable. From being patient with me as I tried to select a date, to answering multiple questions, to tending to Layla in the parking lot, you and Dave were more than accommodating and we are forever grateful. The two of you have imprinted on our lives and our marriage forever, and we know that we chose wisely in putting this day in your hands. we are forever grateful and of course will highly recommend you any time we have the opportunity. We just can't say thank you enough!
We can never ever thank you enough for making our wedding day perfect!! These pictures are absolutely gorgeous! We have told everyone about My Tiny Wedding, because we could not have asked for anyone more helpful! Everything turned out perfectly and we love our pictures. You are so great! I hope you had a wonderful holiday, and I wish nothing but happiness for your new year!
I cannot say thank you enough. Truly.


There is so much good to be said about this couple! From the moment that Christina & Dave contacted us about capturing their wedding and engagement photos, we knew that we were going to love them! These two are kind to the core, and we can't say how honored we are that we get to save these moments for them.
Christina & Dave chose Baltimore for their engagement photo session, because it's where they met and fell in love! (EEE isn't that so romantic!?!) This city means so much to them, and it was so great to see where they had their first date, where they lived, and most of all just walk around the city that means so much to them. We also now know all of the good places to eat, which is an added bonus. We're definitely heading back sometime for date night to try out ALL of the places they recommended!
We started off this session at Federal Hill Park, which overlooks inner harbor. We have so many favorites from this part of the session. Christina & Dave have such a natural poise and chemistry that made it so fun for me to capture them and their unique love. We ended the session at Fells Point. We love that cobble stone streets and beautiful views of the water! It was perfect. We captured this session on a busy Saturday evening, and although the streets were full of people, Christina & Dave made it look and feel like we were the only one's strolling Baltimore's charming streets!
Christina & Dave, thank you x1000 for allowing us the opportunity in share in your joy. You two are made for each other, and we could tell that from just a few moments with the two of you. We look forward to your wedding day, and can't wait for you to see this preview of your engagement photo session. Thank you for unlocking this city for us, and for treating us to some of the best ice cream we've ever had. You two are the BEST!

Linfield students, alumna earn Fulbright awards
Posted on April 12, 2019 by ldavis
Three applicants from Linfield College – two seniors and a recent graduate – have been offered Fulbright grants to teach and research abroad. Carmen Hoffbeck '19 of Portland; Aspen Brooks '19 of Bothell, Washington; and Lizette Becerra '18 of Seattle, Washington, have been selected for awards.
Carmen Hoffbeck '19
Hoffbeck, a biology and math double major, will conduct research on the takahē, one of many endangered birds in New Zealand. Its small remaining population is being maintained primarily through conservation and relocation programs. Animals in these programs have been documented to have lower fertility, worse overall health and shorter life spans. She will study the gut microbes of captive birds in these programs and those in the wild to find discrepancies with the hopes of improving captivity programs.
Hoffbeck has long had an interest in the environment and conservation. While in New Zealand, she plans to volunteer with the Auckland Department of Conservation to help educate youth.
"I hope to pass on my respect for nature to children and young people in Auckland who may have few opportunities to participate in environmental activism and service," she said.
Following her experience, Hoffbeck plans to pursue a higher degree in microbiology and ecology and ultimately continue conservation through a microbiology lens.
Aspen Brooks '19
Brooks, who majors in international relations and Spanish, will teach English in the Canary Islands, off the coast of Spain. While there, she also hopes to work with refugee welcoming and resettlement organizations such as ACOBE, a nonprofit based in Madrid. As the daughter of an immigrant, she said the cause is important to her.
"There is a significant need in Spain for extra hands to assist the recent influx of refugees," Brooks said. "I'd like to work alongside local activists and with refugees from different cultures, increasing my cultural awareness."
Brooks is no stranger to Spain. As a Linfield Spanish major, she has studied abroad twice, spending semesters in Sevilla and Alicante. Following her Fulbright experience, she plans to obtain a master's degree and pursue a career in global politics, promoting multilingual education. Her work with students now will be crucial to her goal.
"It is essential for those in education policy to have classroom experience first to provide perspective of how policy directly impacts students," she added.
Lizette Becerra '18
Becerra, who earned a degree in Latin American studies with a minor in biology, will teach English in Mexico. She hopes to deepen her understanding of the country and discover its diversity of communities and culture.
"I aim to continue my passion in student empowerment," said Becerra, who studied at the Universidad San Francisco De Quito as a Linfield student. "I am flexible in teaching styles, with the goal of using activities I utilized while leading Spanish conversation groups at Linfield to practice the language orally and accommodate my students' needs."
While in Mexico, Becerra plans to volunteer with non-profit organizations such as Casa Materna and Compañeros En Salud that promote and offer public health to rural marginalized groups. She also plans to organize a bilingual book club for students in which classic books will be read and a contrast can be made across both languages.
Following the Fulbright experience, Becerra plans to obtain a master's degree to become a physician's assistant. She also hopes to intern with Compañeros En Salud to have one-on-one experience with patients in rural communities.
Linfield College is among the top American colleges and universities that produced the most Fulbright U.S. students in 2017-2018, according to the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
Since its inception in 1946, the Fulbright Program has provided more than 380,000 participants — chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential — with the opportunity to exchange ideas and contribute to finding solutions to shared international concerns. More than 1,900 U.S. students, artists and early career professionals in more than 100 different fields of study are offered Fulbright Program grants to study, teach English and conduct research annually in 140 countries throughout the world.

Election 2020: Déjà Vu All Over Again?
Heading into Election Day, FiveThirtyEight gave former Vice President Biden an 89% chance of winning the Electoral College. While Biden still may win the presidency, the outcome will be much closer than pollsters predicted.
While voting in the seemingly endless 2020 election is finally over, it was clear by President Donald Trump's early morning East Room speech that there is still a whole lot of electioneering going on.
As expected, the ballots are still are being counted – in fact, 20 states can continue to receive ballots after Election Day as long as envelopes were postmarked on Election Day or before – and the jockeying between the parties and candidates certainly continues. And lawsuits? Even before President Trump's threat to take the presidential race to the Supreme Court, there were a few.
As of the weekend before Election Day, there were already 432 election-related suits circulating their way through various courts around the country. At last count this morning, there are now 437, with more expected in the hours and days ahead. And while protests certainly are happening – and, quite frankly, cities are bracing for more – so far they have been subdued. USA Today referred to "dozens" of protesters out in Los Angeles.
All of this is happening, of course, because the results still are not solidified. But as of 7 a.m. ET on November 4, here is what we do know thanks to the Associated Press:
Both former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump have viable paths to winning the Electoral College based on outstanding votes that have yet to be tallied.
In the presidential race, 43 states, along with the District of Columbia, have a winner. Seven, including Alaska, which almost certainly will go for President Trump, do not.
Of the 538 Electoral College votes up for grabs, 451 have been allotted: 238 to the Democratic nominee Joe Biden and 213 to Republican nominee and incumbent President Donald Trump. Remember: a candidate needs 270 Electoral College votes to win the presidency.
The states that have not yet been called, and their respective Electoral College vote count, are:
Alaska (3 Electoral College votes)
Georgia (16 Electoral College votes)
Michigan (16 Electoral College votes)
Nevada (6 Electoral College votes)
North Carolina (15 Electoral College votes)
Pennsylvania (20 Electoral College votes)
Wisconsin (10 Electoral College votes)
There also is one Electoral College vote that has not yet been called in Maine. That state, and Nebraska, do not have winner take all systems. Joe Biden already has secured one Electoral College vote in that state.
As noted above, President Trump will win Alaska. It simply has not been called because of the time difference. The president also is leading, according to The Associated Press, in Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania. While, as stated above, both candidates have a path to victory, Biden's remains more likely. In Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, the bulk of outstanding votes that have yet to be counted are early or absentee ballots from more densely populated urban and suburban areas. These neighborhoods – and early votes more generally – tend to swing considerably more Democratic.
Wisconsin, Georgia, and Nevada state officials have indicated that they believe a full initial tally of their respective states' votes will be available as soon as this evening. Pennsylvania officials, on the other hand, have warned for months that it will likely take them days to process the overwhelming number of early and absentee ballots submitted this election cycle.
In short: it's unlikely (but possible) that we'll know who won the presidential race today.
Of course, Election 2020 had an important undercard: control of the U.S. Senate was in play as well. Thus far, Democrats have picked up seats in Arizona and Colorado while Republicans have taken Alabama Sen. Doug Jones' seat away from Democrats. Accordingly, the Democratic Party has thus far net one additional Senate seat in a cycle in which they anticipated a net gain of as many as a half dozen.
That's simply not going to happen. Republicans have kept several of their most vulnerable seats, including seats in Montana and in Iowa and South Carolina, where the Democratic challenger spent more than $100 million. Polling in all three of these Senate races as recently as this past weekend suggested the Democratic candidates were ahead of their GOP opponents.
Republicans also are leading in the battleground states of North Carolina where Sen. Thom Tillis is the incumbent and in Maine where it had looked like Sen. Susan Collins (R) was in real trouble. The GOP also is threatening to take away incumbent Democratic Sen. Gary Peters' seat in Michigan.
Net/net? At this point, it looks like Senate Majority Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is likely to keep that position in 2021, though there are still a few races that have not yet been called. As a result, the legislative filibuster seems safe.
In the U.S. House, Democrats will retain control of the majority, as was predicted, but it so far has been a much worse outcome than the party had hoped. While more than 60 races have not yet been called, we know that Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-Calif.), who had expected her party to gain as many as 15 seats in the House, could very well end the 2020 cycle seeing the margin of her majority decrease.
As Bloomberg reported, the biggest surprises so far include:
Florida-26 where Democratic Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell was defeated by Republican Carlos Gimenez, the mayor of Miami-Dade County.
Florida-27 where Democratic Rep. Donna Shalala, former Health and Human Services secretary, lost to Republican Maria Elvira Salazar, a broadcast journalist.
South Carolina-01, where Democratic Rep. Joe Cunningham lost to Republican challenger Nancy Mace.
New Mexico-02, where Rep. Xochitl Torres Small lost to Republican Yvette Herrell.
According to the Cook Political Report's final election analysis, the first three of those four seats were expected to be held by Democrats, and somewhat easily. Only the New Mexico race was a toss-up.
Perhaps the least surprising aspect of this election is that Americans came out to vote in droves. While every four years, it is a cliché to say that year's election is one the most consequential in history, with a pandemic raging (the United States clocked more than 90,000 coronavirus cases on Election Day), and the possibility of a long recession, and an even longer recovery on the horizon, voters were motivated to make their opinion known.
By last Friday, October 30, in Texas more voters had turned out before Election Day than had voted in-person and by mail in all of 2016. It is estimated that 9.7 million more Lone Star state residents voted before Election Day in Texas, 8.3 percent more than voted in the entire election four years ago. The energy did not help Democrats turn the state blue, however. President Trump carried the state, Sen. John Cornyn won reelection, and the party kept its hold on the statehouse and senate, which will be important for post-2020 Census redistricting.
Hawaii, Montana, and Washington also had surpassed its 2016 vote count before Election Day. Eight other states – Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Georgia, Florida and North Carolina – surpassed 90 percent of their total 2016 turnout before Tuesday.
In all, it is estimated that 67 percent of Americans voted on Tuesday and the days leading up to it. While we won't know how the official turnout numbers stack up against registered (eligible) voter numbers for several months, if that number holds, it would be the highest level of turnout in 120 years. That figure also is substantially higher than the nation's most recent election. In 2016, 55.5 percent of eligible Americans voted; in 2012, only 54.9 percent did; and in 2008, turnout was 57.1 percent.
If you're like us and have been up all night scrolling Twitter, watching the returns come in on cable news, and refreshing polling sites, it helps to remember that the nation has been here before, and recently. As the U.S. Chamber of Commerce reminded readers before the election:
It took 35 days to determine the winner of the 2000 election between George W. Bush and former Vice President Al Gore.
In 2016, it took 36 days to certify Donald Trump's win in the swing state of Wisconsin and 30 days to conduct a partial recount in Nevada.
In 2018, Floridians didn't know the results of the U.S. Senate race there until 12 days after the election.
And, of course, that is just in the last generation. In the 1960 presidential election, John F. Kennedy won by only 100,000 votes. As National Public Radio recalled, "Disputes arose over his wins in Illinois, where a big Democratic vote from Chicago carried the day, and Texas, home to his running mate Lyndon B. Johnson, as well as in other states. Those disputes, if they had gone Republicans' way, would have been "more than enough to cost the Democrats their win in the Electoral College," NPR recalled.
There are still a lot of unknowns when it comes to Election 2020, but every indication suggests we'll have more clarity in the days ahead as the outstanding states report their voting totals.

App Marketing Strategy - iPhone App and Android App Marketing Ideas
Home / Clients / Client Review: Noggin
Client Review: Noggin
I'm the senior marketing manager of a children's television network that has over 40 apps in the App Store.
What challenge were you trying to address with App Promo?
Our digital marketing group was new and needed help with user acquisition, so we reached out to App Promo. We wanted them to help us understand our audience and how we could make our brand stand out against the competition.
They started with doing an analysis of different digital apps for children in the App Store to see how their landing pages and designs spoke for their brands. We didn't have a specific presence at that time, so doing that complete analysis was necessary. The second phase consisted of them providing instructions on how to reach parents and children through both design and content. There was a 30-page deck that elaborated on the different aspects of what each competitor was doing correctly and what they were doing wrong. We used this to determine how we could expand our brand and go above our competitors.
Gary (CEO & Founder, App Promo) also requested creative assets from us to be able to do marketing tests and A/B tests, which were new for us. It was the beginning of we started to grow our audience and evolve the team dynamic to what it is now.
Gary and I touched base every morning to discuss progress and see what he needed from my team. He also had a researcher working for him who did the initial deep dive.
How did you come to work with App Promo?
I came in towards the end of the first engagement, so I'm unsure how it started.
We worked together from August 2016 until May 2017.
We created a full experience on the game landing page as a result of our engagement with App Promo. The phase 2 growth and media channel test started in January 2017 and was completed in May, increasing our new subscribers from 48,000 to 50,000.
How did App Promo perform from a project management standpoint?
Working with Gary was a pleasure. He was very vocal regarding games and how we could acquire new users, as well as what those users would look like. He gave feedback on a third-party report since he had over 20 years of experience in the marketplace. Most companies don't have the patience to talk you through things and explain what's going on in the marketing. They can't estimate what's going on or what will happen in the future because they haven't been in the business for a long time, which is necessary to help a business flourish within the digital space. We leveraged Gary's expertise for campaigns that we still use to this day. The researcher he assigned was also very thorough and informative about what she found and her progress.
It was a new experience for our team and App Promo was very hands-on and detailed in their approach. They were really proactive to show what they were accomplishing throughout every step.
I'm still in contact with Gary and he doesn't charge me for advice. I value his opinion, oversight, and experience because he's been in the industry for so long. He's always there for me.
I have no suggestions for improvement. They were a great asset and it was a really positive engagement.
Listen to what they're actually saying and the advice they give you. You don't have to use all of it, but it's important to listen because their direction will help you in the long run. You're paying for it, so you should take advantage of that.

Research-integrity sleuths warn Chinese scientists buy papers to boost careers
When Laura Fisher noticed striking similarities between research papers submitted to RSC Advances, she grew suspicious. None of the papers had authors or institutions in common, but their charts and titles looked alarmingly similar, says Fisher, the executive editor at the journal. "I was determined to try to get to the bottom of what was going on."
A year later, in January 2021, Fisher retracted 68 papers from the journal and editors at two other Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) titles retracted one each over similar suspicions; 15 are still under investigation.
Fisher had found what seemed to be the products of paper mills: companies that churn out fake scientific manuscripts to order. All the papers came from authors at Chinese hospitals. The journals' publisher, the RSC in London, announced in a statement that it had been the victim of what it believed to be "the systemic production of falsified research."
What was surprising about this was not the paper-mill activity itself: research-integrity sleuths have repeatedly warned that some scientists buy papers from third-party firms to help their careers. Rather, it was extraordinary that a publisher had publicly announced something that journals generally keep quiet about. "We believe that it is a paper mill, so we want to be open and transparent," Fisher says.
The RSC wasn't alone, its statement added: "We are one of a number of publishers to have been affected by such activity." Since last January, journals have retracted at least 370 papers that have been publicly linked to paper mills, an analysis by Nature has found, and many more retractions are expected to follow.
Much of this literature cleaning has come about because, last year, outside sleuths publicly flagged papers that they think came from paper mills owing to their suspiciously similar features. Collectively, the lists of flagged papers total more than 1,000 studies, the analysis shows.
Editors are so concerned by the issue that last September, the Committee on Publication Ethics (Cope), a publisher-advisory body in London, held a forum dedicated to discussing "systematic manipulation of the publishing process via paper mills."
Their guest speaker was Elisabeth Bik, a research-integrity analyst in California known for her skill in spotting duplicated images in papers and one of the sleuths who posts their concerns about paper mills online.
Bik thinks there are thousands more of these papers in the literature. The RSC's announcement is significant for its openness, she says. "It is pretty embarrassing that so many papers are fake. Kudos to them to admit that they have been fooled."
At some journals that have had a spate of apparent paper-mill submissions, editors have now revamped their review processes, aiming not to be fooled again. Combating industrialised cheating requires stricter review: telling editors to ask for raw data, for instance and hiring people specifically to check images. Science publishing needs a "concerted, coordinated effort to stamp out falsified research", the RSC said.
In January 2020, Bik and other image detectives who work under pseudonyms – Smut Clyde, Morty and Tiger BB8 – posted on a blog run by science journalist Leonid Schneider a list of more than 400 published papers they said probably came from a paper mill. Bik dubbed it the 'tadpole' paper mill, because of the shapes that appeared in the papers' western blot analyses, a type of test used to detect proteins in biological samples.
A spate of media headlines followed. Throughout the year, the sleuths (not always working together) posted spreadsheets of other suspect papers – picking up on similar features across multiple studies. By March 2021, they had collectively listed more than 1,300 articles, by Nature's tally, as possibly coming from paper mills.
Journals started to look at the papers. According to Nature's analysis, around 26 per cent of the articles that the sleuths alleged came from paper mills have so far been retracted or labelled with expressions of concern. Many others are still under investigation. The Journal of Cellular Biochemistry (JCB), for instance, announced in February that, last year, editors investigated and retracted 23 of 137 papers alleged to contain image manipulation.
Journals did not identify problems with all of the papers that had been flagged. Chris Graf, director of research integrity at Wiley, which publishes JCB, said in January that the publisher had completed investigations into 73 papers identified by Bik and others and had found no reason to act on 11 of them. Seven others required corrections and 55 have been retracted or will be retracted.
Publishers almost never explicitly declare on retraction notices that a particular study is fraudulent or was created by a company to order, because it is difficult to prove. None of the RSC's retraction notices, for instance, mentions a paper mill – despite the RSC's announcement that it thinks the articles did come from one.
But Nature has tallied 370 articles retracted since January 2020, all from authors at Chinese hospitals, that either publishers or independent sleuths have alleged to come from paper mills. Most were published in the past three years. Publishers have added expressions of concern to another 45 such articles.
Nature has identified a further 197 retractions of papers from authors at Chinese hospitals since the start of last year. These are not ones that have made it onto lists of potential publication-mill products, although some were flagged by sleuths for image concerns, often on the post-publication peer-review website PubPeer.
The problem of organised fraud in publishing is not new and not confined to China, notes Catriona Fennell, who heads publishing services at the world's largest scientific publisher, Elsevier. "We've seen evidence of industrialised cheating from several other countries, including Iran and Russia," she told Nature last year. Others have also reported on Iranian and Russian paper-mill activities.
In a statement this year to Nature, Elsevier said that its journal editors detect and prevent the publication of thousands of probable paper-mill submissions each year, although some do get through.
China has long been known to have a problem with firms selling papers to researchers, says Xiaotian Chen, a librarian at Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois. As far back as 2010, a team led by Shen Yang, a management-studies researcher then at Wuhan University in China, warned of websites offering to ghost-write papers on fictional research or to bypass peer-review systems for payment.

If your ego can't handle the truth without "shading", your ego is out of whack. And if your "courtiers" are afraid to tell you the truth, you have hired the wrong people or given them the wrong message.
And another little story that might make you think about how naked we might be without a strong carrier force.

Q: How to set affinity for a timer in C/C++ under Linux? I have timer created with a function timer_create(CLOCK_REALTIME, &events, &timer), where timer is a unique per process timer ID (according to man).
Now there is sched_setaffinity function to set affinity for a given PID.
How can I set affinity for my timer? Not the whole program, but only the timer thread. I am not sure that timer ID is the same thing as PID.

A: Ok, I got the answer.
One way to do this is like that:

*

*Create a new thread using pthread.

*Set affinity for this new thread.

*In the entry routine of the new thread, initialize the timer (create and set). We can use SIGEV_THREAD as it is convenient to use.

*The POSIX timer thread, as well as threads created when the timer overflows, will inherit affinity from our thread created in step 1.

*Join the thread from step 1 with the main thread. This thread will cease to exist, but its child thread (timer) will persist.

Q: Sqlite database migration issue caused by Locale dependant table names My question is about how to fix the problem we faced in a way that works for both existing Sqlite databases (users who update their app) as well as preventing it from happening in the future.
Problem
We are using OrmLite in our Android application, the way we are creating our tables is that we are using the OrmLite annotation @DatabaseTable on our models.
Digging deeper into OrmLite source code, found that DatabaseTableConfig.extractTableName method does that to get the table name if you don't specify it as param to the annotation
clazz.getSimpleName().toLowerCase()

And looking in the source code of String found that it does this
toLowerCase(Locale.getDefault())

And for some languages that call to toLowerCase() actually changes the table name (which in this case is the class name)
So for example, if we have a table named info the table name can be turned into ınfo
Now consider this scenario

*

*A user has non-english Locale on their phone, when that table is
created it is called ınfo

*The user changed the locale to english

*The user upgrade the app, and onUpgrade is called, we try to ALTER
the table info but we cannot find it, because it actually is called
ınfo
The only solution that comes to mind

*

*Force toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH) for all users

*When we run into a case where we cannot find a table onUpgrade we
drop that table and re-create it

This has a downside of losing the locally stored info of the user
My question is, does anyone have a suggestion that will be forward/backward compatible where we don't lose the old data?
Note: I don't know how many locale's change the english letters into something else, so basically I cannot know which locale was the old one to try "guessing" the old table name and migrating data from it

A: Well only thing I could think of is to use a query like this:
"SELECT name FROM sqlite_master WHERE type = 'table'"

to get all the table names in DB.
You can use it in some sort of update/rebuild utility for users db and just try to match table names from english locale to something inside table names set.
Once you will find a match you can fix the name using eg:
"ALTER TABLE old_name RENAME TO new_name"

It's hard to give you some straight idea of matching method but you can check if:
("ınfo".toUpperCase(Locale.ENGLISH)).toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH).equals("info")

This "ı" character issue is well known and appears eg when using Turkish locale and as far as I know
"ı".toUpperCase(Locale.ENGLISH).equals("I")

and
"I".toLowerCase(Locale.ENGLISH).equals("i")

So there is a chance for this double conversion I posted.

The prescription medication Actonel is prescribed to women and men who wish to increase their bone mass and density. As with any such drug, its use should follow the guidelines issued by its parent company to avoid potentially dangerous side effects.
There are five different tablet forms of the drug that may be prescribed. For women either treating or seeking to prevent osteoporosis, dosage may take the form of a daily 5 milligram tablet, a weekly 35 milligram tablet, a 75 milligram tablet taken once a month for two consecutive days, or a high dose 150 milligram tablet taken monthly. Men with osteoporosis caused by steroid use should be issued the 5 milligram tablet.
A 35 milligram tablet is issued only to those who are battling Paget's disease. This tablet is taken daily for a two month round of treatment. Should this treatment not be effective, a second round of treatment may follow. Clinical studies have not been conclusive in determining what kind of treatment is indicated if this round of medication is not effective.
The procedure for ingesting these tablets is the same regardless of their dosage strength. Actonel should be taken in the morning, 30 minutes before the patient consumes any food or liquids. The only liquid which should be consumed with Actonel is non-carbonated water. Once the tablet has been ingested, the patient should remain sitting or standing upright for 30 minutes. This is to facilitate the quick delivery of the drug to the stomach, which will be compromised by lying down.
Doctors should ask a patient to describe any medical conditions they are aware of before prescribing Actonel. If you are experiencing bone trouble such as hypocalcemia, these problems should be treated before you can begin taking the medication. Once you have begun taking Actonel, it is important to make sure that you maintain adequate consumption levels of calcium and Vitamin D. If you are not receiving sufficient quantities of these through your diet, a physician may require you to take supplements to maintain proper bone structure.
Be sure to carefully observe any signs that your body is responding badly to treatment. You should be especially alert to any gastric distress, which may lead to ulcers or other complications. Pain in and around your mouth should also be reported, since it may be an indication that osteonecrosis of your jaw is taking place. A physician may request that you keep a diary recording any side effects you notice while taking the drug. Any pain should be immediately reported to a physician.
While you should follow all Actonel instructions, these will not always guarantee that your body will not respond adversely to this form of treatment. FDA reports on all potential side effects are not conclusive. If you experience adverse effects, you may wish to seek out legal assistance in filing a lawsuit seeking compensation related to medical expenses, pain, suffering and lost wages. Such legal action should not be undertaken until you have taken appropriate steps to safeguard your health.

% On Pilgrimage - January 1947 % Dorothy Day
The Catholic Worker, January 1947, 1, 2, 4.
Summary: The story of a poor family–a pregnant wife and her drug addicted husband–that elicits the prayer "Dear God, help us to increase in holy hope." Reports that Peter Maurin will spend the winter well cared for by friends in Rochester, NY. (DDLW #432).
This is the month of the Holy Family, and January 12 is the feast day of the Holy Family, instituted quite recently by Benedict fifteenth. And here is a story of a family, not a holy one, that we have with us now. We no longer have a Mary house but we have here at 115 Mott Street two apartments called Maryflat and Marthaflat respectively. They are what the city calls dumbbell apartments because of their shape: two slightly larger rooms back and front, and in between two small rooms with no windows.
There are seven of us women living in these flats, and sometimes more in the way of transients and visitors. One can always put a few mattresses out on the floor, and we also have an elegant army sleeping bag. There is no hot water and one is heated by an open fireplace and the other by a tiny stove which is always going out. One must have a gift with fires, a red thumb, one might say, as one must have a green thumb to be a good gardener. (Julia has a green thumb. We have some of her plants growing in our windows, one of them a grapefruit tree, three feet tall, grown from a seed. Happy miracle!)
Margaret likes to stir the open fire from the top and when anyone corrects her she murmurs, "Always complaining! People are always complaining." She was a weaver in Lancashire, and then in New England until "President Roosevelt closed all the mills in New England back in 1933," she says. Her history is original. She is almost seventy.
Elizabeth is our mother-to-be. She is thirty; large, strong and patient. As I write, she is due in a couple of days. Her husband is a drug addict, fifty years old. When they first came to us six months ago they had been sleeping in cellars and empty buildings, in doorways and once, as I went to Mass, I saw them asleep on a fire escape of a Chinese hall down the street.
First we offered them separate beds in St. Joseph's house and in Maryflat, but he would not accept this hospitality. They ate with us, he usually falling asleep with his head in his soup, and she patiently lifting up his face and feeding him like a child. Later we got them an apartment across the street, three rooms with hot water for ten dollars a month. But the usually forbearing Italian neighbors, fearful of fires and worse evils, padlocked the door on them after a couple of months and would not allow them in. Somewhat fearful of the cold weather by then, the man consented to stay in St. Joseph's house and let his wife stay in Maryflat. But he kept coming in at four in the morning, falling asleep on the floor before he reached his bed. When he was found one morning sleeping on a burning mattress, we were forced for the common good to put him out, but for her sake we put him in a thirty-cent room on the Bowery. Because he was a fire hazard, he was put out of half a dozen hotels so he took again to walking the streets. Meanwhile, we were able to keep his wife with us, nights, but day after day he called for her and dragged her about with him on the streets, begging and dozing and floundering about the parks and Bowery restaurants.
Last night, New Year's Eve, as he sat at supper, asleep and yet being fed by his wife, we called the ambulance. He was conscious enough when they got here to answer the questions they put to him, and to refuse to go to the hospital. He was obviously drugged, his eyes dazed and half-opened, his voice halting, monotonous and bitter in his refusal to accept hospital aid. The policeman who always accompanies the ambulance and the doctor both said that he could not be taken against his will, so after making him sign a paper stating that he had refused hospital aid, they went away. "She is my legal wife," the man kept muttering. "She has to stick to me. She can't leave me. She has to take care of me."
Oh, the distortion of the idea of the Holy Family. She has to take care of him and she about to bear his child!
Later that might she told me of horrible experiences she had had, of fighting off drunken men, of repelling advances of janitors, who had in a supposedly charitable spirit, allowed them to sleep in a warm basement, and who bothered her after he had fallen unconscious. "He accuses me of having someone else's child," she said. She talked of the unutterable fatigue and suffering she had gone through, the craving for sleep, for rest, "But I am strong, I am never sick."
This is to be her second child. The first died soon after birth. What kind of a child this will be, of a simple-minded mother and a drug-ridden father, it is hard to see. But we have a little bed ready for the baby, and a box of pretty garments, and she is happy as she looks at them, and there is even gaiety in our midst as we sit around the fire and have a cup of tea in the holiday spirit.
There is no place else for her to go but here. All hospitals have charitable accommodations for mothers and when they cannot pay, the city does. But the mother cannot go to the hospital until her time is come. The Foundling hospital takes care of unmarried mothers and the girl can go there months before her time. But it is always crowded and besides, Elizabeth is married, a legal wife.
It is hard to see Christ here, yet see Him we must, or rate such men as this only fit for the lethal chamber of a Hitler, or a forced labor camp of a Stalin. The forced labor camp would not be such a bad idea, but we are a Christian nation, in name, and yes, in deed very often too.
It is a far happier thing to contemplate the heroism and the nobility of such men as Archbishop McIntyre, whom we read of in today's paper as trying to reach entrapped firemen in a burning building last night on lower Broadway. It is far easier to see Christ in Dr. Harry Archer, seventy-eight years old, who crawled into the collapsing building to reach the entombed men. The lives of hard work and the noble courage of such men as these makes it easy to praise God in His creatures.
We love God as much as the one we love the least, a priest once said to us, and I think of that as I see Mr. Hagner, tall, gaunt, an ascetic looking sensualist, dragging his poor wife through the Bowery in search of his barbiturates, defying God in his slow and awful suicide.
"Love in practice is a harsh and dreadful thing compared to love in dreams."
"Our faith must be tried as though by fire."
Dear God, help us to increase in holy hope.
HAPPIER NEWS
As usual Fr. Betowsky served our breadline on Christmas day, and generous friends heaped up the feast for us with turkeys and hams enough to serve three hundred people. We thank them one and all, and thank God for such good friends who keep us, their stewards, busy.
We got a tremendous number of beautiful Christmas cards which Peter Carey will take, with his weekly supply of literature, to Bellevue hospital for the children. We thank our friends who remembered us all.
Louis Murphy and Justine L'Esperance, leaders in the Detroit Catholic Worker activities (they have three Houses of Hospitality and a farm) are exchanging vows at a nuptial Mass, January eleventh, the eve of the feast of the Holy Family. I am going to the wedding and from Detroit go to Montreal to see Fr. Pacifique Roy, our dear friend and helper, former chaplain of Maryfarm, who is in a Montreal hospital with a tumor on the brain. We beg prayers and Masses for him.
This Christmas was one of the first Christmases Peter Maurin spent away from home, so I went to Rochester, N.Y., Christmas eve to enjoy the feast with him. Peter is spending the winter with Mrs. Lawrence Weider, whom we call Mother Weider because she automatically becomes a mother to all with whom she comes in contact. She is our oldest friend in Rochester, where we have a very good House of Hospitality, with Joe Ciernicke (if that isn't the way to spell it, excuse me please), in charge. There is a fine young group in Rochester who have been faithful to the work these many years, now. Mother Weider herself has always made her home into a hospitality and many a guest she has nursed back to health and hope. Peter not being too well, she and her husband are making him at home for the winter months, and I am sure he has never spent the winter in such comfort, in a warm big house on the outskirts of Rochester, looking out in every direction on snow covered fields, pine trees and country roads. Visitors come, and Peter goes visiting, and he is sojourning in a modest comfort he has never, in all his seventy hard years of voluntary poverty enjoyed. Living at Maryfarm in a barn on days like this (it is twenty above here and ten above there right now) is for the most active young ones of the movement. It is not as though he could go out and warm up with the wood and an axe. Peter's heart trouble which kept him out of military training as a young man in France, has finally caught up with him and he has had to order his life accordingly. Or rather, let us so order it for him, for he is the meekest and most submissive of men. I am working again on his life, and beg the prayers of our readers that I can make something of it that will inspire others, as he has inspired us.

Broșarea este un  procedeu de așchiere cu o broșă, care este o sculă așchietoare cu mai mulți dinți, așezați succesiv după înălțime crescătoare, între care există o supraînălțare pe dinte, egală cu grosimea așchiei ce va fi înlăturată de fiecare dinte. Supraînălțarea pe dinte este perpendiculară pe direcția vitezei de așchiere și constituie avansul pe dinte, care înlocuește o mișcare de avans.  Mișcarea de așchiere este rectilinie, iar în cazuri speciale - elicoidală sau circulară.

Broșarea poate realiza o productivitate înaltă, deoarece la o cursă a broșei este îndepărtat întregul adaos de prelucrare, în așchiere fiind angajați simultan mai mulți dinți succesivi. După criteriul productivității prelucrării prin așchiere, broșarea se situează pe primul loc, în comparație cu celelalte procedee de prelucrare; de exemplu, broșarea găurilor este de 10...25 ori mai productivă decât prelucrarea cu alezor. Se obțin suprafețe cu rugozități reduse, Ra = 0,2...0,8 μm, și precizii ridicate, cu respectarea unor toleranțe IT7...IT8, uneori chiar până la IT10.

Aceste scule așchietoare pot fi folosite numai la producții în serii mari și în masă, din cauza costului mare al sculei și pe de altă parte, având în vedere că o broșă de o dimensiune dată poate fi folosită pentru o singură secțiune transversală a așchiei nedeformate. Broșarea se execută aproape totdeauna în prezența lichidelor de așchiere, pentru a garanta transportul așchiilor din zona de așchiere, precum și pentru efectul lor lubrifiant.

Procedee de broșare
Se deosebesc următoarele procedee de broșare:
 broșare plană;
 broșare circulară;
 broșare elicoidală;
 broșare profilurilor;
 broșarea formelor.
Se mai disting și broșarea interioară, precum  și broșarea exterioară, procedee pentru care s-au dezvoltat mașini-unelte diferite și broșe de construcții diferite. La broșarea interioară,  broșa este trasă/împinsă  prin gaura găurită în prealabil la un diametru corespunzător, sau profilată cu un profil hexagonal, pătrat etc., lăsând un adaos de prelucrare convenabil pentru broșare. La broșarea exterioară, la care se folosesc așa-numitele broșe plane, scula așchietoare este trasă/împinsă în lungul suprafeței exterioare a piesei de prelucrat. Conturul final al suprafețelor este generat, de obicei, într-o singură cursă de lucru.

Pentru broșarea oțelurilor necălite, frecvent se folosesc broșe din oțel rapid, înbro;at.să pentru materiale de prelucrat cu duritatea sub HRC 35. La producția de serie mare a pieselor din fontă cenușie sau a pieselor din oțeluri călite, ca materiale pentru broșe sunt utilizate carburi metalice sau nitrură cubică de bor. Vitezele de așchiere la broșarea oțelurilor sunt în domeniul v= 1...30 m/min și sunt limitate de viteza maximă a cursei de lucru, realizabilă pe mașina de broșat.

Broșarea plană
Broșele sunt scule așchietoare prevăzute cu dinți de degroșare, dinți de finisare și dinți de calibrare. Acești dinți diferă în privința avansului pe dinte (supraînălțare). Pentru dinții de degroșare avansul pe dinte fz = 0,1...0,25 mm, în funcție de piesa de prelucrat, pentru dinții de finisare fz = 0,0015...0,04 mm, iar pentru dinții de calibrare supraînălțarea este egală cu zero.

Parametrii procesului de broșare și construcția broșei sunt influențate de schema de așchiere prin care se înțelege modul de repartizare a adaosului de prelucrare între diferiții dinți ai broșei.

În practica industrială se folosesc schema de broșare după profil  și schema de broșare progresivă. Broșarea după profil se caracterizează prin faptul că dinții broșei au în secțiunea transversală un profil similar cu profilul transversal al suprafeței prelucrate, iar supraînălțarea pe dinte are direcție normală pe suprafața de prelucrat. În acest caz, adaosul de prelucrare trebuie să fie relativ mic și este îndepărtat treptat, sub forma unor straturi profilate. Dezavantajul broșei după profil este că uzura dinților broșei este neuniformă, primii dinți uzându-se mai mult decât ceilalți. Pentru a obține ruperea așchiilor, dinții așchietori se prevăd cu canale pentru fragmentarea așchiilor.

Pentru uniformizarea relativă a forțelor de așchiere dinții broșei se execută înclinați cu unghiul λ, asigurându-se variații minime ale forței de așchiere totale. Valorile unghiului λ se aleg până la 5...100.
Broșarea progresivă se caracterizează prin faptul că materialul este detașat nu pe straturi corespunzătoare întregului profil, ci fiecare dinte așchiază numai o parte din lățimea profilului, astfel încât lățimea totală a profilului este împărțită pe mai mulți dinți așchietori (grupe de câte 2 - 3 dinți). Numai dinții de calibrare curăță suprafața pe întreaga lățime. Avansul pe dinte se realizează pe o direcție perpendiculară pe direcția adaosului de prelucrare maxim. Broșele progresive au un număr mic de dinți, însă execuția lor este mai dificilă.
Broșarea  suprafețelor plane prin schema de broșare progresivă a dat cele mai bune rezultate la piesele din fontă chiar în stare brut turnată, fără o prelucrare inițială.
Mașinile-unelte pentru broșare plană sunt mașini verticale, orizontale sau speciale.

Broșarea profilurilor
În categoria variantelor de broșare interioară a profilurilor se încadrează broșarea danturilor interioare în evolventă — un proces important datorită performanțelor ridicate ale așchierii și calității superioare a suprafeței obținute. Exemple de aplicare sunt: roți cu dantură interioară pentru transmisii automate, manșoane culisante, piese cu butuc canelat interior, hexagon interior, pătrat interior și poligoane interioare. De asemenea se broșează profiluri exterioare.

În cazul broșării danturilor interioare, toate golurile dintre dinții piesei sunt prelucrate simultan, la o singură cursă de lucru, iar calitatea danturii broșate depinde de precizia broșei. Pentru diametre interioare până la 150 mm se folosesc broșe dintr-o bucată (monobloc).

Broșarea preliminară și broșarea de finisare pot fi executate fie pe o singură mașină  într-o singură fixare a piesei  (broșa de finisare este atașată la scula de broșare preliminară) sau se execută în două fixări ale piesei, cu două broșe separate. Broșarea preliminară și broșarea de finisare pot fi împărțite pe două mașini de broșat separate, pentru a exclude influența reciprocă a proceselor de prelucrare și pentru a garanta o calitate îmbunătățită.

Broșarea "tubulară" () este utilizată pentru broșarea profilurilor exterioare  ale suprafețelor închise.
Scula constă dintr-un corp tubular pe care sunt aplicați segmenți de broșare, coaxiali pe toată lungimea. Mișcarea principală de așchiere, rectilinie, este executată de sculă, ca la broșarea convențională. În altă variantă a acestui proces, piesa de prelucrat efectuează cursa de lucru, fiind împinsă sau trasă prin interiorul broșei "tubulare" care este staționară. Piesa de prelucrat este presată de scula de broșare astfel încât toate contururile ce trebuie obținute pe periferia piesei de prelucrat sunt generate într-o singură cursă de lucru.
Alt domeniu important de aplicare a broșării profilurilor exterioare este uzinarea profilelor canalelor  "în con de brad" pentru montarea paletelor pe periferia discurilor de turbină. În acest scop, fiecare profil "în con de brad" este broșat separat, apoi discul de turbină este rotit cu un pas, în mod intermitent.

Broșarea formelor
După clasificarea din standardul german DIN 8589e, procedeul  de broșare cilindrică exterioară cu o broșă cu mai mulți dinți, scula având mișcare alternativă rectilinie, precum și procedeul de broșare cilindrică exterioară cu scula în mișcare de rotație  sunt incluse în subgrupa broșărilor denumită broșarea formelor().

Procedeul de broșare cilindrică exterioară cu broșa în mișcare alternativă rectilinie este o combinație a strunjirii cilidrice exterioare cu broșarea. Prin înlocuirea sculei de strunjire cu o broșă cu dinți multipli, se combină avantajele strunjirii (proces continuu) cu cele ale broșării (sculă cu dinți multipli).  Din cauza sculei complexe și a timpilor de prelucrare foarte mici, această variantă este în special convenabilă pentru producția în serii mari și în masă. Se aplică, de exemplu,  pentru finisarea fusurilor pentru lagăre paliere ale arborilor cotiți.

Broșarea cilindrică exterioară cu scula în rotație  este realizată cu piesa în rotație și cu o mișcare de avans de translație a sculei de broșare. Direcția activă a avansului are loc perpendicular pe axa de rotație a piesei de prelucrat și tangențial la suprafața care se prelucrează. (Fritz Klocke, 2011, p. 452, ref. 2). Viteza de așchiere este creată de mișcarea de rotație a piesei. Domeniul preferat de aplicație este prelucrarea fusurilor paliere și a manetoanelor la arbori cotiți. Pot fi broșate simultan mai multe fusuri paliere, prin angajarea simultană a mai multor scule de broșare, aranjate adiacent pe mașina-unealtă specială.

În broșarea cilindrică exterioară cu scula în rotație, așchierea tangențială se obține prin mișcarea de rotație a sculei, cu mișcarea de avans circular al sculei rotative. Tăișurile individuale ale dinților sunt decalate în lungul periferiei sculei cu valoarea avansului pe dinte.

Broșarea elicoidală
Pentru broșarea găurilor adânci, cu D < 10...15 mm și L > 100 mm, în vederea eliminării așchiilor, se utilizează broșe cu canale elicoidale. Broșa execută o mișcare rectilinie și una de rotație.

Pentru executarea alezajelor cu canale elicoidale se folosesc broșe speciale, la care dinții broșei sunt dispuși în șiruri elicoidale, broșa, respectiv piesa având o mișcare de rotație. Forța de așchiere crește cu 60%, datorită frecărilor care intervin.

Why is there a lot of media about cellulite?
The condition is not new but, now that there's are non-surgical solutions BTL Unison for it, demand is growing as many women would not contemplate surgery. Improved appearance of cellulite giving improved confidence is now a simple short painless procedure.
What treatments are available and how does it work?
BTL Unison treatment is specifically designed to help women who suffer from cellulite. The treatment works in conjunction with the body's natural reparative process kick starting the fibroblast activity to rebuild collagen and elastin fibers without surgery, without pain and without down time.
Laser treatment may improve the appearance of cellulite however it is an invasive treatment. It involves inserting a laser probe under the skin.
Liposuction and dieting do not remove cellulite because it does not affect the structure of the connective tissue.
Studies show that this can reduce the appearance of cellulite. Several treatment sessions are needed to see a reduction.
Acoustic wave therapy: A handheld device uses sound waves to break up cellulite.
Cryolipolysis This treatment freezes unwanted fat to get rid of it. While it can be very effective for getting rid of small pockets of unwanted fat, it currently cannot get rid of cellulite.

394 students graduate from AKVTI
admin December 14, 2015 Latest Updates, Nation Comments Off on 394 students graduate from AKVTI 211 Views
AT-KABUL: As many as 394 students graduated from Afghan Korea Vocational Training Institute (AKVTI) here on Sunday.
Speaking at the ceremony Head of the AKVTI, Mir Jalaludin Hesham, said that the students received theory and practice based training in seven different areas including construction, plumbing, electrical, car repairing, tailoring as well as computer and English language courses.
He termed lack of vocational institutes as one of the main reasons behind widespread unemployment in Afghanistan. He said that thousands of youth graduate from higher education institutions annually, but most of them cannot find jobs due to lack of practical skills.
He said that several students of the institute illegally migrated to foreign countries in pursuit of jobs.
"Unfortunately most of the training centers and universities focus on theory, rather than practice," he said. He added that duration of training in electrical, construction, plumbing and car repairing was one year, while the remaining departments provide six months training. He added that 80 percent of their training is practice based.
He said that only professional and educated work force can steer Afghanistan towards development. He said that the AKVTI is committed to raise the capacity of the work force of the country.
"The institute train students according to labor market demands," He added.
The Minister of Labor, Social Affairs, Martyrs and Disabled (MoLSAMD) Nasrin Oriakhil said that unemployment rate had increased and tackling the problem was in top priority of the government.
She said that unemployment and insecurity are closely connected. "To improve security, the government should create jobs," she added.
Oriakhil said that some 22,000 workers would be sent to Saudi Arabia in the near future.
"Unfortunately, our education centers don't train work force according to labor market demands and we don't have a center to evaluate market's demands," she added.
She said that the ministry has established vocational institutions in 34 provinces.
AKVTI was established with the financial support of South Korea in 2005 and till date has graduated over 2700 students.

The mid 15th century MS 1467 (pictured) was likely composed by a member of Clann MacMhuirich.
The MacMhuirich bardic family, known in Scottish Gaelic as Clann MacMhuirich and Clann Mhuirich, was a prominent family of bards and other professionals in 15th to 18th centuries. The family was centred in the Hebrides, and claimed descent from a 13th-century Irish bard who, according to legend, was exiled to Scotland. The family was at first chiefly employed by the Lords of the Isles as poets, lawyers, and physicians. With the fall of the Lordship of the Isles in the 15th century, the family was chiefly employed by the chiefs of the MacDonalds of Clanranald. Members of the family were also recorded as musicians in the early 16th century, and as clergymen possibly as early as the early 15th century.
The family claimed descent from Muireadhach Albanach Ó Dálaigh (fl.1200–1230). Muireadhach Albanach was a member of the eminent Ó Dálaigh bardic dynasty. This family is sometimes traced back to either of two men named Dálach: one is the legendary student of Abbot Colmán mac Lénéni of Cloyne; the other is another legendary figure, who was a descendant of the 8th-century Irish king Fergal mac Maíle Dúin, son of Maíle Fithraig. Muireadhach Albanach gained the nickname Albanach ("the Scot") in reference to the time he spent in Scotland. He supposedly spent 15 years in there, after being exiled for killing a steward of Domhnall Mór Ó Domhnaill (1207–1241), Lord of Tyrconell. While in Scotland, Muireadhach Albanach was employed as a bard by the Earls of Lennox, and it appears as if members of his family also settled in the Lennox, as a "Kathil Macmurchy" is recorded in the Lennox in the mid 13th century.[note 1] In a lament that Muireadhach Albanach composed on the death of his wife, Maol Mheadha, he stated that she bore him 11 children.
An early member of the MacMhuirich family was Lachlann Mór MacMhuirich, who authored the battle-incitement poem of Clan Donald (Clann Domhnaill) sometime before the Battle of Harlaw, which took place in 1411. A possible descendant of Lachlann's was one "Lacclannus mcmuredhaich archipoeta", who witnessed a charter of Aonghas of Islay, son of the last member of Clann Domhnaill to be recognised as Lord of the Isles. Other members of the MacMhuirich family, possibly one or two, composed poems of Aonghas's murder that are preserved in the Book of the Dean of Lismore. From about the 1490s and onwards, members of the family are also recorded as clergymen (and possibly as early as 1432, if the "John Muaritti" recorded in the Apostolic Camera is indeed a MacMhuirich).
Following the collapse of the Lordship of the Isles, the MacMhuirich family appears to have been chiefly employed by the chiefs of the MacDonalds of Clanranald (Clann Raghnaill). The earliest poet of the MacMhuirich family on record is Niall Mór MacMhuirich (c.1550-c.1613). A member of the family was the seanchaidh (story-teller and genealogist) who authored much of the Books of Clanranald, which date to the 17th and early 18th centuries. One of these books, the so-called Red Book, is best known for its account of the history of Clann Domhnaill, which was composed by Niall. The other book, the so-called Black Book, is more of a miscellaneous compilation, although it contains a version of Niall's history composed by a member of the Beaton family, another learned family of professionals that was once centred in the Hebrides.
Other noted members of the family were Cathal MacMhuirich (fl.1625) and Niall MacMhuirich (c.1637–1726). In the first part of the 16th century members of the family are also recorded as Harpers, and one "John oig Mc murcquhie leiche in Ilay", a physician, is recorded in 1615. The last of the family to practice Classical Gaelic poetry was Domhnall MacMhuirich, who lived on South Uist, as a tenant of Macdonald of Clanranald, in the 18th century.
^ In Scotland, the masculine Gaelic name Cathal has been confined mainly to the MacMhuirich family.

Honda's New CBR250R Yet To Be Released In Competition For Kawasaki Ninja 250R
EditorOne
Honda is one of the best companies in manufacturing bikes and cars. Those bikes and bikes which are released by Honda are not just simple they look stylish and even consists of more power engines. This company, Honda is the worlds best bike manufacturer when compared to other companies like Suzuki, BMW and many more. But the cars that are manufactured by this company are not in the top position but one of the best cars to say frankly. Some of the cars like Civic, NSZ-R, Corolla are some of the best cars that are manufactured by the Honda company. Recently Honda have released two sport bikes in India namely CBR-150R and CBR-250R in which both of them look alike and stylish. People in India wish to opt this type of bikes because, the sports bikes which are 1000cc cannot be run on the roads of India in all the places. So, people wish to have the design of sports bikes and engine capacity of around 250cc or 150cc.
In competition to these bikes there are some similar bikes such as Yamaha R-15 in two different models, Hero's Karizma ZMR 250cc, Karizma R-225cc, Kawasaki Ninja 300cc, TVS Apache with different models in it, Harley Davidson and the KTM Duke in relation with the Bajaj automotive. These bikes are the most used bikes by the youngsters of India. Some people even wish to opt 1000cc bikes and ride during mornings on highways.
Recently Honda unveiled its new CBR300R at the CIMA in China a few days ago. Now it is aiming India to release the New CBR250R with a different model and it is going to present this bike at the Tokyo motor show from the November 20th. As there are many rumors going around online that the new CBR250R will look alike the baby VFR. But, the engine and all other inner parts remains the same. There are even news coming out that the new CBR500R will look alike the CBR300R with only change in the engine's cubic capacity.
As of now there is a news that Kawasaki Ninja is targeting India to release its new Ninja 250 which will be same as that of the Ninja 300 and is looking for a particular date to launch. If this is going to happen then there will be a great demand for both the sport looking bikes Honda CBR250R which almost looks like the baby VFR and the Kawasaki Ninja 250R which looks like the Ninja 300.
But the point to be noticed is that Honda have changed the entire body design of CBR250R to look like the VFR and the Kawasaki did not change the design of the bike but is changing the cubic capacity of the bike from 300 to 250. Hence, there might be a though competition between the Honda and the Kawasaki.
