Fremont's Taylor McCabe scored 24 points in the Tigers' win over Lincoln East.
SAVANNAH HAMM/THE WORLD-HERALD
LINCOLN — Fremont got a measure of revenge Tuesday night against Lincoln East.
The second-ranked Tigers rode a big third quarter to a 77-60 victory over the fifth-ranked Spartans. East ended Fremont's season last year by defeating the Tigers in a state tournament semifinal.
Coach Kelly Flynn's squad trailed by a point at halftime but scored 34 in the third quarter to open a 14-point lead. That advantage grew to 23 late in the game as Fremont boosted its record to 11-2.
The host Spartans fell to 5-2.
"I was really happy with the way we played at the start and then the whole second half," Flynn said "We know how aggressive they are, but I thought we responded well."
The Tigers were coming off a 77-73 win over Iowa power Glenwood, a game in which they scored 30 in the third quarter. Fremont was even better in that period Tuesday night, sinking eight free throws and 11 of 19 shots from the field — including four 3-pointers.
"They ramped it up a notch, and we didn't match it," East coach Dennis Prichard said. "They've got a lot of girls that can score."
Leading the way was Taylor McCabe, who finished with a game-high 24 points. The Iowa pledge had a career-high 37 in Saturday's win over Glenwood.

Fremont led 21-14 after the first quarter but only scored six in the second as the Spartans grabbed a one-point halftime lead. McCabe and Sarah Shepard each scored 10 in the third quarter, which ended with a 3-pointer from Charli Earth.
The Tigers made 11 shots from behind the arc, with McCabe sinking four.
Fremont also held a 38-24 advantage on the boards.
"I like the fact we outrebounded them," Flynn said. "We wanted to go hard to the basket every chance we got."
Shepard scored 16 points for the Tigers and had seven rebounds. Bella Keaton chipped in 11 points while Macy Bryant had 10 points and eight rebounds.
Matalynn Campbell led East with 22 points.
"We know that we've got some things to work on," Prichard said. "Hopefully we can learn something from this one."
It was the first of three games this week against ranked foes for the Tigers. They play at Lincoln Southwest on Friday and at home Saturday against Omaha Marian.
"Looking at our schedule we knew this was going to be a big week," Flynn said. "This got us off to a good start."

When asked, the majority of people getting glasses will turn down the option of getting a pair of prescription sunglasses as well, opting instead of cheap department store sunglasses that provide no eyesight benefit. This is a shame because prescription sunglasses can provide a range of advantages. Let's take a moment to review five reasons why you should consider investing in prescription sunglasses.
Prescriptions sunglasses that you invest money into will typically last longer then inexpensive glasses. They will be made of better materials, be lightweight, and be more resistant to damage. Prescription sunglasses can become your go-to sunglasses, offering perfect vision and style while offering you less glare from the sun.
Most people do not wear their prescription sunglasses as often as they will wear their regular glasses. The benefit of this is that you will have a pair of glasses that you can carry with you for years. In addition to lasting longer, you can also benefit from the fact that your eyes will not change that much over time. While primary glasses will need to be more accurate, sunglasses have some wiggle room, allowing you to get away with keeping them longer.
Let's be real. Many sunglasses out there look cheap. By investing in a quality pair of sunglasses, the material quality alone will shine through. It is hard to put one's finger on exactly what makes the sunglasses look cheap. However, prescription sunglasses manage to look fantastic and not risk looking low quality.
Sunglasses, like regular prescription glasses from an optical clinic, come in a much wider variety than those you can buy in a department store. Along with being better made and providing a greater range of protection, investing in prescription sunglasses will mean having more styles to choose from. Since they can be custom-made, you can decide on the exact style you want to match your complexion.
When you invest in prescription sunglasses, you are putting money into better lens that are more capable of keeping out harmful UV lights. In addition, they are more carefully designed, offering better visibility, better protection, and better comfort. If nothing else, the prescription on the lens makes it so that you can wear them when driving or when seeing either close or far is necessary depending on your eyesight.

GTA 5 To Feature Revolutionary 'Speech Graphics'?
Posted by Psy via RockstarSpy February 10, 2012 : 26 Comments : 16,725 Views
One of the standout features of Rockstar Games' best-selling detective thriller L.A. Noire was the extremely detailed and realistic facial graphics and animation thanks to Depth Analysis' MotionScan technology. Ever since, speculation has been growing as to whether this same technology will appear in Grand Theft Auto V.
The problem with MotionScan's technology, however, is the sheer amount of storage space it requires. The XBox 360 version of L.A. Noire took up 3 disks and although the game was a success, fans would prefer not to swap disks as they play through a game.
Luckily, there is a solution Rockstar could use to get around this problem while maintaining realistic graphics, but keeping storage space for more important things as our friends at RockstarSpy.com point out...
A company called Speech Graphics, who are based in Edinburgh (the same place as Rockstar North) have spent over two decades researching speech technology for facial animation. Their award winning, multi-lingual solution uses acoustic analysis and muscle dynamics to drive a character's face to accurately match the words and emotion in the audio.
This is a much quicker and less data-intensive process than MotionScan which requires the actor to sit in a chair and perform their script while recorded by 32 high definition cameras.
Here's the most interesting part... Speech Graphics' lip sync system has not yet been used in any released games, but a motion capture studio and a triple-A developer have already integrated it into their production pipeline. Could that be Rockstar Games?
Keep an eye out for the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco on March 7-9 this year where they are set to make an appearance, saying they "Look forward to presenting our new service offerings and our exciting enterprise to transform the way the game industry thinks about speech."
We'll keep looking into this, so check back for news in the future to see if Speech Graphics' technology will be included in GTA V. While you're waiting, why not check out their amazing technology at speech-graphics.com!

I haven't played any GTA games on the 360 because I hated GTA IV, but I hope I don't get the same problem you guys are talking about.
poolshark666_6 (Guest) February 12, 2012
to all u xbox fans if u end up having to use 3 disks for gta5 dont blame the makers of the game blame the makers of the system because rockstar ain't going to make 2 different versions of gta5
i didnt have that problem with changing disks for la noire because i have a ps3 with gta5 coming out soon u xbox people most likely will have to change disks for gta5 too unless microsoft upgrades their system because with just about everything is moving to blu-ray and microsoft doesnt want to upgrade to it
TreeFitty (Guest) February 12, 2012
@jobo: That's because the tech is for the mouths. Animating the rest of the head and eyes is on the people making the game (Rockstar).
Qdeathstar (Guest) February 12, 2012
I didn't think that la-moored graphics were that good, not getting off my ass twice to change the disk....

the faces on that video seem to dead the only thing moving is there mouth.
GTA 5 To Feature Revolutionary 'Speech Graphics'? - Revolutionary new software known as Speech Graphics claims to create realistic facial animation without the need for huge amounts of data. Could it appear in GTA V?

Talking about her achievement, Sonakshi Sinha said, "As a kid, I used to wait for the Guinness Book of World Records to come and use to think if I would get my name into it someday and I feel today the day is so special as I was able to be a part of this prestigious book along with such wonderful ladies and it feels great."
At the event, which was held in Mumbai, Sonakshi Sinha said, "I have started painting a lot. In the last three days I made six paintings. I feel that if I keep up the pace I might break a record some day by being the fastest painter."
Further, talking about women empowerment, Sonakshi Sinha said, "A lot of women have started voicing their thoughts today and that is the biggest step one can take for women empowerment and I believe that there is nothing better than women empowering women and if we support each other than no one can stop women from growing."

Launch The discovery of penicillin predicated on observations produced when and had been co-cultured on a single agar plate was arguably the starting place of the Golden Period of Antibiotics [1], [2]. However, will not offer penicillin in enough amounts for mass creation under typical broth conditions. This problem was solved by the discovery of strain whose penicillin output exceeded that of order Rapamycin Flemings mold by a factor of 1000 [3]. To conserve nutrients and avoid self-toxicity and also resistance development, organisms produce and secrete many antimicrobial agents on a facultative basis. This is especially true for microorganisms such as fungi, which cannot rely as much on nutrient depots and cell-specialization. As a result, fungi would benefit especially from having metabolic HMGCS1 pathways that are dormant or downregulated where there are no competing microorganisms. Consequently, it is disputable that fungi secrete the full spectrum of antimicrobial agents in standard laboratory growth conditions. Methods for activating these pathways could consequently be useful for finding new metabolites or increasing the secretion of known ones, which may be beneficial in drug discovery and production. Pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) are widely used to simulate the presence of bacteria and other pathogens in studies on mammalian immune systems [4], [5]. PAMPs are highly conserved molecular structures, typically essential components of the pathogens cytoplasmic barrier, which can act as general recognition targets for detecting their presence. The detection of PAMPs by the immune system of insects and mammals stimulates innate immune responses and thus prevents infections [6]. Some molecules that have been classified as PAMPs include lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria, lipoteichoic acid (LTA) from Gram-positive bacteria, and peptidoglycan (PG) associated with both groups of bacteria. These bacterial cell wall and membrane components induce responses in mammalian hosts by binding to Toll-like receptors (TLRs), which are a subfamily of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). TLRs have been identified in a diverse range order Rapamycin of animals but not in fungi [7]C[10]. Although fungi seem to lack TLRs, it is important to know if also fungi involve some system for detecting and giving an answer to common bacterial PAMPs. The fungus may be the most typical causative agent of mold infections in human beings [11]. Pathogenic species of the genus frequently infect severely immunocompromised sufferers in addition to people that have more moderate degrees of immunosuppression, such as for example sufferers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or critically ill intensive treatment sufferers, in whom it could cause severe invasive infections with high mortality prices [11]. The purpose of the task reported herein was to find out how three PAMPs (LPS, LTA and PG) have an effect on the secreted metabolite profile of The usage of bacterias or PAMPs to induce fungal metabolite creation represents a novel methodology. The original way of discovering fungal secondary metabolites would be to cultivate them in a typical medium and analyze the lifestyle filtrate or fungal mycelium [12]. Elicitation using PAMPs could possibly be especially useful since it is most likely that lots of bioactive fungal metabolites are created facultatively therefore would not really be viewed under regular cultivation circumstances. It was anticipated that the outcomes attained in this manner might improve our knowledge of the pathogenesis of fungal infections, especially the changeover from colonization to invasion, and the issues connected with bacterial co-infections [13]. was chosen because the object of research due to the potential to supply clinically relevant details in addition to new insights in to the ramifications of PAMPs on fungal metabolic process.

Richard Bell (March 5, 1946 – June 15, 2007) was a Canadian musician best known as the pianist for Janis Joplin and her Full Tilt Boogie Band. He was also a keyboardist with the Band during the 1990s.

Early life and career
Richard Bell was the son of the Canadian composer and musician Dr. Leslie Bell. Richard started playing the piano at the age of four and studied music at Canada's Royal Conservatory of Music.

After a short stint in The Mid-Knights, Bell's career first gained significance when he joined Ronnie Hawkins as a member of the group And Many Others, following the departure of Hawkins's previous band (who would gain fame as the Band). Hawkins fired the entire band in early 1970, and they renamed themselves Crowbar, subsequently recording Official Music (as King Biscuit Boy with Crowbar) (1970, Daffodil; 1996, Stony Plain). Bell left Crowbar shortly after this to join Janis Joplin's Full Tilt Boogie Band, making good on an offer made the previous year by her manager.

Janis Joplin
In the late 1960s, while touring with Hawkins at the Fillmore East, Bell was approached by Michael Friedman, an associate of Joplin's manager, Albert Grossman, and invited to join her new ensemble. His playing can be heard on her posthumously released album Pearl and many bootleg recordings from her 1970 tour, including performances from the Festival Express "train tour" of Canada. Bell was interviewed many years later for the 2003 documentary film of the same name.

Session work
Following Joplin's death, Bell moved to Woodstock, New York, where he worked as a session musician. Among those he worked with during this time were Paul Butterfield, Karen Dalton and John Sebastian.

Other acts Bell worked with include Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Judy Collins, the Fridge Magnets, Cowboy Junkies, Bob Dylan, Michael Kaeshammer, Bonnie Raitt and Joe Walsh.

The Band
Bell moved to Atlanta, Georgia, in 1979 and played with various bands, including Pyro, with Jim Weider and Rick Pierce. He did session work also. He married Mary Deacon in 1979. He played with the Convertibles, with bandmates Scott Boyer and Tommy Talton (Cowboy), Topper Price, Brian Wheeler (Locust Fork) and Rick Kurtz (Delbert McClinton), among others, before returning to Canada and the Band.

In 1991, Bell joined the reconstituted lineup of the Band as a keyboardist, replacing Stan Szelest (himself a replacement for original pianist, Richard Manuel, who committed suicide in 1986). Bell remained with the Band through their final three albums (Jericho, High on the Hog, and Jubilation). He was credited as a co-writer of "The Caves of Jericho", from the album Jericho. The death of Rick Danko in 1999 essentially ended the association known as the Band.

Later years
In later years, Bell performed as keyboard player with Canadian roots-rock performers such as Colin Linden, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Paul Reddick and Kathleen Edwards.

At the time of his death, the Toronto-based musician had been performing regularly as a keyboardist, songwriter and occasional vocalist with the Porkbelly Futures
and Danny Brooks & the Rockin' Revelators. (He produced two of Brooks's albums.) Bell was also a member of the country-rock group Burrito Deluxe, performing and contributing songs to their CD Disciples of the Truth.

Bell died after a long battle with multiple myeloma on June 15, 2007, in Toronto's Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, at the age of 61.

Google Maps announces it will show more 'eco-friendly' routes
Improvements to Google Maps tap into artificial intelligence for features including figuring out more fuel-efficient ways to get around
A Google logo is seen on the brand's stand ahead of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, on January 20, 2020. — AFP/File
Google said Tuesday it will start showing drivers of its free Maps navigation service travel routes that are less damaging to the environment.
Improvements to Google Maps tap into artificial intelligence for features including figuring out more fuel-efficient ways to get around.
"Soon, Google Maps will default to the route with the lowest carbon footprint when it has approximately the same ETA (estimated arrival time) as the fastest route," vice president of product Dane Glasgow said in a blog post.
"In cases where the eco-friendly route could significantly increase your ETA, we'll let you compare the relative CO2 impact between routes so you can choose."
Google worked with the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Lab to build a routing system that takes into account traffic congestion and the steepness of roads to minimise fuel consumption, according to Glasgow.
Google is also going to start alerting Maps users when a travel route is heading for a low-emission zone where higher-pollution vehicles such as diesel cars are not allowed.
Those alerts will launch in June on the Maps mobile app in Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain.
Maps was also tweaked to provide users with more comprehensive views of travel options that may be more eco-friendly than driving.
And, air quality information along the way is being added to some routes displayed by Maps, launching first in Australia, India, and the United States.
Google is also working to keep people on course once inside locations such as airports, shopping malls or train stations, according to Glasgow.
A Live View feature that already augments what Maps users see when looking through smartphone camera lenses will display arrows and other tips to guide them outside is getting an inside version.
"Live View can help you find the nearest elevator and escalators, your gate, platform, baggage claim, check-in counters, ticket office, restrooms, ATMs and more," Glasgow said.
Inside Live View was added for some shopping malls in a handful of US cities and will roll out in coming months for select airports, malls, and transit stations in Tokyo and Zurich, according to Google.

Some might respond by saying these are not end time prophecies, but they are. The end times or the "last days" began at the Cross. The writer of the Hebrew letter referred to his day and time (the First Century) as the "last days." The Apostle Peter also called the time in which he was living the"last times" (1 Peter 1:5 & 20). And in the same letter he stated that "the end of all things is at hand" (1 Peter 4:7). The "end times" began 2,000 years ago. We are currently in the end of the end times, and we know this because God's Word gives us signs to watch for that will mark the end of the age.
Consider, to begin with, the most prolific futuristic prophecy in the Hebrew Scriptures – namely, that in the end times the Jewish people will be regathered in unbelief from the four corners of the earth.
Another accomplished fact is the revival of the Hebrew language from the dead. When the Jews were scattered from their homeland in the First and Second Centuries, they stopped speaking Hebrew. The Jews in Europe mixed Hebrew with German and created a new language called Yiddish. The Jews in the Mediterranean Basin mixed Hebrew with Spanish and created a language called Ladino. But the Bible prophesied that the Hebrew language would be revived in the end times (Zephaniah 3:9), and that is exactly what happened in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries through the efforts of one man – Eliezer Ben Yehuda. Today, the people of Israel speak biblical Hebrew.
Daniel was told that the end time prophecies would not be completely understood until the end time – that is, until the time comes for their fulfillment (Daniel 12:8-9). That time must be upon us for we are living in the time when ancient prophecies are being understood for the first time ever, due to historical developments and technological advances.

Welcome to VIEW
Expo Talks: What does the future hold for our stories?
Click here to navigate back to VIEW homepage
What are we if not the sum of our stories? The experiences we share and our imaginations are the very essence of what it means to be human. It's only as time passes that we can note the ways in which the transaction of tales has changed. Whether that's in how the skilled storytellers of old conjured up such elaborate images with their words that they transported listeners into worlds they could never visit. Or masterful brushstrokes that, through some alchemy of colour, communicate a world of ideas and symbolic messages on a single canvas.
Print gave our stories the power to travel at speed and the invention of the camera not only gave us a secondary reliable witness to evidence what we share but adds a necessary dimension beyond the limits of our imaginations. Today we have all experienced the world through the eyes and lens of another and yet we have never reached our capacity for stories. We do not tire of them. If anything, the more we have, the more we need.
But what of the storytellers?
When we seek to invoke the magic, we might find ourselves at something of an intersection. History is no longer fixed, and we are learning a new way of looking at our world every day through the new perspectives and truths that storytelling has brought us over recent years. Our influences are vast – the storytellers that came before us are too many to count and we all look to different places for our inspiration. The future, of course, is unwritten… but not entirely unpredictable. With this in mind, we tasked ten Canon Ambassadors to consider what the future holds for visual storytelling – and what it will mean for them and for the wider world. In the video below, they share their thoughts and ideas, which open up some important questions for the future.
Will storytelling become a dynamic force?
"The tools are changing, technology is taking over," says Canon Ambassador Muhammed Muheisen. "Social media is all over the place. It's like a train that moves so fast, and you'd better be side-by-side with it, or you will spend ten years trying to catch up." At this stage, our lives and technology are so intertwined that it almost goes without saying that most of those who tell tales and those who enjoy them will do so with tech as a familiar intermediary. Indeed, we are so driven by our desire to absorb the stories of others that we watch films on our phones, listen to podcasts on the move, raise our wrists to see push notifications of breaking news and scroll through live feeds, watching the lives of others slide easily under our fingertips. As a consumer, the tools we use are intuitive, easy, convenient. What we need is right in front of us and it is this simplicity that drives the demand for new ways of creating on the part of the storytellers. As Muhammed says, you can't stop for a second and, believes fellow Ambassador Simeon Quarrie, nor should you. He is excited by new technologies with the potential to create a less passive experience, rather than the one-way gifting of a story to others. "I think that the visual story of the future will respond to the viewer. Imagine watching a movie or a TV series. The shot and the composition remain structured, however the visuals inside the story change," he says. And if this all sounds a little Bladerunner, what if viewers can take control of how they choose to see a scene – adjusting the lighting to their taste or using the camera to create an alternative viewpoint?

Will a new kind of 'indie' win the battle for hearts and minds?
"Storytelling will, for sure, embrace a broader knowledge," says portrait photographer and Canon Ambassador, Guia Besana. "It will bring new stories with new points of views but respecting an increase in personal interpretations." Of course, this too is influenced by the access we have to the lived experiences of others. When bringing these to life, Guia believes that this will spark a new wave of free thinking in future generations that crosses divides, absorbs technologies and assumes a position of activism. It feels like something of a genre shift, driven by the audiences that are looking for stories that either reflect the world they see (in a way that perhaps has been limited before) or challenges their world view. The audiences may be smaller and the stories more plentiful, but their value, relevance and significance incalculable. As Ambassador Laura Bisgaard Krogh concludes, we should "tell stories that are really important. And in order for us to do so, everyone has to be involved."
And will 'digital fatigue' cause us to seek what we have always sought?
The TV shows that create the biggest flurries of online conversations? Well, they're often a dramatization of real-life events or a have storyline that is utterly absorbing in its humanity or newness. A perfect example might be found in the Netflix surprise hit, Squid Game, where the production values may not have been perfect, and the translation hit and miss, but audiences around the world forgave it all for a narrative that was utterly transfixing and, crucially, unlike anything they had seen before. Equally, digital photo frames did not replace the single images we choose for our walls, and we still carefully select the kinds of single shot stories that "trigger your feelings," according to Ambassador Tasneem Alsultan. For this reason, she doesn't "see prints dying anytime soon" and we will long continue to have an appetite for beautiful and meaningful printed, textural images in the places we call home.
Because stories are uniquely human. We create them to transport us, to reflect our truths, to remember and hold our memories close. They put us and our loves at the centre of life. They share beauty – and remind us of what is ugly. Stories transcend our differences and belong to everyone. Today, we are all storytellers. Tomorrow too.

Chhetri pens new deal with Bengaluru FC
Bengaluru FC, on Thursday, announced the signing of Sunil Chhetri on a one-year deal that keeps the club's top scorer with the Blues till the end of the 2016-17 season. The India and Bengaluru FC skipper spent two seasons with the I-League champions before signing with ISL team Mumbai City FC and returning to BFC on loan last season and leading the club to a second I-League crown in three seasons.
"We are pleased to announce Sunil as a BFC player in what will be his fourth season at the club. I don't think we need to be vocal about what he brings to the club and the kind of impact he has in the dressing room and outside of it. He's been a top professional and leads the team by example and we feel he has a lot more history to script with Bengaluru FC," said club COO Mustafa Ghouse.
Chhetri finished top scorer for the club for the third successive season taking his tally across all competitions in a BFC shirt to 35. His brace against Kitchee FC in the AFC Cup Round-Of-16 game in Hong Kong last month sparked a comeback from a goal down as Bengaluru carved a bit of history to make it to the quarterfinal to be played in September.
"I've always said BFC is family to me. We're doing some amazing things at this club and I'm delighted to pen this deal. We've had a brilliant season and I'm really looking forward to build on it with the team. The fans, management, staff and dressing room have all made me feel at home from the day I stepped in to Bengaluru and there's a connect with this city that is special," said Chhetri.

What is the UK's greatest football ad?
As the 2014 Fifa World Cup nears, Campaign asks: what is the greatest British football-related ad of all time?
In the UK, using football and footballers in ads allows brands to tap into a level of borrowed interest that is almost impossible to achieve with anything else. You have to wait for a royal wedding to match the commercial feeding frenzy you get with a World Cup.
But despite the plethora of brands associating themselves with football, only a handful have made great ads. And one or two — usually the ones who can afford to hire the game's biggest stars — have a near stranglehold on the very best spots.
Below is a shortlist of 12 football ads that have aired in the UK and a poll to vote for your favourite. In a bid to even the playing field, we have tried to limit the number of times a brand could appear on our long list.
The ten most popular will be included in a feature next month, where we will also reveal the winner.
What is the greatest football-related ad ever shown in the UK?
Are footballers bigger brands than the clubs that they play for?

John Andrew Hamilton, 1. Viscount Sumner GCB PC Kt (* 3. Februar 1859 in Chorlton-on-Medlock, Lancashire; † 24. Mai 1934) war ein britischer Jurist, der zuletzt als Lord of Appeal in Ordinary als Life Peer auch Mitglied des House of Lords war. 1927 wurde er ihm schließlich der erbliche Titel eines Viscount Sumner verliehen.

Leben

Rechtsanwalt und Richter
Nach dem Besuch der Manchester Grammar School absolvierte Hamilton ein Studium der Rechtswissenschaften am Balliol College der University of Oxford und erhielt 1883 seine anwaltliche Zulassung bei der Rechtsanwaltskammer (Inn of Court) von Inner Temple. Anschließend nahm er eine Tätigkeit als Barrister auf und wurde für seine anwaltlichen Verdienste 1901 zum Kronanwalt (King's Counsel) ernannt. Als Rechtsanwalt befasste er sich insbesondere mit Handelsrecht und vertrat oftmals entgegenstehende Standpunkte gegenüber dem anderen bekannten Handelsrechtsanwalt jener Zeit, Thomas Edward Scrutton. 1906 wurde er ständiger Rechtsberater der University of Oxford und am Ende dieser Tätigkeit 1909 auch sogenannter "Bencher" der Anwaltskammer von Inner Temple.

1909 wurde er Richter an der Kammer für Zivilsachen (King's Bench Division) an dem für England und Wales zuständigen  High Court of Justice und bekleidete dieses Richteramt bis 1912. Zugleich wurde er 1909 als Knight Bachelor geadelt und führte seither das Prädikat "Sir".

Nach Beendigung der Richtertätigkeit am High Court of Justice erfolgte 1912 seine Berufung zum Richter (Lord Justice of Appeal) am Court of Appeal, dem für England und Wales zuständigen Appellationsgericht, an dem er bis 1913 tätig war. Daneben wurde er 1912 auch zum Privy Councillor ernannt.

Lordrichter und Oberhausmitglied
Am 20. Oktober 1913 wurde Hamilton gemäß dem Appellate Jurisdiction Act 1876 als Baron Sumner, of Ibstone in the County of Buckingham, zum Life Peer erhoben und wurde dadurch Mitglied des House of Lords. Bis 1930 wirkte er als Lordrichter (Lord of Appeal in Ordinary). Als solcher war er 1918 sowohl Vorsitzender des Komitees für die Lebenshaltungskosten der Arbeiterklasse als auch des Komitees für britische und auswärtige Rechtsfragen. Lord Sumner gehörte auch als Mitglied der britischen Delegation bei der Reparationskommission bei der Pariser Friedenskonferenz 1919 an und wurde 1920 als Knight Grand Cross des Order of the Bath ausgezeichnet. Darüber hinaus fungierte er 1921 als Vorsitzender der Königlichen Kommission für die Wiedergutmachung von Leid und Schaden aufgrund feindlicher Handlungen (Royal Commission on Compensation for Suffering and Damage by Enemy Action) sowie 1926 als Vorsitzender des Oberhausausschusses für Fragen der sogenannten Abeyance. 1930 war er auch Schatzmeister der Anwaltskammer von Inner Temple.

Am 31. Januar 1927 wurde ihm für seine langjährigen Dienste der erbliche Titel (Hereditary Peerage) eines Viscount Sumner, of Ibstone in the County of Buckingham, verliehen. Da seine 1892 geschlossene Ehe mit Maude Margaret Todder jedoch kinderlos blieb, erlosch der Titel mit seinem Tod, so dass er der erste und einzige Viscount Sumner war.

How can I extract the "given_url" without knowing the "item_id" beforehand? (both are keys located at the top of the response).

A: Try with the following line of code:

    print data['list'].values()[0]['given_url']
except IndexError:
    print "No data"

#output:

A: You can use following code to extract all urls in case there many items under list:
urls = [x['given_url'] for x in d['list'].itervalues() if 'given_url' in x]
print urls # ['http:\\/\\/www.grantland.com\\/blog\\/thetriangle\\/post\\/_\\/id\\/38347\\/ryder-cup-preview']

Minnesota's OrthoCor Medical may have won U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for a line of heat-and-cold wraps for knee and back pain three months ago, but it's the company's knee brace system that's getting all the buzz right now.
The Active Knee System was featured on The Dr. Oz Show Wednesday in a segment on magnetic therapy for treating pain, along with BioElectronics' ActiPatch. Dr. William Pawluk, a former assistant professor at Johns Hopkins University and expert in magnetic field therapy, lauded the FDA-approved device as effective for treating knee pain because of its dual approach, using heat and electromagnetic waves to combat swelling and pain in the joint.

Woodrise 2019 provides participants with the opportunity to take part in a structured networking activity through the business-to-business (B2B) meeting platform. Managed by conference organizers, this platform will give companies with common interests a chance to meet potential partners in order to engage in discussions and assess the feasibility of sharing projects.
The B2B platform, open to companies registered to the event, gives the opportunity to create a profile to present products or services, to identify potential partners and to schedule meetings that will be held at the event.
Companies that are active in the design of building systems and products, as well as the construction of wood buildings, will have the opportunity to connect with designers, architects, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and real estate developers.
The paired groups will be invited to discuss topics such as innovative products, building systems, new technology, and more.
B2B meetings will be held in the designated area of the Exhibition Hall on October 1 and 2, during opening hour; registration will soon get under way and the detailed schedule will be announced at a later date.
I want to be registered on the B2B networking platform, available 6 to 8 weeks before the event.
* The B2B Meeting Platform is only available to delegates with a complete conference pass – regular or an exhibitor pass.


Opener Mohammad Hafeez hit 143 as Pakistan cruised to 415-4 on the second day of the first Test against Bangladesh.
Sunny, who made a seven-wicket Test debut at this venue against the West Indies in October, then trapped Misbah (20) leg-before when the batsman attempted to sweep a full-toss.
Hafeez, 74 overnight, reached his century in the morning when he drove off-spinner Mohammad Mahmudullah through the covers for a four.
Bangladesh broke the opening-wicket stand when Mahmudullah trapped Umar leg-before after the batsman had added eight runs to his overnight score of 53.
Umar's 164-ball knock contained eight fours.

Revisiting the Sunnylands Summit: Where Does the Relationship Go from Here?
Not since Nixon met Mao in '72 have the top leaders from the United States and China engaged in such extended informal discussions as they did last week at Sunnylands. On Thursday, June 13, at 5 p.m. EDT, the National Committee offered a discussion with two of the United States' most thoughtful and best informed China watchers, Ambassadors J. Stapleton Roy and Jeffrey Bader. In an on-the-record teleconference moderated by NCUSCR President Steve Orlins, the two reflected on the Summit and offered up their perspectives on where the relationship will go from here. A question and answer session followed the Ambassadors' remarks.
Audio of Teleconference:
Ambassador Roy is the director of the Kissinger Institute on China and the United States. He retired from the Foreign Service in January 2001 after a career spanning 45 years with the U.S. Department of State. A fluent Chinese speaker, Mr. Roy spent much of his Foreign Service career in East Asia, where his assignments included Bangkok (twice), Hong Kong, Taipei, Beijing (twice), Singapore, and Jakarta. He also specialized in Soviet affairs and served in Moscow at the height of the Cold War. Before taking up Russian studies, he was one of the first two Foreign Service Officers to study Mongolian. Mr. Roy rose to become a three-time ambassador, serving as the top U.S. envoy in Singapore (1984-86), the People's Republic of China (1991-95), and Indonesia (1996-99). In 1996, he was promoted to the rank of Career Ambassador, the highest rank in the Foreign Service. His final post with the State Department was as Assistant Secretary for Intelligence and Research. Ambassador Roy was born in Nanjing, China of American missionary parents. In 1956, he graduated magna cum laude from Princeton University, where he majored in history and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa.
Ambassador Bader is the John C. Whitehead Senior Fellow in International Diplomacy at the Brookings Institution. Dr. Bader returned to Brookings after serving in the Obama administration as senior director for East Asian affairs on the National Security Council from January 2009 to April 2011. Prior to his appointment to the Obama administration, Dr. Bader was the first director of the John L. Thornton China Center and senior fellow of the Foreign Policy program at Brookings. He brings to Brookings profound expertise in U.S. foreign policy and Asian security after three decades of experience in the Department of State, National Security Council, and office of the United States Trade Representative. His latest book, Obama and China's Rise: An Insider's Account of America's Asia Strategy, was published by Brookings Press in March 2012.

Have you ever wondered how Pickled Red Onion is made? Well today is your lucky day. I am not talking about just adding vinegar to the onions. I am talking about choosing the best onions, the best vinegar and the best seasoning.
Pickled Red Onion is simple to make. You may be required to buy ingredients you probably are not familiar with or probably did not even think you could actually add them to your pickled veggies. I am referring to fennel seeds and mustard seeds. These two ingredients are easier to be found in powdered form. If your local supermarket does not have them because of limited availability in products, you may have to go to another store where they sell a wider range of products, international products and natural products. As far as onions, choosing the right onions is necessary to create wonderful dishes.
Onions are the backbone to almost all savory dishes, Variety and color may affect the taste of your recipe. When buying an onion, choose one that is very firm to the touch and very fresh. It is also best to store onions in a cool, dark place.
Now let's talk about vinegar. I have used a variety of vinegar and I have found that red wine vinegar and cherry vinegar make the best pickled onions. You may want to alternate or change the recipe if you prefer, but I suggest to give this one a try first. That what I did and I still prefer it then my other versions.
This recipe for Pickled Red Onion is originally from Food and Wine and its contributor is Chef Shawn McLain. There are many recipes out there and I believe this one fits my needs and maybe yours as well.
A mixture of red wine and balsamic vinegar provides a slight bitterness taste that is overpowered by the sweetness of the honey and the savory taste of the bay leaf, fennel and mustard seeds. I have not forgotten about the spiciness or mild hot flavor that is released by the crushed red peppers. All these spices create the perfect balance that goes very well with the mild, acidic, spicy and aromatic taste of the red onions.

Throwback to Thornton's "Rainbow" Gas and Food Shop
Thursday, October 25th, 2018 12:00 AM
Show/Hide Gallery
In 1985 Thornton's re-opened the E-Z Go Gas station with a rainbow color scheme (this black and white photo leaves one to imagine). At night the store at Harlem and Jackson was said to look like a "Forest Park Rainbow."
Staff writer, Laurie Kokenes, shares a business update on the corner gas station in 1985.
Taco Bell franchise didn't last long at this Thornton's, sighting "tight quarters and a lot of traffic." The smaller, Hot Dog Extreme was less headache and the customers didn't seem to mind the change.
By Historical Society
Thornton's Food Shop and Gas Station, open 24 hours a day, was rebranded with "quality fast food, and convenience of self-serve gas" in 1985. This photo taken circa 1985, features regular gasoline for 93 cents, or premium at 97 cents, 79 cent beverages called "super guzzler" and Marlboro cigarettes for $1.23 a pack.
Thornton's added hot dogs, corn dogs, burritos, chili, soda, slushies and pastries to their store when they replaced E-Z Go in 1985. At night the store was said to "look like a rainbow," according to the store manager, Henry Smith, at the time.
In 1993 this busy Thornton's added a Taco Bell to its location. This experimental restaurant- gas station combination, was one of only 19 Thornton mini marts at the time to add a franchised restaurant into it's customer offerings. It was predicted in a 1993 Forest Park Review article that restaurant franchises opening in high volume mini marts would be a trend in the industry for several years.
The Taco Bell turned out to be "too much hassle" for this location. The chain operated just under a year, before the Tex-Mex chain was replaced with Hot Dog Extreme that served fresh hot dogs, sausage or sandwich.

Content discovery site StumbleUpon is ready for a change, according to the site's cofounder Garrett Camp.
In a Medium post, Camp said that he's becoming the majority shareholder of StumbleUpon and will take over in an advising role.
"It's time for a change, and we're ready to listen," Camp said.
The company had reportedly started laying off staff since the beginning of August. A person with knowledge of the situation told Business Insider that some employees were having their last day today.
A spokesperson from StumbleUpon did not have an official comment on the layoffs or StumbleUpon's changes. We will update if we hear back.
It's been a long and unusual path for the startup, which made its name and profits from people sharing articles that they liked and "stumbled upon" on the internet. StumbleUpon would then learn what a user liked and would show them more articles or sites that matched their interests.
Camp, Geoff Smith, and Justin LaFrance started the content website in 2001 as they were finishing up their postgraduate studies in Canada.
Camp would later go on to cofound Uber, but for a few years, the trio would split their time between building out the recommendation service for articles and finishing up their schooling.
As its user base of "Stumblers" grew, the startup raised $1.5 million in a seed round in 2005 some big name investors from Silicon Valley, including Mitch Kapor, Ram Shriram, and Ron Conway.
Business started growing for StumbleUpon as it was heralded the number one social media company by Business 2.0 magazine. Its bragging rights, according to the magazine, was that it was cashflow positive.
With 2.3 million users, StumbleUpon sold to eBay in 2007 in a flashy $75 million deal, a quick exit after raising its seed round just two years earlier.
That wasn't the end of StumbleUpon's story.
Camp and Smith reportedly felt stifled with the company's integration into eBay, and the two bought the company back in 2009 for a reported $29 million.
Out of eBay's clutches, the site returned to its nimble background and started boasting big numbers with Camp as CEO. It was adding 700,000 new users each month in 2010, and was up to 12 million users.
Camp preached grandiose visions of the company to match its metrics. He wanted StumbleUpon to become the "I don't know what I want" button on your TV or phone. Advertisers were buying into it as they clamored to crack into local markets, and StumbleUpon was positioned to know what people liked.
With momentum and headlines on its side, the company raised $17 million in a series B round in 2011. It hasn't announced another round since.
By 2012, StumbleUpon started facing new competition as competitors like Pinterest were taking off.
A moment of triumph came when the site hit the 25 million user mark in April 2012, but then Camp stepped down as CEO a month later.
Mark Bartels, who took over as CEO, later acknowledged to TechCrunch that its user growth had "softened" in the first half of 2012. A redesign didn't help and plunged traffic to the site after users complained it looked too much like Pinterest.
The company tried to reroute itself to profitability in 2013. Bartels laid off 30 percent of the staff, although he said at the time that it was still in a "healthy financial state" and attracting lots of advertisers.
StumbleUpon, though, has failed to secure any more funding while Pinterest has gone on to become a "unicorn" tech startup, valued at more than $11 billion.
After failing to bring in more funding last month, the layoffs reportedly continued as the company reduced its staff down to 30 people.
Camp's notice says that he's becoming majority shareholder and working on "exploring potential synergies between SU and Expa" (his incubator). Perhaps the company is ready for one last fight.


mystery – Dutch goes the Photo!
Here comes the tenth mystery location post of this year….
This photo comes from one of my trips that I make for work, which may give a hint to frequent readers. The sentiment in this image is somewhat uplifting, although I find the message and graphics not in sync.
Where would I have found this?
Here comes a seventh mystery slide post of this year….
For extra bonus…try to pinpoint the year that this slide was taken! I'm looking to see how the car aficionados do with this!
Awesome woods and a peak!
Here comes a sixth mystery slide post of this year….
This week, we're doing another entry from the wonderful collection of slides that I received from my father-in-law. This time, I do know exactly where this location is, as I have been there myself as well.
Here comes a fifth mystery slide post of this year….
This week's entry comes from the boxes of slides that I received from my father-in-law. For full disclosure…I'm not 100% sure where the mystery location is, but I think that I know it… Based on the slide, I think the image was captured in the early 1960s.
Box E – Image 124…where are we?
It appears to me that there are some old fortifications in this image. Where do you think this might be?


Fusarium solani f.sp. cucurbitae causes foot, root, stem, and fruit rot of cucurbits. At least two races are known, one of which attacks only the fruit (Race 2) whereas Race 1 can attack the root, foot, stem, and fruit. This disease tends to be most serious on squash and pumpkin but other cucurbits are also susceptible. Although it is not a common disease, it has been found in Maine and it can cause significant crop loss.
There is no clear indication of the environmental conditions which are necessary for this disease. The plant can be attacked at any time following seed germination. Conditions which discourage rapid germination and growth, such as cool wet soil, are likely to favor the disease. It is also suggested that Fusarium may follow other injuries such as fertilizer injury or drought.
Early symptoms may appear as a damping-off where young plants fall over and die. As the season progresses the disease may be expressed as stunting and sudden wilting may occur during hot dry weather because the rotting stem cannot transport sufficient water to the plant. The disease appears as a distinct brown decay at the base of the plant at the soil line. During wet weather the decay may turn soft and mushy and extend up the plant but dry weather may mask the infection as the decay remains below the soil. A white to pinkish growth may be evident when sufficient water is available.
Fruit may also be infected and the infection usually begins on the soil side. Fruit infections appear circular although multiple infections may merge and obscure concentric patterns. Fusarium fruit rot is usually firm and dry although secondary organisms may invade and cause a wet rot.
This fungus is soil-borne but it can also be carried by the seed. Seed transmission rates of 100% are possible. The fungus can survive up to three years in the soil or the seed. Spores of the fungus are produced on the infected plant material and can be transported by rain splash, running water, cultivation, and any other practice which transports soil around the field. The heaviest concentrations tend to be where infected plants were previously grown.
Effective control of this disease relies on elimination of the fungus. This means using clean seed which is planted in uninfested soil. A three year rotation is probably sufficient to control the disease but a four year rotation may be advisable where problems have been severe. Hot water treatment of the seeds can help to clean them up (132°F for 15 min.) although reduced seed viability should be expected. In the greenhouse, sterile soil should be used. There are no resistant varieties available and there are no effective fungicides.

If March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb, the opposite could be said for October. Every year the month starts with the heat of September's Indian summer and ends with a cool, windy Halloween. It's the official summer to fall transition. And while it's an exciting and scenic time, on most days the weather fluctuates from cold mornings to a warm afternoon and back down again to an evening chill.
As women on the go, October's schizophrenic weather may leave you wondering what to wear for full days of nippy morning commutes, workwear and happy hours. Don't fret. As always, Mynters, we've got you covered. Check out our Fall Transition Shopping List, which includes the pieces you need to changeover your wardrobe with the season.
Blazers are basically your BFF right now. They can be worn over any look, including dresses, button down shirts and sweaters while adding an extra layer of warmth. It's also the best way to extend the life of your favorite summer dress. Try layering the Open Front Blazer over a comfy cardigan. When the warmer afternoon weather hits, slip it off until the cooler nighttime temperature returns.
Some colors simply translate between seasons better than others. When you invest in a great jacket in a basic color, it suddenly becomes season-less. Opt for shades of gray, tan and of course black. Our pick is the Knit Jacket With Lace Detail, which adds a sleek fall look in a lighter summer color.
Now is the time to start covering up your gams and going for tights with dresses and skirts. Instead of mourning this transition, we say embrace it with patterned or colorful tights. The key in getting this look right is to pair embellished stockings with a simpler bottom or dress. Try pairing the Curved Seam Fit And Flare Dress or Fit And Flare Skirt with wild patterns or colors.
Now that your shorts are stored away until next summer, turn to leggings for your go-to casual look. The reason you'll live in them is because they look great with basic tees, and any type of jacket while also being super comfortable. Reach for a tailored pair in a lux fabric, like our Coated Seamed Legging.

Python is an interpreted, high-level, general-purpose programming language. Created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability, notably using significant whitespace. It provides constructs that enable clear programming on both small and large scales. Van Rossum led the language community until stepping down as leader in July 2018.
Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. It supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, functional and procedural, and has a large and comprehensive standard library.
Python interpreters are available for many operating systems. CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is open source software and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of Python's other implementations. Python and CPython are managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation.
Python is a multi-paradigm programming language. Object-oriented programming and structured programming are fully supported, and many of its features support functional programming and aspect-oriented programming (including by metaprogramming and metaobjects (magic methods)). Many other paradigms are supported via extensions, including design by contract and logic programming.
Python uses dynamic typing, and a combination of reference counting and a cycle-detecting garbage collector for memory management. It also features dynamic name resolution (late binding), which binds method and variable names during program execution.
Python's design offers some support for functional programming in the Lisp tradition. It has filter(), map(), and reduce() functions; list comprehensions, dictionaries, and sets; and generator expressions. The standard library has two modules (itertools and functools) that implement functional tools borrowed from Haskell and Standard ML.
The language's core philosophy is summarized in the document The Zen of Python (PEP 20), which includes aphorisms such as:
Beautiful is better than ugly
Explicit is better than implicit
Simple is better than complex
Complex is better than complicated
Readability counts
Rather than having all of its functionality built into its core, Python was designed to be highly extensible. This compact modularity has made it particularly popular as a means of adding programmable interfaces to existing applications. Van Rossum's vision of a small core language with a large standard library and easily extensible interpreter stemmed from his frustrations with ABC, which espoused the opposite approach.
While offering choice in coding methodology, the Python philosophy rejects exuberant syntax (such as that of Perl) in favor of a simpler, less-cluttered grammar. As Alex Martelli put it: "To describe something as 'clever' is not considered a compliment in the Python culture." Python's philosophy rejects the Perl "there is more than one way to do it" approach to language design in favor of "there should be one—and preferably only one—obvious way to do it".
Python's developers strive to avoid premature optimization, and reject patches to non-critical parts of the CPython reference implementation that would offer marginal increases in speed at the cost of clarity. When speed is important, a Python programmer can move time-critical functions to extension modules written in languages such as C, or use PyPy, a just-in-time compiler. Cython is also available, which translates a Python script into C and makes direct C-level API calls into the Python interpreter.
An important goal of Python's developers is keeping it fun to use. This is reflected in the language's name — a tribute to the British comedy group Monty Python — and in occasionally playful approaches to tutorials and reference materials, such as examples that refer to spam and eggs (from a famous Monty Python sketch) instead of the standard foo and bar.
A common neologism in the Python community is pythonic, which can have a wide range of meanings related to program style. To say that code is pythonic is to say that it uses Python idioms well, that it is natural or shows fluency in the language, that it conforms with Python's minimalist philosophy and emphasis on readability. In contrast, code that is difficult to understand or reads like a rough transcription from another programming language is called unpythonic.

Le sartù di riso, plat typique de la cuisine napolitaine, est un pâté en croûte en forme de cône contenant du riz garni de sauce à la viande, des pois, du bacon, des champignons, de la mozzarella ou du provolone, des boulettes de viande, des saucisses, des œufs durs et, traditionnellement, des foies de poulet. Tout est cuit puis démoulé avant d'être servi.

Histoire

Le riz, produit importé par les Aragonais dans le royaume de Naples, n'a pas connu de succès dans le sud de l'Italie sauf en Sicile où il a été introduit par les Arabes. Il a été adopté par l'école de médecine de Salerne et prescrit comme remède pour les malades, alors que la population lui préférait les pâtes.

Le sartù est probablement né de la nécessité d'adapter ce plat au goût de la cour, sous l'influence de la reine Marie-Caroline d'Autriche. Les monsù, cuisiniers de la cour française, ont créé ce plat au , enrichissant le riz de nombreux ingrédients et masquant la saveur avec de la sauce tomate.

Le nom du plat viendrait du mot français « réserve », lui-même associé à une pièce d'argenterie nommée « épergne »  qui était en usage au  pour amener à table des plats tels que le sartù ou le timballo.

Aujourd'hui le sartù di riso est un plat festif connaissant  de nombreuses variantes, et chaque famille a la sienne. S'il fut d'abord un plat réservé aux riches (à cause de la présence de viande) avec le temps il est devenu un plat traditionnel. Ce plat peut être dégusté comme un plat unique, mais est aussi du plus bel effet les jours de fêtes.
