The law imposes high duties, referred to as fiduciary duties, on parties in certain relationships such as officers and directors of corporations, trustees, partners, members of joint ventures, professionals and their clients, and agents. These fiduciary duties include duties not to compete, not to engage in self-dealing, to inform the person or entity to which the duty is owed about information relevant to the relationship and, generally, to exercise the highest level of honesty and fairness in dealing with the person or entity to which the duty is owed. The finding that a person stands in the role of a fiduciary has significant consequences in that it shifts the burden to the fiduciary to prove that he or she dealt fairly.

After Honor 7C, the Chinese smartphone maker Huawei is going to launch its successor Honor 8C in India this November. Read on to know its specs and key features.
After the release of Redmi Note 6 Pro in India, another Chinese phone maker Huawei is ready to launch the next smartphone of its Honor sub-brand. Just six months back (May 2018), Huawei launched Honor 7C in India, and now the company is ready with its successor Honor 8C. The Honor 8C will be available exclusively on Amazon.in from November 29, which has created a special page for this phone as well. This phone is already available in China since last month.
The Honor 8C is expected to come with a dual rear camera in the form of vertically stacked pair with a 13MP and 2MP sensors. It has a 19:9 aspect ratio in a 6.26-inch HD+ display. The phone is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 SoC. It has a notch at the top like iPhone X.
The phone has a single camera of 8 MP in the front. It comes in two options- 32 and 64 GB ROM. Both the variants have 4GB RAM. With a microSD card, it is possible to extend the memory up to 256 GB. The massive 4000 mAh battery will never let your phone down!
Though its price in India is not out yet, we can expect that both 32GB and 64GB variants will cost around INR 11,200 and 14,200 in line with their prices in China as CNY 1,099 and CNY 1,399 respectively.
What could be its price in India? Any guesses? Do let us know through comments.

Now, as a famous ethnologist and 'youkai buster' on the side, along with Youko and Haruka, Kan-chan works to exorcise various youkai and oni that cause people trouble. However, as Haruka's sealed past catches up with them all, it will take more than a few exorcised demons to get them through these troubled times.

\section{Introduction}
We have searched for the decay
$\phi\rightarrow K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma$ with the KLOE experiment at DA$\Phi$NE. This
decay has never been observed. In the decay the $K^0\overline{K}^0$
pair is produced with quantum numbers $J^{PC}=0^{++}$
, so that the two-kaon state is symmetric, and can be written in terms of $K_S, K_L$ as
\begin{equation}
|K^0\overline{K}^0>={{|K_SK_S>-|K_LK_L>}\over{\sqrt{2}}} .
\label{stato}
\end{equation}

The $K^0\overline{K}^0$ state can be in both singlet and triplet isospin state, so that the decay proceeds mainly via intermediate $f_0$(980) ($I$=0) and $a_0$(980) ($I$=1) scalar mesons,
\begin{equation}
\phi\rightarrow ({\rm f_0(980)+a_0(980)})\gamma\rightarrow K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma .
\label{scheme}
\end{equation}

Thus, a measurement of the $\phi\rightarrow K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma$ branching ratio (BR) can give information on the structure of light scalar mesons. The evaluation of the branching ratio depends on the
way the scalar field dynamics is introduced and on the size of the couplings of the scalar mesons to the kaons. Moreover, interference between the f$_0$ and a$_0$ amplitudes may also contribute to the $\phi\rightarrow K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma$ decay amplitude. Predictions found in literature are mainly based on the decay scheme (\ref{scheme}), and give values
ranging over a large interval, from few $\times 10^{-9}$ to $10^{-7}$ ~\cite{Achasov1,Fajfer,Lucio,Bramon2,Oller1,Achasov2,Nussinov,Oller2,Escribano,Gokalp}. In this respect, a similar decay into charged kaons, $\phi \to K^+K^-\gamma$, gives less information since the scalar dynamics is masked by the final state radiation.

The signature of the radiative decay of the $\phi$ meson into the state (\ref{stato}) is the presence of either two
$K_S$ or two $K_L$ (and a low energy photon).
$KK$ invariant mass is limited
by the $\phi$ mass (1020 MeV) and
by twice the kaon mass
(995 MeV).
The photon energy is a function of the invariant di-kaon mass $M_{KK}$ and is
given by
\begin{equation}
E_{\gamma}={{m^2_{\phi}-M_{KK}^2}\over{2m_{\phi}}}
\label{maxene}
\end{equation}
We search for final states with a $K_SK_S$ pair, with both $K_S$ decaying to $\pi^+\pi^-$. This corresponds to a reduction of the observable
rate of
\begin{equation}
{{1}\over{2}}\times [BR(K_S\rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-)]^2 \sim 2/9 ,
\end{equation}
where the factor $1/2$ accounts for the choice of the $K_SK_S$ final state
among the two possibilities for the $K^0\overline{K}^0$ state.
We search for two decay
vertices very close to the $e^+e^-$ interaction region, both having two tracks with opposite charge and
invariant mass of the charged secondaries equal to the kaon mass. The invariant mass of the kaon pair must be smaller than the $\phi$ mass. A low energy photon must be detected with a momentum compatible with the kinematics of  the event.
\par The expected photon energy spectrum ($E_{\gamma}$) is shown in fig.~\ref{spectrum}, corresponding to a $K_SK_S$ invariant mass ($M_{KK}$) spectrum generated assuming only
phase-space and radiative decay dynamics:

\begin{equation}
\frac{d\Gamma}{dM_{KK}}\propto \left({{m^2_{\phi}-M_{KK}^2}\over{2m_{\phi}}}\right)^3
\sqrt{1- \frac{4m^2_{K0}}{M_{KK}^2}} .
\label{spect_gen}
\end{equation}

The highest rate is expected for events with photon energy close to the maximum value (see eq.~\ref{maxene}). The selection criteria have been optimized in order to maximize the sensitivity to the searched signal~\cite{feldcous}.

\section{The KLOE experiment}
DA$\Phi$NE is an $e^+ e^-$ collider
running at a centre-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}$ = m$_\phi$ = 1.02 GeV. The beams collide with a crossing angle of ($\pi$ - 0.025) rad which gives a $\phi$ meson momentum of $\sim$15 MeV (12 MeV for a small part of the dataset) towards the collider centre. The KLOE detector consists of a large-volume cylindrical
drift chamber~\cite{dc} (3.3 m length and 2 m radius), operated
with a 90\% helium - 10\% isobutane gas mixture, surrounded by
a sampling calorimeter~\cite{emc} made of lead and scintillating fibers
providing a solid angle coverage of 98\%. The tracking
chamber and the calorimeter are surrounded by a superconducting
coil that provides an (approximately) axial magnetic field B = 0.52 T, the axis being the bisector of the external angle of the $e^+$ and $e^-$ beams. The
drift chamber has a momentum resolution $\sigma (p_\bot)/p_\bot \sim$ 0.4\%. Photon energies and arrival times are measured in the
calorimeter with resolutions $\sigma_E/E$ = 5.7\%$/\sqrt{E}$(GeV) and
$\sigma_t$ = 57 ps$/\sqrt{E}$(GeV) $\bigoplus$ 100 ps. The trigger~\cite{trigger} is based on
the detection of at least two energy deposits in the calorimeter
above a threshold that ranges between 50 and 150 MeV.

For this search the full data sample acquired at the $\phi$-peak energy by the KLOE experiment between years 2001 and 2005 has been used. After quality selection, a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 2.18 fb$^{-1}$ is available for the present analysis. The luminosity is measured with an error of less than 1\% by counting large-angle Bhabha scattering events~\cite{lumbha}.

The KLOE Monte Carlo simulation (MC) package, GEANFI~\cite{OFFLINE}, has been used to provide high-statistics
samples. The total number of events in each
sample is generated with an integrated luminosity scale factor (LF) defined as LF~=~integrated luminosity (MC generation)/integrated luminosity (data). This scale factor is different
 for different $\phi$ decay modes and different data taking periods.
  All $\phi$ decays have been simulated with LF=1 or 2, {\it CP}-violating rare decays, such as $K_S K_L \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-$, have been simulated with LF=10 and 20.
DA$\Phi$NE operating conditions during data taking,
 machine parameters and background are adjusted in the MC on a
run-by-run basis.

Simulations of all $\phi$ decays and {\it CP}-violating rare decays have been used
to evaluate sources of background mimicking $\phi\rightarrow K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma$ decays. The initial-state radiation (ISR) process $e^+e^-\rightarrow \gamma K^0\overline{K}^0$  is taken into account in all the simulations.
A further possible background source
 is the continuum production of charged
pions through the process $e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-(\gamma)$.
 A pure
phase-space generation with LF=10
has been used to simulate this kind of events.
The
measured cross section of this
process in the $\phi$ region~\cite{4pcmd2} has been used to
normalize MC to data.

To simulate the signal we generated a MC sample of
$10^4$ $\phi \to K_SK_S\gamma\to\pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$ events, developing a modified version of the PHOKHARA5 generator~\cite{rodrigo}. Phokhara is a Monte Carlo event generator which simulates the electron-positron annihilation into hadrons plus an energetic photon from initial state radiation (ISR) process, at the next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy. This simulation relies on general assumptions for the branching ratio dependence on the photon energy and on phase space, according to eq.~\ref{spect_gen}.

\section{Data analysis}

We search for $K_SK_S\gamma$ events by requiring two pairs of tracks with opposite charge, each pair originating from a vertex contained inside a cylindrical volume centered on the interaction point and the beam line, 16 cm long in z and of 3 cm radius.
We reconstruct the invariant masses $m_1$ and $m_2$, for each pair of tracks, using the pion mass hypothesis. The distribution of signal events in the plane $m_1$, $m_2$ is well contained inside a circle of a few MeV radius centered on the $K_S$ mass. We
require the events to satisfy a 4 MeV cut on this radius.

  \begin{center}

Selection cuts are shown. Background MC samples are normalized to data taking into account the different LF values
}
   \label{fig:sidebox}
\end{figure}

Once the two $K_S$ mesons are identified, we build the invariant mass of the $K_S$ pair, $M_{KK}$. In order to reject background from $\phi \to K_SK_L \to \pi^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \pi^-$ events, we retain only those events with $K_SK_S$ invariant mass below 1010 MeV.
Moreover, in order to reject badly reconstructed $K_S$ semileptonic decays, which could mimic a two-pion decay, we define the missing mass $m_\gamma$  using four-momentum conservation:
\begin{equation}
m_\gamma^2 = (P_\phi - P_{K_{S1}} - P_{K_{S2}})^2 ,
\end{equation}
where $P_\phi$, $P_{K_{S1}}$ and $P_{K_{S2}}$ are the 4-vectors of the $\phi$ and of the two reconstructed $K_S$. This variable must be zero in case of two $K_{S,L}$ to $\pi^+ \pi^-$ decays, even with an extra photon, and is required to be zero within $\pm$500 MeV$^2$.
Figure \ref{fig:sidebox} shows the distribution of signal simulation, data and background simulation for  $M_{KK}$ and $M_\gamma^2$ . Ninety five events survive these cuts.

\begin{figure}
  \begin{center}

   \mbox{\epsfig{figure=omega_dic08_art.ps,width=0.44\textwidth,clip=,bbllx=50pt,bblly=210pt,bburx=550pt,bbury=700pt}}

   \label{fig:tetafot}
\end{figure}

We then look for the radiative photon, by searching for a calorimeter cluster, without any associated track.
The cluster must be in time with the observed event, and its position in the calorimeter must be compatible with the direction of the missing momentum. The angle $\Omega$ between the missing momentum and the photon direction, derived
from the cluster position, is required to be below 0.6 rad. Figure \ref{fig:tetafot} shows the $\Omega$ distributions for data and MC simulations.

 We verified the correct simulation of low-energy clusters in the MC using the $\phi \to \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ control sample: a time resolution of 520 ps is achieved for low energy clusters in both data and MC simulation, well reproduced by MC signal simulation.

After the selection, 33 events are present in the non-rescaled MC samples for CP-violating rare decays and $e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-(\gamma)$ decays. No event is present in the MC sample for all $\phi$ decays. The overall efficiency for the signal is (24.8$\pm$0.5)\%, evaluated from signal simulation. The efficiency is shown in fig.~\ref{fig:effi_vs_mkk} as a function of $M_{KK}$
The evaluation of this efficiency can vary depending on the scalar field dynamics and the size of couplings used for the signal simulation.
To study this effect the kaon-loop approach~\cite{Achasov2} has been used,
varying the couplings $g_{SKK}$, with S=$f_{0},a_{0}$ in ranges larger than the present spread
of experimental measurements and theoretical evaluations. Signal efficiency has been recalculated throughout this range and compared with the one used in the analysis: the variation is within the statistical error.

\vspace{-2.cm}
  \caption{\small Signal detection efficiency as a function of $M_{KK}$ in the allowed range.}
   \label{fig:effi_vs_mkk}
\end{figure}

To normalize MC distributions to data we have estimated effective scale factors, one for each MC sample, fitting the MC distributions for M$_{KK}$ and $m_{\gamma}^2$ to the corresponding data distributions. The results of the fits are shown in fig.~\ref{fig:fits}. For this purpose we used a control sample made of events surviving all the selection requirements, except the M$_{KK}$ and $m_{\gamma}^2$ cuts. For the simulation of all $\phi$ decays, the scale factor obtained from the fit is equal to $0.47\pm0.04$,
while the MC scale factor for CP-violating rare decays and $e^+e^- \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^+\pi^-(\gamma)$ decays is $0.096\pm0.015$. These factors differ from the LF scale factors by at most 15\% and are in agreement within errors. Rescaled background events are listed in tab.~\ref{tab2}.

The expected number of background events, once scale factors obtained from fits are applied, is 3.2$\pm$0.7 ; the error is the combination of the statistical error and the systematic error due to the fit. The number of residual events in the data sample is five. These numbers will be used for the upper limit evaluation.

\section{Result}
The upper limit on BR($\phi\to K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma$)
is evaluated as follows:
\begin{equation}
BR < \frac{S_{\rm{90CL}}}{\int{L dt}\times\sigma(e^+e^-\to \phi)\times1/2\times(BR(K_S\to\pi^+\pi^-))^2\times\epsilon} .
\end{equation}
$\int{L dt}$ is the integrated luminosity, 2.18 fb$^{-1}$.
$\sigma(e^+e^-\to \phi)$ is the cross section for $\phi$ production from
$e^+e^-$
annihilation, equal to 3.09 $\mu$
; this is evaluated from the fit to the visible cross section for the process $\phi \to \eta \gamma$ with the data taken around the $\phi$ peak, with a fractional error of 2.4\%.
 $BR(K_S\to\pi^+\pi^-)$ is taken as 0.692~\cite{pdg2006}.
The signal efficiency $\epsilon$ is $(24.8\pm0.5)\%$.
The upper limit on the number of events at 90\% CL, $S_{\rm{90CL}}$, is
calculated using the so-called
``unified approach'
~\cite{feldcous}, using the number of residual data events, and the residual background events reduced by 1$\sigma$ to take into account the systematic error on the background evaluation in a conservative way;

 we get $S_{\rm{90CL}}$ = 7.49.
Our result for the upper limit is:
\begin{equation}
BR(\phi \to K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma) < 1.9 \times 10^{-8} .
\end{equation}

This is the only existing experimental result for this branching ratio. In fig.~\ref{fig:br_excluded} the upper limit is compared with theoretical predictions~\cite{Achasov1,Fajfer,Lucio,Bramon2,Oller1,Achasov2,Nussinov,Oller2,Escribano,Gokalp}.
Ref.~\cite{Achasov1} is based on the scalar kaon-loop model: in fig.~\ref{fig:br_excluded} $2q$ and $4q$ indicate the prediction for a scalar $q\bar{q}$ structure or a tetraquark structure respectively;
Ref.~\cite{Fajfer} describes this decay with a low-energy effective lagrangian.
Ref.~\cite{Lucio} only takes into account the $f_0$ contribution, without considering the $a_0$, which explains the large BR value; the authors criticize the result of ref.~\cite{Nussinov}.
Ref.~\cite{Bramon2} makes use of a chiral perturbation lagrangian which does not include explicitly the scalar mesons in the intermediate state.
Ref.~\cite{Oller1,Oller2} calculates this BR through unitarized chiral perturbation theory based on resonant and non-resonant $\phi \to (f_0+a_0)$ coupling.
In ref.~\cite{Achasov2} the couplings of the kaon-loop model are evaluated by using the SND experiment data~\cite{achadata}.
Ref.~\cite{Escribano} introduces a well-defined $U(3) \times U(3)$ chiral model which incorporates {\it ab initio} the
pseudoscalar and scalar mesons nonets.
Ref.~\cite{Gokalp} repeats the calculation of ref.~\cite{Achasov2} using the first published KLOE data~\cite{pl1,pl2}, with and without the $\sigma$(600) contribution, and gives a large set of values.

Following the kaon-loop model~\cite{Achasov2} we have evaluated predictions for $BR(\phi\to K^0\overline{K}^0\gamma)$ based on the $g_{f0KK}$, $g_{f0\pi\pi}$ and $g_{a0KK}$ couplings obtained by KLOE~\cite{pl1,pl2,pl3} by fitting the data of $\phi$ decays into $\pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$, $\pi^0 \pi^0 \gamma$ and $\eta \pi \gamma$.
Allowing for variations of the couplings within the corresponding errors, the predicted BRs vary between 0.4$\times 10^{-8}$ and 6.8$\times 10^{-8}$, the lower values being still compatible with the present upper limit.

Acuna Hits Leadoff HR, Braves Edge Bucs 2-1 For 3-Game Sweep
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Jonny Venters thought he had given up a tying home run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning.
Atlanta Braves' Ronald Acuna Jr. (13) celebrates with Freddie Freeman after hitting a solo home run against the Pittsburgh Pirates during the first inning of a baseball game Wednesday, Aug. 22, 2018, in Pittsburgh. (AP Photo/Keith Srakocic)
"It sounded loud," the Atlanta Braves' reliever said. "I thought it was gone."
Gregory Polanco's drive to right field hit off the top of the 21-foot wall, however, and he was held to a double.
Venters then got Francisco Cervelli to hit a game-ending comebacker, preserving Atlanta's 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night.
Ronald Acuna Jr. hit another leadoff home run and Freddie Freeman had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in the eighth inning to lift Julio Teheran and the Braves to a three-game sweep.
Polanco was disappointed his drive did not clear the high wall.
"It's unbelievable, man," he said. "I hit the ball really hard. It's PNC (Park), man. Every other park, that's a homer."
Acuna hit the fifth pitch out to left-center off Trevor Williams. It was the rookie's 20th homer and sixth leading off the first inning, including four in the last two weeks.
"He's so exciting," Teheran said. "You expect him to hit a long ball every time he comes up."
The NL East leaders went ahead 2-1 in the eighth when Freeman, who leads the league in hitting, sent a fly ball to deep left field off Edgar Santana. That came after Atlanta loaded the bases against Kyle Crick (2-2), who did not retire any of the three batters he faced.
"You'd love to score five or six runs every night, but that's not always going to happen," Freeman said. "These are the types of games you have to win in a pennant race. It's a really good win for us."
Atlanta moved three games ahead of the second-place Phillies, who lost 8-7 at Washington.
Freeman's sac fly made a winner of Teheran (9-7), who allowed one run and two hits in seven innings while striking out five and walking one. Teheran is 2-0 with a 2.93 ERA in his last five starts.
Brad Brach struck out pinch-hitter David Freese with a runner on third to end the eighth. Venters completed the three-hitter and earned his second save.
Atlanta also mustered only three hits but won for the 17th time in 25 games.
It was seven years to the day since Venters converted his last save for the Braves on Aug. 22, 2011, at the Chicago Cubs. The left-hander missed five major league seasons from 2013-17 while recovering from three Tommy John operations. He returned this year with the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Braves acquired Venters in a July trade and he got his first opportunity to fill in for injured closer A.J. Minter (lower back tightness) on Wednesday.
"I told Jonny I might be using him in some save situations and he was ready," Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
The Pirates got their run in the fifth when Colin Moran broke up Teheran's no-hit bid with a two-out RBI single. Pittsburgh's only other hit was a two-out single by Cervelli.
The Pirates have scored just 16 runs in their last 10 games, going 2-8.
Williams had another strong outing, permitting one run and two hits in six innings, but again was hurt by a lack of run support. Williams' ERA is 0.97 ERA in six starts since the All-Star break, yet his record is just 3-2. He is also 1-2 in four August starts despite a 1.44 ERA.
"He's pitched so well, and he pitched so well again tonight," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "It was just fun to watch him out there like a kid in the backyard going to work."
Braves: C Kurt Suzuki (bruised left triceps) was out of the lineup after being hit by a pitch but is not expected to go on the disabled list. C Chris Stewart was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to serve as a backup, and OF Michael Reed was optioned to the Stripers.
Pirates: RHP Chris Archer (left leg discomfort) is listed as the scheduled starter Sunday at Milwaukee. He left his start Monday night against Atlanta after four innings. … 2B Josh Harrison (strained left hamstring) did not start for a third straight game but struck out as a pinch-hitter. … INF-OF Sean Rodriguez (strained left abdominal muscle) is likely to begin a rehab assignment in the next few days. … SS Jordy Mercer (strained left calf) took batting and fielding practice. … INF Jung Ho Kang (left wrist surgery), on the disabled list at Triple-A Indianapolis, has been cleared to begin gripping exercises.
TRICK SHOT ARTIST
Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies hit a foul ball in the seventh inning that rebounded off the netting behind home plate and struck him on top of his batting helmet.
TURN BACK THE CLOCK
The Braves announced their weeknight and Sunday afternoon home games will begin 15 minutes earlier next season at 7:20 p.m. and 1:20 p.m., respectively.
Braves: Open a four-game series Thursday night at Miami, with LHP Sean Newcomb (10-6, 3.73 ERA) facing RHP Dan Straily (4-6, 4.60).
Pirates: Begin a three-game series Friday night at Milwaukee, with RHP Joe Musgrove (5-7, 3.31 ERA) starting against LHP Wade Miley (2-2, 2.18).

Covesville Child Development Center
5527 Covesville Lane
Covesville, VA 22931
Current Inspector: Chrystal King (804) 297-4469
Inspection Date: March 17, 2021
This inspection was conducted by licensing staff using an alternate remote protocol, necessary due to a state of emergency health pandemic declared by the Governor of Virginia.
A subsidy health and safety inspection was initiated on March 17, 2021 and concluded on March 24, 2021. The director was contacted by telephone to initiate the inspection. There were seventeen children present and four staff. A licensing inspection was conducted on the same date as the SHSI supplemental inspection. Both inspections combined cover subsidy health and safety regulations. Only subsidy regulations that are not covered in licensing standards are reviewed during this supplemental inspection.
The information gathered during the inspection determined no violations with applicable subsidy regulations. No violations were issued.


About five minutes into the second period of a scoreless game, Boston College men's hockey defenseman Jesper Mattila's powerful shot clanged off the crossbar. While he did not find the back of the net, it seemed inevitable that BC would soon pull ahead on the scoreboard. After all, the Eagles had outshot visiting Bentley to that point, 14-4, and were the better side thus far.
Yet when BC's J.D. Dudek was called for slashing around the six-minute mark, Bentley's Tanner Jago struck first on the advantage, burying a deflection after a shot from the point. Still, one would assume that the Eagles would have no issue asserting their dominance and coming back from a small deficit against a team that hadn't had a winning season since 2014-15.
Unfortunately for BC, Friday's contest had no happy ending. The Eagles fell in their first all-time meeting with the Falcons, 4-2, adding an embarrassing chapter to a season that has been defined by forgettable moments.
The first 20 minutes were controlled by the Eagles (3-6-1, 3-1-1 Hockey East). Within the first 60 seconds of the contest, BC went on the power play and generated a few great scoring chances involving star freshman Oliver Wahlstrom, who in the days prior was linked with swirling rumors of a possible departure. Although the Eagles continued to create offensive opportunities throughout the period, their best effort came on the power play once again. Junior forward Julius Mattila narrowly missed the goal off a rebound, one of five shots generated to no avail on BC's two power plays.
The second period was a completely different story—as much as BC dominated the first 20 minutes of action, Bentley (4-7-1, 3-5-1 Atlantic Hockey) commanded the second. The Falcons started the scoring with Jago, then quickly doubled their lead on the power play once more.
Eight seconds after Luke McInnis went to the box for roughing just before the final minute of the period, Will Garin slid a wrist shot past BC netminder Joseph Woll. It was an impressive effort from Garin, as his initial attempt was blocked, but he alertly raced to put away his own rebound. The consecutive power-play goals were rare missteps from the Eagles penalty kill, a unit which entered having killed off 18-of-19 penalties during the team's four-game unbeaten run. Bentley also outshot BC, 13-4, in the period, as the Eagles were never able to find a rhythm.
To compound BC's issues on its home ice, the Falcons added a decisive third scoring play, just three minutes into the final period. Matt Lombardozzi picked up his first career goal, intercepting an attempted Eagles clearance and one-timing a shot from the left wing through a screen and past Woll.
Likely embarrassed by the poor showing, Jerry York's team started to put together a comeback effort. In similar fashion to the draw against New Hampshire last week, when BC erased a two-goal deficit in the third period to salvage a point, the Eagles clawed back. While on the power play, David Cotton opened the scoring with his team-high 10th goal halfway through the final period, tipping a hard one-timer from Michael Kim into the top of the net.
Momentum in hand, BC began to pepper Bentley goaltender Aidan Pelino, who would finish with 23 saves in the win. Pelino was able to turn away shots from both Mattila brothers before denying Cotton twice. York pulled Woll with three minutes to go, and the extra attacker paid off. With just under two minutes to play, Casey Fitzgerald's hard shot from the left side skipped wide and off the boards to Wahlstrom, who gathered the puck and buried it past Pelino from point-blank range.
Lightning didn't strike twice, though, and BC's final push was too little too late. With the puck bouncing around in the neutral zone with a minute left on the clock, Bentley's Jake Kauppila hauled it in at his own blue line and fired in an empty net goal to ice the surprising victory.
Entering Friday's tilt against Bentley, the Eagles hadn't lost in four games and were showing signs of turning it around after a program-worst 0-5 start. It appeared as if BC, even with struggles at times, was finally kicking into gear and displaying its true talent. The Eagles were carrying momentum and creating excitement for the upcoming series against their bitter rival, Boston University. Instead, BC erased all the recent goodwill it had generated and suffered its worst loss in years.
Even though Bentley has not had a winning season in four years, BC has won at least 20 games a season in each of the last nine years. Before Friday's contest, Bentley had also not picked up a single road win this year. Despite being located just nine miles west of Boston, Bentley could not possess a more different men's hockey program than BC. For a team of the Eagles' talent level—11 NHL Draft picks are on the current roster—a loss to an opponent of Bentley's stature is simply unacceptable.
Ten games into the season, it is becoming nearly impossible to be optimistic about the Eagles' future. While it would be foolish to completely dismiss York—the winningest coach of all time in college hockey—and a squad filled with talented players, more and more evidence is mounting to suggest that the Eagles might be heading to a disappointing third-consecutive year without an NCAA Tournament berth. Friday's defeat to Bentley is just another nail in the coffin.

After firing Hughes, Jackson State must get next hire right to avoid decade of irrelevancy
By Kendrick Marshall October 30, 2018 398 views
Photo: SU Athletics
Jackson State fired Tony Hughes after what can only be described as three seasons of going completely in the wrong direction for miles after the GPS lost its signal while passing through a town that has one stop light and one gas stationed owned by a dude named Roscoe.
The Tigers just didn't disappoint under Hughes at 9-20 overall. They were consistently one of the frustrating programs in the SWAC under the former Mississippi State assistant and alleged recruiting guru.
During the Hughes era, JSU was 8-11 in league play. Not terrible, but not good either.
Take the first year of the gig for example.
The Tigers started the season 0-3. They then ended the 2016 campaign on a four-game skid. Fun times, right?
Success for first-year head coaches trying to rebuild a program usually doesn't happen overnight. Hughes didn't have his guys there. He didn't have an opportunity to establish a culture. He gets a pass for that.
Then 2017 got off to a promising 0-7 start. There was even a 26-point loss to Division II Tuskegee in there. Inexplicably, though, JSU somehow finished 3-1 in the SWAC East, including a 7-3 victory over an Alcorn State team that didn't give a hoot about winning that day.
Hope.
Through the first seven games, JSU was in every game except versus Southern Miss, because in recent history JSU has been overmatched by FBS opponents.
Despite winning two of the last three games most recently, the 41-7 loss to Southern on Saturday confirmed what most close to the JSU program knew.
Hughes wasn't going to advance the group beyond its current state in the short and long-term.
But the regression of the Tigers to date is not Hughes' fault. He was never prepared for the job at in the first place.
This debacle squarely rests on the shoulders of the administration for irresponsibility allowing ego and short-sightedness to rule over practicality.
Since Rick Comegy was fired after 2013 SWAC Championship Game, JSU has gone 15-31 overall and 12-26 in conference play.
The program has compiled a 2-10 combined record against Alcorn State, Grambling, and Southern. That's how far the storied outfit has fallen. They're closer to the Texas Southerns, Alabama States and Arkansas-Pine Bluffs of the world than to the elite squads at this level.
One bad coaching hire can set a program back 8 to 10 years. JSU has made two of them in the last five years.
If athletic director Ashley Robinson and Co. do not get this next hire right, Jackson State faces the prospect of going a decade or more being relegated to irrelevancy.

Having enjoyed success in the extra-preliminary round, it was also the end of the road for Handsworth Parramore and Penistone Church as both suffered home defeats.
However, Parkgate might be struggling in the league but they seem to have a taste for the FA Cup as Billy Fox's men pulled off a shock win, knocking out Evo Stik East Division side Brighouse Town 2-0 in their own backyard – two stunning first half goals in the space of eight first half minutes from Tim Whittaker and Elliott Simpson, from 35 yards, sending the Steelmen through.
And Parkgate will also be joined by Staveley MW, Maltby Main and Frickley Athletic in Tuesday's first qualifying round draw.
Stocksbridge were left to rue missed first half chances as Bamber Bridge went through 3-1 at Bracken Moo, despite Aaron Moxam equalising and Liam McFadyen rattling the crossbar with a header early in the second half.
"I'm disappointed not have gone through or at least earn a replay. We had enough chances particularly in the first half," said boss Chris Hilton.
Sheffield FC's 5-1 defeat at Hyde United was a little harsh on Gavin Smith's side with the hosts scoring four inside the last 20 minutes after Club had dominated the opening exchanges of the second half.
Sheffield grabbed a consolation in stoppage time when Marc Newsham hooked home from close range.
The only goal arrived five minutes into the second half when Emini Adedgebenro took advantage of hesitancy in the defence from a long ball to curl home a fine finish. Handsworth had gone close just before the break when Lee Hill saw his header cleared off the line.
Penistone Church crashed out 3-1 against Runcorn Town. The visitors had led 2-0 inside the opening 22 minutes and Tom Scrivens go one back early in the second half, but Runcorn grabbed a third 15 minutes from time to go through.
On the plus side Maltby Main came from a goal down at Evo-Stik league side Runcorn Linnets to win 2-1.
The home side had deservedly led through Paul Shanley's fine finish just past the half hour mark.
The Miners worked their way back into the tie creating a couple of openings before finally levelling the scores on the stroke of half-time as Ross Duggan hit his fourth goal of the season.
Maltby grabbed what proved to be the winner on 69 minutes with a goal worthy of winning any game, Danny Frost hitting a first time effort on the angle into the far corner.
Staveley MW eased through to the next round, beating Lutterworth Town 3-0 at Inkersall Road, Adam Baskerville, Jahmal Riley and Robson Doolan on target.
Frickley made light work of NCEL side Liversedge going through 10-1 after the visitors had taken a third minute lead. But Liversedge were blown away with goals from Jacob Hazel (2), Dan Palmer (2), Jack Burton (2), Tyler Walton and Sam Liversedge.
Tuesday, Toolstation NCEL: Division One Hallam v Parkgate.

Warning. Some of you might find what follows disturbing, in particular Englishy English folk who believe queueing is a holy of hollies. Here is the thing … Each and every queue has not one end but two ends; the 'express' end and the 'philosophical' end, and you can join any queue at which ever end you choose. Russia taught me this and its brilliant. Here's why …
I was once a proper English queuer; believing everyone should stand in line, unquestioningly wait their turn, without considering if the queue was the best way to get things done or why it was there at all. It's like 'queue communism', everyone equal in the eyes of the queue and God forbid anyone trying to sneak ahead or beat the system. But then I came to live in Russia and I discovered 'queue freedom'. My understanding of queues was turned on its head. While some might call it chaos – I could see that in the chaos there was genius. All these years I had been waiting in line, brainwashed in 'Queue Ideology', and believing queues were proper, fair and equal. They are anything but, and have even murdered people. Read on …
Firstly, queues really do have two ends; the 'express' end at the front and the 'philosophical' end at the back, and for good reason. There are days when one is totally stressed, hot and bothered – dashing to make a meeting or about to miss a plane. Of course, you join the 'express end'. It makes perfect sense, just as a badly injured patient is first to see the doctor in E&A (Emergency & Accident) in a hospital.
Then there are the calm days when one is happy to wait your turn, so joins the 'philosophical' end, and loses oneself in thoughts, dreams or a good book. In fact, as you chill at the back of the queue, the last thing you want are stressed people nearby, disrupting the peace with their rushing and anxiety. They just make everyone at the philosophical end feel anxious too. Much better they go to the 'express' end of the queue and take their stress and worry out of the queue, leaving everyone else queuing in peace.
The world of 'Queue Optimization' is richer than just considering which end of the queue to join. Queues have holes and gaps and a bunch of inefficiencies which provide opportunities for quick thinking, queue optimizers to act and if done correctly, increases the efficiency of the queue for the benefit of everyone.
Think early ISDN modems, developed in the first days of the internet when most people still used hard wired phone lines. The first modems blocked the phone line – either you used the phone or the computer but not both at the same time. But the ISDN modem was cunning, it could connect both simultaneously using a type of queue optimization. Voice calls have massive gaps between words and phrases. The ISDN cleverly pops pieces of computer data into these gaps. At the other end the pieces of computer data are removed and reassembled. Its classic 'queue optimization'. This can be replicated in the physical world, for example on roads. When a red traffic light changes to green as you approach – its sometimes possible to nip past the waiting cars in a free lane if timed right, without blocking of slowing the waiting cars and increasing the flow of traffic.
It's said that a lack of life boats killed people on the Titanic. It's certainly true there weren't enough for all aboard – but the lifeboats were found the day after with 473 empty spaces. Therefore, there must have been a bigger problem than a lack of lifeboats. The gallant notion of waiting in line, with the women and children at the front to evacuate first did not help – slowing down lifeboat loading time. Had people 'queue optimized' they would have found a way to access those empty spaces, but so strict was the notion of queuing that males trying to access lifeboats before 'their turn' were threatened, in some cases lynched and beaten. The 'wait your turn' queuing policy did not even help the people it was meant to save. Fifty percent of infants on the Titanic died in the sinking and they were first in line. Clearly queuing killed not just those people waiting at the back of the line – but those at the front too. As I said earlier, a queue has two ends, not just for joining it, but also for those it kills, something that should never be forgotten. Queues have blood on their hands! When we see a queue, we should shiver in horror at the sight and start asking questions!
So how might queue optimization have worked on the Titanic? Good question – frankly anything would have been better than gallant old fashioned 'queuing'. It is instructive to look at another disaster – this time with a happy ending, where everyone survived in what is nothing short of a miracle. Indeed, the event became known as the 'Miracle on the Hudson', when American Airlines flight 1549 ditched on the Hudson river after suffering duel engine failure immediately after take-off. The fact that not a single life was lost is astonishing and many factors contributed to that happy outcome. One interesting fact is that during the evacuation of the sinking aircraft, Captain Sully utilized a form of queue optimization. He instructed some of the healthy young guys – the ones that normally are made to wait at the back of the line – to get off as fast as possible, and to carry out an elderly or infirm passenger (there was at least one person in a wheelchair on flight 1549). What if the Titanic had told the men to board the life boats first but only if carrying a woman or child? The lifeboats would have loaded at twice the speed. Of course, its speculation though anything would have been better on that fateful night!
Queue optimization can be applied in day to day life, other than sinking ships and planes. Cuba is a land of queues and a good place for a spot of practice. I found one particularly pointless queue for Wi-Fi cards. These can be purchased only in the post office with a registration process similar to obtaining a visa! So, every post office had a massive queue of travelers waiting to get cards and here was an optimization opportunity. Each person registering for one or two Wi-Fi cards was wasting time, so we organized our queues into groups – one person registered on behalf of four to five others and purchased 15-20 cards for the rest. Our queues for Wi-Fi cards were four times faster. But fascinatingly, people resign themselves to queuing rather than engage in creative thinking to challenge it.
Traffic is hopelessly inefficient, and cars follow each other blindly into queues. Lorries going up hills or yellow Moscow cabs are like voices calls on old copper phone lines. On occasions I find myself getting out of the car and even directing traffic – famously in an underground car park in central Moscow where drivers could not see all available exits and formed a ridiculous queue to use one exit blocking the others. Standing in the right position I could direct the cars to the other exits, and we were all out in a third of the time. Queue Optimization takes commitment!
There is research that suggests queues are not the optimal means of using resources and should be rethought. Professor Lars Peter Osterdal of the University of South Denmark, has experimented with different queuing systems at airport check in, and discovered that the 'last-come-first-served' was more efficient than the regular 'first in line'queue. The problem is it's against people's intuition about fairness, and everyone needs to know the new queuing 'rules' but there is much to be gained by asking if there might be a better way.
Had I not come to Russia I would never have thought to question the holy sanctuary of queueing. When I first arrived in the early nineties, just after the fall of communism, I was met by a very different approach to queuing by people who had a lot of experience. 'Queue Optimization' recognizes that each queue has the opportunity to be more efficient, we just need to apply our creativity and our energy (should you need to direct traffic yourself), and crucially we must challenge old beliefs. As always with Russia – it's a land that continually opens our eyes.

Q: UICollectionViewLayout when is layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath called I'm subclassing UICollectionViewLayout, and the layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath: method is never called.
I know to override layoutAttributesForElementsInRect: as well, but I'd rather not have to deal with the rect, as it will be a lot simpler if I just deal with the index path.
If layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath: is never called, whats the point of it?

A: layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath: is called in different scenarii, when you add new cells to the collection view, when you change the layout, when you reload specific index paths, etc.
You need to implement it, even though it won't get called in the "default" scenario.

A: layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath: is actually called when changing layouts with the animated parameter set to true.

A: I was wondering this myself, because I had hoped layoutAttributesForElementsInRect: would call layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:. But it doesn't.
If you want to ensure that the returned layout attributes are always modified, see my answer here:

Chagossians in Parliament press MPs to finally deliver justice.
MPs from across all parties, including Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn, called for the Government to "put to bed a shameful chapter in the UK's history" by supporting Chagossians right to return to their homeland in a Westminster Hall debate yesterday. The full debate can be watched here, or the transcript read here.
As can be seen the above picture, a large number of Chagossians attended the debate and met with MPs before and after the debate to explain their experience and ambitions face-to-face. UK Chagos Support Association funds helped pay for transport so Chagossians could attend the debate, so a massive thank you to all our donors for making the day happen. Having Chagossians present at the debate about their own future made a real difference.
Leaders of the Opposition typically do not speak in such debates but Jeremy Corbyn reiterated he has long been "a passionate advocate of the Chagossian people," crediting them for "fighting for so long and so valiantly for their rights."
Responding, Minister for Overseas Territories Mark Duddridge assured MPs present that Ministers were continuing to look at resettlement options and added that he took his responsibility on this issue "very seriously." Mr Duddridge also confirmed his plans to travel to the Islands, meet with Chagossians and the meet with the Chagos Islands All-Party Parliamentary Group before a final decision is reached.
The debate comes at an opportune moment, with a consultation into Chagossian resettlement ending the day before the debate and a Supreme Court judgement due in the very near future. Speaking of the consultation, the Minister acknowledged a "positive response" from the community and accepted "many Chagossians" want to return. He also stated the Government also wanted to support the ambitions of those who would prefer to remain.
Although acknowledging the mistakes of previous Governments, the Minister commented that there remained "issues" around resettlement, including cost, military use and social concerns.
Prior to the Ministers comments, Labour Shadow Foreign Minister Stephen Doughty pledged to work with the Government and added that "I fundamentally believe there is a way to resolve any issues around resettlement."
Throughout the debate a range of speakers, including SNP MP Paul Monaghan who secured the debate, raised various other concerns. Points mentioned included the complexity of Chagossian citizenship status, the poverty-ridden exile of Chagossians and the chance to secure US support for resettlement as the terms of UK-US agreement on the use of Diego Garcia comes up for renewal next year.
The public gallery was unusually full for the debate, with Chagossians packed in to see the debate on their future. The Minister James Duddridge acknowledged the high attendance, both by politicians and Chagossians, demonstrated the "passion" of the debate. Henry Smith, Conservative MP for Crawley, noted that "there are more Chagossians in the gallery than there have been in the Chagos Archipelago over the past fifty years, and that can not be right."
UK Chagos Support Association welcome the Minister's commitment to deliver return on fair terms, paricualrly his plan to meet with Chagossians. We ask him to consider seriously some of the criticisms of the current consultation strategy raised during the debate.
"The level of support in Parliament demonstrates resettlement can be made a reality, and needs to be, in the very near future" commented UK Chagos Support Association Committee Chair Stefan Donnelly.

In the eighth grade, at the apex of blue-liquid tampon marketing, my period came suddenly in the middle of a yearbook club meeting. I wore my gym shorts for the rest of the day and I thought I'd never recover from the shame. I did, of course, and in 2019, the shaming has been shut down and we're talking openly about periods: We're women! We bleed! It's normal!
Halfway around the world in Australia, Roz Campbell was enjoying the same luxury of access. This is the story of how she used that privilege to help others. While at university, Roz was listening to a presentation by the founder of One Girl, a group that provides scholarships for girls in Uganda and Sierra Leone. A major problem, the speaker explained, was that girls were missing school for a week every month — because of their periods. Without access to proper hygiene products, they were forced to stay home.
The talk had a profound impact on Roz. She was studying industrial design at the time but shifted her focus from designing furniture to designing pads. She wanted to create a better product for periods, and, in turn, use it as a vehicle for change.
Her first step before diving into her business was to understand her cause more intimately by taking the One Girl Challenge: For one week, she replaced commercial period products with items like newspapers, sponges, and rags. On her sponge day, Roz says she made the "rookie mistake" of using it right out of the package, not realizing that kitchen sponges are treated with a chemical to keep them soft. "I was standing in front of the class and I had to leave the room and go and put some toilet paper in there instead because it was burning," she says.
Roz set out to build Tsuno, a period brand made with more responsible materials. She crowdfunded to raise the AU$40,000 (nearly US$29,000) needed to place the first order and planned to donate profits from sales to One Girl — the organization also generates funding from its own online store — and other women's organizations.
In 2018, she's set an aggressive goal for herself: Send 100 girls to school, which amounts to $30,000 in donations. Roz is working hard to get her message out to more people and, fortunately, there's space for honest and frank conversation about periods these days.
But in 2015, after an interview with Megyn Kelly, Donald Trump referred to the TV anchor as having "blood coming out of her wherever." That was also the year that the Tampon Tax — a tax imposed on menstruation products that's at odds with other tax-exempt basic necessities — became a political sticking point in both the U.K. and Australia. Suddenly, the media was talking about periods. Cosmopolitan magazine called it "the year the period went public," and #PeriodsAreNotAnInsult erupted on Twitter.
If Roz's customers aren't buying for the cause, they're sold on the product and the branding. Either way, the charity wins. And customers seem to be winning as well. Roz often receives emails from women who have been helped by her products. One such email stands out: The customer, who suffers from endometriosis and sensitive skin, explained that most pads cause pain and discomfort, but that she found relief with Tsuno.
Last month, and roughly 300 periods after that eighth grade incident, I fashioned an emergency pad out of public washroom paper towels — proof that it never really gets easier. After telling Roz's story, though, I'm reminded that the post-consumer sandpaper between my legs is still a privilege.

Our children really love to listen and dance to the music.. We usually do the music time in the morning, prior to our circle time.
Our older children learn "pre-writing" at May's Chinese Preschool. We do it through many fun activities: writing on sand, on easel, on the notebooks ("ben zi"), on the back yard patio, in Buhr Park tennis courts, on sidewalks, on the walls with wet brushes... The preschoolers enjoy writing by playing very much and some of them can write very well.
Our children love large muscle activities. Walking on a balance beam is one of them.
Children explore the world by senses. Here is one of the ways.
Sliding is one of our children's favorite outdoor activities. It promotes children's gross motor skill development.

Festival Review: Driving for a little dance at The Drop Festival
Rouchelle Gilmore Josh Sunderland April 21, 2018 LatestMusic
The Drop Festival in Margs was the last stop on the tour which was traveling on the Australian leg of the World Surf League. The line-up had a surfy vibe with a good mix of Aussie alternative bands; SAFIA, Dune Rats, San Cisco, Holy Holy, and Ruby Fields. Everyone could feel they were in a for a wicked time and they 100% were. The music started quite early in the afternoon so a lot of the punters lost their chance to witness the alt-rock vibes of Ruby Fields.
Holy Holy played a great set and dancing in the afternoon sun was all that the punter's wanted to do. Live Holy Holy really gets into your soul even more than it does when it is listened to on the radio. They really complemented the surfy vibe of The Drop. Their music had a dreamy way of taking you to another place with electric guitar and the drums.
Powerful synth and funky guitar riffs combined with vocalist Tim Carroll's heartfelt lyrics sliding over the top had everyone loving life. One of their biggest hits, True Lovers, was certainly a crowd favourite as it received the biggest cheer of the set, and they even threw in their Triple J Like A Version cover of Beyonce's Hold Up for good measure. Holy Holy set the tone for the good spirits that were about to ensue.
San Cisco was catchy and relatable. Punters' were dancing with random strangers and were pushing themselves to the front of the mosh pit. As the sun started to set over Margaret River, the second half of San Cisco's set really cranked it up into the party zone. With the crowd constantly bopping along, with the sun going down, and everyone really settling into the evening.
Dune Rats crashed through the front door, plugged their guitars in and started a house party without you even knowing they were invited. Once they got going they couldn't be stopped. Dunies (their affectionate namesake) kicked the speakers up to eleven and got everyone head-banging and shouting along to their stoner rock. The raw, garage sound was unrelenting, and the band sort of felt like the guys you randomly meet at a pub and become best mates with for the night. They were high energy from start to finish.
SAFIA was absolutely rocking, their music taking you away, the stage showmanship was actually great. At the back of the mosh punters were free to bop around and enjoy the amazing lighting production. The atmosphere was on fire.
Giving their biggest tunes, including Freakin' Out and Cellophane Rainbow, the drums slapped hard, the electro-pop synth and guitar danced over the top with lead vocalist Ben Woolner's silky falsetto. SAFIA took charge of the groove and even dropped their monster 2014 collab with Peking Duk Take Me Over. There was non-stop singing and dancing inside that mosh, and it was awesome to end the night on such a huge high.
Margaret River could potentially be dropped from the WSL World Tour in coming years, hopefully, the success of The Drop means it isn't just a one-off event. Heading down south can be embraced in many different ways. Going high-flying style, getting back to nature while camping or anywhere in between. However, remember to pick your road trip buddies wisely, car games are always an option and do a little research before you go on where things are located not everything is close by. Also put down the phone, it will make you car sick anyway.

I was wondering where this sense of entitlement he seems to have came from. You know, this idea that what he does and what the little people do should not be compared?
Anthony David Weiner (pronounced /?wi?n?r/; born September 4, 1964) is the U.S. Representative for New York\'s 9th congressional district, which includes parts of southern Brooklyn and south and central Queens. Weiner is a Democrat, and has held the office since 1999. He was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in the 1998 mid-term elections, filling the seat previously occupied by Democrat Charles Schumer who successfully ran for the U.S. Senate that year. Weiner defeated his Republican opponent, Louis Telano, by a margin of 66 percent to 23 percent. He was re-elected handily for six additional terms, receiving 59 percent of the vote in 2010.[2] He was an unsuccessful candidate for Mayor of New York City in the 2005 election.
Previously, Weiner was a member of the New York City Council from 1992 to 1998, and an aide to former U.S. Representative Schumer from 1985 to 1991. He is a graduate of the State University of New York at Plattsburgh.
Ah, that\'s it then. He\'s a professional politician, never had a real job.

It's often fun to pronounce American names of German origin properly. I particularly enjoyed if for the financial mogul Sandy Weil.

…what the little people do..
I suspect that, compared to Weiner, the 'little people' would be just about everybody, except maybe John Holmes.

You surely must have seen the wrong pic. Compared to Weiner, very few are little people.

8 ARRESTED IN THEFT, DISMEMBERMENT OF BIG BOY ICON
Published Tue, Mar 28, 1995
The grisly Big Boy whodunit was solved Tuesday.
Eight men, most of them college students, admitted to police that they and two younger friends stole the cheery, 300-pound restaurant icon on March 17, dismembered him with a hacksaw and dumped his remains at other Big Boy restaurants in the area with notes that declared: "Big Boy is Dead."
"We were bored," said 18-year-old Tom Martinez.
The eight probably will be charged with criminal mischief, a misdemeanor that could land them in jail for 60 days and cost them more than $3,000 to pay for the pudgy, 6-foot Big Boy, Detective Ron Scanlon said. Charges weren't expected until today.
Two other suspects -- both juveniles -- failed to surrender as expected Tuesday.
The group took the fiberglass, hamburger-toting statue to an apartment and debated what to do with it when one suggested they "chop him up," Scanlon said.
A tipster led police to the group.
"The long saga is over," said Dave Nelson, manager of the restaurant where the statue was purloined. "We know who killed Big Boy. We can all rest a little bit easier."

A landlord's potential liability for crimes committed by third parties against tenants has been a dynamic and expanding area of the law since 1970. While several jurisdictions have been reluctant to expand the landlord's liability to his tenant, other courts have found the landlord liable for criminal acts based upon tort and contract principles.

Bandits take over Niger community, displace 2,500
Over 2,500 residents of various communities in the Munya Local Government Area of Niger State have been forced out of their homes as a result of incessant attacks by bandits.
The situation was worsened by last Sunday's attack, which left an army officer and three soldiers dead.
Our correspondent gathered in Minna, the state capital, on Tuesday, that the bandits had taken over the Kabuka community and converted it to their operational base.
It was learnt that the displaced persons, most of whom are women, had taken refuge in a primary school in Sarkin Pawa at the local government headquarters.
Other communities affected by the attacks are Ingu Kasa, Anguwan Bussa, Galuwi, Almujere, Toko, Anguwan Zarumai and Anguwan Kwata.
The attacks also affected communities in Katarma and Kuduru in the Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, which shares borders with Niger State. Residents from the two communities have also taken refuge in parts of Niger State.
In response to the situation, the Niger State Government has deployed additional security agents in the affected communities, who are already on the trail of the bandits.
Meanwhile, the State Emergency Management Agency has opened a temporary camp for the displaced persons at a primary school in Sarkin Pawa and has provided some relief materials for those taking refuge in the camp.
The Director-General of the agency, Ibrahim Inga, told Northern City News that food items, sanitary and sleeping materials had been provided to ameliorate the sufferings of the people.
Inga, who paid a visit to the area to ascertain the number of casualties and the plight of the displaced persons, stated that over 100 bandits invaded the communities on about 50 motorcycles.
The DG, who was silent on the number of civilian casualties, explained that the residents informed him that the bandits rustled about 500 cattle from the affected communities and were looking for safe exit routes, but were currently scattered in Mangoro and Kabula in Zazzaga.

Colwell: Will foreign policy be the focus in next Democratic debate?
Mayor Pete wasn't known as a foreign policy expert while serving as South Bend's mayor.
But then Sen. Bernie Sanders never has been known as a foreign policy expert while serving for so long in the Senate.
And the current president doesn't exactly demonstrate expertise in relations with foreign nations, whether they be friends or foes.
So, it will be interesting if foreign policy is — as it should be — a major focus of the Democratic presidential debate Tuesday in Iowa.
The only one of the debating Democratic candidates with real foreign policy expertise is Joe Biden, the former vice president who long was the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee back when it was powerful and prestigious. He knew the world. The world knew him.
Will this be Biden's time to shine, talking about a subject he knows better than any of the other debaters? Maybe. He has an advantage. Maybe not. His long record in foreign relations, including joining in the initial strong national support for the war in Iraq, will be scrutinized. In the case of the mistaken Iraq war, it will be criticized.
Will this be Pete Buttigieg's time to show that he — the only one of the top contenders with military service, with active duty in Afghanistan — has a reasoned, measured approach to the crisis with Iran and other dangers around the world? Maybe. He was one of the first Democrats to respond directly and carefully to the crisis after the killing of a top Iranian commander. Maybe not. He will face challenges that a mayor of South Bend develops expertise only in relations with places like Mishawaka.
Will this be the time for Sanders to demonstrate he knows about the world, not just that he "wrote the damn bill," a bill now with no chance of passage? Maybe. He certainly has views on avoiding conflicts abroad. Maybe not. He seems to want always to get back to his talking points on "his" issues, nothing else.
Will this be the time when one of the others, Sen. Elizabeth Warren or Sen. Amy Klobuchar, surges with focus on something as important as war and peace? Maybe. Warren needs to recover after slipping in the polls. Klobuchar needs finally to move up to top-tier contender. Maybe not. Will they, instead of looking up to the challenge, look down again into a wine cave?
The debate could deteriorate into a circular firing squad, with squabbles over things of little significance turning off viewers and enhancing President Trump's re-election prospects.
But the opportunity is presented to rise above a wine cave and focus on the significant role of the president in this dangerous world — dealing with Iran, North Korea, Afghanistan, Syria — and Putin.
The opportunity comes as a result of a scary situation, the prospect of military conflict with Iran and elsewhere in the Middle East after the killing of Gen. Qassim Suleimani, loathed here, a hero there.
The debate, the seventh, will be the most important yet.
It comes with the field finally narrowed to serious contenders and with the Iowa caucuses just three weeks away.
It comes with a recent CBS poll showing the Iowa race so close that Biden, Buttigieg and Sanders are tied, all with 23 percent support.
It comes with other poll results showing President Trump edging up in approval ratings, with voters split evenly on whether he should be removed through conviction on impeachment charges in the Senate.
Conviction won't come. Acquittal in the Senate could help him.
Trump's handling of the crisis with Iran, however, could diminish his chances. Or improve them, if the Democratic opposition doesn't emerge as having a better, safer way to deal with foreign relations on issues of war and peace.

Elected, Chosen, and Called
Humans are called the elect for whom the complete destruction of all life on Earth will be stopped. The elect will be gathered from all areas of the planet. We are called God's elect, guiltless, and will obtain the salvation with eternal glory. Humans are said to be the poor of this world, and rich in faith, chosen out of the world, from before the beginning of the world. Though the world hates them, they are a precious, faithful, chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a peculiar (sacred) people, and heirs of the royalty. The chosen are called according to his purpose, which was given by Christ Jesus before the world began, and announced by the gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus, the Christ. Few wise, mighty, or noble men are called. Those called are told to press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling, which is predestinated, justified, glorified, sanctified, worthy, and virtuous. We are called saints with a holy calling to the royalty and glory of the Christ. Through this calling, mankind receives the promise of eternal inheritance, and will inherit a blessing of eternal life and glory, and all things that pertain unto life and godliness will be given to mankind.
Elected, Chosen, and Called Verses: See Appendix FSaints
To many, a "saint" is a person chosen by the church to receive this honor for great deeds, special powers, and always being very dead. The word appears in the Bible almost a hundred times, and in most instances refers to people that are very much alive. The Bible speaks of poor saints, churches of, collection for, ministry of, perfecting of, supplication for, and want of the saints. It says Jesus will make intercession for the saints, they are sanctified, glorified, righteous, and they will judge the world. They will receive the riches of the glory of Jesus' inheritance and know the mystery, which was hidden from ages and from generations. Jesus, the Christ, is the King of saints and an unknown number of them will appear with him in the last days.

Men are said to be converted to be healed, their sins will be blotted out, and they will become as little children to enter into the kingdom (royalty) of heaven (the sky). Humans will all be changed into the same image as the glory of the Lord, be in a similar form like his glorious body, and achieve immortality. Humans are to be transferred into kingdom (royalty).

A Promise of a Physical Change
Scripture reveals that the change will be physical, with a complete transmutation of the body, from one form to another.
♦ 2 Corinthians 3:17. Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
♦ Philippians 3:20. For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21. Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (conversation = community)
♦ II Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
The Royal Inheritance
The Formula for the Highest of Human Quests
The Holy Grail, the Fountain of Youth, Atlantis, The Hall of Records, The Spear of Destiny; all pursuits of great import to gain immortality, wisdom, truth, total power, freedom, love, the true meaning of life, and insight into the destiny of humanity. Combined in the pages of the Bible are all these treasures and the key to gain a full share of all for eternity. The promises made to mankind defy every conventional view of possibility, and are gained with the simple action of belief in the royal leader of the family of universally powerful beings who have promised it, Jesus, the Christ, and the Creator. All the superior things mankind has sought, and fought, for are offered in abundance in scripture. In the previous sections of this work we have presented hundreds of verses solidly establishing the promise of an inheritance into the royal family of God as the true gospel Jesus brought to mankind. In this section we offer hundreds of verses detailing the incredible rewards that are received with this eternal inheritance.
Immortality is the most sought after of human pursuit. The Fountain of Youth, The Elixir of Life, the mythical Holy Grail, and many other potential sources of eternal life have been the focus of mankind's desire to escape death. Most people are familiar with only one verse in the Bible associated with immortality:
♦ "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3: 16).
What is not well known is that this concept is repeated almost 50 times in the New Testament. Certainly, the heavy emphasis on this by the Christ, as well as the same priority expressed by the Apostles, testifies to its importance in this incredible message intended for humanity.
The almost 50 references to the promise and inheritance of ever lasting, eternal, or immortal life in the New Testament provide, in number alone, proof of its importance to the message of Jesus and his Apostles. It is important to understand that this immortality is easily accessible to humans. All that is required is find a way to get to the Tree of Life:
♦ "And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:" (Genesis 3: 22).

Old Testament Immortality
The Old Testament is a record of the contacts of a very limited segment of humanity, the Nation of Israel, with a race of beings called the Elohiym, God, and another group of beings serving the Elohiym called the Malak, angels. The concepts these beings passed on to mankind are replete with references to the eternal, everlasting, and things that remain forever. The Old Testament speaks of an everlasting Father, the everlasting God, with everlasting arms, who is is from everlasting, and to everlasting, an everlasting king, and an everlasting kingdom. It mentions an everlasting covenant, dominion, foundation, name, sign, statute, priesthood, possession, and throne. It testifies to an everlasting joy, kindness, light, love, mercy, remembrance, righteousness, and strength. And, it declares there is an everlasting salvation and everlasting life. There is an eternal God and an eternal excellence.
Man is said to have the ability to live forever. Some land is given forever, some land will not be sold forever, and some places are desolate forever. There are covenants, ordinances, statutes, signs, inheritances, memorials, judgments, oaths, kingdoms, kings, princes, and thrones, which last forever, while many other things are established and kept forever, as well as things that perish forever. Things are destroyed forever, priests and their sons minister forever, some generations last forever, some beings are anointed forever. There is love, blessing, friendship, belief, and a peace that will last forever, an ever-burning fire, and places to abide and dwell forever. The Lord will reign forever and ever, he endures, he keeps truth, he rules by his power, and his counsel stands forever, he puts his name on things forever, that name is magnified, glorified, and endures forever, his mercy, truth, commandments, judgments, and righteousness endure for ever, he offers sanctuary, which he has sanctified forever, the word of God will stand forever. Salvation will be forever, saints are preserved, thanks are given, and the earth abides forever, and time will last forever and ever.
