Q: \newcommand with \begin{}[] text and \end I'm trying to create a new command called \codeR:
\codeR{This will appear with a code format}

This might help me to avoid typing all the \begin{lstlisting}[language=R] and \end{lstlisting} commands everytime:
\usepackage{listings}

\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[language=R]
     This will appear with a code format
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

I tried the following:
\newcommand{\codeR}[1]{
\begin{lstlisting}{language=R}
{#1}
\end{lstlisting}
}

But is not working. Might you help me please?
Thank you.

A: A \newcommand won't work as soon as there should be fragile content. Instead use a \lstnewenvironment:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}

\lstnewenvironment{codeR}{\lstset{language=R}}{}

\begin{document}
\begin{codeR}
     This will appear with a code format
\end{codeR}
\end{document}

A: (Make sure to have this encoded in some 8bit-encoding, e.g., latin1.)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}

% Implement stuff for reading arguments "verbatim":
%
% Syntax of \UDcollectverbarg:
%
%   \UDcollectverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{<Mandatory 1>}{<Mandatory 2>}<verbatim-Arg>
%
% yields:
%
%   <Mandatory 1>{<Mandatory2>{<verbatim-Arg>}}
%
% Syntax of \UDconcatverbarg:
%
%   \UDconcatverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{<Mandatory 1>}{<Mandatory 2>}<verbatim-Arg>
%
% yields:
%
%   <Mandatory 1>{<Mandatory2><verbatim-Arg>}
%
% with each character ^^M (usually=\endline-char) replaced by
%   token-sequence <^^M-replacement>
%
% The Mandatory-Arguments are mandatory. If they consist of several
% tokens, they must be nested into catcode-1/2-character-pair / braces.
% If reading is necessary, they will be read under normal catcode-
% conditions.
% The verbatim-Arg is also mandatory. It will be read under
% verbatim-catcode-conditions. If its first character is a brace,
% it will be "assumed" that the argument is nested into braces.
% Otherwise it will be assumed, that the argument is delimited
% by the first character - like the argument of \verb.
%
% Empty-lines will not be ignored.
%
% By nesting calls to \UDcollectverbarg within \UDcollectverbarg's first
% argument, you can collect "verbatim-arguments" within its second
% argument.
%
% E.g.,
%
%   \UDcollectverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{\UDcollectverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{\UDcollectverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{<actionA>}}}% <- Mandatory 1
%                {<actionB>}%                     <- Mandatory
%                <verbatim-Arg1><verbatim-Arg2><verbatim-Arg3>
%
% yields:
%
%  \UDcollectverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{\UDcollectverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{<actionA>}}% <- Mandatory 1
%               {<actionB><verbatim-Arg1>}%        <- Mandatory 2
%               <verbatim-Arg2><verbatim-Arg3>
%
% yields:
%
%  \UDcollectverbarg{<^^M-replacement>}{<actionA>}% <- Mandatory 1
%               {<actionB>{<verbatim-Arg1>}{<verbatim-Arg2>}}% <- Mandatory 2
%               <verbatim-Arg3>
%
% yields:
%
%  <actionA>{<actionB>{<verbatim-Arg1>}{<verbatim-Arg2>}{<verbatim-Arg3>}}
%
% Assume <actionA> = \@firstofone -> equals:
%
%     \@firstofone{<actionB>{<verbatim-Arg1>}{<verbatim-Arg2>}{<verbatim-Arg3>}}
%
%    yields:
%
%     <actionB>{<verbatim-Arg1>}{<verbatim-Arg2>}{<verbatim-Arg3>}

Guidelines for the usage of \codeR.
Internally \codeR does use \scantokens. Due to the subtleties of the way in which \scantokens works, it is necessary to have \codeR read the input and tokenize the tokens that form its argument under verbatim-catcode-régime. Therefore \codeR does switch to verbatim-catcode-régime before fetching (and hereby—this is our hope—having to read input from the input file for  tokenizing the tokens forming it) its argument and passing that argument on to \scantokens which in turn wraps a lstlisting-environment around it before re-processing and hereby re-tokenizing the whole thing.
Basic facts:
(La)TeX works on so-called tokens. Tokens are data-structures.
But when you think of (La)TeX as a factory for producing .pdf-files and the like, then you can think of tokens as nice little sparkling items that at the beginning of the assmbly-line of that factory are put on that assembly-line and then get transported into the deeper realms of that factory.
Many people call that assmbly-line "token stream".
So when (La)TeX does read your .tex-input file, it takes that file for a set of instructions for putting some of these nice little sparkling tokens on the beginning of the assembly line. (La)TeX "looks" at the input file and decides/chooses which tokens to put at the beginning of the assembly line/which tokens to insert at the fountainhead of the token-stream. The choice is influenced by so-called category codes. Each character that (La)TeX might see in the input-file has a so-called category code. The category code assigned to an input-character determines what token to put on the assembly-line/into the token stream when seeing that character in a .tex-input file. For example when (La)TeX in the input file sees a character where currently category code 0 is assigned to—usually category code 0 is assigned only to the backslash character \—it will take this character for the directive to gather the name of a control sequence token from following input characters and then putting the corresponding control sequence token onto the assembly line. For example when (La)TeX is not gathering the name of a control sequence token and in the input-file finds the character "A", while "A" has currently assigned the category code 11 (letter), it will put an explicit character token onto the assembly line, whose catcode is 11(letter) and whose charcode is 65. (Internally (La)TeX does represent all possible characters in ASCII, i.e., the range for encoding goes from 0 to 255 and thereof the range from 0 to 127 corresponds to ASCII while the range from 128 to 256 depends on what 8bit-encoding is en vogue on the side of the user/of the computer-platform where (La)TeX is run. "A" has number 65 in ASCII.)
Then there is another station in the factory. That's the expansion-station. Here (La)TeX looks at the tokens that are brought to the expansion-station by the assembly line and does remove some tokens and replace them by other tokens. The rules for doing this come both from the ⟨replacement texts⟩ of macro-definitions and from the meanings of expandable TeX primitives. E.g., \romannumeral is an expandable TeX-primitive whose expansion yields replacing token sequences that are considered representations of numbers by token sequnces that are considered representations of these numbers in the way the Romans wrote numbers.
So tokens can come into being in two ways:

*

*When (La)TeX does read and tokenize input. This is the moment when category codes do apply.

*When TeX does—during expansion—replace tokens by other tokens according to the rules given both by the ⟨replacement text⟩ of  macro-definitions and by the meanings of expandable TeX-primitives.
Be aware that \codeR does rely on having its argument tokenized under verbatim-category-code-régime.
This means that you should use \codeR

*

*neither in ways where it gets its argument passed by other macros. That's because then the arguments got read from the input and tokenized not at the time of carrying out \codeR but already at the time of expanding these other macros.
That circumstance in turn implies that the likelihood is high that the tokens forming the argument of \codeR got tokenized under the wrong catcode-régime.
(At first glimpse it might look as if things would work out anyway. But there are subtleties which have to do with the way in which the eTeX primitive \scantokens works:
\scantokens emulates unexpanded writing tokens to a text file and reading back and hereby tokenizing anew that text file. With (La)TeX there are some subtle aspects when it comes to unexpanded-writing tokens to a text file:
E.g., there will always be inserted a trailing space behind a control word.
E.g., explicit character tokens of category code 6(parameter), i.e., hashes, will always be doubled when unexpanded-writing to text file.
When during unexpanded writing encountering an explicit character token whose character code in terms of (La)TeX' internal character code  representation (which is ASCII) equals the value of the integer parameter \newlinechar, then (La)TeX will not write that character but it will write a "newline" (LF or CR or CR+LF; depends on your computer platform) into the text file in question.
Also there is this subtle ^^-notation-thingie for in the input representing other characters.
A ^^-notation-thingie in the input file is a sequence of two equal characters of category code 7(math superscript) in the input file followed either by an ASCII-character or by a two-(lowercase)-digit-hex-number. Usually ^ has category code 7(math superscript).
When encountering a ^^-notation-thingie at the time of reading and tokenizing input, (La)TeX will put a character token into the token stream. E.g., when in the input encountering the sequence ^^41, (La)TeX will take that for the input character A—A = 65 (decimal) = 41 (hexadecimal) in ASCII ;-) —and will put a character token with category code 11(letter) and character code 65 (decimal) into the token stream.
When having done that, (La)TeX does not know any more whether it has done so due to encountering ^^-notation in the input file or due to encountering usual notation in the input-file. When unexpanded-writing to file according to the token-stream, TeX might write the usual representation of the character-token in question.
With code-listings whose .tex-output should literally look the same as the input, this might lead to the undesired transforming of ^^-sequences into something else. E.g., ^^41 might be transformed to A.
Therefore it must be ensured that (La)TeX does not perform such subtle things when \scantokens "unexpanded-writing"-part is carried out. Ensuring that performing such things does not happen is in turn done by ensuring that (La)TeX does not encounter circumstances where it does perform those things. This in turn is done by switching to the verbatim-category-code-régime where no character has category code 6(parameter) and where no character has category code 0(escape) and where no character has category code 10(space) and where no character has category code 7(math superscript) before letting (La)TeX read and tokenize the input that it shall process as a verbatim code listing.
This way reading and tokenizing input does never yield a control word token (whereafter during \scantokens' unexpanded-writing-part an unwanted space would get inserted), does never yield a character token of category code 6(parameter) (which during \scantokens' unexpanded-writing-part would be doubled), does never lead to the situation that (La)TeX takes a sequence of characters of category code 7(math superscript) for ^^-notation (which during \scantokens' unexpanded-writing-part might yield writing the non-^^-representation instead). No character being of category code 10(space) has the nice side effect that several consecutive spaces that get tokenized from input will not be collapsed into one single space token.)

*nor in ways where it gets arguments passed whose tokens came into being as a result of expansion with tokens of wrong catcode-régime as ⟨replacement text⟩. Tokens that are delivered due to the rules of the ⟨replacement text⟩ of a ⟨definition⟩ are copies of tokens that got tokenized under that category code régime that was current when reading and tokenizing the definition. The likelihood that this was/is the wrong category-code-régime is high also.
Always make sure that arguments of \codeR must get read from the input and tokenized at the time of carrying out \codeR.
E.g., don't do:
\newcommand\macro[1]{something fancy \codeR{#1} more fanciness}
...
\macro{some code \relax##}

When \macro gets expanded, the argument will be read and tokenized under non-verbatim category-code-régime. Then that argument is passed to \codeR. But \codeR in turn needs arguments that were tokenized under verbatim category-code-régime. So that's a problem.
(Due to \scantokens unexpanded-writing-part's subtle actions like putting spaces behind control words and doubling catcode-6-hashes, the output will be something like some code \relax*⟨space⟩*####.
E.g., don't do:
\newcommand\SomeConstantCodeR{\codeR{I do need this snippet often \relax##}}.
...
\SomeConstantCodeR

Same here: The definition text gets tokenized at definition-time, thus \relax will be a control word token, not a sequence of explicit character tokens, and the hashes will be explicit character tokens of catcode 6(parameter). The former will lead to insertion of a trailing space between the x of \relax and the first # of ## when \scantokens performs its unexpanded-writing-part. The latter will be reduced to one hash when expanding \SomeConstantCodeR. The remaining single hash in turn gets doubled when \scantokens performs its unexpanded-writing-part.
If you want, you can do:
\newcommand\fanythingsbeforecode[1]{something fancy #1 \codeR}
 ...
\fanythingsbeforecode|This actually is the code.|

You can do this because expanding \fanythingsbeforecode does not lead to tokenizing things that later might get processed as arguments of \codeR.

A: Here is possibly shorter approach. For important fact related to \scantokens, I refer to @UlrichDiez detailed explanations from his answer.

Things to be taken into account:

*

*as seen above, I prefer to use clearer syntax
\codeR{
first line of listing
....
last line of listing
}

*in the non-environment form, braces in the contents must be paired.

*I have completely left aside problems with non-ascii characters (now by default utf8 with LaTeX) because this is already difficulty with listings and I don't know the current status of the problem there.

*all in all one does not quite see the benefits of the only slightly shorter input syntax form... as LaTeX is full of \begin...\end anyway and any reasonable editor will have shortcuts to insert environments like C-cC-e in Emacs.

*the image shows that after removal of the blank line after environment/codeR and above the A or B, there is an indentation suppression effect, common to both cases, so behaviour identical.

New Pipes » Peterson » St. Patrick's Day 2022 (03) Fishtail
Peterson: St. Patrick's Day 2022 (03) Fishtail Tobacco Pipe
Peterson's "03" bent Apple maintains the extra-stout shank and robust transition that combine to define the Peterson aesthetic, while trading the Irish marque's typically tubular bowl style with the rounded form of a classic Apple. The plumpness of the bowl translates well to the hearty transition and shank, lending the composition a tight-knit, muscular aesthetic. It's one of the marque's most charming, well-known shapes, and it's easy to see why — whether hanging from the jaw or filling the palm, it's a versatile smoker that seamlessly marries traditional appeal with Peterson's recognizable personality.
The St. Patrick's Day series is Peterson's longest-standing annual release, having debuted in 1998. The series is among the marque's most celebrated and highly anticipated releases, and like previous versions, the 2022 rendition pays homage to Kapp & Peterson's storied Irish heritage with a color palette befitting the Emerald Isle. This Peterson St. Patrick's Day pipe wears the workshop's signature, hand-tooled rustication and a rich, walnut stain, and it's elevated by a fishtail stem of emerald-green acrylic fitted to a nickel army mount. Moreover, a matching green, Peterson-branded leather stand completes the array, perfect for desk-top use or display.
Note: While this specific Peterson pipe has been photographed individually like our other pipes, the Peterson-branded leather stand accompanying it has not, and the pipe representing its use may or may not be the one offered here.
Shape: Bent Apple

GVSU T&F to Send 29 Athletes, Four Relays to NCAA Division II Championship
by RunMichigan Staff, Mar. 5, 2014
Provided by GVSU
ALLENDALE, Mich. - The Grand Valley State track and field teams now know who will be competing at the 2014 NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championship, as 29 individuals and four relays will head to Winston-Salem, N.C.
The women's team, ranked third in the latest United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) computer rankings, are tied with Lincoln (Mo.) for the most representatives being sent to the national championship, with 17 individual entries and two relays.
The men's team, ranked fourth in the latest USTFCCCA rankings, will be sending 12 individual athletes and two relays to compete, the fourth-most in the country.
On the women's side, the highest-ranked performer heading to nationals is senior pole vaulter Kristen Hixson, who will enter with a 4.35 meter entry mark, easily the best in the country. Joining her in the pole vault field will be Jacqueline Williams and Jennifer Schornak, who are both tied for ninth (3.85m) on the performance list.
The distance medley relay team of Katie Shaheen, Lisa Galasso, Natalie Nelson and Jessica Janecke will enter with the second-best time in Division II at 11:48.23.
Senior and potential national athlete of the year Kalena Franklin is ranked third in the 60 meter hurdles with a seed time of 8.33 seconds, and is also the eighth-best seed time in the 200 meter dash (24.57). She'll also be competing in the 4x400 meter relay with Andrea Kober, Brittney Banister and Brittany Terry, who enter with the fourth-best seed time in Division II at 3:49.11.
GVSU will hope to clean up in the 5000 meter run, with three student-athletes ranked in the top eight of the event. Courtney Brewis finds herself with the fourth-best seed time at 16:59.77, with Jessica Janecke (17:00.68) in fifth and Allyson Winchester (17:07.69) in eighth for the event.
A pair of Lakers will make the trip for the weight throw competition, as Alyssa Zokoe has the eighth-best entry mark (18.53m) and Laura Schroeder is just behind in ninth (18.28m).
In the 3000 meter run, Jessica Janecke (9th; 9:46.10) and Hannah Osborn (11th; 9:47.83) will look to sneak in to the top eight and earn team points towards the final score.
Galasso, who is competing with the DMR team, will also be running in the 800 meter event, entering with a seed time that is 10th-best in Division II at 2:13.05.
Michaela Lewis has the 12th-best time in Division II in the 60 meter dash at 7.61 seconds, while Alisha Weaver is 12th in the high jump with an entry mark of 1.74 meters.
In the mile run, the Lakers will have Jordan Chester (13th; 4:59.37) and Katelyn Cliff (16th; 5:00.38) looking to break in to the top eight during the meet.
On the men's side, Bret Myers leads the contingent with the second-best pole vault mark in Division II at 5.20 meters.
In other field events, the Lakers will have a trio of student-athletes competing in the weight throw, led by third-ranked Darien Thornton with an entry mark of 21.18 meters. Blake Donson (9th; 19.27m) and Jay Lechner (16th; 18.60) will also be competing.
Thornton will also throw in the shot put, entering as the 13th seed with a mark of 17.17 meters. The shot put pair will be led, however, by Chris Saikalis, who has an entry mark of 18.27 meters that ranks fourth in Division II.
The final field athlete will be Trent Chappell, who has a high jump mark of 2.10 meters that ranks 15th in the country.
On the track, a pair of Lakers in the 800 meter run will hope to gather big points, as Ethan Barnes (3rd; 1:50.61) and Jeremy Wilk (6th; 1:52.06) are both highly-ranked.
Sean Wells, who broke the GVSU school record in the 60 meter hurdles four times this year, is the third seed in that event at nationals with a seed time of 7.87 seconds.
Both relay teams on the men's side will enter the meet ranked sixth in the country. The 4x400 meter relay team of Nathaniel Hammersmith, TJ Burnett, Logan Hoffman and Mohamed Mohamed have a seed time of 3:16.27, while the distance medley relay squad of Wilk, Mohamed, Joel Rietsema and Ricky Perez enter with a seed time of 9:59.63.
Hammersmith will also run in the individual 400 meter dash, as he ranks 13th with a seed time of 48.81 seconds.
In the lone distance event GVSU will be represented in by an individual, Alan Peterson will hope to work his way in to the top eight of the 5000 meter run, entering with the 14th-best seed time of 14:33.85.

Trump Praises Karen Pence for Teaching at Anti-LGBTQ School
President Trump made a series of veiled anti-LGBT statements under the guise of "religious freedom" Thursday at the National Prayer Breakfast, including praise for Karen Pence for teaching at a Christian school that bars LGBT students and teachers.
In his introductory remarks at the annual event, Trump pointed out the second lady and said, "She just went back to teaching art classes at a Christian school. Terrific woman."
The Christian school where Karen Pence has returned to teach, Immanuel Christian School in Springfield, Va., was found to have anti-LGBT policies, generating controversy and anger in the LGBT community over the second lady's decision to return there after 12 years.
The school — which declares in employment application "homosexual acts and lifestyles are clearly perversion and reprehensible in the sight of God"— bars admissions of students if their home condones being LGBT and refuses to employ LGBT teachers. (Vice President Mike Pence has called criticism of the school "deeply offensive.")
The National Prayer Breakfast, hosted by the Christian organization called The Fellowship Foundation, has been controversial because of ties to anti-LGBT advocates, but has traditionally enjoyed bipartisan support.
Former President Obama spoke at the event during his administration. This year, speakers included Sens. Chris Coons (D-Del.) and Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) as well as Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.).
But Trump's veiled anti-LGBT comments at the National Prayer Breakfast — where in an ironic misspeak he credited people of faith for achievements including "the abolition of civil rights" — weren't limited to a reference to Karen Pence's school.
Trump also said to "ensure that people of faith can always contribute to society my administration has taken historic action to protect religious liberty," using a phrase that's code in social conservative circles to mean anti-LGBT discrimination.
The administration's actions on "religious freedom" include guidance from the Justice Department widely seen as a green light from the U.S. government for businesses and individuals to refuse to services to LGBT people. Also, critics say the Conscience & Religious Freedom Division within the Department of Health & Human Services enables medical practitioners to decline to perform gender reassignment surgery or treat people with HIV.
Trump made a reference to one "religious freedom" action from his administration in particular, the decision of the Department of Health & Human Services to grant a waiver to taxpayer-funded South Carolina adoption agencies exempting them from regulations barring discrimination.
"My administration is working to ensure that faith-based adoption agencies are able to help vulnerable children find their forever families while following their deeply held beliefs," Trump said.
As a result of the waiver Trump referenced, faith-based adoption agencies in South Carolina are now able to refuse child placements in families that conflict with their religious beliefs, including LGBT homes. Among them is Miracle Hill Ministries, which sought the waiver.
Lucas Acosta, director of LGBTQ media for the Democratic National Committee, criticized Trump for invoking "religious freedom" to support adoption agencies seeking to engage in anti-LGBT discrimination.
"President Trump has yet again attacked LGBTQ people, this time at the expense of children in need of a home," Acosta said. "With more than 400,000 children in foster care nationwide, Trump should focus on increasing the placement of children with qualified potential parents, not supporting state-funded discrimination against LGBTQ families. Every child deserves a home, and every qualified person seeking to adopt deserves to be considered."

Graduate Research Assistant and GHF Chair, 2012–2013
Encounters Known and Strange: Coercion, Violence and the Politics of Defining Rape in America, 1945-1996
My dissertation explores a fundamental shift in the way sexual coercion was understood, from the post World War II period to the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY). It challenges the idea that sexual violence was discovered" by feminists during the sexual revolution by revealing a longer history of debate over the meaning of coercion itself. Moreover, it argues that feminist attempts to expand the legal definition of "rape" ultimately excluded other forms of coercion from the discourse of sexual violence. Beginning with the academic and popular debates over coercion in the pre-sexual revolution era and ending with American involvement in the first ever rape-as-a-war-crime trials at ICTY, my dissertation traces the consolidation of sexual coercion into sexual violence and the subsequent feminist mobilization of "violence against women" into international human rights forums.

Ryan Braun screws his fantasy owners
Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun was suspended for the rest of the season, and I want to know what evidence MLB had on him that he decided to "take" the 65 game suspension.
Share All sharing options for: Ryan Braun screws his fantasy owners
Remember this? Yeah, Braun isn't talking to the media today. Shocking.
Norm Hall
Ryan Braun is a liar. There I feel better now.
I, like many of you drafted Braun in the first round of one of my NL only leagues this season. Actually, I drafted him first overall. In this league we pick numbers out of a hat which determine not where we draft, but determines the order of where we choose to pick. So, I grabbed the #5 out of the hat, figuring I would pick 5th. Well, the owners who grabbed numbers 1-4 out of the hat did not choose to pick first overall. They were smart. I was not. I was laughing that I picked #5 and still got to pick #1 overall. And I picked Braun. Now who's laughing? All of the other owners in my league. It really doesn''t matter much anyways, as the rest of my draft didn't go well either, and I am currently in 10th place out of 11 teams.
Anyway, MLB got back at Braun for him getting off when he tested positive two years ago and beat the system due to a technicality. Braun was suspended by MLB today for his transactions with Biogenesis. Here is the official statement from MLB, along with Braun's statement:
Commissioner Allan H. (Bud) Selig announced today that Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun has been suspended without pay for the remainder of the 2013 Championship Season and Postseason for violations of the Basic Agreement and its Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program. The suspension of Braun is effective immediately.
Ryan Braun said: "As I have acknowledged in the past, I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions. This situation has taken a toll on me and my entire family, and it is has been a distraction to my teammates and the Brewers organization. I am very grateful for the support I have received from players, ownership and the fans in Milwaukee and around the country. Finally, I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed — all of the baseball fans especially those in Milwaukee, the great Brewers organization, and my teammates. I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love."
"We commend Ryan Braun for taking responsibility for his past actions," said Rob Manfred, Executive Vice President, Economics & League Affairs for Major League Baseball. "We all agree that it is in the best interests of the game to resolve this matter. When Ryan returns, we look forward to him making positive contributions to Major League Baseball, both on and off the field."
I think they had so much evidence on Braun that he decided to take a plea bargain which suspended him for the rest of the season, effective immediately. I think if he would have appealed and lost, the suspension would have been much longer. He is smart for taking the plea. The dirt on him may, or may not, still come out. But, he save face this time, but he has tarnished his image forever. Maybe that has already happened, but I am sure many fans out there thought he was really innocent.
There are more suspensions to come. ESPN's T.J. Quinn tweeted the following regarding Alex Rodriguez:
Source also tells OTL evidence provided about A-Rod is "far beyond" what Bosch gave them re Braun.
— T.J. Quinn (@TJQuinnESPN) July 22, 2013
A-Rod will be a different story. MLB's case against him includes possibility he interfered with investigation. They'll go after him harder.
I wonder if ARod will appeal or take his suspension, which could be longer than Braun's, per Quinn.
For fantasy purposes, there is no way to replace Braun's production, so drop me a question in the comments section with who is available on your league waiver wire, and I can assist in helping in your decision.
Hey, leave a comment on your feelings about the Braun suspension as well.

Grocery unique depot > Blog > Vitamin D > Trump's threat to close the border was just a trap for Democrats – Washington Examiner
Trump's threat to close the border was just a trap for Democrats – Washington Examiner
President Trump had been vocally considering shutting down the southern border until he scaled back slightly on Thursday, giving Mexico one year to decide whether or not they'll comply with his demands. His White House team probably talked him back from the ledge, since it seems he's the only one in his own administration willing to take such a drastic step.
Indeed, senior staffers and Department of Homeland Security officials view closing ports of entry, what Trump calls a border shutdown, as a method of "last resort." It's not often that Trump entirely turns his back on his administration's 2 cents, but when he does, it's generally over immigration. This isn't the first threat of this nature from Trump, and surely it won't be the last, because, as is evident by his recent backtrack, the president's not actually serious about shutting down the border. He really just wants the immigration debate to be framed in his favor. He hopes this will all be seen as a dichotomy between his pro-American immigration policy and the Democrats' anti-American one.
It's easy to see how empty Trump's threat was: If he were to actually close the border, there would be dire economic consequences. It's estimated there's $1.5 billion worth of commerce occurring along the southern border every day. Meanwhile, from an immigration standpoint, nearly 500,000 people cross the border legally each day, and that's just through Texas ports. With a border closure, shipments of vegetables and other goods would be halted, truck drivers blocked and stranded, and tourists denied passage of any kind. Trump loves to claim credit for the strong economy, but if he were to close the border, a plunge in stocks would most certainly follow.
It would punish a lot of innocent people, and Trump knows it. Following through on this threat as a political statement would have been extremely costly for Trump. But a claim like this one does force the Democrats who are running for president to reveal their stance on immigration, opening them up to attacks from Trump.
After all, President Trump's 2016 campaign relied on the anxieties of middle America over immigrants taking jobs. He likely won't stray from this strategy for the 2020 election, which is news to no one, including Democrats. But as Trump opponents elaborate on their positions in response to his pressure, the president is hoping they fall into his rhetorical trap by labeling themselves as open-border activists or "soft on crime" for their tolerance toward illegal immigration.
Trump recently unleashed a characteristic Twitter storm on the subject, prompting Democratic presidential hopefuls Beto O'Rourke, the former congressman from Texas, and Julián Castro, the former secretary of Housing and Urban Development under President Barack Obama, to respond with their own sweeping immigration plans. For his part, Castro divulged that he wouldn't consider an immigrant entering the U.S. without papers, no matter the circumstance, a federal crime. Trump will have a field day tearing down this proposal by attempting to rely on his "tough on crime" mentality, even though the electorate has steered away from this Reagan-era viewpoint.
O'Rourke is a native of El Paso, Texas, a city experiencing overcrowding due to customs and Border Patrol agents being reassigned to take care of unauthorized migrants. O'Rourke has highlighted Trump's naive understanding on this matter by emphasizing that immigration policy is actually heavily tied to foreign policy, a reality Trump likes to avoid, evidenced by his recent call to cut off aid to Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador, which would only exacerbate the flow of immigrants toward our borders.
One other presidential hopeful, Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., already tried to distance herself from Trump by passionately advocating for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients, known as "Dreamers." On April 3, she introduced a bill to Congress, perhaps intended to differentiate herself from primary opponent O'Rourke, that would allow "Dreamers" to work as staffers or interns in Congress.
The immigration debate will be the main focus of the 2020 election, which means Democrats must fine-tune their positions on immigration in order not to fall into Trump's rhetorical trap. But we should all remember that Trump's first two years of hard-line stances on immigration hasn't actually alleviated the biggest source of conservative apprehension: the surge in migration. In fact, March 2019 saw the highest migrant rate since 2008.
Who knows, Trump could easily be provoked once again to follow through on his threat, even if his original intent was to force Democrats to show their cards. But if he does, he's not going to do anything but hurt his chances at a 2020 victory — and the everyday Americans he claims to champion.

"FRISCO" 30 year old (approximately) grade Bay Quarter horse. Taught many people to ride, but now is only pasture sound. Requires supplements for his arthritis/old age issues. Very gentle with people and will do anything asked. He is the leader of the herd, but is very kind and forgiving. Bonded very strongly to Mabelline.
"All For Honour & Cowboy"
Gentle towards people and other horses he was a personal rescue 19 months ago. He was ridden and my daughter would walk and lunge him. He is in much improved health and sound, especially given his past condition.
We came by Bruce unaware, as our special needs daughter performed her own personal rescue from a farm near Harvard in January, 2015. We were unaware of the rescue, until we got a bill for transport and boarding from a stable in Hampshire! Bruce was in very poor condition from neglect, and it was touch and go as to whether he would survive. After a few months in Hampshire, we had him transferred to Silver Fern Stables outside of Woodstock, where under the care of stable owner, Keith McConnell, and Dr. Rachel Kane, Bruce made remarkable progress."
20+ years old 16 hand OTTB gelding.
Broke to ride but hasn't been ridden in a few years ( pleasure/ trail).
Sound and in good health.
Stands fine for farrier and vet.
Gets along fine with other horses in paddock.
I'm in need of a good home for Albany where he'll be loved and spoiled. I've moved out of state so I can no longer get out to see him. And unfortunately I don't have the means to care of him along with the cost of boarding him.
"Today, Bruce is still at Silver Fern Stables, and in good health. He is a sweet, gentle, horse, who can be ridden (though he has not been in about 6 months or so)."
"As we also discussed, Shelby is Special Needs, on the spectrum, and our focus now is getting her independence. She has recently moved out on her own, with our support, which is going to require a lot of our financial resources going forward. As such, we just simply cannot continue to pay the board for Bruce, and are looking for a good home for him. We are offering him at no charge of course, and can assist, if needed with transportation cost to his new location. I have attached a few photos, along with a statement from Shelby about her horse. I have also included contact information for his current stable, as well as for his vet."
I feel in love with my little pony the moment I first saw him. I knew that with love and care and a new home, he could be a great horse. He is very sweet, gentle and smart. I loved just spending time with him, riding in the arena, going for walks or sitting in the pasture beside him while he grazed. He is also a good sport, allowing me to dye his mane, give him hair (mane) cuts, and putting on fun and silly colored wraps on his legs. He will make a great pony and companion for his next owner.
Princess is a former beginner lesson horse whom I adopted from the program in November of 2015 after it was deemed she was no longer suitable for the program. Unfortunately, due to no fault of her own but personal financial constraints and a job loss, we are no longer able to provide boarding and proper care for her.
Princess is the 'Steady Eddy' type with a sweet, laid back, mellow personality. She was always the go to horse for children's birthday parties, pony rides, grooming, painting, you name it. She is familiar and comfortable with large crowds, small children, walkers/wheelchairs, erratic movement, side walkers and dogs/cats, etc. She doesn't easily spook and not much rattles her.
There's nothing she loves more than being around people and being loved on. She's patient, tolerant, and forgiving but still full of life, willing, and strives to maintain boss mare status among her herd mates.
She has been ridden both English and Western. However she is hard to fit due to her 'stocky' nature. She is in the process of losing weight but has a ways to go. She moves out alone and enjoys leisurely trail rides. Due to her various medical conditions, she would only be suited for light riding at a walk. She is currently lame at a trot. Therefore, she is not a suitable candidate for a lesson program or therapeutic riding program.
"ROONEY" ( Hes Dun To Tuff APHA) (DOB 2004) Red Dun [overo] gelding. Approximately 14.2h. Very sweet and personable boy, but can occasionally be a little unpredictable. Can be head shy (had painful aural plaques in his ears as a yearling and never got over it). He responds well to a quiet and gentle manner, and was started lightly as a two year old and saw some trail riding. In 2010 he had an additional 30 training. He will need a serious refresher but has great potential.
"Patty is a sorrel mare born 4/28/90, with the name of "Negotiable Patty", registration # 2903799 of the American Quarter Horse Association. Her markings are : star, strip, and snip. Socks on fore feet, left hind sock, right hind stocking. She was purchased by our uncle from Patrick J McMahon of Mass Quarter Horses of Dundee, Illinois on 7/3/95.
"MAYBELLINE" (Sparkling In Lace APHA) (DOB 2005) 15 h. Sorrel [overo] mare. Limited showing in halter as a yearling. Has been saddled, but not started under saddle. Will lunge. Loads/ties/clips/bathes. Can be a tad halter shy. Responds well to quiet and gentle touch and wants to please under these conditions.
Additional: I no longer have space to keep her and I hope she finds a loving home that willType your paragraph here.
"Handsome" (DOB 2005) Chestnut Sabino Spotted Saddle/Racking Horse Gelding 16h.
(Twin brother to Mariah) Could be SSHBEA and possibly RHBAA but never sent in papers.
Was started under saddle as a five year old, but will pretty much need a restart.
Was ridden on trails 20 plus years ago, otherwise was a pasture mate with Buck.
Only halter broken, but very friendly with people (has only ever been with Patty as a pasture mate).
Located in Elgin, IL, property is for sale and the owner recently died. The family left has very little horse experience and cannot keep them once the property sells.
Health issues: Princess is an IR (insulin resistant) horse who is currently about 200 lbs overweight. She suffers from chronic, recurrent lameness as well as moderate osteoarthritis and a suspected old soft tissue injury in LF. Because of her conditions, she shouldn't be confined to a stall, but also needs limited access to pasture or must wear a grazing muzzle.
His name is AKF Knight Force, but I call him Bandit. He is a full Arab, 14.1+ hands, gelding, bay and will soon be 28 years old. He has been used strictly as a pleasure/trail horse, no showing. He would make a wonderful companion animal and could be kept with most any horse but an overly aggressive type. He has been out to pasture and rarely ridden in 14 years. He has a steady temperament and has never been a problem with the vet or farrier. He doesn't have any known health issues other than old age and the loss of most of his teeth. He will munch on grass or hay but spits it out. He needs to be kept on senior feed. I have owned him since he was a yearling. He is a sweet old boy and it breaks my heart that in retirement I can simply no longer afford to take care of him."
All For Honour 10 year old bay mare (blaze face) Tb very healthy raced 9 times last race 5-20-12 had a bad foaling 2 years ago, not suitable for breeding. Should be sound for light riding but has not been ridden since 2012. Had an old back end injury, undiagnosed in 2012, is sound in pasture. Very active in pasture runs and plays with 3 other mares, easy to work around, has alot of energy, not suitable for beginner.
Cowboy, 20 year old Quarter horse, healthy, pasture sound, has not been ridden for about 6 years except short time at a therapeutic riding center last year, was doing fine but then got annoyed at side handlers and was sent back. Used to be 4H horse and also used as pony horse at racetrack. Was good to ride in group, did not like going out by self.Very easy keeper, has not had shoes on in years but was shod in front when was ridden. Turned out with a pony currently. Has been sound but will get a little foot sore after trimming.

Bismarck's sausage
Law and sausages. Everyone knows Otto von Bismarck's famous, perhaps apocryphal, observation that you don't want to see either being made. Compressing mechanically-recovered meat slurry into more or less edible bangers can't be pretty. Legislation's gruesome aspect comes in different forms. Compromised, unprincipled, and sometimes just dawg gawn incoherent - some of the Acts emerging from parliament require a strong stomach or a crippling cynicism fully to appreciate. But Bismarck was an authoritarian old sod, and in any case, a certain messiness is democratic. Consensus is hard won, and often better reflects and accommodates disparate strands of opinion than a pristine conceptual scheme, sprung from a single head.
Sometimes though, it isn't just the process which makes you queasy, but the outcome. Sometimes, neither the law nor the sausage comes up to snuff. In some respects, I'm beginning to wonder whether Holyrood's Scottish Independence Referendum Act of 2013 is one of the duds. A few weeks by, I suggested that one significant problem with the legislation is that it hasn't been drafted in full appreciation of the disparate nature of the Yes campaign and the range of citizen-led organisations involved. There are now signs that the Act also seriously fails to take the digital context of the campaign properly into account.
Recently developments have crystallised those anxieties. The Electoral Commission have issued this guidance for campaigners in the referendum. It isn't aimed only at those organisations who've signed up for "permitted participant" status and gained the right to spend up to £150,000 in the campaign, but at the whole gamut of campaigners in this poll, which is to say, everybody agitating for one side or the other. It made me go back to the legislation, where I made this startling discovery.
Paragraph 27 of Schedule 4 regulates any and all publications during the referendum's regulated period - which we're just entering. On penalty of criminal prosecution, material "wholly or mainly relating to the referendum" - whether printed or online - is not to be published unless it is accompanied by the name and address of the individual or organisation promoting it. Failure to comply can attract a fine of anything up to £5,000. So what's this about? On the one hand, this rule has obvious applications. It wouldn't be transparent or fair, for example, for a shadowy organisation agitating for a No vote to distribute obnoxious fliers, purportedly from the Yes campaign, with a view to buggering up their opponent's case and cultivating a false and negative impression of its argument. And fair enough as far as it goes. But the rule set out in the legislation goes way beyond this.
What is moderately disturbing about this requirement to publish your name and address is that - legally - it is not limited in application to Yes Scotland and Better Together, to political parties, or to "permitted participants" like Women for Independence or Vote No Borders. Its strictures attach to any published material "wholly or mainly relating to the referendum." That means that it covers tweets, facebook posts - the whole gamut of social media, in fact - which is made "available to the public at large, or any section of the public, in whatever form and by whatever means" and which "relates wholly or mainly to the referendum." Given the popularity of these sites, chances are, it means you and anything you write or say on them about the September poll. Which is mental.
In its new guidance, the Electoral Commission suggest that campaigners embed an "imprint" of this information on their Twitter profile using a link-shrinker. But understandably, few folk discussing this online are liable to be particularly keen to broadcast their location and sometimes their identity to heaven knows who. When this came up on twitter yesterday afternoon, a number of folk protested that these rules apply only to registered campaigners. But look at the Act. You'll find nothing in there restricting these publishing rules to the bigger campaigning organisations.
Indeed, the opposite is true. The legislation specifically limits the application of some of the rules to registered campaigns. For example, the duty to report donations over £500 doesn't attach to unregistered individual and bodies who don't intend to spend more than £10,000 in promoting their preferred referendum outcomes. We find no such specification when it comes to these publishing rules. Applying ordinary principles of statutory construction, that means that the requirement to attach your name and address to referendum publications, in principle, attaches to anyone and everyone. The explanatory notes accompanying the Act (particularly paragraphs 185 to 186) support this broad reading of the provisions, as extending beyond the bigger campaigning bodies.
The upshot? Every idle, inane, unserious tweet touching on the poll seems to count as a publication under the legislation. Every twitterer, or facebook user who shares thoughts "wholly or mainly relating to the referendum", without telling the whole world where they stay, is violating the law of the land and at-risk of being screwed out of five grand. In practice? There's a snowball's chance in hell that the Electoral Commission will enforce the law as passed to its full extent, stifling free expression and interfering inordinately with peoples' privacy. The Commission indicates in its guidance that it "will not usually consider taking enforcement action where it is clear from the document who is responsible for its production." While you can work out my identity from my profile, the same doesn't go for many other, perfectly civilised, bloggers and tweeters involved in the referendum debate. What of them?
It is all very well for the Electoral Commission to work around the law's absurd breadth and lack of social media savvy - but why the devil didn't it occur to our politicians, when passing this Act, to factor in the contemporary realities of the online dimension, which feature so prominently in the #indyref debate? The provisions in the Scottish legislation are substantially based on a piece of Westminster legislation which is now almost a decade and a half old, pre-dating the rise of facebook and twitter's flourishing. Why didn't our MSPs take free expression seriously enough, to affect a work-around and to reflect the new age of mass citizen "publishers" with a thing or two to say about political affairs?
Applying the legislation in practice, I find it impossible to believe that the Commission will despatch its inquisitors to winkle out the identities of folk like @loveandgarbage. Individuals wittering about the referendum will almost certainly avoid being fleeced in the courts for their failure to comply with the law. But that is what the law Holyrood adopted to regulate this referendum enshrines.
Several areas of civil and criminal justice now struggle to keep up or cope with recent developments in social media. As the Sally Bercow-Lord McAlpine set-to demonstrated, the circulation of rumour dovetails untidily with the assumptions undergirding defamation law in the UK. Our legislation on contempt of court has been put under significant pressure by jurors' ability to research the accused person they are trying with a couple of clicks of a button. But given the prominence of social media in this campaign, it is disappointing and distressing to see Holyrood unimaginatively adopting such an outmoded and cavalier approach to the liberties of participants in this debate. This is one dodgy sausage.

Not a problem, Doug. Under the Scotland Act, Holyrood's power to legislate extra-territorially is limited. If you are based outside of the UK, you can tweet what you damn well like, untroubled by the Electoral Commission or anybody else.

I notice you haven't added the sentence "Promoted by ..." anywhere on this blog -- all I can see is an email address. Do you think that would in general be considered to be sufficient?
According to the Commission Guidance, they indicate that they will not generally consider taking enforcement action where it can be apprehended who has produced the referendum material. In your case and mine, I'd say that that information is accessible - but I'm not intending on publishing my address. That's an entirely unreasonable provision.
Clarinda 2 June 2014 at 12:08
My grandfather refused to eat sausages - referring to them as "mystery bags". You have exposed Holyrood swallowing this particular banger whole.
Mmmhmm. Mystery bags. With onion gravy and tatties.
If this law is a sausage, I think that the new Google "right to be forgotten" is a deep-fried black pudding.
It's good that you're highlighting this threat to freedom of speech, and, to put it in historical context, if there had been an independence referendum in 1820, Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine could not have relied upon anonymous contributions and the whole enterprise would have been finished. "The author of Waverley" might have been a bit unhappy as well.
I haven't been following the "right to be forgotten" stuff in detail - but it is an interesting thing, how badly law is coping with the challenges of the new digital domain. PPERA, which the referendum legislation is based on, was passed in 2000 - but because it predates twitter and ye olde book of faces, it takes no account of them, reconstructing the cheerfully inane twitterer as a "publisher", by the breadth of the definitions it uses. And PPERA was meant to stand the test of time.

Princess Mary tests positive for COVID-19
By MiNDFOOD	| December 16, 2021
Denmark's Princess Mary has tested positive for COVID-19.
The Australian-born royal is isolating in a wing of the Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen.
No other members of the royal family have tested positive, according to a statement from the royal court.
"In connection with the test result, the Royal House of Denmark is receiving advice from the Danish Patient Safety Authority concerning detection of infection," the statement read.
"The Crown Princess will remain in isolation until it is once again safe to end the isolation according to the applicable guidelines."
It comes after Denmark recorded its highest ever daily case number of Tuesday, with 8314 infections.
It's more than double the country's last daily case record, which was 4034 last December.
Denmark has announced extra restrictions to battle the surging case numbers caused by the Omicron variant.

There's a place just three hours north of Denver that beckons RV travelers to escape late summer's oppressive heat. The deep-forest and lakeside campgrounds of Wyoming's Medicine Bow National Forest are ringed by snowcapped peaks, steeped in Native American lore and perfectly positioned for maximum outdoor recreation.
Sound like the kind of place you'd like to spend late summer experiencing? Don't hesitate to make plans, as most campgrounds in this national forest are only open through mid-September. But there's still time to park the RV beneath the trees and absorb the cool, green wonders of Medicine Bow.
Camp at Vedauwoo Recreation Area, just twenty miles east of Laramie, WY on I-80. The campground is surrounded by enormous granite formations, with unforgettable views of the Snowy Range. The National Park Service has taken great pains to create a comfortable campground that manages to seem wild and remote.
What to do while camping at Vedauwoo? Go mountain biking on Turtle Rock Trail, hike the more than twenty miles of trails through high meadows and subalpine forests (not to mention taking in the rock formations all around you), or take a quick drive over to the Ames Monument "Pyramid" on the other side of I-80.
Did we mention that Medicine Bow NF stretches out for a million acres in southern Wyoming? That's why it's possible to camp at places like Silver Lake Campground, eighteen miles east of Centennial on WY-130 (also known as the Snowy Range Scenic Byway) and feel like you've left civilization behind. This small, well-planned campground at just over ten thousand feet elevation is only open July to September, making it the perfect late summer refuge.
If you choose Silver Lake as your Medicine Bow RV camping base, the sky's the limit for outdoor recreation. Hikers will enjoy the short but awesomely scenic trail around the lake and trails to special places like Lake Marie Falls. There's also a trail up Medicine Bow Peak, where you can hike as far as your expertise allows (snow and ice even in mid-June, some scrambling across boulder fields near the summit), with magnificent views of the Smoky Range at every level.
Silver Lake itself is popular with 'belly boat' fishermen and kayakers, too, so bring the watercraft if that's your passion.
Speaking of fishing, the small Sugarloaf campground tucked into the spruce and pine forests on Libby Lake offers campers the chance to fish two clear, snowmelt lakes—Libby Lake and Lewis Lake—for brook trout and splake.
Popular trailheads in the Sugarloaf area invite hikers to explore the forest or hike the slopes of Sugarloaf Mountain. Great vacation photos guaranteed!
Whether escaping the late summer heat for you means relaxing in a quiet forest campground, hiking to a mountain summit or fishing and paddling your way across an alpine lake, Medicine Bow National Forest is the place to be.
Pick up a Denver RV rental and head north to Wyoming. The Smoky Range is waiting to fulfill your late summer, RV camping dreams.

What It Takes to be an RA and How You Can Be One Too
Posted on November 28, 2018 by Quincy Fuehne	Leave a comment
By: Quincy Fuehne
Senior Brittany Bentley became an Resident Advisor (RA) after following a friend around on duty.
"I would see her helping people in unique ways," Bentley said. "I really liked how she was there for them in ways nobody else could be and I wanted to be that for people."
This is Bentley's second year as an RA. She was an RA her junior year and now serves in the Student Living Center (SLC).
"I get enjoyment out of helping others," Bentley said.
Bentley found that being an RA has helped her develop more than one skill that will help her in her future career. She is currently in nursing school and has already begun applying these skills.
"It teaches you conflict resolution and how to deal with situations that a normal day doesn't consist of," Bentley explained.
In the hospital, Bentley has to deal with conflicts between the patient and family or the care team and patient.
Being an RA has also helped her with following up with patients.
As an RA she tries to follow up with residents who she knows filed a maintenance request. She wants to make sure the request was fulfilled.
In the hospital, she uses this follow through skill with patients who receive, for example, pain medicine. She wants to ensure that the medication is working like it is supposed to.
RAs should come in with some skills, but not all RAs can be the same. Junior RA Kay Bettendorf says not all of them can be vocal leaders.
"If you have a ton of bulls in the room, it's like going to be a bull in a china shop. It's going to crash stuff down," Bettendorf said.
Leadership and teamwork are two qualities that are important for an RA to have, and with that comes confidence. While Bettendorf says she is not the most creative person, she has to use creativeness with this job to put on events (programs) and decorate the halls, like making door decorations.
RAs are required to put on two programs each semester for the students. Some past programs include a midnight breakfast, movie nights, open mic nights and pumpkin painting for Halloween.
These events are for all students, but some students say they don't have enough time in their day to participate. For Noah Randall, school and volleyball take up most of his day.
"Typically when I do have free time I don't spend it going to these activities, I spend it resting here (in my room), doing homework and stuff like that," Randall said.
Even though Randall does not typically attend programs, he is thankful that the RAs are there to keep people safe and to help him when he locks himself out of his room.
RAs are on duty on weekdays from 8 p.m. to midnight and on weekends from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.
They begin duty by calling into security and the Resident Director (RD) on call so both know who is on duty in each hall.
While on duty, RAs have to go on rounds throughout the night.
"I usually vary the times I go on rounds just to mix it up and make sure I don't miss anything," Bentley said.
She makes sure all doors are locked and that the residents are being respectful of each other.
At the end of the night, the RA documents anything that happened while on duty, if anything.
With being a nursing student, Bentley no longer has any classes at QU. Therefore, it would typically be harder for her to make relationships with other students outside of the nursing community.
"This is my true tie to QU, besides my clubs and organizations. It's just a way for me to get to meet more people and get to know others," Bentley said.
Students who are interested in following in Bentley and Bettendorf's footsteps are in luck. The Office of Student Development is starting the hiring process for student leaders on campus for the 2019-2020 school year.
On November 7 students received emails with applications and information to be RAs and Orientation Leaders. Both positions are open to all current students.
Orientation Leaders are apart of the Orientation Team that help with new student orientations in the summer and spring. They ensure new students have a smooth transition into the university whether they are freshmen or a transfer student.
Students who submit an application should be engaged at the university, engaging as a person and positive. The Office of Residence Life will check GPAs and conduct records of all applicants. Orientation Leaders have to maintain at least a 3.5 GPA.
It is required that the student be available for the Group Interview Day that takes place in the spring. They also have to participate in spring training which takes place on six Fridays from 12:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Orientation Leaders also attend Hawk Preview Days in the summer. Applicants are required to provide their availability for dates. It is stated on the application that "applications will be prioritized by applicant availability".
Students should contact Andrea Gruger if they have questions about the Orientation Leader position.
The RA application that was sent out is more lengthy than the former application. It asks the applicant more subjective questions.
Some questions ask the applicants campus involvement and commitments and awards and achievements, while other questions ask what the applicant thinks will be the most rewarding and challenging part of the job.
Like an Orientation Leader applicant, RAs must maintain a specific GPA and are required to attend certain interview and training days. Those dates will be provided to applicants at a later date.
RAs are student leaders who strive for personal and interpersonal excellence by building relationships and communities in the residence halls.
Both applications have a strict deadline of December 14.

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a type of anxiety disorder involving two elements: obsessions and compulsions.
Obsessions are repetitive unwanted thoughts that make you feel anxious. Compulsions are repetitive behaviours and rituals.
With OCD you feel as if you have to complete these rituals or behaviours, otherwise something bad will happen.
Performing the compulsions can temporarily reduce anxiety you feel with OCD in certain situations.
The causes are not fully understood. Research suggests that OCD may be related to chemical, structural, and functional abnormalities in the brain.
OCD affects people from all different backgrounds, classes, cultures, sexes and intelligence levels. Approximately 2-3% of people in Ireland experience OCD.
With OCD you experience some obsessive thoughts and a particular compulsion. However, the intensity and frequency can vary, and it's not uncommon for it to be worse when you are particularly stressed (eg exam time, relationship problems).
a sense of shame (and a wish to hide your OCD from others).
OCD may affect other parts of your life too, finding you're not able to enjoy things you normally would. You may feel the need to escape or numb overwhelming feelings by abuse of drugs or alcohol.
There are a number of different approaches to treating OCD. Using a combination of these may be the most effective.
A doctor, psychologist or other health professional talks with the person about their symptoms, and discusses alternative ways of thinking about and coping with them.
There are many support groups available for people with OCD where you can discuss experiences with others who have been through similar ones.
You can ask your local doctor, psychologist or psychiatrist if they know of any or contact your local community health centre. OCD Ireland have more information on getting help and support.
You might like to write in a diary, or use an online journal.
Go for a run or walk in the park to use up excess energy.
The mobile phone game Angry Birds has been proven to help with moments of anxiety and can provide a distraction until the feeling passes.
At the top of your voice on your own, or to music – don't worry about the lyrics.
Activities like yoga or meditation are often helpful in reducing anxiety.
Talk with a trusted friend or contact a support service like Samaritans by phoning 116 123 or emailing jo@samaritans.org for free and confidential support.
In some cases, medication may be helpful, however this is something that you need to discuss with a psychiatrist or psychologist. Certain drugs help the brain to restore its usual chemical balance and help control the obsessions and compulsions.
Changes in behaviour don't happen overnight and it might take some time before all OCD symptoms go away.
Contact OCD Ireland, an organisation that helps people with the disorder, and families of people with OCD, by providing information and links to support groups and hosts online support forums.
A psychologist quoted on OCD Ireland also recommends the following books: Overcoming Obsessive Compulsive Disorder by David Veale, and Stop Obsessing! By Edna B. Foa and Reid Wilson.

Q: SQL Server Reporting Service Connection Error I am trying to connect to ssrs using C#, I wrote the following code:

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 197.50.102.166:443

How can I prevent calling port 443 and call only port 80?

A: I found this answer to a similar problem helpful.
The "ReportServerUrl" property should be set to the SSRS Web Service URL rather than the Report Manager URL. This means that instead of using the URL that you would browse to when viewing the report, which is typically configured as http://<reportserver>/reports, you should use something like http://<reportserver>/reportserver.

But lately, it has fallen into disrepair. Wilson, who does not describe himself as alt-right, said he has accepted that building a viable alt-tech business might be impossible, given the practical constraints. Far-right activists have been trying to build alternative tech platforms for years, with little success. A decade ago, white nationalist websites with names like New Saxon and PodBlanc sprang up to compete with Myspace, Friendster, and the other social giants of the era.
But most of those sites fizzled when their creators ran out of money or got into legal trouble. And none came close to reaching a large mainstream audience. Granted, it is still the early days for this new wave of services, which are coming of age during the Trump years and could benefit from changing norms around P. But Mark Pitcavage, who studies right-wing extremism at the Anti-Defamation League, told me that alt-tech companies face several structural barriers.
Not only do they have to build a compelling product and attract users — a steep challenge even in the best of circumstances — but they must do it without access to mainstream funding sources, such as venture capital firms and angel investors, which provide much of the fuel for other tech start-ups. They also rely on finding companies that are willing to host their services and process their payments. Wilson of Hatreon, using a popular Silicon Valley term for a star employee.
Alternative to Online Dating By: Patricia Biela From dining to dating, the microwave generation wants everything in an instant. Computers have greatly sped up our lives.
At least among straight couples, the act of getting hitched tends to follow a very specific script: That ring is almost always set with a diamond. What might come as a surprise to many couples is that this familiar engagement tradition is not much of a tradition at all. Thank a s De Beers ad campaign. That was the brainchild of a De Beers adwoman in and one reason why diamonds have terrible resale value. Now, the idea of breaking with custom—however tenuous its origins—may concern you. Here are seven great options to consider.
The fact that mined diamonds are literally millions and sometimes billions of years old is certainly romantic. The higher price tags on mined diamonds have more to do with sentiment and clever marketing than intrinsic value. Cultured diamonds also have less negative impact on the environment. Enter moissanite, a crystal that naturally occurs in meteorites, is nearly as hard, dense and scuff-resistant as a diamond, and actually has greater brilliance and fire gemologist jargon for sparkle and light-dispersion.

Jonah is mentioned four times in the Quran  and is the only one of the Twelve Minor Prophets to be mentioned by name. When he ran away like a slave from captivity to the ship fully laden, He agreed to cast lots, and he was condemned: Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. Had it not been that he repented and glorified Allah, He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.

Many women now wear hairpieces rather than full wigs if their hair loss is confined to the top and crown of their heads. Etymology[ edit ] According to various sources referenced by Dictionary. Use and attitudes in ancient history[ edit ] The desire for men to wear hairpieces is a response to a long-standing cultural bias against balding men that crosses cultures.

One researcher has noted that this is in part due to a shift in perceptions over the perceived value of aging that occurred at that time. Census generally shows far more year-olds than year-olds. Furthermore, the costume of men switched from a design clearly intended to make the young look older to one that was clearly intended to make the old look younger.
