Abingdon Abbey Buildings
The remains of the great Abbey of Abingdon, constisting of atmospheric medieval buildings, are the oldest buildings in the town. The Abbey was the 6th richest in England and one of the first to be demolished in the Reformation in 1538.

Brian E. Clark checks out the 12-foot propeller on the Frank O'Conner, a steamer that caught fire and sank in 1919 about 2.5 miles off the Cana Island lighthouse on the Door Peninsula.
Roger Rice says the Bermuda Triangle, that polygon in the western Atlantic reputed to occasionally gobble up ships and aircraft, "has got nothin' " on the storm-battered waters off Wisconsin's Door Peninsula.
"Lake Michigan was a nautical superhighway for schooners and freighters in the 1800s and early 1900s, and a lot of them (hundreds, in fact) went down on the shoals off Door County, at Death's Door on the tip of the peninsula and over in Green Bay," said Rice, a veteran scuba diver.
And while the boats and aircraft that (supposedly) went down in the Bermuda Triangle have never been found, there are at least three dozen ships that divers can explore off the Door Peninsula.
Some are in relatively shallow water so snorkelers can get an easy look, while others are more than 100 feet down, requiring scuba tanks and training.
The 69-year-old Rice - who lives at the tip of the peninsula in Gills Rock - got his scuba certification eight years ago after a trip to Hawaii to visit a son.
"It looked like so much fun that I had to try it, and I was a little peeved I couldn't dive with him because I didn't have my license," said Rice, who has logged more than 302 (and counting) dives since then off Door County and in California. He has no plans to slow down.
"There are wrecks out there all over the place," said Rice, whom I met while diving on the Frank O'Connor last summer. The O'Connor, a 300-foot wooden steamship, sank in 65 feet of water several miles off the Cana Island lighthouse. It was launched in 1892 and went down in 1919 after a fire.
"And really, the boats are what makes diving interesting because the bottom of the lake is so flat," he said. "It is really great to explore those old ships."
As we sped out to the wreck on a dive boat piloted by Jake Gransee, Rice said the O'Connor is one of his favorite wrecks because its two large boilers and a 12-foot propeller remain intact.
"The thing burned and went straight down," he said. "So the old steam engine is just sitting there on the bottom."
Some 30 minutes later, I was geared up in a hefty wet suit to keep out the Lake Michigan chill (it was about 50 degrees at 65 feet) and moving slowly down a buoy line toward the ship.
Just as Rice promised, the big propeller was still standing, connected to the steam engine.
Unfortunately, the wooden sides of the boat had collapsed over the years and lay spread out on the bottom. Pieces of shiny coal used to fire the boilers nearly 90 years ago were scattered nearby.
The O'Connor was constructed by shipbuilder James Davidson, who built freighters in the late 1800s when sailing was giving way to steamships. Davidson constructed his bulk carriers of wood rather than steel to save money. But they were fire traps, and nearly all ended up burning.
As Gransee and I swam along the ship for the next 30 minutes, we could see layers of zebra and quagga mussels covering nearly every section of exposed wood and metal.
Invaders from the Caspian and Black seas, these filter feeders are thought to have been brought to this country as ballast from tankers.
Since their colonization of the Great Lakes in the early 1990s, they have covered the undersides of docks, boats and anchors and spread into nearby streams.
Widely despised, they can grow so densely that they block pipelines and clog water intakes of municipal water supplies and power plants.
Authorities say zebra mussels are the source of deadly avian botulism that has killed tens of thousands of birds in the Great Lakes over the past 15 years.
Worse yet, they are also blamed for the near extinction of many species in the Great Lakes system by out-competing natives for food and by growing on top of and suffocating the native clams and mussels.
But - for divers anyway - they have an upside. Because they are filter feeders, they have greatly improved the visibility in the Great Lakes.
The change has been dramatic, said the 38-year-old Gransee, who began diving when he was 14.
There are billions of these mussels in the Great Lakes, and studies show that they can filter roughly a quart of water a day.
"When I first dove on the O'Connor back in 1994, it was great to have 30-foot visibility, and 40 feet was considered phenomenal," he said. "Now it's not unusual to be able to see 100 feet, and it's a bad day when you can't see at least 50 feet. That's a huge change in less than 20 years."
Gransee, who grew up in Baileys Harbor on the Lake Michigan side of the peninsula, said he began snorkeling around age 10 with a buddy.
"We went to a dive shop up in Gills Rock to get some gear and the owner drew us a map of some wrecks in shallow water of around 12 feet in Baileys Harbor," he recalled. "I forget the name of the boats, but after that, we were hooked."
A self-described history buff, Gransee said he enjoys researching the wrecks he's visited and imagining what the conditions were like when they went down in storms.
"I also like introducing people to wrecks they haven't seen before," added Gransee, who dubbed his dive charter operation "Dark Side" after the 1973 Pink Floyd album "Dark Side of the Moon."
Gransee said he often takes divers to the O'Connor and then returns to the warmer and shallower waters of Baileys Harbor to examine the Emeline, a 111-foot-long schooner that sank in 1896 in less than 20 feet of water.
"It's a nice wreck for beginners to explore, and the water is considerably warmer than down where the O'Connor is located, where it can drop into the 40s," he said.
Gransee said he and his diving friends are always looking for new wrecks.
"There's a lot out there that hasn't been discovered," said Gransee, who uses sonar to map possible dive sites. He plans on purchasing a "side scan" unit this summer that he said will "literally paint a picture of the bottom and really tell us what's down there.
"It would be great if we could find a new wreck in the 100- to 120-foot depth range," he mused. "That would really stimulate interest in diving up here again. It was more popular in the past. And way back in 1969, National Geographic did a big story on Door County and devoted a whole section to wreck diving."
In the meantime, he's content to lead customers to lakeside wrecks that start just a few miles south of Baileys Harbor and include the Ocean Wave, a scow schooner that sank in 110 feet of water in 1869.
And he can go 20 miles north to the infamous Death's Door, where three wrecks off Pilot Island went down so close together that they are touching each other.
He also dives to sunken ships on the Green Bay side of the peninsula and sometimes heads north to islands off Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
One of those schooners is the E.R. Williams, which sank in a storm in 110 feet of water off St. Martin Island in 1895. It was discovered in about 15 years ago by Bob Duchrow of Milwaukee, according to veteran dive operator Jim Robinson.
"You never know what will be found next," he said. "But this is a great place to dive, with wrecks ranging from the Meridian, a schooner that went down in 1873 off Sister Bay, to the Lakeland Car Ferry, which sank in 1929 off Sturgeon Bay."
Gransee said the E.R. Williams is almost entirely intact, with its masts lying on the deck.
"Even the bowsprit (the spar extending forward from the front of the boat) is upright," Gransee said. "It's in such good shape because it sank deep and fast.
"She'd been converted to carry stone and was being pulled by a tug that cut her free when a storm came up," he said. "She still had her masts and could be sailed, but she ended her career as a barge. That was the fate of a lot of schooners at the turn of the century."
Gransee said that while he still sees many recreational divers, the trend has been toward people getting more technical training.
"If we were to find a new wreck that was 200 to 240 feet down, I'd have no trouble finding divers who are interested in going to those depths," he said.

In Animacies, Mel Y. Chen draws on recent debates about sexuality, race, and affect to examine how matter that is considered insensate, immobile, or deathly animates cultural lives. Toward that end, Chen investigates the blurry division between the living and the dead, or that which is beyond the human or animal. Within the field of linguistics, animacy has been described variously as a quality of agency, awareness, mobility, sentience, or liveness. Chen turns to cognitive linguistics to stress how language habitually differentiates the animate and the inanimate. Expanding this construct, Chen argues that animacy undergirds much that is pressing and indeed volatile in contemporary culture, from animal rights debates to biosecurity concerns.
Chen's book is the first to bring the concept of animacy together with queer of color scholarship, critical animal studies, and disability theory. Through analyses of dehumanizing insults, the meanings of queerness, animal protagonists in recent Asian/American art and film, the lead in toys panic in 2007, and the social lives of environmental illness, Animacies illuminates a hierarchical politics infused by race, sexuality, and ability. In this groundbreaking book, Chen rethinks the criteria governing agency and receptivity, health and toxicity, productivity and stillness—and demonstrates how attention to the affective charge of matter challenges commonsense orderings of the world.
Mel Y. Chen is Assistant Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

Q: LoadRunner HTML Mode Scripts - Detailed Individual Response Times We have recorded Load Runner scripts for a web page using HTML mode and the script looks as below. In EXTRARES section; we have several JS/CSS & Image files (>100 requests) that are part of web page. This page is taking long time and we would like to identify which of the 100+ requests included in EXTRARES are causing for high response time. We are not able to find a way to get the response time of each request included in EXTRARES from LoadRunner. Is there anyway we can get granular details of how long each request in EXTRARES is taking?
web_url("hostname.com",
        "URL=http://hostname.com",
        "Resource=0",
        "RecContentType=text/html",
        "Referer=",
        "Snapshot=t1.inf",
        "Mode=HTML",
        EXTRARES,

        "Url=/styles/abc2.css", "Referer=http://hostname.com", ENDITEM,
LAST);

A: Record in URL mode and turn on automatic transactions for each request.  You will likely need to adjust the first value for each request action to normalize some of the request labels to be used for automatic transactions, for you may have some items requested multiple times resulting in labels such as "Foo," "Foo_1," "Foo_2..." as the same file is re-requested multiple times (such as a common stylesheet across pages).  in such a case simply normalize the labels, unless you really want to understand what happens for a particular page vs a particular request.

In this post we will be implementing Session Management using Spring Boot.
First let us have a look at what is session management and how can it be accomplished.
This tutorial is explained in the below Youtube Video.
We all know that HTTP is a stateless protocol. All requests and responses are independent. The server cannot distinguish between new visitors and returning visitors. But sometimes we may need to keep track of client's activity across multiple requests. This is achieved using Session Management. It is a mechanism used by the Web container to store session information for a particular user.
In this post we will be using Spring Session JDBC to store spring session information. By default Apache Tomcat stores HTTP session objects in memory.
Spring session replaces the HttpSession implementation by a custom implementation. To perform this task spring session creates a SessionRepositoryFilter bean named as springSessionRepositoryFilter.
We can add the items to be stored in the session. The Spring session created 2 tables for storing session related information.


You might be a kid who didn't eat well while you were young. Your mom might be worried about your health. Doctors might prescribe medicines to make you hungry and also suggest her to add egg and milk into your daily meal. Did you ever think why it is so? This is because of the presence of nutrients that are important for your growth in the egg. So, do you know how many calories are there in an egg? Some of you might be thinking why I should think about that.
But, it is not at all true. You must have a thorough knowledge about the food you eat. Likewise, you must be aware of how many calories in eggs. So that it helps to you to have a balanced diet even if you are a fat person. An egg is an important meal that contains various proteins and minerals; one must have to eat it raw or as boiled. The yolk of the egg is the most important material that must be included.
Basically, the contents of the egg vary along with the dish that is made with it. This will be depending upon the dish that we are preparing by using the egg. The egg contains calories as well as proteins. In a raw egg, it contains 75 calories and 6g. The number of calories rises as it is heated. When it is boiled or fried, the number of calories gradually rises. Let us see some examples. In an average boiled egg, there are 80 calories and 6g. In an egg that got fried in oil has got 120 calories and 6g.
But in the case of a scrambled egg, that is an egg got scrambled with milk will be having 170 calories and 14g proteins. For an omelette, it contains 128 calories and 10g proteins. For a combination of egg and cheese the number of calories will be 300 and 15g proteins. Finally, for a egg fried rice, the number of calories are 210 and the protein count will reach up to 6g.
The number of calories in the dishes will never be the same every time. This is because of the lack of accuracy in the number of calories for the ingredients. The number of calories can produce a very visible change in the body. The dishes like egg with fried rice are the favorite one in the south west Asia and Middle East. This is the reason why the doctors advice to reduce oily food and also the egg.

In 2011, I participated in a Wild Africa Trek. It was a fantastic adventure that I highly recommend!
I have arrived the Animal Kingdom prior to 7:30 a.m. when all of the parking lot tollgate booths are still closed. They open promptly at 7:30 a.m.
Buses begin picking up guests with early morning dining and tour reservations at 6:30 a.m. If you are waiting longer than 20 minutes, ask a Cast Member to call the Bus Operation Center. As soon as you board the bus, let the driver know where you are headed.
You might also want to take a taxi but time it so that you arrive the parking lot after 7:30 a.m.
Allow at least 30 minutes for the bus and 10 minutes for the taxi ride.

People from Lancashire and South Cumbria referred by their GP on to the programme - which will be delivered locally by Reed Momenta, a national provider of lifestyle and wellbeing programmes - will get tailored, personalised help to reduce their risk. This will include education on healthy eating and lifestyle choices, reducing weight through bespoke physical exercise programmes and portion control, which together have been proven to reduce the risk of developing the disease.
The programme, which is run collaboratively by NHS England, Public Health England and Diabetes UK, was officially launched last year, with the first wave made up of 27 areas and covering 26 million people - almost half of the country. The latest national figures reveal the programme is making good progress, with just under 50,000 people referred in Wave 1 and more than 18,000 on the programme in at the end of April. This exceeds the original target set in the NHS Mandate of 10,000 referrals during 2017/18.
Dr Rahul Thakur, GP lead for Diabetes in Pennine Lancashire, said: "This is fantastic news for people living in Blackburn with Darwen and East Lancashire who are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is largely preventable and people can significantly reduce their risk simply by making some small lifestyle changes.
Nearly 2.5 million adults and children in England diagnosed with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes will also benefit from around £42 million of national funding which will be used to advance the care and treatment local diabetes patients receive this year.
• increasing the uptake of structured education to help people look after themselves and stay healthy. This can improve glycaemic control and psychosocial wellbeing. Structured education is designed to help those people who have been newly diagnosed with diabetes and ensure that they are well informed and know how to look after themselves and stay healthy. The number of places offered will increase from 54,000 to 148,000.
• improving achievement of the NICE recommended treatment targets for controlling blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol. This can reduce the risk of complications such as kidney disease and renal failure, limb amputation and stroke and heart attacks.
• reducing the number of amputations by improving access to multi-disciplinary foot care teams in 50 parts of the country.
• reducing lengths of hospital stays by improving access to specialist inpatient access in 60 hospitals across England.
• new/expanded diabetes inpatient specialist nursing teams.
Andy Curran, Medical Director for Healthier Lancashire and South Cumbria, said: "An important aspect of the Sustainability and Transformation Partnership for Lancashire and South Cumbria is that our health and care services need to work together to support people in our communities to live longer and healthier lives - including those affected by or at risk of diabetes mellitus.

Cadence Weapon: Difference between Edmonton and Calgary? Edmonton wins
Author Canadian Premier League - Feed
Roland "Rollie" Pemberton, better known by his stage name Cadence Weapon, is a Canadian rapper, producer, author, and striker, who was literally educated on soccer. The once-shortlisted 2006 Polaris Music Prize nominee, who comes from a linage of both Canadian hip hop and Canadian sports royalty, loves his home city of Edmonton. There's no doubt of that from one glance of his lyrics. Now based in Toronto, Cadence Weapon took time to speak with CanPL.ca about what makes his city so much more different (and better) than Calgary, and where to get the best eats in town. CanPL.ca: What makes prairie or west coast soccer culture so different to Ontario's? Cadence Weapon: I've actually always found the west part of Canada is more soccer-centric; you see more people playing soccer here than you'd see playing out east, especially in Vancouver and Edmonton. It's definitely a different culture. I find that in places like Toronto, it's more basketball whereas out west, while definitely people in Alberta are into hockey you'd be surprised how much people are into soccer. In fact, the high school I went to, St. Francis Xavier, even had a soccer academy. (Note: It's also the same school that EPL goalkeeper Asmir Begovic attended). Well, maybe the better question is: what makes Edmonton so different than Calgary? Cadence Weapon: The major difference between Edmonton and Calgary is that Edmonton is going to win! [Laughs] There's no place in Canada, or the rest of the world, like Edmonton. Edmonton is unique and you can only truly appreciate it if you come from there, or if you've ever been there. And I feel like that it has such a different vibe from Calgary. We always get lumped in and compared to Calgary, but ... there can only be one capital. What makes Edmonton fans so special? Cadence Weapon: I think we have the best sports fans in the world. We have very passionate fans who are used to cheering on champions. With all the hockey teams, and my Grandfather played with the Edmonton Eskimos in the CFL and won several Grey Cups, so Edmonton is the city of champions. It has that expectation of greatness. From being from a sports family and an athlete yourself, what message would you have for the team and everyone involved in the club? Cadence Weapon: The first thing I would tell them? You are going to be blown away by the community in Edmonton. There's going to be so much support for this team and people are really going to be passionate. There's this symbiotic relationship between the players and the community that you don't see in other cities. Maybe because it has more of a small town feel, even though it is a big city, there's just something about it. You see players in the community, at the grocery store, and it's totally chill, it's not a weird thing. I think they'll be amazed by how much support they get just from regular people. Speaking about grocery stores – it's game day, where do you tell people to eat? Cadence Weapon: Man, there's a really big restaurant boom happening in Edmonton right now. One place I'd recommend is Woodwork. Then, Corso 32 and Bar Bricco. Oh, and this sandwich place, Farrow. Finally, if you could put on message on a banner, what would it be? Cadence Weapon: I want something that's about the team being united. I always appreciate that when you see teams in Europe, and it's all about their connection. That's one of the best things about football – the fans are the best out of any sport and the most passionate. They're connected with their team and it feels very natural. I would want something to mention the North Saskatchewan River, something like: From north to south, both sides united. When not playing up top, Cadence Weapon served as Poet Laureate of Edmonton from 2009 to 2011, making him the literary ambassador of his hometown. He is currently in the top 10 running for a 2019 Prism Prize award for his video for High Rise and his latest album (his first in half a decade) was previously long listed for the 2018 Polaris Prize, alongside with Gord Downie and Arcade Fire.

12 Craziest Contracts Signed This Offseason
Jeffrey Zhang
8. Jimmy Butler re-signs with Chicago Butler for 5 years, $90 million
Butler had a break-out year, making the all-star team during a season in which he led the Derrick Rose-less Bulls to the playoffs. Although he sometimes makes questionable decisions on the offensive end, Butler is definitely the best perimeter defender on the team. He also made it very difficult for LeBron to score in the Eastern Conference semi-finals, which not many players in the league can do. The Bulls are lucky that Butler didn't leave to join a different team. Butler's contract also included $4 million as a signing bonus.

I liked it's bulky size and was pretty sure it would match my green orb vase.
The lower leaves on the Euphorbia were turning yellow, so I thought a shallow bowl would show off the green "frog" and be perfect to contain shorter stems.
Next I had to come up with something to fill the green vase, but what!? Ah...maybe the seedy growth on my Trachycarpus?
Hmm, yes! I snipped one of the stems on the back of the tree, preserving the cool view from the front.
Heading back to the house my gaze fell on the Acacia baileyana 'Purpurea' — it had made it through the cold night previous (19F, maybe a little lower) but the next night was predicted to be even colder. Maybe it was time to at least snip that branch that's been hitting me in the face ever since the ice storm bent the tree out of shape?
I wonder if there's any chance the Acacia flowers will open like some of the Euphorbia's have? (I know, I shouldn't get greedy).
The two vases, along with a Tillandisia xerographica, are living on the dining table. Oh and as you know by now, visit Rambling in the Garden for links to all the Monday vases!
Your vases are a wonder. Every day lately I think of you and your garden trying to extend the zones. Ice storms, freezing rain, nothing could be worse. It must be unexpressably sad to lose so much of your beloved garden.
It's been a crazy month+ in the garden, that's for sure. I there are a couple of Agaves I am sure are toast, but it will take awhile for most of their damage to appear. Also several not-really hardy things are gone, like the Echium and a couple of Grevillea. I'm still kind of in the holding my breath phase. Thank you for your thoughts!
Great new find & matches your green vase perfectly. You found quite a bit of vase-worthy material in the frozen wasteland. I especially like the acacia/palm bits combo. Although it's now above freezing for a while, plants are looking pretty sad right now in my garden.
Have you gotten the ice and snow combo that we've been getting? Or just the cold?
I love your vignette, especially the Acacia, but I'm wondering just how you got that great overhead view.
I held the camera up over the table and awkwardly attempted to lean out of frame.
Who needs flowers when the lovely, green ceramic frog is so dang cute!?!
Ha, thanks! And considering frogs are so collectible the prices wasn't bad either.
If you didn't tell us the weather was awful and you were trying to make do, no one would ever guess. Those are as attractive as any of your many great vases. And I love the shot from above which turns the table and chair tops into a graphic statement.
Thank you! The palm seeds have since turned purple, which has added another dimension to the whole ensemble.
Now there's a flower frog worthy of the name 'frog'! Especially the shot of it in action with just the first stems -- half-submerged just like the real thing.
The arrangement's colors are a nice echo of those subtle tones in Greg Shepherd's garden, which makes the glossy deep green an enriching accent rather than overpowering-rainforest-atmosphere.
Wow, I'm kind of in love with your critique Nell!
Well, for something you call slim pickings, you came up with a great, if simple, arrangement.
Thanks Alison. The jury is still out on whether or not that Acacia is gonna live. We will see!
You always seem to make a silk purse out of a pigs ear. Always enjoy your in a vase posts.
Ah you take me back with that expression! Thanks Mary.
What an amazing collection of things to put together - works brilliantly. Do you do anything to condition the Euphorbia; I don't have much success using my W rigida in a vase.
Thanks Christina, and yes. After I cut the Euphorbia stems I singe them with a flame. I should have ran the flame up the stem a bit to, to get the spots where I removed the leaves. Instead I just dumped and refilled the water a couple of times until it was clear.

Former UAW president Owen Bieber dies at 90

(FOX 2) - A former president of the United Auto Workers union has passed away.
The UAW announced the passing of Owen F. Bieber on Monday. He was 90 years old.
Bieber served from May 19, 1983 to June 15, 1995 as the union's seventh president.
"Owen Bieber's death is a loss for our union and all working people. He was a man of incredible leadership. He was not afraid of tough battles or taking a stand on controversial issues," said UAW President Rory L. Gamble. "He was not only a devoted trade unionist but a social activist whose impact was felt around the world. Whether it was his support to end apartheid in South Africa or in Poland, Owen stood on the right side of history for the nation and the world."
Bieber, the son of Albert F. and Minnie (Schwartz) Bieber, was born in North Dorr, Mich. on Dec. 28, 1929. After graduating from Catholic grade school and high school in 1948, he went to work at McInerney Spring and Wire Company in nearby Grand Rapids, the same auto supply plant where his father worked. In 1939 he co-founded UAW Local 687, the first UAW local in the Grand Rapids city limits. His first job was bending by hand the thick border wire on car seats. A year later, at age 19, Bieber's co-workers elected him Local 687's shop steward. By 1955 he was elected to the local bargaining committee and was involved in talks on local plant issues. In 1956 he was elected local president. Bieber, a devoted Democrat, also worked on behalf of Sen. John Kennedy's campaign for the U.S. presidency in 1960.
In 1972 Bieber was appointed director of UAW Region 1D, a position he held until 1980, when he was elected vice president. Bieber served as director of the union's General Motors (GM) Department, the union's largest department with more than 400,000 members.
Bieber was elected UAW president in 1983 during the union's 27th Constitutional Convention in Dallas. He succeeded Douglas Fraser and served four consecutive terms.
He is credited with diversifying the UAW by inviting new members from areas outside of industrial sectors, including public and private employers. Active in the Democratic Party, he became a political force, advocating for working people on legislative issues and contributed to bringing President Bill Clinton into the White House.
He was vocal on legislation pertaining to national and international trade and the reformation of health care. On an international level, he led the first trade unionist delegation to visit China, meeting with Deng Xiaoping to acknowledge International Labor Day.

New Love >>> The Bakery at Cakes & Ale
The Bakery at Cakes & Ale and Cakes & Ale (the restaurant), Newly Opened Next Door Neighbors
The charming farm-to-table restaurant Cakes & Ale, located in downtown Decatur, GA, has picked up and moved closer into the heart of the Square. Along with this change of venue, brought the addition of a sister space next door to the restaurant, The Bakery at Cakes & Ale. Not even open a week, we stopped in Friday morning to sample their fresh baked goods & handcrafted cappuccinos.
The side by side storefronts were completely gutted and reworked to accommodate effecient design & fresh style needs. During the renovation process, upon peeling back existing Sheetrock, the crew uncovered an original painted sign on the left side wall of the soon to be bakery. The descriptive words were so fitting for the new space, that it was polished up and left to be the focal point of the room. Check out some photos from our visit below -- interiors shots & pics of our bakery treats.

Grades are among the topmost concerns of students across the world, especially those in honor programs such as International Baccalaureate Diploma Program or Advanced Placement courses. At BSGE, students of all ages, from the newer 7th graders to the older MYP and IB candidates are aware of the critical role grades play in a student's educational career. As we are now approaching the second marking period of the second semester, students are focusing on raising their grades before progress reports, and, eventually, before final report cards.
Students enjoyed varying levels of success with first semester report cards. Relatively new to the school, Meril Mousoom '21, says "I got what I expected but not what I wanted." BSGE students are almost always faced with this problem, trying to achieve high scores but not quite meeting their goals.
In general, the attitude towards improving is pretty strong here. Another 7th grader, Jenna Belabed '21, said, "I definitely think I can study more for longer periods of time." In particular, 7th graders new to the school and its culture strive to learn different methods in order to improve their scores.
Some students feel as if the blame for having defects with their grades isn't always on them. Tatiana Economopoulos '18 feels that "certain teachers of mine could have been more clear." These students feel some frustration, since these slight problems with others, like teachers and parents, affect their grades.
Be it trying to improve or identifying the true source of error, BSGE students are very concerned with grades. Combined with pressure from parents and teachers, scores matter a lot to not only us BSGE students, but to other IB students around the world.

BET NOW!
It wasn't easy, but the Dodgers edged the Padres by a 6-5 count last night despite leading 6-3 entering the ninth inning.
While Kenley Jansen's ninth-inning struggles cost me my pick of the Dodgers -1.5 at +100, the Dodgers are nonetheless in the driver's seat here up 2-0 looking to put the division rival Padres away tonight.
After plenty of fireworks in last night's contest, it should be a dandy tonight as its the Dodgers vs. Padres in Game 3 from Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas!

Dodgers vs. Padres NLDS Game 3 Breakdown
It took a while, but the Dodgers announced rookie right-hander Dustin May as the starting pitcher for this one looking for him to pitch them into the ALCS in a hurry.
It will mark May's second outing of this series as he pitched two shutout innings in Game 1 of the series and struck out three of the six batters he faced.
The excellent postseason work comes on the heels of a fantastic rookie campaign that included a 2.57 ERA across his 10 starts, 12 appearances and 56 innings pitched.
That said, while the ERA is nice, he also posted a 4.62 FIP, 3.98 xFIP and a 4.29 SIERA. While not totally poor, those peripheral numbers indicate May could be in for some regression moving forward.
He benefited from a low .234 BABIP against and also stranded 89.1% of his baserunners this season, both of which are unsustainable figures.
That said, he allowed just 28.8% hard contact and generated ground-balls at a 54.7% rate in the regular season, quite the recipe for success.
Prior to his two scoreless frames in this series, May posted a 2.63 ERA in three starts spanning 17.1 innings against the Padres this season.
The Padres' starting pitching situation has been all over the place in these playoffs – especially this series – and manager Jayce Tingler will go to left-hander Adrian Morejon in what will be his first career postseason start although he threw three scoreless innings across two relief appearances against the Cardinals in the Wild Card round.
Morejon made four starts and nine appearances spanning 19.1 innings for the Padres this season, working to a 4.66 ERA/5.93 FIP but also a 3.02 xFIP given the fact he allowed home runs on a whopping 38.9% of fly-balls allowed and posted a 3.26 HR/9 as a result.
Tingler mentioned Morejon could go as many as five innings if all goes well in that one, although he went as deep as just three innings as a starter this season – his first outing of the season in this very ball park no less.
As a starter, Morejon posted a 4.82 ERA/5.01 FIP with a 2.90 xFIP, but allowed just a .216 average, .742 OPS and .310 wOBA in the process.
The stuff was good, however, as Morejon posted a big-time 11.64 K/9 on the season against just 1.86 BB/9, good for a stout 6.25 K/BB ratio.
Morejon made one appearance against the Dodgers this season, allowing one earned run – on a solo homer – in two innings of work with zero walks against three punchouts.
The Dodgers haven't exactly exploded on offense through two games, although they have still managed 11 runs between the two games. Just when it may seem like they're more or less being held in check, they can still hang five or six runs on you.
While the offense ranked second in the regular season against right-handed pitching, the offense slipped a bit versus lefties but remained a top-10 group nonetheless.
The Dodgers finished the regular season ranked eighth with a .335 wOBA but their .192 ISO versus lefties – although a strong number itself – is well below their .240 mark against lefties.
In layman's terms, I would suggest the Dodgers' offense goes from flat-out elite versus righties to well above-average versus lefties.
While Mookie Betts put up an MVP-type season in his first year with the Dodgers, it's mind-boggling to see him struggle to the tune of a .200 average, .018 ISO, .531 OPS, .248 wOBA and 56 wRC+ versus lefties. He recorded just one extra-base hit – a double – against left-handers in 55 at-bats against them, although he did steal seven bags off a lefty as well.
I think we can now begin to understand the decision to go with the southpaw Morejon in this one.
The Padres ended up getting to Clayton Kershaw for three runs in his six innings last night as both Manny Machado and Eric Hosmer hit solo homers towards the end of his outing.
That said, this offense is superior versus right-handed pitching.
The Padres ranked fifth with a .347 wOBA against right-handed pitching this season and third behind only these Dodgers and the Braves with a .219 ISO off righties as well.
It's a Padres offense that couldn't get much going against the right-handed Buehler in Game 1 and they'll face another hard-throwing righty in May in Game 2.
The Padres actually bring the best power/speed combination to the table against righties as they also led all of baseball with 55 stolen bases on the season.
It's an offense that refused to go quietly last night and I would be shocked if that wasn't the case again tonight.
As I've noted in my series preview and my pick from Game 2, this Padres bullpen has been used a ton in these playoffs.
They received just 4.1 innings from starting pitching in their three-game Wild Card round versus the Cardinals and pitched seven innings in Game 1 of his NLDS followed by three more last night.
The bullpen got a three-game break from the Wild Card round to the beginning of this NLDS on Tuesday, however these relievers just aren't used to being used this often in 2020 as teams were largely careful with overtaxing their bullpen after such a short summer camp.
The Padres bullpen was a little better than league average this season as they tied for 13th with a 4.38 ERA, but also put forth nice peripherals in the form of a 10th-ranked 4.08 FIP and fifth-ranked 4.15 xFIP.
It's a group that's done admirable work this season and their memorable Game 3 effort against the Cardinals got them into this matchup, but this is an overworked bullpen at this point.
The Dodgers were one of the very best bullpens in baseball this season, but they made it difficult last night.
Not only did Jansen allow two runs in the ninth, but there would have been two more off flame-thrower Brusdar Graterol had Cody Bellinger not robbed Fernando Tatis Jr. of a home run over the center field wall.
It's a deep group that had nine relievers post an ERA of 3.86 or better in the regular season, but manager Dave Roberts isn't committing to Jansen as his closer at this point, and for good reason. For what it's worth, of those nine relievers, Jansen's 3.33 ERA in the regular season ranked eighth.
The two runs allowed by Jansen last night were actually the first runs the Dodgers' bullpen has surrendered in these playoffs after they went four games and 11 innings without allowing a run prior to that.
Padres vs. Dodgers NLDS Game 3 Pick
To me, this one is tough. You have to like May's regular-season work, but the numbers point towards some notable regression. Additionally, the Padres led all of baseball with those 55 steals this season and May allowed five steals in his 56 innings this season, an elevated number to be sure. They will rest him if they get on base.
You also look at the Dodgers' offense and some of their best bats just hasn't hit lefties well this season. If Morejon can get deep into this one, he'll give his team a chance to stay alive.
The Padres' offense is also notably superior versus right-handed pitching and their numbers versus righties are also superior the Dodgers' against lefties.
The Padres' bullpen is concerning and is the second-best bullpen in this series, but the Dodgers had some bullpen issues themselves last night.
I took the Dodgers to sweep the series when I assumed they would see three right-handed starters, but I think Morejon actually has the ability to quite this offense down and give his team a chance to get something going at the plate in the meantime.
I'll take the Padres in this one, but I'll buy a run and a half on the run line.

Q: Propel 1.6 Greater / Less than Im trying to do something pretty simple in Propel ORM which I just cant seem to work out or find the answer to.
Basically I have a table called post and a table called post_history.  Every time someone makes an edit to a post, the previous version is saved to post_history first.
I have an 'undo' button against each post where I simply want to select the last 'post_history' record for the post and revert the post data from the history.  To select the last history that is older than my post how do I select GREATER or LESS than in propel?
If I do something like this:
$postHistory = PostHistoryQuery::create()
                ->filterByPostId($post->getId())
                ->filterByCreated(array("max" => $post->getUpdated()))
                ->orderById("DESC")
                ->limit(1);

the filterByCreated with the 'max' specified does indeed select the last 'post_history' but if you click undo again it selects the same record because the max seems to specify less or equal to rather just less than.  It may require a custom query? I think im missing a trick that I cant find the answer too.  My search for the answer hasn't helped so far.
Any help is much appreciated.

A: Ok, so I posted a question on SO for help and within 30 minutes I work it out by just trying things. Typical, eh? It might be useful to someone else so here's what I did:
$postHistory = PostHistoryQuery::create()
                ->filterByPostId($post->getId())
                ->filterByCreated(array("max" => $post->getUpdated()))
                ->orderById("DESC")
                ->limit(1);

Changed to:
$postHistory = PostHistoryQuery::create()
                ->filterByPostId($post->getId())
                ->where('post_history.created < ?', $post->getUpdated())
                ->orderById("DESC")
                ->limit(1);

The ->where() clause allows you to specify lots of options  e.g >, <, LIKE etc...


The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that is frequently used in medicine to treat drug resistant epilepsy. This diet is becoming increasingly popular in the news due to its suggested ability to cause weight loss and improve brain function.
In this post Brianna Stubbs, DPhil student in metabolic biochemistry at Oxford University, explains exactly what ketosis is, how the ketogenic diet is used to treat disease, and benefits for the general population.
Ketone bodies were first discovered in humans when physicians in the late 19th century observed them in the urine of acutely ill diabetic patients. Since their discovery they have gone from a hallmark of disease to a central characteristic that has sustained human evolution due to the human body's ability to produce and metabolise ketone bodies.
The human brain is very greedy in terms of energy, accounting for 20% of our daily total basal metabolic rate. However, the brain normally derives all of its energy from carbohydrates, as it is unable to burn fat. Fat stores contain a great deal more energy than carbohydrate stores, however this would be inaccessible to the brain were it not for ketone bodies. Ketones are produced from fat during fasting when carbohydrate stores are depleted. This allows the brain to make use of the energy contained in fat to continue to operate (1). Without this adaptation, our ancestors would have fallen unconscious and died as their carbohydrate stores ran out.
Insulin is a hormone released in response to dietary carbohydrate. If insulin stores are kept low for several days, fat is released from the cells where it is stored, travels to the liver and is converted to ketones. As blood ketone concentrations increase through fasting, the body enters a state of physiological ketosis (2). This state is maintained by feedback inhibition of ketone bodies on their own production. Pathological ketosis is seen in diabetics, where ketone production is dysregulated and can reach excessively high levels (3). A such concentrations the buffering capacity of the blood is exceeded and the resulting metabolic acidosis can be fatal.
However, physiological amounts of ketones have a role as a metabolic fuel and as a signal to regulate the mobilisation and utilisation of other fuels (4). Ketones slow down liver glucose production and decrease the rate of protein breakdown in the body, which protects against muscle wastage during periods of starvation.
Nutritional strategies to create ketosis without fasting are now being developed. This include ketogenic diets that stimulate ketone production through increased fat consumption whilst strictly limiting carbohydrate intake. There is a growing body of evidence to support the utility of nutritional ketosis for optimising health and also exercise performance (5).
Nutritional ketosis has several applications that are already documented in medicine. A ketogenic diet has been the only effective treatment for drug resistance epilepsy, in some cases completely eliminating seizures (6).
Ketogenic diets have also been shown to be a highly effective strategy for weight loss compared to calories restricted, non-ketogenic diets. This is in part due to the appetite suppressing effect of the diet, making it easier to consume fewer calories (7). During ketosis, ketone production from fat occurs at a steady rate throughout the day and so it is reported that energy levels and 'fulness' are more stable when the body is using ketones as a fuel compared to the oscillations experienced as a consequence of the repeated fluctuations in blood sugar that accompany carbohydrate rich meals and snacks.
A ketogenic diet may also benefit patients suffering with diseases that are characterised by harmful alterations in metabolism such as type two diabetes, Alzheimer's Disease and even cancer.
For type two diabetes, a low carbohydrate, ketogenic diet can decrease levels of insulin and reduce fluctuations in blood glucose (8).
Symptoms of Alzheimer's Diseases have improved in some reported cases following consumption of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) and nutritional ketone esters (9), which can act as a precursor for ketone production.
Dietary ketones may be a helpful addition to cancer treatment; cancer cells often develop mutations that cause them to become totally reliant on rapid metabolism of glucose to sustain their proliferation and expansion. The decrease in blood glucose seen during ketosis and the inhibitory effect of ketones themselves on glucose breakdown could help to weaken tumors by 'starving' them of their only fuel source and make them more vulnerable to attack by standard anti-cancer treatments (10).
Whilst it is evident that ketogenic diets and nutritional ketones have a large role in the treatment of disease, such a diet may also be applied to the general population looking to maintain steady energy levels throughout the day and cut the ties that make us obligate consumers of carbohydrates.
Ketosis is not the answer for everyone. Perhaps one of the biggest challenges to the individual's health is the medical community's search for a 'unifying dietary hypothesis': a single diet that optimises the health of everyone in the population. The idea on inspection appears ludicrous@ Many people may benefit from following a ketogenic diet or consuming nutritional ketones, however there are an equal number of people who would not or who might experience negative outcomes.
To close, don't be afraid to experiment whilst listening to your body to determine the best lifestyle choices for your changing health needs.

"Too Smart to be Religious?" Discreet Seeking Amidst Religious Stigma at an Elite College
Home > Vol 4, No 2 (2016): Religious Diversity and Social Inclusion
Kateri Boucher Department of Sociology, Hamilton College, USA

Abstract: To advance understandings of how religion manifests in subtle, nuanced ways in secular institutions, we examine student religiosity and spirituality at an elite liberal arts school marked by a strong intellectual collective identity. Using mixed research methods, we examine how the college's structures and dominant culture influence students' religiosity and spirituality. Despite an institutional commitment to promoting students' self-exploration and inclusion of social "diversity," we found both campus structures and mainstream culture deterred open spiritual and religious exploration and identification. The structure of the college and its dominant secular, intellectual culture reinforced: (1) a widespread stigma against religious and spiritual expression, (2) a lack of dialogue about the sacred, (3) discreetness in exploring and adhering to sacred beliefs and practices, and (4) a large degree of religious and spiritual pluralism. Our findings additionally illustrate that early exposure to the campus culture's critical regard for religion had a long-lasting impact on students' religiosity. A majority of students kept their religious and spiritual expressions hidden and private; only a marginalized minority of students embraced their expressions publically. To increase students' comfort with religious and spiritual exploration, we propose that colleges foster intentional peer dialogues early in the college experience. Furthermore, we recommend that campus communities prioritize religious and spiritual literacy and respect.

Foodstuffs plans to offer Visa payWave contactless payments
New Zealand's largest retailer, Foodstuffs, intends to make Visa payWave payments available to its members, who collectively operate 3,500 terminals in 700 stores including PAK'nSAVE, New World and Four Square stores.
Visa and Foodstuffs have collaborated to offer customers of the cooperative, the option to pay for their shopping using any credit, debit or prepaid card enabled with Visa payWave technology. Cardholders will be able to wave their Visa payWave-enabled card in front of the payment terminal to make purchases under $80 without the need to sign or use their PIN, and enter a PIN for any transactions over $80.
Foodstuffs New Zealand Managing Director Steve Anderson confirms contactless payments will start to be rolled out at Foodstuffs stores in late 2014 as the new technology at check out lanes is installed. Following this, PAK'nSAVE, New World and Four Square customers will begin to see Visa payWave information and instructions at their local stores.
"We are always striving to provide the best possible shopping experience for our customers. Contactless payments are steadily growing in New Zealand and we have seen them significantly embraced by consumers in other parts of the world. We believe this new technology will provide shoppers with an easier, faster and more convenient experience at the checkout."
Caroline Ada, Visa's Country Manager New Zealand and South Pacific, says Foodstuffs only needed to look at the positive impact Visa payWave had on retailers internationally to see what the benefits could be to its business.
"One of our international retailers saw that within six months contactless payments accounted for half of all their transactions, and they were 15 per cent faster to process than cash. This meant time savings for both customers and staff, enabling staff to be deployed to other areas of customer service within the stores. We're delighted that New Zealand's largest retailer has seen the opportunity and is set to embrace Visa payWave."
The introduction of contactless-enabled terminals in Foodstuffs stores is bound to accelerate the growth of Visa payWave transactions in New Zealand adds Ada.
"There are 15,000 contactless terminals in place throughout the country and New Zealanders are already choosing the convenience of Visa payWave transactions, with 1.5 million transactions made in December. Being able to use Visa payWave credit and debit cards for everyday purchases such as groceries will see contactless payments become a preferred way to pay for Kiwis."
Visa payWave cards have an embedded antenna and microchip, enabling fast and secure contactless communication with the checkout terminal. From there the transaction is processed through the same secure network used for all Visa transactions. Visa payWave transactions are also processed three times faster than cash payments .
Multiple layers of security protect Visa payWave transactions, including EMV chip technology, a short read range and Visa's Zero Liability policy, which protects cardholders from fraudulent or unauthorised transactions.

A galambgomba-alkatúak (Russulales) a gombák Agaricomycetes osztályának egyik rendje. Az ide tartozó gombák alakja rendkívül változatos, egyaránt megtalálható közöttük a hagyományos kalapos gombaforma, a korallszerű, taplószerű vagy korhadó fán réteget formázó alak. Termőrétege is lehet lemezes, pórusos, tüskés vagy egyszerű réteges. Magyarországon leginkább ismert képviselői a galambgombák (a Russula nemzetség) és a tejelőgombák (Lactarius nemzetség), amelyek fő jellemzői, hogy a termőréteg lemezes felépítésű, a lemezek vastagok, sűrűn állók, törékenyek; a tönkjük tömör, nem rostos, a termőtestben kerek sejtekből (szferociszta) álló csoportok találhatók és életmódjukat illetően mikorrhizás erdei gombák. Bár külsőre hasonlítanak a kalaposgombák rendjének (Agaricales) tagjaira, különálló evolúciós ágat képviselnek.

Taxonómiája nem végleges, a genetikai vizsgálatok még jelentős változásokat hozhatnak. A 2020-as állás szerint a rendbe 12 család, valamint 17 bizonytalan besorolású, családba nem tartozó nemzetség tartozik, összesen 3268 fajjal.
