This issue commemorates the Chinese Year of the Rat - one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. In some parts of the world, it is referred to as the Year of the Mouse and may more broadly be translated to "rodent".
Pocket Pets refer to any small mammal commonly kept as a household pet. The most common pocket pets include hamsters, gerbils, fancy mice or rats and guinea pigs.
The 50 cent stamp features the Netherland Dwarf Seal Point rabbit (on the left) and Dutch Dwarf rabbit (on the right of the stamp). The Netherland and Dutch Dwarf rabbits are popular breeds of domestic rabbit originating from the Netherlands and Holland. Smaller than most rabbit breeds, these rabbits are usually kept as pets or exhibition animals. Their popularity as pets stems from their babyish appearance and smaller cage space requirements compared to larger rabbit breeds.
The one dollar stamp features the tricolour Abyssinian Guinea pig (on the left) and Sheltie Guinea pig (on the right side). The Silkie or Sheltie has long hair that flows back over its body and never forward over the face. The Abyssinian has a short, rough coat with cowlicked rosettes of hair. Despite their name, the Abyssinian do not originate from Abyssinia (present day Ethiopia) - both breeds originate from South America.
The $1.50 stamp has a hooded chocolate fancy rat on the left and an albino white rat on the right. The fancy rat is a domesticated chocolate brown rat with hooded markings - meaning that the markings run from a full head down the spine.
The two dollar stamp has two fancy mice, a fawn and white and a cinnamon satin. Satin mice have a high sheen coat which has a satin-like gloss.
The stamps, miniature sheet and first day cover were all designed by Lindy Fisher of Auckland.
The rat and mouse stamps were also included in the Year of the Rat miniature sheet, and the $1.50 stamp was included in the 2008 Taipei 21st Asian International Stamp Exhibition miniature sheet.

Twitter Boomer Esiason Official Twitter
Esiason launched Game Time With Boomer Esiason, interviews with sports personalities from the past, on Saturday September 14, 2019.
Esiason is an avid ice hockey devotee, and a die-hard fan of the NY Rangers. He is also a fan of the New York Mets and New York Knicks. As of 2019, he plays in up to 70 recreational-league hockey games a year. Gunnar and his father are teammates on their local hockey team. Esiason plays in the annual Mikey Strong Charity Hockey game with NHL alumni. His foundation sponsors the annual Guinness Cup Hockey Tournament.
While still playing, Esiason appeared as a color analyst on the USA Network's two-year broadcast of the World League of American Football (WLAF) on Monday nights, partnered with Brad Nessler. After his retirement from playing, he went into broadcasting full-time. He was a color commentator for ABC's Monday Night Football from 1998 to 1999. Following his dismissal by ABC (due primarily to personal conflicts between him and play-by-play announcer Al Michaels), he was hired by the Westwood One radio network to become the lead analyst for radio broadcasts of Monday Night Football and Super Bowl games. He broadcast every Super Bowl from SB XXXIV in 2000 to SB LII in 2018, a total of 19, which is a broadcast record. As planned, after broadcasting the Thursday night football game on September 6, 2018, he left Westwood One. He was quoted as saying "I'm going to miss it, but in all reality I kind of have to get part of my life back." He currently serves as an in-studio analyst for The NFL Today on CBS television, Inside the NFL on Showtime, and hosts Boomer and Gio on WFAN Radio in New York and the CBS Sports Network. In September 2012, CBS Radio announced he was added to their collection of talent to deliver five sports updates per day Monday through Friday.
The Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF) was formed soon after Gunnar's diagnosis to fund research to find a cure for cystic fibrosis. The foundation also provides scholarships, transplant grants, hospital grants, and education and awareness of CF to help provide a higher quality of life for people with CF. The foundation has raised in excess of $100 million, and has supported numerous hospitals, including Cincinnati Children's Hospital with the Gunnar H Esiason CF/Lung Center and Columbia Presbyterian in NYC with the Gunnar H Esiason Adult CF and Lung Program. In 2018 the foundation awarded over $400,000 in scholarships to almost 100 students. The foundation is located in New York City and runs numerous events around the country. The foundation annually receives four stars from Charity Navigator.
In 2015, he became the Commissioner of the FFL (Feline Football League) for Kitten Bowl II on the Hallmark Channel, and still holds that position today. He has provided analysis and commentary for all the Kitten Bowls since Kitten Bowl II, which airs during half time of the Super Bowl.
He made a cameo appearance as himself on the October 3, 2014 episode of Blue Bloods.
Starting in 2013, he began appearing once a week as a guest on The Jim Rome Show during the NFL season to break down the upcoming weekend's NFL action.
He has co-hosted Super Bowl's Greatest Commercials from 2012 to 2019.
He and partner Craig Carton served as judges on the May 29, 2011 episode of Iron Chef America.
In April 2007, after the firing of Don Imus, CBS Radio gave Esiason a one-week "try-out" as Imus' replacement on WFAN. The station announced him as the permanent host on August 13, with radio veteran Craig Carton joining as co-host. Boomer and Carton officially started on September 4, 2007. As an analyst with Westwood One, Esiason would do the Monday morning show, travel to do the Monday Night Football game and travel back to New York in time to do the Tuesday morning show. The Boomer and Carton radio program became the number-one rated morning show in all key demographics in the greater N.Y. listening area and was seen on the CBSN/TV Network from 2010–2013. On March 8, 2013, both Esiason and Carton worked the radio broadcast of a Brooklyn Nets basketball game. The radio program had been simulcast on the CBS Sports Network since January 2014. In September 2017, after being arrested and facing charges of operating a concert ticket Ponzi scheme, Carton resigned from WFAN, leaving Esiason as the sole host of the show, which was rebranded The Morning Show with Boomer. On January 2, 2018, the show became Boomer and Gio, when Gregg Giannotti joined him as a permanent co-host.
Esiason has appeared in over 25 commercials including ones for Diet Coke, Wheaties, Reebok, Samsung, Hanes, Doritos and Domino's Pizza. He has also appeared in many TV shows and movies, such as The Game Plan, Miss America 1999, Spin City, and Blue Bloods among others.
He co-hosted the Miss America Pageant with Meredith Vieira on September 19, 1998, and co-hosted with Julie Chen the CBS broadcast of the 2002 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Esiason and his family have lived in Manhasset, New York, since at least 1998.
Esiason contemplated retirement in the off-season, but was talked into playing one more season with the Bengals. He was surprisingly effective after replacing Jeff Blake midway through the 1997 season, throwing for 13 touchdowns with only two interceptions and garnering a passer rating of over 106 for the season. The Bengals were 3–8 with Blake under center. With Esiason at quarterback, they won four of their last five games and scored over 30 points four times – twice they broke 40 points, in a 44–42 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and a 41–14 rout of the Tennessee Oilers. The Bengals wanted Esiason to come back for two more years.
On December 21, 1997, he played his last NFL game. His last play was a 79-yard touchdown play-action pass to wide receiver Darnay Scott. The touchdown proved to be the winner in a 16–14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens.
At his retirement in 1997 Esiason was among the most successful quarterbacks in NFL history, finishing in the top 10 in many statistical categories. At 6′-5″ and 224 pounds with a powerful arm, he was surprisingly mobile, rushing for 1,598 yards on 447 attempts and scoring seven touchdowns in his career.
After being released by the Jets, Esiason signed with the Arizona Cardinals as a free agent in 1996. It was during this season, on November 10, 1996, that he threw for the fourth best passing yardage day in NFL history, with 522 yards in a 37–34 overtime victory over the Washington Redskins. Two weeks later he led a fourth-quarter comeback against the playoff-bound Eagles.
Among the awards he has earned during his career include the NFL Most Valuable Player Award in 1988 (leading the league with a passer rating of 97.4), and the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 1995 for his charitable work. At his retirement in 1997 he finished in the top 10 all-time in many QB career statistical categories. In addition, he is the only quarterback to hold a franchise record in single game passing yards with two different teams, having thrown for 522 yards with the Arizona Cardinals on November 10, 1996 and 490 yards for the Cincinnati Bengals on October 7, 1990.
In 1996, Esiason formed a partnership with Cantor Fitzgerald and Howard Lutnick (CEO) as the foundation offices were moved to the North Tower of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan on the 101st floor, which was destroyed in 2001 in the September 11 attacks. All five full-time employees survived, as none were in the building at the time, but "Esiason figured he knew over 200 people personally" who were killed in the attack, including his best friend Tim O'Brien who was a partner at Cantor.
He authored a children's reader in 1995 titled A Boy Named Boomer and co-wrote (with Lowell Cauffiel) a 1998 novel titled Toss.
Esiason, who had worked with Jets head coach Bruce Coslet in Cincinnati, was traded to the Jets for a third round pick in 1993 (which became linebacker Steve Tovar), subsequently guiding their offense until the end of 1995 under three different head coaches: Coslet, Pete Carroll, and Rich Kotite. During his 1995 season with the Jets, he was seriously injured in a game played on October 8 against the Buffalo Bills when rookie Everett McIver was whistled for a false start and Bruce Smith of the Bills raced around him and caught Esiason under his face mask. Smith was terribly upset about Esiason's injury and said he never heard a whistle blowing the play dead for false start. That horrific collision gave Esiason a severe concussion, which kept him out until November 19. He is thought to have been the first NFL player to enter a concussion study during the season. When he returned to the field it was coincidentally in a game that was played against the Bills.
On October 7, 1990, he threw for 490 yards (a single game team passing record) in a 34-31 victory over the Los Angeles Rams.
Esiason was inducted into the Suffolk Sports Hall of Fame in the Football Category with the Class of 1990. In 2004, he was inducted into the Nassau County Sports Hall of Fame.
On October 29, 1989, he tied his own record for touchdown passes in a game as the Bengals demolished the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 56–23. The Bengals tied a team record with eight touchdowns in the game.
He made two appearances on the game show Family Feud. On March 18, 1989, he appeared in the episode "Bengals v. 49ers", reminiscent of their latest Super Bowl match. In 1993, his second Family Feud appearance came in the episode "NFC v. AFC".
After leading Cincinnati to six straight wins to begin the 1988 season, on October 16, 1988 he set a single game team record throwing 5 interceptions in a 27–21 loss to the New England Patriots. The team finished the season 12–4 with the highest scoring offense in the NFL, securing the organization's fifth AFC Central division title. He finished the season as the NFL's top rated passer. Cincinnati defeated Seattle and then Buffalo in the playoffs to reach Super Bowl XXIII, their second appearance in a Super Bowl, a rematch with the San Francisco 49ers. In the game, Bengals cornerback Lewis Billups dropped a sure interception in the end zone which would have sealed a Cincinnati win. The San Francisco 49ers, led by future Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana, marched 92 yards on their last drive and scored on a touchdown pass to receiver John Taylor with 34 seconds remaining in the game. A last-ditch pass by Esiason to wide receiver Cris Collinsworth was broken up, resulting in a 20–16 loss for the Bengals, their second close loss to the 49ers in a Super Bowl.
On December 21, 1986, the final game of the 1986 season, he set a team record by throwing five touchdown passes as Cincinnati shot down the New York Jets 52–21. He also set the team single season passing record of 3,959 yards in this game. It was the last game of Bengals' quarterback Ken Anderson's playing career.
Esiason was named to four Pro Bowl games (1986, 1988, 1989, 1993) and holds several NFL career records for left-handed quarterbacks, including most touchdown passes (247), passing yards (37,920), and completions (2,969). He also led the AFC in passing in both 1988 and 1989.
In 1986, Esiason married his wife, Cheryl. They have two children, son Gunnar and daughter Sydney. Sydney is married to New York Islanders forward Matt Martin. While at a Jets mini-camp in 1993, Esiason was notified that two-year-old Gunnar had to be taken to the hospital with breathing difficulties. Soon after, Gunnar was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Gunnar is a graduate of Boston College who undergoes daily treatments and takes cystic fibrosis medications. He was a quarterback for his high school football team at Friends Academy in Locust Valley, NY, and played forward on his ice hockey team for the Manhasset/Roslyn varsity hockey team. Gunnar also writes a popular blog and appears daily in a podcast discussing the issues confronting cystic fibrosis patients.
Following his final year at Maryland, Esiason was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals in the second round of the 1984 NFL Draft with the 38th overall pick, surprisingly low considering his successful college career. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. was, in Esiason's words, "going ballistic" that he was still available in the latter stages of the first round. No quarterbacks were drafted in the first round; Esiason was actually the first quarterback selected, as Steve Young had signed with the L.A. Express of the now-defunct United States Football League. Esiason's USFL territorial rights were controlled by the Washington Federals.
He got his first pro start on October 7, 1984, in Cincinnati in a game against the Houston Oilers. On a rainy day, he led the Bengals to a 13–3 win over Houston and scored the game's only touchdown on a three-yard run. He took over for Ken Anderson as the Bengals' full-time starting quarterback on September 22, 1985, in a loss in Cincinnati to the San Diego Chargers and future Hall of Famer Dan Fouts 44–41, becoming the signal caller on what was to become one of the most potent offenses of the late 1980s. He became particularly adept at running the difficult "no huddle" offense devised by Bengal Head Coach Sam Wyche.
Esiason played college football at the University of Maryland for head coaches Jerry Claiborne and Bobby Ross and offensive coordinator Ralph Friedgen. Maryland was the only college to offer him a scholarship. At Maryland, he set 17 school records. He completed 461 of 850 passes (54.2 percent) for 6,169 yards and 42 touchdowns with 27 interceptions. He was a two-time honorable mention All-American in 1982 and 1983. In his final home game, he threw two third-quarter touchdown passes to lead a comeback victory over No. 3 North Carolina and seal the ACC title. He graduated with a B.A. in 1984 and received the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1999.
He attended Timber Point Elementary and East Islip High School, where he graduated in 1979. In high school, he was a three-sport varsity player in football, basketball, and baseball.

During his 14-year career in the National Football League (NFL), he played for the Cincinnati Bengals, New York Jets, and Arizona Cardinals.

Football Nation ranks him as the 25th greatest quarterback of the post-merger era.

This chapter deals further with the technical difficulties of legal classification, and begins to demonstrate how a simple choice between a law and a nonlaw form of agreement does not exist in the peace agreement context. Rather, opting for legal form for peace agreements in intrastate conflict involves sacrificing a correlation between the parties to the written agreement and the parties to the underlying 'agreement'. The chapter analyses whether the difficulty of finding a legal form for peace agreements matters to their implementation, or is a purely academic matter.


There are many different reasons that can cause an engine overheat, but they all have in common three aspects. The three aspects which all engine overheat factors have in common are that they cause that the heating system can not get rid of heat, they cause a loss of coolant or they directly cause too much heat in the engine.
One first problem which might be the cause of an engine overheat is a problem with the radiator cap and the pressure it holds. If the radiator cap does not hold pressure correctly then coolant could boil and therefore the engine would overheat. Another reason might be caused by thermostat failures; it is recommendable that you check it.
The car engine might also overheat due to coolant leaks such as those from the radiator, the hoses, the water pump, the freeze plugs or any others. Also, problems in the water pump could be the cause and therefore you should check it and replace it in case it is needed.
Some other reasons by which the car engine could overheat are problems in the exhaust system which you can discover by checking vacuum readings, pipes and converter. Besides, you should also make sure that the radiator hose has not collapsed and the ignition timing is working properly.
You should also check the electric cooling fan by making sure that the fan motor, the relay and temperature are correct or otherwise it could cause the engine to overheat. Besides this, you should also check the radiator in case there are any debris in it as well as you should check its hose in case it has collapsed.
It is also recommendable that you check the antifreeze concentration which should be 50/50 in order to be correct, otherwise it could cause the car engine to overheat. If you do not find why your engine does overheat, you should ask a mechanic or an expert for advice. You should not try to fix this if you do not have the proper tools and general car knowledge necessary for it.

Pablo Schreiber Talks Proud Moments, Dead Wives & 'Gods' 2nd Season
[Courtesy of Julia Levy, Lionsgate Entertainment]
Pablo Schreiber has been settling chameleon-like into an eclectic array of roles for many years. This week his turn as a ruthless drug dealer in the Tribeca Film Festival offering, Thumper is being released on DVD and VOD. But BGN caught up with Pablo during New York Comic Con weekend to talk about another highly anticipated DVD release: American Gods Season 1. A party hosted by Starz, Fremantle Media and Lionsgate at Manhattan's Stitch Bar served as the backdrop.
Check out my chat with Ricky Whittle who plays Shadow Moon.
Check out Jamie's chat with Yetide Badaki who plays Bilquis.

C.R. Sparrow: What are your proudest moments from Season 1?
Pablo Schreiber: I would say my proudest moment was watching the finished product. Sitting in a movie theater in Austin, Texas during SXSW was the first time I saw it. Sitting in a packed house hearing people appreciate it and seeing how it was affecting them was one of my proudest moments. Then watching Episode 7 was a big one for me, to see my character's arc come full circle and see Mad Sweeney get a little bit of redemption at the end of the season in a humanizing way was a proud moment.
C.R.: Mad Sweeney is a much smaller character in the book. Do you feel a sense of ownership of the character? Do you feel like you really embodied him and brought him to this new audience?
Pablo: Well, I feel a sense of co-ownership with Bryan Fuller and Michael Green. They created the template for me, giving me the words to say, and doing an amazing job writing it. It's a great gift that he only appears in two scenes in the book. There's a massive chunk of time between those two scenes where we now get to create a fresh and interesting story that doesn't change anything from the book. It just fills in the space Neil didn't write about. And I think it was a genius move to combine the characters of Mad Sweeney and Laura because they're these behind-the-scenes characters you don't really get to see too much in the book.
C.R. What would you like to see in season 2?
Pablo: Obviously, I think Sweeney and Laura are a really good match. There's a lot of chemistry between Emily and I, so I want to have more interactions with her and try to play that out fully and see where it goes. I'd love to have some scenes with Mr. Nancy. I think that would be fun. And I want to see what's going to happen with the Wednesday/Sweeney thing. Sweeny's definitely stuck between two camps at this point. I want to see where he falls in that.
CR: Who would Pablo pick?
Pablo: Me? I'd pick Dead Wife, of course! She's cute! Plus Wednesday is just not a good person. He's conniving and manipulative.
CR: Well you could say that about all of them, except maybe Shadow. They're all like that.
Pablo: But that's what I love about the show and the character. On the surface, he and Laura are like the worst people on the show. They're just grotesque and awful and take big chunks out of each other every chance they get. They're foul-mouthed and disgusting, yet they both shine through with heart. You know they're both suffering from mistakes that they've made and you feel bad for them.
CR: Hurt people hurt people.
Pablo: Stop hurting people, hurt people!
CR: What made you take on the challenge of this new genre?
Pablo: Because I hadn't done it before! I like to do things very different from the last thing that I did. And who better to get exposed to this genre than being on a Bryan Fuller show based on a Neil Gaiman book? These guys are legends. I also felt like it wasn't like anything else on TV. It's uniqueness and originality drew me to it. And I liked the things that it had to say about where we're at in our country.

She's still working on it though. Sci-fi/Fantasy blerd with a strong affinity for binging television shows and having lots of feelings about them.

Review: Nioh 2: The First Samurai
Not quite the finale I was expecting
I had hoped – and even started to believe – that Nioh 2 was building up to a thrilling conclusion across its three DLC packs, but the final expansion, The First Samurai, is a bit of a letdown. It's not outright bad, and I'm just out here happy to be playing more Nioh, but this DLC surprisingly missed the mark.
If you're a Nioh 2 season pass owner, great – I think The Tengu's Disciple and Darkness in the Capital already proved their worth with compelling new weapon types, different-enough locales, and motivation to keep toiling away for the good of the grind. As a package deal, the bundle is priced fairly.
Taken on its own, though, The First Samurai lacks impact, originality, and excitement. It feels more like an obligation to get through rather than something you'd be genuinely stoked to dig into and explore.
Nioh 2: The First Samurai (PS4)
Developer: Team Ninja
Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainment
MSRP: $9.99 ($19.99 Season Pass for three DLC packs)
The First Samurai struggles with the classic Nioh 1 "more of the same" problem that we've all felt from time to time. If you aren't in the right headspace – if you aren't feeling the grind – it's a bad place to be.
Apart from a nasty little gremlin and a super-beefy bird demon who both pack a wallop, I mostly felt like I was going through the motions with repurposed yokai designs, something this series has struggled with before. The wildest offender this time? A blinged-out variation of the familiar One-Eyed Oni.
That sameness extends into the two new main-story missions, one of which is a dreary village that leads into a (thankfully more vibrant) flower-filled forest. The other is a cool-in-theory but bland-to-explore "evil island." They're undoubtedly new zones, but they seemed old even on the first run.
The incentive to soak in the atmosphere isn't fully there from a storytelling perspective, either. The First Samurai is another trip through time for our half-yokai hero, and it once again syncs up with Otakemaru, the big bad thorn in our side who's always popping up to cause trouble. That's fine on the surface – I haven't been taking these DLC storylines all that seriously compared to the main-game narrative given the lower-stakes premise – but I was hoping to have at least some earnest moments or supporting characters to latch onto. I felt like I did in the prior Nioh 2 packs, but that wasn't the case here.
Overall, I actually had a better time with the side missions, one of which is a ridiculous gauntlet with a bunch of returning bosses and short breathers in between waves that felt satisfying to clear. And as much as I liked challenging Nyotengu from Dead or Alive and a fierce monk, before I knew it, I was done.
Straight up, you'll get much more out of this DLC if you're an endgame-ready Nioh 2 player.
There are several guardian spirits and new weapon-specific skills to unlock if you aren't there yet, but the real meat is reserved for season pass owners. With the latest update, players who own all three DLC packs can access the final New Game+ difficulty tier, Dream of the Nioh, and The Underworld, a rework of Nioh 1's Abyss endgame that's all about buffing yourself to survive long enough to earn the best loot across highly-repeatable levels. Earning loot for loot's sake? At a certain point, yeah.
I'm not at that point yet – and frankly, I don't know if I ever will be – but it does exist for hardcore players who want to perfect their builds. Keep in mind, you can't access The Underworld until you've beaten Nioh 2 on Dream of the Wise difficulty, so if you haven't been keeping up, it's a long journey.
Your enjoyment of The First Samurai is really going to depend on where you're at with Nioh 2.
The biggest difference-makers, at least for me, were the enemies, the story, and the lack of a new weapon type following the Splitstaff and Clawed Fists. Those elements were a big part of why I enjoyed The Tengu's Disciple and Darkness in the Capital as much as I did, and they're the reason why I was generally underwhelmed by The First Samurai. My expectations didn't match up with reality.
I have so much love for this game as a complete package, and I'm excited to keep going with next year's PlayStation 5 remaster, but I can't shake the feeling that The First Samurai could've done more.
[This review is based on a retail build of the game provided by the publisher.]
Nioh 2: The First Samurai reviewed by Jordan Devore
Slightly above average or simply inoffensive. Fans of the genre should enjoy it a bit, but a fair few will be left unfulfilled.

L.A. SLEEPERS Excerpts: Cab or Uber?
In my novel L.A. SLEEPERS: A Hollywood Ghostwriter Mystery, I love to take cabs— because I hate driving in L.A. traffic, especially in my old Toyota, where I risk heatstroke thanks to the vehicle's broken A/C. I wrote L.A. SLEEPERS in 2014, before UBER gained widespread popularity—as I understand it, the service entered the L.A. market in 2013— and prior to the book's 2016 release, I wondered if I should revise my ride from West Hollywood to Los Feliz from a taxi to an UBER. I opted to keep the passage in a taxi, since my decision to call for a ride is spontaneous—I flag down a cab after I run out of the Target Store at LaBrea and Santa Monica Blvd., following an incident involving a man hired to tail me. In my next novel, L.A. DREAMERS, I will most likely have the UBER app on my smartphone!
Five minutes later, I'm in a cab headed for home—after convincing the driver to stop at an ATM so I can get cash for the fare, another expense added to an already expensive day.
I love riding in cabs—I love it anytime somebody else drives, giving me a chance to sit back and take in the sights. The driver is taking the slow route across Sunset—and Santa Monica Boulevard would be faster and cheaper, but I decide to enjoy the ride. It's a luxury I can't afford, but as long as I'm here, I may as well float on the current of nighttime L.A.
As we drive east, I turn and view the last strands of sunset through the back window. The cab is quiet—no radio, no chatter from the driver—just the buzz of the engine and the whistle of air through the windows. Outside, everything takes on a violet hue, as if all of life's bruisings and batterings have risen to the surface and will soon dissolve into the night. This is when I like L.A. best—and even feel I might love it—when the sun is about to set.
At sundown, I always feel a mixture of nostalgia, romance, regret, and hope—a sublime cocktail that I down with pleasure. Whatever I've gone through during the day—and on this day, it has been a lot—the bittersweet dusk makes it all worthwhile.
It's after eight and the sunlight is bowing out for the day—there are just a few more minutes to witness the glowing glory of it all. I float on the scene, the moving canvas appearing on the window, feeling good, feeling great, feeling all is right, very right, with the world.
My mellow groove dissolves in an instant. I feel a strong vibration and my first thought is . . . earthquake!
The driver shrugs and moves his toothpick from the right side to the left side of his mouth.
Another few seconds go by before I understand that it isn't an earthquake—it's black hoodie's cell phone vibrating in my back pocket. Yes, the buzzing insistency of the world always comes calling when you're enjoying a transcendent moment. So much for the sunset.

2022 US Open Golf Tournament: Dates, Location & Venue Preview, and More!
Geplaatst op juni 1, 2022 door
The United States Open Golf Tournament, also referred to as the US Open, is a yearly tournament dating back over a century. The competition is held in the United States and is one of the major golf championships in the world. Since 1898 when the tournament began, it has been open to both amateur and professional players, hence the name "open."
In 2022, the tournament will be holding its 122nd season. The competition, which will be held at Brookline in Massachusetts, is a 72-hole stroke play game, and it will be played from June 16th to the 19th.
The US Open tournament is hugely anticipated by every golf fan worldwide, even though it's held in the US. Punters, too, are among the anticipators who can't wait to start wagering on golf odds to win some cash. Also, the tournament winner gets to win significant prize money and an invitation to play in the Masters and PGA Championship.
This article will provide you with the necessary information about the forthcoming US Open tournament, including location and venue.
Everything You Need to Know About The US Open Golf Tournament
These are some important information you need to know about the competition:
1. Location and Venue Preview
The 2022 US Open will be held at the Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts. The golf club owns the venue, and they are one of the founding members of the United States Golf Association.
The ground has hosted some notable golf tournaments in the past, so things are expected to go as smoothly as possible. It has also been a partner of the United States Golf Association for a long time, so it's not a surprise to see the golf course hosting the 2022 tournament.
2. Qualification
The US Open Golf tournament is open to both amateurs and professionals, as long as they have a maximum USGA handicap index of 1.4.
Both male and female athletes can compete in qualifying or be given a direct entry through exemption. The number of players allowed for every competition is 156.
For a player to be exempted from the qualification round and granted direct access to the competition, they must be:
The winners of the tournament for the last ten years.
The amateur championship winner of the previous year.
The player championship's winner for the previous three years.
USGA exempted players.
The last US senior open winner.
Top 60 Players in the Official World Golf Ranking 14 days before the tournament and the top 60 on the tournament day.
Current US amateur winner.
US amateur runner-up.
Players who qualified for the tour championship in the previous season.
The winner of McCormack's medal is ranked top of the WAGR and an amateur.
The winner of the year's BMW PGA Championship.
Also, it is important to note that the amateur exemptions are only open to those who maintained their amateur status as of the day of the tournament.
There are two types of qualifications for the US Open. They are:
Local Qualifiers
The local qualifier is played across the United States. The number of people who qualify from local to the final qualifiers depends on the size of the field at each local qualifying event. Last year, 8,680 players participated in the local qualifiers, and 500 qualified for the final qualifying stage.
Final Qualification Rounds
The final qualifying consists of players that advanced from the local qualifying and those exempted from participating in local qualifying.
3. Date of the Tournament and Schedule
The 22 US Open Tournament local qualifications began on April 25th, 2022, and ended on May 23rd. The number of golfers who have qualified from the final qualifying stage will be announced. They will automatically participate in the 2022 US Open Golf Tournament between June 16th and June 19th.
The game for each day holds different times, so it is important to take note of that so you won't miss any games. The schedule for the three-day sports tournament is as follows:
NOTE: All times are written in the Eastern Time Zone.
First round: The first round will take place on June 17th and run from 2-5 pm.
Second round: The tournament's second round will be held the next day between 4-7 pm.
Third round: The 3rd round will be held between 11 am to 7:30 pm.
Fourth round: The fourth round, the last round, will be held between 12 pm and 6 pm on June 19th.
4. Where to Watch the Event
If you can't visit the tournament venue, you can stream the games online. For people in the United States, NBC holds the right to broadcast the tournament, so you can tune in to the designated NBC channels to watch.
You can also stream the games live on Peacock TV or any other online golf channel in the United States.
The US Open is one of the most significant events on the golf calendar in the United States and worldwide. As the 2022 edition of the tournament is fast approaching, it would be great for every golf fan to start planning so as not to miss out on the action.
This article has all the information you need in this regard – as it provides you with details on the date, venue, where to watch, and more.

Q: Interaction quantification in random effects model (varying slopes and intercepts) Random effects models with varying slopes and intercepts use a correlations matrix to pool information across slopes and intercepts. I recall hearing that this matrix is a powerful tool for understanding interactions between variables. But I'm struggling to understand how this might be the case. Say, you estimate the covariance or correlation between two variables to be high, how would this help you understand that they interact in a meaningful way?
For example, say that you measure people's motor skills when given alcohol, opiates or both. It's known that these chemicals have a stronger effect on motor skills together than in isolation. But would a random effects model with varying slopes and intercepts be able to quantify that? How so?

A: The covariance matrix of the random effects can be used to understand the correlation between them, but not for the fixed effects.
In your example, the interaction happens in the fixed effects and the covariance matrix of the random effects does not give any information about it.
Let us admit that in your example, we sampled the motor skill of the same participants multiple times. We can then add and random intercept and also add a random slope for the variable opiates consumption. Let us imagine that the fixed coefficient for this variable is negative (opiates reduce motor skill). If the two random effects are positively correlated (in the covariance matrix of the random effects), it means that individuals with a "higher random intercept" also tend to have a "higher random slope". Here it would mean that participants with good motor skill tend to be less affected by opiates (a positive random slope is added to the negative coefficient).

Even before this week, France's hopes of having a home player at this year's Ryder Cup seemed to be resting on the shoulders of Alex Levy.
Now, with a win at the Trophee Hassan II, the 27-year-old has significantly strengthened his cause, securing his fifth European Tour title – second only now among his compatriots to Thomas Levet's six, the last of which came at the 2011 French Open.
Levy started the final day at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam one shot behind Alvaro Quiros but hit the front on the third and never looked back, signing for a 70 and finishing the week at eight-under-par.
"This feels so good," he said. "I'm a little bit tired now because it was really tough today but I did a really good job today. For me, I played an amazing game. I'm so happy to win this trophy.
"Like what I said from the start of the season, I need to improve my game," he said of his Ryder Cup chances. "I need to work a lot. I worked a lot the last two days, two weeks, and I won this trophy.
In his five other European Tour events this season, Levy has three top tens and the win has moved him to ninth in the European Points List ranking for qualification for the team. It has also moved him up 19 places in the world rankings from 66 to 47.

Q: Delphi FireMonkey Button StyleLookup Icon color 10.1.2 can use IconTintColor properties to set the styleLookup icon color. How about 10.2?
Now I'm using the fillrgbeffect control to change the color, but when you click on the button, the stylelookup icon has a color around the icon and icon.This is not what I want

The original properties can only be used on android.

Here is the method I use now.

*

*Create a new filemonkey application;

*Add a button control to the form and set the stylelookup for any property value;

*Add a TFillRGBEffect control, then attach the TFillRGBEffect control to the button, and set the color property of the TFillRGBEffect to any color, so that the stylelookup icon of the button changes color.

But when I run the program, and you click on button, there's also a color value outside of the icon, and I just want to change the color of the stylelookup icon, which is the same thing when I click on it.
In version 10.1.2, you can set the icontintcolor property of button directly, but 10.2 doesn't know how to do it.
