Q: Any suggestion how can I do this better? First I would like to say sorry that I didn't use english but you will have the general idea of what I am trying to do.
Create class subjects variables and characteristics / properties:
- kodiILendes
- emriILendes
- nota
The method Main should make it possible for users to introduce these data, code
file, the file name and grade.
You need to create objects for 5 subjects
Make use of accessories (get and set), to mark So while you should assign grades should not be
less than 5 and also must not be greater than 10.
And to submit your average for this semester format, p.sh .: "Your Average
It is 9.3 ".
class Lendet
{
    public int kodiIlendes;
    public string emriIlendes;

    private int nota;
    public int Nota {
        get {
            return nota;
        }
        set {
            if (value > 5 && value <= 10)
            {
                nota = value;
            }
            else {
                Console.WriteLine("Nota duhet te jet me e > se 5 dhe nuk duhet te jet me e > se 10 ");
            }
        }
    }

}

 static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Lendet Anglisht = new Lendet();
            Anglisht.kodiIlendes = 100;
            Anglisht.emriIlendes = "Anglisht";
            Anglisht.Nota = 10;
        }

Now lets imagine I created the 5 objects and I want to find the average.How can I do that ?
One way is like this Console.WriteLine(x.Nota+y.Nota+z.Nota+b.Nota+c.Nota/5)

A: class Lendet
{
    public int kodiIlendes;
    public string emriIlendes;
    public static float sum;
    public static int count;

    public Lendet()
{
count++;
}
    private int nota;
    public int Nota {
        get {
            return nota;
        }
        set {
            if (value > 5 && value <= 10)
            {
                sum =sum+value;
                nota = value;
            }
            else {
                Console.WriteLine("Nota duhet te jet me e > se 5 dhe nuk duhet te jet me e > se 10 ");
            }
        }
    }

}

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //create object1
            // create object2
           //......create object n
          Console.WriteLine(Lendet.sum/Lendet.count);
        }

create two static variables, one for count of objects created and other for sum. Divide second by first to get the average.

A: My approach, with history:
class Lendet
{
     public int Nota { get; private set; }
     public Lendet(int nota)
     {
          this.Nota = nota;
          LendetHistory.Add(this);
     }
}

static class LendetHistory
{
     private static List<Lendet> lendets = new List<Lendet>();
     public static float Average()
     {
          if(lendets.Count < 1)
                  return 0;

          return lendets.Select(s => s.Nota).Average();
     }
     public static void Add(Lendet lendet)
     {
          lendets.Add(lendet);
     }
}

use in code:
  var k = new Lendet(10);
  var c = new Lendet(20);
  Console.WriteLine(LendetHistory.Average());

and with that approach you can expand your logic


Co-author Rob Loggia is a white hat hacker and has worked with McAfee doing research and data collection for as far back as McAfee can remember.
The percentage of the population that has some form of tech savvy is higher than it has ever been. Many 21st century grandmothers know how to tweet using their iPhones and they no longer makes a funny face when told to "Google" something. Progress. And our level of dependence on computer systems in business and industry is complete. Computers are everywhere, and they now power the infrastructure and processes that make everything go. And the more we come to depend on these systems, the higher the stakes when someone tries to harm us by hacking them.
Behind the Internet of networked computers that everyone sees and uses on a daily basis lies another, deeper realm that can be collectively termed the Internet Underground. This underground consists of the deep web and the dark web. The deep web is the collection of information that is available on networked computers, but is not indexed by search engines and other typical data-retrieval tools. The dark web consists of overlay networks that use the same infrastructure as the public web, but require special tools and knowledge to access. Both lay beyond the casual reach of the typical Internet user.
The Internet Underground represents a playground for hackers. Here can be found troves of information, never intended to be publicly shared, that can be used to create havoc in the physical world. It also contains a wealth of information that can be used to gain even more sensitive data from private networks and computers – information that fuels the attack vector for most successful hacking attempts.
A look at the world's worst hacks reveals a common pattern: Most were not accomplished by using sophisticated hacking tools or brute force attacks on security mechanisms. Consider one of the worst of these – the 2012 attack on Saudi Aramco, one of the world's largest oil companies. Within hours, nearly 35,000 distinct computer systems had their functionality crippled or destroyed, causing a massive disruption to the world's oil supply chain. It was made possible by an employee that was fooled into clicking a bogus link sent in an email. This is social engineering.
In fact 90 percent of hacking is social engineering. We – the user – are the weakest link in the chain of computing trust, imperfect by nature. And all of the security software and hardware in the world will not keep a door shut if an authorized user can be convinced to open it.
The good news is that there are patterns that we can look at and, in some cases, use to predict where the next attack may fall. Experienced hackers don't concern themselves much with your firewalls, anti-spyware software, anti-virus software, encryption technology, etc. They want to identify human weakness. If they're targeting a company, they might examine whether management personnel are frequently shuffled; whether employees are dissatisfied; whether nepotism is tolerated; whether IT managers have stagnated in their training and self improvement. They want to know what level of transparency exists within the corporation and how bloated the chain of command is. In short – they want to know how healthy and nimble the organization is.
Information wants to be free; like water it will flow freely once released from its container.
While anyone is susceptible to an attack at any time, hackers, like anyone else, will tend to go after the low-hanging fruit. Why go after a tightly-knit organization of competent, satisfied professionals supported by a stable IT staff unless there is a tremendous and unique payoff promised? There would be greater risk involved, and the chances of success would be low. Instead they will target an organization with identified human and structural problems.
To make this identification, hackers have traditionally turned to the Internet Underground. But recently it has started to become even easier. The Internet Underground is beginning to spill over into the mainstream web. Shocking types of information that used to be available only for a price on the dark web can now be found using simple Web searches or mobile apps. And found by anyone. While some of this information may seem innocuous to the untrained eye, the fact is that much of it is manna falling from hacker heaven.
What this means is that protecting systems and networks against successful attack just got harder, and will require us to take a good look at ourselves and our organizations. IT professionals are accustomed to securing hardware and software. But how well do you know the human side of your technology? Is there information about your organization or your personal life out there, right now, migrating out of the Internet Underground to appear in simple web searches? Does this information make you, your family, or your organization an attractive target?
Answering these questions honestly and taking the time to find out for ourselves what information is already available about us needs to become required best practices for security. We are accustomed to securing systems and networks against sophisticated teams of hackers. But information wants to be free; like water it will flow freely once released from its container. Are you prepared for a world where grandma or anyone else can quickly obtain, on the wide open Web, all of the necessary information for a social-engineering hack? Are you prepared?

We've all had days where we look in the mirror and just don't like what we see. Maybe we're carrying extra weight or we've spotted that first gray hair. For me, one of those days came this year. I'm adjusting to a new schedule to set aside time for blog writing, as well as coursework at the University of Pennsylvania in social impact strategies. Add six states in a legislative session, missing a gym day here, skipping a workout while traveling, and the next thing I knew I gained nearly TEN pounds. My weight gain has me hitting the gym hard these days. Angela Beeler's day of reckoning with the mirror led her to co-found a business, REFIT, that's become hugely successful, sparking its own movement within the fitness world.
In 2009, Angela had just become a mom of three. Her youngest was a year old. Looking in the mirror one day, she looked and felt way older than she was, so she marched into a fitness class at the YMCA and after just the first 15 minutes of the class thought she was going to puke. That kick-started her personal health journey, which is how she met her two business partners and co-founders Catherine Ballas and Emily Field. They began teaching fitness classes together, and in 2011, they officially launched REFIT.
You might be wondering how a fitness company fits in with movement building. Today, REFIT has thousands of #firestarter instructors across the country and 270,000 subscribers on YouTube. And REFIT has grown completely organically. These ladies don't have a lot of money to throw at marketing and advertising and instead rely on social media and word-of-mouth. And here's the best part: their brand is so successful because they go against the grain of your typical fitness company, and they have never strayed from their core values. That's a key to any successful movement.
Here's what you won't find in a REFIT class: an intimidating instructor leading a group of phenomenally toned women decked out in perfectly matched attire who look like they belong in a fitness magazine. And there's nothing wrong with that, but Angela, Catherine, and Emily understood that many women weren't comfortable in that setting and wanted to provide an alternative, one that valued internal transformation just as much as external.
That message has really resonated. After the REFIT co-founders began posting choreography online, women began reaching out asking when more workout videos would be available. They wanted to know how they could bring REFIT to the women in their lives and communities. The rest, as they say, is history.
Feeling alone is something all movement builders feel at some point. Building a movement means stepping out and doing something different. Being willing to go against the grain takes courage, something the REFIT co-founders have in spades. Movement building also takes patience, it often means going the long route and not compromising values for the sake of expediency and easy successes. Staying true to you and to your movement's core values pays off in the end. That's why the REFIT following will continue to grow. Now it's onward to 500k followers and beyond. I can't wait to see where their journey takes them.
P.S. This is a big week for the REFIT team. If you follow them on Instagram you'll see they are launching a new line of apparel. Cheer them on as they build a movement from inside out and drop them a line of support. And heck, follow me on Instagram, too. Send me spirit fingers or woo hoo when you see me at the gym. I need some motivation these days- 2 pounds down, 7 more to go!

St. Dennis
Tredhinas
The clay workers village
Web: www.stdennis.org.uk
St. Dennis Parish Council
The village of St. Dennis is situated on the B3279 between Newquay and St. Austell. The village had a population of 2,810 at the 2011 census. A quarter of the male population is employed in the china clay industry. The village is famous for its church built on the site of an Iron age hillfort. Other major buildings include the Methodist chapel and the Boscawen Hotel.
St. Dennis originated as several smaller settlements: Hendra, Trelavour and Whitepit. The area's population grew rapidly after William Cookworthy discovered china clay in the area in 1768.
The area is characterised by tips and pits of china clay mining but St. Dennis village itself is designated an 'island settlement' which prevents encroachment by the china clay industry. Much of the parish is up to 500 feet above sea level, and the countryside is moorland with small fields enclosed by earth-covered granite walls known as 'hedges'. These hedges were constructed centuries ago, when the land was cleared for farming.
The church is situated on top of a hill overlooking the village and has views over Goss Moor to the sea at Newquay. It was dedicated to St. Denys in 1327 and stands on the site of an Iron Age fort. The tower is the oldest part of the church, and the newer church was almost destroyed by fire in 1985. Although heartbreaking at the time, it has risen again from the ashes. The new roof timbers were so large that they had to be lifted in by a helicopter.
The village also has a strong history of Methodism and at one stage there were three Methodist chapels in the village. Of these three, Carne Hill is the only chapel which is still open to this day.
Over the years the China Clay and stone industry was serviced by a railway passing through the edge of the village and a mineral junction to the west of the village bore the village name, St. Dennis Junction. The railway and the station closed in 1960.
During the late 1980's and 1990's however, the china clay industry began to decline. In its heyday the village enjoyed many different shops including a Co-op store, several hairdressers (both men and ladies), four petrol filling stations and car repair workshops, two schools, two GP surgeries, chemist, fire station, blacksmiths, coal-yard, two pubs, cobblers, two fish and chip shops, two bakeries, two chapels, post office, undertaker, launderette, furniture showroom, working men's club, band club, football club and the Plaza Cinema. Sadly many of these have now closed, the Plaza closing its doors and being demolished in 1964. The village Post Office closed on the 8th April 2015.
The infant school in St. Dennis has been amalgamated with the new primary school, and the old building has been refurbished and is now used as an outreach centre called ClayTAWC.
St. Dennis Band is based in the village, and has a history of competing with some of the world's top bands. The Band recently gained Championship Status in 2009. The village has three clubs, the St. Dennis Working Men's Club, the St. Dennis Band Club, and the St. Dennis Association Football Club.
The Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre is an incinerator being built near St. Dennis by French company SITA. The first planning application was submitted in 2008. The initial planning application was rejected in 2009 following opposition by the Parish Council over worried about the effects of pollution and extra traffic. Following a Public Inquiry 2011 permission was granted and construction began in 2012. A later High Court challenge from the Cornwall Waste Forum delayed construction and the case went to the Court of Appeal at the Royal Courts of Justice which unanimously rejected the Cornwall Waste Forum's claim in March 2012. A further challenge at the Supreme Court also failed. Work restarted in August 2012 which is being carried out by CORMAC, a company wholly owned by Cornwall Council. SITA claim that the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre (CERC) will benefit Cornwall by diverting 90 per cent of the county's residual waste away from landfill and will generate sixteen megawatts of electricity. The local community has received hundreds of thousands of pounds in compensation. Testing began in August 2016.

The Guardian Launches Sea Prayer VR Experience by Acclaimed Author Khaled Hosseini
The Guardian is pleased to announce the launch of Sea Prayer, the publication's latest virtual reality (VR) project, written by Khaled Hosseini and narrated by BAFTA Award winning actor Adeel Akhtar.
To commemorate the second anniversary of the tragic death of Alan Kurdi, the three-year-old Syrian boy who drowned whilst attempting to reach Greece in 2015, UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and acclaimed author Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner; A Thousand Splendid Suns; And the Mountains Echoed) has written Sea Prayer, an imagined letter in the form of a monologue, from a Syrian father to his son lying asleep on his lap, on the eve making the sea crossing to Europe to see refuge and safety.
Sea Prayer is the first narrative animated virtual reality film created using Tilt Brush, a tool for painting in a 3D space with virtual reality. Using this tool, the Guardian's in-house VR team, in collaboration with acclaimed VR artist Liz Edwards, have brought Hosseini's sensitive imagining of this letter to life.
Narrated by Adeel Akhtar, who plays the role of the father in the piece, the poetic text reflects back on the great city Homs the father grew up in, now a devastated war zone which he and his son are being forced to leave behind, and the dangerous sea crossings that lie ahead.
Throughout Sea Prayer, Hosseini's powerful story is brought to life for viewers through Liz Edwards's illustrations. Using Tilt Brush as a storytelling tool, Sea Prayer develops around the viewer, with vivid images growing and new characters coming into view as the story progresses allowing the viewer to be immersed in the story as it is being narrated to them.
The piece is accompanied by a moving score, composed for Sea Prayer by Sahba Aminikia, an Iranian-American contemporary classical music composer, and performed by award-winning string quartet Kronos Quartet and musician David Coulter, who is widely regarded as one of the world's foremost musical saw players.
Francesca Panetta, executive editor, virtual reality, Guardian News & Media, said:
"We're delighted to have been able to work with UNHCR's Goodwill Ambassador Khaled Hosseini to bring his incredibly sensitive imaging of a letter from a Syrian father to his son to life. Using Tilt Brush technology for the first time in this way, Sea Prayer explores a new immersive form – 360 illustrated narratives. We have worked with the best artists in this field to create a story that truly unfolds around the viewer, providing them with insight into the experiences that many migrants are forced to endure when making a dangerous escape from war."
Khaled Hosseini, author and Goodwill Ambassador for UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, said:
"I am a father of two. My immediate reaction upon seeing the photo of little Alan's body lying limp on a Turkish beach – even before I considered the indelible place the picture was bound to hold in the sad lexicon of the Syrian war – was how unimaginably bludgeoning the loss was to his father. I am not, thanks to random good fortune, one of the countless fathers in Syria to have buried a son or daughter. But I know a father's feral need to protect his children, and writing Sea Prayer, I knew this was my truest entry point.
"As the drownings in the Mediterranean Sea sadly continue, I hope that this collaboration helps keep alive the memory of Alan Kurdi, and that it serves as reminder of the unfathomable desperation that forces families to risk all they have in search of hope and safety on another shore, across the waters. This is a choice that no one, and certainly not a father, makes lightly. We all have an individual duty to let our Governments know that we stand #WithRefugees and that we welcome the urgent expansion of alternative and safe pathways for those in need of international protection."
Liz Edwards, 3D and virtual reality artist, said:
"Working on Sea Prayer has been an amazing experience. It's an absolute honour to bring Khaled's writing to life in 3D with Tilt Brush – I hope I've done it, the city and the people justice."
Sea Prayer is available to download from the Guardian VR app and can be viewed on Google Cardboard and Daydream.

McDonald's reinstates mask mandate for all customers, staff
Oliver Cook | TheBL 08/03/21, 04:18

On Monday, Aug. 2, McDonald's Corp said that all customers and employees, whether vaccinated or not, will be required to wear masks inside its U.S. restaurants in areas with high or considerable transmission.
As USA Today reports, with 14,000 locations across the United States, McDonald's is the largest national corporation to adopt a mask requirement for employees and customers.
The change came after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended last week that fully vaccinated persons wear masks in some indoor spaces, contradicting its former guideline that fully vaccinated people could go maskless in most scenarios.
Other large retailers, such as Walmart, Target, and Kohl's, have reinstated mask requirements for their employees but have refrained from enforcing them for consumers. Instead, they are urging clients to wear masks, The Hill reported.
Last week, Apple became the first big corporation to reinstate its mask requirement for both staff and customers, citing a need for caution.
USA Today reports that Apple's mask rule will only affect around half of its 270 locations in the U.S.
According to the latest CDC data, Covid-19 instances increased by 64.1 percent in the week ending July 30 compared to the previous week, or an average of 66,606 cases per day. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported a seven-day average of 6,071 new hospital admissions with Covid-19, up 44 percent from the average for the week of July 16-22. According to the Wall Street Journal, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky stated that more than 97 percent of Covid-19 patients entering hospitals nationwide were unvaccinated.

Translating the 'language of behavior' with artificially intelligent motion capture
Thursday, Dec 20, 2018
The researchers on the project include (from left): Michail Kislin, a postdoctoral research associate; Lindsay Willmore, a graduate student; Prof. Joshua Shaevitz; Prof. Sam Wang; Talmo Pereira, a graduate student; and Prof. Mala Murthy. Photo by Denise Applewhite, Office of Communications
You might have seen Hollywood stars in "motion capture" suits, acting in full-body costumes peppered with sensors that let a computer transform them into a Hulk or a dragon or an enchanted beast.
Now, a collaboration between the labs of Princeton professors Mala Murthy and Joshua Shaevitz has gone a step further, using the latest advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically track animals' individual body parts in existing video.
Their new tool, LEAP Estimates Animal Pose (LEAP), can be trained in a matter of minutes to automatically track an animal's individual body parts over millions of frames of video with high accuracy, without having to add any physical markers or labels.
"The method can be used broadly, across animal model systems, and it will be useful to measuring the behavior of animals with genetic mutations or following drug treatments," said Murthy, an associate professor of molecular biology and the Princeton Neuroscience Institute (PNI).
The paper detailing the new technology will be published in the January 2019 issue of the journal Nature Methods, but its open-access version, released in May, has already led to the software being adopted by a number of other labs.
When the researchers combine LEAP with other quantitative tools developed in their labs, they can study what they call "the language of behavior" by observing patterns in animal body movements, said Shaevitz, a professor of physics and the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics.
"This is a flexible tool that can in principle be used on any video data," said Talmo Pereira, a PNI graduate student who is the first author on the paper. "The way it works is to label a few points in a few videos and then the neural network does the rest. We provide an easy-to-use interface for anyone to apply LEAP to their own videos, without having any prior programming knowledge."
When asked if LEAP worked as well on large mammals as it did on the flies and mice that made up most of the initial subjects, Pereira promptly created a motion-tagged video of a giraffe taken from the live feed from Mpala Research Centre in Kenya, a field research station for which Princeton is managing partner.
"We took a video of a walking giraffe from the Mpala research station … and labeled points in 30 video frames, which took less than an hour," Pereira said. "LEAP was then able to track motion from the entire rest of the video (roughly 500 frames) in seconds."
Previous efforts to develop AI tools that could track human motion have relied on large training sets of manually annotated data. That allowed the software to work robustly on diverse kinds of data, with vastly different backgrounds or lighting conditions.
"In our case, we optimized similar methods to work on data collected in a laboratory setting, in which conditions are consistent across recordings," said Murthy. "We built a system that allows the user to choose a neural network appropriate for the kind of data that the user collected rather than being constrained by what other researchers or companies have worked on."
This project arose from a unique collaboration between a senior thesis student in the Murthy lab, Diego Aldarondo of the Class of 2018, and his graduate student mentor, Pereira, who is jointly advised by Murthy and Shaevitz.
"Diego was exploring the use of deep neural networks for annotating animal behavioral data via one of his computer science classes at Princeton, and over late-night chats in the lab with Talmo, he realized that these methods could be powerfully applied to their own data: videos of fruit flies interacting during their courtship ritual," said Murthy. "The collaboration took off from there, and it was incredible fun to work together — Diego and Talmo showed how effective these AI methods can be."
The work has great potential outside of neuroscience as well, said Monica Daley, a senior lecturer at the Structure and Motion Laboratory of the Royal Veterinary College in the United Kingdom, who was not involved in this research.
"Much of my research aims to understand how animals move effectively under different terrain and environmental conditions," Daley said. "One of the biggest ongoing challenges in the field is pulling meaningful information about animal movement from video footage. We either process videos manually, requiring many hours of tedious work, or focus on very simplistic and limited analysis that can be automated. The algorithms presented in this paper have potential to automate the labor-intensive part of our work more than has been possible previously, which could allow us to study a greater variety of animal locomotor behaviors."
Once they have a database of motion and behaviors, the neuroscientists on the team can draw connections to the neural processes behind them. This will allow researchers "to not only gain a better understanding of how the brain produces behaviors," said Shaevitz, "but also to explore future diagnostics and therapies that rely on a computer interpreting someone's actions."
A similar tool was shared over the summer by a team of Harvard researchers, who used existing neural network architecture, whereas the Princeton team created their own. "Our method and theirs have different advantages," said Murthy. "This is an incredibly exciting field right now with a lot of activity in developing AI tools for studies of behavior and neural activity."
"We use a different approach, where smaller, leaner networks can achieve high accuracy by specializing on new datasets quickly," said Pereira. "More importantly, we show that there are now easy-to-use options for animal pose tracking via AI, and we hope that this encourages the field to begin to adopt more quantitative and precise approaches to measurement of behavior."
"In the last five years, neuroscience has made enormous strides in the technology observing and manipulating brain activity," said co-author Samuel Wang, a professor of molecular biology and PNI. "Now, automatic classification of behavior adds a critical complement to that technology. Princeton is becoming a central hub in the budding field of computational neuroethology."
"Fast animal pose estimation using deep neural networks" by Talmo Pereira, Diego Aldarondo, Lindsay Willmore, Mikhail Kislin, Samuel Wang, Mala Murthy and Joshua Shaevitz was released online on Dec. 20 and published in the January 2019 issue of Nature Methods. The research was supported by the National Institutes of Health R01-NS104899-01 BRAIN Initiative Award, R01-MH115750 and R01-NS045193; the National Science Foundation through a BRAIN Initiative EAGER Award and GRFP DGE-1148900; the Nancy Lurie Marks Family Foundation; and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Faculty Scholar Award.

Midtown Manhattan's 5 Best Pocket Parks
November 5, 2014 / 6:00 AM / CBS New York
"Last night a D.J. saved my life," goes the song. "Yesterday a pocket park saved my life" doesn't have quite the same lyrical ring. But when you work within the skyscrapers of Midtown Manhattan, or simply spend enough time walking in their shadows, you become grateful for the peace and greenery provided by these tiny parks. What follows are five of the most delightful. By Jessica Allen.

A few years ago, Greenacre Park was named one of the best parks in the world by Project for Public Spaces, joining Central Park and Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, among others. Not bad for a park that's only 60 feet by 120 feet. The centerpiece is a 25-foot waterfall that utterly drowns out the traffic and street noise. A small outpost of Birdbath Neighborhood Green Bakery serves treats, while a custodian makes sure people follow the rules, including no feet on seats and no photos.
Like a lot of Manhattan's pocket parks, the one next door to the Connaught Tower apartment building could be classified as "privately owned public space." That is, the city doesn't maintain the park, but the land's owners allow in people who don't live or work in the building. On sunny afternoons, this little idyl is full of office workers, kids and nannies, construction workers, and folks waiting for the India Visa Center across 53rd Street to open.
Some tables, some chairs, a waterfall—this park would be pleasant yet fairly unremarkable but for the 20-foot-high, several-thousand-pound hunk of Berlin Wall plopped up on the west side. Yes, the real Berlin Wall. Painted by German artists Thierry Noir and Kiddy Citny in 1985, this portion of the wall was once situated along the Waldemarstrasse. Today it stands as a reminder of how history works: what once seemed permanent or impenetrable may, over time, prove to be just another really cool-looking piece of art.

It's one thing to sit next to rushing water; quite another to actually walk through it. Part of the McGraw-Hill Building, a little plaza connects 48th to 49th Street. But to get from one street to the other, you'll have to enter a plexiglas tunnel as water plunges, pours, and splashes around you. No raincoats required, though, as the plexiglas does the trick. Honestly. You will, however, need some patience, as the mouth of either end of the tunnel serves as a popular photo opp.
"Pocket park" might be pushing it as a description for the Tudor City Greens. "Magical oasis" might be a more apt way of describing these two parks, accessible via twin staircases on either side of East 42nd Street, and offering great views of the United Nations and Tudor City, a charming residential complex. An extremely active group of volunteers maintains the two parks and hosts various events, including the annual art show and several planting and clean-up days. And maintain them they do, with pebble-strewn paths, fauna, foliage, and flowers, lots and lots of flowers.

Unheard Prince 'Piano & A Microphone 1983′ Album Announced
Jacinta Howard
Jacinta Howard Published: June 7, 2018
The Prince Estate / Allen Beaulieu
Two years after his untimely death in April 2016, the Prince estate along with Warner Bros. Records have announced a new album from the music icon, to commemorate what would have been his 60th birthday (June 7).
The album, Piano & a Microphone 1983, stands at nine tracks and features a previously unreleased home studio cassette recording of Prince at his piano captured in 1983. The deluxe edition will feature liner notes written by Prince's engineer, Don Batts, as well as never before seen images of Prince.
"This raw, intimate recording, which took place at the start of Prince's career right before he achieved international stardom, is similar in format to the Piano & A Microphone Tour that he ended his career with in 2016," said Prince Estate entertainment adviser Troy Carter. "The estate is excited to be able to give fans a glimpse of his evolution and show how his career ultimately came full circle with just him and his piano."
The album finds Prince in creation mode, working on songs that would later show up on subsequent albums in fully developed form. Tracks including, "17 Days" and "Purple Rain" (both released in 1984), a cover of Joni Mitchell's "A Case of You," "Strange Relationship" (issued in 1987 on the Sign O' The Times album) and "International Lover," as well as "Mary Don't You Weep" (included above) show up on the collection, the latter of which will be heard on the end credits of Spike Lee's upcoming film BlacKkKlansman, which arrives this August.
The album cover, taken by Prince's longtime photographer, Allen Beaulieu, is a rare shot of Prince backstage during his 1999 tour. Beaulieu also shot Prince's Controversy and Dirty Mind album covers, and additionally, shot promo photos for 1999.
The announcement of a new Prince album coincides with his friend, Questlove's announcement that he's honoring Prince with 4U: A Symphonic Celebration of Prince, a 30-city tour which kicks off in early September.

Hidden In Plain Sight.
Freethinkers Anonymous > American Graffiti. > Hidden In Plain Sight.
Author: Christopher Waldrop April 8, 2017 4 Comments
Every artist wants their work to be seen, right? Actually if there's one thing I've learned after years of studying art it's that the one thing that's true of art is there are no absolutes. There are artists who work in silence, who work only for themselves, creating works that may not be found until after their deaths—obvious examples being Van Gogh who only sold a couple of paintings in his lifetime and for the most part wasn't trying to please anybody but himself, and Emily Dickinson who, although she tried to publish a handful of poems, did most of her work in private.
And at the other end of the spectrum there are artists who deliberately seek fame and attention; although this is largely a modern phenomenon there have probably always been artists who courted the rich and powerful, even if it meant doing the bidding of the king and his court.
One of the interesting things to me about graffiti is it seems to fall somewhere in between. Artists create works that are publicly visible but they're usually very personal. Take this, for instance.
Yes, there are a lot of layers to "very personal" art. No artist, no matter how personal their art, is working in a vacuum. They're influenced by other artists, by history, by the world around them, and by myriad other factors. Why'd you choose that design? It's sort of what other people do. Why'd you choose that color? Maybe it was all that was available. In fact there have been fads for certain colors because they became available—blue began to appear more in 19th century Japanese prints, for instance, because of the discovery of a new blue pigment, but that's another story. Every work of art represents a number of choices, but only some of those choices are deliberate on the artist's part—there are also a lot that are made by circumstances.
To get back to my point about artists wanting their work to be seen, though, here's a broader view of where that piece is located.
The work is pretty large and the artist deliberately placed it high on a building on Nashville's Charlotte Avenue, which is a major street with lots of traffic. But it's placed on the side of the building, facing a side street that most people won't take unless they live in the neighborhood or take a wrong turn. And even then you really have to be standing in just the right spot to see it. One of the reasons I didn't get a closer picture, aside from all the NO TRESPASSING signs and fences and some guy looking at me suspiciously, is I couldn't see a way to get closer and still be able to see the work, aside from climbing up on the building, and maybe I should have asked that guy, "Hey, could you give me a leg up here, and maybe also a ladder?"
There are a lot of reasons the artist probably chose that exact spot—most of them not really choices but rather a matter of circumstances, but I like to think there was some intention there, that the answer to, "Why'd you choose that spot?" would be, "Because I wanted people to make an effort to see it."
Now here's an Emily Dickinson poem.
The Poets light but Lamps —
Themselves — go out —
The Wicks they stimulate
If vital Light
Inhere as do the Suns —
Each Age a Lens
Disseminating their
Circumference —
Where We Live.
The People You Meet.
There's A Word For It.
Give Me That Old Time Religion
The Story Goes On.

I love seeing your graffiti pictures and hearing your thoughts on art. I always imagined Nashville to be a vibrant, affluent place but some of your pictures show a different story. Is it because you are drawn to more barren areas of Nashville where graffiti may be more prevalent or am I wrong in thinking Nashville is a shiny, vibrant place?
Your thoughts on artists wanting their work to be seen or not is interesting. As a developing artist bumbling along doing my own thing, i used to find it really hard to let anyone see anything I did because it was so personal. But I gradually went from that to being able to freely share my work online or in exhibitions with no concern about being judged. What does it matter? People will either like what we do or they won't. Or, they may have no opinion at all. But I will never stop enjoying what I do regardless of what anyone thinks because it is the process I enjoy, not the end product. Creating with colour is more powerful than meditation for me.
Nashville really is a shiny, vibrant place, but every city has its seedy underside. I'm also old enough to remember when Nashville had a seedy overside, but that's another story. The really interesting thing about the particular spot where I found this particular graffiti is that the area around it is undergoing terrific redevelopment at the moment. There are new restaurants and shops coming in and there's a very nice shiny new apartment building, although it's placed next to train tracks. And the apparently abandoned industrial lot where I found this graffiti is on the other side of the tracks–literally the "wrong" side of the tracks. In the midst of all that's shiny and new is this which some people might call an eyesore. There's a larger metaphor in that–several metaphors, really.
Anyway I'm glad you've been able to show your work publicly. I know just creating is therapeutic, even if it's just for yourself, but it can also be a real boost to have people like something you've made.
Ann Koplow April 8, 2017 at 04:42
I want my work to be seen, Chris, and I am influenced by many others, including you and Emily Dickinson.
I have seen your comment here and your work elsewhere, and I am glad for it.

Terry Fox Laboratory
Developing eye-drops at no-cost to patients
The BC Cancer Excellence Awards highlight the incredible individuals and teams who work to ensure that British Columbians receive world-class, patient-centred cancer screening, treatment and support, or benefit from new discoveries that are helping change the face of cancer.
Giovanna Cameron, supervisor of the Clinical Cell Therapy Laboratory (CCTL), was recognized with a 2020 BC Cancer Excellence Award in the category of Patient Care Champion (nominated by staff).
Giovanna's work includes developing eye drops using a patient's own cells to help combat symptoms of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) in transplant patients.
As the dispensing fees for these drops increased for patients, Giovanna pursued alternate methods to try and bring the costs down, and eventually found a way to develop the drops in-house at no cost to patients.
To date she has helped over 100 patients. This year, she helped organize the logistics of patient cells picked up and dropped off at the lab saving the patient from having to come into the lab during COVID-19.
Below are a couple of quotes describing Giovanna's innovative work submitted by her colleagues and a patient:
"Giovanna came forward last year with an offer to prepare and dispense the autologous serum eye drops directly from the CCTL at no cost to the patient. This new system has worked extremely well and many patients have expressed relief and thanks."
"I would like to say that if it weren't for Giovanna's determination and strong attitude, I and many would have had a more difficult cancer journey."
We had a chance to connect with Giovanna on her work. Get to know Giovanna in the short Q&A below:
1. Can you tell us about your role at BC Cancer?
I am the supervisor of the Clinical Cell Therapy Laboratory. Our laboratory provides cell manufacturing of Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell (HPC) products for the Leukemia Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) Program for all adults in B.C. and the Yukon.
I have worked at BC Cancer for 35 years and have watched the program grow from its infancy in the mid-80s. We are an accredited laboratory with Health Canada and the Foundation for Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT). One of my proudest moments was passing our first FACT accreditation with minimal citations.
2. How did you feel when it was announced that you're a BC Cancer Excellence Award winner?
I was honoured and humbled to be recognized for our work in creating autologous serum eye drops for patients that have GVHD of the eyes at no charge to the patients. The laboratory works as a team and we strive to ensure that all the patients of the Leukemia BMT program of B.C. receive the highest standard of care.
3. Tell us something about you that most people don't know - about a hobby or passion, or something else.
I am a hobby potter and have been an executive member of the Fraser Valley Potter's Guild for the last 10 years. My work is both sculptural and functional and I predominantly fire in a wood or soda kiln. I have participated in the craft fairs at the BCCRI for many years with some of the funds going to cancer research.
Giovanna is an invaluable resource and truly deserving of this Patient Care Champion Award. Congratulations Giovanna!
The BC Cancer Excellence Awards celebrate the passion and remarkable contributions of BC Cancer staff, and highlight some outstanding examples of how our people are making a difference for British Columbians facing cancer. For more information on our awards, visit bccancer.bc.ca/awards.
BC Cancer Foundation is the fundraising partner of BC Cancer, which includes BC Cancer Research. Together with our donors, we are changing cancer outcomes for British Columbians by funding innovative research and personalized treatment and care.

Top Trump VP candidate on abortion: "I think women have to be able to choose"
AllahpunditPosted at 2:01 pm on July 10, 2016
Is it fair to call him the frontrunner? Yesterday's splashy WaPo story about Flynn's rise through the VP ranks didn't use that word specifically, but it sure made it sound like he's the guy Trump is looking at most closely right now.
He's a Democrat, pro-choice, and apparently a friendly acquaintance of Vladimir Putin. He'll fit right in.
After weeks of focusing on a group of current and former elected officials in his search for a running mate, Donald Trump is increasingly intrigued by the idea of tapping retired Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn to project strength and know-how on national security, according to four people familiar with the vetting process…
The turn toward a military figure is being driven by Trump himself rather than by his advisers, the people said, and comes as the real estate mogul is telling his friends that national unrest may demand a "tough and steady" presence alongside him on the ticket.
In Flynn, they added, Trump thinks he would have a partner whom he trusts, based on their close working relationship over the course of the campaign on policy. And he likes the image of a businessman and a general coming to Washington as outsiders.
"Trump-Flynn. I've heard him say that, kind of test out the sound of it," one source told WaPo. George Wallace and Ross Perot, two other populist "outsider" candidates, also chose servicemen as their VPs (Curtis LeMay and James Stockdale, respectively). WaPo noted of Flynn, though, that "his views on domestic policy are mostly unknown." After this morning's interview with ABC, they're … pretty well known now:
Issues like abortion and same-sex marriage are not at the top of retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn's list of priorities, the former intelligence official and registered Democrat who is reportedly being vetted as Donald Trump's running mate said Sunday.
"What people do in their private lives, these are not big issues that our country is dealing with that will cause our country to collapse," Flynn told ABC's Martha Raddatz on "This Week." "I'm more concerned that our country could collapse because we are not dealing with education issues, immigration issues."…
On abortion, he said, "I think it's a — I think for women — and these are difficult issues but I think women have to be able to choose what they — you know, sort of the right of choice but I think that that's a difficult legal decision that — and I think that women are so important in that decision-making process."
Political media is wringing its hands on Twitter this afternoon that Flynn's positions on social issues will sink him as a potential VP but I don't see why. With respect to gay marriage, not only has Trump stayed far away from the subject (he initially disagreed with social conservatives about North Carolina's law on transgender bathroom use, a proxy issue for LGBT views generally), the party itself may tweak the language in its platform this year to make it less critical of same-sex unions. On abortion, Trump has alternated from hardline pro-life to effectively pro-choice in the span of four days, telling reporters earlier this year that (a) women who abort once Roe is repealed and the practice is banned should face criminal punishment and (b) the abortion laws we have right now should be left alone. Years ago he famously called himself "very pro-choice"; since his emergence as a Republican political figure, he's described himself as pro-life but still has flattering things to say about Planned Parenthood. He devotes about the same amount of energy trying to convince people that he's staunchly anti-abortion as he does trying to convince them that he's devoutly Christian. Which is to say, not much.
So go figure that he'd be considering Flynn. Evangelicals (at least the ones who don't go to church regularly) supported him overwhelmingly in the primaries against social conservative Ted Cruz despite Trump barely making a pretense of sharing their religious values. If there's any glaring lesson from the nomination battle this year, it's that the GOP base will not use social issues as a litmus test provided you can convince them that you share their cultural values in other ways, like with ostentatiously politically incorrect views about mass deportation of illegals and banning Muslims from entering the country. Flynn's a good match with Trump in that respect: He may be wildly out of sync with the GOP party line on abortion and gay marriage but he claims he was dismissed as head of DIA under Obama for being too politically incorrect about terrorism. If you're looking to ingratiate yourself to Trump's base, there's no more sterling credential than being on Barack Obama's bad side because you're too much of an uncompromising hard-ass on confronting jihadis. And as you'll see, Flynn gave the right answer in this morning's interview on the other key litmus test, immigration, when asked. How do you feel about "undocumented" immigrants, Martha Raddatz asks. "Undocumented or illegal?" Flynn replies. "OK, so if it's illegal, it's illegal. If they're here illegally then it's illegal." He doesn't specifically say "they all need to go" but he's got the logical foundation for Trump's position.
Lest anyone doubt that his social views won't be a problem for Trump's core fans, let me remind you of this comment from Trumpkin Numero Uno last year:
I don't care if @realDonaldTrump wants to perform abortions in White House after this immigration policy paper. http://t.co/l7nq8gN7i5
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 16, 2015
So there you go. As a Twitter pal said last night, if Trump ends up picking Flynn, we'll have four Democrats on the top of the ballot this year — assuming, that is, that delegates allow it. Read this BuzzFeed piece about the fallback plan for anti-Trumpers in Cleveland if, as expected, they fail to dump Trump as nominee. The rules that bind delegates to vote for a presidential candidate according to the results of their state's primary obviously don't apply to VP candidates. Typically the delegates rubber-stamp whichever VP the presidential nominee chooses, but maybe not this year. They have it in their power, with a few tweaks to current rules, to defeat Trump's pick and install their own pick as VP. "It's a counterweight to Trump," a source told BuzzFeed. "It's the grassroots saying if you're going to do this, you're going to do it with our pick." Trump may like the sound of "Trump/Flynn" but he may be stuck with the reality of "Trump/Cruz." Just one question: Who the hell would want to be drafted to be Trump's number two, especially if they've already endured the public humiliation of not being his handpicked choice? Why would Ted Cruz, eyeing a 2020 run, agree to serve on a ticket that seems highly likely to be defeated, maybe in a landslide, and which will taint him by association with whatever weirdness Trump injects into the campaign the rest of the way?
Two clips for you here, one of Flynn's interview this morning (the abortion/SSM bit comes at 5:00) and one of Trump superfans Sean Hannity and Newt Gingrich in 2008 discussing the worrisome possibility that John McCain might put — gasp — a pro-choice Democrat on the ticket in Joe Lieberman. Can't wait for their reaction (especially Newt's!) if Flynn is indeed the pick.

Battle Creek's Ben Yarger lifts car, tosses kegs
Kellogg Community College strength coach is runner-up at Michigan Strongest Man competition
In the parking lot of the Covered Bridge and Leather Gift Shop in Frankenmuth, Battle Creek's Ben Yarger proved to be among the strongest men in Michigan.
At the fourth annual 'Battle of Bavaria' Michigan Strongest Man and Woman competition on Aug. 6, the Kellogg Community College strength coach and proprietor of NorthSide Strength and Conditioning finished runner-up in the Heavyweight Novice division, losing by only 1.5 points.
As part of the competition, the 6-foot-5, 340-pound Yarger dead lifted a 450-pound car and sent kegs weighing as much as 40 pounds soaring high into the air.
"I follow the sport - I don't necessarily train for the sport," Yarger said of the strongman competition. "It was a lot of fun to watch. I enjoyed watching all the other competitors. During the competition, if you're competing, it's pretty brutal on the central nervous system - being in the parking lot, getting beaten down by the sun, especially on that blacktop."
A 1997 Battle Creek Central High School graduate who served in the United States Coast Guard, Yarger said he had competed in smaller strongman competitions before. The 2016 event featured an estimated 60 competitors, including 12 in his weight class.
At the competition, Yarger did a 650-pound yoke walk followed by a 225-pound farmer's walk for 60 feet; a 220-pound pound safe press; 12-foot keg tosses (20-, 25-, 30-, and 40-pounds); the car dead lift and atlas stones (240, 280, 300, 320 and 340 pounds).
Tough sledding: Neighborhood cheers on young athletes
"The reason why I did it and wanted to do it was that in helping out the kids, I thought I'd lead from the front," Yarger said. "It takes a lot of dedication, a lot of self-motivation and a lot of perseverance. You do a lot of training and eating - you gotta eat...It's something I enjoy doing and I like to throw into my training."

Essentially, both recent rulings found that the associations were barred from recouping any of the prior owners' past-due fees from the foreclosing lenders by their very own declarations and covenants for their communities. The associations were done in by nearly identical clauses in their declarations indicating that lenders would not be responsible for the prior owners' assessments even though Florida law has held for more than seven years that associations are entitled to receive a statutorily capped amount.
The first ruling was filed in May in the case of Genesis RE Holdings v. Woodside Estates Homeowners Association by the appellate division of Broward Circuit Court. Genesis appealed the final judgment from the county court that found it liable for the prior owner's delinquent assessments in accordance with the law.
The appellate panel found that Woodside's declaration, which operates as a contract between the association and the unit owners, includes a provision that exempts Genesis from liability for the former owner's assessments.
The opinion acknowledges that this provision, which was recorded as part of the community's declaration in 1987, serves to disadvantage Woodside, but its plain and unambiguous language absolves those who obtain title to a unit via the foreclosure of a first mortgage from liability for the former owner's past-due assessments.
The opinion found that Florida law does not supersede the community's governing documents because the declaration does not contain what has become known as the Kaufman language, providing that statutory changes would be incorporated automatically into the declaration.
Similarly, in the case of Willoughby Estates v. BankUnited, the Palm Beach Circuit appellate division found in favor of the foreclosing lender in its ruling filed in June. It found that the association's declaration contained language that was nearly identical to that of Woodside's absolving foreclosing lenders from liability for prior owners' assessments.
In addition to associations losing out on the ability to collect any of the former owners' past-due assessments from the foreclosing lenders, the appellate rulings granted the motions for attorney fees from the lenders, so there will likely be substantial sums that the associations will be paying to the lenders for their legal counsel.
These cases and several other similar rulings by the Florida courts in the last two years are sending a clear message to the community associations in the state with outdated declarations, which likely were recorded by their original developers in hopes of facilitating mortgage financing to spur sales at the properties.
During the height of the foreclosure crisis, the foreclosing lenders and their attorneys were not bothering to review the declaration documents of the communities, but those days are now over.
The lenders and their attorneys have come to understand that many older communities throughout the state still contain provisions in their declarations to absolve foreclosing lenders from liability, and they have not been updated to remove those stipulations and add the Kaufman language to indicate conformity with all future laws.
Our firm congratulates Michael for sharing his insights into the implications of these new rulings and other similar rulings with the readers of the Daily Business Review. Click here to read the complete article in the newspaper's website (registration required).

Looks like UK bike production is coming to an end.
Surprised there still is any. What brands are still made here?
Theres a company near me that makes bikes and sells them. The name is Langdale Lightweights. If i had the money then i would have one. A few riders around here have them, but i think i was told the cheapest one they do is about £800.
They look good and i think they custom make them and take your measurements down on a bike they have that extends and stuff.
Mickle, whilst bowing to your superior knowledge, were only 3,300 bikes imported in 2005? That's less than 64 a week! I'll bet it'll only take a couple of branches of Halfords to deal with that number!
Oops, just seen that's 1000's - sounds more like it!
It would be interesting to see this years figures, what with the tour de france in the UK..
they would of gone down this year with all the rain. When i was working in the bike shop all the reps where saying sale's where down by 27% overs where saying upto 31%? so its going to be a lot i think.
Couldn't possibly say old chap. I haven't decided when the launch will be, yet.
But they were not based in the 'N' town.
the 'B' town then ? or 'C' later 'W' ?
is as good as a nod.

Responding to crime hurts rule of law
Raul Guttieriez at InterPress Service has a new article titled EL SALVADOR: Hard-Line Policies Vs Rule of Law. In the article, Guttierez looks at changes to criminal law in El Salvador made in response to the country's crime problems, which critics charge have weakened the institution of the courts in the country (an institution which has never had much integrity to start with):
The 1992 peace accord ushered in constitutional amendments that overhauled the justice system, with the aim of rooting out impunity and corruption and establishing the rule of law.
Congress approved the amendments, which included modifications of the penal code and criminal justice procedures "that led to the transformation from an inquisitorial system to an adversarial system," leaving behind the legacy of decades of military dictatorships, said Martínez.
But before the reforms were completely implemented, the government of president Armando Calderón (1994-1999) began to introduce modifications. And his successors (all of whom have belonged to the rightwing Nationalist Republican Alliance or ARENA, which has governed El Salvador since 1989) have followed the same formula. Today, Congress is studying further changes to the penal code.
The governments of Francisco Flores (1999-2004) and current President Antonio Saca both called for laws that would allow the PNC and the public prosecutors' office to clamp down more effectively on the growing wave of crime, arguing that the laws as they stood benefited criminals more than society.
But groups of judges have criticised the changes, saying they affect the judiciary's ability to be independent and impartial. They also argue that the new modifications under study in Congress deprive them of their constitutional authority to judge cases, by handing that power over in practice to the public prosecutors' office.
Judge Sidney Blanco told IPS that legislators have introduced so many changes that "it is hard to identify the original draft law."
The reforms "have been reckless and prompted by brash reactions" to the growing violence and the public pressure resulting from the resultant media coverage, rather than being based on "sociological and criminological studies," he said. (more).

Stoke chief says permanent transfer 'very difficult' to complete.
Stoke City may not be able to land Liverpool winger Oussama Assaidi on a permanent basis this summer, says Potters' chief executive Tony Scholes.
Stoke had the 25-year old on loan from the Reds at the Britannia stadium last season, but the Merseysiders' boss Brendan Rodgers possibly wants a transfer fee that Stoke cannot afford to pay for the Moroccan international.
Assaidi netted five times in 25 games for Stoke last season, and gave Mark Hughes' team more penetration in the final third at some vital moments during the season.
The versatile winger has 13 caps for Morocco.
"We've spoken to Liverpool about Oussama and we've spoken to his agent," Scholes was quoted by FourFourTwo.
Assaidi, although inconsistent, is seen as a bright talent by Liverpool, who probably feel that they can get a better deal for the former Heerenveen man if they put him up for sale in the open transfer market.


There are many reasons a family needs the Discover it® Miles card in their wallet. Points-junkies will appreciate the awarding of 1.5 miles per dollar on all purchases, especially since those miles are matched at the end of the first card member year. This means that 30,000 miles earned in the first year through old-fashioned spending ultimately turn into 60,000 miles once the miles are matched after 12 billing cycles. Earning a total of 3 miles per dollar across all purchases that first year (once the miles are matched after the end of the year) is outstanding, but that's not the only reason the Discover it® Miles card is one to consider.
A study showed that credit cards charge an average of six different types of fees (in addition, of course, to interest if you carry a balance). One of the most common types of fees tacked on by credit cards is a late payment fee, but the Discover it® Miles card does not charge that fee for your first late payment. In fact, there are many different fees this card does not charge, which is great, since getting hit with fees can quickly eat away at the overall value of the rewards you earn.
Discover it® Miles comes with no annual fee — not just the first year, but for as long as you hold the card.
The vast majority of credit cards charge a late payment fee the very first time you are even one day late with your payment. Of course, we advocate that you are never late with a credit card payment, but life happens (especially when traveling), so it is great that the Discover it® Miles card won't tack on an extra fee for that first late payment.
After the first time you're late with a payment, you'll pay up to $37 for each additional late payment — don't make a habit of it.
If you have more expenses pop up than expected, rest assured that Discover won't hit you with an over-the-limit fee for going above and beyond your set credit line.
While more cards than ever can be used without foreign transaction fees, it is not yet a benefit available across all cards. In fact, I just recently made a mistake and used a card from another bank in Vienna that did still charge a foreign transaction fee. Shockingly, the card I used carried a $95 annual fee, reinforcing that no foreign transaction fee charges is still a relevant perk. Combining 1.5 miles per dollar earned across all purchases (matched at the end of the first year) with no foreign transaction fees, makes this a card that is easy to swipe around the globe.
If something happens and you lose your Discover it® Miles card (or it becomes compromised in some way), you don't have to wait five to seven business days to receive a new one in the mail. Discover offers free overnight shipping and card replacement to any US street address that you request, so you stop worrying and quickly get on with life.
In addition to those five fees you won't pay with the Discover it® Miles card, you can also enjoy an intro 0% APR on purchases for the first 14 months (after that a variable APR of 14.24% to 25.24% applies). With easy-to-use miles, all miles earned in the first card member year matched after the end of the year and a minimal number of extra fees, the Discover it® Miles card is a good match for busy, traveling families.
Set your own sign-up bonus with the Discover It Miles card. Any rewards you earn in the first year will automatically be matched at the end of the year and you'll earn an unlimited 1.5 miles on all purchases with no annual fee.

The Prospect of Aluminum Foil
The popularity of aluminum foil, especially for flexible packaging, will continue to grow. Four-sided, fin-sealed pouches have gained wide popularity for military, medical, and retail food applications and, in larger sizes, for institutional food service packs. Pouches have also been introduced for packaging 1.06 to 4.75 gallons (4-18 liters) of wine for both retail and restaurant markets, and for other food service markets. In addition, other products continue to be developed for other applications. The increase in popularity of microwave ovens has resulted in the development of several forms of aluminum-based semi-rigid containers designed specifically for these ovens. More recently, special cooking foils for barbecuing have been developed.
In addition, aluminum foil is being scrutinized in regard to its environmental "friendliness." Hence, manufacturers are increasing their efforts in the recycling area. In fact, all U.S. foil producers have begun recycling programs even though aluminum foil's total tonnage and capture rate is much lower than that of the easy-to-recycle aluminum cans. Aluminum foil already has the advantage of being light and small, which helps reduce its contribution to the solid waste stream.
Well, for packaging waste, the most promising solution may be source reduction. For instance, packaging 65 pounds (29.51 kilograms) of coffee in steel cans requires 20 pounds (9.08 kilograms) of steel but only three pounds (4.08 kilograms) of laminated packaging including aluminum foil. Such packaging also takes up less space in the landfill. The Aluminum Association's Foil Division is even developing an educational program on aluminum foil for universities and professional packaging designers in order to help inform such designers of the benefits of switching to flexible packaging.
Aluminum foil also uses less energy during both manufacturing and distribution, with in-plant scrap being recycled. As a matter of fact, recycled aluminum, including cans and foil, accounts for over 30 percent of the industry's yearly supply of metal. This number has been increasing for several years and is expected to continue. What is more, processes used during foil manufacturing are being improved to reduce air pollution and hazardous waste.

Locating Property Lines before you build your fence - Wood Fence Materials and More at Fence Supply Inc.
The best way to begin the process of locating and marking your property lines is to identify the corners of your property. The property corners are typically marked with metal identifiers by a surveyor team upon the purchase of a house or property.
If possible, contact your surveyor or your county records department to get a property plat map with the approximation of your property boundaries.
Start near where you think the corner is, according to your property map, and search for your property's corner markers. If a marker has been driven below the surface, sometimes probing with a shovel will help to find it. If the marker is too deep, a metal detector should solve the problem. If the marker is invisible to the naked eye, use a temporary stake to mark the corners.
Once you have located and marked all the corners of your property, tie a string to your original stake and run the string to each corner marker, trailing the string behind you as you walk until you have the border of your property outlined by string.
You should now have a properly marked property line, and are ready to begin construction on your new fence.

Clemson's Trevor Lawrence goes quietly in first college loss

NEW ORLEANS — There was time on the clock, but not enough to matter. The ending was in stone.
Dabo Swinney grabbed Trevor Lawrence's head, comforting his golden-armed, golden-haired quarterback with words of encouragement the coach hadn't prepared to say.
Lawrence didn't utter a word. He wasn't familiar with what he was feeling. He would leave a football field in defeat for the first time in more than two years, for the first time in 26 games as Clemson's starting quarterback.
"I told him I love him, and that, hey, this is a great opportunity to lead and respond," Swinney said following the 42-25 national title loss to LSU. "He's had so much good. We all have. We've had so much unbelievable success, so many great things, and he's never lost a game. And he's not going to lose many. I'll go ahead and tell you that right now.
"He's going to be a hard guy to beat forever because he's special. He had a tough night. For whatever reason, just didn't have his best night."
One year after Lawrence became the first true freshman starting quarterback to lead his team to a national title since 1985 — torching Nick Saban and Alabama for 347 yards and three touchdowns — the presumptive top pick in the 2021 NFL Draft was severely outplayed by Heisman winner Joe Burrow, who threw for 463 yards and five touchdowns, while Lawrence completed 18 of 37 passes for 234 yards with no passing touchdowns and a fumble.
"It sucks," Lawrence said. "A moment like this happens and, man, it sucks."
Lawrence's first loss since a Nov. 17, 2017 high school playoff game included 13 overthrows — his previous career-high was five — which tied for the most by any quarterback in a game this season.
Joe Burrow's refusal to crumble made him LSU immortal
NEW ORLEANS — Years from now, the details will be...
"I wasn't accurate," Lawrence said following Clemson's first loss in 30 games. "Didn't put the ball where it needed to be, didn't give my guys a chance enough, and it comes down to that really. LSU did a good job, but I just didn't play well enough for us to win. Too many missed plays by me, missed a lot of receivers. It just wasn't my night."
Early, Lawrence's experience seemed crucial. The sophomore had the game's first score on a 1-yard touchdown, and put LSU in its biggest hole of the season, 17-7, in the second quarter.
Over the final 43 minutes, Clemson would score just one more time. Lawrence lost the ball on his final touch. Swinney approached him on the sideline.
"I wouldn't trade that guy for nobody," Swinney said. "I know exactly how he'll respond. It's easy when everything is good. So I just told him I'm proud of him and appreciated his fight, his grit, his will, and hey, that's ball. Listen, he was giving everything he had."
Lawrence will be a Heisman favorite next fall, leading the likely top-ranked team entering next season. He will have a chance at a second ring, a chance to achieve as much as any player ever.
"We're going to be fine," Lawrence said. "We'll be back. We've done some great things and we got a lot more in store ahead for sure."
There probably is. But perfection has passed.
