Hyde: Dolphins coach Brian Flores' different worlds and story of hope | Commentary
By Dave Hyde
South Florida Sun Sentinel |
Even now, when asked, Brian Flores can step outside his family's apartment on the 20th floor of his low-income housing building, Glenmore Plaza, and take you on his daily walk to high school.
He can say the elevator might or might not work. So get ready to walk down 20 floors.
He can say, a block down Mother Gaston Boulevard, is Public School 332, where he attended kindergarten to eighth grade, often without books or simple supplies like paper or pencils. It's since been renamed P.S. 401, he knows from trips back. But it still represents one of the two extremes he lived inside American schools. One side still lacks so much — Flores tells how his younger brother, Luis, who now teaches in at a low-income school in Boston, loaded his car with used books from an old school and brought them back for his current students.
Flores can keep walking you past the so-called White Park, where basketball and "transactions," as he calls the sketchy sale of drugs and danger, played, and then walk down the blocks of broken-down homes to go under the Long Island Railway tracks.
Here is where anything can happen, he says. Drugs, guns, knives, beatings — the New York crime log is full from this area. Flores' mother always worried her son would become another statistic here.
Nothing ever happened to him, Flores knows, because he was protected by a code on the streets to leave anyone alone who had a chance for success. He also believes these streets hold the most loyal people to their code that he's ever met.
Finally, after 15 minutes of walking through this raw and real Brownsville neighborhood of Brooklyn, N.Y., he can bring you to the Broadway Junction subway stop.
Each day in high school, Flores boarded here, transferred to a bus, and 90 minutes after leaving home, he walked onto the plush, 27-acre campus of Poly Prep Country Day School for a high school education that currently costs $50,199 a year.
"Two different worlds in many ways,'' Flores called these years.
But if you care to understand the new Miami Dolphins coach, if you care to know who he is or what he's about, this is a good place to start. This walk. This trip. This daily journey, stitched together by real-life fabric, not NFL fame, that forms much of the world and the people he still carries inside today.

The billionaire investor who Flores says changed, "just about everything,'' for him and his family is on the phone.
[Most Read Dolphins Coverage] Omar Kelly: How did GM Chris Grier survive Dolphins' latest purge? »
"Brian Flores, who's that?'' the billionaire says.
He has offices in Chicago and New York. He's given $75 million to Notre Dame, the school's largest single gift. He sits on 20 corporate boards. His investment strategy is likened in one business story to Warren Buffett's, and he's called in another story, "an inventor of investments."
He starts chuckling.
"I'm kidding,'' the billionaire, Jay Jordan, says. "Brian is like a second son to me. I have my son, JW, who played with Brian at Poly Prep. And Brian, well, I know him as well as anyone outside his family, and I can't say enough good things about him."
They first met when Flores was awarded a Jordan Scholarship as a freshman to attend Poly Prep. Flores had everything a Jordan Scholar should have: good grades, respectful behavior, athletic skill and a burning desire to succeed in such a way that, over years in his youth, his name filtered through a small community, one person reaching out to another, until it finally reached Jordan.
It began when Flores was driving with an uncle, Darrell Patterson, who regularly took him bowling or to the arcades. Flores' father, Raul, was a merchant marine and away on ships for months at a time. His mother, Maria, who died of cancer earlier this year, emigrated with her husband from Honduras to New York but didn't know sports.
Patterson, a New York firefighter, enjoyed sports. One day, they saw a youth football practice. Brian asked if he could play. That led to Patterson driving his nephew from Brooklyn to Queens a few times a week to practice with Frank Masella's Lynvet youth program.
When Flores neared eighth grade, Masella called Dino Mangiero, a coach at Poly Prep and a gatekeeper of the Jordan Scholarships.
"[Masella] said he had a special kid who needed help,'' Mangiero said. "I went and met him. What I remember is a talented kid who wanted to change his circumstances."
This was the first door of many doors football opened. It's how Flores earned a scholarship and starred on a Poly Prep team that didn't lose in his four years. It's how he found a small group of lifelong friends from humble roots, Jordan Scholars all.
It's also how as a senior he met a young and energetic Boston College recruiter named Al Golden. Twelve years before he became the University of Miami coach, Golden didn't just have a good academic school — Flores was considering Duke and Virginia, too — but one relatively close to Brownsville.
That was important. Flores' youngest brother, Christopher, is autistic. He wanted to be close enough to help, if needed. Later, as a New England Patriots assistant, Flores moved his parents and Christopher to outside Boston. He became active with special-needs children and their families, helping in various ways and delivering talks that Patriots players attended.

Along the full journey, the stories piled up offer glimpses into his future. In high school, his team trailed by three touchdowns when, on a third-and-1, the running back Flores told his coaches, "Give me the ball. I'll get it." He ran 51 yards for a touchdown to spark a comeback.
At Boston College, his linebacker coach noticed something about the film clips he took to coaching clinics to underline the proper way to do things. Virtually all of them involved Flores.
With the Patriots, no job was too big from the start for him - or, too small. That mattered. This is a franchise, then-Patriots general manager Scott Pioli said, where coach Bill Belichick will run a copying machine to make copies for everyone if needed. Flores made airport runs, ran coaches' errands and updated the daily personnel charts for each team on a big board.
"You saw the intelligence in Brian, the determination right away,'' said Pioli, who was on the NFL's diversity council and always had his radar up for a good, young mind.
Flores wanted closer to the game after years in scouting. He moved to coaching. But even as his star rose, as success came, as the Patriots piled up wins, Flores kept the past close to him.
"I got a call one day and my mother was crying,'' said Mike Miller, a high-school teammate and another Jordan Scholar at Poly Prep. "I thought something was wrong. She couldn't get the words out. 'Mom, what's wrong?'

"It was Brian. He was there with a Super Bowl trophy. This was after his first one, I think when New England beat Seattle. He showed up at my parent's home and just wanted to share it with them. To thank them."
Soon, all his friends got calls from their parents. Miller. Will Karczewski. Dave Hayes. The X-Factor, the group was called at Poly Prep, because their group's humble roots and obvious talents.
They kept close through the years, too. They'd attend Patriots games right from the start of Flores' career there, when he chauffeured coaches and slept on an air mattress on the floor of an attic. "Are you OK?" Karczewski asked while visiting him then.
Flores would rush out to their pre-game tailgate to bring a few bags of pretzels. Through the years, as Flores rose, their tickets began to improve, they joked. But this post-Super Bowl visit to family was a surprise.
"I even got a call [from] my grandfather,'' Hayes said. "He was crying. I drove over there to see what happened, and he said Brian came by just to thank him. How many people have high school friends like that?"
The different and often opposing worlds, you see, became one and the same for Flores. JW Jordan, the son of the billionaire, played against Flores at Notre Dame, then started on the same low NFL rung that he did. They met on the field of the last Super Bowl, Flores running the Patriots defense and JW Jordan the Los Angeles Rams' director of draft management.

The father was in the stands that day, admiring it all. He kept in touch with Flores every step of the way, just as he tries with many of the 120 Jordan Scholars (119 have graduated from college — "and we're getting the other one, too,'' he says).
Jay Jordan advised Flores on getting into football and not business ("Why would you want to sit in an office all day?"). He counseled Flores as he earned bigger jobs ("Just keep being yourself — that's enough, you're special."). He hosted Flores at his country home in Amagansett, N.Y.
When Jordan heard the Dolphins were interested in Flores, he picked up the phone and called his friend: team owner Steve Ross. They talked for an hour.
"Not about football,'' Jordan said. "We talked about Brian's character, his intelligence, about who Brian was and what made him stand out."
At one point, Ross said one problem was he'd never met Flores.

"I reminded Steve we were down on the field before the game, and one of the New England coaches came charging over to us,'' Jordan said. "Steve thought he was going to tackle us. He grabbed me and kissed my cheek.
"I told Steve, 'I introduced you to him. That was Brian Flores.' "
In such ways, Flores' long journey seems shorter, his complicated story sounds simpler. It's about to grow simpler still. Plays. Points. Wins. Losses. It's a bottom-line business.
He's just another new NFL coach waiting for the opening kickoff to decide if he's a winner or loser. But, as the first kickoff awaits, considering where he started and now stands, ask yourself this: Hasn't he already won?

There's an Irish pineapple circuit, if you will, for Irish pub bands that want to play the Hawaiian Islands. On the surface that may seem far-fetched, but when the Vancouver, British Columbia, band The Whiskeydicks came to tour Hawaii this year, they successfully lined-up five club shows on Oahu, two on Maui, and a private home gig on the Big Island.
There's a demand for authentic Irish music on the Big Island. In recent weeks, bands like The Alt, Switchback, and hard rockers Celtica, have had great turn-outs at large Hawaii Island venues like the Kahilu Theatre and the Honokaa People's Theatre. Unfortunately for the Big Island there aren't any Irish-themed pubs like Oahu's Kelly O'Neil's or O'Toole's. But thanks to several dedicated music fans from the Hawai'i Irish Dance troupe, they've come up with a solution. When a group like the Whiskeydicks is headed for Hawaii, they'll offer them the opportunity to include the Big Island as a stop in their tour schedule.
Lynn Scully, who was named "Irish Person of the Year" at this year's Emerald Ball in Honolulu, invited the Whiskeydicks to play a show at Scully's Pub last Saturday night. The well-stocked pub is in a private home on Waiki'i Ranch, nestled on the western slopes of Mauna Kea. There's gentle pastures and groves of eucalyptus and Monterey Cypress trees surrounding the area. Some say it reminds them of Ireland. Every Thursday night Scully's hosts a music session for those who feel connected to the Celtic culture.
For a donation to cover the band's inter-island airfare and expenses, about 50 Irish music fans were treated to a multi-course dinner, and an evening of great music and dance. The Whiskeydicks call themselves "Celtic Gypsy party rockers who have spent the better part of a decade carving a reputation for themselves as 'One Hell of a Good Time.'" Curtis Ernst, who plays the cello like a hair-flipping madman, told me before their show that the band has been together since 2004, and have played Australia, Alaska, and numerous clubs in British Columbia. This was the second time they've played Scully's on the Big Island.
The evening began with piper Mark Knox who got the crowd on their feet and clapping along. As the last notes of Knox's bagpipes faded, fiddle player Pat Ernst started an infectious instrumental which was augmented by Sam Cartwright's pounding bass drum. Ernst (cello) and Mike Bell (guitar) joined in, and the make shift dance floor quickly filled with both children and adults doing various forms of Irish dance.
A real crowd-pleaser was a cover of The Proclaimers big 1988 hit, ""I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)." About halfway through the tune, the band broke off into "My Favorite Things," and "Do Re Mi" from the Sound of Music, which led to TV theme songs from "Bonanza" "The Jetsons," and "Green Acres." The Whiskeydicks played a total of three 45-minute sets before the night was over.
On Sunday, the band bounced over to Maui for a show at Mulligan's, followed by a Monday gig at Diamonds. The group heads back to BC for a series of dates that has them booked through the end of July.
The Whiskeydicks have a self-titled CD that was released in 2015, and you can pick it up on iTunes. On their website (http://www.thewhiskeydicks.ca/store/) they offer typical t-shirt/hat merch with the band's logo and black and pink thong women's underwear. One features a drawing of an unlocked chastity belt.

Scientists demand end to crop-based biofuels
By Samuel White | EURACTIV.com
According to the EU's own data, the climate impact of biodiesel is on average 80% worse than fossil diesel. [think4photop/Shutterstock]
A group of 177 Dutch scientists have signed a letter urging the Netherlands to back a complete phase-out of crop-based biofuels at European level, calling them a "false solution to climate problems".
The scientists pointed to a study commissioned by the EU executive, which found that crop-based biodiesel has on average 1.8 times the climate impact of fossil diesel, "and this number increases to three times more in case of biodiesel from palm oil".
Biodiesel accounts for 80% of all biofuels used in the European Union, and around a third of this comes from palm oil, making drivers of cars and trucks the biggest consumers of palm oil in the bloc. The remaining 20% is bioethanol, which is mainly made from home-grown crops such as sugar beet and wheat.
Commission's biofuels proposal may kill future investment, industry warns
The biofuels industry has hit out at the European Commission's proposal to reduce the cap on crop-based biofuels in the EU's transport fuel mix, saying it would undermine the EU executive's renewable energy policy and slash investment in advanced biofuels.
Broader consequences
Beyond the impact of EU biofuels policy on climate change, the scientists also criticised it for driving habitat and biodiversity loss, reducing areas' resilience to local climatic conditions, undermining food security and increasing prices, and concentrating land in the hands of multinational companies at the expense of small-scale farmers.
"In short, a mixture of fuel crop oil relies on the unfounded assumption that this leads to more sustainable fuel use, but in reality causes ecological and social degradation," the scientists wrote. "The policy serves as a veil that obscures the risks involved in fossil fuels while offering no more than a false solution for our energy requirements."
The 177 signatories called on the Dutch government to acknowledge the damage caused by EU biofuels policy and to write a commitment to abandon them into the bloc's 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.
The EU encouraged the blending of fossil and biofuels in the 2009 Renewable Energy Directive, in a bid to cut greenhouse gas emissions from the transport sector, and the current limit of crop-based biofuels in the transport energy mix stands at 7%. But studies of the impacts of land-use change associated with biofuels, and particularly biodiesel, have found in many cases that they are worse overall for the climate than fossil fuels.
MEPs raise ambition on transport with 'sustainable' biofuels
Contrary to the European Commission's initial proposal, the European Parliament voted on Tuesday (28 November) to increase targets for sustainable energy and reintroduce a sub-target for transport, by using "sustainable" biofuels.
Under its proposal for a recast of the directive for 2021-2030, the EU executive put forward a reduced cap on biofuels in the transport sector of 3.8%. The proposal is currently working its way through the European Parliament before three-way negotiations are held among the European Commission, Parliament and Council.
For the Dutch scientists, this position is not strong enough. In their letter, they demanded that Amsterdam "plead that biofuels from food crops have no place in the European 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development".
EU governments will discuss the future of biofuels at the Energy Council meeting on 18 December.
More than half of EU biodiesel made from imported crops, study finds
Some 53% of EU biodiesel is made with imported feedstock, according to a recent analysis of European Commission data by NGO Transport and Environment, and almost half of imported palm oil is burned in car engines.

Q: Why I can't access to this correctly initialized class property from the inside of this event handler function? I am finding the following problem with Angular\TypeScript.
I have this class that handle the behavior of my component:
import { Component, OnInit, ElementRef, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { EventService } from '../event.service';
import interactionPlugin, { Draggable } from '@fullcalendar/interaction';

interface WorkShiftTypes {
  name: string;
  value: string;
}

@Component({
  selector: 'app-people-list',
  templateUrl: './people-list.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./people-list.component.css']
})
export class PeopleListComponent implements OnInit {

  people: any[];

  //cities: City[];

  workShiftTypes: WorkShiftTypes[];
  selectedShift: WorkShiftTypes;

  @ViewChild('draggable_people') draggablePeopleExternalElement: ElementRef;

  constructor(private eventService: EventService) { }

  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.eventService.getPeople().then(people => {this.people = people;});

    this.selectedShift = {name: 'Mattina', value: 'Mattina'};

    this.workShiftTypes = [
      {name: 'Mattina', value: 'Mattina'},
      {name: 'Pomeriggio', value: 'Pomeriggio'},
      {name: 'Notte', value: 'Notte'},
      {name: 'Custom', value: 'Custom'}
    ];
  }

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    console.log("PEOPLE LIST ngAfterViewInit() START !!!")

    new Draggable(this.draggablePeopleExternalElement.nativeElement, {
      itemSelector: '.fc-event',
      eventData: function(eventEl) {
        console.log("DRAG !!!");
        console.log("SELECTED SHIFT: " + this.selectedShift.value);
        return {
          title: eventEl.innerText,
          selectedShift: this.selectedShift.value
        };
      }
    });

  }
}

As you can see in the previous code I have this property:
selectedShift: WorkShiftTypes;

that always contains a value (because I am setting it a default value into the ngOnInit() hook method and because it is bound to a PrimeNG component into my view.
Then I have this ngAfterViewInit() method hook:
ngAfterViewInit() {
console.log("PEOPLE LIST ngAfterViewInit() START !!!")
new Draggable(this.draggablePeopleExternalElement.nativeElement, {
  itemSelector: '.fc-event',
  eventData: function(eventEl) {
    console.log("DRAG !!!");
    console.log("SELECTED SHIFT: " + this.selectedShift.value);
    return {
      title: eventEl.innerText,
      selectedShift: this.selectedShift.value
    };
  }
});

Here I am creating a Draggable object in which is defined a callback function for the drag event (I am drag an item from a list and dropped this item into a calendar).
This function first try to print into the console log the value of the previous this.selectedShift class property and them I am trying to use this value to add a field to the returned object, by:
selectedShift: this.selectedShift.value

And on these two operation I have a problem. The code compile without error but trying to perform my application, when I try to drag an item from my list and drop it into my Calendar I obtain the following error message:
core.js:6272 ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'value' of undefined

It seems to me that form the inside of the **eventData: function(eventEl) { ...} event handler function it can't access to my this.selectedShift class property (is it because in this specific case the this refers to the Draggable object?). I am pretty sure of this because mooving this line:
console.log("SELECTED SHIFT: " + this.selectedShift.value);

outside of this function (for example as first line of the **ngAfterViewInit() hook function) I retrieve the correct default value set by the ngOnInit() function. So this value is correctly initialized.
Why I can't access to this property from the inside of this function? How can I access to it and fix my error?

A: Its because of the scope of the eventData handler.
You are not using an arrow function, so the context of this is binded to the caller.
You might want to use an arrow-function instead (context of arrow-functions are binded to its declartion):
eventData: (eventEl) => {
    console.log("DRAG !!!");
    console.log("SELECTED SHIFT: " + this.selectedShift.value);
    return {
      title: eventEl.innerText,
      selectedShift: this.selectedShift.value
    };
  }

Another way would be to use the bind function:
const handler = function(eventEl) {
        console.log("DRAG !!!");
        console.log("SELECTED SHIFT: " + this.selectedShift.value);
        return {
          title: eventEl.innerText,
          selectedShift: this.selectedShift.value
        };
      }

new Draggable(this.draggablePeopleExternalElement.nativeElement, {
  itemSelector: '.fc-event',
  eventData: handler.bind(this)
});

Missoula to explore non-purchase options to keep affordable apartments in use
By Martin KidstonMay 27, 2021
May 27, 2021 By Missoula Current
With the required period of affordability sunsetting on a Missoula apartment complex, the city and county plan to explore options that don't require an outright purchase of the property, but one that will keep it under its current ownership and use.
Paying Western Montana Mental Health's $2.19 million asking price for the Bridge Apartments on West Broadway is considered a last resort, county officials said Thursday.
It's also an option they're reluctant to explore since public funding was given to Western Montana Mental Health in the 1990s to build the property in the first place.
"Maybe there's something we can do to support Western to keep them owning it and managing it," said Commissioner Josh Slotnick. "This isn't just another old apartment building. This property, with these specific tenants, needs to be managed in a very appropriate way."
Western Montana Mental Health received public funding to build the Bridge Apartments in exchange for keeping the units affordable for a period of time.
The required period of affordability has expired, however, and Western Montana Mental Health has placed the property for sale. That has raised concerns about losing 20 units of affordable housing at a critical point in time, and what will happen to the tenants who live there.
"It provides affordable rents for folks with either physical or mental limited capacity to stay in their homes," county CAO Chris Lounsbury said. "The hope here is that the city and county can partner together with other partners to put together funding that would allow that property to stay with its original purpose."
While Missoula County's poverty level has shown a steady decline since 2016, it's still estimated at around 11% of the local population, according to figures released this week by the Missoula Organization of Realtors.
At the same time, housing prices across the region have surged, hitting $425,000 in the First Quarter of 2021. The vacancy rate in the rental market lingers at around 1%, and average rents are on the rise.
Break it down and now is not the time to displace 20 low-income tenants who have stable and existing housing, the county said.
"The ask to Western Montana Mental Heath to consider not divesting themselves of this property at this time, maybe that ship has sailed," said Commissioner Dave Strohmaier. "But emerging from a pandemic and the other housing and homeless issues we're wrestling with, it's not a great time for a radical move like this."
City housing officials couldn't immediately be reached for comment on Thursday.

Top game against Leverkusen – Flick: Replacement of Sané tactically responsible
Leverkusen (AP) – Bayern coach Hansi Flick tactically justified the replacement of national player Leroy Sané in the top game at Bayer Leverkusen. "Why the maximum penalty?" Asked Flick after the 2-1 Saturday night.
"When we put in a replacement, we have to do it wisely." Sané was initially on the bench, came in for the injured Kingsley Coman in the 32nd minute and was replaced by Flick in the 68th minute for 17-year-old Jamal Musiala. The national player crawled into the stands with his head bowed, visibly frustrated.
"There are very few I can replace when I bring Jamal Musiala," said Flick. Thomas Müller, Serge Gnabry and Sané. Müller was indispensable, Gnabry improved enormously in the second half. "So there was the Leroy option, which I had to take," said Flick. "He will be able to handle that, the person has to distance himself a bit. He gets all our support. Today we had to react like that because there was no other option."
Müller praised the 24-year-old in an interview with Sky. "I have a very good understanding of the game with him and I think it won't be long before we talk about Leroy Sané in a very different way," he said. "It's a difficult number to be replaced now, but he will take it and we are behind him as a team." Sané is very close to "this knot opening," said Muller. "I'm not worried about that at all."
Before moving to Munich in the summer, Sané had to recover from a cruciate ligament rupture well into the year, and a capsule injury in his right knee has thrown him back this season. "I think he will show his qualities in the new year," said world footballer Robert Lewandowski, who scored both Bayern goals on Saturday. "He knows he can take advantage of the short break. I'll keep my fingers crossed for him, he's a great boy and a great player."

Louis channeling Hitler while singing "Banana Boat Song."
11/6/18: Political pal of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Keith Ellison and presumably any Democratic Party dignitary wanting to be associated with Black racists, Mr. F. does Tehran and lets loose with a tirade that would consign any White, any Conservative to the permanent outskirts of civilized society. Leading chants of "Death To Israel!" and "Death To America" are among LF's memorable, catchy rhetorical nuggets from his Iranian road show. And only recently, Louie has shown a flair for poetic metaphor and rhyme, stating in Chicago that he's "not anti-Semite, I'm anti-Termite!" The mad rush to be photographed and seen on a dais with this Eminence is perfectly understandable for a political Party that has made "Hate America!" "Hate Israel!" "Hate Trump!" its fundamental platform.
UPDATE 8/1/18: Whoops! Never mind. Apparently, Netflix is feeling some heat from some Deplorables who don't take a fancy to Black Nazis. Perhaps Netflix might think twice about the proposed "Stories" Michelle & Barack plan to "produce."
UPDATE 7/30/18: Now the subject of what is undoubtedly a flattering documentary produced by his son. What is it again, that business of "putting lipstick on a pig?" No matter. With the Left's natural affinity for anything Homicidally Muslim these days, the off-key praises will continue to be sung out from the usual ignorant, dark corners of Hollywood and similar forsaken places populated by Progressive multi-millionaires. See the "Let's Change The World" celebration two Updates below.
UPDATE 5/28/18: As with Little Nork Rocket Man, it's hard to imagine that Donald Trump has suddenly brought around…Louis Farrakhan? Sensible forces counsel a sober, cynical "Wait And See." In Louis' case and on the heels of Black rappers encouraging their fans to "leave the plantation," this change of heart portends bad news for Dems taking Black votes for granted since LBJ's gleeful Great Society prediction 5o years back.
UPDATE 3/15/18: We'll call it the Normalization of a Nazi. Apparently, proud Jew-hater Louis F. is no longer untouchable, even to sensitive artists like Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Stephanie Mills, Chaka Khan. "The "Let's Change the World" collection, which also includes a commemorative book and a behind-the-scenes DVD, is available for sale for $260…According to The Final Call, the Nation of Islam's newspaper, the album features 45 songs in a variety of genres, including classical, gospel, jazz, folk, opera, rap, reggae and calypso." Yes, the world has changed and is now upside down.
UPDATE 3/7/18: Apparently if you're a raging anti-Semite and Louis Farrakhan, it's no big deal to the Left. Let me see, ask the (many Jewish Liberal) pussy hat ladies, which do I hate more: an insane anti-Semite…or America and Israel? Having sworn their ultimate fealty to their Marxist masters, the Naaaasty Women opt for "America and Israel"…and give the Hitler wannabe a pass. Is it any wonder such people are led easily, willingly into gas chambers?
In some circles, one can even consort with today's best Hitler impersonator and still get elected POTUS. What a country…in some circles.
Former calypso dancer, talented violinist and for decades America's most eminent Black racist, fanatic proponent of racial separation and Black Islamic superiority, world class anti-Semite, Obama crony and serial incendiary.
Not the ideal sort of leader young Black Americans need to gain traction in moving up the educational and economic ladder. A young Black man, given the choice to riot or to go out and seize whatever beneficial opportunities might be available to him, would be encouraged to riot and destroy by Farrakhan. Then, in the ruins, the young Black man would be recruited, put into a clean, pressed suit accessorized with the trademark Nation Of Islam bowtie and go out and spread Farrakhan's poison. If anything positive can be said about him, it's that he showed musical talent as a young man. But peddling permanent hatred and social discord has proven more profitable and suited to the temperament of this sociopath, Black America's Hate Spewer Laureate.
Anti-Semite extraordinaire Farrakhan embraces (the very Jewish) Felix Mendelssohn. More proof that admirable, sensitive artistic talent is not to be confused with the character of the person possessing it.

By Jenita Iyalu Magpie season is with us and it appears this year it's cyclists who are feeling the brunt of these infamous birds' territorial swoop. Rowan Brown, a seasoned WA cycling enthusiast, is no stranger to this bird's swooping instinct having experienced multiple attacks each nesting season. "You're just riding along and next thing you know, you get the fright of your life as it clips your helmet," says Mr Brown. "Then you're trying to shoo it with one hand and steer with the other. Quite scary." According to The Department of Parks and Wildlife (DPAW), August through October is nesting time for these birds whose swooping instinct is triggered by a need to protect their young ones. Australian website, Magpie Alert found that 65.8% of the site's registered attacks were experienced by cyclists. The website suggests demonising these birds can at times be a knee-jerk reaction to reports of injuries and local terrorising, although some say that these birds aren't as vicious as they seem. June Butcher, former Australian of the Year, CEO and Founder of Kanyana Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre defends the black and white bombers. "They are a very intelligent bird and have complex family rules," says Mrs Butcher. "When they swoop, they're threatened, they're frightened." Mrs Butcher says areas notorious for attacks can be attributed to these birds' amazing memories, remembering attacks for up to five years. "If they attack a person on a bike then that bird will have that association in its mind – that a bike is a threat, " says Mrs Butcher. With a month to go for nesting season, DPAW advises cyclists to dismount and walk out of the birds' territory when being swooped or alternatively to attach cable ties to your helmet to deter attacks.

What is Cirrhosis?
Cirrhosis is a disease which involves irreversible scarring of the liver.
Alcohol, viral Hepatitis B and C are common causes of cirrhosis, although there are many other causes.
Cirrhosis can cause yellowing of the skin (jaundice), itching, and fatigue.
Diagnosis of cirrhosis can be suggested by physical examination and blood tests, and can be confirmed by liver biopsy in some patients.
Complications of cirrhosis include mental confusion, coma, fluid accumulation (ascites), internal bleeding, and kidney failure.
Treatment of cirrhosis is designed to limit any further damage to the liver as well as complications.
Liver tansplantation is becoming an important option for patients with advanced cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis refers to a disease of the liver in which normal cells are replaced by scar tissue. This condition results in the failure of the liver to perform many of its usual functions. The liver has many functions which include the production of proteins and enzymes. It also is involved in the regulation of cholesterol and storage of energy. The loss of normal liver function in cirrhosis leads to abnormalities in the liver's ability to handle drugs and toxins. The loss of normal liver structure in cirrhosis also interferes with the normal flow of blood through the liver. Complications resulting from cirrhosis can be serious. These include internal bleeding, kidney failure, mental confusion, coma, body fluid accumulation, and frequent infections.
What are the major causes of cirrhosis?
There are many causes of cirrhosis. Alcohol is a very common cause, particularly in the Western world. The development of cirrhosis in alcohol consumers depends upon the amount and regularity of intake. Those individuals who drink at least eight to sixteen ounces of hard liquor or the equivalent daily for fifteen or more years will develop cirrhosis thirty percent of the time.
Viral liver disease is also a common cause of cirrhosis, although most patients with viral hepatitis will not develop cirrhosis. Hepatitis B and C are the most common viral liver diseases associated with cirrhosis. On the other hand, Hepatitis A has never been reported to cause chronic liver disease or cirrhosis.
Many inherited disorders result in the accumulation of toxic substances in the liver which lead to tissue damage and cirrhosis. Examples include the abnormal accumulation of iron (hemochromatosis) or copper (Wilson's disease). In hemochromatosis, patients inherit a tendency to absorb an excessive amount of iron from food. Over time, iron accumulation in different organs causes cirrhosis, arthritis, heart muscle damage leading to heart failure, and testicular dysfunction causing loss of sex drive. Treatment involves prevention of organ damage by removing iron from the body through bloodletting. Interestingly, menstruation protects women from organ damage until after menopause. In Wilson' disease, the inherited abnormality is in the protein that handles copper. Over time, copper accumulates in the liver, eyes, and brain. Cirrhosis, tremor, psychiatric disturbances and other neurological difficulties occur if the condition is not treated early. Treatment involves oral medication to increase copper excretion in the urine.
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a liver disease caused by an abnormality of the immune system found predominantly in women. Normally, bile produced by the liver is delivered through the bile ducts to the intestines to digest fat. In PBC, the small bile ducts within the liver become inflamed and obliterated. Backup of bile contents causes intense skin itching and subsequent yellowing of the skin (jaundice). Lack of bile also decreases absorption of calcium and vitamin D, leading to an eventual thinning of the bones. Over time,cirrhosis develops and liver transplantation is considered.
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare condition found in association with ulcerative colitis (see ulcerative colitis). In PSC, the large bile ducts outside the liver become inflamed and obstructed. Obstruction of bile leads to frequent infections and jaundice and eventually causes cirrhosis and the need for liver transplantation. In some patients, injury (usually result of surgery) to the bile ducts can cause obstruction and cirrhosis of the liver.
Autoimmune hepatitis is found more commonly in women. For unknown reasons, the body unleashes its immune system against its own liver. Treatment involves medications such as corticosteroids to suppress the immune system.
Babies can be born without bile ducts (biliary atresia), leading to cirrhosis. Others are born without certain vital enzymes, leading to the accumulation of sugars which may also cause cirrhosis of the liver. On rare occasions, the absence of certain specific enzymes can lead to liver as well as lung injury, as in alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency.
Less common causes of cirrhosis include unusual reactions to certain drugs, prolonged exposure to toxins, as well as chronic heart failure (cardiac cirrhosis). In certain parts of the world (particularly Northern Africa), infection of the liver with a parasite (schistosomiasis), which causes cirrhosis, is the most common cause of all liver disease.
What are the symptoms of cirrhosis?
Most patients with cirrhosis have few symptoms. Cirrhosis may be suggested by yellowing of the skin (jaundice). Non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, weakness and loss of appetite may occur. Itching results from the back up of bile into the blood and skin. Easy bruising can result from a decreased production of clotting proteins by the diseased liver.
Fluid can accumulate in the abdominal cavity (ascites) and legs (edema) as a result of the obstruction of blood flow through the liver. This is further complicated by decreased protein production by the cirrhotic liver. The fluid can become infected (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) and can be life threatening. More often, the fluid causes abdominal discomfort and weight gain.
Because blood flow through the liver is slowed in cirrhosis, blood returning from the intestine back to the heart must find alternative channels. This often leads to the engorgement of varicose-like veins (varices) in the esophagus and stomach. These thin-walled veins can rupture under high pressure and cause internal hemorrhage. This can result in vomiting of blood, passing of black tarry stools, and even shock.
The liver of a patient with cirrhosis also poorly filters toxins (like ammonia) that can accumulate in the blood. This can lead to confusion or personality changes (encephalopathy). Forgetfulness, loss of concentration, confusion, and poor sleeping habits may be a consequence. When this condition becomes severe, loss of consciousness (coma) and impaired breathing can develop. Patients are also very sensitive to medications that are normally filtered by the liver. This is especially true of sedatives and sleeping medications.
Kidney failure frequently accompanies liver failure. Urine production is markedly diminished as cirrhosis worsens. In end-stage cirrhosis, complete kidney shut down (hepato-renal syndrome) is usually fatal.
How is the diagnosis of cirrhosis made?
The diagnosis of cirrhosis may be indicated by a physical examination and laboratory studies. The liver may be enlarged. Small red spider-like markings (telangiectasias) may be seen on the skin, particularly on the chest. Yellowness of the skin (jaundice) and in the whites of the eyes can be seen. Blood tests often reveal decreased blood proteins, elevated bilirubin, abnormal levels of liver enzymes, and diminished clotting factors. Special viral tests may implicate viral infection as the cause of cirrhosis. Elevated iron levels in the blood suggest the possibility of hemochromatosis. Diminished levels of ceruloplasmin in the blood suggest abnormality in handling copper, and hence Wilson's disease. The presence of abnormal antibodies (antinuclear antibody, anti-smooth muscle antibody) in the blood, suggests autoimmune hepatitis. In certain circumstances, an x-ray test may be ordered to see the liver. Confirmation of the diagnosis may be made by obtaining a piece of the liver (biopsy) which can be examined under a microscope. This is a procedure whereby a needle is placed through the skin directly into the liver to obtain a liver sample.
What are the treatments for cirrhosis?
Once scarring of the liver occurs, it is permanent. The treatment of cirrhosis is designed to limit any further damage to the liver as well as any complications. A good diet and supplemental vitamins may help. Any drugs, including alcohol, that can lead to additional liver damage should be avoided. If a virus is found to be responsible for the liver damage, possible anti-viral treatment may be indicated. Interferon can be helpful when the cause of the disease is Hepatitis B or C and the condition is not severely advanced. In cirrhosis related to the overload of certain metals, the metal burden in the body can be diminished by bloodletting (as in hemochromatosis) or medications to cause increased urine excretion (as in Wilson's disease). Medications that suppress immunity such as prednisone and azathioprine (IMMURAN) are used in autoimmune hepatitis.
The tendency to retain fluid in cirrhosis can often be managed with restrictions of fluid and salt intake. Sometimes, medication that increases urine production (diuretics) may be used to reduce ascites and edema. Itching can sometimes be improved with cholestyramine (QUESTRAN), a medicine that binds bile. When mental function impairment results from severe liver damage, dietary restriction of protein and the use of lactulose, which binds toxins in the intestines can help.
Bleeding from the veins into the esophagus can be treated by infusing sclerosing agents that work by scarring the veins closed (sclerotherapy). These agents are administered through a flexible tube which is visually placed through the mouth into the esophagus. Frequently several sessions are necessary to obliterate all the veins. When bleeding is uncontrollable, surgery may be necessary. This involves the creation of a bypass (shunt) to redirect blood away from the liver. Unfortunately, mental confusion can result although bleeding is controlled. More recently, non-surgical methods have emerged which allow the creation of a bypass through the liver that can be done through the veins in the neck. This procedure has also been successful in the management of severe fluid overload which also complicates cirrhosis.
When cirrhosis is far advanced, liver transplantation might be considered. Recent advances transplantation surgery, and medications to prevent infection and graft rejection have significantly improved survival. On average, over eighty percent of recipients are alive after five years. In addition, newer medications have allowed for a higher quality of life, with most patients returning to their previous work.
What are the future goals in cirrhosis research?
Progress in the management and prevention of cirrhosis continues. Research is ongoing to determine the mechanism of scar formation in the liver, and how this process can be interrupted. Newer and better treatments for viral liver disease are being developed with improved guidelines regarding their indications. Better understanding of the complications of cirrhosis may lead to improved treatments.

The Embarrassing Moment
Oh hello. Good? That's great! I myself am feeling somewhat mixed. Please let me explain. I won't bore you with too much expository information, but there are two incidents (one of them doesn't even count as that) I feel compelled to describe to you, and some background is necessary. Right at the moment, I'm sliding down the long barrel of a four-day weekend, because my wife is in Wisconsin on family business, and I, quite honestly needed the rest. Today is my first full one of the four, and my plans had been to be dropped off by my wife, on her way to the airport, at a spot where I could get breakfast, shop, etc., ending up, finally at a point where I was walking out of a movie theater, having just seen Warcraft, and starting the long walk home that would be broken up by dinner at a Japanese restaurant that was very near where my wife and I have lived for over a decade but had never been inside, despite the fact that Japanese cuisine is a favorite of ours.
So cut to me catching a much earlier show of Warcraft than I'd initially planned, because I was tired, I'm a pedestrian, and I just couldn't kill that much time (I picked up Hail, Caesar! on Blu-ray, though!). The first preview before Warcraft was for Central Intelligence, the Dwayne Johnson/Kevin Hart vehicle, which begins with a fat man dancing in the shower. In the row in front of me was a guy who was very clearly digging it, and laughing, and nodding along with all the jokes I hated. I looked at him in the light coming from the movie screen and thought "What kind of person thinks these jokes are funny?" Then, very quickly, I thought to, and about, myself: "You're a real asshole, you know that?"
Thus epiphanized, I settled in to watch Warcraft, which is a big unsuccessful goofball of a movie that I don't quite regret paying to see but will forget ever having seen in about seventy-six hours. And I walk home, with the intention of bypassing the Japanese restaurant entirely, because listen, I am tired, guys, and they don't start serving dinner until 5:00, and with this shift in film showtimes (I was originally going to see Warcraft at 3:00, and...well, never mind) it just wouldn't pan out for me, long as fuck though the walk home was, and is. Finally I get home, and I'm dicking around like a total dick, when I think "I should walk back to that Japanese place." Japanese is my favorite cuisine, I get excited every time I'm planning a visit or heading to a Japanese restaurant, I love the food, I love the atmosphere, I love the variety, I love every single thing there is to love about a good Japanese restaurant, whether it be modest or high-end. Plus it's gonna be hot as literal shit the next two days, and I don't plan on leaving the house, even if some magic asshole is like "Come join me in my billionaire fire balloon!" I'd be like "No thanks, Chester," because our air conditioning is working pretty well at the moment.
So I walked back to the restaurant, and I ordered a lot of food. I spent way too much money today in general, and I should probably just role over and go to sleep and not even post this. But I spent what I spent, and I loved my meal. In the midst of which, and here we reach our point, at the sushi bar I began talking to a woman two seats down from me. I can't remember why this conversation began, exactly, but she's Caucasian and American, while her (I'm assuming) husband is a native of Japan. Among the things discussed were which is the best Japanese restaurant in our general region, and the husband, who I have no reason to believe did not know his business, said the best such restaurant was the very place in which we were currently sitting.
That's great! He kept having to get up, so I talked mostly to his wife. She was very nice, and she'd clearly been to Japan many times. Since Japanese culture is a subject of some fascination for me, I both asked her questions and, and this is the whole point, wished to prove that, look, I know a little bit about Japan, okay? How, I can imagine you asking, did I prove this lack of ignorance? Interesting story: I said "I saw this movie once by Yasujiro Ozu called A Hen in the Wind which is about a married woman who feels like she has to prostitute herself because..."
And so on. Pretty quickly after the above, I was moved to add "I'm sorry, I just..." and she said "No that's okay" and then her husband came back and wrote down other Japanese restaurants my wife and I should try, even though the one which currently housed us could not, in his estimation, be beat in the region. They left, my dessert came, I paid my check. The dessert was delicious.
Don't ever try to impress anyone. If you're me, at least. The End.
Ha. Been there...

Q: emacs - add decimal value to column of numbers I'm working with some nastran input files that have the following structure:
GRID,1,,0.000,0.000,0.000,0
GRID,2,,0,000,1.653,0.000,0

What I would like to do is add a specific value to a single column, for example, add 1.653 to the 4th column and get:
GRID,1,,0.000,1.653,0.000,0
GRID,2,,0,000,3.306,0.000,0

I've found a few example that show how to do this for integers but can't seem to get this to work for the example I've outlined above.
Thanks in advance for the help!

A: Using the answer in the linked question it can be done with replace like this, for example:
C-M-%
^\([^,]*,[^,]*,[^,]*,[^,]*,\)\([^,]*\)\(.*\)
return
\,(concat \1 (number-to-string (+ 1.653 (string-to-number \2))) \3)
Note that in your example the second line has more columns (commas) than the first. Probably a typo.

A: Respective as command
(defun raise-column ()
  (interactive "*")
  (save-excursion
    (save-restriction
      (widen)
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (while (re-search-forward "^\\([^,]*,[^,]*,[^,]*,[^,]*,\\)\\([^,]*\\)\\(.*\\)" nil t 1)
        (replace-match (concat (match-string-no-properties 1) (number-to-string (+ 1.653 (string-to-number (match-string-no-properties 2)))) (match-string-no-properties 3)))))))

Green Party Supports Chicago Teachers Strike
The Green Party stands with the Chicago Teachers Union in their strike demands, including lowering class size and hiring more support staff such as nurses, librarians, social workers, special education case managers and bilingual teachers. We support their demands for affordable housing for new teachers and more than 16,000 homeless students, and their demands for higher raises and more school funding.
"The Green Party emphasizes its pro-labor platform and urges all ... area residents to stand in solidarity with striking school employees, and workers everywhere to join and support those refusing to cross picket lines in whatever capacity they can," said Tony Ndege, co-chair of the Green Party of the United States.

"The strike is about reducing class sizes to better address the needs of each student while giving them access to culturally relevant curriculum," said Tammie Vinson, Chicago special education teacher and 2018 Green Party candidate for Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (Cook County). "We believe that the decline of experienced, mainly black educators is the result of a flawed resource allocation system; student based budgeting and a biased evaluation. We're asking that the lowest paid workers are given parity to be able to afford the rising cost of living in Chicago. We want each student to have access to a quality education regardless of zip code," said Vinson.
"As a special education teacher, I want the unique needs of all students to be central when staffing schools, purchasing resources and deciding which schools are closed and before families are displaced," added Vinson.
"In the richest country in the history of the world, there is simply no excuse for students to be homeless or teachers to be underpaid," said Riley Mahon, 2019 Green Party candidate for the Upper Saint Clair School Board in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania. "I fully support the Chicago Teachers Union in their fight for affordable housing, raises, and higher school funding." Mahon is a senior at Upper Saint Clair High School.
