You can buy pretty much anything you want with an Xbox One gift card, anything from Avatar items (why I don't know) all the way up to whole games/movies.
Basically if you can get it on the Xbox One store, you can use a gift card to pay for all or part of it.
Xbox.com won't let me use gift card to buy anything.

Relying solely on Social Security can lead to major sacrifices in retirement. In 2018, 41.8 million retired workers received an average monthly retirement benefit of $1,404. This was about 21% of couples and 43% of singles, the check represents 90% or more of their household income, leaving them on the brink of poverty for the rest of their lives.
For retirees still carrying credit card debt, mortgages, or car payments, $1,400 per month is not enough. Avoiding common retirement mistakes can prevent these statistics from becoming your reality.
Many seniors retire and immediately move to a new location. You may dislike the cold temperatures or high cost of living in your current city. Whether you move to a warmer climate or cheaper destination, relocating uses up valuable resources. If you move and hate your new living situation, you will incur even more costs to move again.
An area may be a perfect vacation spot, but doesn't suit you for year-round living. For instance, warmer climates can become uncomfortably hot during the summer months or have unbearable weather during the rainy season. Many times, a dream retirement destination can turn into a miserable existence. Other common challenges include a slower pace than you wanted, no friends or family nearby, and boredom.
Test the area before you relocate.
Before finalizing a retirement move, spend time in your desired location. Travel to the destination at different times of the year and stay for an extended time. Get a feel for the lifestyle and the people, especially if you want to live in another country. Overseas locations require an adjustment to the local laws, language, and customs, which can be overwhelming for even the most laid-back individuals.
It is also wise to rent initially. Invest in real estate, once you know you want to stay a while. Many retirees move and then decide they don't like the location and move again.
As you approach retirement, it is tempting to move investment dollars into more conservative funds. Experience teaches that while you can make money in the stock market, it also fluctuates daily. A major downturn can wipe out savings, leaving you with an underfunded retirement.
However, moving into conservative funds too soon can also leave you without the growth needed to keep up with inflation. Since 1926, investors have received an annual average return of nearly 10%. Bank accounts, CDs, and most bond funds do not come close to earning at this level.
Redirect one to five years' worth of funds into conservative vehicles, such as money market funds or CDs. Then adjust your remaining portfolio risk between mid and long-term investments. You could spend 30 years in retirement, which leaves plenty of room for both growth and recovery.
You often remain in the same home for over a decade and collect a lot of unused and unwanted items in the process. You may store the belongings of adult children, hobbies long-forgotten, and unused things filling the back of your closet and garage.
Retirement is an opportunity to de-clutter and rid yourself of too much stuff. Doing so will make it easier to downsize, move into a retirement community, and avoid passing unwanted items to heirs. However, there are many items that you should not discard.
Before throwing away business or personal documents, consult with your family lawyer or accountant. There are records you should keep for a certain number of years, and some you should keep indefinitely.
Depending on your profession, there may be papers that have certain information which you must maintain, even after retirement. Common professions with document storage laws include accountants, dentists, doctors, and lawyers. The IRS can also initiate an audit for up to three years after filing a tax return. Documentation involving capital improvement on your home, stocks, funds, and contributions to retirement accounts are all records to keep because they help determine the cost basis for tax purposes.
Before discarding antiques, which could include old collections, heirlooms, or furniture, consult with an appraiser or online source to establish an estimated value. You may find you can sell the item rather than discarding or donating it.
Everyone hopes to have good health well into retirement, but over time it could decline. Family members may not be able to care for you full-time. Experts estimate that up to 70% of seniors will require some form of long-term care. With in-home care averaging $3,800 per month, and nursing home costs reaching nearly $8,000 per month, or $96,000 per year.
Even if you have saved and prepared for retirement, your funds can quickly erode due to the high cost of care. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover most of the costs related to long-term care.
Purchase long-term care insurance. Policy premiums depend on your age and current health. If you buy a policy while you are still healthy, you can find a policy that can meet your needs within a budget you can afford. For example, a 55-year-old male could buy a policy for less than $200 a month. If you wait until 65 to purchase long-term care insurance, the premium could double.
No one likes to think about death. However, preparing while you are mentally able is an important step to take for your future well-being. A power-of-attorney assigns someone else to take care of your finances, should you become unable. Without it, an unexpected illness could leave family members without access to critical funds to pay for your care.
A will creates a directive for your assets. Without it, the state laws decide which heirs receive which assets. Even if you only have a car and a bank account, it is important to determine how you want assets distributed upon your passing, and who will be in charge of your estate.
Failure to create a will and power-of-attorney can leave your affairs in the hands of the courts, create financial hardship for your family, and potentially distribute assets contrary to your desires.
Create a will and power-of-attorney and update them as changes occur. You can also title assets to bypass the will, providing heirs with access to money faster. For example, you can earmark retirement accounts and life insurance proceeds to a beneficiary, rather than distributing those assets through the will.


We've just learned that GoFundMe.com cancelled the campaign to raise funds to promote the speech by Bob Avakian, "Why We Need An Actual Revolution And How We Can Really Make Revolution." This will premiere online on October 19 and needs to be seen by many thousands who hate the way people are forced to live under this system. Over $2,300 of the $5,000 goal had been raised which has now all been refunded to the donors.
GoFundMe has yet to give a reason for this, but we are waiting for its response. This is unacceptable! What's at stake here is whether or not people will be able to get a basic understanding of the truth that this system can't be reformed… the need and possibility for a radically different world, and how to fight for that world through an actual revolution… or even be able to debate this!
1. CONTRIBUTE funds to spread the word of the online release of this speech. This is all the more reason you are needed… to get word of this speech everywhere, up from the grassroots. Spread the message that the defenders of the old order don't want you to hear. Spread this trailer and ask others to donate. For now, contribute HERE.
2. Write to GoFundMe in protest. Contact them through their help page here: https://www.gofundme.com/mvc.php?route=contact/suggest or on social media. Demand they re-instate the campaign from RCP Publications!
3. Double down! We're now 10 days away from when our promotional campaign was going to start and just 14 days away from the online premiere. We had an initial goal of $5,000… let's double it! This message of real revolution is going up against the whole status quo… all the naysayers who tell you to accept the horrors of this system and confine ourselves to the margins. Say NO to this! Contribute generously, spread this message, organize a fundraiser or bake sale. If you already contributed, and your money was refunded, contribute again HERE and give more than your initial contribution. Don't let this message be suppressed!

General Shale Wins Industry Awards for Brick in Architecture Projects
Posted on July 31, 2017 August 1, 2017 by corp12imag
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — Two projects featuring General Shale products have been recognized by the Brick Industry Association (BIA) as winners in the 2017 Brick in Architecture awards competition.
General Shale received a Gold Award in the Municipal/Government category for the Beardsley Community Farm Education Center, a nonprofit urban farm located in Knoxville, Tennessee. Completed in 2016, the education center is a design/build project that involved more than 50 students from the University of Tennessee School of Architecture and Design, and provides a valuable tool for teaching sustainable farming practices to the surrounding community. More than 30,000 General Shale brick units were used to construct triple-width brick walls for the education center, providing superior energy efficiency and helping the project meet the requirements for LEED Gold certification.
The company also received a Gold Award in the Residential: Multi-Family category for The Jefferson condominium building, located in New York City's East Village. Situated on the former site of the city's first vaudeville theater, the 115,000-square-foot project was constructed in 2013 — 100 years after its namesake — and was awarded LEED Gold certification in 2016. Reminiscent of a theater's proscenium stage, The Jefferson's prominent center frames the building's façade with dark brick piers — a charcoal brick blend provided by General Shale. This brick accent offers a compelling contrast to the façade's predominantly light brick, which echoes the beauty of masonry used throughout the neighborhood.
The nation's premier architectural award featuring clay brick, the Brick in Architecture Awards have been held annually since 1989. Judged by independent design professionals, the awards recognize outstanding designs that combine genuine clay brick with aesthetics and sustainability.
"General Shale is honored to be recognized by industry professionals for these two exceptional projects," says Charles Smith, president and CEO of General Shale. "Both of these projects are excellent examples of innovative architecture featuring brick, with outstanding results. We are pleased to see our products continue to be featured in award-winning designs."
Headquartered in Johnson City, Tennessee, General Shale is the North American subsidiary of Wienerberger AG and a leading manufacturer of brick, one of the world's oldest green building materials.
ABOUT GENERAL SHALE

I The Rainband sono un gruppo indie-rock inglese fondato nel settembre del 2010 dal cantante Martin Finnigan e dal chitarrista Phil Rainey. Al gruppo si aggiunsero il batterista Steve Irlam e il bassista Joe Wilson, che lasciò il gruppo per insegnare a Bristol, ritornando poi nel 2012 come chitarrista. Successivamente si aggiunse il bassista Sam Wilson, fratello di Joe.
Nel 2010 scrissero la colonna sonora per un libro,   chiamato "Broken Youth", scritto dall'autrice locale Karen Woods. La band suonò questo pezzo durante un'esibizione su Sky Tv. A seguito di questa apparizione, ci fu il debutto del tour autunnale nel Regno Unito, e la band fu nominata come "Band dell'anno" dalla rivista Natter. Una casa discografica indipendente di Manchester, la Affinity Records, offrì un contratto alla band.
Durante una sessione radio a Manchester la band incontrò una delle più grandi band del Regno Unito, i Simple Minds. Al riguardo Martin disse: "Il manager dei Simple Minds ascoltò me e Phil suonare "Broken Youth" in versione acustica e ci chiese di ascoltare la versione intera con la band. L'abbiamo suonata a Jim Kerr e l'ha adorata!"
"Successivamente Jim in persona mi chiamò per chiedermi se avremmo voluto fare da supporto al loro prossimo tour -Io pensai che fosse uno dei miei compagni che scherzava- ma era veramente lui. Siamo loro grandi fan perciò era assolutamente meraviglioso."
Con le date estive del tour dei Simple Minds già in ballo per il 2011, la band realizzò il suo EP di debutto nel Marzo di quell'anno. La band intraprese un tour nel Regno Unito per promuovere l'EP, e grazie ad esso ebbero la possibilità di aprire i concerti dei Charlatans. I fan erano in continua crescita.
Il loro successivo single , She's a Rainbow, guadagnò elogio di artisti come Johnny Marr e Guy Garvey. Il negozio di abbigliamento di Liam Gallagher, Pretty Greeb, fu scelto per lanciare il singolo durante una delle numerose date di Londra.
Il singolo successivo fu "The Prodigal". Questa canzone vede una collaborazione con Rowetta dei "The Happy Mondays", che si è unita ai ragazzi per un tour di 7 date con i giganti indie Ocean Colour Scene.
Il culmine del 2011 ha visto il quartetto di Manchester esibirsi vittoriosi in casa propria all' "HMV Ritz" il 18 dicembre con il tutto esaurito.
La band è entrata in studio all'inizio del 2012, registrando inizialmente la colonna sonora del film indipendente 'Plenty More Fish In The Sea'. Successivamente sono stati chiamati per suonare alla gara inglese della Motogp a Silverstone, a seguito del successo del concerto dell' HMV Ritz. Dopo aver letto un articolo su una fondazione istituita per il pilota della MotoGp Marco Simoncelli (che perse la vita alla gara della Malasya nel 2011) la band decise di scrivere e registrare il loro prossimo singolo come tributo a Marco e aiuto alla fondazione Simoncelli.  Fu organizzato un incontro con la famiglia Simoncelli in Italia e la famiglia accettò la richiesta.
In soli tre mesi, la canzone "Rise again" si è assicurata la collaborazione al piano del campione del mondo di Sbk James Toseland , un video clip girato a Coriano, una performance live con James Toseland , e un debutto alla nona posizione nella Classifica dei single indipendenti.
Martin Finnigan, il cantante dei The Rainband, disse:
"Quando siamo andati a Italia e ho incontrato la famiglia Simoncelli , decidemmo che tutti i profitti sarebbero andati alla Fondazione . Strinsi la mano al padre di Marco e gli feci una promessa . Quando sono tornato , ho telefonato a James Toseland e lui ha accettato subito di suonare la canzone e da lì è decollato."

I The Rainband suonarono la canzone , con James Toseland al piano, di fronte ad un pubblico di oltre 60.000 a Silverstone nel giugno del 2012 al Round inglese della Motogp . Tutti i profitti andarono alla Fondazione Marco Simoncelli, il quale scopo era costruire case di cura per disabili in tutto il mondo.
Rise Again è stato realizzato indipendentemente dalla band.

Nel 2014, The Rainband hanno l'occasione per farsi ulteriormente conoscere dal grande pubblico aprendo i concerti del Caustic Love Tour di Paolo Nutini.

I know I'm in the minority but Popmart is my favorite. I've only attended Vertigo and 360, though.
Very unique visual experience, The boxing match intro, The Lemon, Discotheque.. ah.. love it.
Zoo TV... hands down because it was so DIFFERENT from the Joshua Tree and it just blew my mind. The songs, the visuals, the freshness... it may very well be the first and last HUGE departure from the "norm" by a band that also worked exceedingly well. We may NEVER see the likes of this again. Think about it. This doesn't mean their subsequent tours will not be good, it's just that the Zoo TV tour was perfect in its timing and execution with the end of the Cold War, the election of Bill Clinton, the Rock the Vote campaign and just the freshness of the music. It was a heady time indeed. I miss it... yet I still have my arms wide open to the future... yet I LOVE this period. Please, give us a Zoo TV Outside Broadcast DVD / BluRay release.
This is easy. Zoo TV.
2. Pranking George HW Bush every night!
8. U2 reinvented themselves when the other big 80's bands had failed.
10. U2 dominating the world airwaves from Sydney, "going live to the planet tonight so lets hope this sh1t works". What band has had their entire 2-hour concert on prime-time TV across the whole of western civilization since?
20th anniversary of Sydney is coming up, so I expect a DVD release, maybe with additional unseen footage and a montage of prank calls from toher concert shows. The only weakness of the Sydney show was that the prank call was to a taxi company, not the white house!!
Zoo TV was the height of artistry.
First, the idea of traveling with a TV station was and is to this day completely mental.
Second, consistency. For the most part the U2 set didn't change. They were supremely confident in their shows. If you listen back to the first zoo tv show to the last, they just got better and better.
Third- Achtung Baby was so different and so fresh. To play those songs for the first time live? Forget about it!
The set list logic flowed well, they rocked, they danced through that show. I also believe they had fun as well. They didnt take themselves so seriously!

Q – Who is Karndean International?
A – Karndean is the leading manufacturer of vinyl design flooring. They are well known in the UK, and are now distributing in the US.
Q – What is Karndean made of?
A – Karndean flooring is made up of pure virgin PVC with high quality plasticizers and is manufactured to create a textured surface which replicates the natural products.
Q – Will a Karndean floor be slippery?
A – As with most smooth floor coverings, water and other liquids on the surface of the floor can make them slippery. Karndean floors do have high levels of non-slip properties, however to prevent falls, clean spills up immediately and keep the floor dry.
Q – Will Karndean fade?
A – Like any other floor covering, Karndean may incur a slight fading when in direct sunlight for long periods of time.
Q – What are the differences between each of the Karndean ranges?
A – The difference between the ranges; Knight Tile, Renoir, Van Gogh, Michelangelo and Da Vinci, is that each product has a different wear layer, therefore has a different life expectancy.
Karndean vinyl flooring can also be used commercially. All lines have a 10 year commercial warranty, except for Knight-Tile. Karndean's Knight-Tile Line has a 10 year light commercial use warranty.
Q – What are the differences between Metallic Strips, Feature Strips, and Design Strips?
A – Strips give a contemporary feel to any Karndean floor when added between tiles & wood planks to simulate grouting or to complement or contrast with the main product.
Metallic Strip – Available in: 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, 30mm and 76mm. The Metallic Strips may be used in Standard Borders and features.
Feature Strips – Available in 6 colors, these 5mm wide strips are usually used on tile floors to give the effect of natural grout lines or to complement wood planks.
Design Strips – These are strips cut from another tile or wood plank and are available in 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, 30mm and 76mm widths.
Q – What are Standard Borders, and Design Strips?
A – Standard Border – A standard border is a patterned border, designed to complement tile and wood plank floors. Karndean have selected an assortment of decorative border options to accompany all the ranges.
Design Border – These are single strips of product which can be added to the edge of your floor. Design Strips are available in 3mm, 5mm, 10mm, 30mm and 76mm widths. Metallic Strips are also available.
Q – Can I fit Karndean myself?
A – Due to the complexity of the product, Karndean is not promoted as a DIY product and we recommend that it is only installed by professional fitters.
Q – Is there anything I need to do before the floor is laid?
A – Prior to laying Karndean, products must be acclimated to room temperature. Remove material from packaging, spread out and allow to condition in the room where installation is to take place at a constant temperature of 65°-85° for a period of 24-48 hours prior to installation. This temperature should be maintained during installation and for a 24-48 hour period after installation.
Q – Where can Karndean be laid in my home?
A – Karndean flooring can be laid in any room in your home including the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living / dining room, hallway, conservatory plus any room that you wish.
Q – Can Karndean be laid in a conservatory?
A – Yes, it is possible to install Karndean in rooms where temperature extremes are likely to occur. A Karndean High Temperature adhesive (HT) or Epoxy must be used. Karndean products must be acclimatized to room temperature 24-48 hours before installation, during and for a period of 24-48 hours after installation. It may be necessary to protect the room from direct sunlight during fitting.
Q – Can Karndean be laid over under floor heating?
A – Yes, Karndean can be fitted over floors incorporating under floor heating, but these must be insulated to ensure the surface temperature does not exceed 80°F. The under floor heating must be switched off 48 hours before, during, and 48 hours following the installation, and Karndean High Temperature or Epoxy adhesive must be used. Please check the under floor heating products instructions prior to fitting Karndean.
Q – Is Karndean suitable for use on walls or ceilings?
A – No. Karndean is a floor-covering therefore it is not recommended to be laid anywhere apart from the floor.
Q – Can Karndean be laid outside?
A – No. Karndean is not suitable for outside use.
Q – Can I use Karndean next to an Aga stove or an open fire?
A – If you are fitting Karndean next to an Aga stove or open fire ensure that the product is not in direct contact with a hot surface of the stove or fire place. Karndean should not be laid where floor temperature exceeds 27°C (80°F). Like any other floor-covering, Karndean will burn if flames or a spark lands on the vinyl.
Q – What are the correct room conditions for installation?
A – The room should be a constant temperature of between 18°C (64°F) and 26°C (79°F) for at least 24 hours before, during and after installation.
Q – The floor has been laid, now what?
A – The floor should not be washed and furniture should not be replaced for 24 hours after being fitted. To get the best from your new Karndean floor we advise that you follow the Karndean Cleaning & Maintenance System. Karndean floors are very hardwearing and like all vinyl products, regular maintenance will enhance the beauty and durability of your new floor.
Q – How do I remove scratches?
A – If Karndean's Dim Glow has been applied after the floor was laid, light scratches can be removed by applying a small amount of Karndean Basic Stripper to the affected area.
Q – What is the best way to clean a Karndean floor?
A – One advantage of having a Karndean vinyl floor is that it is extremely easy to clean and maintain. For best cleaning result use the Karndean Routine Cleaner regularly. If necessary, sweep the floor with a soft, clean brush to remove any loose grit and dirt. Use 1 quart in a bucket with about 3 quarts of cold water. Keeping the mop damp, not wet, mop over the entire floor area and leave to dry. DO NOT USE non-Karndean cleaning products as some cleaning products contain agents that can damage the floor.
Q – Can spilt liquids seep through tile edges?
A – A Karndean floor should have been fitted tightly so that no spillages seep through tile edges or custom cuts. Spills should be cleaned up immediately to avoid slippery surfaces.
Q – What floor mat should I use on a Karndean?
A – Do not allow rubber backed mats or rubber footed furniture to come into contact with the floor. Products used in the manufacturing of the rubber backed mats may migrate to the Karndean vinyl flooring and stain it.
Q – How should I protect my Karndean vinyl floor against furniture?
A – Table and chair legs can scratch a Karndean floor so should be protected by applying felt pads to the underside of the feet.
Q – How do I remove black scuff marks from my floor?
A – Dilute a small amount of Karndean Basic Stripper in some water. Use a moistened cloth (or a non-abrasive nylon scouring pad for persistent marks) with the diluted solution. You may need to apply a small amount of Dim Glow to the area affected.

Супруга — психотерапевт Елена Алексеевна Шаповал (род. 1944); дети: Северин Гречаный и Ксения Горелик.

Научная деятельность
В. В. Гречаный занимается изучением вопросов, связанных с аксиологией человека, аксиологией русской философии и прагматикой языка. Он обосновывает идею аксиологически направленной философии. Аксиология рассматривается им как составная часть философии (наряду с онтологией и гносеологией) и как метафилософия. Соотношение онтологии, гносеологии и аксиологии понимается по аналогии с методологической взаимосвязью синтактики, семантики и прагматики. Устанавливается взаимосвязь аксиологии с философской антропологией и с гуманизмом. Онтологические и гносеологические вопросы философии излагаются с антропологической и аксеологической точек зрения. Экзистенциальные дихотомии человека рассматриваются в их проявлении в переоценке, девальвации, конфликте, кризисе ценностей. Гречаный считает, что аксиологически направленная философия по сравнению с другими философскими направлениями имеет наоболее благоприятную возможность выразить общефилософское отношение к историческим потрясениям, вызванным кризисом человека и человечности.

bonsai, repotting bonsai, Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai club
The Continuing Saga of my Raffle-Winning Bonsai
March 20, 2015 Jan Nelson
It all started several years ago at the annual bonsai show presented by the Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai Club. I was sitting in the front row watching the sensei (meaning teacher) finish styling an overgrown 5 gallon juniper into a breathtaking specimen. It was truly impressive with the branches suggesting a tree growing on a windswept hill. The raffle started which is one of the main fund raisers for the club. Of the many prizes offered the large specimen created by the sensei is the the most coveted. I sat and sat and sat as dozens of numbers other than mine were called and eager winners walked away with smaller finished bonsai, starter plants, pots and tools. But then the last number was drawn with much fanfare as this was for the giant creation. I heard my number. I was beside overjoyed not only because I never win anything but because this prize was so exquisite.
Fast forward to the present. With the 27th Annual Bonsai Show coming up I knew I would be asked how my specimen was doing. I hate to admit but I hadn't repotted it as I should have and how do I prune the darn thing? So I sought out an expert in the Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai club to help me. Although it's not difficult repotting a bonsai is quite different than repotting an ornamental shrub on your patio. I didn't want to mess up.
Fellow Bonny Dooner and longtime member of the club, Ed Lambing was more than happy to show me his collection and help me with the repotting of my juniper. He even shared with me his recipe for the mix he uses which is usually a highly guarded secret by bonsai enthusiasts-on the same scale with "if I told you I'd have to kill you".
Ed and Nancy Lambing have created a beautifully landscaped garden that just keeps getting better with time. From the koi pond to the naturalistic rock swimming pool to the wisteria pergola everything looks like it has always been just so. At every turn Ed has displayed his larger bonsai on tree trunks and flat rocks. He also has a greenhouse for repotting and nurturing cuttings, a bonsai nursery where specimens are in training and a bonsai display area for his prized specimens that gets the best morning sun and afternoon shade.
The word bonsai comes from two Japanese words that provide the most basic definition of the living art form. "Bon" means tray or pot while "sai" means to plant. Ed's interest in this art form first started 30 years ago. He now has more bonsai than I could count. He has a California juniper bonsai that is estimated to be 400 years old based on It's trunk diameter. It takes 100 years for this plant to grow 3/4" trunk thickness. Other trees in his collection include several very old and gnarled olive trees, citrus, shefflera, maples and elms to name just a few.
Back in the greenhouse we started to repot my juniper. Ed wired some small branches to create a more wind-blown look, eased my root-bound dwarf Japanese garden juniper from it's pot and proceeded to tease the roots. Other steps ranged from wiring screen over the holes in the bottom of the pot to root pruning 2/3 of the root hairs- yikes- and then placing the trunk over gravel at the side of the new pot to mimic the effects of wind on the tree. Ed advised me that my tree was a good prospect for a root over rock or "Sekijoju" specimen in the future. I'll need to find just the right rock for the upper roots to grip and look like they were exposed by erosion over a period of time.
After wiring the top heavy juniper into the pot. Ed added his special bonsai potting mix and then used a chopstick to wiggle the mix down into the root ball to eliminate air pockets and compact the mix over the entire pot. Bonsai in America has thankfully evolved into it's own style. I love the look o f the glazed pot I used when repotting my tree but traditional Japanese style would have used a plain unglazed one.
All the members of the Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai club are busy getting ready for their annual show. Each decides which of their specimens will be entered in the show, offered for sale or contributed to the raffle. Moss needs to be collected, the correct base chosen to complement each specimen, training wires removed, pots cleaned and polished.
Ed has a 20 year old Japanese Maple that he plans to show. It started life before he got it as a 5 gallon plant and has been in training ever since. Unfortunately, a beautiful wisteria which was just starting to bloom at the time of my visit will be mostly finished by the time of the annual bonsai show so won't be there.
One of the reasons we all admire bonsai is how old they look. While some are actually hundreds of years old and handed down in families others just look very old and some techniques help further this allusion. Ed plans to show another California Juniper, this one 200 yrs old and originally styled by famed bonsai sensei "Mr California Juniper", Harry Hirao. Using the "Jin" technique it has the illusion of even more age due to the weathered dieback of some branches.
Every plant sold or raffled at the show comes with an invitation to the monthly Santa Cruz Bonsai Kai club meetings where new enthusiasts are welcomed and nurtured. You can find out more by attending the 27th Annual Bonsai Show which takes place from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm on both Saturday, March 28th and Sunday, March 29th at the Museum of Art and History at 705 Front Street in Santa Cruz. Entry fee is $5 per person for the Bonsai Show and Museum.
Besides taking in the beautiful bonsai on display you can purchase breathtaking finished bonsai and starter plants as well as get experienced help with trees purchased. There will be door prizes and refreshments. You might even win the raffle for the demonstration specimen created each day at 2:00 pm by Bonsai Artist, Mike Pistello.

Curlew River (uváděno též jako Řeka Sumida nebo Řeka kolih) je opera Benjamina Brittena složená na námět středověké japonské hry Řeka Sumida. Libreto napsal William Plomer. Premiéru měla opera 13. ledna 1964 v kostele sv. Bartoloměje v Orfordu v Suffolku. Britten zde, stejně jako v dalších svých specifických scénických dílech, tzv. church parables - duchovních podobenství, zpracovává formou středověkých chrámových představení dějově jednoduchý příběh s duchovním poselstvím na téma bídy pozemského života člověka a velkorysosti Boží milosti.

Charakteristika díla
Opera začíná i končí obřadním průvodem mnichů, kteří během hry, kteří během hry, v čistém stylu japonského divadla nó, sami stylizovaně ztělesňují všechny postavy včetně ústřední ženské role Matky. Brittenův hudební jazyk vychází z motiviky úvodního latinského chorálu. Celkově tak jemnou formou dochází k prolínání západní a východní kultury.

Obsah děje
Děj opery točí kolem setkání poutníka s převozníkem, kterého žádá o přeplutí přes řeku. Během plavby převozník vypráví příběh o neznámém cizinci, se kterým byl malý chlapec. Když oba vystoupili na druhém břehu, odmitl chlapec pokračovat v cestě s dotyčným cizincem. Ten jej zbil a pokračovla v cestě sám. Ačkoliv s chlapce ujali lidé od řeky, dotyčný vysílením zanedlouho zemřel. Poutník slyší pláč ženy, matky dotyčného chlapce. Vyzývá ji k modlitbě za duši jejího syna. Matka slyší hlasy jdoucí od vody - volání kolih, ptáků na řece Sumidě. Do společného zpěvu se přidává další hlas, v němž matka poznává hlas ztraceného syna. Jeho duch se zjevuje, žehná všem a matka procitá ze svého šílenství.

Inscenační historie v Česku
Česká premiéra opery proběhla 29. listopadu 2005 v rámci festivalu Struny podzimu v Českém muzeu hudby v Praze v podání souboru opery Národního divadla. Operu nastudoval Marko Ivanović. Režii měl Jiří Heřman.

Zadie Smith to Write Screenplay for Science-Fiction Film
Adrian Puryearon June 29, 2015 /0 comments
Zadie Smith, the brilliant British author, has been enlisted by Parisian filmmaker Claire Denis to co-write a new Science-Fiction Adventure film.
The story will take place sometime in the future, but it will "seem like the present."
Smith is the author of the award-winning novel White Teeth. She has not written any screen plays, but White Teeth was adapted into a television mini-series for BBC. Her novel On Beauty will also be adapted soon.
Smith will work with her husband Nick Laird on the project. He is an acclaimed Irish novelist and poet. HIs works To a Fault and Utterly Monkey were on the short list for the Dylan Thomas Prize in 2006.
This film will be Denis' first American motion picture. She is known for her work on Bastards, The Intruder, and White Material.
Zadie Smith is one of my favorite authors. White Teeth is a modern classic. While none of the people associated with the unnamed title have a background in sci-fi, perhaps that is will be refreshing for the genre. I am personally excited to see what comes of this project.

Krenek files to replace Zerwas in Texas House
By Mike Glenn
Updated 5:53 pm CDT, Tuesday, August 6, 2019
A former Fulshear city councilmember wants to replace State Rep. John Zerwas, R-Richmond, who is stepping down from the Texas House after 12 years to take a job with the University of Texas system.
Tricia Krenek this week announced her candidacy for the House District 28 seat, which covers Fulshear and a section of Katy. Zerwas, a physician, has represented the district for 12 years.
"For Bend County is one of the best places to live and raise families, work pursue your business interests and play," Krenek said in a statement. "We must continue to have strong Republican leadership that will focus on the critical issues facing our families and our communities."
Zerwas, an anesthesiologist first elected in 2006, chaired the powerful House Appropriations Committee during the last two legislative sessions.
"It has been an absolute honor to represent House Distrit 28 and I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish over the last 12 years," Zerwas said.
Democrat Eliz Markowitz, who ran last year for the Texas State Board of Education, is running for the District 28 seat. The next session of the Texas Legislature will draw new congressional and state district maps, which will be in effect through 2030.
University of Texas System Chancellor James B. Milliken said it is critical for them to have experienced leadership in the most senior levels.
"Dr. Zerwas understands our health enterprise and the needs of Texas and he will bring his experience from many perspectives to benefit our health institutions and our state," Millikin said. "His leadership experience includes ensuring quality care, building physician networks and adapting to rapidly evolving changes in health care economics and policy."

Coding Goûter is a multilingual event (EN/FR/DE/LB) where kids between the ages of 6 and 12 years old, accompanied by an adult, will get to know the world of computer programming in a fun way. A hands-on approach to programming tools, robots, logic games, algorithm puzzles, etc.
Why are we organising this event?
To give our children the chance to get acquainted with digital skills which are becoming more and more indispensable, just like reading, writing and knowing how to count: mastering of computers and programming tools.
But our mentors will not be giving magisterial coding lessons. The main idea behind the Coding Goûter is rather that kids take their first coding steps together with their parents, under the helpful supervision of our Code Club coaches. And if you've been to a coding workshop before, then don't worry, experienced participants will also have their share of fun!
At the end of the day, families will have the tools, knowledge and inspiration to continue coding at home!
Because in 'Coding Goûter', there is 'Goûter', which translates into 'Light Meal', the delicious part of the concept is the potluck: Every family should bring a little something (a cake, cookies, sweets, fruit…) so that all participants can share a friendly moment in between the workshops. We will provide the drinks.
We will provide computers and all the necessary material for the workshops. There is no need to bring your own laptop or tablet.
The workshops are organized in such a way that the children spend a fun time with their parents. Parents are requested to stay on site for the duration of the Coding Goûter. We are not prepared to welcome children without accompanying adults, or groups with many children and few caretakers.


If you're a true TLC fan you'll have been following T-Boz playing the role of former convict Sheila in the hit daytime soap Days of our Lives in a reoccurring role since she began in 2016.
She returned in 2017 after her prison release to assist another prisoner, Bonnie Lockhart, in an elaborate plot to blackmail the Kiriakis for a big payout!
During her time in the Kiriakis mansion, Sheila has posed as a maid, ordained a faux marriage and reunited with Eli Grant, her friend that got her arrested back in the day!
Things didn't go to plan and she left town empty handed, which left fans wondering if it would be the last we've seen of Sheila Watkins!
Thankfully, T-Boz has hinted that Sheila may be returning to the soap! She responded to a fan on Instagram (April 4) who asked when she would return to Days of our Lives and said "I'm shooting now".
Will you be tuning in to Days of our Lives to catch more of Sheila's shenanigans?
Update: T-Boz will be next be seen again starting on September 13, according to the show's taping schedule.

KIPRC at Kentucky Awarded $2 Million CDC Grant for Injury Prevention and Research
The Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC) at the University of Kentucky College of Public Health has received nearly $2 million over five years in funding to implement evidence-based programs to evaluate violence and injury related fatalities across the Commonwealth. The competitive grant comes from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention, and the process was facilitated by U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. KIPRC is a partnership between the Kentucky Department for Public Health and the University of Kentucky's College of Public Health.
The funding will allow KIPRC to continue and enhance programs aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect, traumatic brain injury, motor vehicle injury, and sexual assaults.
In 2014, Kentucky ranked fifth highest in unintentional injury fatality rate and twelfth highest in motor vehicle fatality rate in the nation.
"Over the next five years, the Kentucky Violence and Injury Prevention program will partner with a multitude of agencies and organizations to implement, evaluate, and disseminate evidence-based programs to prevent child abuse and neglect, traumatic brain injuries, motor vehicle injuries, intimate partner violence/sexual violence, and falls among older adults," said Dr. Terry Bunn, KIPRC director.
The competitive grant was awarded by the CDC and Prevention's Core Violence and Injury Prevention Program.

Q: HTML - Javascript on check Okay first of all i have code like this
    <input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test1">
<input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test2">
<input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test3">
<input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test4">

Now i modified it like this
<input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test1" onclick="myFunction()">
<input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test2" onclick="myFunction()">
<input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test3" onclick="myFunction()">
<input type="checkbox" class="css-checkbox" id="test4" onclick="myFunction()">

And this is myfunction
function myFunction() {
  var testArr = ["test1", "test2"];
  for (var i = 0; i < testArr.length; i++) {
    var checkBox = document.getElementById(testArr[i].value);
    if (checkBox.checked == true){
    Materialize.toast('I am a toast!', 4000)
  }
}
}

What i am trying to do ?
I am trying to show a notice/Dialog that materialize.toast will show when checkbox with id test1 or test2 are checked. and doesn't do anything when test3 or test4 is selected. i hope anyone can help me with this.

A: You can try with the below code it will helps you.
function myFunction(id) {
var c = document.getElementById(id);
if((id=='test1' || id=='test2') && c.checked)
{
 Materialize.toast('I am a toast!', 4000)
}

}

A: Issue with this line
var checkBox = document.getElementById(testArr[i].value);
It has to be
var checkBox = document.getElementById(testArr[i]).value;

Also to know if checkbox is checked, there is no need to get it's value
document.getElementById(testArr[i]).checked

will return state of checkbox

A: var checkBox = document.getElementById(testArr[i]);

This should solve your problem.

A: function myFunction() {
    debugger;
  var testArr = ["test1", "test2"];
  for (var i = 0; i < testArr.length; i++) {
    var checkBox = document.getElementById(testArr[i]);
    if (checkBox.checked == true){
    alert('I am a toast!');
  }
}
}

removing value from document.getElementById(testArr[i]).value works for me
or you can directly check checkbox is checked or not using following function
function myFunction() {
    debugger;
  var testArr = ["test1", "test2"];
  for (var i = 0; i < testArr.length; i++) {
    var flag = document.getElementById(testArr[i]).checked;
    if (flag){
    alert('I am a toast!');
  }
}
}

A: I believe the below is what you are looking for.
First, add this as a parameter in the function used in the checkbox, that way you can trigger the clicked checkbox
And then in the function check if the clicked checkbox is checked, and have the special id, then do whatever you want

function myFunction(e) {
  var testArr = ["test1", "test2"];

  var chkId = $(e).attr("id");
  if (e.checked == true && testArr.indexOf(chkId) !== -1) {
    console.log("Materialize goes here!"); //Materialize.toast('I am a toast!', 4000)

Police appeal after two men are assaulted outside Worthing Railway Station
Major Worthing road closed for two months
'Change has come today' says Labour's newest councillor after historic Worthing by-election win
'Change has come today' according to Labour's newest Worthing borough councillor after a historic by-election result.
By Jessica Hubbard, local democracy reporter
Friday, 3rd December 2021, 6:14 pm
Vicki Wells (Labour) was elected as the new Marine ward councillor with 1,239 votes to Conservative candidate Syed Ahmed's 972 votes.
Two other candidates contested the seat: Green Party candidate Sonya Mallin won 145 votes and Emma Norton received 112 votes for the Lib Dems.
The seat became vacant following the resignation of former Conservative councillor Tim Wills.
He allegedly posted messages in a private Telegram group chat affiliated with Patriotic Alternative (PA), according to an article published by anti-racism and anti-fascism campaign group Hope not Hate.
An investigation into his conduct is ongoing.
The by-election has given Labour 17 seats on the council – the same number as the Conservatives.
There are also two Lib Dem councillors and one independent councillor who is suspended by the Conservative group pending an investigation into historic Tweets.

WBC has 37 seats in total and 19 are needed for a majority.
This means that the council has fallen into no overall control; something that has not happened since 2003.
The council also has an election in May 2022, when a third of the seats will be contested.
Speaking after the by-election, Ms Wells said: "I think the message is we're not going away and there's more of the same compassionate, dedicated, environmentally focused, energised residents, who are fed up with the concrete nature of our town.
"Change has come today in the form of me, but I'm only one person.
"May is coming up and, were we to replicate any of these results across any of the other 13 wards across Worthing, then that is another historic moment to look forward to."
Ms Wells says that 'conduct in public office has got to change'.
She also said she looks forward to improving the lives of Worthing's 'hard working families and young people' as well as working to alleviate the climate emergency.

ABC Picks Up Supermarket Sweep Revival
Leslie Jones will host the revival of the classic 90s game show.
Get ready to run wild in the aisles again. ABC has announced it is bringing back the classic game show Supermarket Sweep hosted and executive produced by actress and comedienne Leslie Jones. Three teams of two will battle it out using their grocery shopping skills and knowledge of merchandise to win big cash prizes. Production on the ten episode order begins this spring.
"I've always dreamed of being on 'Supermarket Sweep,'" said Leslie Jones. "Seriously, I tried out for the show years ago; and after getting turned away, I knew I'd have to take matters into my own hands. Being able to bring the iconic game show back to life on ABC is my ultimate redemption story!"
Supermarket Sweep originally ran from 1965 to 1967 on ABC. It was revived in 1990 for Lifetime, which you're probably more familiar with. This version ran until 1995 and then from 2000 to 2003.

Bubbling Under: KAPTN, Said the Whale, Lauren Aquilina, Forest Swords
Who's on the cusp of Billboard chart success.
Radio Loves KAPTN
Los Angeles-based rapper KAPTN is attracting listeners, and viewers, with his single "Ricky Ricardo" (Island Def Jam). At the rhythmic format, the song rises by 22% in plays, according to Nielsen BDS. Its clip has been viewed more than 400,000 times on YouTube since its June 21 posting. While the song is only loosely based on "I Love Lucy," KAPTN pays homage to the iconic sitcom at its start: "Hey Lucy, I'm home/Where you been? Oh, I know/You been conga dancing? Well, me too/Now you got some 'splaining to do."
Whale Of A Hit
Smokey Robinson Sets New Solo Album 'Gasms'
Vancouver-based rock band Said the Whale is making inroads south of the Canadian border, as "I Love You" debuts at No. 38 on Alternative. It's the first U.S. chart hit for the Juno Award-winning act, which has notched a handful of entries on the Canada Rock airplay tally since 2009. The five-member Hidden Pony/Caroline group will release its fourth full-length album, "Hawaii," on Sept. 17.
Aquilina Leaps
British singer/songwriter Lauren Aquilina, 18, draws her first chart ink, as her self-released EP, "Sinners," bows on Heatseekers Albums at No. 5 with 2,000 copies sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The set follows her first EP, "Fools," released last fall. Despite her young age, Aquilina is no musical newbie, having begun writing songs before her 10th birthday. She describes her sound as "reverby magical piano stuff."
Swords Cut Through
The moniker of English electronic producer Matthew Barnes, Forest Swords returns to making music for the first time since 2010 EP "Dagger Paths" with new single "The Weight of Gold" (Tri Angle). The orchestral cut caught the attention of indie tastemaker Pitchfork, whose exposure has helped the track accrue more than 110,000 SoundCloud plays in less than two weeks. Swords enters Uncharted at No. 34, with the single's parent album, "Engravings," due Aug. 26.

Vision Financial Group, Inc. (VFG) is the realization of the "vision" that Fred Summers created. So, our story begins with Fred.
Fred's late brother, Larry Summers (also a successful equipment leasing entrepreneur in his own right), used to describe Fred as "the most enthusiastic, optimistic and positive person that I've ever met." Most people who've spent any time with Fred would agree with Larry's assessment. They'd also agree that Fred's work ethic and moxie are second to none.
Fred was born in 1947 in the hills of eastern Tennessee in a small town called Oakdale. Larry Summers ("Slick"), Fred's father, worked long hours on the railroad. Robbie Lee Summers, his mother, cared for the five children and worked various jobs outside the home as was necessary to help support the family.
Soon after high school graduation in 1965, Fred followed his eldest brother Larry to Richmond, VA where Fred took a job as a Consumer Loan Officer with American Finance.
Part one of his loan officer training was collecting debts. Amongst other things, he learned that chasing bad consumer loans wasn't very much fun and was also potentially hazardous to one's health. (Back in those days it wasn't uncommon to be met with the wrong end of a gun when trying to collect a legitimate debt.) He survived his training, learned to value the importance of smart credit decisions in the process, and became a successful loan officer.
Fred married Babs, his high school sweetheart, in 1966. The couple's next stops included stints with General Electric Consumer Finance in Indianapolis, IN; Cincinnati, OH; Columbus, OH and then back to greater Cincinnati, OH. During this time, he worked his way up from Branch Manager to District Manager and was eventually running the whole state of OH. He could only move up with GE.
From GE Fred went to Banc Boston Leasing (while still domiciled in Cincinnati, OH). In 1988, Fred started getting recruited hard by Joy Finance, the new finance arm of Joy Mining, at the urging of one of Fred's customers (who was now affiliated with Joy). This customer recognized through previous dealings that Fred would bring tremendous value to Joy's new financing group. Fred accepted the position and Fred & Babs agreed to transfer the family up to Pittsburgh, PA.
Fred and Kim helped grow the Joy Finance portfolio to over $80MM in the span of less than a year. Unfortunately, the company's then leader and Fred didn't see eye to eye on a key issue. Fred left the firm in 1989 and Kim Smith followed. From Joy Finance, Fred & Kim accepted positions with Capital Associates International, a lessor which was based in Lakewood, CO.
As what has proven to be customary throughout Fred's career, he was a star performer with CAI. Everything was going great up until 1990, when it became apparent that CAI had made some strategic business mistakes. Their Achilles heel proved to be their inability to accurately predict high technology future residual values. Since the portfolio was over concentrated with large computer systems, the firm started hemorrhaging.
CAI began laying off much of the sales team in effort to cut costs. Due to Fred's "star performer" status, he was retained with promises of a positive turn-around, more commission, etc. CAI couldn't stop the bleeding and before-too-long they owed Fred over $34,000 in unpaid expense reimbursement and past due commissions.
Fred learned that a CAI bankruptcy filing was imminent. He realized that decisive and quick action was required if he hoped to "turn lemons into lemonade." He got on the phone with CAI's attorney and quickly negotiated a settlement which consisted of partial cash payment from CAI, rent reduction to support him taking over the firm's downtown Pittsburgh office, and an ownership transfer of all the office equipment to Fred's soon-to-be-launched firm.
Fred learned a long time ago that people are a company's greatest asset. VFG has built a tremendous team which we are very proud of. Today VFG employs 23 people. Many have over 15 years with the company. We hold our team in high regard and we are grateful for the wide variety of experiences and skills each member brings to the table.
Like most "families," the VFG family has a lot of different individual personalities and perspectives in our firm. What we have in common, though, is a desire to serve and a willingness to work hard. Our varied backgrounds and experience have prepared and positioned us extremely well to both understand and to meet the varying needs of our diverse customer base.
We thank you, for taking the time to learn more about our company and we enthusiastically invite you to contact us to discuss how we may be of service.

Nicole Knapp was born in Palm Springs, California on May 10th, 1990. She lived in California until the age of 16, when her family relocated to Oklahoma, where she currently resides. Nicole loved books from a very young age, and has been an avid reader all her life. She began to realize how much she enjoyed writing in high school, where she took every chance she could to write essays. At 24, she started freelance writing, which she continued for two years before deciding it was time to write something she was passionate about. Her first book, The Missing Piece, was released in August 2017. She enjoys reading, and writing, Young Adult Romance and Fiction, but plans to step out of the YA genre in the future. Knapp is currently working on multiple projects.
Check out author's other books? Yes! She has a Peter Pan retelling coming out soon that I am SO excited for!
Notes and Opinions: This was a very cute love story. The idea of two people being made for each other and having a way to prove it was sweet. It also made me appreciate not having that because there is no experiments and test relationships. You either know you are meant to be or you aren't. I loved the adventure and the idea of free travel for the adventure. I think if I were in that situation I would travel as much as possible before finding my soulmate. This book really puts the idea of soulmates in love stories in perspective. It was a fun and cute read! I truly enjoyed it.
Go Into This One Knowing: This is a teenager love story. It has some adult content in it but not much.

Mc Connor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov : Where MMA Misses the Heart of Traditional Martial Arts.
I know of the criticisms that MMA fighters have with traditional martial arts. They think they are often ineffective and silly. That too often is a valid argument but there are those who train to fight in the traditional arts and do it well. One of the comments I hear is that there is no art in martial arts; it's not art, it's fighting. No, fighting is fighting and martial arts are martial arts. When you just train to fight you ignore things like culture and respect that are essential to martial arts. Respect for the teacher means a familial respect, he's your parent in the art, you treat him and the other students with respect as family. It doesn't mean you can't beat him but just beating someone is not the only theme in a traditional school; developing a relationship with the world is. My teacher, Sifu Mark Foon, once said to me, "It is sad that at the end of a man's life he can only say he learned to kill but never to heal. What worth is he?"
I have been around people that live, eat and breathe MMA/martial arts and develop no other skills in life. If your school only emphasizes fighting then that is the only skill you have. How long will that serve you in life? How does that teach you how to get along in a relationship or at work? When your body starts to fail with age what have you left to live for? It's like a model who thinks her youth and good looks are going to last forever. When the inevitable changes of time come they have nothing left to fall back on. If you've been taught to develop your mind, body and overall awareness you begin to mature with age rather than to just fail with age.
The McGregor/Nurmagomedov fight to me epitomizes this stark contrast between just fighting and an art. Disclaimer: I'm a mick by ethnicity, I speak some Gaelic and I play Irish instruments. I should, by all appearances, support McGregor but I don't. He does not display honor and respect in or out of the ring. Nurmagomedov does. I know trash talking is a huge part of MMA and boxing but it thoroughly disgusts me that the arts have become so vulgar and vile. Of course what else should I expect from them but it's way over the top. When does McGregor turn it off in real life, when does he treat the world around him with respect? I don't know much about his personal life but there are so many fighters from different areas who are often abusive and mean spirited at home. I was working an MMA event and the fighters were leaving the building. There was an area roped off for the crew for pizza after their 15 hour day. Some of the fighters removed the rope and started taking the pizzas. I walked up and told them to stop, it was not for them. One shouted, "You gonna tell an MMA fighter what to do?" The others all started laughing. I answered, "Yes, get away from the tables." One guy picked up a piece of pizza , shoved in his mouth and went nose to nose with me, slobbering pizza. I did not back down. The promoter saw it and grabbed the guys. I was told that the head of the league later suspended these guys. Amazingly rude behavior entitled because they're tough? So they are the same as a gang, MS13, Hells Angels? Might makes right? What defines what is and is not acceptable behavior? What motivation do these guys have to develop anything other than rude behavior? I think the ideals of civility and respect are lost in MMA for the most part. It's just fighting with no other character development.
I saw a documentary of WW2 pilots recently. One of the pilots told a story about being in a dog fight with a Japanese Zero pilot. He damaged the Zero badly and it was falling. The Japanese pilot looked over at him and saluted him as he headed towards his death in the ocean. He respected his opponent even though they were truly mortal enemies. One of the greatest displays in respect over the years in sports is the Army/Navy game. Two opposing armed forces going for the big one. I used to watch it with my dad who has a WW2 Navy lieutenant and frogman. It was a great time between he and his friends, mostly army. The teams respected each other in success and failure. Where is that today?
I have been in martial arts for well over four decades. In my job I have worked with professional fighters for close to thirty years ranging from boxing on Friday Night Fights with Teddy Atlas to the World Series of Fighting with Bas Rutten, HBO Boxing, Showtime Boxing and others. I've trained in kung fu , karate and aikido along with some boxing. Guys like Teddy and Bas are a delight to be around and kind to everyone around them. Years ago Teddy said to me, " the difference between boxing and MMA is that the boxers respect each other and the MMA guys hate each other." I don't think that is entirely true but I get his point. I think the younger fighters coming up are very one dimensional. I worked on one of the very early UFC fights. There was a fight between a Japanese man and an American. The Japanese guy lost but at the end of the fight bowed to his opponent and said, " thank you for showing me my weaknesses, I will work on them". I was totally impressed by this act. It's been a long time since I've seen anything like it.

"Nobody Should Say Their Last Goodbye to Anyone on an iPad Ever Again" - Laurence Fox
Laurence Fox is to fight Sadiq Khan in the upcoming Mayor of London elections, vowing to "offer a voice to those who are being dominated into silence"
Actor-turned-activist Laurence Fox, who shot to national prominence last year when he challenged an audience member on Question Time for describing him as a "white privileged male", has announced his candidacy for the London Mayoralty.
Fox, who is the leader of the 'anti-Woke' Reclaim Party, has revealed to The Telegraph that he is entering the race for City Hall as part of the fight against "extreme political correctness". Mr Fox will also fight on a platform for lifting lockdown as soon as he is elected in May rather than waiting until June, when all restrictions are due to be removed.
The Actor hopes that his push to end lockdown sooner will see him win votes from Mr Khan, who launched his re-election campaign last week and has been noticeably keener to go further with lockdowns than the Conservative government. The survey, conducted by Savanta ComRes among 1,000 people in London in late February for the Reclaim Party, found that 25% of Londoners wanted lockdown lifted by the end of this month. Some 58% wanted it gone by the end of May. Among Londoners aged 18-34, the latter figure rises to 63%.
The Telegraph reports that the poll reveals shifting public concern over the economic impact of lockdown in London. More people than not are concerned about losing their job (43% concerned to 35% unconcerned) and 75% say that they expect small businesses in their area to close permanently as a result of the pandemic.
Fox then told the Telegraph: "I am standing for London mayor. With almost all older and vulnerable people having got their jab, I want the lockdown lifted straight away. The Government has said vaccines are working, hospitalisations and deaths are tumbling, but we are still being told we won't be able to resume normal life until mid-summer at the earliest."
"Both the main parties are competing in this dreary race to be the last to set the country free. Both Tory and Labour have got this badly wrong. I want London – and indeed the rest of the country – to be allowed to get back to work and play immediately – not by late June."
With Nigel Farage announcing that he is stepping away from politics, Fox could well be the right man at the right time.
