Share All sharing options for: MLS Awards Expansion to St. Louis
Jeff Curry-USA TODAY Sports
St. Louis was officially announced an the 28th Major League Soccer team by Commissioner Don Garber today. MLS awarded the expansion team to the city of St. Louis and they are expected to start play in 2022.
"It is with great pride that we welcome St. Louis to Major League Soccer," said Commissioner Garber via press release. "St. Louis is a city with a rich soccer tradition, and it is a market we have considered since the league's inception. Our league becomes stronger today with the addition of the city's deeply dedicated soccer fans, and the committed and innovative local ownership group led by Carolyn Kindle Betz, the Taylor family, and Jim Kavanaugh."
The St. Louis club is making history with their ownership. Enterprise Holdings Foundation president Carolyn Kindle Betz and six other female members of the Taylor family make it the first female majority-owned club in MLS history. The ownership group is rounded out by two executives with a long history in the St. Louis business and philanthropic community: Enterprise Holdings executive chairman Andy Taylor, and World Wide Technology CEO Jim Kavanaugh.
"Our ownership group has come a long way since we first announced our bid last October at Mathews-Dickey Boys and Girls Club, and it's an incredible feeling to now be able to say, St. Louis is home to the first official majority female-led ownership group in MLS," said Carolyn Kindle Betz via press release. "Our MLS team and stadium will only add to St. Louis' renaissance currently underway and will provide us with a great opportunity to bring together many different segments of the community, uniting people in their love for the game."
A new downtown soccer stadium will be located in the Downtown West district of St. Louis with plans close to finalization. The stadium will be a central elements of a major development project in the Downtown West district, which will include mixed-use retail, restaurants and gathering spaces open year-round to the public.
St. Louis and Sporting Kansas City should quickly become rivals.
WE DID IT, #STL! Today @MLS announced that #StLouis will join the league as team #28 and begin play in 2022. It took a team to get the team, and we thank all of you who supported this effort. Sign up at https://t.co/hYuRTTwtfn for more news on our team. #MLS4THELOU pic.twitter.com/KO6JYBurnr

Andrew Duncan Green (nacido el 30 de julio de 1962) es un piloto de caza británico de la RAF, titular del récord mundial de velocidad en tierra.

Carrera en la RAF
Nacido en Atherstone, Warwickshire, Green se educó en la Bydales Comprehensive School de Marske-by-the-Sea, Cleveland, y en la St Olave's Grammar School en Orpington, Kent, y luego obtuvo una beca de la RAF para el Worcester College, donde se graduó en 1983 con honores de primera clase en matemáticas.

Ese mismo año, Green fue ascendido a Oficial Piloto de la RAF. Habilitado como piloto de caza en los aviones McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II y Panavia Tornado ADV, en 2003 fue ascendido a comandante de ala. Más tarde se convirtió en oficial comandante del Ala de Operaciones del Wittering Airfield, cerca de Peterborough. Green también es el capitán del equipo RAF en la Cresta Run, donde utilizó un toboggan francés experimental.

Registros de velocidad

Supersónico
Green es el actual titular del récord mundial de velocidad en tierra, y la primera persona en romper el barrera del sonido en tierra. El 25 de septiembre de 1997, batió el récord anterior con el  Thrust SSC en el desierto de Black Rock, Estados Unidos, alcanzando una velocidad de . El 15 de octubre de 1997, 50 años y 1 día después de que Chuck Yeager rompiera la barrera del sonido en vuelo aéreo, Green alcanzó , el primer registro de velocidad supersónica en tierra (Mach 1.016). Su indicativo radiofónico fue "Dead Dog". Cuando el vehículo cruzó la velocidad del sonido, creó una explosión sónica.

Green ahora trabaja nuevamente con Richard Noble en su nuevo intento de récord para batir la marca de  con el Bloodhound SSC.

Coche de carretera
Su siguiente intento de velocidad en tierra iba a ser con un MG F especialmente modificado, denominado MG EX255. Sin embargo, debido al tiempo requerido para las modificaciones, el proyecto no llegó a término, y este intento nunca llegó a realizarse.

Diésel
Desde entonces, el desafío más reciente de Green fue la conducción del automóvil JCB Dieselmax, intentando batir el récord de velocidad en tierra para un vehículo diésel superando las . Habiendo probado el vehículo en su propia base de la RAF, Wittering, el 22 de agosto de 2006, rompió el récord anterior de  (establecido en agosto de 1973), tras alcanzar una velocidad de  durante dos carreras en el salar de Bonneville, Utah. Veinticuatro horas después, Green rompió su propio récord, alcanzando una velocidad de  el 23 de agosto de 2006.

Honores y premios
Fue nombrado Oficial de la Orden del Imperio Británico en 1998. Fue galardonado con el Trofeo Segrave por el Royal Automobile Club en 1997. En 2006 recibió el Trofeo John Cobb del British Racing Drivers' Club por "un éxito de carácter sobresaliente" y un título honorario de la Universidad de Staffordshire en julio de 2008.

Experiencia en las carreras
El 14 de junio de 2009, Green ganó su primera prueba en carreras de circuito, mientras recaudaba dinero para el proyecto Bloodhound SSC, participando en la 4ª Ronda del Trofeo Elise en Snetterton.

Activision shared the sales results of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It turns out that FromSoftware delivered not only an artistic, but also a commercial hit.
Three weeks after the release of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, the latest action game from FromSoftware, the game's publisher (Activision), shared its first sales results. As it turns out, developers with such positions as Bloodborne or the Dark Souls series in their portfolio delivered a great commercial hit. In "less than ten days" this game found over two million buyers.
This is not the end of the achievements of the title, because on the day of its release it was the most popular game on Twitch. In addition, on the release weekend, viewers spent six hundred and thirty-one million minutes watching Sekiro, and more than a billion minutes in the first week. Moreover, it is worth noting that Activision was very pleased with the cooperation with FromSoftware, assuring that it was a real honor. Therefore, who knows, maybe we will see a continuation in the future? Time will tell whether, since the cooperation between the two companies has been fruitful so far, they will be willing to continue it.
Great sales of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is proof of the excellent form of FromSoftware.
Let's remind that Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is an action game, which was released on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on March 22, 2019, accompanied by the admiration of reviewers. Only four days after the release of the game it was clear that at least its PC version was a real hit, because it regularly took fourth place in the list of the most popular positions on Steam, even ahead of such hits as Resident Evil 2 or Devil May Cry 5.

Nicolas Sarkozy's presidential campaign will begin on Wednesday, close ally foreign minister Alain Juppe said, confirming that the French leader will seek re-election in an April-May ballot.
The centre-right President, who badly lags Socialist candidate Francois Hollande in opinion polls, was widely expected to seek a second term in a presidential contest that takes place in two rounds on April 22 and May 6.
"There is no mystery. The president has chosen the right moment to declare himself," Juppe told France Info radio. "Now the real campaign starts. We will have the real debate and see the weaknesses of the Socialist candidate."

Graduating from school is a big accomplishment. You've studied hard and are now ready to put your skills to work. It's only logical that you want to make a great first impression. Let your new employer know you're ready to tackle whatever projects necessary and that you're coming to the table with suggestions too.
Don't be afraid to voice your opinion and let the team know what you have to offer. Remember all you learned in school and let it springboard you into a confident state of mind. Understand that they may not use all of your proposals, but it's worth a shot. See marketing ideas to share with your new employer.
Not all companies are online, believe it or not. Never underestimate the power of the Internet. Buy ads and promote your business and products where your customers are searching. Use online advertising to target specific people and ensure they run into your ad as they're scouring the Internet. People don't like ads, but online advertising is usually subtle and part of their experience online. Be creative and come up with catchy language to draw them in.
With graduation imminent and four hard years of studying coming to an end, it's time to leave behind the comforting familiarity of university for the cold, harsh world of work.
It's a big step which, whilst boasting some pretty serious positives (who else can't wait for their first fulltime paycheque to bolster their bank account?), also comes with a lot of drawbacks.
Mostly, getting used to a new and strange environment.
Yup, your first day of your first real job after university is on the horizon, and you're already feeling nervous.
It's an understandably nerve-wracking experience, but the good news is, we've all been there.
Which means we've got plenty of advice to help make your first day a success.
Here are four tips that'll let you walk into your new office feeling confident and ready to take on the world. Check them out.
Before your first day, take some time to Google your new employer and their industry. Doing this background research should help to put your mind at rest and increase your familiarity with your future job.
You can even email your new boss and ask if there's anything you can prepare, read or start working on.
At worst, they'll tell you not to worry, but hopefully they'll send you some useful resources to get cracking with.
Long gone are the golden days when companies would hover around universities recruiting fresh-faced graduates for high-paying schemes. Now most of us have to look pretty far afield to get a decent starting salary, or indeed any salary at all.
And being forced to travel just to get a 15-minute meeting with a potential employer makes the whole interview process 100 times more stressful than it normally is.
You're not just trying to prepare some answers and get your CV in tip-top shape, you're also dealing with crashing on a friend's sofa or surviving a cheap hotel room in a strange city you're completely lost in.
So that you can concentrate on that all-important prep work, we're sharing a few top tips that'll help make your next out-of-town interview go much smoother. Take a look.
Before you agree to an interview, calculate travel expenses so that you can determine whether or not it's worth it. It might seem awkward, but ask if they offer compensation for travel costs. Lots of bigger companies will, although they may not always advertise it.
If they don't provide financial help, then check Skyscanner for deals on any flights you need and Airbnb for cheaper accommodation, to save as much money as possible.
Applying for your first job once you graduate can be challenging. You might have a great degree but so will many other applicants. You may even be coming up against people with much more work experience in the field. With more people than ever applying for every graduate job, you need to find ways to make sure your resume stands out and makes it to the top of the pile.
When trying to make your resume stand out, finding out what makes you stand out and what could make your resume different from all the others is a great start. Studying in a different country as a foreign student gives you a unique experience. It shows you're not afraid of a challenge and that you can easily get to know new people and fit into new situations. Studying online for an online masters in accounting is another unique learning experience. Going out of your way to study online shows you have a huge level of commitment to your chosen subject.
Keep it clean. Make sure the paper is crisp, white, and of high-quality. Prospective employers will get a first impression from their first glance at your resume. It's important.

Michael Burnett: It's time to take UKIP seriously - and attack their core idea that Britain should leave the EU
Michael Burnett was a candidate for the European Parliament in the West Midlands in 2009.
When David Cameron came to Burton-on-Trent a few days before polling day in the 2009 European elections, he asked me, as a candidate, what I thought he should do over the remaining part of the campaign.
I used my "elevator moment" to suggest that he should attack and keep attacking UKIP, who had come from fourth place in April 2009 polls to be, as they had in 2004, our most serious opponent. In doing so I reflected what a number of others in the candidate and wider campaign team felt i.e. that - rightly or wrongly - the Party had failed to take the UKIP threat sufficiently seriously.
While not all Liberal Democrat votes will drift to Labour and not all UKIP voters are former Conservatives, UKIP - splitting the right of centre vote - are nevertheless the main threat to Project Blueprint for a Conservative majority. So with UKIP presenting as third in a number of recent polls – in one case on 16% - we can't afford to repeat that mistake in the 2014 European elections or the 2015 General Election.

Michael Burnett: Three options for Cameron at the EU summit
Michael Burnett was a candidate for the European Parliament in the West Midlands in 2009
David Cameron faces a difficult week in Brussels with several interlocking issues:
The need for the Eurozone to create the structures for economic and monetary union to function effectively and the implications of this for the Single Market.
The future of the proposed banking union Discussions on the margins about the resolution of the EU Budget for 2014-2020;
And, possibly, the financial transactions tax.
These issues are not only complex in themselves, but also have obvious overlaps - i.e: the banking union is a key component of economic and monetary union; the financial transactions tax is regarded as a possible source of "own resources" for the EU budget, thus making it less dependent on contributions from Member States, and the closer integration of the Eurozone may lead to block voting on Single Market issues, which could mean that non-Eurozone members could be institutionally outvoted.
Even if they were not, the significance of the issues at stake means that there will probably be a "grand bargain" - the usual modus operandi of EU compromises. The issues at stake should not be underestimated. Make no mistake, what is proposed for the Eurozone - creating a state within a state - will fundamentally change the character of the EU more than anything since the UK's accession in 1973.

Michael Burnett: I have seen the Big Society at work...but it just happens to be in Germany and the Netherlands
Is it really possible to engage citizens in caring about their communities? Or have we gone too far down the route to believing that "It's the state's job to create healthy communities"? In what circumstances can the ideas of civic engagement which underlie the Big Society be most fruitfully applied?
Two recent visits to continental Europe to different countries and different types of community have given me greater clarity about how and where the Big Society might flourish. Firstly, I visited Borne, a small municipality of around 21,500 inhabitants in the eastern Netherlands, which is relatively socially and ethnically homogeneous.
The municipality of Borne has had a history of citizen consultation on its future developments, but wanted to deepen this approach by creating a widely shared vision for the future of the community through engagement of civil society and citizens in the decision making process for the future of the community and as a starting point for joint action. What was it that impressed me about Borne's initiative, apart from the obvious enthusiasm of the people who I met?
The willingness of local politicians and municipal officials to take the risk of offering choice to citizens within a clearly articulated framework. Bourne's politicians were taking the risk that, if citizens make direct choices, their roles may become less relevant.
The genuine nature of the choice of different strategic visions offered by the municipality, rather than consultation on a single strategy. This was done via a civic referendum, in which the opportunity to vote was also extended to anyone aged 15 or over, and in which on-line voting was permitted, thus engaging the next generation of voters in a process which will impact on their lives
The unity of purpose amongst all stakeholders (municipal officials, more than 20 partner organisations and politicians from different parties) to use this process to shape the future of Borne The clear understanding of the need to translate the vision of "Mijn Borne 2030" into an implementation plan in order to meet the expectations of citizens created by this project and there are processes for doing so.
The understanding of the need to start this process of implementation by reflecting it in the budgetary decisions of the municipality for 2012 and in the internal organisation of the municipality.

Michael Burnett: Ensuring a Scottish independence referendum is defeated will mean English politicians staying out of the fray
The SNP's victory in last month's Scottish Parliament election was a political earthquake whose aftershocks will persist.
Most of the attention so far has been on its implications for the United Kingdom: will it lead to Scottish independence and is a vote for the SNP equivalent to a vote for independence? Should England, Wales and Northern Ireland have a voice in any decision, perhaps by means of a parallel consultative referendum? Others have commented on whether or not Scotland could be economically viable, the implications for Scottish public finances and what would have been the implications of the banking crisis for an independent Scotland.
I'm sure, however, that the decision will not be purely economic. Czech colleagues have spoken in recent years about the peaceful separation of the Czech Republic and Slovakia in the 1990s, which showed that even two relatively poor countries could separate amicably. Their answer was in essence that Slovakia wanted to go and relations are happier on both sides now that they have. They couldn't really identify any loss to them in financial, economic or cultural terms. But Czechs who were married to Slovaks faced dilemmas about where to live after the separation - the languages are very close but would the job opportunities be equal?
And there are some things in life whose value is not appreciated until you don't have them. Will a Union of 300 years prove to mean more than one which lasted 75 years, much of which was spent under Nazi and then communist oppression?

Michael Burnett: How Labour mismanaged Public Private Partnerships - and how we should reform them
PPP was the Labour government's name for the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) introduced by the Major government. Concessions such as toll roads have been around for many years but the massive expansion of PPP since 1997 has been driven by a different type of PPP, so-called "public service PPP", i.e. where the payment for the service comes not from end users but direct from public budgets.
Can public service PPP make sense? In concept, they do. They are based on the sound idea that government buys services through an integrated contract for both asset construction and operations which is bid for by a competitive process and paid for by a series of fixed equal instalments over the life of the service contract. The equal instalments cover the capital costs and operating costs so in effect the cost of construction is spread over the life of the service contract. It can be thought of as a form of leasing. The private partner is usually paid nothing until the service is being provided ie nothing during the construction phase. The advantages of this approach - the "no service, no payment principle" - are that:
Because the private partner is paid nothing during the construction phase it has proved to be a strong driver to on-time construction;
Because the private partner is remunerated for a fixed sum over the life of the service contract it acts as an incentive to "fit for purpose" construction: i.e. it helps to avoid on the one hand over-engineering in design and construction and on the other hand poor quality design and construction which could lead in both cases to expensive operating costs.

EDITORIAL: Fix dangerous railroad tracks
Register Editorial Staff
Published 12:00 am EDT, Monday, August 9, 2010
By now, everyone who rides a bicycle in New Haven must know that crossing the Tomlinson Bridge may be life threatening, thanks to the Providence and Worcester Railroad Co.'s angled rail tracks at the bridge's east end.
Yet, injured cyclists keep showing up in hospital emergency rooms.
Dr. Connor Telles, the orthopedic surgery chief resident at Yale-New Haven Hospital, has warned state and railroad officials in a letter that the hazardous condition is "a lawsuit waiting to happen." Telles, who rides his bike across the bridge to his hospital job, has treated many of the bicyclists injured trying to cross the rails.
Jacob Hacker, one of the injured, said "in the rain, the tracks were as slick as ice, and because they are not perpendicular to traffic, my front wheel slid out immediately when I hit them, even though I was traveling at a low rate of speed."
Complaints about the tracks began soon after they were rebuilt in 2003 to serve the harbor's docks on Waterfront Street. As the city's bicyclists increased in number and became well organized, the complaints and injuries have increased.
So far, the railroad's only response has been to post danger signs telling bicyclists to walk across the tracks. With only one lane eastbound and the bridge's sidewalk closed because of construction, bicyclists have to stop in the middle of traffic to walk across the tracks. That is almost as dangerous as riding across the tracks.
Although the state, city, railroad and bikers agree there is a problem, the solution remains elusive. Even were the sidewalk open, state law forbids its use by bike riders. The state Department of Transportation says there is not enough room for a bike path. Bicyclists want the tracks filled in, but the line is needed to connect the harbor with the railroad network. The DOT agrees construction has made the problem worse, and says there is little room to reconfigure the tracks.
The Providence and Worcester has rejected one suggestion that deserves further consideration. Flange fillers could smooth the gaps in the road caused by the tracks. The railroad has rejected them because they would freeze and thaw in the winter and possibly cause a derailment. However, if the tracks are inspected regularly and trains move slowly on the dangerous curve onto Waterfront Street, the intersection would be safer with the flange fillers.
Their installation may be only an interim solution, but it is better than no solution at all to a notorious road hazard.

Jordan Brandes
After far too long a hiatus The Tick is back in action with a brand new season coming to Amazon Prime.
Though the superhero has been a mainstay since the 90's and is currently on his second live action reboot that has not stopped the friendly, big, blue hero from taking the main stage the 2017 San Diego Comic Con.
Attendees that visited the show's SDCC booth got a grand tour of life in the Tick universe and a great introduction to the show's main characters. Those that have followed the evolution of the character know that this version is drastically different from the more off-the-wall comedy of the FOX series with Patrick Wharburton.
This time around Peter Serafinowicz takes the lead bursting into Arthur's (Griffin Newman) and urging him to become the superhero he was always destined to be. Show creators say they have a grand five-year vision for the show that, if the first episode (which is currently available on Amazon Prime), is any indication is going to be spectacular.
Make sure to visit The Tick booth for some great swag and a fresh new look at the big blue bug.

The role of technology in job destruction and creation has been a source of heated debate since the industrial revolution. Whether it is farm machinery, telecommunications or transport, rapid changes in technology have transformed economic development – on the one hand displacing outmoded ways of working and yet on the other spawning entirely new industries and opportunities.
However, in recent times attention has been focussed on the "jobless recovery" with technology being seen as the culprit. So does the relentless pursuit of automation and process innovation herald lean times for the finance function or a new dawn of opportunity and prosperity?
Here are 5 reasons why I am optimistic about the future of the modern finance function – but there is a 'sting in the tail'.
Take the progression from mainframe computer, mini-computer, personal computer, laptop, tablet and smartphone. Each successive wave of computing has been more voluminous and pervasive (roughly ten times the volume of hardware shifted in a tenth of the time) – creating jobs in its wake.
Today's innovations will create new jobs as modern finance functions seek to leverage process innovation for competitive advantage.
We can all think of entirely new industries that have been created off the back of new technology, for example, social media, website comparison sites, satellite navigation and computer dating. But the world of finance has also been transformed, both in the accounting profession (forensic accounting, litigation support, business modelling & systems consultancy) and in commerce. Opportunities are arising as modern finance functions find themselves drawn more deeply into analytics & data science, financial systems, e-filing, strategy and performance reporting.
The coalescence of huge advances in raw computing power coupled with modern business technologies (social, mobile, internet etc) has created the conditions for unprecedented complexity in business processes. In effect, the more we can do, the more we do. Consumers have never had such choice! (Even regulators have jumped on the bandwagon, clamouring for more data and electronic filing).
And as more businesses become 'data-driven' this fuels ever more demand for finance professionals who can unravel complexity and deliver business insight.
Technology is often seen as the villain of the piece – driving people out of jobs but a more holistic economic view suggests the opposite is actually the case because technology creates prosperity. Take for example ERP systems which have drastically reduced average transaction costs since they were first introduced in the nineties. Lower business costs and greater productivity has lowered the cost of doing business (even small businesses can take advantage of sophisticated low cost applications in the cloud) and this translates into less expensive products and services, which, in turn, drives consumer demand, wealth creation and growth.
If there is one common pattern over the last three decades it is that in all industries, technology displaces mundane and manually intensive work first. Comptrollers with large-handled adding machines have disappeared, computer tapes and fax machines have all gone, along with the people who used them. And the many manually intensive steps in core financial processes have been displaced by work-flow, integration tools, unified applications, automated controls monitoring and, more recently, embedded social tools.
All of this has shifted the emphasis away from basic accounting to more value-added activities around better business partnering and smarter decision-making. In this new era, finance professionals who are on top of their game can expect more rewarding and fulfilling roles.
………and the sting in the tail?
Put bluntly - experience is no longer as valuable as new skills. I remember when cobol, the main programming language of business applications was displaced by C++. Computer professionals with decades of experience were cast aside in favour of younger professionals who had new skills but relatively scant experience. The writing is on the wall for finance professionals as well. Those finance professionals that do not re-skill, become tech-savvy and adapt to a new age of business partnering, analytics and process innovation will get left behind. So seize the day!

"We've been playing the big jackpots for years,"? said Mike Barth, the group member who purchased the lucky ticket on Wednesday, March 23rd at Coulsons News Center at 470 Broadway in Albany. Barth said the group's fortune was sealed by the "fickle finger of fate."?
"I was at the counter. It was my turn to buy a ticket when I reached down to grab a Snickers® bar from the candy display and someone reached over me, actually cut in front of me to buy a ticket,"? recalled Barth. "I thought about saying something but decided to just let it slide. I bought the next ticket"?the winning ticket."?
Lottery millionaire John Hilton said the $319,000,000 pot was the kind of jackpot that made it worth throwing in the usual $2 per person. "We usually start playing when the jackpot hits $100,000,000,"? he said, adding, "We're pretty buttoned up. We keep a checklist of who's in and who's out for any particular drawing. You've got to."??Gabrielle Mahar was the first of the group's members to discover the seven had the winning combination worth $319,000,000. "I was up late reading and wanted to catch the numbers but missed them. I was dialing up the Lottery website on my phone when the numbers scrolled across the screen.? I was dumbfounded."?? She hesitated before calling her current (soon to be former) supervisor Kristin Baldwin.? "It was late. What if it wasn't real? I didn't know what to do,"? Mahar said.
The phone chain reached Leon Peck early the next morning.? "We're IT people. We get calls all the time about malfunctioning servers so I figured that was why my phone was ringing so early in the morning,"? Peck, the usual office prankster, thought the call might be pay back for one too many wise cracks made in the office. "But, I didn't think anyone would be calling that early on a Saturday just to play a joke on me."? Tracy Sussman said she shared Peck's initial reaction to receiving an early Saturday morning call from a co-worker. "I got on the phone and said, "What's wrong now?'"?
Although Mega Millions winners have 60 days from the date they claim their prize to decide if they want to receive the annuity payment or the cash value of that annuity, the close-knit group was sure upon arriving at the Lottery's offices that they would share the lump sum amount of $202,797,203. "We met as a group with a financial advisor the day before. We were all in agreement about the lump sum,"? Baldwin said. Each group member will receive a one-time payment totaling $28,971,029 before state and federal tax withholdings. The net value of each check will total $19,129,571.
The group's immediate plans for the money run the gamut. For Mahar, it means a new dishwasher. For Barth it's a set of new tires and a college education for his son "not based on where he can go, but where he wants to go,"? said the father of a graduating high school senior. John Hilton said he's taking the celebrity approach to his new fortune, "I just want to fly somewhere in first class,"? he said.? For John Kutey, the choice is simple, "My wife and I are going to every Disney Park there is!"?? The others have yet to make up their minds.
New York's sales for Mega Millions roll up that started on February 4th and culminated with the March 25th drawing totaled over $95,000,000.? Sales during that time period generated $33,300,000 in profit for education.
The New York Lottery continues to be North America's largest and most profitable Lottery, earning more than $39.3 billion in education support statewide since its founding over 40 years ago.? The Lottery contributed nearly $2.67 billion in fiscal year 2009-2010 to help support education in New York State, which was over 12 percent of total state education funding to local school districts.?
Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula used to distribute other state aid to education.? It takes into account both a school district's size and its income level; larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares of Lottery school funding.

Palazzo delle Federconsorzi, conhecido também como Palazzo Curtatone, é um palácio modernista que ocupa todo um quarteirão delimitado pela Piazza dell'Indipendenza, a Via Curtatone, onde fica a entrada principal, a Via Gaeta e a Via Goito, no rione Castro Pretório.

História
Toda a região da Piazza dell'Indipendenza era rodeada por pequenas villas na época da captura de Roma (1870) e todas foram confiscadas ou compradas para a construção de novas obras para absorver o grande influxo de habitantes na nova capital do Reino da Itália. Entre as muitas demolições, o perfil da praça se manteve razoavelmente inalterado e onde ficava o Villino Servadio foi construída a nova sede da Federconsorzi. As obras começaram em 1952 e terminaram quatro anos depois, sob o comando dos engenheiros Aldo Della Rocca e Enrico Lenti e dos arquitetos Ignazio Guidi e Giulio Sterbini. Os quatro já haviam trabalhado juntos na reconstrução da Abadia de Monte Cassino.

Depois que a Federconsorzi se mudou, o edifício foi adquirido por um fundo imobiliário que o cedeu para uma outra sociedade em aluguel com o objetivo de transformar o antigo palácio em um hotel de luxo. Contudo, em outubro de 2013, depois de anos de abandono, o palácio foi invadido por imigrantes e refugiados, especialmente do Chifre da África, que conseguiram colocar em fuga os vigias. Em agosto de 2017, uma nova invasão conseguiu ocupar o edifício inteiro, uma situação que ainda permanece no final de 2018.

Descrição
O edifício, de planta irregular, conta com nove andares e mais dois no subsolo, incluindo garagem e um auditório, num total de mais de  m2 de área construída. O primeiro piso foi construído com um volume que se projeta para fora em relação aos demais para criar um pórtico sustentado por colunas hexagonais irregulares revestidas de granito. O grande friso que decora o balcão de frente para a Piazza dell'Indipendenza foi realizado pelo escultor Pericle Fazzini. A obra, que se chama "I Campi", é de bronze, com 52 metros de comprimento e 1,15 de altura. Também de Fazzini, mas no interior, está um alto relevo de madeira intitulado "Il Solco", um campo arado entre duas fileiras de oliveiras.

Maha Yahya discusses the complexities and calculations in a Syrian refugee return
Maha Yahya is the director of the Carnegie Middle East Center. Currently, she is leading a major project on a Syrian refugee return from Lebanon, and has long been following the topic very closely.
Last week, she published an article at Diwan, titled "The Perils of Side Arrangements," the latest in a number of articles she has written on the refugees in recent months. These include "Blaming the Victims," from July 31, a photo essay on the Za'tari refugee camp in Jordan, from May 8, and "Broken Peaces," from March 31. Diwan sat with Yahya in late August to discuss the broader prospects for Syrian refugees and their return home in light of fresh political developments in Syria and Lebanon.


Leading up to the 2015 Paris Climate Conference, Mr. Bo Ekman, Chairman Emeritus and Founder of Tällberg Foundation invited Mr. Lin Tseng Jung, Founder of Social Entrepreneurs with Integrity Association and Mr. Christopher Chuang, Executive Chairman of Beijing International Exchange Association Sustainable Development Committee and international delegates for a dialogue session to discuss and highlight issues that are critical to the future development of the global societies.
During the dialogue, each of the groups presented a video documentary of their collective views and vision on sustainable development and raised an idea to initiate the development of an International Eco-Village in Asia, China, and Europe simultaneously. At the end of the meeting, the groups reached mutual consensus to support cross-border and cross-sectorial collaborations in the future.

Calboy On The Games That Are Getting Him Through Quarantine
by: Shirley Ju July 20, 2020
Calboy is a rapper by trade, but a gamer at heart. When it comes to the intersection of gaming and music, the Chicago native fits in almost too perfectly. He was even featured in Grand Theft Auto V on Pop Smoke's "100K On A Coupe," possibly the only game which he admits he's not the best at.
The 21-year-old exploded onto the rap scene with his breakout single "Envy Me," with the official music video currently hailing over 184 million views and counting. He soon followed it up with his EP, gaining the attention of Meek Mill and his Dreamchasers imprint — one of his most fire collaborations to date includes "Chariot" featuring Meek, Lil Durk, and Young Thug.
Growing up on the South Side of Chicago comes with its own battles, and Calboy uses music as his outlet for the pain he's endured. Currently signed to Polo Grounds Music and RCA Records, each release is injected with emotion and feeling, as he raps and sings about real-life experiences and changing his life for the better. Fast forward to 2020, he released his Long Live the Kings EP spearheaded by lead single "Barbarian" featuring Lil Tjay.
But in his downtime, Calboy plays video games. In fact, he has an entire room in his house in Atlanta dedicated to his favorite games, which includes a whole Mortal Kombat arcade machine, a Nintendo GameCube, and endless throwbacks he played as a kid.
Recently, we caught up with Calboy via Zoom while he was hanging out at the crib with his nieces. Beyond chopping it up about games, he gave us a preview of the full-blown petting zoo he has down there, which includes an iguana, a Savannah monitor, an exotic bully puppy, and two baby bearded dragons.
What was the first video game you ever played?
The first video game I've ever played was Mortal Kombat, the Sega Genesis. It ended up being my favorite game still to this day. I liked everything, from the storylines to the characters to the fighting. I'm not really good at sports games, I'm not good at 2K. I'm actually good at Mortal Kombat, that's another reason why I like it.
Who are you playing with?
My brothers, my cousins, my homies. I actually have a gaming room in my house, I just moved in. I came outside to check on my pet iguana, he chills on the patio since it's hot. [Laughs] I have a petting zoo in my house, for real. I have a Savannah monitor that'll grow to be eight feet, he's a baby though. I have an exotic bully here in the cage, that's my baby. She got the blue eyes, about seven weeks. I have two big dogs downstairs, and two baby bearded dragons. There's two in [a cage], I don't know where the other one is.
What do you feel when you play video games?
I feel good, this is my little work station where I play the games. These are my favorites: I got Mortal Kombat 1, 2, 3. I have a GameCube, which not too many people have anymore. This is pretty old. I have Rocket Power and Madagascar, I still play them today. I have three TVs set up.
How much of the day are you gaming?
Whenever I'm free for real. I'm not free a lot, I've only been free during the quarantine. Before, I'd play whenever I could. Or I take my Switch with me and play that.
Do you play in the studio?
Yes, the Switch is portable so I can play it anywhere. I like to play on the private jet, dressing rooms. I have the same games on my Switch that I have on my Xbox, so it doesn't even matter. The Mortal Kombat and all that.
Does gaming inspire your music at all?
Fasho, I actually do a lot of gaming references. That's probably why people don't be knowing what I'm talking about. I actually pitched one game to Mortal Kombat for "12," they hit me back too. They rock with the song. It has a bunch of MK references in it, like characters and all that.
That'd be so full circle!
That'll be the second game I'm on. They have me and Pop Smoke on the GTA. When they do the heist on GTA, me and Pop Smoke play the "100K On A Coupe."
What does it mean to have a record with Pop on a video game?
It was lit. I felt good about me and Pop's relationship for real, and the music we made. His energy was crazy. I didn't know him for a long time but for the little time that I did know him, he was cool. His energy was real lit up, that's why I rocked with him. It feels good to have a song with him on there.
How do your music and gaming intersect?
Man, I have to be enjoying some music to actually play the game good. Music will actually put you in the right mood to do good in the game, whatever game you're playing. You have to have good music to go with your game, it has to go hand in hand. If you're playing some garbage music, you're damn near losing on the game.
I had to find my babies, I forgot they're in the basement. This is my American bully and my Frenchie. My bully's big, but he's only 8 months. I love dogs, I got a bunch of dogs.
Do you like Twitch?
My brothers have been trying to put me onto Twitch. I just started using it but I do like it. My fans get on there and tweak with me while I'm playing the game. Everybody loves to watch Call of Duty and I'm not really that good at Call of Duty. I like Tekken and Mortal Kombat.
Are you looking for action or story?
I really like those types of gameplays. The multi-player fighting is the only type of games I really like, unless I play a single player adventure game like Assassin's Creed or Uncharted.
Are you excited for the next GEN of consoles like PlayStation 5?
Yes, I have four Xbox One's and three PlayStation 4's I'll probably get two of each to see how they go. I'm really rooting for the Xbox though because I'm an Xbox fan, I have Microsoft everything.
Why do you get two of each?
Because I live with my brothers and they all have their own personal preferences. I'm going to get one of each for myself, then I'm going to get an Xbox for my brother and a PlayStation for my other brother. Both of them are separated like that.
Is there anything you'd like to see happen in the gaming world?
I'd like to see more cross networking, like the Call of Duty sh*t. I'd like to see a lot more of that on the games where the PC players can play with the Xbox players, who can play with the PlayStation player. I have three TVs across one wall, so all of my brothers have a single console playing the same game with me. It's lit up. They already do it on Call Of Duty, I just want to be able to do it on more games.
You linked with King Von on "Brand New." What did that mean for Chicago?
It's lit up, Chicago's lit up. Von's like family, so that wasn't hard to do. We linked up, showed love and did the video. Von actually came up with the scheme for the video. I'm like "what we gon' do?" He said "man, let's make something quick!" We did our slight acting scene in the beginning, talked our little sh*t.
How was that?
It was fun, we enjoy ourselves. We be chillin'. It meant a lot for Chicago, we're showing and proving. We're the best city in the world, honestly. I say that in the humblest way, there's no food like Chicago food. No rappers like Chicago rappers, nobody will beat your ass like Chicago people will. All that.
Since you're in the A, do you go back to Chicago often?
Yeah, I visit moms and pops. Pull up, ride through the 100's and see my peoples. I'm out of there. I don't stay too long. If I'm there, I stay for about two or three days and I'm back.
How much more did you game during quarantine versus normal?
Man, probably 100 percent more. My gameplay went up 100 percent. [laughs] I haven't really had any time, I just started poppin'. I hopped on two tours. Show after show, the walk through, then I be tired. I don't have a bunch of energy in me so I be shutting down. Ever since I've been at the crib not doing sh*t, I've been playing the game every day now. I'm starting to like new games that I thought I'd hate. I'm in this b*tch playing Mario Bros. That shIt raw as hell though, I'm in that motherf*cker gassing.
What other games did you discover during quarantine?
Mega Man. I be trying to go back. Dr. Mario, it's like Tetris. That sh*t goes crazy. I've played Crash Bandicoot, Super Mario Odyssey. I've been going crazy on the Nintendo for real.
Is it the same when you play on Twitch?
Yeah, it's the same. It's just funny, I read the comments from my fans.
Is there anything we can look forward to?
"Long Live The Kings" deluxe on the way. I shot two videos in one day yesterday. It was 14 hours, some crazy sh*t. We got them done, so new content coming out in about two weeks.
What features do you have on the deluxe?
Of course, Fivio Foreign, King Von, and big bro Gotti came through again. We got some shit. I can't spill all the beans though!

§ 127.755. Required notice of employe rights and duties.
(a) If a list of designated providers is established, the employer shall provide a clearly written notice to an injured employe of the employe's rights and duties under section 306(f.1)(1)(i) of the act (77 P. S. § 531(1)(i)).
(1) The employe has the duty to obtain treatment for work-related injuries and illnesses from one or more of the designated health care providers for 90 days from the date of the first visit to a designated provider.
(2) The employe has the right to have all reasonable medical supplies and treatment related to the injury paid for by the employer as long as treatment is obtained from a designated provider during the 90-day period.
(3) The employe has the right, during this 90-day period, to switch from one health care provider on the list to another provider on the list, and that all the treatment shall be paid for by the employer.
(4) The employe has the right to seek treatment from a referral provider if the employe is referred to him by a designated provider, and the employer shall pay for the treatment rendered by the referral provider.
(5) The employe has the right to seek emergency medical treatment from any provider, but that subsequent nonemergency treatment shall be by a designated provider for the remainder of the 90-day period.
(6) The employee has the right to seek treatment or medical consultation from a nondesignated provider during the 90-day period, but that these services shall be at the employee's expense for the applicable 90 days.
(7) The employee has the right to seek treatment from any health care provider after the 90-day period has ended, and that treatment shall be paid for by the employer, if it is reasonable and necessary.
(8) The employee has the duty to notify the employer of treatment by a nondesignated provider within 5 days of the first visit to that provider.

1984 through Indian Eyes: Part VI — "My People's Heart" by Preeti Kaur
1984 through Indian Eyes:
Literary Accounts of Operation Blue Star and the Anti-Sikh Pogroms
By Lori Way
Part VI – "My People's Heart" by Preeti Kaur
In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of Operation Bluestar in Amritsar, India, in June, 1984, and the anti-Sikh pogroms that took place the following November in New Delhi, Lori Way concludes her six-installment review of works of literature focusing upon these events. Many thanks to Lori for providing to us insights and discussions as we reflect on 1984 and its aftermath 30 years since. You can see her entire series here.
Preeti Kaur, poet and writer.
For the last installment in my series dedicated to 1984, I thought that it would be fitting to take a look at the work of Preeti Kaur, a Sikh poet from California. I first learned about Kaur's work by reading American Turban, and I have had the pleasure of sharing her poetry with my peers at academic conferences for the past two years. Kaur began writing poetry while studying with June Jordan as part of the Poetry for the People program. She has contributed to many literary websites, journals and collections since then, including Meeta Kaur's Her Name is Kaur (see my review here). Those familiar with Sikh history will certainly appreciate Kaur's work, but general audiences will find the raw emotion of her writing to be moving as well. Her poetry has raised awareness about anti-Sikh hate crimes, such as the 2001 murder of Balbir Singh Sodhi and the August 2012 massacre in Oak Creek, Wisconsin.
In her poem, "My People's Heart," Kaur turns her attention to the anti-Sikh pogroms of 1984. Kaur explained in an email that her original poem was inspired not only by what happened in 1984, but also the 2002 mass killings in the Gujarat and the rapes that took place in both attacks: "I wrote the poem in response to the unwritten and the unsayable, particularly sexual violence, and its continued use in communal violence in India. I wrote it as a remembrance poem, to remember the traumas of the dead and those who survived, and as a poem to respond to Hindutva." The first publication of Kaur's poem was in The Sikh Review, but it was later revised to focus on the events in 1984 and can be found on various websites in this form. Here is an excerpt from the poem as it appears on Kaur's website:
each spring
i plant a circle
of marigolds
a golden garland
to honor
for my dead
each bright bud
dipped in saffron nectar
smolders
like the kesri turbans
which crown my people's heads
like an ember
like the city/ the village
like the gurdwara upon gurdwara
of torch and bullet
at the hand
of politician/ policeman/ mob leader
lit up
into a cremation ground (Kaur)
Kaur's warm color references slowly build into a flame that reveals 1984's atrocities, working from a peaceful backyard of marigolds to burning gurdwaras, cities and villages. The garden becomes a cremation ground with turbans ablaze. Like the other authors of 1984's literature examined in this series, Kaur connects Indian authorities – the politician and the policeman – with the mob leaders who have targeted her people.
Knowledge of Sikh culture and traditions is fundamental to much of Kaur's writing, and she attributes the origin of her literary sense to correspondence with her grandmother who lived in the Punjab. She also worked with her father to understand the poetic intricacies of the Guru Granth Sahib: "My father's lessons in trying to impart the pronunciation and recitation of Sikh prayers helped to tune my ear to the ways words can have a musicality of their own. As I grew, he explained the multiple meanings of these words, their layered intentions towards introspection; I became enchanted with metaphors, especially those that permeate Sikh theology" (qtd. in Yalamanchili).
Kaur's poetry also follows in the tradition of other great Indian writers who have challenged the system through their work. Contemporary authors of Indian descent can draw inspiration from a diverse legacy of protest literature. The great Bengali writer Rabindranath Tagore, for example, meant for many of his works to be a call for the "awakening" of India. Here is one of his most famous works from his Gitanjali collection:
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action –
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake. (75)
Tagore's writing earned him the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, the first non-Western author to win this award. He was also knighted in 1915 by the British Crown. Yet in a move that perhaps foreshadowed Khushwant Singh's symbolic protest 65 years later (see my article here), Tagore renounced this title in response to the killing of Sikhs in the 1919 Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in Amritsar.
The works of both Kaur and Tagore exemplify poetry's power as a tool for social justice. Poetry can document traumatic events of the past such as 1984's violence while also revealing the emotional impact of those events upon the people who lived through them. It can also raise awareness and motivate political action. Authors of Indian descent, whether they be in India or in diaspora, are tied to a proud multicultural heritage that preserves the best that its traditions have to offer yet promises a bright future as well.
I hope that the literature discussed in this series has inspired Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike to explore works in creative writing as well as nonfiction that tell the story of 1984. I would also like to thank American Turban for providing a forum for me to share my thoughts about these works over the past six months. It has been a great privilege for me to honor the victims of 1984 in this way, and it is my sincere wish that they are never forgotten.
You can read more of Preeti Kaur's poetry at her website, The World I Stitch. Her most recent published poems can be found at Jaggery: A DesiLit Arts and Literature Journal and in "Afrofuture," which is Issue 4 of Spook Magazine.

Q: Stack Overflow for Teams is now free for up to 50 users, forever Today we're launching our Free plan on Stack Overflow for Teams.
We know that sharing knowledge and async collaboration is critical to companies and teams of all sizes. We also know people need a good sized group and time to see the impact and value of a platform like Stack Overflow for Teams. Our previous 30 day free trial of our Basic tier wasn't long enough. Now, Stack Overflow for Teams has a free tier for up to 50 users, forever.
If you aren't familiar with Stack Overflow for Teams, it combines the best features of the Stack Overflow platform with features tailored for teams and companies who need a private knowledge sharing and collaboration platform such as Articles, Collections and integrations.
With Stack Overflow for Teams being a flexible platform, we've seen customers use it for a wide variety of use cases:

*

*A platform to help onboard new employees

*A self-serve help center to reduce support tickets

*Collaboration and documentation to drive innersource initiatives

*Breaking down silos and driving org wide transformation like cloud migration efforts

*A direct customer support platform

*Enable people who are working towards a common goal, whether a startup or a side project, to develop a collective knowledge base

What's changing?
Below are the changes you can expect to see specific to Teams as well as across Stack Overflow and the network:
Teams
New Free Tier

*

*No longer a free trial but free forever

*Up to 50 users

*ChatOps integration to Slack & Microsoft Teams

Basic Tier

*

*Adding SSO with SAML

*Up to 250 users

Logged Out Homepage

*

*When you visit the stackoverflow.com homepage, you see a list of questions if you are logged in and a traditional homepage if you are logged out.

*We received a lot of feedback from the meta community when the homepage was last redesigned and we took this into consideration with this latest iteration.
-Our goal is to make all visitors aware of both our free Q&A sites and our Teams paid product and the value associated with each.

*Read about our approach to our new logged out homepage.

Stack Overflow and Stack Exchange Left Navigation update

*

*If you belong to private Teams, Free or Basic, your Teams will be listed in the left navigation on all Stack Exchange sites. Currently, they appear only when you are visiting Stack Overflow.

*If you don't belong to any teams, there will be a prompt to start a team, which can be minimized.

Creating a Team
Create a free Team by following this link, and invite your colleagues or a group of people you're looking to collaborate with.

A: bug
When I visit the Create free Team page, I see one of my old display names automatically filled in the form instead of my current one (or nothing at all). Why is that information still being used?
Demo:

Can anyone else who has changed their display name at some point reproduce this?
 I already posted this on Meta Stack Overflow. I'm moving it here since it's the announcement/feedback post.

A: Moving my feedback from Discord to here:
From the homepage redesign announcement:

Something we spend a lot of time thinking about from our brand perspective is how Stack Exchange and Stack Overflow relate to each other - we wanted to be clear that although you're on stackoverflow.com, there is a whole network of sites you can explore from here. We're highlighting a few of the related technical focused Stack Exchanges which might be of interest to a visitor just discovering Stack Overflow.

This is a very welcome change. For quite a while (years), there's been a focus by the company on SO the site mostly to the exclusion of the rest of the network - to the point where the company was renamed (back to) Stack Overflow after having been named Stack Exchange. This is probably the most encouraging sign that the company is starting to care about the rest of the network again that I've seen since... ads were enabled across the network (which, needless to say, wasn't exactly the attention the network wanted). If the company is putting resources into directing people to SE sites, that's a good sign.

If you belong to private Teams, Free or Basic, your Teams will be listed in the left navigation on most Stack Exchange sites. Currently, they appear only when you are visiting Stack Overflow.

I expect that this will lead to a drastic increase in activity on the Stack Mods Team. I know a lot of mods don't check it often because they don't really use SO, and so don't see notifications for new activity and simply forget that it exists. Personally, I'll also notice if there's activity on the Charcoal or SOBotics Teams - since I don't use Stack Overflow the site, I don't usually notice new activity on Teams at the moment.
As for the major announcement here - the fact that Teams is now permanently free for up to 50 users - that's also a very good sign for me, personally. It means that the company is stable enough financially to offer this, and historically it's when the company has been struggling financially that the community has had its major troubles. For instance, when we lost Pops in the '17 layoffs, the financial worries impacted stuff around the '19 dumpster fires, the "laying off" of Shog and Robert in January '20... and, of course, that the company didn't have the resources to invest in stuff like swag or... Community Managers. So if the company is looking financially stable enough to offer this, that's good news for everyone involved.

A: Great news! It's perhaps an idea to make this featured network-wide, because users are noticing the UI change but are still confused:

*

*Why do we now have Stack Overflow for Teams in sites that are not Stack Overflow? (Arqade / Gaming)

*A potential sign that Astronomy is about to graduate?

A: Can we get some clarity around whether the 50 user limit is total/historical users or only activated users? Consider a team of around 30 members that knows it won't be growing beyond 50; simple member churn over the years could push the total number of users over 50 even though there are never more than 30 or so actually using the team stack at one time.

A:
your Teams will be listed in the left navigation on most Stack Exchange sites

Can we please know which sites, exactly?

A: UPDATE
The Salesforce icon now has the correct tooltip and alt text:

I'll mark this as status-completed when the "less distractions" is fixed (credit to mjr for the suggestion.)

This looks great!
I've found some bugs on the new logged-out page.  First:

I would change that to "Fewer distractions" as it sounds and looks better.  Second:

That tooltip is incorrect - it actually leads to Salesforce SE.

A: As someone wanting to build a group of

people you can count with if the info you're sharing can't be make public in SE (be that for development, cities, etc) and are ok with being share in light of the terms of use and privacy policy of each team.

Some days ago contacted the support to clarify how many members could have on my teams without extra cost. That number was 10.
On my end, knowing it was only 10 lead to

*

*a shift of policies around "who can be part of that Team?"

*think about membership fees (similarly to what Mike Cohn does in his Agile Mentors Community)

*find another place where QAs could be tracked
which eventually slowed down the process given all other responsibilities I have. Thing is, for point 3. I'm sure there isn't any product out there which is as good as Stack for dealing with QAs and all needed actions related with it (duplicates, tags, upvotes, ...). Then, for point 2. (which would eventually come to that if the community grows for more than 50) I wouldn't feel good about charging for something that doesn't necessarily bring value (testing with 10 would've probably been ok too but this then linked with problem 1. of the policies).
Anyways, so I see this modification as an investment from your side in us! (which is very much appreciated)

A: I'm teaching a programming course this term so I decided to try setting up a teams group for my class, which has fewer than 50 students. I'm pleased overall with the results. Specifically it has the following advantages:

*

*It provides a safe place where I can train my students how to ask good questions on Stack Overflow.

*We're not bothering SO moderators and users with any of our potentially poor questions or answers.

*We're protected from the negative environment on SO (downvotes, close votes, mean comments, etc.)

*It's a centralized repository of Q&A that applies just to us.

There were a few UX pain points, though:

*

*It took me a long time to find how to manage users after adding them the first time. (That was probably because I have the side bar minimized by default.)

*Markdown is disabled by default and code formatting in the non-markdown editor was giving my students and me a ton of problems.

*It difficult to switch to my teams account and see the list of questions directly. I'd like the most recent questions to show immediately when I choose my teams account from the toolbar.

A: bug left-nav scrolling
Extra scroll is visible on the left hand side bar. In MSE it is looking good, but a few sites have the extra scroll issue, such as Stack Overflow, Super User, Server Fault, Salesforce, and Code Golf.
A few screenshots for reference:

A: Thank you! The new team features look amazing.
A quick support / feature-request question:
I see this in your post:

If you belong to private Teams, Free or Basic, your Teams will be listed in the left navigation on most Stack Exchange sites. Currently, they appear only when you are visiting Stack Overflow.

I am not part of any type of teams or Stack Overflow, yet I still see this on Writing SE:

your Teams will be listed in the left navigation on most Stack Exchange sites

Is there a way to turn off the little sidebar thing for navigation in settings for those of us who won't need it? (It just makes a bit more noise in my sidebar, which is unnecessary as I am not using or planning to use Teams.)
Could this be implemented if not already?
Anyway, thanks for the hard work!

A: I have two questions:

*

*What is the license of the content inside a (free) Team site?

*Can you export the answers?

A: If I have 51 members, will I pay $6 or $306? That's not clear from the pricing page.

For Fleetwood railway station 1966–1970, see Wyre Dock railway station.
Station closed; Wyre Dock renamed "Fleetwood"
There have been three locations for Fleetwood railway station in Fleetwood, Lancashire, England. The first, from 1840 to 1883, was in Dock Street, opposite Church Street. The second, from 1883 to 1966, was in Queen's Terrace. From 1966 to 1970, the station previously known as Wyre Dock railway station was renamed "Fleetwood".
In 2009, the Association of Train Operating Companies proposed a new station at Fleetwood as part of a plan to expand the national rail network.
The Preston and Wyre Joint Railway from Preston to Fleetwood was originally opened on 15 July 1840, with a terminus in Dock Street, opposite Church Street. (In the original plan for the new town, the station was to be at the end of London Street, directly from the Mount, but the plan was not followed.) The single-track line ran over an embankment and a timber trestle bridge in straight line northwards across the marshy Wyre estuary, with the station at the far end of the bridge. Within six years the trestle became unsafe and the railway was re-routed slightly inland, and the track doubled. Beyond the passenger station was a goods station at the south end of Queen's Terrace.
Between 1841 and 1848, Fleetwood was a part of the "West Coast Main Line" equivalent of its time. The fastest route from London to Glasgow was by train to Fleetwood, and thence by packet boat to Ardrossan. After 1848, the entire journey could be made by rail.
In July 1883, a replacement station was built opposite the north end of Queen's Terrace, which served as Fleetwood's main railway terminus from then until 18 April 1966, when it was closed due to the Beeching Cuts.
The railway approached the station from the south. Platforms 1 and 4 ran the full length of the station, the northern half of each platform being under a glass-roofed train shed. Between the platforms were the booking office, waiting rooms, left luggage office and so on. Platforms 2 and 3 were shorter bay platforms which did not enter the train shed. Platform 5 was the boat train platform, the longest of all, which ran outside the train shed along its eastern side. At the north end was a glass-roofed concourse, running from the Queen's Terrace entrance to the jetty for steamers on the side of the Wyre. On the north side of the concourse were refreshment rooms, separately for first- and second-class passengers. There were further goods sheds and sidings to east of the station.
The station was demolished after closure and a restaurant built on part of the site. In 1973, the remainder was developed into a container port facility, operating ro-ro service to Northern Ireland, which continued until January 2011, when Stena Line removed the Fleetwood to Larne route.
When the Queen's Terrace station closed, passenger service was relocated to the existing Wyre Dock railway station, which was situated at the southern end of Dock Street, about a half-mile away, and which was then renamed "Fleetwood" station.
