Dolphins blow best chance at beating Bills with butchered 4th-down sequence, wasted timeouts
Jason Owens
The Miami Dolphins had a great chance to stun the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in the wild-card round despite playing with third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson.
But they blew their best shot thanks to poor game management and wasted timeouts that came back to bite them late in the fourth quarter.
With the Bills leading, 34-31, the Dolphins faced fourth-and-a-short-1 near midfield with the clock ticking under three minutes. The decision was clear. Go for it.
How to go for it apparently wasn't so clear. The Dolphins were slow to substitute and communicate the play call. When the play clock hit 4 seconds, they were still in their huddle. They didn't get the play off on time.
They also didn't have any timeouts remaining. The result of the sequence was a delay-of-game penalty. Instead of fourth-and-1 with their season on the line, they faced fourth-and-6, an obvious passing situation. Thompson faced immediate pressure on the ensuing play and threw an incomplete pass intended for tight end Mike Gesicki.
The Bills took over on downs and ran out the clock to hold on for a 34-31 win and advance to next week's AFC divisional round, where it'll host another postseason game. The Dolphins, meanwhile, saw their season end on a missed opportunity. They can look to second-half clock management as a primary culprit. Miami wasted all three of its second-half timeouts on offense.
Blown timeouts prove costly
The Dolphins burned their third and final timeout earlier on their final drive for the same reason. They let the play clock wind down on a third-and-10 and used the timeout to avoid a delay of game penalty.
Their first timeout of the second half: Same thing. With the play clock ticking toward zero, the Dolphins called a timeout on a second-down play.
Their second timeout: You guessed it. With the play clock winding down on third-and-10 early in the fourth quarter, the Dolphins were slow to leave the huddle. They called timeout with 1 second remaining on the play clock to avoid a delay-of-game penalty.

McDaniel: Dolphins thought they had a first down
That's three timeouts the Dolphins would have possessed on their final possession if not for game mismanagement. They also got their signals crossed on that pivotal fourth-down call. After the game, McDaniel told reporters that he thought Miami secured a first down on the previous play and was told so "from upstairs." They didn't have a fourth-down play ready to go.
It adds up to a series of frustrating mistakes from a team with a rookie head coach and a rookie quarterback who otherwise exceeded expectations in a game they were expected to lose by a wide margin. That they kept things close will be of little solace considering the unforced errors.

Birth Data
Prince Fielder - a Baseball Player and Athlete - born on Wednesday May 9th 1984, in Ontario, California, USA,.
Prince Fielder is the philanthropist and humanitarian who is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which he has great compassion and idealism. He has a utopian personality, and will spend her life trying to realize some aspect of her utopian dream, sacrificing money, time, and energy for a better world.
His broad outlook on life allows Prince Fielder to see the big picture, and to often shy away from dealing with the minute details. That is why Prince Fielder attracts people who can fit into her larger plans and take over the areas he considers uninteresting. Consequently, Fielder evaluates people on the basis of what they can do for the larger cause. He is a true egalitarian, rarely prejudiced and would not accept social biases of people.
Interior decorating, landscape art or photography can be the sort of fields in which Fielder's imagination and creativity can harmoniously arrange the beauty already potential in the environment. However, due to his strong social consciousness - he can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, environmentalist or in any other vocation that carries a clear social impact.
Prince Fielder has a romantic personality, but his love is more impersonal as he tends to be focused on her dreams instead. When not in harmony with his true nature, Fielder can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn. He can also become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame for his troubles on others or the world. He is often disappointed by the realities of life, her own shortcomings, and those of others, and is relentlessly driven to improve upon it all - striving for greater accomplishments. This is Fielder's life-lesson - to accept the natural limitations of the world and its habitants in order to make it possible for him to enjoy life more fully.
Prince Fielder must learn to let go of material possessions and relationships because holding on too tightly to anything causes him pain. The more he gives, the bigger is his reward, and the most successful and satisfying road for him is sharing and sacrificing for the larger goal, without expecting anything in return. Prince Fielder's greatest chance at success is to tie his personal fortunes to an endeavor that makes the world a better place for others. It may very well turn into a highly successful and lucrative enterprise, providing amply for Fielder and her family. More...
More flavors to Fielder's personality
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Prince Fielder is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his plan until the goals are achieved.
He bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Fielder cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.

We invite you to create your own free personality profile, in private and for your eyes only!.
July 17th 2019 is a dynamic and even hectic for Prince Fielder that may bring some change in his career.
Generally speaking, today is a day of unexpected events that may even include travel.
Fielder will be able to spend some of his restless energy in social events, but with his restlessness - he better watch for signs of lacking self-discipline.
You and Fielder

Art of Acting - Nimrita
Article by: Emily Chen
"Anything you think you might want to do, or not want to do, it can't hurt to try." - quotes Nimrita Bhogal, one of Collingwood's rising talents.
As an active member of Collingwood's drama community, Nim is a talented young actress who has taken part in every fall play since the beginning of her time at the school.
Nim moved to Canada at the age of 4, she was born in Basingstoke, England. In her early years of childhood, Nim had lived in Surrey but later moved to West Vancouver where she attended Ridgeview Elementary School. From the start of Grade 8, Nim came to Collingwood, where she now has been ever since.
For as long as Nim can remember, acting has always been a part of her life. Nim's first memory of being in a play comes from elementary school. She fondly speaks of the mini-plays she acted in as a kid and being part of the drama program near Ambleside.
When Grade 3 came along Nim continued to pursue her hobby of acting. She distinctively remembers a play she starred in, where she was one of two Cinderellas. Because there were too many students cast in the play, her teachers made it so that there had to be two princesses and two prince charming. Nim laughs while recalling this memory. It was a lot of fun, chaotic, and a really funny story, but to put it briefly there had to be two princes kneeling down proposing at the same time. In grade 7 nim performed in a series of greek plays.
Fun is a powerful world that Nim takes to heart. Despite performing in front of a large crowd might be exhilarating and at the same time nerve-wracking, she believes that at the root of each performance you should never stop having fun. Nim's first experience in Collingwood's drama community is when she played a reporter and a series of background characters in The Visit. As one of only two grade 8 students who participated that year, Nim says she has the chance to be a part of one of the most caring and supportive communities. In the beginning, while Nim may have not known anyone at that time, older peers made friends with her and made her feel included. She remembers it just being so much fun going to rehearsals, with people who genuinely love doing what they do best… perform. Coming blind into an unfamiliar field was quite terrifying, not knowing the people you meet. Among a group of peers, Nim shares that Nickolai Osborn, who was grade 12 lead at the time, gave her a comment she still recalls to this day. Nickolai told her that he too started in grade 8.
Nim would describe her first play as an almost surreal experience. Her happiest memory resides in the full experience: going to rehearsals, getting ready in preparation before each show, working with everyone, giving it her all, and memories of getting off stage in the dark where everyone's began whispering.
Outside of drama, Nim is also an athlete. She is an active volleyball and soccer player. She played in club volleyball and is a member of Collingwood's volleyball team. Nim's favorite subjects in school include sciences. In grade 8, Nim was also part of a group of choir members who traveled to Anaheim in California to perform. She attends choir for grades 8 & 9 and believes Mr. Buchan is one of her favorite teachers here at Collingwood. Nim's artistic abilities have also led her to take an Art 9 course, she jokes:
"Never choose a giant canvas to work with if you have limited time…" said Nimrita Bhogal, It took her 24 hours and more to color the entire thing.
Grade 9 fall play showcased The crucible. Nim played a leading role in the play as Tituba, one of the characters blamed for witchcraft rituals that make her feared by the people around her.
The crucible nim says is one of the most exciting plays she has ever done. She took the role of role of a slave for the first time. Nim shares that it was a very challenging experience for her as an actress. Nim's part required her to have an ongoing accent, and it was always vital for her to have just the right amount of emotions each scene was looking for, which often was being scared for her life. Although nim found her role challenging, she was able to give one of the most memorable performances of that year; beautifully showcasing the growth, skill, and talent that nim has developed over the years…but most significantly is that the audience could clearly see the love she has for acting, every single time Nim is on stage.
It was hard to practice and get it right every time, but Nim recalls it being really fun when she got to experience enacting some stunts. She says that it was fun to wear a suit while Morgon Christopher, her fellow cast member who is an alumnus now, threw her across the stage. For anyone who remembers the specific scene in the play, Nim had the opportunity to perform some action scenes, when she was confronted dealing with the devil. Nim gave it her all in every performance, she screamed and cried on stage to prove innocent, which was her favorite scene of all time; the stakes were high or she would have been sent to death. Nim also had to sing live in front of an audience at beginning of the play, this gave her a chance to perform out of her comfort zone.
Nim has starred in every fall play since the crucible, which included: Almost Maine, and The Dining Room which was showcased recently this school year.
Nim has come to believe that she doesn't want to spend her entire life on drama, but she is determined that acting will always be there every step of the way as she decides what she wants to pursue later in life. Nim knows she will continue to find opportunities to perform in plays as an adult, she won't do this for money or as a career, but purely for the fun of it.
Nim, over her many years as a principal member of Collingwood's drama community, has learned that the art of acting is not set on a specific moment, but it's she believes that the gratification comes in doing the plays, being with the people who enjoy doing what they love, and in reality when that is succeeded the wonderful result of seeing students putting in the hard work that they have --- just ignites on stage.
Nim's advice for her fellow students, who have any lingering thoughts of wanting to try out for the play:
"JUST go for it, give it you're all when at the audition, and you can decide later… I encourage everyone to do it if they have any inclination, because it's not just a performance, it's an experience." -Nimrita Bhogal


Women make better business decisions than men: Companies with female directors perform better and cut risk of bankruptcy says the study published International Journal of Business.
"Now I assure you being a woman as you can see that the safest place to be on this one is on the fence.
Women make better business decisions than men: Companies with female directors perform better and cut risk of bankruptcy says the study published by International Journal of Business.
The study goes on to say that there should be more women in the boardroom, and not just in the name of equality. They make better bosses than men because they are fairer and have more scruples. It means companies with women on the board are more likely to make decisions that benefit everyone, from investors to staff, rather than just the top brass Remember these are not my words I have a link to the study below my article for you to take a look for yourself. The study goes on to say that women also tend to consult others in the decision-making process, leading to a more cooperative feeling in the firm. The study, which surveyed 600 board members, concluded that female-influenced companies were more successful than male-dominated ones.
The study, published 2008 in the International Journal of Business Governance and Ethics, also found that male directors prefer to make decisions using rules, regulations and traditional ways of doing business. Female directors, on the other hand, are less constrained by these parameters and more prepared to use initiative than male colleagues.
In addition, female directors – who, globally, make up around nine per cent of corporate boards – are significantly more inclined to make decisions by taking the interests of multiple stakeholders into account in order to arrive at a fair decision.
They also tend to use cooperation, collaboration and consensus-building more often – and more effectively – in order to make sound decisions.
The study was conducted by Chris Bart, professor of strategic management at the DeGroote School of Business at Canada's McMaster University, and Gregory McQueen, a McMaster graduate and senior executive associate dean at A.T. Still University's School of Osteopathic Medicine in Arizona.
Bart said: 'We've known for some time that companies that have more women on their boards have better results.
McQueen said: 'Women seem to be predisposed to be more inquisitive and to see more possible solutions. 'At the board level where directors are compelled to act in the best interest of the corporation while taking the viewpoints of multiple stakeholders into account, this quality makes them more effective corporate directors.' Arguments for gender equality, quotas and legislation have done little to increase female representation in the boardroom, despite evidence showing that their presence has been linked to better organizational performance, higher rates of return, more effective risk management and even lower rates of bankruptcy.

The last days of Oscar Wilde - and the ghosts that haunted them - are vividly evoked in Rupert Everett's directorial debut. Wilde's body is ailing and heavy, his mind is spinning, and he survives by falling back on the flamboyant irony and brilliant wit that defined him. As the film travels through his final act and journeys through England, France, and Italy, desire and loyalty face off, the transience of lust is laid bare, and the true riches of love are revealed. Watch the trailer.

Donald Trump, Mexico snipe over supposed side deal – Washington Times
An emboldened President Trump said Monday that his tariff threat forced Mexico to strike a border deal, and he vowed that China will be the next target brought to heel by weaponization of access to the U.S. economy.
Both Mexico and the U.S. say they have perhaps 45 days to prove their deal is working or else they will revisit matters and look for more options to stop the 5,000 people a day coming from Central America through Mexico.
Mr. Trump also hinted at a secret side deal as part of the negotiations and said he will consider reviving his tariff threat unless it happens.
SEE ALSO: Pompeo: 45 days to see if U.S.-Mexico border deal is working
"We have an agreement on something that they will announce very soon. It's all done. They have to get approval, and they will get approval. If they don't get approval, we'll have to think in terms of tariffs or whatever," Mr. Trump said.
Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard dismissed talk of a side deal, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declined to settle matters. He said only that there were "a number of commitments made" and both the U.S. and Mexico are now on the clock to prove they can shut off the flow of people.
"Perhaps a month, perhaps 45 days, we'll have a good sense of whether we're able to achieve these outcomes in the way we're hoping that we can," he said.
What both sides do agree on is that Mexico will deploy thousands of national police to its southern border region to help enforce its own immigration laws.
Mexico also agreed to take back more Central American asylum seekers who cross their territory en route to the U.S. That is an expansion of the Migration Protection Protocols, a program that the U.S. announced last year that has been tried on a small basis but will now be in effect borderwide.
Mr. Pompeo said the number of people affected will rise from "a couple of hundred" a day to "several thousand per day."
The deal continued to roil Washington.
While some Democrats feared Mr. Trump did too well, clamping down on asylum seekers, others said he accepted an agreement that didn't secure new concessions from Mexico.
"Nothing more than warmed-up leftovers," said Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, New York Democrat.
The stock markets, relieved that the president's threat of a 5% levy on all Mexican imports was sidelined for now, rose Monday, even as business leaders complained about the damage they said Mr. Trump did by using tariffs as a threat to win cooperation.
Tough luck, Mr. Trump said. "It was all done because of the tariffs and because of the relationship we have with Mexico," the president told reporters at the White House.
Mr. Trump has embraced his persona as "tariff man," slapping duties on friends and adversaries alike over the past two years. Targets included China and members of the European Union.
Last month, he lifted tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from Canada and Mexico as a precursor to trying to pass his new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. The 5% tariff threat erected a new hurdle, though the administration says it expects that agreement is still on track.
Critics say imposing tariffs is a relic of protectionist 19th century policies that disrupt markets and supply chains while imposing higher costs on U.S. consumers down the line.
"The administration's efforts to use the threat of tariffs as a weapon to coerce other countries to change their policies is like a game of economic Russian roulette with U.S. taxpayers as the target," said Brian Riley, director of the National Taxpayers Union Free Trade Initiative.
Geoffrey T. Gertz, a fellow on global economy and development for the Brookings Institution, said Mr. Trump was risking foreign trading partners' goodwill by using access to the U.S. economy as a cudgel.
"Over time," Mr. Gertz said, "other countries are going to seek to limit their dependence on the American economy, which could harm American economic and diplomatic interests."
He also sided with those who said Mr. Trump didn't win much substance with the deal.
"Though this leaves us more or less back where we started, these episodes do still have real costs for the U.S.," he said. "For American businesses, they introduce significant uncertainty: it is hard to make investment decisions in the face of continual threats of new tariffs, even if many of them may not ultimately be enacted."
Mr. Trump bristled at those naysayers and said he would prove them wrong.
"If we didn't have tariffs, we wouldn't have made a deal with Mexico," Mr. Trump told CNBC.
He said the same tactic will work on others — such as the 25% tariff on more than $200 billion worth of Chinese imports he declared in May, after trade talks that appeared to be nearing the finish line collapsed.
The White House says it may be forced to slap tariffs on an additional $300 billion worth of Chinese goods if he can't make progress with Chinese President Xi Jinping during the Group of 20 summit in Japan this month.
"The China deal is going to work out. You know why? Because of tariffs," Mr. Trump said in a phone interview with CNBC.

Robi's approach to design is skillfully refreshing. Her intuitive sense is exceptional – from choosing the correct color palette to her fine eye for typography. She is the complete package. A wonderful person and a great designer all rolled into one person.


You could spend months (and a lot of francs) traveling around France chasing regional gastronomic specialties—or you could stay comfortably put in Paris, where first-rate examples of virtually every card-carrying French entrée, plat, and dessert are never more than a Métro ride away. Soul-warming coq au vin to make a Burgundian weep. Lusty bouillabaisse prepared with regulation fish, comme à Marseilles. And then there's the catalogue of iconic dishes, like onion soup and profiteroles, native to the capital itself. (Amazingly, an improbable restaurant, Le Vieux Bistro, offers so many sweetly sung standards, it would take you a week to work through them all.) One-stop eating of the French classics?"Messieurs-dames, your table is waiting …"
SOUPE À L'OIGNON Open around the clock every day of the year in the old Les Halles tradition, Au Pied de Cochon was going to get the blue ribbon—until I tried the onion soup at La Poule au Pot. Beneatha blistered dome of melted Emmentaler, slices of country bread bob in an intense broth bolstered with white wine. Au Pied de Cochon's version is lighter on the onions, heavier on the cheese, and a great deal at $5 (La Poule au Pot's is $8.50).
ESCARGOTS Le Vieux Bistro 's escargots de Bourgogne—snails with butter, garlic, and parsley—get it right where hundreds go wrong. They're served in a ceramic tray out of their shells, so you don't have to battle with pincers. The garlic dosage is restrained, not reckless, and rather than tasting like bicycle tires (and being as easy to chew), the snails are tender and flavorful. With its distressed mirrors and zinc bar, Le Vieux Bistro is what the white-hot Manhattan eatery Pastis longs to emulate. It's a miracle that the real thing is located in the heavily touristed shadow of Notre Dame.
FROG'S LEGS Fresh ones are rarer than hen's teeth, but Le Vieux Bistro insists that its jumbos have never seen the inside of a freezer. The juicy cuisses are fried in butter and garlic and showered with parsley. Also recommended at: Le Père Claude.
FRISÉE AUX LARDONS With frisée ringing in at up to $9 a pound in the United States, you could almost justify a trip to Paris just to eat Le Vieux Bistro's rendition of this timeless salad. The lardons, or bacon pieces, exhale a salty, smoky fragrance, and their juices coat every leaf. Also recommended at: Chez George.
HORS D'OEUVRES VARIÉS A hole-in-the-wall, weekdays-only lunch spot, Chez La Vieille is legendary for its all-you-can-eat assortment of terrines, stuffed vegetables, and salads (lentil, apple-and-endive). And that's just the appetizer. Note: Thursday is the one night the restaurant serves dinner.
STEAK FRITES La Mascotte woos carnivores with a more-than-half-pound Normandy rib steak, one of the tastiest pieces of beef I've had in recent memory, paired with bone marrow and the unimpeachably crisp house fries of nearly shoestring thinness. Reassuringly, the bistro always seems full of French regulars.
ROAST CHICKEN AND MASHED POTATOES Owned by Jacques Cagna, better known as the chef of the Michelin one-starred restaurant in Paris that carries his name, La Rôtisserie d'Armaillé serves succulent, free-range chicken in its own jus, and silken hand-riced potatoes.
SOLE MEUNIÈRE At La Fontaine de Mars, sole "in the style of the miller's wife" weighs in at a pound, and is doused with acidulated brown butter. The golden fish is expertly boned and extremely firm, a sign of its freshness. This chichi bistro's choicest tables are outdoors, under an arcade on a vest-pocket square with a fountain where Napoleon watered his horses.
SOUFFLÉ The old-school waiters at Le Soufflé get a kick out of telling first-time customers about hard-core patrons who order a chanterelle soufflé as a first course, a Roquefort-and-walnut soufflé as an entrée, and a pistachio—and—chocolate chip soufflé for dessert. This immutable restaurant with a heartfelt, borderline kitschy atmosphere prepares all soufflés in single-serving, two-cup molds. The kitchen could be more careful about letting beaten egg whites peek through the batter, but you have to admire an institution that for 40 years has dedicated itself to one of France's most monumental dishes.
STEAK AU POIVRE Chez Catherine's supple steak is napped with an unctuous, mocha-colored pepper sauce that has just the right amount of fire. Low on tourists, the backslapping 1930's bistro is hung with Pagnol movie posters below a cigarette smoke—stained ceiling outlined in neon.
COQ AU VIN The first thing to be thankful for at L'Auberge Bressane is that the bird in question is a cockerel, not a chicken, which is what many places try to get away with. The slightly gamy meat has a mahogany hue from having been marinated for days, and then simmered, in a Julienas wine bath. The voluptuous sauce enrobes pearl onions.
DUCK CONFIT and CASSOULET Dozens of easier-to-get-to restaurants in the capital offer these twin pillars of southwestern French cooking, but none do them as authoritatively as L'Oulette, in the Bersey district on Paris's eastern edge. Its confit has melting flesh beneath brittle skin; the cassoulet, the epitome of comfort food, is packed with confit and plump tarbais, the king of southwestern-style beans.
TRUFFLE DISHES You don't have to go to the Périgord or Provence for the world's costliest tuber. Even in summer, when truffles are much less potent than in winter, La Truffière's dishes are packed with big, mouth-filling truffle flavor. The restaurant offers three truffle-laced classics as French as a Deux Chevaux: creamy oeufs brouillés aux truffes (scrambled eggs), hachis Parmentier au confit de canard (shepherd's pie made with duck confit instead of ground beef), and tournedo Rossini (fillet of beef with an escalope of foie gras). La Truffière is old-fashioned in the best sense, with a vaulted stone dining cellar, crocheted doilies—even silver candelabra with pink tapers! Service is elegant and crackerjack.
HANGER STEAK This "poor," ropy cut of beef has become almost as popular in America as it is in France. In the United States, onglet is usually opened into a thin, flat steak, but Le Vieux Bistro's can measure a hefty two inches. Shallots are the only garnish, so order crunchy sautéed potatoes on the side. Also recommended at: Michel Courtalhac.
BOEUF BOURGUIGNONNE Many of the elements, such as the pearl onions, in Le Vieux Bistro's interpretation of this Burgundian mainstay disappear into the inky sauce. The stew also has a rather surprising, absolutely delicious Madeira-like note, as if it were made with an old red wine that had lost its tannin and acid, leaving a heavenly concentration of sugar. Also recommended at: Tante Louise.
POULE AU POT Like L'Auberge Bressane and its coq au vin, La Poule au Pot charges through the starting gate with the right bird—a firm, full-flavored hen, not a dull, stringy chicken. A single serving comes in a two-quart tureen filled with (deep breath) a quarter of a poached four-pound hen, salt pork, leeks, carrots, turnips, potatoes, and the aromatic, nearly greaseless bouillon to which they have all contributed their earthy goodness. "I'm not clearing the table until you finish," our waiter threatened, "and we're open till five a.m." Associated with the populist King Henry IV and his native Béarn region, poule au pot is also served here the day-after way, as it is in French households: cold, with a thick, herby vinaigrette. As my Parisian dining partners remarked, the restaurant is "in its juice," a compliment the French save for their best-preserved medieval villages. Here it means that the management has kept its hands off the deliciously crusty décor.
BOUILLABAISSE Both Le Petit Niçois and Le Dôme beat most of their bouillabaisse-serving competitors in Paris just by using fresh fish, including rascasse, or scorpion fish. As ugly as it is scrumptious, with exceptionally white, fine-grained flesh, it's the one sea creature without which there can be no bouillabaisse. In each restaurant, the heroic Marseillais fisherman's stew comes with croutons, hot-pepper mayonnaise, and rousing rockfish bouillon redolent of anise.
POT-AU-FEU A bumptious bistro whose shoulder-to-shoulder tables are laid with red-and-white-checked cloths, Le Roi de Pot au Feu offers one of the last great eating bargains in Paris—$11 for the boiled dish that sails across French regional borders. Roll up your sleeves for short ribs, bottom round, marrow bones, leeks, turnips, carrots, potatoes, and cabbage.
CHOUCROUTE GARNIE Au Brétzel goes to the trouble of bringing in from Strasbourg the myriad pork cuts and sausages required for this prototypically Alsatian meal. And the cabbage is fermented into buttery, not the least bit acidic sauerkraut.
CRÈME BRÛLÉE "Few serve crème brélée the way it should be, with the cream cold, the brown-sugar top warm," declared our Poule au Pot waiter. The crème brélée he served not only matched this description, but real vanilla beans were used in the satiny cream. And unlike boilerplate takes on the dessert, the top was glassy and fragile; leave the pickax at home.
CRÈME CARAMEL Le Vieux Bistro's take on the most classless dessert in France (after tarte aux pommes) is so homey—even with a web of spun sugar—it's touching. Whereas crème caramel is traditionally prepared in individual ramekins, here it's done as a loaf and served in thick slices awash in an amber sauce that pleasantly scratches the back of the throat. The only thing missing is a grandmother in a checked apron announcing, "This is the way my family has made crème caramel for generations." Also recommended at: Chez René.
PROFITEROLES When this mythic dessert is prepared correctly—as it is at Le Vieux Bistro—fresh, crisp, tender puffs of choux pastry are filled with vanilla ice cream just before serving and then topped at table with hot chocolate sauce. Though the French-cookbook translator and profiteroles expert I dined with was right to complain that the sauce should have been boiling rather than merely steaming, I did notice that he cleaned his plate.
GÂTEAU CHOCOLAT Many French gastronomes spend their lives searching for the perfect flourless chocolate cake—as good as madeleines at provoking Proustian reveries. The search ends at Juveniles, a bistrot àvin whose slightly fudgy version is made with Valrhona Noir Extra chocolate (53 percent cocoa), ground almonds, and a whisper of sugar. Indeed, the underlying point made here is that sweet chocolate cake is for sissies. Owner Tim Johnston recommends his cake with Emilio Lustau sherry: "People say how well Banyuls and chocolate go together, but sherry's grapiness and brown-sugar flavor make them a great match."
FLOATING ISLAND When I ordered île flottante at La Fontaine de Mars I was putting the finishing touch on my second lunch (the life of a critic!), so you know I wasn't hungry. The snowy meringue "islands," with a veil of hardened caramel sauce, float on crème anglaise. Horrifying even myself, I ate every bite.

Pride Cultural Festival
Sunday, Jun 09, 10 am to 5 pm
At CMA, 103 Charlton Street, New York
Join us for our 3rd annual Pride Cultural Festival on Sunday, June 9, 2019! The museum will run special workshops and performances celebrating the LGBTQ+ community in recognition of Pride month. Story Time will be held at 11 am hosted by Little Rainbows: Storytime at the Lesbian Herstory Archives. Performances and interactive singalongs with drag artist and activist Marti Gould Cummings will take place at 12 pm and 2 pm. We are excited to welcome back 11-year-old drag kid Desmond Napoles aka "Desmond is Amazing" as an honorary guest of our festival!
Workshops include:
Identity As A Creative Space in the Gallery: CMA Teaching Artist Julia Rich will lead a special workshop surrounding identity exploration. Explore the things that make you you by creating a Magical Identity Being representing the multitudes of features that make you who you are. Turn to textures, colors, and shapes to represent your inner expression in a safe, nurturing environment. Attendees will leave with art that describes how they see themselves and with tools to converse with their loved ones about this identity.
Pocket Objects inspired by Zoe Schlacter in Fine Arts: Zoe Schlacter is an interdisciplinary artist that uses the performance of personal style to create queer intersections of textiles and gender. They create "pocket objects" using hand weaving and beading to make small wearables to demonstrate their personal style! What kind of pocket object would you make? Join us in learning about Zoe's techniques and try making a pocket object of your own!
Identity Trophies inspired by Harriet Horton in Fine Arts: Artist Harriet Horton creates taxidermy of what she calls "every day" animals in order to challenge gender stereotypes. Horton then creates trophies for the animals to immortalize them and her own identity within them. Today in the studio we are creating trophies of everyday things that celebrate our identities. What is something in your life that is a big part of who you are? What kind of trophy would you create for it?
LGBTQ Leaders in Action in the Media Lab: Tell your own story using cut-outs of iconic cultural and historical figures such as Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera, Harvey Milk, Eleanor Roosevelt, Artemis, Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, and Oscar Wilde! Each person was significant in their own historical time and place for a movement much greater than themselves. Break through the boundary of time and place and to celebrate lives and contributions of these amazing people!
Flags of Identity at the Clay Bar: By mixing clay we can make beautiful marbled designs, celebrating inclusivity and the power of love. Did you know that each color on the Pride Flag has a meaning? Come make your own rainbow flag to celebrate!
Love is… in the Sound Booth: Make a song about all the different kinds of love — love for your pet, for your mom or dad, for your crush… There are many different kinds of love and all should be celebrated!
This program is supported, in part, by the Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation, the New York State Council on the Arts with support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the the Lesbian Herstory Archives.

Lynparza is an inhibitor of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) enzymes, including PARP1, PARP2, and PARP3. PARP enzymes are involved in normal cellular homeostasis, such as DNA transcription, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair. Olaparib has been shown to inhibit growth of select tumor cell lines in vitro and decrease tumor growth in mouse xenograft models of human cancer both as monotherapy or following platinum-based chemotherapy. Increased cytotoxicity and anti-tumor activity following treatment with olaparib were noted in cell lines and mouse tumor models with deficiencies in BRCA. In vitro studies have shown that olaparib-induced cytotoxicity may involve inhibition of PARP enzymatic activity and increased formation of PARP-DNA complex, resulting in disruption of cellular homeostasis and cell death.
Olaparib is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor indicated as monotherapy in patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA mutated (as detected by an FDA-approved test) advanced ovarian cancer who have been treated with three or more prior lines of chemotherapy.
The most commonly reported side effects reported during clinical trials included cough, constipation, dysguesia, peripheral deem, back pain, dizziness, headache, urinary tract infection, dyspnea, and rash. Myelodysplastic syndrome/Acute Myeloid Leukemia (MDS/AML) was reported in 2% of patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated advanced cancers. The majority of cases were fatal and the duration of therapy with olaparib in patients who developed secondary cancers varied from 6 months to 2 years. Complete blood count should be tested at baseline and monthly following therapy initiation to monitor for MDS/AML. Pneumonitis, including fatal cases, occurred in 1% of patients treated with olaparib. Patients should be monitored for new or worsening respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea, fever, cough, or wheezing. Olaparib was found to be teratogenic and causes embryo-fetal toxicity in rats. It should therefore be avoided during pregnancy and its use should be a combined with an effective contraception during treatment.

You likely text your friends and family, but have you considered sending text messages to your customers? If you have, you are not alone as 1 in every 10 text messages is between a business and a client. With over 7 billion people around the world owning a mobile phone, there is no better time to consider the benefits of using SMS communication (text messages) to grow your business.
In a battle between email, social media and SMS marketing, only one can be used without an internet connection—SMS. Although it may seem access to internet is never a problem, consider that less than half of mobile phone owners have smartphones. This means that while they can receive text messages, they cannot check their email or browse the web without access to WiFi.
Plus, a phone connection is simply more reliable than the internet; think about how many times you couldn't use the web but were able to text and make phone calls on your mobile device!
When a text is sent, it shows up right on the screen of the mobile phone, and unless the person is a heavy texter, is extremely noticeable. Compare this to the dozens, if not hundreds, of emails that we receive daily. Plus, phones do not filter text messages, and there is no Spam folder for texts as there is with emails. Given the fact that 82% of mobile phone owners read every single they text they receive, it comes as no surprise that texts are read 98% of the time rather than 15-22% with emails.
Texting isn't a one-directional tactic; it is a two-way strategy that can play a significant role in attracting new clients. Half of the time (50% to be exact) a sale is dependent on timing, as a study found that shoppers tend to choose the company that they can get in touch with first.
If you share your phone number online and encourage customers to text you, you can improve your communication and offer them an immediate response, thereby increasing your sales.
Text messages are an advantageous strategy to make or confirm appointments for businesses, such as medical offices, spas, salons and body shops. As the messages comes straight to the recipient's phone, you won't hear the excuse that it went to spam or wasn't seen at all. Texting is a quick and convenient way to keep your calendar updated to stay on top of late shows and cancellations.
With the rising amount of credit card fraud, asking for customers' phone numbers to send them a verification code to confirm a purchase is a smart solution for all businesses. Plus, this allows you to store phone numbers to later use them for marketing purposes.
Business owners can use geofencing, a service that sends texts to customers based on their location. You have the ability to send notices and coupons to your subscribers when they are in close proximity to your retail location, thereby increasing the chance they will visit your business.
If you need help integrating SMS or any other type of marketing to grow your business, you can benefit from a small business loan. Find out more about what services IOU Financial offers, and how easy and quickly you can qualify for a small business loan of up to $300,000.

Nowadays studying foreign languages is very popular and useful; however, almost everybody faces difficulties while studying a foreign language. Most of these problems are related to the delusion that studying languages is difficult and takes much time. There are a few fast ways of learning foreign languages that will be discussed in this article.
Each of us has watched a foreign movie at least once, but no one ever thought that movies, books, and music can help learn a language in an easy way. Perhaps, you are thinking: "How can I learn a language with its help?" Everything is quite simple; we all like to watch, read, and listen to. So, why not use it and channel it in the right direction?
Watch foreign movies with subtitles to learn new lexical units and practice their pronunciation. This method is suggested not only for studying but also for improving your pronunciation. If you do want to improve it, download your favorite movie, listen to words and phrases, and repeat them.
Read book written in the language you're studying. This will not only broaden your vocabulary but will also improve your spelling skills, active your passive vocabulary, which will enrich your speech. It also helps to remember new words, phrases, expressions, and idioms, which improves your vocabulary.
An important thing is first to read original books, not translated. And only after read its translated version. Sometimes translators misinterpret author's idea and bring in their own ideas. When reading an original book you'll be astounded with amazing expressions and various synonyms. You don't have to take a very difficult book with tons of new lexical units. Star with something simple. There are plenty of books that are published specifically for beginners and intermediate-level readers.
Listen to song while reading its translation – this helps understand their meaning. It should be noted that a significant advantage of this method is beautiful pronunciation. Studying a language via songs, you subconsciously accept the style of exposition of thoughts, get used to it, and reproduce it.
Listen to a radio station from the country, whose language you're studying. This also promotes understanding of lexical units and helps plunge into the environment where everyone speaks this language.
This method will not only help learn a foreign language, but also enjoy your time doing it.
Ideally, real-time communication with a native speaker facilitates language learning. However, not always can a person get this opportunity.
There are a lot of apps that help people learn languages with the help of native speakers. The idea behind these apps is as follows: you find a person who wants to learn your language and want to learn the language this person speaks. You get acquainted and start communication using the language that person or you want to learn. A positive feature of such apps is that the native speaker can give you helpful tips and insights about the language.
There are apps with built-in dictionaries. One may find a great variety of forums and specialized web sited that help native speakers communicate and learn languages.
One may also communicate using Skype. With the help of this program you can talk to people from different countries, gain experience and learn new aspects of the language. This method does not only improve your knowledge but also helps find new friends.
In order to learn a language fast, repeat the names of some objects in your mind. Try to translate everything that you see around you. You'll be surprised that fancy names of some stores have fancy meanings.
While keeping vocabularies, notebooks for rules, etc. try to introduce something you found by yourself. Do not limit yourself with certain rules. You can have something thematic, designing it with pictures, stickers. You can have intellect-cards, gathering words in semantic groups, in groups of synonyms and other.
∙ The method of phonetic associations. The idea behind this method is to think of a native word that sounds like a foreign word you need to remember.
∙ The Brad Pitt method. To remember a qord think of a native word that at least somehow sounds a like and has a bit of similar meaning.
∙ Falling-in-a-puddle method. The ida here is to remember a word associating it with an event in your life. A lot of words can be remembered with the help of slang.
When studying a language, one should realize the importance of the correct spelling. That is why, pay attention to how you spell all the words. In order to learn a foreign language, write stories, essays, songs, poems, etc. Start a notebook or a diary, in which you describe everything that has happened with you. This method will help you understand the rules of tenses, irregular verbs and their use in different situations.
You can also have a notebook to write quotes, signs in English in order to remember their translation and to learn to pronounce them. You will probably agree that with the help of our imagination and fantasy it is easier to remember and learn things.
If you cannot remember a word, write it s few times or up until the moment when you realize you have remembered it. The method of repetition helps to remember words that are difficult for you.
In order to learn a language by yourself, try to plunge into the country's environment. How can it help you learn the language? Learning more facts about the country it will be more comfortable and interesting for you to learn the language. You will also realize if the language is interesting for you. Probably, this will be a good motivation for you to study the language.
Learn more about the culture, history, cuisine. Try to cook some dishes and try national cuisine. Watch some movies and listen to the musicians. You will probably enjoy it and become a fan of a band. Learn more about places of interest. This will also make more erudite.
It should be mentioned that you must not stop learning a language. Do not postpone it for later. Spend at least 30 minutes a day and learn words every day. Don't be shy to speak. Speak from the very first day you start to learn the language.
Be patient and you'll be surprised with the result. Studying a foreign language has a lot of advantages, such as watching original movies without waiting for their translation; having more emotions from the trip you make; understanding the lyrics of your favorite songs; expansion of your communication circle; shopping in foreign stores; improvement of cognitive functions of your brain, which is never a bad thing.
Don't lose hope if you can't remember something. I hope our article will help you in studying a foreign language. You can also read similar articles on our website, for example: "How to Learn a Foreign Language Faster" and "Preparation to IELTS Reading: Skimming Skills for Faster Reading". Just remember, you can do it!

Eventually it was a logical step for me to progress into competition. I found myself running in marathons and, finally, competing in triathlons. In 1983, in fact, I successfully competed in the Hawaii Ironman triathlon, arguably the most arduous and certainly the most celebrated single-day athletic endurance event.
I have assiduously pursued aerobic exercise for the past 11 years, ever since I discovered that such endeavors were finally possible for me and were the means by which I could attain physical strength and well-being. It was a long and arduous road--from huffing and puffing (and wheezing) my way through tentative one-mile runs to involving myself in the rigors of the triathlon--but I was determined to become fit and to stay fit.

Q: How to access MethodChannel of Flutter engine created with FlutterActivity.withNewEngine()? I am trying to create a Android app which launches flutter inside it. I have learnt that we can pass data to flutter via MethodChannels like this:
MethodChannel(
                FlutterEngineCache.getInstance().get(NEARBY_PLACES_ENGINE_KEY)?.dartExecutor?.binaryMessenger,
                "APP_CHANNEL"
        ).setMethodCallHandler { call, result ->
            if (call.method == "getGreetings") {
                val coordinates = "Hello"
                result.success(coordinates)
            }
        }

startActivity(FlutterActivity
                .withCachedEngine(NEARBY_PLACES_ENGINE_KEY)
                .build(this))

This is possible when I have access to FlutterEngine instance (In this case with help of FlutterEngineCache). But how do we get the BinaryMessenger of a engine created with FlutterActivity.withNewEngine() ? Please help. TIA!

A: Okay so I found the way to do it.
Created a custom FlutterActivity class and added that in the manifest instead of the one from io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity. The custom FlutterActivity extends from FlutterActivity, and overrides some methods to be able to access the newEngine.
class CustomFlutterActivity : FlutterActivity() {

    companion object {
        var methodChannelInvoker: (MethodCall, Result) -> Unit = { _, _ -> }

        fun withCachedEngine(cachedEngineId: String): CachedEngineIntentBuilder {
            return CachedEngineIntentBuilder(CompassFlutterActivity::class.java, cachedEngineId)
        }

        fun withNewEngine(): NewEngineIntentBuilder {
            return NewEngineIntentBuilder(CompassFlutterActivity::class.java)
        }
    }

    override fun configureFlutterEngine(flutterEngine: FlutterEngine) {
        super.configureFlutterEngine(flutterEngine)
        MethodChannel(flutterEngine.dartExecutor.binaryMessenger, "APP_CHANNEL")
                .setMethodCallHandler { call, result ->
                    methodChannelInvoker(call, result)
                }
    }
}

and at the launch site,
CustomFlutterActivity.methodChannelInvoker = { call, result ->
            if (call.method == "getGreetings") {
                val greetings = "Hello there!"
                result.success(coordinates)
            }
        }
        startActivity(CustomFlutterActivity
                .withNewEngine()
                .initialRoute("/custom_route")
                .build(this))

This way, when the new engine launches, you get callback at configureFlutterEngine with new engine as parameter, we can simply access dartExecutor at that point.
Oh yes, and don't forget to add the CustomFlutterActivity in the manifest instead of FlutterActivity.

Volvo and Microsoft have announced a partnership that'll allow new car buyers to really get under the skin of vehicles they're looking at, by using Microsoft HoloLens – the world's first untethered holographic computer.
The wearable technology will help customers to make more informed decisions before they invest their money, by configuring the car in 3D and shedding further light on how advanced safety features work.
AA Motoring General Manager Stella Stocks welcomed the news that New Zealanders will be able to learn more about the increasing range of enhanced safety options that are available.
"You only experience car safety in action when something goes wrong," says Ms Stocks. "So, for instance, electronic stability control… What does that mean? What does it do?
The partnership between the Swedish car maker and Microsoft will also open the door to exploring further technologies that will have an impact upon the future of the automotive industry. Areas of potential focus include autonomous driving and using predictive analytics to improve safety.

"The team is in high spirit and I want to state here that the test match we played against Wikki Tourist on Tuesday showed that our team looks balanced. We threw away a goal lead after our host, Wikki Tourist lost a penalty.
"The technical crew have really done a good job and I'm sure Nigerians will see a new El-Kanemi Warriors when the league starts this weekend," Obaseki said confidently.
