Gleb Matveychuk: "I went from Makeeva twice a month"
The singer gave a shocking interview about the breakup with his wife.

Gleb Matveychuk did not want to publicly discuss this topic, but was forced — because of ex-wife, Anastasia Makeeva.
"I asked Anastasia
only one thing — don't touch my mother! — said Gleb. — It is an old man, suffered
many surgeries, she was in poor health. While the mother is constantly
faced with baseless accusations… my Mother was a good person. Nastya she liked. If the first time she was worried the attacks
Makeeva in the press, now she is very regret former daughter-in-law… I also
I sincerely wish Nastia finding love in the hope that when it happens, it
will switch their attention to a new object…
All of her relationships end one
scenario — a long explanations in the press. I regret that we were unable to part on good and I have now completely
no desire to chat with Nastya. And how can you talk with a person
who calls your mother a witch?"
It is parents, not his wife, supported him in this difficult time.
"They helped me not to break in the most difficult period of life.
When I was literally hunted down in the Theater Mossovet and
many colleagues I worked with, turned against me. I filed a lawsuit, demanding 5 million roubles. But the judge ruled in my favor. After the trial, naturally, I quit. But Anastasia, who all this time
was aloof from the conflict, decided not to leave the theater… My wife was in a wonderful relationship with
those who tried to ruin my life."
Hleb admitted he did not expect that a relationship that started like a fairy tale, will result in such horror. "Makeeva creates a conflict situation in a vacuum, maybe, and not hoping for such an outcome… Life turned into a series
scandals. Quarrel of every detail… In the last year we have
the house always was a Packed suitcase with which I left every two
of the week".
Now Hleb is happy in a relationship with actress Elena Glazkova, they have a baby on the way. Interestingly, the parents of his girls are very afraid of meeting with the mother of Matveychuk. "Lena's mom was in shock when I found out about the chosen one's daughter. After reading a lot of "good" words about my mother, she was afraid of meeting her. But after meeting calmed down."

Dominus (latin för "husbonde", "herre", "härskare") var under senromersk tid en hövlighetstitel mellan män (även domine frater, herr broder!) och smickerbenämning på de romerska kejsarna. Dominus var under den kristna tiden namn på Gud och Jesus. - Dominus ac redemptor noster, "Vår herre och återlösare" är begynnelseorden i den av påve Klemens XIV utfärdade bulla, genom vilken jesuitorden år 1773 förklarades upphävd.

Dominus maior och dominus minor var hos romarna benämning på husfadern och äldste sonen. Dominus vobiscum! Herren vare med eder! är den katolska prästens liturgiska hälsning till församlingen.

Hoping to make a fast buck from those looking for a quick fix to their weight woes, peddlers are touting slimming pills online illegally.
Some sell weight-loss pills prescribed by their doctors for a tidy profit. Others hawk natural supplements that contain toxic ingredients. One peddler made a profit of close to $18,000 in six months from selling pills that were marketed as "100 per cent natural", but contained a banned ingredient that increases the risk of a heart attack.
The Health Sciences Authority (HSA), which regulates health products, has prosecuted seven women, including an engineer, for selling slimming pills illegally in the past two years. They sold their products through social media, discussion forums and other websites.
The latest case involved an unemployed 27-year-old woman who was fined $8,000 on June 27 .
She sold Li Da Dai Dai Hua weight-loss capsules for $50 a box, having bought them for US$2.45 (S$3.30) from overseas.
The pills were touted to be 100 per cent herbal, but HSA's tests found they contained undeclared ingredients such as sibutramine, which is banned as it can increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
Slimming pills made the news recently after a 22-year-old student in Singapore, who was in the healthy weight range, died from an overdose of such pills.
On May 31, the Coroner's Court heard how Ms Huang Guo had almost 10 different drugs for weight loss and for countering the side effects of these pills. She had ordered them from the websites of a clinic and a hospital in Thailand. Her blood was found to have about eight times the therapeutic limit for phentermine, the active ingredient in appetite suppressant Duromine.
Of those caught by the HSA, two women sold Duromine, a popular weight-loss drug that only doctors can prescribe here.
A 21-year-old unemployed woman obtained Duromine from a clinic and advertised it online for $180 a box. But she raised the price to $250 when she found buyers were willing to fork out extra. She was fined $3,000 last December.
Another peddler, a 33-year-old engineer, obtained Duromine from a clinic for $45 a box for her own use. She then sold it at $95 a box.
She was also convicted last December and fined $3,000.
It is an offence to sell medicine prescribed by a doctor or dispensed by a pharmacist to others, and offenders can be fined up to $10,000 and/or jailed up to two years.
Doctors say they charge between $40 and $60 for a box of Duromine with 30 capsules, excluding consultation fees. General practitioners interviewed charge between $20 and $30 on average for consultations during office hours. On a popular online forum, there were at least 20 people in the past year selling Duromine, and for as much as $150 per box, checks by The Sunday Times found.
Dr Tan Kok Kuan, of Dr Tan & Partners, said: "Duromine is very effective and it works very fast, and that is why it is so popular."
But it can be addictive and its side effects include insomnia, mood swings and heart palpitations.
Under the Singapore health authorities' guidelines, doctors are advised to prescribe it only to patients who are obese with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or to those who are overweight with a BMI of 27.5 or higher and suffer from diabetes or other obesity-related conditions. Doctors say they prescribe Duromine for up to six months and its consumption must be supervised by a doctor.
In 2009, the Health Ministry warned doctors to be more stringent in prescribing slimming drugs to patients who may not need them. This came after the International Narcotics Control Board listed Singapore as among the countries with the highest consumption of phentermine worldwide.
Some who are slim also try to get Duromine from doctors .
They want to look good for their wedding or are seeking to shed the extra weight gained after a holiday, doctors interviewed say.
Most who ask their doctors for weight-loss pills are women, from teenagers to those in middle age.
Dr Daniel Wai, of Daniel Wai Diabetes, Thyroid and Hormone Clinic, said: "Some who ask for the drug are not overweight but they think they are fat, because they are not as skinny as Fann Wong or other actresses and models."
So these women may turn to online peddlers if they cannot get the pill from their doctors, he said.
An HSA spokesman advised the public not to buy health products from unknown websites or people posting offers on online forums or blogs. Among other dangers, the product could be fake or adulterated with undeclared ingredients that are harmful.

Announced departure of Sands CFO doesn't faze Wall Street
By Howard Stutz
LAS VEGAS -- The announced departure of Las Vegas Sands Corp.'s chief financial officer hasn't concerned Wall Street.
The stock price is up and analysts passed off Tuesday's announcement that CFO Kenneth Kay was leaving the casino operator on July 31 as "just another negative headline."
A source familiar with the situation said Kay, who had been CFO since 2008, was "let go" by Las Vegas Sands but not for any cause.
RBC Capital Markets gaming analyst John Kempf told investors not to read too much into the departure, which comes as the company faces investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission and the U.S. Department of Justice over potential violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
"We view this event as another in a long line of 'distractions' that have the impact of tainting the positive fundamentals in the eyes of some investors," Kempf said in a research note.
On Wall Street, shares of Las Vegas Sands, traded on the New York Stock Exchange, climbed 67 cents on Wednesday, $1.50 on Thursday, and 5 cents on Friday to close the week at $52.93.
Analysts said investors are more focused on Las Vegas Sands' continued prospects in Macau, where the company operates four resorts, is finishing the next phase of the $4.4 billion Sands Cotai Central, and is developing a Paris-themed hotel-casino project.
Almost 80 percent of the company's $11.13 billion in revenues came from Macau and the Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.
Kempf said he talked with Las Vegas Sands management about Kay's departure. He told investors the move had nothing to do with the investigations or the company's cutting ties in April with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLC, its outside auditor since 2004. Las Vegas Sands appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP to the position.
"The company did not provide a reason for Mr. Kay's departure but we would note his original employment contract, which was entered into in December 2008, expired on December 2011 and was subject to automatic renewals for terms of one year each, with options for both the company and Mr. Kay to not extend the term," Kempf said.
According to an SEC filing, Kay entered into "a six-month consultancy agreement" with the company to provide transitional services as needed.
"The company will undertake a search for Mr. Kay's permanent replacement," Las Vegas Sands said.
Meanwhile, analysts said investors have paid little concern to company Chairman Sheldon Adelson's recent tirade against Internet gaming legalization. He urged state and federal lawmakers to ban Internet gaming in a commentary published on Forbes.com.
He repeated the same points in a website, StopInternetGambling.com, which is paid for by Las Vegas Sands Corp.
Macquarie Securities gaming analyst Chad Beynon told investors last week the company's Macau holdings will continue to flourish. The market produced $38 billion in gaming revenues in 2012 and is 14 percent through May.
Beynon said the company "is the only operator that will have additional gaming and hotel capacity over the next two years in Macau. Las Vegas Sands generates more annual cash flow than any other Macau concessionaire."

Are you a startup or a new sewer rehabilitation contractor?
If you're a rookie just getting started with sewer rehabilitation, renting or leasing will help you save costs upfront while still allowing you access to the equipment you need. It also gives you the opportunity to test out different equipment and use the latest models and tech before making a purchase. Renting is the most flexible option, but will have less predictable expenses and make budgeting more difficult. Many vendors have a rent- or lease-to-purchase option that can also be a smart way to invest in equipment while spreading out startup costs.
Sewer rehabilitation is brutal work that wears out equipment quickly. Managing your cost-of-ownership includes understanding the repairs and service all equipment needs over its lifetime. When renting and leasing, you don't have to worry about repair costs. You can even avoid downtime as owning companies often supply temporary replacement equipment when something needs servicing. On the other hand, buying equipment means you are responsible for repairing the machinery yourself. Having full control of maintenance and repairs means service can be completed to your standards, but that can be costly. Renting avoids these expenses altogether.
Are you hoping to benefit from tax incentives?
Leasing and buying are often associated with tax benefits. If you're a small- to medium-sized private for-profit company, Intuit reports that leasing expenses can likely be categorized as a 100% tax-deductible operational expense under the 179 IRS Tax Code. Some buyers may also qualify for tax incentives, while others can leverage a depreciation deduction for the equipment. Renting equipment does not have this advantage.


In an ongoing effort to provide the best patient care, healthcare facilities must stay current with the latest advances in health care technology. One of the fastest growing, and most effective tools in the industry is Direct Messaging. Think of it as "encrypted email" for health care records, allowing health care providers and other trusted users to safely and securely exchange patient information. In a recent article the DirectTrust Organization, a health care industry alliance created by and for participants in the Direct exchange network, demonstrated just how rapidly and expansively Direct Messaging is growing.
Between the 1980s and early 2000s, most of the Veterans Health Information Systems Technology and Architecture's (VistA) infrastructure and application improvements focused on creating a world-class hospital information system (HIS) for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These initiatives have generated a wealth of interoperable applications unmatched by any other system. VistA has streamlined and eliminated paper-based processes throughout clinical, financial and administrative departments, but it presents many challenges for modern healthcare organizations.

A student teacher used a graphic organizer with a lightening speed video in a World Honors history class for seniors.
The teacher cleverly slowed the lesson down after the first quick showing, and the clips framed the lecture into a pleasing package!
So I clicked on the video and it has inspired me since. The more I think about this it, the more I am impressed with the choreography that we do not see. Mathew Jeffers' sent this e-mail to the Ravens' football coach, but the multimedia composition that extended Jeffers' voice to the 146,285 viewers since its Jan. 31 post (which really only reflects some of the audience since videos are viewed by more than one person at a time AND it was broadcast on ESPN) is powerful. The relational development that is discussed in Baym's (2010) Personal Connections in the Digital Age has a more complex web in this example, because not only are Jeffers, the coach, and players connected, but Jeffers' message inspired thousands.
The composition of this piece involved thoughtfulness, work, and time. Contacts and permissions must have been granted, interviews held, video clips chosen, music selected, and then the video was crafted. I wonder how long that all took. I appreciate the effort, because the message is enduring.
The CHEP conference offered new experiences. It was my first time participating in a poster session and a research session. I learned from speaking with a marketing professor from New Hampshire that visited our poster session that we should have used a QR code. He introduced me to QR codes through Google, which will keep your stats regarding how many people have visited your site. The research session on digital internships introduced me to the deep thinking of scholars. Participants in our session had insights into our research that broadened my view of what we were doing.
I learned from CHEP 2013 to be careful what you wish for. I did not expect all 4 of the proposals that my name was on would get accepted, so I set myself up for a lot of prep. The fourth presentation was a practice session , with my advisor Dr. Katie Dredger and my office mate Paige Horst, on using Web 2.0 tools for reflection with preservice teachers. Since I did a practice session last year, I was much more comfortable presenting this time around.
Two poster presentations with Naina Bhandari, Windi Turner, Jenny Martin (me) and Beth MacDonald at last week's Conference of Higher Education Pedagogy.
My name is Jenny Martin, and I am a graduate teaching assistant working toward my PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at Virginia Tech. At Virginia Tech I am enrolled as a full-time student, and my GTA duties involve teaching a class entitled Teaching Adolescent Readers and supervising student teachers placed in middle and high school English classes. I also serve as an adjunct instructor at Bridgewater College where I co-direct the Shenandoah Valley Writing Academy, supervise student teachers, and provide Praxis support.
I use a 32 GB ipad, property of Virginia Tech, mostly for reading journal articles, e-books, and note taking. The ipad was provided in a course I am enrolled in, and now I wonder how I lived without this friend that has significantly lightened my load and curtailed much wasted paper! There is nothing better than trading in stacks of heavy books for compact technology. I tote my wheely bag around campus and to children's events a lot less, and it's nice to have the camera and video tools on hand. My laptop is a Dell Inspiron, and when I am working on my literature review, in preparation for my dissertation, I also use my Toshiba laptop so that I can have both screens working for me. To back up files, I use a portable external hard drive. Occasionally I'll use a jump drive, but rarely.
With a family of five, coordinating children's activities, and living away from home three days a week I find dropbox vital. In dropbox I keep a single spreadsheet entitled "weekly calendar" that is shared with my husband and both sets of grandparents. Each Sunday I update the weekly schedule that includes children's names with activities and who is providing care/transportation to each event, chores that rotate among the kids, evening meals, phone numbers, and bus times. For school and work I use dropbox to organize mostly assistantship files and student teaching files for my adjunct position. Beyond dropbox, I use Microsoft Word for typing papers, Google documents, excel speadsheets, wikispaces, wordpress, and I'm trying to get comfortable with Google sites.
What would be my dream setup?
Now I see the value in an ipad, and I would love to own my own. When it's time, I'll buy an origami cover to go with it. I look forward to having an office at a small liberal arts school with one computer and two screens provided by the school. The idea of having one office to put my work belongings sounds very appealing to me right now. At home I'll use my laptop, and once I'm employed full time I'll buy the newest version of the smartphone and get the family connected through Google calendar.
As I was reading Networked, I was not too surprised to see that more than 3/4 of teenagers and 2/3 of adults have created content online. What does surprise me is that when I mentioned wikis in a conversation around a group of 8 male and female students last year, they said, "What's a wiki?" Does this reflect the cultural inertia that may exist in our schools? Wikis are amazing collaborative spaces that could be rocking the schoolhouse.
My 14-year-old daughter was one of the kids in that group. She likes to go in her closet, yes- literally in her closet- with her ipod and a family lap top. Does this sound like we're breaking all the rules for parenting and computer use? There is more. The closet has a spot that wraps around part of our chimney that makes for the perfect private spot. Inside this closet she has blankets, a queen pillow, and the ceiling is lined with white Christmas lights. So, she likes to go to this spot and use ooVoo to visit with friends and to get a little studying done. My daughter's bedroom is on the second floor, and her closet wall adjoins the small, but high ceilinged living room on our first floor. We live in a 30+-year-old log home, and what I'm trying to say is the privacy of her spot is really a facade. When my husband and I are in the living room, we hear everything. A benefit that we enjoy.
So, back to Networked. As I read about the percentage of students active in creating online content and thought about my daughter studying with friends in her closet using ooVoo, one sentence in the book struck me: "Networked individuals have new powers to create media and project their voices to more extended audiences that become part of their social world" (loc. 490 on the kindle e-book).
So why aren't we enabling more students in school to use these technologies they enjoy in purposeful ways? Why not teach them how to leverage these new literacies to make purposeful digital footprints that reflect goals, communicate needs, explore interests, and share knowledge?
I wonder about the possibility of using ooVoo in conjunction with collaborative writing and Google documents to engage students in writing. I'd like to do something similar to this collaboration with digital internships but perhaps use 9th graders from different high schools, yet situated close enough so that the students could get together and meet each other in person. The collaboration might kick off with a get-to-know you breakfast at a local bagel shop.
I think we have the tools in education; we just don't always use them as well as we could. I think Justin Reich would agree with me on that one.

A Look Back at the Times Prince William and Kate Middleton Actually Showed PDA
Kelsey Goeres
Prince William and Kate Middleton aren't the touchiest of couples, even for the royal family. But when they do make contact in public, we can't help but swoon. Here's a look back at all the times Prince William and Kate Middleton showed some PDA.
1. The famous Buckingham Palace kiss
Their wedding kiss was clearly magical. | Christopher Furlong/Getty Images
It all started with the couple's first kiss as a married couple on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the world to see. The couple excitedly took in the crowd and gave each other a bashful smooch (even in the beginning, the royal couple wasn't particularly keen on big displays of affection).
Next: A sweet hug after a race to the finish line
2. Things got cozy at Dalvay-by-the-Sea

During the 2011 dragon boat race at Dalvay-by-the-Sea, William pulled Middleton in close for a sweet hug. The two were pitted against each other (William as a rower and Middleton was in charge of steering her boat) in a race to the finish line. William's boat won, but by the looks of the hug afterwards, there weren't any sore feelings.
Next: The couple showed some adorable PDA while celebrating a win for GB.
3. When they celebrated at the London Summer Games

When the couple attended the London Summer Games back in 2012, they couldn't help but celebrate a win for Great Britain in the Track Cycling event with an excited hug.
"Both in official Team GB gear, the spouses of 15 months jumped up, cheered and — in a rare moment of unabashed affection — hugged tightly amidst other excited fans in the stands," reported Us Weekly.
Next: The couple only rarely make this gesture publicly.
4. Holding hands around the grounds

Shortly after their wedding, the couple was seen walking hand-in-hand around the grounds of Buckingham Palace.
"Prince William and Kate Middleton were beaming as they stepped out of Buckingham Palace this morning, headed on a romantic weekend away," reported Pop Sugar.
Next: A sweet smooch on the cheek
5. Middleton gives William a kiss on the cheek

Prince William, along with his brother Harry, participated in the Audi Polo Challenge in Santa Barbara, California back in 2012. The boys aren't strangers to the game of polo and proved to be worthy opponents.
After a rousing polo match, the duchess gave her husband a congratulatory kiss on the cheek.
Next: The prince looked out for his wife at this event.
6. The couple sweetly held hands at the 2014 Commonwealth Games
The heat didn't keep the duke and duchess from showing off their love. | Chris Jackson/Getty Images
The couple held hands while watching a swimming competition at the Tollcross Swimming Centre during the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland.
Additionally, the event took place on a hot July day, and Prince William used Middleton's name tag as a fan to keep her cool.
Next: Could Meghan Markle and Prince Harry be inspiring the couple to be more touchy?
7. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry could be changing royal PDA etiquette

When Markle and Prince Harry debuted their engagement announcement, the world was excited to see their casual, laid-back love for each other. The two cuddled into each other and held hands before the microphones were turned on.
They seem to be a little bit looser with their PDA than Middleton and William. Perhaps Markle and Harry's relationship will inspire a few more displays of affection from their royal in-laws.


The Leuven-based school of arts LUCA Drama presents CIRCUM MORTIS, which is mostly based on the heritage of the playwright Tadeusz KANTOR. Directed by Johan KNUTS, an actor and a bona fide connoisseur of the theatre of the grotesque, this show is part of the research project Kantor was here set up by the school.
One of the main points of the project was to run acting workshops, held between 1 and 12 September 2014 by two actors who work with the KANTOR Krakow theatre, Teresa and Andrzej WEŁMIŃSKI. With the help of these two important figures with regard to Kantorian heritage, the students and their teacher have plunged into the universe of the great Polish playwright.
Circum mortis marks the culmination of a project which has lasted two years, two years of research and delving through a word which is both unique and universal – the world of Tadeusz KANTOR. It is also a wonderful prelude to the events that will take place in 2015, declared Tadeusz KANTOR year by the Polish parliament.
In 2012, Kris CUPPENS, director of LUCA Drama, came up with the idea for De kunst van het gemis, a two-year project whose aim was to "go in search of a contemporary melancholic style of writing plays in which the work of Tadeusz KANTOR, who reinvented contemporary theatre, has pride of place". The project aimed to examine the concept of melancholy through the prism of contemporary playwrighting. In this context, Tadeusz KANTOR (1915-1990), a towering figure in international contemporary theatre, is front and centre.
The first stage of the project was a study trip to Krakow, the city in which KANTOR was born. Visits were paid to the Cricoteka collections, the Documentation Centre on the Art of Tadeusz Kantor, which is part of the Cricot 2 Theatre Museum. Visits were also paid to the Nazi concentration camp in Auschwitz.
Next, students and teachers met Johan DE BOOSE, a Flemish journalist and writer who knew Tadeusz KANTOR and wrote his doctoral thesis on Kantor's Theatre of Death (University of Ghent); he also translated all of Kantor's artistic manifestos into Dutch.
The third part of the project took place in September 2014. From 1 until 12 September 2014, a group of students took part in workshops run by famous actors who work with Cricot 2, Teresa et Andrzej WEŁMIŃSKI. At the end of the workshops, a show, ASHES, was presented which focused on the First World War. You can see the photos on the Cricoteka website.
The final part of this long process of contemplation on the legacy of Kantor is CIRCUM MORTIS.

MLBits: Seattle's Record Start, Improving Pitch-Framing, Yankees and Keuchel, More
April 11, 2019, by Michael Cerami Chicago Cubs
I've never really been a big reader and that's especially true now that audiobooks are so ubiquitous. If there's a must-read book that I somehow find the time/energy for … I'm gonna listen to it. But I also don't love that quality about me.
Don't get me wrong, audiobooks are fantastic and will always have a place in my life (I'm currently listening to "The Way of Kings," which is really great), but I want to be a card-carrying member of the book-readers club. And considering my current, confirmed collection of actually-read books consists almost entirely of properties that've been turned into movie franchises and TV series (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, The Da Vinci Code, etc.) I just don't don't feel like I've earned it.
So on Monday, I went to the Chicago Public Library, got myself my (literal) first ever library card and checked-out "Catch-22." I'm five chapters in and I really like it. [Brett: OMG MICHAEL YES! Catch-22 is so freaking good.] Of course, reading that book has come at the expense of listening to that Way of Kings book I love, which is a bit of a … dilemma.
Here's some news from around the league …
Over the offseason, the Mariners traded away a number of good players like closer Edwin Diaz (1.96 ERA, 3.5 WAR), shortstop Jean Segura (111 wRC+, 3.8 WAR in 2018), and second baseman Robinson Cano (136 wRC+, 2.9 WAR), among others, in an apparent rebuild. But they sure don't look like a rebuilding team. Through their first 14 games, the Mariners have won 12 times, including two five-game winning streaks. Even cooler, they've tied the MLB record with 14-straight games with a home run to open the season, and they did it in dramatic fashion late last night:
This team. pic.twitter.com/aDJirfA4yI
— Seattle Mariners (@Mariners) April 11, 2019
That's Mitch Haniger hitting a go-ahead, ninth-inning home run, his third of the season, to tie the record and give the Mariners a win, all in one swing.
Bonus Mariners tidbit: old friend Dan Vogelbach is hitting .423/.529/1.154 right now with a 327 wRC+. FIVE of those Mariners homers are his.
I have a couple more active records for you, too. Royals outfielder Whit Merrifield has extended his hitting streak to 31 (!) games, dating back to last season, which breaks the Royals record previously set by Hall-of-Famer George Brett. He's got quite a ways to go until he reaches the magical #56, but who wouldn't love to see that? This is the longest streak since 2011, when Dan Uggla reached 33 consecutive games with a hit.
Poor Chris Davis, who's the current all-time leader for consecutive at-bats without a hit, wasn't forced to start last night, but did get a chance to pinch-hit … and flew out to center. To be fair, he did hit it 102 MPH and 371 feet. That's a home run sometimes. That's the kind of luck he's having.
well that's an 0 for 50 for Chris Davis.
— Susan Slusser (@susanslusser) April 11, 2019
Khris Davis (of the A's) is probably like "Dude … you're ruining our brand."
Speaking of somewhat surprising starts, the Yankees are 5-7 and learned on Tuesday that they'd be without recently-extended ace Luis Severino until at least the All-Star break (strained lat). But according to sources close to SNY, that doesn't mean they're going to go after free agent starter Dallas Keuchel – unless his price drops further. What do you think? Do you buy it? Or is that an obvious leverage grab from a team with all the money in the world and a sudden, glaring need that can be filled perfectly by the market. Hmm…
Did you know Edwin Jackson posted a 3.33 ERA over 92.0 IP last season? I think the Cubs should take a flyer on … just kidding. But it does sound like the 35-year-old Jackson is nearing an agreement on a Minor League deal with the A's. Good for him. If that guy is anything, he's a survivor.
Don't hold your prospects down, I guess:
Worth noting that had the Mets played the service-time manipulation game, Pete Alonso would be twiddling his thumbs in Syracuse. Instead, in 10 games, he has hit .385/.429/.923 with five HR and 14 RBIs for the Mets.
Oh, and Tatis Jr. and Paddack have been excellent for SD, too.
— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) April 10, 2019
The counter argument, of course, is that whomever they were replacing could've also done reasonably well in a small sample and even if they didn't the amount ANY player can affect such a tiny collection of games versus another, even replacement-level player is minimal. But also, who cares. Just bring 'em up. Baseball loves young players right now, let's see them.
After a somewhat promising start in the framing department, Willson Contreras (who has otherwise been absolutely fantastic) is already the second-to-worse qualified catcher by his framing score in baseball. But that's a little misleading. As of today, he's only slightly below neutral behind the plate, which would actually mark an insane and wonderful improvement. It is possible.
Take Robinson Chirinos, for example, who was the second-worst pitch framer in baseball, behind only Willson Contreras, last season. The Astros placed a heavy focus on receiving over the offseason, and the early results this year have been fantastic (he's been exactly neutral behind the plate). Obviously, like with Contreras, the sample is small, but that's a very good start and seems to suggest that a catcher can, indeed, improve in this area over the course of a single offseason. Let's hope that rings true for the Cubs.
These two pitches look freaking identical for so long, and then go in completely different directions. How do you deal with this:

Q: Hg ( Merculrial ) Backup policy We have 500 plus Hg repositories and am looking for a quick and efficient want of backup. Is there a script or Tool that we can use to backup these repositories. We tried Hg bundle, hg clone and regular file system backup but they are not helping.
Is there a standard practice, or some documentation for Hg repositories backup policy?
A follow-up question, what will happen when a user is in a middle of pushing the changeset and we start the backup ?
We do use RhodeCode to publish the Hg repositories.
Thanks

A: There's no standard.  A true FS-level snapshot taken during a push will be fine, but a non-instantaneous mirroring operation (recursive copy) could end up with a corrupt repo, though it would be repairable to the pre-push state.
In the past I've done something as simple as:
for repo in $(find /srv/repos -type d -name .hg | sed 's/\.hg$//') ; do
    hg --cwd $repo --repository $repo push ssh://backupserver/$(basename $repo)
done

That pushes all repos to a remote ssh server, incrementally, with full updating-while-pushing integrity, creating them if necessary.

A: I have a somewhat similar solution of cloning/pulling from a backup server but I trigger the backup on an hg hook.
In the main server global hgrc, I have:
changegroup.backup = .../backup.sh

and in backup.sh something like:
REPO=`hg root`
ts sshpass -p '...' ssh hg@backupserver "~/bin/pull.exp $REPO" 2>> $LOG

Ts (task spooler) allows the operation to happen asynchronously. The expect script is handling the fact that the repository might be new (thus performing an hg clone --noupdate) or already existing (thus performing an hg pull) and also can give the ssh key a passphrase when requested.
Pushing on the second server is only allowed for the backup hook, so no issue of multiple heads or needed force can happen.
What I find interesting in this type of real time backup is that in case of crash of the main server, it should be much faster to switch to the backup one.

Bibliotech: What is THE ANNEX@?
We started this post a year ago and never published it. While most students quickly learn about THE ANNEX@ upon entering New Canaan High School, it occurs to us that members of our greater learning community ("greater" meaning larger, not better) do not necessarily know what it is. Yet, it is probably one of our virtual library's greatest ("greater" meaning both bigger AND better) assets.
THE ANNEX@ is our learning portal. When we meet with classes, our lessons include a walk-through of the instructional materials assembled/created for that specific research task, all of which are curated in THE ANNEX@.
Until Tuesday, most lessons were organized into a "playlist" (we use LessonPaths to create our playlists). When students needed a refresher on what we covered in class, they could navigate through the steps to locate the one they wanted to review. We liked this software as a learning tool because it helped students find exactly what they needed without having to dig through a long narrative. The screenshot below features a playlist (green box at the top) as compared to an older post (a long passage of text with a few embedded images).
Until this week, lesson playlists were posted to a simple blog. We used Blogger because it is part of the Google for Education Suite. It is easy to access. Sign in is not required, so students, teachers, instructional aides, parents, members of the New Canaan community and folks beyond could access what we teach. We deeply value that transparency and universal access.
Posting to LessonPaths was great for students, but clunky for us. We had to rely on third party software to convert our own images to links before embedding them, and it did not integrate seamlessly with materials we published in Google Suite for Education. We were having further trouble with LessonPaths because it tends to crash regularly. Finally, and this was really what pushed us to make a radical change, Blogger included ad content to THE ANNEX@ sidebars. We had no control over the posted ad content and we decided that we need to rethink our packaging.
So this week, we switched THE ANNEX@ button on our navigation menu (see below) to a new destination.
Back in 2008, our first iteration of THE ANNEX@ was in Moodle, an open-source learning management system. Seeking a more transparent platform, we switched to Blogger in 2011. This time we are moving our content to LibGuides (by Springshare). In LibGuides, we preserve the transparency we wanted from Blogger. While the user experience is a little different than in LessonPaths, we still have the capacity to scaffold steps in our research guidance using tabs.
Here's the thing: we are starting fresh. It will take us some time to populate our new THE ANNEX@ as thoroughly as our old one. It will happen one project at a time over the course of one year. Each year, we enhance what is there, so after 5-7 years, it is pretty robust. Year one on the other hand, is a little sparse. Please be patient with us! It is important for members of our learning community to let us know if something is missing. We can be emailed at contact@nchslibrary.info or texted at (615) 669-6670.
We also wanted to share that the makerspace is being used across disciplines and grade levels for classroom projects. Below, you will find a screenshot of the makerspace schedule from December 14 and 15. During these two days alone, over 200 students collaborated with classmates on assignments for class. Several students chose to come back during "free periods" to continue their work.
In science, students collaborated to design and create a product for the NCHS Mineral Marketplace. As a culminating experience, ninth grade Earth Science students will have to "pitch" their creation to customers visiting the Mineral Marketplace.
After conducting a designer study in Fashion Design, students came to the makerspace to design a household item that reflected the designer's style.
For Global History, students created 3D, 2D, and/or digital plans that outlined a military strategy proposal to address the clash between Sparta and Athens.

Women with hijab face job discrimination, study finds strong evidence
July 25, 2022 - by admin - Leave a Comment

In a study published in European Sociological Review, researchers conducted a field experiment proving veiled Muslim women face public backlash from clients and customers when job-hunting in Netherlands and Germany.
To conduct the study, the researchers picked a set of candidates and filed two job applications for each of them. One was with a hijab, highlighting their religion through volunteering activities at a religious centre, and the other was unveiled with no affiliation to Islam.
The job postings required a direct client-customer-based service such as a hairdresser, shop assistant and sales representative.
In the Netherlands, in the applications in which no religious affiliation was made, almost 70% of jobs applied had positive feedback. But for applications with hijab-wearing photographs, the positivity rate was 35%.
Similarly, in Germany, 53% of unveiled Muslim women received positive feedback from employers, compared to around 25% of callbacks among veiled women.
"The high level of discrimination we found in the Netherlands, where the institutional context has traditionally been open to the accommodation of religious minority rights, is particularly surprising and points to the possible stigmatising effect of recent policies geared towards the cultural assimilation of immigrants," the researchers noted.
However, the level of discrimination in Spain against hijab-wearing women was almost insignificant.

Kenya Guide
Facts For The Visitor
Home to Elsa the Lioness
The Meru National Park is situated in central Kenya, about 320 km north-east of Nairobi. It covers an area of approximately 870 km², and is one of the wildest and most beautiful Parks in Kenya - consisting of hilly landscapes, green riverine forests, savannas overflowing with tall grasses, and lush swamps, which are fed not only by the abundant annual rainfall, but also by the 3 rivers that border the Park – the Tana to the south, the Ura to the south-west, and the Rojeweru to the east.
The vegetation can be quite dense in places, making game viewing exciting yet difficult at the same time, as you never know what may be hiding in the bushes!
A true wilderness, large areas of the Park do not have a road network at all, so you can only explore these areas on foot with your ranger. During guided walks, and day and night game drives in the areas of the Park where there IS a road network, visitors may be lucky to encounter large herds of elephants, giraffes and buffalos, or prides of lions and cheetah families hunting on the open savannas.
Gerenuks, zebras and ostriches can also be spotted, and the rivers are full of hippos and crocodiles. White rhino have been reintroduced into the Park, and their numbers are slowly but steadily increasing. Birders will enjoy the opportunity to spot any of the 300+ bird species that have been recorded here.
Meru is probably most famous, however, as being where Joy Adamson and her husband George raised and released their pet lioness, Elsa – the subject of the international best-seller 'Born Free' and the Acadamy award-winning film of the same name starring Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers. Following Elsa's death in 1961, the lioness was buried in the Park, and some of Joy's own ashes, following her own death in 1980, were scattered on Elsa's gravesite.
Despite this claim to fame, the Park does not attract a great number of visitors, so it is ideal for safari enthusiasts who want to enjoy a quieter yet still exceptionally good wildlife experience.
As the Park straddles the Equator, it has an all-year-round warm climate, with January to March being the hottest months.

Elsa's Kopje
Elsa's Kopje is named after Elsa the lioness, made famous by George and Joy Adamson's biographical book and film "Born Free". Elsa's Kopje remains one of the most elegant lodges in Africa, with 10 luxurious en-suite cottages crafted around the rocks.
Rhino River Camp
Situated on 80 acres of privately owned wilderness on the border of the extraordinary Meru National Park, Rhino River Camp is a collection of canvas cottages raised on wooden decks suspended among the trees above the Kindani River.

To no one's surprise, the city of San Diego and the Chargers missed a deadline set by Mayor Kevin Faulconer to agree on a new stadium that would keep the team from moving to Los Angeles.
The city and team had to strike a stadium deal by Friday to allow enough time for a measure to be put to voters on a Jan. 12 ballot. Faulconer wanted an election before an anticipated decision by league owners, potentially early next year, on whether to return a team to Los Angeles after a two-decade absence.
The missed deadline is a reminder of the wide gulf and acrimony between the city and team. Negotiations collapsed in June after only three meetings, and neither side suggests they will resume soon.
The city insists the team refuses to engage, which Chargers special counsel Mark Fabiani said was a narrative spun by "politicians looking to cover their own backsides." Fabiani likened the city's proposals to curdled milk because they look worse with age.
The Chargers and Oakland Raiders plan to jointly build a $1.7 billion stadium in the Los Angeles suburb of Carson, one of two proposals to bring the NFL to the nation's second-largest metropolitan area. St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke is part of a group planning to build a nearly $2 billion stadium in the city of Inglewood.
San Diego plans to make its case directly to NFL owners next month in New York. A move to Los Angeles would require approval of 24 of the 32 owners.
"We made it very clear that we wanted to achieve a special election, and (Friday) was the date we had to do that," Faulconer said. "The Chargers chose — that was their decision — not to engage in discussion. They broke them off some time ago. That has not deterred us."
The team contends that the city's plan to build a venue at the site of the team's existing home at the aging Qualcomm Stadium is deeply flawed. Fabiani said the Chargers worked 14 years on a new stadium in San Diego and that the city has tried only eight months, spending some of that time on a mayor-appointed task force that the team questioned from the start.
In May, the task force proposed a $1.1 billion stadium that includes contributions of $121 million each from the city and San Diego County. Negotiations stalled over a review required under the California Environmental Quality Act to address impacts including noise and traffic, which the Chargers say won't survive lengthy legal challenges.
The city produced its 848-page draft environmental review in August, an unusually fast turnaround.
"The quickie (environmental impact report) is more like curdled milk, which looks worse the longer it sits around," Fabiani said in email Thursday. "In short, the Chargers are unwilling to go along with the city's ill-conceived legal strategies."
Faulconer remained committed to a public vote if the two sides ever strike a deal, saying Friday that an election could be held next year in June or November. But Fabiani ruled out Chargers support for any proposal predicated on the same environmental review.
"If that's your foundation, then nothing will ever happen," Fabiani told a group of civic leaders Friday.
The Chargers say they will respect whatever the owners decide.
Councilman Todd Gloria, who parted with the mayor on spending $2.1 million for the accelerated environmental review without the Chargers' support, said the team's future was largely outside the city's control.
"We stay engaged, but it's hard to make a deal when you're at the table by yourself," he said.

Major challenges to fintech M&A
Reed Smith partner Herb Kozlov discusses the dilemmas and dangers involved in deals
What are some of the biggest challenges facing incumbent financial services institutions in addressing the rise of fintech?
Herb Kozlov: There is a great deal of divergence but there seems to be difficulty in integrating technologies into operations. A lot of acquisitions are wasted because companies buy a start-up and don't really understand the full implications of the implementation. It's not as easy as simply taking a system and replacing it out, especially with some of the more novel technologies acquired by older institutions. Utilizing those technologies can be more costly than first anticipated.
How should companies approach integration in order to make it a success?
HK: There are three common traits to successful integration. First, it does not start the day the deal closes but when you're exploring and getting ready to complete the transaction. If you wait until the deal closes, it's already too late. So it's important to be thinking about the integration early on, both strategically and how to achieve it in practical terms.
The second element is human capital — making sure that in an M&A transaction everyone is enthused, incentivized and their interests are aligned post-closing. If that team doesn't have the right incentives, or if they don't stick around, that's a serious problem. Thirdly, not every M&A focused on acquiring a product or service succeeds. The most sophisticated acquirers know that and they look at more than just the return on investment (RoI). They might acquire five technologies knowing that one or two of them will fail, but the only way to find out is to buy it and kick the tires as the owner, not as a consumer or customer. It's essentially an expensive test drive.
What can fintechs looking for a sale do to make that integration easier and make themselves more attractive to potential buyers?
HK: Number one is having regulatory and compliance expertise and, from the beginning, making sure that this is central to product and service development. That also needs to be touted. Buyers really don't want to take on anything that could be a liability, and will take comfort in their regulatory requirements being kept in mind from the beginning. That can be a struggle for tech companies, because they are experts at the tech and can underestimate the extent to which regulation can direct the technology itself.
If you're a fintech company and your strategy is to secure financing or an M&A exit, you have to know what problems you're solving. If you don't understand the industry you're trying to serve, the operators' pain points or what their barriers are to owning you or investing in you, you have no chance of succeeding. Otherwise you may build something that's a pretty toy, but it doesn't meet regulatory requirements or it creates more pain points for the bank rather than solving them. You've got 10 minutes to explain why they need your product, and if you can't do that it means you don't know the answer yourself.

USD Alum is Milwaukee Brewers Radio Announcer
MILWAUKEE -- Lane Grindle, who graduated from USD in 2004 with a degree in contemporary media and journalism (now called media & journalism), will sit alongside baseball legend Bob Uecker this season as one of three radio announcers for the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.
Grindle started his new job this spring after 10 years with the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers as an announcer for a variety of sports and a member of the sports marketing team. The opportunity to join the Brewers broadcasting staff came at a time when his wife, Ali, and four children -- ranging from an 8-month-old to a first-grader -- were young enough to make the move without much disruption.
"This was such a good opportunity that we thought this would be the last chance to make that jump and give the MLB thing a shot," he said.
Grindle will serve as the play-by-play announcer on Brewers away games when Uecker doesn't travel with the team, although he will get the chance to call some games alongside the baseball legend, he said. "This is a hall-of-famer, one of the best that has ever done it," Grindle said of Uecker. "I'd be lying if I said that wasn't part of the appeal to get a chance to work around somebody like that."
At 34, Grindle said he is one of the youngest major league announcers. He credits his experiences at USD with giving him a head start in the field. While he came to USD as a sprinter on the track team, he soon realized his talents leaned toward broadcasting and started working for Yankton's Culhane Communications in his junior year. Calling area high school basketball games for local radio affiliates evolved into sideline reporting for the Coyote football team and announcing the men's and women's basketball games.
"I was able to get so much hands-on experience while I was still in college that I got a jumpstart on my career compared to a lot of other guys," he said.
While his announcing experience spans a number of different sports, Grindle said baseball play-by-play sportscasting requires a more thoughtful approach. "Baseball is one of the most unique sports to call because there is a lot of down time," he said. "Some of the great announcers are able to tell a story while calling the game. You can really dive deep. The pace isn't quite the same as basketball or football, but it gives you the luxury to make the broadcast yours."


Washington, DC – Just days after President Obama joined the growing chorus of those calling for the Washington NFL Team to consider changing its name, the team's leadership justified the use of their "Indian" mascot as a central part of the team's "history and legacy." A new report released today by the National Congress of American Indians (NCAI), titled Ending the Legacy Of Racism in Sports & the Era of Harmful "Indian" Sports Mascots also outlines the team's ugly and racist legacy, while highlighting the harmful impact of negative stereotypes on Native peoples.
"The report NCAI has released today provides the history of an overwhelming movement to end the era of harmful "Indian" mascots – including the fact that Native peoples have fought these mascots since 1963 and no professional sports team has established a new 'Indian' mascot since 1964.
There is one thing that we can agree with the Washington football team about – the name 'Redsk*ns' is a reflection of the team's legacy and history. Unfortunately, the team's legacy and history is an ugly one, rooted in racism and discrimination, including the origins of the team's name. It is becoming more and more obvious that the team's legacy on racial equality is to remain on the wrong side of history for as long as possible.
The team's original owner, George Preston Marshall, named the team the 'Redsk*ns' in 1932, just months before he led a 13-year league wide ban on African American players in the NFL. Nearly 30 years after the race-based name was chosen, Marshall was forced by the league to hire the team's first black player in 1962. He was the last NFL owner to do so.
We've released this report and have a firm position on this issue because the welfare and future of our youth is at stake. We are working every day to ensure they are able to grow up and thrive in healthy, supportive communities. Removing these harmful mascots is just one part of our effort to encourage our children to achieve their greatest potential. We're focused on their future; these mascots keep society focused on the negative stereotypes of the past.
The report details a range of issues: the harm stereotypes have on Native Youth and the overwhelming support for ending harmful mascots by organizations, tribal governments, the NCAA, high schools, community groups, and individuals. The report also reviews in depth the well-documented legacy of racism in the Washington football team's history, including factual rebuttals to the Washington football team's false claims that NCAI leadership at one point endorsed the use of the "Redsk*ns" mascot.
The report points to the fact that harmful "Indian" mascots exist while Native peoples remain targets of hate crime higher than any other groups, citing Department of Justice analysis that "American Indians are more likely than people of other races to experience violence at the hands of someone of a different race." The report also reviews in-depth studies that show the harm negative stereotypes and "Indian" sports mascots have on Native youth. The rate of suicide is highest for Native young people at 18 percent, twice the rate of the next highest of 8.4 percent among non-Hispanic white youth.

ATS-400 Altitude Digitizer Test Set & Simulator
Test & Simulate Altitude Encoder Parallel and Serial I/O all in One Rugged Test Set!
The TCI Model ATS-400 is designed to test, display and simulate the output of Altitude Reporting Equipment, which conform to the ICAO Standard for SSR Pressure Altitude Transmission. In accordance with the U.S. National Standards for I.F.F. Mark X (SIF)/Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System SIF/ATCRBS. The ATS-400 will also display the output of altitude reporting equipment which transmit serial data in either RS232, RS422, RS485 or ARINC 429 Label 203.
The ATS-400 utilizes an advanced RISC microprocessor to display the output of these devices in both numeric and binary forms, with an input altitude data range covering the full ICAO code from –1000 to +126,000 feet. The ATS-400 may be interfaced with an IBM PC for cross-reference and two-way data communication if required.
The ATS-400 can also function in a simulate mode providing altitude data on the ICAO simulate port (connector J1) and RS232 altitude data on a serial data port (connector J4). In this mode, the test set will output altitude data beginning at –1000 feet, then ascend at 6000 feet per minute to 126,000 feet. The ascent may be halted at any altitude by depressing the simulate toggle. The ascending count may be resumed by depressing the simulate toggle again. The ATS-400 in simulate mode, provides the avionics technician with a known good ICAO altitude code source for testing altitude inputs to transponders, GPS, MFD, auto-pilots and other navigation devices.
The ATS-400 may be used in the aircraft or on the bench making this an extremely versatile piece of test equipment.
