NCHS falls to DeRidder
Story and Photo By Marco Clark
The Natchitoches Central Chiefs got off to a great start Friday night, Sept. 22, after scoring a go- ahead touchdown on the second play of the night on a 45 yard run up the middle by Tailback Trey Solitaire.
The run put the Chiefs up 7-0 and there was no other scoring until 18 seconds left in the first quarter. That's when with Chris Grant received a tunnel screen pass for 35- yards to put the Dragons on the score board.
The Chiefs blocked the extra point attempt with the Chiefs 7 and the Dragons 6. DeRidder scored again and made a 2-point conversion with 1:33 seconds left on the clock at the end of the first half pushing the Dragons ahead 14 – 7.
DeRidder would come out in the second half and take the opening kickoff 92 yards for a touchdown and extra point making the score 21-7. That was the final score since neither team was able to score again.
After the game Natchitoches Central Coach Tommy Moore said, " This game was a take of two halves. We didn't play or tackle well. During the second half I thought we could line up and run the ball but it didn't happen." but next week we will play a lot harder"!

On the job hunt, one of the most common pieces of advice is to tailor your resume to the job for which you are applying. That means using key words, revamping the layout, etc. When filling out a job application, the one thing you can count on every time is needing a resume. The challenge becomes standing out from the crowd based on a piece of paper.
As mentioned in the past, we have one shot to make a digital impression and that usually comes from your resume. If you have various mistakes on yours, then you are likely eliminated from consideration before even having the chance to speak with someone at the company.
According to our friends over at TopResume, studies have shown that a recruiter typically only spends six seconds before deciding one way or another on a resume. Not only does this show the importance of having a strong resume, but also how quickly people can make a first impression – digitally or in person.
As technology has advanced, so has the job application process. Instead of filling out a paper application and having to print your resume, companies now handle the entire process online. More often than not, a company's career portal will have an applicant tracking system (ATS) that scans and ranks your resume before anyone even sees it.
By using keywords that you find in the job description, the ATS can pick them up and help your chances of getting pushed through to the next part of the process.
When you incorporate the use of a professional title, your career goals are explicitly stated. TopResume says, "you might put 'Senior Accounting Professional' or 'Marketing & Sales Associate' right beneath your contact information." This shows the hiring manager what type of position you are seeking.
If the job to which you are applying prefers candidates to have an advanced degree, such as a Master's of Business Administration (MBA) then putting it after your name could be beneficial. If this is the case, the ATS the company is using might pick it up quicker than it would by not including the acronym. That said, you should still include this in the education section on your resume as well.
Anything that contributes to your personal brand can be included on your resume with your contact information. Common links are: LinkedIn, social media sites, a personal blog or online portfolio.
While it is encouraged to share these links, especially to further enhance your personal brand, it is important to keep in mind the type of job to which you are applying. If applying to a graphic design position, you should absolutely include a link to your online portfolio that shows examples of your work. As they say when it comes to writing, "show, don't tell," so by having physical evidence of graphics you have created in school or previous positions the hiring manager can see the type of experience you have. If you are applying to a job in social media, definitely include links to various platforms that show you are active and capable of managing an account.
Along the lines of "show, don't tell," by having certain metrics on your resume the hiring manager has tangible results to back up your claim that you have experience in a certain area. By including "Grew social media following by 35% up to 5,000 followers on Twitter through use of certain hashtags" instead of "Grew social media following on Twitter" the company can see how successful you were.
In the age of digital job applications, a company's first impression is usually based on your resume. With the use of applicant tracking systems, this can be done in about six seconds. Given how competitive the job hunt can be, especially now that you can apply to a job with just a few clicks of a mouse, standing out among the sometimes hundreds of other applicants is crucial. By including the aforementioned five things on your resume (remember to tailor it to each job!) you will have a better chance to move forward in the application process. If you need some additional help on revamping your resume, TopResume offers a free resume review.

Hillsborough is a very nice subdivision in Conway that began development around 2007. The affordable 3 and 4 bedroom homes were originally built with many extras such as fireplaces, cathedral ceilings, and screened porches, yet average prices start in the low $200,000's. Many have large lots and overlook a beautiful lake on the property.
R.S. Parker builders have expanded the community and are building new homes now as well. Aside from great amenities like a beautiful pool, playground and walking trails, the Conway location near Carolina Forest is away from traffic and is quickly becoming very popular.
The new homes offer 15 energy efficient, well laid out home floorplans to choose from in Hillsborough. Homes can have 3, 4, and 5 bedrooms. Sizes range from 1464 to almost 2000 sq ft. These homes are priced right as well - from just over $160,000 to just about $250,000 for the largest homes.
The city of Conway is 12 miles from the traffic of Myrtle Beach. It is one of the oldest towns in South Carolina, established in 1734. Seventeen homes in this city are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Conway takes pride in its history, and the downtown is very reminiscent of town centers from the 50's. There are small, locally owned restaurants, and an excellent live theatre with entertainers and actors performing Broadway shows and plays year-round.
R.S. Parker has been building quality homes for more than 2 decades with unmatched craftsmanship. With an emphasis on energy efficiency and convenience, Parker's floorplans improve with every new development. The homes in Hillsborough in Conway are no exception. If you are in the market for a brand new home or an established one in a growing community, keep this on your list of must-sees. Call us for a tour or more information on these fine new homes.

Usage
========

------
Filter
------

Logfilters in this case provide contextual information about the cluster platform.

To use a filter on a logger::

    import logging
    import clusterlogger

    logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)
    logger.addFilter(clusterlogger.HazelHenFilter)

Now logs are sent with contextual information of the specific cluster platform.

-------
Handler
-------

Messages are sent to Graylog using a custom handler for the builtin logging library in GELF format via TCP. For UDP use the `graypy package <https://github.com/severb/graypy>`_. Some clusters might not allow outgoing UDP connections.::

  import logging
  import clusterlogger

  my_logger = logging.getLogger('test_logger')
  my_logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)

  handler = clusterlogger.GELFTCPHandler('localhost', 12201)
  my_logger.addHandler(handler)

  my_logger.debug('Hello Graylog2.')

Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh.
Today, cities in the North and the South claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier.
A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were buried.
Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26.
North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day.
Gen. Logan's order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 "with the choicest flowers of springtime" urged: "We should guard their graves with sacred vigilance. … Let pleasant paths invite the coming and going of reverent visitors and fond mourners.

Rahul Gandhi attacks PM Modi; says even guards at PM's house will say 'chowkidar chor hai'
By: PTI |
Addressing a poll rally here in Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi also reiterated his allegations over the Rafale jet purchase deal.
Rahul Gandhi says even guards at PM's house will say 'chowkidar chor hai' (Agencies)
Stepping up his attack on Narendra Modi, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi Tuesday said even security personnel guarding the prime minister's official residence in Delhi may say the "chowkidar" (watchman) is a "chor" (thief). Addressing a poll rally here in Damoh district of Madhya Pradesh, Gandhi also reiterated his allegations over the Rafale jet purchase deal. "I can say with guarantee…if you go in front of the Race Course Road (residence of the PM) where personnel of CRPF, BSF stand with guns…and utter the word 'chowkidar' in front of them, they will respond by saying 'chor hai'.
"You go to Race Course Road in Delhi and try this..say 'chowkidar'..Probably the security personnel standing before Narendra Modi's residence would say, 'chor hai'," he said. The Congress president said such reply was a given "because the entire country knows that Modi has waived Rs 5.55 lakh crore of 15 persons in the country in the last five years".

Gandhi has been raising the "Chowkidar Chor Hai" (Watchman is a thief) slogan to target the PM whom he accuses of being cosy with select businessmen. He also alleged that the PM has given Rs 30,000 crore to businessman Anil Ambani through the "Rafale scam". "Modi has committed a theft of several lakh crores of your money," he said. Gandhi asked Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Kamal Nath to probe the "Bundelkhand package scam".
"The then UPA government (at the Centre) had given Rs 3800 crore for development of the Bundelkhand region, but nothing happened," Gandhi said. The Congress has been alleging irregularities in the Bundelkhand package which was released when Shivraj Singh Chouhan government was in power in MP. While six of the 29 Lok Sabha seats in Madhya Pradesh went to polls in the first phase on April 29, the other 23 constituencies will vote on May 6, 12 and 19.

Unless you have money coming out of your ears, you really need to set a budget for your wedding plans. A good budget will not only cover the wedding day itself but will include events leading up to and after your wedding day – beauty preparations, rehearsal dinners, honeymoon etc. These are often forgotten about.
As a couple, you need to decide what aspects of your Big Day are the most important to you and which are the least. It is likely that you'll both be contributing towards your wedding fund, so this way you'll both have agreed on how to spend your budget. If parents or relatives are contributing towards your fund, you need to be upfront and ask how much they're willing to contribute; only then can you start planning your day! Do not start spending until you have agreed your budget!
The best way to save money with your wedding plans is to budget properly and realistically – wedding planners can help you to plan a realistic budget as they know exactly what aspects to watch out out for and where you can make the most savings. Wedding planners use supplier regularly, therefore have the ability to get quality services at highly discounted prices and they pass those savings directly onto you!
Making your own decorations and stationery are not only very personal to you but they can involve lots of your friends and help keep the costs down. I love all aspects of DIY weddings because you can see how much fun the couple have had designing and making the decorations. Where possible hire items rather than buying them, there are some great pre-loved items out there at the minute. Always remember to ask if VAT is included on any service you purchase – an extra 20% on top will soon mount up.
Ten things you should never compromise when it comes to your big day – this doesn't mean you have to spend the earth; it means you're spending your money wisely. This is my opinion and I think it worked well for my day.
For me this is the most important aspect of your budget! Ensure your guests are well fed and watered and the day will flow perfectly. Leave your guests to go hungry and they could be grumpy. Your guests are a big part of your day and you want them to enjoy themselves. Your guests will always remember if you fed them well.
You need canapés after the ceremony, a good hearty meal and a decent evening offering for your evening guests. So often evening guests feel like an add-on and an afterthought. At my wedding I made sure all evening guests were greeted by me and my husband and we laid on some awesome, hearty food – they were very happy.
Your guests can make or break your day. This will be one of the first times in your life where you will know all of the people at the party. You'll be in high demand so only invite those people that you want to share your day with you. Don't feel pressured into inviting lost long cousins and aunties unless you really want too!
You and your hubby will wear your rings for life. We're talking roughly 60 years (current age dependent!) so you need to invest in a good quality wedding band that will stand the test of time. My husband didn't have a wedding ring so I took his share of the wedding ring budget – thank you!
You need to pick a place that you love because it will always be in your thoughts. When viewing your venue you should imagine your day there and it's important to overlook immediate décor and styling concerns because you will put your stamp on things. You need to check with your venue if you can change room layouts, if furniture is included, if you can hire in additional furniture etc. No question is ever too small to ask your venue and remember that marrying out of peak season or midweek can save you thousands of pounds in hire charges.
Your wedding day is very exciting for you as you're in the spotlight, so naturally you might not put much importance on your entertainment. Spare a thought for your guests. After the wedding ceremony, there can be a bit of waiting around for all the pictures so you ought to entertain your guests. Live music is the perfect way to bring a relaxed and fun atmosphere to your celebrations. You need an act that can adapt accordingly to the style of the day and have the ability to read people and when to bring the tempo up or down.
Always, always, always hire a professional photographer. I've been involved in weddings where friends have played photographer and it never ends well. Never. What you need to understand is the cost of photography isn't just for the coverage of your wedding day; it includes pre-shoots and the endless hours of editing afterwards. Always meet your photographer first to ensure you have similar visions.
Venue styling is all about putting your stamp on your big day. A great way of doing this is utilising the services of professional stylists to guide and support your vision as often you can end up purchasing too many supplies if you're a novice. Candles are a cheap but very effective way of creating a romantic atmosphere. I Adore Weddings offer superb consultancy opportunities.
Many people focus their wedding around the dress, I'm not saying this is wrong but it wasn't my priority. I had a beautiful dress which I loved and looked fabulous, and I made sure I shopped around to ensure I had the best dress to suit my budget. Always bear in mind that it is a big purchase for just one day so if you can make savings, do it!
You need a loving and supportive team of bridesmaids around because you will experience an emotional rollercoaster. Look after your bridesmaids because they will look after you. I was considered very kind to my bridesmaids because I allowed them to purchase a dress of their choosing as long as it was a particular colour to suit my theme. This was particularly useful as I had bridesmaids ranging from 13-30 and all different shapes, sizes, and heights.
You wear your shoes for roughly 12 hours. They must be practical, comfortable and pretty. Always wear your shoes in for a few weeks before your day, if you don't you will regret it!
Hopefully this information helps – Happy planning!


The trouble, says Paul, is that "some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame" (1 Corinthians 15:34). The real trouble with a man who is living a life of sin and who is not sanctified is that he lacks the knowledge of doctrine. That is his trouble: he does not know these things. And if you and I are not more determined than ever to "awake to righteousness" and to forsake sin, then the only explanation is that we do not believe the doctrine of the resurrection. And if we do not, we are yet in our sins and are destined for hell, and may God have mercy on us.
But that is not what the apostle wants you to feel. He wants you to say, "Therefore"—"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, unmovable." Let them say what they want to about you—stand on your doctrine like a man, unmovable, "always abounding in the work of the Lord," in your personal life and living, in your life in the church and in the whole of your life, "forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." The doctrine of the resurrection—what a stimulus to our sanctification!
Let nothing come between us and this mighty truth. This is life. This is everything.
A Thought to Ponder The doctrine of the resurrection—what a stimulus to our sanctification!
From Sanctified Through the Truth, pp. 152-153.

Suqia UAE opens registration for 3rd cycle of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award and adds a new category
The UAE Water Aid Foundation (Suqia UAE),under the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Initiatives,has opened registration for the 3rd Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award.
The award, with total prizes worth USD 1 million, aims to find sustainable and innovative solutions for water scarcity. Suqia has upscaled the award to include new technologies to produce, distribute, store, monitor, desalinate and purify water using renewable energy.
Suqia has added the Innovative Crisis Solutions Award to the three existing categories: Innovative Projects Award, Innovative Individual Award, and Innovative Research and Development Award. This encourages a larger number of research institutions and individuals to participate in the Award.
The Innovative Crisis Solutions Award is worth USD 20,000 and is allocated for small enterprises, research institutions and NGOs to innovate projects that can be deployed in emergencies.

Rod Stewart reveals battle with prostate cancer
Posted 11:03 am, September 16, 2019, by CNN Wire
Rod Stewart has revealed he has successfully been treated for prostate cancer after fighting the disease for three years.
The British music legend, whose hits include "Maggie May" and "I Don't Want To Talk About It," went public with his illness at a fundraising event for the Prostate Project and European Tour Foundation charity in Surrey, England on Saturday night.
Stewart, 74, told the crowd he was given the all-clear in July after being diagnosed with prostate cancer during a routine check-up in 2016.
"No one knows this, but I thought this was about time I told everybody," the father-of-eight said. "I'm in the clear, now, simply because I caught it early. I have so many tests."
He also urged other men to get their prostates checked regularly to ensure early detection of the disease and increase their chances of survival.
"Guys, you've got to really go to the doctor. Finger up the bum, no harm done."
Prostate cancer is the fourth most commonly diagnosed type of cancer worldwide, according to the World Health Organization, with 1.3 million cases in 2018.
While the condition is more likely to affect men over the age of 50, it can be diagnosed at a younger age.
Stewart's health revelation comes after British actor Stephen Fry shared his own experience with the disease.
The 62-year-old comedian and presenter is the latest celebrity to join the "Men, We Are With You" campaign by charity Prostate Cancer UK, which is aimed at raising awareness.
"A prostate cancer diagnosis is a scary thing — you never expect it's going to happen to you," Fry said in an interview on the charity's website.
"Thankfully, mine was caught early enough that something could be done but I know that it isn't the same for everyone."

Can bonding fix my receeding gums?
Actually, bonding may play an important role in the treatment of a receding gum line but only after evaluating for the possibility of gingival grafting has been evaluated for. Bonding alone will NOT stop the continued process of recession and will NOT correct the "elongated" tooth appearance that characteristically results from the gingiva receding away. By first providing a sound, biological barrier for root coverage as can be provided through the more advanced grafting procedures, the condition is actually reversed. Some of these techniques can actually be performed without taking tissue from the roof of your mouth.
Because more tissue thickness can result than what was originally present over the root, the likelihood of a complete reoccurrence is significantly reduced. Because gingival grafts are intended to adhere to the root surface of the tooth, notches in the enamel known as abfraction lesions may have to be corrected with a tooth colored bonding procedure in addition to grafting for the best overall result. The best initial step is usually for the patient to visit us for an examination to discuss options as well as realistic expectations as treatment recommendations can vary from case to case.

Рика́рдо Гу́сман Пере́йра (; 16 мая 1991, Монтевидео) — уругвайский футболист, полузащитник.

В 2014—2015 годах выступал за сборную Уругвая.

Биография
Гусман Перейра — воспитанних футбольной школы «Монтевидео Уондерерс». В основном составе этого клуба полузащитник дебютировал в 2010 году.

Перейра играл важную роль в молодёжной сборной Уругвая на чемпионате Южной Америки до 20 лет, который прошёл в Перу в 2011 году. На том турнире уругвайцы заняли второе место, пропустив вперёд лишь бразильцев.

Игрок продемонстрировал свой потенциал в чемпионате Уругвая 2013/14, в котором «странники» дошли до финала, а сам Гусман Перейра был признан лучшим полузащитником турнира, а по игровым характеристикам в Уругвае его сравнивают с Хуаном Себастьяном Вероном.

После того, как Перейра занял с «Уондерерс» второе место в чемпионате Уругвая, он перешёл в середине 2014 года в «Универсидад де Чили». С «У» Перейра стал чемпионом Апертуры 2014 года, а в 2015 году стал обладателем Кубка и Суперкубка Чили. 20 июня 2016 года было объявлено о переходе Гусмана Перейры в «Пеньяроль».

В ноябре 2014 года Гусман Перейра впервые был вызван в основную сборную Уругвая. Оскар Вашингтон Табарес вызвал игрока на товарищеские матчи против сборных Коста-Рики и Чили. Дебютировал Гусман Перейра в игре с костариканцами, выйдя на 68-й минуте на замену Николасу Лодейро уже при счёте 3:3. Поскольку игра проводилась за товарищеский трофей, была назначена серия пенальти, в которой сильнее оказались футболисты Коста-Рики (7:6), однако Перейра свой пенальти реализовал успешно. В матче против сборной Чили Перейра также вышел на замену, но на этот раз с самого начала второго тайма, при счёте 1:1. В результате «селесте» сумела одержать гостевую победу со счётом 2:1.

Титулы и достижения
  Чемпион Уругвая (2): 2017, 2018
  Вице-чемпион Уругвая (2): 2013/14, 2019
  Обладатель Суперкубка Уругвая (1): 2018

Seahawks Notes
Seahawks 53-man roster prediction 1.0: Preseason Week 1
By Danny Kelly Aug 10, 2015, 2:23pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Seahawks 53-man roster prediction 1.0: Preseason Week 1
Joe Nicholson-USA TODAY Sports
It's officially the NFL's Preseason Week 1, which means roster predictions are in order. I'm going to throw my Seahawks prediction 1.0 into the hat right now, with the caveat that this thing will change as the preseason goes on and we have a chance to evaluate some of the end-of-roster guys. I'll try to do one of these for each week of the preseason.
As I went through trying to construct this roster, it struck me how difficult some of these cuts are going to be. In my first edition, it pained me to put quite a few players on the outside looking in.
Note: I try to keep an updated Seahawks roster and some of the heights/weights are different than what the official roster will list. I base these on my overall guess at a player's weight and based on things that the coaches or players say in pressers/interviews. Bottom line, try not to get too hung up on those numbers.
Let's give this thing a try:
OFFENSE (25):
QUARTERBACKS (2):
QB1 Russell Wilson 5'10, 215
QB2 Tarvaris Jackson 6'2, 215
QB R.J. Archer 6'2, 220
Comments: Russell Wilson will start, and T-Jack will do coin-tosses.
RUNNING BACKS (5):
RB Marshawn Lynch 5'11, 215
RB Robert Turbin 5'11, 220
RB Christine Michael 5'10, 230
RB Thomas Rawls 5'11, 215
FB/DE Will Tukuafu 6'4, 285
FB Derrick Coleman 6'0, 245
RB Rod Smith 6'3, 231
FB Brandon Cottom 6'2, 262
Comments: This group is tough, and for the first time in a while, I could see the Seahawks run with five guys here.
When making this choice, I had an eye toward the future more than the present, because Marshawn Lynch will almost surely continue to get the bulk of the carries in 2015. There will be a battle for the backup role between Turbin and Michael, and perhaps Seattle will look to develop Rawls as a long-term potential type of guy.
Field Gulls on Facebook
Seahawks! •Seahawks!
Make sure you like us on Facebook to keep up with all the Seahawks action.
With Lynch's future in doubt (will he play next year?), Seattle will take the longer-term view for this position. Turbo has looked great in camp per multiple reports, and would be in line for a possible extension if Lynch retires. Christine Michael still has a year on his deal, I'm still bullish on him, and could legitimately be the true replacement for Lynch as next year rolls around. Thomas Rawls -- you just can't ignore the hype around this guy, so if the Seahawks like him, they better put him on the roster, because he will surely get sniped on waivers.
Bottom line, for a run-based offense, it behooves Seattle to cultivate the position with the long term in mind this year.
At fullback, I went with Will Tukuafu mainly because Derrick Coleman can't stay healthy in camp. I think the team loves Coleman and he's a key special teams guy, but if you can't count on him to play, it makes it tough to keep him on the roster. The perspective on this could obviously change in the next few weeks, but for now, it seems like Tuk is in the lead. He can also fill in at defensive end or tight end in a pinch, and I think the team likes his ability to pass protect on play action. He is, afterall, nearly the size of an offensive tackle.
WIDE RECEIVERS (6):
WR Chris Matthews 6'5, 230
WR Doug Baldwin 5'10, 189
WR Jermaine Kearse 6'1, 215
WR Tyler Lockett 5'10 185
WR Kevin Norwood 6'2, 200
WR Kasen Williams, 6'1, 210
PUP:
WR Paul Richardson 6'1, 183 [PUP]
WR Kevin Smith 5'11, 215
WR Deshon Foxx 5'10, 177
WR B.J. Daniels 5'11, 218
WR Ricardo Lockette 6'2, 211
Comments: I've got Seattle keeping six receivers out of the gate, while taking things slow with their 2nd round pick from last year in Paul Richardson.
Kearse, Doug, Matthews, and Lockett are locks in my mind. Past that, it's a jumble.
I think I've had the Seahawks cutting Ricardo Lockette for like... the last five years, and he never gets cut, so take my prediction here with a grain of salt. Regardless, he's a year older and his main contribution still seems to be in the special teams department. Will this be enough for a 29-year old player with one year of club control to crack the roster? We'll see.
Kevin Norwood is a wild-card here and while we haven't heard a ton about him in training camp this year, he strikes me as one of those sneaky guys that gets by with incredible consistency and dependability. We'll have to see how he does in the preseason -- can he make himself more important than Lockette? Overall, he's a solid possession style receiver that is known to be savvy in the scramble drill and effective blocking on the outside.
It's tough to ignore what Kasen Williams has done in practice (three touchdown catches today, per reports), and the Seahawks love guys with relatively unique skill-sets. Williams' size/speed combination is intriguing -- I think he's lost weight since he was first signed, and is probably more in the 205-210 range now -- and he has been dangerous down the sideline and has caught multiple touchdowns in scrimmage and practice situations. He's been known as a very good blocking receiver as well. So, if his terrible injury is finally behind him, Seattle could've gotten a steal in rookie free agency. I think it also speaks to the Seahawks interest in Williams that they moved Douglas McNeil to cornerback. These two things could be unrelated, but it struck me that there was a little redundancy going on with those two guys.
Bottom line? I think it comes down to a "pick two" out of Lockette, Norwood, and Williams.
Kevin Smith had been making some major waves before he got hurt, but he seems like a good practice squad candidate. I think B.J. Daniels may be out of practice squad eligibility, but it's not clear if he'd get claimed anyway. He may be a good "ghost roster" type, told to stick around Seattle in case the Seahawks have any injuries.
TIGHT END (3):
TE Jimmy Graham 6'7, 265
TE Luke Willson 6'5, 260
TE Rashaun Allen 6'5, 250
TE Anthony McCoy 6'5, 275
TE Cooper Helfet 6'4, 240
Comments: Now that Seattle has Jimmy Graham and Luke Willson as the one-two punch there, the third guy comes down to a battle between Helfet, Allen, and McCoy.
If only Anthony McCoy could stay healthy. McCoy is coming off of two straight training camps with torn Achilles tendons, so his shot at the roster was a little bit of a wild-card in the first place, and so far, he's missed significant time in practices due to a few minor injuries and to lightheadedness. At one point in his career, he was a great height-weight-speed option at the position, but that speed may be sapped due to the injuries he's sustained, so we'll have to see how he looks in game action.
McCoy has experience and has been in the Seattle system since college, so he has a real shot, but for me, he has to prove that he can be reliable as an every-day type of player. If he stays healthy throughout the rest of the preseason, he's got a real shot. If he doesn't, I think the team will go with a more reliable option -- in this case, either Helfet (who has been injured) or Allen (who has been healthy). Honestly it just came down to health for my pick here. It also doesn't hurt that Allen is more of a traditional type of blocking tight end, which the Seahawks may want to use from time to time (and Graham and Willson aren't really that type of player).
Another reality we could see here is that a player like Brandon Cottom, Will Tukuafu, or Garry Gilliam plays the role of the de facto third tight end, and the Hawks only roll with two at this spot.
OFFENSIVE LINE (9):
LT1 Russell Okung 6'5, 315
LG1 Alvin Bailey 6'3, 335
C Drew Nowak 6'4, 300
G/C Lemuel Jeanpierre 6'3 300
RG1 J.R. Sweezy 6'5, 320
RT1 Justin Britt 6'6, 325
T/G Gary Gilliam 6'6, 306
G/T Mark Glowinski 6'4, 307
G/C Kristjan Sokoli 6'5, 300
OT Jesse Davis 6'6, 309
OL Kona Schwenke, 6'4, 300
T/G Terry Poole 6'5, 315
OG Keavon Milton 6'4, 324
OL Will Pericak 6'4, 296
OC Patrick Lewis 6'1, 305
Comments: I've got the Seahawks keeping nine offensive linemen here, and this is another position group that is very hard to predict.
Garry Gilliam will be the swing tackle. It kind of sounds like Drew Nowak will win the starting job at center and Lemuel Jeanpierre may be pushed back to a backup guard/center role. It's likely that Alvin Bailey will start at left guard but if Mark Glowinski or Kristjan Sokoli look good in the preseason they could give him a run for his money.
Keavon Milton and Terry Poole are potential backups at the guard spots but appear to be just outside the bubble at this point. Jesse Davis and Kona Schwenke are good practice squad types.
Bottom line: This is a tough one. It wouldn't surprise me if the Seahawks also look to the waiver wire when final cuts are going down.
On to the defense.
DEFENSE (25)
DEFENSIVE LINE INTERIOR (4)
NT1b Brandon Mebane 6'1, 305
3T1b Ahtyba Rubin 6'2, 325
3T1n Jordan Hill 6'1, 305
3T D'Anthony Smith 6'2, 300
NT T.Y. McGill 6'0, 300
3T/NT Jesse Williams 6'3, 320
3T2b Jimmy Staten 6'3, 311
Comments: In my mind, Mebane, Rubin, and Hill are locks for the interior defensive line. Past that, it'll come down to a "pick one" out of the foursome of Smith, McGill, Williams, and Staten. I think the team likes Smith's versatility and style of play -- he adds a little bit as a pass-rusher but can also play on the nose if the Seahawks need him to. I think McGill is a practice squad candidate as a replacement for Mebane in the future, and I don't know enough about Staten to give a real opinion.
As for Williams -- it's a great story and I hope that he can make it back to the playing field, but he may not be ready in time to make the initial 53-man roster. Look for him to be a "ghost roster" type.
DEFENSIVE LINE EDGE (4):
LEO/DE Cliff Avril 6'3, 260
3T/DE Michael Bennett 6'4, 275
LEO Cassius Marsh 6'4, 255
DE/3T Frank Clark 6'3, 271
LEO Obum Gwacham 6'5, 245
5T/DE David King 6'4, 270
3T/5T Greg Scruggs 6'3, 280
5T/3T Demarcus Dobbs 6'2, 280
5T/DE Julius Warmsley 6'2, 285
Comments: With Bruce Irvin a hybrid between linebacker and edge rusher, the Seahawks may only keep four edge players this year, and the obvious four are Avril, Bennett, Marsh, and Clark. I think that Gwacham is a good practice squad type of guy, while Dobbs, Scruggs, King, and Warmsley will all battle to be the fifth edge guy if the team decides to stack their numbers there a little bit. The preseason will give us a little more clarity on this group, most likely.
LINEBACKERS (7):
OLB1 K.J.Wright 6'4, 246
MLB1 Bobby Wagner 6'0, 241
LEO/DE Bruce Irvin 6'3, 263
OLB2 Kevin Pierre-Louis 6'0, 232
MLB2 Brock Coyle 6'1, 235
SLB Mike Morgan 6'3, 226
OLB Eric Pinkins 6'3, 230
LB Dakorey Johnson, 6'2, 215
LB Quayshawn Nealy 6'0, 236
LB Tyrell Adams, 6'2, 228
Comments: Again, with Irvin partially playing as an edge defensive lineman, you could really consider this linebackers group as six-deep. But regardless, I think that the team will keep Mike Morgan and Eric Pinkins for their special teams ability/potential alone. Both have size and speed and provide depth at linebacker if necessary. I think that KPL is going to get snaps this year, filling in for Irvin and K.J. Wright in spots.
DEFENSIVE BACKS
CB1 Richard Sherman 6'3, 195
CB2 Cary Williams 6'1, 190
FS1 Earl Thomas 5'10, 202
SS1 Kam Chancellor 6'3, 232
NB1 Will Blackmon 6'0, 204
NB Marcus Burley 5'10, 189
FS/NB Steven Terrell 5'10, 197
SS/CB DeShawn Shead 6'1, 225
SS Dion Bailey 6'0, 215
CB Tye Smith, 6'0, 190
CB Tharold Simon 6'2, 205 [PUP]
CB Jeremy Lane 6'0, 190 [PUP]
FS Ronald Martin 6'2, 220
FS/NB Triston Wade 5'11, 185
SS Keenan Lambert 6'0, 209
SS Tyrequek Zimmerman 5'11, 213
SS Ryan Murphy, 6'3, 214
CB Douglas McNeil 6'3, 212
CB Mohammed Seisay 6'1, 202
Comments: The Seahawks have said that Tharold Simon is due back in a few weeks but I'm playing it conservative here and listing him as a PUP guy. In his place, I can see rookie Tye Smith making the roster as the fifth cornerback, adding depth on the outside and in the slot.
I don't feel super strongly about these picks though. I don't know if Seattle will attempt to keep two nickelback types in Blackmon and Burley, and I don't yet know who is superior in that role. It's looking like Blackmon has the edge, but Burley is younger and under club control for an additional season. Seattle could look to keep only one true nickelback and hope that Steven Terrell could fill that role if an injury to Blackmon/Burley were to occur. In that case, I could see Mohammed Seisay sneaking onto the roster as the fifth cornerback in this group.
I think that Douglas McNeil and Ryan Murphy make perfect practice squad candidates for this year, as do Triston Wade and Ronald Martin, both of whom the Seahawks have given good training camp reviews.
Dion Bailey has been the late addition to this group and has had an outstanding couple of practices recently, per all reports, so keeping him on the squad makes some sense from a depth perspective. However, I don't know that the numbers there (with five safeties) really makes much sense or not. I think the Seahawks like the versatility of Terrell and Shead enough (both could play cornerback, in theory) that this scenario could happen, but it also wouldn't surprise me if Bailey is cut.
Overall, this is a tough group to predict, and there's going to be a few guys that really hurt to cut.

Q: Prove that for every number that's not a prime, it exists a prime $p$ with $p\mid n$ and $p \leq \sqrt{n}$ For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, if $n$ is not a prime and $n ≥ 2$, it exists a prime $p$ with $p\mid n$ and $p \leq \sqrt{n}$.
How would I mathematically correctly prove this sentence? I've thought about using prime factorization.

A: We can assume that $n \gt 1$. If $n$ is composite, then it can be written as the product of two factors, $n = ab$ where $a, b \gt 1$. Since $a \gt \sqrt n$ and $b \gt \sqrt n$ implies $ab \gt n$, then at least one of $a$ or $b$ is less than or equal to $\sqrt n$. We can arrange things so that $a \le \sqrt n$.
If $a$ is prime,  then $p=a$. If $a$ is not prime, then it has a prime divisor, $p$, and $p \lt a \le \sqrt n$. The conclusion follows.

A: Let $p$ the smallest divisor $>1$  of $n$. Then $p$ is prime.
Indeed, if $p$ were not prime, it woulde decompose as $p=ab$, with $a,b>1$, and $p$ wouldn't be the smallest non-trivial divisor of $n$.
Furthermore, if $n$ is not prime, $p\le \sqrt n$.
This is because, as $n=pa$ for some $a>1$,  if $p>\sqrt n$, then $a=\dfrac np <\sqrt n$, and again, $p$ wouldn't be the smallest &c.

A: By definition, if n >= 2 is not a prime, there exists at least one prime p such that p | n.
The problem is to prove that there exists a p <= sqrt(n).
Suppose that, for all p_i, i = 1..k, primes which divide n, p_i > sqrt(n). Let v_i, i = 1..k, be n / p_i.
All v_i are integers, and are <= sqrt(n) (else p_i * v_i > n, absurd), and v_i divide n.
For any i = 1..k, v_i is either prime or composite; in any case, v_i, or its prime factors, are prime and < n, contradiction. This completes the proof.

A: Let $p_1^{\alpha_1} p_2^{\alpha_2} \cdots p_k^{\alpha_k}$ be the prime factorization of $n$. In particular let these primes be listed in order from least to greatest, that is, $p_1<p_2<\cdots<p_n$.
Then we can write,
$$ n = p_1^{\alpha_1} p_2^{\alpha_2} \cdots p_k^{\alpha_k}
    = p_1 p_2 \left(p_1^{\alpha_1-1} p_2^{\alpha_2-1} \cdots p_k^{\alpha_k}\right) > p_1 p_1 \left(p_1^{\alpha_1-1} p_2^{\alpha_2-1} \cdots p_k^{\alpha_k}\right) \geq p_1p_1 \left( 1 \right) = p_1^2. $$
Thust $p_1^2 \leq n $ and in particular $p_1 \leq \sqrt{n}$.

William Singletary, 65, Courageous Witness of Mumia's Innocence (tags)
"I learned from William Singletary's wife, Jeannette, that he died this morning. Bill was a courageous man who lived fighting to make the truth known that Mumia is innocent in the shooting death of police officer Daniel Faulkner. For that Bill suffered severe personal and financial consequences. I've known Bill since June 1990 when he came forward with his eyewitness testimony for Mumia and as a witness at the PCRA hearing in 1995, when I was co-counsel for Mumia." -Rachel Wolkenstein
FREE MUMIA! (tags)
The Echo Park Community Coalition (EPCC) scores the US Supreme Court for its ruling, however, it was not a legal decision; it was a political decision reaffirming the commitment of every arm of the state to permanently silence a prominent Black leader who has dedicated his life to challenging racism and oppression. The Third Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Mumia's conviction in 2008, but ruled that Mumia deserved a new sentencing hearing because the jury had been given flawed instructions. The Supreme Court's Jan. 19 ruling reverses that decision, sending the case back to the Third Circuit. The lower court can either let the death sentence stand or order a new trial to hear other claims brought by Mumia.
Mumia's Life Is On the Line: Mobilize Labor/Black Power to Free Him Now! (tags)
The threat to Mumia Abu-Jamal's life is increasingly ominous. His lead attorney, Robert Bryan, warns: "There is an escalated effort by the authorities to see him die at the hands of the executioner. This is the most dangerous time for Mumia since his 1981 arrest." The U.S. Supreme Court has turned down Jamal's two appeals. If it were to rule in favor of the prosecution's appeal, this would open the way for Pennsylvania governor Ed Rendell to issue a third warrant of execution, which he has vowed to do. Contrary to the misplaced expectations of many, the Obama administration is not about to save Mumia. Around the world, hundreds of thousands have marched for this courageous champion of oppressed. Trade unions representing millions of members have rallied to the defense of Mumia. It is urgent to expand this support into powerful labor/black action, appealing to the integrated union movement to join with the black, Latino and immigrant poor to demand that he be liberated.
Mumia Abu-Jamal faces US Supreme Court, as supporters mobilize globally (tags)
On Friday, Dec. 19, 2008, death-row journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal filed his appeal to the US Supreme Court, asking it to consider his case for a new guilt-phase trial. One month before, the Philadelphia DA filed its separate appeal to the court asking to have Abu-Jamal executed without a new sentencing-phase trial. Both are appealing the March 27, 2008 rulings by the US Third Circuit Court. At this critical stage in Abu-Jamal's case, supporters organized a week of global solidarity actions that began on December 6, the day of the main protest in Philadelphia.
Ruling Against Mumia Shows: No Justice in the Capitalist Courts (tags)
On March 27, the U.S. appeals court in Philadelphia reaffirmed the frame-up conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the former Black Panther Party spokesman and world-renowned radical journalist who has been locked up on Pennsylvania's death row for more than a quarter century. After previously rejecting Mumia's request to present evidence of his innocence, as well as a host of issues showing that he was railroaded by a racist court, the Court turned down Mumia's request for a new trial. It upheld the 2001 ruling by a federal district judge that ordered a new hearing on the sentence, but limited the "choice" to the living hell of life imprisonment without parole ... or execution. Mumia is innocent. He was declared guilty and sentenced to die because of his revolutionary politics and because for years he had been a thorn in the side of the racist rulers of the misnamed "city of brotherly love." Around the world, millions have come out in defense of Jamal. This latest ruling, like all those that preceded it, shows that the exploited and oppressed must have no faith in the racist injustice system. We call on the workers movement to mobilize its power to free Mumia now!

Somalilandsun – With the current Ebola outbreak facing countries in West Africa, the key message of Global Handwashing Day—that handwashing with soap can save lives—is more timely than ever. On October 15, hundreds of millions of people around the world will mobilize to promote the simple fact that handwashing is a readily accessible, affordable 'do-it-yourself' vaccine that helps prevent infections ranging in severity from the common cold to diarrheal diseases to Ebola. Handwashing with soap is a way for everyone to take health into their own hands.
Handwashing can also make a significant contribution to meeting the Millennium Development Goal 4 of reducing deaths among children under the age of five by two-thirds by 2015. Every year, 1.7 million children do not live to celebrate their fifth birthday because of diarrhea and pneumonia. These diseases cause almost 5,000 childhood deaths every day, according to UNICEF, and the simple habit of handwashing can significantly reduce the risk of contracting these illnesses, by almost one-half in the case of diarrhea and by nearly one-quarter for acute respiratory infections.
The theme of this year's Global Handwashing Day is 'Choose Handwashing, Choose Health.' "When you wash your hands with soap, particularly before handling food, and after using the toilet, you are choosing to look after your own health, your family's health, and even your community's health," says Dr. Layla McCay, Director of the Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing Secretariat. "No matter where you live in the world, handwashing helps prevent the spread of illnesses." By keeping people well, it also reduces absences from school and work, contributing to a healthier, wealthier society.
Global Handwashing Day represents a mass mobilization in support of handwashing to both raise awareness about this important global health issue and to catalyze action. This year, a brand-new Global Handwashing Day advocate joins in the celebrations. Raya, a six-year-old girl Muppet from Sesame Workshop, lends her voice to the cause. "It's wonderful that so many people are helping make the world cleaner for everyone, especially children. I make sure all my friends know to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water after using the toilet and before eating. Washing hands helps keep families healthy and happy!" In Nigeria, eminent artists Sunny Neji and 2face Idibia have recorded songs spreading the message that handwashing can stop the spread of disease. In India, the Madhya Pradesh government and the Madhya Pradesh Technical Assistance Support Team (MPTAST) are launching an attempt to have two million children wash their hands simultaneously, thus breaking the current Guinness World Record. These represent just a few of the events that will involve an estimated 200 million people globally.
The momentum generated extends far beyond October 15. In many countries, Global Handwashing Day has been the impetus for organizations, governments, and schools to emphasize handwashing and hygiene behavior change throughout the year. This trend is set to continue in 2014 as these organizations make renewed commitments to handwashing by observing Global Handwashing Day.
Global Handwashing Day was initiated by The Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing (www.globalhandwashing.org) on October 15th 2008, mobilizing 120 million children in 73 countries across five continents to wash their hands with soap. Today it is endorsed and commemorated by governments, international institutions, civil society organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), private companies, and individuals around the globe. In 2013, Global Handwashing Day celebrations were held in 108 countries and over 200 million people participated in events.
The Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing aims to give families, schools, and communities in developing countries the power to prevent diarrhea and respiratory infections by supporting the universal promotion and practice of proper handwashing with soap at critical times.
For more information, or to set up an interview with a hygiene expert, contact Hanna Woodburn, Deputy Secretariat Director for the Global Public-Private Partnership, at +1 202-884-8398 or hwoodburn@fhi360.org.

'Urban Nutcracker' gives Black dancers a chance to learn, grow and shine
By Gillian Anne Renault, ArtsATL
Now that pandemic lockdowns are over, Theresa Freeman-Howard is ecstatic. Ballethnic Dance Company, she says, is back with "the real hard-core, real-deal magic of 'Urban Nutcracker'."
Now in its 29th season, "Urban Nutcracker" is a much-loved holiday tradition in Atlanta's African American community. For many years, it was Atlanta's first "Nutcracker" of the season, entertaining audiences the weekend before Thanksgiving. In 2021, the company performed a pared-down version at a venue in Alpharetta. This year, it will present the ballet Dec. 9-11 at the Martin Luther King Jr. International Chapel at Morehouse College. Freeman-Howard will perform the role of Mother Johnson, as she has for many years, and is coaching some of the performers.

Whenever and wherever it's presented, "Urban Nutcracker" gives Black audiences a unique, highly relatable take on a ballet that was first performed in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 1892 and which, in most white companies, still reflects a European sensibility. It has also given generations of young Black and brown dancers an opportunity to be part of a community and learn life lessons as well as arabesques.
"Urban Nutcracker" was choreographed by Waverly T. Lucas II, co-founder and co-artistic director of Ballethnic with Nena Gilreath. It is set in 1940s Auburn Avenue and features characters that company member Karla Tyson says Black audiences immediately recognize: the greedy party guest who takes food home; the guest who drinks too much.

The Reggae Ragdolls, the Black Russians, and Brown Sugar and her Chocolatier, known in many white productions as the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince, also signal to Black audiences that this production is about, and for, them.
"It's a cliché, but representation matters," says Tyson, who for the 10th year will perform Brown Sugar.

"'Urban Nutcracker' has a homey, humble feel to it but it's also a professional production that people pay to see every year," says former company member Laila Howard, Freeman-Howard's daughter. "It's a beautiful representation of what Ballethnic gives to the world."
Tyson and Howard danced alongside each other for many years as children. Tyson began her "Nutcracker" career as a Baby Doll at age 5. Howard, who back then was "a scared little girl," started a couple of years later. They shared the lead child role of Sarah for two years running.
As they grew up and became technically accomplished dancers, they were cast in more substantial roles each year. Howard has performed almost every role from the Rat Queen to the sultry Arabian variation and the coveted Brown Sugar pas de deux. Tyson was first cast as Brown Sugar in 2004, when she was 16.
"Karla was and still is the star," says Howard, "and she knows every step, every count in the ballet. It's important for us to have steady, committed individuals like her who maintain the level of technique from season to season."
Now they are both giving back, the Ballethnic way. Tyson is rehearsing the teenagers who dance on pointe, while Howard, who now owns a yoga business, is wrangling the children in the Act I party scene.
Says Gilreath: "To see these two ladies grow from children to mature women and give back to the art is very special. I rely on them and trust their decision-making. It's nice for me to be hands-off, knowing they know the integrity of the ballet and are invested in it."
Gilreath and Lucas have been teaching and presenting ballet in Atlanta's African American community for more than three decades. They launched the company after careers with Dance Theatre of Harlem, the Black ballet company founded by Arthur Mitchell and Karel Shook in 1969, at the height of the civil rights movement.
Paunika Jones, a principal dancer with that company in the 1990s, is guesting with Ballethnic this year as the Snow Queen and the lead in Waltz of the Flowers.
Ballethnic's focus on creating a family in which each generation is nurtured and encouraged is a huge part of its strength as a community arts organization. "We are always trying to keep ballet alive and get a new generation of dancers to carry it forward," says Tyson.
"Urban Nutcracker" is a key part of this mission. If just one young person is inspired by the production, Tyson says, it's worth it. "It can show people an opportunity they maybe didn't think they had. They might be inspired to take classes in ballet, or acting, or anything else in the arts."
Joining them behind the scenes is Freeman-Howard, who each year since 2005 has trained seniors from the H.J.C. Bowden Senior Multipurpose Facility to portray the joyful, occasionally tipsy, Act I party guests. "Waverly loves the intergenerational component," she says.
A mother of five and grandmother of six, Freeman-Howard began her Ballethnic journey in 1990, first as a parent, then as an instructor and guest artist. She too has seen generations of young dancers perform in "Urban Nutcracker," taking on more technical roles each year. She says Gilreath and other instructors excel at developing the dancers' positive attributes, encouraging them to grow both as artists and as people.
Freeman-Howard is an assistant professor at Kennesaw State University and an instructor of African dance at Emory University, but this time of year her focus is on "Urban Nutcracker," where she sees dozens of children come together as a team alongside her seniors. They learn to collaborate, she says, and take on new responsibilities, getting prepared for bigger roles in the coming years, growing with the company the way Tyson and Howard did.
This year, Gilreath and Lucas have cast two new Sarahs in "Urban Nutcracker." They are both 12 years old. "They remind me of the work ethic that Karla and Laila exhibited," Gilreath says. "It's invigorating to see the past, present and future all in one room."

Q: What is happening when a new sandbox is being activated? Just out of curiosity. I understand that there is a "copying" phase when creating sandboxes. But what does "activating" mean? The most recent activation took 12 hours. As a techie, I am wondering what on earth it is doing that takes so much time?
Edited: made more specific about the activation of new sandboxes. Added the final duration of activation.

A: So far the information about activation of sandbox i have found is this:

Activating a replacement sandbox that was created using the Refresh
link deletes the sandbox it is refreshing. The current configuration
and data are erased, including application or data changes that you've
made.
Click the Activate link only if you don't need the current
contents of the sandbox. Your production org and its data aren't
affected.
New sandboxes that aren't activated within 30 days are
deleted. We send at least two email notifications before we schedule
the sandbox for deletion.
Users who have created or most recently
refreshed any sandbox for your org receive the notifications.

For more information on sandbox you can visit this link  Sandbox Setup Tips and Considerations
There is an idea here to Activate a Sandbox immediately after Refresh.


One of the great usage of an iPhone is reading emails on the go, both POP, IMAP and Exchange push.
One feature I would really like to see on the device is a View All Emails. I have a number of email accounts I check on the iPhone and it is a pain when I get an alert as I have to search around for the new email when there are a number of unread mails in the accounts.
