New Orleans Saints: The one overarching reason why the Vikings will lose
by Jason Reed 1 year ago Follow @EatYourReedies
The New Orleans Saints have to play in the NFC Wild Card round despite finishing with a 13-3 record and host the Minnesota Vikings.
The New Orleans Saints tough the tough end of the stick in the playoffs this season as they were one of three NFC teams to finish the season with a 13-3 record and got relegated to the Wild Card round as a result.
Typically, a 13-3 record is good enough to get a first-round bye in the NFL playoffs. In fact, the only other team in the 2010s to finish with a 13-3 record and not get a first-round bye was the 2011 New Orleans Saints, which is rather ironic. Also ironically, the first two seeds in the NFC that season were the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers.
The Packers won 15 games that year while the 49ers won 13. The Saints got past the Detroit Lions in the Wild Card round and then lost to the 49ers in the Divisional Round. No matter what else happens, if the Saints move on, they will play the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.

The Saints will undoubtedly move on. And while the matchup against the Minnesota Vikings is dangerous, there is one overarching reason that will give the Saints the edge over the Vikings.
We could break down the entire roster from the safeties to the punter (and trust me, we will) but the one reason that we, and likely most football fans outside of Minnesota, keep gravitating towards is the fact that the Saints have a significant advantage at the quarterback position.
Football is a team sport without a doubt but the quarterback position is the most important on the team and as we see every single year in the playoffs, the quarterback position makes or breaks teams.
Kirk Cousins is a fine quarterback who actually had a fairly solid year but he also carries the stigma of not winning in big games and not beating good teams. Cousins is 0-9 in his career on Monday Night Football and has lost both playoff games that he has appeared in.
I do think this is going to be a close game because of the talent level of the Vikings and the great rushing attack led by Dalvin Cook, but there is going to be a point where Cousins is going to have to beat the Saints.
That won't happen. Meanwhile, when Hall of Fame quarterback Drew Brees is tasked to win the game for the Saints he will deliver and ensure that the team moves on to the Divisional Round.
Next: Michael Thomas is objectively better than Julio Jones
All the New Orleans Saints need to do in this game is contain the running game and put pressure on Kirk Cousins on passing downs. This is not a game where the Saints have to throw the kitchen sink at the Vikings, it is a game where they should be welcoming the other quarterback to try and beat them.

House judiciary panel will OK subpoena for Mueller report, chairman says
Nicholas Sakelaris
House judiciary committee Chair Jerrold Nadler said Monday the committee will vote Wednesday whether to subpoena the full Mueller report without redactions. File Photo by Kevin Dietsch/UPI | License Photo
April 1 (UPI) -- The House judiciary committee will vote this week to subpoena the uncensored final Russia report and evidence from special counsel Robert Mueller, the panel's chairman said Monday.
House judiciary committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler said Monday the vote will occur Wednesday and will demand the unrestricted release of the analysis -- one day after a deadline congressional Democrats gave U.S. Attorney General William Barr.
"Congress requires the full and complete special counsel report, without redactions, as well as access to the underlying evidence," Nadler said in a statement. "The full and complete report must be released to Congress without delay."
Mueller announced last week the report had been completed and Barr issued a four-page summary of the study -- prompting many to wonder what information in the nearly 400-page report was left out. The summary said the investigation didn't find a criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian agents to sway the 2016 election -- but it did not explicitly clear Trump of obstructing justice.
RELATED Trump talks Great Lakes, border, Mueller at Michigan rally
Nadler said he's disturbed by the reluctance to release the report and asked Barr to join the panel in seeking a judge's approval to release all grand jury information from the investigation.
In an op-ed for The New York Times Monday, Nadler called for the report to be made public.
"For nearly two years, the country has waited to read the report," he wrote. "Over those many months, President Trump has raged against the institutions that make our democracy possible -- among them, the free press, the courts and his own Department of Justice. When the special counsel indicted members of the president's inner circle, his attacks got louder."
RELATED Justice Department: Mueller report more than 300 pages
Nadler said relying on Barr, a political appointee of Trump, to determine whether the president's campaign colluded with the Russians "undermines the work and the integrity of his department." He added that redacting the report before it's presented to the House Judiciary Committee is "unprecedented."
"We require the report, first, because Congress, not the attorney general, has a duty under the Constitution to determine whether wrongdoing has occurred," Nadler said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Barr has been "condescending" and "arrogant" in how he handled the report.
RELATED House Democrats ask Barr to release full Mueller report within a week
"We do not need your interpretation. Show us the report," she said.
Several former White House aides will be subpoenaed also to see what they know about report.
Last week, Justice Department officials and Sen. Lindsey Graham said a redacted version of the Mueller report will be given to Congress and the American public in the coming weeks. Barr is reviewing the lengthy report to shield potentially sensitive information.

Home / The Rebrand
Why a rebrand?
If you've followed me since my Flower Crown Society days, thank you. I am so grateful you've chosen to continue following me as I navigate and pivot into this new brand. Flower Crown Society (FCS) began about 6 years ago as a fun hobby. It started as a platform where I could creatively express myself through fun accessories in the midst of mundane corporate life and to feed my inner desire to collaborate with others. I am forever grateful for the journey that FCS has led me on and the most wonderful human beings I have had the privilege of encountering and working with. My mission with FCS was to empower women to feel brave and beautiful while wearing one of my pieces. While the heart of that mission still exists in Heritage & Bloom, I now believe in adding a fundamental step to this approach: to be more introspective about our unique identity and to embrace ourselves on an inner level first. We can move confidently and gracefully in our future steps when we recognize and appreciate the path it took to get us here to the present. As I personally continued to grow and evolve, I knew I wanted a shift in my brand because, after all, it was an extension of myself. The dreaming, brainstorming, and longing for a new name took a little over a year, but it came to me just like when Flower Crown Society hit me: organically, perfectly, and with a touch of magic.
I remember the exact moment the name came to me. I was reading "If You Leave Me" by Crystal Hana Kim (I was on a Korean historical fiction kick). While reading about some of the historical events, I couldn't believe how little I knew of my own background and ethnicity. I faced negative emotions of shame and guilt, but I felt something that outweighed the two: conviction. I had kept the word "bloom" in my back pocket for the rebrand because if you know me, I LOVE flowers (more on that later but I can tell you my Korean name is "rose" and flowers have always held a special place in my heart) and knew I wanted to incorporate it into my new brand. The word "heritage" came to me while reading the book and I took the time to pause and put the two together. As soon as I said it to myself and then aloud to my husband who was reading next to me, it felt...right. Heritage & Bloom. It was a collaboration of the old and the new, the fundamental and the ephemeral. It called upon history and fanfared the history makers. It assured me that I had a story that started long before me, but that I was still writing my own. I loved imagining that through this new brand, I could commit myself to embark on a personal journey of cultural discovery that I could also invite others in and challenge them to do the same. Equipped with a desire to approach history with honor and respect and a boldness to reinterpret and re-imagine, Heritage & Bloom was born.

When The Track Ended, Lauryn Williams Jumped In A Bobsled And Did What No Woman Had Before
By Stuart Lieberman | March 25, 2016, 10:38 a.m. (ET)
To medal at an Olympic Games is typically the pinnacle of an athlete's career.
Lauryn Williams reacts after competing in the women's 4x100-meter at the London 2012 Olympic Games at Olympic Stadium on Aug. 9, 2012 in London.
To do it in two different sports, one summer and one winter, well, that's just icing on the cake.
Over the last 12 years, Team USA's Lauryn Williams had a cake with all the fixings as she became the first American woman to medal at both the summer and winter Games, and just one of five athletes in history to accomplish the feat.
Williams is a three-time Olympic sprinter on the track, having competed at the Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012 Games. She took silver in the 100-meter in 2004 and gold in the 4x100 in 2012 before switching over to bobsled, a drastic change for the University of Miami alumna.
Just weeks after announcing the end of her track and field career, Williams discovered bobsled through former teammate Lolo Jones, the Olympic hurdler who was going out for bobsled.
Williams jumped into a sled for the first time with Olympic medalist Elana Meyers Taylor at a rookie camp in August 2013, only six months prior to the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games. Her sprinting skills translated nicely to the sliding track, giving her an explosive athletic push on the sled that was hard to beat.
As a brake woman in Sochi, Williams powered to silver with Meyers Taylor in the two-woman bobsled race, finishing behind Olympic champion Canada by just a tenth of a second.
Elana Meyers (R) and Lauryn Williams make a run during the women's bobsled heats at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games at Sliding Center Sanki on Feb. 18, 2014 in Rosa Khutor, Russia.
Williams definitely etched her place in history, joining Eddie Eagan — a 1920 Olympic boxing champion and 1932 Olympic bobsled champion — as the only U.S. Olympic athletes to stand on the Olympic medal podium for both a summer and winter sport.
"The best part about being written into Olympic history is having accomplished it while working toward something completely different," Williams said. "I think the person who tries to make history and succeeds isn't as appreciative as I am. For me, it'd be an added bonus to my trying to help Elana achieve her goal and be a valuable addition to Team USA."
"I felt like I was in the presence of Jesse Owens when I watched Lauryn Williams come out of that sled," Jones, also a summer and winter Olympian, said when asked about Williams' feat. "I was so emotionally choked up. She just broke history; I can't believe it. It's just awesome. This was a good day for USA Bobsled; this was historic."
While Williams officially retired from bobsled in February 2015, noting she was exhausted as an athlete after competing professionally for over a decade, she will forever be remembered in the Olympic history books as one who paved the way for women with multiple passions and showcased that an athlete's career isn't over until its over.

What everyone should know about contractions
Contractions are part of pregnancy, but they can cause confusion and concern. What exactly are contractions, and how do you know if labour is approaching?
Contractions are muscle contractions of the myometrium, which increase in number towards the end of the pregnancy. They are the body's way of preparing for going into labour. The majority of expectant mothers already experience contractions during pregnancy, but some only have them right before delivery. Sometimes strong premature contractions can be caused by a urinary tract infection, for example.
"About 90 percent of women experience contractions during pregnancy. Just ten percent experience them only once they go into labour", says doctor Leena Rahkonen.
What do contractions feel like?
Each mother's experience of pregnancy is unique, and the same applies to contractions. Contractions during pregnancy are often painless and irregular but they can also be painful. Towards the end of pregnancy, contractions can shorten the cervix and open the cervical canal. There is no particular reason for why some mothers experience stronger contractions than others. Contractions can also be different for the same person during different pregnancies.
Marleena, who had her first child in March 2016, didn't experience strong contractions during pregnancy. Practice contractions resembled painless stomach cramps.
"Everything inside my belly skin went hard completely uncontrollably. I didn't know what real contractions felt like until just before giving birth", she says.
Practice contractions are often painless, but not always. Milla Anttila's second pregnancy wasn't without its problems. Painful contractions began already in the first trimester of her pregnancy and continued on a regular basis until delivery. Anttila also contacted the maternity hospital during her pregnancy due to the contractions.
"I was told to take a shower, take a Panadol and go to bed. And the contractions did indeed always stop after some time", Anttila says.
Lying down felt uncomfortable, but moving helped. Getting enough rest was also important.
When should you go to the hospital?
Although contractions are normal and very common during pregnancy, many mothers may feel worried about the sensations.
"Contractions are the most common reason why people visit the emergency unit. Still, very few mothers give birth prematurely", Leena Rahkonen says.
Premature contractions are only rarely a sign of going into labour, however. If contractions during pregnancy are accompanied by watery discharge, you should contact the maternity hospital's emergency unit.
The contractions preceding delivery can last for a long time before actual delivery begins. It may be more comfortable to wait for the start of labour at home. The main rule is that contractions preceding delivery are regular and intensifying.
However, the beginning of delivery is always different for each individual.
"Sometimes people have lots of contractions preceding delivery, even two weeks before it, and the delivery just doesn't want to begin", Rahkonen explains.
Milla Anttila's labour was eventually induced before the due date on the 39th week of pregnancy, because her blood pressure was high and the cervical canal had already slightly opened. She gave birth without anaesthesia and it was painful, but luckily it was over quickly.
For Marleena, giving birth was not as painful as she had expected.
"During pregnancy I heard that if you don't think you're going to die from the pain of contractions, then you haven't really given birth."
The delivery was surprisingly easy and painless, especially as she was expecting worse. She compares labour contractions to menstrual pain, and as delivery began the pain medicine helped.
"And I don't even have a particularly high pain threshold", Marleena says.
Read more about premature contractions (in Finnish) and going into labour (in Finnish) from the Terveyskylän Naistalo website.
The risk of premature birth can be determined at the maternity clinic with the Actim Partus test
Born into this world too early
When labour begins before the due date, it's normal for an expectant mother to be nervous and afraid. The journey towards giving birth is stressful and full of surprises, but the destination is all the more valuable.

Six important facts about water breaking
For some mothers, the water really gushes out during childbirth, whereas others experience trickling even weeks before the due date. After certain pregnancy weeks, water breaking prematurely is no disaster but it's worth keeping an eye on. Doctor Vedran Stefanovic, perinatologist at HUS' Women's Hospital, answers some important questions about premature water breaking.

Q: Typescript Interface for Recharts Custom Tooltip Being not well-versed with Typescript yet, I am trying to create a custom Tooltip content for my Recharts chart in my React app with Typescript. @types/recharts has already been installed as one of the a devDependencies.
However, when I define the CustomTooltip function as shown below, Typescript is throwing an error

Binding element 'active' implicitly has an 'any' type.  TS7031

How can we solve this issue?
const CustomTooltip = ({ active, payload, label }) => {
    if (active) {
        return (

{`${label} : ${payload[0].value}`}

Anything you want can be displayed here.

        );
    }

    return null;
}

return (
    <ComposedChart data={data}>
        ...
        <Tooltip content={<CustomTooltip />} />
    </ComposedChart>
)

Tried defining an interface, but got another error

Type '{}' is missing the following properties from type 'ICustomToolip': active, payload, label  TS2739

interface ICustomToolip {
    active: any;
    payload: any;
    label: any;
}

const CustomTooltip = ({ active, payload, label }: ICustomToolip) => {
    if (active) {
        return (

{`${label} : ${payload[0].value}`}

Anything you want can be displayed here.

        );
    }

    return null;
}

A: The accepted answer is wrong and will fail in projects where typescript is configured correctly and any is forbidden.
Use:
const CustomTooltip = ({ active, payload, label }: TooltipProps<number, string>): JSX.Element => {

Change number and string to your data types. You can also use it with the ValueType and NameType, but it makes more sense to declare it with your types.
const CustomTooltip = ({ active, payload, label }: TooltipProps<ValueType, NameType>): JSX.Element => {

A: Try to do the following (using rechart's types).
But keep in mind, that You have to add @types/recharts npm package ;)
import { TooltipProps } from 'recharts';
import {
  ValueType,
  NameType,
} from 'recharts/src/component/DefaultTooltipContent';

const CustomTooltip = ({
  active,
  payload,
  label,
}: TooltipProps<ValueType, NameType>) => {
  if (active) {
    return (

{`${label} : ${payload?.[0].value}`}

Anything you want can be displayed here.

    );
  }

  return null;
};

return (
  <ComposedChart data={data}>
    ...
    <Tooltip content={<CustomTooltip />} />
  </ComposedChart>
);

A: usually
TooltipProps<number, string>

but depends on you graph data, so generically
TooltipProps<ValueType, NameType>

A: Here's some code that may help people. I'm using typescript btw. I did this without an explicit interface, just an any type like so.
                `{
                    'time': item.DateTime.getTime(),
                    'data': 1,
                    'change_type': "some_string",
                }`

In your TSX, make sure to pass in undefined like so. The example on the website was fine without explicitly saying that, but my editor complained about some error. <Tooltip content={<CustomTooltip active={undefined} payload={undefined} label={undefined}/>} />
For CustomToolTip, this was tricky for me to understand. The payload has to have index of 0. Then call dot operator as there's a payload class there to access your custom properties like time, data, and change_type
    const CustomTooltip = ({ active, payload, label }) => {
    if (active && payload && payload.length) {
      return (

{`${label} : ${payload[0].payload.time}`}

{`${label} : ${payload[0].payload.data}`}

{`${payload[0].payload.change_type}`}

Anything you want can be displayed here.

      );
    }

    return null;
  };

Then it should pop up in correctly without any issues on hover.

A:

const CustomTooltip = ({
  active,
  payload,
  label,
}: {
  active: boolean;
  label: string;
  payload: {
    payload: {
      value: number
    }
  }[];
}) => {
  if (active) {
    return ( <
      div className = "custom-tooltip" >
      <
      p className = "label" > {
        `${label} : ${payload[0].value}`
      }
 <
      p className = "desc" > Anything you want can be displayed here.
 <
      /div>
    );
  }

  return null;
};

return ( <
  ComposedChart data = {
    data
  } >
  ...
  <
  Tooltip content = { < CustomTooltip active = {
      false
    }
    payload = {
      []
    }
    label = "" / >
  }
  /> <
  /ComposedChart>
);

A: It usually works for me,but other way could be:
const CustomTooltip = ({ active, payload, label }: any) => {

Child Born with Sickle Cll Anemia Now Leads Active Childhood
Jacksonville, Florida — Dec 14, 2015
Turod was only four months old when he began having complications related to sickle cell anemia, a blood disorder causing misshapen red blood cells that can decrease or block blood flow to parts of the body.
When Turod was three years old, he suffered a life-threatening lung-related complication of the disease called acute chest syndrome. Little Turod was rushed to the pediatric intensive care unit at Wolfson Children's Hospital.
However, because of the care he received from the physicians and team members, Turod made it through the crisis and has gone on to lead an active life. Before, he wasn't able to play sports because of his condition, but now at 10 he has played football, competes on a local swim team, attends summer camp and loves to skateboard, fish and build things.
Turod has been able to achieve many of his goals, and his family is grateful to Wolfson Children's and those in the community whose donations have helped make it a nationally recognized children's hospital.
Giving to Wolfson Children's
As the only not-for-profit children's hospital in Northeast Florida, Wolfson Children's Hospital relies on the generous support of moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas, and others who care deeply about the health and well-being of kids in our region.

Czech Republic: Prague: We walk across Karl's Bridge with Jacky and Jörg and go to a restaurant under the abutments on the far side. Like walking into a grotto. Who had sat in my seat in the past? I can't recall the food. The next day I find an art shop and buy a print of the bridge. It now hangs in my dining room and each time I look at it I am reminded of the restaurant, the castle up on the hill, and the artists working along the bridge.
Italy: Carrara: Cavi di marma loom, white marble glinting in the sun, the road narrow and twisty as we rise in our little rented car above San Pietro. At the end of the road, a small town — Colonnata —full of old men in the square, all with some visible disability (seemed like I was visiting some home/place for the disabled) ..found out they were all local, hurt in accidents from their mining work. A monument honoring the men and the marble stands at the edge of town. Intermittent dynamiting disturbs the quiet little town. How difficult must it have been without modern technology during Michelangelo's time!
Germany: Bergisch Gladbach: A small gathering at the home of Heinrich and Christiane Jarczyk celebrating Heinz's 70th birthday, several of the people "new" to us, apparently friends and neighbors who were outside his artistic circle. At one point during the evening, an elderly gentleman, ramrod strait and very formal, remarked to me in a clipped and precise Oxford-English, "You call him Heinz?" "Yes," I said somewhat lightly. "That's his name." The old man — I could picture him with a monocle and fencing scar — pulled back his head and said emphatically, "I know Herr Doktor Jarczyk for almost twenty years — and I do not call him (a slight hesitation here) 'Heinz'." I shrugged. "Well, I'm American, you see. We do not stand on such ceremonies. We are friends and he calls me 'Ray', and I call him 'Heinz'." I bowed slightly to his rigid glare and moved to take part in another nearby conversation. He did not deign to speak to me again for the rest of the evening.
Japan: Narita International Airport: On our departure flight from Japan to Beijing I was watching out my window as we taxied to our runway and noted a line of workers — baggage handlers? I was not sure, but they were all dressed in a white, work uniform — facing our plane and, as we taxied by, bowing deeply at the waist. I'd never seen anything like that and, to this day, do not know if it was a customary farewell to all airlines or was there perhaps some political VIP up in first class. Whatever, it was an extraordinary sight and strangely comforting to me as we took our leave.
Switzerland: Brenner Pass: While traveling from Germany to Italy, we passed some ski slopes and, I as I looked over at the Lodge at the bottom of the mountain, I noted a hospital nearby!!! How fitting! No wonder I never took up the sport!!
Germany: Ulm: a church steeple (the tallest in Europe) made of stone. From a distance, it looks like the finest of lace! How had those stonemasons performed this miracle? What artists they were! Did they impress God with their handiwork as He did them? And what did Einstein — who was born here — think of it? Makes one marvel at so many artists of today who make sure they sign their most trivial of "artworks".
Austria: Vienna: Visited, of course, the Hof, the Albertina (big disappointment!), the Winter Riding School, Schönbrunn and other "tourist spots", but it was a coffee house a few steps away from the Hofburg that I most remember: spacious, high-ceilinged, tables with ample room for waiters in black and white to glide between them, newspapers (none of which I could read) hanging from bamboo poles. It was midday yet most tables were occupied by readers and journal writers…a smattering of tourists like myself. I somehow felt the souls of departed novelists, memoirists, revolutionaries, poets, students, pamphleteers, professors, anarchists, and other disillusioned persons hovering nearby, looking over my shoulder and wondering why I was merely gawking and not writing.
Italy: Rome: Piero (Pier Augusto Breccia) takes us to a restaurant outside city limits: Rustic, ancient, overhead wooden beams hung with farm/hunting implements. The menu: wild game. Expecting wild animals, I was still surprised to see "Bambi" featured on the menu.
Germany: Bergisch Gladbach: It was May and not a time we usually go to Europe, but I was invited for a book discussion/signing for my monograph on Heinz (Heinrich J. Jarczyk: Toward a Vision of Wholeness) at Cologne's Amerika Haus so our Spring visit was a special one. What made it even more memorable for me, was a stroll down the street on which the Jarczyks lived, each side lined with flowering plum trees, all in full bloom and the sidewalks covered in pink petals. It was almost like walking down a "red carpet", the little town welcoming us as "super stars" from the U.S. A very nice memory indeed. (Note: I met Heinrich J. Jarczyk during his exhibition at the German Embassy in NYC and later wrote about him in ART TIMES; sometime later, I also wrote two books about his life and work. We visited (and became long-time friends) with him and his wife, Christiane, many times in Germany).
LET'S MAKE "GREAT" GREAT AGAIN!
WELL, HERE WE go again…some "visionary" wants to put his/her name on the world stage, engraving his/her name "in stone" for prosperity. We've been digging up such graven stones for some years now— even publicizing them in more modern ways such as "histories" written in print, for example — but the "posterity" business seems to constantly elude both givers and receivers of the message. In other words, the invariability of our having to re-live "history" because we 'forget' it. Would that our present-day pundits would read a book or two before declaiming their stupidities to the world at large. Such 'mouthers' — at times called "wise men", or "prophets", or "soothsayers" – even "oracles" — have plagued mankind for, lo, these many centuries, with their silly utterances. Oh, would that they pick up a book and read. Let alone our present "leader" and his proclamation of 'greatening' again (Oy! Another prophet! — Is that the sound of knickers twisting that I hear across the land?). Meanwhile we have to listen to another sooth-saying pundit announce to us that such proclamation sounds "Hitlerian"! Really! Read a book for gawd's (or, better yet, our) sake! If anything, it simply sounds redundantly and embarrassingly human! Centuries before that dim-witted Austrian yelled "Deutschland uber Alles"ˆ, ancient egoists had been chanting similar absurdities thousands of years ago…and their predictions ("proclamations", "warnings", "fantasies" "greatness" claims, even "Divinity" at times ((really bad times))…whatever)…were as valid then as they still prove to be—namely, nothing but bulls—t.
Dreams of former "greatness" will undoubtedly not only plague Putin, but scores of new blowhards as well. You don't think that Iran ever hearkens back to the Persian worldwide empire? Or Italy to its Roman Empire days? Or Greece (now one of the weakest/poorest members of the E.U.) to "back in the day"? How about France and the hey-day of Napoleon? Spain — when its tentacles reached across the Atlantic? Brits and their colonial "Empire"? And how about Native Americans and their attempts to hold sway over our blasphemous 'immigrant' pipelines? Let's not even talk about the "religions" and their claims of coming "on from High." Oh yeah! Let's make America "great" again! As one former would-be 'leader' once said, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'great' means" — or something like that.
How about we try this time to make our species "great"? That's never been tried yet. Instead of trying to make our tribe "great", how about we begin to make mankind great by learning something about our entire history? How about we take a long, hard look at that word "great" – or maybe even the word "human"?

The overall goal of this proposal is to verify and improve the drilled shaft design (in accordance with the load and resistance factor design (LRFD) framework) and construction procedures used in Iowa, using additional field data and sophisticated analytical methods. This project will use an expanded version of the DSHAFT database. In addition, based on the method proposed in Phase II, a dependable method for extrapolating the 0-cell Load tests will be established for clay, sand, and rock materials. The cost competitiveness of drilled shafts will also be compared.

Once upon a time there was a boy god named Eftar who had hair as dark as Coke Cola. He had a big heart and understood what others could not. His house was heaven and his family were all Gods.
One day the boy god Eftar was looking into the mortal world and saw a man rebuilding his home after a war. The man's name was Bart and he wanted to use solar panels to power his home. But the brothers who were helping him only laughed. "No! that is the craziest idea we have ever heard! We will use regular fossil fuel like gas or oil and coal to keep us warm!" said the brothers.
The boy god Eftar wanted to help Bart. That afternoon at six o'clock after the brothers finished making the gas tank repairs, Eftar sent an earthquake to the mortal world. The gas tank rolled all the way down the hill past a rock as it crashed and broke.
Eftar then sent a magical owl to warn Bart and the message read "tell your brothers that I, Eftar, will send an earthquake when they don't listen to your idea."
Bart shared the message with the brothers. They thought it was just silly stuff and put in another gas tank. Eftar sends another earthquake waking the brothers from slumber. They watch as the gas tank rolls all the way down the hill and spatters into a million pieces.
The next morning the brothers help Bart to put in the solar panels. The moral to this modern fable is: sometimes truth needs a powerful friend.
Beware of my icicle dance.
I cast my spell on you!
Live life without a care.
So I could fix it once again.
But I don't want to be a fake.
I'd never regret anything anymore.
Across the land in the African heat.
And freezing, not even warm!
In the centre of Peru!
From the force of the powerful wind.
My name is Raya Paws, and I am 12 years old, here is the story that helped save my mum. Here is a picture of my mum before the tragedy that occurred. Actually, this was the day before she got the scan. She always had messy hair and painted her lips with crimson paint and dressed uniquely, but she was still very pretty.
She was a good mum in many ways, she worked at home, painting, welcoming me home from school, encouraging me to write. But I was still a bit angry sometimes, she was very messy and has not bothered to go out finding a dad for me, I loved her though.
She pushed me away, after I calmed her down she eventually said, 'Hunee, I'll always love you, but you see, life is not perfect. I went to the doctors and they found a lump under my arm and it looks bad, real bad....It's cancer!' she started crying even more and even though I never cry, I found myself weeping.
I grabbed on to her but he shoved me to the ground and they disappeared and I couldn't stop crying.
When I woke up I cried too.
Mum slept all night and during the day, I sat cross legged at bottom of her bed, writing my story, I refused to go to school so I forged mums writing and wrote a letter from mum saying I was going on holiday and could you please excuse her and posted it to the school (it was the only way). Mum winced in her sleep, they were giving her this medicine and some of her hair was falling out.
Every so often I stood above mum and checked her breathing, just in case. Her beautiful hair all fell out in just a week. She said it would grow back after the therapy but until then she looked... different?
Mum got more active, she would sit up in bed, greeting me and waving me off to school. But when the therapy stopped after a long time she got ill. The people wanted to whisk me off to care, but mum insisted she'd hire a nanny for me. I hated other people looking after me because I was shy. But I went along with it.
The nanny hogged the TV AND the bathroom, so I read the paper for hours on end. I liked reading film and literature sections, and I came across something that made me very excited!
Are you a born writer? CAACC (Children and Adults Cancer Charity) are looking for young writers 7-15. Writing about you or a friend with cancer. Only 2 winners will be chosen and they will sell their book in hospitals and charity shops to raise money for CAACC! Submit your story in to the address below.
I was so excited! I looked for a new exercise jotter. (I had to go back to school but I never payed attention and nicked some jotters that I could write it)I wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote. I decided to show Mum but I had to creep up the stairs and paused for several minutes because the new Nanny forbid me to see Mum.
I read my story out to Mum, she laughed at bits but near the end she closed her eyes and tears slowly poured down.
'Mum, What's wrong, are you in pain?!?!' I stopped reading and comforted her.
We snuggled up together in the small bed, until I drifted off, Mum's arm around me. I submitted the story and they replied back saying thank you for the manuscript, check in the newspaper to see if I won or not.
A week after I got the letter I skimmed through the paper and there was my name!
Prudence Gillen and Raya Paws have won the CAACC book award and it will be published and sold and the money made will go to CAACC!
I didn't just gasp in amazement, I jumped up and down and cheered! I realized I had probably woke mum, but that was OK. I needed to tell her!
'MUM, look, I WON! WHOOP! THE MONEY MADE WILL GO TO YOU.' I bounced up and down on Mum's bed and she beamed with happiness.
She gave me a big hug when she finished reading. Her thick lovely hair is nearly back. The doctors and the nurses say that she has a good chance of surviving. My book and Prudence's made $300000!!!!
Maybe, when I'm older, I'll become a writer and donate half my earn to all charities around the world, maybe even more of it. When I write my first ever best selling book I'll obviously dedicate it to the best person in the world, whose going strong even after breast cancer...My Mum, Patricia Paws!
As it strolls along my sheet.
But she doesn't know that it's not me at all!
They always seem to laze about.
I know it's going to be the best!
A helping hand that cares.
I'm there to catch you.
When it gets too much, you cry.
The one that sticks by you.
Six days we travelled in our dark green car.
So I didn't complain and tried not to cry.
Still sometimes I wish we had never left.
Away from friends, so many who loved us.
I just keep my old home in my heart so dear.
A man walked up this morning.
Dressed all in green and red.
And the people swimming away.
A long time ago, far, far away in a town called Jellyboo, lived a little goblin called Noshington Well. Noshington was only about 15cm and had a little bald head. On top, sat a green, pointed hat with a yellow band around the middle of it. He also wore a green waistcoat with a yellow belt tied around it. He also wore little green trousers which hardly fitted him. Jellyboo had lots of houses, which were made of jelly. There were a few cottages but only certain goblins lived in. Noshington was one of them. His cottage had a little green and black thatched roof with a door the size of your thumb. Even Noshington the Goblin had to duck to get inside! It had one window and a tiny chimmney. In Jellyboo you could live for as long as you wanted! Noshington was 285 years old!
One day, Noshinton remembered that he had to go to the antique shop to buy his mother a birthday present. She would be 884 on Saturday so he was going to buy her a gift.
Noshington opened up his piggy bank with a delighted smile on his face.
'Mother will love what i am going to buy her!' Noshington said.
He found £736.78 in his piggy bank, which obviously would be enough. Off he went. He walked politely down the street. About ten minutes later he had arrived at the Antique shop. The sign on the door said 'OPEN' so Noshington strode inside. At the desk stood an old goblin, just a few centimetres taller than Noshington. He had a name tag on and it read,'Mr Biggs, Assistant Manager.' Noshington looked around. There was nothing that his mother would want. Glasses, ornaments, televisions, a wishing chair, some jewellery.
'Erm, how much is that wishing chair?' asked Noshington.
'The wishing chair is £697.50' replied Mr. Biggs, pointing to the label.
Noshington had enough money to buy it so he told Mr. Biggs that he would like to buy it.
Noshington woke up! It was Saturday! The big day. His mother's birthday! Noshington's mum lived in Ice Cream Valley which was 2 hours away from Jellybo. Noshington had an idea. He would sit on the magic wishing chair and wish for him and the magic wishing chair to be in Ice Cream Valley! I wish, I wish, I wish I was in Ice Cream Valley! There was a slight rumble and then as Noshington closed his eyes, he began to spin around. Noshington opened his eyes. Right enough, the chair worked. He was in Ice Cream Valley. But it was not like the last time. King Eldet was shouting through a megaphone to the whole of Ice Cream Valley. Everyone was staring at him.
'Can I have your attention please. Dragon Bones, the very wicked dragon as we all know, has stolen my crown. Anyone brave enough to get it back will be rewarded with one of my crowns with real jewels on it,' he bellowed.
Noshington could wish for Dragon Bones to bring the crown back! So he did.
'I wish, I wish, I wish that Dragon Bones will bring the crown back!' and at that very second, Dragon bones flew in to the town, blowing fire everywhere!
Noshington watched as Dragon Bones took the crown up to King Eldet and apologised to him for stealing it. EVERYONE cheered and danced and sung to celebrate because the crown was back. Noshington decided to make another wish.
'I wish, I wish, I wish mother likes the present!' Noshington stood still and wished that his wish would come true.
It was the chair that was speaking! Mum's birthday present! What was he going to do? Noshington thought for a while then he came up with a solution for his problem. He would tell his mother. She would understand.
So Noshington explained what had happened but mum wasn't angry with him. She understood what had happened. Noshington decided to move in with his mum and they all lived happily ever after in Ice Cream Valley.
P.S. Mum found a skateboard and that, she was happy about!!!
Just go away and make the sun smile.
Are dreams meant to be real? Or are they just fake? And why do we dream? Do we dream of better situations we hoped they had occurred in our past life? Do we dream about anything too spectacular? Do we even just dream?
Dreams are mixtures, composed by different chemicals. No one can modify that mixture and if someone actually does that, well, then dreams won't be the same for a while.
I could tell you tales about passionate couples or bewitched witches who lived alone for 300 hundred years. As this is supposed to be not a regular story, but a made up story about dreams and how to catch them.
There aren't any precise tools or instruments.There aren't people specialized in catching dreams.In fact,everyone can catch a dream while they sleep,as that every time you go to bed,you dream.
There are this extremely awkward intruments called dream-catchers. You stick them to the wall and they "catch" dreams. Just something made up. Because even that you think you didn't dream of anything last night,you always dream. Sometimes you just don't remember what your dream was like.
I used to have dreams about witches and princesses. Now I dream of things of my own age: problems I'm dealing with, trips, friendship or even my school crush... When we're younger, dreams are even dreamier than on my age.
One day my mum and dad had come back from the carpet shop. They had got me a carpet.
I sat on the carpet reading a book when the carpet started to move. It was a hot day so the window was open and the carpet went through it. It went higher higher into the sky. It went over the sea and landed on a island.
The island was very hot so I got some ice cream .Then I went looking for a shady spot when I tripped over something - it was half a treasure map. I picked it up and carried on looking for a shady spot. I sat under the shady spot and did my homework. When I had finished my homework I got up and went looking for the treasure.
When I found a sword on the floor I picked it up and then carried on walking. Not long after I had got the sword I found fifteen pirates. I got my sword and ran away as fast as I could. The pirates were really fat so they could not run fast and often bumped into each other. But I was not fat I was fast so I got away from the evil pirates.
Then I felt brave. I felt like I could kill all the pirates on my own. I went back to the pirates ready to kill them. I got my sword out and started fighting them. One of them tried to shoot a gun at me but I ducked in time. Then one of them got out a bow and arrow and tried to shoot it at me but he did it so quickly he did it the wrong way and killed himself.
And the groaning rats were outraged.
Where he stood for awhile to think.
And demolished as it came!
The deadly blade went whoosh and smash!
"And, have you defeated the mighty Jabberwock?
Come to me, my courageous boy!
He celebrated in his amazement.
Each and every one of us has our own definition of writing. Others may think that writing is an expression of emotions, while another may define it as a form of art. To me, writing is my voice. A voice when I am too shy or afraid to speak. It's like the blinds' ears. Instead of seeing, the blind hears. Honestly, I am a shy person and do not open up to people who aren't my close friends. Just like the blind, writing is my alternative for speaking.
For years, people have been using writing for battling against their enemies. A lot of Filipino heroes in the Philippines were known for their ability to use words as weapons. One of the most known writers that used his writing skills in the fight for our country's freedom is Dr. Jose Rizal, our national hero. Rizal was the founder of La Liga Filipina, which aimed for the defense against all violence and injustice of the Spaniards and the application of reforms. He wrote with pride and intellect and brought the Philippines a step closer to democracy.
Another example of a writer who used his writing skills in helping other people is Graciano Lopez Jaena - The Prince Of Filipino Orators. In 1874, Jaena wrote the satire, Fray Botod. In this literary work, he exposed the greed, laziness, cruelty and lust of friars. This infuriated the Spanish authorities in Iloilo and the friars. And some realized the inhumanity of what they were doing. Rizal and Jaena practiced their freedom of expression and used their talent in writing to fight against Spanish oppression.
That's what it's all about right? Using our God given talents for the good of humanity.
Why do I love writing? Well, aside from the fact that I get heard without actually opening my mouth, I think it's fun. I know it is strange and unusual because most teens my age think writing is boring and a waste of time. But to me, it's just like talking to a friend in a creative way. It lets my imagination run wild and sets loose the real me. Somehow, it's like the things I want to happen, (even though it's impossible) come true in another world - my sometimes black and white and most times colorful imagination.
It was Karan's birthday and all his friends had come.
His sister had gifted him a money plant - but Karan didn't like it much, but he said that he liked it. His mom kept the plant in a glass bowl on the tableside.
All Karan's friends gifted him toy cars and other fancy things and he was so excited to have them.
After some days of playing all cars and other toys broke - Karan started to cry. But then his mom came and told him all your fancy toys have got broken but your money plant didn't break or die - it is still fresh and alive. So, your plant will be with you now.
Thank you so much, sister, Karan said to his sister Ria.

WHO deplores 95% of vaccine doses limited to 10 countries
01/14/2021 Health News
The World Health Organization's European branch on Thursday said 95 percent of vaccine doses so far administered worldwide were limited to 10 countries and called for a more equitable distribution.
In terms of total doses the top countries are the US, China, the UK, Israel, United Arab Emirates, Italy, Russia, Germany, Spain and Canada.
"Collectively, we simply cannot afford to leave any country, any community behind," WHO's regional director for Europe, Hans Kluge, said at an online press conference.
Kluge said the WHO was working to get the vaccine to every country but, "it needs every country capable of contributing, donating and supporting equitable access and deployment of the vaccines, to do so."
According to website Our World in Data, over 32 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been administered so far.
In the WHO's European Region, which comprises of 53 countries and includes Russia and several countries in Central Asia, 31 countries have launched vaccination programmes.
But despite the start of vaccination campaigns the speed of transmission observed in some countries due to new more contagious variants, especially the so-called English and South African ones, was worrying, according to Kluge.
"This is a concerning situation," he said.
In the European region, 25 countries, including Russia, have recorded cases of the strain first discovered in the UK, and dubbed "VOC 202012/01".
"So far, we understand there is no significant change to the disease this variant produces, meaning the COVID-19 is not more, nor less, severe," Kluge said.
"At the same time, we are concerned for two reasons: This variant has a higher transmission rate. Secondly is the question of what does this mean for vaccines," Kluge added.
However, Kluge also stressed that there were still reasons to be optimistic.
Almost half of US adults who drink, drink too much, and continue to do so Exposing vaccine hesitant to real-life pain of diseases makes them more pro-vaccine Four types of people who really need to learn to say a simple 'no' Much of the world may not have access to a COVID-19 vaccine until 2022 Multivitamins 'of no benefit' to heart health

When my friend group eats at a restaurant, one of my friends almost always asks to be seated by an outlet. I'll admit that I have tanked an Uber driver's rating because she did not provide a charger in the car. Members of my family have paid nearly the cost of a second phone for a charging cases. Some of us have become so dependent on our phones that panic ensues whenever their battery level falls to a measly 50 percent. We've come to tend to their batteries like they are our babies.
We are so willing to shift, sweat, and spend to keep these phones alive. But, why? What is so scary about just letting them die?
I'm the friend whose phone is always dead and I can tell you it's liberating. Exhilarating, in fact. This habit started off as a result of poor planning (it doesn't help that Apple iPhones have some of the lowest battery lives in the smartphone game), but has continued, because a dead phone brings me peace of mind.
Does it annoy people that my phone is never on? Yes. Did I get grounded a few times in high school because my dad couldn't reach me? Yes. But I would rather neglect the phone in my back pocket than the person sitting next to me.
Or myself for that matter. The buzzes and bings make me feel like I am at the beck and call of others, and sometimes I only want to be responsible for myself. I want to immerse myself in my environment without anticipating interruption.
Aside from allowing me to enjoy my time more fully, a dead phone also makes the day pass less stressfully. For some, knowing they can contact and be contacted by whomever, whenever grants them a sense of security. For me, the constant presence of my contacts makes me feel less present and more anxious. I value the time I spend in person with people, and the beeps of notifications distract and detract from those conversations. Disconnecting enables me to focus on who is in front of me, instead of who's not.
I may not like my phone, but I still think I am addicted to it. The Do Not Disturb function silences it, but the notifications are still only a glance away. When I am studying, I often bring my phone to the library just to turn it off. But the temptation of checking how many Instagram likes I'm racking up or if that special someone has texted me yet today wears down what little self-control I have, and five minutes later, it's back on.
This petty need to check my phone makes me insecure. I don't like waiting on the next text or Snap to validate my relationships. I think my phone brings out the most immature parts of myself, and I resent it for that. When it's dead, it feels like a professor cancelling a precept last minute. I am so happy to have no choice but to invest in the moment.
People raise many objections to this point, but at Princeton, the main obstacle is the duo authentication system. I understand that the system is in place to protect our information, but I think it should be optional. I do not think anything on TigerHub or Blackboard is sensitive enough to prompt me to charge my phone and interrupt my day of zen. The OIT office rents students little duo pagers that can be returned any time before they graduate but, still, the University should allow students to decide to what lengths they are willing to go to protect their online accounts. Clearly, I'm not willing to go very far, and certainly not all the way to a charger. Princeton already limits phone use during Outdoor Action and Community Action trips for first-years. The University could further facilitate a less phone-focused culture by promoting the pagers or not requiring duo authentication.
With U.S. consumers reportedly spending up to five hours each on their phones every day, we may need to be forced to step away. And that is not to say that I don't view owning a smartphone as a privilege. I am thankful for all the ways that it does benefit my life. I would not want to permanently turn back the clock, and live in a time when a camera, a calendar, and the internet weren't all in our back pocket. I'm not saying people shouldn't use their phones or take advantage of the technology available to them, but we should be aware that we can function without it. And sometimes being without a phone is exactly what we need.

The Bond of Love by Kenneth Anderson
Summary of The Bond of Love
SHORT QUESTIONS
THE TEXTBOOK QUESTIONS
In this post, we will go over the summary of and discuss some questions about The Bond of Love by Kenneth Anderson.
The Bond of Love is a beautiful short story written by Kenneth Anderson. The storey is about an emotional bond of love between a sloth bear and the author's wife. The author was travelling through the sugarcane fields near Mysore with his friends. Suddenly a black sloth bear approached out of nowhere. So the author's companion shot her on the spot. Then they observed a baby bear making a mournful moan around the dead mother. The author put the young bear in a gunny bag, carried it to Bangalore, and presented it to his wife. She was happy and called it Bruno. Bruno soon became a member of the home. He became particularly devoted to the Alsatian dogs and the children of the tenants living in the home. He was left free in his earlier days and spent most of his time playing, jogging, sleeping, eating and drinking. As the months dragged on, Bruno grew bigger and bigger. But he was just as cheeky and playful. The author's wife enthusiastically began to nickname him Baba, a Hindustani phrase denoting 'small boy'.
When he got too big to be kept at home, the author, his son, and friends persuaded his wife to send Baba to the zoo in Mysore. She agreed, very grudgingly. Friends visiting Mysore went to see Baba in the zoo. They stated that he looked very skinny and depressed. After three months, the author's wife visited Baba. He recognised her immediately and howled with glee. When it was time to depart, she grieved severely and implored the curator of the zoo to send Baba back to her. The curator said she had to speak to the superintendent on this matter. She succeeded to convince the superintendent and thus he consented to give Baba back. A unique island was constructed for Baba in the author's compound. It was enclosed by a dry pit. Then coolies lifted the cage onto the island and Baba was released. The wife would land on the island by swinging on a rope which was fastened to the branch of a mango tree. The sloth bear and the author's wife were thrilled to be reunited.

Professor Robert Mair on The Life Scientific

Each week, Professor Jim Al-Khalili talks to leading scientists about their life and work, finding out what inspires and motivates them and asking what their discoveries might do for mankind. This week he talks to Robert Mair, Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Cambridge about his life as an engineer in academia and industry and world expert on finding innovative solutions to the problems of building tunnels under already congested cities.
He talks about his innovative technique of 'compensation grouting' which prevented Big Ben from tilting, and even cracking and coming away from the Houses of Parliament, during the tunnelling and 40m deep excavation for Westminster station which was the deepest in London and just 28 metres from Big Ben.
Robert chaired the report by the Royal Society and Royal Academy of Engineering, commissioned by the government, into the safety of 'fracking' (hydraulic fracturing), where water and chemicals are pumped, under pressure, into shale rock to release gas. The technique has hit the headlines amid concerns about the risks of its use causing earthquakes and contaminating water supplies. Robert explains why, with the best practice and strong regulation, the technique could be safely used in the UK.
He also talks about the latest work in the Cambridge Centre for Smart Infrastructure and Construction on smart sensors which can harvest their own energy. And when built into bridges, buildings or tunnels they could make sure the engineering projects of the future will be able to continuously monitor and report on their own safety.

Worldwide combined shipments of the automotive manufacturing Group totalled 1,301,000 units in the second quarter of 2018, up +6% primarily due to higher sales in the NAFTA and LATAM regions, despite a decrease in China.
FCA's adjusted net profit of was €981 million in the second quarter, down- 9% (flat at constant exchange rates), while net profit stood at €754 million, a -35% decline (down -26% at constant). FCA's adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the second quarter dropped -11% to €1.7 billion.
The drop in Chinese demand (-34%) ahead of a July cut in import duties impacted the results allegedly forcing the Company to offer higher incentives, particularly for the Maserati brand. Combined shipments in the Asia Pacific region was down primarily due to lower shipments from the China JV as a result of market decreases, particularly in the SUV segments, and increased competition from domestic brands in China, according to FCA.
In the U.S., FCA's market share reached 13%, up 60 bps year-over-year. The increase in shipments (+17%) was mainly attributed to the all-new Jeep Wrangler, new Jeep Cherokee and Jeep Compass, as well as the Dodge Journey, partially offset by decreased in volumes of Ram heavy-duty due to planned shutdown for retooling for the next generation mode. In LATAM, FCA was a market-leader in Brazil, with share up 80 bps to 18.4%, Argentina up 110 bps to 13.7%. Deliveries in the region increased +14% in the period.
The automaker registered a net industrial cash of €0.5 billion for the first time in the quarter, representing an improvement of €1.8 billion. FCA says it confirms its guidance for adjusted net profit in 2018. The remaining financial targets presented in the 2018-22 Business Plan remain unchanged, including doubling operating profit and a €9 billion investment in hybrid and electric cars.
On the same day FCA announced its results, CEO Sergio Marchionne, the man who returned Fiat and Chrysler back to profit, died at the age of 66 of 'unexpected complications' following a surgery.

A few weeks ago The Flux Capacity sent me a prototype of their new game, Voodoo Island. There are multiple modes of play in this little tile-laying game, but I was sent the rules for the 2-player game. So what did I think? I'm glad you asked…
Again, this was a prototype, so all of the descriptions/images/details will likely change.
The basic game pits one player as the patriarch of a family, who's trying to escape the island. Why escape? Because the rest of your family has been turned into zombies, and they're after you…
The game is for 2 players, and plays in 15-30 minutes.
22 Island tiles
4 Zombie tiles
1 Beach tile
4 Machete tiles
1 Zombie Control die
1 Explorer
Shuffle the 22 Island Tiles facedown and create four piles of 4, 5, 6, and 7 tiles. Then randomly add one of the four Zombie tiles to each of those piles.
You'll need to the Beach tile and the Explorer on the start space of the Beach tile.
The Gameplay
The Explorer takes turns until the first Zombie tile shows up. The Explorer can first move, any number of empty spaces, in a straight line–including diagonally. He can't move through jungle, or a zombie. If the Explorer moves, then placing a tile is optional. If the Explorer doesn't move, then he must place a tile. The placement of the tile will depend on where the Explorer is. There are three spaces on each edge of a Jungle tile. If the Explorer is on the middle space, then the tile has to be placed on that side of the tile, but if the Explorer is on the top or bottom space, then the tile can go on that side, or above/below depending on where the Explorer is.
If there's a choice as to where it can go, the Explorer has to choose where the new tile will go before looking at it. Once you decide, you can rotate the tile. You have to place the tile such that you can get to at least one previously placed tile.
If you draw a Zombie tile, you place the tile, draw a Machete tile, and place a Zombie figure on its side on the middle space of the tile.
Machete tiles are 2×2 tiles that can help you get out of a scrape. You can play it as part of your movement, and it can create an escape path for your Explorer, or slow down a zombie.
Once a zombie appears, then the other player can move them. First, he moves all active Zombies at least one space (if possible), and then Activates new Zombies that are one their side because they were just brought in.
Zombies can only move three spaces in a straight line. They also can't move through jungle spaces or through other Zombies. They can only enter one new tile per turn, and this includes Machete tiles. (Phew!)
After the fourth Zombie appears, then the player controlling them has to roll a die, and you might have to lie a Zombie on its side, or remove it from the game.
The Explorer wins if he places all of the Island tiles and returns to the Beach tile without getting caught, or if all of the Zombies are removed thanks to the die roll.
The Zombie wins if a Zombie lands on the Explorer, or the Explorer moves onto a Zombie, or the Explorer can't move, or he can't reveal all Island tiles, or the Explorer returns to the Beach before placing all of the tiles.
It's waking up!
This was an interesting tile-laying game. I played with a fellow gamer, and then again with my 9-year-old. It was a quick filler for the gamer, but my son liked it a fair amount. He was thinking through where he should play tiles, and once the Zombies came out, you could see him working through how to use Machete tiles to help himself and hinder me. He also saw some ways that he misplayed some tiles. It was all a great exercise for him on making good decisions.
It's tricky, because you want to leave yourself with some options and easy outs, but since Zombies can move the same way as you–if not as far–you don't want to leave it too wide open.
There's some luck when it comes to when a zombie comes out. Thanks to the distribution, you could get a Zombie on the last tile of one pile, and the first tile of the next pile. That would be rough. But it's a short game.
The only thing that felt a little "off" was the die that can cause you to "lose control" of your zombies. It's obviously a check on the power of the Zombie player once all four are out, but it feels awfully artificial. I understand that you don't want it to become impossible for the Explorer by the end, but it still feels game-y.
I only played one mode of the game; I have no idea what the other modes entail.
Overall, this was a good little tile-laying game. It's not terribly complex, and won't revolutionize the genre. But there are genuine decisions to be made, and I like that there are completely different goals for each side, rather than symmetrical gameplay, like so many abstracts. It reminds me a little of the old game Tally Ho in the sense that you're each going for different goals using the same board. It's not a brain-burner, but there's some thinkiness to it.
I enjoyed playing it, and you should consider checking out the just-launched Kickstarter to see what The Flux Capacity has in store for the rest of the game.

Making Stock Sales Less Taxing
Generally, patient investors prosper over the long term. Nevertheless, there are many reasons for selling stocks. Knowing the basics can help improve your tax position.
Selling shares held in a taxable account will trigger taxable capital gains or losses, unless the sale proceeds are exactly the same as your basis ― your cost for tax purposes. If you are making a complete sale from an investment position, the calculation of basis is fairly simple.
Example one: Joan Harris has owned shares of ABC Large Company Growth Fund in a taxable account for many years. In March 2019, she sells all of those shares for $42,000. Joan has invested $25,000 in those shares and reinvested $2,800 of dividends from the fund, so her basis is the total: $27,800. Thus, her taxable gain is the $14,200 difference.
Many fund companies will track purchases and dividend reinvestments for shareholders; the companies also will report the amounts of long-term and short-term gains (reflecting whether assets were held for more than a year), which are taxed at different rates. Not all fund companies provide complete records, so it is a good idea to keep careful track of your securities transactions.
Note that Joan will have a tax obligation even if she asks fund company ABC to move all of her money in ABC Large Company Growth Fund to ABC Small Company Value Fund. If this transaction occurs in a taxable account, a gain or loss will be reported.
Partial parting
The situation is different if an investor sells part of a position in a security.
Example two: Suppose Joan requests a sale of $20,000 from the large company growth fund out of her $42,000 holding. As noted in example one, Joan has invested and reinvested in those shares over a period of years. In this case, Joan can choose among multiple options for tax reporting.
First in, first out (FIFO). Assume that this fund's shares are priced at $20 on the date of the sale. Joan will be selling 1,000 shares; with FIFO, that would be the first 1,000 shares that she purchased. As long as fund company ABC keeps track, it will report the amount Joan paid for those 1,000 oldest shares. If Joan paid a total of $11,000 for those shares, her gain will be the $9,000 difference.
The disadvantage of choosing FIFO is that the taxable gain may be high after a long period of stock market growth. On the other hand, the entire sale may qualify as a favorably taxed long-term capital gain, if all the shares were held for more than a year.
Specific identification. As the name indicates, with this method the investor designates the shares to be sold. To sell 1,000 shares, Joan might indicate the 500 shares bought in January 2016 and the 500 shares bought in April 2017. Assuming those shares were those with the highest purchase prices, Joan may be able to reduce her capital gain or obtain a capital loss, which can provide tax benefits. This method requires careful record keeping, and you will have the burden of proving the basis in the designated shares at the time of the sale.
The preceding choices are available to all investors, whether they hold mutual funds or individual securities. Another method is available only to mutual fund investors and to investors in certain dividend reinvestment plans.
Average cost. With this method, you divide the amount you have invested and reinvested in a given fund, before a sale, by the number of shares you held then. If you choose this method, you must use it for all future sales of that fund's shares.
Example three: As previously explained, Joan calculates that she has put a total of $27,800 into ABC Large Company Growth Fund. At the time of her sale, she owns 2,100 shares, trading at $20. Dividing her $27,800 investment by her 2,100 shares, Joan calculates the average cost at $13.238 per share.
In our example, Joan sells $1,000 shares at $20, to receive $20,000. With an average cost of $13.238 a share, Joan's basis in the 1,000 shares sold is $13,238. By receiving $20,000, she has a $6,762 taxable gain. Note that some of those gains may be short-term if Joan has bought any shares in the fund within a year or less from the sale date.
Trusted advice: double category averaging
Another method, "double category" averaging (separate averages for long-term and short-term holdings), was used in the past. That option has been abolished.
Investors who were using the double category method for stock acquired before April 1, 2011 must figure basis by averaging together all identical shares of stock in the account on that date, regardless of the holding period.
This applies when an investor sells, exchanges, or otherwise disposes of that stock.


Vietnam Prosperity Bank, commonly known as VP Bank, is among the earliest establised Joint-stock Commercial Banks in Vietnam. Their goal was to become one of the 5 leading joint-stock commercial banks, and one of the 3 leading retail joint-stock commercial banks in Vietnam by 2017.
At the time, VPBank was spending its advertising budget for campaigns that had no clear conversion tracking, so it could not evaluate the ROI of the PPC campaigns and the number of credit card applications that PPC brought in. CB/I DIgital was brought in to run VP Bank credit card user acquisition campaigns with Google Adwords and Facebook ads, and ensure that reporting was accurate and informative.
CB/I reviewed the landing pages and installed conversion tracking code for both Google Adwords and Facebook, together with VP Bank internal tracking, to ensure we have a full understanding of campaign performance.
We applied our core strength of consumer insights, audience targeting and communications to create highly effective campaigns that generated excellent returns.
We surpassed the credit card application targets within 4 weeks of 8-week campaign, with excellent lead quality and low Cost-Per-Lead.
With the new Facebook format, were able to acquire leads at much lower CPA than the industry average.


After a week off from training to recover and grow my bulging mawscles, I'm back in action. I did a couple hours tonight from home. I was a bit over dressed but not bad. I can't wait for day light savings!!!! I'll actually come home from a ride in daylight. But there is something pretty awesome about night riding and something kind eary too. Especially when you're alone.
Before I start any ride, I check the wind. If I don't catch the weather report, I check flags on the way home. Real nerdy stuff but that's what ya do. But best to check weather.com before you head out or you might get caught in a wind change like RF and I did two weeks ago. 7mph on the way home. S-U-C-K!
Anywho, my route tonight was the reverse Bellevue Loop. It starts from midtown (where I call home) and then I take 32nd south to Vinton and then east to I think 20th (whatever bridge that goes over I-80 before the 13th St. bridge) From there passed Spring Lake Park, south on 13th. Usually I go through the hilly hood of Bellevue Blvd but today, after being off for a week, my legs were logs so I went for no hills and took Ft. Crook to Cornhusker and then went past Bellevue U and through Old Town Bellevue and then onto the trail. FYI, I'm a pro at locating porta potties. I can spot them a mile away. I always thank our good Lord for construction sites. So on this route, the porta potty is at the Old Presbyterian Church (and it's permanent) or in the parking lot at Haworth Park. Nothing like a good pee to get your spirits up in the dark. The trail was empty after passing a woman walking her dogs and a couple going for a stroll. With headlamp lighting my way, I got to see the hiding places of vermon and where the deer hang out. All their little eyeballs glowing in my light stream. I always hope one of those pair of eyes isn't a mountain lion or a crazy dog.
I only had a couple mile stretch into the wind before I turned west and the wind was at my back. My magic carpet for the night was my trusty Sycip hardtale. All steel with a Windwood carbon fork (thanks to RF). I didn't get any slicks this winter so I'm just riding on some pretty warn down Kenda's. So with the wind at my back and out of my ears, I could actually think about things other than wind. The night was cool and clear. The trail was mostly dry and no ice to be found! Spring is around the corner!
