LAPORTE — These faces brought to life in artwork are not what heroin addicts are often assumed to be.
They also illustrate those who died from using heroin are not merely a statistic, but they were human with a wide variety of emotions and loved ones just like everyone else.
"Their lives mattered," said Debbie Spurling, director of development for Frontline Foundations, which operates faith based outpatient substance abuse treatment centers in LaPorte and Chesterton.
"You can just see the people through the eyes and the smiles. It is very impactful," Spurling said.
A moving gallery called Faceless Epidemic was unveiled Friday and plans are to take it to other places to raise awareness.
Presently, the gallery of nine portraits of deceased heroin users is at the LaPorte clinic, which opened last year at 605 Michigan Ave.
All of the images were painted or sketched and the people depicted, including a brother and sister together in one portrait, were from LaPorte and Porter counties.
Listed above each portrait is the first name of the person and the years they were born and died.
Jodi Lawrence showed up to view the portrait of her daughter, Lynsey, whose image was captured from a picture of her on the beach during a family vacation in Florida a year or two prior to her death in 2012.
Lynsey, who grew up in Westville, was taking college level courses at 16 and studying architecture and interior design at Indiana University-Purdue University in Indianapolis when a heroin addict enticed her to try it, said Lawrence.
A year later, she was dead at 25.
''It was the guy that she met that she trusted who talked her into it and that happens so often to so many people,'' Lawrence said.
The gallery on Aug. 5 will move to 7th and Franklin streets in Michigan City for the monthly First Friday event showcasing the revitalized Uptown Arts Districts.
It's scheduled to be at LaPorte City Hall during the week of Aug. 8 and Bethany Lutheran Church in LaPorte on the week of Sep. 11.
Other similar venues are being sought to showcase the gallery through the rest of the summer and fall.
Faceless Epidemic is the brainchild of Tasia Stockstill, a LaPorte native moved by a story on the radio about a woman who dealt with the grief of losing her daughter to heroin by drawing a portrait of her then later others who lost their lives to the drug.
Stockstill contacted her professional artist friends whose stunning creations were based off the pictures of victims presented by their families.
The frames were custom made by clients at the clinic as part of their therapy.
Surprisingly, perhaps, Stockstill has never known anyone using heroin but simply acted upon the emotions in her heart for the pain she can only imagine experiencing.
"So many people are doing things to bring awareness to the community. I thought this would just be another way to do it and show who these people that we're losing," said Stockstill.
Frontline Foundations started in 2007 at Valparaiso.
Since expanding to LaPorte in May of 2015, that clinic has seen about 70 clients, said Alan Grecula, director of clinical services for the treatment center.
Grecula said things have gone well but people knowing the center is there and that it's more than just a methadone clinic has been a challenge.
"We have room to grow. We know there's a need for it," he said.
Heroine is deadly epidemic and the Church of LaPorte County is trying hard to partner and address the issue head on. Share your story when you get a chance.

Wow! That is absolutely fantastic. I think we should all feel proud that this really important recommendation has been published. It will make a great difference to the progress and outcomes of many children.
In October 2013 The Whitehouse Consultancy announced that its pro bono client for the next 12 months was to be Action Cerebral Palsy (ACP), a consortium incorporating ten of the leading specialist centres working with children with cerebral palsy across the UK. In their first meeting with Whitehouse, ACP mentioned that a significant problem in the progress and outcomes of many children with cerebral palsy (CP) is that once a child has their CP identified in a health setting, parents often do not know where they can go so that their children receive crucial educational advice, guidance and intervention to be put in place before the child starts school. ACP explained that health professionals were able to offer advice on the medical interventions that child may benefit from, but not the educational support that had the capacity to transform children's lives.
The problem was that when a parent has a child identified with complex developmental and/or sensory needs such as cerebral palsy, usually their only point of contact was with health professionals such as GPs and health visitors. Education and health services for young children are not joined up, so health bodies did not need to be aware of the educational support available to children, and health professionals too often did not advise parents about the non-medical support their child could receive because they were not required to know this information. This problem went all the way to the top, with the Education Secretary himself telling his Opposition counterpart last month that he did not need to answer questions about health professionals because it was not his responsibility (see transcript below).
From that first meeting with ACP, Whitehouse identified an opportunity. The Department for Education (DfE) had introduced reforms earlier that year to transform special educational needs provision for children and young people, which aimed to make health and education services more "joined up". The DfE was consulting on the guidance for how those reforms would work in practice, the draft SEN Code of Practice, which did not include any obligations for health bodies to let parents of children with complex needs know about the educational support in their area. Whitehouse also worked with several other clients with interests in this area, including The Communication Trust and Communication Matters – which support children and young people with speech and language difficulties, such as children with CP.
In their respective responses to the DfE's consultation on the draft SEN Code of Practice, Whitehouse recommended to Action Cerebral Palsy, The Communication Trust and Communication Matters, that they ask the Department to introduce a recommendation that health professionals should be obliged to know this information so they can support parents of young children with complex needs. All three organisations included this recommendation in their responses and Whitehouse supported these organisations' effort to lobby the DfE to make this change. The DfE was naturally wary of the introducing a recommendation over professionals that it does not have responsibility for, while the Department of Health itself has historically been very reluctant to place obligations on health professionals to know certain information as they believe the respective Royal Colleges should set standards for health workers.
Where complex developmental and/or sensory needs are identified at birth or in the very early years through regular health checks, which mean a young child under compulsory school age has or will have SEND, the health body must inform the parent, discuss it with them, and let them know about any voluntary organisations that are likely to be able to provide advice or assistance. This includes the educational advice, guidance and intervention to be put in place early and before the child starts school. The health body must also draw that child to the attention of the appropriate local authority, who must then consider whether the issue is sufficiently complex and long term that an EHC plan assessment is appropriate.
It was a case of a good argument being made through the appropriate channels by a chorus of voices that led to a policy that will transform children lives. Education and voluntary and community service providers now may legitimately approach their local NHS and insist that they let parents know about the services they provide for young children with complex needs. This will mean that parents can ensure that their children receive crucial support that they may not otherwise be aware of.
Below is shows you a transcript of the problem we overcame, showing the Department for Education's reluctance to take responsibility over the requirements of health bodies only a month ago.
House of Commons, Oral Answers to Questions to the Secretary of State for Education, Mr Speaker in the Chair.
The Tories might laugh at the impact that health visitors have on early-years education, but the Opposition think that the early years are vital… Will the Government's commitment to 4,200 new health visitors be matched this Parliament, or is it another broken promise, like Sure Start centres?
The early years are indeed very important. That is when children often learn to spell. It is important that the Secretary of State can tell the difference between education, e-d-u-c-a-t-i-o-n, and health, h-e-a-l-t-h. Responsibility for health visitors, like responsibility for doctors and nurses, is for the Secretary of State for Health, and I suggest that the hon. Gentleman addresses those questions to my right hon. Friend.
The Education Secretary thought it was so absurd that his Labour Shadow should ask him questions about health professionals that he mocked him for it because it was not his responsibility. This response epitomised an institutional intransience that together we were able to overcome.

Q: Angular express.js CORS I am using express 4.1.0, and angular 1.2.12.
My client-code looks like this:
$http.get(data_url + '/stickers.json')
.success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    // do stuff
})
.error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    console.log(status, config);
});

I have done all the correct express stuff, as far as I can tell:
var express = require('express'),
    app = express();

app.use(function (req, res, next) {
    res.set('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
    res.set('Access-Control-Allow-Methods', 'GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, DELETE');
    res.set('Access-Control-Allow-Headers', 'X-Requested-With,Content-Type,Accept');
    next();
});

app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/webroot'));

app.listen(process.env.PORT || 5000);

I also tried cors module.
I am running my client-app on localhost, port 8000. The remote file is on heroku.
In all cases, I get this error in the console:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://<URL>/stickers.json. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost:8000' is therefore not allowed access.

When I access http://<URL>/stickers.json directly and look at returned headers, I see these:
Access-Control-Allow-Headers:X-Requested-With,content-type
Access-Control-Allow-Methods:GET, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, PATCH, DELETE
Access-Control-Allow-Origin:*

Update:
If you'd like to look at it, I made a codepen, and a new heroku app with above server code.
Weirdly, it works fine, so now I am really confused. I think it must be express, because it stops working when I swap the URLs.
Update 2:
If I run the codepen with the URL from localhost running the original code, it also works.  It must be something funny with heroku.

A: I got it!  it needs to be http://*.herokuapp.com/, or it redirects. I was using *.heroku.com.

Lake Manyara National Park consists of a large lake surrounded by extensive marshlands, hills and the escarpments leading up to the Rift Valley wall. It filled with distinctive vegetation due to its unique geological characteristics. The hills support hardy acacia trees as well as the unearthly Baobab trees. The extensive marshland attract a variety of birds including pelicans and flamingo. During their main season, the flamingo turn the lake in to a seething mass of pink. The park also boasts a number of free climbing lions, as well as the bigger game of elephants and giraffes.
This park makes an excellent one or two day stop on the way to the Serengeti or Ngorongoro Crater.
Accommodation is either in a lodge or in camp sites. The main camp site we use is pleasant facility just outside the park gate.

The central commander of the Israeli army issued an order, on Thursday, banning the Palestinian governor of Jerusalem, Adnan Gheith, from interacting with a number of Palestinian officials, according to WAFA correspondence.
Under the order, Gheith must not interact or directly or indirectly communicate with a listed set of Palestinian government officials, most of them based in the occupied West Bank.
This comes two weeks after Israeli occupation authorities issued an order banning him from entering the West Bank for six months.
Gheith was summoned by Israeli intelligence for interrogation at the Moroccan Compound in Jerusalem, where he was informed that he was banned from entering the occupied West Bank for six months, at the order of the so-called Israeli military central command.

Налог на общественные туалеты ( — дословно «мочевой налог») был введен римским императором Веспасианом (17 ноября 9 года — 24 июня 79 года). Туалетным налогом облагалось содержание и посещение общественных уборных, которые римские граждане использовали не только для отправления естественных надобностей, но и для общения.

Необходимость как можно быстрее пополнить казну государства после только что закончившейся гражданской войны заставила Веспасиана вводить самые разные налоги и жестоко карать за попытки уклониться от их уплаты, что давало римлянам повод для злословий.

NAPA plans advice for the president on federal initiatives
By Frank Konkel
John Kamensky, senior fellow and associate partner at the IBM Center for The Business of Government, chaired the Managing Big Initiatives effort.
The National Academy of Public Administration will host the release of a series of post-election recommendations regarding large-scale federal initiatives, improved performance from federal agencies and managing partnerships between the public, private and nonprofit sectors on Nov. 9 at 10 a.m.
The recommendations, part of a joint project between NAPA and the American Society for Public Administration called "Memos to National Leaders," will be delivered at NAPA headquarters, located at 900 7th St. NW in Washington, D.C.
The three memos are titled "Managing Big Initiatives," "Improving Performance" and "Managing Public-Private Partnerships."
"Every president winds up facing some sort of large-scale initiative he or she is going to confront," said John Kamensky, who chaired the Managing Big Initiatives memo. Kamensky is a Senior Fellow and Associate Partner for IBM's Center for The Business of Government.
"What we did was look at 50 years of big initiatives presidents have faced and categorized them, figuring out what kind of strategies need to be put in place for all those kinds of big initiatives to be effective," Kamensky said. "We're recommending the president, incoming or continuing, to identify in advance of a big initiative a cadre of senior executives capable of working across agency boundaries so the president has a talent pool to draw on."
Kamensky cited three types of big initiatives presidential administrations have faced in the past, including unexpected large-scale initiatives like the cross-agency response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005, planned initiatives like former President Bill Clinton's National Partnership for Reinventing Government and big science initiatives like the International Space Station.
Mark Pisano will present recommendations outlined in the Managing Public-Private Partnerships memo at the event as well. Pisano chaired the memo, and is a Senior Fellow at the
University of Southern California's Price School of Public Policy. Recommendations will include short- and long-term strategies for improving those partnerships.
Don Moynihan, a NAPA fellow and professor of Public Affairs at the La Follett School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, chaired the memo titled "Improving Performance" and will present recommendations directed to push federal employees and agency leaders to take performance management more seriously.
Moynihan said the most promising performance management systems would be incorporated under Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA) of 2010.
"The argument in our memo is [that] the focus should be on implementation (of GPRAMA)," Moynihan said. "If we add new policy in this area, it will just confuse matters more. We want to engage Congress and get federal employees to use performance data in their jobs."
Additional featured speakers for the 90-minute session include G. Edward DeSeve, President of the Global Public Leadership Institute and former Special Advisor to President Barack Obama for Recovery Implementation, and Hon. Robert Shea, Principal and Public Sector Director at Grant Thorton and former Associate Director for Management at the Office of Management and Budget under President George W. Bush.
Frank Konkel is a former staff writer for FCW.

Prompt Pay Act: Arizona legislature overrules S.K. Builders decision
New law will return Arizona's Prompt Pay Act to the customary understanding of the 30-day payment cycle.
In an early 2019 decision, in S.K. Builders, Inc. v. Smith, the Arizona Court of Appeals ruled that Arizona's Prompt Pay Act did not apply to a contractor's monthly pay application that included items not supplied within "the preceding thirty day billing cycle," even if the owner failed to timely object or pay the contractor. The Court also held that it was the responsibility of the contractor to prove that labor and materials contained in a monthly progress pay application were actually furnished within the preceding 30 days.
As a result of lobbying efforts by industry trade groups, on April 29, 2019, Governor Ducey signed S.B. 1397, which had the effect of "legislatively overruling" the S.K. Builders case. In fact, the new law specifically states that "the purpose of the change ... is to make the legislative original intent clear and to overrule legislatively the S.K. Builders decision."
When it goes into effect on August 27, 2019, the new law will return Arizona's Prompt Pay Act to the customary understanding of the 30-day payment cycle that existed prior to the S.K. Builders case. Contractors can continue to assert prompt payment act claims for all invoices that are submitted within the 30-day interval yet remain unpaid.

Great new vet clinic! Clean, friendly, and professional!
Animalife Veterinary Center is the best! From start to finish my experience was wonderful! The staff is knowledgeable and courteous. I would highly recommend this location.
We are new to the area an did not have a local vet. You were highly recommend via a Facebook post. Able to be seen same day. Convenient location. Clean facility with friendly and professional staff. Highly recommend & very satisfied with your services. Keep up the good work!
Dr. McLean is wonderful with my cat. She has a very calming affect. The previous vet had to sedate my kitty but Dr. McLean and the staff are so warm and caring that my cat is so good for them. She does not even behave that well for me.
Staff is always very friendly and I have complete confidence in in them to take care of my fur babies. I love that Dr. McLean gets on the floor to examine my puppy instead of putting her on the table. I think that makes my puppy feel more secure in a strange environment.
Our Morgan has had many problems and Dr McLean and her staff have made our visits less stressful...Dr. McLean, Danielle, Stacey and Jenny have been awesome! I recommend Animal Life as often as I can!

Q: Impicit function can't be injected I have the following code:
case class Number (value:Int)

and
class Calculator {
  def performCalc( input:Number)(implicit calc: (Number=>Number) ) =  calc(input)
}

Now, when I, in a specs2 test try this:
class CalculatorTest extends mutable.Specification {
  "Calculator" should {
    "*  Accept explicit calculation parameter" in {
      implicit val addTwelve = (input: Number) => Number(input.value + 12)
      val calc = new Calculator()

      val result = calc.performCalc(Number(4))
      result must beEqualTo(16)
    }
  }
}

I expected the 'addTwelve' function to be injected implicitly as a parameter of performCalc. However, I get the following failure:
Error:(49, 42) ambiguous implicit values:
 both method $conforms in object Predef of type [A]=> <:<[A,A]
 and value addTwelve of type nl.example.Number => nl.example.Number
 match expected type nl.example.Number => nl.example.Number
      val result = calc.performCalc(Number(4))
                             ^

What am I doing wrong? It should be possible to use methods as implicits, right?
Scala: 2.11.7

A: Yes this is technically a valid use of implicit, but it's not a very strong use case. Specifically, there is a pre-existing implicit that provides Number=>Number. The compiler is having trouble telling which implicit method you really want.
What's better is to wrap this method into a trait as a "tag" for the implicit type.
case class Number(value: Int)
trait CalcMethod {
  def perform(n: Number): Number
}
class Calculator {
  def performCalc(input:Number)(implicit calc: CalcMethod) = calc.perform(input)
}

class CalculatorTest extends mutable.Specification {
  "Calculator" should {
    "*  Accept explicit calculation parameter" in {
      implicit val addTwelve: CalcMethod = new CalcMethod {
          def perform(input: Number) = Number(input.value + 12)
      }
      val result = new Calculator().performCalc(Number(4))
      result must beEqualTo(16)
    }
  }
}

EDIT:
This is maybe closer to what you want:
case class Number(value: Int)
implicit class CalcMethod(val perform: Number => Number)
class Calculator {
  def performCalc(input:Number)(implicit calc: CalcMethod) = calc.perform(input)
}

Then you can use it like so:
implicit val addTwelve: CalcMethod = (input: Number) => Number(input.value + 12)
val result = new Calculator().performCalc(Number(4))


"It shows what people can do when they come together."
Hurricane Irma has been so strong that it literally sucked water from shorelines into the storm's center, making it look like the ocean has been drained in places like the Bahamas and Florida's Gulf Coast. And while the eery effect may look cool in pictures, it had some near-dire consequences for a couple of manatees in Florida's Sarasota Bay that became beached in the low tide, the Today Show reported. Fortunately, a handful of good Samaritans discovered the mammals and were able to get help and usher them into deeper waters.
Tony Foradini-Campos and Michael Sechler posted pictures on Facebook and Instagram, along with a few details of the situation and a plea for help. "One [of the manatees] wasn't moving, the other was breathing and had water in its eyes," Sechler wrote of the animals when they found them. "This area is usually completely submerged! Can we do something 😭😭 " Foradini-Campos wrote. Their posts went viral and attracted the attention of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, employees of which arrived with tarps to help save the animals, the Herald-Tribune reported.
A few others, including Marcelo Clavijo, happened upon the scene, and together, everyone managed to roll the manatees to safety. "It was a pretty cool experience, we rolled them on the tarp and then dragged them . . . 100 yrds," Marcelo wrote on Facebook. "It was crazy, now back to a reality of a hurricane coming."
"It's an amazing story," Foradini-Campos, who also said he thought the manatees were "done for," told the Herald-Tribune. "It shows what people can do when they come together."

Man on the Pitch: A United Lesson
By J.J. Buck
New Mexico United at Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC, 3 p.m. Kick-off, (ESPN+, KOAT 7)
A wonder touch from the head of Romeo Parkes put New Mexico on the board just five minuets into their match at Phoenix Rising last Saturday. It was a fantastic start to one of the most anticipated matches on United's 20-game schedule against what has become, in just one year, public enemy number one for fans of the black-and-yellow. Phoenix would quickly reestablish themselves showing the visitors a level they have not seen this season. Rising would take a 2-1 lead into the half as they flashed their speed on the wings and ability to finish in the final third. Man-of -the-match Junior Flemmings would cap off his hat trick with a second half brace. The final, 5-2, in favor of Phoenix.
All streaks must come to an end and United's undefeated streak against Phoenix (two draws, win in penalties) was snapped in viscous fashion. There were a lot of questions on this weeks conference call regarding the emotions following a match in which Phoenix had their way; were the players overwhelmed, shocked or now questioning their ability?
"We're walking off (the field) it's not feeling like we were intimated at any point it was just, they are a good team, they capitalized on their chances and we need to just fix those little moments and we're looking at ourselves and not anyone else" said United midfielder Andrew Tinari on this weeks conference call.
That's sport. You'll have good days and bad days. United faced a team that showed them the level they'll need to match if they want to do something special this season.
Head coach Troy Lesesne did not mince words when talking about his teams performance, "Mistakes were made and Phoenix was better on the night. You can't call it any other way whenever it's five-to-two. They executed and we did not. That's were it starts and stops."
United still hold the top spot in Group C. Saturday at Colorado Springs begins a stretch of three games in eight days against group opponents. Again, all on the road.
Lesesne expected everyone back in training who has missed out due to injury, including striker Devon Sandoval. It was announced last week that defender Justin Schmidt is expected to miss the remainder of the season following foot surgery.
In Sandoval's absence, Parkes has played as the teams number nine. Parkes looked more comfortable up top beginning with the match at Oklahoma City. He was seeing more of the ball and thus able to show his ability to distribute and finish. The depth has been a positive for United this year and now the challenge for Lesesne is to try and keep getting the best out of Parkes with their first choice striker back. Lesesne praised Parkes play, but knows just how much Sandoval means to the team.
"There's a calming presence to Dev. He's not a loud guy necessarily, but he's a really strong personality and that type of personality in a match where it's getting a little bit stretched or in the match verse Phoenix were it's getting a little bit stretched or maybe chaotic, Dev has the ability to have a calming presence," said Lesesne.
Both will get their chances in the upcoming week as squad rotation will be key in the coming days. Lesesne shared his thought process going into the week ahead, "Individually personnel wise we just want to make sure we are in a good position as I evaluate Saturday, Wednesday Saturday, to keep everyone fresh, to keep everyone focused towards not just three points, we want to try and pick up a lot of points here in the next week given they are all Group C matches."
Group C Standings (W – L – T)
New Mexico (3-2-1) 10pts
El Paso Locomotive FC (2-2-2) 8pts
Real Monarchs FC (1-2-1) 4pts
Colorado Springs (1-3-1) 4pts
Switchbacks Looking for Momentum
Despite losing 2-1 in the restart to New Mexico, Colorado Springs showed promise as first year head coach Alan Koch finally was able to get back to work with his squad. A team who welcomed 17 new payers to this years roster. In their next game, at Real Monarchs, the Switchbacks found themselves down a man and two goals in the 73′. As hope was fading COS scored in the 89′ and 90+5 to rip a point from SLC. Unfortunately, they could not build off that finish as that would be the only point earned through four games, (L, D, L, L).
Two late goals from Uvaldo Luna made last weeks 4-2 loss at El Paso look a little better on the match report, however the damage was already done.
El Paso converted a free kick in the 17′ (Dylan Mares, 1-0), made COS pay off a turnover in their own end in the 21′ (Aaron Gomez, 2-0), finished a quality passing clinic in the 66′ (Louis Herrera, 3-0) and before the smoke could clear out of Southwest University Park put one more past the keeper in the 68′ (Herrera, 4-0).
Saturday is the first of six straight games at home for the Switchbacks, four of which are against group foes.
"I think your going to see us grow during the course of these six games," Koch told the teams website, adding, "We don't want to take too long to show growth from a performance perspective, but also from a points perspective to."
This will be the second of four meetings between the two squads this season. The July 11th game will be remembered for Saalih Muhammad's ridiculous volley opening the scoring, but it was a tightly contested match until Chris Wehan's 87′ game winner.
The formations from that game, as you can see in the photo above, 4-4-2 for COS and a 3-4-3 for NM. The Switchbacks played a 5-4-1 (photo below) against the Locomotive last week. You'd think that would help them defensively, but as mentioned ELP put four past them.
Expect to see (#23) Uvaldo Luna in the starting lineup following his two goal performance. If COS goes back to the 4-4-2, the left winger would provide much needed punch with strikers (#9) Christian Volesky [1 goal, 7 shots/3 on target] and (#13) Aidan Daniels [1 g, 3/2] yet to take off.
Keep an eye on (#2) Joan Cervos. The left back has the second most chances created on the team with six. He's showing off an all around game with an 82.4% pass completion rate while defensively he has nine clearances, six interceptions and 31 duels won.
Other Potential Game Changers
(#17) W/MF George Lebese: 1 goal, 5 shots/4 on target.
(#7) F Austin Dewing: 5/2.
(#44) D Jordan Burt: 5 CC, 1g, 4/2.
There won't be many surprises in group games soon as teams prepare to play each other four times. United has added a new wrinkle with the 3-4-3.
"Your seeing flexibility between the two systems this year and that maybe allows us to be a little bit more unpredictable to the opponent," Lesesne said of his squad selection.
Josh Suggs, Daniel Bruce and David Najem are options as wing-backs in a 3-4-3. Tinari has played well in a center-mid/attacking roll under the nine as Amando Moreno and Wehan have held down the attacking wings in both formations. Whatever formation they play look for solid spells of possession and quality pass attempts. Lesesne was not happy with their giveaways against Phoenix.
The press has been key for United this year. That will be a focus on Saturday especially for Tinari who was not pleased with his defensive play last weekend.
"For me personally, in my position there was a little confusion with our press and where to be going. Where to go on the field related to the backs. I don't think personally I did my job well enough," he said.
Team defense has been the biggest change from last season. The Switchbacks only managed one shot on goal in the first meeting as United kept the box clean (18 clearances) and the chances at a distance. United will look to get back to that defensive presence against an attack not as potent as Phoenix.

Заема почетно място в историята на театралното изкуство с ненадминатите си театрални въплъщения, превърнали се в пример за българския драматичен театър, като е оценен високо и извън пределите на България.

Биография

Роден е през 1876 г. в семейството на председателя на Кюстендженската българска община Петър Савев (Събев) Огнянов – Чакмака и Мина Горанова. Брат е на политика Александър Огнянов, на д-р Иван Огнянов и на д-р Богдан Огнянов (ветеринарен лекар). Семейството му живее в Кюстенджа до Освобождението. След това се заселва в Силистра, а по-късно в Русе. Завършва мъжката класическа гимназия "Княз Борис I", където участва в много театрални постановки, сред които и "Венецианският търговец" (в ролята на Шейлок). Известно време следва архитектура в Мюнхен, Германия, но скоро се прехвърля в драматичната школа на Ото Кьоних. Завършва школата за драматично изкуство на Емануел Райхер.

Дебютът му на Софийска сцена е на 17 март 1902 година в "Сълза и смях". Той става член на актьорския състав на Народния театър в София. Гастролира в различни страни по света.

На 21 март 1953 година, 20 години след неговата смърт, с указ на Президиума на Народното събрание Драматичният театър в Русе приема неговото име.

Любопитно
Родът на Сава Огнянов е свързан с този на Христо Ботев по някои причини:

 Христо Ботев посвещава някои от своите стихотворения ("До моето първо либе", "Пристанала" и "На прощаване") на неговата майка Мария (Мина) Горанова, с която били близки преди тя да се омъжи за котелския търговец Петър Огнянов;

 Като студент самият Сава води дълготрайна кореспонденция с Ботевата дъщеря Иванка. След едно от представленията му в България тя му подарява книжка със стихотворения на баща си. Книжката е унищожена при бомбардировките над столицата, а по спомени на дъщеря му Жозефина Огнянова в нея е пишело:

Отличия и награди
 1921 г. – удостоен е с орден "Свети Александър", четвърта степен.

Day 36- Washington, DC
– Hannah O' Koon
Today was our final day in Washington DC, and it was a busy one. First, we were given a choice of visiting either the Air and Space or Art Smithsonian Museum.
I went to the Air and Space museum and explored the history of airplanes and rockets. We learned about the important role airplanes have played in our history, specifically in World War I and World War II. We also saw exhibits about Orville and Wilbur Wright, the inventors of the airplane. Next, we went to the United States National Holocaust Memorial Museum. The museum explored everything from the rise of Nazism and the liberation of the camps in 1945 by the Allied forces to the struggle Jews faced reintegrating into normal life after being segregated and dehumanized during the war. The architecture of the museum added to our experience, as the dimly lit, dark and enclosed areas represented the concentration camps the Jewish people were forced into. While exploring the museum, I thought about my ancestors, and the hardships they faced so that decades later I would have the freedom to practice Judaism. I realized the the Holocaust does not have to define who we are as Jewish people. The genocide of Jews has shaped our history but our generation has the power to make changes in the world, where hopefully some good can outnumber some bad. Of course, we will never forget the Holocaust, but we are stronger than ever as Jews, strong enough to enact positive changes in our society.
After, we went to the Newseum, which explored the history and importance of media. There were exhibits explaining the history of TV, books and newspapers dating back hundreds of years ago. We saw the artifacts that have shaped our history, such as the radio President Roosevelt used in his fireside chats and the book of the Constitution of the United States. Many of the artifacts we saw we had previously discussed in different cities around the country, and it was fascinating to actually see the objects after discussing their purposes. For our final night with everyone in our group, we went to the movies and saw Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. The movie discussed a teenagers relationship with a girl diagnosed with leukemia, his best friend Earl, his parents and his acquaintances at school. On the surface, the movie may have seemed like a typical young adult romance movie, but it was anything but a typical teen movie. The movie discussed themes we had been talking about all summer, like making connections throughout history and digging deeper than the surface to truly understand important events and places. Me and Earl and the Dying Girl united us all as our time together comes to a close.

Here's what's trending for September 17.
Thursday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health added 5786 new cases of COVID-19 to the state's overall total, which now stands at 1,365,049 since the pandemic began. 72 new COVID-related deaths were added by the state health department as well. Pennsylvania's overall death count from COVID-19 is now 28,768. Right now, 2323 people are hospitalized with the virus, 560 of whom are in the intensive care unit.
Kutztown University hosts a Moderna COVID-19 vaccination clinic Friday from 10-2 in the Student Recreation Center. It's open to anybody 18-years-old and older. To register, go to www.emstelemed.org
A Lehigh Valley entertainment venue has decided to require all ticket-holders to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination and wear masks. The Allentown Symphony Association says it's making the move for the safety of all audience members, musicians, staff and volunteers at Miller Symphony Hall and there will be no exceptions. The new policy takes effect with tonight's show and will run through the entire month of October when the association says it will determine whether it needs to be extended. The vaccination policy also applies to all staff, volunteers and performers.
The Lehigh Valley International Airport is essentially closed today through Sunday. $8 million worth of work begins today at LViA. The work includes improving the tarmac, lighting and drainage systems on the runways and that means only helicopters will be permitted to take off or land through Sunday. The project was scheduled several months ago so no flights had to be cancelled. LVIA will be essentially shut down again for more work from September 28th to the 30th.
A man is behind bars for allegedly robbing a bank in the Poconos. The incident happened Thursday morning when police received a report that the ESSA Bank and Trust on Milford Road in Middle Smithfield Township was being robbed. Police say they later arrested the suspect who is from Brooklyn, New York.
A Camelback Resort employee is recovering at the hospital after they were run over by a snow groomer. The accident happened Thursday morning at the resort in Tannersville. The employee suffered major trauma to their lower body and had to be flown to the hospital. Their condition is unknown at this time.
The city of Bethlehem is one step closer to an important designation. City leaders, the Bethlehem World Heritage Commission, and local Moravian leaders have all signed the Voluntary Association Agreement, which prepares a nomination for historic Bethlehem for UNESCO's World Heritage List. The designation is given to landmarks, like the Statue of Liberty and Independence Hall, that have cultural, historical or scientific significance.
Crews are demolishing the Walters Park Pool in Phillipsburg to make way for a newly redesigned pool to open in May 2022. Walters Park Pool has long been a staple of the community, having opened 66 years ago.
Bethlehem's historic Burnside Plantation hosts Apple Days this weekend. Carly Cheponis says the pandemic forced changes last year, at least one of which is back this year. "Last year we added the Market-To-Go, which will be back again this year as well," Cheponis says. You can pre-order your favorite apple treats at www.historicbethlehem.org and then pick them up next Monday-through-Wednesday. The in-person festival is tomorrow and Sunday and features plenty of apple-themed food, games, live music and more.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health in July announced sweeping reforms for nursing homes, designed to improve care to residents. Nursing home managers say it'll mean having to increase staff levels at a time when it's difficult to hang on to the workers they already employ. Zach Shamberg heads up the Pennsylvania Health Care Association. "In just the past few months, open and unfilled positions have significantly increased while qualified applicants have steadily decreased. This regulation would require 7000 new workers and at minimum $400 million in new costs," Shamberg says. But Democrats like St. Sen. Maria Collett calls changes like improving patient care long overdue.
The Wolf administration is warning residents about a rise in student loan forgiveness scams. State officials say with the continuing pandemic, many have been searching for financial relief and like other scams, these perpetrators prey upon the hope and vulnerability of people. They urge residents to be skeptical about incoming communications, research the company, be aware of what real programs will and won't ask for and verify the email address. If you feel you have been scammed, officials advise you close your accounts, alert your servicer, monitor your credit report and report the scam to the federal trade commission.
The theme for the 106th Pennsylvania Farm show is officially out. "We are looking forward to "Harvesting More" in 2022," says Pennsylvania Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. He says the 'harvesting more' theme is appropriate because after cultivating virtually in 2021, it's only natural that we harvest more in 2022 as everyone convenes once again in Harrisburg once again January 8th through the 15th.
New Jersey businesses still reeling from Tropical Storm Henri and Ida have a new opportunity to apply for financial aid. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority has opened its Henri/Ida business assistance grant program, helping businesses on a first come first serve basis. The agency approved $10.5 million for the initiative, with businesses eligible for up to $5000. the application portal closes at 5pm on September 24th.
New Jersey is increasing its investment in pediatric cancer research. Gov. Phil Murphy signed two bipartisan bills yesterday, one of which establishes the pediatric cancer research fund and an advisory board within the state commission on cancer research. The second legislation appropriates $5 million to the state's pediatric cancer fund. Murphy says investing in the research plays a vital role in the fight against childhood cancers.
Colleges and universities across New Jersey are now required to provide all students with a "shopping sheet" each year. Gov. Phil Murphy says the document will inform students of costs, loan options, and estimated debt. The shopping sheet was previously required to be handed out to incoming students, but will now be distributed to individual students as a way to create transparency. Gov. Murphy says strengthening transparency standards will help students make the right financial decisions for their education.

Yemeni militant group denies death of al-Qaida member
Ansar al-Sharia distributes leaflets calling al-Banna's killing "lies," claims responsibility for blast at France's Total gas pipeline.
Total gas pipeline
ADEN - An Islamist group linked to al Qaida has denied that its media chief was killed in an air raid in southern Yemen two weeks ago.
The group, Ansar al-Sharia (Partisans of Islamic Law), also took responsibility for an explosion at France's Total gas pipeline in mid-October that halted supplies to the Belhaf LNG plant.
Yemen-based al-Qaida wing confirms death of Awlaki
In leaflets distributed in mosques and markets in Yemen's southern Shabwa province, it described government reports of Ibrahim al-Banna's killing as "lies."
"We denounce American attacks on the Arabian Peninsula which is based on crusader thinking," said the leaflet, referring to US drone attacks in Yemen. "The blood of Muslims will not be spilled in vain."
Yemen's government says Ansar al-Sharia is the Yemeni wing of al Qaida. Some analysts say other local militant Islamist groups could be at work.
Months of protests against President Ali Abdullah Saleh's 33-year rule have weakened already loose central government control over whole swathes of the country.
Neighboring Saudi Arabia and the United States fear militants including al Qaida's Arabian Peninsula branch (AQAP) are exploiting growing lawlessness in the impoverished state and firming their foothold there.
The leaflets said the Yemeni government had often taken credit for killing militants, only for them to turn up alive later on. Al Qaida usually hails the death of its members or affiliates in postings on Internet forums.


Choosing the right specialist is extremely important, and you should feel confident that your surgeon is the right one for you. Listed below are some common questions that people should ask their surgeon, with Mr Tehrani's own answers to help give more information on his practice.
Is skin cancer your main speciality? Mr Tehrani has dedicated his career to skin cancer care, in particular basal cell carcinomas, and is the regional lead for Mohs surgery.
How many surgical procedures have you performed? As with many things, surgical skills and results usually improve with experience. Mr Tehrani has peformed well in excess of 10,000 procedures, which has brought him to the level of being a senior surgical trainer.
Who will perform my reconstruction? Mohs surgeons are often Dermatologists, and whilst some are well versed in complex reconstructive surgery, many will refer you elsewhere for your reconstruction; this may be in a different hospital, on a different day, and involve further costs. As Mr Tehrani is a Plastic & Reconstructive surgeon, he is almost always able to personally reconstruct your wound on the same day as your Mohs surgery, thereby reducing pain, inconvenience and costs, and optimising outcomes.
What if I have a problem post-operatively? If you have any issues after your surgery, you should be confident that plans are in place for your aftercare. Mr Tehrani's team will give you information of where to call or attend to see his team any time of any day, with 24 hour specialist Plastic surgery care available.
This information is provided for general knowledge only and does not replace information provided by healthcare professionals. If you have any concerns of any skin growth, you should consult a medical professional urgently.

« IS NEWCASTLE BRINGING MONEYBALL TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE? | Main | LUCK AT MOLINEUX DOESN'T ERASE EXCELLENCE »
TIME FOR SIMPSON TO PICK IT UP
Statistically speaking, Newcastle United has the best defense in the English football pyramid at the moment.
Yet Newcastle's biggest liability may well involve its backline. That's got nothing to do with Fabricio Coloccini or Steven Taylor, who look like the best center back pairing that United has had in some time. It's not a knock on Ryan Taylor, either, despite the fact that he's had a few wobbly moments while filling in out of position at left back.
Danny Simpson is the worrisome link in the defensive chain. While he's a likeable guy and his efforts to interact with fans on Twitter are greatly appreciated, his performances at right back have been one of the few concerns during Newcastle's uplifting start to the season.
Simpson doesn't seem to have progressed much - if any - over the past two seasons. Case in point: Simpson had two assists in his first season at Newcastle; he hasn't had any since United returned to the Premier League. Stats don't come close to telling the whole story in soccer, but that one is indicative of the quality of crosses Simpson is delivering.
That wouldn't be as big of a deal if Simpson was locking down the opposition's left flank. But that's not happening either. A week ago, Simpson struggled badly to deal with Blackburn's Martin Olsson, a player who, while underrated, isn't overly tricky and certainly isn't one of the Premier League's top wingers. Olsson set up Blackburn's lone goal, then hit the crossbar with a shot that could have greatly changed the complexion of the game. Almost all of Blackburn's dangerous play came down the left before Olsson was sent off in the 69th minute.
Considering Wolves left winger Matt Jarvis is a step above Olsson, Simpson's performance could go a long way toward determining United's fate today at Molineux. And if it's not better than last week's showing, then win or lose, it might be time to rework the backline (hello, Davide Santon) - even if it is still the best in England.

Can someone explain to me why Simpson is riding very high in the Premier League Stats then? I think he is rated as one of the best defenders in the league on the basis of the first 6 games. In fact the 20th best player in the league
http://www.premierleague.com/page/PlayerPerformanceIndex
I've watched all the games and he has been fairly impressive. He has made some important goal line clearances and saved us conceding. Going forward he has been fairly decent as well.
Not sure I understand the criticism he is coming in for from some quarters, does not seem to be based on fact.
Posted by: Nad | 10/01/2011 at 04:05 AM
Stats shmats. You could feed me with all the statistical analysis you like but it won't convince me that Simpson is anything other than a below-average Premier League defender. The stats show he has done alright this season because he has got lucky that Tayls, Colo & Krul have bailed him out. He has played alright in the games where no-one has been running at him (QPR, Villa) but you only need to look at where Wolves goal in last season's 4-1 victory came from to see how Simpson is our defensive weak link. And, as the article says, he has had NO assists going forward. He has scored 2 goals for NUFC, both from mishit crosses. That says everything about his crossing ability. He is ok at defending when he's not up against someone who wants to take him on, but otherwise he's poor. He backs off in our defensive 3rd, jumps into tackles in the middle 3rd (Fulham goal in the 2-1 and Forest's 3rd in the Cup game) and does nothing but hinder attacks in the final 3rd.
Posted by: Cheik & Bake | 10/01/2011 at 04:50 AM
I've been critical of Simpson for a looong time now... But so far this season he hasn't been too bad. But he definately need some competition. His best traits are his aggression and interceptions, which fits in to the hard working style NUFC are showing now in the league. But like I said... competition is needed.
Posted by: weezy | 10/01/2011 at 05:12 AM
If the stats say Simpson is 20th best player in the league... then the stats are flawed. Either fundamentally so or simply through an insufficient sample size.
He's dodgy in defence and offers very little going forward. Needs replacing in the first XI.... and I think the management know it - he was being offered to clubs in the last window (QPR and Villa come to mind).
Also.... the day after the window closed, the local media were briefed as to the clubs recruitment priorities up to and including the Jan window - striker, centreback and rightback (focusing on players nearing the end of contracts)
We've also got young Tavernier apparently doing well at League One Carlisle United. From what little we've seen of him he seems to be a genuine 2-way player with pace and ability in possession. Let's hope he continues to progress and is ready to oust Simpson some time soon.....

In the past, people who were disabled but loved to travel had very limited vacation choices. There were accessibility issues, inadequate facilities and lack of staff training to accommodate special needs. Since the instituting of the ADA however, major cruise lines in particular took notice and implemented sweeping changes in order to cater to those with special needs. The results have been wonderful for all those who thought that it would not be possible for them to enjoy a wonderful, relaxing cruise.
Special access cabins are available with refrigerators to store medicine, bathroom grab bars, ramped thresholds, low sinks and roll-in showers. It is always a good idea to book your travel plans early to insure that you will have the best cabin to suit your needs. Tender systems are in place for boarding and disembarking with careful V.I.P. treatment and assistance given to each guest with any limitations. The good thing is that you will NOT be charged any extra for these services.
The #1 disability worldwide is hearing loss. Changes were made to make cruise travel for the hearing impaired such as under-pillow vibrating alarms and staterooms with a special indicating light system which will alert guests to a fire alarm, doorbell, smoke detector, and telephone. Cabins are sometimes equipped with Telecommunications Device for the Deaf (TDD) which will advise the guest of fire, smoke, door knock, telephone and a wake-up service. Most ships are equipped with audible arrival sounds and infrared lighting systems in common areas of the ship. With advance notice, sign language interpreters can also be provided.
Great changes have been made for guests with mobility issues. Wheelchairs are available on board ship, however if you have your own wheelchair or motorized scooter, you will be encouraged to bring those with you. Ships now have wider doorways and special bathroom facilities to make sure all ADA requirements are followed. The result is a safe, comfortable, stress-free vacation for passengers to enjoy themselves on and off board ship.
There are some travelers who suffer from very serious food allergies. Since a cruise is also an experience in gourmet dining, can a cruise ship meet any dietary restrictions you may have? The answer is yes, however you will have to let them know ahead of time so that they will be prepared with delicious food for you when you set sail. Meals such as vegetarian entrees, low sodium, low cholesterol, sugar-free and fat-free are also available upon request. For guests on a gluten, glucose, lactose, sodium or dairy-free diet, you will have to give the cruiseline approximately 2 months notice so they may make the necessary provisions for you.
As you can see, many wonderful policies have been implemented for cruise travel for people with disabilities thanks to the ADA. Most major cruise lines have an 'access desk' that handle special reservations in advance. Careful, advance planning is necessary so that you will have the best vacation possible. Modern ships are well equipped with everything you will need to be comfortable and have fun. It is strongly recommended that you utilize the expertise and knowledge of a professional travel agent who can do the majority of your planning for you. I am well trained in the planning of cruise vacations with special needs, and would be happy to help you travel – feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.


There are very few things that are as exciting as being in the ocean or vast rivers in your own boat are yachts. It is one of the most exciting and enjoyable holiday options and it is something where your entire family can take part. While you enjoy being out there on the ocean or river, the expensive boat or yacht does take quite a bit of beating. It is quite taxing on the boats because of the impact of the elements of nature. If it is out on the sea, you can be sure that the salt water could be corroding the boat or yacht. On the other hand, if you are in the river, here also there could be corrosion and other related damage caused by sediments and other such impurities in the river bed. Hence, you must understand the importance of prompt and regular boat detailing. It is a small price that you will pay for the overall maintenance of the expensive boats and yachts. There are obviously a number of benefits as far as this form of cleaning the boats are concerned. We will look at the same over the next few lines for the benefits and advantages of our customers and readers.
You would always love your boat or yacht to look as new and fresh as possible. Hence, after every outing out on the sea, river or other large sized water bodies, the onus lies on you to ensure that you take care of the detailing aspect. You must identify a good boat detailer in OKC and hand over the boat to them for a thorough detailing. It will cost money, but as mentioned above, it is too small a price that you will be paying for the overall durability and longevity of your boat.
There is no doubt that you would have spent thousands of dollars on buying a new boat or yacht. Therefore you would like to preserve its resale value as best as you can. Towards this objective, there is no doubt that regular cleaning and detailing of the boats is a must. There are enough studies to prove that such detailing could help push the resale value of boats and yachts by as much as 20% and even more in some cases. Hence, by spending a few hundred dollars on boat detailing you might stand to gain big when you decide to resell the same. This is being smart with your spending habits, to say the least.
When you are in the habit of boat detailing on a regular basis, you will be in a position to identify the damage to the boat or launch before it actually becomes big and out of control. The detailers will most certainly have a close look at the boat from top to bottom and detect any small problem and rectify it. This will help in getting the problem nipped in the bud before it becomes a serious problem.
Therefore, there are enough reasons to understand the importance of boat detailing and practice the same without too much gap in between.

The old Opera House: many of Cape Town's senior citizens will remember the old Opera House which was opened in 1893 and demolished in 1937. It stood at the corner of Darling and Parliament Streets on the site presently occupied by the General Post Office and was built before the present Standard Bank Building was extended from Adderley Street through to Parliament Street (or Grave Street as it was then known). The Opera House Restaurant on the first floor was for many years one of the most popular eating-out establishments in Cape Town.
