"First of all, great basketball game, played at a very high level by both teams. I think Notre Dame is really, really, really good. I think Mike Brey is one of the most underrated, great coaches. Everyone knows he's a good coach. I think he's a great coach and probably doesn't get the recognition he deserves nationally. He's a great coach. I hope our program, as we continue to rebuild and grow in this major rebuild process of ours, that we can emulate Notre Dame and how he's built a program there, Coach Brey has. So we strive to emulate Coach Brey and the success that he's had and try to mirror our program like Coach Brey has done. As part of our rebuild and vision, that's what we're looking for long-term.
"What I would tell you is that we start the game and it was sort of like we got down – and everyone knows I talk about energy all the time – it was sort of like we were just low-energy to start the game, which is a credit to Notre Dame. They were making their shots. To be what we were down and then fight back to be able to get the lead against that type of team in the first half, it says a lot about our guys. Our guys have really responded well all throughout the year. So that was a big opportunity for us to get back in the game on that, take the lead and then it was back-and-forth. It was just one of those things where I thought we had some turnovers and everything else then in the second half they did a good job of coming out in that zone [defense]. It slowed us for a little bit but then I thought we did a good job attacking it.
"I thought we guarded for the most part pretty well. I thought we did a good job on [Steve] Vasturia, who is really good. I thought we made Matt Farrell take some tough shots, who's an excellent player. We didn't switch as [many] defenses today. We pretty much stayed in man and we really guarded.
"I thought Tadric Jackson was terrific. I've been hard on Tadric all year. I get after him and, to his credit, he responds. I want to give him a big shout-out. His awareness on a big-time guard rebound late … his awareness to see the clock and not panic and move the ball up the floor and throw it ahead.

First responder describes Dubbo crash..
Two people are dead following a horrific seven-vehicle crash on the Newell Highway, north of Dubbo.
The accident occurred at midday when a semi-trailer slammed into four cars, a truck and a ute while they were stopped at roadworks.
A teenager was trapped for three hours under a truck, with his survival labelled a "miracle" by emergency services.
Commander of the Orana Mid-Western Police District, Superintendent Peter McKenna, was one of the first on the scene and tells Steve Price it was "like a war zone".
"You'd think it was something out of a movie but unfortunately it was very real.
"That is the worst I've seen someone actually completely enveloped and entrapped in that situation. To survive that was nothing short of a miracle.
Mr McKenna has pleaded with drivers to plan their trips carefully and heed road signs.
"There was plenty of signage and plenty of notice that the roadworks were there.

Image of 'failed masculinity' helped make comedian a laughing stock

I absolutely love watching old flicks, and I recently caught a good portion of Buck Privates on the Turner Classic Movies cable network, starring Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. I honestly hadn't watched this comedy duo since I was a kid, and I used to enjoy them. But while watching about a week or so ago, only the nostalgia aspect of it appealed to me. The comedy? Not so much.
Why? I couldn't help but feel a very real sense of sadness over how the joke was always on Costello due in no small part to his hammy portrayal of "failed masculinity." He always wound up being humiliated or abused physically because of it. The message was: I don't really measure up to the average guy, and here I am selflessly entertaining you as the clown that I deservedly am because of it.
True, a lot of Abbott and Costello's comedy centered around clever verbal exchanges, but their audiences were still always reminded of Costello's "ineptitude" as a guy -- more specifically, his failure to embody the traditional expectation of what a guy should be. This seems particularly poignant in light of the era, when valiance seemed to be heavily valued as a masculine trait due to the war.
I realize that the point of the movies and radio shows that Abbott and Costello made was to make people laugh during a stressful time in history, and I could still watch routines like Who's on First? and enjoy a few chuckles. But it just made me sad that an entire generation got such a kick out of a persona rooted so deeply in male "inadequacy."

There are lots of comedians who were "failed men." Jack Benny (other than being married) was literally portrayed as an effeminate gay man. Buster Keaton was uncoordinated, twerpy and inept in most of his films. Charlie Chaplin would often turn "faggy" at the drop of a hat. Harold Lloyd, in between climbing buildings, was always a momma's boy and "panty-waisted" young man, Harry Langdon was literally a eunuch, Fatty Arbuckle was in drag in most of his films. Curly from the 3 Stooges, had a high pitched voice, went in drag in a number of their shorts and often did "effeminate" gestures. Harpo Marx was... well, he certainly wasn't a man. There's literally no American comic which hasn't mined this theme.
Tony Soprano | July 14, 2010 7:28 PM
I thank Cassandra for her recognition of 'failed masculinity' in the Lou Costello character.
I wondered for years why I had so very much detested watching those shows (my dad was a big fan). As a little boy, I apparently saw myself in his character: obese, non-athletic, physically uncoordinated. But, that was not the worst.
I also failed to mature sexually, and had under-developed genitalia. I did not know what it was at the time; but, I knew something was wrong with me. I would later find out the real horror that would haunt me for the rest of my life. I had my own case of 'failed' masculinity.
Lou Costello mocked me from behind the glass screen, and I hated him because I hate(d) myself. He was not funny. He disgusted me.
Sean Martin | July 14, 2010 7:48 PM
Isnt most humour about pain or hurtfulness of some kind? We laugh at the ineptness of the blondes or the __________ (insert preferred minority group here) or even dear old Dad on countless sitcoms because they made us feel superior. Costello was no different from countless laugh machines, and the nature of what's "funny" hasnt changed much either.
Dr. Jillian T. Weiss | July 15, 2010 8:22 AM
I think Lou's humor appealed also to the failed masculine within all of us. We've all had times when we were bumbling idiots or gullible dupes. I think I laugh at Lou's jokes partly because I recognize the humor in my own fallibility.

The Intermediate team will begin practicing this Wednesday, April 24 from 7:00-9:00 at BBA.
**All games and skill sessions held at Merritton Arena.
**There will be no lacrosse on Easter Weekend or Victoria Day Weekend.
**Season concludes Saturday, June 22.


Bridgewater Golf Club in Auburn (just north of Ft. Wayne) is a 36-hole championship facility that affords golfers with an opportunity to play two distinctive layouts. The West course is the original design (formerly under another name - recently purchased by the owners of Bridgewater) while the East course is longer, the more modern and upscale of the two.
Each course has its own clubhouse facility. The West facility features a snack bar and pro shop, while the east clubhouse includes locker rooms with showers, a pro shop, snack area plus full service restaurant that is open Tuesday through Friday with a full menu, and through lunch on Sundays (closed Mondays). Near the East clubhouse is an extensive practice facility with full range plus short game practice area, and two putting greens. Banquet/outing facilities that can accommodate about 300 guests are adjacent.
On course, each property features marking systems that include 100, 150 and 200 yard markers on the fairways and cart paths, plus sprinkler heads that are measured to the center of the green. Pin placement information is posted on each scorecard. There is a nice variety of holes on each of the layouts, with service and a price structure that makes golf here a great value.
The East Course is a wonderful design with a nice mix of generous and tightly tree-lined fairways that play over a rolling terrain. The opening hole is a beauty that demands careful placement off the tee, as a creek intersects the fairway twice on this challenging par four. The rest of the layout on the front is quite open, with greenside mounding and numerous water hazards providing the challenge. Numbers 10 and 11 are tree lined and both play over clear-running creeks. Holes 12-17 are links style while the par five 18th tightens up with a daunting approach over another creek. The manicured conditioning, sculpted tees and bunkers, and considerable water hazards make this my favorite nine of the 36.
The tips on the East Course measure 7272 yards with a 137 slope, while alternate tees play to distances and slopes that measure 6755 yards/129 slope, 6223 yards/1213 slope, 5470 yards/119 slope and 5107 yards with a slope of 117 from the gold sets. Golfers will have to navigate the 52 sand bunkers located greenside or along the landing zones near the fairways, and water comes into play in some shape or form on 16 holes.
With two courses on property, great practice facilities, a fine restaurant and wonderful event rooms, Bridgewater is a great place for outings and special events. For more info, visit our page for the course, with direct link to their website by clicking here.

Go ahead and spread this on everything.
DIY canning, pickling and fermenting is easy with food preservation and foraging expert Leda Meredith's latest book, Preserving Everything. Whether you're looking to store the last of your garden vegetables for the winter or simply craving a hearty stick of pork jerky, Meredith's techniques are time-tested and simple enough for the home cook to master. Ever spread pears on toast? No better time than the present.
This pear butter has rich flavor and a silky-smooth texture. I like it swirled into yogurt for breakfast, and also use it as an ingredient in quick breads. The recipe works equally well with apples, plums and other fruit.
Peel and core the pears. The grittiness that pears can sometimes have is concentrated just under the peels, so peeling the fruit makes a big difference in the texture of your final product.
Cut the peeled and cored pears into 1-inch chunks.
Put the pears, water, lemon and honey or sugar (if using) into a slow cooker.
Cover and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours. The pears should become very soft.
Transfer the pears to a blender or food processor using a slotted spoon. Reserve the cooking liquid left in the slow cooker.
Purée the pears. Add cooking liquid as necessary to achieve a thick but spreadable consistency.
Spoon the pear butter into clean half or quarter-pint canning jars.
Use a butter knife or a spoon to press out any air bubbles. Leave 1/8-inch of head space.
Wipe the rims of the jars clean and screw on the canning lids.
Process in a boiling water bath for 20 minutes (adjust the time for your altitude if necessary).

Harps and Angels
Randy Newman's first batch of new material since 1999's excellent Bad Love, Harps and Angels follows many familiar Newman themes to their just placement. Produced by Mitchell Froom and Lenny Waronker, the album centers around Newman's rolling New Orleans piano and orchestrations, and his droll wit and bluesy singing that often sounds surprised by what transpires. The title track traces a man's spiritual reformation after being confronted with a near-death experience (he's called to Judgment Day by a clerical error). "Losing You" explores an elderly couple's inability to process the death of their son with their own lives' nearing an end. "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country" ran as an Op-Ed piece at the New York Times and has worked as the album's "advance single" recounting the missteps of the Bush administration. "Piece of the Pie" handles economic disparity. "Potholes" humorously recalls his father's ability to forget everything but Newman's own childhood failures. "Korean Parents" suggests that strict discipline and a hard-nosed work ethic is society's desperate need. Newman's that rare songwriter who never runs out of topics to cover.

MT. STERLING, Ill. – Dot Foods, the nation's largest food redistributor, is proud to announce the addition of Ferrero U.S.A. Inc. as its newest supplier, with deliveries beginning July 4. Ferrero U.S.A. manufactures Tic Tac®, Nutella® and Ferrero Rocher® chocolates.
Ferrero U.S.A. joins 14 other manufacturers as suppliers in Dot's confection category, which was created in 2006. Thanks to this new partnership with Dot Foods, Ferrero distributor customers may purchase Ferrero products with no minimum. In addition, Dot's weekly deliveries with a two- to four-day lead time enable the customers to respond faster to retailers' needs, while at the same time increasing inventory turns.
One such investment is the recent expansion of its Mt. Sterling, Ill., warehouse to add capacity for new manufacturers, as well as additional items for existing manufacturers. Dot added 136,000 square feet and reconfigured its current dry warehouse. Dot included a devoted area for confections, housing 2,000 slots as part of the overall expansion.
As the fourth largest confectionary company in the world, Ferroro Group opened its Ferrero U.S.A. Inc. business in the United States in 1969 with the introduction of the Tic Tac. Years later Ferrero introduced the Ferrero Rocher, the fine chocolate and hazelnut praline. Ferrero's Nutella spread continues to gain distribution and awareness across the country.

Q: Angular UI-Grid Support for BootStrap Popover? I'm trying to dig into the API of Angular UI-Grid in order to make sure I achieve the Bootstrap Popover for my cell header. I've been seeing all around but couldn't find any solution.
Something like this - plnkr.co/edit/UJJttN
I'm also trying to make that popover happens only for the header cell. Any suggestions?

A: Taking a look at the UI-Bootstrap documentation for popover:
https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/popover
You are using an old version of UI-Bootstrap in your plnkr, so if you upgrade you will need to change attributes popover="" and popover-template="", if you upgrade to latest, to uib-popover="" and uib-popover-template=""
That being said, you may notice a $ icon/badge next to the uib-popover-template attribute in the popover documentation (There is a duplicate without the badge, not sure why it is there.)
From the icon key in the documentation, the $ icon/badge means the following:

This setting expects an angular expression instead of a literal string. If the expression support a boolean / integer, you can pass it directly.

You need to put the URL to the popover template in a scope variable, and reference that in an angular expression in popover-template="ANGULAR.EXPRESSION", rather than passing it a literal string, as you are.
I've modified your plnkr to do it this way, and the popover now works as intended.
http://plnkr.co/edit/qc8MNQKch1IIdz2zVtRX?p=preview
Regarding the popover only for the header
Could you clarify, you want the popover to display only for the column header? In that case, you would need to use a headerCellTemplate, instead of a cellTemplate. I've also modified your plnkr to show how to do this. Hover over the Roles column header of grid 2 to see this, and examine the template file added to the plnkr.
In your plnkr example, you are referencing cell data in the static popover (grid 1) and in the template popover (grid 2). Was this just for testing purposes? Referencing 'row' for cell data would not be available from the headerCellTemplate.
I hope this is helpful!

A pair of new Sword Coast Legends gameplay videos offer an "extended look" at the game's campaign creation toolset, and illustrate how it will play from the Dungeon Master's perspective during a "real" dungeon run.
The Campaign Creation video highlights what appears to be a very flexible campaign editor. Players can create and customize dungeons with various sorts of highly-detailed detritus, place and modify merchants, quest givers, and monsters, and string together individual encounters and quests into a larger, overarching campaign. Encounters can be left at default or built entirely from scratch, as can individual monsters in dungeons, via the game's "Creature Creator."
Once complete, the campaign can be modified on the fly by the Dungeon Master. We've already seen how this system will work, but this new video is more of a "live fire exercise," as a group of four players embarks upon the adventure just built, while the DM manages the campaign separately. The nature of "threat," the resource used by DMs to modify dungeons, is clarified a bit, as are the DM's abilities: Traps cannot be dropped directly on players, for instance, and once the party enters a room, the default encounter can no longer be changed.
It looks impressive, and increasing or decreasing "threat" based on a party's success (or lack thereof) is an interesting way to go about limiting the Dungeon Master's powers. After all, it wouldn't be much fun if the DM could drop the hammer at will on a party that's been hanging on by a thread from the word "go." Sword Coast Legends comes out on September 8.

Policymaking Financial crimes
House banking panel to examine Wells Fargo, CFPB in March
By Hannah Lang February 25, 2019, 4:26 p.m. EST 1 Min Read
WASHINGTON — The House Financial Services Committee will hold eight hearings in March to examine issues ranging from oversight of Wells Fargo to the allocation of disaster recovery funds, Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., announced Monday.
The full committee will meet March 7 to conduct a semiannual review of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
On March 12, the committee will hold a hearing called Holding Megabanks Accountable: An Examination of Wells Fargo's Pattern of Consumer Abuses. This hearing will likely cover many of the numerous scandals Wells Fargo has found itself embroiled in the past two years, including the creation of 3.5 million fake accounts and the company's own admission that it had mistakenly foreclosed on more than 500 homes.
Waters will also lead a hearing March 13 on the reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program, which Congress has had to renew at least eight times since September 2017. Though lawmakers on both sides of the aisle generally agree that the program needs to be reformed, legislative efforts have stalled.
The subcommittee on investor protection, entrepreneurship and capital markets will meet twice next month, once to examine the Securities and Exchange Commission's best-interest rule and once to examine proposals to improve environmental, social and governance disclosures.

Buczyn Szlachecki – wieś w Polsce położona w województwie mazowieckim, w powiecie sokołowskim, w gminie Kosów Lacki. Obok miejscowości przepływa rzeczka Buczynka, dopływ Bugu.

W latach 1975–1998 miejscowość administracyjnie należała do województwa siedleckiego. Wieś ta liczy około stu osób. Jest typowo rolnicza. Graniczy z Buczynem Dworskim, Buczynem Nowym i Hilarowem.

Wierni wyznania rzymskokatolickiego zamieszkali w miejscowości należą do parafii Skibniew.

Wieś Buczyn położona nad rzeczką Buczynką (dawniej Sterdynia) dzieli się obecnie na Buczyn Szlachecki i Buczyn Dworski. Istnieje także Buczyn Nowy. Buczyn Szlachecki zamieszkały był przez drobną szlachtę zagrodową. Obecny Buczyn Dworski nosił dawniej nazwę Buczyn Chłopski bądź Ruski. Był to niegdyś oddzielny majątek, posiadający chłopów pańszczyźnianych. Przymiotnik Ruski sugeruje, że we wsi mieszkali chłopi – Rusini, osadzeni tu niegdyś przez jakiegoś dziedzica.  Podział Buczyna na dwie wsie nastąpił już co najmniej w połowie XVI wieku, gdyż już wówczas mieszkańcy obu wsi występują osobno.

Wieś Buczyn istniała już w 1430 r. W Metryce Mazowieckiej odnajdujemy zapis, z którego wynika, iż szlachcice ziemi ruskiej, (czyli drohickiej) Marcin z Morszkowa i Nador z Buczyna – bracia rodzeni, sprzedali całą swoją ojcowiznę we wsi Nieckowo (dzisiaj Skarżanek  na południe od Ciechanowa) w ziemi ciechanowskiej swym pozostałym braciom: Piotrowi, Dersławowi i Janowi z Nieckowa. Dziedzice Nieckowa byli herbu Ślepowron; założyli także wsie o nazwie Nieciki i Nieckowo w Ziemi Wiskiej, gdzie również byli znani z tym herbem. Także Buczyńscy z Buczyna w ziemi drohickiej byli poświadczeni z herbem Ślepowron. Nador otrzymał Buczyn najpewniej od księcia Witolda.

Kolejnych dziedziców Buczyna spotykamy dopiero w 2 poł. XV w. W 1463 r. były rozgraniczane dobra niejakiego Telaka, (czyli dzisiejsze Telaki) i Buczyńskich, niewymienionych z imienia. Z odpisu znamy dokument z roku 1464, w którym Piotr z Buczyna i jego bratankowie: Wit, Mikołaj, Bartłomiej i Stanisław dzielą się Buczynem.  Być może właśnie wtedy dokonał się podział dóbr Buczyn na dwie wsie. Wspomniani bratankowie byli synami Stanisława, którego imię pojawia się ponad 50 lat później w procesie z Mikołajem Wolajewskim, którego ojciec Jan miał rzekomo przejąć część należącą do zmarłego Stanisława.

W 1470 r. napotykamy braci Mikołaja i Pawła oraz syna tegoż Pawła – Jana, którzy świadczyli "Koziętom" Kobylańskim. W 1474 r. Mikołaj Buczyński ręczył Wojciechowi Kostce za Piotra Prostyńskiego. W 1477 r. pleban ze Skibniewa - Stanisław stawił w konsystorzu świadków przeciwko Mikołajowi z Buczyna. W zapisie tym wspomniany jest też Maciej z Buczyna. W 1473 r. występował ponadto Bartłomiej z Buczyna. W 1476 r. Mikołaj Buczyński miała sprawę w sądzie ze Stanisławem Dyszem, w 1477 z Telakiem. W następnym roku Mikołaj i Wojciech zeznali dług Wojciechowi Kostce Skibniewskiemu – podsędkowi ziemskiemu drohickiemu w kwocie 11 kop groszy. W tym samym roku bracia wzięli w dzierżawę ziemię od Szczepana Telaka. W 1479 Mikołaj Buczyński contra Jakimowski. W 1480 Mikołaj i Wojciech synowie Piotrasza Buczyńskiego byli winni 11 kop groszy podsędkowi Wojciechowi Kostce Skibniewskiemu. W 1480 roku wymienieni są: Mikołaj Buczyński i jego bracia stryjeczni: Trojan i Andrzej Morszkowscy. Mikołaj pozwał ich o bellica (podatek wojenny), co świadczy o tym, że mieli w owym czasie jeszcze jakąś współwłasność. Mikołaj powołał jako świadków swych stryjów. W 1480 r. Wojciech procesował się z Jakubem Trzcieńskim. Rok później odnotowano w księgach sprawę Jana Buczyńskiego z Buczyna przeciwko jego bratu Mikołajowi stamtąd. W 1487 r. ponownie występowali bracia Jan i Mikołaj. W latach 1480–1481 występował ponadto Stanisław – wójt z Buczyna. Bracia: Mikołaj, Paweł i Wojciech mogli być synami (lub najdalej wnukami) Nadbora  z 1430 r.  Paweł miał syna Jana wymienianego w latach 1470–1480.

W 1528 roku na popisie wojennym Województwa Podlaskiego z Buczyna wsi ziemianie wystawili 3 konie.

As an grownup, keep in mind to supervise little children at all times to steer clear of any accidents.

Johann Oelkers (* 14. April 1849 in Wilhelmsburg; † 28. Juli 1912 in Hamburg) war ein deutscher Werftbesitzer.

Leben und Wirken

Johann Oelkers hatte einen gleichnamigen Onkel, bei dem er den Beruf des Schiffszimmermanns erlernte. Später führte er dessen Betrieb weiter und pachtete am 1. Mai 1876 ein Grundstück in Steinwerder. Hier bot er anfangs Schiffzimmerarbeiten und Reparaturen an. Da er keine theoretischen Kenntnisse besaß, besuchte er Abendkurse, darunter bei Friedrich Ludwig Middendorf. 1880 begann er selbst, eiserne Schuten und Kähne zu bauen. 1888 hatte seine Werft 20 Mitarbeiter.

Aufgrund von Erweiterungen des Freihafens verlegte Oelkers den Betrieb auf ein gepachtetes Gelände in Neuhof, das anfangs nicht hochwassersicher war. Hier baute er kleinere Schiffe wie Schleppdampfer, Motorbarkassen und vergleichbare Boote. Im Unternehmen arbeiteten seine Söhne John (1878–1948), Wilhelm (1880–1957) und Otto (1886–1960) mit, die nach Berufsausbildungen Schiff- und Schiffsmaschinenbau studiert hatten. Als Johann Oelkers 1912 starb, beschäftigte das Unternehmen 120 Mitarbeiter.

Nach den Weltkriegen produzierte die Oelkers-Werft Schlepper und kleine Spezialschiffe. 1988 ging die Werft erstmals insolvent. Im Rahmen einer Auffanglösung existierte sie bis zum finalen Konkurs 1991.

Johann Oelkers wurde auf dem Friedhof Ohlsdorf beigesetzt. Die Familiengrabstätte im Planquadrat AF 29 nahe der Kapelle 6 existiert zwar noch, ist jedoch verwaist.

East Ghouta a war zone despite truce: 'Warplanes began flying this morning'
By Ammar Hamou, Dan Wilkofsky
AMMAN: The Syrian regime escalated its military campaign against East Ghouta this week, conducting airstrikes against civilian targets as it attempts to break into the encircled, rebel-held suburbs of Damascus, local military and medical personnel told Syria Direct Thursday.
Warplanes struck a hospital, school and two Civil Defense buildings in the town of Deir al-Asafir, roughly 10km southeast of central Damascus, killing 32 civilians, Mahmoud Adam, spokesman for the Civil Defense in East Ghouta, told Syria Direct.
"The warplanes began flying overhead early this morning—a series of air strikes on the towns in the Damascus countryside followed, with the biggest crime committed against the residents of Deir al-Asafir," Adam said on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the Syrian army and its allies tried unsuccessfully to storm the rebel-held city of Douma, the headquarters of Islamist brigade Jaish al-Islam located in northern East Ghouta.
"The regime tried to sneak into [Douma] from the direction of the Damascus highway, but rebels drove back their attempt," Hamza al-Beiraqdar, spokesman for Jaish al-Islam, told Syria Direct Thursday.
Regime artillery then struck the area in a bid to aid advancing forces—"but that failed again, and we were able to kill more than five regime soldiers," said al-Beiraqdar.
Regime warplanes also bombed the city of Douma on Wednesday, hitting a mosque in the city, reported pro-opposition satellite station Al-Aan.
State media did not comment about the recent fighting in Douma.
Meanwhile, the Syrian army and its allies are continuing a campaign in southern East Ghouta to break up contiguous areas of rebel control, specifically in the Marj region, in order to drive a wedge between Ghouta's north and south. Two days after the internationally brokered cessation of hostilities went into effect on February 27, regime forces took new territory in the Marj region and have tried to gain additional ground since.
Pro-regime media outlets reported on Wednesday that the Syrian Arab Army cut off the last supply route leading from northern East Ghouta to villages in al-Marj, where they claim Jabhat a-Nusra has a presence. But a war photographer from inside Marj, who preferred anonymity, told Syria Direct Thursday that "the road is still passable, but with difficulty."
Marj is a cluster of 28 villages and contains fertile agricultural land. It serves as "the agricultural storehouse for East Ghouta, with huge agricultural plots and fruit-bearing trees...that have helped ease the siege" on East Ghouta, Abu Suleiman, member of the Outer Damascus Provincial Council, which organizes civilian life and municipal services in the rebel-held area, told Syria Direct earlier this month.
A regime takeover of the breadbasket of East Ghouta—encircled for nearly four years—will squeeze civilians even harder, a rebel fighter in Marj told Syria Direct at the start of the regime's latest campaign.
The two main brigades in East Ghouta, Feilaq a-Rahman and Jaish al-Islam, are signatories to the international cessation of hostilities agreement, and say they are adhering to it because they are seeking to hold the territory already in their possession, while the regime is violating it by conducting offensive operations.
"All of the brigades operational in Marj are part of either Jaish al-Islam or Feilaq a-Rahman," said provincial council member Abu Suleiman. Neither Jabhat a-Nusra nor the Islamic State, who Abu Suleiman says have no presence in Marj, are included under the international ceasefire agreement.
"The nationwide cessation of hostilities is to apply to any party currently engaged in military or paramilitary hostilities against any other parties other than 'Daesh', 'Jabhat a-Nusra', or other terrorist organizations designated by the UN Security Council," reads the ceasefire announcement.
One rebel spokesman sees that the regime's latest attempts to progress in East Ghouta are connected with international negotiations starting in Geneva to find a political solution to the five-year old Syrian civil war.
"The international community is heading faster and faster towards a solution to the conflict," said Wael Alwan, spokesman for Feilaq a-Rahman, one of the largest rebel groups in East Ghouta.
"Therefore the regime is trying, before the upcoming negotiations, to increase its area of control."

On Saturday night, teaming up with Conduit Arts Initiative, Melbourne Spoken Word put on our first poetry gig as an organisation and website, presenting six poets in a lovely art space on Brunswick Street to an intimate crowd. I performed alongside a bit of an 'all-star' lineup of Melbourne poets: Kerry Loughrey, Santo Cazzati, Randall Stephens, Amanda Anastasi and Steve Smart, who all presented unique performances, showcasing the diverse nature of the scene, and utilising the space. It was refreshing to be in a space with no microphone and people were able to use their voice in interesting ways, to pin-drop silence.
Conduit Arts Initiative have a very under-rated space on Brunswick Street. It is dedicated for performance and so everyone there was there to listen to poetry. And the acoustics of the room meant I could use my voice how I intend to. It was a very liberating experience as a poet to perform there. Randall Stephens also used the space very well, even stepping out onto the street at one point and broached that unconscious divide between 'stage' and audience.
This was the first time we put on an event as a website. I've done a few myself, but there will be more now. You don't want to miss the next one.

Ranking #1 In Google Search Results All Day Long… Booyah!
What exactly do all these small businesses have in common?
But, as always, let's back up a little bit.
The above examples are just a small sampling of the local businesses (SMBs) that have joined LittleBizzy as hosting clients in the past few years, and in turn seen their rankings in search engines noticeably improve — sometimes drastically. These are established companies who chose to skip the "cheap stuff" (like Wix or SquareSpace) and opt instead for custom WordPress websites that are hosted on a dedicated VPS server located as close to their audience as possible.
But as I often like to say, web agencies like LittleBizzy shouldn't be in the business of making promises or "ranking guarantees" but rather focus on quality-first. Anyone who sells B2B/B2C services eventually swings one way or the other (hint: the ones who over-promise and cut-corners don't usually retain much business).
Hehe… you gotta love it.
Ranking "number one" is fun to say, and fun to see — when it happens. Ultimately, however, the truth is that Google's search algorithms change on a weekly, sometimes even daily basis, and this is becoming more true as time goes on, as things like mobile phones and geotargeting continue to customize each user's results.
Still, there are clear instances where your audience and target phrases are very defined, and likely won't be changing for the lifetime of your business. "Best pizza in Las Vegas" for example, is probably a phrase that any pizza shop would wish to rank for, up until the day they close (or sell) their business. The point here is that Google's algorithms have evolved so much where a pizza shop probably isn't going to rank for such phrases unless they are focus on high quality across the board: delicious food, positive customer experiences (e.g. online reviews), a fast-loading website, online order forms (with SSL), and several attractive photos of their pizza available across social media, their homepage, and even on some of the local food blogs.
Here's the takeaway: LittleBizzy clients don't rank #1 solely because of LittleBizzy. They rank #1 because they are following a pattern of decision making that prioritizes high quality products and services, company transparency, and well-organized online presences. What LittleBizzy brings to the table is just the icing on the cake, so to speak — although in many cases, our "icing" is enough to push them several notches higher in search results!
The reason that I try to post occasional "feel good" stories is to remind LittleBizzy clients of what they are paying for, and just how much behind-the-scenes attention that me and my team invest to their success on a daily basis.
Could businesses — like those mentioned above — have ranked #1 in Google without us? Yes, surely they could have, with high enough quality web hosting, properly installed SSL certificates, and the good sense and focus on quality that most of them already prioritize with their own customers and reputations.
The point is, and our lesson as a web host has been, that if our prices are fair, and our quality can't be beat, then we are going to continue retaining a very high percentage of the small business clients that cross paths with us!
Thankfully, more and more often its local businesses realizing the value in quality hosting — not just the big guys. Because they are realizing the same thing as us… cutting corners is just never worth it.

GROW, or Global Resiliency Outreach Work, provides innovative programs
to at-risk youth that foster emotional resiliency and broaden life perspective.
MEET THE KIDS
GROW works in under-served communities, partnering with schools and other agencies to improve students' overall wellbeing—socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically and academically. We want to empower at-risk youth to broaden their horizons and to help them understand that leading a productive, fulfilling life requires training, just like running a marathon. It's about the development of healthy life habits that are the foundation of lifelong resiliency.
Studies have shown that childhood trauma causes depression and anxiety that can become central health issues and predispose children to a host of mental and physical disorders such as addiction, AD/HD, obesity, heart disease, asthma and cancer (www.acestudy.org). We provide programs to address this trauma in the form of traditional process groups, mentoring and counseling. These programs are rooted in the traditions of cognitive, supportive and milieu therapy, as well as drug and alcohol recovery, with a measure of old fashioned common sense.
"How can we support each other?"
We provide a venue of safety and trust in our process groups. Over time, kids begin to accept support from each other and us. We inspire an ethos of empathy and support that transcends the classroom and fosters gradual, but powerful, shifts towards positive behavior and thinking.
"I trust you with my life. Our group is special. We are like a family."
7th grader
COGNITIVE RESTRUCTURING
"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
We walk kids through a process to:
1. Recognize detrimental thought habits.
2. Challenge and dismantle negative patterns.
3. Substitute positive, beneficial thoughts and beliefs.
We empower them to take ownership of their actions and determine their own futures, rather than allow themselves to be defined by someone else's script.
"You've helped me to open up and express my feelings. You've helped me understand that I can be anything I want to be."
"What am I feeling?"
Many of our traumatized kids are so emotionally numb, or disassociated, that they can't identify, let alone process, their feelings. They lack self-esteem and tend to react with knee-jerk responses, panic or anxiety. These responses range from withdrawal to violent outbursts. Our groups train them to face their feelings and develop tools to handle the painful ones. This leads to a greater capability to make balanced decisions and exercise good judgment.
"I'm a much better person than I ever was. I learned to 'Stop, Think, Act' and don't let people have so much power over my actions… I don't fight like I used to."
The following true stories, selected from many, highlight how GROW helps kids gain an understanding of themselves. All names have been changed to protect the identities of the children.
is a shy seventh grader who, after some time, realized that her father's release from prison was causing confusion. She and her siblings were subjected to intense domestic violence, death threats, substance abuse, and abandonment. Though she carried this heavy burden, she gradually learned to open up and give and receive support.
"I realized everyone struggles in life just like me... You've helped ne overcome my fears and realize the truth about my life."
is a solid student whose mother recently committed suicide, His ability to open up and share his pain and guilt over her mental illness helped him come to terms with her death. While nothing can erase the pain or restore his childhood, the group became an important venue to air his feelings, and a powerful source of support and love.
"I wanted to not think about it and just make believe it never happened…I'm grateful for this place to be real and talk about her"
is a vivacious, popular student whose outgoing nature belies her troubled home life. Her pain and confusion over sexual, physical, and emotional trauma manifested in repeated behavioral issues, including physical altercations and suicidal ideation. Her grades were poor and she was often on behavioral probation. With a support, understanding in group, and one-on-one counseling, she is learning to dismantle her negative thought and behavior patterns and reprogram them. Her grades are up, her behavior has improved dramatically, and she hopes to attend college.
"You made me realize that life is beautiful. I feel like life is worth living and I'm going to get out of here one day and find a peaceful place."

Jean-Baptiste Joseph d'Hane de Steenhuyse (Gent 6 februari 1797 - 30 november 1858) was Belgisch volksvertegenwoordiger en senator.

Familie
Jonkheer Jean-Baptiste Joseph Charles Marie d'Hane de Steenhuyse behoorde tot een familie die in 1641 'voor zoveel als nodig' adelserkenning verkreeg en in 1768 door keizerin Maria Theresia begiftigd werd met de titel van graaf.

Zijn vader was graaf Jean-Baptiste d'Hane de Steenhuyse (Gent 1757-1826), laatste heer van het prinsdom Steenhuyse en zijn moeder was Marie-Madeleine Rodriguez d'Evora y Vega (Gent  1760 - Leeuwergem 1842). Het echtpaar kreeg zes kinderen, van wie alleen Charles nakomelingen had.

Jean-Baptiste Joseph trouwde in 1823 met Adelaïde de Potter (Gent 1803 - Nice 1844), een dochter van Edouard de Potter (1769-1846), heer van Indoye. Het huwelijk bleef kinderloos.

Levensloop
D'Hane studeerde rechten aan de universiteit van Luik en behaalde er in 1819 zijn diploma met een dissertatie over de juryrechtspraak.

Net als zijn vader en zijn broers werd hij opgenomen in de ridderschap van Oost-Vlaanderen onder het Verenigd koninkrijk der Nederlanden. Hij werd lid van de provinciale staten voor Oost-Vlaanderen (1824-1830) en van de opvolger 'Comité de Conservation' (1830-1836).

Hij werd verder, na de Belgische onafhankelijkheid, orangistisch gemeenteraadslid van Gent (1830-1836) en beheerder-inspecteur van de Universiteit van Gent (1835-1848). Hij werd eveneens burgemeester van Elene.

Net als zijn broer Charles behoorde hij tijdens de eerste jaren van zijn politieke loopbaan tot de liberale familie maar sloot later aan bij de katholieken. Het is onder de katholieke vlag dat hij volksvertegenwoordiger werd (1833-1835) en senator (1837-1858).

Sociaal katholicisme
D'Hane nam actief deel aan de pogingen van professor François Huet (1814-1869) om een sociaal katholicisme uit te bouwen. Samen publiceerden ze gedurende een paar jaar het driemaandelijks tijdschrift Nouvelles archives historiques, philosophiques et littéraires.

Lincoln Elementary School invited Augusta American Legion members to speak to the student body last Friday morning. Harold Scheaffer, Post Adjutant, assisted by Karen Scheaffer, Auxiliary Unit Vice-President, gave a presentation about the various symbols of the United States, including the flag, the bald eagle, and Uncle Sam. Following the presentation, post members Roy Pickett, John Tomlin, and Joe Vogel helped Mr. Scheaffer in a flag folding ceremony, while Myrna Rogers, Auxiliary President, read the meaning of each fold of the flag.
Harold Scheaffer, a representative of the Joe Foss Institute, presented the book "A Proud American" an autobiograpahy written by Joe Foss, to the school principal for their library. Myrna Rogers then presented a copy of the Braille Flag, including the pledge of allegiance in Braille, to the principal. A spirited question and answer period followed, which allowed the students time to ask questions of any of the presenters.


The scheme supporting variable speed drives to reduce electricity bills from milking machines has now closed for this year.
The SEAI has received 174 applications to retrofit vacuum or milk pumps with energy-saving devices.
The number of dairy farmers applying for energy-saving grants doubled this year, according to the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
Some 174 farmers applied for support to retrofit vacuum or milk pump systems with variable speed drive and controls, which cut electricity use in milking parlours. This is up from around 90 last year, of which 69 were successful in securing an average €4,000 grant.
Over 100 of this year's applicants have already been cleared, as processing continues since the closing of the scheme, SEAI small business manager Andrea Carroll told the Irish Farmers Journal.
The SEAI has also opened a new 30% grant scheme for LED lighting, open to all small businesses including farmers, with €2m available.
It is different from the recent requirement for all lighting under TAMS II to be LED and the requirements of the two schemes are different, which means a single project cannot be double-granted, Carroll explained.
"There is a lot of interest in it and the time frame is quite short," she added, encouraging farmers to apply before the 28 May deadline.
The Ornua index has fallen below a 30c/l farmgate price excluding VAT for the first time in the past year.
Ornua's purchase price index (PPI) fell by over 3% in March, the co-op reported this Wednesday.
"The adjustment for March reflects lower butter, powder and cheese prices," an Ornua spokesperson told the Irish Farmers Journal.
The index is worth 29.4c/l excluding VAT, based on Ornua's product purchase mix and assuming processing costs of 6.5c/l. This is the lowest point since last April.
Co-ops will start setting milk prices for March in the coming days and any drop would hit farmers at a time when seasonal milk supply is ramping up.
Farming organisations have urged processors to hold milk prices and at least match the PPI value.

Q: I'm looking for this FPC connector I'm looking for this board, but I don't know the correct name:

Anyone knows the name?

A: A good place to start would be this Digikey search for 26-position, FPC, top-conductor connectors. You didn't provide images of both sides of the flex cable or a picture of the connector with a ruler, so I can't be sure what pin pitch the connector you have is.
To search through the available FPC connectors by type, contact number, contact pitch, etc., consider Digikey's or Mouser's selection of board-mount connectors.
If you can provide more information/pictures, your specific connector could be more easily identified. However, do not expect to find the exact same part number as the one you have, just one that is probably compatible.

Police release CCTV appeal after car involved in two crashes in the same night
Officers are particularly keen to track down a dog walker who may have witnessed events
The dog walker police think may have witnessed the collisions in Looe
Police investigating two road traffic collisions on the same night in Looe have issued an appeal for information.
They happened between midnight and 12.30am on Sunday February 17 in Church End and Quay Road.
A number of parked cars were seriously damaged and it is believed the same offending vehicle was involved in both incidents.
Police say the driver did not stop or report the collisions but fortunately nobody was injured.
Police would like to hear from anyone who may have seen either collision, or a vehicle being driven recklessly around Looe between midnight and 3am on 17 February.
Officers would also like to speak to a male seen on CCTV walking his dog on Quay Road around the time of the collisions.
The dog walker police want to speak to
The man, who is a potential witness and is in no way connected to the offending vehicle, may have seen one of the incidents.
Members of the public are urged to come forward with any information regarding the offending vehicle or the potential witness.
Call police on 101, or email 101@dc.police.uk, quoting reference number: EN/009448/19.

I just think there's already been too much power conceded to governments and politicians in the name of security.
Any photographer that's spent time in Jakarta has probably been to this Chinese temple in Jakarta which for hundreds of years has heard the fervent prayers of jakarta's Chinese community and an equal number of prayers from photographers praying for a great picture. It was badly burnt Monday with the main temple completely destroyed.
I don't know where the B&W challenge started but I've seen a lot of it. Last week my friend Mark Baker challenged me which meant that for the following 5 days I had to post a B&W image everyday. Since I've been recovering from ankle surgery, that meant dipping into my archive everyday – I really enjoyed it and hope everyone else did too. I originally posted the pictures on Facebook but thought I'd give them a run here.
After a lengthy hiatus recovering from knee surgery, I'm back to work; and first up, is a story about the dark and dangerous world of the artisinal gold miner. Artisinal is a term of art which really means small groups of guys tearing up mountains with prybars and digging holes deep into the ground without the benefit of engineering know-how or equipment to go after the shiny yellow metal which has been rising in price. Consequently, men who have spent most of their lives fishing or farming are now tunneling and often these tunnels are just narrow holes propped up by old sticks and hope.

WATCH: Hearing for Couple Accused of Kidnapping 20-Year-Old Woman
by Law & Crime Staff | 11:45 am, July 31st, 2017
The couple allegedly connected to the kidnapping of still-missing 20-year-old Heather Elvis will head to court Monday in Conway, South Carolina. Husband Sidney Moorer was scheduled for a 10 a.m. hearing on an obstruction of justice charge in connection to the case, while wife Tammy Moorer will appear in court at 11 a.m. for a contempt of court charge. She was accused of violating a gag order.
Elvis disappeared in 2013, but she hasn't turned up yet. Mr. Moorer stood trial for the kidnapping in 2016, but that ended in hung jury. The obstruction of justice charge stems from an allegation that he tried to stop investigators from finding her. Murder charges against the couple were dismissed in 2016.

Generally plants raised after the 1950-60's were not bred for hardiness, whereas the old border plants, which have survived, do not need to be lifted and dependably provide a feast of colour every autumn.
A quote from John Woolman (1992) who in his lifetime was President of the National Chrysanthemum Society and holder of the RHS Victoria Medal of Honour and Veitch Gold Memorial Medal.
"These plants can be grown with the minimum of effort and without the worry of winter storage"
Hardy Chrysanthemums can be mixed in a general herbaceous border using the available heights of individual cultivars to mingle with other plants. For maximum effect plant in-groups of three or five of one colour. The heights of these chrysanthemums can vary from 45cm to over 1.5m, with all forms of flower types represented from singles, semi-doubles, doubles and pompons. Also the petal (ray floret) shape can vary in a very pleasing way from flat, spoon, quilled or boat shape, with the visible central discs (disc florets) being mainly yellow or occasionally green. Many are scented providing a nectar feast late in the season for hoverflies, bees and butterflies.
For spring interest mix these chrysanthemums with plants which appreciate shade later on in the season such as hellebores, primroses, Dicentra, Corydalis, and Viola. Alternatively, the spring bulbs such as tulips, crocus and daffodils, which die down after flowering, provide good partners.
Summer interest plants which can look untidy, such as Papaver oriental cultivars and alliums associate well with the green growing chrysanthemum plants providing cover. Alternatively they can be mixed in the autumn border with asters, Eupatorium, sedums, Japanese anemones, and grasses. This autumn bounty will give plenty of interesting material to cut for the house with the chrysanthemums lasting as long in a vase as any florist flower. True these flowers are not as highly bred as the florist ones but they have a grace and elegance all of there own.
Hardy chrysanthemums are as easy to grow as the majority of border perennials. These will do well in a sunny border where the soil has been well prepared. A general fertiliser such as blood, fish, and bone or Growmore worked into the soil each spring at a handful per square metre plus a good mulch of compost applied around the plants, will give them a good start to the season.
Every two to three years, to prevent over crowding, split in May or thin out the weakest shoots in June or July. Retain the strongest individual offsets with the most roots and replant them at least 40cm apart into soil prepared as above. Firm and water them in well. If an increase of stock is needed, conventional cuttings an also be taken at this point, using cut material some 6cm long inserted into gritty open compost and kept in a protected cold frame until rooted (approximately three weeks). The plants can be pinched in late May or not depending on the effect wanted, stocky plants or plants which may weave around other types of flowers or foliage.
Overcrowding leads to more trouble than any other cause. Care must be taken to ensure there is no check during the rapid growth in late summer. Check again for overcrowding thin out again if necessary and water well if there has been a lack of rain. Stake plants if necessary as with any other border plant. Good husbandry at this stage will reap rewards with the subsequent autumn display.
Overfed border plants do not resist frosts well and can over-winter badly, something to bear in mind if you wish for late colour in the garden. A good indication as to winter hardiness is the amount of basal growth showing when the plants are cut down in December. Destroy the dead top growth (to prevent disease) and in exposed borders lightly cover the plants with a dry mulch, cutting the stems back also prevents winter rock exposing the roots.
If you wish to keep a cultivar of doubtful hardiness, especially if the plant is small, then take up, immediately after flowering and pot up in a well-drained compost and place in a cold frame or greenhouse over winter. Some plants are very cold tolerant but succumb to winter wet so do observe your local conditions. Gaps in the border can be filled with chrysanthemums from a stock bed and can be moved even in bud if sufficient root is taken and the plant is watered in well.
Having a mixed border will help reduce the quantity of pests as a large stand of just one type of plant is more attractive to pests and allows quicker multiplication. Within a mixed planting there is a greater range of flowers offering nectar to beneficial insects, so a stable balance is easier to achieve. Good husbandry, especially in avoiding overcrowding, will increase the airflow through a clump and lesson the chances of rust developing.
"There are 2 types of rust affecting Chrysanthemums: white and brown rusts caused by the fungi Puccinnia horiana and P.chrysanthemi respectively. White rust is the most serious disease. Infected leaves exhibit yellow to tan spots on the upper surface which correspond to dirty buff/white pustules on the undersides. This disease is rapidly spread and difficult to control as the fungus survives on plants and stools.Complete destruction of all affected plants is recommended. Spraying healthy Chrysanthemums with an approved fungicide such as Systhane may prevent infection. Spraying should cover the whole plant, especially the underside of leaves."
Garden Centre's have a small range of chemicals available such as Provado and Systhane, but check the packet carefully, as chrysanthemums can be sensitive to some garden insecticides.
If a stem shows leaf death starting at the bottom and going progressively higher this may be eelworm damage.
In early spring emerging new growth may be damaged by slugs, the use of a slug pellets, especially those less harmful to beneficial creatures, such as Ferramol is recommended.
