Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably one of the best footballers of all time. His achievements in the game will be hard feat to beat for young and current footballers.
No sooner had wonderkid Alejandro Garnacho announced his arrival in the Premier League than Cristiano Ronaldo dropped a bombshell. The delirium and sheer ecstacy that engulfed the end of the Premier League encounter at Craven Cottage between Fulham and Manchester United quickly decapitated into despair and agony.
The bombshell Cristiano Ronaldo has dropped is good riddance for Manchester United as they can beginning to prepare for life without Cristiano Ronaldo. Time has come for the Manager to empower and trust the young talents of Garnacho, Anthony Santos, Jadon Sancho, Anthony Elanga, Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford. Besides the team already seems a better proposition without Cristiano Ronaldo. Cristiano Ronaldo has just signed off the chances of Portugal performing better at the World Cup. Much as he is the leader of the pack, he will be leading a pack which is disjointed and disunited because of his lack of respect for the club manager.
The bombshell will help the Manchester United manager to focus on a group and begin to prepare them to have they identity of the manager in charge of the team.
Any team wishing to sign Cristiano Ronaldo after his interview with Piers Morgan will be purely for unknown sporting reasons. Cristiano Ronaldo through this interview has proved that he is a virus to any team and this virus is ready to destroy the DNA of them. Signing Cristiano Ronaldo at this stage would be purely for economic reasons because of the huge following that he commands world over. For example, When he moved to Juventus, Supersport a pay channel never used to televise the Serie A but that all changed when he moved to Italy. That is an example of the economic benefits that the brand Cristiano Ronaldo brings. However, he needs to understand that Age is not on his side and that coaches are not focused on investing in older players like him but more in young players who would generate a greater value for the club in the future.
We are all agree that the running of Manchester United since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson and David Gill has not been anything to write home about. But for a player under contract to publicly question the running of the club is the surelest way of one tearing their own contract. This brings into perspective the debate between him and Lionel Messi. When Messi was wounded out of Barcelona he never gave an interview demeaning the club but for Cristiano Ronaldo his misdemeanors should never be talked about, only the misdemeanors of the club. Perhaps it could be the reason Messi is more preferred over him because maybe of his attitude.
One can never take away his talent and exploits on the pitch but his actions lately have caused all the wrong headlines at the club. Perhaps, he should have been wiser to know that this would disrupt the morale in team and cause a revolt in the dressing room if the Manager keeps giving him more opportunities despite his public shortcomings.
The Interview with Piers Morgan seems a well calculated move for him to force his way out of Old Trafford. Buying Ronaldo by any team will be like Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers selling an inform Suarez to Barcelona and replace him with ill disciplined Mario Baloteli under the guise of giving him a Discipline oriented contract. Clearly Cristiano Ronaldo has shown how ill disciplined he is.
Cristiano Ronaldo should realize that no player or individual will be bigger than an institution or club however poorly run it is.

Sandy Hook Promise Responds to the Hearing on Extreme Risk Protection Order Legislation in New Hampshire
Sandy Hook Promise Responds to the Hearing on
Extreme Risk Protection Order Legislation in New Hampshire
March 6, 2019 -- Newtown, CT -- Yesterday, the New Hampshire House of Representatives heard testimony on proposed legislation to establish Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs), which would allow family members and law enforcement officers to petition a judge to temporarily separate firearms from an individual who is at risk of harming themselves or someone else.
In response to the testimony, Sandy Hook Promise, a leading national gun violence prevention organization, issued the following statement:
"As we have seen in far too many shootings, when a loved one is in crisis, family members are often the first to see the signs and signals of potential violence. Extreme Risk Protection Orders are a critical tool to stop violence before it can happen because they allow family members and law enforcement to intervene quickly when someone is posing a threat to themselves or others," said Mark Barden, co-founder and managing director of Sandy Hook Promise, and father of Daniel who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy. "We stand with the brave survivors that shared their grief and pain with the committee -- and support the demand for this life-saving legislation, so that no other parent has to endure the senseless loss of a child to gun violence."
ERPOs have been proven to help avert suicides and other acts of gun violence and have been passed in 14 states. Sandy Hook Promise views ERPOs as a key part of ending the growing number of school shootings and overall epidemic of gun violence in our country.
About Sandy Hook Promise: Sandy Hook Promise (SHP) is a national nonprofit organization based in Newtown, Connecticut. SHP is led by several family members whose loved ones were killed in the tragic mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School on December 14, 2012. SHP's mission is to prevent gun violence and other forms of violence and victimization BEFORE they can happen by creating a culture of engaged youth and adults committed to identifying, intervening, and getting help for individuals who might be at risk of hurting themselves or others. SHP is a moderate, above-the-politics organization that supports sensible program and
policy solutions that address the "human-side" of gun violence by preventing individuals from ever getting to the point of picking up a firearm to hurt themselves or others. Our words, actions and impact nationwide are intended to honor all victims of gun violence by turning our tragedy into a moment of transformation.

The President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection
John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963. Almost 30 years later, Congress enacted the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act of 1992. The Act mandated that all assassination-related material be housed in a single collection in the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The resulting Collection consists of more than 5 million pages of assassination-related records, photographs, motion pictures, sound recordings and artifacts (approximately 2,000 cubic feet of records).

Cornelius van Wyk (? - Rehoboth, 25 april 1924) was de tweede kaptyn van de Rehoboth Basters.

Biografie
Na de dood van zijn vader Hermanus van Wyk in 1905 werd de positie van kaptyn door de Duitse kolonisten afgeschaft. Met het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog in 1914 waren de Duitsgezinde Basters formeel in oorlog met de Britsgezinde Unie van Zuid-Afrika, maar bij een geheime ontmoeting op 1 april 1915 in Swakopmund beloofde de Zuid-Afrikaanse premier Louis Botha onafhankelijkheid voor de Basters als ze in opstand zouden komen tegen de Duitsers.

Van Wyk accepteerde Botha's aanzoek en verklaarde de oorlog aan Duitsland. Op 8 mei 1915 versloegen de Basters de Duitsers bij Sam Kubis. Duits-Zuidwest-Afrika werd door de Unie van Zuid-Afrika veroverd en op 9 juli 1915 werd Rehoboth als thuisland erkend. Van formele onafhankelijkheid was echter geen sprake, en meerdere verzoeken van de Basters om erkenning vonden geen gehoor.

Van Wyk overleed in 1924 en werd opgevolgd door Albert Mouton, die het jaar daarop tegen de Zuid-Afrikaanse regering in opstand kwam.

Eldrazi @ 2019 Dillon Works, Inc. – Celebrating 30 Years of Design & Fabrication of Almost Anything!
In the modern world of marketing there is perhaps no greater tool than that of social media. When we were approached with the idea to build a twenty-seven foot tall beast from another dimension wreaking havoc on the streets of downtown Seattle, Wizards of the Coast's intention was to furnish the visitors of the PAX gaming convention with a scene of such spectacle that they would not be able to resist sharing it with the wider world via the internet. Making it happen in the three day window of the convention without anyone seeing it before the opening day was up to us.
We built a detailed scale model of the creature and had it 3-D scanned. Then, using the files created, we CNC cut the enormous pieces out of EPS foam and re-assembled them over a steel armature that we constructed as a tripod. This was done to accommodate the requirements that the entire structure be both freestanding and in compliance with all applicable city codes for earthquake and wind shear. Three one-hundred gallon rain barrels were placed inside the "trunk" of the beast for additional ballast. Once on site, it took two forklifts, one crane and a crew of fourteen to place the sections together over the sidewalk. All of this was done under cover of darkness and with the Eldrazi wrapped in plastic so as not to spoil the surprise on the first day of the convention. Finally, the mangled police car was put in place and an actual Seattle City light pole used to disguise the third leg of the tripod. Smoke, slabs of broken concrete and flashing lights finished the scene nicely.

Do you want to backup your Ubuntu machine? Well, Ubuntu 11.10 comes with a pre-installed backup software which is Déjà Dup Backup Tool. Today I will show how can you take a backup of your system and restore it using this tool.
Click on the power icon and then select system settings.
On the system settings window click on the backup icon.
1. Overview – shows us general overview and options as well as the Back Up Now and Restore buttons.
2. Storage – lets us choose our backup location and folder. I'm going to choose a local folder and for Folder I'm going to choose desktop. So this is where the backup will be saved to.
3. Folders – Here we can choose which folders are backed up. So we'll be backing up the Home folder in this situation. You can use the plus and minus at the bottom to add and remove folders. On the other side we can add some folders to ignore during backup.
4. Schedule – Here we can choose how often we wanna do a backup and how long do you want to keep the backup that you saved.
Note: You can turn on automatic backups from the Overview area.
To start backing up, go to the overview area and click on back up now button.
Now you need to choose an encryption password for a backup. Just type that in and click on Continue.
And after waiting for a while you can see a message that Backup has been completed and you can also see the backup files on the desktop.
To restore your Ubuntu go to the Overview area and click on Restore button, this allows us to restore any backup that we have created. After clicking a Restore window will appear which asks for 2 things, first is the Backup location and the second one is the Folder where the backup file is located.
After selecting the locations click on Forward button, you will find a dialog box which will give you an option of selecting the date (in case you have created more than 1 backup).
Click Forward and it will ask for the encryption password, this is the password that you've set while creating the backup. Enter the password and you have successfully restored our backup.
Thanks for reading this quick tutorial on backup Ubuntu using Deja Dup, I would love to see in the comment section down below what everyone else is using for backup and restoration program. Let me know down below, thanks for reading the article, have a great day!
rsync is a command in Linux which stands for remote sync. It is used for backing up the data. It synchronizes the directories and files from one location to another in a good way. The backup destination could be either on local or on remote server.
Speed: rsync replicates all the data from source to destination and then it transfers only the changed blocks/bytes to the destination. This makes the transfer fast.
Security: It uses encryption using ssh technique.
Bandwidth: It compresses the block at source and then at the receiving end it decompresses the block. It transfers the data block by block using compression and decompression at source and destination side respectively. Hence uses less bandwidth.
Privileges: No extra privileges are required to use rsync.
The above command does not preserves the timestamp.
The -a options preserves symbolic links, permissions, timestamp, owner and group.
If the file at the destination is modified and if we don't want to change it back to the old one again then using rsync -u option.
use rsync -d option for this purpose.
$ rsync -v -d chankey@192.168.200.10:/var/lib/ .
$ rsync -avz --existing root@192.168.1.2:/var/lib/rpm/ .
Automount partition in linux like never before. Introducing a tool that can automount partition for you as soon as you boot up your linux box.
One of the Linux Guru's characteristics is to use command line for everything. One can accomplish anything when well versed with command line tips. After booting up a linux box, one needs to manually mount the partitions. Its not a big deal but it gets really annoying when you keep getting error just because you forgot to mount a partition. This hassle can be avoided by making partitions to automount themselves. It can be accomplished by editing few system files but we are not going there. This post is for those 'lazy' ones who don't want to trouble themselves with system files and all, here we are going to automount partition in graphical manner. We have a tool available that can automount partition right after booting.
PySDM is a Storage Device Manager that is widely used by users to automount partition without touching fstab. Read more about it here.
Download PySDM to automount partition in Ubuntu and other Debian based distros by executing following command.
Click on Assistant button and following window will appear.
Now you can check and uncheck according to your preferences and you are done, PySDM will now automount partition for you just after booting.
If you know some more ways then share them in comments.

The IDPS programme commissions the team at the Population, Policy and Practice Programme at the University College London (UCL) Institute of Child Health to collect screening outcome data on HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B.
Together we are reviewing the data collection processes and systems, and planning updates and modernisation for the future.
Helen Peters, the study co-ordinator and statistician for the national study of HIV in pregnancy and childhood (NSHPC) updates us here on some exciting changes.
"Running a national surveillance study is hard work, both for those submitting data in clinics and for those processing and analysing data in the office. Over the last few months, the team at NSHPC has made some important changes that will make reporting more efficient and straightforward at both ends.
"The quarterly 'green cards' used for the obstetric reporting scheme have moved online after a successful pilot with 100 respondents. Most participants in the pilot gave very positive feedback and found the system easy to use, less time-consuming, and more secure and eco-friendly, than using the post.
"The online reporting allows respondents to catch up easily with reporting backlogs and is a secure and reliable way to keep track of reporting history and outstanding reports.
"To help respondents transition towards online reporting, the NSHPC has given its website a brand new look, complete with resources for respondents such as reporting forms, frequently asked questions, and online tutorials for completing the online green cards. Find out more in our recently published newsletter.
"Last but not least, the NSHPC is now on Twitter. Follow @NSHPC_UCL for updates on recent publications, trends, and other news about HIV in pregnancy and childhood."
Visit https://www.ucl.ac.uk/nshpc or email nshpc@ucl.ac.uk for more information about the NSHPC.
The team will also have a stand at the upcoming IDPS regional workshops so come and say hello.

Creating a new underpass and access to the site from the A460. New footpaths and cycle ways will also be installed. Before the underpass is built a temporary road will be built so no closures of the A460 are needed during peak times.
Widening both the eastern and western A460 legs of the Churchbridge Interchange to provide two lanes in both directions
Widening Orbital Way on the eastbound side, improving the Lodge Lane and Churchbridge roundabouts and installing new toucan crossings on Eastern Way.
The Churchbridge scheme will last until February but work around the retail development will continue for another year.
Traffic will be shifted onto a temporary road to ensure the A460 is not closed while the underpass is built.
The roadworks are scheduled to start on Monday and last for 72 weeks
Staffordshire County Council's economic growth leader Mark Winnington said: "This is a major road project, which is supporting the development of what will become a big regional and national visitor attraction for Cannock and Staffordshire.
"It is a county council priority to ensure we have a thriving economy and McArthur Glen designer outlet will play an important part in this – bringing people into Staffordshire and making a positive impact on the county.
"The project is also bringing in improvements across the wider area which is good news for the community.
"The highways works are absolutely essential to the delivery of the overall development.
"We will see a significant increase in traffic around the area and this scheme will provide suitable access to the site and improve traffic flow on surrounding roads.
"Our highways team has put in a lot of careful planning to this project and as part of this will be the construction of a temporary road to ensure there is no closure of the A460 while the underpass is built.
"With any project of this size there will be some disruption, so we would ask people to bear with us during these essential works."
Cannock councillor Maureen Freeman warned drivers to prepare for chaos when the full roadworks get under way on Monday.

Q: Last entry of Map not getting deleted? As a forward, I'm attempting to create an entity/component/system design for a game.  The first thing I'm trying is to handle entity creation and deletion.  I opted to try to use a native Map for this.
For some reason when I run this code, I see expected behavior until I reach the last element of the map where I see it's update being called several times over when the entry is seemingly not getting removed.
code:

class Vector{
   constructor(x, y){ this.x = x; this.y = y; }
}

class Enemy{
   constructor(id, x, y){
      this.id = id;
      this.pos = new Vector(x, y)
   }
   update(){
      this.pos.x++;
      console.log(Game.entities)
      if (this.pos.x > 10) Game.dispatch(this.id)
   }
}

const Game = {
    start: function(){
       this.entities = new Map;
       for (let i = 0; i<5; i++){
            const sid = Math.random();
            this.entities.set(sid, new Enemy(sid, i*20, 20))
       }
       this.tick(0)
    },
    dispatch: function(id){
        this.entities.delete(id)
    },
    tick: function(){
        for (let entity of this.entities.values()) {
            entity.update();
        }
        setTimeout(this.tick.bind(this), 100)
    }
}
Game.start()

Expected output:

Q: Is it the best way to create MMORPG game using an Unreal Engine with a custom server in C++? I'm creating an open world multiplayer game in Unreal Engine 4 with a custom server written in C++ (using asio/flatbuffers libs). I have configured packet transfer between the game and the server. Chat messages and player movement are working now, but I ran into the problem of simulating player actions on the server.
My next steps (for now):

*

*simulate player collisions with terrain and static meshes on the server

*simulate projectile physics (like fireballs, bow arrows, etc)

For the first step, I need to have on the server the code for handling the collision of the player with the terrain, the data for this terrain, and the bounding box of the player. But the problem is that this code is already in the engine, and I would not like to manually transfer this code, terrain data and bounding box of player that I created in Unreal Editor. With the second step, this is the physics code and the same bounding box, but for the projectile.
My ideas for a solution: somehow take all the necessary engine code and use it on the server (I have a console application called BlankProgram that has engine libraries connected to it). But even if it works, there is still a problem with transferring the data of the actors that I create in the editor (player bounding boxes, projectile speed, direction, etc.). In this case, perhaps a self-written plugin can help me, which uploads the necessary data to the server files.
Is my approach and ideas correct or is there a better way? There is a dedicated server from the Unreal Engine, but somehow there is little information about it and people say that it is not suitable for MMORPG. I also know that some companies write their own servers (not from the Unreal) for games under the Unreal Engine. I would like advice on where I should dig to simplify the work. I want to write compatible code between the game and the server, without doing unnecessary code copying and other things.

Leucodelphinidin is a colorless chemical compound related to leucoanthocyanidins. It can be found in Acacia auriculiformis, in the bark of Karada (Cleistanthus collinus) and in the kino (gum) from Eucalyptus pilularis.

Other species containing leucodelphinidin include Aesculus hippocastanum (Horse chestnut, in rind/bark/cortex), Arachis hypogaea (Earth nut in seeds), Arbutus unedo (Arbutus, in the leaf), Caesalpinia pulcherrima (Barbados pride), Ceratonia siliqua (Carob, in the fruit), Hamamelis virginiana (American witch hazel, in the leaf), Hippophae rhamnoides (Hippophae berry, in the leaf), Humulus lupulus (bine flower / blossom, in the leaf), Musa acuminata × balbisiana (Banana, in the fruit), Nelumbo nucifera (lotus, in the leaf), Phyllanthus emblica (Emblic, Indian gooseberry, in the rind/bark/cortex), Quercus alba (White oak, in the rind/bark/cortex), Quercus robur (Common oak, in the rind/bark/cortex), Rumex hymenosepalus (Arizona dock, in the root), Schinus molle (California peppertree, in the leaf) and Vicia faba (bell-bean, in the seed).

A leucodelphinidin derivative isolated from Ficus bengalensis shows hypoglycemic effects.

Metabolism
Dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR) uses dihydromyricetin (ampelopsin) NADPH and 2 H+ to produce leucodelphinidin and NADP.

I have a Line6 pod x3 live but it doesn't work well. I have update the firmware, but all the patches sounds equals. I have delete all the previous patches when I have update the firmware. I have downgrade the firmware too and everything is just the same. I have recover a backup of another Line6 pod x3 live presets o patches but everything is just the same. I don't what more can I do. Could anyone help me please.
Thanks you very much and best regards.
Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean by 'all the patches sound equal'? Do you mean they all sound similarly poor (fizzy, scratchy, low volume, noisy, ....) although you can detect a basic difference when you switch patches? Or do you literally mean all patches sound exactly the same - in other words you can't tell any difference in the sound when you change patches (in this case the patch might actually sound good, but they all sound identically good).
If it's the latter case (all patches actually sound identical) it could simply be that you have Tone 2 Locked, and your patches only use Tone 2. To make sure Tone 2 is unlocked, check the padlock icon in the bottom row of the Home page display; turn the little knob beneath the icon until it shows unlocked.
But if it's the former case please provide more detailed information about the bad sound you are hearing.
It seems like i have the same problem. My line 6 pod x3 live is sounding dist/chruchy on every sound at every channel a little bit in the background of the sound that I´ve been choosing. When i change sound It only changes a little bit but still have the disted sound on it. I think it is like you say silverhead! "all sound similarly poor (fizzy, scratchy, low volume, noisy, ....)"
I need help, please! Is there anything i can do?
I think i have the same problem. All of my sounds at every channel have this little crunchy/distorted sound in the background. I believe that it´s like Silverhead say: "all sound similarly poor (fizzy, scratchy, low volume, noisy, ....)". I can't get at clear or clean sound. Its not possible because the distorted is always there. Thats the best way for me to describe it. What can i do about it? I´ve tried using "Line 6 monkey" but nothing happens. The bad sound is still there. I have also tried to do factory reset but nothing happens.
Same problem as everyone else. Everything has a light distorted sound the cleans sound real bad. I have updated software and reset back to factory settings. I used to love my x3 live but now it sounds so bad it makes me want to break it.
Hello, I have the same problem. If I reset to factory settings and I put new user patches. When I tried to change from one patch to another, all of them begun to sounds equal.
Can some line6 employe answer this topic?????????????????????????
This is a user forum, you can contact Line6 directly via a call or support ticket.
Maybe you choose tone 1 and tone 2 to work together! And this choose distorted every sound you have!
I have already put a post on another forum, but just in case it will not be seen, I'll post it here as well. Many of these sound issues can be easily fixed with a little Isopropyl alcohol or other contact cleaner.
Unplug all of your cords and power supply, and dip that swab into the alcohol/contact cleaner and then clean out all of your input and output 1/4" jacks. Give it a couple of minutes to dry and plug her back in and see if this alleviates your sound problems. I don't know how many times this little trick has saved me tons of money and valuable time chasing down other "fixes" when this was all it was. Dirty input/output jacks!!!
Hi, not sure if my problem is the same but my x3 pod sounds fuzzy like the speakers a bust and the patches that have a good distortion sound weak like there's not enough power getting through. anyone else have the same problem?
u mean there should be some dirt like dust or something else ?
Did any of you find the solution for this issue?
I've just bought used Pod X3 live and I have exact the same problem of distorted sound in every clean tone.
Me too!...did anyone ever get this sorted out?
Probably needs some servicing in general, a good going over.

White House Crasher Tareq Salahi Says His Wife Was Kidnapped
The reality star thinks Michaele was coerced into saying she's at her mother's house
Tareq Salahi say he thinks his wife Michaele -- who came to fame by showing up uninvited at a White House state dinner -- has been kidnapped. Salahi says he was at the couple's winery when his wife called him from a phone number he didn't recognize late Tuesday night, TMZ reports. Michaele said she was going to stay with her mom. But Tareq knew of no such plans and called his mother-in-law, who said she hadn't spoken with Michaele. Tareq thinks his wife was forced to make the calls, and that police aren't taking the situation seriously. Earlier this month, The New York Times' Austin Considine wrote that even though their reality show Real Housewives of D.C. has been cancelled, the Salahis are "determined to extend their fame beyond its proverbial 15 minutes." If this is a publicity stunt, it's pretty twisted.

Foragers seeking the best morels should seek out ash and apple trees, according to local mushroom hunting expert Karl Dittman.
Confessions of a mushroom hunter
Andrew Sheeley
Local mushroom hunting expert Karl Dittman agreed to speak with the Salem News in an exclusive interview Friday.
Morel mushroom hunting is the latest big trend across the country among both healthy food enthusiasts and outdoor recreationists. Unlike in the big cities, however, the curious will not find only hipster upstarts hunting morels in the Ozarks' woods, but instead some of the most seasoned, successful and secretive shroomers in the whole state.
Among those in Dent County with the most experience is Karl Dittman. Dittman has been hunting morels since he was nine years old and learned the ways of the mushrooms from his father.
Seasoned foragers such as Dittman are notoriously tight-lipped on the subject of mushroom hunting, but in consideration of the public interest, Dittman agreed to share some of his wisdom with The Salem News in an interview Friday.
Morels are one of the most elusive and mysterious mushrooms hunted in Missouri, according to Dittman. Attempts to farm the fungus have all notoriously failed, meaning those seeking this delicacy will have to forage for them in the wild.
Although many say finding mushrooms is pure luck, Dittman has been able to collect many bountiful harvests over the years by following a few simple rules.
Spring is the best time to find morels, according to Dittman.
"You have to go out in the spring after the first two or three nights of lows above 50 and highs in the upper 70s," says Dittman. "Usually that means the second week of April to the first week of May."
The next big indicator is wood, says Dittman. Mushrooms are fungi, and thrive off decaying matter, meaning rotting wood is a good place to hunt. However, hunters seeking morels should keep an eye out for ash and apple trees.
"Those two trees are best for finding morels," Dittman says. "Especially after the tree dies and the bark lies in a pile on the ground. After five to seven years those spots will have big patches of morels. Sycamore, elm and walnut trees will also attract morels, but never oak. If you find a morel in an oak forest, take a look around, because I bet there is an ash tree close by."
Another good indicator is geography.
"Good places to look are in draws (narrow valleys) and river bottoms," says Dittman. "You want to find a place that's moist, but not wet, they won't grow if it's too wet. It has to not be too wet or too dry."
Mushrooming Equipment
"Mushroom hunting is a great activity for the whole family and does not require a lot of expensive equipment," Dittman says.
The essential items to include in a hunt are a foraging bag, a mushrooming stick, coveralls and a good tick spray.
Porous onion and potato sacks make the best foraging bags, says Dittman. The holes allow the spores to spread, which encourages the mushroom's regeneration. Plastic bags are not ideal as they dry out the mushrooms on sunny days.
A good stick is a very useful tool for mushroom hunting, says Dittman. They not only allow for a more comfortable hike, but come in handy for finding mushrooms that are hidden underneath leaves.

"Many people don't know this, but the morels grow underneath the leaves sideways," says Dittman. "When they are ready to spore, then they shoot up vertically into the air, but I'd say 90 percent of its growth takes place under the leaves. So it's a good idea to brush the leaves aside in a good hunting spot to see if any are under there."
The stick can also come in handy for other uses, says Dittman.
"When my dad and I went hunting in the Missouri river bottoms he would use that stick more on snakes than for mushrooms," he said.
Another big safety item is coveralls.
"I know a lot of people like to put on overalls with the suspenders, but I like coveralls," Dittman says. "There's no place for the ticks to crawl in like there is with overalls. The other big thing you need is a good can of tick spray. I use the tick spray you can spray right on your clothes. It worked so well for me this year I even soaked my boots in it."
Cooking Morels
There are many ways to cook morels, but Dittman prefers them fried.
"First thing you have to do is soak them in salt water for a couple hours. Some people do it overnight, but I think that makes the mushrooms too mushy." he says. "Once they're ready to cook, cut them down the middle and clean them out. Then pad them down with a paper towel to make sure you get the water out of there. Put some corn oil in a pan and set it for medium heat. Next, I'll run the mushrooms through a mixture of milk and eggs before breading them with some Uncle Buck Chicken Fry. Fry that in a pan for four minutes and you're done."
Other suggestions Dittman has for serving morels are with scrambled eggs and sautéed in butter.
When asked to describe the taste of a Morel to the uninitiated, Dittman's eyes light up and his tone sudden plunges to a whisper.
"There just, you know, there just… really good," he says leaning in as if sharing a secret. "There's just no comparison, they're the best I've ever had."
"Never ask a hunter where they got their mushrooms," says Dittman. "I posted some pictures to Facebook this past year, but I had to take them down after everyone started getting too curious."
By that same token, don't tell anyone about the best spots, says Dittman.
"As soon as you tell someone, that's it, you're done," he says. "The next thing you know, everyone will be there and all the morels will be gone."
The other important thing to remember for hunters is to respect the mushrooms' cycle of life.
"People will say I'm crazy and that no one leaves mushrooms on the ground," says Dittman. "But it's still a good idea to leave some behind so that they can grow back next year. You should not pick the ground clean."

Cast List for "Eurydice Ascending" Reading Announced!
"The daughter of light and her legendary lover venture once again into the midnight city in Eurydice Ascending, a new play by Christian Leadley. Drawing on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, this emotional, witty, and highly physical new play explores themes of self- acceptance, maturity in the modern era, coping with loss, the fear of inadequacy, and never abandoning hope. Set partly in the underground EDM club scene, Eurydice Ascending features a soundtrack of popular Dubstep and Progressive House music, with original remixes by British DJ, Rick Sargent. Filled with heart-pounding action, breathtaking visuals, and explosive choreography Eurydice Ascending is a fresh and thought-provoking new spin on a classic tale that will grab you by the heart and never look back."

Dr. Ali Abur spoke at ABB in Baden Switzerland on Thursday, April 30th. His talk was entitled "Phasor-Only State Estimation." During his visit, he also led research discussions with the ABB power systems group.
Abstract: This talk is concerned about the use of synchronized phasor measurements in power system static state estimation. The availability of synchronized phasor measurements at most utilities is not yet sufficient to make the system fully observable. However, given the rapid deployment of these devices in substations, it is expected that this will be the case in a few years. So, this talk will be based on the assumption that the entire network is already observable by the existing set of phasor measurements. After a brief review of state estimation formulation that uses only phasor measurements, we will present two alternative solution algorithms that are both based on exclusive use of phasor measurements. They will be comparatively discussed with respect to their computational complexity as well as robustness against bad data. The talk will conclude by briefly highlighting some of the benefits of having phasor measurements (as opposed to SCADA measurements) for parameter error identification.
Biography: Ali Abur received his B.S. degree at Orta Dogu Teknik Universitesi, Ankara, Turkey and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from The Ohio State University. He joined the Department of Electrical Engineering at Texas A&M University where he worked as a Professor between 1985 and 2005. In 2005, he moved to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University in Boston where he is currently a professor. He co-authored the book "Power System State Estimation" and published technical papers and reports on the same topic. He served as an Editor for IEEE Transactions on Power Systems between 1999 and 2011. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and Distinguished Lecturer for PES.

Schell Games Is Making A VR Game You Play In A Car
I Expect You To Die and Until You Fall developer Schell Games' latest VR effort isn't designed for a home-based standalone headset or room-scale technology, but instead to be played inside a car.
That's right, a moving car. On the road and everything.
The game is called Cloudbreaker and it was revealed during a talk at the AWE event in Santa Clara this week. Cloudbreaker is being built for Holoride, a platform that tracks locational and navigational data from a vehicle and implements that into VR experiences. The idea is for a means of immersive in-car entertainment for passengers in vehicles that also doesn't make you motion sick given your body will be feeling the natural motions of a car that are reflected in-game. Obviously it doesn't work for the driver considering that's about as dangerous a thing you could possibly do.
In Cloudbreaker, players are transported to the ruins of the Cloudscape and do battle with enemies known as the automata in third-person. You go on runs through the dungeon, daring yourself to stay longer as the difficulty increases. When you're in-game, lines at the bottom of the screen represent driving along the road. The game is being built using Holoride's own Elastic SDK. Some footage of the game was captured during the AWE presentation, which you can see below (thanks to eminus for capturing it).
I apologize for the blurry video but here's a bit of demo footage of the game. pic.twitter.com/cG2cLQ8RbO
— e-🎥@AWE (@eminus) November 9, 2021
"Cloudbreaker is the first experience we've created using the Holoride Elastic SDK, and we are thrilled with it," said Jesse Schell, CEO of Schell Games, said in a prepared statement. "In-car entertainment is going to be a key part of what is thrilling about the metaverse, and playing Cloudbreaker feels like a glimpse into the future."
Cloudbreaker is set to release on the platform sometime in 2022. It's certainly an intriguing concept though if the industry is still trying to get VR headsets into people's homes, getting them into the backs of cars feels like it's a fair bit further out. This isn't the next big home release from Schell Games, then, though the studio did tease earlier this year that it's working on a project that takes an interesting approach to physics in VR.

Ben Roethlisberger, Steelers top Browns to stay in playoff mix
Fox News Flash top headlines for January 3
Fox News Flash top headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com.
Ben Roethlisberger passed for 123 yards with a touchdown and an interception in likely his last start at Heinz Field, and the Pittsburgh Steelers handled the listless Cleveland Browns 26-14 on Monday night to keep their postseason hopes alive.
Pittsburgh (8-7-1) needs a win at Baltimore next week combined with a loss by Indianapolis to Jacksonville to reach the playoffs for the 12th time in Roethlisberger's 18 seasons.
He hardly did it alone. Rookie Najee Harris ran for a career-best 188 yards and a touchdown, Chris Boswell kicked four field goals and T.J. Watt sacked Baker Mayfield four times to give him 21 1/2 on the season, one short of the NFL record set by Hall of Famer Michael Strahan in 2001.

The tank might be running low, but it's not empty, and he showed flashes — briefly, anyway — of the play that made him a two-time Super Bowl champion and a Hall of Famer whenever he decides it's over.
A shoulder fake here. A step up in the pocket there. The feet don't move as fast as they used to. His arm doesn't deliver with the precision of the past. The field-stretching heaves have been largely replaced by dinks and dunks designed in part to protect him behind an offensive line that isn't nearly as talented as the groups he led to the postseason with regularity.
Yet if there's been one constant during Roethlisberger's career, it's been his mastery of the Browns, who famously passed over the Ohio native in favor of tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. in the 2004 draft.
Roethlisberger's victory improved his record to 26-3-1 against Cleveland and provided a small measure of revenge less than a year after he threw four interceptions in a first-round home playoff loss to the Browns last January.
That night was supposed to be the launching point for Cleveland heading into 2021. It simply hasn't happened. Injuries and inconsistent play from Mayfield among others will force the Browns to watch the playoffs from home for the 18th time in the last 19 years.
The Steelers built a 13-0 advantage behind Roethlisberger's 417th career touchdown pass, a 5-yard flip to Diontae Johnson in the first half that marked Pittsburgh's first first-half touchdown since before Thanksgiving.
Cleveland briefly got back into it in the third quarter when Mayfield hit David Njoku for a 6-yard score, but there would be no comeback. Not with Watt bolstering his Defensive Player of the Year candidacy and a defense that's been shoddy at best for much of the last two months summoning a menace it has lacked for long stretches.
And Harris showed he can lead the Pittsburgh offense whenever the post-Roethlisberger era begins.
Browns: Lost CB Greedy Williams in the first half to a shoulder injury and LB Sione Takitaki to a shoulder injury in the second half. CB Denzel Ward exited in the third quarter with a groin issue, further depleting a secondary already missing starting safeties Ronnie Harrison and John Johnson.
Cleveland: Wraps up a disappointing season at home on Sunday against AFC North champion Cincinnati.
Pittsburgh: Looks to sweep Baltimore for the second straight season on Sunday and get a little help elsewhere.

Vision Care Service (VCS) is an international relief organization dedicated to the prevention of blindness through our global projects and initiatives. VCS is a registered organization under the International Agency for Prevention of Blindness (IAPB), an affiliate of the World Health Organization (WHO). VCS works for the benefit of all people throughout the world who are suffering from vision problems, regardless of their race, color, creed, national origin or religion.
VCS started in 2002 with its first "Vision Care Eye Camp" in Pakistan. This very first eye camp was meant to be a one-time mission trip. It was carried out by an all-volunteer team consisting of an ophthalmologist, a few nurses and optometrists from the Myungdong St. Mary's Eye Clinic in Seoul, Korea.
In just 15 short years, Vision Care Service has provided in excess of 120,000 treatments and performed more than 17,000 cataract surgeries through over 200 free eye camps in 35 countries. This is the equivalent of several hundred million dollars in treatments, surgeries and supplies directly provided by Vision Care Service on a fully volunteer basis, along with the help of individual participants and corporate donors. Mostly importantly, all of these volunteers and donors contributed with joy, compassion and love for our fellow men, women and children.
VCS has since conducted more than 25 free eye camps a year and has grown into an international non-profit organization serving 35 countries throughout Asia, Africa and Central-South America.
In 2011, VCS West lunched at Los Angeles for focusing in Central and South America. As an international relief organization, there are several key aspects of VCS that deserve to be highlighted. First, we are a hands-on, action oriented organization. From the very beginning, we saw a global problem and simply decided to take individual action to solve that problem one patient at a time. VCS has now improved the sight and lives of over 17,000 people. Second, we are an all-volunteer organization, from planning to administration to execution. Each and every participant fully donates their time, skills and even pays their own travel and lodging expenses during an eye camp. Third, 100% of donations, whether in funds, equipment, supplies, time or talents, are used directly to carry out Vision Care Service's vision and mission.
Aug. 2011: Registered as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in U.S.A.


Germany is Spain's second most important commercial partner after France. Exports from Spain to the three German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria and Switzerland) amount to 31 billion Euros, just slightly less than the imports that come from these countries, which amount to 32.5 billion Euros. There are German, Austrian and Swiss investments in Spain and vice-versa in practically all sectors of industry.
The Monereo Meyer Abogados legal practice stands out from other Spanish practices because it has Spain's foremost German Desk, with 30 German-speaking lawyers. Twelve of our lawyers are also members of lawyers' associations in one or other of these three German-speaking countries.
Ever since we started out in 1989 we have maintained a close, consolidated collaboration with trusted law firms in the different business centres of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, providing efficient service from any of our offices in Spain for domestic companies commencing or which already engage in commercial activity in any of these companies. Furthermore Monereo Meyer Abogados forms part of the only network of German-speaking legal practices in the world, CBBL (www.cbbl-lawyers.de).
The lawyers who make up our firm's German Desk are perfectly acquainted with the commercial culture of Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and with the legal system of these countries.


Captain Henry Morgan's capture of the city of Panamá in 1671 is seen as one of the most audacious military operations in history. Social and maritime historian Earle retells the story, combining thorough research with an emphasis on the battles that made Morgan a pirate legend. Morgan's raid was the last in a series of brutal attacks on Spanish possesions in the Caribbean, all sanctioned by the British crown. Earle recounts the five violent years leading up to the raid, then delivers a detailed account of Morgan's march across enemy territory, as his soldiers contended with hunger, tropical diseases, and possible ambushes from locals. The book also covers the alarmed reactions of diplomats and statesmen in Madrid and London. While Morgan and his men were laying siege to Panamá , the simmering hostilities between the two nations resulted in vicious political infighting that rivaled the military battles in intensity.--From publisher description.
Great book, reads like an adventure novel with lots of facts about the 17th century Caribbean privateers.
Try searching for The Sack of Panamá to see if SMCL owns related versions of the work.

Fortnite | Where to Find The Mysterious Pod
It's a pod, and it's very mysterious.
Published Jan. 13, 2021, 3:01 p.m. about Fortnite
by Morgan Shaver
Fortnite players eager to earn themselves a Predator Outfit will need to complete a series of Jungle Hunter challenges as part of the Season 5 Battle Pass. The first Jungle Hunter challenge asks you to find a "Mysterious Pod" in Fortnite.
Given how vague this instruction is, it makes sense that people have questions regarding where to go and what to look for. To help simplify everything, we've put together a quick guide walking you through where to find the Mysterious Pod in Fortnite.
The first challenge in the Jungle Hunter challenge list tasks you with finding a "Mysterious Pod" in Fortnite. Obviously, knowing where to land on the map is key when it comes to actually tracking the Mysterious Pod down and paying it a visit.
In the map image above, we've circled where you can find the Mysterious Pod in Fortnite. As you can see, it's situated in the upper left corner of the Stealthy Stronghold area. Once you land here, start exploring while keeping an eye out for a swampy, jungle area.
In this area, you should stumble across what appears to be a crashed alien-like ship. This ship is actually the "Mysterious Pod" that you need to find and interact with in order to complete the first quest in the Jungle Hunter questline.
In the image above, you'll see what this Mysterious Pod looks like. It stands out from the landscape, so as long as you're in the right section of the Stealthy Stronghold area, you should be able to find it relatively easily.
Note that you don't need to do anything else other than approach the Mysterious Pod in order to complete the challenge. As a reward for completing the challenge, you'll earn yourself a cool Predator Banner Icon and can move on to other Jungle Hunter challenges available via the Season 5 Battle Pass in Fortnite.

Actually all cheese can be melted, so you don't have to use proper raclette cheese. We had cheddar, brie and blue, and they all turned warm, gooey and yummy. Slices of cheese are melted in the raclette pan and scrapped onto chunks of warmed baguettes. Cheddar was my pick for the evening, I accidentally over-melted the brie which turned into cheese islands in a sea of oil, and found the blue too salty. I was alone in that though, as the blue was more popular than the cheddar. I have much to learn about cheese.
Dr M, our illustrious host, had marinated some beef slices which we barbequed on the hotplate, along with cheese kranskys and mushroom slices. Boiled potatoes are de rigueur at a raclette dinner, but works even better when grilled on the hotplate until a crust develops.
We ate and talked and laughed (and drank) and ate and ate some more. All that skiing in the Swiss Alps must burn off the calories, but mere mortals like us were completely outdone by all that cheese. Luckily our host also provided a very tasty coleslaw to line our stomachs in between the cheese.
A raclette party is a tremendous idea, especially during the coldest week NZ has seen in decades. There's nothing better than grilled cheese and friends to ward off a polar blast. I had a fantastic time, – thank you Dr M for a totally gluttonous evening! Dr M's raclette set came from overseas, and I don't recall seeing these grills sold in NZ, though if you ask nicely, I'm sure he will lend you his set.


I enjoy playing and teaching any style of drumming.
The average cost of 60-minute drum lessons in Franklin is $60. While the exact cost will vary depending on the teacher, type of lesson, and your location, you should expect to spend anywhere between $60 and $60 per hour.
For the best experience, we typically recommend 60-minute drum lessons. However, students looking for a more affordable option may want to consider a shorter lesson length of 45 or 30 minutes. On average, 45-minute drum lessons are 17% less expensive at $50, and 30-minute lessons cost 39% less at $37.
Curious how much drum lessons cost in your area? Do a quick search to get local prices for the best drum teachers near Franklin.
is students on whatever path they want to go. Highly recommend him for both advanced players and beginner players. Very patient, kind and committed to his students."
vested in the progress of his students and is a very engaged instructor. He always takes my interests and learning style into account when teaching. Highly recommend him to both beginners and more advanced students."
tient! No temperament at all. He praised at the right times to encourage my son and quickly corrected issues. The lesson continued without breaks for the whole hour plus, but seemed like 15 minutes. I was incredibly impressed and also had a very entertaining time as I learned about drums in the process. Also, my son has ADHD. I thought my son would have trouble focusing. But with Josh's innate ability to work with him, the ADHD never was an issue. I would totally recommend Josh to anyone wanting to learn drums. Absolutely great session. Also, getting a sampling of his drumming skills was so very cool to see."
that has helped me to improve not only in lessons but on my own. I definitely would recommend him!!"

Mandarin Chinese Iadmin2020-08-03T22:01:41-05:00
The World of Mandarin Chinese has a distinct design. The six sections, or Acts, are based on a film shot in the city of Chongqing using young actors. The Acts are centered on the lives of two young men and two young women. In reality, the four teenagers are film students at a public university. There are three Scenes within each Act that focus on real situations where language is spoken.
Traditionally, languages are learned in a classroom setting. However, languages can also be learned online. Through our new approach, you will have access to a real Chinese teacher and will have a Chinese 'speaking partner.'
