Who doesn't love Harrison Ford? I mean, just think about it...Star Wars, Indiana Jones, The Fugitive, Air Force One...you don't need me to go on, right? Plain and simple, he's the epitome of a movie star. And it just so happens, he's one of my dad's favorite actors ever (ask my dad and he'll tell you he's his long-lost brother too. You can judge for yourself in the picture below).
So when my parents were in town a couple weeks ago, I took them with me to the premiere of 42, hoping for my dad to at least get a glimpse of his long-lost honorary brother. But I was worried about one thing—this was going to be my first time interviewing Harrison, and truth be told, I hadn't heard such promising things. "He's grumpy," one journalist friend told me. "He'll respond to you with one-word answers," said another. Well, that surely sounded promising.
What I got was something altogether different. Harrison not only talked to everyone, but he could not have been more gracious. And when I asked him if he was drawn to roles where he wore fedoras (as Branch Rickey in 42 and, of course, as Indy), he cracked up and got a kick out of a question that had never been posed to him before. But then, before all was said and done, I introduced him to my parents, who had just flown in from St. Louis earlier that day, and not only did he take time out to say hello and engage in conversation, but he took this photo with my dad, who I may never see exude so much happiness until I walk down the aisle.
Fast-forward two weeks, and Harrison was scheduled to participate in Target Presents AFI (American Film Institute) Night at the Movies for fans to celebrate classic films and their stars. On the list? Oh, only Cher (presenting Moonstruck), Harrison (presenting Blade Runner: The Final Cut), Demi Moore (presenting Ghost), Sidney Poitier (presenting In the Heat of the Night), and much more.
With 12 stars honoring 13 movies (Sally Field and Shirley MacLaine teamed up to both introduce Terms of Endearment), Harrison was the ONLY one who walked the entire carpet and talked to every reporter. That's class, plain and simple.
I asked him to tell me in one word (yes, ironic, I know) what he thinks of when thinking of the experience making Blade Runner. "Ridley Scott. I know you asked for one word, but that's two. But it's one thing. It was an extraordinary experience, which included many nights of rain and darkness."
And then to refresh his mind, I showed him the picture with my dad, and how he hasn't stopped talking about his once-in-a-lifetime experience meeting Harrison, his new buddy.
Harrison's message to my dad? "Give your dad my regards. It was great meeting him too."
Meanwhile, Shirley MacLaine was celebrating her 79th birthday on this night, but as she darted down the carpet, I managed to get her for two seconds to hand her some Sprinkles birthday cupcakes (one red velvet and another strawberry in honor of her red hair!). I was hoping she'd come over for a chat, but instead, she grabbed the cupcakes and yelled, 'I'll take 'em!' and ran down the rest of the carpet with them. Shirley, I just hope you shared.
Demi Moore skipped the red carpet but had plenty to say in the theater as she presented Ghost to the audience. The actress, looking beyond gorgeous in a black pantsuit, was as delightful as ever and asked for a raise of hands for those who had seen the movie (and ones who hadn't) before she started speaking.
Here she is with Cher prior to the film screening last night.
"It's shocking to think this movie was made 25 years ago and being a part of something that has had the beauty of truly standing up against the test of time. I was trying to think about what I could share with you that you don't already know, and I was thinking about being a young actress and getting this script that Joe Rubin had written and finding it so fascinating and different. It's a love story, and it's a guy—a dead guy—trying to save his wife—and there is a comedy part, but really, really it's a love story, and I thought, Wow, this is really a recipe for disaster. [Laughs] It's either going to be something really special, really amazing, or really an absolute bust, and the beauty of being at the beginning of your career, and it's important to remember at any stage of your life is taking the risk is always where the reward is, and I think the beauty in this film is that none of us knew, and the alchemy that came together with Whoopi [Goldberg] and Patrick [Swayze], and our film editor, Walter Murch, and Adam Greenberg, our DP, it just had a magic. What's interesting is that I learned one really big lesson on this film, which is that I went to see it and everyone was moved."
Moore went on to add, "I loved it and was so excited for it to come out, and everyone said the reviews were coming out!' and they were HORRIBLE! We were panned across the board, and I thought, Wow, this is really not good. [Laughs] [FYI: the film grossed $217 million in the U.S.] It's something that touches people's heart, it transcends and has comforted people's soul in great loss and it has instilled a sense of hope and magic that those we love are always still with us. And I'm truly grateful to have been part of this film, and I'm honored to be sharing with you tonight. I thank AFI and Target for bringing together this magical night for you to see it on the big screen."
She also added, "I'm sure there was a huge boon in pottery classes that they hadn't seen since macrame, Birkenstocks, and hairy legs were in fashion!"
Kevin Spacey, though, might have had the best opening line of the night while introducing The Usual Suspects to theatergoers. After getting a rousing applause, he deadpanned, "Thank you very much. I don't know what the f**k I'm supposed to do."
Check out the legendary group photo with all the evening's presenters.
And in case you were wondering how difficult it was to get them all together? Well, the president and CEO of AFI, Bob Gazzale, told me this: "Our goal with this event is to present a fireworks show of American film. [After we select our wish list of films] then we speak to the talent and say, Would you want to share this moment with a live audience?' I'll admit to you it's easier than you think it is. They give us a great gift by being here tonight."
And it clearly all paid off. See, even Bullseye the dog approves.
Oh, and on the way out, guess who stopped me and my friend Jill. None other than Guillermo from Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tune in to tonight's show and you just might see me at the end of Guillermo's red carpet report!
So tell me, do you think my dad and Harrison Ford could be brothers? And what classic film would you most want to see again on the big screen?


This collection is an invite to look around and observe what's happening to Nature.
Each Incredible Creature is made in 100% recycled Sterling Silver, refinished and bent by my hands in a limited edition, all done in my studio in Umbria, Italy.
The shades of the silver are achieved with a natural process of oxidation done with sulphur that beside purifying produce unique colours that are never the same.
Due to the nature of the design every piece is original since they are bent by hands and the stones, cut on measure, are each one different.
Every piece is original and fragile like Nature.
I work on orders but I usually have some pieces in the studio ready to be shipped.


Timothy "Tim" Charles Webb passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family on January 16, 2019 at Hospice House, Fredericton, N.B. Tim was born in Fredericton on December 6, 1953. He was the son of Joanne (Clewley) and the late Norman Webb.
Tim will be greatly missed by his loving wife Cindy (Kenny) Webb; son Corey Webb (Jamie); brother Terry Webb (Kimberley); nephews Sam Webb (Sarah), Sean Bartlett (Alex), Eric Bartlett (Katie), Ryan Bartlett (Gab) and Mathew Kilburn (Rhonda); niece Hannah Webb (Tim Sullivan); sister in-law Mary Jane Bartlett (Ralph); father and mother-in-law Charlie and Pam Kenny as well as an Aunt Thea Baltzer.
In addition to his father, he was predeceased by his wife of 28 years Lorraine (Kilburn) Webb; daughter Trisha Webb and niece Erin (Kilburn) Kennedy.
Graduating from Fredericton High School in 1971, Tim later majored in Geology at the University of New Brunswick. He received a Bachelor of Science Degree in 1975, followed by a Masters Degree in Science in 1983. Tim had always aspired to be a Geologist. His goal was achieved and he spent over 35 years with the Department of Natural Resources.
He was a very active member of the community. He enjoyed curling, refereeing football, skiing, gardening, fishing, traveling and the "odd" round of golf. People might described Tim as a selfless person, always willing to lend a helping hand, reminding folks, "We're all in this together".
A visitation celebrating Tim's life will be held at McAdam's funeral Home, Fredericton, N.B. on Monday, January 21, 2019 from 2pm - 4pm and 7pm - 9pm. A funeral service will be held Tuesday, January 22, 2019 at 2pm at the J.A. McAdam Memorial Chapel with The Ven. John Sharpe officiating.
For those who wish, donations in memory of Tim can be made to Hospice House Fredericton, N.B. or to the IWK Children's Hospital, Halifax, N.S.


Weather permitting, two outdoor skating rinks should be in operation by mid-December, according to Kanata Beaverbrook Community Association President Neil Thomson. The rinks will be located behind Stephen Leacock School on Leacock drive and at Roland Michener School on Penfield Drive.
"Once again, First Kanata Scouts will maintain these two rinks for public enjoyment," said Thomson. A weekend family skating hour on Saturday and Sunday afternoons will be one of the features this winter.
The Community Association will mark the start of Kanata's 50th anniversary year with a New Year's Levee Sunday January 4th from two to four P. M. in the Beaverbrook Community Centre at 2 Beaverbrook Road. Councillor Marianne Wilkinson, Kanata builder Bill Teron and his wife Jean have been invited to join members of the KBCA Executive in exchanging greetings and best wishes for the New Year with Beaverbrook residents, including some of the original home buyers who moved into the new community in 1965.
In February, KBCA will host a week-long winter carnival on its two outdoor rinks from February 8 to 16, ending on Family Day. The carnival will include a daily family skating hour, an inter-cluster snowman competition and an outdoor performance by members of the March Kanata Skating Club. Carnival Chairman Jim Shearon is appealing for volunteers to help with the events and to help plan the 50th Anniversary Mayfair later in the year.

Leyton Midland Road is a London Overground station in Leyton of the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is on the Gospel Oak to Barking line,  down the line from  and situated between  and  stations in Travelcard Zone 3. It is the closest railway station to Bakers Arms.

History
The station opened on 9 July 1894 as part of the Tottenham and Forest Gate Railway and was originally called "Leyton".

On 17 August 1915, three explosive bombs from the German Zeppelin L.10 landed on or near the station, destroying the ticket office and a billiard hall in the arches under the platform and damaging several houses nearby. Four people were killed.

The station was renamed Leyton Midland Road on 1 May 1949. The goods yard, which was just beyond the station, closed on 6 May 1968. As with Leytonstone High Road and Wanstead Park stations, the booking office was built into the viaduct arch. By the 1980s all the old buildings had been removed and the Greater London Council built a new booking office on Midland Road itself. A few years later that was closed and demolished when, like other stations, Leyton Midland Road became unstaffed.

Station today
Since the takeover by London Overground the station has benefited from a major refit including deep clean, new signing, a ticket machine and additional waiting shelters. The community garden which was started by members of the GOBLIN support group is tended by station staff now, one of whom recently won an award for outstanding service to passengers. The station also contains help points and automatic ticket gates have now been installed. Controversially, the Midland Road entrance is now closed.

Services and connections
The service has been improved in stages to four trains per hour, weekdays and weekends except late evenings when it goes down to two trains per hour.

London Bus routes 69, 97 and W16 and night route N26 serve the station.

Recent proposals
In common with other stations on the line, usage has greatly increased in recent years, following improvements in train services and the reintroduction of station staff, and peak-hour overcrowding of the two-car diesel trains is now a major issue. Electrification of the line was finally approved after a long campaign and was achieved for 2017. Services from the station were suspended for 8 months (June 2016 – February 2017) whilst the work was carried out.

Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles Initiates Franchise Opportunity
Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles Aug. 4, 2014
After more than a decade of success in Arizona, Larry "Lo-Lo" and Rasheedah White, founders of Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles, are ready to start a soul food revolution. The couple has partnered with local real estate veterans Mike Anderson, Bret Anderson and Dave Sellers to launch the original concept as a national franchise brand, Lo-Lo's CNW, LLC.
The Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles concept was started in 1997 when Larry White perfected his fried chicken recipe in the back of his grandmother's restaurant and opened his first location in Phoenix. The casual dining restaurant features scratch-made, savory fried chicken and sweet, syrupy waffles, and is now offering the authentic model as a franchising opportunity for qualified single and multi-unit candidates. Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles is the first-to-marketnational soul food franchise perfectly positioned for expansion across the United States. "Lo-Lo's has seen incredible success in Arizona and created a cult-like following of raving fans from far and wide," said Larry "Lo-Lo" White. "We knew there was an opportunity to bring our delicious soul food to the entire U.S., and, along with Mike, Bret and Dave, we're excited to serve our famous chicken and waffles to folks across the country!"
Lo-Lo's menu and recipes have been created and perfected by Lo-Lo himself over the last decade. A true master at his craft, he has developed his own waffle mix, seasoned salt, maple syrup, hot sauce and more. In addition to the famous, award-winning chicken and waffles, guests can select from a full menu of authentic Southern comfort food and home–cooked favorites passed down from family recipes. Menu items include Uncle Brotha's Shrimp & Grits, Aunt Hattie's Salmon Croquettes, collard greens, fried green tomatoes and much more. Each dish is made from scratch, every day, onsite at every Lo-Lo's restaurant.
Existing Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles in Phoenix and Scottsdale, Arizona, have achieved phenomenal financial success and reported 2013 gross sales numbers of $3,677,069 and $2,560,694, respectively. In addition, each new restaurant will offer multiple revenue streams, including full bar, catering and merchandise sales.
"The Whites have poured their heart and soul into Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles and created a restaurant franchise with unlimited growth potential," said Mike Anderson, chief executive officer of the Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles franchise company, which the team describes as the first national franchised soul food concept. "Our team is excited to work with Larry and Rasheedah to share this concept with franchisees and consumers nationwide."
To fuel franchise growth, the company is seeking single and multi-unit operators across the country with business, management and foodservice and/or restaurant experience. Franchisee candidates should have a passion for and commitment to exceptional customer service, as well as a minimum liquidity of at least $200,000. Depending on the real estate site selected, franchisees can expect the total cost of investment for one restaurant to be approximately $651,000 – $2,229,900, with an initial franchise fee of $45,000.

Of all of the people that I talk to about the fact that I am going to hike the AT, this is a pretty common question I get asked. Yes, I'm going to live in a tent. Yes, even when it storms. Yes, even though there are bears in the woods. Yes, even when its cold. Yes, even if Harrison and I are mad at each other (well, I will be, he can sleep outside 🙂 )!
So far we love it! It weighs in at about 4lbs 10oz, but it packs down nicely, and with one of us carrying the tent, and the other one carrying the sleeping bag, it makes the weight less than if we were each carrying a solo tent and sleeping bag. Set up and take down is a breeze, it only takes about 2 minutes with the two of us. When assembled, it is super strong and sturdy, holding up amazingly to wind and rain. After a night in 100% humidity, we had absolutely no condensation on the inside of the tent. There are two vestibules, each offering a huge amount of covered space, enough for all of our gear and then some. Even with the rain fly on, the tent still allows for a bit of air circulation. The inside of the tent is spacious, more than enough space for the two of us. The multiple color options is a huge plus, and we get to rep our UNCW teal! Go Seahawks! REI is such an awesome brand. This tent is a steal compared to similar models. Plus, as REI members, we get 10% back on all purchases in a yearly dividend. I want to buy everything they have, all I want for any holiday from here on out is money to spend at REI.
Overall, super happy with this tent so far! Every time we get a new piece of gear it feels like Christmas. It also makes this whole thing feel more and more real and less like a crazy dream. THIS IS ACTUALLY HAPPENING!
I bought a couple of stuff sacks and we split the tent. One gets tent and polls the other the rain fly and pegs.

Editorial: A justice department that doesn't act justly
by NCR Editorial Staff
For more Editorial cartoons, click here.
NCR's recent profile of U.S. Attorney General William Barr quoted his now-famous 2019 speech at the University of Notre Dame, in which he railed against secularism's attack on the "traditional moral order," an attack he believed caused, as he put it, "immense suffering, wreckage, and misery" and "virtually every measure of social pathology."
The antidote to secularism, Barr said, is religion, especially the Judeo-Christian moral system that promotes moral discipline and virtue. Thus the need to protect religious liberty — seemingly Barr's ultimate cause.
Barr grew up in a Catholic home, attended Catholic grammar school and in adulthood has been affiliated with a number of conservative Catholic organizations, all of which surely formed him in the morals and virtues about which he waxed so eloquently at Notre Dame.
Oh, that we could see some of that moral discipline and virtue reflected in the decisions made by Barr's Department of Justice.
Last month's tear-gassing of peaceful protesters in Washington D.C. — personally ordered by Barr to make way for Donald Trump's Bible photo-op — seems almost tame compared to last week's video from Portland, Oregon, where federal agents, clad in camouflage, forced a peaceful protester into an unmarked minivan.
Such tactics are reminiscent of dictatorship, not a democracy.
Yet Barr not only defended them, he has announced a "surge" of the Justice Department's "Operation Legend," which is sending federal law enforcement to quell violence in the nation's cities — primarily "blue" Democratic cities.
It's all part of a reelection plan to paint Trump as a "law and order" leader, in response to largely peaceful protests that have erupted over racial injustice, including the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, who pleaded for his mother while an officer knelt on his neck for eight minutes.
On Wednesday, Barr called the protests after Floyd's murder "extreme."
Barr graduated with highest honors from George Washington Law School, so he should be aware that arresting citizens without specific probable cause is unconstitutional. The Portland protester in the video was released shortly after being detained in a federal facility; a later statement by Customs and Border Protection claimed the Portland protester in the video was suspected of attacking federal agents or property.
These frightening tactics are just the latest in the erosion of true justice under Barr's leadership in the DOJ. Barr, who is supposed to be the top lawyer for the American people, instead seems more focused on providing legal cover for a president for whom legal troubles — or potential legal troubles — are an almost daily occurrence.
When Trump wishes the alleged accomplice of child sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein "well," as he did in this week's press conference, all but the most naive or politically partisan read the comment as the nod and wink that she'll be taken care of, even if she perjures herself. It's the same nod and wink that Roger Stone and Michael Flynn got.
With so many perversions of justice from the Barr DOJ, it's hard to differentiate the horrors. But one move is a direct contradiction of Catholic teaching.
The same week that federal agents flooded Portland, the Department of Justice, under Barr, resumed capital punishment, putting to death three men, including one whom his priest spiritual director described as a "sincere, practicing Catholic." They were the first federal executions in nearly two decades.
Barr moved to resume federal executions last year, by issuing a "protocol addendum" that replaced the controversial three-drug procedure previously used in federal executions with a single drug.
More than 1,000 religious leaders, including several Catholic bishops, signed a July 7 letter urging Trump and Barr to halt the executions. "As our country grapples with the COVID 19 pandemic, an economic crisis, and systemic racism in the criminal legal system, we should be focused on protecting and preserving life, not carrying out executions," the letter said.
Perhaps because the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and its Committee on Pro-Life Activities — usually so quick with a public statement whenever abortion is in the news — have yet to say anything about the resumption of the death penalty for federal prisoners, Barr correctly assumes that the killing of prisoners is not a priority for our bishops.
Yet Barr has been a Knights of Columbus member since 1984 and previously served on the board for the Opus Dei-run Catholic Information Center, whose bookstore surely carries the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
That catechism, updated in 2018 by Pope Francis to reflect changes begun under St. John Paul II, teaches, "in the light of the Gospel, that 'the death penalty is inadmissible because it is an attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person.' "
In his Notre Dame speech, Barr preached about how Christianity teaches the importance of "micro-morality," in which "we transform the world by focusing on our own personal morality and transformation," he said.
Barr has politicized the Department of Justice so that it has chipped away at democratic freedoms and rights, all while protecting a culture of corruption under one of the most immoral presidents in history.
At the same time, while waving the banner of conservative, culture-war Catholicism, he has personally instigated the anti-life move to resume federal executions.
He may be right about that need for morality, virtue and transformation.

This week we added to our Icelandic flock with assistance from David Grote at Whippoorwill Farm in Iron River, Wisconsin.
We took a road trip to Whippoorwill Farm and purchased two hens and a rooster, with the intentions of adding the hens to our pair, and giving the rooster to Theresa, one of our chicken benefactors.
Whippoorwill farm is beautiful. Even the overcast chill didn't take the spark out of the rolling hills and happy animals–three farm dogs, Priscilla the fjord horse, a pile of Icelandic sheep and an energetic coop of Icelandic chickens.
We had a great time, and finished our trip with a purchase of some of the beautiful hand-spun yarn David makes from his sheep's wool. We'll keep you posted on what creations come of the yarn from Monika and Opha. Vickie, our knitting friend, will whip up some warm goodies–note her matching sweater and half-gloves.
Theresa reports that the rooster is really mellow and is working well with her flock. Our chickens have been a different story–we now have Matilde on her own for awhile, to reflect on and hopefully reform her actions and stop pecking at the new hens, Bianca and Björk, who are patiently sitting in the background of this photo.

¶Ernest Dowson, 1867-1900, poet, novelist, and short-story writer whose work influenced many later authors. He was well-established with the literary set of London in the late 1880s and 1890s, and was a member of the Rhymers' Club along with W.B. Yeats, Lord Alfred Douglas, Arthur Symons, Richard Le Gallienne, and sometimes Oscar Wilde. Elkin Mathews and John Lane published the Club's first collections of poetry - including work by Dowson - in 1892 and 1894. After a series of family tragedies in the mid-1890s, his health began to rapidly decline, and he died at the age of 32. His poem Non Sum Qualis eram Bonae Sub Regno Cynarae provided Margaret Mitchell with the famous title of her most popular work Gone with the Wind.

Mirrors: objects banned throughout the globe. Despite this law that had been in place for decades, some of the reflective objects haven't been found; others missed in manhunts. The reason they were banned is still unclear, though users online have given examples of what - or who - is in place of your reflection.

Eijirou took the file Tetsu handed him, it was small, this guy must not have had a lot of bonding experiences. He opened the folder to the first page, Bakugou Katsuki, age 26, height 6'0… Eijirou looked at his picture, he was certainly attractive, not that attractiveness made finding a match super easy but it sure didn't hurt.
"What's the matter, he's hot, good education, steady job. This seems pretty routine." Eijirou's brows drew together as he addressed his boss.
Eijirou winced. Maybe not so easy then.

Q: Centering a Layout within ScrollView. Kivy/KivyMD I am trying to create a Layout in Kivy/KivyMD that is responsive, centered and scrollable. So far I have developed two layouts, one that centers a BoxLayout in a FloatLayout and that can be beautifully resized, however it doesn't scroll.
I have also developed a layout that is a GridLayout in a ScrollView, it resizes beautifully, but at large window sizes it doesn't center the GridLayout properly.
I have tried to put a BoxLayout within a FloatLayout in a ScrollView, it resizes beautifully BUT the scroll bar doesn't work.
I have so far been unable to combine the centered resizable Layout within a properly working scrollview. How should I accomplish this?
Here is my scrollview example:

LIPSUM = """Very long lipsum..."""

        return ExampleScroll()

Example().run()

Here is my centering example:
from kivymd.app import MDApp
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.scrollview import ScrollView
from kivy.uix.floatlayout import FloatLayout

LIPSUM = """Very long lipsum..."""

class ExampleCenter(FloatLayout):
    pass

class Example(MDApp):
    title = "Dialogs"
    label_text = LIPSUM

    def build(self):
        return ExampleCenter()

Example().run()

How can I compile both of those and make it work?

A: The problem is that you are trying to use pos_hint in a child of a ScrollView (which doesn't honor that property). So, rather than trying to center the child of the ScrollView, center the ScrollView itself. This means that the ScrollView must be placed inside a Layout. So, if you use FloatLayout, you can do something like:
<ExampleFL>:
    ScrollView:
        pos_hint: {'center_x': .5}
        size_hint_x: None
        width: grid.width

        do_scroll_x: False
        bar_width: 10
        bar_color: app.theme_cls.primary_color
        bar_color_acrive: app.theme_cls.accent_color
        effect_cls: "DampedScrollEffect"
        scroll_type: ['bars']

        GridLayout:  # If FloatLayout and BoxLayout, doesn't scroll!
            id: grid
        .
        .
        .

And create the ExampleFL class:
class ExampleFL(FloatLayout):
    pass

This sets the width of the ScrollView to the width of its child GridLayout, and uses pos_hint to center the ScrollView inside the ExampleFL. Then your build method would, of course, return ExamplFL().

A: Programmatic implementation of centering view within ScrollView manipulating padding. This gives me the desired results.

A: What you have to do is first, create a scrollview, if posible, you can use, RecycleView so you can easy add widget as Classes that have been defined as Widgets:
Example:
class Thing1(AnchorLayout):
    pass

Kv ="""
<Thing1>:
    anchor_x: "center"
    MDIconButton:
        icon: "hi.png"

"""

Now, wherever your scrollview or recycleview widget id is defined, do the following:
app.root.ids.scrollview_id_of_your_widget.add_widget(Thing1())

Or if you are using RecycleView
app.root.ids.scrollview_id_of_your_widget.data.append({"viewclass": "Thing1", })

The widget on your scrollview will be centered.

We wanted to share a case story with you that involved one of the popular product lines we carry, Nexus Valves. We hope sharing this case story of how they solved a noise issue at a local University will give you some ideas on solutions your can provide your clients.
Recently Nexus Valve and one of their manufacturers' representatives, Faco, were highlighted in HVAC/P magazine for a project that used the Dynamic, a combined pressure independent flow limiter and control valve, to solve a noise issue at a local university. The Dynamic, along with custom valve packages, were combined with the NexLok push-fit connection system to provide a fast, clean installation for the partnered contractors.
In the case story, you'll see that Ball State University had an opportunity to renovate one of its popular residence halls,which is an eight-story building housing 450 students and features a computer lab, fitness room, lounge area, and laundry rooms. The building was 46 years old and residents were complaining of loud noise associated with the water pressure.
The University turned to Nexus Valve for a solution with the issue. Nexus Valve brought in their local manufacturer's representative Faco to help solve the challenge and use this project as a training opportunity for their Dynamic Valves.
The result was to suggest a pressure independent control valve combined with a thermal motoric actuator to keep constant water pressure,which significantly reduces the noise level.
Not only did the solution they designed using the Nexus Valve system solve the noise problem, but when it was combined with new technology, the tool-less industrial strength Nex-Lok push-fit connection system, it allowed for a fast, clean installation that avoided damages in tight spaces. In fact, overall the contractor felt it ended up being an 80% faster install. Wouldn't that be nice?

TikTok announces 18+ live streams for content that needs to be "limited to adults"
TikTok is creating a new space for the adults in the room.
In a blog post, the app revealed several updates to its TikTok Live platform. Most notably, creators will soon be able to launch live TikTok broadcasts that can only be watched by viewers over the age of 18.
The arrival of age-restricted broadcasts may seem like TikTok's attempt to keep pace with more salacious live-streaming platforms, but that's not the case: So-called "adult content" will still be banned from your For You Page. TikTok's policies prohibit the sort of stuff that sells on OnlyFans, so don't get any funny ideas.
Instead, the new setting is billed as a safeguard that will ensure mature content reaches its intended audience. "Perhaps a comedy routine is better suited for people over age 18," explains the introductory blog post. "Or, a host may plan to talk about a difficult life experience and they would feel more comfortable knowing the conversation is limited to adults. We want our community to make the most of the opportunities LIVE can bring without compromising on safety."
The "adult swim" broadcast is not the only preventative measure TikTok is putting into place. As the app looks to protect young viewers, it is also enhancing moderation on TikTok Live. Its keyword filtering tool can now recognize phrases that are repeatedly banned from the chat in order to automate their removal. Meanwhile, the minimum age for live hosting has been bumped up to 18. Previously, anyone over the age of 16 could go live on TikTok.
TikTok Live now has a "multi-guest" option as well. Up to five other users can be invited onto a stream as co-hosts.

The term "school-to-prison pipeline" is a phrase that is used by education reform activists and organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU), the Justice Policy Center, Advancement Project, and the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) to describe what they view as a widespread pattern in the United States of pushing students, especially those who are already at a disadvantage, out of school and into the American criminal justice system. They argue that this "pipeline" is the result of public institutions being neglectful or derelict in properly addressing students as individuals who might need extra educational or social assistance, or being unable to do so because of staffing shortages or statutory mandates. The resulting miseducation and mass incarceration are said to create a vicious circle for individuals and communities.
The school-to-prison pipeline is understood to operate at all levels of US government (federal, state, county, city and school district), and both directly and indirectly.

Jalen Kennedy, a sixth grader at Morehouse Magnet School in Bastrop, LA.
Within two days Kennedy's research had been shared with over 75,000 people across America.
Contrary to popular opinion, Jalen says he doesn't believe Education and Poverty are root causes for the School to Prison Pipeline in America. "The lack of Spirituality and Cultural Enlightenment are the root causes of most of the problems with black youth. His research proved another symptom is related to unjust school policies which are created by school systems. "The school policies are hard on children who lack discipline. Since most Black children, male and female, lack Cultural Enlightenment, they also lack discipline at times. When we are not disciplined to learn we are constantly being sent to the office. This is how the school to prison pipeline begins," he explains..
"I think those organizations should talk with me and other brilliant Black students throughout America and ask us to serve on Youth Leadership Boards. Some of us are really paying attention and are eager to work. We shouldn't have to wait 'til we are older to get involved. Our country and our community needs us now.


We have considered Jesus as the Good Shepherd, The Way, the Truth, the Vine to our branches, the resurrection, the Alpha and Omega. Today we understand him as Light.
We read these words often so that we might remember that Jesus is the Light in a world filled with darkness.
We explore these words often so that we might believe that light can convert the deepest darkness.
We examine these words often so that we might share the good news that the darkness will never overcome us.
We pray these words often so that we might rejoice in the light that banishes the darkness forever.
We reflect on these words often so that we might act in our belief that we are also the light that dissolves the darkness.
We live these words often so that we might join Christ as the Light that transforms all darkness to light.
When we compare varying translations of this verse, we believe and act with the Light that is Christ.

With just two moves, Russia may have upended the U.S. role in the Middle East.
Working with its allies in Tehran and Damascus, Moscow first moved 28 attack and transport aircraft and enough housing for 2,000 troops to Latakia, Syria.
Then, Moscow set up a security and intelligence-sharing cell in Baghdad, also in coordination with Iran and Syria, to fight Islamic State extremists.
The result is that Russia has created a new Moscow-Tehran-Damascus axis of power in the region where it is "the only superpower willing to fight," said Michael Pregent, a visiting fellow at National Defense University.
"This completely undermines and marginalizes the U.S. fight against the Islamic State and supplants any leverage we have. We are not doing a thing," Pregent said, criticizing what he called U.S. President Barack Obama's "slow-burn" strategy in the region.
Other analysts have said that for months Washington had been losing its influence in Baghdad to neighboring Iran.
Washington's airstrike campaign also has done little to oust Islamic State militants from Iraq or Syria, and the Pentagon's efforts to train a rebel force to fight the extremists has failed.
And setting up an active base to prop up Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "has greatly increased Moscow's leverage in the region and over the final outcome of the four-year-old civil war there," Groll said.
Moscow's tactical moves have been effective, said Reva Bhalla, Stratfor Vice President for Global Analysis.
"Diplomatically, Russia is definitely tarnishing the image of the U.S. Russia comes out as the problem-solver and the U.S. looks like it's fumbling," Bhalla said.
By willingly putting military equipment on the ground with the intention to fight Islamic State extremists, Russia is sending a very clear message to the region that it is willing to be a credible partner," she said.
"Whereas before ... many have looked at Russia and said 'you are just a lot of talk' – now this whole Syria situation is having everyone recheck their assumptions," Bhalla said.
By inserting itself into the Syrian conflict to become an indispensable player, she added, Moscow has essentially set itself up for negotiations on other issues such as Ukraine.
But the U.S. may not have compromised its objectives in the region, sticking to its longer-term, broader security goals regardless of Moscow's maneuvers.
"The U.S. objective was to take a step back, and by doing so they were freeing themselves up to focus on other major priorities, knowing that military entrenchment there is a pretty thankless effort after a while," Bhalla said.
Some analysts have said the Russia-Syria-Iran alliance will also have a ripple effect on Washington's major regional ally, Kurdistan, in northern Iraq.
Kurdistan is split between two major political forces: that of the pro-West Kurdish Democratic Party (KDP) led by current Kurdistan Regional President Masood Barzani, and the pro-Iran Patriotic Union of Kurdistan and Gorran parties.
That fragmentation could also quickly seep into Baghdad. On Monday, unnamed sources in Iraqi media were citing plans for a coup against the government of Haider al-Abadi in favor of his more pro-Iranian predecessor, Nouri al-Maliki.
The United Nations and local medics said Tuesday the death toll from a reported airstrike on a wedding party in southwestern Yemen has risen to at least 130 people.
A Saudi-led coalition that has been conducting airstrikes in Yemen targeting Houthi rebels since March denied that it was responsible for the attack Monday on the village of Wahijah.
A spokesman, Brigadier-General Ahmed al-Asseri, called the allegation "totally false."
Civilians have been caught in the yearlong battle that began with Houthi fighters seizing the capital, Sana'a, and then pushing south to the port city of Aden in an offensive that sent President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi fleeing to Saudi Arabia.
Hadi returned this month after the airstrikes and pro-government forces pushed the Houthis back from Aden.
The U.N. Human Rights Office said Tuesday that as of last Thursday, 2,355 civilians had been killed in the past six months. Human rights groups have blamed both sides for killing civilians.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned Monday's attack and reiterated that there is no military solution to the conflict in Yemen.
"Any intentional attack against civilians is considered a serious violation of international humanitarian law," the statement said. "Violations of international law should be investigated through prompt, effective, independent and impartial mechanisms to ensure accountability."
The United Arab Emirates is introducing labor reforms that aim to tighten oversight of employment agreements for the millions of temporary migrant workers that comprise the bulk of the country's workforce, a top Emirati official said Tuesday.
The reforms are being implemented through three government decrees that will take effect on Jan. 1, Minister of Labor Saqr Ghobash told journalists in the federal capital, Abu Dhabi.
They focus on improving transparency of job terms and employment contracts, spell out how contracts can be broken and could make it easier for workers to switch employers.
The seven-state Emirates federation is home to millions of migrant laborers, many of them from South Asia and the Philippines. At 2.6 million strong, Indians alone far outnumber the local population.
Rights groups have long raised concerns about conditions for workers, including inadequate housing, low pay, the illegal confiscation of passports and limits on workers' ability to change employers. Labor unions are not allowed and strikes are illegal.
Protests over working conditions do occasionally occur, however.
Laborers in April set several vehicles on fire during a protest at a construction site in the north of the country following the death of one of their co-workers. That followed a protest the previous month by South Asian workers in Dubai over a pay dispute.
The Emirates has faced intensified scrutiny of its labor practices in recent years, particularly as it embarked on high-profile projects such as an ambitious cultural district known as Saadiyat Island in the capital, Abu Dhabi. That project includes a New York University satellite campus and eventually will host branches of the Louvre and Guggenheim museums.
The government-backed company leading the Saadiyat Island project, the Tourism Development and Investment Co., has implemented an employment policy that spells out minimum standards for contractors. It also has built a facility that is supposed to house employees working on the project and has hired an outside auditor to monitor working conditions.
A February report by Human Rights Watch found that those measures did not go far enough to stop workers on the project from being exploited — findings that TDIC disputed. A separate audit commissioned by New York University's partner in Abu Dhabi found gaps in compliance with labor guidelines by some companies working on the university's campus, leading them to agree to compensate affected workers.

Timelapse: Wolverine and marten make quick work of a frozen deer leg
By Keegan Clements-Housser January 30 2017
What do you get when you hang a hunk of deer in a tree and point a camera at it in rural Idaho? A hungry wolverine, a triumphant marten and – most importantly – some rare wildlife images.
The camera trap in question was set up by the Idaho Department of Fish and Game as part of a cross-state plan (also supported by Washington, Wyoming and Montana) to document wolverines in the area, and to establish how many of these elusive animals are out there. Potential camera trap locations are laid out in a grid-like pattern, and cameras and bait are then placed at random locations within that grid. In Idaho alone, 61 such traps have been set.
All that coverage is necessary given the intended stars of the show. Wolverines (Gulo gulo, literally "glutton glutton"), which are particularly large members of the weasel family, are known for keeping to themselves. As a result, documenting them in their natural habitat has proven challenging in the past.
"Only a tiny fraction of the public has ever encountered [a wolverine], and it's difficult to determine how many are out there, but Idaho Fish and Game is trying to learn where they live, or at least, where they are likely to live," notes the department in a press release.
The camera traps have certainly been snapping away – though not always at wolverines. According to wildlife technician Luke Ferguson, all sorts of animals have made appearances.
"So far, we've had animals of some variety on every camera," he says.
This includes fishers, martens, birds, foxes, coyotes, wolves and deer – all decidedly not wolverines. So when the elusive Gulo gulo makes a cameo (though it's unclear whether the timelapse above shows one individual or more), it's a moment to celebrate – even if that wolverine ends up sharing screen time with a marten, another member of the weasel family.
This is especially true considering the effort that goes into collecting these images. Researchers like Ferguson regularly drive snowmobiles up to elevations of 2,400-2,700 metres (approximately 8,000-9,000 feet) in the dead of winter to retrieve memory cards, reset bait for the traps and check to make sure the cameras are working properly. The few hours of daylight they get during the winter months mean they often have to leave well before dawn to make the round-trip.
But exactly why do the wolverines remain in the forest when most prey animals are hibernating, or have moved to lower elevations for the winter? That's something biologists are still working to understand, but we do know how these solitary creatures survive the harsh conditions.
"During winter, wolverines largely switch from carnivores to scavengers, and they're experts at finding and consuming carrion, which explains how a frozen deer leg was devoured like a Thanksgiving turkey," the team explains. Even food buried beneath thick snow is sniffed out, and a specialised upper molar at the back of the mouth allows the wolverine to chew through frozen meat.
Aside from providing clues about wolverine numbers, the camera traps will also help researchers learn more about their needs and preferred habitat.

Bouncing back? Maryland restaurant debuts 'bumper tables' for customers to keep social distance amid coronavirus
Associated Press,May 19, 2020, 11:29 a.m.
About a dozen of the so-called "bumper tables" were rolled out at Fish Tales, a restaurant in Ocean City, Maryland, on Saturday.Katie Kirby/Associated Press
OCEAN CITY, Md. (AP) — Diners in a Maryland beach town are bouncing back into eating out amid the coronavirus pandemic with a little help from inflatable inner tubes on wheels.
About a dozen of the so-called "bumper tables" were rolled out at Fish Tales, a restaurant in Ocean City, Maryland, on Saturday, news outlets reported. The inflated tube tables were created by Baltimore-based company Revolution Event Design & Production to allow people to practice social distancing while eating and talking in outdoor settings.
The devices feature a hole in the middle to accommodate people around 4 to 6 feet tall. Participants get a little spring in their step with wheels attached to the bottom for moving around — all while maintaining a 6-foot (2-meter) distance from each other.
"We wanted to come up with a creative and fun way to keep everyone safe and compliant, but still bring back the social and festive and party aspect of the event," Erin Cermak, the CEO of Revolution Event Design & Production, told the Baltimore Sun.
Shawn Harman, the owner of Fish Tales, said he and his wife have purchased 10 bumper tables from Cermak's company. Harman said he plans to order 40 more tables so customers can enjoy their food and remain distanced while dining in the restaurant's parking lot.
"If you come in to get a pound of shrimp and a beer, you can stand in one of these and walk around and look at things and talk to people," Harman said. He said the reception to the bumper tables was positive when his family and friends took them out for a trial run outside his restaurant Saturday.
"There are other restaurants in other parts of the country that have contacted us to get information to order them," Harman said.
Cermak, who is the cousin of Harman's wife, told the Baltimore Sun that many restaurants, cafes, and even a sports franchise have contacted her after news outlets reported on the tables. She said her company can customize them for businesses and also rent them out per day.

The Houston Texans and Tampa Bay Buccaneers meet Saturday in week 16 NFL action at Raymond James Stadium.
The Houston Texans look for another win after winning five of their last seven games. The Houston Texans have won three of their last five road games. Deshaun Watson is completing 67.8 percent of his passes for 3,668 yards, 26 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. Watson has two or more touchdown passes in 14 of his last 23 games. DeAndre Hopkins and Will Fuller V have combined for 1,801 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns while Kenny Stills has 35 receptions. The Houston Texans ground game is averaging 130.9 yards per contest, and Carlos Hyde leads the way with 1,030 yards and five touchdowns. Defensively, Houston is allowing 23.6 points and 379.4 yards per game. Zach Cunningham leads the Houston Texans with 133 tackles, Whitney Mercilus has 5.5 sacks and Tashaun Gipson has three interceptions.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers look to play spoiler while building on their four-game winning streak. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have split their last four home games. Jameis Winston is completing 61.7 percent of his passes for 4,573 yards, 30 touchdowns and 24 interceptions. Winston has 11 touchdown passes in his last four games. Chris Godwin and Mike Evans have combined for 2,590 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns while OJ Howard has 31 receptions. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers ground game is averaging 91.4 yards per contest, and Ronald Jones II leads the way with 541 yards and five touchdowns. Defensively, Tampa Bay is allowing 28.4 points and 350.1 yards per game. Lavonte David leads the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with 105 tackles, Shaquil Barrett has 16.5 sacks and Sean Murphy-Bunting has two interceptions.
The Texans are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 road games, 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 Saturday games and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 games as a favorite. The Buccaneers are 0-8 ATS in their last 8 Saturday games, 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games as an underdog and 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The under is 5-2 in Texans last 7 games overall. The over is 11-1 in Buccaneers last 12 games overall.
The Houston Texans bounced back nicely from their bizarre loss to the Denver Broncos with a road win over the Tennessee Titans, and they're a team that's fighting for at least the third seed in the standings. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have surprisingly won four straight games and Winston is playing his best football since his FSU days. Underdogs have thrived on short rest this season and it's hard to argue the Bucs at home and a free point with them at home given their current form. However, the Texans have been the more consistent team all year and Deshaun Watson is one of those quarterbacks who thrives in big situations. I'll lay the small chalk with the Texans on the road. Excuse me if I'm still hesitant with these Bucs.
