Although it is only available in English and the only accepted currency is the US Dollar, this online casino accepts players from many countries, including the United States. It is very hard for a gambling place to offer its online services to players from the States, so we should give credit to Miami Club Casino for being able to find a way to reach gamblers who live there.

The online casino is really rewarding, especially if you're a new user, as you'll get a 100% bonus for the first 8 deposits you make. The limit is $100/deposit but if you reach the limit for the first 8 times, you get $800 you can use for playing your favorite online slot machines. Any bonus you get from Miami Club Casino is added to your Bonus Balance, which is different from the real money balance where you can see how much money you have in your deposits. Whenever you place a bet, you'll use the funds from the bonus balance and before you're able to withdraw these money you need to wager them for a certain number of times.
Miami Club is powered by WGS Technology, a company which produces high-quality online casino games that can be played both on computers and mobile devices.

The online slot machines of this casino cannot be played by residents of some countries because of their laws regarding online gambling. Although this online casino obtained a license from the Curacao eGaming authority, it cannot be accessed from Canada, Israel, Moldova or the United Kingdom. Players from the United States are accepted, though, which is not so common among online gambling places.
When you place bets in this online casino you can be sure that your data is secure and that the games are fair as it uses the latest encryption systems which make it impossible for anyone to encode them. The fairness of the games is guaranteed as the gambling place obtained a license from a gaming authority, which only offers the authorization to casinos that respect all the regulations regarding games fairness and security. The withdrawal limit is $2.000/week and it might seem like a small amount but I wish you'll be able to withdraw this sum every week. If you're a high-roller, it might be a little bit hard to wait until you can transfer your big wins to your bank account but patience is a virtue and it helps people achieve great things in life.

Poll Report: Do Libertarians Think Politicians Are Criminals?
Garry Reed
Garry Reed combined a professional technical writing career and a passion for all things libertarian to become The Libertarian Opinionizer.
Department of Political Corruptions Most Wanted Made Men | Source
Commentary From Your Libertarian Opinionizer
A website called "I Side With" poses various quizzes and questions on a host of public issues like political candidates, taxes, immigration, sanctuary cities, lobbying, voter fraud, whistleblower protection and an endless supply of other current events. They then reveal the results based on responses from specific categories like race, ethnicity, income, ideology, political party, country, geographic region and the like. This poll question appeared recently on their site:
"Should a politician, who has been formerly convicted of a crime, be allowed to run for office?"
Libertarians will almost certainly smell a trick question and ask "What other kind of politician is there?"
The poll was posted on January 6, 2017. By early March there were nearly 8,000 responses from "All" with nearly 2,000 of those answers coming specifically from libertarians. But what libertarians? If ever there was a truly diverse group of politically, socially and culturally oriented people that group would be libertarians, not liberals.
An Act of Self-Defense
YOUR LIBERTARIAN OPINIONIZER'S PICK: At first glance this sounds like a documentary. Congress is controlled by an entrenched, unscrupulous Washington aristocracy of corrupt politicians from the two-party system passing legislation to enrich themselves and their cronies. But it's "only" a novel by a former Libertarian Party congressional candidate turned writer. It's fictionalized non-stop suspenseful reality.
At some point all of us with even a hint of libertarianism in our souls must decide whether this novel should become a work of non-fiction.
Liberals are nowhere near as "diverse" and "welcoming" as they pretend to be. After all, they specifically identify as collectivists – "the group" being their fundamental unit of society – and will not welcome any sort of diversity that doesn't fit into their rigidly self-defined politically correct cocoon.
Modern American Libertarians understand that "the individual" is the fundamental unit of society and therefore exclude only those who fail to accept, or at the very least pay lip service to, the non-aggression principle against physical coercion, intimidation and fraud.
Because of this diversity it takes a very large three-ring circus tent to hold such self-identifying libertarians as left libertarians, right libertarians, socialist libertarians, communist libertarians, Republican libertarians, limited government libertarians, political libertarians, cultural libertarians, voluntaryist agorist mutualist post-statist libertarians and others too numerous to name.
The big tent concept of libertarianism even includes Ron Paul and Rand Paul Libertarians and their supporters who believe they can beat back dirty politicians with clean politicians, even if all they can do is win a political office just to hold it hostage against the greedy grasp of some unprincipled politico.
Fortunately the "I Side With" people offer not just YES or NO answers but allow for a few expanded responses. Since the majority of libertarian votes landed on the NO side it deserves the first look.
(article continues below graphic)

Remember, the question is "Should a politician, who has been formerly convicted of a crime, be allowed to run for office?"
The vast majority of all libertarian respondents (83%) simply hit the NO box and moved on. While anarchists, voluntaryists and other post-statist libertarians don't want any kind of politicians they all should be questioning what exactly constitutes a "criminal." Most libertarians reject the idea of "victimless crimes," i.e., if no one has been the victim of physical coercion, intimidation or fraud then no legitimately defined "crime" has been committed. This is typically expressed as "If there is no victim there is no crime."
Anti-statist libertarians define all governments as criminal gangs and therefore all members as gangbangers.
In today's world of course a "crime" is anything the political-legislating-lawyering classes want it to be. Ingesting any kind of substance into one's body that hasn't been sprinkled with the ruling law-givers' holy water makes one a "criminal." A person who has sex following dinner and a movie is not a criminal but if she or he has sex after accepting Federal Reserve Notes they are "criminals." Virtually all forms of gambling make people "criminals" unless they're doing it at state-licensed casinos or using Lotto tickets and scratch-offs so The State can skim its "legal non-criminal" take off the top.
Victimless crimes are the province of non-libertarians who demand conformity from others. Traditionally it's been fundamentalist conservatives imposing their preferred laws on others but today it's just as common for intolerant social justice warriors to demand obedience to its own self-ordained orthodoxy.
To legitimately click NO here the question would have to read "Should a politician, who has been formerly convicted of an actual crime resulting in an actual victim, be allowed to run for office?"
But there is another option under the NO column:
A Crony Corporatist Fat Cat (NOT a free market capitalist) takes his domesticated pets for a walk down Crony Street. | Source
"No, and disallow politicians that are under investigation for a crime"
This might be an even worse answer. Imagine if this was the law throughout the country today. In every village, town, city, county, state and on the national level where powerful political incumbents cahoot with their fellow despicable attorneys general, prosecutors, judges, law enforcers and other control-wielders to successfully engage in such profitable activities as influence peddling, bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement no one will ever get voted out of office.
Any opposition candidate who even appears to have the ability to unseat such a current officeholder won't have a prayer. First there will be a leak: "The challenger is under investigation for a crime" followed by the official announcement "We cannot comment on an on-going investigation" followed by a steady drip of more leaks. The investigation will naturally continue until after the election.
"YES" Period
The most popular answer on the YES side of the issue is YES. Nothing more, nothing less, just YES. This means that these libertarians have no problem with convicted criminals running for public office. These would seem to be how those in the general public misidentify all libertarians by calling them "libertines," those who have no or near-zero conscience and will accept no restraints on their actions, even the voluntary self-restraint of the non-aggression principle.
A simple YES answer means all convicted rapists, murderers, kidnappers, child molesters and similar types – those who actually do victimize others – could run for public office. This is a direct rejection of "If there is no victim there is no crime." There is no explanation of why any voter would want such people holding such power over their heads.
These responders, as any libertarian can attest, are not libertarians under any meaningful concept of the word; these are sociopaths and psychopaths. Or, even more likely, they're just run-of-the-millstone anti-libertarians pretending to be libertarians voting YES to push their anti-libertarian agenda to create, in now-popular parlance, Fake News.
Fortunately, there are other options than "Just Say NO."
Alternative meaning for "animal pen" and "penitentiary" | Source
"Yes, as long as it was not a felony, violent, financial, or sexual crime"
This is a much better answer, one that libertarians would simply rephrase as "Yes, as long as it was a victimless crime." Of course, it will still take a very heavily populated libertarian and/or libertarian-minded constituency to get even this kind of candidate elected anywhere in the country.
"Yes, as long as they have finished serving their sentence"
This could be combined with the previous choice but there's still a problem with both choices. There was once an attitude about "justice" in this country that after a person has finished serving one's sentence they are considered to have "paid their debt to society." No more.
With rare exceptions everyone's adult past follows them everywhere they go forever. Even a victimless crime on a person's record will make it extremely difficult to get a job, rent an apartment, obtain a government license to enter into any kind of professional career, or be accepted in much of mainstream society.
While libertarians reject the notion of "paying one's debt to society" on the basis that nobody ever commits a crime against a concept – "society" or "the people" or "the state" – but only against other specific individuals, re-introducing the idea of paying one's debt by scrubbing a person's criminal and victimless criminal past at some point, say after a successful probationary period, would go a long way in allowing people to reenter society and get their lives back again.
Disgraced President Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon: Without crooked politicians we might not have any politicians at all. No wonder they aren't disallowed by the Constitution.
"Yes, as long as the crime was not committed while in office"
This is the last and oddest YES answer, which might explain why only 1% of libertarian responders picked it. The obvious question here is why it would matter whether a person became a convicted rapist, murderer, kidnapper or child molester while in or out of office. All of the above considerations should apply in either case.
And a final note on this from the "I Side With" website:
"The U.S. constitution does not prevent convicted felons from holding the office of the President or a seat in the Senate or House of Representatives. States may prevent convicted felons candidates from holding statewide and local offices."
The next question ought to be: Do libertarians, especially limited government "minarchists," agree with this constitutional position?

The prevalent opinion that childhood is a happy time for most people is only one manifestation of our tendency to deny the realities of childhood. Ever since Freud scandalized his contemporaries with his pioneering research into the psychological effects of childhood sexual traumas, child abuse has been a topic laden wth taboos and avoided by most researchers and theorists—a situation that has only recently begun to change. In this course Dr. Moore examines the nature and dynamics of child abuse from a Jungian point of view. After reviewing available historical and psychological research on the topic, Moore works toward an understanding of the theoretical and therapeutic issues which arise from a close encounter with the horror of these experiences.

Q: Dual compatibility of TeX sources Consider the following situation. You enjoy TeXing on your local machine, having fun with the latest versions of various packages. For example, exploiting the benefits of TikZ/externalize... or biblatex.
Alas... Your university's TeX installation is old, or your collaborator cannot use your cutting edge packages. Then, a checked out copy on the other system won't compile!
One solution, which I have just used, is to remove all the fancy stuff from the source and make it compatible with the old-style system. This, however, has huge disadvantages; for example now compiling your source (on you local box) takes longer because you cannot take advantage of your latest installed version of TikZ.
Let me focus on the TikZ issue. Is there a way to automize a solution? That is, run a test at the beginning of the compilation, and enable or disable the usage of the externalize package depending on the system the document is currently compiled on?
Does this kind of approach make sense at all?
Edit:
I'm taking the risk of becoming too localized, but I do want to find a solution and to accept an answer here. I tired to use @JosephWright idea as follows:
\makeatletter
\IfFileExists{tikzexternal.sty}
{%
  \usetikzlibrary{external}%
  \tikzexternalize%
  \tikzsetexternalprefix{figures/cache/}%
  \renewcommand{\todo}[2][]{%
    \tikzexternaldisable\@todo[#1]{#2}\tikzexternalenable}%
}%
{%
}%
\makeatother

When compiling this I get the following error: Illegal parameter number in definition of \reserved@a. which I don't know how to fix... Any ideas?

A: LaTeX provides two tools that will be useful here: \IfFileExists and \@ifpackagelater. If we take the case outlined in the question, we cannot be sure the file is even available. I'll generalise to a package foo, which might give something like
\makeatletter
\IfFileExists{foo.sty}
   {%
     % True branch
     \usepackage{foo}
     \@ifpackagelater{foo}{2012/10/23}
       {%
         % All good: use latest code
       }
       {%
         % Code older: fall back on something?
       }%
   }
   {%
     % False branch: backup plan
   }%
\makeatother

Note that \@ifpackagelater actually gives TRUE if the dates match, and requires a date from a LaTeX package (\ProvidesPackage line). Also notice that \IfFileExists looks for files in general, so we need the full name including the extension.

"How times have changed. It used to be the unfaithful husband wrecking a marriage but, now, it is the wives who do the straying. Twenty family lawyers and counsellors say it is no longer a rare phenomenon for distraught husbands to come to them for help.
MORE marriages here are falling apart because of unfaithful wives. And the typical straying wife is a woman in her 20s or 30s who has been married for just a couple of years with no children, or maybe one young child. She is relatively well-educated and earns her own income.
Most of the 20 family lawyers and marriage counsellors interviewed say it is no longer a phenomenon for distraught husbands to come to them for help.
In fact, lawyers say that of the marriages they see in which infidelity is discovered to be the major cause of breakdown, the unfaithful one is the wife in about a third of the cases.
A decade ago, only about one in 10 of the affairs were committed by women. The man was almost always the one who strayed, lawyers said.
The five marriage counsellors interviewed said the increasing number of men in a crisis situation because their wives were having affairs was a worrying trend.
Mr Spencer Lee, a counsellor from the Covenant Family Service Centre (FSC), said he had seen about four such cases in the past eight months. Lawyer Amolat Singh said: 'Women have more economic independence and more opportunities to meet other men.
Some say the rise in cheating wives is an indicator of changing social values.
But, said Dr Anamah Tan, a lawyer who has been practising for almost 40 years, most times, these women just happen to meet someone who meets their needs while their husbands don't.
Many said their husbands worked long hours and did not spend enough time with them.
Not everyone, however, agree that more wives are having affairs. Lawyer Angela Wong said husbands were responsible for 90 per cent of extramarital affairs.

If you're looking for somewhere to beat the heat of your New York City summer, try visiting some of these
"Cart, horse, cart"
Now—August 17
Lehmann Maupin's "cart, horse, cart" was inspired by "Inherent Structure"—an exhibition curated by Michael Goodson in 2018, which reinterpreted the historical associations of abstraction through the works of 60 multigenerational artists like Sam Gilliam and Laura Owens. Co-organized by Goodson and the gallery's curatorial director, Anna Stothart, "cart, horse, cart" displays the outcome of "Inherent Structure," answering the question, "Where does abstraction come from?." The display in both of Lehmann Maupin's Chelsea show spaces features a compilation of 15 artists, the exhibition brings together works by McArthur Binion, Cecily Brown, Lari Pittman, Molly Zuckerman-Hartung, and more.
"A Look Back: 50 Years After Stonewall"
Fort Gansevoort
Half a decade after the notorious riot at The Stonewall Inn, Lucy Beni and Adam Shopkorn have curated "A Look Back: 50 Years After Stonewall." The commemoratory exhibition honoring the anniversary of the beginning of the Gay Liberation movement in the U.S. celebrates themes like love, protest, and revolt. It features works created by LGBTQ+ artists around the time of the riot, along with documentation of the movement, a tribute to Neil Sullivan (who once lived where Fort Gansevoort is now located), and ephemera like protest and pride buttons and Tee Corinne's Cunt Coloring Book (1975). Works by Lyle Ashton Harris, Martin Wong, Joan E. Biren, and Kate Millett are also on view.
Accompanying 303 Gallery's new publication, 303 Gallery: 35 Years is an anniversary exhibition featuring the works of around 30 artists who have previously exhibited at the gallery, including Doug Aitken, Alicja Kwade, Eva Rothschild, Richard Prince, and Dan Graham. The book, created under the direction of Fabiola Alondra, features over 400 pages of detailed history about the gallery that opened in 1984. Included is a dive into the gallery's exhibition archives and personal texts by artists like Nick Mauss and Mary Heilmann, who have provided intimate tales from the gallery's last 35 years.
"A Body of Work"
A compilation of works by six artists—Julia Brandāo, Margaux Crump, Anneli Goeller, Juan Neira, Ryan Wild, and Max Colby—Jane Lombard Gallery's "A Body of Work" is an exhibition highlighting implications of the human body in various forms, focusing on domesticity, identity, temporality, and memory. Curated by Shehab Awad, the show includes a range of drawings, sculptures, and collages like Wilde's sculptural discussions on sexuality and gender; Goeller's queer narratives, exploring the digital world's boundaries between the virtual and corporeal; and pieces from Crump's Blushing Bruising series, which examines the skin on the body as a marker of a moment in time.

When payroll is rolling, all is right in the world. When it's not...well, the message gets pretty angry, pretty quickly. An error-free payroll system is critical for any organization, and for an HR professional who is handling it all - well, it's quite a load to carry.
If yes, it's time to give yourself a break. Managing payroll without a software system allows for wasted labor hours that you could spend completing more strategic initiatives.
Whether big or small, mistakes in payroll can snowball into a huge deal. After all, it's money, and when that's the case, it's personal. Common payroll mistakes like confusion on employee status or getting the right checks out the door are less likely to happen when your payroll is automated.
We like to remind payroll specialists that if you're writing an employee's name more than zero times, it's too many. A robust payroll system can decrease the number of human-introduced errors and consequently, eliminate a lot of hurry-up-and-fix-it-work.
New pay grade? Everyone email payroll.
Or worse - are paper notes dropped off at your desk?

The Administrator also sought recommendations from Senior Director Medical and Health Service for establishing oxygen plant۔
Administrator Karachi Laeeq Ahmed on Tuesday directed Medical and Health Services to establish oxygen plant to ensure timely provision of oxygen to Karachi Metropolitan Corporation's hospitals. COVID-19 special ward at Abbasi Shaheed Hospital should remain functional around the clock. The doctors and paramedics should be provided personal protection equipment and other preventive kits as their lives are equally valuable. The officers who raise issues in the department should also come up with solutions of the issues. Budget for next fiscal year should be made by keeping ground realities in the mind, the Administrator passed these remarks while presiding over a meeting of Medical and Health Services and Finance departments at his office here. Ahmed said that hospitals are made to facilitate the citizens and all 14 medical institutions should remain functional around the clock. He also advised the doctors and paramedical staff to adopt precautionary measures while treating the patients. "Lives of doctors and paramedics are equally valuable for us," he added. The Administrator also sought recommendations from Senior Director Medical and Health Service for establishing oxygen plant to ensure timely provision of oxygen to hospitals. Senior Director Medical and Health Services Dr Salma Kausar informed Ahmed that there are 5579 people including doctors and paramedical staff are employed at KMC's hospital. She said that provision of oxygen to hospitals cost Rs 1.4 million per month. Dr Salma said that a large number of people visit KMC's hospital and they are provided proper treatment. Ahmed directed all health institutions should be made fully functional as they cater low-income areas. A list for equipment needed at Gizri Medical center should be compiled and sent for approval. Addressing the officers of finance department, the Administrator said that team work is needed to bring stability in any department. He said that no compromise would be made on revenue target, asking the departmental heads to achieve their target at all cost. Ahmed said that financial issues of the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation would be resolved on priority basis He also passed directives to give priority to Information and Technology so that financial issues could be made transparent. Ahmed directed that the next fiscal year budget should be prepared by keeping the needs of the people and the works which facilitate the people at large should be given priority.

Q: Badges are not synoptical - present them as hierarchy? If you click "Badges" overview in menu or you see some users' badges, you just see a very, very long list which is not very synoptical. Wouldn't it be much nicer to present them in hiearchy? For example:

Nice question  ->  Good question -> Great Question
Notable question -> Popular question

In general, that could lead not only to a tree, but to more general acyclic graph - because one badge may be subset of more badges, but also two badges might be easiest version of one badge.
The badges could also be placed into groups, like
Answers
Questions
Promotion
Bounties
...
Funny
...
Other

That would be nice, wouldn't it? What are your ideas?

A: I think that, in case this were to be modified, the user should be able to select the display. Similar to the list of answers ...

... that has four options to customize it, the badge display (which currently lists newest first I think) could look something like this:

But ...
I think the hierarchical display will not be as easy to implement as changing the order from newest to alphabetical would be. Plus, this kind of display will definetly make the badge list a lot longer. For example, if one has 3000+ badges like this person (to pick one arbitrarily :)), the list would get a lot longer since you'll never display more than three badges per "row".
Also, what would be the display behavior for badges that don't have three versions, like Autobiographer, Beta, Commentator, Cleanup, ...? Are they going to be listed on a single row for themselves, or rather en-bloc below the hierarchical display similar to the way things are right now? The former would prolong the display even more ...

A: I'd like to see a table with columns for bronze, silver and gold, and with badges that are "the same" in the same row. Rows should probably be grouped into categories, too.

A: This is one great idea. Although the present table is placed in alphabetical order, I feel that it does have its disadvantages, especially when it comes to groups, and categories, as Tomas has pointed out.
Putting them in groups, trees, and hierarchies would simplify matters a lot.
Great idea!


Frailing Banjo | Be happy. Play the banjo!
Patreon sponsors take note, the book is back on track! A new chapter was uploaded today.
When I started the project, I was unable to type more than a few sentences without passing out. it was interesting from a neurological viewpoint, but it made things impossible for creative work. I am always willing to change how I work to get around a problem, so I started writing this new book by hand.
Reams of paper and worn out pencils later I found myself quitting Suboxone. The withdrawal process was torture, but at the end I was able to type again.
I was not expecting this, but I'll take it!
My father already transcribed my handwritten work to the computer, so now I am knocking the rough edges from that as well as writing new chapters on the computer.
While work has been slower than I would like, I do think the finished product will be worth the effort. A book of true stories centering around my adventures learning music.
The first episode of The Banjo Dojo has yet to be released and we already have wannabe banjo gurus trying to imitate the project.
Anyway, The Banjo Dojo will be going live soon. Accept no substitutes!
Neuropathy pain knocked me out of commission for most of this week. Things are slowly improving, and I assure my Patreon sponsors that The Daily Frail should be back in production soon.
On April 20th my parents will be celebrating their 51st wedding anniversary. They continue to amaze me with their unceasing love for each other. Here's to many more years of happiness!
The Banjo Dojo will begin releasing episodes soon. Patreon sponsors will have first access to each video episode for a period of time before it is released to the general public. As an added bonus, Patreon sponsors will also have the first opportunity to register for the weekend-long Banjo Dojo workshop on Maryland's Eastern Shore (more on that later!).
More information on The Banjo Dojo will be posted soon. Be sure to work through The How and the Tao of Old Time Banjo and A Book of Five Strings while you are waiting!
So last night my neuropathy was going crazy and I was in agony. I passed the hours listening to music and assuring myself that the only way things could get worse was if I accidentally set myself on fire.
This was a mistake. Things always get worse.
To prove this. Pooka decided to latch on the the cable of my cheap headphones. The headphones do not work well for me, but at this time I have no way to hook my bone anchored hearing aids to the laptop.
I tried to get Pooka to let go before she chewed through the cable, but she decided to run for it. In the process she dragged my laptop off of the bed where it came crashing to the floor. The hard drive is toast. Sigh.
Without laptop cables to entertain herself with, Pooka spent the rest of the night attacking my feet. Neuropathy pain is the worst – but when a seventeen pound tortoiseshell calico sinks her teeth and claws into a neuropathic big toe . . . well that's just hideously painful.
Not sure if I will replace the laptop. Being able to work in bed is a bit of a big deal when I am in a lot of pain, but Pooka is such a crazy cat that I am not sure what to do. Giving up on Pooka is not an option – I don't have that many friends left!

The Estes Park Ladycats basketball team was on the losing end of a 55-18 blowout in Greeley, Colo., on Tuesday against the University Bulldogs.
It was their lowest-scoring game of the season.
"University is a good team," said Head Coach Michael Welch. "They dominated us with their defense and rebounding."
The Ladycats have struggled to convert games to wins after returning from winter break the first week of January.
After starting the season with a stellar 5-0 record, the girls have dropped their last four games in a row, bringing them to 9-6.
Estes Park struggled the most they have all season against the Bulldogs. The girls didn't have a single quarter where they scored double digits. In the third, they only put up two points.
"We shot poorly and had a lot of turnovers," Welch said.
University shut down the Ladycats' strong post players and didn't allow their guards to find open shooting lanes.
Junior Oliva Hamel, who averages 12.7 points-per-game, only put up six points against the Bulldogs. Ruth Walker went scoreless, and Junior Jen Johnson had six points.
Overall, the team only had a shooting percentage of 21 percent in the game. That's compared with their highest-scoring game of the season, where they made 38 percent of their shots.
At halftime, Estes Park trailed the Bulldogs by 22 points. Coach Welch said that, in the locker room, the girls looked at ways that they could change the game around.
"We always analyze and adjust," he said. "We tried to change our press breaker and our defense."
Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Estes Park only put up another eight points in the remainder of the game compared to University's 23 points.
The final score was 55-18 in favor of University.
Estes Park will regroup before their toughest game of the season against Sterling on Saturday, Feb. 2.
"We will see how they are today when we review the game in detail," Welch said. "I think this group will keep working and try to get better."

Dover, Del. (Feb. 7, 2019) --- Kayla Stamm has stepped down as head coach of the Delaware State bowling team after two-and-a-half seasons at the helm to pursue a career opportunity in her home state of Pennsylvania.
Stamm was the 2017-18 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Coach-of-the-Year after leading the Hornets to their second straight MEAC Northern Division title. Delaware State also captured the 2016-17 division crown in Stamm's first season with the Hornets.
Under Stamm, the 2018-19 Hornets were 13th in the latest National Tenpin Coaches Association Top 25 poll.
Stamm, a collegiate standout at Wichita State, says it was a difficult decision to leave Delaware State's highly respected bowling program.
Delaware State Director of Athletics Dr. D. Scott Gines said Stamm deserves credit for maintaining the Hornets' national bowling profile during her tenure.
"On behalf of Hornet Athletics, we thank Coach Stamm for her service and devotion to Hornet Bowling, and we wish her great success and wonderful new adventures in her new career pursuits," said Gines.
Delaware State Associate Director of Athletics and Senior Woman Administrator Alecia Shields-Gadson has been appointed as the Hornets' Acting Head Bowling Coach.
Former DSU bowling standout Elizabeth Burkholder, a volunteer assistant under Stamm this season, will remain on the staff. Burkholder was a four-year letterwinner and member of the Hornets' 2015-16 MEAC championship team.
The Delaware State bowling team (35-22; 7-3 MEAC) will compete in the Sunshine State Classic in Orlando, Fla., this weekend.


Dominic Raab has come underneath fireplace for saying he "hadn't fairly understood" how reliant UK commerce in items is on the Dover-Calais crossing.
The Brexit Secretary's remarks got here at a expertise convention as he mentioned the "bespoke association" the UK sought with the EU after it leaves the bloc.
Shadow Brexit minister Jenny Chapman steered Mr Raab "does not even perceive the very fundamentals of Brexit".
Based on the Institute for Authorities, Dover is "a key artery for UK commerce heading to continental Europe" with greater than 2.5m heavy items automobiles passing by way of the port yearly.
Its report says items value £119bn handed by way of the port in 2015, "representing round 17% of the UK's complete commerce in items by worth".
Mr Raab instructed a expertise convention on Wednesday: "We wish a bespoke association in items which recognises the peculiar, frankly, geographic, financial entity that's the UK.
"We're, and I hadn't fairly understood the complete extent of this, however in case you have a look at the UK and in case you have a look at how we commerce in items, we're notably reliant on the Dover-Calais crossing.

Letter from the faculty to the International Students, their families, and the community that loves them
Grace to you and peace.
We are still processing the news that the rule change for international students taking online courses during the pandemic (stipulating that nonimmigrant F-1 and M-1 students may not take a fully online course load and remain in the United States, announced on Monday, July 6 by SEVP/ICE/DHS) has been rescinded (as announced on Tuesday, July 14). We are relieved at the cancellation of this threatening rule change, and grateful to the scores of universities, states, municipalities, and corporations who pooled their weight to challenge it in federal court.
We are relieved, but we cannot simply put this experience out of mind or forget the way it has disrupted and unsettled our community. We on the LSTC faculty know that the life of international students in our community is challenging in the best of times, given the distance from family and friends, the rigors and peculiarities of U.S. academic systems, the realities of systemic racism, the challenges of finances, and the uncertainties of navigating the ever-shifting U.S. political and immigration systems. This year, the COVID-19 pandemic has layered another level of anxiety and stress on already-existing stressors. And then on July 6th, SEVP added yet another layer of complication and foreboding. While the proposed rule change did not directly affect LSTC and its hybrid instructional model (as Dean Menn clearly laid out and for which [International Student Administrator] Gloria Vicente has meticulously provided documentation), many have felt that this rule change comes with an implied message from the U.S. government to international students: The U.S. doesn't care about your education or your safety and doesn't really want you here.
As LSTC faculty, we say to each of you: We care passionately about your education and your safety. And we give thanks to God that you are here and an integral part of our community at LSTC — a community that is incalculably richer for your presence. As Vima Couvertier-Cruz, admissions recruiter and acting international student services coordinator, affirmed, calling out each student's name during our recent community Zoom call, "I see you, you are important to us, you are valued."
From its incorporation in 1962, the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago has had global horizons. The initial vision for LSTC was for a theological institution that was urban, ecumenical, and university-related — that is, one located in a cosmopolis, that looked outwards to the entire oikoumenē, and that engaged the widest universitas of teachers and scholars. As if that were not clear enough, LSTC later added global to its list of the "marks of the seminary." The aspiration, at least, was that LSTC's global character would be part of the school's DNA, without which LSTC would not be itself.
The original conception of LSTC as a "global" institution came in a particular historical context: after the horrors of the Second World War, Christians from around the world were gathering—and coming to know one another—in new ways, through organizations such as the Lutheran World Federation [LWF] and the World Council of Churches. The founders of LSTC were impacted by these developments; and throughout the years, LSTC faculty and graduates have been and remain active in global ecumenical organizations, especially the LWF. Today, LSTC's global commitments are more urgent and valued than ever before, with ongoing partnerships with the LWF, ELCA Global Mission, and ecumenical and interfaith bodies.
LSTC's global commitments have never been a matter of conforming to a fad or finding an edge over competitors. Rather, they spring from deep Christian commitments, commitments that we enact in our liturgies:
❖ that God's house is envisioned as a "house of prayer for all people" (Isa 56:7);
❖ that the identity granted in Baptism ("into Christ Jesus") is deeper and truer (community-creating rather than community-dividing) than the world's identity markers, including citizenship (Gal 3:26-29; Phil 3:20);
❖ that "the communion of saints" professed in the Apostles' Creed embraces those of all times and all places, and it is to their prayers that we join our own;
❖ that the Peace we share is Christ's peace poured out to the world (John 20:21-23);
❖ that the Meal to which we are invited is a foretaste of that banquet in which "many will come from east and west" (Matt 8:11);
❖ that in this Meal, "we who are many are one body, because we all partake of the one bread" (1 Cor 10:17);
❖ and that God's tree of life is "for the healing of the nations" (Rev 22:2).
However, to speak about the "global" character of LSTC could have remained merely aspirational had it not come to be embodied in the LSTC community. And, in fact, scholars have come from all over the world to study at LSTC. You—the community of international students—make LSTC what it is. It is together with you that we strive to learn what it is to be one Body of Christ. It is together with you that we are trained to listen to the witness of "the communion of saints."
You have made the decision to invest years of your lives in this place and to enliven this community. And we, members of the LSTC faculty, are humbled, moved, and profoundly grateful. We recognize that you have journeyed to where God has called you to be, and we are grateful to witness the work of God through your work and presence here.
In this delicate moment, as we continue to ponder how to live as a community in time of pandemic, and following a government rule change that, even after being rescinded, continues to leave a bad taste, we as a faculty want to repeat some core commitments to you, our international students:
❖ We are committed to your academic success in this place; in particular, those of us who are your academic advisors are committed to attentive accompaniment of you in your programs.
❖ We will advocate for you in other matters that impinge upon your ability to thrive in this place. We promise ongoing attention and conversation, with Dean Menn and Advanced Studies Director Swanson charged with ensuring this. We will consult with you on issues that pertain to you.
❖ In any advocacy beyond our own institution, we will strive to speak and act wisely, so that no one is put at risk.
❖ We keep you in our prayers.
At the center of the word accompaniment is the idea of sharing bread (panis). It is a matter of deep pain that we cannot at the moment gather for meal fellowship, whether informally or at the Table of the Lord. But we pledge to use the means at our disposal to keep our LSTC community connected (including participation, when invited, in activities of the International Students Association), praying that God "bind us together" even as we remain socially distanced.
Members of the LSTC Faculty

RBS Citizens prevails at bench trial in trademark infringement case
Clients Citizens Financial Group, Inc., Charter One Bank, National Association and The Royal Bank of Scotland plc
Jones Day successfully represented RBS Citizens at a preliminary injunction hearing and subsequent bench trial in a trademark infringement case. In 2007, RBS Citizens announced its plan to rebrand hundreds of its CHARTER ONE bank branches in the Midwest to RBS CITIZENS. After the announcement, Citizens Banking Corporation, a billion-dollar Michigan-based bank that has used the mark CITIZENS BANK since 1871, filed a complaint in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Plaintiff, a bank that had successfully obtained previous injunctions against two other banks using "citizens" as part of their names, sought the same relief against our clients. The case was tried during the first two weeks of February 2008. On May 6, 2008, the Court issued a 26 page opinion and order denying Plaintiff's request for a permanent injunction and dismissing the complaint in its entirety. The decision was a total victory for RBS Citizens.

기단은 아래·위층 모두 각 면의 모서리와 가운데에 기둥모양의 조각을 두었다. 탑신의 각 몸돌에도 모서리마다 기둥조각을 두었으며, 지붕돌은 밑면의 받침이 5단씩이다.
Standing as twin pagodas in the east and west at the site of Wolgwangsa Temple, they consist of the two-story stylobate and the three-story main body that assumes the usual form at the time. Pole patterns are carved on all sides of the corners and the center for both stories of the stylobate. Each core stone of the main body also has a pole pattern carved on each corner. The roof stone has a five-tier cornice. In general, they have a similar form, but the eastern pagoda has lots of stones used in the composition of the stylobate compared with the whole size. On the other hand, the western pagoda has traces of damage, which prompted its restoration. At each facet of the stylobates are two pole patterns in the western pagoda and one pole pattern in the eastern pagoda. Both pagodas, which were built during the Unified Silla Period, are similar in general form but a bit different in terms of the composition and style, implying that they might be different in terms of the construction year.


Social Dilemma-Do You Ever Try To Avoid Talking With A Friend in Public?
Today's social dilemma came about because of something that happened to me yesterday. I'm not proud of it, but I can't be the only one who has ever done this. Yesterday I was feeling a little under the weather after work, so I went home, planned on taking some ibuprofen and taking a nap. So I got in my sweats and put my hair up in a ponytail and got ready to lay down. I went to take some ibuprofen and realized my sweetie must have used the last of it without telling me. So there I was not feeling great and I thought should I try to lay down without it. I knew my OCD brain would never let it go so I decided to run out to the store and get some. Of course, I didn't change because it was around 2:30 and I thought no one will see me, I'll run in and run out. Famous last words, right? I run in and immediately I see one of my neighbors. So I quickly ducked down a different aisle, because I looked horrible and secondly I didn't feel good and wasn't feeling small talk at the time. I grabbed my ibuprofen, checked out and off I went home. Of course I felt guilty about it for awhile, but ultimately I got my nap and all was right in the world. I still have a little guilt about it but I can't be the only one who's ever done that. Have you ever avoided seeing a friend, neighbor or coworker in a store so you didn't have to chat?? Please tell me I'm not alone. Let me know on the TRY Facebook page.

Officials probe if rescuers ran over crash victim
By Jason Dearen And Joan Lowy, Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Investigators have determined that Asiana Airlines Flight 214 was traveling "significantly below" the target speed during its approach and that the crew tried to abort the landing just before it smashed onto the runway. What they don't yet know is whether the pilot's inexperience with the type of aircraft and at San Francisco's airport played a role.
A day after the jetliner crash-landed in San Francisco, killing two people and injuring more than 180, officials said Sunday that the probe was also focusing on whether the airport or plane's equipment could have also malfunctioned.
Also Sunday, San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault said he was investigating whether one of the two teenage passengers killed actually survived the crash but was run over by a rescue vehicle rushing to aid victims fleeing the burning aircraft. Remarkably, 305 of 307 passengers and crew survived the crash and more than a third didn't even require hospitalization. Only a small number were critically injured.
Investigators said that the weather was unusually fair for foggy San Francisco. The winds were mild, too. During the descent, with their throttles set to idle, the pilots never discussed having any problems with the plane or its positioning until it was too late.
Seven seconds before the Boeing 777 struck down, a member of the flight crew made a call to increase the jet's lagging speed, National Transportation Safety Board chief Deborah Hersman said at a briefing based on the plane's cockpit and flight data recorders. Three seconds later came a warning that the engines were about to stall.
Two-and-a-half seconds later, the crew attempted to abort the landing and go back up for another try. The air traffic controller guiding the plane heard the crash that followed almost instantly, Hersman said.
While investigators from both the U.S. and South Korea are in the early stages of an investigation that will include a weeks-long examination of the wreckage and alcohol tests for the crew, the news confirmed what survivors and other witnesses had reported: a slow-moving airliner flying low to the ground.
"We are not talking about a few knots" difference between the aircraft's target landing speed of 137 knots per hour, or 157 mph, and how fast it was going as it came in for a landing, Hersman said.
In the first comments on the crash by a crew member, cabin manager Lee Yoon-hye said that seconds before impact she felt that something was wrong.
"Right before touchdown, I felt like the plane was trying to take off. I was thinking 'what's happening?' and then I felt a bang," Lee told reporters Sunday night in San Francisco. "That bang felt harder than a normal landing. It was a very big shock. Afterward, there was another shock and the plane swayed to the right and to the left."
She said that during the evacuation, two inflatable slides that were supposed to inflate toward the outside, inflated toward the inside of the plane, hurting two Asiana flight attendants. Pilots came to rescue the flight attendants but even after getting injured, she said that the crew did not leave the plane until after the passengers evacuated. She said she was the last one to go.
Pilots normally try to land at the target speed, in this case 137 knots, plus an additional five more knots, said Bob Coffman, an American Airlines captain who has flown 777s. He said the briefing raises an important question: "Why was the plane going so slow?"
The plane's Pratt & Whitney engines were on idle and the pilots were flying under visual flight rules, Hersman said. Under visual flight procedures in the Boeing 777, a wide-body jet, the autopilot would typically have been turned off while the automatic throttle, which regulates speed, would been on until the plane had descended to 500 feet in altitude, Coffman said. At that point, pilots would normally check their airspeed before switching off the autothrottle to continue a "hand fly" approach, he said.
There was no indication in the discussions between the pilots and the air traffic controllers that there were problems with the aircraft.
The airline said Monday in Seoul that the pilot at the controls had little experience flying that type of plane and was landing one for the first time at that airport.
Asiana spokeswoman Lee Hyomin said that Lee Gang-guk, who was at the controls, had nearly 10,000 hours flying other planes but only 43 in the 777, a plane she said he still was getting used to flying. Another pilot on the flight, Lee Jeong-min, had about 12,390 hours of flying experience, including 3,220 hours on the 777, according to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in South Korea. Lee was the deputy pilot, tasked with helping Lee Gang-guk get accustomed to the 777, according to Asiana Airlines.
Survivors and rescuers said it was nothing less than astonishing that nearly everyone survived after a frightful scene of fire burning inside the fuselage, pieces of the aircraft scattered across the runway and people fleeing for their lives.
The two dead passengers have been identified as students from China —16 and 17 years old— who were scheduled to attend summer camp in California with dozens of classmates. Hospital officials said Sunday that two of the people who remained hospitalized in critical condition were paralyzed with spinal injuries, while another two showed "road rash" injuries consistent with being dragged.
Foucrault, the coroner, said one of the bodies was found on the tarmac near where the plane's tail broke off when it slammed into the runway. The other was found on the left side of the plane about 30 feet away from where the jetliner came to rest after it skidded down the runway. Foucrault said an autopsy he expects to be completed by Monday will involve determining whether the second girl's death was caused by injuries suffered in the crash or "a secondary incident."
He said he did not get a close enough look at the victims on Saturday to know whether they had external injuries.
The flight originated in Shanghai, China, stopped over in Seoul, South Korea, before making the nearly 11-hour trip to San Francisco. The South Korea-based airline said four South Korean pilots were on board, three of whom were described as "skilled." Asiana airlines said late Sunday that the pilot in control of the plane had very little experience flying that type of plane and was landing one for the first time.
On audio recordings from the air traffic tower, controllers told all pilots in other planes to stay put after the crash. "All runways are closed. Airport is closed. San Francisco tower," said one controller.
At one point, the pilot of a United Airlines plane radioed.
"We see people … that need immediate attention," the pilot said. "They are alive and walking around."
"Think you said people are just walking outside the airplane right now?" the controller replied.
"Yes," answered the pilot of United Flight 885. "Some people, it looks like, are struggling."
When the plane hit the ground, oxygen masks dropped down, said Xu Da, a product manager at an Internet company in Hangzhou, China, who was sitting with his wife and teenage son near the back of the plane. He stood up and saw sparking — perhaps from exposed electrical wires — and a gaping hole through the back of the plane where its galley was torn away along with the tail.
Xu and his family escaped through the opening. Once on the tarmac, they watched the plane catch fire, and firefighters hose it down.
In the chaotic moments after the landing, when baggage was tumbling from the overhead bins onto passengers and people all around her were screaming, Wen Zhang grabbed her 4-year-old son, who hit the seat in front of him and broke his leg.
Spotting a hole at the back of the jumbo jet where the bathroom had been, she carried her boy to safety.
"I had no time to be scared," she said.
Nearby, people who escaped were dousing themselves with water from the bay, possibly to cool burn injuries, authorities said.
By the time the flames were out, much of the top of the fuselage had burned away. Inside The tail section was gone, with pieces of it scattered across the beginning of the runway. One engine was gone, and the other was no longer on the wing.
NTSB workers near the Boeing 777 Asiana Airlines Flight 214 aircraft. The Asiana flight crashed upon landing Saturday at San Francisco International Airport, and two of the 307 passengers aboard were killed.
