Ordering A Vinyl Sports Banner
With running a business like Special Teams Football Academy, there are always products that you have to buy to replace or upgrade. I had a great experience with this one company that I thought I'd give a "Shout out" to and recommend them to others if you are ever in need of a vinyl Sports Banner Sign.
I had a number of kicking camps coming up and was looking for a quality banner I could purchase that I could hang out at the entrance of my camps. I came across "Banners on the Cheap" and "Signs on the Cheap" and found this company to have some quality product options. I was able to customize pretty easily the look of the sign I wanted to have, and the rates were very reasonable.
I had to talk to someone in customer service and it was easy to communicate my questions with them and they were pretty quick to respond back to my email inquires. They even helped expedite my order to allow me to receive my Sign in time for my camp.
Here is a picture of how my banners turned out.
Here is a quick link to see this companies products.

5 Things To Do This Summer In College Recruiting
In this video, Coach Randy Taylor & Bob Chmiel of NCSA discuss the "5 Things To Do This Summer In Recruiting." Various topic cover Academics and Grades, Weight Training, Taking Unofficial Visits, Camps & Combines, and How to Effectively Communicate with a Coach over the summer.

I've had experience in the past training athletes that were very exceptional, but their GPA or ACT weren't as high and it effected their opportunities to be recruited. The last thing you want to effect your recruiting opportunities is something that you can control and it being your academics.

High School Kicker Recruiting Experience & Advice
I found this great article on MaxPreps.com about Kickers and the Recruiting process and their experiences. It is a few months old, but there are some great recruiting tips from a kicker going through the recruitment process.
You can read the article here, or below:

High school kickers are earning keep, signing on dotted line
By: Mitch Stephens Feb 14, 2012
Garland (Texas) kicker Josh Lambert lined it all up and felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. This was overtime.
The 5-foot-11, 205-pound senior focused keenly, pored through the paperwork one more time, grabbed a pen and split the dotted line perfectly with a clear and legible signature.
He is bound to be a West Virginia Mountaineer.
Lambert was one of the last kickers in the country to sign a letter of intent last Thursday. Most of the rest inked theirs on National Signing Day, Feb. 1.
There will be a whole slew of kickers from 2012 likely signing sometime - anytime - over the next year or two.
The recruiting process for them is different than that for the mainstream athletes – the quarterbacks, running backs and linemen – or as they are called around the locker room, the real players. Kickers and punters are simply specialists, pinch-hitters, designated free throw shooters.
"I've heard that my whole career," said Colby Cooke, a senior kicker from Goochland (Va.) who has secured a scholarship to Vanderbilt. "You have to block all that out. We're a part of the team like everyone else."
Try telling that to recruiters and college coaches. Most of them string along these impassioned young lads, promising them an offer is on the horizon, which more times than not turns out to be a preferred walk-on spot proposal.
"They want to see what you can do under pressure," said David Smith, whose son Jon David Smith from Oak Ridge (El Dorado Hills, Calif.) signed a 66-percent offer from NAIA school Southern Oregon. "Unless you're a Top 10 kid in the nation, most schools are going to rely on walks-ons."
That might be changing. More kids than ever are getting full and partial rides straight out of high school.
From the Class of 2012, 45 letters of intent have been signed by kickers or punters from the 120 Football Bowl Subdivision programs. Those include two signees each to Florida State, Purdue, Georgia, Washington and TCU.
That means one out of three Division I programs are committing to kickers early and not asking them to walk-on.
That, in part, appears to be due to more specialty camps and coaching so recruiters feel confident they're getting a polished product, a more sure bet. Then again, judging by all the last-second chip-shot misses in high-profile games at every level, nothing is a sure thing in the land of kicking.
Never has been and probably never will be.
In the recruiting process, that will always put the kickers on unfair footing, so to speak.
"It's really a hard process," Cooke said. "You get told that you're going to get offers by college recruiters, but then it doesn't happen. You just got to keep working hard. Something will break."
Cooke, a 6-foot-1, 195-pound senior, made the under-19 USA team that just played in the 2012 International Bowl on National Signing Day in Austin, Texas. He was fifth in the country with 17 field goals in 21 attempts in 2011 with a long of 51 yards. Remarkably, a second kicker from Goochland earned a scholarship in punter Thomas Meadows, who signed at Purdue.
Cooke said his big break came at a Vanderbilt camp.
"I just killed the workout," he said. "The next day they offered me and I jumped on it."
Shortly after accepting, more offers came in, including Virginia Tech, the school that originally asked him to walk-on. Virginia and Richmond were also in the mix. Making his decision more complicated was that Vanderbilt already has two kickers on scholarship, thus coaches asked Cooke to grayshirt. That means he won't enroll onto the Nashville, Tenn., campus until spring of 2013.
No problem, Cooke said.
"I just felt loved there," he said. "I love the head coach, all the coaches, the school, everything."
Picking the school and education – more so than just football – is vital, especially for kickers, said Marist (Atlanta) senior Austin Hardin, who has signed to the University of Florida. In a tremendous series offered by kickology.com, college-bound kickers throughout the country offered advice for high-level high school specialists.
"If you had a career-ending injury you first year, would you still love your college?" Hardin wrote. "Make sure it's a place you love and want to earn a degree from."
Other advice offered on the site:
"My kicking coach told me to remember to look out for yourself," said Texas-bound Nick Jordan, from Coppell (Texas). "The college coaches don't care about me, just about me playing for them, so I need to remember to make decisions for my own good."
Illinois-bound Ryan Frain, of Scecina Memorial (Indianapolis), said don't expect college coaches to show up at your game and make an offer. He said he spent hours on the computer to make contact with coaches and recruiters.
"Do everything in your power to get your name in front of coaches," he wrote. "You just never know what's going to fall through."
Frain also wrote: "Enjoy every second of it. It truly is an exciting process that not a lot of athletes experience."
Connecticut-bound Bobby Puyol, of Dwyer (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.), put it this way.
"Go to where you are celebrated, not tolerated."
Late bloomer
All the good advice in the world won't help unless you act swiftly, Smith said. His son fell into the recruiting game very late, but jumped in head and feet first. It helped that Jon David Smith had some natural talent.
As a sophomore, Jon David, who had played youth soccer for 10 years, was messing around on the football field and almost by accident kicked a 60-yard field goal. Word got back to the football coach, and well, a football star was born – by kicking standards anyway.
He transitioned quickly into the game and booted seven field goals as a junior and 44 PATs, tying three school records. Dave helped his son get serious into the kicking process and helped him get training through nationally known Chris Sailer.
"It's not only about the training and instruction, but getting to camps," Dave Smith said.
Jon David attended a couple national events in Las Vegas and worked hard in the weight room to build his leg strength on top of his 5-11, 180-pound frame. That helped him add 10 to 15 yards to his kickoffs.
Despite that, and a terrific senior season – he kicked seven more field goals, 40 PATS, had 44 touchbacks in 62 kickoff attempts with a long of 74 yards – he was too late to garner any Division I looks, his dad said.
"You need to get going by your sophomore season," David Smith said.
That said, Jon David, with offers from Sacramento State and Butler and interest from Humboldt State, took the offer from Southern Oregon.
"Everything all worked out for the best," David Smith said. "All the process was worth it."
There are some great online resources for kickers recommended by Coach Husby.
Among them: NationalCampSeries.com (thorough rating service of kickers, punters and long snappers), MinnesotaPreps.com/Rivals.com (Great information about High School Athlete's and recruiting), kicking.com (superb expert blog and news section) and kickology.com (the study of all things kicker related).

General Dental FAQs
Speaker Profile: Dr. David Isen
Dr. David Isen
Dr. David Isen was born and bred in Toronto. After his formative years in the Don Mills area, David went to the University of Toronto and completed a Bachelor of Science degree in neuroscience.
He then went on to the University of Western Ontario and studied dentistry. Following his graduation from dental school in 1991, David was lucky to join a well-known, established dental practice in his old neighborhood. Years later, he still maintains a private practice in the same suburban Toronto location.
Following his graduation from dental school, he received advanced training in intravenous sedation at the Montefiore Medical Center in New York. As a result of this, David's dental practice focuses on those who require special care for their treatment. People who have extra sensitive gag reflexes, special medical issues, patients who have difficulty getting numb and those who have "dental anxiety" are common in Dr. Isen's practice.
"I love practicing dentistry. The hands-on aspect can be challenging, however, what brings me the most gratification is the challenge of helping others overcome their fears and concerns regarding dental treatment. In our practice, we are routinely faced with the opportunity to improve our patient's oral health. It is particularly gratifying when our team is able to do this for someone who is apprehensive."
– Dr. David A. Isen
Because of Dr. Isen's unique dental practice, he has had the opportunity to participate in the dental profession in ways other than private practice. He has lectured to dentists all over the world on topics related to local anaesthesia, medical emergencies and the use of conscious sedation in dentistry. Also, he routinely presents lectures for the continuing dental education program at the University of Western Ontario and has lectured at the University of Toronto as well. He has acted as a consultant for a variety of dental supply and pharmaceutical companies regarding product development and sales, and he has been interviewed by many different media regarding dental anxiety. David was featured in the TV shows Marketplace and The Right Fit in episodes about dental phobia.
David is currently president of the Ontario Dental Society of Anaesthesiology and has acted as an article reviewer for dental journals as well as publishing many of his own articles.
David has received honorary fellowships from The Academy of Dentistry International, The International College of Dentists and The Pierre Fauchard Academy. These societies are in part philanthropic, further the practice of dentistry internationally and recognize contributions to the profession.
David and his wife Susan (a family physician) lead very busy lives with three young teenage boys. David remains active in the community coaching his kids in sports and jogging as much as he can so that his sons don't beat him in local races.

More:When is Beggars' Night this year?
His home at 510 S. Fifth St. was a bit of a magnet for chocolate-crazy Carlisle kids.
Highland, whose birthday falls on Halloween, and friend John Barrett were putting on the final touches on the yard last week in preparation for Beggars' Night.
Highland says he tries to keep the decorations tame enough to not scare young trick-or-treaters.
"If we see a kid too scared because of the animated monsters, I'll scoop up a big bucket full of candy and carry it out to them," he said. "I just don't want them to miss out. Too many people have forgotten what fun is. And this is fun."

Pyramids? Haunted angels? These are 6 of Iowa's oddest graveyards to visit before you die.
A couple of days after feeding his trick-or-treaters, Highland reported having hundreds more visitors than ever before.
"I ran out of candy about 9 p.m., but people just kept coming and coming to enjoy the displays," Highland said. His favorite moment of the night was when parents of a young man with cerebral palsy brought their son to enjoy the decorations.
"He just loves to watch the characters move and light up," Highland said.
When he's not working on his Halloween passion, he drives a truck for Papa John's Pizza, covering Iowa and surrounding states.
Highland said the yard display takes him about a month to set up, but only about a day and a half to take down.
It's not only Halloween that Highland loves to celebrate. As a Navy veteran, he also goes all out for Memorial Day with an expansive yard display.
"It's not as big as Halloween, but it still gets a lot of attention," he said.

When Will Meta Facebook Be Released
There has been a lot of speculation on when Facebook will release their new "meta" platform, which will allow users to control their Facebook data in new ways. A few weeks ago, there was a report that the beta version of the platform would be released in late March. However, it now appears that the release may be delayed.
According to some reports, the delay may be due to some final tweaks that Facebook is making to the platform. In addition, the company is said to be working on new ways to market the platform to users.
It's not clear exactly what the final release date for Meta Facebook will be, but it's likely that the platform will be released sometime in the next few months. In the meantime, Facebook is said to be inviting a limited number of users to test the beta version of the platform.

Is Facebook going to be Meta now?
In March, Facebook announced that it was testing a new feature called "Masks" in its Facebook Live app. This feature allows users to superimpose animated masks over their faces in real time. The masks are based on popular characters from movies, TV shows, and video games.
At first, many people assumed that Masks was just a gimmick – a fun way to add a bit of excitement to Facebook Live videos. But a few experts have suggested that Masks could be a sign that Facebook is getting ready to become a meta platform.
What is meta? Meta is a term that is used in a variety of different ways, but it generally refers to something that is beyond or above the ordinary. In the context of social media, meta platforms are those that allow users to create and share content that is not just about themselves, but also about the platform itself.
For example, Twitter is a meta platform because users can share tweets that are not just about what they are doing or what they are thinking, but also about the Twitter platform itself. Similarly, YouTube is a meta platform because users can share videos that are not just about their lives or their thoughts, but also about the YouTube platform itself.

So why is Facebook getting ready to become a meta platform? One reason is that Masks allows users to share videos that are not just about themselves, but also about the masks that they are wearing. In other words, Masks provides a way for users to create and share content that is about the Facebook platform itself.
This is a significant development, because up until now, Facebook has been mainly a platform for sharing personal content. But with Masks, Facebook is starting to become a platform for sharing content that is about the platform itself.
This shift towards meta content could be a sign that Facebook is starting to realize the potential of its platform. Facebook is a huge platform with over 1.65 billion active users, and it has the potential to be much more than just a platform for sharing personal content.
Masks is still in its early stages, and it is not yet clear how popular it will become. But if Masks does gain mainstream popularity, it could be the beginning of a new era for Facebook. Meta platforms are often more successful than traditional platforms, and Facebook has the potential to be a major player in the meta space.
Is Meta launched yet?
This is a question that is being asked more and more lately, as people are getting more and more curious about the project.
Meta is a project that is designed to allow users to create their own tokens, as well as to manage and trade them.
The project is still in development, and is not yet launched. However, there is a lot of anticipation for it, as it has the potential to revolutionize the way that tokens are traded.
When it is launched, Meta will be one of the most comprehensive platforms for trading tokens. It will allow users to not only trade tokens, but also to create and manage them.

This will make it possible for people to create tokens that are specific to their needs, and to trade them in a much more efficient way.
The Meta team is working hard to make sure that the platform is as user-friendly as possible, and that it offers a wide range of features.
Once it is launched, Meta is likely to become one of the most popular platforms for trading tokens. It will make it possible for people to trade tokens in a much more efficient way, and it will also make it possible for people to create tokens that are specific to their needs.
When did Facebook release Meta?
On October 2, 2018, Facebook released Meta, a tool that allows Page administrators to view and analyze their Facebook Pages' data.
Meta provides insights into metrics such as page likes, posts, engagement, and demographics. It also allows administrators to compare their Pages' data with that of their competitors.
Meta is available as a free download on the Facebook for Developers website.
Is Meta finished?
This is a question that has been asked many times in the crypto community, and the answer is not clear.
Meta is a decentralized network that allows users to share their data and ideas. It is based on the blockchain technology, and it allows users to store and share data securely.
The goal of Meta is to create a decentralized platform that allows users to share their data and ideas securely. However, there are some doubts about whether this goal has been achieved.
Critics say that Meta has not been able to attract a large user base, and that its development has been stalled. They also say that the platform is not user-friendly, and that it is difficult to use.
Supporters of Meta say that the platform is still in its early stages, and that it has the potential to become a major player in the crypto world. They also say that the platform is user-friendly, and that it has the potential to change the way we share data and ideas.

So, is Meta finished?
That is a difficult question to answer. Meta has certainly faced some challenges in its short history, but it has also shown some potential.
Only time will tell whether Meta is destined to succeed or fail. For now, it is too early to say for certain.
Is Meta available now?
Yes, Meta is available now. It is a platform that allows you to search and browse the web for information on cryptocurrency tokens and projects. Meta also allows you to compare cryptocurrency tokens and projects.
Why is FB called Meta?
What is the meaning of the word "meta"? The word meta is derived from the Greek word "metá", which means "beyond". In linguistics, "meta" is used to describe a level of analysis that goes beyond the sentence or phrase that is being studied. For example, a linguist might analyze the syntax of a sentence, but a meta-linguist would analyze the syntax of the syntax of a sentence.
In the context of digital media, "meta" is used to describe content that refers to itself. For example, a blog post about blogging would be considered meta. Similarly, a Facebook post about Facebook would be considered meta.
Why is Facebook called meta?
Facebook is called meta because it's a website about websites. It's a platform for discussing and sharing news and information about the online world. Facebook is also a platform for sharing information about Facebook itself. Posts about Facebook are often called "meta" because they are about the act of using Facebook.
How do I join Facebook metaverse?
Facebook Metaverse is a virtual world that lets you chat with your Facebook friends and explore new worlds. To join Facebook Metaverse, you need to have a Facebook account. Once you have a Facebook account, you can join Facebook Metaverse by clicking here.
Once you have joined Facebook Metaverse, you will be able to chat with your Facebook friends in a virtual world and explore new worlds. You can also use Facebook Metaverse to connect with people who share your interests.


You can deploy PHP, as an ecosystem, in a myriad of settings. As the demands for web application performance and scalability have increased over time, so have the way in which PHP code is invoked, interpreted and handled. This evolution of configuration optimizations allows for greater scale, security, and durability. If you are uncertain about how your environment is setup, it may be time to audit your environment and reconsider old architectural decisions. Optimizing your PHP application for speed and reliability extends beyond just your code; taking advantage of the latest technology in PHP handling may solve many of your pain points that you might have been oblivious to subsisting. We'll explore the various ways in which PHP can be configured to work with your web server and compare these runtimes from a performance and scalability perspective.
Load that page up in your browser and look for the Server API entry block.
mod_cgi is a common option even to this day, mainly in shared hosting environments or (extremely) legacy applications that haven't upgraded in almost a decade. It is old, outdated, and recommended never to use in any modern PHP environment.
Running PHP code using this method creates a new CGI process outside of the Apache process causing the PHP interpreter to load (and configs read) upon every request. This approach is not necessarily the most efficient nor effective. Arguably, this method is more secure: using suEXEC mod_cgi can keep the execution of PHP code outside of the scope of Apache meaning that faulty or malicious code cannot go outside of the scope of interpretation. This method is popular for shared hosting environments under the same PHP interpreter roof.
Unfortunately, the bad outweighs the good with this method; because of its inefficient, poor performance, and heavy taxation on server resources, it quickly fell out of preference for serious PHP developers. It also does not support PHP Opcode Cache methods, which clearly rules it out for serious high-traffic environments.
Similar to CGI, suPHP (Single User PHP) is an Apache module. You have the advantage of seeing which user is running which process and taxing the CPU. However, similar to CGI, this is inefficient and as your traffic begins to increase you will very quickly push your server to its limits. The benefit of suPHP is essentially the security and is a popular option for hosting multiple PHP applications on a single server because your PHP scripts run as the owning user. Thus, if your application provides an upload form, the uploaded files will be owned by the same owner of the PHP script itself with the necessary permissions intact. This also guarantees no PHP script execution by any user other than the owner.
With suPHP, you will run PHP as a separate process for each request and quickly max out your resources as your traffic begins to spike. Similar to CGI, mod_suphp quickly fell out of favor for high-traffic scenarios. Unfortunately, suPHP soon fell from popularity as it also provided no support for Opcode Cache. Also, considering its last release was in 2013, it might be safe to assume this project no longer supported.
Considered the de facto standard of PHP handlers, mod_php quickly rose to popularity for its speed and scale. You may probably already have mod_php installed; your phpinfo() dump will show Apache 2.0 Handler under the Server API block.
The DSO handler is perhaps one of the oldest and fastest handlers available. The mod_php module integrates PHP as a part of the Apache process itself allowing Apache to interpret the PHP code. Thus, you do not spawn a new PHP process per request, and your overhead is low as PHP preloads as an Apache child process.
One of the greatest advantages of mod_php is that you can now leverage an Opcode cache (e.g. APC), which in turn, will speed up your average response time in extremely significant orders of magnitude. Speaking of APC, if you have not already checked it out, I have another post in which I briefly cover Opcode Cache, and my colleague Rob Bolton has an excellent article covering it in depth.
A disadvantage to mod_php is that all your PHP application files will be owned and executed by the Apache user. This will cause some loss in visibility into which specific users may be impacting server resources. I do not think for the modern PHP application this is a serious issue; you are probably not running multiple websites on a single server but rather powering one giant PHP application across a farm of servers.
FastCGI is what its name implies: a fast PHP implementation handler as a CGI module built with performance in mind. FastCGI will not limit you to only one web server (unlike mod_php) and reduces CPU overhead by keeping PHP scripts in memory and not having to invoke a new PHP process on each request. Security is also tight as you have the benefit of executing PHP scripts as the owning user and not as the Apache user.
A major disadvantage to FastCGI is that it is taxing on your memory consumption (although less so than mod_php). By keeping your PHP scripts in memory, you may find that your RAM usage on your server begins to spike. This is a common symptom with in-memory cache mechanisms, including APC and Memcached. However, you'll need to find the right tradeoff because keeping data in memory also means lowered CPU usage and faster access to that data, thus reducing the overall response time of your requests.
FastCGI is a good modern alternative to suPHP if security is your primary concern within a shared environment without sacrificing speed.
While technically not a handler per se, php-fpm is coupled with FastCGI for more efficient process management and can used on any server that is also compatible with FastCGI. FPM (FastCGI Process Manager) is a fitting replacement for those of you who may have had experience with spawn-fcgi to handle worker FastCGI processes. FPM manages the FastCGI SAPI, which is the Server API (the interface between PHP and Apache). As a side note, for command line execution, PHP-CLI is the SAPI for PHP.
FPM also supports opcode cache and allows for sharing your APC cache among all php-fpm workers. The additional features that php-fpm provides enables high-traffic PHP environments to begin to scale at levels never before imagined. These types of technical advantages allowed for more scale, better utilization of hardware and OS resources, smarter process management, and more concurrency and throughput. PHP applications are also able to scale across multiple servers better. As of PHP 5.3.3, FPM now ships with PHP.
We've been talking a lot about handlers, but to reach an optimal environment you need to combine it with the right web server for the level of scale you are trying to achieve with your PHP application. The two most popular web servers for PHP applications are Apache and Nginx. While each server operates under their unique technology and has their strengths and weaknesses, Nginx + php-fpm has become a clear contender in the fight for speed and scale.
Being the most common web server in the world, Apache also has its limitations. As user traffic comes in, Apache will spawn a new worker process per request. Both prefork and MPM mode create new processes per client connection, although worker mode can handle more requests while it serves more than one connection per process. Nevertheless, as your traffic begins to increase you'll notice your memory begin to exhaust as connections utilize RAM and compete for CPU. You'll find yourself easily maxing out your connection pool if you run a heavy-traffic environment. You can configure Apache to optimize the number of maximum processes and concurrent connections given your hardware resources, but you'll still find processes competing, and as traffic increases so do your need to scale.
Nginx contains an event-driven, non-blocking, and asynchronous architectural model. If Node.js has taught us anything, this design creates the perfect environment conducive to serving multiple requests at the same time. Because it is non-blocking, it can continue to serve additional events (user connections) without having to wait, and because it is asynchronous, it can handle multiple concurrent users at the same time. The beauty of this model has quickly proven Nginx to be the leading contender for handling massive amounts of traffic under the same server setup. With Nginx, you can even cluster your processes to spawn an additional process per core on your machine, thus increasing your ability to handle more requests per server.
Clearly, you have options. Regardless of whether your primary concern is security or speed, you'll need to consider your architecture deeply before going down the path of building an ecosystem in which to deploy your PHP application. Take into consideration not only your immediate needs but also your future needs in order to remain scalable as your application grows in size and traffic.
In high traffic environments, coupling the event-driven architectural model of Nginx with php-fpm, you'll be running PHP optimized to handle massive amounts of traffic. There are, of course, further methods of optimizing the code itself to decrease your average response time, but from a hosting perspective you'll be rest-assured in flying-high with Nginx and php-fpm under your belt.

In a season that was alternately funny, suspenseful and sad, Jimmy McGill slips back into a life of crime and edges ever closer to becoming the Saul Goodman we know from "Breaking Bad." Though the pacing can be frustratingly glacial, overall, "Better Call Saul" is one of the most thoughtful -- and at times heartbreaking -- series on TV.
The reboot of "Queer Eye" is a balm for the soul in our difficult times. When the news of the day is just a little too much, this makeover show in which five gay men swoop into someone's life and change it for the better, is just what you need. Sincere, sweet and often deeply moving, "Queer Eye" is doing good work not only for the lucky people whose lives are made over, but for viewers as well.
Haunting and at times terrifying, the limited series based on Gillian Flynn's novel was a fascinating look at trauma, abuse and female anger. The primary cast gave stunning performances: Amy Adams was a surprising but effective choice as the tormented Camille, Patricia Clarkson was absolutely devastating as her dangerous mother, and Eliza Scanlan in her breakthrough role as Amma will not be forgotten any time soon.

Q: Connect apiary.io REST API v1+ in Google Data Studio I need to connect apiary.io REST API v1+ to Google Data Studio.
As I checked, I need to develop a connector with JavaScript in Google Apps Script, as I checked in these tutorials Connect and visualize all your data in Data Studio and External APIs .
In this step by step software manufacturer, piperun REST API v1+. There are several code snippets, but I can not make them work in GDS.
Unfortunately I do not have much experience with JavaScript, my main skill is with T-SQL, but I could make the successful connections in Microsoft PowerBI. But I was able to make the connections successfully in Microsoft PowerBI by inserting the URLs and the TOKENSof access, having the return code 200.
function teste() {

  var url = 'https://api.pipe.run/v1/activities';

  var request = UrlFetchApp;

  request.fetch(url);

  request.onreadystatechange = function () {
  if (this.readyState === 4) {
      console.log('Status:', this.status);
      console.log('Headers:', this.getAllResponseHeaders());
      console.log('Body:', this.responseText);
    }
  };

  request.send();

  var request = new XMLHttpRequest();

  request.open('GET', 'https://api.pipe.run/v1/activities/activity_id');

               request.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
  request.setRequestHeader('Token', 'Q3VydGl1IGVzc2Ugam9iPyEgdHJhYmFsaGVjb25vc2NvQHBpcGUucnVu'); // Here I add TOKEN supplied internally by the application

  request.onreadystatechange = function () {
    if (this.readyState === 4) {
      console.log('Status:', this.status);
      console.log('Headers:', this.getAllResponseHeaders());
      console.log('Body:', this.responseText);
    }
  };

  request.send();
}

And even if you enter a valid TOKEN, the error occurs:

Failed to request https://api.pipe.run/v1/activities returned code 401. Truncated server response: {"success": false, "message": "Unauthorized"} (use the muteHttpExceptions option to examine the complete answer) (line 8, file "Code")

So I would like help finding out if there is another easy way or what I need to learn to be able to establish a connection to apiary.io REST API v1+.

A: With the help of a friend developer, we solve with the following solution:
   function myFunction() {

Sociology of Shiʿite Islam is a comprehensive study of the development of Shiʿism. Its bearers first emerged as a sectarian elite, then a hierocracy and finally a theocracy. Imamate, Occultation and the theodicy of martyrdom are identified as the main components of the Shiʻism as a world religion. In these collected essays Arjomand has persistenly developed a Weberian theoretical framework for the analysis of Shiʿism, from its sectarian formation in the eighth century through the establishment of the Safavid empire in the sixteenth century, to the Islamic revolution in Iran in the twentieth century. These studies highlight revolutionary impulses embedded in the belief in the advent of the hidden Imam, and the impact of Shiʻite political ethics on the authority structure of pre-modern Iran and the constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The accelerator at the heart of CERN, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland, is back in operation after a two-year tune-up. In this time, hundreds of engineers and technicians have changed the LHC infrastructure to create higher-energy particle collisions.
The LHC begins its second season with almost double its previous operational energy. Beams inside the 27 kilometre ring of the LHC will also produce more collisions because of an increase in proton bunching and a reduction in the time between bunches.
The new set-up will test the standard model of particle physics and will begin to explore unknown territory surrounding the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism, dark matter, antimatter and quark–gluon plasma.
Don't forget the CERN education website hosts many more activities that you can use with your students.

EMBL's European Learning Laboratory for the Life Sciences (ELLS) inaugurated its 2015 series of workshops for European teachers with a LearningLAB on protein structure and X-ray crystallography.
The programme was a mix of hands-on modules and scientific presentations on structural biology. The visiting teachers learned how to grow crystals from lysozyme – a protein found in egg white – and how to replicate this experiment in the classroom using an experimental kit. First-hand insights into structural biology research were provided by scientists from the 'FluPharm' project, who discussed the path to their recent discovery of the 3D structure of the flu virus polymerase and the practical applications that are linked to this major scientific achievement. The workshop also included a visit to the protein-expression and high-throughput crystallisation facilities at EMBL Grenoble, and the X-ray beamlines operated by EMBL at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF).
More LearningLABs will be organised in 2015, starting with one in Greece on DNA and genetic technology and how to experiment with both topics in the classroom, organised in collaboration with the National Center for Scientific Research 'Demokritos' and Vasiliki Kioupi, who was portrayed in issue 30.

A new classroom resource from ESA links art, science and technology. 'Pixel your space' is a teacher's guide from the 'Teach with Rosetta' programme. The resource, for children aged 8 to 11, explores what pixels are and how their number affects image quality.
Digital imaging is now a cornerstone in many research disciplines. In space exploration, telescopes and probes carry onboard cameras with huge number of pixels – 1.5 billion in Gaia, the largest digital camera ever to be flown in space, which was launched in 2013 to screen the Milky Way galaxy with unprecedented detail. Your students can now investigate the basic imaging principle behind this camera.
A variety of hands-on activities, mostly manual and a few computer-based, are included in the resource. Pupils are encouraged to create their own pixel artwork, learning about techniques used in Aboriginal art and by the urban artist Invader.
Don't miss the chance to teach pixels and image processing. Download the materials here.

New observations by researchers from ESO and the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy in Bonn, Germany, have finally identified a star first observed with the naked eye from Earth in the 17th century.
The phenomenon has represented an intriguing mystery for centuries. More than 300 years ago, astronomers described in detail the oddness of a new celestial body that disappeared and reappeared twice before finally vanishing. In the 20th century, astronomers first thought the phenomenon was the death of a star in an explosion, but subsequent studies rejected this possibility.
Probing the area with sub-millimetre and radio wavelength telescopes located in Chile, Hawaii and Germany, scientists have now uncovered what happened – a spectacular collision of two stars. This rare stellar explosion, called a red transient, spews material from the stellar interiors into space, eventually leaving behind only a faint remnant embedded in a cool environment, rich in molecules and dust. Exactly the profile of Nova Vul 1670.

Using samples from Earth, researchers from the Institute of Mineralogy, Materials Physics and Cosmochemistry in Paris, France, have recently gained new insight into the seismic behaviour, inner structure and composition of the Moon. Scientists applied the same pressure (19 Gpa) and temperature (1150 K) present inside of the Moon to a piece of iron. This is the main component of the core of telluric bodies such as Earth, Mars and the Moon. In this way, scientists were able to describe the speed of seismic waves across the metal for the first time, as well as its structure and density, under lunar conditions.
The information provides a reference model to help understand the seismic data obtained on the Moon during the Apollo space programme. It will also be used to interpret the data that will be gathered on Mars during the NASA Discovery Program mission 'Insight' to be launched in March 2016.

EUROfusion has profoundly enhanced its training and education programme for specialists and the interested public.
Research on how to harvest the energy source of the Sun is a long-term project. Therefore it is vital to the programme's progress that knowledge is transferred from one generation of researchers and engineers to the next.
Each year EUROfusion offers grants to approximately 30 postdoctoral researchers, engineers and technicians. The research topics are carefully designed to benefit both the successful applicants and the European fusion programme.
But there is more to explore from the comfort of your home! In April one of the signatories to the EUROfusion agreement, EPFL in Switzerland, released its first massive open online course (MOOC) on plasma physics and its applications, including fusion energy, astrophysical and space plasmas, and societal and industrial applications.

The Femtosecond X-Ray Experiments (FXE) instrument at the European XFEL will act as a microscope that can watch ultrafast processes such as the formation or break-up of chemical bonds at the molecular and atomic levels. Snapshots of such fast processes demand a high-tech detector. Such a detector was developed at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, UK, and has now been successfully tested for the first time in various X-ray sources (synchrotron and free-electron lasers) around the world.
First, the detector has to deliver razor-sharp images while keeping up with the high repetition rate of the European XFEL. The detector must be able to capture a few thousand pictures per second and be able to yield precise results in an extremely wide range of intensities. The tests showed the detector, called the Large Pixel Detector (LPD), could even measure a single photon, a particle of light.
The European X-ray Free Electron Laser (European XFEL) is a research facility currently under construction in the Hamburg area in Germany. Its extremely intense X-ray flashes will be used by researchers from all over the world. Learn more.

A new study carried out at ILL has determined the most accurate microstructure ever obtained of human tooth enamel. The research aims to provide greater insight into the chemistry behind tooth enamel demineralisation caused by our bad eating habits.
The most common treatment for dental erosion is fluoride remineralisation therapy. However, excessive use of fluoride can result in lesions that attack the enamel, so alternative treatments continue to be investigated. The neutron techniques used at ILL represent a tool of choice for studying biological materials containing hydrogen such as calcium hydroxyapatite, which is the main constituent of human tooth enamel.
The research team was able to identify, for the first time, the location of critical hydrogen atoms within the enamel, work which will be extremely useful for their future analysis of Biodentine, a new material that could be used as a cement to encourage dental regrowth.
ILL is an international research centre at the leading edge of neutron science and technology, based in Grenoble, France. Learn more.

PS Igali Meets With Heads Of Federal Establishments In Bayelsa State
November 30, 2013 || By: Nico
The Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Power, Ambassador (Dr.) Godknows Boladei Igali, held an interactive session with Heads and officers of Federal Establishments in Bayelsa State at Ayalla Hotels in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital, as a means of bringing home the developments, achievements and dividends of the Transformation Agenda, as well as relating with them to know their challenges.
Speaking at the occasion, Ambassador Igali commended the strong presence of federal establishments and agencies in the state, disclosing that President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, through the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji, had directed all Federal Permanent Secretaries to visit their home states and hold interactive sessions with federal civil servants in their states.
The PS, who is an indigene and former Secretary to the State Government of Bayelsa State, noted that his visit aimed, among other things, to factor the civil servants into the Transformation Agenda of Mr. President, adding that the agenda has made provisions for civil servants.
He enumerated the achievements of the President Jonathan Administration to include Cultural Revolution, where culture can now be used to generate revenue and as an instrument of national integration and development, as against crude oil being the only source of revenue generation.
According to him, the power sector has recorded tremendous achievements and the pension scheme is now stable as civil servants can now retire and collect their pensions with ease, adding that pension administration has been moved from the Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation and that it is now a directorate of its own.
He also explained that Federal civil servants can now access federal housing loans, a scheme designed to make every civil servant a proud owner of a house in any part of the country where he works or chooses.
Dr. Igali also encouraged Federal Civil Servants in the state to always put in their best, assuring that the President is committed to bringing back the civil service to its past honourable and prestigious position, as well as improving their welfare to enable them earn good and decent living anywhere they find themselves in their call to service for national development.
Earlier in his welcome address, the Chairman of Federal Establishments Association in Bayelsa State, Chief Benedict Gwembe, appealed to Mr. President to hasten the construction of the Federal Secretariat in the state to effectively accommodate the federal agencies, noting that the Agencies are scattered all over the city with poor office accommodation and facilities, most of them paying exorbitant rents for very small office spaces.
The South-South Zonal Coordinator of National Institute for Cultural Orientation (NICO), Mr. James Imohiosen, who is the Chairman, Committee on Sensitization in the umbrella Association, used the opportunity to inform the Perm. Sec. and representatives of Federal Establishments and other guests at the event about the ongoing NICO Weekend Nigerian Indigenous Languages Programme, charging civil servants to take advantage of the programme to acquire new knowledge as well as speak another language other than their own as this will enhance their interaction with people in their new locations as well as facilitate their communication and service delivery.
Dignitaries at the event included some Directors from the Federal Ministry of Power: Mrs. G. P. Papka (Human Resources Management), Mr. Nuhu Sanda (Planning, Research & Statistics), Mr. A. Fetugu (Finance & Accounts); the MD/CEO Afam Power PLC, Engr. Leo Ofurum, and the Director, Leadership, Training and Re-training, Office of the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Dr. Famous Eseduwo.
