Column: Bowden was always coaching us (and not just football)
Written by Jerry Kutz	in Football

The inevitable but still dreaded news came today. "Former Florida State head football coach Bobby Bowden passed away at 5:08 a.m. today (Sunday, August 8) at home surrounded by his wife, Ann, and all six of their children."
The outpouring of thoughts of former players Sunday made this the most difficult assignment I've had as a reporter, tougher than any tearful locker room after a loss to an archrival. And yet this assignment was also the most joyous.
Osceola editor Bob Ferrante asked me to write about my experiences with Coach Bowden as publisher of the Osceola, since it's founding in 1982, so here are my thoughts and the thoughts of a few of the many people impacted by him.
Like many of you, I admire Bobby Bowden as a football coach and as a man very much. But I have to admit, I had my doubts when he was named as our football coach in 1976. I had just finished college when FSU named the folksy Bowden, and this Miami-raised boy found him a tad "too country," as if that's possible in Tallahassee, Fla. As a Catholic school boy, I also wondered about the sincerity of his open expression of his Baptist faith, something I would soon learn was the fabric of his being and the subject of this story.
Back in the late 1970s I saw FSU's new football coach was scheduled to be the guest speaker at an Easter Sunrise Service. Of all places, it was to be held at Sea World in the Shamu theatre. Rather than going to Mass, my wife and I made the pre-dawn drive to hear his message, which he delivered from an altar erected over the whale's tank.
His message was about football and life; not an unexpected subject from a football coach. The Easter message was profound, the delivery Bowdenesque, but it was the reaction of the crowd – me included – that was a preview of things to come at Florida State.
A few years after we started Osceola, I receive a phone call from Bobby's long-time assistant Sue Hall, who has continued to serve Bobby and Ann since. They wanted to invite me to observe, but not write about, a team meeting Bowden had arranged with his friend Billy Graham, who was on Crusade in Tallahassee. I have an idea Sue and or Bobby thought I needed saving and God knows they were right.
Bowden introduced Graham as a historic figure, a man who had counseled numerous presidents and was invited to Moscow during the Cold War. Graham didn't give a speech. He simply took and answered the players' questions, which were far-reaching.
The meeting and Graham's simple responses to complex questions spoke to me that day.
I had the opportunity to hear Bowden speak thousands of times — at press conferences, at Monday luncheons, on the Seminole Booster Tour stops and at numerous churches. If Bowden was anything, he was sincere and funny. If the guy hadn't been a football coach, he could have made a living in stand-up comedy. But that's a story I promise for a more appropriate day.
As bright as his faith was at the pulpit, his light shined every day when he walked from behind the pulpit and into life. You've witnessed his walk, how he served others ahead of himself. How he walked the walk better than any man I have known. Countless are the hours he spent with the media that other coaches wouldn't take. Countless are the times he'd stop to sign an autograph or share a few kind words with someone who couldn't possibly be of help to him.
While Bowden and many of the players quoted in this story are Christians, it was Bobby's walk that spokes volumes to people of all faiths. Whether you were Baptist, Catholic, Jewish, or any other faith, the way he lived his life was a universal language to us all.
When recruiting a player he made a promise to their parents that he would take the player to their church, not his, and encourage the player to participate in the family's traditional faith.
Bowden would open his staff meetings with a devotional. The responsibility rotated around the conference table. You were free to present inspiration from your faith or if you were not comfortable talking about faith, you could offer up another motivational or inspirational message. Sometimes, a staff member would simply share something happening in their life, a marital issue or celebration, they wanted to talk about.
Those "devotionals" or "sharings" were the glue that bound a staff into a family.
"Coach Bowden had more influence on me than any other man except my father," said former defensive ends coach Jim Gladden. "You learn more from him by watching him. He was the kindest man I have ever met and the most considerate. That's not to say he wasn't tough because he was a strict disciplinarian and very structured but he was also a person who would frequently ask, 'Have you called your mother today? You know you only have one.' He built a family atmosphere."
The phone rang early this morning. It was former FSU running back Sammie Smith, who was the beneficiary of Bowden's walk long after his playing days were over and when Smith needed it most.
"To hear the news this morning, I was selfishly sad," Smith said. "I was saddened of course that he is gone but selfishly I was saddened that I didn't get to hold his hand one last time, to sit with him and pray with him and tell him once again how much I love him and how influential and impactful he has been in my life. But at the same time I had a sense of joy because I know where he is at. He is resting with our Lord and Savior right now. I know that. I believe that he is in a much better place. He is not suffering. He is good. It is well. I take joy in that."
You cannot talk about Bobby Bowden without the words faith, family and football. Those were his priorities, in that order, and are reflected in the comments shared by the people who knew him the best.
"Very emotional reaction to the news despite the certainty that it is was coming. I was very blessed to have worked with him. His priorities were always very much in line. He will no doubt rest in peace and he will be dearly missed," said former FSU Athletic Director Dave Hart. "Our hearts go out to Ann and the Bowden Family as well as the entire Seminole family. He was one of a kind. We will cherish the memories that drove that fact home."
Hart's condolences to the "entire Seminole family" are uniquely true. In a conversation with the former Alabama and Tennessee athletic director last week, he made the comment that Bobby Bowden shaped the collective culture of our university more than any football coach ever has at any school he could name. I noted that prior to Bowden's final season (2009), former Seminole Booster Executive Director Charlie Barnes wrote that more than 70 percent of all FSU alumni attended Florida State University during the 31 years Bobby Bowden served as its head coach.
I know Bobby's football mentor, Bear Bryant, was beloved by Bama fans but I'm not sure even he touched as many fans as profoundly as did Bowden, who was so incredibly accessible and giving of his time and emotion.
Current FSU Athletic Director David Coburn also brought up the "generations of Florida State fans and alumni" in his tribute to Bowden. "He leaves a legacy at FSU and in college football that will be remembered forever."
Seminole Booster CEO and President Michael Alford met Bobby Bowden numerous times over the years but had no idea of his impact on the university until he arrived on campus.
"I knew he was a special person from afar but I did not realize the impact his core values had on this university until I arrived," said Alford. "Those core values, his core values, are central to who we became as a university and are the core values of decisions still being made today."
"Coach Bowden was a blessing to every person he came in contact with because of his heart to be like Jesus Christ," said former quarterback Charlie Ward. "He wasn't shy about sharing his faith with others no matter the backlash from people. Being at a state university and sharing your faith openly to your players and coaches is not normal but he knew that was the right thing to do and I appreciate it."
Charlie's quarterback coach, Mark Richt, who rose from graduate assistant to offensive coordinator for Bowden put it simply: "Coach Bowden had a profound impact on my eternal destiny."
The impact Richt is referring to occurred the day after offensive tackle Pablo Lopez was shot and died.
Bowden called the team together to discuss Pablo's death. The team took their assigned seats. The coaching staff stood at the back of the room. One chair, Pablo's, was empty.
"Toward the end of his talk, after he presented the Gospel, he said, 'Pablo used to sit in that seat and now he's gone. You guys are 18 to 22 years old. Do you think you're going to live forever? If that was you last night instead of Pablo, do you know where you would spend eternity?' "
Richt knew and he didn't like the destination.
"He was speaking to the players but it affected me in a profound way. I prayed to receive Christ the next morning in his office and I'm eternally grateful for him for that."
Former center Mark Salva, who is now an Osceola contributor, was also sitting in that room that day. That and many other days were life changing for Salva and so many other Bowden players, coaches and staff.
"I was fortunate to get to spend 10 years with him as a player and a coach. I can't overstate Coach Bowden's influence on my life," said Salva. "He was the rarest of men: a leader of wisdom, compassion and most of all faith. He viewed his position as a ministry, not a job. As a result, those of us within his sphere of influence were made better. I will miss him."
As Sunday progressed and the phone calls and texts came in, each and every player talked about faith and the impact Bobby Bowden had on their life. Not one spoke of football.
"As a young kid you don't really understand or appreciate what greatness and goodness truly are," said former quarterback Casey Weldon. "To be a great coach, actually the very best, and such a good person. I realize how rare that is. It was such a privilege and I'm honored to have played for him."
Bowden navigated the difficult balance of playing two very good quarterbacks, Weldon and Brad Johnson, who enjoyed a 15-year NFL career and a Super Bowl XXXVII win.
"I am so thankful and proud to say Coach Bobby Bowden was my coach!" said Johnson. "Coach Bowden shared his faith with all! He cared about each and every one of us as players on and off the field. He inspired many of us to be great fathers, leaders and coaches in our own communities. He showed class and humility in all that he did."
In talking about Bowden, Sammie Smith echoed Johnson's words.
"Humility grows in us as we get closer to God," said Smith, who is now the Chaplain for the University of Mississippi. "I know he had to be pretty close, as close as any human being can get. I don't know that I have known a more humble individual in my lifetime than Coach Bowden.
"There is a scripture (Phillipians 2: 3-4) that tells us not to do anything out of vain glory or for self enhancement but to consider others always above ourselves. Man, that is Coach Bowden," Smith said.
It is not surprising that our fans, Boosters and former players ask me to compare our new head football coach, Mike Norvell to Bobby Bowden. Comparisons are never fair, nor should they be made swiftly, so let me just say it is apparent Norvell relates to what Bobby stood for. Norvell has told the story about the day Bobby Bowden walked into his office during a staff meeting, surprising his assistants Odell Haggins and Ron Dugans. Their reaction made a profound impact on the 39-year-old head coach about the influence their head coach had on them and inspired him to aspire to be that head coach for his teams.
"Coach Bowden was one of the greatest coaches ever, but more than that he was an incredible man," Norvell said. "He was a special human being who earned an enduring legacy because of his wonderful heart, faith and values he lived. It was the honor of my lifetime to know him and beyond anything I could dream to have a relationship with him. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been impacted by Coach Bowden and particularly with his wife, Ann, their children, grandchildren, former players and coaches. The entire Florida State family is hurting right now at the loss of our program's patriarch."
I'll conclude this piece with a paraphrased talkI heard Bowden give at more than one funeral: "When it comes to dying, let dying be all you have left to do."
His message was simple: Tell people you love them, ask and give forgiveness and get right with your faith.
Bobby Bowden is at peace this Sunday because he had nothing left to do.

FILE - Secretary of State Rex Tillerson speaks at a press briefing during the United Nations General Assembly, Sept. 20, 2017, in New York.
U.S. President Donald Trump appeared to undercut his top diplomat Sunday, saying Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is "wasting his time" trying to negotiate with North Korea's leader.
In a series of tweets the president said: "Save your energy Rex, we'll do what has to be done!"
North Korea has made it clear it considers the "rocket man" moniker for Kim Jong Un, who succeeded his father at the time of Kim Jong Il's death in 2011, to be highly insulting.
Tillerson, in Beijing the previous day, acknowledged the United States has direct diplomatic channels through which to negotiate with Pyongyang about North Korea's continued nuclear and ballistic missile tests.
The secretary of state, however, gave no details about any recent communication with North Korean diplomats.
U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, left, is seen meeting with China's State Councilor Yang Jiechi at the Great Hall of the People, Saturday, Sept. 30, 2017, in Beijing, China.
Trump's Sunday tweets from his New Jersey golf club caused consternation among some veteran American diplomats.
"It's a terrible way to conduct diplomacy," a former acting assistant secretary of state for East Asia, Evans Revere, told VOA. "It raises questions certainly on their part about U.S. seriousness but we're also seeing reactions from the international community that it's raised questions among U.S. partners around the world."
If this is not a pre-scripted good cop/bad cop gambit and "if the president really pulled the rug out from under him, that really undercuts his credibility internationally, and he needs to think very clearly about whether he's prepared to continue working under those circumstances," according to Revere, senior director with the Albright Stonebridge Group.
It is not the first time Trump has contradicted members of his cabinet, including Tillerson.
Moreover, according to scholars of diplomacy, other U.S. presidents have done so specifically on North Korea which also caused confusion. In 2001, Secretary of State Colin Powell said the administration of President George W. Bush would "pick up where President Clinton left off." But the following day, in a joint press conference with the South Korean president, Bush made it clear he planned to take a more skeptical approach to negotiations with Pyongyang.
Considered in this context, Trump's Sunday tweets are "frankly not nearly as damaging," according to Balbina Hwang, a visiting professor at Georgetown University.
"In the past, U.S. negotiations have been less than maximally successful, because we essentially entered them indicating we wanted or needed to reach a diplomatic solution more than the North Koreans," Hwang, a former State Department senior advisor on North Korea, tells VOA. "If we try this again, the only possibility of any progress or success is if we convince both Pyongyang and Beijing that we are serious this time about bearing the ultimate costs of 'really bad options'".
Trump is scheduled to visit China, Japan and South Korea, among other Asian destinations, in November for a trip largely seen at maintaining strong diplomatic pressure on North Korea.
Kim, after previous threats by Trump, issued a rare personal response, calling the U.S. president "a mentally deranged dotard." His foreign minister then suggested Pyongyang might detonate a nuclear weapon over the Pacific Ocean.


Find command is one of the most useful & important command used in Linux. Its available & installed by default on almost all the versions of Linux. Everything on Linux is in the form of files, & we should be able to locate a file when required.
Alternatively, we can also use 'find . ' which will also provide the same result as above.
The result of the command will provide all the files that are named linuxtechi.txt, whether its in lower case or upper case or in mixed cases.
$ find  ~ -type f name ".*"
To list largest or smallest file, we will combine 'sort' command with find command & if we further want to list top three of those largest files, we will combine 'head' command.
These were some simple examples demonstrating the functionality of find command & it can be used to perform tedious, repetitive search/locate task more easy.
That pipe looks like a mistake.
Thanks for identifying the error. It was a typo, i have correct it now.
Thank you for making an awesome list of commands. It's very useful but I don't find anything about grep command? It's amazingly powerful and helpful command in Linux to access file contents.


What happens when a hotel suffers property damage, whether by natural disaster or man-made accident, and is forced to close some or all of its rooms, amenities or services? It is important to understand how insurance can protect you from the resulting financial loss. In addition to potential recovery for property damage from your property/casualty policy, you may be able to recover lost revenue from your business interruption coverage. If your operations are disrupted, whether completely or partially, the language of your policy will determine if, and for how long, your insurance company will cover such loss.
Your insurance should cover income loss not only when operations are completely shuttered, but also when your business is partially suspended. The distinction is important to hotel owners and operators, especially those with amenities or services like restaurants, spas and seasonal activities, which are more likely to operate on a reduced level after a loss. Historically, many business interruption provisions required a "necessary suspension" of operations. These older policies and forms did not define "suspension" or state whether complete shutdown was necessary. To understand the likelihood and extent of business income loss recovery, policyholders should be aware of the actual terms provided under their business interruption coverage and should recognize that there are some differences between jurisdictions in how they approach this issue.
Must There Be a Complete Cessation of Operations?
In New York, if a policy requires a "necessary suspension" of operations, where the term "suspension" is not defined, the courts have held that the policyholder's business must have experienced a "total interruption or cessation" of operations.Broad St., LLC v. Gulf Ins. Co., 37 A.D.3d 126 (N.Y. App. Div. 2006) (after loss on 9/11, building owner could recoup lost business income from insurance but only up to the point that tenants were again allowed to reside in building). The result is similar in California, where courts have held that a "necessary suspension" of operations "connotes a temporary, but complete, cessation of activity."Buxbaum v. AETNA Life & Cas. Co., 126 Cal Rptr. 2d 682, 688 (Cal. Ct. App. 2002) (emphasis added) (law firm did not trigger business interruption coverage because there was no complete cessation of operations when evidence showed that attorneys continued to bill hours following incident of water damage in office building).
Policyholders should therefore note that if "suspension" is not defined in the policy, some jurisdictions have followed a narrow interpretation of coverage — thereby preventing policyholders from recovering income loss where there is only a partial cessation or a slowdown of business.See, e.g., Keetch v. Mutual of Enumclaw Ins. Co., 831 P.2d 784 (Wash Ct. App. 1992) (because motel remained partially open, policyholder could not recover under business interruption coverage despite dramatic decrease in occupancy caused by ash from volcanic eruption).See also Apartment Movers of Am., Inc. v. One Beacon Lloyds of Texas, 170 Fed. Appx. 901 (5th Cir. 2006) (slowdown was not a necessary suspension of operations to trigger coverage for loss of business income). This narrow interpretation of coverage often conflicts with the obligation to mitigate losses that is sometimes imposed on the policyholder by the insurance policy.
Fortunately, some jurisdictions, like Pennsylvania, have taken a more reasonable approach and have not required a complete cessation of operations. In American Med. Imaging Corp. v. St. Paul Fire and Marine Ins. Co., 949 F.2d 690, 693 (3rd Cir. 1991), the court examined a policyholder's claim for business interruption coverage after a fire incident that damaged its headquarter offices. The policyholder was able to resume operations in a temporary location, but at a reduced level due to an interruption in its telephone system. The policyholder, a provider of ultrasound testing services to physicians and health care institutions, depended on the telephone system for orders, scheduling, and preparation of written test reports for existing and new business. The policyholder sought business interruption coverage for the lost earnings and extra expenses caused by the incident and relocation, particularly the disruption of the telephone system. The trial court ruled in favor of the insurance company. On appeal, however, the result was different and the appellate court rejected the insurance company's suggestion that coverage was precluded because the policyholder "would be carrying on the same kind of activities [elsewhere] that occurred at the covered location."Id. at 692.
The appellate court held that under the trial court's decision "the insured would have no motivation to mitigate its losses" as "[c]ontinuing in business at any level would bar recovery because the insured would be carrying on the same kind of activities that occurred at the covered location."Id. at 692. Moreover, the appellate court noted that the policy imposed "an affirmative duty [on the policyholder] to mitigate its losses."Id. at 693. The court ruled that the insurance company's "obligation to indemnify continues until the resumption of 'normal business operations,'" and as such, "the obligation to indemnify can arise while business continues, albeit at a less than normal level."Id. at 693. The case confirms that a policyholder can still recover lost income under its business interruption policy when it operates in a partial or reduced mode.
More recently, iniCue Corp. v. USF&G, Civil No. 07-1871 (E.D. Pa. April 23, 2008), an unpublished case, the federal court in Pennsylvania held that "suspension," as used in the insurance policy, included both partial and total cessations. In that case, the court also allowed lost business income covered by insurance to include the time period when the insurance company delayed making payments to fully restore the policyholder's operations.
In recent years, the insurance market has responded to the need for coverage of a partial cessation or slowdown in business operations. For example, in 1999, the Insurance Service Office (ISO) Business Income (and Extra Expense) Coverage Form (a standard form often used in insurance policies) was updated to add a specific definition of "suspension" as "[t]he slowdown or cessation of your business activities." (ISO Form CP 00 30 10 00). Today, most brokers and insurance companies covering the hospitality industry have access to forms that affirmatively state the policy "shall cover the loss resulting from complete orpartialinterruption of business." (Emphasis added). The use of such updated forms can avoid many of the problems created by court decisions that narrowly interpret the coverage extended under older policy forms.
Policyholders experiencing a partial interruption, such as closure of some but not all rooms, amenities or services, should review the terms of their policies and become familiar with the rules that apply in their jurisdiction. In planning for the future, policyholders should confirm that their policy covers both complete and partial interruptions. If appropriate, policyholders should ensure that they have other beneficial coverage, such as reimbursement for expenses associated with professional services needed to prepare a business interruption claim. Professional services are becoming increasingly necessary to calculate and recover insurance for business interruptions, especially when a policyholder is seeking recovery due to lost patrons or the need to discount rates because amenities or services are unavailable. This consideration can be particularly important for destination hotels where patrons visit with the expectation of using many amenities and services. The policyholder may need to hire a forensic accountant to calculate the amount of business income loss sustained. These costs can be expensive and might be covered under a professional fees or "LOSS ADJUSTMENT EXPENSE" provision. Work with a knowledgeable broker to get the coverage that suits your business.
When claims arise, insurance companies will often look for ways to deny coverage or diminish their exposure to the loss. After charging you premiums based on the entirety of your business operations, these insurance companies should not be so quick to deny coverage to you on the grounds that you merely suffered a slowdown or partial interruption. If your insurance company is not fully cooperating, you should engage the services of an insurance recovery attorney who can assist you in getting the insurance company to honor its obligations under the policy.

Sir James Forrest, 1st Baronet of Comiston FRSE (1780-1860) was a Scottish baronet and Whig politician who served as Lord Provost of Edinburgh 1837–1843. The family crest is three oak trees. Forrest Road in Edinburgh is named in his honour.

Life

He was born in Edinburgh on 16 October 1780 the son of James Forrest WS (1744-1820) a lawyer (son of John Forrest (1704-1778) of Grange House in Edinburgh). His mother was Katharine Forrest, the only daughter of James Forrest of Comiston, cousin to his father. She died when he was two years old, and he inherited the large estate of Comiston House. He attended the high school then studied law at the University of Edinburgh. He was created an advocate in 1803.

He was elected Lord Provost of Edinburgh in 1837, succeeding Sir James Spittal. He was created a baronet in 1838 by Queen Victoria during his period as Lord Provost. In 1842 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

Controversially having served as the Ruling Elder of the Church of Scotland at the Disruption of 1843 he left the established church to join the Free Church of Scotland in the Disruption of 1843. He had previously (1838 to 1840) been Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Freemasons of Scotland.

His home in later life was 18 Manor Place in Edinburgh's West End, a substantial terraced townhouse. He continued to also own the large country mansion of Comiston House.

He died whilst on a visit to Plymouth on 5 April 1860 and was returned to Edinburgh for burial in Greyfriars Kirkyard.

Family
In 1810 he married Charlotte Horsburgh (d.1852).

Their children included Sir John Forrest (1817-1883) 2nd baronet and Sir William Forrest (1823-1894) 3rd baronet. Thomas (b.1815) died young. Daughters included Violet (b.1820) and Catherine (b.1825). His youngest daughter, Elizabeth Charlotte Forrest (b.1827) died in Clifton near Bristol in 1858.

The Correlation between Plasma ICAM-1 Levels and Cardiorespiratory Fitness and Anthropometric Indexes in Middle Age Subjects
Maryam Nourshahi Dr , Saleh Zahedi asl Dr, Mona Sehhat
Shahid Beheshti University , m-nourshahi@sbu.ac.ir
Abstract: (5628 Views)
Introduction: Inter cellular adhesion molecule -1 (ICAM-1) is an important new factor which can predict cardiovascular disease (CVD). Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between plasma concentrations of inter cellular adhesion molecule–1 (ICAM-1) and cardiorespiratory fitness and anthropometric indices as noninvasive methods. Materials and Methods: From all among the male and female university personnel, 127 (72 men and 55 women) healthy and nonsmoker subjects (age: 36.62±5.7 years, VO2max:27.32±6.72 ml/kg.min) were selected using a medical questionnaire. Anticubital veinblood samples were taken in fasting status at rest. VO2max was then evaluated on a treadmill with gas analyzer and measurement of anthropometric factors (BMI, WHR and PBF) were measured in all the subjects in the laboratory. Serum ICAM-1 were measured by ELISA method. In women, controlling for their menstrual cycle, blood sampling was taken in follicular phase (3-8 days after onset of their menstrual period) and VO2max test was performed in 3-9 days (i.e., in the luteal phase). Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation and multinomial regression. Results: The results showed that there were no significant correlations between ICAM-1 and VO2max, BMI, or PBF (P>0.05), wheares there was a signicant positive correlation between WHR and ICAM-1 in middle aged individuals (P=0.01). In addition, because of a strong correlation observed between VO2max and WHR (P=0.00), this factor could be used with WHR for more complete models in predicting the plasma concentration of ICAM-1. Conclusion: Findings showed that visceral fat tissue, compared to other factors, is more effective in predicting ICAM-1 concentrations.
Keywords: Intercellular adhesion molecule – 1, BMI, VO2max, WHR, Body fat percent

It takes a sense of optimism and courage to take the risk to start, expand or operate a business — whether it is a local store, a restaurant, a professional services office or a Fortune 500 company. That optimism and courage is an integral part of the American Dream — where we look at the future with a sense of confidence and belief that we are only limited by our imagination, ingenuity and hard work.
Unfortunately we have seen some of that confidence shaken with a weak economy, costly health care mandates and thousands of new burdensome regulations. And this past week America earned the distinction of being number one in the world — not for innovation or technology — but for having the highest tax on job-creating businesses. It's not a distinction any country should want. In fact, most of our international competitors have been reducing their taxes on businesses.
Americans are the most productive, innovative and hardest-working people in the world. It is not the quality of the American people that is limiting economic growth. With a 35% tax on our job-creating business, the federal government is taxing America out of the competition and the American workers and consumers are paying the price.
As I travel throughout Virginia, I hear from business owners who are worried about whether they can keep their doors open in these tough economic times; whether Washington's increasing tax and regulatory burdens will force them to let employees go or drive them out of business altogether; whether the enterprises they spent a lifetime building will survive to pass on to their children.
The good news is that with one policy change we could send a clear message that America is open for business again. And there are hopeful signs that those in Washington may be willing to put aside their differences to get it done.
Last spring I released my "Blueprint for America's Comeback," where I called for Washington to reduce the tax rate on job-creating businesses to a simpler, lower, fairer tax of 20 percent. The international average is 25 percent; I think America should be better than average. Reducing the U.S. tax rate to 20 percent on job producers would add more than 500,000 private-sector jobs a year — that's more than 5 million new jobs for Americans in the next 10 years. A vibrant economy with more investment and businesses prospering means more jobs and revenue. And, with a territorial system we can eliminate double taxation of American business.
In recent months we have heard many in Washington — Republicans and Democrats in and out of office — discuss various plans to reduce this tax. Some have called for smaller or larger reductions to the rate than what I propose, but we clearly have the building blocks for achieving positive results. I know from experience that leaders from both parties can put aside their differences when there is urgency for action.
When I was elected Virginia's governor, I worked with a Democrat majority legislature to cut taxes, make neighborhoods safer, enact historic welfare reforms, freeze tuition, reduce the size of government, bring accountability for academic performance in schools, build a Rainy Day Fund for the future and foster the environment that saw the creation of more than 300,000 net new private-sector jobs in just four years. I did the same in the Senate — working with my Democrat colleagues to remove and keep taxes off access to the Internet, appropriately increase the death benefits for families of fallen service members, advance nanotechnology and focus on cyber security. There were disagreements along the way but we solved our differences to get positive results for America.
With unemployment stuck above 8 percent for 37 consecutive months — 14.9 percent if you include the underemployed — America's credit rating downgraded for the first time in history and other countries lowering their rates, action is urgently needed. We have the opportunity to reach constructive solutions that will help spur economic growth, thereby creating American jobs.
By reducing this tax, we can unlock the capital sitting on the sidelines, make it more attractive for businesses to invest and create jobs and keep U.S. jobs from moving overseas. Now is the time for leaders of goodwill to come together.

Philippines travel advice
Posted by:	infodesk
Category:	Security, Unrest
More anti-China protests possible in Metro Manila and Cebu City, Philippines through July 13. Heightened security, localized traffic disruptions likely.
The locations affected by this alert are Metro Manila, Cebu City This alert began 07 Jul 2015 06:03 GMT and is scheduled to expire 13 Jul 2015 23:59 GMT.
– Event: Anti-China protests
– Location: Makati City, Metro Manila and Cebu City
– Impact: Heightened security, localized traffic disruptions Summary Additional anti-China protests are possible in the Philippines as a UN tribunal begins proceedings to determine whether it has jurisdiction to hear a legal case filed by Manila contesting Beijing's claims to nearly all of the South China Sea.
The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) in The Hague, Netherlands, will hear oral arguments on the jurisdiction issue July 7-13. Members of leftist group Bayan picketed the Chinese Embassy in Makati City, Metro Manila, July 7. Further protests by Bayan, as well as other activist groups are possible through July 13.
Besides the Chinese Embassy, demonstrations could also occur at the Chinese Consulate located in the World Center Building in Makati City. Smaller rallies are also possible near the Chinese Consulate in Cebu City. Rallies in Metro Manila have varied significantly in participation from a few hundred to several thousand. Police may increase security near Chinese diplomatic missions as a precaution. While violence is unlikely, low-level clashes could occur, especially if police attempt to forcibly disperse any demonstrators. Localized traffic disruptions are possible if additional protests take place.
Background and Analysis
The Philippines has referred its dispute with China over the territorial rights to several shoals in the South China Sea to a UN tribunal. China, however, has refused to participate in the arbitration proceedings, and has said it will not recognize any ruling in Manila's favor.
The July 7-13 hearings assume significance because the Philippines' case against China would end abruptly if the PCA agrees it has no jurisdiction. A decision on the issue of jurisdiction is not expected for another six to 12 months.
Anti-China demonstrations occasionally take place in the Philippines, as negative sentiment continues to rise against Beijing for perceived aggressive actions in the South China Sea, particularly in the Paracel Islands. However, most of these events have remained peaceful.
Use caution if operating near Chinese diplomatic missions in the coming days, as protests could occur without warning. Allow additional time for travel along Buendia Avenue and on nearby streets in Makati City, as well as near the Chinese Consulate in Cebu City.


We have three practice nurses who work with the doctors to provide a wide range of services, which include:- Management of Long Term Conditions, such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure, and Health Promotion, such as cervical smears, child health immunisations, general health checks and advice.
If you require any of these services, please make an appointment with one of the nurses.
For many long term conditions which are well controlled, the doctor will ask you to see the nurse for a follow-up appointment at clinics, which are held regularly. All patients with a long term condition will be invited to attend a clinic for full review of their care at least once a year.
Child Health clinics are held every week on a Tuesday morning, by appointment. Childhood immunisations will be undertaken by one of the practice nurses at these clinics.
A confidential contraceptive advice service is offered by all our doctors and nurses, including advice on contraceptive pills, contraception injections, contraceptive implants and coils and natural family planning. Please make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your contraceptive needs.
If you are planning a pregnancy please make sure you see one of the doctors or nurses for pre-conceptual advice.
Once your pregnancy had been confirmed by a positive test, please make an appointment to see one of the doctors who will discuss your future maternity care and arrange for you to see the midwife, who will work with you to co-ordinate your care. The midwife and GP will organise appointments for you during normal surgery times. Six weeks after your baby has been born you will be seen by a doctor for a postnatal check and at eight weeks both mother and baby will be seen by doctor and nurse.

Clark v. New Century Mortgage Co.
ALFRED CLARK, Plaintiff
NEW CENTURY MORTGAGE COMPANY, et al, Defendants
ORDER GRANTING BARCLAYS' MOTION TO DISMISS AND DENYING ALFRED CLARK'S MOTIONS TO STRIKE AND RECONSIDER AS MOOT [ECF NOS. 8, 17, 26]
ANDREW P. GORDON UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
Pro se plaintiff Alfred Clark sues the defendants for violations of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), fraud, and to quiet title to his property. Clark previously sued these same defendants for FDCPA violations and wrongful foreclosure, but Judge Jennifer Dorsey dismissed his claims. Clark v. New Century Mortg. Co., 2018 WL 1367357 (D. Nev. Mar. 16, 2018). Defendant Barclays Capital Real Estate Inc. moves to dismiss Clark's claims, arguing that Judge Dorsey's order precludes the claims, Clark lacks standing, and Clark's FDCPA claims are untimely. ECF No. 8. Defendants U.S. Bank National Association, Western Progressive - Nevada, Inc., and Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC join the motion and Barclays' reply in support of the motion. ECF Nos. 9, 16. Clark moves to strike the joinder to the reply as untimely and for reconsideration of Magistrate Judge Leen's order staying discovery pending my decision on Barclays' motion. ECF Nos. 17, 26. Because Clark's claims arise out of the same facts alleged in his prior suit, he is precluded from relitigating them. So, I grant the motion to dismiss with prejudice and deny Clark's motions as moot.
In 2006, Clark received a $204, 000 loan from Clarion Mortgage Capital to purchase a property in Las Vegas. Clark, 2018 WL 1367357 at *1.[1] The note was secured by a deed of trust naming Clarion as the beneficiary and First American Title Company as the trustee. Id. Clarion assigned the deed of trust to New Century, which transferred the deed through Barclays under a limited power of attorney to U.S. Bank. Id. at n.4; ECF No. 1 at 16. Clark was notified in 2016 that he had been in default on his payments since 2014. Clark, 2018 WL 1367357 at *1. Clark then filed suit, but voluntarily dismissed his case in April 2017. Id. at *2 n.24. Later that year, Clark sued the defendants again for FDCPA violations and common-law wrongful foreclosure, arguing that an assignment in the chain of title was void. Id. at 1. Judge Dorsey dismissed the wrongful foreclosure claim without prejudice because no foreclosure on Clark's property had taken place. Id. at 2. Judge Dorsey dismissed the FDCPA claim with prejudice because the one-year statute of limitations for his FDCPA claim had expired. Id. Clark then filed this suit in November 2018, asserting FDCPA, fraud, and quiet title causes of action.
II. DISCUSSION
In considering a motion to dismiss, "all well-pleaded allegations of material fact are taken as true and construed in a light most favorable to the non-moving party." Wyler Summit P'ship v. Turner Broad. Sys., Inc., 135 F.3d 658, 661 (9th Cir. 1998). However, I do not assume the truth of legal conclusions merely because they are cast in the form of factual allegations. See Clegg v. Cult Awareness Network, 18 F.3d 752, 754-55 (9th Cir. 1994). A plaintiff must make sufficient factual allegations to establish a plausible entitlement to relief. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 556 (2007). Such allegations must amount to "more than labels and conclusions, [or] a formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action." Id. at 555.
Barclays argues that Clark's claims are precluded by Judge Dorsey's order dismissing his complaint. Clark responds that Judge Dorsey dismissed his claims because they were unripe, so her order does not have preclusive effect. Clark also argues that a new notice of default recorded after Judge Dorsey's order also violates the FDCPA, so the claim arising from that violation cannot be barred by Judge Dorsey's order.
The doctrine of claim preclusion bars "successive litigation of the very same claim, whether or not relitigation of the claim raises the same issues as the earlier suit." Taylor v. Sturgell, 553 U.S. 880, 892 (2008) (citation and quotation omitted). The preclusive effect of a judgment in a federal-question case is determined by federal common law. Id. at 891. Clark's case before Judge Dorsey involved questions of federal law and was before the court on federal question jurisdiction, so federal common law applies here. Clark, 2018 WL 1367357 at *1. (claim under FDCPA). Under federal common law, claim preclusion applies when there is: "(1) an identity of claims; (2) a final judgment on the merits; and (3) identity or privity between parties." Stewart v. U.S. Bancorp, 297 F.3d 953, 956 (9th Cir. 2002).
A. Identity of Claims
The identity of claims depends on: (1) "whether rights or interests established in the prior judgment would be destroyed or impaired by prosecution of the second action"; (2) "whether substantially the same evidence is presented in the two actions"; (3) "whether the two suits involve infringement of the same right"; and (4) "whether the two suits arise out of the same transactional nucleus of facts." Costantini v. Trans World Airlines, 681 F.2d 1199, 1201-02 (9th Cir. 1982). "The last of these criteria is the most important." Id.
"The fact that res judicata depends on an 'identity of claims' does not mean that an imaginative attorney may avoid preclusion by attaching a different legal label to an issue that has, or could have, been litigated." Tahoe-Sierra Pres. Council, Inc. v. Tahoe Reg'l Planning Agency, 322 F.3d 1064, 1077-78 (9th Cir. 2003). "Newly articulated claims based on the same nucleus of facts may still be subject to [claim preclusion] if the claims could have been brought in the earlier action." Id. at 1078.
Clark alleges in both complaints that, in support of their foreclosure, the defendants improperly rely on "Corporation Assignment, document number 20090313-0004015" (the assignment of the deed of trust from New Century, through Barclays, to U.S. Bank). ECF No. 1 at 4, ECF No. 8-2 at 7. Clark's main contention in both suits is that this assignment was invalid. See ECF No. 1 at 4, 6, 9-11; ECF No. 8-2 at 8-10, 12-13. Clark's FDCPA, fraud, and quiet title claims all arise from this single "transactional nucleus of facts, " so the claims in Clark's complaint are identical to the claims in his suit before Judge Dorsey.
Clark also alleges that a 2018 notice of default and election to sell violated the FDCPA because it constituted harassment and a false representation. ECF No. 1 at 4-5; ECF No. 14 at 13 ("filing a foreclosure action on 8/27/2018 . . . shows 'harassment and abuse' according to FDCPA Public Law 806 Sections 1, and 4, as well as 'false and misleading representation' according to FDCPA Public Law 807 Sections 5, 9, 10, and 13"). Clark argues that these allegations cannot be precluded because the violations occurred after Judge Dorsey's order. Barclays responds that this claim is also precluded because it is "is only a violation if the January 9, 2009 assignment is void, which is res judicata." ECF No. 15 at 4.
         Even assuming these claims are not precluded, Clark fails to state a plausible claim for relief because the 2018 notice of default and election to sell was not an attempt to collect a debt under the FDCPA. See Vien-Phuong Thi Ho v. Recontrust Co., NA, 858 F.3d 568, 571-72 (9th Cir. 2017) ("The object of a non-judicial foreclosure is to retake and resell the security, not to collect money from the borrower. . . . Thus, actions taken to facilitate a non-judicial foreclosure, such as sending the notice of default and notice of sale, are not attempts to collect 'debt' as that term ...

A Facade is an outward appearance that conceals a less pleasant reality. In this project we use the
**facade design pattern** to abstract away the inner workings of the
[Shipment Gateway](../../../src/Lib/ShipmentGateway/ShipmentGatewayInterface.php)
 and
[Payment Gateway](../../../src/Lib/PaymentGateway/PaymentGatewayInterface.php). This allows us to hide the
implementation details behind well known endpoints on which our core business logic can depend on. This enables
us to reduced dependencies of outside code, allows more flexibility to switch providers, and reduces our
code exposure to **undesirable design patterns**, such as the **singleton design pattern** extensively used in
these 3rd party PHP libraries:
[EasyPost](../../../src/Lib/ShipmentGateway/EasyPostGateway.php)
and
[Stripe](../../../src/Lib/PaymentGateway/Stripe.php).

## Example

### Stripe Payment Gateway

```php

Egyptian parliament to approve new law on status of Christians – Vatican News
Egypt's parliament is set to approve new legislation drafted in collaboration with local Christian Churches regarding on the personal legal status of Christians in the country.
A long-awaited law on the personal legal status of Christians in Egypt is expected to be approved soon by the Egyptian Parliament. According to a member of the parliamentary legislative committee, the draft law should be discussed shortly after Parliament opens its new session on 23 January.
The drafting of the new legislation, which includes provisions on sensitive issues relating to family law, has been a long process that started in 2014 and in which all Egyptian Churches have been involved.
A long process
The Ministry of Justice ended the drafting process in June 2021 after 16 sessions, during which it consulted legal experts, government officials and Church representatives to reach consensus on the wording of the text.
Discussions have focused in particular on delicate matters like divorce and legal separation of spouses, to which Christian Churches have different ecclesial approaches. Christian leaders had delivered their joint proposed text to the Egyptian authorities on 15 October 2020.
Cooperation with Churches
The cooperation with Christian leaders in drafting the law confirms the good existing relations between the local Churches and the present Egyptian government led by President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi.
Since he took power in 2014, the Egyptian president has made a number of friendly gestures towards the local Christian Churces, especially the Orthodox Coptic Church, the largest Christian community in the country.
Al-Sisi is the first Egyptian President to have attended Orthodox Coptic Christmas liturgies. on more than one occasion, he has defined the Coptic community as an essential part of the Egyptian identity.
In 2015 he reacted strongly to the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians held by the Islamic State in Libya, and in July 2016 announced he would increase penalties against those fomenting religious violence.
On 30 August that year, the Egyptian Parliament approved a new law designed to make it easier to build new churches in Egypt, which for years has been a major reason of tension with the Muslim majority especially in the south. However, improved relations have not stopped Islamist attacks against Christians in Egypt.
Christians count for some 10% of the country's 87 million population.

Parallel heat diffusion and subdiffusion in random magnetic fields
B. J. Albright, B. D.G. Chandran, S. C. Cowley, M. Loh
Stochastic magnetic fields in a weakly collisional plasma enhance the collisionality of electrons in the medium compared to the classical Spitzer values. The reduction in the thermal conductivity may play an important role in the evolution of galaxy clusters. This work extends prior work by examining the parallel propagation of electrons in plasma media where the magnetic field amplitude sampled along a field line is a stochastic function of the distance. New physics is exhibited when many large-amplitude magnetic mirrors are present; the parallel transport becomes subdiffusive rather than diffusive in this limit. The transition between diffusion and subdiffusion can be obtained from properties of the asymptotic solution to the kinetic equation in the vicinity of a solitary magnetic mirror. This transition has been computed as a function of the power law exponent in the distribution of mirror maxima, and the asymptotic scaling of the mean-squared electron displacement with time has been obtained in these systems as a function of this exponent. Monte Carlo comparisons are in agreement with these results.

Q: how to install Windows Image Acquisition for development of image capture, in C# How do I install WIA so I can make a C# project that connects to my USB camera, and then read and store an RGB frame?
Examples I saw in WIA tutorial seem to assume WIA is already installed.
I saw one CodeProject example of WIA code, that started with "using WIA;" but no explanation of how to install WIA.  It would not run because WIA is unknown.
I've tried adding a reference but cannot locate WIA.
Am using Visual Studio 2017 Pro on Windows 7 & 10.

A: WIA is a COM library.

*

*Context-click References node under your Project node in Solution Explorer.

*Click the COM tab

*Find and check the item `Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Library v2.0

Now you have a reference to WIA.  You should be able to follow along with your tutorials.

If you're a list person I don't really need to explain anything about why I get a kick out of coming up with weird ideas for lists and then spending a bunch of time pulling them together. If you're not then you'll no doubt think I'm weird.

Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them and that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a not a good indicator of health. In fact, pain and soreness only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced. It is the last symptom to show, and usually the first to go away. Our goal is to actually heal what ails you, which takes more time than just removing the pain. Doctor Lee customizes a treatment schedule for every patient according to their body's needs - and though this first phase is the most dramatic, it is merely the beginning of your journey to complete wellness.


Mike D'Antoni, left, and Steve Nash are together again, but the setting will be quite different this time.
When Mike D'Antoni resigned from the Knicks eight months ago, after an apparent work slowdown by Carmelo Anthony, it was easy to dump all the blame on Anthony for not being on board with the emergence of Jeremy Lin.
How could he not want to play with the exciting new point guard anointed by D'Antoni as the second coming of Steve Nash?
Except Lin wasn't Nash — not then and probably never. He was a great story — Ivy Leaguer turned instant N.B.A. phenomenon. D'Antoni missed the essential point that instant didn't mean proven. Already offended by Anthony's career-long and well-earned reputation as a serial killer of ball movement, he was seized with delight to Nashionalize the Knicks' offense.
Blinded by unforeseen opportunity, D'Antoni went too far in trying to resurrect the fluid system that had made him a coaching celebrity in Phoenix. He never tried to assure Anthony — who had come to town with the fanfare of a savior — of his standing. It was a miscalculation that left D'Antoni with no choice but to leave, perhaps made with the understanding that he was not long for New York as it was.
Now that the Lakers' job has fallen into his lap because of the Buss family's bailing on Phil Jackson's reported power play, D'Antoni will be reunited with the real Nash — albeit the 38-year-old version. But he had better be able to answer the nagging question of what, if anything, he has learned from his Knicks experience in seven seconds or less.
Is he still wedded to his once-celebrated system or can he be the best kind of coach, one who adapts to the hand he has been dealt?
Easy to like as he was, D'Antoni nonetheless must be evaluated less supportively based on how Mike Woodson has cultivated a relationship with Anthony. Yes, Anthony was bound to be more circumspect after using his leverage lifeline to undercut a coach he didn't want to play for. But while critics predicted that Woodson would survive in New York only by pandering to Anthony, that hasn't happened.
His offense is running through Anthony's gifted hands, but with enough quick-witted guard play thus far from Jason Kidd and Raymond Felton to keep it from becoming one-dimensional. Whereas D'Antoni communicated from a distance, Woodson has been more direct with Anthony, who has responded at both ends of the floor.
Asked last week about Anthony's willingness to shuttle this season between playing small and power forward, Woodson said: "If you ask him to play the 3, he's got to play the 3. If you ask him to play the 4, he's got to play the 4." That may sound like no great sacrifice, but it was refreshing to hear that there remains some working order in the N.B.A. universe of coach-franchise player relationships.
In Phoenix, Nash was D'Antoni's on-court surrogate, and the coach tenuously coexisted with the Suns' other star, Amar'e Stoudemire. Although D'Antoni and Nash must be overjoyed to be together again, D'Antoni would be wise to remember they are not in Phoenix anymore. Set in the pressurized chamber of immediate championship expectations, the Lakers present a momentous challenge of outsize egos and volatile personalities — and that's not even counting the curious case of Metta World Peace.
Firing Mike Brown after five games certainly bordered on Steinbrenner-esque farcicality, but it was a maneuver based on the issues simmering underground: Dwight Howard's pending free agency next summer and Kobe Bryant's obsession with winning a sixth championship ring (tying him with Michael Jordan) before his 34-year-old body wears out.
Everyone knows what Bryant can be like to live with when he senses a season sliding toward irrelevance. Losing all eight preseason games and four of five to begin the regular season proved nothing but did temper the optimism bordering on grandeur after the acquisitions of Nash and Howard. It illuminated the challenges of keeping Bryant happy now to make sure he doesn't scare off Howard from committing to the future.
That's what made Jackson's return seem so inevitable as a short-term salve, even if our last snapshot of the 11-time champion coach was walking away after a four-game sweep by Dallas in 2011, worn out and disgusted by his team's on-court hooliganism.
Howard will enjoy playing pick-and-roll with Nash. But how can D'Antoni be the "best coach" when the Lakers' aging infrastructure and shallow bench seem at odds with his fast-paced style? When the presence of Howard and Pau Gasol demand an attention to low-post play that D'Antoni has never embraced?
The answer, satisfactory or otherwise, is apparently that this was no time to take a chance on a promising but unproven commodity like Brian Shaw, a former Jackson assistant the Lakers should have hired instead of Brown. They believed they needed a name, someone with a brand to help this star-studded roster blast off, and not blow up.
Buyer beware: in retrospect, D'Antoni did not play that well with flammable personnel matches in the pressure cooker of New York.


If you've got food waste on the brain, you're in good company: we're obsessed with finding ways to reuse scraps. Luckily, repurposing ingredients is easier than you might think. A few simple swaps and viola: Monday's stale loaf becomes Friday's buttery breadcrumbs, Tuesday's lentil salad morphs into Thursday's Moroccan stew. Being resourceful never tasted so good.
Don't toss that extra pasta sauce. Instead, cook it down with aromatics and (as they say) put an egg on it for a take on shakshuka. Have a Tupperware of beans in the fridge? Toss those in, too.
Salsa verde is the king of condiments. Gather up any sad-looking herbs in your crisper and put them to good use. Then spoon the sauce over everything from roasted vegetables to proteins. You can even stir it into yogurt for a Middle Eastern-inspired dip.
Those giant fennel antlers that usually make their way to the trash? Spin them (and any other leftover herbs) into anise-flavored pesto. Toss onto pasta, zucchini, or leftover beans (with a squeeze of lemon and shaving of pecorino for good measure). Use the basic technique below, swapping the fronds for the basil.
Like cats, lentils can have multiple lives. Just be sure to portion out a separate batch when you're cooking (or even double the recipe) to save for another use. They'll last for up to a week in the fridge, waiting to be churned into creamy hummus and spicy patties. A bowl of leftover lentils strewn with creamy goat cheese and a drizzle of balsamic and good olive oil makes a simple, refreshing meal.
Eating spaghetti five nights a week stops being okay past the age of 5. Use your noodle to turn yesterday's dinner into today's baked penne or pasta salad.
Somewhere along the way, stale bread got a bad rap. Revitalize crusty loaves by way of panzanella, bread pudding, and almond tarator. In a pinch? Whizz a few ends in your food processor, toss with olive oil, salt, and chile flakes, and crisp into breadcrumbs in the oven. Sealed in a jar, they'll keep for a few weeks.
There are few dishes more comforting than fried rice. When that pattern tires, bake your leftovers into rich zucchini rice gratin or crisp them into fritters.


Tomorrow is Mahalaya. May Divine Mother Durga bless you all on the auspicious day of her advent.
Mahalaya is an auspicious occasion observed seven days before the Durga Puja, and heralds the advent of Durga, the goddess of supreme power. It is a kind of invocation or invitation to the mother goddess to descend on earth - "Jago Tumi Jago". This is done through the chanting of mantras and singing devotional songs.
