Actin interacts with a large number of different proteins that modulate its assembly and mediate its functions. One such protein is the yeast actin-binding protein Sac6p, which is homologous to vertebrate fimbrin (Adams, A. E. M., D. Botstein, and D. G. Drubin. 1991. Nature (Lond.). 354:404-408.). Sac6p was originally identified both genetically (Adams, A. E. M., and D. Botstein. 1989. Genetics. 121:675-683.) by dominant, reciprocal suppression of a temperature-sensitive yeast actin mutation (act1-1), as well as biochemically (Drubin, D. G., K. G. Miller, and D. Botstein. 1988. J. Cell Biol. 107: 2551-2561.). To identify the region on actin that interacts with Sac6p, we have analyzed eight different act1 mutations that show suppression with sac6 mutant alleles, and have asked whether (a) these mutations occur in a small defined region on the crystal structure of actin; and (b) the mutant actins are defective in their interaction with Sac6p in vitro. Sequence analysis indicates that all of these mutations change residues that cluster in the small domain of the actin crystal structure, suggesting that this region is an important part of the Sac6p-binding domain. Biochemical analysis reveals defects in the ability of several of the mutant actins to bind Sac6p, and a reduction in Sac6p-induced cross-linking of mutant actin filaments. Together, these observations identify a likely site of interaction of fimbrin on actin.
CDC42 and CDC43, two additional genes involved in budding and the establishment of cell polarity in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A E Adams, D I Johnson, R M Longnecker, B F Sloat, J R Pringle
Budding in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae involves a polarized deposition of new cell surface material that is associated with a highly asymmetric disposition of the actin cytoskeleton. Mutants defective in gene CDC24, which are unable to bud or establish cell polarity, have been of great interest with regard to both the mechanisms of cellular morphogenesis and the mechanisms that coordinate cell-cycle events. To gain further insights into these problems, we sought additional mutants with defects in budding. We report here that temperature-sensitive mutants defective in genes CDC42 and CDC43, like cdc24 mutants, fail to bud but continue growth at restrictive temperature, and thus arrest as large unbudded cells. Nearly all of the arrested cells appear to begin nuclear cycles (as judged by the occurrence of DNA replication and the formation and elongation of mitotic spindles), and many go on to complete nuclear division, supporting the hypothesis that the events associated with budding and those of the nuclear cycle represent two independent pathways within the cell cycle. The arrested mutant cells display delocalized cell-surface deposition associated with a loss of asymmetry of the actin cytoskeleton. CDC42 maps distal to the rDNA on chromosome XII and CDC43 maps near lys5 on chromosome VII.
Purification of profilin from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and analysis of profilin-deficient cells.
B K Haarer, S H Lillie, A E Adams, V Magdolen, W Bandlow ...
We have isolated profilin from yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and have microsequenced a portion of the protein to confirm its identity; the region microsequenced agrees with the predicted amino acid sequence from a profilin gene recently isolated from S. cerevisiae (Magdolen, V., U. Oechsner, G. Müller, and W. Bandlow. 1988. Mol. Cell. Biol. 8:5108-5115). Yeast profilin resembles profilins from other organisms in molecular mass and in the ability to bind to polyproline, retard the rate of actin polymerization, and inhibit hydrolysis of ATP by monomeric actin. Using strains that carry disruptions or deletions of the profilin gene, we have found that, under appropriate conditions, cells can survive without detectable profilin. Such cells grow slowly, are temperature sensitive, lose the normal ellipsoidal shape of yeast cells, often become multinucleate, and generally grow much larger than wild-type cells. In addition, these cells exhibit delocalized deposition of cell wall chitin and have dramatically altered actin distributions.
Functions of microtubules in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell cycle.

We used the inhibitor nocodazole in conjunction with immunofluorescence and electron microscopy to investigate microtubule function in the yeast cell cycle. Under appropriate conditions, this drug produced a rapid and essentially complete disassembly of cytoplasmic and intranuclear microtubules, accompanied by a rapid and essentially complete block of cellular and nuclear division. These effects were similar to, but more profound than, the effects of the related drug methyl benzimidazole carbamate (MBC). In the nocodazole-treated cells, the selection of nonrandom budding sites, the formation of chitin rings and rings of 10-nm filaments at those sites, bud emergence, differential bud enlargement, and apical bud growth appeared to proceed normally, and the intracellular distribution of actin was not detectably perturbed. Thus, the cytoplasmic microtubules are apparently not essential for the establishment of cell polarity and the localization of cell-surface growth. In contrast, nocodazole profoundly affected the behavior of the nucleus. Although spindle-pole bodies (SPBs) could duplicate in the absence of microtubules, SPB separation was blocked. Moreover, complete spindles present at the beginning of drug treatment appeared to collapse, drawing the opposed SPBs and associated nuclear envelope close together. Nuclei did not migrate to the mother-bud necks in nocodazole-treated cells, although nuclei that had reached the necks before drug treatment remained there. Moreover, the double SPBs in arrested cells were often not oriented toward the budding sites, in contrast to the situation in normal cells. Thus, microtubules (cytoplasmic, intranuclear, or both) appear to be necessary for the migration and proper orientation of the nucleus, as well as for SPB separation, spindle function, and nuclear division.
Structural rearrangements of tubulin and actin during the cell cycle of the yeast Saccharomyces.

The distribution of actin and tubulin during the cell cycle of the budding yeast Saccharomyces was mapped by immunofluorescence using fixed cells from which the walls had been removed by digestion. The intranuclear mitotic spindle was shown clearly by staining with a monoclonal antitubulin; the presence of extensive bundles of cytoplasmic microtubules is reported. In cells containing short spindles still entirely within the mother cells, one of the bundles of cytoplasmic microtubules nearly always extended to (or into) the bud. Two independent reagents (anti-yeast actin and fluorescent phalloidin) revealed an unusual distribution of actin: it was present as a set of cortical dots or patches and also as distinct fibers that were presumably bundles of actin filaments. Double labeling showed that at no stage in the cell cycle do the distributions of actin and tubulin coincide for any significant length, and, in particular, that the mitotic spindle did not stain detectably for actin. However, both microtubule and actin staining patterns change in a characteristic way during the cell cycle. In particular, the actin dots clustered in rings about the bases of very small buds and at the sites on unbudded cells at which bud emergence was apparently imminent. Later in the budding cycle, the actin dots were present largely in the buds and, in many strains, primarily at the tips of these buds. At about the time of cytokinesis the actin dots clustered in the neck region between the separating cells. These aspects of actin distribution suggest that it may have a role in the localized deposition of new cell wall material.
Relationship of actin and tubulin distribution to bud growth in wild-type and morphogenetic-mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A E Adams, J R Pringle
The distribution of actin in wild-type cells and in morphogenetic mutants of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was explored by staining cells with fluorochrome-labeled phallotoxins after fixing and permeabilizing the cells by several methods. The actin appeared to be localized in a set of cortical spots or patches, as well as in a network of cytoplasmic fibers. Bundles of filaments that may possibly correspond to the fibers visualized by fluorescence were observed with the electron microscope. The putative actin spots were concentrated in small and medium-sized buds and at what were apparently the sites of incipient bud formation on unbudded cells, whereas the putative actin fibers were generally oriented along the long axes of the mother-bud pairs. In several morphogenetic mutants that form multiple, abnormally elongated buds, the actin patches were conspicuously clustered at the tips of most buds, and actin fibers were clearly oriented along the long axes of the buds. There was a strong correlation between the occurrence of active growth at particular bud tips and clustering of actin spots at those same tips. Near the end of the cell cycle in wild-type cells, actin appeared to concentrate (as a cluster of spots or a band) in the neck region connecting the mother cell to its bud. Observations made using indirect immunofluorescence with a monoclonal anti-yeast-tubulin antibody on the morphogenetic mutant cdc4 (which forms multiple, abnormally elongated buds while the nuclear cycle is arrested) revealed the surprising occurrence of multiple bundles of cytoplasmic microtubules emanating from the one duplicated spindle-pole body per cell. It seems that most or all of the buds contain one or more of these bundles of microtubules, which often can be seen to extend to the very tips of the buds. These observations are consistent with the hypotheses that actin, tubulin, or both may be involved in the polarization of growth and localization of cell-wall deposition that occurs during the yeast cell cycle.


macromolecules large molecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids complementary matching opposite, like hand and glove hydrogen bonding weak bonding between the H of one molecule or group and a nitrogen or oxygen of another of war between males and females. In this scheme, fathers (who contribute only sperm) benefit when the embryo grows as fast as possible. Thus, silencing genes that slow down embryonic growth is in their interest, even if it depletes resources from the mother. Mothers, on the other hand, need to conserve their resources. Silencing genes that promote rapid growth is therefore in their interest. Supporting this hypothesis is the fact that many of the known imprinted genes regulate growth. Paternally expressed (maternally imprinted) genes such as IGF2 tend to promote growth, whereas maternally expressed (paternally imprinted) genes tend to inhibit it.

In a specialized molecular biology laboratory, researchers can make a sequence of nucleotide bases that is complementary to a target sequence that occurs naturally in a cell (in a gene, for example). When this complementary sequence is exposed to the cell, it will bind with that naturally occur-ing target DNA or RNA in that cell, thus forming what is known as a hybrid. The complementary sequence thus can be used as a "probe" for cellular RNA or DNA.


The endometrium is the mucus membrane that normally lines the inside of the uterus. During the menstrual cycle, it responds to hormones by thickening with blood vessels in preparation for pregnancy. Once this does not occur, it breaks down and becomes your period.

The stunning objects that compose this collection of Inuit art were collected in Pangnirtung, located on Baffin Island in Nunavut, by Madeleine Salter (1923 - 2011) between the years 1953-56 and 1965-68. During this time Madeleine worked as a nurse at the St. Luke's Mission Hospital. The collection was donated by Madeleine's brother and sister-in-law, Derrick Salter and Jill Leir Salter, in 1998. The 101 finely crafted objects include sculptures of people, animals, boats, igloos and dog sleds, as well as dolls and other carved objects. Together they form an important and precious part of the Penticton Art Gallery's Permanent Collection.
Also included in this collection is a large amount of photographic slides that chronicle Madeleine's time and observations in Pangnirtung, including photos of the townsfolk, her co-workers at the hospital, photos of the art objects now in the collection, landscape and nature photos, and documentation of a dog sled trip. These slides would have been used by Madeleine during lectures that she gave about her time in Pangnirtung. She also kept notebooks recording details of her experiences.
The Penticton Art Gallery's collection is in fact only part of Madeleine's extensive collection. The other portion of objects, which includes toys, carpets, seal skin boots and parkas as well her notebooks and correspondence were recently donated to the Canadian Museum of History in Ottawa (formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization).
This is an ongoing project and we will update this page as we continue to work on this important collection and conduct more research.


Do you love me? Sometimes the only way to find out is to ask.
Ok, so maybe we're not going for love exactly, but we certainly want to know what our students think about our classes. An anonymous form may get you started, but really that's just the tip of the ice-cube. Feedback is a tricky subject – because people rarely tell you what they really think.
For the student, even anonymous feedback can be tempered by the thought that the teacher might find out what they think.
It's good to know who you're in the room with right? Especially when they're staring at you intently and taking notes. I have occasionally found out extremely pertinent things about my students three-quarters into the course. It's frustrating when that happens, especially after I've made a carefully constructed needs-analysis and asked pointed questions, repeatedly. The thing is, it's impossible to cover it all. That's where your students come in…and then go about ruining all your preconceptions.
Now I still advocate implementing your needs-analysis with every group, but this exercise goes into greater detail and will allow you to really pin-point your learner needs, quirks and miscellanea, without you having to go through a big pile of papers that you'll probably leave on the bus anyway. Or maybe that's just me.
Check out Mr Android on the right there (click on him to be taken to the link on edudemic.com, or right click to save). He represents a customer profile by Bluestacks, a company who, by delving into Facebook, surveying some 450,000 people and cackling in the midnight rain, created something akin to Frankenstein's monster.
The idea of this exercise is for your students to create something, uh, similar to represent themselves as a class, although not in quite so much detail perhaps. This is good for students who are into marketing. Unfortunately you won't know that they're into marketing until they've created their profile. Now's there's a catch-22 to ponder.
A massive bit of paper – the kind that rolls out – and some marker pens.
Or a whiteboard and a camera.
Or an interactive whiteboard (I wish).
Or, several A3 sheets taped together.
Or cans of spray paint and white walls in your classroom*.
Who has an Android device?
List the reasons on the board as they talk as a class, make any corrections you need to.
Next project or distribute the Android Profile, go over some of the details and ask if it rings true with any of your students. Who is the most/least similar? Compare yourself (i.e. the teacher) to this guy and ask what your students think.
Now you could make this complicated, but that will just uglify matters. Tell your students that they are going to do a getting to know you interview with a partner (or, if later into the term a biographical interview).
Use this as a chance to monitor and correct. You'll also see how good your students' question formation is.
Now, here comes the fun bit.
Depending on what you managed to patch together – use your white board, that massive bit of paper, or spray paint the walls of your classroom**.
Your students must create their own class profile by drawing an outline of a man/woman (depending on who the majority in your class might be). Get your most artisitc student to make the outline, or do it yourself. Then your students should fill it in, two pairs at a time with the random snippets of information they have garnered from one another. They should circulate, write one piece of information each, then pass the markers to another pair. I would set a time limit on this for larger groups, or you'll be there too long. The idea is to create something dynamic so you might not to get to know everything, but you know, nothing's perfect.
Once finished and you are all staring at the beauty you have created, get your students to come and tick every piece of information that is relevant to themselves. They should indicate anything they agree with, it really doesn't matter if they said it themselves or not. This should be much quicker than the previous activity.
Finally, if it's on the board, take a photo, so you have evidence of your class. If you've got it on that massive bit of paper do the same, if you've spray painted the walls, it won't matter anyway. You'll be able to refer back to it as you create your syllabus or are at some point stuck for inspiration. You'll be able to theme your lessons so that they appeal to your students, you will be able to see little details that perhaps you didn't know. Your students will have practised question formation, they will have interviewed one another, they'll have practised writing and they'll have moved around a bit. Give it a go if you're feeling brave.
This is a feedback activity I use in adult classes. It has an educational value to it for both the student and the teacher and can also be an introduction to the entire lesson.
Answer: he was the music teacher.
Who was the most memorable teacher?
Which teacher challenged you the most?
If you could talk to one of your teachers again, who would it be and why?
How much time would be devoted to grammar practice, speaking, reading, writing, debating?
Would there be games? What kind?
How many students would there be in the class?
How much individual attention would each student get?
How much homework would the teacher give?
What topics of conversation would you have?
What topics would be really interesting for you to study?
Name one thing you do now, that you would not like to do in this perfect class?
Ask each student to spend sometime thinking and write a few paragraphs outlining their perfect lesson. It might not be direct feedback, but I guarantee there will be a lot of valuable information relating to your class in particular, what the students want, what they want to change and possibly how you could improve.
Another less sneaky way to get feedback, without – you know – actually asking for feedback.
For the last 15 minutes of class, ask your students to pair up and think back on the activities they have done. Give them some paper and ask them to write the activities in the order that they remember them. Ask them then to decide what the activity was for and how it is relevant to their needs. Finally get them to say two positive things about the lesson and one thing they would do differently.
If you get the students to analyse the lesson first, the feedback element seems more natural. You should have time left over to get some oral reflection on what they have written.
*I'm not responsible for your actions. **really, I'm not.
*NB this is made up and I quite liked my music teacher.

Gaza: Pope Francis calls for peace in wake of violence

Posted: Apr 2, 2018 11:09 AM
Updated: Apr 2, 2018 11:09 AM
Pope Francis used his Easter Sunday address to call for "reconciliation for the Holy Land," in an apparent reference to violence on the Israeli-Gaza border which killed at least 17 Palestinians and injured more than 1,400 on Friday.
Speaking to a crowd of thousands gathered at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, Pope Francis said "the wounds of ongoing conflict" did not "spare the defenseless," according to the Vatican.
The Pope's comments come after a Palestinian march to the border with Israel on Friday turned into the deadliest day in Gaza since the 2014 war.
Thousands of Palestinians amassed near the border for the March of Return, in which the ultimate goal is to cross the border fence into land that became Israel seven decades ago.
But violence quickly broke out.
Sides exchange blame
Israelis and Palestinians then blamed each other for Friday's violence.
David Keyes, spokesman for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, told CNN on Saturday that Hamas organized the violence. He said Israeli forces responded defensively because Hamas engineered the event to have thousands of people "to storm into Israel, to overrun Israel." He told CNN Saturday that calling it a protest is inaccurate.
"Bombs were placed, rockets were shot, guns were shot at Israelis. Israel did what any country around the world would have done. It defended its citizens," added Keyes.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said "the large crowds reflect the determination and will of the Palestinian people to extract the right of return and break the siege, no one can remove this right."
Mustafa Barghouti, founder of the Palestinian National Initiative, not affiliated with Hamas, told CNN on Saturday that the protesters were peaceful, likening their actions to followers of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
"They did not use guns," he said, referring to the Palestinian protesters. "They did not use weapons. They were just trying to express their views in a peaceful manner and unfortunately they were shot by the Israeli army."
He also said protesters came from all over Gaza and were not just members of Hamas.
An Israel Defense Forces (IDF) official said the IDF responded to "violent terror demonstrations" in six separate Gaza locations.
Israel holds Hamas responsible for orchestrating the violence.
Palestinian activists released videos on social media that they say show protesters being targeted by the Israeli military.
The IDF warned Hamas published some of the videos "while others are edited or completely fabricated."The IDF also released their own videos of what they say shows various attempts at sabotage.
Clashes continue
Saturday and Sunday saw much smaller crowds, and far fewer clashes between Palestinians and Israeli forces.
On Saturday, several hundred Palestinians marched toward the border fence.
A CNN crew near Khan Younis in southern Gaza saw some in the crowd throwing rocks and aiming slingshots toward Israeli forces positioned in the distance. A few tires were set on fire and rolled toward the soldiers.
Israeli soldiers responded with tear gas and the CNN team heard shots fired. It was not clear what type of weapons or ammunition the soldiers were using.
Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza said they treated 49 moderately injured people on Saturday and a total of 9 injured people on Sunday.
Smaller crowds gathered near the fence Sunday so there were few reports of violence.
Burying the dead
Ten funerals took place across Gaza on Saturday for those killed the day before, including members of Hamas, the political and military group that governs the territory.
Hamas' military wing, al Qassam Brigades, released the names of five people identified as members of the group who were killed.
The Israeli military also released a statement on Saturday saying, "At least 10 known terrorists with documented terror backgrounds" were killed.
Their list included alleged members of Hamas' military wing, as well as other armed groups. Five of the names on the IDF list matched those on al Qassam Brigades' list.
What were the protests about?
Friday's crowds were the largest seen in Gaza in years. It was held on Palestinian Land Day, which commemorates the confiscation of Palestinian-owned land in Israel in 1976.
Tent cities have been set up to host the marches, which are expected to continue through May 15 when Palestinians mark the anniversary of the "Nakba" ("Catastrophe"), the day after Israel declared independence in 1948.
Roughly 700,000 Palestinians were displaced from their homes during the Arab-Israeli war, which lasted for nearly a year.
The United States plans to move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem around May 14, the 70th anniversary of Israel's declaration of independence, increasing the potential for further protests and clashes.
Both Israelis and Palestinians claim Jerusalem as their capital, and to many Palestinians, the change initiated by the Trump administration is viewed as a further erosion of hope for a two-state solution.
What's the diplomatic fallout?
Following Friday's violence, Kuwait drafted a statement calling on the United Nations Security Council to launch an independent inquiry.
But the US blocked the statement Saturday morning.
If one country objects, then the statement cannot be adopted. It is unclear if countries other than the US would have also objected.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also called for an independent inquiry into Friday's violence.
"This tragedy underlines the urgency of revitalizing the peace process aiming at creating the conditions for a return to meaningful negotiations for a peaceful solution that will allow Palestinians and Israelis to live side by side peacefully and in security," Guterres was reported as saying before an emergency UN Security Council meeting to address the issue late Friday.
Israel's Defense Minister, Avigdor Liberman, flatly rejected calls for an inquiry into the deaths of Palestinians killed during the Friday protests in Gaza.
Speaking on Israeli Army Radio Sunday, Liberman called those wanting an inquiry hypocrites for attacking Israel before looking into the large-scale killings of Syrians and other groups.
Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon lodged a complaint with the United Nations Security Council for holding the emergency session late Friday on the first night of Passover -- a major Jewish holiday -- according to a statement released by Israel's UN Mission on Sunday.
Danon claimed Kuwait intentionally called for the session as Israel's UN mission was observing Passover, thus barring their participation while they observed a religious holiday.

This is a short essay I wrote while a freshman at college in 1996. Things have gotten worse since then.
Our national debt began like a necessary, comfortable fire but has grown into a blazing inferno that is devouring our resources. Some have said that debt is the price of freedom or a "necessary evil" because that money was needed to kindle the financing of our fledgling nation and our war for independence.
According to Robert Burn's article, "Born in Hock" in The Kansas City Star on March 1, 1993, our debt began with the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) and by 1789 was at $77 million. That was 38 times larger than our governments yearly revenue! Because of government concern about the debt, they were able to reduce the debt to a mere $38,000 by 1893, even after the costly Civil War.
We needed a validated copy of our passports from the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala for some our residency paperwork so we can stay in Guatemala longer term. So we showed up at the U.S Embassy with our passports in hand at about noon on a Monday. Here's some basic info on the Embassy and lessons we learned there.

Then we went up the stairs in to the main waiting room. There was a small sign with an arrow pointing to the left indicating that Citizen Services are around the corner (Windows 1-3). We missed this at first and had to ask directions. People at the embassy were helpful though things were slow at times.
Lesson #3 Get there in the morning.
We got there in the afternoon and had to wait 24 hours before we could pick up our validated copies. Had we come in the morning, we could have gotten them the same day.
I arrived shortly after 11 a.m. on a Friday to pick up my son's passport and report of a birth abroad. Turns out that on Fridays they close the American Citizen Services office at 11 and do not open in the afternoon. I had to wait two weeks until I was back in the capital to take the 5 minutes it took to pick up the paperwork.
Lesson learned: Get there early.

Muffin Tin Monday is a weekly blog gathering (here at HCO) of mommies, daddies, and caregivers who serve one meal a week (or more:) ) in a muffin tin! We post submissions (here) every Monday and enjoy sharing and encouraging each with simple and fun muffin tin meals. To submit your muffin tin, just add your blog post's URL in the form below. If you don't have a blog, post it to the Muffin Tin Meals Flickr Group. We try and do themes several times a month - so come join us! And remember, as always, you can be as basic or as detailed as you want!
We went "deep sea fishing" for our Muffin Tin Monday. We had an afternoon snack for our "meal". Now, I am sure you can't find clams, starfish and plankton fishing in the deep sea- but we pretended it was so! Using our pretzels as "fishing rods", we dipped the rod in the peanut butter "bait" and then chose between "starfish", "blue clams", "plankton" (I called them shrimp, but the kids didn't like that) and fishies. My daughter even made up a song about it and I included it for your viewing pleasure!
Best. Muffin. Tin. Meal. Ever.
Simply for the fact that the kids had so much fun! My son said to me as he got up from the table, "Mommy, that was fun!"
Love the fishing idea - how clever!!
That is so cute, I'm glad they had so much fun!!
Don't take a break, we LOVE MTM. Well even if you did, we'd still have to do them here.
What a fun idea! I love that you guys went "fishing". I love the "plankton" too!
So fun! We've done the fishing with peanut butter before but sprinkles oh my girls would love that.
Really cute! I like the idea of going fishing!
Great theme! I had fun with this one! Thanks, Michelle!
Seriously, that was so cute and clever ... I love it!
This was our first time doing a muffin tin theme, and we had a lot of fun with it! Thanks!
I'm not sure how... but I somehow posted this week's to last week's My Linky. Sorry!
I've enjoyed all the fun ideas I've gotten from the meals so far. Great theme.
This was my first MTM to document and post pics of. We loved the theme and had a great time creating our muffin tin meal today. Thanks for the inspiration.
I have to know! Where did you get that muffin tin! That is great!
OK, now that I have posted mine, I can't wait to see what everyone came up with! My kids fished, too, though that wasn't part of the meal I had planned!
I think I'm going to have to go in on MTM! It sounds like fun! My kiddos will love it!
So much fun! And I have it all - I'm doing this tomorrow to break up our afternoon. Thanks!
Oh my goodness!! You had the cutest idea!!! I had to do yours on Tuesday! And, I sent a little snack with pretzels and Swedish fish and p.butter to school for my oldest's party! :) So adorable!

Hypernova
The other night I was at a bar in my neighborhood in Brooklyn when I struck up a conversation with the DJ. I was complimenting him on his song selections and we ended up chatting a bit. I told him I write for a music blog and he told me he was in a band. I checked out his band to find a truly inspirational story about four guys in Tehran Iran who's love for "western music" drove them to illegally record their first record and move all the way to NYC so that they could make music freely. Made me think about freedom of speech and how sad it is that some countries ban something as beautiful and precious as music and creativity. Not only did they record illegally but played illegal shows in basements and secret clubs. As said by the lead singer Raam:
"Playing in the undergrounds of Iran was by far the most exciting thing I had ever done in my life. We've played many shows over here in the States, but only a few can compare to those crazy underground gigs. Music is something you can't take away from the people; no matter how hard certain governments try, kids will always find ways to have fun."
Hypernova's sound is full on dance rock. Dark gothy lyrics and guitars and drums that are made for sweaty dance floors. I'm glad these guys stuck it to the regime and found away to make music. They're second album "Through The Chaos" was released in early April. They've been compared to Interpol, Joy Division, and She Wants Revenge. They opened up for Sisters Of Mercy. They sound pretty much like success.

Q: Group an array of sales by sellers, get the total from each Seller, order by total sales I have an array like this :
[
    {
        "orderId": 1,
        "orderDate": "2021-04-28T08:20:58Z",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "sellerName": "Chris Gilmour",
        "revenue": 2316.49
    },
    {
        "orderId": 2,
        "orderDate": "2020-12-19T12:30:18Z",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "sellerName": "Alanna Sumner",
        "revenue": 2928.88
    },
    {
        "orderId": 4,
        "orderDate": "2020-12-24T08:00:09Z",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "sellerName": "Beth North",
        "revenue": 1550.19
    },
    {
        "orderId": 5,
        "orderDate": "2021-06-06T04:40:48Z",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "sellerName": "Laura Ponce",
        "revenue": 35.5
    },
    {
        "orderId": 8,
        "orderDate": "2021-08-27T05:13:40Z",
        "status": "Canceled",
        "sellerName": "Blade Newman",
        "revenue": 2957.29
    },
    {
        "orderId": 9,
        "orderDate": "2020-12-26T08:07:57Z",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "sellerName": "Alanna Sumner",
        "revenue": 2164.75
    },
    {
        "orderId": 10,
        "orderDate": "2021-04-23T18:44:19Z",
        "status": "Confirmed",
        "sellerName": "Blade Newman",
        "revenue": 2287.55
    }
]

I want the new Array to be :
[
    {
        "sellerName": "Blade Newman",
        "totalRevenue": 5244.84
    },
    {
        "sellerName": "Alanna Sumner",
        "totalRevenue": 5093.63
    },
    {
        "sellerName": "Chris Gilmour",
        "totalRevenue" : 2316.49
    },
    {
        "sellerName": "Beth North",
        "totalRevenue": 1550.19
    }

]

So I want the array to be grouped by sellerName, the amount sold summed up and ordered By sellers with the most total sales.
I tried to solve this by using forEachs and reduces but I failed, if anyone can help me that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

A: As described by @CarySwoveland in the comments, you can accumulate revenue for each seller in an object, convert the object entries to an array to sort, and then generate a new object based on the sorted values:

const sales = [{
    "orderId": 1,
    "orderDate": "2021-04-28T08:20:58Z",
    "status": "Confirmed",
    "sellerName": "Chris Gilmour",
    "revenue": 2316.49
  },
  {
    "orderId": 2,
    "orderDate": "2020-12-19T12:30:18Z",
    "status": "Confirmed",
    "sellerName": "Alanna Sumner",
    "revenue": 2928.88
  },
  {
    "orderId": 4,
    "orderDate": "2020-12-24T08:00:09Z",
    "status": "Confirmed",
    "sellerName": "Beth North",
    "revenue": 1550.19
  },
  {
    "orderId": 5,
    "orderDate": "2021-06-06T04:40:48Z",
    "status": "Confirmed",
    "sellerName": "Laura Ponce",
    "revenue": 35.5
  },
  {
    "orderId": 8,
    "orderDate": "2021-08-27T05:13:40Z",
    "status": "Canceled",
    "sellerName": "Blade Newman",
    "revenue": 2957.29
  },
  {
    "orderId": 9,
    "orderDate": "2020-12-26T08:07:57Z",
    "status": "Confirmed",
    "sellerName": "Alanna Sumner",
    "revenue": 2164.75
  },
  {
    "orderId": 10,
    "orderDate": "2021-04-23T18:44:19Z",
    "status": "Confirmed",
    "sellerName": "Blade Newman",
    "revenue": 2287.55
  }
];

let totalsales = sales.reduce((acc, {
  sellerName,
  revenue
}) => {
  acc[sellerName] = (acc[sellerName] || 0) + revenue;
  return acc;
}, {});

totalsales = Object.entries(totalsales)
.sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
.map((v) => ({ sellerName: v[0], totalRevenue: v[1] }))

console.log(totalsales)

A: You can try this:
    const newArray=[];
    for (var order of orders) {
        var index = newArray.findIndex((a)=>a.sellerName==order.sellerName);
        if (index>-1){
            newArray[index].totalRevenue+=order.revenue;
        } else {
            newArray.push({
                sellerName: order.sellerName,
                totalRevenue: order.revenue
           })
       }
   }
   newArray.sort((a,b)=>b.totalRevenue-a.totalRevenue);

A: Same technique as in other answers, but folded into a single function:

const total = (sales) =>
  Object .entries (sales .reduce (
    (a, {sellerName: n, revenue}) => ({...a, [n] : (a[n] ?? 0) + revenue}),
    {}
  )) .map (([sellerName, totalRevenue]) => ({sellerName, totalRevenue}))

const sales = [{orderId: 1, orderDate: "2021-04-28T08: 20: 58Z", status: "Confirmed", sellerName: "Chris Gilmour", revenue: 2316.49}, {orderId: 2, orderDate: "2020-12-19T12: 30: 18Z", status: "Confirmed", sellerName: "Alanna Sumner", revenue: 2928.88}, {orderId: 4, orderDate: "2020-12-24T08: 00: 09Z", status: "Confirmed", sellerName: "Beth North", revenue: 1550.19}, {orderId: 5, orderDate: "2021-06-06T04: 40: 48Z", status: "Confirmed", sellerName: "Laura Ponce", revenue: 35.5}, {orderId: 8, orderDate: "2021-08-27T05: 13: 40Z", status: "Canceled", sellerName: "Blade Newman", revenue: 2957.29}, {orderId: 9, orderDate: "2020-12-26T08: 07: 57Z", status: "Confirmed", sellerName: "Alanna Sumner", revenue: 2164.75}, {orderId: 10, orderDate: "2021-04-23T18: 44: 19Z", status: "Confirmed", sellerName: "Blade Newman", revenue: 2287.55}]

console .log (total (sales))
.as-console-wrapper {max-height: 100% !important; top: 0}

Using reduce, we get this intermediate format:
{
  "Chris Gilmour": 2316.49,
  "Alanna Sumner": 5093.63,
  "Beth North": 1550.19,
  "Laura Ponce": 35.5,
  "Blade Newman": 5244.84
}

Then Object .entries turns it into
[
  ["Chris Gilmour", 2316.49],
  ["Alanna Sumner", 5093.63],
  ["Beth North", 1550.19],
  ["Laura Ponce", 35.5],
  ["Blade Newman", 5244.84]
]

and the map call turns it into its final form.

A:

//temp = given array
let result = temp.reduce((acc, curr) => {
    if (acc[curr.sellerName]) {
        acc[curr.sellerName] += curr.revenue;
    } else {
        acc[curr.sellerName] = curr.revenue;
    }
    return acc;
}, {});
// console.log(result, (a, b) => {
//     console.log
// });
result = Object.entries(result).map((value) => {
    return {
        sellerName: value[0],
        revenue: value[1],
    };
});

result = result.sort((a, b) => a["revenue"] - b["revenue"]);
console.log(result);

A: Use a simple for loop to make a hash of revenue by seller name (this is more readable than reduce).
const revenueByName = {};
for (const {sellerName, revenue} of data) {
    revenueByName[sellerName] = (revenueByName[sellerName] ?? 0) + revenue;
}
const result = Object.entries(revenueByName)
    .map(([sellerName, totalRevenue]) => ({sellerName, totalRevenue}))
    .sort((a, b) => b.totalRevenue - a.totalRevenue);

A: You can combine map with grouping step together, and then just sort array

const orders=[{orderId:1,orderDate:"2021-04-28T08:20:58Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Chris Gilmour",revenue:2316.49},{orderId:2,orderDate:"2020-12-19T12:30:18Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Alanna Sumner",revenue:2928.88},{orderId:4,orderDate:"2020-12-24T08:00:09Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Beth North",revenue:1550.19},{orderId:5,orderDate:"2021-06-06T04:40:48Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Laura Ponce",revenue:35.5},{orderId:8,orderDate:"2021-08-27T05:13:40Z",status:"Canceled",sellerName:"Blade Newman",revenue:2957.29},{orderId:9,orderDate:"2020-12-26T08:07:57Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Alanna Sumner",revenue:2164.75},{orderId:10,orderDate:"2021-04-23T18:44:19Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Blade Newman",revenue:2287.55}];

const result = Object.values(orders.reduce((acc, { sellerName, revenue }) => {
    acc[sellerName] ??= { sellerName, totalRevenue: 0 };
    acc[sellerName].totalRevenue += revenue;
    return acc;
}, {}))
.sort(({ totalRevenue: a }, { totalRevenue: b }) => b - a);

console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper { max-height: 100% !important; top: 0; }

A: Lodash if you don't mind

const orders=[{orderId:1,orderDate:"2021-04-28T08:20:58Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Chris Gilmour",revenue:2316.49},{orderId:2,orderDate:"2020-12-19T12:30:18Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Alanna Sumner",revenue:2928.88},{orderId:4,orderDate:"2020-12-24T08:00:09Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Beth North",revenue:1550.19},{orderId:5,orderDate:"2021-06-06T04:40:48Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Laura Ponce",revenue:35.5},{orderId:8,orderDate:"2021-08-27T05:13:40Z",status:"Canceled",sellerName:"Blade Newman",revenue:2957.29},{orderId:9,orderDate:"2020-12-26T08:07:57Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Alanna Sumner",revenue:2164.75},{orderId:10,orderDate:"2021-04-23T18:44:19Z",status:"Confirmed",sellerName:"Blade Newman",revenue:2287.55}];

const result = _.chain(orders)
  .groupBy('sellerName')
  .map((values, key) => ({ sellerName: key, totalRevenue: _.sumBy(values, 'revenue') }))
  .sortBy('sellerName')
  .value();

console.log(result);
.as-console-wrapper {max-height: 100% !important; top: 0}

Even though Mother's day is not yet over, a lot of moms have been thinking of a nice fathers day gifts for their husband. Sometimes, finding one for them is much harder than finding gift for our mother or fellow girl friend. Boys can be sometimes very choosy, believe me, i know that feeling of buying something and will just receive a negative note from it.
If only my father is still alive, i would definitely fulfill his wish of giving him a coffee maker and a set of this starbucks ground coffee for him to enjoy each morning. Now, i missed him. Each father's day, i always gave him a small gift and when i don't have any money, i would make a nice father's day card out of my recycled card boards, even it was very simple, the words coming from it is the one that he truly treasures.
Make your father, husband happy this father's day, gave him a nice gift that he would surely love. It doesn't matter if it was not that grand, what matters is the thought and the sincerity.

Tower crews tackle restoring communications in West Virginia
In Daily News Briefs by Wireless Estimator June 27, 2016
Tower crews have been working under challenging conditions to restore cell and wireline services to three carriers in West Virginia after massive floods left tens of thousands of customers without communications services.
Frontier Communications, alone, said more than 10,000 of its customers have lost services.
The company said in a news release that the number of outages may fluctuate and possibly increase. As the water recedes, crews may discover fiber cuts and downed lines that were hidden. The numbers also could go up as people gain access to their homes and report their service is out.
AT&T's Disaster Recovery team set up this satellite cell on light truck in Clendenin to assist their command center.
A crew was able to run a temporary fiber line across the Elk River to a cell tower after a road was washed out.
Other major carriers said they too are working to restore service.
Sprint and AT&T are having issues because of power outages. They will not say how many tower sites have been affected or give any kind of estimate for when full service will be restored.
Verizon and T-Mobile have not reported any major services interruptions.
State Adjutant National Guard General Jim Hoyer has stressed that it was important for the guard to assist in any way they can to make sure cell towers remained in operation in the impacted areas.

Staggering amounts of information are accessible as never before—from proprietary big data to new public sources of open data. Analytical and processing capabilities have made similar leaps with algorithms scattering intelligence across digital networks, themselves often lodged in the cloud. Smart mobile devices make that information and computing power accessible to users around the world.
As these technologies gain momentum, they are profoundly changing the strategic context: altering the structure of competition, the conduct of business, and, ultimately, performance across industries. To stay ahead of the unfolding trends and disruptions, leaders across industries will need to challenge their assumptions and pressure-test their strategies.

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think of engineering? Maybe someone who creates blueprints of space shuttles? Someone who solves a lot of math equations? Someone who designs and builds bridges? If you thought of any of those things, you'd be right.
Engineering has been part of the foundation of modern human society. It is a broad field of applied science, figuring out how things work and how to bring ideas to life. Engineers are the professionals who are behind most of our contemporary conveniences: trains, planes, cars, computers, smartphones, biomedical products, spaceships, skyscrapers, bridges, roads, boats, electricity. Almost every industry imaginable has been touched by the hands of a professional in engineering. Likewise, an engineering degree online can cover a wide gamut of fields, from electrical to transportation to biomedical. If you are contemplating an engineering degree, take the time to understand the complex factors that may impact your ability to practice in this professional field.
THE CAREER PATH
Engineering professionals work across the spectrum of industries, where there is a need for engineering, mechanics, or other types of technology. General engineering programs are great for professionals who are curious in exploring the diverse arena of engineering and their many career options. If you're interested about turning math and science into real life innovations that may change the way our world works, then read on to consider how you can get started in engineering.
The responsibilities of those that have earned a general engineering degree will depend on the type of employment they eventually secure. The Department of Labor (DOL) gives an overview of some of the most common engineering positions:
Aerospace Engineers – These engineers design, create, and test aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. They often specialize in areas such as aerodynamic fluid flow, structural design, navigation and control, instrumentation and communication, robotics, and propulsion and combustion. They can also specialize in designing different types of aerospace products, such as commercial and military airplanes and helicopters, remotely piloted aircraft and rotorcraft, spacecraft, and military missiles and rockets. Engineers can start their career as an aerospace engineering technician, operating and maintaining equipment that's used for the development and sustainment of aircraft and spacecraft, with an an associate's level education, making nearly $70,000 on average. Aerospace engineers must have at least a bachelor's degree, which pays off to the tune of nearly $110,000 in annual salary on average.
Mechanical Engineers – These professionals apply their knowledge of math and science to create and maintain machines that use or produce power. They make work with cars, heating and cooling systems, or even robots; they are involved in the production of everything from batteries to refrigerators. Like other engineers, mechanical engineers use computers quite often to integrate many aspects of projects. Mechanical engineering technicians can begin their career with an associate degree, to help mechanical engineers design, develop, test, and manufacture mechanical devices, including tools, engines, and machines. On average, technicians make nearly $55,000 each year. With a bachelor's degree, professionals can find positions as mechanical engineers, with the potential of making an average salary between $80,000-90,000.
Chemical Engineers – Chemical engineers apply a unique knowledge of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems that involve chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and more. These engineering professionals may conduct research, establish safety procedures for working with dangerous chemicals, or specialize in a particular chemical process such as oxidation. Like most engineers, chemical engineers must have a bachelor's degree before they can dive into their work. They are among some of the better paid engineers, making an average of nearly $100,000 each year.
Civil Engineers – These professionals design, supervise, and maintain major infrastructure projects that allow our society to operate smoothly. They are the ones who are typically responsible for the foundational pieces of our public and private sectors such as bridges, dams, roads, tunnels, and more. They usually specialize in one or more areas that include construction, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, etc. Professionals may start their career with an associate's degree as a civil engineering technician, helping civil engineers to plan, design, build, and maintain infrastructure projects. Civil engineering technicians make an average of nearly $50,000 annually. With a bachelor's degree, professionals can seek positions as a civil engineer, making more than $80,000 on average each year.
Regardless of your specific passion and interests, or how much you are able to invest in your career, there are limitless options to creating a path in engineering that's perfect for you.
WHO IS THE IDEAL CANDIDATE?
Careers in engineering are for professionals who are not timid to dive into the depths of multiple STEM topics, becoming experts at applied math, science, and physics. Professionals who succeed in these types of careers must have a careful eye for detail to solve complex equations and the technical skills that are required to turn scientific concepts into realistic products.
In addition to being mathematical problem-solvers and critical thinkers, these professionals must be great communicators since they often have to work in teams with other professionals and colleagues. They must also have the creativity to bring science to life in an almost magical sense. If you're interested in making the products that help shape our society, then there are many unique paths to the world of engineering.
To become a licensed engineer, you generally must attend on an online engineering school that is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). In addition to completing a bachelor's of science in engineering, you may be required to complete up to four years of supervised engineering work experience post-degree, and pass the national Professional Engineer (PE) exam. You will then be a licensed engineer (PE). Note that requirements vary by state. Check the licensing requirements in your state before enrolling in any engineering degree program online.
A general engineering program offers professionals the foundational skills and knowledge that is needed for a career in engineering, while still leaving room for individuals to customize and specialize their curriculum to fit their unique interests in agriculture, environment, electronics, aerospace, or more. Compare the online master of engineering (ME) to the online master of science in engineering (MSE). The presence or absence of the word "science" in the degree title has meaning. A master of engineering is a professional engineer's degree, and will not require a research thesis. The master of science (MS) will require a traditional thesis and is best suited for academics and researchers. Many states also require licensed engineers to participate in continuing professional competency (CPC). Many online ongoing education courses are available to help accrue necessary hours.
Engineering technicians, however, do not need to meet the above requirements. Technicians often earn online associate or bachelor degrees in applied engineering technology from an Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission (ETAC) accredited school. Professionals who earn online engineering technology degrees can major in the same areas as licensed engineers—civil engineering, mechanical engineering, etc.—but they usually make less in salary. They may also have to work under the direct supervision of a licensed engineer. An engineering technology degree contains more applied courses. A technology degree has less of an emphasis on theoretical math and science than an online bachelor's degree in engineering.
Our rankings reveal that the average cost of an online master's degree in engineering is just under $28,000. Keep this figure in mind as you compare programs. Make sure any program you enroll in meets any licensing requirments that you'll need for your future career goals as an engineer.

Hi Bonnie! Disney's Contemporary Resort has monorail access to Magic Kingdom and Epcot. In addition, there is a walkway from the Resort hotel to Magic Kingdom. Disney Bus transportation is available from Disney's Contemporary Resort to Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom Park, Downtown Disney, and both Water Parks.


Many eastern traditions emphasise the incredible beauty of the mind in its natural state – wild, rampant, blissful, limitless, and ultimately compassionate – when it is allowed just to be, without judgment or grasping, without the boxes and the shoulds and the protection and the trauma many of us are working so hard to protect ourselves – and others – from.
I had done a lot of work on my self through various spiritual and cognitive therapies, however ten years on I found I was still working to avoid situations or people which might bump me up against the same deep held beliefs – or retrigger traumas – that I had been carrying all of my life.
In 2013 I met a facilitator in the Living Inquiries and I knew this was what I'd been looking for: a gentle and safe, yet laser-like process, which could guide me into the places which were causing the suffering, the deep-held beliefs which looped to protect the shame and the trauma and there began my journey into the Living Inquiries followed by my year-long training to become a facilitator.
It is without doubt the most efficient – and the most loving – tool that I have found to unpick the selves and stories which cause suffering.
I offer sessions by Skype and in person, in Oxford in the UK, holding a safe and supported space in which a client may journey to unpick the energies which no longer serve.
"I've loved the sessions that we've had together. I know that I can just jump right in with you, whatever state I'm in, and it'll be fine, even if it's really painful. You seem to have a natural ability to facilitate in a way that really helps me to see and feel deeply. Thank you." F.R.
"I had moments of clarity with Olivia that were like looking into a clear pool of water. The space she holds is very alive and present. She gives plenty of space for you to go wherever you need to go, whilst attentively maintaining the support of her warmth and presence. I got so much from my sessions with Olivia and I would highly recommend her." C.M.


A few weeks ago, I picked up a package of Applegate Farms "The Great Organic Uncured Hot Dog", which uses beef from grass-fed cows. A package of 8 set me back nearly $7.50, which is WAY more than you will pay for commodity hot dogs at the grocery store. In fact, it was the most expensive price I've ever paid on a per-hot-dog basis outside of sporting events.
A Chicago-style, or "salad dog", is a mixture of vegetables that have a minimizing effect on the hot dog itself. Typically you would expect to see cucumber, tomato, onion, roasted pepper, and pickle relish (at minimum). In this preparation I restricted myself to the first three items.
It was FANTASTIC, even with the bun falling slightly apart. Certainly some of the taste can be attributed to the hot dog itself, but beyond that the mix of cucumber, pepper jack cheese, and tomato fit in very well.
Thaw the hot dogs (if frozen).
Place hot dogs in boiling water, allow it to continue boiling 4-5 minutes (hot dogs should reach an internal temperature of 170 degrees F).
Prepare ingredients while hot dogs are boiling. This really just amounts to cutting a few vegetables and is very quick.
Turn heat off, allow it to cool.
Fashion the ingredients like you see in the pictures. Mix it up if you are in the mood. Consider adding pickle relish as well.
Serve with whatever you like, perhaps baked beans and potato chips.

Update: Man.U legend Ryan Giggs to go on trial on Monday after being accused of attacking and controlling his ex-girlfriend
The trial of ex-Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs, who is being accused of attacking and controlling his ex-girlfriend, will go ahead on Monday, August 8.
Arrangements for the case were finalised today in the wake of Manchester Crown Court closing this week due to testing for the potentially dangerous material.
Judge Hilary Manley ruled the 10-day trial will start next week at the city's other crown court, Manchester Minshull Street, before it transfers to Manchester Crown Court on Tuesday for the remainder of the proceedings.
Giggs, 48, is accused of using controlling and coercive behaviour against Kate Greville, 36, between August 2017 and November 2020.
He is also charged with assaulting Ms. Greville, causing her actual bodily harm, and of the common assault of her younger sister, Emma Greville, at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, on November 1 2020. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Last week HM Courts and Tribunals Service said Manchester Crown Court would be temporarily closed due to a 'building issue'.
A number of cases were later switched from the Crown Square building to Minshull Street and also Bolton Crown Court.
In a brief hearing at Minshull Street today, Judge Manley said jurors would be sworn in on Monday, with the prosecution opening to follow.
Barristers in the case appeared remotely to deal with the preparatory matters, while Giggs was not required to attend.
The former Manchester United and Wales International Footballer was due to face trial in January, but the hearing was put back due to the ongoing backlog of court cases exacerbated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
Last month, he stood down as manager of the Wales national team following a period of leave since November 2020.
During Giggs' time at Old Trafford, Manchester United won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, four FA Cups and three League Cups.
He won 64 caps for Wales and is co-owner of League Two side Salford City.

My name is Nick Fisherman III. It's not my real name, but that's not because I'm trying to hide from my former agency, or something. I named myself after someone I've known for most of my life, and he chose it in honor of his late best friend. I took up writing when I found myself failing 8th grade science, and realized I might never reach my dream of becoming a biochemist, a meteorologist, and a quantum physicist. I started developing my canon after a scouting trip to an island inspired what I thought would be my first novel. I founded this website upon the advice of many people, who told me I needed to get my work out there, and not wait for an agent to accept my manuscript. You can expect one new story every day. Weekdays are for microstories, which are one or two paragraphs long. They're usually only thematically linked, so you won't have to read one to understand another, but they do sometimes tell a combined story. Sundays are for my continuous longer story, The Advancement of Mateo Matic, which I started in the beginning, and won't end until 2066. Saturdays are for long series, most of which take place in the same universe as Mateo, and add to the larger mythology.
The Advancement of Mateo Matic: April 24, 2048
« < » > Table of Contents
Aura asked Mateo and Leona to hand over the information regarding her daughter's disappearance, and also for them to stay out of the investigation. They would only be able to help once every year, and she still felt uncomfortable about Mateo's prior relationship with his own half-sister. She didn't voice her concerns over the second part, but it was implied. When the two of them returned in 2048, there was apparently no news on the matter. Frida/Aquila was nowhere to be found. It was a longshot, because it was pretty clear that she was one of them. If the powers that be didn't want someone to learn something, then they wouldn't, and nothing was going to change that.
For the first time in a long time, Mateo and Leona had nothing to do. They didn't have to break someone out of prison, or run for their lives from that person. They didn't have to search for information, or go to a funeral, or have kidney surgery. "Honestly," he said after waking up, "I can't help but be bored."
"I know," Leona agreed. "I was sort of getting used to a life of constant urgency. Our brief moments of respite were filled only with anticipation for the next crisis. I don't know what to do with myself."
"What does one do with a life such as this?"
Mateo's birth father, Mario had been behind them for an unknown amount of time. "I have an idea." He touched both of their shoulders and pulled them away.
They found themselves in some kind of body of water. It didn't seem too deep while they were swimming over to the nearest bit of land. There were tall cliffs all around them, like they were sitting in some kind of giant bowl. "When are we?" Leona asked.
"Same time," Mario explained. "Well, I think we've jumped a few hours into the future. Well...maybe several hours. I don't know where we are, though."
"Some kind of crater lake," Leona said, just off the top of her head.
Mateo pulled out his phone and looked at the GPS. "It says Rapa Nui."
"That's another name Easter Island," Leona said, again just off the top of her head. "Why did you bring us here?"
"The powers brought us here. I'm just the medium."
"In your experience," Leona began, "what might a reason be?"
"My sister teleported all over the place, helping people. I, on the other hand, help people help other people. I save boy scouts...proverbially."
"So it is actually the two of us who are supposed to help someone?" Mateo asked, but it wasn't so much of a question.
"Yeah, I would think—" Mario began, but then blinked out of sight.
"Well, that was helpful," Mateo said. "How the hell are we supposed to get out of here?"
"We climb, of course. You were the one complaining about not having anything to do."
"So were you."
It took them a few hours of slipping, stumbling, and cursing, but they did manage to climb out of the crater, and survived to tell the tale. Upon reaching the summit, they found themselves face to face with a series of guns. "Mateo?" a familiar voice came from the back. He gently moved the gunmen to the side and stepped forward. It was Gilbert Boyce, the man they had agreed to free from Reaver's prison a few days ago. "What are you doing here?"
"We're...uh," Leona stammered. "We're here to help."
Gilbert studied their faces for a moment and a half before shrugging. "I don't know how you do it, but it wouldn't be the first time you appeared out of nowhere and helped me out, so I guess I'm gonna go with the flow." He helped her off the ground as his men lowered their weapons.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"Into the crater," Gilbert answered.
"We just came from there," Mateo whined.
"It's the only way."
"What's down there?"
"You'll see," Gilbert said ominously. The team slowly and carefully made the trek down the slope of the crater. Mateo was getting a decent workout today, and was not particularly happy about it. He took back what he said about being bored. That was the ideal. Once they were at the bottom, Gilbert took out a map and started comparing it to landmarks around them. "This way."
Leona took a peek. "Please don't tell me that's a treasure map."
"Of course not," Gilbert said, much to their relief. "Okay, that's a lie. It is. There's a secret entrance nearby."
"And you're going to be the first to find it."
"Since the ancients, yes."
"That sounds crazy."
"I literally did not ask you to come."
Leona pulled Mateo to the side and whispered to him, "it's dangerous for us to be underground during a timeslip. Erosion, flooding, bats. It's just over an hour to midnight central. We can't risk it."
"The powers that be have a plan. We either follow it or try to subvert it. I don't know about you, but I haven't had much luck going against their wishes. They want us here, we're here."
Gilbert called to them while unpacking supplies, "are you two coming, or not? Honestly, I can't say which I prefer."
"We're leaving," Leona said, but only to Mateo. She took his arm and began to lead him away, but stopped short.
Frida was standing in front of them. She had not changed a bit. "Go with them, Leona," she instructed before disappearing, like any salmon would.
"You saw that, right?" Mateo asked.
"Yes. We have to go." But she was not happy about it.
"I'm not a huge fan of this one."
"This one what?" she asked.
"This day. This year. I guess it's good that we'll be done with it soon, though."
"Let's just hope we don't accidentally timejump off a cliff."
Gilbert nodded to them, fortunately without having seen Frida's sudden appearance. He addressed his men, "two of you will need to go down with your own lungs. We didn't bring extra rebreathers."
"Actually, we have our own," Mateo said.
"Rule number seven," Leona noted. "Pack the essentials, and always keep them within reach."
"Serendipitous," Gilbert said. "It'll take us a few minutes to get through the tunnel and up into the grotto."
"Assuming it even exists," Mateo pointed out.
"Exactly," Gilbert agreed.
They all put on their rebreathers and dove into the water. It took them awhile before finding it, but there was indeed what appeared to be a secret tunnel. It could likely not be found by anyone not looking for it. They snaked their way in one by one, and about ten minutes later, were able to surface in the grotto. The walls were covered in some kind of greenish-bluish glowing something or other. It was stunningly beautiful. Leona walked over to the cave wall and examined it. "Glow worms. Like the ones in New Zealand."
"Are they dangerous?" Mateo asked in fear.
She shrugged. "Might could be. Don't touch them."
Gilbert stopped looking at the worms and went back to his map. He turned it around, wrestled with it, and peered closer.
"Do you know where you're going?" Mateo asked.
"Of course I do," he said, to their relief. "That was another lie. This is pretty much as far as the map goes. There's another map, but I was not able to procure it."
"Well, what are we looking for down here?"
"Again, I don't even know why you're here!" Gilbert yelled. He pointed down the corridor. "I'm going forward. You may leave at any time. But I'm done with your complaints."
That was actually kind of fair. Kind of. The team pressed on down the corridor. The glow worms never disappeared completely, but there were fewer and fewer of them as they moved. When finally they found themselves in another large chamber, full of twice as many worms as the first, nearly an hour had gone by. Leona's watch beeped. "It's time, Mateo. Whatever we're supposed to do, it will have to wait for next year."
"What does that mean?" Gilbert asked. "Why do you only show up once a year?"
She ignored him. "Get in the middle of the room. It'll be the safest place for us." She and Mateo huddled together and prepared themselves.
Midnight came and went. They were still in the same place, and the team was just staring at them. "Are you two okay?"
"We're still here!" Leona cried with excitement.
"The cave must be protecting us."
"Frida is protecting us."
Gilbert turned his head to get a better listen with his lizard brain. "I wouldn't be so sure of that." The sound of rushing water could be heard in the distance, back down the corridor from where they had come, and it was growing closer. "Um...run."

I am shocked, appalled and dismayed at the treatment I have been given by your creation. I have dealt with shabby treatment before from companies, but in my research I have discovered that you seem to be the one behind all of these annoyances, both minor and major. In your role as Chief Executive officer and creator of all of reality, I think that rather than dealing with your middlemen and messengers, I would go straight to the head of the organization in hopes that you can effect some meaningful change.
To date, I have spent thousands of dollars on your son's birthday, spend most of my Sunday mornings as a child in your buildings, been given or bought between 20 and 30 copies of your instruction manual, listened to countless speeches from your employees and attempted communication with you on several occasions. I have not been acknowledged in any way. To date I have not received a thank you card, a return phone call, a note, a sign, a visit from one of your winged lieutenants, seen an ever burning bush, or been pelted with a rain of frogs, so I have to believe that you are ignoring and avoiding my complaints.
While I have a large number of complaints, I will limit my letter to a few, and when you contact me, I can go into more detail about how I feel your organization has failed to deliver on its promises.
First, I would like you to address the fact that after thousands of years, I still am required to work at a job. You would think that this antiquated method of procuring goods and services would be replaced by something a little more efficient by now. This shows that your organization is not looking for new solutions and being as innovative as a company like, say, Microsoft. You continue to punish me personally for something done by an ancestor I wouldn't have even heard about until I read your instruction manual. This Adam person who you claim broke one of your rules thousands of years ago is why I must live by the "sweat of my brow." Consulting with my lawyer, I can find no legal precedent for punishing me for something a distant relative has done. I respectfully request that this edict be lifted from me. I do not need readmittance to your "Garden", as I am not a nature lover, but would instead simply like the use of one of your nicer houses. The Basilica of St. Mary's would be fine.
Second, it says in your manual that you created our forms. I am not pleased with mine and would like a new one. I know that the kind of form I want is possible, as I see them on billboards and in movies. I do not think my form is all that unpleasing, but due to the fact that I have lived alone for a number of years, those who I would like to spend time with my form obviously do. If you could remake my form into one resembling Johnny Depp after working with a personal trainer for a year or so, I would be prepared to withdraw my complaint. I will not bring up how you have ... short changed ... me in the genital area, but this is also a source of complaint. The fact that you did not respond to my constant and repeated entreaties to you on this issue during my pubescent years was a source of many problems during that time, and I am thinking of seeking fiscal compensation for that trauma.
Third, you have created far too many idiots, morons, dimwits, jerks, fools, rednecks, mouth breathers, dumbasses, jabronies, big shots and teen boy groups. Please start thinning the herd. I have read that in the past you have sent plagues, floods and pestilence to aid in that. I have a number of suggestions for who and how you can begin this process. When you respond to my letter, we can discuss this further.
Fourth, your products don't seem durable enough. The Earth can't seem to handle simple nuclear and chemical waste, ozone depletion or harvesting without depleting some of the animal inventory or messing up the weather. Maybe you are using substandard materials, or maybe you just slapped the whole thing together in less than a week, but it is far past time you started upgrading your work and making it compliant with modern usage. Also, I am perturbed that I have been made of shoddy materials with an expiration date. We humans are able to create packaging that can keep Spam or Twinkies fresh for hundreds of years in adverse conditions. Couldn't you spend a little more on raw materials so that I don't have to fall apart, get old and die? I would be willing to pay more for quality materials. I do not mind the hair becoming gray, so I am not asking for that to be replaced. In fact, my hair seems to be about the only thing about me you have gotten right. I would also like some of the other hair that I have to be removed so that I am no longer mistaken for a Yeti.
I have been very unsatisfied with your work and your lack of communication over the years, and have been told that there are other corporations that are interested in my business. Among the other businesses I have looked at is one set up by one of your former workers. While portions of it sound attractive, I would much rather keep my business with you.
I look forward to you working on a resolution to my complaint and will be looking for some changes as a good faith effort on your part to show me that you are still interested in my business. At the very least, winning lottery ticket to show up in my wallet, a stunning redhead next to me when I wake up in the morning, or a new car in front of my house would show me that you are working to resolve the issues I have with your handiwork.

P.S. Please do something about your spokesmen as well. They really get on my nerves.

Hey Guys! My husband & I are big foodies and we enjoy the full package; great food, friendly prompt service, virbrant atmosphere/ambiance, off the beaten path and a view doesn't hurt either. Any recommendations for lunch or dinner spots not to miss in Barcelona?
"Buen apetito", enjoy your time in beautiful Barcelona.


Careful, respectful and thorough. If you want someone to look after something special, I think I can. Now a traveller based in Sydney, sometimes in Sydney for a few months, then every now'n'again. I'm born and bred on Sydney. Now with 2 grown up daughters who are making their own lives.
I've looked after a townhouse in Sydney's inner west, making sure the indoor plants received the care they were used to, while the owner was travelling.
And I've recently helped a busy family; doing everything from driving children to and from school, to keeping the home neat and tidy. Something a little different there.
I'm definitely a cat person, but never owned a dog. I've looked after caged birds and a water dragon. I can keep a garden watered. I need easy parking.


h. In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 13:11 it says, "When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me." Have you put childish ways behind you? Which childish ways?
