The fellows entering this program are well-trained, excellent pediatricians who have graduated from accredited pediatric residency programs and are board-eligible in general pediatrics. Our Training Program builds upon this background, providing a longitudinal clinical experience that prepares a pediatrician to diagnose and manage the full range of outpatient and inpatient endocrine disorders, including diabetes.
Fellows can either be in the research-intensive track, which is sponsored in part by the NIH Metabolism Training Program, or the clinician-educator track. The research-intensive track involves 6 months of clinical rotations each during the first and third year of training, while the remaining 24 months are devoted to research. On the clinician-educator track, fellows spend a total of 21 months in clinical training and 15 months on research.
Training in the clinical aspects of the program includes inpatient/consultative care and 2-3 days per week of endocrine outpatient clinics at the various locations within the University Hospitals / Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital system. Fellows are expected to assume primary responsibility for the care of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes as well as the full gamut of general endocrine disorders and the clinics are designed to optimize longitudinal care. The in-patient clinical rotations are performed at UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, which is an active primary care hospital and a major tertiary care center. The bulk of the out-patient clinical experiences occur at the four off-site pediatric subspecialty centers. Fellows are exposed to a unique mixture of endocrine cases ranging from the more common disorders, such as diabetic ketoacidosis and growth problems, to rarer disorders, such as congenital adrenal hyperplasia, precocious and delayed puberty, and thyroid dysfunction. In addition, because of the many active clinical programs at UH Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital, fellows are also exposed to acquired endocrine dysfunction secondary to premature birth, critical illness, and systemic diseases such as cystic fibrosis and oncologic disorders.
Fellows on the research-intensive track spend a total of 12 months on clinical rotations, while fellows on the clinician-educator track spend a total of 21 months on clinical rotations.
The clinic schedule of fellows is designed to foster longitudinal care of children with chronic medical conditions. Physicians and staff in our division care for patients from a large area in northeast Ohio, spanning diverse geographic, racial, cultural and socio-economic backgrounds. In addition to the general pediatric endocrinology and diabetes clinics, fellows also have the opportunity to participate in specialty clinics addressing the needs of children with Prader-Willi syndrome, Turner syndrome, lipid disorders, obesity and oncologic disorders.
Our physicians and staff care for over 900 children and adolescents with diabetes and over 3,000 children and adolescents with various endocrine disorders. The division averages more than 10,000 out-patient visits per year.
Children with diabetes account for more that 200 admissions per year to the Pediatric Endocrinology service. Our division provides over 300 in-patient consultations yearly, in the general pediatric ward, pediatric and neonatal intensive care units, the hematology and oncology unit and the child and adolescent psychiatry unit. The daily census on the endocrinology in-patient and consultation service averages 4 patients, and varies between 3 and 10.

Van Gogh himself brought this period to an end. Oppressed by homesickness—he painted souvenirs of Holland—and loneliness, he longed to see Theo and the north once more and arrived in Paris in May 1890. Four days later he went to stay with a homeopathic doctor-artist, Paul-Ferdinand Gachet, a friend of Pissarro and Paul Cézanne, at Auvers-sur-Oise. Back in a village community such as he had not known since Nuenen, four years earlier, van Gogh worked at first enthusiastically; his choice of subjects such as fields of corn, the river valley, peasants' cottages, the church, and the town hall reflects his spiritual relief. A modification of his style followed: the natural forms in his paintings became less contorted, and in the northern light he adopted cooler, fresh tonalities. His brushwork became broader and more expressive and his vision of nature more lyrical. Everything in these pictures seems to be moving, living. This phase was short, however, and ended in quarrels with Gachet and feelings of guilt at his financial dependence on Theo (now married and with a son) and his inability to succeed.
On March 16, 1966, at 704 East Broadway in Anaheim, California, brothers Paul Van Doren and James Van Doren and Gordon C. Lee opened the first Vans store under the name The Van Doren Rubber Company.[5] The business manufactured shoes and sold them directly to the public. On that first morning, twelve customers purchased Vans deck shoes, which are now known as "Authentic". The company displayed three styles of shoes, which were priced between US$2.49 and US$4.99, but on the opening day, the company had only manufactured display models without any inventory ready to sell—the store rack boxes were actually empty.[6]
Albert Aurier praised his work in the Mercure de France in January 1890, and described him as "a genius".[173] In February Van Gogh painted five versions of L'Arlésienne (Madame Ginoux), based on a charcoal sketch Gauguin had produced when she sat for both artists in November 1888.[174][note 10] Also in February, Van Gogh was invited by Les XX, a society of avant-garde painters in Brussels, to participate in their annual exhibition. At the opening dinner a Les XX member, Henry de Groux, insulted Van Gogh's work. Toulouse-Lautrec demanded satisfaction, and Signac declared he would continue to fight for Van Gogh's honour if Lautrec surrendered. De Groux apologised for the slight and left the group. Later, while Van Gogh's exhibit was on display with the Artistes Indépendants in Paris, Claude Monet said that his work was the best in the show.[175] After the birth of his nephew, Van Gogh wrote, "I started right away to make a picture for him, to hang in their bedroom, branches of white almond blossom against a blue sky."[176]
In January 1879 he took up a post as a missionary at Petit-Wasmes[45] in the coal-mining district of Borinage in Belgium. To show support for his impoverished congregation, he gave up his comfortable lodgings at a bakery to a homeless person, and moved to a small hut where he slept on straw.[46] His squalid living conditions did not endear him to church authorities, who dismissed him for "undermining the dignity of the priesthood". He then walked the 75 kilometres (47 mi) to Brussels,[47] returned briefly to Cuesmes in the Borinage, but gave in to pressure from his parents to return home to Etten. He stayed there until around March 1880,[note 3] which caused concern and frustration for his parents. His father was especially frustrated and advised that his son should be committed to the lunatic asylum at Geel.[49][50][note 4]
I asked Fred Astaire once when he was about my age if he still danced and he said 'Yes, but it hurts now.' That's exactly it. I can still dance too but it hurts now! I've always kept moving. I was at the gym at six this morning. Of course marrying a beautiful young woman has been a big help. There are so many years between us and we don't feel it. I'm emotionally immature and she's very wise for her age so we kind of meet in the middle.
Van Gogh moved to Paris in March 1886 where he shared Theo's rue Laval apartment in Montmartre, and studied at Fernand Cormon's studio. In June the brothers took a larger flat at 54 rue Lepic.[102] In Paris, Vincent painted portraits of friends and acquaintances, still life paintings, views of Le Moulin de la Galette, scenes in Montmartre, Asnières and along the Seine. In 1885 in Antwerp he had become interested in Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock prints, and had used them to decorate the walls of his studio; while in Paris he collected hundreds of them. He tried his hand at Japonaiserie, tracing a figure from a reproduction on the cover of the magazine Paris Illustre, The Courtesan or Oiran (1887), after Keisai Eisen, which he then graphically enlarged in a painting.[103]
He incorporated his children and grandchildren into his TV endeavors. Son Barry Van Dyke, grandsons Shane Van Dyke and Carey Van Dyke along with other Van Dyke grandchildren and relatives appeared in various episodes of the long-running series Diagnosis: Murder. Although Stacy Van Dyke was not well known in show business, she made an appearance in the Diagnosis: Murder Christmas episode "Murder in the Family" (season 4) as Carol Sloan Hilton, the estranged daughter of Dr. Mark Sloan.
Between February and April 1890 Van Gogh suffered a severe relapse. Depressed and unable to bring himself to write, he was still able to paint and draw a little during this time,[168] and he later wrote to Theo that he had made a few small canvases "from memory ... reminisces of the North".[169] Among these was Two Peasant Women Digging in a Snow-Covered Field at Sunset. Hulsker believes that this small group of paintings formed the nucleus of many drawings and study sheets depicting landscapes and figures that Van Gogh worked on during this time. He comments that this short period was the only time that Van Gogh's illness had a significant effect on his work.[170] Van Gogh asked his mother and his brother to send him drawings and rough work he had done in the early 1880s so he could work on new paintings from his old sketches.[171] Belonging to this period is Sorrowing Old Man ("At Eternity's Gate"), a colour study Hulsker describes as "another unmistakable remembrance of times long past".[90][172] His late paintings show an artist at the height of his abilities, according to the art critic Robert Hughes, "longing for concision and grace".[114]
Here you will find images of ;Van Gogh drawings, watercolors, graphic works, letter sketches, and Van Gogh's paintings. Discussions and critiques on Van Gogh's Starry Night, Sunflowers, Irises, Poppies, The Bedroom, The Mulberry Tree, Blossoming Almond Tree and The Potato Eaters are just a few of the many pieces which are covered. On the drawings and paintings page, you will find a discussion of a few of Van Gogh's drawings which he also created as paintings. To search a list of his paintings by name, date, current location or museum, visit The Gallery section.
During the last six or seven months of the year 1889, he has also created at least fifteen paintings of olive trees, a subject which he considered as demanding and compelling.[251] Among these works are Olive Trees with the Alpilles in the Background (1889), about which in a letter to his brother Van Gogh wrote, "At last I have a landscape with olives".[250]While in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh spent time outside the asylum, where he painted trees in the olive groves. In these works natural life is rendered as gnarled and arthritic as if a personification of the natural world, which are, according to Hughes, filled with "a continuous field of energy of which nature is a manifestation".[214]
Van Dyke had four children with his first wife, Margie. The pair lived separate lives for years, before officially divorcing in 1984. The actor became involved with Michelle Triola, an ex-girlfriend of Lee Marvin, in the late 1970s. Trioia had been working as Van Dyke's agent's secretary when they first met. Van Dyke stayed with Triola for nearly 30 years, until her death in 2009. In March 2012, the 86-year-old actor wed 40-year-old makeup artist Arlene Silver.

Van Gogh worked hard and methodically but soon perceived the difficulty of self-training and the need to seek the guidance of more experienced artists. Late in 1881 he settled at The Hague to work with a Dutch landscape painter, Anton Mauve. He visited museums and met with other painters. Van Gogh thus extended his technical knowledge and experimented with oil paint in the summer of 1882. In 1883 the urge to be "alone with nature" and with peasants took him to Drenthe, an isolated part of the northern Netherlands frequented by Mauve and other Dutch artists, where he spent three months before returning home, which was then at Nuenen, another village in the Brabant. He remained at Nuenen during most of 1884 and 1885, and during these years his art grew bolder and more assured. He painted three types of subjects—still life, landscape, and figure—all interrelated by their reference to the daily life of peasants, to the hardships they endured, and to the countryside they cultivated. Émile Zola's Germinal (1885), a novel about the coal-mining region of France, greatly impressed van Gogh, and sociological criticism is implicit in many of his pictures from this period—e.g., Weavers and The Potato Eaters. Eventually, however, he felt too isolated in Nuenen.
After much pleading from Van Gogh, Gauguin arrived in Arles on 23 October, and in November the two painted together. Gauguin depicted Van Gogh in his The Painter of Sunflowers; Van Gogh painted pictures from memory, following Gauguin's suggestion. Among these "imaginative" paintings is Memory of the Garden at Etten.[132][note 8] Their first joint outdoor venture was at the Alyscamps, when they produced the pendants Les Alyscamps.[133] The single painting Gauguin completed during his visit was Van Gogh Painting Sunflowers.[134]
I remember in the book that Caractacus was married. There was no love interest, no love story. So I think bringing Truly Scrumptious in works very well because we had assumed he was a widower. And they couldn't have picked a better Truly Scrumptious than Sally [Sally Ann Howes]. They came up with Sally Ann and I heard her voice, and it was the richest contralto. She auditioned with "The Lovely Lonely Man" and I thought, "My God, this girl is great!" and then she was stunningly beautiful. She loved those kids and they loved her, which I think comes across on the screen. They just thought a great deal of her and she spent a lot of time with them, you know, between shots - telling stories and playing games during all those long waiting periods.
Van Gogh strove to be a painter of rural life and nature,[212] and during his first summer in Arles he used his new palette to paint landscapes and traditional rural life.[213] His belief that a power existed behind the natural led him to try to capture a sense of that power, or the essence of nature in his art, sometimes through the use of symbols.[214] His renditions of the sower, at first copied from Jean-François Millet, reflect Van Gogh's religious beliefs: the sower as Christ sowing life beneath the hot sun.[215] These were themes and motifs he returned to often to rework and develop.[216] His paintings of flowers are filled with symbolism, but rather than use traditional Christian iconography he made up his own, where life is lived under the sun and work is an allegory of life.[217] In Arles, having gained confidence after painting spring blossoms and learning to capture bright sunlight, he was ready to paint The Sower.[208]
Danny (last name May, I'm pretty sure) and Sierra were a pleasure to work with. They had a completely non-pushy yet totally dedicated approach. Their timing was perfect - literally every time we had a question or wanted help, they appeared and LISTENED to our wants and dislikes and guided us like they really cared. They were upbeat and personable and miles ahead of the salespeople we met at other furniture stores in the area. We couldn't be happier with how we were treated.

^ Theo and his wife, Gachet and his son, and Signac, who all saw Van Gogh after the bandages were removed, maintained that only the earlobe had been removed.[142] According to Doiteau and Leroy, the diagonal cut removed the lobe and probably a little more.[143] The policeman and Rey both claimed Van Gogh severed the entire outer ear;[142] Rey repeated his account in 1930, writing a note for novelist Irving Stone and including a sketch of the line of the incision.[144]
Theo died in January 1891, removing Vincent's most vocal and well-connected champion.[267] Theo's widow Johanna van Gogh-Bonger was a Dutchwoman in her twenties who had not known either her husband or her brother-in law very long and who suddenly had to take care of several hundreds of paintings, letters and drawings, as well as her infant son, Vincent Willem van Gogh.[262][note 14] Gauguin was not inclined to offer assistance in promoting Van Gogh's reputation, and Johanna's brother Andries Bonger also seemed lukewarm about his work.[262] Aurier, one of Van Gogh's earliest supporters among the critics, died of typhoid fever in 1892 at the age of twenty-seven.[269]

BREAKING: Trump Unleashes on Obama's Inner Circle, Says 'People Should Be Going To Jail For This Stuff'
✍ Petition: Should Obama be investigated?
✍ Petition: Should Obama be investigated? 👇
By signing, you agree to our Privacy Policy
President Trump openly scrutinized his predecessor, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and a handful of the Obama administration's top officials and according to Fox News, Trump pointed out that "People should be going to jail for this stuff."
During an interview with Fox News, Trump spoke about former Obama officials including Joe Biden and former FBI Director James Comey – who requested to "unmask" former national security adviser Michael Flynn during the period between the Obama administration and the Trump administration.
"People should be going to jail for this stuff and hopefully, a lot of people are going to have to pay. No other president should have to go through, and I'll tell you, Gen. Flynn and others are heroes, heroes, because what's happened to them. They weren't after Gen. Flynn. They wanted him to lie about me. Make up a story."
"It was the greatest political crime in the history of our country," Trump said in an interview with Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo.
"If I were a Democrat instead of a Republican, I think everybody would have been in jail a long time ago, and I'm talking with 50-year sentences. It is a disgrace what's happened. This is the greatest political scam, hoax in the history of our country."

"Joe Biden's limp claim that he doesn't know anything about the railroading of Gen. Michael Flynn just got even more unbelievable." pic.twitter.com/6fUoW6PfS6
— Erin Perrine (@ErinMPerrine) May 13, 2020
"Joe Biden's limp claim that he doesn't know anything about the railroading of Gen. Michael Flynn just got even more unbelievable."
"Biden is listed among the Obama administration officials who requested the unmasking of Flynn," campaign manager Brad Parscale said in a statement. "We already knew Biden was briefed on the Flynn case before President Trump took office and now we know that he wanted Flynn unmasked."
"These documents have absolutely nothing to do with any FBI investigation and they confirm that all normal procedures were followed — any suggestion otherwise is a flat out lie," Biden Rapid Response Director Andrew Bates said.
"What's more, it's telling that these documents were selectively leaked by Republicans abusing their congressional powers to act as arms of the Trump campaign after having them provided by a partisan official installed for this very purpose."
More from Fox News:
Flynn's case returned to the national spotlight after the Department of Justice moved to dismiss charges against him of lying to the FBI about conversations with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, despite a guilty plea that Flynn later sought to withdraw. Trump allies claim Flynn was wrongly targeted, and have suggested high-level involvement in an effort to bring him down. Democrats, however, claim the DOJ's decision to abandon the case shows how it has become politicized.
Attorney General Bill Barr has stood behind the decision, and defended it in an interview with CBS.
Both the DOJ and Grenell had been discussing these "unmasking" files after Grenell appeared to have delivered those files to the department last week. There were some tensions between the two offices over who would actually pull the trigger to release them — ultimately, the publication came from Capitol Hill after Grenell sent lawmakers the files.
The declassified list specifically showed officials who "may have received Lt. Gen Flynn's identity in response to a request processed between 8 November 2016 and 31 January 2017 to unmask an identity that had been generically referred to in an NSA foreign intelligence report," the document, obtained by Fox News, read.

ROCKLIN, Calif., June 2, 2015—SMA has rolled out a rebate program for its Sunny Boy 240-US micro inverter. Installers can now receive $10 cash back for each Sunny Boy 240-US purchased in the United States through December 31, 2015, with no quantity limitations.
Redeeming the rebate is simple and can be completed in two easy steps. First, installers must purchase the Sunny Boy 240-US from a participating SMA Authorized Distributor. Then, they must submit purchase information along with the receipt to SMA before the end of the following calendar month. Once that is received, SMA will mail a rebate check within 90 days directly to the installer.
"With each purchase of the Sunny Boy 240-US, installers will receive SMAs legendary reliability, American-assembled quality and more cash back in their pockets," said Henry Dziuba, president and general manager of SMA America. "These benefits translate into significant short-term margins and long-term O&M savings."
The Sunny Boy 240-US is ideal for residential systems and rooftops with complex, shaded situations.

A UNIQUE
IAA, located in the medieval city of Ascoli Piceno, offers Italian language and cultural programs to foreign students, through an independent study abroad program. This educational and cultural experience offers students the opportunity to attend a semester in the heart of medieval Italy and gain college credits.
The idea for IAA was born, several years ago, in collaboration with the writer and multifaceted artist Antonella Picciotti; who dedicated her lifework to education through culture, music and art and believed in the realization of this project. Now this innovative idea has taken shape as it has been awarded financing by the European Union.
Adding our inspiration and love for Italian language and traditions along with our competence in the field of intercultural exchange IAA is now able to share the vast beauty and ancient culture of Italy and in a specific way the charm of our region rich in treasures and full of history to discover.
While at university one of IAA's co-creators experienced firsthand the immense value of this type of cultural exchange, in turn realizing that the important benefits acquired during this experience should be accessible to all interested students.

Rival teams race to be first for winter summit of 'savage mountain' K2
Around 60 climbers and sherpas from four groups are attempting to make the first-ever winter summit of the world's second-highest peak in the coming weeks
Record-breaking mountaineer Nirmal Purja is leading one of the teams attempting to summit K2 in winter for the first time

Since the first attempt in 1987-1988, only a handful of winter expeditions have been made on K2

5 January 2021, 11:17 pm ·4-min read
Dozens of mountaineers have converged on Pakistan's mighty K2 peak, vying to conquer one of the world's last major climbing challenges -- reaching the summit in winter.
Four teams with around 60 climbers and sherpas between them have begun climbing the world's second-highest peak -- known as the "savage mountain" -- where winds can blow at more than 200 kilometres per hour (125 miles per hour) and temperatures drop to minus 60 degrees Celsius (minus 76 Fahrenheit).
Since the first attempt in 1987-1988, only a handful of winter expeditions have been made on the 8,611-metre (28,250-feet) mountain in the Karakoram massif on the Chinese border. None of them have got above 7,650 metres.
Even in summer, almost one in six climbers who attempt the summit die, and since the first success in 1954 only 450 people have managed it -- compared to more than 6,000 who have scaled Mount Everest.
Lockdowns and travel bans sparked by the coronavirus outbreak mean the summer climbing season last year was a washout in Pakistan and other popular climbing destinations in the region, such as Nepal.
"People had plans for the year but they couldn't go anywhere," said Dutch mountaineer Arnold Coster, who is helping to lead one of the expeditions.
"So we've been kind of jobless for a year and now lots of people want to do something," he told AFP.
Although Pakistan is still battling more than 2,000 fresh coronavirus cases a day, the country has reopened.
Throughout December, the teams flew into the northern town of Skardu and trekked over the Baltoro Glacier to reach base camp, from where they will begin the ascent -- an expedition that could take up to two and a half months in total depending on the weather.
- Egos and avalanches -
K2 is set amongst some of the most breathtaking landscapes the world has to offer -- and some of the most dangerous.
"Multiple factors must fall in line for anyone to have a chance of summiting," said climbing coach Alan Arnette, who points to altitude sickness, avalanches and landslides -- as well as egos -- as potential pitfalls.
Coster's expedition, organised by Nepalese company Seven Summit Treks, stands out with its supersize team of around 20 clients of varying experience and around 30 support staff.
Together, they will have to accommodate differing ambitions, including those who do not want the help of sherpas or oxygen.
"We have a lot of different people with different ideas. For us, as leaders, it's difficult to manage. But from a manpower point of view, if people work together, we have a bigger chance," said Coster.
Climbers spend days going up and down attaching ropes to the mountain to help them reach the top and also acclimatise to the thinning air -- particularly tiring work for small groups.
One trekker has already been airlifted from base camp because of a pre-existing health condition, the company said.
- Concerns of crowding -
Mingma Gyalje has climbed 13 of the highest peaks but failed to reach the K2 summit last winter.
This year he is heading an all-Nepalese team of three experienced sherpas.
Gyalje is a contender to summit this time, better prepared for the cold after his harsh lesson last year -- but concerned about sharing a crowded mountainside with other teams.
"I don't feel like it's a good sign having so many people, too many clients," he told AFP.
"It puts pressure on the staff. Because there are people in the team who don't want to go back without reaching the summit."
Many mountaineers shared the same concerns, fearing some of the climbers are not sufficiently prepared.
Of the other two expeditions, one is led by Nirmal Purja, a star Nepalese climber and former British special forces serviceman who has set his team of six apart with a plan to paraglide off the summit.
In 2019, Purja scaled all fourteen of the world's 8,000-metre mountains in six months and six days -- however, that was in the summer.
The fourth team is an Icelandic-Pakistani pairing of three.
With so many people on K2 this winter, the chances are good that at least one person will reach the top, said Arnette, the climbing coach.
"However, almost everything must go practically perfect," he said.
"And that rarely happens on an 8,000-metre peak, much less on K2."

My course will benefit my employer as I am learning a lot about the theory of my work and am able to put it into practice for my organisation.
"I decided to study at NTU as I was excited that the MA Sociology course was being redesigned to include the underlying principles of service learning and community engagement. This is what I believe Sociology at this level should be pursuing.
"I was attracted to the MA Sociology course because of the values that the staff have and how these are incorporated into the newly designed master's programme. I was happy to see that it could be studied part-time, which has allowed me to continue working (albeit 32 hours a week).
"It was important for me to know the course had progression routes and opportunities outside of the classroom. I wanted to further my understanding of the social world and when I saw there were opportunities to work in the community as part of the Service Learning module, I was very pleased.
"What stood out for me on the course was the service learning element. I felt that NTU were leading the way on the new emerging type of public sociology that other academics were writing about but not necessarily putting into practice.
"I use NOW, the NTU online workspace. I like how all of the lecture slides and materials are uploaded on to NOW and that you can access your timetable too. I like that there is a chat room facility whereby some lecturers host online seminars.
"My course will benefit my employer as I am learning a lot about the theory of my work and am able to put it into practice for my organisation. I am building links with the community through my course, which helps in my day job too.
"My greatest achievement as a postgraduate student so far has been achieving a high distinction and my lecturer working with me to make this piece of work publishable. In the future I want to become an academic and undertake a PhD in the field of Sociology.
"Studying Sociology at NTU gives you many opportunities to explore the social world outside of the lecture theatre. My advice to prospective students would be to utilise the knowledge of the lecturers and the community around you to further your studies and your sociological imagination."

Bubba Watson struggles in the first round in the U.S. Open.
Bubba Watson struggles in first round of US Open, matching his highest score in this event and will need big comeback Friday to make cut.
After Bubba Watson struggled Thursday into one of his worst career rounds at the U.S. Open, he'll need a dramatic comeback to make the cut.
Watson had a pair of double bogeys and made his only birdie on the 16th hole, finishing with a 7-over 77 in the first round at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club on Long Island, New York.
It matched his worst score at a U.S. Open, but in this case, Shinnecock is playing to a brutish par-70. Watson wasn't alone in his struggles.
Only two players in the early morning groups finished under par. Defending U.S. Open champion Brooks Koepka, who was in Watson's group, finished at 5-over.. The third player in that group, Jason Day, finished at 9-over.
Phil Mickelson is tied with Watson in 118th place (as of 4 p.m.) at 7-over.
The last time the U.S. Open was held at Shinnecock Hills in 2004, the 36-hole cut was at 6-over. Watson had rounds of 73-74 (7 over) and didn't make it. That was his first time in a major championship.
Watson's group began play off the No. 1 tee at 6:40 am (CDT) and their round stretched past five and a half hours.
Watson made par on the first hole, but then it it got rough. He had a double bogey 5 on the par-3 No. 2 hole, then bogeyed No. 3. After five consecutive pars, he bogeyed the No. 9 hole to finish at 4-over 39 on the front nine.
After a double bogey 6 on No. 14, a bogey on No. 15, Watson was at 8-over, before he was able to get his only birdie of the round on No. 16.
Watson's group will have an afternoon start off No. 10 on Friday. When he finished Thursday, he was tied for 61st, but with the afternoon players yet to begin.

NEW DELHI:
After the defeat of the BJP and the victory of the coalition in Jharkhand, Hemant Soren, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) leader, is all set to become the Chief Minister. The coalition is celebrating the win, but the challenges before Hemant Soren are grave.
There are five major challenges for the new government to meet the expectations of the people.
Rs 85,000 crore debt
The Jharkhand government currently has a debt of Rs 85,234 crore. When Raghubar Das took over the government in 2014, the state had a debt of 37,593 crore, which increased drastically during his government. This government took more than the total loans drawn by all the governments in the 14 years before 2014. In such a situation, Hemant Soren has the challenge to reduce this debt.
The farmers in the state also have a debt of over Rs 6,000 crores who are expecting a relief from the new regime. Hemant Soren will face the challenge of getting these farmers out of the debt.
Removing the 'poor state' tag
After being carved out from Bihar in 2000, Jharkhand has been tagged as a 'poor state'. Over 36.96 per cent of the population still lives below the poverty line. Getting Jharkhand out of this state is also a challenge for Hemant Soren.
Food shortage
Jharkhand has often been in the news for the starvation deaths. This is the same state where in 2017 in the Simdega district, an 11-year-old girl named Santoshi died of starvation. Jharkhand needs about 50 lakh metric tonnes of food grains every year, but only 40 lakh metric tons are produced here in best of the conditions. The challenge for Hemant Soren is to fill this gap of 10 lakh metric ton.
Maoist violence and security
While in Jharkhand, Maoists have been curbed in many districts, but there are still 13 affected districts. These include Khunti, Latehar, Ranchi, Gumla, Giridih, Palamu, Garhwa, Simdega, Dumka, Lohardaga, Bokaro and Chatra districts. Making them Maoist-free will be a challenge for Hemant Soren.
Jharkhand has also been infamous for mob lynching. In such a situation, it will be a challenge for Hemant Soren to stop such incidents during his rule.
Fifth state with highest unemployment
On becoming the Chief Minister, Hemant Soren will face the tough challenge of giving employment to the youth of the state. Jharkhand is one of the most unemployed states in the country. According to a sample survey office report in April this year, Jharkhand is among the 11 states in the country where the unemployment rate is the highest.
According to this report, Jharkhand is at number five in the country in terms of the highest unemployment rate. According to the NSSO data, Jharkhand had a 2.5 per cent unemployment rate in 2011-12, which rose to 7.7 per cent in 2017-18. In this report, Kerala had the highest unemployment rate of 11.4 per cent.
One out of every five youth in Jharkhand is unemployed. Forty-six per cent post graduate and 49 per cent graduate youth of the state do not have jobs. This figure has been revealed in the report of the Institute of Human Development. On the basis of Economic Survey 2018-19, more than one lakh youth were given training under employment schemes of the government, but eight out of 10 youth are looking for work.
Hemant Soren's promise
Hemant Soren has said on his Facebook page that the unemployment rate in Jharkhand is crossing its limits. It is growing like a disease. While the unemployment rate in the country is currently 7.2 per cent, it is 9.4 per cent more than that in the state. In the last 4.5 years, the Raghubar government of the BJP has duped the youth. There are more than four lakh registered unemployed in the state. And, more are on the roads searching for jobs.
He said: "I promise the unemployed youth of the state that when my government comes, 100 per cent youth will be given employment in the state itself, and unemployment allowance will be given to them till each one is able to get employment."

11-year-old Jewish boy knocked to the ground in Williamsburg. NYPD searching for gang of 10 suspects involved in attack.
An 11-year-old boy from Williamsburg's Hasidic community was assaulted Sunday night in what may be the latest anti-Semitic incident in Brooklyn, following a string of physical attacks on Jews and Jewish institutions in the area.
The incident occurred at 6:09 p.m. Sunday evening at the corner of Throop Avenue and Walton Street in the Broadway Triangle neighborhood of Williamsburg.
A gang of 10 young men can be seen passing by the scene of the crime shortly before the attack. One of the 10 men then walks back to the corner, spots the 11-year-old boy, runs over to his victim, and knocks him to the ground.
The assailant and the other members of the gang then flee the scene. Video of the attack was taken by a security camera across the street. The local Jewish watch group, the Williamsburg Shomrim, was notified shortly thereafter, and a medical team from Williamsburg Hatzolah was dispatched to treat the child, who suffered minor injuries.
The New York Police Department opened an investigation into the attack. While authorities have yet to declare the incident a hate-crime, City Councilman Kalman Yeager warned that attacks on Jews appeared to be the "new normal" in New York.
Last month, two Orthodox Jewish men were attacked in separate incidents in Brooklyn.
Earlier this month, a number of Jewish schools and synagogues were vandalized with graffiti or hit by arsonists in a string of anti-Semitic incidents.

Parents have been looking for years for a frame that will last, is safe, comfortable and most importantly that their children can feel confident wearing.
While most eyewear companies make mini versions of adult frames and add cartoon stickers or pink colors to appeal to children, we've been busy engineering Vigeo*, a frame specially crafted for children through industrial design, not fashion design. A frame that is safe, ergonomic, light, comfortable -- and yes, fashionable.
Vigeo* is constructed using an attractive and innovative engineering plastic made in Switzerland. It is currently the lightest engineered plastic in existence, a quality which is extremely significant for all day wearer comfort.
Vigeo* is designed to fit 97.5% of children between the ages of 6 and 18 comfortably. The ergonomic design was made using optical and anthropometric data (specific eye and face measurements), gathered from over 500,000 children in elementary and junior high schools.
The challenge for our designers was to engineer a frame that would stay on the child's face, even when playing or running, and would be light and comfortable for all day wear.
Vigeo* offers many advanced features in one frame, including Grip(tm) temples and nosepads that provide security with a soft touch when in contact with skin, yet resist perspiration, heat, water, oil and chemicals. Extreme material flexibility and solid frame construction deliver performance without equal. See our video demo.
Materials used to construct Vigeo* frames have been approved by both the Federal Drug Administration and the European Union for prolonged contact with food and/or skin, ensuring to peace of mind for every parent.


In the search for good health, many people go to great lengths.
And this site is all about the different avenues people look down for fixes and improvements.
There are also a few "Stealth Factors" out there, that are frequently overlooked.
One of the most underestimated elements of good health and perhaps life-success is The Human Element.
In her case, it was a friend who changed her life.
And the UK researchers found that the relationship with your doctor changes your life, too.
One of the easiest places to hide a fact or revelation is either in plain-sight, ar at a TED talk.
In both cases, once people are made aware of it, they will say they knew it the whole time anyway.
Well this team showed by examining mortality rates for doctor-consistency.
People who stay with the same doctor lead healthier lives and live longer.
In some cases, the rates of mortality were reduced as much as 50%!
The effects were consistent for 82 percent of patients.
The countries surveyed included The US, Canada, France, The UK, The Netherlands, Croatia, Israel, South Korea, and Taiwan, to name a few.
But also for all the different Specialists they went to, like Surgeons, Psychiatrists, etc. also!
So the main thesis is that seeing the same people establishes something called, "Continuity Of Care".
On one side, this can mean that any given doctor has been with that patient long enough to really know all of their little unique quirks.
And because of that, they communicate better.
And also due to that comfort, the patient also Listens to the doctor and More-Faithfully Implements their programs for improvement.
But the researchers also posit that people were more likely to Implement the doctor's ideas on Preventative-Measures, also.
And those people showed this trait by also having significantly-fewer Hospital and Emergency-Room visits, too.
I guess an ounce of prevention really is worth saving $1500 on your stitches!
And let's not understate it, these add up to effects that are every bit of being potentially life-saving!
Even if it's going to take longer for you to do it, and will increase inconvenience, the results are worth it.
The ideal minimum is going to the same doctor for at least 2 years to be in the statistical class that starts to see the benefits.
Many of us also know someone for whom one small mistake led to a chain-of-events that resulted in a very serious problem.
But if you turn it around the other way with Continuity-Of-Care from seeing the same doctor, you can make it work for your longevity to create a Virtuous Circle instead.


Hello dear ones, I hope to find you well and enjoying the last couple weeks of this speedy summer.
But the school I was looking to join was holding the first weekend of their training during one of my best friends weddings back in my hometown of Quincy, IL, and the school wouldn't let anyone miss a weekend of the training.
I'm SO excited to be initiated into the wise spiritual, mental and physical practices of yoga…and to weave this sweet practice into future offerings and retreats here at Strong Body Love.
I had my first deep dive this past weekend – led by my dear teacher and friend Rosemary Garrison, in collaboration with my good friends at The Pad Studios.
I met Rosemary 12 years ago at the spa I was working at as a massage therapist, International Orange.
Yoga and her class was there for me during some of the most challenging and transformational periods of my life to date – a cross-country move, a massive break up, my "Saturn Return" – and then later as I built a new business, got hitched, navigated my husband's illness, moved from city to country, and everything in between.
After working at International Orange for 3 years, I was asked by the owners of a brand new yoga studio opening up in the city, The Pad Studios, to practice massage out of their space.
I was nervous as hell because this would mean taking the leap from working at the spa as an employee to launching my own massage practice. That truly was the launch of my full-time entrepreneurial career and I've never looked back.
And it's so sweet to get certified by folks who've been so pivotal in my personal and professional growth, and I feel humbled and grateful for the opportunity to dive deep into this practice that has served me so well over the past 18 years.
I'll finish with a little ditty I wrote at YTT after Rosemary asked us WHY we practice yoga.
This question is foundational in the work that I do with my clients as a women's leadership coach, and I encourage you to ask yourself this same question in regards to your business, your hobbies, and your loves – to help ground and root you into your WHY.
I practice yoga, because it opens my heart, it releases my thinking mind, and allows for me to remember the truth of who I am at the core – as a spiritual soul embodied in a fast-paced material world.
I practice yoga because it helps me come back to center, ground into my foundation and feel like myself again.
I practice yoga because it's been there for me, consistently, as a healing modality and friend during the challenges I've navigated thus far in my life – and because I know it will continue to be here in one way, shape or form for me for the rest of my days on this earth.
Ok dear friends, I invite you to write a little poem or letter about your WHY for whatever practice, hobby or creative project you're currently embarking on, and sending much love your way!


The fight over whether Gov. Brian Sandoval can be forced to implement a stalled gun control ballot initiative is one step closer to being resolved.
District Court Judge Joe Hardy, Jr. on Friday listened to arguments, including the state's motion for dismissal, before adjourning the hearing without a decision. The court has 90 days to issue a ruling on so-called Question 1, which passed at the ballot in 2016. The measure mandated federal background checks on private gun sales but was deemed unenforceable by Sandoval and Attorney General Adam Laxalt.
The attorney for the group behind the initiative, Nevadans for Background Checks, said he was in an odd position.
Ferrario said the state refuses to implement a law that was passed by the citizens. "For either personal or political reasons, the governor and the attorney general choose to stand back and do nothing," said Ferrario in the packed courtroom.
Attorneys for the state argued that the ballot initiative was poorly worded and that Nevada cannot force the background check requirement upon the federal government.
VanDyke said the FBI has refused to implement checks in Nevada four times — twice in writing and twice during phone calls.
VanDyke also said Nevada's Department of Public Safety (DPS) background check is more effective and less costly than the FBI's because DPS cross-checks the state's various databases.
Ferrario said there is no proof that the FBI actually said "no" to conducting background checks, and if the FBI said "no" it was because the state was not asking the right questions. Ferrario asserted that the FBI simply clarified it's position describing Nevada as a Point of Contact (POC) state — which means the state's DPS conducts background checks, not the FBI.
Laxalt's office contended in December 2016 that the ballot question could not be implemented because the FBI refused to conduct background checks on the basis that Nevada is one of 12 POC states.
The opinion also said the measure's amendment of the background check law would make "it a crime to engage in private sales or transfers of firearms" and that using DPS to conduct the background checks violated the wording of the measure.
Nevadans for Background Checks filed suit shortly after the Las Vegas shooting on Oct. 1 that left 58 concertgoers dead.
In a statement provided to The Nevada Independent last week, Sandoval called the lack of implementation "frustrating" and said that the best course going forward would be for the Legislature to approve the measure in state law once changes are allowed (three years after enactment) to require the state to do all background checks.

Neo Vivo iQOO smartphones are designed for the gaming enthusiasts
Varun Kesari
Just three months ago, Vivo surprised with the first mobile of its sub-brand iQOO designed especially for video games and that came with the same name without further additives. Now, it is the turn of the iQOO Neo, the second phone of the brand that is still focused on the gamer world, but one step down in terms of specifications.
Thus, the most affordable model of iQOO goes to integrate a Snapdragon 845 processor, somewhat inferior to the Vivo iQOO that came with a Snapdragon 855. Of course, the performance and, above all, the temperature of the device is ensured thanks to its cooling system dedicated.
The iQOO Neo arrives with an AMOLED screen of 6.38 inches with FullHD+ resolution (1080 x 2340), under which the fingerprint sensor is located. With a 19.5: 9 ratio, the screen-body ratio reaches 90% and, proof of this, is that the mobile stretches the side frames well, although the same does not occur in the lower area, where it is much more visible. For the upper part, the notch with the shape of a drop that shelters the front camera is reserved.
The smartphone comes in black and purple gradient colors, if we turn it we find the module of the camera in a vertical position, which gives shelter to the three sensors and the LED flash. Nothing else in this area beyond the mark because, as we said, the sensor goes to the front.
In the photographic section, the mobile bets on a triple camera configuration, with a main sensor of 12 MP, a wide angle of 8 MP and a depth sensor of 2 MP , a resolution that at first sight seems like something basic, about all taking into account that the 48 MP sensors start to be very frequent. It is clear that the iQOO Neo prefers to focus on other aspects, without forgetting, of course, the cameras. For its part, the front camera remains at 12 MP.
The performance of the Neo iQOO is the responsibility of the Snapdragon 845 processor, thus decreasing with respect to the iQOO that mounted a Snapdragon 855. It comes accompanied with different options of RAM and internal storage. Thus, in the first case, we can choose between 6 or 8 GB of RAM, while the memory varies between 64 and 128 GB.
If the iQOO Neo is for something, it is undoubtedly for play, and therefore has a dedicated cooling system consisting of two multilayer graphite slates that interspersed a steam chamber and an aluminum piece. According to the manufacturer, the phone can reach temperatures three degrees below other phones that also make up the Snapdragon 845.
The phone also has improvements related to performance, such as AI Turbo, Turbo Center, Turbo Net or Cooling Turbo. With a 4,500 mAh battery with 22.5W Flash Charge, it seems that autonomy will not be a problem, at least on paper. In fact, it is capable of reaching 50% of the load in just 30 minutes. As for the rest of the specifications, Android 9 Pie stands out with Funtouch OS 9 as the operating system,
The IQOO Neo comes in the black and purple colors with two options of RAM of 6 or 8 GB and other so many of internal memory, with 64 or 128 GB. Depending on the option chosen, the prices are as follows:
IQOO Neo of 6 GB of RAM with 64 GB of memory: 1798 yuan
IQOO Neo of 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of memory: 1998 yuan
IQOO Neo of 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of memory: 2,298 yuan
The mobile can be purchased already on the website of the manufacturer, although shipments will be made from July 8. At the moment it is available in the Chinese market and it is unknown if it will cross the borders of the Asian country. We will be attentive to this information to update the post as soon as it is available.

Up in the skies, soaring like a plane! Have you ever wondered after you take off and see the water below and the clouds all over, how far away you feel from the worries of life. A feeling of soaring up and a form of detachment from the mundane and the everyday?
You are being carried up thousands of feet, transported from one place to another and most people feel or do few things: Either they watch movies, sleep, or chat with fellow travelers. In those two or four or 13 hours, the plane is carrying you. Most people don't think about that much until there is turbulence…life is like that.
We get caught in cycles, routines and suddenly we experience turbulence. We feel helpless as we are not in control. However, the captain is still at the cockpit. He is still taking us to our destination and We Will LAND.
Let's try to soar and get detached from the negative. We have the God of the Universe who is flying our plane. And we can be sure we will reach our destination safe and sound because it is part of his mandate and he always delivers what he promises. Turbulence will come and go, but clear skies and peaceful days of quietness and victory are sure to follow.

The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) says that strict visa requirements in various countries are hurting the tourism industry and, in turn, damaging the World economy. David Scowsill, president of the WTTC, voiced his concerns at the council's annual summit in Tokyo, highlighting the freedom to travel as a key issue.
The WTTC and the United Nations World Tourism Organisation will voice their concerns to leaders of the G20 in May in order to persuade them to find better ways to balance the conflicting needs of national security and tourism. Travel and tourism industry leaders around the world are hoping to work together with governments to ease visa-entry procedures and help stimulate travel and create jobs.
"We cannot allow the interior ministries and security forces to block this. Every terrorist incident in the last 20 years has been perpetrated by a homegrown terrorist or someone with a right to live in that country," Scowsill said.
Scowsill cited the US as having lost more than USD$800 billion in tourist income as a result of the tighter immigration restrictions brought in after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Another major threat to tourism, according to Scowsill, is the increasing level of taxes imposed on airline passengers.
"We committed to campaign hard against punitive taxation of our industry," he said. "The aviation sector in particular has become a real target for raising taxation revenues, particularly with iniquitous, damaging policies in Europe. Air Passenger Duty in the UK, Germany and Austria started as an environmental tax. No longer. It is straight revenue income to the treasuries."
According to Scowsill and WTTC, the cost of traveling to the UK and other countries is damaging to the World economy. He also went onto say that UK airline taxes were hurting to the economies of other countries in the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa and Asia; UK visitor numbers have decreased as a result of increasing Air Passenger Duty tax.

A beautiful and very rare Persian Khorasan Kurdish rug, most probably woven by tribes in the Darreh Gaz area. In all likelihood, this was made for a Khan or tribal chief of a big Khamseh or confederation of tribes.
The large scale field motifs seem to represent blossoms and shields. The natural dyes that have been used have given this rug deep, rich colours, especially the green and yellow accompanied by two shades of light and deep blue. The weft is all wool while the warp is mixed wool with goat hair.
The Khorasani Kurdish region is found within the current northeastern borders of Iran and the southern borders of Turkmenistan, in the northern sector of what has historically been known as the Province of Khorasan.

Almost Yankees: The Summer of '81 and the Greatest Baseball Team You've Never Heard Of by J. David Herman (2019)
May 24, 2019 May 26, 2019 JT
Almost Yankees: The Summer of '81 and
the Greatest Baseball Team You've Never Heard Of
by J. David Herman
University of Nebraska Press, 2019
Labor disputes should never happen in baseball, but they do. In 1981, the sport faced a work stoppage in the middle of the season, forcing Major League Baseball to cancel games and reconfigure the playoffs once the dispute was settled. However, the big league strike didn't affect the Minor Leagues, and the Yankees' talented AAA affiliate took advantage of the spotlight. Armed with a pitching staff that was, in the mind of pitching coach Sammy Ellis, "better…than half the teams in the Major Leagues," the Columbus Clippers took the baseball world by storm by virtue of being the best team anyone could watch when the Major Leaguers walked out.
Author J. David Herman recounts the Clippers' 1981 season and the magic that it brought local fans in Almost Yankees: The Summer of '81 and the Greatest Baseball Team You've Never Heard Of. The team, managed by Frank Verdi, was full of guys who would go on to enjoy varying degrees of success at the MLB level like Dave Righetti, Steve Balboni, and Pat Tabler. There were also names that are not as well-known to modern fans, such as John Pacella, Tucker Ashford, and the author's hero, Marshall Brant.
Herman runs down the list, entertaining readers with stories from the players' careers but focusing mostly on their 1981 adventures. He also writes about journalists Jack Torry (Citizen-Journal) and Jim Massie (Columbus Dispatch), trainer Mark "Rookie" Letendre, and the Yankees' broadcast team of Phil Rizzuto, Bill White, Frank Messer, and Fran Healy. Interspersed in all of this are brief memories from the author's youth, memories of him listening to games on the radio and receiving advice from his dad: "Take life where you find it."
The Columbus Clippers headed to the International League's postseason Governor's Cup, but after six playoff games were called for weather, the IL declared the Clippers champions and ended the season. Herman turned his attention to the bigs, where the Yankees were battling opponents in the American League Division Series, AL Championship Series, and finally the World Series. He fast forwards in his own life to 1999, the Mariners' first game at Safeco Field in Seattle. To 2007 and the passing of his mother as the Giants play the World Series. To 2013 and a visit with his dad in a nursing home, where he "recalls the feeling of the ballpark and of spending time there with his son," singing the Columbus Clippers fight song. To 2017 and a more important game to the author than any the Clippers played in 1981—a game featuring his eight-year old son.
Baseball is magic, and Herman masterfully brings that magic to the page. If you want to revisit the innocence of falling in love with the game, read behind-the-scenes stories, learn about the guys that may have been household names in other organizations, pick up a copy and read Almost Yankees.

Eight O'Clock Jump Series Features Debbie Duncan, February 12
Twin Cities Uncategorized
February 10, 2016 February 13, 2016 Andrea Canter810
"Debbie is a master messenger deserving wider recognition." –Leigh Kamman, The Jazz Image
Walker West Music Academy continues its popular Eight O'Clock Jump concert series on Friday, February 12 (8 pm), with one of the most beloved jazz artists in the Twin Cities, vocalist Debbie Duncan. Winner of multiple Minnesota Music Awards (Best Female Jazz Vocalist, Best Jazz Vocalist, Best Female Performer, Best Jazz Group, Best Jazz CD) and the Minnesota Black Music Award (Best Female Jazz Vocalist), Debbie is known not only for her voice, but for her on-stage personality that makes her one of the most in-demand entertainers in the region. She will be backed by her exceptional cohorts — pianist Adi Yehshaya, bassist Jay Young and drummer Mac Santiago, the same band that peformed two weeks ago at the Winter Jazz Festival. Be advised– tickets are selling fast and most concerts in this series do sell out, so reserve today!

Born in Memphis, Debbie Duncan grew up in Detroit, where her parents surrounded her with their favorite jazz, gospel, folk, and classical recordings. From her earliest years, Debbie was steeped in Ella Fitzgerald, Joe Williams, Sarah Vaughan, Carmen McRae, Gloria Lynne, Dakota Staton, Mel Torme, Ray Charles, and Chris Connors. She was also exposed to heavy gospel during summers with her grandparents in Memphis and St. Louis. Although she always intended to sing, Debbie studied flute in high school, not auditioning for the school choir until her senior year. Still concentrating on flute as her major at Wayne State University, Debbie continued to study voice, ultimately joining the Wayne State Women's Chorale. Her vocal talent now at the forefront, soon she had a regular club gig and recorded back-up vocals for Mitch Ryder and Bob Segar. Moving to Los Angeles in 1976, Debbie had a seven-year stint at the Hungry Tiger and sang throughout the area club circuit. Eventually she worked with drummer Pete Johnson (formerly of Manhattan Transfer), and when he moved to Minneapolis, he convinced Debbie to join him for what was to be a six-week job at Rupert's Night Club in 1984. The short gig lasted seven years. Forming a quartet with Don Stille, Gary Raynor and Phil Hey, Debbie soon became known as the "Working-est Singer" in the Twin Cities, winning many Minnesota Music Awards as well as the MMA's first award as "Perpetually Outstanding Performer."
Debbie's performance resume includes opening for Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Stephane Grapelli, and appearing with Bobby Watson (Horizon), Mark Murphy, Von Freeman, Marlena Shaw, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Joe Henderson, Jimmy McGriff, John Hendricks and Kenny Werner. She's released five recordings, was a founding member of The Girls, appeared in an acclaimed role in the Ordway's production of Blues in the Night, had a weekly gig at Camp Bar with Mary Louise Knutson, and has appeared in several solo productions at the Capri Theater. One of the most frequent and popular solo performers at both the Dakota and old Artists Quarter, she's also performed locally with Dennis Spears, Ginger Commodore, Anthony Cox, the Tuesday Night Band and more. In spring 2015, she was on stage as a special guest with Delfeayo and Ellis Marsalis at the Dakota, and in June performed at Arnellia's and on the 6th Street Stage during the Twin Cities Jazz Festival.
The rightful heir to the legacy of Ella, Sassy, and the generation that defined the jazz diva, Debbie Duncan doesn't just stand up there and sing. Above all, she is a storyteller who always engages her audience. If she didn't sing, her shows would still be pure entertainment. But of course she sings like no one else.
Remaining concerts on the spring 2016 Eight O'Clock Jump season:
March 11, Stokely Williams
April 15, Atlantis Quartet
May 13, Nathan Hanson/Brian Roessler Duo
June 17, David Binney
The Walker West Eight O-Clock Jump series is funded in part by a Knights Challenge grant; for series tickets, more information about this series and about Walker West Music Academy, visit their website.

Q: LXD - How to execute a script inside a container from host I wrote a github pull script inside the running container so that the container can get the updated codes.
But how can I call this script from the host machine?
I have tried with something like this but with no success.
lxc exec container-name -- gitPull.sh
lxc exec container-name --sh -c "cd ~ && ll"

I have also tried to push a directory from host to lxd containers, but it won't copy the sub directory into the container.
Could any one help?
Many thanks!

A: When you run lxc exec on an Ubuntu container, you get a root shell and your home directory is /root.
If you are using a non-root account (like ubuntu from ubuntu:18.04), then you can get a shell into that account with
lxc exec mycontainer -- sudo --login --user ubuntu

And if you want to run a command as user ubuntu, then you can
$ lxc exec mycontainer -- sudo --login --user ubuntu whoami
ubuntu

You have a typo in lxc exec container-name --sh -c "cd ~ && ll". There should be a space after -- because -- is a special instruction to your host's shell which says that the lxc exec command should stop reading any subsequent options as options for lxc exec. For example, the following is wrong, because the -l option is processed by lxc exec instead of being given verbatim as a command to run in the container.
$ lxc exec mycontainer ls -l
Error: unknown shorthand flag: 'l' in -l

The correct would be
$ lxc exec mycontainer -- ls -l

You can push a directory from the host to the container by running
$ lxc file push --recursive /home/myusername/myfiles/ mycontainer/home/ubuntu/

The directory tree /home/myusername/myfiles/ on the host will get copied into the container mycontainer inside the (existing) directory /home/ubuntu/ (in that container).
