Steven Tyler Hits President Trump With Cease and Desist Over Rally Music

Aerosmith frontman and sometimes country singer Steven Tyler has issued a cease and desist letter demanding that President Trump stop using Aerosmith's music at his rallies — again.
Trump help one of his frequent campaign-style rallies at the Charleston Civic Center in West Virginia on Tuesday (Aug. 21), and Aerosmith's 1993 hit "Livin' on the Edge" played over the sound system as Trump's supporters filed into the arena. According to Variety, Tyler responded by having his lawyer, Dina LaPolt, send a cease and desist to the White House. Tyler alleges that Trump engaged in willful infringement by broadcasting the song, which Tyler co-wrote with Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry and Mark Hudson.
LaPolt claims Trump is violating Section 43 of the Lanham Act, as his use of the song "is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of such person with another person." LaPolt contends that by playing the song in a public arena, Trump and his organization are creating a false impression that Tyler is endorsing Trump's presidency.
Tyler previously took Trump to task during his presidential campaign in 2015 after the then-candidate used Aerosmith's "Dream On" several times at campaign rallies, claiming the real estate developer and former reality TV personality was violating his copyright. Performance rights organization BMI took Tyler's side and denied Trump's campaign the performance rights to the song, a fact Tyler's attorney references in the new cease and desist, writing:
As expressly outlined in the Previous Letters, Mr. Trump does not have our client's permission to use any of our client's music, including "Livin' On The Edge".
What makes this violation even more egregious is that Mr. Trump's use of our client's music was previously shut down, not once, but two times, during his campaign for presidency in 2015. Please see the Previous Letters sent on behalf of our client attached here as Exhibit A. Due to your receipt of the Previous Letters, such conduct is clearly willful, subjecting Mr. Trump to the maximum penalty under the law.
A different performing rights organization, ASCAP, administers the performance rights to "Livin' on the Edge," according to Variety. ASCAP has not weighed in on the matter publicly.

What to watch for: Honda Indy Toronto (2pm ET, NBCSN and Live Extra)
By Luke SmithJun 14, 2015, 12:00 PM EDT
For the fifth time in the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series season, Will Power will lead the field away from pole position in Toronto after winning the Verizon P1 Award in Saturday's qualifying session.
Despite flirting with elimination in the second stage of qualifying, the Penske driver managed to rally in the final Fast Six shootout to edge out teammates Simon Pagenaud and Juan Pablo Montoya at the top of the timesheets, handing himself first place on the grid.
The Honda Indy Toronto has evolved into a weekend-long festival of racing in 2015 with the flagship event being the main IndyCar race, which is live on NBCSN and Live Extra from 2pm ET on Sunday.
The green flag will fall at 3:08pm, and there are a number of key storylines to watch out for across the course of the race in Toronto as the brutal run of races dating back to the beginning of May finally comes to an end.
CAN POWER CONVERT POLE INTO VICTORY?
Will Power may have five pole positions to his name in 2015, but the defending IndyCar champion has not been so strong in race trim, winning just once at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis in May.
After failing to convert pole positions in St Petersburg, Detroit and Texas into a race win and with no podium finishes in the last three races, Power is in desperate need of a win on Sunday in Toronto if he is to stop Juan Pablo Montoya from breaking away at the top of the championship standings.
TORONTO COULD YIELD ANOTHER NEW WINNER
The start to the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series season has been highly unpredictable, with seven drivers sharing the nine race wins thus far – only Montoya and Scott Dixon are repeat winners.
However, Toronto could yet yield an eighth winner in ten races, given that a few high-profile names are without a victory so far this year. Simon Pagenaud's rotten luck has left him 11th in the championship, but from second at the start, the Frenchman could yet make his first visit to victory lane later today.
Helio Castroneves is also without a win in 2015, and although his task is far greater from seventh place on the grid, the Brazilian driver will still be hoping to get up the order and into the mix after showing a good pace in qualifying.
BLIND RUNNING IN PUSH-TO-PASS STAKES
Toronto marks the first race following INDYCAR's decision to make data regarding push-to-pass usage private to the respective teams, meaning that we will no longer know when drivers are using a boost, nor how many they have left over.
The thinking is that it will increase overtaking and stop drivers from using it as a defensive tool at the end of a race, but it will be intriguing to see just how effective it is during its first run this weekend in Toronto.
DALY HOPES TO DO HINCH PROUD AT HOME
James Hinchcliffe hasn't missed an IndyCar race in Toronto since he was 18 months old – and he wasn't going to let a major accident at Indianapolis end his streak. After being given permission by his doctors, the Canadian will be in attendance for the race as the grand marshal, and will once again give the command for the start of the race as he did in Texas.
His place on the grid has been taken by Conor Daly in the no. 5 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports car for what is likely to be the final time this season. Ryan Briscoe is poised to fill in for Hinchcliffe at the final six races, giving Daly – complete with a helmet honoring the Mayor – one final chance to impress.
The IndyCar rookie put in a particularly impressive display in Detroit, charging through the field in the late stages, and a similar performance in Toronto today will undoubtedly leave many of the teams with plenty to ponder heading towards the end of the season.
MORE RAIN?
"Here's one for all you guys," Graham Rahal asked his followers this morning. "What's the record number of IndyCar events in one year that it rained?! I'm thinking 2015!"
Yes, it is raining once again, even in the absence of MST rain magnet Tony DiZinno who has been in Le Mans for the weekend. Although the weather managed to clear up before the warm up, light rain began to fall towards the end of the session, suggesting that we could be in for another chaotic event in Toronto.
The warm-up on Sunday morning saw Andretti's Carlos Munoz lead the way, posting a fastest lap time of 1:00.2119 to finish just clear of Graham Rahal and Conor Daly.
Simon Pagenaud finished as the lead Penske in seventh, with Montoya and Power ending up 14th and 16th respectively as light rain affected running towards the end of the 30 minute session.
Be sure to join us at 2pm ET on NBCSN and Live Extra for live coverage of the Honda Indy Toronto.

AI Is Here – Are You Ready?
Artificial intelligence (AI) will redefine the next generation. Meanwhile it is transforming many areas in our lives, such as the way we do business, enhancing public security, assisting with medical diagnosis and theater operation, and adding the human touch to many automated services.
According to wealth management firm Merrill Lynch, the value of the global robotics and AI market will reach $153 billion in 2020. ChinAfrica takes a look at some of the areas being impacted by AI.

Q: Why does Twitter's API provide a way to programmatically create "Likes," if it goes against their Automation rules? I was looking into using Twitter's official REST API for automatically liking specific posts that fit certain conditions.
I looked into the API reference to see if this was possible—and in fact, there is and endpoint for doing this:

*

*"POST favorites/create" - API reference
However, looking at Twitter's policies—specifically "Automation rules", it would seem that automating this behavior is explicitly prohibited:

D. Automated actions you take on Tweets or accounts
Automated likes: You may not like Tweets in an automated manner.

This leads to my question: If automating likes in Twitter goes explicitly against the rules, why do they provide an endpoint for this behavior in their official API for developers?

A: I have written custom Twitter apps.  If I want users of my app to be able to "Like" a tweet, I call the Twitter API function that allows me to do so.

How are you supposed to do this?
Is that it? I've never done it before...
But I'd like to continue playing this thread.
Um, I think that's right. I don't remember where it came from, so I'll take your word for it. Go ahead.
Thank you, Firefoot. I wasn't sure either, so, oh well.
My qoute is:
"I weren't droppin' no eaves, sir. Honest!"
True. He said that in the movie, but different in the book.
Incorrect, Fingolfin.
In the movie, Samwise says: "I haven't been droppin' no eaves sir, honest!"
In the books, Samwise says something different: "Eavesdropping, sir? I haven't been droppin' eaves, as they're aint any eaves at Bag End."
So I go again? Yay! Alright, here is my quote:

"Wild men walk fast..."
Correct! YOur go.
Sorry for the delay, I had to find a good one:
"Here is a thing unheard of, an Elf will go underground where a Dwarf dare not."
True. Gimli at the paths of the dead.
False, Thorongil.
At the Paths of the Dead, Gimli says:
"Here is a thing unheard of, an Elf will go underground and a Dwarf will not."
So, sorry.
But here is a new quote:
"Look out for me, especially at very unlikely times."
False? I think...
Correct, Sirithheruwen! It was close, though.
Your go,

"But why is the rum gone?" Ha, just kidding!
"...In the green fields of Lebennin!..."
"But why is the rum gone?" is a true quote if you want to know...
And the other one is false, I think.
Well, of course it's a real quote, just not a real one from LOTR...right?!
It was actually true - from the book. In the chapter, The Last Debate, Legolas sings it. Hold on while I find and/or think of another one.
Take care of yourselves!
Hmmm...lengthen by 1 character...
Why of course, it must be false, Sirithheruwen.
I am alway's right, too!
I think it's true. I believe Gandalf says it in the Hobbit.
NO! IT'S FALSE!!!!! I MUST WIN!!!!!!! IT MUST BE FALSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Siri, could you straighten out our argument?
I shall certainly straighten out your arguement as best as I can.
Sorry to disapoint you bilbo_baggins, but it is indeed true. Gandalf said in the Hobbit (and I quote):
Good-bye! Be good, take care of yourselves--and DON'T LEAVE THE PATH!
If you want further referance, it is in the second-to-the-last paragraph at the end of the chapter "Queer Lodgings".
So, your go Firefoot!
We were all at fault.
I believe it's false. Gandalf says something to that effect, but these are not the exact words.

Olorin, that's how the game should be played. The quote makes the reader remember something like it, and maybe it's been changed, so the guess of the reader will be wrong, and the writer may post another qoute.

"Let the orcs lie."
Since it is my favorite thing to say:
False! I boldly declare it false!
(I'll get it right one of these days)
I believe it is true, but I don't know who says it. I think (if I remember correctly) that one of the three hunters says it at Amon Hen regarding the orcs around Boromir's fallen body.
Keep it up bilbo_baggins!
It's true all right! Look around Helm's Deep... Any more guesses?
Quote: "Look around Helm's Deep..." That's what I thought! But I couldn't find it before. Gandalf said it, before they left for Isengard.

As you've probably gathered by now, we use only in-season ingredients that we can source locally. This means we get to be really creative with our dishes – as they change day-to-day to stay in sync with the best tasting in season ingredients.
Our food philosophy is driven by simplicity. We would rather have you shocked by how delicious our tomato soup tastes than impress you with an exotic ingredient or flowery menu description.
We don't just buy a few cases of tomatoes, or a bunch of kale when it's available or convenient. Our entire menu depends on what is local and in season. This means that our menu changes constantly to evolve with the seasons.
We rely on the hardworking farmer who grew our turnips for flavor, the soil that produced our beets, the chicken that laid our eggs. This is core to how we make food. We can't promise you that anything you have from Commune will taste exactly the same one day to the next. However, we can guarantee the quality we achieve and the depth of flavors is consistently unrivaled.
We work day-to-day with ingredients that have just been picked early that morning, or just been laid by a chicken. This fact defines our menu.
Our menu changes day-to-day. Because what is in season changes day to day, not every 3 months or 3 years.
With that said, some of the items you will most likely find on our menu include: salads, soups, sandwiches, crepes, breads, and pastries and so many other delicious dishes!
We offer a selection of both meat and vegetarian dishes.

El monestir de Tholing (en tibetà: མཐོ་ལྡིང་དགོན་པ; Wylie: mtho lding dgon pa; en xinès: 托林寺; en pinyin: tuōlín sì) és un monestir o gompa del budisme tibetà —branca tibetana del budisme vajrayana— situat a Tholing, prop de la frontera índia de Ladakh, al xian de Zanda, en un penya-segat del canó del Sutlej. Va ser construït l'any 997 d.C. per Yeshe Oe, el segon rei del regne de Guge. En tibetà Tholing significa «surant en el cel per sempre» i es reflecteix en la ubicació del monestir a una altitud de 3.800 m. El complex inclou tres temples, el temple Yeshe Oe, el Lhakhang Karpo i el Dukhang, i a l'interior es conserven frescos antics ben conservats.

Història
El monestir és un dels primers temples construïts en l'inici de la «segona difusió» del budisme al Tibet. Va ser construït l'any 997 dC pel rei Yeshe Oe, que va propiciar buscar joves perquè es convertirien en noviciats del gompa. Amb aquest propòsit, va finançar el viatge d'en Rinchen Zangpo a Caixmir i lÍndia per estudiar i traduir; va ser un dels 21 joves monjos que viatjaren a Vikramshila Mahavihara, una institució especialitzada en el tantra, per a la seva formació. Només dos monjos, Richen Zangpo i Lekpai Sherap, van sobreviure a les condicions climàtiques severes, les mossegades de serp i malalties, i van poder tornar al Tibet.

El rei va convidar al mestre indi Atiśa que va passar tres anys en aquest monestir i amb el seu immens coneixement del budisme, va reviure el budisme a la zona. Va fundar la Kadampa a l'indret, i va adoptar mètodes molt austeres. Més tard, els seus deixebles van ser els qui van establir la Kagyu —base del Gelug— amb èmfasi en les tècniques de meditació físiques i mentals.

Tholing va esdevindre en un «portal al Tibet» per als estudiosos de l'Índia on viatjar i des d'on difondre les idees religioses-culturals del budisme. Patrocinat pel rei de Guge, aquest monestir budista va marcar l'evolució del budisme al Tibet ascètic, influenciat pels erudits budistes de l'Índia. En el seu temps, el monestir va ser el més influent a la regió i, la influència del regne de Guge, i el centre monàstic de Tholing va arribar a ser coneguda a l'Índia des de Caixmir fins a Assam.

El monestir es va donar a conèixer internacionalment després que el Lama Govinda, un monjo budista d'Alemanya, va fer-hi una visita el 1948 i va presentar les imatges, estàtues i pintures del monestir al món exterior. Durant els anys de la Revolució Cultural, dues capelles del  van ser utilitzades per emmagatzemar gra. Totes dues presenten importants murals, però els de Lakkhang Karpo destaquen més encara.La resta dels temples i edificis van ser destruïts o abandonats i van caure en ruïnes, encara que es conserven moltes imatges i desenes de murals d'estil tibetà en bon estat.

Arquitectura

El complex monàstic està format per varis edificis rectangulars que conformen un recinte emmurallat mirant cap a l'est. Fou construït amb maons de fang i el seu estil es va convertir en el precursor de temples similars construïts en el regne. Abans de la Revolució Cultural tenia sis capelles i s'hi troben pintures de retrats de Tsong Khappa, Sakya Panchen i molts altres monjos budistes que daten de segles XV i XVI.

D'entre els temples existents, destaca el Temple Yeshe Oe (temple Gyatsa o casa d'or), construït amb tova i amb torres molt treballades, de maons de fang vermell. Te forma d'un mandala amb diverses capelles; dues d'elles van sobreviure a la demolició durant la revolució i alberguen exquisits murals. També hi ha la sala d'un museu a la capella d'entrada.

El Dukhang —Saló d'Actes— és d'un sol pis i té pintures de Yeshe Oe i d'altres personatges importants com monjos Gelugpa i un lama, pintades amb considerable detall, en una postura asseguda, en aparença tranquil·la, i mostrant la roba i joieria de l'època. Aquestes pintures a les parets són considerades com un «excel·lent art mural» i es remunten als segles XV i XVI, presentant una fusió d'estils del Tibet, Caixmir i l'art del poble Newa del Nepal.

El Lhakhang Karpo —Capella Blanca— té el sostre molt alt amb pilars de fusta de cedre de l'Himàlaia i està pintat de vermell. El sòl és de llambordes mentre que el sostre està decorat amb dissenys geomètrics. Els murals, que daten dels segles XV i XVI, estan ben conservats, incloses les figures masculines de la dreta i les femenines de l'esquerra.

Join Chris Mattia for an in-depth discussion in this video Before watching this course, part of Teaching Techniques: Blended Learning.
- [Voiceover] This course is targeted at teachers who are interested in blending the best of face-to-face and online instruction. The key themes for this course are rethinking the instructional design of traditional courses, promoting student ownership of learning and creating engaging collaboration both in and out of the classroom. To follow along with this course, it would be helpful to have a Google gMail account to access the web-bases applications used throughout this course. We'll touch on a few desktop applications but I've tried to select tools that run equally well on both Mac OS and Windows.
So you can follow along from either platform. We'll explore ways to leverage mobile devices running recent version of iOS or Android. These would include common smartphones and tablets that you and your students likely already have. In the last couple of chapters we'll look at ways to blend the best of your campus learning management system with open systems. We'll avoid the specifics of working in any one particular learning management system and instead, focus on how to use them in a blended context.
For the open tools we'll use an implementation of the Domain of One's Own system that was started at the University of Mary Washington running on stateu.org. To get the most out of this course I'd suggest watching through the entire course with a copy of your own course syllabus. As we explore tools and techniques jot down notes on your syllabus for how you could adapt these same fundamental ideas to your course.

Best Camping View of The City
Kirby Cove
The most clichéd things you can possibly associate with San Francisco are the Golden Gate Bridge and fog over the bay, but looking out at the bridge in a thick fog from Kirby Cove, with the skyline of the city peeking through, is just as magical as it is stupidly clichéd. Although you have to make your way to the Marin Headlands to experience this view, the Kirby Cove campgrounds are well worth the adventure into that home base of the anti-vaccination movement, just for their gorgeous view of the city.

Pickup basketball is a weird social phenomenon where a bunch of strangers meet at a designated spot during a designated time to engage in an athletic competition governed by de facto rules established in some mythic rulebook.

A Long, Strange Trip
An originator of acid rock in the '60s, Tommy Hall used LSD to expand his consciousness. He's still psychedelic.

Tommy Hall is nursing a Coke at a corner table at the Hemlock Tavern, a Polk Street music dive. The guru of '60s psychedelic rock doesn't drink alcohol. Booze brings you down, and Hall believes you should always be working on a high.
The jukebox is playing "You're Gonna Miss Me," the biggest hit by Hall's band, the 13th Floor Elevators. The 1966 single made it onto the soundtrack of the film High Fidelity and the prized garage-rock box set Nuggets, helping the group gain massive cred with young garage-rock fiends.
The Elevators' jug player, philosopher, and lifetime LSD devotee either pretends not to notice his song or genuinely can't hear it over the din of early arrivers for the club's headliners, Mammatus. The metal band is one of many local artists whose stoned sound has ancestral ties to Hall's sonic ideology.
For many of his 66 years, Hall has been pursuing intellectual enlightenment through acid. He began that quest in the mid-'60s with the 13th Floor Elevators. Music scholars now note that the Elevators pushed an aggressive psychedelia that stood out against the feel-good artists of the time, pre-dating both punk and new wave. The band combined lingering, futuristic garage-rock jams with propulsive rock 'n' roll rhythms, grooving well with the counterculture's burgeoning drug experimentation.
Three elements made the Elevators truly transcendent: singer Roky Erickson's manic, mercurial vocals; Hall's invention of the electric jug — which made inexplicably cool sound effects based on the reverberations of his voice; and Hall's beautiful, image-rich lyricism promoting the spirituality of getting high. Of the last, he says now that he was combating the teenybopper attitude prevalent during the British Invasion. "We were trying to get into the results of acid," he says, "to get into the results of the universe."
Four decades after the Elevators collapsed, experimental garage rock and metal have enjoyed a huge resurgence in the Bay Area, and many of the leading acts have been influenced by Hall's band: droning rockers Wooden Shjips, garage punks Thee Oh Sees and Ty Segall, and pop songwriter Kelley Stoltz, to name a few. The Elevators' cult following is far from regional: Danger Mouse, the producer behind Gnarls Barkley and Beck, told The New York Times that he greatly admired the Elevators' mix of common melodies and left-field sonic adventures.
When he was playing with the Elevators, Hall made it a rule to drop acid every time someone picked up an instrument. From all reports, he didn't stop dosing regularly until very recently, when he lost his LSD connection and had to stick with pot. Hall says he's holding a bag of mushrooms at his apartment, a one-room efficiency in a sketchy Tenderloin residential hotel. He's saving that stash for the final breakthrough on his current project, a book revealing divine patterns in the solar system he's been working out in his head for years.
Hall still has very clear ideas about what makes a band psychedelic. That's why he's at the Hemlock to see Mammatus, an underground band he first heard at Amoeba Music, and one he believes is carrying on the tradition of trip music. These musicians "flash" to a higher consciousness, he says, darting a chalky hand across his scraggly Merlin beard. "It's real music," he adds. "The rest is just a bunch of noise."
Hall's offbeat observations about music make him an engrossing conversationalist. He intellectualizes songwriting to levels far beyond the average musician, and gives almost holy meaning to his favorite artists. But he also unleashes a torrent of information independent of whoever is on the listening end, the result of years of sustained drug use. Talking with him is like flipping on multiple public affairs programs midway through the discussion. It's challenging to comprehend everything he's saying. Pay attention, though, and you can sort salient points and philosophical nuggets from the sometimes intolerant — and occasionally racist — ramblings.
With a ravenous appetite for higher learning, Hall could have been a flawed yet significant cultural signpost, a rock 'n' roll Timothy Leary. Instead his lifestyle teeters closer to another visionary rock 'n' roll drug casualty, Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett.
Despite his struggles, however, Hall is still a fascinating figure in musical history. It's not often that you encounter someone who so fiercely believes rock 'n' roll is a voyage to the beyond. But it's been a difficult journey, one that isn't without its casualties.
"Most bands are just in it for entertainment," music industry vet and Elevators fan Bill Bentley says, "but the Elevators gambled on it with their lives and they got squashed."
If the Great American Music Hall has the equivalent of a VIP section, Tommy Hall is perched in it, a plaid flannel shirt hanging on his hunched frame. It's the day after Halloween, and Roky Erickson is the headliner.
Erickson's career as a solo artist was given new life with the 2005 documentary You're Gonna Miss Me, which propelled the Elevators back into public discourse while showing the damage caused by methodical drug use. Erickson was the group's most serious victim, and his communication skills are delicate these days. Nonetheless, he's a cause célèbre in certain rock circles and has sold out the Great American tonight — in part because this performance promises to be a historic one. Erickson's set list will include 13th Floor Elevators songs, which he hasn't played live since the late '60s, when he started forgetting his lyrics onstage and wearing a Band-Aid over the "third eye" on his forehead.
Upstairs, Hall sits incognito near the soundman, flanked by his closest friends, husband and wife George Ripley and Priscilla Lee, who are wearing their 13th Floor Elevators shirts for the occasion.
Ripley warned earlier that Hall had refused to perform tonight. The Elevators' wordsmith, who invented the electric jug's spectra effects, is strangely dismissive these days about his role in the group. Hall says it was his limited abilities on a musical instrument that forced him to put everything into the Elevators' lyrics and ideology. "I was mainly trying to advance a philosophy so I could take over the whole acid thing," he says. "The jug occupied a position."

CSI EDGES ROSEMONT IN SEE-SAW STRUGGLE, 75-70
The College of Staten Island women's basketball team got back in the win column today, scoring a hard-fought, 75-70, win over Rosemont College in the Consolation Game of the Susquehanna University Pepsi Tip-Off Tournament played in Selinsgrove, PA. The win lifted the Dolphins to 2-3 overall, while the Ravens fell to 0-3 to start the season.
There were 10 ties and 20 lead changes in the game, and in the first half, CSI grabbed an early lead before they would be forced to come back on a pair of occasions. After scoring 36 points in their loss yesterday, RC's Liz Coyne was on fire in the early stages, scoring 15 of the Ravens' opening 19 points, giving the team a 19-10 lead at the 11:44 mark, but CSI came roaring back.
Two baskets by Samantha Flecker got CSI started on a 10-0 run that gave CSI the lead, setting the stage for the recurring theme all afternoon. CSI parlayed the comeback into a 23-21 lead, but RC swung back, taking another sizable 32-25 lead on a Coyne inside drive at 3:52. Again, CSI contested, closing the half on an 11-0 run to take a 36-32 lead into the lockers. Flecker scored another four points in the run, and CSI added a Megan Myhre three as well.
In the second frame, poor shooting and another poor turn from the free-throw line crippled the Dolphins and the Ravens took advantage on the glass, earning a series of second-chance points in the process. A 9-0 run by RC, capped by a Jasmyn Parker jumper gave RC a 46-43 lead, and later, the team took its biggest lead of the frame, 68-64, on a Leilani Naone-Carter jumper in the lane. CSI was also hit hard, as injuries knocked out both Flecker and Victoria Gallinaro.
Still, CSI had room for another comeback, and again made their move, closing the game on an 11-2 run. First, Victoria Crea jammed in a lay-up, and CSI then took the lead on a Crea three-point play the hard way. After a missed three-pointer, CSI followed with a big short jumper by Ashley Iannacone with the shot clock almost at zero, giving CSI a 71-68 lead with just 55 ticks remaining. CSI forced another miss, but a big rebound by Curtrena Goff sent her to the line and she made both free-throws with 20 seconds remaining. Forced to foul, the Ravens put Gallinaro on the line, who entered the game just moments before from the locker room. Struggling from the line all season, the junior made both ends of her free-throws, giving CSI a 73-70 edge.
A costly turnover by CSI allowed RC another chance to tie the game after a miss, but CSI's Christina Pasaturo corralled a rebound and was fouled with five seconds left, and the frosh made both ends as well for the final points, icing the game.
CSI shot 45.8% from the field (27-59) but were once again plagued by a frigid stretch from the charity stripe at 17-31 (55%) and the team was forced into 16 turnovers. RC shot just 33.3% (26-78), but owned a monster 55-52 advantage on the boards.
Pasaturo led all Dolphins with 18 points and 9 rebounds, while Gallinaro finished with 12 markers in 23 minutes. Coyne finished with 19 points and a team high 11 rebounds for RC.
CSI returns to action on Tuesday evening in their home and conference opener against Hunter College at the Sports & Recreation Center at 5:30pm.

After a difficult year last year (I apologise for no postings) I asked for 2017 to be full of new and exciting experiences and….wham!.. the universe came right back with its own humorous response…. ..Eels and Zampogna for you!
Eels or 'anguille' are pretty self-explanatory and they came mixed in with other deep-fried fish & prawns served as part of some delicious Venetian-style bar snacks called 'cicchetti' (pronounced 'chick-etti'). We were taking a New Year's break in Comacchio a small town south of Venice in the Po Delta – otherwise known, or rather unbeknownst to me, as the eel capital of Italy.
Zampogna on the other hand are not edible but are a type of ancient bagpipe from central and southern Italy made of goat hide and whose sound has been likened to a 'tribe' or flock of bleeting goat & sheep….bleeting in tune obviously!
What were Zampogna doing over here in Comacchio I wondered. The charismatic Ambrogio Sparagna and his band were on their annual Christmas & New Year tour – playing haunting ancient melodies to ensure that Italy's pastoral culture is kept alive.
He and his band were staying in the same hotel as us on the canal front just 5 minutes walk from the concert hall – what luck as the temperature had dropped well into the minus degrees!
The hotel is well-known not only for its warm friendly atmosphere but also for its home-cooking. As we all gathered to eat that night around a roaring fire, we were offered 'anguilla' in many guises including roasted or, as we had it, mixed with cabbage and a hint of cinnamon. I was slightly apprehensive I must say, but found it surprisingly delicate and utterly delicious. The band meanwhile were enjoying a hearty and noisy meal of roast eel and polenta. I can't remember the name of the local red wine, but everyone certainly sampled a glass or three!
Apart from being able to buy marinated eel or fish on every corner, the town is beautiful…a little Venice and a dream for any photographer or cinematographer with its stunning light, reflections, views…..and history.
I hesitate to mention Sophia Loren in the same breath as eels, but rumour has it that she was fascinated by eels and thus chose to star as a worker at an eel-pickling factory in Soldati's film 'La Donna del Fiume', filmed here in Comacchio.
In the film you see the real-life atmospheric scenes of flaming walls of spit-roasting eels and when we went round the local museum, now housed in the same fish factory (Manifattura dei Marinati), we saw this bank of fireplaces. From October to December the twelve fireplaces are stoked up once more and you can eat roasted eels as they used to do.
We also watched black & white archive footage of traditional eel-fishing using the famed (in the eel world that is!) Comacchio fish weirs as traps. Once caught, the eels were netted out of the traps and stored in hand-woven baskets submerged in water.
When ready for pickling, the fishermen pulled out the eels, decapitated them (harsh viewing!), then handed them to the women. The women then skewered and roasted them on enormous spits before pickling them in vinegar, salt and water and storing in barrels or cans. A fascinating glimpse into Comacchio's history.
One last piece of interesting 'eel info' comes from the Art world .. ……I had no idea there could be so many eel stories! A new theory has appeared recently concerning Leonardo da Vinci's 'Last Supper' and the food Jesus and his disciples were eating.
After Pinin Brambilla's impressive 20-year restoration of the 'L'Ultima Cena' (hanging in Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milano), fine details once hidden under centuries of damage have now come to light.
John Varriano a noted professor of art history, has suggested that what appeared to be a generic type of fish on the table more accurately resembles eel……either roasted or grilled and garnished with sliced oranges.
Leonardo – as other painters – would often paint details of their own lives into their art. So although perhaps a more traditional meal would have been more authentic, he chose to change the menu to suit his and Renaissance tastes.
Certainly orange to accompany fish was a feature in Italian cuisine by the early sixteenth century……and eels were especially popular in Renaissance Italy because they could survive out of water for days, were easily transported and could be preserved in brine.
Added to which, according to writings by Bartolomeo Scappi – a 16th century Italian humanist and food connoisseur, the best eels came from Comacchio!
For my recipe below I've used prawns to replica our 'cicchetti' – I thought it wasn't easy for most of us to find eel. I've also added strips of pumpkin because that's what was added to our plate of 'cicchetti' and made a delicious extra.
Meanwhile I found a 15th century eel recipe which also used cinnamon, so I've added a touch of cinnamon to the batter plus a bitter orange marmalade dipping sauce as a modern nod to Leonardo.
Marinate the prawns in a bowl with the orange juice and zest, salt and pepper. Chill in the fridge for about an hour.
Take the pumpkin and with a peeler or sharp knife shave off thin slices. Keep to one side.
Take a plastic bag and put in the plain flour and cinnamon, plus a pinch of salt and shake.
Melt about ½ jar of marmalade in a small pan, adding water if necessary to make a dipping sauce. Keep warm.
Heat some vegetable oil in a high-sided pan – to about 60cm or enough to be sure to cover the prawns.
Remove prawns from the fridge and drain well.
Check the oil is hot enough by adding a small piece of bread – if it sizzles it's ready.
First fry the pumpkin shavings, a spoonful at a time. Remove when lightly coloured and keep warm on kitchen paper.
Now put a handful of prawns in the flour mixture and give a good shake. Then remove, shake off any excess and pop into the hot oil (be sure to only fry a few at a time otherwise they'll be soggy).
Fry for about 3 minutes or until they're well coloured and crisp.
Drain on kitchen paper and repeat with the rest of the prawns.
Serve on a platter with slivers of pumpkin and the warm marmalade dipping sauce.
And imagine yourself on the canal-front of Comacchio sipping a glass of white wine and snacking on 'cicchetti'……it's Italy!


Last summer, the oldest independent feminist bookstore in North America, Amazon Bookstore Cooperative in Minneapolis, looked like it had taken its final beating and would be closing its doors for good. Founded as a cooperative in 1970, the feminist bookstore has thrived on political and social involvement, local love of a good bookstore, and a good underdog struggle. In 1998, Amazon in Minneapolis sued Amazon.com for trademark infringement, and the two sides came to a settlement, which was effectively a resignation for the independent bookstore. Ten years later, Amazon Bookstore Cooperative still received ten to fifteen phone calls a day for Amazon.com. Amazon Bookstore Cooperative spent over ten years treading water against the threat of being pulled into Amazon.com's undertow.
How did you become an owner?
I stepped in when it was just a few weeks away from closing, because I've always wanted to run a bookstore and due to some fortuitous circumstances I had the time and means to do it.
What was your relationship to Amazon before coming to be the owner?
I was previously a customer, although not a frequent one.
Will the store's focus or areas of interest be modified under your ownership?
I like to think the store will be the same, only better. Since I edit lesbian fiction that is one area that has vastly expanded. I've added a gender studies area and am building up the stock of books for trans and bi people. We don't stock the NY Times Bestseller list, because I don't think that's what people look for when they come here.
What is the literary community of Minneapolis like?
I've only been involved in the literary community in a small way for a couple of years, and it's just since taking over the store in July that I'm getting to know it better. I'd say it's one of the most vibrant literary communities in the country, partially because of the Loft Writing Center. There are writing groups, reading groups and book clubs everywhere. It's pretty fragmented though, and that is one thing we might be able to provide -- an informal focal point for writers/readers. They may not know each other, but hopefully eventually I'll know them.
How has the LGBTQ literary community evolved?
Since I only came out 2 years ago I can't speak to this.
You say on the website that your store is much more than a bookstore. What does that mean?
I want True Colors to be a resource for the community. We have a great space downstairs that is underutilized, and I'm making it available to all types of organizations and groups. For example, Diva Riot holds free financial seminars for women. Ellen Hart and Lori Lake are teaching writing classes downstairs. I'm talking with District 202 about using the space for events. We'll be having children's programming in the summer -- not necessarily reading groups, but activity focused programming. It's a welcoming place where people can come and chat about books or whatever. I included Sweet Honey and V-day write-ups in my newsletters for months, and gave them advertising space in the store, as I've done with other events for the LGBT community. I want to partner with Chrysalis so they know I have books on coming out for women, for example.
What are some changes that True Colors is implementing?
We're trying to reach out to the community more.
How has the identity of the bookstore changed over time?
I don't think the identity has changed -- it was founded as a feminist/lesbian store and it still is one.
With changes in identity and sexual politics, what are some ways that the bookstore responds?
Well, one obvious way is in the selection we carry. The store really wasn't very welcoming to the trans community, for example, and I've added a new section for them. Gay marriage, women's rights, religion are all areas that I'm focusing on. I think I have a more in-depth feminist selection than the store did earlier -- my definition of feminism is broader than equality under the law. Feminism is also a struggle against the media and consumer pressures put on women, and I find books that address those areas. I'm bringing in more books for LGBT youth, too, and books on coming out.
What are some of the challenges that have come with taking over ownership of the bookstore?
The challenges are those that face any new business, but are perhaps more pressing because of the fact that Amazon has been an icon known around the world for almost 40 years. There was huge publicity around the fact that the store was closing, but not so much about us staying open. Getting the word out that we're still here is our biggest challenge, that and trying to figure out how to get customers in the store in these difficult economic times. Personally, being the bookkeeper, event planner, community contact, PR person without any help is overwhelming. I have just one employee because I can't afford to hire more, and I'm not even paying myself yet. I spend at least 12 hours a day on store business, 7 days a week.
I don't think I could name just one book as my favorite. I've favorites in lots of genres. If you told me I could take just one book to a desert island I'd be paralyzed with indecision.

Baselworld is the world's biggest watch and jewelry trade show, held annually at the large trade-fair site of Switzerland's third biggest city. Hotel prices skyrocket and trendy locations get booked months in advance as the city of 170,000 bordering France and Germany swells with foreign and Swiss visitors.
Art Basel in June may be glitzier, but Baselworld wins hands down when it comes to commerce. Attracting up to 1,800 exhibitors from more than 40 countries in a total space of just over 1.5 million square feet, the show eclipses the smaller, but more exclusive, Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) held each January in Geneva.
Leading independent watch brands like Rolex, Breitling and Patek Philippe are backed up by big groups like Swatch (Breguet, Omega, Tissot, Swatch and more); LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (Tag Heuer, Zenith and Hublot), as well as top Japanese manufacturers Citizen and Seiko.
But the show also hosts companies in jewelry, precious stones, pearls and clocks, as well as for all forms of equipment for those industries, including watch components and even precision engineering machine tools.
The Basel trade fair is easily Switzerland's biggest, yet it is located surprisingly centrally. In 2013, its exhibition space was substantially extended with new 430 million Swiss franc, or $432.3 million, halls designed by local star architects Herzog & de Meuron.
What to do when not looking at watches and jewelry:
Art has always been big in Basel given the philanthropic plutocrats who made their billions in drugs and chemicals. While Art Basel draws thousands, the year-round Kunstmuseum is probably Switzerland's best art gallery, recently extended with an award-winning new building. Not far away in the leafy suburb of Riehen is the private Beyeler Foundation, another world-renowned collection that is also about to gain its own new extension.
The Kunstmuseum reopened last year after a lengthy closure to allow for the renovation of the landmark main building along with completion of the annex. Its collection encompasses about 4,000 paintings, sculptures, installations and videos as well as 300,000 drawings and prints from seven centuries. Apart from Renaissance masterpieces from the upper Rhine valley, the collection includes a fine sampling of Impressionist and Expressionist work from France, Germany and beyond. The new extension, across the street and connected via an underground passage, is devoted to more contemporary pieces, vividly displayed on its very large, uncluttered wall spaces.

Opening hours: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily; Wednesdays until 8 p.m.
Other pursuits:
Local shopping has suffered badly as the mighty Swiss franc has led even wealthy consumers to make the short hop over the border to France or Germany, where prices are much lower. But the winding streets around the Marktplatz are still an attractive area for small independent boutiques, while the alleys around the cathedral ooze their Middle Ages serenity.
For many, Basel's biggest draw is its dominant river Rhine, which does a rough dog's leg from west to northbound in the city's confines. There are dozens of scenic viewpoints along the city's three main bridges, as well as numerous attractive Rhine-side walks. Among the best is the new promenade taking shape by Novartis' architecturally striking campus, or the riverside path by Roche's headquarters, now unmistakably conspicuous from virtually everywhere in the city because of its stepped skyscraper, now the tallest building in Switzerland.

NUEVO LAREDO, Mexico —
When U.S. officials walked about 200 asylum seekers south across the bridge from Texas last week, the migrants were clutching court paperwork, planning to stay in Mexico as they pursue their cases.
But their hopes fizzled as soon as they viewed their temporary home: a trash-strewn parking lot at the edge of the bridge. The treeless concrete expanse, wedged between the river and a Mexican immigration building, was already packed with 250 returnees, some of whom had been there for 10 days.
This was not what U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials had promised migrants under the Trump administration's "Remain in Mexico" program. Designed to prevent asylum seekers from skipping court and disappearing into the U.S. illegally, the program requires them to await the outcome of their cases in Mexico while allowing them to cross legally for court hearing. Most must wait several months just for their initial hearing, and few have access to immigration lawyers in the U.S.
At the Nuevo Laredo parking lot, as Mexican officials came and went from an air-conditioned office, migrants camped on pallets strewn among their cars. Some huddled under a metal carport, sharing a foul-smelling bathroom and bathing with outdoor hoses. Children played with empty water bottles and shards of glass.
Honduran migrant Jose Antonio Mancia Hernandez couldn't imagine staying with his 10-month-old son, Dylan, until their next court hearing Sept. 20.
"It's like a psychological thing they're doing, trying to make us go back to our countries," he said.
"They don't secure us, we can't bathe, they don't have food — they treat us like dogs," said Claudia Lopez Galvez, 37, who had fled Guatemala with her 16-year-old daughter.
Over the last five months, the U.S. has returned more than 20,000 asylum seekers to Tijuana, Mexicali, Juarez, Nuevo Laredo and Matamoros, according to Mexican officials. An analysis of immigration court records by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University showed that 1,155 "remain in Mexico" asylum cases had been decided by the end of June — only 14, or 1.2% — with attorneys. Not a single person had been granted asylum, and 12,997 cases remained pending.
It's not clear how many asylum seekers sent to wait in Mexico have abandoned their legal cases and headed back to the countries they fled. A Mexican official in Baja California state estimated about half there had left for home.
Along the border in recent days, thousands of migrants have faced the same quandary. Many now penniless or saddled with debt from their trips north have decided to head back. Some said they still planned to pursue their U.S. immigration cases, but many more said they just hoped to make it home without being kidnapped or killed.
Nowhere is safety more of a concern than in Nuevo Laredo's Tamaulipas state, where 3,000 migrants have been returned despite U.S. State Department warnings against traveling there due to kidnappings and other violent crimes, according to José Martín Carmona, head of the state government's Institute for Migrants.
The entrance to the parking lot where the migrants waited near the border bridge lacks armed security. The migrants were desperate for food. Some children begged their parents for a drink of water.
Last week, Nuevo Laredo's six official migrant shelters were full — and not accepting those returned from the U.S., said the Rev. Aaron Mendez Ruiz, who runs Casa Amar. The 100-bed shelter is housing 160, although in recent months it accepted even more migrants, allowing them to sleep in the courtyard and nearby street.
"In all the border cities, this is a problem," Mendez Ruiz said, and busing migrants south "is the only solution."
Vendors, meanwhile, have swooped in to gouge the returnees stranded in the parking lot for cell phone charging, diapers and clothes, among other things. Couriers, who charged a fee to pick up money relatives had wired to those waiting in Nuevo Laredo, sometimes vanished with the cash. Some families said they had spent $500 in four days on food and water alone.
No doctors or lawyers visited Thursday, although immigration officials summoned an ambulance twice for children who were suffering from the 104-degree heat.
Honduran Katherine Zavala's 3-year-old daughter, Brianna Ramos, had a fever, but Zavala was afraid to take her to the hospital.
"I asked if they could take her to the hospital," Zavala, 23, said of Mexican immigration officials at a nearby building. "They said I could take my chances with my life."
Some migrants separated from children, spouses and elderly parents in detention scrambled to figure out whether they too had been returned to Mexico, and if so, where. A Colombian woman with a toddler discovered her 20-year-old son had also been returned to Matamoros, over 200 miles away by car.
Honduran Ines Posas, 27, said that being sent here with her 7-year-old autistic son felt "like a punishment." She said that's what a Border Patrol agent told her it was. The single mother had hoped to join her father in Louisiana or her mother in South Carolina, but said now: "I just want to go back to my country."
Security guards at the parking lot warned that stepping outside put migrants at risk of being kidnapped by local drug cartels.
Those who had traveled north with smugglers had "keys," or codes, to provide cartel members who stopped them on the street, but many had crossed east of Nuevo Laredo, the territory of different smugglers. Some migrants said they had seen people snatched from the parking lot in recent days, including two Cubans who were held for $8,000 ransom.
Some migrants who were returned to Mexico have attempted to re-enter the U.S. again illegally — and have died in the process.
On Thursday, Mexican officials in Nuevo Laredo recovered the body of an unidentified man from the Rio Grande near the bridge where migrants awaited buses south. On Monday, officials in El Paso found the body of Vilma Mendoza, 20, a Guatemalan migrant who entered the U.S. on the Fourth of July. She was returned to Juarez and drowned trying to cross again.
Those who chose to wait in the parking lot included pregnant women and people still wearing hospital bracelets from being treated while in Border Patrol custody. Their only alternative: Mexican government-contracted buses to Tapachula, Chiapas, on the border with Guatemala. Some of the migrants had to ask where whether Chiapas was in Mexico.
"They told us cross [the bridge into Mexico] and there will be a shelter; the conditions are better there. But it's not true. There's none of that. It's a lie," said Miriam Orillana, 33, who fled El Salvador with her disabled 5-year-old son, Carlos, hoping to join her husband in New York.
After living in the parking lot for a week as her son grew increasingly manic, she decided to take the first bus to Tapachula on Thursday, but still planned to return to the border for an Oct. 29 court date.
Others wanted to head to the northern Mexican industrial city of Monterrey, where they figured they could find work and support themselves while awaiting their asylum hearings. But Nuevo Laredo officials last week stopped sending free buses there. Migrants said they were told they would have to pay not only for tickets, but $1,200 each for protection from the cartels to leave the parking lot and reach the local bus station.
Breast cancer survivor Patricia Paiz, 43, decided to send her 14-year-old son back to Guatemala with a friend's family while she tries to reach Monterrey, find work and pursue her asylum case.
"With Donald Trump, things will not change. Maybe after the elections," she said. "But for now, no."
Many more migrants stranded in Nuevo Laredo had decided to give up on asylum and leave.
"I don't want anything else to happen to me," said Lili Verona, 48, a Honduran migrant who came north hoping to join relatives in Los Angeles or Miami.
Single mom Elisa Reyes fled Honduras with her 14-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son to join family in Los Angeles, but after spending 10 days watching her children vomit and shiver in Border Patrol detention and a day in Nuevo Laredo without food, she was leaving on a bus for Chiapas, heading toward home.
She called the U.S. immigration system "a deception."
In Tijuana last week, Danny Mejia, 35, said he had also decided to abandon his asylum case before his first hearing Oct. 28.
"My dream is gone," the Honduran migrant said as his wife and 8-year-old son received water and snacks from volunteers at a tent by the border crossing. "We don't know anyone. We don't have any money. We don't have a place to sleep. The only thing we can do is go back to our country."
Tijuana shelter directors said about 40% of migrants had decided to return home in recent weeks.
"I feel like a recycling center," said the Rev. Albert Rivera, who runs the local Agape shelter and has been helping migrants arrange bus trips and flights home. "The minute I drop off a group at the bus station, immigration calls me again with new people to pick up."
At his shelter Thursday, migrants were signing up for free flights home from the United Nations' International Organization for Migration. The group has also offered free bus rides to returnees in Juarez.
Juan Santos said that without a job, he couldn't await his first hearing Jan. 17. He and about 30 other migrants accepted U.N. flights to Honduras next week.
The cities where asylum seekers are being returned by U.S. officials are among the most dangerous in Mexico. Amnesty International has called for an investigation into the fatal shooting of a Central American migrant father Wednesday by Mexican authorities in the northern city of Saltillo.
In Nuevo Laredo, Honduran farmworker Edin Santos Martinez, 38, and his 15-year-old son said they came north to join his brother in Los Angeles, but had been kidnapped twice along the way. In the southern state of Veracruz, they were held for three days until they paid $6,000. Then they were held again for a week on the border in Tamaulipas until they paid $8,500. That's in addition to the $10,000 Santos Martinez paid smugglers.
"If anything happens to us over here, it's the responsibility of the government over there," he said, pointing to the U.S. "What else can we do?"
In the early hours Friday, as some migrants waited for buses to Chiapas, they shifted toward the Rio Grande and away from the parking lot entrance as rumors spread that members of the Zetas cartel were circling outside, looking for targets.
"If you value your life," a guard told a Colombian migrant mother, "take the buses."
Officials wouldn't say when the buses would arrive. Migrants bedded down near where they hung clothes to dry on a chain link fence with a view across the river, where the U.S. government is building tents to process and hear more "Remain in Mexico" cases.
When the buses finally arrived in Nuevo Laredo around 1 a.m., nearly 200 migrants rushed to line up. Many were smiling, relieved. One woman exclaimed: "Thank God we can go!"
Eber Ramirez, 42, joined the line with his 15-year-old daughter and 18-year-old niece. They had hoped to make it to relatives in Maryland and Virginia. But after nearly a week in detention, Ramirez said he was tired of discrimination and convinced he couldn't support himself in Mexico long enough to win asylum in the U.S.
He would return to Guatemala, he said, with a message for his family about the U.S.: "Never go back."

Homepage Research & Faculty PhD Programme Meet our PhD students How do FinTech and Unconventional Monetary Policies affect the insurance-macroeconomic growth nexus?
I guess superhero, astronaut or football player are the most common answers. However, in my case the answer was Prime Minister. At least that was the answer I gave my teacher in Greece at the age of 5. Funny that my research is related to macroeconomic growth and monetary policies, isn't it?
Well, I love many different things. Nevertheless, you are most likely to find me at the gym. I believe exercising is necessary in order to get rid of the daily stresses of life. My guilty pleasure is watching anime! Some childhood vibes never hurt anyone…#kamehameha.
Insurance industry has a significant impact on macroeconomic growth and vice versa. However, during the last decade financial technology and unconventional monetary policies have shaken the ground of the economic landscape. Through my doctoral research, I aim to study how these two factors affected the relationship between insurance industry and macroeconomic growth.
I think that just by reading the title one can understand the impact of my research!
Given that a sound insurance industry is vital for a strong macroeconomic environment, anything that could have a significant impact on insurance or the economy should be analysed and addressed carefully and thoroughly. Financial technology has altered the financial services function and unconventional monetary policies are the main tools used by central banks to boost growth. Hence, it is important to understand the magnitude and the nature of the impact of these two trends to insurance-growth nexus. In a nutshell, insurance is for the economy, what the heart is for the human body. Since a cardiologist would not leave any potential risk unanalysed, why should I?
I find the concept of contrast very interesting. Hence, I would like people to remember me as someone who strived to generate interesting research, following his own unique reasoning. In a few words, an authentic and intriguing researcher.
I am pretty optimistic regarding my future and it is not solely due to obtaining a PhD. I believe that during my doctoral research years, I will reach a level of maturity and understanding that will lay a foundation that allows me to cope with any challenge in the future.
In other words, I will rock!!!

Indian eves gear up for Caribbean challenge
Cricket | October 31, 2019
After humbling South Africa women at home in both T20I and ODI series, the Indian eves are now gearing up to lock horns with West Indies Women in a three-match ODI series followed by a five-match T20I series in Caribbean conditions.
The Indian eves registered comprehensive victories in both the series against the Proteas Women. While they won by a 3-1 margin in the T20Is, India completed a whitewash over the Proteas in the ODIs as they won all three of the matches. India's only defeat came in the sixth T20I at Surat but, apart from that, their performance was absolutely flawless.
Now, their tour of the Caribbean will begin with the first ODI at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua on November 1. In fact, all of the three one-day matches will be played at that venue. And as far as the T20Is are concerned, the first two matches will be played at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St. Lucia whereas the last three games will be played at the Providence Stadium in Guyana.
India Women have a superior overall record against West Indies women when it comes to playing in ODIs. They have won 18 out of their 22 ODIs against them till Date. However, when it comes to playing in Caribbean conditions, they have lost two out of their three matches. But those defeats came way back in 2012 and this current Indian outfit will look to set that record straight. In T20Is, however, the Caribbean team has a better overall record and also at home. India Women have lost eight of their 13 T20Is against West Indies Women while winning only five. In West Indies, they have won two and lost three in a total of five games.
India Women
ODI squad: Mithali Raj (c), Harmanpreet Kaur (vc), Smriti Mandhana, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma, Punam Raut, D Hemalatha, Jhulan Goswami, Shikha Pandey, Mansi Joshi, Poonam Yadav, Ekta Bisht, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Taniya Bhatia (wk), Priya Punia, and Sushma Verma.

Seeing Double: Why Pepperdine Chose Dual-Source Displays for Law Classrooms
IT leaders at Pepperdine explain their choice to upgrade to dual-source displays.
Julie Tausend
Julie Tausend is the manager of instructional technology at Pepperdine University School of Law. She specializes in instructional design and educational technology and writes about these topics at Tausend Talks EdTech. She has an MBA in technology management and an MS in management with a concentration in project management from Stevens Institute of Technology. She studied communications and instructional design at Ithaca College. Julie enjoys traveling, playing basketball and cooking. You can follow her on Google+ and Twitter.
The IT department at the Pepperdine University School of Law, in Malibu, Calif., spent months planning and designing a classroom upgrade called the educational technology uplift, or ETU.
To each classroom, Pepperdine added a PC, a Blu-ray player, VGA and HDMI connections for laptops, built-in speakers, a document camera, and a lecture capture system. Each of these is controlled by a touch control panel.
Each classroom has been equipped with two or more projection-display screens. One major decision the School of Law information-services team faced during the planning phase was whether dual-source projection should be used.
The norm for modern classrooms is the use of a single-source display, where there are two screens in a classroom, but the same content is shown on each. For example, a PC with a PowerPoint presentation running is displayed on both of the screens simultaneously.
Alternatively, dual-source projection allows for two unique sources to be shown at the same time. For instance, a DVD can be played in the DVD player on the left display screen while the PC with a PowerPoint presentation running is displayed on the right screen.
The Benefit of Dual-Source Projection
Instructors and presenters don't lose valuable lecture time switching between sources. Setting up the sources before the lesson so that they are ready to go results in a seamless flow of content. Professors can speak about the content on the left screen and then seamlessly flow to the content on the right screen. Otherwise, the instructor would need to stop midlesson to disable the source that is currently showing on the screens and enable the second source. For instructors who are not tech savvy, this switching of content midlesson could prove to be both cumbersome and time consuming.
Another benefit to the dual-source projection is that instructors still have the option to display a single source on both projection screens. Displaying a single-source on both screens is recommended for those instructors who are using only one piece of content, such as a video, to aid in their lecture. Using both projection screens with the same source displayed will increase the sight lines of the classroom.
Pepperdine University School of Law's decision to use dual-source projection has been beneficial so far. In comparison to past semesters, the Fall 2013 term has shown an increase in the use of educational technology. In addition, the development of an easy-to-use control interface has resulted in instructors being autonomous in their course setup, relying less on support from the information services department.

Q: How to secure a PHP script? I have got a PHP script. In this script I will be connected to a FTP server, and show a file. What would be the best way to secure this script so can only log in 5 times in 1 hour or something like that?
My script:
<?php
session_start();

$_SESSION["ftp_user"] = $_POST["user"];
$_SESSION["ftp_pass"] = $_POST["pass"];
$ftp_pass = $_POST["pass"];
$ftp_server = "ftp.guusvanwalstijn.nl";

function test()
{
echo "Do whatever i want";
}

// Verbinding maken
$conn_id = ftp_connect($ftp_server) or die("Couldn't connect to $ftp_server");

// Error die je krijgt als je het wachtwoord verkeerd hebt ingetypt
function error_while_connecting() {
echo "Error while connecting to the server";
echo "
Probably the password is wrong or the server is offline";
}

// Inloggen met de gegeven inloggegevens
if (@ftp_login($conn_id, $ftp_user, $ftp_pass)) {
    test();

} else {
    error_while_connecting();
    print("
Debug: " . $_POST["pass"] . "
");
    print("
Debug: " . $_POST["user"] . "
");
}

ftp_close($conn_id);
?>

A: You can add a log table (timestamps) to the database or store it in file. Fetch last 5 records from it and check if the oldest one is older than 1 hour. If it is, then you can allow to connect to the database. If not, deny, because the limit has been reached. You can also clear contents of this file/db table periodically to avoid too much growth.

Trump demanded that the election night results — which showed the Republicans leading based upon incomplete ballot counts — be used to determine the winner.
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Florida's election recount is chugging along as more irregularities are uncovered and a judge asked the warring sides to "ramp down the rhetoric," saying it erodes public confidence in the election for Senate and governor.
One county revealed Monday that it had allowed some hurricane-displaced voters to cast their ballots by email — a violation of state law. Another had to restart its recount after getting about a quarter finished because someone forgot to push a button. And in oft-criticized Broward County, additional sheriff's deputies were sent to guard ballots and voting machines, even though a judge said no Republican who has publicly alleged fraud in the county's process — a list that includes President Donald Trump and Gov. Rick Scott — has presented any evidence to law enforcement.
Can Donald Trump teach us anything?
