'Don't exploit migrants for politics': Pope visits refugee island
Don't exploit migrants for politics, Pope Francis says on refugee island
Pope Francis, Lesbos
(UPDATE) Pope Francis condemned the exploitation of migrants for political purposes on Sunday during a visit to the Greek island of Lesbos , lamenting that Europe had entered 'an era of walls and barbed wire'.
Francis, who was to have been driven straight to the podium, instead walked through the camp, stopping to greet dozens of refugees and giving a high five hand greeting to a young African boy.Francis, who first visited one of the main entry points for migrants in 2016 and took 12 Syrian refugees back to Italy with him, returned briefly as part of his five-day trip to Cyprus and Greece to meet with refugees at the Mavrovouni camp, which holds about 2,300 people.
He lamented that "little has changed with regard to the issue of migration" since his last visit five years ago.The Mediterranean, where thousands have died trying to make the crossing from north Africa to Europe, was still "a grim cemetery without tombstones".
"I am here to see your faces and look into your eyes. Eyes full of fear and expectancy, eyes that have seen violence and poverty, eyes streaked by too many tears," he said at the camp's reception and identification area.Francis for the second straight day chided those who use the migration crisis for political ends. headtopics.com

"It is easy to stir up public opinion by instilling fear of others," he said, adding that people who are anti-immigrant "fail to speak with equal vehemence" about the exploitation of the poor, wars, and the arms industry."The remote causes should be attacked, not the poor people who pay the consequences and are even used for political propaganda," he said.
The camp, set up in a old army firing range, is made up of dozens of prefabricated structures, some similar to shipping containers and other, smaller ones made of plastic.ERA OF WALLS AND BARBED WIREThe spaces between the structures are like streets of a bleak village where people live in limbo. Baby carriages and children's tricycles leaned on the home of one Afghan couple.
Sitting on a chair under a tent with the sea behind him, the pope listened to Christian Tango Mukaya, a 30-year-old refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo who has been at the camp with two of his children for a year. He has not had contact with his wife and another child since he arrived.

Mavrovouni, whose perimeter is surrounded by cement, barbed wire and the sea, replaced the notorious Moria camp that burned down last year.The pope visited several families there at the end of his morning visit.Departing from his prepared address, Francis said it was "distressing" to hear that some European leaders wanted to use common funds to build a wall and put up barbed wire to keep immigrants out. headtopics.com
"We are in the era of walls and barbed wire," he said.Poland's prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki has called for the EU to jointly finance a border wall to stem the tide of migrants coming from the Middle East through Belarus into Poland.
As grim and bleak as Mavrovouni is, it is a marked improvement over Moria, which human rights groups decried for its squalid and overcrowded conditions.Greece has long been the main entry point into the European Union for migrants and refugees fleeing war and poverty in the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Hundreds of thousands of people arrived on Lesbos's beaches in 2015 after crossing on boats from Turkey.

Joshue, an 18-year-old refugee from Congo, was among those who welcomed the pope's visit."It's not like hearing it from afar, he came to the field to see how we live, to see how things happen here, so it gives us hope and strength knowing that such a leader is thinking about us," he said.

Q: List All users who has birthday in current month - Javascript I wanted to list all users who are having birthday in current month in an ascending order.
const user = [
  {
    name: 'xxx',
    dob: '21-09-1988'
  },
  {
    name: 'yyy',
    dob: '30-09-2000'
  },
  {
    name: 'zzz',
    dob: '01-10-1988'
  },
]

Below is my code
const today = new Date();

this.members.forEach((member) => {
  let birthdate = member.dob.split('-')[0];
  let birthmonth = member.dob.split('-')[1];

  console.log(birthmonth);
  if (birthmonth === today.getMonth()+1) {
   this.birthdayMembers.push(member);
  }
});

Please help to resolve this.

A: You need to loop users array, compare months, push users to resulting array and then sort it as you need. Obviously this is just one of many ways to solve this. Check inline comments:

// Users
const users = [
  {
    name: 'yyy',
    dob: '30-09-2000'
  },
  {
    name: 'xxx',
    dob: '21-09-1988'
  },
  {
    name: 'zzz',
    dob: '01-10-1988'
  }
];

// Get current month
const cm = new Date().getMonth()+1;

// Loop users and compare months
// If month match, push user to filtered array
const fa = [];
for(const u of users) if(cm == u.dob.split("-")[1]) fa.push(u);

// Then sort your array as you wish (i.e ASC)
fa.sort((a, b) => (a.dob > b.dob ? 1 : -1));

// Test result
console.log(fa);

A: You need to combine two array methods: filter and sort.
Also I have some advices for code snippet that you shared:

*

*Don't use "let" for variables which values will not be changed, use "const" instead

*Use desctructuring for getting values from arrays or objects

So here is code that would solve your problem:

const user = [
  {
    name: 'yyy',
    dob: '30-09-2000'
  },
  {
    name: 'xxx',
    dob: '21-09-1988'
  },
  {
    name: 'zzz',
    dob: '01-10-1988'
  },
]

const today = new Date();

const currentMonth = today.getMonth() + 1;

const usersWithBirthdayThisMonth = user
.filter((user) => {
    const [, birthMonth] = user.dob.split('-');

  return parseInt(birthMonth) === currentMonth
})
.sort((userA, userB) => {
    const [birthDayA] = userA.dob.split('-');
  const [birthDayB] = userB.dob.split('-');
  return parseInt(birthDayA) - parseInt(birthDayB);
})

console.log(usersWithBirthdayThisMonth)

A: You just need to make array of current month, and then sort it
const user = [{
        name: 'qqq', dob: '31-09-1988'
    }, {
        name: 'xxx', dob: '21-09-1988'
    }, {
        name: 'yyy', dob: '30-09-2000'
    }, {
        name: 'zzz', dob: '01-10-1988'
    }, {
        name: 'uuu', dob: '01-09-1988'
    },]

    const currentMonth = new Date().getMonth() + 1;
    let result = [];
    user.forEach((member) => {
        let birthdate = member.dob.split('-')
        if (birthdate[1] == currentMonth) {
            result.push(member);
        }
    });
    result.sort((a, b) => {
        if (a.dob.split('-')[0] > b.dob.split('-')[0]) return 1; else if (a.dob.split('-')[0] < b.dob.split('-')[0]) return -1; else return 0;
    });
    console.log(result)

Prairie dogs. They're cute. No, let's face it: they're downright adorable. Personally, I could watch them skitter around being downright adorable all day.
But beyond their adorable-ness, how much do we really know about these animals? Well, it turns out that they're actually remarkably quirky and interesting.
Prairie dogs, which are a type of ground squirrel, are located throughout North America's grasslands. They get their name from the sound they make– a dog-like bark. If you've ever seen a prairie dog, you can probably intuit that they are a tight-knit species (because when was the last time you saw just one prairie dog?). In fact, hey live in huge communities (by critter standards), and have found that the best way to recognize each other is by touching teeth — which is both weird and endearing.
But that's not all! Watch the video to lear more about these charming little marmots. The footage of them doing prairie dog things is downright… well, we'll say it again… adorable!

My good friend Peter returned from Champagne the other day and to my great happiness, he came for dinner that very night. I love hanging out with Peter because he's a truly remarkable guy, and then there's also the wine thing - spending an evening drinking wine with him is like being in graduate school (but without the annoying homework or the crippling debt). During our conversation on this night I learned a lot about Austrian Riesling and changes in the Austrian wine industry in the 1980's. All of this was new to me, and I found it so interesting that I will try to recreate the conversation here.
It began with lobster bisque that I brought back from Larson's Fish Market in Martha's Vineyard. What to drink with this very rich soup? I was thinking of Champagne, or maybe a Huet demi-sec, but I remembered the 1999 Hirtzberger Riesling Smaragd Singerriedel that I bought about a year ago, on Peter's advice actually. I saw it one day just sitting there for $67 in the cold room at Astor. Curious about Austrian wine, I had asked Peter to recommend a few things to try. He said that the blue-chip wines include Hirtzberger's Singerriedel, Nikolaihof's Steiner Hund, Alzinger's Steinertal, Pichler's Kellerberg and Loibner Berg, and Prager's Achleiten (and more recently Wachstum Bodenstein), and that Singerriedel might be the greatest of the vineyard sites.
We opened and decanted the wine. Peter generally does not decant wine, he prefers to experience its evolution from the bottle and the glass, but he told me always to decant Austrian white wines because they are made in such a reductive style. I thought the wine was gorgeous - rather full in body and quite ripe, but also entirely focused and under control, and as it interacted with air it became more and more detailed. Peter said the wine was great and that it was very modern, a fantastic example of the style.
"What do you mean, modern," I asked.
"Well, the Austrian wine industry completely changed in 1985," he said. "You know about this, right?"
"Nope. Completely ignorant," my vacant expression conveyed.
"Austrian Riesling used to have residual sugar. If you drink wines from the 40's, 50's, and 60's, they all had residual sugar. Now some of the greatest wines are completely dry, but this is a relatively new thing. They were making late harvest wines and doing very well with them in the export markets. But you can't make late harvest Riesling every year, it requires certain climate characteristics. It turns out that when climate didn't cooperate, some producers were adding diethylene glycol (an ingredient in anti-freeze) to the wines to give them the texture resembling the late harvest wines."
"You've got to be kidding me," I said. I thought it was the French who used to add anti-freeze to wine.
Peter just shrugged. "When this was discovered, the Austrian wine industry died, literally overnight," he said. "There were a few growers who decided to change the course, to make great dry wines. They formed a private growers organization called Vinea Wachau, the organization that began using the Federspiel and Smaragd designations. And they weren't always called Smaragd, by the way. It was originally Honifogel but there was a woman whose last name was Honifogel who sued the group and they changed the designation name to Smaragd"
"Who were the growers who started it," I asked.
"It was four of them I think," Peter said. "Hirtzberger, the old Jamek, the old Prager, and FX Pichler. It took a little while, but the scandal was the greatest thing that could have happened for the Austrian wine industry in a Darwinian way - only the best survived. Overall quality is great now, in fact I would say that there is no where else right now where the median wine quality is equal to what it is in Austria."
"Wow, that's a big thing to say," I said. It was at this point when I noticed all of this light, this burst of knowledge, if you will, pouring forth from Peter's head.
"I'd love this to happen elsewhere," Peter said, laughing. "I'd love a scandal in Champagne."
We drank the wine and it was delicious with the lobster bisque. It was delicious on its own. Really a great wine, amazingly graceful and balanced, so expressive, a complete wine. And a great experience drinking it in the company of some one who can speak about it so intelligently and also so conversationally. Here's the wikipedia entry on the Austrian wine scandal, if you're curious.
I spent the weekend at a friend's house in Martha's Vineyard, perhaps the DRC of New England's summer vacation spots. We did a lot of playing outdoors, and also a good amount of cooking, eating, and drinking. We drank some very delicious things, but the wine I was thinking about when I woke up this morning was the Muscadet. We drank it with oysters and clams, and it was just ridiculous.
Everyone says that Muscadet and oysters is a match made in heaven, and they're right. There are plenty of wines that are great with oysters, but Muscadet is a truly special pairing. When it's right, the wine amplifies the oyster, and vice-versa, and they almost begin to taste like one another. Or it could be that I'm not a fastidious eater, and liquor from the oyster gets on the rim of my glass, but I think you should ignore that possibility right now and just work with me on this.
Most Muscadet is aged for something like 9 months on the lees and then bottled, and these wines can be great. My favorites include Marc Ollivier's Clos des Briords, Guy Bossard's Expression de Granite, and Jo Landron's Fief de Breil. Some of the top Muscadet producers also hold certain wines from old vines and from specific terroirs and age them for two or three years on the lees. These wines can also be great and they offer a slightly different kind of pleasure - they tend to be richer and a bit fuller in body. Marc Ollivier's Granite de Clisson and Luneau Papin's Excelsior Clos des Noelles are two examples that have become easier to find on retail shelves. One that is harder to find but well worth the search is André-Michel Brégeon's Gorgeois. This wine comes from Gabbro soils, the black granite (I think it is granite - please add your .02 if I'm wrong) that sits underneath the clay on the hills around the town of Gorges. The vines are very old and the wine is aged for at least two years on the lees.
A few years ago in NYC there was a cache of bottles from the 2000 vintage. I bought a little bit and drank it all, and it was fantastic wine. I was overjoyed to find that my friend had saved a bottle and we drank it this weekend in Martha's Vineyard, with oysters. It's hard to separate the beauty of the wine from the beauty of the experience of drinking it, standing at the sink, oyster and clam shells everywhere, sun streaming in through the windows, the sweet summer smell of the air.
The wine smelled like oyster liquor and preserved lemons and anise seed, and it was fresh and lively, still growing. It was perfectly balanced, still vibrant with acidity and minerality, and showed complex flavors that were part saline and part herbs and rocks. At 10 years plus, the wine was not fierce the way young Brégeon Muscadet can be, it had no "attack." The texture is part of what made it so memorable, a gentle pillow that spread evenly through the mouth and nose. We drank this wine with locally farmed oysters and it was one of those moments when you understand why certain things become cliché.
The other night a good friend of mine came over for dinner. He's also a wine lover, but his cellar is full of current California Cabernet and modern day wine from Bordeaux. Trust me though, he is a truly lovely guy. He arrived at my house carrying a 375 ml bottle of 2001 Turley Paso Robles Zinfandel Delinquent. This is a late harvest dessert wine that is not available in stores. You have to be on the Turley mailing list to be offered the wine, and apparently not everyone on the mailing list has access either. It's some sort of Turley secret society, perhaps.
I will be honest here - when my pal showed me the wine he brought, I felt a bit concerned. It's so far away from everything that I drink and love - what if I didn't like it? I didn't want to be faced with the choice of critiquing my friend's wine, a wine he loves, or fibbing about liking it. Happily, I never had to make that choice. I didn't love the wine, but it was quite interesting and I'm glad I got to try it. Actually, my friend was more critical of it than I was. And I will point out that this is not the first time in this blog's history where I have been surprised at liking a Turley wine.
First, the problems: the wine showed a lot of alcohol. It wasn't so intrusive at first, but 15 minutes in and the alcohol took over the nose, a rubbing alcohol aroma. It ebbed and flowed, but there was no mistaking it. The label says 20% alcohol (and 9% residual sugar), so I suppose that it isn't strange to sense it on the nose. Still, this wine is not handling its alcohol well.
That's it - that's the only problem with the wine, if problem is defined as "flaw." Other than that, I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. There were articulate chocolate and orange aromas, and also something that reminded me of the medicinal herbs that I sometimes smell in northern Italian wines. The palate was spicy raspberry liquor that was very intense without being cloying or heavy. It's a dessert wine made of Zinfandel - not something that I will buy, but by being open minded I found that there were some things to enjoy there.
I worry that I might not be open minded enough. Not saying that I should spend more time with California wine, or give the Aussie Shiraz a fair shake. But it's easy to set my mind within the regions that I do know and love, to have decisions already made about which Beaujolais I love, which Vouvray I want, which Burgundy I will buy for young drinking, that kind of thing. This Turley dessert wine was a nice reminder for me that my preconceived notions are valuable and I've earned them through my own experiences, but it is wise also to be open minded, to be eager, almost, to be wrong.
A couple years ago I enjoyed a special meal at Convivio, the now-closed restaurant in Tudor City. The inimitable Levi Dalton was of course the chef somelier. When eating or drinking at a master's establishment, I think it's a good idea to simply put yourself in the master's hands - think omakase at a great sushi bar. The master sushi chef knows far better than I about which fish are the freshest and tastiest, and how best to serve them. Why would I select my meal instead of asking them to select for me? Why would I tell Levi Dalton, at his restaurant, what I will drink?
We decided on grilled sardines as one of our first courses. They were pretty much perfect, fresh, smoky, slightly chewy in a tremendously appealing way, and left to shine on their own. Levi served us glasses of a wine I had never heard of with the sardines, a Fiano di Avellino. We ate and drank many great things that night, but one of the most memorable pairings for me was this Fiano with the sardines. And I don't even remember the producer or vintage. What I remember is how the wine introduced and then enhanced the flavors of the fish, clean and pure, smoky, savory, complex, bracing, completely satisfying. Fiano! I needed to have some for my very own.
I emailed Levi and asked what to buy. He replied "You want to be looking for Guido Marsella, Pietracupa, Terredora di Paolo (pretty easy to find), La Molara." I couldn't find any of them, in fact I couldn't find any Fiano at all, except for the ones I'd been warned against. Okay, one night a year ago I went to dinner at Vinegar Hill House and they offered a Fiano that came neither recommended nor warned against, and we drank it. It was good, not memorable, but good.
Anyway, I'd kind of given up on finding Fiano until I saw recently that one or two of the producers Levi recommended are showing up on NYC shelves. Why now? Maybe it was sir Asimov's article, but who knows. I was glad to see them, and bought a few bottles. I opened one the other night with friends and wow, did I ever pair it wrong. Levi would have been aghast, to say the least.
There are Fianos to drink young, but the style that I think is most exciting to people who have tried them are the more serious wines, the wines that do very well with a few years of bottle age. There is a smoky, nutty complexity under the lovely surface of bright citrus, complexity that takes a few years to show itself. I have little experience with these wines, so when I saw the 2006 Guido Marsella Fiano di Avellino, $21, USA Wine Imports, I was pretty excited. Highly recommended producer, a few years of bottle age, very reasonably priced, nice!
And then I butchered the pairing. I had a few friends over one night and one of the things I served was the simple and classic fish en papillote, fish baked in a parchment paper packet with herbs and vegetables. It steams as it bakes and the juices are sealed in the packet. It's lovely to cut the paper open at the table releasing the aromas. I used local blackfish, a sweet-fleshed fish that eats shellfish. In each packet was little bed made of slices of asparagus, chopped garlic scapes, chopped fennel, parsley, and a pat of butter.
The fish was delicious. The wine was delicious. They did not, however, go together at all. The wine was so deep and rich, such intense aromas and flavors of smoke, honey, lentil-type legumes (reminded me of Assyrtiko, actually), and sea salt. One friend said that he was getting bacon on the nose! This wine needed those sardines from Convivio, or something equally powerful, something hearty that could stand up and speak clearly in conversation. This fish preparation was simply too delicate. It would have been better with something like a young Chablis or a Muscadet, perhaps a dry Loire Chenin Blanc. Or a young rosé from Provence. Or anything less intense than this Fiano.
Just goes to show that the food can be delicious, and the wine can be great, and things can still go wrong at the table. Don't worry though - no one was hurt, or even insulted. We all actually learned something.
The other day I had a somewhat startling realization - when I buy a wine today with the plan to age it for a long time, say 25 years, if I am successful in holding it for that long, I will be something like 65 when I drink the wine. Simple math, you say, and you're right. But the point is, 25 years is a long time - what if I'm not drinking wine when I'm 65? It must be hard to sustain a hobby for 25 years. Honestly, who out there has purchased a wine on release, and then cellared it for 25 years before drinking it? Not many of us, I bet.
My friend Keith very generously served this the other night with a lovely dinner of roast lamb. There were five of us at the table and I didn't really check in with other people about the wine, I was too busy with my nose in the glass, too busy tuning into the amazing feeling of the wine in my mouth. I thought this was a truly phenomenal bottle of wine, I think the finest bottle of red Bordeaux wine that I've ever had.
There were two things about the wine that got me: first, the nose was absolutely pure in its expression of tobacco leaves. I experienced them as fresh leaves, leaves that had been cured in a warehouse in Cuba, but still vibrant and fresh. There were other things happening on the nose too, but it was this amazing fresh tobacco aroma that moved me. And then, there was the texture of the wine, the silky smooth mouth feel. Not glossy, not artificial smoothness in any way, and there was still plenty of structure by the way - just a beautifully textured wine. A pillow of fresh tobacco leaves, with a finish of gravel and faded potpourri. A memorable wine.
And the thing is, Keith didn't buy this wine on release - he wasn't born when this wine hit the shelves. I don't know when he bought it, but he said "I bought it back when it was affordably priced. I can't buy Chateau Haut-Brion now."
I grew up in New York City and have always loved visiting to its outer reaches, to neighborhoods where you can feel like a foreigner. It's best to go with someone who can act as a guide, but it's also fun to explore with a friend when neither of you really have any idea what you're doing.
Recently a buddy and I went to Brighton Beach, the mostly Russian and Central Asian Republic neighborhood next to Coney Island, all the way at the southern tip of Brooklyn. The boardwalk is always a kick, and an entire afternoon can easily be spent wandering there between Brighton and Coney Island. But it is inland where you will feel like you are in another country, on boulevards like Brighton Avenue under the elevated subway tracks, or on Neptune Avenue, where you can stroll all the way to Sheepshead bay.
Don't go for the hospitality - that's not the vibe. People in Brighton seem to regard it as an extension of their hometown, and when we Amerikanski go there, speaking our English and getting in the way of things, it's an annoyance, nothing more. That it is New York City is meaningless, at least that's what it seems like to me whenever I'm there. For the price of a round trip subway ride, you feel like you are traveling.
Tarragon flavored drink. Pretty tasty.
Also comes in pine flavor. Haven't tried it.
There is a lot of meat on display. Here are dry sausages.
Can of pork. The Cyrillic reads "Svinaya Tushyenka." I don't know what Tushyenka means. I hope it doesn't mean what it sounds like it means. Perhaps not so appetizing, but you have to admire the design.
Lots of smoked, pickled, and cured fish too. These smoked salmon wings reminded me of the luscious collar that is often broiled with salt in Japanese cooking.
There was evidence also of vegetables. Here are prepared salads.
At a bakery, these looked and sounded great - peanut butter layered with wafers. But there was something figgy in there, and I didn't love them.
On the whole, the pastry was pretty appetizing. Check out those rugelach!
If you drink vodka at cellar temperature and always while eating, you'll never have a problem. This is the half-bottle of Russian Standard Platinum that I drank with two Russian friends who were kind enough to take me to Brighton for dinner the following week, after I told them of this adventure.
There are still boxes and bags cluttering the new apartment, I haven't really unpacked yet. I worked until it reached a livable state, and then I paused, settled in a little. I went to the farmer's market, I cooked dinner.
I love the vegetables at the market this time of year. Lettuces, some bitter greens like escarole, garlic scapes, asparagus, now there are shell peas. My daughters have become quite proficient at shelling peas, even the 2 and a half year old. Problem is, and it's not really a problem because it's timeless and adorable, they immediately eat everything that they shell.
The daughters helped me pick out the vegetables, and my older daughter chose flounder at the fish stand. The younger one stood and stared at the whole sea bass. I made a completely simple and delicious dinner that night, something that the kids happily ate and although a bit simple, I loved it too.
Fresh local flounder, salt and pepper, dredge in just the suggestion of flour, cook in butter that is almost-brown at pretty high heat. What's not to like? Served atop a variety of spring vegetables - shell peas, fennel, asparagus, carrots, and garlic scapes, all cut into pieces that a 2 and a half year old can handle. Again, cooked in nothing but butter, salt, and pepper.
This meal is not something that you will ever see at Le Bernadin because it's just too simple, among other reasons. I remember reading a quote from some or other celebrity NYC chef, discussing the menu at his new restaurant: "I don't want to go down in history as the guy who cooks fish with salt and pepper." I understand that completely. If you want Mushroom Froth-Pistou Sauce (and I do because it sounds delicious), go to Le Bernadin. But flounder cooked in almost-brown butter with spring vegetables is good too, a different kind of good, and we can all make it at home.
It's not hard to pick a wine to go with this dish, most anything will be good, as long as it's not too heavy. I hadn't had a bottle of 2007 Domaine de la Pépière Granite de Clisson, $22, Imported by Louis/Dressner Selections, in a year and I wanted it. It seemed as though it would be fitting for this, the first real meal I cooked in my new apartment. Muscadet is humble, but this wine is not really so humble. Marc Olliver made this special wine from very old vines on Clisson granite terroir by leaving it on the lees for two years. It shows the freshness and lemony aromas and flavors that we expect from Muscadet, a more ample body from the extended lees aging, and as it unfolds it reveals great depth and complexity, and the weightless intensity that you find in wines made from very old vines. I found vivid anise and mineral aromas this time around, and I was especially impressed with the great clarity and elegance of the flavors. Granite de Clisson is great wine, I think the 2007 is fantastic, and for reasons that continue to baffle me in this age of $50 mediocre Villages-level white Burgundy, you can still find Granite de Clisson on the shelves here and there. You should give it a try if you haven't already.
I began writing this blog in September of 2006 and although some things about the way I write the blog have changed, some things have remained constant throughout. I try to write about what I'm learning and experiencing, and why it is important to me. I write about wine and food, not about the other things I feel passionate about. I try to tell a joke here and there. I don't cuss. I write the blog anonymously and I don't go into details about my personal life. Not out of any strong conviction, it just worked out that way.
I'm sure you can tell that I've had trouble writing lately, and I think I understand why now. You know how if you have a secret that you cannot figure out how to tell a friend, you wind up avoiding that friend? Until you finally figure out how to come clean, and then you feel normal again. Well, that's how I've been feeling about you, the group of people who read this blog. I have no idea who you are for the most part, but I know you're out there, and I am ready to share my secret with you so that I can stop avoiding you. I want to write and enjoy the blog again. This isn't easy for me to do, and I hope you will read this as therapeutic for me, nothing more than that. But I have to break my rule about sharing the boring details of my personal life.
BrooklynLady and I got separated several months ago and we are headed towards divorce. It has been the hardest, saddest, loneliest, strangest, angriest, most hopeless, scariest, most emotionally draining, and most unsettling experience of my life. And we are doing it amicably! I have my kids half the time, and everyone is healthy and doing the best they can.
I stayed in the apartment I'd been in in since before I started the blog, but I wanted to move, to have a fresh start. Not so easy, as it turns out. Prices have changed since I last looked, and I need a space that feels good enough to share with my kids, to be comfortable during this transition. I moved, it was a TOTAL debacle and had to move again a month later, but now it's been almost a week and I'm settling in, feeling better about my personal space and more confident about my ability to find balance and perhaps somewhere down the road, happiness. I'm still figuring out how to establish the rhythm for this new life, and I hope you'll be forgiving as I figure out how (and whether or not) writing the blog can be part of my new life.
Turns out that this wine pairs beautifully with unpacking a new apartment, by the way.
Some of my very best and most beloved friends are people who I know because of this blog. If I never write another post (figure of speech - I know what I want to write about tomorrow night when the kids go to sleep) I'll have that to take with me. But I hope that coming clean here, sharing something big about myself, will help me to feel normal again about writing.
Thanks for listening and for reading, and I don't feel so weird around you anymore.


Next postWhat do I say?
Happy New First Birthday Jacy!! What a miracle you are! What a survivor you are! Your indomitable spirit is incredible…and so it is also with your husband's spirit as well. I want you to know that I always think about and pray for you, James and your family…but on Monday, Independence Day I will be praying for your freedom, for a miracle, for God to restore you to good health. You have fought the battle…you deserve victory! May it be so…and may it be soon! We haven't met, but I feel that I know you and James and I am in awe of both of you!
Happy First new Birthday! I too as Susan have not had the honor and privilege of meeting you, but I have followed you for nearly two years. I admire you and James and the precious children. I have prayed for you so often. I have used your strength to put me in check when feeling low about a health issue, or life. You and James inspire many I know, you inspire me daily.
Continue to do what you need to, that you feel is right to do. God does have you in His hand, He loves you and knows your story as He is your author. Do all you can to cast your cares upon Him.
Thank you James for all you do, thank you for fighting fires, thank you for showing us all what a covenant marriage looks like, thank you for raising your children, and thank you for allowing so many of us to have a peek into your life.
I hope you have a blessed day. God Bless You!!!
James, you bless us with your words, making a safe window for us to view Jacy and your family's horrendous struggle. I'm always humbled and thankful for God's gift of life to me, because that is the angle I have to view you both from. Thank you for giving us the only thing we "strangers" can do – and that is to pray for Jacy's heeling and strength for you both.
Happy New Birthday Jacy! I have followed your story through your husbands words and you are an amazing woman and you have an amazing family!

Wantagh, NY: Rob Foerster, East Meadow, NY, gave himself a $1,000 birthday present by winning LIGBT's first Friday night event at AMF Wantagh. Rob won his third LIGBT title with a 253 handicap game to defeat second place finisher Sam Cooke, Patchogue, NY, by 12 pins. Sam earned $500 with his 241 while Damilyn LaCarruba, Lindenhurst, NY, finished third with a 215 worth $300. Rounding out the top 4 was Joe Kingston, Ronkonkoma, NY, with a 213 worth $250.
For Rob to win his third title he had to overcome a tremendous handicap disadvantage. Rob, who has one of the highest averages in the club, had to spot as much as 25 pins in handicap. Rob threw a no-tap 300 game by shooting all 9's and strikes including a four timer. He had to mark in the final frame to secure his title. Sam, who finished second, bowled well including a triple and double which forced Rob to keep on striking to win.
The AMF Wantagh tournament drew an impressive Friday night crowd of 104 entries, advanced 19 bowlers to the finals, and paid out $3,920 plus two Brunswick balls. Kegel's "Abbey Road" pattern (40 feet) was used resulting in moderate scoring; the cut was 716 in the 7pm squad and 708 in the 9pm squad.

Meadow, NY with a 198 worth $400.
The final shootout was a nerve racking event as all 3 bowlers were looking for their first LIGBT title.

Supreme Court Opinions > Stanford v. Kentucky
KEVIN STANFORD
Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 U.S. 361 (1989), was a United States Supreme Court case that sanctioned the imposition of the death penalty on offenders who were at least 16 years of age at the time of the crime. This decision came one year after Thompson v. Oklahoma, in which the Court had held that a 15-year-old offender could not be executed because to do so would constitute cruel and unusual punishment. In 2003, the Governor of Kentucky Paul E. Patton commuted the death sentence of Kevin Stanford, an action followed by the Supreme Court two years later in Roper v. Simmons overruling Stanford and holding that all juvenile offenders are exempt from the death penalty.
Holding: "The judgments are affirmed. The imposition of capital punishment on an individual for a crime committed at 16 or 17 years of age does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment under the Eighth Amendment."
JUSTICE O'CONNOR, concurring in part and concurring in the judgment.
Last Term, in Thompson v. Oklahoma, 487 U. S. 815, 487 U. S. 857 -858 (1988) (opinion concurring in judgment), I expressed the view that a criminal defendant who would have been tried as a juvenile under state law, but for the granting of a petition waiving juvenile court jurisdiction, may only be executed for a capital offense if the State's capital punishment statute specifies a minimum age at which the commission of a capital crime can lead to an offender's execution and the defendant had reached that minimum age at the time the crime was committed. As a threshold matter, I indicated that such specificity is not necessary to avoid constitutional problems if it is clear that no national consensus forbids the imposition of capital punishment for crimes committed at such an age. Id. at 487 U. S. 857. Applying this two-part standard in Thompson, I concluded that Oklahoma's imposition of a death sentence on an individual who was 15 years old at the time he committed a capital offense should be set aside. Applying the same standard today, I conclude that the death sentences for capital murder imposed by Missouri and Kentucky on petitioners Wilkins and Stanford respectively should not be set aside, because it is sufficiently clear that no national consensus forbids the imposition of capital punishment on 16or 17-year-old capital murderers.
In Thompson, I noted that
[t]he most salient statistic that bears on this case is that every single American legislature that has expressly set a minimum age for capital punishment has set that age at 16 or above.
Id. at 487 U. S. 849. It is this difference between Thompson and these cases, more than any other, that convinces me there is no national consensus forbidding the imposition of capital punishment for crimes committed at the age of 16 and older. See ante at 492 U. S. 370 -372. As the Court indicates, "a majority of the States that permit capital punishment authorize it for crimes committed at age 16 or above...." Ante at 492 U. S. 371. Three States, including Kentucky, have specifically set the minimum age for capital punishment at 16, see Ind.Code §35-50-2-3(b) (1988); Ky.Rev.Stat.Ann. §640.040(1) (Baldwin 1987); Nev.Rev.Stat. §176.025 (1987), and a fourth, Florida, clearly contemplates the imposition of capital punishment on 16-year-olds in its juvenile transfer statute, see Fla.Stat. §39.02(5)(c) (1987). Under these circumstances, unlike the "peculiar circumstances" at work in Thompson, I do not think it necessary to require a state legislature to specify that the commission of a capital crime can lead to the execution of a 16or 17-year-old offender. Because it is sufficiently clear that today no national consensus forbids the imposition of capital punishment in these circumstances, "the implicit nature of the [Missouri] Legislature's decision [is] not... constitutionally problematic." 487 U.S. at 487 U. S. 857. This is true, a fortiori, in the case of Kentucky, which has specified 16 as the minimum age for the imposition of the death penalty. The day may come when there is such general legislative rejection of the execution of 16or 17-year-old capital murderers that a clear national consensus can be said to have developed. Because I do not believe that day has yet arrived, I concur in Parts I, II, III, and IV-A of the Court's opinion, and I concur in its judgment.
I am unable, however, to join the remainder of the plurality's opinion for reasons I stated in Thompson. 492 U. S. " ante at 492 U. S. 378, the suggestion that, beyond an assessment of the specific enactments of American legislatures, there remains a constitutional obligation imposed upon this Court to judge whether the " nexus between the punishment imposed and the defendant's blameworthiness'" is proportional. Thompson, supra at 487 U. S. 853, quoting Enmund v. Florida, 458 U. S. 782, 458 U. S. 825 (1982) (O'CONNOR, J., dissenting). 492 U. S. In my view, this Court does have a constitutional obligation to conduct proportionality analysis. See Penry v. Lynaugh, ante at 492 U. S. 335 -340; Tison v. Arizona, 481 U. S. 137, 481 U. S. 155 -158 (1987); Enmund, 458 U.S. at 458 U. S. 797 -801; id. at 458 U. S. 825 -826 (O'CONNOR, J., dissenting). In Thompson, I specifically identified age-based statutory classifications as "relevant to Eighth Amendment proportionality analysis." 487 U.S. at 487 U. S. 854 (opinion concurring in judgment). Thus, although I do not believe that these particular cases can be resolved through proportionality analysis, see Thompson, supra, at 487 U. S. 853 -854, I reject the suggestion that the use of such analysis is improper as a matter of Eighth Amendment jurisprudence. Accordingly, I join all but Parts IV-B and V of the Court's opinion.


If you were told today that you had three days left to live, what would you do? Would you change anything from your normal everyday life? Would you give to charity, or the poor, make up with the relative/neighbor you haven't spoken with for years, or simply have to do something that didn't seem important before?
Perhaps if we are lead to do such things, maybe that is a clue we may not be living as we should now? Perhaps we should live our lives today as if tomorrow was never coming?
Often in the course of our lives we get caught up in things. These things are not always meant for bad, and many are even begun with good intentions but nevertheless things happen. If we are not careful we get stuck in our own little worlds, and don't realize the repercussions of our actions or lack of actions.
We find ourselves in what I like to call a "survival" mode. Basically meaning that we are just going through the motions necessary to live, feeling that we a have all the time in the world, and then find ourselves merely existing and not truly living.
The enemy of God wins in many people, not from battles won but merely by keeping their focus on everything else but God and their true spiritual needs. They loose the war of their own salvation, never having picked up their spiritual swords to fight. They die spiritually asleep.
have never found the time?
What we must understand is that our spiritual enemy will not always come face to face with his opponent. Often, all that is needed is to distract. It is much easier to win a fight if your opponent never chooses to defend themselves-amen?
Whether we want to participate or not, the battle is indeed real. We will choose a side and we will either win or loose. The cost is everything. Many will loose not from conquest but from straight out consent. They hand over eternity for a temporary earthly desire.
Thinking they have many years left, and then death comes knocking; pulling the rug from under them. If we read in Ecclesiastes 9:12 - Moreover, no man knows when his hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so men are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
And in Luke 21:34 we read- Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap. We should live each and everyday as if it were our last. Taking every opportunity we can as Christians to do a good work, help a fellow brother/sister and do as Christ instructed us to do.
Let us not put off anything of God, but be ready to stand in the gap for those that can not. Let not the judgment fall and the blood be on our hands, for we have done the will of the father when he spoke. Let us pray we have done all that was asked of us when we stand at the throne of God, and will hear" Enter in my good and faithful servant".


To safeguard access to healthcare: put the breaks on fees!
Montreal, January 21, 2018 – Following the abolition of accessory fees on January 26th, 2017, the Community Clinic's Right to Health Committee launched an accessory fee monitering registry. This tool enables the demonstration of the ongoing extent of billing practices that causes disparities in health care access. From January to October 2017, a total of 90 statements were recorded into the registry.
Preliminary analysis of the data shows that for this period the billing in medical clinics for drugs and anesthetic agents (accessory fees) has practically disappeared. "It is clear that the abolition of accessory fees is an important element in the fight against patient billing," says Élise-Mercier Gouin, member of the Right to Health Committee. In contrast, the billing of administrative fees, for example to fill out forms or for copies of medical files, has continued to increase during this period. Furthermore, many patients denounced the exorbitant amounts that were demanded for various eye care examinations. "In this regard, the problem remains unresolved, because it is impossible to establish whether these particular tests, which are done as a preventive measure or which precede cataract surgery, are necessary," adds Ms. Gouin. It should also be noted from the monitoring registry data that for 20% of respondents who had to undergo such examinations, the final bill exceeded $500.
In closing, on the issue of posting fees for uninsured medical services collected from patients, Geneviève McCready mentions that "as much at the RAMQ as at the Collège des médecins du Québec (CMQ), there are mechanisms to sanction faulty medical clinics that violate the regulations. In light of our investigation, it is clear that not so much sanctions are applied by these bodies. How do you expect patients to know if they are able to afford costs, if clinics do not display the required amounts?" she concludes.
Montreal community health clinic says eye care costs went up after accessory fees banned, Montreal Gazette, January 21, 2018.
Quebec doctors still charging administrative fees, watchdog group says, CBC News, January 21 2018.

L'Oréal and eBay settle dispute in counterfeit case
January 17, 2014 by Ecommerce News. About Online store with tags Europe, France. 3056 views.
L'Oréal and eBay have finally reached a settlement in a counterfeit case that has been rumbling on for over six years. Since 2007, the two firms were arguing about the sale of counterfeit L'Oréal goods that were being sold on the online marketplace EBay.
The French cosmetics company brought eBay to court in five European countries (UK, Germany, France, Belgium and Spain), accusing the online marketplace of being involved in trade mark infringements committed by users of its website. But this week the two companies have settled their differences and vowed to work together. "The parties believe that cooperation, rather than litigation, is the way forward to fight against counterfeiting", L'Oréal announced in a joint statement with eBay.
The English High Court first ruled in favor of eBay, but it referred the case to the European Court of Justice in 2009 after it questioned if eBay could be held responsible for selling of counterfeit goods. The ruling from the European court said three years ago that websites like eBay can't turn a blind eye to the unauthorized sale of counterfeit goods. When a website owner facilitates or fails to stop the unauthorized sale of these kinds of products, he may also be guilty of infringing a trademark owner's rights.
Not the first time for eBay
eBay previously said that it has systems which make sure counterfeit goods are being removed when identified as such, but that it's the responsibility or trademark holders to monitor for such merchandise. In the United Stated, there was previously a case between eBay and Tiffany & Co, which ruled in favor of eBay, saying the online marketplace wasn't responsible for trademark infringements for selling counterfeit products via its site. In 2008 however, eBay had to pay LVMH 40 million euros for failing to prevent the sale of counterfeit goods of the French luxury goods firm.

Q: Prarse String to Html and Components I am building a website with Nextjs and have my course lessons stored in a different file. In there I have String containing content like for example
taskInfo: `

Hello World!

    For this lesson, we will be creating a simple "Hello World!" program.

    If you forgot how to do this, revisit the previous lesson.

    <CodeSnippet
    language="javascript"
    >
    console.log("Hello World!");
    </CodeSnippet>

    `,

My goal now is to pass this string as a prop to a component and display that string on the screen with the components and the rendered HTML. I've tried things like html-to-react or unified or babel, but they all provided their own errors and didn't work. Html-To-React, for example, only converts the HTML but not the component.

For the inaugural "From the Trenches" interview, I am very pleased to introduce Mark Dawson. We have had the honor and privilege of working with Mark from the start of his self-publishing career, when he first got back the rights to some books he had published though a publisher. From those small beginnings, Mark has become an extremely successful full-time author, selling hundreds of thousands of books and coming to the attention of TV and movie producers. Time will tell if we will be seeing his stories on the big (or small) screen in the future – fingers crossed!
Thank you very much for taking the time to do this interview, Mark. To start with, can you tell us a bit about yourself, and how you got started writing?
I'm Mark Dawson, the author of the John Milton and Beatrix Rose books. I've been writing for 15 years. I was originally traditionally published, but I've found success by going straight to readers via Amazon and the other self-publishing platforms.
Marketing is definitely one of your strengths (along with writing amazing books, of course!) Did you originally sit down and try to map out a marketing plan for your books, or did it more develop organically over time?
I wish I were as organised as to be able to develop a plan! It has accreted over time. I keep an eye out for new developments and, if I think something is worth looking at, I'll experiment. If it works, I'll add it to my list.
How important do you feel it is to focus on building an author "brand", verses focusing on just the books?
They do not need to be exclusive. I do have a brand – covers and website all match, for example – but you can't take your eye off the ball when it comes to the quality of the books, either. A brand isn't much use if the product is bad.
In broad terms you can break book marketing down into three stages – promotion of a new book before it's launch, promotion of a book at it's launch, and ongoing promotion of your book after release. Do you tend to focus on just one or two of these areas, or do you work on all areas fairly evenly?
I focus on them all equally. I have a carefully tested launch strategy that can usually get the book off to a great start, but, once it's out there, I'll advertise regularly to keep sending traffic to its retailer page.
Can you talk us through your activities for each stage of marketing with your books?
Before release: I have a large Advance Team who will read it a month or so before release and then review quickly when it is available.
At release: the Advance Team will leave reviews and often buy the book, too. I have 25,000 readers on my email list now, too, and so I will fire out a series of emails to tell them about the book, too. I might also advertise to them with Facebook ads.
After release: I'll use services like BookBub and I'll run Facebook ads on my boxed sets.
It's interesting that you mention Facebook, as I've heard a lot of negative opinions on them from other fiction authors. What tips do you have on how authors can make it work for them?
Facebook is the most powerful ads platform for authors today. They are not easy to get right, which is why I produced a course for authors at www.selfpublishingformula.com. There are free videos on the site that will teach you exactly how to use ads to build your mailing list (more than enough to get started without needing to buy the course).
You also mentioned your Advance Team earlier. How did you go about building this group initially, and how do you continue to build it?
I build the team by sending out recruitment emails to my mailing list. I have stopped for the last few months because I have a good number of advance readers, but, should I need to refresh them, it's just a question of switching the email back on again.
How important do you find relationships with other authors is when it comes to book promotions?
Not very useful, really. I have picked up some great tips from others that work really well, but I don't do any joint promotions.
How do you encourage or lead readers to read your backlist if they come in to your books with your latest release?
I'll have calls to action in the front and back of the books that encourage them to join my mailing list, and I'll email them about backlist titles (as well as giving them a few for free). Apart from that, I have a bibliography in the back of my books and I make sure that my Amazon author page is pristine.
You mentioned the (rather large!) mailing list you have. What (and how often) do you send to them so they remain interested in staying subscribed and listening to what you have to say?
I don't email much – only when I have something that I think they might like to know about. That could be a new book, a promotion, or some other piece of news that I want to share with them. Mailing lists can work for everyone, and they should be the first thing that a new author develops.
Which social media site have you found to be the most effective in connecting with your readers?
Facebook – by far. I spend around $400 a day on Facebook ads, and will usually make a 50% profit. I also have a very active Facebook page with a lot of interaction with readers. I'm working on developing Twitter, too. Good early signs there, and I have a few thousands followers. I haven't had much to do with other sites.
What is the most costly mistake you've made while trying to promote your books?
I don't see anything as a mistake. It's all a chance to learn. That said, I have been lucky so far and haven't lost significant amounts of money on any of the things I have tried. It's all about research and preparation.
Do you do much tracking of your marketing efforts, to see what's working for you and what isn't?
I pay close attention. I review my sales numbers every other day and my Facebook campaigns every day. I have several very large spreadsheets with all the data I could ever want.
What methods for promotion did you used to use (that worked well), but no longer use because they stopped being effective for you?
Some of the smaller ad sites don't deliver enough bang for my buck these days; it's not that they won't deliver DLs, because they do, it's just that it isn't worth my time to apply for the promos when I'm only going to get a modest return. I have to be quite careful with how I spend my working hours now.
Have you found things have changed over the past few years, as the indie author market has grown so quickly?
The tone on some of the boards I used to love has changed, and not for the better, and that's a shame. There's a lot of bitterness from those who discover that there is no such thing as a Kindle gold rush, and that hard work is needed to make a career in this space. It is harder to get noticed amid all the noise, but there are ways. Facebook has been a game changer for me, and has added 20-30% to my profits over the last six months.
What is the most common mistake you see other authors making when promoting their book?
Shouting, "buy my book", ad nauseam, on Twitter. No one is listening.
I know what you mean! What resources have you found the most helpful in learning what you know about book marketing today?
Forums, back in the day. Then self-pub podcasts. Latterly, I've been broadening my scope to include Internet marketing resources.
I spent several years "playing" in the Internet marketing world – I wish you all the best in retaining your sanity 🙂 If you could travel back in time and speak to your young self just before you were about to write your first book, what piece of advice would you give them so that they would be further ahead now than you currently are?
Build a mailing list from Day 1. I was about a year too slow to take that seriously. It's the most important tool in a new writer's arsenal.
I agree. Thank you very much for taking the time to do this interview, Mark – I know how busy you are these days!
Featured in Forbes, The Financial Times, and across the BBC, Mark Dawson is the bestselling author of the John Milton, Beatrix Rose, Isabella Rose and Soho Noir series.
The John Milton books feature a disgruntled assassin who aims to help people to make amends for the things that he has done.
The Beatrix Rose series feature the headlong fight for justice of a wronged mother – who happens to be an assassin – against the six names on her Kill List. The Isabella Rose series continues that story.
And Soho Noir is set in the West End of London between 1940 and 1970. It has been compared to The Sopranos in austerity London.
Until recently, Dawson worked in the London film industry. He now writes full-time.

The Score Adds Ex-Bear Mannelly
670 The Score has announces that Chicago Bears' recently retired long snapper Patrick Mannelly has joined the station. Mannelly will have a few roles with the station during the upcoming football season.
The Chicago Bears drafted Mannelly out of Duke University in the 1998 NFL Draft. He was a starter his rookie season and played every game that year. In fact, he has played in just about every Chicago Bears game since 1998, missing very few due to injuries. Mannelly holds the record for the most games played as a Chicago Bear and is the longest tenured player in team history.
Less than one month ago, on June 20th, Mannelly, announced his retirement from professional football.
He may be retired from playing football, but Mannelly, 39, is far from retired from working. The longtime local gridiron star now joins WSCR-AM as a Bears and football expert.
Each Sunday before a Chicago Bears game, WSCR-AM has a pre-game show with Hub Arkush and Dan Pompei. Patrick Mannelly will now be the third co-host of that show.
In addition, Mannelly will appear on WSCR-AM talk shows during the week to discuss the current football season, as well as contributing a weekly Bears blog to the station's website.
Mitch Rosen, WSCR-AM Program Director, said today: "I love this move for our station, here is a Chicago Bears player who retired less than 30 days ago, played 16 years in the NFL and now is on The Score team. This season could be an epic season for the Bears and to have a former player like Pat analyzing the team is a huge win for our listeners and the Chicago Bear fans."
Mannelly previously had had a taste of radio work in the last few years, contributing a regular weekly morning appearance on "The Eric & Kathy Show" on WTMX-FM/101.9 The Mix. The segment during the football season was called "Mannelly Mondays."

"Learning under skilled leaders such as Terry Foxx, Sean Thompson, Reggie Rouse, and Mike Conti helped prepare Gebhardt for the next step."
Sactown Sports 1140 has found their next program director. After an extensive search, GM Steve Cottingim and Bonneville Sacramento's Group Director of Programming Chad Rufer have found their next leader in Atlanta, GA, tabbing Brian Gebhardt to guide the brand's programming department.
Gebhardt heads west to join Bonneville Sacramento after enjoying over seven years of success at 92.9 The Game. He has served recently as the Executive Producer of the 'Andy & Randy' show featuring Randy McMichael and Andy Bunker. During his time with the Atlanta sports station, Gebhardt has learned under skilled leaders such as Terry Foxx, Sean Thompson, Reggie Rouse, and Mike Conti. Those experiences prepared Gebhardt for the next step, as did working with numerous on-air talents who have helped The Game become a model of consistency in Georgia.
"Brian's experience working with both premiere talent and professional sports franchises will help us help the Sactown Sports brand grow both on-air and on-line ," said Cottingim.
"Brian demonstrated to us a real passion for leading extraordinary talent," shared Rufer. "We are very confident that he will help us grow Sactown Sports into Sacramento's premiere sports brand."
"I can't wait to get started and I am beyond excited to be working with Bonneville," added Gebhardt.
The hiring of the Georgia native as new PD allows Nick Cattles to focus exclusively on hosting the station's afternoon show, a role he's wanted to invest more time. Cattles joined Sactown Sports in November 2021 and has pulled double duty since arriving in Northern California. He hired Ramie Makhlouf as his afternoon drive co-host and the duo have built a solid foundation in afternoons. Having the ability now to focus solely on the show should allow Cattles and Ramie to elevate their program even more.
The first day on the job for Gebhardt will be Monday February 3rd. Depending on what develops with the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC playoffs, there's a possibility he could be walking into two straight weeks of Super Bowl planning. Regardless, Gebhardt has a new market to learn, a new team to meet, a new company to deliver results for, and an opportunity to take a big step in his radio career.
"We can't allow someone that represents the exact opposite of us to damage the goodwill of our brand or create confusion in the community."
After Bonneville International unveiled new branding for its Denver Sports properties, digital outlet DNVR Sports has filed an injunction to stop the radio company from utilizing the brand and logos.
In a Twitter thread, ALLCITY Network CEO Brandon Spano claimed DNVR Sports has already seen listeners, viewers, and readers confuse the two brands. "We can't allow someone that represents the exact opposite of us to damage the goodwill of our brand or create confusion in the community," Spano tweeted.
I want to make this statement so that our community understands why we're doing this.
We hate media beefs as much as everyone else but we can't allow someone that represents the exact opposite of us to damage the goodwill of our brand or create confusion in the community. https://t.co/mp2ZsrXl07
— Spano (@BrandonSpano) January 17, 2023
"Our branding was created purposefully, to be different from the way sports networks traditionally looked," he said in another tweet. "To represent the city of Denver in a simple way while removing us from the gloss and pretentiousness of sports media. To create something that brings people together."
Spano added that ALLCITY sent Bonneville a cease-and-desist letter last week, but claims the company failed to respond, so an injunction has been filed.
The Denver Sports branding utilized by Bonneville — which encompasses 104.3 The Fan and ESPN Denver — features a black and white city skyline as well as the Rocky Mountains inside a hexagon with block lettering. The DNVR Sports logo is a rectangle, similar to the city of Denver flag, with the sun centered between the mountain peaks and a block "DNVR" below the rectangle.
The complaint filed by StudioIP LLC — the law firm representing ALLCITY — claims the branding used by Bonneville constitutes "trademark infringement, unfair competition, trade dress infringement, dilution by tarnishment, and tortious interference arising out of Bonneville's trademark infringement of Plaintiff's trademarks," according to Westword.
Bonneville has denied any wrongdoing, saying the accusations "have absolutely no merit, and our legal counsel is preparing a formal response. Denver Sports remains committed to delivering the most in-depth and inclusive local sports content for all Denver sports fans."
"Didinger will be a member of the new morning show with Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie on 94WIP once Angelo Cataldi officially retires."
Longtime Philadelphia sports personality Ray Didinger stepped away from his media roles at NBC Sports Philadelphia and 94WIP in 2022, but he couldn't stay away forever.
The 75-year-old returned to NBC Sports Philadelphia late in 2022 as a member of the Eagles Postgame show and decided to return to the venerable Philadelphia sports radio station as well.
Didinger will work on an as-needed basis for DeCamara and Ritchie, contributing to news surrounding the Eagles. Known for his yellow notepad, Didinger has covered the franchise for more than 50 years.
After his retirement, Didinger was the subject of an episode of NFL Films Presents… in December, at the time telling Cataldi he had stayed busy in retirement.
"It's been busier than I thought," Didinger said. "Just because of the way things have gone in the city. The Phillies going to the World Series, the Eagles are 10-1, I don't think any of us thought it was going to be this kind of run.
"Consequently, my phone hasn't stopped ringing. I had no idea everyone in the world has a podcast so I've been getting all those calls. My name and my phone number are on way too many rolodexes all around the country. When somebody says 'Hey, let's do a piece about Philly', my phone rings. It's been busy but it's been good. It's been great to see what this has meant to the city."
