HM: Genki, Extra, Wave, Vasi, Kneesus, Orion, Jezmo
Can't go wrong with BT.
HM: Quen, Pulse, Jezmo, Vasi, Jaice, AT, D-J
Luminescent. When there's an argument in the shoutouts, he starts talking about bubble tea and rainbows. He obviously has villainous intentions.
Time to put more fuel in KuroganeHammer's ego fire.
Jaice - He's always encouraging people to come to tournaments. Even after double three stocking them with Bayonetta, some of them still come back!
HM: KuroganeHammer, Shitashi, Duon, Pudge

AzureWolf - Mr "What's a shield poke?" and "Forward A in the air." He doesn't have the best smash vocab, but he's such a genius that he doesn't need it. He'll be number one in QLD before he leaves.

Sandbag's Revenge live now! Ft. Jezmo, Jaice, Shitashi, Luminescent.
Some of you may be wondering why the stream cut in the last stock of winners finals of all times. The Sandbag's Revenge venue has pretty bad internet and as a result the stream was on an increasing delay all day. By the end the delay was about 50 minutes, and when I pressed the stop stream button to leave the venue, grand finals had already been well over. I have a local recording too, so the high-quality VODs will be up Tuesday. Sorry for the confusion.
GUF #42 Highlights by Umbrella are out! https://youtu.be/ZaSVQdfO-ak
The crew battle this week we will be original characters vs clones. Thanks cAKE for the suggestion. It will be Link, Mario, Marth, Fox, Falcon, Pit vs Toon Link, Dr Mario, Lucina, Falco, Ganon, Dark Pit.
Sandbag's Revenge is also happening on Saturday from 9:30am to 6pm.

Diaminooksydaza (DAO) – enzym adaptacyjny produkowany naturalnie przez organizm kobiet w trakcie ciąży.

Pomiar stężenia enzymu we krwi umożliwia ustalenie przybliżonej daty zapłodnienia, a także monitorowanie pierwszej połowy ciąży. Poziom enzymu wzrasta w odpowiedzi na produkcję histaminy przez płód. Jest produkowany przez doczesną. Stężenie we krwi ciężarnej zwiększa się między 6. a 24. tygodniem ciąży, następnie do porodu utrzymuje się na stałym poziomie. Zmniejszające się stężenie enzymu DAO może wskazywać na obumieranie płodu. Diaminooksydaza katalizuje utlenianie histaminy i innych diamin.

First we wan't to create a simple Sakuli test and execute in two different containerized UIs. The test should first validate the starting page of the sahi web testing component. Afterwards it should open the Gnome Calculator and calculate 525 + 100 and validate the Result of 625. At least the test should open gedit and paste there a message for us that all went fine.
Web testing component: Sahi starting page.
Native UI component: Gnome Calculator + gedit.
The implementation of the test case is very simple, you can just mix web and native testing methods. Take a look at the file: part_01/example_xfce/case1/sakuli_demo.js.
The method checkCentOS just makes a small native Linux command to define in witch operating system the test will be executed. If the operating system is CentOS Sakuli will load the screenshot images from the folder part_01/example_xfce/case1/centos and overwrite the default images defined in part_01/example_xfce/case1.
There are some testCase.endOfStep("<step_name>", <step_waring_time>) function calls. There you define that all statements above belong to one test step. The integer value for <step_warning_time> defines what's the maximum time in seconds for executing the above test. If the step breaks the threshold, Sakuli will end in the the state warning in step. In Part 2, we will see the values represented in a grafana graph.
If you get the exception java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /opt/test/example_xfce/_logs please ensure that you local files have the correct file permissions. If you not sure you can run chmod a+rw -R . or change user: 1000 to your own user id (execute id -u). Alternatively you can use the root user user: '0'.
During the execution you can open the VNC Overview Page to watch the test case execution in live via VNC. The CLI option --force-recreate is needed to force Docker Compose to truly start a fresh container instance of the image.
To evaluate if all went fine, just verify the exit code is not 0 or the logs at part_01/example_xfce/_logs/_sakuli.log. Another possibility is to look at the docker logs e.g.
In the second part of the tutorial, we will send the gathered results to a containerized OMD Labs monitoring server.
First we want to create a service configuration for the created sakuli tests. Therefore we created the file part_02/omd-nagios/ansible_dropin/xfce_checks/files/sakuli_e2e_monitoring_nagios_objects.cfg. For details see Sakuli Documentation - OMD Gearman Forwarder.
For production usage it's also possible to set the environment variable SAKULI_FORWARDER_GEARMAN_SECRET_KEY, see Sakuli - Property loading mechanism.
To stop the loop press CTRL + C.
After a few runs we should be able the the some graphs. Therefore click on the Extra Action button and a Grafana dashboard should appear. To get better view of the latest results choose Last 15 minutes as time interval.
The red/yellow lines are representing the critical/warning times from the suite respectively the test case definition of Part 1. If one of the threshold is exceeded the service will change state to WARNING or CRITICAL and trigger a notification. To enable E-Mail notification, see OMD Notifications.
The above tutorial shows how easy it is to setup a fully functional end-to-end monitoring with Sakuli, OMD and Docker. Sometime this use case is also called "application monitoring", but however Sakuli will no detect if an application is down, has functional errors or even have a performance issue.
After all is set up, the example test cases can now be used as template for your own e2e tests and monitoring environment. With the release 1.1.0 it's also possible to run the whole setup in container management solutions like Kubernetes or OpenShift. To get more information about this or about how to write your own e2e tests take a look to our other Tutorials or to the official Sakuli Documentation.
If you need help or you have some further questions feel free to contact us through sakuli@consol.de or open an issue at Github: github.com/sakuli-examples/issues.

Celebrate Universal Family Week | Peoplefinders.com | Learn More!
Did you know that May 9th – 15th is Universal Family Week? It's the time of year to reflect on the importance of family by reaching out to relatives near and far. Everyone knows that it's important to spend time with family, both immediate and extended. What could be better than good ol' fashioned family time with grandparents telling stories to grandkids, cousins playing games, and aunts and uncles spoiling their nieces and nephews? This year, celebrate Universal Family Week with your family, even if you've lost touch over the years.
It can be hard to keep in contact with certain members of your extended family over the years, especially if you're from a large family. People move, sometimes far across the country, and it's quite easy to get so busy that you forget to call or write. Of course your family members are always in your heart, but what happens if you lose touch completely? If you want to find family members, you are going to need the help of PeopleFinders.com.
Even though it seems like everyone is on social media these days, they aren't. Uncle Bob, Aunt Sally, or cousin Lucy . . . what if they aren't posting every moment of their life online? A simple Google search or visit to a social media site isn't going to do the trick. PeopleFinders.com is a simple tool that allows you to easily find lost family members with a small amount of information. Just enter in the details you remember about the person and you'll be happy to see how much information comes up. Getting back in touch with family you haven't seen for years is just that simple. Don't wait for Universal Family Week – you can do it now.
Once you reconnect with family near and far thanks to PeopleFinders.com, then what? How about having a family reunion? Universal Family Week is a great time to plan a party and get the whole gang together. Planning a family reunion may seem daunting, so here are some fun tips to get things started.
1. Plan ahead. This is especially important if you will be inviting guests from out of town. It takes a while to book plane flights, request time off, and plan all of the details of a long trip. Giving out-of-town guests at least a few months to make their travel plans is a good idea.
2. Speaking of out-of-town guests, you may also want to think about making arrangements for them to stay with in-town family, if that's a possibility. It's even better if you don't know the family who is staying with you all that well. It will give you time to get to know each other outside of the family reunion.
3. When it comes to the actual event, keep it simple. You aren't trying to impress anyone. This is just an opportunity for everyone to get together, reconnect, and have fun. Make it a potluck so everyone has a chance to contribute (and no one person is stuck in the kitchen). If it's outside, have everyone bring their own chair or blanket. Don't overthink the details. All you really need there is your family – everything else is just extra.
4. There are some fun ideas to consider for your family reunion. Maybe have ice breaker games to encourage interactions between those who don't know each other as well. Make place cards for the tables and mix up immediate families or relatives who live close to each other. And of course, it's always fun to make t-shirts or hats for everyone to wear that say something like "Smith Family Reunion". You can even have fabric markers on hand so everyone can sign each other's shirt.
No matter how you choose to celebrate Universal Family Week, with a big family reunion or just a phone call to a relative you haven't spoken to in a while, PeopleFinders.com can help. Find people quickly and then spend time enjoying your family.

Choose Your Language: Verbs with Verve
Quality content is more than clearly written, it's compelling as well. It has a distinctive voice that clearly sounds like a unique writer. With that in mind, work on your verb choices to create compelling, unique content. Verbs work like mules, pulling your prose and your readers forward — if you choose them well. Much more important than adjectives and adverbs, verbs are often referred to as the "engine of the lanugage" by creative writing teachers.
The first verb you think of is often not the best verb. For example, any form of "to be" (is, are, was, were, being), "become," "put" and "get" are all limp noodles. This is not to say that you can never use them, but writers who press themselves toward better writing purge these verbs whenever possible. They use them while drafting and keep right on writing, but return to them later for retrofitting. Some of them will remain. It is, after all, a bit much to replace every instance of "to be." But many will go the way of yesterday's newspaper.
Whether you write poetry, a blog, quality content articles or news articles, strong verbs will always improve your writing. For example, look at the difference between these two sentences:
He walked through the snow toward his grandmother's house.
He trudged through the snow toward his grandmother's house.
The second sentence, with its verb "trudge" clouds with an ominous meaning that the first one just doesn't capture. When you abandon "walk" for "trudge," you add all the implied meaning of hard labor, determination and dread. If you were to use "skip" instead of "trudge," you would add a different set of implications. "Walk," a first-thought verb, does none of that work.
Four ways to create better quality content and brighten your writing with strong verbs include awareness, using your word-processor, eliminating adverbs and turning nouns into verbs. Awareness is a matter of continued effort. The more you try, the more you will catch those lightweight first-thought verbs. You will also begin to notice verbs in other people's writing, which is itself a way of heightening your awareness.
As your awareness develops, compile a list of the weak verbs that you use most often. For example, "get," "got" and "become." After you finish a draft, use the find function on your word processor to locate, eradicate and replace them. Use a thesaurus when you're stumped.
If you notice that you use a lot of adverbs, you probably aren't giving enough thought to your verbs. Find one strong verb to replace both the adverb and the verb. The example sentence above might have read, "He walked slowly and heavily through the snow, toward his grandmother's house." But "trudge" does the work of both the original adverbs and verb. "Trudge" transcends the mundane and results in higher quality content.
More challenging, but sometimes particularly fruitful, is reading your prose for words that act as both nouns and verbs. For example, "scissor." You might write, "That morning, he used a scissor to cut his beard, watching whiskers fall into the sink." Get rid of the weak "use" and change the noun, scissor, to the more interesting verb: "That morning, he scissored through his whiskers, watching them fall into the sink." Notice the second version is also less wordy and more concise. Sometimes this technique will lead you to completely revise a sentence or passage.
After you apply these techniques, your writing will improve. You will create higher quality content, tighter, more resonate prose, and break into a more distinctive, engaging voice.

Q: How does load affect an RC-filtered PWM DAC? When using a PWM as a DAC, how does load affect the output voltage & current? How do you know whether the design needs a buffer?

A: The analog signal from the filtered PWM will have some source impedance.  You can break that into two parts to understand it more easily.  Think of it as a 0 impedance source in series with a resistor of the actual impedance value.  Now you can see that this resistor and and load resistance form a voltage divider.  This is in fact the basis of Thevenin's theorum.  Use that as a search term and you will find much about it, so there is no need for me to get more deeply into it here.
Any load will make the output sag a little.  At some point it will make it sag to the level you care, and buffering is one way to allow for a lower load impedance than that.  The output will sag to half its unloaded value when the load impdance equals the signal source impedance.

Aequus (TSX-V:AQS) Advances Clinical Development of Transdermal Aripiprazole Patch
By Brisco CapitalOctober 17, 2016No Comments
Vancouver, BC. October 17, 2016 – Aequus Pharmaceuticals Inc. (TSX-V: AQS, OTCQB: AQSZF) ("Aequus" or the "Company"), a specialty pharmaceutical company with a focus on developing, advancing and promoting differentiated products, announced today that is has filed a Clinical Trial Application (CTA) with Health Canada for its once-weekly transdermal aripiprazole patch. Aequus has developed this product to provide patients with sustained and controlled delivery of aripiprazole in a convenient, weekly dosage form. Upon approval of the CTA, the Company plans to initiate a repeat dose, 28-day safety and bioavailability study of aripiprazole transdermal patches in eight healthy volunteers in late 2016.
Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic and the active ingredient in Abilify®, a leading medication in the US used for the treatment of a number of psychiatric disorders including bipolar I disorder, schizophrenia, major depressive disorder and irritability associated with autistic disorder. Patient adherence to antipsychotic medication is a significant challenge, and presents an estimated 42% risk of relapsing following a missed dose. A seven-day application of aripiprazole is intended to provide patients with a convenient and easy to use long acting alternative and is expected to reduce the rate of relapse that may result from patients not adhering to their prescribed dosing schedule.
The currently planned study is a follow-on to the successfully completed single exposure proof of concept study, which suggested that the current formulation delivers sustained levels of therapeutic doses of aripiprazole over a seven day period. The planned repeat dose proof of concept study has a primary objective to assess the bioavailability of aripiprazole delivered in patch form after repeated administration in healthy volunteers. The secondary objective of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of aripiprazole transdermal patch following repeated administration over a period of 4 weeks.
"We are very excited to see the continued advancement of this program," said Dr. Don McAfee, Chief Scientific Officer at Aequus. "A seven-day patch that reliably delivers a sustained dose of aripiprazole has the potential to improve treatment adherence, reducing the risk of relapse associated with missed doses and reducing the burden of medicating in both home care settings and in institutions."

Did you recently receive a renewal notice from DMV requiring a DEQ certificate?
Car emissions are the leading cause of air pollution in Oregon. Every two years, the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) will required your vehicle to pass a test to approve the levels of emissions your car exhausts.
Maintaining your vehicle properly will help its intended performance. Most cars built after 1996 have an on-board diagnostic computer system which monitors car emissions. Due to improved technology, these newer vehicles run cleaner and more efficiently. Yet when an engine isn't working as designed, emissions increase and fuel is wasted.
When your "check engine" light is on, more than likely you won't pass DEQ. Your car will need to be scanned to determine the problem. If left unattended, simple engine hiccups can turn into bigger, more expensive complications.
Remember to bring your DMV registration renewal.
DEQ accepts cash, pin-less debit/credit cards or money order for both the emissions test and DMV registration fees.
Make sure all trailers are disconnected from the vehicle.
Let Lance help you keep your vehicle performing right. At Lance's Superior Auto, we will scan your car's computer and make sure you emissions are low and your car is the best it can be.


In "The economic impact of innovation patents", IP Australia found that the majority of SMEs gained "little to no benefit" from participating in this system. The scheme's goal of increasing innovation among SMEs appeared to have not been met due to low rates of repeated applications - only 23 SMEs had regular (five or more) applications for innovation patents.
Introduced in 2001, innovation patents offer a lower cost, lower inventive threshold and a shorter term for the intention of boosting innovation and allowing the faster turnaround of products with a short lifecycle.
Despite these good intentions, the system has only created a wider gap in innovation between SMEs and larger firms, the latter of which were more likely to make repeated applications and also certify their innovation patents for longevity.
One of the challenges that the innovation patent system inadvertently introduced was the high regulatory costs. These included cost of time spent filing and renewing patents, seeking examinations and disputes related to patents. IP Australia monetised these time costs and found that innovation patents cost SMEs a total of $3,508,000.
Taking into account the numbers of SMEs that applied for patents, this works out at an average cost of $1192 per firm in time lost. For many small Australian firms with limited resources, this is not a sustainable cost.
If these types of businesses are considering applying for innovation patents, it may be wise to consult asset management software to determine if the pay-off is worth the time cost to the company. Although harder to obtain, standard patents may be the better choice in the long term for providing value to the business.

Q: Как можно строку с пробелом преобразовать в число? Как можно такую строку: 12 34, 123 456преобразовать в число?

var counter = 2;
    num = $('i').text();

console.log(num);
console.log(parseInt(num));
console.log(num*counter);

120 250 коп.

A: parseInt(String(num).replace(/ /g, ''))

UPD
String(num) нужен, чтобы избежать ошибки

replace is not a function

в случае, если num оказалось просто числом. Например, если этот код используется в функции, и один раз на её вход подати не '12', а 12.

A: Решила так parseInt(num.replace(/\s+/g, ''),10):

var num = $('i').text();

console.log(num);
console.log(parseInt(num.replace(/\s+/g, ''),10));

Why the difference in opinion between critics and fans on TLJ
By The Choc,
July 16, 2018 in Star Wars
The Choc
Anyone who cares enough to remember knows that I love The Last Jedi, that's all well and good. We also know that the movie was terribly divisive among fans. However it was loved by critics. Here are the metacritic scores for all 10 Star Wars movies.
1-Star Wars 90
2-The Last Jedi 85
3-The Empire Strikes Back 82
4-The Force Awakens 81
5-Revenge of the Sith 68
6-Rogue One 65
7-Solo 62
8-Return of the Jedi 58
9-Attack of the Clones 54
10-The Phantom Menace 51
Now my rankings wouldn't be all that off from this. Maybe bounce Empire to the top and keep everything in the same order and I wouldn't argue with it much at all. But I mean this site which averages out critics rankings has TLJ over the friggin ESB. Like I said I love TLJ so I'm probably not the right person to even have an opinion on this.
So basically those of you who hate the movie or are lukewarm or whatever, why do you think the disconnect? Especially when you consider that the rest of the rankings here probably don't deviate all that much from general fan consensus, both overall and on this site.

Sorry Tank, while you have a well thought-out and well-written response, I really disagree with some of what you said, there. I want to say that I really do respect your opinion, and find your posts
Jacen123
I have only skimmed through the last few posts after discussion resumed about how so many people hated TLJ and I just wanted to step back in and mention that I actually provided data from a source tha
To start off, you clarified that you weren't going for the Grey Jedi thing, which is what I thought. Keeping with what was set up by JJ, which I think was all about the mystery box and not about the
ShadowDog
Critics probably aren't hard core SW fans. Therein lies the disconnect.
Well the cynic in me thinks they were paid off, directly or indirectly. It was simply in the best interests of the critics to praise TLJ.
If it wasn't that, I can only assume that they liked it because it was different. It broke so many of the SW rules that it felt fresh to them. The fact that it was so far outside the box, however, is precisely why so many fans hated it.
Having said all of that, it's an abomination tha TLJ ranks higher than ESB on that list. Wow.
God you are a cynic. So your thought process is that Warners wouldn't pay off critics for their DC movies or that Lucasfilm didn't for Solo or the prequels but for TLJ they did?
I understand that, I'm asking what they are seeing different in the movies.
I went to look at Johnson's other films and this is substantially higher rates than Brick.
All critics opinions are invalidated.
I said I didn't know (or implied). Either they were paid off of they actually liked it. Either way, it's weird.
I mean invalidated because Brick is at 71% (pretty sure - maybe 73)
It's amazing to look at some of the reviews of Empire that were written back in 1980. Here is a snippet from the WSJ review from May of 1980:
Wall Street JournalJoy Gould Boyum
No, this time out, the "Star Wars" enterprise isn't anywhere as enjoyable as the original...One might argue that all this represents a gain, adding to the original, sophistication, richness, depth. But truth to tell, these developments seem little more than inappropriate. To place internal struggles within one-dimensional characters who by definition have no interior is absurd; just as it also seems misguided to take such frothy stuff as the "Star Wars" saga and attempt to give it substance and weight.
Critics are a funny bunch. When The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly first came out they buried it as trash. Ten years later they were praising it as a masterpiece.
Or this one from Dave Kehr of the Chicago Reader:
Chicago ReaderDave Kehr
Mainly it's marking time: the characters take a definite backseat to the special effects, and much of the action seems gratuitous, leading nowhere.
Same thing with The Shining, which was actually nominated for a Razzie in 1980.
I guarantee you that if the PT had come out in the social media age it would get the same treatment as TLJ.
In 1999 we nerds just flocked to message boards to commiserate together. The same type of rage, confusion, and anger was there the too.
The difference is now, every single angry nerd has a youtube channel and a twitter account and they get to find each other easier, @ Rian Johnson directly, and otherwise make the biggest amount of noise as they can.
True, but to Choc's point why did the critics love TLJ so much? They rightfully trashed the PT, but the fact that TLJ is ranked over ESB is just weird.
Most of Empire's reviews on that site, or at least several of them, are from 1980. If you take reviews written more recently I'm sure Empire would be higher. For instance Empire on Rotten Tomatoes is 95%, the Last Jedi is a still impressive 91%. Although even that probably underestimates the critical acclaim for the movie as with "Top Critics" it has 49 out of 51 positive reviews whereas Empire is 22 of 25 with Top Critics.
Empire has obviously gone up in esteem since 1980, it's still far too early to tell how The Last Jedi will be thought of in 38 years. The likliehood is by then no one will care about either movie. th
I do think there is a large group of people who really like the movie though that aren't what we'd call "Star Wars fans". People who grew up with the PT and liked it, but didnt love it. Saw it as no different than Lord of the Rings or the Pirates movies. A movie franchise that they saw, enjoyed but didn't have any super special affinity for. They saw the OT and liked it, but it wasn't theirs. The movies were old to them, came out before they were born. The Force Awakens came out with these people in mid to late 20s and they loved it, it's better than the PT and its of their time. They then liked TLJ just as much or even more.
People like this will likely never be the crazy fans like those of us who grew up with the OT, I don't think any movies ever have or maybe ever will engender the love that the OT does in some people. But there are alot of people who somewhat fit that description I gave who love the ST.
I'm not convinced there is that much difference. Though I think a loud minority has put people off.
I read several TLJ reviews. Not very many were overwhelmingly positive. "Stretched thin" and "overly long" were the words I recall reading a lot before the movie opened, thought the reviewers usually liked the movie overall.
I mean it's not THAT cynical. In the gaming press it's common practice. Publishers will pay for reviews and opinion pieces that are favourable to their releases. It stands to reason the film press operates similarly. Not saying everyone is bought off, but it does happen.
But I think TLJ did well amongst journalists and critics cause it went against the grain of pretty much ALL Star Wars to date. And critics love that, when a film defies expectation and does things on its own terms, for better or for worse.
I think you are probably right about the PT if it were released now.
Still doesn't mean TLJ isn't worse than the PT, though. Because, you know, it is.
Lord Darth Hunter
The stories surrounding Disney strong-arming theaters into showing TLJ their way were rampant back when it came out. So it's not hard to believe Tex may be on to something here.
Yeah, critics disagreed with you on the movie so the most likely answer is that Disney bought off the critics. The real question is what role did the Crab People pay in all of this?
I think they were too busy getting their show ready to return on Netflix to be involved with this.
Doesn't sound like you understand it but it's simple. A hard core fan is going to be more disappointed by:
Unresolved mysteries from TFA being laughed off in TLJ.
Mary Poppins Leia.
Luke's character derailment.
Just to name 3 things. A non hard core fan isn't going to be bothered by that kind of stuff and just rate the movie on how good it was as a popcorn flick.
A hard core brings with them the baggage of decades of other movies and expectations whereas a casual fan takes each movie on it's own merits.
Ok, fair enough. That's a good answer. I actually agree with it. I actually like the Leia thing and what they did with Luke and I don't think there are any unresolved mysteries from TFA.
I suppose I'll amend this to say I don't think there are any unresolved mysteries from TFA that I at all wanted an explanation for.
Is it really that hard to believe that Disney has shills? Theyre working against a 4.5 billion dollar investment. If they can spend that kind of money to buy SW its not unreasonable.to think that theyd throw out a few extra bucks to the critics.
Im not saying they did, but it would not surprise me.
Anyway you cut it the fact that TLJ ranks higher than ESB makes you wonder.
I doubt it just because I don't think that it could be kept a secret for very long.
And for some reason they just decided not to bribe these very same critics for Solo which was a movie they knew was in trouble and could use a bevy of excellent reviews? Why would any movie ever get negative reviews? Just throw a few bucks to critics out of the marketing budget.
You sound like a sports bettor who everytime you lose a bet you think the game was dirty in some way.

Georgia Southern Theatre presents first ever Mical Whitaker Scholarship
The Georgia Southern Theatre program presented the inaugural Mical Whitaker Scholarship for the Study of African American Theatre on April 27 to junior theatre major Tyair Blackman.
Mical Whitaker, right, helps a student during rehearsal.
Blackman has been an active member of the theatre program and has appeared in shows such as "Crumbs from the Table of Joy," "House of Yes" and "Amen Corner," and he has even received national recognition from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival for his performance in "An Octoroon." This spring he took on the role of assistant director for the season closer "The Master and Margarita."
Mical Whitaker, a professor emeritus at Georgia Southern, joined the university in 1981 as the theatre program's first African American instructor. He directed the "The Amen Corner" in 1982 as the campus's first all-black cast production, and the play served as a significant step in the school's integration process. He has directed nearly 50 plays at Georgia Southern, ranging from "Othello" to classics from the August Wilson cannon such as "Joe Turner has Come and Gone." He played King Lear in its inaugural production at the Center for Art and Theatre.
In addition to the presentation of the scholarship, guests watched a student produced documentary titled "The Making of The Amen Corner," which looks at the rehearsal process for the anniversary production of the show this past fall. Along with the showing of the documentary, donors to the Mical Whitaker Scholarship for the study of African American Theatre were also recognized. Distinguished guests for the event include Mical Whitaker, Chas. Floyd Johnson (producer of "NCIS") Dean Curtis Ricker and the cast and crew of "The Amen Corner" from fall 2018.
Whitaker has been an active member of the Statesboro community as an actor, director and instructor at the Averitt Center for the Arts where he was the director of the Youth Theatre program as well as appearing onstage in shows such as "Driving Miss Daisy." He has also directed productions at the Averitt such as "A Black Nativity," "Dream Girls" and "Jungle Book."
Whitaker attended Howard University, but left to go to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City. There, the Metter, Georgia, native found work as a teacher at a daycare in East Harlem, which marked the beginning of his career in theater production. He then went on to produce "The Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee Story Hour" and became a founding member of the Everyman Street Theatre Festival, which is now known as the Lincoln Center Out of Doors Theatre Festival.
Georgia Southern University, a public Carnegie Doctoral/R2 institution founded in 1906, offers 141 degree programs serving nearly 26,500 students through nine colleges on three campuses in Statesboro, Savannah, Hinesville and online instruction. A leader in higher education in southeast Georgia, the University provides a diverse student population with expert faculty, world-class scholarship and hands-on learning opportunities. Georgia Southern creates lifelong learners who serve as responsible scholars, leaders and stewards in their communities. Visit GeorgiaSouthern.edu.

Simple ankle sprains, the ones that you "walk off" or heal in less than two weeks are rarely properly rehabilitated. Often once the pain is gone and you are able to resume normal use, the problem is considered gone, until the next time it happens. This guide is to help strengthen your ankles to avoid a repeat sprain.
Before we start to discuss rehab, let's look at the anatomy of an ankle sprain. The most common ankle sprains are Inversion Sprains. Wherein you stretch the lateral ligaments of the foot, or in more common terms. The injury happens with the foot turned in, damaging the ligaments on the outside of your foot. Most commonly is the anterior talofibular ligament. Typically with these sprains there may be minor or no swelling at all.
Below are some suggestions for strengthening the ankles to avoid re-injury. These are not for treatment immediately following an acute sprain. If you have an acute sprain contact a healthcare professional for the best type of treatment for your injury. These instructions can also help improve balance.
Stand on 1 foot for up to 60 seconds. Stop as soon as you start to wobble or become unstable. Note the length of time. Then, repeat the exercise with the other foot. If the amount of time was less than 60 seconds start at Beginner, if more than 60 seconds go to Intermediate.
Note: For safety always do these exercises near a wall or chair you can hold onto, if you suddenly need support. This exercise is best done barefoot if possible.
3-4 Times a day: attempt to stand on each foot for up to 60 seconds. If you start to wobble consistently, put the other foot down, rest for 30-60 seconds and try again. You are likely to have small wobbles during this exercise those are OK but remember the goal is to strengthen the ankle and large wobbles might re-injure it instead.
Once you can stand on each ankle for 60 seconds without wobbles move to the Intermediate level.
3-4 times a day attempt to stand on each foot for 60 seconds with your eyes closed. Everything is the same as the Beginner exercise except you will have your eyes closed.
Once you can stand on each ankle for 60 seconds without wobbles move to the next level.
Start with same exercises as above on an uneven surface such as a Balance Pad.

DAS Delft is a Dutch basketball team based in Delft. During the 1980s and 1990s, they played in the top flight Eredivisie; today they play in the lower regional districts of Dutch basketball.

History
The team was founded in August 1968 as Delft All-Stars (DAS), by a gymnastic teacher named Kooperdraat and started with a group of players who were mostly footballers. DAS was the first non-student basketball club in the city. The first games were played in the sports hall in the Steenwijklaan in The Hague and played with white shirts and blue shorts. In 1986, DAS made its debut in the Eredivisie and finished in 8th place. In the following five seasons, the team also played in the Eredivisie; its best performance was the 7th place in 1988–89. Three players were named to the league's All-Star Team in these years: Carl Lott (1988), Bud Greer (1990) and Lamont Randolph (1992). Delft native and former league MVP Toon van Helfteren also played four years for the team. Additionally, DAS was the runner-up of the 1990–91 NBB Cup after losing in two games to Akrides.

Family of girl who died on ride at Colorado amusement park files wrongful death lawsuit
Lawsuit claims park was notified twice of prior instances of people not being buckled in
The 6-year-old Colorado Springs girl who died after falling 110 feet on a ride at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park earlier this month was not properly buckled in and was sitting on top of two seatbelts, according to a state investigation released Friday.
By: KMGH Staff
DENVER – Attorneys for the family of the 6-year-old girl who died after falling 110 feet on a ride at Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park because she was not buckled in filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the park Wednesday.
The lawsuit claims that the park was told twice — in 2018 and 2019 — of instances in which operators of the Haunted Mine Drop ride on which 6-year-old Wongel Estifanos was killed nearly dispatched the ride when other people were not buckled in, which is what a state investigation found occurred on Sept. 5 when Estifanos died.
The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Denver District Court by Greenwood Village-based attorney Dan Caplis and other attorneys at his firm. The attorneys are seeking a finding from the court that Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park was responsible for the felonious killing of Estifanos "caused by multiple acts that constitute a reckless disregard of a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the acts would cause death."
The suit says the park breached its duty and caused Estifanos's death because of "gross negligence" and that it ignored — and failed to provide to the state investigators — emails from two different guests in 2018 and 2019 who reported that operators of the ride were unable to buckle in guests on the ride properly.
One of those instances was detailed in the report on the September accident from the Colorado Department of Labor's Division of Oil and Public Safety that was released on Sept. 24.
That report discussed an email forwarded to the division by the Garfield County coroner, who was emailed in 2019 by a person who said he had sat on his seatbelt and wasn't correctly buckled in as the ride operator was about to dispatch the ride, which pulls a floor out from underneath riders' feet and drops them down the mine shaft more than 100 feet.
According to the report and the newly filed lawsuit, the man told the operator he wasn't buckled in and argued whether that was the case. Eventually, the operator realized they were wrong and buckled the man in.
"During the whole ride, all I could think of was what if I didn't insist on [redacted] checking again? I had no idea what the ride was. I didn't know the floor was going to drop. This could have ended in tragedy for everyone," the email said.
The lawsuit says the man had also sent a similar email to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park in August 2019. It also details another report made in 2018 to the park about another instance in which the ride was nearly dispatched when someone was not buckled in.
In that instance, according to the lawsuit, a woman emailed the park on July 25, 2018, telling them she had taken her 6-year-old child on the ride and that the ride operators did not buckle in a teenage boy who was also on the ride. The lawsuit claims the woman screamed at the operators that the teenager was not bucked in and that they came back and apologized while fastening the belts.
The lawsuit says the park's human resources manager emailed the woman back the same day acknowledging the incident and allegedly saying, according to the case, "I know this doesn't excuse us from ensuring all belts have been secured … I can assure you that this email will allow us to retrain and continue to assure the utmost safe operation of this ride. … Again, I appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we will take any necessary steps to improve the safety of our operation."
The lawsuit claims that the 2018 and 2019 incidents involved the "same reckless failure" that caused Estifanos's death.
It also claims that though Colorado investigators ordered the park to produce all complaints made regarding the Haunted Mine Drop, it did not disclose the 2019 complaint, citing an email system issue, nor the 2018 complaint, which the lawsuit claims attorneys learned of after receiving a call from someone who had seen news coverage about the case.
The lawsuit claims that since the park knew there were prior issues with operators not properly buckling people in, it breached its duty to Estifanos's family and others in protecting their safety.
The state report found Estifanos was sitting on top of her two seatbelts when the ride was dispatched and that operator error and a lack of proper training on operating the ride were to blame.
The lawsuit says she was with her mother, father, 2-year-old brother, uncle, aunt, and children at the park that day. Estifanos, her uncle, two of his children, his wife, and another relative went on the Haunted Mine Drop, and after it was dispatched, the uncle realized Estifanos was not in her seat.
According to the coroner, it says he saw her "battered body" — Estifanos died of blunt-force injuries and suffered fractures, brain injuries, and internal and external injuries, according to the suit — at the bottom of the mine shaft. He tried to get to her, but the ride brought them back to the top of the post, the lawsuit states.
The attorneys for the family are asking for the court to grant them wrongful death damages, both monetary and non-monetary, expenses, a post-trial finding of felonious killing on behalf of the park, and pre-and post-judgment interest, costs, and attorney's fees.
The Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park's public relations team did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the lawsuit Wednesday morning.
Caplis's firm issued a statement saying Estifanos's parents – Estifanos Dagne and Rahel Estifanos – filed the lawsuit as "the first step in their battle for the full truth and full accountability from the amusement park."
"They will use this civil action to force the full truth to be disclosed to them and the public," the firm said in a statement. "Their mission is to protect other families by holding all who are responsible for the killing of their daughter fully accountable and by sending a loud and clear message to the entire amusement park industry."
Denver7 is expected to speak further with Caplis on Wednesday.

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. An implant consists of a titanium screw that functions as the root of a tooth, the implant abutment (coping that provides support to the new crown), and the implant crown. The titanium screw, or implant post, is crucial in helping maintain the strength and size of the mouth's bone structure, which supports the teeth. The structure diminishes in strength, health and size once a tooth is absent.
Implants maintain the health of the existing bone and limit the amount lost over time. Implants can be used to replace multiple teeth (as in a bridge) or to retain or support partial and complete dentures, ensuring the quality of those options for replacement. Implants function like teeth, can be flossed and brushed like teeth and are not removed. Implant placement is typically a 6 to 12-month process to ensure Osseo integration and fusion with the surrounding bone.
If proper care is taken, implants can last a lifetime. Our treatments are designed to give you the three major outcomes of dental implants – esthetic, functional and preservation.

'It's Not Your Fault': Jesus, Forgiveness and the Life of Robin Williams
By: Rev. Dr. Susan Brooks Thistlethwaite for The Huffington Post on Aug. 14, 2014
Photo Credits: www.fanpop.com
Robin Williams and Matt Damon in the film "Good Will Hunting"
One of the hardest things for people to do is forgive themselves, especially when they have been hurt and harmed by others. Harm done to you wounds you deeply, and can convince you that you deserved whatever harm was done to you.
Yet, healing from self-blame for wrong done to you is possible, especially through a compassionate connection. I have hardly ever seen this demonstrated as well as in the film Good Will Hunting, starring Robin Williams and Matt Damon.
Williams, the comic genius and actor of great insight who just died, was able to show that deep, deep capacity for connection that can heal, one person to another. This can be a way people can touch the pain of wrongs done to them, begin to believe it really was not their fault, and begin to let go of self-blame.
Williams played a grieving therapist in that film, and in this scene he tells Will Hunting, the gifted young man whom he is counseling who has been so grievously abused, "It's not your fault."
Watch Robin Williams' eyes in this clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtkST5-ZFHw
There is a ring of truth to this portrayal, perhaps from the depths of what Williams himself struggled with in his own life. Williams apparently committed suicide after struggling over many years with addiction and depression.
Forgiveness is an incredibly difficult and painful subject, as I have learned over and over from teaching and writing on forgiveness, and counseling people in ministry. People can feel they must "forgive and forget" when they have been wronged.

"Stranger Things" Star Noah Schnapp Just Used Doja Cat's Song In A TikTok And Insisted There Are "No Hard Feelings" After He "Apologized" For Leaking Her DMs
Last week, Doja Cat sparked backlash when she went on Instagram Live and dragged 17-year-old Noah Schnapp for leaking their private DMs.,The 26-year-old rapper had messaged the teen on the social media platform to ask about his
Stranger Things costar Joseph Quinn.,Joe joined the Netflix series for the recent fourth season, and Doja has been open about her crush on the British actor on Twitter.,"Joseph Quinn [is] fine as shit," she tweeted in May. In another exchange, the musician told a fan that it is "fucking criminal" how attractive Joe is.,However, she wasn't able to find Joseph's Instagram page, so she slid into Noah's DMs for more information.,"Noah, can you tell Joseph to hmu [hit me up]," she wrote in the private message. "wait no. does he have a gf?",Noah laughed in his reply before telling Doja to message Joe directly. "Idk his IG or Twitter, he doesn't have a DM to slide to," Doja replied, which is when Noah linked her to Joe's profile.,Since making his
Stranger Things debut as Eddie Munson two months ago, Joe has gone viral on social media as fans of the show have shared their attraction to him.,In fact, having a crush on Joe has become somewhat of a trend in recent weeks, and Noah was clearly tickled to learn that Doja was a part of it.,In a now-deleted TikTok, the teen star shared a screenshot of his conversation with Doja. But the following day, she put him on blast in a livestream with her fans.,She claimed that Noah's actions were "degrading" and "exploitative" as she questioned his motives for sharing it.,"Maybe he is, like, a whole snake. But I didn't see him that way," Doja said. "I made an assumption that he was gonna be chill about it, and he went and shared information that I didn't feel comfortable with him sharing.","There's just something very weird. It's very degrading and exploitative behavior," she went on. "And it's embarrassing. It's, like, super embarrassing.",Doja then said that Noah's behavior wasn't "normal" as she admitted that she hadn't told him not to share a screenshot of the chat because she didn't expect that to be something he'd do. "You don't expect people to do that because it's not normal to do that," she said. "It's literally not cool and it's not normal.","It feels like a weird power play thing," Doja concluded.,While people sympathized with Doja for her messages being exposed without her consent, many felt that she was too harsh on Noah considering he is only a child.,"Genuinely confused why doja cat is responding with this energy," one person tweeted. "She had already made her interest in joesph quinn public, its not like noah relieved anything she hadnt essentially already publicized herself. why are we throwing around the words 'power play' & 'snake shit'??","My personal opinion: noah is 17 and doja is 26," another wrote. "While it was wrong of noah to post that to his millions of fans, doja should understand the fact that what's funny to a 17 year old is often very immature because he's still a child . i also think doja shouldn't have dmed him.","I love doja cat but noah is 17.. he clearly didnt mean any harm by it at all. like why are you beefing with a CHILD??????? this could have easily been an convo with just him but going on live ab it?? come on girl… be an adult," a third person said.,But Doja appeared to double down on her stance on Twitter, where she liked a tweet in her support amid the backlash. "No one was mad at you for DMing him when he posted, they were all laughing!" the tweet read. "But the second you express your concern it's, 'Why was she DMing a 17-year-old?' Like they need to be serious.",Doja herself tweeted an apparent jibe at the critics, writing: "Y'all are so cringe and lame and nobody wants to hang w u that's why y'all be on here unironically writing replies to shit that makes you mad.",She also changed her username on the social media app to "im better than you.",But Noah has now revealed that his and Doja's run-in is water under the bridge, insisting that there are "no hard feelings" between them after he privately apologized for sharing the screenshot.,In fact, the actor went so far as to use one of Doja's songs in his latest TikTok video, which simply showed him doing math equations via a filter in a car.,His followers couldn't believe that he'd used "Kiss Me More" by Doja as the upload's audio, with one commenting: "NOT YOU USING A DOJA SONG #icon",Another wrote: "THE SONG NOAH ILY" And a third said: "LOLOL DOJA SONG.",Upon seeing the reaction, Noah decided to set the record straight. He commented: "Guys everything is all good I apologized and I still follow her and love her music no hard feelings ",But while Noah and Doja may have been able to make amends, the incident has had long-term repercussions on their online profiles.,In fact, social media analytics company Social Blade revealed that Doja lost 200,000 followers on Instagram after she called Noah out. Meanwhile, Noah's following has increased by 920,000 accounts.,Doja has not publicly reacted to Noah's most recent TikTok, and Joe is still yet to acknowledge the entire thing.

Rosa Parks Lived Here Historical Marker and Childhood Home
This modest country farmhouse was built by Rosa Parks' grandfather, Anderson McCauley, sometime in 1884. After Rosa Park's birth on February 4th, 1913, in Tuskegee Alabama she and her family moved here and lived in the farmhouse for two years until she moved to Pine Level after her parents separated in 1915. Ninety-one years later the home was preserved and given a historical marker in April of 2006 by the Historic Chattahoochee Commission, the Henry County Historical Group, State Representative Locy Baker, and State Senator Myron Penn. Around the time the historical marker was erected, the home was restored and is currently owned by the Abbeville Chamber of Commerce, but the building has once again fallen into disrepair.
Picture of the "Rosa Lived Here" historical marker is located on Highway 10 near Henry County Road 133
Rosa McCauley was born in Tuskegee Alabama on February 4, 1913, to her mother and father, Leona Edwards and James McCauley. Her mother was a teacher and her father was a carpenter. Rosa was a sickly child after being born, struggling with fevers for much of her younger childhood. After being born, Rosa McCauley and her family moved to her paternal grandparents' home in Abbeville AL. While there her father designed the Henry County Training school for Black students in 1914. Only 2 years after moving to Abbeville, Rosa McCauley's parents split, with her father traveling north to find work while her mother moved to Pine Level to live with her maternal grandparents.
After moving to Pine Level, Rose McCauley married Richard Parks in 1932, taking on the Parks surname. After marrying Richard Parks, he encouraged her to get her high school diploma and register to vote. Long before her famous protest in Montgomery, Rosa became a member of the NACCP and participated in the organization and assisting in early Civil Rights efforts. In 1944 Parks would return to Henry county on behalf of the NACCP to investigate the alleged rape of a young black mother by seven white youths. Eventually, she would gain her national notoriety on December 1st, 1955 when she refused to relinquish her seat on a Montgomery Alabama bus.
Rosa Parks' paternal grandparents were Anderson McCauley and Louisa Collins. Anderson McCauley was born in Georgia. He was the son of Ghiogee, a Poarch Creek Indian woman, and Charles McCauley, a soldier of Irish and Cherokee descent. Charles McCauley served in the 10th battalion of the North Carolina Heavy Artillery during the Civil War. Anderson McCauley married Louisa Collins, who was the daughter of a mixed-race slave. The couple moved to Abbeville AL in 1884 and would eventually acquire more than 500 acres of land and build his home on that land. Anderson was the father to 17 children, only 10 of whom survived childhood. He worked with his sons to build homes across Alabama's Black Belt region.
In April of 2006, only one year after Parks passed away, a historical marker was erected commemorating the historic home and establishing it as a monument to Parks' childhood. The marker was placed by the Historic Chattahoochee Commission, the Henry County Historical Group, State Representative Locy Baker, and State Senator Myron Penn. The house is currently owned by the Abbeville Chamber of Commerce and was repaired around the time of the marker's placement, but has since fallen into disrepair.
