Harry Styles Gets Sentimental in "Adore You" Video
By Rachel Singh | December 6, 2019 | 5:13pm
Freenjoy Productions Music News Harry Styles
Ahead of his Fine Line album release on Dec. 13, singer Harry Styles released a sentimental video for his latest single, "Adore You". Like "Lights Up" and "Watermelon Sugar" before, "Adore You" has a summery vibe and poppy beat, but the video begins on a much more morose note. Spanish singer Rosalía narrates the intro to the video, taking us to a gloomy isle off the coast of the United Kingdom called "Eroda," where smiles and cheer are a thing of fiction for all. The exception is one boy, Styles, who flashes a grin that doesn't make anyone swoon. Just to clarify, the island is of Eroda is fictional, before anyone sets sail to find their favorite former One Direction member.
"In a town grown used to how things were, no one knew what to do with something different," Rosalía states, a point that alludes to Styles' message of self-expression and inclusivity. As Styles sets off into the waves to escape the despair of Eroda, he encounters a fish stuck on land. Styles decides to offer a hand, making a finned friend and ushering in the music.
The video is absurd and humorous in tone, and is much more PG than the steamy video that went with "Lights Up". "Adore You" was directed by Dave Meyers, who co-wrote the story with Chris Shafer. Watch the video below.

Ellen noted that Josh and Fergie would make some really "cute babies" and I'm sure they would.
The actor told Ellen he told Fergie to just be ready and his wife had no idea what they were doing or where they were going. Josh explained he took Fergie to the airport, had all her luggage packed and then took her to a very romantic resort in La Paz, Mexico. Josh told Ellen that Fergie thought it was "the most romantic thing" he ever did.
Unfortunately a few hours after they arrived Fergie "was vomiting" all over because she got Montezuma's Revenge. Luckily her illness only last about "a day and a half." Josh noted they had some really great days other than the short time they were vomiting.
The last time Josh was on the Ellen show she convinced him to wear teeny tiny little red running shorts to promote a charity event to raise money for Japan.
When Ellen showed a photo of Josh in his little shorts he told her "you've talked me into doing a couple of things like that Ellen, and as much fun as it is in the moment, you don't understand the repercussions afterwords. I have to hear from my friends, my family, all the people I work with. They make fun of me." Ellen seemed disappointed because she noted Josh has great legs.
Ellen showed a clip from Josh on his first day on the soap "All My Children" where he had a scene with blonde actress Elizabeth Banks who played Rosalie.
It was fun watching Josh so many years ago. The actor admitted he was sad that "All My Children" was going off the air since he is still in touch with many of the people on that show.
Of course Ellen couldn't resist getting more of Josh's clothes off. The actor did an archery exhibition, but first he ripped off his jacket and pants and wore green leggings, tiny small brown shorts and a sleeveless leather vest with a matching archery hat. It was hilarious and of course Ellen and the audience went crazy over Josh's legs.

The first thing I look for is an exceptional founding team – Interview with Max Niederhofer from Sunstone Capital
By Mary Loritz
After becoming an entrepreneur right out of university, Max Niederhofer made his first successful investment in Last.fm in 2007. He has been an active investor ever since, and is now a partner at Sunstone Capital, one of Europe's leading early-stage venture capital firms. With offices in Copenhagen and Berlin, Sunstone has so far backed 50 startups across Europe, including Boozt, GetYourGuide, and Prezi. Sunstone now manages just under €400 million in capital, and is actively investing from its fourth fund.
An outspoken expert on venture capital and European startups, below we interview Max about what he looks for when making an investment, changes and trends in the European tech startup ecosystem, Brexit, and much more.
Max stresses that his views are his own, and don't represent Sunstone Capital or its partners. However if you're curious to know more about him and his thoughts, you can check out his blog, or follow him on Twitter.
What is your background, and how did you come to be a partner at Sunstone Capital?
I started my first company straight out of university. Made a bit of money from it and became an angel. My first investment was Last.fm, which ended up backed by Index and was acquired by CBS for $280 million in 2007. And so I was hooked: I joined Atlas Venture as an analyst, then was promoted to associate, then principal. Took a break to do another company: Qwerly, which we sold to Fliptop, which was in turn acquired by LinkedIn. Then worked briefly for Accel Partners in London before joining Sunstone Capital in 2013.
We're now investing out of Sunstone's fourth fund, $130 million, Series Seed and A, across Europe and occasionally in the US. Focus is on how tech is changing how we live, work, eat, move, play, love… It's creating an unprecedented opportunity to build massive consumer brands. Across all sectors, around the world. This is a golden age of entrepreneurship.
What are some startups you've recently invested in and why did you choose them? What have been your most successful investments?
Most of our recent investments remain undisclosed. You used to announce an investment round right after the deal was signed and the money was wired. Now most of the market announces once it's time to raise more capital. So let's talk about some of our recent announced deals:
We invested in Travelperk's $44 million Series C led by Kinnevik. It's a Barcelona-based company that we first invested in at Series A, together with Spark Capital, around two years ago. Travelperk automates business travel booking and management. The customer experience at incumbents – Egencia, American Express, Carlson Wagonlit – is terrible. Travelperk's founders are exceptional: deep domain expertise, ridiculously fast execution, great product sense.
We led Copenhagen-based Grandhood's Series A. Grandhood is bringing pension plans to the employees of SMEs, those traditionally neglected by the large pension providers. Again, big market meets an exceptional team.
We also led Taster's Series A in Paris, with Localglobe and GFC. Taster is the next iteration of the food delivery revolution. People now spend more on eating out than eating at home and we like to invest where consumer spend and expectations are going. Taster optimizes food for delivery, making sure you can get nutritious and fresh food in record time. We think it's the best of fast and good food.
My most successful investments so far have been Last.fm (acquired by CBS for $280 million, 100x), Onefinestay (acquired by AccorHotels for $180 million, 10x), Audibene (acquired by EQT, undisclosed), Kitchen Stories (acquired by Bosch Siemens, undisclosed). The companies that are still private but that are doing exceptionally well are GetYourGuide, Lillydoo, HeyJobs, and a few others. For Sunstone our headline successes are Boozt (IPO on NASDAQ in 2016), and private companies like Prezi, Neo4J, Natural Cycles, and many others.
Our funds are consistently some of the top performing ones in Europe.
Can you tell us about the sectors you are focused on, and some of the trends you are seeing within them?
We focus entirely on consumer investments, so B2C, marketplaces, platforms. And there we're focused on all the large segments of consumer spend, so retail/ecommerce, housing/real estate, transportation/mobility, travel, media and entertainment, communication, digital health, education, fintech. Our thesis is really: how do you build the biggest consumer brands of the next 20-30 years? That's a very different question from what other VCs ask.
More than machine learning, perhaps, I'm fascinated by crypto. I think it has the potential to change the world in so many ways. I think the current bear market is very helpful in that the speculative capital is losing its interest and we can get back to building stuff.
How have you seen the startup ecosystem change in Europe in the past 10 years?
There's a lot more capital, meaning there are a lot more players, newer players, different ways of financing startups. That means more rounds get done and they get done faster. It also means there are people with more experience and less experience, people working from a traditional playbook and others who are still figuring out what rules they want to play by. On balance it's a very good time for founders to raise capital, with some caveats. The main caveat is that it's too easy to raise too much money, and still too hard to raise small amounts for the truly exceptional, world-changing stuff. European investors remain more risk-averse than those for example in the US and China.
What do you look for when you're investing in a startup?
The first thing I look for is an exceptional founding team. For me that means: how driven are these people, do they have the grit and tenacity required, are they passionate about what they do? Can they execute well at speed? Are they able to both keep a big vision but also sweat the small stuff? Are they great salespeople? Can they convince folks to get on the bus before there even is a bus? Do they have a deep understanding of their domain and vision for its future? Are they not just great managers but potentially world-class leaders? Are they self-aware? Do they have a growth mindset? Are they intellectually honest, do they have the integrity required, do I believe they will be good stewards of our investors' capital? How well do they recruit? Are they analytical, data-driven, but gutsy enough to make the right decisions quickly? And then finally I look for great communication skills and social cohesion in the founding team. It's a long list – I have a scorecard. ☺
The second thing I look at is the business, obviously. The data that's most important here is retention and referral. Those to me are the best indicators of a great product at the stage we invest (Seed and Series A). If people come back repeatedly to use/purchase, that means that I'm not just acquiring customers as a one-off. And if they tell their friends and family about it, that's really how you get to a flywheel in a consumer business – the k factor that will drive non-linear growth.
Of course we also look at all the usual things – is this a big market, can it sustain the margins, what's competition like, where do you acquire customers at scale, what are the repeatable/scalable marketing tactics you can use, what's the cash cycle. But that's pretty par for the course. I feel like on team and retention/referral, we are quite different from other folks in the VC industry in Europe.
What kind of support do you provide for startups you invest in besides funding?
We're a bit different in that I don't like to think of myself as a hands-on investors. I believe VCs can meddle too much. And so I like to try and help when that's what the founders want, and I get out of their way when I think that's what's best.
"I like to be the person that the founders turn to when the going gets tough."
Typically we help with strategy, fundraising, and HR. I think that's similar to most VCs. Where I've tried to be different is in training to become an executive coach. My job is to help turn you from a founder of a ten or twenty person startup into a world-class CEO that's leading a company of hundreds or thousands of employees. That's a significant personal and professional growth journey.
I like to be the person that the founders turn to when the going gets tough. Because there will always be times when running a startup is incredibly difficult. That's where you need our support – that's in my opinion the "moment of truth" about VCs.
How do you think Brexit will affect tech startups in Europe?
That's a dangerous question. I don't think anybody knows what Brexit will look like. On balance I think stability benefits entrepreneurship and new company creation. But I think when it comes to the history of the most successful companies that are being built in Europe right now, Brexit will be a rounding error in the narrative. It just doesn't matter that much. Founders succeed despite the odds, despite more difficult market environments, despite the naysayers.
What are governments doing to support technology startups, and what more can – or should – they do?
I think the European Investment Fund is not credited enough with essentially bootstrapping the whole VC industry in Europe. They've done great work and their initial investment has meant a lot of capital is now looking at European venture as an opportunity. That would not have otherwise happened.
But beyond that, I'm very skeptical. I think it's best if governments get out of the way of innovative companies and their founders. We still have too much red tape, too many regulations, our labor markets are too inflexible, our capital markets too constrained. There's no reason why setting up a company, for example in Germany, should be as hard as it is. Why firing people in France should be so hard. Why GDPR is adding a ton of paperwork with no discernible benefit all across the EU. I think that's where I'd focus if I were in politics. But those aren't messages politicians want to hear.
In the end, countries and regions compete for the best people. Europe continues to churn out great companies and we've reversed some of the brain-drain of the 90s and early 2000's, when we lost many talented founders to the Valley. Europe is a great place to live and a very good place to help build the future, so from a venture perspective I'm very optimistic about the next twenty years.

Canadian travellers to United Kingdom not required to quarantine starting Monday
Canadians travelling to the United Kingdom will not be required to quarantine upon arrival as of Monday, regardless of whether they are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
Denmark, Finland, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Switzerland and the Azores also added to green list

The British Department for Transport said Canada and other countries are moving to its "green" list for travel because visitors from those countries pose a low risk to public health in the United Kingdom.
The department said travellers from Canada will still need to take COVID-19 tests within three days before leaving for the U.K. and within another two days after arrival.
The change will take effect Aug. 30.

"The data for all countries will be kept under review and the government will not hesitate to take action should the data show that countries' risk ratings have changed," the department said.
The U.K. High Commission in Ottawa announced the new changes in a post on its Twitter account.
"[Canada] has been added to the U.K.'s green list," the commission said.
"This will make it easier for those looking to reconnect with family, friends and businesses in the U.K."
Thailand and Montenegro added to 'red' list
The United Kingdom is adding Thailand and Montenegro to its "red" list, saying the increased case counts in those countries pose a higher risk to public health.
"Passengers arriving in the U.K. from these red list destinations will need to isolate for 10 days in a managed quarantine facility and follow the necessary testing requirements," the department said.
Many British Canadians were frustrated after being snubbed by the plan to ease quarantine restrictions for entry to England and Scotland last month.
The United Kingdom countries announced on July 28 that travellers who were fully vaccinated in the United States or Europe would not have to quarantine upon arrival.
Canada loosens more travel restrictions for fully vaccinated travellers
Before the changes that were announced Thursday, travellers from Canada to the U.K. needed to take a COVID-19 test no more than three days before their arrival, book and pay for two other tests after they arrive and quarantine in the place they were staying for 10 days.
British Canadians make up a large segment of the Canada's population. In the 2016 census, 32.5 per cent of the Canadian population reported having some ancestry from the British Isles, with 6.3 million people of English origin, 4.8 million of Scottish origin and 4.6 of Irish origin.

Best for Beach Tourism award in the World Responsible Tourism Awards organised by Responsible Travel. Helping Dreamers Do.
The Best for beach tourism category seeks to demonstrate that all kinds of tourism can and should be run with communities and the environment in mind. This category will shine a light on beach holidays that conserve beach environments and respect local communities.
Loola Adventure Resort and Soneva Fushi, Maldives jointly won the gold award in 2015. Previous gold winners include: Chole Mjini Conservation & Development Co. Ltd.
Best for beach tourism is awarded to a tourism business, organisation or initiative providing or contributing to responsible holidays in beach settings.
Explained: The Best for beach tourism category seeks to demonstrate that all kinds of tourism can and should be run with communities and the environment in mind. Long associated with irresponsible package holidays, this category will shine a light on beach holidays that conserve beach environments and respect local communities.
What the Judges want: Leadership in responsible tourism policies and practices in a beach setting, positive integration and relationships with local communities, and proven achievements in maintaining/ conserving beach environments.
Founded on Indonesian Bintan Island, close to Singapore, by Dr. Marc van Loo and Ms. Isabelle Lacoste (thus the Loo and La) in 2000, this eco resort specialises in adventure and activity holidays. Their dreamy cabins poised, picture perfect, on stilts, boast not only beauty but also exemplary sustainable building, energy and waste disposal practices. Their activities are low carbon and low impact, from coconut tree climbing to ziplining into their seawater pool, and very much aimed at families and schools. With education into the local ecology at the core of the education package.
The Bintan community is also at the core of what they do, with all fifty employees hailing from the island. Although the founders own 95% of the business, 5% of the shares are donated to employees. Loola's innovative business model is based on the Dutch Polder system, which allows staff to set up their own independent businesses within Loola, training and mentoring them to become entrepreneurs working in an empowered way, and in partnership. A system that is challenging in a local commercial culture that is, traditionally, based on the 'top down' approach. i.e. when the boss is boss, and everyone else has their place. Not at Loola where there are now thriving, locally run food, drink and other retail businesses, leading to a substantial increase in staff income, minimal staff turnover and ongoing strong customer service. And let's face it, any business that has a zipline that goes straight into the pool, or sends its clients up to the top of coconut trees is not only switched on, it's cool. But that's going Loola for you.
Built in 1995 by Soneva founders Eva and Sonu Shivdasani, on the deserted island of Kunfunadhoo in the Maldives, Soneva Fushi was the first in a collection of environmentally friendly, luxury hotels, resorts and spas, all with the back to nature ethos. Connecting people with water while also preventing people's abuse of water, are always an issue for them, but something they embrace all the time. The environmental impacts of the BAARU organization, for example, a collaborative platform between the Baa Atoll resorts which was founded by Soneva, are far reaching. Such as lobbying to have the atoll protected as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 2011 and also to ban shark fishing throughout the Maldives, with an ensuing law being passed in 2010.
Waste is always a pertinent issue on an island too, and Soneva Fushi recycles over 80% of waste through their state-of-the-art Eco Centro Waste-to-Wealth programme. In addition, 100% of food waste is composted and used on their vegetable gardens. Soneva Fushi also imposes a 2% environmental levy on each room, which goes directly to carbon reduction programmes managed by Soneva's own SLOW LIFE Foundation. And with 80% of staff coming from local islands, and all being educated in the 'slow' ethos, they are gaining a much deeper understanding of how they can sustain these island idylls. And keep them afloat forever.
&Beyond also goes into the stratosphere in terms of luxury on their safaris, owning or operating chic lodges in nineteen of the countries they visit. The Getty family was a founder investor, so enough said. It's classy. It has a class act when it comes to responsible tourism too and this award focuses, in particular on its work in the Mnemba Island Marine Conservation Area (MIMCA) that surrounds &Beyond's private Mnemba Island off the coast of Zanzibar. An area that is now protected thanks to perseverance of &Beyond to persuade the Zanzibar Department of Fisheries and also Zanzibari fishing communities to protect it.
The demarcation of this zone has also meant that specific areas have been set aside for snorkelling, diving and fishing. People who dip in and out, literally, of these waters for recreation purposes also pay daily a fee for doing so, and the income generated from this is used to create sustainable development projects for fishing communities. Which was a good selling point when it came to putting in place the restrictions, as fishing boats were obliged to reduce the use of net fishing off the coral reef, and, therefore, embrace more sustainable fishing practices in deeper waters outside the zone. MIMCA has been so successful that the whole north-eastern coast of Zanzibar has now also been declared a conservation area. And this is just one of &Beyond's wildlife projects. So, watch this space, because there will be sequels.
As well as having an impressive responsible tourism policy since 2004, minimising energy and waste, and demonstrating an exemplary involvement in local communities, Turtle Bay Beach Club co-founded the Watamu Marine Association (WMA) in 2008. WMA brings together tourism businesses, conservationists and communities with one mission: to preserve the Watamu Marine National Park. Not one of Kenya's most famous national parks, but an aqua arcadia if ever there was one. Beach clean ups are high on the agenda, with Turtle Bay Beach Club sponsoring weekly ones led by women and young people from Watamu Community Groups, who are employed part-time to gather up waste, gain income from recycling it, either by passing it on to recycling companies, or using it to create handmade gifts, which are then sold.
Such clean ups work hand in hand with Turtle Bay Beach Club's involvement in the work of local organisations Local Ocean Trust and Watamu Turtle Watch, which protect the endangered green and hawksbill sea turtles that favour the sea grass meadows of the Watamu Marine National Park. The resort also works closely with activity providers in the Park, and they strive to ensure that all partners adhere to responsible dolphin watching, scuba diving, snorkelling and windsurfing practices, with the coral gardens of the Park being home to over 300 species of fish alone. So, although Kenya might be famous her Big Five, Turtle Bay Beach Club is all about watching communities thrive, and the waters alive.
Created and owned by visionaries Anne and Dr Jean P. de Villiers, Chole Mjini lies in the middle of the Mafia Island Marine Park (MIMP), the largest marine park in East Africa. They were drawn to the island originally to have a boat built by local people, many of whom are skilled traditional dhow builders. You simply need to go there to find the rest of the story, and it is quite some story but, in short, the de Villiers' sealegs became landlegs, and they commissioned these skilled artisans to come on board their vision for an island retreat instead. So, built entirely by local people, these stunning tree houses were born, and launched not only as a place to escape to, but also as an agent of positive change for the island's community. When it was built in 1993, there was only one islander who had proceeded beyond primary school and only one person in salaried employment. The success of Chole Mjini has allowed classrooms, teachers' housing, a hospital, library, market, and a women's centre to be built. Through their Chole Mjini scholarships there are now secondary school and university students and many people in permanent employment. So, as well as being a commercial success, they raise funds for sustainable projects through guest donations, a $10 bed night levy, day visitor tickets and an ongoing trust fund.
With all of this comes environmental responsibility too. Something Anne and Jean don't take lightly, with Chole Mjini serving on the MIMP Advisory Committee, founding the Mafia Island Whale Shark Conservation Society (WHASCOS), establishing a sanctuary for fruit bats and working to keep local people informed and inspired about protecting their natural heritage. Anne and Jean are definitely locals themselves now, however, having raised their children on Chole Mjini, so together they can watch this special place thrive for generations to come. A place where one can definitely say, in an award-winning way, life's a beach.
With just five suites on the ocean front, Casa de las Olas is a 40-year-old beach villa which has been refurbished and retro-fitted in a way that is not only totally sustainable but also totally sumptuous. Fully powered by solar panels, they also capture all their own water via both underground springs and rain harvesting to irrigate the grounds. And it may put the AC addicted tourists off, but that is not an issue for the owners, who use a natural design which capitalises on the natural Caribbean breezes to keep the villa cool. Which just adds to its all-round coolness really. Why would you want to listen to AC when you could just be listening to the ocean?
The attention to detail when it comes to local sourcing is also impressive, such as having the linens handmade by local artisans and furnishings crafted by local designers too. The menus are also a work of art, using only local produce and a carefully crafted menu based on years of experience of what their guests love, meaning that no food goes to waste. Any that is, is composted of course. And one tiny step that takes them beyond many luxury accommodations are the toiletries that they provide in the rooms. These are organic and mostly biodegradable and, even better, made by local biologists in the community. So, for all those hotels who say that isn't possible, look and learn.
Casa de las Olas recommends tours to their guests, but only ones that are environmentally friendly, and supported by local guides, such as into the neighbouring garden, which happens to be the 1.3 million acre UNESCO World Heritage Site Sian Ka'an. This is a biosphere reserve containing tropical forests, mangroves and marshes, as well as a large marine section intersected by a barrier reef. Which is good enough reason to have a totally sustainable property on the doorstep really. And the good news is that, even if it takes you twenty years to discover their secret location, it will still be there. Just as it is. Not five times bigger, with aircon and an airstrip. Because, as part of their vision, the owners have also committed to never selling on or extending it beyond its current secret, sustainable spot.

Q: Multiple values IN Normally IN is used with one value:
SELECT * FROM data WHERE f1 IN (<subquery>)

It is possible to use it with multiple values:
SELECT * FROM data WHERE f1 IN (<subquery>) OR f2 IN (<subquery>);

But can I remove duplication, something like:
SELECT * FROM data WHERE ANY(f1, f1) IN (<subquery>)

I tried to use CTE, but it also require subquery.

A: Assuming you have columns col1,col2, and col3 and that you're looking for col1 and col2 in your subquery (for the sake of illustration), you can do something like:
select col1,col2,col3
from table
where (col1,col2) in (<subquery>)
group by 1,2,3;

As long as <subquery> is of the (rough) form select col1,col2 from <blah>, then you'll end up with distinct (col1,col2,col3) triples where (col1,col2) pairs appear in <subquery>.

A: I might write this in terms of set operators:
SELECT *
FROM data
WHERE EXISTS (
    VALUES(f1, f2)

    INTERSECT

    SELECT(<subquery>)
)

A: While both solutions works, I have found that fastest (unfortunately not shortest) way is to use CTE:
WITH x AS (<subquery>)
SELECT * FROM data WHERE f1 IN (SELECT * FROM x) OR f2 (SELECT * FROM x)

Rangers Updates
In the Crease
← Rangers offense shut down by Anderson and the Senators on the road
Thrilling third period leads to a big Rangers win; Brassard tallies five points →
Rangers need rebound win in matchup against Buffalo; Lunqvist and AV infuriated
Posted by robertbevilacqua95

Let's face it, the Rangers (26-16-5) stunk last night.
After two very strong and promising performances by the team against Vancouver and the Hurricanes, Vigneault's squad came out almost entirely flat, barely pressuring Ottawa goaltender Craig Anderson and showing a lack of effort. It's not often that you can criticize the Rangers' effort, but it wasn't there last night.
That led Henrik Lundqvist to question his team's preparation in his postgame interview when questioned about the topic.
"You have to ask the guys, I take care of my own preparation," Lundqvist told Andrew Gross of The Record. "I think it's a mind-set. You definitely have to have a good warm-up. For me, personally, I felt good. You have to try harder. We had a good [off-ice] workout [on Saturday] so it's more in your head to get going."
Alain Vigneault was also highly critical of his team's performance, saying that Henrik and Jesper Fast were the only ones prepared, finishing with a telling quote. "We played a real strong game in Carolina on the road. I thought we were getting somewhere and then we come up with this."
Vigneault cut off further questions, saying, "So thanks, I'm out of here," before storming out of the interview.
It's good that Vigneault is pissed off. But as much he wants to stomp his feet and show some anger that the fans loved from Tortorella, the mess that this team has become has his name all over it. It's his lineups, they're his coaching decisions, and it's his system that isn't working.
Last night, they didn't start skating until the second period. Ottawa had 30 shot attempts in the first 20 minutes and the defense was committing turnover after turnover and giving the Senators Grade-A scoring chances right out of the gate.
The forwards were lazy, and the forecheck was nonexistent. They either didn't want to get to the blue line and dump the puck in, and when they did, they didn't want to get to the dirty areas and retrieve the puck. They allow late and early goals in the period that cripple the team and kill momentum.
Then with the lineups and coaching decisions, Dan Boyle had a horrible game, remains pointless in his last 10, and Dylan McIlrath is still sitting in the press box. Keith Yandle played less than 19 minutes in a game where the Rangers were searching for offense all night long. The fourth line got consistent minutes in the third period when the team was trailing 2-0, and they generated absolutely no offense. Lots of headscratchers on AV's part.
That sets the scene for tonight's matchup against the Buffalo Sabres (19-25-4), the first meeting between these two teams this season. This isn't the same pushover, AHL caliber Sabres from last season. Now coached by Dan Bylsma and following a good draft and offseason, Buffalo hasn't seen a big improvement in the standings, but they are much more competitive.
The Sabres did just get Robin Lehner back, but it will be Chad Johnson in net against the Rangers. The veteran netminder has done a solid job in place of Lehner while he was injured, posting a 2.36 GAA and a .920 save percentage this season. He'll be looking for his 13th win of the season.
This will be the first time that the Rangers get a look at second overall pick Jack Eichel, The Boston University product sits fourth in rookie scoring while Blackhawks' rookie Artemi Panarin runs away with the lead in the Calder Trophy race. But Eichel has been very good for Bylsma. He's second on the team in goals (14) and sits in third with 30 points. He's got five power play goals and a great wrist shot, so he'll pose a threat to the Rangers in all areas of the ice.
I was a bit surprised when the Sabres made such a big offer to Ryan O'Reilly, but he's had a fantastic 2015-16 campaign. In 48 games, O'Reilly has scored 17 goals and has added 23 assists, giving him 40 points for the season. He's been an excellent mentor to the younger players on the team, and an offensive threat.
Rasmus Ristolainen is developing into one of the stronger two-way defensemen in the entire league. Ristolainen, 21, has already set a new career high in assists (23) and points (31), and is one goal away from a new career high in goals. He has four goals and 10 assists on the power play.
Vigneault did not state whether Henrik Lundqvist of Antti Raanta would start in net tonight. Lundqvist was fantastic yesterday, recording 30 saves and allowing just two goals. Antti Raanta hasn't won since November and allowed four goals on 23 shots against the Washington Capitals on January 17th.
There really isn't much to talk about in terms of forwards that played well, because none really did. Jesper Fast played a solid all-around game, and JT Miller was also very energetic, finishing his checks and doing what he could to bring some energy to his lifeless teammates. Miller also led the team with a +5 shot differential, and continues to grow and blossom.
The top six needs to be much, much better. Derick Brassard, Mats Zuccarello, Derek Stepan and Chris Kreider all need to step up and start playing like top six forwards. Especially the two centers, because Stepan and Brassard have done a whole lot of nothing lately.
The fourth line was also atrocious last night. Daniel Paille was a -14 in shot differential, the worst on the team, and the team generated five shots while he was on the ice while giving up 19. Tanner Glass and Dominic Moore weren't really any better, both finishing a -12 in shot differential. The fourth line hasn't done anything right lately and in order to roll four lines, that unit needs to be better.
Rick Nash's absence was noticeable last night. While he hasn't been the high volume goal scorer he was last year, he still has over 30 points, and he's one of the few forwards who is always willing to get to the dirty areas and the front of the net. He's their most consistent forward, and his current shooting percentage of 8.1% (career of 12.3%) is bound to rise.
Hopefully, Nash comes back in today after sitting yesterday's game out. But hopefully AV doesn't scratch a young forward like Jesper Fast, Kevin Hayes or someone like Viktor Stalberg, and sits Glass or Paille instead.
The Rangers and the Sabres will faceoff at Madison Square Garden at 7:30. The game will be broadcasted on NBCSN.

With regard to iron deficiency and anemia, most people associate these conditions with strictly physical health. However, they can also have a strong impact on mental health and how the brain functions and how emotions are felt. The amount of nutrients consumed and utilized by the body, such as iron, can make even the healthiest of people experience mental distress or simply feel a bit "off" in their day-to-day lives.
This article will discuss the relationship between iron deficiency and mental health, including the connections between anemia and certain depressions and the causes of low iron and anxiety. With a better understanding of these connections, individuals prone to mental health problems can adjust their diets for improved wellness.
Iron does much more than just fuel hardworking muscles and keep the body strong. It is also highly utilized by the brain and nerves, and in fact, the earliest iron deficiency symptoms are usually neurological. These can include fatigue, confusion, and insomnia. But if an iron deficiency is allowed to continue without treatment, more serious and prolonged mental issues can arise.
Some people wonder, "Can anemia cause depression?" and the answer can be yes for some individuals. Scientists believe that an iron deficiency affects the brain by slowing down the processing of central neurons and can result in the onset of mental symptoms or make existing mental symptoms worse.
In the human body, and iron deficiency can present itself in many ways, both physically and mentally. For example, there is a strong correlation between anemia and anxiety, as well as between iron deficiency and depression. In addition to anemia and anxiety related to it, low iron may also lead to feelings of hopelessness, irritability, restlessness, and poor mental focus. Therefore, iron supplementation is sometimes recommended for individuals who are diagnosed with ADHD and other psychiatric disorders because of the brain-iron connection.
Mental health is very complex because there are so many factors that can affect the brain and mental functioning. But one way to promote better mental health is to increase iron levels in order to maintain proper brain functioning or to help battle a mental illness.
Upon testing for low iron and anxiety and determining that an iron deficiency may be to blame for certain symptoms, a health professional may recommend taking high-potency, over-the-counter iron supplements, such as Fergon. Eating iron-rich foods, such as liver, seafood, leafy greens, and nuts, can also help sustain iron levels in the body. In more severe cases of iron deficiency where food and supplementation are not sufficient to bring iron levels up to a normal level quickly, it may be necessary to explore the option of intravenous iron transfusions. However, iron deficiency and depression or anxiety caused by it can usually be treated to enable individuals to take back control of their lives and find the health and happiness they deserve.

Q: How to view a post with firebase? I am working on a posting website with firebase 9 and vue 3.
I've created the functionality so that you can post blogs, now I only so that if you click on one of the post you get directed to a new page with the post title and some description.
Everything works except the title in the viewpost page.
This is my code:
Home Page:
<template>

      <router-link :example="example" :to="{ name: 'ViewPost', params: { id: example.id } }">
        {{ example.title }}
      </router-link>

</template>

ViewPost:
<template>

ViewPost

{{ example.title }}

</template>

GetCollection:
import { ref, watchEffect } from 'vue'

// firebase imports
import { db } from '../firebase/config'
import { collection, onSnapshot } from 'firebase/firestore'

const getCollection = (c) => {
  const documents = ref(null)

  // collection reference
  let colRef = collection(db, c)

  const unsub = onSnapshot(colRef, snapshot => {
    let results = []
    snapshot.docs.forEach(doc => {
      results.push({ ...doc.data(), id: doc.id })
    })

    // update values
    documents.value = results
  })

  watchEffect((onInvalidate) => {
    onInvalidate(() => unsub());
  });

  return { documents }
}

export default getCollection

Router with history mode:
import { createRouter, createWebHistory } from 'vue-router'
import Home from '../views/Home.vue'

const routes = [
  {
    path: '/',
    name: 'Home',
    component: Home
  },
  {
    path: '/create',
    name: 'Create',
    component: Create

  {
    path: '/post/:id',

    component: ViewPost,
  },
]

const router = createRouter({
  history: createWebHistory(process.env.BASE_URL),
  routes

export default router

Who doesn't love farm fresh eggs? How about hard-boiled eggs?
Have you ever hard-boiled farm fresh eggs? If you have ever done this, you will know exactly what I mean when I say peeling them is a chore. And then, what remains after the peeling, or chipping, is an egg reminiscent of the surface of the moon. I tried many of the "tricks" found online. Some of the methods were helpful, but I pretty much gave up on the idea of hard-boiled fresh eggs.
With the Instant Pot, hard-boiled eggs are extremely easy to peel. There are many recipes for making them and I tried a few. What I settled on is something referred to as 6-6-6. It means pressure cook for 6 minutes, allow to sit for 6 minutes prior to pressure release, and then place in cold water for 6 minutes.
How to make hard-boiled eggs in the Instant Pot.
To begin, place steamer rack or basket in the Instant Pot. Add 1 cup of water to the pot. Place eggs on steam rack.
Secure lid onto the Instant Pot and turn the valve to sealing.
Set the Instant Pot to pressure cook for 6 minutes. It will take about 7-8 minutes for it to reach pressure and then the timer will begin counting down from 6 minutes.
After the 6 minutes, the timer will beep. Wait an additional 6 minutes to release the remaining pressure.
Remove the lid and place the eggs in the chilled water for 6 minutes or until chilled. I like to fill a pitcher with cold water and place it in the freezer while the eggs are cooking. Then you can return the pitcher to the freezer or put it in the fridge to chill the eggs. Please note: Hard-cooked egg popsicles are not good. Make sure to remember to remove the egg-filled pitcher from the freezer if you choose to chill them in this way.
The eggs are now ready.
The process takes roughly 30 minutes from start to finish.
A few notes: Use only filtered water for cooking and chilling the eggs. Times may need to be adjusted, use these guidelines as a starting point. I have only cooked a dozen at a time using this technique. However, I have heard from others that you can basically fill the Instant Pot with eggs and still achieve the same results. If you try this, I would love to hear your results. Also, if you are new to using the Instant Pot, please read the user's manual first. Be sure to scroll down to see a photo of the lovely ladies.
Here are some accessories I highly recommend to purchase with your Instant Pot.
The lovely ladies. Clockwise from the top: Ostara, Ostara (again) dirt bathing, Brigid, and Cerridwen.
Why "Beastly Eggs"? The time settings of this recipe made me think one of my favorite Iron Maiden songs- The Number of the Beast. So to all of my dear readers that are also fellow metalheads, here you go!
This makes it seem pretty simple and less cursing over getting the shell off.


In my recent Big Family Freezer Meals cooking days I made 4 large pans of stuffed shells for my people. These big pans of stuffed shells freeze and later reheat wonderfully. Add a fresh salad, garlic bread, or a cup of fruit for a lovely dinner your family will ask for again and again!
This large family recipe yields up to four 9×13 pans of fantastic Freezer Friendly Stuffed Shells!
*For Homemade Meat Sauce* In a large pot mix 100 oz of Tomato Sauce, 12 oz Diced Tomatoes, and 2 lb precooked ground beef.
Stuff cooked jumbo noodles with cheese sauce mixture and layer on the bottom of 9×13 pan.
Cover stuffed shells fully with homemade meat sauce.
Top with one cup of shredded Mozzarella cheese.
Repeat for a total of four 9×13 pans.
Set the desired pans of Stuffed Shells out in the refrigerator the evening before you'd like to serve them.
Enjoy this hearty dish that feeds a crowd!
DON'T FORGET to pick up your large family freezer meal packs here!
Love this recipe. We very seldom have stuffed shells although its a family favorite as its a bit of a fussy recipe for me (read as… ya- I get lazy at dinnertime) and this will definately fix that problem. Thanks so much. Question though… we only have 3 people in our family. Yet I'm sure we would use that whole pan. My husband alone would eat at least half of that. Between dinner and leftovers for his lunch it would be just exactly enough. How on earth can your family 3 times as large make it? Or are those shells much larger than I am thinking? (They look like I could line up 4 of them on my hand.) Me the college boy and the hubbo would probably just have this with a big salad and garlic bread. Um,… and yes my hubby is an EATER!!! 🙂 Love the blog and the vids and the links and the kids are so adorby. Namaste.
When I cook overwise, I do enough for leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day. That would mean I would need three 9×13 pans. However, if I'm using this as a freezer meal we just do one pan for that night and will have no leftovers. Everyone gets a scoop full, and I also serve a side dish like green beans and applesauce.
you are the only one that has recipes that my family will actually eat…lol. should I undercook the pasta? Thank you!!!
Yes, try to undercook it a bit. Although I'm sure I've overcooked it and it has still turned great, haha. I run cold water on the noodles after cooking and that stops them from cooking farther, too.
Can I use cottage cheese in place of the ricotta? Thanks so much!
