To develop goalie reaction to shots with speed.
The goalie is set up in the cage in ready position. The coach uses a tennis racquet and tennis balls to "shoot" at the goalie from 8-10 yards away. The coach should apply great velocity to the "shot". This will help the goalie with reactions to real shots. Shots start high and gradually progresses lower and lower until eventually bounce shots are being given.
Shoot so that the ball will bounce at the goalie. "Rapid Fire", meaning a quick succession of shots. Shoot from multiple locations. Have goalies use a weighted attack stick instead of their goalie stick.

We Walk as One making a difference
By Johnelle McKenzie
The escalating murder rate continues to cut many lives short, leaving loved ones in grief. Daniel Guardado, a mechanic, was gunned down on Partridge Street Extension in Belize City while pushing his motorcycle in May 2018. Brian Guardado has turned that pain felt from losing his dad into something positive by creating an organization dubbed "We Walk as One". Today, the organization gave away fifty-three school bags to children from the southside. Guardado said that there is another event plan for the same children in December.
Brian Guardado – Founder of We Walk as One: " My dad was the mechanic man on the motorcycle who was murdered on that night. It was something hard for me at a young age to lose my Dad but I realize that after all I have been through I could use what I am doing to make me stronger and I believe that this foundation could bring a change to the country of Belize. I believe it, I know it, I have faith in it. It has been hard, yes but I am proud of what we are doing. We are helping fifty-three students and we are making a call out to the public. We have donation kettles set at three public pharmacies within the city. With all this, we are trying to implement and share the word of God. I knew my father as a hard-working man regardless of who he was and I know that he would be proud of the change that I am trying to bring after what happened with him. I always tell people that Belize needs a change and we are hearing about murders on a daily basis, we hear about murders, murders and we want to change that. We want a country not only peaceful for youths but the children growing up in Belize."
Daniel Guardado's murder was a case of mistaken identity.

Yup, life is a layer cake folks!
Most of us are enticed by the allure of the sweet icing - the silver lining - the promise of everlasting happiness that spreads over the surface of each day to keep us smiling and going in for more.
But have you ever had a cake that was just frosting? It would just be a pile on a plate! Where's the substance, the form, the part you really get to sink your teeth into?
We need the batter to give life form, to give our days context, shape and volume, so in turn we need to go deeper than just the surface to discover how those sweet experiences can be upheld. It takes effort and a bit of courage to build structure by going deeper within, because past the icing of life is a much thicker layer of dedicated work to support it.
In the same way, if life is all work and no play, and I'm not just talking about a job but relationships too, who wants to keep going through layers without tasting some of that frosting - the great times, the sweet memories, the feeling of rapturous love pressed up against a cheek when a partner is feeding us?
Mmm. Add on another layer of icing between that cake! It's like incentive to keep going through the seemingly more bland or dry times of life when we're focused on the work that helps to maintain the structure of the lives and relationships we see fit to create.
And what's the one magic ingredient that blends perfectly into any recipe, giving it that little something extra special?
That's right, it's love, people!
You're out!? Feeling like you've got little to be happy about and lots to endure, or looking for love in the wrong places, or the packaging didn't accurately depict what was inside?
All you need to do is go into your soul kitchen and take out some more. There's an endless, abundant supply in there, and I'll help show you where to find it. So then, you'll know and rest assured in the feeling that you'll always have enough nourishing love for yourself first and plenty to sprinkle around in everything you do and every life you touch.
Although you can always appreciate the love and sweetness received from others or shown to you in life through fortuitous events, we're going to focus on that endless supply that comes from deep within - the love below the surface. That's what I mean by your soul kitchen. Because no matter where you are in your life or what you're doing, doing it with love for yourself allows you to share that with each effort in how you apply yourself and interact with others. They feel the love too, and it influences them, but you're not doing it to please them - you're doing it for yourself.
When you don't have to search outside yourself for the ingredients that help you feel satisfied, you begin to discover the bottomless pantry of your soul kitchen - your heart center - from which you can create a passionate life with confidence, because now you know you're tapped in to an infinite source of love for yourself that you can feel and share at any time.
Let's get started tapping into that sense of the soul kitchen here by whipping up a bit of the imagination and folding in the desires that fit your personal taste. Yes! We're going to imagine our ideal dream cake, and trust me, you're going to feel the fruits of your labor long before you wonder where I'm going with this.
Find a comfortable place to sit and start breathing deeply and rhythmically.
Close your eyes and place your focus on the center of your chest, deep within, next to your heart.
Start to imagine, sense and feel a coaxing warmth generate within this center like a bun fresh from the oven. It feels relaxing, soothing and supportive. Note how it feels in your body, this ball of warmth, and use your imagination to help it grow throughout your chest. You might even start to feel it just below the rib cage where your solar plexus is located.
Now that you're feeling that warmth, the ball begins to transform. It changes shape into the dough of your preference. Picture it taking form. Sense the texture. Is it vanilla cake? chocolate? German chocolate? Carrot cake or perhaps a nice thick cheesecake? Maybe you're a pie person. Maybe you don't even have a sweet tooth and prefer a crepe with fresh fruit inside instead. The idea is to make it your own and what appeals to you most, but make sure you're treating yourself!
Once you can picture the shape and consistency, go ahead and add layers if you like. Spread on the icing of your choice. Add sprinkles or those delectable chocolate shavings and perhaps some raspberries on top. Decorate it to your complete satisfaction, feel that supreme satisfaction within you while you continue breathing.
After you've dressed it up to your liking, take a step back in your mind and envision the whole thing. Now imagine that a slice is being cut just for you, just your size, and put on a plate. You are serving yourself.
You can go further with this meditation if you like, going through and actually eating your cake, incorporating the sensations of the texture and taste in your mouth, spreading those throughout your head and your body along with any other positive feelings and elation it brings you. This is the food made with love from your soul's kitchen, immerse yourself in it.
Now that you're all warmed up, here is where that sweet little practice leads up to.
The biggie question is, why does it sometimes feel easier to dedicate our love and devotion to others than to do the same for ourselves?
The answer is simple: without actually teasing the brain and the heart to figure out the why, it makes more sense to just start nurturing, caring and loving on ourselves. By basking in the self-appreciation that gets us to cruise through our day in stride, we naturally tend to share that with others, to be more open, creative and expressive, loving and appreciating our ability to make things happen at any moment.
There are plenty of ways to do this and many meditations provided by Sheila Applegate that use guided imagery for you to explore entire worlds, where you learn to manifest your desires in an instant then apply that learning to work for you in your daily life. It's called Consciously Awesome for a reason! Talk to Mariesa Dranschak about it over a virtual cup of coffee, she knows what it's like to live a life of passion from the heart!
Similar to doing a garden meditation, I myself have applied these Conscious Meditations of the program to create a home of my desires. There's a geothermal spring nearby where I go when I feel the need to recharge or just relax if stress tends to build up in my life; even if I just want to play in my imagination. In fact, that's where I went to expand the idea for writing this piece.
It works much the same way that we just did with the layer cake meditation. Can you imagine giving the same love to yourself as you feel for someone you've fallen in love with? You cut the work out somewhat because you're already there for yourself, and with practice you give yourself the attention you truly need at any time. Reach within, feel the sensations and emotions when you think of what it's like to be in love, then receive that from yourself. And hey, why not express some gratitude to yourself too for doing so?
It goes like this ~ anytime throughout my day or night when I feel I need a boost of nurturing or care, some love or personal attention in some way, instead of looking outside myself for something or someone to provide that for me, that I may or may not be able to depend upon, I turn within. I go below the surface of my thoughts and tap into the feelings I want to give myself: deep relaxation, bliss, confidence, inspiration, whatever it may be. Tapping into the sensations are everything.
I'll go to those geothermal springs in my imagination for example, dip in and relax with the heat of the water. That's right! You can use the imagination to actually feel sensations in your body! Sometimes I like to turn up the temperature so hot that I can just barely stand it. Then I can imagine the water cooling off, and I feel cooler. I feel the motion of the water moving on my body, where the height of the water level is. I sink into it a little deeper. My physical back responds by loosening up, the aches of my lower back diminishing. I incorporate the imaginative into the physical, and sometimes my imagination leads. And then I start thinking about cake.
Layers, my friends. Our world and our lives are full of them. Go out and explore! And when you need rest, come back within your soul kitchen and give yourself some good lovin' food.
With an Ace up my sleeve for manual magicianry, the Love wielded unconditionally makes transitioning effortless alongside multilevel and lingual communication – of which I prefer calm quiet the most, since listening is the key that opens doors to anyone's personal gain.

Gus Malzahn Says NCAA Rule Limiting Headsets Will Hurt College Football
Tyler Conway@jtylerconwayTwitter LogoFeatured ColumnistMay 30, 2018
John Bazemore/Associated Press
Auburn and Alabama don't agree on much. However, their head football coaches are in full agreement: The new NCAA rule limiting headsets is terrible.
"The 20 headset rule is a joke," Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn told reporters at SEC spring meetings Wednesday. "There's no doubt about it. I think that's got the ability to hurt our game. That's a really big deal."
The NCAA instituted a rule earlier this month that limits the number of headsets a team can have on the sideline to 20. Malzahn said it will greatly affect his team's ability to communicate and chart plays throughout the game.
"I don't care if you have 50 off-field guys or two off-field guys, most teams in college football are going to have off-field guys on a headset at least charting or doing something like that," Malzahn said. "And then you talk about the signaling aspect...It affects the game."
Alabama coach Nick Saban ripped the rule Tuesday, albeit in more colorful language.
"I don't know who is driving all this stuff," Saban said, "but to me it's kind of like mouse manure when you're up to your ears in elephant doo-doo."
Malzahn said the rule was aimed at limiting communication between growing coaching staffs around the nation. Major programs like Auburn, Alabama, etc. have increased their coaching budget in recent years, leading to ballooning staffs. Most of these new hires are lower-level quality control types who are assigned specific areas of focus, allowing head coaches and coordinators to focus on the big picture.
However, there are only a select number of programs that can afford such large support staffs. Limiting the number of headsets is seen as a way to keep communication limited to essential staff during games.

As Christian Life Church we connect people with God and one another, help them grow in their faith and equip them to serve.
Every person can have a personal relationship with God through repenting of wrongdoing and accepting Christ's offer of forgiveness for sin.
The baptism in the Holy Spirit is a special experience following salvation that empowers believers for sharing their faith and effective service, just as it did in New Testament times.
Supernatural healing of the sick is is provided for in Christ's sacrificial death on the cross.
Jesus is coming back! All believers who have died will rise from their graves and will meet the Lord in the air, and Christians who are alive will be caught up with them, to be with the Lord forever.
Peter and Wilma Akright started Christian Life Church in the YMCA building (now Plymouth Youth Center) on North Street. That fall the church family moved next door to Riverview Middle School.

This ebook completes the research of the existence and political considered Algernon Sidney (1623-1683), which started with Algernon Sidney and the English Republic, 1623-1677 (1988). within the strategy it bargains a reinterpretation of the most important political trouble of Charles II's reign, and of its ecu and seventeenth-century contexts. Like its predecessor, the e-book spans the disciplines of highbrow and political background. Its dual concentration is the final six years of Sidney's lifestyles, which culminated within the recognized public drama of his trial and execution for treason in 1683, and in his significant political paintings, the Discourses pertaining to govt, which used to be used as facts opposed to him on the trial. This intertwining of occasions and ideas demands an exam of the connection among the sensible and highbrow points of the main issue of 1678-1683 ordinarily.
Which 50 humans grew to become eire into the fecked-up kingdom she is this present day? Bono? Haughey? Louis Walsh? de Valera? it is time to identify and disgrace the good, the nice and the gobshites. .. traditional knowledge has it that eire, after a violent and tragic background, had started to get issues correct. but if the unwell wind of recession cruelly snatched that self-satisfied fulfillment away, all of it gave the impression of tremendously again good fortune.
The lack of the USA used to be a gorgeous and unforeseen defeat for the robust British Empire. universal knowledge has held that incompetent army commanders and political leaders in Britain should have been in charge, yet have been they? This fascinating ebook makes a special argument. Weaving jointly the non-public tales of ten popular males who directed the British measurement of the struggle, historian Andrew O'Shaughnessy dispels the incompetence fable and uncovers the true purposes that rebellious colonials have been in a position to in attaining their mind-blowing victory.
Henry Fielding: A Literary existence characterizes Fielding's advanced character, in many ways filled with contradiction, and but resolved either by means of a deep wisdom of human nature, together with his personal, and through his innate social constructiveness and his present for friendship and love. The booklet additionally info ways that Fielding's complicated attitudes give a contribution to the subject-matter of his performs and novels and to the rhetorical suggestions that keep an eye on their form besides.
254; Acton, b . 2 5 . 394. Furley, T h e Origins and Early Development of the Whig Party', p. 9 0 . David Ogg, England in the Reign of Charles II, 2 vols. (Oxford 1955), vol. II, p. 5 8 9 . See pp. 5 8 , 1 Z - A below. 67 By them he did not mean there were two organised or institutionalised parties, let alone that they developed around the issue of exclusion. He meant to draw rueful attention to a much more complete fragmentation of political life; an illness of the body politic, caused by Stuart misgovernment, for a thinker who continued to seek the Elizabethan and Platonic ideal of organically ordered unity and harmony.
It underlined the continuity of the basic problem — the historical threat. To say that the crisis was about the succession, however, is obviously a different matter. In fact it was about the present terrifying policies of Charles II, seen in the light of those of Charles I. It was about the growth of popery and arbitrary government. The succession then was a problem; even a serious one. But it did not cause a crisis: a breakdown in the normal operations of government. What caused that were the policies of the government themselves.
The same inattention to the matter in hand is (as we will see) characteristic of most of the pamphlet literature of 1677-83. This was surely one reason behind the sensational recent re-dating of the Two Treatises itself from one crisis (1688-9) to another (1678-83). What made the earlier mistake possible was not (as Ashcraft has helped to show), the politically neutral or vague nature of Locke's work. It was our failure to establish the ideological context of the former crisis; its independent identity, separate from the real exclusion crisis of 1688-9.

By Dan Goldberg
Gaines Blasdel, a Washington, D.C., native who was assigned female at birth, began hormone therapy seven years ago at the age of 18.
At 19, Blasdel underwent chest masculinization surgery with financial support from his brothers and father. But like most transgender people, Blasdel believed genital surgery — also known as bottom surgery — was simply out of reach.
After all, in 2010, most insurance plans did not cover the operation and no hospital in New York performed the surgery. That meant even people who could get covered, or could pay cash, had to move to another city for a few months to be near their surgeons while they recuperated. The closest hospital that performed a phalloplasty — the construction of a penis with erotic sensation — was 800 miles away in Chicago.
In short, the surgery was beyond Blasdel's means — and the means of all but the most well-heeled New Yorkers.
"The only people who could access these surgeries were people who did this instead of buying a house," Blasdel said.
But that began to change in 2015, when New York became the ninth state to allow its Medicaid program to cover gender affirmation surgery. Private insurers were beginning to cover it as well. Suddenly, there was a payment model that could support New York hospitals' investments in transgender surgery programs.
The result has been a host of new, more affordable options for transgender people seeking surgery. Mount Sinai Health System became the first academic medical center to open a program in March 2016, and NYU Langone Health soon followed — that's where Blasdel underwent a phalloplasty in September.
"It was awesome," Blasdel said. "The first couple days in the hospital, I was like, 'yes!' It was just really great to know I got exactly what I wanted."
The Cuomo administration's decision to have Medicaid cover transgender surgery created a surge in demand, and four of the region's largest academic medical centers — Mount Sinai, NYU Langone, Montefiore and Northwell — have opened or will soon open programs.
For a population that's disproportionately low-income, decisions by New York and other states to allow Medicaid coverage of transgender procedures has been a game changer. In 2015, New York Medicaid paid for 115 procedures for those with gender dysphoria. In 2016, the number more than doubled to 257.
"I'm afraid to take vacation," said Jess Ting, director of surgery at the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at Mount Sinai. He is on pace to perform about 250 this year, and the waiting list at Mount Sinai is so long that another surgeon, currently a Mount Sinai fellow, will be brought on board next summer. "I'm afraid to take a sick day, because that means someone can't have their surgery."
"The need is incredible," Ting said as he sat in his scrubs — and choked up — shortly after completing male-to-female surgery on a 78-year-old patient at Beth Israel Medical Center, a patient who had been living as a woman for many decades, and had known she had the wrong genitalia since she was 5 years old. When they first met, Ting said, she was so nervous she could barely speak, afraid that after all these years she'd be told that she was now too old for the surgery.
Perhaps not surprisingly, the trend reflects the political and policy divide surrounding transgender rights. Of the 15 state Medicaid programs that cover gender reassignment surgery — New Hampshire being the most recent — all are states that generally vote Democratic and, with the exception of Illinois and Colorado, all are along the coasts.
And amid the Trump administration's desire to have states take a greater control of their Medicaid programs, it is unlikely that red-blue divide will change any time soon.
As with reproductive rights, where a person lives will likely determine their ability to access transgender surgery.
"I think that we will see for some time to come that there are inequities among the states," said Jillian Weiss, executive director of the Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund. "It takes a long time for a society to change and to recognize the importance of civil rights for people, and the importance of health care."
"Medicaid is the government's provision of services to those who can't otherwise afford them," Weiss said. "It also is the state's announcement of whether this kind of health care is something that they consider to be important for people."
Avoiding 'terrible outcomes'
The Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law estimates that 0.6 percent of the population identify as transgender. The New York metro region has approximately 20 million people so, statistically speaking, there are roughly 120,000, of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, who identify as transgender.
But for a surgery that costs tens of thousands of dollars, money is obviously an issue. A 2011 National Transgender Discrimination Survey found that transgender people are four times more likely than the general population to be living below the poverty line.
"Before Medicaid covered these operations, patients would go to unlicensed providers and they'd get silicone oil injected into their breasts to make breasts," Ting said. "Some patients would auto-amputate their own penises. They would travel to Mexico to very shady surgeons, whoever they could afford and end up with terrible outcomes."
Poor outcomes weren't limited to shady providers operating out of Mexican storefronts. With so few providers in the United States and patients having to travel so far, complications were alarmingly frequent, said Lee Zhao, assistant professor of urology and co-director of the transgender reconstructive surgery program at NYU Langone Health. Patients with complications were so frequently referred to him that he decided to help start his own program.
In the wake of the Cuomo administration's decision, NYU Langone hired Rachel Bluebond-Langner, a plastic surgeon from the University of Maryland School of Medicine, to be co-director of the program with Zhao. They performed their first vaginoplasty and phalloplasty procedures in January.
"One great benefit of insurance paying for this is surgeons were previously constrained by hospital resources and what they could do in an outpatient setting," Zhao said. "The latest and greatest advances in medical technology were not applied to gender affirming surgery before insurance paid for it. Now we can use the exact same technology that we'd use for a prostate operation or a heart valve operation, And apply it to this field. So I think outcomes will improve because of that."
NYU Langone was the first hospital in New York to use robotics for transgender surgery, allowing for better visualization and decreased blood loss. That helps with, among other things, a cleaner resection of the vagina.
"It's used in every other pelvic operation," NYU Langone's Bluebond-Langer said.
The sudden flourishing of transgender programs is not without precedent. Policy at the state and federal level often drives industry development. Ambulatory surgery centers in New York grew at a rapid clip following the passage of 2008 state law that required physicians to obtain new accreditation if they wanted to continue to perform medical procedures in their offices using moderate or deep sedation.
The shift toward population health payment models — the kind that encourage health systems to keep patients under their umbrella — also encourage health systems to offer nearly every service a patient might need. That's why New York recently saw two medical centers apply to open heart transplant units, the first such applications in more than 20 years. No health system wants to be a patient's primary care provider, responsible for a patient's overall health, and then see that patient have a complicated surgery performed somewhere else.
Life-altering consequences
A state's decision to have Medicaid cover these procedures can be life-altering or even lifesaving.
Nathan Levitt, a family nurse practitioner and member of the transgender community who works with transgender patients at NYU Langone, said he has colleagues who committed suicide because they felt they'd never be able to have surgery.
"That's the extreme," he said. "But [I know] other people who have gone into so much depression, who don't feel like they can leave their house, feeling isolated, feeling like they can't interact, make friends, certainly date because they don't feel comfortable in their bodies. I didn't think this would ever get covered. I certainly never thought Medicaid would."
Female to male transition is more prone to complications, which mostly relate to the urinary tract. The female urethra points down so when the transition is performed the vagina must be excised while the urethra is lengthened and pointed up. That's a challenge because of fluid dynamics. Urine hits the reconstructed tissue. It can leak through the suture lines resulting in a fistula, or scar tissue can form.
"Can you imagine having an operation to make someone the way they always imagined and then they become incontinent afterwards," Zhao said. "It's a devastating problem."
For decades, imagine was all a person could do.
Now, told their surgery date, and able, after decades, to put an "X" on a calendar, a countdown to a dream, many patients are overcome with emotion, Bluebond-Langner said.
"There are tears of joy," she said. "And they will say, 'I never in my lifetime thought this would be a possibility. I thought I'd go to the nursing home being misgendered, being made fun of.'"
Beth Drzewiecki, a urologist at Montefiore and assistant professor of urology at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, said patients are often so elated to have the body they've always felt they should that, they tell her, they have hundreds of photos of their new vaginas on their cell phones.
Learning lessons in Europe
New York surgeons have traveled to Europe for first-hand experience.
Montefiore surgeons spent two weeks in Gent, Belgium this past April, studying under Stan Monstrey, now a member of Mount Sinai's international visiting faculty. The Bronx hospital performed its first transgender surgery in May and has performed five more since.
In September, a Northwell Health team went to Belgrade, Serbia, to study under Miroslav Djordjevic, a professor of urology and surgery at the University of Belgrade's School of Medicine.
Djordjevic operated every day for a week and the Northwell physicians watched his every move. Soon, they will be in the cadaver lab, practicing on real, albeit expired, bodies.
"We're going to go through the operation," said Adam Perry, a surgeon, helping to start Northwell's program, "so we can demonstrate in practice what we learned."
Northwell hopes to open its program in mid-2018.
None of this would have been possible without Medicaid and commercial insurance moving to cover the surgery, Perry said.
"It has to be funded somehow," he said. "If it's not funded by insurance, patients have to pay for it out of their own pocket."
Hospitals can't afford to create programs around a handful of patients. They can't invest in recruiting new physicians or devote the operating-room space, or buy new equipment.
"It's a big investment and a big commitment of resources," Perry said. "Without reliable, sustainable investment, I don't see this happening — not on this scale."
Transgender surgery is becoming a hot topic at urologic conferences as well, Drzewiecki said, which she attributed to insurance coverage.
"Now that it can be covered and it's accessible to patients, they are demanding it," she said.
A 'center of innovation'
When it comes to genital surgery, outcomes, broadly speaking, are about sensation, aesthetics, urination and sexual intercourse.
Another benefit of having surgical programs close to where a patient lives is that health systems can offer social support, which can be critical, Bluebond-Langer said. Vaginoplasties, for example, require the patient to dilate four times a day for the first year because the new vagina has a tendency to close as the body can treat it like a wound.
"If they are living in a home with a lot of other people, with no private space or limited access to shower, these are things you want to know," she said. "Not to deny them surgery but to assess prior to surgery and change. Get them into a better housing situation, get them support get them connected into the community with people who can help them."
All the academic medical centers expect to expand their programs in the coming years.
"There is plenty of work for all of us," Blueblood-Langer said. "I think you'll see us all standing and still have waiting lists."
Ting said that in five years he'd like to have five surgeons operating five days a week, doing research, publishing results.
New York, Northwell's Perry said, could be the epicenter of care for the transgender community.
"It's relatively new but I think New York is a center of innovation," Perry said. "Transgender surgery is still in its infancy. I think it is going to start to go mainstream and when it does there is going to be a lot of innovation and advancement. I think New York is the perfect place for transgender surgery, for being advanced and being innovative."

NBA owners approve plan to restart 22-team season in Orlando, AP source says
Photo by Sam Wasson/Getty Images
ORLANDO, Fla. - A person with knowledge of the situation says the NBA's Board of Governors has approved a 22-team format for restarting the league season in late July at the Disney campus near Orlando, Florida.
The format calls for each team playing eight games to determine playoff seeding plus the possible utilization of a play-in tournament for the final spot in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference postseason fields, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Thursday because the league had not yet revealed the vote result publicly.
It is the most significant step yet in the process of trying to resume a season that was suspended nearly three months ago because of the coronavirus pandemic. There are numerous other details for the league to continue working through — including finalizing specifics of what the testing plan will be once teams arrive next month at the ESPN Wide World Of Sports complex and the calculating the financial ramifications of playing a shortened regular season.
Another person, also speaking to AP on condition of anonymity because the details of the ongoing talks have not been publicly released, said the National Basketball Players Association and the NBA are continuing to work on a "lengthy" medical protocols document. The details of that document will be shared with teams once those discussions are completed, said the person, who added that teams should receive them in plenty of time for them to prepare for expected mid-July arrivals at the Disney-ESPN complex.
RELATED: What will change when Florida enters phase 2 of reopening on Friday?
If all 22 teams that are going to Disney play their allotted eight games before the postseason begins, the NBA would play 1,059 games in this regular season. That means 171 regular season games would be canceled, which could cost players around $600 million in salary.
Those 22 clubs would play somewhere between 71 and 75 regular season games if the Disney portion of the schedule is completed, down from the customary 82-game slate. The teams who didn't qualify for the restart will see their seasons end after having played somewhere between 64 and 67 games.
But one of the biggest hurdles is now cleared, and if things go according to plan an NBA champion for a season unlike any other will be crowned in October. The season could go into that month if the league goes ahead with its plan for the same playoff rules as usual, that being every round utilizing a best-of-seven format.
Thursday's move by the board of governors — one that came, coincidentally, on the same day this season's NBA Finals would have started if these were normal times — was largely a formality. The NBA considered countless restart options after suspending the season on March 11, whittled that list down to four possibilities last week and from there the 22-team plan quickly began gaining momentum.
RELATED: Universal Orlando to reopen on Friday with new safety protocols like virtual queues and distancing on rides
The 22-team plan includes all teams that were holding playoff spots when the season was stopped, plus all other clubs within six games of a postseason berth.
Milwaukee, the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston and reigning NBA champion Toronto had already clinched playoff berths. Now with only eight games remaining for each team, it means that eight other clubs — Miami, Indiana, Philadelphia, the Los Angeles Clippers, Denver, Utah, Oklahoma City and Houston — have postseason spots secured, and Dallas virtually has one as well.
That leaves nine teams vying for three remaining playoff berths. In the East, Brooklyn, Orlando and Washington are in the race for two spots. In the West, Memphis, Portland, New Orleans, Sacramento, San Antonio and Phoenix will jostle for one spot.
If the gap between eighth place and ninth place in either conference is four games or less when the shortened regular season ends, those teams will go head-to-head for the No. 8 seed. The team in ninth place would have to go 2-0 in a two-game series to win the berth; otherwise, the No. 8 seed would advance to the postseason.

Thursday's decision also means that the seasons for Atlanta, Cleveland, New York, Golden State, Minnesota, Detroit, Chicago and Charlotte are over. The Knicks will miss the playoffs for the seventh consecutive season, the third-longest current drought in the league behind Sacramento and Phoenix — who still have chances of getting into the playoffs this season.
And with the Hawks not moving on, it also means Vince Carter has almost certainly played the final game of his 22-year NBA career — the longest in league history.
Carter, the first player in NBA history to appear in four different decades, has steadfastly insisted that he is retiring after this season. He appeared in 1,541 NBA games, behind only Robert Parish (1,611) and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,560) on the league's all-time list.

Лагерь для интернированных лиц № III () — лагерь, действовавший в 1941—1944 годах около Бюринге (Сёдерманланд, Швеция). В нём содержались более 150-ти интернированных советских военнослужащих.

История
Строительство лагеря началось после нападения Германии на СССР. Располагался он в Сёдерманланде к югу от Стренгнеса. Первоначально лагерь находился в ведении Управления социального обеспечения, однако в июле 1941 года он был передан Секции интернированных лиц (Interneringsdetaljen), которая являлась структурным подразделением Отдела противовоздушной обороны Главного штаба обороны Швеции.

Лагерь был обнесён колючей проволокой, по углам стояли прожектора. Он состоял из простых бараков, в которых зимой было столь холодно, что приходилось постоянно следить за огнём. С появлением в нём интернированных его первое время охраняли солдаты шведской армии, но затем их сменили резервисты, которые гораздо строже относились к своим обязанностям. Комендантом лагеря был ротмистр Карл Аксель Эберхард Русенблад (1886—1953).

22 сентября 1941 года в лагере появились первые 60 советских моряков, которые в двадцатых числах сентября на двух торпедных катерах добрались до территориальных вод Швеции из Прибалтики. На эсминце «Ремус» их доставили в Нюнесхамн, а затем в лагерь под Бюринге. Несколько дней спустя в лагерь прибыло ещё сто советских военнослужащих, попавших в Швецию из Эстонии. На 31 декабря 1941 года в лагере находилось 164 интернированных: 21 офицер, 8 комиссаров и политруков, 5 интендантов, 19 военинженеров, 4 воентехника, 2 военфельдшера, 44 младших командира, 1 заместитель политрука («politruk (sergeants tjänsteställning)»), 51 матрос и 9 человек гражданских специальностей. Из офицеров 5 человек относились к сухопутным частям (среди них был 1 подполковник и 2 майора).

Любопытно описание русских шведским военным чиновником:

«Русские кажутся людьми добросердечными и всегда готовыми прийти на помощь. Они словно большие дети и обладают всеми добрыми качествами таковых, но могут быть и по-детски жестоки, чему имеется немало свидетельств. Есть в них какая-то восточная хитрость и лукавство. Общий образовательный уровень русских интернированных довольно высок. Неграмотных нет. Удивительно, что многие из них интересуются классической литературой и обладают глубокими познаниями в истории литературы русской. […] Как правило, они не владеют иностранными языками, что объясняется тем, что они были изолированы от остальной Европы. Однако многие стараются исправить этот недостаток и изучают в лагере шведский, немецкий и даже английский языки».

Чтобы занять интернированных, их допускали до работ в области лесозаготовок и дорожного строительства, за что им полагалась плата в 1 крону в день (шведы занятые на тех же работах, получали 3 кроны).

Интернированные имели различные взгляды на некоторые политические вопросы, что пораждало среди них конфликты. В связи с этим шведские власти разделили лагерь на секции «A» и «B», протянув между ними колючую проволоку.

В 1943 году интернированные, недовольные условиями содержания в лагере, объявили голодовку, после чего шведы несколько ослабили охрану и разрешили им достаточно свободно передвигаться в трёхкилометровой зоне вокруг лагеря. При этом на форму им была нашита звезда, которая должна была указывать местному населению, что они из лагеря. В лагере была также организована танцплощадка и создан оркестр. Интернированные могли даже устраивать танцы с местными девушками.

В 1944 году, когда поражение Германии становилось всё более очевидным, Швеция по требованию СССР тайно репатриировала интернированных советских граждан. 1 октября обитателей лагеря в Бюринге построили в шеренгу перед шведскими и советскими военными и объявили о том, что если кто-то желает остаться в Швеции, должен сделать шаг вперёд. Таковых оказалось 34 человека. Остальные в этом же месяце были несколькими партиями отправлены в СССР.

22 сентября 2012 года в Бюринге был установлен камень, посвящённый памяти содержавшихся в лагере советских военнослужащих.

There are a couple of things I wish I knew about Hong Kong before I got here.
I definitely had the upper hand over my exchange peers in knowing a bit about surviving in HK because of my HK-native family members, but still there is a difference between hearing about HK's ins and outs and actually figuring out what they were talking about in real life.
Make a plan for which classes you can take before you leave. Cornell is very good at communicating with study abroad students about coming up with a flexible course plan, but many of my exchange peers shocked to find that the courses they planned to take were either not offered or had long waiting lists. Even I had to switch around some courses when I got here because of certain restrictions and substitution issues. You can check courses available each semester on the "quota & class schedule page". I highly recommend having at least one or two substitute classes in mind in case the classes you want are full or not available to you. I also had an awesome spreadsheet from one of my BEE department classes that helped me plan out my entire four years.
This is what my four-year course plan looks like! The classes I am taking abroad are highlighted in green at the bottom.
To avoid international ATM fees, open a HSBC or other international bank account before you leave (if possible). Already, I know that a couple of people have been charged fees for withdrawing money in HK with their home bank's debit card. HSBC is an international bank with many branch locations in US and HK. Think about opening a joint account with your parent so they can easily send you money and you can easily withdraw money. There's actually an HSBC ATM right across from Jockey Club Hall, and there are Bank of China, Bank of East Asia, and Hang Seng Bank ATMs on campus as well. Pick and choose which is more convenient for you, but also do your research accordingly! Some banks do still charge international fees, but I know for sure HSBC does not charge such fees for HK.
Figure out alternative transport options for getting to campus. There is an airport shuttle provided by HKUST, but it only ran at 12PM and 5PM on August 29th and August 30th. They don't wait for people!! My flight ended up getting delayed by 3 hours so I missed the shuttle. Luckily, my exchange buddy picked me up at the airport so she guided me to the dorm via public bus, but I know that if I were alone I would not have been able to get around efficiently because I did not plan for it. Definitely make arrangements for alternative transport because flights do get delayed often. In my case, there were 3 typhoons in a row in HK at the time, so bad weather kept us from flying on time.
Get a prepaid SIM card at 7-eleven, but each 7-eleven has different available stock so make sure to ask at a couple stores to find the right one for you. I purchased a HKD$100 CSL SIM card after asking around at 3 different 7-eleven stores. My SIM card is "all-in-one" — it includes voice, SMS, and data. You can find more information about this particular SIM card here.
I bought this HKD$100 All-in-one SIM card from 7-eleven.
Your best friend in HK will be your Octopus Card (八達通). It is a metrocard and debit card all in one! It can be used to take the MTR train, make purchases at 7-eleven and Circle K, and even pay for food at restaurants. HKUST will give you a form to apply for a student Octopus Card, but you'll have to wait for school to start before you can do so. For the first few days you are in HK before school starts, you'll probably want to have one on hand for traveling to the more lively parts of HK. You can head over to the Customer Service Centre of any MTR station to purchase an Octopus Card. The closest MTR station to the HKUST campus is at Hang Hau (坑口) and the closest MTR station to the Jockey Club Hall is at Tseung Kwan O (將軍澳).
I received this Octopus card from my mom. It was deactivated because it's an old card, but I was able to reactivate it at the Customer Service Centre easily.
Arriving at HK after a 15 hour plane ride was exciting, but also a bit overwhelming. I hope that these tips will help you figure out how to get settled in HK when you first arrive, if you're considering visiting or studying abroad in HK.
Happy two weeks, Hong Kong!

Q: How to catch Authentication Failure exception using XLWings? I am using below python code to Refresh the data on an Excel sheet which is using Power Query to fetch data from external source.
import xlwings as xw

app = xw.App()

wb = xw.Book('pathToFile')
wb.api.RefreshAll()

Sometimes we have authentication issues with external server. While manually refreshing from Excel, the Authentication Failure message is shown but when refresh the sheet from Python, I am unable to catch this exception.
Is there a way to catch Excel exceptions when using XLWings ?

A: I don't know the details of xlwings, but given how bad Power Query is about telling Excel what it's doing, I wouldn't expect there to be anything simple. Power Query is perfectly capable of telling itself what it's doing though. You could make a simple query like this:
let
    Source = try YourQuery otherwise "ERROR",
    ErrorCheck = if Source = "ERROR" then "Failed" else "Success"
in
    ErrorCheck

Which will return a Success/Fail notification to a table in Excel that you can check. I only tested this by generically forcing a test query to fail, but I think an authentication error should trigger this as well. There are ways you can return specific details on errors in PQ as well, but I don't know if that's necessary for what you want to accomplish here.

Q: Different Loop for tag pages? I have a theme that uses one template file to render the index of the blog, the loop is basic:
if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

I want to use another custom loop for all my is_tag( '' ) pages.
if ( is_tag() ) {
    if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
}  else {
    $paged      = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
    $query_args = array(
        'post_type'         => 'post',
        'post_status'       => array( 'private', 'publish' ),
        'posts_per_page'    => 20,
        'paged'             => $paged,
    );
    $the_query  = new WP_Query( $query_args );

    if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :

        <!-- the new loop -->
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();

}

This doesn't work at all. It renders everything below header blank. Any ideas how I can do this in a simple way?
EDIT: I understand is_tag() might not work outside the loop is this why this isn't working? What is the good solution?

A: Your code is trying to use if statements to control which if statements are being used, etc, which is meta programming. It will not work, and it can never work.
<?php

if ( is_tag() ) {
    if ( have_posts() ) {
        while ( have_posts() ) {
            the_post();
        }
    else {
        $paged      = ( get_query_var('paged') ) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
        $query_args = array(
            'post_type'         => 'post',
            'post_status'       => array( 'private', 'publish' ),
            'posts_per_page'    => 20,
            'paged'             => $paged,
        );
        $the_query  = new WP_Query( $query_args );

        if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {

            <!-- the new loop -->
        while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
            $the_query->the_post();
        }

The above code is equivalent to what you wrote, and has the following issues:

*

*There's a HTML comment in the middle of your PHP code, this is invalid syntax and isn't PHP

*You never close your first if statement, or your second.

*Your first post loop doesn't actually do anything

*Your else statement is missing a closing brace

*You attempt to create a brand new query rather than modifying the existing one with the pre_get_posts filter. This implies you're doing this in a page template and trying to display posts, rather than relying on knowledge of the template hierarchy. Did you know WordPress provides templates for tags categories and custom post types, even down to individual dates and specific categories? Read about the template hierarchy, it will save you a stupendous amount of time, you could be wasting thousands in wasted in billable hours by not knowing about it.

Because of all these syntax errors PHP gives up and sends an error. This is why you get nothing below your header, because the PHP that happens after your header is invalid. To do what you tried to do you would need a preprocessor, which PHP doesn't have
You stated this template is for the homepage, but that it's also being used in tag archives, which implies this is actually index.php.
So instead, lets identify 2 problems:

*

*You need to modify what gets shown on the homepage

*You need to show something else when on tag archives

Solving Problem 1
Your solution so far has been to ignore what WordPress retrieved from the database and make a second database query. This is expensive and equivalent to this:

You send your PA out every morning to fetch you a cup of tea. You send them to a place 30 minutes away, and every day when they come back you throw the tea on the floor and say "Actually I want a latte"

Suffice to say this is expensive and wastes a lot of time. Your new WP_Query is equivalent to query_posts. People say don't use query_posts because of what it does, what's happening here is a slightly more elegant way of doing the same thing, it's still fundamentally expensive.
Instead, lets use pre_get_posts:
function exclude_category( $query ) {
    if ( $query->is_home() && $query->is_main_query() ) {
        $query->set( 'posts_per_page', '20' );
        $query->set( 'post_status', array( 'private', 'publish' );
    }
}
add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'exclude_category' );

That filter will modify the query before it happens on your homepage, allowing you to use a standard, normal post loop, rather than a custom WP_Query loop. Pagination will simply work out of the box, and there won't be any additional queries. This is equivalent to:

Just before the PA goes out to get the cup of tea, you tap them on the shoulder and say "This order's wrong, sorry about that, can you get me a latte instead?". The PA gets a latte the first time, no tea is thrown on the floor, and you get your drink a lot quicker

As an aside, index.php is the fallback template. For your homepage, consider using home.php.
Like all filters, this goes in functions.php, not your template.
Solving Problem 2
Use tag.php, it's as simple as that. Don't try to use the same template to display multiple things with conditionals everywhere, just follow the template hierarchy and let WordPress do the work


FeLV, Feline Leukemia Virus, is a deadly disease that affects domestic cats and some wild ones as well.
There are 3 main types of FeLV, A, B and C. Infection of one, two or all three can occur in a cat.
A is in all FeLV diagnosed cats. It results in a severly weakened immune system.
Half of all cats infected with FeLV result in B, tumors and other abnormal growths.
C is found in only about 1% of FeLV infections and causes severe anemia.
The virus continues to reproduce, spreading via the bloodstream to other parts of the body such as lymph nodes, intestines and bone marrow. Because of the weakened immune system, cats are susceptible to other types of infection.
There is a vaccine against FeLV, but it is not 100% effective.
There is a blood test to determine the presence of FeLV which is given by the vet. It is a good idea to have your cat tested if you have a multi-cat household and/or your cats go outdoors.
