DEEP BREATH: "For the Frenzied"
Friends, activists and kingdom-bearing saints:
I've had a day. A busy day. A full day. Running from gig to gig. Bouncing from Zoom to Zoom. Bearing witness. Putting out fires. Starting others. You know what I mean. A day like that. I'm privileged -- beyond belief -- to be spending my time like this. It's a complete and total joy.
But it's frenzied. I get frenzied. Twenty-something days to November 3. Deportations. Court packing in DC.
So I want to offer this: to all of you who -- like me -- are working long days, worrying about big issues, showing up for critical hearings, protesting huge injustices. Hour after hour after hour. Day by day by day. You know who you are.
Breathe. Don't stop caring. But breathe. Don't stop loving. But breathe. Don't stop making (good) trouble. But breathe.
Remember that the Breath of God (the ruach stirring over the face of the deep) is always and forever at play in the world. She's stirring in the winds of autumn. She's stirring in the torrential rains. She's stirring in the hearts of dreamers and resisters and lovers. And she's stirring in your lungs, in your bodies, in your hearts, in your very particular lives. The Breath of God. You didn't make it happen. You do nothing to make it happen. She is -- and always has been -- the lifeforce shining in darkness, the vision breaking through unknowing, the liberating spirit fanning the flames of hope in the hopeless.
Today I've taken myself far too seriously. Don't get me wrong. What I'm doing -- what I've done -- is important, consequential. It's discipleship. And it means everything to me. But I've taken myself too seriously today. Because it's not about me. I don't have to create this energy, or imagine this work, or keep it going. It's the work and energy of God. It's the Song of Creation. It's the ruach -- finding you, finding me -- who will not stop until the whole Creation sings glory and feasts as one.
Tomorrow, I'm going to laugh a little more, and wince less. Tomorrow, I'm going to sing a little bit, and curse just a little less frequently. Because I know where this going. You do too. And it ain't going to Mar a Lago or some golden tower in Manhattan. It ain't going to wacky rallies and superspreaders and ranting old men. It's all going to God. It's already there. She's got this.
Sleep well.

Today, like all days, is sacred and strange. This very moment, like all moments, is gift and opportunity. I hope you're finding ways to receive and cherish the gift: even and especially now, even and especially as a terrible pandemic is changing almost everything about our lives. And if this blog can help with that, if something here serves to encourage or inspire you, so much the better.
As a parish pastor, I face an uncertain future: church services when no one's in church; community building when the community's in diaspora; discipleship and witness when we're not at all sure what we're looking at. So, if you're battling some anxieties, if you're wondering what comes next...I'm with you. Believe me: I'm with you.
And still, at the heart of my faith, passed on from generation to generation, is this experience: that somehow, through some amazing grace, perfect love casts out fear. In the shadow of a thousand empires, our friends have boldly proclaimed it. Perfect love casts out fear. Speaking truth to power, protesting slavery, deconstructing nuclear weapons, our friends have boldly proclaimed it. Perfect love casts out fear. Welcoming weary refugees, organizing with the poorest among us, our friends have boldly proclaimed it. Perfect love casts out fear. Making amends for sexism, making amends for homophobia, making amends for anti-Semitism and colonialism, our friends have boldly proclaimed it. Perfect love casts out fear.
This is my calling now, and the vocation of the beloved community, the church of the Christ who fears no virus, who fears no empire, who fears no cruelty. Let's love one another generously, wildly and bravely. Let's rejoice in every sunrise and enjoy every moment with our children, friends and allies. And let's build communities of faith, communities of resistance, communities of tenderness--in every way we know how. And a few we're just beginning to learn.

WELCOME to VALLEY RISE UP: a blog exploring faith and wonder, ethics and passion. If you find something helpful here, anything helpful here, I hope you'll take it along and make it work for you. More than anything else, I see myself as a spiritual guide and mentor for seekers and believers. In a beautiful and befuddling world, faith offers courage, resilience and tenderness. At least it does for me. On the side, I love to read and write poetry, and I've written a number of hymns and songs as well. In VALLEY RISE UP, I try to keep the conversation alive, exploring grace, peacemaking, human yearning and hope.

"If the inner life is great," said Meister Eckhart 800 years ago, "the outer life will never be puny." Eckhart and others talk about two dimensions in prayer: the horizontal (connecting us in lovingkindness to others) and the vertical (uniting us in love with the Source of all that is and will be). The two intersect in stillness, in reflection, in meditation, in prayer. And this kind of practice is cultivated, tended like a garden, through daily experience and circles of support. There are so many ways into a practice of prayer. For some of us, silence is the key; for others, it's movement, yoga, tai chi, qi gong. The key seems to be discipline, and steady practice. It's a wild and noisy world out there, so find a place and time to step aside and pray. And do it often.

MY LORD GOD, I have no idea where I am going. I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself, and the fact that I think I am following your will does not mean that I am actually doing so. But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope I have that desire in all that I am doing. I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire. And I know that if I do this you will lead me by the right road, though I may know nothing about it. Therefore I will trust you always though I may seem to be lost and in the shadow of death. I will not fear, for you are ever with me, and you will never leave me to face my perils alone.

Ryan Tannehill's knee injury less serious than first feared
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Ryan Tannehill's left knee injury is less serious than first feared and no surgery is expected, but it remains unlikely he'll play again this season for the Miami Dolphins.
The quarterback's injury was diagnosed as a sprained ACL and MCL, coach Adam Gase said Monday.
When Tannehill was hurt Sunday against Arizona, the Dolphins (8-5) feared a torn ACL that would require surgery and a long, arduous rehabilitation.
Despite the surprising news, Matt Moore is expected to make his first start since 2011 on Saturday against the New York Jets.
Tannehill limped out of Sunday's win in the third quarter after being hit by defensive tackle Calais Campbell as he released a completion. Miami led 21-9 when Tannehill was hurt and won 26-23 on a last-second field goal.
The victory didn't help the Dolphins' glum mood. Tannehill was red-eyed on the sideline as the game ended and left the stadium on crutches.
But the Dolphins learned late Sunday he won't need surgery.
"Better than what we thought," Gase said. "I was happy for him. That's a hard injury to come back from and rehab. It's a long, long process."
ACL surgery generally requires at least a nine-month recovery. Gase said the Dolphins don't know how long Tannehill will be sidelined by the sprained knee, but it's questionable whether he would be available even deep into the postseason.
While Tannehill was at the team complex Monday, Moore was not — his wife was having their third child. But he'll soon be cramming as the new No. 1 quarterback.
After a slow start against Arizona, Moore led a late drive that ended with the game-winning field goal.
The Dolphins won for the seventh time in the past eight games and forged a tie with Denver in the race for the final AFC wild-card berth.
Only two Dolphins on the active roster have been with the team longer than Moore, a 10-year veteran who joined Miami in 2011. He has 25 starts but none since the Dolphins drafted the durable Tannehill, who started 77 consecutive games in his first five NFL seasons despite taking 213 sacks.
Moore has thrown 16 passes in the past four seasons, including five Sunday. He has a 13-12 record as a starter — giving him a career winning percentage better than Tannehill — but this week will be the first time Moore has started for a team with a winning record.
The new backup quarterback is expected to be rookie Brandon Doughty, a seventh-round draft pick from Western Kentucky who grew up near the Dolphins' complex.
Tannehill likely finishes 2016 with career highs in passer rating (93.5), completion rate (67.1 percent) and yards per attempt (7.7).

Research into life-threatening heart condition backed with £1.4million grant
Researchers are launching a new clinical trial into a rare heart condition, with a £1.4million grant from the British Heart Foundation and funding from the Marfan Trust. The research into Marfan Syndrome will look at a potentially life-saving treatment, in a trial involving 500 patients, led by the team from Royal Brompton Hospital with St George's and research support from the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR).
Marfan Syndrome is an inherited condition, affecting one in 3,300 people in the UK. It affects the body's connective tissues, which provide support and structure to other tissue and organs. The symptoms vary from person to person and can affect blood vessels, heart and the skeleton. Marfan Syndrome can cause the wall of the main blood vessel in the heart, known as the aorta, to expand. Without treatment, the aorta can eventually rupture, leading to life threatening bleeding and death. The Aortic Irbesartan Marfan Study (AIMS) study will help to investigate whether a commonly used blood pressure treatment, Irbesartan, could reduce the expansion of the aorta and delay the need for major surgery.
Chronic disease care poorer in nursing and residential homes under GP target scheme
The quality of chronic disease care under the GP pay for performance system is poorer for residents of care home than those living in the community, according to a study published on bmj.com today.
The Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) for general practice is a voluntary system of financial incentives, which has been in place since 2004 and part of this programme includes specific targets for GPs to demonstrate high quality care for patients with chronic diseases.
Surge in UK cocaine importation, says SGUL drug expert-led UN report
The UK is becoming an increasingly important hub for the importation of cocaine into the rest of Europe, the United Nations drugs body – led by St George's drug policy expert Professor Hamid Ghodse – has warned.
Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain are the traditional routes for the drug's entry to the EU, but the latest Annual Report by the International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) said there had been a recent surge in cases of the UK being used as point of entry.
Nutrition review led by St George's expert finds demand for national advice for food in childcare
A review headed by St George's child nutrition expert Dr Anthony Williams says childcare providers and parents want clearer guidance on what under-fives should eat and drink in childcare.
The review, from a panel of independent experts, highlights confusion about how to make sure young children in childcare are being given the right foods to meet their nutritional needs.
St George's professor takes up council seat for global lymphoedema research group
Peter Mortimer, professor of dermatological medicine at St George's, has been appointed to the Lymphatic Research Foundation's Scientific/Medical Advisory Council. Prof Mortimer will sit on the council for the next two years. He will be joined other experts in the field from academic and medical institutions in Europe and the US.
The Lymphatic Research Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to advance research of the lymphatic system and to find the cause and cure for lymphatic diseases, lymphoedema, and related disorders. It was founded in New York in 1998, and is the world's foremost body for lymphatic science research.


R you crazy? Eat oysters in August? Yes, yes you can!
We'll be gathering at favorite oyster bars around town this month to enjoy oysters without regard for the old "R Month Rule" you know, "never eat oysters in a month without an R". While oysters are at their plumpest in the fall and winter, we can enjoy them year round.
This month we're enjoying them without concern, know why?
Oysters from reputable sources are taken from clean waters.
They're transported safely (i.e. proper refrigeration).
In the past, each of these aspects could be problematic. Not so much now. If you love oysters as I do, no reason to deprive yourself just because it's summer!
By the way, have you liked our Oyster Century Club Facebook page yet? Check out my shucking video there. Tips for buying, storing, and shucking.
JOIN US: Thursday Aug 4 @ The Merchant! Free admission to members (bring your card!), join us for specials and free admission to more events. We'll have 1/2 price oysters, gather entries for raffle of great swag.
Oysters at the Old Port Sea Grille, Portland Me.
Here are some other great oyster shots from my weekend in Portland.
At our event at Merchant, we'll cover some tips for warm weather enjoyment. Here are some great resources for anyone tasting along in Brussels, San Fran, Seattle, Toronto...everywhere our OCC members are.
Pangea Shellfish has a great video course which is quick and fun. Warning: it will make you crave oysters! Check it out here.

Plus you locate some really cute Valentine graphics. McCoy, Bell, Weaver, and sometimes Buckley, tend to be key in trying to fill Westbrook's shoes as well as adding their own identity for this team. From the real-time degrading of the ice to movement belonging to the players' jerseys and farmville is lovely. Tight ends must be able a person the offensive line block, as well as turned into a target for your QB.

When KFC's employees called for a voice, the company turned to Yammer to help connect and engage its staff. KFC employed SWOOP to understand what it is that engages teams.
A "People First" culture, based on employee engagement and trust – these are KFC's key ingredients for success.
KFC Australia (KFC) is committed to being a brand loved by all – by every customer and their 35,000-plus employees, spread across 642 company and franchisee-owned restaurants.
Its customer promise is irresistible taste and a memorable experience.
Internally, KFC's "people promise" is to be your best self, make a difference and have fun.
KFC prides itself on achieving that brand love from the inside out through building engagement and living its people promise.
KFC's People Capability Director, Jonathan D'Souza, speaking at Microsoft's Employee Engagement Summit.
It employs around one in every 700 people in Australia. Most team members start working at KFC at the age of 15 and the average age of team members is 17. In total, one in 45 Australian youths work at KFC.
"You can see it's an amazing opportunity for us to build that brand love internally first," KFC's People Capability Director, Jonathan D'Souza, told Microsoft's Employee Engagement Summit.
KFC researched what it was people wanted when working at KFC. They wanted a voice and they wanted to feel connected. Regardless if they worked in Darwin, in Australia's Top End, or the island state of Tasmania, team members wanted to feel part of one KFC family.
KFC decided to launch Microsoft's Enterprise Social Network tool Yammer in 2015 to achieve the goal of connecting staff and giving them a voice.
"By using Yammer, it allowed us to not only connect our teams all across Australia but it helped them give us the voice that they wanted," Mr D'Souza said.
The impact of Yammer has been extraordinary.
From a business outcome, KFC can directly link Yammer campaigns to a 28 per cent increase in safety incident reporting across its 642 restaurants in Australia. Just as importantly, engagement across the business is up 36 per cent and team members are feeling connected, according to SWOOP.
An example of using Yammer at KFC to recognise great work by team members.
Data from SWOOP gives KFC insights into engagement rates, provides real-time data on who is connecting with whom, which teams, departments and restaurants are collaborating, it shows every employee's online behaviours, identifies influencers and assesses the levels of engagement between executives and frontline staff.
Mr D'Souza says one of the ways KFC uses Yammer every day is for recognition.
"The impact of peer-to-peer recognition in real time is just amazing," he said.
It's led from the top, with KFC's South Pacific Managing Director Nikki Lawson one of the most prolific to recognise and congratulate team members.
A Yammer post from KFC's South Pacific Managing Director Nikki Lawson.
Ms Lawson is one of KFC's top 10 most active users on Yammer, according SWOOP.
Almost as powerful is peer-to-peer recognition.
"You may have a shift supervisor who recognises someone on Yammer and then it becomes viral," Mr D'Souza said.
Senior leaders use Yammer as way for every team member to have a direct connection with head office.
Below is a post from KFC's "Yammertime" group where Chief People Officer Rob Phipps stayed on Yammer for 90 minutes to give live answers to questions from team members. He even suggested a few questions of his own, such as advice on career pathways and an invitation to ask him personal questions.
"(He) gives the opportunity to our team members to ask in real time, real questions and get authentic responses," Mr D'Souza said.
KFC leaders are big proponents of fun. They introduced "Friendly Friday", where team members were given free licence to go out and engage with their customers.
Embracing fun in KFC restaurants on Friendly Friday.
"They dressed as super heroes and, I can tell you, not only did customer satisfaction get up on a Friday but all week round," Mr D'Souza said.
Healthy competition between restaurants is another use for Yammer, driving direct business outcomes.
They hold Peak Speed Competitions, measuring the night's average speeds on drive-through service and the store with the fastest service is declared the winner.
It all leads to a better a customer experience.
KFC is big on trust. Mr D'Souza recommends showing that trust by putting no limitations on how team members can use Yammer.
In fact, one way they regularly use Yammer internally in restaurants is to post rosters and swap shifts, eliminating messy paper rosters.
Mr D'Souza said KFC has had to remove only 0.03 per cent of all posts on Yammer.
KFC has partnered with SWOOP to understand the data behind what is engaging teams.

As well as providing real-time data on who is connecting with whom, SWOOP will track sentiment in the network, tell you when people are posting, find the hot topics, show the health of the network, the most engaging posts and give every employee tips on how to improve their online collaboration.
Mr D'Souza said while it was great to have 25,000 team members on Yammer, there was no point having those numbers if team members are not regularly using it.
"The biggest thing we wanted to understand is what is the active engagement rate as opposed to just measuring the number of people that were on there and SWOOP does that for us," he said.
With the help of data from SWOOP, KFC set the goal this year of 35 per cent active engagement, which has already been well surpassed.
Given the high rate of casual employment and turnover of staff due to the nature of the industry, KFC is thrilled with the result and plans to increase the goal in 2019.
KFC's SWOOP dashboard shows Influential People and Cross Team Collaboration.
The next step for KFC is getting area coaches to use their own SWOOP dashboard to better understand how each franchisee is collaborating and which stores are more active on Yammer.
"They may have eight stores in their area, and they may use SWOOP to understand if it is one store that is driving all the engagement in their area, or is it all stores?" Mr D'Souza said.
Mr D'Souza said KFC relies on SWOOP to understand who its active users are.
KFC team members use Yammer to recognise "People First".
"There are some people who will go on Yammer five times a day and then there will be other people who don't use it at all. By us understanding who those active users are, we can generally go to them to ignite initiatives, we can go and ask them for feedback. We use them as subject matter experts when we want to roll something out on Yammer," he said.
Even with active engagement levels at 35 per cent, if the largest franchisee in the country is not using Yammer, it's hard to get excited. With SWOOP, that situation could be easily addressed.
"SWOOP data gives us that understating so we can start to go to that franchisee and say; 'Why are you guys not using it? How can we help you?'," Mr D'Souza said.
A post from KFC's Wellness campaign.
Dr D'Souza says for KFC, Yammer is all about "engagement, engagement, engagement", mixed with lots of fun.

Q: React-d3 findComponentRoot(..., .0.0.1.0.0.1.0.$/=13.0.$faux-dom-0): Unable to find element I try to use react with react-d3 but I'm getting error all the time, at first time, I have use react v16 but it request React v0.14.9.
So now I can see the Chart before error appears.
I have used this tuto from react d3.
After setting it there that error:
findComponentRoot(..., .0.0.1.0.0.1.0.$/=13.0.$faux-dom-0): Unable to find element. This probably means the DOM was unexpectedly mutated (e.g., by the browser), usually due to forgetting a <tbody> when using tables, nesting tags like <form>, <p>, or <a>, or using non-SVG elements in an <svg> parent. Try inspecting the child nodes of the element with React ID ''.

It sound like I have a table but not, App.js look like:
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import './App.css';
import {Chart} from 'react-d3-core';
import {LineChart} from 'react-d3-basic';

class App extends Component {

  render() {
    var chartData = [
        {data: 2000}
    ]
    var width = 700,
    height = 300,
    margins = {left: 100, right: 100, top: 50, bottom: 50},
    title = "User sample",
    // chart series,
    // field: is what field your data want to be selected
    // name: the name of the field that display in legend
    // color: what color is the line
    chartSeries = [
      {
        field: 'BMI',
        name: 'BMI',
        color: '#ff7f0e'
      }
    ],

    x = function(d) {
      return d.index;
    }

    return (
      <div className="App">
            <Chart
              title={title}
              width={width}
              height={height}
              margins= {margins}

}

export default App;

  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "webpack-cli": "^3.1.0"
  }
}

There is no reason to have that error because Chart doesn't have table form.
I've try to use before it with react16 but with no success, many errors...
Edit: Now we use d3.js instead of react-d3 and it works but that's better if anyone have that problem to solve it.

A: IMHO this error isn't related to entire app root ('root' in html) but one of subcomponents.
In earlier versions of react rendered DOM nodes were identified by additional html property 'data-reactid' with values related to virtual node paths. '.0.0.1.0.0.1.0...' is an example of this.
This errors means that react has this node in virtual tree, wants to update it in DOM but for some reason DOM node (rendered earlier with this id) dissapeared. Maybe browser 'corrected' bad html structure? This can be related to any html error, table was shown as example reason.
Any reason to not switch from not maintained 'react-d3' into 'react-d3-components'?

Lew Allen, Jr (ur. 30 grudnia 1925 w Miami, zm. 4 stycznia 2010 w Potomac Falls w stanie Wirginia) – generał Sił Powietrznych Stanów Zjednoczonych, amerykański oficer, m.in. dyrektor Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego (NSA) w latach 1971-1977.

Życiorys
Absolwent Akademii Wojskowej w West Point, magisterium i doktorat uzyskał na Uniwersytecie Illinois. Jako najmłodszy oficer Sił Powietrznych Stanów Zjednoczonych, pełnił służbę na różnych stanowiskach mających związek z bronią jądrową. W 1961 przeniesiony do Biura Dyrektora Badań i Techniki Departamentu Obrony (Department of Defense – DoD), odtąd współpracował z Narodowym Biurem Rozpoznania, kierującym działaniami amerykańskich satelitów szpiegowskich. Następnie od 1965 do 1968 sprawował funkcję zastępcy dyrektora Biura Programów Specjalnych Sił Powietrznych (AFSPO), leżącego w strukturach NRO w Los Angeles, później pełnił inne funkcje w organizacjach pomocniczych US Air Force. Od 1971 dyrektor Biura Programów Specjalnych. W marcu 1973 nowy dyrektor Centrali Wywiadu (tym samym szef Centralnej Agencji Wywiadowczej), James Schlesinger, mianował go szefem sztabu Wspólnoty Wywiadów. W sierpniu 1973, zaledwie pięć miesięcy po tej nominacji, został dyrektorem Agencji Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego, zastępując na tym stanowisku generała porucznika Samuela Phillipsa. Obejmując to stanowisko, wpadł w środek burzy, jaka rozpętała się w związku z podsłuchami zakładanymi przez Agencję na terenie kraju. Kongres, sądy i media zaczęły domagać się ustalenia roli, jaką NSA odegrała w akcji masowego podsłuchu rozmów telefonicznych prowadzonych przez obywateli amerykańskich, ujawnionej w wyniku przecieków z różnych źródeł. 8 sierpnia 1975 Allen, jako pierwszy w historii szef NSA składający zeznania przed komisją Kongresu, stanął przed obliczem Specjalnej Komisji Izby Reprezentantów ds. Wywiadu, zwanej "Komisją Pike'a". Wkrótce po zakończeniu trwającego cztery godziny przesłuchania przy drzwiach zamkniętych Allena czekała równie żmudna procedura przesłuchań, też przy drzwiach zamkniętych, przez senacką Komisję ds. Wywiadu, znaną jako "Komisja Churcha". Zeznając przed nią 29 października 1975, Allen ujawnił, że lista obiektów szczególnego zainteresowania Agencji zawiera dane personalne ok. 1700 amerykańskich obywateli i prawie 6 tys. obcokrajowców. Allen zdołał wytrzymać tę ciężką próbę i Agencję Bezpieczeństwa Narodowego opuścił dopiero w lipcu 1977.

Po odejściu z NSA, od sierpnia 1977 do marca 1978, był szefem Dowództwa Systemów Sił Powietrznych (Commander of Air Force Systems Command). 1 lipca 1978 został zaprzysiężony jako szef sztabu US Air Force. Funkcję tę pełnił do chwili przejścia w stan spoczynku w czerwcu 1982.

In the latest in the series introducing the characters of the world's longest running play, The Mousetrap, Angellica Bell meets the decidedly unimpressed Mrs Boyle.
Christmas, it would seem, has not been merry for Mrs Boyle. Nor has New Year been happy. I suspect that far from being the most wonderful time of the year, as Andy Williams would have us believe, the festive season has been as miserable as a long-running French revolutionary musical for the guest at Monkswell Manor.
As we find out during this interview, Mrs Boyle – no relation to Susan – is as grumpy as a pantomime dwarf and harder to please than Paul Hollywood in a world without flour. Could anything make her snowed-in stay at the newly opened guesthouse any worse? I suspect so.
Mrs Boyle is just one of the guests caught up in the life-endangering shenanigans in Agatha Christie's long-running thriller that has kept audiences in London's West End guessing about the identity of the murderer since 1952.
You can watch the interview at the top of the page. Next week we'll be introduced to Major Metcalf.

So it's Stoke City against West Ham, the Potters against Marko Arnautovic, and the stakes couldn't be higher. A disastrous set of results over the weekend means Paul Lambert's men need a victory tonight just to keep pace with their relegation rivals. A fifth successive defeat would push them that little bit closer to the unthinkable.
But the Stoke boss remains in an upbeat mood as he takes his team south, praising the players who have rediscovered the Potter's unique Premier League DNA, albeit in lost battles against Arsenal and Spurs. Now he is hoping for a change in fortunes against another London side.
We will bring you the latest Stoke City teams news, transfer rumours and opinion ahead of the big match, plus all the action from the London Stadium from about 6.30pm onwards. We also want to hear from you, so please send us your views via our Stoke City Facebook and Twitter accounts.
A new report from the Football Observatory shows that only 26 players in Europe's top five leagues - including Buffon and Messi - have been with their clubs longer than Ryan Shawcross has been at Stoke.
Can he lead the Potters to an important win tonight?
Stoke City are hosting a celebratory lunch to mark club legend Gordon Banks' 80th birthday, and we have two pairs of tickets to give away for the VIP event.
The World Cup winner will be joined by special guest Sir Geoff Hurst, his former Stoke and England team-mate, at the bet365 Stadium this Friday, April 20, starting at noon. They will be talking about their illustrious careers and taking questions from fans.
Banks spent six years with the Potters. His 194 appearances for the club included Stoke's victory over Chelsea in the 1972 League Cup final. He also won 73 caps for England, the highlight being the 4-2 defeat of West Germany at Wembley to win the World Cup in 1966.
Tickets for the lunch are still available. They cost £59 per person and include a two-course meal. To buy tickets, call (01782) 592 233 or email events@stokecityfc.com. Of course, you could instead answer the following question to be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets.
How many England caps did Gordon Banks win?
Stokies here, Stokies there, Stokies every... well you get the idea. And it seems you don't have to be Potteries born and bred to feel the pain of this season's slow decent towards relegation... or have an opinion on just what's gone done wrong.
Mark Lawrenson (BBC): If the Hammers win this game they are virtually safe, while Stoke would be left in all sorts of trouble. Things look bad enough for them already. The Potters need to start winning games, but they just don't have enough firepower in their side and they are not good enough defensively to buy themselves time to nick a goal. In contrast, West Ham carry a threat at the moment through Marko Arnautovic, who is flying after making a slow start. He will not need any extra motivation to continue his good form against his former club. I'm going for 2-0 to the Hammers.
Michael Owen (Metro): You have to go back to December 2016 for the last time West Ham gained back-to-back home wins and I feel the Potters might take a vital point in the capital. Stoke are fighting for their Premier League lives, but do have a good record at West Ham where they are unbeaten in their last five league visits. I'm going for 1-1.
Stoke fans hate me because I was their favourite and I left. I never did anything bad towards them, but they love their club so they turned against me. I understand that. It would be a shame if Stoke were to go down because they were a top-10 club and we never had to fight relegation when I was there. However, West Ham are not where we must be either and that's my only concern.
Who would you send out to tackle the Hammers?

Expression Efficiency
For researchers looking for fast access to their protein of interest, cell-free expression systems are an attractive option, as they do not require specialized equipment, are open systems, and offer fast screening of expression constructs for expression efficiency, yield, solubility and other criteria (e.g. requirement of cofactors).
A broad range of eukaryotic proteins require posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, glycosylation, or signal peptide cleavage to display full functional activity.
We will describe the most important features of a new system for recombinant eukaryotic protein expression that retains the speed and economy inherent to cell-free methods. Data showing the ability of the system to generate complex posttranslational modifications (PTMs), including highly efficient glycosylation of EPO and ORM1 proteins (Figure 1) and phosphorylation of AKt1 kinase (Figure 2) will be presented. The robustness of the system is demonstrated by the expression of membrane proteins (e.g., OGCP) and the synthesis of several proteins, such as human clotting factors, that could not be expressed in E. coli systems.
6xHis-tagged EPO (erythropoietin) and ORM1 (Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein 1) were expressed as 14C-Leu-labeled proteins using the EasyXpress Protein Synthesis Insect Kit. After expression an aliquot of each was treated with the endoglycosidase EndoH, which removes glycan moieties form glycosylated proteins. Aliquots of treated and untreated protein separated by SDS_PAGE and proteins visualized by autoradiography.
Akt1 was expressed in triplicate reactions using the EasyXpress Protein Synthesis Insect Kit. 2.5 μl aliquots were separated by SDS-PAGE and protein detected by Immunoblotting using an antibody specific for akt1 phosphorylated at Ser 473. NTC: no template control; M: marker.
Expressed proteins with the EasyXpress Protein Synthesis Insect Kit are post-translationally modified with high efficiency.

Q: Type stability for a function involving case distinctions I am writing a function which computes the weights for the barycentric interpolation formula. Ignoring type stability, that's easy enough:
function baryweights(x)
    n = length(x)
    if n == 1; return [1.0]; end # This is obviously not type stable

    xmin,xmax = extrema(x)
    x *= 4/(xmax-xmin)
    # ^ Multiply by capacity of interval to avoid overflow
    return [
        1/prod(x[i]-x[j] for j in 1:n if j != i)
        for i = 1:n
    ]
end

The problem for type stability is to work out the return type of the n > 1 case so I can return an array of the correct type in the n == 1 case. Is there an easy trick to achieve this?

A: I am not sure if I understand your plans. But maybe something like this could help? ->
baryone(t::T) where T<:Real = [1.]
baryone(t::T) where T<:Complex = [1im]  # or whatever you like here

function baryweights(x::Array{T,1}) where T<:Number
    n = length(x)
    n == 1 && return baryone(x[1])
    xmin,xmax = extrema(x)  # don't forget fix extrema for complex! :)
    x *= 4/(xmax-xmin)
    # ^ Multiply by capacity of interval to avoid overflow
    return [
        1/prod(x[i]-x[j] for j in 1:n if j != i)
        for i = 1:n
    ]
end

Warning: I am still newbie! If I try @code_warntype baryweights([1]) I just see plenty of warnings. (Also if I avoid calling baryone). For example n is Any !!
Edit:
I asked on discourse and now see that @code_warn return much better result if we use another variable (y):
function baryweights(x::Array{T,1}) where T<:Number
    n = length(x)
    n == 1 && return baryone(x[1])
    xmin,xmax = extrema(x)  # don't forget fix extrema for complex! :)
    let y = x * 4/(xmax-xmin)
        # ^ Multiply by capacity of interval to avoid overflow
        return [
            1/prod(y[i]-y[j] for j in 1:n if j != i)
            for i = 1:n
        ]
    end
end

Edit2: I added let to avoid y to be Core.Boxed

A: Simply call the function recursively on a dummy argument:
function baryweights(x)
    n = length(x)
    if n == 1
        T = eltype(baryweights(zeros(eltype(x),2)))
        return [one(T)]
    end

    xmin,xmax = extrema(x)
    let x = 4/(xmax-xmin) * x
        # ^ Multiply by capacity of interval to avoid overflow,
        #   and wrap in let to avoid another source of type instability
        #   (https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/15276)
        return [
            1/prod(x[i]-x[j] for j in 1:n if j != i)
            for i = 1:n
        ]
    end
end

A weekly newspaper is a general-news or current affairs publication that is issued once or twice a week in a wide variety broadsheet, magazine, and digital formats. Similarly, a biweekly newspaper is published once every two weeks. Weekly newspapers tend to have smaller circulations than daily newspapers, and often cover smaller territories, such as one or more smaller towns, a rural county, or a few neighborhoods in a large city. Frequently, weeklies cover local news and engage in community journalism.

Most weekly newspapers follow a similar format as daily newspapers (i.e., news, sports, obituaries, etc.). However, the primary focus is on news within a coverage area. The publication dates of weekly newspapers in North America vary, but often they come out in the middle of the week (Wednesday or Thursday). However, in the United Kingdom where they come out on Sundays, the weeklies which are called Sunday newspapers, are often national in scope and have substantial circulations (20 to 50 per cent higher on average than their daily sister publications).

Other types of news publications come out weekly on newsprint but are not considered general newspapers. These cover specific topics, such as sports (e.g., The Sporting News) or business (e.g., Barron's), and have larger circulations and cover much larger geographic-coverage areas. Alternatively, other news publications come out weekly on magazine-style print but are still considered general newspapers (e.g. The Economist).

History
The first weekly newspapers were Relation and weekly newspaper Aviso, which were published at beginning of 17th century. The Relation started around 1605 in Straßburg by Johann Carolus and the Aviso started in January 1609 in Wolfenbüttel.

Content
Many weekly newspapers in North America follow a similar format:

News
News coverage usually focuses on local events such as car accidents or house fires, plus local government meetings, such as city councils or school boards, and police blotters.

Sports
A weekly newspaper often covers sports teams from one or more area schools (mostly high schools), communities, or professional teams if any exist. Often, a sports reporter takes great ownership in a specific team and writes stories containing detailed accounts of games. Several photographs of the games may accompany the story. Other stories preview games, usually between traditional rivals, to build interest.

Family news and obituaries
Family news pages include announcements of births, engagements, weddings, landmark birthdays and anniversaries, and obituaries.

In the past, correspondents often submitted stories along the lines of "Mr. and Mrs. John Jones had company from out-of-town last week", although these types of stories – commonly called "Neighborhood News" or some similar name – are largely a thing of the past.

Features and reviews
Larger weeklies, especially those that are part of chains, also offer lifestyle features, reviews of local theater and arts, restaurant reviews and a food section that may concentrate on local recipes.

Editorial pages
Like daily newspapers, weekly newspapers often have an editorial page. Editorial pages also include letters to the editor, written by readers on a specific topic.

Public record
The public-record section usually includes summaries of police-incident reports, fire-department calls and court dispositions (or, the outcome of a criminal proceeding). Many newspapers also publish a list of building permits that have been issued in its circulation area.

Public notices
Public notices typically fall into one of two categories:
 Notices about hearings, advertisements for bids, financial reports, adoption of ordinances, planning applications, and other government activities which local governments are required to notify the public.
 Notices by the court system and/or law-enforcement agencies. These can include such things as lawsuits, divorce settlements and foreclosures/property repossession.

Laws in many US states dictate that a municipality or other government body must designate a newspaper of record. The official newspaper is decided based on geographical area, and often more than one newspapers are given this designation. Official newspapers receive the government's public notices, and since they are considered advertising, it can be a source of revenue for newspapers.

Advertising
Weekly newspapers often have one or more advertising sales representatives whose job it is to sell display advertisements. Most advertisements are from local businesses (although some larger companies from outside the coverage area may advertise).

Other advertisements are called classifieds, which are placed by people who want to buy or sell something (such as a car or real estate), employers who have job openings, or property owners who have rental property available.

Along with paid subscriptions, a weekly newspaper receives most of its revenue from display advertising and classified advertising.

Layout
Most weekly newspapers are laid out one or more days before the publication date. Sometimes, the layout of pages is staggered, to allow for multiple deadlines.

Like larger newspapers, most weekly newspapers these days are paginated (or laid out) using computer software, using programs such as Adobe PageMaker, Adobe InDesign or Quark Xpress. Layout is the appearance of the page and includes photographs (along with cutlines, or captions identifying the photograph's content and people), copy (the text and its typefont), headlines and white space.

At many newspapers, photographers, reporters and editors use digital cameras to take photographs and download selected photographs using a card reader. The photographs are cropped and edited using a program such as Adobe Photoshop.

After the copy and advertisements have been placed on the page, the editor will print out a proof and make any changes, if necessary. Sometimes, he or she will consult with reporters on such things as double-checking facts, proofreading headlines and other copy, or writing cut-lines for photographs. Once everyone is satisfied, a final proof is printed out and prepared for publication. The pages can be placed on dummy sheets, burned to a CD-ROM or Zip disk, or sent to the printing press (either located at the newspaper office or an off-site publication plant) by e-mail or FTP site.

Staff
Often, the staff of a weekly newspaper is smaller, with employees having several duties. For instance, a news editor may also sell advertising, while reporters could also be photographers.

The size of the news staff varies, depending on the size of the newspaper and its circulation area. Some papers have a staff of several reporters, with each reporter having a specific beat (much like a daily newspaper, with beats including schools, local government, business, police, etc.). Many smaller newspapers, however, may have as few as one reporter to cover the entire circulation area, meaning they are responsible for the entire content of the newspaper (e.g., government, business, schools, crime, features, etc.).

The experience of weekly newspaper reporters varies. Some may have years of experience (either they are satisfied where they are employed, and/or may be well-established in the community). Others may be recent college graduates early in their career, and are trying to gain experience and/or clips.

Many newspapers have at least one news clerk or editorial assistant who is responsible for typing family news and obituaries, as well as news releases announcing upcoming events. A circulation manager keeps track of subscribers (this can range from only a couple hundred to tens of thousands of subscribers), and may also be in charge of classified advertising.

As well as full-time staff reporters and photographers, many weekly newspapers also employ correspondents (sometimes called stringers), often paid on a per-story rate.

Family-owned and chains
Many weekly newspapers started as family-owned businesses, covering one or two communities and handling all editorial and business functions. The Tribune Newspaper in Humble, Texas is one example. Typically all business functions, along with the editor-in-chief would be family members, while non family members would assume reporting positions. Another example is the Campbell County Observer published in N.E. Wyoming. The owner is the publisher who also performs advertising sales, writing, distribution, books, and other duties that may be required. His wife, Candice, is an advertising saleswoman, his 9-year-old and 4-year-old children are the insert stuffers, and they all are door-to-door subscription salespeople.
As newspapers became more expensive to operate and family members declined to join the business, many weekly newspapers were purchased by larger chains of weeklies. Some family-owned newspapers are operated as chains, with the family business operating weekly newspapers in multiple towns.

The chain newspapers can be either regional or national chains. Sometimes all advertising functions are combined, with a weekly newspaper containing both ads for local businesses and for businesses in the chains area. This larger circulation can assist in bringing in national advertising to weeklies. Weeklies in chains may also have a publisher overseeing several newspapers, with a specific editor for each newspaper.

Change of the day on them

At Christmas, depending on the day of the week that Christmas Day, December 25 is on, weekly newspapers would change the day in many countries. For example, Sunday Newspapers are moved to Christmas Eve or Saturday when Christmas Day is on Sunday, and other weekly newspapers are expected to change their day at Christmas to save shops from opening on Christmas Day by law.

Energy: Back to the UK!
We're all 'Dead In Dreamland' because Energy are landing back on UK shores in July! The band quickly became a crowd favourite on the Creeper tour with fans urging them to come back soon and it seems they couldn't come back quick enough! Flying back over in July the band are taking Southampton quartet Miss Vincent out on their very first headliner in the UK!
Celebrating their return with new song 'A Prayer For Rain' it is clear the band have a great love for the UK and their fans. Speaking on the song and coming tour, lead singer Jason Tankerley said "This song was actually recorded during The Witching Hour sessions late last year. I wrote it during a difficult time late last fall on my way to one of our shows. The song means alot to me, but I have to leave the lyrics open to interpretation for personal reasons.
Also, since coming over with a new song worked out pretty well last time, and we didn't want to head back again without any new music, we decided to save this song for the tour announcement. I was beyond thrilled when I first heard that we were coming back to the U.K. We were actually asked while we were still over there at the London show of the Creeper tour I believe. Our fans over there were / are so amazing to us that we were formally asked to come back before our first ever trip to the U.K. was even over! It's just the best feeling knowing that there is new music coming out, a return to the U.K. where all the kids are just so amazing, and that this band doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit. I couldn't be more grateful for everything that's happening."
Watch the video for their new song containing footage shot on the UK tour with Creeper below and catch Energy near you, very soon as tickets go on sale this Friday!

Natural stone fabrication is a blend of automation and hard work.
Automated cutting and polishing equipment assure timely production of standard, high quality stone at a surprisingly affordable cost. Yet experienced stone craftsmen are still essential to ensure non-standard pieces are shaped and finished perfectly.
Despite granites and engineered stones having a high degree of resistance to scratching, heat and staining, they are not totally infallible and we recommend reading our care and maintenance page to ensure your investment lasts a lifetime.
As granite is 100% natural it may require some maintenance by means of sealing. This is part of our fabrication process. Ongoing, this can be done by yourself or by a professional as often as you feel required.
A high gloss smooth finish. The reflectivity of polished crystal brings out the brilliant colours and grains of natural stone. The shine comes from the natural reflection of the stone's crystals and is not from an artificial coating. Refer to our care and maintenance advice.
A matte or semi-gloss surface finish with relatively little light reflection. This matte appearance is achieved by buffing the stone surface to a lesser degree than the standard polish finish. Taking the high polish off the stone will make it more porous meaning marking may occur. Refer to our care and maintenance advice.
A texturing tool is put over the surface which removes the softer mineralisation on the surface and smoothes over the remaining stone, leaving a textured with a slight topography and matte finish. Taking the high polish of the stone will make it more porous meaning marking may occur. Refer to our care and maintenance advice.

Three Brands Presenting at Fashion Week – WWD
September 29, 2020 user	0 Comments
Username is the new fashion label of French R&B singer Dadju, who works a relaxed yet smart streetwear style suitable for different genders and body types.
"I would like the brand to represent becoming someone," he said, noting the age-old desire, especially when you're young, of being this or that star, and playing around with different identities.
"I can pull this off," he said, ripping off a vertical patch marked with the label's name off of his shirt, and attached with Velcro, showing how it could be exchanged with a similar patch in a different color scheme, worn by a colleague who sat across the room in a recording studio in the outskirts of Paris.
"I can be him from one minute to another," he said, with a smile. Dadju grew up in a musical family — his father sang with the Congolese rumba star Papa Wemba, and several of his 13 siblings are rappers, including Maître Gims, who has topped the charts in France.
Growing up, music was a huge influence in Dadju's Congolese family, but so was fashion.
"I remember, five years old, my mother put me in Versace boots — with a pair of jeans and a sweater," he recalled.
"You see, Congolese are 'sapologues,'" he said, referring to a Congolese movement of dressing snappy and reinventing fashion codes.
"Sometimes it's exaggerated a bit, because you'll see someone adopt a different manner when they're dressed up — when someone's wearing heels, you'll hear them tapping," added Dadju, breaking out into a harmonious laugh, a bit deeper than his soft spoken manner.
"I grew up steeped in this culture since I was young," he said, stressing the importance for his mother of dressing up.
To introduce the label, the singer held a futuristic fashion event in the north of Paris, with an elaborate setup complete with two, huge fake suns and a trio of shipping containers. Spectators were invited to wander around the post-apocalypse landscape with virtual reality technology to discover the lineup of work shirts, sweatpants, hoodies and T-shirts. — Mimosa Spencer
Prune Goldschmidt is launching a new label.
PRUNE GOLDSCHMIDT
She calls it her sixth child. Now that her five children are older — well, the youngest is just emerging from toddlerhood — Prune Goldschmidt is launching her namesake label. It plays with conservative French bourgeois codes, with extra-wide Peter Pan collars, ruffled cuffs, sashes and bows — framing the female figure while offering flashes of skin.
"It's a story of love, above all," said the designer, speaking at a showroom space in Paris. Images rolled by on the screen behind her of bored-looking, young French women lounging around in a mansion by the pool, painting, jumping on a bed or stretched out in a claw-footed bathtub, eating pasta — interrupted by the return of Goldschmidt, who flops down on a couch with giant stuffed cats, wiggling her bare feet at the camera.
"I've lived through things — I want to be there for women," she said, tracing her background designing children's clothing for Sonia Rykiel, and gaining recognition for jewelry designs before heading to Bordeaux, where she raised her children.
"I needed to exist, I needed recognition — it wasn't a choice, it was practically a question of survival," she said, speaking of the decision to launch her own label. Her creative side had followed her through motherhood.
She described her client: "She's a bit childish, but she's also an audacious woman — not afraid to say what she things and to wear what she likes. But always elegant.
"She's also in love — you see this blazer, it was the idea of a woman who puts on her man's blazer because she's cold," she added, pulling a jacket off the rack. It had buttons that were engraved with her family's monogram. — Mimosa Spencer
A look from Minuit.
This is a brave time to launch a new fashion brand, but that does not faze Laurie Arbellot and Marion Anais Forand. The two French designers, both in their mid-thirties, met and hit it off while working at Proenza Schouler in New York.
After five years thinking about it, they decided to set up their Minuit label just before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Frustrated by what they describe as a lack of a high-fashion offering at a price point their age group can afford, they were driven to create their own.
With Arbellot, who trained at Studio Bercot, now living back in Paris and Forand, an ESMOD graduate, working from New York, they are setting out to create a wardrobe they would want to wear themselves, focusing on fit, high-end fabrics and a combination of tailoring and sensuality, citing Yves Saint Laurent's approach to tailoring for women and the "pure clothes" of Nineties-era Prada and Jil Sander among their inspirations.
During their eight years at Proenza Schouler — Forand on the accessories design team and Arbellot working on ready-to-wear — the duo's shared French roots brought them together and became the building block for their own label. "We were almost the only two French girls in the company," said Arbellot in a video call. "We had that French approach that they didn't have."
Describing their shared esthetic and inspirations as they have built their proposition, they have only found greater resonances. "The way we share ideas and sketches is almost telepathic," said Forand.
The collection offers feminine twists on tailored pieces like high-waisted pants, cropped tuxedo jackets with ruched details, ultra-cropped shirts and a lightweight trenchcoat in a shimmering gray fabric. These are contrasted with pieces like bralets and evening dresses in a more sensual register that are sharply shaped yet reveal the skin. A backless strappy top in gray silk crêpe, an organza dress and a bell-sleeved off-the-shoulder top in simple poplin soften up the silhouette here and there.
Prices for the collection range from 290 euros to 2,190 euros at retail. — Alex Wynne

07-2XXX314XXM10A NO CONVICTION AS CHARGED
Case #: 07-2XXX314XXM10A NO CONVICTION AS CHARGED
The Defendant was charged with his second DUI within 5 years of a prior conviction, which is punishable by a mandatory jail sentence and 5 year drivers license revocation. The Defendant was stopped by Deputy Sheriff Sebest of the Broward County Sheriff's Office for driving with the music being played too loud. Upon making contact with the Defendant, the Deputy observed the odor of an alcoholic beverage, bloodshot eyes and slurred speech. The Deputy then noticed an open container of Gin and BVD Beer in the passenger compartment of the Defendant's vehicle on the front seat. The Defendant then began to urinate in his pants while speaking to the Deputy and became very aggressive. The Deputy was unable to administer roadside exercises as a result of the Defendant's aggressive behavior and inability to balance. The Defendant was arrested and submitted to the breath test, which resulted in readings of .161 g/210L and .164 g/210L, over twice the legal limit. The firm filed a Motion to Suppress Unlawful Arrest as the Deputy never saw the Defendant behind the wheel of the vehicle. Prior to the hearing on the Motion to Suppress the State conceded the motion and dropped all DUI charges.

Norshie 1st Team NJCAA All-American

Nina Norshie of the 15th ranked Barton Community College women's soccer team has been named to the first team of the 2022 NJCAA Division I All-America selections.
Norshie's award is the third straight and fourth All-America award winner for Head Coach Ousmane Camara following Seulgi Lee's consecutive national honors. Norshie also joins Lee as the just the program's second defender to earn the award, the fourth 1st team selection, the fifth Lady Cougar recipient and the program's sixth overall All-America award.
Posting consecutive hat tricks to begin the season, Norshie followed with a seven goal outburst tying Great Bend native Yesenia Garcia's 2007 program high single game performance.
Scoring three or more goals nine times during the season, Norshie's 43 nationally leading total posted the program's 2nd best single season accumulation and jumped into the 4th placing on the all-time career list.
Distributing a team third best 8 assists, Norshie totaled a nation leading 94 points for the program's 3rd best single season achievement while also checking in at the 7th spot of the career chart.
In addition to the seven nation leading game winning goals and a constant offensive threat on the field, the freshman from Accra, Ghana, also dropped back to the defensive line when the situation warranted which limited her attacks but proved pivotal in Barton's defensive successes leading to ten team shutouts including two in post-season action.
Norshie was among seven other teammates earning post-season conference and region honors, helping the Cougars to their fifteenth straight winning season and captured the program's fifth conference title. Completing the conference slate with an 11-2 record, the Cougars' season rolled on capturing the program's first ever Region VI and Plains District title and earning a NJCAA national tournament berth. Going 1-1 on the big stage in its national debut, the Cougars concluded the year 17-4-2.
Looking ahead to the 2023 season, the Cougars are scheduled to return five of the eight for a sophomore campaign giving Plains District Coach of the Year Camara a solid base for another title run.
