The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF®) The goal of the IETF is to make the Internet work better. The mission of the IETF is to make the Internet work better by producing high quality, relevant technical documents that influence the way people design, use, and manage the Internet. Newcomers to the IETF should start here. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is an organized activity of the Internet Society (ISOC). ISOC is a non-profit organization founded in 1992 to provide leadership in Internet-related standards, education, and policy.
Group Thinks Anonymity Should Be Baked Into the Internet Itself The Internet's main engineers have asked the architects of Tor—networking software designed to make Web browsing private—to consider turning the technology into an Internet standard. If widely adopted, such a standard would make it easy to include the technology in consumer and business products ranging from routers to apps. This would, in turn, allow far more people to browse the Web without being identified by anyone who might be spying on Internet traffic. If the discussions bear fruit, it could lead to the second major initiative of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in response to the mass surveillance by the National Security Administration. Already the IETF is working to encrypt more of the data that flows between your computer and the websites you visit (see "Engineers Plan a Fully Encrypted Internet"). Collaborating with Tor would add an additional layer of security and privacy.

Synaptic Web Stay updated about the Synaptic Web on Twitter via @SynapticWeb The Synaptic Web By Khris Loux, Eric Blantz, Chris Saad and you... The Internet is constantly evolving. Formulas for fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory royalty determination Salant, David J (2007): Formulas for fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory royalty determination. Forthcoming in: This paper takes an axiomatic approach to determining "Fair, Reasonable, and Non-Discriminatory" ("FRAND") royalties for intellectual property ("IP") rights. Drawing on the extensive game theory literature on "surplus sharing/cost sharing" problems, I describe specific formulas for determining license fees that can be derived from basic fairness principles. In particular, I describe the Shapley Value, the Proportional Sharing Rule and the Nucleolus.
Web Service Architecture A Web service is a method of communications between two electronic devices over a network. It is a software function provided at a network address over the web with the service always on as in the concept of utility computing. The W3C defines a Web service as: a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically WSDL). How to Make Google Translate Beatbox Not sure if this falls in the category of Easter Egg or clever manipulation, but either way, there go our afternoons: Redditor harrichr has devised a scheme for turning Google Translate into a makeshift beatbox machine. 1) Go to  Google Translate2) Set the translator to translate German to German3) Copy + paste the following into the translate box: pv zk pv pv zk pv zk kz zk pv pv pv zk pv zk zk pzk pzk pvzkpkzvpvzk kkkkkk bsch4) Click "listen"5) Be amazed :) For the lazy, just click this link and it'll be done for you. There's nothing magical about this particular sequence, and there's tons of room for experimentation: In German, anyway, "pv" and "zk" make complementary breathy sounds and clicks, respectively. Spaces add pauses. No idea why "bsch" makes that parrot-chirpy sound, but there you go.
File-Sharers Await Official Recognition of New Religion A group of self-confessed radical pirates are pinning their hopes on gaining official recognition of their own unique belief system. The founders of the Missionary Church of Kopimism - who hold CTRL+C and CTRL+V as sacred symbols - hope that along with this acceptance will come harmony, not just with each other, but also with the police. 'Thou shall not steal' is one of the most well-known of the Ten Commandments. Although most familiar to those in Christian circles, its message is universal and cuts across most religious boundaries. But while stealing – taking another's property and therefore depriving him of it – is widely frowned upon, some have a wider definition for the word.
Why Apple Was Right To Remove The iPhone 7 Headphone Jack iPhone 7 and EarPods / Lightning headphones (Image: Apple) Apple's new iPhone doesn't have a headphone jack, only a Lightning port that's also used to charge the battery. In-ear sound comes from the EarPods or other headphones with a Lightning connector, via a Lightning-to-3.5mm adapter (included) or wireless headphones such as AirPods (sold separately). Why did Apple remove a common audio connector? The 3.5mm jack is over 50-years-old and doesn't do much besides carry an audio signal. It needs its own power amplifier and digital audio converter, which can be built into headphones, so removing the jack makes room for other things, such as a second speaker.


Risk stacking of pneumococcal vaccination indications increases mortality in unvaccinated adults with Streptococcus pneumoniae infections.
Morton JB, Morrill HJ, LaPlante KL et al.
Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Infectious Diseases Research Program and Center of Innovation in Long Term Services and Supports, Providence, RI, United States; University of Rhode Island, Department of Pharmacy Practice, College of Pharmacy, Kingston, RI, United States.
Several chronic disease states have been identified as pneumococcal vaccination indications due to their ability to increase pneumococcal disease development and subsequent mortality. However, the risk of mortality according to the number of these disease states present is unknown. We sought to determine the impact of concomitant, multiple risk factors (stacked risks) for pneumococcal disease on 30-day mortality in adults.This was a national case-control study of unvaccinated older Veterans (≥50years of age) admitted to Veterans Affairs medical centers from 2002 to 2011 with serious pneumococcal infections (pneumonia, bacteremia, meningitis) based on positive S. pneumoniae blood, cerebrospinal fluid, or respiratory cultures, respectively. Cases were those not alive 30days following culture, while controls were alive. Using logistic regression, we quantified risk of 30-day mortality among patients with stacked risk factors, including age ≥65years, alcohol abuse, chronic heart disease, chronic liver disease, chronic respiratory disease, diabetes mellitus, immunodeficiency, and smoking.We identified 9730 serious pneumococcal infections, with an overall 30-day mortality rate of 18.6% (1764 cases, 7966 controls). Infection types included pneumonia (62%), bacteremia (26%), and bacteremic pneumonia (11%). Along with eight individual risk factors, we assessed 247 combinations of risk factors. Most cases (85%) and controls (74%) had at least two risk factors. Mortality increased as risks were stacked, up to six risk factors (one: OR 1.5, CI 1.08-2.07; two: OR 2.01, CI 1.47-2.75; three: OR 2.71, CI 1.99-3.69; four: OR 3.27, CI 2.39-4.47; five: OR 3.63, CI 2.60-5.07; six: OR 4.23, CI 2.69-6.65), with each additional risk factor increasing mortality an average of 55% (±13%).Among adults ≥50years with serious pneumococcal disease, mortality risk increased approximately 55% as vaccination indications present increased. Mortality with six stacked indications was double that of two indications.

I've been torturing my family for years, forcing them to drink the sometimes often dreadful concoctions that I formulate from a deranged aggregate of ingredients — adding a little of this and a little of that — sometimes palatable, sometimes not.
While the raw Cauliflower-Brussel Sprouts Smoothie was NOT a winner, I think I've finally developed the perfectly Ultimate Smoothie.
Nonfat yogurt, regular or Greek for more protein or soy/hemp/almond milk for vegan.
I throw it all in the blender and process until very smooth. You'll never taste the greens or the beets, but they add a bright undertone to the fruit.
If you have a lime or a lemon, add a squeeze or two. I have a friend who tosses in a whole orange, peel and all, from her own organically grown tree. I've never done that, but it's certainly an option.
Whether you try my smoothie as a meal replacement (like I do) or as a healthy between-meal snack, my Ultimate Smoothie will provide added energy and lots of nutrition for your busy day.
P.S. Yes, I use a lot of ingredients, but it's still easy to do and can be made anywhere if you have a blender or even an immersion blender.
I hate swallowing vitamins and supplements but the smooth and creamy texture of my ultimate smoothie helps them go down without gagging.
Since I've been taking Garden of Life Kind Organics supplements, I feel so good and it's really helped with my digestive issues (and my son is a fan, too!) I'm a big believer in pre and pro-biotics, balancing intestinal flora and fauna, and you remember I'm a junkie for wheat grass!
My tugboat man and son have the same routine, but theirs is especially formulated for men.
So…by now y'all are aware that I went all whiny and whingy at BlogHer14, but I came away with a few positives, like meeting the awesome reps from Garden of Life Kind Organics.
It's raw, vegan and gluten free.
One serving has 17 grams of raw plant based protein.
My family loves my protein bars — I'm on a constant quest experimenting with different recipes to pack as many nutrients as possible in every bite, and THIS one is so good, it could be a meal replacement bar, too.
There are a lot of ingredients, but don't let that scare you; it makes enough to last a long time.
This recipe uses Garden of Life Raw Protein in Vanilla, but you could use any flavor. Chocolate would be DELICOUS, and if you use that, add 1/2 cup cocoa to the dry ingredients.
We call them "Bomber Bars" 'cos "bomber" is a term for an awesome wave. In my family, everyone but me surfs, and this is a great snack when you've burned all those calories in the water.
Cook until soft, about thirty minutes, then mash or use immersion blender. Set aside.
In a really big bowl, combine the first ten dry ingredients, whisk to stir and set aside. Combine the quinoa, chia, flax, coconut, oats, and almonds on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-10 minutes @350 degrees until lightly browned.
in a large pot, mix the peanut butter and maple syrup together and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in the rice bran, salt, cinnamon, allspice, cardamom, ginger, and vanilla extract.
Combine the lentils with quinoa/oats/almonds mixture with dry ingredients that were set aside. Whisk to mix.
Pour the peanut butter/maple syrup mixture into the bowl with dry ingredients, add oil and egg (if used).
Add cooked, mashed lentils. Mix well with wooden spoon to completely incorporate.
Add fruit. At this point, I use my hands to mix it all together. The mixture is a bit heavy and thanks to the maple syrup, it should stick together, so you may need to slightly moisten hands as you go.
Line a 13×9 pan with parchment paper, leaving enough hanging over the sides so you can lift it out after it bakes and cools.
Pour the (heavy) mixture into the pan and press down firmly.
*This is a super important step. When my tugboat man is home, this is his job. When he's not here, I use a one-pound can to roll back and forth until it's a flat and mooshed(?) together as possible. Pack it down to ensure it fills each corner and creates an even, flat surface.
Bake at 350 degrees for about thirty-forty minutes. Remove from oven, and press down again. The more dense the bar, the less crumbly it'll be.
Let cool, refrigerate for at least two hours. Cut into 2×2 inch squares. To keep them fresher longer, I wrap each individually in parchment paper and always refrigerated.
One of these bars is a protein packed "bomber" that's a perfect snack or even meal replacement.
My son needs to eat several small meals with high quality nutrition and these are perfect for his busy, on-the-go lifestyle.
I'm happy because I know my family is eating healthy food made with love.

A new emergency generator has been unveiled at Doncaster Royal Infirmary (DRI) which will help to power the hospital through potential future developments and in the event of a power outage.
The generator has been installed at the Women's Hospital building at DRI as part of a multi-million pound electrical infrastructure project that is currently underway at the hospital. The Trust is investing in the extensive upgrade in order to increase the electrical capacity of the hospital by 70%, which will also help with future developments across the site.
Having unveiled the new facility in time for the winter months, the Trust is already well under way with the next phase of the project. Visitors to the hospital throughout autumn may have noticed construction work which has taken place on a new high voltage substation, which will house a new mains incoming power supply, and new high voltage equipment.
Further works are planned to begin in the coming weeks to upgrade the electrical infrastructure in the Women's Hospital itself and also to distribute the increased power from the generator to all areas of the hospital. The modernisation and upgrade of the electrical distribution network at the hospital is scheduled to continue over the next five years.
It is hoped that the additional power created by the new generator will enable the Trust to realise its plans to construct a new CT suite in Doncaster in order to improve care for cancer patients, along with providing the infrastructure for further developments in the future.


With an obsessive commitment to home-grown and local produce, THE PIG celebrates the seasons and uses only the best, freshest, and most authentic foods and ingredients. It is all about the kitchen gardens; the beating heart of the operation… everything is driven by the kitchen/forager and chef – they grow and source the food – the chef then creates the menu; uncomplicated and simple kitchen garden food, true to the micro seasons with the emphasis squarely on fresh, clean flavours. Chef Director James Golding is a friend of Enjoy – and he has clearly stamped his distinct ground roots passion on the piglets' menus.
What cannot be grown in THE PIG's kitchen garden is sourced within a 25-mile radius. There are no 'cookie-cutter roll-outs'; each hotel has its own personality and sense of self. Every PIG has evolved rather than been 'interior designed' and every property comes with laid-back warm service and a genuine commitment to environmental and social responsibility. THE PIG hotels aim to deliver an outstanding experience for every guest; a 'wow' moment that surprises and delights for a price that won't break the bank. Affordable luxury that everyone can have a piece of; young or old, with family or friends, retreating or celebrating.
Home-grown in every way – each hotel breaking the mould of designed hotels, daring to be comfortable in its own skin, working with what it has and recognising what is good. Designed in the style that has become THE PIG's signature, each hotel has a garden restaurant and bedrooms with a touch of luxury and bags of homely charm, plus Potting Shed massage treatment rooms in or near the kitchen gardens.


Overview: In order to close the global overturning circulation, high-density deep- and bottom waters produced at high latitudes must be made less dense and upwell to shallower depths. Available observations from the subtropical South Atlantic indicate that the bulk of the mixing in the deep ocean there takes place over the topographically rough Mid-Atlantic Ridge, in particular in the quasi-regularly spaced "fracture zone canyons" corrugating the ridge flanks. There, dense water is advected toward the ridge crest (i.e. upwelled) by persistent along-valley currents that flow down the unidirectional density gradients, which are maintained by strong turbulence (diapycnal mixing). Most of the data on which these inferences are based were collected during the Brazil Basin Tracer Release Experiment (BBTRE) along a single ridge-flank canyon in the western South Atlantic near 22S where previous analyses have shown that both tidal mixing and overflow processes are important. Therefore, it is likely that both processes must be considered in order to understand and parameterize the effects of turbulence and mixing in the canyons corrugating the flanks of all slow-spreading ridges, which make up large fractions of the sea floor, in particular in the Atlantic, Indian and Southern Oceans. The primary aim of this follow-on project is to improve our understanding of the dynamics over the corrugated flanks of slow-spreading mid-ocean ridges. Due to the coarse sampling resolution and choice of station locations it is not possible to answer important questions, such as the relative importance of tidal and sill mixing, from the BBTRE data. Therefore, high-resolution surveys of hydrography, three-dimensional flow, turbulence and mixing will be carried out in two neighboring canyons and over the intervening topographic spur in the BBTRE region to determine the relative contributions of tidal and sill-related mixing. Furthermore, profiling moorings deployed on two nearby sill regions will be used to derive time series of spatially integrated mixing related buoyancy fluxes and to investigate the strong but unexplained sub-inertial variability of the along-canyon flow recorded previously. Additionally, three small moorings will be deployed in saddles between the two canyons to investigate inter-canyon exchange. The data analysis will include available data from previous experiments, including a set of tracer profiles that has not been analyzed before. Intellectual Merit: The corrugated flanks of slow-spreading ridges cover large areas of the sea floor of several major ocean basins. Therefore, understanding the dynamics in the ~100 km of ridge-flank canyons and its effects on the buoyancy and upwelling budget of the abyssal ocean is of global significance. In addition to determining the relative importance of tidal mixing and cross-sill flows in two canyons, the temporal variability of turbulence and mixing from tidal to yearly time scales will be investigated to gain insights into the forcing of the along-canyon flows, the exchange between neighboring canyons, and the eventual fate of the canyon waters. Broader Impacts: It is anticipated that insights gained during this project will improve our understanding of abyssal mixing in many different regions with similar bottom topography and provide the basis for better parameterizations of the effects of turbulence and mixing in large-scale circulation and climate models that cannot resolve these small-scale processes. As part of the project, a graduate student and a post-doctoral researcher will be trained in all aspects of observational physical oceanography, from data acquisition to interpretation.

The state board of health levied five-dollar fines against undertaker Amos Batts for failing to file a death certificate and Dr. William A. Mitchner for failing to file a birth certificate.
Sometime in 1914, the Wilson Times published a three-page insert highlighting the achievements of the town's African-American community. "Wilson is fortunate in having a large proportion of sensible negroes," the writer opined, and counted among the laudable such well-known citizens and institutions as Samuel H. Vick; J.D. Reid; Dr. Frank S. Hargrave; Charles, Camillus and Arthur Darden; Levi Jones; William Hines; Henry Tart; and H.G. Barnes; Wilson Hospital and Tubercular Home for Colored People; the Colored Graded School; First Baptist Church; Saint John A.M.E. Zion Church; C.H. Darden & Sons Undertakers; and Lincoln Benefit Society.
On page one, the main text of digitized version of the insert is difficult to read, but the advertisements and photographs are clear. Surrounding an image of the just-opened Wilson Hospital and Tubercular Home are ads placed by Henry Tart, "The Transfer Man"; York Pressing Shop; and C.H. Darden Undertakers. In addition to their funeral business, the Dardens touted their bicycle and firearm dealerships and their status as agents for Victor talking machines and records. The proprietors of the pressing club are listed only as Reed and Whitty. I have not been able to identify Whitty, but Reed seems to have been Lonnie Reid (a cousin of J.D. Reid), who is listed in the 1912 Hill's city directory of Wilson operating a clothes cleaning shop at 603 East Nash Street. York was short-lived, as in the 1916 directory Reid was in business with Dunn, North Carolina, resident William Bates. Their tailor shop, Bates & Reid, also operated from 603 East Nash.

Selling to your current customers can be very profitable; that's why marketers should add customer lifecycle marketing to their strategy. Customer lifecycle marketing is a series of marketing activities that nurture your relationship with customers as they progress from lead to customer to advocate. With lifecycle marketing tools like Intercom, you can effectively drive conversions across every touchpoint of the customer lifecycle, closing more deals and increasing retention long term.
Marketers tend to focus on acquiring new customers. Yet according to Profitwell, retaining your current customers can increase your bottom line by 2x compared to acquiring new customers.
That's why marketers need to take a lifecycle marketing approach, one that uses marketing campaigns and other strategies to proactively engage with current customers as well as new leads. By giving your leads and customers the info they need to succeed at each stage of learning, you can prevent them from losing interest in your brand, reduce support requests and, ultimately, lower churn.
Create awareness of your company and its products or services. Use carefully optimized blog posts, targeted ads and landing pages to bring potential leads to your site from Google search.
Help leads learn about the value of your brand. Touchpoints like live chat, email marketing and product pages increase interest, and strong social proof like customer reviews and testimonials pave the way for an eventual purchase.
Convert your leads into paying customers. Live chat with your sales team and personalized demos help provide the final nudge needed for a conversion.
Create committed, paying customers and eventual brand advocates. Onboarding campaigns, product docs and marketing automation keep these customers happy and informed.
Convince your customers to readily refer others to your company. Ongoing touchpoints like email, social media and instant support turn customers into advocates eager to spread the word.
The more relevant a message is to your potential buyer, the more likely they are to act on it. For example, you could send specific messages if a visitor is on a pricing page or has visited your site multiple times in a short period.
If your onboarding messages appear when they're needed most – when your users are within the app – customers will be less likely to feel confused or need to contact support. Drive valuable actions by using in-app activity to trigger onboarding messages, tooltips or upsells in context.
Offering access to live chat or automated, AI-powered chatbots allows you to quickly solve issues and create customer success. Giving customers immediate access to live support or self-serve resources reduces frustration, and it's much faster than email or phone support.
If you can predict which customers are most likely to leave you, you can try to change their behavior before it happens. Use reports to identify inactive or highly active users, then display targeted messages to keep them engaged or offer access to support when they need it most.
We offer powerful segmentation and message targeting based on specific user actions, including the page they're viewing, how long they've been on your site or when they signed up. Use customer data to qualify leads and get them to the right place instantly.
Automate your drip campaigns by displaying targeted messages on your website, in-app or within email. Users learn about your product organically using the medium they like best. Just add your messages, goals and rules; we'll take care of the rest.
Our wide range of message types — live chat, in-app messaging, email and chatbots — give you the most robust engagement toolkit possible. Reach your customers at each point of the lifecycle with the exact message they need to advance to the next stage.
"We trigger Visitor Auto Messages on our subscription cancellation page to proactively engage potential churn risks before they unsubscribe. 10% of churn saves come specifically from these proactive Intercom messages on the cancellation page."

The Young and the Restless (often abbreviated as Y&R) is an American television soap opera created by William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell for CBS. The show is set in fictional Genoa City (not the real-life similarly-named Genoa City, Wisconsin). First broadcast on March 26, 1973, The Young and the Restless was originally broadcast as half-hour episodes, five times a week. The show expanded to one-hour episodes on February 4, 1980. In 2006, the series began airing previous episodes weeknights on SOAPnet until 2013, when it moved to TVGN (now Pop). As of July 1, 2013, Pop still airs previous episodes on weeknights.  The series is also syndicated internationally.

The Young and the Restless originally focused on two core families: the wealthy Brooks family and the working class Foster family. After a series of recasts and departures in the early 1980s, all the original characters except Jill Foster Abbott were written out. Bell replaced them with new core families, the Abbotts and the Williamses. Over the years, other families such as the Newman family, the Barber/Winters family, and the Baldwin-Fishers were introduced. Despite these changes, one of its most enduring storylines was the four-decade feud between Jill Abbott and Katherine Chancellor, the longest rivalry on any American soap opera.

Since its television debut, The Young and the Restless has won 11 Daytime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Drama Series. It is also currently the highest-rated daytime drama on American television, a rank it has held for 34 years as of the end of the 2021–22 season. As of 2008, it had appeared at the top of the weekly Nielsen ratings in that category for more than 1,000 weeks since 1988. As of December 12, 2013, according to Nielsen ratings, The Young and the Restless marked an unprecedented 1,300 weeks, or 25 years, as the highest-rated daytime drama. The serial is also a sister series to The Bold and the Beautiful, as several actors have crossed over between shows. The serial aired its 12,500th episode on May 1, 2022. Currently, the series has been renewed by CBS to run through the 2023–2024 television season.

Well-known celebrities that have made an appearance on the show include Katy Perry, Lionel Richie, Wayne Gretzky, Il Divo, Enrique Iglesias, and many others. Some well-known celebrities such as Eva Longoria, David Hasselhoff, Tom Selleck, and Paul Walker got their jumpstart on The Young and the Restless.

History
To compete with the youthful ABC soap operas, All My Children, One Life to Live, and General Hospital, CBS executives wanted a new daytime serial that was youth oriented. William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell created The Young and the Restless in 1972 for the network under the working title, The Innocent Years! "We were confronted with the very disturbing reality that young America had lost much of its innocence," Bell said. "Innocence as we had known and lived it all our lives had, in so many respects, ceased to exist." They changed the title of the series to The Young and the Restless because they felt it "reflected the youth and mood of the early seventies."  The Bells named the fictional setting for the show after the real Genoa City, Wisconsin, a community on U.S. Route 12 in Wisconsin along the Illinois-Wisconsin state line located between their then-home in Chicago and their annual summer vacation spot in Lake Geneva.

The Young and the Restless began airing on March 26, 1973, replacing the canceled soap opera, Where the Heart Is. Bell worked as head writer from the debut of the series until his retirement in 1998. He wrote from his home in Chicago while production took place in Los Angeles, California. Originally, Bell wanted to shoot the series in New York City; however, CBS executives felt that Los Angeles would be more cost effective. John Conboy acted as the show's first executive producer, staying in the position until 1982. Bell and H. Wesley Kenney became co-executive producers that year until Edward Scott took over in 1989. Bell then became senior executive producer. Other executive producers included David Shaughnessy, John F. Smith, Lynn Marie Latham, Josh Griffith, Maria Arena Bell, and Paul Rauch.

In the mid-1980s, Bell and his family moved to Los Angeles to create a new soap opera. During this time, his three children, William Jr., Bradley Bell, and Lauralee Bell, each became involved in soap operas. Lauralee Bell worked as an actress on The Young and the Restless. Bradley Bell co-created The Bold and the Beautiful with his father. William Bell Jr. became involved in the family's production companies as president of Bell Dramatic Serial Co. and Bell-Phillip Television Productions Inc. "It's worked out very well for us because we really all worked in very different aspects of the show," William Bell Jr. said. "With my father and I, it was a great kind of partnership and pairing in the sense that he had a total control of the creative side of the show and I didn't have even the inclination to interject in what he was doing."

After William J. Bell's 1998 retirement, a number of different head writers took over the position, including Kay Alden, Trent Jones, John F. Smith, Lynn Marie Latham, Scott Hamner, Josh Griffith, Maria Arena Bell, and Hogan Sheffer.

In 2012, former General Hospital executive producer Jill Farren Phelps was hired as the new executive producer of the soap, replacing Bell. Griffith was also named the sole head writer. On August 15, 2013, it was speculated and reported by several online sources that Griffith had resigned as head-writer of the serial. Further speculation adds that Shelly Altman may take over as the new scribe, alongside Tracey Thomson or Jean Passanante may be brought aboard as co-head scribe. On September 12, 2013, it was announced that Passanante and Altman were named head writers of the show, with Thomson promoted to co-head writer.

On September 18, 2014, former All My Children, Santa Barbara and General Hospital head writer Charles Pratt Jr. was named as the new head writer of the show. Passanante, Altman and Thomson have been demoted to breakdown writers. Pratt was also named as co-executive producer sharing the credit with Phelps. On June 7, 2016, Serial Scoop announced that Phelps had been terminated from her position as executive producer; a replacement was not named at the time of their reporting. The following morning, Sony Pictures Television confirmed to several list of soap opera media outlets that Phelps had been let go from her position; British television producer Mal Young was announced as Phelps' replacement. Phelps' last appearance as executive producer was July 12, 2016, while Young's first appearance occurred the following day on July 13. On September 13, 2016, it was announced that Pratt was named as executive producer and show-runner of Lee Daniels' Star. The same day, Daytime Confidential revealed that former Generations and Days of Our Lives head writer Sally Sussman, who previously had positions with the show, such as Associate Head Writer, was in-talks to replace Pratt as Head Writer. On September 15, 2016, it was confirmed that Sussman was named as the soap's new head writer.

On September 21, 2016, Daytime Confidential reported that after ten years since leaving the soap, Alden had been re-hired to be a story consultant under Sussman's regime. Sussman's tenure as head writer began taping on October 20, 2016, and began airing on December 7, 2016. On June 20, 2017, CBS announced its decision to renew the serial for three years. On July 31, 2017, it was announced that both Alden and Sussman would retire from their positions; Young was named as Sussman's successor as head writer. Sussman last aired as head writer on October 24, 2017. Young's tenure as head writer aired on October 25, 2017. In December 2018, Young announced his decision to leave the serial, citing that it was a "good time to move on", and cited his desire to pursue his own project. Anthony Morina was announced as executive producer, while Griffith was named co-executive producer and head writer.

On January 30, 2020, CBS announced it had renewed the serial through 2024. In a statement, CBS Entertainment president Kelly Kahl stated: "It's a remarkable achievement and a testament to the extraordinary cast, gifted writers, talented producers and supremely passionate fans, as well as our tremendous partnership with [Y&R studio] Sony Pictures Television."

On March 20, 2020, after 32 years and over 1,500 consecutive weeks, The Young and the Restless was no longer the number-one soap opera in the United States, having been dethroned by The Bold and the Beautiful, which took 33 years since its 1987 debut to attain that position. The Young and the Restless then reclaimed the number-one spot the following week. On April 20, 2020, CBS announced plans to begin airing a week of vintage episodes, following the soap's shutdown, due to the COVID-19 pandemic; production on the soap would resume in the summer of 2020. On December 1 of the same year, the serial aired its 12,000th episode.

On August 19, 2021, it was reported that actress Briana Thomas had filed a lawsuit against Sony Pictures Television and CBS Studios, alleging sexual harassment on the set from showrunner Tony Morina.

On September 29, 2022, a day before the premiere of The Young and the Restless' 50th Season, the show announced that they would be producing showcasts, an audio form of the show's episodes. Episodes of the showcast will be available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, and Stitcher.

Production

Videotaping and broadcasting
Taped at CBS Television City, studios 41 and 43 in Hollywood since its debut on March 26, 1973, the show was packaged by the distribution company Columbia Pictures Television, which has now been replaced by Sony Pictures Television. The Young and the Restless originally aired as a half-hour series on CBS and was the first soap opera to focus on the visual aspects of production, creating "a look that broke with the visual conventions of the genre." Similar to the radio serials that had preceded them, soap operas at the time primarily focused on dialogue, characters, and story, with details like sets as secondary concerns. The Young and the Restless stood out by using unique lighting techniques and camera angles, similar to Hollywood-style productions. The style of videotaping included using out-of-the-ordinary camera angles and a large number of facial close-ups with bright lighting on the actors' faces. Conboy said he used lighting to create "artistic effects". Those effects made the series look dark, shadowy, and moody. The Young and the Restless look influenced the taping styles of other soap operas. When H. Wesley Kenney replaced Conboy as executive producer, he balanced the lighting of the scenes.

Due to the success of the series, CBS and its affiliates pressured Bell to lengthen the series from 30 minutes to a full hour. Bell attributed the show's fall from number one in the Nielsen ratings to this change, since the lengthening of the show led to the departure of a number of cast members. "The issue of performing in a one-hour show had not been part of their contracts," Bell said. This forced the show to recast multiple main characters and eventually phase out the original core families in favor of new ones.  The show expanded to one hour on February 4, 1980, replacing the long-running serial Love of Life.  On June 8, 1981, it moved to 12:30 p.m. Eastern, the slot occupied by Search for Tomorrow since its premiere in 1951, which ultimately led to the latter show moving to NBC after a disastrous experiment in another timeslot, alienating that program's loyal viewers. It airs 11:00 a.m. on most stations in the Central, Mountain and Pacific time zones, usually as a lead-in to the local noon news for most CBS stations outside the Eastern Time Zone (though some stations in the Central Time Zone opt to air it at 11:30 a.m.).

Exteriors used in the late 1980s and early 1990s (and reused years later) included locations in and around Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, including Allegheny General Hospital, One Oxford Centre, the Duquesne Club, Hampton Township, Allegheny County, Pennsylvania and the state correctional institution - Pittsburgh. Phillip Chancellor died in the Richland, Pennsylvania area, where the police chief was not told and believed the accident really happened.

On June 27, 2001, The Young and the Restless became the first daytime soap opera to be broadcast in high-definition. In September 2011, its sister soap The Bold and the Beautiful became the last soap to make the transition from Standard-definition television to High-definition television before One Life to Live ended its ABC run on January 13, 2012, and began its TOLN run online on April 29, 2013. On April 24, 2006, Soapnet began airing same-day episodes of the series. The final airing on SoapNet was on June 28, 2013. The soap has moved from SoapNet to TV Guide Network. The same day episodes begin airing on TVGN (now Pop) weeknights on July 1, 2013.

Casting and story development

Co-creators William J. Bell and Lee Phillip Bell centered The Young and the Restless around two core families, the wealthy Brooks' and the poor Fosters. Bell borrowed this technique of soap opera building from his mentor, Irna Phillips.

While casting for the series, Bell and executive producer John Conboy auditioned 540 actors for the 13 main characters. They assembled the youngest group of actors ever cast on a soap opera at the time, hiring mostly unknown actors whom they considered "glamorous model types". Chemistry between actors also factored into the criteria for casting. The stories focused on the younger characters, with an emphasis in fantasy. The fantasy element was reflected in the love story between Jill Foster and the millionaire Phillip Chancellor II; the Leslie Brooks, Brad Elliot, and Lorie Brooks love triangle; and Snapper Foster's romance with Chris Brooks.

Sexuality also played a major role in the stories. Formerly, soap operas did not delve into the sexual side of their romances. Bell changed that, first during his time as head writer of Days of Our Lives and again on The Young and the Restless. William Gray Espy's Snapper Foster is considered the "first to discover sex on a soap opera." During the story, the character is engaged to Chris Brooks (Trish Stewart) and having a sexual relationship with Sally McGuire (Lee Crawford). Other plots reflected sexual themes as well. For the first time in the genre, the dialogue and the story situations included explicit sexual themes such as premarital intercourse, impotence, incest, and rape. The first two rape storylines that would be told on the serial were controversial at the time as they reflected a more introspective and analytic storytelling style, the first time rape storylines would be addressed in this manner in the genre. The first, in 1973–74, revolved around the rape of Chris Brooks and the aftermath, in which she entertained (and, eventually, rejected) the idea that she was perhaps at fault for her attack. The second, in 1976, involved Chris's sister Peggy (Pamela Peters Solow) and was meant to serve as a cut-and-dried story in which no viewer could justify this attack, committed out of the blue by an authority figure.

The series also explored social issues. Jennifer Brooks underwent the first mastectomy on a soap opera. Other social issue storylines included bulimia, alcoholism, and cancer. Lesbianism was also touched on with Katherine Chancellor, who flirts with Jill while drunk in 1974 and has a brief relationship with Joann Curtis (Kay Heberle) in 1977.

When the series lengthened from a half-hour to an hour in 1980, multiple cast members who portrayed characters from the original core families departed because their contracts only bound them to performing in a half-hour show. A number of the characters were recast until one of the few remaining original actors, Jaime Lyn Bauer, who portrayed Lorie Brooks, decided to leave. When she announced her intention not to renew her contract, Bell decided to replace the original core families. "As I studied the remaining cast, I realized I had two characters- Paul Williams, played by Doug Davidson, and Jack Abbott, played by Terry Lester- both of whom had a relatively insignificant presence on the show," Bell said. "They didn't have families. Hell, they didn't even have bedrooms. But these became the two characters I would build our two families around."

The characters from the Abbott and Williams families were integrated into the series while the Brooks and Foster families, with the exception of Jill, were phased out. The continuity of the feud between Jill and Katherine, which began in the early years of the show, smoothed the transition. The relationship between the two characters remained a central theme throughout the series and became the longest lasting rivalry in daytime history.

Another character introduced in the 1980s was Eric Braeden's Victor Newman. Originally, the character was "a despicable, contemptible, unfaithful wife abuser" who was intended to be killed off. Braeden's tenure on the show was meant to last between eight and twelve weeks. "When I saw Eric Braeden's first performance- the voice, the power, the inner strength- I knew immediately that I didn't want to lose this man," Bell said. "He was exactly what the show needed. Not the hateful man we saw on-screen, but the man he could and would become." Bell rewrote the story to save the character and put Braeden on contract. Victor's romance with Nikki Reed became a prominent plot in the series.

With the success of another iconic character, Kimberlin Brown's Sheila Carter, Bell successfully crossed her over from The Young and the Restless to his second soap, The Bold and the Beautiful, in 1992. The success of the crossover was due to the creativity of Bell, as the nefarious character of Sheila was presumed to have died in a fire on The Young and the Restless.

In the 1990s, core black characters were introduced with the Barber and Winters families. Victoria Rowell (Drucilla Barber) and Tonya Williams (Olivia Winters) were cast as the nieces of the Abbott's maid, Mamie Johnson, in 1990. The brothers Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John) and Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) were introduced as love interests for Olivia and Drucilla. The Young and the Restless became popular among black viewers, which Williams and St. John attributed to the writing for the black characters. "I play a CEO at a major corporation, that's something we don't see that often," St. John said. "And the show doesn't use the old African-American stereotypes that we have been seeing on TV, like the hustler, the pimp, the drug dealer. We have come a long way." Though the characters held prominent positions in the fictional work place of Genoa City, they had little interaction with other characters outside of their jobs.

|-
| H. Wesley Kenney || 1982–1986 || Guided the show with more action-driven story direction inspired in large part by the more action oriented soap General Hospital which was a ratings smash at the time. The change to more action storylines are believed to be what helped the show win Daytime Emmy Award in 1983, 1985 and 1986. Began crediting the show's cast in alphabetical order, a standard that remains to this date. Ceased the fade to next scene transition effect within the show's episodes.

The Bell Dramatic Serial Co. production logo began appearing with end credits under his run. He managed to score brief returns by veteran actors such as Jaime Lyn Bauer, William Gray Espy, Meg Bennett and James Houghton (who wrote on the show between 1991 and 2006), all of whom who left the show back in the 1970s and 1980s, for brief storylines in 2002 and 2003. Debuted "next episode" preview scenes in 2003, a practice started with the ABC soaps in 1998.

Promoted to head writer with Kay Alden and Smith in February 2006, then promoted to executive producer, becoming the show's first female EP in October 2006, after the show went that summer without an EP. Tenure as EP/HW was criticized by viewers and insiders for damaging the show's history with out-of-text writing, firing several longtime cast and crew members in favor of several unknowns, and doing too much favoritism. She was fired when she abandoned her post as EP to go on strike for the 2007–08 Writers Guide of America strike.
|-
| Josh Griffith || 2006–2008 || Brought on by Lynn Marie Latham as her co-executive producer in 2006. Assumed full producer duties in December 2007, when Latham was fired.

Bell brought along veteran producer Paul Rauch to help her with the production of the show while she mostly focused on the stories. She was known for steering away from character-driven storylines in favor of plot-driven ones, which was criticized. From 2008 to 2010, she was credited as co-executive producer as well as Rauch, while her credit appeared first. Bell was let go in July 2012; an official reason was never given for her departure, however many sources speculate it was due to the controversial pairing of characters Sharon Newman and Victor Newman (Sharon Case and Eric Braeden). One of the final milestones to happen under Bell's regime was the celebration of the 10,000th episode.

In Jamaica, the show formerly aired on CVMTV.

In Trinidad and Tobago, the show airs weekdays on CBS and has been airing in Trinidad and Tobago since the 1980s. In 1988, 70 percent of Trinidadians and Tobagonians who had access to a television watched daily episodes of The Young and the Restless, a series that emphasized family problems, sexual intrigue, and gossip.

 Oceania

In Australia, The Young and the Restless airs after Days of Our Lives on Arena. It previously aired on the Nine Network from April 1, 1974, to February 23, 2007, before joining the W lineup from April 2, 2007, to August 17, 2012. On July 20, 2012, it was announced that the show would move to Arena on August 20 that year after W rebranded as SoHo. Episodes are approximately one week behind those airing in the US at present.

In New Zealand, The Young and the Restless aired alongside Days of Our Lives on TVNZ 1 from August 25, 1975, to November 6, 2009.  The soap was approximately four seasons behind the CBS season due to being preempted by holiday and sporting programming.

 Europe
In the United Kingdom, The Young and The Restless has aired on many TV channels starting in 1990, when episodes from 1987 debuted on Galaxy in a regular weekday timeslot, 14:30-15:30 (and repeated in the early hours of the following morning). When BSB merged with Sky in November 1990 to form BskyB, the soap moved to Sky's flagship channel Sky One and aired at 11:00-12:00 weekdays until the end of 1992. When BskyB's original three-year contract to air the soap expired, Sky chose not to renew it. In 1993, Y&R was picked up by satellite channel, UK Living (then known as simply Living, now Sky Witness) in a primetime timeslot 20:00-21:00, picking up where Sky left off. This lasted until late 1995.  In 2007, Zone Romantica, now CBS Drama, began broadcasting the show weekdays [four years behind US]. In 2009, when CBS went into partnership with and took over the Chellozone Channels the show was relegated to just one showing a day [in favor of repeating shows such as Dynasty and Dallas in the daytime]. It was attracting around 18–20,000 viewers at midnight in the last week of its broadcast in the UK in August 2010.

In France, the show airs as  on free-to-air channel TF1.

Theme music and other music

"Nadia's Theme" has been the theme music of The Young and the Restless since the show's debut in 1973. The melody, originally titled "Cotton's Dream", was composed by Barry De Vorzon and Perry Botkin Jr.  for the 1971 theatrical film Bless the Beasts and Children. The melody was later renamed "Nadia's Theme" after the American Broadcasting Company television network's sports summary program Wide World of Sports lent the music for a montage of Romanian gymnast Nadia Comăneci's routines during the 1976 Summer Olympics; despite the title, Nadia never performed her floor exercises using this piece of music. Instead, she used a piano arrangement of a medley of the songs "Yes Sir, That's My Baby" and "Jump in the Line".

Botkin wrote a rearranged version of the piece specifically for The Young and the Restless''' debut. The song remained unchanged, save for a slight remix in 1988 and a three-year stint in the early 2000s, when an alternate, more jazzy arrangement of that tune was used, using portions of the longer closing version of the original theme.

An LP album was published in 1976 by A&M Records. The track list contains two titles of the French composer Michel Colombier, Rainbow and Emmanuel, a success track which he wrote in memory of the death of his son.

In late September and early October 2012, upon the show's 10,000th episode, the current form of opening credits were updated. In the years prior, fans criticized them for their lack of updates and cast additions (some contract players, such as Adrienne Frantz, and Kimberlin Brown came and went without being added).

In mid-February 2017, the current form of opening credits were updated to honor the history on CBS Daytime and to carry them into the future as they approach the 44th anniversary.

RatingsThe Young and the Restless entered CBS' daytime lineup at 12 noon/11 a.m. Central in March 1973, a timeslot where two popular game shows, NBC's Jeopardy! (original version, hosted by Art Fleming) and ABC's Password (revival of the 1960s hit with Allen Ludden as host), vied for the top spot in the ratings. Quite a number of CBS affiliates in the Eastern Time Zone had for years been running local newscasts at noon, despite CBS giving them a 30-minute break one hour later, at 1 p.m., for that purpose.

With that scenario, at first, The Young and the Restless was at the bottom of the ratings, inheriting Where the Heart Is low numbers and affiliate clearances. However, the youthful and sexually-driven storylines, which appealed perfectly to CBS' desired key demographic of younger women, helped it to rise rapidly, surging to ninth by 1974–75 and third by 1975–76. This eventually led to both Jeopardy!'s and Password's cancellations during 1975; a succession of shows (of varying formats) on both networks failed to make any significant impact for the next five years, other than perhaps ABC's The $20,000 Pyramid, which aired at noon/11 from 1978 to 1980. Apart from a dip to sixth in 1980-81 (its first full season at a full hour, when the first half went against ABC's then-top-rated Family Feud in the Central Time Zone or the second half against the first part of All My Children in the Eastern), it has been one of the five highest-rated soaps since the 1975–76 season. After Feud's decline beginning in 1984 (it would be canceled the next year) and the eventual plateauing of AMC and NBC's Days of Our Lives, the latter of which did undergo a brief resurgence in the mid-1980s, Y&R widened the ratings lead to the point where ABC and NBC never caught up again, both eventually ceding the Noon/11 time slot back to their local stations by the 1990s. By 1988–89 it had dethroned long-time leader General Hospital as the top-rated soap, a position it held until 2020. In 2010, it marked its 1,000th consecutive week n the #1 spot for daytime dramas. During the week of December 2, 2013, the series celebrated its 25th consecutive year as the number one daytime drama. The Young and the Restless airs every weeknight on Pop, where it averaged 362,000 viewers from July to September 2013.

On the week ending April 6, 2012, The Young and the Restless was watched by a new low of an average of 3,960,000 viewers for the week, beating its previous low of 4.209 million in October 2011, as well as being the only week to date below 4 million viewers. Currently, the show is still the most-watched daytime drama; and for the season 2011–12, has a household rating of 3.5, and 1.5 for the Women 18–49 demographic. As of 2008, the Tuesday episodes of The Young and the Restless on average is the most-watched daytime drama showing.

Ratings history

 (debut)
 Tied in rating (8.1) with General Hospital; however General Hospital drew more viewers in millions.
 The Young and the Restless was number-one solo (for the first time) for the 1988–89 and retained this position until 2020.

Q: Prove of divisibility of a sum of consecutive numbers from i to j by n with $1 \leq i \leq j \leq n$ I have this algebra problem that I can't work out.

Let $a_1, a_2, a_3, ..., a_n$ be integers. Prove that there exists indexes $i, j$ with $1 \leq i \leq j \leq n $ such that $\sum_{k=i}^{j}a_k$ is divisible by $n$.

I started to look at all possible remainders like this:
Let $x$ be the sum from $i$ to $j$ and $r_l$ the remainders of x (with $l$ from $0$ to $x-1$). I can always find a combination of $j$ and $r_k$ that will divide $x$. So:
$x+j+r_k \equiv 0\ (j+r_k)$
But I can't get passed beyond this intuition, any hints or suggestions are welcome, thanks!

A: Let $S_j = \displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^j a_i$, $1 \leq j \leq n$.  There are $n$ of these sums, and the number of possible remainders on division by $n$ is $n$.
Hence, one of these two must happen:
1) One of the $S_j$ is divisible by $n$ in which case we are done.
2) If no $S_j$ leaves a remainder of $0$, then there are only $n-1$ possible remainders for $S_j$ to take. Hence, by pigenhole principle, some $S_j$ and $S_k$ leave the same remainder when divided by $n$. Then, $S_j - S_k = \displaystyle\sum_{l=k}^j a_l$ is divisible by $n$, hence   we are done.
Either way, we are done.

EDIT : As suggested in the comments, we note that given $k \geq n$ integers, by repeating the above argument and noting that there are at least $k$ (instead of $n$) numbers $S_l = \sum_{i=1}^l a_i$ now, definitely two of them have the same remainder upon division by $n$, so the result follows.
However, for $k < n$,  it is possible to construct $a_1,...,a_k$ such that $\sum_{i=j}^k a_i$ is not divisible by $n$ for any $j,k$. Indeed, simply take $a_i = 1$ for all $i$, in which case any such sum is strictly between $0$ and $n$, and hence cannot be a multiple of $n$.
This proves the following statement :

Given $k,n \in \mathbb N$, the following are equivalent :

*

*for every $k$ integers $a_1,...,a_k$  there exist $1 \leq j \leq l \leq k$ such that $n$ divides $\sum_{x=j}^l a_x$.

*$k \geq n$.

Sarah and Ceri travelled to Uganda earlier this month to attend a wedding of a colleague from the hospital. They took the opportunity to spend a week at the hospital. It was wonderful to see many friends and colleagues again. It provided a useful time to meet with the hospital communications and fundraising team to discuss how the charity and the hospital can work effectively together. The Memorandum of Understanding was signed by Dr Birungi, the executive director, and Sarah, the chair of trustees. We look forward to a long and happy relationship!

Motorcycle Riding in Southwest USA
Leave a Comment	/ Adventures and Road Trips / By admin
One of the advantages of working at a motorcycle shipping company is that there are a lot of like-minded people around with similar interests and hobbies. Quite a few of us ride bikes and spend a fair amount of time on the weekends exploring new locations and routes to nearby places. Being in southern California, there is a wide geographic variety close by. One weekend we can do a ride up the coast. hugging the Pacific Ocean and the very next weekend go on a trip into the desert. It's usually a last minute thing that we can arrange really easily without too much preparation.
But this weekend we did something completely different. Well not completely! It still involved a bike trip to Vegas, but our destination was not the bright lights and casinos of the infamous strip. It was the playing fields of the Sam Boyd stadium to watch the Rugby Sevens tournament. Now this was something completely new for my buddies. Most of them had never even heard of rugby, never mind see a match. This was a unique opportunity for me to introduce my friends to a sport and culture that I grew up with as a kid in South Africa.
Rugby Sevens is a watered down version of the original Rugby Union game that consist of 15 players per team. It is a hard-hitting; fast sport that does not stop for 40 minutes per half. The 2013-2014 HSBC Sevens World Series has been developed as a worldwide travelling tournament and includes stops in Dubai, South Africa, New Zealand, Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Australia, England and Scotland. The teams have reduced their number of players from 15 to 7 and shortened the game from 40 minutes per half to 7. Sixteen nations compete in this three-day tournament. Fans from all over the world convene in one place to support their respective countries'. What a great way to introduce my friends and coworkers to this unique tradition.
I managed to rally six of us for the trip. We left on Thursday from San Diego. Now to be honest, the route to Vegas is not one of the most exciting and stimulating. There really are not many different roads you can take or side trips along the way. But this trip, strangely enough was not about the journey, but the destination. You know what they say; "A bad day on the road is better than a good day at work". So it was sticking to the main highways and regular routes for us. But uneventful it was not! The first surprise was at our pit stop in Barstow. No road trip to Vegas is complete without a stop at the legendary Barstow McDonalds train station. Mickey D's have taken a few rail carriages and converted them into a regular burger place and standard American kitsch tourist trap. But this was not the attraction today.
It seems we were not the only ones with the idea of heading out to the tournament. The tailgate party started early and 150 miles away from the location. The parking lot was filled with fans heading out from California. And I'm not talking your regular run of the mill fans, I'm talking rugby supporters from Fiji, Samoa, New Zealand, South Africa among many other countries. Most of them were wearing the colors of their nations jersey. The parking lot was already a festive place with great friendly banter between the folks ready for a good spirited weekend of sport, fun, food and revelry. My friends were wide-eyed and smiling. They know they were in for a good time. There were another group of bikers from Los Angeles who had the same intentions and so we continued our ride up to sin city now 15 strong, enough for a full rugby team.
I had us booked into the Monte Carlo hotel, which was an official tournament hotel, so I knew the festivities would be on par. I really wasn't expecting what greeted us. Rugby really does not have a huge following in the States. Well that's what I thought. The hotel was filled with people from all over the world, all with the same intention. To support their team, share in some fun and end the weekend as the treasured victors of the tournament. This was a family event, so the age range was from school kids to grandparents. It was now early evening, so we checked into our rooms and really took it easy for the evening, since it was a long ride and we were not up for a big night yet.
This event was really well organized. They had shuttle buses running every thirty minutes between the hotel and the stadium on the campus of the University of Las Vegas. After our standard buffet breakfast we boarded the bus at about noon to begin the days festivities. If the hotel was an eye opener, the stadium was a jaw dropper. The parking lot was like an international food bazaar. Every one of the 16 nations food was represented at one or more booths. Fans were covered from head to toe in their national colors. I was amazed at how creative some of these fans can be, or should I say crazy? Some were covered in complete body paint. It must have taken hours to prepare. A lot of the Pacific Islander nation's had their traditional tattoos all over their bodies. And when I say all over their body, I mean their faces too. Some of these guys look frightening in their traditional garb. There was a stage with performers from all over the world as well as local artists. I felt I was at the Coachella of rugby. But what impressed me the most about this event, was that even though this was a competition for the ultimate prize of being the best team at the event, the rivalry and banter was always in good spirit and fun. I never felt that things would get out of hand and supporters would take it to an unpleasant level.
Once we had fed our faces with delectable delights from all over the world we headed to our seats. So far my friends had been having an amazing time. The trip had exceeded their expectations already, but entering into the playing field was another new experience. Each country had booked their own blocks in the stadium, so upon entering the seating it looked like a collage of colors alive. Each country's supporters were chanting their own support songs, waving their flags and showing unwavering support, even when their own team wasn't playing. The cacophony from the crowd was inspiring and uplifting. I can imagine a player on the field being motivated by such support. The seven a side rugby match is a fast paced, non-stop battle between fit warriors on a mission. The rules are pretty simple. The offensive team has to get the ball from one end of the field to the other by passing it backwards. The defensive team has to stop them. It's a high pressure, physically challenging sport, that does not stop from the minute it starts to the second it ends. Oftentimes a far more talented side overruns a team and other times it is a very close match without much between the two sides. There always seems to be an underdog that topples the giants and makes it into the final rounds. After three days, my friends had become avid fans, learning the rules, players and choosing favorites. Unfortunately, the teams they had chosen did not win the tournament. That prestigious crown went to me and my favored South African team called the Springboks.
We left the event feeling spent, satisfied, excited and committing to return next year to do it all over again. Hopefully with a bigger group.

He played Gunther on the hit series and provided some of its driest and sharpest humor.
And James Michael Tyler revealed this week that it was his decision not to attend the recent Friends reunion special in person, but not due to covid concerns.
The actor, 59, revealed the sad news of his stage IV prostate cancer diagnosis on the Today Show on Monday, which was the primary reason he chose to dial in via Zoom for the HBO Max special.

'[The plan was] to be on the stage, at least, with them, and be able to take part in all the festivities,' Tyler shared.
But due to his battle with cancer, which he revealed has left him paralyzed from the waist down, that plan was unfortunately scrapped.
'It was my decision not to be a part of that physically and make an appearance on Zoom, basically, because I didn't wanna bring a downer on it, you know?' the actor said.
'I didn't want to be like, "Oh, and by the way, Gunther has cancer."'

During the segment, James shared that he first became aware of his diagnosis in September 2018.
He added that the reunion, which took place with all six primary Friends cast members late last month, was for him 'bittersweet, honestly. I was very happy to be included.'
Tyler also mentioned that the producers of the show have been aware of his diagnosis 'for a long time,' while the cast – Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt Le Blanc, David Schwimmer and Matthew Perry – know of his condition 'at this point'.
