ARLINGTON, Va., March 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thirty of the 71 living Medal of Honor Recipients commemorated National Medal of Honor Day with a wreath-laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery today. Afterwards, the Recipients presented their 2018 Citizen Honors Awards to six outstanding Americans; 4 individual awards and two people representing the Veterans Heritage Project (VHP).
Since 2008, the Medal of Honor Recipients have presented their Citizen Honors Awards to Americans who through their courage and service reflect the values of the Medal of Honor. The Citizen Honors Awards were presented at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall with the generous support of The Boeing Company.
Robert Engle of La Vergne, Tennessee, was selected for his courageous act on September 23, 2017, when he subdued a gunman inside Burnette Chapel Church of Christ. Engle's actions prevented further loss of life in the deadly shooting.
Matthew Cobos, of Trabuco Canyon, California, was selected for his courageous act on October 1, 2017, when he shielded and provided life-saving medical treatment to concertgoers injured in a mass shooting during the Route 91 Harvest music festival on the Las Vegas strip in Nevada.
Kimberly Scofi of Marietta, Georgia, was selected for her selfless service in support of veterans through her work with United Military Care and other veterans-based service organizations.
Virgil Smith of Hitchcock, Texas, was selected for the Citizen Honors Young Hero Award for his courage in assisting several neighbors stranded during Hurricane Harvey. Before emergency professionals arrived, Smith used an air mattress to rescue 17 neighbors trapped in their homes due to high water.
Veterans Heritage Project of Phoenix, Arizona, was selected for the Citizen Honors Community Service Hero Award for its innovative after-school course for middle and high school students that provides them with an enriched educational experience by connecting them with US military veterans in a nationally renowned oral history and publication program. As a result, thousands of veterans' oral histories have been donated to the Library of Congress.
Through the Citizen Honors Awards, Medal of Honor Recipients educate and inspire Americans to embody the values in the Medal of Honor; courage and sacrifice, commitment and integrity, citizenship and patriotism.
The Medal of Honor is the Nation's highest military honor, presented to Recipients for valor above and beyond the call of duty in combat. The Medal was signed into law by President Lincoln in 1861. Since then, only 3,498 members of the military have been awarded the Medal of Honor.
For more information about the Citizen Honors Awards or the Medal of Honor and its Recipients, visit the Co\ngressional Medal of Honor Foundation website at http://themedalofhonor.com.
The Congressional Medal of Honor Society was chartered by the Congress in 1958 to create a brotherhood among the living Medal of Honor Recipients, to protect and uphold the dignity and honor of the Medal, to promote patriotism and love of country, and to inspire our youth to become worthy and dedicated citizens of our nation. Its membership consists exclusively of those individuals who have received the Medal of Honor. Today, there are 71 living Recipients of the Medal of Honor. The Society is unique in that its membership hopes that there will be no need to welcome new inductees because the Medal is only awarded for action against a hostile force in time of war.
The Congressional Medal of Honor Foundation was founded in 1999 by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society to perpetuate the legacy of the Medal. Through character development, scholarship and citizen recognition programs based on the values embodied in the Medal — courage, sacrifice, selfless service and patriotism — the Foundation teaches all citizens that they can make a difference in the lives of others. The Foundation also supports the important work of the Congressional Medal of Honor Society. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with Tax ID #25-1828488, the Foundation carries a rating of 4/4 stars for fiscal management, accountability and transparency from Charity Navigator, America's premiere nonprofit evaluator.

Global ecomomic concerns doesn't stop Mercedes-Benz from record breaking UK vehicle orders.
by Editorial TeamPublished 10 April 2012 Updated 14 November 2019
March 2012 completed a record-breaking quarterly performance for Mercedes-Benz in the UK, with the company reporting its best-ever new car registrations over a three-month period.
According to figures released today by SMMT, Mercedes-Benz registered 16,166 new cars in March, an increase of 10.2 per cent over the same month in 2011. The first quarter saw 25,348 new Mercedes taking to the road, a rise of 12.7 per cent, and giving a market share of 4.5 per cent – another record.
Year to date (YTD), over 30 per cent more private customers registered a new Mercedes-Benz car – making a total of 9171. Fleet business improved 22 per cent to 10,435 new vehicles. Quarterly highlights included strong performances for the C-Class Coupé (2571 registrations); the SLK Roadster (1597 new cars); E-Class Saloon (3543 cars, an increase of 8.1 per cent); and a 57 per cent rise in new AMG registrations. The New B-Class has started strongly, with 1190 new cars registered in its first month on sale.
Marcus Breitschwerdt, President and CEO Mercedes-Benz UK Ltd, commented: "The achievement of our entire UK team is remarkable – this isn't just a record first quarter for passenger cars; it's the best-ever quarterly result in our history. This is testament to the fact that UK customers, whether private purchases, or fleets buying for business, are deciding that a new Mercedes-Benz is the right choice for them. Our Financial Services division is providing these customers with competitive finance packages too, making a new Mercedes an affordable alternative to a more mainstream choice."
Marcus continued: "Starting the year on the right foot gives us a solid foundation and the right momentum going forward into the year – the market conditions are tough, but proving to be successful for us, and at Mercedes-Benz UK's head office and in showrooms around the UK, we're all signed-up to ensure we deliver the best levels of service and support to our new and returning customers. This solid foundation needs building upon, and we've now got sales momentum to continue delivering great results as we move forward throughout 2012.
"There has been an extremely positive press reaction to the stunning New A-Class at the Geneva Motor Show, which makes its UK arrival before Christmas and is our most anticipated new car launch this year. And now the magnificent reaction on the launch of our all new B-Class and our all new ML SUV show the impressive strength of our product."

Inspired by Arthur Ashe's bestselling memoir Days of Grace, a collection of positive, uplifting stories of seemingly small acts of grace from across the sports world that have helped to bridge cultural and racial divides. Like many people of color, James Blake has experienced the effects of racism firsthand—publicly—first at the U.S. Open, and then in front of his hotel on a busy Manhattan street, where he was tackled and handcuffed by a police officer in a case of "mistaken identity." Though rage would have been justified, Blake faced both incidents with dignity and aplomb. In Ways of Grace he reflects on his experiences and explores those of other sports stars and public figures who have not only overcome adversity, but have used them to unite rather than divide, including: Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi, a Pakistani Muslim and Amir Hadad, an Israeli Jew, who despite the conflicts of their countries, paired together in the 2002 Wimbledon men's doubles draw. Muhammad Ali, who transcended racism with a magnetic personality and a breathtaking mastery of boxing that was unparalleled. Nelson Mandela, who spent twenty-seven years in prison for his commitment to social reform, peace, and equality yet never gave up his battle to end apartheid—a struggle that led to his eventual freedom and his nation's transition to black majority rule. Groundbreaking tennis legend Arthur Ashe, who was a model of courage, elegance, and poise on the court and off; a gifted player who triumphed in the all-white world of professional tennis, and became one of his generation's greatest players. Weaving together these and other poignant and unforgettable stories, Blake reveals how, through seemingly small acts of grace, we can confront hatred, bigotry, and injustice with virtue—and use it to propel ourselves to greater heights.
"Before Kaepernick, there was Etan Thomas." --New York Times "In We Matter, Thomas strives to show the influence professional athletes can have when they join the conversation on race, politics, and civil rights. Thomas conducted 50 interviews, which included Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Laila Ali, Michael Bennett, and Eric Reid, among many other athletes, as well as journalists, television personalities, and family members of unarmed black men who were shot and killed. Thomas also explored his ties with the Wizards and spoke with John Wall, Bradley Beal, and current majority team owner Ted Leonsis." --Washington Post "The honest conversations, published in transcript form and often accompanied by black-and-white photos, serve as a primer on recent police violence cases, a history lesson on the first athletes who stood up for racial injustice, an examination of the experience of being young and black in the United States, and an insightful look at how it feels to lose a loved one to tragedy, from contributors such as Jemele Hill, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Carmelo Anthony...An important read, executed uniquely." --School Library Journal, STARRED review "In his new book, We Matter: Athletes and Activism, Thomas tirelessly interviews a range of people from NBA icons to the families of crime victims to illustrate the importance of athletes using their voice for more than just sports." --Athletes Quarterly "Thomas interviews athletes, coaches, and sports personalities as he covers topics related to activism from the sporting realm and how it is perceived in America. A necessary read." --Library Journal, A Best Book of 2018 "A former NBA player and current activist and MSNBC commentator returns with a collection of dozens of interviews on the subject of race in America--all supporting the efforts of athletes to speak out and up...Voices of pain, anger, and hope resound through these pages--and through the reader's heart." --Kirkus Reviews Featuring interviews by former NBA player Etan Thomas with over fifty athletes, executives, media figures, and more--and interwoven with essays and critiques by Thomas--We Matter shares the personal tales and opinions of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, Dwyane Wade, Russell Westbrook, Steve Kerr, Oscar Robertson, Mark Cuban, Michael Bennett, Carmelo Anthony, Derrick Rose, Swin Cash, Alonzo Mourning, Chris Webber, Jemele Hill, Anquan Boldin, Jamal Crawford, Juwan Howard, Ray Jackson, Shannon Sharpe, James Blake, John Carlos, Laila Ali, Michael Eric Dyson, Joakim Noah, Eric Reid, Adam Silver, Soledad O'Brien, John Wall, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Bradley Beal, Tamika Catchings, Curtis Conway, Harry Edwards, Chris Hayes, Chamique Holdsclaw, Scoop Jackson, Bomani Johnes, Shaun King, Jimmy King, Ted Leonsis, Thabo Sefolosha, Ilyasah Shabazz, Torrey Smith, Kenny Smith, Michael Smith, David West, Michael Wilbon, Jahvaris Fulton (brother of Trayvon Martin), Emerald Snipes (daughter of Eric Garner), Allysza Castile (sister of Philando Castile), Valerie Castile (mother of Philando Castile), and Dr. Tiffany Crutcher (sister of Terence Crutcher). This volume will be an inspiration for many different people: sports junkies; young readers who need words of encouragement from their favorite athletes; parents seeking positive messages for their children; activists who want to hear athletes using their voices to address social justice; and schools that need motivational material for their students.
Politics and Protest in Sports covers the history of athletes of color using their position on the national stage to fight racism and injustice.

Discussion in '2nd Generation: 2007+ R55 through R61' started by Wajulia, Dec 14, 2018.
Hi. I'm new to the Forum and I'm new to minis. I just picked up a a 2008 R56. Before I got it inspected I decided to rebuild the the front suspension so far I've replace the struts in the strut Tower bearings. Now I'm trying to get to the front bushings. I remove the lower control arms and lowered the subframe to get to the rear bolt on the bushing bracket. I used the procedure that I found on this website listed below.
The subframe has dropped in the back by about 1 to 2 in. That doesn't seem to be enough to get that last bolt out of the bushing bracket.
How close are to coming out? Are they close enough that you can pry down on the sub frame to fifths getting them out?
Sorry out of town or I would take a look at the Bentley manual.
I left the two front bolts loose in the frame if I take them out can j lower the whole subframe down?
Don't fret...there are a lot of Gen 2 people here but they must be Christmas shopping tonight. That said, help WILL appear...of that I am sure because we have a lot of members here who have done extensive work on their MINIs [unfortunately, though, I am not one of them and besides, I have Gen 1 MINIs].
Good luck and welcome again!
You may be able to lower it some. See if this helps.
Great to hear! Now we can help you with Mods!
Glad to hear you were able to get them out. Any suggestions for the next person? I.e. how you did it?
What an epic. Took me about 3 hours to lower the subframe another three hours to get the last two hidden bolts out, than about 3 hours to put the whole thing back together again . But it is done, new poly bushing and all new ball joints.

The kitchen is arguably the most important room of a residence. It needs to, therefore, be handled well when it comes time to remodel. You need a great remodeling services provider on sire to oversee the exercise.
There are many kitchen remodeling agencies, each with its array of ideas and techniques for handling such a job. The best are the ones who focus on the client's needs, lifestyle and financial situation. This is the best way to make a kitchen unique to a homeowner. You need to think of certain things when you go hiring a kitchen remodeler.
You cannot go hiring a kitchen remodeler before looking at what license they have. The process of certifying them has tests they need to pass. This is how you know they are specialized in what they promise to do for your kitchen. The internet is a great tool when you need to have more details of such qualifications. They should be willing to offer you references when you ask.
You need to also know how much it will cost you. Remodeling exercises usually get postponed since their costs are not easy to bear. You can make the most of these costs when you have a professional on-site to maximize your returns. Since they only deal with high-quality materials; your kitchen will be the best it can.
It is important to remember who the kitchen belongs to. Let them know exactly what your ideas and expectations are. Monitor each stage to ensure that they are executed as discussed. Your color scheme, flooring, and such details need to be respected. Any new thing they do needs to be in line with your theme throughout.

Q: PHP don't return number by jquery ajax I was unable to solve this problem and I really have no idea what I'm doing wrong
I got a php file called getTotalProtocoloByFilter.php
<?php
      require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/../datos/ConexionMSSQL.class.php');

      try {
        $conexionMSSQL = ConexionMSSQL::getInstance();

        $query="SELECT count(1) AS total FROM protocolos_web_new WHERE tipo = ".$_POST['tipo'];

        $conexionMSSQL->abrir('INGCER_BD');
        $result = $conexionMSSQL->consulta($query);
        $conexionMSSQL->cerrar();
        $total=new stdClass();

        while ($row = mssql_fetch_object($result)) {
          echo json_encode($row->total);
        }

      } catch (Exception $e) {
        error_log($e->getMessage());
      }
?>

And a js function:
var getTotalProtocolosByFilter = function(filter){
  total=0;
  $.ajax({
    url: '/protected/functions/getTotalProtocolosByFilter.php',
    type: 'POST',
    async:false,
    dataType: 'json',
    data: filter,
    success: function(response){
      total=response;
    }
  })
  .done(function() {
    console.log("success");
  })
  .fail(function() {
    console.log("error");
  })
  .always(function() {
    console.log("complete");
  });
  return total;
}// fin getTotalProtocolosByFilter

And I don't get nothing on ajax response, but if I change echo json_encode($row->total); by echo json_encode("".$row->total);
I got:
0:"1"
1:"4"
2:"2"

On top number echo, bottom string echo
Thanks

8:30 AM Wednesday, April 6, 2005: When a company does everything it says it will -- including introducing new products, boosting sales and becoming profitable -- and the stock still craters, you've got to wonder. The company is TriPath Imaging (TPTH).
I have an inviolate rule -- 15% down and I sell. I have violated this rule with only one stock -- TriPath Imaging (TPTH). So far, I've been wrong. Grossly wrong. Yesterday it became truly painful. I called around -- analysts, big stockholders and management. My findings: No internal business reason for the decline. No heavy selling of the stock. Volume has been light. Just basic Wall Street disinterest. One large stockholder called it "Small cap hell." He explained, "If TriPath were a private company, We'd all be very pleased with the business's progress. We wouldn't see the daily gyrations in the stock. We'd be happy."
The only complaint I found: "They don't do enough to promote the stock." In explanation, "Companies shouldn't be run by engineers or doctors." I spoke to management about this. They've tried a multitude of public relations strategies. They're willing to try more. I offered to help. They actually seemed interested. They pointed out that the 10-K annual report they filed last week is extensive -- it is -- and discusses the business in great detail, which it does. It tells more about the business than most 10-Ks of most companies do. This is to their credit. The management put a lot of work into this document.
Best of all, financials are strong. Sales are up strongly. Margins are up. R&D is up. TriPath is profitable. They're winning new contracts. I like the management. I like what they're doing. Frankly, I think TriPath is a bargain at these depressed prices -- but if you "read" the chart, the stock could fall further. I don't like catching falling knives.
You can read the 10-K yourself: Click here. I'm personally staying with this one, though right now I look (and feel) like a total idiot.
1. 11/9/89. The fall of the Berlin Wall.
2. 8/9/95. Netscape goes public. Introduction of the browser, which made the Internet useful for us all.
3. Work flow software. Have your application talk to mine.
5. Outsourcing. Getting China to make your goods.
6. Offshoring. When a company takes one of its factories operating in Canton, Ohio and moves the whole factory offshore to Canton, China.
7. Supply-chaining. Organizing to get goods from everywhere to where they're meant to be, e.g. what Wal-Mart does so well.
8. Insourcing. One company taking over the integral tasks of another. UPS is the example Friedman mentions. It repairs Toshiba laptops. Toshiba no longer does.
9. In-forming. Google, Yahoo!, MSN web search, etc.
10. The Steroids. Digital, mobile, personal and virtual. Technology to do all it from anywhere wirelessly.
Friedman is an optimist. This new book (it was released yesterday) paints a strongly optimistic and positive picture for what's happening businesswise in our world. The best news, to my mind, is that companies which are part of each other's global supply chain don't mess with each other politically. There's too much at stake.
Jim Cramer made millions for himself and his investors with the hedge fund he and his wife founded and ran for many years. This is his first book which attempts to discuss how he actually made the money. He talks about the art of investing, his stockpicking rules, his use of options, etc. He explains "throughout this book, I tell you things your brokers don't want you to know and your financial advisors are praying you never find out about how Wall Street really works."
Both Cramer and Friedman have gigantic egos, enormous drive and great discipline. Their books are out. My "In Search of the Perfect Investment" book lags, though the good news is that my latest dictionary is out (1,000-pages and all) and it's garnering great reviews. Click here. Click on the book to buy a copy.
The last few years, I took your advice about where to go. Three years ago you said to go to Hawaii. I went to Hawaii and Earlene got pregnant. Then two years ago, you told me to go to the Bahamas,and Earlene got pregnant again. Last year you suggested Tahiti and darned if Earlene didn't get pregnant again."
Bubba applied for an engineering position at a Lake Charles refinery. A Yankee applied for the same job and both applicants having the same qualifications were asked to take a test by the manager. Upon completion of the test, both men only missed one of the questions.
The manager replied: "Bubba, it's like this, on question #4 the Yankee put down "I don't know." You put down, "Neither do I."

2019 very good year for Norfolk fair
Attendance surpassed 123,000 last year

The Norfolk Agricultural Scoiety's annual report features a colourful photo of a midway ride on the cover. The report says the 179th Norfolk County Fair last fall posted a profit of $59,000 while the agricultural society's net financial position topped $2 million in assets. Photo by Brian Thompson /Postmedia File photo
The Norfolk Agricultural Society reported a solid year at its recent annual general meeting, one that featured record attendance at last fall's Norfolk County Fair.
"To say this fair was amazing, spectacular, remarkable, outstanding, memorable and unforgettable wouldn't do the 2019 fair justice," Debbie Morrison of Waterford said in the president's annual report.
2019 very good year for Norfolk fair Back to video
"One could not have asked for better weather and it truly does make all the difference in the world.
"A record number of patrons came through the gates during the seven days of the fair (Oct. 8-14). Over 123,000 patrons breaks all the other records.
"Friends and family coming home for Thanksgiving are making the Norfolk County Fair and Horse Show a must-do event while they are here. Thank you to all those who attended."
Good weather and good attendance make for a solid bottom line. An audited financial statement says the Norfolk Agricultural Society posted a profit last year of $59,000.
In its report, Millard, Rouse and Rosebrugh Chartered Accountants, of Simcoe, noted that the agricultural society's net asset position from 2018 to 2019 improved from $1.99 million to $2.06 million.
George Araujo, general manager of the Norfolk County Fair, thanked a generous community and strong support from Norfolk's provincial partners for making the event the fourth largest of its kind in Ontario.
The audited statement notes that the agricultural society's gross asset position in terms of property and equipment stood at $6.04 million at the end of 2019 prior to amortization.
"The province of Ontario – through Celebrate Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs – provides key funding opportunities that support the fair and infrastructure," Araujo says in the general manager's report.
"Businesses in our region know the importance of the programming and facilities we provide and – through their sponsorship – they are committed to their neighbours and visitors and we provide opportunities for them to engage with a greater community. All of this brings a focus on the heritage and culture, both historically, now and into the future."
Araujo says the agricultural society invested more than $440,000 in buildings and facilities in 2019 at its 50-acre fairground on South Drive in Simcoe. Highlights include large horse show pens in the middle of the track next to the Homecraft building, the installation of new transformers, and the burying of unsightly hydro wires.
The 2020 fair executive was also affirmed at the Jan. 25 meeting. Morrison returns for a second year as president while Steven Balcomb remains as first vice president. Brad Nunn will serve as second vice president while Brian Kenney remains as the immediate past president.
The ag society's annual general meeting is traditionally an occasion to remember past citizens who helped build the fair into what it is today. On the honour roll were the late Ginger Stanley, Fred Kent, Carol Meade, Russell Smith, J.H. Thompson, Fred Erwin, John Malo, William Watt, Perry Sowden and Clifford Hare.

Ck one fragrance campaign celebrates the 20th anniversary of the iconic, original unisex fragrance, while reflecting the cultural significance of individuality, self-expression and digital identity.
The campaign was shot on location in New York by famed photographer Mario Sorrenti – who photographed the iconic images of Kate Moss for the OBSESSION Calvin Klein campaigns – and produced under the direction of Calvin Klein, Inc.'s in-house ad agency and studio and creative agency Mother New York. The new ck one campaign stays true to the brand's heritage of featuring emerging talent with a diverse cast of models, artists and musicians.
The talent includes singer/songwriter Dev Hynes and his girlfriend, singer Samantha Urbani; sister musicians Say Lou Lou; electro-pop singer Kelela; electronic artist and producer Evian Christ; Korean pop star Taeyang; singer and actress Soko; artist Ally Marzella; fashion photographer Michael Bailey Gates; photographer and fashion designer Petra Collins; and models Edie Campbell, Stephan James, Chuck, Ali Michael, Jing Wen, Justin Gerard, Lucky Blue, Maggie Laine, Marcel Castenmiller and Victor Correia.
Music has always been a key component of past ck one advertising campaigns and initiatives, and that tradition is continued in the new campaign. In addition to counting eight up-and-coming musicians as a part of the new cast, the TV spot features an exclusive demo produced by electronic artist and producer Evian Christ.
Shot from the perspective of a camera phone, the new ck one advertising campaign illustrates the modern practice of using digital identities to connect with others and to convey individuality. The television campaign makes a private world public by following the evolving stories of the cast as they find ways to express themselves digitally. The print campaign features the outcome of this self-exploration through a collage of self-portraits.
The digital strategy for this launch will focus on global Snapchat – the first time the brand has used this platform – and Tumblr accounts, through which consumers will discover the ck one campaign talent via content that features a journey of self-exploration from the cast on set of the advertising campaign shoot. On Tumblr, a dedicated blog will live at ckmeforme.tumblr.com where hundreds of digital assets from the shoot will be aggregated with the #ckmeforme hash tag alongside discovered content from other communities in line with the ck one point of view.

This pile-up should arrange strong high on anyone's list of accidents that we conflict to by doing a facepalm. There was a red light and a vast organisation of cars already stationary, nonetheless a motorist of that first-gen Volvo XC60 suspicion it was a good time to wobble by traffic.
In a end, a unavoidable happened, as a Swedish crossover crashed into some of a cars ahead. The customarily certain here is that a impact didn't start during high speed. Still, we don't know if anyone was injured.
Aside from a fact that this took place on Dec 8th somewhere in Russia, no other information was released. Although we think that once authorities got involved, a motorist during error suffered all required authorised consequences. The fact that a pile-up was caught on dashcam certainly helped with that too.
So what causes somebody to expostulate so irresponsibly? Weaving by traffic is customarily a pointer of rambling cockiness – that, or a Volvo was concerned in a movie-like automobile chase, that didn't seem to be a case. As for anybody wondering if this competence have been an emergency, to that we say: so what? If we unequivocally need to get somewhere quickly, doing so safely beats not removing there during all.
In a end, had a cammer not changed out of a way, it's probable that a XC60 competence not even have fit by that initial gap. Eventually though, the motorist was reminded that they weren't on a motorcycle, nor were they in some super-fast and flexible SUV.


It is no secret that Travis Scott is one of the craziest and memorable performers in Hip-Hop history. This time the artist is making history with his concert performance, and not by being sent to jail. Travis Scott performed his way into the record books during a recent show in Oklahoma City, Okla. Last Friday, the Houston-bred rapper performed his Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight single "Goosebumps" for a whopping 14 times in a row.
Apparently, Scott broke the record for most times performing a song in one show. The historical significance of the feat wasn't lost on Scott, who had the video uploaded to his official YouTube channel yesterday. It's a pretty crazy feat. Perhaps almost as wild is that the crowd looks nearly as into Scott's 14th performance of "Goosebumps" as they were when he belted it out in the earlier part of the night. Don't take our word for it, peep the performances for yourself in the video below.

Susan Bigelow: Pick your poison on budget plans
Susan Bigelow
Republicans at the Capitol have offered their own counterpoint to Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's initial plan for the current budget deficit, but it's not any easier to swallow. Are there any good choices out there anymore? And if not, where do we go from here?
Once again we're running a deficit, and we've long since run out of cheap and easy ways to fix it. At the beginning of March, Gov. Malloy said he would lay off a portion of the state's workforce before June as part of a plan to fill that gap, while also asking legislative leaders to make their own suggestions within the week. Republicans unveiled their plan last Tuesday. Democrats, at this time of this writing, are still working — their plan was delayed until at least Friday.
So let's examine the GOP's ideas.
What the Republicans are proposing feels a little less draconian than Gov. Malloy's plan to lay off a "significant" portion of the state workforce. They are looking for state employees to take two days of furloughs, to reduce lawmaker pay by 10 percent, to reduce funding for the public affairs network, to eliminate legislator printing or "franking" privileges for the rest of the year, to cut money for charter schools and Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and to get rid of $24 million that was supposed to go to cities and towns to reduce property taxes, among other cuts to many different funds.
They would also, interestingly, restore the governor's controversial hospital cuts, which is something Democrats have been looking to do as well. Hospitals clearly have great lobbyists.
There's a lot that doesn't sit well. Furloughs aren't a great way to deal with a budget deficit, since the money saved by the furlough is partially offset by the economy-wide ripple effects of lost wages, services, and taxes. However, those ripple effects would be disastrously larger should the state actually lay people off, so while furloughs aren't a great solution, they may be the best option out of a whole raft of bad ones.
There's also that hospital funding restoration, which sticks out like a hastily treated sore thumb. I'd be fine restoring some money to the smaller hospitals, especially the ones actually losing money, but it seems silly for a state in dire financial crisis to subsidize large hospitals with healthy profit margins, like Hartford Hospital and Yale-New Haven Hospital.
There are other issues. Reducing lawmaker pay from its already low levels seems like asking for even more corruption, CT-N should be protected because it's otherwise impossible for ordinary citizens to keep an eye on the government, and suspending municipal property tax relief funds just spreads the misery around instead of solving the problem. The rest of their proposed cuts would cause a lot of pain, to be sure, in just about every part of the government.
Basically, everything but revoking franking privileges has its downsides. I'd be fine if legislators could never send out those "information" pamphlets that read and look like campaign ads again. That's the only choice that feels cut and dried.
That said, I respect this plan. There is no possible budget cutting measure that will not have some very nasty downsides at this point, and a lot of the potential alternatives to the Republicans' proposals would be much worse.
For instance, furlough days instead of layoffs is probably the less destructive way to go, though it may make things worse in the future. Hopefully that idea will survive. Lowering legislator pay is also potentially less harmful because most legislators have other jobs. As for the rest, Republicans have made valid choices for things they think are priorities and things they think could survive cuts, if not gladly.
In short, Republicans put in the work of government.
It's another sign of how the Republican minority has been working these past years to give the public an alternative to Democratic governance, instead of simply blocking and booing from the sidelines. It's refreshing.
It's also startling to think that the Republican Party in Connecticut can produce astute legislative leadership while also flirting with voting for Donald Trump, at least if polls are to be believed. The distinction between the different pieces of the party will matter should Republicans ever manage to win a majority in either chamber.
In the meantime, Gov. Malloy cut $65 million from the budget, and asked for legislative leaders to find the rest by the end of the month. The budget crisis rolls on. If Democrats can't find a way to right the ship, Republicans may get a real chance to govern before long.

India Travel Guide
Prices in Goa
Transportation in Goa
Transportation - Get In
By plain
The Dabolim airport , in Vasco da Gama is Goa's only airport. Some airlines fly directly to Goa, but most international flights arrive via Mumbai. Air India has international flights to Kuwait and UAE twice a week. Air Arabia has discount flights to Sharjah. Qatar Airways has flights to Doha, along with convenient connections to Western Europe, Africa and USA.
Flights can be chartered to the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia and Switzerland.
Many domestic airlines have daily flights to and from Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad,Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Jaipur, Ahmedabad and Kozhikode (Calicut).
On arrival, take pre-paid taxis from Dabolim Airport. A yellow pre-paid taxi booth can be found 30m on the left when you exit the main building. There is also a pre-paid taxi stand in the international arrival area. Rates are slightly cheaper than the yellow cabs .
Many resorts pick up guests from the airport for free, so make sure you ask your resort for free pick-up.
Indian Railways connects Goa with direct train services from Delhi, Mumbai,Ahmedabad, Mangalore, Kochi, Kolkata, Thiruvanantapuram, Bangalore, Chennai andHyderabad. The destination station is usually Madgaon in South Goa. Travelling to Goa by train is a real pleasure as the route passes through greenery and many tunnels. Goa is also connected to Pune via the Belgaum Miraj line.
A railway station some tourists tend to miss is Thivim, which is served by most trains and is just 20 minutes away from Calangute beach by taxi. For budget travellers, this is the cheapest option, along with being faster and much more comfortable than travelling by road. It is advisable for tourists to make reservations well in advance as the major trains such as; Konkan Kanya and the Nethravati Express are usually heavily booked.
Trains from Mumbai and most other places have a quota of seats set aside for tourists. Quota tickets must be purchased in person at the rail station by the tourist and cannot be booked via a travel agent. Note that quota tickets are only sold at the station of origin. Tickets can be booked online.
Unless travelling on a shoestring budget, it is advisable to travel in air conditioned sleeper coaches. These are quieter and much more comfortable. Each bunk is provided with two freshly laundered sheets, a blanket, and a pillow. You can also have a hand towel on request.
Most travel agents will book tickets for a small fee (₹200), but be aware that trains do get busy and you need to book in advance. Do not leave booking your ticket to the last moment as you may be disappointed.
Travelling by train can be quite an experience as you are more likely to interact with fellow Indian travellers visiting Goa from different parts of the country, under more relaxed conditions.
There are bus routes from various cities, but most traffic is from Mumbai and Pune. Due to increasing demand from the south, there has been an increase in buses and trains from Mangalore and Bangalore. Overnight buses from Mumbai to Goa are an alternative to trains and flying. Book in advance during the crowded seasons (particularly during the Christmas-New Year rush, for Carnival, or when other Indian regions have school holidays when families travel).
Kadamba Transport Corporation is the Goa state-run transport service. Its buses have seen better days, and more efficient times. There are also other state-run buses run by the governments of Karnataka (some services are efficient, specially the Volvo buses), Maharashtra, and Andhra Pradesh. Many private players also offer bus connections to other cities, with varying levels of discounts and efficiency, with the two usually being inversely related.
Some of the more efficient private operators with well timed , well connected and clean services is VRL (Vijayanand Road Lines) based from Karanataka. They have a well connected and systematic service for passenger and cargo along the Konkan coastal belt and between the Western-Eastern-Southern states of India. Book online on their well maintained website VRL Travels Online booking
The main centre for booking train and bus tickets, in Panjim, is around the Kadamba inter-state bus terminus. Tickets for the Konkan Railway can also be booked here, though expect long queues during the holiday season (which in India, can also coincide with the timings when children have a school break).
Occasional cruise services used to sail from Mumbai to Goa, but these were discontinued because of security concerns and unpredictable weather and are unlikely to resume.
Transportation - Get Around
High resolution maps are not available for Goa. For example, some popular isles are not shown in many maps.
Parts of Goa lack sign boards, so finding your way around could be challenging. When in doubt just ask - usually people are friendly and helpful- but don't expect precise answers (a so-called 'five minute drive' could take a good twenty minutes).
When driving, expect surprises like domestic animals and little children darting across the road, unmarked speed breakers and speed bumps.
By motorbike
There is a choice of manual and automatic gearbox motorbikes and scooters to be rented (typically without helmets). Those planning to stay long may consider buying one instead. Rentals are around ₹300 a day (₹200 in non-peak season) for a Honda Activa scooter and a little more if one is looking for a geared motorcycle (you buy the gasoline as needed). Many small roadside shops sell gas at ₹75 per litre, while the going rate at a station (these are hard to locate in the coastal areas) is around ₹65 per litre.
For the motorbikes, always ask for a discount if renting long-term (one month or more). You should not have to pay more than ₹100 per day. Ensure that you have all the ownership documents of the bike. Also, avoid taking motorbikes with yellow plates out of Goa, as it is a punishable offence. Hiring a bike with white plates is acceptable for local travel in the immediate vicinity but if you want to travel further afield then always rent a bike with yellow plates.
Wearing a crash helmet is compulsory when you go on any major roads (there is a ₹100 fine for not wearing one). Foreigners will need an International Driving Permit (Convention 1949); this is the first thing police will ask you for if stopped. You should also carry your normal driving licence with you.
Travelling by bus in Goa is extremely convenient as the road network easily connects all the places in Goa with roads. State Transport Corporation and private buses are available which serve transport services in major locations.
Despite the off schedule service, noise and overcrowd, there is some unique charm in travelling by private buses which are designed with colourful local characters.
Buses are an inexpensive and fares are often around ₹4-6. ₹10-15 will get you a 30-40 km ride.
There are many car rental companies available.

I had the idea for this picture a couple of months ago (see below) but the original sketch didn't cut the mustard and remained unfinished. The main problem I had was that the proportions of the leaning figure were too naturalistic. I always need to remind myself to distort and exaggerate parts of the drawing and make the subject 'unreal' in some way in order for it to succeed as an illustration. I'm still not completely happy with the execution of this, but I like the idea.

No, Uncle Roger, I don't have a boyfriend. I'm bisexual. You would have a stroke if I brought a girlfriend over for Thanksgiving. Then you would make a snide, inappropriately sexual lesbian joke attempting to cope with your shock and homophobic disgust, and I would be uncomfortable for the rest of the night and avoid you at all costs. Sounds like something to not look forward to.
No, Aunt Sheila, I liked my blonde hair too; it went better with my trousers. I don't care if you think my hair looked better when it was blonde. I like purple and that's that. How else am I supposed to express myself? With a bland bob like you've got? Oh, please. Spare me the lecture!
No, Grandpa, my classes are great! If I have to tell one more person about my romantic, sexual, or educational life I am going to literally scream. Can't we talk about anything else? Politics? NASA? The conspiracy theory that Kurt Cobain is still alive and chilling somewhere in the Caribbean? How jawbreakers are made? Anything other than my stupid, meaningless life.
No, Mom, I'm doing great mentally! I cried on the Jackson Park bus at 11:30 last night, and all of the therapists on campus are completely filled up with people probably worse off than me. I feel alone. I cry almost every day. I'm sorry I'm so weak. I'm sorry I can't be as strong as you. I miss feeling like I'm okay.
No, Alex, university's going great! I miss you. With all my heart, I really do. I miss your hand on my thigh when we drive down the highway, I miss running my fingers through your hair. I miss sending stupid memes to each other and talking on the phone until we fell asleep. I miss you. I wish I hadn't gone to university. I wish we stayed in contact. I wish we stayed friends. I wish you hadn't gone so far away. I wish you didn't leave me for her.
No, Dad, all the payments went through. I hate how much money you and Mom pay for schooling, I hate how much debt we're going to be in even after I'm done university. I'm scared for our family's future. I'm sorry I cost you and Mom so much. I don't know what I'll do if this doesn't work out.
No, Zoe, I miss you a lot. I miss you only a bit. I'm scared you'll replace me as the only child. You and Mom will share drives to school that I used to, you and Dad will take trips to Foodland and pick up snacks only for the two of you like we used to. Every inside joke, every road trip, every Friday Movie Night, every Taco Tuesday… I'll be excluded. You have them in the palm of your hand, and I hate it. I'm the odd one out now. I'm an alien in my own home.

All Implemented Interfaces:
Substitution

public class PerlSubstitution
extends java.lang.Object
implements Substitution

An implementation of the Substitution interface. Performs substitutions in accordance with Perl-like substitution scripts.

 The latter is a string, containing a mix of memory register references and plain text blocks.

 It may look like "some_chars $1 some_chars$2some_chars" or "123${1}45${2}67".

 A tag consisting of '$',not preceeded by the escape character'\' and  followed by some digits (possibly enclosed in the curled brackets) is interpreted as a memory register reference, the digits forming a register ID.
 All the rest is considered as a plain text.

 Upon the Replacer has found a text block that matches the pattern, a references in a replacement string are replaced by the contents of
 corresponding memory registers, and the resulting text replaces the matched block.

 For example, the following code:

 System.out.println("\""+
    new Replacer(new Pattern("\\b(\\d+)\\b"),new PerlSubstitution("'$1'")).replace("abc 123 def")
    +"\"");

 will print "abc '123' def".

October 2018 Synod Assembly: Rhythm of the Synod
Posted November 5, 2018 in Featured News
Faith Notes from the Synod of the Trinity Assembly Meeting
Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center
Those in attendance at the annual Synod of the Trinity Assembly dressed in cardigan sweaters and sneakers in honor of famed children's television program host Fred Rogers of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.
Fred Rogers' legacy could be seen and felt during the Synod of the Trinity's annual three-day Assembly in State College, PA, in late October. Not only were cardigan sweaters and sneakers the suggested dress code, there were several discussions relating to what it means to be a good neighbor while the theme song from Fred's "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" and other meaningful clips from the famed children's television show were on full display. It was all a way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first airing of the show, which featured the ordained Presbyterian minister from Pittsburgh Presbytery, while also bringing his call to be a good neighbor to the forefront of the conversation for the region.
Messages were delivered by guest speaker Rick Ufford-Chase [moderator of the 216th General Assembly (2004) and co-director of the Stony Point Center in upstate New York – a multifaith community that provides overnight and day-use accommodations and meeting spaces for individuals and groups] and Synod Moderator John A. Bolt, both of whom accentuated the need for neighborly relations in our communities.
Rick Ufford-Chase delivers Monday morning's opening worship titled "I will follow where ever you go" based on Luke 9.
"We need to stand against walls," Rick said Monday morning during opening worship. "We need to stand against family separation. We need to stand against militarizing the border. We need to stand against threats of violence. We need to stand against marginalizing those in our communities who do not have documents. If we do not stand up against these walls, we have no business calling ourselves members of the Church of Jesus Christ."
Tuesday morning during closing worship, John continued the Assembly's theme of calling on the church to be vocal and have its voice heard. "It has never been more important for Christians to stand up and say 'Enough!'" he said. Later in the meeting, John (Presbytery of West Virginia) was installed to a second year as Synod moderator, while Judy Angleberger (Beaver-Butler Presbytery) received the same installation for a second year of vice-moderator.
Aside from Rick and John, the Assembly included several other guest speakers, many of whom joined the meeting by video conferencing. In fact, the opening worship was available for viewing to the entire Synod of the Trinity region through this means. Ann Van Dyke, a volunteer for the Harrisburg-based Community Responders Network that works against hate and bias, was one who joined the meeting virtually and gave a presentation on how the church can stand up against hate groups. "The solution to hate speech is speech," she said. "Silence is the welcome mat for hate and churches have been silent for too long."
There were several challenging videos and presentations made at the Synod Assembly in State College, PA.
The Community Responders Network created three "readers' theater" skits around the roots of bias, belief and behavior, a project in which the Synod partnered. One of those skits that dealt with assumptions relating to lifestyle and sexual orientation was shown at the Synod Assembly on Monday afternoon. The challenging production was followed by round-table discussions aimed at fostering future conversations between the commissioners, their presbyteries and congregations.
Those gathered were also challenged at the Assembly on Sunday night while viewing the "Doctrine of Discovery," a documentary about a 16th century movement that has been the subject of conversation at the last two General Assemblies. The Doctrine of Discovery justified the eradication of Native Americans in the United States, declaring that lands were unknown and unclaimed until a white, European "discovered" them and claimed them. At this year's General Assembly in St. Louis, two overtures called on the PCUSA to study, denounce, confess complicity in and repent from the justification of the Doctrine of Discovery.
Keeping with the overarching "neighborhood" theme, a demographics workshop that included information gathered through Mission Insite featured a sampling of what a demographic study would show about those living within a close radius to the church. It prompted discussions on some of the surprising characteristics associated with those households in that geographic circle and how churches could target their ministries to help reach those people.
The Assembly body listens to staff people at Stony Point Center, who joined the meeting by video conference, discuss their role at the New York-based facility.
A communications presentation by Synod Communications Coordinator Mike Givler demonstrated how people can be a good neighbor from afar. He showed how video conferencing system Zoom and the Synod's camera/speaker Meeting Owl can assist congregations and presbyteries in including people who aren't able to attend a meeting. The Synod is offering a special Communications Grant of up to $160 for presbyteries who buy a one-year Zoom license. The Synod is also available to purchase the Owl in bulk at a reduced rate for anyone interested in that product.
Zoom was used Monday night to connect with four staff people who live at Stony Point Center. The conversation centered around the inclusiveness of the facility regardless of the culture or faith backgrounds of those who reside there. Following this time, a Mister Rogers-themed goodbye celebration was had in honor of Chantal Atnip, who is retiring from the Synod as its treasurer and Strategic Ministry Support after more than 13 years.
Business actions included approving a recommendation by the Governing Commission that Synod Transitional Executive Susan Faye Wonderland's terms of service be extended through the October 2021 Assembly meeting. Susan will remain on staff until at least the end of December of 2021 to allow for orientation and training of the incoming executive.
Synod Stated Clerk Wayne Yost, center, enjoys a light moment while installing moderator John A. Bolt, right, and vice-moderator Judy Angleberger.
The Synod also said goodbye to five people who are serving their last year as commissioner in 2018: Sheila Farrar (Redstone), Ben Hooper (Lehigh), Jean C. Kennedy (Pittsburgh), Myrtle McCall (Carlisle) and Madeline Valentine (Philadelphia). In addition, Margaret Mielke (Carlisle) and Barbara Adams-Smelter (Philadelphia) were recognized as new members of the Synod's Governing Commission.
Commissioners and ex officio members received the book "Where the Cross Meets the Street." This reading was recommended by the General Assembly's co-moderators for a year-long book study across the denomination.
In other business, the Assembly approved a recommendation from the Synod's Finance and Budget Advisory Team to raise per capita in 2020 by 10 cents to $2.40. The current per capita rate of $2.30, which is the figure that will be used in 2019 following last year's vote, had not been raised at the Synod level for the past four years.
Synod Treasurer Chantal Atnip holds up a retirement card signed by the Assembly body while being flanked by Synod Transitional Executive Susan Faye Wonderland.
An offering to benefit Presbyterian Disaster Assistance totaled $1,540. The Synod of the Trinity agreed to match up to $1,000 of the offering, which will support the work being done by PDA following recent hurricanes that affected the Carolinas and the Gulf Coast. In addition, a sweater drive resulted in 68 garments being collected for the annual Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Sweater Drive. Gregg Hartung, the director of Presbyterian Media Mission and a friend of the late Fred Rogers, is one of the organizers of the drive and also joined the Assembly by video conference to talk about Fred and how the recent focus on his life through a documentary and upcoming movie have re-energized his legacy.
The theme song from "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" opened the Assembly on Monday morning and was played again later in the day along with various other hymns with accompaniment from pianist Ellen Hunt, the Minister of Music Emerita at Market Square Presbyterian Church in Harrisburg, PA.

Nearly 70 sweaters were collected and donated to the Mister Rogers' Neighborhood Sweater Drive.

YouTube CEO Admits Algorithm Promotes Corporate Media Outlets
Via America's Lawyer: YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki admits her platform boosts engagement of mainstream news sources while letting independent outlets fall by the wayside. Mike Papantonio & Farron Cousins discuss more.
*This transcript was generated by a third-party transcription software company, so please excuse any typos.
Mike Papantonio: In a recent interview, YouTube's CEO admitted that their algorithms are pushing corporate news instead of independent media. No surprise here. Okay. Now this is, this is called YouTube. Okay. It's not called corporate media tube, but it's become corporate media tube. Let me show you how it is. I know you've looked at this. When we do a segment here, all, every segment behind us is MSNBC, CNN, MSNBC, CNN. Why? Because they're paying YouTube so darn much money, it's generating advertising revenue for them, and they're paying money. They're advertising and they're saying, look, if you'll put us up there and promote us and push us, we'll spend more money. This is a really ugly story because they've made, you know, the test right now is YouTube is simply broadcast TV.
Farron Cousins: Yeah.
Mike Papantonio: Isn't it?
Farron Cousins: It really is, especially with their, you know, new, new streaming service and, and the premium memberships. But, you know, Susan Wojcicki, the, the CEO.
Mike Papantonio: What a dope, by the way.
Farron Cousins: Of, of, of YouTube actually admitted this. I mean, that's the part people have to understand. She did literally admit during a recent conference, you know, yes, we're pushing corporate media sources because she says, you know, they're more reliable. We don't want to push some yahoo down there who's doing videos from his basement.
Mike Papantonio: Yeah, that's the talking point, isn't it?
Farron Cousins: Yeah, and that's, she said from the basement. That, that old internet troll
Mike Papantonio: This, news alert, this is not a basement. Okay.
Farron Cousins: Right.
Mike Papantonio: You know, so, so the point, the point being is that corporate media and we've, we talked about this for years. It was just a matter of time till corporate media, everybody starts cutting their cable. Okay. They're cutting their cable left and right. And they're saying, well, gee, I can go to YouTube, and I can get some, my information there. But now the information, according to this new, this management woman who says, this is what I'm going to do. She's just giving you corporate media. It's all CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, it's all corporate media because they're paying them so darn much money to do it.
Farron Cousins: Yeah. And it's really disappointing because you have people who doing these channels on YouTube, these news channels, where they actually do by the way, go out and do real reporting. They're on the ground. They're talking to people. They're doing the FOIA requests and doing videos on the results of that. These are actual journalists and they're getting punished because they don't have the money that corporate media has. And corporate media has now just taken over YouTube. And they're letting them.
Mike Papantonio: You know what I thought of when they said that they're just not getting legitimate news stories, we have to go to corporate media to do that. I couldn't get, I couldn't get out of my head the, the, the, the Cuomo story. Chris Cuomo, where they do a set, it it's all staged. Chris Cuomo is coming out of his cellar now after fighting COVID. The rest of the story is, he had come out of a cellar a week and a half before. And it was just staged, exactly what CNN wanted to do. But they're saying, oh, look, the reason other stuff isn't credible is because they're shooting it down in their basement. And they're just not credible reporters. I, I, this, this woman is just so far out of reality with this.
Mike Papantonio: And I think it's going to start hurting. There's, there's going to be some serious competition. I got a bit of, I got about a minute. Tell me, don't you see that happening? Somebody is going to move into the space.
Farron Cousins: Right. Absolutely. We're already seeing, you know, some content creators moving over to Twitch, which is, you know, an equally popular platform at this point. And there's lots of talk of people saying, why don't we start our own? And I always kind of laugh at that because I say, listen, I've been a part of multiple groups. And we have tried that, but y'all weren't there to support it. But there is people, there are groups that are, that are saying, we've got to move. We have to do something. But, but independent media is dying in the meantime.
Mike Papantonio: I think Twitch is a, is a threat. When people start understanding that this woman, the CEO for, you know, for YouTube is shoving this down everybody's throat. You, you've cut your cable. Okay. You've cut your cable, but we're still not going to let you get away. Because we're going to have that same cable stuff on, on YouTube. It's it's, it's really kind of a train wreck, possibility. Farron Cousins, thank you for joining me.
Farron Cousins: Thank you.
