Fantasy football: Know the biggest high risk/reward players in your draft
By Des Bieler
The Washington Post |
One thing fantasy football enthusiasts tend to realize over the years is that, between injuries, scheme changes and sample-size randomness, there's almost no such thing as a "safe" player. That said, some players are far less safe than others, but they often also have tantalizingly high ceilings.
Let's take a look at one such risk/reward player, a guy who can either be a train wreck or a wrecking ball to the opposition, in each round, through 10 rounds of a hypothetical 12-team draft. As usual, we'll use average draft position data from Fantasy Pros, and we'll default to PPR scoring.
First round: Alvin Kamara, RB, Saints
I've expressed my concerns about Kamara in previous posts, including one on players set for negative regression. He's among the poster boys in that realm, given the historic nature of his rookie season, which included an NFL-leading 6.1 yards per carry and a TD rate of rate of 6.4 percent.
Kamara, who finished third among RBs in fantasy scoring, can make up for a decline in efficiency with increased usage, of course, and that's expected to happen, particularly with fellow Saints RB Mark Ingram suspended for the first four games. But there remains some question of whether Kamara will go from 201 touches last season to as many as, say, 270, while other top RBs are expected to easily clear 300.
In other words, Kamara is likely going to have to continue producing at an elite per-touch rate, in Jamaal Charles-like fashion. It helps that he is in a terrific offense, with a QB in Drew Brees who can expertly audible to plays that best exploit defensive looks, but without Charles's track record, Kamara still has to prove that the exceptionally good times will continue to roll in New Orleans.
Second: Joe Mixon, RB, Bengals
Let's see, Mixon was getting drafted last year as about the 20th RB off the board, then struggled to an RB34 finish, so now he's being drafted as the RB13? If there is all sorts of optimism for the Cincinnati offense this year, it's not being reflected in the ADP of Andy Dalton, who is going as the QB26.
Then again, Mixon did play fairly well down the stretch in 2017, averaging 5.0 yards on 51 carries and 11.4 yards on seven receptions over his final four games. He was a rookie running behind a lousy offensive line, which the Bengals have improved, at least on paper, so there is cause for optimism.

Mixon also brings an enticing size-speed combination to the table, as well as the receiving skills he showed at Oklahoma. Still, the fact that he is going so high probably says at least as much about the desperation of the fantasy community for anyone who looks like he could be a bellcow back — which conveniently ignores the fact that Giovani Bernard is still around — as about anything Mixon has actually shown in the NFL.
Third: LeSean McCoy, RB, Bills
It's a good thing that McCoy has such an impressive statistical résumé for his drafters to rely on, because there is a lot not to like about his current situation. He just posted his eighth straight season averaging at least 92 yards from scrimmage per game, but he also notched the lowest per-carry average (4.0) of his career, a concerning development for a 30-year-old RB with the fourth-most touches among active players.
That's before getting to the overall state of Buffalo's offense, which could be the worst in the NFL this season, and McCoy's off-field issues, which could potentially land him a lengthy suspension. As things stand, though, it appears more likely that whatever punishment, if any, is levied by the NFL won't arrive this season, and McCoy is guaranteed a huge workload when he is on the field.
Fourth: Allen Robinson, WR, Bears
I was tempted to go with the Dolphins' Kenyan Drake here, but we're off to an RB-heavy start — just the way a lot of fantasy drafters like it, right? — so let's pivot to Robinson. He was given big money to be the top receiving weapon in what most anticipate will be a much more threatening Chicago attack, and he has shown the ability to finish as a top-six WR.
Unfortunately, that was with the Jaguars in 2015, and Robinson followed that with a relatively disappointing 2016 season and a 2017 campaign that was almost entirely wiped out by a torn anterior cruciate ligament. Robinson has been eased into action while recovering from that injury, playing briefly in his first preseason game Saturday, and he brings a notable level of uncertainty to a new team that acquired several other pass catchers in the offseason, with a second-year QB in Mitchell Trubisky who still has to show he can get the ball to everyone who needs it.
Fifth: Josh Gordon, WR, Browns
If I have to explain how Gordon is as risk/reward as they come, then I should also probably congratulate you on playing fantasy football for the first time. His prolonged absence from the Browns - as of Tuesday, he had yet to practice with the team in August - only adds to the sense that the suspension-prone but hugely talented Gordon could take his owners on a very wide variety of rides this year.
Sixth: Carson Wentz, QB, Eagles
Wentz is being drafted as the QB6, even though he is no lock to start Week 1 as he recovers from knee surgery, which indicates owners are remembering that, when he got injured in Week 14 last season, he was No. 2 among QBs in fantasy scoring (in fact, he was still at No. 2 through Week 15). It's well worth also taking note, however, that Wentz's passing TD rate was 7.5 percent, the highest among qualified QBs and second only to Deshaun Watson's otherworldly mark of 9.3.
Wentz is likely to throw TDs at a slower pace this season, and his repaired knee means that he might not rush for 23 yards per game again, but he should remain a talented passer at the helm of one of the league's best offenses. The real risk for drafters is in the opportunity cost of taking him where he is going, which involves passing up a slew of useful RBs, WRs and TEs in favor of a QB who needs to go right back to his high-scoring ways to justify the selection.
Seventh: Julian Edelman, WR, Patriots
The exceedingly risky Will Fuller is also going in this round, but I covered him earlier this week in my do-not-draft post. Those taking Edelman in this neck of the woods are obviously expecting the reward of a WR1, or close to it, and he'd pretty much have to be one to pay off, considering that, as with Ingram, he's suspended until Week 5.
As with Robinson, Edelman is also coming off a torn ACL, so the extra time off may actually do him some good, particularly after he complained earlier this month of not having his "football legs" under him yet. But while the Patriots lost Brandin Cooks and Danny Amendola in the offseason, theoretically leaving plenty of work for Edelman, it remains to be seen how effective he is at age 32 and, crucially, how much target volume he can regain in an offense that may well have started humming along without him.
Eighth: Jordan Reed, TE, Redskins
Again, no explanation should be needed here for why the oft-injured Reed makes this list. His ADP actually makes him less risky this year, in that drafters won't have wasted quite as high a pick as usual if he can't stay healthy, while the reward is definitely in place, with a new QB, Alex Smith, who has proven in the past to enjoy targeting his TEs.
Ninth: Chris Carson, RB, Seahawks
Sports Buzz Newsletter
The latest sports news locally and nationally, and what's happening in sports this afternoon and tonight.
A likely starting RB this late in the draft is always a tempting sight, but there's no telling how long Carson will stay atop Seattle's depth chart. That's because he's fending off an understudy in Rashaad Penny who happens to be the team's first-round pick.
Carson was getting rave reviews in practices even before Penny suffered a finger injury that all but sealed his fate, in terms ceding the starting job to start the season, but the rookie is expected back for Week 1 and many anticipate him getting increasingly involved as the season moves along. The Seahawks, though, have developed a reputation for putting on the field their best players, regardless of pedigree, and Carson, a seventh-round pick last year who looked good before suffering a major injury, has a chance to stiff-arm Penny and remain the lead back all season.
Tenth: Aaron Jones, RB, Packers
The Jaguars defense is also going in this round, but that's not risk/reward, that's just ridiculous. Yes, Jalen Ramsey and Co. deserve to be the first defense drafted, but not this early, folks.
Flyers suffer rude awakening in blowout loss to Sabres
Meanwhile, Jones can become Green Bay's lead back, but a lingering hamstring injury and, more significantly, a two-game suspension to start the season, means he has a lot of ground to make up on Jamaal Williams (and that's assuming that Ty Montgomery remains in a passing-downs role). Jones, however, looked at times last season like the most gifted runner on the Packers' roster, and anyone getting touches alongside Aaron Rodgers carries all sorts of upside.

I need to get rid of the page title and the page numbers and the web address and the date found at the top and the bottom of the page when I convert a word doc to pdf. I'm using Adobe Acrobat 5.0 and using Adobe Distiller to convert the doc. Is there anyway to change the settings so these things don't show up when I convert the page. It's like I'm printing it and I just want a clean pdf conversion of an online newsletter in pdf format. No date and web stamps like you get when you print it on a normal printer. Can anyone make any suggestions. I'd like to fix it using Adobe preference settings if possible, but would also be open to using another Adobe editor software if one exists and works in conjunction with Adobe Acrobat 5.0.

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Matthew 5:7 Courtesy of Providence Lithograph Co.
On a recent Saturday at St. Peter's Seminary in London, I was with a group that included men preparing for the permanent diaconate. It was an honour to share with them my vocation —living and giving witness to the social teachings of our Catholic faith. They saw everything that burns within me.
We opened the Scriptures to see how Luke (the evangelist) tells the story of the time that Jesus gave us the greatest commandment. In Luke's version (Luke 10:25-37) the lawyer poses a further question, "and who is my neighbour?" What Jesus replied shocked His listeners.
In our culture, Good Samaritan refers to the simple imperative to be a good neighbour and take care of others, no matter what. The priest and the Levite were too focused on being pious and pure to be the neighbour God wants us to be. As a child, I though the only significant thing about the Samaritan was that, unlike the priest and Levite, he was an ordinary guy who would not have been expected to help. I did not learn until much later that Jews and Samaritans hated each other.
Such were the replies. Here, I would up the ante even further and touch a Catholic cultural nerve: the abortion activist — any person who does not hold Catholic values when it comes to the vitally important issue of the dignity of the unborn.
Suppose we found ourselves on the road to Jericho that day. Suppose we happened upon the Samaritan as he attended to the wounds of the man who had been stripped, robbed, beaten and left for dead. What if the Samaritan asked us to help and asked for money to add to his own so the beaten man could be put up at the inn. How would we respond?
It's easy to believe we would help. To us, the Samaritan is no one in particular. But what if it was not a Samaritan, but a leader in the pro-choice movement? Might we hesitate to help?
I can imagine what might go through our minds. What if we are seen? People would think I am helping an abortionist! What if they saw me give him money? We would worry about our picture being taken and splashed across the digital media landscape. We may be legally innocent until proven guilty, but on the Internet it is guilty once googled. We scorn the purity concerns of the Jews in the parable as obstacles to love of neighbour, but are our own purity concerns really so different?
The Greek word used in Luke's Gospel for "moved with pity" is splagchnizomai. The noun form of the verb, splagchna, referred to the inner organs. So the verb is literally feelings in the gut.
So if a decision to help our "Samaritan" was questioned later, we might say we felt in our gut it was the right thing to do.
This reflection on the Greatest Commandment and the Good Samaritan is not only about who we should help but also how we should help them. If it is shocking to hear Jesus say the Samaritan is our neighbour, it is even more shocking that we might be called upon to co-operate with the Samaritan to meet the needs of the poor and oppressed.
Jesus does not suggest that we must accept or adopt the beliefs of the Samaritan. He does not say that to be a neighbour, you have to become a Samaritan. He simply says we are called, by the feeling placed in our gut by God, to respond to injustices against other humans and the suffering that it causes. And we should let nothing get in the way of that feeling, as it did with the priest and the Levite.
When we are moved by that feeling, Jesus says everything we think we know will get turned on its head. In our gut we know that God places no boundaries on who may work together to be a neighbour to the one left for dead on the road to Jericho.

When in motion, our bodies will be of great consumption, the consumption of which is the biggest water, sugar and electrolytes, and this time many people will choose to drink sports drinks, hoping to make their body recover faster , then this practice is science? Experts pointed out that, in fact, when the sport if not more than two hours, it is not required to drink a sports drink. Descendants of the body of water sports and some minerals are excreted with the sweat a lot, which is in the spirit of the poor feel tired after exercise reason and, therefore, need to be properly after exercise to the body water, and the need to drink sports drinks depending on the time needed motion and strength may be. Sports drinks containing sugar and trace elements such beverages can add water and electrolytes to make up the body consumes. The carbonated drinks in addition to feel a burst of refreshing, but does not contain trace elements, weak body after sweating does not help. Furthermore, carbonated water, citric acid material is also easy to cause this kind of esophageal acid reflux, acid reflux hyperacidity easy to drink but also make people more severe symptoms of acid reflux. Health experts point out that sports drinks have four characteristics: First, add water; second is to contain nutrients, such as sugar, vitamins and minerals; Third, with functional ingredients; Fourth, no carbonation, no caffeine, no alcohol. Because of these characteristics, can be targeted to replenish nutrients lost during exercise, can serve to maintain, improve exercise capacity and accelerate the elimination of the effects of fatigue after exercise, so the athletes are indispensable for other physical exertion larger people often go to the gym, sweating more people, can be appropriate for drinking. Experts said that high-intensity exercise performed marathon athletes should drink sports drinks. But many ordinary fitness drink sports drinks, excessive intake of calories results, but affect the health effects. Fitness expert Nick Hudson pointed out that if the movement is less than 2 hours, do not need to drink sports drinks.
Sports drinks are not suitable for everyone, not hurt, if it is not regular exercise of ordinary people, long-term heavy drinking, will increase the burden on the heart, kidney and other organs.

TRF Rules and FAQ
William II, Prince of Orange (May 27, 1626 – November 6, 1650), stadtholder of the United Provinces of the Netherlands from March 14, 1647 until his death.
William II, Prince of Orange, was the son of stadtholder Frederik Hendrik of Orange and Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. William the Silent had been succeeded in the position of stadtholder and as military commander by his son Maurits of Nassau, who in turn was followed by his brother Frederick Henry. William II's ancestors governed in conjunction with the States-General, an assembly made up of representatives of each of the seven provinces but usually dominated by the largest and wealthiest province, Holland.
On May 2, 1641 William married Mary Henrietta Stuart, the Princess Royal, the eldest daughter of King Charles I of England and Queen Henrietta Maria in the Chapel Royal, Whitehall Palace, London.
In 1648 he opposed acceptance of the Treaty of Münster, despite the fact that it recognized the independence of the Netherlands. Secretly, William opened his own negotiations with France with the goal of extending his own territory under a centralized government. In addition, he worked for the restoration of his brother-in-law, Charles II, to the throne of England.
Read the entire wikipedia article here.
Princess Mary, The Princess Royal, Princess of Orange, and Countess of Nassau (4 November 1631 – 24 December 1660) was the eldest daughter of King Charles I of England, Scotland, and Ireland and his queen, Henrietta Maria. She was the wife of William II, Prince of Orange and Count of Nassau (27 May 1626–6 November 1650) and the mother of King William III of England, Scotland, and Ireland (14 November 1650–8 May 1702). Mary Stuart or Mary of Orange, as she was also known, was the first daughter of a British Sovereign to hold the title Princess Royal.
Mary Henrietta Stuart was born at St. James's Palace, London. Charles I designated her Princess Royal in 1642, thus establishing the tradition that the eldest daughter of the British Sovereign might bear this title. The title came into being when Queen Henrietta Maria, the daughter of King Henri IV of France wished to imitate the way the eldest daughter of the French king was styled (Madame Royale). Until that time, the eldest daughters of English and Scottish kings were variously titled Lady or Princess (The younger daughters of British Sovereigns were not consistently titled princesses of Great Britain and styled Royal Highness until the ascension of George I in 1714).
Her father wished the Princess Royal to marry a son of Philip IV, king of Spain, while her first cousin, Karl Ludwig, the Elector Palatine, was also a suitor for her hand. Both proposals fell through and she was bethrothed to Willem, the son and heir of Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange and Stadholder of the United Provinces, and of Amalia of Solms-Braunfels. The marriage took place on 2 May 1641 at the Chapel Royal, Whitehall Palace, London, but was not consummated for several years due to the bride's young age. However, in 1642, Mary crossed over to Holland with her mother, Queen Henrietta Maria, and in 1644, as the daughter-in-law of the stadtholder, she began to take her place in public life.
The wedding:

At the time of his death Willem II was trying to force Amsterdam on its knees by militairy measures. The general consensus is that he wwould probably have succeeded and the States General would have little choise but offering his some sort of souvereignity of the United Provinces. When he died the anti-orangists took their chance and removed the house of Orange from power. This stadholderless period lasted untill 1672, the disaster year. In the mean time Princess Amalia tried to defend the interest of her house as well as she could, she took charge of Willem III´s education which caused the already frosty relations with her daughter-in-law to become even more icy. Mary soon left for London, where her brother returned to the throne, leaving her adoptive country without much regret. The country was also happy to see her leave as they had little affection for this arrogant Stuart princess who put the interest of her family above the interest of The Dutch Provinces and of her son.
Willem II as a child:..................................................................Mary:
Willem II:
And the last ones for now:
Well, I am reading ´New Amsterdam´ by Russell Shorto and Prince Willem II doesn´t appear in a very positive light. He tried to expand his own power and wanted to create a monarchy. For that goal he opposed the treaty of Muenster, as in peacetime the armies would be smaller and the army was his base of power,. Instead he marched to Dordrecht where he failed, he had some members of the States General arrested at Slot Louvenstein and he had his army march to Amsterdam. As the city of Amsterdam discovered that the army was appraoching they could prepare themselves. The army then retreated as they wcould only have won during a surprise attack.
When Willem II heard the news he became furious, was shouting, threw his hat at the floor etc. He died shortly afterwards. He was only 24 and hungry for power, not as clever as his father or uncle IMHO. He died shortly afterwards from an illness.
Now a question, are there any readable books about Willem II? I haven´t been able to find much, mostly books that contain an overview of the house of Orange, but nothing dedicated to him or his wife (who is intruiging too, esp. her relationship with Princess Amalia).

Dear Marengo, thank you for your collection of Stuart portraits. I'am busy printing! You might have noticed my thread on the Stuarts. I have convinced myself that the little Moor on the portrait of the Princess of Orange, Maria Stuart, is not a person nor a servant in the ordinary sense, but a symbol of blue blood, which 'serves' her. He is offering her pearls which are somehow a symbol of her superiority. As her brother Charles II Stuart is described as 'a tall black man,'and 'swarthy' (Boswell) she could not be such a blindingly white woman.

ScreenDance Diaries
World of Forms
By Sarah Elgart on April 25, 2018 in Dance, Film
As locations for dance films go, swimming pools are exceedingly popular sites. I've seen dozens of films – most very good actually – that take place in or around swimming pools, so many that they almost constitute their own genre of Screen Dance. Be they old and abandoned with muted color tiles or active and brimming with water, swimming pools somehow lend themselves, each in very different ways, to becoming a kind of romantic and/or nostalgic canvas for glimpses into the human condition at the intersections of dance and camera.
Andrea Ward challenges traditional perceptions of gravity in World of Forms
Towards the end of last year I was in New York for a dance conference that took place at NYU Tisch, and of course there was a section attributed to dance films. It was all very makeshift and low tech, no theater, just a class room with a do it yourself – free standing projection screen, some computers, and some chairs. All fine. Based on many of the films leading up to it I had no great expectations, but when I saw Andrea Ward's film "World of Forms" it actually took my breath away. Opening with a stark stillness that gives way to a computerized voice and Andrea's beautiful underwater movement, it took me completely by surprise with its otherness. By the time I heard the beautiful score by Giles Corey and a younger boy, Tyler, dancing in duet with Andrea was introduced, I was all in.
At once youthful, keenly intelligent, experimental, and fearless, in "World of Forms" we see Andrea questioning conventional ideas of knowledge and perception. The irony of a computerized voice asking, seemingly with genuine curiosity, "Does my experience count?"… The cinematography by Rich Denmark, editing by Andrea Ward, voice over, and shot choices are singular and notable. Underwater, she and Tyler "move through a world unbound by physical or tactile material, in which all ideas exist in a fluid and open state."
To say more is to potentially rob readers/viewers of the experience I had. I love the quality of unabashed inquisitiveness in "World of Forms." It almost reminds me of a child who looks openly, at people and the world around them without any attempt to hide their curiosity, and in glimpsing them we see a bold intelligence and a fierce imagination that suggests the future will be in good hands.

How to change my Domain's IP Address (A record)?
The A record is the DNS record that holds the IP address the domain should point to. By default, it points to the IP address of your hosting package. If you are using the 1&1 IONOS name servers (DNS), you can change the A record.
Visit the Domain Centre and locate the domain you would like to make changes to. Use the toggle arrow and select Edit DNS Settings. Find the A/AAAA and CNAME Records section to make your changes there.


The name of Taillevent is a legend in its own right; the name of a Chef acknowledged as the founding father of French gastronomy, and the name of a restaurant that has been the epicentre of its influence ever since 1946.
The only restaurant to be a full member of the Comité Colbert, Taillevent embodies this much-admired lifestyle, for which it is not the curator, but rather the dynamic development laboratory. It is a Grande Maison in the most discerning French tradition; a gateway between eating excellence and drinking excellence that celebrates the flavours of the finest produce enjoyed at the peak of its seasonality, cooked to perfection and seasoned with taste and daring. A place in which to experience the most agreeable congruence between dishes and wines served at their optimum maturity. A place where every diner is welcomed with the same thoughtful consideration, and in which elegant gestures make service a ceremony that is more fascinating than intimidating.
The arts of decanting, flaming, slicing and dressing at the table are just some of the skills that make a Taillevent meal an experience.
Director Jean-Marie Ancher and Chef des cuisines Alain Solivérès welcome you to the former private mansion of the Duc de Morny.

Q: Converting PascalCase string to kebab-case in bash without sed I have this working bash one-liner which converts PascalCase to kebab-case using sed:
foo="TestPascalCaseString"
echo $foo | sed -r 's/([a-z0-9])([A-Z])/\1-\2/g' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
output: test-pascal-case-string

However, this is used in a script which needs to be portable between common Linux distros, WSL on Windows, and both new and older versions of macOS.
On older versions of macOS, the script fails with:
sed: illegal option -- r

I've solved this problem for users of any macOS version by having them brew install gsed first, and have the script use gsed instead of sed. This works, but then Linux users don't have a gsed binary so they'd need to change the script back to using sed.
So I am trying to re-create this with a pure bash solution, or any other tools that work consistently across all platforms, to eliminate the need for prerequisite tool installations or script modifications.
I've tried bash parameter substitution:
foo="TestPascalCaseString"
echo ${foo//[A-Z]/-}
output: -est-ascal-ase-tring

and that replaces the uppercase letters with hyphens, but I don't know how to keep the uppercase characters which it's replacing.

A: With a loop, a regex and bash version >= 3.0:
foo="TestPascalCaseString"
while [[ "$foo" =~ (.*[a-z0-9])([A-Z].*) ]] && foo="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}-${BASH_REMATCH[2]}"; do
  :  # do nothing
done
echo "${foo,,}"

Output:

test-pascal-case-string

A: Using perl (Which I'm 99% sure still comes with OS X):
$perl -ne 'print lc s/[[:lower:]\d]\K[[:upper:]]/-$&/rg' <<<"TestPascalCaseString"
test-pascal-case-string

This is the third in a series of Four articles that discuss the four documents that I think every adult should have.
Last week I discussed the Ohio Living Will Declaration, which tells your health care team what your wishes are if you should no longer be able to make informed health care decisions for yourself because you are terminally ill or permanently unconscious.
6) If you leave money for your children, your Will can provide for a Trust to be set up for your children and name a Trustee who will take care of the money for the children, releasing it for purposes that you have laid out in writing, until the children reach the age that you choose to inherit the remaining money.
Every adult should have a Last Will and Testament. If you die without a Last Will and Testament, you are said to have died "intestate." If you die intestate, the court will need to appoint someone as an administrator to wrap up your affairs. Unless you took steps to keep your bank accounts, car titles and real estate out of probate (a plan we will discuss in a later article), your property will be liquidated and transferred according to the Ohio Revised Code.
I have heard many people state that they are still young – they don't need a Will. However, if you have any money or property whatsoever – even your last paycheck sitting in your checking account – someone is likely going to have to open an estate to transfer what you own. If you haven't left a Will, someone will have to apply for the powers that your Executor would have had. If more than one person wants the job, then there may be a fight. If nobody steps up, then the court may name a complete stranger as the administrator of your estate.
Where do I go to have a Last Will and Testament made for me?
While there are many online companies that will allow you to enter information into a form and then will spit out a document for a low, low price, the old adage applies, "You get what you pay for." Unless you understand all of the legalese in both the document and the website, the document that you create yourself without ever talking to a lawyer may or may not accomplish what you want. In some cases, that document may not even be valid. I think you owe it to yourself and your potential heirs to talk with an attorney about your wishes. Having a Will drafted by an attorney probably isn't as expensive as you think.
The next article in this series will discuss your Ohio Statutory Form Power of Attorney – what it is, what it does (and does not) authorize, and why you need it.


Before I can completely grasp that it is already December, we better review November! Some months seem more action packed than others and November was undoubtedly one. Full of change and lots to remember, we moved yet again, Zach started school full time, we celebrated our first wedding anniversary, I chopped my hair, we took a trip to The Parker in Palm Springs, I landed a new (and exciting!) job and we closed the month giving thanks along with our extended family. Lots to remember and I love taking a look back at the close of each month to see all that has changed and been accomplished. To follow along, follow me on Instagram @brittanythomasreynolds.

The Secret Jehovah's Witnesses Database of Sex Abusers
By The Zalkin Law Firm
Daily Beast. 2/10/20
In this article, the efforts to uncover the secret database of sex abusers maintained by the Jehovah's Witnesses Watchtower headquarters are revealed. Thanks to the tireless work of Attorney Irwin Zalkin and the Zalkin Law Firm the existence of this database was uncovered. The Zalkin Law Firm has filed more child sexual abuse lawsuits than anyone and through court, depositions discovered this secret database from a Watchtower official.
"When an organization is more concerned about its reputation and staving off scandal than for concern for children, then that's a recipe for rampant sexual abuse," Zalkin said. "We find that to be the common denominator—that's true of clergy abuse or boy scout abuse or school abuse. When they're that concerned with the idea of reporting scandal, that's when they get themselves in trouble."

Q: Product of two closed immersions is also closed immersion Let $f\colon X\longrightarrow Y$ be a morphism between $k$ - varieties. I Is the following statement true?

If $f$ is a closed immersion, then $f\times f\colon X\times X\longrightarrow Y\times Y$ is also a closed immersion.

(Proof?)
For an affine $Y$, the statement is simple; whether a ring homomorphism $A\otimes A\longrightarrow A/I \otimes A/I$ surjects, and it follows immediately since $A\rightarrow A/I$ surjects.
For arbitrary $Y$, take its affine open cover $\{U_i\}$, and consider morphisms:
$$f\times f\colon(f\times f)^{-1}(U_i\times U_j)\longrightarrow U_i\times U_j.$$
Since $(f\times f)^{-1}(U_i\times U_j)=f^{-1}(U_i)\times f^{-1}(U_j)$ holds(?), $f\times f$ becomes a closed immersion. $\square$

There is no confidence that the assertion on the last line is true, could anyone help me?


Scissor lifts are relatively safer to operate but can be dangerous if someone operates without proper training or understanding of safety procedures involved in its usage. Not only for the workers who operate the lifts, but also those who are in the surroundings can be injured, sometime fatally, if proper safety processes are not followed including the maintenance of jack or scissor lifts and regular safety training for the operators.
This OSHA regulated Scissor Lifts Safety Course is ideal for operators, site supervisors and general workers, where the training emphasizes on risk identification, applicable regulations and safe work practices for operating all types of scissor lifts.
This online scissor lifts (mobile scaffolds) certification course has been made in line with the regulations formulated by OSHA in 29 CFR § 1926 Subpart L Scaffolds Safety Standards for Mobile Scaffolds, commonly known as Scissor Lifts which are used in various industries for different purposes.
This online training provides deep understanding on the relevant Safety Standards for mobile scaffolds or Scissor Lifts covering regulations and safety procedures prescribed by OSHA. The course will help candidates to precisely identify potential hazards and make necessary corrective measures, understand procedures to avoid risks and various control measures along with practical knowledge on safe work practices.
The training modules put forth by OSHA 29 CFR § 1926.454 regulations states that this standard protocol supplements and underscores the requirements of § 1926.21(b)(2) as it refers to the dangers and risks involved while working on scissor lifts. All workers who are assigned to operate and maintain the scissor lifts must do this course for better understanding and operational efficiency.
(a) According to the regulations, which warrant that all employers or owners of scissor lifts must make their workers trained by qualified people who can be recognized safety experts capable of training workers to manage hazards associated with different kinds of scissor lifts and can control, manage and reduce such hazards.
Our OSHA Scissor Lift Safety e-learning course has been packed with high quality content along with audio and graphical explanation of important topics, hordes of self-check questions to make students prepare well for the final exam.
On successful completion, each candidate will get the Hard copy of course completion certificate and can also print a wallet card.
Each passing out student is entitled for 0.2 CEUs (or 2 CMEs) recognition for completing this course.

RALEIGH -Motorists traveling on the U.S. 401 bridge over the Cape Fear River in Lillingtoncan expect lane closures beginning Friday, April 12 through Sunday, April 14.
The lane closures are necessary so crews can prepare to shift all traffic onto the northbound bridge into two lanes, with one lane in each direction, by Monday, April 15 for 100 days.
In addition, Tenth Street will be temporarily closed for 100 days, and motorists will need to use U.S. 421 as the signed detour.
Motorists traveling this area will need to use caution since there will be a new traffic pattern, as well as obey signs and the speed limit.
The work is necessary as part of the project to replace the U.S. 401 South bridge.

Rocky road besets Europe's bid to open medical data
By Patrick Glauner | Jun 28, 2022
Image courtesy of and under license from Shutterstock.com
AI has started to disrupt healthcare by providing better patient care while also cutting waiting times and costs. Prof Patrick Glauner expounds on the importance of open medical data in modern AI-based healthcare, the European Health Data Space and the Data Act, as well as various regulatory challenges as he wades into the fray in the debate in The Yuan's Open Medical Data series.
DEGGENDORF, GERMANY -
Data is key to modern healthcare: from expert systems to ML-based systems
Early work on applying artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare started in the 1970s. MYCIN, an AI first proposed in 1975, is an expert system that identifies bacteria which cause severe infections, such as bacteremia and meningitis. It recommends treatment with antibiotics and adjusts the dosage depending on patients' body weights. MYCIN is based on Dendral, which is considered one of the first expert systems and was mainly applied to tackling problems in organic chemistry.
Further early uses of AI in medicine have been surveyed in the literature.[1] Subsequent decades have witnessed improvements in computing power, a greater abundance of data thanks to the internet and the digital age in general, and noticeable advances in the fields of computer vision and natural language processing. These have led to a large number of machine learning-based applications in healthcare, including but not limited to radiology, screening, psychiatry, primary care, disease diagnosis, telehealth, the analysis of electronic health records, the prediction of drug interactions and the creation of new drugs, and the prediction of injuries to football players.[2]
European Health Data Space
The European Health Data Space (EHDS) proposed in May 2022 is an initiative within the overall digital strategy of the European Commission (EC),[3] whose aim is to link national health systems more closely through the secure and efficient exchange of health data. The pooling of nationally collected health data is intended to improve care, research, and the infrastructure of individual healthcare systems as a whole.
The EHDS seeks to enhance the qu

Learn how to blend paint pens to make an amazing rainbow rock painting! This is such a fun and simple rock painting idea for kids and adults.
Here on Ruffles and Rain Boots, we've been hit with the pebble painting bug. You can find more of our ideas and tips on our Rock Painting 101 page.
For this craft, you'll need just a couple of supplies which are recommended for any rock painter's craft cabinet. In fact, you're likely to have most of this on hand. Let's get started with this tutorial on how to blend paint pens quickly and easily.
We've used this method with so many rocks now and have basically decided that this the best way – and the quickest. When it comes to crafting with kids (or impatient adults like myself) this is always welcome.
Step 1: Lay down your first color (ours was pink). You don't have to get a ton of coverage because you'll be spreading it around with the foam brush. Add on the next color (red) and use the foam brush (starting from the bottom if the color is darker).
Step 2: Be sure to blend light into dark most of the time. If you make a mistake, no worries! Watch the video to see how I intentionally messed up to show you how easy it is to fix a rock painting mistake with these amazing paint pens.
Step 3: Once the paint pens dry – it's quick – trace a shape onto your rock. In order to make the colors pop, you can choose to lay down a coat of white acrylic paint (I don't like using the white paint pen on top of the colored ones. I feel it doesn't always cover and it can run).
Step 4: Paint whatever your desired design and outline your shape.
Step 5: Protect and seal (note: I like to lay down a cover of ModPodge on any project with paint pens to avoid the color running).

What did you think about this fun tutorial on how to blend paint pens? We've tried so many and this one is the best rock painting blending tip for kids.
Please share this to your favorite rock painting board on Pinterest. Your shares are how we grow and we sincerely appreciate them!
I have read this over and over are you using the sealer or water to blend the paint? I have the Posca Pens (and they are the best) and many, many sealers. Duraclear, Mod Podges, and other sealants.
To blend the colors, use a *dry* brush when the paints are fairly wet. In order to keep it all clean, just wipe off the foam brush between colors and you're set. You can blend with water, but I find I have less control – it looks great, but I have less control on the blend. Hope that helps!

Ubuntu attempts to enter the smartphone race in Q3 this year. Ubuntu powered phones will be on store shelves in October, according to Canonical CEO Mark Shuttleworth.
He also says that app developers will get access to the latest build by the end of February, so long as they have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus to install it to.
Developers are being lured by the promise that native apps written for Ubuntu phones will also work on desktop computers, and vice versa. Hopefully this fills the Ubuntu app store for richer offerings than we tend to find on mobile app marketplaces.
According to reports, this interoperability between mobile and desktop computing is key to Ubuntu as a successful smartphone OS. Shuttleworth imagines devices that will cross the limitations of today's smartphones, creating devices that can be docked to larger displays and input peripherals and behave like a PC when necessary. This is much the same vision BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins has the BlackBerry platform.
A significant point of difference is essential for kickstarting a new mobile ecosystem at this time. To get Ubuntu off the ground, Canonical will need a strong manufacturing partner, which represents significant risks for the OEMs struggling to make sales with Android.
In its favour, the telcos are still hungry to find a viable third ecosystem to support; one the carriers can exercise some control over in a way that is impossible with iOS. This gives Ubuntu a chance at the third spot.
