Fiji's opposition leader has published an open letter to the prime minister outlining what he says are serious misrepresentations and disinformation in Laisenia Qarase's public statement on the Reconciliation and Unity Bill.
Mahendra Chaudhry says the prime minister claims there will be no interference with the authority and independence of the director of public prosecutions, but under the Bill the powers of the DPP are undermined.
Mr Chaudhry says a politically appointed Reconciliation and Unity Commission will be able to suspend criminal proceedings.
He says this provision usurps the powers of the DPP and as such stands in breach of the Constitution, because the DPP is an independent constitutional office protected from political interference.
Mr Chaudhry says the prime minister claims that "there will be no interference with the authority and independence of the courts."
But Mr Chaudhry says the Reconciliation and Unity Commission will have the powers to ask the courts "to postpone any criminal proceedings pending the consideration and disposal of the application for amnesty."
Mr Chaudhry says under the Bill, a person granted amnesty for a crime for which he is serving a term of imprisonment, shall be "released forthwith on a warrant issued by the president."
Mr Chaudhry says this again has the effect a of overturning a lawful decision of the courts and the prime minister is therefore deliberately misinforming the public when he says there is no interference with the courts.
Mr Chaudhry says overturning a judgement of the courts is unconstitutional.

Fun & Games With Victorian English Slang
by DoolinDalton
by Brian Thornton
My friend Michael recently had a birthday. He chose to celebrate it by hosting an open house, insisting on no gifts; he just wanted our good company.
So, of course I brought him a gift.
And I ought to have known that his "no gifts" dictum only ran one way, because he had two in hand to give to us: a novel for my wife and a book of Victorian English slang for me, the guy who writes stuff set during the Victorian era (mid-to-late 19th century, for those of you playing at home.).
And I'm here to share the wealth: or at least some highlights! Today's entry will mine the listings for A, B, and C.
All of the phrases and their definitions below are taken from Passing English of the Victorian Era: A Dictionary of Heterodox English, Slang and Phrase, by British mystery writer (and creator of one the first female detectives) James Redding Ware (1832–1909, wrote under the pseudonym Andrew Forrester). As nearly as I can tell, this compendium was compiled over many years. It was first published shortly after his death in 1909. Many of the passages contained herein would be a natural fit in such contemporary satirical works as Ambrose Bierce's Devil's Dictionary (1911).
Warning: STRANGE (and off-color, inappropriate, and, and, and...) STUFF AHEAD. Some of this makes the entries at urbandictionary.com seem straightforward!
Acknowledge the Corn: Adroit confession of minor offence to intensify the denial of the major offence: e.g., 'Sir, I believe you are after my wife–and you certainly pocketed my meerschaum last Sunday evening at 10.30.' To which the answer might be: 'Well, I acknowledge the corn–I took the pipe by incident, so to speak; but as to Mrs. H., I'm as innocent as the skipping lamb.' Said to arise from an ordinary horse-lifting case in the West of the U.S.A. The victim was accused of stealing four horses from one point and four feeds of corn from another for the said four horses. 'I acknowledge the corn,' said the sufferer–but legend says he was lynched in spite of the admission.
Adam and Eve's togs: Nakedness.
Afternoonified: Smart.
Agreeable Rattle: (ab. 1840) A chattering young man.
Alderman hung in Chains: A fat turkey decked with garlands of sausages.
Alls: Waste pot at public houses.
Blue Pig: (Maine, U.S.A.). Whisky. Maine is a temperance state, therefore liquor has to be asked under various strange names, which have generally been satirically distinguished by a strange contradiction in their component parts, as in this instance. The phrase common in Liverpool.
Bob, Harry and Dick: (Rhyming, 1868) Sick–disguised way of admitting a crushed condition, the morn following a heavy drink. (See Micky.)
Bohemian Bungery: (Strand District) Public-house patronized by struggling authors. Bohemian having been introduced by Murger for a fighting author, artist, or musician, and the tea-pot brigade having dubbed a licensed victualler a bung, from that adjunct of a beer barrel–this phrase became one of the results of time. The Nell Gwynne was once a Bohemian Bungery.
Boiled Owl: (People's) Drunk–as a boiled owl. Here there is no common sense whatever, nor fun, wit, nor anything but absurdity. Probably another instance of a common name being changed to common or even uncommon word. May be drunk as Abel Doyle–which would suggest an Irish origin like many incomprehensible proverbs too completely Anglicized.
It is a well-known fact in natural history that a parrot is the only bird which can sing after partaking of wines, spirits or beer; for it is now universally agreed by all scientific men who have investigated the subject that the expression, 'Drunk as a boiled owl' is a gross libel upon a highly respectable teetotal bird which, even in its unboiled state, drinks nothing stronger than rain-water. –D.T. 12th December, 1892.
Boko: (Common) A huge nose. Corruption of 'beaucoup', the 'o' being national and preferred to the French 'ou'.
Boko-smasher: (Street) For elucidation of this elegant occupation see Boko.
Bone: (London, 1882) A thin man. Hence–'The bone has made a remark.' (Surrey Pantomime, London, 1882)
Bone-shaker: (Youths, 1870 on) The earliest bicycle–which tried to break bones incessantly.
Cart: (Peoples' 18th cent.) A metaphor for the gallows–to which terminal its victims were jolted in a cart. Still heard in provincial places–'You be on'y fit for the cart'–doubtless now used without the least idea of its original meaning. In London the cart tavelled, only too often, several miles from Newgate to Tyburn Tree, whose site was that of the Marble Arch in Hyde Park. Used by all the dramatists in the last century.
Castor: (Street) A hat. Of course from the first hats being made from the fur of the castor, or beaver; passed down to the streets, where any hat is called a castor. Superseded by Gossamer.
Casualty: (Peoples') A black eye. From the first Soudan War, when slight injuries were cabled under this head.
Cat: (Thieves') Woman in general, and a bad one in particular. Suggested probably by her smoothness, the uncertainty of her temper, and the certainty of her claws.
Chamber of Horrors: (Soc) The name of the corridor or repository in which Messrs Christie (King Street, St James's) locate the valueless pictures that are sent to them from all parts of the world as supposed genuine old masters; sent, as a rule, with directions to sell at certain prices most preposterously fixed very high. Phrase borrowed from Madame Tussaud's wax-work, where this chamber is coloured black, and filled with effigies of murderers.
Chapper: (L. London) To drink.
Chestnut: (Amer. Eng.) An old joke offered as new. Brought to England officially in 1886 by A. Daly's Company at the Strand Theatre in 'A Night Off', where the heroine tells the hero the play was found in an 'old chest'–to which he replies, 'Very old–chestnut!'
More 'chestnuts' in two weeks!

great stuff- how sad so many great phrases have been lost.
R.T. Lawton 20 September, 2018 09:00
They definitely had a way with words.
O'Neil De Noux 20 September, 2018 14:24
Good information. Thanks for posting this.
Leigh Lundin 20 September, 2018 20:45
I quite like those, Brian. I've heard of one or two but didn't know what was meant. The only one I actually knew was chestnut.
As for singing parrots… I've never led one to drink, but trust me– parrot singing resembles a lawnmower running over the tail of a mite slow cat.

Reading is a complex activity, requiring the reader to use countless skills simultaneously in order to read fluently. For both the child learning to read, and their parents, it can sometimes seem a thoroughly daunting task. And, knowing that a successful start in learning to read leads to further educational success, can make the task seem overwhelming.
It therefore helps to have strategies for reading in place, so that the seemingly insurmountable task of reading can be broken into parts, which somehow always seems less threatening.
The ABC Reading Eggs program incorporates each of these five essential elements into the structure and content of its lessons. Each Reading Eggs lesson always includes four or five of these elements. What follows is a description of each literacy element, and the strategies for reading that ABC Reading Eggs employs within each one.
These lessons engage young readers in activities that help their phonemic awareness to develop and flourish. Later on in the program, readers listen to words in order to discern the lesson's focus sound, and also work with onsets and rhymes, such as c-at, b-at, r-at, so that they become adept at breaking words into smaller parts. Being able to manipulate phonemes builds phonemic awareness skills, which when combined with phonics, rapidly increases a child's bank of readable words.
Phonics instruction helps beginning readers to link letters to sounds (phonemes) in order to form letter-sound correspondences and spelling patterns. Children can use this strategy in their reading, in order to see how letters and sounds relate.
ABC Reading Eggs uses a synthetic phonics approach with lessons that map individual letters, or letter combinations, with their appropriate sound. Each letter of the alphabet is introduced in its own lesson which reinforces the relationship between letters and sounds. It also draws young readers' attention to the alphabetic principle, that is, the notion that sounds relate directly to the letters of the alphabet.
ABC Reading Eggs offers focused lessons that help build a child's vocabulary, but also offers lessons in spelling as well. This not only builds vocabulary, but also helps kids know both how to spell a word, and how to use that word properly in a sentence. Instruction in these areas is another way that ABC Reading Eggs offers kids great strategies for reading and writing. ABC Reading Eggs also accommodates children with a wide range of differing abilities; the program is able to assist readers who may need extra help with vocabulary.
ABC Reading Eggs engages readers in all of the comprehension-building activities within a rich, enjoyable and rewarding learning environment. ABC Reading Eggs creates a meaning-based approach to reading instruction in a way that engages and motivates readers, and offers them a host of effective strategies for reading that helps kids become fluent readers.

Q: Proguard - Can't find any super classes I'm getting this error:

-libraryjars 'D:\Workspace\android\libs\simple-xml-2.6.9.jar'

The library for log4j is there, so what could be the problem?
UPDATE
As I have found the problem is raised during optimalization.
Shrink and obfuscation is working.

A: For those who need a fast solution on using Log4J on Android, Krivers' update actually served as a hint: setting -dontoptimize in ProGuard configuration turns off optimization and thus avoids the error (although this should only be considered as a workaround).
In fact, the Android Tools Project Site had also suggested to turn off ProGuard optimization:

Dalvik performs many of its own optimizations, and some of the optimizations performed by ProGuard are incompatible with Dalvik, so to avoid hard-to-figure-out bugs (and because the net performance gain is usually small), the default configuration turns off optimization.

A: The class org.apache.log4j.chainsaw.LoadXMLAction extends the class javax.swing.AbstractAction. This latter class is part of Swing, which is not present in Android. Therefore, LoadXMLAction can never be used in practice. Furthermore, ProGuard can't analyze this class properly without its complete class hierarchy.
Solution: you should avoid adding LoadXMLAction to your application libraries, either by not putting the corresponding Apache jar in your libs directory, or by filtering out the class (and similar classes) from the ProGuard injars options (more difficult in the standard build process), or by removing the class from the jar.

Vandal Eyes: March 15 2017; Donald Trumps Colf Course. "No more tigers. No more woods". Pow!
The Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes was defaced overnight by activists presumably attempting to send the president a message about climate change.
Photos and video show a group clad in dark clothing making their way onto the green of the golf course with rakes under the cover of night.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department confirms their dispatch received a call from Trump National around 8:45 a.m. Sunday in relation to the vandalism, but the call was cancelled before deputies arrived on the scene.
There is no investigation underway at this time, according to the LASD. Authorities are aware of the video, but has not been on the premises to verify what was seen on the tape.
A statement issued by activists claiming responsibility for the incident cites the "humanitarian crisis" of global warming and animal welfare as the group's motive.
"If our King Puppet really wants to ease the strain of immigration, why not make this world more livable for our neighbors, reduce the imperative need for any person to have to bundle their lives into a bag and flee their homes under duress," the unsigned statement reads.
The group wants to remain anonymous, and Eyewitness News spoke with one of the activists.
The person went on to say they chose hole No. 5 as the spot for the vandalism because it was "the most picturesque" spot on the course to display their message.
Trump and his administration are proposing deep cuts to the Environmental Protection Agency that would eliminate programs and staff.
The Trump National Golf Club is an 18-hole public course that charges an annual membership fee of $695 on top of a $160 fee to play each visit.
"Noted as the most expensive golf course ever built, over $250 million dollars has been spent to ensure its prominence," the course's website reads.
A manager Eyewitness News contacted from the golf course said he was not authorized to make a statement about the incident.
L.A. County sheriff's officials estimate the damage is around $20,000.
MEDIA PROTOCOL: Please note there will be NO MEDIA PERMITTED in Carnegie Theatre during the family remembrance between 10:30 am to noon. Media may record the march that begins at noon at Main and Hastings, except NO recording of the ceremonies that take place during the march.
February 8, 2017 VANCOUVER, Coast Salish Territories- The February 14th Annual Women's Memorial March is held on Valentine's Day to honour the memory of all women from the Downtown Eastside who have died due to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual violence. Now in its 27th year, the march brings courage and commitment to end the violence that vulnerable women in the Downtown Eastside face on a daily basis.
The Women's Memorial March Committee is hosting a press conference on Tuesday February 14th at 11 am in the Carnegie Center's 3rd floor classroom. The march begins at noon on Main and Hastings.
The February 14th Women's Memorial March Committee was founded when a woman was found murdered on Powell Street .For 27 years, the Committee has been a leading voice on the issue of violence against Indigenous women and has raised local, national, and international attention. Despite a national inquiry being launched on missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls, the reality on the ground in the Downtown Eastside has not changed.
In Vancouver, friends and family members led by Indigenous women move through the DTES and stop at sites where women died or were last seen to offer prayers, medicines, and roses in remembrance.

U2 to Headline Bonnaroo Music Festival
Kim and Kanye Pay a Visit to Jay Z and Beyonce
Donald Trump Reacts to Meryl Streep's Speech
bostonglobe.com
U2 has announced a tour in celebration of their album The Joshua Tree, which came out 30 years ago. One stop on the tour will include the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival where they will be headlining.
The tour will kick off May 12 in Vancouver, Canada and will end August 1 in Brussels, Belgium. Bono spoke about the album in the statement that he made about the upcoming tour.
"Recently I listened back to The Joshua Tree for the first time in nearly 30 years…it's quite an opera. A lot of emotions which feel strangely current, love, loss, broken dreams, seeking oblivion, polarization…all the greats…I've sung some of these songs a lot…but never all of them. I'm up for it, if our audience is as excited as we are…it's gonna be a great night."

Outstanding act of leadership as a Coordinator of the SPN Editing Community of Practice
Presented by Debra H. Foster, Pembroke Publishing Service Center Chief and SPN Senior Leadership Team Liaison to the ECoP
This Leadership Coin is given to Carol Wilkinson, Denver Publishing Service Center, for her outstanding acts of leadership as one of the coordinators of the Science Publishing Network Editing Community of Practice (ECoP) from FY 13 through FY15. These were growing years for the ECoP and thanks to Carol's guidance and expertise, the ECoP was brought farther along as a community than it has ever been. She introduced the use of Google Drive to communicate and share documents between the Coordinators and the ECoP, and planned and organized presentations for the monthly Webex meetings in collaboration with the other Coordinator. Conference call meetings are challenging to engage 60 participants, but she handled the challenge with grace and professionalism. She developed, edited, and compiled surveys and results through Google forms, which opened up yet another method of communication between the editors, and actively suggested changes to the new organizational structure for the ECoP that created an editorial decision team and defined the roles and responsibilities for making final editorial and style decisions for the USGS.
This coin is also given in recognition of her other acts of leadership through the design, development, and coordination of the new easy-to-use discussion Web forum in Sharepoint for the 60 editors in the Science Publishing Network (SPN) and for the development and presentations of a training module on how to use this Web site.
Many hours were spent on the phone to plan, revise documents, and develop communication tools while balancing a regular editorial workload. She brought the right balance of strengths to the team, and her dedication and passion for the editing community was apparent. The SPN is very lucky to have had her as a coordinator during her term.

Kenya: Nyashinski - Life in the U.S. Was Too Harsh, I Had to Return Home
Nairobi News (Nairobi)
By Hilary Kimuyu
When the family of Nyamari Ongegu, who is popularly known by the stage name Nyashinski, got a chance to relocate to Delaware, USA, the then 21-year-old was excited, but he did not know what lay ahead.
At the time, more than 10 years ago, Nyashinski's music career had just begun to pick up. He was a member of the poplar Kleptomaniacs music group.
But when he arrive in the US things turned out to be the opposite of what he expected. He even quit music.
QUIT MUSIC
"When we moved abroad, I had completely quit music. I was working back in the States as a truck driver. I used to drive a lorry, trying to survive," the rapper said on his YouTube channel Nyashinski Talks, which premiered this week.
Nyashinski says he experienced challenges adjusting to the new environment and his only company was the truck he was driving for long hours.
"I had started wearing out. The job runs you down. And it is a lonely existence because you are on the road for weeks on end. Just you, the truck and the long road ahead. Relationships breakdown, your health suffers too. I knew many older drivers whose marriages had broken down due to the work. Also, I know I worried my parents a lot. They didn't know where I was sleeping, they were scared of me getting an accident, which thankfully, through the years, I didn't. Not even a speeding ticket," he narrated.
He says the monotony of being on the road would only be broken by brief moments when he stopped to fuel, sleep, shower and use the bathroom.

MUSIC COMEBACK
"So you find yourself enjoying small conversations with people you meet for five minutes. At least it was a way from that cage."
The experience made him reflect on his life and he regretted leaving Kenya where he had a social life and a good career.
"That experience taught me a lot. Two things that were life-changing for me back then was one, when I was here, I was a star. People recognized me everywhere and we were doing what we loved. I moved from a place where I was known and getting a bit of favours here and there to a place where no one knows me. No special treatment and you must work because you have to eat," he said.
A friend who noticed his passion for music urged him to go to the studio and record, a move that sparked his urge to return home.
"So back in the States, my friend told me to just go in the studio and exert that pressure as a lyricist. I did not have to release the songs. But I found myself listening to a beat, creating a song, and then wanting to perfect it, and then I wanted people to listen. That is how I found myself back into the music world and came back home," he said.
With the blessings of his parents, Nyashinski returned to Kenya in 2016 before making a comeback in music months later.
His comeback was marked by his song Now You Know, which became a fans' favourite. He has since released many more hits including Malaika, Bebi Bebi, Mungu Pekee and Hello.
He has also done collabos with popular artistes, including Sauti Sol, and released his Lucky You album, which he is still promoting.

Brands and businesses are moving away from traditional websites, and placing more and more emphasis on their Facebook pages. This is great from a customer service and interaction standpoint, but certainly muddies the waters from an SEO perspective.
It used to be that with the right mix of keyword-laden text, reciprocal links, and clever use of heading text, a crafty SEO expert could push a website up in the rankings. But now the focus is on your Facebook page, and you still need to get your brand or business in the top of the rankings. Here's seven tips to help you do just that.
The names of your Facebook page, custom URL, and custom tabs are of utmost importance. Search engines see these titles in Heading 1, which means they're heavily ranked by search engines. Craft the title of your page, tabs, and URL carefully, making sure they contain the name of your brand or business.
If you're the proud owner of Joe's Garage, but instead opt for "Mechanics You Can Trust," Joe's Garage isn't going to rank highly on the SERPs. Your brand or business name is how you're known and how you're found, so be consistent when labeling your page, URL, and tabs. And once you've named your page or picked your vanity URL, commit to it.
As is the case with traditional SEO, getting links to your Facebook page and custom tabs is extremely beneficial. Links are like recommendations. If one friend recommends you eat at a certain restaurant, you'll consider it. If a number of your friends echo that recommendation, you'll be convinced.
If Google sees that your tabs and pages are being linked to by numerous sources, both on and off of Facebook, then your page and tabs must be important. But search engines also take into consideration where the links are coming from. A link to a custom tab on your business page will be weighted much more heavily if it's from a popular, recognized source.
More of your Facebook page is indexed by search engines than you may realize. For instance, your wall posts are indexed. But since wall posts lose their relevancy in time, they aren't given much weight. Still, using your target words and phrases in your wall posts isn't a bad idea.
Your new custom tabs you painstakingly created? Relax, those are indexed too. And given quite a bit more weight than wall posts. Remember, well-earned Likes are a significant ranking factor in Bing, and building Likes is one of the easiest and strongest things you can do for ranking Facebook content on Bing.
So if you haven't already, build some custom tabs and name them appropriately. Use Heading 1 text, emphasize titles, and add bold text. Custom tabs have staying power, you and your friends can create links to your custom tabs, and you can even provide links to your custom tabs from external sites, so aptly named tabs with multiple links to them will be will be very beneficial in your SEO efforts.
It may seem like common sense, but search engines can't parse images, which means they can't tell if there's text inside an image. So don't put your SEO-rich text within an image that you add to a new custom welcome tab. It can't be indexed there. Instead, put that text on the About and Info tabs.
But remember that Facebook is a place for social connection and interaction, so don't go overboard with SEO-rich text. Material that isn't social won't hold your fans' attention, and can even cause abandonment.
Being a good community manager is just as important as an SEO campaign. The popular Facebook pages have all those likes because those pages embrace the ideology of Facebook: they're interactive, engaging, and usable pages. Facebook, at its core, is about connecting with people, so don't sacrifice the interactivity of your page for the sake of SEO.


Following the boring and pretentious defacement of a boring and pretentious artwork by Mark Rothko in Tate Modern last week comes a somewhat more imaginative piece of artistic 'vandalism', this time perpetrated in Milton Keynes. Milton Keynes itself (I apologise if you are a resident) is not, it has to be said, the most visually distinctive or appealing of places, and the fact that its concrete cows were one of its most noteworthy features served only to highlight that fact. The cows themselves, as can be seen from the first of the pictures below, were neither the most faithfully rendered nor inspired of creations, and looked rather drab. Following an imaginative piece of 'vandalism' however, they were rather humorously changed into a group of skeletal 'cows', and actually, to my mind, look all the better for it.
Now, although not condoning vandalism, would you support The Parks Trust in its decision to repaint them at a cost of £2,000, or do you think that the sculptures look somewhat better following their inventive transformation? Should they stay as they now are?
Where do they get a figure of £2,000 to paint a few concrete cows?
Is this special NASA paint that can withstand the heat of re-entry? Does the pain contain gold?
What a ridiculous sum of cash. No wonder trust is being lost with local councils and in this case the Parks Trust if they can squander that amount of money on such a simple task It probably cost the vandals about £40 in paint in the first place!
Overheads Rob. Overheads. I much prefer them as they are now, and whoever did this, did it for free.

Chagrin Falls wins in first meeting against Berkshire
By Steve Hare
BURTON—A bit of history was created in Chagrin Falls' 1-0 Chagrin Valley Conference Chagrin Division matchup at Berkshire on Wednesday.
The Tigers and host Badgers had never met on the field before this season and Berkshire also was playing in its first Chagrin Division contest in program history.
"They were an unknown," Chagrin Falls coach Pamela Malone said of the Badgers. "I'm impressed with the Berkshire team, I really am. They were gutsy and gritty. No. 15, Lexi Boyk, obviously she was on our radar. She challenged us and that was good. They have a nice team."
Berkshire held its own with the Tigers for all but about 10 seconds of the 80-minute game.
That lapse occurred 10 minutes into the second half when Peyton Gellin sent a free-kick into the box where Berkshire keeper Emma Musick leaped to catch the ball. Upon impact with the ground, Musick lost control and Chagrin Falls' Sarah Burgess tapped it into freshman Kate Bartlett's path.
"We talk about being a finisher," Malone said of Bartlett's decisive goal. "It's not going to look pretty or the ball that goes through the back of the net. It's going to be scrappy goals, especially on a free-kick. Some of our other free-kicks were going over. We told Peyton to drive that one low so we could get some action on it. That's what we tried to do on that one. The goalie smothered it initially and then it popped out and pinged around a little bit. She was in the right place at the right time and just popped it in."
Berkshire had a couple of scoring opportunities of its own, none better than Boyk's first-half breakaway when she was tackled by Chagrin keeper Aerin Krebs.
The Badgers couldn't take advantage of the free-kick and struggled to punch one in against the Tigers' stout defense.
"They have No. 17, Katie Schumacher, back there and she's really, really tough," Berkshire coach Ian Patterson said. "I went and watched them play twice last week. They haven't given up a goal and they played two bigger schools that were powerhouse programs in the past. She just locks everything down. She's so quick and so efficient with the ball. She sweeps everything away. She doesn't play as a sweeper, she plays as a center back but she cleans everything up because she's so quick. It's hard to beat her."
Chagrin Falls was equally ineffective in mounting a consistent attack.
Berkshire's home field isn't as wide as what the Tigers are accustomed to playing on, which forced Malone and the Tigers to alter their approach.
"We have a wide game that we like to play," Malone said. "We like to stretch the field and play wide and this kind of made us make some adjustments. Sometimes you come in and you're out of your element and you don't play your game and I think in the first half we weren't playing our game. We weren't playing the ball down, we weren't playing possession and we kind of lost the midfield. We made an adjustment at halftime and got the midfield back and then put some other people up top and changed the game around. We didn't let them get in our heads, which we were starting to."
Chagrin Falls improved to 3-0 overall and 1-0 in the Chagrin Division while Berkshire dropped to 2-2, 0-1.
Despite the loss, the Badgers earned respect from the Tigers.
"It was the first time for us in the top division in the CVC and the first time ever playing Chagrin for the program so I was super happy with the result," Patterson said. "It kind of proved that we belong with the rest of the teams. It was a good confidence booster for the girls to make them believe in themselves as well. It was all good things from tonight."

VISX, the laser refractive surgery manufacturer and licensor fighting to keep exclusivity on its US patents, has won a review of portions of the unfavourable decision handed down by the International Trade Commission (ITC) in December. The administrative law judge made a ruling that Japanese rival manufacturer Nidek did not infringe VISX's '418 patent. The case is due to be heard on March 6, though further appeals are likely, whatever the outcome.

One of the farmers from the bottom end of the Valley called to tell me there were a pair of white herons, Kotuku, in his paddock. He said they were together with a number, or should I say a siege, of white-faced herons.
Excitement, but I am told that "small white herons" among stock are always cattle egrets. The small size distinguishes it from the white heron. The little egret is very rare. However, when the orange-buff breeding plumes develop, identification is certain.
Cattle egrets are self introduced and are therefore deemed natives and are fully protected. They have only recently colonised New Zealand, the first birds having been seen near Christchurch in the winter of 1963 although there were many unconfirmed sightings from the 1950s. A few years ago up to 3000 or more birds were arriving from Australia each winter. Numbers were steadily increasing and it was thought eventually some would not return to Australia for breeding but remain and nest here, but for some unknown reason the numbers have been declining for the last couple of years.
During the last 50 years cattle egrets have colonised a number of new countries. Australia was only colonised in 1948 but birds are now widespread there. They are now found on all continents except Antarctica and their range is increasing, a reversal of the depressing trend which sees so many birds in decline everywhere.
There are two subspecies of cattle egret. B. ibis of Africa which has spread to South and North America, crossing from Africa to the Americas via they Guianas with the assistance of the trade winds. The larger B. coromandus of southern and eastern Asia, spread south to Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand. Their arrival here was no doubt assisted by the roaring forties.
Flocks arrive in New Zealand in late autumn usually returning to the same farm or site. They regularly walk with cattle and other domestic stock, especially sheep. They also follow the plough and are occasionally seen in estuaries. The main food in New Zealand in winter appears to be earthworms, grass grubs, crickets and other insects but they also take frogs.
No breeding colonies have been found in New Zealand although a few birds remain each summer. In Australia, cattle egrets nest in colonies often with other egrets. Nests are in trees and three white eggs are laid. Both adults incubate and feed chicks by regurgitation. Youngsters scramble onto nearby branches as early as two weeks but do not fly until six seven weeks of age.

Looking for higher quality and quantity of leads? One way to accomplish this is to have a better understanding of organizational-level considerations that drive B2B buying decisions.
In an era where marketers can gauge performance with clicks, shares, visits, comments, etc., print has inevitably suffered – because anything that can demonstrate tangible ROI has a tendency to win marketers over. To confront this challenge, the print sector pulled together a joint industry committee for mail, aimed at creating the first-ever industrywide audience standard that would allow marketers to compare print and digital marketing channels.
A new report from Vennli reveals that original research, quotes from customers and comments from industry experts are the most effective types of content to help build B2B brand trust.
Marketing automation, social media and other digital innovations are changing the way B2B buyers make decisions and advance through the buying process. New research from Forrester confirms this notion, finding that 68% of B2B buyers prefer to conduct online research on their own, and 63% of them do so using a mobile device.
As B2B marketing and buying continues to evolve, marketers need to hone in on the needs and expectations of customers – and crafting a customer experience that is personalized, empathetic and provides value.
As we know, engagement is key for social media marketers. Because algorithms reward engagement and interactions, audiences are more likely to see and respond to content based on engagement. But unlike B2C brands, many B2B brands can struggle to generate quality engagement from their content.
While it may be more challenging for B2B brands to generate engagement, there's a lot to be gained with an engaged audience, including increased search engine rankings, capturing the attention of prospects, and increasing both brand awareness and sales.
Read the original article on SocialMediaToday.
Gated B2B Content in 2019: Is it Still Important?
Often debated, gated B2B content is critical to a successful digital marketing strategy. According to a recent article on Chief Marketer, today's audiences are on to us as marketers, we have to provide value for what they're exchanging their information for.
Regardless of organizational size, many would agree that deploying a successful content marketing program can be a challenging feat. In Content Marketing Institute's latest research study, Enterprise Content Marketing 2019: Benchmarks, Budgets, and Trends—North America, found that the larger the organization, the greater chance for business units to be siloed. In fact, one of the largest challenges, with nearly three quarters of respondents admitting so, was the ability to coordinate content marketing efforts among multiple departments and brands.

Nvidia Announces List of Games With RTX Support
By Joel Hruska on August 22, 2018 at 4:02 pm
Nvidia has released a list of games with upcoming support for its new RTX ray-tracing feature, as well as a brief discussion of how that feature will be deployed in a shipping title. With a wide range of games promising support, these new features have a good initial showing for debut, though there are questions about the size of the visual fidelity improvement and the performance hit from enabling. We'll discuss those shortly.
Nvidia's default list is rather difficult to parse because it contains duplicates. We've reorganized it to show the list of PC games that support real-time ray tracing, the games that'll support Nvidia's new DLSS (Deep Learning Super-Sampling), and those titles that'll implement both capabilities:
Ray tracing is a minority feature thus far, though support for it is being integrated into three major titles (Metro Exodus, Battlefield V, Shadow of the Tomb Raider). Support for DLSS, on the other hand, is stronger, with an announced 10 games planning to implement the capability. (Six games support ray tracing, 10 will implement DLSS, and five will have both features.) There's also a larger number of AAA / heavy popular titles implementing DLSS, with FFXV, Hitman 2, PUBG, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider all using the feature. Thus far, Shadow of the Tomb Raider is the only AAA title to announce support for both features, and images from PCGamesN raise the question of how far along SotTR's implementation actually is.
RTX disabled on the left, enabled on the right. Image by PCGamesN.
But PCGamesN raised some serious concerns about just how much of a performance impact these features are going to have, writing:
[I]t's tough not to be a little concerned when the ultra-expensive, ultra-enthusiast RTX 2080 Ti isn't able to hit 60fps at 1080p in Shadow of the Tomb Raider. We weren't able to see what settings the game was running at as the options screens were cut down in the build we were capturing, but GeForce Experience was capturing at the game resolution and the RTX footage we have is 1080p.
With the FPS counter on in GFE we could see the game batting between 33fps and 48fps as standard throughout our playthrough and that highlights just how intensive real-time ray tracing can be on the new GeForce hardware… While the shadows in my play-time did look pretty good, in that brightly lit instance it's hard to see where they look that much better than the traditional way that shadows are faked in-game. And to enable the ray traced shadows you're obviously having to pay a huge performance penalty for the privilege.
As PCGamesN notes, this an early game build running on early drivers on hardware that isn't launched yet. Given this, it's entirely reasonable to extend Nvidia some runway room to improve final performance. But even allowing for this, 33-48fps on a $1,200 GPU running at 1080p is not reasonable by any objective measure. Performance doesn't just need to improve — it needs to double or triple at 1080p for the game to have a prayer of running well in 4K at the same frame rate.
PCGamesN writes that while Battlefield V looks impressive as hell with ray tracing enabled, again, there's a huge performance hit for doing so. The game was still running in 1080p, and while no frame rate counter was shown, they claim they'd bet BF5 isn't hitting 60fps, either. Again, for a $1200 GPU to struggle to maintain a 60fps smooth frame rate in 1080p is at least mildly surprising — even when we allow for the early state of adoption. And it's more important that BFV deliver high frame rates than pretty pictures, given the priority competitive gamers put on robust performance.
We're explicitly not recommending that gamers look at these early results and conclude that Nvidia's ray tracing technology is DOA. The cards won't ship for a month, and all footage is early, with early drivers. But by the same token, the basic purpose of a GPU launch is to establish that your GPUs will deliver better performance and more features in next-generation titles. Nvidia has definitely demonstrated some visual milestones, but its own $1,200 GPUs are gasping to deliver them. Its performance in current games isn't known, but the math doesn't look good.
In short, instead of writing about how the math behind Pascal virtually guarantees a huge performance uplift over Maxwell (which is the situation we were in back in 2016), we're telling you that the basic math doesn't point in Turing's favor at all. In order to deliver the kind of proportional uplift it offered in 2016, Nvidia will need to have sharply increased GPU IPC or found other methods of boosting efficiency. And no matter what, you're going to pay more for these GPUs than you did last generation (assuming you bought at MSRP).
We won't know if Nvidia actually pulled this off for a few weeks yet, and ExtremeTech recommends refraining from preorders until these questions are settled, even if that means waiting for the cards to launch. Nvidia may have delivered substantial performance improvements in addition to its new ray tracing technology, but the company has shown no benchmarks to demonstrate that it has done so.

The Reconciliation of All Things: Please pray with us.
Hello all! Praise our God that Noah, our son, has arrived! At 7:15 on the dot, Wednesday evening, he arrived! It was a normal birth, and Becky did great! Noah was born two weeks early at weighed in at 7lbs. 12oz., and was 19 1/2 inches long! Glad we didn't wait two more weeks! He'd be a bit large! I'd hate to be the one pushing! I was there through it all--and I was thinking I'd pass out! But we have a prayer request for you.
Noah breast-fed for a short while after he was born, but within 40 minutes, we noticed he was getting colder, turning blue and purple, especially on the extremities. So we asked for another blanket to change the one he was in, which was a bit damp. Our nurse never got the message. However, she DID have this feeling that something was wrong specifically in our room, and she came in to check. Once she saw Noah, she knew something was wrong. She took him from me, put him down on the baby "warmer/incubator", and quickly called in the NICU team (Newborn Intensive Care Unit). Within 30 seconds they were in there, even less, working on him. Later, what we found out was that he had stopped breathing on his own for some reason. Anyhow, the NICU team started doing CPR on him, pumping his chest and breathing for him. Within a few minutes that seemed like an eternity, they got his breathing going with a respirator and took him up to the NICU floor. They did all this in our room, and I turned away from it to block Becky's view from the bed, and I reminded her (and myself) that our God is great, and that our God is good. Our God is a God of miracles, he can bring people back to life...he can take life too. We prayed like we've never prayed before, as most if not all some of you parents out there understand, with groanings we utter because we have no words to say. We thought we had lost Noah, and our thoughts were all over the place. The blame one can place on themselves for allowing something like this to happen...but I reminded Becky that she's never been a mom, and I've never been a dad. There's nothing we did wrong or could have done differently to prevent what happened 40 minutes after his birth. Eventually, the NICU team told us that they don't think his heart ever stopped beating, but he HAD stopped breathing for a period of time, we're just not sure how long...but long enough to turn blue and purple at the extremities.
So they put him on a respirator, and had all kinds of tubes in him...and then, and hour and a half later, he pulled out his own respirator!! This guy is STRONG! He WANTS TO LIVE! He has been breathing on his own since then, while they did all kinds of tests on him. He is a strong boy! He takes after his mother---and father too I guess.. :-) All the tests have so far come back completely normal, he's a strong baby! The one thing we found is that he has pretty bad reflux! Anything that goes in, comes up to the vocal cords and makes him gag--stopping his breathing! This is likely the cause of the incident once he was born. 13 out of 100 babies are born with this condition. So now we're trying different medications for him, and if all else fails, he's have surgery--a normal procedure. He hasn't been able to breast feed since that first time Weds. night, which is difficult for Becky, but we'll continue praying. Will you too?? Please, do.
Through it all, we know our great God is in control--He is the One who brought us Noah, and Noah belongs to God. He never was ours, and never will be completely ours. He is God's--isn't that what we are supposed to do as parents? Wow, interesting how God's teaching us lessons so quickly! God is GOOD! We are thankful for Noah's life, and ask you to praise God with us! If you don't have a personal relationship with God through Jesus, I don't know how you'd get through something like this. We are finally at peace now, and able to get some more rest. I haven't included all the details, since there is so much going on. But please, do pray, and give thanks to our God. We will keep you posted, and check our website (http://bachellerfamily.blogspot.com) for more details, it's easier than emailing everyone!
Thanks! May God be with you as He has been with us during this time.
Ben (for Becky and Noah).

Respect views of Nigerians on hate speech bill, governors tell NASS
The Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF) on Wednesday night advised the National Assembly to hold a public hearing on the hate speech bill to ensure that views of Nigerians were captured in the passage of the bill.
The Sokoto State Governor, Aminu Tambuwal, stated this while fielding questions from journalists at the end of the forum's meeting held on Wednesday night in Abuja.
Tambuwal, who is also the Vice-Chairman of the Forum, said: "I am not sure I have heard any governor come out to say he is in support of the death penalty for hate speech.
"I believe the National Assembly should hold a public hearing on that bill, so that due process of lawmaking is followed. So that the views of Nigerians, not just the governors will be well captured on that bill.
"They should respect the views of Nigerians in whatever may be the direction of debate and the eventual passage or otherwise of that bill."
On the governors' position on the Finance Bill submitted to the NASS by President Muhammadu Buhari to increase Value Added Tax (VAT) from five to 7.5. percent, Tambuwal appealed for more understanding with the Federal Government on the issue.
He said the governors were in support of what would improve the revenue generation drive of both the federal and state governments.
He added: "We are appealing to those who probably have no proper understanding of the contexts of that bill to kindly have a rethink of them and reflect on the quantum of work ahead of us.
"As a country and states, we need a lot of resources to turn around infrastructure, to invest in education, healthcare and every sector of our national life.
"There is urgent need for more revenue in Nigeria. So, I appeal that we should show more understanding with the federal government in that regard."
On the December deadline for the implementation of minimum wage issued by the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) to state governors, Tambuwal said the various states were engaging labour unions on the issue.
"I am sure it is work in progress. Before December all the states must have finished working out the details on the issue of minimum wage across the federation," the Sokoto governor concluded.

Q: React testing library with redux-form issue Having an issue trying to test redux-forms components.  I keep getting an error  FormSection must be inside a component decorated with reduxForm() Here is test code.
import { createStore, combineReducers } from 'redux';
import { Provider } from 'react-redux';
import { reducer as formReducer } from 'redux-form';
import { render, screen, cleanup, fireEvent} from '@testing-library/react'
import "@testing-library/jest-dom";
import ContactInformation from '../components/FormSections/ContactInformation'

// Create a reducer that includes the form reducer from redux-form
const rootReducer = combineReducers({
  form: formReducer,
});

const store = createStore(rootReducer);

const renderContactInformation = () => {
  render(
    <Provider store={store}>
      <ContactInformation />
    </Provider>,
  )
}

describe("<ContactInformation />", () => {
  test('it should render fields', () => {
    renderContactInformation()
    const input = screen.getByLabelText("email")
    console.log(input)
        }
      )

})

any thoughts?  These seems like it should work but I think I am at a lost or perhaps I just confused my self.  Any help will greatly be appreciated.
