The Orlando Shooting: Fear and Pride and a History of Violence
Omar Mateen didn't just want to kill Americans. He wanted to kill us. He's not the first.
Mike Hofman
Fifty are dead in Orlando, and 53 are injured, in the worst mass shooting in American history. The suspect, it is reported, identified himself as a supporter of ISIS in a 911 call to police. Some will look at this attack and see a connection to the horror that occurred at the Bataclan nightclub in Paris in November, while others will see the Boston Marathon or San Bernadino. It's a sad truth that we have no shortage of incidents with which to compare this latest heartache.
The LGBT community will see all of these connections, plus a few more. The shooter wanted to kill Americans, and he knew exactly which group he would kill when he walked into Pulse, a large, gay nightclub in Orlando. It was us.
June is Pride month, a time for gay people to celebrate progress, acceptance, love, and equality. Pride was invented to counteract the repression and fear that has always targeted the gay community. After the triumph of marriage equality, the idea that gay people, at least in America, had reached some safe, new plateau had a certain appeal. But as many of us rolled over in bed and checked our phones this morning to see all those horrible alerts and notifications, we were reminded that there will always be hostility to us in this world.
In trying to create a safe haven for gay people, Pride events and clubs like Pulse have always been magnets for violence. In fact, one of the deadliest crimes in U.S. history was an attack on a gay bar in New Orleans. In June 1973, 32 people were killed in a suspected arson attack on the UpStairs Lounge in the French Quarter. The incident, on the final night of the still-nascent Pride celebrations, was treated at the time with callous indifference by the local media and is largely forgotten today. Those 32 people (31 men, 1 woman) who died in a most brutal way had been active in the city's Metropolitan Community Church. Some of their bodies went unclaimed by family members, and some ministers refused to bury the dead. Such were the attitudes towards gay people at the time, which was not that long ago.
Should We Get Used to Mass Shootings?
Michael Paterniti
Gay clubs and parties no longer play the central role in gay life they once did. It's a cliche to say that apps like Scruff and Grindr have replaced gay bars, but there's some truth to it. When you have supportive straight friends and a phone full of hookup potential, you don't need a physical place to anchor either your social life or your sex life. (And if you do, it's more apt to be the gym than a club.)
Yet explicitly gay spaces still matter, especially in communities where being gay—openly gay, walking-down-the-street-with-a-pack-of-laughing-friends gay—is still an act of defiance, and therefore courage.
There were reportedly more than 300 people at Pulse on Saturday night. It was Latin night, and the music was loud and throbbing, so loud that at first, as the DJ told the Orlando Sentinel, he didn't recognizes the noises as gunshots—a detail that anyone who has been to a circuit party will understand.
It's worth noting that hope and progress, however fragile, are also present today.
In the months to come, we'll learn more about who the shooter was and why he pledged himself to a warped purpose in life. For law enforcement officials and policymakers, it will be important to nail down the facts. The killer—who he was, what he sought to achieve through violence—matters. ISIS has treated gay people in the Middle East with appalling cruelty, throwing them from the roofs of buildings and leaving their broken bodies to rot in the sun. The conundrum of how to address ISIS without being drawn into an asymmetrical quagmire remains the most pressing question in American foreign policy.
The tragedy in Orlando is devastating; there is no other description, and even that word fails. But it's worth noting that hope and progress, however fragile, are also present today. We can take some solace in that. When those 32 people died in New Orleans, law enforcement officials did not respond with the humanity and professionalism we saw in Orlando last night. No flags were lowered in their honor and no elected official, least of all the President of the United States, offered condolences to their families and the LGBT community. We—gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgender people, anyone who considers themselves queer in any way, and Americans as a whole—live in a better, kinder, more tolerant society today than we did when the first Pride events were held 46 years ago.
Unfortunately, there are people in this world who see this progress, and their instinct is to try to tear it apart.
Harvey Milk prophetically said, "If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door." It would be something if, to mourn those 50 people lost in Orlando, our political leaders unified around that cause.

Pride Is More Complicated Than Ever

Published on Al-Ahram weekly online, by Dina Ezzat, Nov. 8, 2012.
In what amounts to a conditional vote of confidence for President Mohamed Morsi in the midst of an extremely challenging political quagmire, Mohamed Hassanein Heikal, the number one political commentator in the country said that it is unwise for demonstrators to chant "down, down with Morsi". This said, Heikal, whose disagreements with political Islam are only too evident, blamed Morsi, albeit in subtle language, for the current state of affairs.
For Heikal, Morsi is still a legitimate president. "He clearly has the legitimacy of the ballot box, and I would say that this legitimacy could only fall by crimes committed and not by mistakes — even some huge mistakes," Heikal said.
Heikal was speaking to the flagship programme of CBC's Hona Al-Assema (This is the Capital). The station was never supportive of Morsi and whose anchor Lamis Hadidi, like almost every other anchor on this two-year old satellite channel, showed unmasked support for Morsi's presidential adversary during the elections, Ahmed Shafik, the last prime minister of ousted president Hosni Mubarak.
The president, Heikal suggested, could, among other options, refer the draft of the constitution to an advisory board which would provide feedback before, not after the referendum, as Vice President Mahmoud Mekki had proposed on Tuesday evening when he proposed a national dialogue over the matter – but only after the referendum. "You cannot extend an invitation for a dialogue if something has turned into an accomplished fact," Heikal said.
The Hadidi interview was aired less than an hour before national TV broadcast a statement by President Morsi whereby he offered to host a national dialogue on Saturday "exactly at 12:30pm".
A dialogue, Heikal insisted, was only one of the things that he said Morsi needs to consider to reduce the tension that has been unfolding. Other moves to "open windows for an exit", Heikal argued, are left to the president and his aides to consider, taking into consideration that the opposition facing Morsi's recent decisions goes way beyond the 5,000 people that he said the president estimated were defying him.
Foreign influence, Heikal argued, is not the only factor deciding the scenario of the next day but it is a decisive factor, as is the declining state of the economy.
The Islamist demonstrations around the High Constitutional Court were also very symbolic for Heikal. For him, it recalled the history book accounts of the day the German Parliament was burnt down in 1933 following the electoral victory of Adolf Hitler. Heikal promptly noted, "of course the Muslim Brotherhood are not the Nazis and Morsi is not Hitler".

Lessons from Lasso — Army Men to Keep You Safe

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 6:34 — 12.0MB)
All around the world, one thing that is perhaps as common as the love of the Beautiful Game is a desire for peace; a desire for safety and security — and sometimes football affords us a sense of this in the confines of the game. But in the elite levels and the business practices in the football industry, there's a lot of fighting, back-stabbing, and more that goes on.
Today, on the From the Touchline podcast, in lesson 14 Rev Brad looks at Ted Lasso's "gift" of a little plastic green army man and the hopeful representation that somehow it will afford a type of protection from the wild and dangerous side of football. Peace is something that we all might hope for and desire, but in truth, the only giver of a peace that goes beyond comprehension is found in the person of Jesus.
Ted Lasso, the immensely popular streaming TV show in its second season on Apple TV+ features the antics and quirky, 'Ted Lasso' character brought to life in his own TV show series. Lasso first appeared a number of years ago as a comedic character as NBC purchased the broadcast rights to the English Premier League. Played by Jason Sudeikis, Lasso (as a coach) brings change to the difficult football (soccer) team that he has traveled overseas to coach.
In the 'Lessons from Lasso' series, Rev Brad looks at some of the different life learning points brought up in the show from a chaplain's point of view.
From the Touchline is a short-feature (usually 10-15 min) podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer.
Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer).

Environment Minister Greg Hunt says the federal government's "green bank" may be allowed to invest in new wind farm technology, in another sign the Coalition's war on renewable energy is winding down.
Speaking on ABC radio on Tuesday, Mr Hunt said "emerging" wind power such as new turbines or offshore wind farms may be eligible for funding from the Clean Energy Finance Corporation.
The position diverges from the government's controversial order in July, under former prime minister Tony Abbott, that the $10 billion corporation could not invest in wind power projects.
The directive was issued by then treasurer Joe Hockey and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann – reportedly angering Mr Hunt, who was not told of the move.
It followed a government deal with anti-wind power crossbenchers in June that stipulated the corporation's funds would be directed towards "emerging" renewable technologies, which was widely interpreted as a death knell for wind power investment.
But on Tuesday Mr Hunt said the deal was "not a blanket ban on technologies".
"It would ... focus on things such as solar, geothermal, and if there are emerging components in relation to wind such as new turbines or offshore wind, that might be an appropriate [investment]," Mr Hunt said.
"I think we've found a very sensible, balanced, middle ground going forward."
Under the draft directive, "extant" wind technology was banned from investment. There were fears that this meant technology which existed overseas, but had not yet been introduced to Australia, would not be eligible for support, however Mr Hunt's comments suggest this would not be the case.
Clean Energy Council policy manager Alicia Webb said loans issued by the Clean Energy Finance Corporation reduced risk and unlocked additional finance from mainstream lenders, who may not traditionally lend to renewable energy developers.
"With a mandate to make a return on investment, excluding wind projects doesn't make a lot of sense, given they are one of the more proven renewable energy technologies that can provide a highly bankable return," she said.
The renewable energy sector has been buoyed by the Coalition's recent insistence, under Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, that the industry will be a key player in the government's energy platform.
On Tuesday Mr Hunt said the industry "should have confidence... what has changed is a greater emphasis on confidence and on innovation in the renewable sector".
However Mr Turnbull is under pressure from his party's conservative elements not to change course on climate change policy.
The Clean Energy Finance Corporation and the Australian Renewable Energy Agency have been brought into the environment ministry, however the government is yet to reverse its position on abolishing them altogether, and Mr Cormann remains a "shareholder" in the agencies and will have some say over their future.
Mr Hunt said on Tuesday that bringing the agencies into his portfolio would mean they were co-ordinated with the government's climate policies.
In particular, it would help ensure the government meets its renewable energy target.
Should the government allow the corporation to invest in new wind technology, it will likely face hostility from crossbench senators such as David Leyonhjelm. He insists the government's promise to direct efforts towards emerging renewable energy technologies excludes "mature technologies of wind and small scale solar".
"If the government were to renege on its commitment, this would not bode well for crossbench support for further government initiatives," he told Fairfax Media last week.

Anca Parvulescu
Professor of English
Pronouns: she/her/hers
PhD, University of Minnesota
Email: ancaparvulescu@wustl.edu
Office: Duncker 213
Anca Parvulescu's research and teaching interests include international modernism, affect theory, literary and critical theory, comparative literature, and visual culture.
Professor Parvulescu is the author of Laughter: Notes on a Passion (MIT, 2010), The Traffic in Women's Work: East European Migration and the Making of Europe (University of Chicago Press, 2014), and Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania across Empires (forthcoming, Cornell University Press).
Professor Parvulescu is currently at work on her fourth book, Modernist Faces: Physiognomy and Facial Form. Prompted by recent debates about facial recognition technology and masking during the COVID pandemic, the book traces a cultural history of the face.
Laughter: Notes on a Passion (MIT Press, 2010) shows how literary and philosophical texts, in dialogue with conduct books and visual culture, produce a modern normative aesthetics of the smiling face as an alternative to the contorted face in laughter. The book is an attempt to extricate laughter from theories of the comic, humor, jokes, the grotesque etc, and redirect our attention to the burst of laughter itself. What kind of subjects are we when we laugh?
The Traffic in Women's Work: East European Migration and the Making of Europe (University of Chicago Press, 2014) is an intervention in the heated debate on the making and unmaking of Europe in the wake of 1989. It argues that the critical project of pluralizing Europe needs to account for the Europe brought together through the circulation of East European women's labor. Reading recent cinematic texts that critically frame this labor, the book shows East European migrant women, alongside women from the global South, becoming responsible for the biopolitical labor of reproduction, whether they work as domestics, nannies, nurses, sex workers, or wives.
Co-auhored with Manuela Boatca, Creolizing the Modern: Transylvania across Empires (forthcoming, Cornell University Press) was supported by an ACLS Collaborative Research Fellowship. The book places Transylvania in inter-related debates in World Literature, World History and World-Systems Analysis. How does "the world" look like from the vantage point of a small village in Transylvania? The project places this multi-ethnic and multilingual region in a comparative framework that yields a fresh perspective on comparatism.
Professor Parvulescu's articles have been published in PMLA, New Literary History, Critical Inquiry, Literature Compass, Interventions, Camera Obscura.
Most recently, she has been at work on a cluster of articles on the history of literary comparatism: "Istanbul, Capital of Comparative Literature"; "(Dis)Counting Languages: Between Hugo Meltzl and Liviu Rebreanu"; and "The World of World Literature and World-Systems Analysis."
One of Professor Parvulescu's recent courses is "The First Modern Novel," a survey of novels considered "the first modern novel" around the world: Mohammed Hussein Haikal's Zainab in Egypt, Futabatei Shimei's Ukigumo in Japan, Rabindranath Tagore's Chokher Bali in India, Lu Xun's Diary of a Madman in China, and Liviu Rebreanu's Ion in Romania.

The Traffic in Women's Work
By Anca Parvulescu
"Welcome to the European family!" When East European countries joined the European Union under this banner after 1989, they agreed to the free movement of goods, services, capital, and persons. In this book, Anca Parvulescu analyzes an important niche in this imagined European kinship: the traffic in women, or the circulation of East European women in West Europe in marriage and as domestic servants, nannies, personal attendants, and entertainers. Analyzing film, national policies, and an impressive range of work by theorists from Giorgio Agamben to Judith Butler, she develops a critical lens through which to think about the transnational continuum of "women's work."
Parvulescu revisits Claude Lévi-Strauss's concept of kinship and its rearticulation by second-wave feminists, particularly Gayle Rubin, to show that kinship has traditionally been anchored in the traffic in women. Reading recent cinematic texts that help frame this, she reveals that in contemporary Europe, East European migrant women are exchanged to engage in labor customarily performed by wives within the institution of marriage. Tracing a pattern of what she calls Americanization, Parvulescu argues that these women thereby become responsible for the labor of reproduction. A fascinating cultural study as much about the consequences of the enlargement of the European Union as women's mobility, The Traffic in Women's Work questions the foundations of the notion of Europe today.

Raising your own chickens can be very rewarding. They provide companionship and an almost constant supply of eggs during their laying season. Ours come to us when we call them and the ones we've raised from chickens will sit in my daughter's lap to be petted.
That said, it's very important to choose the right breed of chicken for your lifestyle. Every chicken has its own unique needs and personality. What you need for your area will depend on space available, climate, whether you want them for meat or egg production, egg color preference, whether you want them to go broody (hatch their own eggs), whether you'd like to show them and how close your neighbors are. Here are a few things to think about.
1. Space available - All chickens need somewhere to roost (sleep) at night. For most, this is a chicken coop. Chickens that are left wild to roost risk becoming prey of local predators. They also need to be protected during inclement weather (snow, rain, heat). The size of the coop you have available or the room in your backyard will determine whether you want a large breed like a Rhode Island Red or a banty or miniature breed. Larger breeds take up more room than smaller breeds.
2. Climate - Just like people, certain breeds of chickens do better in the heat or cold than others. A few breeds that are very cold hardy and will do well in places with cold winters are Ameraucana, Black Australorp, and Rhode Island Red. We're in Vermont and have a combination of these three breeds and they do quite well. Heat tolerant breeds include Brahma, Catalana and Leghorn.
3. Eggs or meat - All chickens lay eggs and all chickens can be used for meat but some are better suited than others. When purchasing a chicken make sure to either choose a layer or a meat bird depending on your needs. A chicken in her prime will lay one egg a day during the warm months. They generally stop laying in the winter because they need to use the extra energy to keep warm.
4. Egg color preference - What color egg a chicken lays is dependent on the color of the chicken. There's no difference in taste or nutritional value. If you want white eggs, go for a white breed like the Leghorn. If you want brown eggs, choose a Rhode Island Red or other dark color bird. Some breeds like the Ameraucana and the Araucana lay multi colored eggs (light blue and light green) which is why they're called the Easter Egg chickens.
5. Broodiness - Some breeds of chickens are more or less likely to want to sit on their eggs to hatch the next generation of chickens. If you have dreams of your hens raising a new flock, make sure you choose a breed that is most likely to go broody like an Araucana or Brahma. Chickens will lay less and less as they age so if you want a constant supply of eggs you will need to hatch more or purchase new chicks every few years.
6. Show Birds - Chickens can be gorgeous with beautiful coloring, boots (feathers around the feet), beards, and gorgeous tail feathers. Generally speaking the fancier a chicken, the less cold hardy it is.
7. Neighbors - All chickens make noise. Yes, the rooster is louder but if you have dreams of hiding your chickens from your neighbors who live a stones throw from your house, you're not going to have much luck. If you do have neighbors who might not want to be woken up at 4:30 in the morning by a rooster, go with just hens. Hens do not need a rooster to lay an egg. They only need a rooster if you want them to lay an egg that is fertile and can be hatched. Temperament is important too. Some birds are more nervous than others. Leghorns are a very nervous breed and tend to be more vocal in my experience. Don't mix sizes as the larger birds will probably pick on the smaller birds which makes a lot of noise.
Check with your local feed store to find out what type of bird is most common in your area. If you're going to buy chicks, you will need to have heat lamps and keep them inside in the beginning. I've found this a lot of work but if you only have a few birds, this may work well for you. Chicks probably won't lay until they are close to a year old and in the beginning the eggs are quite small. Once they become pullets (about a year old), they will start to lay more regularly. Don't forget to check with local laws about raising poultry. Sadly, some places don't allow you to raise chickens. Most of all, enjoy them!
My parents had some extra space (suburb) growing up, they let a high school 4-H'er keep his chickens off the fenced garden area. He used to show, they won Grand Champion at the State Fair too. Always comical to help wash and blow dry them before the judging. They were really nice, even the 2 roosters were sweet (each had a really cute beard), a lot of fun, and layed great organic eggs. ...so hard to go back to store bought. They also loved to eat all the kitchen scraps, so we were green in that sense too. oh! chickens loooove pretty painted pedicured toenails so highly recommend not wearing sandals when collecting eggs. Thanks for posting this article, it's been a few years, brought back good memories.


On this page you will find our articles about the characteristics of betting on individual sports.
While there are some obvious larger and more popular sports around the world which are bet upon more so than others, the more sports that you understand, the more you can go out and try to beat the bookie. Football, Tennis and Golf are some of the larger markets which generally take precedence, especially at UK bookmakers, but options at sportsbooks online will go a lot broader than that.
In this section you will be able to find guides to different sports that you will come across in online betting, and some tips on how to potentially enjoy some successful betting on them.
Even the most popular online sports have markets running very deep in them, and are certainly more expansive than the straight forward outright winner market. In depth markets like goalscorer options, score options and even down to how many corners there may be in a match may all be explored. Not only that, there are many different types of soccer markets, from matches, to managerial positions, to relegation, promotion and title winning options. This example pretty much fits any sports that you care to look at, there will be markets beyond picking a winner which will prove valuable to understand.
Tennis, Rugby, Golf and Formula One make up very strong markets as well in UK online betting, but sport is a global affair and therefore there is no need to be limited to European action. US sports betting is a massive market as well, with the likes of NHL and NFL attracting major betting action, gain some knowledge of breaking in on the action. What are the popular bets there? What systems do they use?
Expanding your knowledge of different sports betting will certainly give you an edge. When a big event comes up, be it Boxing, Darts, Snooker, UFC or anything else, at least with our helpful guides, you will be able to place a confident wager.

Senior quarterback Darius McClendon had a career high 253 yards rushing to propel the Falcons over the Jupiter Warriors 26-21 in week 7 of Palm Beach County High School Football.
West Palm Beach, FL- Senior quarterback Darius McClendon and the Falcons varsity football team found themselves in uncharted waters on Friday night against the Jupiter Warriors. The Falcons trailed the Warriors 21-19 on the road at Jupiter and had a critical 4th down inside the Warriors 20 yard line with just 49 seconds left to go in the game. McClendon bought some time out of the pocket by scrambling from would be tacklers and lofted the game winning touchdown pass to fell senior Chaz Eaton. McClendon finished the game with a career high 253 yards rushing and a rushing touchdown to go along with the game winning touchdown pass. Through 6 games, McClendon has rushed for 623 yards and 10 touchdowns for the 6-0 Falcons.


Let's say you have an element with a background-image, where only part of the image is visible, because the image is bigger than the element itself. The rest is cropped away, outside the element.
Now you want to move that background-image such that you're focusing the center of the element on a specific point in it. You also want to do that with percentage values rather than pixels. We're going to have to get clever.
This is going to involve some math.
See the Pen Background Focus: no position by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
Now let's say we want to align a specific point on the image with the center of that element. Say, the point at 300px in from the left.
See the Pen Background Focus: pixel position by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
It takes a second to figure out, but it's nothing too taxing. You could have probably figured that out intuitively without needing to use a formula.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (1st attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
Hm. That didn't work at all. Maybe we need to use a positive value?
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (2nd attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (3rd attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
Let's back up. What happens if we do this?
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (4th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
That feels like it kind of makes sense; background-position-x: 100%; makes the background-image flush-right and centered at 700px, or 7/8 the width of the image. But what if we wanted to center it at 100%? I guess we'd have to do... 9/8?
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (5th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
At this point, I'm not surprised that didn't work.
This doesn't feel like the right path. Let's back up.
For example, with a value pair of '0% 0%', the upper left corner of the image is aligned with the upper left corner of, usually, the box's padding edge. A value pair of '100% 100%' places the lower right corner of the image in the lower right corner of the area. With a value pair of '75% 50%', the point 75% across and 50% down the image is to be placed at the point 75% across and 50% down the area.
Maybe we can reverse-engineer this.
On that last one, 112.5%, it was aligning the point at 112.5% across the background-image with the point at 112.5% across the bounding box. That kind makes sense. The spec seems written to make it easy for only three values: 0%, 50%, and 100%. Any other value isn't so intuitive.
With background-position-x: 0;, we were focused on 100px, or 12.5%. With background-position-x: 100%;, we were focused on 700px, or 87.5%. How does background-position-x: 50%; look, exactly?
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (6th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
50% is kind of like our "anchor" here; it's the point at which our desired focal point and the corresponding background-position-x values are equal.
Let's pretend we want to focus on 700px or 87.5%. We go 100% of the way from the center: 50% + 50%.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (7th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
Whew! So to focus on the rightmost edge of a background-image that is 4 times the size of our bounding box, we need to set background-position-x: 116.667%;.
How the heck are we supposed to figure that out?
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (8th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
If we wanted to focus on the leftmost edge, we'd probably subtract 16.667% from 0%, right? That sounds like it could be right.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (9th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
To focus at 100% or 0%, you have to "overshoot" those values by a certain amount, when measured from the center.
So if we want to focus on 0%, or "100% of the way to the left of the center," we have to subtract 66.667% from 50%. If we want to focus on 100%, or "100% of the way to the right of the center," we have to add 66.667% to 50%.
I might have expected to have to add or subtract 50% to or from 50% to get to those edges: a 1:1 ratio of "how far I want to go from the center" to "what my background-position-x value should be." But instead, we have to use a 4:3 ratio. In other words, we have to use a value four-thirds more "away from the center."
So we take a focal point's distance from the center (c − 50), multiply it by 4/3, then add that result to "the center," or 50.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (10th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (11th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (12th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
Oh my god. It works!
Can we generalize this even more?
What if we wanted to align the point at 25% of the background-image with the point at 75% of the bounding box? Yikes!
b: Desired focal point (in percent) from the leftmost edge of the bounding box. Earlier we had assumed this to always be 50% so that the center of the bounding box would be focused on our target in the background-image.
d: background-image focal point (in percent) to align to bounding box's midpoint in order to get c to align to b in the bounding box; if d of the background-image aligns with 50% of the bounding box, then c of the background-image will align with b of the bounding box.
To want to align position c of a background-image with position b of a bounding box is to want to align some other position, d, of a background-image with the center of the bounding box - and we already know how to do that. So can we figure out a way to derive d, the spot we need to be at 50%, from c, b, and z? Sure!
With our 800px wide background-image, in a 200px-wide bounding box (z = 4), if we want to focus the rightmost edge of the bounding box (b = 100%) on the position at 600px (c = 75%) in the image, we would want the center of the bounding box to be focused on the point at 500px (d = 62.5%).
How do we get from c (75%) to d (62.5%)? Where does that -12.5% difference come from?
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (13th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (14th attempt) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
Looks good enough to me!
I'm sure there is something intuitive about this to certain types of people, but I am not one of those people.
Let's build a Sass function that will do all this ridiculous math for us.
See the Pen Background Focus: percentage (final Sass function) by Jay (@jsit) on CodePen.
When I began tackling this problem I did not expect it to be this difficult, but what a journey. I hope guiding you through my thought process has been enlightening, and that you may at some point find value in our little Sass function.
All the Pens embedded in this article can be found in this collection.
Hm, nice thought, but it doesn't seem to me like that would help. I haven't used the four-value syntax, but as far as I can tell it only allows you to specify the bottom or right as alternative origins, but has no benefit for using percentages for the position.
Ok, last time I tried this, I "trialed and errored" for a while (a long one). Your formula is quite effective, actually and make totally sense to me. Cool.
Thanks for the thoughts and the sharing.
I had to work out something similar for myself a few months back. Basically, I needed to figure out what percentages to apply to a background image in order to ensure the portion of the image the user selected previously was indeed being shown.
Hey, nice to see this getting some momentum – been using this for spritemaps for quite some time – works on older browsers, too. You'll find articles on this reaching back something like 10 years, but the tricky part is including this efficiently in a larger workflow.

Signet Jewelers (SIG): Here's a look at the jewelry retailer's near-term expectations
For the third quarter of 2023, the company expects total revenue to range between $1.46-1.49 billion
Shares of Signet Jewelers Ltd. (NYSE: SIG) were up 1.4% on Thursday. The stock has dropped 35% year-to-date and 27% over the past 12 months. The company saw sales and earnings decline for its second quarter of 2023 as macroeconomic pressures impacted spending on discretionary items like jewelry. Here's a look at the jewelry retailer's near term expectations:
Signet reported total sales of $1.8 billion for the second quarter of 2023, which were down 1.9% compared to the same period in 2022. Sales were up 29% from Q2 2020 which was the company's pre-pandemic base. Same-store sales were down 8.2% versus Q2 2022.
During the quarter the company saw that the customers shopping at lower price points were the most hit by inflation. In general, jewelry price points below $500 and $1000 were negatively impacted. On the other hand, higher price point items saw more strength, with outperformance in sentimental items like engagement rings and anniversary bands that are over $1000.
Looking ahead, Signet expects to face headwinds from inflation and anticipates a shift in consumer spending away from jewelry to more experience-oriented categories. For the third quarter of 2023, the company expects total revenue to range between $1.46-1.49 billion. For fiscal year 2023, revenues are expected to be $7.60-7.70 billion.
In Q2 2023, Signet delivered GAAP EPS of $2.58, which was down from $3.60 in the same period last year. Adjusted EPS was $2.68, down from $3.57 in Q2 2022. The company reported GAAP operating income of $186.8 million, which was down from $225.4 million in Q2 2022. Adjusted operating income was $193.2 million, which was down from $223 million in the year-ago period.
For the third quarter of 2023, Signet expects operating income of $20-34 million. For fiscal year 2023, the company expects operating income to range between $787-828 million and diluted EPS to range between $10.98-11.57.
General trends
Signet has seen strong growth in the bridal category with revenue increases in high price point items. The company's bridal share is currently estimated at around 30% and it believes it is well-positioned to take advantage of the potential in this area.
On its quarterly conference call, Signet said that 2.5 million weddings are expected to take place in 2022. As per its data, jewelry represents 43% of the gifts shared at wedding-related celebrations, making it a $1.9 billion opportunity in the US. Weddings and other related events are great opportunities for gifting which in turn benefits jewelry retailers like Signet.

Signet Jewelers (SIG): Here's a look at the headwinds and tailwinds this jewelery retailer faces


Here at the Hope House there is never a quiet moment, that is unless everyone is asleep! Since beginning here in May we have had about a dozen children in and out of the home. At this time we have six children in the home. Their ages range from 5 to 15. Even with the busy schedule and never-ending changes it is our goal to always be a FAMILY first.
We have a 7 year old of our own and have learned not to change our lives for the new children. It has been much easier for everyone for us to help them adjust and learn our family ways. It includes taking on responsibilities such as age appropriate chores, keeping their rooms clean, and cleaning up after themselves. It is a joy and at times a challenge for us to help these children settle down and assume a normal household schedule and routine especially since most of them have poor sleep, discipline, education and nutritional habits.
We believe some of the most important things that we have to offer the children who come into the home are unconditional love, acceptance, structure, boundaries, and consequences for one's actions. The best thing about being a parent here at the Hope House is to see these very special children begin to laugh, smile, and overcome the obstacles that have kept them from the joy and success that every child should be able to experience.
It is our pleasure and joy to be the parents here at Hope House. We want to say Thank You to the Hope House Board, the Rotary Club of Jasper, and the community for their continuing support for the children who come to stay in the home and for making our family a part of yours.

With the first home game of the 2017 season only a week away, the stately oaks of LSU's campus are soon to be shading more than just inspiring halls as tiger fans prepare their tents and RVs for the start of Louisiana's tastiest tradition, Tiger tailgating. As an LSU alum, reigning tailgate champion and local chef turned celebrity Jay Ducote is something of an expert on football festivities. However, according to Ducote, you don't have to be a seasoned pro to create the best tailgate on the Parade Grounds.
Ducote says that since tradition lies at the heart of LSU culture, pick a Louisiana favorite dish, such as gumbo or jambalaya, to whip up while the party is going. Or, if you are feeling adventurous, Jay suggests you give your guests a true taste of Tiger bait by cooking up the opponent's mascot for special rivalries such as Florida and Arkansas. Fried gator and roasted pig are crowd pleasers that are sure to get everyone ready for victory.
No party is complete (or really even started) without some specialty drinks, and according to Jay, "If you aren't tailgating with craft beer from Louisiana, you're not doing it right." With tons of new local brews, skip the same old beer and treat yourself and your guests to beverages made for Tiger fans, by Tiger fans. Get a special taste with Jay and his Gov't Taco team tonight, Thursday, Aug. 31, at Tin Roof Brewing Company with the release of Tin Roof's new iteration of Gameday IPA. The event will feature tacos and other tailgate fun while supporting the relief effort in Houston, with 20% of all sales going to Operation BBQ Relief to help feed those affected as well as the first responders.
While the small details enhance the atmosphere, for Jay, the food and drinks come only as a reflection of the greater experience that occurs in the midst of the broad magnolias of LSU's campus. The culture and camaraderie of football fans from Baton Rouge and beyond are the reason that Louisiana hosts the best tailgates in the entire SEC.

My More Than Half-decade Long Journey through Taekwon‑Do
I was born in Cambodia in 1961. When I was small, other children treated me badly. Therefore, in 1970, I began to practice Taekwon‑Do to strengthen my body and spirit. Because it is both visually appealing and functional, Taekwon‑Do is a sport that appeals to me on a deep level.
Besides, Taekwon‑Do helped me to survive in the jungles where I was sent together with my family by Red Khmer regime. I used Taekwon‑Do to defend myself against wild animal attacks. This martial art developed my strength and intelligence. It taught me to overcome difficulties and to solve any problems.
In 1985, I moved to Ukraine to study, and in 1990, I continued my Taekwon‑Do journey under the instruction of Master Han Chol of the DPRK. I earned my first Dan black belt in 1996 and my second Dan in 1997. Later in life, I earned a certification as a physical training teacher.
I founded the Ngna Taekwon‑Do Association in 2004 and was later elected President of the Kyiv ITF Taekwon‑Do Federation in 2010. Moreover, I am honored to have been selected for the Ukraine National Taekwon‑Do Combined Team in 2013.
In the same year, I took part in the European ITF Taekwon‑Do Championship and I became the winner of the pattern and sparring in the veteran category. In 2017, I returned to the same Championships and won the pattern once more. My happiness was beyond words, and it is truly unforgettable.
I have been practicing Taekwon‑Do for over 50 years at this point. I have taught, hosted seminars, and competed in National, International, and World Championships. Taekwon‑Do has taught me a lot of valuable lessons. It has shaped my character, making me diligent, optimistic, and capable of identifying and achieving my goals. Taekwon‑Do also instills in everyone a spirit of strength, respect, and nobility.
I am thankful to have met some wonderful people along the way, including my coach, Han Chol, and the President of the Ukrainian National Taekwon‑do ITF Federation, Victor Poternak.
I would like to take this opportunity to encourage everyone to practice Taekwon‑Do and to use it only for peaceful purposes. Pass on your Taekwon‑Do knowledge to younger generations, be respectful of elders, help develop this sport, and develop yourself constantly.

No one knows when the concept of using assistance dogs for the blind first came into being. It is suggested that dogs have been used in such a capacity in various cultures for a very long time. It is known, however, that there was no formal guide dog program in existence until after the First World War.
Many people have probably wondered why guide and Seeing Eye dogs are so often German Shepherds. The reason is actually twofold.
First, the German Shepherd has a strong sense of loyalty to its owner, giving it a natural tendency to be protective. Having a very protective dog as a companion is an obvious asset for a handicapped person.
Second, the first dogs for the blind and visually impaired were trained in Germany to provide assistance for those blinded in the war.
After the end of World War I, Germany was devastated by financial depression. Many private businesses failed and the Potsdam, Germany school that trained the dogs for the blind was one of them.
The Beginning An American woman named Dorothy Eustis had heard about the program and decided it was a very worthwhile endeavor. Because she owned a company that was training German Shepherds as working dogs, she decided she might try to train these dogs for the blind. She did not start this right away, she was still considering the possibilities when she penned a story for The Saturday Evening Post about the potential for dogs trained for the blind.
A Nashville man named Morris Frank had heard the story and decided to write to Ms. Eustis and ask her to train a dog for him.
She did and Mr. Frank became known as the first blind person to use a seeing eye dog.
As part of an arrangement he made with Ms. Eustis, Mr. Frank started training dogs in the United States. The foundation that Mr. Frank started was dubbed "The Seeing Eye" and the so-called Seeing Eye dog was effectively born.

Q: Amazon AWS Elastic Beanstalk NodeJS app I have created a NodeJS app in Amazon AWS Elastic Beanstalk. Everytime I deploy the app I get following error (in logs):

Any idea what must be causing it?

A: When deploying a NodeJS application to elastic beanstalk npm install is run automatically for you. You haven't posted the contents of your 01-install-dependencies but guessing from the name and the error message that script runs npm install.
I did some investigation a while back into which npm scripts are automatically run by elastic beanstalk - npm scripts on elastic beanstalk

Dad who shot his own son receives suspended sentence

The Pretoria High Court upheld an appeal from the Director of Public Prosecutions over the light punishment for a man who shot and killed his own son.
Coert Kruger, 51, of Vanderbijlpark was released on warning in September last year after being convicted of murdering his oldest son, also Coert Kruger.
At the time, the judge thought it would be enough punishment for him to "look in the mirror at his son's killer".
The Supreme Court changed its sentence to eight years in prison, which was suspended for a total of five years.
Kruger shot his son in March last year when he saw him as a thief. Coert jnr. was on the roof of his grandmother's house, some distance from his parents' house on the same small holding.
Coert jr. (left) – Coert Kruger (right)
Kruger pleaded guilty to a charge of murder and claimed he responded when the alarm went off at his mother's house.
The national prosecuting authority argued that the punishment was shockingly light and the regional court did not take into account other similar cases.
The Court of Appeal found that the regional court did not take into account the seriousness of the crime.
"The court did not place sufficient emphasis on the fact that the accused fired a firearm in the direction of the deceased without it being a threat to the accused or armed," Judge Elmarie van der Schyff found.
The NPA welcomed the ruling.

Islamabad : The Afghan Taliban's founder Mullah Omar died of natural causes in his home country, his son has said in an attempt to quash the myriad rumours surrounding the warrior cleric's mysterious death.
The Taliban, which ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001 and has waged an anti-government insurgency since then, confirmed in July its founder had died. It later appointed Mullah Akhtar Mansour as its new head, sparking an internal rift with Omar's family including his son Yakoub.
Afghan intelligence sources had previously said he died in 2013 in a hospital in the Pakistani metropolis of Karachi, while there had also been rumours he may have been killed by his enemies. The group itself later admitted covering up his death for two years, saying they had wanted to keep it secret until foreign forces ended their fight against the militants.
In an audio recording issued Sunday night, and confirmed to AFP by Afghan Taliban sources, Yakoub — who was initially reported to have been in contention to lead the group himself — said his father had died of a long-term illness in Afghanistan and was suffering from Hepatitis C.


There's no doubt about it, college life will have its challenges. While there is the fun and excitement of becoming independent and experiencing a new lifestyle, once the 'newness' of it all wears down, students are then faced with the reality that is college life. This means meeting deadlines and lots of studying and juggling an exceptional amount of work. In other words, playtime is over. It's time to get to work!
It is almost guaranteed that every course syllabus will require students to complete an abundant amount of work in a short period of time. This amount of responsibility can bring a decent amount of stress on any student.
It is important to remember that an overwhelming syllabus paired with demanding deadlines is quite normal for college students. Then there is the stress of passing exams that make or break a grade. Yet and still, students can have a healthy college life if they organize themselves.
Here are a few ways students can balance a healthy lifestyle around exam time.
Whether one is taking three credits or 12, it is always smart to create a schedule to better organize one's tasks and responsibilities. Even as a full-time student, priorities outside of college can and will take front and center, sometimes at the worst moments. Granted, some things cannot be planned for, but at least with an existing schedule, one can be better prepared to adjust his/her priorities accordingly verses someone who didn't have any structure in his/her workday to begin with.
Creating a schedule is certainly simpler to do now! One can go to his/her local bookstore, pharmacy, grocery, or superstore and find an organizer-calendar to balance his/her class, study, and personal life. These days, calendar apps can be found in smartphones, not to mention email accounts.
A task like this ought to be second nature. Yet, once students begin to take on the tasks and responsibilities that college life has, especially around exam time, it is a step that is often skipped.
Making sure that one eats a balanced diet is crucial to one's studying habits. According to Evelyn Tribole, author of Eating on the Run, the three main consequences of not eating brings about a poor performance, brain drain, and calorie loading. Ironically, these three effects tend to cause a repeated loop of the same three consequences aforementioned.
So how does one escape this slothful loop?
But how can a student do this when he or she has to study for 3 exams in one week?
By maintaining a balanced lifestyle. It is not only important to eat but to design a schedule that will give students a break from the monotonous of study and research.
The amount of water in a human body can range from 50-75%. Ideally, everyone is ranging in the higher percentage range. However, that is not always the case.
The importance of staying hydrated is a matter of life and death. Dehydration has been known to cause blood clots, seizures, and other fatal ramifications. Of course, this is more of the extreme consequences, yet they are still worth mentioning.
Headaches – The brain is encased in a fluid sack that keeps it from bumping against the skull. When the fluid runs low, headaches can occur.
Muscle Cramps – Michael Bergeron, Executive Director of the National Institute for Athletic Health and Performance at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, muscle cramps occurs when the muscles in the body aren't surrounded with enough water and sodium. As a result, the muscles become hypersensitive, involuntarily contracting and undergoing spasms.
Bad Breath – Believe it or not, the human mouth is self-cleaning thanks to the use of saliva. However, when one is lacking a certain amount of body water, the amount of saliva is reduced causing bacteria overgrowth that leads to bad breath. So to avoid bad breath, a mint or gum isn't always the preventative solution. Drink water!
Fever/Chills – The causes of a fever is usually from fighting off some type of bacteria or infection in the body, so what does this have to do with dehydration?
Dr. Juline Bryson, a neurologist with the Headache Institute at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center in Manhattan explains that a headache is simply the body's alarm system warning that its equilibrium is off. Again, sometimes the cure or prevention of a fever is just a simple glass of water!
Food Cravings—for the wrong thing! – Dr. John Higgins, associate professor of cardiovascular medicine at the University of Texas in Houston, and chief of cardiology at Lyndon B. Johnson General Hospital reportedly explained that it is not uncommon for a dehydrated body to want sweet or salty foods due to the lack of glycogen that a lack of water can bring about.
Balancing a healthy lifestyle around exam time takes more than just eating and drinking. Being active has been known to reduce stress and generally make one feel better mentally. One doesn't need to be athletic in order to be active. Taking time out of the day for a 20-30 minute walk or any cardiovascular activity like jogging, playing tennis, swimming, etc. are helpful activities that can alleviate the amount of stress exam time can bring about.
Here at Florida National University (FNU) we care about our students. We understand that the overall health and well being of each student affects his/her academic performance. We strive to help students practice and maintain the best studying skills.
There is much to learn about starting a college career and FNU is ready to teach you! All you have to do is start the enrollment process. Contact a FNU counselor to begin the enrollment process to secure your education and improve your future.

Summerslam 2020: 4 Top WWE Stars Who Could Return For The Show
courtesy WWE
Prev2 of 2Next
The genetically superior athlete was written off TV through a kayfabe injury as she got into a fight with Nia Jax on a Raw episode, last month. It was also her last appearance on WWE programming on the same episode where she lost to RAW Women's Champion Asuka.
In reality, Charlotte Flair has taken time off for a plastic surgery who kept the fans in doubt about the much-anticipated return. It could be an indication that she'll be a part of SummerSlam 2020.
It was earlier reported that the current plan for her was to feud with RAW Women's Champion Asuka upon comeback. She would also work against Nia Jax who injured her to start a three-way feud. A Triple-Threat match between Flair, Asuka, and Jax for the RAW Women's Championship at the biggest party of the summer seems likely.
Former two-time World Heavyweight Champion Christian made a shocking return in physical capacity on the RAW after Backlash 2020, last month. He tried to seek redemption for what Randy Orton did to Edge at the June PPV. Unfortunately, the unsanctioned match only lasted for a few seconds, courtesy of Ric Flair.
Christian lost to Randy Orton after Ric Flair hit him with a low blow that followed by a Punt Kick from The Viper. He was then taken out of the arena on a stretcher who could now be planning revenge against Orton considering Edge is still not medically cleared to compete.
Christian did take a bump on Raw during his appearance which hints that he could be back in action at SummerSlam. It would also be a perfect idea to fill in the void of Edge with his best friend.

Around 1,200 riders enjoyed a sun-kissed tour around the district for the 21st St Albans Charity Cycle Ride (SACCR) on Sunday.
The annual fundraiser took cyclists on routes through the Herts countryside ranging from 10 to 40 miles, and it is hoped this year's event will raise between £25,000 to £35,000 for local charities.
The three Rotary Clubs in St Albans joined up with Rotarians from Hitchin, Luton, Bedford and Radlett to host the event.
The principal charities to benefit from the event are Macmillan Nurses who provide specialist cancer and palliative care, Medical Detection Dogs offering cutting edge services in the early detection of cancers and The Daylight Club, a friendly social club for adults of working age with physical disabilities living within the district. Other charities to benefit include Earthworks, where members of the Interact Club of St Albans - a Rotary club for students aged 12-18 - raised more than £200 through the sale of home-made cakes.
Next year's event is planned to take place on Sunday May 14. Further details will be available towards the end of the year from the St Albans Charity Cycle Ride website.

6 questions to Prof. Dr. Stefan Bratzel, Head of the Center of Automotive Management, on the sustainability of mobility
In an interview with Prof. Dr. Stefan Bratzel, Director Center of Automotive Management

The future of the automotive industry is emerging now. We can see the change outright. electric mobility, Sharing systems and autonomous driving are current trendsthat are already noticeably represented on the streets. Nonetheless, combating climate change needs more accelerators for a real transformation. Prof. Dr. Stefan Bratzel deals with the transformation of the automotive industry in the scientific Center of Automotive Management (CAM) for empirical automotive and mobility research. In an interview with Haus von Eden he gives an insight into the mobility of tomorrow and clarifies current myths.
Prof. Dr. Stefan Bartezl, head and director of CAM
1. No new vehicles with internal combustion engines from 2035 - is that the solution?
Yes, I believe that there is no alternative to electricity when it comes to climate protection and the laws. We have the vehicles for this, but the charging infrastructure still needs to be improved. In addition, the topic of electromobility is only green if the electricity for charging the vehicles is generated sustainably and thus the entire value chain, if possible Co2 neutral and is designed to be sustainable. This represents a major challenge for the next few years. But other alternatives do not offer a better solution.
The subject of hydrogen is often mentioned; this is a subject that is more of a theoretical debate at the moment, because we don't have enough (green) hydrogen, so to speak. I currently see no chance for hydrogen on long-haul routes or for cars, at best in local public transport. We don't have enough regenerative electricity that you would need three times more to have the same amount of energy on your bike. So we should concentrate on the topic of electric mobility and efficiency improvement.
2. Are there now more sustainable battery technologies?
Battery technology is still a very big challenge. One has to reduce the manufacturing costs in order to make electrical ones mobility also remains affordable. But another major challenge is to make the entire value chain greener. Essentially, it is also about promoting the possible reduction in raw materials. Here, too, you have to take precautions and keep an eye on the entire value chain.
There is also a lot of research going on around the alternative solid-state batteries. However, this is not a short-term issue. Because in the next few years the vast majority of battery cells will require lithium. Therefore, it is now a matter of efficiency issues in order to reduce raw materials as much as possible. Kobold is also such a point, there has already been great progress so that the use of the raw material can be reduced. So it shows that a lot is still possible.
Then we have another topic: recycling. That is, if the return takes place at some point. That will happen in the next 10 years. And then you have to recover a large part of the raw materials. Because batteries age, but the raw materials can be almost completely recycled.

3. What about the democratization of charging stations?
Yes, it is part of this overall topic that you have a charging infrastructure that is tight, widely accessible and reliable. That the driver can rely on it from A to B. That the charging station shown is free and working. This cannot be taken for granted, as Tesla has a huge advantage with its own charging infrastructure. The other manufacturers are also working to get a better grip on this issue. On the long haul, this is one of the main problems.
The problem is that the charging infrastructure in Germany is occupied by a large number of actors. They are usually municipal utilities, they are bigger players like ENGB. But there are over a hundred providers. On the part of the state, better framework conditions should actually have been set for a long time. It doesn't make sense that there are only monopolists in certain regions who can dictate the price at some point. But it is also clear that manufacturers have even more responsibilities. Because if the manufacturers do not tackle the issue with pressure, then there is relatively little movement. But now they also have the greatest pressure, because they have to sell cars.
4. Do you see a problem in data sharing?
When it comes to data protection, you have to look carefully and precise legal requirements are required. It is interesting, however, that one pays very close attention to this when it comes to cars, but when it comes to Google, Apple and Co., "ok" is pressed quite quickly. In the automotive sector there are a multitude of options for deriving monetization from fast data. Data-based insurance is where we will see progress relatively quickly now. The driver's data is evaluated, how fast is he driving, how is he accelerating, how is he driving up. Very good insurance tariffs can then be derived from this data.
If I know the customer very well, I can, for example, suggest that they drink a coffee at the right time. Various players outside the automotive market can also benefit greatly from this. China is a few years ahead of us here, that has to be said very clearly. The subject of data protection plays a different role here; the state simply dictates things.

5. What role do automobile shows like the IAA still play today?
This IAA is similar to the whole industry in a major transformation. This can also be seen when you are on site. But it wasn't a big surprise. The stands are much smaller and suddenly there is now a hall with bicycles. That was not the case before. Vehicles with combustion engines have to be looked for almost with a magnifying glass. And the discussion formats are clearly expanded, which previously had a smaller share.
This is new and at the same time a major challenge for an automobile fair like IAA Mobility. Brands like Tesla rarely appear at trade fairs. Because they have the opportunity to communicate differently. A great marketing machine is, for example, founder Elon Musk himself, who distributes his messages via Twitter. And then Tesla does what many are now doing in a similar way: in-house exhibitions. So you just invite journalists on site. That is a changed situation.
6. Will the mobility of today still exist in the future and what role will Germany play in this?
Mobility will change dramatically in the next 10 years. Of course we still have private mobility, especially in rural areas. We see a strong development in the urban regions to the effect that the share of private car traffic is being reduced. And that in favor of public transport, including bicycle traffic and pedestrian traffic.
It has to do with parking lots and lanes. Of course, offers and transport services such as car sharing are also needed, which are increasingly autonomous on the roads. Autonomous shuttles will also come in the next 5 to 10 years. Only in limited areas on separate tracks, but in the longer term with significantly expanded offers. In the highest expansion stage, we see it in such a way that no driver is sitting there anymore. We already have some of this in America, even if only in very limited use cases. European cities are of course much more complex.
According to the CAM innovation index, Germany is a pioneer. Germany has a relatively broad technology base, which is a big advantage. We have the most important premium manufacturers in Germany, which means we can ask a little more for them and are quite innovative together with Tesla. But for some years now we have also seen a tendency for Chinese carmakers to get better and better. Also with the support of suppliers from the west.

Weddings Are Forbidden In Lebanon During Lockdown
· August 2, 2020
The Minister of Interior and Municipalities in Lebanon, Mohammed Fahmi, issued in a statement that "those who wish to hold weddings are prohibited from doing so during the lockdown period."
In this period, all kinds of parties are forbidden, including weddings. This decision excludes no one, not even people who obtain or have obtained permission from authorities or a certain official.
The statement stressed that "all violators of the decision issued by the Ministry of Interior and Municipalities regarding the measures taken to limit the spread of the coronavirus will be fined."
Hussein Malla
The Ministry also stressed that it will not issue any exception to anyone in this context and that everyone who held the parties in the past days during lockdown will be fined.
Noting that the Minister of Health Hamad Hassan has recently authorized a couple to hold a wedding ceremony during the lockdown, and said that he will give permission to six more.
It is unclear if the Minister of Interior did mean to also fine the wedding that was authorized by the Health Minister.

National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program
Great Lakes Geologic Mapping Coalition (GLGMC) Active
By National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program April 19, 2019
The Great Lakes Geologic Mapping Coalition (GLGMC) advances the understanding of the three-dimensional distribution of the glacial, periglacial, and proglacial deposits that overlie the bedrock of the glaciated Midwest. It recognizes the fact that several continental glaciations of the last million years have profoundly affected the geology and the natural environment of all eight member States (IL, IN, MI, OH, MN, NY, PA, WI), thereby establishing a commonality of interests among the geological surveys and citizens of these States. In addition, the region has a commonality of demographics, "rust-belt" industry, heavy agriculture, and the Great Lakes. Reaching a fuller understanding of the three-dimensional framework of the glacial sediment of the region is needed to provide regional and National policy makers with the earth-science information required to make wise decisions regarding urban and agricultural land use, the protection of aquifers, and the environmental well-being of the citizens of this geologically unique region.
Annual GLGMC Projects:
FY 2018 GLGMC Projects
The Central Great Lakes Geologic Mapping Coalition was formed on December 17, 1998, as a collaboration between the Illinois State Geological Survey, Indiana Geological Survey, Michigan Geological Survey, Ohio Division of Geological Survey, and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The Coalition's mission is to cooperate in joint geologic mapping investigations and related scientific and technical exchanges concerning the earth sciences (including geology, geochemistry, geochronology, geophysics, geotechnical and geological engineering and collateral investigations) and technical topics of mutual interest. In January 2009, the Coalition was expanded to include the Minnesota Geological Survey, New York State Geological Survey, Pennsylvania Geologic Survey, and the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. At that time, the organization's name was changed to the Great Lakes Geologic Mapping Coalition. In 2012, the GLGMC added the Ontario Geological Survey as a non-funded member.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Duke's Elizabeth Williams again saved her best for North Carolina.
The senior scored a career-high 33 points to help the 15th-ranked Blue Devils beat the 12th-ranked Tar Heels 74-67 in overtime Sunday.
A year after setting a career high with 28 points against UNC, Williams finished with the most points ever by a Duke player in the fierce rivalry. With Williams going 14-for-25 from the field, the Blue Devils (14-6, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) snapped a five-game road losing streak — their longest in two decades.
"When you come to Duke, you love to play Carolina," Williams said. "I think for me it was nice to get the ball inside and just try to be a beast in there."
Duke coach Joanne P. McCallie said Williams was "in attack mode and really getting after it." She certainly carried the load, scoring 15 of her team's 28 first-half points and half her team's 62 points in regulation.
She also had 10 rebounds and four blocks, one coming on Latifah Coleman's layup on the final play of regulation.
"We couldn't do anything with her," UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said. "She always plays really well against us. And she did that tonight."
Williams scored in the post to start overtime, then found Rebecca Greenwell for a 3-pointer off an offensive rebound as part of an 8-0 run that put Duke in control.
Greenwell, a redshirt freshman, finished with 14 points and a season-best 14 rebounds.
Allisha Gray scored 20 points for the Tar Heels (17-4, 4-3), who shot 30 percent and went 5-for-30 from 3-point range. That included a first-half run of 15 straight misses and a 5-for-25 performance over the final 12 minutes of regulation and overtime.
"If we just had knocked down a couple more 3s, then we'd be happy right now," Hatchell said.
It marked the first meeting with neither team in the top 10 since March 2000, according to STATS.
Duke: Williams moved into fifth on Duke's all-time scoring list and third in career rebounding. ... Ka'lia Johnson had 12 points and 13 boards. ... Oderah Chidom returned from a two-game injury absence and had four points in 25 minutes, including a basket during the OT-starting run. ... Duke finished with a 61-47 rebounding advantage.
UNC: Stephanie Mavunga had 15 points and 15 rebounds. ... Coleman scored 14 points, one coming after halftime. ... UNC converted 23 Duke turnovers into 16 points. ... With forward Xylina McDaniel out with a leg injury, UNC has attempted 62 3s in the past two games.
