After having waited and been alone on the scattered and ever deteriorating 6th floor Reiss for almost two years, the Tong Lab has finally moved to the single lab space on the 4th floor WGR that was reconfigured from the old genchem lab. It just feels good by simply being in a better lab space. With Melissa coordinating and everyone contributing well, the move went smoothly and hassle-free despite that Dr. Tong was away for a conference in Orlando, FL honoring Wieckowski's retirement. The Lab is now gearing up for better scientific productivity in the summer and future.
On the other hand, the Lab was sad seeing off Melissa and Yuan who have decided to pursue careers other than a PhD in chemistry. Melissa is being enrolled in forensic MS program at Virginia Commonwealth University while Yuan in computer science MS program at University of Chicago. The Tong Lab wish them the best of luck in their respective new endeavors.
Some catching up news: Dr. Eric Sorte joined the Lab in March 2014, bringing onboard his vast expertise in NMR, Physics, and machining. It is expected that in situ electrochemical NMR will see decent progress in the near future.


Barrel saunas happen to be some of the easiest to construct models; this holds several means for those shopping around. The first being cost; due to the ease of constructing them companies save time and move cutting and measuring out the makings of these relaxing saunas.
Barrel saunas often come to their new owners unassembled, but the process to erect one at your home is not difficult. All the required pieces are right there for you; its just a matter of the time to piece them all together. We can send fully assembled sauna as long as you have some machinery to offload it off the lorry.
Constructing barrel saunas with larch (while aesthetically pleasing) also provides the same innate insulation that building a log home would. The plus side to this being that whichever heating method you chose, be it electrical of some fashion, or perhaps a traditional wood burning stove; will have an easier time doing its job due to lack of heat loss. That's another cost saver right there!
While most saunas adhere to the 7' ceilings so too does the barrel design. However there is one marked difference that really seals the deal on choice of styles.
The rounded portions of the sauna (which would normally be flat corners in other models) don't stop the heat transferring process. Those slight rounding curves actually serve to move the heat around the sauna naturally ensuring a quicker heating process and more even heat distribution; maximizing comfort and enjoyability of this design.
It's clear to see how barrel saunas are sweeping the sauna world. Their ease of construction (whether pre-ordered, or upon delivery) means less time and money needed to start enjoying the luxury at home for yourself. The design means you'll have more than enough room to accommodate you and yours no matter the occasion; and it will be heated and ready to go sooner than other styles regardless of whether heated with wood or electrical.
With your new barrel sauna you can sit back; relax and let your worries melt away; comfortable in the knowledge that it's yours. Gone are the long arduous trips through the city to your nearby spa, just to deal with the hustle and bustle of the outside world immediately after. Now it's just you and your own slice of steam filled bliss.

Foundation Work Helps to Reverse Social Plights, Perception of African-American Men and Boys
Posted by kimberlynalleyne on January 1, 2017
By Kimberly N. Alleyne
Originally Published at AmericasWire.com
WASHINGTON—Concerned about the plight of African-American men and boys, several philanthropic organizations have launched initiatives to improve opportunities for them to succeed. Some programs address the structural bias that leaves these men more likely to be incarcerated, jobless and disproportionately affected by other social disadvantages.
One of every 15 African-American men is in a U.S. prison or jail compared with one of every 36 Hispanic men and one of every 106 white men.Moreover, scores of African-American menare affected by chronic unemployment, lack of education, poverty and poor health outcomes.
Organizations such as Open Society Foundations, the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, the Mitchell Kapor Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, and local and regional foundations are working to assist African-American males.
Shawn Dove, campaign manager for the Campaign for Black Male Achievement sponsored by Open Society Foundations, recallsthat media stories about the plight of black men in 2006 spurred discussion on how the foundation could engage.
"I thought, 'How can we, a foundation that supports open society values, and believes in a democratic society, as a foundation, not be at the forefront of these issues?' "he says."When we launched, there was not an equivalent on a national level."
The program began in June 2008 and was to be a three-year campaign. But 18 months in, Dove says, George Soros, chairman of Open Society Foundations, and its boardwere impressed by the work, expanded the budget and agreed to make it ongoing. Since 2008, it has spent $29.6 million funding 94 organizations working on educational equity, strengthening family structures and increasing work opportunities. Grantees are in Chicago, Milwaukee,Baltimore, Philadelphia,New Orleans and Jackson, Miss.
"We are responding to long-term systemic and structural barriers facing the African-American community, specifically black men and boys," Dove says."An adequate response is not a three-year or five-year commitment. An adequate response is generational commitment so that direct services and policy advocacy are bridged."
Dove maintains that to adequately address challenges faced by African-American men,"we need an endowed social corporation that can focus on these issues for the long haul."
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation's work in this regard dates to the early 1990s when it launched a Men and Boys of Color initiative that included grants and creation of opportunities for black males. For more than 20 years, Kellogg has been in the forefront in supporting initiatives such as Community Voices, which started the nation's first health clinic for men in Baltimore, addressed flaws in local juvenile justice systems and assisted ex-convicts in re-entering communities in numerous cities.
"Both explicit and unconscious bias affects young men and boys of color in particular, denying them equal opportunities to succeed in their communities,says Dr.Gail C. Christopher, Kellogg's vice president for program strategy. "At the Kellogg Foundation, a critical objective for our racial healing and racial equity strategy seeks to remove structural and implicit barriers that limit their success. Achieving and sustaining racial equity requires strong systems of accountability, and as importantly, success requires uprooting a belief system of racial hierarchy."
Last September, Kellogg sponsored "Too Important to Fail,"Tavis Smiley's PBSreport on health and education disparities among African-American boys.The foundation also fundeda University of North Carolina project,thePromoting Academic Success initiative, whichworked with families, schools and communities to improve academic achievement of African-American and Latino children in Lansing, Mich., and Polk County, Fla.
Under its America Healing Initiative, the foundation funds many organizations, such as the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies in Washington, thatengage in efforts to address the challenges faced by black males. One grantee, the Opportunity Agenda, recently released a report on perceptions of black males in the media. The report seeks to educate media makers, educators and others on how negative images of black communities perpetuate negative stereotypes.
A significant part of the challenge is improving educational opportunities for African-American men.With its College Bound Brotherhood program established five years ago, the Mitchell Kapor Foundation helps black youths and men achieve success by equipping them to pursue a college education. Based in San Francisco, the program provides grants to community-based organizations offering college preparedness programs in the Bay Area.
Justin Davis, the foundation's program coordinator, says it has awarded more than $1 million to organizations."We also offer an online database, which is a free directory that lists college readiness programs in the San Francisco Bay area community," he said. "It helps students, parents and teachers."
The program hosts an annualgraduation celebration at which college-bound high school graduates are lauded for their achievements."This year, we are celebrating 150 young black men who are enrolling in college this fall," Davis says. "This is the only event like it in the Bay Area. Last year, it was standing room only. One of the most powerful images was seeing a stage full of young black men who are going to college. It's a great thing to see."
The programs are making an impact.
Jordan Johnson, 17, is heading to Morehouse Collegenext fall largely because of his participation in the Young Scholars Program, one 15 organizations that the Kapor Foundation supports through grants from College Bound Brotherhood. Johnson says the program changed his perspective aboutcollege.
The Young Scholars Program offers college preparatory and leadership development, plus tutoring, mentoring, cultural enrichment and scholarship assistance. Over the past 10 years, its students have attended colleges and universities such as Texas Southern, Fisk, Cornell and Yale.
"I got involved in the Young Scholars Program my junior year," Johnson says. "Before I got involved, I thought I was going to a junior college or a two-year college. I didn't have the professional, social or academic skills to go to a four-year college."
But the program changed his aspirations. He plans to study business management."I didn't think I was going to Morehouse because my GPA is 2.67," he says, "but the Young Scholars Program gave me hope. I have been accepted to 17 colleges. I have not received any rejections."
Another organization, Foundation for the Mid South, works to address poverty in Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, a region whose 30 percent poverty rate is the nation's highest. Based in Jackson, Miss., the organization focuses on education, health and wellness, wealth building and community development. The Kellogg Foundation is among funders of its work.
Matthew Caston, a communications fellow at Foundation for the Mid South, asserts that to be successful,more African-American men require better education.For instance, the foundation's data show that two of three boys of color cannot read at grade level by third grade and that 19.1 percent of black males are unemployed, compared with 8 percent of white males.
"We have found that education is the biggest determinant of success in the areas of incarceration, health and earning. People who are more educated are healthier and have better jobs,"Caston says, adding that reading scores are the biggest determinant for high school graduation and employment. "Males of color in our region are at the bottom in reading scores."
The foundation is working to improve education and economic outcomes for youths of color by assisting parents and civic, community and government leaders in improving the educational system and launching a public awareness campaign about its shortfalls.
The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation's Black Male Engagement (BME) Challengetakes a different approach.
Pronounced "be me,"BMEpiloted programs in Detroit and Philadelphia last year,and its primary mission is to highlight actively engaged black men in those cities. BMEis also funded in partby the Open Society Foundation's Campaign for Black Male Achievement.
"There are many initiatives that show that black men are disengaged, absent or a threat to their communities, but our working assumption is there is nothing to fix about black males,"says TrabianShorters, vice president/communities program at the Knight Foundation and BME's spearhead. "BME is not about fixing black males. Black men are assets to their communities, and we are working to respond to the many of them who are engaged and how to get more black males engaged."
Under the program, African-American men in Detroit and Philadelphia were asked to submit video testimony showing how they strengthen their communities.The 2,083 videosreceived told many stories about personal journeys that included men helping veterans returning to their community and introducing children to dance instead of street life.The storytellers were invited to apply for grants ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 to further their community work.
"So many regular guys go unsung,"Shorters says. "They don't do this work for a pat on the back, but it is nice to affirm what they do."BME has awarded $443,000 in grants "to 443 regular, everyday guys," he adds.
Shorters sayseveryone knows"good guys" who are not part of the dreadful statistics. "I hope that BME creates a network of these kinds of guys, regular guys," he says. "We want to make it so that if your cousin Joe is a good guy, doing something great for his community, that he can plug into the network and meet other guys like him and find resources to support his work."
Though many foundations focus their attention on systemic and structural barriers affecting African-American males, the whole "village" carries the burden of success.
"This is our unfinished business," Dovesays. "This is not black America's unfinished business. It is America's unfinished business."

We celebrate the baptism of the Lord today at Mass. The celebration will conclude the Christmas season. As always, the focus of our celebration is on Jesus, the Christ.
Peter proclaims the saving activity of God to those gathered in Cornelius' house, noting that "God shows no partiality." All peoples in every nation who fear the Lord and live upright lives are "acceptable to him." He then goes onto speak of Jesus as the Christ: "…beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power. He went about doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him." It is through Jesus that we have salvation, it is through him that all nations have been blessed and all peoples delivered.
Celebrating the Lord's baptism naturally leads us to reflect on our own baptism. As those life-giving waters are poured and the words pronounced — "I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" — we are mysteriously, sacramentally united with Jesus the Christ. We become one with him and each other as brothers and sisters. That union, or communion, with him is one by which we become adopted sons and daughters of God. Jesus is the source of our adoption. Through him we become children of God.
Faith in Christ Jesus is a way of life. The celebration of Jesus as the Christ takes place every day of our lives. He is present to us and with us always. It takes effort to remind ourselves of this and to keep focused on him. The responsibilities of life, good as many of them are, can be a distraction if we do not take the time to remember and to keep our eyes on him. Each day we have the opportunity to listen to him and to be led by him. Taking some time, even if it is just a few minutes, will help us remember his presence.
As adults, we have already received the light, but to keep it burning brightly we have to care and tend the fire. Prayer each day, no matter how small, will help us see the light and allow that light to lead and guide us through the day.
Jesus is the Christ. We pray today that our lives may be a living proclamation of our faith in the one born in Bethlehem and baptized by John.


Please note that we will be closed on 29 & 30 July 2014 and resume normal opening hours on Thursday, 31 July 2014.
May this celebration season bring peace and joy into your homes. And don't forget to drive safe and buckle up!


Horse & Hound sent us their fantastic review of Stable & Barn's beloved tack trolley.
Never did we dream our products would end up in such a prestigious horsey mag.
We posted our tack trolley off to a long standing Horse & Hound reviewer, Polly Portwin. Polly is a former senior master with the Bicester and is now the hunting editor for Horse & Hound since 2013. For 3 months the trolley was put through its paces at the yard, out hunting and all the bits in between.
We received 10/10 for Fit, 10/10 for performance, 8/10 for style and 8/10 for value for money.
"It was evident from the start that this was a quality product. Every part seemed robust and unsurprisingly fairly utilitarian which is what is required for an item likely to be pushed about on uneven ground or covered in mud throughout the winter….
The tack trolley instantly became one of those pieces of kit you rely upon. It was ideal for loading up with everything that was needed when getting horses ready for hunting.
The tack trolley has done us proud and continues to work everyday for Polly in her yard and hunts twice weekly.


Just within the fence on Cascabel Road I finally have to stop digging out an old T-post and go search out whatever critter is calling from the canyon and mesa to the east a long descending trill and chatter. I presume it's a bird I'm unfamiliar with, who knows, something newly arrived from Mexico and, ahem, undocumented, now the climate of Sonora heads north inexorably. A wren? I have no idea what the Sinaloa Wren–a species new for the United States found the more frequently not much south of here–could sound like, and this voice certainly has a wren motif, or should that be a wriff? After scrambling through two sets of fences and into the rough hillside of Catclaw and Saguaros, I arrive near the source of the odd notes as best I can figure just when the hoot of a midday owl silences whatever it is, and I don't hear it again. I ought to resist the drive to find out every last fact about this place.
A White Tiger Moth comes over, slowly, passes on by. Twenty Javelina bring their babies to the cool and green winter #2 Pasture, and tuck into the vast salad bar.
The balmy air of late afternoon is full of bugs dancing, on what elfin mission? They move in the orderly bounces of a pinball, or zigzag back and forth and back and forth … Phoebes chitter on the posts, then dive and sail into the shimmering horde, the birds' moves telling me they can outwit and out maneuver any of these insects that know so well how to evade me.
The day's become so warm that it's a pleasure to go back to work on the fence in the shade of the old and giant mesquite trees, where I'm somewhat camouflaged. I hope to hear the mystery trilling song again, from those slopes rising steeply on the other side of the road. While I dismantle the fence that Mycha the cow makes shortcake out of when she wants to get mesquite beans on the outside, there comes a huge Accipiter swirling and diving into the road but apparently missing its target. Gambel's Quail in the sunset light behind me scatter, and purl excitedly as they flee the raptor even though they're a thousand feet away from us. The hawk is big and brown, with the bright slash of a white eyebrow over the most intense of gazes, lands on an electric pole almost overhead of me: a Goshawk! Is it what had taken down the Cooper's Hawk whose feathered remains were on the pasture a month ago?
Woody Hume cares for the land and livestock in the Middle San Pedro River Valley of southern Arizona. Woody is a skilled naturalist and keen observer of the birds and wildlife that visit the pastures, stock pond, and mesquite bosque where he works.
The Sweetwater Center shares excerpts from his writings as part of our work exploring links between conservation and agriculture.
Woody uses the Tucson Audubon Society's book, Finding Birds in Southeast Arizona.

Variable loudness measures the overall loudness of a track in decibels (dB). Loudness values are averaged across the entire track and are useful for comparing relative loudness of tracks. My problem is, if I want to compare loudness per album, the scales could be different, since some albums could have been recorded with more volume.
So normalizing or standardizing the scale would be useful.
I have tried this code:
dataset %>% mutate_at(c("loudness"),~(scale(.) %>% as.vector))

But scaling a logarithmic scale makes me wonder if is right. Please, do you know how can I standardize or normalize a log scale?

A: If you want to standardize or normalize the tracks within each group, you can use dplyr::group_by. For a log-scale, you may want to normalize so that the values are between [0, 1]. Normalizing involves taking the difference between the value and its minimum (b/c decibels are negative) and dividing by the minimum. We also have to subtract from 1 to move the range from [-1, 0] to [0, 1].
library(dplyr)

dataset %>%
  group_by(album_name) %>%
  mutate(loudness_norm = 1 - ((min(loudness) - loudness) / min(loudness))) %>%
  ungroup()

It is said that the dead tell no tale. But in death, the widows of two of south Thailand's most wanted militants reveal the deepest thoughts behind men involved in the region's most violent conflict.
Hasem Bueraheng and Maroso Chantrawadee were among some 60 armed insurgents who mounted a daring raid on a marine base in Thailand's Narathiwat province. The mission failed. Both were among 16 militants killed while the rest fled. Their widows – Prachaya Binjehmoodor and Rusnee Maeloh – see them as martyrs. They tell us about the turning point that caused them to fight for an independent Pattani state, and what life was like in the years that followed.
Ahmad Somboon Bualang of the Thailand Center for Muslim & Democratic Development takes us into the history of the region. The southern provinces of Yala, Narathiwat and Pattani were part of the Malay-Muslim sultanate of Pattani. In 1909, it was annexed by Thailand, then known as Siam. Over the decades, resistance against Buddhist-centric Thai rule has been simmering with the ebb and flow of separatist movements fighting for a Malay-Muslim state.
Decades of unrest turned the region into one of the poorest parts of Thailand. 2001 saw a new generation of fighters breathe life into the insurgency, with full escalation three years later.
On April 28, 2004, more than 100 militants carried out terrorist attacks against 10 police outposts in the region. Thirty-two gunmen retreated to the 425-year-old mosque, regarded by Muslims as the holiest place in Pattani. After a tense seven-hour stand-off, the army stormed in, killing all the gunmen. The family of a slain gunman explains why he took up arms. A local religious leader tells us how the disaster inflamed local sentiments against the government.
Then months later, on October 25, things came to a head in Narathiwat's Tak Bai town. Six men were arrested for supplying weapons to insurgents. Locals demonstrated to demand their release. The army used tear gas, water cannons and even shot at the crowd, killing seven men. Hundreds more were arrested, made to take off their shirts, lie on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs, and the soldiers threw them into trucks, stacked five or six deep. By the time the trucks reached Pattani five hours later, 78 men died of suffocation.
We discover that Hasem Bueraheng and Maroso Chantrawadee were both survivors of this horrific journey. Together with many young men across the region, the violent events of 2004 sealed their determination to fight against Thai rule, seen to marginalise and assimilate the Malay-Muslim identity of the region.
The year 2004 became a turning point in the southern insurgency. In the years to come, near daily attacks have claimed more than 5,000 lives in the region. No government in this predominantly Buddhist nation has been able to get a grip on the unrest, despite measures ranging from brutal to conciliatory.
But Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, wants to change that. She assigned Lieutenant General Paradon Pattanatabut, the secretary-general of the National Security Council (NSC), to oversee the what she hopes will be a historic peace process.
Brokered by Malaysia, talks began in Kuala Lumpur in February this year. At the other end of the table, were members of separatist group Barisan Revolusi Nasional (BRN), led by Hassan Taib. The "peace agreement" represents the first time that a Thai government has given this much legitimacy to the Malay-Muslim separatist movement. They hope this will attract other groups to the table for future talks.
Yala-based journalist Don Pathan and Sunai Phrasuk of Human Rights Watch explain how the root of the problem runs deep. They say the series of peace talks have hit the wall as both sides come up with demands that the other does not accept. Serious doubts have also been cast over the influence of BRN representative Hassan Taib, as violence escalated despite peace talks. Pathan and Phrasuk describe how the older insurgents actually have little control over the militants on the ground, and death squads backed by security forces have also been involved in vigilante violence. It becomes apparent that the militants on the ground do not trust the authorities and have continued to refuse the olive branch.
Kasturi Mahkota, the exiled leader of one separatist group, Pattani United Liberation Organisation (Pulo), has claimed responsibility for some recent hits and tells us they will keep attacking as long as they are not invited to the negotiation table.

Jeff's Best Bets
Jeff Trela @jtrela20
NFL Betting for Week 1
In this space I'll be giving you my top plays each week across NFL and college football. The landscape of sports betting is much different now than as little as three years ago, with now 18 states plus Washington D.C. having legalized wagering. Gone are the days of calling Fat Tony from Staten Island and giving him your secret word to place your bets. That said, in the climate of having such easy access and multiple platforms, I have two rules you should always live by.
Determine your bankroll for the year and set your "unit" of play at about 2-3% of that, meaning if you budget $1000 for sports wagering for the NFL season, you should be wagering about $25 per play. That way you won't rip your hair out when the crazy variance that is the game of football comes knocking with the infamous back door loss.
Shop for the best number. Have multiple apps with a few units deposited, as sometimes a mere half point can be the difference between a loss and a push or a push and a cashed ticket. Also a few pennies of juice on a moneyline can really add up over the course of the season. Many of the books online have special promos weekly so use that to help build your bankroll. I will often keep you updated on where I see the best line here in New Jersey, but keep in mind markets are fluid and lines can change on a moments notice.
I generally thrive in two different facets of sports betting: following trends and live/in-game betting. Last year I built nearly half my bankroll live betting Chiefs in-game. This Thursdsay was no exception as I hit on the Chiefs Q2, Q3, and Texans Q4 in addition to pre-flop bets on the over and CEH yardage props. Always keep an eye on me on Twitter @Jtrela20 as I will tweet out my in game plays as I am making them, as well as update or add any plays I may have alean on going into Sunday. Let's dive right in, here are my top picks going into week 1, including two futures picks.
Jonathan Taylor, Rushing Yard total 700.5 -117 This number is available on Draftkings Sportsbook. There is some concern out there for usage with the presence of Marlon Mack, but let's face it...700.5 yards is only 44 yards per game in a healthy season, which should only require about 10 carries per game. The Colts have an elite offensive line, and Taylor's skillset is even better than that. Taylor can be an absolute disappointment and still cash this prop. Obviously the fear with betting an over is in the event of injury or Covid-19, you lose. I think at this number Taylor can afford to miss a game or two and still cash comfortably. The only thing holding it back from being a bet-the-mortgage smash is the uncertainty of the 2020 season, and the fact that I don't like to tie up several units of bankroll in even money or worse futures. PLAY: OVER, 4 units
Cooper Kupp, REC TD Over 6 -120 Kupp is the model of consistency. The only receiver in the league with 90 rec, 1000 yards, and 10 TD last season. He has averaged more than half a TD per game through his career which has grown to All Pro level. One of the more cerebral receivers in the league, he works hard to improve his craft and I see another step forward from the 10 TD performance last year. The NFC West does boast some of the best secondaries in the league, but the out of division schedule is relatively soft with the Eagles, Giants and Dolphins on tap PLAY: OVER, 4 units
Packers (+2.5, 44.5) @ Vikings Important trend: Divisional Dogs in week 1 games with a total of 47 or less are 17-2-1 since 2014. This week 6 teams qualify: Jets, Cardinals, Jaguars, Bears, Dolphins and Packers. The Packers are the play that jumps off the board here, especially if you see a +3 pop up on Sunday. Aaron Rodgers is elite in divisional games and the Vikings defense is not going to live up to its reputation this year(by a long margin), especially in an empty U.S. Bank Stadium . If you can't find the +3, the play might be on the Moneyline around +125 or putting it in a tease to get through the key numbers of 3 and 7, but let's shop for it before placing a wager. PLAY: Packers +3, 1 unit
Steelers (-6, 46) @ Giants Important and telling trend: the Steelers are 38-11-1 last FIFTY games on the road to the under. Yes, Big Ben is making his triumphant return and the Giants defense is steaming hot trash, but I think the pace of the game stays down as these are two teams that like to rely on the running game, and I'll always beat the vig by playing a trend that cashes 77% of the time. These are two public teams and the public loves points, so wait until closer to game time and hope to catch the key number of 47 or even 48. PLAY: Under 46, 1 unit. MONDAY UPDATE: Seems like I misread the perception of the game, as the strong action is with us on the under. I'm still waiting until close to game time hoping the public steams the over, but I'm comfortable as long as it doesn't drop below 45 which is 7 scores. Additionally, we saw yesterday that in this uncertain season where we had no preseason, the GOOD/tenured coaches have their team well prepared. Harbaugh, Carroll, Bellicheck, Reid all rolled...and I think Tomlin is on the fringe of this group. The Steelers win the game outright. This line opened 3.5 and has since steamed to 6, so I'd much rather take action on a tease to make it pick, U51.
Cowboys (-2.5, 51.5) @ Rams Quite simple, the Cowboys are such a heavy public team, this line is going to cross over the key number 3. The Rams have won and covered week 1 for three straight seasons and are breaking in a new staium, albeit empty. This is simply a fade on the public and a play on a live home dog with a talented roster. Bonus: If you have access to Fanduel Sportsbook, they are doing their "Spread the Love" promtion on this game where they increase the spread 1 point toward the Rams for every 5000 customers, and I estimate it will go over 3 TD, maybe 4 TD by game time so take the free $50. There is some concern about air quality in the Los Angeles area, so this game may actually be in jeopardy of being moved or PPD. Think we've had enough already, 2020. PLAY: Rams +3, 1 unit
BONUS addition!!! Being two of my plays are prime time games(coincidence, not forced) I figured I'll give you another afternoon play to keep you in the game. George Kittle over 67.5 yards on DK is free money. Take it and run.
Best of luck this week and remember to keep an eye on Twitter @Jtrela20 for any updates or additions to this week's play book. I'll see you at the ticket window!

I spent the past 9 days in Great Britain to attend the London 2012 Olympics, see old friends in the UK, and spend some quality time and relaxation with my family (parents and little sister Chloe) in Southern England.
Am I being the best me I can be?
If you take a moment to answer this question (I mean really answer this question), it will tell you a lot. This is a yes or no question. If your answer is: "I'm trying" or "I think so" or "I don't know" or "there's just so much on my plate right now". . . then your answer is decidedly no.
Olympians beat all odds. They strive to be their very best. They know that making excuses doesn't get them anywhere. They demand personal excellence from themselves and their teammates. And when that's not good enough, their coach pushes them to be even more. Some get to stand on the podium with a medal around their neck and most don't but they all get to say that they are an Olympian. That takes strength, courage, persistence, and encouragement.
What do I need to change? What do I need to do differently?
What healthy habits do I need to cultivate?
What bad habits do I need to get rid of?
Athletes don't go it alone– they have a coach or multiple coaches. You don't have to go it alone either! Change is hard. Support and accountability from a coach often make the difference between success and failure. If you're ready to step up and start making changes, schedule a Get Real Breakthrough Session today!

Q: Access control at property level (hiding/showing properties in api response based on the role) I have a spring-boot based micro-service generated using JHipster.
I am using keycloak as my Auth Server. I could enable Role-based & scope based authorization on my resources(apis).
Now the requirement is:  based on the role of the client, I need to restrict the information to send in the response (either mask the attributes or nullify them).
eg:
consider the following api to get the person's profile
/api/person/{id}
{
  "name": {
    "firstName": "Jack",
    "lastName": "Sparrow"
  },
  "gender": "MALE",
  "emails": {
    "details": [
      {
        "emailId": "jack.sparrow@gmail.com"
      }
    ]
  },
  "phones": {
    "details": [
      {
        "phoneNumber": "1234567890",
        "countryCode": "+1"
      }
    ]
  },
  "addresses": {
    "details": [
      {
        "addressLine1": "aaaaaaaa",
        "addressLine2": "bbbbbbb",
        "city": "cccccc",
        "state": "ddddd",
        "country": "South Africa",
        "postalCode": "987654"
      }
    ]
  },
  "photo": "string",
  "nationality": "South Africa",
  "countryOfResidence": "string",
  "active": true,
  "createdAt": 1537431339569,
  "modifiedAt": 1537436600693,
  "createdBy": "admin",
  "modifiedBy": "admin"
}

Now, when a person with BASIC role calls this API, the requirement is to show only basic information like:
- name, gender
If he has INTERMEDIATE role then we can send something more than basic but not full information. eg: name, gender, photo, nationality
If he has ADMIN role then we can send the complete information.
Can anyone please let me know What is the best approach to achieve this.
-- Thanks in advance :)

Mecklenburg County requires contractors to have a permit for certain projects and now it is an easy online process. The contractor Trades Internet Permits (TIP) online process allows you to enter details of the work being performed for projects that do not require a Building permit, pay the permit fee and print the permits.
The primary contractor may submit, pay for, and print a permit for projects such as change-outs, without staff intervention, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Primary contractor should apply and pay for all sub-trades. Mechanical contractor is considered to be the primary contractor when the project requires Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing work. Plumbing contractor is the primary contractor for electric water heater change-outs. Electrical may be the primary only on projects not requiring mechanical or plumbing work, such as a service upgrade.
Upon completing the on-line process, a contractor can immediately request inspections as soon as the work is performed. The county will send certified inspector(s) to verify code compliance.
Permit fees for sub-permits on equipment change-outs for projects on one & two family dwellings are reduced to 50% of the fee for the primary trade. This is due to the utilization of multi-trade inspectors and grouping inspections for the project.
The "Submit Permit Application" is available if your project is outside of the scope of the TIP process.

How to Draw Jack-Jack from The Incredibles VIDEO & Step-by-Step Pictures
Jack-Jack's sister Violet once said, "The only normal one is Jack-Jack, and he's not even toilet trained!" But Jack-Jack, the youngest member of the Parr family, does show his incredible powers in the movie The Incredibles. He inherited super powers from his super hero mother, Helen Parr (Elastigirl) and Bob Parr (Mr. Incredible), whose primary super powers are stretching and strength, respectively. The Parr family eventually discover that Jack-Jack's primary power is shape-shifting. He can burst into flames, turn into a demon-like creature, change his skin to metal, teleport, duplicate himself, and shoot lasers from his eyes.
Use the videos and step-by-step drawing instructions below to learn how to draw baby Jack-Jack from Pixar and Disney's The Incredibles.
The speed drawing video:
To draw Jack-Jack step by step, follow along with the video tutorial below and pause the video after each step to go at your own pace. You may find it easier to follow the step-by-step drawings below. The new lines in each step are shown in red, and each step is explained in the text below the photo, so you'll know exactly what to draw in each step. You may want to open the video in a new tab and use both drawing methods! Take your time and draw at your own pace.
Step 1: Draw a big circle near the top of the paper as a guide for Jack-Jack's head. First make four small marks to indicate the circle's height and width. Then connect the marks using curved lines. Sketch lightly at first so that it's easy to erase if you make a mistake. If you're struggling to draw the circle, trace the outer rim of a cup, a lid or any other object with a circular edge.
Step 2: Draw two intersecting lines across the head, one horizontal and one vertical. Curve the lines a bit so that they contour to the circle. These are construction lines that will help you place Jack-Jack's facial features later on.
Step 3: On the left side of the head, draw a C-shaped line as a guide for Jack-Jack's first ear. Add a similar line on the other side for the other ear. The ears should be below the horizontal construction line.
Step 4: Below the head, draw another circle as a guide for Jack-Jack's body. Draw this circle like the head. Start with four small marks, and then connect the marks using curved lines. Notice how much smaller this circle is in relation to the head.
Step 5: On the left side of the body, below the head, draw two sloping, curved lines as guides for the arm. Pay attention to the length of the lines. At the end of the lines, draw a small circle as a guide for Jack-Jack's hand.

Patriots Game Reports
Patriots Game Day
Instant Analysis from the Patriots 38-7 win over the Dolphins
New England is alive!
By Rich Hill@PP_Rich_Hill Sep 30, 2018, 4:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: Instant Analysis from the Patriots 38-7 win over the Dolphins
Well, I hope that game buried any sort of concern that New England Patriots fans had about their team. That was a complete game by all three facets of the team and Julian Edelman returns next week.
Here's what we learned from the team's 38-7 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
Tom Brady needs to stop throwing dumb interceptions
This might be the only negative I'll highlight. Brady had an otherwise solid day at the office, but he threw two incredibly dumb interceptions that look similar to other dumb interceptions he's thrown this year. Twice Brady decided to chuck the ball deep down the field into double coverage as a defender was in his face and instead of eating the sack, the Dolphins were rewarded with interceptions.
Brady always has a knack for throwing head-scratching interceptions, whether out of desperation or out of panic, and now he has four interceptions on the season. He hasn't thrown double-digit interceptions since 2013 and now he's on pace for a career-high 16. He needs to be smarter with the football.
Sony Michel and James White are going to be fun to watch
The Patriots needed some offense and the running backs delivered. Michel finished the day with 112 hard-earned rushing yards and the first rushing touchdown of his career, while White had 44 rushing yards and 1 rushing touchdown and 68 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown.
The two backs combined for 224 yards from scrimmage and 3 touchdowns. This is exactly what the team needs out of their backfield every week and the return of Edelman should make it even easier for the team to duplicate their success.
Phillip Dorsett, Josh Gordon, and Cordarrelle Patterson might all be bigger contributors than Chris Hogan once Edelman returns
Dorsett had 4 catches for 55 yards. Patterson collected a 55-yard touchdown. Gordon made two catches for 32 yards. All three have made their cases to be the #3 or #4 target in the Patriots offense, behind Rob Gronkowski and Edelman (and White as the #3). I would expect Dorsett and Gordon to get the most time on the outside because Dorsett's been the team's best receiver over the first four weeks of the season and Gordon has undeniable talent.
But Chris Hogan continued to be quiet. He had 1 catch for 25 yards and it was in the fourth quarter. I expected Hogan to emerge when Edelman was suspended, but it didn't happen. And Bill Belichick will always play those that earn their time on the field and it's pretty undeniable that Dorsett has outplayed Hogan and has earned that time. I wouldn't be shocked if Hogan was relegated to a smaller role moving forward.
Trey Flowers really fixed the entire defense
Is Flowers really the key to the entire defense? He's certainly making a strong case as New England pitched a shutout with Flowers on the field. After missing the bigger part of the past two games with a concussion, Flowers boosted the New England run defense and pass rush.
While Flowers only had one tackle on the day, his presence and impact was undeniable.
As for the rest of the defensive front seven, Dont'a Hightower and Kyle Van Noy looked really good, as did Lawrence Guy and Danny Shelton. This defensive unit made a clear improvement.
Jonathan Jones should be the starter opposite of Stephon Gilmore
The Patriots completely shut out Ryan Tannehill and the starting Dolphins offense, holding the Dolphins passer to 100 yards and 1 interception on the day. No Miami receiver was able to get open the entire day, with Kenny Stills leading the team with 40 receiving yards, 11 of which came on their final drive against the Patriots back-ups.
Jonathan Jones has made a strong case all year to start opposite of Stephon Gilmore and his ability to both shut down Kenny Stills and move in and out of the slot against Danny Amendola and Albert Wilson means that he's the ideal #2 cornerback in the same way that Logan Ryan was the perfect #2 opposite of Malcolm Butler. Gilmore can stay on the outside, while Jones can cover from anywhere.
Jones had 1 pass defended and almost had an interception and led the team with 8 tackles, helping with strong run defense and coverage. He's earned the job.

Home BTS World BTS has completed four nights of its 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE:...
BTS has completed four nights of its 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE: LA' tour
BTS's 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA' tour finished off with four gigs on November 27, 28, and December 1 and 2. Since the 2019 BTS WORLD TOUR 'LOVE YOURSELF: SPEAK YOURSELF' [THE FINAL] in Seoul in October 2019, the LA tour will be the group's first offline performance in two years.
The first song performed on 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA' was a stunning rendition of 'ON.' 'Burning Up (FIRE),' 'DOPE,' 'DNA,' 'Black Swan,' 'Blood Sweat & Tears,' 'Life Goes On,' 'Dynamite,' 'IDOL,' 'Butter,' and 'Permission to Dance' were among the 24 songs performed by the septet. 'We Are Bulletproof: The Eternal,' 'I'm Fine,' 'HOME,' and 'Mikrokosmos' were added to particular days' setlists to differentiate between the different concert dates.
The tour in LA was notable in that it was exclusively comprised of all-seven-member stages, with no solo performances, and it featured fan-favorite songs to commemorate the band's long-awaited return to an offline concert stage.
The BTS concert, which lasted four days, was nothing short of a blockbuster event, with some incredible stage collaborations and celebrity guests. 'BTS PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE – LA' was full of surprises, with audience members enjoying a variety of exciting and participatory components over the course of four nights. Megan Thee Stallion made a surprise cameo during the second event (Nov 28) to sing the remix version of 'Butter' with BTS, while Coldplay's Chris Martin, who worked with BTS on the chart-topping 'My Universe,' also joined the septet for a performance on the final day.
The septet was rewarded by the ARMYs because the total number of audience members included concertgoers at SoFi Stadium, viewers who watched the online live streaming of the previous show (Dec 2), and fans who watched the real-time live screening event at a nearby venue in LA ('LIVE PLAY in LA') totaled around 813,000. The performances came to a close with BTS performing their current dance hit 'Permission to Dance,' which conveyed the message that you don't need permission to dance to your heart's content. BTS' official lightstick, the ARMY Bomb, connects the band with fans all over the world.
"We worried a lot about whether we'd do well or not while rehearsing," the seven members said of their genuine sentiments and thoughts leading up to their comeback to offline concerts. "We can't convey how much it means to us to be able to meet our supporters in one spot like this," the band stated, expressing their gratitude for their followers. BTS announced at the end of the night that their next concert will be held in Seoul in March 2022.

A beautiful goodbye can make you sad or just keep you alive for a month..
Try to keep yourself in control you have the chance to face them all..
You should let the other person make a move so stop praying for something new..
Used to be heard sweet words and you have a beautiful view.. but this is your vision or maybe a picture which has whispered in your ear for sure.
Leave the words.. focus on actions.. is your baby but doesnt mean you are too..
This is something last for your heart which you have to do.
If you meant that much as you heard..
Your happiness is on your way just hold the heart on.
"Disappointment to a noble soul is what cold water is to burning metal; it strengthens, tempers, intensifies, but never destroys it."

Walter Wolf Racing je bilo moštvo Formule 1 med sezonama  in .

Leta 1975 se je slovensko-kanadski poslovnež Walter Wolf začel pojavljati na dirkah Formule 1. Leto kasneje je kupil 60 % delež moštva Frank Williams Racing Cars, vendar je Frank Williams ostal vodja. Hkrati je kupil še ostanke moštva Hesketh, ki se je že umaknila iz Formule 1. Moštvo je bilo v Williamsovi tovarni v Readingu, toda uporabljalo je večinoma dirkalnike in dele iz Hesketha. Hesketh 308C so preimenovali v Williams FW05 in kmalu se je moštvu pridružil kot šef inženirjev še Harvey Postlethwaite, Jacky Ickx in Francoz Michel Leclère pa sta bila najeta kot voznika. Toda moštvo ni bilo konkurenčno in se na nekaj Velikih nagradah sploh ni uvrstilo na dirko. Leclère je po Veliki nagradi Francije 1976 moštvo zapustil; zamenjal ga je Arturo Merzario. Ickx je dirkal slabo in je bil odpuščen po Veliki nagradi Velike Britanije 1976, zamenjala ga je pa serija pogodbenih dirkačev.

Po sezoni 1976 se je Wolf odločil prestrukturirati moštvo. Odstavil je Franka Williamsa in ga nadomestil s Petrom Warrom iz Lotusa. Besni Williams je moštvo kmalu zapustil in s sabo odpeljal še Patricka Heada ter nekaj drugih in ustanovil novo moštvo Williams Grand Prix Engineering. Dirkalnik WR1-Cosworth in dirkač Jody Scheckter iz Tyrrella sta se zdela močnejši paket. Toda prav nihče ni  pričakoval, da bodo zmagali že na svoji prvi dirki na Veliki nagradi Argentine 1977. Sicer je bila to v mnogih pogledih srečna zmaga, saj je Scheckter startal z 10. mesta, 6 dirkačev pred njim pa je nato odstopilo. Med sezono 1977 je Scheckter zmagal na Velikih nagradah Monaka in Kanade, še šestkrat pa je končal na odru za zmagovalce, tako da je sezono končal na drugem mestu za Avstrijcem Nikijem Laudo, kar je zagotovilo Wolfu četrto mesto v konstruktorskem prvenstvu.

Moštvo je ostalo nespremenjeno za sezono 1978. Novi dirkalniki WR5 so sledili novim trendom s krilci, toda pojavili so se šele na Veliki nagradi Belgije. Scheckter je osvojil četrto mesto na Veliki nagradi Španije in drugo na Veliki nagradi Kanade, v prvenstvu pa je končal kot sedmi.

V sezoni 1979 je Scheckter podpisal za Ferrari, Wolf pa ga je nadomestil z Jamesom Huntom. Novi dirkalnik WR7 je nastopal s sponzorstvom Olympusa. Toda dirkalnik ni bil zelo uspešen, saj je v prvem delu sezone nanizal kar sedem odstopov. Zato mu je hitro sledil še WR8. Sredi sezone se je Hunt odločil upokojiti in Wolf je hitro najel Kekeja Rosberga. Novi dirkalnik se ni izkazal za veliko boljšega, zato se je Wolf naveličal neuspehov v Formuli 1 in prodal ekipo Emersonu Fittipaldiju

UPDATE: ONE ARREST HAS BEEN MADE SINCE ORIGINAL PUBLICATION OF ARTICLE EARLIER TODAY.
Mount Dora police have issued warrants for the arrest of 20-year-olds Kederick Wayne Hunter and Gabriel Dejkunchorn relating to the shooting in a Walmart parking lot on July 21.
Dejkunchorn was shot in the knee. A third man, Christian Watson , was the victim shot in the back.
At the time of the shooting, all three men were sitting in a car in the Walmart parking lot. Watson was in the driver's seat, Hunter was in the front passenger seat, and Dejkunchorn was in the back seat, behind Watson.
Dejkunchorn was holding a gun when it went off. He shot himself in the knee and the bullet then penetrated the front seat and hit Watson in the back. Watson ran from the car to seek help. Hunter ran off after the shooting, but eventually came back to the scene and told investigators he wasn't there at the time of the shooting. Dejkunchorn also claimed someone else shot them. Only one shot was fired. Watson will not be charged with anything. Investigators determined there were no other people involved in this shooting
Hunter and Dejkunchorn each have an active warrant for their arrest and will face one charge each of False Reporting during the Commission of a Crime. Police do not believe they are still in Mount Dora. If anyone knows of their whereabouts, they are asked to call Mount Dora Police or Crimeline at 1-800-423-TIPS.

Most of you know me by now. My name is Joshua Hales (known as Professor Smith in the various Bf1942 Forums, and as Grand Admiral on the various Bf1942 Servers - in which I have frequented and performed my duties as a serious and supportive fellow soldier). I am seeking a server owner that is willing to place my (not so mini) mini-mod, HTroop v1.0b81 on their gaming server. I guarantee that you will have players. There are many that have downloaded and installed HTroop, but are just waiting for me to place it on a server, so that they can play. I even game Bf1942 mod reviewers on standby, waiting for an HTroop server to go up, so that they can livestream as they play and review it (which will also bring players to your server). It is a lot to download and install, but if you think about it, a lot of the mods HTroop requires to run, are mods that you yourselves area already running on your servers (such as Road to Rome, Secret Weapons of WWII, Forgotten Hope, Desert Combat, and more). So installing a few extra smaller mods and then a larger one (HTroop v1.0b81), wouldn't be much wast of hd space.
If you are truly interested in running an HTroop server (and promise that you won't change the mod - i.e. server side modding it, so that players can't enter uncapturable bases, or changing the game mechanics, etc.), please contact me by replying to this post or PMing me.
