PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER - CHLOE LOGARZO
Professional footballer Chloe Logarzo is described as "creative, dynamic and highly competitive…she is a player who makes an immediate impact…both on and off the field." (Coach Huw Williams, Kansas City, matildas.com.au) Beginning as a Westfield Matilda in 2013, her career has been played across the globe, including Scandinavia, Australia, the US and England.
Chloe's achievements are extensive. In 2013 she captained the National Under-20s side to finish runner up in the AFF Women's Championship. In 2014 whilst playing for Colorado Pride she went on to win Rookie of the Year after scoring eight goals and contributing seven assists in the USL W-League.
Chloe represented the Matildas in the 2016 Summer Olympics, 2018 Asian Cup, 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup and the 2020 Summer Olympics team which finished the tournament in 4th place, the best
the Matildas have ever done at an Olympics. A recent move from the FA's Bristol City to the NWSL Kansas City is an exciting new opportunity for Chloe. With a 3-year deal, and the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup on home soil in her sites, Chloe is set to thrive.
PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL PLAYER - HAYLEY RASO
Hayley Raso is resilience and grit personified. Her story has the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster, with audiences leaving inspired to live their best lives. Hayley's professional football career started
with Canberra United in 2011. Today she plays for Everton in the English FA WSL and represents the Matildas in the Australian National Team for which she has been part of since 2012.
Her achievements are extensive. She has won the Westfield W-League Premiership in 2011-12, and represented Australia in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, 2018 AFC Asian Cup, 2019 FIFA Women's
World Cup as well as the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo achieving 4th place, which is the best the Matilda's have ever done at the Olympics.
But her success has not come easy. In 2018, Hayley suffered a traumatic back injury breaking 3 vertebrae whilst playing for the Portland Thorns. It was not just Hayley's career in jeopardy, her ability
to ever walk again was in question. After 6 months of extensive rehabilitation, Hayley returned to later represent Australia in the 2019 Cup of Nations where she scored a goal for the Matildas. Her football
journey continues, and we wish Hayley every success. When Hayley reflects on her life she says… "I have learned to never take what you love for granted, because it can be taken away so quickly.
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE - ANNA DAVEY
Anna Davey is both brains and brawn. She's fit, she's skilled and she's strong. Anna gave up her day job as a lawyer to follow her passion for professional rock climbing. A former Ninja Warrior semi-finalist, her schedule is full. Anna has a busy social media presence; she is a climbing coach and personal trainer with clients all over the world and she fits in her own training to support her bouldering dreams. Bouldering is a form of rock climbing with no ropes or safety gear. It's a sport that allows a climber to test their body to the absolute limit – to push their strength power and technique. Anna reflects, "there's no other sport in the world in which you're hanging off, sometimes one finger, and have to be able to put your leg up at your head, or often be able to do one-arm pull-ups. It's just a little bit crazy… you really have to see it to believe it."
Her achievements are extensive representing her sport at home and on the international stage:
⦁ No 1 Overall Boulderer in Australia 2018
WA State Champion in Lead and Bouldering 2017/2018
⦁ 1st Place NSW State Titles 2018,
⦁ 1st Place Boulderfest 2018
⦁ 1st Place SA State Titles 2018
⦁ 1st Place West Coast Blocks 2019
⦁ 2nd Place WA State Titles Boulder 2019
⦁ 3rd Place WA State Titles Lead 2019
⦁ 50th Rank in the World 2019.
Anna's accomplishments show us what's possible. She reminds us, "Always believe in yourself. I started climbing at the age of 25 and I remember a year in, I said I'll climb for Australia one day and people laughed at me. 3 years later I made that happen. I never gave up.
PROFESSIONAL AFL PLAYER - CHRIS MAYNE
Professional AFL Footballer and Vegan Chris Mayne has told The Age newspaper "diet has been a big part of (his) transformation, (he is) looking at trying to be leaner but also find engine run as well."
Success for Chris has not come without its challenges. After playing 172 games and kicking 196 goals for Freemantle from 2008-2016, Chris joined Collingwood Football Club in 2017. He gained industry respect and kudos from teammates after overcoming a difficult 2017 with a gruelling offseason fitness and diet regime. Chris's hard work and resilience paid off. He went on to play every match after round 6 in the 2018 season including the 2018 Grand Final.
His resurgence has continued to be met with challenges. Throughout 2019 and 2020 Chris copped a fracture to his L2 and L3 discs as well as two concussions in the space of six months. Despite these setbacks, true to form, Chris has been back on the field playing throughout the 2020 and 2021 seasons. Legendary league pitcher Satchel Paige captures Chris Mayne's resilience and grit perfectly…. "never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve."

Is SQL Server Profiler showing Connection Pooling not working?
TL;DR: No – it's just SQL Profiler not telling you the entire truth.
The same thing happens without EF using basic SqlCommand queries. To tell you the truth I'd noticed this a while ago but hadn't got round to investigating.
Rather than assume that connection pooling was broken on my machine, I had a hunch that SQL Profiler was somewhat misrepresenting what was really going on.
Indeed Markus Erickson on StackOverflow mentions the EventSubClass column you can add to SQL Profiler's output to see if those Audit Logon/Logout events are actually connections being pulled from the pool or fresh connections.
Go to the Trace Properties window and switch to the Events Selection tab.
Now you can re-run your trace and hopefully be reassured that connection pooling after all is functioning correctly!
Great tip! I never could explain that either.
I don't completely agree with you or I might not get what you tried to describe.
If these audit events are nothing to be worried about and they are just representing the "going in" and "going out" from the connection pool on the client side.
Then the question is how the server knows about what's happening on the client's space?
What I think it is real login/logouts that are happening on a physical connection.

Pulis calls for Hawthorns FA Cup fever
Tickets still available for FA Cup showdown
TONY Pulis is urging Albion fans not to let The Hawthorns become a corner of the east end this Saturday.
Fresh from an impressive victory over Swansea which took the Baggies four points clear of the Premier League drop zone, Albion turn their attentions to Saturday's FA Cup cracker against West Ham.
The Hammers are guaranteed the boisterous backing of 5,000 travelling fans packed in the Smethwick End as the two Premier League rivals go head-to-head for a place in the quarter-finals.
Pulis is worried that could be as big a lift for Sam Allardyce's team as Albion's 5,500 travelling contingent provided in the previous round at Birmingham City.
But Albion's Head Coach has been buoyed by a crackling Hawthorns atmosphere against Swansea this week – and he is hoping for more of the same against West Ham.
"It was terrific to hear the fans really getting into it on Wednesday night – that is much more like what we want," he said.
"It's always a two-way thing with the players getting the supporters going and then feeding off the noise to play even better.
"Now we have this tough tie and it won't be made any easier by the fact that West Ham will have a small army of fans stacked behind one goal.
"They are a top side having a very impressive season and it will be a lift for them. But I know that if our fans are 'at it' like they were on Wednesday they will really lift our boys."
Tickets for the 12.45pm kick-off have been checked at £20 (adults) £15 (seniors) £10 (Under21s, students) and £5 for the Under 17s and remain on general sale to Albion fans up until kick off.
Pulis added: "We are a couple of games from Wembley with the semi-finals staged there.
"If we can get through this challenge and get a favourable draw...who knows what might be ahead? It is the excitement of the Cup and I know this club has a great history in the competition.
"I was brought up on the FA Cup and love the competition as well. I'm really looking forward to a top occasion on Saturday – I hope our fans are too. The players should be in confident mood after the performance against Swansea and I hope they and the supporters can pick it up where they left off on Wednesday."
Tickets are available online (click here), in person from the East Stand ticket office and by calling 0121 227 2227.

I use RSS newsreader software called NetNewsWire. The program is always open on my computer, and I probably spend about an hour a day using it to read news articles from all over the internet. The program has a list of the websites that I've set up news subscriptions for on the left hand side. One of the sites in my subscription list is (not so coincidentally) aaronflynt.com. Unfortunately, the program has a feature that turns the name of the website a very ugly shade of brown if the news site hasn't been updated in awhile.

I was trying to lay down a lead track for a song and things just weren't happening. The lead was going nowhere musically, and I kept losing focus. Finally in a fit of frustration I went completely crazy and just started hitting random notes and moving my fingers as fast as I could. Then something strange happened. The next take went just the way I wanted. I was able to calm down and play exactly what I was hearing in my head.
I've uploaded the two takes and called them Tension (the crazy one) and Release (the good one).

Refrain from eating crackers with orange juice.
If you are a guitar player, purchase a small 15 watt tube amp and use that, sans-effects, for every playing situation.
If you have unwanted whiskers, use an electric razor to shave them off.
If you ever decide to get a cat, get a Siberian.
Never ingest an entire bottle of Asprin in a short duration of time. This may very well be the first thing I ever learned.
Don't be afraid of Muppets. No matter how scary they may seem, it's highly unlikely that one will ever hunt you down and dismember you with a butcher knife.
Look at the labels on the food you eat. Try to stay away from stuff that has 'mono sodium glutemate' (MSG) in it.
Never assume something is going to work unless it's not all that important that it does work. If it is important, test it.
Find a good Chinese takeout nearby and order from them on a regular basis. You should also give the delivery person a decent tip.

Mrs. Lisa Rae Verhein Spiess age 55, of Hendersonville, TN, went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, March 18, 2018.
Lisa Spiess was born in Baton Rouge, LA on October 7, 1962, the daughter of Rita Roussel Roberts and Lamar Roberts. Lisa will forever be remembered for her radiant smile. Above all, she loved and valued spending time with her family and friends. When asked to describe the perfect words to portray Lisa as a wife, mother, and MiMi: fun-loving, playful, classy, selfless, kind, gentle, godly, spirited, joyful, humble, and a role-model.
After working for Evans, Jones & Reynolds for twenty-three years, Lisa retired to answer her calling to become a grandma. MiMi's greatest passion was caring for her grandbabies. She was a parishioner of Our Lady of the Lake and a dedicated servant of the Lord. Lisa was preceded in death by her grandparents; aunts, uncles; her brother, Dale Verhein; and a sister, LaRae Roberts.
She is survived by her best friend and loving husband of 35 years, Ernest Spiess, to whom she was married on June 5, 1982; her mother and father, Rita and Lamar Roberts; three sons, Jacob (Sichel) Spiess, Matthew (Amanda) Spiess, and Adam (Krystal) Spiess; three grandchildren, twins, Elowen Finch Spiess and Everett Fox Spiess, and Edison Paul Spiess; and a sister, Lesli Dawn (Ronnie) Carter.
A visitation will be held Thursday, March 22, 2018 from 4-8 PM with vigil including rosary starting at 7:15 held at Our Lady of the Lake Church. The funeral mass will be held Friday, March 23, 2018 at 11AM, also at Our Lady of the Lake Church, with a preceding visitation at 10AM.
As a celebration of Lisa's life, we ask that you wear bright colors!
In lieu of flowers the family respectfully requests contributions be made to Our Lady of the Lake Church in honor of Lisa's wishes: 1729 Stop 30 Rd, Hendersonville, TN 37075. Offering box will be made available at the service.
Sorry I will not be able to attend this week.
Our heart breaks for you – you 4 men were the loves of her life.
She was kind-hearted and genuine with all she knew. There is no doubt she will be missed by many. Sending our love and prayers for you and the family.
Larry and I are very saddened by Lisa's passing.
Lisa was one of the sweetest ladies i have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She sure loved watching Adam play soccer!
May the comfort of God encircle you and your families during this sad time.
Ernie, Jacob, Matthew, and Adam, our prayers, sympathies and thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this time of profound loss. Lisa's deep-seated faith and her determination in carrying her own cross serve as awesome inspirations to all who are blessed to have known her.
It is through that same faith in God's infinite mercy that we can be confident in Lisa's being welcomed home lovingly by Christ into Eternal Life, Joy and Peace.
Debbie and I are saddened by your loss of Lisa. She expressed a sweet spirt to those she came in contact with. She lived a life of impact. Lisa has been welcomed home by her savior. We will continue to pray for the Holy Spirt to provide comfort to all of your family.
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your family during this difficult period. May you find the comfort and peace that you seek and may the soul of your wife rest in peace.
So sorry for your loss. Lisa was a beautiful, loving woman. We hope you are comforted by the fact that her suffering has ended and she is now in God's arms. Our prayers go out to her and your family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.i am so sorry to hear about your mom. She was an incredible woman I have so many memories of her through the years. Much love to all of you.

Rita and Lamar, Robert and I are so very sorry for your loss. Lisa was a diamond among a bunch of rhinestones in my opinion. Love to you all . . . praying.
Lisa blessed so many people with her faith, kindness, gentleness and that beautiful smile. Praying that you'll find comfort in your memories of her and in the knowledge that others are missing her, too. Always in our thoughts and prayers.
Ernie, you know I loved Lisa, ( I cry as I write) Ozzie is leaving now, I have decided not to make the trip but I'm keeping all of you in my prayers. I reserve the privilege to visit in May or June, to visit, laugh & break bread.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Your family has been in my thoughts and prayers this week.
My thoughts and prayers for you and your beautiful family. I will be at the Celebration of Life tomorrow.
My condolences to all. Lisa was such a special lady. My prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. I regret that I am out of town this week. Blessings to all.
I did not know Lisa personally, one thing I do know is you cherished her very much. I believe there ARE holes in the floors of Heaven and she is watching and waiting to be reunited with all of you all one day. Prayers.
We are truly sorry for the loss of Lisa. Our loving Creator wants to comfort you with his promise that he makes through his son, Jesus, who states, "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." (John 5:28,29) May this promise of a resurrection bring you comfort and hope.


Sonic Boom Fire & Ice – Gameplay Walkthroughs (Worlds 1 & 2) from @Cobanermani456 – 3WIREL!
Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice recently released on the Nintendo 3DS and many YouTube content creators focusing on Sonic content produced content for this announcement. Popular YouTube user @Cobanermani456 started a new playthrough series focusing on Sonic Boom: Fire and Ice. You can find both the first part (above) and second part (below) in this article. Honestly am very impressed with what I am seeing with Fire & Ice's gampelay and while we won't have a review ready soon, expect one sometime in the future.


Are all G-POWER exhaust systems legal to be used on public roads?
G-POWER offers its stainless steel rear silencers in two sound versions. Rear silencers labelled as "street legeal" are within the legal regulations and sound emissions applicable to German laws, whereas the "medium sound" stages are developed for track or race use and are therefore not legal within German street regulations. The same applies to the titanium exhaust systems. The addition "export" indicates that these systems are not street legal in Germany. Local regulations in other countries may vary.
Does the installation of a G-POWER titanium exhaust system require a modification to the original ECU?
In general, a modification to the original ECU is not necessary. However, please note that stock cars with standard output (without a G-POWER supercharger system) require the installation of a "lambda-kit". There are individual titanium exhaust systems for cars equipped with a G-POWER supercharger system. In this case, the "lambda-kit" is not necessary as its function is covered by the modified ECU software for the G-POWER supercharger system.
What is the delivery time for a G-POWER exhaust system?
G-POWER exhaust systems are generally being produced for your individual purpose. Therefore, there are no in-stock products. As a result, the production time comes on top of the relevant provisioning time. Usually, the total delivery time is approx. 4 weeks.
How does the shipping process of the G-POWER products work?
When directly ordered from G-POWER, we organise the shipping by parcel service or forwarder after we have received the payment in our account.
Does G-POWER offer special package prices?
Of course. Please ask for an individual package price for your inquiry. The G-POWER package offers you the opportunity of having the ordered products installed directly at the G-POWER premises. This grants you the same high quality standard for the installation of our products that you know and appreciate from our products. Benefit from our more than 30 years of experience and our superior know-how concerning our products that we have engineered and produced.
Can I order the G-POWER products without an installation at the G-POWER premises?
Naturally, you can order the G-POWER products without the installation at the G-POWER premises, except for certain supercharger systems that have been marked accordingly.
Can I buy G-POWER Products from my BMW dealer?
Yes, basically you can buy and have the G-POWER products installed directly at your BMW dealer. However, it is important, especially when it comes to our supercharger systems, to have a professional and experienced partner at hand for these works. So, contact us and ask us for such an experienced partner close to your destination.
Do you have products in your product range that are not listed on the website?
No, products from earlier production years that are not listed on our website are not produced anymore and hence are no longer available.

New Delhi: Amplus Energy Solutions has inked a deal to install a two-megawatt rooftop solar plant for India Exposition Mart Ltd. (IEML) that hosts international business exhibitions and promotional events in Greater Noida in the National Capital Region (NCR).
Gurgaon-based Amplus said in a release here on Tuesday that it will install, operate and maintain for a period of 25 years the project, which will be funded through the $150 million it has raised from a global infrastructure investment fund, I Squared Capital.
"Amplus plans to invest around Rs 12 crore for installing the solar power plant at India Expo Mart," it said.
"Once completed, this plant over its lifetime will help in saving 69,000 tonne CO2, which is equivalent to planting 86,000 trees in addition to the guaranteed cost savings to IEML," it added.
The company also said that earlier this year it commissioned India's largest single-location rooftop solar installation for captive use of 4,130 kW for Yamaha Motors in Noida.
The government aims to increase energy sourced from solar rooftop systems to 40 gigawatts by 2022.

There are 8 weeks-ish between the first exam results and second exam. The Aberdeen FRCS course was one month before the exam, and we highly recommend it, as it directs your learning well. It teaches you how to concentrate your examinations and speed up in the short cases. There is a London course too.
You should attend clinics and discuss cases/topics with allied consultants – ophthalmology, electrophysiology, ENT, neurology, paeds, parkinson's, neuroradiologists. Go to epilepsy-, neurovascular-, neuro-oncology-, spinal-, and skull base-MDTs; and any others that may be appropriate. Practise examinations properly on patients – ask for good patient examples from the neurology team and your neurosurgical colleagues. Talk through how you do operations – simple stuff like ACDFs, lumbar microdiscectomies, craniotomy, FMDs etc. A lot of people recommend doing this out loud in front of a mirror – that's good to get you used to saying things out loud and seeing what your body language is like.
There are a lot of things you won't find in textbooks, because they are out of date, such as guidelines and new reviews.
TLICS/SCLICS – although in the clinical they generally just need to know if you are able to accurately classify a fracture as stable or not, so the AO system should be ok.

A proprietary blend of herbals along with zinc to help fight and eliminate parasites in the body as well as support digestion.
Portable to be taken when traveling and eating out to reduce occurrence of digestive issues from foreign water, uncooked foods, unsanitary conditions or just a change to your regular diet.
• Wormwood kills adult parasites and especially pinworms. Wormwood also contains compounds known to stimulate digestion by supporting liver and gallbladder function. The benefit can be increased when combined with other digestive herbs such as ginger.
• Black Walnut which has antifungal and antibacterial properties and can kill intestinal parasites like roundworm and tapeworm. It helps to clean out any toxins and dangerous pathogens.
• Clove Bud kill the parasite eggs that may be lingering in the intestinal tract along with worms. Cloves may increase gut motility as well as improve the digestion power by increasing gastro-intestinal enzyme secretions. Thus, helps relieve indigestion and constipation problems. Further, the spice buds contain very good amounts of vitamin A and beta-carotene levels along with eugenol, eugenyl acetate, and caryophyllene. These compounds provide potent antiseptic and anti- inflammatory benefits.
• Fennel is helpful in reducing diarrhea if it is caused by bacterial infection, because some components of the essential oil in fennel such as anetol and cineole have disinfectant and antibacterial properties.
• Ginger is known as an anti-parasitic. Researchers show that it can inhibit a variety of worms and parasites. Worms treated with ginger had altered surface structures with loss of certain areas and erosion in others.
SUGGESTED USE: Unsweetnened for best results. Shake Well. Mix in 6oz water. Drink 30 to 60 minutes before eating. Avoid mixing in sweetened drinks as parasites thrive and survive on simple sugars. Helps to kill and remove pinworms, worms, parasite eggs and adult parasites from the body. Will also help to provide digestive support and healthy microbial activity.

Canadiens Veterans Recent Results Key For Trade Deadline
The Montreal Canadiens are trending toward adding an excellent player at the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, but there is a silver lining in the numbers lately even if they're struggling to earn wins.
And that silver lining ties into the trade deadline, which ties into the upcoming Draft.
In recent games, the Canadiens have shown an impressive uptick in results in one crucial statistical category: high-danger scoring chances.
It's notable because the Habs have struggled mightily to put together a stretch of games in which they held an advantage in quality chances.
Recent Streak
Before the game against the Washington Capitals on Jan.3, the Canadiens had controlled a paltry 41.8 percent of the high-danger chances throughout the season, one of the worst results in the league.
Against the Capitals, the Canadiens were blown out of the water by a score of 9-2, but for the first time in a long time, they held their own in quality chances (16-13).
A few nights later, the Canadiens lost 4-1 to the Rangers, however, they actually held an advantage in high-danger chances (8-5).
In the Canadiens' lone win of the new year, a 5-4 victory over the St-Louis Blues, the Canadiens almost doubled their opponents' quality chances (11-6).
The following matchup, a disheartening 4-0 loss to the Seattle Kraken, led to an 11-7 advantage in high-danger chances.
You're probably wondering why we should focus on one particular statistic while the Canadiens continue to lose, and that's a fair question.
First off, high-danger chances are usually a good indicator that an individual player is projected to earn more points in the near future.
And when it comes to the Canadiens, we need to pay attention to which players are producing those chances.
In the aforementioned games, it's the veterans that have been driving the offence, an encouraging sign for a team that is hoping to move some of their older players on the NHL Trade Market.
Joel Armia has created five of those chances, which has led to a significant uptick in goal-scoring. Christian Dvorak, Evgenii Dadonov, and Jake Evans have produced four good scoring chances, whereas Josh Anderson has contributed three.

Simply put, with the exception of Evans, the players who are improving their results also align with the players the Canadiens are attempting to move before the trade deadline.
Of course, improving the process won't move the needle in terms of potential returns. However, seeing as there are still 20 games scheduled between now and the deadline, the notable improvements should lead to more offence, and consequently, to an increase in trade value.
Especially for players like Joel Armia, who hold little to no value on the market, it could lead to a trade in which the Canadiens are not obligated to retain salary, and consequently, would not be forced to buy out his contract in the summer.
And when it comes to players such as Anderson, the improvements may just lead to another pick or two in the upcoming Draft.
All Montreal Canadiens statistics are 5v5 unless otherwise noted, via Natural Stat Trick.

3 goals and now you think we wouldn't have to retain salary to move Armia?! The only way we wouldn't have to retain salary to move him, is if we took an expiring bad contract back. Probably for more money too.

Emile Alphonse Griffith, mais conhecido como Emile Griffith, foi um pugilista profissional.

Sua disputa mais conhecida aconteceu em 1962 na briga pelo título com Benny Paret. Griffith, que era bissexual, foi provocado por Paret ainda na pesagem, chegando a ter as nádegas tocadas por Paret. Griffith ganhou a luta com um nocaute tão violento que Paret não recobrou a consciência, morrendo no hospital após 10 dias internado.

Carreira

Início da carreira
Griffith nunca sonhou em ser lutador. Isso se deu por acaso, durante sua adolescência, em seu trabalho numa fábrica de chapéus. Num dia quente, após o consentimento de seu chefe - um ex-boxeador amador, tirou a camisa para trabalhar. Este viu como Griffith era forte e o colocou para treinar na Academia de Gil Clancy.

Benny Paret
Durante muitos anos, Griffith viveu com remorso e se sentiu culpado pelo que aconteceu com Paret, sobretudo pelo cubano ter deixado mulher e filho. Isso o fez lutar de forma diferente, causando menos dor nos rivais.

Morte
Griffith morreu em 23 de julho de 2013 em uma instituição de cuidados especiais, já que necessitava de cuidados intensivos por sofrer de demência pugilística. Seu filho adotivo, Luis Rodrigo Griffith, foi seu principal cuidador.

Biografia
Foi lançada em setembro de 2015, na Europa, uma biografia sobre Griffith, intitulada "A man's world: The Double Life of Emile Griffith", escrito pelo jornalista britânico Donald McRae. Não há previsão de uma edição brasileira.
Em uma passagem do livro, Griffith diz: "Eu mato um homem e a maior parte das pessoas me perdoa. Eu amo um homem e muitos dizem que isso me torna uma pessoa horrível".

Homenagens
Foi nomeado "Lutador do Ano" pela revista The Ring em 1964.

Foi um dos incluídos "Hall da Fama do Boxe Internacional" quando da sua criação, em 1990.

Nas Ilhas Virgens, sua terra natal, foi homenageado dando nome a um parque.

French Judges Interrogate Lebanese Businessman In Beirut Over Sarkozy's Case
Rim Zrein·
Foam/ABACA | EPA-EFE/MAYA VIDON
A French judicial team interrogated Lebanese-French businessman Ziad Takieddine in Beirut on Thursday, an update in the case of the suspected Libyan financing of ex-French president Nicolas Sarkozy's 2007 election campaign.
Takieddine has been under house arrest in Lebanon since early December.
The 70-year-old businessman fled to Beirut after a French court in June ruled in favor of five years in jail in a separate case involving millions of euros in kickbacks from arms sales to Pakistan and Saudi Arabia signed in 1994.
Foam / ABACA
The session was held at the Court of Cassation at Beirut's Justice Palace, with the presence of three french judges, Attorney General Judge Imad Qabalan, as well as Takieddine's lawyer Sharif al-Husseini.
A French judicial source has recently told local media that he was skeptical of the possibility of extradition to France.
"France and Lebanon have not concluded an extradition agreement and Lebanon does not extradite its nationals. The proceedings could very quickly end there," the source said.
Takieddine is the main accuser in the inquiry into suspected financing of Sarkozy's 2007 election campaign by Moamer Kadhafi.

However, the former French president has denied accusations issued by former members of Moamer Kadhafi's leadership that he took millions from the Libyan ruler during his successful presidential run.
The scandal came to light in 2012, when investigative website Mediapart published a document purporting to show that the former Libyan dictator Moamer Kadhafi agreed to give Sarkozy up to 50 million euros ($58m or $67.6m at today's rates).
In November, Sarkozy was off the spotlight when Takieddine suddenly retracted his claim.
However, the former French president is still entangled in the probe into the illegal campaign financing, as well as probes into attempts to influence the judiciary, and taking money from Kadhafi. He denies all the allegations.

Vuromantics choose their favourite albums of all time
Date: June 21, 2018Author: Adam Graver 0 Comments
Music has the power to change lives, trigger countless emotions and above all, make people feel truly alive. Throughout history, there have been too many iconic records and singles that have impacted on people's life day-to-day and our latest feature aims to highlight some of these records. Each week we'll be asking different people to contribute a short piece relating to a record that means something to them and our first feature is a belter with three members of Sheffield band Vuromantics taking on the challenge.
Fresh from a run of dates in Scotland, the band are returning to Yorkshire for a joint headline show at Dunnington Fayre on Saturday 28th July. They relentlessly tour around the UK whenever they get chance so are seasoned pros when it comes to their live set. The event can be found here www.facebook.com/events/389896448135151/ so get involved to see what they're all about. Since we were first approached by vocalist Sam and the band, we've loved hearing their tunes and interviewed them back in January – they're locked away recording their album so expect new music and more very soon from Vuromantics.
Record of the Week with Vuromantics
Sam Christie – Vocals
TV On The Radio – Nine Types Of Light
I've always loved music, film and art that pushes the boundaries of what a piece of artwork is socially expected to be; work that refuses to be put in a box and reaches out into other fields. I guess an example from the world of art, would be an artist like Robert Rauschenberg, his work blurs the lines between paint, collage and sculpture. …so, with this in mind; when Vuromantics were offered the chance to write about an album that means something to us, you can see why the first album that came into my head was `TV On The Radio's' Nine Types Of Light.
You can image my excitement when I discovered this album many years ago, which not only stands alone as a complex and diverse audio pop adventure in its own right but also is available as hour-long feature length film with each section of the movie was created by the band whilst working alongside a different group of visual directors who collectively use the film to explore the ideas from the record.
Lyrically it's out-there, it's arty, complex but also simple when it needs to be, a testament to vocalist Tunde Adebimpe's imaginative delivery and diverse vocal range. Musically the album is so outrageously good in places it baffles the brain; Sitek, Malone, Bunton and Smith's multi-instrumental technical arrangements are lovingly weaved together with memorable choruses and hook sections whilst remaining bold, adventurous and at times in your face, but crucially not afraid to be delicate and intricate.
I'd certainly call it one of my favourite albums ever and I wouldn't be alone, there are thousands of fans out there that would agree with me but somehow TV On The Radio have managed to maintain an element of enigma, becoming somewhat of a cult obsession rather than an all-out worldwide conquering stadium phenomenon, possibly due to the bands sporadic touring schedules and a wide range of interests outside of music. All of which just makes the die fans love them even more, stick the album on; you'll see why!
Jake Christie – Synthesizers
Air – Moon Safari
I'm not great at writing about music, I think it's best to let it speak for itself but what I will say is I absolutely love this record, I think it stands out as a landmark record from the past 20 years, I love that laid-back melodic feel with small bursts of electric energy on every track and really has stuck with me through the years, it still sounds as good now as it did when it was released way back in 1998!
Callum Hall – Guitar/Keyboards
Tool – 10,000 days
This has gotta be about my number 1 album of all time. It's a crazy blend of powerful rhythms and truly insane tones, that takes you on a trip from start to finish. The production is incredible, and the music itself is simply on another level.
For a 4-piece these guys really have it locked down. Danny Carey on drums is an absolute beast and comes out with the fattest beats combined with his signature mega-tom and percussion work. The patterns he plays are intriguing and complex, without ever losing the solid grooving foundation. The drums sound huge and dynamic, taking things through sparse enigmatic sections up to enormous highs.
The bass has a distinctive sound; it's thick and bassy yet clear and defined all at once. And the earthy grooves intertwine with the drums to create a complex rhythmic base. Justin Chancellor has got to be one my favourite bass players, and although my playing isn't anything like his, I'm very inspired by his invention and stylistic approach. He lays down a solid foundation and keeps things exciting and bouncing. Check out The Pot for some of the chubbiest bass playing going.
When I learned the band only use one guitarist my brain basically exploded. His playing is probably my favourite part, although what he's doing is so far beyond my powers that I kind of can't compute it all. He uses an enormously complicated rig to create a universe of sounds on this album. From the thin, desolate and apocalyptic cleans found in Wings for Marie, to the tight, crushing distortion in tracks like Jambi and Rosetta Stoned; this is a real tonal adventure. A particular highlight being the talk box solo in Jambi – check that track out for the essence of this album.
Maynard James Keenan is a living legend, having now basically all but given up music to run his own California vineyard. On this album however he's at his best, navigating and guiding the listener through the stormy instrumentals with the huge range of his voice. Whether hushed and almost spoken, confidently singing, or fully belting out vocals, he blends it all together with perfection and creates songs from the madness.
I couldn't exactly pick a best song on the album as to me it's one to listen through from start to finish. Which by the way do, you won't regret it! The dynamics from track to track work so well, and it flows together almost seamlessly. Most tracks are 7 mins long minimum as well, so you may as well be in for the full ride. The last track though, Viginti Tres, is very freaky. I've actually skipped that on most listens as it's too scary! Something to do with aliens and Area 51. But anyway, 10,000 days is a marvel, and it's by far my most listened to album. It's esoteric yet accessible, heavy yet measured, and overall a real sonic exploration. And holy crap, check out some of the music videos.

Lucie Salhany, former Chairwoman of Fox Broadcasting, will deliver the commencement address to the Class of 2013 when graduation ceremonies take place on Taylor Field Sunday, May 19. Salhany has Boston-area roots. Her husband, John Polcari, is the owner of the world-famous North End-based Regina Pizzeria.
Salhany took over as Chairwoman in 1993. When Fox appointed her, she was the first woman ever to run a major broadcasting network. Salhany's career in the media spans many decades, including working at television stations in her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, and being named the CEO of United Paramount Network (UPN) in 1995.
The relationship between Salhany and Lasell is a close one. She serves on President Alexander's Advisory Council, was an adjunct faculty member in the Communication department, and her son Jake graduated from the college last year. She also taught the Entertainment Media course during her tenure at Lasell.
Salhany and President Alexander have good rapport, as they served together on the Board of Directors for the USA Network.
This selection comes after the two previous speakers, U.S. Senator Scott Brown and U.S. Representative Barney Frank, were politicians. Frank's address to the Class of 2012 was known for being more of a partisan rant than words of wisdom.

Die Dultenaugrabenbrücke ist eine 444 Meter lange Balkenbrücke und Teilstück der A 98. Die Brücke ist eine achtfeldrige Stahlverbundkonstruktion, die 2002 zunächst als Querung mit je einem Fahrstreifen pro Fahrtrichtung eröffnet wurde und in einem weiteren Bauabschnitt einen zweiten Brückenüberbau erhielt. Sie ist seit 2010 in beide Fahrtrichtungen zweispurig befahrbar.

Die Brücke wird von insgesamt sieben Stahlbetonpfeilern getragen. Die Feldweiten betragen 35,52 Meter – 44,40 Meter – 53,28 Meter – 66,60 Meter – 75,48 Meter – 71,04 Meter – 57,72 Meter – 39,96 Meter. Der Überbau weist in Querrichtung einen Hohlkastenquerschnitt mit konstanter Konstruktionshöhe von 3,0 Meter auf. Die Stahlbetonfahrbahnplatte ist in Querrichtung verbundlos vorgespannt.

Die Gesamtkosten der Dultenaugrabenbrücke beliefen sich auf rund 11,3 Mio. Euro. In dem vollständig im Dezember 2010 für den Verkehr freigegebene Abschnitt zwischen dem Autobahndreieck Hochrhein und der Anschlussstelle Lörrach-Ost ist die Dultenaugrabenbrücke eine von insgesamt drei Brücken, die notwendig waren. Alle Brückenbauwerke zusammen machten mit 57 Mio. Euro rund die Hälfte der Gesamtkosten für diesen Abschnitt aus.

Am 30. September 2020 musste die Brücke wegen Senkungen am westlichen Brückenkopf gesperrt werden. Die Sanierung der Brücke soll bis Ende 2022 abgeschlossen sein.

NMR-based metabonomic evaluation of livers from rats chronically treated with tamoxifen, mestranol, and phenobarbital
Laura Schnackenberg, Richard D. Beger, Yvonne Dragan
Metabolomics > 2005 > 1 > 1 > 87-94
In this study, we look at the metabolic effects of long-term dosing with tamoxifen, mestranol or phenobarbital on the liver. Tamoxifen, mestranol and phenobarbital have all been reported to act as promoters of hepatic tumors. While tamoxifen and mestranol are known to have estrogenic activity, in the liver phenobarbital is a non-estrogenic compound. Aqueous and lipophilic liver extracts from control...
Metabolome analysis and metabolic simulation
Nobuyoshi Ishii, Tomoyoshi Soga, Takaaki Nishioka, Masaru Tomita
For many decades microorganisms have been used for industrial purposes; traditional fermentations such as brewing and production of food additives, aroma molecules, organic acids and pharmaceutical-like antibiotics or recombinant proteins are instances of the industrial microorganism utilization. Therefore, microorganism modeling and simulation have been required for engineering purposes, because...
Profiling microbial metabolomes: what do we stand to gain?
Seetharaman Vaidyanathan
Microbes are the most metabolically diverse living forms on earth, capable of occupying every niche imaginable. There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained by studying this diversity and the complexities of microbial biochemistry. Post-genome science is characterized by the parallel analyses of gene products at the level of transcripts, proteins, and metabolites, to explain much of this diversity...
The origin of correlations in metabolomics data
Diogo Camacho, Alberto Fuente, Pedro Mendes
A phenomenon observed earlier in the development of metabolomics as a systems biology methodology, consists of a small but significant number of metabolites whose levels are highly correlated between biological replicates. Contrary to initial interpretations, these correlations are not necessarily only between neighboring metabolites in the metabolic network. Most metabolites that participate in common...

A metabolome pipeline: from concept to data to knowledge
Marie Brown, Warwick B. Dunn, David I. Ellis, Royston Goodacre, more
Metabolomics, like other omics methods, produces huge datasets of biological variables, often accompanied by the necessary metadata. However, regardless of the form in which these are produced they are merely the ground substance for assisting us in answering biological questions. In this short tutorial review and position paper we seek to set out some of the elements of "best practice" in the optimal...
Analytical precision, biological variation, and mathematical normalization in high data density metabolomics
Yevgeniya I. Shurubor, Ugo Paolucci, Boris F. Krasnikov, Wayne R. Matson, more
Metabolic serotypes sensitive to caloric intake may enable sera metabolomic profiles to validate epidemiological parameters and predict disease risk in humans. This long-range goal is complicated by the lack of known state markers and the requirement for simultaneous monitoring of multiple small changes. Therefore, analytical precision for appropriate high data density studies using HPLC separations...
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOF) for high resolution metabolomics: biomarker discovery on spleen tissue extracts of obese NZO compared to lean C57BL/6 mice
Werner Welthagen, Robert A. Shellie, Joachim Spranger, Michael Ristow, more
Comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography–time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC × GC-TOF) was applied for the analysis of complex metabolite profiles from mouse spleen. The resulting two-dimensional chromatograms proved that mass spectral quality and sensitivity were largely improved by the enhanced resolution and zone compression, which are features of GC × GC operation, when compared to classical...
Metabolomics: building on a century of biochemistry to guide human health
J. Bruce German, Bruce D. Hammock, Steven M. Watkins

Gwénaëlle Gall, Stine B. Metzdorff, Jan Pedersen, Richard N. Bennett, more
Metabolomics > 2005 > 1 > 2 > 181-198
A metabolite profiling study has been carried out on Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. ecotype Wassilewskija and a series of transgenic lines of the ecotype transformed with a CHS (chalcone synthase) antisense construct. Compound identifications by LC/MS and 1H NMR are discussed. The glucosinolate composition in rosette leaves was shown to vary naturally within this ecotype. Relatively modest environmental...
NMR-derived developmental metabolic trajectories: an approach for visualizing the toxic actions of trichloroethylene during embryogenesis
Mark R. Viant, Jacob G. Bundy, Christopher A. Pincetich, Jeffrey S. Ropp, more
Fish embryo toxicity tests for chemical risk assessment have traditionally been based upon non-specific endpoints including morphological abnormalities, hatching success, and mortality. Here we extend the application of 1H NMR-based metabolomics in environmental toxicology by adding a suite of metabolic endpoints to the Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) embryo assay, with the goal to provide more...
A non-directed approach to the differential analysis of multiple LC–MS-derived metabolic profiles
O. Vorst, C. H. R. De Vos, A. Lommen, R. V. Staps, more
An essential element of any strategy for non-targeted metabolomics analysis of complex biological extracts is the capacity to perform comparisons between large numbers of samples. As the most widely used technologies are all based on mass spectrometry (e.g. GCMS, LCMS), this entails that we must be able to compare reliably and (semi)automatically large series of chromatographic mass spectra from which...
Evaluation of automated electrospray-TOF mass spectrometryfor metabolic fingerprinting of the plant metabolome
W. B. Dunn, S. Overy, W. P. Quick
Metabolic fingerprinting is increasingly employed in microbial and plant metabolomics. Identification and evaluation of analytical factors that influence mass spectra produced with automated electrospray time of flight mass spectrometry to support metabolic fingerprinting are described. Instrument resolution of 4000 (FWHM) at mass 200 Da provided detection of ions of the same nominal mass but different...
Relative contribution of specific sources of systematic errors and analytical imprecision to metabolite analysis by HPLC–ECD
Yevgeniya I. Shurubor, Wayne R. Matson, Rolf J. Martin, Bruce S. Kristal
Objective interpretation of metabolomics data requires understanding both analytical and biological measurement errors. Here we address analytical measurement errors, the sources of these errors, and how this variability can impact metabolomic profiles. Sources considered include room temperature exposure (which could affect sample stability), spiking with authentic standards, the number of study...
Metabolomic analysis and signatures in motor neuron disease
Steve Rozen, Merit E. Cudkowicz, Mikhail Bogdanov, Wayne R. Matson, more
Motor neuron diseases (MND) are a heterogeneous group of disorders that includes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and result in death of motor neurons. These diseases may produce characteristic perturbations of the metabolome, the collection of small-molecules (metabolites) present in a cell, tissue, or organism. To test this hypothesis, we used high performance liquid chromatography followed by...
Correlative GC-TOF-MS-based metabolite profiling and LC-MS-based protein profiling reveal time-related systemic regulation of metabolite–protein networks and improve pattern recognition for multiple biomarker selection
Katja Morgenthal, Stefanie Wienkoop, Matthias Scholz, Joachim Selbig, more
A novel approach is presented combining quantitative metabolite and protein data and multivariate statistics for the analysis of time-related regulatory effects of plant metabolism at a systems level. For the analysis of metabolites, gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass analyzer (GC-TOF-MS) was used. Proteins were identified and quantified using a novel procedure based on shotgun sequencing...
Characterizing the metabolic actions of natural stresses in the California red abalone, Haliotis rufescens using 1H NMR metabolomics
E. S. Rosenblum, M. R. Viant, B. M. Braid, J. D. Moore, more
Withering syndrome in California red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) is caused by the Rickettsiales-like prokaryote (WS-RLP) Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis. WS-RLP infection is not sufficient to cause withering syndrome, and for reasons not yet well understood additional stressors such as elevated water temperature appear to influence disease development. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)...
Qualitative high field 1H-NMR spectroscopy for the characterization of endogenous metabolites in earthworms with biochemical biomarker potential
E. M. Lenz, J. M. Weeks, J. C. Lindon, D. Osborn, more
This study was designed to provide a database of the endogenous metabolites in earthworm extracts of the species, Eisenia veneta and Lumbricus terrestris by high resolution 1H-NMR spectroscopy in view of identifying biomarkers of toxicity or stress in environmental metabolomics studies. 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic techniques enabled the identification and confirmation of the organic components in...
From metabolic to metabolomic NMR spectroscopy of apoptotic cells
Norbert W. Lutz
Over the past 10–15 years, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy has been employed to study metabolic events accompanying programmed cell death (apoptosis). The early studies were characterized by experiments focusing on specific metabolic parameters obtained by analyzing a limited number of biochemical compounds, e.g. selected metabolic species involved in the Krebs cycle, in energy metabolism,...

Kanoa Igarashi will represent Japan in the 2018 World Surf League (WSL) Championship Tour.
The 20-year-old surfer was born in Huntington Beach, California, but he has dual citizenship - his parents and family are Japanese.
With this announcement, Igarashi hopes to compete for the Land of the Rising Sun in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Simultaneously, he will become the first ever Japanese athlete on the Dream Tour.
"I want to be able to compete in the Olympics and proud to surf for Japan. I have a lot of support and fans over there, so it is something for them to cheer for," explained Kanoa Igarashi.
Surfing has been added to the Tokyo 2020 program during summer 2016. It is the first time that the sport participates in the Olympic Games.
"The Olympics is the greatest sports competition, and it is something that you dream of doing as a kid. I never thought it would be possible as a surfer. It is an exciting time for surfing, and I am going to represent it in the best way possible."
In Tokyo 2020, male and female surfers will compete for gold, silver, and bronze medals at Tsurigasaki Beach, the venue chosen for the surfing's Olympic debut.


FEATS 2019 takes place in Ottobrunn, near Munich, from 30 May to 2 June 2019.
This year's line-up includes two new groups – the English Drama Group, Salzburg, and Munich Feminist Project.
The host group is working hard on the preparations, and the running-order should be published very soon. In the meantime, here are the twelve plays in competition – listed in alphabetical order by group name. Original scripts are indicated with an asterisk.
For more FEATS news, see the current FEATS newsletter and the FEATS 2019 website.
The FEATS newsletter for June 2018 has now been published, with full results of the Antwerp festival, including nominations, together with reviews of all the plays. Click here to download it.
If you would like to receive the newsletter on a regular basis, please contact the editor.
For those who were not at the FEATS forum in Antwerp, here's a quick summary of the news and topics discussed.
The EU's new regulation on data protection means we are required to have explicit consent from individuals to allow us to store information on them. If you have taken part in FEATS, or if you subscribe to the newsletter, this means you! More about this in due course.
The steering committee is concerned that our communication channels are diverse and not well-defined. There is the "permanent" website, feats.eu; usually an annual website, which may have a lifespan of only a year, such as the 2018 site created by BATS; the Facebook page; the newsletter, which is sent out in electronic form and also in print in a few cases; and, from time to time, a Twitter account. In addtion, there is FMS, the FEATS Management System, used by participating groups to exchange information with the host group. At best, maintaining all these sources of information involves duplication of effort. At worst, FEATS participants and public alike may be confused and fail to find what they are looking for.
We should therefore like to set up a small study group, consisting of the FEATS webmaster, the FMS developer and, ideally, a non-specialist representative of the FEATS community. This is where you come in: if you'd be willing to be that third person, please make yourself known. The contact form is the best way.
As regulars know, selection of participants is made on a rota basis, with groups divided into three geographical lists for the purpose. With the passage of time, however, some imbalances have arisen, with more groups in the German list than in either of the other two regions, and a number of groups that choose to participate infrequently, so causing a faster rotation in certain lists than others. The steering committee has therefore decided to amalgamate the lists into one, with effect in FEATS 2019, maintaining the rankings at the end of FEATS 2018. The published lists will shortly reflect this change.
attendance at FEATS, size of venues, target public – would a questionnaire addressed to audience members give useful information?
greater use of photos to make websites, Facebook and so on more visually attractive.
Finally, Jenni Mikulla from Entity (pictured), was invited to speak about next year's FEATS, which is to be held in Munich for the first time. Jenni painted an attractive picture of the venue and the amenities available in and around it.
FEATS 2019 takes place in Munich from 30 May to 2 June (Ascension weekend). A date for your diaries!
Once again the FEATS website is pleased to report the festival winners.
And the stage management trophy (awarded by the FEATS 2018 stage management team) went to Gill Atkinson of the Bonn Players.
With that, it's good night from Antwerp. FEATS 2019 takes place in Munich from 30 May to 2 June 2019 (Ascension weekend).

Q: How can I make a Xamarin Forms CollectionView size to fit its contents? I'm using a Xamarin Forms CollectionView to present a grouped list of items.  Each item is rendered with a DataTemplate that has a fixed height, and each group header is rendered with another DataTemplate that has a fixed height.
How can I make the CollectionView height big enough to accommodate all of its contents (items, group headers and spaces inbetween) without having to be scrolled, and without hard-coding the height?
Here's my XAML.  I've omitted the contents of the grids for brevity.
<CollectionView
    IsGrouped="True"
    ItemsSource="{Binding Items}"
    SelectedItems="{Binding SelectedItems}"
    SelectionMode="Multiple">
    <CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
        <LinearItemsLayout
            ItemSpacing="10"
            Orientation="Vertical" />
    </CollectionView.ItemsLayout>
    <CollectionView.GroupHeaderTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid HeightRequest="20" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </CollectionView.GroupHeaderTemplate>
    <CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid HeightRequest="90" />
        </DataTemplate>
    </CollectionView.ItemTemplate>
</CollectionView>

Note that I can't use BindableLayout or ListView because I need the grouping and multiple selection.  I'd also like to do this without breaking the MVVM abstraction, so ideally I don't want anything in the view model to know anything about row heights.
Any help much appreciated.

A: Wrap it with AbsoluteLayout so you can set Height and Width by % of screen size or the AbsoluteLayout parent layout size
and then set the HorizontalOption and VerticalOption of your CollectionView to FillAndExpand

The focus of this year's ABX+GreenBuild installation, No Tools Required, is to explore concepts of material interactions, joinery, and zero waste efficiency. We have created a collection of interactive furniture pieces using a simple and efficient construction technique that allows us to marry the sturdiness of plywood with the tensile strength of the fabric. Each of the pieces is created with either a full sheet or a half sheet of plywood, laminated with a layer of felt, CNC routed, and then folded and buckled. This ultimately results in a process in which no tools are needed for the assembly of each object, and no waste is left from the process of making.
M a k e TANK, now in our second year, was created as a BSA committee with the mission of creating a collaborative environment to research and experiment with ideas in physical form. With a focus on maker culture, we believe this understanding leads to improved design, quality, delivery, and material understanding.
Early design iterations revealed that a flexible material like fabric between pieces of plywood was not only interesting but also fun to imagine new possibilities.
Continuing to expand on this idea M a k e TANK designed furniture pieces that left NO waste during production and could easily be assembled by one or two people with NO tools.
The end product is laminated, CNC'd and assembled in less than an hour. All the connection details are machined, strung together, and twisted to tension the toggle.
This year's ABX installation (not pavilion), aims to tap into two known constants, material behavior and the innate human interest in interacting with the world around them. MakeTank will explore making in a purist fashion that listens intently to the material, allowing it to shine. Secondly, but equal in importance- we are providing the visitor an open invitation to play, build and interact with one another. By utilizing thick felt sheets, embedded with a system of fastening that make their construction legible to the user, we hope to create a system of making that is both inviting, tapping into human desires to play and interact, as well as employing an efficient, elegant construction method that reduces waste.

Mavs topple Clippers, Lakers ease past Suns
AFP December 3, 2018, 5:14 AM UTC
New Orleans' Anthony Davis goes after a loose ball on the way to a 36-point performance in the Pelicans' win over the Charlotte Hornets

Los Angeles (AFP) - The short-handed Dallas Mavericks denied the Los Angeles Clippers a fifth straight NBA victory Sunday, dropping the Clippers from first place in the Western Conference with a 114-110 win.
Harrison Barnes scored 30 points to lead the Mavericks, who were without star rookie Luka Doncic.
But DeAndre Jordan, playing his first game against his former team, chipped in 16 points and 23 rebounds for Dallas, who notched a fourth win in their last five games even with Doncic sidelined by a sore hip.
The Clippers had taken the lead for just the second time in the contest on Lou Williams' three-pointer with 46.9 seconds remaining.
Barnes drove for a basket and missed but Mavs forward Dorian Finney-Smith tipped in the rebound to put Dallas back on top.
They led 112-110 when Dennis Smith blocked a shot by Tobias Harris and made two free throws to seal the win.
"I thought it was one of the best competitive things I've seen in a long time," Mavs coach Rick Carlisle said of Smith's effort. "He got switched and blocked the shot, got the rebound and made two free throws -- winning plays."
It was a bruising contest. Smith lost a tooth when Patrick Beverley's elbow caught him in the mouth and the intensity ramped up from there.
Dallas forward Wesley Matthews was whistled for a technical foul and Beverley was ejected for throwing a ball at a fan as the Clippers fell to 15-7 and ceded first place in the West to Denver.
Back in Los Angeles, meanwhile, the Lakers were coasting to a relaxed 120-96 victory over the struggling Phoenix Suns.
Kyle Kuzma led the Lakers with 23 points. Superstar LeBron James added 22 while sitting out the entire fourth quarter of the comfortable victory.
The Suns led by as many as 17 in a first quarter in which James characterized the Lakers' play as "horrible".
But Los Angeles had cut that deficit to 10 points by the end of the period and out-scored the Suns 40-15 in the second to seize control.
"I think we're just getting better every day," three-time NBA champion James said of the young Lakers team. "We know what's winning basketball for us -- that's defending and sharing the ball."
- Davis dominant -
Anthony Davis powered the New Orleans Pelicans to a 119-109 victory over the Hornets in Charlotte, delivering 36 points, 19 rebounds and eight assists.
Davis, who also came up with two steals and blocked two shots, set the tone early with 17 points in the first quarter.
"When he plays like that, he's unstoppable, and that trickles down to us," said Pelicans point guard Tim Frazier.
It was a much-needed road win for the Pelicans, who improved to 12-12.
DeMar DeRozan's big game helped the San Antonio Spurs bounce back from two embarrassing defeats with a 131-118 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
After losing their last two games by a combined 68 points, the Spurs responded with their highest point total in two weeks.
LaMarcus Aldridge added 29 points and Rudy Gay chipped in 18 as the Spurs withstood a 37-point performance form Portland's Damian Lillard.
In Miami, Dwyane Wade drained two free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining to seal the Heat's 102-100 victory over the Utah Jazz.
The 76ers notched a fourth straight victory, 103-95 over the Memphis Grizzlies in Philadelphia.
JJ Redick led the 76ers with 24 points. Jimmy Butler delivered another dominant fourth-quarter performance, scoring 13 of his 21 points in the final period to keep the Grizzlies at bay.

Watch Hilary Duff Chase Her Dream Man In "All About You"
By amandahutchison | September 25, 2014
We still don't know what Hilary Duff's upcoming album via RCA Records is titled, but that's not stopping the actress-turned-singer from releasing her new single "All About You." In the song's music video, we see Hilary going through a love-at-first-sight moment with a guy she spots at a coffee shop: and the hunt is on!
As Duff's folk-infused pop hit boasts the chorus Think you're all about me, but I'm all about you / Turn the lights down, let me show you it's true, we see the starlet snapping a picture of the man in question who sends it to her group of besties, then, after spotting he's forgotten his record, she follows him across town to return it to him. Kind of like a female knight in shining armour!
We can't wait to hear more music from Hilary Duff, and hopefully more details on her upcoming LP become available soon.


The design and development plan will outline the steps in the process, specify who is responsible for each part of the design/development process and outline all the inputs to the process. It will also outline what is the validation activity mandatory to be conducted at the end of each stage to ensure success. The design and development plan may alter as the design progresses.

Published on : Disember 2, 2022 Published by : lee
Tokyo and San Francisco, Dec 2, 2022 – (JCN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) – NEC Corporation and SINAI Technologies lnc., a software company that supports the transformation of companies and organizations to achieve their net-zero targets, will commence collaboration on businesses that support decarbonization in November 2022.
In December 2021, NEC established an ecosystem-based corporate venture capital (CVC) fund, the NEC Orchestrating Future Fund (NOFF), which accelerates collaboration with customers and partners and introduces new services, knowledge, and technologies through investing in startups in order to lead an ecosystem for social value creation(1).
NOFF invested in SINAI in September 2022, recognizing that SINAI's decarbonization business could greatly contribute to the achievement of NOFF's vision. NEC and SINAI have now decided to strengthen their relationship, aiming to create new social value and contribute to a carbon-free society.
By creating a partnership between NEC's GreenGlobeX environmental performance management solution and SINAI's Decarbonization Intelligence Platform for Reducing CO2 Emissions, the two companies will combine NEC's know-how in efficiently collecting and aggregating environmental data from multiple international bases, with SINAI's expertise in measuring and reporting Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions(2), calculating baselines for future CO2 emissions forecasts, formulating scenarios for low-carbon emissions, carbon pricing, and value chain management.
As a result, the two companies will be able to provide total support for efforts to decarbonize by making data collection and storage visible, then analyzing collected data and proposing CO2 reductions.
Going forward, the two companies will pursue new business opportunities that combine NEC's carbon management business with SINAI's emission visualization and reduction platforms for specific industries. Through this, the two companies aim to create an ecosystem for clients seeking to achieve decarbonization.
Kazuhiko Shiraishi, Senior Vice President, Public Solutions Business Unit, City Infrastructure Solution Division, NEC, said, "Under the Mid-term Management Plan 2025, NEC has positioned 'Carbon Neutral-Related Business' as a growth business, and has pledged to contribute to the realization of a carbon-free society by utilizing IT technologies and data management. As part of this collaboration with SINAI, which has a strong track record of collaborating with prominent companies, particularly in South America, we will be able to provide not only visualization of CO2 emissions, but also a broad range of solutions, from predicting future emissions to proposing specific methods of reducing emissions. Together with SINAI, we will contribute to the realization of carbon neutrality for customers and communities throughout the world."
SINAI Founder and CEO Maria Fujihara, said, "We are excited to be working with NEC to help more global companies develop a strategy for reaching net zero. As a partner, NEC shares our goal of reversing climate change, their team adds a high level of expertise, and they bring an innovative approach to the use of technology. Together, we can make a bigger impact, both in Japan and around the world."

Vulnerability Management: Assess & Prioritize
Advantio Team July 5, 2021
The assessment phase is when vulnerabilities are identified and it includes the proper identification of all assets in scope, scanning for vulnerabilities, and reporting the findings.
Identify assets
The organization must implement asset discovery for all technology environments included in the scope of the VM program. An updated CMDB is the preferred way to manage asset data, however, most organizations are unable to consistently maintain such a database. In this regard, VA tools provide different asset discovery capabilities. A VM program should account for changes to the business and an evolving IT environment and consequently, organizations must also connect the VM program to the existing change management processes.
Scan for vulnerabilities and report the findings.
VA should be more frequent than remediation, but in most cases, it doesn't need to be drastically more frequent; PCI DSS 11.2 and 6.1 indicate that you should scan quarterly and patch within 30 days of vulnerability release, respectively; however, these are lower bounds for meeting compliance standards. The minimum scanning frequency an organization can achieve depends not only on the size and of the technology environment to be scanned, but also on the processing overhead defined around the scan.
Vulnerability scans are usually performed during non-business hours to minimize potential impacts and it's good practice that the scans do not compete with other resource-intensive activities (backups and file transfers). As with any other activity running during off-hours, the availability of resources for support and troubleshooting should be planned. In highly regulated IT environments, coordinating the scans with change management processes is an important requirement.
The best way to prioritize vulnerabilities is based on the associated security risk posed to the organization. A good framework for vulnerability prioritization has four components that fall into two categories — vulnerability context and asset context.
Defining the prioritization method
The definition of a prioritization method depends on a few factors, ranging from the complexity of the environment to the context data available. It is important to remember that prioritization approaches and the data that fuels them must be re-evaluated from time to time (prioritize risk proactively and reactively). The following are the most useful methods:
Prioritizing by vulnerability severity: many organizations rely almost exclusively on vulnerability severity to prioritize their remediation efforts; the base Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a popular standard to represent vulnerability severity, and CVSS base scores are often mapped onto a qualitative scale of critical/high/medium/low (PCI DSS, for example, relies on qualitative ratings based on CVSS scores).
Adding asset data to vulnerability prioritization: the information about the assets is often not available or must be obtained manually by the organizations. Some organizations have information about their assets available in existing datasets, as a CMDB. It is important to remember that this information cannot be provided by an external party, such as a third-party supplier.
Adding threat data to vulnerability prioritization: threat data relies primarily on threat intelligence: how vulnerabilities are being exploited by threat actors. This information can be conveyed in different ways. One example is simply statistics of observed incidents involving specific vulnerabilities. Another example is identifying additional context that indicates the level of attacker interest and ease with which vulnerability could be exploited. Context can be provided as labels for the vulnerabilities in the order of increasing security risk. These labels can be used to reflect the likelihood that a vulnerability will be exploited by an attacker.
Organizations often produce a prioritization model based on a combination of factors and the decision of which factors to use is based on multiple aspects, including the availability of data, granularity provided, required tools, and amount of effort involved in applying the resulting criteria.
Some technologies are recommended for organizations that want to simplify their prioritization efforts; modern vulnerability assessment and Risk-Based Vulnerability Management (RBVM) vendors are pioneering the evolution of VM with the dynamic addition of threat data to the prioritization process. They are also leveraging more sophisticated scoring methodologies, including predictive models for vulnerability exploitation. The VA vendors themselves are also expanding their products to include RBVM capabilities.
In the next articles of the series, we will talk about the remediation of vulnerabilities.
