Q: I'm starting an activity from a broadcast receiver, but why is my other activity also starting? In my app, there is an MainActivity and an AlarmActivity. MainActivity is used to set an alarm. AlarmActivity is used to show the alarm. In the middle, I have a class that implements BroadcastReceiver, to receive the pending intent that was scheduled in MainActivity. The issue I'm having is two fold.
1) MainActivity is being created when I'm only expecting AlarmActivity to be created from the onReceive method seen below.
2)When AlarmActivity does get created, it is destroyed right afterwards. Please see my logs below.
Please note, this ONLY happens when I turn the screen off. If I destroy MainActivity and keep the screen on until the alarm goes off, all is well. If I let MainActivity  live, and keep the screen on, AlarmActivity shows up on top of MainActivity , as expected. Otherwise, if the screen is OFF... AlarmActivity is shown for a split second, then it disappears, and I see MainActivity  on screen. What gives?
Here is where I schedule the alarm. Not that the callingContext variable is the context from my MainActivity class.
 Intent intentAlarm = new Intent(this.callingContext, AlarmActivity.class);

        //Get the Alarm Service
        AlarmManager alarmManager = (AlarmManager) callingContext.getSystemService(Context.ALARM_SERVICE);

     //user our intent and give it a time to broadcast at
          alarmManager.set(AlarmManager.RTC_WAKEUP,alarmTime, PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.callingContext, 1, intentAlarm, PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT));

public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {

    final String TAG=this.toString();

    @Override
    public void onReceive(Context arg0, Intent arg1) {
        Log.i(TAG,"onReceive");

        //start a new activity, an alarm has gone off

        //See that I've tried using the application context, but this did not help.
        //Context context=arg0.getApplicationContext();
        Intent intent=new Intent(arg0,AlarmActivity.class);

        //This flag is required for starting an activity outside of an activity.
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);

        intent.putExtra("ACTIVITY_STARTED_FROM_BROADCAST_RECEIVER",true);
        arg0.startActivity(intent);
    }
}

A: There is no reason why MainActivity is being created. Only problem I found with your code is in below line:
Intent intentAlarm = new Intent(this.callingContext, AlarmActivity.class);

Here you are creating a intent with Activity class but in your pending intent you are using getBroadCast() method. It should be:
Intent intentAlarm = new Intent(this.callingContext, AlarmReceiver.class);

I have not tried your code but this can be a cause of your issue.
Please make this change and check if Mainactivity is still getting created?

A: From looking at your code and logs I think your problem is calling onBackPressed in your fragment.
11-27 21:56:46.206  29370-29370/com.example.videoalarmt I/AlarmFragment{41edaa40 #0 id=0x7f0a0024}﹕ onPause

Your AlarmFragment.onPause should not be calling getActivity().onBackPressed(). This is most likely what is causing your activity to close. Simply remove that line in AlarmFragment.onPause and I think your issue will be resolved.

A: In onReceive() of BroadcastReceiver, you can not perform operation more then 10sec.  see here official doc  .
when screen is lock then cpu stop working see here
so when screen lock then and cpu stop working and time gets more then 10 sec that time you get this error.
so prevent from this error you should you wake lock. using this your application when screen lock.
and also see this link1 link2
I hope my informations is helpful for you to resolved your problem.

A: intent intent = new Intent(context, WordService.class);
context.startService(intent);

A: As I understood from you this behaviour appear. When you open your main activity and then set the alarm then close the screen before the alarm receiver gets it. then when you turn the screen on again you see the alarm activity flashes and disappear.
Based on this here is the explanation:

Since it work in background, the receiver gets the alarm while the
  screen is off. what is happening that the receiver start the alarm
  activity and since the screen is off the alarm activity get paused and
  the alarm fragment closes it. but, all these events get stacked until
  you unlock the screen and you see all of them happening.

You can postpone the alarm activity launch after the screen gets on. When alarm receiver get something, check for screen. if it closed save the alarm settings in the SharedPreferances. You can set a broadcast receiver to check the screen events on and off. on screen on check your shared preferences for a postponed alarm and start your alarm activity after you clear your shared preferences.
Another solution is to add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

permission to your manifest and set the screen on when your receiver gets something. and in your screen on receiver start your alarm activity.
You also should use go with getActivity().finish() not getActivity().onBackPressed() to close an activity.

A: Whenever the lock button is pressed the app goes into pause mode.If you want your application to do something (or keep doing something) you need to handle this in the onPause() method of your main activity.

Two clips version of the Few Good Men movie about Marine and Military law at Guantanamo, this one, base on a real case that arose in MarCorps history.
Thank you Ralph for your dommentary on the new TV series about Marine Legal service and practice. Am looking forward to seeing this new series called Code.


A guy could live in his favourite pair of jeans! My dad pretty much does! These ones kind of match some my dad has too and now I get why he wears them so often! They go with everything and are super duper comfy! They've got just enough stretch so I can run around and play in them no problem!


It was in 1961 when the Smoker family launched their first boat and over 50 years later the Smoker family is still building their Smoker Craft aluminum fishing boats handmade in New Paris, Indiana. While not the the biggest Millentia, the 172 is a pro style compact V bottom boat that will be home in the garage ready for a weekend of family fishing fun or a serious fishing tournament with the best of the best.
With a length of 17 feet 2 inches, you can first see where the 172 gets it name, but you'll also realize that it will fit nicely in your garage, swing away tongue or not. It's a boat that seems to change shape because when you stand next to it at the dock it's hard to believe it is only a hair over 17 feet. That's because it makes use of every inch of the 91 inch beam. The transom width is 88 inches which tells me that it has a big footprint, making it stable at rest.
But what is really to thank for that is the exclusive Hydra Lift Hull and its reverse chine design. Five keels along the bottom as well as spray rails that are rolled into the side panels give you a boat that jumps on plane, tracks straight at all speeds and keeps water down and away for one of the driest rides in the industry.
Tested with the band new Yamaha VF115 VMAX SHO I recorded stellar performance numbers. The all new lightweight four stroke to plane in under 3 seconds and to 20 mph in 3.8 seconds. While settling into a comfortable cruise of 29 mph at 4000 rpm I noticed how not only smooth the ride was but how quiet it was too. During construction, Smoker Craft first installs the flooring then injects foam that helps with buoyancy but also absorbs noise. Their competitors tend to spray the foam in then cut it down to install the flooring. That can lead to uneven spots and the chance for water to pool up, never a good thing.
While we didn't experience much in the way of rough water, when I crossed back over my own waves from turning around the spray rails deflected the water down and away. Should you happen to run into rough water conditions you will be thankful hearing about the Advance Integrated Rib System or AIRS which are hat shaped ribs that conform around the bow of the boat and overlap the stringers strengthening the critical area of the running surface. Competitors like to use double plating but if you want a comparison think about it like cardboard and paper. You can stack many sheets of paper on another which yes will make it stronger than a single piece but when compared to cardboard not nearly as strong. Smoker is cardboard and competitors are paper.
When looking at the fishing features, you will find locking rod storage not only in the bow between the consoles but in the gunnels as well. Multi species anglers are going to love this as they don't have to limit how many rods they bring. The gunnels are wides enough as well to add downrigger mounts or Bert's Custom Tackle track pads for multiple accessory options.
There is a 15-gallon livewell in the bow and a 21-gallon livewell in the stern. Three fishing chairs are standard. If you wish to add more seating you can either get another seat or go for the optional fold down stern jumper seats. I would spend the extra money and go with that option simply because it also increases the size of your rear casting deck.
Touching back on performance I must say I was sincerely impressed with how well the new Yamaha 115 VMAX performed when paired up with the 172. I already mentioned how fast it jumped to plane, but then keep going and I hit a top speed of 46 mph at the rev limit of 6000 rpm. The boat was lightly loaded with just myself on board. Put two more guys in it, a full tank of gas, batteries and fishing gear and I estimate you would lose about 6 mph but even still that makes for a great performing package.
Finally it's worth noting that when you purchase a Smoker Craft, you're now a member of the family. Still a family owned and operated company, Smoker Craft puts those values into every boat they build. Not that you would it, but Smoker Craft also has one of the best Warranties in the business with their Lifetime Plus 6. There is a limited lifetime warranty on all the hard elements like rivets, aluminum and plywood and 6 years on all the soft touch elements like vinyls, carpets, stereo and wiring.
You work hard for your money so it's nice to know your investment is protected. But once you get out for that first ride and fish you will know it was money well spent.

2020 Holiday Gift Guide: Books for Kids
I'll likely be back with another one or two, but this is my last planned gift guide of the 2020 season (you can find all gift guides here). I took my research seriously and ventured to two of our local independent bookstores to check out the books on their shelves.

The boy tries to cope by stuffing down his feelings, but with a little help and artistic inspiration, the boy realizes his feelings are something to be celebrated.
FIFTEEN // Our Class is a Family: In Our Class is a Family, kids learn that their classroom is a place where it's safe to be themselves, it's okay to make mistakes, and it's important to be a friend to others.

I have seen Kung Fu Hustle in the Cinema and I definitly need the DVD to watch it again and maybe again and again.
The Kung Fu Hustle DVD sells for $16.98 on Amazon.com. The other killer martial Arts movie of the moment is ONG-BAK, which starts shipping end of August for $19.59 from Amazon.com. This Thai Worrier movie is out of this world.


A fascinating biography, written creatively in the form of stories from Ruth's life. Each one illustrates an aspect of God's grace as it has been worked out in her daily life.
A sensitive, finely written portrayal of a spiritually guided life, ideal for personal and group reflection.


Shocking as it may be, there are a couple of bills on which both Democrats and Republicans are working together. Also in the news, the temperature in Hell is reported as crisp.
So, though all these efforts could be derailed by the same belligerent minority missing links in the GOP, this weekend's music thread is dedicated to working together, togetherness, making a difference, standing up and being part of something bigger.
Hey Ad, thanks for putting up a music thread. My modem is shot and quite temperamental.
No worries KT. Hope you gave your modem a hard time back for a byte!


We have a new feature on this web site which lists some of my public conversations and interviews – and the occasional blog mention. These include some wonderful spoken word from the ABC, including the interviews with Rachael Kohn (The Spirit of Things) and John Cleary (Sunday Nights) which gave me very special opportunities to talk at depth about what Seeking the Sacred offers. More radio interviews with Richard Adey, Jill Emberson and Chris Stewart.
I have also included Toni Whitmont's "Ten Terrifying Questions", plus interviews with the CAPA Magazine, of specific interest for therapists, and with Rosamund Burton for Nova.
Just go to http://www.stephaniedowrick.com/stephanie-dowrick/conversations/ I suspect downloads are for limited times only – so enjoy!
It's always a mixed blessing to be interviewed! It's part of what every writer does these days and I am more than grateful for the chance to talk about my work, but that gratitude increases a thousand-fold when the interviewer is thoroughly engaged and thoughtful.
In a few weeks there will also be some video up on YouTube. (That's definitely outside my limited range of techno skills!) Meanwhile, please enjoy these talks – and of course if you want to comment, you can do so on my new but fast-developing Facebook page.

# DOM

MDC DOM provides commonly-used utilities for inspecting, traversing, and manipulating the DOM.

Most of the time, you shouldn't need to depend on `mdc-dom` directly. It is useful however if you'd like to write custom components that follow MDC Web's pattern and elegantly integrate with the MDC Web ecosystem.

## Installation

```
npm install @material/dom
```

## Basic Usage

```js
import * as ponyfill from '@material/dom/ponyfill';
```

> See [Importing the JS component](../../docs/importing-js.md) for more information on how to import JavaScript.

## Ponyfill Functions

The `ponyfill` module provides the following functions:

Function Signature | Description
--- | ---
`closest(element: Element, selector: string) => ?Element` | Returns the ancestor of the given element matching the given selector (which may be the element itself if it matches), or `null` if no matching ancestor is found.
`matches(element: Element, selector: string) => boolean` | Returns true if the given element matches the given CSS selector.
`estimateScrollWidth(element: Element) => number`  | Returns the true optical width of the element if visible or an estimation if hidden by a parent element with `display: none;`.

## Event Functions

External frameworks and libraries can use the following event utility methods.

Method Signature | Description
--- | ---
`util.applyPassive(globalObj = window) => object` | Determine whether the current browser supports passive event listeners

## Focus Trap

The `FocusTrap` utility traps focus within a given element. It is intended for usage from MDC-internal
components like dialog and modal drawer.

Method Signature | Description
--- | ---
`trapFocus() => void` | Traps focus in the root element. Also focuses on `initialFocusEl` if set; otherwise, sets initial focus to the first focusable child element.
`releaseFocus() => void` | Releases focus from the root element. Also restores focus to the previously focused element.

## Announce

The `announce` utility file contains a single helper method for announcing a message via an `aria-live` region. It is intended for usage from MDC-internal components.

Method Signature | Description
--- | ---
`announce(message: string, options?: AnnouncerMessageOptions) => void` | Announces the message via an `aria-live` region with the given options. `AnnouncerMessageOptions.priority` defaults to polite and `AnnouncerMessageOptions.ownerDocument` defaults to the global document.
<!-- TODO(b/148462294): Remove once only exported members are required in docs `say()` --> <!-- | --> <!-- DO NOT USE -->

## Keyboard

The `keyboard` utility provides helper methods for normalizing `KeyboardEvent` keys across browsers. It is intended for usage from MDC-internal components.

Method Signature | Description
--- | ---
`normalizeKey(evt: KeyboardEvent) => string` | Returns a normalized string derived from `KeyboardEvent`'s `keyCode` property to be standard across browsers.
`isNavigationEvent(evt: KeyboardEvent) => boolean` | Returns `true` if the event is a navigation event (Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Left, Up, Right, Down).

## Mixins

The module provides a single SASS mixin which helps improves a DOM element's UX for high-contrast mode users.

Mixin | Description
--- | ---
`transparent-border` | Emits necessary layout styles to set a transparent border around an element without interfering with the rest of its component layout. The border is only visible in high-contrast mode. The target element should be a child of a relatively positioned top-level element (i.e. a ::before pseudo-element).

10 Failed Inventions That Were Ahead Of Their Time
by Sophie Cross
Just imagine – you've got the perfect idea for the next big thing, you've done your research and you've got the funding. But the business fails, only to be replicated successfully a few years later when the market is ready for it. We're going to chart ten inventions that didn't take off when they were launched but are now seen as influential, perhaps providing the basis for future technology and proving that timing is everything.
Who knew that Microsoft actually invented the tablet a decade before Apple? At the turn of the century, Bill Gates predicted that his tablet would be "the most popular form of PC sold in America within five years" only for it to die a death soon after. The main issue was that Microsoft envisaged their tablet to replace the desktop as the customers' main use computer. It was designed with the same operating system as a PC and had a price tag to match at around $2000. Apple came along later and designed their tablet with a different operating system, look and feel, realising that it couldn't replace a laptop or computer, but would be an additional product.
"He [Steve Jobs] did some things better than I did," reflected Bill Gates. "His timing in terms of when it came out, the engineering work, just the package that was put together. The tablets we had done before, weren't as thin, they weren't as attractive."
Thomas Edison's Electric Pen
The genius Thomas Edison held 1093 patents and invented the incandescent light bulb, one of the first motion picture cameras and, in 1875, the electric pen! The pen plugged into a battery and made small holes in the paper as you wrote. The idea was that it was easy to make copies by rolling ink over the original which would go through the holes. The pen didn't sell well though so Edison sold the patent to Albert Blake Dick who mechanised it and turned it into the mimeograph (the first standard office copying machine). Later the idea of the pen was taken and combined with an ink depositor to make the tattoo gun.
Facebook logged over 17 billion video calls in 2017 and Skype was reported to have 300 million active monthly users in the same year. Add this to Apple FaceTime, Google Hangouts and all the other video calling and conferencing software that is being used and you have some very large numbers. They would no doubt totally impress and perplex the makers of the AT&T Picturephone which had its first public unveiling in 1964 at their exhibit at Disneyland California. The video below shows the inaugural call being made at the launch of commercial service in the first test city, Pittsburgh.
The company tried and failed to launch the product again and again throughout the rest of the century putting it down to the product being too intrusive, expensive and not good enough quality. As webcams started to become mainstream on computers we found that the ease of use and price were big factors in the original shortcomings of the video phone but actually that people were not afraid to be seen.
Xerox Alto
The Xerox Alto was the first ever computer launched in 1973 but it had no commercial success. It is still credited as paving the way for the information technology industry today but it is one school of thought that Xerox spent too much time and money on research and inventions and not enough on innovation and commercialisation (something that Apple are renowned to do well).
"Alto is the direct ancestor of today's personal computers," says Thomas Haigh, a Computer Historian. "It provided the model: GUI, windows, high-resolution screen, Ethernet, mouse, etc. that the computer industry spent the next 15 years catching up to."
Ask Jeeves
The 1990s, when we were all doing The Macarena, trying to keep our Tamagotchis alive and, most incredibly, using multiple search engines. Shout out to Lycos, AltaVista, Yahoo and everyone's favourite knowledgable cartoon butler, Jeeves. But despite leading the search engine race for a period in the late nineties by being the first to understand natural language queries, Ask Jeeves (or any of the others) could not compete with Google who won the race with its superior technology, user-experience and advertising model.
Google now holds an 89.1% market share according to Statista.com. Ask.com is still there, rebranded now as a "question and answer site" as opposed to a search engine, although we're not really sure the difference.
Google is constantly watching, analysing and evolving. By utilising the massive amounts of data they collect from each of us using their products, they are able to constantly deliver a better, more relevant, and user-friendly product than any of their competitors.
Bryan Clarke on why Google came out on top Makeuseof.com
In 1999 everything looked so promising for the Sega Dreamcast – it was the first video console to offer online gameplay and interactive memory cards. It also had the biggest media launch to date. By 2001, sales had been discontinued and Sega was only to produce software from then on. The Dreamcast suffered terribly from piracy as PC users were at the same time learning how to burn their own CDs. The Dreamcast didn't have any restrictions for ripping CD-R discs which were then sold on illegally much cheaper or put online.
The final nail in the coffin for Sega was Sony announcing the release of the PlayStation 2. It was to have broadband online connectivity (the Dreamcast only offered dial-up), it was much faster with more memory and offered playback. While the Dreamcast sold 10 million units over two years, the PlayStation 2 sold 155 million units and it was 12 years before it was discontinued.
Microsoft SPOT Watch
It was déjà vu for Bill Gates after Microsoft launched the SPOT Watch in 2004. The watch used FM waves to receive MSN messages, news, sports scores and weather updates and it didn't even need connecting to a primary device. But again, the design was unattractive and the price tag was high, even for the novelty value of the first wearable tech. Cellular broadband data was also now appearing bringing with it real mobile smart devices which meant the SPOT was soon forgotten. Only to see the Apple Watch have roaring success with a similar product years later.
LetsBuyIt.com
In 1999 LetsBuyIt was the number one name in volume discount retailing – bringing customers together to secure better prices for goods by purchasing at the same time – a brand new idea at the time in e-tailing. They ran famous adverts with ants, demonstrating the power of a group. But within a couple of years, the company were in serious financial trouble. Nowadays, Groupon leads the way with a very similar business model. Where LetsBuyIt failed, their success can be attributed to the rise of social media, the sharing that comes with it and their focus on local serviced based sales, as opposed to consumer products.
Apple Newton MessagePad
It must be a relief for Bill Gates to see an Apple product feature on this list! Apple's pocket-sized, handheld "personal digital assistant" (PDA) launched in 1993 and was able to take notes, store contacts and manage calendars. The device was an epic failure, largely down to being launched around a time where the company was in some turmoil. Steve Jobs was about to reclaim his position as CEO and the company had way too many projects on the go leading them to rush this product out, forgetting about the most important thing – the consumer.
"We were just way ahead of the technology. We barely got it functioning by '93 when we started shipping it." Steve Capps
The Newton MessagePad lead the way for taking the computer out of the office and for Palm Pilot to later have more success with their handheld PDA which focused on the user. It was also the first time we'd seen technology that could take a sentence like "dinner with Anna tomorrow" and turn that into a calendar item, the way we do today with Siri.
Twitter Peek
In a world where everyone does everything on their smartphones, the limited functionality of the Twitter Peek seems ridiculous. And indeed in 2009 when the bright turquoise Blackberry shaped device launched, it still seemed fairly ridiculous. The idea was that it would bring the joy of tweeting on the go to those without a smartphone and to help newbies finally "get" Twitter. But Twitter was literally all it did – no emails, internet browser or phone calls. And it didn't even do Twitter very well – the $100 gadget only supported a single Twitter account. However, the single-use purpose that we shunned is now starting to have a real impact on our lives with the Internet of Things (IoT) where our everyday devices are connected to the Internet to send and receive data.

DON'T BELIEVE THE OFFICIAL FIGURES!
The UK now has a prime minister who is regarded by many of his own citizens (and Labour MPs) as a war criminal.
The British and other Western media has long since given up the ghost of even pretending to be fair.
The only people who can stop Bush and Blair in their plan to carve up the world is us. They know this and they use every trick in the propaganda rulebook, aided by a largely un-questioning and subservient media.


Nutrition. It's a critical component of our clients' success, yet as fitness professionals we walk a fine line between offering guidance on everyday healthy eating and prescribing nutrition advice that is beyond our scope of practice. In their newly released book Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Health, authors Marie A. Spano, Laura J. Kruskall, D. Travis Thomas simplify the complexity of nutrition and untangle the plethora of misinformation. Whether seeking knowledge on the science of nutrition fundamentals or a more specific application of nutrition, the information is easily referenced; the writing clear, concise and approachable; and the case studies, graphics and learning aids far exceed that of any comparable text. Perhaps one of the most impressive texts available on evidence-based nutrition, especially as a resource for fitness professionals, Nutrition for Sport, Exercise, and Health is certainly a timeless resource well worth the investment.

King's Lynn es una ciudad portuaria del condado de Norfolk, al este de Inglaterra. Es la sede del distrito de King's Lynn y Norfolk Oeste. Según el censo de 2001, tiene 35.345 habitantes.

A lo largo de la historia también ha sido conocida indistintamente como Bishop's Lynn o Lynn Regis. Los naturales la denominan simplemente como Lynn (lago, en celta). Tras Norwich y Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn es la tercera población del condado de Norfolk.

Se localiza en la orilla este del río Gran Ouse, cerca de su desembocadura en el estuario de The Wash, una zona de marismas con bancos de arena cambiantes sometida a los flujos de las mareas. La ciudad se encuentra a 55 km al noreste de Peterborough, 70 km al oeste de Norwich, y al norte y a la misma distancia de Cambridge. El Gran Ouse en King's Lynn alcanza alrededor de 200 m de ancho, siendo el desagüe de gran parte de la red de drenaje creada en los marjales de sus orillas. El arroyo de Gaywood atraviesa la ciudad, uniéndose al Gran Ouse en el extremo sur de South Quay, cerca del centro de la ciudad.

A partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIII, coincidiendo con el general y notable desarrollo de la vida urbana de Inglaterra, el puerto fluvial de King's Lynn empezó a tener importancia.  King's Lynn fue uno de los puertos principales de la Liga Hanseática y hoy tiene la única huella de la Liga en Inglaterra, un viejo almacén, que hoy es oficinas del consejo local.

Sandringham House, la residencia en Norfolk de la familia real británica, se encuentra a 9,7 km al noreste de ella. Es la ciudad natal de George Vancouver (1757-1798), oficial de la Marina Real británica, que fue la primera persona en explorar la costa del Pacífico: la actual provincia canadiense de Columbia Británica y los estados estadounidenses de Alaska, Washington y Oregón, además de la costa suroeste de Australia.

Tanto George Russell, piloto del equipo Mercedes AMG F1 Team de Fórmula 1, como Martin Brundle, ex-piloto de Fórmula 1, ganador de las 24 horas de Le Mans y ganador de numerosos premios de periodismo, nació en la ciudad.

AAD Reading Room 08.18.2020 Comment
Diana Bartenstein, MD, on Working in the COVID-19 Ward
AAD Reading Room Content
by Diana Bartenstein, MD, Dermatology World
This Reading Room is a collaboration between MedPage Today® and:
For too many COVID-19 patients, the end has not only come quickly, but in a difficult, chaotic, environment. Some patients who do not survive are also forced to be isolated in hospital rooms in their final days, kept at a distance from professional caregivers at times, and worse, left to face death alone without family at their bedside. It's a heartbreaking scenario. It's also a scenario that has been rare for dermatologists. Until now.
Diana Bartenstein, MD, a PGY-2 dermatology resident at Massachusetts General Hospital, is one of many providers redeployed to work as a responding clinician on an inpatient COVID-19 ward, facing tragic, life and death situations. Just last year, she had been an intern at Brigham and Women's Hospital during her first year of residency, before starting in dermatology. Because she had been an intern so recently, she said it was easy for her to swap back into this role.
"I think we're all looking for ways that we can help in this crisis," she said, "and I felt really grateful that I could give back so readily with a needed skillset."
Seeing a steady, mounting toll of human suffering and human loss has the potential to sap one's spirit, particularly in situations that sometimes appear to be insurmountable. Still, Bartenstein is a positive individual, determined to face life and death situations with courage and compassion.
"I was thinking about how I would want someone in my family to be taken care of if they were hospitalized," she said. "I've lived in the Boston area my entire life, so patients often feel like they could be my grandmother, or someone from my own family."
Bartenstein felt that familial tug recently when she encountered a patient who was facing a grim future.
"I was taking care of a COVID-19 patient in our ward, an elderly woman. With no visitors allowed at our hospital until a patient is definitively at their end of life, she was very much alone, facing the decision of whether to focus on 'comfort measures only.' It was a decision that could end her life in a matter of hours to days."
Although she had been encouraged to spend as little time in the rooms of the patients as possible -- to minimize exposure -- Bartenstein, replete with PPE gear, talked to the patient whenever she could. She talked to the woman about her medical decisions, the disease, and the woman's family. It would be a brief connection, but a potent one.
"She told me she didn't think she would be able beat this virus. She also asked me how the virus came to affect so many people. We talked about suspected transmission from animals and what else I had read about epidemiology in the news. Then I asked her to tell me more about her kids and grandkids."
Nearing the end of her life, knowing that she was going to die soon, the woman allowed herself a small treat -- some comfort food.
"Her nurse and I were both with her, but her nurse left the room so she could shut off the oxygen alarms that would inevitably go off while she was eating, and I stayed to help the patient temporarily remove her oxygen mask, so that she could take food. Then I sat with her while she quietly ate," Bartenstein said. "I spent as much time as I could in her room the next morning to keep her company until her daughter arrived, and then she passed peacefully later that day."
Bartenstein was grateful to have been able to be there for a patient in need.
"Sometimes there is nothing left for you to do but listen," she said. "And when there is nothing left to say -- you just need to be there."

Brentford 1-3 Manchester United: Elanga, Greenwood…
Leicester City 2-3 Tottenham: Bergwijn's stunning …
Colombia 2-2 Argentina: Borja levels in 94th minute as Messi's La Albiceleste blow two-goal lead
By	Sports Desk	June 08, 2021
Miguel Borja scored in the fourth minute of stoppage time as Colombia came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw with Argentina in CONMEBOL World Cup qualifying.
Colombia substitute Borja produced a bullet header in the 94th minute to pinch a share of the spoils after Argentina had raced to a two-goal lead inside the opening eight minutes on Tuesday.
Goals from Cristian Romero and Leandro Paredes appeared to have Lionel Messi's Argentina cruising to victory, but Colombia pulled one back early in the second half via Luis Muriel's penalty.
Borja, who was one of three half-time substitutes for Colombia, produced the decisive late intervention, moving his side to eight points from six games in qualifying.
Argentina remain undefeated but have drawn three of their past four qualifiers, having collected 12 points from six games in total on the roar to Qatar 2022.
Atalanta defender Romero powered home a third-minute header from Rodrigo De Paul's set-piece for the visitors, who were two up early after the ball pinballed on the edge of the box, with Paredes producing a composed low finish.
It meant Argentina scored two goals before the first 10 minutes of a World Cup qualifier for the first time since 2011.
Argentina almost had a third inside half an hour when Colombia keeper David Ospina saved Lautaro Martinez's shot and Nicolas Gonzalez fired the rebound into the post.
La Albiceleste were forced into a first-half goalkeeper change after Colombia defender Yerry Mina clattered into Emiliano Martinez, who was stretchered off.
Daniel Zapata flashed a shot wide before the break for Colombia, who reduced the deficit after Nicolas Otamendi was adjudged to have elbowed Mateus Uribe, with Muriel sending substitute keeper Agustin Marchesin the wrong way from the spot.
Messi almost caught out Ospina with a curling 58th-minute free-kick, while the Barcelona superstar's crafty ball set up Martinez for a sharp chance too.
Colombia mounted pressure with Muriel shooting over after Borja's chest down, while another Messi shot forced a low Ospina save.
The hosts found an equaliser deep into injury-time when Juventus star Juan Cuadrado's right-flank cross found Borja whose header went in under Marchesin.

« Guyana recovers from opening round loss to T&T with big 4-0 win over Bahamas Paraguay 0-2 Brazil: Neymar and Paqueta strike as Selecao preserve perfect record »
Lionel Messi has not been included in Lionel Scaloni's latest Argentina squad as he continues to recover from coronavirus.
The Paris Saint-Germain forward has not played a match in almost a month, with the 1-1 Ligue 1 draw at Lorient on December 22 being his most recent outing.
He contracted COVID-19 while back home in Argentina during the mid-season break, forcing him to return to France later than initially planned.
Messi seemed all set to return to action against Lyon on January 9, but PSG said he needed to continue his recovery and then he also missed the 2-0 win over Brest on Saturday.
While he said last week that "I have almost recovered", Messi did reveal on social media that getting over the illness took "longer than I thought".
Given his situation, Argentina have seemingly deemed it pointless risking Messi or further disrupting his recovery given they have already secured qualification for this year's World Cup.
Argentina travel to Chile on Thursday before hosting Colombia five days later, with both opponents still desperately fighting for the right to play at Qatar 2022.
La Albiceleste's other remaining qualifiers are against Venezuela and surprise-package Ecuador in March.
Arteta insists Arsenal 'did the right thing' by requesting Tottenham postponement
Mikel Arteta hit back at Arsenal's critics following the postponement of Sunday's north London derby as he insisted "we did the right thing."
The Gunners were due to make the short trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for a showdown with their fierce rivals, but the game was called off due to a lack of players available to Arteta.
Arsenal were accused of exploiting the Premier League's rules, with the majority of players absent due to injury, suspension or Africa Cup of Nations duty.
The club only one confirmed positive COVID-19 case at the time of lodging an application to get the derby called off, but the Premier League deemed they were unable to meet the required number of available players – 13 outfielders and a goalkeeper – despite their Under-23s having a squad of 16 for a game on Friday.
Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte felt the decision to postpone the match was "very, very strange."
Arsenal manager Arteta hit back on the eve of Thursday's EFL Cup semi-final second leg at home to Liverpool, which he expects to go ahead despite "issues that have not been resolved" in his squad.
Asked what he thought about people saying Arsenal could have played the game, the Spaniard said: "We played against Forest [in the FA Cup] when we had 10 players out and we went to Liverpool and we had many players out.
"We have done that and we have played with academy players when we already have the youngest squad in the league.
"Tomorrow if we have everybody available as I suspect we will play the match because we want to play football."
He added: "I think more than hate [being directed towards Arsenal] there is a lot of respect for Arsenal and that comes from the history of the club, how it's always acted and how it has always conducted itself.
"We know we did the right thing. We worked with the Premier League and the FA to make that decision. If anything we've been very honest at least."
Arteta stressed that it was "100 per cent guaranteed" that Arsenal did not have enough players to face Spurs.
Asked if the criticism of the club could be used as a fuel to drive his team, Arteta said: "We will defend our club tooth and nail. We're not going to get anybody damaging our name or trying to spread lies."
Arteta revealed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is back in London and has undergone tests after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations for medical reasons without playing a game.
The Gabon striker had tested positive for COVID-19 on January 6 and was subsequently diagnosed with "heart lesions".
Arteta said: "He's in London and going through some examinations because we haven't had any clarity from Gabon about why he came back.
"So it's our obligation to make sure he's safe and in good condition. So far historically with what we've done with the player that's never been an issue."
Aubameyang has not featured for Arsenal since December 6, having been stripped of the captaincy due to a breach of club rules.
Arsenal and Liverpool played out a goalless draw in the first leg of their EFL Cup tie at Anfield, with Granit Xhaka seeing red in the first half.
'Nothing has happened' for Hazard at Real Madrid, insists Ancelotti
Carlo Ancelotti has reaffirmed there is no problem with Eden Hazard, who is finding Real Madrid game time hard to come by.
Hazard was an unused substitute in both of Madrid's Supercopa de Espana matches last week in Saudi Araba, as Los Blancos went on to win their first trophy of Ancelotti's second spell in charge.
The former Chelsea star, who turned 31 earlier in January, has endured an injury hit time at Santiago Bernabeu since his big-money move in 2019.
While he has in the main avoided injuries so far this season, Hazard has only made eight starts across all competitions, with his game time totalling 724 minutes.
Hazard has only completed a game on one occasion this season, having been subbed off in his other seven starts, and he has only assisted on two occasions from 27 chances created, failing to score himself.
Per 90 minutes played, Hazard has had 66 touches, with eight in the opposition area.
Vinicius Jr, who has excelled on the left flank – Hazard's preferred position – under Ancelotti, averages nine touches in the area per 90 minutes played, and he has featured 28 times this season in total.
The Brazil international creates 2.2 chances per 90 minutes and he has been directly involved in 22 goals (15 goals, seven assists), second only to Karim Benzema in Madrid's squad (33 – 24 goals, nine assists).
With such quality competition, Ancelotti explained it is natural for players to miss out, but insisted there is no issue between himself and Hazard.
"It is true that the two have had many setbacks due to injuries," Ancelotti told a news conference when asked about Hazard and Gareth Bale, who has played just 193 minutes across three appearances in 2021-22.
"Hazard has been doing well from a physical point of view for a month and a half. I don't have to advise Hazard, he has the character and the experience to choose the best for him.
"The quality of the two could have helped us more, but it's only been the first part of the season. Hopefully the second half can be better.
"Nothing strange has happened between us, simply that there is competition and the coach, which is me, has to choose the best for each game. I try to be fair and choose the best. Sometimes you are very good and you don't play. I'm also talking about Nacho, [Dani] Ceballos, Isco, [Luka] Jovic.
"Nothing has happened, only that there is competition in the team and I have to choose the best in each game. This affects many players, I can't deny it. Nothing has happened, he is training and waiting for the coach's call. I think he will be ready when it arrives."
Asked if Hazard might be moved out this month, Ancelotti said: "At the moment he is still a Madrid player, he is training, focused... We have nothing else to think about."
While Hazard did travel to Saudi Arabia for the Supercopa tournament, Bale instead remained in Madrid to work on his fitness, and Ancelotti said the Wales forward is available for Thursday's Copa del Rey meeting with Elche.
"He will be in the squad and all those who are have the chance to play from the beginning or as a sub. It can also happen that they don't play," the Italian added.
Thibaut Courtois will not be available due to a minor injury.

The Back End of the Rotation, Part 1
By Anthony Davis
Back End of the Rotation Part 1
Anyone who follows this team at all closely, or even glances at the rotation can tell you that the back end of our rotation sucks. Aaron Harang and Jeremy Bonderman are not MLB level starters. There is no way you could ever convince me otherwise. So I'm going to go over the potential replacements and the reasons why Harang and Bonderman could be replaced and may not be. Here is a hint: it's not pretty. In Part 1 I'll talk about Harang, Erasmo Ramirez and James Paxton. Part 2 will be up tomorrow at about the same time and will discuss Jeremy Bonderman, Blake Beavan, Hector Noesi, and Brandon Maurer.
Aaron Harang
First and foremost, I would like to say that the nickname "The Harangatan" is one of the worst ever, and I am willing to sue on behalf of all Orangutans for psychological damages for being linked to that nickname. Second of all, Harang has had some very good games. He leads the league in complete game shutouts. Yes. Read that again. I'm not kidding. Baseball is weird. However, his complete game shutouts came against the Astros and the Padres. Two very bad hitting teams and the Padres start was in Petco, which is still a pitchers park, albeit to a lesser degree than the past. Here are Harang's stats with the two shutouts removed. 8.30 ERA, 8.3 K/9. That is awful, but even when those two games are included his ERA is over 5.50. He is like a super poor mans Jason Vargas. And I really did not like Jason Vargas. I will admit this, Harang has also had two solid starts against the Pirates and Orioles, two of the better hitting clubs in the league. In short, Harang has faced some bad offenses in favorable conditions and done well. He has also faced some good offense and done poorly much more often. Get him out of here.
Erasmo Ramirez
Was anybody else concerned that Bartolo Colon ate Erasmo in Spring Training? But seriously, I was very concerned about his arm injury. After the team announced it there was no news. Nothing about him rehabbing or doing a throwing program, it seemed like Erasmo was destined for a year on the DL and possibly Tommy John. Anyway, he eventually did do a throwing program and some rehab and is now in AAA Tacoma and he hasn't lost a step. In his 20.2 innings pitched, he has allowed 2 runs, 4 walks and has struck out 18. And I'll go ahead and remind everyone that he turned 23 in May. So yes, everyone should be very excited for him to get to Seattle and be there for a while. It is only a matter of time before he is called up and Aaron Harang looks to be the one who will be leaving.
Rick Scuteri-USA TODAY Sports
Once a member of the vaunted "Big Three", Paxton has seen a lot of his prospect polish die recently because of his struggles in AAA Tacoma. I don't understand why that has happened, he has the same stuff he did last year and is still 24. His 5.18 ERA is pretty bad, but he has an FIP of 3.67; meaning that he has been the victim of some bad luck and command issues. His .385 BABIP corroborates the bad luck part and his 4.23 BB/9 agrees with the command issues. Essentially Paxton is the same pitcher he was last year, and that is the issue. The team wants to see him figure out his command and he has not been able to do that consistently. I don't see Paxton coming up anytime this year, but he is an option and I do think he will compete for a spot next year.

I figured the same, but it's difficult. Where to find a Whores in Notre-Dame-de-Lourdes-de-Ham - I have a close family friend whose parents divorced when she was young, and it was a tough experience for everyone to go through. Their world was turned upside down as she went from a full household to living with just her mom and seeing her dad a couple of times a week. Eventually, though, the pain started to heal, they all fell into a routine that worked for them, and the parents started thinking about dating again. Or are we just shallow.

Q: Convert null terminated string to non-null terminated string in C I'm writing a code for my project in C. I need to add a loop so that the ip_address can be passed to inet_addr() from the array and I can print the send & receive the data. But my code is only executing till printf("Send \n") and I'm not receiving anything after that. The program seems to just hang up & I'm not getting any errors too. Also, the code is running fine when I'm hardcoding the address(eg."100.12.1.10") directly. I tried various methods but nothing seems to be working. I can't figure it out.
It would be great if you guys have any suggestions.
PS: This is only a part of the whole code and other parts are working fine.
unsigned char *ip_address[25] = { "879.120.8.249",
                                  "232.106.122.6",
                                  "17.105.176.86",
                                  "85.195.823.169", ......}

 for(int k = 0; k < 25; k++) {

        size_t l = strlen(ip_address[k]);
        char address[l];
        //address = (char*)malloc(l);
        memcpy(address, ip_address[k], l+1);

        memset(&servaddr, 0, sizeof(servaddr));
        // Filling server information
        servaddr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        servaddr.sin_port = htons(PORT);
        servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
        servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(address);
        //printf("Ip_address = %s\n", ip_address[k]);
        //printf("address = %s\n", address);

        int n, len=0;
        for(i=0;i<MAXLINE;i++){
        len++;
        if(buffer[i]==62 && buffer[i-1]==62)
            break;
        }
        printf("Len = %d\n", len);
        printf("Send \n");
        sendto(sockfd, (const char *)buffer, len,
            MSG_CONFIRM, (const struct sockaddr *) &servaddr,
                sizeof(servaddr));
        printf("before Receive");
        n = recvfrom(sockfd, (char *)recv_buffer, MAXLINE,
                    MSG_WAITALL, (struct sockaddr *) &servaddr,
                    &len);
        printf("after receive");

        for(i=0;i<n;i++){
            printf("%d,", recv_buffer[i]);
        }
        printf("\n");
        close(sockfd);
    }

A: At least these problems:
Insufficient space
// char address[l];  // too small
char address[l+1];
memcpy(address, ip_address[k], l+1);

Index of -1?
buffer[] not defined, yet buffer[0-1] looks strange
for(i=0;i<MAXLINE;i++){
  len++;
  if(buffer[i]==62 && buffer[i-1]==62)
    break;
}

Perhaps
  //if(buffer[i]==62 && buffer[i-1]==62)
  if(i > 0 && buffer[i]==62 && buffer[i-1]==62)

A: Well, I got it working today somehow.
unsigned char *ip_address[25] = { "879.120.8.249",
                                  "232.106.122.6",
                                  "17.105.176.86",
                                  "85.195.823.169", ......};

Here, I changed the unsigned char to const char, then used the variable directly, and it worked somehow.
servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(ip_address[k]);


Interestingly, many Man United fans and club legend Gary Neville compared Martial's goal to Ronaldo's strike against Fulham, 12 years ago.
"I am sure he will keep improving and he has been fantastic for me".
"When our new coach came in he had a lot of confidence, a lot of determination. We are really happy to have him [Solskjaer] here and we hope we can continue [together], but the final decision isn't with us". PSG are the first big ticket of the new era and can be assured they will face a cauldron of noise.
Lindelof was forced to miss Saturday's 3-0 victory over Fulham at Craven Cottage after picking up a minor knock ahead of the game which made him a slight doubt for the visit of PSG on Tuesday night. Martial's superb solo goal in the 3-0 victory was his 11th of the campaign and evoked memories of Ronaldo's victor over Fulham in 2007.
It may also be the ideal time to run into an injury-ravaged PSG, with the world's most expensive player Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Thomas Meunier all sidelined by injury. "We are guessing a little bit how they will approach this game".

Crunch, Thunderbirds on Facebook Watch tonight
Local goalie makes good

When Garret Sparks was seven years old, his parents, Mike and Lisa, decided it seemed like the right time to introduce him to hockey.
They signed up Garret for the Scooters program at the Elmhurst YMCA – the same outdoor rink where Mike started playing in fourth grade and developed into a goaltender. Scooters, a program that continues to thrive today, encourages parents to get on the ice with their children while teaching the basics of skating and hockey.
"We had a lot of fun," Mike said.
For the final session, the Scooters coaches wanted to hold a scrimmage to show off everyone's progress. Just one problem: Every kid was a skater. Goaltending wasn't part of the program.
With the parents off the ice and watching from the other side of the glass, a coach asked for two kids to volunteer to play goalie. Nobody moved a muscle. So he asked again.
"I distinctly remember looking through the glass and seeing my dad standing there," Garret said. "And being like, 'He'd probably like it if I was goalie.' "
So Garret volunteered.
"Caught me totally by surprise," Mike said.
Dad helped son put on the YMCA's donated equipment: Black and blue pads. Red mask. Yellow jersey. It was a mismatched set of gear, but it was the perfect match for Garret.
"I felt like I could be a bigger factor in the game there," he said. "I just wanted to be important.
"My legs shot out. My hands worked. I could stand there. I could look at the puck. I worked it out. I had a goalie coach. I mean, he was my dad, but he knew how to play goalie. So I had somebody who knew the basics, but wasn't drilling things into my head or giving me ideas about the position. He was just telling me the fundamentals that were going to make me successful."
Has the 26-year-old Chicago Wolves standout been a successful goaltender? Let us count the ways. During his youth hockey years with the Chicago Blues, Chicago Mission and Team Illinois, his teams won either a state, national or international championship all seven years he played.

He had so many trophies crammed into the basement of his Elmhurst home, he wouldn't even pause his rambunctious mini-sticks games when something broke.
"I didn't have any concept of how they might be worth something someday," Garret said. "Not monetarily, but as something you could look back on. They'd be on shelves and they'd fall and I'd be like, 'Eh. Oops.'"
Garret was selected by the Toronto Maple Leafs in the seventh round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. But before he turned pro, he won a gold medal playing for the United States in the 2013 U20 World Junior Championships. His teammates included Seth Jones, Johnny Gaudreau, Shayne Gostisbehere, Ryan Hartman and other NHL mainstays.
Once he turned pro, he kept climbing the ladder. On Nov. 30, 2015, he became the first goaltender in Maple Leafs history to produce a shutout in his first game for the franchise. In 2017-18, he backstopped the AHL's Toronto Marlies to the Calder Cup title and earned the Aldege "Baz" Bastien Award as the league's most outstanding goalie.
Last year, Garret spent the entire season with the Maple Leafs. This year, after being traded to the Vegas Golden Knights organization, Garret has retained his spot at the top of the AHL's statistical charts while playing for the Wolves. He put together a scoreless streak of 191 minutes, 14 seconds Oct. 23 through Nov. 10, breaking the franchise record set by Matt Climie in 2013 while making 115 consecutive saves.
But for all of these achievements and accolades, Garret always has felt like he had to overcome hurdles and doubters in order to prove himself.
In high school, the 6-foot-2, 188-pounder weighed 225 pounds and was told he was too big to succeed in net. As soon as he showed otherwise and the Ontario Hockey League's Guelph Storm drafted him, he was told he needed to lose 20 pounds in order to join their team.
Weight wasn't his only issue. Garret boasts a free spirit's personality kindled, in part, by the fact his parents raised him to be an independent thinker. He also prefers not to turn off the intellect that earned a 32 on the ACT and flirted with straight A's at Elmhurst's York High School.
"A lot of people were like, 'He's pretty raw and his attitude isn't what you'd expect of a hockey player and his process is different and his interests are different,'" Garret said. "A lot of people were willing to write me off at that point."
A FORWARD AT HEART
Which leads to another example of Garret's willingness to go his own way. As much as he enjoys being a goaltender, he might love playing forward even more. When he was playing for the Marlies and Maple Leafs, he'd show up at outdoor rinks randomly in Toronto and play rat hockey with strangers.
"Every once in a while, somebody would recognize me," Garret said. "But I wasn't saying who I was. I was just playing hockey."
"All summer long, he doesn't go anywhere near his goalie equipment," Mike said, "unless it's for a charity game."
Garret started this practice years ago when, in a remarkable coincidence, he struck up a friendship with Robert Levin – the son of Wolves owner Don Levin.
Robert, one year older than Garret, was a junior hockey goaltender before going on to play at Arizona State. Robert and Garret had a mutual goaltender buddy from Libertyville named Joey Garapolo. At some point, Garret discovered Robert and Joey would go to the Wolves' practice facility in Hoffman Estates during the summers and train with Wolves general manager Wendell Young and goalie coach Stan Dubicki. Garret wheedled his way into the group – but not to work on his craft in net.
"He would come out and play forward," Dubicki said. "He just loves playing. He's a hockey-aholic. He just has fun. He's 26 years old, but he's like a 14-year-old kid. It makes him feel great. Actually, I think it makes him a better goalie, too. Because when you start playing forward, you start thinking how they think. And he's a pretty darn good forward. He handles the puck really well."
"I was just shooting for the goalies," Garret said. "I was just doing the drills correctly for them. I wanted to shoot. Wendell, seeing this 18-, 19-, 20-year-old professional goalie refusing to play goalie, that probably blew his mind. I didn't have that drive to put on the pads every day. The agreement was every once in a while I'd play goalie. It was the most fun I've ever had playing hockey and training. It was just enjoyable."
"We'd work hard here," Garret said while sitting in the Hoffman Estates practice facility, "then we'd spend the rest of the day at the Levins' pool house. Then we'd find a way to get back up in the morning and come back here and do it all again. It was amazing. We were living."

"THE WOLVES WILL ALWAYS BE THE WOLVES"
One of Garret's goals while playing for the Wolves this season: Recapturing that "living" feeling he used to have. A bit of it slipped away last season in Toronto, where he dealt with his first serious injury (a concussion) and the fallout that followed.
Garret doesn't just care about how he fares in the net, he cares about how the Wolves fare in the marketplace. He grew up watching the Wolves win big and wants the next generation to be eager to do the same.
"I would see a lot of Wolves games on TV on the nights I didn't have games or I had practices," Garret said. "I enjoyed watching the games. I enjoyed the broadcasts. I was very familiar with who their best players were. As a kid, the Wolves had an impact that the Hawks didn't have because they were accessible. I think we have a special opportunity as a franchise to bridge that gap between the NHL and children who aspire to be at that level.
"For a long time, I've been interested in the whole organizational side of hockey. This is a unique situation where this is a very storied franchise and we have the ability to bring that story forward. This team went to the Calder Cup Finals last year. We have good players. We have good coaches. We have good facilities. We have a great affiliate. The Wolves will always be the Wolves. I just think we can continue to – through winning and how we go about our business – generate buzz about this team in this city."
Garret has sent emails to Wolves officials filled with ideas about how to generate this buzz. One thing he's definitely going to do: Head back to the Elmhurst YMCA and work with kids at that fabled outdoor rink. His current plan is to show up on Feb. 17 when school's out for Presidents' Day.
"Can't wait," he said.

The articles assembled in this book present an account of the life, works and philosophical challenges taken up by seven major philosophers of the Qajar period. As a collection, the articles convey the range and diversity of Qajar philosophical thinking. Besides indigenous thoughts, the book also deals with the reception of European philosophy in Iran at the time.
