Use best practices to maintain productivity in a call center.
3 What Is Inbound & Outbound Customer Service?
A call center is a department set up to handle a large number of outbound and/or inbound calls for such purposes as prospecting for new customers, taking customer orders and providing customer support. To run an efficient and cost-effective call center, understand the best practices employed by other successful call centers.
Set specific goals for call center reps. Monitor performance and have one-on-one coaching sessions with reps who are not achieving goals. Goals could include calls handled per hour, orders per hour, average call time, dollar sales achieved and the percent of calls handled that result in sales (conversion rate).
Rank call center reps. For those performing the poorest, schedule training sessions focused on improving their performance. If, after training and coaching, performance does not improve, warn the employee that performance must improve or her job will be in jeopardy. Offer to support the employee in any way possible. If performance does not improve, arrange for a transfer to another department or job termination.
Publicly commend top-performing reps and give them a bonus or special recognition to acknowledge their superior performance.
Monitor call center rep calls. Where call handling can be improved, discuss improvements in individual coaching sessions. During monitoring, if a rep uses a highly successful method, such as a script that converts well, share his method with staff.
If the call center handles customer calls, periodically survey customers about calls handled and ask if the customer was happy with the way his call was handled. Ask if the rep satisfactorily handled the customer's questions and if the call was handled in a courteous and efficient manner. If the customer complains, ask probing questions to determine the problem.
Use technology to improve call center production. For example, install a predictive dialer. A predictive dialer makes outbound phone calls to a list of prospects and only delivers calls to a rep that are answered by a live person. Answering machines and busy signals are not presented to reps, maximizing the amount of time the rep is talking to a prospective or current customer.
Employ contact management technology to track interactions with customers and prospects. Use technology to keep track of each phone interaction and allow for scheduling the best day and time for call back.

What Are the Business Objectives of a Call Center?


We are asking school research champions to do an impossible job. This isn't a poor reflection of the professionals in these roles – the job is simply too much for one person.
There are three aspects to being a research champion: identifying and analysing data and research; linking up and exchanging ideas between professionals (from policymakers to researchers and practitioners); and building capacity to embed research in the profession. How reasonable is it to expect one person to do all this?
In their 2016 study, The Dark Side of Knowledge Brokering, researchers at the University of Manchester looked at the challenges "knowledge brokers" in healthcare face when trying to embed evidence-based practice. Many of the findings have parallels in schools, where research champions can also face numerous barriers.
Firstly, the skills required to be a research champion are vast. They need to have the ability to find, analyse and digest research, to communicate it effectively, coach and mentor colleagues, implement research or ask others to – and that's just for starters.
They have to be more than just research-literate – they also need good pedagogical knowledge to understand how the research affects teachers. Then they need excellent managerial skills to link up the various educational professionals and maintain credibility with them.
Even if such people do exist, there aren't enough of them to go round England's 20,000-plus schools. The researchers from Manchester argued that healthcare needs to switch from knowledge brokers to knowledge brokering – in the case of schools, this means moving away from research champions to research championing.
Here's an idea of how school leaders can establish teams of research champions in their schools.
Does the team have the combination of skills required for the realisation of all three aspects research championing?
What skills are currently lacking and how can they be developed?
What incentives will support the engagement of a school, department or multi-academy trust (MAT) chain in building capacity around research?
What arrangements are in place to ensure that knowledge makes it into practice?
How will the brokered knowledge integrate with existing ways of doing things in your school?
How can an adequate mix of research, school data, stakeholder views and practitioner expertise and other forms of knowledge be considered in the team?
Does the team have credibility with teachers, support staff, managers, leaders, governors, trustees and external researchers?
How can individuals already championing research informally be identified and engaged?
Are all stakeholder interests represented in your research champion team?
What procedures are in place to support the recognition, promotion and career development of research champions?
What arrangements are in place to spread the knowledge or more experienced champions to novices?
What support structures, such as professional learning communities or peer support groups, are available?
The researchers suggest two steps to developing a knowledge brokering team. The first is to draw on professionals with a range of backgrounds and skills that complement each other. This will give the team the broad skills needed to fulfill the various aspects of the role and, in all likelihood, will involve drawing on the expertise of school leaders, heads of department, teachers and support staff.
Then school leaders need to recognise that championing research is a fundamental part of their role – not just something that can be passed on to others. Research championing needs to be as important as other duties, which means giving resources to help champions fulfil their roles. School leaders will also need patience: developing the skills, knowledge and experience of a research championing team will not happen overnight.
The role of the school research champion is almost impossible so schools need to find innovative ways to champion research. Building teams to do this within schools or MATs may be one way forward – and is worthy of further consideration within the changing educational landscape.

Japan's export credit agency to lend $2 bln to Nissan for U.S. sales financing
TOKYO — Japan's state-owned export credit agency has agreed to give Nissan Motor Co up to $2 billion as part of a credit agreement to help it finance car sales in the United States.
The money is part of a $4.1 billion credit agreement for Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, a unit of Nissan North America, Japan Bank of International Cooperation (JBIC) said in a press release on Wednesday.
Japan's export credit agency to lend $2 bln to Nissan for U.S. sales financing Back to video
The money should help the Japanese company sell cars in the world's second-biggest automarket after China by allowing it to provide customers with loans that they can repay in monthly installments, the export credit agency added in the statement.
The United States "is an important market for Japanese automobile manufacturers. Sales finance has become an important tool in business strategy," JBIC said.
"This case provides financial support for Nissan's overseas business development," it added.
Nissan, Japan's third-largest automaker, is focusing on key markets as it pulls back from the rapid expansion led by ousted Chairman Carlos Ghosn.
It is looking to raise market share with new models in the United States, China and Japan as they rebound from a demand slump triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
This month, Nissan cut its operating loss forecast for the year to March 2021 by 28%, albeit still to a record of about 340 billion yen ($3.2 billion), helped by a rebound in demand, particularly in China. ($1 = 104.3400 yen)

Iterative Development is a key element to adding agility to the development process. The development schedule for a release should be divided into iterations of about 1-3 weeks in length. This length is kept constant, despite pressures to increase length in order to fit "one more feature" in.
The result of this constant iteration size is a rhythm that the process takes on. It provides predictability for the Product Owner, Managers, Developers and Testers alike. The use of shorter iterations also accommodates changes in a system's requirements. Unless a change represents a complete paradigm shift, it is always scheduled for a later iteration based on its priority from the Product Owner's point of view. By having shorter iterations, such a change is at worst a couple of weeks away from being implemented.
The programming tasks shouldn't be scheduled in advance. Instead, these are fleshed out during the Iteration Planning Meeting at the beginning of each iteration.
An Iteration Planning Meeting is called at the beginning of each iteration to produce that iteration's plan of programming tasks. User stories are chosen for this iteration by the Product Owner from the Release Plan in order of the most valuable to the customer first. Failed acceptance tests to be fixed are also selected.
The number and size of Stories selected depends on how much work was completed in the previous iteration. This concept is known as Yesterday´s Weather. This is a risk management activity that addresses the tendency to over-book an iteration, and accommodates estimates that were perhaps too optimistic. The actual value of the Stories completed in the previous iteration is referred to as the Project Velocity.
The selected Stories are then broken down by the developers into the programming tasks required to implement the Stories. These tasks are the detailed plan for the iteration, and should be 1 to 3 ideal programming days in duration. Ideal programming days are how long it would take to complete the task if there were no distractions. Tasks which are shorter than 1 day can be grouped together. Tasks which are longer than 3 days should be broken down even further.
Note that the estimates provided include the time for writing Tests and to perform Refactoring. These practices are critical to reducing the technical debt within the code, and allowing the team to continue to progress towards a completed system.
You should also resist the temptation to adjust estimates in order to "fit" more stories into an iteration. What often happens is that the initial estimate for a story won't match the combined estimates of the tasks required to implement it. That's actually a good safety net to catch stories that were larger than first thought, and the general rule of thumb is to change the story's estimate to match the tasks. That may result in more hours, days or points than specified by Yesterday´s Weather. If that's the case, the Iteration Plan must be adjusted by removing stories (and possibly adding smaller ones) in order to fall within the bounds of the previous iteration´s actual amount of work completed.
If the team happens to complete all of an iteration´s work before the end of the iteration, they approach the Product Owner to ask for more work that will fit the remaining time. This often happens when a previous iteration had a particularly low amount of completed work, possibly due to illness, vacation, etc. It is generally better to use the lower estimate based on Yesterday´s Weather and add Stories, than it is to attempt to account for the differences and try to fit more work in the iteration.

Q: Unable to write gps location to exif I have an app that gets the location of the user using LocationManager and tries to write that data into the Exif Data of an image. For some reason the value never gets written and the location remains null. Here is my function for writing to the Exif and converting the Latitude and Longitude :
 public void geoTag(String filename){
    ExifInterface exif;

    try {
        exif = new ExifInterface(filename);
        int num1Lat = (int)Math.floor(latitude);
        int num2Lat = (int)Math.floor((latitude - num1Lat) * 60);
        double num3Lat = (latitude - ((double)num1Lat+((double)num2Lat/60))) * 3600000;

        int num1Lon = (int)Math.floor(longitude);
        int num2Lon = (int)Math.floor((longitude - num1Lon) * 60);
        double num3Lon = (longitude - ((double)num1Lon+((double)num2Lon/60))) * 3600000;

        exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LATITUDE, /*num1Lat+"/1,"+num2Lat+"/1,"+num3Lat+"/1000"*/);
        exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LONGITUDE, num1Lon+"/1,"+num2Lon+"/1,"+num3Lon+"/1000");

        if (latitude > 0) {
            exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LATITUDE_REF, "N");
        } else {
            exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LATITUDE_REF, "S");
        }

        if (longitude > 0) {
            exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LONGITUDE_REF, "E");
        } else {
        exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LONGITUDE_REF, "W");
        }

        exif.saveAttributes();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        Log.e("PictureActivity", e.getLocalizedMessage());
    }

    }

In my current position the latitude and longitude values are approx 40.42 and -81.92
Any help would be appreciated

A: Can you try this:
int num1Lat = (int)Math.floor(latitude);
int num2Lat = (int)Math.floor((latitude - num1Lat) * 60);
int num3Lat = (int)Math.floor((latitude - num1Lat - ((double)num2Lat)/60) * 3600);

int num1Lon = (int)Math.floor(longitude);
int num2Lon = (int)Math.floor((longitude - num1Lon) * 60);
int num3Lon = (int)Math.floor((longitude - num1Lon - ((double)num2Lon)/60) * 3600);

exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LATITUDE, num1Lat+"/1,"+num2Lat+"/1,"+num3Lat+"/1");
exif.setAttribute(ExifInterface.TAG_GPS_LONGITUDE, num1Lon+"/1,"+num2Lon+"/1,"+num3Lon+"/1");

This code worked for me. For example, one of my EXIF tags (Latitude) showed "37/1,53/1,42/1", which corresponded to 37.895 degrees

For other uses, see The National Archives (disambiguation).
The National Archives building at Kew.
The National Archives (TNA) is a British Governmental organization created in April 2003 to maintain a national archive for "England, Wales and the United Kingdom".[1] There is a separate National Archives of Scotland (formerly the Scottish Record Office), which holds government and private documents relating to Scotland and a similar institution in Northern Ireland is the Public Record Office of Northern Ireland (PRONI).
TNA was formerly four separate organizations: the Public Record Office, the Historical Manuscripts Commission (formerly the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts), the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI) and Her Majesty's Stationery Office (HMSO).
It is institutional policy to include the definite article, with an initial capital letter, in its name (hence "The National Archives," sometimes abbreviated as TNA) but this practice is rarely followed in the media.
2 Key Roles
3.1 Types of Records
3.2 Access to documents
4.1 Learning Curve
4.2 Access to Archives
4.3 National Register of Archives
4.4 ARCHON directory
4.5 'Your Archives'
4.6 Databases
In order to preserve and centralize information about British history, TNA actively contacts other archives, museums, and libraries in the world. In order to centralize information, they obtain catalogs of collections from overseas libraries and inputs them into their own catalog database. TNA has also launched "Your Archive," an online community archive, using the wiki platform. Visitors can make their own contributions and deposit their records into the database.
The National Archives was created in 2003 by combining the Public Record Office and the Historical Manuscripts Commission and is both a Non-Ministerial Government Department in its own right and an Executive Agency reporting to the Secretary of State for Justice. The current Chief Executive (formally Keeper of the Public Records and Historical Manuscripts Commissioner) is Natalie Ceeney, formerly Director of Operations and Services at the British Library. She has replaced Sarah Tyacke (also previously of the British Library), who retired in October 2005.
On October 31, 2006, The National Archives merged with the Office of Public Sector Information (OPSI), which itself also contained Her Majesty's Stationary Office (HMSO) which was previously a part of the Cabinet Office. The name stayed The National Archives. The merger's aim was to create a stronger National Archives which can lead Information Management, ensuring that government information is managed effectively - both to support today's government effectiveness and to guarantee the long term role of the archive.
The National Archives are based in Kew in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames in South West London. The building was opened as 1977 as an additional home for the public records, which were held in a building on Chancery Lane. The site was originally a World War I hospital, which was later used by several government departments.[2] It is near to Kew Gardens Underground Station.
Formerly The National Archives ran the Family Records Centre in Islington on a joint basis with the General Register Office, this site closed in March 2008. There are also offices in central London (currently Admiralty Arch) and Norwich, both of which are primarily for former OPSI staff. There is also an additional record storage facility (DeepStore) in a former salt mine in Cheshire.
Key Roles
The National Archives describes its vision as:
Lead and transform information management
Guarantee the survival of today's information for tomorrow
Bring history to life for everyone[3]
TNA claims it is "at the heart of information policy - setting standards and supporting innovation in information and records management across the UK, and providing a practical framework of best practice for opening up and encouraging the re-use of public sector information. This work helps inform today's decisions and ensure that they become tomorrow's permanent record."[4]
It has a number of key roles in information policy:
Policy—advising government on information practice and policy, on issues from record creation through to its reuse
Selection—selecting which documents to store
Preservation—ensuring the documents remain in as good a condition as possible
Access—providing the public with the opportunity to view the documents
Advice—advising the public and other archives and archivists around the world on how to care for documents
Intellectual property management—TNA (via OPSI and HMSO) manages crown copyright for the UK
Regulation—ensuring that other public sector organizations adhere to both the public records act and the PSI reuse regulations.
Types of Records
The National Archives is the UK government´s official archive, 'containing 900 years of history from Domesday Book to the present', with records from parchment and paper scrolls through to digital files and archived websites.[5] The material held at Kew includes the following:
Documents from the central courts of law from the twelfth century onwards, including the Court of King's Bench, the Court of Common Pleas, the Court of Chancery, the Court of Exchequer, the Supreme Court of Judicature, the Central Criminal Court, Assizes, and many other courts.
Medieval, early modern and modern records of central government.
A large and disparate collection of maps, plans and architectural drawings.
Records for geneaologists, family historians including wills, naturalization certificates and criminal records.
Service and operational records of the armed forces War Office, Admiralty etc.
Foreign Office and Colonial Office correspondence and files.
Cabinet papers and Home Office records.
Statistics of the Board of Trade.
The surviving records of (mainly) the English railway companies, transferred from the British Railways Record Office.
There is also a museum, which displays key documents such as the Domesday Book and has exhibitions on various topics using material from the collections.[6]
The collections held by the National Archives can be search using their on-line catalogue
Entrance to The National Archives is free. Anybody aged 14 or over can access the original documents at the Kew site, after producing two acceptable proofs of identity and being issued a free Reader's Ticket.[7]
The reading room has terminals from which documents can be ordered up from secure storage areas by their reference number. The reference number is composed of three sections: the department code of up to four letters, such as WO for the War Office; a series or class number, for the "subcategory" or collection that the document comes from; and an individual document number. Documents can also be ordered in advance.[8]
Once a document has been ordered, The National Archives aims to get it to the reader within 35 minutes (assuming it is kept at Kew rather than at their second repository, "Deep Store" – a former salt mine in Cheshire).
You do not need a reader's ticket if you are accessing records on microform. Frequently accessed documents such as the Abdication Papers have been put on microfilm, as have records for two million First World War soldiers. The originals of the latter were stored in a warehouse in London along with four million others, but incendiary bombs dropped on the warehouse in the Second World War started a fire in which most were destroyed. The surviving third were largely water or fire-damaged and thus acquired the colloquial name of the "Burnt Documents." Because they were mostly too fragile for public access, they were put on microfilm with the aid of the Heritage Lottery Fund. They are currently being digitized, and should be ready to be accessed online by the end of 2008. A limited number of documents are available on microfiche.
Some of the most popular documents have now been digitized and are available to download, via the DocumentsOnlinedelivery system, for a small fee.[9] All of the open census records have been digitized, and there are also significant other sources online (such as wills proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 1383-1858). Researchers are encouraged to check the online services first, to see if they can get what they want online. If a document is available online, The National Archives' policy is to encourage people to use the digital copy and not the original, even if they come to Kew, in order to protect the original from damage.
The National Archives has also now set up a 'digitization on demand' service (called 'Digital Express') where for a small fee a document can be scanned and sent to the researcher electronically (up to 10 pages for a fixed fee) to enable people to access the documents wherever they are, (excluding particularly large or fragile records).[10]
Moveable shelving in one of the more modern repositories
The documents are stored on compactus - double-sided shelves, which are pushed together so that there's no aisle between them. A large handle on the end of each shelf allows them to be moved along tracks in the floor to create an aisle when needed.
They are generally stored in acid-free folders or boxes.
In the event of a fire The National Archives would be clearly unable to use sprinklers for fear of ruining its holdings, and so when the building is evacuated, argon gas is released into the air-tight repositories.
The National Archives also provides services to help users in their research and also find collections beyond those they hold.
Learning Curve is free online resource for teaching and learning history, aimed at teachers and students. Learning Curve provides background information, downloadable guidebook, selected web links for further studies.
Learning Curve provides students access to archived primary sources, hints for choosing essay topic, conducting researches, and writing essays. Learning Curve is an integral resource combining both informative contents and research skill development aids.
Access to Archives
Access to Archives (also known as A2A) is a database containing details of archival collections held in many different archive repositories in England and Wales.[11] As of March 2008, there are no more plans to add additional collections to A2A due to lack of funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the changing financial priorities of the TNA, though there is still facilities to update existing entries.[12] The A2A database was transferred to the TNA's with a new platform with a simpler interface to ensure its availability.[13]
National Register of Archives
The National Register of Archives (NRA) is the central point for the collection and circulation of information about the content and nature of archival manuscripts relating to British history. It contains unpublished lists and catalogues that describe archival collections in the UK and overseas. The register can be consulted in the National Archives reading room and the index is searchable as on-line database on the National Archives web site.
The information is collected in a variety of ways. TNA is sent hard-copy catalogues from archival repositories that hold records relating to British history. These are kept in the reading room at the National Archives and indexed on the on-line database. TNA conducts an annual survey of archival repositories on the NRA and records all new accessions, and the accession lists are also available on the TNA's web site. Also information is taken from surveys and guides to archival collections as well as other publications.
The NRA index can be searched by the following categories: Corporate name - records relating to businesses and organizations; personal name - records relating to individuals; family name - records relating to particular families and estates; and place names in the UK and overseas.
There is also a National Register of Archives for Scotland which is based in the National Archives of Scotland
ARCHON directory
ARCHON Directory is a database of contact details for archive repositories in the UK and institutions elsewhere in the world which have substantial collections of manuscripts relating to British history.
'Your Archives'
Your Archives is a wiki for the National Archives on-line community which was launched in May 2007.[14] The contributions are made by users to give additional information to that which is available on the other services provided by the National Archive, including the catalogue, research guides, documentonline and National Register of Archive.[15] Your Archives encourages users to create articles not only about historical records held by the National Archives, but those held in other archive repositories.[16]
They also host several databases on types of records including hospital records; migration records; and manorial records[17]

The Ohio ballot Issue 6 to build a casino and resort in southwestern Clinton County fell to defeat Tuesday as nearly 2 out of 3 voters said no. The proposition would have shared gambling revenues between all 88 counties, but only 4 counties voted in favor.
Bob Tenenbaum, spokesman for No On 6 committee, said Tuesday night "The referendum was full of loopholes, and people understood that."
David Zanotti, president of the anti-gambling Ohio Roundtable, said "And it always loses by near the same numbers. Sixty percent of the people in Ohio don't want casino." This is the fourth time voters in Ohio have defeated a gambling initiative.
MyOhioNow could not be reached for comment late Tuesday.
The controversial issue was the ballot language that said the new casino would pay "up to" 30 percent of its gross proceeds. Those two words questioned how much the casino would actually pay. The No On 6 committee said the payment would be zero if an Indian casino opened and paid no taxes.


The James Jeans Twiggy goes a bit vintage with the faded Crush wash. This pair of classic skinny jeans shows a bit of wear and tear for a cool, edgy vibe. James Jeans' Twiggy has a classic slim leg and medium rise jean. The label then added some whiskering at the hips and a few rips here and there for a great lived-in look!
Since 2004 James Jeans has been whipping up the ultimate jean. With a perfect fit and sophisticated style, you can't go wrong! No matter whether you pick up a pair with patterns, dark wash, or light wash, James Jeans will have you feeling unstoppable. Seun Lim, who has a background in couture tailoring, founded the line.

E-cigarettes: misconceptions about their dangers may be preventing people from quitting smoking
General Research
When electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) first emerged, they became a popular way for people to quit smoking. But in 2019, a mysterious lung condition emerged that primarily affected young people, particularly those who vaped. This left many questioning the safety of e-cigarettes.
The condition was named e-cigarettes or vaping use-associated lung injury – or Evali for short. The average (median) age of people affected by the condition was 24 years. Symptoms included respiratory complaints, such as a cough, shortness of breath and chest pain, as well as stomach problems, fever, chills and weight loss.
We now know that Evali is not caused by regulated, commercial nicotine e-cigarettes. Rather, the condition has been linked to products sold as THC-containing e-liquids. Because THC (the active ingredient in cannabis) is expensive, some sellers were cutting their products with vitamin E acetate to make the e-liquid look like it contained more THC than it did. Although vitamin E acetate is an ingredient in some foods and skincare products, it's harmful when inhaled.

Asharq al-Awsat (en arabe : , Le Moyen-Orient) est un important quotidien panarabe créé en 1978 à Londres. Avec un tirage de l'ordre de , il est imprimé simultanément dans 14 villes sur 4 continents.

Histoire
Le quotidien est fondé à Londres en 1978. Il s'agit alors de l'un des premiers quotidiens de la presse arabe fonctionnant sur un modèle offshore. Il est détenu par une entité privée, Saudi Research and Marketing Group, et dirigé par le prince saoudien Faisal bin Salman. Approuvé par la famille royale et le gouvernement saoudien à sa création, le journal est connu pour sa bienveillance envers le gouvernement saoudien, bien qu'il garde une ligne et une tonalité modérée.

À ses débuts, la direction de l'édition est assurée par Jihad al-Khazen, un habitué de la presse anglophone à Beyrouth et précédemment éditeur du Beirut Daily Star, et également à l'origine du lancement à la même période d'Arab News. De par son implantation à Londres, le quotidien a dès son lancement accès à des sources d'information occidentales et n'est pas soumis aux restrictions gouvernementales saoudiennes.

Depuis 1990, Asharq al-Awsat connaît un succès croissant, étant distribué à la fois au Moyen-Orient (Machrek) et au Maghreb, en particulier au Maroc. Présenté comme « le journal international des Arabes », il couvre à la fois l'actualité arabe et internationale.

Asharq al-Awsat fut le premier quotidien arabe à utiliser la transmission satellitaire pour l'impression simultanée dans plusieurs villes dans le monde. En 1998, il est édité à Londres et imprimé à Djeddah, Riyad, Dhahran, Casablanca, Koweit, Caire, Beyrouth, Marseille, Francfort, Londres et New-York. Il s'agit alors du seul quotidien international distribué en Arabie saoudite.

Le journal possède notamment l'exclusivité pour le monde arabe des articles issus du Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, New York Times et Global Viewpoint.

Asharq al-Awsat est présent sur le web depuis , en arabe, en turc et en anglais. En version papier, il se distingue graphiquement par ses Unes imprimées sur fond vert.

Movie Clips on Skype? Sure, Why Not?
Om Malik May 20, 2008 (Jun 5, 2020) -- Blog Post
eBay and by proxy Skype wants to do just more than IM and voice chats. And that is why they're pushing the service, and its clients, into new directions — from telepresence to video to whatever they can think of next. (My inner skeptic says they have to keep that user base growing in order to spin out or sell Skype.)
According to NewTeeVee, Skype today signed a new deal with San Francisco-based Jaman that "will let Skype users insert film clips into their conversations to share with friends. The new service will be available on Skype over the coming months."
The way it's supposed to work is this: There will be a video button added to the bottom of the Skype client, between the green and red call buttons. That will invoke a window where you will be able to share clips and trailers with as many people as you like. By doubling-clicking on the clip you'll be taken to Jaman, where you can rent or buy the film. But while I unequivocally love Jaman — its wide array of foreign films helped me through my recovery process, especially when I couldn't blog — I'm not sure many people would use this new feature.
That said, video on Skype is seriously hot. I was talking to one of their PR people last week and she told me that 28 percent of Skype calls are video calls, proving that video calling is going mainstream much faster than even my best guess. The Skype people, however, think it recently got a big boost because of Oprah.
Oprah has integrated more than 25 Skype video calls on her TV show in the last eight weeks. (Check out how Oprah is using Skype to chat with Jenny McCarthy.) But Skype doesn't have a lock on the video chat market. A startup called ooVoo in New York launched a video chat service last June that's connecting over 2 million video conversations per month. It's now working with laptop maker Quanta to bring HD chat to computers and TVs. Of course, most PCs now come equipped with webcams — indeed, calling and seeing family is one of the most important things we use our computers for now.


With the arrival of warmer weather I have been craving ice cold fruit smoothies (minus the dairy!). This little number has become my favourite so far!
The best bit about this recipe is that by using the cashews you are still able to have a creamy tasting smoothie but it is dairy free with an added bonus of protein. Sometimes I will also add a few spinach or kale leaves but keep in mind if you do this the smoothie will no longer be pink but will still taste amazing!
This recipe makes 1 litre so if you have any leftover you can either pop in the fridge for later or create healthy frozen fruit ice blocks by pouring into molds.
Note: If your blender is not very strong I recommend soaking your cashews for two hours prior to blending.

Q: How to keep line breaks after mysqli_real_escape_string() I'm working on a simple messaging web. The process is simple, I enter the text with line breaks and it will be saved on the database and display it in another div. Everything was fine until I used mysqli_real_escape_string() which removed all the line breaks and display whole text in a single line
$text = $_POST['new_text'];

$vaild_text = mysqli_real_escape_string($con,trim($text));
$vaild_text = strip_tags($vaild_text);

$breaked_text = nl2br($vaild_text);

$command = "INSERT INTO textTable (text_col)VALUES ('$breaked_text')";
$query = mysqli_query($con,$command);

If I remove mysqli_real_escape_string() everything
works very well but for the matter of security I Can't
I even changed the nl2br() position and put it after and before mysqli_real_escape_string()
     but it didn't work!

A: The safest way is to use Prepared Statements:
// Strip the tags and convert the newlines to line breaks
$text = strip_tags($_POST['new_text']);
$breaked_text = nl2br($text);

// Prepare the query
$statement = $con->prepare("INSERT INTO textTable (text_col) VALUES (?);");
$statement->bind_param("s", $breaked_text); // The "s" stands for Strings

// Execute the SQL query
$statement->execute();

Using Prepared Statements has a few benefits:

*

*It prevents SQL injections by escaping the parameters.

*It's faster if you want to execute the query multiple times, because the query is prepared only once.

*No need to concatenate the values into the query. Of course, the sprintf() function could be an alternative for concatenating a string when not using prepared statements. I do recommend prepared statements though.

You can find more benefits and examples about Prepared Statements in this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5662391/3625118
More information about the bind_param() function can be found here.

A: I just found the solution all I need to use id nl2br() for displaying the text
$data = mysqli_fetch_assoc($quert);
$text = $data['text_col'];
$text_break_line = nl2br($text);
echo "<p>'$text_break_line'</p>";


Ford's Performance division has given no indication that it's planning a reboot of the beloved, high-performance SVT Lightning F-150 street truck, much to fans' chagrin. So, as we reported last week, Pioneer Ford of Bremen, Georgia has taken matters into its own hands, crafting a modern take on the classic SVT Lightning that draws its power from a supercharged version of Ford's 5.0-liter Coyote V8 (the pre-2018 version, meaning no direct-injection).
The truck starts out as a 2017 Ford F-150 XL Regular cab with a 61/2-foot bed, receiving a Roush Phase 2 supercharger that pushes peak output up to 650 horsepower. Exhaust gases are expelled via a 3-inch side-exit system, and the truck sits a tad lower than stock thanks to a suspension lowering kit; a full Bilstein system is planned for 2018 models, according to website Hooniverse.
Greg Kachadurian of Hooniverse got the chance to drive one of these custom Ford F-150 Lightning models from Pioneer Ford recently, testing the truck's 0-to-60 sprinting and handling on a slalom before giving in to his baser instincts and torturing the tires with some burnouts. You can read all about what the Hooniverse folks thought of the 650-horsepower F-150 Lightning tribute on their website, and see for yourself how well it hoons in the video above.
For an unofficial continuation of Ford's white-hot performance truck of the early aughts, the Pioneer Ford F-150 Lightning tribute is an impressive and stupid-fun-looking machine.


New Hampton School tapped two familiar names in Husky Nation to lead a men's ice hockey program with a storied tradition. After a national search, Head of School Joe Williams appointed current New Hampton School faculty member and 2011 graduate Connor Gorman as the new head coach. Former New Hampton and legendary St. Lawrence University men's hockey coach Joe Marsh will serve as associate head coach and special advisor to the program.
A teacher and two-sport coach at New Hampton School for the past year, Gorman takes over the head coaching reigns for Casey Kesselring, who coached the team the last six seasons. Marsh, who retired from St. Lawrence in 2012 after more than a quarter century at the helm, most recently coached the Dartmouth Women's Ice Hockey team in 2017-2018, serving as the Interim Head Coach.
Connor Gorman '11 takes the helm as the Men's Varsity Ice Hockey Head Coach for the 2019-2020 season. He will be supported by Associate Head Coach Joe Marsh.
The newly aligned coaching staff of Gorman and Marsh will work together to attract mission-appropriate student-athletes and provide them with an elite educational experience on and off the ice. With the recently opened Jacobson Ice Arena as a wonderful setting, the coaching staff will help members of the program develop for the next level and navigate the college recruiting process.
A two-year student at New Hampton School before moving on to junior hockey with New Hampshire Monarchs, Gorman enjoyed a four-year career at Division III powerhouse SUNY Plattsburgh. He scored 68 points in 104 games for Plattsburgh before playing two years of professional hockey with the Peoria Riverman of the Southern Professional Hockey League where he tallied 90 points in 115 games as a pro.
Gorman joined the faculty at New Hampton School in August 2018 and impressed the community early as an instructor in the Academic Support Program, an advisor, house parent and head coach of the Varsity B hockey team. He also supported the Varsity A team in practices and outreach with prospective families. Gorman was the most valuable player of the 2011 New Hampton School hockey team and played varsity lacrosse at New Hampton and Plattsburgh. A native of Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, Gorman attended St. John's Prep before becoming one of New Hampton School's most prolific scorers, racking up 96 points in 71 games. Gorman had 37 goals and 29 assists for the Huskies in 2011.
A native of Lynn, Massachusetts, Marsh began his coaching career at New Hampton School in 1976 as Coach Mike McShane's assistant hockey coach and a math teacher. When McShane left in 1978, Marsh was the clear leader to follow in his footsteps and advance the Men's Hockey Program. Over time he compiled a 56-5 record. He then went on to achieve a 13-5-1 record and the league title at Choate Rosemary Hall in Connecticut. A 1976 graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Joe joined the St. Lawrence staff as an assistant coach in 1983, again following McShane's leadership. Marsh took over as head coach at the start of the 1985-86 season.
While at St. Lawrence, Marsh compiled a record of 468-399-72 in 26 seasons, the most career victories of any active ECAC coach at the time of his retirement, and he became the third coach in NCAA Division I history to accrue more than 400 wins at one institution. He won the Spencer Penrose Award as NCAA Division I Coach of the Year twice, and he was a four-time ECAC Coach of the Year. He won five ECAC championships, took teams to eight NCAA tournaments and made two Frozen Four appearances. He had a streak of 22 straight ECAC tournament appearances with five ECAC Championships. He coached 18 All-America players, seven Hobey Baker finalists, six ECAC Player of the Year Award winners, four ECAC Rookies of the Year, five ECAC Outstanding Defensive Forward award winners and five ECAC Outstanding Defensive Defenseman award winners.
Marsh retired in May of 2012 following a 26-year career which included some of the brightest moments in program history.

Men's Carolina Panthers Christian McCaffrey Nike Blue Game Jersey
By admin | January 29, 2018
Because of injuries and a roster that already was set at most positions before the draft, the Carolina Panthers won't see the full value of their 2017 class until further down the road.
Outside of first-round draft pick Christian McCaffrey, who had a solid and sometimes spectacular first season, it's almost unfair to judge this class at all.
Second-round pick Curtis Samuel, a wide receiver out of Ohio State, and fifth-round pick Corn Elder, a cornerback out of Miami, finished the season on injured reserve. Elder never played a snap.
The second-best member of this class in terms of production didn't even finish the season on the Carolina roster. That would be seventh-round pick Harrison Butker, who had an outstanding first year as a kicker at Kansas City after being signed from Carolina's practice squad.
Best rookie: Easy. McCaffrey. He led the team in receptions with 80 catches for 651 yards and five touchdowns. He was third on the team in rushing — second among running backs — with 435 yards and two touchdowns. He was asked to do more than most coaches would consider putting on a rookie because of his maturity level and football smarts entering the league. If you were grading this class solely on him, it would be a B-plus, perhaps even an A. But he was the only rookie to play a big role.
Most improved rookie: Sixth-round pick Alex Armah, a fullback/H-back out of West Georgia. He was considered a project coming into training camp and a year or two away from helping. He played in nine games and showed promise as a future replacement for Pro Bowl fullback Mike Tolbert, who signed with Buffalo in the offseason. He was able to help out as a blocker during an eight-game stretch when Pro Bowl tight end Greg Olsen was out with a broken foot. He's a bruiser who could be valuable, particularly around the goal line, moving forward.
Most disappointing rookie: Second-round pick Samuel. It's not because of his production but rather the injuries that kept him from being a factor. He missed much of the offseason and preseason with a hamstring injury. Just when it appeared he was going to make an impact for the offense with his speed and position flexibility, he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in mid-November against Miami. The Panthers have big plans for him in the future, but this year was a major disappointment.
Jury is still out on … second-round pick Taylor Moton, an offensive tackle out of Western Michigan: He was supposed to push Daryl Williams for the right tackle spot, but Williams played so well that Moton never got a chance. He's still a big, physical force (6-foot-5, 325 pounds) the Panthers believe will develop into a starter down the road.
Undrafted rookie evaluation: You'd have to say below average here. Of the five players signed, only Florida defensive end Bryan Cox made a contribution. Cox showed enough to play in seven games, mostly as a fill-in when there were injuries in the four-man rotation at end. But he showed flashes of the talent that his father, Bryan Cox, had during a long career in which he was named to three Pro Bowls.

Glenwood Canyon is 12 1/2-mile-long scenic wonder, with the Colorado River running through the bottom and canyon walls of granite and limestone that rise up to 1,300 feet above the river. It is the largest canyon on the upper Colorado.
The canyon stretches from Glenwood Springs, where the Colorado meets the Roaring Fork River, east to Dotsero, where the Colorado meets the Eagle River. In 1906, the canyon was chosen for the gravel Taylor State Road, which was the first route to take cars through the Colorado Rockies.
Today, the canyon is traversed by Interstate 70 and the California Zephyr passenger train.
This stretch of I-70 was not completed until 1992, after 12 years of construction and decades of battles between roadbuilders and environmentalists. The canyon route includes No Name Tunnel, Hanging Lake Tunnel, Reverse Curve Tunnel, 40 bridges and miles of retaining walls. Eastbound lanes are cantilevered over the Colorado River, and westbound lanes are suspended on a viaduct.
To add complication, the original Denver & Rio Grande Western rail line was also crowded into the delicate natural area, and the highway had to be built without disturbing the historic train route. Trains have traveled through the canyon since 1887 and continue today to provide inspiring views from the windows of the viewing car of the California Zephyr.
In 1968, the Legislature passed a resolution directing the Colorado Department of Highways to make I-70 a "tasteful blend between 'the wonders of human engineering' and the 'wonders of nature'" The resulting plan used three tunnels and 39 bridges to wind the highway through the canyon and "balanced cantilever construction" that involves the use of a crane to drop in precast sections of a bridge from above, once a pier is built from the ground, and had never previously been used in the United States.
A federal judge in 1984 rejected a lawsuit by the Sierra Club and Colorado Open Space Council seeking to block the project but required construction crews to disturb as little of the canyon as possible. The project proceeded with extraordinary care.
While the four-lane highway was under construction, frustrated travelers had to share one lane, trading between west and east every half hour. When it was finished, at a cost of $490 million ($800 million today), the project had totaled 40 times the average predicted cost per mile of the interstate highway system. But, the Glenwood Canyon section won 30 awards for its beauty, functionality and inventiveness.
The I-70 project added a bicycle trail through the canyon and retained access to Hanging Lake and key rock climbing and ice climbing routes. The highway was routed across the Colorado River and into tunnels at Hanging Lake so that it is concealed from hikers.

The boys and girls, at Jim's, really like this super premium cider from the Colonial brewing company.Using only Victorian apples, which are hand-picked and cold-pressed to create a crisp, delicious cider that's small on sugar but big on taste. Using only the same kind apples you eat at home, like Red Galas and Sundowners. True apple cider shouldn't taste like apple cordial with booze and bubbles. A great cider in a great packaging option, the 375ml can.

No, the preference is up to you. Also, draping is a requirement in the State of Pennsylvania. However for Thai Massage, Indian Head Massage, and CranioSacral Therapy you remain fully dressed.
What do I wear for Indian Head Massage or CranioSacral Therapy?
Something that is comfortable for you.
Can I workout after a massage?
It is best to rest after a massage. A massage is like a passive form of exercise and your muscles need time to rest.
Massage therapy encourages metabolic waste removal from muscles and the water helps to flush it out. It also helps prevent soreness post massage. Also, it is best to avoid caffeine and alcohol after a massage as they dehydrate the tissues.
Why am I so tired after a massage?
A massage relaxes the nervous system to go into parasympathetic mode (rest and digest). So many are in constant sympathetic mode (flight-fight-freeze) and our minds and bodies become used to that state which causes inflammation and tension in the body. Massage reduces the stress and tension both mentally and physically and helps stop the production of cortisol (stress hormone) and increases Oxycontin, a hormone that relaxes you.
No, and it shouldn't be. There can be a level of "good pain" which means the technique is working on a particular tense area but it is releasing the tension not creating more. However, everyone's tolerance is different. Always communicate with me about comfort level of pressure. Some believe the deeper or harder pressure you go the better the results. This is false. Deep pressure often causes muscles to tense more.
Is "deep pressure" the same as "deep tissue"?
No. Deep pressure is the force a LMT uses on the tissues. Deep tissue is about the depth the LMT is getting into the tissues, so some modalities that are lighter in pressure are considered deep tissue modalities like Myofascial Release Therapy. Most of the modalities I practice don't use deep pressure.

Being a calibrated Christian . . . in politically warped society.
I've been a pretty avid follower of politics since before I was old enough to vote. Every election cycle draws my interest and I usually have an intense personal struggle battling the urge to get too emotionally ratcheted. I must admit that the election this past year has caused me more turmoil than any previous one. Fortunately, I've discovered that I'm not the only disciple of Christ that has wrestled through political disappointment. In fact, after His resurrection, it was one of the first problems that the Lord Jesus helped a couple of his disciples navigate.
I'm a lot like the disciples on the road to Emmaus, and I'm sure many believers are. If you aren't familiar with the story, it is found in Luke 24:13-35. The time is shortly after the crucifixion of Christ.
We find these two men on the road to Emmaus probably asking themselves the question "what now?" The Jews were eagerly anticipating deliverance from the control of the Romans. I draw some similarities to our culture: the Romans had no morals and they had little regard for life; they taxed heavily and corruptly; their thinking was philosophical, not Biblical; they thought they could produce world peace; they were materialists. These things were nearly all at opposition with the Jewish Religion. The Greek wording in verse 21 makes it clear that these two men were "hoping for liberation from an oppressive situation." They were thinking that Jesus was a poltical deliverer. Sadly, that is not much different than the way many Christians think of some candidates during an election cycle.
So, what happens when we, likewise, are left or put under the control of those whose morals are ambiguous, who have little regard for life, who are materialistic, hedonistic and have confused good and evil?
The desire of these two disciples was not wrong – just like it is not wrong for us to love our country and want to see it delivered from these same things. Every Jew then and probably now, was very nationalistic – that is one of the reasons that many people are so anti-semitic; no matter where a Jew lives, his primary loyalty is always to Israel. The Jews believe that they will be delivered from oppression and restored to absolute world sovereignty under the King Who is of the seed of David. These two men on the road to Emmaus where simply on the wrong time chart and therefore had the wrong priorities.
Twenty-First Century believers are not much different than those disciples. We want to be delivered from heavy taxation that is used to fund philosophies and principles that we find repulsive; we want our nation free from those things which we find to be morally objectionable – based on our Biblical beliefs. We want to be delivered from the ubiquitous but impossible assertion that every man can do that which is right in his own eyes and yet everyone else must tolerate what everyone else is doing (how will that ever work?). Our frustration and disappointments can rise almost to the level of these two men on the road to Emmaus – perhaps even more intense . . .
Jesus walked these two disciples down a path on which any Christian can go; He was unwilling for them to continue with this misdirected hope. Believe me, this is one of the most liberating lessons that I've learned from the Lord!
24:17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? 24:18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? 24:19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people: 24:20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him. 24:21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. 24:22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre; 24:23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive. 24:24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.
My Comments: These two disciples were upset that their Jewish leaders had rejected Jesus, and delivered Him to the Romans to be killed. They were hoping that Jesus would be their political deliverer. Instead – He was killed. Now, they were hearing that He is alive? What should they think and what should they do now? In this conversation, Jesus brought to the surface the emotional disappointment that these two men were harboring.
My Comments: Jesus announced that there was an answer to their concerns, they just hadn't put "two and two together." The answer was in the Scripture! God had revealed His plan, but they were focused on what was happening with their nation politically. Sounds familiar . . .
24:26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 24:27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
My Comments: These verses thrill me! Rhetorically speaking, this was God's design! Jesus used the Scriptures to prove that He was supposed to die (and much more of course). Why were they so surprised when He suffered? As a side note, should we be surprised when the world is in the condition that it is? Doesn't the Scripture tell us that things will get worse? (Jude 1:18; 2nd Timothy 3:1-4:5) Why are we so surprised when things are actually just like Paul and Jude told us they would be? Could it be that we are "fools and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken" . . . ?
I wonder how things would be different for us if we spent more time talking about Scripture and its relativity to life than politics and how its ruining our way of life.
24:28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 24:29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 24:30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 24:31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
My Comments: His words created in them a desire to spend more time with Him. When they thought He was going to go on further, they begged Him to stay! When our hearts are recalibrated, we will be more interested in the Words of Jesus than of Limbaugh, O'Reilly, and Hannity – or Matthews, Maher, and Maddow, for that matter.
24:32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 24:33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
My Comments: the testimony of these two men as recorded by Luke describes a devoted heart, "did not our heart burn within us . . . while He talked with us . . . while He opened unto us the Scripture!" When I imagine myself walking on the road to Emmaus with these disciples, the work that the Lord did for them is transferred into my own heart and mind. I need it – pretty often actually!
Jesus took these men who were politically disappointed and confused and turned their minds and hearts to the proper focus – Him!
It is unfortunate that many Christians have equated patriotism and political activism with religion. There is obviously an overlap because your curicculum vitae affects your entire being, but politics is a secondary focus. When secondary becomes primary, then what happens to the original primary?
I contend that we are waging a secondary war with political activism. We won't win the abortion battle at the polls (or any other battle for that matter). Spiritual regeneration must precede societal reformation.

This is a pretty comprehensive list!
While I agree Garageband is a bit limited out of the box, I love it's flexibility and potential for personalization.
The Official Symphony Orchestra Jam Pack has some pretty good sounding Software Instruments too.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together and share. Great job!
very great job ! thanks a lot for this comprehensive list and the gain.
I notice lots of the sound samples from Hammersound are expansion packs with variety of sounds. is there a way to bake use of all the sounds in the .sf2 files. there are not many that are single ones.
this app gives access to all sounds in a s2f file if it includes more than one. and you can just drag them from the app window to the garageband project to use them. its $12 use and a very useful.
I was about to load the AU version of the DX7 electric piano into GarageBand 10 until Mavericks notified me that it would lower the applications security settings.
Does this work for NI Kontact 5? I've been trying to figure out how to use that in GarageBand 11.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!! Been searching all night for a jam pack that would allow me to download Grand Piano on Stage in GarageBand or anything similar 'cause for some reason the app store won't allow me to, and I don't want to purchase the new version of GarageBand just yet. I just need a decent almost Grand Piano sound. I'm so glad I found your blog! Thanks again!


Frequent contact with newcomers and with each other is the bright spot of our lives.
A man came to the meeting drunk, interrupted the speakers, stood up and took his shirt off, staggered loudly back and forth for coffee, demanded to talk, and eventually called the group's secretary an unquotable name and walked out. I was glad he was there–once again I saw what I still could be. I don't have to be drunk to want to be the exception and the center of attention. I have often felt abused and responded abusively when I was simply being treated as a garden variety human being. The more the man tried to insist he was different, the more I realized that he and I were exactly alike.


I was nominated to publish pictures to Facebook that make me feel happy to be a father. I am going to tag some men I think are awesome fathers. If you are one of these dads, copy the text, paste it to your wall with pictures and tag more fathers.
I would not normally do one of these tagging posts, but all I tagged were chosen for good reason. And, there is much to be said for going through pictures of your kids.
Also, I deleted the BS part of the post that seemed completely out of context.

Antoine Griezmann decision will not affect Manchester United transfer plans
Man Utd were not interested in signing Antoine Griezmann this summer so his decision to stay at Atletico Madrid won't affect them.
Ciaran Kelly
Antoine Griezmann has committed his future to Atletico Madrid - ending a summer of speculation that will not affect United's transfer plans.
The 27-year-old made the announcement in La Decision, a 45-minute long documentary on Spanish television channel Movistar+, on Thursday night after being heavily linked with a move to Barcelona.
For a second consecutive summer, Griezmann had been tipped to leave the Wanda Metropolitano but, yet again, he has decided to stay put.
Indeed, the documentary revealed the France superstar made the decision on June 3 - which saw Griezmann receive a barrage of abuse on social media for teasing the decision.
"They are doing everything possible to make sure the team keeps growing. It's incredible. I can't take it anymore, I need to tell the people that I want to stay," he revealed at the end of La Decision.
Manchester United transfer news LIVE Man Utd Aleksandr Golovin latest and fixtures updates
United prioritised a move for a No.9 last summer following Zlatan Ibrahimovic's serious knee injury after being linked with a move for Griezmann.
That development came ahead of Griezmann's decision to stay with the La Liga giants after they were handed a transfer plan - which prevented them from registering players until January.
United have signed two forwards since then - Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez - and Jose Mourinho has repeatedly ruled out bringing in another this summer. In public, at least.

The Missing By Andrew O'Hagan
Clears a devastating path from the bygone Glasgow of the 1970s to the grim secrets of Gloucester in the mid 1990s.
The Missing Summary
One of the most original, moving and beautifully written non-fiction works of recent years, The Missing marked the acclaimed debut of one of Britain's most astute and important writers. In a brilliant merging of reportage, social history and memoir, Andrew O'Hagan clears a devastating path from the bygone Glasgow of the 1970s to the grim secrets of Gloucester in the mid 1990s. 'A triumph in words.' Independent on Sunday 'The Missing, part autobiography, part old-fashioned pavement-pounding, marks the most auspicious debut by a British writer for some time.' Gordon Burn, Independent 'A timely corrective to the idea that nothing profound can be said about now.' Will Self, Observer Books of the Year 'His vision of modern Britain has the quality of a poetic myth, with himself as Bunyan's questing Christian and the missing as Dantesque souls in limbo.' Blake Morrison, Guardian
About Andrew O'Hagan

The cryptocurrency market sprang back to life with bitcoin's surge to 4.5-month highs yesterday. But why?
The leading cryptocurrency by market value jumped nearly $1,000 to $5,080 in a sixty-minute window early on Tuesday, confirming a transition from a bear market to a bull market.
While the bullish breakout is a welcome development following a year-long bear market, many traders are still unsure of what suddenly drove prices higher.
However, a big move was overdue, as bitcoin's average daily trading range had slipped to two-year lows in March. An extended period of low volatility often ends up with a violent move on either side.
Bitcoin is set to undergo a mining reward halving in August 2020 and historical data indicates the process tends to put a bid under the cryptocurrency at least a year in advance.
Markets first took note of this possibility in December 2018 after the sell-off ran out of steam near $3,100. The particular price pattern was reminiscent of how the previous bear market had ended at lows near $150 in early January 2015 – 17 months before a reward halving in August 2016.
Several longer duration indicators, like the weekly money flow index and the moving average convergence divergence (MACD), had signaled a bearish-to-bullish trend change in February.
Further, lagging indicators like the bearish crossovers of the long-term moving averages (MA) were flashing seller exhaustion.
These technical developments likely reinforced expectations of stronger rally ahead of the incoming halving.
Reuters reported yesterday that a single algorithmically managed order worth $100 million spread across several major exchanges – Coinbase and Kraken and Bitstamp – triggered the sudden rally to multi-month highs.
Meanwhile, Bitfinex data indicates that the unwinding of bearish bets created upward pressure on prices. BTC/USD short positions plunged from 20,654 BTC to 17,103 BTC between 04:00 and 06:00 UTC yesterday; later declining further to 16,978 BTC – the lowest level since March 2018.
BTC revisited yesterday's high of $4,080 earlier today. The bullish move, however, was accompanied by a lower high on the relative strength index (RSI).
Both the triangle breakout and the bullish higher high above $4,236 indicate the tide has turned in favor of the bulls. Validating that argument are the ascending 5- and 10-week moving averages.

Een onderprefectuur is een bestuurlijke eenheid in Frankrijk, Ivoorkust, en delen van Brazilië. In Japan is het een secretariaat van een prefectuur.

Frankrijk
In 'Frankrijk is een onderprefectuur (sous-préfecture) de naam voor de hoofdplaats van een arrondissement die zelf geen prefectuur is. Diensten van de onderprefect (sous-préfet) en het gebouw waar ze gevestigd zijn, worden eveneens onderprefectuur genoemd.

De onderprefect is een ambtenaar die aan het hoofd staat van een arrondissement, waar geen prefectuur is. Hij is de gedelegeerde van de prefect, die in het departement het centraal gezag vertegenwoordigt. In een arrondissement met een prefectuur wordt de taak van onderprefect uitgeoefend door de secretaris-generaal van de prefectuur; de plaatsvervanger van de prefect.

Het systeem van prefecturen en onderprefecturen is in 1800 door eerste consul Napoleon Bonaparte ingevoerd. In 1926 werden per decreet 106 onderprefecturen opgeheven en 2 nieuwe gecreëerd. In de huidige tijd zijn er vragen naar het nut en het voortbestaan van deze instelling.

Brazilië
In Brazilië zijn grote steden als São Paulo en Rio de Janeiro ingedeeld in onderprefecturen (subprefeituras). Dat komt omdat "prefect"
(prefeito) er de naam is voor een burgemeester.

Ivoorkust
De 108 departementen van Ivoorkust zijn onderverdeeld in 509 sous-préfectures.

Japan

Sommige Japanse prefecturen worden onderverdeeld in meerdere shichō (支庁), wat vertaald kan worden als "subprefectuur" of "onderprefectuur". Doorgaans bestaat een subprefectuur uit enkele tot meerdere steden, gemeenten en dorpen. Subprefecturen werden voornamelijk opgericht in geografisch afgelegen gebieden, om betere prefecturale diensten te verlenen aan de burger. De subprefectuur wordt niet vermeld in het Japanse adressysteem. Aangezien de subprefecturen slechts secretariaten zijn van de prefecturen, is hun werking bij het algemene publiek eerder onbekend. Alleen op Hokkaido en in de prefectuur Tokio zijn ze omwille van historische redenen beter bekend. Alle prefecturen hebben het recht om subprefecturen op te richten.

RTI is a multi-tiered approach to the early identification and support of students learning and behavioral needs. The teachers are working closely with PSA Office staff, Shawna Boomgaard and Adam LeRoy, on developing effective strategies that blend knowledge acquisition with hands-on application to ensure the success for their students. Adam and Shawna also support the teachers by assisting them with tools to design, implement, and evaluate RTI methods in their schools.
This work is structured as a combination of group workshops and onsite coaching. Teachers will receive State Continuing Education Clock Hours (SCHECH) for their participation in the RTI Cohort.
My experience with Adam and Shawna has been invaluable! With their guidance, we have been able to refine our RTI process, and are well on our way toward implementing learning cycles into our ELA program. Adam and Shawna create an environment conducive to collaboration amongst the participating teachers, and make each of us feel valued when sharing our ideas. Kristen Wild, Teacher Dove Academy.
Working with Adam and Shawna has enabled us to streamline our RTI process and provides us the opportunity to collaborate to implement learning cycles in our building. Lisa McIntrye, Dove Academy.


I was alone in Adler Hall working on my second editing project earlier tonight, when suddenly there was a loud boom and all the lights (and computers) went out. I found my way out thanks to the security lights, and discovered that a transformer on the river had exploded and taken power away from half of downtown Savannah.
Today was a remarkably long day, but I didn't take pictures of any of it. I think I need a smaller camera.
So, this: I took this a few summers ago in Gifu, Japan.
…the self-portrait I helped my friend Adam out with last weekend.
