In groundhopper parlance a "Vulture Job" is heading to a ground that is possibly not going to be there for much longer. Normally it's because the club is moving to a new ground, and you could argue that this is the case with North Ferriby. However it isn't certain that North Ferriby are on the move, and if they do move it will certainly be without the agreement of their supporters.
The key to all of this is at the end of the Humber Bridge, easily visible from one end of Grange Lane. You're about 8 miles west of Hull here, although the well-to-do village seems out-of-step with the big city in its midst.
The football club play at Grange Lane, accessible only down the lane, on what must be one of the smallest ground footprints ever to stage 5th tier (National League Premier) football. Therein lays their problems.
As characterful as the ground is, it does seem barely credible that football one promotion from the Football League was played here, albeit for one season- 2016/17. The stand on the railway side of the ground covered the ground grading issues but the ground still looks like a graduate of the Northern Counties East League, a league the club won in 2000. This is the club that rehabilitated Dean Windass' career after Brian Horton released him at the end of his YTS contract at Hull City in 1990. Famously new Tigers' manager Terry Dolan saw Windass playing for North Ferriby and brought the Hull Legend back to Boothferry Park a year later. These days Dean's son Jordan plays for North Ferriby, football does have a habit of going full circle.
On a purely business level you can see why owner Jamie Waltham wants to move the club to Dene Park, in Dunswell, to the east of Hull, which he owns. Now those with longer memories will remember that being the where Hall Road Rangers used to play before they moved to Haworth Park. These days NCEL outfit East Yorkshire Carnegie play there. Now if you've clicked the link you'll know I haven't been there for 6 years, but back then it certainly wasn't better appointed than Grange Lane.
Perhaps at this point it's worth commenting that Jamie Waltham was one of the movers behind Hull United whose stint on the Northern Counties East, based at Craven Park home to Hull Kingston Rovers RLFC lasted one chaotic season- 2015/16 when they ended up being docked 18 points.

What really sticks in the craw of the North Ferriby faithful is the change of name. East Hull is not North Ferriby, and however well you make the business case for the move football is about identity and place, not the convenience of the owner happening to own a property elsewhere.
An application to move and change the name has been registered with both the Northern Premier League and the FA. The former has been rejected, the FA have yet to respond. Hopefully they'll read the file marked "Relocation of Wimbledon" before making a decision.
As ever, the uncertainty is the killer, and attendances and performances have suffered. This game saw Ferriby rock bottom of the table with just 10 points from 25 games, up against visitors Marine who were themselves in relegation trouble with 22 points from 24 games.
I must say I did enjoy Marine's company, with Susan Nugent, chairman of their supporters club very much to the fore. Sometimes half the fun of long-distance football journeys is comparing notes from the road, and Crosby to North Ferriby is a beast of a journey! It put me in a slight quandary as to who to nominally cheer for, Marine are a fine club and all the very best to them, but North Ferriby have suffered enough even down to a broken floodlight in one corner which made photography in the last few minutes interesting!
Inevitably the game went the way of visitors, there wasn't much in it, but when your bottom of the table, everything conspires against you. Still at least Susan and the Marine fans headed back to Merseyside happy.
I suspect in the end North Ferriby will end up staying put, I'd like to think the FA will take the lead of the Northern Premier League because when all that's said and done, North Ferriby will eventually eventually find their level where they are and as they are, however painful that process may be.

Allactaga hotsoni este o specie de rozătoare din familia Dipodidae. Este găsită în Afganistan, Iran și Pakistan.

Taxonomie
Allactaga hotsoni a fost descrisă pentru prima oară în anul 1920 de zoologul britanic Oldfield Thomas ca Allactaga hotsoni. Acesta a numit-o în onoarea naturalistului și ofițerului de aramtă John Ernest Buttery Hotson, care a colectat specimene de plante și mamifere în Baluchistan în perioada 1915-1920. De la el Oldfield Thomas a primit spre examinare mai multe mamifere mici; o altă specie de mamifere, Calomyscus hotsoni, a fost de asemenea numită după colectorul său.

Răspândire și habitat
Allactaga hotsoni este găsită în Afganistan, Iran și Pakistan. S-a întâmplat ca în Afganistan și Pakistan să fi fost găsită la altitudini de între 200–1.500 de metri deasupra nivelului mării. Habitatul său include deșerturi, câmpii și zone de stepă montană cu vegetație rară.

Ecologie
Allactaga hotsoni este o specie de rozătoare nocturne și solitare care sapă tuneluri lungi. Tunelurile sunt de trei tipuri; vizuini scurte și temporare cu câteva intrări, câteva tuneluri și o singură cameră de adăpost; vizuini de reproducere cu tuneluri mai numeroase și mai lungi, mai multe intrări și cu o cameră de adăpost situată la cel puțin ~30 de centimetri sub nivelul solului; vizuini de iarnă cu un singur tunel lung, în general orizontal, dar cu o singură cameră la adâncime mică, în care animalul hibernează. Această specie se hrănește cu semințe și cu plante de deșert precum Artemisia aucheri, Anabasis aphylla și Peganum harmala; stochează bucăți de tulpini și frunze în camere de depozitare din interiorul vizuinei. S-a descoperit că această specie este mai activă în timpul nopții când Luna nu strălucește și la începutul și la sfârșitul ciclului lunar. Aceasta este probabil o adaptare împotriva prădătorilor legată de mersul său biped și de vegetația sărăcăcioasă din zonele în care locuiește.

Stare de conservare
Allactaga hotsoni are un areal larg și se presupune că are o populație mare, dar este rareori înregistrată. Nu se știe dacă populația sa este în creștere sau în scădere, dar este puțin probabil ca aceasta să scadă într-un ritm suficient de rapid pentru a justifica includerea speciei într-o categorie amenințată. Habitatul său cunoscut nu coincide cu terenuri potrivite pentru agricultură, iar Uniunea Internațională pentru Conservarea Naturii a clasificat-o ca fiind o specie neamenințată cu dispariția.

Q: SQL schema vs NoSQL namespace I am pretty new to NoSQL and would like to fully understand the concept of namespace and how it compares to SQL schema.
I have seen plenty of useful analogies between tables, row, ... and their NoSQL counterparts.
Could you please help me understand the namespaces ?
In particular, I would like to know how I could leverage them to segregate the data of my dozen of customers ? I want to prevent accidental information leak between two of then, while still using a single database.

A: It really depends of the database engine you are using, it is hard to give a generic answer.
Ideally, if you really want to segregate the data, you can use multiple databases (in Redis, Redis Enterprise, MongoDB). In this case you are sure that data are separated. But you say you want to use a single DB. (why?)
If you want to stick with a single database you have various options, once again depending of the database engine you are using.
If you are using Redis:

*

*you can use specific namespace based on key pattern, for example app:cust-001:orders, and you control the access to the data based on the key name/pattern. In Redis 6.0, the notion of ACL (Access Control List) has been added allowing you to limit the operations/access to the data based on a key pattern, for the connected user. This will allow you to have a good control of the data and who can see/manipulate them

If you are using MongoDB:

*

*you can use multiple collections (tables), for example, prefixing the collection name with a context.

*or you can use a composite key, where one of the fields will be your context

In both cases, for Redis and MongoDB, you are kind of creating using business logic the concept of "database".
If you provide more details/examples, the community can probably give you a more detailed answer.

UCR is a wonderful place to obtain your undergraduate business degree. I am a recent grad that was selected for a wonderful job while competing against students from USC, UCLA, UCSB, and many other surrounding colleges. I feel I received and edge because I used all the resources that were available to me at UCR. There are many students however, that will seat around and complain because they want everything handed to them. If you are a hard worker and willing to learn UCR will help you accomplish anything you want.
Most of the faculty is wonderful and respectful of students although the customer service around campus needs a major "makeover," the secretaries in the financial aid office and at the business school are very rude and inconsiderate. The TA's on campus are either good or bad it seems you never get one in the middle. I had wonderful TA's that helped me more than any of my professors. I also had TA's that would never show up for discussion, not keep accurate grade books, speak very poor English or speak about politics the whole entire section.
The student body is pretty diverse although mostly made up of Asians. Everyone seems to get along pretty well but not really open to conversation. If you do not belong to some sort of club on campus you're going to have to go out of your way to meet people because most of the people won't say hi.
The campus surroundings are not bad at all, the school is centrally located to the mountains (Big Bear), the beaches (New Port or Oceanside) and the club seen in LA or Riverside is pretty good. Although most of the times I would just throw house parties and invite everyone over.
My overall take on the campus was a good one, the education I received I use everyday at my job. My roommate and I were hired before we graduated from UCR and both received a signing bonus along with a relocation package. The Alumni network is growing and I proud to be apart of the UCR family. If you are motivated to succeed UCR can help. But if you are going to seat around and complain please don't apply because I would rather you attend somewhere else and write a bad review about another University.


Here's a picture of the original quilt block pattern that I am working with. I love the solid effect of the star, but for my cross-stitched piece, do not like the stipes on the side borders. I've discovered that leaving them out, though, limits my use of fabrics and I think that it's too plain as a result.
Lucy, Alena, and Inga, where are you? What do you think? Any other blogging friends with ideas to share?
here am I .... and just read my name ! I LOVE the block a it is in the book with the strips and all..
Thanks for the advice, Lucy. The block as it appears in the book is very pretty, isn't it. It's very 4th of July to me --- and yes, Amish as well. When I'm done with my table runner (where I'm having to include the cross-stitch) I might just may one or two block as shown in the book. I really appreciate you writing! How I wish I could come to your quilt shop and take a class or two from you!
Now I am looking for the second time I see you use pink instead of red.. It looks red to me at my compter. I love it the way you use it. Keep it plain and simple!!

Inside the origin of Bruce Boudreau's "mountain" conditioning drill to see if returning players are game-ready
Photo credit:Bob Frid-USA TODAY Sports
You'd be hard-pressed to find a critic of the Vancouver Canucks' new head coach, Bruce Boudreau. Since taking over behind the Canucks' bench, the club has gone 8-1-1 and started off with a remarkable seven-game win streak.
Boudreau's positive vibe has been felt all throughout the fanbase, as it became quickly apparent that Canucks players were happy to be at the rink once again.
But that's not to say there haven't been challenges for the Canucks' bench boss, either.
This is Boudreau's first time coaching in the NHL in the everchanging COVID-19 impacted world.
He's had players plucked from his roster and sent into isolation, positive test results in the middle of games, and more.
Most recently, he lost Brock Boeser and Elias Pettersson — two key pieces to the Canucks' lineup — to positive tests, meaning they couldn't be a part of Boudreau's "mini-camp" ahead of the club's current southeastern road trip.
Both players returned Tuesday night in the Canucks' 5-2 loss at the hands of the league-leading Florida Panthers, but not before they — along with Jason Dickinson, who also returned from COVID protocol — passed a conditioning test that Boudreau calls the "mountain" drill.
The drill was shared with fans in this mic'd up video of Boudreau at Monday's practice in Florida that the Canucks shared on Twitter.
"It's called a mountain" Boudreau says to Boeser, Pettersson, and Dickinson in the video. "It's blue line, back, red line, back, far blue line, back, far goal line and back in 45 seconds."
As the players complete the exhausting drill, Bodureau is offering words of encourgament and motivation the whole time.
"I do this one if you're hurt," Boudreau explains. "You have to be able to do it in 45 seconds — that proves you can play."
"Every player wants to sit there and say 'oh, I'm ready coach, put me in', well a lot of times, they're not really ready. They think they're ready, but they're not really ready."
It's an interesting perspective and a unique way to ensure players are actually game ready, and it's one Boudreau has been using for quite some time now.
"I learned about the skate from Bob Woods, who was my assistant," Boudreau told CanucksArmy. "I'm sure he got it from Bob Hartley."
Hey, there's a name Canucks fans know!
Boudreau and Woods have coached together almost everywhere they've been as coaches.
They coached togehter in the ECHL with the Missisippi Sea Wolves, in the AHL with the Hersey Bears, and at the NHL level with the Washington Capitals, Anaheim Ducks, and most recently, the Minnesota Wild.
Woods, 53, is currently an assistant coach with the Wild, as he stayed on the coaching staff after Boudreau was fired during the 2019-20 season.
The mic'd up video as a whole showcases Boudreau's coaching style quite well, and includes him offering words of encouragement for struggling superstar Elias Pettersson, who was bent over at the hip trying to catch his breath after completing the drill.
"You're ready to go," Boudreau exclaimed. "Did you know, your last practice before you were sick, you were the hardest working guy on the ice? That's really good, that's going to get you places," said Boudreau, before giving him a pat on the back.
Ideally the Canucks won't have any more players land on the injured reserve or in COVID protocols for the rest of the season, but if they do, Boudreau will do all he can to make sure they're actually ready to go before throwing them back into game action.

All of those Appalachian kids like me—geographically outside of the snow belt, and economically on the moon—will never know the exhilaration of a ski slope or the flawless ice of a skating rink.
Unlike Summer Olympic sports like soccer, running, or wrestling, which can be pursued cheaply or at no cost by almost anyone, winter sports are the domain of the privileged—and they're not for me.
I'm as astute a critic as anyone watching the Winter Olympics. I note the poise of the upper body as the wild-legged skiers take the mogul course. I assess the astonishing feats of snowboarders. I appreciate the temerity of the athletes in luge and skeleton and bobsleigh.
But although I watch and marvel, I'll never really warm up to the Winter Olympics. It's about economics. With a few exceptions—such as cross-country skiing, which you can pull off with secondhand equipment and without costly lift fees—these sports are not for lower- or middle-income kids to try. Unlike Summer Olympic sports like soccer, running, or wrestling, which can be pursued cheaply or at no cost by almost anyone, winter sports are the domain of the privileged—and they're not for me.
Ponds didn't really freeze much when I was growing up in the Appalachian part of Ohio, and never to the extent that I would dare walk out onto one.
We had hills, of course—a few of them good for sledding, but most covered in overgrown trees and brambles, so downhill skiing was never an option.
Maybe there was an ice rink within an hour's drive, but there wasn't one in my town. Like anywhere else, some people of means, generally the children of doctors, came back from winter break with ski lift tickets attached to the zippers of their puffy coats.
But I was about 22 when I went skiing for the very first time. I was far from home, in Montana. And it was a disaster. My boyfriend and I were driving around on Thanksgiving Day and fighting, our families far away, and on a whim he suggested we go skiing at a popular ski resort, whose season opened that very day.
I didn't know anything about skiing, but I was always up for an adventure. My boyfriend, who had often skied with his family on vacation, rented my boots, skis, and poles. I felt some sticker shock as he paid for the equipment and the lift pass, but he took it in stride. He told me, "The only way to learn is to go to the top of a mountain and work your way down." I made it onto the terrifying lift, but felt misgivings about how to get off. At the top of the mountain, he jumped, gave me a wave, and shussed away.
I grew up in Gallipolis, Ohio, an economically depressed town on the Ohio River. Industry was already fading when I was a child. The coal-driven power industry was a major non-service employer, but manufacturers—the plant that made boat motors, for instance—disappeared one by one.
While Gallipolis was part of the foothills of the Appalachians, it was not mountainous. Those friends who skied usually drove four hours to Snowshoe, West Virginia, which today posts a weekend and holiday rate of $99. My family was not poor, and we could have taken the occasional skiing holiday, but it would have been impossible to make a habit of it.
Strangely, no one bats an eye when you suggest that golf is off limits to a lot of would-be athletes. It turns out that 150 acres of thirsty, meticulously tended courses cost quite a bit to maintain, and greens fees keep the poorest people outside the gate (and there's always a gate). A handful of incentives to introduce lower-income people to the sport have done little to make it more inclusive.
But friends in cold-weather places have tried to persuade me that I'm mistaken about similar class barriers to winter sports. These Winter Olympic sports are just outdoor fun for your average Mainer or Coloradan or Minnesotan, they tell me.
The thing is, I lived in Montana too, and a day pass to a ski area was expensive anywhere. Only someone whose life is comfortable would suggest otherwise. On the Snow, a website that features lift ticket prices, lists one adult weekday lift ticket for $38 (Maverick Mountain)—significantly cheaper than the next one up. The same ticket is $46 at Discovery, where I went, and a whopping $139 at Big Sky.
Not everyone can even try downhill skiing, just to see if they might have an affinity for it. In terms of necessary equipment, many of us can pick up a basketball right now, or run down the road right now, or kick around a soccer ball right now. Borrow a ball or wear your regular athletic shoes, and the cost is zilch. But some people never have the opportunity to ski. Lift tickets, plus gear and specialized wear, are prohibitively expensive. Appalachia may have mountains, but it is not rife with ski resorts, perhaps because the impoverished local communities can't sustain the cost.
When I was growing up, my town had some of the hardest workers I knew—yet famously, the region is recognized for a high obesity rate; the nearest city of note, Huntington, West Virginia, has been named America's fattest. Although the causes of obesity can vary, a lot of people conveniently ignore that leisure activities require leisure time. It's hard to get to the gym when one must work two jobs to support a family. Ski trips are a luxury, but for the working poor, participating in any sport can feel out of reach. There's little money, little time, and little leftover energy for fun.
Lack of access also has clear ramifications for winter sports themselves. Isn't it safe to presume that we don't get the very best skiers, since most of us—and certainly most of us in Appalachia—have a hard time getting to the slopes on a regular basis? I'm not the first to point out that our best ski-jumper might be whiling away time flexing her powerful calves in a bayou somewhere, and may never encounter a mountain, much less a jumping ramp, a take-off table, and a landing hill.
Some slopes offer free skiing for children, and clearly, if one is to reach Olympic-level dominance, one will have to start young and practice daily. So we might envision that world where we let our 5-year-old out at the door of the ski lodge and promise to pick her up at the same spot in a few hours. Since my own 5-year-old would destroy a mountain if left to his own devices for three or four hours, that's out for me. Realistically, a child skiing is accompanied by a parent doing the same, a parent who has the time and means to do so.
Liftopia points out that the price of skiing can vary widely based on factors like location, day of the week, time of day, and when tickets are purchased. Skiers will tell you that there are matchless days on the slopes where the sky is sunny and the trails have great snow cover, and that's when most people want to be out there.
It strikes me that in reading between the lines, even this ski blogger admits what I'm saying: This is expensive.
It's not just skiing. Skaters may get the fever on a frozen cow pond, but figure skating requires paying for lessons and ice time in a rink for those who are serious. Interested in luge? You'll probably have to leave your state to find a course. The U.S. has only two competition tracks: one in Lake Placid, New York, and one in Park City, Utah, and two natural tracks, both in Michigan (Muskegon and Negaunee).
My topic here is not the cost of becoming an elite athlete: Equipment, coaching, and training are expensive in every sport, once we move past the basic levels. Rather, I'm lamenting all of those Appalachian kids like me—geographically outside of the snow belt, and economically on the moon, for all it matters—who will never know the exhilaration of a ski slope or the flawless ice of a skating rink. Maybe there could have been champions among us.
What's the solution? I'm not sure. Appalachia needs much more than a luge course or a few more ski slopes. My region currently has a food insecurity rate of near 30 percent. Still, I'd love to see some recognition, as we cheer on those Americans who do astonishing things on the slopes, courses, and ice of Pyeongchang, that these elite athletes who are the best of us may not be the best of all of us.

I haven't written a blog for a while due to being busy on the work front (yes, like 88% of aspiring authors, I work a day job that lets me save a bit on the side for producing my running novels) and also because I've been writing in my spare time.
Asked recently why I write my stories after the fact, which I thought was a great question, my answer was for better authenticity.
My upcoming third novel Go Gayle Go is set between 2014 and 2016. I wrote it over the summer of 2015/16 before the Rio Olympics, then made modifications after the Rio Olympics. In my first draft, I had a key rival of Gayle's being Russian, but banished her for someone not from Russia due to the whole situation that unfolded in early 2016 that factually changed what I had. On the other side of the coin, I've done the same with my next novel I'm writing, which also has some of that story set at the Rio Olympics. When I started drafting the story, I didn't mention the Zika virus that swept Brazil in the run-up to the games.
It's why I won't skip on to set my stories in Tokyo, for example, before the 2020 Olympics are actually held. Just like I'm glad I never set a story in the future at the Durban 2022 Commonwealth's, but I can reveal that in a future novel, Kelly and co. will be at the London World Athletics Championships later this year. I'll write that story from my own first-hand accounts from being in attendance. The looming backdrop for that story are the current tragedies this summer that have hit the UK. It's been a bad year. Had I jumped on ahead, those background events would have been missing.
I've definitely been swayed off predictive writing thanks to two of the three other running novels I've read, falling into this trap. Peter Lear's Golden Girl, about a genetically modified American sprinter who wins the 100,200 and 400m treble at the 1980 Moscow Olympics is a terrible example of writing in the future, given America boycotted those games and never went. Subsequently, Golden Girl has aged rather badly, I feel.
As a teen, of course I was going to read Golden Girl!
In the Golden Girl movie, Anton is no Wonder Woman.
acting. Susan Anton, on the other hand as Goldine has a great smile and is obviously very much the all-American girl; she's great in that regard, but as a runner she just doesn't look like one to me, so isn't convincing. It's a heck of thing to pull off, hence why running movies are so hard to do.
The other running story I've read most recently is Over the Line. It isn't anywhere as bad as Golden Girl for predictive storytelling. All the author did there was make mention there were Russian's in Rio.
Incidentally, I recommend Over the Line as a really good running novel to read. In fact, it's really more a crime novel set firmly in the world of track and field. I got a Kindle version and I have to say, while possibly the worst formatted e-book I have, once you ignore that and just read the story, all is forgiven.
Have a read. It's a good story.
Over the Line would make a great BBC/ITV/BSKYB two-part mini-series that the Brits do so well. I'm sure author Steve Howell had that in the back of his mind when writing his novel.
Maybe I ought to think more like him.

The domestic OEMs may have caused some of their problems, but shouldn't the rest of the country care?
Charles Gibson, anchorman for ABC News' "World News Tonight" (http://abcnews.go.com/WNT), asked during a special "town hall" meeting in Detroit on the auto industry: "Do we need an American auto industry and does it need to be in Michigan?" For someone who has spent 20 years as an automotive industry analyst, that question knocked me off my couch. Ironically, the next day an out-of-state reporter asked me, "What is it about the Detroit executives and unions working in the auto industry? Do they not understand what they need to do to be competitive?" These questions are troubling and make it clear that people who are outside the automotive industry and not living in Michigan are really insulated from the troubles we face and don't truly understand the significance the auto industry has on the national economy.
Just prior to the national election in November, 2006, I spent time with a current U.S. congressmen, and he indicated that many of his peers in Washington don't see the troubles in automotive because they come from Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Texas, and other states where the industry is booming with new plants from foreign competitors. Additionally, he indicated many people in Washington see the economy thriving in most states, so there is not a big focus on those select few that are suffering, like Michigan. For people with jobs in the auto industry and children hoping for futures in Michigan, these comments were difficult to swallow. I'm not an economist with a series of statistics to share, but frankly it doesn't take a Nobel Prize to understand how critical the loss of the American auto industry would be to this nation.
It's true there are issues like health care, currency manipulation, tort reform, education, and trade policies that must be addressed by our federal government for domestic companies to compete long term. The playing field must be leveled for companies to succeed. And honestly, we are tired of hearing government officials say we must work on these issues, yet there continues to be no movement. In other countries, the auto industry and government work hand-in-hand to grow business, while the U.S. government has turned its back on domestic auto companies.
The domestic companies continue to struggle with decisions made years ago that have led to over-capacity costs, labor issues, higher product-development costs, lack of commonization of global components, supplier relationship issues, and many others that drive an over $2,400 per vehicle cost differential to the best Japanese competitors. When the trade barriers were lifted by the U.S. government and foreign competition began importing and building vehicles here, the domestic automakers were caught off guard. The arrogance in the industry led to denial and resistance to change. But the new American consumers found these foreign vehicles were often higher quality and they began to modify their preferences. Studies reported that these vehicles were made with the best technology and with fewer resources. Other countries had a culture of efficiency by necessity, so the bar was raised. The domestic automakers reacted, but not quickly enough. OEMs and suppliers cut costs considerably, but there is more to be done. A focus on common vehicle architectures, which enables commonization of components globally, significantly improves competitiveness. Collaboration with suppliers to improve quality and efficiency, along with union partnership, will change the face of the industry. But most importantly is the speed at which companies execute and how much effort they put into changing consumer perceptions. The domestics have great products today and they are doing great things, but many consumers are unaware.
Each OEM and supplier must evaluate their total business and aggressively execute the things they can control. Pointing fingers will never get the industry back on its feet but working together will. And it wouldn't hurt if the government decided to lend a hand to help.

SC refuses to relax order banning crackers sale in NCR this Diwali
Statesman News Service | New Delhi | October 14, 2017 1:08 am
The Supreme Court on Friday refused to relax its 9 October order banning the sale of firecrackers in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR) till 31 October, rejecting the plea of firecracker traders who had sought its permission to sell crackers for at least a day or two before Diwali.
No firecrackers will be sold in Delhi-NCR this Diwali on 19 October as the apex court on
9 October had restored a ban on the sale of crackers in the national capital and its surrounding towns till this month-end.
"We are not going to relax the order as far as sale of firecrackers is concerned," a Bench comprising Justices A K Sikri and Ashok Bhushan said on Friday.
The apex court also expressed anguish that attempts were made to give a "communal colour" to its 9 October ban order.
The Bench said Diwali would not be "cracker-free" in Delhi-NCR anyways as people would burst crackers which they had purchased before the ban order.
During the hearing, senior advocate Prashant Bhushan, appearing for one of the parties, referred to certain statements made by some political leaders after the court's 9 October verdict. "Do not make it political. We are pained to hear that some people tried to give it a communal colour. We are pained. It is sad," the Bench said.
"Sale of firecrackers which has already taken place before the ban order, people will burst it and that will be sufficient. Anyhow, it is not going to be a cracker-free Diwali," the top court said.
The court said its ban order ahead of this Diwali was an experiment to examine its effects on the air pollution levels in the national capital region during the festive season.
Senior advocate Mukul Rohatgi, appearing for firecracker traders, said he did not want to argue the matter but only give a suggestion that sale of crackers should be allowed at least a day or two before Diwali. He also suggested that the court could restrict the timings for bursting firecrackers or its sale.
Rohatgi said that following the apex court's 12 September order ~ which temporarily lifted the stay on this ban to permit sale of firecrackers in the NCR ~ traders had got licences and invested money.
"Diwali is a festival which is being celebrated for long. Delhi is not an exception. The problem of pollution is everywhere. There are number of children and persons who want to celebrate Diwali," he said while seeking relaxation on the ban order.
The apex court however asserted, "This would be against the very spirit of the order".
The Bench also said that firecrackers should be allowed to be burst till 11 p.m. and not beyond that because it also caused noise pollution.
The court also asked Delhi Police to implement its order banning sale of firecrackers.
On 9 October, the court had said its 12 September order will be made effective only from 1 November.
The top court had then said that its 11 November 2016 order suspending the licences for sale of fireworks in the NCR "should be given one chance to test itself" to see if there would be its positive effects on air quality during Diwali.

I don't care if the fence was pulled in and Warren Spahn grooved one, it's still cool that a man in his mid-seventies was able to hit a homer during an all-star game.
Oh yeah, he was great.
Rank of 8 Pos. *OPS+ F% as pct. RFg as pct.
About that homer John mentioned in post #1. . . . He said he got more letters & mail for that than anything else in his life. He put it all in a big box, and slowly worked through it. He'd do a little one day, get tired, and come at it again the next day. But there were so many letters it took forver. As he finally started getting to the bottom of the pile, he noticed some of the newer letters were people saying: "Hey, I wrote you 2 months ago? How come you never responded you ####### piece of ####?" He answered those letters, too. Some people really have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.
Man, I loved that homer, too. But I didn't write to tell him so.
As he finally started getting to the bottom of the pile, he noticed some of the newer letters were people saying: "Hey, I wrote you 2 months ago? How come you never responded you #### piece of ####?" He answered those letters, too. Some people really have an overdeveloped sense of entitlement.
Don't you just love people like that?
John, I don't care how much they pulled in the fence. I think it's cool that Ed Williamson hit the ball over the fence 27 times in one season (when teammates Anson, Gore and Kelly didn't do it 20 times among them).
Re. Appling's homer, I didn't write him either (and now it's too late), but I thought about it and the sumbitch didn't even write me back.
I assume this is a veiled (or not so veiled) "attack" on some of the other voters here, since I never was involved in the Williamson/1884/Homer Runs brouhaha from way back in the election process.
At any rate, I don't see the connection between the two.
John, I don't remember who said what but it wasn't an "attack." I just thought your comment about "pulled in the fence" reminded me of Big Ed's big year and I thought I'd get in a plug.
Too bad we don't get Appling and Wells together. I see them as similar. Appling is the early fave for PHoM in 1956 but I don't have Wells yet. What do people think?
I have Appling slightly above Wells based on his one excellent season. Even if that seaon was a fluke, he still gets credit for it. May Wells have had a season like it that was smoothed out in the MLE process? Possible, but I dont' like to give away 35-40 WS seasons like candy. Otherwise I have them as very similar players who are both deserving. Wells isn't in my PHOM, but is first in line for the backlog, he and Appling may be the choices for 1956.
Marc, in retrospect, I should have used the word "dig" instead of "attack," since that was what I was leading to (that's why I put that word in quotations to soften its impact, BTW). I wasn't implying an belligerence on your part in any way.
They seem like extremely similar players. I had the same thought myself.
I have Appling slightly over Wells, but the difference between them is well within the margin of error for the MLE projections . . .
In my system, Appling is an easy pick for #1 this year.
First team with four 20-HR guys: Ned 27, Fred 25, Abner 22, Cap 21.
That was the only old-timers all star game I ever attended and as luck would have it I got to witness his HR.
I don't remember the year; it seems about 25 years ago.
That's why they didn't let Appling bat against him!
Just wondering what do you think he would do if he played today fouling off 10 to 15 pitches with the modern emphases on the pitch count.
Salary: $266,611,505, just below Bench and Matthews, and above Larkin and Yount. Very close to an inner-circle player, and if you give him DRA-level credit for his defense, he's there. Extremely underrated.
Wow, I was one of his best friends and you still managed to point out that I wasn't giving enough war credit. He jumps up to 5th on my SS list ahead of Dahlen/Davis and behind Ripken/Vaughan.
He has the monster 1943 (which, it turns out, was actually not such a soft league), was probably the best player in the 1940 AL as well, and then just had an incredibly long, productive career--he played at a high All-Star level every year between '35 and '47. Strange, I always remembered him for hitting .388 before this project, but it turns out that was only his third-best season, and virtually indistinguishable from 3-4 others.
- 20th century major league player #27 by career, between Alexander and Bench.
The shortstop blurb is a short one (the blurbs commonly focus on choosing number one).
The selection of the greatest one ever is easier at this position than at any other; after that it is desperate work. I will no doubt be criticized for overrating the good-hitting shortstops and underrating the glove men, but then I have enjoyed that criticism for many years concerning theh rankings in annual Baseball Abstracts, and I don't see why I should give it up now.


Pretty much before 2015 ended, a lot of people would already have clear idea on what choices they have made for their analogue system – planning and documenting. To be honest, I actually had a clear idea back in December.
And then in January, I designed a quarterly insert for my regular size fauxdori when my 2015 passport size insert was used up.
Still, I was nowhere from feeling like it was working for me except for the passport MTN that I do brain dumps in.
Passport size – looks scuffed but I love it a lot! I now have Field Notes inserts as I love the size and paper quality.
Snowblind Edition insert for my brain dumps.
Ambition Edition insert for my weekly agenda.
Another Ambition Edition Memo insert for various notes, budgets, etc.
Regular size – this is one I've been saving for a couple years while I've been using my own handmade fauxdori. Somehow I felt it was really time to break it out now. So, this one is most specifically only for creative outlet.
The #014 Kraft Paper insert is specifically for journaling. I'm using the 2015 prompts from here. Now feeling at peace and have started journaling again.
LOVE LOVE LOVE all your post entry! Your planner got me inspired and makes me feel like having a planner too! keep up all the pretty work. 🙂 Big love from, Brunei Darussalam.

Land Swap Improves Preserve Management
Photo credit: Ben Jones
Groundswell and Dane County swapped land to improve management of two public natural areas on November 28th, 2016.
Dane County donated 14 acres of land on the south side of Patrick Marsh Wildlife Area (map), on the eastern doorstep of Sun Prairie, to Groundswell. The land is adjacent to the 80 acres owned by Groundswell and is part of a 320-acre wildlife area. In exchange, Groundswell donated 40 acres of land north of Waunakee to Dane County. This land, the Wilke Prairie Preserve (map), is adjacent to the County's Waunakee Prairie.
At Patrick Marsh, Groundswell has been working with Patrick Marsh Conservancy, Sun Prairie Rotary, Patrick Marsh Middle School, and other groups to improve trails and restore wildlife habitat. In November, 250 students from Patrick Marsh Middle School planted 18 acres of prairie in a field on the south side of the marsh. This fall the Land Trust officially adopted the DNR land at the marsh and will work on more improvements to wildlife habitat. The Land Trust works with volunteers, a summer intern crew, Operation Fresh Start, and others to make the wildlife area more accessible, educational, and enjoyable for everyone.
The land Dane County is gaining in this swap, the Wilke Prairie Preserve on Six Mile Creek north of Waunakee, was created in 1994 when Hazel Knudson donated 40 acres to Groundswell. According to Land Trust Executive Director Jim Welsh, "Hazel's original goal had been to see her land become part of the county's system of parks and natural resource areas. It's nice to see that 22 years later we could fulfill Hazel's wishes."
According to Dane County Executive Joe Parisi, "The land exchanges with Groundswell are wonderful examples of how Dane County continues to collaborate with our conservation partners to deliver a quality and seamless recreational experience for residents of and visitors to Dane County. These exchanges will increase management efficiencies and reduce operating costs by consolidating land holdings where the County or the Land Trust already owns other conservation and recreational lands. My special thanks to Groundswell for all it does to further the goals of the County's Parks and Open Space Plan."

VMware Welcomes Estranged Sibling Pivotal Back Home
By Dave Bartoletti, John Rymer, Jeffrey Hammond, Chris Gardner and Glenn O'Donnell, Forrester on August 26, 2019
On August 22, 2019, VMware announced that it will acquire sister company Pivotal Software, vendor of a widely used cloud development platform, Pivotal Cloud Foundry. The transaction is a reacquisition of software development assets that VMware spun out into a separate company in 2013 after struggling to integrate them into its primary data center management software business.
For customers, the immediate impact of the acquisition is minimal and positive. They can still turn to Pivotal for its leading cross-cloud development platform and application development and transformation services, and they can still turn to VMware for its leading software-defined infrastructure software and growing cross-cloud migration and management software. Both companies were already members of the Dell Technologies "family" of companies and sought to cooperate in servicing customers. Most recently, both Pivotal and VMware were investing heavily in helping customers transition from legacy development processes to modern, Agile software development and from traditional, virtualized mostly on-premises infrastructure to container-based, cloud-deployed, and Kubernetes-orchestrated infrastructure.
VMware can now streamline that cooperation. It already jointly developed Kubernetes products with Pivotal while it steadily added container support to its own vSphere product line — it hasn't always been clear which company built or sold the emerging container platform products. VMware can eliminate duplicate development efforts, reduce impedance in the sales cycle, and better direct its product and services strategy toward application development and development platforms as it aims higher up the stack to the application layer. (See Conway's law for more on the consequences of disjointed, separate organizations.)
Emerging Tech Rise While Old Channels Persist
That's the short term. In the long term, VMware will pursue greater value to customers than the two separate companies offered independently. Here's how to judge whether VMware is succeeding:
Transition to software development platforms first, infrastructure second. VMware presented the Pivotal acquisition as a leap from its VM-based present into a future defined by containers and Kubernetes. That's a good start and puts some wood behind the arrow of "application transformation" that VMware has tried to message for a while. However, container development platforms with Kubernetes are already available from a range of powerful competitors, and just adding containers and Kubernetes to a virtualized IaaS platform doesn't help customers modernize applications. The Pivotal team understands developers and development platforms; VMware's leadership does not.
Combine Pivotal with the VMware cloud-native business unit. Although Pivotal's revenue is less than one-tenth of VMware's, Pivotal has the relationships with developers and DevOps teams in some of the most innovative enterprises — the companies putting cloud-native development practices, architectures, and platforms in place. The Heptio and Bitnami acquisitions make more sense under the Pivotal brand. Watch for how VMware retains (or loses) Pivotal's key talent, which took a hit when Pivotal's valuation suffered a big decline in May.
Invest in cloud-native platforms ahead of demand. VMware is right to center its next act on containers and Kubernetes. The investment must be strong, despite relatively meager revenues flowing from the efforts initially. But investment must go beyond a great Kubernetes managed service to the platforms and services that help developers build new apps and modernize existing ones. Examples include Pivotal Function Service for serverless development on top of Kubernetes; Spring, Spring Boot, and Steeltoe for Java- and/or .NET-based microservices; and Pivotal Service Mesh. Kubernetes and containers are foundations only; the main event is application platforms and the programming model they enable.
Embrace platform and application portability. In the cloud-native era defined by containers, Kubernetes, and rapid commoditization of infrastructure services, platform providers like VMware-Pivotal and IBM-Red Hat must run equally well on a broad range of cloud platforms to succeed. VMware's view of portability is "run on vSphere-managed infrastructure"; Pivotal is already IaaS-agnostic (a source of friction between the two companies). VMware must get over its insistence on only its infrastructure if it hopes to serve customers as an alternative to IBM-Red Hat, in particular, and the major cloud platform providers in general. Microsoft embraces Linux and Java workloads on Azure because they drive revenue via consumption-based billing. Look for VMware to embrace "Pivotal Everywhere" in a similar way — as long as it spins VMware revenue dials. In the process, it creates an opportunity to migrate revenue it generates on its own to an adjacent market: the application platform.
Target modernization of core business applications with a joint solution. Pivotal taught many enterprises how to build new cloud-native apps. VMware created a migration path for existing virtualized apps to move to cloud infrastructure mostly unchanged (AWS, Azure, or Google). But no one has cornered the market for platforms to help enterprises start to incrementally tear apart, refactor, and rethink existing core business apps. Much of this work will start on-premises, and many of these apps are VMware-virtualized already. VMware must make the case that Pivotal on VMware is the best on-premises starting point to containerize their customers' most important — but crufty and complex — business applications.
Position a unified story for application and infrastructure development. Everything is now software, even some hardware. The successful enterprises of the future will develop applications and the necessary infrastructure in similar ways. Few technology companies can join the two worlds for their customers. VMware now can. It must promote software development skills, methods, and tooling to its huge base of existing infrastructure customers while it also strives to earn the trust of application developers. In its quest to promote a new model for joint infrastructure and application development, it will likely alienate some of the faithful followers in the church of VMware, but this is a move it must take. Orthodox modes of developing and deploying infrastructure and applications are already on an inexorable march toward extinction.

Plus Steven has managed to mortally offend the only ally strong enough to help out.
'And how can he ask someone to marry him when the End of Days seems inevitable. As if they are going to think he's committed. The portents don't look good as a comet burns vast and looming in the sky and Steven can almost hear a dark clock ticking. He will have to play nice if he wants his ally back, and must address the madness of the Hungry Death within himself if he even has a chance at defeating the Stirrer god.

New research in the journal Neuron reveals how the brain is able to meet its massive energy demands with a "just in time" system that delivers oxygen that fuels nerve cells. The findings could shed light on diseases like Alzheimer's and help explain the cognitive decline that accompanies the disease.
Energy in the brain is generated almost exclusively from a form of metabolism that requires oxygen. However, neurons only maintain a small reserve of energy and these cells require a continuous supply of oxygen, especially when the cells are firing and communicating with their neighbors. In fact, the brain's oxygen demands are enormous; despite comprising only 2 percent of the body, our brains consume 20 percent of the body's oxygen supply.
Scientists have long understood that there is a direct correlation between brain activity and blood flow. Using imaging technologies, they have observed that when neurons start to fire there is an accompanying increase in blood flow to area of the brain that is active.
What has not been fully understood is how the blood circulation system in the brain "knows" that it needs to ramp up blood flow to respond to the increased demand. This is an important question because unlike other parts of the body, the brain resides in a confined space which restricts the amount of blood that is on hand at any given moment. Consequently, the circulatory system must be precisely tuned, constantly reacting to shifts in demand by diverting and increasing blood flow to where it is needed most.
The system that brings blood to the brain is akin to a road network that serves a city. While arteries are the main supply routes into the brain, blood ultimately delivers its payload of oxygen to its final destination via a vast web of smaller capillaries – or microvessels – which permeate brain tissue. While some scientists have theorized that the main arteries are responsible for responding to increases in demand – essentially by dilating in order to increase blood flow – Nedergaard and her colleagues speculated that the capillaries must play a central role because they are closer to the action and would be the first to detect the need for more oxygen.
To test this theory the researchers created a miniature race track that mimicked the capillaries in the brain and placed red blood cells at the starting line on one end. When the oxygen level in the fluid outside the artificial capillaries was high, the cells took their time cross to the other side. However, when the oxygen levels were lowered, the blood cells raced to the other end. They also conducted these experiments in the brains of animals with the same results.
The experiments demonstrated that the blood cells can sense when the environment outside the capillaries is low in oxygen – which occurs when neurons take up more oxygen to generate energy – and respond by rushing to deliver more. They also observed that this response if very rapid, occurring less than a second after oxygen is pulled out of the surrounding tissue.
This phenomenon is unique to the capillaries because of their size. The thin walls of the microvessels mean that the oxygen levels in adjacent brain tissue are mirrored within the capillaries, which can signal to red blood cells to spring into action.
The findings could have implications for a number of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. It has been observed that blood flow in the brains of people with the disorder is impaired when compared to healthy brains. The difficulty in delivering the oxygen necessary for neuronal activity may help explain the cognitive difficulties that are one of the hallmarks of the disease.

Q: Bars not plotted in D3 stacked bar chart I have built a stacked chart using d3. But first data is plotted, but the second data is not getting plotted. The data is being fetched from an API, and the numbers possibly will have a huge difference. In the first data, E is not plotted in graph and the bar exceeds height of Y-axis. And, second one is not drawn at all. How to fix this. I checked several examples and the code I followed is same I think. I cannot figure out what's wrong.
Also, here I have given a fixed bar size. The bar is not drawn in the center, but towards left. I needed each bar to be plotted in the middle.
Code,
const data = [
{'category': 'Type 1', A: 0, B: 1402574577, C: 0, D: 19197208547, E: 1792937}, {category: 'Type 2', A: 14600000, B: 0, C: 0, D: 0, E: 2369530}]
const keys = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']
const cost = [
    [0, 1402574577, 0 , 19197208547, 1792937],
    [14600000, 0, 0, 0, 2369530]
]

const width = 500;
const height = 300;
const margin = {left: 100, top: 60, right: 60};

let svg = d3
      .select('#stackedbars')
      .append('svg')
      .attr('width', width + margin.left + margin.right)
      .attr('height', height + margin.top * 2)
      .style('background', '#fff');

svg = svg.append('g')
      .attr('transform', 'translate(' + margin.left + ',' + margin.top + ')');

const xScaleRange = data.length * 120;

const x = d3.scaleBand()
         .rangeRound([0, xScaleRange])
         .padding(0.1)

const y = d3.scaleLinear()
          .range([height, 0]);

const z = d3.scaleOrdinal()
          .domain(keys)
          .range(["#F6D7A7", "#F6EABE", "#C8E3D4", "#87AAAA", "#247291"]);
x.domain(data.map(d => d.category));
y.domain([0, d3.max(cost.flat())]).nice()

const gX = svg.append('g')
  .attr('class', 'axis')
  .attr('transform', `translate(0,${height})`)
  .call(d3.axisBottom(x).tickSizeOuter(0))
  .call(g => g.selectAll('.tick > line')
  .filter((d, i, nodes) => i < nodes.length - 1)
  .clone()
  .attr('stroke', '#cccccc')
  .attr('x1', x.step() / 2)
  .attr('x2', x.step() / 2)
  .attr('y1', -height)
  .attr('y2', 0));

const gY = svg.append('g')
  .attr('class', 'axis')
  .call(d3.axisLeft(y).ticks(null, 's').tickFormat(d => d))
  .call(g => g.selectAll('.tick > line')
  .filter((d, i) => i > 0)
  .clone()
  .attr('stroke', '#cccccc')
  .attr('x1', 0)
  .attr('x2', width));

gX.selectAll("line")
  .style("stroke", "#eeeeee");

gX.selectAll("path")
  .style("stroke", "#eeeeee");

gY.selectAll("line")
  .style("stroke", "#eeeeee");

gY.selectAll("path")
  .style("stroke", "#eeeeee");

gY.selectAll("text")
  .style("fill", "#8a8a8a");

const dataStackLayout = d3.stack().keys(keys)(data);
const layer = svg.selectAll(".stack")
    .data(dataStackLayout)
    .enter().append("g")
    .attr("class", "stack")
    .style("fill",  (d) => {
      return z(d.key)
    });

layer.selectAll("rect")
  .data(d => d)
  .enter().append("rect")
  .attr("x", d => {
    return x(d.data.category)
  })
  .attr("y",  d => y(d[1]))
  .attr("height", d => y(d[0]) - y(d[1]))
  .attr("width", "25")

A: Your code is basically correct. The problem is with values and scales. See an example in the snippet:

const data = [
{'category': 'Type 1', A: 10, B: 20, C: 30, D: 40, E: 50}, {category: 'Type 2', A: 50, B: 40, C: 30, D: 20, E: 10}]
const keys = ['A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E']
const colors = {
 'A': 'red',
 'B': 'green',
 'C': 'blue',
 'D': 'yellow',
 'E': 'orange'
};

const width = 500;
const height = 300;
const margin = {left: 100, top: 60, right: 60};

let svg = d3
      .select('#stackedbars')
      .append('svg')
      .attr('width', width + margin.left + margin.right)
      .attr('height', height + margin.top * 2)
      .style('background', '#fff');

svg = svg.append('g')
      .attr('transform', 'translate(' + margin.left + ',' + margin.top + ')');

const xScaleRange = data.length * 120;

const x = d3.scaleBand()
         .rangeRound([0, xScaleRange])
         .padding(0.1)

const y = d3.scaleLinear()
                    .domain([0, 200])
          .range([height, 0]);

x.domain(data.map(d => d.category));

const gX = svg.append('g')
  .attr('class', 'axis')
  .attr('transform', `translate(0,${height})`)
  .call(d3.axisBottom(x).tickSizeOuter(0))
  .call(g => g.selectAll('.tick > line')
  .filter((d, i, nodes) => i < nodes.length - 1)
  .clone()
  .attr('stroke', '#cccccc')
  .attr('x1', x.step() / 2)
  .attr('x2', x.step() / 2)
  .attr('y1', -height)
  .attr('y2', 0));

const gY = svg.append('g')
  .attr('class', 'axis')

Mauricio Pochettino sends message to Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Mauricio Pochettino sends a message of congratulations to new permanent Man United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
Sunday 31 March 2019, 04:45 UK
Mauricio Pochettino (Photo: Screengrab)
Mauricio Pochettino has congratulated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer for being appointed as the permanent Manchester United manager.
The Norwegian was officially confirmed as the Red Devils' new full-time boss on Thursday after having impressed following his appointment as interim manager back in December.
Solskjaer has helped to oversee a turnaround in form at Old Trafford to help the Red Devils to challenge for a top-four finish in the Premier League.
The former Manchester United striker has also successfully led the Red Devils through to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where they will take on FC Barcelona next month.
Pochettino himself was touted as a possible candidate to take over at Manchester United in the summer.
However, the Tottenham Hotspur boss has now offered his congratulations to Solskjaer after the news of his appointment.
Speaking in an interview quoted by the Daily Express, Pochettino said: "Of course I need to congratulate Ole and wish him all the best now he is officially the new manager of Manchester United,
"I don't talk about rumours and in this period there will be a lot more. It always happens.
"This season it is going to happen, last season, the season before. We assume all the rumours, it's very natural.
"It's speculation about some clubs will around with another clubs, like the speculation will start about the players."
Manchester United will return to action on Tuesday night when they travel to Wolves in the Premier League.
They will then switch their focus to their home clash against FC Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday 10 April.

Protesters, Activists Discuss Ongoing Protests Against Police Violence
Massive and mostly peaceful protests against police brutality sparked by the killing of George Floyd continued across the country last night from coast to coast. We're going to hear some voices from those protests, starting in Simi Valley, Calif.
UNIDENTIFIED PROTESTERS: (Chanting) No justice, no peace. No justice, no peace.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: That was where four LAPD officers stood trial for the 1991 brutal beating of Rodney King. Riots then broke out in Los Angeles after three of the officers were acquitted. Ray Wright (ph) is from Simi Valley. He explained why, as a black man, he felt compelled to join the demonstrations now.
RAY WRIGHT: Oh, racism is a problem everywhere. And if you don't see it, you're just oblivious to it. That means you just don't want to see it. So we're trying to do our best to put a stand to it and try to put an end to that. And if this is our moment to try to shine a light on it and make for change, let's do it.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: In Akron, Ohio, activist and organizer Prophecy Dorsey spoke about the significance of the protests' rallying cry.
PROPHECY DORSEY: I hear people say every time they hear the words black lives matter - I hear people say, all lives matter. You are absolutely right. Hold on. You absolutely right. All lives do matter. So how come black lives haven't mattered so far?
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Another protester, a Kent State University student named Aleila Brown (ph), said she hopes the police are listening.
ALEILA BROWN: Like, no one's saying that all police are bad, but people want to stick up for minorities and people of color because if there is a bad cop and everyone else is just turning a blind eye to the actions that they're taking, then that means you're just as bad as them.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: And in New Orleans, 75-year-old Ann Cobb (ph) said that she's been fighting against racism since the 1960s.
ANN COBB: I lived through it all. I was at the march on Washington, the riots after Dr. Martin Luther King was killed. And here we are in a whole new century, and we're doing the same thing that we were doing then. I have sons and daughters, and I worry about them every time they go out in the street.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: And speaker Melanie Medina (ph) implored the crowd to educate themselves about what is happening to black people in America today.
MELANIE MEDINA: Because if you remain blissfully ignorant, you have space in your head to think, well, you know, I'm not a slave today. Well, it's all good. I'm not getting lynched today, so it's all good. But baby, guess what? Even though we're not being lynched with rope, we're being lynched with bullets.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: In Minneapolis, where George Floyd was killed on May 25, Representative Ilhan Omar spoke at a demonstration where she called for drastic changes to how we police in this country.
ILHAN OMAR: We've all seen what happens when good people of good conscience say, let's invest in diversity training. We have also seen the calls for diversity. We have seen what happens when people say, well, how about we get a police chief that is a person of color? Well, I'm here to remind you all that all of that has failed.

Lecca Baffi is on a corner site between Bailèn and València. Giant marine blue awnings with large white lettering caught my attention driving by it the other day. Then conveniently, Sara Larsson who pens the blog Appetite and Other Stories (best blog name ever, right?) wrote to me to tell me she had organised a tasting for a few of us there. Lecca Baffi is an Italian expression akin to "finger licking good" which translates as "lick the mustache". Appropriately, there were a couple of Italian men sporting glorious mustaches. And a bearded Belgian who showed us around the place and talked us through the dishes.
Italian in Barcelona comes in two forms (gross generalization to follow) large and inauthentic or genuine and underfunded. For the latter, picture your local Italian corner shop, its lights off to save energy with a few nice dried pastas and a fresh mozzarella hovering to close to its sell by date. Sure you have the Xemei brothers up in Poble Sec and maybe a couple of others.
With Lecca Baffi things are set to change. First with a market / deli selling the usual: wines, olive oils, cheese, pasta made using traditional copper molds (creating ridges for the pasta sauce to stick to). They sell wonderful Italian deli meats: mortadella (sliced crepe paper thin), bresola and smoked turkey. We try a smoked mozarella that is glorious. Pizzas are pulled out of the oven and displayed on the counter for mere minutes before someone comes in and swipes off slices (no coincidence then that the Lecca Baffi folk are close friends with the Can Pizza Prat people). Which I deduce when I spot the same Cremeria Toscana ice cream we had at Can Pizza and ask Mat about it. "Oh, we are all friends." he smiles.
The cooked food like lasagna or eggplant parmesan is flying out as crowds of people bustle around the counter. The few bar stools inside and the bench outside are solidly occupied. I spot a few disappointed expressions when they realize there is no place to sit.
They need not be disappointed for long because Lecca Baffi have purchased the leases of the two shuttered adjacent shops. One of which is a defunct metalwork factory with a fabulous interior structure. Lecca Baffi will open a moderately priced, genuine, Italian restaurant in the spring of 2017.
We need to do this again soon, it was a pleasure to finally meet you!!!
