Abercrombie & Fitch takes its employees' looks seriously. Wearing black is not allowed, nail polish is discouraged, and flight attendants on the corporate jet even have to wear a specific kind of underwear.
But Abercrombie's "look policy" is more than a piece of shopping-mall micromanagement—it's at the center of a major Supreme Court case about religious discrimination in the workplace.
The court will hear oral arguments Wednesday in the case of Samantha Elauf, who was denied a job at an Abercrombie store because of the headscarf she wears as a practicing Muslim. Abercrombie says it didn't have to make an exception to its "look policy" for Elauf because she didn't specifically ask for one—while her lawyers say it shouldn't be up to job candidates to ask for religious accommodations.
Elauf applied for a job as a model at Abercrombie Kids—all the company's sales-floor personnel are hired as models—in 2008, when she was 17.
The assistant manager who interviewed Elauf was impressed and wanted to hire her, but wasn't sure whether Elauf's headscarf would violate the company's look policy. So she asked a more senior manager, who told her the scarf was a deal-breaker and not to hire Elauf.
The look policy is intense. It specifies appropriate hairstyles for employees, prohibits long fingernails, says that men cannot wear facial hair or jewelry, and requires employees to wear clothes that "fit the brand and set the example of the brand lifestyle." And at the time, it prohibited wearing hats—which the managers interpreted as also banning headscarves.
After Elauf found out why she didn't get the job, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued Abercrombie on her behalf, saying the company was required to make an exception to its policy to accommodate her religious beliefs.
The primary question before the Supreme Court is whether Abercrombie had a duty to offer Elauf a religious accommodation to its policy, or whether she had a duty to ask for one.
A federal appeals court sided with Abercrombie. Elauf didn't tell the company that she wore the headscarf for religious reasons and that she would therefore need an accommodation from the look policy. And the company's handbook instructs managers not to ask potential job candidates about their religion. Therefore Abercrombie was just enforcing its look policy, with no intent to discriminate against Muslims, the court ruled.
"An applicant or employee should not be able to impose liability on an employer for failing to accommodate his or her religious practice on the ground that the employer should have guessed, surmised, or figured out from the surrounding circumstances, that the practice was based upon his or her religion and that the plaintiff needed an accommodation for it," the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said.
But the EEOC says that interpretation would undermine the basic protections to which workers are entitled. Requiring employees to seek specific accommodations "reduces employers' incentives to come to the table when they become aware of conflicts between religious practice and work rules," the EEOC wrote. For example, if another employee mentioned that company policy conflicted with a colleague's beliefs, the company wouldn't have to do anything.
The ruling even could make it easier for employers to discriminate in their hiring, the EEOC argued, because inferences about someone's religion are pretty easy to draw: There's a good chance that an applicant wearing a yarmulke is Jewish, and someone with a necklace in the shape of a cross is probably Christian. Employers can assume that they would have to bend their rules for such an applicant, but the applicant doesn't know the employer's policies and therefore won't know to ask for an accommodation, the EEOC said.
"Permitting an employer to decline to hire job applicants based on their perceived religious practices, in these circumstances of informational asymmetry, would significantly undercut ... protections at the initial, critical stage of the employment process," the commission wrote in a brief to the high court.


The aim of this study was to analyze the health costs of the treatment and monitoring of children with microcephaly in the first year of life, considering the increase in cases of microcephaly associated with maternal infection by the Zika virus (ZIKV). This is an exploratory and descriptive study with a quantitative approach. This research adopts the Activity-Based Costing (ABC) technique. The treatment of problems associated with microcephaly listed in the first year of life of children totaled US$5,937.97/year, with items related to clinical procedures accounting for most of the spending on health amounting to US$4,697.09 in the observed period, followed by procedures for diagnoses, with a total of US$634.00. In 2015, 1,227 cases of microcephaly were registered, 1,152 in the Northeast, which is the most affected by ZIKV, generating a cost to the public coffers of more than US$11 million annually. Highlights - Increase in the recorded cases of microcephaly in newborns in Brazil;  - Treatment not specific because the interventions depend on the degree of damage to the child; - Public health agenda reform needed to take into consideration the health care costs in the first year of life of children with Zika virus-related microcephaly; - Cost analysis was performed by Activity-Based Costing (ABC) technique, focusing on processes that drive cost, in this case, those related to the production of integral health care; - Cost of microephaly cases in 2015 (1,227), represented US$11 million.

Dear brothers and sisters, I have been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and last Tuesday I had a iodine tablet treatment at Poitiers hospital. I mustn't be near children or pregnant women for two weeks ( as there are radioactive elements) so I will not be teaching. I put my trust in the Lord who will keep me safe under his wings.
Please pray that the treatment is successful. Though this comes a bit as a shock, someone reminded me of this passage in 1 Peter 1: It is being tested as fire tests gold and purifies it—and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold; so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honour on the day of his return.
Brother, we entrust your problem to Almighty God. May the Lord's strenght be with you, in the name of Jesus, Our Solution.


Jacksonville Patrolman Brock Lewis initiates a traffic stop Friday in Jacksonville. Lewis positions his vehicle during traffic stops so that other traffic must go around, giving him space to approach the driver that has been pulled over.
As a young cop, Jacksonville Police Chief Adam Mefford was sitting in the driver's seat when the back end of a semi truck ran over his squad car.
"The back wheels of the truck went over the back of the car on the driver's side and then down the side of the car and took the mirror off the driver's side," he said.
It's a danger emergency responders, highway crews and others face every day when they stop on the road.
Both the Jacksonville Police Department and the Morgan County Sheriff's Department have seen some close calls, but only one crash involving a law enforcement officer being hit while performing their duties along a roadside in recent years.
Morgan County Deputy Donald Neice was injured in September while assisting at a crash scene on Interstate 72 when a driver hit another vehicle into the emergency responders. Neice was taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
Before that, Sheriff Mike Carmody couldn't recall any incidents involving his deputies being hit in many years, though there have been accidents involving highway workers, snow plows and others being hit. Mefford also could not recall any in Jacksonville since his own accident 18 years ago.
Scott's Law, also known as the "Move Over Law," has been highlighted in the last week by state officials from the Illinois State Police acting director to Gov. J.B. Pritzker to U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis following more than a dozen roadside crashes injuring or killing state troopers.
Fifteen state troopers have been struck — either in or out of their squad cars — in crashes in the first three months of this year, according to the governor's office. The total for 2018 was just eight.
Two of the 2019 crashes killed state troopers, including one this week.
Trooper Brooke Jones-Story, a 12-year veteran of the state police, died Thursday after a truck hit her squad car and the commercial vehicle she was inspecting on U.S. 20 in Stephenson County. Trooper Christopher Lambert was killed in a crash in January.
Scott's Law requires drivers to slow down and change lanes for vehicles stopped along the roadside, according to the governor's office. The law is named for Chicago firefighter Lt. Scott Gillen, who was hit and killed while working a crash scene in 2000.
"If they have any revolving lights — whether their yellow or red or blue, construction workers and maintenance workers — they're all part of Scott's Law," Carmody said.
The roads state troopers, sheriff's deputies and city police officers patrol each have their own hazards, Mefford said.
On the interstate, there is a higher volume of traffic at higher speeds. In the rural areas where deputies are assisting or pulling over motorists, the roads are narrower with less room to operate and more blind spots. In an urban setting, there is even less room for officers to work with and for motorists to go around.
Morgan County Deputy Caleb Bourne, who worked an accident in which a tow truck driver was hit, said he tries not to focus on the danger.
Mefford said a lot of effort is put into training and improving technology, especially on lights, with safety in mind. And officers do things daily like making sure their emergency equipment is working and positioning their vehicles the safest way possible during a traffic stop.
Carmody said the state has over the years put more "bite" into the penalties for violating Scott's Law.
A violation results in a one-year license suspension and up to a $10,000 fine. The suspension is two years for hitting a person.
Public service announcements have also been used in an effort to raise awareness about the law across Illinois.
Mefford said it's "imperative" that people pay attention and are not driving distracted or impaired.

Broncos-Steelers pairs NFL's unexpected…
Broncos-Steelers pairs NFL's unexpected rushing stars Phillip Lindsay and James Conner
The duo combined for 1,466 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns entering Week 12
By Kyle Fredrickson | kfredrickson@denverpost.com | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: November 23, 2018 at 6:00 am | UPDATED: November 23, 2018 at 8:03 am
Joe Amon, The Denver Post
Running back Phillip Lindsay of the Denver Broncos at the Los Angeles Chargers at the StubHub Center Nov. 18, 2018 in Carson, Calif.
Roll the tape of Phillip Lindsay and James Conner, because if you haven't watched already, the Broncos' and Steelers' running backs have caused a collective NFL double-take this season.
Pittsburgh coach Mike Tomlin: "I remember the first couple of times I watched (Lindsay) five, six weeks ago on cross video (and) I had to get a flip card to figure out who he was."
Denver linebacker Von Miller: "(Conner) looks 5-5 on film and probably like 160 pounds."
Lindsay began the year undrafted from CU, scored a 29-yard touchdown on his second NFL touch and now ranks No. 5 league-wide in yards per carry (5.5). Conner ran for 144 total yards as a rookie, then emerged in Year 2 from the shadow of Le'Veon Bell's contract dispute and has exploded for 11 touchdowns in 10 games this season.
SURPRISE STUDS
A statistical comparison between Broncos' running back Phillip Lindsay and Steelers' running back James Conner entering NFL Week 12 and how their numbers rank league-wide.
Carries — Conner: 173 (No. 4) / Lindsay: 121 (No. 18)
Rushing yards — Conner: 796 (No. 4) / Lindsay: 670 (No. 8)
Yards per carry — Lindsay: 5.5 (No. 5) / Conner: 4.6 (T-No.11)
Rushing touchdowns — Conner: 10 (No. 3) / Lindsay: 5 (T-No. 6)
Entering late November, with the duo's production still thriving, the initial shock factor on tape has worn away. Or, as Steelers' coach Mike Tomlin puts it about Lindsay, "I think you can stop wondering 11 games in. I think he's got a big enough body of work. He's a guy to be reckoned with. Inside and out he's capable of breaking big runs."
"(Conner's) numbers are damn-near identical to Le'Veon, and we already know what type of player he was," Miller said. "He's a great player, he's able to hit the holes the right way and take screens and catch the ball. Whatever it is, he's a complete running back 100 percent."
The healthy return of Royce Freeman (ankle) to Denver's backfield figured to break up production. But in the Broncos' 23-22 victory at the Chargers last week, Lindsay led the way with 106 yards rushing/receiving and a pair of touchdowns — including a fourth-quarter direct snap run into the end zone. Lindsay's accounted for four scores over his last five games as the Broncos' clear every-down rusher until proven otherwise.
"(Lindsay) is a firecracker," left tackle Garett Bolles said. "He's going to give us the job that we need and do everything possible to get us in situations. We give him the rock and he pounds the rock. It causes people problems and we do a phenomenal job of coming off the ball. That's just how we've been from Game 1 to now. We can run the football and that's not going to stop."
Meanwhile, Conner has struggled over two prior starts with 65 yards rushing versus Carolina and only 25 total at Jacksonville. But adversity, on and off the field, is something he's conquered before. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in 2015 while playing at the University of Pittsburgh, Conner endured rigorous chemotherapy, beat the disease and returned to eclipse 1,000 yards rushing as a senior.

Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has since raved about Conner: "Not just catching the ball, but blitz pickups and understanding when to chip, when to help and when not to. Running backs are made to run the ball, but when you can do the extra things, that makes you a little more special."
While Lindsay's pre-NFL circumstances weren't quite so dire, a shared appreciation for an uphill climb in the pros bonds opposing rushers Sunday. Once counted out with yet another opportunity to prove the doubters wrong.
However, few remain.

Lake Elsinore is a city in western Riverside County, California, United States. Established as a city in 1888, it is on the shore of Lake Elsinore, a natural freshwater lake about 3,000 acres (1,200 ha) in size. The city has grown from a small resort town in the late 19th century and early 20th century to a population of 51,821 at the 2010 census.
After a few visits, I've noticed all the cakey donuts and fritters are overcooked (too crunchy). The coffee, however, is always fresh, and better than most chain coffee. The service here is terrific. Haven't tried the doughy donuts, but if you like those, this place is probably a winner all-around.
One of the best Starbucks in the area. This location sits atop the hill in the Wal-Mart Parking lot. Is just off the 15-fwy at Railroad Canyon. This location has 24-hr drive-thru. The staff is always friendly & this location is very fast compared to others in the area. The inside of the store is always kept clean & they have a large sitting area to enjoy your coffee with Free Wi-Fi.
Been here before and liked it, will go again BUT this past Saturday. Ana was our server, nice lady. I didn't think it was that busy for a Saturday but maybe for them it was as she apologized for the slow service. We never complained. I ordered #34 Genovessa - it was very bland. When I ate it for lunch today I doctored it up with garlic, salt & pepper and it was much better. 2 others ordered #30 Alfredo with no complaint except for when it came to the bill, they overcharged each of the meals $4.00 for the chicken that was ordered. When we questioned the server she didn't know then the owner came out and said she would make separate bills so we could understand. We didn't need separate bills they didn't understand that they did overcharge us. Alfredo [email protected] $19.95 already had the chicken in the price should have been $15.95. Then they added ***Alla Romano style 2 @$4.00 =$8.00 they didn't understand their own system. So if you order #30 Alfredo make sure they only charge you $15.95 not $19.95.
There's a new donut place in town and it's fabulous. They also make terrific breakfast sandwiches. I like the large bagel with ham and egg. The donuts are soft and fluffy. Coffee is excellent. It's right off the I-15 at Diamond Dr exit. It's getting busy. They'll need more employees and more donuts!
Used to be a regular moved to Murrieta don't seem to get up that way much anymore. I took the family in for dinner the other night and I was really impressed. The food has always been authentic Mexican food with great flavors.
But I really like the remodel they've done over the past few years they really updated it the look. The service is fast the servers are always nice it's just a great restaurant. I'm gonna make it a point to go there regularly again.
La Unica Cocina Mexicana means The Only Mexican Cuisine, but in the street where they are located we saw several Mexican restaurants. Is a daring title, because perhaps it implies that they stand alone in culinary excellence, and from the numbers of 5 Stars reviews found in Yelp, I even began to believe they were going to be that good.
So we decided to go, just a few days after a not very auspicious dinner at another highly rated Mexican place: Provecho, in Sun City. I was curious to compare one with the other.
Service was acceptable, place was nearly empty when we arrived at around 7:15 PM on a Wednesday, but gradually more patrons kept arriving. The restaurant area is built like a train cart, long and narrow.
Supremos Nachos, with Carne Asada, $14. An expensive failure that was no better than lesser priced Nachos. Pieces of Carne Asada chewy and old. Beans dried and tasteless, guacamole a little nicer but small, salsa acceptable but really a sad beginning for this highly praised eatery. No more than one Jalapeño slice in the concoction. 1.5 Stars.
Carnitas Combo (2), $14 each. One with Black beans, the other with Pinto refried beans. The refried old and dried, I heard that the black beans were better. Mexican rice well made. Two corn tortillas, stale and lukewarm. Carnitas were dry, a sip of water after each bite dry, charred and salty, with maybe one or two more tender pieces. Can't believe how poorly made they were. 1.5 Stars.
Camarones al Mojo de Ajo, $16. With Black beans, rice and two corn tortillas. This Shrimp dish with garlic, according to the one who ordered it, was delicious. 4.5 Stars.
Enchiladas Shrimp, $15. Served with their refried beans, rice and two corn tortillas, and smothered in their red sauce, eater said it was okey, not great by a long shot. 3 Stars.
Churros w caramel inside, $8. Three small churros, with barely any caramel inside, covered in sugar, a joke that costs way too much for what it really was. 2 Stars.
Creme Brûlée, $9? Very well regarded by those who tried it. 4.5 Stars.
Water was fresh, chips warm, salsa average at best. Total close to $125 before gratuity. Let's just say that this place is no bette, or worst, than just about any other Mexican restaurant.
The view is great, the food good, the inside atmosphere funky, Bruce, the server is friendly, but good luck if you need a restroom. They have ONE working, filthy, "Porti-Potty." If you gotta go, ya gotta go, but you'll be tempted to burn your shoes when you leave that "Porti-Potty."
At In-N-Out Burger, quality is everything. Stop by to enjoy our menu of hamburgers, cheeseburgers, french fries and shakes. In-N-Out makes fast food the old fashioned way.
Animal style fries and a grilled cheese. Yum. Double double's and even grilled cheese sandwiches. Ordering off the secret menu is part of the fun of going to In n Out. The food is always great and service is friendly. Cleanliness seems to be part of the company mantra.
A small place but a good place to go have a beer and the food may be a tad expensive but has been tasty every time we have gone.

In Ontario, the Secretary of state for Education is responsible to add mass to curriculum policy documents.
In 2003, the Ministry established a continuing cycle of curriculum review.
Review isn't a growth and development of a totally new curriculum, but is supposed to be sure that the curriculum remains current and relevant and it is developmentally appropriate from Kindergarten to Grade 12 in most subjects.
Numerous subject disciplines have joined review process every year.
Review supports students, instructors, schools and boards by determining specific areas looking for support and enables lead here we are at development or upgrading of related support materials as needed.
The Curriculum Review process is really a research-based and evidence-informed procedure that starts with 3rd party research and benchmarking from the Ontario curriculum against curricula from across Canada and round the world.
Groups of experts within the subject discipline from over the province evaluate the present curriculum from the preferred condition for that modified curriculum. Information collected from experts, focus groups, consultation services, research and benchmarking is synthesized and directions for revision writing are recognized.
A draft, reflecting modified anticipation and good examples according to analysis and synthesis which reflects current direction within the discipline, is developed. Periods are held to collect input via a number of possibilities, including in person and web enabled periods.
Experts within the subject discipline evaluate the manuscript to make sure academic precision. Final reviews for prejudice, equity and inclusive education, First Nations, Métis and Inuit perspectives, environment education, and financial literacy occur to make sure that the manuscript is inclusive and reflects the direction from the Secretary of state for Education.
Editing from the suggested draft revisions is completed by professional editors. When needed, small specific revision writing teams refine the suggested draft and focused consultation on final revisions can also be held.
Once launched, board teams and stakeholders are asked to implementation learning periods concerning the modified curriculum. Assets are designed to support board training and implementation specific towards the modified curriculum. These periods ensure common understanding and consistent messages about curriculum revisions and anticipation for implementation.

1992's pop culture can be described as the pinnacle of pop culture of the 90s. Everything that makes the 90s a memorable era is somehow connected to 1992. Technology became more advanced; Cable TV allowed you to watch sports at any time, and the internet was knocking at the door.
Following are the major highlights from 1992:
Produced during the Disney renaissance era, Aladdin became an animated masterpiece that is still celebrated to this date. It is based on a folktale from One Thousand and One Nights. Notable cast members include Robin Williams, Scott Weinger, and Linda Larkin.
Aladdin was a worldwide success. The film was praised for the choice of dialogue and cast members. It grossed over $504 million worldwide, making it one of the highest-grossing animated movies ever made. The soundtrack for Aladdin was also critically acclaimed and won many awards.
Quentin Tarantino was all over the 90s scene, with one hit after another. Reservoir Dogs is no exception when it comes to the sheer brilliance of Tarantino as a storyteller. The plot follows along with a failed jewelry store heist, and then several betrayals happen.
It paved the path for Pulp Fiction (1994) in many ways, such as the linear storytelling and a cult following. Reservoir Dogs is often regarded as the most significant independent movie ever made. It incorporated gore, suspense, and thrill like never before.
It is the sequel to the 1989 movieBatman. Michael Keaton plays the leading for Bruce Wayne, and Danny DeVito plays as the Penguin. The film is set in Gotham City, where the Penguin is going after all the newborn sons. Bruce Wayne deals with the psychotic character while also handling Catwoman (played by Michelle Pfeiffer), who is after the Max Shreck, an evil tycoon.
The film was praised for its use of special effects, performances, and soundtrack. Batman Returns didn't live up to the standard set by Batman (1989); the majority of viewers missed the groundbreaking joker performance by Jack Nicholson. However, Batman Returns performed relatively great on the box office and earned around four times its budget.
A Few Good Men had a star-studded cast consisting of Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore. It follows the life of two US-marine officials who are currently undergoing a court-martial. They're under trial for the murder of another US-marine official.
A Few Good Menwasn'tjust a box office hit; rather, it was praised by the critics and audience alike. Critics loved how Aaron Sorkin was able to portray the courtroom scene in his writing. According to him, he was inspired to write about it from his sister, who had just signed for the US Navy.
Nirvana's Nevermind Goes on Top
For the starters, the album featured a naked baby in a swimming pool as the cover, making it one of the most famous album covers in the world. Nevermind was Nirvana's second album, and it was an instant success throughout the US.
The album was majorly inspired by other bands such as Melvins, Pixies, and The Smithereens. Nirvana never actually thought their album would reach such heights. At one moment,Nevermindwas selling more than 300,000 copies per week. This success cemented Nirvana's place in the punk rock genre.
Smells Like Teen Spirit was the most critically acclaimed song featured on this album; it was also released as a single, and it charted in various countries. Later in 2017, it also got admitted to Grammy's Hall of Fame.
Shake spears Sister Stay Peaks in the UK
Four years after the duo split from Bananarama, they finally got their breakthrough hit in the form of Stay. It was released as a single and also featured in their album,Hormonally Yours. The song was an instant hit all across Europe; however, it was only able to reach the top four spots in the US.
It also won the award for the British Music Video of The Year 1993. The song has a Platinum certification in the UK and has been featured in various reality TV shows like X-Factor and Britain's Got Talent.
Kriss Kross Shakes the Hip Hop Scene
The duo featured two young rappers, Chris Kelly and Chris Smith, both teenagers. They were essentially the youngest ever hip-hop duo formed. Their song Jump was able to stay at the billboard for eight consecutive weeks and then certified as double platinum.
KrissKross later that year signed a record deal with Dupri and released their debut album titled Totally KrossedOu', which later topped the US Billboard Top 200 charts. They also performed on Michael Jackson's European tour and made a cameo appearance in his music video.
Billy Ray Cyrus Released his Debut Album:
After his initial struggle, Billy Ray Cyrus was finally able to sign a deal with Mercury Records, and subsequently, he released his debut album Some Gave All. It also featured the song Achy Breaky Heart, which sent Billy Ray Cyrus into the spotlight. It also brought line dancing to the mainstream dance performances.
Some Gave All was a hit in the country genre, and it earned several awards. Billy Ray Cyrus was also nominated as the Best New Artist that year for his album.
Windows 3.1 Released
Microsoft released a new version of Windows back in 1992, which was also based on MS-DOS. It featured the same graphical user interface as featured in the previous edition of Windows; however, various improvements were made.
It was the first Windows version to add support for TrueType fonts out of the box without any additional software installation required. This version was better at crash handling than the previous version; however, the requirements to run Windows 3.1 were bumped up.
It also introduced Windows Registry, which handles all the sensitive information and configurations required to run Windows smoothly and without any errors. This was the first Windows version to be distributed on CDs by Microsoft.
IBM Introduced ThinkPad to the World
IBM released its first ThinkPad notebook portable computer back in 1992. It featured a TFT display and a TrackPoint to work as a mouse. It was able to run full desktop-based programs; however, the performance was largely hindered.
700C had a 25Mhz Intel CPU, and 16 MB of maximum RAM supported. Richard Sapper designed it, and to this day, ThinkPad laptops follow the same design approach. Later, IBM released several updated models and improved the battery life along with fixing some design issues.
IVR Was Being Implemented
IVR stands for Interactive Voice Response, which was now being installed and implemented in various call centers and offices throughout the state. IVR simply takes out the human responsibility of answering and handling calls; IVR handles each caller and allows them to enter specific codes to perform the requested operations.
The caller can then talk to the helpline representative without any issue. It improved the long waiting queues that were a huge part of helpline calls. It allowed the callers to register their complaints and got their queries answered effectively.
2G Mobile Phones Are Launched
2G networks were a massive improvement over the first-generation networks that relied on old analog radio techniques. 2G networks made switching from one tower to another tower without dropping your call possible.
For the first time, calls required authentication and were less static as compared to old network standards. It also made text messaging possible; however, texting plans were costly at that time, and people often avoided texting each other. It was where Nokia and Motorola begin their dominance in the mobile phone market.
JPEG Standard Is Finalized
For years there was constant confusion regarding which image formats to use. Formats like bitmap and others were memory hogging and non-efficient. JPEG addressed the issues with them and allowed for an efficient and secure way to store your pictures and drawings. However, JPEGs were significantly lower quality as compared to other formats present at the time.
FA Premier League Was Formed
1992-93 become the first season of the English top-flight soccer league known as the FA Premier League. Manchester United were the first ones to win the Premier League. It opened doors for a lot of sponsors and TV broadcasters such as Sky Sports and BBC.
It featured 22 clubs; however, the number was subsequently reduced to 20 teams as the seasons progressed.The old first division was now known as 'The Football League.'
Marseille Wins the UEFA Champions League
It was the inaugural season of the UEFA Champions League; it was previously called the European Champions' Club Cup. It was also the first Champions League to introduce the star ball, that has been used in every Champions League game ever since. Marseille won the Champions League and, to this day, are the only French club ever to win it.
Toronto Blue Jays Win the World Series
Before 1992, no team outside of the US ever came close to winning the World Series; however, Toronto Blue Jays proved themselves and won four to two games against Atlanta Braves, making them the first non-American team to win the World Series. It was also the first world series that was played outside the United States.
Chicago Bulls Win the 1992 NBA Finals
Chicago Bulls, coached by Phil Jackson, were able to defeat Portland Trail Blazers by 4 to 2 and win the NBA Finals. This also made Michael Jordan the most valuable player for the second time consecutively.
Big Hair and Big Hoops WereCommon
Contrary to popular belief that 90s fashion caused women to straighten their hair, women actually kept the 80s trend of having big hair until the mid-90s. It can be immediately noticed in various movies from that period.
Cyber Culture
Internet Was Being Adopted Worldwide
In 1992, there were roughly about 26 websites that you could visit; however, users communicated through various protocols and often shared files and stuff. This was the time when sharing anything over the internet was painfully slow, and most of the people didn't even have access to it. HTML web browsers were still not stable, and people used to share ASCII art.
Rave Culture
The emergence of techno music heavily influenced the club culture, there were now more and more rave parties being held. This led to the creation of rave music as a genre. Youngsters would often get drunk and then literally dance till they passed out on the floor.
Billy Ray Cyrus' song Achy Breaky Heart brought the cowboy line dancing to the mainstream. The influence could be felt in various music and dance shows held during 1992 all over the country.
Agrippa (A Book Of The Dead):
Agrippa was a collaboration of novelist William Gibson, artist Dennis Ashbaugh, and publisher Kevin Begos Jr.; the main idea behind this book is that it kills itself after using. It has a poem stored on a 3.5mm floppy disk that encrypts itself after one use. Similarly, the pages are photosensitive, which means that the text and images will gradually fade away once the reader starts reading it.
Gerald's Game by Stephen King
Gerald's Game proved to be another successful book from the prolific Stephen King. The book follows the story of a wife who is trapped and has just lost her husband while being handcuffed to the bed. She is then guided by voices inside her, which later take control of her.
Sports Became Dedicated
As cable reached more households, the broadcasters saw this as an opportunity to start offering TV channels that solely focused on sporting events such as NBA, PGA, baseball, and soccer. This strategy proved to be successful, and a lot of people quickly grabbed the sports option from their cable TV offerings.
This also led to licensing of sports events to specific broadcasters to gather maximum TV audience and ratings.
The Cosby Show Aired its Final Episode
Long-running, The Cosby Show finally ended their spree of making America laugh in 1992. The show is currently ranked 28th in the 50 greatest shows of all time by the TV Guide.It was one of the first shows to defy the black racial stereotypes that American TV used to portray.
Clinton Won the Presidential Election
Bill Clinton and his running mate Al Gore's partnership was praised by many, and they were able to defeat the Republican nominee President George H.W. Bush and Vice President Dan Quayle. Ross Perot was also campaigning himself as the independent nominee for the President of the United States.
Bill Clinton was able to score more than 32 states, whereas Bush was only able to win in 18 states, Perot won none.
Hurricane Andrew
Hurricane Andrew was devastating and caused numerous casualties. It struck Bahamas, Florida, and other areas of Miami. It was enough to dislocate thousands of people and destroy their homes. It was only surpassed by Katrina in 2005.
The Cold War Ended
Despite ending in 1989, there were still some remains of the Cold War in the 90s. However, President Bush and Russian President Boris Yeltsin came forward and officially ended the cold war on February 1, 1992.
1992 saw a massive change in the global paradigm.The world was becoming more fast-paced and connected asthe internet was being adopted worldwide, and cable TV entered a new Golden age.Moreover, the world as a whole gave a sigh of relief when the cold war finally ended.

Guest ranches thrive in Oracle area
By DARREN BARAKAT PINAL WAYS MAGAZINE
Oracle was in its infancy as a mining and cattle ranching community around 1891 when it was mentioned in a medical journal. The article stated that the area north of Tucson was a great place for people with respiratory problems and diseases like tuberculosis. That was a big deal at the time. In the 1880s, according to the CDC, one in seven people in the United States and Europe were killed by tuberculosis.
The Acadia Ranch opened in the 1880s as a place of lodging, and even before that journal article, some of the clientele were wealthy Easterners with respiratory problems, according to Patrick Schifano, author of "Oracle Speaks: A History of the Town, the Kannally Family, and the Park." In the 1890s the Mountain View Hotel opened its doors, often to people with tuberculosis or asthma.
Cattle ranching in the United States peaked in 1918 and then fell sharply for years, pushed downward by drought in the 1920s and the Great Depression in the 1930s. To survive, many former cattle ranches became "dude ranches," offering overnight guests horseback riding and other "Old West" activities that couldn't be found in the city.
George Wilson came to Oracle in 1906 with breathing problems. He raised cattle but converted his ranch, Rancho Linda Vista, into a dude ranch in 1924. The Triangle L Ranch, the 3C Ranch and El Rancho Robles also became dude ranches in the first half of the century.
"Oracle has hospitality in its blood," said Zach Nichols, who works in business development for 3C Ranch, a guest ranch 7 miles southeast of Oracle.
Even today, decades after tuberculosis was cured and dude ranches fell out of favor, the Oracle area has more than its fair share of guest ranches.
Oracle guest ranch operators say the area is an attractive place for them because of its climate, vegetation, elevation and lack of artificial light.
In 1936 Nichols' grandmother came to the area from New York to try to kick tuberculosis, and she stayed. Nichols grew up in Tucson and also stayed in the area.
"This is why I live here and everybody else is dying," said Nichols about the dry, 90-degree air at the 3C Ranch while leading a tour in July, comparing it to the triple-digit heat in Tucson and Phoenix.
"The mountain atmosphere and the weather is a huge part," said Mark Lanese, manager of El Rancho Robles guest ranch. "It's a destination town for people, for people to get out of the town they're in."
At the northern base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, at an elevation of about 4,500 feet, Oracle has trees and vegetation that lower-lying desert areas around it lack.
"People are always so shocked by how much green is up here," said Jennifer Dadow of Oracle, who works at 3C Ranch.
Oracle has also become a destination for stargazers. Oracle State Park was designated an International Dark Sky Park, the first of its kind in Arizona, in 2014. The lack of artificial light makes it easier to clearly see the stars in the night sky.
"It's a great place to relax and recharge and see the stars," said Sharon Holnback, owner of the Triangle L ranch.
Here's a closer look at three historic guest ranches in the Oracle area:
3C RANCH
When Dadow was planning her wedding, she found a venue she liked enough to put down a $1,000 non-refundable deposit.
Then she visited the 3C, a fairly isolated plot of land in the hills 7 miles southeast of Oracle. The property has been undergoing massive improvements since Charley and Connie Goff bought it in 2017.
A new upstairs and downstairs bar was built with all new furniture in the clubhouse. A restaurant has been built there too, although it was still awaiting inspection by the county in July. Basketball and bocce courts are outside.
The ranch has six units with 13 bedrooms and sleeps about 40 guests right now. Two of the units are known as Nixon Houses because President Nixon stayed there. The cabins have been upgraded and updated, including new TVs and luxuries such as granite countertops. Although the ranch looks rustic from the outside, according to Nichols, hoity-toity types from the big city are impressed with the overnight units.
"They feel right at home," Nichols said.
Dadow liked it enough that she forfeited that $1,000 deposit and got married on March 23 at the 3C Ranch. If that wasn't enough, she recently took a job there, too.
"It was perfect," Dadow said.
Future plans include a pool, fire pit and hiking trails. After the expansion, the ranch will be able to accommodate 60 to 65 overnight guests at a time, Nichols said. The Goffs recently opened an archery range on the property. According to Nichols, on opening day, 50 people were waiting at the gate at 7 in the morning.
The Goffs own the business next door, Arizona Zipline Adventures, and most of the cows you'll see wandering in the area.
The 3C Ranch got its name because years ago it was owned by Columbia Cattle Co. An attorney named Mary West bought the property in 1945 and then bought other ranches in the area, resulting in 36,000 acres of land owned or leased by the ranch. Plans for a subdivision in the 1970s and a big-game shooting preserve in the 1980s never came to fruition. When the Goffs bought it, it was being operated as a bed and breakfast.
"We've turned it into an events center," Nichols said.
In addition to weddings, the venue hosts bridal parties, family reunions and other signature events that can be repeated annually. For the Mount Lemmon Gravel Grinder, a bicycle race held every October, the ranch plans a beer garden and live music this year.
Frequent guests also include mountain bikers, side-by-side riders and hunters.
"Pinal County is becoming known for rural ecotourism," Nichols said. "We are working in this area to brand it as the adventure corridor."
EL RANCHO ROBLES
In its long-ago days as a dude ranch, El Rancho Robles didn't emphasize vigorous cowboy activities like some Western dude ranches. It sought instead to be known as a haven for repose.
Blake Campbell, an architect from New York, bought the ranch in 2012 and has restored that vibe, Lanese said.
Campbell and his wife have gone through every room and updated and modernized the furnishings and decor. Power, plumbing and other maintenance work has been done, and the arch entryway was painted with Western themes.
"The cosmetic transformation has been unbelievable," Lanese said.
Wi-Fi has been added, but one thing you won't find in any room is a TV.
"(Campbell) has promoted getting away from phone, TV, video games and enjoying nature. He wants to promote relaxation," Lanese said. "Very rarely do we hear people complain about TV. They sit on the porch. They hear nothing and they see everything."
Although the ranch is a quarter-mile from West American Avenue, the main street through Oracle, the property is quiet and secluded.
"You would never know this place is here from the road," Lanese said. "It's so serene here, so peaceful, so quiet. It's an oasis in the middle of nowhere."
The ranch is known for its large oak trees, Lanese said while leading a visitor down a path littered with small acorns.
"Native Americans love this place," he said. "They come up here to collect acorns to make paint and paste for ceremonies."
In Oracle's early days, the area's mines needed lumber and got it by cutting down any trees that workers could. Because El Rancho Robles was private property, the oaks there were spared. The shade adds to the feeling of tranquility.
The property was built as a dude ranch in the 1920s featuring distinctive Spanish architecture with elliptical arches. The main building with overnight units has skinny vertical windows because long ago horses lived there. For years, guests enjoyed campfires, playing horseshoes and a wading pool. Sometime after the dude ranch craze ended, the property was vacated. It became rundown, a local hangout for kids, Lanese said. After Campbell bought it, he offered rooms to long-term renters. Those customers were phased out in favor of nightly renters and events.
Today the ranch hosts weddings, family reunions and retreats. Especially popular, with the ranch's reputation for relaxation, are retreats focused on meditation and/or yoga.
As the biggest of the local guest ranches, El Rancho Robles has 26 units that can accommodate 100 overnight guests. The property has a 17-foot movie screen, walking trails and a dining hall. A commercial kitchen is on site, but guests must provide their own caterer or cooks. In one building is a downstairs speakeasy with a bar and a small room-sized safe. No one knows what was kept there, but today, the El Rancho Robles remains a safe place to relax.
TRIANGLE L
In 1967, the height of the hippie era, a group of artists associated with the University of Arizona took over the Rancho Linda Vista in Oracle. They turned it into an arts community where they could live with their families and pursue their creative passions.
When mixed-media artist Sharon Holnback purchased the nearby Triangle L Ranch in 2001, she had a similar vision.
"My intention was for the place to be a haven for art-related activities," she said.
The property today includes a gift shop that sells handmade items by local artists, a fixed-up adobe barn that serves as a gallery for periodic art exhibitions and installations, and a 10-acre sculpture park. Guests walk paths through the park and see the sculptures by local artists.
The signature event each year is GLOW, a festival of art, lights and performance. For GLOW, more sculptures are added to the park and are covered with lights so that they glow in the night sky. Glowing artwork is also added to the adobe barn. Live music and theatrical performances are part of the experience. Typically, around 100 artists, musicians and performers participate each year.
This year's event will cover four nights in September and October, and each night has a different theme. It's scheduled around the time of the full moon for added effect. Attendees are expected to wear a costume.
"It incorporates all the things I love — the ranch, art, artists, the desert, a party with people in costumes, the night sky," Holnback said.
In addition to Holnback, a few other artists live on the property, which operates as a bed and breakfast with five cottages that can accommodate around 14 guests.
Weddings have been held at the Triangle L, and the bed and breakfast occasionally attracts paranormal investigators because of rumors the property is haunted. Other frequent guests include hikers, mountain bikers, bird watchers and "Zen retreaters."
Most of the focus, though, is on the art and people looking for an unusual lodging experience.
"I think that a lot of people these days are looking for something different," she said. "It's not a typical Holiday Inn or hotel or motel experience. ... It's comfortable but rustic."
In the 1880s the property was known as the "Boot Ranch" because leather was made there. The Ladd family of Boston bought it, turned it into a cattle ranch and hosted legendary cowboy Buffalo Bill Cody, according to the Triangle L's website. William Trowbridge, a financier from New York, bought it in 1924 and turned it into a dude ranch. It became a guest ranch before Holnback took over.
"People really appreciate the authenticity and the history and they end up feeling, really, a connection to the place," she said. "We sit around the table at breakfast and have conversations. People find some kind of common ground to talk about. It's something really special." | PW

Briefing Document
Five Lives : How a financial transaction tax could support global health
'5 Lives' are the stories of people that MSF works with every day, whose health and lives often hang on a simple medical intervention.
These personal experiences are a snapshot of the unnecessary suffering MSF medical staff see first-hand daily in places where people can't get adequate medical care and that could be avoided with proper, sustainable funding and investment.
We're doctors and nurses, not bankers, but we can see how investing in real futures – like the futures of the people profiled here - will transform the lives of those made vulnerable through illness, and create a strong foundation for their families and their communities to build on.
That's why MSF supports calls to direct a small but permanent portion of a new financial transaction tax (FTT), proposed by some governments, to meet global health needs. A regular stream of funding would help provide some funding to address unchecked health crises around the world.
The accounts told here of individuals that have benefited from a medical intervention, might be just a drop in the ocean, but what we see in their story is the possibility of an amazing impact if the interventions that saved their lives could be made available on a wider scale.
An allocation of proceeds from the FTT for global health could help make that possible.

MD HomeCare makes house calls to the patients who need it most.
COMPANY // MD HomeCare LLC | 7800 Paseo Blvd., Kansas City, MO | (816) 523-3055 | www.mdhomecareweb.com | MD HomeCare LLC is a medical practice that performs house calls to persons who are homebound or disabled.
The idea of a doctor making a house call might seem like something that happens only in black-and-white movies.
Yet a small but mighty Kansas City practice, MD HomeCare LLC, has been operating a medical house-call business for 17 years.
MD HomeCare bills itself as mobile doctors for immobile people. It's one of the few services that sends medical doctors to treat patients who are primarily homebound. Some patients are bedridden due to illness or obesity. Others are suffering from blindness, agoraphobia, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, ALS, severe arthritis or other conditions.
Joahn Hall, a family physician, operated the business on her own until her daughter, Cristina Betts, recently joined the LLC. Hall runs the medical side while business operations are directed by Betts, who has an MBA and spent years in management consulting for the IT industry.
MD HomeCare has been solidly, reliably successful for years. Yet Betts has long known that the business could easily be expanded and replicated elsewhere. It's why the mother-daughter team turned to ScaleUP! Kansas City this spring for help.
ScaleUP! is offered by the University of Missouri-Kansas City Innovation Center and the U.S. Small Business Administration. The training program is open to entrepreneurs who have been in business at least two years, generate $150,000 to $500,000 in annual revenue and are in a market capable of supporting more than $1 million in sales.
After just a few weeks in the program, Betts knew it would be life-changing, both professionally and personally.
MC HomeCare started 17 years ago when Hall discovered the need for its services under sad circumstances: Her children's daycare provider, nicknamed Pepsi, fell ill and could no longer care for herself.
"It was an eye-opening experience when I became a caregiver of my babysitter and understood, firsthand and quite intimately, how involved and taxing that can be on a regular basis," Hall said.
Getting Pepsi to a doctor's appointment was a monumental undertaking.
The entourage would have to follow them in and out of the doctor's office—a task that would take hours—for a 15-minute appointment.
Hall started talking with others and realized the problem wasn't an anomaly. With some research, she also discovered that insurance and Medicare would cover home-based care in some cases. Soon after, Hall began making house calls at night for friends from church.
Some were homebound and didn't receive any medical care, while others spent several days recovering from seemingly minor doctor's trips. Hall knew some patients were in such a fragile state that those trips to the doctor were taking months, if not years, off the patient's life.
It's different from traditional home health care, which sends nurses into a home. Those nurses must be ordered by doctors, Hall said. In this case, Hall sees the patients in the home and can also order nurses to make follow-up visits. But a patient doesn't need to travel to a traditional doctor's office.
Hall had no intention of growing the business back then.
"For me, it was a need I wanted to address and keep it on a small scale, purposely not really growing because I didn't want to overextend myself," she said.
But Betts recently pointed out the practice's potential. And so, together, the two have married Hall's medical expertise with Betts' business skills.
Betts has already made several moves to grow MD HomeCare, including hiring two nurse practitioners who have helped grow revenue. But she knows MD HomeCare needs help to get to the next level. That's where ScaleUP! comes in.
Betts has already begun putting her new skills to work.
For starters, she is writing down MD HomeCare's business practices. If it is going to grow, ScaleUP! experts said, it must run without Betts and Hall handling every task.
Betts also learned how to communicate better with her mom—a physician and engineer who wants hard facts before making decisions.
ScaleUP! forces entrepreneurs to focus on tangible and researched evidence. It pushes business owners to make decisions based on the bottom line rather than friendships, seasoned partnerships or hunches.
Betts realized that before asking her mom to make changes, Betts needed to show her clear research supporting the moves.
Betts also plans to use ScaleUP! to form a marketing plan. Betts knows there are untapped markets out there—people simply need to hear about MD HomeCare's services. ScaleUP! will help her tackle that project next, and then, she believes, growth is inevitable.


There are a variety of technologies used to process liquid waste. However, specific needs don't always justify the acquisition of these technologies. For these situations Recyc PHP provides the use of its absorbent pellets or its recycled sodium polyacrylate which gelled aqueous fluids to facilitate transportation and landfills of such waste.
Industries currently facing this problem use discarded materials such as sawdust. However, Recyc PHP's have a much higher absorption rate.
SHALESORB® is not a brand of Recyc PHP.
Recyc PHP reclaims super-absorbent polymers that are used in flood management.

Cill Dara deducted 12 league points
Ruth Chambers
Cill Dara RFC have been deducted twelve points in Division 1A of the Leinster League and have been ordered to play their first Provincial Towns Cup tie next season away from home. The penalties come after a Leinster Rugby Competitions Committee hearing last night (Thursday).
The Kildare club have been found guilty of a transfer form irregularity relating to one of their senior squad members but the club insist it was simply an 'administrative error'.
Cill Dara's Division 1A game against Wanderers, which was due to take place tomorrow (Saturday) has now been postponed and has been refixed for Sunday, March 9.


Three persons have been arrested by police in the Puttalam area while in possession of 2 kilograms of Crystal Methamphetamine, a stimulant drug popularly known as Ice.
The total value of the stock of narcotics has been estimated at Rs 20 million.
Also referred to as crystal or crystal meth, ice is the purest and most potent form of methamphetamine. It comes as a powder or crystals that are usually snorted, injected or smoked.
Methamphetamine is an extremely dangerous drug popular in different parts of the world mainly in Eastern Europe, South East Asia, South Africa and Australia.
The drug has frequently been detected by security agencies in Sri Lanka as of recently.


Clean Your House Faster: Yes, it's true! Gone are the days of putting excessive effort in order to force out water from your mop- now you can save time and effort as our Easy-Press system allows you to spin off excess water with only one move; just push the handle against the bucket spinner - mopping made easy for even junior and senior!
The material of the microfibers on this mop scrubbed in between the hardwood strips/beveled spaces! I wish I could give it a hundred stars!!!
Easy to assemble and clean and the materials are good quality.
Great product; heavy duty; sturdy mop handle; easy to put together.
While I will admit I have concerns over the all-plastic construction, it appears to be quite sturdy and I hope this translated into long-term durability.
It is now very easy to keep my house clean. High qualify and durable material.
The material DOES pick up the dirt! I hate mopping, but with this, I will definitely hate it less.
High qualify and durable material. I am thinking to buy anther one for my sister.
My mom loves this mop because it's light weight, sturdy, and good quality!
I like it but I think some features could be better. I like the spinning action but sometimes it gets a bit wild and sometimes the mop head is hard to maneuver around and you have to keep adjusting it manually.
The spin-dry feature is nice and makes it easy to regulate the amount of water on the mop.
I love the spin feature to ring it out, and it glides over the floors nicely and even glides across the quarter round trim at the edges of the floors which makes cleaning the baseboards a lot easier.
Cleans very well and the spin feature makes it easy to wring and use.
It does not dry too well before u apply it on the floor. So that whole pedal fancy draining mechanism I'm kind of disappointed with the results.
The best feature by far and made me click the buy button.. a simple lever that locks and unlucks the spinning feature on the mop.
The spin feature is ok not a requirement for me unless it's amazing and actually dries the mop after use.
The drain plug is another nice feature. I noticed where it is unavailable at this point.
The spinning feature cleans out the mop quickly and the bucket has a drain built in.
The only thing lacking would be a little scrubber feature on the mop head for the stuck on stuff.

GHD Digital, a business unit of Australian professional services firm GHD, has entered into a partnership with Orange Business Services (OBS) to deliver an IoT-as-a-service model to businesses in Australia and New Zealand (A/NZ).
Aimed at mining, transport, water and smart city firms, the partnership will blend data and insights from GHD Digital with analytics platforms supplied by OBS, the B2B branch of global telecommunications provider Orange Group.
The partnership will simplify and speed up the 'labour intensive' process with which businesses record and track statistics and data, according to GHD.
These statistics will relate to the movement of materials and assets at a construction site, monitor staffing, logistics, plus inventory and safety.
"Major infrastructure is primed for digital disruption," said Kumar Parakala, global digital lead at GHD. "However, clients face a range of challenges, from constrained bandwidth and connectivity to matching the hype of digital technologies with operational outcomes.
Founded in 1928 and headquartered in Sydney, GHD now operates across Asia-Pacific, Europe, North and South America, employing more than 10,000 people.
Earlier this year, GHD launched its digital transformation arm, GHD Digital, in an effort to provide consultancy services on cyber security and risk, digital strategy and transformation, smart technology services, digital innovation and data and analytics.
