AIRDRIE, Alta. — A Pride organization north of Calgary vowed to paint over vandalism to its rainbow pathway as many times as necessary following the latest incident where the path appears to have been tarred-and-feathered.
RCMP in Airdrie said in a news release that they received a report about a "black sticky substance found with white feathers" on the Pride flag that was pained on the pathway in Nose Creek Regional Park.
Police said it's the second incident of vandalism to the rainbow symbol in seven days, noting last weekend the pathway was also left with offensive graffiti specifically targeting the LGBTQ community.
The Airdrie Pride Society posted on Facebook that it was "extremely disheartened" about the latest vandalism and called it "targeted and hateful."
"This just goes to highlight that this was planned and intentional. People don't just have tar and feathers hanging around," Candice Kutyn, the group's vice-president, said in an interview.
"This is very targeted."
Kutyn said that police say they're investigating the incident as a hate crime.
Last week, Kutyn said homophobic as well as racist slurs, including swastikas, were painted across the path as well as other areas of the same park.
It happened on the anniversary of Airdrie's first Pride festival in 2019, she said.
"We just want to highlight that this isn't only targeted at the LGBTQ+ community - there's a lot of hate that's happening."
Police are asking anyone with video footage or who witnessed suspicious activity in Nose Creek Regional Park between 10 p.m. on Friday night and 11 a.m. on Saturday to contact them.
The Airdrie Pride Society said that while the group will repaint the rainbow, it costs $300 to do so, which it said takes away from other community programming it offers.
Kutyn said "major contributors" have stepped up to help repaint, and the group has also received many smaller donations. She also noted that Airdrie's mayor came out to help clean up last week's graffiti.
"People are saying enough is enough with racism, with homophobia, and that creates defensiveness and fear in hateful communities," Kutyn said.
"You can't fight hate with hate. We're trying to fight it with love, and the hate just keeps screaming."
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 27, 2020.

On January 18, 1836, Representative William L. May of Illinois presented this petition to the House. It details the concerns of Hancock County, Illinois, residents related to the navigability of the Mississippi River at the point of the Des Moines Rapids and asks Congress for funds to solve the problem. It describes the dangers vessels faced in maneuvering through the shallow, rocky waters and proposes removal of rocks and construction of a series of dams as a possible solution.
In 1837, Congress commissioned the Army Corps of Engineers to study the area and draft a plan for improving navigation. Lieutenants Robert E. Lee and Montgomery C. Meigs, both of whom would go on to illustrious military careers, initially helmed the project. From 1838 to 1839, the Corps focused on "underwater blasting to create a 200-foot-wide and five-foot-deep channel through [the rapids]". The work was difficult and time consuming. Progress on the channel stopped in 1856 and didn't resume until after the Civil War. The work continued in fits and starts, culminating with the opening of a canal, complete with locks to manage ship traffic, in 1877.

VOD film review: Ghostbusters: Afterlife
This heavy-handed supernatural sequel is too haunted by its own nostalgia.
Ivan Radford | On 13, Jan 2022
Director: Jason Reitman
Cast: Carrie Coon, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd
"What kind of scientist was grandpa?" "The kind that repels loved ones." That's Phoebe (Mckenna Grace) and her mum, Callie (Carrie Coon), after they move to Callie's father's old home – a tumbleweeding estate in the middle of mid-America. Along with Phoebe's brother, Trevor (Finn Wolfhard), they hope to make a fresh start there – at least, until they can sell up the place and move back to the city, where they're overdue on rent. Ghostbusters: Afterlife could never be accused of having such disregard for heritage – it soon becomes clear that this is a sequel built entirely out of nostalgia.
Affection for the past is no bad thing, but Ghostbusters: Afterlife is weighed down not only by nostalgia but also a determination to elevate that past into something approaching sainthood; what began as a plucky supernatural comedy is here treated with a reverence that feels heavy-handed at best and, at worst, stops the franchise from moving forward altogether.
Things start on a wonderful note of promise, as Phoebe and Trevor take centre stage, along with Lucky (Celeste O'Connor), Trevor's new crush, and Podcast (Logan Kim), Phoebe's new friend, who has his own podcast. They scamper about piecing together a ghostly mystery, with all the retro cool of Stranger Things and all the earnestness of Super 8 – the film's affection for Amblin adventures of old is worn proudly on its sleeve, complete with Ghostbusters stickers and badges. But while it's derivative, it's certainly entertaining, with Coon's sarcastic mother playing the comic relief alongside Paul Rudd as an excitable science teacher. Little touches, such as a trap stuck to a remote control car or mini marshmallow critters, give a fresh jolt of energy to the series.
But somewhere along the way to the inevitable end-of-the-world climax, director Jason Reitman and co-writer Gil Kenan forget about the new generation of Ghostbusters and start trying to dig up memories of the old ones instead. While the beautiful score from Rob Simonsen benefits from playing with half-forgotten motifs, the script is unbalanced by it, ultimately emerging like a bizarrely unnecessary attempt to correct the direction set by the entertaining 2016 Ghostbusters remake.
Paul Feig's laughter-heavy entry in the franchise was defined by its irreverence to the material, and handled cameos from familiar faces with a wry wink. Here, such callbacks are treated with the straightest of faces, which leaves the kids purportedly set to inherit the franchise (played brilliantly by the young cast) feeling like they're only playing second fiddle to the original 80s-era Ghostbusters. The result plays less like a love letter to the franchise and more like a love letter to the fans from 40 years ago, without – crucially – making room for new ones to join the club. What begins as a sweet-hearted sequel is so busy looking back that it ends up crossing its own syrupy streams.

Hypnosis is a state of extreme self-focus and attention in which minimal attention is given to external stimuli. In the therapeutic setting, a clinician may use relaxation and suggestion in an attempt to alter the thoughts and perceptions of a patient. Hypnosis has also been used to draw out information believed to be buried deeply in someone's memory. For individuals who are especially open to the power of suggestion, hypnosis can prove to be a very effective technique, and brain imaging studies have demonstrated that hypnotic states are associated with global changes in brain functioning (Del Casale et al., 2012; Guldenmund, Vanhaudenhuyse, Boly, Laureys, & Soddu, 2012).
Historically, hypnosis has been viewed with some suspicion because of its portrayal in popular media and entertainment. Therefore, it is important to make a distinction between hypnosis as an empirically based therapeutic approach versus as a form of entertainment. Contrary to popular belief, individuals undergoing hypnosis usually have clear memories of the hypnotic experience and are in control of their own behaviors. While hypnosis may be useful in enhancing memory or a skill, such enhancements are very modest in nature (Raz, 2011).
Popular portrayals of hypnosis have led to some widely-held misconceptions.
The participant is guided to focus on one thing, such as the hypnotist's words or a ticking watch.
The participant is made comfortable and is directed to be relaxed and sleepy.
The participant is told to be open to the process of hypnosis, trust the hypnotist and let go.
The participant is encouraged to use his or her imagination.
These steps are conducive to being open to the heightened suggestibility of hypnosis.
People vary in terms of their ability to be hypnotized, but a review of available research suggests that most people are at least moderately hypnotizable (Kihlstrom, 2013). Hypnosis in conjunction with other techniques is used for a variety of therapeutic purposes and has shown to be at least somewhat effective for pain management, treatment of depression and anxiety, smoking cessation, and weight loss (Alladin, 2012; Elkins, Johnson, & Fisher, 2012; Golden, 2012; Montgomery, Schnur, & Kravits, 2012).
Some scientists are working to determine whether the power of suggestion can affect cognitive processes such as learning, with a view to using hypnosis in educational settings (Wark, 2011). Furthermore, there is some evidence that hypnosis can alter processes that were once thought to be automatic and outside the purview of voluntary control, such as reading (Lifshitz, Aubert Bonn, Fischer, Kashem, & Raz, 2013; Raz, Shapiro, Fan, & Posner, 2002). However, it should be noted that others have suggested that the automaticity of these processes remains intact (Augustinova & Ferrand, 2012).
How does hypnosis work? Two theories attempt to answer this question: One theory views hypnosis as dissociation and the other theory views it as the performance of a social role. According to the dissociation view, hypnosis is effectively a dissociated state of consciousness, much like our earlier example where you may drive to work, but you are only minimally aware of the process of driving because your attention is focused elsewhere. This theory is supported by Ernest Hilgard's research into hypnosis and pain. In Hilgard's experiments, he induced participants into a state of hypnosis, and placed their arms into ice water. Participants were told they would not feel pain, but they could press a button if they did; while they reported not feeling pain, they did, in fact, press the button, suggesting a dissociation of consciousness while in the hypnotic state (Hilgard & Hilgard, 1994).
Taking a different approach to explain hypnosis, the social-cognitive theory of hypnosis sees people in hypnotic states as performing the social role of a hypnotized person. As you will learn when you study social roles, people's behavior can be shaped by their expectations of how they should act in a given situation. Some view a hypnotized person's behavior not as an altered or dissociated state of consciousness, but as their fulfillment of the social expectations for that role.
Meditation is the act of focusing on a single target (such as the breath or a repeated sound) to increase awareness of the moment. While hypnosis is generally achieved through the interaction of a therapist and the person being treated, an individual can perform meditation alone. Often, however, people wishing to learn to meditate receive some training in techniques to achieve a meditative state. A meditative state, as shown by EEG recordings of newly-practicing meditators, is not an altered state of consciousness per se; however, patterns of brain waves exhibited by expert meditators may represent a unique state of consciousness (Fell, Axmacher, & Haupt, 2010).
Although there are a number of different techniques in use, the central feature of all meditation is clearing the mind in order to achieve a state of relaxed awareness and focus (Chen et al., 2013; Lang et al., 2012). Mindfulness meditation has recently become popular. In the variation of meditation, the meditator's attention is focused on some internal process or an external object (Zeidan, Grant, Brown, McHaffie, & Coghill, 2012).
Meditative techniques have their roots in religious practices, but their use has grown in popularity among practitioners of alternative medicine. Research indicates that meditation may help reduce blood pressure, and the American Heart Association suggests that meditation might be used in conjunction with more traditional treatments as a way to manage hypertension, although there is not sufficient data for a recommendation to be made (Brook et al., 2013). Like hypnosis, meditation also shows promise in stress management, sleep quality (Caldwell, Harrison, Adams, Quin, & Greeson, 2010), treatment of mood and anxiety disorders (Chen et al., 2013; Freeman et al., 2010; Vøllestad, Nielsen, & Nielsen, 2012), and pain management (Reiner, Tibi, & Lipsitz, 2013).

Flatbed leads owner-ops into year of rosy earnings expectations
Max Heine
Flatbedder clients of ATBS earned more than $18,000 in net income during the first three months of 2021.Max Heine
Owner-operators extended a financially strong 2020 into the first quarter, with net income promising a year that tops $65,000, based on ATBS client averages.
Flatbed haulers led the pack. If a March surge heralds an over-the-top construction season, their 2021 earnings might be well north of $70,000.
First quarter earnings were mostly down from the second half of 2020, but still largely higher than 2020's first half. One factor was that first-quarter miles were down, noted Todd Amen, president of ATBS, the nation's largest owner-op financial services firm.
"Drivers are making significantly more revenue per mile in this robust market. This means they will be more choosy on loads, run less to make similar or more net," he said. "They ran more miles last year, I think, out of fear and an uncertain future. People seem more confident this is going to be a good year, so owner-operators are likely back in a normal operating mode."
Earnings for most segments in the first quarter of 2021 declined below quarters in the second half of 2020, but were mostly ahead of first-half levels. First-quarter miles were lower than any quarter of 2020. ATBS president Todd Amen noted that following a chaotic year that ended with high freight demand, operators likely felt secure in running fewer miles in the new year.Combining all leased and independent operator clients of ATBS, average earnings for the first quarter were $16,481, or 67.7 cents per mile. At that pace, the year's average for the group would total almost $66,000.
While that's slightly below 2020 average annual income of $67,742, most economic indicators are showing strong prospects for this year that could take owner-op income higher. The tight trucking capacity that has been steadily pushing up rates for spot market freight and driver pay this year could easily continue if the pandemic continues to subside in the U.S.
Based on such performance and forecasts, Amen said, "I'd expect owner-operators to improve their net this year over an already great last year."
April freight data on trucking and other modes showed some record levels, reported Cass Information Systems.
"Even with considerable capacity constraints, the freight cycle is essentially in full swing as all components of the Cass indexes, with the exception of the Cass Shipments Index, posted new record highs again in April," said Cass. "With tailwinds from a strong retail economy, a backlog of container ships still anchored in the San Pedro Bay and inventories recovering but still tight, 2021 is setting up to be an extraordinarily strong year of recovery across the U.S. freight network."
Trends extending through April show "2021 is setting up to be an extraordinarily strong year of recovery across the U.S. freight network," says Cass Information Systems. Meanwhile, FTR's Trucking Conditions Index hit a record level for March. It should remain high "at least through the third quarter with the possibility of one or more record readings," said consulting firm FTR.Every segment tracked by ATBS showed monthly growth in miles over the January-March quarter. The all-segments average was 8,637 in March, 900 miles ahead of the prior month.
Flatbed demand came to life as miles surged from 6,175 in February to 7,712 in March. Seasonally adjusted rates for residential building permits and housing starts showed March activity well above February and year-ago rates, reported federal agencies. Other recent reports have noted rapidly rising prices on existing homes, partly because of a shortage of new housing.
Total construction spending showed only slight growth from February to March, said the U.S. Census Bureau. Non-residential demand has been dampened by shifts of office space to work from home, and brick-and-mortar retail to online shopping.
Flatbedders' extra miles boosted net income from $5,524 in February to $7,101 in March. If their first quarter's average net income of $18,412 holds, they are on track to earn $73,648 in 2021.
However, Amen said, "I'd expect this to slow down with the extreme inflationary costs of building materials." With some of those costs as much as tripling, "at some point this has to slow down construction."
Cass Information Systems says "the record low driver availability has perhaps played an even larger role in driving freight rates to record levels recently than the truck production challenges." Fleet executives polled by Cass cite these factors as restricting the driver pool: more retirements than new entrants, increased local trucking, stimulus payments weakening driver school attendance, the federal drug clearinghouse and "higher pay incentivizing vacation." (Green bars represent March data.)ACT Research Co.
Fuel prices increased faster than miles as the year began. Fuel cost per mile rose from 38 cents in January to 43 cents in March.
"Ultimately, fuel surcharge levels the playing field on this," Amen said. But during periods of increasing fuel prices, "it's a cash-flow drain because fuel at the pump goes up quicker than the fuel surcharges."

Although no cases of measles related to an outbreak in Washington state have been reported in B.C., the province's centre for disease control (BCCDC) is warning British Columbians about travelling to the affected communities. Clark County's immunization rate for school-aged children is 78 percent, and a large majority of these cases were in children who were not vaccinated.
There are another nine suspected cases.
A measles vaccine at Miami Children's Hospital on January 28, 2015. In recent years, however, the viral illness has popped up again from NY to California and sickened hundreds.
As of Monday there 35 confirmed cases in Clark County and one case in King County. The measles vaccine is 98 percent effective.
Cieslak said the incubation period for measles lasts about two weeks.
In 30 of the 34 confirmed cases, individuals were not immunized, health officials said. Rep. Paul Harris, who represents Clark County, says his bill in the House is aiming to get personal exemptions off the table only when it comes to the measles. People with measles can infect others before the onset of symptoms like fever and rash.
The measles is highly contagious and can be deadly if small kids get it.
"It's their lives on the line, honestly, if they're not vaccinated and something like this happens, then what am I going to do to save them?" The measles vaccine is available as a combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and is available from your local health unit, family doctor, and many pharmacists. Public health officials are focused for now on preventing more exposures. In two cases the infection was acquired during travel out of Canada (India and Philippines, respectively), and four from imported cases. In 2019, a single case of measles was reported by an adult traveller returning from the Philippines. "Anytime you fall below the 95 percent coverage level diseases can spread a lot more easily", Koenig said.
An Ireland bar full of Lynch supporters went nuts when they watched the SmackDown star win the contest. Lynch would pull herself into the ring to face off against Charlotte and eventually eliminate her.
Measles was eradicated in the USA after a safe and cheap vaccine was developed in 1963, but in recent years, outbreaks from NY to California have sickened hundreds. However, state laws allowing parents to opt out of mandatory vaccinations quickly began eroding those statistics, leading to outbreaks across the nation.
She also urges anyone who is concerned about measles to speak to a health care provider before coming into the office. They live in Camas, Washington, where at least one infected person spent time while contagious.

Q: Search strpos() with a Number Range PHP I want to search a rule, iptables, within a string that has a port blocked—and I want to show that port.
For example, the rule iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DROP; I'd like to be able to search by strpos the string tcp --dport 8080 -j DROP but with a range of numbers 1-65335 instead of 8080.
Please excuse my poor English.

A: Assuming each string is in fixed format like your example, you can search for the number then check if within range using preg_match() function
$str = 'iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 8080 -j DROP;';

preg_match('/\d+/', $str, $match); // search for matches
if ($match[0] >= 1 && $match[0] <= 65335) {
    echo "Valid number found on string";
}

Pattern /\d+/ searches for any digit, 1 to unlimited times
Notes:
1. Will cause undefined errors/warnings when no number found on string
2. May become inaccurate when more than 1 whole number found

JOSE MOURINHO is delighted that Chelsea executed their game plan to perfection against Manchester United, suggesting the Blues made their key players 'disappear'.
The west London outfit soaked up a lot of pressure from the visitors before providing the ultimate sucker punch when Eden Hazard scored the winner in the first half.
Chelsea's win ensured they are closing in on their first Premier League crown since 2010.
And Mourinho believes Chelsea produced a tactical masterclass.
"We need our points but if they come against teams in second or in third it helps us," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"Today we won three points and our direct opponent lost three points. We are focussed on us, we have six matches to play and we need eight points.
"The game was exactly the game we want. The only thing we couldn't do was to kill the game with a second goal.
"We were able to make their important players disappear. Nobody saw them. They were in our pockets.
"Football is talent but strategy is also important.
"Did it please you to win a game like that? "I love it."

Reflecting on The Last Dance
In a year that's often felt hopeless for New Jersey high school athletes, the Last Dance Tournament offered optimism. Thousands of players took part in an event that will be remembered for years to come. Whether it was three games, or three weeks, the high school baseball community found a piece of something that was lost. Players, coaches, parents and fans got to say goodbye to the season on their own terms.
Jersey Sports Zone presents a special Last Dance video essay:

We're half way thru our American Journey. To refresh your memory, Chewy sent us a bag of American Journey Salmon and Sweet Potato dog food. We agreed to try it for a month and give reports on what we thought of it.
Bailey and Lola agreed to be our testers and their report is short and sweet. They love this food!!
My report is more boring, but may be useful to anyone thinking of trying American Journey. I have only one complaint about this food. The small pieces which make it suitable for almost any size dog have presented us with a small problem.
If you have well mannered dogs that pick up a piece or two of kibble and chew it before swallowing, you have nothing to worry about. If you have dogs that act like wild creatures that haven't seen food for a month, grab a whole mouthful and try to swallow it to get another mouthful, beware of choking.
The first night I fed the girls American Journey, they both choked. Yes, I have wild animals with no dining manners. I accept responsibility. Rob and I each performed a Heimlich maneuver while the girls tried to grab more pieces to swallow. It was an interesting meal.
We do have a bumpy bowl to slow down anyone who eats too fast. We bought it for Sky who used to inhale his food, then vomit it back up minutes later. Now Mackey uses the bowl because she eats much too fast, then tries to steal some food from another dog. There are other ways to slow the girls and I chose to go that route. Instead of just handing them a bowl of kibble, I add a little topping, well mixed in, or a little fluid on the kibble. Both those additions slow them down and we've had no choking since the first night.
Like most of you, I'm obsessed with the output and all the stools have been perfect on this food. I've noticed no changes in coat, but then they're both so shaggy and the unusual weather has created plenty of dirt and mud for them to play in, so the coats aren't in the best form. Still they seem to be doing very well on the new diet.
Lola thinks this food is delicious.
Bailey is devising ways to get over the gate to where the food is stored so that she can have an extra helping.
If you want to give it a try, just contact Chewy. American journey also come in chicken, beef or lamb flavors and in large breed or puppy sizes. Maybe large breed would prevent the choking, hmmm.... next time.
Chewy sent us this bag of American Journey food at no cost to us in exchange for our honest reviews.
Jeff has been feeding Tank a salmon food, because Tank has terrible skin and coat problems, and just 2 weeks of it made a wonderful change in his condition. Quincy and Lily a/k/a Adventure Beagle both inhale food and then try to steal Tank's, so Jeff has bumpy bowls for those two bozos stored here (along with some at his house, of course). Watching them try to snork around the bumps is rather humorous. I hope this food helps your fur-kids' coats!
We've got vacuuming dogs here, too! But we haven't had choking...yet. Maybe the larger size might help.
Birthday memories for Samba, today.
Great review! It sounds like you'll be trying the larger kibble!
Glad they're enjoying it... and that you found a solution to the gobbling!

The Order of the Knights of Columbus (founded in 1882 by Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney) is a Catholic family, fraternal, and service organization. The Knights of Columbus have four Degrees which exemplify the Catholic virtues of Charity, Unity, Fraternity, and Patriotism.
Wappingers Council #1646, which was chartered in 1912, is aligned with is St. Mary's Parish, Wappingers Falls. It has provided charitable services for St. Mary's Church and school and other local organizations since its beginning, more than a hundred years ago. Some of our activities include providing scholarships for St Mary's students, donating food baskets for local families, sponsoring a Children's Christmas Party, maintaining the Monument for the Unborn in St Mary's Cemetery, providing financial assistance to seminarians, and supporting the St. Mary's Respect for Life Committee. Wappingers Council #1646 teams up with other councils in the Hudson Valley Chapter to do charitable work which is too big for one council. For example, we support Special Olympics, and have sent ill children to the Marian Shrine in Lourdes, France.
Wappingers Assembly #0770, which consists of 4th Degree Knights, is known for the Color Corps - the most visible Knights of Columbus. In addition to participating in the monthly Mass for the deceased members of our council, they represent the Knights of Columbus at numerous civic functions such as parades and memorial services. They assisted Popes when they visited the United Stated, and Color Corps from our Assembly stood guard over Mother Theresa's relics at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Locally, they stand guard at the wakes of deceased members, and annually serve a barbecue for veterans at Castle Point Veterans' Hospital.

WTA Moments: Dinara Safina's heart belongs to Madrid
WTA Moments looks at Dinara Safina's historic romp through the 2009 clay season, highlighted by her dominant title-run at the Mutua Madrid Open.
By Courtney Nguyen - WTA Insider
WTA Moments is a video series highlighting key historic milestones at the tour's biggest events. In this installment, WTA Moments: Madrid looks at Dinara Safina's momentous 2009 clay season, when she tallied the biggest title of her career at the Mutua Madrid Open.
Dinara Safina's 2009 clay season was one for the record books. The Russian ascended to No.1 after the Miami Open that season, and consolidated her top spot with a historic run through the clay, which included the biggest title of her career at the Mutua Madrid Open.
The Russian remains the only woman to make the final of the four biggest European clay events in a single season. Playing her first tournament as a World No.1, Safina advanced to the final of the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix before running off 16 consecutive wins with back-to-back title runs at the Internazionali BNL d'Italia and the Madrid Open, before making her second straight Roland Garros final.
WTA Moments: Dinara Safina's title to retirement in Madrid
Having avenged her Stuttgart final loss to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the final in Rome, Safina lost just one set en route to the title in Madrid a week later, defeating an 18-year-old Caroline Wozniacki 6-2, 6-4 to win her second WTA title in eight days.
"Since I became No.1, I'm playing better and better," Safina said after the final. "I was feeling very comfortable from the start of the match and I was trying to be as aggressive as I could. But even in the key moments I was very strong.''
Safina's 2009 Clay Season: 20-2
Stuttgart:
d. Errani, 6-0, 6-1
d. Hantuchova, 6-4, 6-2
d. Radwanska, 6-4, 6-2

l. Kuznetsova, 6-4, 6-3
d. Razzano, 7-6, 6-1
d. Zheng, 5-7, 6-1, 7-6
d. Martinez Sanchez, 4-6, 6-3, 6-0
d. V. Williams, 6-3, 7-6, 6-4
d. Kuznetsova, 6-3, 6-2

Dinara Safina compiled a 20-2 record over the 2009 European Clay Court season.
In a season that saw her make two major finals at the Australian Open and Roland Garros, make 8 finals, and capture the last three titles of her career, Madrid remained the highlight for the heavy-hitting Russian. Having trained in Valencia, Spain as a youngster, winning in the Spanish capital was just as meaningful as winning in Moscow.
"The whole 2009, especially the clay court season, was a very special moment for me," Safina said. "Coming to Madrid, being No.1 in the world, and playing almost in front of my home crowd - because I grew up in Spain - there will always be a Spanish side in my heart."
Dinara Safina poses with WTA CEO Stacey Allaster and Manolo Santana at the 2014 Mutua Madrid Open.
After enjoying the best season of her career in 2009, Safina's career succumbed to injury. She would play the final match of her career in Madrid in 2011, losing in three sets to Julia Goerges. When it came time three years later to officially hang up her racquet and say goodbye, Safina found her closure in Madrid once again.
"Again, it's Spain," Safina said. "I think that country gave me so much so there was no other country that I could think to say goodbye.
"There was no other place than Madrid."

Water is the natural element of fish and seafood. In order to keep them fresh and tasty for a long period after being caught, specialties from Budenheim are used as stabilisers. These products ensure that seafood and other salt or freshwater specialties remain tender and succulent all the way to the dining table, whilst preserving their natural nutrients throughout.


Then what constitutes disaster? For starters, it must be an event of negative or unfavorable outcome. From a scholarly perspective, disaster must be personal or societal and can be civil or natural. Within each type there exists a sub-type. In the example of natural disaster, flooding from a slow rise on the Mississippi River will cause much different pre and post disaster reaction than a flash flood. Though definitions still vary, Enrico Quarentelli simply offers that disaster is a disorganizing event. A basic disruption of one's social context or homeostasis may constitute a disaster. This certainly could include weather or climate events but also a death in the family or loss of employment. As society we accept these as life events, but should be considered disasters no less thus constituting a means for reconstruction.
With a broad definition established, disaster next must be classified so that studies can be focused. People DO NOT view threats, respond to stress, or recover from loss in the same way.
Especially when a threat originates from an external source, such as nature, people DO NOT view threats differently. Some prepare while others take no action.
During disaster, (most) people DO NOT become frantic and helpless–contrary to what is popularly believed and sometimes depicted in media. Some, like the Cajun Navy, respond with power and offer assistance to those suffering from disruption.
After disaster, recovery is disproportionate. Economic status, race and gender have all been linked to the process. If you want to take the deep dive into this subject matter, have a look at the work done by Walter Peacock after Hurricane Andrew.
Have a topic idea? Interested in contributing to thewxsocial.com? Reach out to us on Facebook or Twitter!
The effects of disaster are not simply physical or structural. Mental health, post-traumatic stress disorder, is a prominent area of study in the recovery phase of disaster. Considering the variables mentioned previously, scholarly work has found that the same disaster would cause much greater mental anguish in youths from poor economies affected by violence than adults from stronger economies.
In some cases, "heroes and villains" may emerge before, during and after disaster. People and victims may attribute blame to some and praise to others. In civil conflict, the two sides are clear. The line blurs with natural disasters. Consider Hurricane Katrina; FEMA, the local police, residents who shot looters, even weather forecasters—were these people heroes or villains? The answer may be in the eye of the beholder.
Amidst all of this we must also consider how societal interactions with the environment are creating disaster. People are now flocking to disaster prone areas like the coast—ever more perilous due to rising sea levels induced by global warming. Thus, having definitions and classifications of disaster, along with an understanding of the sociological influences, provides more information for policymakers responsible for the dispersal of aid. Speaking of money, are we even properly considering all disasters? What about extreme heat? Insurers are much more concerned with millions in property damage after a hurricane than a few hundred human deaths related to extreme temperatures.
Our thewxsocial.com community and many across the field can attest meteorology and the social sciences are becoming more and more integrated every day. Indeed, we seem to be in the "socio-meteorological" era. Brilliant research in this space will continue. However, the disaster literature highlights clear need for scholars to consider many niche areas. For instance, just last month, Matt Bolton examined weather messaging considerations for those with autism.
Data mongers, research meteorologists often aim for a broad look at disaster. Statisticians will have us believe that one-thousand entries offer more insight than one-hundred. Contrarily though, it seems that narrowing focus may tell much more about those most adversely affected by disaster. For example, the field is currently fishing for more information about evacuation decisions of coastal residents before a hurricane. Including people up and down the East Coast would offer a large amount of data and useful insights. However, the wide-net cast by those geographical bounds might also catch many evacuees that had the proper means and mindset to make the desired decision to leave. On the other hand, dropping a smaller line and examining full-time elderly residents of North Carolina's Outer Banks would provide far less, but perhaps more satiating data about those who likely need more assistance in getting and acting on a message. What groups are most vulnerable to high impact weather? Who aren't we reaching and why? How can we identify these individuals first, and then bridge that gap?
Our field has the right mindset, and is poised to continue the big improvements to weather communication. But this transition to what I call the "socio-meteorological" era suggests that to achieve big, maybe we need to aim a little smaller.
What do you think? How can research efforts continue to support the integration of weather and social sciences?

The Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder (SSMIS) is a conically scanning passive microwave radiometer with a 53.1 degree Earth incidence angle sensing upwelling microwave radiation at 24 channels covering a wide range of frequencies from 19 - 183 GHz. The Level 1C dataset contains only 11 of these channels, which are most relevant to sensing precipitation. Data is collected along an active scan of 144 degrees across track producing a swath width on the ground of 1707 km. The first of five sensors was launched on board DMSP F16 on October 18, 2003. The SSMIS is a joint US Air Force/Navy multi-channel passive microwave sensor that combines and extends the imaging and sounding capabilities of three seperate DMSP microwave sensors including the SSM/T, SSM/T2, and SSM/I. It was built by Northrup-Grumman Electronic Systems.
Rainfall estimates are currently available from SSMIS F16 for the period from November 20, 2005 through the present. There are currently no plans to extend this time series back to launch as the brightness temperature data prior to November 20, 2005 is not publically available.

Miriam Toews: Violence of Pacifism • by Maxwell Kennel • 2
Secular Mennonites and the Violence of Pacifism
by Maxwell Kennel
Toews' novel dramatizes and responds to a crisis of sexual violence in a Bolivian Mennonite colony between 2005 and 2009 when men used animal anesthetic to subdue and rape colony women.2 Toews' introductory note to the novel suggests, however, that this violence may continue in this colony and others. Through the male narrator, August Epp, the novel dramatizes and recounts in literary form the minutes of meetings held by women who are trying to decide whether to leave the colony.
Below – in a way that I hope is in keeping with the peaceful and non-imposing disposition of Epp – I will narrate the McMaster event with reference to my notes and the transcripts provided to me by the three commentators (unattributed quotations are from the transcripts, and errors and misattributions remain my own). At the end I conclude with a brief reflection on the complex figure of the secular Mennonite in the drama of community violence.
THE VIOLENCE IN PACIFISM
Following introductions, Grace Kehler began the event by addressing Miriam Toews, saying "I've been fascinated for many years by how your writing bears witness to the covert and explicit forms of violence that take place in purportedly non-violent settings and institutions: medicine and Mennonite community." Kehler referred to Toews' work as a kind of "public mourning and critique that refuses to lose sight of stories that are difficult to hear." Kehler expressed admiration for how Toews' novels address what Leigh Gilmore calls "historical and intimate trauma," and what Arjun Appadurai calls an "ethics of possibility,"3 and she compared Women Talking with the controversial and highly acclaimed work of Rudy Wiebe in Peace Shall Destroy Many.4 For Kehler, these two novels similarly attend to "the violence that haunts purportedly pacifist Mennonite communities—and, in fact, to the violence of pacifism."5

My interest in e-books and their role in e-learning has stayed high, both for unexpected reasons and because of further news.
Interviewed in The Guardian, John Makinson, Penguin's chief executive, told us that what matters is that people read, not how they choose to do it. Penguin is part of Pearson, a company dominated by educational publishing. Makinson thinks 'the very definition of a book is up for grabs'. Penguin has just published a version of Ken Follett's The Pillars of the Earth for the iPad (in the US) with embedded scenes from the TV adaptation, plus excerpts from the soundtrack and Follett's video diary that he kept when making the TV.
The same day, The Guardian reported that Amazon UK had brought out a new version of the Kindle e-book reader, to hold as many as 3,500 books. Amazon UK now also has an e-book store with 400,000 titles for the Kindle.
Learning technologists cannot simply ignore this kind of news, even if their academic colleagues in faculties and departments are slow to respond to it! BDRA's DUCKLING project showed that an early model e-book reader probably had too many disadvantages to be popular among academics and students, but, like all new technology, readers will improve – and already have.
I was surprised last week by a technophobe I know well. Her very excited response was to an e-book on the iPad. Her excitement was not just because the screen was clear, the font could be enlarged, the pages were easy to turn, or the iPad could hold thousands of books. It was because she has become allergic to book dust and cannot read paper books for long because of that. She saw the iPad as opening up boundless new opportunities for dustless reading.
Doubtless somebody somewhere is considering doing research on how e-book readers can compensate for learners' disabilities of one kind or another. That could be a new field for BDRA.
Last weekend I was able to spend 30 minutes with a brand-new Apple iPad. Unlike Stephen Fry and Charlie Brooker, I wasn't asked to offer my opinion of it. Here, I shall be brief.
Frankly, I was impressed. I don't have an iPhone or an iTouch, but I've been a Mac user for a long time. I was impressed because I thought I could see the iPad's potential in higher education, both on campus and at a distance.
For example, the iPad I looked at had several formats of e-book on it. Probably all would be valuable to any learner willing and able to read onscreen. Some may well prove to be better than others for studying, but the iPad was carrying them all. Versatile.
Combine e-books with email, full and fast internet access, wordprocessing, spreadsheets, social networking and thousands (yes, thousands) of other applications, and an iPad could transform your life as a student. Multi-tasking should be easy.
BDRA will evaluate and exploit the iPad's potential for e-learning, I'm sure. At the current prices, it won't be in the hands of most of the university's students for quite a while, if ever, therefore it won't be a 'standard vehicle' for the university's teaching. But it might offer great advantages, particularly if provided to distance learners on certain courses. Drawbacks? Yep, there are some, but I didn't have it long enough to comment on those. Mobile phone? CD/DVD drive? Broadband essential?
The iPad is seductive, without doubt. Will it help teachers and learners to understand and cope with climate change, flood, famine and other great threats to our civilisation? Maybe.


A common difficulty witnessed by disability lawyers in Orlando, FL is the frustration experienced by disabled clients who very much want to work but have trouble finding employment suitable to their physical limitations. Earning disability benefits does not restrict a person to only one income source. It is both acceptable and recommended for people with disabilities to complete at last part-time employment to supplement their existing benefits. Staying independently employed is financially useful while also improving the emotional and mental stability of people who often struggle with fatigue and depression as a result of physical disabilities.
Unfortunately, finding suitable employment in today's economy can be difficult, worse still when physical disabilities prevent you from most jobs that require standing, lifting, or strenuous movement. Talk to a disability attorney in Orlando about any of these possible careers considered most suitable for people with physical disabilities.
Financial institutions are one of the leading employers of workers with disabilities. Accounting, finance management, analysis, and consulting are all high demand fields that require very little physical exertion. Furthermore, many of these jobs can be performed with flexible working hours that will not interfere with any necessary therapy or doctor's treatments.
Pharmaceutical companies have shown a growing trend in hiring employees with disabilities for both sales and pharmacy technicians. Again, these jobs are some that require very little physical exertion, and a firsthand familiarity with the medical field gives workers with disabilities a unique advantage. Constant record keeping and medical transcription are also highly in demand in the medical field.
It is no surprise that many who succeed in creating independent and financially stable careers despite physical disabilities later wish to share the knowledge they have gained. Physically disabled adults are often stressed by the confusion of doctor's visits, medications, insurance paperwork, and hiring disability lawyers in Orlando, FL. Counseling helps provide resources, support, and advice the ease of burden of living with a disability.
Many call center companies provide excellent insurance benefits and are more than willing to provide specialized seating and other amenities for employees in need. Some employers even offer work-from-home settings that provide added convenience for workers whose disabilities make it difficult to leave the house.
As the assistant position, such as paralegal or doctor's aid, would mostly be responsible for data entry and other clerical duties that require very little physical work. Some of these jobs require only a 2-year degree or an easily obtainable certification. Disability lawyers in Orlando, FL are often pleased to employ assistants with firsthand experience in order to better serve their clients.
The increased demand for computer programming and coding has created employment opportunities for a variety of skill levels across the globe. Coding can be learned quickly through numerous training programs often provided by employers themselves. Living in the fast-growing digital era means that computer jobs are widely available with opportunities to work from home with very little inconvenience.

(Having merry times in the Maritimes.
Hello. How are you? Keeping well I hope. So, we've been back from tour for a week or so. All in all, it was a great summer. Thanks to everyone that helped us out along the way. We ate a lot of burritos (good) and blew up a lot of gear (bad), so we are poor but artistically and gastronomically satisfied.
mon 29.11 DAY OFF! FUUUCK YOUUU!
Thank you. And again, I hope this finds you well, in spirit and mind. Hey, read a William T.Vollman book, will you?
Do it or ugly kid dies.
What time do you guys go on at the Horseshoe?
I'd say 11:30 or later, we're 3rd of 4. But Red Mass (ex-CPC Gangbangs) is right before us and they rule.
Sounds good. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Awesome. Is that show in Buffalo 11/01? I'd be pissed if I missed a Burning Love show here. Haha.
Yo CC, Do you have any of those Reaper Burning Love posters left? I ordered one from Out Of Print and had to pay $62 to get it shipped to the UK,but it appears to have been lost in the post. I'll definitely buy one if you're still selling them at the UK shows.
Oh my God! You're in London on 6th! Amazing, but as with Manchester, I'll only be able to make it, if you start your set around 23:00 or later. Blame Weird Al Yankovic and his insistance on planning his tour dates the same as your's in England.

NC Remains a Leader in Numbers of National Board Certified Teachers
North Carolina continues to lead the nation with teachers who hold certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards after 710 additional teachers earned the well-regarded credential this month.
In all, 22,653 teachers in North Carolina now have achieved the respected national certification, which is based on a rigorous performance-based assessment that typically takes from one to three years to complete and measures what accomplished teachers and counselors should know and be able to do.
Nationally, 3,831 teachers earned the certification in 2018-19, raising the total among all states to nearly 126,000. In addition, almost 4,783 teachers nationally achieved recertification, including 1,421 board-certified teachers in North Carolina.
North Carolina Superintendent Mark Johnson said students gain from teachers who earn national certification, a demanding process that helps them become more effective in the classroom by meeting high standards for the profession.
"Congratulation to all of the teachers who have earned this certification," Johnson said.
"It is outstanding for North Carolina to be the leader in nationally certified teachers."
North Carolina accounts for nearly one-fifth (18 percent) of all teachers nationally who are certified by the teaching standards organization. Florida ranks second with 13,552 (11 percent of national total) followed by Washington (11,368) South Carolina (9,226) and California (7,329).
Nationally certified teachers also account for a larger percentage of the total teaching force in North Carolina than any other state, with more than one of every five having earned the credential.
North Carolina school districts also continue to rank among the top 30 districts nationwide for numbers of teachers with national certification, with six: Wake County remained first with 2,921; Charlotte-Mecklenburg is fourth with 2,241; Guilford County is 10th with 738; Buncombe County is 18th with 601; Winston-Salem/Forsyth is 19th with 588; and New Hanover County is 25th with 530.
In addition, nine North Carolina colleges and universities continue to hold top ranks among the 50 higher education institutions nationwide with the most alumni holding the national credential, with five of the North Carolina institutions in the top 10. Appalachian State University was first with 2,057, East Carolina University, second with 2,042; the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, fourth with 1,362; the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, sixth with 1,334; the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, seventh with 1,198; North Carolina State University, 15th with 907; Western Carolina University, 19th with 874; the University of North Carolina at Wilmington, 21st with 837; and Meredith College, tied for 42nd with 451.
Teachers in North Carolina who achieve certification receive a 12 percent salary supplement to their regular pay. They also are awarded eight continuing education credits (CEUs).
North Carolina supports teachers pursuing national certification by providing low-interest loans to pay the $1,900 assessment fee and three paid release days from normal teaching duties for new candidates to develop their portfolios. Also, the State Board of Education awards a North Carolina teaching license to out-of-state teachers who are employed in North Carolina and who possess the national certification.
Certification by the National Board is the highest credential in the teaching profession, and participation is voluntary. As a part of the certification process, candidates build a portfolio that includes student work samples, assignments, videotapes and a thorough analysis of their classroom teaching. Certification is currently available to educators in 25 fields.
Additional information about the national certification is available online.

Microsoft Excel always amazed me, it reminds me of how different small pieces can be joined in certain way to create a statement.
And since the start, I always wanted and loved to find new functions or function-combinations (as I would like to call formulas) that will add to the logic to get the last solution to what we are facing.
I learned that whatever the question is, or the challenge or the task.


Thisrundown of major mission events for NASA?s Phoenix Mars Lander is a detailedevents schedule for the spacecraft?s planned landing in the Martian arctic onMay 25, 2008.
Suppliedby NASA, the schedule below includes a minute-by-minute account of theanticipated steps the spacecraft must take beforetouching down on the surface of Mars.
ThestationaryPhoenix lander launched in August 2007 on a $420 million mission to the VastitasBorealis region of Mars, where the probe is expected to dig for Martian ice anddetermine if the area could have once supported microbial life.
Unlessotherwise noted, the location for news briefings and commentary are NASA's JetPropulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., andwill be broadcast live on NASA TV.
-- Newsbriefing, 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
NOTE: The times below for the Phoenix spacecraft events on May 25 arefor a nominal scenario. Remaining navigational adjustments before May 25 couldshift the times by up to about half a minute. In addition, the times for someevents relative to others could vary by several seconds due to variations inthe Martian atmosphere and other factors. For some events, a "give ortake" range of times is given, covering 99 percent of possible scenariosfrom the atmospheric entry time. For events at Mars, times are listed in"Earth-receive time" (ERT) rather than "spacecraft eventtime" (SCET). This means the listed time incorporates the intervalnecessary for radio signals traveling at the speed of light to reach Earth fromMars. On landing day, May 25, the two planets are 171 million miles apart (275million kilometers), which means it takes the signal 15 minutes and 20 secondsto reach Earth. For some spacecraft events, engineers will not receiveimmediate radio confirmation.
-- Trajectorycorrection maneuver opportunity (TCM6X), 8:46 a.m.
-- Begin"bent-pipe" relay (continuous transmission of Phoenix data as itis received) through NASA's Mars Odyssey spacecraft to Goldstone, Calif., DeepSpace Network station, 4:38 p.m.
-- Green Bank, W. Va., radio telescope listening for direct UHF from Phoenix,4:38 p.m.
-- Spacecraftenters atmosphere, 4:46:33 p.m.
-- Likely blackout period as hot plasma surrounds spacecraft, 4:47 through 4:49p.m.
-- Legs deploy, 4:50:40 p.m., plus or minus about 13 seconds.
-- Lander separates from backshell, 4:53:09 p.m., plus or minus about 46seconds.
-- Constant-velocity phase starts, 4:53:34 p.m., plus or minus about 46seconds.
-- Begin NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter playback of Phoenix transmissionsrecorded during entry, descent and landing, 5:28 p.m. However, data foranalysis will not be ready until several hours later.
-- Begin Europe's Mars Express spacecraft playback of Phoenix transmissionsrecorded during entry, descent and landing, 5:30 p.m. However, data for analysiswill not be ready until several hours later.
-- Mars Odyssey "bent-pipe" relay of transmission from Phoenix, withengineering data and possibly including first images, 6:43 to 7:02 p.m. Datacould take up to about 30 additional minutes in pipeline before beingaccessible. If all goes well, live television feed from control room may showfirst images as they are received. The first images to be taken after landingwill be of solar arrays, to check deployment status.
Dailynews briefings at 11 a.m.
-- If operations proceed relatively smoothly, the first eight to 10 days afterlanding will be a "characterization phase" of checking out andunderstanding the performance of the spacecraft's power and thermal systems, aswell as the robotic arm and other instruments.
-- At the end of the characterization phase (date TBA), the first sample ofsurface soil will be delivered to the Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer onboardPhoenix.
-- Analysis of soil from the surface in both the Thermal and Evolved-GasAnalyzer and in the Microscopy, Electrochemistry and Conductivity Analyzer willlikely take 10 to 15 days if all processes go well. After that, each additionalsampling cycle will reach a deeper subsurface level, in increments of about twoto three centimeters. At each different layer, collecting and analyzing samplesis expected to take 10 to 15 days, barring operational difficulties.
-- How soon the digging reaches the expected icy layer will depend on how farbelow the surface that layer lies. Estimates in advance of landing range fromtwo to five centimeters. If the ice is at the deeper end of that range, thefirst analysis of an icy sample could be in July or later.

Unter Pseudoquadrofonie wird die scheinbar plastische Wiedergabe einer ursprünglichen  Stereoaufnahme verstanden. Tontechniker der Unterhaltungs- und Musikindustrie versuchten Mitte der 1970er Jahre auf elektronischem Wege, eine Stereoaufnahme so zu bearbeiten, dass sich bei der Tonwiedergabe ein quadrofonieartiger Effekt ergibt, ohne jedoch echte Quadroinformation zu haben. Durch getrennte Filterung im linken und rechten hinteren Raumkanal, Laufzeitverzögerung und künstlicher Nachhallzugabe werden zur Stereofonie vorne die beiden zusätzlichen Signale für die hinteren Lautsprecher künstlich als Quadro-Effekt erzeugt.
