Q: Top margin, memoir class and geometry package I'm trying to set a very basic front page for a document with the MWE below. I'd like to have a vertical stripe running along the left margin and have all the margins set to 0pt. The layout is based on the memoir class and the page layout resorts to the geometry package. My problems are (1) that I haven't been able to set the top margin effectively to 0pt -- not even with the commented memoir class commands in the MWE below --, and (2) that the page "overflows" to a verso page -- I believe this is related to setting the minipage environment to the text height and having that undesired non-zero top margin.
In the MWE I have loaded some packages that I do not really use here, but I don't think they have anything to do with the problem I'm facing. Any ideas on how to get a "real" 0pt top margin?
EDIT: This is just one of the approaches I've tried to this getting this layout done, but none of the other worked either (e.g., those that included using the adjustbox package).

When Melissa contacted me about doing a family session in and around their home I was SO in. I've always wanted to shoot clients in their niche. People are real and comfortable and passionate in their real lives. Why not shoot them there? But I wasn't sure how to market it. "Hey! Let a complete stranger into your personal life to document your raw beauty and everyday mundane and messy tears. You won't regret it. . . I promise?". Could I say that? Could I deliver that? I believe that, but how to tell people? Then Melissa contacts me and brings it up. Hallelujah!
Possibly my favorite family portrait to date. The connection between a child and it's parents is so precious. You guys are great! Thank you for letting me into your sanctuary -- your home, and trusting me to help preserve your memories.

We're not sabotaging Spio Garbrah – MP
Ahmed Ibrahim, MP for Banda
Member of Parliament for Banda in the Brong Ahafo Region, Ahmed Ibrahim, says it would be wrong for anyone to think that parliamentarians opposed to the ban placed on the exportation of cashew nuts from the country, are only seeking to sabotage the Trade Minister, Dr. Ekow Spio Garbrah.
The Ministry placed the ban on cashew exports in a bid to improve local processing of the crop, as part of efforts to boost job creation and deepen Ghana's value addition agenda.
But some MPs from both the Majority and Minority side kicked against the directive, describing it as baseless. They further accused the sector Minister, Ekow Spio Grabrah of unlawful conduct over the export ban.
But speaking on Eyewitness News, Mr. Ibrahim said they were only concerned because people's livelihood were being threatened by the directive, which could have also affected the same local industry that the directive sought to protect.
"Anyone who will say that we are working to discourage the interest of Spio -Garbrah may be getting it wrong. Don't forget that for the past years Dr. Ekow Spio- Garbrah has been the Minister for Trade and Industry, all his budget are being considered by Parliament of Ghana. All his assistance and all his activities are being engineered by the committee of Trade and Industry. Every assistance that he needs from us has been given to him… ,"he argued.
Gov't must pay attention to cashew
The MP said it was high time government paid attention to the cashew nut industry just like it does for the cocoa sector through the Ghana Cocobod.
He said Mr. Spio Garbrah, who's also a cashew farmer, attests to the fact that the crop was not yielding the best for farmers, and thus wondered why he would allow such a directive that had the propensity to discourage the farmers.
According to him, frustrated farmers had threatened to cut down their cashew trees to go into cocoa farming following the directive.
Dividends from cashew importation
The cashew industry generated 170 million dollars in the form of foreign exchange earnings for the economy in 2013.
Mr Justice Samuel Adjei, Deputy Brong-Ahafo Regional Minister who made this known in Sunyani at a closing session of a five-day master training programme for stakeholders in the cashew sector in 2014, said the industry is the largest contributor to non-traditional export.
Ban withdrawn
Meanwhile the Trade Ministry has in statement announced a withdrawal of the directive.
A statement signed by Dr. Spio-Garbrah said despite "withdrawing the directive," his outfit "is taking steps to ensure that the development of the cashew industry is accomplished through a comprehensive and inclusive process."
He said the Ministry will widen its consultations with stakeholders in order to ensure that the cashew industry becomes competitive in a broad-based manner that would lead to job creation and the general well-being of all stakeholders.

When I first read about the woman who had eight babies, and I immediately assumed via in-vitro fertilization, my first reaction was that was insane. But when I stepped back, I tried to be sympathetic, thinking perhaps she cried herself to sleep for years wanting a baby so much. I know women who were in that situation, and I support their wanting to have a baby by whatever methods they chose.
With my 20-year high school reunion coming up, I am wondering who has been doing what. Fortunately, some of the reunion organizers created a web page that allows us to enter info about ourselves, family, job, favorite high school memory, etc. (this is my equivalent of Facebook!). I find myself checking this site every day just to see who has posted what. A few of us have this shared memory that involves leaving a dead grouse on the lawn of our biggest football rival. I am still trying to remember everyone who was in the car and who was the one who almost got ran over (two people insist it was me, which seems believable given my coordination). Another classmate was reminiscing about the time I had about 10 people over drinking what we should not have been and my parents came home a day early. Good times.
Just over one week to go. Can you believe the Steelers are going back to the big dance, after only three years?
As I have said at least three times, there is no better place to be right now than the Burgh. If you need any more proof, check out the PG's website forum entitled "Coming to Pittsburgh for the Super Bowl."
I am surprised at the number of people traveling from places as far away as California, Seattle, Texas, and even Florida, where the Super Bowl is going to be, just to be with other Pittsburghers for the game. Since I have a five-year old and I am not a fan of crowded bars anymore, I won't be going anywhere for the game; I will stay right here and watch it in the comfort of my home, on my 42" HD, flat-screen TV, glad that I can pause and rewatch any play thanks to the DVR. Part of me would love to go somewhere just to be a part of all the camaraderie; if we win, the city will be crazy.
But, alas, two of them made it into Jordan's head this afternoon, following an incident for which the details are nebulous.
Typically on Wednesdays, my day off, Jordan watches TV while I take a nice, long shower. This morning she was playing with her dolls in her room, so I let that continue, against my better judgement as she was getting frustrated trying to turn a mat into hammock. When I had finished and was putting on my various creams and lotions, she told me that she figured out how to make a hammock in the living room. Had I been clothed, perhaps I would have followed her, to see how she proposed to do this. But just a minute or two later, she was crying, saying she hit her head.
Jordan gets hurt. A lot. Sadly, she has my coordination and grace (I have none and little). I hugged her as she was crying, but did not think much of it. Brian, who was home, thank God, happened to notice the back of her hair was wet, and discovered she was bleeding. Then I got scared.
Props to the Yinzer Yap-line caller who left the quote of the day with the the folks at ESPN Radio 1250: "I don't care who wins the Super Bowl, so long as they don't have a bird emblem on their helmet."
I was more worried about the San Diego game than I am about the upcoming game against the Ravens. Why? Just when you least expect, the better team loses, often taking a lesser team for granted. This happens more often than not. Otherwise, some of the players on my fantasy football team would have scored tons of points pretty much every week (I had some top-notch guys).
I tweaked my ankle, but I'll be ready by kickoff!
I either tripped on or missed the last step yesterday morning before going to work. I immediately cried out in pain and fell to the floor. Jordan's reaction? "Daddy better take me to school." It reminded me of when Brian and I were playing (and I use that term loosely for me) tennis on the 4th of July back in '99. I simply stepped funny on my ankle, yet it swelled up to the size of a grapefruit, and I was on crutches and in a soft ankle cast for a few weeks.
Even though I have little tolerance for pain, I like to think I am tough, plus I hate medication or seeking treatment, so I decided to soldier on. Unfortunately, walking around the South Side for lunch and not putting ice on my ankle until about 4 p.m. yesterday did nothing to help it (neither did Mike spilling half a Dr. Pepper on me, for that matter). Currently, my ankle has swelled to perhaps only the size of a plum, and it hurts just mildly. But as my post title suggests, I will be fine by kickoff tomorrow.
Now that it is January and the school year is half over (I think), I am starting to worry about Jordan not yet reading. She recognizes the 20 words in her the first sight word list and probably another dozen or so, but I just thought she would be reading most of the words in some simple books by now.
I clearly am not some type of overachieving parent. I have no expectations for my child to be at the top of her class; I will be happy if she makes A's and Bs. Brian said as long as she tries, that is important. I mostly agree with that, but I will be disappointed if she does try hard and she ends up making mostly Cs. I'd like to think since I made mostly A's from 5th grade on, and I tried, surely she can make B's and A's if she tries; it is not as if I was some brainiac, though, to be fair, I think school was easier back then, and I don't think my alma mater was that tremendous.
At the beginning of 2008, as anyone who read this blog knows, I was irritated about the drink tax. It seemed unnecessary to me, and I took issue with the Port Authority getting this money. But after a few months, I just got over it. A big part of the reason is, I don't go out that often or drink that much (at least not since the office holiday party in 2007). So I am figuring this tax probably cost me and Brian between $15 and $25 this year, a rather paltry amount when you think about it. That notwithstanding, now that the tax has been lowered to 7 percent, does anyone really think that many businesses are going to lower their prices? Show of hands? I think I see one, although she might have been fixing hair.
Today we took down our past-its-prime Christmas tree. I normally like to keep it up the weekend after New Year's Day, but it was looking pretty pathetic, and it was my last weekday off, so I figured I might as well get it done. Besides, with live Christmas trees (at least in our house), we will be discovering needles probably through the middle of February, so the season will keep going!

Q: min() on collections.defaultdict() returns max count When using min() on a defaultdict object, it strangely returns the maximum if used on a dict counting indices of a string.
For example:
>>> import collections
>>> defaultdict=collections.defaultdict
>>> x=defaultdict(int)
>>> string="lol I am a lol noob"
>>> for k in string:
    x[k]+=1

>>> x
defaultdict(<type 'int'>, {'a': 2, ' ': 5, 'b': 1, 'I': 1, 'm': 1, 'l': 4, 'o': 4, 'n': 1})
>>> min(x.items())
(' ', 5)

A: items() returns the items as (key, value) tuples.  This means that when they are compared by min (or by anything else), they are compared first by key and then by value.  Since ' ' is the "minimum" string (i.e., ' ' < 'a', ' ' < 'b', etc.), that is what is returned.
You need to tell min to use the second item of the tuple as the comparison key.  Do min(x.items(), key=lambda a: a[1]).


The file provided by the Board of Elections is a list of individual voters. Communication by cell phone and email is to individuals.
we want the lists to be to households.
Our data allows for you to identify which voters share a household. We can run those lists for you.
Prime New York will never break your confidence.
We will never store or sell private data files.
Prime New York is yours.
Prime New York can design, print and mail your campaign materials.
We can help you craft your message or take the messages you've created and get them to voters.
We work with all the nationally known and local consultants to provide data and services.
a crew together to collect information from the New York City Board of Elections. We set out to identify which voters actually participated in Primaries, specifically Democratic Primaries since in New York City, the winner of the Primary generally won the November Election. The crew was paid $12.00/hour back then. Future Chef Ben Umayam and Pioneer Gamer Billy Thibou led the effort.
We gathered information first by marking computer sheets and typing them in to terminals and later with bar code readers. We stored data on mag tapes in air conditioned facilities. The tapes were moved by robot arms to computers. The original Board of Elections "buff cards" had identifiers like height and eye color. It was always clear in New York State that you are not required to carry ID when you vote.
We used programs designed by Voter Contact Services in Honolulu HI. In the earliest days, we offered only labels or printouts that were delivered nightly from Hawaii like pineapples. There were walk lists, Cheshire Labels, gummed labels, leader lists and very sophisticated products.
We evolved from faxing orders over the phone to using a bulletin board, running orders over a 2400 baud dial up modem, also over a phone when you had to pay long distance charges. Our phone bill to dial in to Hawaii was practically the same as our shipping bill to receive paper from Hawaii.
The state of technology changed. It's very different today. Eventually, the Board of Elections moved their records to computers. They made that data available to campaigns, only the basic information about voters.
When Prime New York picks up CDs, we enhance them much as we did thirty years ago. We add phone numbers, we use cleanup technology and household the information for mailing.
We match for mobile phone numbers, demographic information including income, presence of children, ethnicity, and language.
Understanding data is much the same. Diminishing universes to make contact affordable is one thing we do. Knowing who will receive your messages and be motivated to vote is something else we know about. Prime New York's Data is clean, up to date, and affordable. We don't leave you hanging and guessing. We help you figure it out.

Dancing Through the Decades
When Linda Copp arrived in Lebanon in 1984, one of her first stops was to visit the Lebanon Recreation & Parks Department to inquire about teaching ballet. What began as a small instructional program with a few dancers upstairs at the Carter Community Building is today a thriving, multi-faceted organization offering ballet, musical theater dance, and modern dance. The institution now has its own studio space on the mall in Lebanon comprised of a dance school – the Lebanon Ballet School – and a non-profit performance dance company – City Center Ballet, Inc., hosting professional artists and choreographers from around the country.
Jennifer Henderson teaches a high school class at City
Center Ballet.
Linda and fellow teacher Ruth Mayer established City Center Ballet in 1999 to provide opportunities for local dancers to explore and perform classic and contemporary ballet. "The cost of adding that component far exceeded the financial ability of a small ballet school, but forming a not-for-profit company opened the door to private and foundation funding," says Copp. The ballet company has a dual mission: to provide performance and educational opportunities for advanced dancers from local communities, while providing cultural enrichment for the wider Upper Valley audience. Now celebrating its 20th year, City Center Ballet offers high-quality full-length classical and repertory ballet performances to communities in Vermont and New Hampshire.
In 2008, Linda transitioned into the role of Artistic Director for City Center Ballet. "I felt that is was important to bring guest artists and choreographers from NYC, Canada, and from wherever I could to expose the dancers to a wider world and great connections to others in the dance world," explains Copp. With a philosophy of starting early to give dancers the greatest chance of long term success, the company has included children as young as six years old in age-appropriate roles.

costume inventory
Through teaching and training dancers for more than 30 years, Linda has seen many of her students grow up and become professional dancers and teachers in their own right. One of those students is Linda's daughter, Jennifer Henderson, an original founding dancer. Jennifer became the Resident Choreographer for the company in 2010, working on her first show, Cinderella. A natural interpreter of the classic dances and a skilled dancer and teacher, Jennifer tells an "amazing story with dance," according to Linda. Jennifer also choreographs the annual presentation of Clara's Dream, a nutcracker story, now in its ninth year. Jennifer says she was on the fence about teaching at first, but realized "there was a natural gravitational pull" back to the dance studio. Today, parents, and dancers alike say Jen is an "amazing teacher."
The Upper Valley has several dance schools, each with a different focus and teaching approach. City Center Ballet's reputation is one that expects dancers to make a full commitment to the program; and as a result, the company has a disciplined philosophy with the intent to prepare dancers with a high level of technical skill. Linda explains that dancers are asked to commit to three things, including "…to show up on time and be prepared to dance; ask questions and be informed; and understand that after the first week, there is a process of learning ballet that cannot be rushed."
Jennifer Henderson coaches Camille
There was a time when high-school-aged dancers in the company were fewer in numbers, but this is changing, says Linda. "The very nice thing is that former dancers are returning to the company." Emily Higgins is one returning dancer who couldn't stay away from the studio. "Anywhere you go in the dance world, if you have a strong foundation in classical ballet, you can explore all the other types of dance." Emily started dancing as a 5-year-old and notes, "The joke in the family was that I could dance before I could walk." At age 25, Emily was drawn back to the company after teaching locally and missing the classical aspect of dance. "The school and company have always had a professional atmosphere, and the etiquette and discipline are a big part of what appeals to me. I have a lot of discipline in my life because of this school." Linda adds, "Ballet was an etiquette before it was an art form. Ballet guidelines were set down 300 years ago, and the pointe slipper has changed little since the early twentieth century. I don't expect everyone to become a professional dancer, but I do ask that whatever they do, commit to doing it well."
Last year, the company began the Master Dance Series, which gives dancers the opportunity to study and learn intensively for six to seven days with a visiting choreographer/teacher. "We strive to link students with professional dancers so they can advance their technical skills and get exposure to the national dance community," says Linda. Guest artists have performed or taught with companies such as Ballet Hispanico, Twyla Tharp, and on Broadway. Many of the company's students have gone on to dance at the college level, with some being awarded scholarships to dance at University of Richmond, Skidmore, Boston Conservatory, Adelphi, and others. One college recruiter watched a rehearsal of the company, and offered two students full scholarships on the spot.
Some of the masks used in City Center Ballet productions
Camille Dizon, a seventh grader, is currently dancing with the company. Camille loves to dance so much that she practices five days a week. "I love being involved in the company because it pushes me to be a better dancer, and I get to know dancers from a lot of different schools." Camille started dancing at age six, being introduced to the basics of how to move with others, listen, observe, and move her body in space before getting instruction in classical ballet. "The more exposed you are to professional dancers, the broader your education. I learn a lot from the master classes and the mentoring really helps my performance skills. The teachers know what's best for you technically."
It appears that Camille and Emily will be dancing for as long as they want to, and Jennifer is set to carry on the legacy of professional-level choreography at City Center Ballet under Linda's guidance. As Linda says, "There is always a next generation of children to teach. I can't imagine doing anything else."

Looking for Best Running Shoes of 2019...! Get out from Here!
Nike is one of the most revolutionary going for walks shoe brands available. while they do persist with some famous fashions for years (ie the extra than 30 years history of the Nike Pegasus), they continuously introduce new technologies and with them, new names and category.
This article will help you make feel of all the ones version names, technical jargon and eventually recognize which of Nike's jogging footwear is supposed for which runner.
information the meaning and layout ideas at the back of the tech names will assist you navigate via the catalog quicker. here's a top level view.
Flyknit is a special woven material that makes the upper of a shoe sense like a sock, by using putting yarns and knits strategically around the shape for you to help the foot of the runner when wanted and go away it unfastened everywhere else.
Flyknit running footwear are light-weight: a light yarn replaces multiple stitched or glued panels. Flyknit also lets in for extremely specific top match, being able to seamlessly integrate tight-knit areas where support is wanted and huge-knit regions to allow for flexibility.
Flyknit is environmentally friendly because it produces 60% less waste than traditionally built running shoe uppers.
This technology is Nike's ultra-modern, so assume to pay a top class for Flyknit shoes.
maximum exquisite examples of Flyknit shoes are the Flyknit Racer (because the name implies, a quick and mild shoe for racing distances all the manner to the marathon) and the Nike loose Flyknit (an extremely bendy and light-weight going for walks shoe to reinforce and teach the muscle groups on your ft).
Engineered Mesh (once in a while referred to as "Flymesh" by means of Nike) is a light-weight mesh construction that is – as compared to traditional mesh fabrics – more breathable and is on the identical time both more durable and bendy.
Engineered Mesh features more prominent perforations than traditional mesh. it is a completely distinct construction than the previously cited Flyknit and footwear with Engineered Mesh commonly have a lower fee-factor.
You'll find Engineered Mesh on many of the Nike's maximum famous going for walks shoes. remarkable ones are the Nike Zoom shape and the Nike Lunarglide.
Midsoles of walking shoes are product of foam. every corporation has their very own trademark foam mix that attempts to achieve the subsequent: be as lightweight as possible, be smooth as a way to take in the impact with the ground, be elastic (so that you can compress on impact and launch propelling you forward), be long lasting (foam does go to pot with use, so all foam materials need to be engineered to keep its characteristics for a first rate amount of time).
In 2009, Nike introduced Lunarfoam, every now and then called Lunarlon. Lunarlon is Nike's softest, most cushioned and lightest foam compound.
Lunarlon is typically encapsuled in a box of tougher Phylon foam as a way to give structure and guide to the foot wherein wanted.
In short: choose Lunarfoam if you are searching out a gentle, plush, cushioned ride.
Phylon is Nike's basic foam cloth. it is fabricated from EVA Foam Pellets which are compressed then heat expanded & then in the end cooled into a mould. It is easy to become aware of by using the nice wrinkles the froth suggests after utilization.
Cushlon is a mixture of Phylon and rubber components that makes it light-weight and responsive.
all people knows Nike Air. That's how Nike got huge inside the 80s within the first region. however do you precisely recognise what Nike Air is ?
Nike going for walks footwear in the "Air" category regularly use Cushlon foam of their soles. tender and resilient, this foam has 2 obstacles: it is quite heavy (as maximum foam is) and it isn't always as "bouncy" as many runners count on their footwear to be.
the answer? cutting off areas of the Cushlon-foam-made midsole and filling them up with plastic baggage full of "Air" (Nike's mystery fuel compound). What this achieves is to reduce weight (via replacing the heavy foam with a completely lightweight "airbag") and to growth cushioning (being those airbags softer and springier than the Cushlon foam).
relying at the shoe, you may have Nike Air bags in the heel, the toe, or each.
Nike did a extremely good process of taking the nice elements of the preceding version (34) and making this shoe its own introduction. This shoe also attracts from elements inside the Nike Zoom Air Elite nine.
It takes the smooth foot movement and continues the rate aspect from the Elite. This shoe keeps the quick feel of the preceding models whilst taking up a more natural foot motion.
The single Air Zoom unit offers the toe off transition a miles smoother sense, therefore the herbal roll thru. i've simply preferred the Pegasus line inside the past and became forced to give up carrying them due to rubbing on my heel.
This updated version features a heel collar that offers your Achilles masses of room whilst keeping a comfortable in shape. the only element to be weary of is excessive temperatures. The Cushlon foam is stricken by hot temperatures and will become overly soft round 90ºF.
The Pegasus 35 is an first-rate each day teacher for its fee. I think one of the fine factors of this shoe is its ability to cater to many different sorts of runners.
The shoe that seems closest to this would be the Epic React flyknit. The Pegasus has constantly been one the extra famous footwear for Nike, and this shoe is not any exception.
once I first took these footwear out of the container it changed into like looking at some thing from a Sci-Fi movie. The streamlined look may be very aesthetically captivating.
My first thought when I put the shoe on turned into that it felt very natural for a 10mm toe drop. those are shoes you can take immediately from the container and cross right into a run with no need to break them in.
the sole unit is the primary update in this version of the Pegasus. Nike took some of the research from the breaking 2 project and applied it to the usual every day teacher.
combined with the full-period air zoom unit it offers the shoe a much smoother ride. The up to date tread sample on the outsole additionally enables to provide a better grip.
Lugs had been shortened on the front of the shoe to offer a greater aggressive toe off that helps to maintain traction even as at the the front foot.
every other advantage of this modified mid and outsole is expanded flexibility that adds to the clean journey. All this being said, the shoe has a propulsion sense that absolutely appears to help keep you rolling irrespective of in which your foot lands.
I took this shoe on a longer term in addition to doing 200s at the song, and it achieved very well across the wide spectrum of paces.
In all my years, i have by no means ran in a pair of Nikes. Nike isn't the primary brand I associate with going for walks. So when given the risk to review a pair I determined it was time.
The Nike Zoom structure are one in every of two balance alternatives Nike offers. the alternative is the Odyssey. even as the Odyssey is construct for performance stability, the Zoom shape are construct to be a each day trainer.
The Zoom structures has many competition in terms of charge, experience and balance. i discovered the cushioning and stability just like that of a Saucony manual in place of an Omni, or a Brooks Ravenna extra than an Adrenaline.
The experience of the Zoom systems is comparable in stability and cushion to an Asics 2000 or the aforementioned Brooks Ravenna.
those models run everywhere from one hundred ten to a hundred thirty, at the same time as the Zoom shape are right in the middle with a rate tag of one hundred twenty.
Upon beginning the container, i used to be extraordinarily impressed with the colorway and layout of the shoe. The navy blue mixes nicely with the orange-peel swoosh and the crimson flash heel.
The heel became my favored a part of the layout due to the way it flashed at the same time as on a run. The internal of the foot lacks a swoosh, that is extra visually attractive. i was intrigued by way of the flyknit lacing machine.
once I slipped them on for the primary time i was amazed via how firm they felt. The upper – these days up to date on this version – felt plush with masses of room for my foot to transport.
My first run out of the container became a at ease three.5 miles. It took my toes 1.5 miles to simply sense relaxed in them.
The Nike Winflo five is a low price factor jogging shoe from Nike. Its creation is simple however shares many aspects with its more high priced siblings, particularly the Pegasus 35.
The midsole is fabricated from Cushlon and incorporates Zoom devices to absorb impact.
The upper is Nike Flymesh (new call for engineered mesh) with Flywire cables to fasten the higher to the sole.
it is without a doubt one of the better access rate going for walks shoes.
We recommmend the Nike Winflo 5 as a good running shoe for novices. in case you need to begin running but are not geared up to shell out extra than $100 on a pair of running footwear, those might be able to take you at the least on your first 5k!
inspired by using the Vaporfly Elite and four%, mixed with the every day move-to staple Pegasus and the use of newly launched foam, Nike has created the subsequent massive interesting shoe launch, the Zoom Pegasus rapid.
the usage of ZoomX, found inside the aforementioned 4%, and React foams, the Pegasus faster is the solution to the year long query of where is the day by day teacher to compliment the brand new line of racing shoes debuted in 2017.
ZoomX foam, which is lighter and affords greater electricity return than different Nike offerings, can best be observed within the Vaporfly Elite, Vaporfly 4%, and now the Pegasus turbo.
The Elites and 4% shoes fluctuate from the Pegasus rapid in two essential methods. the primary being the plate that sits within the midsole of the Elite and 4% shoes that pop the runner's foot forward for an aggressive toe off.
the second is supposed use of the shoe. The Vaporfly Elite and four% are the gold standard marathon racing footwear; the Pegasus rapid is meant for day by day education.
to indicate the muse of the quick aspect of the rapid; Nike has protected a thick racing stripe down the middle and also named the shoe rapid.
From an idea viewpoint this new offering is honestly stimulated with the aid of the namesake Pegasus.
The Air Zoom Pegasus, now in it's 35th generation is an annual release every day instructor through Nike this is appropriate for every form of run and liked by way of novices and advanced runners alike.
The silhouette of the Pegasus faster matches that of the Pegasus 35s with the same appearance, curved heel cuff, and wellknown shell of a shoe.
Minor adjustments to the higher cloth and an up to date outsole all alternate from the Pegasus 35 to the turbo. the principle promoting point of the turbo is what's below the hood.
the provision of the ZoomX foam within the Pegasus turbo is what runners will flock to as the Vaporfly Elite has most effective hit the marketplace as soon as, when it was priced at six hundred bucks; and the Vaporfly 4% is released in extraordinary colorways in constrained portions sparingly.
Unboxing the Pegasus turbo the aesthetics as a sleek speedy searching shoe is loud and clear. A racing stripe down the center, an "aerodynamic" heel fin and tab, and a massive nike swoosh that takes up 1/2 the shoe.
you can bodily see in which the 2 layers of foam, the ZoomX and React sit on the only and the nike branding at the shoe is more in step with the Vaporfly four% than the Pegasus 35.
The Pegasus Turbos are about an oz. lighter than the standard Pegasus counterpart and at brief glance are really comparable designed shoes.
the primary run in the Pegasus Turbos changed into one which various tempo and it have become clear that the ZoomX foam paired with the React foam creates a softer aspect than the standard Pegasus without the pop of the Vaporfly 4% (recollect: there may be no plate within the rapid, simply the froth).
It turned into a at ease journey that felt excellent and gentle.
The Nike Zoom Vomero thirteen is one of the maximum famous neutral trainers made by means of Nike. Representing their top degree of cushion, the Vomero can maintain a pounding and can log quite a few miles.
In my testing, it already logged 125+ miles earlier than the writing of the review. however, there may be also a purpose for this — with a purpose to be discussed later.
it's been a few years since i have run in a Nike cushioned model, and i will say things have modified for the organization.
The Vomero represents the top level of cushion for the Nike neutral running shoes and a flagship for his or her neutral cushioned models.
these shoes compete against the likes of the Brooks Glycerin, ASICS Nimbus, Saucony Triumph ISO and Mizuno Wave Sky. however, those come in at a decrease rate variety than any of the footwear in opposition to which they compete.
while these shoes confirmed up, i used to be pretty excited. these are a pair which i used to be very a whole lot looking ahead to checking out. they have a awesome look, and instantly out of the box they seemed geared up to head.
when I first placed them on, they have been quite relaxed to simply put on and walk around. but, on the first run — and many next run later on — they precipitated warm spots and blisters on my feet.

Patriarch (Pope) of Rome: First acts of political independence from Constantinople – Depopulation in Italy and slavery during the 6th century
De-population and Contraction of town life in Italy
Moorhead, in NCMH vol 1, p.158, notes that in Cassiodorus's works – before 535AD – there are many references to open cities, while forts (castra, castella) are barely mentioned. In pope Gregory's [590] works, however, the narrative is all forts.
In his Archaeology, Christie 2006: 60 notes that during the Gothic and Lombard wars many urban centres were decimated and the survivors forced to flee to, or encouraged to migrate to, alternative, better fortified and equipped seats. Fully 42 bishoprics went out of existence. Perhaps surprisingly, southern Italy – for the south is sometimes viewed as partly cushioned from the warfare – was the most badly hit: thus no bishoprics appear in Lucania, the lower-middle section of the Italian boot, under pope Gregory (d. 604); and, of the 15 previously attested in Apulia, just one is recorded, namely at Sipontum (Manfredonia). The formerly important see of Canosa/Canusium had no clergy at all in 591.
Slavery Continues
"The papacy owned slaves, and the pope was their master. Some worked in domestic settings, others on the papacy's vast landholdings. Of course free lessees and coloni (serfs of various kinds) also worked on church land … It is impossible to know how many slaves the papacy owned, or how much of its property was farmed by slaves. But, while there may have been growth in tied tenancy [serfdom] during the period, there is a growing consensus that there was not a precipitous decline in the slave population. Papal slaves were not a rarity." —Adam Serfass, 'Slavery and Pope Gregory', Journal of Early Christian Studies, Volume 14, Number 1, Spring 2006.
In 598 we have a report of Jewish merchants buying pagan and Christian slaves in Gaul and bringing them, at the behest of imperial officials, to Naples for sale. As non-Christians, Jews were not subject to the decrees of the Church (McCormick 2001: 625 note 29; William Phillips, Slavery from Roman times to the early transatlantic trade, Manchester University Press ND, 1985, pp.61-63).
The great slave market of the West in the 600s was at Marseilles in the Frankish kingdom; The Vita of St. Eligius, fl. 638, Bishop of Noyon (in what is now N France) in the seventh century, makes it clear that ships bearing more than 100 slaves were not unusual at this time: "there were Romans, Gauls, and Britons also, and men of Marseilles, but they [the slaves] were chiefly men of Saxony" (Inge Hansen & Chris Wickham, The Long 8th century, Brill, 2000 p.177).
Pragmatic Relations in Italy
Brown, in Gentlemen and Officers, 1984: 73, notes that there was an imperial policy of winning over dissident or greedy Lombards. And it was broadly successful. No less than 14 or 54% of the 26 dukes and magistri militum – senior military commanders – serving Byzantium in Italy between the Lombard invasions and the death (604) of Gregory I were Germans (ethnic Lombards) by birth. "The readiness of the Lombard dukes to transfer allegiance to the Empire demonstrates the shakiness of the early Lombard kings' authority".
During 592-93 Duke Ariulf of Spoleto continually threatened the Via Amerina, the
communication route between Rome and Ravenna, and captured a number of other places belonging to the empire; while in the south Arichis, duke of Benevento, co-operating with Ariulf, pressed hard upon Naples.
About the end of July, Pope Gregory concluded a separate peace with Ariulf which aroused great indignation at Ravenna and Constantinople because it was beyond the authority of the Roman patriarch to make such peace with an independent power. It would seem that it was this action which stirred the exarch Romanus to a campaign.
Ariulf of Spoleto attempted to take Rome. He succeeded only in taking several forts on the highway from Ravenna to Rome, but this briefly divided the imperial realm and momentarily united the Lombard realms.
In 592 the Roman patriarch Gregory "received a threatening letter from Ariulf of Spoleto, which was followed almost immediately by the appearance of that chief before the walls of Rome [July 592]. At the same time Arichis [Latin 'Arogis'] of Benevento advanced on Naples, which happened at the moment to have no bishop nor any officer of high rank in command of the garrison. Gregory at once took the surprising step of appointing a tribune [i.e. an officer commanding a numerus of around 350 troops: by name Constantius] on his own authority to take command of the city (Epp., II, xxxiv), and, when no notice of this strong action was taken by the imperial authorities, the pope conceived the idea of himself arranging a separate peace with the Lombards (Epp., II, xlv)". Subsequently the northern Lombards under King Agilulf will push south and besiege Rome. The exarch was at Ravenna, so the defence of Rome was managed by the local Byzantine commander (magister militum) and the pope or archbishop of Rome, Gregory. Agilulf was paid money to withdraw (593).
Gregory I, the patriarch of Rome, appealed to the exarch Romanus at Ravenna for help in assisting Naples, then under Lombard attack. Romanus evidently thought it more prudent to remain in NE Italy. Gregory then made peace with the Duchy of Spoleto, in order to relieve Naples which was threatened by the Lombards of Benevento.
The Exarch reasserts imperial authority along the Via Cassia and the Via Amerina, key roads leading into Rome from the NE and north respectively. In all, 10 towns and villages were recaptured (late 592-early 593) from the Lombards. This was essential if communications between Rome and Ravenna were to be restored.
"Romanus, the 'patrician' [patrikios, a court title] and Exarch of Ravenna, proceeded to Rome. During his return (593) to Ravenna, he re-occupied the cities that were held by the Langobards, of which the names are as follows: Sutrium, Polimartium, Horta, Tuder, Ameria, Perusia, Luceolis, and some other cities." —Paulus D., 4.8.
The Exarch Romanus had left the city and taken most of its garrison with him. The Exarch's campaign had roused Agilulf, who marched from Pavia to re-take Perugia. The Lombard army must simply have marched past Romanus in Ravenna, ignoring him. They then marched on Rome, arriving there probably some time in June 593; or perhaps a little later: there is a pause in the Pope's correspondence between December 593 and March 594.
The only professional troops in Rome were the 'Theodosiac regiment' [Latin: numerus Theodosiacus], originally recruited in the Crimea, whose pay was in arrears. So the church paid them (Richards 1979: 173; Theodosiacus: Diehl p.198). Also Pope Gregory knew that the city's grain store was too small to hold out for very long. And, from the battlements of the city, he could see the captive Latins driven from the Campagna – the valley of the lower Tiber, – roped together with halters around their necks, on their way to slavery: "Romans tied by the neck [with ropes around their necks] like dogs" – "and led off to be sold as slaves to the Franks" (Letter V.40).
The siege of the city was soon abandoned, however, and Agilulf retired – to Milan, so presumably via Tuscany (Jones et al., Prosopography, I:28). Ignoring the Exarch in Ravenna, the patriarch of Rome, Gregory, used a large gift of silver to obtain a treaty with Agilulf: the first stirrings of political independence by the papacy. Although Rome eluded him, Agilulf at this time, as we have said, took control of Perugia, a key fortress town (Collins 1991: 197). Diehl (1905: 69) says, or seems to say, that the Lombard held Perugia through to 598.
In a letter (V, xxxix) Gregory calls himself as "the paymaster of the Lombards", and apparently silver was the chief inducement to raise the siege (Barry 2003: 50). "The emperor has a paymaster for his troops in Ravenna [i.e. the Exarch]," he wrote to the empress, "but he leaves me to be the paymaster of the Lombards in Rome." The silver paid was equivalent to 500 Roman pounds of gold or 36,000 nomismata (gold coins) (Richards 1979: 173 and 1980: 186).

Growing up I had a love for Shirley Temple, reading, writing, swimming and being active. My parents described me as an outgoing child, always with a big smile on my face, not much has changed here. I was fortunate to have had an incredible childhood which I believe has helped shape my life today. Since I can remember I was running around the neighborhood, swimming in our pool and in the winter skating. I took piano, acting and singing lessons but soon my commitment to swimming took over. I was training 2-4 hours a day starting at the age of 10.
I was a competitive swimmer for over 13 years. I swam three years at the varsity level after which I decided to end my career. I told people my passion wasn't there anymore, but the real reason was I couldn't handle it mentally anymore. I was a good swimmer, but I never truly reached my full potential. I've always had bad anxiety and unfortunately a lot of this anxiety occurred during my races. It would happen out of nowhere and suddenly in the middle of my race I would have a full-blown panic attack. Sometimes I could continue the race but other times I would have to slow down drastically or stop all together. Not only was this devastating for me as I put my heart and soul into the sport and had one of the best work ethics on the team but I also felt humiliated. No one else had these struggles, or so it appeared. I was embarrassed, felt alone and felt I was letting the team and myself down.
Walking away from swimming I never really dealt with it. Instead I masked it with partying. I started drinking a lot. I was getting black out drunk 3-4 times a week, doing poorly in school, and doing things uncharacteristic of myself. I was a mess. I started working out in the gym with weights and this is what helped to pull me out of this phase. I loved how I could channel my problems and use exercise as therapy. I loved the feeling of working as hard as I possibly could at achieving something. It gave me passion that I had missed since quitting swimming. Most importantly it took me out of the party scene, and for this I am thankful.
Few months in, I was hooked and signed up for my first fitness competition. As much as the experience was incredible, and I did win. This was my first mistake: I rushed into something, I was naïve, I didn't know much about it all, and I trusted a coach I knew nothing about. Due to my inexperience and lack of education I didn't understand how to properly reverse diet, nor was I given help to. I had a bad rebound which left me gaining 50lbs over my stage weight. This experience did, however push me into the direction of a Kinesiology degree where I was able to properly educate myself.

We are looking for women ages 18 years and older to join our team as skaters. We welcome women from various backgrounds regardless of their athletic ability, size, race, age, gender presentation, and sexual orientation. We are also looking for women or men (18+) who are interested in getting involved in the league as volunteers, referees, coaches, or non-skating officials.
Can't skate? No problem! All interested skaters are required to register for the Fresh Meat Program, where we will teach you everything from basics of skating, how to safely fall, and how to make contact on the track. To play, you are required to have the following gear: a helmet, mouth guard, elbow pads, wrist guards, knee pads, and (of course!) skates. We recommend getting a "fresh meat" package from www.rollergirl.ca, as this will have everything you need to start skating.

The Kenora Roller Derby (KRDL) was formed in April of 2012 by a group of dedicated individuals who decided to learn the sport.

Roller derby is a sport that is growing quickly and it attracts a diverse range of personalities and fitness levels. The league consists of many amazing individuals, not just skaters but coaches and volunteers that help run the league.

Park designation honors Charlie Meyers
Things To DoOutdoors
The "Dream Stream" portion of the South Platte River will be renamed in honor of former Denver Post outdoors writer Charlie Meyers, who died Jan. 5.
By Karl Licis and Special to The Denver Post | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: March 11, 2010 at 2:06 p.m. | UPDATED: May 6, 2016 at 4:26 p.m.
It's official. The "Dream Stream" portion of the South Platte River connecting Elevenmile and Spinney Mountain reservoirs will become the Charlie Meyers State Wildlife Area on May 1. The change was unanimously approved by the Colorado Wildlife Commission on Thursday during its monthly meeting.
The move honors the longtime Denver Post outdoor writer and editor who died Jan. 5 after a two-year battle with lung cancer and frequently fished along the river.
Longtime friends and associates of Meyers agreed the tribute was especially appropriate because of his involvement in bringing the stretch of river into the public domain, accessible to all fishermen and helping maintain its quality by encouraging sound resource management.
"He was definitely a catalyst," said Eddie Kochman, who was the Colorado Division of Wildlife's aquatics manager when the DOW acquired the property and established catch-and-release fishing regulations for the approximately 3 1/2 miles of river between the reservoirs.
"He had a good working relationship with Jim Ruch (DOW director in the early 1980s when Spinney Mountain Dam was built) and helped convince him that we should buy the property. At that time, we had some pretty strong disagreement within the DOW on that point. Once Ruch decided to go ahead with it, it happened very quickly."
The river segment has become one of the most popular destinations in Colorado for anglers seeking a quality fishing experience.
It offers excellent opportunities to catch exceptionally large rainbow trout from Elevenmile Reservoir that enter the river in the spring, and brown trout that move in during the fall. It also supports a good population of resident trout and features excellent hatches of aquatic insects.
"Charlie's consistent coverage and championing of that stretch of river and South Park clearly was a major factor in making it what it has become for anglers both in Colorado and nationally," said Todd Malmsbury, retired after working 18 years as chief public information officer for the DOW.
"From my position as an information officer, I can tell you he made countless trips to the river and the nearby reservoirs with DOW biologists to help them with their sampling and make suggestions for managing them to maintain their quality."
A dedication ceremony at the site will be conducted sometime in mid-May to mid-June, DOW director Tom Remington said.

Q: "Municipality of " or " Municipality" I was discussing with some people about which form is more correct regarding a Municipality, or other territory divisions.
For example, regarding to a map of the municipality, is it more correct to use:

*

*"Map of the Municipality of Lisbon"

*"Map of the Lisbon Municipality"

*"Lisbon Municipality Map"

Or are all of them correct?
Which one would be used in a formal/informal context?
Couldn't find much about it online, besides example usages of the forms.

A: The first two

"Map of the Municipality of Lisbon"
"Map of the Lisbon Municipality"

Are more or less exchangeable

"Lisbon Municipality Map"

sounds more informal. If you actually bought a paper object it might be labelled like that to save space on the cover.


Should You Always Trust Your Doctor?
The other week a guy came in to see me about his foot pain.
He limped in, barely able to walk, all the way to the treatment room.
The pain had been going on for around 10 days.
"Go home, rest it, ice it, and take some anti-inflammatories".
So when the pain wasn't getting any better he came to see me.
He sat down he took his shoe and sock off to expose his foot.
Normally people come in who are in pain, with nothing to "see", apart from maybe some swelling or redness.
On this occasion however something nearly resembling a foot was staring back at me! [Read more…] about Should You Always Trust Your Doctor?
There's a film out at the moment called The Martian.
It's an absolutely brilliant film, filled with humour, suspense and a lot of Matt Damon.
If you haven't seen it yet you should, and beware, this email may contain some spoilers.
They presume him to be dead and evacuate Mars in a hurry before it's too late.
Are You Injured Because You're Weak? Or Weak Because You're Injured?

Does Kinesio Tape Really Work Or Is It Just For Looks?
You may not know what it's called but you have probably seen it. If you have seen any sport on TV over the last several years you will have seen various athletes with coloured tape positioned over certain muscles or joints. That's Kinesio Tape, Rock Tape or K-Tape (different brands call it different things but they are all much the same stuff).

Recently I met someone who was complaining of suffering with constant low energy.
Do you know what she did? Well instead of thinking about diet or lifestyle the first thing she did was to try some supplements to help give her energy!
The thing is they were just some standard multivitamin supplements with added Gingseng.
Supposing they do help at all, which I doubt they will, they will only be masking the real reason why this lady was tired in the first place.

We Are Verona
Superintendent Corner Column
"Own our actions. Embrace diversity. Accept on another. Respect others. Everyone is equal. Voices are heard. Inspire excellence. Reject rumors. Include everyone. No one stands alone. We are one."
Verona Students, Staff, Parents & Community Members, 2017
Dear Verona Community Members,
Our mission statement collectively developed by our community through the strategic planning process calls upon us "to inspire our students to be compassionate global citizens through dynamic teaching, meaningful curricula, and enriching experiences." It has been three years since our student, staff, and parent committees established our commitment to #WeAreVerona which captures the values we hold so dear in our hearts. We are extremely grateful to our teachers, counselors, and administrators for their tireless efforts as we strive to ensure equity for all of our students in the educational experience the Verona Public Schools affords each child. There is, however, no doubt that we still have much more work ahead of us.
We believe that all students, no matter their background, can succeed. But it is up to us as deeply committed educators and community members to establish the appropriate foundation in our schools for that possibility to become a reality. We have a moral obligation to reject all forms of injustice everywhere and to educate our young students to respect the individuality of every person. We not only value, but we embrace the diversity of our students, staff, and community inclusive of all race, culture, class, and identity for the beautiful kaleidoscope that we are. We have 2,300 students in Verona, and as a result, we have 2,300 reasons to get this right.
As we embark on the next steps in our journey, it is apropos to remind ourselves of our commitment to the #WeAreVerona values. We are in the process of convening a committee of stakeholders, representative of all races, religions, and diverse backgrounds. We have an impressive number of volunteers who have expressed their preferences in our district task force for which specific subcommittee they would like to focus their work on, spread across six focus areas: Professional Development; Curriculum & Instruction; School Climate & Culture; Hiring & Recruiting; Educational Equity and Community Outreach. At the present time, we are actively seeking out a professional consultant who is skilled at facilitating groups in having these critical conversations and who specializes in organizational work centered around the important issues of equity, inclusiveness, and diversity. We are currently in conversations with several candidates who we believe will best be able to guide us in our work in these areas. Once our search process is complete, we look forward to announcing and introducing our consultant and the coordination of our launch meeting as we begin this crucial work together.
We are appreciative of our community partnership in this important endeavor. Thank you for your patience as we finalize our planning and preparation for the new year. Best wishes to you and your family and a happy holiday season to all.
All my best,
Dr. Rui Dionisio
