Congratulations of a different kind are in order for Cornwall sailing star Sir Ben Ainslie - as he became a father for the first time.
The four-time Olympic gold medallist took to his Twitter to repost a picture of his wife and their new daughter Bellatrix.
In the picture Ben, and hife wife Georgie, poked fun at the British America's Cup hashtag, #BringtheCupHome - changing cup to baby.
The next leg of the cup takes place on July 23.
Sir Ben Ainslie has announced his plans to bring the America's Cup trophy to Britain.
The four-time Olympic gold medallist, who grew up in Cornwall, helped Team Oracle USA to victory last year. He is now building a British team but admits he is uncertain whether he will be in the crew for the competition in 2017.
Sir Ben Ainslie, who trained in Cornwall has been raising money for a sailing school in Bermuda in the name of his late-team mate Andrew Bart Simpson. Simpson died earlier this year in San Francisco after being trapped under his catarman when it capsized and broke into pieces.
After helping the USA team win the America Cup in a huge turnaround Ben Ainslie and Ian Percy have been setting up a sailing foundation for young people in memory of Simpson.
The man who masterminded one of the greatest sporting comebacks in history, Sir Ben Ainslie has been telling us that he hopes Great Britain will put together a team to compete in the next Americas Cup.
Sir Ben, who learnt to sail near Falmouth, has been speaking to our reporter Francesca Carpenter about his next challenges.
Sir Ben Ainslie has been congratulated for his part in one of the greatest sporting comebacks of all time.
The Olympic hero was drafted in as tactician by the USA Team in the Americas Cup.
He then helped take them from a position no-one thought they could recover from, to victory in a thrilling finale.
Has the time come for a British Americas Cup team - something Sir Ben Ainslie thinks should happen.
The West Country has a strong sailing heritage, and proof of that could be seen in Falmouth on Thursday where an event formerly known as the 'Little Americas Cup' took place.
Talk about winning the #GlobalRace - Sir Ben Ainslie is responsible for one of the greatest ever sporting comebacks in the America's Cup.
The US sailing team Oracle are celebrating a famous win in the America's Cup, after they came back from 8-1 down to win 9-8 against New Zealand team Emirates.
America's Cup hero Ben Ainslie said it was "about time" Britain made a mark in the competition after helping US team Oracle to a famous victory against New Zealand.
"I'd love to build a British team for the future. We have the talent, it's just about bringing it together and putting a team out that can be successful," the four-time Olympic champion told ITV News.


The Cultural Nuances of Holiday Greeting Cards Or, my way of wishing you Happy Holidays!
Last year, I spent Christmas eating lobster on my sailboat with a bunch of new sailor friends in the port of Mindelo, on the island of Sao Vicente, In Cape Verde. My husband had tried to create some holiday cheer by decorating our cockpit with some tinsel garlands and a star made of twigs on which plastic pine cones were glued. In the same spirit of the holidays, some Cape Verdeans shop owners hung up in their window fronts paper decorations of fat white Santa Clauses amid snowflakes and reindeers.
There is no snow in Cape Verde, nor are there pine trees. I found this culture clash disturbing, but have yet to find a name for it. What's the opposite of cultural appropriation? Globalization, maybe? Western-washing?
Yet even in the "Western world," cultural misplacements occur. Christmas is a good holiday to demonstrate that even among Western and Christian cultures, there are nuances to cultural practices. Allow me to demonstrate using the practice of holiday greeting cards.
In Canada (where I'm from), Christmas cards are usually sent out during the month of December to extended family members and friends. These cards are usually displayed in the home, effectively becoming part of the Christmas decorations.
At work, we send gifts to our main clients and cards to our partners and suppliers. E-cards are practical but don't replace the more personal touch of a paper card. Cards are either bilingual or ordered in separate English/French batches. In them we write "Happy Holidays" or "Season's Greetings" and "Happy New Year." A card with a signature without a personal message is acceptable.
France is a whole different ballgame. It is both profoundly Catholic and secular, which means that even if practically all holidays originate from Catholicism, any religious expression in the workplace is frowned upon. A lot. This is why Muslim women cannot wear headscarves in public institutions, or why Catholic nuns can't either. Their concept of "laïcité" is usually misunderstood by its world neighbors. In effect, it seeks to avoid ostentatious signs of religion in order to protect the person from religious discrimination, therefore maintaining their rights to equality.
When Christmas time rolls around, the French do not send out Christmas cards. At most, they might wish someone "Happy holidays" at the bottom of an email or as a farewell greeting on the phone. Instead, the French send out Happy New Year cards to partners and clients throughout the month of January, concentrating their message on the year to come rather than being thankful for the year past.
In business, sending out Christmas or New Year's greeting cards is usually a marketing activity. It's what's called a touch point. But that doesn't mean there are not true feelings of gratitude and kinship behind them.
In my experience, employees will usually use whatever design or shape of card that marketing provides. It's only in the UK where I saw employees go out and buy their own cards (and then expense them) to be sure they get their hand-written messages out to their contacts on time, before Christmas.
I have friends and contacts in all these countries, so I designed and sent our my greeting cards with these cultural differences in mind. The one with the Christmas decorations is the most Christmas-y, so that is the design I mostly sent to England. The snowflake is the most secular, so I have been saving those to send out to France in January. I sent out my North-America-bound cards first, because of postal delays and to ensure reception at least a week before Christmas. My UK-bound cards were sent out Monday.
Anybody who knows me knows that I love Christmas. I love giving because it makes me happy. I love the values of goodness and generosity that are at the heart of this holiday. My year has been epic and I am extremely grateful. In addition to crossing the Atlantic in a sailboat, I have launched the Julius Communication web site and this blog, I have been working on mandates that I enjoy and have been writing consistently.
I would like to end this post by thanking you, dear reader, for visiting my blog and reading my words.
I wish you a wonderful holiday season and a great New Year. May 2018 be a year of reaching goals, living dreams, and loving it all.


11:1 Then as they neared Jerusalem – into Bethphage and Bethany – and came to the Mount of Olives, he dispatched two of his disciples.
11:3 and if anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' tell him that the Master needs it and will return it soon."
11:4 Then they left and found the colt tied by an out-going door where two paths met – so they loosened him.
11:6 So they told him what Jesus had instructed him to say – and he let them go.
11:7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and they laid their coats on it – and Jesus sat on it.
11:8 Many spread their coats on the path while others cut branches from the trees and spread them along the path.
11:11 Then Jesus entered the Temple – and by the time he looked around at everything it was evening. He then left for Bethany with the twelve.
11:12 The next day, after they traveled from Bethany, he was hungry.
11:13 Seeing a fig tree from a distance with leaves, he approached it to see if he might find any fruit on it – but when he got to it he found nothing but leaves, because figs were not in season yet.
11:14 Then Jesus said to the tree, "No one will ever eat fruit from you." And the disciples heard this.
11:15 Then they arrived in Jerusalem and Jesus went into the Temple. He began casting out the shoppers and merchants in the Temple. He overthrew the tables of the bankers and the chairs of those who sold doves.
11:16 And he would not allow anyone carrying any merchandise through the temple.
11:18 When the scribes and chief priests heard this, they sought ways to destroy him because they feared him, for all the people were amazed at his teachings.
11:19 Then when evening came, he left the city.
11:20 In the morning as they passed by the fig tree, they saw it had withered from the roots up.
11:22 Jesus replied, "Put your trust in God.
11:23 Because truly I tell you, whoever of you says to this mountain, 'Be lifted and thrown into the sea' and has no doubt within his heart – but trusts what He says - it will be done for him.
11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever things you pray and ask for, trust that you will receive and they will be granted to you.
11:25 And when you persist to pray, be forgiving of anything done against you, so that your Creator who is in the spiritual realm will also forgive you for your own offenses."
11:29 Jesus replied, "I also ask of you one question – and if you answer me I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
11:30 The baptism of John – was it from the spiritual realm – or of men? Answer me this."
11:32 But if we say, 'Of men' …" – as they feared the people, because everyone considered John to be a genuine Prophet.
1. Verse 11:9. The Greek word ὡσαννά (hōsanna) is a statement of praise for God – in declaring something as auspicious.
2. Verse 11:10. The Greek word ὕψιστος (hypsistos) refers to "the most high" or "the highest" according to the lexicon, indicating the Supreme Being. They are praising those (Jesus and David) who have come in the Name of God – because Jesus and David were God's messengers who often praised God's Names.

Q: SQL - Return rows matching all values from a joined table Title might not be massively helpful on this one so I'll try and explain it as best I can.
Assume two tables.
Product (ProductID, Name)
ProductCategory (ID, ProductID, CategoryID)

and a third temporary table containing a list of CategoryIDs to match.
MatchTable(CategoryID)

I want to use the contents of MatchTable to return the products that have all of the associated categories.   IE.
Product 1: Associated with categories 1 and 2.
Product 2: Associated with categories 2 and 3.
Product 3: Associated with categories 1, 2 and 3.

If MatchTable contains 1 and 2, I want to return products 1 and 3 because they match the criteria.  If MatchTable contains 2 then all products would be returned.
The code for returning a product that matches any of the values in MatchTable is easy, but I can't seem to get the syntax right for the products that match all.

A: Guess I'd test a match count vs rows in the matchtable
select p.ProductID, max(p.Name)
from Product p
inner join ProductCategory c on c.ProductID = p.ProductID
inner join MatchTable m on m.CategoryID = c.CategoryID
group by p.ProductID
having COUNT(*) = (select COUNT(*) from MatchTable)

Scrappers Sign to Play Ball for Another 15 Seasons
NILES, Ohio – Fans who have enjoyed watching the Mahoning Valley Scrappers over the last 20 years can look forward to at least another 15 seasons of baseball at Eastwood Field.
"Over the years, we've really grown the business and made it a great destination point and focal point of people's summers in the Mahoning Valley," Jordan Taylor, vice president of HWS Baseball said in announcing the team has signed a lease with The Cafaro Co. through 2033.
"It's really a big deal," Taylor said during a press event at Cafaro Co. headquarters Thursday. "It comes with a true partnership with the Cafaro family and The Cafaro Co."
HWS Group's Baseball division owns the Scrappers organization and minor league clubs in Dayton; Modesto, Calif; and Mobile, Ala.
This year, the Mahoning Valley Scrappers celebrates its 20th season as a Class A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, a venture that Taylor credits to the Cafaro family and their vision to bring professional baseball to the region.
Taylor also announced that the team has extended its contract with the Indians, making it one of 160 markets across the country that play host to a minor-league baseball team that is affiliated with a major league franchise.
Since the affiliate's first season in 1999, more than 90 former Scrappers have reached the major leagues, Taylor said, including C.C. Sabathia, Victor Martinez and Francisco Lindor.
A short video celebrating the Scrappers' 20th anniversary will be aired at the park during the season, with comments from Indians players Josh Tomlin, Jose Ramirez and Tyler Naquin, who reminisce about their Class A days in Niles.
Attendance increased by nearly 15% during the 2017 season, one of the largest increases of any minor league team in the country, Taylor said. "Our hope is to increase that and push those numbers even higher," he remarked.
Along with a new 15-year commitment, Taylor said the team would be making new investments and enhancements to the operations at Eastwood Field.
Among the improvements are upgrades to the field's broadcast and video booth, a LED high quality video display four times the size of the current screen, a new sound system, enhancements to the control room, and a more efficient concession operations, including the addition of two portable concession stands.
Future investments are targeted for field enhancements, and expansion of clubhouse, suite level and general seating, Taylor noted.
Scrappers games will also be streamed live via MiLB TV starting this season, he said.
Taylor said the improvements would improve non-baseball events at the park. In 2017, for example, Eastwood Field hosted 200 events — 38 of which were Scrappers games, he emphasized.
The Cafaro Co. – then under the direction of the late William J. Cafaro and retired president Anthony Cafaro Sr. – developed what was then Cafaro Field in 1998-1999 on land near the Eastwood Mall complex.
Anthony Cafaro Jr., today co-president of The Cafaro Co., said the company had no real experience with professional sports franchises.
"We didn't know what to expect," Cafaro said. "We learned a lot over the years and the relationship really has flourished," he said. Business sponsorships, he added, are integral to the success of the team, and the overwhelming support of the community.
"I think the community overall is what really makes this possible," Cafaro said. "We're proud that this has not been just a Niles effort, a Youngstown or Warren effort – it's the entire Mahoning Valley. That's what's made this successful."

This series is a set of reflections and write-ups from meetings we regularly hold at the Berkeley Institute for Data Science, where we bring a wide range of people from across the UC-Berkeley campus and beyond together to discuss how to do something challenging in data science well – or at least better.
Abstract: What are the challenges and best practices for doing data-intensive research in teams, labs, and other groups? This paper reports from a discussion in which researchers from many different disciplines and departments shared their experiences on doing data science in their domains. The issues we discuss range from the technical to the social, including issues with getting on the same computational stack, workflow and pipeline management, handoffs, composing a well-balanced team, dealing with fluid membership, fostering coordination and communication, and not abandoning best practices when deadlines loom. We conclude by reflecting about the extent to which there are universal best practices for all teams, as well as how these kinds of informal discussions around the challenges of doing research can help combat impostor syndrome.
Abstract: What actions can we take to foster diverse and inclusive workplaces in the broad fields around data science? This paper reports from a discussion in which researchers from many different disciplines and departments raised questions and shared their experiences with various aspects around diversity, inclusion, and equity. The issues we discuss include fostering inclusive interpersonal and small group dynamics, rules and codes of conduct, increasing diversity in less-representative groups and disciplines, organizing events for diversity and inclusion, and long-term efforts to champion change.
Abstract: Turnover is a fact of life for any project, and academic research teams can face particularly high levels of people who come and go through the duration of a project. In this article, we discuss the challenges of turnover and some potential practices for helping manage it, particularly for computational- and data-intensive research teams and projects. The topics we discuss include establishing and implementing data management plans, file and format standardization, workflow and process documentation, clear team roles, and check-in and check-out procedures.
Abstract: There are many recommendations of "best practices" for those doing data science, data-intensive research, and research in general. These documents usually present a particular vision of how people should work with data and computing, recommending specific tools, activities, mechanisms, and sensibilities. However, implementation of best (or better) practices in any setting is often met with resistance from individuals and groups, who perceive some drawbacks to the proposed changes to everyday practice. We offer some definitions of resistance, identify the sources of researchers' hesitancy to adopt new ways of working, and describe some of the ways resistance is manifested in data science teams. We then offer strategies for overcoming resistance based on our group members' experiences working alongside resistors or resisting change themselves. Our discussion concluded with many remaining questions left to tackle, some of which are listed at the end of this piece.

Argument Leads to Bar Owner's Death
Posted by Packet | Dec 15, 2016 | Crime, News | 0 |
BY SCOTT BOYD
maconbeacon@aol.com
SPECIAL TO THE PACKET
Noxubee County Sheriff Terry Grassaree said an argument between patrons led to the shooting death of bar owner Andrew Quintrell Sherrod Sunday night in a remote part of the county.
Sherrod, 34, was pronounced dead at Noxubee General Hospital after being transported by ambulance about 8 p.m. Sunday. An air ambulance was ordered, but was turned back after Sherrod died. Noxubee Coroner R.L. Calhoun transported Sherrod's body to Jackson for an autopsy Monday.
A second victim, Deangelo Martin, was also shot, and is recovering at Noxubee General Hospital, Sheriff Grassaree said. Martin was shot twice in the leg and is expected to recover, the sheriff said. The sheriff said he hasn't been able to determine an exact age for Martin, but estimates about 25. Sherrod and Martin are reportedly related.
Early Monday morning Sheriff Grassaree arrested Cedric Shantell Carter, 35, of Columbus. The sheriff said he has charged Carter with murder and aggravated assault. He was arraigned Tuesday morning and Judge Tim Gowan set the bond at $1 million for the murder charge and $200,000 for the aggravated assault charge. He is being held in the Noxubee County Jail. Sheriff Grassaree said Carter's relatives in Columbus encouraged him to surrender at the Lowndes Jail. "We picked him up at the jail in Columbus and made it back to Macon about 2 a.m. Monday," he said.
Carter's wife, the former Lashonda McCoy, is originally from Macon, and according to Sheriff Grassaree, the argument ensued after Carter and his wife got into a disagreement at the nightclub Sherrod operates at 2334 Gillespie Rd. near Prairie Point in the northeast section of the county.
Coroner Calhoun said it appears Sherrod was shot twice in the abdomen. "One of the wounds could be an exit wound, but from my initial investigation it appears to be two gunshot wounds," Calhoun said.
Sherrod's Facebook page shows his nightclub, Cashey's Bar and Grill, has been open since early 2016.
Sheriff Grassaree said there were other patrons in the club at the time of the shooting. Sherrod lives in a mobile home near the nightclub.
Sheriff Grassaree said information he's received is that Carter was asked to leave and then returned with the gun. He said it doesn't appear Sherrod or Martin had guns. "I believe Carter was the only one with a gun and the only one shooting," Sheriff Grassaree said.

April 3 is the ninety-sixth day of the year. In WWII, several important events happened, along with some that happened before the war, but still had a large impact.
Vladimir Lenin thought that Jospeh Stalin was a loyal ally, and when he got into trouble with several politicians, it was decided that Stalin would gain more power. Lev Kamenev, with the help of Lenin, appointed Stalin as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party.
Adolf Hitler orders the German military to prepare for Fall Weiss, a nickname for the first invasion to be planned on Poland, on August 25, but was later moved to September 1, the official start of the war.
Normandy replaces Poland as the headquarters for the Ministerial Defence Comittee.
An Axis government was formed in Iraq.
Also, Bristol, England, suffered its second heavy air attack by Axis soldiers.
Third, British troops finally destroyed the Italian armies that were holding Asmara, the capital of Eritrea.
Finally, Lietunant-General Erwin Rommel of the Axis captures Benghazi, Libya.
Racial tensions between US Maines and New Zealand troops from Māori, cause the Battle of Manners Street, a small riot outside of a New Zealand bar, in which no one was killed, but dozens were injured.

Regis Prograis knocks out Jose Zepeda in 11th place, capturing the WBC title
Leave a Comment / SPORTS / By bantintphcm
Regis Prograis' strength at the end was just too much for Jose Zepeda on Saturday night.
Prograis became a two-time 140-pound champion by defeating Zepeda early in round 11 of their fight for the WBC light-welterweight title at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Referee Ray Corona stopped his 12-round championship bout 59 seconds into round 11, right after Progress' left hand finally sent the stubborn Zepeda to the canvas.
Prograis won the WBC 140-pound crown that was vacated by Josh Taylor earlier this year in the main event of the five-fight pay-per-view.
The 33-year-old Prograis, a native of New Orleans, became the 140-pound bantamweight champion for the first time in three years. Prograis (28-1, 24 KOs) lost the WBA light heavyweight title to Taylor by majority decision in October 2019 at the O2 Arena in London and hopes to lure Taylor into a rematch.
Boxing and occasionally punching Saturday night, Progress became the first fighter to knock out 33-year-old Zepeda (36-3, 28 KOs, 2 NC), of La Puente, Calif. He also prevented Zepeda from finally becoming a world champion in the third title fight of Zepeda's 13-year professional career.
Prograis expressed his respect towards Zepeda during his post-fight interview with Raúl Márquez in the ring.
"Listen first," Progress said, "before I say anything I want to congratulate Jose Zepeda." "This guy is tough, tough, tough. Brother, he came to fight. He probably gave me one of the toughest fights. I'm not even going to lie. Like, this guy is tough. Brother, you're so tough. Brother, I've got so much respect for you." "And you set me up to get this belt and to carry this belt. So I congratulate you. All the best to you bro. Don't stop. I feel like you're still going to be world champ. You're good bro. You're real good. I wouldn't even lie. You're good."
The beginning of the end came 50 seconds into round 11, when Prograis stunned a depleted Zepeda with a left hand. Zepeda retreated towards the ropes and Prograis unloaded his power punches on him.
Progress sent Zepeda's left arm into the ropes and then into the bench of his trunks. Corona stopped the fighting immediately after Zepeda fell.
A right hook from Prograis had Zepeda hold him with less than 15 seconds on the clock in the tenth round.
Prograis landed a left to Zepeda's body forcing Zepeda to hold it with just over 2:15 left in the tenth round. They traded power punches in the middle of the ring before Prograis backed Zepeda into the ropes with a body kick.
Prograis left left landed over the top of Zepeda's jab with less than 50 seconds remaining in the ninth round. Several seconds later, Prograis backed Zepeda into the ropes and fired two shots into the body.
Prograis was more active and accurate in the eighth round. He also missed Zepeda's shots most of the time during those three minutes.
Prograis got a full extension with a left hand that blew Zepeda with 15 seconds on the clock in the seventh round.
A left hand backed Prograis Zepeda by just over 1:20 to go into the seventh round. Prograis stung Zepeda with a left hand while they were both standing in the center of the ring barely 30 seconds into the seventh round.
Zepeda pulled away from Prograis at times in the sixth round and tried to tie him up at the end of the round. Prograis drilled Zepeda with a jab just under a minute into the sixth round.
Zepeda and Prograis traded for most of the fifth round, but Prograis' punches seemed to have more impact. However, Zepeda landed right on the inside late in the fifth that prompted Prograis to chase him down.
Prograis' left hand appeared to open a cut around Zepeda's right eye with about 30 seconds left to go into the fourth round. Once Prograis noticed blood, he clipped Zepeda with a flowing right hook.
Prograis pinned Zepeda with a left hand that landed with just over 20 seconds to go in the third round. He caught a left from Prograis Zepeda with just over 1:40 on the clock going into the third round.
Prograis hooked with two left hands as Zepeda ducked into the corner 20 seconds into the third round.
With just over a minute left in the second round, Prograis drilled Zepeda with a counter left hand. Zepeda landed a left just after the halfway point of the second round.
A right hook from Zepeda connected with about 50 seconds on the clock in the opening round. A little later in the first round, Prograis landed a left to the body, but Zepeda immediately countered by raising his hand to Prograis' head.
Zepeda landed a left hand with less than 1:20 left to go into the first round.

Google Mapathon Provokes Police Investigation
Written by Teresa Scassa
Years ago I visited what was then Czechoslovakia shortly after the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. I remember commenting to a local on the difficulty of navigating the city with the available map. He laughed and remarked that the mapping policy of the government had been that if you were supposed to be somewhere, you knew how to get there. If you didn't know how to get there, you weren't supposed to be there. According to him, the official state maps implemented this policy. It was an interesting lesson in mapping as a method of social control.
Last week, a story in the Times of India announced that police in India had launched an investigation of Google for a mapathon it organized. The mapathon essentially invited Indians to contribute geographic information to the Google Earth platform with a view to creating richer and better maps of India. The company offered a variety of prizes and incentives to encourage participation.
The official Indian mapping agency, the Survey of India filed the complaint with the police, apparently alleging that the mapathon was both illegal and a threat to national security.
The case is an interesting one. It is certainly true that many states that are vulnerable to terrorism, seek to control public information about certain locations, facilities and installations as a security measure. Certainly, given recent events, no one would argue that the Indian government's concerns about terrorism are exaggerated. At the same time, in our digital, interactive world, ordinary citizens walk around with powerful computing, recording and communication devices in their purses and pockets. All manner of easily accessible apps and tools exist to create vast repositories of multimedia information about just about anything. In this context, it seems rather futile to resist participatory mapping projects on security grounds. After all, if ordinary citizens can gather and share sensitive geographical data using their mobile phones, so can terrorists. A major company like Google may well be receptive to genuine security concerns over particular data added to their collaborative maps, and might be persuaded to modify, blur or generalize certain entries.
Perhaps the bigger concern in this context is not so much security, as it is the shifting of control over mapmaking from a national mapping organization to a multinational corporation with its headquarters in another country. For countries with a history of oppressive colonization, this may seem like a threatening development. The Survey of India describes its mission in nationalistic terms: "Survey of India bears a special responsibility to ensure that the country's domain is explored and mapped suitably, provide base maps for expeditious and integrated development and ensure that all resources contribute with their full measure to the progress, prosperity and security of our country now and for generations to come." Maps have always been powerful political and social tools, and there is nothing neutral about how many states have chosen to represent geographic information. The loss of control over one's national maps to an outside entity may well be experienced as a loss of sovereignty.
But of course, sovereignty, in this context also involves the imposition of one story over alternative narratives. Digital technologies and a globalized society open the doors to competing accounts of our physical, social and political spaces – and such accounts are increasingly difficult to control. This conflict between Google and the Survey of India is almost certainly about more than national security, and the outcome of any police investigation may do little to tell us who the winners or losers will ultimately be.

Aside from a looming provincial government ruling and the company's final investment decision, court challenges are likely -- Northern Gateway was approved by government in 2014 only to have its permits struck down over the lack of consultations with indigenous communities.
"What is clear is there will be legal challenges," said Risa Schwartz, a research fellow specializing in international law at the Waterloo, Ontario-based Centre for International Governance Innovation. The government has tried to head off the same fate as Northern Gateway by adding additional indigenous consultation, which had been the Enbridge project's legal Achilles' heel.


Isadar: Solo Piano, Volume 2 is the second installment in a series of four (so far) DVDs of Isadar's live performance and music videos from his six (so far) solo piano recordings. Each DVD has an assortment of pieces from each album, except In Search For the Meaning of Christmas, which has its own DVD. The live performances are filmed from a variety of angles, making it easy and interesting to watch Isadar's hands as he plays. There are also quite a few montages that show several different views at once. This is not only educational for those who want to play Isadar's music themselves, but it also keeps the visuals exciting and dynamic.
The two music videos on this DVD are from Isadar's 2003 release, The Purple Heart, which is an incredible hour-long improvisation honoring those who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy. Isadar presents the album as a series of thirteen tracks that flow together on the album, but each has a beginning and end for purposes of making videos and allowing the tracks to be played one at a time. The first video is "New York City Skyline," which features ever-moving film footage of the skyline at night. The second is "Ice," with gorgeous footage of snow and ice in New York City (I assume) as well as of Isadar out walking in the bitter cold. I was familiar with all of the pieces on this DVD, except for "Letting Go," which is from Isadar's upcoming solo piano CD called Red. It's a great piece, so this "sneak peek" into the new album shows great promise!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, and highly recommend it. It is currently available only from isadar.com.


Monday night - 2 if we can hitch a ride with someone!
Keep posting your meal selections, please.
unfortunately, Barbara has taken a bad fall that has left her badly bruised and sore - thankfully nothing broken!
so I'm stepping in to help her out while she's recouperating and have posted all the food up sign ups to this point! No, it isn't as professional as hers!
We would also like to add Monday night to our reservation.
For those of you who thought I must have fallen off the face of the earth because I have not been posting any of the meals, you would have been almost right. I went to a training class for my job and when I arrived I fell (hard) face first onto the concrete....in front of my boss, his boss, and about 2 dozen of my co-workers. I ended up in the Emergency Room. I still have a few scrapes on my face and some banged up knees (they were already in bad shape) and have spent every minute I was at home sleeping and trying to recover.
I apologize to everyone who has been waiting for me to post their meals. I will start working on this tonight and continue tomorrow until I can catch up.

Celebrated Prince Charles
His Royal Highness Prince Charles celebrated his 70th birthday today. Their Majesties The King and Queen and Their Royal Highnesses The Crown Prince and Crown Princess joined in the celebration at Buckingham Palace in London Tuesday evening.
Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is hosting a large, black-tie banquet at Buckingham Palace in honour of her son. King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit are among the many invited guests.
The gala banquet at Buckingham Palace is being held in the Palace ballroom, with the Prince seated next to his mother. Members of the Royal Houses from throughout Europe took part in today's 70th birthday celebration.

Documentary portrait of the Prince
During the birthday celebration at the Palace, the BBC will be airing a documentary about the Prince of Wales. Prince Charles is passionately committed to helping those who are less fortunate, and in 1976 he founded the Prince's Trust. The Trust helps young people who are unemployed or in other difficult circumstances to learn a vocation or even start their own business. Since its founding, 900 000 young people have taken part in projects organised under the Prince's Trust.
Prince Charles has also been involved in environmental protection activities for several decades. The heir to the British throne has followed organic practices at his private Highgrove Royal Gardens in Gloucestershire for a long time. He was also one of the first voices warning about the environmental threat posed by plastic pollution in the oceans.
"He really wants to save the world," said his wife, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall, in the BBC documentary. The Prince is known for speaking out on topics about which he feels deeply, but emphasised in the documentary that he would not continue in the same vein once he became monarch.

Value Stream Mapping is a planning tool to help companies focus on when and where they should apply Lean concepts to get the most impact. The VSM process consists of identifying value streams/product groups in the organization, mapping a current state of material and information flow and assessing the inherent wastes and designing a future state of how the value stream is desired to perform. The result is an implementation plan that clearly prioritizes when and where to focus improvements and how each improvement will help achieve the future state. After the event, you will have a current-state map, future-state map and an implementation plan of your own value stream.

Cary Grant's 'friendship' with the devastatingly handsome Randolph Scott was remarkably open and fairly candid in the dangerously oppressed 1930s.There were several photo shoots for the fan magazines of the two 'merry bachelors,' who for several years shared a beach house in Santa Monica, as well as a mansion in the Los Feliz area of Los Angeles, which was commonly referred to in the press as 'Bachelor Hall,' both before, during, and after their seven marriages to women they had seven between them. The photos included in this article, are just a few of the many that exist, where it so perfectly clear that they were much more than just 'roommates.' It's obvious that they shared a great love and were just about the most physically gorgeous couple in Hollywood history."
Cary Grant was born January 18, 1904 in Bristol, England with the unfortunate name of Archibald Leach. When Archie was only 9, his father put Archie's mother in a mental hospital, remarried and then abandoned Archie to the care of the state. He died November 29, 1986 at the age of 82 in Daventport, Iowa. Randolph Scott was born January 23, 1898 in Orange County, Virginia and died March 2nd, 1987 at the age of 89 in Beverly Hills, California.
By the age of 14 he was expelled from school and joined a traveling vaudeville show as a stilt-walker. At the age of 16, he left England for a two year tour of the American vaudeville circuit with his British troupe. Soon he was working with an American troupe in St. Louis where he mastered acrobatics, mime and juggling. After a stint on Broadway, Archie moved to west to California and soon signed a contract with Paramount Studios under his new name of Cary Grant. In spite of his poor background and his vaudeville past, he would constantly be cast as a wealthy sophisticate.
George Randolph Scott's early years were almost the exact opposite of Cary Grant's. George was born in 1898 to a well off family. As a child growing up in Virginia, he lived a life of privilege. George's parents made sure that he attended the best private schools and that he had a happy and care free childhood. After serving in World War I, going to college and a brief stint in the family business; George eventually decided on a career in acting. George's father knew Howard Hughes, who was making films at that time, and arranged an introduction for his son. Soon known as Randolph Scott, he was only getting bit parts and was little more than window dressing. On the advice of director Cecil B. Demille, Scott gained some much needed acting experience by performing in local productions at the Pasadena Playhouse. The work paid off and soon he was landing larger roles.
Cary and Randolph met on the set of the 1932 movie, "Hot Saturday." The attraction was mutual and they quickly began spending all of their free time together. Their friends from that period said that the two handsome young actors lived together openly and began traveling in Hollywood's gay social circles.A few years before, Cary Grant had lived openly with gay Hollywood designer, Orry-Kelly.
Cary and Randolph shared a Santa Monica beach house as well as a mansion in Los Feliz at 2177 West Live Oak Drive. They would live together for a total of 11 years, longer than most Hollywood marriages.
A closeted gay journalist named Ben Maddox wrote a profile of the two bachelors for Modern Screen in 1933. The photos show Cary Grant and Randolph Randolph sharing house and living a very cozy and domestic life at the beach. Maddox used various code words in his story that would identify them as a couple to gay readers. These photos of them wearing aprons were apparently too much for heterosexual columnists who ridiculed the two men and implied that there was "something" between them.
In 1934, the studio "encouraged" Grant to marry in order to kill the gay rumors that were swirling around the two young actors. In February of 1934, he married Virginia Cherril and 13 months later she divorced him, claiming that he had hit her. Virginia also said the Grant was constantly drunk and sullen and never showed any sexual interest. There is an unconfirmed rumor that Cary had been so depressed by his situation that he even attempted suicide. An attempted suicide was something that the studios would have done everything in their power to hush up; so that may be why there is no real evidence of it happening.
Their good friend, Carole Lombard, when joking about Grant notorious cheapness said "Their relationship is perfect. Randy pays the bills and Cary mails them." Between the two of them, they had 7 failed marriages, but they were most likely marriages of convenience.
Cary and Randolph remained extremely close their entire lives. The maître d' at the Beverly Hillcrest Hotel saw both actors in the 1970s, sitting in the back of the restaurant, long after the place had emptied. Cary Grant and Randolph Scott were sitting alone, quietly holding hands.

US military probing number of civilians killed in Yemen raid
Although Pentagon claimed 14 people died in the attack, Medics on the spot said at least 30 people were killed.

The US military said authorities were investigating to determine if there were any still-undetected civilian casualties - file photo Getty
The United States military on Wednesday (1 February) said that it was unclear how many civilians were killed in an air strike on al Qaeda target in Yemen over the weekend and authorities were investigating to "determine if there were any still-undetected civilian casualties in the ferocious firefight."
In a statement US Central Command said that a team probing the issue "has concluded regrettably that civilian non-combatants were likely killed in the midst of a firefight during a raid in Yemen January 29. Casualties may include children."

US commando killed as dawn attack in Yemen leaves 14 al-Qaida fighters dead
Although Pentagon claimed the raid in al-Bayda province killed 14 members of the militant group al-Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), Medics on the scene said that at least 30 people died out of which 10 were women and children.
Local sources also said that an 8-year-old American girl named Nawar al-Awlaki was also killed in the attack. She is the daughter of a senior al-Qaeda cleric and US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed in 2011 in a drone strike.
Meanwhile, three military officials told Reuters that the attacking SEAL team faced hostile conditions as President Trump approved his first covert counter terrorism operation without enough intelligence, back up preparation and ground support.
The SEAL team landed on an al-Qaeda base rigged with landmines, snipers and a much bigger group of heavily armed jihadists than expected, the report said.
The authorities in the military who spoke to the news agency on condition of anonymity said that a "brutal fire fight" caused the death of Chief Petty Officer William Ryan Owens and 15 Yemeni children and women. It also wounded three other commandos while a $75m aircraft had to be destroyed.
According to New York Times, former president Barack Obama's national security aides had reviewed plans for an attack the brick home of a senior al-Qaeda leader in Central Yemen, but Obama reportedly did not act on the information because the Pentagon had planned to launch the attack on a moonless night while the second attack would come after his tenure had ended.
One of the three officials told Reuters, "The decision was made ... to leave it to the incoming administration, partly in the hope that more and better intelligence could be collected."
On Wednesday, Trump visited the Dover Air Force Base in Delaware to meet Owens' family.

Wavve: Making $76k a Month Turning Podcasts into Videos
In 2015, Baird partnered up with Nick to launch a social network that combined Reddit, Twitter and audio. After 2 years and $30k lost, they shut down but decided to convert one of their internal tools into a SaaS. Through word of mouth and content marketing, the startup has grown to $76k in MRR.
Baird Hall
Hi Baird! What's your background, and what are you currently working on?
Howdy! 👋🤠 I'm Baird. I'm 33 and based in Charleston, SC. I am a founder at Wavve, Zubtitle, and a founding partner at Lofi Ventures.
Most of my day job is running Wavve alongside Nick Fogle & Rob Moore. Wavve is a SaaS product that helps podcasters, musicians, and other audio creators to promote their content on social media. Here are a few examples:
Our business model is typical SaaS. We offer monthly and annual subscriptions that range between $8 and $60 per month. We currently have about 6,000 active subscribers.
What's your backstory and how did you come up with the idea?
My first job out of college after studying communications was with a large software company in Charleston answering Tier 1 support calls. We supported an enterprise CRM product for non-profits. Then I moved into sales as an early employee at a local startup (also in non-profit tech), so most of my background is in support & sales/marketing.
I was pretty lucky to have opportunities in tech and work with a growing startup to learn skills. The support job taught me how to work with existing customers and how to listen properly to help them solve a problem. As a sales-engineer, I was able to work between the sales & engineering team to help them with demos, scopes, technical evaluations, etc.,
I got married in January 2015 and in February, I told my wife I wanted to quit my job and start a company. It was the first she had heard of this 😬😬
I kept telling her about all my ideas and she finally forced me to meetup with one of her close friend's husband, Nick, who was also driving his wife crazy. We were both getting the entrepreneurial itch. Our wives got tired of hearing all about our ideas and forced us to go get coffee and talk to each other about them.
We started in 2015 with an attempt to build a new kind of social network. One where you followed radio shows, podcasts, topics, and other subjects and verbally talked with other fans about them instead of typing. Think Reddit crossed with audio & Twitter.
Long story short, we launched the product in 2015. It took on a few different iterations as we pivoted around looking for product market fit. We found it with consumers but never actually built a business around it.
I had already left my job and was working on this full time hoping to raise money, which never happened. Trying to simultaneously bootstrap the product, gain initial traction, and fundraise was really stressful. It felt like we were grasping for straws with any partnership we could find or feature we could build. We lost about 2 years of our time and $30k of my savings (which was most of it).
We held on to the dream way too long. We kept chasing the next feature, the next business model idea, the next big partnership, etc., until we ran out of time & money.
How did you build Wavve?
We actually built Wavve as an internal marketing tool just before we sold the codebase and IP of the previous company (even with the sale, we were still way in the hole).
We wanted to share audio from our social network on social media but realized very quickly that it isn't possible to do that. Nick built the initial version of a weekend but it was only used internally. I had to commit images & design specs to Github to update the hard coded templates that were in place. It was a pretty manual process but I was able to navigate it fairly well and use it for social media marketing.
Once we realized the original company wasn't going to work out, we started creating 'audiograms' for podcasters and showing them how it works. We got interested on social media pretty quickly and realized there was a market for this product.
The original web app was built using angular.js, node.js, and mongoDB. We used a few open source libraries including FFMEG to create the animations. The original infrastructure wasn't extremely efficient as it relied on large EC2 instances behind a load balancer. However, our usage was fairly predictable so we were able to scale it up and down manually as needed.
Getting those first 10/100+ customers was really hard. We relied primarily on direct outreach via cold email and social media messaging to obtain those first customers. Taking the time to reach out directly to customers for a $7/month plan was painful but the insights we gained from those conversations was invaluable. We learned why customers purchased the product and that helped inform our content marketing strategy which started working after about 6 months.
We never did an official launch of any kind. We just pushed the app live and used direct emailing, social media outreach, and constant product development based on feedback. We also learned pretty quickly that podcasters don't have large budgets (if any), and needed a price point around the $10-20 per month range for this type of product. That meant that we needed to go for a large number of customers to make this a full time gig for us.
Which were your marketing strategies to grow your business?
When we launched the first version of Wavve we didn't have an audience and thanks to our failed startup the year before, we didn't have any funds. The only real resource we had was time (outside of freelancing to pay the bills) so we started with direct sales. Direct sales was a great way to validate the product and ensure that we people would pay for the product.
It seems obvious now but podcasting was really starting to hit its stride in 2016 & 17 so we decided early on to double down on podcasters. We built some scraping tools to build a list of podcasters and began reaching out to them personally via email. The results came in slowly but this was a great strategy to test our messaging, pricing, and packaging.
Once we realized our price point was going to fall between the $10-$30 range, we knew we had to find something more scalable. We then started focusing on content marketing through our blog. We started with simple how-to pieces and then graduated to more podcast focused content. Our approach wasn't very scientific. We simply put ourselves in the shoes of our target customers (podcasters that also have a related business) and wrote content around how to start, launch, and grow a podcast.
Traction has always been slow and linear for us. We never really hit any specific inflection point that made us feel like the business was going to "make it". Rather, we just keep being consistent with content marketing and social media. With every month of growth, our monthly recurring revenue began to grow
We have been lucky in that our product creates shareable social content. This naturally encourages word of mouth growth. Once we noticed this happening, we really doubled down on making sure our product made videos stand out on social media. The more we could get people asking "Wow. How did you make that video?", the more referrals we would get.
We focused a lot on creating high-quality, custom audio animations. These animations are a staple of our product and while we had competitors, no one has animations quite like ours. Making sure these animations and other video elements stand out from the rest was key.
Revenues growth has always been linear and predictable with consistent month over month growth:
We have kept the team lean with only 3 equity partners and a small team of contractors that help with support, marketing, and engineering. Running lean has allowed us to really focus on product development to deliver more features to our customers. Most notably, we were able to complete a massive project for supporting subtitles/captions within Wavve videos.
What are your goals for the future?
For the last year, our north star metric has been 1M ARR. It's a bit arbitrary and alone doesn't tell the story of a healthy business so we also want to ensure we are keeping our profit margins in the same ballpark they are in now (70% - 80%). We are hoping to hit this by Q3 2020.
Around the same time, we want to find an operator (or team of operators) to come help continue the business forward. At heart, we are creators and at a certain point it will be time for us to transition the project so we can create other things.
We also run another SaaS product called Zubtitle which is growing rapidly and we have a few other concepts we are working on this year under the Lofi Ventures brands.
What were the biggest challenges you faced and obstacles you overcame?
It's funny, our biggest disadvantages have almost become some of our biggest advantages.
The disadvantages we started with were our price point, time, and our market. Podcasters generally don't have much a budget for tools outside of their hosting platform (most podcasters don't make any revenue). As a result, we had to set our price fairly low to start. We also didn't have an audience and the podcast market is very fragmenting. This made getting started very slow.
When we started, I had just spent a year with no-pay trying to get our startup off the ground (which failed) and Nick had recently passed the bar (he is a lawyer) and decided to become a software engineer. I didn't have much money left and Nick had a mountain of student debt. Becoming a lawyer isn't cheap after all.
These two disadvantages made us build the business slowly while also freelancing on the side. We had to be patient and watch the business grow while constantly re-evaluating whether or not it would be a side project or could become a full time gig.
Which are your greatest disadvantages? What were your worst mistakes?
Our main disadvantages when we got started was a lack of experience and capital and a naivety around building products. We didn't understand how to properly evaluate a market, do customer discovery, and make fast decisions while attempting to get the business off the ground.
We made a lot of mistakes along the way. Our biggest mistake before Wavve was relying on feature development to drive traction rather than use marketing & transaction to fill our funnel. We fell into the feature fallacy and thought the next big feature would set us on the right course.
We also commonly made the mistake of listening to the loud minority. Say 10 users come in the funnel: 4 would convert and one would be upset. We would listen to that one upset user and let them drive product development rather than listening to the happy 4 customers that paid.
One example of this was all the time we spent supporting social integrations for a small set of very vocal users that wanted to post to social directly from our app when the majority were fine downloading the mp4 video and uploading themselves.
I sometimes think we might have taken too long to pay ourselves. We were so desperate to get the business to a certain revenue point that we never were able to feel the effect of SaaS revenue in our own pockets. I would suggest founders to pay themselves something as soon as possible.
If you had the chance to do things differently, what would you do?
The first thing I would tell my former self is to relax. Entrepreneurship is much more of a journey than it is building your first business. I would spend much time pressuring myself and worrying about making it work that I would cloud my vision when it came to making business decisions.
Instead of forcing that first businesses until the last minute, I wish we would have cut our losses sooner and moved on to the next thing.
I also spent a lot of time early worrying about what people in our startup community would think if I failed. I felt a lot of pressure from that, which was useless. And as it turns out, we did fail and then became a success that no one has heard about.
Cutting the cord on the B2C venture-backed play could have saved us a lot of time and money. We also always knew we didn't really want to run an investor-backed company but we pressed forward because it was the only option we saw ahead of us at that time.
What are some sources for learning you would recommend for entrepreneurs who are just starting?
I think podcasts are great for when you are just starting out. They give you so much more context around what it is like to start a business. I really enjoy these:
Indie Hackers Podcast
Startups for the Rest of Us
Startup (Gimlet)
How I Made This
There are a few books that I have really enjoyed that helped me think about how to work and how to approach entrepreneurship:
When - Daniel Plink
Thinking in Bets - Annie Duke
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck - Mark Manson
Principles - Ray Diallo
Traction - Justin Mares
Without Their Permission - Ben Horowitz
Secrets of Question-Based Selling - Thomas Freese
I also love everything that the Knowledge Project by Shane Parrish does (podcast & blog).

Edam Cheese is named after the town of the same name where it originated. Edam, the town, is located in North Holland. From the 1300s through the 1700s, Edam was the world's most popular cheese, due to the fact that as Edam ages, it does not spoil, but rather hardens. This fact made Edam a great choice for those and who spent long periods of time at sea and abroad. In the 1600s the French began making their own Edam, now called Mimolette, when King Louis XIV prohibited imports from Holland. Up until the 1800s Edam was made of whole milk, but today Edam is made from skimmed or partially skimmed milk.
Edam appeals to people of all ages as it has a smooth, sweet and nutty flavor. As Edam ages its flavor intensifies. Edam pairs well with fruit, and is particularly tasty when served with dark beer.

Frank Vogel says Dwight Howard has the potential to be one of the best role players in the NBA
While there are skeptics when it comes to whether or not Dwight Howard can make a positive impact on the Lakers this year, Frank Vogel isn't one of them.
By Harrison Faigen@hmfaigen Sep 14, 2019, 12:58pm PDT
Share All sharing options for: Frank Vogel says Dwight Howard has the potential to be one of the best role players in the NBA
At this point it seems safe to guess that new Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach Frank Vogel is a big fan of the team's addition of Dwight Howard.
After DeMarcus Cousins was lost for the season with an ACL injury, the Lakers were left to scrape the bottom of the barrel in free agency. While that obviously wasn't the team's Plan A, Vogel does seem to think the front office made the best decision possible in adding Howard.
Vogel has previously said that he believes that Howard has changed his ways and understands he's more of a role player now. In a Q&A session with Steve Aschburner of NBA.com, Vogel added that he actually thinks Howard can excel in such a role (emphasis mine):
SA: Where is Dwight Howard at physically and mentally? Do you have a sense for what he wants to accomplish now and for his legacy with however much longer he hopes to play?
FV: I think he's excited about this opportunity with the Lakers. It's very different from the first time he came through. Then, he was a mega-star coming in with two other mega-stars [Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash]. This time around, he's had a few teams where they haven't had great success. And he's at a different point, age-wise, in his career. So he's excited just to be part of something, in any way he can help. He knows it's going to be more of a role player type of role.
SA: And that's acceptable to him?
FV: It's definitely acceptable. He's excited about it. And he has the ability to be one of the best at it in the league. He's going to be concentrating on that. I'll be defining what we'll expecting of him, in terms of defending and rebounding and screen-setting and lob-catching and all those things. He's willing to accept any role that I lay out in front of him. We've had a great start to our relationship. He's in a great place mentally.
Howard has previously stated that he sees his role in much the same way that Vogel just outlined, so the good news for the team is that they seem to be on the same page so far.
But the issue with Howard has never really been that he hasn't said the right things at the start of his fresh starts. It's whether or not he actually delivers on his words for an entire season. Thus far in his career he has mostly been unwilling to change the way he wants to play, but maybe going unwanted all the way into August was a wake-up call. There are reasons to be skeptical that Howard has changed or can help, but things like what Vogel is saying above are among the reasons to be optimistic.
And if Howard actually commits to just rebounding, defending, screening and finishing? Then he could not only make an impact, he could be exactly what the Lakers needed.
Would that make Howard one of the best role players in the league, as Vogel suggests he could be? That probably depends on how one defines the category, but ultimately the only thing that matters is how good of a role player he is for the Lakers specifically.
It's also fair to point out that part of this is just that it's September right now, and training camp hasn't begun yet. Everyone in the league is optimistic about every player on their team, at least publicly. Vogel has also said Phil Jackson is a big coaching influence on him, and this could be him channeling his inner Zen Master to coach Howard a bit through the media, to make sure his new center — who has struggled with not getting credit in the past — feels like he's being properly appreciated for the touches and opportunities he probably feels like he's sacrificing.
But whatever Vogel actually believes, with Anthony Davis not wanting to play center a ton, the Lakers will need either Howard or JaVale McGee (or both) to play well enough to stay on the floor for extended stretches in the regular season. If they can't, the team might be in a bit of trouble. Howard accepting his role will go a long way towards the former happening, and so all Lakers fans should be hoping that Vogel is right about how Howard is approaching things.
Only time will tell if he is.
Reacts: What grade do the Lakers get for the Rui Hachimura trade? The Lakers finally made a trade this season in acquiring Rui Hachimura from the Wizards. What grade do they deserve for the deal?
LeBron James voted captain of All-Star Game for sixth-straight year The streak continues for LeBron James as he will once again be a captain in the All-Star Game for 2023, an honor he's received every year the league has done captains.
Darvin Ham, Rob Pelinka, LeBron James react to Rui Hachimura trade While he did not play on Tuesday, Rui Hachimura joined the Lakers and his new teammates, coach and front office reacted to acquiring him.

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (A)
In: Ahlul-Bayt
Prophecy of Prophet Muhammad (SAW)
The Prophet had told his companion Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari that he would live to see his great, great grandson who would have the same name as himself and would be granted light and wisdom. The Prophet asked Jabir to convey his greetings to the Imam.
Many years later Jabir did just that to the young Imam. By this time Jabir was very old man and had also lost his eyesight.
HIS TITLES
Al-Baqir
Baqir means to split open. He is known as Al-Baqir for two reasons.
1. Baqir ul Ulum – One who split open knowledge.
The Prophet had said "God sends a person in every century with the responsibility of revitalising and spreading the religion" (Mujaddid).
In the 1st century it was Imam Mohammed Al-Baqir (A) His Imamate was during a time when several threats faced Islam.
(i)With the conquest of Iran and Rome, philosophy and new ideas came to Arabia. The simple minded Arabs got deviated and started 'Innovations'-Kiyaas [this means they tried to use their own reasoning when they faced questions or problems (masail).
(ii)The Khalifa's were occupied in achieving more power, 'looting' of new countries but were reluctant at having new converts to Islam as this would stop jizya (tax paid by non-Muslims) to come to the treasuries.
Islamic rule extended from Marrakesh to Mongolia.
iii) Imam lived in a time of rulers who claimed to be the representatives of the Prophet (SAW) but their behaviour was as follows:
WALEED IBN ABDUL MALIK (86 AH)
He poisoned the 4th Imam.
Was drunk most of the time.
Once sent a slave girl dressed in his clothes to lead fajr prayers.
SULAYMAN BIN ABDUL MALIK (96 AH)
Was very fond of eating.
Died of overeating.
UMAR BIN ABDUL AZIZ (99 AH)
Mentioned later on
YAZID BIN ABDUL MALIK (101 AH)
Allowed slave girl Hubaba to judge.
When she died lived with her corpse as normal.
Wouldn't allow her to be buried.
HISHAM BIN ABDUL-MALIK (105 AH)
Who poisoned 5th Imam.
2. For his worship (ibadat)
Imam used to worship Allah with such devotion that from prostrations his forehead had split. This is another reason for his title Baqir.
HIS LIFE AND WORKS
Imam Mohammed Baqir's (A) main mission and message was knowledge. He encouraged his followers to acquire a Muslim character and to have excellent morals-akhlaq, and disperse in the world for this was the best form of tableegh. He once told his companion Jabir bin Yazid Al-Jufi :
"There is no Shia who has no taqwa and no obedience to Allah"
ie. One cannot call oneself a Shia without these two qualities.
He also talked of 12 signs of a Shia :
Humility, fear of Allah, trustworthiness, remembrance of Allah, fasts, prays salaa, is good to parents, good to neighbours, is responsible towards widows, orphans & children, fulfils his/her vows, pays back his/her debts, & recites the Qur'an.
When Umar bin Abdul Aziz became Khalifa in 99 A.H. he called Imam and asked him for some advice.
Imam gave him 3 pieces of advice:-
1. Do not ever celebrate any occasion with excessive happiness which makes you forget 'halal' & 'haraam'.
2. Never lose yourself in anger so that you forget 'halal' & 'haraam'.
3 Never take away (usurp) anyone's property.
On hearing the third piece of advice Umar bin Abdul Aziz returned to Imam Mohammed Al-Baqir (A) the garden of Fadak (it was this garden which Abu Bakr had snatched from Sayyida Fatima Zehra (A). His advisors tried to stop him but he did not listen to them [it was Umar bin Abdul Aziz who stopped the cursing of Imam Ali (A) in the mosques]
SUMMARY OF HIS LIFE WORKS (Imamat)
In an environment where conversion to Islam was discouraged and where the Khalifas were engrossed in the world and had no morals and were unjust; it was the light and character of Imam Mohammed Al-Baqir (A.S.) which kept the message of the true Islam alive.
It was he who collected the saying of the Prophet and 'Aimma in the form of books establishing the laws of Fiqh as we know them today.
In 114 AH Hisham bin Abdul Malik arranged with Zaid bin Hasan (an uncle of Imam) to deliver a poisoned saddle to Imam as a gift. Imam was thus poisoned and died after 3 days of illness. His son Imam Ja'fer As-Sadiq (A) buried him in Jannatul Baqee near Imam Hasan (A)
Once a Christian asked the Imam about the Muslim belief that the fruits of Paradise are not reduced by eating and asked if such an example was available in the world. Imam replied that it was like a lamp. One may have a hundred thousand lamps lit from one lamp, but it would still not reduce the light of the original lamp.
Before his death he called the people of Madina saying that it would be Imam Ja'fer As-Sadiq (A) who would give him 'ghusl' and 'kafan', thus informing them of the next Imam.
He had seven children: Ja'fer (6th Imam) (A); Abdullah; Ibrahim; Ubaydulla; Ali; Zaynab and Salma
The Imam gave much importance in having majlis for Imam Husayn (A); encouraging them as much as possible.
Mohammed bin Munkadir; a great 'Shaykh' of the time once saw Imam working in the fields under the hot sun. He went up to the Imam and told him if death came to him then (whilst working in the fields) what would he do as he was seeking worldly benefit. Imam answered that if death came to him then it was whilst be was obeying God; he would only fear if death came whilst he was disobeying Allah.
