The hipster side of Berlin
Posted on July 6, 2017 by Aiko Sumichan
by Hui Jun Chia
One could mistake the artsy, vibrant Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg in Berlin as just another bustling capital city with typical restaurants and shopping brands lining its streets. However, this very place belies a solemn history of liberation and democracy won by its people through peaceful protests which eventually led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany.
During the years of the Cold War, a wall erected by East Germany, which was claimed to prevent the spread of fascism, separated Western and Eastern Germany. Actually, what it did was to thwart refugees from East Germany from fleeing persecution and dictatorship to the West. Today, visitors and tourists mill about East Side Gallery, a memorial with sections of the Berlin Wall exhibited.
As part of the historical and solidarity visits, the delegates of the 2017 General Council of World Communion of Reformed Churches were introduced to the city of Berlin through bus tours on 2 July taking them to the different parts of town. According to the tour guide as the group of participants of the Council cruised along the streets with remnants of the Berlin Wall behind them, police are deployed in anticipation of protests that still happen today.
The overcoming of the Iron Curtain has paved the way to a melting pot of around three million people from different cultures and artistic pursuits and expressions. This former East Berlin area with its light-hearted city buzz is home to Berlin's hipsters and people from France, Czech Republic, Slovenia and all over Europe. Its bars, clubs and nightlife is where hipsters all over the world arrive in search of the coolest, hippest places to be in.
The group passed by a street which was home to cabarets of Romanians and Hungarians during the 19th century, and these dancing balls are being revived today. As for religious institutions, churches with dwindling membership have been rented out and refashioned for other uses, or even for refugees to be housed in temporary quarters. The bus also turned into the seedy side of town, where efforts had been made for a clean-up its undesirable reputation.
An echo of the past, perhaps, was that some graffiti with symbols, letters and numbers have political undertones. The graffiti were something that any tourist would at first glance dismiss as regular artistic expressions scattered throughout the streets in Germany, but a befitting ode to the pivotal moment in history when the Iron Curtain fell, bringing with it freedom, reunification and solidarity.

The Globetrotters was founded in 1926 in Chicago where all the players grew up. It started off as the Savoy Big Five and was a big attraction. Later, a dispute arose and a separate team called "Chicago Globetrotters" was formed by one of the team member Tommy Brookins. After Abe Saperstein became the manager of the team and they started touring tirelessly in Iowa and Illinois, the team was called "NewYork Harlem Globetrotters" in 1928. The team was finally named "Harlem Globetrotters in 1929 and the name is same since then.
The Herschend Family Entertainment owns the Harlem Globetrotters and is known globally for its mastery over the game. The president of the team is Howard Smith while Jimmy Blacklock, Lou Dunbar and Barry Hardy coach them.
With blue, white and red as colors of the team, the Harlem Globetrotters always put up an exciting show for all the spectators. The mascot of the team is called "Globie" while their iconic song is a whistled variation of the track "Sweet Georgia Brown" by Brother Bones.
The DCU Center in Worcester is a huge arena that has been host to many big sports events. It has a seating capacity of over 13,000 with a commendable infrastructure so it will be a treat for all the fans to see the Harlem Globetrotters play in Worcester.
The Harlem Globetrotters have a huge fan following and are known to play around 450 live events every year around the world. Their fans can't wait to grab the Harlem Globetrotters Worcester MA tickets at the earliest because they are selling out like hot cakes.

Bernie Hare is on a mission, and I am more than willing to go along with where he leads. I have spent the last 16 years of my life trying to give something back, and if I can improve that ability by observing the Shed Crew's world, I will do it happily.
The present situation with this group has probably not changed much hence the reason for the movie. Hare wants to get the word out even more than the book was able to facilitate, and I embrace what he's doing heartily. Yep, I already said it again but I feel compelled to say it again. There is nothing more heartbreaking than to watch people, kids in particular, go off the cliff, and you know it doesn't have to be that way. You want to try almost anything to keep it from happening.
Thank you, Mr. Hare for what you are doing.

CroisiEurope inaugurates the MS Elbe Princesse
© O. Asmussen
Published on : 04/14/2016
On Thursday, April 14, 2016 at 11:00 a.m., the Schmitter family inaugurated their new ship, the MS ELBE PRINCESSE, in Tegel Berlin. This is CroisiEurope's second paddle riverboat. About one hundred guests attended the christening of the ship in Tegel Berlin, performed by Father Matthias Brühe from the Katholische Pfarrei Herz Jesu.
To symbolize the friendship between France and Germany, the company chose godparents from each country: Ms. Anke Rehlinger, minister of economic affairs in Saarland, Germany, and Mr. Jean-Claude Tribolet representing Mr. Philippe Etienne, the French ambassador.
This new paddle riverboat will cruise between Berlin and Prague on the Elbe and Vltava Rivers starting April 19. Its adapted size lets it enter and moor in the heart of city centers, allowing easy access to all the most important sites in Berlin, the emblematic capital; Potsdam and the gardens at the Sanssouci Palace; Lutherstadt Wittenberg, birthplace of the Reformation; Meissen and its porcelain factories; Dresden, the Florence of the Elbe; the natural and architectural wonders of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains; historical Litomerice; and "Golden" Prague.
With this new cruising concept inspired by the machinery of yesteryear and enhanced with ultra-modern technology, CroisiEurope has outdared navigational constraints. Unlike classic propulsion vessels, this prestigious ship can cruise the shallow waters of the Elbe all year round. To top it off, it can travel right into the center of Prague.
Built at the Saint-Nazaire shipyard, a mark of French quality, the ship measures 313 feet long and 33 feet wide and has two decks and two stern paddlewheels. Its 40 spacious cabins all face outward, can accommodate up to 79 passengers, and provide a maximum of onboard comfort: Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and heating, flat-screen TV, radio, hair dryer and safe. A panoramic-view restaurant serves all the passengers in one seating, and a lounge area with a bar and dance floor is a great place to meet up with family and friends. Chaise lounges on the sun deck let passengers relax as they watch the scenery roll by. The ship is finely decorated and perfectly in sync with the warm hospitality found on board.

Beginning in 2017, there's something for everyone in the new Discovery Package!

Q: PHP: Handling loops and replacement correctly While programming my game, I ran into an issue when working with our genetics. The long and short of our genetics is that they can be utilized and analyzed in several ways. They are broken into B/b/b1/b2, O/o, W/w, and C/c1/c2 at this time.
The problem with the code occurs at this point when handling the C/c1/c2 portion of a string that is equal to 6. I had to utilize the current code to get it to not add extra C/c1/c2 sequences, however, it runs into an issue where it is not adding them to a genetic code that might be BBooww-- (where -- is C/c1/c2 sequence) and often adds to many to a sequence like bbooww--c2c2 (our Pink Albino sequence).
Below is the foreach and if statements I am using. Any help in shortening or optimizing it would be
$coat_genes = str_split($coat_combination);
$full_coat_combination = "";

foreach($coat_genes as $coat_gene)
{
    if ($coat_gene != "-")
    {
        $full_coat_combination.= $coat_gene;
        continue;
    } else {

        if (strlen($full_coat_combination) <= 4 && strpos(strtolower($full_coat_combination), "oo") === false)
        {
            $o = "";

            $chance = rand(1, 2);

            $o .= ($chance == 1)
                ? "O"
                : "o";

            if ($o == "O")
            {
                $chance = rand(1, 2);

                $o .= ($chance == 1)
                    ? "O"
                    : "o";

            } else {
                $o .= "o";
            }

            $full_coat_combination .= $o;
        }

        if (strlen($full_coat_combination) <= 6 && strpos(strtolower($full_coat_combination) , "ww") === false)
        {
            $w = "";

            $chance = rand(1, 2);

             $w .= ($chance == 1)
                ? "W"
                : "w";

            if ($w == "W")
            {

                    ? "W"
                    : "w";
            } else {
                $w .= "w";
            }

            $full_coat_combination .= $w;
        }

        if (strlen($full_coat_combination) > 6

        {
            $c = "";

            $chance = rand(1, 3);

            if ($chance == 1)
            {
                $c.= "C";

            } elseif ($c == "c1") {
                $c.= "c1";
            } else {
                $c.= "c2";
            }

            if ($c == "C")
            {
                $chance = rand(1, 3);

                if ($chance == 1)
                {
                    $c.= "C";
                } elseif ($chance == 2) {
                    $c.= "c1";
                } else {
                    $c.= "c2";
                }
            } else {
                $chance = rand(1, 2);

                $c .= ($chance == 1)
                    ? "c1"
                    : "c2";
            }
            $full_coat_combination.= $c;
            break;
        }
    }
}

Coat combination is pulled from a database. Some samples follow:
Melanistic: BB------ (O/o, W/w, C/c1/c2 respectively)
Strawberry: bbOOww-- (C/c1/c2)
Blue Albino (one of our most problematic sequences): bboo--c1c1 (W/w)
Pink Albino (same as blue): bboo--c2c2
Thanks!

A: I thought this looked like an interesting problem. If I understand your question and code properly:

*

*Your database contains genetics which are represented as sequences
of four pairs. These sequences occur in a consistent pattern, such
that the first pair consists of two selections from the set [B, b,
b1, b2], the second pair from the set [O, o], the third pair from
the set [W, w] and fourth pair from the set [C, c1, c2].

*Some of the pairs are replaced by pairs of dashes as placeholders.
Your program must replace the dashes with random elements from the
appropriate set considering their placement in the main sequence.
Since your code does not address the first pair (the B group), I
assume those will always be present.

*To construct the replacement pairs, you first randomly select one element from
the appropriate set. The second element is also randomly selected,
but if the first element is one of the lowercase options, the second
element may not be uppercase.
First, I would use a regular expression match to separate the sequence into its components rather than using str_split, because some of the elements consist of multiple characters.
preg_match_all('/([BbOoWwCc][12]?|-)/', $coat_combination, $coat_genes);

When you have the sequence in an array, you may iterate over it as you are currently doing, but instead of checking $full_coat_combination repeatedly, you can replace each of the dashes with an element from the appropriate set using a specific rule for each position in the sequence.
$full_coat_combination = ''; // container for resulting sequence
$prev = ''; // to handle uppercase/lowercase requirement
$c_options = array('C', 'c1', 'c2');
foreach($coat_genes[0] as $i => $gene) {
    if ($gene == "-") {
        if ($i == 2) {
            // you may use rand(0,1) to generate a random boolean
            $gene = rand(0, 1) ? 'O' : 'o';
        } elseif ($i == 3) {
            $gene = 'o'; // default value is lowercase
            // if previous was uppercase, then randomly select upper or lower
            if ($prev == 'O') $gene = rand(0, 1) ? 'O' : 'o';
        } elseif ($i == 4) { // W uses the same logic as O
            $gene = rand(0, 1) ? 'W' : 'w';
        } elseif ($i == 5) {
            $gene = 'w';
            if ($prev == 'W') $gene = rand(0, 1) ? 'W' : 'w';
        } elseif ($i == 6) {
            // randomly select an element from the three possibilities
            $gene = $c_options[rand(0, 2)];
        } elseif ($i == 7) {
            // if the previous was not uppercase, exclude the index for upper
            $x = $prev == 'C' ? rand(0, 2) : rand(1, 2);
            $gene = $c_options[$x];
        }
    }
    $prev = $gene; // current becomes previous for the next iteration
    $full_coat_combination .= $gene;
}

Danilo Petrucci broke a bone during training for Dakar 2022
Haven't started yet Hey, did you play with broken bones? Former MotoGP rider Danilo Petrucci turned to dust at the Dakar Rally shortly after training, when Petrucci suffered a broken bone in his right brother. The bike used is a KTM 450 Rally that took place in Dubai on December 10, 2021.
Petrucci explains, "I was driving in the middle of the sand dunes and slowly going down the road. 'Cause I'm going out of my way That area is on deep sand. But after a small collision There are really deep holes. And I crashed hard into the bike. There was pressure on the right leg causing the bone to break."
With his injuries, Petrucci returned home to Terni, Italy, to heal his wounds. Fortunately, this journey will help him adjust to his fitness and keep up with the competition next season.
Petrucci assured Speedweek, "I'm ready to make my official debut at the Dakar Rally. Just give me enough time to rest and I will come back to practice again. Now I can't jogging. But still enough to be able to cycle on a roller and do physical therapy at home on a daily basis, just for now, don't put too much weight on your feet."
The Dakar Rally kicks off January 2, 2022. Petrucci is scheduled to join the KTM Factory Racing Rally team for the opening stage on the first day of the new year. Hopefully the former MotoGP rider will recover and come back to paint on the desert soon.

Through A Glass Lightly
The London Library, in alliance with the Pushkin Press, has just published a second batch of six titles in its "Found on the Shelves" series of interesting but forgotten books drawn from its collections. One of these is a little book on wine by Thomas Tylston Greg, Through a Glass Lightly: Confession of a Reluctant Water Drinker, first published in 1897 and made up of 11 short essays originally published in the Pall Mall Gazette and the National Observer.
Greg had been born into an exceptionally wealthy Manchester cotton and industrial dynasty. The foundations had been laid by Samuel Greg, a Scottish Presbyterian from Belfast who at the age of eight had been sent to live with his childless uncle Robert Hyde, a Manchester linen merchant, to learn the textile trade. On Hyde's death Greg inherited the firm and developed it aggressively, buying up mills and establishing what by the 1830s was the largest coarse spinning and weaving business in the country. This was the source of the wealth which allowed his descendant, Thomas Tylston Greg, to shun the ways of trade and instead to explore the world of wine.
It is fascinating to compare the way Greg writes on wine with the way we write about it today. Modern wine-writing is preoccupied with how wine is made. The peculiarities of terroirs and their intersection (happy or otherwise) with particular varietals; the tending of the vineyard and the dressing of the vines; green harvests; the rituals and ceremonies of bio-dynamic viticulture; the sorting and selection of the fruit; how the juice is obtained; the length and temperature of fermentation, and whether it takes place in stainless steel or concrete; racking, fining, and bottling — these are the topics that modern wine writers delight to dwell upon.
Greg mentions none of these subjects. He shows not the slightest interest in how wine is made. In his essay on claret, for instance, he mentions a few châteaux — Pichon Longueville, Beychevelle, Léoville (which he speaks of as a single property, even though it was divided into three after the French Revolution) — but entirely ignores the wines of Graves or St Émilion or Pomerol. He appears to have no knowledge of the various different grape types which are usually blended to produce claret, and he shows no sign of being aware that those blends can vary dramatically both between and within individual communes. He must have been aware that the left-bank wines of Bordeaux were grouped into communes, because often they were simply sold by that name — Victorian wine lists tend to offer "St Julien" or "Pauillac" or "Médoc" much more often than they do individual châteaux. But he cannot have considered this to be important enough to comment on.
Nor does Greg well understand why it is that the wines of the Médoc can be so extraordinary. Listen to him as, in his flowery way, he puzzles over the contrast between the immiserated appearance of the vineyards and châteaux of Bordeaux and the glorious wine they produce:
But to the name itself [claret] there clings a romance no politician nor any touting advertiser can wholly degrade or dispel. His father-grape is himself a true patrician, abiding in fair Châteaux, with ancient honey-sounding names and yet so poor withal that, if truth were told, the most of these holds are unfurnished and dismantled, and many are not in France at all, but (alas!) in Spain. The soil of his garden is of such magnificent sterility that any of less lineage would starve.
But of course, it is precisely the thinness of the soil of the Médoc which obliges the vines to send their roots deep and wide into the gravel banks which, experience has found, produce the finest wines. If you plant a vine in rich soil its root system will remain shallow. In poor soil the plant is obliged to forage for water and nutrients, and so its roots will extend downwards and sideways for many metres. The benefits of this are twofold. In the first place, the vine will feed normally through floods and droughts.
Secondly, once the vine is established conditions on the surface of the soil will not greatly affect it. What is essential is that the subsoil should be well drained, so that the roots of the vine do not drown. This is why clay is not a good soil for wine-growing, and why the wines of Bourg and Blaye, over the river from the Médoc and where the soil is made up of clay over limestone, are less fine, developing less complexity and fragrance.
Greg writes solely from the perspective of a wine consumer with very deep pockets. Most of us will take only an academic interest in his essay on butlers and how they should be managed. The essay on cellars, again, will be of practical interest to few of us, although it is interesting to see how demanding Greg is in the matter of cellars. The door should face to the north, and preferably there should be two of them at least four feet apart; the temperature must be constant 50 degrees; the degree of moisture must be meticulously controlled to prevent both the growth of mildew and the drying out of corks; odours are to be excluded. This exactingness seems to have been provoked by dismay at too many spoiled bottles. But it is much more likely that the wine was not sound to begin with or had been badly bottled with a poor cork than that its storage was at fault.
However, on other subjects Greg has good advice to impart. On glasses, for instance, he is very correct. He is a determined foe to heavy cut glass and still more to coloured glass. The best ports, clarets, and burgundies, he says, "should only be savoured from pure white glass of wafer thinness, light as the fancy he inspires, large as the greatness of his soul, transparent so that his 'purple tide' may ebb and flow in full vision". On champagne, he is even more sound, stipulating that a champagne glass "should be so thin that it clings to the lips as a membranous transparency — a bubble divided in twain, and floating on the wings of the wind. It should be wider in the middle than at any other point; should taper thereto from the bottom, or therefrom to the top — so that the soul of the wine comes concentrated into the mouth of its high priest." And he anathematises both the saucer-like champagne glass (from which he says it is impossible to drink satisfactorily), and glasses with hollow stems, on the practical grounds that they cannot be kept clean.
At £4.99, this little book would be a perfect stocking filler for any of your friends who have an interest in wine, and, at just under 100 pages, would keep them amused through what can sometimes feel like the longueurs of the afternoon of Christmas Day.


I am having issues with my Samsung Galaxy S4. Yesterday my tablet started to make the photos I took, blurry. As you see at the picture bellow, you cannot see much of the picture. Has anyone experience something similar as that before?
I used the table outdoors yesterday, but it was not raining. It had rained earlier that day, so could it be moist that has ruined the camera?
If you use a 3rd party camera, does it do the same? If it does, it might be that the camera sensor got screwed up. That definitely doesn't seem like a lens problem but either a sensor problem or a software problem (if a 3rd party camera doesn't do that, then it's your app).
It is in a app we use that we have gotten the issue, so it is actually the app screwing with the camera?
Do you think it will help deleting the app and downloading it once more?
If a different camera app or the stock camera isn't doing it, then yeah, it's definitely the app you're using that's screwing up the image processing. Did you update the app or something? It wouldn't hurt to try and uninstall/re-install the app, but if it does it, I would send that to the developer as a bug they need to fix.
Also, if you're using any special filters or post-processing inside the app, try turning those off and see if an unfiltered, unprocessed image is still saving as jumbled pixels or if it's saving the right image.
I am trying to update the software, as well as redowloading the app. Hope it works!

Balhae (698-926) foi um reino multiétnico na Manchúria, na península coreana e no Extremo Oriente russo. Balhae foi estabelecida por refugiados do reino coreano caído das tribos Goguryeo e Tungusic Mohe em 698, quando o primeiro rei, Dae Joyeong, derrotou a dinastia Wu Zhou em Tianmenling.

Juntamente com refugiados goguryeo e tribos Mohe, Balhae tinha uma população diversificada, incluindo outras minorias, como os povos Khitan e Evenk.  Balhae tinha um alto nível de artesanato e se envolveu no comércio com países vizinhos como Göktürk, Japão, Silla e Tang.

Em 926, a dinastia Khitan Liao conquistou Balhae e estabeleceu o reino autônomo de Dongdan governado pelo príncipe herdeiro de Liao Yelü Bei, que logo foi absorvido pela Liao. Enquanto isso, uma série de nobilidades e elites lideradas por figuras-chave, como o príncipe herdeiro Dae Gwang-hyeon, foram absorvidas em Goryeo.  A conquista khitana de Balhae foi um dos fatores por trás da hostilidade prolongada de Goryeo contra a dinastia Khitan Liao.

Divisões administrativas do reino balhae, com nomes chineses e coreanos [nota 1]
No início, o reino tinha cerca de 100.000 domicílios e uma população de cerca de 500.000. Evidências arqueológicas sugerem que a cultura Balhae foi uma mistura de culturas chinesas, coreanas e tungústicas.

Most people feel like pulling their hair out when tax season rolls around, but taxes can be especially confusing for seniors, many of whom receive most of their income from non-taxable sources. Many seniors are unsure if they need to file a tax return if they receive Social Security income, and you may see a lot of conflicting advice. Here are some tax tips from El Dorado County Home Care Assistance to make this year's tax season a little easier.
Seniors who do not itemize their deductions are eligible for a higher standard deduction. If you or your spouse are 65 or older or if you or your spouse is blind, you can take a higher standard deduction of $7,750 if your status is single or $14,800 if you're filing jointly. This compares to $6,200 for single filers and $12,400 for married people under 65.
Taxpayers under 65 can only deduct medical expenses if they exceed 10 percent of their adjusted gross income. Seniors can deduct medical expenses that exceed 7.5 percent–even if only one spouse has reached 65. This has the potential to dramatically lower taxable income and adjusted gross income as most seniors have high medical costs. Covered medical expenses include hospital bills, doctor bills, the cost of prescriptions not covered by insurance, prescription eyeglasses, hearing aids, wheelchairs, dentures, and premiums for Medicare and other forms of coverage. Even premiums paid for qualified long-term care insurance can be deducted.
Many seniors assume they do not need to file if they receive Social Security benefits, but some of the benefits may be taxable. How much of the benefits are taxable depend on the amount of the benefits received plus other income. The more income a senior has, the more likely some Social Security benefits are taxable. The good news is no one pays federal income tax on more than 85 percent of Social Security benefits. The IRS says it's important to be careful when calculating the taxable amount of benefits and to double-check the figures.
If you are 65 or older, retired on permanent and total disability, or have taxable disability income, you may be eligible for the Credit for the Elderly or the Disabled. This credit has income restraints, but it can be worth $3,750 to $7,500.
Many community organizations offer free tax services for seniors, and the IRS offers free programs. The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program offers free tax assistance to people aged 60 and older at over 7,000 sites across the country.
Discover additional resources that can help your senior loved one maintain a healthy, happy life through Home Care Assistance. We offer El Dorado County respite care, live-in care, and part-time care, ensuring seniors have support whenever they need it. Our caregivers run errands, provide transportation, offer medication reminders, prepare healthy meals, and much more. Give us a call at (916) 358-3801 or (530) 409-4411 to learn more about how our care services can benefit your senior loved one.

The Downtown Fiction
There are a few handfuls of bands that I have been lucky enough to steadily keep up with across the musical spectrum from screamo to boy bands to pop rock and one of those bands that we'€™ve been able to keep up with is The Downtown Fiction. Our first time around when we talked to Cameron was just this summer at Warped Tour and we did a quick run down of everything Warped along with their new record!
Then just this past month, we had the chance to sit down with both Cameron and David hours before they hit the stage in Boston and we learned a few things be it what actually was wrong with Cameron'€™s vocal chords, when we can expect the full length album and some of their first tastes of music be it their first concert and record! The boys actually just put up their '€œDouble EP'€ for preorder as well which isn'€™t new material but it is all of their EP'€™s on one CD for easy access? Pick that up if you'€™re new to the band or a long time fan to keep you held over to their first full length which will be dropping at the latest Spring of 2011!
Take the person next to you so David, you would do this for Cameron and he would do it for you. What would they be doing if they weren'€™t in music?
David: What do I think he would be doing? Probably being in school like we all would.
Cameron: He would be a professional skate boarder.
David: Yep.
Perfect then last time we talked was at Warped. You were only on it for a few days but how did it end up going for you?
Cameron: It was great. It was exhausting though because we were doing it in a van and when you'€™re not in a bus, it'€™s pretty rough. The drives are long and the load ins are early so there'€™s not really any time to actually sleep but it'€™s only a test of endurance. We'€™re happy that we made it through barely but yeah it was a great experience and you know every kid, like in a band in our age group, has like revered the Warped Tour. I'€™m sure just like a million others it'€™s been our dream to play Warped Tour so it was really cool.
And then you had also said the album was in progress, the full length at least. At the time you said early 2011. Is that still the plan or is it going to be a little longer?
Cameron: Yeah 2011 definitely. It'€™s going to be-
David: Probably closer to Spring.
Cameron: Yeah Spring. Looks like it.
And then maybe where'€™s the strangest place you'€™ve found inspiration like where were you, was it for a song lyric, song title?
Cameron: I mean I won'€™t go into specifics but some of the strangest things are just things that friends say that kind of inspire a weird lyric. I don'€™t know, I mean just life happens and you write about it. Usually life is pretty strange so it'€™s pretty easy (laughs).
Then the last physical material you put out was the EP '€œBest I Never Had'€ and it'€™s been out for a while now. I think it came out in March, late March just about. How has it been going over maybe not just by sales but you guys have been touring. You were on Warped Tour for a reason obviously you had to miss out on the last Stereo Skyline tour but how has it been going?
David: I think it'€™s been awesome because we put this out so long ago and it'€™s still had a lot of life. Like it'€™s just these six songs but we'€™ve really been able to push them for a while now.
Then maybe what'€™s your favorite song to play off that EP right now?
David: '€˜I Just Wanna Run'€™ definitely. So much energy.
Cameron: And kids really respond to it. They'€™ve been getting into it so it'€™s always fun to close with a song like that.
And then I know right before the Stereo Skyline tour, you had to get throat surgery, Cameron. What was going on with that like you had to skip the tour?
Cameron: Yeah I got, thankfully it wasn'€˜t too bad, but I got a polyp which is an irritation on your vocal chords and the doctor said it was from being sick and touring while being sick so that was a bad idea and I'€™m trying to avoid being sick at all costs when I'€™m touring. Or else, it could bring back the problems but I'€™m fine now. I'€™m totally fine. I'€™m better than ever actually (laughs).
Good and then you put out the video for '€œI Just Wanna Run'€ not too, too long ago. I believe it'€™s your first one, if you were to take another track out of the music you'€™ve put out so far what would the song be and why?
Cameron: I think we would do something like '€œBest I Never Had'€. I think we just all like the song and I think it would make a good one. The music just kind of lends itself to a video but I'€™m not sure if we'€™ll have an opportunity to make another video for the EP but certainly for the record.
And then maybe what'€™s the strangest thing that has happened at one of your shows? Not necessarily wild because that could be a lot of things obviously!
Cameron: One time on tour, we were willingly-
David: Tasered on stage.
Cameron: Tasered ourselves.
Cameron: One of the dudes who worked for another band we were touring with at the time had a taser and we decided it was a funny idea to have him come up and taser us on stage. We did it, we manned up.
Crazy and then maybe not necessarily a dream tour like any three bands but if you could take out maybe three past bands you'€™ve toured with to be on a dream tour, who would they be?
David: I'€™d say definitely like Amely. These are like bands we'€™ve toured with?
Yeah bands you'€™ve toured with in the past like a dream package tour.
David: Just like Amely-
Cameron: Great Big Planes. They'€™re some really cool dudes. Yeah we haven'€™t done that much touring and most of the touring we'€™ve done are with bigger bands so we wouldn'€™t want to say that we would take them out. It would be them taking us out.
Yeah that may not work too well.
Perfect then maybe what was the first concert you went to as a kid? Like obviously there'€™s a lot of kids out in line waiting for you to play and it may be their first concert.
David: I don'€™t remember.
Cameron: Really?
David: Yeah. I literally don'€™t remember.
Cameron: (laughs) Well, what was one of your first?
David: Uh, probably Coldplay I think was one of the first big ones.
Cameron: For me, not that I really remember it but I think when I was like four years old my parents took me to see the Rolling Stones.
Cameron: Yeah that was a pretty good first show. Not bad.
No, not bad at all!
Then maybe what was the first CD you bought and do you think it has any influence on like what you guys are doing today? Like your style of music!
David: I think the first CD I ever bought was maybe like Relient K. It was like their first album and definitely yeah! We'€™re like that sort of pop rock and I mean they had a lot of cool bass stuff on there so that definitely influenced my bass playing.
Cameron: The first record I distinctly remember buying was '€œEnema of The State'€ by Blink 182 and that'€™s been a huge inspiration. Continued to be an huge inspiration on our song writing and yeah I think a lot of credit has to go to Blink 182. For like a lot of bands in our genre.
Perfect and then the last one. I know you talked about the record in 2011 but do you think you'€™re going to do more touring before the release, maybe taking a little break, what'€™s going to be going on?
Cameron: I think we'€™re going to have a little time off at the end of this year in December.
Yeah like the holidays.
Cameron: And January but I'€™m pretty sure-
David: Probably touring.
Cameron: We'€™ll be touring a lot more. Even before the record comes out.

New Pass for Colorado State Wildlife Areas Available May 1
Kelsey Nistel Published: March 24, 2021
Courtesy of TSM
With Colorado experiencing a massive increase in its overall population, as well as seeing a steady rise in tourism/visitation during recent years, Colorado Parks and Wildlife has grown concerned about the impact it's having on State Wildlife Areas (SWA).
CPW manages more than 350 SWAs throughout the Centennial State. These designated areas are critical habitats for Colorado wildlife and are also valuable to outdoor recreationists. They're acquired using hunter and angler dollars, with the purpose of conserving wildlife habitat. Through the sale of licenses and passes, CPW is able to preserve these areas, which then provides wildlife-related recreational opportunities.
State Wildlife Areas have always been open to the public, but as more and more people visit these properties and engage in outdoor activities that were not always intended for the space, it can disturb and displace wildlife. CPW used the example of hiking, explaining that while it has always been allowed in State Wildlife Areas, it was never the intended purpose for these places.
In 2020, the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Commission voted to require everyone who enters an SWA to possess a valid Colorado hunting or fishing license.
In 2021, the Commission added the option of a Colorado SWA Pass, for those who are unable or unwilling to purchase a hunting or fishing license, but still want to access State Wildlife Areas.
Requiring a license or pass to enter aims to reinforce the primary intent of these properties. In addition, the new regulations help to ensure that everyone who visits these important places are also helping to contribute to their management and maintenance, while allowing CPW to continue to protect key wildlife habitat.
Pricing for an annual SWA pass is $36.08, plus a fee of $10.40 for a Colorado Wildlife Habitat Stamp. There are also annual youth, senior, and low-income passes available for $10.07. Annual passes are valid from March 1 to March 31 of the following year, which also aligns with the 13-month season for fishing licenses in Colorado. People can also buy a one-day SWA pass for $9.
The SWA pass will be available for purchase starting May 1, 2021.

How would you manipulate the dataset into the following form:
A dataset containing one record for each case of DCIS, with a binary flag (yes/no) indicating whether the woman progressed from DCIS to invasive disease and time to progression to invasive disease if applicable?
Note to be classified as "progressed" a cancer should first be classified as DCIS and then later as Invasive in the same breast (i.e. same laterality).

A: Try this (change "yourtable" with your actual table name:
select
    tbl_dcis.RegistryNo,
    case when tbl_inv.RegistryNo is null then 0 else 1 end as progressed_to_invasive,
    case when tbl_inv.RegistryNo is null then null else tbl_inv.DateOfDiagnosis - tbl_dcis.DateOfDiagnosis as difference_in_days
from yourtable as tbl_dcis
left join yourtable as tbl_inv on tbl_dcis.RegistryNo=tbl_inv.RegistryNo
where
    tbl_dcis.ExtentOfDisease='DCIS'
    and tbl_inv.ExtentOfDisease='Invasive'
    and tbl_dcis.DateOfDiagnosis <= tbl_inv.DateOfDiagnosis


Feedback regulation is ubiquitous in nature, starting already at the molecular scale and extending all the way up, often linking different spatial scales. Biological systems utilise feedback regulation to let structures and functions self-organise. Such self-organisation often defies our linear-pathway-trained intuition. Mathematical modelling, analysis and computer simulation closely iterated with quantitative experiments can therefore be a fruitful strategy for studying complex regulatory systems.
We have previously applied this theoretical approach in collaboration with experimentalists and found that feedback loops of effector recruitment and activity can couple different Rab GTPases on intracellular organelles in such a way that multistability self-organises (del Conte-Zerial et al., 2008). Therewith, membrane identity is robustly maintained despite of noise and perturbations but can also abruptly switch to a successive identity upon a super-threshold signal. This abrupt switch, as observed for instance in early to late endosome conversion, represents a novel type, termed cut-out switch, which differs from the canonical toggle switch by superposition of negative feedback upon the positive feedback loop and correspondingly novel switch behaviour. Such theoretical insight into biological switches was also applied in the design and analysis of biosynthetic computing circuits (Hayat et al., 2006). Currently, self-organising multistability and switches between different functional states are further explored for pancreas cell differentiation with implications for cell reprogramming in regenerative medicine (Zhou et al., 2011).
More complex spatio-temporal behaviour emerges when regulatory networks couple spatially distributed components. Along this line, a mechanistic model and analysis of ErbB signal transduction and gene regulation revealed that differentiation versus proliferation decisions of cells upon growth factor stimulation arise from spatially distributed signal processing (Nakakuki et al., 2010). We are currently also exploring how feedback regulation and spatio-temporal patterning control tissue morphogenesis and growth (Gin et al., 2010).
Throughout these projects, the mathematical models are inherently nonlinear and only fully disclose their secrets through advanced methods including dynamical systems theory and bifurcation analysis. We continuously develop such analysis methods further, in particular for nonlinear partial differential equation models.

This theory group, in close collaborations with experimentalists, will further extend and apply systems biology approaches to uncover the regulatory mechanisms that underlie spatio-temporal patterning processes in cells and tissues.

Planners of a $6 million park remodeling project in the city of La Crosse say it will be a rarity in the United States — a place where people with cognitive, sensory and physical disabilities can play together.
"This park is for all abilities. It's ADA-compliant and people use the word inclusive — and there are a lot of inclusive parks around the country and in the state of Wisconsin. There are only five parks like this in the United States. It's different," said La Crosse Parks Director Steve Carlyon.
Planning for the All Abilities Trane Park has been in the works for about six years, since the parents of children with Autism spectrum disorders approached city leaders because there was no park that was appropriate to meet their children's needs.
"When I was young and grew up, people with disabilities, particularly social, or cognitive, or mental, were institutionalized. That was the way they dealt with these problems," Carlyon said, "Today, that's not the case. We feel that every child has the right to play."
La Crosse's two major medical centers and two universities have provided input on the park's design and specialized playground equipment. Carlyon said the physical therapy and therapeutic recreation programs at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse and sports medicine program at Viterbo University will use the park as a learning tool once it's completed.
Most of the project cost is going toward the specialized equipment and landscaping. A zipline is also part of the project.
"I like to call it a Disney World concept where we have six to seven different zones and some of those zones would be for sliding, for swaying, early childhood. There also is a wellness area," said project board president Fran Formanek. "Any kind of person with any kind of disability, cognitive or physical, is going to be able to enjoy the park."
Trane Park has been a part of the city's park system since the 1950s. The 2.3 acres of land was a gift to the city from Trane Company employees and named to honor the founder Reuben Trane. The new park will replace an existing park, which includes a shelter, softball diamond and soccer field.
"At one point, it was probably pretty highly utilized, but it's a very tired park. There's not much out there anymore," Carlyon said. "The demographics around the area that we found, it's primarily a lot of younger families moving in, so it needs to be refreshed."
Formanek said more than half of the estimated $6 million fundraising goal was raised by earlier this summer. The city and county of La Crosse are contributing about a quarter of the funding. Fundraising began in early 2016.
Formanek said they hope to begin the remodeling this fall with a goal to open the new park next July.


First I want to say that I know everyone hears with different, lets say "resolution". That's to say the differences you hear, I might not and vice versa. I also realize that as we progress in our quest for better sound what we are left with is wanting more realism, which is subtle but very important to us that care, and a lot of people cannot hear the difference. Not knocking anyone as it is actually easier for those that do not hear differences and a lot cheaper because you don't need to upgrade! I know this as my father could listen to a cheap portable radio all day that was just off station. When I walked by, I would always tune in the radio as it drove me nuts! It sounded better except that it was still a cheap radio. I was a naysayer on power cables. I can hear differences in interconnects and speaker wire but all the power cable does is get the power from the wall to the component, right!!??? I bought a power conditioner and was surprised in the difference. Mr P said he noticed a difference when he got a power conditioner, but the biggest difference he heard was when he bought a quality power cord. I know my ears are sensitive like Mr P so I ordered three different PS Audio power cables from Music Direct, all half price at the time. I ordered the Jewel in one Meter and the AC-3 and AC-5 in half meter lengths. The power outlets are right behind my components so the half meter lengths would work. I was not totally convinced the cables would make a difference so I went to the bottom three knowing Music Direct would take them back if I wasn't satisfied. (I'm also cheap) The first thing I did was remove the factory cables from Conditioner, Pre and CD player in my main system and put all three cables in my system (Amp is old 80's Onkyo Integra M-588 and has an attached cord. Gonna have to fix that now). I did not need to do A-B testing as it was obviously improved, to my surprise. Just to check what I was hearing with my 57 year old ears, I had my 36 year old son listen with me changing out the factory and jewel on a cd player in my office system without him knowing which was which. At first he thought the "B" (factory) cable was better and after a few more switches he finally realized Seal's voice sounded clearer, the bass was less boomy and the overall sound was improved with the "A" (Jewel) cable. As I went up to the AC3 & AC5, each cable was noticeably more "real" sounding to the point I wonder what the AC-10 and AC-12 sound like. The cables made such a difference I think anyone wanting to upgrade a component should upgrade the cable first, which can be used on any further purchases they make, and they might not want to upgrade with the cable being less costly than the upgrade. I can say at half price ($35) the Jewel is an obvious inexpensive upgrade for any component and I am going to buy four, two with IEC-15 for receiver and DVD, and two with C-7 ends for the Playstation 3 and Samsung LED TV in my living room H/T. I believe it will make a great difference without breaking the bank. That system is not as important to me but know I would enjoy the improved sound and believe now it will probably improve picture quality. For my main system I am thinking all AC-5's. I'm a believer now!!

Our ears are the same age. I have owned a PS Audio power cord before and liked it. The aspect that brought the best sound in my system was the ability to unscrew the ground plug. In my apartment with the electronics I was using became quieter without the ground in the circuit. For much the same reason people use cheater plugs and do not attach the wire to ground.
Now that I have the Krell S-300i I have been remiss in trying a power cord. The instructions with the unit stated that the enclosed power cord is all you need and what they recommend. It seems to be a nicely made cord and your post has created interest in trying a PS Audio power cord again.


Motivated Seller! Great location on a serene street, and only a 30 minute drive to Virginia, the Outer Banks, and/or Elizabeth City! There is a public boating access in Poplar Branch is just a few miles to the South, or the Coinjock boat ramp is just a few miles to the North. You are just down the road from the Aydlett Sound front. Don't miss this opportunity on such a great centrally located property!

Q: Change the default screen in which to open an application? I run OpenSuSE with KDE, with 2 screens on the same laptop. I would like that, when I launch an application, it opens directly into the second screen, but instead, it is opening into the laptop's built-in screen. I searched for an option in the app link creator, but found nothing. What can I do?

A: The only way I know to do this is at the granularity of an "application by application" basis. For example, try this:

*

*Right-click on the window's title bar of an application you've already launched (specifically, have it be an application that should always launch into screen 2).

*Click "More Actions" from the context-menu.

*Click "Special Window Settings" from the sub-context-menu.

*Click the "Size & Position" tab if it isn't already selected by default.

*Check the "Screen" checkbox (shown in the 3rd section).

*Select "Apply Initially" from the drop-down-menu that's right of
"Screen".

*Type the screen number into the remaining textbox that's right of the drop-down-menu mentioned in step 6. Note: it will probably be "2" (without quotes).

*Click the "OK" button.

Close the application and try launching it again. Did it go to the correct screen?


Whether you are blonde, red, gray or brown, it doesn't matter when it comes to a great "medium hairstyle." All of these, can be created by our amazing students at the Mitsu Sato Hair Academy.
This amazing cut can be used on women of all ages. This uneven, deliberately jagged edged cut is amazing and fun.
Layers are long and wavy. This is the perfect "messy" look while also being amazing!
Texture, texture, texture. This is about the subtle angles and chopped layers.
This cut sharpens the face and is amazing for the mid-40s sass!

History

Early years (1922-1959)
The owner of the Milwaukee Journal, in addition to publishing a daily newspaper, was a pioneer of broadcasting.  It acquired WTMJ in 1927, after it had been on the air since 1922, among the earliest AM radio stations in Wisconsin. On February 23, 1940, an experimental FM station, W9XAO, started broadcasting in the Apex radio band (roughly between 25 and 44 MHz), as the first FM station west of the Allegheny mountains. In May 1940, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced the establishment, effective January 1, 1941, of an FM band operating on 40 channels spanning 42–50 MHz. The first fifteen commercial FM station construction permits were issued on October 31, 1940, including one to the Milwaukee Journal Company for 45.5 MHz, which was issued the call sign W55M. This facility had a 50 kW transmitter located in Richfield, Wisconsin, and primarily simulcast WTMJ's programming.

Effective November 1, 1943, the FCC modified its policy for FM call letters, and the station's call letters were changed to WMFM. The station call letters became WTMJ-FM on December 1, 1945. It began running classical music for some hours of the day; one of the announcers was WTMJ's Jonathan Green, who utilized a more sophisticated voice and name as J. Bradley Green for his work with the FM side. The company began to focus on its new television station, WTMJ-TV, which signed on in 1947. This original WTMJ-FM, along with co-owned WSAU-FM in Wausau, ended operations on April 2, 1950, with their licenses turned in to the FCC for cancellation.

Beautiful music (1959-1974)
A second WTMJ-FM, predecessor of the current station, commenced operations on June 1, 1959, at 94.5 FM, and ran beautiful music programming for the next 15 years.

Top 40 (1974-1989)
In 1974, the station changed to a separately programmed automated Top 40 format, using the branding "I-94" (named after Interstate 94, the main east-west interstate highway that runs through Milwaukee). To support the new brand, the owner wanted to change the station's call sign but could not decide on the two middle letters of a new name. The station manager, Jack Lee, proposed "WWWI", but the airstaff was not comfortable about using the tongue-twisting call letters on-air. A sales manager suggested two letters from "Katie", his wife's name; the call sign was thus changed to WKTI. I-94 was an automated station promoted as "Nonstop Stereo Rock."

In 1981, live disc jockeys were employed. The next year, Bob Reitman began hosting WKTI's morning show. The program director, Dallas Cole, added Gene Mueller to the morning show in mid-1982. Lips LaBelle later became the afternoon DJ and promotions director. In late 1982, Danny Clayton became the night DJ and music director. These people worked as a team at WKTI for the next fifteen years. The station experienced steady ratings and growth.

Hot adult contemporary (1989-2008)
Between 1989 and 1990, WKTI gradually decreased its Top 40 formula and evolved to Hot AC, as the station decided to target a more adult audience. By around 1999, WXSS-FM began to compete for WKTI's predominantly female audience with music from younger artists. WKTI had a long-standing popular morning show, and the station did not make changes in response to the competition. However, slow adjustments were made to WKTI's playlist, changing to an Adult Top 40 format to attract new and younger listeners. The changes included contests and a Friday playlist called Flashback Friday, which featured music from the 1980s.

In September 2006, apart from the legal station identification, WKTI DJs no longer voiced the "W" in its call sign.  The branding changed to 94-5 'KTI, Milwaukee's Hit Music Channel. In late 2006, Bob Reitman semi-retired, moving on to a weekly program on local public radio station WUWM. Gene Mueller continued the morning show with Amy Taylor and Gino Salamone as "Gene, Amy and Gino," until Taylor resigned in April 2007.  On May 15, 2007, Gene Mueller left WKTI after 25 years to host WTMJ's "Wisconsin Morning News." A new show, Mathew Blades in the Morning, with Blades, Erin Austin, and AJ, was then launched on WKTI. The station's evening lineup was also changing. Cindy Huber hosted the evening program for two years, but then left the station in a reshuffle and moved to WLDB. The station then began carrying John Tesh's Intelligence for Your Life show.

In September 2008, WKTI broadcast play-by-play coverage for teams normally on WTMJ, while the AM station was carrying a different sport. For example, the Milwaukee Brewers Sunday broadcasts moved to WKTI to allow Green Bay Packers radio play-by-play reports to air on WTMJ. On September 28, 2008, for the first time in Milwaukee FM radio history, WKTI aired a Green Bay Packers game (versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers). On July 22, 2010, WLWK aired a Brewers game to allow WTMJ's coverage of a sudden flash flood emergency.

Adult hits (2008-2015)
At 12:12 p.m. on November 6, 2008, after playing "Damn, I Wish I Was Your Lover" by Sophie B. Hawkins and "Hello, Goodbye" by The Beatles, Journal Broadcast Group general manager Steve Wexler went on WKTI to introduce listeners to a complete makeover for 94.5 FM. The station launched a new adult hits format, branded as "The New 94.5 Lake FM" (in reference to Milwaukee's location on the western shoreline of Lake Michigan).  Chicago's "Beginnings" was the first song to be broadcast. With the exception of Matthew Blades, the station's entire air staff was released with the change.

On November 13, 2008, WKTI officially changed call letters to WLWK-FM. Journal warehoused the WKTI call sign at its adult standards station in Powell, Tennessee (serving the Knoxville market) until Journal's sale of the station to local interests in December 2012. The WKTI call sign then moved to the Sturgeon Bay/Door County channel 22 translator for WGBA-TV in Green Bay.

From July 8, 2009 to October 1, 2011, WTMJ-TV's third digital subchannel carried the music network TheCoolTV; the affiliation was co-branded with Lake FM. In 2012, WLWK re-branded as "94.5 The Lake."

Journal Communications and the E. W. Scripps Company announced on July 30, 2014 that the two companies would merge to create a new broadcast company under the E.W. Scripps Company name. The two companies' broadcast properties would be combined, including WLWK-FM, WTMJ, and WTMJ-TV. The deal would separate WLWK from the Journal-Sentinel for the first time in its history, as the two companies' newspapers were to be spun off into a separate company under the Journal Media Group name. The transaction was completed on April 1, 2015.

Country (2015-2018)

On May 29, 2015, at 9 a.m., after playing "Pinball Wizard" by The Who and going into a commercial break, WLWK began playing The Beatles' album "Abbey Road" in its entirety. An announcement followed the end of Side 1 from Scripps Milwaukee Radio's Vice President and General Manager Tom Langmyer thanking listeners of The Lake (and revealing the "Abbey Road" move was intended as a tribute to how the station launched) and notifying them about a forthcoming format change.  Then, Side 2 was played, ending the "Lake" format with the final song on the album, "The End." At 10 a.m., WLWK flipped to Country music, resurrecting the WKTI-FM call sign as "94.5 KTI Country", while the Sturgeon Bay translator for WGBA changed calls from WKTI-CD to WLWK-CD, effectively switching the calls. The Federal Communications Commission officially made the changes on June 8, 2015. (The "FM" suffix was dropped a week later as the call letters became simply "WKTI.") The first song on the relaunched "KTI" was "Bartender" by Lady Antebellum.

The station became the second FM Country outlet in Milwaukee with a full-power signal, taking on iHeartMedia's heritage country outlet WMIL-FM. It was WMIL's first head-to-head battle since 1987, when it pushed then-rival WBCS out of the format. In November 2017, after only two-and-a-half years, WKTI surpassed WMIL to become the radio market's top-rated country station with listeners 6+ according to the Nielsen Ratings. In December 2017, WKTI also beat WMIL-FM with listeners ages 25–54, and became the #2 station with listeners 18-34 among all radio stations in Milwaukee. Since then, WKTI often led in the country ratings, with WMIL pulling ahead at other times;  but the victory was short-lived, as WKTI would be overpowered by WMIL the following year. In WKTI's last ratings book released before the end of the format, it ranked 13th in the Milwaukee market with a 3.5 share, trailing WMIL's 5.6 share.

Sports (2018-present)

On July 27, 2018, Scripps announced the sale of WKTI and WTMJ to Good Karma Brands as part of its exit from radio broadcasting, becoming part of a cluster with WAUK. Good Karma then announced that, upon closure of the sale on November 1, WKTI would switch to a sports radio format, featuring programming from ESPN Radio; Good Karma also moved the operations of WAUK to Radio City, and continue to lease the existing WTMJ and WKTI studios and offices in the building from Scripps.

In anticipation of the flip, Racine-based WVTY flipped to country on October 30, 2018, imitating WKTI's previous logo and branding as 92.1 VTY Country; WVTY's owner Magnum Communications also purchased advertising time on WKTI through November 2 to promote WVTY and its other co-owned country station in the area, WMBZ in West Bend, under a more receptive arrangement with Good Karma. WVTY had flipped from country to an adult hits format in May 2015 in response to 94.5's format change to country, and used WLWK's former Lake branding until an objection from WKTI's Scripps management at the time led to a rebranding as The Shore.

WKTI initially operated as a simulcast of WAUK, but by June 4, 2019, WKTI shifted towards a mostly-local schedule, and WAUK became mostly a pass-through for the national ESPN Radio schedule.

Programming
Local weekday programming on WKTI includes: Gabe and Chewy hosted by Gabe Neitzel and former NFL player Mark Chmura in morning drive; Wilde and Tausch hosted by Jason Wilde and former NFL player Mark Tauscher in late mornings; Power Lunch with Greg Matzek and TBD hosted by Tony Smith & Bryan Dee, both in middays; Homer and Gabe hosted by Steve True and Gabe Neitzel in afternoon drive; and Doug Russell in early evenings.

Syndicated weekday programs include Golic and Wingo in morning drive, and various other ESPN Radio programs throughout the evening and overnight hours. WKTI also airs ESPN Radio's coverage of MLB, the NBA, the NFL, and NCAA football, and is the flagship station for the Marquette University Golden Eagles college football and basketball teams.

News / Pfizer Named Ideal Employer in China
Pfizer Named Ideal Employer in China
In a survey that asked more than 64,500 students from more than 100 top universities in China which organizations they would most want to work for after graduation, Pfizer ranked "most attractive" in the health and medicine category. Out of 200 Chinese companies ranked, Pfizer also came in 28th for "ethical standards" and 31st for "high level of responsibility." The survey was conducted by the China Daily newspaper and Universum, a global company specializing in employer branding.
"We believe that the high appraisal Pfizer enjoys among the entire student population is highly reliant on the hard work and devotion of each department, especially the sales department, for providing a number of internship and job opportunities for the undergraduates in universities and colleges of mainland China," said Tony Bian, Human Resources Director, Talent Acquisition. "Meanwhile, it is very beneficial for our future talent reserve, as Pfizer becomes highly regarded by more and more university students."
Each year, the Universum Student Survey asks more than 400,000 students in nearly 30 countries to identify the employers they deem most desirable, resulting in the "Top 100 Ideal Employers" ranking for each country.

Publicidad Vinculando // 8 Feb, 2018 // ~ 3 minutos de lectura.
Why use a shampoo bar? Maybe the question should be why use liquid shampoo wrapped in plastic when the plastic needs more than a hundred years to disintegrate.
We have become used to seeing plastic packaging for most consumer products. Although we don't think about it, 25% of household waste is packaging – that means more than 50 kg of waste per person each year.
The good news is that it is not difficult to switch to alternatives that not only protect the environment, but also take care of our health.
With this idea, we decide to design our own Golconda Shampoo Bar line in 2016. Our shampoo improves upon the effectiveness of liquid shampoo by utilizing natural ingredients and removing all traces of plastic, both in composition and packaging.
Our products are the result of years of studying vegetable oils properties and their real benefits for our hair, avoiding all chemical ingredients and minimizing harmfulness.
In doing so, we have succeeded in producing a shampoo bar with only six plant oils that's able to address all hair needs.
This formula is made with six different vegetable oils: coconut, olive, sunflower, castor oil, shea butter and cocoa butter. The appropriate combination of each of the oils produces a thorough clean while producing a rich lather and foam.
A single wash should be enough for long-lasting clean and shiny hair.
Our shampoo bar original formula is made for those individuals with sensitive skin or scalp. This formula lacks any kind of perfume or ingredients, which could lead to irritation, itchiness or discomfort.
Our shampoo bar with essential rosemary oil and nettle is known for its stimulating effect to activate circulation of blood from hair follicles, helping our hair to grow stronger and healthier.
Rosemary essential oil is well known as a natural treatment against dandruff. Its anti-inflammatory properties produce a soothing and calming effect on the skin.
Animal lovers. All our products are vegan and non-animal tested. We don't use any ingredients that may harm an animal. For this reason, we have also not used palm oil in any of our products.
Zero waste. We cannot forget the environmental action we want to take in our world. By using biodegradable materials in the whole process chain, we prevent waste both abroad and at home. Since plastic waste production is continuously increasing, tons of micro plastics and chemical ingredients are flowing into the seas and rivers, polluting the environment and harming more than 600 marine species.
Decreasing CO2 footprint. Our shampoo bar size occupies the minimum space needed for the transport and storage. This means no unnecessary CO2 emissions.
Take it with you anywhere and whenever! You don't have to worry about buying additional products when traveling. Our shampoo bar travels back and forth with you in the plane. No need to show liquids at airport control, generate more plastic or fear it may spill into your suitcase. Our product is also very useful when practicing sports or going to the gym.
Longer durability. Thanks to its solid form, you only add water. We decided to give you our shampoo bar in its most natural and effective form and then you decide how much water you want to use. In comparison with liquid shampoo (more than 70% is water), our shampoo bar last between two and three times longer than the traditional shampoo.
After the total elimination of any chemical ingredients from our shampoo bar composition, we wanted to bring ecological and biodegradable packaging. For this reason, we utilize jute sacks that both protect the bar and can be reusable. Our labels are based on calcite with no need to cut down trees or use chlorine.
Another motivating factor is helping to achieve a sustainable lifestyle affordable to all that favor natural products. We are tired of marketing campaigns that add nothing to society and only encourage continual consuming at inflated prices.
Furthermore, although they have exorbitant prices, it doesn't mean that they are using quality ingredients. On the contrary, it is becoming more common to find negative articles or reviews about big companies and their day-to-day products ingredients.
But when exactly did the chemical wave start?
From the 1950s onwards – the start of social-economic modernity – there has been an increase in global consumption as well as the expansion of mass communication media and advertising.
In this movement, the chemical industry emerged creating new products shown as a modern alternative, instilling in consumers the idea of luxury and prosperity. Through this, we have ignored the natural ways and instead embraced the easiest method. During the last years, society has refocused on choosing a path closer to our origins.
Guided by this philosophy and looking at how nature provides us multiple alternatives, we decided to create Golconda as an honest company – encouraging consumer awareness and conscientious consumption. This facilitates sustainable products that respect our planet, our animals and our own needs.

An official statement from Facebook said: "tbh and Facebook share a common goal -- of building community and enabling people to share in ways that bring us closer together"
San Francisco, October 17, 2017 : Facebook has acquired 'tbh', an anonymous polling app for teenagers which has over 5 million downloads and 2.5 million daily active users in the US.
"When we set out to build tbh, we wanted to create a community that made us feel happier and more confident about ourselves. We felt that people craved genuine and positive interactions in their online experiences," 'tbh' said in a statement.
"Over the last few weeks, over 5 million people have downloaded tbh and sent over a billion messages. More importantly, we've been inspired by the countless stories where tbh helped people recover from depression and form better relationships with friends," it read.
Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed but according to TechCrunch, it is likely to be somewhere around less than $100 million and will not require regulatory approval.
"As part of the deal, tbh's four co-creators — Bier, Erik Hazzard, Kyle Zaragoza and Nicolas Ducdodon — will join Facebook's Menlo Park headquarters while continuing to grow their app," the report added.
"When we met with Facebook, we realised that we shared many of the same core values about connecting people through positive interactions. Most of all, we were compelled by the ways they could help us realise tbh's vision and bring it to more people," 'tbh' said.

Collection: Bryan Tubbs- Prints
Art that wants to break out and say something.
Prescott artist Bryan Tubbs combines wood, steel, stone, clay and other materials to sculpt pieces that invite the viewer on an escapade through love, laughter, pain and mystery. Like the unpredictable experiences that inspire them, his works express the ephemerality and surprise of everyday life while provoking emotion and thought.
Bryan Tubbs grew up in art studio and as a third-generation artist, he was introduced to many different mediums and styles through school, family and friends. He sold his first sculpture at the age of eight, launching a career that tells the story of his life.
His sculptures are a product of each day. Some days, he feels like creating things with color, life and beauty. Other days, he just wants to hide from the world and play with the voices in his head. He loves the unknown and the challenge of creating drives him to produce in multiple medias.
His own medium choices changes over the years from wood, steel, stone, clay and other materials. He sculpts his tangled web of life, using his head and hands to send viewers into a world of love, laughter, pain and mystery. He wants us to smile, think, laugh and cry, to transcend from the darkness of our souls to the heavens, and maybe back.
