Q: Yesterday we received three offers on our townhouse. Our listing agent was uncomfortable with a loan officer presenting the purchase offer for the buyer's agent. She made a big deal about it. My partner and I did not care who submitted the proposal, as it was the best of the three offers. We have not heard back regarding the counterproposal we generated last night for the loan officer acting on behalf of the agent. Our agent is unhappy we went with the loan officer's buyers. Are we in a precarious position by overriding our listing agent's objection to countering the loan officer's purchase offer?
A: Not according to one real estate attorney I consulted. However, many other real estate attorneys might disagree during a lawsuit. Seasoned agents for decades have been taken aback when a buyer's agent sends an underling to present a purchase offer. It's happened to me on several occasions. Buyers hire a buyer's agent to secure a property by way of offer, acceptance and ratification. Shifting the groundwork of buying a home during the most pivotal moments to an unlicensed assistant is nothing less than stunning. It's important to note that brokering real estate in today's fast-paced world is commonly over email servers. Emailing a purchase offer is even more counterproductive than sending an apprentice to present in front of sellers and listing agents. On the other hand, a minority of agents still requests the buyer's agent to submit their buyer's purchase offer in-person. A purchase offer presentation is also a "job interview." The sellers and listing agents need competent licensees who can perform the all-important critical duties of a buyer's agent. Regardless, investigate loan officers at the Nationwide Multistate Licensing System (NMLS) via http://www.nmlsconsumeraccess.org. And always make sure a real estate agent is also an upstanding licensee at the Department of Real Estate (DRE) via http://www.dre.ca.gov/consumers. Home sales are the most critical transactions in people's lives and should be not brokered with smartphones and tablets.

Q&A: Former Flames coach Terry Crisp reminisces on 50-plus years in hockey
Wes Gilbertson · Postmedia News | Posted: Nov. 2, 2021, 10:40 p.m. | Updated: Nov. 3, 2021, 11:30 a.m. | 9 Min Read
Former Flames coach Terry Crisp reminisces on 50-plus years in hockey as the Nashville Predators played the Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary on Tuesday.
Terry Crisp has always been quick with a one-liner, and Tuesday was no exception.
Crisp, best known around these parts as the man who coached the Calgary Flames to a Stanley Cup parade in 1989, strolled into the media lounge prior to morning skates at the Saddledome and was welcomed with one of the go-to greetings — "It's good to see you."
"It's good to be seen and not viewed," he quipped.
For more than a half-century, Crisp has been regularly spotted around NHL rinks.
As a hard-working forward, he logged 646 big-league appearances — including 110 playoff outings — on behalf of the Boston Bruins, St. Louis Blues, New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers. His stint in the City of Brotherly Love included two title triumphs.
He served as a coach in Philly, in Calgary and in Tampa Bay.
And, dating back to their inaugural season in 1998, he's been one of the voices of the Nashville Predators. The 78-year-old recently revealed he will retire from the broadcasting biz after this season, meaning that Tuesday's tilt between the Flames and Predators was his last official trip to his old stomping grounds, although he promised he'll be back.
Postmedia 's Wes Gilbertson caught up with Crisp to reminisce about his career, including that memorable run with the Flames in the spring of 1989 …
Q: Let's start with the latest. It was announced over the weekend that this will be your last season in the broadcast booth and, with this being your final visit to the Saddledome as an analyst, I understand the timing of that isn't a coincidence?
Crisp: "We had to put it out somewhere, right? I wanted it at the end of the season, but they said, 'Listen Crispy, if you're going to retire and you're moving on, why not? Let the people make sure that you're getting out.' (He laughs) … But I thought, yeah, it'd be neat to do it before we come home here to the Saddledome. Our 10 grandchildren are here, our three children are here, a lot of our friends. So what better way to go out of the TV analyst world than to do it when we come to Calgary?"
Q: Let's go back to your playing days. Can you describe what it was like to win two Stanley Cup championships with the Philadelphia Flyers?
Crisp: "You know what? Everybody says as a Canadian kid growing up, when you were out on that back pond, you were dreaming about winning the Stanley Cup and carrying the Stanley Cup. No. I never had aspirations of being a hockey player. I always wanted to be a school teacher. But I started to play hockey and I enjoyed hockey so I played peewee, bantam, midget, got lucky enough to go to Junior B, then made Junior A. The thing was, I just played hockey as long as I could, always for the fun, and it just sort of took care of itself. It wasn't like my mission in life. But when you win the Stanley Cup, my first one was in 1974 with the Flyers and when that final buzzer goes, you're standing there and all of a sudden it hits you that no matter what, if you never lace these skates up again, if you don't ever play another shift in hockey, your name will go on the Stanley Cup forever. For your mom, your dad, your kids, whatever, it will be there — proof that you did play in the NHL. That's what goes through your mind. It's neat."
Q: I was struck by the fact that in 1974-75, you finished the season with 20 penalty minutes in 71 games and the only Flyers regular with less was Bernie Parent, the goaltender … What was it like to witness the mayhem as one of the other guys on the Broad Street Bullies?
Crisp: "It was great. It was great for me. I got traded from the Islanders to the Flyers and I said to my coach, 'What do the Flyers want with me?' And he said, 'Damned if I know, Crispy.' So when I met (Flyers coach) Fred Shero, he said to me, 'Listen, we have some pieces to put together. We're missing some pieces, and you're one of them.' The first thing he said to me is, 'We're not all created equal and we will not all be treated equal, and you will not get the same ice-time as Bobby Clarke.' I said, 'Whaaaaaat? Why not?' (Laughter.) He says, 'We need penalty-killers and you're one of the primo penalty-killers in the league, and that's why we brought you in here.' And after it was all said and done, hey, I got more ice-time than any of the guys killing penalties. You go back over what happened, you mentioned all the penalties, I couldn't take 'em because I was killing them!"
Q: When you walk into this building and see that 1989 Stanley Cup banner, what goes through your mind?
Crisp: "Probably the first thing is how blessed I was to come in and coach a team like that. When my wife, Sheila, and I came here, Badger Bob Johnson had been here before me and laid a solid, solid foundation with Cliff (Fletcher) and them. The mandate was to win a Stanley Cup. The owners had all the money they ever needed, but our fans wanted a Stanley Cup. Our goal was to do that and we were fortunate enough to do it. I always tell people, when I was coaching here, any problem that had arisen with my team, I didn't have to go in and do all the yelling and screaming and kicking of garbage cans. Because I had Al MacInnis and Joel Otto and Tim Hunter and Jim Peplinski and Lanny (McDonald) and go on down the line. I didn't have to go in and check with the young kids. I'd tell them, and the job would be done. The next day at practice, it was all cleared up and done. I mean, think about that. How many coaches can do that today? It was pretty nice to have."
Q: What was the most difficult decision that you had to make during the playoff run in 1989?
Crisp: "Probably who to play, that was the toughest. And I still go back over it in my mind. We had such a good team, such a deep team. And I as a player know what it is like to be sat out in these games, so the toughest thing was making lineups. And the only thing you could do to really keep your sanity about it all was you couldn't become emotional. You couldn't let it get in your head. You had to walk in and say, 'What do we do to win this game tonight?' And then stay with it. When you as a coaching staff, with Tom Watt and Doug Risebrough, decided it, don't second-guess it. Go with it." (As many Flames fans will remember, co-captain and franchise icon Lanny McDonald was scratched several times during the spring of 1989. While Lanny suited up — and scored — in the championship-clinching game in Montreal, Hunter and Peplinski were among the spares that night.)
Q: How about the best decision you made that same spring?
Crisp: "Probably the best decision was to let the players determine who was going to dress and who was playing. We had so many good players on that team. The young ones were so good — you had (Theo) Fleury, (Gary) Roberts, (Joe) Nieuwendyk, and they were playing out of their skulls. So you're not sitting those kids out. They had energy, they're the future, they're coming. And then you have a lot of veterans and in your mind, you know they have all earned the right to be here and to be in the lineup. But you're only allowed to dress 20 and they're not going to change the rules for Crispy or for anybody else so you can be a good guy. That was the way you had to look at it. I know the feeling because I had been there. When we won the Cup in 1975 with the Flyers, the game we won was in Buffalo and I'd played most of them before that but Freddy sat me out that game. We won the Cup that night and in my heart, I didn't know what to think or what to do. I said to Freddy after the game, 'Why did I not dress?' And he said, 'I was saving you in case we had a seventh game.' So when I say I know the feeling, I've been through it."
Q: You must have some credibility with the grandkids especially that you're the guy who led the locals to their only Stanley Cup so far?
Crisp: "The neatest thing, I think, was when we first started to have grandchildren, I said to Sheila, 'I don't want to be called grandpa. I don't want to be called opa or dada or dodo or whatever.' So Sheila said, 'Well, what do you want to be called?' I said, 'I want them to call me coach.' So from my first one until now, all my grandchildren call me coach."
Q: Twenty-three years of broadcasting now … What's kept you at it for so long?
Crisp: "I've never known the real world. My wife and I have been married 56 years and we've always been in hockey, so we've always had a built-in family. Whether you were traded, moved, whatever … You moved into another hockey community or family. Which is great. It's a lovely life. I went from playing to coaching and was fortunate enough to get into the TV end of it. When I got fired in Tampa, we were retired and living in Florida and got the call from a friend of mine who was running the marketing/broadcasting in Nashville and he said, 'We need you for one game, Crispy. Opening game, we don't have anybody to do TV.' I said, 'No, I'm done.' He said, 'No, you owe me,' so I said, 'If you're calling in your note, then OK.' I went up, did the one game, thanked him and went home. He called the next day and said, 'We have a doubleheader, but we're going to have somebody after that.' So it went from first game to doubleheader to 23 years, and we're still in Nashville and still love it."
Q: Nashville has become one of those bucket-list destinations for NHL fans. They'll say, 'OK, I gotta go see my favourite team, maybe check out the honkytonks … ' Why has hockey been such a hit there?
Crisp: "It took us awhile, but it is a town that likes entertainment. They want to be entertained, and we all knew that. They had the Tennessee Titans there already, they had Triple-A baseball there already with the Sounds, and then hockey came in and suddenly they realized after we got them introduced to it, 'Hey, this is a pretty good sport. You have everything. You have skill. You have guys out there with clubs and blades on their feet and they're crashing and banging around with each other.' And once it took off, we kept building and building and it became what it is. And I think what made it more interesting is the fact that we weren't supposed to succeed. People said, 'Hockey in the south? It won't last. They're not going to make it happen down there. They're not going to do it.' They did. They made it better and better and now we're an 'It' city if you want to see a football game, a hockey game, do a bunch of golfing because we have the greatest courses around, and don't forget Broadway."
Q: Trust me, the beat reporters never forget Broadway … As you head into retirement, how do you hope to be remembered around the rink?
Crisp: "I know you always look for respect, but you have to earn that. So that's an easy thing to say, but you hope you earned some of the respect that you'd like. And I'd like people to always remember, 'Hey, we had fun. When Crispy was around, we had some fun.' Now, I'm not sure the guys I coached can say that, but in the broadcast world, I might get away with it."
Q: OK, last one. Here's a challenge for you — can you sum up 50-plus years in hockey in one sentence?
Crisp: "Yeah, I can. I want to thank my wife and the Lord for the journey we've had together in hockey."

Getting dirty isn't civil, So we roll among the roots. Shy sunlight peeks around, Stretching fingers of the shoots. Escape from concrete jungle, To see my long-limbed friends. Humanity is at war with them, And yet none demand amends.

Cash calf and feeder cattle prices were pressured by hard swings in the futures market, which were magnified by negative outside markets. Cash fed cattle prices held mostly steady, though.
Find the middle and take a strong hold. That dog-eared advice for climbing on a green-broke colt in a windstorm served equally well for those sorting through cattle markets this week.
Feeder Cattle futures made decent gains Monday and limit-up moves Thursday. They were limit-down $3 across most of the board the other three days. Week-to-week, Feeder Cattle futures were an average of $4.67 lower ($2.05 to $5.72 lower).
Live Cattle futures were nearly as volatile, making triple-digit gains Monday and Thursday, but suffering triple-digit losses in the other three trading sessions. Week-to-week, Live Cattle futures closed an average of $3.14 across most of the board.
Cash prices for calves and feeder cattle at auction ebbed and flowed with futures trends.
Overall, though, regional cash price averages were fairly steady.
Despite the volatile futures market, steady week-to-week wholesale beef values, along with the previous week's pop in cash prices, helped cash fed cattle trade steady to $1 on either side of even money this week. Live prices in the Southern Plains were $164/cwt. Nebraska traded at $164 on a live basis and at $258 in the beef. Live prices in Iowa-Minnesota were $1 higher than the previous week at $163-$165 live. Dressed sales there were steady at $257-$258.
As much as anything, negative outside markets seemed to be the main reason that traders were pulling leather.
Major U.S. financial indices lost ground week-to-week, but a rally Friday helped them close the gap.
The same sluggishness in global economic growth that caused investors to pull the plug on risk this week also poses a potential challenge to international meat demand (see "U.S. Beef Export Value Surges Past $325/Head").
In examining wheat pasture prospects and stocker cattle opportunities, Peel explained, "Despite the current record price levels, there is no strong indication that feeder markets face any significant downside market risk for winter grazing.

*From the Chicago Zoological and Aquatic Animal Residency Program, Department of Veterinary Clinical Medicine, College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Illinois, 1008 West Hazelwood Drive, Urbana, Illinois 61802, USA (Wojick, Naples) and the Shedd Aquarium Daniel P. Haerther Center for Conservation and Research, 1200 South Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60605, USA (Naples, Knapp). Present address (Wojick): Roger Williams Park Zoo, 1000 Elmwood Avenue, Providence, Rhode Island 02907, USA. Correspondence should be directed to Dr. Wojick (kwojick@rwpzoo.org).
The purpose of this study was to assess the ocular health of a wild population of Andros Island iguanas (Cyclura cychlura cychlura) and determine reference values for tear production and intraocular pressure (IOP) for this species. Fifty-two iguanas, 20 males and 32 females, ranging in size from 11.1- to 51.0-cm snout-to-vent length (SVL), were included in the sample set, with measurements obtained from each eye. No abnormalities were found on ophthalmic examination, with the exception of mild, focal chemosis in one individual and periocular ticks in 52% of iguanas. Tear production was measured using the phenol red thread test, and IOP was measured using the TonoVet® rebound tonometer set on the P (undefined species) setting. No significant difference was found between males and females for either measurement. No significant difference was found between right and left eyes for intraocular pressure; however, a significant difference was found between eyes for tear production values. The mean (±SD) of IOP in the left and right eyes were 4.77 ± 1.88 mm Hg and 5.12 ± 2.52 mm Hg, respectively, with a range of 1–11 mm Hg. The mean (±SD) of tear production in the left and right eyes were 10.63 ± 6.89 mm/15 sec (range 1–28 mm/15 sec) and 12.44 ± 7.52 mm/15 sec (range 1–23 mm/15 sec), respectively. A positive correlation was found between SVL and all ocular parameters measured. This study provides an assessment of ocular health, as well as baseline values for IOP and tear production, in the Andros Island iguana.

Elvis Presley, Hound Dog, Ed Sullivan Show
Elvis Presley "Hound Dog" (October 28, 1956) on The Ed Sullivan
A bit about the song
"Hound Dog" is a twelve-bar blues song written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller. Recorded originally by Big Mama Thornton on August 13, 1952, in Los Angeles and released by Peacock Records in late February 1953, "Hound Dog" was Thornton's only hit record, selling over 500,000 copies, spending 14 weeks in the R&B charts, including seven weeks at number one. Thornton's recording of "Hound Dog" is listed as one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll" and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in February 2013.
"Hound Dog" has been recorded more than 250 times. The best-known version is the July 1956 recording by Elvis Presley, which ranked number 19 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time in 2004 but was excluded from the revised list in 2021; it is also one of the best-selling singles of all time. Presley's version, which sold about 10 million copies globally, was his best-selling song and "an emblem of the rock 'n' roll revolution". It was simultaneously number one on the US pop, country, and R&B charts in 1956, and it topped the pop chart for 11 weeks — a record that stood for 36 years. Presley's 1956 RCA recording was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1988, and it is listed as one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll".
"Hound Dog" has been at the centre of controversies and several lawsuits, including disputes over authorship, royalties, and copyright infringement by the many answer songs released by such artists as Rufus Thomas and Roy Brown. From the 1970s onward, the song has been featured in numerous films, including Grease, Forrest Gump, Lilo & Stitch, A Few Good Men, Hound dog, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, and Nowhere Boy.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Quit snoopin' 'round my door
You can wag your tail
But I ain't gonna feed you no more
The song was written for a woman to sing in which she berates "her selfish, exploitative man" and in it, she "expresses a woman's rejection of a man – the metaphorical dog in the title.

KHUSHI RAJPUT | 18 JUNE, 2019
'Success Will Depend on Hard Work': In Conversation with First Time MP Goddeti Madhavi
A #TCSeries on firstime women MPs
NEW DELHI: Araku in Andhra Pradesh, geographically the second largest constituency in India, recently elected the youngest MP from the state, 26 year old Goddeti Madhavi. Before acquiring this new role, Madhavi used to be a physical education teacher at a tribal school in Paderu.
At a time when politics is considered a domain rampant with money and muscle power, this parliamentarian from the YSR Congress breaks the glass ceiling by becoming the MP with the least declared assets, of ₹1.41 lakh.
Madhavi defeated her nearest rival, six-time MP and former union minister Krishna Chandra Deo of the TDP, by a huge margin of 2,24,098 votes.
The Araku Lok Sabha constituency is reserved for candidates from the Scheduled Tribes. The region's residents are predominantly Adivasi, and issues commonly raised here are a lack of proper drinking water, inadequate health and educational services, a lack of employment, poor road connectivity, and the trafficking of young girls.
Madhavi's father was the late Goddeti Demudu, a two-time CPI MLA from the Chintapalli assembly constituency known for standing up against bauxite mining, and for his selfless work for Adivasis in the region.
With fresh fervour, Madhavi wishes to continue her father's legacy of achieving Adivasis' welfare in the region. In an email interview with The Citizen, she briefly discusses some of her plans to resolve the issues plaguing the region for so long.
What prompted the transition from a physical education teacher to an MP?
Actually, even before being a PE teacher, I am the daughter of the late Goddeti Demudu. My father has always been with the common people and has always led a simple life. His MLA salary was also used for party events, and he did not have a single allegation of impropriety against him. He fought against bauxite mining in the region till his last breath. His dedication towards tribals' welfare in the region inspired me a lot.
What are the challenges you see ahead, after your huge victory over a strong incumbent?
Araku has four districts, each with a diverse set of problems. Some of the places don't even have roads, and the majority of places lack a proper drinking water supply.
Your campaign highlighted issues of healthcare, drinking water, education, unemployment and infrastructure in the region. How do you plan to work on these areas?
To take an example, I am planning to set up a small empowerment class. The initial step would be to change the mindset of the tribals, encourage them to stay strong and to make them realise their potential, in order to bring them at par with the rest of society. They don't know how to utilise the central and state schemes owing to lack of communication in the past.
I have a few action plans for solving some major issues. Currently, I am in the process of meeting each and every officer regularly. I am expecting a positive change in the coming years, on all of the above issues. Success will depend on my hard work too.
Being one of the youngest MPs, what is your vision for youth and their employment in the Araku Valley?
I plan on generating employment by setting up small scale industries in the region. Every month, I will take a review and feedback to keep a check on the progress of the work and development activities.
Araku has previously faced a problem of trafficking of young girls. How are you planning to ensure the safety and development of women?
I have already met SP sir (the Superintendent of Police) regarding the issue. There is a need to bring more awareness on the issues concerning women.
Why did you join the YSR Congress?
During my college days, I was inspired by the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, the late Mr Y.S.Rajasekhara Reddy. When my father was suffering from a dangerous viral fever, Mr Reddy sent a medical team and a special flight – this at a time when my father was not even from his party.
Y.S.Jaganmohan Reddy sir is also very hard working, and has been fighting for Andhra's welfare for the past eight years. Even though he faced many hurdles, was put in jail, and his MLAs were purchased by the ruling party, not once did he lose patience, and he continued his struggle for the state.

More than 1 million people get divorced in the U.S. each year.
The median age for a woman at her first marriage is 25.
Most first-marriage divorces end in 7-8 years.
It means there are a lot of divorced women out in the dating pool and that they are younger than ever. As a result, more and more men are going to encounter women whom they find attractive and may even want to date seriously, but who also come complete with the excess baggage of a divorce.
Dating a woman who has already been married is much different than dating one who has never taken that plunge. Not only are there additional issues to cope with, often including children, but divorced women also bring a fresh and unique perspective to the table when it comes to relationships that make dating them fun and easy.
Either way, when you're dating a divorcee, there are a few key things you need to know about her general state of mind and approach to men that can make or break your experience.
Let's just get this one out of the way first. Many divorces have spoils (i.e. children) and when that is the case they must be the priority. It's nothing personal.
It's just that, by divorcing their father, this woman has already put her kids through a lot that was completely unfair. She doesn't want to increase or expand their burden.
So, while many divorced women with children can and do find time to date, the kids are still their priority. As a potential date/boyfriend, your role here is to understand and accept this. Capitalize on the free time she does have and don't take offense if you get ditched for the kids. If and when the relationship develops, there will be more give and take as she learns to manage your relationship and her motherhood.
Though it may not be appropriate to ask right away, dating a divorcee too soon can be a mistake. The emotional toll of ending a marriage, particularly if ending it was not her decision and/or if there was cheating involved, takes time.
While every woman heals at a different rate, it takes at least 6 months to process the finality of a divorce (that is, 6 months after signing the papers) and sometimes a year or more to be emotionally ready to be vulnerable again.
While many divorced women can and do date before that time, be very careful about how you approach anything serious or long term with them. Chances are, she is looking for an escape or release and not a new husband.
Divorce tests you in many ways – physically, mentally, financially — and any woman who has lived through it has triumphed over incredible odds to get there. A divorced woman who can withstand the toll of divorce and then be ready to date again is ready. All you need to do is respect the difficult journey that led her to this phase and prepare to get to know an incredibly strong, resilient, brave woman.
The incredible strain of a divorce does not only create a strong, wise woman, it also creates a self-sufficient one. From her career to her family to her home, a divorced woman has gone through the ringer and learned to take care of herself.
She is not looking for someone to help her pay the rent, she doesn't need a father for her children, and she certainly doesn't want another person to care for herself. If she is dating you and interested in more, what she wants is companionship, a best friend, and a confidante. Your role is to be there for her. No more, no less.
A divorced woman has high expectations when it comes to dating and relationships. She is well aware of the particulars of commitment and what that entails. When she steps out, willingly putting herself out there, knowing the outcome should she "fail", it is with the expectation that you are doing the same.
She has very little tolerance for games and will often see right through them.
Particularly if she is a divorced mother who is already time-stressed, she will not stick around to see if you are "really interested" and have very little tolerance for being seen as anything but worthy and respected in your relationship.
In other words, if you want to date a divorcee, then you need to date her. Be yourself, be real, and be respectful.

Q: Why is "this" required here (extension method)? Meta note: it is impossible to search for the word "this".
I've just run into a strange scenario in ASP.NET where the this keyword is required. But it's not for the purpose of resolving between local and instance variables, as you would see in a constructor.
Microsoft.Web.Mvc contains a class called ControllerExtensions, and I'm using the RedirectToAction(Expression<Action<TController>> action) overload. Maybe this is special because the overload is an extension.
RedirectToAction(c => c.Index()) won't compile, and it says Cannot convert lambda expression to type 'string' because it is not a delegate type. Now this sounds to me like it thinks I'm using the first overload which takes a string.
this.RedirectToAction(c => c.Index()) compiles fine. I can also call it statically, passing this as the first parameter.

*

*Why can't the compiler figure out that I'm looking for the overload that takes an Expression, and use that? Because the method takes an expression of an action, and not just an action, that must be involved. I don't understand the Expressions namespace at all, so I don't know the purpose of using this parameter type.

*Regardless of the answer to #1, why does simply adding this fix everything?

A: Extension methods work this way.
According to the C# spec (7.6.5.2 Extension method invocations), extension methods are only used if the call has "one of the forms":
expr . identifier ( )
expr . identifier ( args )
expr . identifier < typeargs > ( )
expr . identifier < typeargs > ( args )

This basically means you always have to have something on the left of the "." to have the compiler resolve an extension method.  The expr. portion must exist (and not be dynamic) for the compiler to look for an extension method.
For example, here is a small test that demonstrates:
namespace TestNamespace
{
    using System;

    public static class TextExtension
    {
        public static void Print(this Test test)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Found");
        }
    }

    public class Test
    {
        public void Foo()
        {
            // Compiler error!
            Print();

            // Works fine
            this.Print();
        }

        static void Main()
        {
            Test test = new Test();
            test.Foo();

            // Fine here
            test.Print();
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

Note the compiler error - since we're inside of the Test instance, you can't call Print() directly without using this..  However, we can easily do test.Print() (or this.Print() inside of Test).

A: I can answer #2: Your class (this) has only one RedirectToAction method, so there is no ambiguity. I bet if you overloaded the String one you'd get that error again.

A: There's an ambiguity.
When you use 'this' you invoke this method -
Controller.RedirectToAction

Without 'this' you invoke the extennsion method -
Microsoft.Web.Mvc.ControllerExtensions.RedirectToAction

Tubby Hayes: Back in Town
While performing in New York in June 1962, British tenor saxophonist Tubby Hayes had an opportunity to record for Smash, Mercury's newly formed jazz subsidiary. Smash was run by Shelby Singleton, a Mercury executive with pop sensibilities. What was remarkable about the resulting album, Tubby's Back in Town, are the musicians selected for the all-star recording session.
The album features Tubby Hayes (ts and vib), James Moody (ts and fl), Rahsaan Roland Kirk (ts, nose-fl, cl, manzellon and stritch), Walter Bishop, Jr. (p), Sam Jones (b) and Louis Hayes (d). Moody was under contract to Argo at the time, so he was listed on the Smash release as "Jimmy Gloomy." Kirk was a Mercury recording artist.
The three tenor saxophonists were deftly melodic but also fierce heat-seekers. And all three doubled on other instruments. The supporting trio was equally superb, particularly Bishop, a stand-out bop pianist with a strong keyboard attack who has slipped under the radar of late.
The tracks are John Lewis's Afternoon in Paris, Kirk's I See With My Third "I," his Lady "E," Sonny Stitt's Stitt's Tune and a medley of three standards—If I Had You, Alone Together and For Heaven's Sake.
On Afternoon in Paris, Hayes plays vibes while the introduction and ending are played by Kirk on tenor sax and manzello simultaneously. The solo is by Kirk.
On I See With My Third "I," Moody and Kirk open playing flutes in unison. Moody takes the first flute chorus, with Hayes playing vibes followed by Kirk's flute chorus.
On Lady "E," Kirk plays the first two notes on manzello and tenor sax simultaneously with Hayes and Moody responding on tenor saxes. Kirk takes the first tenor solo. Next comes Hayes and then Moody.
Stitt's Tune opens with four horns (Kirk on two of them). Then Hayes takes the first solo. Kirk follows on tenor and ends his segment by playing two horns. Moody goes last on tenor sax.
On the ballad medley, each saxophonist is showcased separately. Moody plays on If I Had You, Hayes is on Alone Together and Kirk finishes with For Heaven's Sake.
This album marks the first and only time Hayes recorded with Moody and Kirk. Hats off to Hayes, who likely conceived the project, brought these musicians together and worked out the arrangements. The entire package is masterful. A shame they didn't record a few more like it.

An homage to London — Mr. Fasano's favorite city in the world — Londra has a playful, rock 'n' roll décor with "Italianized" Union Jacks and brick walls adorned with framed vintage record covers. Classic rock music adds to the atmosphere, as do occasional live shows and sets from prestigious guest DJs.
"The world's best hotel bar."
In the elegantly-mirrored Fasano Al Mare restaurant, Chef Luca Gozzani (formerly of three-Michelin-starred Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence) crafts inspired Italian-Mediterranean fare. The décor includes dark teak tables and a Starck-designed Murano glass chandelier suspended over a vintage Scandinavian table.
"Open one in New York!"
Adjacent to the rooftop infinity pool, the Pool Bar offers an unparalleled panoramic view of Arpoador, the Two Brothers mountains and the Corvovado. The menu features exotic fresh-squeezed fruit juice combinations such as fig and coconut water and ginger-infused watermelon juice.
"Mr. Fasano, your hotel is fantastic."

i am using this way never faced issue if your script is running inside the POD.
config.load_incluster_config()

however you can also check out the auth : https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/
Which specific auth method are you using also check if there is any firewall or rate limiting configured or not.
i have not faced issue with the static token method : https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/access-authn-authz/authentication/#static-token-file

Ghana Red Cross to deploy 15,000 community health workers for door-to-door service
London, Dec. 24, 2019 (AltAfrica)-Ghana Red Cross Society, Monday, entered into a partnership with a local Non Government Organisation, Millennium Promise Alliance (MPA) to deploy 15,000 Community Health Workers (CHWs) across the country over the next five years.
This nation-wide Community health Volunteer outreach program is dubbed 1-Health (One Health) Ghana Campaign. It seeks to deepen primary health care delivery to all, especially, in hard-to-reach Ghanaian communities.

Under this initiative, the 15,000 front line volunteers from the Ghana Red will be equipped with smart phones and deployed across the country to deliver door-to-door health care service to the people.

While signing the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) the Secretary General, Ghana Red Cross Society, Mr. Samuel Kofi Addo, told journalists that the deal would afford the country the opportunity to address emergency situations wherever there are vulnerabilities.
Mr Samuel Addo of Ghana Red Cross exchanging notes with Chief Nat Ebo Nsarko of Millennium Promise Alliance
"It's an exciting day for us as Ghana Red Cross Society to partner with the Millennium Promise Alliance to see how we can come together to build synergies to enable us deal with the vulnerable in society whenever there is an emergency situation", he noted.
One initiative of the Ghana Red Cross Society that is having a major impact on the various communities they are serving, especially, in the Upper East and Northern Regions, is the Mother Club.
Under this program, the Ghana Red Cross Society builds on the capacities of mothers to deal with neonatal, maternal and child health issues in the communities.
The mothers move from house to house to interact with people, especially, pregnant women by advising them to go for antenatal services even after delivery.
They also ensure that pregnant women deliver at the CHPs compounds when they are due for delivery. The most interesting aspect of this initiative is the deployment of tricycle ambulances to take the pregnant women to the CHPs compounds when they are due for delivery.
However, they lack data in all their doings, a situation which, according to Mr. Addo, is affecting decision making.
"So, with this MoU, we are going to build the capacities of the mothers in terms of collecting data to feed those of us at the headquarters to make informed decisions", he noted.
The Executive Director of MPA, Chief Nat Ebo Nsarko, who signed the MoU on behalf of his organisation, said the deal would focus on maternal and child health, health promotion, first aid and disaster response, emphasising more on timely and reliable data.
"The impact of CHWs can no longer be taken faith, hence, rigorous effectiveness and cost-effectiveness systems are needed to engage them. Another key important component of health care delivery is accurate, timely and reliable data. Such data has been difficult to obtain, especially, at the community level.
"The partnership presents an opportunity to train, equip, deploy and supervise the current corps of Red Cross Volunteers and link them more strongly to the primary health care system in a sustainable manner. Indeed, from the early years of primary health care, community-based health workers and volunteers have played a key role in satisfying the need and demand for essential health services", he noted.
Quoting the 2019 Holistic Assessment of Ghana's Health Sector to support his claim, Mr. Nsarko noted that Community-based intervention has contributed to 33% of Family Planning acceptance rate and 51% EPI coverage.

Becoming a Chef is often more of a lifestyle, rather than a job description. Chefs need to demonstrate a passion for food, coupled with a commitment to providing total quality service in culinary arts. When writing your Chef CV, you'll want to set a tone that showcases your passion and creativity.
Your CV will need to highlight your experience in the above areas. In addition, transferable skills, such as a flexible, motivated and proactive approach should be demonstrated. You should also highlight your ability to grasp new concepts quickly, generate fresh and innovative ideas whilst also being able to work within fast-paced customer-oriented working environments.
I am 32 and have always been interested in becoming a Chef. Am I too old to be thinking of changing careers?
You're never too old for a career change! You should contact your local college / university and ask about their courses. Popular courses for people looking at becoming a Chef include: a Diploma in Professional Cookery or a BTEC in Hospitality.
What are the hours like for a Chef?
Chefs generally work long and often unsociable hours, so you'll need to be prepared for this. Because of this, you'll need to discuss this potential change in career with friends or family members as you might not get to see as much of them.
I have just left school and have always been interested in cooking. Are there apprenticeships available for this area?
Yes, apprenticeships are often the best route to becoming a fully qualified chef and normally involved practical, kitchen-based experience, coupled with classroom-based theory.

Any reccomandation on how to do it fast?
Thanks in advance

A: Assuming that the initial dataset is a data.frame (as matrix cannot hold mixed class or else the 'date' would be 'numeric' class.  If it is a numeric class, the below solution still works).  Create a data.frame with 'age' as column from the column names of the matrix/data.frame, mutate to create the 'cum.sales' (from getting the cumulative sum of column sums of the dataset without the 'date' column) and 'salesmaturity' by multiplying the 'cum.sales' with the fraction of 'age' with max(age).
library(dplyr)
d1 <- data.frame(age = as.numeric(colnames(df1)[-1]))
d1 %>%
    mutate(cum.sales = cumsum(colSums(df1[-1])),
            salesmaturity = cum.sales*age/max(age))
#   age cum.sales salesmaturity
#1   1        15          3.75
#2   2        38         19.00
#3   3        65         48.75
#4   4        83         83.00

data
df1 <- structure(list(date = 201601:201604, `1` = c(2L, 3L, 4L, 6L),
`2` = c(4L, 7L, 8L, 4L), `3` = c(6L, 7L, 9L, 5L), `4` = c(1L,
4L, 6L, 7L)), .Names = c("date", "1", "2", "3", "4"),
class = "data.frame", row.names = c(NA, -4L))

Parent volunteers from pre-K through grade 5 identify and organize appropriate community service projects in Dedham and surrounding towns that encourage student involvement and commitment to serving others. The Middle School Community Service Council is comprised of a group of interested students who work with a faculty advisor to identify worthwhile projects for older students.
A variety of projects are sought so that students from all grades have an opportunity to participate in at least two age-appropriate projects every year. Interested parents must attend one meeting per month throughout the school year. Community service projects from past years have included a Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. service morning, sorting clothes and toys at Cradles to Crayons, a Fun Run for Dedham Animal Rescue League, assembling Thanksgiving baskets to benefit the Dedham Food Pantry, making coloring books for the children's pediatric ward at Massachusetts General Hospital, creating welcome bags for residents of the Walker School, and organizing book drives to benefit Horizons and the Italian Home.
Parent Independent Network (PIN) Representative
Melanie Guerra '86
The PIN representative is a DCD parent who attends four meetings during the school year and is responsible for communicating information from these meetings to the DCD parent community. PIN is a volunteer group of parents whose children are students at New England-area independent schools. PIN was formed to help parents share ideas and promote worthy programs at these independent schools. Following each meeting, the DCD PIN representative reports back to the PA and provides parents with access to important information via the DCD website.
The term of a PIN representative is two years. If you are interested in education, being a PIN representative will help you expand your network with other independent schools in New England.
