Palmeiras Under 20 – Match Report vs. Santos Under 20 (25/01/2022)
Palmeiras under 20 won 4-0 against Santos and claimed the Copinha 2022 trophy. They set up in a 4-3-3 which was more often a 4-4-2 and put high pressure on Santos, not giving them time on the ball. Palmeiras created chances very easily through the creativity of Endrick, Giovani and Gabriel Silva, but also through the wings with crosses from Vanderlan and Garcia. Santos failed to perform in the final of the Copinha and the match was already decided after just 20 minutes.
Youth Ratings
1 – Ready for the first team
2 – Good, potential to be first team
3 – Decent, could make first team squad
4 – Decent potential, unlikely to make it to first team
5 – Unlikely to make first team
Current club: Palmeiras
Career: Palmeiras
Secondary Position: Winger
Endrick once again played as a striker and formed a good partnership with Gabriel Silva. The most valuable player of this tournament managed to score an early goal after a Palmeiras cross was poorly defended by Santos. He showed good technique and composure in the box to finish that chance on his stronger left foot. Endrick linked up well with his teammates, particularly Gabriel Silva, and managed to create chances for his teammates but also for himself. The youngster liked to penetrate Santos's defence, but I think he could have sometimes made a run in behind instead of looking to link up with his teammates.
The 15-year-old was very fearless and showed that he does not want to dive. He ran through the whole Santos defence in one action, got kicked multiple times, but managed to stay on his feet and eventually he got awarded the free kick. The striker has explosive acceleration and showed a good pace over a long distance. He has very good dribbling ability and controls the ball well even when he is sprinting at full speed. Endrick's first touch is really good and he is quick on the turn. His timing in aerial duels was really good, this helped him to win aerial duels against taller opponents.
Rating – 2
Endrick confirmed his talent once again and showed exactly the same qualities and 'weaknesses' as last match. Make sure to read that report for a more extensive explanation about his strengths.
Position: Right-Winger
Secondary Position: Left-Winger, Striker
Giovani played as a right-winger and scored the 2-0 for Palmeiras under 20. The Brazilian once again showed good variation in his positioning (click the link for further explanation). The winger created a lot of danger with good runs in behind, but also from receiving the ball in a deeper area. Giovani liked to carry the ball down the line to then move to the inside when his opponent would stick out his leg. The timing of this was less good than last time and his dribbling was quite inconsistent in the first half. He sometimes cut back to his left foot too late which meant that his opponent could kick the ball out for a throw-in. However, one of his dribbles did lead to the expulsion of a Santos player.
The Brazilian winger once again tried a few inswinging crosses from deep, but even though he showed good kicking technique his accuracy was not on point. The crosses were too high and floated too much. Giovani, as mentioned, scored the 2-0. He received the ball on the edge of the box, spotted that the goalkeeper was not well-positioned and curled the ball into the far corner, leaving Santos's goalkeeper without a chance. There was one situation in which Giovani did not make the right decision in the final third. After playing a good one-two with Endrick, Giovani was through on goal but failed to spot his teammate in space and went for glory. However, his effort was saved by Santos's goalkeeper and his teammate was angry that Giovani did not pass the ball to him.
In the early stages of this match, Giovani sometimes lost the ball after trying to play nice backheel passes or trying too much in the 1v1. This is something he should not do in the early stages of a cup final. Defensively, Giovani cut the passing lanes well.
His performance was less impressive than the last match, but I think that he is a very big talent who would be a squad player for the best teams outside of the top 5 leagues.
Secondary Position: Second Striker, Attacking Midfielder
Gabriel Silva often swapped between playing next to Endrick as a striker or playing as an attacking midfielder. The youngster scored two goals and was one of the better players of Palmeiras in this match. Gabriel Silva looks like a very determined player who has a lot of tactical intelligence and is technically gifted. The Santos defenders failed to defend Gabriel Silva properly, as he was always roaming around the pitch. Gabriel Silva made a few good runs in behind and timed these runs really well. His movement in the box was great, too. The Brazilian player controls the ball very well when dribbling and has good changes of direction.
His first goal was the best goal of the morning. Gabriel Silva managed to score a free-kick from 30 meters out. The Brazilian youngster has a great kicking technique and showed this with that free-kick. In the 1v1 duels, Gabriel Silva looked strong to protect the ball and his speed helped him to get away from his marker. He looked really comfortable and dominant in the duels, despite having a relatively small build. His second goal was as impressive as his first goal. After making a good run into the box between both Santos's central defenders, he received a great cross from Vanderlan and he headed the ball past Santos's goalkeeper.
Gabriel Silva's spatial awareness, technical ability and physical ability makes him a very interesting striker for clubs outside the top 5 leagues.
Vanderlan had a good match, assisting two goals. Fabinho once again proved to have great movement in the first phase of the build-up and has great technical ability. Both central defenders looked comfortable on the ball and did not give away a single big chance.

A system useful in a restaurant for processing, controlling and displaying information employing a remote, portable terminal (22, 24, 26) for remote entry of food and drink orders directly to a computer (20) which causes display of order information at kitchen and bar CRT terminals (50, 52). Display of information and entry of data relative to busboy, management and reservations is provided at other fixed terminals whereat other data may be entered.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates generally to a system including a remote, portable computer data entry device to enter data into a computer for processing, control and subsequent communication display, and more particularly, such a system in which the portable data entry device establishes data entry communication with the computer through airwave transmission.
More particularly, this invention relates to such a system which is used to convey and process information relating to operation of a restaurant or the like.
Recent advances in digital electronics have resulted in a variety of computers and other electronic apparatus suitable for use in small businesses. Typically, such personal or small business computers consist of a microprocessor-based, stored program control system for data manipulation, a random access memory, or RAM, for temporary data storage, floppy disk and hard disk drives for permanent large volume data storage, cathode ray tubes, or CRT's, for data entry and communication ' display and printers for hard copy output.
Known small computers are designed for data entry through a keyboard associated with a CRT, printer or both which are directly wire connected with the remain¬ ing portions of the system. Such limited data entry mechanisms restrict the utility of such computers and prevent such computer systems from functioning as effective communication systems. The inability to use such terminals remotely from the computer unless a hard wire connection is made therewith precludes many advantageous applications.
3,937,004; 3,942,157; 3,956,740; 3,976,840; 3,976,995; 4,005,388, 4,007,443. Unfortunately, such data entry devices and the systems associated therewith are inadequate for numerous applications such as inventory taking and control and restaurant operation communica¬ tions because of the need for wire connections between the computer and the various input/output terminals.
1) Reservations are manually recorded on a piece of paper at the reception desk.
2) Upon arrival of the customer, reservations are checked manually.
3) Table . availability is checked, manually.
4) The menu is presented to the customers and then orders are taken manually on an order form.
5) Then the order form or copy of' the order form is hand delivered to the kitchen and/or bar.
7) The waitress returns to the kitchen and/or bar to pick up ordered food and/or drinks and serves the customer.
generally performed manually or occasionally by a stand alone terminal that requires keyboard entry of all order entries.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of this parent invention to provide an apparatus for entry of data to a computer in which a hand held, portable remote entry device is employed that transmits the data to be entered into the computer by airwave transmission. Interfacing means associated with the computer receives the airwave transmitted data, translates the received data into a form suitable for processing by the computer, and provides the translated data to the computer. It is also an object of this invention to provide a remote data entry device in conjunction with a restaurant communication system in which the remote, portable, entry device is used for direct entry of food orders into a computer which, in turn, processes and displays this information at kitchen termina-ls, busboy terminals and other locations to facilitate .and automate key restaurant functions such as table assignments, customer ordertaking, cooking, serving order analysis, inventory control and the like.
-$ϋS.EA customer contacts. The remainder of the service staff can be limited to performance of busbov functions.
Yet another object of the present invention is. to provide an interface for a computer which will 5 receive airwave transmitted data from a remote entry device and convert that data to a format, such as EIA standard format, which can be utilized by a computer.
A further object is to provide a system for direct communication between a computer and a remote entry 0 device in which error detection and correction , Security and cross talk or other interruption prevention features are. provided to facilitate reliable communication.
It is a further objective of the invention to provide a system employing a remote entry device and a computer. 5 in which one or more of the following devices or features are provided therewith.
1) One or more reservation display terminals, such as CRT displaying terminals, for selection and display of meal reservations, table assignments, telephone message 0 and the like.
2) One or more printers for printing itemized bills and reports.

computer or main CPU, 2C with a stored control program; a plurality of remote entry devices 22, 24 and 26 with associated transceiver 36 and an interface circuit 38 for interfacing the main CPU 20 with the remote entry devices 22, 24 and 26. Off line data storage is provided by floppy and/or hard disks with Winchester disk shoe 40 or the like. Other inputs to and/or outputs from the computer 20 are provided by means of a plurality of CRT display terminals including: a printer 44 is coupled with the computer and provides one form of computer output; a modem 43 is provided for interfacing the computer 20 with a telephone network 44; a manager terminal, or MGMT, 46; a reservation/reception terminal, or REST, 48; a kitchen terminal, or KITT, 50; a bar terminal, or BART, 52; and a service terminal or, SERT, 54.
Additional KITT, SERT, BART, REST, PRNT, and/or MGMT may be added in any combination of multiple terminals, or MT's, 56.
remσte entry devices and the computer uses a standard EIA RS 232C type link.
Referring to Fig. 2 remote entry devices are sub¬ stantially identical to one another. Each of them, such as remote entry devices 24 and 26, include a microprocessor or CPO 58 for controlling communica¬ tions, storage and display. An alphanumeric and function keyboard is provided for manual entry of data and for manual control functions. A display, such as an LCD display 62, displays received or transmitted blocks of data in alphanumeric figures. A random access memory 64 is provided for temporary data storage, and a read only memory 66 is provided for program storage. A modulator 68 coupled with the computer 58 is used to impress carrier waves with data to be sent to the computer by transceiver 30 via. a broadcast antenna 29. Data from the computer 20, on the other hand, is demodulated by ' a demodulator 72 and coupled to the microprocessor 58 through suitable interfacing circuitry (not shown) . The interface 34 likewise has a modulator 74 and a demodulator 76 for data to and from the remote entry devices.
Referring to Fig. 3, the remote entry devices may be very similar to commercially available hand held computers, such as made by Radio Shack or Matsushita with additional suitable hardware and software added for airwave communication. In addition to standard alphabetic keys 78 and numeric keys 80, control keys and associated computer functions are provided to simplify operation.
A key 84, labelled CAN, allows cancellation of customer orders previously entered.
A key 86 labelled RECALL allows easy retrieval and display for amendment of customer orders previously entered.
The key 88, labelled FOR for forward and the key 90 labelled REV for reverse permits forward and reverse scanning on display 62 of individual orders associated with a given table order. Further control function keys include key 92 labbelled CHECK IN/OUT, which is used when a waitress wishes to check-in and check-out at the beginning and end of work shift, as will be explained in greater detail with reference to Fig. 6. ' * A key 94 labelled REP is enabled whenever the computer is either in. he RECALL or the NEW mode to repeat entry of the same order when actuated. For instance, if four people ordered the same menu item", instead of the waitress keying, in each item four times individually, the entry could, be made simply by pressing the REP key three times after the initial entry is keyed in.
A key 96 labelled HELP is actuated when the user needs assistance to determine the meaning of pre— defined.menu codes. The system is .designed so that if menu code 101 stood for crab legs, then depres¬ sing key 96 and keying in the.number 101 will cause the display 62 to show CRAB LEGS.
A plurality of lights are provided to indicate the overall status of the remote entry device. A light 106 labelled ONLINE LIGHT shows whether remote entry device is in communication with the computer.
Light 108, labelled BUSY signifies that the airwave communication channel with the computer is occupied by another remote entry device.
Light 110, labelled RCHG is provided to indicate when the battery power source of the remote entry device needs recharging. Alternately these status indications are provided on -the twenty-four character display 62 by appropriate messages, rather than by light indicators. Each of the remote entry devices also has a small antenna 112 to capture airwave signals trans¬ mitted by the computer 20 through interface 34.
The format for communication between remote entry devices 22,.24, and 26 and the computer 20 is illustrated in Figs. 4, 5 and 6. First the RED has food order data entered into it and the ENTER key 91 is actuated to send the data to the computer 20. In response to actuation of the ENTER key 91, the RED transmits an identification number code to the computer, Upon receipt of the identification, or ID number, the computer verifies that the number is a valid number from a list of valid numbers. If so, the computer sends the same ID number to all the RED's. Only the original RED which receives back to its own ID number is authorized to use the communication link for data transmission and is enabled to transmit. All other RED' s which received a number other than their own ID number are locked out and prevented from communicating until the computer sends a release code. The authorized RED then transmits in binary aεynchronis form,with start and stop pulses, a block of data, a block number or parity block' and its identification number, ID. The first transmission of the ID signifies start of data, and the last ID number signifies the end of data.
proper block parity, the computer sends a release signal which is received by all RED's. This unlocks all of the REDf s and enables them to initiate communication with the. computer 20. If the data is received with error, the computer sends a retransmit code and the data must be retransmitted by the authorized RED.
The overall frame format of the data transmission is shown in Figure 4. While other coding formats could be used, it is prefered to use an ASCII code format with start, stop, and parity pulses. A seven or eight bit ASCII is adequate to efficiently transmit the food order and other information to the computer. Since there are multiple RED's it is possible that initially in the process of capturing the com¬ munication channel that more than one RED could transmit its ID number at the-exact same time, resulting in contention. In this event, the computer 20 will fail to recognize either ID# even ihough authorized and will send a release code. Upon receipt of the release code, each of the RED's will retransmit its data block in accordance with a built in, random retransmission sequence. So. that one of the RED's involved in contention will retransmit automatically before the other, and this captures the communication channel. In very large systems, multiple channels may be used so that plural RED's may simultaneously communicate with the _ computer 20.
The system of the present invention functions in accord ance with the logic flow chart of Fig. 7. As seen, reserva¬ tion information is entered into the computer from, and displayed at, the reservation terminal 48. In addition to the internal reservation information, the system provides for the display of messages to the parties for which reservations are made at the reservation terminal 48.
As also illustrated in Fig. 7, the orders entered by the RED is processed by the computer 20, and displayed at the kitchen terminal 50 and the bar terminal 52. The kitche terminal 50 and bar terminal 52 also have means for requesti information relating to completion of orders for pickup. The computer 20 processes the information and displays it at the service terminal 52 when orders are ready for service Finally, the computer operates a bill based on the order, an controls printer 42 to print the bill.
1. The customer calls to make a reservation. The reservation terminal 48 display is used to determine the reservation status, and reservation data is entered in the computer based on such display.
2. The customer arrives at the restaurant and confirms his reservation. If made in advance at the receiption desk through the reservation terminal 48, the display verifies th prior reservation. At this point any telephone messages would be displayed upon request at the reservation terminal 48 and conveyed to the customer.
3. Based on table availability as shown at the reserva tion terminal display through the floor status display, Fig. 10, a specific table is assigned. The name of the customer is enterd for future telephoen messages, credit verification and personalized billing, etc.
5. The computer sorts these orders and displays them at the appropriate terminals for food and beverage prepara¬ tion. For instance, drink orders are displayed at the bar terminal 52 and food orders are displayed at the kitchen terminal 50.
6. Once food and/or drinks are ready, the cook and/or bartender would enter into the computer at their associated terminals the information that the orders are completed, and ready for pickup.
7. The computer then displays the completion status of the order on the display of the service terminal 54 to indicated that it is ready to be served.
8. After the order is served, the busboy enters this information into the computer 20 at the service terminal 54. The computer then transmits this information to the associated RED to alert the waitress for service- or supervision.
9. The waitress may change the order or add new items on the order using appropriate RED commands at any time.
In addition, .take-out orders, room-service, delivery order entries are optional abilities of the system.
10. Final billing would then be initiated by the waitres using an appropriate command on. the RED. _ The bill would then be computed by the computer. Billing is done by group or individually, and- the bills are printed on the printer 42.
11. At this time pertinent data such as table number, waitress number, food order, etc. would be stored with the background record- with date, time, etc., for order analysis, inventory management, etc,- as illustrated in Fig. 9.
More specifically, 'the various input and communication display functions for these terminals and the like functions performed in association with these and other terminals, are illustrated, in Fig. 8.
The initiating system, or background information perma¬ nently stored in the computer and used for the appropriate dis¬ plays of the various terminals and used to generate other information necessary to automate the restaurant system, is shown in Fig. 9.

CHICAGO and GAITHERSBURG, Md. -- Iomai Corporation announces that travelers who received the company's patch-based travelers' diarrhea vaccine were significantly less likely to be sickened as compared with travelers who receive a placebo, according to research presented today by chief scientific officer Gregory Glenn, MD, at a late-breaker presentation during the "Vaccines and Pediatric Infections" session of the 47th annual meeting of the Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) being held in Chicago.
"We have demonstrated that vaccinated travelers can dramatically cut their risk of diarrhea by using our needle-free patch," said Glenn, Iomai's founder. "Those who received the Iomai vaccination were much less likely to get sick, and those who were sickened had far milder illness than those who received a placebo. These are clinically significant results that suggest that the patch vaccine will address the most significant unmet need for travel medicine: prophylaxis for travelers' diarrhea."
The study found that of the 59 individuals who received the novel, patch-based vaccine, only three suffered moderate or severe diarrhea, while 23 of the 111 who received a placebo suffered moderate or severe diarrhea, a 75 percent reduction (p=0.007). One of the 59 volunteers in the vaccine group reported severe diarrhea, compared with 12 of the 111 in the placebo group, an 84 percent reduction (p=0.033).
"The results presented at ICAAC are the most robust ever shown in the prevention of travelers' diarrhea, and they suggest we may be near a turning point in the prevention of this common, often-serious disease," said Herbert L. DuPont, MD, professor and director of the Center for Infectious Diseases at the University of Texas School of Public Health and the principal investigator on the trial. "If Phase 3 trials for the vaccine validate these results, those of us in travel medicine will have an excellent new weapon in our arsenal."
The research was conducted in collaboration with researchers from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and the University of Texas School of Public Health.
Iomai plans to begin a Phase 3 program for the needle-free vaccine patch vaccine in 2008.
"We are moving this product ahead as quickly as possible," said CEO Stanley C. Erck. "This is a pressing, unmet medical need. Travelers' diarrhea is the most common travel ailment in the world, yet there are no effective vaccines available for the condition. A recently completed market study suggests that there is a $750 million market for effective protection against travelers' diarrhea, an opportunity that we are well-positioned to target."
The Trek Study followed 170 travelers to Mexico and Guatemala. Each volunteer received either two doses of the Iomai vaccine patch or a placebo, two to three weeks apart, with the last dose administered a week before travel. Travelers kept detailed diaries and received in-country checkups. The study met its primary endpoints, which were designed to evaluate the safety of the vaccine and the incidence of enterotoxigenic E. coli (ETEC) bacteria -- the most common cause of travelers' diarrhea. No vaccine-related serious adverse events were reported.
Of the few vaccinated patients who were sickened, the diarrhea lasted only half a day on average, while those in the placebo group endured two days of illness and more than twice as many loose stools. Although not statistically significant, the frequency of new-onset irritable bowel syndrome, a long-term consequence of travelers' diarrhea, was three times greater in placebo than vaccine recipients.
Iomai's vaccine uses an ETEC toxin delivered via a skin patch using the company's novel transcutaneous immunization (TCI) technology. ETEC causes illness through the toxins it produces, including one known as heat-labile toxin or LT. Iomai's unique patch-based vaccine enables the safe administration of this potent immunogen into the skin to stimulate the immune response.
This year, approximately 55 million international travelers will visit countries where bacteria that cause travelers' diarrhea are endemic, particularly Africa, Asia and Latin America, and about 20 million of those travelers will develop travelers' diarrhea.
A recently completed market study suggested that there is a large market for an effective travelers' diarrhea vaccine, potentially exceeding $750 million annually. If approved, the Iomai vaccine would be the first vaccine for travelers' diarrhea available in the United States.
ETEC's impact goes beyond travelers. The World Health Organization estimates that children in the developing world suffer 210 million episodes of diarrhea caused by ETEC annually, causing 380,000 deaths each year.

The Ammonellipsitinae  is a subfamily (one of two) within the Pericyclidae, a family within the goniatitid superfamily Pericycloidea from the Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian) characterized by having a suture in which the sides of the ventral lobe diverge and the  first lateral saddle is acute or subacute, and in which the immature and juvenile shell has a wide umbilicus.

Of the four genera so far included, Fascipericyclus, Helicocyclus, and Stenocyclus were once considered subgenera of Pericyclus. The type genus, Ammonellisites was also included in the older Pericylitinae that was part of the Goniatitidae in Miller et al. (1960)

Ammonellipsitinae have been found mostly in Europe but some have been found in North America (US) as well

After we have photographed the civil ceremony of Mona & Thorsten at Schloss Hofstetten, we followed the wedding crowd to Gut Sedlbrunn next day. It was time to prepare for the big day of Mona & Thorsten. They live in Munich and had some ideas for their fest, which needed to be done.
Additionally, a chinese tea ceremony had to be prepared, which was contrasted by traditional Bavarian clothing. Thorsten grew up in Munich and has an Indonesian mother with Chinese roots. He worked in Jakarta/Indonesia for some years. That's where he met Mona.
They often smile thinking about the flow of events which took them so far away from home so they could cross each others paths.
The wedding day brought lots of surprises. Mona had secretly rented a VW Beatle, Thorstens favorite oldtimer. Another surprising moment came when the Indonasian priest gave Mona and Thorsten gifts for their union. One of the gifts was a song – precisely: "Can you feel the love tonight" from Elton John. When he started to sing in his beauitful full voice nobody could believe their ears – it was perfect. Maybe the first time that ever happened in a Bavarian catholic church.

Double-Dutch: An Exhibition by Sam Kirk
IPaintMyMind Presents Double Dutch: An Exhibition by Sam Kirk
Tunes by DJ Demchuk | Drinks by Arbor
Sam Kirk, shares her experience bouncing between Chicago and Brooklyn for the past two years. After visiting New York annually for over a decade, Kirk self-funded her own "residency" which included a second studio and home in Brooklyn, NY — to immerse herself in culture, fall in love, and explore the layers of her multiracial and queer identity. Residing in Chicago for over 30 years, the city lives in her soul. However, while developing her art practice, she began to yearn for a mixture of cultures that engaged with each other throughout blurred neighborhood lines. An intense appetite for culture and a desire for unfiltered expression, she split her time between Chicago and Brooklyn to challenge herself to grow beyond the boundaries placed in front of her.
Through illustrations, paintings, and interactive artworks, "Double-Dutch" provides a view into Kirk's appreciation for the vast differences of two of the most dynamic cities in the U.S. Filled with experiences that include memories of cultural histories washed out by gentrification, the blooming of multicultural movements, and gratitude for the work done by the generations before us, Double Dutch shares her journey as she jumps between these cities exploring culture, identity, and love.

"The band and I had the privilege of visiting a number of orphanages (and a children's hospital) during our time touring around Russia. In this photo, we're posing with a few of the girls from an orphanage in Yekaterinburg. After playing a few songs for them, we asked the children to sing a few songs for us. I couldn't remove the smile from my face. While I didn't understand most of what they sang, my heart didn't have to. Beyond money, sometimes showing up is the best way to engage in 'charity.'"

Matthew Perry Credits Jennifer Aniston For Helping Him Through His 'Friends' Drinking Days – Deadline
Matthew Perry remember one Friends costar who tried to help him with his drinking problem – Jennifer Aniston.
Speaking to ABC News journalist Diane Sawyer in a trailer dropping on October 28, Perry recalls the time Aniston – whom he calls "Jenny" – confronted him about his problem. She said, Sawyer reminded Perry, "We know you drink."
Perry confirmed the incident.
"Imagine how scary that moment was," he said. "She was the biggest achiever, you know. I am really grateful to her for that."
Perry was in the spotlight as he struggled with addiction. The actor tells all in a new book, Friends, Lovers, and the Big Awful Thing: A Memoirwhich comes out November 1st.
Perry said People earlier that he was in the early stages of alcoholism when Friends started. That problem grew worse in the following years, to the point four years ago, his colon burst from using opioids. Perry was in a coma for two weeks, hospitalized for five, and wore a colostomy bag for nine months.
The clip reveals Perry telling Sawyer that he was taking "55 Vicodin a day," along with Methadone, Xanax and a full quart of vodka.
"At the time, I should have been the toast of the town," Perry said. Instead, "I was in a dark room meeting with nothing but drug dealers, and completely alone."
Perry claims he's now sober during the interview, but won't reveal a timeline for that transformation.

Paula Bullock Veterinarian Explores Labrador Retriever's Place as Nation's Favorite Dog
July 8, 2020 | admin123 | Paula Bullock
Beating the German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, and French Bulldog to the top spot, the Labrador Retriever has once again been named the nation's favorite dog breed by the American Kennel Club, and it's certainly not for the first time, as Paula Bullock veterinarian finds out. Here, the North Carolina-based expert and lifelong animal lover explores the breed's incredible 28-year reign as America's best-loved variety of pooch.
Based on registration statistics for the past 12 months, the American Kennel Club releases an annual list of its most popular breeds nationwide. Last year, the ever-popular Labrador Retriever topped the list ahead of the German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, French Bulldog, and Bulldog, which took second through fifth place, respectively. "It comes as little surprise that the Labrador Retriever should top the list once more," says Paula Bullock veterinarian, speaking from her office in North Carolina, "having now been the most popular breed, according to the American Kennel Club, since 1991."
The whole top five, in fact, Paula Bullock veterinarian goes on to reveal, has now remained unchanged since 2017. "In 2017, the smaller French Bulldog replaced the Beagle, and the thick-set, low-slung traditional Bulldog fell from fourth place into fifth," she explains.
Prior to this, the Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Golden Retriever, Beagle, and Bulldog had ranked first through fifth since 2013, according to the expert. "Although change is slow to occur at the top of the list generally speaking, it's incredible to think that the nation's favorite dog breed has remained unchanged for almost 30 years," says Paula Bullock veterinarian.
Born in Lumberton, following high school, Paula Bullock attended North Carolina State University for undergraduate and veterinary medicine. She graduated in 1993 and completed an internship at Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, before taking her first job at an emergency facility back in Raleigh, close to where she studied at North Carolina State University. "It's amazing that, for as long as I've been a qualified veterinarian, our favorite dog breed in America has not changed," Bullock points out.
According to Paula Bullock veterinarian, the Labrador Retriever's place as the nation's favorite breed of pooch comes down largely to its temperament. "Friendly, active, and outgoing, Labrador Retrievers make great pets," she explains.
Sweet-faced and lovable, Labrador Retrievers are, Paula Bullock veterinarian says, also high-spirited companions, perfect for individuals or couples, and often similarly suited to family life, too. "Sweet-faced and lovable, Labrador Retrievers typically have more than enough affection to go around," she reports, "regularly making them a wonderful choice for families looking for a medium-to-large dog."
The Labrador Retriever was first recognized by the American Kennel Club in 1917 as its 74th breed. They now recognize a total of 196 distinct dog breeds, according to Paula Bullock veterinarian. "In addition to being America's favorite dog breed among families, couples, and individuals alike, the Labrador Retriever," adds the North Carolina-based veterinarian, wrapping up, "is also among the top breeds selected to be trained for guide dog duties, and to work in life-saving search and rescue roles, both in the U.S. and elsewhere around the world."

We saw an opportunity to collaborate on an ongoing basis with the creative community itself to bring the product to life in an unexpected way. One of the key developments was to really leverage illustration and animation at the core of the site, that would actively reflect the usage behaviours of the product through interactions that took place in the product usage i.e. drag and drop, button pressing etc.
The design leverages the time blocks used in the product as a navigation bar for product features. Within each section, animations are integrated into the site using sprite sheets, allowing users to drag, push, poke, tap and play with each of the illustrations on the page no matter the device, while simultaneously discovering what makes Streamtime tick.

Banks Don't Reward Loyalty: ACC
Most banks don't reward loyalty so customers need to haggle for a better mortgage rate or miss out on $850 a year in savings, the ACCC's latest inquiry has found. The ACCC Residential Price Inquiry has found that "only 11% of borrowers with variable rate mortgages had the price of their current residential mortgage reduced by one of the five banks under review in FY2018". It found banks were generally not rewarding loyal customers but instead offering bigger discounts to new customers coming on board. "An existing borrower with an average-sized mortgage could initially save up to $850 a year in interest if they negotiated to pay the same interest rate as the average new borrower," the ACCC report says. "For many borrowers, the gain will be much larger." And it found that part of the reason for such a small take-up — and why banks have not moved to reward existing customers as much — was that it was hard to get information on better rates, let alone change deals.
Soft Landing Most Likely, Says OECD
The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development says Australia's long span of economic growth, 27 consecutive years, is likely to continue – and that the Sydney and Melbourne housing markets are "on track for a soft landing". In its latest Australian economic survey, the OECD says: "Life is good, with high levels of well-being, including health and education. Robust economic growth is set to continue. "New capacity coming on stream in the resources sector will support exports and business investment will pick up. The growth of wages and prices will rise gradually, while the unemployment rate will edge lower." The OECD says the most likely outcome for the housing market in the biggest cities is a soft landing and that a housing crash is unlikely. But it says the housing market could pose a risk to the nation's economic growth going forward. "Financial supervisors and bank regulators should be prepared in the event of a hard landing in the housing market," the report says. "High indebtedness of households remains a risk."
Banks Ease Squeeze-On Lending
The banks are easing their squeeze on new mortgages with new loans to investors rising in October for the first time since February, alongside an increase in loans to owner-occupiers. The proportion of first-home buyers in the home loan market rose to 18.1%, a six-year high. There was a 2.3% rise in new mortgage approvals in October, following falls in the previous two months. The October rise was the strongest growth rate since July 2017. Westpac senior economist Matthew Hassan says the previous weakness in loan approvals may have related to processing delays as lenders apply more rigorous assessments. Loan approvals rose in all states except WA, which suggests an easing in new mortgage supply bottlenecks. In annual terms, loans in total are down 4.8%, mainly due to the investor drop-off. But CommSec senior economist Ryan Felsman says first-home buyers continue to be very active. "The average home-loan size lifted in October, suggesting some buyers are still gaining access to sizeable loans, despite tighter lending standards," he says.
Renovation Boom Hits Historic High
Home renovations have hit a record high, sealing 2018 as the Year of the Reno for Aussie families. Latest ABS data shows that private investment in alterations and additions reached to a historic high of $9.896 billion in the September Quarter, 11% higher than a year ago. "Australia's home renovations sector enjoyed its busiest quarter in 14 years during the three months to September 2018," says MBA Chief Economist Shane Garrett. He says all signs are pointing to this figure rising further, with many families deciding to renovate their existing home rather than relocate to new ones. "Australia's home renovations industry may be an unintended beneficiary of the tougher lending policies," he says. "Looking further out, we are almost certain to see further gains for home renovations. More detached houses were built in late 1980s Australia than at any time before or since. More and more of these will be begging for major renovations work in the coming years."
RBA Paves Way for Rate Cuts
The Reserve Bank has paved the way for further cuts to the official interest rate. In a major speech this week, RBA deputy governor Guy Debelle said the RBA was prepared to "go fast, go hard and not die wondering" by stimulating the economy. He also said that a lending slowdown could hurt the economy, commenting: "There is a risk that a reduced appetite to lend will overly curtail borrowing with consequent effects for the Australian economy." Noting the Reserve Bank had "repeatedly" said the next move in interest rates was more likely up than down, Debelle said there was "still scope for further reductions in the policy rate".
"It is the level of interest rates that matters and they can still move lower," he said, in remark¬s that could foreshadow a reappraisal of the outlook by the Reserve Bank board when it next meets in February. The official interest rate has been unchanged since August 2016, when former governor Glenn Stevens reduced the cash rate to a record low of 1.5% – the final in a series of cuts that has seen the rate fall from a 10-year peak of 4.75 per cent in late 2011.
"The average home-loan size lifted in October, suggesting some buyers are still gaining access to sizeable loans, despite tighter lending standards by banks and a slowdown in approval-processing times."

Web Hosting: The best way to Begin FAST!
So you're prepared to begin your own web site? Congratulations! Here's five things to do that are simple without wasting any time to begin!
Measure 1: How does it operate?
In order for the web site to be accessible to anybody at anytime, you should host it using an internet host. In other words: you require a web server rent for you with a webhost.
Measure 2: Which sort of website does one would like?
Inactive websites (uncomplicated websites): you'll construct one or even more webpages (called HTML webpages) with applications like DreamWeaver in your pc. You'll then upload the webpages to your own host's server utilizing FTP applications such as FileZilla for instance.
Each and every time that you'll need to alter something in your website, you add them and will need certainly to edit the pages in your pc. The internet site never changes alone. That it's called a " website that is static.
Note: Don't stress, in the event you don't have any applications: many Web Hosting companies will in actuality offer you free "site builder applications that is " to get you started.
This app enables you to add and edit content (text, images, videos…) at any time straight on the web with no need for absolutely any specific tools in your desktop. The program might also enable your people to depart comments in the event you permit them, or begin discussions of their own.
Note: Don't stress, if installing a web-application seems complicated: many Web Hosting companies will automatically install the program of your selection for you personally. Their technical assistance also needs to have the capacity to aid you.
Measure 3: Which Hosting engineering does one need?
This is undoubtedly the most often used system now.
Windows Hosting: this is, in addition, called ASP Hosting. ASP is Microsoft technologies for web programs. In the event that you plan to operate a web-application created expressly in ASP, you simply wish to utilize this.
Linux Hosting is usually more rapid, more affordable and much more adaptable than Windows Hosting and presents no compatibility issue in any respect, whichever OS you are using in the function or at home.
Measure 4: What Hosting service degree does one need?
Free Hosting ($0): this is like common Hosting (listed under) but over-loaded with advertising which you can't eliminate and usually quite slow. You only ought to use this for little private websites that do not require to operate 24×7.
A huge server will host the internet sites of several customers that are distinct. Each customer has its account – on seri ous and though /safety conscious Hosting firms – is isolated from several other customers.
Again several web sites but this time will be hosted by a big server, the web sites are firmly isolated from each other like they were really on different servers. When you yourself have security restraints this really is recommended.
Dedicated Servers ($7-9 to $399/month): Here you get an entire real server on your own. That's quick, quite comfy and safe… but expensive!
Cloud Hosting (Costs around the area) : in this situation your web site shares various hosts with other websites. What this means is the resources assigned to to it can row and that the website isn't restricted to the strength of an individual server and shrink ondemand rely on simply how much visitors you get. This really is interesting only for websites that are really big and you likely don't wish to get directly into the sophistication of this kind of remedy, when you're just getting started.
As your website grows many folks focus on shared Hosting, understanding you always have the option to upgrade later. Common Hosting provides you specialist website Hosting abilities in the fraction of the cost of a a separate server.
Plenty of businesses offer unbelievable disk room and bandwidth to host your website. Don't drop because of it!
Operation: how fast will your website be? The greatest means would be to have a look at a web site you understand is previously hosted by the organization you've got in your mind. You may also be considering our evaluation websites.
User opinions and critiques provides you with an idea rather fast.
Also recall: you get that which you really purchase! Affordable costs (except perhaps for small time demo offers) consistently mean you'll need certainly to compromise on the pace of your website, the access to your website (up time) or the standard of the TS. Therefore, if you're only getting the feet wet, it is possible to get a bundle that is low-cost and you also always have the option to upgrade later.

How Is AI Driving the Future of Transportation?
January 7, 2022	• 0 Comment
Artificial intelligence is one of the most disruptive technologies the world has seen. It's everywhere today, from cultivating your recommended videos to helping companies make strategic business decisions. One of its most exciting applications is transportation.
The transportation AI market could grow to $3.5 billion by 2023, more than double what it was in 2017. Perhaps more surprisingly, AI is already a common part of people's daily commutes. This technology doesn't just hold potential for the future but is already shaping transportation.
Here's a closer look at how AI has influenced transport today and where it could go from here.
Self-Driving Functions
When most people think of AI and vehicles, their minds probably go to autonomous driving.
"Self-driving cars wouldn't be possible without machine vision and other AI algorithms to help them recognize objects and navigate potentially risky roads."
Since driving involves so many factors and split-second decisions, these AI models are some of the most advanced out there.
As driverless vehicles populate the world's roads, transportation will become safer and more efficient. Machines can't get distracted or intoxicated, so self-driving cars could bring road accidents down to just eight per year by 2040. They could also reduce fuel consumption by 10% annually by adapting to changing factors that affect mileage.
While most talk about driverless vehicles today revolves around cars and trucks, they could apply in other situations, too. Boats and aeroplanes, which go through less traffic and take longer, often more direct routes, may even be better-suited to autonomous driving.
Self-driving functions may seem like something out of the future, but some are already commonplace. New cars like the Mustang Mach-E have lane-keep assist features and automated emergency braking, which fill the gaps where human drivers make mistakes.
In Summary: AI helps drivers avoid crashes today and will automate driving entirely in the future.
AI and Electric Vehicles
AI is also influencing another popular transportation trend: electric vehicles (EVs). If EVs are going to be a viable replacement for fossil fuel vehicles, they need to be convenient. Limited ranges can hinder that, turning drivers away, but AI can help.
Did You Know: Car companies today use AI to make more accurate predictions about electric car ranges.
While EVs today have an impressive median range of 250 miles, various factors, especially driving behavior, can change that. Ford found a solution by using AI to adjust range predictions in real-time. The Mach-E analyzes how fast drivers like to go, the weather, and data from other vehicles to provide more accurate range predictions.
In the future, this concept could go further. AI could adjust various factors in an EV according to drivers' habits to maximize its range. AI could also help carmakers design more efficient and affordable batteries by simulating various options.
AI Navigation
Did You Know: AI is already a crucial part of navigation for shipping companies, and it could make GPS apps even more helpful in the future.
One of the more recognizable appearances of AI in transportation today is navigation. AI models in GPS systems help find the fastest or most fuel-efficient route, saving drivers time and money. Logistics companies have latched on to this technology, with UPS saving 100 million miles a year thanks to its AI routing system.
AI is ideal for navigation because it can quickly account for so many different influencing factors. Transportation sectors like shipping and air travel, where dynamic weather is a bigger concern, could become far safer and more efficient with these tools.
AI navigation could soon move past map-based routing, too. Google's DeepMind AI is already learning to navigate without maps, using visual cues and landmarks to determine its position instead. Systems like this could help guide drivers through unfamiliar environments, like when road closures make maps inaccurate.
Intelligent Traffic Management
In the future, AI could go beyond helping people navigate traffic and influence traffic itself. As smart city infrastructure grows, roadways will have a wealth of real-time data. AI could take this data and adjust things like traffic lights and lane openings accordingly to reduce traffic.
AI could gather data from connected vehicles and infrastructure to see where traffic is increasing or likely to increase. It could then change lights, open or close lanes, and adjust navigation systems' routes to alleviate congestion. This technology could also detect illegal behaviour that may cause traffic and report it, helping crackdown on unsafe driving habits.
These systems are already in use in 23 cities across Asia. AI traffic management brought Hangzhou, which once ranked as the fifth most congested city in China, down to the 57th most congested city. As more cities implement similar systems, traffic jams and accidents could become a thing of the past.
"AI could use traffic data to alleviate congestion and prevent accidents, and it's already starting to do so."
AI Is Revolutionizing Transportation
Whether people realize it or not, AI has changed transportation. It's already guiding cars, streamlining shipping routes, eliminating traffic jams, and keeping roads safe. As this technology improves, its impact will only grow. AI is more than just a nice thing to have in vehicles. Before long, it will redefine them.

Ken Lum's I-70 Installation
Art & Design	 May 14, 2019
A conversation with artist Ken Lum
by Nora Rosenthal
On leading the life of an artist, the problem with public art and what we can expect from his upcoming Montreal events.
Ken Lum has been working as an artist since the late 1970s. His work has spanned photography, typography, writing and sculpture, often examining personal identity and historical struggles with an intense yet playful sensibility. He presently serves as chair of fine arts at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Design in Philadelphia.
This month, A-B-Z, in association with Artexte and Concordia University Press, has organized a talk and workshop with Lum. We spoke about the moral paradoxes of becoming an artist, his interests in graphic design and, in true professorial fashion, Lacan.
Nora Rosenthal: I'm especially curious about the moment when you chose to pursue art as a career. I was reading about how you were going to become a scientist and instead turned to art. How do you see that decision, looking back?
Ken Lum: Other than fateful?
I would say I probably never really wanted to be a scientist. Sometimes you go on these paths and I was quite young at the time still. You know the idea of a creative dimension? Science is very rigid, very strict. You have creativity but it's always bracketed. I would say at some point I'm sure I would have left it. I'm glad I left it then.
NR: You talk about the role of the artist being "to give expression to his or her experience in a continuous act of self-definition." Could you comment on what that process looks like to you and how long you've thought about art in these terms?
KL: Well, I think art is not just about material production. Obviously that's important, that's what defines being an artist — you have to make art — but I also think leading the life of an artist is important. That is, looking at art as something that is beyond material production, as a means to come to an understanding of one's relationship to the world. So that means that you theorize the world through your art, through your thoughts, through your being and I guess that's always something I've believed in even before I was mature enough to recognize it.
NR: For young artists starting out, how should they balance a pretty cynical assessment of arts institutes as moneyed privileged places with their desire to actually be successful? With the increasing assumption that art success is hinged on attending the "right" art school?
KL: First of all I don't think there's any singular path to being an artist. The first advice I would give is that you have to be clear-eyed about the reality of how art is both noble and ignoble, in the sense that art is implicated in the monetized system like pretty much everything else in the world. That can be jarring because I think most artists go into making decisions about becoming artists because they believe in very pure and idealistic notions of art.
That can be a rude awakening when those ideals are challenged by reality that has nothing to do with ideals but more with business and commerce and so on. I don't think young artists should go into the art system with a Pollyanna attitude but it's also paradoxically vital for young artists to maintain a sense of the idealism that led them into a decision about being an artist in the first place.
I won't presume to advise in terms of how each young artist should negotiate that contradiction but it's a contradiction they need to recognize and not shy away from and come to their own terms of what is morally acceptable for them. There is an ethos that I think every artist needs to maintain if only to salvage something of the idealism that propels one into art.
NR: I'm interested in your work with as well as your criticism of public art and I think sometimes as people living in a city we can become a little inured to what's here. Since you're coming to Montreal, is there any public art here that you either enjoy or whose history you feel ambivalent about or otherwise care to draw our attention to?
KL: I'm not that familiar with the public art in Montreal but I'm sure I would feel ambivalent about a lot of these colonial reminders, all the kind of British statuary and so on. I mean I think it's also interesting to look at, I'm not saying they need to be rid of, but I do think they need to be thought of in the context of the overall inventory of public art and be thought of critically and reflectively and also historically in terms of issues that still beset modern day Quebec.
About Montreal in terms of public art, but not site-specifically, I'm really interested in the very ebullient, optimistic, fun, structured abstract sculptures from the late '50s through to the end of the '60s. I think it's interesting because that was the apogee in terms of a certain Montreal in the context of Canada.
NR: If there was one text by you or someone else that you would recommend someone read as part of considering your body of work, what would it be?
KL: What comes to mind is Pouvoirs de l'Horreur by Julia Kristeva. Power of Horror. It's a fantastic text because it's about the idea of the condition of abjection, of the abject. I'm really interested in the way she frames it. The abject breaks down our identification of ourselves as subjects and ourselves as possible objects and it exposes us — our belly button, and it's frightening. It's frightening because it allows the insertion of what Lacan called the Real.
The Real is what is not spoken, what is not acknowledged, what is not needed, what is not listened to, what is not empowered. The Real is all the things that we don't talk about. For example, I mentioned a moment ago the colonial statuary, colonial statuary which is ostensibly about honouring the leaders in Montreal at a certain time, and also they express something which is not said, which is the oppression of people, the putdown of francophones, the non-representation of native people and that traumatic relationship.
I'm also interested in the unsaid because the unsaid is always palpable. It's always discernible at the same time as it may not be apparent through the iconography. What is unsaid is the Real. So according to Freud — I realize I'm turning into a professor now — but the abject has to be constantly purified. We look at art as a means to purify the abject because we can't always be abject, but I'm really interested in using art in an inverse way to call up the abject, to call up the Real. So that book comes to mind. It's a really important book to me.
NR: What can people expect in this workshop in May?
KL: Well I have a lot of thoughts in terms of the world of graphic design. I'm not a graphic designer and some people refer to me as a typographer (which I don't consider myself but I am interested in typography). I really think that especially in the age of the internet it's amazing how undertheorized graphic design is. You know there's lots of theories of text, the relationship of the reader to the text and so on, but there's very little in terms of the pictorial generating dimensions of text. I think it's because it's just everywhere — it blankets us.
I'm interested in that and I'm interested in how, [with] changes in eras, there are certain propensities in terms of how type is organized, whether it's on the page or on the screen or on a shop sign. But what I'm really interested in is how certain ways of imagining the world disappear when there are epochal changes in terms of even the stylistic decisions that go into graphic design. I'm always tying it back to the body and to the imaging of the self in the world. That's what I'll be talking about. ■

Here's United's original international configuration of their Boeing 767-300 fleet for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.
Seating a total of 206 passengers, first class offered 10 seats in the 2-1-2 configuration, business class (then called Connoisseur Class) was in the typical 2-2-2 layout with 38 seats and coach seated 158 passengers in the 2-3-2 format.
Rows 13 and 14 were the crew rest seats on international flights, but were often available for revenue passengers when this aircraft flew domestic routes. The first class seats did recline to 180 degrees, as I recall, and seat pitch in business class was actually pretty tight by today's standards (about 42").
I worked for United in 1998 and loved non-revving on this bird. My favorite seats were 2A/F and 6A/F. Truth be told, I was fortunate to have always scored a first or business seat back then. I'd go for 16A/G in economy, of course, if I had to pick. Keep in mind this was pre-Economy Plus.
Loved that plane – how many times I did LHR-JFK-LHR I do not recall on it!
Cool! What were the row 13/14 about? Business, economy, crew rest?
@downhillcrasher: Thanks for pointing that out – those were crew rest seats internationally, but available domestically as coach seats.
@Ryan: Sorry you got airsick… glad it was only the one time, though.
