FDA Issues Alert Regarding SARS-CoV-2 Viral Mutation to Health Care Providers and Clinical Laboratory Staff
U.S. Food and Drug Administration sent this bulletin at 01/08/2021 12:20 PM EST

Impact on molecular tests remains low
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is alerting clinical laboratory staff and health care providers that the FDA is monitoring the potential impact of viral mutations, including an emerging variant from the United Kingdom known as the B.1.1.7 variant, on authorized SARS-CoV-2 molecular tests, and that false negative results can occur with any molecular test for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 if a mutation occurs in the part of the virus's genome assessed by that test. The SARS-CoV-2 virus can mutate over time, like all viruses, resulting in genetic variation in the population of circulating viral strains, as seen with the B.1.1.7 variant. The FDA is taking additional actions to ensure authorized tests remain accurate by working with test developers and conducting ongoing data analysis to evaluate all currently authorized molecular tests. The FDA believes the risk that these mutations will impact overall testing accuracy is low.
"The FDA will continue to monitor SARS-CoV-2 genetic viral variants to ensure authorized tests continue to provide accurate results for patients," said FDA Commissioner Stephen M. Hahn, M.D. "While these efforts continue, we are working with authorized test developers and reviewing incoming data to ensure that health care providers and clinical staff can quickly and accurately diagnose patients infected with SARS-CoV-2, including those with....

Q: RFC realization for bias of microwave transistor circuits I saw the following configuration for the bias circuit of some microwave amplifier circuits.
I think in the left figure the RFC is realized using a quarter wavelength short circuited stub (because of the capacitors), but there is no by-pass cap in the right figure. How RFC is realized in this configuration?
Also there is an extra stub at the end of the short circuited stub. What is the purpose of this additional part?

Link to the references: see
page 4 and
page 8
Also there are a few examples in the book "Microwave Transistor Amplifiers: Analysis and Design" by Guillermo Gonzalez, Prentice Hall, 1997, chapter 4.

A: A 1/4 wave stub acts as a short circuit in its own right and any capacitance to ground at the "cold" end is good practice but a bonus.
I'm not familiar with the diagram conventions - but, what are the 'oblong' and square 'blobs' (symbols) at the outboard end of the stubs (by the arrows in each case).?
If the stubs are the "tracks" from power output collector & drain respectively, and if the blobs are capacitors (as they may be) then they serve the short circuiting function and Cb x 3 in the left hand diagram are primarily bias transistor emitter decoupling which also helps with any RF that gets beyond the stub.

Added:
The text associated with the second diagram on page 22 in this document explains the biasing feed arrangement. They say that the "track + square" symbol represents a 1/2 wave stub that is tapped at the 1/4 wave point.
The 1/2 wave stub appears as an open circuit to the amplifier and the 1/4 wave tapping is a zero voltage point where bias is applied. In an ideal system this point has no signal present and no additional decoupling is needed. In real world situations there will (usually) be some sort of additional capacitive decoupling in the bias feed "to keep Murphy honest".

No More Ransom, a global anti-ransomware initiative, announces ESET as new partner
ESET – a global leader in information security software – has been announced as the latest partner of No More Ransom, an international initiative between Europol, the Dutch National Police and major cybersecurity organizations in the fight against ransomware. The collaborative project helps victims of ransomware attacks recover their personal data and has so far managed to decrypt the infected computers of 72,000 victims worldwide.
With its 130 partners, the No More Ransom online portal hosts a collection of 59 free decryption tools from multiple security software vendors, covering 91 ransomware families. Users from around the world can access the tools for free in order to recover data held hostage by ransomware attacks. Launched in 2016, No More Ransom decryption tools have so far kept around USD 22 million out of the pockets of cybercriminals.
ESET has long been helping ransomware victims recover encrypted data, its decryption tools having previously been downloaded over 250,000 times. Now two of these tools will also be available to a wider audience through the free, centralized and user-friendly platform of No More Ransom.
Ransomware has grown to become one of the largest cyberthreats facing businesses and consumers, and the rise of GandCrab and SamSam in 2018 has shown how the threat continues to grow and adapt. One report recently revealed 40% of all successful malware-based attacks involve ransomware.
The No More Ransom project recognizes that the fight against ransomware requires a joint effort, and ESET's involvement represents its ongoing commitment to partner with law enforcement to fight cybercrime and allow everyone to enjoy safer technology.
ESET has previously collaborated with law enforcement agencies in large takedowns of malicious infrastructure, including the disruption of the Gamarue malware family. This global collaboration between the public and private sectors involved Microsoft, the FBI, Interpol and Europol. ESET also worked with various international organizations to uncover Operation Windigo, a widespread cybercriminal operation that seized control of tens of thousands of Unix servers. And most recently, the company partnered with law enforcement bodies and Google in the disruption of 3ve, a major online ad fraud operation.
ESET's latest partnership will continue its commitment to collaborating with law enforcement and industry partners to create a safer digital world. Visit No More Ransom's website for more information about the project, and find out more about ESET at https://www.eset.hk.

Q: avoid blank line when reading names from .txt into python list I'm trying read a list of names from a .txt file into python so I can work with it.
humans = ['Barry', 'Finn', 'John', 'Jacob', '', 'George', 'Ringo', '']

with open(p_to_folder / 'humans.txt', 'w') as f:#using pathlib for my paths
    for h in humans:
        f.write(f'{h}\n')

What I'd like to do is read the .txt file back in so that I can work with names again, but leave out the blanks.
I have tried
with open(p_to_folder / 'humans.txt', 'r') as f:#using pathlib for my paths
    new_humans = [line.rstrip() for line in f.readlines() if line != '']

when I inspect this is list I get
['Barry', 'Finn', 'John', 'Jacob', '', 'George', 'Ringo', '']

I can just run the line
new_humans = [i for i in new_humans if i != '']

and get
['Barry', 'Finn', 'John', 'Jacob', 'George', 'Ringo']

but I'd like to be able to do it in one line, and also to understand why my if statement isn't working in the original list comprehension.
Thank you

A: Try this.
with open(p_to_folder / 'humans.txt', 'r+') as f:#using pathlib for my paths
    new_humans  = [line.rstrip() for line in f.readlines() if line.strip()]

A: You can do sth like this:
with open(p_to_folder / 'humans.txt', 'r') as f:
    new_humans = [line for line in f.read().splitlines() if line]

Or:
with open(p_to_folder / 'humans.txt', 'r') as f:#using pathlib for my paths
    new_humans = [line.strip() for line in f.readlines() if line != '\n']

Output:
['Barry', 'Finn', 'John', 'Jacob', 'George', 'Ringo']

Chevron-shaped gear. The origin of the logo may be traced back to a trip made by the 22-year-old André Citroën to Łódź city, Poland, where he discovered an innovative design for a chevron-shaped gear used in milling. He bought the patent for its application in steel and started his company which initially produced gears.
Which state in the United States has a city that has their McDonald's sign turquoise?
Arizona. The city of Sedona in Arizona mixes the yellow M with rock around it to make it turquoise. Officials in Sedona, Arizona told the fast-food giant they were unable to open a restaurant with the trademark yellow logo. This is due to the city's strict regulations which prevent buildings from ruining the picturesque view of the desert.
Bavarian flag. The origin of the logo is often thought to be a portrayal of the movement of an aircraft propeller with the white blades cutting through a blue sky. However, this portrayal was first used in a BMW advertisement in 1929 - twelve years after the logo was created.
Which company is the logo?
Mitsubishi. The name Mitsubishi consists of two parts: "mitsu" meaning "three" and "hishi" meaning "water caltrop" (also called "water chestnut"), and hence "rhombus", which is reflected in the company's logo. It is also translated as "three diamonds".

What's Cookin'
These items are currently available at Sweet Potatoes Restaurant in Winston Salem, NC.
Soul Food Odyssey
by Stephanie L. Tyson
Soul Food Odyssey is recipes - recipes from the restaurant, recipes from the families of Chef Stephanie Tyson and co-owner Vivian Joiner, recipes that are Southern, plain and simple.
In the introduction to Soul Food Odyssey, Chef Stephanie Tyson describes her early feelings when people assumed her Sweet Potatoes restaurant was a "soul food" establishment. "Soul food to me was like the boxer George Foreman," she says. "He would stand and go toe-to-toe. It wasn't pretty but he got the job done. Southern food, on the other hand, was more like Muhammad Ali—fancier footwork but the same effectiveness. I wanted Ali. I missed the connection that they were both great fighters. Once I got off my high horse, I wanted to know, from a culinary point of view, how do you make what is essentially castaway food into a 'cuisine'?"
In Soul Food Odyssey, Tyson takes readers along on her journey back to find the food her grandmother called "sumntaeat." The recipes she shares include how to cook various parts of the pig from "the router to the tooter"; other meat dishes, including everything from stewed turkey wings and pot roast to a Low Country boil; what Tyson calls "stone soul sides," including crackling cornbread, hoecakes, and, of course, different kinds of greens; soups and stews including oxtail and fish head stew and "Everything in It Vegetable Soup"; and desserts "to sell your soul for."
Along with the recipes come Tyson's comments, which reflect her biting wit as well as her deep appreciation of the food she has come to embrace.
Well, Shut My Mouth!
The Sweet Potatoes Restaurant Cookbook
Well, Shut My Mouth! The Sweet Potatoes Restaurant Cookbook is recipes - recipes from the restaurant, recipes from the families of Chef Stephanie Tyson and co-owner Vivian Joiner, recipes that are Southern, plain and simple.
In creating the recipes for Sweet Potatoes, Tyson used all of her influences - Geechee flavor from Joiner's father, who was from the Hilton Head area of South Carolina; her mother's working-woman "out of the can and into the pan" shortcuts; and her training in culinary arts at Baltimore International College and her later work in South Carolina, the Florida Keys, Arizona, and Maryland.
Just the names of the recipes in this book are enough to whet one's appetite: Pimento Cheese Fondue; Sweet Potato, Corn, and Country Ham Risotto; Gullah Shrimp and Crab Pilau; Slow Cooker Chocolate Stout Pot Roast; Down-Home 'Tata Salad; Molasses Dijon Dressing; Sweet Potato Brad Pudding with Pecan Crunch Topping; and many others. Most recipes include a bit of flavorful commentary from the chef, such as this tip for spicy greens: "If you are faint of heart (burn), eliminate the red pepper altogether."
Well, Shut My Mouth! is also the history of the two women who started a locally and nationally acclaimed restaurant (Our State, Southern Living, New York Times). As Tyson says in her introduction, "Every part of me is a part of Sweet Potatoes." In Well, Shut My Mouth! she shares a culinary experience that has been a favorite of Winston-Salem natives and visitors for years. Now, patrons have the tools to re-create the Sweet Potatoes dining experience in their own homes.
Praise for Well, Shut My Mouth!
"Everything about this book is correct except the title. Anyone with a taste bud in their mouth should follow these recipes and open their mouth."
"The opening of Sweet Potatoes was a milestone event in the city's efforts to revitalize Trade Street. Sweet Potatoes acted as a catalyst for the tremendous success of Winston-Salem's Arts District. In the few short years of its existence, Sweet Potatoes has become an icon for our community and is an attraction known throughout the state."
Allen Joines, mayor of Winston-Salem since 2001
"In the heart of Winston-Salem's Downtown Arts District, Sweet Potatoes restaurant greets its clientele with an atmosphere and cuisine that mirror the lively mix of shops, studios, and galleries surrounding it."
- Janet C. Pittard, Our State magazine
"From the very first moment I met Viviàn and Stephanie and was lifted by the kitchen's aroma, I was in love. Having produced the film Fried Green Tomatoes, and being something of an expert on their preparation throughout the South, I was enthralled with Stephanie's delicious recipe. Her FGT are crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. They have full flavor and are the best I have tasted anywhere outside of Idgie and Ruth's Whistle Stop Café. However, you need to try the Fried Chicken and the Banana Pudding. They are a rustic Cordon Bleu education in themselves—simply amazing. Our family saves them for special occasions."

'Amazing Stories' of Social Entrepreneurs
"I realized there was a need—that young people were seeking advice and guidance on how to launch a career in changemaking—but they weren't finding what they needed," says Lara Galinsky '96."Yet, here I was, sit- ting on some of the most amazing stories and ideas and examples of people forging these paths."
Galinsky, senior vice president of Echoing Green, which provides seed funding and wrap-around support to the world's most promising social entrepreneurs (includ- ing Jess Posner '09 and Kennedy Odede '12 of Shining Hope for Communities), offered a WESeminar workshop on cam- pus in May, based on her book, Work on Purpose (Echoing Green, 2011). Graduating seniors, their parents, and alumni filled the room for a multigenerational exchange and to hear her advice.
In her book, Galinsky traces the path of five young social entrepreneurs, outlining key moments, deci- sions, and questions that led them to become changemak- ers in their generations. Her hope is that the book, like the WESeminar, "will create an opportunity for people to reflect and ask big questions—about career purpose and impact in the world."
Often, says Galinsky, when she meets career seekers, they have a clear idea of what they don't want to do, which they've discovered the hard way: by trying a career and finding that it made them miserable. However, their ideas about what they do want to do are only semi-formed. Often they simply say: "I want to make a differ- ence." Her advice: "I ask people to go all the way back to their childhood and try to identify clues that could reveal a way forward." She writes, "The stories of many changemakers suggest that the convictions and values forged in childhood are a foundation for a career with personal and social meaning."
The next step, says Galinsky, is "synching head and heart." After discovering what is most important to them, what evokes an emotional response, Galinsky asks her career-seekers to closely examine their skills and intellectual abilities.
"Synching head and heart is a choice," she writes. "Many changemakers find that once they decide to let their entire selves be part of their work, they generate opportunities to work with purpose—to create a life that feels simply right."
What happens when both emotional and intellectual commitment are working together, says Galinsky, is what she calls, "hustle," a certain kind of energy. "Hustle is a state of being 'in the zone'—impact driven and heading toward change."
While she warns that this doesn't mean you will never experience bad days or set- backs, she notes that this "head + heart = hustle" formula provides a high level of determination and energy that helps propel the changemakers past obstacles.
She calls her formula "a framework you can use throughout your life to create a career with impact" and notes that it has no age limit.
"The more reflective you are, and the more you pay attention to your feelings and thoughts, the bigger the payoff," she says. She encourages career-seekers to have conversations beyond their immedi- ate circle: "engaging a larger brain trust," she calls it, and was thrilled to see these discussions open between participants after her presentation at Wesleyan.
"Choose to be bold and to create a meaningful life, because this path will make you happy, and because you can have an impact," she says. "The world needs you." CONNECT WITH WESLEYAN

The Wire Mesh Peanut Feeder is one of our most popular feeders. Hang it on a window with our suction cup Window Hanger and watch the show!
The Wire Mesh Peanut Feeder holds 2 cups of shelled peanuts, our Number 2 sunflower or black oil sunflower seeds. Birds cling on the mesh and pull out a seed to eat.
We love hanging this on our kitchen window so we can see how the Red-bellied Woodpecker got its name!
This makes a great family gift.
Use one of our Window Glass Hangers (with suction cups) to hang it in front of a favorite window.


These celtic cross drawings are of a particular cross. There are many more crosses with great variations in patterning and wear and tear. This one has many symbols on it and a cruciform image that I find appealing to draw. I was attempting to use light and shade plus texture to capture the crosses fascinating surface.
I'm fortunate to live near several celtic crosses and have sketched quite a few in my time. I'll probably add some more samples if I get enough interest from visitors. There's a great example of one in Eyam, Derbyshire I first saw on a school trip. I've been back there with my kids many times and if you're ever in the area I'd advise you to have a look around the village, with it's museum and Hall. Eyam is the famous plague village, a story that still inspires me to this day.
Enough history chatter. I'll get on with the drawing lesson.
If you are going to copy this cross drawing use a soft pencil.
1. I start with an outline of the rugged cross. I love how worn and aged this cross looks.
2. A circle for the figure and I sketch the cross.
3. I begin to define the crumbling edges of the cross.
4. Same with the circular image.
5. I sketch more features.
6. I continue trying to bring out the nooks and crannies on the stonework. The thing to remember here is that dark goes back and light comes forward.
7. More work on the circular part with the vague human shape within it.
8. I carry on adding tone with flecks and utilizing the sides of the pencil. It is beginning to look right to my eye.
9. I work down the cross.
I'm fairly pleased with the result. The surface looks weatherworn and I'm happy with the celtic patterns.
If you wnat to see other drawings of crosses take a look at this site.
which goes into the history of the cross as well as some nice drawing lessons.

June 18, 2020 8:27PM EDT
Season 2 of The Hills hasn't fully started filming yet, but Jason Wahler, 33 is confident the reboot's sophomore season will be better than the first, as OG Kristin Cavallari, 33, is set to return. "I'll tell you this much — It was great because we went in full, full steam ahead [before the coronavirus]," Jason told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY about filming Season 2 of The Hills, while also discussing his work with recording artist Hilary Roberts for the The Red Song Bird Foundation. " I think this season personally is going to be 1000 times better than last season. It's just like everybody's gotten comfortable with one another or the people that you know don't like each other made it very known and vice versa."

Another reason fans are on the edge of their seats for the MTV show to be on TV again, post coronavirus, is because of the return of Kristin. Though Jason is keeping mum on what her role will be, he's excited to have her back. "I haven't talked to her in probably a couple years. She has not started filming yet," he explained.
As restrictions in LA begin to lift, Jason is excited to get back to work and produce some drama-filled TV, but he realizes it may be a little different seeing and filming with his cast as the pandemic continues. "We're supposed to be back on in July," Jason said. "I'm excited to reconnect and see where he's at in life but it's definitely going to add a little bit of flames to the to the group for sure. If I was put it out there, they're just going to catch up with each individual family and couple. Obviously we're able to meet together and talk about that. I think we're going to be able to catch everybody up on what it is that we've been doing, how it's impacted us, what's going on and how we're moving forward is going to be my guess. But as far as us getting together as groups and things like that, it's gonna be interesting. I have no idea."
Jason was bummed to have to social distance from his cast for this long, but he's still been keeping really busy! Jason, a recovering alcoholic, has teamed up with recording artist and pal Hilary are helping others who have been in their shoes during this pandemic. "Jason and I came up with this this amazing way to help so we could get people grief counseling and the foundation itself put up 25,000," Hilary, who's latest single "Good Man", is currently at on the Billboard Dance Club Chart, said. "We have been matching donations. Any of amounts of money from $5 to $100 to hit that goal. And it's just been beautiful."

Football, Studies and Values
His family was looking for sporting, academic and humane training. Today, Mario García studies a Marketing degree whilst playing for Girona.
2017 has been a historical year for Girona FC. As it has for Mario García Saiz. At the same time, the Catalan club won itself a promotion to the premier division for the first time in its history, the Cantabrian Defender launched himself into Spain's footballing elite, signing to that very team. Two fruitful trajectories intertwined by destiny.
Mario's story begins in Santander, his native city. Racing, a renowned Cantabrian club, were quick to notice him. "I first started playing there in the under-11s team and made it to under-15s", recalls Girona's defender. That said, many years dressed in the same colours led to a real risk of stagnation.
"Mario was in a very good team, however, a footballer shouldn't only be aware of his surroundings but, more importantly, aware of his aspirations and where he wants to be", explains Carlos Rivero, Technical Director of the Marcet High Performance Academy: "In Santander, much like in other cities that size, it can be difficult to progress because a player is not necessarily ever made to leave his comfort zone. To improve, new goals are fundamental and one eventually gets to a point where change is imperative."
This change is somewhat owed to his family. "He was always very shy and we believed he'd benefit from opening up a little and getting to know other realities", his mother, Marisa Saiz, remembers. "I started to look for summer camps outside Cantabria and came across Marcet. I just loved what I saw".
So Mario made his way to Barcelona and took part in the Talent Cup. Fifteen days were enough for the technicians at Marcet to take notice and propose he stay at the High Performance Academy all year round. "Understanding his situation, I knew right away that it would be a process Mario would benefit from", Rivero adds, proud to see his foresight and previsions come true with Girona's signing.
Before making it to the Catalan team, the Cantabrian defender was presented with two other opportunities and put in the crosshairs of top division clubs. In autumn 2016, on tour in Madrid, he competed with the likes of Atlético de Madrid, Getafe CF and Rayo Vallecano. At the same time, he also went to tryouts at Real Betis Balompié alongside three other teammates:
Mario's progression in football was clear of any doubt. Nevertheless, his parents weren't exclusively on the lookout for athletic growth. They were eager to find a training that could check as both academic and humane. "Our main interest lied in him being able to follow through with his studies and that he be provided with the possibility of coexisting with other cultures and languages", Antonio García points out. "We believed in this project from the very beginning and everything has come through 100%. That said, it was tough at the start".
Mario's father points out the inevitable process of adaptation the scholars at Marcet go through. It's never easy living in a new city, leaving behind family members and lifelong friends. Specifically, in Mario's case, there were a couple of aspects that could have made his stay at Barcelona more complicated. In one hand, having to let go of and leave a prestigious club like el Real Racing Club de Santander and, on the other hand, having to adapt to a new position on the pitch.
"Mario arrived as a winger and, the truth is at that time he was giving us more in that position than he would had he been defending", Rivero clarifies: "But at Marcet we're not too concerned with immediate results so we believed he'd do better for himself in the long run if he played further back. At first, he had trouble getting used to his new position, but his innate condition was easily molded to suit modern football's take on the defending position. It was a change made with his future in mind".
Apparently, a decision well made and it wasn't long before Mario could prove his worth in amongst the players at Girona, to some extent verified by his goal against FC Barcelona on his debut match with the red and white shirt on:
Today, Mario is still playing in División de Honor, where he competes with teams like RCD Espanyol, RCD Mallorca, and Barça. He's "very happy" with his life in Girona (city), where he currently studies a Marketing Degree. Football, studies, and values are over and above being the axis of his day to day. Precisely what both him and his family were looking for.

Sudarshana Peiris

She was placed 12th in the competition clocking a time of 33:55.06 to better the previous record of 33:57.96 which was held by Sujeewa Nilmini Jayasena by over 2 minutes. The previous record was established in 2003 at Sugathadasa and had been one of the long-standing women's long-distance records.
Hiruni adds the 10000m national record to her long list of national records which include the National Marathon, Half Marathon, 30km, 25km, 15km, 10km,5km records.
The long-distance runner who specializes in the marathon has been making waves in the past couple of years with and has represented Sri Lanka at international competitions. Hiruni won the Eugene marathon in Oregon last year achieving qualification for the 2017 IAAF World Championship despite not being able to finish due to intense leg cramps that warranted her to give up half way.

Largest Celtic Coin Hoard Finally Separated
By S&C ETC., March 8, 2017
After nearly three years of intensive conservation efforts, the largest Celtic hoard discovered to date has been separated.
Conservation team lead Neil Mahrer said, "This is a significant milestone for the team. It has been painstaking but thoroughly intriguing work, which has delivered some very unexpected and amazing finds along the way. There is still plenty to do and I am sure the Hoard will continue to surprise us as we clean and record the material."
Amateur metal detectorists Reg Mead and Richard Miles found the hoard in 2012, but it was not a surprise find. 30 years ago, a local woman mentioned that her father had found some Celtic silver in the field in Jersey, and the pair believed there was more to be found. According to Reg Mead, "She told me that in the bottom was an earthenware pot and it shattered all over the field on a very muddy winter's day and there were silver coins everywhere. They filled a small potato sack up and the rest of the stuff they just ploughed into the ground. When she described them we knew they were Iron Age. I told Richard and we have been searching hard all that time." However, the farmer who owned the field only let them detect in it once a year, for about 10-15 hours, after his harvest was finished.
Thirty years of patience paid off when the two found several coins, and upon digging deeper, came across a chunk of earth with several coins embedded in it. Rather than excavating it themselves, the two wanted to make sure the archaeological context remained intact, and called in the experts.
Named Catillon II, the hoard contained over 68,000 coins, far more than any other Celtic find to date. The collection also contains gold torcs, leather goods, glass beads, and many other non-numismatic items. Historians believe it was buried around 30-50 BCE, during the rule of Julius Caesar. It was probably buried by French Celts fleeing Roman invasion. The government of Jersey must now decide whether they will pay to keep the hoard on the island, or allow it to be sold. It is valued at around 10 million pounds.

Inter's Mauro Icardi and Ivan Perisic lined up together in a training match for the first time since Icardi was stripped of the armband.
Icardi was stripped of the captaincy after his wife and agent Wanda Icardi made public comments criticising his teammates In the TV show Tika Taka and has not featured for the Nerrazurri since.
The pair trained together today training at the Pinetina, the Croatian and the former captain took to the field in the same team, and the number 9 also scored. Marcelo Brozovic participated in an individual workout instead due to recent muscle fatigue.
The training took place on a reduced pitch, in preparation for Sunday night match against Lazio at San Siro, which is fundamental in the race for the Champions League. Icardi could take the field, but he is in a run-off with his compatriot Lautaro Martinez, who will only return from Argentina tomorrow.


By now, everyone is aware of the court's decision in National Federal of Independent Business v. Sibelius, otherwise known as the Affordable Care Act constitutional challenge. I'm no legal scholar—the best reaction and commentary can be found at the SCOTUSBlog and The Volokh Conspiracy, in my opinion—but I did get a chance to read the Constitutional portions of the case's opinion, which I ultimately found to be persuasive (at least to the extent that the Court had no choice but to uphold the mandate as a constitutionally-exercised power under the Taxing Clause).
I have to share a small anecdote, to give some due credit: During the beginning of the suit, I spoke with my former Constitutional Law professor, Eric Berger (who was quoted in a recent story about the outcome). Professor Berger, I must say, called this from the beginning. Of course it's constitutional, he said to me, it's a tax, and Congress can tax nearly without limits under the Constitution. In essence, the Commerce Clause argument, which was the crux of the states' case on this issue (and which it should be noted Roberts and four other justices adopted, wholesale), did not end up matter. Ultimately, what is most impressive about Roberts' opinion—besides his easy and readable style—is that it is obvious his politics push him the other direction. Finally, a justice who seems to be finding a case that does not conveniently comport with his/her politics. (Yes, there are many decisions they make as such, but usually not on this scale.) Personally, I probably lean toward the argument that the ACA was still Constitutional under the Commerce Clause, but I can understand why the Court might have found otherwise.


Nineteen-year-old Madison Parker made a name for herself as best frenemy of nice-girl-next-door Jane Roberts on the hot reality show "L.A. Candy." Now Madison is ready for her turn in the spotlight, and she'll stop at nothing to get it. Sure, she's the star of a new show, but with backstabbing friends and suspicious family members trying to bring her down, Madison has her work cut out for her. Plus, there's a new nice girl in "reality" town --- aspiring actress Carmen Price, the daughter of Hollywood royalty --- and she's a lot more experienced at playing the fame game. When the camera's start rolling, whose star will shine brighter?

When to start a college search
Sep 10, 2018 / By : Bryan Drotar / Category : Contact, NAIA, NCAA, NJCAA, Recruiting Process
Have you wondered when your child should start looking at colleges? Is second grade too early? Twelfth grade too late?
We dropped our second son off at college a couple weeks ago. Late at night while I was driving home, my wife was sitting beside me soothing the hurting places with coffee and candy.
Then, from the backseat, our tenth grader says, "Well, it's time for me to start looking at colleges."
My wife: "Do we have to do this already? It's been one hour since we did the last one."
My tenth grader: "I'm already getting emails from colleges."
I started into my speech: "It's time to start looking. Next year…"
My wife: "Could we at least wait until tomorrow? Give me one night to mourn."
I gave her a night to mourn. But here's the truth: tenth grade is not too early to begin a serious college search.
One of the most frequent questions I receive from parents is "When do we begin the recruiting process?"
I could honestly tell you, "There is no set time. Each school has different needs and timelines. It is never too late because the recruiting landscape is in constant flux for coaches."
However that answer does not help you take action.
I believe we can get much closer to a helpful answer. I have asked 22 college coaches about their timeline for recruitment and patterns have emerged that will give you guidance as your family takes on the recruiting process.
Major D1 schools: When to start a college search
First, let's start with major D1 programs. These are schools in the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and PAC 12. Depending upon the school and sport there are other top tier athletic universities that fall into this category. They have the pick of the available star athletes and generally wrap up their recruiting classes the earliest.
Here is one of the craziest stories I have heard, but if you listen you will hear this kind of craziness in the news every once in a while.
"It is never too early to get noticed by college coaches. The earliest I saw a player and made an offer was when she was 9 years old. This player did play for me and was an All-American. Most players get noticed by their freshman or sophomore year of HS."
Joan Bonvicini, Former Women's Basketball Coach of Seattle University
It is typical for major athletic programs to be developing their recruiting list as far out as the freshmen year of high school. From the recruiting list, coaches make verbal offers and then formally sign those athletes when they are seniors on signing day and into the spring.
"I have a list of fifty sophomores right now and a list of about eight freshmen. We don't actively seek them, instead we watch U16 games and find kids we like. It does start early but we just had a senior who was a basketball player slip thru the cracks and commit last week.
The better the school, the tighter the admissions office and most likely to be done with a class by the Holidays. However, most schools take players into the middle of spring and some even in summer (Internationals especially). Seeing someone become proactive or all the sudden serious about schoolwork as a senior always irks me."
Andy Fleming, Men's Soccer Coach of Xavier University
When should you tell coaches you are interested in a DI school?
The freshman and sophomore year!
"The timing is going to be dependent on the school. I would say typically, get on the radar during the summer between freshman and sophomore year. The bulk of the recruiting is going to happen during the club season of the sophomore year and the junior year. However, some programs start earlier and some programs look late. I don't think there's ever a time that is too late. We added four players to our recruiting class in 2015 during the spring of their senior year. That is unusual but it does happen."
Arlisa Williams, Volleyball Coach of Georgetown University
"Athletes typically will get noticed their freshman/sophomore year. More than likely as time goes on less and less schools will have open roster space. However, you never know and things change all the time with recruiting."
Jon Newman Gonchar, Assistant Volleyball Coach of Iowa State University
"We are always looking for good players but unfortunately we have only 12 scholarships and usually we have kids committed early, at the latest in the early stages of their junior year. I recommend they send out emails as soon as their freshman year to all the schools they might be interested in and start getting to know those programs and coaches."
Sanja Tomasevic, Assistant Volleyball Coach and Recruiting Coordinator of the University of Miami
What should you do if you didn't start when you were a freshmen but still believe you could compete at this level?
Start contacting coaches today!
"The process is different for everyone and every school so it is hard to give a written blueprint of how each athlete should go about the recruiting process. Prospects need to start being proactive and reaching out to schools during their sophomore year to be considered "on time". A lot of commitments come as juniors so the earlier you start the better. That being said, it is never too late. The process is different for everyone so if you are older and haven't started the recruiting process it doesn't mean you shouldn't."
Ben Stoddard, Men's Associate Head Coach of Oregon State University
If you are a junior and have not contacted major D1 coaches and they have not "seen" you and recruited you:
Few roster spots are available
Even fewer athletic scholarships are left, even though signing day is still a year off
Yes, pursue these programs if you want, but you also need to be contacting other schools, where more roster spots and athletic scholarships are still available.
Only the most elite high school athletes end up with these opportunities. Making college decisions before you can drive is pretty crazy. Fortunately the recruiting experience is not like that for the majority of student athletes. Most enjoy being a high school student and learn to drive before they have to make this kind of major decision.

The Other D1 schools: When to start a college search
There are 347 D1 schools and 300 D2 schools. On the recruiting timeline, it is the remainder of the D1 schools and the top half of the D2 schools who are filling up rosters next. Though the recruiting timelines are similar, we are going to look at the remainder of D1 schools and D2 schools separately.
D1 coaches are saying…
"The most important time for a basketball player to be a D1 recruit is the spring and summer after his junior year. Certainly it helps to get noticed as a junior if you want to be a D1 player, and the higher level D1 schools tend to be interested in kids at a younger age. But most kids who are D1 players are on that radar by the end of their junior year.
There is no harm in any players looking at D2/D3/NAIA schools. If you aren't getting a lot of interest from D1 schools heading into the summer before your senior year, you should definitely look into D2/D3. There are absolutely great options to play at that level. Finding the right fit is much more important than finding the highest level."
Bob Walsh, Men's Basketball Coach of the University of Maine
One coach who differed in his opinions of the recruiting timeline was Paul Weir of New Mexico State. He felt that it is becoming more acceptable to wait longer to commit to a school. With the new rule changes he may be right. Time will tell. To read more about the recruiting rules changes read this very helpful article from the NCSA: NCAA Eligibility Center Recruiting Rules
"It is never too late. Some programs choose to evaluate and demonstrate interest in PSA's early, some will do it later on in the process. The bottom line is that each program is going to do what they feel is in the best interests of their organization at that given time. If they feel the PSA can have a meaningful impact they will pursue that individual when they feel most inclined to do so.
Given the changing nature of our profession and the incredible amount of turnover both in coaches and transfers, recruiting is a much more short-term enterprise and happening on a later time frame than even just a few years ago. Feeling that you have to sign or be committed in the fall of your senior year of HS or sophomore year of JC is becoming less and less frequent."
Paul Weir, Men's Associate Head Basketball Coach of New Mexico State University
Other coaches also say it is never too late, but they emphasize that most commitments take place during the junior year. As a result most of the athletic scholarships have been designated during the junior year. If you are a senior and have enough talent to play D1, you may find a roster spot, but chances are the athletic scholarships you were hoping for are not available.
"I don't think it's ever too late. The landscape changes quite often and squad positions open up as late as the summer before the season. I think the biggest time however is the junior year. That is typically when most people commit and programs commit most of their scholarship budget."
Gary Curneen, Women's Soccer Coach of Cal State Bakersfield University
"Legally per NCAA rules we cannot initiate contact with a prospective student athlete (PSA) until [September 1] entering their junior year of high school. After that, our sport allows unlimited communication to PSA's. Texts, emails, phone calls, or private messages on social media are all permissible. These PSA's can contact us any time; we just cannot be the ones that initiate the call."
Russ Willemsen, Associate Head Men's Basketball Coach of the University of South Alabama
"It is never too late to be noticed to play at a major or mid major Division 1 school. However the opportunities for scholarships will be greatly diminished as time goes by. At the University of New Mexico, we are done with our [incoming] class scholarships and have commitments for [the junior class] as well. (to give you an example) we do still have some money open, but we also have offers out. In the current state of recruiting young people need to be getting information out as sophomores to have the best opportunities to be seen and land what they are looking for."
Jeff Nelson, Volleyball Coach of the University of New Mexico
D2 schools: When to start a college search
D2 coaches have similar recruiting rules and recruiting rules as their D1 colleagues. Coach Parlow sums up how coaches begin contacting athletes to comply with NCAA rules. Notice, the list of athletes the coaches contact are athletes who have contacted the coach first!
"As a D2 institution we are not allowed to contact Prospective Student Athletes (PSA) [until September 1] preceding their junior year in high school.
When that date arrives we will have a list of players who have contacted us and/or that we have seen play. We will send them an email expressing our interest in them as a student athlete. In that email we will send links where they can learn about our soccer program and everything Converse College has to offer. Those that show interest we will continue to communicate with and invite in for a campus visit."
Rick Parlow, Women's Soccer Coach of Converse College
"The typical timeline for recruiting a players starts their sophomore year and junior years of high school. Normally, a lot of emails come in from sophomores, and they get on our radar, but we cannot communicate with them until [September 1] leading into their junior year of high school. As soon as that date hits, we will be in touch via email, phone calls and sometimes text messages. We sometimes have players commit as late as April of their senior year. It's definitely a good idea to start the recruiting process early but it's also not too late if you're in your senior year and still undecided."
Samantha Snow Women's Soccer Coach of Georgia Southwestern
"Every program is different but we typically start talking to players during the spring of their junior year. We usually communicate via email and progress to the phone and text as we get more serious about a recruit. If a recruit does not check their email odds are they will miss an opportunity with us."
Molly Grisham, Former Women's Soccer Coach of the University of Illinois Springfield
"So at the D2 level we are typically closing out our next incoming class at the end of the fall season. For example, between November – March we are closing out the incoming class for the fall. We are simultaneously narrowing down our top needs for the class of juniors. I feel like Division 1 is a year ahead of this."
Andrew Wagstaff, Men's Soccer Coach of Saginaw Valley State University
"Recruiting is a non-stop process; we often have to be looking ahead. There is never a set timeline as we deal with players on a case by case basis. Some of them are prepared and have taken the tests, applied to the NCAA clearinghouse and have their transcripts ready. More often than not players, especially the international players, are not aware of all the paperwork involved to become eligible to play college tennis, and the process might be longer in these cases. We often find ourselves talking to players in their Senior Year, although some of them are more proactive and start the process their Junior Year. We send out information as soon as possible to the PSA in order to get them accepted as quickly as possible."
Maria Lopez, Assistant Tennis Coach of Barry University
"Every recruit has a different timeline depending on position, skill level, etc. Typically, we have been able to watch you play and track your progress over several years (ideally sophomore summer into your junior summer and then continued into senior year).
The majority of our recruits will be signed during the early period which is November 11th of their senior year. However, most of those same recruits will verbally commit as much as a year to a year and half earlier than actually signing. With that being said, since this is my staff's first season at Urbana we are recruiting multiple positions over multiple classes that are subsequently atypical to what was described above."
Timothy Balice, Volleyball Coach of Urbana University
D3, NAIA, and Junior Colleges: When to start a college search
D3, NAIA, and Junior Colleges are typically the last to fill their classes, though this is not universally true. There are individual schools at each of these levels that are at the top of their division. Often these coaches are great recruiters and have wrapped up strong recruiting classes before their peers of the same division.
Here are coaches from D3, NAIA, and a junior college who talk about the typical timeline at these levels. Recruiting at these levels often takes place beginning the junior year, but it is typical to heavily recruit seniors as well.
"Typically we like to identify the traditional recruit during their junior season and actively recruit them during the summer and throughout their senior season."
Chris Starks, Assistant Men's Basketball Coach of Lindsey Wilson College
"It would start sometime during junior year and usually after the state championship in October. If I'm interested in a player, I'd send a letter describing who I am a little history about the program and the college and what the cost would be and what our scholarship entails. Then I'll call the recruit."
Ed Bethea, Women's Golf Coach of Dodge City Community College
"Typically we send out our first round of communications towards the end of a prospect's junior year, and by the start of his/her senior year the recruiting process is in full swing. Some student-athletes make up their mind very early in their senior year, and we still have some recruits who are on the fence. The timeline varies for everyone."
Abby Sorensen, Assistant Men's and Women's Golf Coach of Allegheny College
Coaching changes, player injuries, signed recruits deciding not to attend, and other things that can affect recruiting at individual schools.
Though many coaches gave typical times they receive commitments and fill their recruiting classes, there is a general consensus that it is never too late. Individual schools have needs that come up even in for their incoming group of freshmen (aka high school seniors). Don't be discouraged if you are starting late. There will be fewer opportunities available and many of the scholarships will be gone. But if you are diligent and work hard at doing your research and contacting coaches, you may still find opportunities.
If you are a senior and need to start your college search:
Do it today!
Call all of the schools you are most interested in first.
Do your research and look for coaching changes. New coaches are often have to put together a recruiting class quickly. The previous coach might not have done much recruiting. Recruits who had signed may back out when the coach who recruited them leaves.
Set your sights on divisions other than D1. Some D2, NAIA, D3, and Junior Colleges will still be trying to round out their rosters late into the spring. A few will still be searching for players in the summer after seniors have already graduated.
If you are freshmen, sophomore, or junior you have plenty of opportunities in front of you.
They won't magically fall in your lap. Find some schools you are interested in and develop relationships with the coaches today.

Student Series! Egyptian Goddesses
Jessica October 2, 2017 August 25, 2020
The goddesses of Ancient Egypt weren't just there to complement the gods of Egypt – they held their own significance and could equal if not surpass the importance and power of the gods. While women were subordinate to men in Egyptian society, the goddesses were symbols of the power to be found in women and their importance in society.
The gods existed to help the Egyptians understand the world and their place in it. They represented different aspects of nature to serve as an explanation to the Egyptians as to why things were the way they were.
Isis was the "symbolic mother of kings" and the "protector of children and nursing mothers" (The Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, pgs. 120, 123), making her a prevalent goddess in relation to all the pharaohs and mothers. She was also a staple figure in the Book of the Dead and generally appeared behind Osiris and beside her sister, Nephthys.
Nephthys
Nephthys was the sister of Isis, Osiris, and the sister/wife of Set. Her symbols are the hawk, temple, and the sycamore tree and she was associated with the setting sun, twilight, and darkness. Prayers were offered to Nephthys to aid in her in the fight against the serpent Apophis as she and Set defended the Barque of Ra. She was believed to be Isis' counterpart as the darkness to contrast her light, which explains why they're always depicted as identical twins.

Bastet was a goddess with the body of a woman and the head of a cat. She is obviously heavily influenced by cats, and her duty to the Egyptians was to "protect the home from evil spirits and disease" (Mark) similar to how a cat keeps diseases out of the house by getting rid of vermin. Her significance grew with the domestication of the house cat.
Hathor, who was the goddess of love, was "variously represented as a cow, a woman with the ears of a cow, or a woman wear a headdress of a wig" (The Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, pg. 130). Like Isis, she was considered to be the divine mother of the pharaohs. Besides love, she was the goddess of "joy, sexuality, music, and dance" but also "had a destructive role" (The Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, pg. 130). In her destructive role, she was often portrayed in a similar way to Sekhmet, the goddess of destruction.
Sekhmet was a lioness goddess and the "fire-breathing 'eye of Ra'" (The Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt, pg. 134) whose job was to destroy her father enemies. To quell her rage and avoid natural disasters that were believed to be caused by Sekhmet, Egyptians offered her beer at the temples.
Tawaret
Tawaret was a household deity which took the form of a hippopotamus and was associated with the protection of women during childbirth.
Renenutet
Renenutet, despite her fierce appearance, was a protector of the king and a fertility goddess, whose responsibilities were securing and protecting the harvest.
Seshat
Seshsat was the goddess of writing and measurement, whose job was to record the spoils of war, but later on became more associated with the royal jubilee.

▶ In the year King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a high and lofty throne, with the train of his garment filling the temple.
▶ Seraphim were stationed above; each of them had six wings: with two they veiled their faces, with two they veiled their feet, and with two they hovered aloft.
▶ "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts!" they cried one to the other. "All the earth is filled with his glory!"
▶ At the sound of that cry, the frame of the door shook and the house was filled with smoke.
▶ Then I said, "Woe is me, I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!"
▶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, holding an ember which he had taken with tongs from the altar.
▶ He touched my mouth with it. "See," he said, "now that this has touched your lips, your wickedness is removed, your sin purged."
▶ Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" "Here I am," I said; "send me!"
▶ And he replied: Go and say to this people: Listen carefully, but you shall not understand! Look intently, but you shall know nothing!
▶ You are to make the heart of this people sluggish, to dull their ears and close their eyes; Else their eyes will see, their ears hear, their heart understand, and they will turn and be healed.
▶ "How long, O Lord?" I asked. And he replied: Until the cities are desolate, without inhabitants, Houses, without a man, and the earth is a desolate waste.
▶ Until the LORD removes men far away, and the land is abandoned more and more.


Mark Siddall is an Invertebrate Zoologist, a scientist who studies animals without backbones. He's also the curator of an exhibition at the Museum called "The Power of Poison." In this video interview, find out more about Mark and why he thinks poison is so fascinating.
MARK SIDDALL: A poison is a substance that interferes with a normal physiological activity. For example, the ability of your nerves to make your muscles contract.
MARK SIDDALL: I think it'd be really cool to study the poisons that are in bright red mushrooms because I know they're toxic to us, but I often see slugs eating these mushrooms. And there's gotta be a reason that doesn't harm the slugs.
MARK SIDDALL: I really like the story of Hercules and the Hydra. This was his second test and you had to slay the Hydra by cutting off all of its different heads, and then dipped his arrows into the blood of the Hydra. And those arrows he used later to protect himself. This really captures the idea of the power of poison and our ability to use it as people.
MARK SIDDALL: Poisons can be used for good, if we just learned how to do it. The poisons, for example, that some plants use to prevent insects from feeding on them, we actually use as pain relievers, like aspirin.
MARK SIDDALL: The thing I like best about being a scientist, especially one here at the American Museum of Natural History, is that every single day is different. I'm limited only by my own imagination as to the questions that I can ask and the answers I can find.
MARK SIDDALL: One of my favorite things about this museum is, as you're walking through the halls and down the stairs, if you look carefully, you can find tiny little shells and other invertebrate fossils right in the marble walls.
MARK SIDDALL: From the age of about five years old until I was 18, I knew exactly what I want to be-- a medical doctor. I'm glad I was wrong.
MARK SIDDALL: If I weren't a scientist, I'm not sure exactly what I would be or what I would be doing. But it would have to be very creative, and it would have to be very different every day, maybe painting or sculpting.
MARK SIDDALL: My advice to anyone who wants to become a successful scientist is to remember, no science exists until it's written down. You have to be a good writer to be a good scientist.
MARK SIDDALL: Tiger tail. Think of a creamsicle with black licorice ice cream swirled into it. It's awesome.
