INDIANAPOLIS -- Will Power is praying for rain. Or a wreck. Maybe two. Anything that might shake up the field a little bit and give him and his Penske teammates a prayer of making up some ground on the all Chip Ganassi Racing front row of Felix Rosenqvist and Scott Dixon.
Because without a little assistance from Mother Nature or Lady Luck, Power knows that, after qualifying sixth Friday, he has little hope of chasing down the leaders and winning Saturday's IndyCar Grand Prix. In fact, Power knows that better than most.

He's been untouchable when starting from the pole on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. He's done so three times and rattled off victories each time (2015, 2017-18). His teammate Simon Pagenaud went pole to checkered in 2016, making it four straight pole-sitters to win the grand prix entering Saturday.
When you consider that the last two race winners in the NTT IndyCar Series were Alexander Rossi (Long Beach) and Takuma Sato (Barber), and each won from the top spot, there's no doubt, Power said, Rosenqvist picked a most opportune time to secure the first pole position of his career.

"If it's a full green race, Felix has a great chance of winning the race," Power said. "These days, if you start up front, and it's an all green race, you're in a great spot."
Driving in clean air brings a massive advantage over the competition. With no one in front of him, Rossi was able to expand his lead to more than 20 seconds at Long Beach, Dixon explained after that race.
The current era of Indy cars remain a handful when driving in dirty air. Furthermore, Power said, the number of cautions have declined in recent years. No one is making mistakes anymore. Everyone has pace and everyone knows each other's strategies. Every pit team is at least solid, making it tough to gain ground there.
There's just not a lot of margin for error to exploit anymore. That's why Power is hoping for something strange to happen Saturday afternoon at IMS.
"It's tough if you qualify back a little bit, it's so hard to gain positions," he said. "That's why, from my perspective, I hope something weird plays out (Saturday). For me. Just for me (laughs). No one else."
Power isn't the only one hoping the field gets flipped a few times Saturday. Many of the series' traditional powers struggled mightily on Friday and are going to need a little luck to climb back up the field. Power's teammate and two-time GP winner Simon Pagenaud qualified eighth while championship leader Josef Newgarden will start 13th. Helio Castroneves, who has rejoined the Penske crew for this race and the Indianapolis 500, will start 15th.

Meanwhile, none of the Andretti Autosport four advanced out of the round of qualifying. Championship contenders Ryan Hunter-Reay and Alexander Rossi will start 16th and 17th while their teammates Zach Veach and Marco Andretti are even further back at 20th and 23rd.
The Andretti Autosport struggles took many by surprising considering that most of the Honda teams fared well following the manufacturer test on the IMS road course last week. The Honda-powered No. 60 car of Jack Harvey and Meyer Shank Racing qualified third while Andretti's sister program, Harding Steinbrenner Racing -- which uses Andretti Autosports technology -- put its car on the second row with Colton Herta qualifying fourth.
HSR Vice President of Operations Vince Kremer said he doesn't know what happened to the Andretti cars. As far as he knows, their setups were similar. Perhaps it's as simple as chemistry he said.
"Nathan O'Rourke (Herta's engineer) and Colton are really synced right now," Kremer said. "I mean they're locked in. Colton can relay to Nathan exactly what he needs for the car to go fast. He gets it. Youth is served."
Obviously, Rosenqvist and the rest of the front of the pack are hoping for clear skies and clean racing. That's the straightest path to his first career victory and what he hopes will be a CGR 1-2 finish.
However, if chaos ensues on Lap 1 Turn 1 -- as has been prominent in this race's history -- there's no better place to be than in front of it all, leading the pack.
"When there's nothing in front of you, you have nothing to worry about," Rosenqvist said. "That's a huge benefit. I've seen videos from this corner. There's some history there. But having Scott next to me, whomever comes out of that turn first, I'm confident there's not going to be big contract. Honestly, I feel as good as I could going into (Saturday)."

Scandal recap | "Molly, You In Danger Girl" – Holy Mole-y!
Richard Simms
If you haven't seen this week's SCANDAL, you might wanna stop reading right now. Otherwise, you'll find out how Liv wound up in the hospital, Huck wound up in a box and Fitz wound up married to Mellie!
Unhappily Ever After: Cyrus has the nearly impossible job of preparing Fitz and The First Bitch for their first interview since his shooting and the baby's birth. "This is Macbeth," Cyrus says of their marriage. "They want the fairy tale!" Unfortunately, things aren't any better for him on the home front given that hubby James is giving him not only the cold shoulder but the cold whole damn body. Fitz's advice? "If you love him, don't give up."
Murder, He Wrote: While Fitz & Company are high-fiving the fact that the mole is dead, the widow Osborne tells the Gladiators that her hubby clearly was murdered. Her proof? How he addressed the letter he left behind. "In 30 years of marriage, he never called me Susan!" declares Susie, Hon, Babycakes… but never Susan. Word spreads and oddly, almost nobody is happy to learn that Osborne wasn't the mole, least of all Cyrus, given that the president's been telling anyone who'll listen that the mole is really, most sincerely dead.
I Spy: Jake may be hot as hell in his uniform, but he's proving tobe one cool customer. He's so good at spying on our gal Liv that he actually breaks into her apartment and has all his cameras removed before Huck and Quinn (or Lindsay… let's just call her Quinsay) come in for their biweekly sweep of the place. And then? That's right, he breaks in again to reinstall everything!He also takes another meeting with the Mystery Man to fill him in on the fact that Olivia knows Osborne wasn't the mole. MM's response? "I trust you'll take care of this!"
Huck In A Box: Realizing that Molly is the key to figuring out what the heck's going on, the Gladiators begin searching for her. It's obvious that Quinsay has been spending way too much time with Huck when she talks about the proper and improper ways to dispose of a body. Huck finds a storage unit"Albatross" has been renting in which he finds a big, empty box… which doesn't stay empty for long after someone clubs him from behind and shoves him into it! Quinsay manages to find her mentor, but he's pretty badly beaten. Who did it? Huck's fellow former assassin, Charlie!
Fake It 'Til You Make It: Jake makes a major whoopsie by saying he knows Liv never uses her kitchen, then covers the slip by calling it a hunch. Speaking of covering, Fitz and Mellie mask their animosity and actually do such a convincing job of playing lovebirds during their big television interview that Liv, watching at home, chugs from her bottomless glass of wine before grabbing Gettysburgers and heading over to Jake's. He actually gets her to drink a (gasp!) beer, smooch and have the kinda steamy sex she usually reserves for a certain politico. Despite the title of this section,there is definitely no "faking it" going on when these two connect.
Liar, Liar: Sick of living in a hotel, Cyrus goes home and even offers to go to therapy with his hubby. James, knowing full well they can't go to a shrink and discuss how Cyrus stole an election, goes into whiny mode until his voice reaches a pitch heard only by dogs in far-away places. Cyrus points out that he is who he always was, and that James is simply feeling guilty because he chose their relationship over revealing the truth. "It's rotting deep inside you," says Cyrus, "this choice you made. And it's not so much the choice, it's the fact that you now know you're capable of making that kind of choice."Basically, Cyrus seems to be saying, "Welcome to the dark side… we have cookies!"
True Lies: Molly's stopped at the airport and admits that she lied because she was forced by someone very, very bad to do so. Meanwhile, a drunk Fitz regales a less-than-thrilled Mellie with the real story of how they met(as opposed to the lovey-dovey version they've been telling for years): turns out his dad basically hooked them up because she was a blue blood. "It wasn't even a blind date, it was a merger," he reflects. "It was just shy of prostitution." He asks if she's tired of pretending and she replies, "Every married couple alive pretends. They pretend they don't hate their in-laws or their husband's stupid jokes or their wife's shrill laugh. Or that they don't actually love one of their children more than the others." That right there is almost enough to make me call my mom and demand she admit to loving both her offspring equally. "Buying into the delusion that there's any other way to… get through an entire life together? That's the fantasy," says Mellie, who is now officially bumming everyone out.But her honesty does get Fitz to apologize if he was the one who "did this to"her. Speaking of lies, Abby tells David, "Liking sleeping with you and not wanting you to die is not the same as having feelings for you." He gets her to admit she has feelings for him… but mentally says "Gotcha!" before saying he can't love someone he can't trust. And everybody knows you can't trust a ginger.
Parting Shots: Cyrus gets a call from Fitz, who confesses that he murdered Verna, and the Gladiators learn that Molly's dead thanks to a supposed hit-and-run accident. Fresh from having slept with Jake, Liv gets the shock ofher life when she finds out that his TV gets more than just HBO. In trying to escape, she falls and hits her head, passing out even as Jake is trying to explain that he's been using the cameras to protect her from "him", a mysterious, armed masked man who's in her apartment. Waking up in the hospital, Olivia finds Jake hovering over her and insisting she stick to the cover story he provides her. Why? Because the next person to enter is Fitz. Liv realizes her former and current lovers know one another and, as Fitz goes in for a neck nibble, her eyes get about as big as those of us wondering what the heck is going on!

The Chemistry Book
From Gunpowder to Graphene, 250 Milestones in the History of Chemistry
By Derek B Lowe
The Chemistry Book (2016) takes us on a tour through the history of chemistry from the first Bronze Age advancements to a possible future where clean, renewable energy is an everyday reality. Learn about the events and discoveries that have changed the world.
Anyone curious about how the world works
Students of chemistry and biology
People who enjoy stories about inventions and discoveries
Derek B Lowe is a medicinal chemist who has worked for such companies as Bayer, Vertex, and Novartis. He's also considered one of the first science bloggers. His blog In the Pipeline has provided readers with insight into the business, legal, and scientific matters with which people in his field have to deal. He is also a regular columnist for Chemistry World.
Human achievements in chemistry started in the Bronze Age.
Our planet has always been home to amazing chemical processes. Take the two-story-tall crystals that pack caves in Mexico – the Cueva de Los Cristales. These gigantic pillars are a mind-boggling example of what happens when the common mineral gypsum is submerged in water that's being heated up by magma, and then spends centuries cooling down during an ice age. The caves look like something out of a bizarre sci-fi movie. But they're real, stunning, larger-than-life examples of chemical reactions that needed no human involvement.
It's hard to say what the first human chemical discovery was. Was it the first man-made fire? Or the first time someone used a plant to help heal a wound?
The key message here is: Human achievements in chemistry started in the Bronze Age.
While copper was already being used for some basic tools, around 3300 BCE, we found a better, stronger, and more durable material in bronze.
Essentially, bronze is what happens when tin is added to copper. And what made this combination possible was travel and trade. Around 2000 BCE, tin from Cornwall, in southwestern England, began to show up in the Mediterranean. Eventually, some of the more daring metal workers in Mesopotamia began to experiment with the materials they had, including lead, nickel, silver – and copper. Eventually, bronze was born.
Over time, the Greeks would add more lead to the mixture to make bronze easier to work with, and then zinc would be added to make brass. Despite the changes throughout history, bronze has always been the metal of choice for bells, and it can still be found in the cymbals on your standard drum kit.
Around 1300 BCE, the Bronze Age transitioned into the Iron Age. But this wasn't because iron was seen as a superior metal. Bronze is, in fact, harder and far less prone to corrosion. Really, what iron had going for it was availability.
Early iron technology involved heating charcoal and iron ore, producing a lump of crude smelted iron in the bottom of the furnace. Impurities were then, quite literally, hammered out. This has always been a labor-intensive process and one that requires a lot of forced air to keep furnaces burning at high temperatures. To get such conditions, it's believed that some smelting operations were seasonal, in order to take advantage of recurring monsoon-like conditions.
But despite all this, iron smelting capabilities quickly spread, though it's possible that locations as far removed as India and sub-Saharan Africa developed the technology independently from each other.
Ancient chemists advanced purification and refinement techniques, often with hopes for gold and eternal life.
Some ancient techniques took hundreds of years to understand, while others remain a mystery.
Good and virtuous intentions can sometimes lead to unintended consequences.
In the seventeenth century, world-changing developments preceded a shift to hard science.
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, chemical synthesis continued to advance.
In many cases, landmark events required multiple discoveries.
History is full of troublesome substances.
Some discoveries came at a heavy cost.
It took decades before the effects of leaded gasoline were revealed.
The twentieth century featured some disastrous chemical developments.
Modern research techniques have led to the development of life-saving drugs.

Next-gen network small threat to incumbents
Allowing new service providers to offer high-availability broadband will not pose significant threat to existing operators in Singapore, according to analysts.
By Victoria Ho | July 20, 2009 -- 11:52 GMT (04:52 PDT) | Topic: Networking
Opening the Singapore market to new service providers offering high-bandwidth, high-availability connectivity, will mean incumbents are likely to suffer, but the extent will be minimal, said analysts.
Singapore's planned next-generation broadband network (NBN) will offer different grades of service levels to downstream service providers, lowering the barrier to entry for such providers to sell high-availability connectivity to enterprises. This competes directly with incumbents SingTel and StarHub, that already sell "Class A" tiered services to enterprises for use in bandwidth-hungry applications such as telepresence.
However, the new service providers' lack of a broad portfolio of other offerings will still make it difficult for them to put up a real threat.
Bryan Wang, connectivity research director, Asia-Pacific, Springboard, said with broadband connectivity "already a commodity", current players are differentiating several ways: branding, bundling other services and sales support.
"There will be very limited room for new players to be able to come in and play a significant role in the marketplace, as there will be very limited differentiation they can make.
"New players cannot do any bundling due to the lack of infrastructure, which makes their price and services less attractive to consumers," noted Wang.
In spite of the wholesale connectivity promised by the NBN to downstream providers, Wang does not expect a price war to occur because of the number of providers jostling for space in Singapore's small market.
Kenneth Liew, senior market analyst, communications research, IDC Asia-Pacific, told ZDNet Asia a portion of SingTel's revenue from leasing out connectivity is likely to decrease, as the market gets split up with the NBN.
But the extent of this decrease will be minimal, because SingTel is able to offer business broadband connectivity bundled with its High-Speed Packet Access (HSPA) network, which retail service providers on the NBN do not have, he said.
This includes foreign operators that might be eyeing the NBN opportunity to enter the market, but do not have existing cellular broadband assets.
However, the NBN may level the playing field for competing telcos. Liew said currently, StarHub is only able to offer business broadband connectivity within the central business district. Once the NBN is up, StarHub will be able to offer island-wide connectivity, bundled with its mobile broadband services.
An Infocomm Development Authority (IDA) spokesperson said the NBN's "highly flexible suite of wholesale broadband connectivity" is expected to "spur greater vibrancy and competition at the services layer".
SingTel and StarHub responded to ZDNet Asia's enquiry, saying they currently provide Class A service levels to enterprises.
Lars Ronning, president, Tandberg Asia-Pacific, told ZDNet Asia the NBN's islandwide coverage will allow more videoconferencing to be set up outside of the office, and into homes.
"Service providers will be forced to up their game to be more cost and service conscious... Cost of bandwidth has always been the enemy of videoconferencing, so we see the planned NGN as a fantastic move forward for our business and the industry," said Ronning.
Michael See, regional director, Asean, Hong Kong and Taiwan at Polycom Asia-Pacific, said in an e-mail response the NBN will help improve the quality of offerings for telepresence vendors, such as higher call quality, security and uptime, as well as features and functions such as content sharing.
Polycom currently partners SingTel to provide connectivity to enterprise customers in Singapore.

Gary Sanchez opens up on postseason silent treatment from Yankees

How Yankees stack up against AL East foes as DJ LeMahieu chase continues
After the worst season of his career, Gary Sanchez said he wants to be the Yankees' starting catcher and that he wasn't given an explanation by the team for why he was benched during the playoffs.
In an ESPN interview conducted in Spanish published Monday, Sanchez said while he was told why he wasn't behind the plate at times during the shortened regular season, that was not the case in the playoffs, when he started just twice in seven postseason games.
"When they benched me during the regular season, it was explained to me that I would catch one day and have a day off or catch two days and then have a day off to rest, [to] work on things,'' Sanchez, who was replaced by Kyle Higashioka, told ESPN. "Then the playoffs came along, and you start getting excited and you have all that adrenaline. I already felt I was in better form and I had so much desire to contribute to the team, to finally do something, which I did not do in the regular season. Feeling like I couldn't contribute was very hard. I always kept supporting my team. But the reality is, they never told me why I was benched. I didn't know why I wasn't playing."
Sanchez said prior to the playoffs, when he didn't play, he was told he'd get two or three days off to "get myself back together again."
By the playoffs, Higashioka had become ace Gerrit Cole's personal catcher, so Sanchez didn't catch those games.
He started Game 2 against Cleveland and homered, but only started one more game the rest of the way.
"After almost a week without playing, it didn't go well for me in the second game,'' Sanchez said of going hitless with three striketous in an ALDS Game 2 loss to the Rays in the bubble in San Diego. "Actually, none of us did well in that game. After that, I thought I was going to play the next day, because it had been a very bad game for everybody. I struck out three times, but I felt like I was taking good cuts, good swings. I felt so much better.
"But I didn't play. And I said to myself, 'What happened here?' But my job is to support my team. But from then on, nobody told me anything. They just told me, 'Stay ready…' I would have liked someone to tell me, 'This is what's happening…" and one has to understand and accept that as a man."
Sanchez said he requested to talk to Aaron Boone after the season. The two had a "respectful and very positive conversation" and "cleared things up. After talking to Boone, everything is fine."
Sanchez has been playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic to make up for lost at-bats during the 2020 season and general manager Brian Cashman said earlier this month Sanchez was "the heir apparent" at starting catcher heading into spring training.
But the GM this offseason has also called it a "fair question" to wonder what Sanchez's role will be next season after playing so poorly last year.
"I cannot speak for the team, but I'm ready to be an everyday catcher,'' Sanchez said. "Right now, I'm 27 and I don't see myself as a catcher one day a week, two days a week. I don't see my career going that way yet. I know that I can play and help the team on both sides of the ball every day."
Last week, Cole told the YES Network he expected to work with both Sanchez and Higashioka next spring, but Higashioka caught Cole's last four regular season starts and all of his postseason outings, with significantly better results than when he pitched to Sanchez.
"At first, I thought I was just getting days off,'' Sanchez said. "The next time Cole's turn came up, I had had like a day or two of rest, and it ended up that I was not in the lineup catching him. And at that moment, I said to myself, 'I'm not going to get to catch him anymore.'
"But nobody told me or explained anything. I am someone who does not like to cause trouble, so I just let it go. I remained calm, because if Cole decides to choose someone, he knows what he's doing.''
Sanchez said it's difficult hearing it from the fans — including the narrative that he's a lazy player — but it comes with the territory off a season like he had.
"And now I have to listen to all the negative comments, everything that everyone has to say about me, because the truth is that I played badly at the plate,'' Sanchez said. " That is why I have to take everything anyone says. Let them say what they want; I deserve it. That will make me better and stronger."

Engaging a design consultant to explain the basic techniques and perhaps provide some inspirational ideas may be all you need to get the ball rolling. In the end only you can decide what is right for your garden. Tastes in gardens vary as much as in interior design and preferences for art or music. The true acid test of whether your new garden design has worked is only gauged by the pleasure that it gives you.
Many long for a larger garden, a few for something smaller and more manageable, but the vast majority will make the best of their existing plots. Improving our garden spaces, coaxing the maximum impact from them is an enjoyable challenge that most avid green thumbs would rise to. The trick of course is knowing how!


Emmitt Reesor of Waterloo, ON, nailed his most nerve-wracking dive in the final to place third on men's platform on Friday at the British Elite Junior Diving Championships.
Local diver Jack Burrows won the gold with 312.50 points and Romano Wang of England was second at 309.75. Reesor, among a handful of international divers competing here, took the third spot at 298.75.
Reesor's best dive was his back two and a half which he executed in the second of three rounds in the final. He received three 7.0's and four 7.5's from the judges.
Loic Tremblay of Quebec City was also in the final and took the sixth spot with 275.45.
''My preliminaries went well but I felt all my dives in the final were under par,'' said Tremblay.
On women's platform, three British divers grabbed the podium with Maisie Bond first, Hannah Newbrook second and Saeren Brett third.
Renee Batalla of Victoria showed she has the courage to be a top-level diver as she came back from a mishap in the warm-up to place fifth.
Batalla hit her foot on the platform just before the start of the competition executing her inward two and a half. In the final, it was her best dive.
Jordane Legault of Blainville, Que., was sixth while Maika Januario of Terrebonne, Que., ranked sixth in the prelims but only two per country could advance to the final.

The Hidden Love Story in Green Lantern: Beware My Power
By Joshua Lapin-Bertone Thursday, July 28th, 2022
In many ways, Green Lantern: Beware My Power is a love story. The latest DC Universe animated film features John Stewart transforming into Green Lantern and embarking on an intergalactic adventure alongside Green Arrow, Adam Strange and Hawkgirl. It's a fun superhero romp with a dash of space opera thrown in, but I couldn't help but gravitate to the story of John Stewart and his new relationship. Only this relationship wasn't a romance with another Lantern or even another superhero, but a connection between John Stewart and his new Green Lantern power ring. If you've seen the movie, then you might know what I'm talking about. If you haven't had a chance to watch it yet, then consider this your spoiler warning.
Green Lantern: Beware My Power completely changed the way I look at the Green Lantern Corps. I've always known their power rings were important, but comics and other pieces of media always seemed to treat them like nothing more than weapons or tools. A power ring had just as much agency as one of Batman's batarangs or Green Arrow's broadheads. You would never see Oliver have a witty conversation with his quiver or show Batman feeling an emotional loss after throwing one of his gas capsules. The Green Lantern power rings are different, though, and this movie perfectly demonstrates why.
First of all, the obvious—it's a talking space ring that responds to your commands. Occasionally we'll see the power rings talk in the comics, but it's something that is usually glossed over. But let's think about what that means. The Green Lantern power rings are capable of speaking, therefore we could have conversations with them. That means we can relate to them.
That's exactly what happens to John Stewart in this film. His ring is more than a tool, it's something he has a relationship with and that relationship evolves as the movie progresses. Initially, John rejects the ring and goes to great lengths to rid himself of it. He's uncomfortable wearing it and takes every opportunity to tell all the heroes he encounters that he wants the ring gone.
Why is John reacting this way? While the film never comes out and directly says it, I think his initial rejection of the ring has everything to do with post traumatic stress. A series of flashbacks reveal that John served in the military and his memories are less than pleasant. In the present day, we see him trying to shake off his trauma, but it keeps bubbling to the surface, sometimes causing John to attack strangers. He doesn't want to be anywhere near weapons or violence.
So, how does the power ring fit into that equation? It's possible that John sees it as a weapon rather than a tool. The power ring can be deadly if it's put in the wrong hands, and that's just how John sees himself. After all, he's attacking strangers in the street—how can he trust himself with a powerful cosmic ring? If you rewatch the movie with that in mind, John's reactions to the ring begin to click.
Sadly, John's fears aren't unfounded. He almost loses control and kills Hawkgirl during their first confrontation. The ring tries to stop John and luckily, he's able to snap out of it. Still, is it any wonder he's so desperate to get the thing off?
It's almost ironic that war is what traumatized John in the first place, while another war in outer space is what ultimately helps him heal. Someone is pulling the strings in an intergalactic skirmish between Rann and Thanagar. John helps to diffuse the conflict, and along the way, he begins to accept his power ring.
Like most relationships, the bonding's a slow process. Slowly, John goes from wanting to be rid of the ring to finding excuses to keep it on. He tells Green Arrow that the ring can help end the Rann/Thanagar war. He begins having conversations with it—real conversations. In the first act of the movie, John's chats with the ring are uncomfortable, hesitant and almost ineffective. They're like those awkward first dates where nobody knows what to say to one another.
But by the middle of the movie their banter has improved. Yes, I said banter—John and the ring actually joke with one another. While flying to Rann, John begins to practice making constructs with his ring. The ring teases John by saying, "For a being who doesn't want to be a Green Lantern, you show some ability." John responds playfully, saying, "Just passing the time." It's a fun exchange between the two of them! Can you imagine Batman doing this with his utility belt?
Their relationship can also be tracked through the constructs John creates. During his early battles with the Justice League and Hawkgirl, John's constructs are sloppy and don't seem to resemble any real objects. By the end of the movie, he's making fully realized weapons and using them against his enemies. The power ring seems to help John work through his trauma, and he's able to fight evil without emotionally falling apart. The scars from his time in the military are still there, but now he knows how to live with them.
There are a lot of reasons to love Green Lantern: Beware My Power. It has some awesome twists that I've avoided spoiling here. It has cool space battles, great cosmic action, and it's a non-stop thrill ride. But it's also a great story about a man, a ring and the beautiful friendship they share.
Green Lantern: Beware My Power is now available on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray and Digital.

I want to introduce a section called quick tip as I have a lot that I can share which I encounter on a day to day basis. The first one that I will share is overlaid image using CSS.
I'm trying to place an image with a link OUTSIDE the main area of my page and was hoping I could somehow use this tutorial to do it, but I apparently am not proficient enough yet at WordPress to do so.
. In general, what I want to do is add a giant background image BEHIND my post, and then have a clickable area on either side of the page so that I can have advertising behind the page.
Do you know if there's a way to place a sort of invisible clickable image map with absolute coordinates?

Two men dead in police custody in Braunschweig and Berlin
Police continue to investigate the cause of death
The circumstances surrounding the death of a man who died in police custody in Braunschweig remain unclear. The responsible public prosecutor's office told "nd" that the cause of death of the 38-year-old could not be determined during an autopsy at the Hannover Medical School. However, the examinations so far had not found any evidence of "relevant or fatal violence".
So far, there is no independent information on the incident. However, a photo of an intubated black person named "Johnson" was posted on Instagram on Sunday, purportedly showing the deceased. "You can see he was beaten," the anonymous author wrote there. According to this, the deceased is his uncle.
As is usually seen in such cases, further investigations will not be conducted by the police station concerned, but by the neighbouring police station in Gifhorn. A toxicological examination ordered by the public prosecutor's office is to find out whether the man, on whom drugs were allegedly found, died of poisoning due to the consumption of alcohol or narcotics. This result is expected to be available in the coming days. A further investigation into possible previous illnesses will take "several weeks or even months, according to experience", according to the public prosecutor's office.
The man had been arrested in a pub on New Year's morning after he had sprayed pepper spray and injured at least four guests, according to police. Witnesses had named the man as a suspect, and he was said to have resisted police forces.
At the police headquarters, the accused attacked two employees "with punches", after which he was handcuffed, the police said. As he was "apparently under the influence of narcotics", the man was medically intercepted by a doctor who was present in custody. Only when she wanted to take a blood sample on the order of a judge did she realise that he had lost consciousness and started resuscitation measures. An emergency doctor who was called in was said to have used a defibrillator. After his vital functions had been restored, the man was transferred to the Braunschweig hospital. He died there on the night of 3 January.
Another man died in police custody in Berlin-Tempelhof at the beginning of the year. The 68-year-old had been brought in early in the afternoon "after an ongoing trespass", having been ordered by a judge to remain in custody until the end of the day, according to the police in the only press release on the incident so far. At around 8 p.m., a police employee saw the man lying motionless in the "custody room" during a patrol. Officers and an immediately called emergency doctor initiated resuscitation, but the man died on the spot.
"According to the first statement of a doctor on call, health circumstances could be the reason for the death," the police wrote in their report. A post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death was carried out at the Institute of Forensic Medicine at the Charité hospital, a spokesperson for the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office explained at the request of "nd". According to the report, the cause was pneumonia in connection with a corona disease. The man had also had a heart disease.
There were no indications of any external influence. As in Braunschweig, a toxicological-chemical examination was also ordered in Berlin. Further investigations into the cause of death were taken over by the criminal investigation department of the Southern Directorate, which also includes the Tempelhof district.

The Sales team is the backbone of any organization and without their contribution, it's not possible for a company to grow great heights.
At the same time, sales team members are always smothered with decision making, delays, and approvals that take a hefty amount of their time.
When a new lead is generated, when more discount percentage is required or invoices to be sent to clients, there are usually bottlenecks at every point. Introducing automation and streamlined workflows to your sales process approval is the key to success.
How to do better lead management with workflow?
Leads are too many, be it paid leads, organic or those generated through marketing campaigns. When the sales team find themselves slammed in every direction by those numbers, a workflow can help to better lead management.
By segregating these leads based on sources, their genuine level or those that are manually verified by a pre-sales team, it is easier to focus on what matters the most than waste time on everything that drops in their inbox or in the lead repository.
How to manage discounts with workflow?
Can your sales team make quick decisions when offering more discounts beyond a specified number?
Actually, they should be able to do that in order to attract more customers. However, such a step requires prior approval from team leaders, managers and sometimes even the CEO in case of bulk orders.
When a workflow is implemented in sales discount, conditional steps can be specified which will automatically bring the manager or TL inside the loop when their approval becomes mandatory for an increased discount for specific customers.
How to manage invoices with workflow?
There are so many important bills and files handled in an office on a daily basis. Out of the lot, invoices are the biggest of them all because even a small typo could lead to a huge loss or brand's integrity lost among clients.
When these invoices are being sent out, a workflow will make it easier to assign the people who should be approving it after thoroughly checking the details. The sales approval process ends when the invoice is generated and it should be carried out in a professional manner.
The automated invoice workflow ensures there are no errors, approvals are done in time and vendors are happy.
Cflow is a flow chart based workflow automation software and introducing it in your Sales approval process can bring about the desired change. The drag and drop interface allows every sales person to easily use it while they no longer have to manually ping managers for approvals.
All the mitigations and arguments that internally takes place will be moved to a streamlined platform where they can send sales requests back and forth until it reaches a completed form. Cflow acts as a powerful intermediate platform to help manage your leads, invoices and other requests ensuring better workflow management.

Cerebrovascular disease burden in late-onset non-lesional focal epilepsy
Purpose: Late-onset non-lesional focal epilepsy, defined as new-onset seizures in patients older than 60 years, is diagnosed increasingly more often in relation to aging of the population. It has been attributed mainly to occult cerebral small vessel disease (SVD), although high levels of evidence to support this notion are lacking. This study aimed to evaluate the burden of leukoaraiosis, a marker of cerebral SVD, and hippocampal atrophy in patients with late-onset epilepsy (LOE). Methods: Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies were retrospectively analyzed by two blinded radiologists. The Fazekas and Scheltens scales were used to assess the degree of leukoaraiosis and hippocampal atrophy in 33 patients with non-lesional LOE, 41 patients with clinical signs of SVD (eg, recent history of transient ischemic attack [TIA] or lacunar stroke), and 26 healthy controls, all >60 years of age. Results: Mean age in epilepsy patients was 70.9 (±6.6) years; 57.6% were men. The history of vascular risk factors was similar in all groups. Median (interquartile range) Fazekas score was 1 (0–1) in the epilepsy group, 1 (0–2) in TIA/lacunar stroke patients, and 0 (0–1) in the healthy group. Degree of leukoaraiosis was milder in epilepsy patients compared to the TIA/lacunar stroke group (p = 0.004), and similar to that of healthy controls (p = 0.593). Hippocampal atrophy was significantly greater in patients with epilepsy (p < 0.005). Conclusion: These findings suggest that the etiology of LOE is not exclusively related to cerebrovascular disease. Hippocampal atrophy may contribute to the origin of the seizures.

Noorderhoogebrug (Gronings: Hogebrug) is een dorp binnen de gemeente Groningen in de provincie Groningen in Nederland met 285 inwoners (2018).

De naam verwijst naar de voormalige brug over het Boterdiep. Bij de stad Groningen waren twee bruggen met de naam Hoogebrug aanwezig, vandaar de toevoeging Noorder. De andere Hoogebrug lag over het Damsterdiep en de plaats eromheen wordt Oosterhoogebrug genoemd. De brug werd hoog genoemd, omdat deze vaste brug boven de weg uitstak en er zo met gemak schepen onderdoor konden varen. De brug lag tegenover het huis aan de Molenstreek 8. Oorspronkelijk lag hier de Walfridusbrug, die de toegang vormde tot de Wolddijk. Rond 1500 werd de Walfridusbrug vervangen door een hoge brug. Of dit voor de scheepvaart was of om een andere reden is niet bekend. Na het gereedkomen van deze brug raakte de naam Walfridusbrug uit gebruik en werd vervangen door eerst 'hogherbrugge' (1514), vervolgens 'Westerhoogebrug' en vervolgens vanaf ongeveer 1590 door 'Noorderhoogebrug'. De tegenwoordige brug van het dorp is de Boterdiepbrug.

De bebouwing van de stad Groningen komt vrijwel aan die van Noorderhoogebrug.

Het dorp bezit een grote korenmolen, de Wilhelmina. Naast de molen lag een sarrieshut. Op de fundamenten hiervan is een woning gebouwd die dezelfde naam heeft.

Het dorp behoorde tot 1969 voor wat betreft de Molenstreek en omgeving tot de gemeente Noorddijk. Die gemeente was hier bijzonder smal - slechts zo'n 20 m Noorddijker grond lag er op het smalste punt tussen de toenmalige gemeenten Groningen en Bedum. Het café Stad en Lande stond zelfs op de gemeentegrens. De woonkamer was in Groningen, terwijl de gelagkamer zich in Noorddijk bevond. De rest van Noorderhoogebrug (Groningerweg en Wolddijk) behoorde tot aan de annexatie door de gemeente Groningen tot de gemeente Bedum.

Geboren in Noorderhoogebrug
 Willem Wijk (1864-1941), militair en Tweede Kamerlid
 Jan Uitham (1925-2019), marathonschaatser
 Berend Hoekstra (1953), politicus

We finished off labeling the work, which brings to mind the interesting tidbit that just a handful of years ago, one seldom saw any labels at art shows or art fairs. It was as if all curators and gallerists in the upper artsmosphere of the art world that made a decision to endorse David Parnas' information hiding principle. Today, it is the opposite, as delivering as much information about the work seems to be the trend.


Welcome to the Woodstock of high-end audio shows!
The weather was absolutely gorgeous all weekend, which set the tone for the show. I don't know if it was just me, but I thought everyone seemed to be in an especially good mood. I think LSAF 2018 was our best year ever!
There were lots of rooms with a little bit for every taste. We had rooms with direct radiating speakers. We had three rooms with horns or waveguides. And we even had one room that was dedicated to headphone listening.
Price points were varied too, with many rooms showing affordable gear and some rooms with systems more expensive than most peoples' homes. So like I said: We had something there for everyone!

Health Deadly bird flu may be five steps from pandemic, study finds
Deadly bird flu may be five steps from pandemic, study finds
Five genetic tweaks made a deadly strain of bird flu that can infect humans spread more easily, according to a study that the US government had first sought to censor on concerns it could be used by bioterrorists.
The genetic changes made the H5N1 virus airborne among ferrets, the mammals whose response to flu is most like that of humans, researchers from the Netherlands wrote in the journal Science yesterday. The likelihood of those changes occurring naturally is difficult to estimate but there is "no fundamental hurdle to that happening," said Derek Smith, a University of Cambridge researcher who led a second study.
Scientists have been monitoring for pandemic-inducing changes in H5N1 since the strain was recovered from a farmed goose in China's southern province of Guangdong in 1996. The virus has since spread across Asia, Europe, the Middle East and parts of Africa, devastating poultry flocks and causing sporadic infections in people, among whom it doesn't efficiently transmit.
"We now know that we're living on a fault line," Smith said on a conference call with reporters. "It's an active fault line, it really could do something, and now what we need to know is, how likely is that?"
Publication of the paper was delayed after a U.S. biosecurity panel in December asked the scientists to censor some parts of their work to prevent it being used by bioterrorists. Researchers meeting at the World Health Organization in February agreed the full findings should be published to help scientists design vaccines and drugs, and public health officials prepare for a pandemic.
Mixing viruses
More than 600 people have been infected with H5N1 since 2003, and almost 60 percent have died, according to the Geneva- based WHO. Most had direct contact with infected poultry, prompting scientists to question what it would take for the virus to become easily transmissible between humans.
While influenza viruses mutate constantly in a process called antigenic drift, the flu pandemics of the past century, including the 1918 Spanish flu that killed as many as 50 million people, have all been triggered by so-called antigenic shift, the mixing of human and animal flu viruses to create new pathogens to which people have no pre-existing immunity.
Scientists led by Ron Fouchier at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam set out to test whether H5N1 could become more transmissible by antigenic drift alone. The answer: yes.
Infected ferrets
Fouchier and colleagues examined mutations in viruses responsible for previous flu pandemics, and made three such changes to a strain of H5N1 from Indonesia, the country with the most cases and deaths, which they used to infect a ferret. They later took swabs from its nose and throat and used that to infect another ferret, and so on up to 10 animals, to see how the virus evolved.
Sure enough, it developed the ability to replicate in the animals' respiratory tract, suggesting the potential for airborne transmission.
The researchers then put the virus to the test by putting the infected animals next to healthy ferrets in neighboring cages. Six out of eight of the healthy ferrets became infected.
In addition to the three genetic changes introduced by the scientists, they identified two other mutations that enabled the virus to spread, the researchers wrote. Those mutations are now the subject of further research.
The five changes have all been observed in nature, but not in the same virus, they wrote. The mutant viruses were susceptible to Roche Holding AG's antiviral drug Tamiflu.
A similar study led by Yoshihiro Kawaoka at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, which was also delayed, was published in the journal Nature in May. That showed how H5N1 could become highly transmissible by mixing with the H1N1 virus that sparked the 2009 swine flu pandemic.
'Wrong hands'
The two groups agreed in December to suspend their work for 60 days after the US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity asked two journals to censor some details of the work to ensure it wouldn't "fall into the wrong hands."
The controversy over the studies triggered a new US government policy for conducting or funding research that could potentially be used for harm, Anthony S. Fauci, the director of the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and Francis S. Collins, the director of the US National Institutes of Health, wrote in an accompanying article.
"˜Nefarious use'
The benefits of the research "far outweigh the risks of the nefarious use of this information," Fauci said on the conference call. "Being in the free and open literature would make it much more easy to get a lot of the good guys involved than the risk of getting the rare bad guy involved."
Other pathogens studied by scientists are more transmissible and deadlier than H5N1, Fouchier said.
"Anyone with access to the scientific literature can read about all the dangerous pathogens that are more interesting to terrorize the world with than our particular virus," he said on the conference call.
A moratorium on the research will remain in place until the conditions under which the work is done are assessed by authorities, Fouchier said.
The research was funded by the National Institutes of Health.
