One of the most valuable assets of Haley House is our alumni. The Alumni Department is dedicated to supporting not only those who have recently begun their journey of recovery, but also those individuals who have enjoyed continuous sobriety.
Families of alumni are significant assets to the Haley House program. They offer vital support.
Haley House alumni are invited (and encouraged!) to participate in a variety of special events held at Haley House, Alina Lodge and throughout the country.
Special events include celebrating your anniversary at Haley House: The invitation to celebrate is extended to anyone who has maintained continued sobriety since leaving Haley House.
Family and friends are also invited to join the celebrant for dinner. Children under the age of 13 are not permitted to attend.
Luncheons are held in the spring and fall and feature a guest speaker. Open to graduates, family and friends of Haley House & Alina Lodge.
Come and visit Haley House at the largest alumni event of the year!
Giving rides to meetings, to and from work for residents not yet driving.
Share your experience, strength and hope with our current residents. Saturday mornings, 9am.
Come and celebrate your anniversary at Haley House. The most important speakers the current residents will hear during their stay is YOU! You slept in the beds, you went through the lectures, you made the changes necessary and you are leading a happy, productive life today. The promises are coming true! Come back and share your experience, strength and hope with the current residents. They need to hear your message.
Returning to the Haley House is an emotional experience. It's very important to keep it green and each year by take a speaking commitment around your anniversary to remember and to reflect.
We are hoping all residents will hear their story from one of our alumni speakers during their stay. You will give them the hope they so badly need. If you can do it they can do it!
Haley House is always looking for AA speakers with more than 2 years of sobriety to come share on a Sunday evening (join us for dinner at 6PM). A wonderful way to help Haley House is to take a service commitment. Call Laurie and come speak or fill the commitment with a speaker from your home group that you think has a good message.
We need testimonials from alumni in every shape and form. They are used on the website, Facebooks, on our brochures etc. It can be a whole story, a couple of paragraphs, a sentence. Please contact Laurie at the Lodge if you would like to do this. What comes from the heart goes to the heart. Your words will help others and give them the hope they need.
Volunteering to help out at a Haley House event is a wonderful way to give back. We are always in need of help the day of our Gratitude picnic in June or our 5K in October. Take a service commitment offering Haley House your time, it can be blowing up balloons or working a water table, many other little jobs and we need you!!! Service work is where it's at!
We would love to hear from you! Please contact Laurie at the Lodge for more information or suggestions.
Her passion for giving people hope lives on at Haley House and Alina Lodge!
Haley House and Little Hill Foundation depend on the generous giving from alumni, friends and family. Through their generous gift, we are able to provide thousand's of scholarship days to those in need.

This tubular steel desk is a successful example of the Bauhaus' programmatic claim of combining art and technology into a formal unit. The tabletop and storage elements made of varnished or stained wood harmonically fit in with the tubular steel design. The supporting frame consists of a single line; the wooden elements seem to float in it. The simple piece of furniture, which is formally balanced in its proportions, represents an expressive piece of contemporary history known as "The New Objectivity." We produce various versions of this model.
Frame chrome-plated tubular steel, body in stained oak and ash, ash open pore lacquer or body lacquered in various colors. Drawers lockable with central lock. Also available as a version with open shelf compartments or in a "Pure Materials" version with oiled walnut veneer.
Current product changes:-We have equipped the desk's drawers with a self-closing drawer track. Due to the increased size of the track, the arrangement and number of drawers has therefore changed.
- The version with shelves can now be fitted with drawers. The desks are also available in a mirror-inverted version. Please indicate on your order!
I'm interested in purchasing this furniture. Could you please provide more information about Thonet S285?

Goosebumps Author R. L. Stine Is Writing a Marvel Comic
By: Alex Osborn
R.L. Stine is currently at work on a Marvel comic book series, the beloved children's author has revealed.
"I'm writing a series of comic books for Marvel—my first comics ever," the Goosebumps author said in an AMA on Reddit. Unfortunately, Stine couldn't elaborate any further, adding, "I'm not allowed to talk about them yet."
IGN had the opportunity to speak with the author last year about his popular series of spooky children's books. He told us that with Goosebumps, the intention was never to terrorize kids; instead, he just wanted to "them to have a little creepy adventure."

You're missing the ??? type of beginner (Shade before becoming Shade, literally called "???"). They have NO skills at all, and you need to wait for an event that moves you in order to leave the starter area. EXTREMELY RARE, and I have one! Since it has no skills at all, it's definitely the most respected beginner, especially as a non-leecher.
Respected - as long as they don't abuse glitches and/or Nexon staff ignorance to get out of their starter area.
Oldschool EMS Player, returning to find account gone - Trying to casually rebuild a perma beginner.
Any other beginners still around want to play, hang out or help. Feel free to add me on 'Transparency' on Luna.
It's good to know my guide is helping out! Not a lot of people know or care to attempt clearing the Sengoku quest line because of how tedious it is. Despite all that hassle, you're gifted with this super-quick way to get lots of exp that ought to take 45 minutes to an hour for all 7 entries.
Woot reached 190 today! With the right familair. Been using oda knight and death scythe. And soul. I can actually train at fes4 aswell takes a bit but its exp.still doing princeas no daily. And collecting more familairs and cards to update my book. Next step 200!
Wooohooo got 200 today . leveling is gonna be slower now at PNAE but i will keep going slowly.
Congrats! That didn't take long at all. See Prime504? This guide is proof that you can hit 200 without leech and then some.
I'm currently doing Temple of Time. I'm stuck at the point where you have to visit your first job instructor. Obviously, us perma beginners don't have one. How do I progress here?
Good question! I haven't gone through the ToT quest line on any of my starters yet. I think maybe it has something to do with what class you said you wanted to become but never got and that's the NPC you talk to? Sorry I'm not much help with that. It's strange, though. I saw a video on youtube with someone having a beginner in an Oblivian map.
Nope, talking to any of the job instructors doesn't work. Also, seeing a perma beginner in an Oblivion map is perfectly possible since hyper rocks exist.
I too have tried this and I can confirm that there's no way to move forward in ToT as a Perm Beginner. The chances are very slim that beginners will ever be qualified for that one crutial requirement. But until then, just keep doing PNAE and sudden missions. Keep it up!
I noticed it hasn't been noted so I thought I'd mention this. This is the method I've been using to level my beginner.
As soon as you have access to Afterlands, go there. The main questline gives great exp, but the reason Afterlands is particularly great is for the repeatable quests in Land of Innocence and Land of Riches. These quests are Dry Your Eyes, Distracted From Anger, and A Tasteful Favor.
Dry Your Eyes and Distracted From Anger are turn in quests in the Land of Innocence (10 Frozen Treat items/10 Child's Toy items, respectively). They can each be completed 5 times per 24 hour period (I am not totally sure if its 24 hrs, this needs confirmation. could be 12-16 hours honestly I am not sure). Each turn in rewards ~4.65% exp, for a total of around 40% exp per day! The real reason these quests are good is because the items can be farmed on another character and traded over via storage, so you can get free 40% exp for your beginner per day by doing nothing.
A Tasteful Favor is another repeatable quest in the Land of Riches. Not sure how many times you can do this one before you have to wait, I have not counted exactly. For this quest, you will be given one of two tasks: either hand in 20 Food Basket items (these can be farmed on another character) or eliminate 50 Treasure Thief Moustrosity mobs. A Tasteful Favor rewards waaay more exp than the Land of Innocence turn ins. There is also another reason to do this quest: Delicious Gold Piece item. This item can be used to achieve an effect similar to Rune of Might in regular training fields. For a beginner, this is HUGE. It means you can get about 3-4 minutes of actual mobbing per day. I strongly recommend saving exp coupons/getting MVP buff from other players and using them with the Delicious Gold Piece to maximize mobbing potential.
Thank you for your insightful discovery! I will try to fit it in as best I can.
UPDATE! I had to send the Mounts over to my Common Equips guide due to having an excess of 716 characters. The guides are up to date as of now.

Joe Biden's brother facing civil allegations of fraud, claims he 'traded on family name and hasn't repaid massive loan' – The Sun
March 9, 2020 World News
JOE Biden's brother has been accused of using his family name to fraudulently profit in his own business dealings — raising questions as the former vice president runs for president.
Biden's younger brother, James Biden, allegedly promised a large investment to Americore Health, a health care provider that acquires financially-distressed smaller local hospitals, from Middle Eastern backers.
Former American exec Tom Pritchard told Politico, which published a story on the accusations Monday: "It was all smoke and mirrors."
Pritchard said James Biden used his brother's status as a U.S. vice president to make the deals — but when company employees didn't receive money for their services, James Biden allegedly took a step back.
James Biden even reportedly convinced the company to take on a $650,000 personal loan that has not yet been repaid.
Before he received the loan, Pritchard claimed James Biden introduced Joe Biden to Grant White, Americore's founder.
The younger brother, Americore and White are now facing a lawsuit from medical companies accusing them of fraud over the alleged promises made.
White's home was raided by the FBI on January 29, according to court documents, and the next day, one of Americore's hospitals, Ellwood City Medical Center in Pennsylvania, was also raided.
Politico reports it's unclear what the purpose of the medical center raid was and said "there is no indication it was related to the actions of Biden's younger brother, who has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing."
Americore has faced its own legal problems unrelated to Joe Biden's brother.
In 2017 and 2018, James Biden apparently told potential partners that his last name could provide opportunities — and even allegedly said his older brother was excited about what their business dealings could mean for public policy.
An official for Joe Biden's campaign told Politico that Joe Biden never talked about Americore with James Biden or showed any support for the business.
In August 2019, Joe Biden said that in all his years in office, he never spoke to family members about their primary business dealings.
He promised "an absolute wall" between the government and his family's financial interests if he were elected president.
"I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. Period," Biden told reporters at the time.
Politico had reported earlier in 2019 that both James Biden and Joe Biden's son, Hunter, sometimes tried to leverage Joe Biden's political ties to attract investors for a hedge fund.
Pritchard said James Biden claimed: "He could get us in front of the unions. He could get us in front of certain people in government. He could get us in front of the right people."
The former Americore exec said when James Biden got his six-figure loan, he reduced his role with the firm.
"Jim needed to lay low because his brother was possibly running for president, and he didn't need any bad press," Pritchard told Politico.
Another former exec, who left Americore because of other business practice concerns and wanted to stay anonymous, said James Biden talked about how Joe Biden's campaign could help Americore.
"His brother was very interested in rural health care and very interested in veterans' health care, and it was something he really wanted to get behind," the former executive recalled James Biden as saying.
"This would help his brother get elected if it were to take off and go."
Both executives said James Biden allegedly claimed he could get an investment from Middle Eastern backers, but Pritchard said he never knew the source of the funds.
"That linkage was supposed to come via Jim Biden via whatever influence he had through his brother in the Middle East," the anonymous exec said.
Americore filed for bankruptcy in December.
David Smith, an attorney for James Biden, declined to comment on the allegations to Politico.

Announcement: Today marks our 2-year anniversary so to celebrate we are including 1 FREE Antenna & 2 FREE Amplifiers for EACH order placed today!
Studies show that 96 percent of T.V Antenna being sold on online that claim to be able to track over 200 Miles or 300 miles is simply lying to you. These antennae don't track more than 1 miles (if you're lucky).
We've designed one of the first and only T.V Antenna's that can penetrate through almost anything including walls, trees, you name it. This means you can get channels that you wouldn't be able to get with any other antenna due to our Ultra Wave Technology!
93% of the antennas you'll come across cannot penetrate through walls and obstacles of more than 1 mile (despite claiming to be able to so). The Raven Super Antenna uses a patent-pending technology called Ultra Wave which fixes this issue making it one of the only Antenna's available which can truly capture signals over 80 Miles!
With other antennas, you're limited to a few channels (if you're lucky). However, our antenna is able to capture 5 times more channels allowing you to cut down on your cable bill (or streaming services).
One thing you won't find in any other antenna is our Ultra Wave Technology which allows you to potentially get channels you would not be able to receive otherwise.
One common thing you will encounter with other antenna brands is "choppy signal". Our antenna doesn't have this problem so you'll be able to enjoy crystal clear channels due to our Smart IC technology.

Great Lakes Data gathered on new online platform
ByBlackburn News	 8 November 2021
By Janice MacKay November 8, 2021 3:15pm
People now have information about the health of the great lakes waterways right at their fingertips. Great Lakes DataStream is a new online platform which offers seven million points of water quality data from across Ontario and Quebec.
"From daily COVID-19 rates to water quality at the beach, we're seeing a global trend towards more data being made accessible to everyone", explained Carolyn DuBois, who heads Great Lakes DataStream. "Open data is powerful – it helps people make more informed choices."
Everything from water temperature and how it's changing over time. It can include data on nutrients. Nutrient runoff is often an issue and can lead to agae blooms. So there's lots of nutrient data on data stream. You'll find things like PH," she explained.
"Environmental challenges that affect fresh water include everything from development and some of the pressures that are put on water systems to climate change. It's really important to understand how our waters are adapting and reacting to some of these changes. And it can point to solutions to ensure that we can protect the water that we depend on," she said.
Because DataStream is open access, anyone, including scientists and policymakers, can explore the data while being confident in its integrity thanks to blockchain technology. Just last year, data accessed on DataStream helped fill gaps in the WWF Watershed Reports.
"Having the ability to dig in, and look, and try to understand water quality through data can be a very empowering experience," explains Larissa Holman of Ottawa Riverkeeper, one of many water monitoring groups to have shared their data on the platform. "The power of providing people with relevant information about their local waterway should never be undervalued. It can be an incredible way to motivate them to either protect or to improve it."
"Behind every data point is a person," says DuBois. "We work with community-based monitoring programs, Indigenous Nations, watershed groups, and all levels of government. We're excited to be working with passionate water champions from Thunder Bay to Montreal."
With Great Lakes DataStream joining existing data hubs in the Mackenzie River Basin, Atlantic Canada, and the Lake Winnipeg Basin, DataStream is Canada's largest independent water data platform – with data from 12 of Canada's provinces and territories.

Nation's traffic congestion shows need for transportation infrastructure investment, APTA leader says
A new report on the increasing amount of time commuters spend in their cars demonstrates the "urgent need" for federal investment in public transportation and the nation's roads, the American Public Transportation Association's (APTA) top executive said yesterday.
APTA President and Chief Executive Officer Michael Melaniphy said the new 2015 "Urban Mobility Scorecard" released yesterday by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute shows that traffic congestion caused drivers to be "stuck in their cars" for an extra 42 hours per commuter.
The report shows that investment in public transportation would help alleviate traffic congestion, save fuel and reduce commuting time, Melaniphy said in a prepared statement. He called on Congress to pass long-term surface transportation legislation that would fund improvements to public transit and roadways.
He also noted that a recent survey conducted by APTA and the Mineta Transportation Institute found that 75 percent of Americans surveyed supported using tax dollars to improve public transportation. Close to 70 percent said they agreed that Congress should increase federal funding of public transportation infrastructure.
"While other nations significantly invest in their transportation infrastructure, America now ranks 28th in infrastructure investment and continues to fall behind our global competitors," Melaniphy said. "While we continue to sit in traffic, one has to ask, is this really the best America can do?"
Increased investment and a combination of other strategies "is crucial to addressing our clogged and congested roadways," Melaniphy said.


Abercrombie Kids is challenging gender norms with their new Everybody Collection, a unisex line "for every kind of kid". The new 25-piece line is gender neutral and is available both online and in brick and mortar stores. The line features hoodies, long-sleeve T-Shirts, bomber jackets, and crew neck sweatshirts, in camouflage, pink and tie-dye effects. Kids from a variety of ages and genders are seen wearing the clothing on the site's website.
According to brand president of Abercrombie & Fitch and Abercrombie Kids, Stacia Anderson said, "Parents and their kids don't want to be confined to specific colors and styles, depending on whether shopping for a boy or a girl. Our Everybody Collection is one assortment, in one size run, that covers the trends we are seeing in both color and style." The line is due to be updated in the summer and back to school seasons and is expected to "become part of the ongoing assortment for kids," per Anderson.
While the clothes are not necessarily 'radical', the availability of gender-neutral clothing and advertising is quite revolutionary. H&M launched a unisex denim collection in March 2017 but didn't push for inclusivity beyond that and any progressive steps they may have taken then have been completely undone following their recent "Coolest Monkey In The Jungle" racial controversy. Target too has made some strides in the non-gender conforming trend by dropping "boy" and "girl" from their toy, home and entertainment aisles since 2015, but has plateaued since.

Q: How can I perform mathematical operation like cos and sin in Javascript or jQuery? I have a searchlocationNear function for which i pass geocoded data i need to calculate distance based on lattitude and longitude values but during the alert functions of distance it displays undefined is their any problem with my code.
function searchLocationsNear(center) {
     var radius = document.getElementById('radiusSelect').value;
     lat1=center.lat();
     alert(lat1);
     lng1=center.lng();
     alert(lng1);
     var distance1=( 3959 * acos( cos( radians(37) ) * cos( radians( lat ) ) * cos( radians( lng ) - radians(-122) ) + sin( radians(37) ) * sin( radians( lat ) ) ) ) ;
     alert(distance1);
     var searchUrl = 'example.xml';
     GDownloadUrl(searchUrl, function(data) {
       var xml = GXml.parse(data);
       var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('marker');
       map.clearOverlays();

       var sidebar = document.getElementById('sidebar');
       sidebar.innerHTML = '';
       if (markers.length == 0) {
         sidebar.innerHTML = 'No results found.';
         map.setCenter(new GLatLng(40, -100), 4);
         return;
       }

A: I don't think that code should display anything, since you're using variables that aren't defined. In JavaScript all the math functions are under the Math object. So use Math.sin et cetera.
Might also be worth checking if Google's Map library already contains something for calculating the distance between two points. It sounds like something they would definitely include.

A: Use the Math object: Math.sin() and Math.cos()

A: You could take a look at the Math object which contains among others trigonometric functions.

Equal Voice – A Campaign for America's Families
On September 6, 15,000 families gathered in Birmingham, Chicago and Los Angeles in a powerful national convening of Equal Voice for America's Families, a campaign of the Marguerite Casey Foundation in partnership with grantees and others to shift attitudes and policies affecting poor and working-class families.
The three cities were linked via satellite, and the program for the day included keynote speakers, testimonies from families across the country, and 15,000 people in simultaneous small-group strategy discussions, 10 people at a time. Another 6,000 people watched the convention online.
Leading up to the convention, thousands of families participated in over 60 town meetings from large cities to rural areas to share their hopes and develop a national family platform that included two core beliefs:
No family should live in poverty.
Families should have an equal voice in shaping policies and the future of their communities.
Specific issues addressed in the platform include employment/job training, healthcare, housing, immigration reform, education, and the creation of safe and thriving communities.
The goal of the campaign is the adoption of the national family platform by the next president and Congress in order to effectively address the social and economic needs of poor and working families.
Highlander is a grantee of Marguerite Casey Foundation, and staff members Pam McMichael and Elandria Williams were among the small-group facilitators in Birmingham. For more information about the Equal Voice for America's Families campaign, go to http://www.equalvoice2008.org.

FGHL Blog: Rebecca Pfaff - Hospital Rounds and Clinic Visits: Riobamba, Ecuador
My first week here in Riobamba, Ecuador has been fantastic. In the mornings I attend rounds in the pediatric hospital with residents and attendings. Rounds are a lot like in Nashville except that x-rays are read by holding films up to the light and, of course, everything is in Spanish. Also, an epidemiologist joins us, and sometimes a dentist, though they rarely contribute to the discussion. It is amazing what an international language medicine is. Even with my limited Spanish skills I can follow, and occasionally contribute to, rounds with relative ease.

How the Supreme Court's 'ObamaCare' ruling will affect you
The nation's highest court is about to judge the president's signature legislative achievement — and it's not just politicians who are invested in the outcome
MARCH 13, 2012, AT 6:45 AM
by Bill Frist, MD
Is the new health care law constitutional? You might think it doesn't matter — or at least, that it doesn't matter to you. But the fact is, the Supreme Court's decision on President Obama's Affordable Care Act (ACA) will almost certainly affect you directly.
How, exactly? For one thing, the court's decision could play a key role in determining our next president and possibly your next congressman. If you are poor, the ruling may decide whether or not you have coverage. If you are not poor, it will impact how much you pay for health care. If you own a small business, it might determine if you must purchase health insurance for your employees. And if you work for a large business, it may determine whether you still receive your insurance from your employer. If you're a doctor, it will likely affect your reimbursement. If you're a patient, it will determine your benefits.
On March 26, 27, and 28, the Supreme Court will hear extensive oral arguments on the constitutionality of the ACA. This is the culmination of 26 states filing suits in federal district courts and opinions from seven federal appellate courts. A final written opinion likely will be delivered in June, 18 months before the individual mandate kicks in and just five months before the presidential election.
If the individual mandate is ultimately deemed constitutional, then for the first time in our history, you will have to purchase a product to live in America.
The ACA is a highly charged law that, according to the latest RealClearPolitics average, is viewed unfavorably by half of Americans. The law essentially does two massive, controversial things: (1) Mandates that individuals purchase health insurance coverage, and (2) expands Medicaid by 16 million enrollees. This expansion means almost one in four Americans will be on Medicaid, the government program originally intended for our poorest citizens. If you don't purchase insurance, you will pay a fine of $695 per adult and $347 per child.
Together, these provisions will reduce the uninsured by 32 million, but will still leave an estimated 23 million individuals uninsured in 2020.
The focus of the Supreme Court opinion will be on the constitutionality of these two issues, though two additional items will also be considered. One is whether the entire law falls if a part of it, such as the mandate, is ruled unconstitutional, and the other is whether the court has jurisdiction to rule at all now, since the law has yet to go fully into effect.
There is already plenty of discussion on the legal merits of the case, particularly as it regards the taxing power and the Commerce Clause. But what are the very real implications of the upcoming ruling? Here is what to look for:
1. If the court upholds the individual mandate, it will take effect 18 months later — unless Congress acts to repeal or postpone it (which won't happen as long as Obama is in the White House). If the individual mandate is ultimately deemed constitutional, then for the first time in our history, you will have to purchase a product to live in America.
2. If the individual mandate is ruled unconstitutional, the court will then decide whether to let the rest of the law stand, including the expansion of Medicaid and the largely popular individual insurance reforms. If the rest is left intact, the Congressional Budget Office projects that 16 million of the 32 million Americans expected to gain insurance under the law would be ineligible for the new coverage and that non-group, individual premiums might increase 15 to 20 percent. It would then be up to each state to decide whether or not to adopt the individual mandate.
3. If the court decides that the Medicaid expansion is constitutional, it will take effect in 2014 — unless Congress acts to postpone, repeal, or not fund it. But if the expansion is left intact, with almost a quarter of all Americans covered by Medicaid, the program would grow to include a portion of the middle class.
4. If Medicaid expansion is overruled, coverage will remain at current, varying state levels, and an estimated 16 million low-income individuals will not be able to take advantage of the new Medicaid coverage that would have begun in 2014.
5. Politically, if the new law is judged constitutional, Democrats will celebrate the judicial affirmation of the spirit and substance of the historic reform, illustrating President Obama's leadership. Republicans would fan the existing flames of unpopularity among the majority of Americans, citing federal government overreach, rallying around an election call for repeal as they did in 2010. If any part is unconstitutional, the bases of both parties will be emboldened to make health reform the defining issue, after the economy, in the elections in November.
This one is worth following. It will be a game-changer. And not just for the politicians and pundits in Washington. It's a game-changer for you, too.

FGHL Blog: Ifeoma Ozodiegwu - Unfortunate Delays: Military Arms Depot Fire in the Congo
Over the past two weeks, I have continued to work on the research paper on the status of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) supply strategies in the African Region as reported by the Parties to the Convention. My plans to have the first event of the employee community service program in March have been stalled. We also had an unfortunate incident in Brazzaville on the 5th of March. A fire started at a military arms depot and set off a series of explosions killing more than 150 people and leaving thousands displaced. This sad event was felt at the office as many workers lost their homes. As a result, things were a bit slow at the office this week. The event has been postponed to April to allow time for things to settle back down.
3 Ways to Fix America's Childhood Poverty Problem
By Bill Frist
Americans hear a lot about decline. Declines in manufacturing, fading productivity, plummeting home values, spiraling deficits, and sadly, dwindling faith in the American dream.
Let me tell you where I see the worst decline — but also our nation's best hope.
One in five kids in America lives in poverty. That's 20 percent of America's future left behind. Left to drop out of high school, suffer through shorter lives, commit crimes, have a child in their teens — and then perpetuate this cycle with their own children.
It doesn't have to be like this. Imagine an America with 20 percent fewer high school dropouts, 20 percent fewer teen pregnancies, and a 20 percent reduction in chronic health problems like diabetes and hypertension. Picture an America with a workforce that is 20 percent more productive and packed with 20 percent more qualified job applicants. Dream of an America with 20 percent more middle-class citizens. We would be a country poised to soar.
So how do we get there?
The fastest route out of poverty lies with education. With better education, kids live longer, earn more, wait longer to have a child, and are less likely to commit a crime. More importantly, these benefits pass on to their children, snapping the cruel cycle of poverty.
Poverty, especially during formative early years, can be an enormous hurdle for a child's development. At U.S. schools where less than 10 percent of the student body is impoverished, reading scores rank first in the world. Yet these same scores for U.S. schools where 75 percent or more of the student body is impoverished rank 45th.
In a country with a failing K-12 school system, is it really possible to improve education for impoverished children? Yes, and here are three ways: Providing a boost for kids, lending a hand to parents, and pulling together crumbling neighborhoods.
First, we must start young, much younger than you might think. Most poor children are already behind on their first day of school. At age 4, poor children are 18 months behind developmentally, and without access to early education, kids are 25 percent more likely to drop out of high school.
Communities must target vigorous pre-K education and daycare programs for the one in five kids whose parents simply can't afford them. Soft skills such as sharing, negotiation, reason, and concentration are instilled between finger-painting and building with blocks. The critical ingredient of high expectations is introduced. These are not luxury goods. They are essential in making communities more prosperous. When states think about job training, they should begin with pre-K education.
Second, a renewed focus on parents can be the lever to pry kids from a life of poverty. For example, Nashville's Martha O'Bryan Center provides the education and resources needed for parents to raise healthy families. Parents learn positive parenting skills, tools for making their children better learners, and smart exercise and nutrition strategies to keep kids healthy. These lessons, as simple as immunization and reading to kids at night, can also delve into more substantive issues like child maturation and brain development.
Parents learn that their role is not just to put food on the table, but to act as their child's first teacher, role model, and advocate.
In addition, an educated parent is more likely to elevate a child from poverty. A parent who earns a GED provides for his or her family better, giving kids that extra boost that can make all the difference. Learning soft skills and simple trades, such as basic culinary training, can help a parent get that first job, propelling the family to a brighter future.
Third, communities play a role. Last year, Nashville began an innovative strategy providing "cradle-to-career" services to 6,000 children in one of the city's most challenging neighborhoods. The Nashville Promise Neighborhood, modeled after the successful Harlem Children's Zone, is a public-private partnership uniting government agencies, nonprofits, schools, churches, and neighbors to provide continuous, coordinated health and education support.
Instead of uncoordinated institutions attacking different problems in piecemeal fashion, the most pressing needs are attacked with proven solutions. A dependable support network is built for all residents, including early education, expanded access to learning technologies, and family support including day care. Make no mistake, this is an ambitious program and requires total buy-in, but by pulling together, entire communities can pull themselves up.
To get America back on track, we must help those who have fallen behind. Only with our nation's full strength and commitment can we tackle the trends that drag us down.

In my third week at Karapitiya Hospital I was introduced to Dr. Kumara, senior lecturer in Surgery. Participating in various surgical cases was what I was most looking forward to on my rotation in Sri Lanka. Walking into the OT I noticed it was quite a different set up from the operating rooms back in the states. Patients were lined up on a bench right outside of the open theater doors with their medical chart in hand.
FGHL Blog: Tracy Curtis - Inside and Outside the Hospital: Operating Theatre and Orphanage in Sri Lanka
In my third week at Karapitiya Hospital I was introduced to Dr. Kumara, senior lecturer in Surgery. Participating in various surgical cases was what I was most looking forward to on my rotation in Sri Lanka. Walking into the OT I noticed it was quite a different set up from the operating rooms back in the states. Patients were lined up on a bench right outside of the open theater doors with their medical chart in hand. Some patients were even curious enough to stand and watch the ongoing procedures from the doorway. On the other side of the patient bench was a make-shift PACU where the post-operative patients were still coming out of their anesthesia. Inside the operating theater, there were multiple procedures going on at the same time. In one corner of the room, a woman was having a lumpectomy under local anesthesia. In the center of the room, a man was under general anesthesia having an open cholecystectomy. Finally, off to the side of the room a woman was getting a carpal tunnel release.
FGHL Blog: Holly Stump - Mahamodara Maternity Hospital: A Place of Hope
I wasn't sure what to expect when I arrived at Mahamodara Maternity Hospital. The tuk tuk dropped us off outside of what appeared to be fortress walls. We were met by our Duke coordinator and led through the gate, past a building that was in disrepair and dilapidated. We traversed through a labyrinth of crumbling plaster and boarded up windows. There was a smell of mildew lingering in the air. I thought to myself, "Women come here to give birth"? Once we rounded a corner, I noticed an area to my right which looked as if it should have been full of expectant women, but was eerily vacant. It was then I realized what I was seeing was the shell of the Mahamodara which stood during the 2004 tsunami. I stared into the ward, and could imagine this area full of pregnant women and newborns on that day, and could almost feel their terror. I was told the hospital was hit by 3 waves. The first wave destroyed the "fortress" walls that I had seen earlier, but these barriers had lessened the impact to the building. It flooded the first level and knocked out the electricity. The doctors and staff evacuated the mothers and infants, some to higher ground, and others to Karapitiya Hospital. The second wave was estimated between 20-30 feet high. There are many stories of heroic men and women from that day, including one physician who calmly completed a Cesarean section by flashlight after the first wave hit. He then safely evacuated the mother and child. Due to lack of funds to demolish the building, it now stands as a temporary memorial.

During our normal daily browsing, many information regarding what we do is stored locally on our PC, some of them are automatically shared with various websites that we visit and many are sent to our Internet service provider (ISP).
The incognito browsing option or anonymous browsing is now present in all browsers but in reality does not allow us to surf in a totally anonymous way.
This option does not hide our IP address and allows the websites that we visit to obtain information about the origin of the connection, the operating system used and also the installed browser version.
The value of incognito browsing is that of not leaving traces of navigation just carried out on our PC (history of the pages visited, cookies, passwords or completed forms, etc.).
For a true navigation anonymously you need to be able to often hide or change your IP address so as not to be easily traceable, in addition to encrypt the data traffic we generate so that even if it was intercepted it would be difficult to decipher and to read.
To hide and frequently change our IP address there is a suitable browser to use for navigation, the browser we recommend is Tor Browser (available for all PC platforms).
It is a modified version of Mozilla's browser and allows you to surf completely anonymous because it automatically makes a connection to the TOR network ( The Onion Router ).
In this network, data traffic does not travel in a traditional way directly from client to server and vice versa, but is transmitted through a more complex and encrypted virtual circuit made up of a multitude of Onion Routers.
Each Onion Router is a node of the Tor network and is made available by trusted volunteers who donate part of their band for free to users of this network, so they can surf anonymously.
The communication protocol used by the Tor network has been specifically developed to guarantee the secrecy of the data conveyed, their integrity and the control of network congestion.
These features are ensured by the fact that the Tor network does not in any way put the user in direct communication with the final destination of the request.
The data packets through the network consisting of Onion Router at random and dynamic, these routers also erase all traces of the package that has crossed them at the same time ignoring the source and the final destination of those packets.
So let's see how to install and use Tor Browser.
By going to the download page through this link we can choose the version most suited to our operating system, choose the correct language from the drop-down menu and start downloading the file by clicking on the purple button with the word DOWNLOAD.
In the case of Windows, the download will allow us to obtain a .exe file that we can install by double clicking. At the start of the installation we will ask the language to be used and the path in which to save the browser files (the desktop of our user by default).
This browser is in fact portable and does not require a real installation, but the process consists in extracting the files needed for operation in a destination path, by default the desktop.
Once the extraction is complete we will be asked if we want to start the browser immediately and if we want to add a shortcut to that browser in start (operations that can be done also afterwards).
In the Browser folder, there are all the files necessary for the browser to work properly and are not to be changed unless you know what you are doing. To start surfing anonymously on the internet, just double-click on Start Tor Browser.
For most users it is sufficient to click on connect to make the connection to the Tor network in a few seconds and start surfing anonymously. For the most demanding there is the configure option that allows you to change some connection options depending on your Internet service provider (ISP), which could in some cases prevent the connection to the Tor network or in case you use a proxy server for the connection.
In any case, for more information about the most advanced browser options we suggest referring to the support page on the Torproject.org website.
If you have not had any problems or errors when connecting to the first start of the browser you can safely start surfing in total anonymity without leaving traces on your PC or informing your ISP of all the pages you visit.
Do not download files through the Tor Browser: for the download of the files, the connection is changed and becomes direct as in the normal operation of the network, thus making visible your IP address.
Use HTTPS verification of sites: it imposes stronger encryption on our traffic, preventing it from being easily seen by anyone.
Do not enable or install other browser plug-ins: plug-ins such as Flash, RealPlayer etc. they can easily reveal the IP address of our connection.
In any case, Tor Browser will show suggestions to follow during navigation that will prevent us from leaving anonymity.
The growing use of mobile devices for internet connection has led to the development of specific applications to allow users to remain anonymous on the Internet in case the connection is made through mobile devices.
For Android the free Orbot Browser is available, while for iOS the reference browser for a completely anonymous browsing is Onion Browser. Both browsers rely on the Tor network and function exactly like Tor Browser.


Mine district exploration continued in the fourth quarter 2014 on targets at Sepon, Golden Grove and Rosebery, Kinsevere and Las Bambas.
Progress has also been made on exploration on tenements within a 50km radius of Kinsevere's current mining operations. Las Bambas commenced its exploration campaign in December with an initial strategy of building an exploration team and initiating technical studies to increase ore body knowledge and develop an exploration plan for 2015.
New discovery exploration programs focused on copper, zinc and nickel targets in Australia and the Americas, as well as copper and nickel in Southern Africa.
For the latest Exploration updates refer to our Quarterly Reports page.

If there's no sound coming from the bottom speaker – you might think it's a device fault that'll need fixing by an expert. But the good news is that it seems to be a common problem on One M8 handsets – and there could be an easy answer.
What's the problem with HTC One M8 audio?
It seems that Chrome forces your device to use the 'in-call' volume rather than the 'media' volume, making it seem like your device isn't actually playing any sound.
1. Open Chrome and close the tab that contains the embedded media. You can also do that by going to Chrome > Settings menu (3 vertical dots) > Close all tabs.
2. Tap the Recent Apps button (right of the Home button) and swipe up on the Chrome process to end it.
After performing the workaround, the volume adjustment function will switch back to 'media' after approximately 5 seconds.
Google should also have released a new version of its Chrome browser that fixes this issue, so check on the Google Play Store to see if you have an update available to install. Once you've done that – the problem should be sorted.
Hopefully that's you sorted, but if you're still having problems, you can get in touch with an expert from Team Knowhow here.

Proud Boys go to trial on sedition as Jan. 6 probe heats up
By ALANNA DURKIN RICHER and MICHAEL KUNZELMAN The Associated Press

The seditious conspiracy trial of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four lieutenants is coming at a pivotal time for Justice Department's investigation and prosecution of the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection. (AP Photo/Allison Dinner, File)[ASSOCIATED PRESS/Allison Dinner]
WASHINGTON (AP) — As members of the Proud Boys extremist group stormed past police lines and swarmed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, their leader cheered them on from afar, prosecutors say. "Do what must be done," Enrique Tarrio wrote on social media. "So what do we do now?" someone asked later that day in a Proud Boys encrypted group chat.
"Do it again," Tarrio responded.
Almost two years later, Tarrio's words are at the center of the Justice Department's seditious conspiracy case against the former Proud Boys national chairman. Prosecutors in his trial in Washington are trying to build on their recent courtroom victory against leaders of another far-right extremist group, the Oath Keepers.
Tarrio, who led the neofacist group as it became a force in mainstream Republican circles, is perhaps the highest-profile defendant yet to stand trial for charges stemming from the insurrection. Tarrio and four lieutenants face up to 20 years in prison if convicted of seditious conspiracy. Jury selection is underway and opening statements could begin later this week.
The trial comes at a pivotal time in the Justice Department's wide-ranging Jan. 6 investigation. Key aspects are now overseen by special counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. Smith has issued a number of subpoenas in recent weeks to state election officials, seeking their communications with Donald Trump and others involved the then-president's efforts to overturn his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
The House committee that investigated the Capitol riot urged the department to bring criminal charges against Trump. While the referrals carry no legal weight, the recommendation could increase public pressure on the department to prosecute Trump, who called on supporters to "fight like hell" before the siege that halted congressional certification of Biden's victory.
The department is buoyed by the recent sedition guilty plea of a close Tarrio associate, who could provide potentially damning testimony under a cooperation deal, and the convictions in November of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and the head of the anti-government group's Florida chapter.
In Tarrio's case, prosecutors are hoping to convince jurors that they should convict him of overseeing a violent plot to stop the transfer of presidential power even though he was not in Washington on Jan. 6. Tarrio had been arrested in a separate case days earlier.
Tarrio's lawyers say he did not instruct or encourage anyone to go into the Capitol. Their defense may focus on communications they say show Tarrio was informing law enforcement in the run-up to Jan. 6 of the Proud Boys' plans to protest the results of the election and party that night with — as they wrote in court papers — "plenty of beer and babes."
The trial will put a spotlight on the Proud Boys, which remains an influential force in right-wing circles even with many of its top leaders behind bars. Trump energized the group and elevated its profile when he infamously told the Proud Boys to " stand back and stand by " during a 2020 debate with Biden.
While there were signs the Oath Keepers were in disarray even before Rhodes' conviction, the Proud Boys have proved more resilient.
Proud Boys members have reveled in street violence since the group's inception, typically clashing with anti-fascist activists at rallies. Tarrio initially called on members to stand down after Jan. 6 and refrain from holding public events. Instead, local Proud Boys chapters found new targets to menace.
Proud Boys have recently disrupted story telling sessions by drag performers and other LGBTQ events. Members have showed up at school board meetings and other local government forums, often to protest COVID-19 masking requirements. They joined anti-abortion protests surrounding the Supreme Court's landmark ruling overturning Roe vs. Wade last year.
The autonomy afforded local Proud Boys chapters has helped the group weather the loss of its leaders better than the Oath Keepers have, said Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington University's Program on Extremism. Lewis, who has written about the Proud Boys' violent evolution, said securing a conviction of Tarrio and his lieutenants would not cripple the group or prevent local chapters from organizing.
Tarrio's co-defendants are Ethan Nordean of Auburn, Washington, who was a Proud Boys chapter president; Joseph Biggs of Ormond Beach, Florida, a self-described Proud Boys organizer; Zachary Rehl, who president of the Proud Boys chapter in Philadelphia; and Dominic Pezzola, a Proud Boy member from Rochester, New York.
The jury's mixed verdict in the Oath Keepers case shows the challenge prosecutors face in proving the rarely used seditious conspiracy charge. While Rhodes and Oath Keeper Kelly Meggs were found guilty of sedition, three co-defendants were acquitted of the charge. All five were convicted of serious felonies, but it was the first time jurors had acquitted any Jan. 6 defendants of a crime.
It came after defense lawyers spent weeks hammering prosecutors for their lack of evidence that the Oath Keepers had a specific plan to attack the Capitol before Jan. 6.
In the Proud Boys case, however, prosecutors say they have communications showing that members did discuss storming the Capitol before Jan. 6.
A week before the riot, prosecutors say Tarrio received a document with the title "1776 Returns" from an acquaintance that laid out plans for occupying certain government buildings in Washington on Jan. 6. The document made no mention of the Capitol itself. But days later, Proud Boys were focusing their attention there, prosecutors allege.
"Time to stack those bodies in front of Capitol Hill," one extremist wrote in a secured chat. "What would they do (if) 1 million patriots stormed and took the capital building. Shoot into the crowd? I think not," wrote another member. "They would do nothing because they can do nothing," someone responded.
Days before the riot, someone suggested in a voice note to the Proud Boys group that the "main operating theater" should be in front of the Capitol. "I didn't hear this voice note until now, you want to storm the Capitol," Tarrio said later in the same chat.
Tarrio was arrested on Jan. 4, 2021, after he arrived in Washington. He was charged with burning a Black Lives Matter banner from a historic Black church and possessing high-capacity firearm magazines. Law enforcement later said Tarrio was picked up in part to help quell potential violence after earlier demonstrations in Washington supporting Trump's baseless claims of fraud led to stabbings and arrests. The day before the riot, a judge ordered Tarrio to stay out of Washington.
But instead of leaving right away, prosecutors say Tarrio met for about 30 minutes with Rhodes and others in an underground parking garage. Authorities have said someone at the meeting referenced the Capitol; little else is publicly known about what was discussed.
Even after leaving Washington, Tarrio continued to exercise command over the Proud Boys on the ground on Jan. 6, prosecutors say.
His lieutenants were part of the first wave of rioters to push onto the Capitol grounds and charge past police barricades toward the building, according to prosecutors. Pezzola used a riot shield he stole from a Capitol Police officer to break a window, allowing the first rioters to enter the building, prosecutors allege.
"Don't (expletive) leave," Tarrio wrote on social media after several Proud Boys were already inside. Moments later he wrote: "Proud Of My Boys and my country."

Family's terror as house and car petrol bombed as they slept
Councillor Graeme Campbell said his attacker was trying to kill him due to his work.
Graeme Campbell: The Tory was in his house with his family. STV News
By STV News
A councillor has spoken of his family's terror after their house and car were petrol bombed during the night.
Councillor Graeme Campbell, who represents Avondale and Stonehouse in Strathaven, South Lanarkshire, said his attacker was trying to kill him because of his work as a politician.
Cllr Campbell, his wife Fiona and 18-year-old son were asleep when the car and house in Fortrose Gardens went up in flames at 1.15am on Monday.
The family were woken when a passer-by knocked on their door to tell him their car was on fire after an explosion.
The blaze later spread to the house, destroying parts of the property as well as their neighbour's home.
Cllr Campbell told STV News: "I heard a bang and it woke me up then my wife heard someone knocking on my door but I told her not to open it.
"I then went down and the person said my car was on fire and the car was just an inferno.
"The fire has spread to the front of the house. The front of the garage has gone. The next door neighbour's house has also taken some damage.
"I'm just devastated by this."
The Tory councillor, who was elected to council in 2007 and then again in 2017, believes someone was trying to murder him because of his work.
He said: "This was deliberate. This will cost tens of thousands to repair. There's a lot of damage and we are waiting for the assessors now.
"It's shocking someone is trying to murder us.
"When someone bombs your car you know someone is basically trying to kill you.
"Another 15 minutes and we would have been dead if we hadn't got the fire brigade, who were incredible.
"I'm totally disgusted because it could only have come from my work as a councillor."
A joint police and fire investigation is now being carried out.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said: "At around 1.25am on Monday, police were called to a report of a car on fire outside a property in Fortrose Gardens, Strathaven.
"Emergency services attended and fire had caused extensive damage to the car, as well as another vehicle in the driveway and the garage.
"The incident is being treated as wilful and enquiries are ongoing."
A Scottish Fire and Rescue Service spokeswoman added: "We sent two appliances after a car was found on fire outside the house. We left the scene at 3.15am."

This double relay works on the TIPM-7 fuse box shown above.
If your 2007-2016 Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler/VW vehicle experiences problems with door lock functionality, front wipers on/off, front wipers high/low speed, front washer fluid, rear washer fluid, or rear wipers, it's likely a failure with the 10-pin NEC/Tokin double relay that is soldered to one of six circuit boards deep inside the TIPM. Replacement double relays shown on this page (NEC/Tokin #EX2-2U1S) have been utilized by our team for all TIPM repairs since 2014.
If you're the kind of person who loves to tackle tough projects like this, keep in mind that repairing your TIPM using one of these relays is no small task. Just getting the TIPM apart can be enough for many to throw in the towel. We recommend that you have soldering experience, especially under a microscope on circuit boards. You'll also need to fully disassemble the TIPM, which many have tried and failed to do without damage. If you'd rather have us replace your relays, please visit our TIPM Repairs page.
For single relay replacements (fuel pump, horn, backup lights), use the 5-pin NEC/Tokin #EX1-2U1S.
To verify that this relay will fit your vehicle, please check the chart below. If you don't know the vehicle year/model or you'd like to confirm the TIPM style this relay applies to, make sure your TIPM looks similar to the following: TIPM-7 fuse box. It's normal to have fuses and relays in different locations on this style TIPM, depending on your vehicle options and model.


Welcome back to another edition of the How to Python series. This time I want to sum elements of two lists in Python. I got the inspiration for this topic while trying to do just this at work the other day. Let's see how it goes!
Recently, I ran into a problem where a library wasn't working exactly how I wanted, so I had to hack together the results to make my life a bit easier. In this scenario, I had a connection library which I was using to list all the available devices. However, the list functionality short circuited for certain types of connections, so it never actually listed everything. As a result, I was forced to run the function twice: once for USB and again for Ethernet.
Naturally, I wanted to be able to merge the two lists back into what I was expecting initially. However, I wasn't totally sure how I was going to do that. So, let's take a look at some possible solutions.
Feel free to jump straight to the solution for you or browse as long as you need.
Now, that solution is hardly elegant, but it gets the job done. However, there has to be a better way. After all, we are already taking advantage of the fact that lists can be merged using the same operator as addition. Why not take advantage of this property in a loop?
That said, you may find it useful for merging two lists of strictly integers.
However, numpy is a massive library. We should probably stick with our list comprehensions.
Using the handful of methods above, we should be able to sum elements of two lists.
As we can see, there are a lot of ways to run an element-wise sum of two lists. Take your pick.

Rich Hill Stud's new signing Proisir has arrived at Rich Hill Stud and is available for inspection.
Appearances don't lie and the striking son of the internationally-successful Choisir compiled an impressive race record to the highest level. With a pedigree to match, he is an exciting addition to New Zealand's stallion ranks.
"He is a beautifully balanced horse with a lovely fluent walk," Rich Hill studmaster John Thompson said.
"He has strength and quality and should sire a lovely line of foals."
His sire Choisir emphasised his stallion influence in Australia last Saturday where he produced seven individual winners, including three new stakeswinners with Worthy Cause sucessful at Group Three level at the Gold Coast and I've Got The Looks and Japhils claimed takes races.
To top it off, Sir Moments finished runner-up in the Gr 2 Hollindale Stakes.
Proisir is regarded as one of Choisir's most talented offspring. In a brief career of just seven starts, he won 3 races and was second in two Group Ones events behind the champion galloper Dundeel.

I highly recommend! I felt right at home. Leslie was very friendly and the space has tons of character. Nice quiet area and not far from the French Quarter.
What an awesome first experience with Airbnb! Michael was a great host, very welcoming and accommodating; he made our trip to the Big Easy a breeze! The space is exactly as Michael describes and was a perfect size for myself and my girlfriend. The location is very quiet, steps from Frenchman, and a short walk to the Quarter. He provides directions for a great walking tour to get you acquainted with the area. We didn't drive, and we felt very safe on all of our walks to and from the neighborhood. I don't think we could have picked a better location. Definitely recommend this place and we will probably stay there again on another trip to NOLA!

Six of the best Man United great escapes with video highlights
Chris Mendes
28th September 2011, 3:07 pm
Updated: 28th September 2011, 6:13 pm
Ashley Young's late header salvaged a point for Man United against FC Basel
The only semi-surprising thing about Man United's last gasp leveller against FC Basel was the Red Devil's failure to grab a winner during injury time.
Alex Ferguson's teams have long been known for great escapes and we've decided to relive six of the best.
MAN UNITED 2-1 BAYERN MUNICH: CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL, 26 MAY 1999
Substitutes Teddy Sheringham and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer both scored in added time to pull Man United from 1-0 down right at the death in the most dramatic of endings to swing the biggest club game in European football in Man United's favour. Bayern had led from the sixth minute but Alex Ferguson's side dug in and added the Champions League trophy to the FA Cup and Premier League as they completed a very famous treble.
MAN UNITED 3-1 MAN CITY: LEAGUE CUP SEMI FINAL SECOND LEG, 27 JANUARY 2010
Two goals from former United striker Carlos Tevez had given City a 2-1 first leg lead heading into the Old Trafford clash and he looked to have salvaged a reprieve for the Citizens when he scored to make it 2-1 on the night and 3-3 on aggregate after Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick had earlier put the home side in front. Extra-time beckoned, however, Wayne Rooney left the travelling support stunned two minutes into added time as he headed in a Ryan Giggs cross. The club then went on to beat Aston Villa 2-1 in the final.
MAN UNITED 2-1 MAN CITY: PREMIER LEAGUE, 12 FEBRUARY 2011
With 12 minutes to play, things appeared to be heading for a draw as neither side managed to carve out any meaningful openings after David Silva cancelled out Nani's earlier goal. Up stepped Wayne Rooney, who leapt into the air with his back to goal and met a Nani cross on the edge of City's area. The England forward's acrobatic overhead kick sailed past Joe Hart into the top right hand corner and helped maintain United's four-point gap over Arsenal at the summit of the Premier League. A truly great, if not so late, escape.
MAN UNITED 2-1 Liverpool: FA CUP FOURTH ROUND, 24 JANUARY 1999
United fans shouldn't have been too surprised by the heroics against Bayern after watching their team score twice in the final two minutes to overcome Liverpool as they marched towards FA Cup glory. Dwight Yorke cancelled Michael Owen's third minute opener on 88 minutes and it was Ole Gunner Solskjaer, of course, with the all important winner that got Old Trafford rocking and Alex Ferguson jumping up and down like a little kid.
LIVERPOOL 0-1 MAN UNITED: PREMIER LEAGUE, 3 MARCH 2007
Chelsea were chasing a third straight Premier League crown under Jose Mourinho but trailed United in second place so when Paul Scholes received his marching orders with three minutes remaining at Anfield, the 'Special One' must have been rubbing his hands with glee at the prospect of gaining important ground on Sir Alex. So he must have been cursing defender John O'Shea, who pounced on a mistake by Pepe Reina in the 90th minute. The goalscorer later revealed: "The winner in the 90th minute at Anfield in front of the Kop, Gary Neville has told me that it's his dream and I have just gone and done it." Reds fans will have loved that quote.
MAN UNITED 1-1 OLDHAM: FA CUP SEMI-FINAL, 9 APRIL 1994
United's journey to their first League and Cup double was far from straight forward and it looked as though Fergie's FA Cup hopes had been dashed in the semi-final. That was until a late Mark Hughes volley forced a replay where Joe Royle's Latics were tonked 4-1 three days later. Sparky scored again in the final as the club brushed off the challenge of Chelsea, thrashing them 4-0 to lift the trophy for the first time in four years.
What's your favourite ever Man United great escape? Let us know by leaving a comment below…

Local independent retailer Sewell on the go has re-opened its fuel and convenience store located on Maybury Road, East Hull, following a significant renovation.
The improvement works have been carried out as part of a multi-million pound investment into the retailer's estate, to improve its offer for customers. Works have also recently begun at the company's South Cave service station along the A63 Westbound.
"Buying habits continue to evolve. Customers have moved away from the monthly 'big shop' concept and are keen to convenience shop, grabbing lunch as they fill up their car and picking up dinner as they pass on the way home from work.
"To remain relevant we have to continually evolve and make sure that our offer meets our customers' needs and current buying habits. The Maybury store was designed 20 years ago and this renovation has transformed the retail space, we now have three times the space and three times the product lines.
Work on site was carried out by Sewell on the go's sister company, Sewell Construction.

Pitch perfect: Lidl to close stores early if (when) England go through to the final
Published on 11/07/2018 by Andrew Sykes in Retail News, Retailer News
Lidl UK has today promised to adjust its store opening hours, should England reach the World Cup Final on Sunday 15 July.
In a show of support for the team, Lidl stores across England will open early at 9.30am for browsing, and close an hour before kick-off at 3pm, giving customers more time to stock up on essentials before the big game begins.
Christian Härtnagel, the CEO of Lidl UK said: "As the official supermarket of the England Football team, we absolutely believe it's coming home, which is why we are planning to close stores an hour early, and take part in what we hope will become a day of national celebration."
Lidl is feeling the effects of World Cup fever after experiencing its highest ever footfall during the tournament, as football fans flock to its stores for supplies. As the nation gets set to celebrate, with both the World Cup and Wimbledon finals, and more warm weather on the way, the supermarket is preparing for another bumper weekend.
Lidl became the official supermarket of the England Football team in 2015 as well as the official supplier of water, fruit and vegetables.
