Here Is the NFL Schedule That Could Be Upended by the Pandemic
Super Bowl champion Chiefs to open season against the Texans — but will there be spectators to watch?

The NFL released its 2020 schedule on Thursday, which came with a massive asterisk due to the uncertainty surrounding live sports amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs will tentatively kick off the season on Thursday, Sept. 10, against the Houston Texans. Other games of note include the unveiling of the new, glitzy SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles (well, Inglewood), which will play host to the Rams and the Chargers. The Rams get the inaugural game, where they will host the Dallas Cowboys in the first "Sunday Night Football" matchup on Sept. 13.
The newly-christened Las Vegas Raiders will begin their tenure in Sin City against the Carolina Panthers, with their first home game in their new city set for "Monday Night Football" on Sept. 21. Tom Brady's first game as a Tampa Bay Buccaneer will come against Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome, with his homecoming a week later against the Panthers.

But the question hanging over the schedule is just how many, if any, games will actually be played. And if they are played, will spectators be allowed to watch?
U.S. sports have all been benched since mid-March given the spread of COVID-19, which has shuttered every major gathering of people for the foreseeable future. March Madness was canceled and the MLB and NHL suspended their seasons. It's uncertain when, or if, any of those leagues will be able to resume play.
But the NFL, which is in the middle of its offseason, has gone ahead business as usual. Free agency and the draft were held, though the draft was done virtually, with picks being announced from NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's basement. The league canceled its planned international games this year, unsure of when global travel will be safe (the United Kingdom, where the NFL had scheduled three games this season, has been hit pretty hard by the virus).
Some sports, like NASCAR and UFC, are attempting to resume operations, albeit without fans in attendance. Around the world, South Korea's KBO League began its season this week, and Germany's Bundesliga soccer league received clearance to return to the field on May 15. Both are in front of empty stadiums.
17 Chill Video Games for Your Coronavirus Quarantine
With the coronavirus pandemic killing so many people and creating tons of stress for everyone who has a soul, I've been turning to video games a lot lately. When I'm all frazzled and unable to sit still long enough for a movie or TV show, games require more focus and thus often work better at keeping me chill. So here's a list of games that are great for relaxing with while you're stuck at home for the foreseeable future.
"Euro Truck Simulator 2" -
This game, which is available for PC and Mac, has been one of my favorites for a long time. I just turn on one of the European pop radio streams available in the game, and drive around. I pretty much only do jobs so I'll have a destination -- you could just not do them if you'd rather just wander.
"SnowRunner" -
It's like "Euro Truck Simulator," but in places that mostly just have dirt roads that are covered in snow. The other night I spent an hour slowly pulling my truck out of a mud puddle and I loved every second of it.
"Katamari" series -
These games are about rolling up garbage into a giant ball. They're cute, and nice, and upbeat. The most recent of these, "Katamari Damacy Reroll," is a remake of the original game for Switch and PC. If you've got an Xbox 360 or PS3 lying around you can play some of the older games too.
"Flower" -
This game, which you can get as a digital download on any recent PlayStation device or on PC, is so chill and therapeutic. You're just a flower petal floating on the wind drifting around with other flower petals. It'll make you feel good.
"Portal" series -
It's got a novel brand of puzzles, as well as a similar, though less crass, sense of humor to "Saints Row." The story is overall almost nihilistic, and it's got plenty of jokes about giant corporations exploiting people in horrible ways. It feels just about right.
"The Sims" -
You probably know all about this series a this point, so let this simply serve as a reminder.
"Star Wars: The Old Republic" -
This online "Star Wars" game is free for anybody with an ok gaming PC (it came out in 2011, so it's not super demanding), and it's very easy and chill to get into after nearly a decade of quality-of-life improvements. But the real reason you should play it is because it's got the best "Star Wars" stories from the past ten years.
"Yakuza" series -
The main stories in these games are overwrought Japanese melodrama, but the real fun is the wacky shenanigans that gangster Kiryu Kazuma gets into in his every day life. That juxtoposition hits the sweet spot. You can get these for PlayStation or PC.
"The Talos Principle" -
It's another 3D puzzle game in the vein of "Portal," but instead of cracking jokes it's more about musing about the nature of humanity, which has long since gone extinct. That may sound upsetting, but honestly it's pretty calming. It's like going to therapy, but in a puzzle game that's available on every platform, including mobile devices.
"Cities: Skylines" -
It's kinda like Sim City, but I like this one much more just because it's generally less complicated and annoying. Even better: you can get it on PC, Mac, PlayStation, Xbox and Switch, which is unusual for a game like this.
"Viscera Cleanup Detail" -
So when you're playing a shooter game, you tend to leave a lot of corpses behind as you move to each new area. But in this game, which is available on Steam for PC and Mac, you're not the one doing the shooting -- you're the one who cleans up all the bodies and mops up and blood. Some people enjoy cleaning their homes to chill, and this is like that but you don't have to stand up.
"The Stanley Parable" -
Nothing really happens in this game. You just wander around pressing buttons and try not to do what the narrator tells you to. It's a weird comedy meta-game of sorts, mocking standard video game storytelling. If you play a lot of video games, it'll amuse you. Available for PC and Mac.
"Final Fantasy XV" -
Like all "Final Fantasy" games, the plot here is ludicrous. But the appeal of this game for me has always been as a sort of road trip simulator. You roll around the country with your bros, stopping every once in a while to get gas, kill some monsters, go camping, or climb to the top of a volcano to take down a giant bird so you can take its giant eggs and eat them with cup noodles. It's nice.
"Goat Simulator" -
This may be the dumbest game ever made. It's not a real "simulator" in the normal sense -- it's actually just a goofy physics game where you like strap a jetpack on your goat or whatever. It's available on pretty much every platform you might use for gaming so you should probably just go for it.
"Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA Future Tone" -
It's just a silly PS4 rhythm game where you perform songs by the famous "vocaloid" Miku and her digital friends. There's plenty of excellent songs, and most of them come with stupidly amusing music videos. And unlike the other Miku games, this one doesn't bother with a plot or any kind of unlock progression. You just have all the 200+ songs from the start and there's nothing to try to force you to do songs you don't like.
"Saints Row IV" -
I will admit that I've had a pretty tough time laughing at anything the last couple months (have we really been in lockdown that long?), but the ludicrous action comedy game "Saints Row IV" manages to hit the spot even so. Plus it has just enough of a dark tinge to fit this moment in history -- it's pretty much just "The Matrix," except it's aliens running the simulation after they blew up the Earth. Anyway it's funny in the right way for right now. You can grab this on any current game console or PC. For maximum chill, just turn down the difficulty setting and enjoy the madness.
Any mobile puzzle game -
This is your reminder that any app store you have on your phone is absolutely full of free puzzle apps, like word searches or crosswords or whatever. My phone go-to is sudoku, but almost certainly you can get whatever your preferred puzzle time-waster is without having to pay anything.
There are plenty of relaxing video games you can enjoy while there's nothing to do outside your home

Micro-switch in many exchange circuit is used very much, mainly responsible for the control and security protection, precisely because it has such a function, it is often used in electronic equipment may be below the power system, of course, some high technology Category is ultimately indispensable to it. Therefore, we must not underestimate the role of it, without it, but never do.
Then the quality of micro switch by what resolution, it is the service life and how to judge it? The following stars kun electronics will give everyone a complicated introduction. Now the life of the switches sold on the market is different, consumers can choose according to their own budget life expectancy of different products. From thirty thousand times to ten million times the service life, in general the highest international product is only 800 million times, while foreign high-end technology can reach 10 million times. This is where the different parts of the reed is not the same, the general international reed bronze or stainless steel wire may be, and much better abroad, are basically made of rare titanium. Then consumers can reed material to determine about the approximate life of its reed. Micro switch is equipped with a drive outside the pressure handle, the volume is very small, can be widely used in various places. The components of this switch about five categories, the quality of the five major components will also decide the quality of its good or bad.
The quality of micro-switches, a large part of the external hardware by the resolution, but there are still some of the company's assembly technology and pre-factory quality control resolution. So finding a company that specializes in the production of electronic components is important and will save you a lot of trouble.

Q: Recreate 3 column facebook style parcial scrolling then fixed position CSS Hi i want to know how to achieve the facebook effect for its 3 columns, if you check you can scroll the page as a usual page until the right column stop scrolling, and the center scrolling keep doing it, How is that 3er column on the right working, why you can scroll it until its fixed on the page.. i guess this is javascript. right?
For the rest of elements i think header is fixed , thats clear, but that 3er column is killing me cause i need to recreate a timeline (with other design) but the same idea of 3 columns..
Any ideas? All the examples i can found, set a fixed position for Rigth column , but in facebook as i said you can scroll until 3rd column became fixed, well i think i dont know, thats why i ask.
Thanks

A: This isn't too difficult once you break it down into steps...
Firstly, you need to set up your page template in html:

Then you need to style it however you want it to look with css:
html, body{
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
}
.head{
    height:30px;
    width:100%;
    background:#3B5998;
    position:fixed;
    top:0;
    left: 0;
    z-index:1000;
}
.main{
    padding:30px 10px 5px;
    max-width:1200px;
    margin:auto;
}
.left{
    vertical-align:top;
    width:80%;
    display:inline-block;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    background:#eee;
}
.right{
    vertical-align:top;
    width:20%;
    display:inline-block;
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    background:#ccc;
}

Then you need to understand what is needed to make this work...
To start with you need to know:

*

*The height of the viewing window

*The height to which the window is scrolled

*The height of the right bar

The idea is to have the right bar (.right) scroll with the rest of the page (as it does with the plain html and css above) until the end of .right is reached.
Mathematically this will happen when:
window_height + scroll_height == right_bar_height

Now that you know when you need to start stopping .right from scrolling you can plug it into an if statement and add the custom css to fix the right bar in place.
To fix .right in the correct place you need to know:

*

*The height of the window

*The height of .right

*The width of .right

*The left offset of .right in the viewing window

You then apply css attributes with js to fix .right in the correct place. That is position, top, left, and width.

*

*You set position: fixed so that .right is taken out of the flow of the page.

*You set left to the sum of .left offset and .left width

*You set top to window_height - right_bar_height but only if .right is taller than the window

*You set width to the desired width. In this case 20% of .main
You then need to apply the above calculations every time the page scrolls or resizes so it's best to have it as a function which you can call in either event.
function rightBarControl(){
    var windowHeight = $(window).height();
    var scrollHeight = $(window).scrollTop();
    var rightBarWidth = $('.main').width()*.2 //20% of .main width
    var rightBarHeight = $('.right').outerHeight();
    var rightBarOffset = $('.left').offset().left + $('.left').outerWidth();
    var rightBarTop = 30; //30 because .head is 30px high
    if(windowHeight - 30 < rightBarHeight){ //Again including 30 because of .head
        rightBarTop = windowHeight - rightBarHeight;
    }
    if((windowHeight + scrollHeight) >= rightBarHeight){
        $('.right').css({
            position:'fixed',
            left: rightBarOffset,
            top: rightBarTop,
            width: rightBarWidth
        })
    }
    else{
         $('.right').css({
            position: 'static',
            left: '',
            top: '',
            width: '20%'
        })
    }
}
$(window).scroll(rightBarControl); //Run control on window scroll
$(window).resize(rightBarControl); //Run control on window resize

Note this use jquery so you need to include it before the above script, something like:

Q: Como manter sessão PHP durante upload longo Olá, tenho um sistema básico de autenticação usando session pra um sistema de file-upload
Porém, quando algum usuário com internet lenta coloca muitos arquivos na fila de upload (10 ou mais arquivos), sendo que cada arquivo demoraria 1 hora pra ser upado, ele acaba sendo desconectado depois de 1 ou mais horas
Eu já tentei resolver esse problema usando as diretivas
session.gc_maxlifetime
session.cookie_lifetime
E também a função session_set_cookie_params.
Porém, mesmo usando elas, o usuário continua sendo deslogado após 1 hora ou um pouco mais e nunca conseguindo completar o restante dos seus uploads
(Já que a sessão é destruída por inatividade na página, apesar dele continuar upando o arquivo)

A: Você pode usar o session_cache_expire() ele aumenta ou diminui o tempo de expiração de uma sessão. Recebe como parâmetro o tempo em minutos para expiração da sessão. Precisamos declarar essa função antes de session_start(). Veja um exemplo dessa função:
<?php
//INICIO A SESSÃO COM UM TEMPO DE EXPIRAÇÃO DE 10 MINUTOS
session_cache_expire(10);
session_start();
?>

Você também pode usar como alternativa:
Criar um Cookie onde você tem que usar os Cookie para manter, caso as sessions estejam apagadas, então você busca nos cookies e resete as sessions.


The Schuster Institute was established through a grant by Gerald and Elaine Schuster, but in recent years the grant money has proved insufficient to maintain it, according to the same email. Over the past three years, the University provided Schuster with $450,000 to make up for the lack of funds, according to Julie Jette, Director of Media Relations. Generally, "free-standing institutes or centers at universities must … largely sustain their own operations," according to Jette's Jan. 18 email.
This board celebrates the accomplishments of Schuster over the past 14 years. The Justice Brandeis Law Project helped free two people jailed for crimes they did not commit, according to the project's website. Other Schuster research has contributed to public health projects and helped expose instances of modern-day slavery and international adoption fraud. In addition to its invaluable work, Schuster has served as a place for undergraduates to gain skills in investigative journalism. This board commends Schuster for its contributions.
With the loss of Schuster, undergraduates interested in Journalism will need new ways to gain education and experience in the field. In her Jan. 18 email, Jette explained that the University is looking for creative ways to improve the Journalism program. These include hiring a faculty member experienced in digital medi, and potentially combining Journalism and related programs into a media and communications program. This board supports the University's efforts: Without investment, the Journalism program will wither. By reforming the program to fit contemporary needs and job markets, Brandeis will benefit in the long run as its communications program earns recognition and alumni loyalty. Unlike print journalism, digital media and communications is a flourishing industry and the University will gain by investing in it.
That said, digital media and communications encompasses a range of industries — digital advertising also falls under that umbrella despite being the antithesis of news reporting. To keep the digital media program journalism-focused, this board recommends that the University create a specialized journalism track and major within the prospective media and communications department. Alternatively, the University could create an interdisciplinary Journalism program, drawing on programs such as Creative Writing, Fine Arts and Economics to build a robust, well-rounded curriculum.
As the University changes its Journalism program, we also recommend that it become a major. The number of Journalism minors dropped 50 percent between 2014 and 2017, from 32 to 16. Currently, the minor is relatively rigorous; in addition to requiring five classes, typical of a Brandeis minor, the Journalism program requires students to pursue an internship or independent study, or write a thesis. While such experience is valuable, the significant time commitment involved may be dissuading students from minoring — by nature, a minor cannot be one's main focus at University, and the course load should reflect that. Because real-world internship experience is necessary for prospective journalists — the newsroom offers an education that no class can — removing that requirement would remove a key element of the program. If Journalism were a major, students could pursue it extensively without feeling pressured to master another discipline as well.
To improve the Journalism program's experiential learning component, the University should work to build a stronger alumni network and internship program. Students should be encouraged to connect with alumni to break into the field post-college, and alumni in the Boston area should be reached out to for internship and shadowing opportunities. Loyalty begets loyalty; a strong program will grow a strong alumni network, and alumni opportunities and donations that will then further strengthen the program. Heavily investing in Journalism as a department which makes Brandeis proud will lead to a fantastic department with strong connections — refusing to do so means letting it fizzle out.
Beyond journalism's inherent value, this board urges the University to consider how a strong news program lines up with its social justice values. In the "fake news" era, digital literacy and reliable reporting are the bulwarks of democracy; seeking truth and reporting it is a means of pursuing justice and freedom. It only makes sense that Brandeis puts itself on the forefront of this effort — what better way to honor Justice Brandeis' legacy?
Editor's Note: Senior Editor Amber Miles works at the Schuster Institute for Investigative Journalism and did not participate in the writing or discussion of this editorial.

I've just dropped my ipad and the alluminium case bent on the volume button, i cant use the volume button and it stuck inside (volume square is frozen on the sceen). Is it possible to open the ipad and reshape the allumium case or is it too risky?
As you have probably noted, there is no screw to open the iPad 2 and in fact it make opening this iDevice much more complicate that an iPhone for example.
This is the reason why all iPad 2 guides are marked "Very difficult"!
I wouldn't say it is too risky, it depends on you, your skills and probably also your tools. If you want to make a good job you will have to use the good tools. Look at this iOpener at least!
If you decide to access the volume button hole from inside the rear case, the minimum require disassemble is the display. Look at this guide so you will have a better view on what you would have to do.
Once you will have the screen out, you will have a better view if further dis-assembly is required. Any further dis-assembly should be piece of cake after what you've done just before!
Let us know what is your decision, and good luck!

Jaden Smith Plans To Open Restaurant That Will Feed Homeless People For Free
By Adaugo May 15, 2021 No Comments9 Views
Two years ago, Jaden Smith launched a food truck initiative called 'I Love You.' According to Complex, his goal was to provide free "healthy, vegan food" to people staying in the "Los Angeles' Skid Row area." His mobile I Love You Restaurant passed out brown paper bags; that included bowls of carrots and kale to some of the 8,000 people estimated to live in the area, The Hollywood Reporterreports.
And now, the rapper and actor is expanding his initial idea to include a restaurant that feeds the homeless for free.
"It's for homeless people to get free food," Smith said. "But if you're not homeless, not only do you have to pay; but you have to pay for more than the food's worth; so that you can pay for the person behind you."
"I see this as one, of many, steps towards creating change in our world, "; Jaden Smith wrote on his restaurant's official site.
Back in October, he launched a project called The Water Box. Complex reports that it's a filtration system used to clean water; in order provide access to a necessary resource where it's most needed. Using the system, Jaden has donated the equivalent of about "300,000 bottles of water" to Flint, Michigan.
Flint has been experiencing a severe water crisis over the last few years; that's left 12 people dead and more than 80 ill. In January of this year, several charges were announced against former Michigan Governor Rick Snyder; and eight additional government staff members and officials.

(JTA) – President Donald Trump told an Israeli newspaper that his Dec. 6 declaration recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital was the high point of his time in office.
In the Hebrew-language translation of an excerpt from Trump's interview with Israel Hayom editor-in-chief Boaz Bismuth, Trump said that both Israel and the Palestinians would need to compromise significantly to achieve peace. Trump was replying to a question on whether Israel would have to give something in return for the declaration.
Calling the city "your wonderful capital," he added that its recognition as Israel's capital was very important for many people whom Trump said thanked him. Trump described the move as an important promise he made and kept.
The president also said he understands why previous presidents who said they would recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital ended up not doing it. He cited "enormous pressure" through intensive lobbying by those who opposed the move.
Trump responded that he meant to say that the declaration clarified that Jerusalem is Israel's capital, but when it comes to specific borders he would support the ones agreed upon by both parties.
Israel Hayom, a free newspaper with the largest circulation in Israel, is owned by the American billionaire Sheldon Adelson, a major giver to the Republican Party and Israel activist.


There is nothing quite like the honesty and directness of children!
What was most interesting was how very few of the children had heard of jasmine, had never smelled it before, and yet their responses were almost identical. One small boy who was maybe 5 years old smelled the vial of jasmine, closed his eyes, cocked his head, and literally got blissed out….when I asked if he liked it he gave me a big smile.


In their quest to be the first to trigger a nuclear fusion reaction using lasers scientists at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have delivered more than one megajoule of laser energy to a target. The peak power of the laser light, which was delivered within a few billionths of a second, was about 500 times that used by the United States at any given time and demonstrates the target drive conditions required to achieve fusion ignition.
The historic level of laser energy delivered is about 30 times the energy delivered by any other group of lasers in the world and was achieved by focusing the energy of 192 powerful laser beams into a pencil-eraser-sized cylinder containing a tiny spherical target called a hohlraum (pictured below). Inside the cylinder, the laser energy is converted to X-rays, which compress the fuel until it reaches temperatures of more than 200 million degrees Fahrenheit and pressures billions of times greater than Earth's atmospheric pressure.
For the 1 MJ shot the target consisted of gas-filled capsules acting as substitutes for the fusion fuel capsules that are filled with deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen, that will be used in the 2010 ignition campaign. The 1 MJ shot using an ignition-scale target for the first time represents the culmination of experiments that began in June 2009 when the NIF laser system first began firing all 192-laser beams onto targets.
These early tests have demonstrated that NIF's laser beams can be effectively delivered to the target and are capable of creating sufficient X-ray energy in the target cylinder to drive fuel implosion. The implosions achieved with the surrogate capsules have also been shown to have good symmetry that is adjustable through a variety of techniques. The next step is to move to ignition-like fuel capsules that require the fuel to be in a frozen hydrogen layer (at 425 degrees Fahrenheit below zero) inside the fuel capsule. NIF is currently being made ready to begin experiments with ignition-like fuel capsules in the summer of 2010.
The NIF at LLNL is the world's largest laser facility and the only one megajoule laser system in the world. It is expected to be the first facility to achieve fusion ignition and energy gain in a laboratory setting.


Let's talk Consistency Killer #2 this morning – the Failure to Have a Simple Plan.
When I get up in the morning, I'm sunk before I even get started if I've not done this one thing before I go to bed the night before.
It's simple, really, and it's the key for me to make sure I stick to practices that I know serve me and my family in the long run.
Here it is. It's a game-changer, and some of you do it as a matter of habit without having to think of it. I wish I were you.
Lay out my workout clothes.
Open up one window on my computer where I can sit down and spend the short 15-20 minutes of time I'll have to write a blog post.
This mind-shifting practice is to have a plan the night before and set things up so I can easily dive into my plan.
Consistency Killer #2 is that we do not have a simple plan for what we're going to do. If I wake up in the morning without my stuff laid out, I default to bad habits like wandering around aimlessly because it's 5am and I'm tired. Or I check email and social media while I wander around aimlessly.
All the sudden? It's too dang late. It's 5:45 and I need to get ready for work.
If you struggle with this consistency killer, you'll know it.
You show up at the gym to workout, but you don't know if you should do cardio or weights. And if weights, should you do legs or shoulders or back? You piddle around for 20 minutes before starting anything and then you feel like your efforts tended toward the 'meh'.
You sit down to read the Bible, but you're not sure if you should start in Genesis or Matthew or read back through Ephesians again. You open the book, point at a verse, read a couple, shut it down and wonder why Scripture just doesn't do it for you.
Maybe it's work. You're in sales. You know you need to fill the pipeline, so you schedule 1 hour for prospecting. The time comes on your calendar, and you realize you're not sure who to call or email or what you'd even say.
Or you want to eat a certain diet plan, but all you have around the house isnot at all what fits into that eating plan.
While there might be any number of other self-sabotaging consistency killers at work, these problems are all fixed by developing a simple plan.
A Plan Doesn't Have to Perfect (or even good) – You just need to remove friction.
The plan doesn't have to be perfect – or even good. You just have to have a planbefore your scheduled start time.
Lay out your clothes or equipment the night before.
Decide on a book of the Bible and just read a chapter a day.
Pick a day for cardio, a day for legs, a day for upper body, and three exercises to start you off each workout.
It doesn't take much. Just know what you want to do, and remove as much friction as you can so you can do the thing you want to do.
Any other suggestions that work for you? If so, hit reply to this email and let me know!

DANBURY - The city's methadone clinic, now run by Danbury Hospital on hospital grounds, may move to a vacant factory building on Beaver Brook Road.
New England Pipeline . The National Drug Intelligence Center , a subdivision of the U.S. Department of Justice, now says heroin "poses the greatest drug threat to Connecticut" of any illegal drug. "In the 1970s 'Panic in Needle Park' days, the heroin being sold had a 5 percent purity," said Mark Parrino , president of the American Association for Treatment of Opioid Dependence , referring to the 1971 movie portraying life among a group of heroin addicts. "Now we're seeing heroin with 75 percent purity." That means users get high, and get addicted much more quickly, Parrino said. Users can smoke or snort heroin instead of injecting it and still get addicted. The Drug Intelligence Center said the number of people admitted to Connecticut treatment centers because of heroin addiction rose from 16,403 in 1999 to 17,878 in 2001 - far more than for any other illegal drug. Nor is it an inner-city phenomenon. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has said, in its report on drug use in Connecticut, that heroin is "easily accessible" and "a significant problem in the suburban areas of the state as well as the urban areas." Teenagers are addicted in increasing numbers; the U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration reports that from 1992 to 2000, the percentage of heroin addicts younger that 25 years old who sought treatment increased from 30 to 41 percent. Experts say methadone is one of the best ways to treat heroin addiction. The drug - a synthetic narcotic developed in Germany in the 1940s - is a pain-killer. But in the 1960s, doctors discovered its use for weaning people off heroin. Addicts who receive methadone lose their craving for the illegal drugs. While it has few side-effects, methadone is, in itself, addictive. Some people, once they have stopped using heroin, can carefully withdraw from methadone; others must continue getting a daily oral dose for years. But that dose allows them to regain control over their lives and re-enter society. Addicts enrolled in methadone programs have a much lower rate of criminal behavior and a much higher rate of employment. Because they aren't sharing dirty needles with other addicts, they have a much lower rate of HIV infection. Nationally, Parrino said, states are beginning to expand methadone programs. In 1993, he said, there were 750 methadone programs in the United States with 120,000 patients; by 2003, that had increased to 1,050 centers and 210,000 patients. "It's not stagnant," he said. "It's just that the increase isn't commensurate with the increase in heroin use."

What started as a flashmob response to historical revisionism in Hungary's capital, grew into a permanent addition to a disputed monument. On September 9th, this makeshift memorial was vandalised. But a firm response followed.
Freedom is a central concept of modern democracies.
As highlighted in previous article and interview, written as a tribute to the work of Living Memorial activists, it is highly ironic that Szabadság Square, in the heart of Budapest named after "Freedom," has become a battle ground. In this arena, there are repulsive power games where authoritarian governments apparently prefer to demonstrate their transitorily official version of Hungary's history.
About a week after my paper the extreme right online portal, Kurucinfó, published an Anti-Semitic article half of which was dedicated to voicing the author's anger over my writing. He finished his opinion piece by quoting a colleague of his from Kurucinfó who also raged against the Living Memorial just a few days before, when stumbling blocks had been recently placed in Budapest, and also in some country towns in memory of Holocaust victims. The latter writer claimed that the Memorial of Lies would not be the monument erected in 2014 by Hungary's present right-wing government, in memory of the Hungarian victims of the Nazi occupation at one end of Szabadság square. Instead, it would be another statue at the other end of the same square, which had been set up in 1946, in memory of the deceased soldiers of the Soviet troops invading Hungary towards the end of World War II. In conclusion, both writers encouraged people to ruin the Living Memorial.
On 9 September, certain people apparently followed their instructions and damaged or removed some of the objects that belonged to the Living Memorial collection.
I was flabbergasted to hear about these events and to read the arguments justifying these manifestations of violence.
To my understanding, democracy is not a soccer match. It is not played by two teams trying to score more goals against their opponent on a clearly divided field, marked by a couple of symbols – gates or monuments – at both ends.
Drawing a parallel between the Soviet and the Nazi occupation of Hungary may have some accuracy, and can definitely offer some ideas worth contemplating; but projecting a historical dichotomy on the recent state of affairs is totally wrong.
Protesting against either of the two politically sensitive memorials does not automatically rank one among the supporters of the other. We know about fellow citizens who fell victim to both oppressive powers during and right after World War II. We also know about others who complied with both oppressors. And we all know about those millions of people who were just trying to survive both dictatorial political systems, without being particularly fond of either.
Thanks to good luck, both Kohn and Grün survive the Holocaust. A few years after World War II, they pass by the official celebration on the 1st of May, the International Workers' Day, organized by the Communist Party. Crowds of people are marching along the street, waving red flags, bearing placards and shouting slogans.
Just like Grün, I do not see much difference between various oppressors, and I feel sorry for all their victims.
For me, the essential difference lies between aggression and the willingness to enter dialogue.
Using the imagery of the Living Memorial: democracy in my view is a circle where everybody is welcome, and we carefully listen to each other in the hope of a better understanding of our shared memories, as well as our current conflicts. It is not because we are exceptionally kind people, or we necessarily like each other that much at first sight. Rather, it is because we have no other sensible choice but to learn how to live and cooperate with the diversity with which we share any public space, be it a square, a city, a country, a continent or a globe.
Our Friends, Our Fellow Citizens, Hungarian People!
On 9 September, 2016, barbarous hands damaged the legendary object collection of Living Memorial at Szabadság Square: a set of personal objects, documents and memory pebbles, which had been assembled by us, Hungarian citizens in March, 2014 in protest against the German occupation memorial.
The aim of our action then was to occupy the site, using the symbolic tokens of genuine, living memory and blocking the way of people trying falsify history, who claimed that the whole nation was a mere victim to foreign invasion, thus concealing the responsibility of the Hungarian state regarding the Holocaust. Although the statue was finally erected, the government dismissed the idea of a formal unveiling ceremony as a result of our protests. Ever since then government politicians have kept far away from Szabadság Square.
We invite our fellow citizens who respect the victims' memory for a new flashmob on Sunday, 18 September 2016 at 4 p.m. Let us bring our stones, candles, photos and keepsakes again, let us restore and renew the Living Memorial! Let us show to the provocateurs that we have no fear and we are determined to continue our protest against historical lies.
Activists arriving to the site were glad to see that the loss had been smaller than what it first looked like. Memory stones proved to be as heavy and solid as the memories associated with them. In an afternoon's corporate effort, Living Memorial was not only restored, but looked greater than ever. The volunteers are ready to continue the work of tikkun olam at Szabadság Square.

Call For Executive To Meet As Jobs Crisis Looms
There has been a fresh call for an end to bickering over the failure of the NI Executive to meet.
DUP MLA and member of the Enterprise, Trade and Investment Committee, Robin Newton, said as unemployment figures are confirmed as being the highest within the past 22 years, the refusal of Sinn Féin to attend Executive meetings sends a negative message to those who face redundancy and business difficulties.
"As the construction industry pays off skilled tradesmen, retailers complain of falling sales and the unemployment rate rises to 4.5% Sinn Fein's obstructive attitude to an Executive meeting is an impediment to addressing the problems," he said.
He also noted that the current global economic situation "is dire".
"To refuse to address all economic opportunities, to 'say no' to collectively moving the economy forward, to turn down Executive meeting opportunities to agree capital spend projects is the height of political irresponsibility," he said.
However, a Sinn Féin MLA has also called on the Assembly to deliver more much-needed construction jobs.
Barry McElduff, Chairperson of the Culture, Arts and Leisure Committee, said the devolved government has the ability to to create more jobs in the ailing construction sector through capital spending programmes.
He said: "Sinn Féin are extremely concerned with the highest jump in over twenty years in unemployment figures.
"The Assembly have the ability to alleviate some of the burden upon the industry by bringing forward, as a matter of urgency, capital spending programmes from each Department.
"These have already been agreed in the budget and the money is there. This could lead to an injection of construction jobs into the labour market and relieve the stress and financial difficulty facing many of the workers and their families.
"A clear example of one such project is the construction of a multi-sports stadium at the site of Long Kesh.
"Unfortunately the DUP's Gregory Campbell is playing politics with this particular project, whether it will go ahead or not, or indeed where it will be located.
"This attitude will in no way aid the construction workers who are, no doubt, waiting for any opportunity to get back to work."

The best pitching DHs of all time
For those who live under a rock, something beautiful happened last night. Adam Dunn worked the ninth inning of a 15-run blowout between his Chicago White Sox and the last place Texas Rangers.
By Jeffrey Long Aug 6, 2014, 12:00pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: The best pitching DHs of all time
Mike DiNovo-USA TODAY Sports
It might be an understatement to say that it was kind of a big deal in the baseball world. After all, everyone loves it when position players take the mound late in games. There's even a twitter account dedicated to this rare and splendid phenomenon. So let's discuss Adam Dunn pitching last night fairly briefly.
Dunn pitched in high school, which I feel like is a pretty common occurrence for most of the MLB position players out there. He was also a backup quarterback at the University of Texas, so we know he has an arm. He also played major league baseball, which is a sport that often requires throwing as well. For those who may not remember, he's actually spent about twice as many innings in the outfield over his career (9,250) compared to first base (4,223), so there's that. It's not a surprise that Dunn can throw well enough to pitch; it is funny to watch him do it.
That said, I'm going to bring this crashing back to reality. I could go into Dunn's mechanics, or his pitches, or how he fared. Largely though, I'll leave that to Dan Rozenson whose done excellent work with that sort of thing any time a position player pitches over at Baseball Prospectus.
Here at Beyond the Box Score we always talk about context. Without context, performance is basically meaningless, and we don't know what to compare it to. Think about what we've discussed above. Adam Dunn pitching is kind of shocking until you realize that he pitched in high school, was a D1 major college quarterback, and has played over 9,000 innings in the outfield in MLB. So what context do we need to judge Dunn's performance? We must determine who is the best pitching DH of all time, of course. This is the only answer.
The sample we'll be working with:
#WhiteSox Adam Dunn is the third player (J. Canseco & C. Davis) in #MLB history to pitch in a game in which he started at designated hitter.
— Ace of MLB Stats (@AceballStats) August 6, 2014
Jose Canseco, Chris Davis, and most recently Adam Dunn make up the elite group of designated hitter pitchers. Below I've included an image of their comparative stats to begin our examination, and a link to the Fangraphs page here:
Now I know what you're thinking. This is Beyond the Box Score. Surely he's not going to use some ERAs and Win/Loss records to decide which DH is the best pitcher. You would be correct. We need to adjust these numbers for the stadiums and leagues in which those DHs pitched! Below is another leaderboard which includes, among many other things, FIP-, my personal favorite stat for evaluating pitchers in a vacuum. I've also included a link to the original data here:
Now it appears that all three "pitchers" were unlucky when it comes to BABIP here, so we could perhaps expect those numbers to drop in the future. Then again, they're position players, so probably not. We can see here that Adam Dunn was a little unlucky, his FIP being well below his ERA. Chris Davis really rises to the top, with FIP- suggesting to us that Chris Davis was about 39% better than an average pitcher over his two innings against Boston. Dunn, on the other hand, was about 53% worse than the average pitcher, but still better than Wandy Rodriguez who is being paid $13MM this season to throw baseballs poorly. Finally, we have Jose Canseco, who pitches almost exactly as you would expect Jose Canseco to pitch. There's an old saying about witnessing a train wreck but not being able to look away; that was invented to describe Canseco pitching.
So without further ado, here is Beyond the Box Score's definitive ranking of the best pitching DHs in baseball history:
#3 - Jose Canseco
First off - thanks to Jen Mac Ramos for the GIF assistance. Second - man what a thing of beauty. There's full video here and here, but basically a mulleted Jose Canseco took the mound and made all of our dreams come true in 1993. Also, please note that the second video begins with a clip of him running face-first into a wall because Jose Canseco was YOLO before YOLO was a thing.
I could be wrong, but his mechanics need some work. I'm not a pitching coach, but they don't look very repeatable, and that could be what caused him to issue three walks in his one inning. He ended up giving up three runs on two hits, and basically, I'm just really underwhelmed with his performance. I do find it interesting that he went sidearm for his delivery, no doubt inspiring Billy Beane's future infatuation with Chad Bradford in the movie Moneyball (and possibly also real life).
#2 - Adam Dunn
Dunn finds himself in the middle of the pack here, but that's more of a commentary on the lack of DHs pitching than it is Dunn's true talent level as a pitcher. Dunn's mechanics are pretty solid, though I'd like to see him calm down on the leg kick a bit here. He's also throwing across his body which is why his walk rate is a very high 9.00 per nine innings. He'll need to get that down a bit if he wants to be a true bullpen option for the White Sox, perhaps pitching coach Don Cooper can work with him to keep him from throwing across his body.
That said, Dunn has all the tools to exceed in the future. He found easy 80 mph velocity, which will work if he can locate it better. Based on his body size, I'd like to think that there's room for more velocity in there. He also spun a couple of breaking balls maybe, which would obviously be useful as a reliever. If he can put together three average pitches he might be the best option Chicago has out of the 'pen late in games. A full PITCHf/x breakdown of Dunn's outing can be found here.
One note though - if this report is correct, then we may need to re-evaluate Dunn's standing here. It may not change much because the #1 guy is pretty locked in to his spot, but it could be open for discussion.
#1 - Chris Davis
via assets.sbnation.com
Now Chris Davis is the cream of the crop among DHs that pitch. PITCHf/x suggested that he threw 15 fastballs in his two innings against the Red Sox, but the pitch above looks more like a changeup. Davis hit the low 90s with his fastball, and this beauty came in at just 83 mph. Below is a close up of Chris Davis striking out a professional baseball hitter with a change up:
via baltimoresportsreport.com
Just so we're clear, that is Adrian Gonzalez, owner of a $154MM contract. He plays first base and is one of the better hitters in baseball.
I know what you're thinking, and given his 2.59 FIP, it's beyond me as to why the Orioles haven't used Davis more as a pitcher in 2014 given that he's been barely replacement level as a first baseman. One possible answer is that they're saving his innings for the playoffs where they'll need guys with the ability to shut down excellent left-handed hitting like Davis can. The Orioles have World Series hopes, and Chris Davis might just be their secret weapon should they meet Gonzalez's Dodgers in the fall classic.
So there you have it. A definitive guide to the best pitching DHs of all time. We should all be thankful that the White Sox blessed us with Dunn's performance, and take a moment to reflect on where his outing has placed him in the pantheon of DHs who took the mound.
Special thanks to Jen Mac Ramos for her help with the Dunn & Canseco GIFs

Pakistan summons US ambassador after Trump's Twitter attack
President says Islamabad has repaid US government funding with 'lies & deceit.'
Pakistan's Foreign Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif
By Louis Nelson
January 2, 2018	1:21 pm
The Pakistani foreign ministry summoned the U.S. ambassador on Tuesday, according to a Reuters report, one day after President Donald Trump declared online that Pakistan had repaid U.S. government funding with "lies & deceit" in the fight against terrorism.
The U.S. embassy in Islamabad confirmed to Reuters that the meeting had taken place.
On Monday, Trump wrote online: "The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!"
Pakistani Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said Trump's rhetoric amounted to misplaced frustration stemming from the ongoing fight against Taliban militants in Afghanistan. He also said Pakistan does not need U.S. help or support.
Pakistan's commitment to combating terrorism in its region has long been a source of frustration for the U.S. government. While it has ostensibly been an ally in the years since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Pakistan has been accused of harboring Taliban fighters in its tribal regions along the Afghan border and turning a blind eye to the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network.
Multiple prominent terrorists have been killed inside Pakistan, most notable Osama bin Laden, who was killed in a U.S. raid on a compound located in the same city as the Pakistani military academy. Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour was killed by a U.S. drone strike inside Pakistan in 2016.
The Pakistani government has long disputed the notion that it is less than a full partner in combating terrorism. Pakistan's prime minister on Tuesday is expected to convene a Cabinet meeting that will focus on Trump's criticism.

Waymo, J.B. Hunt Sign Deal to Use Self-Driving Trucks in Texas
Mark Bergen, Bloomberg News
Waymo LLC signage is displayed on the door of a Chrysler Pacifica autonomous vehicle in Chandler, Arizona. , Bloomberg
(Bloomberg) -- Alphabet Inc.'s Waymo signed a multiyear deal with J.B. Hunt Transport Services Inc. to haul freight using autonomous trucks in Texas, its latest bid to reshape transportation with self-driving technology.
Robot big rigs with Waymo technology will start commercial trips "in the next few years," the companies said in an announcement on Friday, without offering specific dates or financial terms. Waymo also agreed to work on integrations with J.B. Hunt's freight management service.
The move is part of a broader effort to automate the trucking and logistics industry, with companies ranging from FedEx Corp. to Uber Technologies Inc. taking part. But safety advocates have questioned the technology and pushed for more regulation.
The new deal builds on Waymo's existing partnership with J.B. Hunt. In June, the two companies announced trials of self-driving freight service between Houston and Fort Worth, Texas. By December, Waymo shared that the tests had delivered over 862,000 pounds of freight without any speeding incidents or accidents. Waymo has also announced a partnership with United Parcel Service Inc.

Via a chain of unique essays, this publication unites a global staff of well known researchers and educators round the topic of information discussion.

The 20th century used to be one among profound transformation in rural the US. Demographic shifts and fiscal restructuring have conspired to change dramatically the lives of rural humans and their groups. demanding situations for Rural the United States within the Twenty-First Century defines those adjustments and translates their implications for the way forward for rural the USA.
The the most important value of Karl Marx's proposal for his personal time and for ours is past dispute, however the there have consistently been huge impediments to realizing: first, the intended complexity with which Marx articulated his rules; moment, the accretions which commentators, disciples, and hagiographers have equipped into the unique constitution.
But according to Castles, 'the focus on demonstrating whether or not politics matters obscured the need to examine a variety of causal sequences by which socio-economic and political factors might interact to determine expenditure patterns' Trying to go beyond the simple dichotomies of the 'politics matters' debate, he concludes f r o m his analysis of the pattern of public expenditure that partisan control of government is a major determinant of policy outputs : 'What it does seem to imply is that the ideological preferences for greater or less state activity or greater or less welfare have a directing impact on the policies that parties pursue' Interesting studies which go into the influence of politics on government activity in Germany are those of Schmidt (1978, 1980) and Treiber (1980), which show that differences in the formation of government can be seen in policy outputs.
In summary, of the studies presented here, Kramer (1971), Stigler (1973), Arcelus and Meitzer (1975), and Bloom and Price (1975) did not find that unemployment had important effects on election outcomes, while Goodman and Kramer (1975), Frey and Schneider (1978, 1980), and Schneider (1978) found unemployment rates to have significant effects. g. the models of Nordhaus (1975) and MacRae (1977)) find mixed support within the econometric studies themselves. The best way to f u r t h e r clarify the question of the robustness of vote or popularity functions might be to look at the results in other countries.
This is the only way for research and theory formation to come to terms with the multitude and complexity of available data. The logic of the research process has lead to specialization and differentiation of research fields which attempt to analyse from different aspects the same object of inquiry. In other words, empirical and normative approaches are characterized by a high degree of variation in order to contribute to a cumulative growth of knowledge and meaningful general explanations. With respect to research into parties and party competition, that process of differentiation has lead to the adoption of a paradigmatic way of thinking which will be used in this study: the intentional action paradigm or more precisely the rational choice approach, which is the main development of the intentional action paradigm.


BSDC will consist of 6 preliminary rounds, 2 elimination rounds and the Grand Final. Preliminary rounds consist of two impromptu motions and two prepared motions (debated from both sides by each team). Elimination rounds will be debated on impromptu motions and the Grand Final will be debated on one of the prepared motions from the preliminary rounds. Round 1 will be seeded randomly; subsequent rounds will be power-paired.
Chief Adjudicator for BSDC 2019 will be announced shortly.
The Slovak Debate Association is the only organization in Slovakia which promotes free speech and critical thinking through debating. SDA was registered on 17th November 1999 as an apolitical civic association. A spin-off of the Open Society Foundation, SDA took over the debate program in Slovakia established in 1996. It is also a founding member of the International Debate Education Association (IDEA). Members of SDA are usually involved in high school debate clubs. In 2011, SDA had over 800 members in over 50 debate clubs. In addition to competitive debating at high school level, SDA is expanding programs for elementary schools and universities, facilitates public debates, works with schools and teachers and provides training to active young people and NGOs. In 2012, SDA received the Slovak Youth Council Award whose aim is to raise awareness about the work of youth organizations. In the same year the Orange Foundation gave SDA an award for its long-term contribution to education in Slovakia. In 2003, SDA received a silver medal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for its contribution to public discussion about the entry of Slovakia into NATO.
Delegations will be required to pay registration fees in full by 28th February. Any delegation that fails to make payment by 28th February will be struck from the tournament and its place will be re-allocated.
Since we want BSDC to be as diverse as possible, a selection process will be adopted. While registering, you should state your preference by adding a letter behind the name of the team (e.g. Slovakia A, Slovakia B, etc.).
Preference to teams will be given according to the rank with which they were registered. As such, every country will be guaranteed a spot for their first team. (So we firstly register all A teams, then B teams, C teams etc.) Preference is given to teams from delegations that are able to bring a higher number of their own adjudicators. (It means that the C team from delegation that has registered 3 judges will be preferred to the C team from delegation that has registered 2 judges) If there are more teams than free spots remaining, spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
I cannot recommend BSDC and the lovely Slovak Debate Association more highly. What a warm, committed, friendly and dedicated debate community! BSDC debates are of a very high level indeed, the region is interesting and well worth a visit, and the Tournament is very well run. But most of all, the people are wonderful! The debaters, the organising committee, the SDA managers and of course the volunteers are all absolutely delightful. If you're looking for a spirited, well-run, challenging and welcoming tournament, BSDC is it.
The Bratislava Schools' Debating Championship is a delightful event to attend. Teams get to cut and thrust at ideas against the backdrop of an interesting country and be taken care of by a committed organisational team. The event's hallmark is the passion with which all competitors face off against each other and the good spirits with which clash occurs and then friendships are made. BSDC is well worth the travel and affords the opportunity for excellent debating experiences and memories.
BSDC is such an incredibly friendly, educational and well-run tournament! It is a fantastic experience for all participants.
I have never participated at BSDC, however Slovenian debaters and judges coming back from Bratislava were both times full of praise for Bratislava organisers. They were telling me how the tournament was well organised, how friendly the organising team is. They were especially impressed by the volunteers who welcome everybody, showing teams around, making sure everybody knew were to go and what to do. Furthermore, Bratislava is a great city to visit, lots of things to be seen, not too big, not small, so I do recommend everybody who would like to participate at a good tournament in a very friendly and pleasant environment to go. Slovenia will definitely participated again.

Neil Young set for return to Woodstock site
Neil Young on July 17 will perform at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
John W. Barry
Poughkeepsie Journal
