Click Debate: What's the deal with UFC's 'four-month rule' under USADA?
Angela Hill posted a video on her Twitter last week, explaining why she would not be stepping in on two weeks notice to face Jessica Andrade at UFC 207.
In short, it was not Hill's call.
Hill, the Invicta FC strawweight champion, said in the emotional video that she was offered the Dec. 30 fight against Andrade, but was told later that she could not compete due to a rule in the UFC's anti-doping policy.
The provision (5.7 in the UFC anti-doping policy) states that fighters once under UFC contract who are returning to the promotion must be in the USADA drug-testing pool four months before stepping back in the cage. Hill was with the UFC in 2014 and 2015 before being released. The UFC is able to waive that rule under "exceptional circumstances or where the strict application of that rule would be manifestly unfair" to the athlete, but did not in Hill's case.
Shortly after I published an article on the situation, two former UFC fighters, Mike Rhodes and Jared Papazian, wrote to me on Twitter asking if they, too, would have to be in the USADA drug-testing pool for four months before entering the Octagon again. Under the current language of the rule, they would, unless the UFC decided to grant them an exemption like it did Brock Lesnar prior to UFC 200.
The intent of the provision doesn't necessarily match the language. The rule is in place so that a UFC fighter does not retire or voluntarily leave the promotion (and the testing pool), cycle onto performance-enhancing drugs, and then return on short notice without getting tested against an athlete who has been in the USADA pool.
That is not a bad regulation to have in place. But why punish fighters like Hill who were cut? She didn't leave the UFC under her own accord last year. Neither did Rhodes or Papazian.
Also, it's strange that the barrier for entry for former UFC fighters is now greater than it is for first-timers. The UFC can sign a fighter who has never been on the roster before and slot that athlete into a short-notice slot. No four months in the testing pool required.
The UFC and USADA need to take a hard look at the language of that rule and there's a chance that is in the pipeline. UFC vice president of athlete health and performance Jeff Novitzky told MMA Fighting that the UFC anti-doping policy is being reviewed by both organizations and changes could be forthcoming. Novitzky did not mention the "four-month rule" specifically as something that will be altered, just that it will be looked at.
USADA spokesperson Ryan Madden confirmed with MMA Fighting that the anti-doping policy is being looked it and that is a common practice on a yearly basis with USADA and its partners.
Novitzky said that because the UFC anti-doping policy is so "comprehensive and robust," there was an expectation that there would be things that would need tweaking after a period of time, even though the promotion and USADA were "diligent in trying to play out every scenario" before the policy was written.
Jordan Mein and Ben Saunders are two other fighters who had to be in the pool four months before competing again. That was going to be a requirement for Chael Sonnen and Georges St-Pierre, too. Sonnen has since departed for Bellator MMA and St-Pierre, who has been in the pool since August, has yet to come to terms on a new contract with the UFC.
Lesnar was granted a waiver from four months of testing, because he only signed with the UFC about a month prior to UFC 200 in July. He was also never in the USADA program when he retired previously in 2011. Lesnar was tested eight times in the month between his signing and the fight with Mark Hunt — and he ended up testing positive for a banned substance in an out-of-competition screening.
The results didn't come back until after the fight, though, and Lesnar still competed, beating Hunt by unanimous decision. Lesnar has since been suspended one year and fined $250,000 by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC). The victory over Hunt has been overturned to a no contest. Lesnar's doping case with USADA is still pending and he's facing a maximum of a one-year suspension.
Though it might not have mattered much since Lesnar tested positive close to the fight, the UFC has been conservative with granting waivers for the four-month period since then.
Tim Elliott, who was on the UFC roster from 2012 to 2015, was granted a waiver from being in the pool for four months ahead of his flyweight title challenge against Demetrious Johnson earlier this month. That was a unique circumstance, though.
Elliott was a cast member on The Ultimate Fighter 24 and all TUF castmates are tested by the UFC prior to the show beginning, the UFC said in a statement. Novitzky also gave the TUF competitors education on the USADA program and the UFC's anti-doping policy while they were in the house, per the UFC.
While the intent of the rule makes sense, change is definitely needed. It's not fair to former UFC fighters to face a greater barrier of entry into the promotion than newcomers. Short-notice fights are a reality in MMA and many athletes outside of the UFC are banking on them as a way to get into the world's leading promotion. As of last week, Hill didn't know if she'd be in the UFC moving forward now that the short-notice opportunity is no longer there for her.
Maybe the UFC should be a little more liberal with granting waivers, especially when it comes to fighters who did not voluntarily leave the UFC previously and there's no suspicion of drug use. On the other hand, it's a slippery slope when the UFC is making these kinds of decisions and there is pay-per-view money and ratings on the line. The decision to grant a waiver should not be based on the drawing power of the athlete or the card in which that athlete might end up being on.
So, in that case, maybe that choice should be taken out of the promotion's hands altogether and be decided by an independent panel, like USADA uses for certain processes, like therapeutic use exemptions (TUE).
A change is needed either way. The UFC wanted Hill at UFC 207. Hill wanted to fight on the card. Andrade has now been yanked from the year-end event because she has no opponent with Maryna Moroz injured. No one really wins here.
The letter of the law was followed, but perhaps not the spirit of it. The UFC and USADA need to take a hard look at the language of the "four-month rule" heading into 2017.

A Los Angeles resident has complained that an Amazon delivery driver spit on their package after dropping it off on their porch. The strange delivery was caught on the home owner's Ring camera.
In the footage, the delivery man can be seen approaching the house with the package and then setting it down before spitting on it. He then proceeded to smear his spit around the box. He can then be seen taking a few pictures before leaving.
Luckily, a neighbor witnessed the incident and informed the homeowner before they handled the package. The customer said that Amazon apologized and offered him a $50 credit, but he wants the driver to be tested for the coronavirus, just in case.
Some online commenters have suggested that perhaps the driver was attempting to remove a barcode the box, but obviously this would be a highly unprofessional and unsanitary way to do this, and we would hope that the driver was not doing the same thing at all of his other stops.
An Amazon spokesperson, when contacted, says the incident was not 'representative of drivers who deliver for Amazon,' and that the delivery man worked for a third party contractor. The driver was reported to his supervisors, and an investigation is currently underway, according to the spokesperson.
Amazon delivery driver caught on video spitting on package
"UPSETTING" – Amazon says a driver is no longer delivering packages after apparently spitting on his hand and rubbing it on a package in California. STORY: https://bit.ly/3apKTch
Posted by Fox 32 Chicago on Friday, March 27, 2020
This video is alarming for people all over the world, as more people are turning to Amazon deliveries for essential goods during the time of quarantine. The virus can live on cardboard for over 48 hours and on plastics for even longer, so if an infected driver were to spit on a package as it was being delivered, the virus could certainly be passed on to the customer.
This is why it is a good idea to disinfect all of your packages, even when purchased from the grocery store.
California has had 4,100 confirmed cases, and Los Angeles County, where the incident occurred, has had over 1,200 cases and 21 deaths.
Last week, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the United States has the potential to become a new epicenter for the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. The organization pointed to a "very large acceleration" in infections taking place in the states and an inadequate containment strategy.
The United States government has implemented social distancing measures for about a week, but the specifics of these measures vary from state to state. However, earlier this week, the WHO warned that social distancing was not enough and that aggressively testing and isolating the cases should be a top priority. In the United States, officials have opted to only test people if they are asymptomatic, which leaves many potential carriers unaware that they are infecting others.
US President Donald Trump is eager to see Americans go back to work and get life back to normal. In recent statements, the president has suggested that the country could be back to work as soon as Easter, because the potential damage to the economy caused by social distancing measures could end up being worse than the virus itself. However, the president will likely face resistance from many state governors who have taken it upon themselves to enforce quarantine measures locally.

In 2010 Mark Dore and Dale Minney purchased the business from Neville Brayley, who operated the business since purchasing it from Donald R. Hayes in 1984. Mr Hayes had been practising in the Hamilton area since the early 1950's.
Brayley & Hayes' main source of work is in the area of cadastral surveying. This includes subdivisions and other boundary definition surveys. In undertaking land subdivisions, whether 2 lot rural subdivisions, unit developments or large multi-lot estates, the company liaises with owners, legal advisers, planners, engineers and officers from Land Registry as appropriate. The company undertook the subdivision for the Princes Heights subdivision on Harrington Road in Warrnambool and are the surveyors for the subdivision to the rear of Gateway Plaza, and also the Lakes Edge Development in Hamilton. The company is also engaged on a regular basis by the Office of Surveyor General to undertake surveys of Crown Land for the issue of Crown Grants. These surveys have ranged in size from small Road Proclamations to the large pine plantation surveys (covering 1000's of hectares) for the Victorian Plantations Corporation and other private plantation developers. The company enjoys excellent working relationships with the Authorities and people it deals with.
In recent years the company has carried out Feature, Level and Building surveys of sites such as the Hamilton, Portland, Heywood and Edenhope Hospitals. These surveys were used for feasibility studies and design work for subsequent redevelopment. Brayley & Hayes has also undertaken Feature & Level Surveys of both the Junior and Senior Campuses of the Hamilton & Alexandra College. This data has been used for the re-development and subsequently updated to ensure it remains current. We also completed the route survey from Coleraine to Casterton for Wannon Water, to allow design and construction of the recent water supply pipeline. Route surveys for local municipalities e.g. Southern Grampians Shire Council, of road reserves for road and intersection re-design are frequently undertaken by the company. The data can be presented in both hard copy and digital format for uploading onto the consulting engineer's or architect's software.
Brayley & Hayes did all investigative survey work for Hamilton's water supply (the 1200 million litre Hayes Reservoir completed in 1993), for Wannon Region Water Corporation. This project spanned ten years, and involved the levelling of sites in the Grampians and five other plains storage sites. Rigorous A.H.D. & A.M.G. control surveys were performed for these sites. We also undertook the engineering control of the construction of the reservoir, including earthworks volume surveys and continue to do accurate monitoring of settlement of the bank. The reservoir was named in honour of the company's founder, Mr. Don Hayes.
The company is a leader in the field of using GPS equipment for use in cadastral surveys.
The company has as clients the Shires of Glenelg, Moyne, Southern Grampians and West Wimmera, local water authorities, the Office of Building and both major and minor engineering companies.
Brayley & Hayes currently use SPEAR for electronic lodgement of documents to municipalities and the Land Titles Office.

Education is one of the most important pillars for the growth of children. Ensuring access to education for all children is important, and even more so when the youngsters in question are refugees. Over half of Turkey's 2.7 million Syrian refugees are under the age of 18. Syrian children in Turkey can enroll in Turkish state schools, however many – especially older – cannot due to lack of proficiency in Turkish. Temporary Education Centres, which are recognized by the Ministry of National Education, provide education to Syrian children.
In September 2015, Save the Children started a project named "No Lost Generation" with Hatay Governorate and Hatay Directorate of National Education's permission. At the beginning of the project Save the Children was supporting 4 schools, by the end of the project 12 months later, Save the Children was supporting 53 schools, and had impacted the lives of 15,000 children.
I think the numbers are less important, and the essence of humanitarian aid for me is if everyone makes an effort to contribute in their area, and continue to add value to each other, then hope is never lost. I guess that is the most important issue for the refugees; they should never lose hope.
Education presents costs for families, many of whom cannot afford. Their children need school items, stationary, transportation fees, school uniforms, and so on. When Save the Children realised this, they collaborated with Turkish authorities and helped children and their families to reduce these costs by providing education materials kits, hygiene kits, arts and crafts kits. Children's psychology is adversely effected by the conflict and the subsequent displacement. Providing a warm atmosphere and arts and craft kits help the children cope with their trauma. Imagine a child who had to escape his/her home by running away. While she/he was running for survival, separation from family and loved ones happens too frequently. She/he may have even witnessed death. Some of them were lucky because they didn't lose any family members, and just walked and walked for days until they reach Turkish border. Arrival in Turkey marks the beginning of a whole new set of challenges. Being in a new place, with a new language, uncertain of who to trust; these are all faced by Syrians who make it to Turkey.
I have seen drawings made by children who have fled from Syria. Their pictured affected me deeply. Let me give a few examples. In one drawing there was a military tank and a child swinging from a swing on the tank's cannon. There were injured people, dead people, buildings damaged by warplanes, bombs, and lots of red – possibly to depict blood – lake (or pond) in another drawing. I questioned the world that I live in. I was deeply affected, so much so that I blamed myself as if I were responsible, although it is nonsense and I know it, but I was very much upset by this situation.
Sadness always takes part in our lives, but on the other hand there are people try to help the lives of others. Save the Children was founded in 1919 as a non-governmental organization to give children a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. I love that their focus never changed and continues today. According to last year's report they worked in 120 countries and helped more than 185 million children to date.

Is Audi Nines Europe's Answer to Red Bull Rampage?
It may as well be. This week, a brand-new mountain bike contest is dropping, with a complete re-imagination of Audi Nines. Formerly the Nine Knights, this slopestyle-meets-freeride contest changed venues and format, and might now be one of the wildest contests on dirt. Built in an abandoned stone quarry in the hills of Southwest Germany, the venue features everything from FEST-series style jumps, to Rampage-style freeride lines, and much much more.
Check out the course preview courtesy of freeriders Sam Reynolds and Sam Pilgrim.
Rampage ain't a slopestyle contest so no. It's not.

Two full-length glutamate-gated chloride channel (GluCl) cDNAs, encoding GluClalpha3 and GluClbeta subunits, were cloned from ivermectin-susceptible (IVS) and -resistant (IVR) Cooperia oncophora adult worms. The IVS and IVR GluClalpha3 subunits differ at three amino acid positions, while the IVS and IVR GluClbeta subunits differ at two amino acid positions. The aim of this study was to determine whether mutations in the IVR subunits affect agonist sensitivity. The subunits were expressed singly and in combination in Xenopus laevis oocytes. Electrophysiological whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings showed that mutations in the IVR GluClalpha3 caused a modest but significant threefold loss of sensitivity to glutamate, the natural ligand for GluCl receptors. As well, a significant decrease in sensitivity to the anthelmintics ivermectin and moxidectin was observed in the IVR GluClalpha3 receptor. Mutations in the IVR GluClbeta subunit abolished glutamate sensitivity. Co-expressing the IVS GluClalpha3 and GluClbeta subunits resulted in heteromeric channels that were more sensitive to glutamate than the respective homomeric channels, demonstrating co-assembly of the subunits. In contrast, the heteromeric IVR channels were less sensitive to glutamate than the homomeric IVR GluClalpha3 channels. The heteromeric IVS channels were significantly more sensitive to glutamate than the heteromeric IVR channels. Of the three amino acids distinguishing the IVS and IVR GluClalpha3 subunits, only one of them, L256F, accounted for the differences in response between the IVS and IVR GluClalphs3 homomeric channels.

Aretha Franklin 'in hospice care at her home' after 'long cancer battle'
Aretha Franklin is in hospice care at her home, it was reported last night.
The Queen of Soul is believed to be 'gravely ill' in the final stages of a devastating eight-year battle with pancreatic cancer.
The 76-year-old has reportedly shrunk to a frail 86lb, according to reports which first broke on Monday morning.
It has now been confirmed that the singer is in hospice care at her home in Detroit.
Showbiz 411's Roger Friedman told CNN : "She has a great family, she's surrounded by love, and the world is sending prayers.
"All further announcements will be made by her family. We just want to send love and prayers."
Family and friends have been gathering by her bedside, having been told a week ago: "Prepare yourself, she's dying."
A TMZ source claims Aretha's health has been failing for weeks, and a fortnight ago her inner circle were warned: "She could go any time."
The sad news comes nine months after the Say A Little Prayer soul legend's last performance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation party in New York.
Veteran US entertainment reporter Friedman broke the news of Franklin's condition, writing on Showbiz 411 : "Aretha is surrounded by family and people close to her.
"She will be so missed as a mother, sister, friend, cousin.
"Her legacy is larger than life. It's not just that Rolling Stone called her the number 1 singer of all time, or that she is the Queen of Soul. Long live the Queen."
The singer's friend, Evrod Cassimy said he was "saddened to report that the Queen of Soul and my good friend, Aretha Franklin is gravely ill".
He said he spoke with the singer's family today who asked him to ask for prayers.
"Some very sad news this morning, the Queen of Soul, Ms Aretha Franklin, is gravely ill," Evrod revealed on his local TV station Local 4 WDIV Detroit.
His voice cracking, he went on: "Family members confirmed the news with me this morning and right now Aretha is asking people here in the city of Detroit, where she calls home, to pray for her.
"As for her condition, her illness right now, we've been asked not to release that information but we will have much more details for you as we are allowed to share."
Branded the Queen of Soul for her groundbreaking voice, the iconic singer has battled a string of health problems in later years.
She was forced to deny she had pancreatic cancer in 2011 – later admitting to having had a tumour removed – and has previously struggled with alcoholism, obesity and a heavy smoking habit.
All three of Aretha's brothers and sisters, including her manager Cecil Franklin, died of cancer in previous years.
Her remaining family are said to be asking fans for "prayers and privacy", according to Showbiz411 , which claims Aretha was "miraculously" able to perform her last public show in August 2017 at Philadelphia's Mann Center despite "fighting exhaustion and dehydration".
Aretha was the subject of fake death rumours last November after a tweet from a fake account went viral.
Responding to the hoax later the same day, the 75-year-old legendary singer told Us Weekly in a statement: "I'm doing well generally, all test have come back good."
She added: "I've lost a lot of weight due to side effects of medicine, it affects your weight … Thanxxxx for your concern."
It came after Aretha cancelled a string of performances due to ill health, including some last summer.
She told a Detroit radio station back in February 2017: "I must tell you, I'm retiring this year."
In more than five decades as a soul superstar, Aretha has won 18 Grammy awards, sold more than 75million records and sung at three presidential inaugurations – including Barack Obama's in January 2009.
Franklin said she felt "exuberant" about her plans and at the time vowed tol continue to do "some select things, many one a month, for six months out of the year".
Reflecting on her stellar life, she said: "I feel very, very enriched and satisfied with respect to where my career came from, and where it is now.
"I'll be pretty much satisfied, but I'm not going to go anywhere and just sit down and do nothing. That wouldn't be good either."

Creating custom reports is an ADVANCED feature for power Finale users. As part of each paid plan, we can create custom reports for you. This can be done by sending an email to service@finaleinventory.com with a concise description of the report you'd like.
If you are interested in trying to create the custom report yourself, please duplicate an existing report FIRST so you can a copy of the original.
The Rows - Finale's solution for creating custom reports without programming is based on Excel. The idea is that to create a report you start out with a giant virtual spreadsheet called a data set that has rows for all the items that may contribute to the report and columns for all the fields that could be relevant to the report. For example, if you are making a report to summarize all the invoices in a date range, your data set begins as the list of all the rows of all the invoices. Another way to think about the data set is to imagine printing out all your invoices and taping them together one on top of the other in a long, tall list of invoice rows. After choosing the data set, you select some filters to remove the rows that don't apply. For example, if your report covers a specific date range, you'd filter out the rows from the invoices outside of that range.
The Primary Columns - After specifying the rows in the data set, you specify the fields that you want to see in the report. These fields become the columns. For example, if you just wanted to see the total amount invoiced to the customers and didn't want any other details then you really only want two fields: Customer and Invoice Total. There are more details for choosing how the totals add up, but specifying the rows and columns like this is basically how you generate a custom report in Finale. Tallying the totals has the effect of combining the rows that are tallied together, which whittles down the tall list of rows into just the rows you see in the report. What began as a giant virtual spreadsheet is now the report that you see.
Formatting - Once you've defined what goes into the report, you have the option to layout the information in a page template that you define to look any way you want. If you've printed an invoice or sales order in Finale, then you've already used reports maybe without even knowing it, because the documents printed by Finale are just reports that are formatted with custom page templates!

directed by Sam Raimi
featuring Bruce Campbell, Embeth Davidtz, Marcus Gilbert, Ian Abercrombie, Richard Grove
The third in director Sam Raimi's stylish, comic book-like horror trilogy that began with The Evil Dead (1982), this tongue-in-cheek sequel offers equal parts sword-and-sorcery-style action, gore, and comedy. Bruce Campbell returns as the one-armed Ash, now a supermarket employee ("Shop Smart...Shop S-Mart") who is transported by the powers of a mysterious book back in time with his Oldsmobile '88 to the 14th century medieval era. Armed only with a shotgun, his high school chemistry textbook, and a chainsaw that mounts where his missing appendage once resided, the square-jawed, brutally competent Ash quickly establishes himself as a besieged kingdom's best hope against an "army of darkness" currently plaguing the land. Since the skeleton warriors have been resurrected with the aid of the Necronomicon (the same tome that can send Ash back to his own time) he agrees to face the enemy in battle. Ash also finds romance of a sort along the way with a beautiful damsel in distress, Sheila (Embeth Davidtz), and contends with his own doppelganger after mangling an important incantation.

The analysts say the initial launch will be 'similar to the most updated 4G networks'
A recent report from Scotiabank examines Rogers' long-term vision for 5G and analyzes the carrier's proposed five competitive advantages.
Rogers hosted an analyst meeting regarding its vision for the next generation of wireless technology at the carrier's 5G-ready flagship store in Toronto.
During the meeting, the carrier said that it faces an advantage because it has certainty with its equipment since it primarily uses Ericsson, while its national competitors currently face uncertainty with Huawei. The Canadian government has yet to decide if Huawei will be allowed to participate in the deployment of 5G across the country.
However, the report notes that Bell's use of Nokia could mitigate some of the potential disadvantages, mainly related to the scope and timing of early 5G launches.
Further, the report outlines that Rogers believes its significant low-band spectrum, especially its 600 MHz, will be an important differentiator because it provides five times the coverage compared to mid-band spectrum.
"However, due to the advancement of the latest versions of 4G (LTE-Advanced with carrier aggregation), the first generation of 5G is expected to deliver end-user capacity/speed that will be 'similar' to the most updated 4G networks," the report notes.
The analysts predict that initial launches in 2020 will be a marketing game and that the real enhancements will come on 5G when 3.5 GHz spectrum is deployed after the government auction, which will take place sometime this year.
They write that "Rogers is expected to launch the first phase of 5G in 2020. Given the user experience sounds similar between the first phase of 5G and the most advanced versions of 4GLTE, we would categorize this as more of a marketing move."
The analysts also don't believe that timing gaps in initial 5G launches will have an impact on competition.
Additionally, the report notes that "Rogers believes that owning the entire national network reduces the friction that a network sharing agreement could cause when establishing strategic partnerships or selling 5G applications."
The carrier believes that sharing passive infrastructure such as fibre backhaul and towers makes sense. However, it believes that active sharing of RAN and spectrum makes less sense because these elements differentiate the 5G network experience.
The analysts state that during the build-out phase for 5G, not sharing will lead to higher upfront costs due to the larger network.
Further, Rogers also believes that its strategic relationships are a benefit as it has partnerships with academic institutions and technology partners. For instance, it partnered with the University of British Columbia to launch its first 5G-powered smart campus. Similarly, it partnered with the University of Waterloo to create the first 5G smart campus in central Canada.
The analysts believe that early partnerships should put the carrier in a better position to retain some of the economics of the network over time.
Lastly, Rogers believes that its leadership position in IoT solutions in 3G and 4G put it in a strong position to grow 5G IoT solutions.
Rogers provided MobileSyrup with a statement on its vision for the future stating that: "Our multi-year 5G strategy and investments will help fuel industries and drive Canada's digital economy for decades to come."

'Pinch City' Hit at the Boom
Published: Fri, September 12, 2014 12:35 PM Updated: Fri, September 12, 2014 5:34 PM
"The Hit of Pinch City" is a great piece of meta-theatre, and all those who work in theatre, work around theatre, love theatre, or are interested in theatre should see it. So should anyone familiar with small town politics in any form…so that's almost everyone. This world premiere show is currently playing at the Boom in Oklahoma City through September 20. The musical elements alone are worth the price.
The NextStage Production writing team of Rodney Brazil and Rebecca McCauley, along with director Brett Young, have given us a beautifully layered and well written script about the dying town of Pinch City, Oklahoma, and a last-ditch attempt to save the town with a theatre production starring its one famous former resident, the great star "Reina" (Elizabeth Brooks). Musical interludes advance the story while adding to the theatrical layering.
This creates issues in the town theatre, since the production is an annual event and the local actress who has traditionally held the leading role must now be demoted. McCauley does a lovely job as "Cherrie" who is also the newspaper owner and married to the usual director, "Jeffrey," played with genial confusion by Mike Waugh. The famous director imported for the town-saving production, the often absent "Derek," is played with understated egotism by Young.
Anchoring the local theatre is the stolid and dependable "John" who maintains everything and has long history with everyone. The local tart (doesn't every small town have one?) "Cozy" is played with hilarious and predatory deadpan comic timing by Erin Heatly.
Returning to her roots, "Reina" brings an entourage composed mostly of her daughter "Charlotte." This pivotal role is played with exactly the right level of ingenuous humor and disingenuous self-awareness by Jessa Schinske, who stepped into the role only days before opening and gave a flawless performance. "Charlotte" does not know who her father is, but soon speculation links "Reina" and various Pinch City men, who may or may not be eager to claim the role.
The real ingénue is "Teddy," a young Pinch City native who is interested in performing and doing his bit to save his town—but who wants to go out into the world and experience life. Played with stolid innocence by Kellan King, "Teddy" makes connections with Charlotte and re-examines his life choices.
In the course of the production, the characters all re-evaluate their relationships to each other and to the town of Pinch City and its history. A local crustacean takes the stage for a moment, bringing a scarlet moment to the production, and in the end, relationships are re-organized and Pinch City survives—although perhaps not quite as its residents expected. The moments of musical reflection are a combination of original work and brilliant parody, and all are delivered with charm and gusto by the cast.
"The Hit of Pinch City" is produced by NextStage Productions at the Boom, 2218 NW 39th Street, Oklahoma City, at 8:00 on Friday and Saturday nights through September 20. Dinner service (not included in the ticket price) begins at 6:30; the Boom offers a rotating menu of excellent fare, including a different cheesecake each night.

FEATURED ARTIST | Kris Pierce
Kris Pierce is an artist working in Dallas, Texas. The primary focus of his practice is the dynamic between our virtual and physical identities. Pierce received a BFA in Studio Art from the University of North Texas, Denton.
Pierce's work examines themes such as power, value, and states of consciousness within the context—and through the lens—of our modern digital world. His work explores how some of the cornerstones of the human experience, such as love and status, have become amplified and abstracted on the platforms of modern technology like social media and anonymous message boards. Life, death, influence, authenticity, and relationships take on new meaning and forms in the digital realm, existing and thriving outside the norms of physical society. Pierce explores these themes in his work through a variety of emerging technologies such as virtual reality, 3-D modeling, game engines, and computer-generated video.
He has exhibited internationally and nationally in museums, galleries, and public spaces, having had recent solo and group exhibitions at the Hiroshima Art Center, Japan; CICA Museum, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea; Gallerie Se Konst, Falun, Sweden; Réunion, Zurich, Switzerland; Circuit 12 Contemporary, Dallas; Blue Star Contemporary, San Antonio; The Old Jail Art Center, Albany, Texas; The Dallas Museum of Art; and RL Window, Ryan/Lee, New York City.
Pierce recently completed Untitled (Plinths), a series of three cast-concrete sculptures commissioned through Fort Worth Public Art (FWPA) and permanently installed at the Fort Worth Community Art Center (1300 Gendy St. Fort Worth, TX 76017). Each plinth honors the spirit of the building's original Bauhaus-informed architecture by principal designer Herbert Bayer, whose 1925 universal alphabet served as inspiration for the plinths' minimal, balanced forms.
These works have created an exterior gallery for temporary outdoor artworks, a new program of the Fort Worth Community Arts Center that will make its debut in Spring 2020.

The Lufthansa Group announced that it would be placing an order for up to 16 additional aircraft, as approved by the Supervisory Board. Deliveries are planned until 2022 for the order that is valued at a 2.1 billion Euros list price. The order is split between the two major manufacturers: Boeing and Airbus.
Boeing was the beneficiary of an order of four aircraft from the Group with a split of two 777-300ER aircraft and two 777F aircraft. The two -300ERs will be delivered to Swiss International Air Lines and are expected to arrive in early 2020.
The new aircraft will be used in expansion and will be added to the already existing fleet. The 777Fs will be delivered to Lufthansa Cargo and are set to replace the airline's aging MD-11F aircraft. The two additional SWISS aircraft will bring their Boeing 777 fleet to a total of 12 aircraft. The Lufthansa freighters will bring the Cargo fleet to a total of seven Boeing 777 Freighters.
The other side of the order includes up to 12 Airbus A320 aircraft. This includes the conversion of six options to firm orders of the Airbus A320neo. These aircraft will be delivered in 2022. The order also includes up to six additional A320ceo (current engine option), depending on availability.
It is planned for the A320ceos to be delivered to Lufthansa this year in an attempt to offset A320neo delays. The A320neo order will be replacement aircraft upon their arrival. It is unknown if the A320ceos will be new builds from Airbus or if they are used aircraft.
According to a press release from the airline group, the SWISS and Lufthansa Cargo orders are a reflection on increased economic success in the first quarter. In the release it is reported that SWISS had over a nine percent profit margin while Lufthansa Cargo has over ten percent profit margin.
The Lufthansa Group is the overarching name for Lufthansa as well as their subsidiaries including Austrian Airlines, Swiss International Air Lines, Brussels Airlines, and Eurowings, and Germanwings.

This group meets regularly over the year at roughly 6 week intervals. Anyone interested in PCP from any perspective is welcome to attend. There is no charge for the meetings other than a £5 fee to cover sandwiches and refreshments for everyone.
We meet at my home in Heslington, York which is easily accessible by bus from York station and near the University of York.
You don't have to be an expert in PCP and people bring what they are working on or interested in from a PCP perspective. We try to give everyone time to talk about what they are doing and conversation is usually very interesting, supportive and sometimes challenging – so we hope there is something for everyone who attends.
Our meetings begin at 11 am and finish at 3 pm so we hope people will have time to travel before and afterwards.
Please do join us even if you can only come for one meeting . You would be most welcome.

Selective gastric vagotomy was introduced in 1947 by Jackson1. Modifications of the procedure were suggested by Moore and Franksson2,3. None of these surgeons combined selective gastric vagotomy with a drainage procedure. As a result, the operation was abandoned until Griffith and Harkins demonstrated the need for a drainage procedure, first in animals in 1955, and then in man in 19604,5. Subsequently, the operation was popularized by several surgeons in the treatment of duodenal ulcer. The main benefit claimed for selective gastric vagotomy over truncal vagotomy was a marked decrease in the incidence of episodic postvagotomy diarrhoea. The most significant, prospective, double-blind, randomized clinical trial comparing selective and truncal vagotomy was published by Kennedy et al. in 19736. They showed that patients undergoing selective vagotomy had less postvagotomy diarrhoea, less ulcer recurrence, and superior Visick clinical status. Based on this study and that of Harkins et al.7, the author believes that selective gastric vagotomy is superior to truncal vagotomy in the treatment of duodenal ulcer. The operation takes slightly longer to perform, however, and few surgeons have learnt to do it well. For this reason, it has not attained the same popularity as truncal vagotomy.


This "launcher" is similar to blow pipes except that you don't need to blow. It is very simple - all it needs is a PVC pipe and a balloon.
The projectile can be a pencil or a stick or even an arrow. I just chose to launch pencils. Though it is simple, make no mistake about it - it's not for children. It's a powerful instrument and avail caution while using it.
Just by a simple pull and release, the pencil can be shot to more than 10 feet!! So it is quite powerful.
You can use any pipe depending on what you have access to. As far as length and diameter are concerned, its not rocket science.
If the pipe is short the pencil will lose lesser energy by friction but as length increases the direction of the pencil's movement is more controlled.
The balloon as well, pick one so that you can just wrap one end of the pipe with it.
Tape the balloon strongly to the pipe.
Paint the pipe if you wish but that's it! The launcher is complete!!!!
All the videos in this instructable were taken inside my home. I thought its better to take these videos inside, because one can see the pencil in a much better way.
Try it out and you will certainly be amazed at how far the pencil can reach in an open ground.
Put the pencil down the "barrel".
Pull the balloon and release. The pencil should shoot out!
Make sure most part of the pencil is inside the stretched part of the balloon. But leave at least some part of the pencil within the pipe. This will direct the pencil to come straight through the pipe.
You can even have your own version of darts and archery mixed with this launcher. Or even use it to launch model rockets straight up. In the video below, the ceiling is about 15 feet high from the launcher. But look at the force with which the pencil hits the ceiling (watch the top left corner of the video).
The problem is the faster I launch the pencil the harder it is to capture it on my ordinary camera (obvious from the above video). So, in the next video I use the same launcher to propel a paper plane at obviously lesser power.
It's all about how you use it and more importantly how much fun you have in doing so!
Cool! Nice job! It's awesome you can use it to launch paper airplanes!

Rogers Morgan Govender MBE (born 29 June 1960) is a South African Anglican priest. Since 2006, he has been Dean of Manchester. He is a sixth generation South African.

Early life
Govender was born on 29 June 1960 in Durban, Province of Natal, South Africa. He is a sixth generation South African of South Indian ancestry. In 1983, he entered St Paul's College, Grahamstown, an Anglican theological college, to train for ministry in the Church of the Province of Southern Africa.

Ordained ministry
Govender was ordained deacon in 1985 and priest in 1986. He was priest in charge at St Mary's Church, Greyville, Durban from 1988 until 1993 when he was transferred to St Matthew's Hayfields, Pietermaritzburg where he was rector and subsequently St Thomas's Musgrave Road. He graduated from the University of Natal with a Bachelor of Theology (BTh) degree in 1997. He emigrated to the United Kingdom in 2002 after 15 years of service in the Diocese of Natal.

On arrival in England, he was priest-in-charge of Christ Church, West Didsbury in South Manchester and Area Dean of Withington. In 2006 he was appointed Dean of Manchester. The Dean is based in Manchester, England and is the head of the Chapter of Manchester Cathedral. At the time of his appointment was England's first black cathedral dean, and the third most senior black or Asian churchman in the Church of England.  His aim is to accommodate people of all races in the inner city.

Govender filled in for Tom Hanks in a spoofed Da Vinci Code movie poster in 2006, to promote a "Da Vinci Code Mass" at the cathedral intended to address issues raised by the controversial book, and the movie based on it.  The mass was inspired by a poll revealing that the book and movie may have undermined public trust in the Catholic Church.

Personal life
Govender is married to Celia. They have two children, Jonathan and Claire.

Honours
In 2018 Govender was awarded an MBE for his services to interfaith relations and to the community in Manchester.

New Panamera Broke The AMG's Record in Nürburgring
Author: Saeideh Hadavand | August 13, 2020
Nürburgring, the place where is so popular in Auto industry and also the things that happens there is also so worthy for fans, companies and also press. Now, it was the time for the Porsche to hit this ring with its unique sedan, Panamera. This car with its platform was first in 2017 announced and till now is without any doubt the Porsche lover's desire.
The Porsche company is actually considering some mid-cycle updates for Panamera to keep it ahead of the pack. The peeps are publishing new teaser campaign about the Panamera's performance which was recorded on July 24. As most press confirmed it, this car is the fastest Porsche four-door sedan in the 'executive cars' category. Panamera hit the Mercedes AMG GT 63 record.
By the way it wasn't the first time that Porsche recorded a better time in the rings. Back to 2019, Lion did it too. What was revealed for Panamera's record Is 7 minutes and 10 seconds. But this numbers seems some how optimistic. So, with another observation which was done by an independent expert, Porsche had the record of 7:29.81. As the firm also said, this record is much more than enough for an executive car.
This new Panamera, did much better than the old version of it, which was also on the same road in 2016. Lars Kern was the driver of both cars and drive them in the same 20.6 km and 20.83 km layout in Nürburgring. Kern finished the shorter ring just in 7:25.04. by these times Porsche improved the record which was belonged to AMG GT 63 S.
Porsche Panamera has some advantages like upgraded engine, and chassis. And also, the electromechanically roll stabilizer system did much better. Moreover, this car was equipped with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. New derivative has more power and sharper steering. Any way the firm restrained to give technical information of its new Panamera. What they confirmed, is better body control and stability through the corners.
Company would reveal information at the end of the month. Then we would actually understand what special features made this car so powerful.

Angie's List has been going through some changes, but the presence of co-founder Angie Hicks in the site's advertising remains a constant.
Hicks, a campaign fixture for two decades, appears front and center this week in Arnold Worldwide's first work for the site. The "Home Is Where Our Heart Is" campaign alerts consumers that they can find all things for their homes on the site, rather than just crowdsourced reviews on the topic. Angie's List aims to be the go-to destination for consumers seeking service providers and contractors.
Hicks delivers an on-screen pitch at the start of each ad, then narrates brief vignettes about the foibles of home maintenance.
Arnold executive creative directors David Register and Wade Devers co-directed the spots, working through Arnold's in-house production unit, Studio 6. The opening scenes were shot in the hallways of the client's Indianapolis headquarters.
The work marks the first phase of an integrated campaign that includes more videos, as well as digital, social and experiential activations. In a broader sense, Angie's List is seeking to add another dimension to its brand beyond the crowdsourced contractor reviews for which it is best known. (Those evaluations aren't even mentioned in the new ads).
"This campaign represents a significant step forward," Arnold managing partner Don Lane told Adweek. "Angie's List offers so much more than reviews, which have become table stakes. They created the category and remain the gold standard in home services, so we are presenting the brand as being uniquely qualified to help people protect the thing that matters most: home."
"Home Is Where Our Heart Is" drops as Angie's List finds itself struggling against heightened competition from sundry rivals ranging from Amazon.com and Kudzu to Yelp. To broaden its appeal, the venerable site is scrapping its membership model in favor of a tiered subscription plan.
For the 2015 fiscal year, Angie's List recorded the first profitable year in company history, though its fourth-quarter earnings missed Wall Street projections, and year-over-year membership revenue for the period dipped 8 percent.
Through the new ads, the company hopes to build momentum and perhaps position itself as a more attractive acquisition target—one able to command a higher purchase price. Last November, the company rejected a $512 million buyout bid from Barry Diller's IAC/Interactive Group.
Arnold is also seeking traction. The Havas-owned agency has lost some luster in recent years, along with clients like the University of Phoenix.
Before adding Angie's List, Arnold's most recent noteworthy new-business score was the National Association of Realtors, which tapped the agency last summer. Arnold debuted its first work for NAR last month. That campaign spoofs American Gladiators-style physical-challenge game shows.


As part of the large-scale MMRI work, the USM was awarded the First in the World (FITW) grant by the United States Department of Education in 2015. The project (FITW MMRI) intends to bring together Maryland's public two-year and four-year institutions to develop and evaluate a high-quality statistics pathway that is relevant for students' chosen career, and courses that are easily transferable through statewide articulation agreements.
The theory of action, partner institutions, research questions, and timeline are described in the FITW MMRI Project Overview.


Off-road vehicles, including dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles, can be a great activity for most of the year, making them a common hobby in Maryland. However, off-road vehicles also pose a serious danger to riders, passengers, and pedestrians alike.
As is the case with those who operate vehicles on the road, the operators of off-road vehicles must take certain precautions to avoid causing a Maryland ATV accident. This includes operating the vehicle in a responsible manner, following common etiquette when off-road, and remaining free from the effects of drugs and alcohol while operating the vehicle.
When an ATV accident does occur, there may be multiple parties who are liable to those injured in the accident. This may include the owner of the land where the injury occurred, another driver who caused the accident, or the manufacturer of a faulty or defective part.
Earlier this month, an appellate court in California issued a written opinion in a motorcycle accident case requiring the court to determine if the plaintiff assumed the risk of injury involved in riding a dirt bike. Specifically, the court was tasked with determining whether the defendant's reckless conduct exposed the plaintiff to risks above and beyond those normally encountered while riding a dirt bike. Ultimately, the court concluded that the plaintiff assumed the risk of injury by riding the dirt bike and that the defendant did not expose her to additional risks. This concept may be relevant to Maryland motorcycle accident victims as well.
The plaintiff and the defendant were in a relationship. The plaintiff was new to riding dirt bikes when she met the defendant, but the two made the activity a joint hobby. One day, the couple decided to take about a two-hour ride to some dunes. The plaintiff was hesitant, and she explained to the defendant that she did not like riding in sand because it made her uncomfortable. Evidently, the defendant was present one time when the plaintiff fell while riding in sand.
The defendant "guaranteed" that there was a hard-packed dirt road the whole way and that the plaintiff would not have to ride in the sand. The plaintiff then reluctantly agreed to go.
Earlier this week in a tragic accident in Glen Burnie, one teen lost his life when he was involved in a fatal motorcycle accident. According to a report by WUSA 9, the accident occurred around 11:30 in the evening on Crain Highway North and Jackson Avenue Northwest.
Evidently, there were two teens on the dirt bike that was heading south on Crain Highway. As the teens approached the intersection of Crain Highway and Jackson Avenue, the driver of a northbound Lexus made a left-hand turn in front of the dirt bike. Not having enough time to avoid the accident, the driver of the dirt bike crashed into the side of the Lexus, sending both on board the bike flying. Neither the driver nor the passenger was wearing a helmet.
The driver of the dirt bike was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. He died a few days after the accident from the injuries he sustained. The passenger on the bike was also admitted to the hospital, although with non-life-threatening injuries. He is expected to fully recover.
