Could you be missing something really important in your vision for systemic innovation, just because you can't tolerate bible thumpers and fundamentalists?
Now, before you stop reading because the R word was mentioned, understand that the man provoking the question, philosopher Alain de Botton is an atheist. In a persuasive RSAlecture (and book 'ReligionforAtheists') he suggests too many of us have thrown the baby out with the fundamentalist bathwater. And our culture is poorer for it. If you are an organizational or systems designer trying to engage diverse communities with a compelling central vision, you could learn something from religion, if not from the religious lessons themselves. You can certainly learn from the methodologies for community building and teaching.
De Botton advocates a 'pick and miss' approach for finding approaches in religion that might be helpful in informing your life work and personal development.
It isn't so much that religion offers guidance, morality and consolation as it is that people want or need it. You could think of this idea as being expressed in 12 step addiction recovery programs where people need the sense of a 'higher power' or cause in order to stay motivated in changing themselves. It's the power of group psychology that we see in chauvinism and tribalism. Systemic change can be scary and not everyone can shrug off that fear with science as suggested by Gregory Berns in TheIconoclast. People with very rational minds feel the need for communion less than others but, if you're striving for inclusivity and big change, you may have more luck building bridges by at least considering the needs of others that may be mysterious to you..
You don't think for one minute that people will remember what you've told them just once do you? Effective learning, especially learning meaningful enough to effect real-life change, needs to be buttressed. And that doesn't mean just saying something over and over again. It also means expressing the idea in different ways. So in religions, learning sticks because variations on the same sermons are preached endlessly and those messages are echoed in songs and other ways.
What's with all the kneeling, bowing, prayer gestures, processions and sacramental rituals? Well, once again it's about learning. As education experts will tell you, learning does not all happen in the head. Almost everything you learn is connected with a muscle memory, which suggests that the more any experience connects learning with muscle, the better the learning. It's another kind of buttressing. It's also about tribalism. Every sacrament is shared in the community and signals each member as a member of an exclusive club.
How much time do you give yourself to reflect on what's going on in your life and the world? On what's really important? With the stress and hectic nature of business life today, the answer most likely is very little. We are constantly responding to problems with template responses for efficient solutions. How innovative is that? Religions have their own calendars and clocks that remind subscribers to go to church, to pray, to celebrate and so on. If you dismiss all of that devoted time as silly tradition and superstition (and some of it may be), you're missing an important point. It's hard to stay focused on big changes, especially if they sometimes seem unattainable or if they seem so alien that others laugh at you for trying. Religion would suggest you schedule time to reflect on the big picture as an important reality check — the reality your group wants for your industry or community rather than the reality of those who think it is hopeless to change.
Love them or hate them, you have to admit fire-breathing evangelists are entertaining. It's not important whether they're spewing gobbledy-gook or valuable lessons. The fact is dynamic preachers get much more than just heads bobbing mildly in agreement; they get ecstatic, holy rolling, noisy, chain reaction receptions from audiences. They make their passion and convictions infectious. Their congregations remember, and they share, and they act. But nevermind, just go back to your rational and reasonable — and safe — delivery of sound ideas for innovation. Passion and flare in how you present them are just for the simple-minded and superstitious.
Building shared visions and overcoming the fear of change requires something more than merely rational appeals to the selfish needs of individuals. This Easter holiday, I bow to my believer friends who have found the collective power to do so much good in the world. I do get the lesson: "God is love", and "God is in each of us", and there is incredible power in the belief of God. If we can leave the religious debate at that then we have common ground for building a wonderful future together. I think God would like that.


 No mobile for Vidya Balan on the sets of Tumhari Sulu!
No mobile for Vidya Balan on the sets of Tumhari Sulu!
Vidya Balan who is all set to portray the role of a Radio Jockey (RJ) in Suresh Triveni's Tumhari Sulu wants to leave no stone unturned to ensure that her character looks and sounds real on screen. Being the versatile actor she is the powerhouse performer has restrained herself from using cell-phone on the movie set to stay focused for her role and give it her best shot.


Get a grip on this: sometimes in life and fashion, you come to find that you need a little bit of structure. And so the top handle remains one of my favourite kinds of architectural accessory. Boasting a boxy silhouette, genteel attitude and when elegantly wrapped with a silk scarf, the bag lends a polished finish to all ensembles.
Whether worn on the elbow or merely being toted, the top handle is a ladylike winner and can take you from brunch to the office without losing serious style factor. Certainly, nothing defines the upcoming summer season like the vigour of a perfect mustard bag.
Moving on, it's time to make room in your wardrobe because one can never have too many bucket bags. The spacious accessory is both roomy and unfussy, and I guarantee that it will stay on for plenty of years. In particular, this evolved version features nappa calf leather with gunmetal finish and a top resin handle for you to literally grab and go.
Coming back to our favourite Dijon-mustard, it's about time you got the memo: Colour is in, and colour is everywhere. Open your heart.

USI Volleyball adds Bastuba to coaching staff
By Bethany Miller | July 3, 2019 at 2:34 PM CDT - Updated July 3 at 2:34 PM
EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) -University of Southern Indiana Volleyball Head Coach Randi Raff announced the addition of Bryan Bastuba to the Screaming Eagles' coaching staff for the 2019 season. He will assist Raff in all aspects of the USI Volleyball program.
"I'm elated to have Bryan on board," Raff said. "Not only does Bryan exhibit the character and values we seek in the USI Volleyball family, he also comes highly recommended by well-respected members of the volleyball community. I feel confident Bryan will have an immediate and positive impact in our gym and around campus."
Bastuba comes to USI after spending the previous two years as an assistant coach at the University of Northwestern Ohio (Lima), where he helped guide the team to a 48-25 record throughout his tenure.
At Northwestern Ohio, Bastuba aided in the Racers' recruiting and budgetary efforts as well as game day and practice planning. His work helped the Racers to a 26-win season in 2018, the fourth most wins in program history.
Prior to Northwestern Ohio, Bastuba was an Assistant Coach for Urbana University (Ohio) during the 2015 and 2016 campaigns. He helped lead the Blue Knights to a 20-14 overall record in 2016 and a 10-6 mark in the Mountain East Conference. Urbana, which posted its first winning season in 2016 since it transitioned in the NCAA, finished second in the conference in hitting percentage and was in the top 25 in Division II in team kills.
In addition to his duties at Northwestern Ohio and Urbana, Bastuba has spent the previous seven years coaching the club level with Mintonette Sports, helping his athletes to college commitments across all three NCAA Divisions as well as NAIA and NJCAA.
"Bryan has a wealth of experience including assisting in training some of the top club prospects in the country at Mintonette Sports," Raff explained. "I'm looking forward to adding his talent and work ethic to our already strong group."
A native of Columbus, Ohio, Bastuba earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Ohio Dominican University in 2012. He graduated Magna Cum Laude with a minor in Spanish.

You may arrange for us to give talks and/or seminars to other horticultural related organizations in your area (up to 3) on the day that we are scheduled to meet with your group and share the cost of our fee and expenses with them. Most of our lectures are Power Point presentations and require a Power Point projector and 1 large screen.

If visiting your organization requires us to stay overnight, we will be comfortable and happy staying in a hotel, but we prefer to stay with a fellow gardener in their home. Our expenses should be a lot less for you if this could be arranged. If you have a raffle for a garden consultation, it could help raise funds for your seminar. Whoever wins the raffle has Brent for dinner, they put him up for the night and they have him in their garden the next morning for a brief garden consultation. Everyone wins!
Many organizations have a Daffodils for North American Gardens and/or Tulips for North American Gardens book sale and signing in conjunction with the talk/seminar and the profits from this sale usually pay for most of the expenses. They can be purchased outright (10 minimum) for $8.00 each or on consignment for $10 each.

Different Strokes: European Tour steps up a gear at British Masters
Galgorm Castle event gets green light . . . Word of Mouth . . . Twitter Twaddle . . . In the Bag
Tue, Jul 21, 2020, 06:00 Updated: Tue, Jul 21, 2020, 09:38

So far, so good . . . now, the European Tour's rebooting – which got off to a seamless enough restart with the two back-to-back dual badge events in Austria – clicks into something of a higher gear with this week's British Masters, which runs from Wednesday to Saturday at Close House resort near Newcastle in England.
Unlike the stellar fields of previous years, however, the tournament – with a reduced prize fund of €1.25 million – will be missing most of Europe's leading players who have positioned themselves stateside with the PGA Tour's earlier restart and bigger pots of prizemoney, and of course given the lead-up time to the upcoming WGCs, US PGA and FedEx Cup series, proving more attractive.
In fairness to Lee Westwood, the lure of greenbacks on the other side of the Atlantic didn't tempt him to jump ship. Westwood has stayed put to host the tournament, just as he did in 2017 when Paul Dunne spectacularly won with a hole-out on the finishing hole to outgun a watching Rory McIlroy.
Really it is not so much about the strength of the field this time around as the fact that the event is taking place at all.
The European Tour ground to a halt after the Qatar Masters in early March due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the return to any type of schedule, with protocols put into place and tested for the past two weeks in Austria, has only come about with some outside the box thinking that will see an initial run of six tournaments confined to England and Wales, the so-called UK Swing.
For those who perform, though, there is the added incentive of exemptions into the US Open at Winged Foot in September.
Westwood, whose win in the Abu Dhabi Championship back in January was the 44th worldwide of his career, has stuck to his commitment to hosting the British Masters.
"It's a tough job and a tiring one at that. It was tough to do it [in 2017] that week and play golf too. I sort of ran out of steam towards the end, but it is going to be different this year. No crowds, less media, which will allow me to focus more time on trying to win the golf tournament."

Galgorm Castle event gets green light
No word just yet on when, or if, the DDF Irish Open will be added to the tournament schedule (a case of fingers crossed that it actually does go ahead) but some good news on the competitive front with confirmation that the Northern Ireland Open will go ahead at Galgorm Castle outside Ballymena in Co Antrim.
The Challenge Tour event will have a €200,000 prize fund and will be the first of back-to-back events in Ireland on September 3rd-6th, with the Irish Challenge – at a venue yet to be confirmed – taking place the following week. The tournament is supported by the R&A's Covid-19 support fund.
"While there will be no formal graduation to the European Tour this year, adding events like this to the Road to Mallorca will provide playing opportunities and experience for the stars of the future and is hugely important to our members in the current circumstances," said Jamie Hodges, head of the Challenge Tour in confirming the event.
By the Numbers: 1/3
Séamus Power – who contended in the recent Rocket Mortgage Classic, eventually finishing tied-12th – returns to the PGA Tour for this week's PGA Tour stop at the 3M tournament in Minneapolis. With Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and Graeme McDowell all taking a week's break, the Waterfordman is the only Irishman in the field.
Paul Dunne – who hasn't played competitively since the Portugal Masters last October and who has undergone successful surgery on a wrist injury – returns to action at the British Masters at Close House as a former champion. Dunne is joined in the field by Cormac Sharvin and Jonathan Caldwell. Gavin Moynihan is first reserve and will hope to get a place in the field if any player withdraws before Thursday's first round.
"It was nice to get my feet wet and compete and play again" – Tiger Woods, on returning to competition at the Memorial (where he finished tied-40th). Woods was playing competitively for the first time in five months and is set to play in the US PGA in a fortnight's time but has yet to announce if he will play in next week's WGC-FedEx St Jude Invitational in Memphis.

Good luck to everyone this week at @british_masters and especially to your wonderful host @WestwoodLee have an amazing week guys – Tommy Fleetwood who has headed stateside to serve out his two-week quarantine process ahead of resuming tournament play at this week's 3M tournament and then playing in the upcoming WGC-St Jude and the US PGA, which means he misses out on the British Masters on the European Tour.
Not that it's even worth debating if a 4 handicapper could make it on the @LPGA (which some are claiming). But, just for the record – I'd take on any 4 handicapper in the world and fancy my chances. But there are plenty women golfers I'd ask for 1 shot a side!!! – Thomas Bjorn giving his tuppence worth to the nonsensical social media debate that a male four-handicapper could beat an LPGA Tour player.
Collin Morikawa (playing with Phil) is just getting a glimpse into his future after 30 years on Tour, having millions in the bank and being a complete fruitcake – Eddie Pepperell giving his take on Phil Mickelson using a putter from 35 yards off the green during the final round of the Memorial.

On this day: July 21st, 2013
On the morning of the final round of the 142nd British Open at Muirfield, there was a sense of deliverance. That, finally, Lee Westwood – one of the most respected players on the European Tour – would lay claim to a Major championship to put gloss to a storied career. The Englishman held a two-stroke lead over Tiger Woods and Hunter Mahan going into the final round. Of course, the presence of Woods in such close proximity added some menace to Westwood's quest.
As it happened, it wasn't Woods but another American who proved unbeatable on that day. Phil Mickelson had started the final round five strokes behind. However, a final round 66 for a three-under-par 281 – on a day when most of the other contenders laboured – meant Lefty all but knew he had won a first British Open and fifth career Major title by the time he signed his card. In the end, he had three shots to spare over runner-up Henrik Stenson while Westwood's finishing 75 saw him drop down to tied-third.
"I just thought I need to bring my A-Game, to show up and play some of my best golf. and I did. I played some of the best golf of my career. It feels amazing to have this championship," said Mickelson of getting his hands on the Claret Jug to go with his Masters and US PGA successes.

Is there any way Jon Rahm could have avoided that two-stroke penalty he received for moving the ball at the 16th hole at the Memorial?
The simple answer is yes, but only if he had noticed that the ball had moved. In such a situation, Rahm could have replaced the ball to its original position without any penalty. However, the Spaniard didn't notice that the ball moved as he prepared to play his chip shot from greenside rough and the movement was only obvious via the television cameras. As PGA Tour official Slugger White put it: "The Rule is 9.4. It was a ball at rest by the player, moved, and since he didn't put it back, he was assessed a general penalty, which is two strokes . . . when he put the club down behind the ball, it moved ever so slightly to the left, so it changed positions."

Q: Avro serialization with generic type issue I need to write a function in Scala that returns an Array of byte serializated with AvroOutputStream, but in scala i can't get the class of the generic object i'm passing in input.
Here is my util class:
class AvroUtils {

    def createByteArray[T](obj: T): Array[Byte] = {
        val byteArrayStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
        val output = AvroOutputStream.binary[T](byteArrayStream)
        output.write(obj)
        output.close()
        byteArrayStream.toByteArray()
    }
}

As you can see if tou test this code is that AvroOutputStream can't recognize the T class so it can't generate a schema for it.
Hope you can help! thanks
PS: Already tried with TypeTag and ClassTag, nothing works.

A: You need to add the proper implicits for T, namely SchemaFor and ToRecord:
def createByteArray[T : SchemaFor : ToRecord](obj: T): Array[Byte] = {
  val byteArrayStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
  val output = AvroOutputStream.binary[T](byteArrayStream)
  output.write(obj)
  output.close()
  byteArrayStream.toByteArray()
}

Cardtronics names new CFO
Business // BizFeed
Woman uses a Cardtronics ATM.
ATM owner and operator Cardtronics announced Friday that Gary W. Ferrera will become the company's chief financial officer, replacing Edward H. West as he's promoted to the company's top position.
In August, Cardtronics announced West as the company's chief executive once current CEO Steve Rathgaber retires at the end of 2017.
RELATED: Cardtronics CEO retiring, will be replaced from within
Ferrera was previously CFO at DigitalGlobe, a company that provides high-resolution Earth imagery, data and analysis. He's also been chief financial officer for Intrawest Resorts, Great Wolf Resorts, National CineMedia and Unity Media.
His experience includes overseeing periods of rapid growth, mergers and acquisitions, and initial public offerings.
"Having earned a reputation for delivering growth and performance in complex operating and market environments, Gary's demonstrated financial stewardship is well-suited to helping Cardtronics realize its next stage of growth in an evolving financial services industry," West said in the news release.

A male Santa Cruz lava lizard uses the arm of a Galapagos land iguana male as perch as both rest in the shade of an opuntia prickly pear cactus. Both reptiles are bound to a never-ending routine of seeking out the sun, only to be forced eventually to seek the refuge of shade, as they are both ectothermic.
We started our first full day in the Galapagos visiting North Seymour, a small, low-lying island just north of the channel that separates it from Baltra Island. Here we walked amongst blue-footed boobies, great and magnificent frigatebirds, and our first Galapagos land iguanas.
In the afternoon we visited Jervis Island, where we had our first opportunity to explore the underwater world while snorkeling. We finished our day with a relaxing beach stroll, observing the wading shorebirds and basking Galapagos sea lions.

'Culture is not a luxury!': the Proletkult in revolutionary Russia
Written by Lynn Mally
in 1917 Centenary
Proletkult banner
Lynn Mally tells the story of Proletkult, the experimental Soviet artistic institution which was in the vanguard of Russia's cultural revolution in 1917.
Two years after the Bolsheviks took power in Russia, Petrograd, home of the revolution, was a devastated city. Severe food shortages had prompted the exodus of large parts of the population. A general opposing the new regime began an assault on the city, bringing his troops to the suburbs. But this did not stop a respected theater director from holding a lecture series on the history of art in an organization called the Proletkult, even though the audience changed constantly because of military mobilizations. At the same time, the Proletkult theatre was preparing a performance for the second anniversary of the revolution written by a Red Army soldier.

Revolutions invariably challenge the cultural foundations of society, whether the participants consciously acknowledge this or not. Many Russian revolutionaries, like their Jacobin predecessors, welcomed the challenge. They were not willing to limit their goals to the establishment of a new political and social order. They hoped to create a new cultural order as well. But how? All the key elements were open to dispute—the meaning of culture, the revolution's power to change it, and the consequences that such change would have for the new social order taking shape.
In the early years of the revolution, the Proletkult (an acronym for Proletarian cultural-educational organizations) stood at the center of these debates. It began just before the October Revolution of 1917, starting as a loose coalition of clubs, factory committees, workers' theaters, and educational societies. By 1918 it had expanded into a national movement with a much more ambitious purpose: to define a uniquely proletarian culture that would inform and inspire the new society. At its peak in 1920 the national leadership claimed some four hundred thousand members, organized in three hundred groups distributed all across Soviet territory.
The Proletkult's vocal advocates believed that rapid and radical cultural transformation was crucial to the survival of the revolution. The leadership also insisted that the state support independent artist, scientific, and social programs that would express the values and principles of the victorious working class. While skilled artists and intellectuals could help in the process, one of the organization's core values was autonomous creation. The ideas about art, science, and daily life should emerge from workers themselves. Another bedrock principle was institutional autonomy, a demand that would soon put the organization on a collision course with the Communist Party.
First Presidium of the national Proletkult organization, 1918. The poster in the background says "Proletkult."
Although created by the revolution, the Proletkult drew on preexisting programs designed to educate and inspire the Russian working classes. The most radical was articulated by the Bolshevik intellectual, Alexander Bogdanov, who had been an outspoken opponent of Lenin after the revolution of 1905. He believed that it was essential to educate a proletarian intelligentsia that would be prepared to take over a guiding role once the socialist revolution came. Bogdanov and his allies formed several small exile schools in Western Europe where they trained gifted workers in science and cultural history. Several of these students became national Proletkult leaders after the revolution.
Factory committees and unions formed another faction with a large stake in the new organization. Legalized in the wake of the Revolution of 1905, these workers' groups quickly became involved in cultural activities. They sponsored clubs, lecture series, artistic classes, and small theatres. They also opened up libraries stocked with the Russian classics and socialist literature. Newspapers and fliers came out of this milieu, where aspiring writers published their first poems filled with imagery about life in the factory. Groups like these formed a natural base for the new organization.
Participants in adult education classes and open universities also flocked to the Proletkult. Founded by charity groups and educational societies long before the revolution, these groups offered literacy courses and lectures in science and the arts for a broad audience. They were staffed by artists and intellectuals sympathetic to mass educational projects. For them, the Proletkult appeared to be a continuation of their original goals.
Created for the first celebration of the October Revolution, the banner reads "Proletkult—Proletarian Creation Guarantees the World Commune."
The first Soviet Commissar of Enlightenment (or Minister of Culture) was Anatolii Lunacharskii, an ally of Bogdanov. He gave the Proletkult an independent budget to begin work. That money went first to the national organization, which set up a rudimentary bureaucracy and started a journal called Proletarian Culture (Proletarskaia kul'tura). As the new government took over the possessions of the old ruling class, the Proletkult claimed part of the spoils. When the Soviet government moved to Moscow, the central Proletkult took over a large mansion on the city's main boulevard. This process was repeated in the provinces, where local circles occupied public buildings and manor houses for their operations.
During the years of the Russian Civil War, from 1918-1920, the Proletkult expanded in a chaotic fashion across the country. Bolshevik power was tenuous, and the shape of the new state hardly fixed. This contributed to a kind of free-for-all, where local participants decided who would join and what their group would do. Proletkult organizations drew in seasoned workers, peasants, and office employees. Some directed outreach programs to housewives. The Tula organization even opened a short-lived children's group, led by a teenager, whose stated aim was to free children from the petty-bourgeois family structure. In its early years the Proletkult was more plebeian than proletarian.
The organization's activities were as diverse as the membership. Several circles were simply renamed people's universities, where the same teachers continued their classes with little interruption. While some art studios made posters to support the Bolshevik cause in the Civil War, others focused on color theory. In many literature workshops, participants tried their hands at worker-centered poems and stories, recounting their experiences in the factory. In others, they learned to recite the Russian classics. While most music groups attempted to put new, revolutionary words to familiar melodies, a Moscow circle became attached to the musical avant-garde and began to experiment with a seventeen note scale. Rather than serving as a catalyst for a new revolutionary culture, the Proletkult was a mirror reflecting the heterogeneous cultural world of the early Soviet years.
This period of exuberant expansion came to an end with the conclusion of the Russian Civil War. With the Bolsheviks now firmly in charge, the central government began a sober evaluation of how best to spend its scarce funds. The Proletkult was particularly vulnerable. Associated with an opponent of Lenin, it appeared to have oppositional tendencies. Its initial demand for complete independence underscored that view. Lenin personally took on the organization, denouncing its leadership and its goals. He chose to focus on the very small part of the organization's work that tended toward the experimental and avant-garde. All of this was petty bourgeois nonsense, Lenin claimed.
The attack on the Proletkult was part of a massive policy shift by the Communist Party. The working class was always a small minority in Russia, and the government now had to find a way to reach out to the peasant majority. The new state program begun in 1921, the New Economic Policy, was designed to do just that. Organizations like the Proletkult that aimed (at least in theory) to serve the proletariat alone were out of step with the changing direction. The government slashed the Proletkult's budget. Any activities that could be accomplished through regular educational channels disappeared from the curriculum. Groups that operated in areas where there were few or no industrial workers closed. Very quickly the network of hundreds shrunk to a handful.
The Proletkult now had to strike a new direction. It turned to work in clubs, and focused especially theatrical work as a way of instilling pro-Soviet messages. Ironically some groups that survived tended towards avant-garde experimentation. That was particularly the case in Moscow, where film director Sergei Eisenstein led theater workshops in Moscow. The group there also took part in musical experiments, like a concert of factory whistles. Art circles gave up easel painting and began designing posters, book jackets, and union emblems. Many other more visible associations claiming to articulate a distinctly proletarian culture sprang up during the 1920s. They used Lenin's critique to elbow the Proletkult to the sidelines.
In its reduced form, the Proletkult lasted until 1932. In that year the government disbanded all independent cultural organizations, particularly those that claimed to represent the proletariat. Instead it planned large cultural unions and began to formulate an official Soviet aesthetic, "socialist realism." The new aesthetic was presented as the expressions of a more advanced state of historical development, a move toward a classless society. The state's adoption of this new direction turned proletarian culture, supposedly the harbinger of the future, into the culture of the past. Through these new organizations the doctrine of socialist realism would take shape.
"Culture is not a luxury" might serve as the motto of the Proletkult organization. Participants' ideas on cultural creation were expansive and participatory, different from the emerging Soviet state program favoring basic education and labor discipline. The Proletkult embodied the euphoric optimism of the early years of the revolution, an optimism that fostered the belief that any cook could run the state, any union could manage the economy, and any worker could write a sonnet.
Currently, the U.S. government is preparing to rescind funding from local theatres, orchestras, and news outlets that are trying to formulate their own paths to cultural participation. In the UK, the Tory government's policy of austerity economics, combined with the massively unequal funding for arts and culture in the London area compared to the rest of the country, continue to make the arts and culture generally more and more inaccessible to most of the population. In these reactionary times, Proletkult is a brave and shining example of participatory and emancipatory cultural democracy for working people.

K-Trivia: Fun Facts About Hyeri!
Lee Hyeri, the youngest member of Girl's Day, is making quite a name for herself outside her role as an idol singer with her ventures into acting. Read on to find out some interesting facts about the multi-talented young idol-actress!
There are similarities between the characters she has played and her own personality.
In Entertainer, Hyeri plays the role of band manager Geu Rin, who has a bubbly, cheerful personality that is somewhat similar to her character Deok Sun in Reply 1988. In an email interview, Hyeri has also mentioned that people around her have told her she is as lively as the characters she plays. Judging by her variety show appearances, we're not surprised at all to hear of this!
She was once in a relationship with Tony Ahn from the legendary K-Pop group H.O.T.
Back in 2013, Hyeri and Tony Ahn admitted to being in a romantic relationship, but the most surprising fact of all was the 16-year-gap between the two of them. While the relationship has since ended, it does suggest that perhaps a large age gap isn't a deterrent for Hyeri when it comes to love!
Working on 'Entertainer' is giving her lots of good memories!
In an interview via email, Hyeri mentioned that she was able to become very close with her fellow actors, and that she wonders if she'll work on projects with such a good working atmosphere in future. She also shared that working with Ji Sung makes her very thankful, as he is always considerate towards her and she feels honoured to be able to work with a senior like him. In her words, her experience on-set has been "simply unforgettable"!
There's nothing but praise for her work on 'Entertainer' from her fellow actors and staff members!
Both Ji Sung and Min Hyuk have mentioned in interviews that they admire Hyeri's hardworking attitude and energetic, outgoing personality. Even the drama staff members are also impressed by her passion for work! As viewers, we just want to thank her for giving her all for the drama and making it such a joy to watch. Fighting Hyeri~
Hyeri's ideal type is…
Hyeri has revealed previously that she would like "a cute guy with wide shoulders", and she has also mentioned that she's a fan of Hyun Bin, who was her co-star in the drama Hyde Jekyll, Me. We're not surprised – after all, who wouldn't be a fan of Hyun Bin and that dimpled smile?

This mason jar mug is precisely laser engraved directly into each 16 oz. glass creating a frosted look. Since this is engraved onto the item it will last a lifetime! Preference options will be for the hand you hold it in and the engraving will be facing forward. (if you would like a different preference for each mug you order leave a note at checkout).
What a great way to personalize a cup for my dads birthday!


Third, be careful where you buy or from whom you buy. Avoid buying at a yard sale or flea market. This is where the real junk normally ends up. An estate sale can produce some great machines if the original owner was a collector. Machines purchased at auctions can also be fraught with problems, unless you can get an expert opinion on the machine before bidding. If you want to buy from eBay you will need to check the feedback of the seller and also only buy from a seller that accepts PayPal. This will protect you in case the item is not as described. If a seller does not accept PayPal, steer clear of him. There are also some very reputable websites that sell antique slots. These are larger dealers who can be found on Google. Always deal with a site that takes credit cards, pay with a credit card (not a debit card) and you will be protected.
Fourth, do not over-pay. Research prices online. Look at eBay and see what similar machines have sold for. You can easily search prior sales on eBay. Also search the web for the machine you are interested in. You will probably find several sites selling similar machines. Be aware that condition is everything. Unrestored antique machines in original condition are worth more than restored ones.

Bottom's up! Trio delivers for Yankees
Headley, Gregorius and Drew go 7-for-12 with 6 RBIs
By Bryan Hoch
CHICAGO -- It started from the bottom for the Yankees' lineup on Sunday, as Stephen Drew, Didi Gregorius and Chase Headley took charge of providing the thump in a 12-3 rout of the White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field.
The Nos. 7, 8 and 9 hitters in New York's order combined to go 7-for-12 with eight runs and six RBIs, wrapping up a 10-game road trip in which the Yankees posted six victories and managed to gain a half-game in the American League East race.
"When the bottom of the order is as productive as it's been the last week or so, it just makes our entire team better," said Mark Teixeira, who also homered for the fifth time in four games. "You can score a lot of runs that way."

The Yanks' biggest hit of the afternoon might have been Gregorius' two-run single, which came as part of a five-run fourth inning against White Sox ace Jeff Samardzija. The red-hot shortstop knocked a pair of hits and scored three runs, and finished the trip 14-for-32 (.438) with 12 RBIs.
"I'm actually looking at it day by day," Gregorius said. "I don't look at it as how long it's been, but actually, for me, every day it's a little bit better. I'm trying to focus on the stuff I need to work on and trying to get better at everything. I'm making a lot of adjustments and I feel a little better at the plate."
Gregorius seems to be playing with more confidence on both sides of the ball, getting consistent reps against both righties and lefties, and this stretch may be his best of the season. Drew said that he senses a more relaxed attitude from Gregorius, who seemed to play tight at times after taking over shortstop duties from Derek Jeter.

"Earlier on, he had a tough time coming in and taking the shoes of the captain, and everybody was on him," Drew said. "He's Didi, and he's got great talent, and he's played a heck of a shortstop. Earlier on, it was here and there, but he's picked it up and it's been fun to watch. Now, his hitting is getting involved, too."
Headley extended his hitting streak to 11 games, knocking a single and double in four trips while scoring three runs. Drew finished a home run shy of the cycle, legging out a two-run triple as the Yankees pulled away with three runs in the seventh inning.

Drew acknowledged that the cycle was on his mind when he came to the plate in the ninth, but he struck out against right-hander Scott Carroll.
"I've done it before in my career, and it was a good day," Drew said. "Just trying not to do too much early on, then the last at-bat, it is what it is. For me, it's a huge win. It's one step closer to where we want to be."

With the second national lockdown just over, more people were staying indoors, working from home and using an increasing number of online applications, day-to-day. This also brings wider benefits including a better work/life balance and a cleaner environmental footprint.
Unsurprisingly, internet usage has skyrocketed in recent months. According to Ofcom's latest study, UK adults now spend on average over 4 hours a day online. More than 7 in 10 adults are now making video calls weekly and online video conferencing application Zoom has seen its users go from under 700,000 to over 13 million in a period of 4 months.

Florida Woman Makes 11K Harassing Calls To Cops, Admits She 'Loves Playing This Game'
By Suneeta Sunny
Carla Jefferson was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor charge
She made phone calls to the St. Petersburg Police Department and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office
She was released Tuesday from the county jail on her recognizance.
A Florida woman was arrested for making a torrent of phone calls to non-emergency numbers of police precincts, during which she allegedly harassed, threatened, and berated the officers, reports said.
The 50-year-old suspect, Carla Jefferson, who made 11,000 phone calls to the St. Petersburg Police Department and the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office, was arrested Monday on a misdemeanor charge, Smoking Gun reported.
Jefferson's phone calls are around 10% of the total call volume to the St. Petersburg Police Department non-emergency number, the arrest report said.
During the phone conversations, Jefferson allegedly "harasses, belittles, swears at, argues with" officers who pick up her calls. If the officers hang up, she threatens to call them back again.
In a single day last month, Jefferson made 512 calls to the St. Petersburg department, the arrest report said. Jefferson has also admitted to the cops she "loves playing this game."
On some days, Jefferson has asked the officers to arrest her from her residence in St. Petersburg. However, when they respond, Jefferson "retreats inside, refuses to answer the door, and has in the past given officers the middle finger and screams at them through the windows," officer Christopher Bishop said.
"The content of these phone calls are vulgar, threatening, or obscene" and "contain extreme expletives, sexual innuendo, and belittling remarks to the communications staff," according to the court documents.
To bring an end to relentless phone calls, the police officials issued Jefferson a certified letter earlier this year, warning her that further abuse of the non-emergency line would result in criminal charges, the New York Post reported.
However, Jefferson ignored the missive, and continued the phone calls, which ended in her arrest in late June on a pair of misdemeanor counts. She was then released from custody after posting a $400 bond.
The officials decided to arrest Jefferson again this week after she continued the harassment through phone calls. She was released Tuesday from the county jail on her recognizance.
Jefferson has a previous history of convictions on multiple felony and misdemeanor battery charges, and has spent a total of six years in state prison.

US Open Golf Round 3: Zalatoris, Fitzpatrick survive beast of Open to share lead
Published: Jun. 18, 2022, 8:01 p.m.
US Open Golf - Round 3
BROOKLINE, Mass. (AP) — Will Zalatoris and Matt Fitzpatrick avoided the carnage and calamity that took down golf's best Saturday at a U.S. Open that set the tone for a final day of survival.
Zalatoris, who lost in a three-hole playoff at the PGA Championship last month, made only one bogey — a staggering feat on a beast of a Brookline course — for a 3-under 67.
"Felt like I shot a 61," Zalatoris said. "Whenever I made a mistake I was able to get away with it or pull off something miraculous."
Fitzpatrick, already a champion at The Country Club with his U.S. Amateur title in 2013, was equally steady and ran off three birdies over his last five holes for a 68. He will be in the final group of a major for the second straight time.
Most telling was they didn't make any double bogeys.
That's what knocked defending champion Jon Rahm out of the lead on the final hole. The Spaniard thought he had seen it all — including a shot he played back-handed from the base of a tree on the eighth hole — when he took three swipes from sand in two bunkers.
Rahm's first shot from a fairway bunker hit the lip and nearly rolled into his footprint. His next shot found a plugged lie in a greenside bunker, and two putts later he had a 71 and went from one ahead to one behind.
Rahm wasn't upset with his swing on the final hole. If anything, he said it was getting dark and he didn't notice his ball sitting down in the sand. The USGA sent the last group off at 3:45 p.m. to maximize television exposure.
Rahm was looking ahead instead of what he left behind.
"I have 18 holes, and I'm only one shot back," he said. "That's the important thing."
Zalatoris and Fitzpatrick were at 4-under 206, the same score of the 54-hole lead when the U.S. Open was last at The Country Club in 1988.
It's not like Rahm had full rights to the lead. This Saturday at Brookline was so wild that Rahm was among eight players who had at least a share of the lead at some point. Three of them didn't even finish among the top 10, including two-time major champion Collin Morikawa.
Morikawa, who shared the 36-hole lead with Joel Dahmen, had double bogeys on the seventh and 13th holes, and might have had a third after a chunked wedge on No. 4 except that he made a 25-foot putt for bogey. He finished with a 77.
Masters champion Scottie Scheffler was not immune. The world's No. 1 player looked to be pulling away when he holed a wedge from some 80 yards for eagle on the par-5 eighth.
He was at 6 under and cruising until his wedge to a back pin on the 141-yard 11th hole bounced hard over the green and into deep rough. He took two to the green and two puts later was no longer leading. And it only got worse as three straight bogeys followed and he shot 71.
Seven of the top 12 players going into Saturday made at least one double bogey in strong wind and cool temperatures that made this sweater weather in June.
Rory McIlroy was not on that list. His was more of a slow bleed, mostly from a putter that wasn't behaving. He made one birdie in his round of 73.
All that, and this U.S. Open was far from settled.
"It was one of the toughest days on a golf course I've had in a long time," McIlroy said. "I just needed to grind it out, and I did on the back nine. To play that back nine at even par today was a really good effort, I thought. Just kept myself in the tournament. That's all I was trying to do. Just keep hanging around."
Twenty-three players were under par going into the third round. Only nine remain with 18 holes remaining, all of them separated by three shots.
That includes a local star — maybe not the Francis Ouimet variety, but Keegan Bradley is big enough in Beantown that he heard his name chanted loudly and proudly as he marched up toward the 18th green. A former PGA champion, he called it "probably the highlight of my whole entire life."
He gave them reason to cheer. Three over through seven holes, Bradley answered with passion and birdies, five of them over his last 11 holes for a 69.
He was two shots behind with Adam Hadwin (70) and Scheffler). McIlroy was three back along with Sam Burns (71) and Dahmen, who didn't make a birdie in his round of 74 but stayed in the game because he didn't have any big blunders.
The average score was 73.5 and only seven players broke par. Denny McCarthy made the cut on the number at 3-over par. He finished his 68 before the leaders even arrived at the course. By the end of the day, he was tied for 11th, five shots behind.
The U.S. Open played every bit like one.
"I knew it was going to be hard," Dahmen said. "I didn't know it was going to be that hard."
