The Colonials pulled within a run in the top of the seventh inning had the bases loaded with two out, but Mark Costanzo's scorching line drive found the glove of third baseman Sal Lombardo to end the game and give the Red Devils their second straight Central Jersey Group IV title.
With his team trailing 2-0, Matt Granato led off the top of the seventh with his second double of the game and moved to third on a wild pitch. Mike Belka and pinch-hitter Roberto Reyes drew consecutive walks to bring up leadoff hitter and shortstop Chris Cassandra with one out.
Hunterdon Central right-hander Alex Degen retired Cassandra on a pop-up in four territory, then hit Tom Holdorf on a 1-2 pitch to force in Freehold's first run. Costanzo then smashed a shot that appeared ticketed for the left-field corner, but Lombardo got his glove up to make the back-handed snare.
The Red Devils scored both runs off Freehold Boro starter Dan Chiusano in the bottom of the third on a two-out RBI single by right fielder Collin Mason. The first run scored on the hit and second second came around when the throw to the plate in from left field skipped out of play.
Catcher Chris Reeder hit a game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the 10th inning and the Redbirds (24-2) ended an improbable run by the No. 14 Scarlet Fliers (10-13) in a wild, extra-inning battle.
Allentown appeared to have the game won on a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the ninth, but the umpires ruled that the runner who attempted to score never touched home plate after Neptune appealed the play.
Sebastian Jno-Baptiste tied the game with a two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the sixth inning after Justin Tucker singled home Neptune's first run one batter earlier.
Senior left-hander Dylan Taliaferro pitched into the eighth inning, allowing one earned run on six hits with no walks, one hit batter and seven strikeouts.
Noah Brown hit a two-run single in a four-run second inning and Zach Fillmore pitched 2 2/3 shutout innings in relief of starter Nick Simone as the Rams (18-8) beat the Indians (20-7) to win the program's first sectional title since 1967.
Brown, Zach Oddo, Garret Lange and Nolan Watson each finished 1-for-3, with Oddo driving in a run and Lange scoring one. Joey Robertson and Vaugh Walker were each 1-for-2, with Walker scoring two runs and Robertson knocking in Southern's sixth run with an RBI single in the fourth. Senior Pat Barrett also went 2-for-3 with a run scored.
Marcos Matias opened the scoring with a sacrifice fly in the first and Oddo made it 2-0 with his RBI single in the second. Cole Markley followed with a fielder's choice RBI and Brown capped the inning with his two-run single.
Simone allowed two runs on two hits while walking three and striking out three in his 4 1/3 innings. Fillmore then came on and gave up three hits and no walks while striking out three during his scoreless outing.
Southern will take on defending Group IV champion Hunterdon Central in the Group IV semifinals on Tuesday.
Freshman Alex Galvan delivered a two-out, RBI single in the top of the seventh inning to score Damaso Jaime with the game's only run and senior right-hander Connor Muly finished off a three-hit shutout to give Manasquan its first sectional championship since 1986.
Senior catcher Adam Schreck singled with two out in the seventh and after entering as the courtesy runner, Jaime stole second base. Galvan then lined a single into left field to bring home Jaime.
Muly struck out six and needed just 83 pitches to twirl his sectional final shutout. Manasquan will play Governor Livingston in Tuesday's Group II semifinal after Governor Livingston beat South Plainfield on a walk-off three-run double in the Central Jersey Group II final.
Joe Oczkowski hit a walk-off RBI single in the bottom of the eighth and the Crusaders (23-5) denied the Colts (18-10) a trip to Tuesday's sectional final.
Oczowski also singled in the game-tying run in the bottom of the sixth inning, effectively sending the game into extra innings.
CBA took a 2-1 lead with two runs in the top of the fourth inning, which included a Nick Hohenstein RBI single and an RBI double by Andrea Dalatri.
Junior Matt Barnes pitched the final two innings in taking the loss while sophomore starter Spencer Bauer held the Crusaders to one run over the first five innings.
The Hermits (23-6) stormed out to a 7-0 lead by the fourth inning and held on to beat the Caseys (21-8) and advance to Tuesday's sectional final. St. Augustine will play Bishops Eustace, while Red Bank Catholic will take on Toms River North Sunday in the Shore Conference Tournament final.
Riley Maypother and Will Gannon combined on a two-hit shutout and the Purple Roses (23-4) beat the Argonauts (16-14) to reach the South Jersey Non-Public B final Tuesday against top-seeded Gloucester Catholic.
Maypother allowed one hit and struck out seven over the first 4 2/3 innings and Gannon closed it out by allowing one in 2 1/3 scoreless innings. Maypother also hit an RBI single in the bottom of the third and Brody Maypother followed with a two-run double that capped the scoring.
John Crowley also contributed a two-run double during St. Rose's three-run first inning.

Facebook Delays Decision on Lifting Trump Ban To Coming Weeks
By Jess Tranate Apr 16, 2021 11:25 PM EDT
Facebook's Oversight Board has postponed its decision regarding former President Donald Trump's potential return to Facebook and Instagram. Trump was banned from Facebook in January after the U.S. Capitol siege.
Facebook's board, made up of attorneys, scholars, and other outside experts, had 90 days to evaluate the former president's indefinite suspension after the social media platform referred his case to the panel on January 21. However, the board stated on Friday it needed to push back the deadline because of the immense public interest regarding the case.
Why Facebook Is Postponing Decision on Trump's Ban
According to the quasi-independent Oversight Board on Friday, it will take longer than anticipated to decide whether or not Trump's prohibition should be upheld. It remarked it needs more time to tackle the inundation of public comments. The social media network had appealed to the board to make a final ruling on whether the suspension was justified after he reportedly incited his supporters to storm the Capitol Hill, reported SCNOW.
The Facebook Oversight Board is the quasi-judicial organization that the website set up to assess tough moderation choices. It said the decision would arrive "in the coming weeks." The decision was initially supposed to take 90 days. The board will have to evaluate over 9,000 comments it has received regarding the case, reported The Verge.
The decision was initially due by April 21. The ruling will be the biggest decision Facebook's Oversight Board has had to make since it commenced tackling cases in 2020.
The board extended the deadline for the public to submit comments regarding how they must rule. According to the panel, "The board will announce its decision on the case concerning former U.S. President Trump's indefinite suspension from Facebook and Instagram in the coming weeks. The Board's commitment to carefully reviewing all comments has extended the case timeline in line with the board's bylaws," reported Politico.
Trump to Launch Own Social Media Platform in 3-4 Months
The board stated in a Twitter post they extended the public comments deadline for the case. It added the panel's commitment to thoroughly evaluate all comments and extended the case timeline according to its bylaws. They will disclose information soon.
In January, after the U.S. Capitol riots, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote the risks of allowing the former president to continue using their service during that period are simply too much. Trump has remained prohibited from the services. His efforts to appear in videos on his children's pages have also been barred.
Zuckerberg established the 20-member committee. It is also usually called "Facebook's Supreme Court." Among the nine cases it had ruled on was a comment that appeared derogatory to Muslims in a post from a user in Myanmar. It was removed for contravening hate-speech rules. However, it was deemed not to be Islamophobic upon taking in context.
The Facebook board will reportedly face backlash in Washington, whatever it rules. Republicans have condemned Facebook for suspending Trump. Democrats for years have called on it and other social media platforms to kick him off for reportedly spreading misinformation and allegedly harmful incendiary rhetoric.

The future of your state is currently being dictated through the devastating budget cuts to higher education. The writing has been on the wall and administrative decisions have been in the works for well over a year now but now we're starting to see the tangible effects of these cuts.
Back in October 2009, I shared a post titled, "I Want to Learn. Please Let Me In, California," that shared a personal story about my father's plight from poverty to earning a PhD. If you were to ask him what made this "dream" a reality, he would tell you it was California's rich opportunities for open access to education. As I shared in that post, my father traveled across our nation to earn his AA at Porterville Community College before he moved on to earn both a BS and a Master's degree at San Jose State and then proceed to Iowa State for his PhD in Chemistry.
That was the 1960s. This is the 21st century. What has changed? Well, ironically, today we relish in a society of open learning opportunities provided to us through the internet's access to content. As an example, Einstein's notebooks may be searched and viewed in high resolution reproductions by anyone with an internet connection. MIT's Open CourseWare shares courses with the world for free — go learn, today. In 2008, Pew Foundation shared that more than half of Americans had accessed the internet wirelessly and they predicted that by 2020 most people on earth will be using a mobile device as their PRIMARY connection to the Internet. Accessing content is not an issue. Educating our citizens is.
The cuts to education in California are unprecedented (and I write specifically about California because I am a Californian and I am deeply invested in the future of this state as a parent and an educator, while I humbly recognize the severity of the cuts to the rest of our nation as well). The San Jose Mercury News reported that more Californian youths are applying out of state in an effort to pave a future in higher education for them. They can read the writing on the wall. In February, California Community College Chancellor, Jack Walsh, verified that the enrollment in our great system of 112 community colleges has dropped by 21,000 this year. I promise you this is not due to lack of student demand. Students continue to try to add into classes that are overly full and professors continue to do their best to accommodate those demands without jeopardizing the pedagogy of their classes, which is always directly tied to class size. The California Community College system is the largest higher educational system in the world, providing access to college to 2.9 million students…and dwindling. Next year, CCCs will close their doors to 200,000 more students.
How's it going in the CSU system? Not so pretty there either. The system, comprised of 23 campuses across our beautiful state, will slice out 40,000 students over the next two years. Before these drastic cuts began, the Public Policy Institute of California estimated that our state would suffer a deficit of one million college graduates by 2025. By this year, it is anticipated that 41% of jobs in CA will require a college degree (undergraduate) but only 35% of Californians will have one. Again, this statistic was written prior to to current mess we're in. I have yet to see the refreshed projections of this deficit since the most recent state cuts to higher education.
In recent months, I've met with close personal friends who have enthusiastically shared new lifetime learning goals with me. "I've decided to go back to school and get a degree in …!" I have responded with an encouraging smile and felt my heart break on the inside as I've pondered the realities ahead of anyone in California who has dreams of pursuing an affordable college education here within the state. And I've reflected solemnly on the future education of my own children, as well.
And now for some final reflections about K-12. California ranks 47th in state funding for K-12. According to childrennow.org, the state's K-12 budget for 2009-10 is $66.7 billion, down from $71.2 billion just two years ago. Last year, the class sizes at my own childrens' school were increased to 30 students: 1 teacher. My childrens' classrooms are crowded and hot and none of the standards, of course, were modified as these class sizes were increased. I empathize with teachers and I am direly concerned for the educational well being of my own kids. My son has been denied speech therapy because his test scores are not below average. There is no attempt to integrate any form of 21st century skills into the curriculum and making this suggestion seems futile in a context as detrimental as this. Fourth graders are encouraged to leverage the internet to do research, but not taught how to validate any of the content they find. We are not educating our children for life in this digital, content rich society in which they must live their lives.
As Curtis Bonk wrote, "The World is Open," but until our state budget can effectively support the educational needs of our future citizens, our colleges continue to close doors.

I didn't have to work on Sunday, I had booked the day off so I could attend an Acting Workshop. The class didn't start till 11am which meant I didn't have to be up until 8:30am which is sooooo lovely compared to my normal wake-up time of 5:20am on a Sunday cause of working at 7am. Ugh.
So I get to sleep in which right there is a great improvement to the day lol I set the alarm for 8:30am the night before and blissfully drift off to sleep. Cue the morning when the alarm goes off. I couldn't believe how tired I felt considering I got 6 hours of sleep but oh well, I roll out of bed, stumble my way to the shower and attempt to wake myself up while not drowning under the water spray. Next comes uber careful make-up application. More careful than normal since I am about to spend the day in front of a camera and I want to look good lol. After the make-up is complete I head towards the bedroom for hair and clothing. On the way I check the clock on the microwave to make sure I'm not running late and the time says, brace yourself!…6:22am. Um, what? That can't be right, I didn't get up till 8:30am. So I check the time on the stove clock, 6:22am. I start to get suspicious, they can't both be wrong, can they? So I then go and check the one clock I know will never lie to me, my phone. Whaddya know, it says 6:23am.
What?!?! What is going on?? I check the alarm and there it is, my alarm is set for 8:30am so how in bloody hell did I end up with an alarm going off at 5:20am?
I did what any sensible person would do, I dried my hair, put my pajamas back on, crawled in to bed, spread my hair above my head on the pillow so I wouldn't dent it while sleeping (just go with it, it's a long-haired person thing), sternly lectured myself about not rolling over and ruining my make-up, and went back to sleep. Ahhh sleep! Since I was more than half ready for the day I got to sleep till 9am, wOOt!
*rolls eyes at self* I couldn't believe I did that! Well, actually, yeah, I can lol but still!
The hope is that now that they have seen me on camera, worked with me, met and hopefully liked me, next time my agent submits me for a project they are casting they will be all "oh hey, it's H! we like her, let's bring her in!" See how that works? Networking!
I was going to go for a run in the are afterwards but it was raining and I forgot about one important thing. Hunger. I often forget I am going to have to eat throughout the day, I really wish I didn't since it takes up so much time, sigh. I drove home, made a delish wrap (I put honey glazed chicken, Mediterranean and stir-fry veggies in it, oh and I spread two triangles of Jalapeno Laughing Cow Cheese on the wrap), called and chatted with the parents for a while, attempted to digest what turned out to be way too big of a wrap (I put way too many veggies in there, so good but omg my poor tummy lol). Then I basically chilled with the cat before I went out in the evening.

If you are suffering from insomnia, sleep apnea, or any kind of sleep disorder, leaving you without adequate sleep of six hours at the minimum, you are at more than usual risk of health disorders. If you love to sleep more than nine hours at a stretch every night, you face the equal risk of health problems.
We are all aware that sleeping less puts us at the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular problems, and psychological disorders. Can you imagine that sleeping more is equally harmful? Those sleeping long hours are at enhanced risk of becoming subject to similar diabetics and diseases that bring them at equal footing with those deprived of sleep.
According to a recent report published in the journal SLEEP, sleeping more than 10 hours is equally harmful as sleeping less than six hours. Sponsored and supported by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nodal US agency looking after public health problems in that country, the report warns of diabetes, anxiety, and coronary heart diseases in adults above 45 due to long sleeping hours.
Over 54,000 people 45 years or above were studied by researchers. About 64 percent were found to be optimal sleepers between six and nine hours, leaving 31 percent lacking adequate sleep of six hours while five percent went beyond nine hours of sleeping in their everyday life.
The report highlights frequent mental distress, higher obesity, diabetes, strokes, and more incidence of coronary heart disease in those lacking or going beyond seven to nine hours of sleep in 24 hours. The research found that these diseases are more with those longing for more sleep.
"Some of the relationships between unhealthy sleep durations and chronic diseases were partially explained by frequent mental distress and obesity," says Janet B Croft, a senior chronic disease epidemiologist at the Population Health division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and leader of the research group.
The publication recommends a close monitoring of sleep health of those suffering from chronic health disorders, as sleeping hours have a bearing on their mental health and body weight, which influence progress of treatment. Seven to nine hours of sleeping in 24 hours enables to reap health benefits and defeat chronic conditions. But getting less or more than these hours may significantly impact your quality of life and disease symptoms.
The prime reason for sleeping problems is stress on the body, which causes a number of other problems, including weight gain, hormone imbalance, hair loss, premature aging, and lowered immune function.
High Antioxidant Foods, including vegetables, green tea, high nutrient fruits, help in hormone production. Not only this, antioxidants also fight free radicals in the body and remove toxins that can obstruct sleep.
Healthy fats, including coconut oil, eggs, pasture raised meats, provide your body with building blocks that are essential for the production of sleep hormones.
Quality Proteins and vegetables will prepare your body for sleep.
It is important for better sleep that you have your meals at least a couple of hours before your sleeping regimen. This will allow time for your body to digest the food. A well-balanced diet will help your sleeping routine- ensuring proper sleep.
Vegetable oils, carbohydrates and sugars can cause a spike in blood glucose levels and create hormonal problem. This can result in sleeplessness in the middle of the night.
Fatty foods, such as steak, not only raise cholesterol, but also increase obesity risk, these are digested slowly by the body and thus cause circadian rhythm problems, especially if eaten just before bedtime. Not only this, high-fat diets are linked to sleep apnea.
Broccoli is regarded a health-friendly vegetable, but eaten before bedtime, it can cause all sorts of sleep problems. Cauliflower and broccoli, eaten too close to bedtime, can keep your body working for long hours in order to digest the slow-to-digest fiber.

Die Graf-Schack-Allee ist eine 1100 m lange Straße in Schwerin in der Altstadt und der Feldstadt. Sie führt in Nord-Süd-Richtung vom Alten Garten/Schloßstraße vorbei am Burgsee bis zur Johannes-Stelling-Straße / Platz der Jugend sowie Ludwigsluster Chaussee und die Straße Ostorfer Ufer.

Nebenstraßen
Die Neben- und Anschlussstraßen wurden benannt als Alter Garten nach dem zentralen repräsentativen Platz, Schloßstraße nach dem Schweriner Schloss (früher Mühlen- und Burgstraße), Klosterstraße (1851 Hinterm Klosterhof) nach dem Franziskanerkloster Schwerin (1236–1548), Geschwister-Scholl-Straße nach den Widerstandskämpfern, Heinrich-Mann-Straße nach dem Schriftsteller, Mecklenburgstraße nach dem Land, Platz der Jugend, Johannes-Stelling-Straße nach dem Politiker (SPD) und Ministerpräsidenten (1921 bis 1924) des Freistaates Mecklenburg-Schwerin Johannes Stelling (1877–1933, ermordet) sowie Ludwigsluster Chaussee nach der Stadt und Ostorfer Ufer nach dem Ostorfer See.

Geschichte

Name

Die Straße wurde benannt nach dem Adelsgeschlecht Schack, das auch in Mecklenburg wirkte. Der Namensgeber Graf Adolf Friedrich von Schack (1815–1894) war ein in Schwerin-Schelfstadt geborener Dichter, Kunst- und Literaturhistoriker sowie Jurist und Diplomat. 1852 bis 1855 wohnte er auf dem Gut in Zülow.

Zuvor hieß die Straße Beaugency Straße nach der Schlacht bei Beaugency vom Dezember 1870, die im Deutsch-Französischen Krieg zwischen der Armeegruppe des Großherzogs von Mecklenburg und der französischen Loirearmee stattfand.

Entwicklung

Noch im 19. Jahrhundert führte ein Fließgraben vom Pfaffenteich bis zur bis 1853 betriebenen Grafenmühle und dann parallel zur Klosterstraße in den Burgsee. Von 1843 bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts erfolgte im nördlichen Teil der Mecklenburgstraße bis zur Schloßstraße eine Bebauung. Am Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden nördliche Bereiche des Burgsees mit Hausmüll und Bauschutt verfüllt. Danach entstanden auch die Häuser im südlichen Bereich der Mecklenburgstraße, am Platz der Jugend und an der Westseite der Graf-Schack-Allee.

Im Rahmen der Städtebauförderung wurde das Gebiet der Alt- und der Feldstadt Sanierungsgebiet, und Mitte der 1990er Jahre bis Ende der 2000er Jahre erfolgte die Sanierung vieler Häuser.

2009 fand die Bundesgartenschau Schwerin (BUGA 2009) statt und der nach Süden erweiterte Burgsee war dabei ein zentraler Bereich mit dem Garten des 21. Jahrhunderts und den Schwimmenden Wiesen.

Verkehrlich wird die die Straße am Platz der Jugend von den Straßenbahnlinien 1, 2 und 4 sowie den Buslinien 5, 7, 8, 14 und 19 der Nahverkehr Schwerin GmbH (NVS) tangiert und durch die Buslinie 10/11 erschlossen.

Do you sometimes find yourself feeling down even when there's nothing specific that looms as a cause? It's not at all uncommon. Interestingly, studies show that people who make "happy movements" actually feel happier. Jump up and down. Throw your firsts into the air. Smile and use positive facial expressions. Swing your arms. Put a spring in your step. I know it may sound fake and silly—but studies do show that it can improve mood.
Of course, we know that laughter is good for us. It increases immune activity and decreases stress hormones. It enhances mood. It raises good cholesterol levels (HDL). It lowers blood pressure and lowers bad cholesterol (LDL). So watching a comedy show or funny YouTube video might be just what the doctor ordered.
Exercise is good for reducing stress and overcoming feelings of sadness, too. Walk. Bike. Swim. Do some cardio or aerobic exercises. Practice some yoga moves. Whatever you're able to do or whatever floats your boat.
Walking in nature can lift spirits, too. I've mentioned before the practice of "forest bathing" (contemplative walks in the woods) that began in Japan. In fact, the Japanese government recognized that in 1982 as a way to improve quality of life. It's been shown to decrease feelings of stress, anxiety and anger. Who couldn't use that these days?

Auriemma-Summitt feud starting to dissolve?
By Raphielle JohnsonApr 1, 2012, 10:24 PM EDT
The personal relationship between Tennessee head coach Pat Summitt and Connecticut head coach Geno Auriemma wasn't the best over the last four years.
For whatever reason, the relationship reached the point where Summitt decided that the annual game between two of women's basketball's flagship programs needed to end.
But while there may not be a change in terms of whether or not the two schools play during the regular season, there may be ongoing change when it comes to how they get along.
Auriemma and Summitt talked on the court during Connecticut's open practice at the Women's Final Four in Denver, sharing a hug as well.
One of the points of conversation was Summitt's health, as she was diagnosed with early onset dementia during the summer.
Auriemma said that they also discussed Summitt's foundation for Alzheimer's research, and they'll both be on the court at halftime of the second semifinal when the NCAA honors former USA Basketball coaches.
Raphielle is also the assistant editor at CollegeHoops.net and can be followed on Twitter at @raphiellej.


Cooperative Procurement means procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, more than one eligible public procurement unit - City of Tempe Procurement Ordinance Chapter 26A-2 Chapter Definitions.
Cooperative procurement is most frequently used by governmental entities, since they are required to follow laws requiring competitive bidding above certain thresholds. Counties, Municipalities and Schools can sign an intergovernmental agreement that allows them to legally use a contract that was procured by another governmental entity. By pooling the purchasing volumes of a large group of entities better efficiencies and lower costs can be achieved.
Cooperative Use of Contract: Any Contract resulting from this solicitation shall be for the use of the City of Tempe. In addition, public and nonprofit agencies that have entered into a Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with the City of Tempe's Procurement Division are eligible to participate in any subsequent Contract. Additionally, the Contract is eligible for use by the Strategic Alliance for Volume Expenditures (SAVE) cooperative - participating agencies. The parties agree that these lists are subject to change. Any such usage by other municipalities and government agencies must be in accord with the ordinance, charter and/or rules and regulations of the respective political entity.
Any orders placed to, or services required from, the successful Contractor(s) will be requested by each participating agency. Payment for purchase made under this agrement will be the sole responsibility of each participating agency. The City shall not be responsible for any disputes arising out of transactions made by others. Contractor shall be be responsible for correctly administering these Contract in accordance with all terms, condition, requirements and approved pricing to any eligible procurement unit.
For the convenience of current, or potential vendors, Mesa Public Schools maintains a site that assists vendors with the task of locating and registering with Arizona procurement entities by providing links to agency websites.
The list below is only representative of commonly used cooperatives - a more extensive list is available from the Statewide Vendor Registration Portal link above.
A helpful website has been developed by the AZ State Capitol Chapter of NIGP that provides information on all cooperative organizations that market to the public sector. The City of Tempe does not necessarily endorse all of these organizations, this link is provided for information only.

Gregorio Potemkin o Grigori Potemkin (Grigori Aleksándrovich Potiomkin-Tavrícheski, ;  - ) fue un líder militar, estadista y noble ruso. Valido de Catalina la Grande. Murió durante las negociaciones sobre el Tratado de Jassy, que puso fin a una guerra con el Imperio otomano que había supervisado.

Potemkin nació en una familia de terratenientes nobles de ingresos medios. Primero atrajo el favor de Catalina por ayudar en su golpe de 1762, luego se distinguió como comandante militar en la Guerra ruso-turca (1768-1774). Se convirtió en el amante de Catalina, el favorito y posiblemente su consorte. Después de que su pasión se enfrió, él siguió siendo su amigo de toda la vida y estadista favorito. Catalina obtuvo para él el título de Príncipe del Sacro Imperio Romano Germánico y le otorgó el título de Príncipe del Imperio ruso entre muchos otros: era tanto Gran Almirante como jefe de todas las fuerzas terrestres e irregulares de Rusia. Los logros de Potemkin incluyen la anexión pacífica de Crimea (1783) y la exitosa segunda guerra ruso-turca (1787-1792).

En 1775, Potemkin se convirtió en gobernador general de las nuevas provincias del sur de Rusia. Gobernante absoluto, trabajó para colonizar las estepas salvajes, tratando polémicamente con firmeza a los cosacos que vivían allí. Fundó las ciudades de Jersón, Nikoláyev, Sebastopol y Yekaterinoslav. Los puertos de la región se convirtieron en bases de su nueva Flota del Mar Negro.

Su gobierno en el sur está asociado con el «pueblo Potemkin», una artimaña que implica la construcción de fachadas pintadas para imitar pueblos reales, llenos de gente feliz y bien alimentada, para que los funcionarios visitantes los vean. Potemkin era conocido por su amor por las mujeres, el juego y la riqueza material. Supervisó la construcción de muchos edificios de importancia histórica, incluido el Palacio Táuride en San Petersburgo.

Biografía

Primeros años
Grigori nació en el pueblo de Chizhovo cerca de Smolensk en una familia de terratenientes nobles de ingresos medios, pariente lejano del diplomático moscovita Piotr Potemkin (1617-1700). Su padre, Aleksandr Potemkin, era un veterano de guerra condecorado; su madre Daria era «bien parecida, capaz e inteligente», aunque su matrimonio resultó infeliz en última instancia. Potemkin recibió su primer nombre en honor al primo de su padre, Grigori Matvéyevich Kizlovski, un funcionario que se convirtió en su padrino. El historiador británico Simon Montefiore ha sugerido que Kizlovski engendró a Potemkin, quien se convirtió en el centro de atención, heredero de la aldea y el único hijo varón entre seis hijos. Como hijo de una familia noble (aunque pequeña), creció con la expectativa de servir al Imperio ruso.

Después de la muerte de Aleksandr en 1746, Daria se hizo cargo de la familia. Para lograr una carrera para su hijo, y con la ayuda de Kizlovski, la familia se mudó a Moscú, donde Potemkin se inscribió en un gymnasium adjunto a la Universidad de Moscú. El joven Potemkin se convirtió en un experto en idiomas y se interesó por la Iglesia ortodoxa rusa. Se alistó en el ejército en 1750 a los once años, de acuerdo con la costumbre de los niños nobles. En 1755, una segunda inspección lo colocó en la Guardia Leib de Caballería de élite.

Después de graduarse del gymnasium universitario, Potemkin se convirtió en uno de los primeros estudiantes en inscribirse en la propia universidad. Talentoso tanto en griego como en teología, ganó la medalla de oro de la universidad en 1757 y se convirtió en parte de una delegación de doce estudiantes enviada a San Petersburgo ese mismo año. El viaje parecía haber afectado a Potemkin: después de ello estudiaba poco y pronto fue expulsado. Ante el aislamiento de su familia, se reincorporó a la Guardia, donde destacó. En ese momento su patrimonio neto ascendía a 430 siervos, equivalente al de la nobleza más pobre. Dedicaba su tiempo a «beber, apostar y hacer el amor de manera promiscua», y se endeudó profundamente.

Grigori Orlov, uno de los amantes de Catalina, encabezó un golpe de Estado en el palacio en junio de 1762 que derrocó al emperador Pedro III y entronizó a Catalina II. El sargento Potemkin representó a su regimiento en la revuelta. Al parecer, cuando Catalina revisó a sus tropas frente al Palacio de Invierno antes de su marcha hacia el Palacio Peterhof, le faltaba una empuñadura (o posiblemente el plumaje de su sombrero), que Potemkin rápidamente suministró. El caballo de Potemkin entonces (aparentemente) se negó a apartarse de su lado durante varios minutos antes de que Potemkin y el caballo regresaran a las filas.

Después del golpe, Catalina eligió a Potemkin como recompensa y aseguró su ascenso a segundo teniente. Aunque Potemkin estaba entre los que custodiaban al antiguo zar, parece que no estuvo involucrado directamente en el asesinato de Pedro en julio. Catalina lo ascendió nuevamente a Kammerjunker (ayuda de cámara), aunque mantuvo su puesto en la Guardia. Potemkin pronto fue presentado formalmente a la emperatriz como un imitador talentoso; su imitación de ella fue bien recibida.

Tras su destacada participación en la primera Guerra ruso-turca (1768-1774) Potemkin fue nombrado Gobernador general de Ucrania además de recibir el título nobiliario de conde. Supervisó la supresión de la  revuelta de los cosacos del sur de los Urales dirigida por el líder cosaco Yemelián Pugachov (1773-1775).

En 1783, llevó a cabo la conquista de Crimea y recibió el título de Serena Alteza, Príncipe de Táurica (en ruso: Светлейший князь Таврический). En 1784, obtuvo el rango de mariscal de campo, construyó la flota imperial rusa del mar Negro, y construyó varias ciudades y puertos entre las que destacan Jersón, Nikoláyev, Sebastopol y Yekaterinoslav.

En 1787, organizó el viaje triunfal de Catalina de Rusia a Crimea, el cual provocó la segunda Guerra ruso-turca (1787-1792), durante la cual desempeñó el cargo de Comandante en Jefe del Ejército Imperial. En 1791, murió durante las negociaciones de paz a la edad de 52 años. Su cuerpo embalsamado fue enterrado en una cripta de la Catedral de Santa Catalina de Jersón.

Durante la invasión rusa de Ucrania de 2022, el jefe de la «Administración Militar y Civil de Jersón» rusa, Volodímir Saldo, declaró que tanto los restos como la estatua de Gregorio Potemkin habían sido trasladados desde Jersón a la zona bajo ocupación rusa, junto con otros objetos de los museos de la ciudad, confirmando el expolio al que está siendo sometida Ucrania.

También se lo recuerda por ser un gran amigo del prócer venezolano Francisco de Miranda y haber sido quien lo introdujo a la corte imperial rusa y presentó ante la Emperatriz Catalina II "la Grande".

One Fat Frog helps a lot of restaurant entrepreneurs get their startups going. We see a wide range when it comes to the preparedness of our clients, from those who have everything planned out in large color-coded binders to people who have no idea what they want to do but think "I'd like to have a restaurant, so I guess I need equipment for that." Whatever your level of preparedness, One Fat Frog can help you get on your way to opening that dream restaurant. Today's Restaurant Startup Tip is all about the SWOT analysis.
A SWOT analysis is a list of your Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It is a list you should come up with early in the planning stages, probably when you first start working on that business plan. This isn't about sitting in front of a mirror and doing your daily affirmations ("I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and gosh darnit, people like me."). This is an honest analysis that looks at the good and the bad.
Strengths: What are your strengths that would give your restaurant startup an advantage? Are you a great leader? Are you a great cook without countless unique recipes? Do you have a lot of investors or otherwise have a great financial backing? Also look at your restaurant idea. What strengths does it have compared to its competition?
Weaknesses: This element isn't as fun to analyze but it's equally important. What are your weaknesses as an entrepreneur and what are the weakness of your restaurant idea? Are you bad with finances? Are you unable to work long hours? Are you terrible at making analytical lists?
Opportunities: You need to analyze the opportunities that your restaurant startup can exploit. Will you be offering a cuisine that isn't found at any other restaurant in your area? Will your prices be the cheapest around? Is the local demographic the same as that of your customer base? Can you get the building super cheap because of a dip in real estate prices?
Threats: Every business has threats that endanger its success, and the restaurant industry is no different. The most obvious threat is your competition. Other threats could be anything from an economic downturn to crime to an increased cost for your food.
A SWOT analysis isn't any fun to do. Neither is a business plan, for that matter. But it's one of the many tedious steps that are necessary when you make the decision to start up your own restaurant. Take care of the due diligence now and you'll be grateful once your new restaurant is turning a profit.

If you are looking for a way to enhance your profitability and expand your reach, you are probably wondering how you can get as much targeted traffic as possible. You can find many ways to attract people to your website, but search engine optimization is one of the most effective. You will take steps to get your site to rank in the search engines for terms related to your business. When your prospects look for solutions online, your content will show up, bringing them to your sales page.
The first step in SEO is to do keyword research so that you can learn about the terms and phrases that your prospects use when they are looking for answers. Keyword research will also allow you to gain insights to the search volume each phrase gets in a month, letting you decide what terms are worth the effort. After you come up with several keywords, enter them into Google's keyword planner, and you will be moving in the right direction.
When you decide what keywords to target, it's time to craft high-quality content that will get results. You will want to use the main keyword in the title and one subheading if you want to succeed. Although you can use it in the body of your text, remember that unnatural placements will harm your progress. In addition to ranking well, writing content that people want to read is also a vital piece of the puzzle that you won't want to overlook. When your audience finds your content compelling and engaging, they will be much more likely to share it.
Some people feel as though they are done at this point, but you will be skipping a vital task if you stop here. To stay ahead of the competition, you must build backlinks to your domain and the articles that you want to rank. Submitting guest posts and press releases are effective tactics that will provide you with impressive results.
When growing your business is at the front of your mind, SEO is the solution for which you have been searching. Providing you with results for years to come, search engine optimization can improve your profitability more than you once thought possible. The key is to take your time and to offer value at every turn, and the outcome will take your breath away. Remember that SEO is a long-term strategy that won't produce changes overnight, but remaining committed to your plan will work wonders for your business.

Growing cider apples is very similar to growing other apples except that because the apples are being to be pressed, and never reach the consumer in their "whole form", the producer does not have to worry about superficial appearances. Attention can be brought to bear instead upon the health and flavour of the apples.
Good cider apples need to contain a bit of tannin. Apples with good tannin in Europe include Brown's Apple, Yarlington Mills, Tremblett's Bitter, Stoke Red and Gottingen. In North America, the list includes Virginia Crab, Geneva Crab, Cortland, and also Golden Russet.
While eating and cooking apples have gone in and out of fashion over the years, and producers are always striving to produce new ones in those categories to tempt fickle consumers, cider apple varieties are treasured as grape varieties are.
From 1600 to the mid 1800s, almost 2/3 of the Island of Jersey was covered in orchards of cider apples. After the 1850s, most of the orchards were chopped down and replaced by the new crops of potatoes and tomatoes.

PCSD Member Denied Request for Proposals from Insurance Brokers
Jul 21, 2020 | Business, Community News, Feature, Nature | 0
by Hunter Dawkins
After discussion of the 2020 BluePrint for School Re-Opening by the Pass Christian School District (PCSD), the Certified Financial Officer (CFO); Paige Bromen, reviewed the financial reports for May 2020 and the school board of trustees unanimously approved all concerns related to this matter. Upon completion of these measures, the board accepted two donations of $1200 from Victoria Blum and $1982 from the Gulf Coast Community Foundation for Leo Seal Teacher Recognition Award.
Two consecutive resolutions were adopted on a unanimous roll call with one transferring tables to another school district and Designating Persons to Sign Checks and Warrants for the school district.
The heated subject came up when board member Avra O'Dwyer brought forth a request to require the Pass Christian School District to issue Requests for Proposals from more than one insurance brokerage firms for the school board to review the policies and programs during the upcoming school year.
After O'Dwyer made the request, fellow board member Cecil Lizana seconded the agenda where the board president asked for the thoughts from each member.
Trustee; Walter "Skip" King, expressed caution in moving towards another insurance brokerage firm because of the current adviser; BXS Insurance, providing great prices and features.
O'Dwyer questioned the ethical ability to vote by School Board Member; Scott Naugle, and his work as the Chief Operations Officer (COO) of Bancorp South, a company of direct affiliation with BXS Inurance. Earlier in the meeting, Naugle recused himself from the docket of claims vote before the issue was discussed due to a connection. O'Dwyer expressed that she spoke with School Board Attorney Mark Alexander, who stated Naugle's vote (according to O'Dwyer) on anything related to the insurance policies of the school district would be "a gray area ."
Naugle replied the insurance policy brought by BXS was successful because of the comparison brought through the market.
Following the deliberation, the Board of Trustees voted against the suggestion by O'Dwyer 2-1-1 as Naugle and King voted against the motion, O'Dwyer supported, Lizana abstained.
In other actions, the school board approved an MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) for private school allocation, the addendum of the 2020-21 Student/Parent Handbooks, contracted agreement with Swetman Security Services and acceptance of the additional targeted support and improvement (ATSI) application. Thirteen items were unanimously adopted on the consent agenda and the superintendent; Dr. Carla Evers, mentioned of staying on a ten point grading scale system.
Finally, The Pass Christian School District released their plans for the 2020-2021 school year Tuesday, giving parents the option to choose between two different plans.
The first option is called "Safety-Enhanced Traditional" (SET) which is on campus and acts as a long-established way of learning, rather than option two which is all online. The second option will have students learn from home and "be on the same bell schedule as if they were attending school in the physical setting."
Both options provide students with electronic equipment to assist with their learning experience.
Additionally, the district did note that "a Hybrid return to school will be considered based on the Governor's executive orders and county/statewide restrictions."

Together, we prevented a catastrophic loss of life.
At the beginning of 2017, millions of children were starving as an extreme food crisis tightened its grip across East Africa. A combination of prolonged drought and conflict caused a devastating cycle of hunger and disease.
Famine was declared in parts of South Sudan. While the food insecurity in Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya was reaching catastrophic levels.
Watch 'This Is Climate Change: Famine' a critically acclaimed virtual reality film depicting the affects of drought in Somalia.
Without an urgent global response, millions of children across the region would be on the brink of starvation. And even more were at risk of killer diseases.
It was a scenario we'd been faced with before. When famine hit parts of Africa in 2011, a quarter of a million people lost their lives.
We refused to let this happen again.
Thanks to the incredible response from our supporters, working closely with the rest of the international community, we helped avert famine in many areas across the region.
Save the Children was proud to be at the forefront of the international response, leading calls to action and scaling up our programmes in affected regions at an unprecedented rate.
Since we launched our emergency response over a year and half ago we've reached more than 4.5 million people, including 3 million children with lifesaving support.
Jacob grins for the camera. He is no longer malnourished following the drought.
We vaccinated children against deadly diseases and treated the biggest child killers such as malaria, pneumonia and diarrhoea.
We built sanitation facilities and promoted good hygiene practices within communities to curb the spread of diseases.
We established learning and play areas to ensure children are protected and can continue their education.
We gave families small cash grants, food vouchers and animal feed for livestock to help them recover their livelihoods.
Despite the good news, children and their families are not yet out of danger. Ongoing conflict and the long-term impacts of drought are still threatening children's lives.
We continue to work around the clock to deliver the lifesaving interventions above, to help save children's lives and protect their futures.
But we're also focussed on supporting longer term recovery programmes to achieve lasting and sustainable change for children.
By strengthening livelihoods and bolstering the resilience of communities to the impact of multiple failed rains, we're fighting to break the cycle of starvation and disease.
Ade*, five-months-old, was admitted to one of our health centres in Ethiopia with a fever and malnutrition. Thanks to the lifesaving medicine and nutrition support provided by the centre, she received the vital care she needed to recover.

Objective. This study aimed to compare the qualitative and quantitative reproducibility of quantitative PCR (qPCR) for Ureaplasma species (Ureaplasma spp.) throughout pregnancy and according to the genital sampling site. Study Design. Between 5 and 14 weeks of gestation (T1), vaginal, fornix, and two cervical samples were taken. Sampling was repeated during the 2nd (T2) and 3rd (T3) trimester in randomly selected T1 positive and negative women. Qualitative and quantitative reproducibility were evaluated using, respectively, Cohen's kappa (κ) and interclass correlation coefficients (ICC) and repeated measures ANOVA on the log-transformed mean number of DNA copies for each sampling site. Results. During T1, 51/127 women were positive for U. parvum and 8 for U. urealyticum (4 patients for both). Sampling was repeated for 44/55 women at T2 and/or T3; 43 (97.7%) remained positive at the three timepoints. κ ranged between 0.83 and 0.95 and the ICC for cervical samples was 0.86. Conclusions. Colonization by Ureaplasma spp. seems to be very constant during pregnancy and vaginal samples have the highest detection rate.

Are the Earnings at Central European Media Enterprises Hiding Something?
When judging a company's prospects, how quickly it turns cash outflows into cash inflows can be just as important as how much profit it's booking in the accounting fantasy world we call "earnings." This is one of the first metrics I check when I'm hunting for the market's best stocks. Today, we'll see how it applies to Central European Media Enterprises (Nasdaq: CETV).
To calculate the cash conversion cycle, add days inventory outstanding to days sales outstanding, then subtract days payable outstanding. Like golf, the lower your score here, the better. The CCC figure for Central European Media Enterprises for the trailing 12 months is 57.6.
Because of the seasonality in some businesses, the CCC for the TTM period may not be strictly comparable to the fiscal-year periods shown in the chart. Even the steadiest-looking businesses on an annual basis will experience some quarterly fluctuations in the CCC. To get an understanding of the usual ebb and flow at Central European Media Enterprises, consult the quarterly-period chart below.
On a 12-month basis, the trend at Central European Media Enterprises looks very good. At 57.6 days, it is 9.8 days better than the five-year average of 67.3 days. The biggest contributor to that improvement was DSO, which improved 12.8 days compared to the five-year average. That was partially offset by a 5.4-day increase in DPO.
Considering the numbers on a quarterly basis, the CCC trend at Central European Media Enterprises looks OK. At 74.9 days, it is 11.4 days worse than the average of the past eight quarters. Investors will want to keep an eye on this for the future to make sure it doesn't stray too far in the wrong direction. With quarterly CCC doing worse than average and the latest 12-month CCC coming in better, Central European Media Enterprises gets a mixed review in this cash-conversion checkup.
Internet software and mass media are being consumed in radically different ways, on new and increasingly mobile devices. Is Central European Media Enterprises on the right side of the revolution?
