That sounds easy: take two collection of identifiers, put them in sets, determine the intersection, done. Sadly, each collection uses identifiers from different databases. Worse, within one set identifiers from multiple databases. Mind you, I'm not going full monty, though some chemistry will be involved at some point. Instead, this post is really based on identifiers.
Data set 2: all metabolites from WikiPathways. This set has many different data sources, and seven provide more than 100 unique identifiers. The full list of metabolite identifiers is here.
Determine the interaction of two collections of identifiers from arbitrary databases, ultimately using scientific lenses. I will develop at least two solutions: one based on Bioclipse (this post) and one based on R (later).
First of all, we need something that links IDs in the first place. Not surprisingly, I will be using BridgeDb (doi:10.1186/1471-2105-11-5) for that, but for small molecules alternatives exist, like the Open PHACTS IMS based on BridgeDb, the Chemical Translation Service (doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/btq476) or UniChem (doi:10.1186/s13321-014-0043-5, doi:10.1186/1758-2946-5-3).
You can see that I am using the BridgeDb functionality already, to create Xref objects. The code skips the first line (or any line with "column headers"). The BridgeDb Xref object's equals() method ensures I only have unique cross references in the resulting set.
The only metabolite it did not find in any pathway is the KEGG identified metabolite, homocystine. I just added this compound to Wikidata. That means that in the next metabolite mapping database, it will recognize this compound too.
I will soon write up the R version in a follow up post (but got to finish grading student reports first).


of McLaren Technology Group, and Jost Capito, Volkswagen's Director of Motorsport, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Racing, supported by Eric Boullier, who will work closely with both Jonathan and Jost and whose position as Racing Director of McLaren Racing will remain unchanged. The timing of these moves will be actioned in 2016 in agreement with Jost's current employer, and a further announcement will follow in due course.
Both Jonathan and Jost will report directly to Ron Dennis, whose position as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of McLaren Technology Group will also remain unchanged.
Ron Dennis (Executive Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, McLaren Technology Group): "Consistent with McLaren Technology Group's strategy of driving continuous growth, Jonathan has been promoted to the position of COO. He has done an excellent job as acting CEO of McLaren Racing – and that experience, together with the expertise he has attained in non-motorsport industry positions previously, makes him ideally suited to such an important new role at McLaren Technology Group.
"I first approached Jost last summer. He is an extremely impressive, competitive and ambitious individual, who comes to us with a very wide range of automotive and motorsport experience, encompassing senior positions at BMW, Porsche, Ford, Sauber and, since 2012, Volkswagen, leading the latter company's World Rally Championship team to consecutive world titles in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
"From a motorsport perspective he has experience in not only the World Rally Championship but also Sports Cars, Touring Cars, Motorcycle Racing and Formula 1, about which he is hugely knowledgeable and infectiously passionate.
Jonathan Neale (Chief Operating Officer, McLaren Technology Group): "After 15 years in senior roles within McLaren Racing, most recently as COO and acting CEO, I am excited to be moving up to take on a wider remit, working directly with Ron to assist his leadership of McLaren Technology Group.
"I have enjoyed my time at McLaren Racing, and will of course remain closely involved in supporting Jost's and Eric's efforts to optimise the future success of the McLaren-Honda programme.

Shane MacGowan marries – and Johnny Depp plays guitar
Pogues singer Shane MacGowan and his partner of 32 years have tied the knot – with Johnny Depp playing guitar at their wedding.
The 60-year-old frontman wed journalist Victoria Mary Clarke, 52, at a small ceremony in Copenhagen on Monday, surrounded by a few close friends and family.
MacGowan, who has been using a wheelchair since a fall damaged his back several years ago, met Clarke in London when she was 16, and both felt they were "destined to be together".
He has known Depp for many years, with the Hollywood star featuring on MacGowan's 1994 album The Snake – his first record as a solo artist.
:: Shane MacGowan: I dreaded getting my teeth fixed

Ahead of the wedding ceremony, Clarke explained in the Irish Independent why the couple have taken their time to tie the knot.
"Marriage is a scary business, a big commitment," she said. "You might know that you have met 'The One', the minute you lay eyes on them across a crowded bar. You might have been mesmerised, enchanted, and entirely convinced that you couldn't live without them. But you have to be certain."
Writing about the first time she met MacGowan, Clarke said she was "awe-struck", before going on to detail a complicated relationship that "makes the Fairytale Of New York couple from Shane's Christmas song seem tame and orderly".
She said: "When you meet 'The One', you have a choice. You can dive in, marry them while you are infatuated with each other and hope for the best. Or you can wait until you are sure that the honeymoon phase has worn off and you are seeing each other in the light of having lived, no longer young, beautiful and indestructible."
Clarke said they had chosen to get married in an "anonymous City Hall" as both she and MacGowan are introverts and did not want any fuss.
She finished by saying the nuptials would be "weird" but "lovely".

The Benefits of Resolving Conflict
with Ann Wilson | February 19, 2022
All healthy relationships experience conflict. Marriages and friendships all have to navigate personal differences. Ann Wilson explains how to know whether to overlook a conflict or to address it.
Ann Wilson and her husband Dave are hosts of FamilyLife Today®, FamilyLife's nationally-syndicated radio program. Mother to three grown sons, CJ, Austin, and Cody and wife to one, occasionally grown-up husband, Dave, Ann balances a home life and professional ministry career building both on the grace and goodness of Jesus Christ. Frequently speaking at Kensington Church, a 6-campus church that welcomes more than 14,000 visitors every weekend, and touring across the country at m...more
With Ann Wilson
Michelle: Many of us tend to shy away from conflict in hard discussions—or well, maybe, that's just me—but Ann Wilson says that there's a positive reason for taking care of disagreements.
Ann: Every time I have a conflict with a friend—maybe it's with my kids or a co- worker—my attitude is this: "If we can get through this, we're going to be better; we're going to be deeper; we're going to be closer than we ever have been; because you get on the other side of it, you feel like, 'Well, I know you better, and I know that you've forgiven me,'—or maybe, I've forgiven you—'but man, we're closer now.'"
Michelle: We're going to talk with Ann Wilson about the benefits of resolving conflict—big and small—on this edition of FamilyLife This Week.
Welcome to FamilyLife This Week. I'm Michelle Hill. There's a song that has been playing around in my mind, and I started doing some research on it. I found who all has sung this song: Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, and many, many more.
Before I share what the song is about, I want to introduce our guest today. Ann Wilson is sitting across the table from me. Welcome, Ann; I'm so excited to have you here.
Ann: Thanks, Michelle. Now, I'm like sitting on the edge of my seat, like, "What is the song?" [Laughter]
Michelle: I just want to quickly introduce you to our listeners—
Michelle: —in case they don't know who you are. You and your husband Dave are speakers at our Weekend to Remember®. You've been a part of The Art of Parenting and the Art of Marriage. Now, I've just heard the slight rumor that you are taking over the airwaves a little bit, here, at FamilyLife®?
Ann: Oh, gosh! Doesn't that sound intimidating? [Laughter] I don't know if we're taking over anything; but we're going to be a part of that, yes.
Michelle: Ann and Dave Wilson are hosts, along with Bob Lepine, of FamilyLife Today®. We are excited to be rolling that out. In fact, if you were listening to FamilyLife Today this week, you heard Ann and Dave talk about their story and, also, Dennis Rainey handing over the reins to you guys.
Ann: I know, and it's a big deal for Dave and I. We're very humbled by it. Who can replace Dennis Rainey?
Ann: No one! Dennis and Barbara are heroes of ours. They've mentored us; we've looked up to them. Honestly, for us, it was the first marriage that we looked at and we thought, "We want a marriage like that."
Ann: Because it's centered on Jesus.
Ann: And we'd never seen that before, growing up; because we didn't grow up in homes that were really Christ-following homes.
Michelle: I want to make mention that Dave is one of the co-founders and pastors at Kensington Church in Detroit. It's just a tiny, little church; right?—of like fourteen thousand people or such. [Laughter]
Ann: —which is crazy, because we started out with forty of us;—
Michelle: Oh, wow!
Ann: —and most of those were our children. [Laughter] So this is a God-thing that has grown that church—it's not us—believe me.
Michelle: That's really cool.
Okay, so I've got to get back to the song that Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald, and Bing Crosby, and Rosemary Clooney, and Billie Holiday, and all of these greats—Fred Astaire—that they helped to bring to the forefront and make popular. It's a song that talks about disagreements. It's/do you remember one of those songs?
Ann: Come on, give me like a hint. What—
Michelle: How about: "I say potato; you say potato [emphasis on syllables change]."
Michelle: "I say tomato; you say tomato [emphasis on syllables change]."
Ann: —"tomato," yes.
Michelle: "Let's call the whole thing off!"
And it seems to me that we are in a day and time, where it is easy to just call the whole thing off over just such a—what we would say—a petty argument or petty differences. That's what I really want to talk to you today about is conflict, because I've heard that—
Ann: —because I'm good at it?
Michelle: —you know how to do conflict! [Laughter]
Ann: I have conflict; I don't know if I'm good at doing it. We do have quite a bit of conflict in our lives as people.
Michelle: Right; we do. I know that you and Dave talk a lot with young couples—and also older couples—and really coach them through conflict. Conflict resolution skills are such an important skill, not only in marriage, but in life in general.
Today, I really wanted to sort of talk about singles and conflict, because—as I was listening to the FamilyLife Today programs that you and Dave were on this week—I kept thinking, "Singles need these skills too." So, as we just jump into this, can you explain conflict to us? What is conflict?
Ann: I think it—I don't know if it's easy to explain—but we've all lived it. It's when you have that/that passion: "This is what you believe," "This is what you think." And when somebody doesn't agree with you, how do you deal with that?—
Ann: —you know—and if they want to go in a totally different direction. Every single person has faced that from the time they're tiny.
But for us, I think this has been so important; because we were so bad at it. I'm one of those people that's like, "Let's deal with this!" And others are like, "I really don't want to deal with it,"—I was married to that person. And I see that in kids; I see that in some of my friends that are single/married—it doesn't even matter what phase of life you're in—we all face conflict.
Michelle: Well, what I see is—I am the adult I am today from the home that raised me.
Ann: Oh, yes!
Michelle: And in our household, I had a father who was not afraid of conflict. He's an attorney, so he's not afraid of conflict at all [Laughter]; but my mom was a little bit afraid of conflict. I noticed what that did and how that built me, and I don't like conflict!
Ann: Oh, I was going to ask: "Who are you?"
Michelle: I would rather run from it. I avoid it—and I keep going—"I'll just pray about it," "I'll just pray about it."
Ann: What does that mean?—like you'll just pray about it.
Michelle: God is going to work in my heart and in that other person's heart, and we can just not ever have to talk about it.
Ann: Oh, wouldn't that be awesome? [Laughter] Wouldn't that be nice?
For me, I'm a winner. I was raised in a home where we would just talk about it; we would fight about it. We would verbally put it all on the table—and there was a security in that we loved each other, and it was okay to voice what you felt—you would be loved no matter what. So I thought, "This is the perfect way to do it."
But the bad part of a winner is you will bring in all of your evidence, and you will prove that you were right—probably your dad could have done this—I don't think ours was as sophisticated as what a lawyer would do, because we could be mean.
Ann: And the bad thing that a winner can do is they can be verbally cruel—not always; I wasn't that—but a winner will do anything they need to win the battle/to win the argument. They will say anything and bring in evidence to prove they're right; that's a winner's mentality.
I had that with Dave—I don't think I was cruel—but I was like, "Let's talk about this!" And my tone would get big, and I would get fierce. I think that scared my husband to death because he grew up in a home, where there was alcohol; there was abuse. When voices would start escalating, then abuse would come into the picture. So Dave saw any kind of conflict as bad, and he would run out of the room and hide with his sister.
Michelle: So what would he be? You're a "winner"; so what's he called?
Ann: Yes, Dave would be a withdrawer.
Ann: So he withdraws from the situation. Someone that withdraws can withdraw physically, but they can also withdraw emotionally and just shut down. We would be in this argument; and I'm like, "Okay; alright! Here we go!"
Ann: And he would just—boom—shut down, which made me even more mad—so I am like getting up with him, walking out of the room with him. [Laughter]
Michelle: I think I've heard you guys talk about this! [Laughter]
Ann: Oh, my gosh, Michelle! I would say things to him like, "Come back and fight like a man, you chicken!"—[Laughter]—and now, he's running. [Laughter] That was not a good way to approach that. So that's one: you've got the winner; you've got the withdrawer.
Then you have one that's called the yielder. That person will just yield for the sake of the relationship, meaning they may not agree with what's happening, but they'll yield; because they'll think, "It's not that big of a deal. I may not agree with them, but I'm just going to yield for the sake of the relationship."
And the last one is the resolver. They'll just do what it takes to sit down and resolve the conflict, no matter what. I wish I could say that that would be the way we would always approach it, but it's not. And I think, sometimes, we have to bring a third party in when we can't resolve things.
Michelle: Now, the resolver: is that the type of style that we all need to be?
Ann: Yes, I think. I don't know if it's a style as much as a resolution, of like, "This is who we're going to become: we're going to become people of peace, who will pursue resolution no matter what."
Now, can that happen in every single relationship? I'm not sure that it can, because you have to have two people that are willing to go there.
We need take a break; but I want to continue this conversation, and I want to talk some practicalities. We'll be back in two minutes.
[Radio Station Spot Break]
Michelle: Welcome back to FamilyLife This Week. I'm Michelle Hill, and I'm in the studio with Ann Wilson. Thank you so much, again, for joining me and helping to clarify some things on conflict; because I always have conflict with Keith Lynch.
Ann: Ohh!
Michelle: I always have conflict with my boss and co-worker.
Ann: Is he a really hard person to deal with?
Michelle: [Whispering] He really is. [Laughter] So you're helping me understand how to work with my co-worker.
Ann: I like it!
Michelle: So I thank you.
Ann: You're welcome.
Michelle: Before the break, we talked about the different styles of conflict—of those who are winners—you are a winner; your husband Dave is a withdrawer.
Michelle: I'm a yielder. I want to win!—like bring out a board game, and I am as competitive as you get—[Laughter]—but when I have to really sit down and talk about relationships, that's when I'm going to yield to make peace.
Ann: Right.
Michelle: I'm going to stuff it.
Ann: Well, I think that's the difference. A yielder is a good thing—unless you stuff it—and it just kind of—
Michelle: Oh!
Ann: Here's when you know you stuff it—later, it will boil over—but if I can yield and let it go, that's a good resolution to the conflict.
Ann: However, if I yield—but it continues to come back up over and over—I need to talk about it. That's when it gets hard; right?
Michelle: Is it ever too long/have I ever waited too long before I need to bring it back up?
Ann: I think, if it comes back up and it has continued, I think you go back to that person and say, "You know, I thought I could let this go, but it continues to come back up," and resolve it.
Michelle: Yes. That brings us to the last type—and that's the resolver—and that's where we all want to be; don't we?—right?
Michelle: Ah, but that takes work to get there!
Ann: It does take work, but it's so worth it; I think that's the thing. Every time I have a conflict with a friend—every time—maybe it's with my kids, or with Dave, or a co-worker—my attitude is this: "If we can get through this, we're going to be better; we're going to be deeper; we're going to be closer than we ever have been"; because isn't that true about a relationship?
Michelle: That's true.
Ann: If you go through something together, and you get on the other side of it, you feel like: "Well, I know you better; I know what makes you tick," and "I know that you've forgiven me"—or maybe [you've] hurt [me], and I've forgiven you—but man, we're closer now." I think that's always my perspective in looking at the future; because it's kind of like, "Am I ready to go through this?!"
Michelle: Right; and well, then comes the trust.
Michelle: And almost—there's this extra layer of bonding that happens—where you're bonded to that person.
Ann: Yes; right. I think we guard our hearts; you know? Especially, if you've been hurt in the past, we tend to guard our hearts and not want to go there with a person; because we're afraid of how they'll handle our hearts.
Ann: That's true in every relationship when we've been hurt. This is going to sound so crazy, but I remember teaching this Bible study with the Detroit Lions' wives. You know, in a lot of relationships, there's trust broken. There are hearts that have been hardened. There are a lot of hurts in all kinds of relationships. There are girlfriends and wives [of football players] in the room.
I actually brought out a heart; I got one—this is so gross!—I got one from the store.
Michelle: —like a real one?
Ann: Not a real person's heart, but it was like a chicken heart/a turkey heart. Have you ever seen those?—you know, when—this is so weird. [Laughter]
Ann: I put it on the table; and I said, "When your heart has been hurt, what do you want to do?" Then I took this little cagey thing, and I put it around. I said, "You want to cage your heart. You want to protect it; you want to guard it from being wounded again." And I said, "I think we all—that's just a natural tendency that we do to protect ourselves—it's called self-protection. The sad thing is that people no longer get your heart."
I said, "Wouldn't it be cool if we could put that heart in Jesus' hand, and we ask Him to protect it? We say, 'Jesus, I give You my heart first; and I'm going to be safe with my heart in Your hands, but I'm going to always keep it there. Then I'm going to give it to people, knowing that I'm going to give it; but it's always in Your hand first, because You're the protector of my soul. You're the One who loves me. You're the One that sees me. You're the One that's cheering for me: "Go there; go there in this relationship."'"
Michelle: —which is just a great reminder—because, for me, when I enter conflict, I am scared to death of either being hurt again or of losing parts of that relationship that I'm in conflict with. If I walk in, going, "But Jesus, You're holding me; You are holding my heart. I need to trust in You for parts of that conversation or for all of that conversation."
Ann: I think a great step would be for people to think, "Why am I so scared? What happened in the past?" Because I honestly think we all carry baggage from our past into the present, especially in conflict. "What has happened in the past that's making you so fearful of the present-day situation?"
Then the next question is: "Have I dealt with that past hurt and pain?" You know, "Have I offered Jesus my heart? Have I forgiven that person? Have I walked through that, and am I free from it?"
I think, so often, we're carrying this ball and chain of hurt from the past. Jesus says, "I want to set the captive free!" He's talking about our soul and our spirit; but I think, emotionally, He wants to set us free so that we're the people that He created to be; free in relationships too.
Michelle: Yes, so that we are truly living.
Ann: Yes! Yes.
Michelle: So we are whole.
Ann: Yes, and we're not fearful.
Ann: Now, I'm going to say, of course, we need to put boundaries in our lives for people that aren't healthy or people that continually hurt us. We're going to keep them a little more at a distance, but we're going to still love them. We're just going to make sure that there are parts of us/that they're not going to get all of us.
Michelle: Right. Okay, I want to get a little bit practical now. Help us understand how we enter some of those conversations. Like my cube-mate loves tomato soup, and boils the tomato soup in the microwave every day at noon; and it's driving me insane!
Ann: Are you saying that it splatters all over the microwave?
Michelle: No, the smell! [Laughter]
Ann: Oh, so you're wondering, "Do I let that go?" or "Do I talk about it?" "Do I yield it?"—right?
Michelle: Right, exactly!—for the sake of the relationship.
Michelle: I mean, we can go on and on—you know, friends who like to fix problems or something—how do you enter those conversations when, in some ways, it feels like it might be a petty thing; but it is something that is sort of weighing on you.
Ann: Yes; I think the question is: "Does it continue to bother you?" And so, if it's like five days in row, the tomato soup smell is just like, "I can hardly do this! I might need to move! [Laughter] You know, then you think—here's one of the things I would do—go to God first, and talk to God about it first: "God, should I bring this up?"—and then, I think the next thing is: "How do we bring it up?"
Michelle: Exactly! How?
Ann: Right; you don't bring it up in an accusatory tone. If we come at it like: "You are driving me crazy!"—[Laughter]—you know, it's just like we put people on the defense so quickly.
Ann: This is where I think there are just simple, practical tools: when you bring it up in a loving way, and you start it with, "I'm feeling…" These are just simple things that a counselor will teach us, but there are tools that we don't have in our pockets. So that could be the first one: "This is what I'm feeling lately…"—that's what I mean.
I would bring it up like: "This is going to sound like the dumbest thing to you, and it probably is dumb—but that smell of the tomato soup—I'm feeling sick. I don't want to bring it up, because it seems so petty—I'm sorry for that—but this is what I'm feeling." Then you can ask the question, "Do you think that's so dumb?"—which, now, [they're] like, "Oh, gosh!"; you know?
Ann: I think you bring it up before it becomes so big.
Dave and I were in a situation, where I had asked him a simple little thing: "Hey, hon, I'm going to do this speaking engagement in a month; and the headlight's out in the car. I'm wondering if you could fix it before I go on this trip? It's a five-hour drive." He said, "Absolutely! I'm going to fix that for you." Days keep going by, and Dave hasn't fixed the light. So every day—not every day, but once week—I would say, "Hey, don't forget about the headlight/to fix that headlight."
Well, it's the day before I am leaving. In the meantime, Michelle, I am doing all these things to get ready for this trip for him—[Laughter]—like I'm making all these meals; I'm getting things ready; I'm doing all this stuff—we had kids that were little at the time. I'm making all these special notes for him, [with] Scripture. Then I say, "Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow, and you haven't fixed the headlight." I'm trying to be really nice—right?—you know, the way I'm saying it and all that stuff.
He pulls into the driveway—and I have my suitcase in the driveway—this is the day of. He had promised me that he was going to fix it on the way home from meetings. He gets in the driveway, and I put my bag in and give him a kiss. I'm like, "Hey, you fixed the headlight; right?" He goes, "Oh, Ann! I totally forgot." And I looked at him, like, "Are you kidding me?!—like seriously?" [Laughter]
Because what does this say to me, as a woman?—like, "I don't care about you"; you know?—and so I am so hot! I get in the car, and I can see him. He's chasing me down the street. He's yelling, "Ann! Wait, wait, wait! I'm going to follow you to Kmart®! I'm going to change the light there." I am so mad, Michelle—[Laughter]—that here's what happens—I'm on my way, driving; and I start venting out loud: "I do everything around here!"
And this is what I'm going to say with conflict: Think about what you're thinking about.
Ann: So often, what's going on in our heads—we're piling up things, man—you know?
Ann: This is where it starts: in our heads. I'm like:
"I do everything around here!"—and take that thought, and I stuff it.
"He doesn't do anything for me!"—I take that thought, and I stuff it.
"He doesn't even think about me during the day, because he's so busy with his life—because it's so important—and my life is nothing!"
And by the time I'm driving a mile down the road, I am stuffed full of the angriest, meanest thoughts. And here's what I feel in that minute: all of a sudden, I feel like God is saying, "Ann, take all that out. What are you doing?"
You know what I do, Michelle?
Michelle: What?
Ann: I turn on the radio as loud as it can go, because I don't want to hear God. I want to just bask in my stuffing; you know?
Michelle: Right, because that feels so much better!
Ann: And I feel like I'm right. And sometimes, it just feels good to be right.
Michelle: Yes; right.
Ann: And so we're just kind of—do you know what that stuffing is?—it's ammunition for later.
Ann: I don't think we realize the potential and the danger of what is going on in our minds and our hearts.
So we get to Kmart, and Dave runs in. I'm sitting in the car; I say, "God, I don't want to take this out, because he deserves all of my wrath,"—and it doesn't matter—and I feel like God is saying, "Just give it to Me. Give it to Me first,"—so I'm telling God everything. I love that God can take that.
Ann: I say, "God, do You see what's happening?"
I think this is another piece of conflict: "Was the issue the headlight?"
Ann: No! I didn't care about the headlight. What did it communicate? I think that's another part of conflict: "What's the deeper issue? What are you really mad about?"
For me, it was—this is my pet issue that continues to carousel in my life—with Dave, with friends, with co-workers—is that it hurts me most when I'm not seen, or valued, or made a priority. That's a wound that I have from growing up; because I felt like, in my home, I wasn't seen, or valued, or made a priority; so that always triggers me as an adult.
I confess that to God, like, "God, I feel like he doesn't see me—I feel like he doesn't care; I feel like I'm not a priority—and I give all of that to You. I lay it on the throne to You, God." Then when Dave came to that window, he goes, "Okay, so are we okay?" [Laughter]
I said, "I'm okay." And he was so relieved, like, "Okay, good! She's not going to throw all of her ammunition on me"; [Laughter] you know? "She's not going to bullet me!" But I said, "I still need to talk about it, because I need to talk about what it made me feel."
If it had been me, in my first response, I would have lambasted him with all of my anger/all of my hurt.
Ann: But because I had taken it to God first—and of course, this doesn't always turn out picture-perfect—but because I had taken it to God first, it allowed me to go deeper into what I was really feeling. So instead of talking about him not taking care of me, or meeting my needs, or fixing the headlights, it was more of: "I think I have a wound in my past that I feel like I'm not a priority.
Ann: "And it hurts me, and it makes me feel unseen and lost." Dave can respond to that in a better way than [me saying]: "You're an idiot!" and "Why aren't you helping me more?"
Michelle: Yes; well, and it sounds so much like the humility that you had in your heart—to go back and talk to him—very similar to the humility that you just coached me through in the beginning of a conversation of tomato soup—or roommate or whatever—going and saying, "Hey, this might seem to you like it's a small thing; but this is how I feel.
Michelle: "And it may sound like totally crazy, but this is what is inside of me."
Michelle: Ann, thank you so much for joining me today. I am excited to have you on our team, here, at FamilyLife.
Ann: I'm excited to get to know you better!
Michelle: It will be good; yes, me too.
Ann: Girl power!
Michelle: Yes! [Laughter]
Well, I feel like we've barely scratched the surface of looking at conflict—and maybe I'll have to have Ann back on—what do you think? I'm really looking forward to Ann and Dave Wilson being a part of our team and being hosts, along with Bob Lepine, on FamilyLife Today. You may have heard that announcement this past week, but Ann and Dave will officially take over as hosts, along with Bob Lepine, coming up on March 4, [2019]. If you would like to hear the interviews on their book, Vertical Marriage, go to our website, FamilyLifeThisWeek.com; that's FamilyLifeThisWeek.com.
Next week, Christopher Yuan is going to join me. Christopher is a professor at Moody Bible Institute and has done quite a bit of research around relationships. We'll be chatting about singleness, but it will be a different kind of conversation than what you've probably heard before. So whether you're single—or married and know some singles—you'll want to join in on the conversation next weekend.
Hey, thanks for listening! I want to thank the president of FamilyLife, David Robbins, along with the co-founder of FamilyLife and my friend, Dennis Rainey.

Episode 18: Ralph Trent Stokes
From journalist Maggie Freleng and the Obsessed Network
On March 11, 1982 Mary Louise Figueroa, Eugene Jefferson, and Peter Santangelo were murdered during a robbery of Smokin' Joe's Corner, a restaurant in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 19-year-old Ralph Trent Stokes used to work there in the kitchen and got word that he was a prime suspect. He was arrested three days later and at trial after only 45 minutes of deliberation, Ralph Stokes was convicted of three counts of first degree murder and sentenced to death. Roger King was the prosecutor. He held the record for most death sentences achieved in the state of Pennsylvania when he retired. He's also infamous for prosecutorial misconduct and having multiple overturned convictions.
King used made up physical evidence placing Ralph at the location of the crime and his star witness fled the jurisdiction dressed as a woman and stayed away for several weeks. Larry Krasner, the current District Attorney, trying to right King's wrongs recently offered Ralph's attorney's to come to their office and view evidence previously withheld from the defense. Was the star witness the perpetrator all along? And who was the second robber?
Ralph desperately needs proper representation. If you can, please check out one of these ways you can help, especially donating to his legal defense fund! https://www.linktr.ee/freeralphstokes

Community Spotlight: Rokkus Radio, A Radio Station With a Story to Tell
Posted by Allison Leahy on June 24, 2013 at 11:10am in community spotlight
Rokkus Radio is more than a radio station, it's a community with bucket loads of personality, a lot of heart, and a dedication to trans-media storytelling. Rokkus Radio follows the story of a once-famous rock radio DJ named Rey King and his wild life running an online radio station as told through the interactive medium of a Ning community and bolstered by social channels including Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, ReverbNation, and YouTube. Instead of listening to radio, fans choose which character to follow, what story to dive into or what show to listen to, and Rokkus provides music and entertainment 360 degrees around them.
We caught up with John Starr, founder of Rokkus.com, at SF MusicTech this year and were intrigued by the story, so we invited John to discuss his creation in greater depth. John has all the charisma you'd expect from the creator of "Spinal Tap for online radio," and we're grateful he took the time to tell us a bit about the operation and his community of Rokkhounds.
The narrative reality radio station highlights great rock music and Rey King shares the airwaves with strange and funny cohorts including "a paranoid mall cop, a teenaged android, a real-life pirate crew, an alien from outer space masquerading as an old blues man, a punk rocker who lives in the dumpster behind the building, and a beautiful young woman with a strong scent of brimstone."
Warm up to Rokkus Radio and its colorful cast of characters by listening to the hilarious snippets embedded below.
Tell us a bit about your community.
It started in late 2011 and I run it with a little help from volunteers.
What made you start a dedicated online community?
I started Rokkus.com as part of an alternate reality storytelling project I was developing. My background is in screenwriting, acting and media production but I have also help run 2 tech startups and have managed networks for some large non-profits. I started this project as a way to bring those two parts of my life together.
It started out as a story about a guy who runs an online radio station. So I started researching online radio and I saw how easy it was to run a station online, I thought that instead of a book or movie, I would script a radio station. Use a station full of characters to tell their own story, in real time, over a bunch of platforms. That way I could tell a story in real time by having them interact during their broadcasts. In playing around with the storytelling, I found I needed a more dynamic way for the characters to talk to each other. I originally had a website with discussion boards. Then I got a little funding and decided to use a Ning community to further develop the characters. I figured that eventually fans would want to talk to them directly and have an effect on the story, so I wanted a dynamic community.
What others tools does the Rokkus machine run on?
We use Ning, Live365, Weebly, ReverbNation, MusicXRay, Facebook, YouTube and increasingly Twitter. And a lot of Google Docs.
What other options did you consider?
I am pretty much a one man band on the tech side of things. I contract some stuff out and have a bunch of folks who pitch in on audio projects. But the web stuff is almost all on me. I needed something more robust than chat rooms, so I began to learn Drupal in order to build the site of my dreams. But I have a LOT of other hats to wear and to be honest, Rokkus.com would not be here like it is if I had to learn a CMS and build it myself. When I found Ning, I literally dropped what I was doing and signed up.
Have you achieved your original objectives?
Absolutely. Ning has allowed me a way to manage content, flesh out the characters and maintain a community. My goals for the site were different, I think, than a normal community manager. I am using Ning as a canvas, so almost all of the content on the site is generated by me or other actors. We are creating content that future audiences will come and explore. But the story must have the element of time, so we have been planting storyline seeds in content for a while. All of this while we built the 24/7 radio station. We now have 7 shows on the air, we have a network of artists involved and we rock
This summer we're beta launch-ing and doing some live events. We have an IndieGoGo campaign rolling out next month. We've got some other things set up that should get us noticed. We are looking at a big influx of members in the coming months so the community will start to grow and form. It's gonna be cool.
How do you measure success or the ROI of the time and effort you put into cultivating your community?
As the community grows I'll better be able to answer that question. Much of the creation of Rokkus is in upfront sunk costs that will amortize over the lifetime of the property. So it will ultimately be valued based on it's popularity in the future. Hard to tell, but I think the production costs through Ning are negligible.
You've got a pretty large following on Facebook, as well. Do you have advice for managing a complimentary Facebook page for your community?
OK, first off it helps to have no life and spend too much time on Facebook and other socials. It also helps to have a wife who does the same thing. I manage my page /ourmanstarr and /rokkusradio. Each of the characters has a page -- and I am the online curator for /localmusicvibemarin.
It also helps to have popular friends who send traffic your way. I have been lucky enough to attend the San Francisco Music Tech Summit for the last three years and I have made great connections with companies that later became partners. When someone like ReverbNation puts in a good word for you, it really helps.
I think it also points to the popularity of the idea. We have continuous built Facebook with nothing but word of mouth marketing. When I tell people that I am building a comedy, parody radio station and they hear about the characters and the music, they fall in love a little bit. They get excited. I've had people thank me without having ever listened to the station. Probably later regretted it, but they said it, so it counts. It is the story of a plucky band of misfits trying to save rock and roll, so anyone who loves the underdog takes to it.
A big part of Rokkus Radio's structure is that we can deliver the story to other platforms like Facebook and Twitter as channels. So using Ning, with it's ability to cross post to Twitter (and then on to Facebook) lets me cover all the bases from one location.
Are the DJ's and listeners interacting with each other in the forums? How do the DJ's like having that closer relationship with their fans?
As of right now, the production hasn't fully launched, so we haven't seen a lot of interactivity. There have been some users who were very active and had fun with the DJs. Once we have a larger membership and listenership I see this closeness being a big attraction for us.
Any tips or lessons learned for running a live radio show?
Haven't really done a live show, but I have had to so some announcing in the past. I would say: Say as little as you need to until you get comfortable and watch your "Umms" and "You knows"
What features of the Ning Platform are most important to you and your members?
Right now, the most important feature for me is the ability to post music. Most of my members are bands and they post their own music and I post music from bands that have submitted with host introductions. It is the best way to get to know the hosts and a fun way to hear new music.
Do you have any advice for other people similar to you who are considering building an online community?
I don't think I am sucessful enough using it as a narrative medium to dispense advice!
What is the most surprising thing you've learned by creating Rokkus Radio?
How active the rest of the world is in Rock music. A big number of my listeners and members come from non-english speaking countries and the music from those countries Rocks! Some of it is in English, some of it is in their native language, but it is the real deal. The tradition of rock music has gone global and the next stage in it's evolution is worldwide inclusion.
Favorite Rokkus moment?
We accept in submissions from anyone through ReverbNation and MusicXray. We play a lot of music from bands that are great, but have never been given a chance by anyone else. I had spent the better part of my Christmas vacation reviewing around 3,000 submissions from bands. I selected about 9%. That's a lot of chaff. My friends and family got used to hearing me grumble about bad music, weak vocalists and endless song intros. When I was done, I sent out a mass email to the bands that had been accepted. It was just a quick not to tell them when they'd be on and what Rokkus was all about. Then i went to bed, glad I was finally finished with that load of submissions.
When I woke up, I grabbed some coffee, sat down, checked my email and started deleting the non-delivery notices and the out-of-office auto responders. In the middle of it all was an email from one of the performers. He had written back less than an hour after I sent out the mass email. He wrote the most heartfelt note, thanking me for accepting his song. He told me of how hard it was to get music played on the radio, how impossible it was to get an agent or record contract if you live in the mid-west and how much trouble he had keeping his spirits up. Then he thanked me for believing in him. This was such a wonderfully heartfelt note, I am not ashamed to say tears came to my eyes.
That's when I realized I wasn't in the "online radio" business, or the "transmedia entertainment" business, I was in the business of hope. Of helping dreamers. Of supporting dreams. Forget the phony DJs and the stories and the games -- this is the heart of Rokkus Radio. Reaching out a helping hand to artists, musos and bands.

Pacific Northwest Ballet: It's A Plot
McCaw Hall
March 19, 2022, evening
Plot Points Program: Before I Was, Caught, Plot Point, The Times Are Racing
Dean Speer
Many years ago I saw a ballet titled Love Songs at the QE Theatre in Vancouver, BC, and while very well performed, it was anything but about love. In fact, an older woman who was seated a couple of rows in front of me stood up at its conclusion and very loudly declaimed for all to hear, "I do NOT come to the ballet to see violence against women!" Wow, and good for her.
I preface my own thoughts on PNB's latest program with this small story, as I'm sure and hope it was unintentional on the choreographer's part (Robyn Mineko Williams), but her new Before I Was ballet included a scene of unwanted sexual intercourse — at least as how I saw it, with male and female (James Moore and Elizabeth Murphy), legs shaking and appearing as if he's forcing himself upon her, with her seeming to act as if it was unwanted. If the choreographer wanted to depict a romantic attraction and attachment of this couple, I think this could and should be edited out and shown by some other means. Otherwise, it mars the rest of the work — at least for me.
Before I Was does have a kind premise — two children (danced/acted) by two PNB School students, Edith Stockton and Marcus Wei) who are shown as growing up together, with the original intent of having them become a couple as they mature into adulthood. I liked the set (Andrew Boyce) of a simple outline and suggestion of a house and the original music, accompanied by the mighty PNB Orchestra and with songs provided by the live vocals of the composers, Macie Stewart and Sima Cunningham, who appeared on stage.
From my view, Before I Was ended up being disturbing rather than what I believe was intended.

I always enjoy seeing Caught — either by PNB dancers or by choreographer David Parsons' own company, Parsons Dance. It's a clever concept and magical in its execution — the use of what I'm assuming to be a clicker by the solo dancer (Melisa Guilliams) and strobe lighting to create the effect of literally dancing across the air, floating as it were. Except for brief "a terre" sections in between, the dance takes place entirely "en l'air" with Guilliams jumping, leaping, and traveling about, with her dancing eliciting cheers and deserved applause from the audience who ate it up. It concluded with the dancer apparently dropping out of the sky to the stage. Parsons is a very good modern dance/contemporary creative soul and it would be fun to perhaps have additional works of his active in the PNB canon.
Crystal Pite wrote extensive and interesting program notes about her piece, Plot Point and, in a sense, wrote my review for me (thank you). This was my third and welcome viewing of it, and it was fun to see it this time again, knowing what to expect and to try to see it more deeply, as there is a lot of action happening. Pite's humor shows in the cinematic-like opening where she quickly summarizes all three acts in rapid fashion — something like "all you need to know in five minutes or less" (I think it may have been more like three, but I wasn't consulting my timepiece.)
Pacific Northwest Ballet in Crystal Pite's "Plot Point"
Accompanied by the PNB Orchestra, Pite uses the Bernard Herrmann score made for Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho" — yes, including the screechy sounds that depicted its infamous shower scene with Janet Leigh. The dancers are often, but not always, completely covered (faces too) in gauze when in a "replica" or "shadow" mode.
This time, I found that her ballet follows what's called a storyboard, rather than straight-forward narrative — of deception, revenge, thugs-for-hire, and murder. It really doesn't end happily for anyone, except for one character who seems to have "gotten away with it."
The piece provided a good dancing/acting challenge for its brilliant cast of Joshua Grant, Amanda Morgan, Price Suddarth, Leah Terada, Ezra Thomson, Clara Ruf Maldonado, Christian Poppe, Jonathan Batista, Christopher D'Ariano, Genevieve Waldorf, Kyle Davis, Madison Rayn Abeo, Noah Martzall, and Angelica Generosa.
in Justin Peck's "The Times Are Racing"
Justin Peck's dances and choreography always give us a good time — he understands composition and always seems to come up with fresh ideas. His The Times Are Racing has the dancers all wearing sneakers/athletic wear and he begins his dance with the cast in a cluster, alternating encircling a sole dancer…and the piece grows and develops from there. The Times Are Racing is a large group work that's energetic, overtly athletic and filled with just plain, good ol'-fashioned dancing.
There was a strong conclusion to the mixed-bill program that ranged from the creepy and murderous to insanely happy. PNB has weathered the Pandemic storm, had a few bruises like so many along the way, and has gratefully returned to live in-person performances (and smartly still offering digital/streaming options). The company is stronger than ever and poised for continued greatness. It provides art in a time — politically and otherwise, where we all need it, now more than ever.

Q: How to grab byte[] of an Image in java? I have a url of an Image. Now I want to get the byte[] of that image. How can I get that image in byte form.
Actually the image is a captcha image. I am using decaptcher.com to solve that captcha. To send that captcha image to the decaptcher.com through its API, the image should in in bytes array.
That's why I want to get the image at the url to be in bytes form.

A: EDIT
From this SO question I've got how to read an input stream into a byte array.
Here's the revised program.
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class ReadBytes {
    public static void main( String [] args ) throws IOException {

        URL url = new URL("http://sstatic.net/so/img/logo.png");

            // Read the image ...
        InputStream inputStream      = url.openStream();
        ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
        byte [] buffer               = new byte[ 1024 ];

        int n = 0;
        while (-1 != (n = inputStream.read(buffer))) {
           output.write(buffer, 0, n);
        }
        inputStream.close();

        // Here's the content of the image...
        byte [] data = output.toByteArray();

    // Write it to a file just to compare...
    OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("data.png");
    out.write( data );
    out.close();

    // Print it to stdout
        for( byte b : data ) {
            System.out.printf("0x%x ", b);
        }
    }
}

This may work for very small images. For larger ones, ask/search about "read input stream into byte array"
Now the code I posted works for larger images too.

A: You may want to read this for reading an image in. ImageIO.Read(url) will give you a Buffered Image Which you can then ask for information. I use the getRGB method on BufferedReader to read individual pixels.

A: If you want the byte string as it is stored on disk, just create a socket and open the image file. Then read the bytes as they come down the wire.
I don't have any sample code handy and it's been a while since I've done this, so excuse me if I've got the details wrong to be sure I give this to you straight, but the basic idea would be:
URL imageUrl=new URL("http://someserver.com/somedir/image.jpg");
URLConnection imageConnect=imageUrl.openConnection();
imageConnect.connect();
InputStream is=imageConnect.getInputStream();
... read from the input stream ...

Over my many years in the CPA profession, I have worked with firms of all sizes – sole-proprietors with one location to Top 100 firms with nationwide representation. Honestly, the challenges and frustrations CPAs working in public practice face are pretty much the same no matter what the size of the firm.
I really enjoy working with smaller CPA firms and my current client list is made up almost entirely of smaller firms (under 50 total FTEs). I find the smaller the firm, the more they are under-served by outside consultants.
For many of my smaller firm clients, I always recommend they get involved in the AICPA PCPS Networking Groups. There are groups for Small, Medium and Large Firms. These groups are especially valuable to small firms. Currently, there are four small firm groups, two medium firm groups, and one large firm group. The groups meet twice per year.
Through each group's informal system, networking group members may take advantage of the valuable knowledge of their colleagues and share their own knowledge with their peers. While many group members are firm owners/partners, any member of a PCPS firm is welcome to attend networking group meetings. Learn more here.
If you have questions regarding networking groups, please call them at 1-800-CPA-FIRM or email them at pcps@aicpa.org. They would love to hear from you!

437: Casey O'Leary on Seed Cooperatives.
Stewarding our seed futures with regional growers working together.
Casey is a seed freak and urban farmer in Boise, Idaho. On her farm which is called Earthly Delights, she grows oodles of seed crops as well as vegetables, herbs, and flowers for her CSA members. She also co-founded the Snake River Seed Cooperative, which now involves over 30 Intermountain West farmers stewarding nearly 400 varieties of regionally-adapting seeds, which they sell to area farmers and gardeners. Casey loves to talk with others about the wondrous interconnections of the natural world.
We dove into the world of urban seed saving and starting a seed co-op with Casey O'Leary. She has worn many hats: an environmental activist, farmer, CSA owner, and founder of the Snake River Seed Cooperative. She now supports her bioregion (and the world) with seeds specific to her area and educates on seed saving in her upcoming seed school. Her CSA challenges members to learn how to cook a variety of food, and they educate members on how to prepare and store new items.
Her failure – Mistakes happen, but with plants, make sure you know what you have before you market it!
Her success – The seed co-op and the 50,000 packets of seed per year that didn't exist before it started.
Her drive – To do ethical work that she believes in and create solutions for positive change.
Her advice – Let at least one of your plants go to flower and save the seeds from it and plant them the next year.


Boarding at Bootham is often described as providing a "home away from home." The School provides a warm and friendly environment, run on sensible lines with normal family common sense applied.
Each house has two resident staff, with other day staff and resident graduate assistants working alongside them.
Bootham recognises that an active relationship between staff, students, parents and guardians lies at the heart of a positive boarding experience, and therefore welcomes communication from students' families.
Sixth form boarding is increasingly popular at Bootham. Parents are happy that their child is becoming more independent before entering the world of higher education or employment, whilst students value the extra time they can spend on studies or with friends.
The international nature of boarding also brings benefits. Children learn to understand different peoples and different cultures and by living in a thriving community based on mutual respect, they gain the necessary global outlook needed to succeed in today's world.
A nurturing community where each person has the opportunity to develop physically, socially, intellectually and spiritually.
• A safe community where disagreements are resolved peacefully.
• An inclusive community where no-one is discriminated against unfairly.
• A confident community where the unique contribution of each individual is celebrated.
• A thoughtful and forgiving community where we everyone takes responsibility for themselves and others.
The school has three boarding houses, each of which provides homely and comfortable accommodation in elegant Georgian buildings. Each house has its own common room, kitchen facilities for making snacks, a student laundry and Wi-Fi.
The School has an onsite health centre which meets the needs of students who require medical attention, health education or simply a quiet place to rest when respite is required. GP surgery sessions are held in school on Tuesday and Friday mornings for students registered with the school doctor. Boarding students may wish to see the school doctor on a personal basis and this can be arranged through the Health Centre or by contacting the Doctor's surgery direct.
Our full and weekly boarders, who stay at School for between 4 and 7 nights per week, make the houses their home. Friends who are day students may stay over and every day student may have two nights free sleepover per term at a time agreed with the house staff. This is always popular therefore advanced booking with the relevant housemaster/housemistress is essential!
Students can also choose to board for two or three nights every week.
"The quality of boarding is excellent. Outcomes for boarders are excellent and are highly effective in enhancing the boarders' personal development. The school has engendered a powerful sense of community and there is a high emphasis upon contributing to society. The boarding experience is wholly underpinned by the school's Quaker ethos with its emphasis on respecting the rights of others and on equality. Standards of behaviour, based on mutual respect and concern for others, are high. Boarders are poised, confident and outgoing, engaging readily with one another, their teachers and visitors. Overseas boarders are seamlessly assimilated into the school community. Boarders exhibit great loyalty to the school, and are happy and feel well looked after. Relationships with boarding staff are excellent, and boarders are confident that they have someone they can speak to if they have any concerns. Boarders also value the friendships they make with one another, and actively seek to live in harmony together. Boarders have ready access to information about events in the world outside the school and to local facilities, as appropriate to their age. Boarders contribute to the boarding community both formally and informally, including being able to make known their views about their boarding experience. They report that there is a strong informal support system within each house, with older pupils actively setting out to be role models for younger pupils.
Subject to space being available in the boarding houses, all students are welcome to come and try out boarding at Bootham. If your child is interested in staying with us then please complete the form below and email to our Director of Boarding and Wellbeing, Beth Steer at Beth.Steer@boothamschool.com who will get in touch as soon as possible. Please aim to leave a week between the request being submitted and the required boarding date.
Each student is welcome to stay with us for two free nights a term, after which a charge of £35 will be added to the school bill for each additional night (up to 8 extra nights a term.) Their stay will include all meals, bedding and access to evening activities.
We look forward to welcoming your child to boarding at Bootham.
Bootham School is situated in the beautiful and historic city of York. This wonderful location provides easy access to world-class cultural attractions, beautiful countryside and stunning coastline.


Shape a rice ball using the handled mould: this will be the basis for your onigiri. We recommend to use a sticky Japanese rice for an easier process.
Use one of the nori punches and the cutting board to cut details for Hello Kitty - use your imagination and mix the different face and decoration cutters in your own personal way!
This product is not Microwave-safe or Dishwasher-safe. Keep out of children's reach (includes sharp parts).


Parking is in the farmyard - there is an 80m walk up a woodland track to the cabin so may not be so easy for the less able. We are always happy to help with luggage.
We are always happy to help should you need any suggestions or inspiration about places to visit or local walks. On the other hand if you would rather be left alone to relax and unwind, that's fine too!
Guildford is a lovely old market town with cobbled high street, for shopping, a great mix of designer and multiples and lots of little cafes and good restaurants. Around Guildford there are lots of picturesque villages like Shere and Albury; Shere is often used for filming (Bridget Jones, The Holiday....) Shere has a really nice cafe - the Dabbling Duck (shabby chic style), good for a light lunch or tea. Then there's our local pub, William 1V - probably everyones idea of what a country pub should be, complete with grumpy landlord! Plus great countryside on our doorstep for walking / biking / riding.
We are fairly secluded here; public transport isn't that accessible. Probably best to bring a car unless you are happy to arrive by taxi from Guildford station and are here to enjoy the walking or biking! Other stations are closer (Gomshall, Chilworth) but you would need to pre-book a taxi.

Cincinnati Bengals Xtra: New helmets and a supplemental steal?
Cincinnati Bengals Xtra: New helmets and is there a supplemental draft steal available?
Astute fans perusing The Enquirer's photo galleries from the Cincinnati Bengals' organized team activities noticed that quarterback Andy Dalton, among other players, were sporting new helmets during the workouts.
There has indeed been a change of headgear for the eighth-year quarterback, as he found out the model he was using was going to be phased out of the league in 2019. So, Dalton just decided to just wear a new one this season.
There is some experimentation regarding fit, and each player can choose his own helmet, but the most important thing for Dalton was the sightlines – and there are no problems there.
There are several other players who have swapped helmets in 2018, including second-year running back Joe Mixon.
"It was a safety issue," said Mixon who missed two games with a concussion last year. "It's the second safest helmet in the NFL. I wanted to for safety issues and things like that. At the same time, football is football, things can happen. They said you should try it out. I was on a standby and didn't know what I really wanted to do until OTAs came through I tried it on and started liking it."
Others have noticed that the black striping painted on the new helmets during the spring sessions is slightly different from player to player, and that is due to a manufacturer error. When the players reconvene for training camp at the end of July, the striping will be once again be uniform across the locker room.
Some of the changes were mandated by the league and the NFL Players Association, which annually tests helmets and decided to take 10 models out of circulation this season.
The NFL has held a supplemental draft since 1977, though only 43 players have been selected. It allows players who had their college eligibility eliminated after the regular draft to be selected, but it requires a team to forfeit the corresponding round draft choice the following year. For instance, when the Cleveland Browns picked wide receiver Josh Gordon out of Baylor in the second round of the 2012 supplemental draft, they gave up their second round pick in 2013.
The last player taken in the supplemental draft was offensive tackle Isaiah Battle, who was picked by the Los Angeles Ramsin the fifth round.
The Bengals have dipped their toe into these waters just once, taking linebacker Ahmad Brooks out of Virginia in the third round in 2006. Injuries derailed his three-year career with the club, but he went on to become a Pro Bowler in San Francisco.
This year's supplemental draft group might pique the Bengals interest, though.
Virginia Tech defensive back Adonis Alexander is now eligible to be selected. A three-year player for the Hokies, he has seven interceptions and 17 passes defensed. He's a 6-foot, 3-inch, 207 pound player who has some versatility and fits some physical profiles for the Bengals.
Joining Alexander are Mississippi State safety Brandon Bryant and Western Michigan corner Sam Beal and they, too, fit positions and physical traits that suit the Bengals.
Bryant is just 5-11, 200 pounds but has been clocked running the 40-yard dash as low as 4.24 seconds and is incredibly strong. Beal is 6-2, 195 pounds and finished his career with two interceptions and 10 passes defensed.
The Bengals have some late round picks to play with.
They own all of their own picks in 2019 and are expected to have up to five, sixth-round picks (their own, one from Dallas in the Bené Benwikeretrade, and a projected three compensatory picks). While they don't have the supplemental selections right now, they safely can presume they'll get at least one and could therefore give up their own pick in the supplemental process without a blink.
The process for selecting players in the supplemental draft is different than the regular draft, however. Teams will submit the highest round they are willing to give up for a player, and if another team matches that round, the player will go to the team that has the highest draft order from the previous season. It does give the Bengals an advantage should they choose to make a pick, because they would have the 12th pick in each round.
Defensive end Michael Johnson is a powerful voice in the locker room and in the community, and he took his message to the podium the last week of May to be the keynote speaker at the graduation ceremony at Dohn Community High School, located at 608 E McMillan St.
The Andy and Jordan Dalton Foundation (AJDF) has been affecting the communities of Cincinnati and Dallas for years, but it rose to national prominence in January when Dalton hit Tyler Boyd for a game-winning touchdown in Baltimore in the season finale. Why? Because the Bengals' victory over the Ravens sent Buffalo to the postseason, and Bills fans contributed right around $400,000 to the quarterback's initiatives, as well as causing Boyd to start his own foundation.


When you increase your social media presence, you'll find that your brand awareness is reaching new heights on a daily basis.
Social media has become such an integral part of everyday life that we often take it for granted. But for most businesses, it can be a huge asset. When you increase your social media presence, you'll find that your brand awareness is reaching new heights on a daily basis.
The social media we know today evolved from older social networks that existed on the Internet. Twitter and Facebook are two of the most well-known; besides being populated by celebrities (who might be able to endorse your brands and companies, increasing your visibility!) Instagram and Pinterest are two other popular social channels. Despite differences in interface and communication methods, all social media sites allow new users to create a new profile that represents them on the web. From this profile, they can express themselves and make their voice heard.
If you don't maintain your social media sites, it will reflect poorly on your business. It is important to carefully curate all of the information and content that appears on your pages. Make sure all text is properly proofread, and that images and videos show what you would like to display. Cybersecurity is a huge part of a proper social media presence because a hacked account can cause a lot of problems. Although you should post often, don't get too repetitive or spammy, and find new sources of information that will keep your followers engaged.
On the Internet, almost anything can go viral. Try to spread positive information and wholesome content that is also professional and engaging. Make sure to prominently display share buttons on your company website. The more links that get shared, the more attention your business gets. That's why social media is so valuable. Make sure you respond to customer questions and concerns – don't let them get ignored, and although you are bound to meet with complaints, do your best to gracefully accept any criticism.

Liposuction surgery is becoming increasingly popular among men. The possibilities offered by the advancements in the cosmetic techniques and technology, and the understanding of how a safe and simple procedure can improve their lifestyle and even career prospects are the reasons for this trend.
While hormonal changes cause drastic changes in a woman's appearance, men are not likely to experience such changes and are supposed to age gracefully. However, as maintaining a trim physique becomes more and more challenging, men are now utilizing the possibilities offered by liposuction to contour the body. This plastic surgery procedure is designed to remove excess fatty deposits resistant to diet and exercise. Men opt for lipolysis to improve love handles, abdominal fat deposits, and the chest.
According to British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, liposuction recorded a 41% rise in 2013 from the previous year. With 554 men undergoing the treatment – an increase of 28% from 2012 – it was the fourth most popular procedure among men. The scenario was similar in the U.S. Statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons show that men accounted for 23,558 liposuction procedures in 2013 with an increase of 3% from 2012, making it the third most popular procedure among men.
Laser liposuction is a great option for men looking to achieve six-pack abs for a more masculine appearance as well as to contour the face and jawline. Minimally invasive technologies such as SmartLipo Triplex liposuction have contributed to the popularity of body contouring surgery and facelifts among men. SmartLipo uses local anesthesia and bleeding, swelling, pain and scarring are minimal. Moreover, downtime is minimal and recovery much faster than with traditional liposuction techniques.
The key to successful treatment lies in finding the right plastic surgeon, a qualified and experienced professional at an accredited plastic surgery facility.
