On a weekly basis, 32 million Americans spend 2 hours at one of 30,000 laundromats across the country. What if that time and space could be used to meet people where they are with essential health services? Learn how Fabric Health is breaking down barriers to care and building community trust at laundromats across Philadelphia.
By Courtney Bragg, Co-Founder of Fabric Health
At Aspen Ideas: Health 2022, Courtney joined other local leaders to discuss how familiar community spaces, such as laundromats, grocery stores, and barber shops, can play an important role in connecting people to the health services they need. Here, she shares how her organization is providing trusted, last-mile health care engagement to busy families at laundromats across North and West Philadelphia (and soon Pittsburgh and Washington).
America is facing a crisis. As many as 14 million people may lose their health insurance this fall due to some unintended consequences of good policy.
When the pandemic began, Congress enacted the continuous coverage requirement to automatically re-enroll Medicaid recipients during the public health emergency. But as states "unwind" continuous coverage and require re-enrollment, those recipients are facing three major obstacles to continuing coverage.
Time: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services paused Medicaid redetermination, but families haven't become less busy during the pandemic, and they're now being told, "Surprise! Please find time to navigate this new, complex process."
Contact: Many state health departments and insurers lack updated contact information for the majority of their members. How does someone re-enroll if we can't find them?
Trust: Misinformation, coupled with a lack of trust in institutions, prevents urgent messages from breaking through the noise of people's daily lives.
The answer, I believe, is to meet people where they already are.
On a weekly basis, 32 million Americans spend 2 hours at one of 30,000 laundromats across the country. With that insight, I co-founded Fabric Health and, in partnership with the state of Pennsylvania, we helped over a thousand families answer health insurance questions and navigate enrollment in Philadelphia as their towels tumbled. Families welcomed us and were excited to receive support from familiar faces—people who met them where they were, when they had time.
Every day, millions of families are sitting, waiting at laundromats—we are too. We believe that we can prevent a public health disaster by simply showing up where people already need to be. Fabric's trusted relationships will help us close care gaps and improve well-being week after week, while the towels are tumbling.
It doesn't end with Medicaid redetermination. When organizations work to meet families where they are, in the time they have, the problem of last-mile delivery can be overcome and all kinds of societal issues can be addressed. And sometimes that last mile is just a quick walk to the corner laundromat.

Two Saints get caught sinning. Plus, swirling down the post-NFL drug-addiction drain.
By MATT TAIBBI | May 13, 2009
HOSE WOES: Practice-squad scrubs around the NFL will most likely be keeping it in their pants this offseason, after two New Orleans Saints players were booted from the team for lewd conduct and obscenity.
The Sports Genius of the Week Award is actually going to be shared by a pair of now-former New Orleans Saints fringe-roster players, wide receiver Biren Ealy and tight end Kolomona Kapanui. These two yahoos won themselves an all-expenses-paid ticket to a career bagging groceries after getting arrested for indecent exposure in a late-night fiasco this past week.
National Football Conference
Both Kapanui and Ealy were picked up by New Orleans last year. Neither has ever had a whiff of real NFL playing time and both were at best long shots to make the Saints' 53-man roster. Let's be honest: a high draft pick may, while drunkenly urinating in public, turn around and accost female passers-by by flogging his member and reasonably expect to keep his job. But a practice-squad scrub? No chance.
Yet that is exactly what these two dummies did. Apparently, both were peeing in the bushes outside the Jefferson Parish apartment complex where they lived, when suddenly two women pulled up to the entrance. When they asked the men to stop pissing, Ealy allegedly turned around and started making lewd comments. According to reports, Kapanui one-upped him and began "fondling himself while making lewd comments."
The two women "yelled for help and dialed 911." Kapanui and Ealy were booked on charges of obscenity, disturbing the peace by being drunk in public, and lewd conduct, and quickly cut loose from the team. Give them 40 points apiece for the wiener wagging.
Just didn't say no
Yet another ex-NFL football player has circled the drain of drug addiction and dropped down the dank hole of the criminal-justice system. This time, the offending player is Sam Rayburn, who some of you might remember as an overachieving defensive tackle whose best seasons were probably with the Philadelphia Eagles a few years back. Rayburn's career was cut short by a rash of injuries. And the addiction is not for recreational drug use, but for painkillers. He racked up a Dana Plato–style felony prescription-forgery arrest in Chickasha, Oklahoma, where he's charged with faking scrip for painkillers like Oxycodone and Lortab at a series of local pharmacies.
"It gets to the point where you either have to say 'I've got to put it down,' or you make a stupid decision, which, unfortunately, is what I did," Rayburn said. "I still have pain. I did become addicted to it."
Meanwhile, another football player was being arrested a few miles north for a similar offense. Blaine Dalton, the third-string quarterback for the University of Missouri, was busted for possession of hydrocodone after a routine traffic stop. Showing his NFL-worthiness, Dalton pulled a Ty Law and said the drugs belonged to a former teammate who had accidentally left them in his glove box. Solid move. Dalton has been suspended from the team indefinitely.
As for Rayburn, the poor sap, he claims now to have been clean for 50 days — he says he completed rehab and is going to try to educate others about his experience. Amazingly, the guy is only 28 — he could still be playing. It's truly depressing that people have to get criminal records for painkiller addictions; give him six points for sacrificing his body in his playing days.
When he's not googling "big sleazy" and "scold that Tiger," Matt Taibbi writes for Rolling Stone. He can be reached at m_taibbi@yahoo.com.

Since the beginning, Fozzy has been about hard work, dedication, and delivering great rock 'n' roll to their devoted fans worldwide; reminding them that music is all about invoking dirty, sweaty jubilation and doing it loudly! The band formed in 2000 to release their self-titled debut album.
Throughout the years, Fozzy released six progressively popular records, including 2012's Sin & Bones, featuring the hit single "Sandpaper", which found the band reaching a level of legitimacy that drew a mass audience to drink in their trademark heavy melodic groove. More recently, the hard rockers released their seventh studio album, Judas, which includes their explosive title track. "Judas" catapulted up the Active Rock Radio Chart. Fozzy's follow-up singles "Painless", which peaked at #7 on the Active Rock Mediabase Chart, and "Burn Me Out", which peaked at #17 on the Active Rock Mediabase Chart, solidified the band as Rock superstars.

Are you one of the countless others who think that a chiropractor Delray Beach is only good at fixing necks and backs? Although they're the best people to turn to when you're experiencing those aches, creaks, pains, and strains, there's more to them than that. They specialize in disorders of your musculoskeletal and nervous systems and how these affect the other parts of your body. Most people don't realize that a chiropractor also has postgraduate training and board certification in areas such as nutrition, pediatrics, neurology, orthopedics, acupuncture, physical rehabilitation, and athletic injuries. Here are other things that you may not know about chiropractors.
Don't be surprised if your chiropractor asks how you move and position your body when you stand, sit, walk, or lie in bed at night. Their ultimate goal isn't just to relieve your symptoms but also to restore your health over the long term. They encourage you to incorporate stretching exercises into your daily routine to prevent future musculoskeletal problems.
A chiropractor can treat pain in your jaw, head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. When they examine their patients, they don't just make sure that their joints are functioning well and moving as they should, but they also check if their surrounding muscles are in good condition. Furthermore, they provide complementary care for problems such as migraines and headaches, plantar fasciitis, and shoulder pain.
Since chiropractors don't prescribe meds, they focus on changing lifestyle habits to correct a particular problem. For example, a chiropractor may prescribe soft-tissue therapy to release tension in the connective tissue that surrounds your muscles, joint bracing to support sprained muscles and joints, exercises and stretches to promote the restoration of the patient's mobility and range of motion.
Do You Need a Chiropractor Delray Beach?
If you're injured, ill or experiencing decreased function due to an accident or disease, you need a Chiropractor Delray Beach. Contact us today for more information or to set up an appointment. At Basis Medical, we aim to heal you.


The Montmartre cemetery is not as big as those of Père Lachaise and Montparnasse, but is well worth having a wander around in order to fully appreciate the bohemian and picturesque air of the district.
In 1798 the first cemetery was placed measuring a little more than one hectare, but it soon became too small. In 1825 the cemetery was placed in an old plaster quarry. This quarry had given the district the name of Barrière Blanche, White District. Originally some galleries in the quarry had been used to clandestinely bury victims of the uprisings of the French Revolution.
In the past it was a creepy spot, full of common graves where the remains of the poor were thrown. But after a profound remodelling in 1879, it now contains the remains of many leading figures, above all artists from the early 19th century.
The composer Hector Berlioz liked this cemetery so much that he decided to settle here, once he had died, of course. Other personalities buried in Montmartre are the painter and sculptor Edgar Degas, the writer Stendhal, the dancer Nijinsky, the film director François Truffaut and the writer Émile Zola. The composer Jacques Offenbach, to whom Paris owes a great deal since he was the creator of the Can-Can tune, has his tomb here. So does La Goulue, one of the first dancers of the Can-Can who was a model for Toulouse Lautrec.
Close to the Montmartre cemetery, on the outskirts of the Square Roland Dorgeles is another cemetery that often goes unnoticed. It is the Saint Vincent cemetery. Here rest other artists from the district such as the composer Arthur Honegger and the writer Marcel Aymé. The most outstanding tomb in this small cemetery is that of the painter Maurice Utrillo, the artist of Montmartre par excellence, who immortalised corners of the district in many of his paintings.
So now you know, we recommend this quiet walk among the brilliance and creativity of these illustrious figures.

Q: Selecting time ranges for creating an event not working in day and week view with jquery 1.8 Earlier i was using jquery 1.7.0 and every thing was working fine.
But when i upgraded to jquery 1.8 Selecting time ranges for creating an event is not working in agendaWeek and agendaDay but works fine with month.
Here is my code :
$('#Calendar').fullCalendar({
    header: {
        left: 'prev,next today',
        center: 'title',
        right: 'month,agendaWeek,agendaDay'
    },
    firstHour: (new Date()).getHours(),
    minTime: 4,
    maxTime: 24,
    slotMinutes: 15,
    allDaySlot: false,
    defaultView: 'agendaWeek',
    eventSources: [
    // code for event source

    ],
    editable: false,
    selectable: true,
    selectHelper: true,
    ignoreTimezone: true,
    loading: function (isLoading) {
        //code for image loading
           .............
    },
    select:function (start, end, allDay) {
           //Code on Select
           ................
                },
    eventClick: function (calEvent, jsEvent, view) {
        //Code on event clicked
             .......................
        });
    },
    eventRender: function (event, element) {
       // Code on event Rendered
            .................
        });
    }
});

When i am using jquery 1.7 Selecting time ranges for creating an event in day and week works perfectly as shown in fig below.

However Selecting time ranges for creating an event stops working when i upgrade to jquery1.8.

Thanks in Advance

A: The correct answer is given by Regin Larsen in the comments.
Need to upgrade fullcalendar to version 1.5.4 and jquery ui to 1.8.23.

Die Rocca di Villalago ist eine Burg in der italienischen Gemeinde Villalago in der Provinz L'Aquila.

Geschichte

Die Höhenburg in strategischer Lage auf einem Hügel über dem Valle di Sagittario diente der Verteidigung und der Beobachtung. Vermutlich ist sie langobardischen Ursprungs und aus dem 8. Jahrhundert. Sie diente auch als Gefängnis.

Heute ist in einigen Räumen das Museum für Kunst und Volkstum von Villalago untergebracht.

Das Gebäude bestand aus einer Verteidigungsmauer und einem zylindrischen Bergfried zur Beobachtung, der ungefähr 10–12 Meter hoch war, mit Zinnen versehen und im romanischen Baustil.

Die Verteidigungsmauer wurde teilweise durch Wohnhäuser ersetzt; heute ist nur noch der Bergfried in gutem Erhaltungszustand übrig geblieben.

Beschreibung

Das Museo dei Mestieri della Rocca
Es wurde 2003 in den Sälen des Baronpalastes eröffnet. Es besteht aus einigen Sälen, in denen Informationstafeln und originalgetreue Reproduktionen alter Handwerkskunst des Ortes ausgestellt sind. Insbesondere ist die Arbeit der Hirten und ihre Züge durch die Abruzzen beschrieben. Anschließend werden die Handwerke des Fischers und des Müllers aufgelistet.

Baronspalast
Er bildet den hauptsächlichen Baukörper der Burg und wurde im Mittelalter errichtet. Heute ist dort das oben beschriebene Museum untergebracht. Der Palast hat einen viereckig-unregelmäßigen Grundriss und ist durch ein Gesims in zwei Ebenen geteilt. Die Fenster sind rechteckig.

Mittelalterlicher Turm und Oratorium der Schmerzensmutter
Der langobardische Turm ist der älteste Teil der gesamten Anlage. Er hat einen kreisrunden Grundriss, ein Hüttendach (ähnlich einer Pagode) und kleine Fenster zum Ausguck. Unten sind Ruinen eines zweiten Turmes erhalten, die in einen Aussichtspunkt für Touristen umgebaut wurden. Auch den zylindrischen Turm kann man besichtigen.

In der Nähe des Turmes liegen auch die Reste einer mittelalterlichen Adelskapelle, die zum Baronspalast gehört. Das Oratorium der Mater Dolorosa wurde um das 14. Jahrhundert errichtet und zeigt Spuren von Fresken.

Outdoor church services were quite a common site in the Highlands from the mid-19th century. Sometimes the local church was too small to hold the entire congregation but more likely the congregation had broken away from the established Church of Scotland in the split of 1843 and formed one of the new Presbyterian denominations.
Most of the congregation are sitting on the ground, although there are some benches. The small wooden hut is a 'Preacher's Hut', which kept the preacher dry.

Take a moment to stop what you're doing. Breathe in deeply, exhale, and continue reading this glorious post.
Today we communicate at light speed and move even faster. It's hard to take time to slow down in a world that is speeding up. There's so much visual information and audible noise around us that our mind would be completely overwhelmed if we processed it all. We automatically filter the information, looking for perceived relevance.
Autopilot means losing meaning and purpose in life. Looking too much into the future or regretting the past and not giving enough meaning to the events unfolding before us…good or bad. This is a sure-fire way for me to live a 2-dimensional reality. I have 5 actions I take to make sure I'm checked into reality and it all starts with intention.
Living a life of purpose is living your life on purpose.
Intention is the key to opening my senses to the beauty of reality. The purpose of my life is to experience all of it for as long as possible before my ability to becomes limited with old age or the infinite amount of alternative possibilities that could limit my mobility. A full life comes with as much suffering as it does with joy…for without the acknowledgement of suffering we would never recognize or comprehend the joy and happiness an intentional life has to offer. Through the deepest heartbreaks emerges a profound love that can only be experienced or appreciated if it has something to be compared with. Make an intention to enjoy your life. Grab a pen and get specific. What are you going to do today take control of your reality and enjoy your life? Write it down. An intention is just an idea or a thought until you write it into existence.
I get made fun of a lot by my close friends and Facebook friends for, "thinking too much." I think critically because I enjoy examining my mind and sharing my perspective with others to keep it healthy. Your mind is the most powerful part of your human experience and underestimating it's influence on your reality is a mistake. A definitive way to live life by accident. It's easy to find meaning in moments of perfection, but what about moments of pain? Resilience isn't a virtue or a statement of character if there's no meaning behind it. Everything happens for a reason…but if that's the extent of my willingness to assess, then I am truly lost; for pain has no meaning beyond relief.
Life is the longest activity we will ever participate in…so what's the hurry? We have a massive fault in our logic with an inability to separate emotions and intellect that stems from our communication. Success is word with infinite definitions that has been constricted by perceptual communication. When we refer to the idea of success when speaking with another, we relate it to a physical state of having…or an accumulation of material wealth…logically. Consider how we think of it when we are alone…reflecting on the idea of success as an accumulation of wealth and equating it with happiness. Imagine the insanity of racing towards a place we have never been, never seen, and never experienced with the absolute certainty that upon arrival we will finally find peace. If success and happiness is a destination, then we will be sorely disappointed when we arrive there and discover that we ran so fast that we missed all of the happiness along the way. Success is an internal emotion that emanates confidence until we trade it away for the pursuit of material validation.
Authenticity is not who you are, but what you do. The idea of who you are is just a thought until it manifests through the action of a true belief. The truth will set you free…literally. A value system that you adhere to defines your character. The continuity and integrity of your character is contingent upon the consistency of your value system. Values are not situational, they are constant. If one values honesty but decides to lie, then they do not truly value honesty until they are willing to admit their fault to preserve the integrity of that value. That person admires the idea of honesty, but they do not believe in it. Are you consistent enough with your values to preserve the integrity of your character? If you have no consistent value system that defines your character, then others will define it for you. Without character, there is no accountability and no sense of authentic self. We are lost. If we have no values consistent enough to call ourselves authentic, then we allow others to define our character and have no factual evidence to dispute it.
Is it honest? Is it possible? Is it true? These are the questions I like to ask myself before responding. Assuming we are acting in character, always consider the source. Try to understand their perspective and consider their statement a possibility for growth. Criticism comes from those who love you. Insults come from those who judge you. Try to remember that if someone has the time to judge your character, then they probably cannot honestly assess their own. When we can detach the emotional reaction to conflict and look at the facts, most of the time what we perceive as a personal attack on us is nothing more than a baseless claim with no factual evidence to support it…irrelevant. There's no need to defend a character with integrity, so don't take it personal.
If we start to think about ourselves and the world objectively and remove ourselves as the center of our own universe, we can easily realize that there are 7 billion others inhabiting the same space with us. If we are the center of our universe, experiencing life in first person…then it is safe to assume everyone else is as well. Keep in mind that those who are spiritually asleep usually can't perceive reality beyond what they can take from it. I've learned a lot about the disease of existence. If you've survived it and are living to tell the tale, then you have an amazing gift. You have an ability to live life on purpose and a moral responsibility to do so.

But to residents of this city, that sentiment isn't merely historical — it's the slogan of a decades-old struggle that's still ongoing. Many in the District are fighting for D.C. statehood.[Read More…]

Skin Care and health is a resource for learning about different skin diseases and conditions. We are dedicated to helping our readers identify and get a better understanding of their specific skin condition. The focus of this site is on symptoms, diagnosis treatment, recovery and skin problem prevention. Our goal is to get the reader to the information they need as quickly as possible.
Our intent is not to replace your Doctor, but to provide information that can be used by you to have an informed discussion on a particular skin problem. It is hard to ask your Dermatologist, General Practitioner or other skin health professional questions, when you weren't able to prepare in advance.
We'll also devote editorial resources to cosmetic dermatology. An individuals appearance and the way they feel about themselves is an important part of any dermatological approach. Information will also be provided on skin rejuvenation and treatment approaches such as Botox.
Content will also be dedicated to outside influences on the skin and how to maintain skin health in different environments. This site will look at the role of the sun, tattoos, piercing and even tanning salons on dermatological health. Skincare products are not approved by the FDA so it is important to do your research and consult with a Dermatologist whenever possible.
We hope to help readers protect themselves from future skin problems by looking at the role of genetics, and how to select the right sunscreen.
Lastly, we'll help readers examine their skin and understand what is going on. This includes common skin conditions such as infections to more chronic problems such as a melanoma. This can be difficult as most symptoms are non-specific, meaning that they can indicate several skin problems. Often skin treatment involves trying different prescription and over the counter approaches to see which approach helps to correct the problem. This is not unusual when treating problems such as acne.
The next decade promises to yield significant improvements in our understanding of skin care. Both conventional approaches and where appropriate, homeopathic or natural skin remedies will be included in our review of each skin disease and condition. The advantage of conventional medicine is that it is well researched and specific to the diagnosis. Homeopathic or home skin remedies work by strengthening the body's natural healing process.
Often they can be used together, with prescription medications curing the condition, and homeopathic approaches speeding recovery, reducing the severity of symptoms and as a way of preventing future problems.
If there is any information that you couldn't find on the skin care site, please send us a request by clicking the contact link below.

Q: Why does ruby rails need puma or unicorn? In php, you only need apache or nginx. Why does ruby rails also need something like puma or unicorn when nginx is already installed?

A: Since you have worked with php backend, I assume you are familiar with modphp or fcgi modules. They are actual engines that compile and run php code.
Ruby on rails cannot run on its own just like php. So there is need of something like puma, or phusion passenger to run it. They are called application server.
You can use application server to serve website directly, but it is recommended approach. There are more suitable alternatives like nginx which have evolved just for this purpose.

A: This is not entirely correct, to run PHP with apache you will need either the apache mod_php or run it as a FastCGI module. For Nginx the latter seems to be the norm.
For Ruby there's Phusion Passenger that fills this role, and supports both apache and nginx. On apache it runs as a plugin module just the way mod_php does. For Nginx I'm not sure.
You may want to run your ruby applications using a dedicated application server, however. This is where Unicorn, Puma etc comes in. There's nothing preventing you from doing a similar setup for php, but it's less common.
Another thing which makes php easier to deploy in many cases is that most distros and server installs come with apache and nginx already set up to handle php, while you need to set this up on your own for ruby.
Once set up Passenger makes deploying ruby apps almost (but not quite) as simple as deploying php apps.

A: I found a great article on this here
https://www.rubyguides.com/2019/08/puma-app-server/
I also made this diagram with a very dumbed down list of the responsibilities of Web Servers, Application Servers, and Web Frameworks

Q: Download a file and pipe to multiple commands I see a lot of installation instructions which ask you to download a file and run it straight away like this: wget https://some-site.com/some-file.sh | bash. However I would like to pipe the file through to less first so I can see the file before piping the file to bash. How can I do this in a one-liner?

A: Using vipe from moreutils.  Demo with seq 20 instead of wget.
Run this:
seq 20 | EDITOR=less vipe | wc -l

...and less opens the pipe for viewing.  Press q to quit less, and the line count from wc -l appears:
20

Now do the same:
seq 20 | EDITOR=less vipe | wc -l

...but this time, hit Ctrl-C, then q to quit less.  Because of the Ctrl-C, wc never runs.
Therefore this should work:
wget -qO- https://some-site.com/some-file.sh | EDITOR=less vipe | bash

And if the code doesn't please, hit Ctrl-C.
If you want to keep the file around despite maybe not wanting to run it, try this:
wget -qO- https://some-site.com/some-file.sh | tee /tmp/some-file.sh |
EDITOR=less vipe | bash

...and it'll work much the same, except that /tmp/some-file.sh will have the pipe contents as well.

A: *

*Download the file.

*Look at it.

*Run it.

$ curl -O https://some/url/file.sh
$ less file.sh
$ bash file.sh

That would be easiest and most robust.

A: Within less, you can press s to save the input to a file.
Or g to get to the top and then |$bash to pipe to bash.

Q: Answer evaluation for ER (entity relationship) diagrams I am working on a project to create an automated evaluation system for Entity Relationship diagrams. Now I came up with an abstract matching algorithm.
--First of all for all the labels in the diagram, they can be selected only from a set of given keywords so that's not a problem.
--Second of all, for each element(entity/relationship) whose label matches the labels in the answer key a local metric can be created. There can be some a few criteria in this metric like:

*

*Correctness of adjacent elements.

*Correctness of entity type.

*Correctness of attributes.

*Correctness of edge types.  etc.

--Each criteria can be assigned some weight and evaluation can be done.
Does it seem plausible to do it in this way?
Also I have been advised to view the problem in terms of graph isomorphism instead. Since in my case labels have to matched so the problem is bit simpler than that. Also I need a partial matcher and build a scoring system on top of the matcher.
I know I have talked way too abstractly, but I need some pointers as in where to start with this alternative view.
Thank you!!

A: For sure your solution is around the graph isomorphism. Indeed you want to see whether two graphs (ERDs in fact) are isomorphic or not. First of all please keep in mind that you are facing a really hard problem:
"it is one of a very small number of problems belonging to NP neither known to be solvable in polynomial time nor NP-complete: it is one of only 12 such problems listed by Garey & Johnson (1979), and one of only two of that list whose complexity remains unresolved."(1)
As you are working on a project so run time is of big concern for you so I recommend you to implement an approximate algorithm and specially read this paper:
Approximate Graph Isomorphism by V. Arvind et al.

Liverpool transfer news and rumors
Tiago Ilori Agrees Reading Transfer
Liverpool are set to turn a small profit on the 23-year-old Portuguese centre half.
By Noel Chomyn@LFCOffside Jan 9, 2017, 3:30pm GMT

Tiago Ilori arrived a highly regarded 20-year-old, meant to be Liverpool's long-term answer at centre half, a promising young star who could be eased into the team and, it was hoped, who would end up anchoring the defence for a decade when he did.
Three years later, and he's on his way to Reading, the latest in a long list of promising young defenders—Sebastian Coates, Danny Wilson, Mikel San José—who didn't quite end up the hoped-for defensive anchor they were signed to turn into.
In this case, though, the club will manage to turn a small profit. This despite reports when he signed that his transfer from Sporting Lisbon was for £7M. According to The Liverpool Echo, the transfer was actually worth up to £7M, but Liverpool have only had to pay £3.5M.
That means that the guaranteed £3.75M fee agreed between the Reds and Reading will see them turn a small profit. There is also a 25% sell-on fee that has been inserted into the deal, ensuing that if Ilori does come good for the Championship club, Liverpool stand to benefit.
For his part, Ilori has reportedly agreed to the transfer and personal terms are not expected to be a stumbling block, meaning he is likely to complete his move in short order. Reading currently stand third in the Championship and are heavy favourites to make the playoffs.
Ilori will depart Liverpool having made three senior appearances for the club. He also spent time on loan at Granada, Bordeaux, and Aston Villa during his time on the books at Anfield.


概要 The Ranong mangrove ecosystem on the Andaman Sea coastline of southern Thai-land mainly consists of primary forest and some secondary vegetation. Until re-cently, mangrove forests have been mainly recognized by local people for their di-rect use values. This misconception coupled with the consideration of mangrove resources as being "open access" easily leads to their exploitation. The national and local government unit regulations and enforcement are crucial to ensure the protection of mangroves. In addition, the success of the mangrove forest rehabilita-tion and conservation depends on the participation of local people. Thus, the local people need to be better informed about the mangrove resources and ecosystem and ecological and economic benefits.

Biografia
Gian Carlo Ghirardi si è laureato in Fisica presso la Statale di Milano nel 1959.

È stato professore emerito presso l'Università degli Studi di Trieste
.

Nel 1985, insieme ai fisici italiani Alberto Rimini e Tullio Weber, propose la teoria Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber.

Riconoscimenti
È stato nominato membro titolare dell'Accademia Internazionale di Filosofia delle Scienze.

Ha firmato oltre 230 pubblicazioni scientifiche su riviste internazionali ed ha insegnato negli Stati Uniti d'America ed in Sud America. È uno dei soci fondatori ed è stato presidente della Società Italiana di Fondamenti di Fisica. Fu presidente Del Consorzio per la Fisica di Trieste e membro dell'Academic Board del Centro internazionale di fisica teorica Abdus Salam, di Trieste.

Nel 1981, ben 18 mesi prima della pubblicazione dei lavori di Wootters e Zurek e Dieks sul "No-cloning theorem" (Teorema di no-cloning quantistico), uno dei pilastri della Computazione Quantistica, Ghirardi, in un suo report quale referee per Foundations of Physics di un lavoro di N. Herbert, dimostrò indipendentemente il teorema in questione, comunque dopo l'originale derivazione di Park nel 1970.  La derivazione di Ghirardi, non resa nota per lungo tempo, è testimoniata da una lettera ufficiale di A. van der Merwe che riporta alcune frasi dal rapporto di Ghirardi, ed è diventata di dominio pubblico anche grazie a lavori di F. De Martini e A. Peres.

Nel 2007, l'Institue of Physics, attraverso la sua rivista Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical (una rivista di cui Ghirardi è stato per anni l'editor del settore Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Information Theory), ha voluto onorarlo pubblicando un fascicolo di più di 1000 pagine che ha raccolto i contributi degli scienziati che avevano partecipato, nel 2005, alle celebrazioni in suo onore. Tra gli autori che hanno contribuito a onorare Ghirardi coi loro scritti vanno menzionati: A. Leggett, R. Penrose, S. Weinberg, S. Adler, B. D'Espagnat, S. Goldstein, J. Frohlich, G. Jona Lasinio, L. Hardy, J.B. Hartle, T.W.E. Maudlin, D.Z. Albert e T. Regge.

Introduction of a new community media award – "Moses Moyo Award"
The Association of Independent Publishers (AIP), would like to express its dissatisfaction with the decision taken by the South African Editors Forum (SANEF) to name the community media award as the "Moses Moyo Award" without any consultations.
AIP feels this decision was unfairly reached, and our members were supposed to be given an opportunity to nominate people who they think should have been a proper representation of the community media in naming this award.
We therefore, distance ourselves from this awards and none of AIP members will participate. SANEF know of AIP's existence and its representation, they cannot continue to make decisions on behalf of our members without consulting.

Get your pins summer ready!
Ever since I started shaving, I've always favoured razors over waxing (too painful) or depilatory creams (too messy). So, I was excited to hear about the launch of the new Dorco EVE 6 razor, a six-blade razor with a unique 3 double-blade format. Who even knew that was a thing?! It also has a moisturising band with Aloe, Vitamin E and lavender to calm and protect even the most sensitive skin. And with summer weather (finally) in full swing, now's the time to ensure that your legs are looking as lovely as possible in fabulous summer dresses and stylish shorts.
While Razors By Dorco is a relatively new brand to the UK, the brand has more than 60 years of shaving technology behind them, ensuring that they really know their stuff when it comes to making great razors. I loved how easily the razor glided over my legs - especially the tricky bits like knee caps and ankles, which I always seem to nick. I'm pleased to report that after using the EVE 6, I was left cut free and had some seriously smooth legs. I for one, am definitely converted and can't wait to get my legs out this weekend!
The Dorco EVE 6 razor (£5.09) is available to purchase from www.razorsbydorco.co.uk.


Reflexology is a holistic therapy based on the ancient Chinese theory that energy is flowing all around our bodies. If the energy can flow freely then we are balanced and healthy. If the energy is obstructed, illness may result.
Reflexology works along holistic principles aiming to treat your mind, body and spirit rather than a diagnosis or set of symptoms. For instance, if you are suffering from stress, your body may be affected as well as your mind. Similarly, a physical illness can be emotionally draining. Reflexology aims to rebalance the whole of your being, often bringing about a sense of deep relaxation and assisting the body's own healing mechanism.
It is believed that the feet mirror the body. All organs, systems and glands of the body can be mapped onto areas of the feet called reflex points. Using thumbs and fingers we apply pressure and stimulate these reflex points in order to bring about a response in the corresponding part of the body.

Going out of Ibiza harbour tonight I was pulled over by a Guardia Civil patrol boat for apparently doing 30 knots in a 3 knot zone and for not having my lights on. They were quite nice about it though and once they found out I didn't speak Spanish they let me go.
The weather's continued to be very unsettled here in the Balearics with 91km/hr winds recorded and a rainstorm that dropped 23 litres of rain per square metre within 10 minutes.
Yesterday morning, shortly after I noticed a very ominous looking dark cloud over the island, the anchorage was suddenly hit by storm force winds. There were two boats that had anchored very close to us and they began to drag, narrowly missing us. Boats were dragging all around us, people were running around on decks panicking and shouting, and the anchorage was chaos. Although we were only in 7 metres of water we had 50 metres of anchor chain out, which I increased to 60 metres, and thankfully we were one of the very few boats that held.
One of the boats just behind us began to drag, the crew didn't notice quickly enough, and within a minute or so it was on the rocks. The wind and waves were pushing it so hard that they just couldn't motor away, and gradually she was lifted higher and higher out of the water. They were only saved because it was a steel boat and that after 30 minutes or so, the wind began to drop. Eventually, the lifeboat came to their rescue (see picture), towed them off, and the boat, remarkably, seemed to have survived in pretty good shape.
We sailed around the south coast and anchored off Salinas, one of Ibiza's trendiest beaches, this afternoon then Carita and I took the dinghy ashore to a beach bar for lunch and beers. By this evening the place had emptied, all the tourists had gone off, and we were left anchored here in solitude as the sun went down and the stars came out.
We just sailed back from Salinas to Ibiza town, however, the autopilot decided to act up for the first time in years, meaning that we had to steer! I just found this webcam of where we�re anchored, though we�re usually just out of shot to the left.
Congratulations to Andrew and Catherine on their new addition to the family, Peter, who was born yesterday!

Double Vision: Metheny To Release Two Albums May 6
By Brian Zimmerman I Mar. 28, 2016
The Pat Metheny Unity Group will release The Unity Sessions, one of two new albums from the guitarist on Nonesuch Records, on May 6
(Photo: Jimmy Katz ©2013 Pat Metheny Tours)
Coming off a banner year that included a stint as artist-in-residence for the Detroit Jazz Festival, guitarist Pat Metheny will release two new albums that place him in the dual roles of leader and sideman. Nonesuch Records will release The Unity Sessions and Cuong Vu Meets Pat Metheny on May 6.
Both albums feature collaborators and colleagues with whom the 61-year-old Grammy-winning guitarist has worked for years. The Unity Sessions is taken from a filmed performance with the Pat Metheny Unity Group (drummer Anonio Sanchez, saxophonist Chris Potter, bassist Ben Williams, multi-instrumentalist Giulio Carmassi) that was recently released on DVD. The set comprises 13 songs by Metheny, including one he co-wrote with Ornette Coleman, and a well-known standard by Ray Noble.
The group's first record, Kin (←→) (Nonesuch), was voted Jazz Album of the Year in the 2014 DownBeat Readers Pol.
On Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny, the guitarist joins a trio led by longtime Pat Metheny Group trumpeter Cuong Vu. (Other members of the trio include Stomu Takeishi on bass and Ted Poor on drums.) The album consists of five tunes written by Vu plus one by Metheny and one by Andrew D'Angelo.
Pre-orders of The Unity Sessions and Cuong Vu Trio Meets Pat Metheny are available now at iTunes and nonesuch.com, each with an instant download of a track from its album ("This Belongs to You" and "Let's Get Back," respectively).


Conflict managers around the world cling to the hope that power-sharing decreases the risk of civil war in post-conflict societies. Distinguishing between territorial and governmental conflicts, we analyse the origin and effectiveness of power-sharing institutions (PSI) and power-sharing arrangements (PSA). Our examination reveals that power-sharing is largely a consequence of the institutional legacy and of the war outcome. While PSI such as proportional representation or federalism cannot prevent a war from recurring, PSA in the form of grand coalitions reduces this risk marginally. However, granting autonomy to a rebellious region increases the danger that the relationship with the government turns violent again. Our results suggest that constitution makers should advocate power-sharing with caution.

Aug 9, 2018- The fire is 18,703 acres with 100% containment and crews are still engaged on the fire. The Forest Service and BLM campgrounds have been reopened with the exception of Christie Campground. County Rd A1 has been reopened to the public. Please use caution when traveling the road as fire crews are still in the area and fire weakened trees are throughout the fire. The forest closure is still in effect for the area around the fire. A BAER (Burned Area Emergency Response) team is on the fire doing assessments. The team of hydrologists, soil scientists, engineers, biologists, botanists, and archeologists will install erosion controls, remove safety hazards, and survey for noxious weeds. The fire resulted in low to moderate soil burn severity and emergency treatments are expected to be minimal.
