As of now, Louisville sits on the 3- or 4-seed line. Imagine where they would be if they hadn't lost that huge lead on Baylor (no. 5 in ESPN RPI) or completed that comeback vs Virginia (no. 7). Anyway, they have a signature win in Kentucky and will have plenty of chances for more down the road in the potential double-digit bid ACC.
Early on, it appeared as if the Bears were building one of the best non-conference resumes in recent memories. Michigan State's fall from grace pretty much ended the chances of that, but Baylor still heads into league play in as good of a position as anybody, Tourney-wise. If they can avoid upsets in the typically booby-trapped Big 12, they will be in the one-seed conversation throughout the winter.
In ESPN's RPI, the Big East places 3 in the top 4 (Villanova, Creighton, Xavier.) It would be easy to say Villanova, who holds the no. 1 rating, but I'll go with Creighton and their convincing wins over Wisconsin, (who's better than their no. 45 RPI) Seton Hall, Ole Miss and NC State. No true eye-popper (a win over Villanova tomorrow would shore that up real quick) but they've been as good as anybody in the country so far.
Despite the Big Ten being widely considered as a top-two conference, it failed to make any sort of statement in non-conference play. Only two teams recorded victories vs ESPN RPI Top 25 opponents (Northwestern and Indiana). This decision came down to whether I'm taking a team that played top-level competition and but failed to record a win against it or a team that didn't really play anyone but took care of business. I ended up deciding on the former in Purdue, who couldn't get it done against Louisville and Villanova but beat everybody else. There's still a ton of work left to do for the Boilermakers and pretty much everybody in the Big Ten, who as of now have no one checking in higher than a 4 seed in my current bracket projections.
We could go ahead and judge a resume comparison of UCLA and Oregon by the outcome of Wednesday night's game, but that's not really how bracketology works. If we're putting the margin of victory into play, November really hurt Oregon. Even if we don't, the extra loss to an average team like Georgetown is something that UCLA doesn't have, making this a fairly easy choice.
Florida stands higher on the RPI rankings, but that's only because of their top-ranked schedule. (You can never really trust ratings systems such as that so early.) Kentucky's victory over North Carolina gives them the best resume in the depleted SEC.
I hate to fit all the other college conferences into one category like this, but I couldn't just ignore Gonzaga, who looks like a serious championship contender. Once again, Gonzaga loaded their non-conference schedule with Power 6 opponents, and took care of business against every single one of them, the highlights being victories over Florida, Arizona and Iowa State.

Having already looked at the basics of choosing a camera body in a previous article, lens selection is equally, if not more important.
There are two main factors to consider when choosing a lens and they are the focal length and the speed. Both of which are equally significant, depending on what you actually need to photograph.
When people refer to lenses, they normally describe them by their focal length and their speed, such as a 50mm, f1.4 or a 300mm, f5.6. The 'f' number relates to the size of the maximum aperture.
The first thing most people consider if they are choosing a lens (especially for surveillance) is the focal length to bring the subject closer. The focal length is the distance from the objective lens to the sensor such as 100mm.
Many lenses are 'Zoom' lenses, which have a variable focal length such as 24mm-55mm, 70mm-300mm or 100mm-400mm. For the surveillance photographer, lenses of 300mm are normally adequate. The following size lenses are used for the various types of photography.
The beauty about digital photography is that if you can take a good picture with a 'fast' 200mm lens, and then zoom in close once it is up on a computer screen and crop it without losing too much quality.
What is Lens Speed (Maximum Aperture)?
f1.4 being the widest aperture, letting in a lot of light and f5.6 four times smaller.
A wide aperture such as f1.4 or f2.8 will allow in plenty of light and this is needed in a low light situation, which is common in surveillance photography, especially in low light. In addition, a larger aperture will allow you to use faster shutter speeds, which is important when using telephoto lenses to prevent camera shake and allows you to freeze movement. Therefore the larger the aperture, the faster the shutter speed, hence the term 'fast' lens.
This is where cost comes into it. An average 'kit' telephoto lens that you get with most cameras may be a 70-250mm but restricted to f4.5. The speed of this lens is therefore f4.5 and not really that fast and will cost in the region of £200. A fast lens, however, such as a 70-200mm, f2.8 allows in more light but will cost £900. It's what the pros use.
The Paparazzi are often seen with long lenses of 300mm and above but you will note that they are also very wide in diameter. This is because they are very fast f1.2 or f2.8. This enables the photographer to use faster shutter speeds in order to freeze action and reduce camera shake.
With zoom lenses, focal length is variable, such as 28-135mm, therefore it follows that the speed of the lens will also be variable. This is often displayed as a ratio, such as 1:3.5-4.5 (f3.5 to f4.5) so that when it's set to its widest of 28mm, the widest aperture will be f3.5 and when zoomed in to 135mm the widest aperture will be f4.5. One of my best zoom lenses is a 28-70mm which has a fast aperture of f2.8 but there's not much change out of £1500.
In the previous article on the subject, we described the difference between full-frame (35mm) and APS-C (cropped) sensor cameras. When lenses are fitted to these APS-C cameras the focal length of the lens will appear to be extended by approximately 1.5 times. Therefore a 300mm lens becomes a more powerful 450mm.
As mentioned, fast shutter speeds are required because we are using long lenses which exaggerate camera shake and we have to overcome image blur. This is so important, therefore, try to use a support or tripod whenever possible. If the camera has to be handheld, use the following table as a guide to selecting a shutter speed that will help prevent blur.
Some lenses have 'Image Stabilisation', that lets you shoot with lower shutter speeds and still retain sharp images. They are more expensive but well worth the extra money, keep it in mind, stabilisation only stabilises the lens, it does not freeze action.

Backstabbing for Beginners
Backstabbing for Beginners is ostensibly a thriller about the corruption and intrigue surrounding the Saddam Hussein-era "Oil for Food" The 5th Wave program sponsored by the United Nations. But the most thrilling aspect of director Per Fly's film is watching the interactions between co-stars Theo James and Ben Kingsley. Even as James sucks all the energy out of the room with his inert performance, Kingsley creates oxygen with his dynamic, wildly entertaining turn. Hearing the veteran performer find endlessly different ways to spew F-bombs makes you wonder why he's never been in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Based on the memoir by Michael Soussan, the real-life U.N. official who exposed the scam, the 2003-set drama centers around his fictional counterpart Michael Sullivan (James), a 24-year-old investment banker who throws his financial career away in favor Viper Club of following in his late father's steps as a diplomat. Michael procures a job at the U.N., where he goes to work for the colorful Cypriot diplomat Pasha (Kingsley), whose less than total dedication to honesty becomes evident when he tells his young protégé, "The first rule of diplomacy, kid, is that truth is not a matter of fact. It's a matter of consensus."
Pasha is in charge of the program designed to provide humanitarian aid to the Iraqi people from the proceeds of Iraq's oil sales. It doesn't take Robin Hood long for the idealistic Michael — who tells everyone who'll listen, "I want to make a difference" — to realize that the program is riddled with graft and corruption. Further adding to the intrigue is the fact that his predecessor in the job died under mysterious circumstances and an attempt to recruit Michael by a CIA agent (Aidan Devine) looking for inside information.

FRIDAY, Dec. 21, 2018 (HealthDay News) — The risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) is increased among antidepressant users, particularly before treatment initiation, according to a study recently published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
Morten Fenger-Grøn, from Aarhus University in Denmark, and colleagues compared the AF risk of 785,254 individuals from Denmark initiating antidepressant treatment from 2000 to 2018 to that seen in a 1:5-matched sample from the general population.
The researchers found that during the first month, antidepressant treatment correlated with a threefold higher AF risk (adjusted hazard ratio, 3.18). During the following year, the association gradually attenuated (adjusted hazard ratios, 1.37 and 1.11 at two to six months and six to 12 months after antidepressant therapy initiation, respectively). In the month before starting antidepressant treatment, the associated AF risk was even higher (adjusted hazard ratios, 7.65 and 4.29 from 30 to 15 days before and in the last 15 days before starting treatment, respectively). From 30 days before to 30 days after antidepressant treatment, 0.4 percent of patients were diagnosed with AF.
"In conclusion, patients treated with antidepressants have a substantially elevated AF risk, both in the short term and over more than six months, and our findings suggest a potentially larger impact of the underlying condition than of the treatment," the authors write.

Confidence (and The Speech) by Susan Lambert Hatem
Confidence (and The Speech) is a not-exactly-true perspective of a very true story. Yeah, it's that President Carter play where Carter is played by a woman and it seems like it's about a moment in history, but it's really about everything that is happening now.
On July 4, 1979, President Carter canceled an important energy policy speech he was scheduled to give the next day and...
On July 4, 1979, President Carter canceled an important energy policy speech he was scheduled to give the next day and disappeared to Camp David. Ten days later, he emerged from his impromptu domestic summit and gave a new speech, the Crisis of Confidence speech, which became known as the "malaise" speech. The speech garnered overwhelmingly positive responses at first and many now view the speech as unprecedented and insightful. Others think it may have ultimately cost him the White House.
Forty years later, college professor Cynthia Cooper is approached by a stranger, a young man, and asked to recall her time with the Carter Administration during the days before the now-infamous Crisis of Confidence speech. If she is going to tell her story of that time - the story told from her perspective - she is going to play the President. And the young man who wants to know her story? Well, he is going to play her. This unique cross-gender play explores the confidence of a president, a nation in chaos and women in politics.
Confidence (and The Speech)
Rachel Bublitz:
" For me a good history play does two things, it focuses on action instead of only teaching the audience, and the event(s) depicted say something about the present time. Susan Lambert Hatem does both in "Confidence (and the Speech)" which never becomes merely a history lesson. It also offers a bit of hope in a time when hope is hard to come by. I think this play would do particularly well in college productions. "

Confidence, by Susan Lambert Hatem, is, by turns, boisterous, feverish, audacious, and utterly playful. It is nifty and important at the same time, which is to say it's the absolute best kind of theater.
Theatre Pizzazz
With cross-dressing accepted as a theatrical device, the imagination is able to leap beyond to attempt to conquer the greater social issues woven nicely into the fabric of the play by Playwright Susan Lambert Hatem. While occasionally light in tone, it is largely delicate and serious.
Clyde Finch Report
It's practically shocking in the charm it spreads. Hatem's conceit is irresistible as she composes an account of how history could have been developed... As with Hamilton on Broadway — and Robert Schenkkan's The Great Society — Hatem's work possesses the potential to prompt a renewed interest in American history.
The Unforgettable Line
Provides an immensely satisfying opportunity to consider the pressing issues of climate change, equal rights, and basic decency in politics through the lens of deeply interested observer. Though this remains a story dominated by men, it is the voices of the women that are amplified in this retelling.
Theater Scene
The script is smart, imaginative, humorous at the right times and keeps its audience interested.

Not that it matters, the presentation rocks – in particular because the technology used is not a projector but rather a large LED display, or a scoreboard/video board in layman's terms. The colors are so vibrant, the video so crisp, the screen so wide, that it's a visual feast. Every team, every major league city deserves this kind of tribute. I fortuitously got this clip as it has some relevant history for A's fans.
No matter where I travel, I maintain a place in my heart for Kansas City. Maybe it's the barbecue. Or the shared history with the A's. Or the general friendliness I always encounter. Whatever it is, the city's Kauffman Stadium has always been lauded for being a postmodern relic that has managed to stand the test of time. No need to couch the praise anymore, as Kauffman is as good as any of the new ballparks built in the last twenty years.
Every single thing a modern ballpark has is now in place. A concourse that allows fans to walk completely around the stadium? Check. Wider concourses with weather protection? Check. New press box? Check. Multiple clubs and restaurants? Check. Improved suites? Check. A museum? Check. Incredible video board? Check. It was always a comfortable place to watch a game. Now it's comfortable and up-to-date. Sadly, a refreshed stadium is not the same thing as a new ballpark in terms of fan perception, and the revamp can't fully cover for a crappy team, as 2009's attendance didn't surpass 1.8 million and 2010 looks to be a drop from that.
As part of the post-war sprawl trend, the Truman Sports Complex was built in the middle of nowhere. 40 years later and it's still in the middle of nowhere. You want in, you gotta drive. Parking is $10 and there's plenty of it. Prior to the remodeling of the ballpark, local business interests spurred an effort to bring the team downtown. That effort went nowhere as the Royals' interest was tepid at best.
I figured that a Yankees game might be somewhat impacted. Silly me. I was able to score a $23 seat in the front row of the upper deck. The deal proved too good to be true, as the ticket seller neglected to inform me about this:
Then again, it started raining shortly after I took my seat, so I headed back to the concourse to get some cover from the rain coming through the area. That's when the improvements at the stadium really started to shine. Simple things, like better traction on the steps and a weatherproof coating on the concrete, combined with a large, high roof covering the concourse made things bearable. It used to be that the only thing that helped previously was the back of the upper deck cantilevering over the concourse, which really wasn't much protection at all.
After the 2 hour, 15 minute rain delay, it was easy to find a good seat as two-thirds of the crowd cleared out. I didn't even stick around for the whole thing as I needed to take an early train the next day. I wiped off a seat about 22 rows up on the third base side, and that's when the place felt familiar. The seating bowl's signature contours are still there, and the layout hasn't fundamentally changed other than the outfield.
I left in the middle of the 7th, rain cleared out but constant thunder and lightning in the distance. My biggest regret was not being patient enough to capture lightning on camera as it lit up the ballpark. During the rain delay, I stopped at a picnic table to tap out the Day 4 post. Several other people were there, waiting out the rain. Two young girls from Wichita asked me what I was doing, and showed them the iPad's MLB app. They asked if I they could see some highlights from the Wichita minor league club, I replied that it's not ready yet. As the concourse filled up, the view to the field was blocked and I could no longer see if the grounds crew was working with the tarp or not. I scooted over to make room for an elderly gentleman. I asked him about the tarp and he ignored me, or so I thought at the time.
Turns out that the man and his wife were both deaf. As he saw me showing the MLB app to the kids, he started scrawling on a scrap of paper, which he laid in front me. It read, "Cardinals 6, Cubs 3. Box Score." I quickly tapped the STL-CHC score, and the newspaper like box score opened in front of us. I quickly gestured to him how he could navigate the app, and he started smiling. Apparently he was really looking for Adam Wainwright's line for the game. After he was done, he explained to me that he had season ticket to the Cards and was in KC visiting family. We "talked" some more and exchanged pleasantries. Okay I lied, I have one other regret, that I wish I had let that one girl I was dating in college teach me ASL.
Seems like all over the Midwest ballparks are doing the gourmet dog thing. It's a good way to charge an extra two bucks for a dog, a suppose. I figured I should try it once, and it was okay, not worth $6 but okay nonetheless. It was washed down with a Boulevard Pale Ale, KC's most famous craft brewer. Strangely, the Pale Ale that cost $7 on the main concourse cost $7.50 on the upper concourse.
The tour enters the ballpark at the main level. Behind home plate on the main level there is the Diamond Club, which despite its name is not the most exclusive club in the park. That honor would go to the BATS Club for the 100 or so seats directly behind the plate. Branding has gone way up since the last time I was here, over 10 years ago.
Now there's proper room for escalators and those familiar circular ramps. Even with 20,000 people fleeing for the main concourse during the rain delay, it never felt cramped. The team administration building is physically separate from the rest of the ballpark, linked by a series of footbridges at each level. In doing this they allowed more natural light and air into the space. Very smart move.
The outfield area, which was once off limits, is now vast and spacious. There are special bars, a team store, frozen custard stand, fried chicken stand, play areas, and even a couple of mini golf holes. The piece de resistance is the Hall of Fame, which is tucked into the LF corner. It's really lovely, covers over 50 years of baseball history without sounding bitter, and when coupled with a trip to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum near downtown, makes for a really fun and educational day trip that also happens to include a major league game. If you go to KC, do all three. You'll get the video, you'll get a sense of justice, you'll feel good about humanity.
Billy Butler was in the cage behind the dugout and taking extra BP. It must've worked because he hit the winning home run that night.
As impressed as I was by the Cowboys Stadium video boards, the single huge board at Kauffman rates nearly as high. The vertical orientation allows for an uncompromising combination of video and text information. It proved extremely useful during the rain delay as well, because it has plenty of space to support two simultaneous video feeds: the Red Sox-Rangers game and Chiefs-Falcons exhibition.
The bad seat I had was due in part to the way the new press box cut into the original upper deck. I've incorporated such a feature into some of my sketches. Now I know what to watch for.
Maybe BBQ is old hat in KC, maybe not. Whatever the case, it wouldn't hurt to have one of the well known pit masters have a stand of their own in the ballpark, whether it's Arthur Bryant's or Gates. I had an Arthur Bryant's "sandwich" before the game, and it heaven wrapped in butcher paper.
The team offers four different grades or levels of tours, based mostly on access. The cheapest tour offers basic info and access. The tour I took at $20 provided a free Kauffman Stadium hat, team magazine, and a longer running time. The most expensive tour allows fans on the field to watch batting practice.
Kauffman Stadium rocks in many ways, even if the team doesn't. If you're planning a ballpark trip or even have already been there prior to the remodel, it's worth going. It's not garish or overstated, it's family friendly, and it's a great educational opportunity when coupled with the Negro Leagues Museum or even the American Jazz Museum, which is in the same building. This is my first true endorsement on the trip, and it's a full one.

KC and Seattle are the two stadiums at the top of my list to see
Sounds like a great park. Kauffman and Safeco are at the top of my list to visit.

Interesting that the Royals had no interest in coming downtown. It's a reminder that in many markets your average baseball stadium-goers are families in the suburbs. It's going to be interesting to see if MLB returns to more of a retail model as large corporations are forced to scale back. That alone may say a lot about the A's future.
Tony D.
Rob! It's you! I think we would both agree that the KC Metro is nowhere near Silicon Valley (or the Bay Area in general) when it comes to corporate support. Also, if the Royals had shared, say, Arrowhead Stadium with the Chiefs, they'd be playing in downtown KC right now. The true reason they didn't relocate to a downtown locale is because Kaufmann was (miraculously) designed as an excellent ballpark from the get go. Not sure what page it's on, but if you go to the Skyscrapercity blog/never built stadiums, you'll see renderings of the proposed downtown KC ballpark for the Royals (interesting stuff).
That KC HOF video is fantastic. I want that for the A's.
Bay Area A's
Not news but the newspapers need to write something about the t-rights during this lull.

The (crappy) team with this beautiful taxpayer-paid ballpark is drawing about 3K per game more than the A's, also a crappy team, but in a crappy ballpark. Then I see that the teams in the oldest parks in MLB (Cubs, Red Sox) are drawing 20K more than the A's, while the team in the third oldest park (Dodgers) is drawing 24K more per game. None of those parks was paid for by taxpayers. Then one looks at some really beautiful taxpayer parks such as Baltimore, Pittsburgh and Cleveland, where the teams are barely better in attendance than the A's, or in the case of Cleveland, actually behind, and you start thinking that on-field performance matters. But then you look at Tampa Bay, with a great team but a really crappy ballpark and you start wondering. Would that terrific Tampa Bay team fill up the Coliseum? Or, importantly, do well in San Jose?
I was born and raised in L.A. and was a Dodger fan from the time they moved to the coast—thus my screen name—but while living in the Bay Area, I adopted the A's as my American League team. To be honest, if they hook up in the World Series, I'm for the Dodgers. The point here is that L.A. is baseball country. The Dodgers thrived from Day One. And the Angels, who came later, have also thrived. The Giants always struggled. So did the A's. It's my sense that the SF Bay Area is about football. Oakland foolishly spent money it didn't have to lure the Raiders back from L.A. A little town like Santa Clara has now (foolishly, IMO) somehow decided that they can handle paying some serious money to host the 49ers. Maybe they get lucky and they get the Raiders, too.
ITSM that certain towns are baseball towns and others are football towns. It's also my belief that the Bay Area is oriented towards football, to the point where two MLB teams may not be able to draw that magic 3M attendance, despite the population. L.A. is a baseball town. In addition to the Dodgers, look how well the Angels do. But then there were the Chargers, who started in L.A., but couldn't gain any traction so they moved to San Diego. And then the Rams. The Rams were consistently good, but they left town. Not enough people cared. Broke my heart. I loved the L.A. Rams. But not the St Louis Rams. And now the Rams are talking about leaving St Louis. Maybe for L.A., which doesn't really care all that much. Why would the Rams leave? St Louis is a baseball town. The Cardinals own it.
I've said before that I believe the only hope for the A's staying in the Bay Area is San Jose. Oakland (and the surrounding areas) has proven that it is not a baseball town. I remember World Series games in Oakland not being sold out. Despite the pleas of the Oakland crowd on the site, the fact is Oakland is not a baseball town. If I were Lew Wolff, I wouldn't spend a nickel on a park in Oakland. But is San Jose a baseball town? Who knows? We should keep in mind that when the Giants moved into Phone Company park, they had a good team, led by the Balco poster child and also went to the World Series soon thereafter. What's the A's three year horizon? Not good, IMO. The Giants moved into their new park as a contender. Can anybody say the same about the A's in 2014? They're mediocre now and they'll have three more years of being mediocre. It's not as if there will be a lot of excitement about a new MLB team moving to town, no matter how bad it may be. Everybody in the target audience will know all about the A's.
I hate to say it, but if I were Lew Wolff, I wouldn't really care all that much if San Jose kept screwing around about committing to a new ball park. I'd just keep putting a team out on the field in Oakland, keep on sucking up revenue sharing $$ from MLB and wait until the economy improves. Then, I'd stick some stupid politicians in Charlotte, San Antonio, Portland, or wherever, for the cost of a new ballpark. Even in these bad times, they'll do it. They'll come up with a study that shows the wonderful economic benefits for the taxpayers if they pony up $500M for the wonders of MLB. And somehow or other, the voters will go for it. They always go for it.
Oh, and I always thought the Santa Clara County fairgrounds area was the best place for a ballpark. Then you wouldn't have to deal with shoehorning a park with a woefully small number of seats into what's essentially an inadequate space. The desire to be downtown is understood, but a privately financed park of only 32K attendance is going to require seriously high ticket prices. I hope all of you San Jose folk will be able to afford to go to games. And that's yet another rub: if only corporate dudes can afford to go to games, why would the local baseball fan care about the A's presence if he can't get in the ball park without telling his kids to go without lunch for a week?
@Old Blue
San Jose is the "richest big city" (Over 500k in population) in the United States when it comes to per capita and disposable income.
Oakland is not safe hence it drives away families and casual fans. But not in the South Bay, if the Sharks (hockey for crying out loud) can be successful then why not baseball?
San Jose has the wealth, corporate base, and population to have a team thrive for years and years. San Jose fans would adore the A's like they do with the Sharks. Plus with a safe downtown location where local bars/restaurants are already built for the Sharks it is a no-brainer.
Ticket prices would be about the same as the Giants and people out here with the great evening summertime weather would pay it…Including myself and I work in Tech along and live out here as we have $$ to spend.
But why drive to Oakland/SF consistently as it is too far and in Oakland's case in a shit hole of a location from the South Bay? It is too tiring to drive 2 hours round trip or more to watch baseball on a weekday night. The Warriors are the only exception because of lack of options in the market hence why they draw well in a shitty location and even when they suck.
Location of the stadium is everything and San Jose has that. If Oakland did and Lew Wolff could make money on it he would have it built now.
That is why Lew Wolff is willing to pay the entire 461 million dollar ballpark in San Jose because he has a safe downtown location, corporate wealth, and an affluent population.

25th May 2018 will no doubt be marked in the diaries of many a marketer.
It's the date that General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) comes into force, and all companies using EU citizens' data need to comply. The new law regulates how businesses collect, use and protect the personal data of consumers, and hefty fines will hit those who don't adhere.
Superseding the old Data Protection Act, the GDPR applies to personal data – and this time the definition is broader, referring to any data that can be used to identify an individual, including IP address.
At Bunting, we use on-site shopping and behavioural data to personalize and improve the customer experience on websites. The majority of this data is not personal, but we do sometimes process a small amount of personal data such as email addresses. We only collect data that is necessary to perform the function of the tool.
Since last year, we've been preparing for the new regulation and working with our data protection lawyers. We're fully GDPR compliant, having changed our internal processes as well as making important changes to the Bunting tool.
In our view, GDPR is a good thing, and has been worth the effort. It will allow consumers to control the usage of their personal data, meaning more rights that will force better practice in the industry.
GDPR will put pressure on marketers to make their communications truly relevant, and, importantly, to get consent when necessary. Pre-ticked boxes will be a thing of the past as consumers can actively choose which marketing communications they want to receive.
We recommend working with data protection legal professionals to do a full audit of the data flows within your organisation. The ICO has some very clear guidance to follow on what you need to do.
Importantly, you'll need to document how you comply with the GDPR, and you must establish your legal basis for using personal data. In some cases you'll always need to rely on consent (such as email communications); in others, you may be able to rely on legitimate interests.
From an ecommerce perspective, you must display a clear privacy notice detailing how and why you collect personal data. GDPR states it should be concise, written in clear and simple language, and easily accessible. Gone are the days of convoluted small print!
Bunting will be amending existing contracts with customers to include GDPR clauses, and Bunting users can find out here how to comply when using the Bunting tool. We recommend speaking to your vendors to ensure they are compliant, too, and get it in writing.
You'll need to make sure you're compliant with the 8 Rights of Individuals under the GDPR – such as the right to access or rectify personal data. If you're a Bunting customer, you'll be able to implement your customers' rights easily through the Bunting platform. Find out more about how to comply with the 8 rights here.
While GDPR no doubt brings challenges, we do believe this to be a turning point in the industry which will ultimately lead to better, more focused marketing.

Q: Call the previous command in lldb inside Xcode I have a basic question on lldb in Xcode.
When using lldb in Xcode, how you guys call the command previously executed ?
Typing the same command every time is very frustrated to me, and
now looking the way to call them in efficient way.
I know "command history" will list the command with the number,
and the $ will execute the command.
But is there something similar like ctrl-p/ctrl-n or ctrl-r in bash
to show or search the previous commands ?
(lldb command running on terminal (not build-in lldb inside
Xcode) can do this.)
I'm using Xcode version 11.5(11E608c).

A: Type Ctrl R and then type part of the command you want. It'll display the first matching command. Keep typing Ctrl R and it will cycle through previous matching commands.

A: Use up arrow in the LLDB command prompt. It works similar to Terminal in that regard.

This past week I attended the 'Dwell on Design event in Soho, NYC. Dwell Media found a unique way to put a spin on a traditional design show and make it so much more.
Hot button topics such as learning spaces, hospitality venues, public spaces, and urban infrastructure were all discussed in panels and candid conversations.
The design installations were just as inspiring as the discussions and debates of the panels.
Winter was in the air the day we attended the show and I was drawn to this living wall by plant wall design. Their plant wall designs can be installed indoors and outdoors and enhances the beauty of any space it inhabits.
Ideapaint truly got our gears turning and inspired conceptual ideas for areas in an upcoming project. This company's materials can transforms not only walls, but any surface into a boundless dry erase canvas, giving you the space you need to create, connect and fully explore your big ideas.

Jamie Vardy scored a brace as Leicester City beat Watford 4 – 2
Jamie Vardy scored a brace as Leicester City beat Watford 4 – 2. Ranieri was in the opponents' dugout for the first time since guiding the Foxes to the 2015-16 Premier League title and received a great reception from the home fans. Jamie Vardy scored twice as Leicester beat Watford in a hugely entertaining match to ruin Claudio Ranieri's return to the King Power Stadium.
But in a chaotic and thrilling game played in blizzard conditions, his current side played a big part in their own downfall. There looked to be no danger when Jonny Evans launched a free-kick forward, but William Ekong ducked under the ball and that allowed James Maddison to fire the 16th-minute opener past Daniel Bachmann.
Watford were gifted a chance to equalise in the 30th minute when Wilfred Ndidi clumsily chopped down Emmanuel Dennis and Joshua King fired his penalty into the top corner. But the hosts retook the lead four minutes later as Vardy produced a fine lifted finish following Maddison's pass and the pair combined again just before half-time with Vardy glancing in a header from Maddison's corner.
Dennis then dispossessed Timothy Castagne and calmly finished to make it 3-2 in the 61st minute, but the hosts quickly restored their two-goal advantage after Harvey Barnes set up Ademola Lookman for a close-range tap-in.
The victory takes Leicester up from 13th into ninth, while Watford remain 16th, four points above the relegation zone. Leicester's win was only their fifth of the season from 13 Premier League matches. Manager Brendan Rodgers will have been delighted with his side's effort in tough, sometimes farcical conditions, in their second game in four days after a 3-1 win over Legia Warsaw on Thursday.
The match began on a clear afternoon, but after 20 minutes the snow came and did not stop for the rest of the encounter. Burnley's home clash with Tottenham was postponed earlier on Sunday because of heavy snow at Turf Moor and in the second half at Leicester, the game was paused as ground staff used brooms to clear the snow just to see the lines of the penalty area.
That left seven minutes of injury time, but the game was able to be completed, although Vardy later claimed Bachmann was "trying to get it called off with the ref". "You have to stay professional and we did that. Pitches have undersoil heating and we weren't worried," added Vardy.
Asked if he feared the game would get called off, Rodgers said: "I was hoping not. The last game I was involved in like that was Swansea away at Ipswich, at Portman Road. "But the ground staff cleared the areas the referee wanted and the ball was moving fine. The snow lightened off and we were able to see the game through."
Watford had beaten Manchester United 4-1 last time out – a result that cost United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer his job. But they looked fragile in defence throughout against the Foxes. Vardy nearly had a first-half hat-trick, but was denied by the legs of Bachmann.
Ranieri has now had six games in charge of Watford and lost four of them. His side have not had a clean sheet all season and need to dramatically improve at the back and do so quickly. European champions Chelsea visit Vicarage Road on Wednesday and reigning Premier League title holders Manchester City follow on Saturday.
If Watford defend like they did at the King Power Stadium, they could well be on the end of two thrashings. It will have been an afternoon of mixed emotions for Ranieri as Leicester fans sang songs praising him throughout the match – a tribute to the club's achievements five years ago when they won the league after being written off as 5,000-1 no-hopers at the start of the campaign.
"The reception was fantastic," said the 70-year-old Italian. "I want to say thank you to all the Leicester fans, but also the Watford fans as well. They came here on this difficult day and I hope they're proud of us. "We fought until the end and tried to do our best. It was Christmas Day conditions but that's OK. We lost because we made mistakes."
On the reaction Ranieri received, Rodgers added: "It was brilliant. Big applause to our supporters. It warms your heart when you see that reaction and I'm delighted for him. "The Leicester City fans gave him a deserving, great ovation."

Meet Mike Jurkovic
I currently live in:
The hills of the Hudson Valley with Emily, the deer, the bears, the battling hummingbirds, a seasonal view of the Shawangunk Ridge, and our three cats.
I joined All About Jazz in:
The summer of 2017.
Why did you decide to contribute to All About Jazz?
I had been writing and contributing to more rock and folk oriented publications for years as the Rock 'n' Roll Curmudgeon when a couple of encouraging regional jazz musicians and publicists advised me to seek out All About Jazz. I inquired and Michael took me and my often recalcitrant style aboard and it's been a rewarding association ever since. One funny recollection about the rock thing though. I was turned down by Mojo Magazine because they felt my style was too much like the great Lester Bangs. That was a backhanded compliment if ever I'd received one.
How do you contribute to All About Jazz?
I tussle with my inner pundit a lot so I do CD reviews mostly. When we could go out and see shows I reviewed a few but, to be honest, when I'm at a play or jazz gig or rock show with Emily and others, I just want to realize how fortunate I am to live live events as they happen. Our present history doesn't allow for that. So I don't want to be scribbling on napkins and receipts to later try and decipher whatever my impressions of the night were and how great was this and that was or wasn't.
What is your musical background?
Well after The Beatles ruined my life it goes like this: In the mid-'70s I was a roadie and light guy for a then very popular Hudson Valley band. I co-wrote their most popular song "I Can't Drive Every Highway." I then did a lot of regional music productions and a lot of videos. I had songs turned down by music publishers in Nashville because "what do city kids know about country music?" Now it appears anyone from anywhere can write one. In the early '80's I was the songwriter and off-key voice of the punkily cantankerous Sic Pups and in the early to mid-'90s, I was the same for the spiky, political, and experimental New Nervous Voice. New Nervous Voice lost their record/distribution deal in the label squeeze of the day. We were in good company though. Major folk like Van Morrison and Joni Mitchell got squeezed too. You can see and hear some of New Nervous Voice videos on my YouTube page.
In between all that I was co-producing and co-writing some great songs for a Hudson Valley supergroup, The Rent, who were, by general consensus, on par with Petty and ahead of Mellancamp but in the end they were the great American band that didn't have the balls to go all the way.
As a performing poet, I've kept my hand in the spoken word/audio realm. I recently put out a CD to accompany my latest collection of poems, AmericanMental.
What was the first record you bought that you would still listen to today?
No big secret there. What else could it have been but Meet The Beatles? Even with all the remixes and remasters the original vinyl with all its scritches, scratches, pops and dings still sounds like you're hearing it for the very first time.
Aside from jazz, what styles of music do you enjoy?
It's mostly jazz these days because I can't seem to generate enough interest to listen to whatever is considered rock 'n' roll these days. It's amazing how much like everything else two guitars, bass and drums can sound sixty years down the line. But put a jazz trio or quartet in the same room and you're hearing something new. I find the contrast more than amazing. Rock was so new at a time. A good long time. It doesn't seem that fresh anymore.
Well it's four-thirty in the morning and as we speak, I'm shifting happily between two new releases: Terje Rypdal's Conspiracy and Stephanie Richards' Supersense. Over the last week or so I've been listening to two very excellent new recordings. Branches Vol. 1 by cellist Tomoko Omura and bassist Matt Ulery's Pollinator . I also haven't been able to let go of Bob Dylan's Rough and Rowdy Ways. Pearl Jam's Gigaton sneaks into the playlist when Emily isn't home.
Which five recent releases would you recommend to readers who share your musical taste?
Even in the bleakest of times which each generation can argue happened or is happening on their watch, it is our artists who champion and call and this grim season has featured plenty of inspiring stuff. I mean, besides the previously mentioned sets, Art Blakey's super cool, previously unreleased Just Coolin' hits the spot. I'm also looking very much forward to the upcoming 5-CD sets Joni Mitchell's Archives Vol: 1 The Early Years (1963-1967) and Tom Petty's Wildflowers.
What inspired you to write about jazz?
I'm not going to lie. Expanding the brain with many of the wide array of pharmaceutical agents available at the time, especially when Weather Report, Return to Forever, Herbie Hancock and Miles Davis funk/space/ambient/grooves weren't far from anyone's turntables helped immensely.
What do you like to do in your free time? Any hobbies?
As a widely published poet and public performer (latest book AmericanMental, Luchador Press, 2020) it takes up a lot of free time. But is it free? Seems like work sometimes, especially trying to sell a new book (or any of the older ones come to think of it) during our latest national and global misfortunes. Hobbies include photo-visualization (I like to deconstruct boring photos using my limited skills on Photoshop until something new emerges) and I love to hike the mountain trails of the Hudson Valley. Autumn's here and that's where I'll be. I still keep my hand in songwriting with a Hudson Valley musician or two. I've also, after years of urging from Emily and friends, started to abstract paint on driftwood. And I'm really, really hoping to get back to my three-hour, Tuesday night jazz program Jazz Sanctuary on WOOC-FM 93.5 out of Troy, NY.
What role does jazz music play in your life?
Seriously, who wants to hear the news? As active citizens we have to stay informed and conscious but you also have to dream and that's where the music comes in. I've also started to write my poetry while under the influence of the music, something I haven't usually done in the past and I'm liking some of the results.
How does writing about jazz contribute to the music itself?
It helps to continue and propel forward a great tradition and its deep, rich history. There is a great sense of creativity to jazz and jazz writing. And as we've become more separated physically the writing connects us to readers and listeners. It still boggles my mind when I see how many readers check out my reviews. Be it a handful or a hundred or several thousand, we are communicating. That a handful may then go to my website or blog to investigate or listen to the poetry links us as humans even more because, when all is tallied, we are meant to, no let me say we need to, talk to each other.
What do you like most about All About Jazz?
It allows for and inspires the communication I was just speaking about.
What positives have come from your association with All About Jazz?
You mean besides all the great music I get to listen too? Getting messages from readers and musicians from all over the world, some of us even sharing our creative endeavors is pretty damn cool. That I've gotten to make the acquaintance of Michael, Chris May and a couple other folk from AAJ is rewarding, as is expanding my readership.
Vinyl, CD or Streaming?
Okay, I admit it. As eager as I was to return to vinyl after interviewing writer Michael Fremer a few years back, I went and bought a refurbished turntable and went back to my vinyl but I forgot I had to flip sides every twenty or so minutes and it just seemed to take the mystery out of vinyl. I still do from time to time but it's mostly streaming and CDs for me.
Which article from your archive is the most memorable and why?
As an eager student of history that's a real hard one to quantify. Each release I listen to, be it brand spanking new or archival, debut recording or umpteenth one, affords me a chance to dig into the history of the music and the times and apply it to my review. History is always with us no matter how far ahead we fool ourselves to believe we are. I think I'll leave that one to the folks that regularly read what I contribute.
Would you do it all again?
Why the hell not. I've loved a lot, have crossed a lot of paths and I've gotten to present and express myself in ways most never get a chance to do.

September 05, 2013 - 16:53 BST hellomagazine.com James Corden stars as Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts in the newly-released trailer for One Chance, a biopic about the Welsh singer's life
James Corden stars as Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts in the newly released trailer for the biopic One Chance.
In the film James takes on the role of Welsh mobile-phone salesman-turned-opera singer Paul, who first captured the nation's attention in 2007 when he auditioned for the famous talent show.

Paul promoting the film
Rumours have also been circulating the Simon Cowell, who signed Paul to his record label Syco, will play himself in the film.
Speaking during filming James revealed that music mogul Simon had showed his support for the biopic.
"I haven't met him or talked to him, but one of our producers is in touch with him a lot," said James. "He's been very supportive from afar.
"He loves the story – it's just a testament to the power of his shows."
Over the past year James and the rest of the cast have been spotted filming in Wales and Venice, where Paul attended an opera master class before he rose to fame.

ATR Delivers First Ever Green Financed Aircraft
First of five new 72-600 orders by Braathens Regional Airlines
Toulouse, 19 December, 2019 – ATR, world number one regional aircraft manufacturer, today delivered the first ever green financed aircraft to Swedish regional airline Braathens Regional Airlines, BRA. The aircraft is leased from Avation and is financed by Deutsche Bank. It is part of a new order for five 72-600s, all purchased by Avation from ATR and leased to BRA. Upon completion of the order in early 2020, the airline will itself operate an entirely ATR fleet, comprised of 15 ATR 72-600 aircraft.
Vigeo Eiris, one of the world's leading independent agencies providing Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings, expressed the opinion that the project of replacing ageing regional jets with new ATR 72-600 aircraft is aligned with the Green Loan Principles (GLP) established by the Loan Market Association in 2018.
This first ever Green Financing of an aircraft confirms the high sustainable value of the modern ATR turboprop aircraft. The ATR 72-600 aircraft has a significant environmental advantage over regional jets and other turboprops emitting 40% less CO2. Turboprops are more efficient than jets on short sectors as they accelerate air using less power, so use less fuel.
BRA CEO, Geir Stormorken, remarked: "We have made a commitment to decrease our environmental impact and the ATR is an essential part of our strategy. With that as a goal, it simply makes sense to choose the most efficient aircraft. By replacing parts of our existing fleet of regional jets with ATR 72-600 aircraft we will emit 7,500 fewer tonnes of CO2 per aircraft, per year. We believe that aviation is an essential part of Sweden's regional transport network and we look forward to showing our passengers and the Swedish public at large that there is a sustainable way of flying."
Executive Chairman of Avation, Jeff Chatfield, commented: "As a lessor, it is essential for us to progress our fleet into new technology low carbon emission aircraft such as the ATR 72-600 which maintain their value over a long period. ATR is one of the best assets in terms of residual value retention in the business. BRA's decision to consolidate their own operation around the ATR 72-600 aircraft type demonstrates their understanding of the regional aviation market and the importance of reducing carbon emissions. BRA is an airline that is leading the way in terms of striving to offer their passengers the best possible experience, whilst optimising operations and minimising environmental impact."
"Deutsche Bank is proud to have played a key role in the first green financing of a commercial aircraft," said Richard Finlayson, Deutsche Bank Head of Global Transportation Finance, Asia. "We're hopeful that this leads the way for more sustainable financing activity in aviation, and increased adoption of lower carbon emission aircraft across the industry, to help make flying more eco-responsible."
Stefano Bortoli, Chief Executive Officer of ATR, said: "It is only natural that the first Green Financing deal for a commercial aircraft would involve an ATR and BRA. Thanks to the innovation of the ATR design, it inherently benefits from its lighter fuselage and the efficiency of its turboprop, meaning it burns less fuel and emits less CO2. It also makes sense that BRA, the leading voice on responsible regional flying in Sweden, would upgrade its own fleet to an all ATR 72-600 one, benefitting from these advantages compared to its rivals. We are proud to launch Green Financing in commercial aviation and lead the way in terms of innovation and sustainable regional aviation. We are thankful to Avation for having the foresight and flexibility to establish the operating lease for this series of aircraft deliveries."
About Braathens Regional Airlines
Braathens Regional Airlines, is one of Sweden's leading domestic airlines, with a Swedish market share of 30 percent. Braathens operates 26 routes to 17 destinations and carries more than 2,2 million passengers annually. Braathens' On Time Punctuality is outperforming all other airlines in the world.
In 2016, 2017 and 2018, BRA was awarded as the airline with the most satisfied passengers in Sweden. The airline was formed in 2016 after consolidation of several domestic air carriers, but the company's aviation DNA reaches back to 1946 when the very first airline of the Braathen family was founded, Braathens S.A.F.E.
BRA was the first commercial airline to become environmentally certified by ISO 14001 in 2009, the first airline to offer bio-fuel to travelers in 2018 and the first to off-set 110 % of its emissions of GHG in 2019. As a leader in sustainable aviation, BRA has ambitious environmental goals:
To reduce GHG emissions by 50 percent per passenger by 2025, and to become fossil free by 2030.
These goals will be reached through new and environmental efficient ATR aircraft, increased use of sustainable biofuel, and even smarter traffic planning.

You are at:Home»Admissions»What LSAT Score do I Need to Get Into Stanford Law School?
Now, what does this all mean as the LSAT score you specifically need for Stanford Law School? Well, if you have an LSAT better than 169 and a GPA above 3.82, Stanford Law School is potentially an option for you.
The difficulty is that Stanford is not just any other law school when it comes to determining your chances by the numbers. Because it is one of the top 3 schools, Stanford has far more applicants that meet its criteria than it has seats to fill. Though this is true to some extent at every school, it is way more true at Stanford, whose 9% acceptance rate is topped only by Yale. This acceptance rate is also so low in part because the overwhelming majority of those students who are accepted at Stanford Law School choose to enroll.
These conditions make Stanford Law School into what is known in the admissions game as a "Black Box." In plain speech, this means that while bad scores might break you, good scores won't necessarily make you. Because way more applicants than Stanford can admit have numbers in the range they are looking for, they will look to other factors to decide whether you will be accepted.
Now here she is discussing how to write the personal statement which is part of the application process. However, the point stands that you don't need some crazy "hook" such as being an Olympic athlete. What you likely do need to be is interesting, and you want to come across as such in your application.
Being an interesting person is going to help at any law school, but Stanford more than any other school can claim to look beyond the numbers and take the whole person into account. The proof of this is in the numbers: because Stanford is an incredibly desirable school (A top 3 school in a place with some of the nicest weather on Earth!) it could easily have the LSAT 25th/75th of Harvard or even better, yet it chooses not to.
Meanwhile, if your heart is set on Stanford, remember that while it isn't Yale, you still need a very high LSAT score (getting a 168 or better is no mean feat!) to have your best chance. Check out some recommended reading for boosting your admissions chances in the law school game, and also remember to post your questions in the comments section! If you want to get into Stanford Law, make sure that you are maximizing your LSAT score by studying with the right LSAT prep books: CLICK HERE to learn how I got a 177 on the LSAT.
LSAT LSAT Score SLS Stanford Stanford Law School what are my chances?
Previous ArticleHow Did You Learn to Stay Focused for the LSAT?
Next Article How Do Law Schools Consider Multiple LSAT Scores?
I'm a bit nervous about whether I will be accepted to Stanford and Harvard (the top two schools to which I applied), and am hoping that you can give me your take on my chances.
A little information about me: I'm a Black male, and graduated in May of 2014 from Kansas State with a 3.33 cumulative GPA. I work in IT for the oil and gas industry, and will have completed about one full year of employment before the fall 2015 semester begins.
I didn't decide to apply to law school until mid-November, so I'm definitely one of the later applications. I'm taking the LSAT in February, and on my last five practice exams (under strict time conditions and with a fifth experimental section) I have averaged a 176. Since I've got about 5 weeks left, I plan on completing the RC book (I've already finished the LG and LR books) and drilling the tougher questions on all three sections. I'm hoping to get my score up to a 177-178 by the date of the test.
So, do you think there's hope? I've already submitted my applications, but my packet won't be complete until March obviously. I'm concerned because on Harvard's website it states that they don't "normally consider" February LSATs and I've heard that Stanford is big on GPA (and mine is well below their 25th percentile). I'm hoping that my URM and non-traditional status will make up for my GPA and timing shortcomings, but don't know for sure.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your response! Your site has been of so much help to me.

Home Burrillville Local events will commemorate Memorial Day in northern Rhode Island
Local events will commemorate Memorial Day in northern Rhode Island
Sandy Seoane
Commander Raymond Trinque is among those saluting the flag during a Memorial Day service held in 2020.
NORTHERN RHODE ISLAND – It's a long weekend marking the start of summer, and often, a time for cookouts, fireworks and outdoor gatherings with family and friends.
But Memorial Day means much more than just a day off of work, and several events across northern Rhode Island will mark the occasion, and remember the heroes it was created to honor.
The American holiday, observed each year on the last Monday of May – or Monday, May 31, in 2021 – is a day to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it began in the years following the Civil War, and became an official federal holiday in 1971, honoring the dead who fought in all wars.
Locally, several organization have planned gatherings to commemorate the day.
In Burrillville, The Burrillville Band and Allied Veterans Council will host a ceremony at Freedom Park in Harrisville starting at 11 a.m.. Unlike past years, there will be no additional ceremony at the Nasonville Monument, due to the current detour from bridge work on Route 102 and accompanying traffic.
The Burrillville High School Select Choir will perform at the event with The Burrillville Band.
Residents are invited to attend the ceremony, or can watch from the comfort of home, as the event will also be live-streamed via Facebook. Anyone in need of more information can call (401) 568-0858.
In North Smithfield, Leclaire Kozlik Bassett Logan Post 6342 will hold their traditional Memorial Day Parade. Participants will assemble at the Slatersvillle Plaza and step off at 10:30 a.m., proceeding to the Memorial Town Building on Main Street, where members of the VFW will perform the solemn Memorial Day ceremony to honor lost comrades.
Organizer Linda Thibault noted that this year, the event is especially poignant following the recent death of Commander Ernest Frappier of North Smithfield, an Army veteran of the Vietnam War, Legacy Member of Post 6342 and the Amvets, and former State Commander. Frappier, who died on May 7, was buried at the Rhode Island Veterans Cemetery. His family will be the honorary Grand Marshall of the parade, on the 75th Anniversary of Post 6342 carrying on the Memorial Day tradition of honoring fallen comrades.
Ernest Frappier
The North Smithfield High School band will play the National Anthem and Taps during the ceremony, and then the parade will proceed to the Village Haven for hot dogs and cold beverages provided by Scott McGee of Gators Pub, and Mike Pestana of Lil' General.
Thibault organized the event along with McGee and Farrell McMillan, chairman of the parade committee, and thanked her colleagues for their efforts in preserving the tradition. Thibault also thanked Gary Naradowy and the Village Haven for hosting the collation.
"Thank you to all members of VFW Post 6342 for continuing to remind us of the true significance of Memorial Day," she said. "Acting Commander David Thibault invites all military personnel and Veterans to join in the parade and Memorial Day ceremony."
Also in North Smithfield, the General Zenas Bliss Camp #12 of the Rhode Island Sons of Veterans of the Civil War will host a Memorial Day ceremony at 11 a.m. at Hotchkiss Cemetery on Smithfield Road. The ceremony will include rendering of military honors with a rifle salute, and the playing of Taps.
SUVCW promotes the proper observance of Memorial Day and the preservation of Civil War Memorials and burials. The organization is recognized as the legal successor to the Grand Army of the Republic, which began Memorial Day in 1868.
The public is invited to attend the commemoration at Hotchkiss, which is adjacent to Union Cemetery on Smithfield Road.
In neighboring Woonsocket, the Veterans Memorial Museum on Earle Street will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The museum, operated by North Smithfield resident Glenn Dusablon boasts a large collection of artifacts, from weapons and uniforms, to medals, and everyday items from various conflicts.
At St. Charles Borromeo Cemetery on Farm Street in nearby Blackstone, Mass., a public open-air Mass will be offered at 10 a.m. on Monday, "on behalf of all the faithful departed buried there." The event is a long standing tradition at the cemetery, and relatives and friends are encouraged to attend, and bring a folding chair. Father John Kiley will offer the Mass, and Wayne and Becky Kilcline will coordinate music and liturgical participation.
No matter how you chooses to commemorate Memorial Day, amid the BBQs, beach time or general relaxation, don't forget to take a moment to remember and honor those who came before, and made the ultimate sacrifice.
