The province is investing $2 million in the recently released Bow River Access Plan to make it easier for people to enjoy the river downstream of Calgary. The plan creates a safe and user-friendly network of five access points along a 52-kilometre stretch of the river from Calgary's Fish Creek Provincial Park downstream to Wyndam-Carseland Provincial Park.
A number of upgrades have already been completed, including kiosks and signage, and a new washroom facility at McKinnon Flats. Additional enhancements include rebuilding the access road to McKinnon Flats, better parking at Johnson's Island and working with the leaseholder to improve access at Legacy Island.
The plan represents the government's commitment to supporting recreation on the Bow River. Improvements will benefit local guiding and outfitting businesses as well as fish and tackle shops.
The plan balances recreation opportunities with environmental protection by including measures to ensure the health and sustainability of the Bow River fishery and ecosystems through invasive species monitoring and working with river users on the long-term stewardship of the Bow River. It also commits to exploring additional future access points along the river.
The Bow River Access Plan was developed in consultation with the public, First Nations, Métis and local recreation and conservation organizations. The plan complements the City of Calgary's Bow River Access Strategy. To read the plan in full, visit Bow River Access Plan.

"Phyllis Moses has decades of expertise that she utilizes in Viniyoga and listening to your body. After teaching private voice and professional choirs for the past 23 years, I did not expect to experience new levels of breath anchoring and embodiment. My one-on-one time with Phyllis spanned BEMER chair, guided meditations and structural analysis of my body's movement in order to facilitate ease in motion. Along with being incredibly supportive and graciously encouraging, Phyllis has a wonderful gift for helping one tap into the grace and coordination of the body. Over time, I have experienced great emotional and physical release, a more grounded and balanced approach towards what I ask of my 42-year body. I can now honor what my body does for me every day with a gentler and wiser approach. I highly recommend seeing Phyllis in either individual or group classes, as she fills the room with her loving energy and expertise. - Georgina P.

Home News NHS race body finds ethnic inequalities across the health system
NHS race body finds ethnic inequalities across the health system
A new review of 10 years of healthcare research has found "stark ethnic inequalities" affecting parts of the health system including mental health services and the pay levels of ethnic minority staff.
The review, first reported in The Guardian and seen by the PA news agency, recorded inequalities in every field it studied: mental healthcare, maternal and neonatal healthcare, digital access to healthcare, genetic testing and genomic medicine and the NHS workforce.
The Observatory director Dr Habib Naqvi said the review made a "clear and overwhelming case for radical action on race inequity in our healthcare system".
It is clear that existing evidence on the stark health inequalities faced by ethnic minority communities has not led to significant change.
Dr Habib Naqvi
"This is why the Observatory has been established: to synthesize what already exists, translate it into actionable policy recommendations, and to challenge leaders to act."
The report said the impact of racism within the NHS workforce included evidence of a pay gap affecting "black, Asian mixed and other groups", and that during the pandemic Covid-19 infections were higher in ethnic minority staff.
Some of the largest inequalities were recorded in mental healthcare.
It found GPs were less likely to refer ethnic minority patients to the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies program compared to white patients.
Black children were 10 times more likely to be referred to mental health services via social services than a GP compared to white children.
The review of maternal healthcare found evidence of negative interactions, stereotyping, disrespect, discrimination and cultural insensitivity, leading to some ethnic minority women feeling 'othered', unwelcome, and poorly cared-for.
Lead investigator Dr Dharmi Kapadia from the University of Manchester said "the time for critical action" was now.
She said: "For too many years, the health of ethnic minority people has been negatively impacted by a lack of high-quality ethnic monitoring data recorded in NHS systems; lack of appropriate interpreting services for people who do not speak English confidently and delays in, or avoidance of, seeking help for health problems due to fear of racist treatment from NHS healthcare professionals.
"Our review confirmed that all of these issues are still to be tackled by the NHS. The evidence on the poor healthcare outcomes for many ethnic minority groups across a range of services is overwhelming, and convincing."
The research was conducted by the University of Manchester in conjunction with the University of Sheffield and the University of Sussex.
Over 13,000 research papers were screened and 178 studies were included in the final review. But one problem encountered by the researchers was a lack of research into ethnic experiences in a number of specific areas.
An NHS spokesperson told The Guardian: "The pandemic has shone a stark light on health inequalities across the country and the NHS is already taking action to improve the experiences of patients and access to services.
"The NHS has set out what local health services should be focusing on over the next year so they can make these improvements in their local communities and is already working closely with the Race and Health Observatory to drive forward the recommendations set out in this report. "
The report. which is expected to be published in full later this week, urges further 'critical action' to be undertaken by organizations including NHS England, NHS Improvement and NHS Digital.

Q: The Windows SharePoint Services adapter runtime does not have permissions to invoke the adapter Web service I recently was working through a lab integrating BizTalk Server 2010 with SharePoint Server 2010. The idea  was to have an InfoPath form submitted to an http end point. BizTalk would receive the InfoPath form, transform it, and then upload the form to a SharePoint document library.
This would make use of a send port configured to use the SharePoint Services Biztalk Adapter.
However, when I submitted the InfoPath form, it successfully submitted to the HTTP endpoint, but it did not upload to the SharePoint library. Further digging produced the following error:

Error details: The Windows SharePoint Services adapter runtime does not have permissions to invoke the adapter Web service. In order to fix this issue, you have to add the ADVENTUREWORKS\BizTalkHost Windows account to the "SharePoint Enabled Hosts" Windows group on the Windows SharePoint Services machine. This operation will allow BizTalk host instances running under ADVENTUREWORKS\BizTalkHost Windows account to invoke the adapter Web service in order to send and receive messages to or from SharePoint sites. The group membership will not take effect until you restart the BizTalk host instance.
This error was triggered by the Windows SharePoint Services receive location or send port with URI wss://biztalkdemo:80/LoanApplications.
Windows SharePoint Services adapter event ID: 12458".

Once I added ADVENTUREWORKS\BizTalkHost Windows account to the "SharePoint Enabled Hosts" Windows group on the Windows SharePoint Services machine facing same issue and infoPath is not able to transfer from BT to share point library and message got dehydrated?

Other question regarding share point adapter configuration for CreditOrderSharePoint -- in the configure pipeline dialog box, in the processingInstructionOptions box, type 1 and then insert the processing instructions you specify in the xmlAsmProcessingInstruction box -- type ---
<?mso-infoPathSolution solutionVersion="1.0.0.21" productVersion="14.0.0"

So where do I get this information ?

A: ADVENTUREWORKS\BizTalkHost service account also need to be added to SharePoint site:

With WrestleMania 36, Tampa lands a WWE whopper
The event's economic impact could rival that of the Super Bowl, CFP national title game
Titus O'Neil takes the stage Thursday during the announcement that WrestleMania 36 will be held in Tampa on April 5, 2020 at Raymond James Stadium. The Tampa Bay Sports Commission pursued the opportunity to host WrestleMania for 10 years. MONICA HERNDON | Times [ Tampa Bay Times (2019) ]
Joey KnightTimes staff
Published Mar. 7, 2019|Updated Jan. 27, 2020
TAMPA ― For all the spectacles ― from Super Bowls to Frozen Fours ― his group has helped the bay area land, Rob Higgins had a white whale frothing and flourishing in the sports/entertainment expanse, eluding his dogged pursuit.
For 10 years, the Tampa Bay Sports Commission's indefatigable executive director couldn't quite snag a WrestleMania. Until now.
"I would say it's probably the biggest event that we haven't had the opportunity to host yet," Higgins said Wednesday, "so this is why this is such an incredible announcement for our hometown."
That announcement arrives later this morning, when Higgins, other local leaders and officials from World Wrestling Entertainment confirm that WrestleMania 36 will be held at Raymond James Stadium on April 5, 2020.
PREVIOUS STORY: WrestleMania 36 coming to Tampa in 2020
Slide over, Super Bowls. Create a space, College Football Playoff national title game. In terms of crown-jewel sporting events (or in this case, sports entertainment events), WrestleMania possesses every bit the luster of any to previously descend upon the bay area.
"Tampa enjoys a special place in sports entertainment history and has produced many of its iconic figures," Tampa mayor Bob Buckhorn said in a statement released by the TBSC. "We look forward to WWE fans from around the world converging on our city in 2020 to enjoy all that we have to offer."
Three and a half decades after the inaugural WrestleMania, staged at Madison Square Garden at the dawn of the WWE's (then known as the World Wrestling Federation) evolution into a global brand, the event has burgeoned into a week-long extravaganza.
Ancillary events will include WrestleMania Axxess (an interactive fan festival similar to the NFL's Super Bowl Experience) at the Tampa Convention Center, the WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and a presentation of NXT TakeOver (the WWE's third flagship brand).

"We are now a true seven-day-long celebration," WWE official John Saboor said.
That celebration could attract upwards of 150,000 fans. The Canadian research firm contracted by the WWE to measure a community's special-events windfall indicated WrestleMania 34 in New Orleans generated $175 million in economic impact for the city and Louisiana, according to Saboor.
Higgins said he estimates WrestleMania, previously held three times in Florida, will generate between 40-50,000 hotel and visitor-room nights. When asked if that occupies the same stratosphere as the other major sporting events hosted by Tampa, Higgins said, "It is right there."
"Over the past 12 years, WrestleMania has generated more than $1.2 billion in cumulative economic impact for our host cities," said Saboor, the WWE's executive vice-president of special events.
"Of course, we're incredibly bullish on Tampa Bay, given the strength of the destination, and we'd expect to meet or even exceed our most recent economic impact result in 2020."
Those dollars will arrive on the heels of at least a decade of investment by Higgins and his community partners

We'll send you major developments in the local, state and national sports world as they happen.
Unlike other major events, which required formal (and often creative) bid presentations, the acquisition of WrestleMania was more of a chipping-away process.
Higgins said his group has submitted "a ton of information" over the years to the WWE regarding what a Tampa-based WrestleMania would look like.
Saboor concurred, saying the WWE's discussions with bay area officials were ongoing for the better part of 10 years. When Higgins initially revealed last May the Tampa Bay Sports Commission was bidding for a WrestleMania, he said the hope was to land one in 2023, '24 or '25.
"There's nothing in particular that accelerated this timeline," Saboor said, "just more an ability to engage one another over what has been almost a decade of consistent and solid dialogue between the two entities."

Ultimately, the area won the WWE over with its available venues (RayJay, Amalie Arena, the convention center), infrastructure (Tampa International Airport, hotel-room quantities, etc.) and the "level of involvement from the public- and private-sector leadership," Saboor said.
"And certainly important in our decision-making process," Saboor added, "is your community's past resume in hosting other major events."
Thirteen months from now, that resume will include a whale of a wrestling showcase.
"We are honored to bring WrestleMania back to Florida," Hillsborough County commissioner Ken Hagan said. "The week of WWE events will not only bring excitement to fans, but also generate a significant economic boom for Tampa Bay's economy."

PANAMA - The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, today welcomed during the inauguration of the Seventh Summit of the Americas the new era of "dialogue, respect for freedom, inclusion and cooperation" that has begun with the meeting of the Heads of State and Government of the Hemisphere taking place today and tomorrow in Panama, a "historic moment" in which for the first time the 35 independent nations of the Hemisphere are represented.
"Sometimes, in real life, our simultaneous commitments toward respecting sovereign equality, full inclusion, and respect for democracy and human rights pose dilemmas that are difficult to resolve. But intervention, exclusion, political repression, and confrontation are no longer acceptable or useful in inter-American relations," said the OAS leader at the Anayansi Theater of the Atlapa Convention Center in Panama City, where the Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela inaugurated the Summit.
Addressing the majority of the Heads of State and Government of the region, Secretary General Insulza said "our hemisphere has, in recent years, undergone major changes that make it impossible to sustain the policies of the past. In the 21st century, the inter-American system can only function as an inclusive system made up of diverse, sovereign countries that are legitimized by democracy and act on a single hemispheric agenda in conditions of full equality." This inclusiveness was reflected in the presence today in Panama of the 35 member states of the OAS, an achievement that Secretary General Insulza attributed to President Varela, whom he compared therefore to the Liberator Simon Bolivar.
In that context, he highlighted, the foundation for the future could not be better, because in the Americas, "We have a commitment to peace. It has been almost a century since the nations of the Americas waged war among themselves: longer than any other part of the world." "These are achievements that we must protect. Our region may have many problems and even more than a few differences, but we all agree that they must never be resolved through conflict," he added.
That constructive spirit, continued the OAS leader, is the same that governments must use to respond to the demands of "prosperity with equality," the theme chosen by Panama for the Summit. "The peoples of the Americas expect our governments to meet their commitments of peace, economic growth, creation of decent jobs, adequate public services, security, and better distribution of wealth," he said.
"Our agricultural output registers a surplus, but many people across the Americas still suffer malnutrition. Corruption remains a threat to our democracies. The level violence in some of our countries is unacceptable; drug trafficking, money laundering, the proliferation of weapons, and human trafficking create growing feelings of insecurity in our societies. Fulfillment of the precepts of our Inter-American Democratic Charter and our commitments toward human rights, freedom of expression, gender equality, and nondiscrimination is still inadequate," he added.
In that sense, he praised the fact that the preparatory work for the Summit was focused on "concrete solutions to known problems," and that the agreements reached, collected in the document titled "Commitments for Action," have already been sent to the organs of the Inter-American System for the implementation and follow-up.

AMLO proposes to sell the Embassies of Mexico
By Yucatan Times on February 11, 2020
Embassy of Mexico, Berlin, Germany
CIUDAD DE MEXICO (El Universal) – Mexico's president, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, announced that they are currently analyzing the possible sale of the properties of the Embassies and Consulates of Mexico, in order to "return to the people what was stolen".
"We have made good progress. When we arrived there were 51 luxury offices of ProMéxico in the world and so we are making significant savings". He recalled "we will continue to act with Republican austerity". (SIC)
The president explained that the Ministry of Finance is responsible for making the decision to put these properties for sale, at present we can find 80 embassies of Mexico around the world.
Embassy of Mexico, in Cuba
Isn't it counterproductive to sell the properties?
If you are wondering, the answer is yes. According to an opinion article in "El Universal", Mexican embassies and residences in other countries do not pay taxes to the receiving government and since they are state-owned, they do not pay rent for the property. Therefore, if all these properties are sold, the rent for a fully equipped place would be used, which would be more expensive.
Selling all the embassies would be equivalent in a couple of months to all the accumulated losses of Pemex, which loses a total of 7 million dollars a day.

WhatsApp Payment Service Holds Implications for Bitcoin Adoption
Indian E-Commerce site FreeCharge has partnered with WhatsApp to provide payment services directly through the WhatsApp chat application. FreeCharge made the announcement on May 20th, 2016 that they were adding their new feature to the messaging app to enable payment services.
Also read: Bitcoin Pizza Day's Sixth Anniversary!
WhatsApp users must have a certain setting approved for the feature to work properly and allow the service to function. With that certain setting enabled, they can begin to transfer money while they are chatting just by typing "FC" after the amount of money. "200FC," for example, would transfer INR200.
While WhatsApp is the most used chatting app in India, a large majority of Indian users still trade exclusively in cash. Thus, FreeCharge never had any distinct way of taking advantage of WhatsApp's user base. However, FreeCharge's goal is to transition more people in the country from primarily cash payments to digital trading later in the future.
WhatsApp: The Future of Remittances?
WhatsApp is a the most popular messaging application in the world because it allows anyone with an Internet connection to send SMS messages or make international calls to anyone on the planet for free. This, of course, makes it immensely popular with migrants and their families who generally would have to pay a minute-by-minute rate to make the same international calls.
Now, with this integrated payment service, WhatsApp could be used to make remittance transferring just as easy, and much cheaper than it currently stands. Right now, remittance payments are transferred through financial institutions such as banks or via wire transfers, which are known to take days to process. Depending on the financial institutions used to facilitate remittance payments, there can be certain fees associated with them as well.
What it Could Mean for Bitcoin Adoption
If chat applications like WhatsApp succeed in making digital payments more popular in developing countries like India, then that could easily open up the door for more people to become introduced to Bitcoin.
With the growth of the Bitcoin remittance services, such a transition would be a huge gain for the cryptocurrency community. Likely the biggest barrier to what is probably one of Bitcoin's most promising markets could be eliminated with people in poor countries turning to digital trade. The innate advantages of Bitcoin, such as faster and cheaper transactions would be a no-brainer for migrants trying to get as much money back their families as quick as possible.
Once people are used to, and feel safe making payments on a digital platform, then the knowledge of the benefits of doing remittance transfers in bitcoin will just become a matter of time.
What do you think of FreeCharge's new payment service feature? Do you think it could effect future Bitcoin adoption and the easing of doing remittance payments? Let us know in the comments below!

According to the American Heart Association recent estimates, about one in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure, but because there are no symptoms, nearly one-third of these people don't know they have it. In fact, many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure. This is why high blood pressure is often called the "Silent Killer." The only way to tell if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked.
Get the facts on high blood pressure and how to live a heart-healthier life. Find out how you can reduce your risks for heart attack and stroke with proper monitoring by a healthcare provider and by making simple lifestyle changes, even if you already have high blood pressure.

The Beverly Hills Diet is a combination diet that relies on specific chemical reactions within the body. Nuts and fruits are the main ingredients and according to this diet, certain fruits create specific reactions in your body: papaya softens fat, pineapple burns it off, and watermelon flushes it out the body.
What's on the Beverly Hills Diet Menu?
For the most part you eat fruit by itself and never mix it with proteins. This way the food is properly digested. For the first 10 days, only fruit is permitted. Then on day 11, you can only have carbohydrates. Not until day 19 can you actually eat protein.
People who like eating fatty foods and can't stand counting calories should enjoy this diet.
How successful is the Beverly Hills Diet?
The results of the Beverly Hills Diet are questionable. You can lose a lot of weight initially, but the rapid weight loss may end in health complications. The Beverly Hills Diet is also very low in protein and misses some essential vitamins and nutrients.
Great…another unsustainable, starve yourself diet. There is no good equivalent for this loser of a weight loss plan. So when in doubt, I say consider Sonoma as an alternative. It's my favorite new diet plan. At least it permits a glass of wine!
The Sonoma Diet is a unique weight loss plan that brings together, for the first time, the art and science of food. The appreciation and enjoyment of flavorful meals makes for a healthy eating style that becomes second nature. Simple instructions for the amounts and combinations of food make the plate your guide - and it was all designed so that you can shed pounds safely and easily until you reach your target weight.


A Lewiston, Maine accident attorney at the Law Offices of Joe Bornstein provides aggressive representation for victims injured because of carelessness and recklessness in Androscoggin County and throughout the state. We are proud of our decades-long history of getting clients the results they need. Whether you were sideswiped in a car accident on the Maine Turnpike (I-95) in Lewiston or you were injured in a slip and fall accident near Bates College, you can rely on a talented legal professional from our law offices to help. We encourage you to visit our call our office in Lewiston: 157 Main Street, Lewiston, ME 04240.
To help you get started, we have provided a few questions about accidents and negligence. Don't hesitate to call and speak with an attorney if you have other questions or want to find out if you have a case.
Should I try to deal with the insurance company on my own?
How much does it cost to hire a lawyer for my accident?
"Negligence" is one of those words attorneys might use on a daily basis, but you rarely hear other people saying it. That is, until they've been in an accident through no fault of their own. Essentially, negligence refers to someone's careless or reckless action. Many accidents happen because of negligence - someone does not take proper care when doing an action. Let's say you were driving on Sabattus Street (Route 126) in the Pond Road neighborhood of Lewiston. Another motorist is looking at a cellphone to read a text message and crashes into your car. The other driver clearly wasn't taking proper care in operating the vehicle. That driver was negligent and should be held accountable for his or her actions.
Insurance companies are notoriously difficult to deal with following an accident. You might hear from an adjuster who sounds friendly and willing to help. Don't be fooled. Claims adjusters work for the insurance company and they are trained to seek ways to pay out as little as possible. They may even play psychological games with victims to make them feel like they're getting the best settlement possible for the accident. Our attorneys have decades of experience handling claims on behalf of the injured and those who lost loved ones. We know that the initial offer is almost never the last offer. We can help you find a desirable settlement for your accident claim. That way, you can receive fair compensation and get on with your life.
When we handle accident claims, we don't charge clients by the hour. We don't ask for any upfront payments. Our contingency fee structure means you only pay us if there is a settlement or verdict. This way, we can work together as a team. If you don't recover compensation for your claim, we won't get paid any legal fees. Find out more right now. Call us to arrange a free consultation.

WEEGEE "JAYNE MANSFIELD DISTORTION", c. 1960
Arthur Felling, better known as Weegee (1899-1968) was a highly-successful (and notorious) photojournalist/artist. In addition to contributing an enormous number of images to various American newspapers, he would become famous, beyond New York and news circles, after the publication of Naked City (1945) and Weegee's People (1946).
Weegee's images of New York City crime, mishaps and tragedy are iconic and influential. Less well-known, however, is the work he focused on during the last twenty years of his life: known as the 'distortions' period. In the late 1940s, Weegee began experimenting with photographic manipulation both in the darkroom and using an array of filters or prisms (kaleidoscope) that created caricatured and distorted images.
Weegee created distortions of a wide range of subjects; celebrities, architecture, circus life, and nudes. "Jayne Mansfield Distortion" is a superb example of one of Weegee's images from this era.
Weegee's satirical images of celebrity pre-date Warhol's silkscreens by almost a decade. Similarly, many of the themes Weegee was exploring in these distortions, such as the cult of the artist, the cost of fame and the power/ubiquity of film stars, were expanded upon by Warhol in the 1960's. The artists knew each other and Weegee actually photographed Warhol on several occasions both straight on and as a distortion.
Weegee's photography can be found in scores of museums and private collections worldwide: the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles; Museum of Modern Art, New York; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; Museum of Modern Art, Oxford; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; International Center of Photography, New York and more.

The UConn men's basketball team played fast and aggressive in Friday's exhibition match against Southern Connecticut State, defeating the Owls 96-64 at Gampel Pavilion.
Freshman Brendan Adams got the surprise start and took full advantage, leading the Huskies with 17 points on 5-of-8 shooting with three assists and three rebounds in a team-high 29 minutes. After the game, head coach Dan Hurley said he was pleased with his team's performance, but stressed there's still plenty of room for improvement.
The Owls came out of the gate hot, jumping out to a 7-1 lead to open the game. UConn's defense looked far more organized after the initial run, but SCSU made a series of tough shots to maintain the lead. The Owls shot 85 percent from the field through the first five minutes, leading 20-14.
Jalen Adams, whose status was a game-time decision due to a suspension, checked in at the 13:17 mark in the first half. However, he was unusually quiet, not attempting a shot in his first four minutes of action.
The Huskies continued to climb their way back, wearing down the injury-riddled Owls. UConn finally seized the lead at 23-21 with 9:33 to play in the first half on a layup from Adams, his first made field goal of the game.
Graduate transfer Tarin Smith was the surprise of the first half, attacking the basket and repeatedly finishing in the face of tough defense and drawing fouls. Smith tallied 11 points, including a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line, in just eight minutes of action.
Redshirt sophomore Alterique Gilbert was impressive throughout the first half on both ends. With five minutes remaining in the half, Gilbert put any lingering injury concerns to bed, getting a steal in the open court and throwing down a dunk on the other end to extend the Huskies' lead to 38-30. Gilbert closed the half with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting with three steals.
UConn went on a 9-0 run in the final minutes to take a 52-40 lead into the break, shooting 50 percent from the field in the half. Senior Isaiah McLeod kept the Owls close, pouring in 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting including 4-for-4 from 3-point land.
After a competitive first, the Huskies flat-out dominated the second half, outscoring SCSU by a 44-22 margin. The highlight of the half came with 10:52 remaining, when senior Kwintin Williams threw down a vicious fast break slam to extend UConn's lead to 72-48.
After tallying 11 points in the first half, Christian Vital was mostly absent in the second. It was an up-and-down game the junior, who got the start. On the bright side, Vital stuffed the stat sheet, notching 11 points, three assists, four rebounds and three steals in 21 minutes of play.
Vital also, however, picked up a technical foul in the second half and missed a wide-open dunk in the first, neither of which hurt UConn much in the end, but neither will sit too well in Hurley's mind either.
The Adams duo carried the scoring load in the second half, combining for 21 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Jalen finished with 16 points, one point behind Brendan, who followed Hurley from URI to UConn, and seized the opportunity of the unexpected minutes.
It was the Huskies' defense that really propelled the team to victory, recording 13 steals and generating 21 points off turnovers, wearing down SCSU on the break. UConn rolled the rest of the way en route to a 96-64 final.
The Huskies will look to keep up the defensive activity in their season opener on Thursday against Morehead State at Gampel.

The portrait above represents Robert Fulton, an American engineer and inventor who worked closely with William Pitt in 1804 in relation to the development of torpedo warfare. Unfortunately, after Pitt's death the contract with the British Navy failed, and consequently the American Civil War was the first time torpedo submarines were deployed in war. Pitt witnessed a test of Fulton's torpedo in person at Deal, Kent, in October 1804 (See Ehrman, J. (1996) The Younger Pitt, Volume 3, Chapter XIX, p. 707).

What you will visit is the renovated version of the 7th century temple. The original temple was destroyed by the Portuguese in 1566 and was restored in the same century. Similar to most temples in South India, its roof is a depiction of a particular time in the life of the idols within. In this case, the temple is in reverence of Lord Shiva and his wife, Goddess Parvati. They're also known as Kapaleeshwarar and Karpagambal amongst the locals. With each passing year, the area around the temple developed as a religious one. It gets its name — Mylapore meaning "peacocks' town" — after the legend that an angry Lord Shiva had turned Parvati into a peacock, agreeing to return her to her human form only if she apologised to him at the spot of the temple. Today there are numerous shrines with different Gods here, of which Kapaleeshwarar and Karpagambal hold most importance. Within the premises are also a peacock and a peahen to depict the worshipped pair. It is sad to see these beautiful birds caged in mimicry of mythological tales.
The 3km sandy stretch is Chennai's only beach. It gets crowded in the evenings with vendors of street food, raw fish, toys, trinkets and other such items. You may even get a chance to see a leashed monkey dance to drum beats. Locals, most from the fisherman community, playing cricket and flying kites are friendly to approaching visitors. The only time the beach isn't crowded is during the afternoons, and that's when you should avoid the seashore the most or risk getting a nasty sunburn. It is best to curb your temptation to take a dip in the ocean in a swimsuit as it may be scandalous to the locals, especially if its a lady swimmer. In fact, its strong unpredictable currents beg you not to venture further than knee-deep depths. On the off-chance you do decide to swim, visit the other end, away from the lighthouse, around sunrise. This is also when you can enjoy peace and quiet.
The Madras Lighthouse, India's only one within city limits is here. The reason behind it's hype is lost on me. Its meteorological department is open to visitors. This is the only lighthouse in India with a lift — it's only claim to fame.
This is where you can visit the graves of soldiers who gave up their lives during the Second World War. It was built in 1952 and has 856 graves of servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives at the time. It's not just family and friends, but many tourists who know of the lawn-cemetery make a trip to pay their respects.
Walk towards the end of the cemetery to the Madras 1914-1918 Memorial. This is in remembrance of the First World War soldiers. However, unlike the cemetery, it doesn't have buried bodies, but just nameplates acknowledging those lost to war.

If possession is nine tenths of the law, then attitude is nine tenths of the battle when it comes to tackling your New Year's resolutions – and anything else life throws your way! If you want to be UNSTOPPABLE, a force to be reckoned with, whether it's in the gym, in your place of work, at school, or otherwise, having the right attitude is essential. Think of someone that you would characterize as being unstoppable. We're willing to bet that one of the first things you would note about them is an amazing attitude!
But we said that attitude is nine tenths of the battle, so what is the other tenth? A combination of all of these things below. If you plan to be unstoppable in the coming year, keep reading for nine tips to help get you there!
Ask permission later. Rather than analyzing and thinking, just act. Trust your senses, and trust in yourself to do what you instinctively feel you should. Oprah Winfrey nailed it when she said, "Every right decision I have ever made has come from my gut. Every wrong decision I've made was the result of me not listening to the greater voice of myself." Being unstoppable requires you to be bold, confident, and act on your gut instincts.
Even after you achieve a goal, you're not content to sit back and watch life go by. In fact, it's not as much about the goal as it is about the climb to see how far you can push yourself. In order to be unstoppable, you must have a drive that never ceases. You must never become complacent, or lazy.
One study showed that 70 percent of U.S. employees hate their jobs and only one in three Americans report being happy. Relentless and unstoppable people purge everything from their life they hate.
Have the self-respect and confidence to live life on your terms. When something isn't right in your life, change it!
Most people stay close to the ground where it's safe. If they fall, it won't hurt too much. But when you choose to fly high, the fall may kill you. You have to be okay with that. There are lessons to be learned and motivation to be found in failure. If something goes wrong - if you "fail" - you adjust and keep going.
Ordinary people seek entertainment. Unstoppable people seek education and learning. When you want to become the best at what you do, you never stop learning. You never stop improving and honing your skills and knowledge. Your unparalleled preparation is what gives you power.
You've heard it before: Running a marathon is far more mental than physical. A person's ability to run a marathon, or do anything hard, is more a reflection of his or her level of confidence than actual ability.
Your confidence level determines the size of challenges or goals you undertake, your likelihood of achieving those goals, and even how well you bounce back from failures. When you're confident, you don't care how many times you fail, you ARE going to succeed.
According to loads of psychology research, the most motivating goals are clearly defined and time-bound. Your goals can either be focused on your behaviors (e.g., I'm going to eat healthy all week) or on the outcomes you're seeking (e.g., I'm going to lose 10 pounds before my brother's wedding). Learn more about goal setting and making it work to your advantage here.
"Wherever you are, make sure you're there." -- Dan SullivanResults, rest, recovery. When you focus on results, rather than being busy, you're 100 percent on when you're working on the task at hand, and 100 percent off when you're not. This not only allows you to be present in the moment, but it allows you the needed time to rest and recover.
When you're unstoppable, you will make sure to get what you want. Everything you need to know is already within you. All you need to do is trust yourself and act. With a great attitude, mental fortitude, and sheer determination, you are UNSTOPPABLE!

2023-01-20 2023-01-20 4 mins readLeave a Comment on Nevers in Photos
By now it should not be news that I like cities on the water. This month I'm exploring cities on the Yonne and the Loire. Nevers is on the Loire, where two smaller rivers – the Nièvre and L'Éperon – flow into it, and where there the Canal Nivernais now flows as well.
Within a ten-minute walk from the train station, you start to see the stunning historic buildings of the town. The Palace of the Counts of Nevers and the Cathedral of Saint-Cyr-et-Sainte-Julitte are huge – and beautiful. There are other significant churches and medieval buildings that testify to an important past. It seems Roman buildings will remain covered up for centuries to come, as just a few pieces have turned up. All in all, I like the look of Nevers, as quite a well-built city. And yes, it has a theatre – although the programing seems to run along popular-entertainment lines.
Theatre of Nevers
Like Auxerre, Nevers has a free navette circling the downtown. I hopped on one day and ended up going round many times while talking with the friendly and very informative driver. While he told me about Nevers, and we talked about other towns I'm interested in, he strongly recommended I check out Vichy – so I think I shall.
Yesterday, the day of a national strike ruling out train travel, I toured on foot, and found a cluster of attractive restaurants and gourmet shops by the square Saint-Sebastien (which happens to be around Google Maps' arbitrarily-placed green marker in the header map image here).
A bar called Le Lord had its blackboard out front announcing Oeufs en meurette as the Plat du jour for 10.50. Sold. This is a Burgundian specialty of poached eggs in a wine sauce, and something I like a lot. It's different at every restaurant; in fact, it's different every time I make it, too, changing what stock base is used, and what additions of mushrooms, leeks, shallots, pearl onions, bacon/lardons one chooses. I ate upstairs, just the eggs and a glass of Bourgueil (red). It was tasty, though the eggs were overcooked. And then I gave into temptation and bought a few chocolates at the elegant shop – Au Négus – that you see showing babas, above.
After lunch, I toured the Ducal Palace and the Cathedral. The Palace turned out to have just a very small section open; I think the main part is used for the courts. The part one can tour has several modern and comfortable meeting rooms on the upper floors, so obviously the building is not maintained just as a relic. The lower level was modernized for exhibits, so the only tempting photos were the views out the upper windows. Happily, there was a model to help one imagine what the complex was like when Pierre de Courtenay had it built and fortified in 1190.
The cathedral was consecrated in the early 800s! Of course, it has been rebuilt over the centuries. The last re-building project was occasioned by an RAF blunder when bombing rail lines in 1944, with a couple of 1000-pound bombs causing great destruction. The restoration work looks outstanding to me: I hope Notre Dame will be as well restored.
wonder who!
Yolande de Bourgogne, late 1200s
Nevers is known for faïence, like Gien, Quimper and Lunéville. But Nevers claims to have been the origin of such production in France. Ludovico Gonzaga (the Ludovico who lived 1539–1595) became Duke of Nevers, and brought ceramic artisans from Faenza, Italy. Sadly, the museum dedicated to faïence here is closed until April because the rise of electric service makes running the space too costly this winter.

RandomCon – July 2010
May 9, 2010 at 4:09 pm	(From the Lantern, RandomCon)
I'll be visiting friends at RandomCon, in Phoenix, this summer, and I've submitted two games to run. The two games are (dates and times subject to change):
Event Time: Friday (7/9), 8 pm – 2 am
Game Title: A Surprise for General Gage
Game System: Colonial Gothic
Minimum Players: 3
Maximum Players: 6
Maturity: Serious tone; teen and up
It is 1775, and the flames of independence begin to catch in Colonial America. Boston, one of the world's greatest trading ports, is under siege. The Massachusetts Militia controls the land surrounding the city, while the Royal Navy controls the sea and British troops fill the streets.
Odd circumstances cause your strange band to be in place to lend a hand to the fledgling Revolution – or deal it a setback. From the Old Post Road to the streets of Boston, it's a small thing that might be heard 'round the world; a surprise for General Thomas Gage.
PCs provided; rules taught.
Event Time: Saturday (7/10), 8 pm – 2 am
Game Title: Carrion Hill
Game System: Dragon Age / AGE
By salty winds and odd stars, a dreadful recrudescence rises from the depths of buried nightmare in the vaults below the strange coastal city of Carrion Hill. Recently arrived from Freeport, your band of buccaneers and rogues are pulled into the nightmare which has a monster stalking the twisted alleys of the city, spreading panic before it and leaving destruction in its wake. Can you solve the mystery of Carrion Hill before it ends you?
PCs provides; rules taught.
About this adventure: Carrion Hill is originally an Pathfinder adventure by Richard Pett, and inspired from the popular writings of H. P. Lovecraft. This adventure adventure has been adapted to use Green Ronin's AGE / Dragon Age rules, and set in the world of Freeport. The stars are right, matey. Yarrrrr!

In keeping with the spirit of July 4th, I will be running a game of Colonial Gothic for the July 2010 Good Omens Mincon at EndGame. The game is set for a 10 am to 2 pm spot. Colonial Gothic is a supernatural historical horror roleplaying game set during the dawn of the American Revolution.

EndGame Minicon – 4/3/2010
April 11, 2010 at 4:39 pm	(EndGame MiniCon, From the Lantern)
I had two games at the recent EndGame MiniCon, in the 10 am and 3 pm spots. They were:
Scenario Name: The Five Elemental Apes of Ancient China
Game System: Heroquest
Variations: n/a
Power Level: n/a
Number of Players: 6 of 6 Seats Available (zero people on waitlist)
Characters provided? Yes, and finished at the table
Thousands of years ago, in an ancient China only somewhat like our own, the 1000 Provinces were ruled by Bandit Kings and worse. There, the Five Elemental Apes – raised from babies and trained by their Kindly Shaolin Master in elemental kung fu – deliver justice for the people, and righteous-ass-kicking to the wicked. By Fire, Water, Metal, Air and Wood; Fist, Foot, and … Tail!?
About this game: The Five Elemental Apes of Ancient China is an original scenario of kung fu, magic and mayhem in bandit ridden ancient fantasy China. The Heroquest rpg is one of the founding games in the story-game movement, and is newly rewritten and refined by Robin Laws, the original author.
Scenario Name: With the Band
Game System: Chronica Feudalis
Power Level: Rising Stars
Characters provided? Characters quickly generated at table.
"We're an American Band,
We're coming to your town,
We'll help you party it down!
We're an American Band"
Groupies, roadies, and record contracts. Sex, drugs, rock'n'roll; wine, women, and song. Rising stars – booking arenas and clubs, riding into town and committing musical mayhem.
All the perfect cover for fighting crime, solving mysteries, and investigating the supernatural. Crazed cultists, maniacal monsters, and savage slashers – the Band hunts them down and takes them out. Have fun, rock out – and kick supernatural ass!
About this Game: With the Band is a player-driven scenario in the theme of Scooby-Doo, Josie and the Pussycats, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. It uses (misappropriates might be the better term) the Chronica Feudalis rules engine to facilitate some fast and fun play.
Dundracon 2010: Rise from the Ashes
December 13, 2009 at 8:06 pm	(Dundracon, From the Lantern)
We hope to have the following event featured at the upcoming 2010 Dundarcon. This year, we are running a slightly smaller (14 player), more focused event – similar in style to our early DDC Scorpion games. Unique to this year's offering is a supernatural / Phoenix heavy base. Update (12/25/09): It appears we are will be scheduled for Saturday night at 6 pm.
Rise from the Ashes
The Dark God has been thrown back, leaving the world in ashes. The Kami have departed. There remain many places where the taint must be cleansed and the land purified.
The Phoenix must rise from the ashes.
Set in the early days of the Emerald Empire, this game will involve two table groups of Phoenix Clan players competing to reclaim "tainted" land for their families. The game will contain both cooperative as well as competitive elements between the groups. Players will have opportunity to customize the pre-generated characters to their preferences.
System: Samurai Tales (Fate)
Time: TBD (but hopefully Saturday night)
GM: Wayne Ogle and Brian Isikoff
PCs: All characters provided by GM and rules will be taught.
Power Level: Phoenix Clan
Variations: historical, non-canonical, Rokugan (L5R)
Program Book Description
Crops spoil and animals are stillborn. Screams and battle sounds echo from the woods. The land must be cleansed by the Phoenix, claimed by your family. The little girl watches.
Rise from the Ashes is tabletop game, with some elements of tabletop and strategic gaming. This is a two GM event. Rules will be taught as needed. Costumes are not required. The game is based on a non-canonical version of the Legends of the Five Rings setting, Rokugan – the Emerald Empire. The rules, Samurai Tales, are a variant of the Fate / Spirit of the Century games.
Rise from the Ashes is produced by Wayne Ogle and Brian Isikoff. Producers of previous successful convention events Test of Might, Lion at Autumn's Gate, The Eaters of Sin, and Gift of Earth, Wayne and Brian have returned with a new tale of the Emerald Empire.
A Gift of Earth is sponsored by EndGame and 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction podcast.
Updating the Lantern
November 1, 2009 at 10:19 pm	(From the Lantern)
It's been some time since the House of the Jade Lantern (HoJL) has been updated, outside of the occasional convention posting. With the loss of our long-time web host (and the move to Word Press), I'm viewing this as an opportunity to dust off, update, and repurpose the HoJL.
The House of the Jade Lantern has been around since at least 1998. The site was launched in the early days of the first edition of the Legends of the Five Rings rpg as a campaign site and general L5R support site. A static website, HoJL was one of the oldest L5R sites, and contemporaries with long-lost sites such as Shinjo Killbeggar's Palace and Scott Gearin's Phoenix Palace. Part of the reason HoJL as remained up has been out of tribute to such contemporaries.
However, I have also been running L5R – or more properly L5R-themed – games using Spirit of the Century, and now our own house Samurai Tales rpg rules – at local DundraCon and KublaCon conventions.
With the desire to continue to develop and produce successful fantasy samurai-themed rpg events, and retain the existing long time campaign documentation, the site will be retooled to support my Jade Lantern Productions efforts.
I look forward to future updates here and successful rpg events throughout the Bay Area California.
Thanks for your continued support!

KublaCon 2008: A Gift of Earth
March 17, 2008 at 12:52 am	(KublaCon)
A Gift of Earth
The Emperor's prize would greatly enhance the reputation of your small clan. But others seek the honor. Minor clans, great clans, even bureaucrats. To whom will the Emperor's favor go?
Opportunity and Danger are two sides of the same coin. The Emperor, the Great Hantei, has unvielded the presence of a new jade mine. Located in the Biwa Valley, this jade mine requires stewardship, most likely drawn from one of the minor clans with lands along the Valley. It would greatly enhance the prestige of your clan to win this stewardship, but others seek the honor. Minor clans, great clans, even bureaucrats. Who will gain the Emperor's favor?

DunDraCon 2008: Dark Heresy
December 10, 2007 at 1:08 am	(Dundracon)
Unfortunately, we will not be offering our usual "Big Event" for the L5R setting this year at DDC. However, I will be offering two sessions of the brand new, soon to be released Dark Heresy: Warhammer 40,000 roleplay. The extended write-ups are as follows:
What Rots from Within?
"There is Purity of Purpose in the Faith of the Just"
An Acolyte in the service of the Inquisition, your duty is to root out the foul stench of heresy, hunt the vile alien, and purge the twisted influence of Chaos. You will tread where others fear, venturing to distant planets, ancient space hulks and the unsavory depths of the hive cities.
Newly pressed into the service of the Emperors' Inquisition, you are charged to assist and protect a senior Inquisitorial agent in an investigation. You will travel by the ship the Brazen Sky to the barbarian world of Iocanthus, where you will meet Agent Nicodemus.
Dark Heresy: Roleplaying in the Grim Darkness of the 41st Millennium. Newly released from Black Industries, Dark Heresy is the much awaited game set in the dark, gothic future of Warhammer 40,000. Similar in tone and system to Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Dark Heresy features investigations, action, horror and combat in a dark future.
The game has theme and setting similarities to Call of Cthulhu, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, and Mutant Chronicles.
About the GM
An experienced local GM and co-host of the gaming podcast 2d6 Feet in a Random Direction, Brian has produced several successful DDC events, such as A Gift of Earth, Test of Might, Lion at Autumn's Gate, and The Eaters of Sin.
In the Wake of Malice
"The difference between heresy and treachery is ignorance"
Pursuing leads about the Brotherhood of Malice has led you the mining world of Sepheris Secundus. Before you can truly investigate, you must secure the goodwill of the Commissar of the Imperial Guard detachment which oversees the world – the man called Zurial.
If you're are DDC and enjoy the WH40k setting, I hope you'll consider one of the above games.
February 17, 2007 at 2:09 pm	(From the Lantern, KublaCon)
Confirmed for KublaCon, May 26, 2007:
Opportunity and Danger are two sides of the same coin. The Emperor, the Great Hantei, has unvielded the presence of a new silver mine. Located in the Biwa Valley, this silver mine requires stewardship, most likely drawn from one of the minor clans with lands along the Valley.

Reuters: Why Lawyers in Trouble Shun Treatment — at the Risk of Disbarment, by Jenna Greene
Jeff Grant, featured in this article, is a Member of our White Collar Support Group, that meets online on Zoom on Monday evenings.
Reprinted from Reuters.com, November 9, 2021
(Reuters) – The statistics have become depressingly familiar: Lawyers have significantly higher levels of problem drinking, substance abuse, anxiety and depression when compared with the general population.
The toll isn't just personal. Clients can suffer if their counsel is impaired. The question is, what to do about it? How should bar authorities respond when a lawyer's misconduct stems from addiction or mental health issues?
A new report by the New York State Bar Association on lawyer well-being dives into these questions and the feasibility of diversion programs for lawyers with substance abuse or mental health issues and who are facing disciplinary actions as a result.
These programs allow a court to stay an investigation or proceeding and direct the lawyer to an appropriate treatment and monitoring program. The report authors urge such options to be expanded to all disciplinary proceedings and applied "in the broadest possible fashion."
It sounds enlightened and compassionate — but making it work is likely to prove challenging.
New York has had a diversion program in place since 2016, but the report authors note that few lawyers have taken advantage of it.
The Albany-based Appellate Division, Third Department, for example, "has seen only a handful of diversion applications over the past five years, with only one such proceeding reaching successful fruition," according to the report.
Why don't more lawyers see this as a lifeline? After all, it could be a chance to enter recovery and halt a potentially ruinous disciplinary action. As the report authors noted, potential beneficiaries "include the impaired lawyer, the lawyer's family, partners, employees and clients, as well as the courts and the legal profession as a whole."
But lawyers tend to be reluctant to seek help out of a deep-rooted fear of professional consequences, Patrick Krill, an attorney who advises law firms on well-being matters, told me.
"The message from the beginning of the law school experience is 'Thou shalt not practice law while impaired,'" Krill said. "There's less discussion about the disease of addiction."
The result is a pervasive fear of being "perceived as impaired" that makes lawyers disinclined to let anyone know, he continued. "They keep it hidden and it grows and gets worse."
That's what happened to Jeff Grant.
"I was an alcoholic and a drug addict and living double life," Grant, who regained his New York law license earlier this year after losing it in 2002, told me. (I wrote previously about Grant here.)
There was no diversion program when his world as head of a small firm in Mamaroneck, New York, started to fall apart 20-odd years ago. I asked if he thought such program might have made a difference or prevented his downfall, which culminated in serving 14 months in federal prison for fraudulently obtaining a loan.
"I'd like to believe it would," he said. But at the same time, Grant also said that "nothing was going to get through to me before hitting bottom."
In the roughly 9,000 (yes, 9,000) recovery meetings he's attended in the last 19 years, he added, "I've never met anyone who was ready to get help before hitting bottom."
The report's authors — dozens of lawyers served on the task force that created the 167-page document — recognize this is an obstacle.
As is, the program "contemplates a lawyer ready, willing and able to seek treatment at the time when the disciplinary investigation or proceeding remains pending," they wrote. "All too often, the attorney's threshold acknowledgment of impairment or condition comes only after the disciplinary process has resolved disfavorably."
In other words, it happens when the lawyer hits bottom and it's too late for a diversion. (Though successful treatment can certainly help a lawyer get reinstated.)
Anecdotally, the report's authors said they found many attorneys prefer to "take their chances" with the outcome of a disciplinary investigation rather than admitting to a problem. After all, most professional misconduct complaints are ultimately dismissed or resolved via confidential letters of advisement or admonitions.
Asking for a diversion means lawyers "not only expose themselves to the vulnerability of raising a mental or physical health condition or impairment, but could also be subject to the rigors and requirements of a monitoring program for a period of a year or more. Further, while a diversion order is confidential, some attorneys may still be reluctant to have any order issued that addresses their underlying condition or impairment."
Both Krill and Grant, while supportive of robust diversion alternatives, also urge more attorney outreach and education about substance abuse and mental health issues starting in law school and continuing via mandatory CLE.
"If we as lawyers knew from day one if you start to experience mental health or substance abuse problems that there is track available to get help, and that it will insulate your (law) license somewhat from disciplinary problems," Krill said, "I think we'd see a lot more" lawyers seeking help.
