Pah. I'm already back down to 149.2, so hopefully there'll be a nice loss next week.
Welcome to all those who joined since! I needed to get my act together, I feel like this challenge it's going to be different. I have a different frame of thinking the last few weeks. I've a wedding in October and I bought a dress for my regular size I wear and it's too tight. So it's an incentive for me to fit into it comfortably by October. Hope the second week is going well.
Dreamer2012 - My week isn't going well, but it is all my fault. I am putting the wrong things into my body. I was down to 146 at WI, and now I am up to 148! I gained everything and more that I lost last week. I am in my calorie range today and will stay in it. I will do this! I need to be where I should be for myself and my family.
Today's my first real back on plan day. I've just gotta add a few more to this one and I'll be headed back in the right direction.
Hope everyone else is hanging in there!!
Well I got 242.2 this morning so I am hopeful the scale will finally take me into new territory.
I am back down to 146.5 today. I did well yesterday. I ate good and drank my water (which is a huge win for me). So I am hoping to continue to go in the right direction. Breakfast and lunch are already planned and done and I am working on dinner. I can do this!!
My WI are on Friday. I hope that is ok. I lost 2.1 lbs this week! I'll take it!
My goal for Challenge 4 will be to reach 128 lbs. That way I'll be at the weight I was before and I can concentrate on losing the extra weight during the final months of the year.
That's more like it. Glad to see everybody else having a good week, too!
6/July/2014: 211 = 1/4 done!
Awesome. I would love to lose some weight over the summer. It will be a challenge as I am injured so exercise is limited at the moment but I am determined to get to a healthy weight.
My target is to lose 14lbs.


It's less about product usage & more about product volume.
The main focus around the collective minimalism movement has been on the benefits that it can bring the individual. A clearer outlook, stronger relationships, and greater freedom both financially and mentally. Undoubtedly, these are welcome consequences of buying fewer things, however I believe that the environmental benefits are being overlooked.
In order for climate change to be slowed enough to prevent the cataclysmic consequences, lifestyles need to be changed in developed countries. Simply switching to a low energy light bulb and turning the tap off while you brush your teeth isn't going to cut it. Drastic changes need to be made in how we conduct our everyday lives.
Take for example, the fact that when measuring their carbon footprint, Apple estimate that only 17% is taken up by product usage, with 77% being made up of manufacturing. The lesson that should be taken from this is that if you want to minimize your personal carbon footprint, the key is not to use your electronic devices less, but just buy fewer of them.
This same principle can be applied to most products you buy, which have most likely been shipped from half way across the world, meaning that whilst the clothes you buy every other week from H&M don't emit carbon dioxide directly, indirectly your purchasing them is damaging the environment.
If further evidence is needed, take the greenhouse gases that are emitted by a transatlantic flight. According to research from Environmental Research Letters, avoiding one roundtrip transatlantic flight reduces your emissions by a greater amount than switching to an electric car and recycling combined.
To simplify, buying more things, with some exceptions (i.e. solar panels) will mean you are increasing your carbon footprint. Minimalism encourages buying less and being less compelled by the consumer culture that surrounds us. Therefore, even if it is not the main objective, minimalism helps to reduce our impact on the environment, and I believe this is an idea that should be further emphasized in the discussion of minimalism.

*Lindsay's Note: The following is a guest post from Fitness Expert, Jill Miller. She is a huge advocate of using Yoga Tune Up balls in workouts which is something that I find very interesting right now. Have you ever tried using a Yoga Tune Up ball? It feels amazing. I'm serious. Check out Jill's tips on Yoga Tune Up Ball exercises for surfers.
You know that gorgeous body of water you love surfing on? It's an essential treasure that connects us to so much – including the rest of the world. Our bodies also have an "ocean" – a connector – and it's called fascia tissue which is a thin sheath of fibrous, connective tissue.
Now you might ask, what exactly is fascia and why does it matter to me? I'm going to tell you, because I've seen thousands of lives transformed after developing a newfound respect for fascia – the ubiquitous living seam system in our bodies that threads our tissues together. In its optimal state, fascia is stretchy and flexible; but often times, from inactivity or injury, the tissue sticks together and causes major discomfort, which ultimately, can keep you off your board for long stretches of time.
Surfing is a sport like no other. Not only do you need a strong, balanced body, you need a nimble one too. Just one unexpected swell and you're slammed off-kilter.
To make sure that doesn't happen, practice the following techniques from my latest book, The Roll Model, to help you take the waves 'by the balls', protect your fascia (and the muscles within it) and continue to have incredible rides – pain free.
In doing these exercises, you can either use my Therapy Balls, which were perfectly designed by me to massage your fascia and work out all the important nooks and crannies unlike anything else previously created; or a tennis ball can probably get the job done, too, for the time being.
Knees should be bent with feet on the floor and the rest of your body relaxes as if floating on a wave.
Sit down and place your right thigh on top of 2 Yoga Tune Up® Therapy Balls.
Spend 2-5 minutes per thigh.
TIP: Slow and steady wins the race here, move at a snail's pace.
What about you? Have you ever tried using Yoga Tune Up balls? What did you think? Post in the comments and let us know.
Surfing is a sport like no other. You need a strong, balanced, and nimble body. Check out these yoga tune up exercises for surfers by Jill Miller.
These balls look awesome! I went to a MELT class a long time ago and they used balls like this. As someone suffering from a back injury, I may need to incorporate these into my workout!


A Scottish Golf Wilderness, Western Isles awaits. In recent years the golf world has started to witness a subtle shift to ever more remote locations as we push the frontiers of the possible. Bandon Dunes, Cabot Links, and Barnbougle Dunes are just three stunning examples. Scotland is no exception and at Faraway Fairways we're calling this 'Wilderness Golf', and Scotland, despite not having the area of Canada or Australia, does have the landscape.We think it's the next big frontier.
The Western Isles of Scotland are our Shangri-La. They're isolated, with wild Atlantic facing landscapes of rugged, bleak, and inspiring beauty. Cruising the Western Isles is the ultimate 'chill out' experience for the golfer who wants to travel off the beaten track in a quest for solace and sanctuary. It's a spiritual calling to the purists who treasure not ticking off bucket lists, but the ethereal game itself. The pure collision of landscape, course, and person. So explore the spirit of Scotland in a rich tapestry of history and culture, and seek out the true enduring soul of golf in these remote and largely untouched communities on the periphery of the game's spiritual homeland.
Capturing the essence of Scottish golf, and just what it means is never easy. At Faraway Fairways we're grateful to US golf writer George Peper, who addressing the Fife Golf Association delivered an ode that we can't improve on.
IMPORTANT NOTE - As golfers, we play outdoors and accept a weather risk. As exploring travellers we also accept potential disruption when visiting less well served wilderness areas. There are more 'moving parts' to this tour than any other that Faraway Fairways offer. It is definitely possible to self-drive, but we do advise you consider an accompanying guide to assist in-situ, provided you retain an understanding that there could be things over which even they have no control! This solution is what we describe as "escorted part-drive"
Many of you will have had a long journey to get to Scotland. To get to the Highlands you'll likely have had a 3-4 hour road trip on top. We should arrive in the Inverness/ Dornoch area mid afternoon. By now some of you will simply want to get checked-in and rest. Fair enough. Some of you however could be buzzing and eager to get going.
Despite not necessarily fitting the spirit of this tour (it's not really 'wilderness'), Faraway Fairways can't pretend that Castle Stuart, now regularly playing host to the Scottish Open, and its global top-100 ranking, is difficult to ignore. Castle Stuart sits on a northerly latitude. In the spring and summer it stays light, late. If deciding to play in the late afternoon you would stand a good chance of being able to slip a twilight round in. OK, you might be travelling onto Dornoch in half light or darkness, but if you're 'up for it', we can do it.
Raw, bleak, yet tranquil with an intoxicating solitude. Brora is as far north as we go. In the summer Arctic terns swoop acrobatically over the beach holes. They're adopted on the club crest. This is a traditional out and back nine hugging the north sea. The waves are seemingly an omni present companion. You will enjoy the mixture of bent grass and beach sand, burn water and gorse in glorious yellow bloom. Brora is a scenic course but the absence of dunes means that it's perhaps the relationship with the sea and the wind that you'll enjoy most! (or 'remember' shall we say?). We've scratched around for a single word to describe Brora and we think it's 'spiritual'. Few courses get quite so close as Brora.
Durness GC members supply the club with their photographic images.
We schedule Glencruitten as a relaxing evening round at the end of an interesting day.

Agile frog Facts
Agile frog belongs to the family of true frogs. It can be found in north, central and southern parts of Europe. Agile frog inhabits swampy meadows and forests. It usually resides in deciduous forests which provide some source of water, but it can also survive in warm, dry forests. Pollution of the water with pesticides, habitat loss (due to urbanization and accelerated development of agriculture) and introduction of new species (which hunt and eat agile frogs) led to drastic reduction in the number of agile frogs in the wild. Agile frog is listed as endangered in Spain.
Interesting Agile frog Facts:
Agile frog can reach 2 to 3.5 inches in length. Females are larger than males.
Agile frog has light brown, reddish-brown or grey-brown back. Dark brown triangular-shaped markings stretch from the temple to the eardrum. Hind legs are covered with dark bands. Bottom side of the body is white in color. Males change color of the body into dark brown during the breeding season.
Agile frog has pointed snout, thin body and long hind legs with webbed feet. Eyes have horizontal pupils. One third of iris (above pupils) is golden, and remaining two thirds are black colored.
Agile frog is active in the morning and early in the evening.
Agile frog is a carnivore (meat-eater). Its diet is based on earthworms, flies and beetles. Millipedes, centipedes and spiders are occasionally on the menu.
Agile frog can travel distance of 6.5 feet in a single leap (thanks to its long legs) when it needs to escape from predators.
Major predators of tadpoles are ducks and fish, while cats hunt and eat adult agile frogs.
Agile frog hides under the leaves, logs and rocks during the dry periods of year.
Agile frogs hibernates from September-October to January-March.
Breeding season of agile frog usually takes place during the first three weeks of March. In the case that weather conditions are unfavorable, agile frogs delay breeding until April.
Males often gather in groups on the surface of the water and produce quiet "rog, rog, rog" calls to attract females.
Calls usually last 12 seconds. Agile frogs are also able to produce them under the water.
Female lays 450 to 1.800 eggs covered with protective, gelatinous layer. They are deposited in the shallow pools of water during the night. Eggs remain attached to the stems or roots of various aquatic plants on a depth of 2 to 16 inches until they hatch. Unlike other frogs, agile frogs divide their eggs in several clumps.
Tadpoles emerge from the eggs usually 2.5 months later. They transform into froglets (young frogs) after 2 to 4 months. Young agile frogs grow quickly and reach sexual maturity during the second year of life.
Agile frogs can survive up to 7 years in the wild.

NLL Draft: Top 10 picks all from north of the border
Posted By Tracey Happold-Brown on September 23, 2019
First overall draft pick Tyson Gibson with his proud mom and dad. NLL Draft, September 17, 2019. (Photo credit: Laura Kupsey)
The NLL's growth in the United States continued this week with the 2019 draft at Xfinity Live in Philadelphia. It was the second consecutive draft held in the city of the league's headquarters, boosted with the return of the Wings in 2018.
Prior to 2018, the draft had been held at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre in Oakville, with a large number of draftees hailing from the Canadian province of Ontario. Though the NLL has been focusing on drawing more American field players to the box game, the number of early draftees still remained largely Canadian. The top 10 picks were all from north of the border.
The 2019 draft opened with an announcement that the league's first annual NLL Players Business Summit was created with insight from several players who were there signing autographs this included Kevin Crowley who plays for the Philadelphia Wings. The draft got underway after the announcement.
The NLL generally favours announcing what school their draftees graduated from, as many players, even though they hail from Canada, attend US colleges to play lacrosse. This helps American fans learn more about their teams' new players, but Canadian fans are likely more familiar with the player's minor or summer teams.
The New York Riptide had the first pick in the draft. They chose Tyson Gibson who is a right hander from Robert Morris. The Canadian forward started all of his games during one season and was successful in leading the college. He is also coming off his sophomore season with the WLA's Victoria Shamrocks, leading them in scoring during the Mann Cup. Gibson, whose father Darryl is a coach with the Black Wolves, spent five years playing for the Jr. A Brampton Excelsiors, not far from his hometown of Maple, Ontario.
The Rochester Knighthawks had the second pick. They selected Port Coquitlam, British Columbia native Ryland Rees from Stony Brook University. Rees is a right handed transition player who was named a first team All America player. He represented Canada at the 2018 World Championships in Netanya and this summer played his first season of senior lacrosse with the WLA's Burnaby Lakers.
New England had the third pick of the night because of the trade that allowed Kevin Crowley to return to Philadelphia. The Black Wolves went with Andrew Kew who played at Tampa. Kew is a left handed forward who won several honours in college and also lit up the MSL this year with his hometown Oakville Rock, scoring 29 goals in 14 games. Kew spent his junior career with the Burlington Chiefs before a trade to powerhouse Mimico in his final season.
The fourth pick went to the Saskatchewan Rush. The organization went with left handed defender Holden Garlent, who played three years at Canisius before declaring early for this draft. Garlent caused multiple turnovers at Canisius, where he was twice named to the All-MAAC first team. The Thorold, Ontario product played minor lacrosse for the St. Catharines Athletics before finishing his career with the Six Nations Arrows. He joined the Brooklin Lacrosse Club in 2018 and has had two solid summers with the MSL club.
Clarke Petterson from Cornell was drafted fifth, by the Halifax Thunderbirds. Petterson, who also played for Brodie Merrill at the Hill Academy in Vaughn, is another Canadian who looks to have an immediate impact on his team when he joins Halifax as a left handed defender. Petterson, from Mimico, played five years of junior for the Brampton Excelsiors and had a great rookie MSL season in 2019 with the big club.
Colorado had its first pick at number six. They selected another Mimico boy, Warren Jeffrey, who played with Petterson in Brampton this summer, though he spent most of his junior career with the hometown Mountaineers where he won the award as top defensive player. Jeffrey spent his college career at Vermont, where he caused 21 turnovers in his junior season (third most in a single season at the school). At 6-3, he is one of the tallest guys to be drafted.
The Calgary Roughnecks selected Liam LeClair with the seventh pick. Although he doesn't play anymore, LeClair can probably rely on older brother Kellen to give him some advice on what lacrosse is like at a higher level. The younger LeClair is a left handed defender from Windsor, Ontario who should provide some solid and physical play for the Roughnecks. He is another top defensive player winner at the junior A level where he plays for the Six Nations Arrows, and has played a handful of games as a call up for the MSL's Chiefs.
Calgary also had the eighth pick. They asked for a five minute extension before selecting Haiden Dickson after getting the slot from San Diego. Dickson is a forward from Delta, B.C. who declared early for the draft. In 2018 he helped Canada to a World Junior gold medal with six points in three games. This summer he finished second in the BCJALL with 50 goals in 20 games.
Justin Robinson was drafted at number nine for the Saskatchewan Rush. Robinson is a lefty transition player from Pickering, Ontario, who spent five seasons of junior A with Brampton before his MSL rookie season this summer in Brooklin. He declared early for the draft after two years at Robert Morris where he played as a midfielder. Robinson should easily adjust to the back-and-forth play that appeared to cause some issues for the Rush last season.
Tyson Bomberry went as the tenth pick to the New York Riptide. He can cause turnovers, scoop up ground balls and he stayed healthy at Syracuse where he was a team captain and a USILA Scholar All-American. He's spent his whole career with his hometown lacrosse program in Six Nations, where he won a Founders Cup and three Mintos before graduating the MSL's Chiefs. His international play with the Iroquois Nationals has given him a lot of experience and he should fit right in to the Riptide's plan.
The biggest surprise of the draft seemed to be the lack of defenders and goalies picked. With high scoring games and powerful attack plans last season, it seemed that a lot of teams needed goalies and defenders. However, the first 10 picks did not include any goalies – it took until number 42 to get to a goalie and it was Saskatchewan who picked up Cameron Dunkerley from the Victoria Jr. Shamrocks I'm the third round. Landon Kells from the Peterborough Jr. Lakers went a few picks later to the Calgary Roughnecks at 46.
Another gamble is Pat Spencer's selection at 36 by the Philadelphia Wings. Has Spencer shown any interest in box lacrosse? He's playing basketball this season anyway but if someone can convince him to give the box game a try in the future it'll be Wings' GM Paul Day.
Although there are strong players who were drafted, sometimes matches seem better on paper. It will be interesting to see how these new guys mix with the dynamic personalities already in the National Lacrosse League. It will be interesting to see who can rise to the top with the best players in the world.

lalastar asked in Politics & GovernmentOther - Politics & Government · 8 years ago
Is this a good introudcution for a compare/contrast on gun control or is it too long?
One of the most sensitive and heated debate in politics is about gun control. Gun control is the regulation of the selling, owning, and use of guns based upon the definition given by the Merriam- Webster dictionary. It all started with the ratification of the Second Amendment In 1791 that stated "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." That has to be the most debated quote interpretational wise in the U.S government. In 1822 the case Bliss V. Commonwealth individual rights are bought into place by ruling that a man had the right to carry a concealed weapon by Commonwealth constitution "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the state, shall not be questioned". After the ruling the Supreme court ruled the law unconstitutional and void. In 156 in the case Dred Scott v. Sandform individual rights are brought into question again, but with slaves. The court ruled that slaves full rights of American Citizenship would include the right "to keep and carry arms wherever they went". In 1934 The national Firearms Act was a result of a violent issue in the time. The Act was to put a tax excise on "gangster weapons". In 1934 the Federal Firearms Act requires a licensed for gun dealers and said that guns could not be gave to people convicted of certain crimes. In 1968 with the assassination of John F. Kennedy brought upon stricter regulation for dealers and prohibited firearms access to convicted felons, drug users, and the mentally incompetent. In 1994 "Brandy aCT included waiting periods and background checks for handguns and banned rifles labeled as " assault weapons". In 2004 that Act expired and was not renewed. In the District V. Heller case the supreme court ruled that the Second Amendment extended the right to bear arms to individuals and marked handguns bans in Washington as unconstitutional. In 2010 the Supreme Court extended the District V. Heller decision to all states in the case of Mcdonald v. Chicago where the Supreme court also overturned a handgun law ban. The debate have quieted in the past years, but with a movie and mall shooting and the infamous school shooting in Colorado have roused the debate back in full- swing.
The debate is sweeping the country. Anti- gun control advocates and pro-gun control both debate over citizens' rights and the Second Amendment. The contrasting sides take different stances on reducing crimes and suicide rated based on gun control. Both anti-gun and pro-gun advocates both argue over the types of guns that should be allowed including semi-automatic guns.

Though I agree that there are several grammatical problems, I need to know something about the format your teacher wants. Are you limited to two paragraphs? If so, I'd cut it down to no more than three or four court cases. If not, you seriously need to break that down into at least three paragraphs, I mean the long paragraph.

Donald Trump Has Spent A Lot Of Time Battling Drag Queens
The 2016 nominee honed his fighting skills against organizers of Miss Gay Universe pageants.
By Sam Stein
Long before he stared down Hillary Clinton in a high-stakes presidential campaign; before he bested 16 other Republicans for the party's nomination; before he needled President Barack Obama with conspiracies about his birth; before he looked Gary Busey in the eyes and uttered those two cold words -- "you're fired" -- before he clotheslined Vince McMahon on "Wrestlemania" and jilted Jesse "The Body" Ventura in a proposed run as a "Reform Party" presidential contender, Donald Trump squared off against another foe altogether: drag queens.
The disputes began shortly after Trump purchased the Miss Universe Pageant in the mid-1990s. The real estate tycoon was keen on transforming the relatively stodgy affair into something, well, glitzier, more Trump-like. And part of his plan involved stamping out any potential imposters, including many drag shows that were using the "Miss Universe" name.
Within a few years, Trump and his team of lawyers went to work, targeting multiple "Miss Gay Universe Pageants" under the auspice of a trademark violation.
In 1998, Trump's legal team ordered promoters of one such drag queen forum -- alternatively described in press accounts as a "gay gala" -- to stop promoting their "Miss Gay Universe Pageant." Though the event had been taking place in Atlanta for 27 years -- long before Trump had emerged on this particular scene -- the organizers agreed to abandon the title.
"[I]t is very sad that after 27 long years the straight community could come in and tell you that you could not use a word or words in Webster's Dictionary," they said, according to the New York Post.
In 2000, it happened again, this time in Texas. Once more, Trump and his team fought a trademark application from a Miss Gay Universe pageant organizer, claiming that viewers might think Trump had authorized the Lone Star State drag show.
"I thought everyone in this day and age knew the difference between a drag queen and a real woman," Francis Alvarez, a treasurer for that Miss Gay Universe pageant, told LA Weekly in response. "It's a contest for drag queens and not for women."
Trump reportedly offered a $90,000 settlement, which Alvarez balked at. But it's not clear what happened in the case: The Huffington Post could not reach Alvarez, and Trump's campaign didn't return a request for comment. Either way, the end result didn't dissuade other Miss Gay Universe pageant organizes from plowing ahead with the name.
In 2003, Trump's attorneys were once again threatening a lawsuit against organizers trying to trademark "Miss Gay Universe." This time, Ben Kuhns, an interior designer from Buffalo who performed under the name "Lauren Fox," was on the receiving end. The argument was identical: Trump insisted the drag affair would confuse fans, which Kuhns found preposterous.
"We'll be the ones with bigger hair, bigger boobs and three-times-bigger shoes," he told The Advocate.
A year later, there was no apparent resolution. Kuhns was deluged with paperwork but seemed to enjoy the attention. "They're little anorexic girls and we're 6-foot drag queens with more talent and more hair," he said, according to the New York Post. Kuhns also pledged that he would make a reality television show to shine a light on his plight.
Attempts to track Kuhns down were ultimately unsuccessful. But if the internet is any guide, it seems that he ultimately was bested by Trump as well. There is no evidence of any recent involvement in a Miss Gay Universe pageant.
They're little anorexic girls and we're 6-foot drag queens with more talent and more hair. Ben Kuhns, on the difference between Miss Universe and Miss Gay Universe.
There are Miss Gay Universe pageants still. But they're small affairs, and they appear to take place outside of the United States.
Trump, it turns out, had a solid case to argue.
University of Southern California law professor Dan Klerman argued as much to LA Weekly when Alvarez was the target, saying there was "reasonable likelihood" that there would be consumer confusion between Trump's show and the gay gala.
Reached by email Tuesday, Klerman stood by his past legal assessment. "I still believe what I am quoted as saying in that article. It was a plausible lawsuit," he wrote. "Now if you were to ask me my professional estimation of some other things Trump has done....."

Niantic has also said they tend to skew the odds in favor of people who have not completed an EX raid before.
So find your closest EX raid gym and start working! When waves of invites are sent out, everyone will get a notification at roughly the same time, so you'll know pretty quickly if you were part of this wave. If you weren't, keep playing and hopefully next time around you'll make it.
EX raids are scheduled, and each invite will have a gym location and time for the raid. It tends to skew toward timing that makes sense, such as the day and time you did a raid at that location but doesn't always match up perfectly.
When you get an EX raid pass and your date/time for the event, it's best to find your local Discord server and see if a group is forming. If not, it tends to be sufficient to just show up before the egg hatches and get ready to raid. There isn't much you need to know otherwise.
You can bring a friend as well! You can now give an invite to an Ultra Friend by tapping the EX raid pass in your items list, hitting invite, and selecting an applicable friend. They'll also give you extra balls and attack damage, so it's worth bringing someone even if you don't just want to be nice.
Often times EX raids have plenty of people, so you don't have to worry so much about being strong enough. However, it never hurts to be more prepared, and if you live in a more rural area, it may be essential.
Keep up on your counters and try to build an appropriate team. Remember that Deoxys is Psychic, so he's weak against Bug, Ghost, and Dark.
Deoxys knows Psychic, Electronic, and Normal moves, though it's generally wiser to optimize for offensive type effectiveness rather than defensive type effectiveness.
A few other honorable mentions are Latios, Latias, Alolan Muk, Drifblim, Banette, Absol, Groudon, or Mew.
Don't forget, Windy weather will boost Psychic Pokemon, making Deoxys a higher level (level 25) and stronger!
Fog weather will buff Dark/Ghost, and Clear/Sunny will buff Bug, so keep an eye out!
6% Catch Rate? No Problem!
Deoxys is not too tricky to catch, like other EX raid boss (or I guess... Mewtwo) Deoxys has a 6% base catch rate. That may sound low, but after all the multipliers stack up, it can be fairly easy to break a 30% catch rate in a single throw. This would require a curved great shot, golden razzberry, and a gold medal for Psychic Pokemon. If you get ten balls to use, you'll have roughly a 98-99% chance at catching Deoxys so long as you hit all of your throws. Of course, if you end up with more balls for owning the gym or bringing friends, you'll have even more room for the occasional mistake.
As per usual, line up your colored circle and be sure to wait until he attacks before throwing your ball! For more details on catching, check out my other article on generic Pokemon raid tips.
This is my latest catch, with 84% IV. Not bad, but not great either.
Before even thinking about appraisal or using an IV calculator, just check out Deoxys' CP on the catch screen. Its catch CP will reflect its IVs, so you already know in advance if it's a strong one or not. This may help you make decisions on how much time, effort, and golden razz berries you should throw at it.
In non-boosted weather, Deoxys catch CP will vary between 1485-1570. In boosted weather, it will vary between 1857-1963. Breaking 1543 means your Deoxys will likely be above 90% IV!
Deoxys does have 4 total forms, but only Normal is currently available in Pokemon Go.
The Deoxys EX raid is overall not too difficult, and if caught, Deoxys is a fairly powerful Psychic Pokemon. However, I'm more interested in seeing the 4 Deoxys forms when they are released. At the moment it's unclear how Niantic will release them, but perhaps it will be as simple as each EX raid wave will feature a form and so you'll need to get at least four invites to catch them all. Based on the stats, the normal form is arguably the best, but other forms will likely have their purpose (I'm looking at you attack form).

Kody Brown and his family have decided to make a big move, but not back to Utah.
It turns out that the stars of "Sister Wives" have decided to make a big move. When the family left Utah for Las Vegas, that was hard on them, but now they are moving once again. People shared the details about what is going on with the family and what made them decide to make this move.
It turns out that the Brown family is actually moving to Flagstaff, Arizona. They actually talked to People about the big move. They have always talked about moving back to Utah, but this still isn't a great idea with the polygamy laws that are still a big issue there.
The Brown family gave a statement saying, "As much as we've loved making our home and memories here in Las Vegas, we are excited to embark on a new adventure in Flagstaff, Arizona! We are looking forwards to cooler temperatures, the mountain air, scenic views and the slower lifestyle of Flagstaff." So far, they haven't shared the exact reason they decided to move here. It will be interesting to see if it was for a job or if there was another reason. You know that the Brown family will keep this quiet until the new season of the show starts and they can reveal it all to the fans.
The thing is they even had their homes in Las Vegas built special, but they will be leaving those behind. It sounds like all four wives are moving with Kody too. There have rumors here and there that Meri Brown was going to leave Kody and their lifestyle behind, but reports are that the entire family is moving. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out on the show.
In Touch Weekly shared a while back that Meri was leaving Kody Brown and even had a new man. If there is any truth to these rumors, then the Brown family isn't saying a word and they must have worked things out seeing that Meri plans to make this big move right along with everyone else.
It is being reported that a new season of "Sister Wives" will be airing next year on TLC. It should be early in the year, considering they do a new season in January often. This will show all about their new move and probably Aspyn Brown's wedding as well.
Are you shocked to hear that the Brown family is moving once again? Hopefully, "Sister Wives" cameras will follow them around for all of it.
The fans can't wait to see it and how it all plays out.


In the good old days, the early 1970s when I was a nursing assistant in the surgery ward at General Hospital in downtown Minneapolis, they would have already drilled a hole into the Freyne skull [at right, as pictured yesterday]: "exploratory surgery" we called it.
General was a hot "teaching" hospital. Five color-coded surgery teams made up of seasoned five-year veterans in charge, all the way down to rookie interns fresh out of medical school. It was like one big M.A.S.H. unit, and several of the teaching pros with the scalpels were Vietnam vets.
Rich learning ground for this kid.
Risky business, too, but a lot of brain surgery was detective work. Finding out what caused what happened to happen. Unfortunately, the search for the answer inside a living brain often did its own damage, including speech or vision loss, paralysis, or death itself.
"Exploratory surgery" appears to be pretty much a thing of the past these days. Instead, in the computer age, they go high-tech with all kinds of scans. Magnetic Resonance Imaging, or MRI, is the hot ticket these days. So they slid me on my back into the big MRI tube, put ear plugs in my ears, and I held still with my head in a cage for 45 minutes during lunchtime Wednesday while the MRI machine shot the Freyne Brain in three-dimensional imagery.
An hour later, I had an appointment with Dr. Harold Morris the neurologist [left]. He got the first look at the high-tech images and liked what he saw.
The white, fuzzy area in the left temporal lobe around the speech/language center [right side in the MRI picture], was darker and not as fuzzy/light. Looks a whole lot more like the right temporal lobe, as it should.
Clearly, even the Freyne Eye can see that the Freyne Brain isn't looking any worse.
Another good sign, says he.
The neurosurgeon and radiologist-types will take a peek, as well. But, hey, the fact that Dr. Morris doesn't want to see me again for six months is a damn good sign, eh?
P.S. Do have a surprise infection in the left hand - where I got the chemo two-times back. Red, swollen and sore. Doc Morris persuaded me to stop by oncology to have 'em take a peek.
Couple of the Mary Fanny oncology nurses looked at it, recognized an infection right away and gave me a script for Keflex, an antibiotic.
Keeping an eye on it this morning.
No problem with the feet.


Q. Hi! What is your name and what do you do?
A. Howdy. I'm Matthew Reiswig and I'm a UX Designer at Pivotal.
Q. What kind of people do you mentor?
Q. Why do you mentor?
A. It feels good to help people, and it gives me a different path for growth.
Q. How do you find people to mentor? Or do they find you?
A. Usually, it's through word-of-mouth. Sometimes, it's connections made through my teaching opportunities or speaking engagements.
Q. How do you usually communicate with your mentee?
A. In-person meetings and Slack…occasionally email. For me, those work best. It's important to find something that works best for both of you.
Q. How do you find the time to schedule in mentees?
A. I make the time because I value mentorship equally with the other tasks in my day—it's important. And, I'm lucky to have a job where I have the flexibility and the autonomy to do so freely. I acknowledge that not everyone has that.
Q. Tell me about the last time you mentored someone.
A. Amanda and I have been working together for about 6 months—she was a student of mine earlier this year. We speak or meet once or twice a month but not on a schedule. Lately, she's been trying to upskill and find a new position, so we've been discussing emerging toolsets, skill development, and career paths. It's a great mentor relationship with an up-and-coming UX talent.
Q. What, in your opinion, makes a mentoring relationship successful and why?
A. I've seen people flame out of mentoring because they think it's one-way career heroics. What makes a mentoring relationship successful is a mentor who sees it as a two-way opportunity for collaboration and learning. If you do that, you learn from each other and end up making a new colleague and friend.
Q. What, in your opinion, causes some mentoring relationships fail and why?
A. Heroism and lack of commitment. If a mentor communicates in a way that portrays their career choices as infallible or lucky, a mentee can quickly lose hope. If a mentee worships the ground the mentor walks on, the relationship is doomed from the beginning. For a good mentor relationship to thrive, both parties have to truly believe that positive and achievable growth can realistically occur through their interaction—heroics of any kind are the antithesis to that. Lack of commitment is also a (quiet) killer. One of you misses an appointment. One of you doesn't prepare properly. One of you is late to a meeting. Call it respect, call it preparation, call it punctuality—I call it commitment. And when one or both of you lacks that, the relationship dies.
Q. Have you had a mentoring relationship you considered a failure? Tell me about it.
A. Yes. I've had a few mentees that just didn't make the commitment needed to be a good colleague. I found that they often were unprepared and/or late. They used me like a career therapist who was there only to listen to them complain—about "the job market," or their bosses, or their lack of resources. Does everyone have a bad day? Yes. But any good relationship has balance and commitment.
Q. What is the hardest part of being a mentor? Why?
A. Not being able to "make it happen" for them. Sometimes, people who are extremely talented and are doing all the right things just can't get to the next level. The timing is off, the market is tight, the company takes a turn…whatever it is, it just doesn't come together. That's a difficult thing to watch.
Q. What is the best part? Why?
A. When you unexpectedly catch them just being a good colleague. I've caught my mentees posting amazing advice in an industry Slack channel. I've run into them at an event I forgot I encouraged them to go to. I've heard about their promotion long after we've parted ways. It's such a cool experience to know you may have had the slightest positive influence toward making that happen.
Thanks for making this happen, Matt.


Prayer, as taught in the Gospels, is communication between something higher and something lower. There are requirements we must meet to open a communication with something higher. It takes specific knowledge and specific effort.


the meaning of "al masjid al haram"
The Quranic evidence weighs the evidence in favour of SJD meaning "to submit/honour/pay respect", "masjid" meaning "time of SJD", "al masjid al haram" meaning "the inviolable time of SJD" (i.e. the term referring to the time-period/event of the inviolable months). This understanding provides a logical, coherent and practical answer throughout, and helps answer some of the most difficult questions in Quran exegesis (e.g. 17:1-8, 17:60, 2:142-150).
You will have to read the article to perhaps understand the conclusions.
Any feedback, especially corrections, welcome.

If there's an important change in our industry, Basel is one of the first to be on-hand to learn what has changed." November 15, 2011"
""Basel is a Very dependable Manager." October 3, 2011"
""Basel has been exemplary to work with in that he is efficient, knowledgeable, caring, timely, experienced, and has panache in his field. My family and I have valued his diligence and attitude in accomplishing our family goal. Thank you Basel for all your help, and we'll continue to rely on your services for the future.
""Basel is a Professional who has his clients best interest at hand. He is very hard working and I am honored to know him. I have worked with him in the past and will continue to work with him in the future!
""As a broker owner for 10 years I dreamed to create a RE/MAX environment that would have all the amenities agents would ever need to grow and serve their clients. Appropriate space with the latest tools, conference rooms to relax with clients, a complete design center that will have your clients talking and referring others, a training room with all the latest technology and a broker owner who believes in training so much, he leads the way.
Basel Tarabein has built this dream RE/MAX facility at 3215 W Algonquin Road in Rolling Meadows and he has built a RE/MAX office that literally 1000's of broker Owners have dreamed to do, but have not.
What I am most impressed about Basel Terabein; is that he built all of this by true passion and love. Passion to serve and love for people. He has done this not for himself, but for the agents and their clients who call RE/MAX at Home, "Home". Congratulations and GOD Bless RE/MAX at HOME!

His knowledge on technology and networking is fantastic and I have had the opportunity to not only serve him, but also learn from him.
We had the pleasure to photograph his office and thought we would share that virtual tour with you--take a look at our work and his great office.

Q: WPF - Configure custom event to trigger begin storyboard on user control I hope someone is able to assist here, either to advise how to fix what I have or to suggest a better way of achieving what I'm after.
I have a simple custom control on which I want to be able to start/stop/pause/resume an opacity animation.  I've looked at various solutions and figured that using EventTrigger with a custom RoutedEvent was the way forward. I can get the following to work with a standard event (eg MouseDown) but am unable to get my custom event to start the storyboard.
I tried raising the event in the constructor prior to doing it in a loaded event, but neither makes any difference.
I don't think it has any relevant impact but this is also being hosted in an ElementHost for winforms.
xaml:

        {
            RaiseEvent(new RoutedEventArgs(FraxCanvas.StartStoryboardEvent));
        }
    }

FraxCanvas:
    public class FraxCanvas : Canvas
    {
        public static readonly RoutedEvent StartStoryboardEvent = EventManager.RegisterRoutedEvent("OnStartStoryboard", RoutingStrategy.Tunnel, typeof(RoutedEventHandler), typeof(FraxCanvas));

        public event RoutedEventHandler OnStartStoryboard
        {
            add
            {
                this.AddHandler(StartStoryboardEvent, value);
            }

            remove
            {
                this.RemoveHandler(StartStoryboardEvent, value);
            }
        }
    }

A: Two issues.

*

*You are listening exclusively to EventTrigger.SourceName="fraxCanvas", but the event is raised somewhere else (parent UserControl).
EventTrigger.SourceName is a filter property, which allows to
exclusively handle a Routed Event of a specific element. If you don't set EventTrigger.SourceName,
the trigger will handle the specified event, no matter the
source.

*The Routed Event will never reach the FraxCanvas element, because a parent raised it.
RoutingStrategy.Bubble: event travels from event source, the FraxIconX element,  to the
visual tree root e.g., Window.
RoutingStrategy.Tunnel: event travels from the tree root e.g., Window and stops at the event source, the FraxIconX element.

The solution is to remove the EventTrigger.SourceName attribute and move the trigger to the event source (the UserControl) or to any of the event source's parent element:
<UserControl>
  <UserControl.Triggers>
    <EventTrigger RoutedEvent="local:FraxCanvas.OnStartStoryboard">
      <BeginStoryboard x:Name="storyboard">
        <Storyboard>
          <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="fraxCanvas"
                           Storyboard.TargetProperty="Opacity"
                           From="1" To="0.25" />
        </Storyboard>
      </BeginStoryboard>
    </EventTrigger>
  </UserControl.Triggers>

  <Border>
    <FraxCanvas x:Name="fraxCanvas" />
  </Border>
</UserControl>

Q: Take only local value not global one, when calling a global variable I have some trouble with a global variable that is not using the local value of a variable I set inside a function because when I call it, it takes the global or default value of such a variable, but not the local one. I hope this could be understandable.
I set my global variables, which I'm gonna use on several functions:
params = {
    max: 1,
    time: 10*1000,
    errors: ['time']
}

timeoutmessage = '**Error:** You did not reply, so you are probably playing with me. I only wait for reply for ' + params.time / 1000 + ' seconds. So, I understand your nothingness as a yes. Therefore, I will get outta here. Goodbye!'

Then, I set the value of time on params JS object locally, and I also console.log it:
params['time'] = 20*1000

console.log('Time value: ' + params.time);

Finally, I summon the global variable locally, which I desire, that it employs the local value:
message.channel.send(timeoutmessage);

Although, when the global variable is summoned it gives me:

Error: You did not reply, so you are probably playing with me. I only wait for reply for 10 seconds. So, I understand your nothingness as a yes. Therefore, I will get outta here. Goodbye!

Even though, when the console.log says me:

Time value: 20000

Therefore, the global variable (timeoutmessage), is only taking global, not the local one.
However, I don't know how to solve this. Any reply will be grateful.

A: params = {
    max: 1,
    time: 10*1000,
    errors: ['time']
}

getTimeOutMessage = function(){
    return params.time /1000;
}

params['time'] = 20*1000

message.channel.send(getTimeOutMessage());

A: As the params is an object, pass by reference will occur and that will change the original object in the global variable. Try to pass a deep/shallow copy of the params object to other functions:

*

*Deep Copy: const copyParams = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(params));

*Shallow Copy: const sCopyParams = Object.assign({}, params); or const sCopyParams = {...params};

Q: In Firefox, get href of anchor in onclick trigger With the following html:

   Link 1
   Link 2
   Link 3

function func() {
   var href = ??;
   if( href.match(/#link1/) ) {
      ...
   }
}

in Chrome (and IE?) can use this code
var href = window.event.target.href;

but window.event does not exist in Firefox
If the events were attached via addEventListener then could have e as an argument,  but see no way to get the event passed to the onclick function when declared in html.

A: Pass in this to your function and then directly access the href property. this will refer to the element that made the call. You may also want to return false - this prevents the clicked link from navigating.
http://jsfiddle.net/qjXVy/
function func(elem) {
    alert(elem.href);
    return false;
}

   Link 1
   Link 2
   Link 3

A: You do get the event as an argument, in the onclick handler itself.  So you can do:
 Link 1

and then you can look at the event target in func.

Our volleyball players are celebrating an incredible week.
Our U16 Boys Volleyball players were named champions in the ISSFHK League. They beat Australian International School 2-0 and then the host team Singapore International School 2-0. This marks an amazing journey for the players who did not win a single set last year. But hard work and a growth mindset has proved that effort really does pay off.
Congratulations also to our U16 Girls Volleyball players on their own amazing season. Their hard work was rewarded this week as they were one of only four teams to qualify for the playoff in the U16 Girls Volleyball Competition. Some of the girls joined the team with no playing experience at all. The team finished third in the league.
Both the boys' and girls' teams have have been practicing on Saturday mornings, and have adopted a real growth mindset to the sport this season. All the players have showed incredible dedication and resilience under the coaching of Scarlette Leung and Erin Loges.
We congratulate the teams and their coaches for their amazing achievements, and are proud to celebrate their success.
