Who needs Dora the Explorer when you have a Sheltie to hand? This baby has found the best distraction ever in her pet dog, who seems to be taking his babysitting duties less than seriously.
Everybody likes an audience when they are being silly but this dog just laps it up as the baby creases up in hysterics at his zooming around the place. The Sheltie does the classic "I'm gunna run at you and stop just before I get to you moves!" and then there is a swift game of hide and seek under the coffee table before a game of chase and spin around.
We then get treated to a game of "Simon Says" as baby topples over and the Sheltie copies him and then baby gets a nice Sheltie kiss to thank him for his participation!

Wink-Loving Independent School District is a public school district based in Wink, Texas, United States in Winkler County, Texas.  The district serves students in southern and western Winkler County along with all of Loving County.

Wink-Loving ISD was established in 1928 and in the following year built a two story Jr/High School with a mission revival styling designed by the Butler Company of Lubbock, Tx. In 1948 WLISD build a Band Hall and Cafeteria(now administration building). In 1959 they build a Elementary School. In 1962 WLISD build a gym and pool building. In 1978 WLISD extended the Elementary School. In 1981 expanded the gym adding a physical fitness center then 1982 built a new cafeteria and remodeled the old 1948 cafeteria turning into the administration building.
                                                                                In 2018, the school district was rated "failing" by the Texas Education Agency. The same Agency had rated the school district "academically acceptable" in 2009.

In November 2018, Superintendent of Schools Scotty Carman and the Wink ISD school board voted 6-1 in favor of demolishing the historic, but decrepit 90-year-old high school building, auditorium addition, which was demolished along with the old high school building, to make room for future development. Demolition began in January, 2019.

In 2020, the school district voted to replace the 1959 Elementary School, 1948 Band Hall, 1948 Administration Building, and the 1982 cafeteria. In August 2021, the new band hall was opened.
The new Elementary School and Cafeteria opened to the 2022-2023 school year. The old Elementary is planned to be demoed after the asbestos is removed and a new admin building and auditorium will be built on the grounds.

One of the calculations you have to make when choosing to fly is the ever-present question of how to get to the airport. Do you drive there and pay an arm and a leg for parking? Do you beg your friend to drive you and owe them a favor for the foreseeable future? Or do you take public transit?
Airport transit access is not created equally. To help you out this holiday season, we analyzed the top 20 busiest U.S. airports by total passenger boardings to find out which are easy to get to by transit — and which aren't.
For most of our studies, we use the default MobilityScore algorithm publicly available on our website. This takes any address and analyzes the nearby public transit, bikeshare, carshare, and ridehailing services — how far away they are and how often they come.
However, holiday travel at airports presented a challenge: You definitely aren't going to take bikeshare from the airport, and carshare isn't available (or is only one of many car-rental options). And ridehailing waits are usually short, as there is typically a pool of vehicles waiting for travelers to arrive.
For this study, our methodology took into account the public transit options directly accessible at the airport, typical ridehailing wait, and approximate walk time from the baggage claim.
What gave Miami the edge over the other airports? Well, it certainly doesn't hurt that it's fairly centrally located within the city itself. But the real difference? The humble bus.
Most of the top 10 cities have rail stations that drop off at or very near the airport. But Miami Airport Station also includes nine bus lines that run through it fairly consistently and serve many neighborhoods, increasing access versus over airports like Denver or Dallas where transit mostly serves to carry travelers straight downtown. The same variety of transit helped other top spots, including Boston's Logan airport with its popular Silver Line buses, and several SEPTA lines serving Philadelphia.
So this year, if you're in one of these cities — save some money, some gas, and some road rage. Leave the car at home!

Denmark has a long tradition of having part-time and volunteer firefighters, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to get enough of them – especially in the smaller towns. At present more than half of the country's 314 fire stations are short of personnel, according to the Danish emergency services organisation Danske Beredskaber.
One of the criterion for becoming a part-time or volunteer firefighter is that you must be able to reach the fire station within five minutes. Because more people are commuting to the bigger towns to work, it is impossible for them to get to the station in time, Jarl Vagn Hansen, the head of Danske Beredskaber, told TV2 Nyheder.
According to Hansen, if things continue this way, it will mean higher taxes to pay for more permanent staff at fire stations. He would also like to see companies being more flexible when it comes to allowing employees who are firefighters to leave work at odd times during the day. "Both private and public employees should stand shoulder to shoulder to release employees for the fire service so that we can ensure a cheap, efficient and safe service that is close to citizens," said Hansen.
Will they, won't they – nobody knows for sure when it comes to Brexit, but the Danish customs service Toldstyrelsen is preparing for all eventualities and has announced that it will stay open all night from Friday to Saturday this week. If British PM Theresa May is unable to convince her EU colleagues to grant an extension, the UK is set to leave the EU on Friday at 23:00 UK time. "If there is a 'no deal', during the night between April 12 and 13, a number of companies might be in doubt as to what they should do, so we are providing an extra service by staying open during he night, Toldstyrelsen's commercial director Maren Holm Jakobsen told DR Nyheder.
A local farmer in Ølsted, eastern Jutland, has been trying for nine years to obtain permission to plant a 12-hectare oak and beech wood on his own land. However, although local people and the local church are behind the move, Haderslev diocese has used a 30-year-old law to stop him, reports TV2 Nyheder. The law states that churches should stand out as significant local landmarks. "There's a good reason Denmark has such a beautiful landscape and that is the protection of our cultural heritage. Sometimes this can stand in the way of good initiatives," the Bishop of Haderslev, Marianne Christiansen, told TV2. At present, 14 percent of Denmark is covered by forest and the Ministry of the Environment would like to see this increased to 25 percent by the end of this century.
Plastic waste in nature has been increasingly in focus in everything from the sea to drinking water. A major problem is that plastic takes so long to break down, and this was emphasised by a chance discovery last week. A pedagogue with a group of children was out in Lisbjerg Forest just outside Aarhus digging a new bed to plant potatoes. A plastic bag came to light that proved to be a Kims paprika-flavoured potato crisps bag with a use-by date of 2 October 1978. "The bag is actually as old as I am, and it is the bag that has changed the least over the more than 40 years," said the finder, pedagogue Emil Hahn-Thomsen, to TV2 Østjylland.

Home Entertainment David Letterman Signed Into 2015
David Letterman Signed Into 2015
Samantha Pysher
NEW YORK (AP) — CBS says David Letterman has signed a contract extension to remain host of the "Late Show" into 2015.
The deal keeps Letterman on the air well beyond the exit of rival Jay Leno, who is being replaced next winter at NBC's "Tonight" show by Jimmy Fallon.
Letterman joked on Friday that he had a lengthy talk with CBS president and CEO Leslie Moonves and that "we both agreed that I needed a little more time to fully run the show into the ground."
Letterman already has the longest tenure of any late-night talk show host in U.S. television history, 31 years and counting since he began at NBC in 1982.

Robert Browne, Hawaiian Psychiatrist, Accused of Sexual Abuse of 26 school children
Lawsuit Claims Kamehameha Schools' Psychiatrist Molested 26
By Marina Riker
HONOLULU – Twenty-six former students alleged in a lawsuit filed Tuesday that they were repeatedly sexually abused by a now-deceased psychiatrist at a private school for Native Hawaiians.
The plaintiffs are suing Kamehameha Schools and the estate of psychiatrist Robert Browne, who they say molested them during therapy sessions between 1958 and 1985. Kamehameha Schools required each student to undergo therapy, took them to Browne's office and paid for the services, according to the lawsuit.
Kamehameha Schools has known about the allegations for the last 25 years but failed to respond or investigate them, the lawsuit said.
"Kamehameha School has to take responsibility on this one," Honolulu attorney Michael Green said at a news conference Tuesday. "They're not going to run from this case."
Green said he thinks there are many other students who were abused by Browne that haven't come forward.
Kamehameha Schools was established in 1883 by the will of Princess Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Kamehameha Schools gives admission preference to students of Native Hawaiian ancestry and enrolls nearly 7,000 at three campuses statewide.
The lawsuit also names as a defendant St. Francis Medical Center, where Browne served as director of psychiatry until he lost his credentials. He then continued practicing at Kuakini Medical Center, now known as Kuakini Health System, which is another defendant.
Browne died in 1991.
Kennith Cockett, vice president of communications at Kamehameha Schools, said the school is "troubled and saddened" by the allegations.
"The safety and welfare of our students is Kamehameha's highest priority," Cockett said. "We are working to resolve this matter in the best interests of everyone involved."
Kuakini Health System respond didn't immediately comment. Honolulu attorney Richard Gronna, who represents the estate of Robert Browne, and St. Francis Healthcare System refused to comment on the case.
Twenty-four of the 26 former students in the lawsuit are graduates of Kamehameha Schools. The other two were from other schools that were referred to Browne.
All of the plaintiffs were boys younger than 16 when they were abused, according to the lawsuit.
The suit alleges that Browne told the students his so-called therapy sessions, which included masturbation and oral sex, were a required part of therapy to ensure their bodies were functioning properly. The abuse took place in Browne's office and home, as well as the residential apartment of the principal, the suit said.
The lawsuit claims that if students refused to attend Browne's therapy sessions, they would be threatened, sometimes even with expulsion.
Blake Conant, a plaintiff, said his younger brother, Christopher, was abused by Browne from 1968 to 1969.
Browne prescribed Canton valium, according to the lawsuit. Christopher Conant struggled with drugs and alcohol for the rest of his life until he died of an overdose in 2011, his older brother said.
"How could this have happened?" said Blake Conant, who is representing Christopher. "My mom and dad entrusted Kamehameha to watch over us."
The lawsuit is possible now because Hawaii is among the states that recently extended the statute of limitations for adults who suffered sexual abuse as children. Hawaii's extension on the statute of limitations expires in April.
Some of the plaintiffs filed a similar suit in 2014 but needed to go before the state Medical Inquiry Conciliation Panel before the case could move forward.
The lawsuit comes a month after abuse allegations surfaced at a prestigious Rhode Island boarding school against an athletic trainer and other school employees in the 1970s and 80s.
Lawyers for the victims say they've identified at least 40 former students who were molested or raped. Rhode Island state police are also investigating.
The $56,000-a-year Middletown school has educated many famous names including Prescott Bush, a senator and the father and grandfather of the former presidents Bush.

PUZZLE is an electro-pop music artist from London who's sound and style can best be described as dark and experimental. With rich and alluring vocals, he sings about the complexities of the human condition: it's fears, desires, secrets and passions. Following the success of his three singles "Godlike", "Trial By Fire" and "Comedown", his very first EP, Babylon, a stellar collection of 4 tracks was released back in March.
Welcome Puzzle! Tell us a little about yourself and how you got started.
Hi guys, thanks for having me! I started getting involved with music from a very early age, I used to be part of choirs and musical activities in my local Baptist church back in Brazil where I grew up and that's where I developed my love for singing and performing.
I moved to London during my teenage years and worked in a variety of music projects doing session singing for many artists and eventually felt the need to find my own voice as an artist – that's when PUZZLE was born.
We like the name Puzzle. It suggests an enigma. Is that how you would describe yourself as an artist?
It's not necessarily about creating an enigma per se, to be honest, I wanted to have an artistic name that expressed why I make music.
I realised I was trying to understand the human condition through crafting songs; our inner-most thoughts and feelings, all these particles and pieces that create who we are as individuals… it made me think that we are all 'puzzles' in some shape or form and living is the process by which we try to fit all the pieces together. That's where the name comes from.
Where do you draw your inspiration for your music?
Inspiration can come from anywhere really, I try to stay open to absorb what the environment is throwing at me. I tend to watch documentaries, go to live music concerts, art exhibitions, eavesdrop on people conversing on the tube, you name it. There are gems that spark creativity all around us, I try to tune in and let my imagination do the rest.
Tell us about the pleasure of recording vs the pleasure of performing.
Oh boy, they are very different beasts. I absolutely adore recording, creating something from nothing and the experimentation aspect which is so liberating… making mistakes and sometimes relishing in the mistakes because somehow they work. Recording really gives me a buzz and I feel like I'm in my element.
Performing is a completely different kettle of fish – I have a love/fear relationship with being on stage. The build up to it leaves drained and I get nauseous, I worry about what could go wrong and the attention I'm receiving.
All of that is short-lived though, as soon as start singing all that weight is lifted and it becomes the most joyous experience, connecting with the audience it's the most exhilarating feeling in the world, it makes feel alive.
What do you want your audience to feel when they listen to your music?
It's hard to predict how people react to your music, my intention is always to write songs that will resonate on a personal level to my audience, I would love to think I'm writing the soundtrack to people's lives.
PUZZLE is more of a world than an individual, I'd like people to be transported to this ever-evolving place, where escapism and deeper layers await them.
What is your personal style when it comes to dressing?
I don't necessarily believe in following trends all the time, I think wearing clothes that express who you are and you feel comfortable in equals dressing well. Fashion is a tremendous way to empower people, the fewer rules the better so I'd describe my style as experimental.
Apart from music, what are your favourite pastimes?
I read a lot, especially high fantasy books; I exercise often to counteract the inner foodie in me (I really love desserts/chocolate); I also enjoy tv series, Game of Thrones is one of my favourites but I have started watching a great new one – American Gods – based on the homonymous book by Neil Gaiman which I read years ago.
Any idea what we can expect in the future from your music as you evolve?
I'm introducing more organic sounds and orchestration to my new material, I'm quite taken by David Bowie's Blackstar so what I release next will definitely have some tinge of that album's vibe.
I have been experimenting with voice sampling and manipulation as well so it will be interesting to see the instrumental application of that. Sounds to cleanse the soul is what I'm aiming at… yeah, cleansing.

Jeff Nelson (umpire)
Jeffrey Brian Nelson
Height 6' 2", Weight 196 lb.
School Bethel University
Born June 1, 1965 in St. Paul, MN USA
Jeff Nelson has been a Major League umpire since 1997, when he became a member of the National League umpiring staff. He became a regular crew member two years later. He attended the Joe Brinkman Umpiring School, graduating in 1989. He later served as an umpiring instructor at the school and at academies organized by Major League Baseball. He missed part of the 2007 season with an injury.
Nelson has umpired in the 2005, 2009 and 2014 World Series. He was in right field for Game 3 of the 2009 Series when instant replay was used for the first time in the Fall Classic to determine whether a ball was a home run: Alex Rodriguez had hit a fly ball into the right field corner that appeared to hit the top of the fence and bounce back on the field. Nelson originally ruled a double, but when the video was reviewed, it showed that the ball had hit a camera in the first row of the stands, giving Rodriguez a home run. Nelson has umpired a number of other postseason series, as well as the 2006 All-Star Game and the 2014 All-Star Game.
Nelson made a very embarrassing call in a game between the Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers on May 24, 2013. In the 2nd inning, the Mariners' Jesus Sucre hit into an apparent double play - except that Rangers pitcher Justin Grimm crossed in front of 1B Mitch Moreland and caught the relay. Nelson called Sucre out, event though Grimm's foot was nowhere near the bag, as he was convinced that Moreland had made the catch. He had to recognize his mistake and apologize for it when he saw the replay after the game, but he was not the only one fooled by Grimm's great acting job. On-deck hitter Brendan Ryan admitted he had seen nothing as well, and when Seattle manager Eric Wedge came out to argue, it was that Moreland's foot was off the bag, not that an entirely different player had caught the relay.
Nelson was promoted to crew chief before the 2014 season.
He is the Treasurer (Vice-President) of the World Umpires Association, the Umpires' union. He is not to be confused with relief pitcher Jeff Nelson, who was active when he began umpiring in the majors.

The Best Home Courts In College Basketball

When it comes to college basketball, there is no better and more comfortable a feeling than playing on your home court. When you look at it from the opposite perspective though, there is absolutely nothing tougher than having to travel to a conference rival or an out of conference foe and try your best to tone out the crowd and stick to your principles. Institutions across the nation make it their jobs to make the opposing team feel as uncomfortable as possible from the first foot they step on campus to the time they get back on the bus to go home; and that is what makes college basketball different from any other sport.
There is nothing better than traveling to one of the venues I am about to list, sitting back and taking in some of the most amazing different atmospheres in the realm of college basketball. What surprises me about doing a type of list like this, is the amount of people who are not aware of some of these different arenas and how important they really are to tradition and history of the sport. Some of these home courts are famous for their student sections, while others are more famous for their building structures and the history of success inside it. Without further ado, here is the list of the best college basketball home courts in the nation [in no particular order].
Team: Kansas Jayhawks
Nickname: The Phog
Rock Chalk Jayhawk
If you are going to show up to see a Kansas basketball game, be sure to be there plenty of time before tip-off to be a part of one of the best traditions in college basketball history.
Cameron Indoor Stadium
Team: Duke Blue Devils
Nickname: Coach K Court
Capacity: 9,314
Cameron Crazies
There is no better 40 minutes of basketball in all of college than to attend a game at Cameron Indoor with the Cameron Crazies.
Team: Kentucky Wildcats
Nickname: None
Kentucky Basketball
When the term "tradition" comes up in college basketball, no other school comes to mind other than the Kentucky Wildcats and the UCLA Bruins, but no arena and atmosphere is as lively as Rupp on a Saturday Night.
The Carrier Dome
Team: Syracuse Orange
Nickname: The Loud House
Orange Krush At It Again At Assembly Hall
When the Dome is packed and the Orange Krush are rocking, Syracuse, New York turns into one of the top mecca's of college basketball.
The Palestra
Team: Penn Quakers / Philly 5
Nickname: The Cathedral of College Basketball
Ivy League Tradition
If you are to ever attend a college basketball in the Ivy League, I would strongly recommend a trip to The Palestra to see the Quakers.
Gallagher-Iba Arena
Team: Oklahoma State Cowboys
Nickname: The Madison Square Garden of the Plaines
Cowboys Buzzer Beater
Behind the recent success of former head coach Eddie Sutton for sixteen years, the Oklahoma State Cowboys have been an institution in the Big 12 for years.
University Arena
Team: New Mexico Lobos
Nickname: The Pit
The Lobos Are At It Again
There is no better atmosphere in the Mountain West than to see "The Pit" in action against a conference rival. The uniqueness and structure of the stadium make it an experience unlike any other.
Hinkle Fieldhouse
Team: Butler Bulldogs
Butler Playing The Roll Of Cinderella....Again
No state in the U.S. has as much history and love for the sport of college and high school basketball than Indiana. Every home game shows exactly why you do not have to look to any other place to see what true college basketball is like.
Breslin Center
When You Have Tom Izzo As Your Head Coach, It's Never Over
When you have Tom Izzo on your sideline, every season has the potential to end in the Final Four and that is the current life of a Michigan State Spartan.
Team: Indiana Hoosiers
Nickname: Branch McCracken Court
Capacity: 17,46
Just Another Win For The Kids At Bloomington
With five National Championships under their belts, the Indiana Hoosiers and Assembly Hall are a tradition unlike any other when it comes to college basketball.
Team: Wisconsin Badgers
Bo Ryan and the Badgers Don't Upset The Number One Buckeyes Everyday
When you have coaches in the Big 10 like Tom Izzo, Bruce Weber, Bo Ryan and Tubby Smith, it tends to be the man on the sideline that gets a lot of the attention, but with the impressive home record by the Badgers in Ryan's tenure, it is the University of Wisconsin getting the national attention.
Williams Arena
Team: Minnesota Golden Gophers
Nickname: The Barn
Just Another Three Pointer At The Barn
It is very hard to describe what it is like to watch a game at Williams Arena, but it can be explained as almost watching a movie at a theater because of the height of the raised court.
Team: Illinois Fighting Illini
The Chiefs Last Dance
The Big 10 has some of the best home courts in college basketball and Illinois is absolutely no different with the excellent job done by Bruce Weber and the former chief himself.
Hec Edmundson Pavilion
Team: Washington Huskies
Nickname: Hec Ed
Another Husky Buzzer Beater
In the recent years, plenty of west coast based schools [obviously plus UCLA] have built up very positive relationships and atmospheres in college basketball and the Huskies of Washington is no different.
Dee Glen Smith Spectrum
Team: Utah State Aggies
Nickname: Smith Spectrum
I Believe That We Will Win
A newcomer to the group, Utah State [located in Logan, Utah] has emerged as one of the best new atmospheres to "win" a college basketball game in.
Dean Smith Center
Team: North Carolina Tarheels
Nickname: The Dean Dome
The Magic Of The Baby Blue
A trip to the Dean Smith Center is a no-brainer for any college basketball fan across the country, especially if you can be lucky enough the travel down Tobacco Road to see the best rivalry in UNC and Duke.
Peterson Events Center
Team: Pittsburgh Panthers
Nickname: The Pete
Jamie Dixon And The Panthers Just Get By West Virginia
One of the most underrated coaches in the country, Jamie Dixon, has been the Panthers head coach for over seven years and with a little more tournament success could become a serious staple around college basketball.
Notable Mentions- Florida- Stephen C. O'Connell Center, Clemson- Littlejohn Coliseum, Maryland-Comcast Center, Vanderbilt- Memorial Gymnasium, Dayton- UD Arena, Arizona-McKale Memorial Center, Kansas State-Bramlage Coliseum, UCLA- Pauley Pavilion, Arkansas- Bud Walton Arena and Oregon- MacArthur Court

I love the story of The Green Fairy, the depths of depravity and just saying "No" to the minds hopeless entangled in the chemical illusions. Thank You for using Little Boy to illustrate another fabulous work of your much beloved written art!
I so appreciate you do in your artistic life and am grateful to be able to use one of your images, or more someday! Thank you, Dixie!
Anytime you want to use one of my images you are most welcome to! I am deeply humbled and honored when one of shots can go to another level and support incredible written word done so beautifully by you.
I loved this story Steph and little did Matt know – the 'what ifs' were already in the works!!!
No kidding, Sally! Thank you for reading these and hope you're well.
Thank you, Helen, especially because it's pretty dark. I know somewon't want to experience those words and concepts. But I like dark and juicy too.
Thank you, dear Helen! Some like these dark ones, I like to write them, and some expect something else from me. It does my heart good to know you are reading them.
Another great story Steph. Love this.
Love you, Fiona. Hope all is well.
Nice! Not going to try and get flowery here. Your writing keeps me enthralled.
I have been thinking about trying the green stuff for a few years, but never bought a bottle.
Thank you, Linda. It's kind of awful, actually…but gave me something to write about. The piece for the book includes another Green Fairy experience, not so good either.
I simply love this and adore the book idea! Please let's see each other!

Faraway, so close: Two new Panasonic ZS-series travel zooms
camera dmc-zs15 dmc-zs20 lumix panasonic
posted Tuesday, January 31, 2012 at 12:00 AM EST
Panasonic Corp. has today revealed two new ZS-series digital cameras, including one that it says sets a world record.
According to the company, the Panasonic ZS20 is the world's slimmest digital camera with a 20x optical zoom lens. At 1.3 inches thick, you won't be slipping it in a shirt pocket, but it's plenty slim enough to make an attractive travel-zoom camera, offering all the reach you're likely to need, and then some. Its sibling, the Panasonic ZS15 has a 16x optical zoom--still pretty powerful, if not record-setting.
The duo differ in some other key areas, beyond the obvious variation in pricing. The ZS20 boasts a touch screen display, and a higher-resolution image sensor. It also adds stereo audio, and a special high-speed video mode (or slow-motion, depending on how you look at things). For its part, the ZS15 has a wider shutter speed range.
The less expensive of the duo is detailed in our Panasonic Lumix ZS15 preview, and ships from March 2012 priced at around US$280. Its more far-reaching sibling ships at the same time, priced at around US$350, and is further covered in our Panasonic Lumix ZS20 preview.

Panasonic Expands Its Popular ZS-Series Of Digital Cameras With New Advanced Features And Creative Shooting Options Packed In A Slim Body
Panasonic LUMIX ZS20, the World's Slimmest Digital Camera with a 20x Optical Zoom Lens*1, Also Features Full-HD Video Recording and Built-In GPS Capabilities
Secaucus, NJ (January, 31, 2012) - Panasonic today introduced the LUMIX DMC-ZS20, the newest member of the acclaimed LUMIX ZS-Series, and the world's slimmest digital camera with a 20x optical zoom lens*1. With a powerful zoom, a 24mm ultra wide-angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens and the ability to shoot full-High Defintion (HD), the new LUMIX ZS20 builds on the series' success as an extremely versatile point-and-shoot model. With a newly-redesigned lens system, the LUMIX ZS20 features a new mechanical structure and optical system to further improve image quality and with Nano Surface Coating technology, the LUMIX ZS20 offers stunning image clarity with minimized ghosting and flare.
Beyond the quality of its lens, the LUMIX ZS20 integrates an enhanced built-in GPS*2 functionality, making it easy for users to pinpoint locations where photos were taken and share with family and friends on internet maps. Map data can be installed onto the LUMIX ZS20 via a bundled DVD, giving the camera detailed worldwide maps of major regions on a scale of 1/25,000 or more precise. A user can copy the map data of a designated city to an SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card and get quick geographic information to know their location and if any landmarks are located nearby. More than one million landmarks and 82 countries/regions are covered in the bundled DVD map. Geo-tagged images are automatically sorted and can be played back along a map so that users can literally trace their photographic journey. Many GPS cameras show only the latitude and longitude of where a photo is taken, but the LUMIX ZS20 shows the name of the Country/Region, State/Prov./County, County/Township, City/Town/Village and Landmark – all of which is saved in the EXIF data.
"Panasonic has long been the leader in developing compact digital cameras with long zooms and wide-angle lenses and with the introduction of the LUMIX ZS20, we continue to be in the forefront with an extremely versatile digital camera that meets the needs of all different types of photographers," said David Briganti, Senior Product Manager, Imaging, Panasonic Consumer Marketing Company of North America. "With an impressive 20x optical zoom and 24mm wide-angle lens, the ZS20 gives consumer the ability to capture a variety of different shots, all while carrying a digital camera that is slim enough to slip in a pocket or small purse. Plus with Panasonic's HD video recording capability and improved GPS functionality, the ZS20 is an excellent choice for consumers who want to fully capture the details of their memories."
Featuring a newly developed 14.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS sensor, the LUMIX ZS20 is able to provide even higher image quality compared to its predecessors. Coupled with the advanced image processor Venus Engine, the LUMIX ZS20 features high speed, high sensitivity image recording. High speed burst shooting at 10 fps in full resolution and Light Speed AF allows users to capture even the most fleeting photo opportunities.
With the ability to record high-resolution, full-HD 1,920 x 1,080 60p videos in AVCHD Progressive (MPEG-4) format (or 30p in MP4)*3, the LUMIX ZS20 upgrades its full-HD recording capability and is able to produce extremely clear video details, even when subjects are moving quickly. A powerful 20x optical zoom with 2-step Zoom function is available in video recording and the popular iA mode assists users, making video recording as easy as aiming the camera. A stereo zoom microphone provides videos with the high-quality stereo sound of Dolby® Digital Stereo Creator, offering highly realistic sound in the captured video. The Auto Wind Cut function helps to block out wind background noise making voices clearer, and mechanical noise caused by zooming is suppressed to improve overall video sound quality.
In addition, the ZS20 has manual control options, allowing the user to adjust shutter speed and aperture, and 3D Photo Mode, the LUMIX ZS20 also features a variety of special effects that add fun to a photography shooting experience. Creative Control mode offers a selection of artistic effects including Expressive Retro, High Dynamic, Sepia, Dynamic Monochrome, High Key, Low Key, Miniature Effect, Toy Effect and Soft Focus. In Miniature Effect mode, the peripherals are defocused while saturation and contrast are emphasized to make the picture look like a diorama. Video recorded in this mode is played back in 10x fast-forwarding, making it comical to watch*4. Panorama mode makes it possible for users to shoot 360-degree horizontal or vertical panoramic images by taking consecutive shots and then overlay it for the effect of a panoramic photo. Creative Retouch mode offers users six filters – Toy Effect, Soft Focus, Dynamic Monochrome, Expressive, High Key and Retro – to create artistic looking photos. Additionally, the Auto Retouch function automatically adjusts contrast and brightness for a clearer, more natural image and can be applied with the simple press of a button.
For users looking for a more intuitive photo experience, the LUMIX ZS20 features iA (Intelligent Auto) mode, which automatically activates a range of technologies to enhance photos without adjusting settings every time conditions change. The new HDR (High Dynamic Range) together with POWER O.I.S. with Active Mode, which suppresses blur from hand-shake, AF Tracking, Intelligent ISO Control, Face Recognition, Intelligent Scene Selector, Intelligent Handheld Nightshot, Motion Deblur mode, Intelligent Burst mode and Intelligent Exposure allows users to point and shoot, leaving the camera to do all the work in capturing beautiful imagery.
Additional features and functionalities of the LUMIX ZS20 include:
Large, 3.0-inch 460,000-dot Smart Touch LCD Screen
Touch AF, Touch Zoom or Touch Shutter during recording and various playback functions like scrolling the map with high visibility.
Flexibility of USB charging or conventional AC adapter charging methods.
LUMIX Image Uploader for seamless and instant sharing via Facebook or YouTube. Users can checkmark the photo or video files they want to share, connect it to a PC with the included USB cable or by inserting the SD Memory Card directly into the PC's SD Card slot, and then the uploading automatically launches with an easy-to-follow menu option.
Also introduced today, the LUMIX DMC-ZS15 features a versatile 24mm ultra-wide angle and powerful 16x optical zoom LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens (24-383mm on 35mm camera equivalent) with 32x Intelligent Zoom. Other features include:
12.1-megapixel High Sensitivity MOS Sensor
Full HD Video Recording in 60i AVCHD*5 and 30p in MP4

The Children's Research Centre has been at the heart of paediatric research in Ireland and internationally for over four decades. Founded in 1965, it was the first dedicated research centre on the site of an Irish hospital. The centre underwent major renovation and organizational changes in 2009, and now offers a state of the art facility for biomedical research. Additionally, we are developing a Paediatric Clinical Research Unit. With a new Directorate, also appointed in 2009, the remit of the centre was broadened to include all paediatric research groups in Ireland, and the name has been changed to the National Children's Research Centre to reflect this.

Q: ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE - precedence When doing an INSERT INTO {tableA} SELECT a,b,c FROM {tableB} ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE x=y
What is the precedence on how the duplicate keys are evaluated? I assume that MySQL first checks to see if a tuple from tableB exists clashes with a unique/primary key in tableA. If the SELECT doesn't include a primary key, or if no other duplicate key exists, then each subsequent UNIQUE INDEX "group" is evaluated and the same checking is performed. But what happens if your tableB has multiple sets of unique, multi-column indexes? Are they evaluated top-to-bottom, as described by SHOW INDEXES FROM tableB ?
Here's my SHOW INDEXES FROM <table>:
Table,Non_unique,Key_name,Seq_in_index,Column_name,Collation
daily_metrics,0,PRIMARY,1,id,A
daily_metrics,0,unique_lineItem_creative_y_m_d,1,line_item_id,A
daily_metrics,0,unique_lineItem_creative_y_m_d,2,creative_id,A
daily_metrics,0,unique_lineItem_creative_y_m_d,3,year,A
daily_metrics,0,unique_lineItem_creative_y_m_d,4,month,A
...

Imagine there are additional sets of unique indexes similar to unique_lineItem_creative_y_m_d
The docs don't seem to illustrate this behavior.
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/insert-on-duplicate.html
I also assume that the first matching unique index is used, if a match exists, without any attempt to match subsequent unique indexes that could match. In other words, the first unique index that matches is used, without regard for trying to find the best possible match across all indexes.

A: You are correct: as soon as MySQL detects a duplicate in any UNIQUE index, it abandons the INSERT and does the update.
The order in which MySQL evaluates the unique indexes does not change the outcome.  There's no such thing as a better match for some unique index over another. Because they're unique indexes, any combination of column values that shows up as a duplicate is enough to completely specify the row to be updated.
MySQL's query planner, hopefully, chooses the index that's least costly to evaluate. But, formally speaking, the index it uses for this purpose is unpredictable. This unpredictability is an attribute of declarative languages like SQL.  MySQL can do its work any way that works, and it doesn't have to tell you. It can be hard for programmers to grasp, because we're used to procedural languages.

A: If any primary or unique keys exist in tableB, that's irrelevant. The only thing that matters for INSERT...ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE are the primary or unique keys of the table you're inserting into — tableA in your example.
If the values you insert to tableA are already found in any of tableA's  primary or unique keys, that triggers the UPDATE part of the IODKU.
It's about the values being inserted, not the constraints of the source table.
You can also trigger the UPDATE without using any source table -- just by inserting a VALUES() clause with a set of constants.

Africa Sees 'Rapid Evolution' Of Coronavirus As The Pandemic Hits 34 Nations In The Motherland
Africa is moving quickly to implement safety precautions to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
by Amaya Woodley
As the world grapples with the coronavirus pandemic, the continent of Africa has started to race to implement strategies amid increasing reported cases.
Africa CDC Director John Nkengasong said although there is a total of 34 out of 54 countries in the continent with confirmed cases, "the situation will get worse before it gets better," The New York Times reports.
"We are picking some people, but we are also missing some people," Nkengasong said. "The situation will get worse before it gets better because the chances are clear that people have slipped through."
Initial cases in Africa were confined to travelers abroad, mainly from Europe, but now experts are starting to see an increase of transmission through locals. World Health Organization's (WHO) Africa chief Dr. Matshidiso Moeti said the virus is "an extremely rapid evolution," according to Time.
"About 10 days ago we had about five countries," she said.
Nigeria has restricted travelers from countries with more than 1,000 confirmed cases, totaling 13, according to CNN. The restriction will be put into place on Friday until further notice. The country has also requested for schools to shut down and citizens to limit public gatherings, including religious congregations, Quartz Africa reports.
Tunisia also barred international flights, closing their borders to contain the spread of the virus that has claimed the lives of thousands globally. Other countries including Uganda, Algeria, Kenya and several others have also enforced travel restrictions and border control.
In South Africa, President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a state of disaster with 116 cases reported on Thursday, BBC News reports.
Although Rwanda has yet to report any cases as of Thursday morning, the country has been encouraging residents to practice good hygiene and handwashing at taps installed at bus stations. Kenya recently opened up a 120-bed quarantine center with testing facilities in Nairobi.
Although many African countries are enforcing safety precautions, Nkengasong criticized nations' imposition of travel bans without a long-term plan, which could possibly limit people's access to healthcare services.
"Anyone who has followed pandemics over the years, you know that that doesn't work," he said. "When you lock down countries, you should understand clearly how to unlock the country."
Head of WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Africa must "wake up" and prepare for the worst, BBC News reports.
Health officials warn that Africa's public health systems could become easily overwhelmed, as 16 people have died related to the virus as of Thursday.
Despite receiving harsh criticism for their handling of the virus, health experts told CNN that African countries' experience with Ebola in 2014 has prepared citizens and local governments for a global pandemic.
"We successfully managed Ebola ... and are currently managing Lassa fever. We have a strong team that is used to doing this," said Chikwe Ihekweazu, director of Nigeria's National Centre for Disease Control.

Just four kilometers beyond the village of Pyrgos and on the north shore of the island, the small fishing port of Panormos is a major attraction for visitors looking for a charming seaside location with plenty of tavernas and fish restaurants. One of the most picturesque spots, all of the restaurants overlook the harbor, full of colorful bobbing caiques. There are two beaches nearby, one to the left across the headland and accessible on foot, and the other to the right along a paved road for auto traffic. Historically, the port was used for commercial export of raw marble and for the village baskets made in Volax.

There may be a difference in the way certain items of expense are allowed to be treated for tax purposes and how a company actually treats them. Tax laws allow a 100% depreciation in the first year after a company acquires certain assets, a form of accelerated depreciation. But a company may actually write off the depreciation over a larger number of years in its financials. The company may charge depreciation at lower rates than allowed under tax laws. Or it may use a different method of charging depreciation.

When a company creates a provision for deferred tax liability in its profit statement, it show that it has postponed part of the tax due on that year's transaction to the future. The deferred tax liability serves the purpose of a reserve, which will be drawn down in the future years to meet the company's higher tax liability in those years. Situations in which there is a deferred tax liability... ======================================================== There may be a difference in the way certain items of expense are allowed to be treated for tax purposes and how a company actually treats them. - Tax laws allow a 100% depreciation in the first year after a company acquires certain assets, a form of accelerated depreciation.

WNBA G.O.A.T Bracket Challenge – Selection Committee weighs in on Sweet 16
Aneela Khan April 10, 2020 WNBA
Our selection committee has come together once again to discuss the WNBA G.O.A.T Sweet 16. We shared our thoughts and opinions on the various players that made it into the Sweet 16. The updated bracket can be viewed here.
Just as a reminder, the selection committee members are: Kevin Brown, Nathan Hiatt, Lamar Smith, Michael Olsen, Aneela Khan and Glenn Starkey. We discussed our thoughts & opinions below. Enjoy!
Q: What were your initial thoughts on the Sweet 16?
Aneela: It's an interesting field. All of the 16 WNBA players that have been voted in by WNBA Twitter users have great resumes and only one of them is under 30 years old. I would say that the variety of different players left that could be called the WNBA Greatest Player of All Time is definitely intriguing.
Glenn: So the sweet 16 is set and so far, there are few surprises. Voting did skew a bit towards the present players but aside from Yolanda Griffith not making it, I was not as taken aback by the finalists as others.
Kevin: Not many surprises in the S16, as there have been few upsets. Brittney Griner as a #6 is the underdog, but she was seeded too low to begin with so it isn't really a surprise.
Lamar: I'm very surprised Brittney Griner beat out Seimone Augustus. I think overall, Seimone is a better player and has had a better career overall. I feel Griner upset Seimone because she's one of the more known WNBA players and has a strong fanbase.
Michael: I expected the sweet 16 to look something like this if I'm being honest. I think that all these women have earned their spots on this list.
Nathan: I think that the Sweet 16 has a really decent mix, and I believe that there are some extremely interesting matchups. There are a few matchups that I personally could see going either way for a Final Four spot. I think I am most intrigued for the matchup winner between Lauren Jackson and Elena Della Donne in Region N.
Q: What are your thoughts on both the Round of 32 and the Round of 64?
Aneela: There were some interesting match ups and there were some definitely some hard ones to vote for. Cash vs Vandersloot, Griffith vs Cash, etc. Breanna Stewart vs Maya Moore was the closest for the #1 seed in in terms of voting, all the #4 vs #5 matchups in the second round were too close to call.
Glenn: There were some players who were under seeded and Yolanda Griffith not advancing past round 1 was a crime, both in terms of seeding and many people not knowing how much of a presence Yolanda Griffith was in early history.
Kevin: The one major upset was Courtney Vandersloot over Yo Griffith. Comes from the nature of the voting, I suppose. Lots of newer fans who either never saw Griffith or only saw the over-the-hill version in Seattle and Indiana wouldn't vote for her. Add in a little projection of what Vandersloot might do in the rest of her career and her also being seeded too low and it's a shocker.
Lamar: Their weren't many upsets but both were surprising upsets. Courtney Vandersloot and Skylar Diggins-Smith surprisingly advanced to the next round, I think decency bias had a lot to do with it. Especially in the case of Vandersloot because most people probably didn't see Yolanda Griffith play. Everything else was very predictable.
Michael: I thought the voter turnout for the first two rounds was amazing! I am super excited to see what happens with the next rounds.
Nathan: I thought that the Round of 64 and Round of 32 went pretty straight-forward, but there were a few upsets. I was certainly the most shocked with the Yolanda Griffith loss against Courtney Vandersloot in the Round of 64. With Courtney Vandersloot currently a big name in the WNBA and many fans might not remember Yolanda Griffin, so that makes some sense.
Other than that, I was a little surprised with the Brittney Griner win against Seimone Augustus in the Round of 32 and the Skylar Diggins-Smith win against Deanna Nolan in the Round 64. I might have honestly picked Brittney Griner, as well, but definitely would have been a hard decision. It was a similar situation with Yolanda Griffith and Courtney Vandersloot and, then, Deanna Nolan and Skylar-Diggins Smith as Skylar Diggins-Smith has been extremely popular with fans since she was at Notre Dame.
Q: Who do you think will advance to the Final Four?
Aneela: I think Diana Taurasi, Tamika Catchings, Lauren Jackson and Lisa Leslie narrowly make the Final Four. Although I expect it to be really tough.
Glenn: Diana Taurasi, Elena Delle Donne, Tamika Catchings and Sue Bird.
Lamar: Cythnia Cooper, Diana Taurasi, Maya Moore, Tina Thompson
Michael: I think the final four will be Diana Taurasi, Lauren Jackson, Tamika Catchings, and Lisa Leslie.
Nathan: Diana Taurasi vs. Lauren Jackson and Maya Moore vs. Lisa Leslie. All chalk.
Q: Any surprises or extra comments you would like to make on the tournament so far?
Aneela: Popularity definitely helps. Although, a ton of younger voters may not have had the pleasure of seeing some of the earlier players, so that's why the voting could be skewed. But I think they did a pretty good job. I would I say agree with a large majority of their choices.
Glenn: The sweet 16 really shapes up for some close polls. In the W region any one of the 4 remaining can be considered the GOAT based on the metric and DT and Swoopes who are my Elite 8 picks is a tough decision. It's the best of the first generation vs the best of the 2nd. In the N region, it is old vs new. Elena Delle Donne and Brittney Griner surely will have their places in history but against Cynthia Cooper and Lauren Jackson, it gets pretty tough. In the B region, I sure hope Tamika Catchings gets her due but it will be tough against Maya Moore. In the A region, there are a variety of difficult choices to decide on who moves forward between Sue Bird, Tina Thompson and Lisa Leslie.
Kevin: Region N should have the closest matchups in the S16. Delle Donne is a tough #4 seed with her two MVPs. In the other matchup, Cynthia Cooper's best years happened two decades ago. Easy to see the low seeds making both those races tight. Regions W & A should also be competitive. Region B…not so much.
Lamar: I think it's been interesting to see how close a lot of the votes have been thus far. I think recency bias has played a lot in some of the voting. A lot of the players that played in the early stages of the WNBA were hurt by the lack of marketing and publicity. That's why I think most of the Sweet 16 consists of players that played during an era where the WNBA started to establish footing.
Michael: I was a little shocked that Britney Griner beat out Seimone Augustus if I'm being honest. Personally, I'm hoping for more upsets because it creates more drama and draws more attention to the tournament as a whole!
Q: Final question, do you see any potential upsets happening? Do you see a #1 seed falling?
Aneela: Yes. I forsee that in the Region B where I can see the #1 seed falling to the #2 seed. Other than that, it will be very close. It will be very tough, no doubt about it.
Lamar: I think Lauren Jackson has the best chance of getting upset in her side of the bracket. Both EDD and Coop have big fanbases and are very accomplished players. EDD just won a championship last year and arguably is pretty comparable in talent to Jackson.
Michael: I could see Tina Thompson beating out Sue Bird. I also think that Tamika Catchings will upset Maya Moore.
Nathan: I personally wouldn't pick any No. 1 seeds to get upset, but I think I could see a case with a Lauren Jackson loss to Elena Delle Donne and a Lisa Leslie loss to Sue Bird because current popularity in the WNBA.
Diana Taurasi, Lauren Jackson, Lisa Leslie, Maya Moore, wnba greatest player of all time

Venlafaxine and Photosensitivity
Prescriber Update 37(1): 8
Patients taking medicines that can cause photosensitivity reactions should:
Cover up with dark and closely-woven clothing
Wear a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirts and trousers
Use topical sunscreen agents with a very high Sun Protection Factor (SPF 50+), that are water resistant and broad spectrum.
The Centre for Adverse Reactions Monitoring (CARM) has received four reports of a photosensitivity reaction in association with venlafaxine. In the most recent case, the photosensitivity reaction started after the dose was increased. In all cases, the photosensitivity reaction was reported to have started either in the same month or in the month after the patient started venlafaxine treatment.
Photosensitivity reactions typically appear as unexpected sunburn or a dry or blistering rash on sun-exposed skin, which may or may not be itchy. The most commonly affected areas are the face, neck, arms, backs of hands, lower legs and feet1.
Photosensitivity reactions are an expected uncommon adverse effect of the anti-depressant venlafaxine (estimated to occur at frequencies of ≥0.1% and <1%)2.
The New Zealand Dermatological Society recommends patients taking medicines that can cause photosensitivity reactions1.
Cover up with dark and closely-woven clothing.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirts and trousers.
Please continue to report any adverse reactions to venlafaxine, and any other medicines, to CARM. Reports can be submitted on paper or electronically (https://nzphvc.otago.ac.nz/).
