Q: Return unique index ajax I have code which change photos every x seconds.
My jQuery code:

setInterval("rotator();",4000);

function rotator(){
  var i = 0;
  var zdjecie = '';
  $('#rotate').html('');
    while(i<4){
        $.post('http://patwoj.hekko24.pl/rotator/content.php', function(data){
                       var wstaw='

';
                       $('#rotate').append(wstaw);
                       return data;
        });
        i++;
    }
}

And code of my PHP
<?php
 $dir = 'images/';
 $files = scandir($dir);
 unset($files[0]);
 unset($files[1]);
 $max = max(array_keys($files));
 $los = rand(2,$max);
 print_r($files[$los]);

?>
Records aren't unique (sometimes it shows 2 the same images).
Is it possible to change it?
This is my site:
http://patwoj.hekko24.pl/rotator/

A: You better control the randomness of your images from within the server and gell all 4 of them in a single ajax call:
setInterval("rotator();",4000);

function rotator() {
  $('#rotate').html('');
  $.post('http://patwoj.hekko24.pl/rotator/content.php', function(data){
    for(i=0;i<data.length;i++) {
      var wstaw='

';
      $('#rotate').append(wstaw);
    }
  });
}

And your content.php:
<?php
 $dir = 'images/';
 $files = scandir($dir);
 unset($files[0]);
 unset($files[1]);
 $rand_imgs_json = json_encode(array_rand($files, 4));
 header("Content-type: application/json");
 echo $rand_imgs_json;
?>

A: For each file name in your images directory you should store time() timestamp when it was last shown.
Then for each request take those with oldest timestamps saved. Take them more then you need at once, and randomly select those for showing. Store time() timestamp for selected files, show them. Done.
You will have different files shown each time, and they will not repeatedly be shown ever.
P.S.: You can store timestamps in a lots of manners, but if you already use database connection for some other reason for this site - you'd better prefer database table which will have 2 fields - filename varchar UNIQUE, tm timestamp index. Then just make request to database ordering data by tm DESC LIMIT 2x count of images needed at once. You'd also have to manage INSERT/UPDATE for that table correctly.

A: use something like
setInterval("rotator();",4000);

function rotator(){
  var i = 0;
  var zdjecie = []; // MODIFIED
  $('#rotate').html('');
    while(i<4){
        $.post('http://patwoj.hekko24.pl/rotator/content.php', function(data){

                       // ADDED LINE BELOW
                       if(zdjecie.indexOf(data) < 0) {
                           var wstaw='

';
                           $('#rotate').append(wstaw);
                           zdjecie.push(data);
                           i++;
                        }

        });

    }
}

You can push the data recieved in an array named zdjecie only when that data does not exists already in the array. Also increment the variable i when this happends. So that increment is only done when there is unique data available. In the end you will get unique data only.

This movie was incredibly fun and a real thrill ride. I enjoyed the heck out of it. Unfortunately, it's a film that isn't clearly defined in it's genre…come to think of it, this isn't the first of it's kind…there have been several gender-benders…the only one coming to mind at this moment though is the other science fiction-action picture about cloning…The Sixth Day. The ads were geared towards Michael Bay's fan base…and he delivers a satisfying action picture, but also (in my opinion) earns his stripes as a director here. True science fiction and action combined is more about the philosophy and the special effects, but there are important/well-acted moments that I attribute not only to Ewan McGregor (anybody who pulls off a decent "acting with himself" scene deserves major props), Scarlett Johansson , Djimon Hounsou, Sean Bean and the ensemble cast but to Michael Bay. The biggest problem is that everybody is set on hating it (based on it's domestic box office) and that's just so wrong! It's a great thriller/science fiction/action picture! Go see it now!
The majority of the film is spent as one of those bizarre chase movies where the leads are constantly trying to escape and outwit The Great Machine…to be more than cogs in life…(again with the clichés…I know, I know!), but the tension of the film is pulled off in a rather splendiferous manner and makes for one hell of a ride. The futuristic technology is based on solid concepts of reality which makes this version of 2019 all the more palatable and all the more relatable. You know, it's weird, but the more I think about it, the more I think the film is an improvement on the futuristic situation presented in The Sixth Day. It's like this movie was the early period in the Sixth Day universe. Well, go see this'un first and then see Sixth Day and see if it makes any sense. But go see it! And hurry…it's most likely going, going, gone due to box office receipts of under 20 million for the first week and a half!

(below) The following video contains a version of the recording that is noticeably slower than that in the video above. It is consequently about 14 seconds longer, roughly 2:46 vs. 2:32 (about 9.2% longer). The length of this slower version is closer to the length given on the Philips 40313 label (2:50). Which, if either, represents the original speed?


multiple other feelings and emotions.
3. Response- Some Autistics(definitely me) are now using Negative responses to cope and manage these feelings, I use food to block out the feelings and emotions to take my mind away from the triggers, and pick my fingers until they are sore. Some Autistics will have all different negative rituals that will be the response, for me it feels out of my control like a compulsion. This spiral of negative feelings can lasts hours, days, weeks even months.
4. Cycle starts again- I start to come out of the negative response and so it starts again.
I have been trapped in this cycle most of my life I am not sure if neurotypical(non Autistics) go through this, perhaps they do but I think like most situations Autistics feel this more intensely and for longer periods of times, as processing time takes longer for Autistics. I think Autistics have higher levels of anxiety so perhaps situations that bother and stress Autistics don't stress neurotypical(non Autistics) why would Autistics experience these situation like neurotypicals as Autistics neurology is different.
I have been thinking about this cycle for so long and so want to break this negative way of being, I think seeing triggers as triggers is the way to beat this. Dealing with the trigger understanding the trigger needs to happen rather than trying not to face difficult feeling and emotions, I need to face the triggers by using the positive part of the cycle, using the things that make me feel good. Keep this cycle out in view regularly look at the cycle and understand it is a learnt cycle, when triggers happen pick a positive experience from the list of things that make you feel good. Remember the negative feelings don't work they don't help! But the positive experiences do help! Will this be easy sometimes yes other times NO! is it worth trying to do do this YES! We need to empower the next generation of Autistics to not fall into this cycle, look at the cycles they are in and help them to rebuild the cycle and build a positive cycle.
Change is hard but I know doing what I am doing is feeding my triggers and it's never made me feel better, what if the positive replacement works…….

School choice discussion in Indianapolis
The Indy Star has the story:
Will Indy adopt central enrollment system for schools?
"A group is developing a one-stop enrollment system for Indianapolis schools but will the city's largest education provider take part?
Indianapolis Public Schools leaders are weighing whether to join Enroll Indy, a nonprofit with plans to launch a unified enrollment process for IPS schools and charter schools within the district's boundaries by next year.
The goal: Help parents find a school for their children in a city with growing options that feature charter schools, innovation network schools, magnet programs and more.
So far, IPS hasn't made any commitments, though moving toward such a system is among the district's priorities, IPS Superintendent Lewis Ferebee said.
"Whether Enroll Indy is the best fit for IPS to go down that path is to be determined," Ferebee told IndyStar. "The concept itself could definitely benefit our families."
Advocates for a central enrollment system say the way parents now shop for schools is disorganized. To find the best fit, parents must juggle different application deadlines and know what programs are out there, a daunting task with the city now playing host to more than 40 charter schools.
Wealthier families can find the process easier to navigate, placing lower-income families at a disadvantage, organizers say.
"If we're going to say we have choice," said Caitlin Hannon, Enroll Indy's founder, "everybody should have equitable access to that choice."
Hannon, a former IPS School Board member, said the group is hoping to launch its first application process next fall for the 2018-19 school year. But first it needs buy-in from the city's schools, and Hannon started making her pitch to IPS this month.
A 2015 report by the Institute for Innovation in Public School Choice found that the city's schools are in "intense competition to enroll students."
"There is no incentive for IPS, for example, to tell parents about charter schools. Or for Ball State University to ensure families understand the IPS magnet school application," according to the report. "In both cases, doing so would not be in their best self-interest. For families, though the distinction between authorizers is less important. Parents are looking for the best school for their child, regardless of who runs it. For them, not having the information in one easy-to-access place doesn't make sense."
Families would apply through Enroll Indy to any participating school, where they'd rank their school preferences and be matched with a program.
Hannon said families would be asked their priorities, such as location and where siblings attend. Students are then matched to the school "they want the most that they can get into, based on those priorities," Hannon said.
"I like to explain it as all schools lotteries happening at the same moment…," she said.
An analysis of a similar system run in Denver Public Schools found not enough seats existed in high-performing schools to serve demand. That meant students often were assigned to lower-performing schools than initially requested.
But the system would come with perks, Hannon said. Parents would no longer have to hold spots for their children at multiple schools, making it easier for administrators to plan staffing needs...."

Fee includes registration and 1 costume. Additional costumes $65 each.
Combo III dancers perform TWO routines, one tap and one ballet. Instructors choose a two-in-one costume, so the fee will not change.
Hip Pop Combo dancers will perform one hip hop/jazz routine.
Technique Levels I-IV will have a recital routine for EACH class (ballet, tap, and jazz). MOST jazz and tap classes will use a two-in-one costume; please see teacher or front desk for details. If a dancer wants to perform in all three classes, they will pay the standard fee (based on month that they enroll) PLUS an extra $65 costume fee (regardless of month enrolled).
Specialty Classes Hip Hop and Lyrical will all have recital routines.


Painful does not begin to describe how laborious it seems, after using more modern kit.
Perform a general run updates against the intervening changes prior to 4.8 -- (seemingly 4.7 and intervening updates when I perform this testing) -- lots there, but get it close to current.
Just kickin' down the cobble stones.

Q: $A, B, C$ hermitian matrix and $C \geq 0, A \leq B$. Then, $tr(CA) \leq tr(CB)$
Let $A, B, C$ be Hermitian matrix and $C \geq 0, A \leq  B$. Then, $$tr(CA) \leq tr(CB)$$

My attempt:
As we have that $C \geq 0$ and $B - A \geq 0$ and trace is a linear operator, then we just need to show that $tr(CB - CA) \geq 0$. We also know that $tr(M)$ is the sum of its eigenvalues, so let $\lambda_1, ..., \lambda_n$ be the eigenvalues of $CB - CA$. Then, our problem reduces to show that $\sum_{i=1}^n \lambda_i \geq 0$.
Can someone help me? Thank you!

A: $\text{tr}(C(B-A)) = \text{tr}(C^{1/2} (B-A) C^{1/2}) \ge 0$, where $C^{1/2}$ is the positive semidefinite square root of $C$.

5 of The Best ROM Hacks for Classic Games You Should Check Out
Retro gaming has never been more popular. With single board computers like the Raspberry Pi and software like RetroPie and RecalBox making revisiting old favorites affordable and easy, it's safe to say that old school gaming is entering a renaissance period.
Playing your old games can be a great way to tap into nostalgia. But what happens when you beat all your old favorites again? Is retro gaming destined to be just a novelty? Have no fear, your emulation machine is about to get a new lease on life with ROM hacks of classic games.
What Is a ROM?
In the context of video game emulation, the term "ROM" is frequently used to refer to a digital copy of a game.
Video game emulation and ROMs fall in to a legal gray area. Even though many older games have been discontinued and are no longer manufactured, their copyrights often remain. This means that downloading game ROMs that you do not own is illegal. For that reason we will not be linking to any sites that host ROM files.
What Is a ROM Hack?
Despite the name, ROM hacking isn't really "hacking" at all. In fact, it is merely editing. Simply put, ROM hacking is the modification of a game's code.
Ever since video game emulation took off in the 90s, fans have been tinkering with game code for a variety of reasons. ROM hackers can alter levels, gameplay, graphics, dialogue, music and more. In some cases, dedicated fans can even go so far as to create an entirely original game using the original game's engine and assets.
Note: ROM hacking, much like video game emulation itself, resides in a legal grey area. As a result, the majority of the ROM hacks available are unauthorized. For that reason we will not be providing direct links to any of the hacks listed below.
In regards to the hacks listed below, this is far from a "definitive" list of the best ROM hacks. The hacks mentioned below are considered to be some of the best and most polished ROM hacks around.
1. Mario Adventure
NES games are popular to hack due to their relative simplicity compared to later consoles. Because of this, there are a lot of NES ROM hacks out there. As we all know, quantity doesn't equate to quality. Mario Adventure, however, is considered to be one of the greatest NES ROM hacks of all time. Mario Adventure is a complete reworking of the best-selling Super Mario Bros. 3 featuring all new levels, enemies and power-ups. In addition, Mario Adventure includes different weather patterns and boss battles on every stage to up the ante.
2. Super Metroid Redesign
Considered one of the best video games of all time, Super Metroid sees players exploring a mysterious alien planet. Players battle strange creatures and acquire new weapons and abilities to help them succeed. The formula was so popular that the Metroid franchise inspired an entire sub-genre of games called "Metroidvania." Super Metroid Redesign alters the physics of the game, making them more realistic and less "floaty." The hack also significantly increases the size of the map, giving players more opportunity to explore and discover new items.
3. The Legend of Zelda: Parallel Worlds
A hack of the seminal SNES game, "A Link to the Past," Parallel Worlds is a complete overhaul of the game. Everything from the overworld to the dungeons is brand new. Furthermore, Parallel Worlds features an original storyline that does the classic series justice. Be aware that this hack is not for the faint of heart! Parallel Worlds ratchets up the difficulty significantly which can result in even the most seasoned Zelda fan rage quitting. Fortunately, for those who would like to experience this unique chapter in the Zelda mythology, there is an easier version available called "Parallel Worlds Remodel."
4. Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy
It may be hard to believe, but back in the 90s the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games were incredibly controversial. The series features digitized sprites doling out punishment as buckets of pixelated blood splashed across the screen. This "graphic" depiction of violence was partly responsible for the creation of the ESRB ratings system. Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy combines all playable characters from the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive versions of Mortal Kombat 1, 2 and 3 into a single game. Furthermore, the hack features new backgrounds, combos and finishing moves.
5. Mario Kart R
The original Mario Kart for the SNES has spawned a slew of sequels and imitators. Mario Kart R is a hack of the granddaddy of kart racers bringing back the simplicity of the 16-bit era. This time around, however, there are brand new tracks and a remixed soundtrack to keep things fresh. In addition, this hack features an entirely new playable character: everyone's favourite pink marshmallow glutton, Kirby.

Naomi Osaka & LeBron James's SpringHill Are Starting a Media Company Together
PhenomenalMAG Staff | Celebrity News
Naomi Osaka, a tennis prodigy, is creating a media venture alongside LeBron James and Maverick Carter's The SpringHill Company.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Osaka and her longtime agent and business partner Stuart Duguid are in charge of the Hana Kuma production company. In May, Osaka and Duguid unveiled their own banner for athlete representation.
Hana Kuma (hana means "flower" and kuma means "bear" in Japanese) "will generate stories that are culturally specific yet universal to all audiences; humorous and courageous in its approach to tackle significant issues of society," the business claims.
According to Osaka, there has been an explosion of people of color who have access to resources and a sizable platform. "Content has a more global perspective in the streaming age. The success of television across Asia, Europe, and Latin America is evidence that something unique may also be widespread. My own experience is evidence of that. I'm quite excited about what Hana Kuma is becoming. To make uncommon viewpoints seem universal and to inspire people along the way, we will bring stories to life.
Additionally, it already has a number of projects in the works, one of which is an Epix-based documentary series for which Osaka, James, and Carter will serve as executive producers.
The first project under the Hana Kuma banner will be MINK!, an upcoming New York Times Op-Doc from director Ben Proudfoot about Patsy Mink, the first woman of color elected to Congress and the author and sponsor of Title IX, which forbade sex-based discrimination in schools receiving government funding.
Hana Kuma's head of development will be Chavonne LeNoir, who most recently oversaw Vice Media's unscripted division and previously worked at Disney and MGM.
Hana Kuma will receive production, development, and other strategic resources from SpringHill, continuing a strategy of developing a business model "to center athletes as creators" and "to act as an incubator for athletes who want to create and story tell beyond their sport in creative, impactful, and thought-provoking ways," the company says.
In a deal that valued Carter and James' business at $725 million, SpringHill received a fresh amount of funding from Nike, RedBird Capital, and Epic Games last year. Giving SpringHill the funds it required to make investments in fresh artists was a major focus of that financing.
Celebrity-driven production companies have seen a surge in investment in recent years, spearheaded by businesses like SpringHill, Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine, and Will and Jada Pinkett-Overbrook. Smith's These media firms are sometimes viewed as less risky than many alternatives due to their readiness to sell to any network or streaming service and the high-profile names associated with the projects.

When you are doing online marketing, what's the one thing you really are trying to get to happen? You're trying to get people to do something on your site, correct? That something could be completing a purchase, completing a form, downloading something, subscribing. That's the entire goal of any marketer.
Whether something is happening or not on your site, you'll know about it by looking at the data within your analytics. If you aren't getting the reactions you want form your site, you can easily see that lack of interaction.
These four things are what we would call low converting web page problems. There is no clear cut way to find out exactly what's wrong with these particular pages, so what do you do to figure it out? Brian Massey has written a post for Marketing Land that, using science talk, will help you find out what's going on with your low scoring pages.

Brian Blessed – People of Yorkshire Volume 7
Brian Blessed is a much-loved actor, whose unmistakable presence on stage and screen have captivated audiences throughout the world.
Born in the mining community of Goldthorpe on 9th October 1936, he managed to avoid the inevitability of working down the pit through his acting talent displayed in local school productions.
His coal-miner father, William Blessed was involved in an industrial accident, which led Brian to leave school early and undertake a series of jobs to help support his family, including a plasterer and undertaker's assistant. Eventually Blessed h managed to escape and pursue his acting dream at the Old Vic Theatre School in Bristol. Here he met another famous larger than life Yorkshire actor called Patrick Stewart.
Blessed's talents were soon recognised and one of his first roles quickly came in the hugely popular 1960s TV series, "Z Cars," as PC Fancy Smith. Other minor roles followed, including The Avengers (1967-9) and Randall and Hopkirk (deceased) (1969.) He also appeared on stage at London's Phoenix Theatre in "Incident at Vichy."

The 1970s were to make Brian Blessed a household name with several appearances in key TV series throughout this decade. One of which was in "I Claudius," as Augustus, alongside his old friend, Patrick Stewart and Derek Jacoboi.
His large stage presence and unmistakable booming voice made Blessed the ideal actor to take on the role of both monarchs and villains. In 1980 he was cast in the role of Prince Vultan in the cult classic, "Flash Gordon," an
adaptation of the comics designed by Alex Raymond. His exuberant performance and memorable lines, such as, "Gordon's Alive?" and "Who wants to live forever?" made it a career-defining role and lead to many more imposing future castings. Queen, who did the memorable soundtrack to this film, used the latter phrase as a title for their 1986 hit. It is said that during his childhood, Blessed was a fan of the Flash Gordon comics. He and his friends acted out scenes from these stories in the playground and Blessed would always play Prince Vultan, the very role he would undertake several years later.
In 1981 Blessed took to the stage as he joined the Andrew Lloyd Webber production, "Cats," as two of the felines, "Bustopher Jones and "Old Deuteronomy." He was also nominated for "Best Actor" at the Olivier Awards of 1981 for these roles.
The persona of Brian Blessed as a larger than life character also lent itself well to comedy acting. He starred as the fictitious King Richard IV in the first series of Blackadder, alongside Rowan Atkinson.
One of Blessed's most famous movie roles, after Flash, was in the blockbuster, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (1991). In this film he played Lord Locksley, alongside Kevin Costner, Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater.
Another obvious vehicle for Blessed's talents was Shakespearean acting. He starred in several bard adaptations throughout the 80s and 90s. In 1989 he played the Duke of Exeter in Henry V and followed this with roles in "Much ado About Nothing (1993), Hamlet (1996) and Macbeth (1997). One of his biggest Shakesperian roles was in the film adaptation of King Lear (1999) where his attributes more than satisfied the lead role of an angry and troubled monarch.
In Blessed's advancing years he has turned, like many actors of his generation, into voice acting and cameo roles. The 2000s saw him provide his now legendary voice to several productions. This included "Star Wars, The Phantom Menace" (1999) as the voice of Rugor Noss and the BBC's "The Tamworth Two (2004)," the story of runaway pigs from an abattoir in the Midlands town. He has also more recently lent his vocal talents to animation in the shape of "Grampy Rabbit," in the children's cartoon Peppa Pig, from 2006-10 and reignited his role as Prince Vultan during an episode of "Family Guy," in 2008. His current vocation is on the children's cartoon, "Henry Hugglemonster," of which he voices the aptly named Eduardo Enoromonster.
His narration has also been used in several video games, including the Invizimals franchise and another called, "War of The Roses," in 2012.
Off-stage Brian Blessed has also made some other notable achievements in exploration. He is currently the oldest man to have walked to the magnetic North Pole and has attempted to climb Mount Everest three times. More recently he appeared on
the BBC series, "Who Do You Think You Are," which traced his family roots from London to the Lincolnshire town of Brigg.
In January 2015, while playing a quintessential Blessed role, King Lear, he collapsed on stage and was forced to withdraw from the production on doctor's orders. Undeterred Blessed is a fully trained cosmonaut and has been to the International Space Station.
Brian Blessed is a much loved actor, whose large presence, booming voice and wonderful cameo appearances have lit up many a production on stage and screen.

Kitchen at Duff House ?
When you visit Duff House nowadays you can enjoy a light lunch or afternoon tea in the Tearoom – behind which is a reasonable kitchen, installed only in the mid-1990s when the House was renovated.
The original William Adam design for Duff House included a 30ft x 35ft kitchen in the west wing, plus a Bakehouse, Larder and a number of other storerooms, as well as offices. As is well known unfortunately the wings were never built; consequently Duff House was left without a functioning kitchen. This must have made life quite difficult to live there, and hence James the 2nd Earl Fife instructed for a kitchen to be built in the 1770's. He decreed that it should be built with a gap of 6 feet from the east side of the House, so that in the event of a fire the House was not at risk. This may not have been the first kitchen of course.
The earliest view of a building to the east was painted about 1800 by Hugh Williams, but this shows a building substantially more than 6ft from the main House. Perhaps it was artistic licence, because an engraving from 1807 shows a similar looking building in the more expected position. It certainly isn't 900 sqft of kitchen as William Adam had designed but no doubt it was functional. The next image of a building there is 1822 – now in the time of the 4th Earl Fife – which shows something larger. Reportedly James the 4th Earl liked entertaining and although he was not living permanently at Duff House until 1833, more facilities would no doubt have been helpful.
In 1845 the Fife Arms Hotel was completed on Low Street, so that guests could be properly accommodated. The first substantial kitchen facilities at Duff House itself were in the 1870 east wing – which lasted until the 1950s when the structure (bombed in 1940 during it's time as Prisoner of War Camp No 5) was demolished.
No reported trace was found of the 1770 kitchen nor the early 18th century kitchen when the House was refurbished in the 1990s. The foundations of the 1870 east wing are still in place as were found during the building of the war memorial and the dry spell of 2018, but no hint of the earlier kitchens is known.

Question: I think I am paying too much property tax. Is there anything I can do?
Answer: Unfortunately by the time you receive your tax bill, there is little you can do, but there are some things to check on your bill. Check your bill to be sure you are receiving the exemptions you are entitled to; check the fair cash value to see if it makes sense; confirm the property address to be sure you are looking at the right tax bill. If all of this information is correct, then your bill is probably correct as well. You may need to look to your taxing districts for answers.
The tax rates applied to your bill are determined by your taxing districts. They meet regularly to set budgets and issue levies to request money from the County Clerk. These meetings must be published in a local newspaper, and must be open to the public. You have a right to attend these meetings to find out what the money they receive is used for. Attending these meetings regularly, expressing your concerns, and holding board members accountable at the ballot box may be your best, and possibly the only means of controlling how much tax you must pay.
There are limits that govern the rate at which levies can increase. The Property Tax Extension Limit Law (PTELL) slows the growth of revenues to taxing districts when property values are increasing faster than the rate of inflation. Increases in property tax extensions are limited to the lesser of 5%, or the increase in the national Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the year preceding the levy year. For more details, go to http://tax.illinois.gov/Publications/PIOs/PIO-62.pdf.
Prior to tax bills being mailed out, you can take your concerns to Board of Review. Assessment complaints are accepted during the 30 days following publication of assessments in the local newspaper. Assessment Complaint forms and Rules & Procedures can be found at the county website, www.jeffersoncountyillinois.com, under Resource Center and then Applications & Forms.


If you've been to Annual Conference Session in Springfield, you can picture what the WOW youth rally is like, only with the lights turned way down, and the music turned way up. And more comedians. And audience participation. And inflatable competitions of athleticism.
So maybe it isn't that much like Annual Conference Session. But one way the two events, both of which happen to be located at the Expo Center in Springfield, are alike is the top reason people say they enjoy attending the event – to experience the connectional church first-hand.
Cody Wesche, an 18-year-old from Central UMC in Kansas City, had been to WOW three times before. "I like gathering with youth from all-over Missouri," he said.
Haley Mitchell from Kirkwood UMC echoed that sentiment. "I like seeing everyone coming together in one place," she said.
Her friend Rachel Martin, also from Richland, likes the free-flowing nature of the event. "When the music opened the first session there were beach balls flying around, people going down front to dance, people circling the room in congo lines – it's great how everyone can just do their own thing," she said.
There were 190 Missouri Conference churches that sent 2,081 people to WOW January 24 – 25 this year. That's more churches than last year's 168, but slightly fewer people than last year's 2,122, indicating smaller group sizes.
Grace UMC in Lee's Summit had 23 youth and seven adults at WOW. Student ministry director Stephanie Smith has been participating in the event for several years. She said many of the same youth come back each year. She appreciates the work that goes into the event by the Conference Council on Youth Ministry (the primary organizers of the event) and the Conference staff.
Will Rieneke, from Manchester UMC, was a CCYM youth worker at the event. He's been to WOW several times, the last three as part of CCYM.
"This is a great opportunity for a lot of kids to find God," he said.
Andrew Tucker of Wright City was another CCYM member on hand to make sure things were running smoothly. He likes the connection of the event.
"I like meeting up with others who share my faith, and just having fun with everyone," he said.
Denis Banks was worship leader. He spoke to the theme for the event – Ascent.
Banks referred to the scripture Joshua 1: 9, which reads "I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." He ended his opening talk by singing verses from Psalm 121 and 122.
The WOW weekend offered multiple opportunities for the youth to split up into small workshop sessions. One session about going to college was offered by Rev. Lucas Endicott, director of the Center of Faith and Service at Central Methodist University in Fayette. Endicott confessed that although he graduated with a 4.0 grade point average, he sought out easy classes.
"When I look back at that time I think 'What a waste', because I wasn't really trying at all," he said. "You will learn a lot more from a difficult C than you do from an easy A." He also encouraged the high school students to be mindful of their experience while in college.
Karen Hayden, Missouri Conference director of Pastoral Excellence, led workshops on answering the call to ministry for both youth and youth leaders. She referred to the scriptures 1 Samuel chapter 3, verses 3-10, and Luke chapter 19, verses 1-10.
Hayden expressed that it is important for the future of the church to have people step up to the task of encouraging people to consider ministry as a vocation.
Dr. Doug Samples, professor of Pastoral Ministry at Southern Nazarene University, was also leading workshops that addressed following God's call. He discussed how reluctant Moses was to follow God's call, arguing with God that he wasn't suited to the task.


Despite the noticeable trepidation due to the impending change in presidency in Nigeria, numerous discussions were held at the RM trade fair stand. The majority of the inquiries were from the mining industry, while many trade fair visitors were also interested in natural rock applications.
The HERMES business award is the annual prize for the most successful company in Austria. The HERMES jury chose RUBBLE MASTER as the winner in the International category based on key performance indicators.
RUBBLE MASTER and Maximus hosted a welcome party at the company's location in Dungannon to celebrate the start of their future together. 250 guests took the opportunity to get to know the company and the RUBBLE MASTER employees in a relaxed atmosphere.
At the Upper Austrian Chamber of Commerce Africa Day the focus was on the development of the continent and the opportunities for Upper Austrian companies. Christian Windhager, the ASM responsible at RUBBLE MASTER, shared the company's expertise in the course of a podium discussion.
Flanders Quarry opts for RM 80GO!

An excellent example of a wide boottop done by William Garden on his Vega design.
The boottop line is screwed up more often than not…….very few get it right….
There is no simple formula…..this is art…..the boottop should be curved top and bottom (not a straight line in profile). The lower edge is curved less than the top…..the amount depends on the look of the boat, more sheer equals more curve in the boottop. The low point (in profile) of each curve is not midships but some place aft of that, usually about station #7, but not always…….
In a 30′ boat I would start the lower edge with about 3″ above DWL at the stern, 2.5″ at #7, and 4″ at the stem, and make the width about 3.5″ at the stern, 2.75″ at the low point, and perhaps 4.5″ at the stem…..It's hard to judge without seeing the boat.
A rough rule of thumb is that the boottop width (height in profile) is equal to the distance above DWL. But you need to be careful about this aft if the boat has a wide stern with lots of horizontal (modern sailing boat) width. Then the line that's narrow in profile becomes huge in plan…….
Here's Bob Harris's (for S&S) example of a just right boottop width on a high-sided boat, the Swan 65′.
I see so many piggy looking boats whose looks could be improved enormously by simply working on the boottop…..usually it's the boottop is too low or too small (skinny, could be higher), or too straight, or non-existent…..making it higher (above waterline) and wider is rarely wrong…..especially on modern high-freeboard hulls. Really high freeboard hulls can benefit from making the boottop twice (or more) as wide (high) as normal, then adding a sheerstrake in the same colour transforms the boat.
This is why formulas don't work…..
On flat sheered powerboats I start aft with the boottop parallel top and bottom and to the waterline, then gradually curve it up to the stem, again more curve in the top than the bottom edge……..in those days we provided a table of offsets for the boottop top and bottom edges….I still do that on occasion…..Today Hinckley use two narrow dead straight parallel white lines…..which just illustrates where the company has gone……..
As for those who do get it…….Gary Mull was a master at boottops, if you look at his drawings the boottop appears too curved…but he was compensating for perspective and they come out perfect IRL. German Frers also always got it right back when he was still doing the drawing….today the help have followed everyone else to a bunch a straight lines easily done (afterthought) in CAD…….
Going through the S&S book The Best of The Best I find that, like almost everyone else, they got it wrong (on the drawing) more often than not. Funny thing is both Mull and Frers trained at S&S, as did Dave Pedrick, another guy who did get it right in most drawings I've seen. LF Herreshoff's drawings show some development in the drawing of boottops, in his early work there is just a sheered top to the anti-fouling…..then in later years, a thin parallel paint line (also sheered) at the top of the anti-foul…..I haven't come across a sheered boottop by him…….

Cloudy Bay celebrates it's 30th anniversary
In 1984 a group of Kiwis carried Sauvignon Blanc back from their land when they visited the Cape Mentelle winery in Margaret River a lesser know wine region in Australia then. David Hohnen the owner of the winery who was already creating ripples with his Cabernets tasted their wines and the rest is history! David Hohnen in 1985 launched the Cloudy Bay in Marlborough which eventually placed New Zealand Sauvignons on the world wine map and were often touted as an answer to the French from the Loire valley. Cloudy Bay now owned by the LVMH group is available in 30 countries and continues to grow as it celebrates 30th year in business. We celebrated their glorious 30 with Bruno Yvon the Managing Director of Moet Hennessy India who hosted us for a dinner in Vetro at the Oberoi Hotel.
Their flagship Sauvignon Blanc 2014 began the proceedings for the evening, it revealed elderflower, subtle green pepper notes with a burst of fruit with moderate acidity, the hall mark of a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc. Cloudy Bay took its name from a place located in the eastern end the Wairau Valley in Marlborough and it was named so by Captain Cook who also discovered Australia. Wairau Valley where most of the Cloudy Bay vineyards are situated also enjoys the most number of sunshine hours in New Zealand, it helps in the extended ripening season resulting in more flavours.
The second wine of the evening was the Te Koko 2011, a barrel fermented Sauvignon Blanc. It was elegant, suave and had depth to it. What impressed us was the symphony of the varietal characteristics and the oak influence. This was beautifully paired with a smoked cauliflower soup. Oak aging of sauvignon blancs was a popular styles in the 80's and then the unwooded trend came in and still continues. Expressions like Te Koko are done only when they really see the potential in the fruit to take the might of the oak. Fume Blanc, they are popularly called in the US.
Chardonnay is the third most popular in the Marlborough region after Sauvignon and Pinot Noir and the Cloudy Bay's 2012 expression had restrained oak with citrus and stoned fruits to the fore. It paired with gnocchi in an aromatic bell pepper sauce; the caramelized onions added some sweetness to the sauce which played well with the refreshing acidity in the wine. The menu put together by Chef Adriano Baldassare and Rohan Jelkie the Brand Ambassador of Moet Hennessy in India was showing up very well indeed.
We ended the evening with a fruity 2013 Pinot Noir with some hint of tobacco and to compliment it were a range of cheeses, the Italian Gorgonzola, Provolone and Taleggio, an English Cheddar and the French Brie. The Kiwi Pinot Noir again akin to the Sauvignon Blanc is the new world's answer to the big daddies of the old world and the Indian palates are very much ready for this style. Cloudy Bay to mark the 30th has come up with special editions of their Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir to reflect upon the last 29 vintages and to evolve further.
Last thoughts, Marlborough has approximately 109 wineries and they continue to flourish, amidst such stiff competition Cloudy Bay has to keep up their 1985 passion of wine making and we wish them good for their 4th decade in business!!!

As we head into the 2014 wedding season the projected trends are becoming more concrete in terms of colors, themes and details for weddings. Lace and burlap is still extremely popular among brides whose weddings fall into the following categories: vintage, country chic, rustic, barn weddings and romantic but casual outdoor affairs.
Burlap was the #1 stem wrap of choice for all the weddings I did last year. Bridesmaid's bouquets were wrapped with burlap while most of the bridal bouquets were a combination of burlap and lace treatments. I also incorporated the burlap in corsages and boutonnieres so that the whole look was cohesive. Burlap can be used as table runners, banners or wrapped around vases. Adding lace to any of these adds romance and softens the look instantly.
Pantone Freesia is part of their Spring Fashion Report for 2014. Shades of yellow have been popular wedding colors and that trend will continue into this summer. Yellow and grey will continue to be seen for modern, chic weddings while the yellow & blue combination is often chosen for quaint, country weddings. For a spring wedding, pair yellow with paler shades of pink, green or lavender for a pastel palette or combine it with other bold colors of tangerine orange, coral or aqua for a bright, cheerful affair.
This adorable couple, Jessica and Tim, held their wedding at the Cloverdale Chapel in Creswell, OR with their reception at the school house next door. Although they lived out of state, Jessica and Tim choice to say "I do" here in Lane County where they have family. They were such a sweet couple and their love was captured beautifully by Eugene photographer Jamie Zanotti. It was our first chance to work with Jamie and we were stunned by her level of professionalism and speed in addition to the amazing photography. All photos are shown with permission from Jamie Zanotti. Check out her website here.
If you're planning a fall wedding the season is quickly approaching. The colors in autumn are so gorgeous and September/October weddings here in Oregon tend to be fantastic. Yes, the weather in October is a bit dicey…but the leaves!! So pretty. Here are some ideas and inspiration for wedding bouquets if you are exchanging vows this fall.

Mayo researchers link vaping illness to toxic inhalation
The finding undercuts some theories linking the outbreak of severe lung injuries to marijuana or nicotine.
By Jeremy Olson Star Tribune
October 3, 2019 — 9:34am
New research from Mayo Clinic suggests that the nation's outbreak of vaping-related lung injuries is due to people inhaling toxic substances — akin to workers who breathe fumes from chemical spills, or World War I soldiers exposed to mustard gas.
The finding by Mayo's consulting pathology lab in Arizona is based on a first-ever examination of 17 biopsies of patients with vaping-associated lung injuries. While the role of chemical inhalation might sound obvious, the finding is important because it contradicts a popular theory that these cases were caused by oil or lipid contamination in the lungs.
"It seems to be some kind of direct chemical injury, similar to what one might see with exposures to toxic chemical fumes, poisonous gases and toxic agents," said Dr. Brandon Larsen, a surgical pathologist at Mayo Clinic Arizona, who reported the findings Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine.
While the 17 biopsies found macrophages — white blood cells that are dispatched to eat harmful contaminants — they found no large deposits of oil or lipids (a kind of fatty organic compound) in the lungs.
The national outbreak of vaping-related illnesses now includes 805 severe lung injuries and 12 deaths this year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In Minnesota, state health officials have reported one death and 59 confirmed or probable injuries, with another 32 cases under review. Many of the cases involved otherwise healthy teens and young adults who required hospital intensive care and respirators to maintain breathing.
Mayo doctors have contacted the CDC about whether their pathology findings will lead to an updated diagnostic definition of the vaping-associated lung injuries. Larsen stressed that the finding does not absolve any particular chemical or culprit, including the oils, vitamin E or other substances that are used to thicken vaping juice.
"Everything is still on the table," Larsen said. "I am skeptical that vitamin E is the sole culprit, if even the culprit at all. Maybe it's important, but I think we can't stop looking."
Mayo's findings also don't pin the blame on vaping illicit marijuana or its psychoactive component, THC, instead of legal nicotine e-cigarette products. Twelve of the cases in the report involved vapers who inhaled marijuana products. Two cases in the Mayo review involved deaths.
Minnesota health investigators have interviewed 29 of the state's lung-injured patients, and 27 have acknowledged vaping THC products. Two said they only vaped nicotine, but one was found to be in possession of a THC e-cigarette cartridge.
Despite the evidence implicating THC, state health officials aren't absolving legal nicotine products. Citing new survey data about rising e-cigarette use by Minnesota high school students, Gov. Tim Walz on Wednesday proposed heightened public education on the dangers of vaping in general, and he said his administration will consider legislation to raise the smoking age or ban the sale of flavored tobacco.
The 2019 edition of a student survey conducted by the state Health Department found a sharp increase in use of e-cigarettes, with 26.4% of 11th-graders saying they had vaped at least once in the prior month, up from 17.1% in 2016.
Mayo operates a pathology lab at its Scottsdale campus that has long consulted with doctors and provided second opinions about biopsy and test results. Larsen said it has actually received reports of vaping-associated lung injuries over the past two years, even though the current outbreak was only identified earlier this year. The existence of earlier cases casts doubt on the idea that the illnesses resulted from a new ingredient or type of vaping product or delivery device.
"It's probably a more complex problem," Larsen said. "It goes beyond one bad batch."
The theory that oils or lipids caused these injuries has persisted because biopsies aren't commonly ordered for these lung injury cases, Larsen said. It also takes a review of multiple biopsies to detect a pattern.
Pneumonia or lung injury caused by lipid oil contamination is somewhat rare — with some cases being reported among entertainers who perform fire-breathing and accidentally swallow kerosene. It has also been reported among seniors who use oily substances to clear their sinuses, Larsen said.
"Like they'll put a bunch of Vaseline in their noses and then they'll lie down to sleep," he said, "and the Vaseline will gurgle into their lungs."
Mayo is continuing to gather biopsies from lung-injury cases. Larsen said he hopes these findings will guide public policy that governs or restricts e-cigarettes, and the ongoing federal and state searches for the cause of the outbreak.
"What should we be looking for? What should we be focusing our efforts on?" he said. "This data says we should be looking for toxic chemical constituents in these materials."

In the 21st century, even small firms can reach customers located in different, often remote, parts of the world. In fact, internationalisation has become a common phenomenon that affects the majority of companies worldwide. Recent research emphasises that there are numerous determinants of a company's competitive advantage in the international business environment, including product quality, price, and market knowledge. Much less attention, however, has been paid to the role of business relationships.
The task of determining the impact of business relationships on performance poses a considerable challenge. In the book, business relationships are operationalised by a set of characteristics and determinants which influence a company's competitive advantage. The contributors here refer to these characteristics and determinants as components of the company's internationalisation maturity. It is argued that a higher level of internationalisation maturity increases the firm's performance.
The book includes both conceptual discussions on the role of firms' business relationships in the internationalisation process and results of extensive empirical studies. In order to verify the concept of a firm's internationalisation maturity, a mixed methodology was used, combining quantitative (almost 300 companies) and qualitative (40 case studies) research. As such, the book provides useful insights for academics, students of management and international business, and business practitioners.

A little translation. As far as I can tell, 52L isn't even a current MOS, so I think someone is just yanking some chains.
The ASVAB, Armed Forces Vocational Aptitude Battery, is a battery of tests designed to show, well, aptitude in several areas, in order to judge the likelihood that an enlistee will be successful in training in whatever specialty they enlist for. There are about half a dozen different scores such as General Technical and whatnot. And then there's the score that counts when you enlist. The "overall" score is from 1 to 99, roughly indicating the percentile one falls into in terms of IQ across the population. It's a cross between native intelligence and education. The minimum score for enlistment in the Army is 32.
There's long been a perception that the combat arms, Infantry, Armor, Artillery, Combat Engineer, etc, are jam packed with enlistees who scored in the lower tranches of the ASVAB. A common insult of a not so bright fellow soldier is to call him a CAT IV, for the lowest tranche of the ASVAB.
But here's the thing. Yes, combat arms, and the Infantry, take their fair share of folks who are not towering intellects. But oddly, there are a ton of people who are incredibly bright, scoring far, far above average, in the 90 percentile and above, who chose the Infantry.
Think about it. A lot of very bright young men go through high school and just aren't challenged. They live comfortable suburban lives, hear the tales of their elders, play sports maybe, and cruise through high school with little or no effort. But the summons of the trumpet is strong. They know they're smart, but do they know if they are men? What more traditional test of manhood is there than war?
Anecdotal evidence (and yes, I know the plural of anecdote is not "data"), when I was a recruiter, applicants with scores from 32-50 that enlisted tended to end up either in Field Artillery, Motor Transport, or other related support fields. Applicants with scores from 50-80 tended to end up in technical fields. With only one exception* can I recall an applicant with a score over 80 not joining the combat arms. He enlisted as a Blackhawk mechanic, became a crew chief, and enjoyed the heck out of it.
As my Bradley crossed the berm into Iraq at the opening of Desert Storm, the topic of conversation amongst the grunts in back was… Shakespeare.
*Women excepted, of course. The field of choice for very high scoring women was either Military Police, or the medical field technical specialties.

El bòxer és una raça de gos de treball desenvolupada a Alemanya durant la segona meitat del  i principis del  a partir de diverses races, principalment dels bullenbeisser i dels bulldogs. De mida mitjana i tipus molós, amb pelatge curt, amb una mitjana de vida d'entre 10-14 anys i caracteritzat per tenir tendència a la genètica. Els ancestres de la raça van ser emprats originàriament per atiar els braus. Posteriorment, gràcies al seu valor, força i agilitat va ser escollit per fer de gos. policia a Alemanya i va ser utilitzat com a guia per a cecs. Sempre fidel, intel·ligent i vigilant, el bòxer és una excel·lent mascota.

La primera vegada que va aparèixer un bòxer va ser el 1895 a Munic pel Munic Bòxer Club; Philip Stockmann i la seva dona Frau Stockmann són considerats els pares de la raça bòxer. És una de les races de gossos més famoses i és a causa del caràcter que té sobretot amb els nens, és també un dels gossos amb més estètica i bellesa, presenten de cadells problemes per respirar la qual cosa és normal per la seva raça, ja que la seva cara és prognàtica, és preferible que el seu cos només tingui 1/3 de pelatge blanc, ja que més no és acceptable per la criança per la Federació Cinològica Internacional.

El bòxer disposa de races híbrides (barreja de races pures) reconegudes que són el bull bòxer, el boxador (labrador retriever amb bòxer) i l'akita inu.

Història

La majoria dels historiadors canins estan d'acord que el bòxer té ancestres en els gossos bullenbeisser. Aquests bullenbeissers (o mossegadors de toros) eren gossos de caça, usats sobretot per a la caça del senglar i del cérvol. Aquestes expedicions per a la caça d'animals salvatges solien costar la vida a diversos gossos, ja que la caça era horrible i penosa tant per a les persones com per als gossos (per no esmentar per als senglars). Algunes fonts diuen que aquests enormes gossos medievals tenien les orelles erectes i grans dents, que serien usades per a subjectar l'animal pel morro. És probable que els caçadors tallessin les orelles de la manera com ho fan en alguns països avui dia, ja que aquest costum semblaria d'acord amb les primitives usances d'aquells temps i no és perillós.

Dins d'una via més civilitzada i utilitària, els ancestres del bòxer van ser freqüentment utilitzats com a gossos de carnisser, per la seva habilitat per contenir a un bou i de conduir-lo cap al seu estable, si es tornava rebel. Es creu que la famosa reputació d'un gos anomenat "Boxl", utilitzat per un carnisser de Berlín és la que va donar el nom a la raça. La derivació de la paraula bòxer com a nom per a un gos de raça pura és irònica, ja que la paraula "boxl" o "boxel" té com a traducció, en essència, mestís.

El 1894 un famós criador de bulldogs anomenat Friedich Roberth va ser la primera persona a pronunciar bòxer per la raça, al·ludint a la raça amb atributs i avantatges, ja que posseïa una bòxer femella; Friedich declara que cap institució o persona ajuda que s'aconsegueixin bòxers bons o almenys a preservar la raça i que aquest era l'únic camí perquè Alemanya preservés una nova raça canina.

Per alegria de Friedich es va fundar el Munic Bòxer Club el 1895. On van participar 4 bòxers, quedant guanyador "Flocki" i nomenat primer bòxer a guanyar una competència canina de la seva classe. Friedich i diversos aficionats a la raça van fundar el Club del Bòxer i per aquest mateix any es va sol·licitar a Roberth perquè dictés un estàndard sobre la raça per a un bòxer perfecte. El 1904 es va fundar la revista Boxer Der Boxer Blatter.

Durant la Primera Guerra Mundial es va utilitzar al bòxer com a gos militar i missatger per a benefici de les tropes alemanyes, es van escollir en el seu temps només campions aptes que podien suportar tasques dures com el "rastreig de franctirador"; El bòxer Rolf v. Vogelsberg propietat de Philip Stockmann va realitzar diverses ventrades per tripular en l'exèrcit caní, ja que era un gos de classe i guanyador 5 vegades en campionats. Per a la Segona Guerra Mundial va començar a perdre fama la raça i es va considerar el bòxer en l'exèrcit caní com a segona opció, per darrere del pastor alemany, però afortunadament es va valorar que era molt hàbil i llavors es va tripular, els americans durant les guerres els va encantar el bòxer corrent pels camps de batalla i diversos soldats amb camuflatge van avisar a Frau Stockmann (un altre criador de bòxers per a l'exèrcit) que la raça bòxer als Estats Units seria la millor de totes, així Frau Stockmann va poder morir en pau i sabent que la seva raça perduraria abans que morís.

 Genealogia de la Raça
La criança del bòxer començà amb una gossa francesa anomenada Flora, propietat de George Muhlbahuer Alt de la ciutat de Munic, Alemanya. El senyor George Alt la va aparellar amb un gos conegut com a bòxer i va produir un mascle comú anomenat bòxer de Lechner. Aquest gos va ser al seu torn aparellat amb la seva mare i aquest encreuament va donar dues femelles anomenades Flora II i Alts Schecken.

El 26 de febrer de 1895 neix Flocki fruit de l'encreuament d'un antic bulldog anglès anomenat Tom (propietat del Dr Toenniessen) i Alts Schecken. Flocki va ser el primer gos inscrit en el Llibre Genealògic Alemany del bòxer i guanyador de la primera exposició de la raça.

A iniciativa de Friedrich Roberth, Elard König i Rudolf Hoepner es fundà el 1895, el Boxer Klub EV a Munic, Alemanya per dedicar-se al foment i desenvolupament de la raça bòxer.

El 14 de juliol de 1902 s'estableix el Primer Estàndard de la raça i com aparença general es caracteritza el bòxer com a gos de talla mitjana, pèl curt, fort, fort, movedís i elegant, que es recolza sobre membres rectes i robustes i construït del tot al quadrat. El tipus de mossegada era en tisores i el cap era el cap escurçat d'una ala (relació 1:1). Posteriorment, es va utilitzar al bulldog d'aquesta època per tal d'assolir les noves característiques que es van establir en el segon estàndard de la raça el 1905. El 1904 va aparèixer la primera edició de la revista Boxer der Boxer Blätter.

Meta von der Passage (Piccolo von Angentor & Blanka von Angentor) és considerada com la progenetriu del bòxer tal com avui el coneixem, ja que ella el va procrear amb gran homogeneïtat. Meta la va aparellar amb Flock St Salvator per fer parir dos gossos destinats a tenir una gran influència en la raça: Hugo von Pfalzgau i Schani von der Passage.  Schani va ser pare de Rigo von Angertor & Hugo von Pfalzgau va ser pare de Curt von Pfalzgau, pare al seu torn de Rolf von Vogelsberg. Entre els descendents d'aquest últim figuren Dorian von Marienhof & Sigurd, Utz & Lustig von Dom (criats per Friederun Stockmann) qui li van donar l'impuls a la raça en el món sencer.

L'estàndard de la raça va ser sotmès a una revisió fonamental el 1920. Les característiques més saltants van ser la mossegada prògnata, cap braquicèfal (relació crani musell 2:1), increment de la talla i s'accepta el blanc portat en forma harmònica fins a un terç del total de la capa. El 1925 van ser exclosos els bòxers negres i el 1938 els tacats.

Per concloure, llavors el bòxer és un gos mitjà de pèl llis, fort amb una estructura curta, quadrada i membres forts. La seva musculatura és compacta, fortament desenvolupada i plàstica. Els seus moviments són vivaços, plens de força i arrogància, de caminar segur, amb pas lliure, elàstic i de port orgullós i arrogant.

Es reconeix el color de pelatge tigrat i comú.

El caràcter del bòxer és de màxima importància i requereix molta cura. La seva afecció i lleialtat a la família, el seu valor agosarat com a defensor i protector, la seva intel·ligència i docilitat i la seva neteja el converteixen en el gos ideal de la família igual que com a gos de servei, protecció i companyia. El seu caràcter és lleial sense falsedat ni malícia. Des del 1921 fins als nostres dies el bòxer és considerat un gos d'utilitat.

 Morfologia
Entre els seus trets físics es troben un cap fort, mandíbula inferior prognàtica, la pressió mandibular és generalment de 122 kg/ cm², musell amb una característica màscara negra, tradicionalment els criadors retallaven les orelles perquè semblessin més aviat llargues i situades en alt, són utilitzats com bombers pel seu gran olfacte i per la seva valentia en grans catàstrofes, i té la tendència a netejar-se i a mantenir-se sempre net.

Entre les seves característiques físiques es troben un cap pesat, mandíbules pronunciades, morro emmascarat, orelles més aviat llargues i col·locades cap amunt, ulls de color castany fosc, coll fort, rodó i musculós. Pit ampli i potes del darrere musculoses.

El bòxer té el pèl curt, brillant i suau, de color lleonat o amb ratlles fosques sobre fons lleonat. Algunes vegades té taques blanques.

El mascle fa entre 57 i 63 cm d'alçada des de la creu i pesa uns 32 kg, la femella té una alçada d'entre 53 i 59 cm. i pesa uns 28 kg.

Les orelles i la cua dels bòxers són dos dels elements de la morfologia d'aquests gossos que s'''arreglen per raons d'estètica.

Orelles

Les orelles estan situades en la part més alta del crani i cauen sobre les galtes quan no estan retallades (arreglades).
Quan el gos està vigilant, les orelles es dirigeixen cap endavant dibuixant un marcat plec.
Quan les orelles estan retallades les tenen en punta i verticalment dretes.

Temperament
És un gos fidel, intel·ligent i vigilant, sens dubte és un dels gossos més complets que existeix. És dòcil i compta amb una lleialtat inigualable amb la seva família. No obstant això és feroç i dominant i pot atacar amb gran velocitat a altres gossos (especialment a mascles) quan algun dels seus és agredit. Són molt bons per als nens, si té d'1 any a dos, és el moment ideal per encapritxar-se amb nens i adults.

Els seus avantatges de temperament són els següents:

 Alegre i eixerit.
 Molt afectuós amb els nens.
 Valent.
 Bon gos guardià.
 Conducta pallassa i extravertida.

Manteniment i exercici

Per a la seva bona salut i desenvolupament, el bòxer necessita realitzar bastant exercici i portar una dieta controlada. La quantitat d'exercici i aliment depèn de l'edat. El cadell, abans de ser deslletat i separat dels seus germans, juga amb els altres fins que es cansa, i tots s'enrosquen a descansar. Aquest exercici, amb suficient descans, és essencial per al creixement dels cadells.

A mesura que va creixent, necessita fer exercici per mantenir-se en condicions i desenvolupar la seva musculatura. A més de fer-lo jugar amb diferents elements, com pot ser una pilota, és indispensable treure al gos a passejar diàriament i fer-lo córrer molt amb una pilota de tennis o tennis taula amb la cura que no se l'empassi.

Per obtenir resultats formidables en assolir l'edat adulta, és indispensable ensenyar coses bones al cadell, una d'elles són: Exercici diari 3 sessions amb 30 minuts cadascuna, perquè així es converteixi en sociable, conegui objectes nous, pugui fer les seves necessitats o adquireixi el múscul que s'obtindrà en l'edat avançada; una altra és donar-li afecte i disciplina, afecte quan faci coses bones i disciplina perquè sigui un gos de bé i no un malcriat.

Potencials problemes de salut

Són susceptibles a patir tumors. Entre els seus possibles problemes també està la displàsia de maluc canina. Pateixen d'epilèpsia.

Molts d'ells solen ser delicats de pell i patir algun tipus de malaltia cutània, la dermatitis al·lèrgica és la més comuna.
Els bòxers de color blanc solen ser els més susceptibles a les malalties hereditàries, ja que és considerat un error en l'encreuament, aquests bòxers no poden participar en cap competició.

La incidència d'aquestes malalties no és alta, i si a això se li afegeix que el cadell serà comprat a un criador, que proveeix tots els certificats de salut per als seus exemplars, augmenten molt les possibilitats de tenir un animal saludable.

Bòxers blancs
Els bòxers blancs no són tan apreciats com els tigrats o de tonalitats més fosques. És comuna la creença que no són de raça pura, si bé això no és cert. Pateixen els problemes de salut característics de la raça.

A la raça bòxer, les marques blanques són produïdes pel gen semirecessiu sw. Els bòxers daurats o tigrats amb marques blanques porten una sola còpia de sw. Els òoxers blancs porten 2 còpies de sw. D'altra banda, els bòxers blancs no són albins. L'albinisme està determinat per un gen diferent i els exemplars albins, a diferència dels bòxers blancs, estan mancats totalment de pigmentació.

Malauradament, el color blanc produït per les 2 còpies de sw va associat amb problemes de sordesa en alguns casos. Aquest tipus de sordesa es desenvolupa en el cadellet en les seves primeres setmanes de vida, començant quan el canal auditiu està encara tancat. El procés és complex, però es pot resumir dient que es produeix a causa de l'absència de cèl·lules productores de pigment (melanòcits) en els teixits interns de l'oïda.

Aquest tipus de sordesa no és exclusiva del bòxer blanc, ja que es produeix també en altres races que són blanques per la mateixa raó genètica (és a dir, portar 2 còpies de sw), per exemple el dàlmata, el bull terrier blanc i altres.

"I am thankful for the family I was born into and for the family I have formed.
I am thankful to have a home, founded on love.
I am thankful about having a job where I am at a position of helping others.
I am thankful for everyone who enjoys my blog.
and for the things that have been cleared from my path.
As soon as November rolls in we're faced with the not so silent question: "What am I grateful for?". I, personally, like to take a minute before bed to just give thanks for everything I am thankful for that day including the "little things'' like randomly getting to enjoy a quick little breakfast with my love before we head off to work.
Besides just being grateful though, how about we take time to show our gratitude? One little act of kindness can go a long way and we already know the world needs more of it it.
Don't take the fact that your parents, children or siblings, know you love them for granted. Put into words how much they mean to you.
Show your love. My mom had never enjoyed an actual Spa day so I surprised her with a day of pampering for just the two of us.
Write a Thank You card (snail mail) letting some of your closest friends know why you're so grateful to have them in your life.
Smile! Smile at strangers. Genuinely smile when you say Hi. Smiles really are contagious. Let's help spread them.
Next time you're grabbing a cup of coffee, pay for a random person's cup.
Take a coat you no longer wear and give it to a homeless person.
Don't keep compliments to yourself. Stranger or not, spread some love by giving out praise even on little things like a nice outfit or an enjoyable blog post (hint hint lol).
After your next brunch, give a larger tip than usual and leave them a cute little note of appreciation.
At work, be the calm ray of light in a stressful situation.
Celebrate other's joys as if they were your own.
Don't forget about yourself. Looking in the mirror, tell yourself 5 things you admire about who you are today.
Randomly surprise somebody with a small, thoughtful gift you know they'll love.
Be considerate. With every action and word, consider how you might make that person feel.
Over use the words 'I love you' and really mean it.
Don't forget to share, below, some ways you like to show gratitude.

Every Pearl Harbor Tour includes a fast track ticket to view a 23-minute documentary film, and then board a 145 passenger U.S. Navy-operated boat for an unforgettable solemn visit to the Memorial.
It's possible to choose a tour from any of the four Hawaiian Islands that fits your schedule and interest.
