After two weeks of intense negotiations, the COP21 talks finally produced a landmark Paris Agreement among the close to 200 countries that participated to fight global warming.
"The solutions to climate change are on the table. They are ours for the taking. Let us have the courage to grasp them," remarked Ki-moon at the presentation of the final draft. He wants the outcome to be celebrated because it offers "new hope for safety and prosperity for all on a healthy planet".
The road to Paris Agreement
Ahead of the Paris meeting, thousands of companies and investors as well as regional governments announced their commitment to the essential economic and social transformation to low-carbon, sustainable growth and development.
Heads of state and government arrived in Paris early to give their public support to the climate change talks.
At the opening ceremony, UN Climate Change Chief, Christiana Figueres said that the eyes of millions of people around the world were on the governments meeting in Paris. "You have the opportunity, in fact the responsibility, to finalize an agreement that enables the achievement of national climate change goals, that delivers the necessary support for the developing world and that catalyses continuously increasing ambition and action by all," she said.

Cosmetic dentistry is field of dentistry aimed at achieving a certain change to your smile and to your teeth. Most people think of porcelain veneers or tooth whitening, but a cosmetic dentistry could give much and much more.
An experienced and skilled dentist could help to improve your smile, your appearance, even your self-image, and confidence.
While we all feel we know a beautiful smile when we see one, there is no perfect smile. That's because each person has a different understanding of beauty; you and your cosmetic dentist may even have a different opinion. So it's important that you make an appointment and then tell us what you like.


I CANNOT BELIEVE IT IS ALMOST OCTOBER. Where did September go?
1. My mum and dad came round for afternoon tea, which was SO tasty. I would like lunch to look like this every day please!
2. A lovely wee house, just round the corner from work. I love buildings in the Old Town.
3. We started finally putting up photos in the house. We're going to cover the stairs in pictures of places we've been - managed to cover New Zealand, Hawaii, Hong Kong & Edinburgh so far, but got a lot more to do!
4. Poor Riley is feeling very conflicted about the weather these days. He loves being outside but hates being soggy, which means he is gazing sadly at the garden whenever it rains.
5. I got a new coat - a fuzzy leopard print jacket of dreams! I have been on the hunt for the perfect cosy leopard coat for years, and weirdly enough found this in Primark. Happy days.
6. This is Ollie, my sister's puppy! SO CUTE.
7. I had to renew my passport which meant a dreaded trip to get passport photos taken. I think I am slightly better at getting my photo taken these days (probably because I do it so much for this here blog, ha) but WHY do photobooths always make you look like a proper criminal? Argh!
8. Lunch with the lovely lovely folk from the Lyceum Theatre at Spoon. If every work day could be like this I'd be a very happy lady!
9. Finally moved my piano into the house, I've missed it loads! If anyone can recommend a piano tuner near Edinburgh please let me know!
10. Started to organise the library... look out for a post on this in a couple of days!
11. Craig & I all scrubbed up for a wedding at the Botanic Gardens.
12. We went to see Phantom of the Opera at the Playhouse which was FANTASTIC. I am a massive fan of musicals so I was expecting good things, but I was absolutely blown away by it. The perfomances & sets were incredible, I highly highly recommend it! It's on until October 20th so go if you can get a ticket!
Ahh! Phantom! That's awesome. Love all of these pics!

Song Ji Hyo drunk dialed Heechul, after he called "Running Man" childish
On the February 19th episode of Happy Together 3, Heechul recalled a moment where Running Man's fixed cast member, Song Ji Hyo, called him out while drunk after Heechul said the hit show was childish.
Heechul revealed that after his appearance on War of Words (Ssul Jeon), reports came out with headlines reading "Heechul doesn't watch Running Man because he finds it childish" however, Heechul explained that he actually meant that, "At times I find Running Man childish, however, because of [it's childishness] the show appeals to both children and adults."
Since then, Heechul received a love call from the show to appear as a guest and although he initially refused, he eventually accepted following a call from Running Man member Ji Suk Jin.
However, because of the incident, he received a phone call from Song Ji Hyo after she had gone drinking one night during which she chided him saying, "How could you say that?"
Heechul went on to reveal how Running Man MC Yoo Jae Suk addressed it light heartedly and in turn the rest of the cast joked along with the Super Junior member without taking too much weight to the words of the report.

UK becomes first parliament to declare climate emergency
Issued on: 01/05/2019 - 21:27
London (AFP)
Britain's opposition Labour Party on Wednesday called for "real action" after parliament became the first in the world to vote to declare a climate emergency.
"Thanks to pressure from the Labour Party, the UK just became the first country to declare an environment and #climateemergency," the party said on its Twitter page.
"Now it's time for real action to tackle climate change."
Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said he hoped the vote "will trigger a wave of action from parliaments and governments around the world".
He hopes the move will increase pressure on the government and is demanding that the country takes action to help avoid more than 1.5 degrees centigrade of warming, requiring global emissions to be cut by almost half of 2010 levels by 2030.
The vote was taken following 11 days of protests organised by climate activists Extinction Rebellion that brought several London sites to a standstill.
Extinction Rebellion called the vote a "first step in the government telling the truth about the climate and ecological emergency."
"Pressure on our politicians will now increase as nothing but decisive action will suffice," they added.

Rafting for resilience
By Sgt. Raquel VillalonaSeptember 9, 2018
CHERWON, Republic of Korea - Equipped with a helmet, life vest and paddle, first-time rafters were filled with both excitement and anxiety as they approached their yellow rafts. The Warriors each grabbed a handle and guided their raft down a hill to the foot of the bank as they prepared to embark the rapids together.The 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division Unit Ministry Team hosted a Hantan River whitewater rafting trip to provide members of the Warrior division spiritual resilience training and focus on teamwork Sept. 7.The day started with a group discussion, which included the importance of stress management and comprehensive resiliency."Living with stress and knowing how to handle pressure is necessary for survival," said Chaplain (Capt.) Steven K. Love, Edwardsville, Illinois native, and Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion spiritual leader. "It is related to a person's ability to take control of their own destiny from the circumstances that surround them."Love ties the idea of river rafting to overcoming obstacles in life."Whitewater rafting requires the entire team to be fully engaged to get through the challenges, and that relates to life," said Love. "Like the river, Soldiers hit some tough spots and it can be fearful, but you learn to get through it with the support of others."After the insightful discussions, a morale-boosting Korean barbeque lunch, and a nerve-wrecking safety brief, enthusiastic Warriors descended onto the Hantan River."This is my first duty station and first time whitewater rafting," said Pvt. Haley N. Deline, Grand Blanc, Michigan native and wheeled vehicle mechanic for Headquarters Support Company. "It took teamwork and coordination to prevent the raft from flipping over, but we handled the situations well and had a ton of fun."Warriors paddled in sync, creating new bonds and gaining both courage and insight while navigating their way through the intense rapids."Rafting made it easier to connect with other Soldiers from the division," said Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army Pfc. Kim, Hyun Rae, native of Sejong City and Headquarters Support Company supply specialist. "I translated in Korean and English for the tour guide, which forced me to interact with Soldiers I didn't know, and in the end, I made new friends."Maj. Jeffrey P. Nelson, native of Juliet, Illinois and deputy plans officer, 2ID/RUCD, agreed that communication was key."We had to communicate effectively and be aware of what was going on around us and maneuver the raft together," said Nelson. "We also had to take on different team roles, which is similar to our experience as Soldiers in leadership positions."Participants gained newfound teamwork and resiliency skills, as they took in the majestic scenery and successfully concluded their voyage down the river.

Damat Mahmud Pascha (türkisch; ), auch Mahmud Āsāf und Mahmud Celāleddin, vollständiger Name  (* 1853 in Konstantinopel; † 17. Januar 1903 in Brüssel) war ein osmanischer Politiker.

Leben
Damat Mahmud Pascha wurde 1853 unter dem Namen Mahmud Celâleddin als Sohn des wohlhabenden Marineministers Damat Halil Pascha geboren. Obwohl er den Vater früh verlor, konnte er sich eine gute Ausbildung leisten und trat danach in den Dienst der Hohen Pforte und arbeitete in der osmanischen Botschaft in Paris.

Nach seiner Heirat mit Sultan Abdülmecids Tochter Seniha Sultan nannte man ihn Damat (Damad) Mahmud Pascha. Nachdem er am Hofe des Sultans mehrere Positionen bekleidet hatte, wurde er am 30. März 1877 in den Rang eines Wesirs befördert. Ab 18. April 1878 war er Justizminister und Mitglied des osmanischen Staatsrates (Şûrâ-yı Devlet).

Nachdem der Pascha beschuldigt wurde, an einem fehlgeschlagenen Attentat auf Sultan Abdülhamid II. beteiligt gewesen zu sein, musste er mit seinen beiden Söhnen nach Europa fliehen. Zwar stellte sich später die Unschuld heraus und der Sultan versuchte, Mahmud Pascha zu einer Rückkehr zu bewegen, doch Damat Mahmud Pascha fühlte sich verraten und blieb im Ausland. Dort kam er mit der Bewegung der Jungtürken in Kontakt und setzte sich mit ihnen für Reformen im osmanischen Reich ein. Mahmud Pascha lebte in Marseille, Paris, Genf und London, lebte kurz in Ägypten und schließlich auf Korfu. Als er krank wurde, zog er zuerst nach Rom und schließlich nach Brüssel.

An welcher Krankheit Mahmud Pascha litt, ist ungeklärt. Einige Quellen nennen eine Proteinurie als Symptom, andere eine Urämie. Als der Sultan von der Krankheit des ehemaligen Freundes und Mannes seiner Halbschwester erfuhr, forderte er dessen Rückholung nach Konstantinopel, wohl nicht zuletzt auch, weil er sich damit eine Schwächung der Jungtürken erhoffte. Doch Mahmud Pascha starb zuvor.

Nach seinem Tod setzte sich der Sultan für eine Bestattung im Osmanischen Reich ein, doch sein Sohn, Prinz Sabahaddin, war dagegen. So wurde Damat Mahmud Pascha in Paris bestattet. Erst fünf Jahre nach seinem Tod wurden die sterblichen Überreste in das Osmanische Reich gebracht und auf dem Friedhof Eyüp Sultan beigesetzt.

Schon zu Lebzeiten war Damat Mahmud Pascha als Dichter bekannt. Unter dem Pseudonym Mahmud Âsâf veröffentlichte er mehrere Werke. Sein 1898 veröffentlichter Diwan wurde in Ägypten verlegt.

Firing On All Cylinders
Between 2007 and 2017, Straight Arrow released no less than 10 concerts from Elvis' 1972 Summer Festival, on 8 individual releases - More than any other label. In recent times we've also released a lot of stuff from the final years, but last year we made the commitment to focus on the 1969 - 1972 period, arguably his best concert years. Recently we were able to obtain two excellent vintage tapes from Elvis' 1972 Summer Season, and it is with some pride that we now present these.
This release is titled "FIRING ON ALL CYLINDERS" (SA/SP 2019-60-02)… and Elvis truly did during this engagement. The first show is from August 7th, 1972 and this is the show where he performed "Steamroller Blues" for the first time. The second show is Closing Night from September 4th, and it can easily be called the best show of the entire season. It's a nice surprise that we are able to include some of the warm-up acts, including Jackie Kahanes's set, as well as the Sweet Inspiration set. These ladies were smoking H - O - T, and it's easy to hear why they were considered to me amongst the best female soul groups in the business. As you probably know, they used to work together with Aretha, and The Sweet Inspirations' performance of her hits is one of the highlights on this disc.
We believe that the inclusion of the opening acts will give you a unique perspective of what it was like to experience one of Elvis' Las Vegas concerts during this period in time.
The August 7th, 1972 Midnight Show is a previously unreleased concert, taken from a newly obtained original audience recorded tape in surprisingly good quality. This specific tape has not been available previously. There is another recording of this show in circulation on CDR, but the sound quality of that one is poor.
The September 4th, 1972 Closing show was released by some no-name label back in 2005, from an incomplete source and in very hissy sound ("Walk That Lonesome Road" CD - with the missing song being "A Big Hunk O'Love"). We have found an alternate source, an original tape which includes the main part of the pre-program by The Sweet Inspirations as well as comedian Jackie Kahane. For the first time we present this great closing show in its complete form, and in the best possible sound quality!
This release is presented in a de-luxe 8-panel digipak, with a collection of photos taken in Las Vegas, NV, on August 8th, 1972 (Dinner), September 3rd, 1972 (3am) and September 4th, 1972 Closing shows.
CD1 (07.08.1972 M/S): 01. Opening Vamp / C. C. Rider - 02. Proud Mary - 03. Until It's Time For You To Go - 04. You Don't Have To Say You Love Me - 05. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' - 06.

Closing Vamp / Announcements.
This release is expected very soon. In the meantime, you may ask your local dealer for audio samples to judge for yourself! It's a new "STRAIGHT ARROW", so you know what to expect. Every second of these concerts was digitally restored, every click or disturbing clap in quiet songs manually removed, every drop-out or damaged place fixed to achieve optimal listening pleasure. The next "STRAIGHT ARROW" releases in early 2020 will be excellent shows from 1971, 1972 and 1974, so stay tuned!

The Beat Pattern In Conducting
The conducting beat patterns are the method of establishing the tempo or beat structure of the music. The beat pattern is just the basic way the conductor uses to convey how the notes of the musical piece are structured. The beat pattern used in conducting pattern varies in relation to the time signature of the piece. However, the 2 beats, 3 beats, and 4 beats per measure are very common measures and they are the pattern used mostly.
The Number Of Beat In A Measure
Basically, the beat in music is the unit of time and the number of beats in a measure is represented by the time signature. The time signature is the symbol in musical notation that will always tell you about the number of beats in a measure. You will always see the time signature at the beginning of the musical piece after the cleft symbol and immediately after the key signature.
Specifically, the time signature is two numbers with like fractional figure with one above the other. The one above indicates how many beats exist in a measure. We can have any number of beats per measure. However, the number of beats we normally have per measure is usually between 2 and 12. Therefore, 2 at the top, as we have it in 24, mean two-beat in a measure. Likewise, when 3 is used for the top number like in 34, it means we have 3 beats in a measure. And with 4 at the top for 44, we have 4 beats per measure.
ALSO READ: Guide To The Role Of A Conductor In Choral Music
On the other hand, the number at the bottom denotes the type of musical notation that is used for one beat in a measure. This also means a type of beat to count and this has to do with the note value. Therefore, if you have a half note (minim) for one beat, you will have 2 at the bottom. The typical example is 22 measure. Similarly, if the note for one beat is a quarter note, 4 will be the figure at the bottom. For example, 44 time also known as common time. And for the eighth note as one beat, the bottom figure will be 8 as we have it in 68 time.
Actually, the time signature and number of beats we have in a measure is frequently the same throughout the musical piece. Though there are some cases where the beat per measure changed to add flavor to the music.
The Downbeat And Upbeat
The downbeat is the first beat at the beginning of the bar and after the bar line in a measure. This beat is always the strongest beat in a measure. The downbeat is the most stressed beat but we don't actually need to over-emphasize it for music not to get clumpy. On every downbeat, the conductor's hand is always striking down. This means in conducting, the hand movement is always in a downward direction with every first beat of the measure.
Downbeat is best noticed when you are clapping for beat counting in music. At the time you clap your hand, you are on the downbeat. This beat is made at the center of a conducting plane to always point out the first beat of a measure to musicians.
Upbeat is the opposite of the downbeat. It is the last beat that ends the bar and is always before the bar line in a measure. This term also has a relationship with the conductor's hand movement. For every upbeat, the conductor's hand is always in the upward direction. Upbeat is best identify when you are clapping to count beat for music. At the time you put off your hand for the clap, you are on the upbeat.
The Beat Pattern
The major function of a conductor is to make a group of musicians playing music together effectively. Customarily, they do this by waving their hand to show the beat of the music. The hand waving is usually in a particular pattern and it is known as a beat pattern. Every beat pattern is based on the number of beats the music has in a measure. This is shown by the top number of the time signature as discussed above.
Before we move further, you should know that every beat pattern starts with a downbeat. This is transformed into downward arm motion by the conductor. And as you would see later in our discussion, the first beat is always down-stroke and the last beat is always upstroke. The movement or stroke between the first beat and the last beat is what defined the meter. The diagram above shows the movement of each beat pattern.
In conducting these beat patterns, try to keep your wrist and shoulder steady while you bend your wrist a little to point out the beat. Also, ensure all the arm movements are even, smooth, and from your forearm and the elbow. Moreover, the conducting movement must have some kind of bounce and dip to make every movement stand out. These bounces and dips are necessary for the clarity of the beat pattern that makes it uncomplicated to follow.
Two-Beat Pattern In Conducting
The 2 beat pattern in conducting is generally used for a measure defined with a time signature of 24 or 22 times. The 24 denotes two beats of a quarter note per measure. And 22 indicates that we have two half beats in a bar or per measure. Basically, for 2 beats in a measure or duple meter, the conductor uses just a down and upbeat that resulted in two strokes. This 2 beat pattern is done by bringing the arm down for the downbeat which is the first beat. And then bringing it back up for the upbeat and the second beat.
Three-Beat Pattern In Conducting
The 3 beat pattern in conducting is to be used for every musical piece with three-beats per measure as we have it in 34 time signatures. The time signature with 34 means we have three notes of quarter value in a bar. Furthermore, when we have three beats in a measure or triple meter, the beat pattern will be in three directions. The three directions are down, right, and up.
To conduct with the beat pattern, move your hand downward for the downbeat or the first beat. Then, move it to the right side to signify the second beat. Finally, move it back up to the starting point for the third beat which is upbeat. Observer not too much bounce on the downbeat and dip on the second beat as well as the third beat. Note the point of bounce and dip in the diagram were indicated with a small circle in the diagram above.
Four-Beat Pattern In Conducting
The four-beats pattern in conducting is normally employed for a musical piece that has a 44 time signature. Again, 44 implies that we have four beats in a measure and the fundamental note is a quarter note. However, for the four-beats pattern that represents four beats in a measure or quadruple meter, the conductor movements are in four directions. These movements are down, left, right, and back to up to complete the beat circle.
To put this beat pattern into conducting, move your arm downward for the downbeat which is the first beat. Then move your hand to the left for the second beat and to the right for the third beat. End up your arm movement back to the top for the upbeat which is the fourth beat. As you are moving your arm around for the beat, keep it in mind to observe the bounce on the downbeat. In addition, don't forget to pinpoint the dip on the second, third, and fourth beat.
These beat patterns worth your time to master. If you don't have the skill set to properly move your hand in those three directions, engage in practice until you can do them freely. That is when you can do the pattern at a constant tempo even with distraction. There are other beat patterns but these three are the basic. Therefore, practice them to a good extent and let them be in your muscle memory as well as your brain. Above all, you should master the indication of the beat by making it very clear to the musicians or performers. The clarity of the beat pattern is the core value of every conducting activity that every conductor must inculcate.

Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/17/2019 -- Roughness and contour measuring devices are used to measure the roughness, contours, and waviness of work portions by means of software for daily production tasks. Surfaces of a machined part represent a complex shape made of a number of peaks and grooves of varying heights, depths, and arrangement. Surface roughness is defined as shorter frequency of real surfaces relative to the troughs; for example, dashboard of a vehicle, outer cover of a product, and machined panel with variances in appearance, such as matte or shiny and rough or smooth. Roughness and contour measuring devices are highly effective, reliable, and are also available in handheld type, thus offering ease of job. Additionally, these devices provide superior output and increase efficiency and quality of work. They not only impact the appearance of an object but also produce texture variances.
Benefits offered by roughness and contour measuring devices, for instance, cost-effectiveness, high accuracy, higher productivity and efficiency, and| and precision are likely to drive the growth of the roughness and contour measuring devices market during the forecast period. Also, industries wherein measurement of nano/micro figures needs to be highly accurate are expected to generate high demand for these devices in the near future. However, these techniques can be disparaging at times, which is expected to obstruct the growth of the roughness and contour measuring devices market. Nevertheless, integration of advanced technologies, such as Bluetooth, in these devices are creating growth opportunities for the roughness and contour measuring devices market.
Roughness and contour measuring devices are highly accurate and reliable and are ideal for use in everyday procedures in production. Furthermore, these are easy to operate and save time, costs, and resources. There are a variety of options available in the roughness and contour measuring devices market for the user to choose from, for instance, devices ranging from 300mm to 900mm in height, in automated or manual type to level out surfaces depending on customer requirement.
The global roughness and contour measuring devices market can be categorized based on component, sensor type, application, enterprise size, device type, mobility, and region. On the basis of components, the roughness and contour measuring devices market can be bifurcated into hardware and software. The sensor type segment of the roughness and contour measuring devices market can be split into surface contact and non-contact. Based on device type, the roughness and contour measuring devices market can be divided into roughness measuring devices and contour measuring devices. By application, the roughness and contour measuring devices market can be classified into mechanical products, automotive products, electronic products, and other applications. In terms of enterprise size, the global roughness and contour measuring devices market can be categorized into small and medium scale industries and large scale industries.

I am retiring from US in a few years and have been looking at Chiang Mai as a place to go. I also would like to work PT or start a small business. I'm gathering info and talking to some people but am sure to have many other questions. Thanks very much.
Ok thanks for that info. I was just wanting to PT in a bike shop or open small shop. Something in the outdoor business. I will have to do more research. What do you do there? How long have you lived there?
Forget about working, and just retire and spend your US$ here. Anyway, you won't have time to work... it takes forever to do nothing here 55555.
hahah-its a full time job doing nothing isn't it?
es, with "retiree skills" it can take all day to do nothing. But in Thailand no special skills are required. It took me 1.5 days (not elapsed time, actual driving queueing etc) to transfer ownership of a car and a motorbike that I had purchased - and that was after preliminary work of getting Certificates of Residence had been obtained. In Australia, it would have taken a few minutes.

This government of mine
Has mastered a post-modern
Political and Sophic arts
Of fuckwittery,
Omnishambles,
Clusterfucking, and
Chicanery, as though
Ambling ineptitude
Was newly in fashion,
As if it was a finest
Prensal Blanc from
That sun-blessed island.
Swearing during the pandemic
Like so much hot air
And so much in the ashes of
Public money and taxes
Is uprising.
Why did we lose our hard earned money
As though we were those robbed blind
Homeless wayside token folk
Within a certain scripture,
To those mountain-dwelling raiders
Who did nothing for us,
Who we never befriended or even met
And yet they depreciated
And were depraved;
From our place and our markers
We watched as they built
Majorcan mansions and plazas
Using the future depths of our
Self-dug graves.
I don't usually provide a narrative to my poems. I prefer the words to speak alone, and I like to think the reader will also find their own meanings and interpretations, if I am using metaphors or allegories. This poem is a little more direct, perhaps, and yet ironically justifies an explanation. I also do not tend to swear, not illiberally, yet the italicised words I use at the top of the poem are some of my current favourites – so descriptive and with currency. I like lists. I have a list ongoing of my favourite words – there are currently 1654 words on the list. I also started keeping a list this year of issues concerning probity and conduct in government. I don't know why particularly, I suppose it was a constant cause of frustration; the lack of accountability and transparency. It is only from one news source, the UK Guardian online; so many news sources I find difficult to read due to ownership and bias and political leanings. Here is my list so far, though I know that I will have missed a lot. It is just for my own record. Also, a recent study in the UK has shown that swearing during the pandemic has, apparently, increased. Is it little wonder?
(Oh, and as an aside, I travelled to Majorca many times on holiday in the 2000s and it is the most beautiful island, with wonderful people and places. My reference to it in this poem is I suppose the juxtaposition of an ideal, which can become changed by something, but it is not a comment of any sort on Majorca itself – or if it is, it is only positive about that European neighbour – and it was only my poetic licence. Plus, I like the island's name for the title).

How I built Scorecard.dev (part 2) – Styling the frontend with CSS3 media queries, transitions, Flexbox and Dark Mode
Developers often wonder how to to get their side-project apps finished, and now that I've finished building Scorecard.dev I wanted to document my process before everything fades from memory. You can read the story of where the idea for the app came from if you'd like some context, as well as part 1 of the series.
Mobile-first responsive design
I decided to make a mobile-friendly interface early into the blueprinting phase, as I anticipated people would want to listen to the career advice podcasts while they were at their desktops as well as on their mobile devices. As mobile interfaces can work on desktops, but desktop interfaces usually do not work on mobile, focusing on a mobile-first design made sure I covered all possible devices. The consequence of this decision is that I would not be able to take full advantage of all of the available space at tablet/laptop/desktop widths, but while this would leave unused space on either side of the interface, at least users would only have to learn a single interface no matter what device they were on.
Scorecard.dev on an iPhone SE, Pixel 2 XL, and iPad
In practice, having a mobile-friendly interface at tablet/laptop/desktop widths meant that beyond a certain width, the interface would lock itself to a fixed-width, emulating a mobile interface on a desktop. Achieving this effect required a very light touch with responsive CSS: Below a specified width, the interface would switch from fixed-width to 100% width. While this is a single line of width-overriding CSS conditionally applied to a root container using a media query, it had the far-reaching implication that every UI element in the interface had to be designed to look and work correctly no matter what the width.
The Scorecard podcast player hides the volume controls at mobile widths.
Applying CSS effects
I wanted to give Scorecard.dev a modern look loosely inspired by Material Design. I could have used the excellent Material UI React Component library but preferred to build custom components and styles so that I would have full control over both the look and the feel of the app.
Developers new to CSS effects tend to want to demonstrate what they know, and their enthusiasm often leads to app designs that have so many noticeable visual effects that the usability of the app suffers. The key to using CSS effects is subtly; it should not be apparent to the user that you are using CSS effects at all. A user should only be able to detect that you used visual effects if you take them away.
The Scorecard.dev interface with and without CSS effects.
Visual effects should be complementary and work in harmony with each other. The objective is to arrive at a single, cohesive design where everything is tied together seamlessly. Unfortunately, CSS syntax makes this difficult, as there are no higher-level concepts like "lighting," "depth," or "contrast." Instead, you have to work backward from the design you want into the CSS syntax you need.
A surprising amount of CSS effects were used for such a seemingly simple, clean design.
Making circles connected to lines
I wanted to carry the theme of circles and lines throughout the app, to tie together the homepage, quiz, and Scorecard.
The general steps to creating a circle with a line attached in CSS are:
Give an element equal height and width, a border, and a 50% border-radius.
Create an element with a width and zero height (for horizontal lines) or a height with zero width (for vertical lines) and a border.
Align the circle with the line to make them appear to be connected.
The structure of 1) The "1, 2, 3" on the homepage 2) The bars on the scorecard and 3) The quiz answer interface.
Specifically for Scorecard.dev, here is how I created each of the circles-with-lines effects:
For the vertical "1, 2, 3" on the homepage, the challenge was making sure the circles were always in the vertical center of their associated paragraph of text no matter how much vertical height the text occupied. I used Flexbox to distribute the circle element and two pseudo elements within a parent container whose height was determined by the paragraph of text. Visually, this created the illusion of three circles connected by two lines, even though there were six lines in total. The very first and very last lines then had their visibility hidden so that they were invisible to the user but still rendered into the document so that Flexbox could still maintain proper alignment.
For the horizontal score-bars on the scorecards, the zero height lines contain the ending circles. The ending circles use absolute positioning so that they do not increase the height of the line, and can be positioned precisely in the vertical and horizontal center of the end of the line.
For the quiz answer selection, the circles and lines are thirteen sibling elements, and Flexbox is used to give them all the same vertical alignment despite them having different heights.
CSS transitions on scorecard bars
There were two situations where I wanted the bars on a scorecard to be animated:
When switching between the twelve "Difficult Developer" profiles
When loading a scorecard
Animating the scrollbars required only CSS transitions, not animations, as I was only animating between two states. The terminology can be a be confusing as you can create an animation using both a "CSS transition" and a "CSS animation", with the difference between the techniques being the sophistication of the animation you wish to produce: simple animations need only CSS transitions; sophisticated animations require CSS animations.
To achieve the effect I wanted, I needed to transition the colors and width of the score-bar. The line of the bar only needed its border color and width transitioned; the end of a score bar had a circle effect that required the transition of the outer circle's border as well as the inner circle's background color. Achieving this effect was conceptually very simple, but I had two options of how I could code it:
I could create CSS classes and switch between them
I could change the style directly on the element
While CSS classes allowed for a clean separation of visual effect from the React component, the drawback of creating CSS classes is I would need a lot of them: 100 to be exact as the score-bar represented score as a percentage. The side effect would be an increase in the CSS download size, and it was technically not needed as the transition would work just as well if I manipulated the style directly on the element. The difference between triggering the animation between the two effects was only very slight:
Using CSS classes, I would change the class name when the data changed
Using CSS style, I would change the style attribute of the individual elements to change the bar color, bar width, end circle border color, and end circle border background-color.
I decided to use CSS classes for the following reasons:
While there is quite a lot of debate around coupling style to components, I believe that style should be separate from content in order to retain the option for a wholesale redesign of the app many years into the future.
By the very nature of the CSS class repetitiveness, when compressed by the server, gzip tokenization would dramatically reduce the download size of the 100 class definitions.
The 2nd point was only an assumption at the time I made the decision, but for the sake of this article, I ran a test to see if my assumption was correct. The result was that the SASS loop created 23KB of CSS, which gzipped down to 1KB. Is 1KB of download worth separating style from implementation? Considering that the entire CSS bundle is 8KB compressed it's a significant increase proportionally, but the practical reality is that on a typical connection the extra KB would be transferred in a few milliseconds. If I were designing the interface for Amazon's level of traffic, I would have elected to save the 1KB. As it stands, the extra network transfer cost for the anticipated peak traffic for Scorecard.dev would amount to the cost a cup of coffee a month.
The SASS code that generated the 100 classes used for the score-bar transitions.
Early in the design process, the interface for Scorecard.dev had a dark color scheme. An early reviewer suggested a change to a more corporate color scheme, but I resisted as I preferred the look of an IDE/Editor more than that of a corporate training solution. Ultimately, near the end of the blueprinting process, I decided that the reviewer was correct and switched from a dark color scheme to a light color scheme.
About a week after I launched Scorecard.dev I learned that the new version of iOS was implementing a Dark Mode, and immediately regretted using a light color scheme. After some reflection, I realized that what I wanted was a color scheme that reflected the preference of the user, but I was not aware of any way to achieve this in a web browser. I did a bit of Googling, and soon found the new "prefers-color-scheme" CSS media query which was precisely what I needed. Unfortunately, the prefers-color-scheme media query was supported only in the very latest Safari for Mac OS, and an upcoming version of Chrome. Regardless, I applied the necessary CSS overrides to create support for Dark Mode using prefers-color-scheme, and now Scorecard.dev switches its color scheme based on the user's preference.
If a user's browser supports the new media query " prefers-color-scheme" they will see the dark version of Scorecard.dev if their OS is set to Dark Mode.
Part 3 of the series will cover writing the backend in Node, Express, Knex, and Postgres.

Moss: From Penniless To The NFL, Lake Havasu Player On The Verge

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi rests on the sideline after his 86-yard punt return for a touchdown during an NFL preseason football game against the Washington Redskins, Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019, in Cleveland. Cleveland won 30-10.

Pride in your local sports team, be it football, hockey or baseball, goes a long way toward uplifting a community.
We saw that with the Golden Knights after the 2017 shooting on the Strip.
So instead of talking about the hopes and dreams of two woebegone football teams, those of UNLV and UNR—how about that guy from Lake Havasu—no invitations from pro teams; sleeping outside on the grass because he had no money-- and now has a shot at joining the NFL?
Mitch Moss is the host of Follow the Money on V-sin, the Vegas Stats and Information Network. He explained the rise of Damon Sheehy-Guiseppi.
"It all started back at the college level where he could not get a workout. He couldn't make any college team. Nobody wanted anything to do with him. He eventually squeezed his way into a workout at a college – at a community college by the way – they invited him to this thing, did well, made the team, eventually, he led his division – the entire country actually at the level he played college ball - in kick returns," he said.
Then, Sheehy-Guiseppi did something similar at the NFL. He found out where the Cleveland Browns were having tryouts, flew there and lied about knowing someone in the organization.
He was able to get a tryout, did well and then shocked everyone in a pre-season game against the Redskins.
"Late in the game, in the fourth quarter, he takes an 86-yard punt return to the house scores a touchdown. At that point, nobody knew who he was," Moss said.
Even more dramatically, Moss said half the Browns team seemed to rush the end zone and tackle Sheehy-Guiseppi.
"You're thinking to yourself, 'This is nuts! How many times will a team go this crazy for a guy who scores a touchdown in the NFL?" Moss said.
But then his story came out and now it seems everyone is rooting for him. His teammates say he brings an energy to the locker room that can't be replaced.
And even more remarkable, the Browns are considered by some to be a top contender this year.
"Certain sports books directors have said they are absolutely flooded with money on the Browns to win their division," Moss said.
However, those numbers can be deceiving because they reflect what the general public is betting on - not the sharps.
"They bet what they want to happen," Moss said.
He explained that since the Browns are a sexy story people are betting with their hearts, not their heads.
As for Moss, "talent-wise I love 'em but I need to see it to believe it."

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict or are beyond our control, and actual results may differ materially from those expected or implied as forward looking statements. These risks, uncertainties and assumptions include, but are not limited to (i) the impact of any geopolitical tensions or the global COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy, our industry and markets as well as our business, (ii) risks related to our limited operating history, our history of significant losses and the execution of our business strategy, (iii) risks related to our ability to successfully manufacture and deploy our products and risks related to serial production of our products, (iv) risks related to our sales cycle which can be long and complicated, (v) risks related to our limited experience with order processing, our dependency on third-party suppliers and external procurement risks, (vi) risks related to defects or performance problems in our products, (vii) effects of competition and the development of the market for laser communication technology in general, (viii) risks related to our ability to manage future growth effectively and to obtain sufficient financing for the operations and ongoing growth of our business, (ix) risks relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information, (x) risks related to our ability to adequately protect our intellectual property and proprietary rights and (xi) changes in regulatory requirements, governmental incentives and market developments. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this release may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. We caution you therefore against relying on these forward-looking statements, and we qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

The story of Moses. Very sad but hopefully a happier ending!
From Godfrey: 'About Moses, we got to hear from him that he met his problem when one day in 1996 as he was coming home from a nearby trading center to buy some food items and other things for home use, some thugs grabbed him and beat him up taking all his shopping and some money, about 30,000 (£50p) he had left from the shopping. The beating was so brutal that he could not walk back home; he with a lot of difficulty crawled home as there was not even a soul to offer help. His limbs had been severely battered that he ended up paralyzed for a long time. He was helpless and for long has been unable to help himself to the toilet. He needed the support of family members who after some time couldn't probably stand that challenge and so abandoned him in his late father's house. Unfortunately though, the house he now lives in is on the land that was given to one of his brothers as an inheritance after the death of their father. This then makes it tricky for us to put up a new roof on property that is not his. We were informed by one of his brothers that Moses owns a piece of land as share of the inheritence from his late father and there he could have his own permanet home. As we we shared our intention and wish to support Moses, the brother Mr Asenge Charles said it would be possible to demolish the current house and make use of the bricks to build another house at Moses' own land. I challenged him to the task to put up the new walls and we would put the roof. He agreed and a timeline was set. He said by the end of January he would have organised that since he also felt Moses needed to be nearest where he could get easy assistance from his family than when he is by himself in the thicket of the sugar cane plantation. A simple calculation for the roof requirement of a basic shelter over Moses is 10 iron sheets that cost 26,000 ugx each, roofing timber 20 pieces each at 15,000 ugx and 10 kilograms of nails at 4,500 ugx each. Labour charges will be negotiated once I get the right carpenter. We will go to see the land and also monitor progress on Mr Asenge's promise to raise the walls. In a further conversation we were told that Moses was an exellent tailor but because of the trauma that he experienced on the fateful day he can longer do anything to earn a living, he depends on the generosity of some family members and well wishers to live on. He had 2 children but one of them (girl) passed on. She was the greatest support to her father while she lived but second (boy) doesnt really care. He stays in the capital and never comes home because he had demanded to have Moses' land and he was not given. He hated his father since then. Briefly that is about Moses. Our resolve to support him shall not be hampered by any negative story told, Amasa and I will follow up on the matter and see that a smile is kept on his face.'
So dear friends do you think we could rise to this challenge and provide the funds for Moses to live in relative comfort? You've all given so much already through your mosquito net donations, but if you can donate just a little more to see that Moses has a roof over his head in a place where he can be looked after this would be so so wonderful and would be a great way to round off this year. The cost is 605,000 Uganda Shillings which at todays exchange rate would be £132 plus maybe another £20 for labour expenses. My hubby and friends must have spent half that on a meal yesterday which really puts things in to perspective! I'm determined to share my Christmas spirit with Moses! Please get in touch if you would like to do this too. THANK YOU!

The Student Mentoring Group aims to foster a supportive environment for our NSA student members in their studies and future careers in nutrition science.
These cash grants are provided for students who are presenting their research in oral or poster form at the national Annual Scientific Meeting. They are based on the airfare from your city to the city where the conference is taking place (though it should be noted that NSA provides only part of the standard airfare). Applications must be submitted at the same time as you submit your abstract, usually in late July or early August.
A student masterclass is held each year immediately preceding the ASM. It is free if you are a student and have paid to attend the conference. For copies of presentations at these events, see the bottom of this page.
This is an opportunity to meet and chat informally with top researchers over a free breakfast.

AGB President & CEO Update: Mission Critical (Public Institutions)
By Henry Stoever January 6, 2023 Blog Post
Happy new year! I trust you enjoyed a peaceful holiday.
Colleges and universities are expansive communities that make hundreds of important decisions based on board-approved strategies, policies, priorities, and practices. The foundation of these decisions should be grounded in the institution's mission, which defines its purpose and pathway to achieving that purpose. Although all colleges and universities have a mission, its value wanes if boards do not ensure that strategic discussions and decisions are aligned with the mission.
The institutional mission deserves thoughtful attention, periodic review, and the opportunity to evolve and align with the current environment.
Why it matters: Reviewing and updating the mission statement are critical because the mission guides strategic decision-making. While gaining consensus on an updated mission statement can be difficult, stakeholders can work together to create a mission that meets the moment.
As stated in AGB's Higher Education Governing Boards: An Introductory Guide for Members of College, University, and System Boards, establishing, disseminating, and keeping current the mission of the institution are among the primary responsibilities of the board.
The mission statement should serve as a beacon to guide long-term, strategic planning and more immediate challenges. To remain agile in a shifting higher education environment, the mission statement may need to be updated.
While the mission or purpose of the institution is enduring, the board, in collaboration with the chief executive, campus leaders, and stakeholders, must ensure that the mission is kept current to reflect the context of the present environment. Mission and context drive institutions' vision statements and strategic plans.
The board advantage: The governing board can be laser-focused on the mission and ensure each strategy and priority is aligned with the institution's mission.
While governing boards are ultimately accountable for the outcomes of established priorities, they must ensure they delegate operational responsibility to the chief executive while working together to ensure mission fulfillment.
Consider these recommendations:
Review and update as necessary. Mission statements must change to fit the needs of the time but cannot change so often that the process causes unnecessary confusion or reputational whiplash.
Periodic review is important, and the mission statement may also need to evolve to align with market trends, student needs, research priorities, mergers and affiliations, or other major shifts that may impact strategies and resource allocation.
Accreditors expect colleges and universities to ensure alignment between strategic priorities, faculty-driven curricula, campus programs, and mission. The board should review the mission and keep it current if for no other reason than to comply with accreditation standards.
A leading practice is to include the mission statement at the top of the agenda for every board meeting. The document serves as a reference in grounding the work of the board.
Keep the mission statement clear and succinct. Precise statements help the mission stay at the forefront of stakeholders' minds. If the mission statement is easier to remember, it is easier to incorporate into the work of the board, administration, and campus community.
Invite key stakeholders to the process. To ensure alignment with key campus leaders and groups and to embrace leading practices of shared governance, boards should invite prioritized stakeholders to engage in strategic discussions and solicit their feedback and suggestions in an official setting.
Leveraging the time-tested values of shared governance, boards can demonstrate transparency and inclusion to ensure not only that board members are aware and informed of stakeholder sentiment, but also that they can make well-informed, strategic decisions.
Define metrics to measure mission fulfillment. The mission is an overall, fundamental statement of identity and purpose, and boards need to ensure that their institutions are working to fulfill the mission through the goals and objectives of a measurable and properly resourced strategic plan.
Boards should ask their chief executives to specify what dashboard metrics, trends, and other indicators need regular oversight to achieve their institutions' missions. They can also make clear what metrics they think matter to mission fulfillment.
Understand where students are in the mission statement. For decades, colleges and universities around the world have worked to reinvent campus priorities and programs to better center the student experience in their work.
Colleges and universities benefit society in many ways, such as by inspiring students to think creatively and to engage in civil discourse, by conducting research that drives innovation, and by serving as a knowledge-sharing community. These elements, as well as the need to educate and empower students for successful lives, may also be a part of the mission statement.
Consider how some institutions incorporate students into their mission as part of our Board Responsibilities for Student Success initiative.
Public institutions must go the extra mile. Public institutions have the additional responsibility of ensuring that the mission remains consistent with what's enshrined in state law.
In these cases, revising the mission is not to be taken lightly. Consider if a change should be made to strategic plans rather than the mission.
Go Deeper:
The AGB publication Higher Education Governing Boards: An Introductory Guide for Members of College, University, and System Boards includes further reading on the board's responsibility for the mission.
AGB's board member orientation includes a section on the board's responsibility for identifying and protecting the college or university mission.
Join us April 2–4, 2023, in San Diego, California, for the AGB National Conference on Trusteeship and discuss with your peers how you review, assess, and update your mission statement.
Question for Board and Committee Chairs
How often does the board review and discuss the mission statement?
Questions for Board Members
When was the mission statement last reviewed and, if necessary, revised? What is the process for changing it?
How does the mission statement differentiate the institution from others?
Questions for Chief Executives and Leadership Teams
What data can the administration bring to show progress toward the mission?
How are deans, department chairs, and faculty consulted to review and potentially develop the mission, or informed of possible changes?
How do you first share the mission with new board members? What context do you share?
As always, thank you for your time, attention, and commitment to higher education.

In the mood for a Mexican inspired meal? In less than 20 minutes, you can serve up this easy, hearty Enchilada Style Chicken, Vegetable & Rice Skillet!
One of my least favorite foods to cook is traditional rice. I pretty much stink at it. For some reason I have a flaw that doesn't allow me to get the rice fully cooked. So I love finding short cuts to still allow me to include rice in my meals without the hassle of preparing it the slow way.
Which is what makes the skillet meal so easy & so quick to put together. It's made with my new rice secret weapon – UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE®. These little pouches give me delicious, fluffy rice in 90 seconds! 90 seconds y'all! And with the wide variety of flavors they have available, you'll have no problems finding the perfect rice to compliment your meal!
Take this Enchilada Style Chicken, Vegetable & Rice Skillet – I made is using UNCLE BEN'S® READY RICE® Jasmine – so the most time consuming part of the dish was cooking the meat. Plus, using the READY RICE® allows it to all be made in just the one skillet which makes clean up a snap!
In a large skillet, cook the ground chicken until no longer pink. Season the meat with the garlic powder, chili powder & cumin while cooking. Remove the chicken from the skillet, drain, & set aside.
In the same skillet, saute the vegetables over medium heat until crisp-tender.
While the veggies are sauteing, cook the Ready Rice in the microwave according to the package directions.
Once the vegetables & rice are both cooked, add the chicken back to the skillet with the veggies. Add in the rice, tomatoes, corn with peppers and the soup. Carefully stir until completely mixed. Allow to heat through.
Top the skillet with the shredded cheddar cheese prior to serving if desired.
Be sure to stop by UNCLE BEN'S® to check out more of their quick & easy dinner ideas!
