I started blogging while helping a friend with some temporary content and I haven't stopped ever since. I blog for myself, I blog for a living, and I blog for self-growth and self-education.
Some of my biggest fears when I became interested in blogging: How do I keep up with successful bloggers? How do I stay motivated and inspired? How do I continue producing fresh quality content without burning out?
For someone who works so much (while trying to wear ten other hats), this not as simple as it sounds. It's easy to lose all reading plans on your to-do list until a more convenient time, *actual* work has to be completed first.
Keep in mind, a key component to healthy and necessary competition is regularly seeing someone else's work and staying on top of industry trends. This also prevents you from becoming burned out and provides new ideas.
This isn't only focused on keeping up with expert articles and professional resources. It's about reading itself.
Reading allows me to refresh my mind, switch gears, and make way for motivational ideas to emerge . It's also the most efficient self-development and personal growth tactic I have personally experienced.
How do I find time to read, when sleep is a luxury I can't afford?
Learn to read fast. I have become a pro at reading, especially when it comes to reading industry news. I don't have time to check RSS feeds: I use my trusted Moz and Hubspot tools to deliver industry news as it happens. You can use Tweetdeck desktop notifications or set up HubSpot Social Inbox email notifications to watch the news without interrupting your workflow. If I spot something reading-worthy, I'll click the link, scan through, the news is absorbed into my mind. One article at a time keeps me up-to-date…forever a student.
Develop your unique way to prioritize your reading list. I have tried lots of note-taking and list-building tools. They all have one problem in common: When I get busy, I don't remember to "refer to my reading list" before beginning new projects, I also forget to remove out-dated goals. My answer: My irreplaceable inbox, something I can't overlook!
I send links to myself and don't clear them out until I read them. I am meticulous with keeping my inbox clean. Thus I force myself to read them as soon as I can.
The moment the idea comes to your mind and you feel good about it, jot it down. I have my "work bible" next to my desk, just a blank notepad that I house all my random thoughts.
Never wait until you have enough time to write the post. If you miss that very important moment of being inspired, that article may never happen.
Do it when you feel like it. Yes, writing your ideas down in precise detail this is likely to distract you from what you are doing, but it will soon become a habit and assist you with organization.
As an active blogger who writes non-stop, feeling helpless, overwhelmed and stuck becomes a problem for us all.
That's the reason I have other blogs that I write for my personal entertainment. My most inspirational blog is dedicated to my German Shepherd, Nala.
It keeps me motivated and helps me discover new ideas. You can always ask the blogging community for ideas and you'll see lots of them from bloggers in your niche and outside (which helps finding other unique perspectives). I became a much more productive writer when I started using my personal blog to brainstorm.
Quora. I find this site very well organized and clutter-free (unlike other q&a sites I tried).
HARO. It hasn't been as successful for me lately, but this is still a great way to collect quotes and opinions to discover unexpected angles for your articles.
Try a different content format.
When I am tired, bored or in a rut, I put together a video or a SlideShare deck – don't laugh.
No time to procrastinate, so creating something visual is actually relaxing and how I get rest. It is refreshing and invigorating, especially if you know the right tools.
Gifdeck and Gyazo GIF to create animated Gif instructions.
These tools are simple and productive, you don't have to spend countless hours to create professional-looking visual content. Bloggers also tend to find inspiration in the process.

Q: why my code delete all data in firebase when i insert new data I am doing a mvc project. I have done insert data coding. But when i want to add like rating module on existing part. It will delete all the data in firebase.
This is sample code at my controller
 [HttpGet]
        public ActionResult GiveRate(string id)
        {
            client = new FireSharp.FirebaseClient(config);
            FirebaseResponse response = client.Get("Products/" + id);
            Product data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Product>(response.Body);
            return View(data);
        }

        [HttpPost]
        public ActionResult GiveRate(Product product)
        {
            client = new FireSharp.FirebaseClient(config);
            SetResponse response = client.Set("Products/" + Product.ProdID, product);
            return RedirectToAction("List");
        }

my class code
public class Product
    {
        public string ProdID { get; set; }
        public string ProdName { get; set; }
        public string price { get; set; }
        public string rating { get; set; }
     }

sample code at view
@using (Html.BeginForm())
{
    @Html.AntiForgeryToken()

        @Html.LabelFor(model => model.rating, htmlAttributes: new { @class = "control-label col-md-2" })

            @Html.EditorFor(model => model.rating, new { htmlAttributes = new { @class = "form-control" } })
            @Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.rating, "", new { @class = "text-danger" })

            <input type="submit" value="Save" class="btn btn-default" />

}

The process is can add rate on the product but after click the button on view will delete all file in firebase. Any way to solve this?

A: When you call Set it replaces all current data at the location with whatever you are passing in.
If you want to add data under an existing location, you either have to call Set on a lower location:
client.Set("Products/" + Product.ProdID + "/Total", 42);

Or alternatively you have to call Update instead of Set, as shown in the Firesharp documentation on updating data.

World Health Organization (WHO) backs Mass Vaccination Campaign against Yellow Fever in Ethiopia
In response to the yellow fever outbreak in Ethiopia in September-October 2018, World Health Organization (WHO) has shipped more than 1 million vaccines for a Mass Vaccination Campaign. A smaller rapid vaccination campaign took place from 13 to 19 October 2018 and around 32,000 people were benefitted. These vaccines for outbreak control are being mobilised from Global Emergency Yellow fever stock pile which has 6 million doses, replenished continuously. This stockpile is managed by International Coordination Group on Vaccine Provision (ICG) and funded by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. This outbreak response is funded by WHO and they will also provide technical assistance at the site. Seven day mass vaccination will protect high risk population above 9 months of age.
The first case of yellow fever was suspected at the end of September this year. Ten people have lost their lives due to this deadly illness which affected many more. No new cases were found after 22 October 2018.
Yellow fever is a vaccine preventable infectious vector borne disease. It is an arboviral disease caused by flavivirus, a RNA virus which is transmitted by mosquito bites (Aedes aegypti). The symptoms are like any other viral flu including fever, nausea, bodyache but what essentially differs is the course. If the illness progresses it affects the hepatobiliary system causing jaundice (hence named yellow fever) and complications of liver cell failure. There is no effective drug against it. This disease is endemic in various parts of Africa and South America. Most of these countries require mandatory certificate for travellers of vaccination against yellow fever. Ethiopia also requires yellow fever vaccination prior to travel. Also Ethiopia is a priority country in global strategy to Eliminate Yellow Fever Epidemics (EYE) by 2026, which also supports 39 other at-risk countries, 26 of them in Africa.
Yellow fever vaccine is a live attenuated 17D vaccine strain and is derived from a wild-type YF virus (the Asibi strain). It is given as a single subcutaneous or intramuscular dose. It is safe with no major adverse events.

Home Basketball Clemson 67, Alabama 54: No Festivus miracle in the Magic City
Clemson 67, Alabama 54: No Festivus miracle in the Magic City
Dec 13, 2015; Clemson, SC, USA; Clemson Tigers forward Donte Grantham (15) protects the ball as Alabama Crimson Tide forward Riley Norris (1) defends during the first half at Bon Secours Wellness Arena. The Crimson Tide won 51-50. Mandatory Credit: Dawson Powers-USA TODAY Sports
Alabama sunk to new depths in its worst performance to date this season, shooting a frigid 32 percent from the floor and turning it over 16 times as Clemson cruised to a 67-54 win in Birmingham.
What did we learn today?: That this team is rudderless because the upperclassmen are practically a lost cause. Sooner or later there is a price to be paid for years of shaky recruiting and the attrition that comes with a coaching change, and a look at the Crimson Tide's top-level classes tells a grim tale. Out of four seniors, two are graduate transfers brought in over the summer from smaller schools and two (Shannon Hale and Jimmie Taylor) must regretfully be classified as recruiting busts unlikely to see the starting lineup again barring injury. Behind them are three juniors, two of whom are in their first year playing for the Tide and one (Riley Norris) who works hard but seems to have reached his ceiling and has also fallen out of the starting five. Experienced players can be brought in but leadership is a homegrown commodity. Bama displayed all the signs of a young team not getting much direction on the floor Sunday. It turned the ball over too much, it rushed up bad shots, it got the yips and couldn't convert open looks and it looked generally panicky and uncertain outside the cocoon of its home arena. Now it will enter SEC play without a non-conference win of note and scrambling just to avoid finishing in one of the bottom four spots in the league. This year may be more about finding out who can lead for the future when next year's freshman class brings in a desperately needed talent infusion than trying to salvage increasingly dim hopes of even an NIT bid.
What were the biggest concerns?: On the 19th anniversary of the birth of Festivus, Bama thoughtfully provided a laundry list of material for an airing of grievances. The mixing and matching of lineups trying to create an offensive spark isn't working, and the idea of working the ball into the paint for shots seems to have been abandoned. Alabama is a bad 3-point shooting team that can't admit it, going an excruciating 3-for-20 from behind the arc. Conversely, the Tigers made nine treys, and seemed to nail one to kill the Tide's momentum whenever it produced the feeblest signs of rallying. Alabama had just seven assists and no player finished with more than two. Braxton Key shot a miserable 2-for-11, Corban Collins had five turnovers and left with a thigh bruise and Dazon Ingram (three points, three turnovers) got benched by the end of the game and looks less sure of his role than ever. The final margin doesn't do justice to how thoroughly Clemson dominated the game. The Tigers led by 18 points and seemed to exert no more energy than necessary to keep the lead in double digits.
What was the best part of the game?: As tempting as it is to reply "none," Alabama did manage to get to the foul line a lot and went a respectable 19-for-25 to avoid being utterly humiliated. And the Crimson Tide won the rebounding battle 37-32 on the strength of 10 offensive boards. Then again it supplied most of the raw material needed for those rebounds, lots and lots of missed shots.
Who was the star?: A good chunk of Avery Johnson Jr.'s 17 points came in garbage time, but on a day when none of his teammates could or would step up to help, he's easily the pick. Johnson went 5-for-11 from the field, added three steals and played a team-high 28 minutes.
What's next?: Bama will try to avoid going under the .500 mark against a dangerous Arkansas State. Tipoff from Huntsville's Von Braun Center is Wednesday at 8 p.m. on the SEC Network.

ACHE/ACCS Open Educational Resources Grant Program
Mr. Ron Leonard
Director of Special Initiatives
The Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE) and the Alabama Community College System (ACCS) have a common goal of reducing the cost of college for Alabama's students. Since textbooks are a major expense for both university and community college students, ACHE and ACCS are co-sponsoring a grant program with $60,000 in total awards to encourage faculty members at Alabama's public institutions of higher education to replace existing expensive traditional textbooks and other costly teaching and learning materials with open educational resources (OER). Open educational resources are teaching and learning materials that instructors and students may freely use and reuse at no cost without asking permission. Unlike traditionally copyrighted resources, OER are developed and posted for public use by the creators who agree to retain few, if any, ownership rights.
While the primary purpose of the OER grant program is to reduce students' textbook costs, additional positive outcomes are expected. Open educational resources are designed to be available to all students on the first day of class, and therefore improve course accessibility for financially-strapped students. And because OER are either created by (or adopted and modified by) the students' instructor, they are more perfectly aligned with classroom instruction, promoting higher achievement of desired learning outcomes by all students, regardless of socio-economic status.

'I'm coming for you': Mayor makes 'veiled threat' against police chief after DUI arrest, cops say
by Chris Agee
The mayor of an Illinois town is in hot water after a police report revealed allegations that he became belligerent and appeared to threaten an officer questioning him during a suspected DUI traffic stop.
According to Fox News, Romeoville Mayor John Noak was pulled over by a local officer on April 12, shortly after he delivered a State of the Village address.
Police reportedly received a report that the 44-year-old was driving recklessly, prompting an officer to initiate a stop.
According to authorities, the police cruiser's lights were flashing for a prolonged period of time before Noak ultimately stopped his vehicle, as reported by the Chicago Tribune.
When the officer approached, the mayor appeared to be talking on his phone. Noak allegedly blamed "talking to people" for his apparent inability to remain within the lanes on the road.
Police also noticed "fresh damage" to his vehicle and, upon request, Noak allegedly refused to consent to tests of his breath, urine or blood.
After he was placed in custody, the police report indicates he refused to answer questions.
Romeoville Police Chief Mark Turvey interviewed the mayor three times after he was transported to the police station. During one encounter, reports indicate Noak asked if the area "was under surveillance."
When he was told there was visual surveillance but no sound recording, he "then spoke to Chief Turvey and said, 'I'm coming for you,'" according to police.
The suspect's "tone and demeanor" caused officers to interpret the remark as "a veiled threat," though it "was not accompanied with any aggressive body language or movements."
He later made another response, accompanied by a hand gesture, to an officer escorting him out of the station.
"No, you're done," Noak allegedly said when the officer said that the "process is done" in light of the mayor's behavior.
The mayor released a statement apologizing for the incident and citing his attorney's advice in declining to further comment.
"Once the case is concluded I will provide a more detailed statement," he said.

Sir John Everard ( – 1624) was an Irish barrister, politician and judge. He was notable as the last Irish judge until the reign of James II to openly profess the Roman Catholic faith. His religious beliefs eventually led to his enforced resignation from the Bench in 1607. He then entered politics and was a member of the Irish Parliament of 1613–1615. The Catholic members elected him as speaker of the House of Commons and installed him in the speaker's chair, but due to the creation of new pocket boroughs by James I, the Protestants had the majority and elected Sir John Davies. Everard, in a farcical scene, initially refused to vacate the chair until he was literally sat upon, which caused him to fall into disgrace for a time, but he was later restored to royal favour. His second son Sir Richard Everard was created the first of the Everard baronets of Ballyboy.

Background
He was a native of Fethard, County Tipperary, and was the eldest son of Sir Redmond Everard, head of a Roman Catholic family which effectively owned the town of Fethard. Nothing seems to be known about his mother.

He entered the Inner Temple in 1578, and after an unusually long delay was called to the Bar in 1590. It has been suggested that he had not initially intended to practise at the Bar, and only changed his mind when he had a family to support. Nonetheless, he soon earned a reputation as a "learned counsel", whose clients included several prominent members of the Butler dynasty, notably the Earl of Ormond, and was also in demand as an arbitrator. He entered the King's Inns, which after a hiatus of some years was revived in 1607. He had his own Chambers in the Inns, and initially he and the Treasurer, Sir John Elliott of Balreask, were allowed to have their sons lodge with them, although this privilege was later withdrawn.

In 1602 he was appointed a justice of the Court of King's Bench (Ireland) and knighted. He also sat regularly in the  Court of Castle  Chamber, the Irish mirror image of Star Chamber. He went regularly on assize in Meath, Louth and Kilkenny.

Judicial career
While several Irish judges secretly remained loyal to the Roman Catholic faith, Everard was unique among the judges of his era in openly professing it, as did his brother James, who became a Jesuit. This gave grave offence to the Crown, especially at a time when the Lord Deputy of Ireland was Sir Arthur Chichester, a firm Protestant who vigorously enforced the Penal Laws, even going to the lengths of executing Catholic bishops. Everard however was held in high regard by most of those who knew him – even Chichester liked him personally – and for a time he was allowed to retain office, partly due to the difficulty in finding a suitable replacement. In the long run, his position was untenable and he resigned, presumably under official pressure, in 1607. He was given a  generous pension, and the office of chief judge, or seneschal, of the Palatine Court of Tipperary. The Earl of Ormond had palatine jurisdiction over the county of Tipperary, with power to appoint judges and sheriffs; the court was abolished by the County Palatine of Tipperary Act 1715, although that office was largely a sinecure,  which was described contemptuously as "the judicial scrapheap". However, in the 1680s the workload was apparently heavy enough to require two judges. He remained a member of the King's Inns, and was made a bencher in 1609.

Civic  improvements

He was effectively the owner of the town of Fethard, and he did much to improve it, laying out the main street and building the Tholsel (town hall). He also held substantial lands in Tipperary and in County Waterford. Though he was accused by his opponents of engaging in dubious land dealings he was also noted for his acts of charity, and obtained a royal charter to found two almshouses in Fethard in 1611.

Politics
In 1613 the only Irish Parliament of the reign of James I was called, and Everard was returned as member of the House of Commons for Tipperary (his father had represented the same constituency in the Parliament of 1585–6). He was the choice of the Catholic members, who were still, if not a majority, at least a very large minority, as Speaker; but Lord Deputy Chichester was determined that his own right-hand man Sir John Davies, the Attorney General for Ireland, should be Speaker. The Catholic members, led by Thomas  Luttrell, MP for Dublin,   declared that Everard had been elected and he took the Speaker's chair. Matters then descended into farce when the Government declared that Davies had been elected Speaker: Everard, normally a man of good sense, foolishly refused to leave the chair until Davies, a very fat man, sat on him. Everard and his supporters then withdrew in protest.

As a result of his conduct he was summoned to England and imprisoned in the Tower of London, and was expelled from the King's Inns. He was soon freed, and on his return to Ireland he urged the Catholic community to show moderation, although he continued to press in Parliament for greater toleration for his co-religionists. Despite the debacle of his failed election as Speaker, he played an active role in the Parliament of 1613–5.

He was readmitted to the King's Inns, at the request, perhaps surprisingly, of Lord Deputy Chichester. Despite their differences in matters of religion, the two men had become friends and business partners, and Chichester wrote to the Council of the King's Inns, praising Everard's good conduct in Parliament, and suggesting that a man who was "so worthy in everything except religion" should be readmitted. The council, apparently without much enthusiasm, complied. Among his fellow lawyers at the Inns was the judge and  MP Sir Christopher Sibthorpe, noted for his strong Puritan beliefs and anti-Catholic polemics, but the two men seem to have avoided an open quarrel. Sibthorpe however was one  of  those who opposed Everard's  readmission to the Inns, and  more generally  opposed the admission of Catholics to the Bar.

Later years
After Chichester was recalled as Lord Deputy in 1616, Everard felt confident enough to write to the English Crown, urging the relaxation of the laws against recusancy, and for the admission of Catholics to the legal profession. His hopes of reform were quickly dashed, as Chichester's successor Oliver St John, 1st Viscount Grandison, continued the policy of persecuting recusants, especially priests. Nonetheless, Everard was still well regarded by the Crown, receiving several privileges in the form of the right to hold fairs and markets, although his religion now debarred him from playing a prominent role in public affairs. He continued to diligently manage the business affairs of the Ormonde family. He was briefly imprisoned in 1620 for unknown reasons. In the same year, he settled substantial estates on his second son Richard, who was made a Baronet two years later. In his last years he enjoyed the friendship of the powerful Anglo-Irish magnate Richard Boyle, 1st Earl of Cork, with whom he engaged in several business transactions, and whom he entertained at his home shortly before his death in 1624.

Family
He married Catherine Comerford, daughter of Fulke (or Fulco) Comerford of Callan, County Kilkenny and Rosina Rothe, and sister of his judicial colleague Gerald Comerford. Catherine probably died before 1624, as she was not mentioned in her husband's last will and testament.

John and Catherine had at least four sons, including:
Nicholas, a barrister, who was admitted to the Inner Temple in 1604, and in 1607 to the King's Inns where, as a special privilege, he was allowed to share his father's chambers.
Richard, who in his father's lifetime was created a Baronet, of Ballyboy, County Tipperary. He became a prominent member of Confederate Ireland, and was condemned to death by the victorious Cromwellian forces in 1651. He was reprieved, and died in prison about 1660.

AMUP Pant, an Indian living in Zambia, says yoga is not only a form of exercise but a traditional practice for him and many other Indians.Mr Pant, however, believes that yoga should be a form of exercise for everyone regardless of race, creed or religion.
"Like a sun does not have any region, yoga is fit for everyone. It is good for creating a better environment and a healthy people," he says.
Mr Pant has been practising yoga since he was a child and can attest to the fact that the exercise brings a sense of balance as it refreshes the mind, body and soul through body and mind exercise.
Though he usually practices at home, Mr Pant has today joined the Indian community and many others who have come to commemorate the International Day of Yoga.
On December 11 2014, the United Nations General Assembly declared the International Day of Yoga which is commemorated on June 21st every year.
This year's international yoga day in Zambia was commemorated on June 23rd at the Indian High Commission under the theme 'Peace'.
It day creates an opportunity for people to learn more about the practice and understand the importance of yoga.
According to the Indian tradition, yoga leads to the union of individual consciousness, indicating a perfect harmony between the mind and body, man and nature.
The term yoga is derived from the Sanskrit root 'YUJ', meaning to join or 'to yoke' or 'to unite.
It is a meditative means of discovering dysfunctional perception and cognition, as well as overcoming it for release from suffering, inner peace and salvation; illustration of this principle is found in Hindu texts such as the Bhagavad Gita and Yogasutras, in a number of Buddhist Mahayana works, as well as Jain texts.
It is believed that besides promoting a healthy lifestyle, yoga also helps prevent diseases and studies are ongoing to determine the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma, and heart disease.
But many attest to its amazing effectiveness at rejuvenating the system. Alphonso Kapesa, who participated for the first time at this year's international day of yoga says he felt refreshed and rejuvenated.
"I feel relieved and refreshed to participate at the international day of yoga. I have enjoyed myself and I will be doing yoga even at home, I have also learned that yoga is a relaxed form of exercise that can be done by any one regardless of age," he says.
Mr Kapesa, a resident of Kalingalinga, expressed concern that people in Zambia do not take the issue of exercise seriously.
Another participant, Kasonde Kasonde, says yoga is more beneficial to the body because it involves a process of full package exercises.
"With yoga, you exercise the whole body and the mind, I feel refreshed after the session. I have been exercising for some time, I will also include yoga as part of my exercise now that I have learnt how it is done and its health benefits to the body," Mr Kasonde said.
He observed that Zambia is grappling with Non Communicable Diseases (NDCs) because less than 50 percent of the population exercises.
Mr Kasonde says there is need for more people in Zambia to embrace yoga and other forms of exercise to promote wellness and a healthy lifestyle.
Meanwhile, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a televised address said yoga brings about oneness in the body, mind and soul.
"We need to embrace yoga to curb hypertension and other NDCs which have become silent killers. Practising yoga helps to break barriers of gender, race and creed," Mr Modi said.
He said yoga relieves mental stress and fear through refreshing the mind, body and soul.
Mr Modi said yoga promotes a bond of oneness with society, family and the world at large.
"Yoga does not discriminate against any one, all you need is willingness to practise it.in a world of fear, yoga promises hope and courage," he said.
And Indian High Commissioner Ngulkham Gangte commended the Zambian who have started practising yoga and said there is need for the Zambian government to formalise yoga as a form of exercise.
Mr Gangte says yoga as a form or exercise promotes unity among people of different races, religion and creed.
"We urge the government of Zambia to promote yoga as a form of exercise to promote a health population. Yoga provides a lot of health benefits to the body and the mind which are vital in human development," he said.
Mr Gangte expressed happiness at the stance the Zambian government has taken in promoting wellness through the national health week.
He said the Indian government will continue promoting and practising yoga in Zambia to promote wellness and healthy lifestyle.
Meanwhile, Minister of health Permanent Secretary for technical services Jabbin Mulwanda said yoga provides a holistic approach that is valuable to health and well-being.
"Yoga embodies unity of mind and body, it is not just about exercise but a way to discover the sense of oneness with yourself, the world and nature. Yoga is more than physical exercise, it cultivates ways of maintaining a balanced attitude in day to day life and endows skills in the performance of one's action," Dr Mulwanda said.
He said there is need for Zambians to embrace exercise as part of their culture.
"Being healthy is not just in body but the mind also, that's what yoga promotes. Yoga is just another form of exercise which should be embraced to curb hypertension, high blood pressure and diabetes," Dr Mulwanda said.

Flintoff shapes up for boxing show
Binguyen Wikimedia.org
Former England cricket hero Andrew "Freddie" Flintoff is to try his hand at boxing in a new TV series for Sky. The famously combative fast bowler will pull on the gloves in preparation for a live bout against a professional boxer.
The Gloves Are Off will follow Flintoff's preparation for the fight in two hour-long special documentaries, with training provided by former world champion Barry McGuigan.
Flintoff has been attempting to launch a career in the media since his retirement from cricket, but this will be a chance to reclaim a little sporting attention. "It's an amazing opportunity to try a sport that I love," Flintoff said, "to be tutored by a man I respect and admire and, at the age of 34, the chance to be a professional sportsman again."
Flintoff has the height and build of a boxer, but it will be a daunting task to equip him with the necessary protective instincts and ringcraft to make him a credible fighter in the limited amount of time available. "It's a huge challenge," he admitted, "probably the biggest I have ever undertaken, especially in such a short time frame. I have a long road ahead and a lot of work in front of me. The stakes are high."
Flintoff's bout will be shown live on Sky's dedicated boxing channel. Trainer McGuigan said: "It is an enormous undertaking to have a professional fight having no experience whatsoever. It is even more demanding when you're a legend in another sport. But I'm convinced Freddie will make a successful pro debut as a boxer."

Texas Commission to Discuss Reforms to Use...
Texas Commission to Discuss Reforms to Use of Jailhouse Informants
A panel appointed to study wrongful convictions and recommend reforms in Texas will meet today to discuss the use of jailhouse informants in criminal trials, according to the Austin American-Statesman.
The Tim Cole Exoneration Review Commission, named for Timothy Brian Cole who was wrongfully convicted of rape and died in a Texas prison in 1999, will discuss a list of proposed reforms for how officials handle incentivized witnesses. The final reforms will be presented to the Texas Legislature for its review by December 1.
The prospective reforms include requiring judges to hold pre-trial hearings assessing the reliability of the informant; informing jurors of the informant's criminal history, including charges reduced under plea bargains; instructing the jury as to the problems with incentivized witnesses and the creation of a system that tracks the use of jailhouse informants throughout the state.
"Innocent people get convicted based on the state-sponsored testimony of jailhouse snitches," Mike Ware, executive director of the Innocence Project of Texas, told the American-Statesman. "Unfortunately, what drives whether or not a prosecutor uses a jailhouse informant is how bad they need them. If it's a high-profile case, and if evidence is lacking, they need them."
Jailhouse informants are one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions nationwide. According to Innocence Project data, incentivized informants contributed to 17 percent of the nation's 344 DNA exonerations.

Shirley Southerland says:
September 19, 2016 at 9:38 am ●
I am wrongfully convicted. I spent 26yrs in prison on a life sentence. I'm convicted by testimony of a jailhouse informant and drug dealers. No physical evidence. But there is evidence to prove I'm innocent. I just can't get help to show it in court. I'm grateful to be out of prison, but until I'm exonerated I'll never be truly free. I hope I won't have to die before I'm exonerated like Timothy Cole. My name at the time of my conviction was Shirley Southerland.
I hope one day someone at the Innocence Project will take my call and listen. Everything I have was collected by The Worley Group (retired federal agents) and they believe in my innocence because they read the files they collected out of Harris County and did their own investigation.
I will never stop trying to get my wrongful conviction overturned. Its what I live for. Too bad Timothy didn't live to see himself free. That's why I want to join the battles against wrongful conviction, so no one else will suffer in prison knowing they're innocent and die before the truth sets them free.
I pray someone will read this message and call me 903-574-6798

Penn team elucidates evolution of bitter taste sensitivity
This material is available primarily for archival purposes. Telephone numbers or other contact information may be out of date; please see current contact information at media contacts.
People often have strong negative reactions to bitter substances, which, though found in healthful foods like vegetables, can also signify toxicity. For this reason, the ability to sense bitterness likely played an important role in human evolution. A new study by University of Pennsylvania scientists suggests that a genetic mutation that makes certain people sensitive to the taste of a bitter compound appears to have been advantageous for certain human populations in Africa.Full Story

Mr. Kennan then describes how he tried to set the record of his thoughts and feelings with Mr. Lippmann right, composing a long, detailed letter to him which was never sent but which he reviews for the reader of his Memoirs. He then relates what he did do: "I took a more cruel but less serious revenge a year or two later when I ran into him on a parlor car of the Pennsylvania Railroad, and wore him relentlessly down with a monologue on these same subjects that lasted most of the way from Washington to New York."
"But the terms of the unsent letter still hold, as I see them, a certain interest as expressions of the way the Lippmann columns then affected me.
"I began, of course, with a peal of anguish over the confusion about the Truman Doctrine and the Marshall Plan. To be held as the author of the former, and to have the latter held up to me as the mature correction of my youthful folly, hurt more than anything else.
"I also naturally went to great lengths to disclaim the view, imputed to me by implication in Mr. Lippmann's columns, that containment was a matter of stationing military forces around the Soviet borders and preventing any outbreak of Soviet military aggressiveness. I protested, as I was to do on so many other occasions over the course of the ensuing eighteen years, against the implication that the Russians were aspiring to invade other areas and that the task of American policy was to prevent them from doing so. 'The Russians don't want,' I insisted, 'to invade anyone. It is not in their tradition. They tried it once in Finland and got their fingers burned. They don't want war of any kind. Above all, they don't want the open responsibility that official invasion brings with it. They far prefer to do the job politically with stooge forces. Note well: when I say politically, that does not mean without violence. But it means that the violence is nominally domestic, not international, violence. It is, if you will, a police violence…not a military violence.
"The policy of containment related to the effort to encourage other peoples to resist this type of violence and to defend the internal integrity of their countries.
"I tried, then, to explain (I could have done it better) that the article was in reality a plea — addressed as much to our despairing liberals as to our hotheaded right-wingers — for acceptance of the belief that, ugly as was the problem of Soviet power, it was not inevitable, nor was it a suitable answer; that there was a middle ground of political resistance on which we could stand with reasonable prospect of success. We were, in fact, already standing on that ground quite successfully. And I went ahead to point proudly (and rather unfairly, for after all, Lippmann had approved and praised the rationale of the Marshall Plan in his articles) to what had already been accomplished. I cite this passage here, not as a correction to Mr. Lippmann, to whose arguments it was not really an answer, but as a sort of epilogue to the discussion of both Marshall Plan and X-Article.
'Something over a year has now gone by since General Marshall took over his present job. I would ask you to think back on the state of the world, as he faced it last spring. At that time, it was almost impossible to see how Europe could be saved. We were still caught in the fateful confusion between the "one-world" and the "two-world" concepts. The economic plight of the continent was rapidly revealing itself as far worse than anyone had dreamed, and was steadily deteriorating. Congress was in an ugly frame of mind, convinced that all foreign aid was "operation rathole." The Communists were at the throat of France. A pall of fear, of bewilderment, of discouragement, hung over the continent and paralyzed all constructive activity. Molotov sat adamant at the Moscow council table, because he saw no reason to pay us a price for things which he thought were bound to drop into his lap, like ripe fruits, through the natural course of events.
'Compare that with today? Europe is admittedly not over the hump. But no fruits have dropped [into Molotov's lap]. We know what is West and what is East. Moscow was itself compelled to make that unpleasant delineation. Recovery is progressing rapidly in the West. New hope exists. People see the possibility of a better future. The Communist position in France has been deeply shaken. The Western nations have found common political language. They are learning to lean on each other, and to help each other. Those who fancied they were neutral are beginning to realize that they are on our side. A year ago only that which was Communist had firmness and structure. Today the non-Communist world is gaining daily in rigidity and in the power of resistance. Admittedly, the issue hangs on Italy; but it hangs, in reality, on Italy alone. A year ago it hung on all of Europe and on us.
'You may say: this was not the doing of U.S. policy makers; it was others who worked this miracle.
'Certainly, we did not do it alone; and I have no intention of attempting to apportion merit. But you must leave us some pride in our own legerdemain. In international affairs, the proof of the pudding is always in the eating. If the development of the past year had been in the opposite direction – if there had been a deterioration of our position as great as the actual improvement – there is not one of you who would not have placed the blame squarely on the failure of American statesmanship. Must it always, then, be 'heads you win; tails I lose' for the U.S. Government?'
"In the years that have passed since that time, the myth of the 'doctrine of containment' has never fully lost its spell. On innumerable occasions, I have been asked to explain it, to say whether I thought it had been a success, to explain how it applied to China, to state a view as to whether it was still relevant in later situations, etc. It has been interpreted by others in a variety of ways. Pro-Soviet writers have portrayed it as the cloak for aggressive designs on the Soviet Union. Right-wing critics have assailed it precisely for its lack of aggressiveness: for its passivity, for its failure to promise anything like 'victory.' Serious commentators have maintained that it was all very well in 1947 but that it lost its rationale with the Korean War, or with Stalin's death, or with the decline of bipolarity.
"It is hard for me to respond to all these criticisms. What I said in the X-Article was not intended as a doctrine. I am afraid that when I think about foreign policy, I do not think in terms of doctrines. I think in terms of principles.
"In writing the X-Article, I had in mind a long series of what seemed to me to be concessions that we had made, during the course of the war and just after it, to Russian expansionist tendencies – concessions made in the hope and belief that they would promote collaboration between our government and the Soviet government in the postwar period. I had also in mind the fact that many people, seeing that these concessions had been unsuccessful and that we had been unable to agree with the Soviet leaders on the postwar order Europe and Asia, were falling into despair and jumping to the panicky conclusion that this spelled the inevitability of an eventual war between the Soviet Union and the United States.

"I was not new to the cause, or uninformed. My daughter, Talia is the Team Leader for the Ryerson team of TAA. We had heard the stories, good and bad.
But still, I was not prepared. I was not prepared for the camaraderie of the group. All ages, various backgrounds, but genuinely joined for a cause that takes precedence. A cause that takes precedence over comfort–it was freezing! And a cause that takes you out of your comfort zone. It's not easy being the sign bearer that others cross the street to avoid. Or to directly be singled out with a verbal barrage.
I was certainly not prepared for the blessing it was. For the heart-lift when someone gave a thumbs up. For the inner warmth at the whisper from a passerby, I'm with you.
Choice chain? Not for the faint of heart…but, don't miss it. Don't wait until you take an apologetics class or study about how to state your case. Just, volunteer. Be there. Be present. Hold a sign.
If you don't know the answers, someone in the group does. You just have to start others thinking about their own questions. Is that really what it looks like? Is that what happens in an abortion…. Is that really okay?
Email ryerson@torontoagainstabortion.org to find out how you can be a voice for preborn children at the Ryerson Campus.

Contact Tracing and Library Workers
Some see contact tracing as an intrusive privacy concern and some see it as necessary for combating the virus. Like it or not, it would appear that contact tracing is going to be a new reality for American library workers. Let's start a conversation on the Dos and Do-Nots of conducting contact tracing in our libraries.

Is Privacy Partisan? Apple verses the FBI
A new article out from The Atlantic examines whether privacy is becoming a partisan issue. Traditionally, digital privacy has been an issue that people from across the political spectrum have been able to come together to support. Between lefty people concerned about civil liberties and people on the right concerned about government encroachment, privacy is one of the issues that has been consistently able to attract strange bedfellows in Washington and throughout the country. However, the recent case between the FBI and Apple has shown that when the question gets reframed, support for digital privacy can drop like a stone.
