MARTINSVILLE, Va. — Martin Truex Jr. was celebrating the victory that locked him into NASCAR's title race when he heard the crowd roar, looked up at the big screen and saw two championship contenders jawing at each other on pit road.
"Oh, look, a fight," the winner said.
Indeed, Denny Hamlin was knocked to the ground in a confrontation with Joey Logano in the most intense action of an otherwise lackluster playoff Sunday at Martinsville Speedway.
Truex earned a spot in NASCAR's championship race for the third consecutive year by leading 464 of the 500 laps. He's the first driver to claim one of the four spots in the Nov. 17 title race at Homestead-Miami Speedway while leading the most laps in a win since Kyle Petty led 484 laps in 1992 at Rockingham.
There were just three lead changes, and Truex controlled the event from the first round of pit stops, when he beat Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Hamlin back onto the track for the lead. He was hardly challenged at all and his Toyota coasted to his first career victory at NASCAR's shortest track.
"We're going to Homestead again and that was what we tried to accomplish this weekend," Truex said. "We don't have to worry about points anymore. We can just get to work on our Homestead car."
Martinsville marked the first of three races in the round of eight of the playoffs, where the field will be trimmed to a winner-take-all final four for the finale. Truex is locked in, while Hamlin, Kyle Busch and Logano are above the cutline. Kevin Harvick, Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott and Kyle Larson are the bottom four.
The next two rounds will be must-win situations for Elliott, NASCAR's most popular driver, who suffered a catastrophic mechanical failure and finished 36th in the 38-car field. A victory earns a playoff driver an automatic berth into the final four.
For Truex, the win was redemption from a year ago at Martinsville when he raced Logano cleanly over the closing laps and Logano snatched the win away from Truex. Logano then won the championship.
"After last year, everybody wants to keep talking about last year, and I'm like 'We've got work to do,'" said Truex, the 2018 champion who will race for the title for the fourth time in five years.
But as he celebrated, the crowd focus turned to pit road where Hamlin and Logano were having what appeared to be a civil conversation. Hamlin wagged his finger at Logano, then Logano placed his hand on Hamlin's shoulder somewhat flippantly as he walked away. Hamlin chased after him, crew members got into the way and Hamlin was knocked to the ground.
Hamlin said after it was how Logano typically handles confrontation.
"It was a discussion. I understand him coming over and talking, standing there and having a discussion with him, everything was fine," Hamlin said. "I think he didn't get me agitated enough. So he said something and then pokes a little bit and then runs away trying to get me to come so he could hide behind his guys. He's just not that tough. And he won't stand face to face. That's just his style.
"It was civil and then like Joey does, he does a little push and then runs away. He said, 'Do you want to go?' I said 'Yes, I'm here' and then he runs away."
For good measure, Hamlin did an imitation of Logano picked up on the big screen that brought the crowd to its feet in approval.
Logano said the incident stemmed from on-track contact when Hamlin shoved Logano into the wall and caused a cut tire.
"I just wanted to talk to him about it and was pretty frustrated. He just kind of came off the corner like there wasn't another car on the outside of him and ruined our day. A shot at the win for sure," Logano said. "Maybe shouldn't have shoved him there at the end. I honestly just wanted to see what he was going to say, and he really wasn't apologetic at all. That's more frustrating when someone is like that, isn't it? When someone wrecks you and he's like, 'Meh.' That's not really what I was going for there. I just wanted to see what his thoughts were, and wasn't quite the answer I was looking for."
William Byron and Brad Keselowski, both already eliminated from the playoffs, finished second and third.
Hamlin was fourth, followed by Blaney, another playoff contender.
Kurt Busch, eliminated from the playoffs in the first round, was sixth and followed by title contenders Harvick, Logano and Larson at his worst track in this round.
Kyle Busch had a really rough day and finished 18th, which would have been worst of the title contenders if not for Elliott's issues.
Elliott had to start at the back of the field because of an engine change but worked his way inside the top-five until he stopped for a routine service. His Chevrolet lurched as he pulled away and he radioed in to his Hendrick Motorsports crew that he believed he had a broken axle.
Elliott returned to pit road for lengthy attempts at a repair before he finally drove his car to the garage for more intense work. It dropped him to last in the field by the end of the second stage.
Elliott returned to the track down 52 laps from the leaders and in a must-win situation either next week at Texas or in the elimination race of the third round of the playoffs at ISM Raceway outside Phoenix.
Truex meanwhile, won all three stages of the race. He took control of the race coming off pit road during service stops under yellow in the first stage and quickly went to work lapping most of the field. Hamlin started from the pole but had a below-average first pit stop under caution after leading the first 31 laps. He restarted fifth, with teammate Truex the new leader and Truex was never challenged in winning his third race of these playoffs.

Perspective taking can promote short-term inclusionary behavior toward Syrian refugees.
Adida, Claire L;	Lo, Adeline;	Platas, Melina R.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A; 115(38): 9521-9526, 2018 09 18.
Social scientists have shown how easily individuals are moved to exclude outgroup members. Can we foster inclusion instead? This study leverages one of the most significant humanitarian crises of our time to test whether, and under what conditions, American citizens adopt more inclusionary behavior toward Syrian refugees. We conduct a nationally representative survey of over 5,000 American citizens in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election and experimentally test whether a perspective-taking exercise increases inclusionary behavior in the form of an anonymous letter supportive of refugees to be sent to the 45th President of the United States. Our results indicate that the perspective-taking message increases the likelihood of writing such a positive letter by two to five percentage points. By contrast, an informational message had no significant effect on letter writing. The effect of the perspective-taking exercise occurs in the short run only, manifests as a behavioral rather than an attitudinal response, and is strongest among Democrats. However, this effect also appears in the subset of Republican respondents, suggesting that efforts to promote perspective taking may move to action a wide cross-section of individuals.

Filler injection is among the most common non-surgical facial rejuvenation procedures in Minnesota. Traditionally, the procedure requires the use of sharp beveled hypodermal needle. It is typically painful while injecting in the facial skin, especially when a large volume of filler is used or when used in sensitive areas such as the lips because it is cutting through the skin and tissue. It also could potentially cut through small blood vessels which can cause bruising.
With the introduction of a blunt tip needle, also called a microcannula, it is possible to have a near painless and bruise-free procedure. Blunt tip needles for filler injections are similar to regular needles, but they are longer and more flexible, and they have blunt tips and ports on the sides allowing the filler to be distributed more evenly.
• Less pain: traditional filler injections need numerous needle sticks, but blunt tip needles need only two entry points for a typical filler injection. A longer, more flexible needle with a blunt tip is able to reach much larger areas.
• Bruise-free: The beauty of the blunt tip is it allows the needle to easily steer its way around blood vessels instead of cutting through them with traditional needles.
• More skin rejuvenation: Mechanical stimulation caused by the needle's back-and-forth movement induces micro-trauma in local tissue, which stimulates fibroblast to produce new collagen and stimulates platelets to release growth factors.
The patients in Minneapolis and St Paul are thrilled that they can feel less pain and can say goodbye to bruises after injections. For more information on painless, bruise-free filler injections with blunt tip needles, please call 952-922-9999.

Criteo has released its UK FMCG Deep Dive – Taking Stock of the Future of Grocery report, exploring the latest e-Retail themes and trends in the UK FMCG marketplace, and providing insights for online and 'brick' brands and retailers on key ecommerce tactics and best practices.
It includes the impact of mobile on grocery shopping, and identifies the most searched terms used by shoppers and which products shoppers inevitably buy.
Ben Cooper, Managing Director, Europe, Criteo Sponsored Product said, "UK brands have spent years developing powerful relationships with shoppers, but need to adapt their marketing practices, refined through years of in-store experience, to engage with customers online in new and more innovative ways.
"Ensuring that both physical and online retail stores are closely aligned, keeping abreast with changing market needs, offering best-in-class customer service, and products that live up to their brand's promise will give them the advantage. The reward? A weekly presence in the baskets of their loyal online customers," he concluded.
Optimise how your products appear online: Products on computer and phone screens have to work so much harder than in store where their shapes and colours pop. Online, shoppers say that they'd like to see bigger images, closer up ones and when necessary, a 360-degree view. Copy is also important, especially in categories like baby where nutrition and ingredient information is paramount.
Ecommerce media requires an "always on" strategy: Ecommerce has fundamentally changed retailing seasonality. Ensuring that there is sufficient to cover brand budget throughout the entire year, as well as promotional peak times is vital.
Use paid search to help increase organic rankings: The "winner takes all" world of eGrocery – where carts are persistent and brands are powerful – favours established products that achieved early success in ecommerce. Paid search, however, can level the early advantage.
Use retargeting to ensure your shoppers complete the buy: Persistent carts are a given in the FMCG category as shoppers often develop their carts over a week's time before checking out. Retargeting can help make the sale.
Use sponsored products to drive awareness and sales: Criteo's Sponsored Products, which are relevant to the purchaser and what they are shopping for, can help consumers find products in large-basket-size, multiple-SKU categories like FMCG.

Abraham Morrell
Morrell, Abraham
No biographical information concerning Abraham Morrell has been located. Judging from his papers, he was a resident of the village of Middle Village in the Town of Newtown. His papers extend basically from the 1820s to the 1850s, and it is assumed that they are the papers of one man, not two, with the same name. There are about 65 documents in this collection, virtually all of which are receipts or receipted bills. These have been grouped together by decades, 1820s, 1830s, 1840s, 1850s. There is also an undated category which also contains one 1865 document and one 1892 document, this latter most probably a stray item, not really having any connection with the rest of the collection. The last category also contains a few fragments of documents. The receipts and bills are probably a mixture of both personal and business items, there being, for instance, a few receipts for a daughter's tuition, and there are several which would seem to indicate that perhaps Morrell was a cart man, that is, an individual who either used a cart or rented one to deliver materials, etc. to various individuals.

How the risk of Covid-19 for kids compares to other dangers – Vox.com
Kids are back in school. The federal government seems to be on the verge of approving vaccines for younger children. And as more adults are fully vaccinated, much of the US is slowly returning to normal.
But there remains a lingering question, particularly for parents of young children: What is the risk of Covid-19 to kids, especially after the rise of the delta variant?
There were reports this summer of more children under 18 falling ill with Covid-19, and some pediatric hospital wards filling up, leading many to believe that the pandemic is now a serious threat to children, too. At the very least, it's abundantly clear now that children can be infected by and transmit the coronavirus.
But experts maintain that the risks most children face from Covid-19 are low, even with the delta variant. "The risk in children has not changed with the new variant as far as we can tell," Betsy Herold, a pediatric infectious disease physician at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, told me.
Herold estimates that less than 2 percent of children known to be infected by the coronavirus are hospitalized, and less than 0.03 percent of those infected die. It's difficult to draw direct comparisons to American adults now that two-thirds in the US are vaccinated, while most kids aren't. But before widespread vaccination, about 10 percent of people infected with Covid-19 were hospitalized, and around 1 percent died.
While there isn't as much research on children and Covid-19 as experts would prefer, the data we do have suggests the risk of longer-term consequences, like long Covid or MIS-C (in which several organs become inflamed), is also very low.

The delta variant is both more transmissible and more widespread than earlier variants, which has meant that even a low-risk disease has filled up many pediatric wards. But while delta has made more children sick, it has not made infected children sicker — it doesn't appear to be linked to worse disease among kids, experts said.
That's still a public health problem. If the risk of death for children is around 0.01 percent and 1,000 children are infected, you would expect no deaths. But if 1 million are infected, you would expect 100 deaths. Increased transmission, not a deadlier virus, helps explain why pediatric wards are more crowded now than they were earlier in the pandemic, and shows that even a low-risk disease could lead to many deaths if enough children catch it. With nearly 5 million children with confirmed infections in the US so far, we are seeing that in the real world.
We also don't know exactly why children are at much lower risk of Covid-19, and the situation could still change — a variant could evolve that proves more dangerous to children.
But experts, on the whole, are optimistic so far that children's natural defenses against the virus have held up. That resilience isn't just good news for parents; it's a hopeful sign for the future of Covid-19. As the virus becomes endemic, future generations might be regularly exposed to SARS-CoV-2 at a young age. But children's natural defenses are likely to crush it, building immunity, piece by piece, that could help shield them for a long time. Coupled with the vaccines, the generational buildup in natural immunity could, over time, defang the virus.
Kids are still at relatively low risk of severe Covid-19
Compared to other age groups, people under 18 are at much lower risk of serious illness and death from Covid-19. The death rate for Americans under 18 who are infected is about 0.01 percent, compared to 5 percent for 65- to 74-year-olds, 12 percent for 75- to 84-year-olds, and 25 percent for people 85 and older. In total, people 50 and up make up 94 percent of Covid-19 deaths in the US, based on federal data.
German Lopez/Vox
"We've known from the beginning that Covid is relatively mild in children compared to adults — and especially older adults," Shamez Ladhani, a pediatric infectious diseases specialist at St. George's Hospital in London, told me.
The risk is even lower for children under 10, experts told me. Infants under 1 year old might be at higher risk than slightly older children due to their immature immune systems, but the data is way too thin to draw any conclusions for infants.
Another way to gauge risk is to compare Covid-19 to other significant causes of death. Covid-19 has killed 280 children under 18 from January through September 2021, the time span in which the alpha and delta variants were active. Flu and pneumonia, heart disease, drowning, guns, and motor vehicles were all deadlier to children during the same time periods annually from 2015 to 2019 (the latest years with available data).
As one example: The number of children under 18 who died in vehicle crashes from January through September in recent years was nearly six times higher than the number of children who died of Covid-19 from January through September of this year.
These numbers can help contextualize risk. "One of the best ways to communicate risk — and for me, personally, to even think about risk — is to compare the risk of something I don't understand to the risk of something I do," Stephen Kissler, an infectious disease researcher at Harvard, told me.
Covid-19 deaths are likely lower than they would be if people had not engaged in social distancing and other precautions, meaning they could increase as the country shifts back to a pre-pandemic normal. But many parts of the country already have undergone that shift with only a relatively small increase in Covid-19 deaths among children, with surges concentrated among older adults, even as the delta variant spread.
What about other risks of Covid-19 among children?
One concern is multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, or MIS-C, which appears in some children after a Covid-19 infection. But the risk of MIS-C is also very low: Around 4,700 MIS-C cases and 41 deaths were confirmed in the US as of August 27, 2021, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. At that point, there were 3.7 million total Covid-19 cases among children 17 and under in the US.
Long Covid is also a concern. A huge problem is that the research on long Covid in kids is very thin — so thin that some experts didn't feel comfortable talking about the issue much, if at all.
Still, the research we do have, experts said, suggests long Covid is not a big threat to kids. Looking at a sample of 1,700 children ages 5 to 17 in the UK, a study in The Lancet Child & Adolescent Health found that less than 2 percent experienced symptoms for at least eight weeks, and symptom severity appeared to decrease over time.
One possible explanation: Long Covid seems to happen more often after severe illness, which is less common for children. A study analyzing private health care claims, by the nonprofit FAIR Health, found hospitalized Covid-19 patients were almost twice as likely to develop "post-Covid conditions" as patients who were symptomatic but not hospitalized.
Finally, there's the risk children's transmission may pose to others. "If kids continue to get infected, others will continue to get infected who are unvaccinated — and the virus will continue to mutate," Jen Kates, director of global health and HIV policy at the Kaiser Family Foundation, told me. "It's not just that we need to protect the kids. It's this larger question."
Children do appear to transmit the coronavirus less than adults do, Ladhani said. One possible explanation: Kids are less likely to develop symptoms than older groups, and have those symptoms for shorter periods. And the coronavirus is less likely to spread if it's not being coughed or sneezed out into the world.
Children's defenses against Covid-19 have held up, even against delta
The coronavirus, thankfully, remains a small threat to children overall. What's less clear is why kids haven't been hit harder by Covid-19.
The explanations so far are largely speculative.
One possibility is children's immune systems are better built to deal with novel viruses. After all, to young immune systems, most viruses are novel. Outside of some defenses passed down by parents and the protection from childhood vaccines, kids adapt to the pathogens around them through repeated exposure. So when a new coronavirus began to spread, the theory goes, children were better able to deal with the threat. But for adults, especially older ones, encountering a new pathogen is rarer, and so their immune systems perhaps haven't been able to deal with a novel threat to the same degree as their younger counterparts.
Two studies, by Herold, point in that direction, finding that the adaptive part of the immune system appears to be more active in adults than children. Herold suggested that's because kids' "innate response is better at dealing with Covid and perhaps other novel pathogens in general." (For more on this research, I recommend Smriti Mallapaty's recent article in Nature.)
Another possibility is that children, generally, have fewer health problems that put them at risk of severe illness from Covid-19. A range of comorbidities are known to make the virus a much bigger threat, including asthma, obesity, cancer, and heart disease. Some of these are more or as likely during childhood, but many, like cancer and heart disease, are more likely to happen with older age. As a result, kids "will cope better when they are infected," Ladhani said.
There are other theories, from social and biological differences in coronavirus exposure to potential side effects of non-Covid vaccines. But, again, this field of research is just starting, and no one has a sure explanation — the ultimate contributor could be something we don't even know about yet.
Given the uncertainty, experts also can't say that kids' protection against Covid-19 will hold true forever. It's possible a future variant will end up more dangerous for children, even if that hasn't been the case with delta. It's yet another reason to mitigate the spread of the virus as much as possible: to deny it more chances to replicate and mutate into something that children's defenses might not so easily conquer.
Different people will have different risk tolerances
The data isn't going to lead every parent to the same conclusions. Some people want to wait to return to normal until Covid-19 cases decline, after the current wave of delta fully eases (as is already starting to happen), or until everyone can get vaccinated, including kids. Others see higher vaccination rates in their community or nationwide as a prerequisite to easing up on precautions. Many are already moving on, at least to some degree, ready to put the virus and its impacts on day-to-day life behind.
Among the experts I've spoken to over the past several months, there are still divisions on when the time is right to ease up. "These are really hard, personal decisions," Crystal Watson, a senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, told me. "There's not a one-size-fits-all."
"We've known from the beginning that Covid is relatively mild in children compared to adults — and especially older adults" —Shamez Ladhani, pediatric specialist
There have been some points of agreement. For one, some places with lots of children, particularly schools, should do what they can to stop transmission, such as widespread testing, masking, and better ventilation. As soon as a vaccine is available, children should get the shots for an extra layer of protection, not just for themselves but also to prevent wider coronavirus spread and to block new variants.
At the same time, experts also widely agree the general risk of Covid-19 illness will likely never be zero again. The virus will be weakened over time through natural immunity and vaccination, but it will become endemic — continuing to spread in some form, perhaps in new variants, and potentially causing waves of severe illness and death on occasion. That suggests people will have to tolerate some level of risk going forward. And at least for kids, Covid-19 already isn't too far from the risks people widely accepted before the pandemic.
Kids' resilience against Covid-19 offers a way out of the pandemic
As the world transitions from the pandemic to endemic stage of this coronavirus, children's natural defenses against Covid-19 could prove crucial — providing a relatively safe route to much higher levels of natural immunity across the population.
"Over time, as SARS-CoV-2 becomes an endemic virus, basically everybody is going to get exposed to it multiple times by the time they turn 5 or 10," Kissler, the infectious disease researcher, said. The repeated exposure — and build-up of immunity it produces — could turn the virus into something more like the common cold or seasonal flu than the pathogen that's warped our lives since the spring of 2020.
Obviously, the continued spread among children would be a big problem if kids generally got very sick with Covid-19. Since that's not the case, the process can play out with few risks to kids themselves — especially if it's bolstered by childhood vaccines.

There are some lingering questions: How durable is natural and vaccine-induced immunity to Covid-19? What will be the earliest age at which someone can get vaccinated? Will a new variant overcome the effectiveness of the population's immunity that's been built up? The answers could shape, or completely alter, how the transition to endemic Covid-19 plays out.
But other viruses have followed this path. Earlier strains of the flu that killed up to millions of people worldwide are still present in some form today. But as humans have over time been repeatedly exposed to these viruses, they've built population-level immunity to what once was a more vicious threat. And a deadly pandemic in 1889, originally believed to be caused by the flu, may have actually been caused by a coronavirus that is still with us as one of the many pathogens causing a common cold.
Coupled with vaccines and potential medical breakthroughs in treatment, Covid-19 could follow a similar trajectory. The wonder of vaccines is they can speed up this process, giving people the immunity that they once had to earn through a serious — and at times deadly — bout of sickness.
In short: The world has been fortunate, throughout the pandemic, that kids aren't hit hard by Covid-19. But that luck also may extend to the pandemic's aftermath — to ensure we can move past the coronavirus once and for all.

The results suggest that Islamic banks intermediate more of their deposits than their conventional counterparts do. … The general conclusion is that Islamic banks are less efficient, have higher intermediation ratios and higher asset quality, and are better capitalized.
The main difference between Islamic and conventional finance is the treatment of risk, and how risk is shared. … Instead, Islamic finance requires that finance is provided on the principle of profit and loss sharing. Under shariah law finance can be provided through several types of contract.
In Islamic banking leasing, ownership remains with bank and risk and reward bear by the bank as owner of asset. In conventional banking, fixed rate of interest being given to depositors. In Islamic banking, profit are distributed out of profit earning by bank for the month as per decided weightages.

Results show that conventional banks are more efficient in managing cost than their Islamic counterparts. However, Islamic banks are more solid in terms of short-term solvency but no such difference exists as far as the long-term stability is concerned.
A conventional bank advances cash on the basis of a loan against which it earns an interest. As these funds are advanced on the basis of a loan the bank does not hear any risk of loss on these funds. On the other hand, an Islamic bank first purchases an item and by taking its possession, assumes the risk of that item.
An Islamic financial system can play a vital role in the economic development of Islamic countries by mobilizing dormant savings that are being intentionally kept out of interest-based financial channels and by facilitating the development of capital markets.
A key purpose for imposing these laws and ethics is to promote social justice; Islam and social justice are inseparable. Therefore, social justice is a key concept of the Islamic finance industry. Islam tries to achieve social justice in the economy in many ways: Promoting adherence to Islam.

In particular, Islam prohibits transactions based on Gharar (uncertainty in transactions), Maysir (gambling or the acquisition of wealth by chance instead of effort) and Riba (interest rate). These principles are beneficial for financial stability and consumer protection.
A financial intermediary is an entity that facilitates a financial transaction between two parties. … Some examples of financial intermediaries are banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment banks and more.
The financial intermediation process channels funds between third parties with a surplus and those with a lack of funds.
In this study, financial ratios are used to compare the performance of Islamic and Conventional banks. This study finds that Pakistani Islamic banks are significantly less profitable and less efficient while Islamic bank are more solvent (less risky) as compared to the Conventional banks.
The distinct characteristics which provide Islamic banking with its main points of departure from the traditional interest-based commercial banking system are: (a) the Islamic banking system is essentially a profit and loss sharing system and not merely an interest (Riba) banking system; and (b) investment (loans and …

Meet Rebecca Egelston Caso
As a teen volunteer at Children's Medical Center Dallas, Rebecca Egelston Caso didn't imagine that one day there would be a second hospital in Plano – or that she would be instrumental to its opening and operation. A lifelong community leader and attorney, Rebecca has maintained strong ties to Children's Health through leadership on its Board of Directors and as Past President of the Women's Auxiliary in Plano. In May, she took the helm as Chair of the Foundation Board to raise awareness, advocacy and philanthropy for Children's Health.
Why did you first choose Children's Health to volunteer?
I grew up in a family where volunteerism was a responsibility, not an option. My mother was involved with the Dallas County Medical Society and my father was a surgeon. They were impressed with Children's Health and encouraged me to join its established volunteer program. I loved doing whatever was necessary to help our patients, and I organized bake sales and holiday toy drives in my high school. Serving Children's Health has always been a part of my life.
What was it like when Children's Health expanded to Plano?
I was President of the Junior League of Collin County when Children's Health decided to expand into Collin County. It gathered community leaders, service providers, local government and law enforcement to talk about the issues facing kids in Collin County and conduct the first comprehensive needs assessment for children in the area. Children's Health went beyond just opening a local hospital; it was a catalyst that helped add programs and resources for kids in Collin County.
How has Children's Health transformed over the years?
I am impressed with its continued innovation and deep commitment to helping the community. It is always looking to be on the cutting edge to improve pediatric medicine and community health. As a nonprofit health system, Children's Health has grown in the last century with the support of generous donors and volunteers. We can help Children's Health reach more families where they live and make life better for our growing youth population.
Rebecca and her husband, Christopher, live in Plano and have two grown children. She is proud to help make life better for children. To connect with Rebecca, email giving@childrens.com.

Is anyone else into Disney Pin Trading? I got into it about 3 weeks ago. My friends and I were at Disneyland and every ride had lines that went on for miles! Luckily, I brought the pin trading starter set that Lena gave me a year ago. We only went on two rides, but pin trading kept me occupied for the rest of the day!
How does it work? Basically, you check out the Disney cast member's pins (the Disney workers) and see if there's anything you want to trade with them. If you see a pin you like, just trade one of yours for one of theirs. It's that simple! Other rules are.. you can't trade with them a pin they already have, and you can't trade more than two pin at a time with any cast member.
To the left are some pins I had on Saturday, and in the top photo are the pins I have now. Sometimes it's so hard to pick which ones to trade!

Александр Иосифович Парадович (1920—2001) — помощник командира взвода 41-й отдельной гвардейской разведывательной роты 39-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизии (8-я гвардейская армия, 1-й Белорусский фронт), гвардии старший сержант. Герой Советского Союза (1944).

Биография
Александр Иосифович Парадович родился 14 октября 1920 года на станции Бурятская (ныне Могойтуйский район Забайкальского края). Русский. Окончил 7 классов. После смерти отца в 1937 году переехал в город Нижнеудинск Иркутской области, где работал в конторе связи кассиром.

В РККА с 1941 года. После месячной подготовки попал на фронт под город Тихвин. Воевал в 59-м отдельном лыжном батальоне помощником командира лыжного взвода. Участвовал в освобождении города Тихвина в декабре 1941 года. Весной 1942 года ранение вывело его на несколько месяцев из строя. После госпиталя был направлен в Ленинградское пехотное училище, которое тогда находилось в городе Глазове Удмуртской АССР. Но окончить его не пришлось, был послан под Сталинград. Попал в легендарную 39-ю гвардейскую стрелковую дивизию. Участвовал в Сталинградской битве, где был ранен. Член КПСС с 1943 года.

Помощник командира взвода 41-й отдельной гвардейской разведывательной роты 39-й гвардейской стрелковой дивизий (8-я гвардейская армия, 3-й Украинский фронт). Гвардии сержант Парадович А. И., вместе с десантной группой, 24 октября 1943 года, под огнём противника, переправился через Днепр, южнее Днепропетровска, первым бросился к проволочному заграждению, проделал проход, через который прошла вся группа. Первым ворвался во вражеские окопы. Участвовал в отражении несколько контратак противника.

«14 октября наша 39-я гвардейская Барвенковская дивизия заняла Запорожье, а через пять дней нашу разведку, насчитывавшую всего двадцать одного бойца, перебросили под Днепропетровск. Мы располагались в шести километрах южнее города, напротив посёлка Жукова. Ширина Днепра в этом месте была 900—950 метров. Ниже находились пороги, где переплыть или пройти было совершенно невозможно. На правом берегу проходило проволочное заграждение в три линии, а высота берега была 18—20 метров. Проволочное заграждение было заминировано. Кроме того, имелось три ряда траншей, дзотов, дотов и блиндажей. Чтобы вся эта система огня не пришла в движение, форсировать Днепр нужно было скрытно, без поддержки артиллерии, на одной понтонной лодке. Перед нашей группой стояла задача форсировать Днепр, выбить противника с занятых рубежей, закрепиться и дать возможность нашим частям вести переправу. 24 октября 1943 года в 12 часов ночи поступил приказ: через час приступить к форсированию.

Стояла тишина, только изредка были слышны разрывы снарядов и пулемётные очереди трассирующих пуль, летящие в нашу сторону на широком пространстве. Погрузившись в понтонную лодку, двинулись к противоположному берегу. Когда миновали середину реки, в небо взвилась немецкая ракета. Гитлеровцы обнаружили лодку и начали обстрел. Из всех сил, гребли мы, чтобы скорее пристать к берегу, здоровые заменяли раненых и убитых и быстро-быстро работали вёслами. Метрах в ста от берега лодку от разрыва снаряда перевернуло. Погиб командир нашей роты и восемь бойцов, а остальные оказались в воде. Сквозь разрывы снарядов, град пуль поплыли к берегу. Днепр в этом месте оказался неглубок, и скоро мы выбрались на берег и с ходу с криками "ура!" бросились вперёд. Но нас остановили проволочные заграждения. Командование ротой я принял на себя. Оставив на месте переправы двух раненых с целью отвлечь внимание врага, с остальной группой я перешёл ниже по течению. Здесь были близки пороги и по моим расчётам оборона должна быть слабее. Это оказалось действительно так. Правда, и здесь были доты и дзоты, но значительно меньше. Было здесь и проволочное заграждение. Набросив на него шинели; я с тремя бойцами незамеченными перебрались через проволоку. Но тут нас обнаружили и открыли ураганный огонь. Наше счастье, что мы находились в мёртвом пространстве, пули не задевали нас. Воспользовавшись этим, стали искать проход вверх, на крутой берег, и вскоре нашли. Пройдя несколько метров, оказались рядом с дзотом, возле находились ящики с гранатами. Вооружившись, мы забросали дзот гранатами. Уничтожили 7 фашистов и захватили три пулемёта. Видя успех, к нам пробрались по тем же шинелям через проволоку остальные наши разведчики. Вооружившись тремя пулемётами, имея большое количество патронов к ним и семь ящиков гранат, мы стали расширять захваченный участок.

Вот ещё захвачено два дзота и четыре пулемёта в них, занято около двухсот метров вдоль реки.
На рассвете на нас обрушился удар гитлеровцев. Но к нему мы уже подготовились. Правда, силы наши были невелики: всего 5 человек и из них два раненых. Но бились мы каждый за десятерых. Всего отразили девять атак, а гитлеровцы всё идут и идут… Неизвестно, чем бы это кончилось, если бы к нам на плацдарм не переплыли три связиста и не вызвали огонь нашей артиллерии. Метко били пушки, ведь враг находился всего в 20—30 метрах. С помощью артиллерии все атаки были отражены, вечером на наш плацдарм переправились войска».

Звание Героя Советского Союза присвоено 22 февраля 1944 года (медаль № 2667).

Участвовал в освобождении Днепропетровска, Апостолово, Одессы, Люблина, в боях за Магнушевский плацдарм. Осенью 1944 года был направлен в Сталинградское авиационное училище, находившееся в Кустанае, где его застал День Победы.

В 1946 году демобилизован. В 1949 году окончил Алма-Атинскую партшколу, в 1968 году — Кустанайский дорожный техникум. Работал заместителем управляющего автотрестом, в геологоразведывательной партии. Жил в городе Кустанай (ныне Костанай). Удостоен звания Почётный гражданин города Костаная (присвоено 23.04.1975 года).

Умер 13 декабря 2001 года.

Flicks, Aaron Yap
It does make for a lengthy sit, and understandably some will balk at its excessive exposition. But it's also genuinely mesmerising, sustaining a two-and-a-half-hour duration with lashings of camp, rhapsodic dance choreography and wildly unpleasant body-horror that somehow doesn't even begin to prime us for the orgiastic freefall of a climax.
Luca Guadagnino's Suspiria isn't the Suspiria you know—and all the better for it. Seemingly unencumbered by any obligation to pander to purists of Dario Argento's 1977 original, Guadagnino allows his freak flag to fly high with this categorically bananas reworking.
Flicks, Luke Buckmaster
I assume anybody unfortunate enough to watch me dance experiences the same feelings as audiences sitting through the new or old Suspiria: abject horror, and an instant dismissal of the very possibility of a higher power or grander purpose. For a long time I considered myself somebody who puts the oogie in the boogie, but director Luca Guadagnino's remake of Dario Argento's classic 1977 giallo pic has comforted me with the idea that I might instead be demonically possessed.

A Bleak Beautiful Masterpiece
As an enormous fan of the original and its director Dario Argento I would usually be opposed to a remake. But with Luca Guadagnino, director of such masterpieces as 'Call Me By Your Name', 'A Bigger Splash' and 'I Am Love'at the helm I was most certainly excited. Suspiria blows every expectation I had out the water and delivers a deeply disturbing nightmare...

Film of the year so far
I loved this but I can totally understand why someone wouldn't. My kind of messed up. Loved the historical (or is it?;))context to the film as well, always enjoy films set in Germany during the time of the Berlin Wall. And Thom Yorke's music...beautiful. Looking forward to some rewatches. Hopefully this at least gets nominated for sound design.

Slow and deliberate arthouse chiller
Dario Argento's 1977 SUSPIRIA is a cult classic, a psychedelic, colour-splashed, giallo slasher, inspired by Thomas De Quincey's 1845 essay 'Suspiria de Profundis'. Now re-imagined by CALL ME BY YOUR NAME director Luca Gaudagnino, the story remains intact, with a young dancer attending the prestigious Markos Dance Academy in Germany, only to discover it is...
Suspiria is a gorgeous, hideous, uncompromising film, and while it seeks to do many things, settling our minds about the brutality of the past and human nature is not one of them.
By the time it drags itself to the finish line, you may think, "Okay, now we know what 'Suspiria' looks like as an art film. Can we please go back to when it was just a garishly flamboyant piece of bat-house trash?"
Traditional horror fans won't be pleased: Almost transgressively, Guadagnino has deprioritised the shocks, even the fear. But in their place, he's pumped up the exotic strangeness and crafted a movie you can get lost in, which is the ultimate tribute.
There are smart moments of fear and subliminal shivers of disquiet, the dance sequences are good and of course Guadagnino could never be anything other than an intelligent film-maker. But this is a weirdly passionless film.
Any film from Guadagnino demands to be seen, and Suspiria is no exception. But I kinda wish all this effort and skill had been expended in the service of a truly new story, not a project that invites comparison to an of-its-time unimprovable original.
The passion of Guadagnino's messy vision - the swirl of emotions he conjures on this grand canvas - has a forcefulness that mostly transcends its sizable flaws.
Guadagnino has made an ambitious homage, but it doesn't really benefit from its more intellectualised gaze, instead draining the stomach-churning thrills of great horror.
I expected to be peering at the screen between splayed fingers, but instead I was peering at my watch.

Freight Transport Group Calls For Communication Of No-Deal Plans
Published on Mar 5 2019 12:50 PM in Supply Chain tagged: Trending Posts / Brexit / No-Deal / Freight Transport Association Ireland
Freight Transport Association Ireland (FTAI) has called on the government to advance and clearly communicate contingency plans for a no-deal Brexit.
Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland, FTAI General Manager Aidan Flynn said that he felt the government was unprepared for a no-deal scenario, warning that the country's supply chain will face significant threats.
"A no-deal Brexit would have a seismic impact on the UK's trading environment and in turn, the freight distribution and logistics sector on both sides of the Irish Sea.
"If the UK leaves the EU without an agreement in place it could cause major disruption to our integrated, interdependent supply chains."
It has called on the government not only to provide contingency plan details, but also for it to confirm, clarify and publish the number of trained veterinary inspectors available to commence work in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
It also called to see its traffic management plans to deal with increased traffic volumes in Irish ports.
"It is vital that enforcement authorities take a pragmatic approach to regulatory requirements for trade for a third country if no deal is reached between the UK and the EU," Flynn added.

ondragstart="return false" onmousedown="return false"

but it also disables the selection like in future to do a copy/paste. I want to disable drag and drop of text and enable the selection of text.

A: Use only ondragstart="return false". See this jsFiddle.

Remains unearthed in field ID'd as girl who went missing 25 years ago
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The Wharton County Sheriff's Office has revealed that the remains found in a field last November are indeed those of Rosemary Diaz, a girl who went missing 25 years ago.
The body was identified via DNA analysis.
VIDEO: Original story. Aired 12/18/1990
Story on Diaz missing, from Dec, 18, 1990
Wharton County investigators say there is a deceased suspect that they are not naming, as the investigation into the murder continues in Matagorda County.
VIDEO: Family's heartbreaking response
The sisters of Rosemary Diaz reveal why they haven't changed their maiden name
Diaz disappeared from the Dane's Country Store where she worked in the small community of Danevang. It was November 24, 1990. Her family said they'd always hoped one day they might find her alive.
VIDEO: Former Sheriff who worked on case speaks out
However, her sister said today that they can now grieve. She added they are looking for justice in the case.
At the time of the body's discovery, investigators said information was brought to them by family of a man who died of cancer this summer, which led them to a remote location near the Wharton-Matagorda county line, just a few miles from the store.

Is That A Beam in Egnor's Eye? Or Two?
By Timothy Sandefur
March 5, 2009 19:38 MST
With the possible exception of Casey Luskin, no Discovery Institute fellow seems more eager to embarrass himself in public than Michael Egnor. Dr. Egnor's recent "open letter" to the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology attacked the Society for deciding not to hold its 2011 conference in New Orleans to protest that state's enactment of legislation designed to promote the teaching of creationism in government-sponsored schools. Egnor objected that the Society is acting unethically because "most Americans are creationists," and for the Society to take a stand against creationism is a "demand for censorship." Worse yet, their decision is a slap in the face of American taxpayers whose tax money funds so much scientific research. It's hypocritical, he says, for scientists to take government funding while opposing the teaching of "creationism" (his word) in government schools. PZ Myers responded to this at his blog, and now Egnor has posted a reaction at the DI's blog.
There are two points here that really must be made.

With all the religion being built around commanding. Does it seem overly complex to anybody else out there? I have an approach that I came up with to use a custom behavior to simply enable binding of various physical events to specific View Model operations that need to be invoked.
I posted some code and sample project on how to get a Silverlight 3 Navigation Project up and running using MVVM and using absolutely no Commanding to get anything done.
Commands are cool and technically the "right way" to do things. But imagine if you had to create a DependencyProperty for every property on your View Model. This is kind of being asked of us to implement Commands. You mean every publically exposed operation now has to have an ICommandProperty that implements some routed command. I have to do what kind of work to just invoke an operation from a random event on a control in my app?! And after all this it isn't even blend friendly?!
Well here is another option. I created a custom behavior that simply uses Silverlight's own data binding technique of using reflection to access members of the Data Context. BUT instead of invoking public properties, I am invoking public operations. Some might cringe but if you have a problem with this then you have a problem with regular old Property Binding too. This approach is no more tightly coupled than Property Binding and better yet, it is dead simple to use.
1. Write a parameter-less POPO (Plain Old Public Operation…now its getting ridiculous :-)) on your View Model, let's call it Save.
2. Whip open Blend, grab your button.
3. Select InvokeViewModelMethod behavior from the behaviors list and drag it onto your button.
4. Now Select Click as the event trigger and "Save" as the method name.
5. That's it. Now you are loosely coupled to your View Model with NO code-behind and your designers are happy because now they don't have to dance around blend unfriendly things.
What's great about Silverlight 3 Navigation is that you can use familiar URI based navigation and even pass query strings between pages. Thus shielding each page from the exact implementation of the other. One detractor to this approach is that, for all practical purposes, you can only pass primitive types safely. Technically there is nothing stopping you from using binary serialization and stuffing a full POCO up there but its not advisable.
The problem that you immediately run into when trying to build a MVVM Navigatable application is that you constantly have to write code behind to add query string parameters and as a result, you have to cast your View Model in order to grab properties on it. I created this HyperlinkWithParameterAction based on the HyperlinkAction TriggerAction inside Microsoft.Expression.Interactivity.Core. This little guy will take a single parameter and automatically wire up the query string for you by using reflection to grab properties off the View Model. In a future post I will enhance the code to take a collection of parameters.
Finally…we need to do some house keeping to make sure everything is playing nicely together.
Inside the base view model class' implementation of RaisePropertyChanged you can see that before performing invoking the PropertyChanged event it checks to see whether or not the calling thread is on the UI Thread or not. If its not on the UI thread then it uses Dispatcher.BeginInvoke in order to add the property change notification to the UI thread. This is really important because when our customer behavior is invoked it is no longer on the UI thread. Therefore, if we don't do this, while the operation on the View Model may get called it will fall on deaf ears—in that, the View will not be notified that properties on the View Model have changed. Special Thanks to Jason Kerns for the nice bit of dispatcher work in the View Model Base.
Part of my base View Model implementation and interface that the actual views interact with is all about getting a NavigationService object into the ViewModel so we can use it to navigate between pages. This could be further abstracted and I will look into this further because I'm just not happy with the ViewModel knowing about something so View related. Right now I am thinking some sort of static proxy that could house a reference to the NavigationService as we only need to grab it once.
Here's a sample project with all the code. Go check it out!

Systémová enzymoterapie je druh léčby, který využívá systémové aplikace enzymů jakožto léčivých látek. Dnes se enzymů využívá u celé řady chorob, jako je např. glomerulonefritida, pankreatitida, plicní fibróza, bronchitida, prostatitida, cystitida, ale také u některých nádorových onemocnění či trombóz.

Historie
V historii se např. vředy se potíraly šťávou s ovoce bohatých na enzymy (papája, ananas). Dnešní moderní medicína se snaží tyto enzymy dále zkoumat a zjišťovat jejich využití.

Enzymy

Enzymy jsou látky bílkovinné povahy, které fungují jako biokatalyzátory, tedy látky které snižují aktivační energii biochemických reakcí, čímž umožní, aby dané biochemické reakce v těle nejen proběhly, ale proběhly dostatečně rychle. Enzymy mají tuto schopnost díky svému aktivačnímu místu, na nějž se naváže substrát dané reakce. Toto aktivní místo (hluboká štěrbina, povrchová prohlubeň či jinak konformačně uzpůsobený povrch) je vlastně 3D struktura, která je pro daný substrát specifická a zároveň substrát chrání před působením okolní vody. Tento navázaný substrát je poté díky enzymu dále zpracováván různými způsoby a různými mechanismy, která se odvíjí od druhu enzymu. Výsledkem této enzymové reakce je pak žádaný produkt.

Nevýhody enzymoterapie
Jednou z hlavních nevýhod je cena této metody (důsledek náročné technologie). U některých lidí mohou také větší dávky enzymů dočasně způsobovat zažívací obtíže jako je průjem a nadýmání, případně může dojít ke zhoršení alergie.
