Jon Huntsman was tapped by President Barack Obama to serve as United States Ambassador to China in May 2009 and his nomination was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate. Huntsman was sworn in as Ambassador immediately following his resignation as the Governor of Utah on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 at 11:30 a.m.
Huntsman was elected twice as Governor of Utah, including in 2008 with a record percent of the vote, including the majority in all 29 counties. As Governor, Huntsman governed with his eye toward maintaining Utahs unparalleled quality of life, continually increasing the states economic competitiveness and maximizing funding to Utahs public education system.
Huntsmans breadth of experience in Asia has been developed over a lifetime of interest and involvement. He has previously lived in Asia three times and speaks fluent Mandarin Chinese.
Huntsmans public service career began as a White House staff assistant to President Ronald Reagan and has since included appointments as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Asia, U.S. Ambassador to Singapore and Deputy U.S. Trade Representative. As a U.S. Trade Ambassador, Huntsman negotiated dozens of free trade agreements, trade and investment framework agreements and brokered other bi-lateral and multi-lateral trade agreements for the United States with China, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, India, Vietnam, West Africa, South Africa and other Asian and African nations. He played a critical role in launching global trade negotiations in Doha, Qatar in November of 2001, guiding the simultaneous accession of China and Taiwan into the World Trade Organization.
He is a founding director of the Pacific Council on International Policy and has served on various boards such as the Brookings Institute Asia Policy Board, the Center for Strategic and International Studies Pacific Forum, the Asia Society in New York and the National Bureau of Asian Research.
During his tenure as Governor, Utah was repeatedly recognized by many prestigious organizations for its dynamism, business climate and quality of life. Perhaps most importantly, Utah was named by the Pew Center as the Best Managed State in America. Even in times of economic hardship, Huntsman worked collaboratively with stakeholders to minimize impacts to critical human services while maintaining job-stimulating construction projects and keeping the States Rainy Day Fund intact as a tool for any future fiscal distress.
Recognized nationally for his leadership, Huntsman served as chairman of the Western Governors Association and on the Executive Committee of the National Governors Association.
As a dedicated public servant, Huntsman is committed to serving in this critical post as Ambassador to one of the most important international relationships for the United States of America. He is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and has four honorary doctorate degrees.
Bio by State.Gov
Jon Huntsman has a deep breadth of experience in an area of the world that is becoming increasinly important.Asia. The burgeoning markets of Asia, especially China, warrant that the United States be competetive and open trade opportunities for the U.S. markey to take advantage of for the betterment of our industries, jobs and economy. Huntsman experience as a trade representaive in that area and as an expert in Sino-American relations in policy should have a significant on any attempt to run for Presidednt that Huntsman may persue.
As a former Governor, Huntsman manged Utah with great success. He boosted the states economy, and enhanced its business environment. he maintained the line on taxes and spending and in all areas of importance, he racked up a solid record to run on, vene within the G.O.P..
But all of this may not be enough to win Huntsman the republican presidential nomination. Before he left the Governors office to become Ambassador to China, he made remarks supporting same-sex marriage and other gay rights issues. To a degree, Huntsmans positions on such issues, could position himself well among Libertarian conservatives. The problem is, conservatives Republicans will hold this against him, not credit him for it. Then there were remarks Huntsman made concerning spending. He once argued that that the Obama spending package was not big enough.
All of these things will be hurdles that Huntsman must overcome and although they will not be impossible, they will hamper his ability to jump out in the front of what may be a crowded field of conservative and TEA Party movement Republicans. Jon Huntsman has the ability to shape a well financed, well run campaign and if he does run, he will be an attractive candidate foir many reasons. But exactly how far he can go is in great doubt at this time.

Who do you think you are 'serving' and 'supporting' when you arrogantly demean Romney? Do you, naively, believe YOU could win the GOP nomination? NEVER, is the most obvious answer. Your not-so-subtle vile is causing Romney to lose votes! You are helping Obama defeat all GOP candidates. WAKE-UP!

I think that socially conservative republicans are the minority of republicans. They are the loudest, but true republicans are fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Republicans have always championed restrictions on government intruding on individual liberties and choices. The wave of religious fundamentalists republicans is the vocal minority, the social liberal fiscal conservative republicans are the new silent majority.

Fike: The Moment We've Been Waiting For Review
Dana and Richie Fike have been an Indie worship band for a few years now. Their songs have been recorded by many worship artists, and their song "Ascend to Heaven" was GMA Dove Award nominated. In addition, their independent album Make a Sound landed the husband and wife duo in the Worship Leader magazine with a cover on several of their songs. Now, the acclaimed duo returns with their debut Integrity Records project The Moment We've Been Waiting For. Throughout this wonderful worship project with wonderful harmonies and powerful vocals, the Fikes explore that wonderful day when we will see Jesus face to face, particularly through the wonderful opening title track.
The five-minute opening title track is appropriately very heavenly. Dana's vocals build with the melody which strengths throughout. Choirs appear throughout the album, but are particularly enjoyable in this track, that looks forward with anticipation to the wedding day of the Lamb, when God wipes every tear from our eyes. Richie leads "Grace," which follows as a mostly acoustic guitar track. Here and there, his vocals sound a bit strained, but his mid-tone vocals are nice nevertheless. A simple song of thanksgiving for God's grace, the listener is powerfully reminded that God's grace is all we need.
I first heard "Jehovah" on the Katina's Collage album, released last summer, but it was actually written by Richie Fike! The Fikes did a wonderful job with this track, especially Dana, who did the part that CeCe Winans performed in the Katina's version. The harmonies are breathtaking, being done only the way a husband and wife duo can. "Wait" is a fun and catchy acoustic pop track, with exceptional lyrics. Especially a highlight is the first verse: "It never goes like I thought it should/ and that's a real nice thing 'cause the Lord is good/ so I believe that the lesson of grace is wait…" After a bit, Dana interjects her supportive harmonies, making for one of the definite highlights off Fike's The Moment We've Been Waiting For CD.
The acoustic "Song of Sacrifice" speaks of the sacrifice of praise, again with magnificent harmonies. The deeply worshipful "Glorious You Are" speaks of how there is no end to the praises we could sing to our Lord and King. This track features soothing cello, but is followed by the upbeat and rocky "Behold Our God." The fun guitar makes a track like this all the more freeing and worshipful.
"My Savior Lord" with an irregular drumbeat, is excellent lyrically, addressing those times when we want to give God something new and original. But what can we give Him that hasn't already been given? The song asks: "What if I yield to You all of my heavy heart? Would that make You mine, would that make me Yours?" The fact that God simply wants our life is something that God has revealed to me recently, so I especially enjoyed this track.
The way that Dana and Richie both share the melody and support each other makes "In This House" very peaceful, while "Still" speaks of simply being still and knowing that He is our God. Richie sings the first half, and Dana takes over just as the song builds. They, of course, then combine their vocals. Because of this, "Still" is another deep thought track, crammed with Scripture.
As you would think, "Outshout the Lies" is more upbeat with strong guitars, reminding the listener that Jesus has overcome the world, while "Chosen" is another acoustic guitar track. The guitar itself keeps the beat throughout most of this serene track, which is followed by "That's Why I Praise," the end of the album. It has a soft gospel twist to it, a simple song of thanksgiving for how Jesus Christ has changed our lives, and that's why we continue to praise Him.
With one listen through, it's not hard to see why Fike's songs have been used by other worship groups. The thirteen-track The Moment We've Been Waiting For is very eclectic and worshipful, whether the songs are upbeat and fun, or more heavenly and mellow. It's easy to sense the presence of the Lord when playing through this heartfelt album. This album will definitely be on repeat for me. There's something so special about this husband and wife duo that makes you immediately hooked!

What Entry types are there in openEHR?
Why not just have one Entry type?
In the openEHR Reference Model, as well as in models like CEN EN13606-1 and HL7 CDA, the 'Entry' type in the model corresponds to a 'clinical statement'. Entries hold the 'hard data' of the EHR Composition or document. Entries may contain only a single (often coded) datum, such as a diagnosis, or more usually, they contain a number of data points in a defined structure, e.g. Apgar result, Barthel index, ante-natal visit. In openEHR the Entry has been specialised into 5 types in the EHR and one generic entry for mapping in future to CEN 13606 structures should these become widely used.
The openEHR Reference Model defines 6 kinds of Entry. Five of these are found in the openEHR EHR Information Model, and are illustrated below.
ACTION - for recording actions, which may be due to Instructions, e.g. drug administrations, procedures etc.
The 6th type is called GENERIC_ENTRY, and is designed for mapping into and out of legacy and integration structures such as CEN EN13606, HL7 CDA, message and relational databases. The UML model of this type is here; it is documented in the openEHR Integration IM. All of these types are extremely generic and archetypes are used to define the specific business/domain content models under each of these types - see archetype mindmap for examples.
administrative event: a record of a business event occurring within the administrative context, such as admission, booking, referral, discharge etc.
When clinical modellers are building content models of common things they record, the various Entry types provide help. For example, the Observation type includes a 'History of Events' structure for its data, enabling the time of any observation to be recorded in a standard way. If there are no available Entry types, clinical content is likely to be built in an ad hoc, non-interoperable way, and it is also significantly more arduous. For example, if we try to create an archetype for the concept of 'apgar recording', it is quite easy using the openEHR Observation type because the History structure provides exactly what is needed to represent the samples in time. A further refinement is a clear separation of the data, state and protocol, i.e. the primary values being measured (BP for example), the patient state (exertion, position) and the method of measurement (instrument etc).
Two people independently modelling the same content, such as 'BP measurement' using archetype tools based on the above model of Observation are almost guaranteed to model the timing and separation of values, patient state and methd in the same way, since it is provided in the reference model. Similar considerations apply to recordings of typical things like orthostatic blood pressure (requiring 2 samples), time-based data coming from vital signs monitors and so on. An archetype model of glucose tolerance test is interesting - it needs both a time base (3 samples) and the 'state' attribute on Events to indicate the patient state at each point - after 8 hour fast, after 75mg glucose challenge etc. Without any of this basic support in the reference model, the archetype author, as well as software developers are forced to come up with solutions to the basic patterns of history-of-events and the data/state/protocol pattern. These patterns are so ubiquitous in medicine and science in general that they have been included in the openEHR reference model.
Other universal patterns occur in the Instruction and Action types, enabling the standardised recording of various dates, times, participations and changes of state of Instructions.
[top] The problem of 'status' Another issue well known in the recording of information in health systems is that of 'status' of information: is it the actual value X, a negation of X, a risk of X, no/low risk of X, family history of X, fear of X, recommendation to do P, past procedure P, scheduled to have P...? Undifferentiated statements recorded using index terms (often coded) e.g. 'cancer' etc risk confusing automatic processing, such as by query engines, decision support and NLP modules (commonly used on narrative data). We can go a long way toward solving the possible confusion by seeing that all of these statement have sensible mappings into the Entry types used in openEHR (and other similar models for that matter, e.g. the Danish G-EPJ).
P proposed Evaluation, subtype Proposal of P suggested/likely for patient P ordered Instruction of P for patient for some particular date in the future.
The use of the openEHR Entry types significantly reduces the risk that in querying 'family history of X' can be mistaken for X being observed in the patient, since the former is an Evaluation, while the latter is an Observation. Family history of X and diagnosis of X are both Evaluations, but distinguished by archetype (family history, diagnosis). Similarly, a past hip replacement cannot be confused with a proposed or booked one, since both the Entry types and archetypes will be different. Querying for clinical opinions is easy: it will be Evaluations only, or a subset, determined by archetype.
[top] A possible confusion: Observations and Evaluations In the openEHR Entry model, two types are used for 'observations' and 'evaluations'. As with any general terms, these terms are overloaded, causing confusion for some people. In the openEHR model, these two types have a clear purpose. The Observation type is used to record any information derived from the world outside the clinician's head (or any other clinical reasoning device) - i.e. any kind of phenomemon or state of interest to the clinical investigator in the care of the patient. Accordingly, the design of the Observation type defines its data as a History-of-events structure, since all phenomena observed in the external world are situated in time, and in many cases, there are multiple samples to be recorded. In theory, such information should be repeatably observable using the same protocol and assuming a sufficient level of skill or training on the part of the observer.
In contrast, the Evaluation type is used for recording clinical thinking rather than events from the outside world. Consequently, it does not oblige a historical timing structure. This is not to say that 'time' is irrelevant to clinical thinking. Indeed, many typical clinical assessments include all manner of times, as shown by this diagnosis archetype. However, the times in such evaluations are not the primary recording instance of phenomenon or event time of events that may be referred to in the Evaluation, but instead are summarised times, dependent on the kind of assessment being recorded. It may be that no event time is recorded in an Evaluation, such as for the goal archetype, where the only time indicated is future proposed date of achievement. Observation and Evaluation UML Thus the Observation type provides the structures for recording phenomena, including statements the patient may make, anything measured or sensed by the clinician, or via using a machine. The history structure provides a standardised way to include the event origin time, and offsets of each event in the series, if it is more than one. In addition, it provides 'state' and 'protocol' (the latter inherited from CARE_ENTRY) which allow the state of the patient (e.g. position, exertion level) and the method (e.g. pulse oximeter) to be recorded alongside the primary data (e.g. heartrate). The history structure of a typical observation is illustrated to the right.
There will be an observation since it is a real-world phenomenon that has been observed e.g. by listening. There seems to be an element of 'inference' about it; this is the clinician's assessment of the heart sounds heard to be leaking of blood through the mitral valve of the left side of the heart.
A diagnosis of mitral valve disease may be made; this will usually describe the severity, indicate what studies were done to establish the nature of the disease etc. This is not the same statement as any of the original observations, but would normally summarise them.
Facts about the patient's capabilities in living independently are recorded as Observation(s), and gathered according to a protocol, such as a questionnaire, functional test by occupational therapist etc. How good the information is may depend on the protocol, but in all cases, the result is an observation of various phenomenon in time.
Evaluation problem An assessment will be made about the subject based on all the information gathered; some of the evidence might lead to the establishment of a problem of incontinence. Summary The Observation type provides the timing structure that is universally applicable to all phenomona sensed from the real world; it also provides the data/state/protocol combination that characterises many measurement situations. These features mean that some basic aspects of software and data schemas can be standardised for such information. The Evaluation type provides a free-form structure which is completely structured by archetyping. The distinction in types helps ensure queries do not mix up different 'statuses'. The key criterion for distinguishing Observations from Evaluations is whether the recording is of information being captured from the outside world (in a repeatable way), or not.
Using only a single unstructured type would lose these advantages. It doesn't prevent such information being expressed, but it means that even the universal aspects such as time, events, math functions, interval widths etc, are likely to be expressed differently in each instance. This is not useful for a standardised EHR environment, although it can be useful for an integration environment, where data from various source systems is being federated into a standardised EHR, and each source's idea of e.g. observation time is different.

Q: Print exact macro definition Is it possible to print the exact definition of a macro?
For example, the code
\def\foo#1{\bar\baz}
\printdef\foo

should result with \bar\baz.
If we define (as suggested in a similar question)
\def\printdef#1{\texttt{\meaning#1}}

then the result is macro:->\bar \baz, which is slightly different.

Did you know that the Swiss have rules that restrict many activities that most of us would find totally normal? The Swiss apartment rules are particularly strict, so we've always been thankful that we live in the countryside with no direct neighbours.
Today my husband was preparing for the big 4th July Party that we are hosting on Monday. Part of this involved a bit of garden work – we have a large linden tree in the garden, it's yellow flowers are pretty for about 30 seconds before it sheds the flowers onto the grass. Raking the flowers and leaves takes a lot of time and effort so we bought an electric leaf blower/vacuum last year.
He was thankfully almost finished with the work when a neighbour came by to tell him that the use of a leaf blower is not allowed until November. Just what we should do with a leaf blower in November, when the leaves start falling in early summer, I don't know. Maybe we could use it to blow the first snow away.
We have never met this neighbour, in the two years we have been living in this house, so it was a surprise when she said, "I am asking you very gently to stop using this machine".
It was the first time that we have fallen foul of the Swiss obsession with rules and regulations – we have found that here in the French speaking area of Switzerland the Swiss seem to be less stuffy about their rules. We were warned about these rules before we moved to Geneva. Some of these rules are similar to those in Germany – such as not cutting the grass on Sundays – but other regulations were rather more restrictive. Such as the rule that prohibits showering after 10pm or even flushing the loo.
As many of these rules are limited to those who live in apartments – such as the bathroom ones – and as we live in a house, it has never affected us. Similarly, we can use the washing machine whenever we wish to. Many city apartments have a communal washing machine, the usage of which is strictly regulated. The tenants have a time slot in which they may use the laundry room. This would be a nightmare for me as I would find it hard to be so organised to wash on one or two set days of the week. What do you do if you have small children, or if a child is ill and you need to wash bedding?
One evening I was in town with friends and we were chatting as we arranged another meeting. A Swiss man stopped and told us that it was already after 10pm. We nodded and agreed that he was correct, it was indeed after 10pm, almost 10.30pm in fact, before realising that he was scolding us for talking too loud. We weren't THAT loud – honest. It does take some getting used to that someone would actually tell you that you are being too loud, or that you should not be using a leaf blower – although we can be thankful that they did as some Swiss citizens simply call the police.
The Swiss are fond of their rules, and when you live here you have to abide by them, even the rules that you think are ridiculous. So my husband put the leaf blower away and fetched his trusty rake to finish the rest of the garden work.


Qualify – You have to qualify your prospects. Do they meet the criteria of what you are trying to sell. Will they benefit from purchasing it? Establish a need – Demonstrate the improvement your product will make in the prospects quality of life. Speak with emotion and get the customer to understand WHY they can not go on without your product.. that is of course, if they "qualified".
Build credibility – Dedicate some time to building up not only your product's reputation but also your own. Why should we listen to you? What are your accomplishments with regards to this product? How have others benefited from it? (This is where you must be as genuine as possible) the old "Fake it To make it" philosophy is just a crock. Only speak the truth. Provide a solution – Present the specific ways that your products will solve a problem or otherwise benefit the customer. This is the part where you point out specific features that other similar products may lack CLOSE – Ask for the sale. This is where most sales are LOST. Don't be afraid to give your customer a price. Pitch them high with confidence and TELL them to go get their credit card. Be forthcoming. Hesitation at this point will only may the customer reluctant.

Q: Blazor refresh List of Child Component Consider the following Blazor ParentComponent that renders a list of ChildComponents:
<input type="date" @bind-Value="date" />
<button type="button" @onclick="ChangeDate"> Filter </button>

foreach(var i in list)
{
   <ChildComponent Id="i.Id" Date="date" />
}

@code{
   List<int> list; //a list of ids for this example
   DateTime date = DateTime.Today; //date ChildComponent should be filtered by

   async Task ChangeDate()
   {
      //What do I write here to call StateHasChanged() on ChildComponents?
   }
}

How would I call StateHasChanged() on all ChildComponent's from ParentComponent?

A: In general this is the job of a Service.  Your data lives in (lets call it) DateService.  DateService contains a list of items with IDs and Dates.  When you change the date (in any or all the list items) as you do here in the "Page" component, you trigger a ListHasChanged event/delegate that you have set up in the service. Each ChildComponent uses Dependency Injection to get the service and registers an internal event handler to the event in OnInitializedAsync.  The event handler re-renders if necessary. Note: Always call StateHasChanged with Invoke - you can never guarantee which thread is calling it with event handlers.  I've shown a generic event handler which re-renders a component.
protected async void RenderAsync(object sender, EventArgs e) => await this.InvokeAsync(StateHasChanged);

I'll post some more detailed code if requested.

Best of Houston® /// Arts & Entertainment /// 2002
The gimmick behind Alan Ayckbourn's House and Garden is irresistible. And no place in town was better suited to capitalize on this cleverness than the Alley Theatre. House and Garden is billed as two plays. Each focuses on a different set of characters, but all the characters from one show appear in the other. To complicate matters further, both plays run simultaneously. The actors must have gotten quite a workout running up and down the backstage stairs. On the Main Stage we got to see all the hullabaloo in Teddy Platt's drawing room. Meanwhile, downstairs in the Neuhaus Theatre, lots of lovemaking took place in Teddy's garden. Once you saw one story, you had to see the other. You just had to find out about the strange ménage à trois going on with the servants. And life wouldn't be complete if you couldn't find out why Teddy's beautiful wife wouldn't speak to him. The twin plays were like exquisitely written soap operas: The first one you saw hooked you into seeing the other.
The jewel in Pam Robinson's Washington Avenue crown -- and the nerve center in the three-club cluster she calls Pamland Central -- Walter's is less a nightclub than a neighborhood bar with a stage. On that stage, the music comes from both near and far, the musicians both semifamous and downright illustrious. Everyone from rookie bandleader Hilary Sloan to Grammy-winners Augie Meyers and Flaco Jimenez to living legends W.C. Clark and Tony Joe White have performed in the medium-sized room, which offers some of the most intimate surroundings in town. The bartenders -- one of whom is the cousin of Walter's regular guest Mike Barfield -- know just as much about music as they do about mixology. And thanks to the nearby railroad yard, you can listen to the lonesome whistle echoing back the blues, rockabilly and honky-tonk sounds billowing out of Walter's.

It's tough in Houston for new local acts to get gigs. It's a catch-22: While everyone wants to see the next big thing, local audiences can be blasé about going out and seeing new bands. A band has to get a rep before people start coming out to see them, but how can they earn their spurs if nobody will let them get up and play? Fitzgerald's will. Now in its 25th year, the rambling old Polish dance hall has survived conversion from a blues and roots bar into the proving ground for fresh rock and punk acts. It has outlasted and absorbed its main competitor, Emo's, and even gives the late Montrose landmark a weekly memorial with its Wednesday-night tributes. Want to get ahead of the curve and be able to turn your nose up and say, "Well, you should have seen them when..."? Then get thee to Fitzgerald's often and stay late.

Didn't know there's a lesbian Tejano bar in town? Tight niche. Mela's has been filling that niche free of competition since 1980, back when few folks were comfortable with the thought of lesbianism and fewer were familiar with the word Tejano. Owner Herlinda "Mela" Contreras, 55, was born and raised in Houston as one of 16 children. Contreras was honored as the female grand marshal for this year's pride parade. Her family always knew she was gay but never gave her anything less than full support. That support has been instrumental in her success at keeping her bar open more than 20 years. Mela's has changed with time, with its guests branching out to lesbian and straight couples alike, Latinos, bolillos (gringos) and every other race. Order up a michelada, a house favorite made with Mexican beer (usually Corona) mixed with lime and hot sauce. The spicy coolness strikes a tasty balance against Houston's heat.
Not many jukes can take the pressure of having their own theme night, but Tom McLendon's Big Easy box can. Every Monday, he turns off the coin slot and customers have free rein to play all the Lightnin' Hopkins, Ray Charles, Neville Brothers and George (both Porter and Jones) they want. There's free pool, too, so if you want to go in and bone up on your billiards and your Gulf Coast classics some Blue Monday, the Big Easy's your best bet.

Tack an extra digit onto your SAT scores. Valhalla is a grad student-run bar tucked into a corner of the old chemistry building on Rice's abundantly treed campus (look for the red arched door). Even without the verdant surroundings, Valhalla's ridiculously cheap 75-cent beer is a sufficient lure for anyone interested in the effects of ethanol on the human body. The bartenders are volunteer Rice staff, faculty, students and alumni. Out on the lawn, perpetual doctoral students and their families lounge on the grass while their four-year-olds debate the existence of the Higgs boson particle and deconstruct Finnegans Wake. As DEET-coated children play Frisbee to observe laminar flow, adults take turns making beer runs into the dim, quasi-subterranean bar.

JERUSALEM, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Bank Hapoalim, Israel's largest lender, said on Wednesday it raised 2.1 billion shekels ($565 million) in a bond offering to institutional investors and the public.
The bank said the 6-year bonds will be used for general liquidity purposes. It raised some 2 billion shekels from institutions and another 60 million shekels from the public, it said.
Midroog, the Israeli affiliate of Moody's Investors Service, rated the offering of up to 2.5 billion shekels 'Aaa', while Standard & Poor's Maalot rated the offering 'AAA'.
The inflation-linked bonds will pay annual interest of 1.75 percent, 0.89 percent above comparable Israeli government bonds.


On the weekend of March 11-12, the British Quidditch Cup (BQC) returns to Rugeley Leisure Centre in Staffordshire for the fourth edition of the tournament. Below, we take a look at the teams contesting Groups A to D. Read on to find out who we think will make it to the championship bracket and who will enter the consolation bracket on Day Two. Our article on Groups E to H will be coming soon.
Unsurprisingly, heading up Group A is Northern Cup champions Velociraptors QC. With an impressive 16-2 record for the season, including a 12-match winning streak going into BQC, the Midlands side led by Tom Heynes are aiming for victory at BQC, and nothing else will be acceptable for this new quidditch superpower. This is a reasonably kind group draw for the Raptors, especially considering they already have a 170*-10 win over Keele Squirrels (their likeliest challengers) under their belts this season. As long as they play to their potential throughout and avoid complacency, the Raptors should win Group A with ease before turning their focus to a championship run on Day Two.
Keele have so far had a season with more downs than ups. The Squirrels were one of many clubs hit by the large exodus of graduates from university teams at the end of last season with the departures of players like the versatile Tom Norton and reliable Alice Nightingale leaving sizeable holes on the team's roster. A tournament win at East Midlands Cup back in October looked promising for the Staffordshire team; however, a nightmare Northern Cup experience followed less than a month later. Scott Hopkins' side finished last in the tournament's 'Group of Death' behind the HogYork Horntails, Holyrood Hippogriffs Firsts, and BQC Group rivals Velociraptors QC. They ultimately finished in 14th place, their lowest ever tournament ranking. However, a 60*-50 win over reigning champions the Radcliffe Chimeras at February's Crumpet Cup suggests signs of improvement for the Squirrels going into BQC. An immensely physical quaffle player lineup – led by Captain Hopkins and featuring the likes of Chris Lawrence and Abdul Morrison – should be enough to secure them victory over the Portsmouth Horntail Strikers, second seeds in the group. Should Keele choose to use a more passing-based approach, they possess two capable receivers in the Ridley sisters, Hannah and Sarah. Meanwhile, the return of Connor Simpson should help sure up the Squirrels' beater department, which has arguably been their Achilles heel for some time now. A place in the Round of 16 is a very reasonable goal for Keele and would represent a good recovery following their Northern Cup performance; however, reaching the quarterfinals will likely prove out of reach for them this year.
The third spot in the group will most likely be contested between Portsmouth and the Brizzlebees. This will be their second encounter of the season having faced off at Southern Cup in October, a low-scoring affair in which Portsmouth claimed victory thanks to a crafty turn and catch from Captain Jack Latoy to win 60*-20. This is a tough match to call, but we can almost guarantee it will end in snitch range. The Brizzlebees enjoyed three wins at Southern Cup 2016, and given the close nature of their loss to Portsmouth in the tournament's group stage, they will be looking to get revenge on the Strikers as one of their goals for BQC. The fluctuation of roster due to promotions and demotions from the first team always makes predicting the fortunes of a second team difficult, and the Brizzlebees are no different. The promotions of Florian Messemer and George Whiting to the Bears won't help Captain Charlie Brooks' team; however, they will be gaining the experience of beater Luke Stevens and chaser Jack Lennard; they will add something to the team, particularly Stevens, who has been a reliable character for the Brizzlepuffs since the club's inception. Finley Williams will also be a commanding force at keeper. The Brizzlebees have greatly enjoyed holding the title of best secondary team in the UK for the past year following their 20th-place finish at BQC 2016, and this will certainly be the target for the team once again. However, if the Bees are to maintain this, they will have to do it without a proven replacement for Aaron Brett-Miller, whose many snitch catches made that 20th-place finish possible.
This will be Portsmouth's first BQC appearance, having missed last season's BQC due to funding and roster issues, and they will be coming into it with the confidence instilled in the team following their Southern Cup performance. Wins against Brizzlebees and Oxford Quidlings earned the Strikers an upper bracket finish in Southampton, giving the team a much more rewarding experience than the torrid affair of their 2015 appearance. However, since October, although some of their players were present at Christmas Cup and Valentines Cup fantasy tournaments, their only competitive action as a full team has been playing the Norwich Nifflers at Concrete Cup; thus a lack of match-sharpness is likely to be detrimental to the inexperienced Strikers. Captain Jack Latoy will be key to the South Coast side's progress at BQC while keeper Scott Brown and chaser/seeker Alastair Taylor continue to improve. As it stands, Portsmouth are still a relatively raw, unknown quantity at this year's BQC. This could give them the element of surprise against the teams they face, which may prove to be the edge they need.
Claiming silver at Highlander Cup IV and being the surprise team of the Southern Cup this season, the London Unspeakables go into the British Quidditch Club as a first seed and with a status to defend. Group B contains Leicester, who secured seventh place at the Northern Cup in November, as well as threatening unseeded teams the Nottingham Nightmares and the Cambridge University Quidditch Club. The Unspeakables' play at Hateful 8, even with a considerably diminished chaser lineup, however, demonstrates that to underestimate the Unspeakables as a first-seeded team would be a mistake. The Unspeakables squad selected to play at BQC is a strong one across the board, with both experienced players and fresh talent. The experienced players such as Ben Pooley, Ashara Peiris, and Pedro González-Tarrío provide a solid core for the team; however, experience is not something the Unspeakables need rely on. New players, including Olly Nguyen and Gio Forino, already show the promise of becoming game changers. Additionally, the Unspeakables have fierce female players including Monique Davis, Eva Verpe, and Glory Tan. Tan also adds depth to the Unspeakables' seeking game alongside the talents of their captain, Matt Bateman. The aptitude and determination of the team should give the Unspeakables an edge that will see them top their group and go through to the upper bracket. If Day One goes to form, a rematch with Holyrood Hippogriffs Firsts in the Round of 16 is on the cards and should it materialise would prove to be a match to measure the development of these two teams since their last meeting at October's Highlander Cup IV. Reaching the quarterfinals is well within the abilities of this Unspeakables side, a result that would represent a substantial improvement on last year's disappointing 24th-place finish.
The UK's oldest club, the Leicester Thestrals, have historically been a very comfortable mid-tier team for many seasons now, and this one is no different. However, what is impressive about this year's team is that they have been able to maintain this status despite the major losses of beater Dan Trick and the long-serving Warren McFadyen to Velociraptors QC and beater Andrew Mclachlan-Newens. The Thestrals put in a respectable seventh-place performance at Northern Cup in November, falling in the quarterfinals in a 180*-0 drubbing by eventual tournament champions Velociraptors QC. Their only other bit of competitive action this season was a joint-training session and set of friendlies with Oxford University Quidditch Club, and the team will hope they are not out of match practice when they take the pitch in Rugeley. Keeper Elliot Fisher continues to get better and better with every game he plays, and his driving ability is important to the team's strategy. In the beating department, Gabri Hall-Rapa is a key figure; his aggressive beating can prove unbearable at times for the opposition, not to mention his uncanny ability to force quaffle turnovers on defence. Alex Lewis is a highly underestimated chaser, as is his teammate Jo Creighton, who has shown a marked improvement in the past year, while the power of Joseph Wilson and lightning speed of Tom Hutton as a seeker rotation can cause a real problem for even the best snitches.
In a similar vein to Keele, the Nottingham Nightmares are another team who thus far this season have paled in comparison with the one that reached two European Quidditch Cup (EQC) semifinals in two years. An extensive list of departing players have led to the Nightmares losing many key elements of their roster, making this season very much a transitional one for Captain Rachel Lily and her team. Ninth place at Northern Cup was a reasonable result considering the team's lost personnel. They impressively managed to hold Tornadoes QC within overtime range in a low-scoring 80*-20 affair as well picking up large wins over Chester Centurions and Liverpuddly Cannons before being knocked out by Holyrood Hippogriffs Firsts in overtime on Day Two.
Nottingham's results suggest they can compete in the mid-tier at BQC, and therefore a spot in the upper bracket will be a realistic goal for the team. Quaffle player Tommy Ruler, one of seven 'old guard' players from last season, will be key to the Nightmares in their battle with Leicester Thestrals for that Round of 16 spot, along with the often underrated Jazzy Drew. Meanwhile, their 11 freshers will be looking to prove their value to the team in their debut BQC. The Nightmares' main problem may prove to be a lack of depth in their beater and seeker departments. Replacing Lucy Q and David Goswell, two of the best aggressive beaters and seekers in the UK, respectively, is by no means an easy task, and with few proven options in these positions, could prove to be their undoing against Leicester's Hall-Rapa and Wilson/Hutton duo. While a match with Warwick QC in the first round of upper bracket play almost inevitably awaits the victor, the team that loses has a good chance of making a deep run in the consolation bracket.
Cambridge round out this strong group as decided underdogs after a less than stellar performance at the Southern Regional Championship, with their only win coming against a Norwich side who, whilst playing close games, didn't pick up a win. The loss of Captain Thomas Hardman for the final game dropped the Cambridge team down to eight players, where they suffered a big loss against Swansea 170*-10. With a previous over-reliance on Hardman in their quaffle lineup, the addition of ex-Durham keeper James Marschalek will be sure to take some of the pressure away from the captain to let him focus on the games around him.
The big worry for them will be whether their beaters have been able to fuse together and learn to communicate as the holes at Southern Cup were down to some aggressive beaters taking advantage and being able to rack up scores with some strong pressing action.
Tornadoes will be going into this tournament eager to write the wrongs of their last BQC campaign, where (as Taxes Quidditch) they fell afoul of Chester Centurions in pool play, wound up in the lower bracket, and then had the final snatched away from them by York in overtime. As the group's top seed, this Tornadoes side can be confidently predicted to reverse last year's performance and make the upper bracket. The geographically-loose side barrelled into an EQC berth at Northern Cup after a series of impressive results, including a 200*-40 victory over Bangor Broken Broomsticks before an overtime win against Loughborough. Their quaffle game contains the likes of Tom Dutton, David Goswell, Emily Hayes, and Bex McLaughlin, all of whom have superb ball-handling and finishing ability. Tornadoes also benefit from the presence of Jonathon Cookes in the black headband, whose ability to make pinpoint beats at range, whilst being nearly impossible to tackle, is borderline unfair. In addition to Cookes' impressive transition to beater, the return of Lee Baughan and Becky Thomson, and the acquisition of Ben Dawes will strengthen what was previously the team's weakest position. Having handily defeated Chester once already this season in a 80-30* quaffle shutout, and beating teams with the calibre of Bangor and Loughborough, Tornadoes have given more than enough evidence that they can see off all competition in this group out of snitch range. However, if anything will threaten Tornadoes' progression through the tournament, it is a lack of training time (nothing new for the team) and a physical driving keeper to give the team a reliable source of goals in what is mostly a quaffle player lineup whose strength lies more with speed and agility. Cookes can easily be used in this role as well, but Captain Will Johnson will need to be careful not to overwork such a key player.
The Chimeras' performance at Southern Cup was a clear sign of a team in a transitional period. This season's crop of Chimeras are a far cry from the invincible juggernaut that dominated BQC III following a mass exodus at the end of last season and an inability to fully replace the calibre of the players who left. TeamUK beater Alice Walker continues to have a strong season and is commanding on any stretch of the pitch, Rob Brignull is a safe pair of hands in goal, and Hannah Watts has solid ball-carrying ability. The absence of Bathilisk convert Mathilda Rose, who was their fiercest point of attack at Southern Cup, will be missed, although they have found a more than capable replacement in former Nottingham Nightmares Coach Mikey Ansell – a major threat in both the quaffle and seeker game. Of all the players who left the Chimeras at the end of last season, TeamUK beater Jan Mikolajczak is arguably the team's biggest loss; his frantic bludger play and incredible stamina was vital in winning the team's second BQC title. This leaves a lot of pressure on Mikolajczak's understudy from last season and this year's vice-captain Jamie Cash to fill this role. Overall, considering their past performances and the calibre of their Group C opponents, the Chimeras should safely take the second place berth by beating Reading Rocs and Chester. They may even fancy their chances against Tornadoes if they can perfectly apply an effective game plan and capitalise on a disjointed start from their opponents, allowing a seeker rotation of Ansell and Mark Richards a chance in snitch range to make the all-important grab. The prospect of a title defence and third BQC win for Oxford's A-team is fairly unlikely, but a run to the quarterfinals is not out of the question.
Chester Centurions are having a strange season. They defended their title at Cottonopolis III, proving themselves a match for teams on the lower end of the middle tier, such as Manchester Manticores. Conversely, they very nearly didn't qualify for BQC after a worrying campaign at Northern Cup that saw them lose in pool play to Tornadoes, lose 220*-40 to Nottingham Nightmares, and narrowly avoid defeat to a Liverpuddly Cannons side who were on top for large parts of the game. The loss of beater Jessica O'Neill to Velociraptors QC has been telling, although Olly Barker has been playing like a titan in the black headband and effectively carrying the team to compensate. The telling thing for Chester this season isn't the personnel they've lost; it's the lack of energy from the personnel they've retained. Andy Messenger and Connor Climo are still doing a solid job in quaffle carrying, but overall the team's finishing wasn't what it was at Whiteknights, allowing the likes of Manchester and Sheffield to keep them in range. Teams that can counter-attack have found Chester flat-footed when resetting their defence, and their cohesion as a unit is much lessened from last season. The return of beater Harry Parkes to the team is very much welcome and could free up Barker to play his primary position of chaser and provide a much-needed extra goal threat. The Centurions are most likely to finish in third in the group, although Reading keeping them in range isn't out of the question. Seeing them challenge the Chimeras or repeating last year's shock victory over Tornadoes is highly unlikely – that said, give Barker a bludger and miracles can happen.
The Reading Rocs were forced out of Southern Cup with a BQC berth but no victory to their name, despite several close encounters. The Rocs held the Chimeras to a fifty-point lead prior to the end of the seeker floor before the game got away from them; they also lost to Exeter Eagles in range on Day One before a 120*^-90 overtime defeat to the Bristol Brizzlebees, despite historically having a surprisingly good record in OT. Losses to the tune of John Calzolari and Harry Richardson – their two most adept quaffle carriers – are going to hurt them badly, along with a lack of competitive experience. Unlike their Group C rivals, they have not played since Southern Cup. Molly Whitaker remains a great finisher, but tends to not call for passes except when trolling close to the hoops; a slight tweak to that gives them a brilliant midfield option. Molly Maurice-Smith has developed strongly as a ball carrier and safe pair of hands under pressure, and Nick England is similarly a great space-finder and driver. All that being said, the Rocs are ultimately still suffering following their departures at the end of last season. They don't have a utility player as effective as Tom Newton, a driver or tackler as powerful as Finley Williams, or anyone to fill the boots of the highly industrious and talented Chris Thomas in beater play. Lack of personnel and competitive experience will most probably condemn Reading to last place in this pool.
One of this year's main title contenders, Werewolves of London come into BQC with some favorable results in previous outings this season. An astonishing group stage at the regional championship where they finished with a +630PD range, including a 220*-20 game against reigning champions Radcliffe Chimeras, was then followed up with a decent Day Two before coming undone against Warwick Quidditch Club in the finals. The Werewolves had their revenge at Hateful 8 where, after finishing second in pool play, they beat Warwick 80*-30 on Day Two on their way to a second-place finish. Werewolves go into BQC with one eye already on the second day of play. They are clear favorites to take the top spot in this group, although they will still have to be switched on to see off a challenge from Leeds Griffins. But with a favorable unseeded draw on their side, they shouldn't have to come out of second gear in their other games.
Besides appearing at Northern Cup, Leeds Griffins are one of the teams who have been in the competitive wilderness for most of the season and therefore have an air of unknown around them. At Northern Cup they performed admirably, with an undefeated Day One, including a tense game against Leicester Quidditch Club, which they won 130*-100 after being equal throughout. Day Two was a crash back to earth, with a heavy defeat by Durhamstrang in the quarterfinal, not helped by a straight red for Josh Armitage, crushing their hopes of an EQC spot in the process. With a very solid seeker in Matty Percival, they will be confident in themselves to secure wins against perceived 'bigger' teams if they can hold to SWIM. Along with Percival, the Griffins have ever-presents in keeper Josh Armitage, Captain Sash Steele, and chaser/beater Chris Culling, not to mention an impressive fresher intake for the season who will be more than willing to prove themselves on the national stage. The Griffins will rely on the strong bond the team shares to push them on further into Day Two.
Once again, the Norwich Nifflers will be massive underdogs at BQC. Without a win at Southern 2016, a thrilling 210*-130 loss to Southampton Quidditch Club 2 proved they can match the other teams towards the bottom of the pack. BQC presents another problem; with heavyweights Werewolves and a strong second seed in Leeds, Norwich will be looking towards their game against the Durham Direwolves to prop them up into the third place of their group. Looking ahead to Day Two, if they play to their potential, Norwich could very easily rack up two or three wins at this year's BQC. Beater Georgie Rumney will have to be at her very best to help this team fly higher, along with Laura Jamieson who had an impressive Southern Cup alongside Rumney. The Nifflers will also need Thomas Gymer and Endijs Daniels Paulins to be on top form as goal scorers to give the team any chance of victory. The most exciting prospect to look out for is Lizzie Turner, who impressed at Valentines Cup as a strong keeper with some great tackles and blocks for her team.
Durham Direwolves enter BQC with the second-smallest roster in the tournament, which could come back to bite them. Their only win at Northern was an unconvincing win against the Edinburgh seconds in the group stages, though they did hold both Leicester and Leeds to under 100PD difference in both games before unceremoniously being ousted in the first round of the lower bracket by Keele Squirrels. Their performance at Compass Cup was laboured, but this was most likely due to only arriving with 10 players and ultimately having to forfeit Day Two as a result.
They also have a good starting six, including Alexander Lusty, Wing Lam Ho, and the standout at Compass Cup and player to watch, Lydia Robinson, a chaser with shades of ex-Durhamstrang Captain Jackie Woodburn. The Direwolves lack depth though, and without the squad numbers, they may find it tough to measure up against other teams who will have the fresh legs of substitutes to fall back on if they lose any of their key players. Direwolves will probably look at this tournament as experience for their players and possibly scouting for their first team, when their graduates move on.

Prayer is meaningless unless it is subversive, unless it seeks to overthrow and to ruin the pyramids of callousness, hatred, opportunism and falsehood. The liturgical movement must become a revolutionary movement, seeking to overthrow the forces that continue to destroy the promise, the hope, the vision.- Abraham Joshua Heschel, "On Prayer"
Lose with truth and right rather than gain with falsehood and wrong.- Maimonides, "Tzavaah"
Seek the good in everyone, and reveal it, bring it forth.- Rabbi Nachman of Breslov (1772-1811), "Likutey Moharan"

The US will bolster an Israeli anti-rocket system with $70 million (£44 million) in assistance this year, with more funding likely in the future, Leon Panetta, the Defence Secretary said.
The "Iron Dome" air defence network has been credited with thwarting Palestinian militant rocket and mortar attacks out of Gaza.
"My goal is to ensure Israel has the funding it needs each year to produce these batteries that can protect its citizens," the Pentagon chief said in a statement after meeting with his Israeli counterpart, Ehud Barak.
"That is why going forward over the next three years, we intend to request additional funding for Iron Dome, based on an annual assessment of Israeli security requirements against an evolving threat," the statement also quoted Panetta as saying.
The announcement fell short of predictions published in Israel's Haaretz daily that Washington was ready to commit to $680 million to pay for more anti-rocket batteries over several years.
Instead, the US administration chose to provide $70 million for the current year and review the issue in future years, allowing some potential leverage over Israel.
US-Israeli relations have been strained over how to counter Iran's nuclear program, with Washington arguing that sanctions need to be given a chance to work while Israeli leaders have suggested time is running out and that unilateral military action may soon be necessary.
Panetta called the aid for the air defense system "part of our rock solid commitment to Israel's security," which comes "on top of approximately $3 billion in annual security assistance."
The Pentagon has already delivered $205 million in assistance for the Iron Dome system.
Panetta added that "we will stay in close consultation in the years ahead to ensure we are making necessary investments in this important system."
Barak's visit to Washington was the third in as many months and came as the United States and other major powers prepared for a fresh round talks this month with Iran on its nuclear program.
In recent weeks, Israel has launched a diplomatic offensive to drive home its concerns to world powers in advance of the May 23 talks in Baghdad.
Barak warned on Monday that the United States and other powers were only making "minimalist" demands of Iran that would fail to persuade Tehran to halt its disputed nuclear drive.
But a commentary published Thursday by former spy chiefs from Germany, Israel and the United States as well as other ex-officials argued that there was still time for sanctions to work. The authors called for ratcheting up punitive measures designed to fully deny Iran access to foreign banks, international shipping and foreign insurance companies.
"It is still in Iran's interest to change course and address international concerns regarding possible military aspects of its nuclear program," the authors wrote in the Wall Street Journal.
"Our rationale is based on strong empirical evidence from the last few months that sanctions are having a tangible impact."
Israel and most of the West believe Iran's nuclear energy program masks a drive to develop atomic weapons. Tehran denies such intentions.

Sixers Paid Pelicans $3 Million For Not Disclosing Jrue Holiday's Injuries
The Sixers are also seeking money from the Lakers for being misinformed about Andrew Bynum's health.
By Jake Pavorsky@JakePavorsky Jun 28, 2015, 8:30am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Sixers Paid Pelicans $3 Million For Not Disclosing Jrue Holiday's Injuries
Eric Hartline-USA TODAY Sports
If there's anything the Philadelphia 76ers need more than anything right now -- other than a starting point guard -- it's some good press. Between Joel Embiid's setback, other executives becoming annoyed with the Sixers extended rebuilding plan, and agents angered by their negotiating tactics, Sam Hinkie has essentially become the NBA equivalent of a supervillian. But a new report from the Philadelphia Inquirer Saturday evening does little to help paint the Sixers general manager in a positive light.
From Keith Pompey:
The 76ers were ordered to pay the New Orleans Pelicans $3 million by the NBA last season for not fully disclosing Jrue Holiday's injury history before he was traded two years ago, according to two sources.
The sources said Holiday played with stress fractures in his lower right leg during his final season with the Sixers. However, the sources said, those injures weren't fully disclosed to the Pelicans.
Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie declined to comment, but a Sixers team source disputed the allegation.
"That's not true," the Sixers source added.
There's a lot going on here. Two people, seemingly outside the organization, are saying something pretty damning, while an organizational source seems to be doing its best to cover the team's ass. Pompey astutely notes later in the article that an ailment of this kind should have popped up when the Pelicans conducted a physical, especially if this was something that didn't receive any sort of procedure.
Our own Matt Carey also points out that the league by-laws for this kind of ordeal state the maximum penalty is $1 million, so something is missing here. Regardless, that isn't really the point.
The problem is that Sam Hinkie has genuinely pissed off a lot of people during his short tenure in Philadelphia, and people are willing to start leaking stuff to the press if that means throwing him under the bus. This is not the first time he's been accused of devious tactics, and frankly, it seems like the issues might start catching up.
These negative reports keep continue to pile on top of each other, and are seemingly going to hurt his ability to conduct business going forward. For the most part, everything he has done seems to be within NBA rules, but you can only tip-toe the lines of legality and treat people like robots instead of humans for so long until teams and agents no longer want to deal with you.
Based off the amount the organization was fined and the time at which this information is released, it seems as though there's more to this. Whether the full story comes to light at this point, who knows. Regardless, it's a bad look for a general manager who seems to hold a consensus around the league for being pretty shady.
Pompey also dropped this tidbit:
According to the other two sources, the Sixers are now trying to receive a payment from the Los Angeles Lakers for allegedly misinforming them about Andrew Bynum. Bynum came to the Sixers from Los Angeles in a four-team deal in August 2012. But the 7-foot center never played for the team due to chronically injured knees.
"They are saying the Lakers didn't disclose all of the information about Bynum's knees," one of the sources said. "They think they should be able to get some type of monetary resolution."
This seems like a serious uphill battle the Sixers are trying to fight. Bynum's knee issues were documented for years before he was acquired during the summer of 2012, and Philadelphia trotted him around to doctors who gave their blessing on the deal. Not to mention, there was the famous bowling incident while Bynum was a member of the Sixers where he re-damaged his already shattered knees.
Compared to the Jrue Holiday situation, where they seemingly hid information about the injury, the Bynum ordeal seems like sour grapes.
On one hand, the Sixers pretty much knowingly screwed over another team. On the other, they took a gamble and lost. These seem like two really different situations.
The Sixers may receive some serious public backlash for this report, but to most around the league, I imagine they're starting to see shady dealings as something right up Philadelphia's alley.

Errol H. Joseph 1926-2020
YOUNGSTOWN — Mr. Errol H. Joseph, 94, took flight to his eternal home Thursday, Nov. 26, 2020.
Mr. Joseph, affectionately known as "King O" and "Trinidad," was born Jan. 16, 1926, in Port of Spain, Trinidad, a son of Louis and Hylda Branda Joseph.
A devoted Christian, Joseph was a member of the Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church, where he was baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost March 12, 1989. Mr. Joseph had been employed with General Motors, retiring in 1969. He enjoyed doing home repairs, classical music and traveling (especially to Trinidad and New York), but most of all he loved being with his family.
He leaves to mourn his passing, but to rejoice in his eternal peace, his devoted wife, the former Addis Chapman, whom he married in 1967; eight children, June Theodore of Youngstown, Cheryl (James) Williams of Oahu, Hawaii, Donna Davis of Stow, Ralph Joseph of Kono, Hawaii, Desiree Harris of Canton, Richard (Kitye) Joseph of Peoria, Ariz., and Magna (Michael) Blackwell and Nicole (Alfred Jr.) Coward, both of Youngstown; 26 grandchildren; numerous great-grandchildren; a sister, Lillis Joseph of Youngstown; a host of nieces and nephews (some of whom he contributed to their growth); and other family and friends.
Besides his parents, he was preceded in death by four siblings, Ethel Ector, Vincent Joseph, Vera Parks and Sybil Gonzales; and two granddaughters, Rachel and Jesma Theodore.
Private services were held for Mr. Joseph Wednesday, Dec. 2, 2020, at Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church.
Arrangements were entrusted to the L. E. Black, Phillips and Holden Funeral Home.

Guinga (Carlos Althier de Souza Lemos Escobar; born June 10, 1950) is a Brazilian guitarist and composer born in Madureira, a working-class suburb of Rio de Janeiro. As a child, he was nicknamed "Gringo", because of his pale skin, and the artistic name "Guinga" comes from the way he pronounced the word.

Biography
His uncle taught him to play the guitar when he was eleven years old.
Guinga began composing music at the age of 14. In 1967, when he was 17, his song "Sou Só Solidão" reached the first eliminatory round in Rede Globo's second Festival Internacional da Canção (International Festival of Song). At the age of 26, he began his five-year classical guitar studies with Jodacil Damasceno.

During the 1970s, Guinga accompanied famous singers such as Beth Carvalho and João Nogueira and recorded with samba legends Cartola and Clara Nunes. He also began a fertile songwriting partnership with the poet and lyricist Paulo Cesar Pinheiro. Their songs were recorded by important artists like Elis Regina, Nelson Gonçalves, Miúcha, Clara Nunes, and Michel Legrand.

During the same time, Guinga embarked on a parallel career in dentistry, which he practiced for nearly thirty years.
His music career took off in earnest in 1990, when Ivan Lins and Vitor Martins formed the Velas label in order to release Guinga's first album, with a repertoire of songs he co-authored with lyricist Aldir Blanc.

Guinga is known for his songwriting and his skill on the guitar.
He is known for drawing on many musical genres, including choro, samba, baião, frevo, modinha, waltz, foxtrot, blues, classical music, and jazz. His compositions are often harmonically and rhythmically complex, while being melodic.

Badger State board eyes new hedge fund allocation
Barry B. Burr
State of Wisconsin Investment Board, Madison, could search for 25 hedge fund managers over the next 36 months under a recommendation to allocate up to 5% of the board's $62.5 billion core fund to absolute-return strategies, according to a board report.
The hedge fund allocation would be the first for the board, which oversees $70 billion in assets.
Fifteen of the managers could be hired in 2010 for an initial 2% hedge fund allocation, with another 10 managers hired as the allocation is increased to 4% to 5% by mid-2011, the report said.
The hedge fund allocation would be diversified among the managers across style, strategy and geography, the report said.
Cliffwater, the board's hedge fund consultant, is assisting in developing policies and an implementation plan for the hedge fund allocation, the report said. Asset allocation consultant Strategic Investment Solutions assisted.
Hedge funds would "reduce variance from equities" and "move assets into higher risk-adjusted strategies for a potentially smooth total fund return stream," the report said.
The board plans to consider the recommendations Jan. 26, said Vicki Hearing, public information officer.


Hey there! So, I'm pretty new to to the FreeBSD forums (signed up today), and I seem to be having a strange issue with internet on FreeBSD.
The internet worked fine for about 1 hour a couple of days ago, then suddenly stopped working.
My Ethernet controller is a Qualcomm Atheros AR8162 Fast Ethernet (rev 10) and my WiFi controller is a Broadcom Limited BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) (I'm pretty sure this one doesn't work on FreeBSD, so I'm trying to get the Ethernet to work).
I've tried reinstalling FreeBSD multiple times and switching between DHCP and a static IP, but that didn't help.
My router gateway is 192.168.0.1 if you're wondering.
Can you ping IP addresses? E.g. Your default gateway? Something on the internet like 8.8.8.8?
No, I can not ping anything. Not my router or anything on the internet.
This has been bothering me for days, and I can't figure out what's wrong.
I think it has 2 inet addresses because I have both dhclient and dhcpcd.
tcpdump shows that my router is replying and giving a DHCP offer, dhclient just isn't accepting it. dhcpcd is just assigning a IPv4LL address which is completely useless.
What are the actual error messages you got? Unless you share that then all we can do is guess. Can you share some output by any chance?
That seems quite off. What command did you try? Also try using the -d parameter and see what the output tells you.
Also: what error did you get when you used ping?
(edit): also: how did you use ping? With an IP address or hostname?
Personally, I would try installing FreeBSD using the mini-memstick image... That establishes an Internet connection if it can and then you don't subsequently need to figure out how to set it up.
I used the memstick image for all of my reinstalls.
Cables are fine. The internet did *not* work in the installer. I used the memstick image, not the mini-memstick one.
No. I don't feel like reinstalling it again because I actually have some important stuff on that harddrive now.
Then something doesn't add up. Because that image requires an Internet connection in order to download the rest *, yet what you showed above demonstrated that your machine can't get an IP address because no DHCP server can be reached.
And the odds that a live system would work after which the installed system would fail are quite slim.
What FreeBSD version are you trying to install / use anyway?
* Wrong conclusion on my part.
Then something doesn't add up. Because that image requires an Internet connection in order to download the rest, yet what you showed above demonstrated that your machine can't get an IP address because no DHCP server can be reached.
There's your problem then; that's a developer snapshot which is basically unstable. There are no guarantees that it'll run at all. You'd normally only use this to look for problems (and possible answers) yourself, in fact that's more or less expected.
My suggestion is to stick with a public release instead which is also actually supported. Like FreeBSD 11.
I wouldn't say that's the problem, because I've tried 11-RELEASE too and have the same issue.
Hmm, I carefully re-read the whole thread again and noticed that I overlooked one comment: that you also didn't have an Internet connection during the installation phase (I am curious how you checked though). I edited my previous post accordingly because I also drew a wrong conclusion there.
Even so: using 12-CURRENT wasn't a good decision. There's a reason why this forum doesn't officially support that version and even somewhat discourages its use.
Right now I can only conclude that the cause of this problem lies elsewhere (also because things used to work, then suddenly didn't and reinstalling (thus also rebooting) didn't change anything). What does the output of ifconfig alc0 look like?
The only possibilities I can come up with right now is a hardware problem somewhere, or maybe some kind of negotiation problem between your NIC and the router. Although uncommon it is possible that if both the NIC and the router port are set to auto-negotiate that clashes can happen, usually resulting in less optimal settings but I could imagine that in extreme cases no valid connection gets setup (though do I find that scenario highly unlikely).
You said it worked for a few hours then stopped. Tried turning the PC off for a few hours and then tried again? Wouldn't solve anything but could get you leads to the cause of all this.
You can always try installing on a USB device, even a micro SDHC card. You could mount the other drive and copy the important stuff in case it gets lost.
Hey, thanks for the help. I do not believe that it is a hardware problem since Ethernet/WiFi works fine on my Linux installation.
I've had the computer turned off for several hours (even though I doubt that would fix anything).
