Google Announces New Tools To Help with Virtual Education During the Pandemic
UK Issues New Travel Advice For Foreign Students Can Work For 3 Years After Graduating. The UK government releases new modality for foreign students. The UK in their latest travel advice has offered some flexibility into their rules for international students applying for study visas due to ongoing global restrictions as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. This is a welcome development by the UK government to enhance the state of well being of its foreign citizens.
The Visa and Immigration office said that students who cannot travel to the UK due to restrictions can start their studies remotely without applying for a Tier-4 student visa. It advised the international students to only apply for their visa when they are confident they can travel.
However, This is contained in the latest travel advice that was issued by the UK Visa and Immigration Office for UK visa applicants and temporary UK residents.
The UK, while introducing the measure, admitted that the ongoing global restrictions may mean that some students will face delays in their travel plans to begin their studies this academic year and as such had to come up with some flexibility to their rules to help the students. Also, as part of the measure, the UK Visa and Immigration office disclosed that for the rest of 2020, they will issue visa vignettes for 90 days as against the usual 30 days. This is to give a longer window for the students to travel, meaning more time and flexibility to arrange for their travel.
The Content of the news release from the UK Visa and Immigration
The travel advice also stated that the Graduate Route will be available to international students who successfully complete a degree at the undergraduate level or above, at a higher education provider with a track record of compliance and who have valid Tier-4 or students leave at the time of application.
It states that successful applicants will be able to stay and work in the UK for 2 years after graduating, Ph.D. graduates will get 3 years to stay and work.

The first TEDx Youth event was held at Shen Wai International School (SWIS) on the 23rd of March 2019. The theme of the event was "Glass Ceilings: Breaking Norms". TEDxYouth@SWIS is the first ever TEDx youth event organized by SWIS. TEDx is an initiative by TED to give a platform to ideas worth sharing.
"Glass Ceilings: Breaking Norms" represent barriers set by oneself and society. The event revolved around an individual's idea of breaking norms and brings out the uniqueness of these individuals thoughts and actions. School Director, Ally Wu, welcomed the speakers and audience on the day of the event. Seven distinguished speakers were invited to give inspiring speeches, on such subjects which included the impact of popular culture on food choices that people make and its impact on the ecosystem, robotics and gene technology as well as alternative ways to raise money for charity through various technological platforms. There was also an emphasis on the importance of breaking language barriers in order to connect and inspire the rest of the world and how it can benefit an enterprises and individuals alike. The SWIS TEDx event had an equal representation of female and male speakers. This highlighted that we live in a world of equality and that there should always be equal female representation compared to male. The theme also focused on how one can inspire themselves to do something beyond the normal convention to achieve a rewarding and satisfying career for themselves. Every talk was inspiring and unique from its counterparts on the day.
This event was very well received by the audience and a wonderful success. A huge thank you to all the SWIS staff members and student volunteers who helped and assisted with the smooth running of this event.

Sitong Sheng is the brain behind the HYK gene sequencing company. HYK Gene was officially established in Shenzhen in 2008 but the R&D began before, while he was doing research at his own laboratory in Charlottesville, Virginia. Sheng already had an idea to start a company and commercialize the technology but didn't know if it was better to do it in the US or in China. Encouragement of the then-Minister of Health of China, Minister Chen Zhu, helped Sheng to take his novel technology to China to establish a truly Chinese innovative gene sequencing company – with its own independent intellectual property rights and patents. Sheng was therefore invited back as one of the first batch of China's 'Thousand Talents Plan'. HYK Gene is a product company. While China is now a global giant in the field of genome sequencing, the vast majorities of players here do not have their own products but rather, act as users or distributors for foreign products.

It isn't easy being Louisa Elizabeth Fitzhenry-O'Shaughnessy—especially with dyslexia. She prefers Lou Fox, the dream name she'll use one day as a famous Broadway playwright. In the meantime, Lou is stuck in fifth grade with Mrs. Snyder, a total Shadow Phantom of a teacher who can spot a daydream from across the room but doesn't know anything about ADHD. Mrs. Snyder's constant attention is ex-cru-ci-a-ting. If only she would disappear.
Fortunately, life isn't all a-tro-cious. There's The Haunting at Lakeside School, the play Lou is writing and directing for her two best friends. And soon she'll be a big sister at last. Nothing could ruin the joy of those things…right?

Clutter. And how to get rid of it.
Do you have a spot in your house that is a catch-all for ALL THE STUFF?
At my house, it's the dining room table. Friday mornings are my clean the house hours. Every week, I am amazed by how much stuff accumulates on the dining room table. Like, what would do if we actually wanted to eat there? It's not my favorite chore, but it's necessary. I think we could all agree with the value in having a clear space. A decluttered space gives me a sense or accomplishment and calm. A dining room table heaped with paper, laundry, junk mail, random toys and art supplies makes me…….not calm.
Decluttering our thoughts is equally important as decluttering our spaces.
Many women are stuck in a cluttered mindset as it relates to their health and wellness. They set out a goal, or have an idea of what they'd like their healthy lifestyle to look like.
They're essentially beginning their journey towards a healthy, balanced life preloaded with excuses.
They're not wrong. They may even feel like they're just being honest. And they are! Part of creating your own wellness path is being honest with the limitations you are facing or may face. This is where the decluttering comes in.
To declutter, we need to replace this tornado of confusing thoughts with a single open minded thought that acknowledges that nothing is perfect but we are capable of finding a way.
Negative thought: My family will never eat these healthy recipes that I want to make. I don't want to deal with the dinner battles, I can't change my eating habits.
Unrealistic/perfectionist thought: My family will totally love every new recipe I make and my kids will request healthy food every day and never mention chicken nuggets again.
Open minded thought: I am committed to developing healthier eating habits. My family may not love every recipe I try, but they will like some things and we can still have our old favorites once in awhile.
Basing this thought process in optimistic realism makes your goal seem a lot more doable, which boosts confidence, which makes you more likely to reach your outcome without guilt or stress.
Where do you need to declutter today?

Wonder if this book's any good to buy. The last time I took on a literary recommendation by Bono was Bukowski. Now, that was good, and made me a fan of all of his works. Naturally, it made me fonder of the song "Dirty Day".
I just got it out of the library — I loved Butcher Boy and The Dead School, but not Breakfast on Pluto, so I'm eager to see how this one goes over — see if it lives up to Bono's blurb on the back, the only other two display quotes they have are from newspapers, and they are one line and have nothing to do with this book in particular. And, of course, they can't match King Bon's gift for literary capsule review!!

For number of years, we have been informed about the sun and its effects. From the very beginning we have been told that the sun is unsafe for health and we must protect ourselves since it causes cancer. The truth is much more shaded. Let us try to see it more clearly. The evil of the sun is that it is greatly responsible for skin cancer and that is right.
The Ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun causes dilation of the blood vessels. It causes redness of the skin. In case of overexposure, it is the burn, the well-known 'sunburn'. When the skin increases its pigmentation to filter the sun, it is the 'tanning', at the same time the skin increases the thickness of its different superficial layers, becoming thicker it will lose its suppleness and the wrinkles will appear.
The infrared rays of the sun go through deeper into the skin than the ultra violet rays. Their action will also widen the cutaneous vessels and produce a heat effect. This effect of heat warns us that we should avoid exposure to the sun. Overexposure causes skin lesions, especially pre-cancerous ones. Likewise, the benefit of the sun is that it protects us from cancer and it is also true.
Recent studies conducted by experts in the field show that the higher the amount of sunlight, the fewer cancers of the colon and breast. Other similar studies reveal that it is the same for cancers of the ovaries and prostate and the list only continues to grow. In addition, people with cancer have a better diagnosis if they expose themselves to the sun. Let us see why is the sun beneficial?
Why is the sun beneficial to us? Vitamin D is produced in the bottom layers of the skin. Cholesterol is one of the important links in the production of vitamin D. In turn the sun plays its role and synthesizes the vitamin D3 which cannot exist without it. Vitamin D3 would not only have an important role in the prevention of cancer but also in the treatment of this disease.

TopThere are few things that impact our lives as much as our sense of time. Singapore is a 'fast-paced' city where deadlines, time-saving apps and fertility clocks shape people's actions and experiences, and where many feel 'time poor', even if they are cash rich. In this module, we examine the ways in which we take time for granted through analysing the ways in which our lives are temporally grounded. We do so particularly through tracing connections between individual experience, social life and technologies such as clocks and watches, electric lighting and the internet. Is time-stress inevitable in this day and age? What does it mean to use one's time well?

Coming Home (isländska: Aftur heim, svenska: Hem igen) är en låt framförd av den isländska gruppen Sigurjón's Friends. Låten representerade Island vid Eurovision Song Contest 2011 i Düsseldorf, Tyskland efter att ha fått omkring 26% av de isländska rösterna. Låten är skriven och komponerad av Sigurjón Brink och hans fru Þórunn Erna Clausen. Från början var det tänkt att Brink skulle framföra bidraget, men han avled två veckor före tävlan och därmed tog hans närmaste vänner hans sånginsats. Låten blev i mars 2011 översatt till engelska, då med titeln "Coming home", vilket gruppen kommer tävla med i Düsseldorf.

Marriott Breach — What Happened, How Serious Is It And Who Is Impacted?
Hotel group Marriott has suffered a massive data breach affecting the records of up to 500 million customers. Here's what happened Source: Marriott Breach — What Happened, How Serious Is It And Who Is Impacted?


Image clustering has been a critical preprocessing step for vision tasks, e.g., visual concept discovery, content-based image retrieval. Conventional image clustering methods use handcraft visual descriptors as basic features via K-means, or build the graph within spectral clustering. Recently, representation learning with deep structure shows appealing performance in unsupervised feature pre-treatment. However, few studies have discussed how to deploy deep representation learning to image clustering problems, especially the unified framework which integrates both representation learning and ensemble clustering for efficient image clustering still remains void. In addition, even though it is widely recognized that with the increasing number of basic partitions, ensemble clustering gets better performance and lower variances, the best number of basic partitions for a given data set is a pending problem. In light of this, we propose the Infinite Ensemble Clustering (IEC), which incorporates the power of deep representation and ensemble clustering in a one-step framework to fuse infinite basic partitions. Generally speaking, a set of basic partitions is firstly generated from the image data. Then by converting the basic partitions to the 1-of-K codings, we link the marginalized auto-encoder to the infinite ensemble clustering with i.i.d. basic partitions, which can be approached by the closed-form solutions. Finally we follow the layer-wise training procedure and feed the concatenated deep features to K-means for final clustering. Extensive experiments on diverse vision data sets with different levels of visual descriptors demonstrate both the time efficiency and superior performance of IEC com-pared to the state-of-the-art ensemble clustering and deep clustering methods.


Dear Father Renato and all friends of the Monastery, thank you very much for an amazing and very special experience – both spiritual and hospitality nice. We really appreciated the kind and generous hospitality. Kind and warm regards.

CNY Star Among 5 Named Sports Illustrated 'Athlete of the Year'
Breanna Stewart (Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images)
Instead of naming one Athlete of the Year for 2020, Sports Illustrated is recognizing a group of champions who not only excelled in their respective sports, but who also 'rose to the occasion' off the playing surface.
SI chose the 'Athlete Activist' as its Athlete of the Year, bestowing the honor on five athletes who won titles, and were loud voices in the pursuit of racial equality. They are LeBron James, Patrick Mahomes, Breanna Stewart, Naomi Osaka and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif.
Stewart, a graduate of Cicero-North Syracuse High School, returned from a torn Achilles in 2019 to win her second WNBA Championship, and her second Finals MVP award, in the bubble with her Seattle Storm. Off the court, the 26-year-old was a vocal supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and spoke out about the tragic death of Breonna Tayler.
From SI's Megan Rapinoe:
The WNBA players made sure everyone knew that they were playing for Breonna Taylor every time they went on the court this season, that they were playing to say Black Lives Matter. Honestly, I was in awe the whole time I was in the WNBA bubble in Bradenton, Fla. The players worked to make sure not only that they had a season but also that everyone watching their season knew: This is your place to support Black women, and women, and equality. Watching Stewie stand in front of everyone before that first game and ask for 26 seconds of silence to remember Breonna Taylor, the Black woman who was that age when she was killed by police in her Louisville apartment, was powerful.
This is just the second time Sports Illustrated has named a group of athletes, not on the same team, as its Athlete of the Year, Yahoo reported.

Today is the last day of Chase's friends visit here. It's been nice getting to spend time with these two cool young women. I had met Jenni during my visit to Guyana about a year and a half ago. This was the first time I met Holleigh. When I was in Guyana she was working in a small village in the jungle. Peace Corp volunteers are incredible people who genuinely care about making a difference in our world.
Heidi started our day off with her Banana-Oatmeal pancakes drizzled in pure maple syrup for breakfast. What a treat! Eventually we got ourselves motivated to get out of the house. We ended up at Parque Paraiso and just walked around enjoying the activity in the park.
There was a small group of young men break dancing for the crowd sitting at the tables in the snack area. These men brought their boom box, turned it up, and started flipping, gyrating, and spinning right on the park lawn. It was quite a visual contrast because within 15 feet behind them was an elderly man sitting on a chair selling brightly colored balloons, and making soap bubbles float through the air for the kids. I like this park because it is a gathering place of all types of people doing many different things.
We headed into El Centro to grab lunch at one of the best sandwich places in the city, San Duche Cafe on Baltazara de Calderon (two blocks after the point Simon Bolivar splits into Simon Bolivar and Baltazara de Calderon). The food is all made fresh; the meats melt in your mouth, and the flavors are intense. We saw our friend Greg here today (he and Annette introduced us to this place) playing in a card tournament. From Greg's big grin when the tournament was over, I think he came out on top.
And hence is our life in Cuenca. The city is getting smaller as we get to know it better, and it is always fun to run into people we know here. After lunch there was one last trip made to San Francisco market for Holleigh and Jenni to grab souvenirs for family at home. When we arrived home we all enjoyed Sangria…white wine, fresh strawberries and peaches, that Holleigh prep'd last night.
It was our farewell drink as Jenni and Holleigh headed off on their new adventures. It is now four at the Gorishek's…and our adventure continues.


Can a person be held personally liable for a California LLC's franchise tax penalties?
If the LLC was properly formed, you cannot be held personally liable. However, you could be personally liable if there are "alter ego" issues regarding your LLC. As a practical matter, it's unlikely the FTB would go after you. The LLC will eventually be suspended for nonpayment of taxes, which will have the same effect as a dissolution.


Abstract: Geological risk evaluation reveals the uncertainty of converting an anticipated resource potential in an identifi ed exploration target into an economic petroleum accumulation prior to drilling. Providing consistent and unbiased estimates of geological risk for all exploration targets in an area of interest is essential in risk evaluation. This paper discusses the potential use of an object-based stochastic procedure for geological risk evaluation at the play level. The object-based model of SuperSD, as a data integration tool, can integrate geological information of petroleum system elements that control occurrences of petroleum pools with the spatial correlation characteristics of the discoveries in a play. Other information, such as the estimated total play potential and size characteristics, from conventional resource assessments can be also incorporated into the model as geological constraints. The uncertainty associated with the data and domain knowledge in the predicted pool locations is expressed as a probability map, representing the geological exploration risk of the play. By incorporating all available information and checking the consistency of models with geological constraints, the object-based model improves predictions of petroleum occurrences, thus enhancing the associated risk evaluation. The proposed method was applied to the fractured petroleum play of the western Qaidam Basin in northwestern China in order to illustrate the use of the object-based method for risk evaluation.

Buy Term and Invest the Rest – A Failed Theory.
Are you worried about your existing term life insurance policy that may be expiring without good options?
Maybe you still need this coverage for your family or business but the premiums will be much higher for a new policy? You're older and your health may not be the same, or both. If you are unable to change your term policy into something more permanent and you are concerned about where you go from here, you're not alone. Millions of people in their 50's and 60's still need and want coverage but they feel trapped.
Because we don't know how life will play out, it is impossible to "time" the future point when our need for life insurance coverage goes away, if that ever really happens. Level term life insurance was typically guaranteed for 20 and 30 years. When you bought the policy, you were probably told that term insurance was your best option.
You were likely told you wouldn't need coverage once your kids were grown and on their own. Over these past 25 years, term life insurance has been oversold, leading to a coverage crisis for those needing protection for the rest of their lives.
This theory was known as "buy term and invest the difference" or "buy term and invest the rest" and it gained credibility from non-insurance professionals like Dave Ramsey, Suzy Orman and thousands of untrained insurance agents who promoted it. Ramsey and Orman, still to this day, recommend term insurance for everyone. Unfortunately for many, it is nothing more than theory.
Nobody invested the difference. The result is that you end up in the worst possible position, without coverage or "the accumulated difference". Life insurance is a lifetime need. Ask anyone over 50.
Don't be fooled: "Buy term and invest the difference" was a failed theory because nobody invested the difference. Life insurance is a lifetime need. Ask anyone over 50 and they will tell you that they feel completely different at 50 than they did at 35 about leaving insurance proceeds to their family.

Mrozy – dawna gromada, czyli najmniejsza jednostka podziału terytorialnego Polskiej Rzeczypospolitej Ludowej w latach 1954–1972.

Gromady, z gromadzkimi radami narodowymi (GRN) jako organami władzy najniższego stopnia na wsi, funkcjonowały od reformy reorganizującej administrację wiejską przeprowadzonej jesienią 1954 do momentu ich zniesienia z dniem 1 stycznia 1973, tym samym wypierając organizację gminną w latach 1954–1972.

Gromadę Mrozy z siedzibą GRN w Mrozach (wówczas wsi) utworzono – jako jedną z 8759 gromad na obszarze Polski – w powiecie mińskim w woj. warszawskim, na mocy uchwały nr VI/10/7/54 WRN w Warszawie z dnia 5 października 1954. W skład jednostki weszły obszary dotychczasowych gromad Gójszcz, Kruki, Mrozy, Rudka, Wola Kałuska i Wola-Paprotnia oraz kolonie Mrozy Południowe "A", Mrozy Południowe "B", Mrozy Południowe "C", Mrozy Południowe "D", Mrozy Południowe "E", Rytwin, Wyżyśle i Tartak z dotychczasowej gromady Wola Rafałowska ze zniesionej gminy Kuflew w tymże powiecie. Dla gromady ustalono 26 członków gromadzkiej rady narodowej.

31 grudnia 1961 do gromady Mrozy włączono obszar zniesionej gromady Wola Rafałowska w tymże powiecie.

1 stycznia 1969 do gromady Mrozy włączono obszar zniesionej gromady Grodzisk w tymże powiecie.

Gromada przetrwała do końca 1972 roku, czyli do kolejnej reformy gminnej. 1 stycznia 1973 w powiecie mińskim utworzono gminę Mrozy.

One Surfer's Bright Idea
Night surfing at a beach near you
By Greg Bledsoe	• Published at 6:14 pm on August 6, 2010
NBCSanDiego
Bill Stewart describes himself as an "inventive, artist's, creative guy." Over the past 40 years he says he's shaped more than 30,000 surfboards, but nothing like his most recent.
"This is the weirdest, craziest most difficult thing I think I've ever built," says Stewart, "It's over 100 hours at least."
The San Clemente shaper's latest innovation is called Stewart's Night Stalker, and the title alone kind of gives it away.
Aztecs 3 hours ago
"The lights are so bright," he describes, "It lights up the ocean like you wouldn't believe."
The 6'4" epoxy board features two waterproof headlights mounted over the board's transparent nose.
"So, you can tip the headlights down and light the ocean floor as you're paddling out."
A wire runs from the lights to two rechargeable batteries built into the board. He carved out space in the fins, inserting LED lights into each one. It's all waterproof, and the visual effect, Stewart describes as, "Beautiful. It's stunning."
The board is on display in Stewart's San Clemente surf shop, and one of the most common questions from customers is 'why'.
The answer is, it's part of a contest being put on by Billabong challenging about two dozen shapers to come up with the most unique design. The catch is, the board has to be ride-able. Stewart's has already been tested, and successfully ridden. He'll publicly reveal the board Saturday, August 7th from nine to midnight at the San Clemente Pier.
Stewart says his board, and the rest of the designs in the contest will be auctioned off the following weekend at the ASR convention in San Diego with the proceeds going to charity.
As for the future of the Night Stalker design, Stewart admits, "A lot of it's for photography purposes." He also says the current design is not cost effective enough to mass produce. The headlights alone cost him $600. Still, he says he'd like to keep working on the design to find a simpler, less costly way to produce the boards.
"We're not getting more surf spots. So, this might be a solution to people having fun surfing at weird hours," he says, "I don't know where all this is going, but it definitely spurs your thoughts."


The Twitter app for BlackBerry smartphones has been updated to version 3.2 today, bringing with it expanded tweets and a number of new ways to find new people to follow.
The tweet details screen has been improved to show a small preview of the link or media embedded in the tweet. The feature will contain a headline and summary of the text, if applicable, as well as some information on the publisher and the author. "The information you need presented to you for quick on-the-go reading," as the BlackBerry blog so eloquently puts it.
It's a feature we've seen rolled out on other platforms, but it's nice all the same to finally see it implemented for BlackBerry users too.
The "Find Friends" button is also a new addition on the home screen, allowing users to quickly find new followers that they know once they're registered with a new account. If you've been hanging around on Twitter for a while now though – as most of us have – you'll instead be able to see which of your BlackBerry contacts joined Twitter recently using the same button located on their profile page.
"I love this feature, because friends of mine are constantly joining Twitter – and this lets me find them effortlessly," according to the author of the blog post.
Last but not least is the quick follow button, which allows you to instantly track a user from a fellow Twitter user's following list. In practical terms, this means you no longer have to click through to their individual profile page every time you want to add a new follower. Bliss.
The BlackBerry blog says the app "may take up to 24 hours to appear in BlackBerry App World." Keep your eyes peeled, folks.


As with all businesses, one of the key pieces of the process is the relationship that you build with your client. So, here at 4site, before we get to work on providing any of your signage or marketing services, we pride ourselves on getting to know you first.
In the same way that you can't put a label onto a tin until you know what's inside it, we ensure that we get to know you before we create your marketing solutions that the world will see. Any business can provide the highest spec designs or use the most exquisite materials, but their level of success is only as deep as their understanding of their clients' needs and mission.
When Countryside Properties commissioned 4site for our help and expertise with the signage for their Marham Park development, it was due to the relationship that we had already forged with them. As we had successfully worked with Zeta before we were confident that their creativity with lighting would make them our perfect partner on creating a solution here.
The importance of the branding and marketing with this particular development was paramount, as it was a brand new village-style development with new leisure facilities, allotments as well as green open spaces available to their residents.
It is a significant development with 65 acres of parkland and open space being created with 1,000 new homes being constructed, so well-branded signage sharing the whole ethos definitely needs to be noticed on a site of this size.
At 4site, we totally understand that when you're launching something new, those first few seconds when people meet your brand are more important than ever. You want to create resonance and generate interest, whilst invoking confidence in the quality of your product.
Countryside Properties were well aware of this when they contacted us to create the high-spec signage for Marham Park. The slight challenge in this instance was that due to being in such an early stage of the development, the site had no on-grid connections to power any lighting.
Countryside Properties were keen to let visitors know that the development was now open and used the wayfinding illuminated signage, produced and installed by 4site to direct visitors to the marketing suite and showhomes.
Shall we share how we got on?
The brief that Countryside Properties provided the 4site team with was to create totems at both entrances to the site, as well as the wayfinding signage within the development to facilitate an easy route to the marketing suite.
With an absence of on-site power, a creative solution was going to be needed as the cost of digging and running cables to the signs would have cost tens of thousands of pounds – clearly not the best solution in this case!
But we also knew that a purely solar powered solution wasn't the answer either. This development was going to need a longer-term lighting provision and we'd only had limited success with solar-powered systems in the past. With this in mind, our director Paul Brand quickly got to work researching other methods of providing the power needed to the totems and signage.
After consulting with various companies – Zeta Lighting Specialists impressed Paul with a previous lighting project they'd successfully powered using a combination of their Solar Signage Kit and a Light Guide Panel.
This 'powerful combo' of using Zeta's patented Energy Management System (PS800 Controller) alongside the discreet aluminium backed PV Solar Panels would ensure that the signage was fully illuminated from dusk to dawn. The clever system regulates the amount of power consumed by the LED lights during the night but augments the amount of power going to the long-life batteries during the day.
Creating two 2.5m x 5m totems to be located at the main entrance to attract passers-by, their size would definitely let the local world know that the site was well and truly open. Three further totems were created of 2m x 4m within the development to help guide visitors to the marketing suite, plus a flint wall of 5m x 4m too.
The LGP's were bespoke creations for each sign – they were designed to provide shadow-free, uniform light distribution with each acrylic light unit having its own unique grid pattern etched into it.
As you can see, the result of 4site and Zeta's creative monolithic signs being accompanied by flagpoles proudly flying the Countryside Properties flags is impressive. You'd have no idea that the quality of lighting at this scale is off-grid – another classic example of how we can help you make a statement around the clock. Get in contact with our team today and see if we can help to create illuminated signage for your development.

Fall Sports | WOMEN'S SOCCER: Bulldogs fall to Columbia in final home game
Bill Gallagher
WOMEN'S SOCCER: Bulldogs fall to Columbia in final home game
Bill Gallagher	2:18 am, Oct 29, 2018
Courtesy of Steve Musco
The Yale women's soccer team could not claim a win in its final home game of the year as the Bulldogs fell 2–0 against Columbia on Senior Day for the Class of 2019.
Now, head coach Rudy Meredith and his team will look to refocus in their final game against Brown next weekend.
Yale (7–8–1, 1–5–0 Ivy) entered this weekend still licking its wounds from the shock home 2–0 defeat to Sacred Heart on Wednesday. Nevertheless, the team gave its senior players a worthy send off prior to the beginning of the game. Seniors Michelle Alozie '19, Keri Cavallo '19, Sofia Griff '19, Maritza Grillo '19, Mackenzie Marsh '19, Fallon Sheridan '19, Brittany Simpson '19 and Fran Steele '19 were all honored on the pitch with their families. Unfortunately for the Elis, all niceties ended there.
On a wet and windy afternoon, the Bulldogs fell behind early to Columbia (8–6–1, 4–2–0 Ivy). Jessica Schildkraut scored the opening goal of the game after controlling a precise cross whipped in from the flanks. Although the Elis contained the Lions for the rest of the first half, the Yale defense lapsed once again in the second, cut open by a beautiful through ball finished off by Amaris Hemmings.
"For our seniors, it was a nice day," Meredith said. "We did a really nice pregame ceremony for them. The only disappointing thing was the game. We gave the ball away too often, and we didn't get into a rhythm."
Columbia dominated Yale statistically. The Lions outshot the Bulldogs 15–8 with six shots on target to two, respectively. The Bulldogs' offensive difficulties carried over into this game. Strikers Ciara Ostrander '21 and Aerial Chavarin '20 delivered the only shots on goal. Linchpin midfielder Noelle Higginson '20 had two shots on goal, but the Elis' offense as a whole failed to challenge Columbia's senior goalkeepers, Marie Matthews and Sophie Whitehouse.
Meanwhile, Grillo played a significant role in the Elis' defense for the 28 minutes she was on the pitch. The outgoing senior goalkeeper made four crucial saves during a game where the slippery conditions made it challenging to maintain control of the ball. Columbia then laid siege on Grillo's replacement, Alyssa Fagel '20 in the second half. But despite taking nine shots, the Lions could only put one more by the Elis.
Saturday's loss marked Yale's fourth consecutive home defeat of the year. The Bulldogs have not won at Reese Stadium for over a month — not since a 2–1 win against Robert Morris. The team that had not lost a single game in New Haven last season must look to recapture that streak in next year's campaign.
In the coming week, the Elis will travel to Providence for a game against Brown. While the fixture does not have the same title implications as that of the top-of-the-table clash between Princeton and Penn, Yale could still finish the season with a .500 overall record. The Bulldogs could also leapfrog the Bears into sixth place.
"With only one game left, the expectation is that everyone will give their best effort because there will be plenty of time to rest after we are done," Fagel said. "You always want to end the season on a high note. This has been a tough season, both physically and mentally."
The game against Brown is slated for Saturday Nov. 3 at 7 p.m.

Another Statutory Notice Saga
Activists condemn 'Another Pine Gap'


Impact analysis of climate change on the hygrothermal performance of the Swedish building stock, including residential and non-residential buildings is performed. The work develops the existing models and methods further to evaluate different retrofitting measures. Future conditions and risks for buildings are assessed with the help of numerical simulations using several climate scenarios. Effectiveness of the retrofitting measures are evaluated by assessing their moisture performance, potential for energy saving, potential for CO2 mitigation and economic feasibility. The suitable retrofitting measures should be robust enough against climate change and its extreme conditions. This project will result in a methodology for impact assessment of climate change while different climate uncertainties and retrofitting measures are considered for a building stock. The work will identify the key measures and technologies that can most effectively cope with future climate. This work addresses one of the most important issues in the building sector, namely how to reduce energy consumption and how to retrofit buildings while facing the uncertain future climate. Using Sweden as an example, the developed methodology and the obtained results are expected to encourage other countries for the investments in the building sector in order to overcome the climate change related challenges, and to transform the building sector in a more sustainable direction.


We started out from Banff on July 22nd and decided to head to the front ranges of the Rockies as the weather was not looking great, usually the start of the Rockies and foothills have better weather than the interior mountains. After a short van ride to Yamnuska parking lot, we started up into the forest and got to see many many flowers, some elk and the great views up towards the shoulder of Yamnuska (also known as "onigiri-yama" for some Japanese). We had a little sunshine, then some light rain/hail, then thundershowers and then clear again! Pretty much all weather! We were rewarded though with great views of the Bow Valley and then had time to hike on the Flowing water trail where we saw a beaver home, lots of birds and even more wildflowers! It was a great day despite the on/off rain!

Up For Debate: The 5 Best Football Players Ever
Posted on July 11, 2008. Filed under: Sports |
Who are the 5 best football players of all-time? There have been so many greats, the list is nearly impossible to narrow down. I took a stab at it, and after hours of compiling stats and racking my brain, I came up with this list.
5:JOHN ELWAY/Denver Broncos QB-John Elway, in my opinion is the greatest quarterback to ever play (with Favre being a close second). If God ever created a human perfect for the position, Elway was it. He had the size, the cannon arm, the speed, and the intangibles. He is second only to Favre on the all-time wins list and he has more 4th quarter comebacks than anyone. He won 2 Super Bowls and retired a champion, but I think the true sign of Elway's greatness was how he carried the earlier Bronco teams. He lost 3 Super Bowls, but Elway himself was the Broncos offense. He won an MVP in '87 but he was always overshadowed by Joe Montana, obviously because Montana was surrounded by Hall of Fame offensive players. Elway was not a system QB, and could have played for any team and made it a winner. He didn't need all day to throw because he could buy more time with his legs.
4:DON HUTSON/Green Bay Packers WR, DB, K-There are many people that will argue for Jerry Rice, but I believe that Don Hutson was the most dominant receiver the game has ever seen. Rice has all of the career marks, and I do think is a very close second, but Hutson dominated his era like no one else. Rice had the advantage of playing in more of a pass friendly era. Hutsonamassed 99 career TD catches, which was a record that stood for an amazing 44 years. Twice, in '41 and'42, he was named the league's MVP, and in 1941 he became the first receiver to catch more than 50 passes in a season The next season he became the first with over 1,000 receiving yards in a season. In all, Hutson caught 488 passes for 7,991 yards. He rushed for three touchdowns and returned three interceptions for touchdowns for a career total of 105. Hutson led the NFL in receptions eight times in his 11 seasons, including five consecutive times (1941-1945). He led the NFL in receiving yards seven times, including four straight times from 1941-44. He led the NFL in scoring five times (1941-45). Hutson still holds the highest career average TDspergame(0.85) for a wide receiver. He is credited with creating many of the routes receivers use today. He was also a kicker and a DB. He had 30 interceptions over the final six years of his career. In 43' he had 8 picks in 10 games. He also kicked 172 xtra points and 7 field goals. Hutson still holds the following records: Most seasons leading league in pass receptions (8), Most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receptions (5), Most seasons leading league in pass receiving yards gained (7), Most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receiving yards gained (4), Most seasons leading league in pass receiving touchdowns (9), Most consecutive seasons leading league in pass receiving touchdowns (5), Most seasons leading league in scoring (5), and Most consecutive seasons leading league in scoring (5).
3:LAWRENCE TAYLOR/New York Giants LB-No defensive player has ever changed the game of football like LT did. As an outside linebacker/pass rusher, he reaped havoc on offenses in the '80's and early 90's. Players like Shawn Merriman should personally thank LT for basically creating his position. Taylor was bigger and faster than anyone else and blocking schemes and offenses had to adjust to him. He is single handily responsible for the evolution of the big and agile left tackle of today's game. Freaks like Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace began to surface because of the impact LT had on a QBs blindside. (check out the book, The Blind Sideby Michael Lewis for a detailed description of this evolution. It is an amazing read) As a rookie, Taylor compiled 133 tackles and 9.5 sacks. He won the defensive MVP, which is incredible for a first year player. Taylor recorded 20.5 sacks in 1986 and became one of only three defensive players two win the NFL MVP. He was a unanimous choice. The Giants won the Super Bowl that year and Taylor got another ring in 1990. He won the defensive MVP a record 3 times. Also, on a funny side note, I think that LT is the best video game football player ever. I might have some people disagree but in the original TecmoBowl, LT was outrageous. He could get to the QB in no time and, if the QB miraculously got a pass off, he could catch up with the ball down field and intercept it. He could also block every kick that the Giants opponent attempted making him Tecmo Bowls most devastating player.
2:JIM BROWN/Cleveland Browns RB- Perhaps the most physically dominant player ever. Brown was as big as the defensive ends of the time, but he was the fastest man in football. He had an amazing college career at Syracuse and many people thought that he was robbed of the Heisman Trophy. In his last college regular season game he rushed for 197 yards, scored six touchdowns and kicked seven extra points for 43 points. Then in the Cotton Bowl, he rushed for 132 yards, scored three touchdowns and kicked three extra points. He went on to play for the Cleveland Browns. He finished with 12,312 yards rushing and 126 TD's (both were records at the time). He also had 262 catches for 2,499 yards. He put up these numbers in only 9 seasons in which four only had 12 games and five had 14. He is the only NFL player in history to average more than 100 yards rushing per game and he has the highest per carry average for a career with 5.2 yards per carry. He won the MVP in 57, 58, and 65 and retired after the 65 season at only 29 while still in his prime. Imagine his numbers if he had played for 5 more years. He won an NFL title in '64. On a side note, he is widely considered the greatest Lacrosse player ever.
1:SAMMY BAUGH/Washington Redskins QB,DB,P-In my opinion, he is the best and most versatile player in the history of football. He was a stand-out quarterback, defensive back, and punter. During a time when the forward pass was a novelty, Baugh made it efficient. In 1945, he completed 70.33 percent of his passes which is one of the best marks ever. He led the league in completion percentage seven times. When he retired he held 13 NFL records. Baugh still holds the NFL punting record for highest average in a career (45.1 yards) and has the best (51.4 in 1940) and third best (48.7 in 1941) season marks. He was the first player in league history to intercept four passes in a game and is the only player to lead the league in passing, punting and interceptions in the same season. That's like rolling Brett Favre, Ray Guy and Ronnie Lott up into the same player. Baugh also led the league in punting from 1940 through 1943. In that 1943 season he led the league in passing and punting and picked off an astonishing 11 passes. In 1942, Baughand the Redskins won the East Conference with a 10-1 record. During the same season the Bears went 11-0 and outscored their opponents 376-84. In the 1942 Championship game, Baughthrew a touchdown pass and kept the Bears in their own territory with some strong punts, including an 85-yard quick kick, and Washington won 14-6. This is considered one of the biggest upsets in league history. He once intercepted 4 passes and threw 4 TD passes in the same game. He was, quite simply, always the best player on the field, and he was on the field the entire game.
The Best of the Rest:
JIM THORPE/ATH- Played pro football before it was called the NFL. One of the greatest athletes ever, he also played pro baseball and won multiple gold medals in track and field.
BRETT FAVRE/QB-He has all of the physical skills of Elway and is the most durable QB ever. He also was forced to carry the offensive load for most of his career. I think Elway was slightly better in the clutch so he gets the edge on my list of best ever QBs.
JERRY RICE/WR-Many consider him the greatest receiver ever, although I have him second behind Hutson. He holds every major receiving record and shined in the playoffs. He has more TDs than any other player in the history of football. Helped get two QBs into the Hall of Fame (Montana and Young).
ANTHONY MUNOZ/T- One of the best O linemen ever, he was elected an All Pro 11 straight years.
JONATHAN OGDEN/T- Might have been the best athlete in the league when he played, which is often overlooked because he was a lineman.
DICK BUTKUS/LB- He was the most dominant defensive player of his era. Even though he was never on any great teams, opposing players feared playing against him.
DEACON JONES and REGGIE WHITE/DE- I listed these two together because they were so similar. Both were big and powerful pass rushers who also could beat you with speed. Supposedly Jones would be the all-time sack leader if they kept up with that stat during his career. Imagine what White would have done if he were allowed to use the head slap.
Barry Sanders
OTTO GRAHAM/QB-Graham played in 6 seasons in the NFL and he took his team to the championship game every year. They won 3 of those championships.
BARRY SANDERS/RB-Probably the greatest college running back ever. He rushed for 2,628 yards his junior season. If touch or flag football was a profession, he would be the best ever. He could juke you in a phone booth.
JOHNNY UNITAS/QB- He was the Peyton Manning of his day, calling his own plays and audibles. Most quarterbacks of his era did the same, but none with the same success. He was the first player to pass for 40,000 yards despite shorter seasons. He threw a TD pass in an amazing 47 straight games, a record that will probably never fall.
BART STARR/ QB-He QBed the Packers to 5 NFL titles and won the first 2 Super Bowl MVPs. He had a 104.8 playoff rating and a 9-1 post season record.
RANDY MOSS/ WR-He might be a one trick pony at receiver, but it's an awfully good trick. The deep threat he brings to the offensive side of he ball has been responsible for the two highest scoring offenses in NFL history.
That is my list. I'm sure there will be countless arguments over this one. Let the debating begin!
