CHRIS SALVATORE: HOLLYWOOD'S PUMPKIN BUTT
Chris Salvatore may be a Hollywood newcomer but he doesn't hold back when it comes to speaking about gay rights issues or his film and music career.
Chris makes his film debut as the main love interest, Zack, in Glenn Gaylord's new film Eating Out: All You Can Eat. He was cast as one of the lead roles of the film just two weeks after moving to Los Angeles—certainly an aspiring actor's dream come true!
When it comes to making the film, the experience was more personal. The out gay actor is grateful to be a part of a successful franchise that encourages people to be themselves.
Chris explains, "Some people may think being an openly gay actor may limit one's success, but I think times are changing and I am happy and proud to be myself."
The film doesn't try to break barriers or change one's point of view. Instead, the film is just filled with silly and raunchy humor that aims to please its audience.
"Even though the movie is mostly a sex comedy, the message and the lessons that the characters learn are truly what makes the film unique. It really does make you feel all warm and fuzzy."
Chris would like to play more romantic comedy roles, straight or gay, and admits, "I would also love to play a role in a scary movie. Scary movies are my favorite."
He studied at the prestigious New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts where he discovered his passion for film and theater. He explains how singing drew the bridge to acting:
"I used to sing in the choir in elementary school and we would stand up and sing while the stage crew swapped out the scenery in-between scenes during the school plays. The plays were always musicals so one year I decided to try out for a part. The first play I performed in was Bye, Bye Birdie and ever since then I've been in love with both singing and acting."
Chris has been singing since he was just a toddler and writing music since the age of 15. He took piano lessons as a child and even recalls putting on shows with his sister in the living room for their parents.
"I remember one time we did The Phantom of The Opera and we made a chandelier out of paper. At the end, it crashed down on top of us with confetti raining down. We were clever little kids!"
In addition to his role in Eating Out, Chris also contributes a song to the soundtrack—a song with an interesting title.
"I wrote a song a few months ago called 'Pumpkin Butt.' It was a song about what an ex-boyfriend used to call me. Don't worry; it wasn't supposed to be a literal nickname," Chris quickly adds. "I showed the song to the director Glenn Gaylord. I thought it would work perfect in the movie. He loved it and helped me rewrite some of the lyrics to fit the movie plot. It is being used as the end credits song. It will be available on iTunes soon! I am really happy with how it turned out."
So what's next for this busy hybrid of talent? Chris is currently working on his second album, which he plans to release in early 2010. His film Eating Out: All You Can Eat is due to release in theaters in New York City and San Francisco on October 9 and in Los Angeles on October 16. Be sure to check it out!

CHRIS SALVATORE MAKES HIS FILM DEBUT IN EATING OUT: ALL YOU CAN EAT
New upcoming actor Chris Salvatore is hitting the big screen in the side-splitting gay romantic comedy Eating Out: All You Can Eat, the third installment of the successful Eating Out franchise, due to release in theaters in October.
Chris, 24, of Philadelphia, PA, plays the leading interest, Zack, who gets the attention of Tiffani's bosom buddy Casey, who'll do anything to get close to him. Zack is lured by a fake online profile created by Tiffani and Casey, using an image of Tiffani's ex-boyfriend Ryan. To Casey's dismay, Zack meets the real Ryan and his dirty plot backfires right in front of him, forcing Casey to set things right.
"I think Zack's the most real character in the movie," explains Chris. "He isn't really the jokey one in the film. He's gentle, gullible, and mysterious but, at the same time, he has this sex appeal about him that grabs the attention of the 'new to town' Casey. One thing that stood out the most to me was that Zack really is the opposite of the gay stereotype—the stereotype that ignorant people believe in anyway. You know, here is this nice guy—charming, passionate about helping the community, and passionate about finding love—whose sense of normalcy really mixes nicely with the crazy plot and steamy sexcapades."
As an openly gay performer, Chris believes that the film, which includes a cast of almost entirely out gay actors, truly reflects the progress of America and sheds light on the gay stereotypes, discrimination, and bullying.
"It's important to be a part of a film knowing that it's okay to be yourself and to let people know who you are and what you stand for. Everyone, the cast and the crew, was incredibly nice and we're all a part of something that has the opportunity to help the gay community."
The candid actor is also a talented singer-songwriter, having released his debut album After All Is Said And Done in 2008 in which his song "Done To Me" was featured on MTV's Paris Hilton's My New BFF. Chris also contributes a song to the Eating Out soundtrack, which is being used as the end credits song.
"The message of the film is really inspiring," admits Chris. "Even though the movie is mostly a sex comedy, the message and the lessons that the characters learn are truly what makes the film unique. It really does make you feel all warm and fuzzy."
The film Eating Out: All You Can Eat will open in New York City at the Quad on October 9 and in Los Angeles and San Francisco on October 16.

AMY KUNEY: A DEEP JOURNEY FROM A BIRD'S EYE VIEW
Singer Amy Kuney, 24, has experienced an incredible journey at any early age. At age 13, her family moved from Oklahoma to Honduras to live as missionaries for six years. For a young teenager, the experience was upsetting, having nothing but what she could fit into her suitcase and living an atypical life in a culture greatly affected by poverty. At age 17, Amy and her friends were kidnapped by a group of rebels while on a Guatamala sightseeing trip; eventually, they were let go. That life-changing experience forced her to concentrate on her songwriting efforts, and it has paid off tremendously.
Amy has since kept busy in her music career, signing with record label Spin Move Records and releasing her debut album Bird's Eye View in August 2008 (also available on iTunes). Her song "All Downhill From Here" has been featured on the Season 5 finale of One Tree Hill and her song "So Help Me God" has aired on the NBC daytime soap opera Passions.
Her rich, soulful voice has been compared to artists Sarah McLachlan and Fiona Apple and her music is blended with upbeat and mellow tunes—most comparable to indie pop. This talented singer also composes her own lyrics and plays the piano and guitar. She has opened for singers Kate Voegele, Gavin Rossdale, and Damien Rice and groups The Veronicas and The Rescues—not too shabby for someone who got "the worst grade in college in voice class." Though, Amy does have a bad singing habit, revealing that she forces her voice without warming up. "I get impatient and warming up takes time!"
This newcomer has even dabbled with acting, playing a folk singer and performing her songs in two episodes of Gilmore Girls. When asked if she would like to take on more acting roles, Amy replies, "I'm not sure. I've thought about it, but right now music is my first priority and takes up all of my time."
Amy has also set the trend for YouTube covers, posting cover songs by Sara Bareilles, OneRepublic, Coldplay, Leona Lewis, and many more. So how does she feel about aspiring musicians covering her songs? "I'm so flattered with fans [that] make YouTube videos of my songs. It's so crazy to me to think that people actually know and memorize my songs enough to cover them."
Most recently, Amy celebrated her birthday on August 6th—on tour! "I actually played a show on my birthday. Ha. I played at the OC Fair, but it was great. Some of my fans brought me presents, balloons and flowers." Amy also got to indulge in her latest obsession, scoring tickets to see her favorite singer Keane in Oregon and getting the band's DVDs for her birthday.
She's still getting accustomed to her lifestyle in the music industry, stating, "I think the hardest part is realizing how dishonest and 'sleazy' people can get when money comes into the picture. I've heard about it, and to actually see it is astounding and sad."
Fortunately, fame hasn't gotten to Amy's head. "I'd like to be more fashionable. I lived in a third world country for six years and missed out on a lot. I'm still catching up and it shows!"
Currently, Amy has been busy on the road touring and performing at high schools, co-writing, and collaborating with new music producers. Eventually, she would like to take on producing. "I've done some co-producing lately and I really enjoy it, so absolutely! I can see that in my future."
Amy's schedule has been both exciting and hectic but after a long, demanding day, she enjoys watching Adult Swim and cleaning her laptop desk as a way to unwind—and she certainly deserves it!

SCOTT HERMAN DEBUTS AS RUNWAY MODEL AT NEW YORK FASHION WEEK
Model/actor/fitness trainer Scott Herman makes his first appearance on the catwalk of New York Fashion Week for the Malan Breton Collection.
Scott is all too familiar with posing for the camera, having modeled for Undergear and Baskit Underwear and even regularly appearing in Men's Health and Cosmopolitan magazines. Now, Scott can add runway model to his ever-growing resume.
On September 14, 2009, Scott made his runway debut at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan for Malan Breton's Spring 2010 Fashion Show, where the designer revealed his new menswear line for his collection.
"It was very exciting because I was always told I was too short—guess not!" exclaims Scott.
But even the most thrilling experience can have its misfortune. When asked if Scott encountered any mishaps before the show, Scott explains, "Yes, the zipper on my left boot would not work! I could zip it up, but the teeth were not connecting so I pulled the zipper out, used a big pair of scissors as if they were pliers, clamped the zipper a bit, put it back on and then I was ready to go. I guess I have some fashion skills after all!"
Malan's exquisite show was out of the ordinary, which included a 45-piece orchestra—the Chelsea Symphony—and three ballerinas in addition to his high-end models.
"I liked the orchestra the best," reveals Scott. "They were absolutely amazing. Beautiful music really sets the mood for the kind of elegance Malan's fashion brings."
And what does Scott think of Malan's new menswear line?
"I absolutely love it. The suit fit me perfectly and outlined my athletic features—not to mention that red is my favorite color!"
Fortunately for Scott, he can add that chic men's suit to his collection because not only did he get to wear it, he also got to keep it.
"The world will see me looking sharp and when they ask who I'm wearing, I'll have two words: Malan Breton."
For more information on Scott Herman, please visit his fitness website at www.ScottHermanFitness.com or his YouTube fitness channel at www.youtube.com/user/ScottHermanFitness.

MALAN BRETON'S FASHION SHOW GOES OFF WITHOUT A HITCH
Designer Malan Breton has transformed New York Fashion Week with his triumphant fashion show at the Metropolitan Pavilion in Manhattan.
Malan Breton with models Scott Herman and Ronnie Kroell
This show was not like any other—Malan clearly set the bar for Fashion Week. The Chelsea Symphony Orchestra enhanced the traditional fashion show ambiance, creating a soft and elegant semblance of unity as ballerinas and models graced the runway.
"It was exciting and magical this season because the show embodied a part of my life I have not really been able to share with the world," explains Malan. "I guess in art there is always an inspiration an element that you draw from—this was the element."
Malan's spring collection introduced his new menswear line, revealing gorgeous suits embellished with brocade. The fabrics were carefully chosen to be durable and luxurious at the same time, much of which was done in silk and wool—two of the most functional fibers. Every detail down to the silk linings were carefully thought out and researched over a four-year process.
Model Scott Herman at Fashion Week
With several collections already under his belt, Malan's show went off without a hitch. "I have been doing this for years. It all becomes a routine after the second or third time."
Despite his hectic schedule, Malan did attend a few other shows at Fashion Week, which he describes as "lovely and exciting" as he's always eager to see the new trends and the hottest models walk the shows.
Now that Fashion Week is over, there's one thing he would have liked to have done differently. "I probably would have shown more ready-to-wear in my women's collection. We did not present a lot of it for the show this season."
Regardless, Malan's Spring 2010 collection has been receiving impressive reviews from style magazines and fashion blogs, celebrating Malan at his pure best.
"The reaction to the collection and the new men's line has been astounding, I am incredibly grateful."

Hi, from La Tartine!
I decided to drive by La Tartine to do some research on a company that my best friend Joe, and I are doing. I think that it's going to be a great company. I don't want to say that much yet, but we are going to be thinking up ways to target our audience and make a great living out of this. I'm very excited and so is Joe. Other than that .I need to do some more networking.
I just got a text from my trainer and he said he's coming over to La Tartine, so yay. I won't be alone I've got someone to talk to and laugh with and joke with and kick ass with lol. Yee-haw!

Micro-blogging, weight loss & career
Okay, I feel bad. I've neglected this blog for quite some time now. I would think that with my start of my journey to losing weight that I would document it here, but alas, it did not happen that way. Instead I got sucked into the micro-blogging world that is Twitter and shared my deepest thoughts there under 160 characters. I think blogging has come a long way, and now it's getting old. Micro-blogging is the new thing since, like, 2007? So I seem to think it's useless to write paragraphs in a blog now. Or maybe I just gotten lazy to actually write something. I'm going to be posting some hightlights of what's been going on:
Weight Loss Achievement
I actually did it! I lost over 100lbs and I feel great! From pant size 58 to 36 has been a hard rocking journey for me. I have one of the best trainers at Gold's Gym. His name is JC and he promised me he would help me in any way to become the person I have become. I can honestly say that I've had my doubts in the beginning of 2008, but I've learned to trust JC. He's my best friend. He's also like a brother to me. And my role model.
With the career path I'm in right now I can honestly say how happy I am to be working in media entertainment. It's something I've always knew I wanted to fall into. Sure, when I was a kid I had dreams of working as an actor in Hollywood after crushing on little Drew Barrymore in E.T. The Extra Terrestrial as Gertie. I joined school productions all the way thru high school, after graduating I audtioned at an acting school where I got extra roles in feature films like Spider-Man and Bee Season, and The WB's (now CW?) hit tv show Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4 (Ep This Years' Girl). But by my early 20s I slowly got interested behind the scenes with screenwriting, producing and managing. I don't regret having to change majors in school. I went from pscyhology, english to media communications. All I ever wanted to do was act, so thinking of a major in school was difficult to me. Media Communications came easy to me because 1) it branches out into many ent. careers like news anchors, author, writers, tv, actors, film, etc. 2) Web design is a big part of media, and I love designing. So with joining a film production to collaborating with a few celebrities in Hollywood things got really good for me, and I've gotten many opportunities today. I can't wait what my future holds.
This is all what I can think of now lol.

Jackie Guerra of "Selena" needs YOUR help
i meant to send it to ONTD, which i did later on. They actually helped, but some were assholes in the comments


Last night and today we had continued opportunities to spend time with the people of Igreja Batista Viva and its community in Vila Nova.
The Sunday evening service at IBV is usually the biggest of the week. Last night there was a great turn out for Trip, one of our team members, to share what the Lord is doing in his life these days. The church body responded well to his teaching, and several made renewed commitments to live for the Lord.
Today we got to visit several families in the Campo Novo (near Vila Nova) neighborhood. There are heartbreaking circumstances in many of the homes we visited, but the hope of Christ shines through in the midst of pain and suffering. It is neat to visit some of the same people over the years and watch the children grow and the Lord continue to transform lives.
We saw children doing their homework with the school supplies they were given through Share Christmas. We saw the building where IBV held their first service as well as the first building they first called home. We visited a lady from the church who has gone blind and has been unable to attend services for some time. We spent time in the home of a family whose husband/dad had recently been beaten nearly to death because of money he owed a drug dealer and will now live in a child-like, limited state because of extensive brain damage. We were given Fanta (yum!) by a shop owner and his wife who have resisted coming to the church but are always welcoming to the Pastor when he visits.
And this only begins to scratch the surface of the lives of the dear people with whom we interacted today. There is so much more to be learned about these men, women, and children, who are precious to our Lord and should be precious to us. Each story is unique and each heart needs the love of Christ. It's refreshing to see the ministry in Vila Nova and Campo Novo continue each day. Though the progress seems slow, the Lord is at work in this area. Each time I've gotten to visit, I can see homes in better condition, smiles on more children's faces, and hope in places that seem like they should be hopeless.
A number of people responded to the message preached.
We sorted out donated items to deliver to each church plant.
Pastor Magioli and Dona Maria (called Vozinha or Granny), one of the first believers in the community. Her home is next door to the building where IBV used to meet.
This little guy has been collecting all the different parts for a bicycle so he can build one himself. His dad is the one who is now suffering from extensive brain damage and won't be able to help with his bike project.
"there are heartbreaking circumstances in many of the homes we visited, but the hope of christ shines through in the midst of pain and suffering."
may this be a good reminder to us! love you!
The little boy in the picture above is the son of the man who was beaten. When we met him on Monday, he was very shy and distant. Pastor M. and I spent no more than 15 minutes helping him with this bike tire and when I saw him at church on Wednesday night, he lit up like a Christmas Tree! Amazing what a difference we can make if we are willing to take the time and step out of our comfort zone! One of many experiences I will always remember from this week.


With no NFL teams interested in veteran quarterback Josh McCown, the former Cardinals and Raiders starter has opted to follow a path blazed by men like Brooks Bollinger, J.P. Losman, and Daunte Culpepper.
McCown is heading to the UFL.
He'll play for the Hartford Colonials; the league announced the move today.
McCown, who entered the NFL in 2002, played for Arizona, Detroit, Oakland, and Carolina.
He joins a depth chart that includes Andre Woodson and Ryan Perriloux.
Brad Childress is on the phone.
Andre Woodson was awesome at Kentucky. Not sure why he hasn't caught on yet.
If Andre Woodson's throwing motion was the same in the NFL as it was a Kentucky, he'd have this arm ripped off on his first pass attempt.
Wow, sounds like half of the leagues QB's are former Raiders…very sad. Culpepper, Mccown, JP Losman. In another month JBust will probably join them too. Wow!

Israeli Settlement Jerusalem News Report
New brochure markets East Jerusalem homes to Jewish families
An Israeli peace group has obtained copies of a brochure that right-wing Israeli settlers are spreading to try to populate an area of the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem with Jewish settlers.The brochure claims to have obtained six properties in the Old City which could house 22 Jewish families. This would bring the number of Jews living in the Old City of Jerusalem up to 1,000.
It's unclear from the brochure how the properties were obtained, but often Palestinian properties in Jerusalem have been subjected to the "absentee property law", whereby Palestinians who have been forced out of Jerusalem or who have left for a period of time for school or work lose their right to their property, which is then sold to Jewish organizations to rent to Jewish families.
Many Palestinians have filed complaints and lawsuits against this arbitrary seizure of property for which they hold title, but Israeli courts have upheld the seizure of the property. Although illegal under international law, the practice is permitted under Israeli law.
In this instance, the properties in question are in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City, which is an area where Palestinians who used to live in other parts of the Old City have been forced to crowd into ever-smaller sections of the ancient city.

Microsoft Azure supports several Linux distributions, and Linux is a first-class citizen in the Azure world. When provisioning a new Linux virtual machine we have several methods to authenticate the newly created Linux VM. We can use passwords, SSH Keys, and Azure AD.
Using the traditional password method, especially when using a VM with public IP, will expose the VM to a potential brute-force attack. on the other hand, using SSH Keys for authentication helps to mitigate such risk because it eliminates the use of passwords to log in.

Voting for Joe Neguse
For 12 years I served on the CU Board of Regents, including two years as Chair. Six of those years I had the honor of serving with Joe Neguse, who was a consistent and passionate advocate for the University's faculty, staff and students. Time and time again, Joe fought against the administration's requests for tuition increases, knowing from his own experience how important it was to keep CU affordable.
On the Board of Regents, Joe worked for better health care coverage for students and ensured they could register to vote as part of their enrollment. Joe even went to battle for CU's kitchen workers, demanding they be given meals during their shifts. Whether the stakes were big or small, Joe spoke for those without a voice.
Thus, as a Boulder native, graduate of Fairview High School and CU Law School, I am troubled by the negative campaign run by Mark Williams and his supporters. The contention that Joe is aligned with big business is downright absurd. With his time on the Board of Regents and protecting Colorado consumers as the youngest member of Gov. Hicklooper's cabinet, Joe has literally spent his entire legal career in service to those less fortunate. We need more people like Joe Neguse in Congress, a lot more.

On CD-2 race
Who the Democrats should nominate to replace departing Jared Polis (the primary is June 26) mirrors a larger national question: center-left Sanders supporters or center-right Establishment Democrats in the Hillary mode. Here in the Second District, it's Our Revolution-endorsed Mark Williams versus Democratic National Committee-picked Joe Neguse, respectively.
The differences are substantial. First, Williams' campaign is self-financed, depending on local supporters; Neguse's campaign takes PAC money. Indeed, DNC people have been contacting Sanders candidates, like Williams, telling them that unless they have at least $250,000 to throw at the election, they should quit. Generally, Williams is a candidate of the people; Neguse, of the DNC and its wealthy sponsors. Neguse, incidentally, is a corporate lawyer, exactly what we don't need more of in Congress.
Consider also how the two types relate to the 1 Percent. Like Hillary Clinton herself (and as documented in her well-paid Goldman Sachs speeches), the Establishment Democrats tend to service the super-rich; candidates like Mark Williams are trying to save America from them — Main Street, not Wall Street.
Then there's foreign policy: Establishment Democrats have long been "patriotic" supporters of U.S. empire — we have roughly a thousand military bases on foreign soil and are constantly engaged in neocolonial wars of conquest and occupation. Our military budget is larger than the rest of the world's combined. Yet, I recall scenes of jubilant Obama staffers celebrating after they'd inked a deal to sell vile Saudi Arabia over the next decade ten billion dollars in arms. Or consider "Madame Secretary" Hillary Clinton's role when she essentially supported a 2009 military coup in Honduras that unseated a democratically elected reformist president. There's nothing progressive, enlightened or particularly "American" about running an international plantation; apparently, Mark Williams knows this.
Lastly, in the puerile world of U.S. politics, where male candidates debate who has the larger hands and where anti-war Americans are dismissed as weak and unmanly, Williams is a veteran, a former fighter pilot — the antithesis of a "coward" or a "traitor."
Bernie Sanders won Colorado primaries, and in the Second District, he did particularly well. Let us continue our enlightened ways; let Boulder be Boulder.

Colorado River issues alarming
I thought Joel Dyer's article about the Colorado River (Re: "The new model for saving the Colorado River might just kill it," Dyertimes, May 31, 2018) was well-written and certainly alarming.
But I've become inured to the shock of the power of money to corrupt otherwise intelligent and reasonable people.
I think Dyer also misses the critical point underlying the problems facing the river.
An economic system that demands incessant growth while externalizing most negative costs such as environmental degradation is the real culprit.
That's why I call it Cancer Capitalism, because like its malevolent namesake its constant demand for growth eventually kills its host.
Cancer truly is a stupid and greedy disease, which perfectly describes the mentality of those who run our Cancer Capitalist socioeconomic system.

In the triangle ABC are given the sides AB, AC, and the included angic A=33° 45'. Therefore,
Sum of sides AB+ AC=42 ar. co. 8:37675 : Difference of sides 9C-AB-2
030103 :: Tangsum not included=73° 7' 10'51800

The bearing of the line BC may be gathered from its position with respect to BA, which lies N. 33° 45' W. from B, and BC is 82° 2' to the left of BA ; that is, BC is 115° 47' from the north, or 64° 12' from the south. Now, the distance BC=12 miles, passed by the current in 4 hours, gives 3 milcs to one hour. Consequently the current sets S. 64° 12' W. or nearly WSW S. at the rate of 3 miles an hour.
From the consideration of this example it is shewn, that a ship under way in a current will, at the end of any given time, be found at the same place, as if she had been in still water, after describing like courses and distances, together with another course and distance answering to the direction and velocity of the current. For the ship, under the action of the current, arrives at the same place C, as if she had been in still water, by sailing through AB and BC; and it is evidently of no importance, in this case,
provided the time continues unaltered, whicdier AB be made good on a single course, or on a number of courses.
7. A sloop is bound from the main land of Africa to an island bearing WbN. distant 22 leagues, a current setting NNW. 2 miles an hour. What is the course to arrive at the island in the shortest time, supposing the sloop to sail at the rate of 6 knots an hour ; and likewise what time will she take ?
Construct the horizon with its meridian and paraliel of latitude. Draw AC=22 leagues =66 miles WbN. and draw AG NNW. Upon AG set off AK=25 miles, or any multiple of 2 miles ; and from K, with KD=60 miles, or a like multiple of 6 miles, describe an arc cutting AC, prolonged if necessary, in D. Join KD. From C draw CB parallel to KA, and from A draw AB parallel to KD and meeting CB in B.
The angle SAB is the course, and AB the distance of the run corresponding with the time. But if the velocity of the vessel be not greater than that of the current, that is, if KD be not greater than KA, the arc will not intersect AC, and it will be impossible for her to reach the island.
Computation. The sloop will arrive in the shortest time at the island by sailing in a right line. And, by the remark on the sixth example, her situation at the end of the time will be the same, as if she had described her apparent course and distance in still water, together with another course and distance corresponding with the motion of the current. Now, it is evident, that the apparent distance, or distance by log, AB, must be to the drift of the current BC, as the velocity of the vessel is to the velocity of the current, that is, as 6 to 2 In the triangle DKA, the sides DK, KA, are respectively like multiples of 6 and 2, and are, therefore, in that ratio. And the triangles DKA, ABC, are similar, because the alternate angles KDA, CAB, are equal. Therefore KD : AK :: 6 : 2 :: AB : BC. Consequently AB is the line, which, if described apparently by the vessel, would bring her to C by reason of the drift BC. Now to find the direction and length of this line AB.
In the triangle AKD are given AK and KD, together with the ZA=ZNAC-ZNAC=78° 45'--22° 30'= 56° 15'. Therefore, Side DK 66

ar. CO.
: Sine ZKDA= 180 21
949825 In the similar triangles AKD, CBA, the KAD LACB=56° 15', and the KDA=<CAB=18° 21'.
Therefore, Therefore, in the triangle ABC is given the side AC=66 miles, and two angles. Consequently the B is likewise known, being =105° 27'. Whence,
Şine B =1050 24' ar. co. 0'0 1588
: Side AC= 66
:: Sine C=56° 15'
: Side AB=569
The angle NAB is equal to NAC+2 CAB=78° 45' +18° 21'=97° 6', and the angle SAB, or the apparent course, is equal to the supplement of ZNAB, which is 82° 54'. And the apparent distance, or distance by log, =56'9, or 57 miles, at the rate of 6 knots an hour, gives the time 9 hours. That is to say, the sloop will reach the island directly in 9 hours, by steering S. 82° 54' W. or nearly WS.
TRAVERSE SAILING.
The application of plane trigonometry to the solution of nautical questions has been exemplified. But the solution by logarithms is thought too operose for daily use, and it is seldom that mariners avail themselves of the logarithmic lines on Gunter's Scale. It is now a long time since tables of difference of latitude and departure, commonly called Traverse Tables, have been calculated; by the help of which any person, though totally ignorant of the trigonometrical proportions, 'may readily find the parts of any right-angled triangle, provided two of them exclusive of the right angle be given. For, since the distance sailed on any course is the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, of which the difference of latitude and departure are the
legs,

The main goal of our project is to create an electronic box allowing the technician to analyze an EBSF bus and check if its electronic devices are functional or not.
The EBSF project, or European Bus System of the Future is a European project aiming to standardize all the buses across the Europe. This would simplify exchanges between countries and maintenance on the buses that would be architecturally the same.
We decided to develop a website to allow any Wi-Fi devices to connect themselves and get the result of the test. Thus the technician can have access to the test with his mobile phone, tablet, or personal computer. We tried to make the website very easy to use so that everybody could use it just by following the steps one after the other. We also added an admin interface that only some people can access if they know the login and the password. They can modify (add, edit and delete) the services on the database to make it more accurate and complete.
The first panel of the website allows the user to configure an IP address corresponding to the bus he wants to test. Then the technician can go the bus analysis window by clicking the « go to the test » button. Here he has to click the « launch the test » button to get the result of the test. In this section the biggest part of our project is running: we check the devices on the network and compare them to a preloaded database. By scrolling down, the technician can see three tables. The first one displays the name and type compliant services highlighting them in green, if they have the same characteristics, and in red if they have differences.
The second table shows only the services present on the database and the third only those on the bus.
The last section of this window displays a chart to get a quick look at what is not functional on the bus.
The box is only composed of a raspberry and a battery linked by an USB/µUSB wire. All of the code is stocked into the SD card plugged in the Raspberry. The full project is estimated at less than 100€. And we really think that it could be useful for Digimobee and every company in the EBSF project.
I'm truly enjoying the design and layout Benefits of Coconut Oil your website.

 It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did

Last week we took a look at all the different tote options available to punters, and what the best options are to use for each type of racing.
We also highlighted a couple of alternatives – Betfair's Starting Price, and TopBetta's GOAT SP.
While products like 'Best Tote / SP' are derived from the traditional Australian totes, the Betfair and TopBetta products are separate markets altogether. So which is best to use?
Betfair SP – taking into account commission rates that are paid on profits (10% for NSW thoroughbred racing, 6% for Victoria).
GOAT SP – this is TopBetta's derivative of The Global Tote. It pays at the higher of Global Tote or official SP.
Top Fluc – while not a tote product in the truest sense, the data was available and the bet type is widely available corporate bookies (provided you bet more than 30 minutes before the race).
So there you have it: in both states, TopBetta's GOAT SP reigns supreme. It delivered significantly better profits than Betfair SP, which in turn was superior to both Top Fluc and Best Tote / SP.
Could this really be the case? Of course.
Both GOAT SP and Betfair SP are low takeout / low commission products; the operators take less, leaving more in the pool for the punters.
There's nine races where outsiders won. Looking at these, it's pretty clear that both Betfair SP and the Global Tote can produce some extremely large numbers in these instances that can skew the overall figures when using level staking (as we are in this example).
The difference in NSW is the 10% commission rate on Betfair SP, compared to 6% in Victoria. This higher charge is a result of the higher race field fees that Racing NSW charge on their racing. It means GOAT SP is a far better proposition than Betfair SP, which also lags behind ever Best Tote / SP and Top Fluc… the higher fees have really damaged the Betfair exchange product when it comes to NSW.
All-in-all? Based on our sample, the GOAT SP is the way to go. It's still a developing product, but at the moment it is King of the Totes.

Training in the Martial Arts can help you and your family build fitness, confidence, the ability to defend yourself and the body you've always wanted in a fun, safe but challenging environment.
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a grappling art that utilises the Gi, traditional kimono type clothing consisting of a jacket, trousers and a belt.
Originating from Japan, Judo arrived on Brazilian shores and was practiced focusing on ground fighting (newaza) using a range of joint locks and chokes to overcome an opponent. It was developed and popularised by the Gracie family, heavily influenced by Submission and Catch Wrestling techniques, and evolved into the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu we train today. Passed down and continuously developed by many pioneers of the sport, and now we continue to evolve it to this day.
However, at Voodoo we do not exclude any useful techniques from other styles of grappling that use the GI such as Judo or Sambo, as well as many styles of grappling that don't.
Influenced by many schools of thought within and outside Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ), we have consistently produced successful competitors at all levels, including national championships. Competing can help a student progress through the rankings but is in no way a requirement.
You will progress through the BJJ belt system, your rank will be recognised both nationally and internationally. Voodoo Combat BJJ is verified by Kameron Atakuru of ASW Manchester and Ben Poppleton of Gordo Jiu Jitsu Europe. Voodoo Combat is a member of and verified by the Cobra Martial Arts Association (CMAA) under whom all your belt rankings will be recognised and recorded and will eventually appear on the National Black Belt Register. We are also members of the UK Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Association (UKBJJA) as well as being recognised by the International Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Federation (IBJJF).
Wrestling is a group of grappling arts (without a Gi as in BJJ) and can be fought under a range of rule sets, and we at Voodoo train for all the predominate styles using a range of joint locks and chokes to overcome an opponent. These styles include Submission Wrestling, Catch Wrestling, Olympic Greco and Freestyle Wrestling.
Although they are all styles of wrestling in their own right we do not differentiate or exclude any skills from any grappling arts. We include techniques from Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Sambo, Judo, Collegiate Wrestling, Luta Livre, as well as clinch techniques from Muay Thai. In fact anything useful no matter what the source.
At Voodoo we encourage our wrestlers to compete to accelerate their development and test their grappling skills, but noone is ever pressured to do. We want you to enjoy your journey.
Voodoo Combat is a member of, and our wrestling programme verified and regulated by, Kameron Atakuru of ASW Manchester and the British Wrestling Organisation (BWO).
THAI / KICK BOXING
Thai Boxing and Kick Boxing are the ultimate arts of striking with the hands, elbows, the feet, legs and knees. Thai Boxing specifically employs prolonged fighting within a clinch. Where as K1 Kickboxing has a much more limited clinch. Then there's American style Kick Boxing with no clinch work and further limits on the strikes allowed. They are all full contact forms of Kick Boxing and we at Voodoo Combat train for all these rule sets, excluding nothing of use.
There are always opportunities to compete in any of these forms of Thai Kick Boxing if you wish to test your skills in the ultimate arena.
Not only does Kickboxing provide fighters with a sense of confidence and vigour, it's also a great way for gym newcomers to increase stamina and transform, shedding fat and developing lean muscle.
You will progress through the belt system towards achieving a 'Black Belt' and beyond, recognised and recorded on the National Black Belt Register. Voodoo Combat is a member of and verified by the Cobra Martial Arts Association (CMAA).
BOXING (FOR THIA / KICK BOXING)
Boxing is a discipline that is seemingly unaffected by changing fashions in sports and remains an enormously popular combat sport all around the world to this day, for good reason.
Known as "the noble art", boxing is the king of hand combat sports. Training in boxing will develop a sense of timing and fluid movement, learning how to successfully strike an opponent and avoid incoming punches. It is the ideal art to compliment our Thai / Kick Boxing style.
Boxing requires a very high level of fitness that you will develop whilst simply enjoying the process of getting better.
SHOTOKAN KARATE DO
Shotokan Karate Do is a way for an individual to realise greater potential and expand the limits of that individual's physical and mental capabilities.
The traditional Martial Art of Karate originated from the island Okinawa in Japan. Many family styles of Karate evolved but only a few stood the test of time and Shotokan was one of them. An art that is primarily based in striking and utilises traditional training methods such as Kata which is a set pattern of techniques called Kata.
You will progress through the belt system to the ultimate 'Black Belt' recognised and recorded on the National Black Belt Register. Voodoo Combat is a member of and verified by the Cobra Martial Arts Association (CMAA). There are opportunities to compete under a variety of rule sets.
Karate also has its competitive side consisting of performing various forms of Kata in various formats as well as individual and team Kumite which consists of free sparring accumulating points on successful techniques. Shotokan Karate Do is a true taste of the origins of so many of today's combat arts.
Training in Self Defence / Street Combat is delivered via personal training sessions and public courses. It is taught by qualified self defence coaches using the 'Def-Con-One' system developed with input from the very best martial arts coaches, military, police and prison services.

When I plug the USB dongle for my 8bitdo M30 2.4ghz controller to the Raspberry Pi, emulationstation (or Kodi) will detect it as '6B Controller', which is expected.
But when I am assigning the buttons, it will detect up/down as axis 1 (also as expected) but won't register left/right (which was supposed to be axis 0) at all.
I am successfully using this controller on:
On a Raspberry Pi 3 running RetroPie, I can get it detected as '6B Controller' and working without issues. up/down are axis 1 and left/right are axis 0.
On a Mac I can confirm it is also detected as a '6B controller' and when I move up/down and left/right, it is using the axis 4 and 3.
I've already confirmed the controller is at the latest firmware and, as far as I know, there is not a way to change it's 'mode' to Android or anything similar.

Gaming on the Mac isn't as big as on PC, but there's still some great games out there for Apple computers. In some cases you'll be OK using a keyboard and mouse, but for a lot of people, kicking back and using a controller is the way to game.
If that sounds like you and you're looking for a good controller, look no further. Here's what to get.
You can't just plug and play the Xbox One controller on the Mac, but getting it working really doesn't take much effort. And when it's up and running you'll have one of the best controller experiences on any platform right there for your Mac games.
The Xbox One controller isn't all that expensive and has an offset design for its thumbsticks which many find much more comfortable than Sony's side-by-side arrangement. It's a great size, not too heavy and has nice big bumpers and triggers.
The standard black controller is around $45, but there are a ton of special edition designs out there for various prices that might be more to your liking.

While the Xbox One controller is preferable for many, others swear by Sony's DualShock 4. It's a very different design but equally proficient in its own right for Mac gaming. Again, it's not exactly plug and play, but the process of making sure it's working properly is very simple.
The DualShock 4 is very comfortable in the hand with great triggers and bumpers, albeit both a little smaller than on something like an Xbox controller. The biggest difference is the side-by-side analog sticks.
It's lightweight so it's great for long gaming sessions, and Sony also has an official adapter to allow you to use it with your Mac wirelessly, though they can be hard to find. But for around $50, this is another great controller and it works perfectly with Steam.
Steam Controller
Steam is more commonly associated with PC gaming but there's still a decent supply of Mac compatible games in there. If this is where you get most of your games from, them the official Steam Controller might be the one for you, and it has full, official Mac support.
It's a bit unusual compared to many controllers, thanks in no small part to the touchpad which you find where you might expect one of the analog sticks. The Steam Controller has been designed so you can play keyboard and mouse games comfortably with a controller.
There's a bit of a learning curve, but when you get used to it it's just as easy to use as any other controller. It sells for $50 but Valve is frequently discounting it, so there's always a chance of a bargain if you can wait until the next sale.

DECA Month is a great time to connect with your chapter's alumni and have them share their success stories with your members.
There's nothing more rewarding to an advisor than hearing former DECA members attribute their success to their experience with DECA.
Meet Emily Daley, a former Broad Run DECA member from Virginia, who graduated in 2014. Below, Emily shares how DECA has had a positive impact on her first semester as a college freshman.
One of the most difficult parts of graduating high school was saying goodbye to my four-year career as a DECA member. I thought that it was the end of the road for me and DECA, since I would be attending Vanderbilt University, which does not have a Collegiate DECA chapter.
What I did not realize however, was that I was not saying goodbye to DECA, but rather saying hello to all of the real world situations that I am was prepared to handle because of my time as a DECA member.
My roommate and I have many things in common, but I knew she was the perfect choice for me when we bonded over our love for DECA from opposite coasts of the country. When we arrived at Vanderbilt, we decided to take a marketing class together to continue developing our passion for the subject, despite the fact that I am a pursuing a major in chemical engineering and she is pursuing a major in economics. We were completely unaware of the mostly upperclassmen composition of the class and the large workload, but it sounded like fun so we blindly began our new marketing journey together.
Right away we were thrown into several projects, such as creating a marketing plan to attract the millennial generation to a local medical practice, as well as helping our choice of a local non-profit solve a problem by creating a new marketing plan. While many of our classmates were new to the concept of actually working to market a real company or charity, we both had experience from our DECA days and immediately began to apply this knowledge in project proposals and market research. Hearing the words "SWOT analysis," as a required section in our first assignment was like music to my role-play trained ears.
We held client meetings, conducted research, and were able to operate in a completely professional environment. It may sound like a cliché when your marketing teacher tells you that DECA skills will be the most important thing you learn in high school, but my roommate and I truly marvel at how prepared we were to enter the collegiate and professional worlds because of what we learned through DECA.
That's not all though! Of course a marketing organization is going to be relevant in a marketing class, but DECA has also prepared me for things I could not have predicted. In my Spanish writing class, our very first assignment was to write a resume and cover letter, something I have become very accustomed to (in English of course) through my high school marketing education.
DECA skills apply to college in general, too. Earning your professor's respect is very important in college, and not knowing that an email that says, "Yo prof what's up," is unprofessional and inappropriate could cost you a truly great relationship. DECA teaches you how to network and make connections, something that I have already taken advantage of as I begin to reach out and start my internship hunt for the summer.
Even the little things, like knowing how to confidently shake a new acquaintances hand when you meet them (yes, everyone shakes hands in college) become huge assets as you begin to truly follow your own path in life.
So my advice to all high school students out there: truly take advantage of the knowledge, experience, and relationships you develop through DECA, because they will make a difference in your life.
Do you have a DECA alumni story you'd like to share during #DECAMonth? Email your story and a photo of the alumni to communications@deca.org.

Cologne (Germany) (AFP) - Several thousand people marched Saturday through the western German city of Cologne in protest at continued Turkish air strikes against Kurdish separatists.
Some 5,000 people demonstrators gathered in the centre of the city, police said, with organisers hoping that more of the region's substantial Kurdish and Turkish populations more would join them later.
Another much smaller protest was held in Brussels.
The rallies were called by an alliance of pro-Kurdish groups to say "No to the war", after the two weeks of Turkish air raids on Kurdish separatist targets, mostly in northern Iraq.
The outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) has struck back killing at least 20 members of the Turkish security forces.
March organiser Zubeyir Aydar of the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK) -- which Ankara claims is the PKK's political wing -- accused Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of breaking a truce with separatists which had held since 2013.
German Foreign Frank-Walter Steinmeier meanwhile told the Rheinische Post daily Saturday that it "would be regrettable that Turkey's national peace process should go to the wall because of regional conflicts in the Middle East."
Turkey's main Kurdish political leader Selahattin Demirtas accused Ankara on Thursday of using air strikes against the Islamic State group as a cover to hit the PKK and to weaken his Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party's (HDP), which made major gains in parliamentary elections in June.

Nadal, Cornet, Garin, Kyrgios … What to remember from the 8th day of Wimbledon
Leave a Comment / sport / By salimchaouiche
Nadal, Cornet, Garin and Kyrgios. Panoramic
End of the 8th this Monday in London. The Spaniard does not tremble, the Blue stop there, Garin wins a superb marathon and Kyrgios continues his quest.
At Wimbledon,
Grand Slam title record holder
Nadal has more and more green feet. After two first rounds, where he had conceded a set, the double winner of Wimbledon continues on his way without trembling. As in the 3rd round of the last Roland‐Garros, Rafael Nadal won in three sets against the 25th world Botic Van de Zandschulp this Monday evening in the round of 16 at Wimbledon: 6–4, 6–2, 7–6(6 ) in 2h24 of play. Place for Taylor Fritz in 8th (see elsewhere). A very big first test.
The last French women in the running
End of the adventure for Alizé Cornet and Harmony Tan, eliminated in quick succession on Monday and the last French women in the running. The 115th in the world suffered the law of Amanda Anisimova 6-2. 6-3. And Cornet lost his showdown against Ajla Tomljanovic (6-4, 4-6, 6-3). There are no more French people entered in singles at Church Road since in the men's category, Richard Gasquet and Ugo Humbert had left the tournament at the 3rd round stage. Tomljanovic, who had already reached the quarters last year on the London lawn, will challenge the Kazakh Elena Rybakina (23rd).
Led two zero sets by Alex de Minaur, the Chilean Cristian Garin overthrew the Australian (2-6, 5-7, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (6)), erasing two match balls. Enough to shed a few tears of joy at the end of his superb 4:38 long fight. The 43rd in the world will play his first Grand Slam quarter-final, on a surface which is not a priori his best. He had not won a match this season on grass before Wimbledon and had lost in the 1st round of Eastbourne against… De Minaur.
the attraction
Eight years later, Nick Kyrgios returns to the quarter-finals at Church Road. That year, he notably dismissed Nadal in the round of 16. He seemed cut out for one day winning the Grail in London. The whimsical Aussie got a bit lost on the way. And at 27, not really calmed down but really invested, he once again makes his many supporters dream. On alternating current, he was right Monday, after 3 h 10 of play, of the American Brandon Nakashima (4-6, 6-4, 7-6, 3-6, 6-2), 20 years old, who disputed his first knockout round in a Grand Slam. Opposed to Garin in the quarters, the native of Canberra could find a certain… Rafael Nadal in the semi-finals on Friday.

The phrase
"There was a time when my agent had to pick me out of a pub at 4am before playing my match on Center Court at Wimbledon against Nadal. I've come a long way, that's for sure."Signed Nick Kyrgios obviously. The whimsical Australian, a little calmer, is invested in this Wimbledon 2022. If the physique holds…
The demonstration
Winner in 2019 and now coached by Patrick Mouratoglou, Simona Halep has impressed since the start of the tournament. The former world number one outclassed world 4th Paula Badosa (6-1, 6-2) on Monday. Halep had already inflicted a correction on Badosa at the Madrid tournament (6-3, 6-1). Halep will try to confirm her sparkling form against Anisimova, 20, whose best performance in a Major is a semi-final at Roland-Garros in 2019. Nice shock in prospect.
Quietly Taylor Fritz advances with confidence. The American walked in the face of the surprise Jason Kubler, 99th in the world, swept away (6-3, 6-1, 6-4). Titled at Eastbourne, just before Wimbledon, Fritz confirms his very good form at the moment. He still has not conceded a set since the start of the fortnight. Rafael Nadal, his next opponent is warned. Especially since he remains on a defeat against Fritz in the final of Idian Wells last March.
The tournament management announced on Monday that it has appealed the fine of one million dollars (960,000 euros) imposed by the WTA due to the exclusion of Russian and Belarusian players this year. The WTA, like the ATP which manages the men's circuit, denounced Wimbledon's decision not to accept Russian and Belarusian players this year in retaliation for the war in Ukraine. Invoking a breach of fairness, the two authorities had already reacted by announcing that they would not distribute any ranking points in the Major on grass.

Azerbaijan asserts its power in the South Caucasus
DISCLAIMER: All opinions in this column reflect the views of the author(s), not of EURACTIV.COM Ltd.
By Xander Snyder | Geopolitical Futures
Map of the region, with Nakhchivan in yellow [Photograph Works]
A minor escalation carries an important message. Russia has reason to support Azerbaijan's move in Nakhchivan, as its primary imperative in the South Caucasus is to prevent any country from moving too far into the Western camp, writes Xander Snyder.
Xander Snyder's article was first published with Geopolitical Futures, the global analysis company founded by George Friedman.
Over the past month, there has been a small but meaningful escalation of tensions in the breakaway region of Nakhchivan in the South Caucasus. In late May, Azerbaijani media reported that the country's military seized new territory in Nakhchivan, an exclave of Azerbaijan surrounded by Armenia, Iran and Turkey. In the following two weeks, there were reports that Azerbaijan had occupied areas of northwestern Nakhchivan, including the abandoned town of Gunnut and the heights surrounding it. Then, another breakaway region, Nagorno-Karabakh, which is officially part of Azerbaijan but administered by local Armenian forces, held military exercises last week and trumpeted their success through Armenian media.
Both Nakhchivan and Nagorno-Karabakh are caught in a conflict between historical rivals Azerbaijan and Armenia, so any movement of troops in these territories by either country can be seen as an escalation. Azerbaijani media claimed that 11,000 acres of territory were "liberated" by the military maneuver in Nakhchivan. This is a mostly meaningless claim – Nakhchivan is already controlled by Azerbaijan, which means that its forces can move freely within the territory anyway – but for one exception. The area containing Gunnut has, since the town was evacuated in the early 1990s during the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, remained neutral with no forces from either country stationed there. In addition, control of the heights surrounding Gunnut enables Azerbaijan to block – through the deployment of artillery – the only major highway leading from Yerevan to Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, which threatens Armenia's ability to reinforce its defence forces in the region.
Tensions flare over Nagorno-Karabakh regularly. The two sides exchange artillery fire every so often, sometimes resulting in casualties. The Nakhchivan-Armenia border, however, has generally been less active, which raises a question: Why is it active now? The anti-government protests in Armenia in April undoubtedly played a role, as Azerbaijan likely wanted to take advantage of the instability there to put pressure on Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh. But it's hard to imagine Azerbaijan would try to change the strategic reality in the South Caucasus, even if only incrementally, without the approval of Moscow, which has a military base in Armenia and supplies arms to both Armenia and Azerbaijan.
On a deeper level, Russia benefits from having the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh remain frozen, allowing it to play one side off the other as necessary and to minimize the presence of foreign powers in the South Caucasus. But Russia also has reason to support Azerbaijan's move in Nakhchivan. Russia's primary imperative in the South Caucasus is to prevent any country from moving too far into the Western camp. (Russia's invasion of Georgia in 2008 was motivated by this interest.)
In addition to the Armenian protests, which led to the resignation of Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan, Russia may have seen several other developments as early warning signs that a Western reorientation was at least being considered in Armenia. During a visit to Armenia last week, an EU delegation made several comments about democratic progress in Armenia, encouraged further electoral reform, and expressed a willingness to oversee Armenia's next elections. Of course, the European Union promised to not support any particular interest in the unrest, but having the EU involved in Armenia's political affairs is likely to worry Russia regardless of the EU's professed neutrality. The delegation also indicated that it would move ahead with visa liberalization talks, which had been stalled, and said the bloc would vote on a new EU-Armenia partnership agreement on 4 July. The same week that the visit took place, an opinion piece in The Hill, a Washington-based publication, advocated that the US take advantage of Armenia's new administration to pull the country further into the Western orbit.
The underlying fundamentals of the South Caucasus haven't changed, but Russia may still view these developments as a creeping Western threat that needs to be quickly put down. From this perspective, giving a green light to a minor Azerbaijani military deployment as a slap on the wrist to Armenia makes sense. Moscow is sending a clear message to Yerevan: Armenian security is still dependent on Russian support, and Russia can indirectly threaten Armenia's territorial integrity if it falls out of line.
Russia can also make the argument that the Azerbaijani offensive necessitates an even greater Russian presence in Armenia to deter the conflict's escalation. This would serve another core Russian interest in the South Caucasus: to prevent Azerbaijan, whose people are part of a Turkic ethnic group, from establishing an uninterrupted corridor to Turkey through Nakhchivan. Indeed, the Soviet Union drew the current borders of the South Caucasus, including those of Nakhchivan, which is physically separated from Azerbaijan and shares a border that is only 8 miles-long with Turkey. It's unlikely, therefore, that Azerbaijan's move in Nakhchivan will turn into a major border conflict with Armenia, since that wouldn't suit Russian interests. It's enough for Russia to simply show Armenia that such a conflict is possible, and that it is willing to let Azerbaijan assert greater power in Nakhchivan – which could threaten Armenia in Nagorno-Karabakh. Russia won't let Armenia suffer major territorial losses, but it will make Armenia consider the possibility to ensure that Yerevan doesn't stray too far.

Q: Calling on click on button when timer ends I'm creating a quiz app in android. I have written OnClickListener  for next button to load next question. now I want to add timer to each question  so that when timer ends it will automatically call OnClickListener of next button. How to implement this?

A: You just need to call performClick() on an instance of your next button. Something like this:
nextButton.performClick()

That will execute everything you have inside of OnClickListener that is set for that button.
EDIT:
If I misunderstood your question and you are searching for Timer implementation, I recommend for you check CountDownTimer that is provided by Android team. You can check documentation with an example for his here:
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/os/CountDownTimer

A: If you want to delay some code from running for a certain amount of time use a Runnable and a Handler like this
Runnable r = new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run(){
    doSomething(); //<-- put your code in here.
}
};

Handler h = new Handler();
h.postDelayed(r, 1000);

A: You can have a method you call when the user clicks the next button say it's named as nextQuestion()
then add the listener of your next button
 Button nextBtn = findViewById(..);
 nextBtn.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                nextQuestion();
            }
        });

And the time would be CountDownTimer of say 1 min duration (60*1000 msec) and 1 second tick (1000 msec)
new CountDownTimer(60000, 1000) { // 1 min duration (60*1000 msec) and 1 second tick (1000 msec)
    @Override
    public void onTick(long millisUntilFinished) {
        // do something each second
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinish() {
        // timer expired
        nextQuestion();

    }
}.start();

The following statement regarding the Administration's budget should be attributed to Myra Jones-Taylor, Chief Policy Officer, ZERO TO THREE.
"The first three years of a child's life shape every year that follows. Yet far too many babies face persistent hardships—such as food insecurity, unstable housing and exposure to violence—that undermine their ability to grow. When babies don't get what their growing brains need to thrive, they don't develop as they should.
"The Administration's budget will strip many of the supports babies need to succeed, including healthcare, a roof over their heads and healthy food. Without raising budget caps, these programs and others that families rely on will suffer, with long term consequences for babies' healthy development.
"As shown in the newly released State of Babies Yearbook: 2019, the youngest children in this country face big challenges, with as many as 45 percent of them living in families without the resources to meet their basic needs. This new data underscore the need to increase investments in the programs and services that support children's early development, not divest in our future.
"Most working families in America struggle to find affordable, quality child care. While we are pleased to see the Administration's interest in child care, a one-time increase is not enough to solve the challenges families and providers face. By connecting competitive funding with deregulation, families could lose basic protections that ensure babies are safe and well cared for. It's time for a robust overhaul of our child care system to ensure parents can work and their babies receive the high-quality care their rapid brain development requires.
"The budget's paid parental leave plan would be insufficient to meet the caregiving needs of working families. By only providing paid time away from work after the birth or adoption of a child—and not ensuring a sustainable funding source—this proposal would shortchange families and does not reflect the range of working families' caregiving needs. Alternatively, the Family and Medical Insurance Leave (FAMILY) Act would create a comprehensive national program that makes paid leave affordable for employers of all sizes and available to all workers and their families.
"We cannot expect a 'better America' tomorrow without giving babies and their families the support they need today. The time to make every baby our national priority is now.
About ZERO TO THREE ZERO TO THREE works to ensure all babies and toddlers benefit from the family and community connections critical to their well-being and development. Since 1977, the organization has advanced the proven power of nurturing relationships by transforming the science of early childhood into helpful resources, practical tools and responsive policies for millions of parents, professionals and policymakers.

New Report Shows Tylenol Easy to Overdose On
Acetaminophen, Active Ingredient in Tylenol, More Deadly than Suspected
A new report from ProPublica shows that not only is
acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, the deadliest over-the-counter painkiller currently on the market in the US, but due to lack of warnings and information, Americans have a spotty understanding of the potential for overdose.
In a study as part of the investigative report, ProPublica found that about half of Americans were not aware of safety warnings having to do with Tylenol or acetaminophen. About 80% said that overdosing on the medication could result in serious side effects; however, 35% of those surveyed said it was safe to mix Tylenol with other medications containing acetaminophen, a practice known as "double dipping" which is the most common cause of overdose deaths related to Tylenol and acetaminophen.
Between 2001 and 2010, more than 1,500 people in the US died from accidentally overdosing on acetaminophen, called paracetamol in other countries. That comes to about 150 deaths per year due to Tylenol overdose. In high amounts, acetaminophen can damage the liver, and it turns out, the amount considered "overdose" is not as high as previously suspected.
The current daily recommended dose of Tylenol is 4 grams, and a report from the US Food and Drug Administration suggests that upping that dose to just 5 grams can begin to damage the liver. In other words, just two tablets of Extra Strength Tylenol could cause damage to the liver.
In contrast, other over-the-counter painkillers like Aspirin and Ibuprofen require huge doses to begin to cause any kind of toxicity. An overdose on Aspirin is somewhere between 6 and 8 times the recommended dose, while for Ibuprofen, toxicity begins at 20 times the recommended dose.
ProPublica writes that "four years ago, another FDA panel backed a sweeping new set of proposals to bolster the safety of over-the-counter acetaminophen." However, the government agency still has not implemented these proposals. In fact, in 1977, an expert panel recommended that the FDA put "severe liver damage" warnings on Tylenol, but the FDA did not add the warning labels for 32 years. Just recently, Johnson & Johnson, the manufacturers of Tylenol, finally agreed to put a red warning cap on their product with an admonition to "Always Read the Label" when taking the drug.
McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the division of Johnson & Johnson that manufactures Tylenol, has created a large outreach effort to educate the public on mixing acetaminophen medications, called Get Relief Responsibly.
"McNeil has been a leader in educating doctors and providing materials about overdose and misuse of medicines containing acetaminophen," the company said in a statement. It said its "acetaminophen awareness messages have been seen over one billion times."
Tylenol and Acetaminophen Personal Injury Cases
Research shows that Tylenol® causes a variety of side effects and may increase the risk of liver failure and other serious health complications in otherwise healthy people prescribed the Acetaminophen pain reliever. Specifically, Tylenol® and other Acetaminophen products have been shown to increase the risk of liver problems, including liver damage and/or liver failure. These products have been sold for years with inadequate warning and instructions, which could have reduced or prevented the risk of serious and potentially life-threatening injury.
Have you experienced any of the following symptoms within a week of ingesting Tylenol® Acetaminophen products:
Hospitalization resulting from severe liver injury or liver problems
Liver failure
Liver transplant or being placed on the transplant list
Possible death or loss of life from liver failure
The Strom Law Firm is Investigating Cases of Tylenol or Acetaminophen Personal Injury
The personal injury attorneys at the Strom Law Firm, based in Columbia, SC, are now investigating and evaluating cases against Tylenol®, the popular Acetaminophen drug. Some users of Tylenol® have been diagnosed with liver damage after taking the medication. Contact us today for a free consultation to discuss your case. 803.252.4800

So excited!! Most of you probably know that Joe and I are heading back to NYC for the marathon in November, but we are also going Labor Day weekend for a friends wedding. This will be the first time I've been back since moving last November…can't believe I have been away for 8 months!!
In other news, I have been spending a lot of time with these friends all week.
My 12 miler on Sunday really tweaked my hip and back and my right IT band has been a complete disaster ever since. I went for my 3 mile run on Tuesday and it did not feel too good. I decided to take the rest of the week off and stick to rolling, stretching and yoga in the hopes that things would be better for tomorrow's long run.
There's been a little improvement, but not enough yet….fingers crossed it's back to normal tomorrow!
This entry was posted in Everything Else, Run and tagged foam roll, IT band, NYC, wedding. Bookmark the permalink.
I am SO excited!! The wedding is actually on the Jersey shore, so we will head to Joe's parents for sat/sun, but I am hoping to spend Monday in the city catching up with friends, so I will keep ya posted on plans and maybe we can meet up!
Oh no to injuries!! Probablyjust needs a little bit of rest and stretching, like you are doing 🙂 It will be gone in no time!
I am so excited for you – you are going to do awesome this weekend!!!!
That's cool that you will be in Brooklyn too – Meredith (from The Cookie Chrunicles) lives in Long Island, so maybe we can organize a little blogger meet up!
Thanks for the good wishes! Excited for this weekend!!
Nice job for getting your ROLL on!! Those things help girlfriend!! Have an amazing time in NYC!
That looks like a long stick filled with marshallows. haha.
Sorry to hear about your hip and IT band. I hope with a little recovery time you're better!
YAY for NY!!! That's awesome – two trips!? Jealous.
Careful with your leggys! I hope they feel better for your long run, but if not, hold off! 🙂 Have a fabulous weekend!
How fun!! I absolutely LOVE nyc. It is my favorite place to visit!
Wow, I can't believe it's been 6 months since you moved. I feel like it was just yesterday when the two of you started packing for your big move. Have fun!
