Turns out around that time Willie Mays was the part time babysitter for one of my close GU friends (and teammate). His dad had coached … then later managed the Giants during the "Say Hey"

I wanted to beat Duke badly.
But tonight, I admit, Duke was the better team, not by a big margin, but for tonight.
But I did NOT want to go the regular season undefeated again. It put even extra pressure on our guys. Plus, you learn some things when you lose.
We beat Texas, UCLA, we went down to the last minute with Duke (Who wll be No. 1 and we'll be 2, IMO), we have a game against a top 15 Alabama team we have to win, and not take Texas Tech lightly.
IF we make it through THAT non-conf. sched with one loss it is miraculous.
I also think this is the year our conf. win streak breaks. Good teams lurking out there. And that's okay, too.
I would love for this young team to go into the NCAA as a No. 1 seed in the West with 2-3 losses.
I hate Duke. I would'lve loved to have beat them. But we didn't want to be undefeated again. We played a tough game down to the wire. I'm happy.
You may not want to go undefeated , but I do. I want to win every game, every year. Why would you not want to go undefeated ? Maybe if we went undefeated and won 2 o 3 championships in a row those people back east would stop crying about how the Zags are not that good.
Being undefeated means we win the title.

I believe the loss does not have to hurt the Zags, and it could actually help them in the long run. The season is young, and they will learn a lot from that loss and they will grow and get better. I believe it is really really hard to go undefeated in a season any more. It hasn't been done for a long long time. I still believe that it's really important to win our conference and this loss will help us prepare to do just that. it is not going to be as easy this year to win it, and that is going to help us get stronger and tougher. We will continue to take it one game at a time because we still have some very challenging games ahead in our NON CONVERENCE schedule: Alabama and Texas Tech, and of course the UW. Real big games that I know I will enjoy.
Go Zags!!!
Go Zags!!! The Best Is Yet To Come!!!

Who wants a loss? Weak to hope for a season with defeats. Even if a loss wouldn't hurt the team.

There has never been a game that going into it I wanted Gonzaga to lose. It is not like there was a point with 45 seconds left I thought; "I hope we lose."
Every game we play, I hope we win.
But my ultimate goal for this team and school is a national championship. I think there is a reason that the last team to go undefeated was in 1977. The pressure gets immense and, much more importantly, losses do teach you things that victories do not. Baylor had two losses last year when they absolutely steamrolled us in the finals.
I think we have a better chance at winning a national championship if we enter the NCAA tournament having experienced a loss, or two. (More and I worry about seeding).
So while it is evidently "tougher" to want to go undefeated, I guess I go with the "weaker" position and the odds that say it will make us more likely to win the National Championship. I could've heard it now, "For the second year in a row, Gonzaga enters the tournament undefeated, can they do it this year..." Instead of just tolling the ball out.
Weak to call out others as "weak" for looking at the bigger picture and believing (rightly or wrongly) that we have a better shot at the NC having experienced a loss or even two.
I am not sure how the thread became part Giants-Baseball history, but I sure enjoyed it. Love the story guys. Back before every game everywhere was televised, kids of a certain generation fell in love with teams the way you guys did.
If you ever listen to Gretzky talk, he would've give up his hockey career to be an all-star centerfielder for the Detriot Tigers. He listened to the Tigers on the radio in Southern Ontario and it was only when he was 13-14 did he figure out that if he was going to play professional sports it would be in the one he was scoring 9 goals a game in. A LOT of people in the Rocky Mountain west are St. Louis Cardinal fans bc for reasons having to do with strong AM radio stations ("Flamethrowers"?) and global magnetics, people in the rocky mountain west could pick up St. Louis Cardnial games with Jack Buck on the radio, for decades. A lot of the older guys in Idaho used to tell me.
DZ-----Fortunately (or not), your "goal" or my goal, or anyone's goal other than this team's goal---is meaningless. Not one player on the team wanted anything less than going undefeated. Would have been weak for them to want otherwise. But now we get to see what they do with that loss in the long run.
KM0X was available almost coast to coast, weather allowing.
As a youth, in the late 1950's (probably '57 or '58) we were in Germany and I laid by the radio and listened to the world series. I remember listening to Don Larsen's perfect game, and the game where Warren Spahn loste in extra innings (a complete game [although it may have been Lew Burdett]) having pitched a no hitter to that point.
I also admit that this many years later my memory may be tainted.
Hey Dixie...here is a baseball story for you....Jacky Jensen was an All American running back and pitched Cal to a National Championship in baseball... as a Major Leaguer he was a good enough hitter to win the American League MVP in 1958 in a field that included Micky Mantle among others....
So here is the story.... he was afraid to fly .... had a premonition he would die in a plane crash......and that was no real problem till the Majors expanded to the west..... so he had to ride a train for hours to get to the next game....... Unfortunately....... he was killed in a train wreck.......
When a plane crashed into it !!!.............................................. sometimes you can't win for losing......
I did not know that. I only knew it came into the Rockies in areas. This would be especially important back then when someone in rural areas didn't have a lot on the radio to begin with, so even a weak signal with a baseball game was the choice.
Plus, Jack Buck was amazing, so I'm told, I never got to hear him. But I'm told that he was "Vin Scully" good, in that neighborhood. I imagine there were countless nights that kids in southern California went to bed listening to Vince Scully.

Q: How to get certain posts in wordpress I want to implement a function to get certain posts in wordpress.
INPUT
page_number
category_name
VARIABLE
items_per_page = 10
OUTPUT
posts array, like the result of the query_posts() function.
Here is my code:
$page_number = $_GET["page_number"]
$category_name = $_GET["category_name"]

function app_get_posts($page_number, $category,$items_per_page = 10)
{
    global $wpdb;
    $select ="SELECT POSTS FROM wp_posts  WHERE CATEGORY = ".$category." LIMIT (".$page_number." - 1) * ".$items_per_page.",".$page_number."  * ".$items_per_page; //it didn't work.
    return $wpdb->query($select);
}

When I call the function app_get_posts('2','tech'), it will return the 10th~19th posts in the "tech" category, when I call app_get_posts('3','wordpress'), it will return the 20th~29th posts in the "wordpress" category.
So I am wondering if there is a way to figure out this problem.
Thx in advence.

A: I guess the reason why the above won't work is because the wp_posts table not has a CATEGORY or POSTS field. I modified you code so you can return posts based on taxonomy:
function app_get_posts($page_number, $category,$items_per_page = 10)
{
   global $wpdb;
   $start = ($page_number-1) * $items_per_page;
   $select ="SELECT DISTINCT wp.* FROM wp_posts wp
             INNER JOIN wp_term_relationships rs ON rs.object_id = wp.ID
             INNER JOIN wp_terms t ON t.term_id = rs.term_taxonomy_id
             WHERE t.name = ".$category." LIMIT ".$start.",".$items_per_page;
   return $wpdb->query($select);

How Serious Are We About Protecting Clean Water?
Jun 20, 2016 | Uncategorized
By Lynn Thorp, National Campaigns Director for Clean Water Action
One year ago this week, we welcomed the Obama Administration's completion of an important piece of clean water business. For over a decade, Clean Water Action has worked with allies to fix a policy problem that dates back to the George W. Bush Administration, and that leaves critical water resources unprotected by the Clean Water Act.
The "Clean Water Rule" finalized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is significant because it gets at the question of how serious we are about water protection. The debate over which water bodies merit protection didn't start in the wake of confusing Supreme Court decisions in the early 2000s. In fact the effort to limit federal protections for water dates back to the debate over original passage of the Clean Water Act which finally became the law of the land in 1972.
Why does it matter? As EPA demonstrated in an extensive review on the science of streams and wetlands, what happens in small water bodies upstream impacts the larger water bodies downstream. EPA has also demonstrated that leaving streams and wetlands unprotected impacts drinking water sources. For example, drinking water sources for over 117 million people remain vulnerable under current policies.
As public attention is focused on drinking water in light of the crisis in Flint, Michigan you would think that clarifying that we want to protect all of our water resources would be a no brainer. But the Clean Water Rule remains tangled up in litigation brought by powerful special interests and some states, including Michigan. And the Clean Water Rule is under almost continual attacks by Republican leadership in the U.S. House and Senate.
Just yesterday, House Republicans scuttled their own spending bill for energy and water programs because of inclusion of an amendment on LGBT protections. This spending bill was loaded down with bad provisions including one to block the Clean Water Rule.
It's a confusing mess but two things are clear: if we want to Put Drinking Water First we need to use the power of the Clean Water Act to recognize the science of water and keep special interests from carving out loopholes in protection. And Republican leadership in Congress is definitely not in sync with the public on the importance of clean drinking water and protecting vital water resources.

Long-term follow up of ionic plasma fluoride level in patients receiving hemodialysis treatment
Author: Nicolay A, Bertocchio P, Bargas E, Reynier JP.
Journal Name: Clinica Chimica Acta
Publish Date: July 4, 1997
Volume/Page: 263(1):97-104
Categories: Kidney, Risks to Kidney Patients, Total Body Burden, Sources of Exposure, Tissue F Levels, Dialysis, Serum-F
The elimination half-life of fluoride is significantly increased in patients with chronic renal failure. This led us to conduct a study of variations of its plasma levels in 35 patients receiving dialysis treatment. In this population, there is a gaussian distribution of the values before and after the hemodialysis session, with a significant decrease in the averages. Furthermore, there is a highly significant correlation between fluoride levels before and after the dialysis session (P < 0.00001), and also between the amount of time in hemodialysis (in months) and the average fluoride level before dialysis (r = 0.624; P = 0.008). The presence of a group of patients consuming fluoride waters such as Vichy St-Yorre Water was easily identified by their excessive fluoride levels (above 100 micrograms/l), which could have a tendency to increase the risks of this group.
Serum fluoride concentrations in renal insufficiency
In an area with non-fluoridated water (F content, 0.061 ppm), serum fluoride concentrations as measured with an ion specific electrode were as follows: controls (N = 13), 0.0127 ppm + 0.0057 (mean + SD); renal insufficiency (N = 10), 0.0452 ppm + 0.0151; chronic hemodialysis (N = 11), 0.0424 +
Studies on serum fluoride and bone metabolism in patients with long term hemodialysis
With growing experience of the long-term treatment of patients with end stage renal disease by hemodialysis, the safety of fluoridated water supply for dialysate and the effect on the bone metabolism has been discussed. In this study, concentrations of fluoride (F), calcium (Ga). aluminum (AI) and biochemical indices of bone metabolism,
Renal osteodystrophy in patients on long-term hemodialysis with fluoridated water
Serum and bone fluoride concentrations of ten patients maintained on long-term hemodialysis with fluoridated water (1 ppm, i.e., 50uM) were correlated with duration of treatment and the occurrence of clinical, radiological, and histological manifestations of bone disease. Two patients had symptomatic renal osteodystrophy when accepted on the program, whereas six
Serum ionic fluoride levels in haemodialysis and continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis patients
High serum fluoride (F-) in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is associated with risk of renal osteodystrophy and other bone changes. This study was done to determine F- in normal healthy controls and patients with ESRD on haemodialysis (HD) or peritoneal dialysis (PD). Seventeen
Hemodialyzability of ionizable fluoride in hemodialysis session
The fluoride ion content in serum and in dialysate medium was determined by means of a fluoride ion-selective electrode in 29 patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Abnormally high serum fluoride of 65.9 +/- 28.3 microg l(-1) at the beginning and 46.5 +/- 26.7 microg l(-1) at the completion of the hemodialysis
Fluoride & Osteomalacia
One of fluoride's most well-defined effects on bone tissue is it's ability to increase the osteoid content of bone. Osteoid is unmineralized bone tissue. When bones have too much of it, they become soft and prone to fracture -- a condition known as osteomalacia. As shown below, fluoride has repeatedly been
Exposure Pathways Linked to Skeletal Fluorosis
Excessive fluoride exposure from any source -- and from all sources combined -- can cause skeletal fluorosis. Some exposure pathways , however, have been specifically identified as placing individuals at risk of skeletal fluorosis. These exposure pathways include: Fluoridated Water for Kidney Patients Excessive Tea Consumption High-Fluoride Well Water Industrial Fluoride Exposure Fluorinated Pharmaceuticals (Voriconazole

The last day of April spells Walpurgis Eve, or Valborg, in Sweden. Spring is greeted with songs and bonfires at public gatherings all over the country.
In some parts of the country, young people went round singing May songs in return for gifts of food on Walpurgis Eve.Those who gave them nothing were treated to a 'nasty' ditty. Elsewhere, people visited spas to drink the health-giving water and to amuse themselves.


The following is a editorial by staff members with input from many members of the immersive theatre community. It is intended to encourage opinion sharing, open discourse, and conversation amongst our readers on safety and regulation.
Art is designed to make us feel, and great art makes us feel strongly. Whether it's the betrayal of a character in The Lust Experience, the fear of entering the unknown during Santu Deliria's Inductio for the first time, or the heartbreak of seeing your friend dead at the end of Have You Seen Jake, immersive theater has the power to make these emotions in fictional worlds feel real. That's the beauty of it; it's raw, unadulterated and has the power to push each of us in ways passive entertainment could only dream of doing.
But if people begin to over-regulate this art form in the name of safety, it has the potential to compromise the power and integrity of an experience.
First, let's get this out of the way: safety is paramount in an immersive show. No one will ever argue that point. Creators and fans alike are working to make immersive theater as safe as possible by mitigating risk—and while imposing a set, uniform list of rules and regulations is one way to lessen that risk, it is not the best way. It only serves to restrict the art and remove the agency of its audience.
That autonomy is essential to art, and the audience that attends immersive theater deserves the freedom to make their own decisions. Imagine how a twist ending would be neutered because a production is made to warn that a show "may contain death" beforehand. Being told of all potential thematic elements in a show, no matter how "dangerous" they may be, only serves to compromise the art.
Furthermore, when discussing safety, what constitutes an unsafe experience? Is it being aggressively handled? Being driven blindfolded in a car? Meeting a stranger on a street corner? Or how about, more appropriately, an un-mopped spilled drink on the floor of a venue? All experiences, like life itself, carry some level of risk—and what one audience member considers risky in a production could be regarded as completely innocuous by another. It's impossible to predict each person's reaction to a production unless you are that person. That is both the magic and the challenge of immersive work.
In theory, it would be an interesting concept if productions had a "safety coordinator" watching all physically risky encounters. But in practice, that could cause its own set of issues. How is one qualified for this role? What would a training, validation, or certification process look like? Who declares they are the authority to qualify the coordinators? Does this entity take on liability if something goes wrong with a pre-approved safety coordinator? Creators are well attuned to their shows, dress rehearsals and test runs are proven to identify and reduce problems. Early issues are also detected and voiced by a vigilant and active community and by writers and reviewers who are first and foremost fans and participants.
Having a well-trained coordinator may also be great for large scale productions that can afford it, but it hurts smaller productions that don't have the budget or staff to support a full-time coordinator on site. This method also favors already established companies while putting an additional burden on new experiences. More seasoned creators who have spent years developing a solid infrastructure weren't asked to adhere to these restrictions in their early days. New artists should be given the same chance, free from excessive judgment and with access to the full support and unconditional amplification of their voices. Denying new companies a platform and engagement opportunities, unless they stretch themselves thinner with added responsibilities, potentially paying more money when there isn't any, or eliminating the mystery/give-up trade secrets, potentially threatens to make the next generation of immersive artists either inaccessible to the audiences that would follow them or too timid and unsure of their own potential to make an impact.
These extra hoops could also inspire a level of reverse censorship. Afraid of angering a regulatory body and/or the added time or monetary strain that could come from adherence, innovation or creativity could be stymied as creators avoid subject matter or types of audience interactions that they fear will automatically raise red flags and draw extra scrutiny and invasiveness. The more control is added, the less artistic risk is taken.
At Haunting, we don't aim to regulate or control anything; our safety efforts are focused on the education of the immersive community, and ensuring the right expectations are set for any experience. Immersive theater only works if the audience is comfortable and participates, so understanding whether a show is a good fit is essential. As such, Haunting utilizes an intensity scale and detailed company profiles for most immersive companies in the genre; these can explain how intense or extreme a production is, the level of contact, and general themes from a given company. This reduces actor risk by ensuring the right audience is at their shows and reduces audience risk by aligning intensity levels and interest.
When you attend an event, you are placing your trust in the hands of a creator. We want artists to innovate, and we trust you to make your own decision if an experience is a good fit because you are the expert on yourself. If you're unsure of an experience, there are many resources available to you: read our reviews, look at previous shows, talk to your friends, and ask the community in our Slack forum. If you still have questions, email the creator; most are more than happy to ease your fears without revealing specific content.
It's important to note that not all experiences are made for everyone—and that's okay. Every audience member is different. Some like fantasy worlds to explore, while others want an aggressive horror experience. It's your choice if you want to do it all, try to push yourself with more intense events, or just want to stick to what you know and enjoy.
Understand, we are by no means advocating a lack of guidelines for common-sense physical safety in experiences. We will always strive to investigate safety issues and report any risks we find to our community. Knowing this, we would like our readers to know what productions are available to them and use the resources found here, found with creators, and found amongst their peers to judge whether or not an experience is right for them. We will personally vet as many shows as we can, with the knowledge that the "unknown" is inherent in the appeal of immersive theatre; but we cannot in good conscience act as gatekeepers, denying our community access to what shows are available or denying the chance for creators who have given us no reason to doubt them the chance to connect with an audience. We believe you can use what this community has provided to make intelligent choices.
This article's intention is to start a conversation, and to provide a counterpoint to those who may disagree. An educational ratings system agreed upon mutually respectful conversations between promoters and creators in the interest of audience safety and awareness is unquestionably important. It is precisely this service that Haunting provides— setting expectations for all participants in partnership with the artists we hope to support. But one-way guidelines that restrict access for those who do not comply and over-regulating an art form that is still in its infancy is simply coddling a community that does not need, nor want, to be coddled.
Haunting is, and will always be, a home for artists and audiences looking to try something new, push boundaries, and have the freedom to make their own choices.


I have an extreme sensitivity to light like from car headlights at night and sunlight in the morning after I have slept all night this pain is mostly in the back of my eyes it partly burns while partly like a pressure. I sometimes have ringing and or buzzing in my ears. I once in a while stand up and get light headed. Once in a while I will also have my entire vision disrupted by either a greenish or milky white slime that seems partly transparent the ammount of time it takes to be able to see varies from 1-2 seconds upto me having to rub and blink my eyes for about 30-45 seconds to see again. I have pressure and pain in my head sometimes in which it may just hurt while other times it feels like i have a ballon in the center of my brain that is exspanding. I am not sure if the rest of these things are symptoms that relate or are interconnected but here are some other things: I have horrible memory except when it pertains to remembering numbers or things that interest me or certain dreams I have been able to remember some dreams now for years, I have a mental disorder that is said to be due to a chemical imbalance in my brain which results in stages of depression or possiblly the thing that means exstended periods of depression.
I also am over weight I am 5' 6" and 225pound 21 year old male. When I was younger doctors attempted to curve my emotional instability by trying all kinds medications in combinations of 2 to upto 6 different types of pills.
Well if its cellphone towers for you and other things I am kind of confused how that results in these symptoms. My entire list of symptoms has been going on since I was about 12 I think living in a Tiny town with "No" cellphone service at all and I mean none. We had no wi-fi or things of that sort. I had kind of thought mabye my symptoms might be in part due to genetics. Or even possibly some of the hundreds of medications doctors tryed me on when I was little such as but not limited to:*Risperdal*Paxil*Seriqual*Lithium Crystals*I think they even tryed me on ritilin*possibly TopomaxI cant remember for sure been so many and such. But there is also this one genetic disorder that affects the nerves and such especially when driving at night with bright lights I think. If I am wrong then well okay but I remember this one disorder it was called "Ragged Red Fiber Disorder" and its genetic. That is the one I was thinking of.

Bully: A Hard Documentary, but Does It Deserve to Be Rated R?
Profanity has garnered the new documentary Bully an R-rating, but anti-bullying advocates argue that the film should be PG-13, so more kids can see the film in schools and theaters without parents tagging along.
By Bonnie Rochman @brochmanMarch 12, 2012
'Bully': MPAA to Host Screening, Discussion of R-Rated Documentary The Los Angeles Times
Weinstein Co. and MPAA Stop Fighting Over 'Bully' — For One Night The Wall Street Journal
'Bully' Controversy: Student Urges MPAA to Change Documentary's R Rating CNN
On Saturday afternoon, at a film festival in Birmingham, Mich., Kevin Epling screened Bully, a much talked-about documentary about how brutally kids can treat one another. Epling didn't flinch any of the six times the word f— was uttered during the film. Although the frequent use of the swear word is what's garnered Bully an R-rating — and thus prompted its big-name distributor, Harvey Weinstein, to threaten to resign from the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) — Epling has his eye on the bigger picture, so to speak.
Ten years ago, his son, Matt, was hazed by a group of upperclassmen on his last day of eighth grade. A popular kid who was into BMX biking and writing poetry and was voted "Best Smile" in the middle-school yearbook, Matt was lured from his house to a nearby park by a friend; high school students pounced on him around the corner, smashing eggs and pouring syrup on him and letting him know in no uncertain terms that he was no longer a hotshot middle schooler but a lowly freshman. A little over a month later, the night before he was set to talk to police, Matt killed himself. A decade ago, bullying wasn't the cultural football it is today. "We were initially told it's just kids being kids," says Epling, who has spent the past decade helping raise the nation's consciousness about the importance of taking bullying seriously.
(VIDEO: YouTube Bullying Confessions)
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then how to quantify the impact of a movie? The good that could potentially come out of swarms of kids seeing Bully — which opens in U.S. theaters March 30 — far outweighs any damage that may come from them hearing a four-letter word they undoubtedly already know, says Epling, who lives in East Lansing, and serves as co-director of Bully Police USA, a grassroots organization of educators, parents and law enforcement that tracks state laws on bullying. "As a parent who has gone through this, I think this film is very powerful," he says. "The few words in there are there because that's the reality of the situation. When we have an opportunity as a society to put a dent in one of the largest problems across the U.S. facing children today, we should re-evaluate our priorities."
Those priorities, according to the MPAA, typically involve an automatic R-rating for any movie that incorporates the F-word at least twice as a general curse or once in reference to sex. In one particularly harrowing scene in Bully, one child makes liberal use of the word as he outlines how he plans to attack a victim.

"I wish this movie could be shown in every classroom in America," tweeted Ellen DeGeneres. But it won't be, due to its R-rating, Weinstein has pointed out. Last month, he lost an appeal to soften the rating. When he fell one short vote of the two-thirds needed to overturn the ruling, he announced he may pull out of the MPAA in protest, at least temporarily.
Adding to the furor is a petition started by Michigan high school student Katy Butler, who shares what it was like to have her finger broken in seventh grade by bullies who slammed her locker shut on her hand. More than 279,000 people have signed on to her request to ask the MPAA to change the rating to PG-13, which would broaden the audience significantly by allowing children to see the movie without an adult guardian:
I can't believe the MPAA is blocking millions of teenagers from seeing a movie that could change — and, in some cases, save — their lives. According to the film's website, over 13 million kids will be bullied this year alone. Think of how many of these kids could benefit from seeing this film, especially if it is shown in schools?
… This makes me really mad. It means that a film documenting the abuse that millions of kids experience through bullying won't be seen by the audience that needs to see it the most: middle school students and high school students.
Other organizations, including the National Center for Learning Disabilities, are also advocating for a ratings change. "Bullying is nothing less than a crisis in this country…" wrote James Wendorf, executive director of the National Center for Learning Disabilities, in a statement. "Sixty percent of children with learning disabilities and other special needs say they have been seriously bullied…Until parents understand this crisis and children and teens see and own the consequences of their behavior, there is little hope for improvement."
The Parents Television Council, meanwhile, has expressed its support for the R-rating, although Dan Isett, its director of public policy, told the Los Angeles Times he hasn't yet seen the film. "There's nothing in an R-rating that prevents a child from seeing a movie," Isett said. Nothing aside from the fact that no self-respecting teen is about to set off for the cineplex with Mom and Dad.
(MORE: Why It's So Hard to Tell If Your Kid Is Being Bullied)
Michael Tucker, a filmmaker who successfully appealed the MPAA's R-rating for his Iraq war movie, Gunner Palace, explained on Moviefone that word choice can be essential for impact:
Never mind that in one of the scenes where the F-word is used, a boy is bullied on a school bus by an older boy who also tells the younger that he's going to cut him and assault him with a broom handle. Watching this — and many scenes in the film — you often forget that you are in a middle school and not in a prison yard. These are ugly real threats and the escalation and use of language is essential to the film.
At its heart, "Bully" is about the power of words. To understand what these kids are really experiencing you have to hear the language. Editing or bleeping would be an insult to that experience.
For Kevin Epling, who has a 10-second cameo in Bully as one of several parents who release balloons in memory of children lost to bullying, the debate is clear-cut. When he asked parents who saw the movie at Saturday's film festival whether they would let their children see the movie without them, hands shot up. "Everyone said this needs to be seen by kids today," says Epling. "Sitting and watching the anguish of those parents in the film brought a lot of our anguish back. But out of tragedy can come great hope that we can turn things around."
The ratings controversy has led to the MPAA scheduling a special invitation-only screening and panel discussion on Thursday for Washington, D.C., educators, parents and students; MPAA chairman Chris Dodd, the film's director, Lee Hirsch, and Weinstein are also expected to attend. Weinstein has said he plans to invite Butler and some of the kids who appear in Bully. Perhaps coming face to face with real kids who've faced down real bullies will sway the MPAA. "With their testimony," Weinstein told the L.A. Times, "anything including change is possible in my belief."

Sometimes what you gain in interest, you lose in taxes. Here's how to reconcile the difference with a handy calculator.
As investors, we all want to maximize our returns while minimizing the amount we lose to taxes. Because some investments -- namely, municipal bonds -- offer tax-exempt interest, they're an appealing choice for those looking to profit without increasing their taxable income. But the average tax-free bond typically has a lower yield than its taxable counterparts, so it's important to consider the tax savings involved by calculating the tax-equivalent yield. The tax-equivalent yield is the pre-tax yield that a taxable bond must offer in order to equal the yield of a tax-free bond.
When you receive interest from a municipal bond, your payments are automatically exempt from federal taxes. Furthermore, if you buy municipal bonds issued by the state in which you reside, you won't pay any state or local taxes, either. If you're in a high tax bracket, municipal bonds can be a good way to generate income without increasing your tax burden.
This calculator lets you put in the yield of the tax-free bond you're looking at, as well as your federal marginal tax bracket and your state marginal tax bracket. Once you enter that information, the calculator will let you know what type of yield you'd need to get from a taxable bond to break even.
To refresh your memory, your marginal tax bracket is the rate at which your last, or highest, dollar of income is taxed. So let's say you're looking at a tax-free bond with a 5% yield, your federal marginal tax bracket is 25%, and your state marginal tax bracket is 7%. In this case, your tax-equivalent yield would be 7.168%, which means paying taxes on a bond with that yield would be the same as getting 5% interest tax-free.
While it's a good idea to calculate your tax-equivalent yield when evaluating different investment options, you should also make sure to compare bonds with similar credit ratings. Typically, the lower a bond's rating, the higher its yield is going to be because of the added risk. If you're trying to choose between a municipal bond and a corporate bond, keep the issuer's rating in mind when making your decision. Remember, it's not just about the money you stand to make from interest and the tax implications involved; the risk factor should just as well play a role in your ultimate investment strategy.

Q: Orthogonal trajectory to the family of Parabolas. Problem: The family of curves $y = gs(x), s ∈ S ⊆ R$, is called the orthogonal
trajectories to another given family of curves $y = ft(x), t ∈ T ⊆ R$, if always that a function $gs$ and function $ft$
intersect each other, their respective tangent lines
at the intersection point are perpendicular.
(a) Find the orthogonal trajectories to the family of parabolas $y = αx^2
, α \in R $ numbers
My Work:
$$\frac{dy}{dx} = 2x\alpha$$
$$dy = (2x\alpha)dx$$
Because I want their trajectory to always be perpendicular I replace $(2x\alpha)$ by $-\frac{1}{2x\alpha}$ and then solve.
$$dy = -\frac{1}{2x\alpha} dx$$
$$y = -\frac{ln(x)}{2\alpha} + C$$
Is this correct?
Furthermore, I attempted to solve this problem through another method which did not yield me positive results, perhaps someone could help me finish the idea. I began the problem by stating letting $\alpha = 1$ then
$$y = αx^2 \rightarrow y=x^2$$
because $\alpha$ can be seen as a scalar its role does not play a part on finding anything orthogonal. Next
$$(x, x^2) \cdot (a,b) = 0 $$
$$ ax + bx^2 = 0$$
$$ a = -bx$$
$$(x,x^2) \cdot (-bx,x) = 0$$
Here is where I run into trouble
$$(-bx,x) = 0 $$
$$ bx = x $$
$$b = 1$$ .
I appreciate any feedback/answers/hints. Thank you for your time.

A hot pink house in Hertfordshire where Hollywood royalty — including Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton — partied during the 1930's and 1950's
Lydia Stangroom December 7, 2021

If these pink walls could talk...
The bubblegum pink walls that jut out from under the heavily thatched roof of Little Manor are an acquired taste – the current owner having chosen the rosy hue to honour the houses's original colour and restore it to its former glory — yet it doesn't deter from the charm and character that this property exudes.
On the market with Knight Frank at a guide price of £5 million, the house was once frequented by Hollywood royalty, who would rent the property whilst filming in nearby film studios and throw huge celebrity parties.
Borehamwood saw a rise of film studios in the 20th century which made Little Manor the perfect home from home — and Elizabeth Taylor was one of those who apparently stayed here while filming, as did her on-again-off-again beau Richard Burton. The house's current owner Richard Leigh — who has lived here for a quarter of a century and says 'I still pinch myself that I live here' — told The Times that, 'it was very much a party house in the Thirties, Forties and Fifties' — and beyond then, too, with George Harrison apparently having been a visitor in later years.
Today, traces of Hollywood can still be found — most obviously in the sheer vastness of the property. Like a sprawling mansion in the hills of LA, this house has 10,000 sq ft of accommodation space that centres around entertaining.
The huge open plan kitchen opens up to the terrace and garden through impressive bi-folding doors that blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.
This is reflected upstairs in the master suite, where huge doors seemingly disappear and open up to a terrace with beautiful views over the two acres of garden.
There seem to be two different threads running throughout the house, one where exposed beams, heavily latticed windows and brick work come together with a much more contemporary style, resulting in a unique property that is designed for entertaining.
Little Manor is currently on the market via Knight Frank at a guide price of £5 million — see more pictures, or enquire with the agent for further details.
Borehamwood: What you need to know
Location: In southern Hertfordshire — aka the northern reaches of Greater London — just 12 miles from Charing Cross. Elstree and Borehamwood is the closest station, and there are two London Underground connections: Stanmore runs on the Jubilee line whilst Edgware runs on the Northern line.
Atmosphere: Located within London's commuter belt but surrounded by countryside and farmland with plenty of privacy, the area provides the best of both worlds. Known mostly thanks to Elstree Film Studios, the area has been dubbed 'Britain's Hollywood'.
Things to do: Die hard film fanatics will no doubt take joy from the tours on offer at Elstree Film Studios. For others, the Elstree Aviation Center might tickle your fancy. For the remainder, the close proximity to both countryside and the capital will no doubt delight.
Schools: St Nicholas Elstree Church of England VA Primary School, Broadfields Primary School are both rated 'good' by Ofsted, Yavneh College is rated 'outstanding' and Haberdashers and Aldenham are also both highly regarded.

Great product for people who drop their phone a lot - worth every penny!!
We discovered a total of 156 deleted reviews for this product, with an average rating of 4.6. Even though deleted reviews don't affect the average rating, the fact that action was taken to delete reviews raises some red flags about the integrity of the reviews for the product as whole.
204 of the 1,490 total reviews for this product use substantial repetitive phrases between them. These reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.8 while reviews without substantial repetitive phrases rated this product an average of 4.5. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews.
181 of a random sample of 1,364 reviewers have substantial overlapping product review history. These reviewers have rated this product an average of 4.7 while the reviewers who have a more unique product review history rated this product an average of 4.6. Based on our statistical modeling, the discrepancy in average rating between these two groups is significant enough to believe that the difference is not due to random chance, and may indicate that there are unnatural reviews.
216 of a random sample of 1,364 reviewers have only reviewed this product. While this is more One-Hit Wonders than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
90 of a random sample of 1,364 reviewers have had at least one of their past reviews for another product deleted. While this is more Take-Back Reviewers than we'd expect to see, the discrepancy in ratings between the Take-Back Reviewers and reviewers who don't have any deleted reviews in their history isn't significant enough to rule out the possibility of it being due to random chance.
206 of a random sample of 1,364 reviewers have written multiple reviews but posted all of them on a single day. While this is more Single-Day Reviewers than we'd expect to see, it does not appear to have a significant impact on the overall rating.
We counted 1,490 reviews for this product over the span of 1,201 days, an average of 1.2 reviews per day. If these reviews were created randomly, there would be a 99.9% chance that we would see 6 or fewer reviews on any given day.
In total, we found that 46 reviews were created on just 6 days. This is within an acceptable range and it does not appear to be significantly affecting the overall rating for this product.
142 of the 1,490 total reviews for this product are unverified purchases. This is within an acceptable range and it does not appear to be significantly affecting the overall rating for this product.
129 of a random sample of 1,364 reviewers have reviewed other products for this brand. This is within an acceptable range and it does not appear to be significantly affecting the overall rating for this product.

Q: Numpy append does not allow concatenation Also here are a lot of similar questions around, and one of the best is probably: numpy array concatenate: "ValueError: all the input arrays must have same number of dimensions"
I am getting stucked with my function numpy.append. Here you can find the docs.
My two arrays are:
X_p3 = np.array([[1,2], [3,4], [3,3]])
y_3 = np.array([[1], [1],[1]])

With shapes: X_p3 (3,2)and y_3 (3,1).
If I run: np.append(X_p3, y_3, axis=0)
I receive the error:

ValueError: all the input array dimensions except for the concatenation axis must match exactly

I already tried: np.append(X_p3, y_3.reshape(len(y_3), 2), axis=0) , but this also gives another error. How can I fix this?

A: In my humble opinion, you would probably be better off using numpy.concatenate given that calling numpy.append actually calls numpy.concatenate.
What you would have to do to solve your problem would be:
import numpy as np

np.concatenate([X_p3, y_3], axis=1)

# > array([[1, 2, 1],
# >        [3, 4, 1],
# >        [3, 3, 1]])

For reference, the source code of numpy.append is as such:
def append(arr, values, axis=None):
    arr = asanyarray(arr)
    if axis is None:
        if arr.ndim != 1:
            arr = arr.ravel()
        values = ravel(values)
        axis = arr.ndim-1
    return concatenate((arr, values), axis=axis)

A: try the below one,
import numpy as np
X_p3 = np.array([[1,2], [3,4], [3,3]])
y_3 = np.array([[1], [1],[1]])

concatenate=np.concatenate([X_p3,y_3],axis=1)
print(concatenate)

output:
      [[1 2 1]
      [3 4 1]
      [3 3 1]]

Sebastian Szymański: Feyenoord's new number '10' making a name for himself in Rotterdam – scout report
In the last few years, there has been a resurgence of young talent in the Poland national team setup. One of the more recent entrants into this list is 23-year-old attacking midfielder Sebastian Szymański. The talented Pole came through the youth setup at Legia Warsaw, making his debut for the senior side in 2016.
However, now he is a Feyenoord player after joining them on loan from Dynamo Moscow for the season, with the Rotterdam-based side holding an option to buy the young midfielder. Szymański is tasked with replacing the gaping hole left behind by Guus Til, who was electric last season when on loan from fellow Russian Premier League side Spartak Moscow. The Dutchman had 21 goals and 6 assists across all competitions for Feyenoord; which then netted him a permanent move to fellow Eredivisie side PSV Eindhoven, who are managed by former Manchester United and Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.
This scout report and tactical analysis will take a look at the strengths of Szymański, and how he may fit into Arne Slot's side.
The heat map above shows the typical positions that Szymański operated in during his time with Dynamo Moscow. When playing under Sandro Schwarz in the Russian capital, he was deployed as the right central midfielder in a 4-3-3 formation, which is the reason behind most of his positioning being in the right attacking half of the pitch. He also drifted into a central position and played as the most advanced of the three central midfielders during his time in Moscow.
Now in Rotterdam, Szymański will likely be deployed as the central attacking midfielder in Arne Slot's preferred 4-2-3-1 system. In fact, during the first game of the Eredivisie season last weekend, this is where Szymański played, and he contributed two assists. With the losses of Guus Til to PSV Eindhoven and Luis Sinisterra to Leeds United, Szymański will be relied on to help replace the production of Feyenoord's two star men from last season.
Range of passing
When looking at the underlying stats of Sebastian Szymański's game, as well as how he plays, his range of passing should be considered his greatest strength. During his time with Dynamo Moscow, Szymański attempted 37.67 passes per 90 with a 78.5% success rate. He also attempts long line-breaking passes a significant amount of the time, with 3.25 long passes attempted per 90 at a success rate of 56.7%.
Being a central attacking midfielder, Szymański is also tasked with advancing the ball into the final third, something he also does well. During his time in Moscow, the Pole attempted 5.76 passes to the final third per 90, with a success rate of 70.6%. This section will take a more detailed look at some examples of the vision and passing range of Sebastian Szymański.
The image above shows an example of the vision and range of passing that Sebastian Szymański possesses. Off a Dynamo Moscow goal kick, the ball is headed back towards Szymański by an opposition player. With the Polish midfielder getting closed down, he takes a touch to keep the ball in the air before sending a half-volley pass through the opposition midfield and defensive lines and into the path of his teammate.
In this sequence of play as well, Szymański is constantly scanning and looking for passing options, which showcases his vision on the ball, as well as quick decision-making to attempt to complete a difficult pass such as this one.
The image above is able to demonstrate the first-touch passing ability of Sebastian Szymański, as well as his vision again to notice the space to pass into. In this phase of play against FC Sochi, Szymański has put pressure on the opposition midfielder, winning the ball back as a result.
Before he is even able to comfortably gather possession, he notices the midfielder stepping up, and the fullback out of position, which allows the space in behind to open up. Szymański is able to send the ball in behind into the space, while still essentially wrestling with the opposition midfielder. This leads to an assist for Szymański, with the attacker able to drive into the box and score.
The image above shows another example of Szymański's ability to pick out teammates. In the phase of play above, Dynamo Moscow looked to counterattack quickly after an opposition free kick. Szymański noticed the run of the player through the middle and played the ball at the correct time to prevent the attacker from being offside. The ensuing ball from the midfielder is perfectly played into the forward's path, with him able to run onto it before being 1v1 against the goalkeeper and scoring.
Arne Slot is getting a highly-creative young midfielder to replace Guus Til, with the range of passing of Szymański similar to the Dutchman's. In fact, the Polish midfielder's range of passing is already on display in Rotterdam, with two assists in Feyenoord's first match of the season against Vitesse.
Not just an attacking midfielder
Though Sebastian Szymański's main role is as a number 10, tasked with creating chances and being heavily involved in the attacking third of the pitch, he also puts in a shift defensively as well. During his time in Moscow playing under German manager Sandro Schwarz, Szymański was asked to play more like an '8' at times, which allowed him to round out his game and become more of a box-to-box midfielder. During his spell with Dynamo Moscow, Szymański averaged 8.41 defensive duels per 90 minutes, winning 61.1% of them.
The phase of play above shows an example of the type of defensive work rate that Sebastian Szymański possesses. This is an example of a perfectly-timed slide tackle from the young Polish midfielder to knock the ball away from the attacker, preventing the opposition forward from continuing to run forward into the vacant space.
What is not shown is the recovery run that Szymański made as well to get back and make an attempt to win possession back. He was able to track the attacker from all the way back in the opposition's defensive third, displaying his fantastic defensive work rate.
The image above shows an example of the strength that Szymański also possesses when it comes to the defensive side of his game. With the CSKA Moscow player in possession on the touchline, Szymański tracks back and goes into the challenge shoulder-to-shoulder with the attacker. He is able to use his superior strength to win the ball off the opposition player fairly, which allows the Polish midfielder to then start a counter-attacking sequence for Dynamo Moscow near the midfield area.
When it comes to the defensive side of Sebastian Szymański's game, it will be another useful asset for Arne Slot to utilise. Szymański's ability to play as more of a box-to-box midfielder at times will surely be useful when Arne Slot looks to possibly switch up his tactics at times, with it possible that Szymański could be played as one of the two deeper lying midfielders in Feyenoord's 4-2-3-1 formation, especially with Fredrik Aursnes being heavily linked with a departure to SL Benfica this summer.
Movement off the ball
The difference between being a good attacking midfielder and a great one sometimes comes down to the player's off-the-ball movement. When an attacking midfielder is able to recognise the pockets of space to move into consistently, they then are able to more often create goal-scoring chances. This final section will take a look at the off-the-ball movements of Sebastian Szymański.
The image above shows the types of movement that Sebastian Szymański is capable of to find the pockets of space that allow him to progress the ball. In the phase of play above, Szymański plays a pass to the other midfielder, which results in a 2v1 in Dynamo Moscow's favour. The Polish midfielder notices the space between the midfield and defensive lines and moves into it. The subsequent pass is played to him and the attacking sequence is able to continue.
The image above again demonstrates the intelligent movements that Sebastian Szymański tends to make when trying to find pockets of space to receive the ball. Szymański waits until the defender commits and moves out of his position before running into the vacant space left behind by the defender. The ensuing pass is played towards his run but ,unfortunately, the pass is not good enough and it is intercepted by the covering defender.
This final example is actually from Szymański's first game for Feyenoord this season, but the same trends appear. The midfielder is able to notice the space between the two closest Vitesse defenders and runs through them, making himself an unmarked passing option in an advanced position. While the ball to him is overhit, it still shows the lengths that Szymański will go to in order to become an advanced passing option for his teammates.
This scout report has shown some of the strengths that are most prevalent in Sebastian Szymański. While Szymański was one of the best players on the Dynamo Moscow side, it will be slightly different with this Feyenoord side. This analysis has also given a glimpse into how Szymański may fit into the tactics used by Arne Slot. With two assists to his name already in the first match of the season for the Rotterdam-based side, it looks like he may fit in quite nicely.

What would my guests think ? Is this on trend? Would my best friend approve?
When you approach either your home or milestone celebration with this in mind, you'll never be able to create an experience that is purposeful and embraces who you truly are.
Between information overload on social media and societal expectations, the design process can feel overwhelming and endless.
The good news is that you can now be at peace because the process has just been facilitated with Claudia's recent launch, Endlessly Lush, Design & Planning studio specializing in Bespoke Interiors & Events. She has just made the process of personalization filled with excitement and unlimited options to allow people to showcase and infuse their personalities through experiences that cultivate incredible design. She does not miss a single beat and puts her heart into every step of the process, while being committed to providing excellent customer experiences tailored to the individual.
With a former background in Interior Design & Architecture in New York City, Claudia decided to expand her artistry and make headlines in the Events industry to continue providing exceptional experiences for people in New York City and Florida. She founded the studio with the desire to curate all-encompassing design experiences that celebrate self-expression and passion. Her goal is to transform surroundings with a design approach that highlights purpose, distinction, and beauty through an all-encompassing design experience. She empowers individuals to embrace their sense of self and bring to life their vision of the lifestyle they desire. People are her inspiration as she seeks to translate their story by artfully integrating the light and airy; luxury and essential; modern and poetic. In the endl, she brings a poetic air to any story she's telling through her work.
In case you were curious, she often finds her inspiration in art installations throughout NYC; couture fashion, iconic architecture, and eclectic furniture designs often found through her search for Interior Design projects. When she's not curating Events nor Interiors, she's rather decompressing through the transcendent power of music. She's not a songwriter, nor a instrumentist. Claudia is a spectator searching for an eclectic blend of melodic tunes and groovier house and techno. "Nothing keeps me more awake than music", Claudia exclaimed.
"Many people often ask for my style, but I don't fall within a specific category. My creations are effortlessly elegant. Complemented by the things they love the most". Each space is meant to reflect the client's personality while maintaining a high degree of artistry and sophistication", Claudia affirms.


Using a flathead screwdriver and needle-nose pliers I removed the polka dot fabric from the top and the black from the bottom. Try to clean the fabric in good shape it will help when it comes time to measure the new fabric. I gave it two coats of the Fortune DecoArt Chalky Finish paint (lightly sanding with a 220 grit paper between coats) and two coats of DecoArt Soft-Touch Varnish.
I was all over San Francisco searching for the perfect black and white geometric print. After taking a few days thinking I would have to change my vision I popped back into my favorite fabric store and there it was! I did a base layer of muslim and tacked a black breathable fabric to the underside before I adding the print.
I created a thin band to decoratively cover the staples by cutting a long strip, 105"L x 1.5"W, with the right sides of the fabric together I sewed the long edges together. Next take a safety pin, clip it to one side and feed it through, inching along until the pin comes out the other end the the fabric is right side out. I pressed it flat and tacked it to the bench with upholstery glue. To give it that final bit of glam I added the gold nail heads by simply tapping them in with a rubber mallet. I got lucky and the print on the fabric spaces are one inch.
I really enjoyed this project and I hope you all did too! It was so exciting to participate in the February Fab Furniture Flippin' Contest. Stop by this months featured contest hosts – Carrie from Thirty Eight Street and Charlotte from Ciburbanity to see more!
