Sam Darnold sounds off on trolling fans and ghosts

This NFL scenario would be fever dream for Giants, Jets fans
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — A few days before Halloween, the ghost references were out at TIAA Bank Field.
The Jaguars and their fans had fun at the expense of Jets quarterback Sam Darnold, who was caught saying he was "seeing ghosts" last week while mic'd up against the Patriots on "Monday Night Football."
About two hours before kickoff Sunday, a plane circled the stadium with a banner that read, "Gardner Minshew ain't afraid of no ghosts."
Then, the Jaguars' mascot came out with a sheet on, mimicking a ghost costume. There were ghost signs and masks all over the stadium.
Darnold played poorly, throwing three interceptions Sunday in a 29-15 loss to the Jaguars. That led to the Jaguars' final jab at him. During the two-minute warning, they played the theme from "Ghostbusters" in the stadium and showed his interceptions on the scoreboard.
Darnold said he was not bothered by any of it.
"It is what it is. It didn't affect me," Darnold said. "It's just a silly thing for social media and fans to be able to try to use it against you. But for me, I was just playing bad because I did. I just wasn't executing out there, I wasn't putting the balls where they needed to be and — it wasn't about that, though."
Darnold can expect the ghost treatment at all opposing stadiums until he plays well enough for people to forget about the moment last Monday.

this is the last update of our paper, you will ever see.
You are doing a fantastic job, mate. Keep it up for the final stage.
Really looking forward to hearing your report from Malta!!
Keep the good work Matthias!!
The development of technology is increasingly rapid, with technology, everything will be very instant and easy as the presence of crypto makes it happen. I see Europe coin has a good system for managing finances in a network system, and the advantages of this product we can buy gold or silver for investment. It seems like this will be interesting if this project will be successful.
And you do not care that there is only one pool for extraction?
Thus, the coin is vulnerable.
- we are having a protection against low mining rates and even against total collapse of such.
TWO threads instead of the usual ONE thread. These two threads are measuring on two different points and are checking against each other.
In that way they are able to detect hash-rate-anomalies. They can detect a to low hashrate as well as a to fast increasing hashrate.
2) in case of a drop, it is activating a cloud of mini-mining threads located in each and any wallet, to keep the blockchain moving.
attractive enough, to negotiate with them. Best moment to advertise listing is, if you are going up and they can expect decent profit.
Most coins had an ICO and are mostly buying into these exchanges or pools (which is ok), but as a takeover project, we do not have that option.
- in terms of this market situation, i do not feel, we should worry to much at this point, given our first public presentation of the FINANCECLOUD API is in 7 weeks.
I am confident that the FINANCECLOUD API will, as soon as published, convince the world enough to give us our position and adoption, we deserve.
As a takeover project, that is to 100% financed by my personal funds, of course any help, other than money is highly appreciated.
So if you are having any connections or partnerships, to get us listed on either pools or exchanges, we are more than happy to collaborate.
just pick one of our partners randomly and feel free to ask any of them about their experiences.
we already posted about the start of our negotiation with the ELEGRO Gateway Company.
We today successfully agreed on a deep partnership including.
first development meeting will be on Monday, to get thhe integration done till the first of November.
Yes i am really excited about this detail.
now finalizing CAT-files and sending them to our manufacturer.
This probably goes without saying, but I hope you prepare your presentation well. I honestly don't mean to belittle you in anyway! It's just that this Cryptonaire's post from 3 months back - I think it's still relevant every now and then. Obviously I (and you and probably nobody) wants it to kill presentation, that there's too much info stuffed into it.

Mortgage relief comes to California as thousands face foreclosure
by: Sonseeahray Tonsall, Jonathan Taraya
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — The nation's biggest effort to help homeowners who are struggling to pay their mortgage because of the pandemic is underway in California.
The effort is called the California Mortgage Relief Program, and those who are in need can begin applying for federal funds on Wednesday.
Owning a home is a key part of the American dream, but missed work due to lingering illness, reduced work hours and outright job loss tied to the COVID-19 pandemic the last two years have made it hard for people to achieve that dream.
California launches mortgage relief program to help homeowners: Who qualifies, how to apply
According to housing officials, hundreds of thousands of homeowners across California are facing housing instability.
"Twelve percent of California homeowners are facing foreclosure and 6% percent are behind on mortgage payments due to the pandemic," said Consumer Services and Housing Agency Secretary Lourdes Castro Ramirez.
The California Mortgage Relief Program will cover past-due home bills in full as a one-time grant of up to $80,000 per household.
The payments will be made directly to the servicer of a given homeowner's mortgage and no repayment will be required.
The architect of it all, Congresswoman Maxine Waters, D-Los Angeles, fought for $10 billion to be included in the American Rescue Plan President Biden pushed just for this purpose.
Californians will benefit from the biggest state pool in the country, $1 billion.
"I was so very worried that while we were doing forbearance and people were not be able to pay and not forced to pay their mortgages for maybe several months and the devil would come due," Waters said.
These are the top 10 states people moved to – and left – in 2021, study finds
Focused on low-to-moderate income homeowners, applicants must have missed at least two payments and their household income must be at or below 100% of their county's area median income.
"No homeowner, no homeowner should go homeless due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic," said California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation Commissioner Clothilde Hewlett.
As many as 40,000 Californians may be eligible and state officials told FOX40 that the tough lessons learned during California's distribution of rent relief funds have been taken into consideration so the effort runs smoothly.
The California Mortgage Relief Program website has a "frequently asked questions" section for homeowners who want additional information about the program.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California's unemployment rate dipped a half-percentage point in December as the most populous state added 50,700 nonfarm jobs, accounting for more than a quarter of the nation's 199,000 job growth for the month, according to new data released Friday.
The state has now regained nearly 72% of the 2.7 million jobs it lost in the early months of the pandemic when Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom imposed the nation's first statewide stay-at-home order in the spring of 2020 to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

A Vancouver (Not Whistler Mountain Vancouver, but the Vancouver, WA near PDX airport) dance company from Groove Nation studio entered a competition last month–with a routine that choreographer Julio Fuentes set to 8 minutes of K-Pop music.
What Fuentes didn't expect is that the little video of his teens dancing their hearts out in a gym would suddenly take off globally. It quickly went viral in South Korea, and currently has 515,143 views.
What's more, YouTube's trendwatchers report that Groove Nation's second performance, posted two days ago, was among the Most Shared Videos in South Korea, as well as one of the most watched videos among South Korean girls ages 13-17. It already has nearly 22,000 views.
Ya gotta hand it to South Koreans–they know how to give 'net love. Which has me thinking… JEN, GRAB YOUR LEOTARD. WE'RE MAKING A K-POP DANCE VIDEO!

Seriously, this is not okay. Canada is stealing our summer!!
Okay, Canada isn't technically "stealing" our summer, but the high pressure from our neighbors to the north is definitely messing with our weather.
Cool, crisp, fall-like weather returns Tuesday as high pressure settles in from Canada. Drier, less humid weather will blow into the region on gusty northwest winds and afternoon high temperatures will be in the mid 70s.
We'll have bright sunshine and highs in the 70s through Friday before a few thunderstorms look to return later Saturday and for parts of Sunday."
U.S. Climate Data shows that we'll continue to feel cool throughout the rest of the week too, and this certainly isn't typical for August in Minnesota.
The coolest Minnesota State Fair was during the six-day run of the Fair from September 5-10 1898 with an average maximum temperature of 64.2 degrees. The coldest maximum temperature for the Fair is 52 degrees on September 7, 1911, and the coldest minimum temperature is 33 degrees on September 13, 1890. The coolest Fair morning in recent years was a chilly 36 degrees on September 1, 1974."
Be prepared to bring a cardigan this year! Oh, and you can totally blame Canada while you're at it.

Home Politics Fayose's deputy, Olusola, emerges Ekiti PDP governorship candidate
Fayose's deputy, Olusola, emerges Ekiti PDP governorship candidate
*Olusola
The deputy governor of Ekiti State, Prof. Kolapo Olusola has been elected as the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the for the state's gubernatorial election slated for July 14, 2018.
Olusola polled a total of 1,191votes to defeat his rival, former national publicity secretary of the PDP caretaker committee, Mr. Dayo Adeyeye, who collected 770 votes in the governorship primary election, held in Ado Ekiti yesterday.
The third aspirant and senator representing Ekiti South, Abiodun Olujimi, had earlier stepped down for Adeyeye.
She had urged her supporters to cast their votes for Adeyeye as the preferred candidate for the July 14 governorship election.
The primary election was conducted across all the 26 local government areas of the state amid heavy security presence.
More than 2,000 delegates were said to have participated in the exercise.
The delegates were made up of 1,585 statutory members of the party, and 547 national ad-hoc committee members.
However, 1, 966 delegates were accredited.
After voting, Olujimi expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the primary.
She commended the chairman of the election committee and Governor of Delta State, Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, for bringing experience to bear on the primary.
"The process is well arranged; you know Governor Okowa is a veteran. We are pleased that there is a very wide opportunity for transparency. We will be pleased with the result because we have done our best.
Giving reasons for stepping down for Adeyeye, she said: "We had a party where we didn't have a voice, where everything was lorded over us.
"We needed to take the party back to the people and the only way we can do this is not to have an anointed candidate."
In his acceptance speech, Olusola, an indigene of Ikere Ekiti in the South senatorial district of the state, thanked the delegates for counting him worthy and expressed gratitude to Adeyeye for exhibiting high volume of dexterity and courage throughout the period the pre-primary election.
He also praised the governor, Mr. Ayo Fayose for standing by him and vowed to defeat the candidate of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the election.
In his remarks, Fayose commended the election's committee for doing a good job as well as Adeyeye and Olujimi for their spirit of sportsmanship.
"I appreciate God and thank the committee for doing a good job. I thank Prince Adeyeye and Senator Olujimi for their courage.
"In journeys like this, there would be a divide. They are leaders of the party irrespective of what has happened before this primary.
"They should join hands with the party to win the ultimate, which is the July 14 election. I commend all the delegates for exercising their civic right.
"I will reach out to Prince Adeyeye and Senator Olujimi and personally visit them. I appeal to them in the overall interest of the party to work for our common goal."
Fayose urged all the political parties to emulate the PDP in organising a peaceful, credible, free and fair primary.
In his remarks, Okowa commended Adeyeye, who had left before the official declaration of the results, for his spirit of sportsmanship.
Earlier, Adeyeye had remarked that he was satisfied with the conduct of the primary.
"I'm satisfied; the whole exercise has been fair, free and transparent. Whoever wins, we would join hands together," he said.

Top 5 Live-Thursday November 19
Top 5 Live-WURD Thursday November 19
1. Nearly 50 killed within 24 hours in multiple Nigerian terror attacks
Multiple attacks less than 24 hours apart left at least 49 dead in Nigeria on Wednesday, a day after Boko Haram was named the world's deadliest terror group.
At least 15 were killed and more than 100 wounded Wednesday in the northern town of Kano after two suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a busy market. Those attacks came less than a day after 34 people were killed and 80 wounded in an explosion at a market in the northeastern city of Yola late Tuesday.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attacks, but the incidents bore the hallmarks of Boko Haram, which is attempting to create an Islamic caliphate, or state, in Nigeria. The group pledged allegiance to the Islamic State earlier this year.
The attacks broke a three-week hiatus in bombings.
The Global Terrorism Index said Boko Haram was responsible for 6,644 deaths in 2014, a one-year increase of 317%. The Nigerian terror group overtook the Islamic State, which was responsible for the deaths of 6,073 people, according to the report published Tuesday by the Global Peace Institute.
2. GOP presses Obama, Wolf to reconsider refugee plan
The debate over Syrian refugees brought new proposals to block their arrival in the United States. Republicans introduced a bill to halt the U.S. resettlement program for Syrians and Iraqis until tighter screening is added. President Obama vowed to veto it.
Pressure for action also built at the state level. A Syrian family headed to Indiana was reportedly rerouted to Connecticut after Indiana Gov. Mike Pence said his state would not accept them. In Pennsylvania, which has accepted more Syrians for resettlement than all but a few states, 10 Congressmen and more than 100 state lawmakers urged Gov. Wolf to halt the influx of refugees. Wolf rejected their call.
The debate centers on the Obama administration's pledge to admit 10,000 Syrian refugees. Syrians endure the most rigorous screening of any traveler to the U.S. – an 18-24 month process involving defense, law enforcement and intelligence agencies, administration officials contend. Republicans say the vetting is not enough to ensure terrorists don't slip through.
3. Bar chancellors call for independent review of porn emails
The leader of the Philadelphia Bar Association on Wednesday called for an independent investigation to reveal "once and for all" the full story of the exchange of pornography among defense lawyers, prosecutors and judges.
Many are distressed by how the state Supreme Court, the Judicial Conduct Board and Attorney General Kathleen Kane have handled the porn controversy.
Critics say Kane, who originally discovered the porn in emails on her office's computer servers, has been arbitrary in selectively naming officials involved in the exchanges.
At the same time, the high court and the judicial panel have been rocked by criticism that they whitewashed offensive emails of Supreme Court Justice Michael Eakin, dismissing misogynistic and racist material as being only "mildly pornographic" and "unremarkable."
4. Teacher shortage in Phila. schools yields vacancies in hundreds of classrooms
Two and a half months into the school year, 136 teacher vacancies remain in the Philadelphia School District. Some of the jobs have been unfilled since September.
Both the district and the teachers' union agree: Combined with a substitute teaching situation that leaves hundreds of short- and long-term jobs unfilled every day, there are too many students who lack stability in their classrooms.
"The effect on kids is huge," said Jerry Jordan, president of the Philadelphia Federation of Teachers. Jordan attributes the problem to a management failure and to poor working conditions for teachers.
He and Arlene Kempin, the PFT vice president responsible for working with the district on human-resources issues, say they have never seen this many vacancies this late in the year, that in prior school terms, human-resources officials were by this point already focused on next year's hiring needs.
5. Minneapolis police shooting stirs old racial tensions
The fatal shooting of an unarmed black man by a Minneapolis police officer has pushed racial tensions in the city's small but concentrated minority community to the fore, with a police precinct besieged by a makeshift encampment and hundreds of protesters.
Police have tried to improve race relations in recent years. But some community activists say racial disparities — high unemployment rates for blacks, a disproportionate number of arrests for minor crimes and inequities in housing and the school system — have been going on for so long that Sunday's shooting of Jamar Clark — and the reaction from the community — was no surprise.
"We call Minneapolis a tale of two cities: The best of times if you're white, and worst of times if you're black," said Nekima Levy-Pounds, president of the Minneapolis chapter of the NAACP, and one of 42 people arrested when protesters shut down an interstate highway Monday night.

I liked the way it turned out - so I made two. Both are destined for the Operation Write Home basket (only 48 more to go to meet my 2013 goal). I have a few more ideas using this technique so I might hide away in my studio a wee bit longer.
Button and felt (the best in town!) also from Papertrey Ink.
I didn't send out many Christmas cards this year - just ran out of time. Instead I opted to send out some 2013 calendars. I made couple different versions. The original inspiration came from one of the Papertrey Ink designers but I can't seem to find the link (sorry).
Don't you just love the colors aqua and coral together! Buttons and bows - can't go wrong.
My mother-in-law was so delighted when she received her new year's surprise in the mail.
Hope you had a great start to the new year!
Well I'm agreeing with your husband, your cards should be framed! Such a beautiful verse on a card filled with lovely flourishes. And those special calendars! Simply art!
I linked to you from the PTI blog...your cards are beautiful! How nice that you will be sending them to OWH (I'm a big fan, too). I really LOVE your calendars, too! I think it was very practical to do that instead of Christmas cards which 'might be' tossed. Thanks so much for your inspiration!!!
Thank you so much for your gracious comment and for supporting our troops too!

Batman: Every Screen Batmobile Ranked From Best To Worst
2. Batmobile - The Brave And The Bold
Rather than trying to break out as a new Batman cartoon by doing a new twist on the Animated Series, The Brave And The Bold went one better. It decided to pretend that it had never happened, sticking its fingers in it ears and running away shouting into a world where Bruce Wayne doesn't really exist, his tragic origin story is rarely mentioned, and Batman spends the majority of his time as a wisecracking, proper superhero teaming up with obscure DC characters to take down equally esoteric supervillains. It's one of our favourite depictions of Batman, a welcome rest from the constant brooding and sad faces, letting him just cut loose and have a bit of a laugh whilst tossing batarangs into Mirror Master's face rather than thinking about how every bad guy he captures makes up for his dead parents. We're big fans of Batman: The Brave And The Bold, just in case that wasn't clear. Which means that it's with an exceptionally heavy heart that we have to lay in so harshly to its Batmobile. Because its dreadful. Truly, truly awful. We would've been happier with the Dark Knight hot tailing it everywhere by foot, or else using Gotham's surprisingly good public transportation system. Anything that doesn't involve carting himself around in a bungled CGI mobile with his own face plastered at the front of it like a narcissistic cow gate. The Brave And The Bold car does the same trick of Dawn Of Justice, taking inspiration from previous Batmobiles, but does it terribly: the front looks silly, as does the fin cribbed from the Schumacher films, and don't get us started on the half-inched domed windscreen from the West car. When Adam was behind it, it looked wonderfully sixties and camp. Here it looks like a couple of translucent tits. And not in a good way.

Summer B.O. Blame Game Has Already Started
By Celluloid Junkie Staff | August 21, 2009 1:51 am PDT
Apparently the stars are to blame for not delivering more hits this summer, which appropriately enough finished this past weekend with the star-less sci fi film District 9 taking the top spot. Not that it was a bad summer, since early reports indicate that there is a year-on-year increase for 2009 so far. It is just that the hits were not delivered by the actors with $20m pay packets, according to the New York Times:
The gradual trend away from big-star vehicles in the summer has been under way for years.
At the start of the decade, summer still belonged to names: Cruise ("Mission Impossible II"), Crowe ("Gladiator") and Clooney ("The Perfect Storm") were the top three in 2000. But the three biggest films of this summer season, a crucial period from May 1 to Labor Day that typically accounts for 40 percent of annual ticket sales, have been "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," "Up" and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
The fading ability of Hollywood stars to command box-office attention, and why that is happening, has been a perennial topic in Hollywood. And economists and academics have long argued that marquee names are not worth their expense.
The biggest names attached to those films: Shia LaBoeuf, Ed Asner and Daniel Radcliffe.
So are the studios going to stop using stars? No, they will simply ask them to take a pay cut as they always have. And further into the article the blame falls on social networking and Twitter – as discussed below.

"When I had reached a certain grade of advancement it was my great fortune to become associated with the immortal Franz Liszt. I consider Liszt the greatest man I have ever met. By this I mean that I have never met, in any other walk of life, a man with the mental grasp, splendid disposition and glorious genius. This may seem a somewhat extravagant statement. I have met many, many great men, rulers, jurists, authors, scientists, teachers, merchants and warriors, but never have I met a man in any position whom I have not thought would have proved the inferior of Franz Liszt, had Liszt chosen to follow the career of the man in question. Liszt's personality can only be expressed by one word, 'colossal.' He had the most generous nature of any man I have ever met. He had aspirations to become a great composer, greater than his own measure of his work as a composer had revealed to him. The dire position of Wagner presented itself. He abandoned his own ambitions— ambitions higher than those he ever held toward piano virtuosity—abandoned them completely to champion the difficult cause of the great Wagner. What Liszt suffered to make this sacrifice, the world does not know. But no finer example of moral heroism can be imagined. His conversations with me upon the subject were so intimate that I do not care to reveal one word.
"The main idea being to reach the embryo of Chopin's thought and by artistic insight divine the connotation of that thought, as nearly as possible in the light of the treatment Chopin has given it.
The Future of Pianoforte Music.
An interesting question that frequently arises in musical circles relates to the future possibilities of the art of composition in its connection with the pianoforte. Not a few have some considerable apprehension regarding the possible dearth of new melodic material and the technical and artistic treatment of such material. "I do not think that there need be any fear of a lack of original melodic material or original methods of treating such material. The possibilities of the art of musical composition have by no means been exhausted. While I feel that in a certain sense, very difficult to illustrate with words, one great 'school' of composition for the pianoforte ended with Liszt and the other in Brahms, nevertheless I can but prophesy the arising of many new and wonderful schools in the future. I base my prophecy upon the premises of frequent similiar (sic) conditions during the history of musical art." These are Reisenauer's views upon this matter.
As to American composers, Reisenauer is so thoroughly and enthusiastically won over by MacDowell that he has not given the other composers sufficient attention to warrant a critical opinion. I found upon questioning, that he had made a genuinely sincere effort to find new material in America, but he said that outside of MacDowell, he found nothing but indifferently good salon-music. With the works of several American composers he was, however, unfamiliar. He has done little or nothing himself as a composer and declared that it was not his forte.
Reisenauer says: "American musical taste is in many ways astonishing. Many musicians who came to America prior to the time of Thomas and Damrosch returned to Europe with what were, no doubt, true stories of the musical conditions in America at that time. These stories were given wide circulation in Europe, and it is difficult for Europeans to understand the cultured condition of the American people at the present time. America can never thank Dr. Leopold Damrosch and Theodore Thomas enough for their unceasing labors. Thanks to the impetus that they gave the movement, it is now possible to play programs in almost any American city that are in no sense different from those one is expected to give in great European capitals. The status of musical education in the leading American cities is surprisingly high. Of course the commercial element necessarily affects it to a certain extent; but in many cases this is not as injurious as might be imagined. The future of music in America seems very roseate to me and I can look back to my American concert tours with great pleasure.

Port of Entry
La Familia Es Todo
Phone dialing Pablo Clip 42 Hi, my name is Pablo I'm with PCI party, with the public health department. BEAT Pablo Clip 43 The reason why I'm calling is because we were notified that you were exposed to someone who has suspected of having COVID or has tested positive for COVID-19…. Pablo Clip 44 Um, are you aware of this? BEAT Contact tracing calls like this one have been happening a lot since the start of the pandemic….in cities and towns all across the world. And... here at the border, obviously, it's a lot more effective if the caller speaks more than just English. Pablo Clip 8 You know, they feel more comfortable when someone speaks to them in Spanish…. This is Pablo Ramos. He grew up on both sides of the border, in Tijuana and Los Angeles. His parents are actually undocumented. Pablo Clip 8 And it's not like. Like, um, someone who just learned Spanish as someone who understands the culture and where they're coming from and has lived through, through what they've lived through as well. Pablo is one of a small army of bilingual contact tracers here at the border… Folks who contract with the county's public health department to help to try to stop the virus from spreading among the region's Spanish speakers. BEAT Sometimes, though....people who pick up Pablo's calls think he's part of some kind of weird scam.. But Pablo… He's actually gotten pretty good at earning their trust… Especially when the people on the other side of the line find out he speaks fluent Spanish...proper border slang and all. Pablo Clip 31 Oh, definitely. Yeah. I mean, some people, I mean, they've even said it. They're like, yeah, there's this person that called me in English and I just didn't feel like I was, I was going to be able to trust them. And then I talk to them in Spanish now and, you know, I'll joke around with them. And, and you know, when I'm asking some questions and you know, we, we have a couple of laughs here and there and, you know, and then they open up and they're really friendly and they're really thankful that we're taking the time to really understand what they're going through. Um, see how we can help them, um, and just be there to listen because sometimes they just want somebody to listen to and, and rant because you know, this pandemic has not been easy for anybody. Colin Clip 21 I always joke with my patients "Soy Mexicano" because I can say two words of Spanish, you know? This is Colin Smyth. Colin Clip 21 And, uh, you know, they make fun of it. They make fun of me. If you're willing to get made fun of, then I, you know, it builds trust. I definitely think that, Colin is a nurse in San Diego. Colin Clip 26.5 I work at the hospitals there and, um, I worked in many COVID units for the past year, but I'm actually a float nurse, meaning I go to all the different units, but the last year has been pure. COVID pretty much. So yeah...Colin's jobs are in San Diego…. But...he actually moved to Mexico a few years ago and crosses the border to go to work. And Colin often finds himself leaning heavily on what little Spanish he's learned by living south of the border. BEAT Colin Clip 5 I would need to employ my Spanish skills. Like I can get through a day with the simplest directions with the patient, uh, Spanish. My Spanish is at that point, it's still terrible. Don't get me wrong. Uh, grammatically, I don't even want to know how bad I sound, but they, I could give them basic directions. BEAT Colin told me a story about one of his Spanish-speaking COVID patients… He says the man's experience echoes a lot of moments he spent with Spanish-speaking folks who were separated from their families and friends… alone and scared in a hospital where no one spoke their language… Colin was using his best broken Spanish to convince this patient to lay on his stomach instead of his back… It might seem like a strange request, but it's actually a common technique that has a big impact in getting oxygen levels to shoot back up quickly. Colin Clip 22 His anxiety was just so high, uh, just super, super high. And, you know, you said he was entirely Spanish speaking and, um, I had to like sit there and talk with this guy for 15 minutes to calm his anxiety and talk to him about regular things. Colin Clip 23 In that 15 minutes of time that you spent talking about, I don't care, Rosarito...Tijuana...what the food is like, you know, like that little bit of time. BEAT Colin Clip 23 And it makes them look at you as a person and not just a nurse. Um, who's just doing their job. And if you do that, that's everything, you know, if they believe you're you actually want them to get better than they are now ready to do everything you ask them to do. Colin Clip 23 It Builds trust. BEAT Building trust... A lot of the plan to beat this pandemic relies on health officials gaining the public's trust... And...people like Pablo and Colin… They're just two tiny pieces of this huge, complicated puzzle that is battling a virus at the border…. A place where trust….sometimes requires translation. BEAT On the U.S. side of the border… The Mexican-American community has been hit hard by the pandemic. ….disproportionately hard… BEAT So many Latin people have gotten sick..died…lost jobs… BEAT There are lots of reasons why the Mexican-American community is getting hit so hard… Big and deep rooted social, economic and systemic issues are at play. But a big part of the problem comes back to that trust. Jose Clip 30 you know, there, there's so many, so many factors that I think are against, against our culture, for sure. Um, and not even only that, but also even talking within our own family discussing. The vaccine and how they're, they're being spread so much in misinformation on social media or they're being, they're being told something to be scared of at the government's trying to like, you know, do things to them. And, you know, it's like, it's a vaccine the doctors know better, you know, then your friend from around the corner who called to tell you something... BEAT From KPBS and PRX, this is Port of Entry. Where we tell cross-border stories...that connect us... I'm Alan Lilienthal… Today..We've got a story about one border family's battle with COVID-19… It's a Mexican-American family who's hoping their story might be able to help other families like theirs rebuild trust in their families AND in the public health system that's trying to reach them. MIDROLL 1SILENCE OK...so...I want to tell you about Santiago Covarrubias… Santiago sounds like he could be my homie….because he loved to cook. SOUND: BROTHERS COOKING And, like me, He also loved to sing... SOUND: Santiago Singing Carmen Clip 9 So that was his absolute passion… This is Carmen Covarrubias...Santiago's daughter. Carmen Clip 9 You know, he had mariachi and he always sang. you know, when we were younger, he would go in the bathroom and he'd have a little karaoke machine and he'd start recording, you know? And when that red light was on in the bathroom, we could not disturb. Laughs. BEAT Santiago was a big man with a loud, booming voice… A little intimidating if you didn't know him personally… But actually…. Carmen Clip 8 My dad was like a big Teddy bear, you know? Carmen Clip 11 He was just a great man. You know, he was, he was a good, good man. Um, I can go on and on and on, but we'll sit here for like five hours talking about my dad, Carmen Clip 29 He was definitely our rock of our family. BEAT OK...so… the Covarrubias family… They're a big family centered in Chula Vista…a city in San Diego County just twenty minutes north of the U.S.-Mexico border... And..like a lot of Mexican-American families here… They have members on both sides of the wall… And despite the border between them...the family is super close…. Cousins are really more like siblings… Carmen Clip 24 We grew up very tight, very close, always at one another's homes. Big family get-togethers filled with lots of laughter and Mariachi singalongs are sorta their thing. BEAT Santiago Covarrubias was one of the patriarchs of the family…. And, he was always getting nominated to cook his famous homemade carnitas and chicharrones for the gatherings…. Carmen Clip 25 delicious. Everyone wanted that too. Every time we would go to parties, Hey, can Santiago make the food? You know, BEAT Basically...for the Covarrubias crew…'la familia' es todo. Here's Carmen's cousin, Jose. Jose Clip 29 We didn't have much, you know, we come from very humble, humble beginnings, but you know, there was a lot of love and there's a lot of pride where we came from and pride in our last name and who we are. And, um, Yeah. And just Familia and family that's, you know, that's what it was all about for us growing up. BEAT FADE For the Covarrubiases… The trouble started in November… Right as COVID cases were beginning to skyrocket on both sides of the border.. Santiago was in Mexico dealing with legal issues. And while he was there, his sister-in-law passed away. As a family man, Carmen says Santiago felt like there was just no way he could miss the funeral for his wife's sister. BEAT Look...this is a close-knit Mexican-American family...a family that shows up for each other...especially in moments of need. BEAT Santiago and the rest of the family had been taking social distancing, mask-wearing and staying home pretty seriously...they trusted the advice from the CDC and public health officials… But...the family had made it almost a year through the pandemic without anyone getting super sick or dying… So, like a lot of us, Santiago started relaxing...unfortunately, right at the wrong time. Carmen again told her dad not to go to the funeral...but she said he told her there are just some things...like the death of a family member… where you have to put some trust in God...and take a risk so you can be there for your family… BEAT So… Santiago flew to the funeral...to be by his family's side. A few days later, though… Santiago just didn't feel right But Carmen says he was the last to admit it. Carmen Clip 13 ….I dont know if its the machismo in them… Where they have this pride where they don't want to say, yeah, I'm feeling sick. Carmen says Santiago talked to his family over the phone -- he told them he must've caught a bad cold. But he never lost his sense of smell or taste… So he assured them there was no way it was COVID. Carmen Clip 13 I would ask my dad, how are you feeling? And he would tell me, I'm fine. I'm fine. I don't want you to worry, but I can tell, you know, you know, your parents. Carmen Clip 30 finally, I started realizing he was getting worse. So I told my dad, you need to come back now. Eventually, Carmen convinced Santiago to fly back to Tijuana. And when he got there, his brother, Juan Jose, immediately saw that Santiago was in way worse shape than he was letting on… BEAT FADE Carmen Clip 7 So when my dad finally came back, um, my uncle picked him up at the airport in Tijuana and took them straight to the hospital…. Carmen Clip 7 They called me around three o'clock in the morning to tell me that my dad was COVID positive. Um, and they were going to admit him. BEAT FADE COVID rules prevented the family from being able to visit. And...Carmen says it was really hard to connect with her dad. BEAT Carmen Clip 15 It was bad because he couldn't really hear us. Um, So when we would try to communicate with him, it was hard because he already is going through hearing problems. And then we have this machine blowing in him and it was really hard to communicate. Carmen Clip 16 I was on the doctors: You need to call me every day. You need to call me when this happens or whatever, you know…. BEAT Carmen Clip 17 That has to be the hardest thing I believe when you have not just a parent, but a loved one, um, in the hospital and you can't even be by their side. So that it's very hard, you know? Um, I feel very bad because I was not able to be there with him in the room to tell my dad everything's going to be okay, you got this, you're going to fight through this. You know? And that was the toughest thing that we struggled with accepting the fact that we can't even be with him. BEAT Santiago was having trouble breathing. So, he got put on a ventilator… And...from there... it was a quick downward spiral. BEAT On Nov. 28...just one week after he went to the hospital. Santiago…. took his last breath. BEAT Carmen Clip 22 I never thought that this is how my dad would go out. You know, I always thought, Oh, you know, old age or something, but COVID, you know, took him. BEAT The Covarrubias family was crushed by Santiago's death. But...they didn't really get time to properly mourn… BEAT FADE Because just a few weeks later…two more Covarrubias family members got the virus. Carmen Clip 31 So when we called my uncle, um, we said, Tio, you know, how are you feeling? And his response was, I don't feel good. I'm sick. So when he said that, we knew. Stay with us. MIDROLL 2 Jose Clip 10 I got sick in March of last year and I had, I had it really, really bad. This is Jose Covarrubias….Carmen's cousin…So, Santiago is his tio… Jose works in the fashion industry across the country in Brooklyn, New York… So, he was right in the middle of the first big outbreak there last year... Jose Clip 10 ….. You know, at the time it was Brooklyn was the epicenter of the world, you know, and we didn't know a lot about it. It was, you know, it was very scary. BEAT Jose says he's still dealing with long-term effects from COVID. So even now...a year later... he goes to the doctor every two weeks to treat high blood pressure, COVID fog brain and joint inflammation. But Jose says the worst part... is that his sense of smell and taste aren't back at 100 percent yet. Jose Clip 11 So, you know, I tend to eat foods that I know that I remember. So I can just, you know, I have an idea of what everything tastes like, what I remember from, you know, so…. Jose Clip 10 And, um, I just remember when I was recovering, I was like, I don't ever want anybody in my family to feel, to have to be this, the sick cause it was, it was really bad. BEAT So….Jose's dad... Juan Jose…. was actually a lot like his tio Santiago…. Here's Jose and Carmen talking about the two Covarrubias brothers. Jose Clip 5 He was born after your dad. So, um, About a year apart. Yeah. Mexican twins. BEAT Jose Clip 5 Um, so they were always together where everyone went, the other one, you know, they dressed alike. They, they liked the same things. So, uh, my dad, uh, very hardworking, you know, he was strict when we were growing up, but he was all about love and, you know, um, you knew you were loved for sure. Uh, funny though. He loved to make people laugh. He was a big jokester. Um, he didn't like to dwell on things. He didn't like to be sad. He didn't like to. Worry. BEAT Jose Clip 6 My dad was really big into yard sales and estate sales. So we would go and, you know, uh, go to auctions and buy all the stuff and then we would clean it up and then we'd go to the swap, meet on the weekends and, um, you know, sell. And he would have me there translating. Cause he always said that people don't want to argue with a little boy. So he, and you know, he spoke well enough, but he knew that if he had me there. You know, negotiating, it was easier for the sell. Juan Jose lived part time by himself in an apartment in Tijuana… And part-time in Chula Vista with one of Jose's sisters, Monica. Jose Clip 7 Monica was our, she was the baby of the family..Uh, she. Was silently strong, very caring, very loving, took care of everybody. She was one of my dad's caretakers; they lived together. Um, she had three beautiful. She has, she has three beautiful children that she was very protective of and showered with love and yeah, she was just a wonderful mom. Very dedicated. very dedicated to her children. Jose Clip 8 But she was, she, you know, my little brother says she was the best of us for sure. She was like, she was our little princess for sure. BEAT FADE After the holidays...Monica started feeling sick. And just days later...Juan Jose started feeling sick, too. Jose Clip 9 yeah, people, I feel let their guard down. Cause my sister was so strict with my dad and her kids. Like she was really, really basically locked them up in a tower for a whole year, almost a whole year. Um, you know, and then, you know, people kind of started. Relaxing over the holidays and having like small little gatherings…. So yeah...probably at one of those little family gatherings, both Monica and Juan Jose got COVID...and both of them eventually ended up in the hospital. And the family did everything they could to stay in constant contact even though they weren't allowed to visit... Jose Clip 13 My sister was able to keep her phone, so. She was able to FaceTime with us and checking on everybody and constantly be worrying about us when we were just telling her to worry about you. Like we got this, you know, we're taking care of your kids, we're cleaning up your house. We're taking down your Christmas decorations. She was like, no, I'm like, no, I got this. Laughs. BEAT Jose Clip 12 My dad, you never, we never trusted him cause he would always lie and say he was fine. Um, I was more worried about my dad because he's older and he has to, they had, they both have pigs, both had pre-existing conditions, but I was like Monica will be fine... she'll bounce back, it'll be eat, you know, she'll be fine. Um, we were more worried about my dad. BEAT FADE Juan Jose HBD CLIP This is Juan Jose, leaving a happy birthday message for his son Jose back in 2019… Juan Jose HBD CLIP After Juan Jose's first week in the hospital… He was actually doing really well.. His oxygen levels were up and he was looking good. There was even talk of him being discharged. But that's one of the many scary things about COVID-19... It can be unpredictable. And things can go south really quickly. BEAT Jose Clip 14 I haven't really had a chance to really process everything because it's happened so fast, Jose Clip 14 but, um, no, I moved away many, many years ago. So for me, I've always had scenarios in my head of how everything was gonna go down with my dad or my family, you know, and never once I think I wasn't going to be able to get there in time to be with my dad and hold his hand, or be able to say goodbye in person.Takes deep breath. Jose Clip 14 But, um, COVID, you know, you, you can't, cause you're not allowed in. No on the day that they knew that it was probably his last day. And, um, we had to make a decision to end his care. Then they allowed us to go up to the hospital and go into his ICU, to the ICU floor, and from his glass door, we got to say goodbye. And that was it. And what, what really struck me more than anything was we weren't the only family on that floor saying goodbye. You know, there was little pockets on that floor. There were little pockets out front praying you can't all go in and say goodbye. It's just, they limit the number of people. So you have to make a choice of who can go up there or who wants to go up there. And, um, yeah, that, that for me was like, now that I think about it and, and like, I have a moment to like breathe and, you know, just him being alone really. It just makes me sad and a little bit angry. BEAT Juan Jose…. passed away on Jan. 27. BEAT At this point...Monica was in a different hospital...in stable condition...and slowly getting better. But then she started getting blood clots… And on Jan. 31st, one of those blood clots gave her a massive stroke. Jose Clip 15 And they said that she had, you know, just severe brain trauma and she was paralyzed and the quality of life wouldn't be. Wouldn't be there if she, if she even survived the day. So we were able to actually go to the hospital and because she was COVID free that day, they tested her. We actually were able to go into her room with her, my mom, my sister, and her three kids, kids. And we were able to say goodbye. We were able to hold her hand. We were able to hurt, you know, and I thought that that was such a gift for her kids and for us, because they were there with, when she took her last breath and we were able to FaceTime the whole family. And, but for me it was like the gifts because we didn't get to say goodbye to my dad, but I felt that my dad and her dad were there, you know, taking her, taking her and making sure that she was crossing over, you know, Peacefully. BEAT Four days after her dad Juan Jose lost his battle with COVID-19… Monica...lost her battle, too. BEAT FADE Jose Clip 16 One tragedy is enough. Two at the same time. And then also compounded with the November happening with my tio is just, you know, we're just kind of like been hit so many times at once, you know, it's, um, we haven't recovered and I don't know how long it's going to be till, or we recover because even we're so busy that we don't really allow ourselves to, to think or to dwell. So I'm, you know, I'm just waiting for the moment where it's really going to hit me. Um, And it's a little scary to think about when that's really going to happen and where Funeral Clip 2 Music Funeral Clip 3 Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do some people live long and full lives while others' lives are cut short? Why do we have a pandemic? Funeral Clip I am the good shepherd says the lord... At the funeral for Juan Jose and Monica back in March…. Sadness hung in the air the way it always does when death is involved… BEAT But Carmen and Jose say there was also this overwhelming feeling of love and support… Their family...their friends….and even people they've never met...folks from inside and outside the local Latin community….. really showed up for them… At last check, the family's gofundme had raised over $25,000 to help cover funeral expenses… Their families' story was covered on local TV news...so, a lot of people felt really connected to the Covarrubiases. Maybe that's why almost 2,000 people have watched the live stream of Juan Jose and Monica's services on Facebook. Here's part of the live stream of the funeral that really stuck with my producer Kinsee...It's Jose's and Monica's brother, Marcos, sharing some sweet memories of their dad. Funeral Clip 5 My dad, when I was a little boy, ….I would sit on his lap and you give me the biggest, the best hugs. Squeeze me so tight and he made me laugh. I loved kissing him on the cheek. I loved it. It always tickled, my face…. Weeps. I'll never forget. BEAT Even though Carmen, Jose and the rest of their family are obviously still processing all the pain… The family is thankful for the positives… Like all that incredible community support. BEAT And then there's the closeness they've regained to by going through the tragedies together….. Jose Clip 22 I really, for me, I think this is a big wake up, wake up, call and a life lesson for my family. You know, it's bringing us closer…. Before the Covarrubias family lost three of its own in the pandemic, Life had done what it does to a lot of families these days...even the tightest ones… Some of them had started drifting apart… But Jose says this experience has knitted the family back together...and now they're back to a place where they're looking out for each other... trusting one another to help the family navigate the pandemic and make choices that will keep everyone safe from here on out. Jose Clip 22 I hope we can continue. We can continue this closeness. I hope we can continue checking in on each other. And we're such a big family, but you know, a tragedy always brings everything tighter. BEAT FADE Jose and Carmen say they see one more, crucial, silver lining in their family's tragedy… They've been using their story as a cautionary tale for the larger Mexican-American community. Because there's so much distrust out there --- they personally know a lot of folks spreading misinformation about how the virus spreads….or who are afraid of getting the vaccine… So..they're telling everyone they know to listen to the public health advice… keep wearing masks….. and get the shots… don't wait until it's too late. BEAT Jose Clip 31 we're facing people who only trust. The phone call or the text message or, you know, well, I heard and I saw in, I read, you know, that's, am I wrong? Carmen's sticking her head. Yeah, no. How many times do we tell our parents different things, but they, you know, they would listen to their commodity or their competitor instead of listening to us, you know, we would give them something to read. We're like read this. And they were like, no, no, I heard, I was told, so that's so true. BEAT Jose Clip 33 what is I always like, what's the takeaway for this situation? What is it a life's lesson? Cause you got to have something out of this tragedy. Right? And I think it's just the platform to be able to share our story and let people like us are people who have families like us know that this is a real serious thing and it's out there and you have to be careful and there has to be better. Education, there has to be, you know, we have to get the truth out there instead of like letting our people, our community, our raza, you know, um, suffer and not get the right information. I think that's, that's been our platform more than anything else. BEAT Jose Clip 22 Um, I hope. The virus can slow down. I hope people can take precautions. Like people have to be responsible, you know, not only for yourself, but for everybody else, like you have to care, you have to wear your mask. You have to like be careful, um, get the vaccine if you're able to get the vaccine. Um, and I just hope that we can. Just get over this and just go back to a day where we can actually see faces again. And we remember what it was like to eat in a restaurant or, you know, um, go to a movie theater...I just, I hope we can go back to that… sooner than later. BEAT Next time on the podcast…. We kick off a new series on medical tourism at the border with a San Diego woman who gets diagnosed with cancer...again. But this time… She says she's gonna do her own thing, and skip the chemo. Maria 1 Clip 4 And I told them I wasn't going to do it this time. I was going to go the holistic route and I was going to do my own research Research….that would eventually lead her…..to Tijuana.

Our local Latinx community has been hit hard by the pandemic; disproportionately hard. In today's special episode, we share one border family's battle with COVID-19. They explain how they're using their story to help other Mexican-American families like theirs. It's a story about trust, and how living at the border can mean living in a place where trust sometimes requires translation.

Lamar Williams Jr began his career early, singing in churches and school functions. Born in Macon, GA, and having lost his father (Lamar Williams performer and bassist of The Allman Brothers Band and Sea Level) at an early age, his career in music began independently with the help of friends and advisors that heard him sing over the years.
His first record deal in Miami, Florida came after winning many talent shows, working with other singers and bands in the early 90s. Fast forward, through many bands, performances and recording opportunities – sharing the stage with artists such as Little Richard, 112, Jagged Edge, and other hip hop and R&B acts – in 2000 Lamar began working with the group, Revival, out of Macon, GA.
After moving the band to Athens, GA, he began opening with Demon Jones for the band Rehab in 2007. This led to years of performing with, opening for, and recording with the band, while working on, and developing his own sound and solo projects.
Currently carrying the torch, Lamar has sat in with The Allman Brothers Band, Oteil and Friends, and is currently the lead singer of Les Brers. He is also working on a solo record with renowned producer and artist, Mike Hartnett (Rehab, Yelawolf, Fergie and many more).

Q: Connect two different values with vertical line in highcharts Hi I'm looking for a good chart plugin for my website. I found highcharts, which solves the mostly of my needs. Now I builded follow chart with this plugin:

$(function () {
    $('#container').highcharts({
        chart: {
            zoomType: 'xy'
        },
        title: {
            text: 'Connect Values'
        },
        subtitle: {
            text: 'Value 1 and Value 2'
        },
        xAxis: [{
            categories: ['24.05.2015', '01.06.2015', '12.06.2015', '19.06.2015', '25.06.2015'],
            crosshair: true
        }],
        yAxis: [{ // Primary yAxis
            labels: {
                format: '{value}',
                style: {
                    color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[1]
                }
            },
            title: {
                text: 'Value 1',
                style: {
                    color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[1]
                }
            }
        }, { // Secondary yAxis
            title: {
                text: 'Value 2',
                style: {
                    color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
                }
            },
            labels: {
                format: '{value}',
                style: {
                    color: Highcharts.getOptions().colors[0]
                }
            },
            opposite: true
        }],
        tooltip: {
            shared: true
        },
        legend: {
            layout: 'vertical',
            align: 'left',
            x: 120,
            verticalAlign: 'top',
            y: 100,
            floating: true,
            backgroundColor: (Highcharts.theme && Highcharts.theme.legendBackgroundColor) || '#FFFFFF'
        },
        series: [{
            name: 'Value 2',
            type: 'spline',
            yAxis: 1,
            data: [77, 69, 89, 84, 86],
            tooltip: {
                valueSuffix: ''
            }

        }, {
            name: 'Value 1',
            type: 'spline',
            data: [120, 118, 126, 129, 135],
            tooltip: {
                valueSuffix: ''
            }
        }]
    });
});

Now I would like to connect the two values in a zone of the two different lines with a vertical line from point to point like this:

Or is this also possible:

Can I do this in highcharts? Or is there an other chart plugin which also contains multiple y-axis (2 or more) and can connect values? I hope for some help.
Thanks.

A: You can use the spline series in combination with columnrange type. Then set the  pointWidth param to declare size of each column:
    series: [{
        type:'columnrange',
        pointWidth: 2,
        data: [[5,10],[4,5],[10,20],[12,15],[15,19]]
    },{
        data: [10,5,20,15,19]
    }, {
        data: [5,4,10,12,15]
    }]

Example:

A: This worked for me fine:

        $(function () {
            $('#container').highcharts({
                chart:{
                    type: "spline",
                    zoomType: 'xy'
                },
                title: {
                    text: 'Blutdruck',
                    x: -20 //center
                },
                subtitle: {
                    text: 'Amacher Hugo | 15.08.1977 (M)',
                    x: -20
                },
                xAxis: {
                    categories: ['25.05.2015', '28.05.2015', '01.06.2015', '07.06.2015', '12.06.2015']
                },
                yAxis: {
                    title: {
                        text: 'Blutdruck mmHg'
                    },
                    plotLines: [{
                        value: 0,
                        width: 1,
                        color: '#808080'
                    }]
                },
                tooltip: {
                    valueSuffix: ' mmHg'
                },
                legend: {
                    layout: 'vertical',
                    align: 'right',
                    verticalAlign: 'middle',
                    borderWidth: 0
                },
                series: [{
                    name: 'sys/dia',
                 type:'columnrange',
                    pointWidth: 2,
                    data: [[121,80],[124,95],[141,100],[122,85],[125,99]],
                },{
                    name: 'systolisch',
                    lineWidth: 0,
                    data: [121,124,141,122,125],
                    marker : {
                        enabled : true,
                        radius : 5,
                        symbol: 'triangle-down'
                    },
                }, {
                    name: 'diastolisch',
                    lineWidth: 0,
                    data: [80,95,100,85,99],
                    lineColor: null,
                    marker : {
                        enabled : true,
                        radius : 5,
                        symbol: 'triangle'
                    },
                }]
            });
        });

With the lineWidth : 0 on my series it removed it. Thanks and cheers.

A: On the same lines, you can try Bar Chart with Connectors
$(function() {
  var chart = Highcharts.chart('container', {
    chart: {
      type: 'column'
    },
    xAxis: {
      categories: true
    },

    series: [{
      data: [10, 20, 40, 10]
    }, {
      type: 'line',
      data: [
        [0, 10],
        [1, 20]
      ],
      enableMouseTracking: false,
      showInLegend: false
    }]
  }, function(chart) {
    var series = chart.series[0],
      data = series.data,
      xAxis = series.xAxis,
      yAxis = series.yAxis;
    chart.renderer.text().attr({
      zIndex: 10,
      align: 'center'
    }).add();
  });

  $('#button').click(function () {
    chart.series[1].setData([[2, 40],[3, 10]]);
 });
});

Q: Delay Ad Scripts Until All Other JS Has Loaded? I'm using Revive Ad Server, and I moved the Invocation Code for my ads in divs below my footer, and then used jQuery to append them to where they're supposed to load. How can I delay the loading of the ads so they rest of my scripts can load? For example, I'm using Nivo Slider (which is loaded in head), but the first image won't display until all the ad scripts have loaded, which takes a couple seconds.
HTML with Invocation Code:

jQuery:
    $(document).ready(function () {

        // Nivo Slider code

    });

    $(window).load(function() {

        $('#leaderboard').contents().appendTo($('.leaderboard'));
        $('#wide-skyscraper').contents().appendTo($('.wide-skyscraper'));

    });

A: I can't speak towards your ToS but I think this would be possible by dynamically creating the ad script after your slider loads instead of hardcoded in the HTML.  The ad site may be able to check against this and if they do, it won't work; however I would try the following:
HTML

JavaScript
function doAds() {
    getAd('a2ce62fe', 1, '.leaderboard');
    getAd('a16afa56', 2, '.wide-skyscraper');
}
function getAd(n, zoneid, target) {
    var adScript = "


Wanted felon Ashanti Hendricks, 22, has been arrested on suspicion of firing shots at the Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Thursday afternoon. Police received a tip about a wanted suspect at around 11:11 a.m., but according to the hospital, the shooter wasn't confirmed in the building until an hour later. The hospital was then put on lockdown. Police found the suspect in the neonatal unit holding a baby. When he was told he was under arrest, Hendricks put down the baby and ran. He reportedly pointed his gun at the officers but did not fire. One officer shot at Hendricks and hit him in the wrist, but no one else was hurt.

An RTI activist had moved a PIL, challenging appointment of Lokayukta Justice Naolekar.
Bhopal: MP high court on Monday dismissed a PIL challenging appointment of Lokayukta Justice PP Naolekar. The bench of acting Chief Justice Sushil Harkauli and justice UC Maheshwari after hearing the counsel for the petitioner found no illegality in the Lokayukta's appointment and dismissed the PIL.
The court said, "…even ex-post facto approval of the counsel of ministers would mean the advice is complete and has got no illegality."
RTI activist Ajay Dubey had moved the PIL in the principal bench of the high court, challenging appointment of Justice Naolekar as head of the state's anti-graft agency. According to him, the appointment was made in haste without following the procedure and hence liable to be set aside.
The petitioner said the file clearing Justice PP Naolekar's name traveled in lightening fast speed. All formalities were completed within 24 hours which is quite unheard of.
The PIL also questioned Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan for being party to the selection process of the Lokayukta when a case of corruption was pending before it. The participation of the CM in the selection process despite his being an accused was against the law, the petitioner said.
The government also did not get prior approval of the cabinet as per the procedure for appointment of the Lokayukta, noted the PIL.
The counsel for the petitioner, Advocate Raghavendra Kumar said one- and- half years after the appointment of Justice Naolekar as Lokayukta, the CM was exonerated in the corruption case against him. Naolekar was in the eye of a storm after he exonerated the chief minister in the dumper scam case.
The Congress demanded Lokayukta's removal from the office, saying consent of the then leader of the opposition late Jamuna Devi for appointment of Naolekar was taken fraudulently when she was admitted to a private hospital. Petitioner Dubey told the DNA he would move an appeal before the Supreme Court against the HC order.
Earlier, he had moved the SC through a PIL with the same demand but the court directed him to file the case in the high court first, citing that it was the appropriate forum.
