Pat Broderick (born November 26, 1953) is an American comics artist, known for his work on the Micronauts and Alpha Flight for Marvel Comics, and Legion of Super-Heroes, Captain Atom and Green Lantern for DC Comics. Broderick also pencilled the four-part "Batman: Year Three" storyline, written by Marv Wolfman, which detailed the first meeting of Batman and Dick Grayson as well as Tim Drake's first appearance.

Career

Comics
Soon after graduating from high school in Tampa, Florida, Broderick flew to New York in the early 1970s to compete in DC Comics' junior bullpen program, a nationwide art and writing contest held at the July 4 convention at the Commodore Hotel. Presenting his work to DC editors Sol Harrison and Joe Orlando, Broderick was almost immediately placed in the junior bullpen program and drew filler pages and short stories for various 100 Page Super Spectaculars. During this period, Broderick also worked for Neal Adams and Dick Giordano's Continuity Associates as a member of the Crusty Bunkers.

In 1975, after sporadic work with DC and Marvel, Broderick joined the team at Atlas Comics. His time at Atlas was short-lived, and Broderick soon found himself back at Marvel, working on various titles for their black-and-white line, Curtis Magazines. This led to working on Captain Marvel and then The Micronauts. He drew the Micronauts series from #19 (July 1980) to #34 (Oct. 1981).

Writer J. M. DeMatteis and Broderick created the Creature Commandos in Weird War Tales #93 (November 1980). In 1981, he abruptly left Marvel for DC. As he said in a 2003 interview, "Jim Shooter had all but informed me that, in his opinion, my art sucked and that I would never get another raise there, regardless of how well my books were selling. So one quick phone call to DC and I was in." Broderick was one of the artists on the double-sized Justice League of America #200 (March 1982). He and writer Gerry Conway launched The Fury of Firestorm in June 1982. Broderick briefly drew the Batman feature in Detective Comics in 1985.  Captain Atom, a Charlton Comics character purchased by DC, was given an ongoing series in March 1987 which was written by Cary Bates and drawn by Broderick. Writer Marv Wolfman and Broderick created Tim Drake in the "Batman: Year Three" story. Broderick drew the  Swamp Thing series from 1989 to 1990 and then launched the Green Lantern volume 3 series with Gerard Jones.

After ten years at DC, Broderick's relationship with that company soured. According to him, he "was being abused by [his] editors, Andy Helfer and Kevin Dooley, and was really just fed up with their attitude." Shooter was no longer at Marvel which offered him work again and Broderick returned, where he worked as the regular penciller first on Alpha Flight and Doom 2099.

Advertising
In 1995, Broderick turned to advertising full-time, moving to Dallas to lead the in-house creative department at Tracy Locke and Partnership. The company handled packaging, print, and television ads for PepsiCo, Frito-Lay, Pizza Hut, Federal Express, Harrah's Casinos, and Hasbro. This led to design work for DNA Productions on the 2001 movie, Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius.

Later career
In 2003, Broderick returned to comics with the short-lived Future Comics. He was scheduled to work on the title Peacekeepers, but it was never published, and Future went out of business shortly thereafter. In 2004, Devil's Due Publishing revived Micronauts, with Broderick returning to the title. He drew three issues before it was cancelled. That same year, Broderick was a member of the animation department faculty at Tampa's International Academy of Design and Technology.

Broderick was elected an Inkwell Awards Ambassador in January 2018. In August 2018, Broderick was elevated to Special Ambassador status. His term of service ended in May 2020.

Art style
Broderick is known for his detailed, expressive art, and his characters' large eyes. There is some resemblance between Broderick's art and Michael Golden's late 1970s style. Broderick has acknowledged his admiration of Golden's work.

Through his career, Broderick has often teamed with inker Bruce Patterson on such titles as Alpha Flight, Green Lantern, Detective Comics, Legion of Super-Heroes, and Captain Planet and the Planeteers.

Addicted to Runescape
Nowadays,The Internet plays a very important role in our life,it brings a lot of convenience to our lives.We can look up information, buy things, watch movies, etc. without leaving the house, and of course play games, and mainly young people go back to play games, and even addicted to games. What are the reasons why playing games is addictive, What in the game is attracting so many people to play the game?In my opinion,I think the game industry has always been a sunrise industry, and players' enthusiasm for games has been enduring. If the electronic product is called "electronic heroin", then the game can be regarded as a higher purity "electronic heroin". This is because games are as addictive as drugs.First of all, the game will give people a sense of initiative. When a person is playing a game, he becomes a character of the game himself. I feel like I am in the scene of the hero of the game.Second,the game is exploring the spirit of new things, while satisfying our curiosity.It has a sense of crisis, tension, and freshness, inspiring us to go to the next step.Third,humans are lazy, and games cater to people 's needs.When playing a game, we don't need to think too much about it, we can experience the pleasure that the game brings to us from the game.Besides,games can give us a solace when we are alone. Many people say that when I am the loneliest and sad, only games can make me happy. This is not unreasonable. The game itself has no emotions, but humans have given them emotions.When we win in the game, we can get the admiration and affirmation of others. On the contrary, it is difficult to achieve success in real life.
Runescape is a game which has always been popular, with many loyal fans around the world, and some have followed from its development until today.With its wonderful game settings,fantastic social system, and updates that keep pace with the times, it has captured many loyal players, including myself.I have been using a very good website. I must recommend it to everyone here. With its competitive price, rapid delivery speed and high-quality service, it conquered me. It is rsgoldbuy ,I hoped we all can get a better experience in RsgoldBuy..The above is a senior player's opinion on game addiction. But in fact, it is not difficult to get rid of the game,we need to plan our own life, combining work and entertainment.


A couple weeks back an internal team at 7Summits built a wellness tracking mobile application to help our staff compete against each other in a variety of wellness related challenges. That spurred me to think about how quickly the Salesforce1 platform could be used to jumpstart something similar. While I don't have the UX and UI chops of my teammates, I did have the power of Salesforce1 to help provide the infrastructure so I had the data model up and running in minutes, and was able to jump right into the fun stuff.
This is where Salesforce really shines. Once you have an idea, it's extremely easy to create a couple objects and fields and be ready to jump right into coding. Not having to deal with authentication, security, APIs, administrative UI, etc. is quite a blessing. After creating two objects — Wellness Goals to define goals and Wellness Activities to track User goal achievements — I was ready to fire up mavensmate and create some Visualforce pages. I've been trying to play around with AngularJS on Visualforce lately, and this quick application was a great excuse to keep up that effort. Additionally, I decided to dabble with Visualforce remote objects, a Spring 14 addition to the platform, explained well in this blog post by Andrew Fawcett. This project also gave me a chance to try out Ratchet, which is a framework that helps build mobile applications (and also meant I wrote zero lines of CSS).
Defining Wellness Goals in this particular instance is something that an Administrator would do via the normal Salesforce object tab. Logging Wellness Activities, however, is something that people very likely would be doing on the go. For that reason, I decided to leverage a global publisher action to bring up a custom Visualforce page.
I don't want to dive too much into the nuts and bolts of how remote objects work, as the blog I mentioned above does a very good job of detailing that. However, I'll touch on some sample code below.
The leaderboard was built by taking the Wellness Activity objects logged and running an aggregate query on them, grouping by the User and limiting the results to a certain time period. Because I'm not quite sure whether aggregate queries will won't with remote objects, I just created a RemoteAction for it.
As I mentioned in a tweet I sent out with these screenshots on Friday, whipping together this application only took a couple hours of toying around. It's pretty amazing that no infrastructure changes were really necessary (besides setting up the object model), and that you can dive right into coding if you want. Alternatively, you could use the native UI to accomplish the same goals in the mobile application, but I like to think this is an easier way of visualizing this particular experience.
To take a closer look at the code, I uploaded the repository to GitHub at https://github.com/mwelburn/Salesforce1-Wellness-Tracker.


Chef Roy Choi has responded to New York Times critic Pete Wells's zero star review of he and Daniel Patterson's LocoL fast food joint/social enterprise in Oakland, California, claiming the likes of Wells are in fact part of the problem the project is trying to address.
In his review, Wells ponders why in a neighbourhood already crammed with fast food offerings, LocoL offers "less satisfying versions of what's already there, when they could be selling great versions of something new?" comparing current offerings including fried chicken and chilli to "hospital food."
LocoL was devised to bring healthy fast food to deprived communities, with the Oakland restaurant opening in May, four months after the first in Watts, Los Angeles. There are also plans to expand further within the Bay Area. But according to Wells, "The most nutritious burger on earth won't help you if you don't want to eat it."
Making clear that his main gripe is with the food, Wells goes on to praise the atmosphere and design of LocoL, saying: "I don't know of any other fast-food chain that has put street culture at the heart of its locations in this way." However, his zero stars, 'satisfactory' rating will confuse those who have read his famous savaging of every aspect of Thomas Keller's Per Se, to which he still awarded two stars.
I know many of you want me to respond or snap back at him but the situation to me is much more than that.
"The truth is that LocoL has hit a nerve. Doesn't mean all people love it, some hate it. But no one is indifferent by it. That's the spirit of LocoL. It has nothing to do with my ego. It's something bigger than all of us.
"Pete Wells is a component to its DNA. His criticisms are a reflection of us and the nerve that LocoL touches. And our imperfections. Also the nerve of challenging the binary structure of privileged thought patterns and how life is not just about what's a success or failure, but some things are real struggles and growth journeys.
"He didn't need to go there but he did. That's why he's a part of LocoL. The power of this change and this nerve that it hits. It compelled him to write something he knows would hurt a community that is already born from a lot of pain and struggle..
Crazy, right? But I see it as a piece to this whole puzzle."

Murdered Kids Ghosts Still Haunt This Infamous Tower of London !!!
Debates and discussions about ghosts and God never bring in a fruitful solution, but nevertheless, they remain a few of the most favorite topics to ponder upon. Discussion about ghosts resemble those of demons at many levels, but still a large chunk of population is just not ready to accept the fact that such creatures or a life after death can exist. There have been numerous proofs that these ghosts roam around us and still, people remain skeptic. One such incident is of the Tower of London, a considerably famous landmark.
Christine Hamlett, a decently renowned psychic artist, claimed to have photographed the ghosts of the Princes that seemed to have approached her. She claims that as soon as she entered the premises of the tower, an eerie feeling filled her up, leading her to think that something fishy was going on in the premises. She believes that the ghosts showed themselves around the anniversary of when they were last spotted, that is in the month of August.
The story behind this infamous Tower of London dates back to 1483. Edward IV of England allegedly married to Elizabeth Woodville and had two sons, Edward V and the young Richard of Shrewsbury. After the sudden demise of Edward IV, Edward V was proclaimed to be the king along with his uncle, Richard III named as the Lord Protector. Things were going smoothly, until it was said that the sons were illegitimate subject to the invalid marriage of Edward IV and Elizabeth. At that time, Edward V was 12 and the young Richard, 9.
When the coronation of Edward V was to be done, the uncle, Richard III, took the throne for himself and the kids were never seen after that. This led to the rumors that it was Richard III who killed the Princes, which more or less seemed to be the only possible explanation of the advent of events. Soon after in 1484, karma hit Richard back when his only son died. His rival, Henry Tudor, soon became the claimant of the throne.
For ages the ghosts of the two young kids have been witnessed roaming in the premises of the tower. It was in the late 15th century when a few guards passing the staircase came across a couple of shadows gliding down the stairs. A chest containing the skeleton of two young children was also found in 1674, which gave more fire to the rumors.
Christine believes that she tried to communicate with these kids in the August of 2015. Many photographs were clicked by her at the time when she tried having the conversation. It was after that when she was going through the photographs in her computer that she came across a teenage boy, walking along the tower with his head bowed down. She believed it to be a photograph of one of the spirits among the two allegedly murdered kids, though she still is skeptic if their uncle murdered them. It is also said that the renovations going on in the tower has disturbed the calmness of these ghosts, which has provoked them roaming around in the castle looking for solace.
Whatever the case might be, these photographs do prove the existence of ghosts around us. And for those who don't believe in their existence, this is one of those solid proofs that would allow them looking for other such mysterious stories and instances.


If You don't know my army, since my last bricks post was a long time ago.
This might not be the best question to ask but then again most people on the forum do have short term memory loss, so I should remind you.
I have about 40 light troops mixed, A command tank, a dropship,and Several super heavy soldiers. As you can see my army mostly consits of troops. Heres my question I am wondering whether to expand to Medium infantry which is a half step smaller than Archon Armor or to add more vehicles? At the moment my budget is small. An dsince my budget is small. I can not compete with our other resident army builders at the moment.
Say I take more pictures.
I would go with a couple transports/light assault vehicles. You need some way for those troops to get around, and I'm pretty sure your dropship can't do that itself. Build a couple jeeps with mounted machine guns and another one or two with just a couple seats in the back instead.
Yeah I agree, probably two or three more light carriers would complete the look and feel.

Q: return value when count equals variable in sql server I have a table to update with other table data. For this I created a trigger. Inside trigger, I must check how many active occurrences of each id. If this number of occurrences is same number than a variable value then return 1 (true) otherwise 0 (false).
I get the variable
DECLARE @num_gerencias numeric(2, 0)
SELECT @num_gerencias = (SELECT COUNT(id_gerencia) FROM FR_GERENCIES)
select @num_gerencias

This works ok... returns 5
Then, I make a count of occurrences of the l_activo variable in other table (variable is a bit):
SELECT id_operacio, SUM(CASE WHEN l_activo = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
                FROM FR_GERENCIES_OPERACIONS o
                GROUP BY o.id_operacio

This query also works nice, returns:
2958    5
2959    0
2960    5
2961    3
2962    5
2963    5
2964    2
2965    4
2966    5
2967    5

All perfect... now i must get same list, but if sum equals to @num_gerencias, then put 1 and 0 otherwise.
Expected result table
2958    1
2959    0
2960    1
2961    0
2962    1
2963    1
2964    0
2965    0
2966    1
2967    1

I've tried with CASE
SELECT DISTINCT id_operacio, CASE WHEN
            (
                SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN l_activo = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
                FROM FR_GERENCIES_OPERACIONS o
                GROUP BY o.id_operacio
            ) = @num_gerencias THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

but I'm getting error:

Mens . 512 , Level 16 , State 1, Line 6
  The subquery returned more than one value , which is not correct when it goes below = , ! = , <, < = ,>, > = Or when used as an expression .

I also tried with an IF (i guess this option is totally wrong for this case... but I've tried)
SELECT DISTINCT id_operacio,
    IF @num_gerencias = (SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN l_activo = 1 THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
            FROM FR_GERENCIES_OPERACIONS o
            GROUP BY o.id_operacio)
    1
    ELSE 0
FROM FR_GERENCIES_OPERACIONS

But I have syntax errors...
Any idea how can i reach expected result table?

A: You were nearly there, however your grouping and selection must occur outside of your case statement:
SELECT DISTINCT
    id_operacio
    ,CASE
        WHEN SUM(CAST(l_activo AS INTEGER)) = @num_gerencias THEN 1
        ELSE 0
    END
FROM FR_GERENCIES_OPERACIONS o
GROUP BY o.id_operacio

Another View: Lessons for Corporate Boardrooms From Yahoo's Cybersecurity Settlement
Get the DealBook newsletter to make sense of major business and policy headlines — and the power-brokers who shape them.
Shareholders haven't been successful in holding companies accountable for data breaches.
That changed in the first month of 2019.
The former officers and directors of Yahoo agreed to pay $29 million to settle charges that they breached their fiduciary duties in their handling of customer data during a series of cyberattacks from 2013 until 2016. Three billion Yahoo user accounts were compromised in the attacks. The settlement ended three so-called derivative lawsuits filed in Delaware and California against the company's former leadership team and board, including Marissa Mayer, Yahoo's former chief executive. Insurance coverage will pick up the tab.
The settlement, approved this month by a Superior Court judge in Santa Clara, Calif., marked the first time that shareholders have been awarded a monetary damages in a derivative lawsuit related to a data breach. There have been very few breach-related derivative lawsuits, and all had been dismissed by the courts or settled without a payment to the shareholders.
A derivative lawsuit is a legal mechanism that gives the owners of a company — the shareholders — a way to hold corporate directors and management accountable for their actions. Shareholders file a claim on the company's behalf, with any money recovered going to the corporation, not the individual shareholders, because the violation harmed only the organization.
Under the Yahoo settlement, the lawyers walk away with about $11 million in fees and expenses, with the remaining $18 million paid to Yahoo, now called Altaba after Verizon acquired Yahoo's internet business in 2017.
A $29 million settlement might seem trivial for a company that has a market capitalization of $38 billion. But it signals that director and officer liability for cybersecurity oversight is entering new and potentially perilous territory. That is especially so in cases like Yahoo's, in which shareholders allege egregious misconduct at the highest levels of an organization.
Those allegations might explain why the Yahoo case was settled.
Insurers don't typically cough up tens of millions of dollars to settle derivative cases, which can be tough for shareholders to win. They must show that board members breached their fiduciary responsibilities by consciously disregarding their duties. The chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court has called these claims "possibly the most difficult theory in corporation law upon which a plaintiff might hope to win a judgment."
The parties jointly told the court that the settlement was fair, in the best interest of all parties, and that a series of data security improvements have been worked out to minimize the chances that this will happen again. But the facts of the case most likely led the insurers to conclude that their exposure could be greater than the settlement.
The reason is that the actions alleged in the lawsuit are outrageous. The nearly 120-page complaint — which is heavily redacted — reads at points more like a criminal indictment than a lawsuit. It accuses Yahoo's former leaders of engaging in an elaborate, yearslong plot to cover up hacks going back to 2013 and conducting a "sham" investigation to "conceal the largest hacking incident in U.S. history."
Yahoo was a pioneer of the internet era, and the core of its business was providing ways for users to communicate with one another confidentially. Yet Yahoo failed miserably at this fundamental mission, according to the shareholders' complaint. The expectations for consumer privacy and data security are far different for an internet company than a corner hardware store. The insurance carriers clearly understood this fact.
The company's settlement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in April provided further fodder to justify a settlement. The S.E.C. tagged Altaba with a $35 million penalty for failing to make a timely disclosure of the data breach, the commission's first action for a cybersecurity disclosure violation.
But it's the details of the S.E.C. settlement that most likely proved the most troubling for the insurers. According to the S.E.C., "In late 2014, Yahoo had learned of a massive breach of its user database that resulted in the theft, unauthorized access or acquisition of hundreds of millions of its user's personal data." The agency further alleged that "Yahoo senior management and relevant legal staff did not properly assess the scope, business impact or legal implications of the breach" and "did not share information regarding the breach with Yahoo's auditors or outside counsel."
Yahoo didn't disclose the breach until September 2016, when it was negotiating the sale of its internet business to Verizon. Although the transaction was completed, the acquisition price was lowered by $350 million to $4.48 billion. That made for bad optics, a fact that the insurers probably recognized.
Any company that figured it had little to fear from shareholders after a breach should now think twice. And in the meantime, this is definitely not the time to cut back insurance for officers and directors.

Q: MYSQL relacionamento entre tabelas Não sou muito bom com relacionamento em banco de dados e estou iniciando meus estudos.
Gostaria de saber por que os desenvolvedores encurtam ao chamar as tabelas ou se isso é o obrigatório?
SELECT p.*, c.`nome` AS categoria, u.`nome` AS usuario FROM `produtos` AS p
INNER JOIN `categorias` AS c ON p.`categoria_id` = c.`id`
INNER JOIN `usuarios` AS u ON p.`usuario_id` = u.`id`
WHERE (p.`ativo` = 1) ORDER BY p.`nome` ASC

isso é muito confuso, eu sei que aí ele está juntando 2 tabelas numa consulta mas não entendo isso:
 p.* , p.´nome´,  c.`nome`, u.`nome`

A: Geralmente cria-se esse "alias" para as tabelas e colunas para facilitar referencia-las novamente na query.
Por exemplo, ao invés de escrever categoria toda vez, basta escreve c.
Isso não é obrigatorio, mas quando existem tabelas que você quer relacionar que tem colunas com o mesmo nome, quando você for usar essas colunas você precisa dizer de qual tabela e ai faz sentido usar o alias.

A: O item p.* quer dizer que é para exibir todos os campos da tabela produtos. Logo após o FROM, tem escrito produtos as p, isto é um nome curto para que você não precise escrever produtos.. Como foi criado o apelido p, você simplesmente faz referência utilizando p..
O item p.nome, faz referência a tabela produto e coluna nome, diz que é para ordenar o resultado pela coluna nome da tabela produto. É apenas um nome curto, poderia ser escrito produto.nome, mas como citei acima, foi lhe atribuído um apelido "p" e pode ser feita a referência como p.nome.
Esperto ter ajudado.

A: Geralmente usa-se apelidar as tabelas para facilitar a escrita do Script que por sintaxe pede a utilização do "Nome da tabela" e "Nome do campo" (ex: categoria.nome) em casos onde o nome do campo existe em mais de uma tabela.
SELECT p.*, c.nome AS categoria, u.nome AS usuario
FROM produtos p
INNER JOIN categorias c ON p.categoria_id = c.id
INNER JOIN usuarios u ON p.usuario_id = u.id
WHERE (p.ativo = 1)
ORDER BY p.nome
ASC

Senior Care in Action: Art Cooper
This has been happening for more than 40 years. Every six to eight weeks, Art Cooper gets a trim at Joseph and Rocky's barber shop, not far from his Downsview home. But for the last few years, going to the barber shop is the only time that Cooper, almost 91 and with advanced Alzheimer's disease, allows himself to be taken outside his home. Otherwise he balks if someone tries to lead him to the front door, becoming upset and anxious, according to his son, Toronto Star photographer Dave Cooper.
"His home is where he's happy, he's safe, he's comfortable and he's not as confused," says his son.
Art Cooper's home is his sanctuary because of the 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week home care Dave Cooper has arranged for his father.
Added to the 15 hours a week of care provided by Preferred Health Care Inc. - the maximum paid for by the province - is a five-person team of Personal Support Workers from Downsview Services for Seniors. They care for his father during daytime and nighttime shifts.
The heart of the team is Pina, a former neighbour, who has worked 40-hour weeks in the Cooper home for seven years now. Her husband, Danny, is retired. He helps out one day a week maintaining the garden and doing any repairs that are needed.
From his father's savings, Cooper pays about $7,500 a month to keep him at home. Thankfully, his parents were very frugal, he says with a laugh, and saved much of their salaries; today, he can afford to provide his dad with the proper senior care he requires. His father taught math at Ryerson University; his mother, who died last year, was a librarian.
"They were homebodies," says Dave Cooper. "Their idea of a good time was to stay home and read."
And so when he recently got a call from a staff person at a nursing home he and his sister had considered for their parents, telling him that there was - finally - a vacancy, Cooper declined the offer.
He knows many people with Alzheimer's disease suffer a rapid decline if removed from their familiar surroundings; he knows his father is safe in his own home - and happy.
"But he couldn't stay without the people from Downsview Services for Seniors," he says. "They've been a godsend."

Fernando González answers Cuban bloggers' questions
Reprinted from CubanitoenCuba
Translated by CubaNews
1) Could you mention the five words you have had on your mind more often in these years you have unjustly spent in prison? If you wish you can elaborate on one or all of them.
Cuba, Family, Gratitude, Struggle, Freedom.
2) This will be your last St. Valentine's Day behind bars and without your [wife] Rosa. What are you planning for the next one, which you will finally be able to spend in the arms of your beloved?
Thank you very much for your question about one's human side and feelings, for it will help readers get to know us better as human beings. Now that the day of my release from prison and return to Cuba after being holed up for so many years is just around the corner, it's hard to think how I would like to spend such a significant date, but that's still a year away. Many things come to mind in my last hours in prison about the experiences I will live through in the coming days, all of them sure to be quite intense. There are many question marks, and a long list of wishes waiting to come true, which makes it difficult to plan right now for a day as distant as February 14, 2015. Even if my answer is not the one you wanted or expected, I know you understand. But since I have a whole year to think about how to celebrate that day, I can assure you that I'll do my best to make it very special. That I have already decided.
3) If you could talk to President Barack Obama, what would you tell him about your case and that of your comrades'?
My regards to Iroel Sánchez, whose works and others posted in La Pupila Insomne I read on a regular basis. I think it's very good blog with very good works and an important contribution to the struggle in the field of ideas and information.
If I could talk to the President, I would ask him to take an unprejudiced look, in his capacity as former professor of Constitutional Law, at the evidence in our case and the views that renowned and prestigious US and foreign jurists have expressed about it; to make an unbiased reading of the amicus briefs that more than ten Nobel prizewinners submitted to the Supreme Court; to try to make, as a former community activist, an impartial evaluation of the reality of life in Cuba, where I'm convinced he would see that many problems he worked so hard to solve in the streets of Chicago in his younger days have already been solved. He would see how hard our people work to have an ever more just society and realize that's what the Five were defending.
I would tell him that, as a politician, he should review history, the same history he has oftentimes urged us to forget, and see how Cuba has been forced to deal with over 50 years of aggression, and in many cases violent attacks, organized in Miami with no action whatsoever on the part of the authorities in charge of preventing them. Hence the need for what the Five were doing.
May he reach his own conclusions after looking at the whole issue from these three angles and, if he manages to do so objectively, I'm sure the four of us would join René in Havana the following day.
4) Fernando, you had the honor as an internationalist to take part in the struggle for Angola's independence which helped decolonize Africa and terminate apartheid. Is there anything about that experience which you could share with us Cuban bloggers?
My participation in the Angolan war was a turning point in my personal development. I was only 24 then and fresh out of the university. It was between 1987 and 1989, during the battle of Cuito Cuanavale, in which I was not involved. But I did get a taste of the advances on the Namibian border of the Cuban and Angolan troops deployed in the southwest.
I had the privilege of being appointed to the Cahama-based General Staff of the Southern Army and to witness the morale of the Cubans and Angolans who had participated in the southward-bound advance which tipped the balance in favor of victory and, together with the stand they took in Cuito Cuanavale, marked the end of the war, secured Namibia's independence and, as Mandela acknowledged, put an end to apartheid in South Africa.
From there I went to Lubango, from where the troops had left, to join the Task Force detailed there and worked with the FAPLA comrades in their General Staff. It was a very enriching experience to be with them every day and share with them the atmosphere of comradeship and fighting spirit we were all steeped in.
I was part of the honorable departure of our victorious troops, and one of the most exciting moments I've ever lived through was the way our people welcomed us when we arrived back home.
It was quite enlightening to see how a whole people who suffered from colonialism were fighting to preserve their independence and that we did our bit to help them in their great effort to move forward. I also saw for myself the effects of centuries of colonialism and the backwardness and underdevelopment Angola had endured from them, as well as the results of over ten years of war imposed from the outside. I learned more from that experience than I did from all the books I had ever read about capitalism and the consequences of colonization.
It was nice and instructive to see the Angolans resist and strive to carry on as they offered their soil to the Namibian SWAPO forces that were fighting for their national independence.
(Answer on the subject at a previous interview):
Angola was a major milestone in my life. I learned many things from the Cubans and Angolans around me; from their comradeship and solidarity in difficult circumstances; from their unaffectedness and collective endeavor despite any cultural barriers; from the way we learned from each other and our differences.
I was 24 or 25 then, but most Cuban soldiers and many of the Angolan troops were even younger than me. Many of the Cubans I saw there in those two years had the physical and psychological characteristics of youngsters barely out of their teenage years who were forged by discipline, responsibility and revolutionary conscientiousness, and I was going through that maturation process myself.
I had just graduated from the university as a city boy and thought the world was my oyster. But there I learned from Cubans and Angolans alike that there's more to one's character formation than just an education, and things like human sensibility and solidarity that are as no less, if not more, important than a degree.
Seeing with my own eyes the way colonialism affects people, the Angolans in this case, taught me more than every book I had ever studied. Those people's fighting spirit and willingness to leave their past behind by standing up to foreign aggression and domestic counterrevolution supported from abroad was also a lesson.
5) Even if being in prison really put your principles to the test, how do you explain the respect and recognition that the Five enjoyed in US penitentiaries? Were there demonstrations of solidarity from other inmates?
I ascribe the respect and recognition the Five gained in US prisons to a number of factors. First of all, when they watch you they see a serious individual who stays away from the typical dynamics of life in prison that become a breeding ground for conflicts among inmates. They also notice your cool and the mature advice or views you give to whoever requests it, and they see that you're discreet and tight-lipped about any problem or situation that another inmate shared with you. All of that leads others to respect you even if they don't know anything about the Five's case.
On the other hand, those who challenge the judge and prosecutors who brought you to trial are usually held in a certain respect, for such an attitude is not very common in a court of law.
Now, when they hear about why you were convicted, even if they don't know the details, other factors come into play which contribute to that respect, as they become aware not only that you were tried –which is deserving of some respect of itself, as I said– but also that you locked horns with all the hatred the US government usually has for whoever they consider a political enemy.
There's also another fact found at the root of it all: many people, even those who know nothing about the history of the US-Cuba relations or have no interest whatsoever in political issues, are instinctively aware that Cuba has withstood and still withstands the power of the American government. Therefore, they see in us a reflection of that resistance that we're part of. They link us to it, and that creates respect.
Add to all these factors the support that they know we get as much from the Cuban people as from many friends around the world. And they don't know the specifics, but they notice how many e-mails we receive and send, which they recognize as a sign the support we have.
Again, all these factors combine and, together, lead other inmates to see us as serious, dignified individuals and respect us accordingly.
6) How much have the messages and signs of support from Cuba and elsewhere influenced your capacity for resistance?
They've had a great influence. Not that we would have given up without them, but they no doubt make your resistance more bearable. Knowing that you can count on the understanding and support of a whole militant people and hundreds of thousands of friends worldwide inspires more confidence in victory. It also teaches you about those who fight for us in the disadvantageous position that they find themselves in countries where advocating for our case requires a lot of effort, initiative and perseverance.
Furthermore, receiving so many messages of solidarity and sympathy also has a practical, palpable impact. In my previous answer I told you about an angle of that impact, but also the prison authorities and many other inmates get to know who we are and all the support we receive, which to some extent has an influence on their caution in treating us in some circumstances. This is not to say that we get special treatment. It's just that they are careful about how they treat us.
7) We all know that the Cuban heroes are also flesh and blood. Tell us what are your favorite music, food, books or pastimes…
Well, I like to dance to Cuban music, particularly what's known as 'salsa'. I'm not a great dancer, but neither am I a wallflower. My favorite food is a criollo dish like pork and rice and black beans and, on the side, yuca con mojo [cassava, or manioc, on a garlic and oil-based sauce]. As to reading, I like topics like history, international economics, science, political and scientific subjects, and good fiction.
In my spare time I like to practice sports, or else watch them on TV.
8) Every generation has a role to play in the history of their country. You acted accordingly in the times that fell to your lot to live in. How do you feel about it? In your opinion, what challenges are facing Cuban youth nowadays?
I can say that I'm pleased that I fulfilled with dignity and honor what I consider to be my duty.
I'm aware of the historic reasons for my imprisonment, which was intended to punish Cuba; hence the grave injustice of our case. That awareness gives me serenity and peace. I know I'm in prison for an honorable cause and that makes me feel optimistic and even happy with the satisfaction of having fulfilled my duty.
It's not for me to define the specific challenges facing today's Cuban youth. I've been away from Cuba for many years, and no matter how much I have kept up with national events, I lack the regular contact with it that I think I would need to make such assessments and venture an opinion. In general, I believe our youth must prepare themselves as best they can from the professional viewpoint, but more importantly, they must learn values so that their present and future contribution to the continuity of the Revolution is the proper one in an increasingly complex world full of challenges and dangers. As I see it, a profound knowledge about our people's history and tradition of struggle is paramount in this connection.
9) In all these years in prison, which book(s) had the deepest impact on you?
Although I read many interesting books, there are two that made a real impression on me. The first one was Cintio Vitier's Ese sol del mundo moral, which I read soon after I started serving my sentence and it's a must-read because of the author's extremely interesting interpretation of our history and its exquisite literary style, a typical feature in Cintio's work, whom I consider the deepest Cuban essayist I've ever read.
As to my second favorite book, I read it almost at the end of my prison term because it was recently published. I hope it can be translated into Spanish in the near future, for every Cuban should read it too. It's titled Visions of Freedom: Havana, Washington, Pretoria, and the Struggle for Southern Africa, 1976-1991. The author is the American academic Piero Gleijeses, a Professor with Johns Hopkins University. He had already written a first book about Cuba's presence in Angola and now, after 15 years of research and consultation of documents never before released, he wrote what I deem a masterpiece.
Even if it is a scholarly book, I found it more exciting than any novel because it depicts Cuba's effort in Angola all the way till the final victory. It contains plenty of long excerpts from documents Cuba has declassified, including transcripts of meetings in which consequential and decisive decisions were made by top officials, our Commander-in-Chief, and high-ranking officers and political leaders, as well as their conversations with their Angolan and Soviet counterparts at the time.
What this author grasped very well from the Cuban, American, South African and other documents he reviewed is the Cuban Revolution's highly principled foreign policy, our people's altruism and strength of character, and the tactful treatment of –and respect for– every single contradiction which came up during Cuba's years-long presence in Angola. These did not without jeopardize our ability to make sovereign judgments and to defend at all times our political and military opinions about how to proceed which, as it turned out, prevailed and solved the conflict.
When you read that book you feel very proud of being Cuban and a revolutionary, proud of our leaders, and proud of having participated in that internationalist mission.
10) Heroism is to many people nothing but a thing of Hollywood or a history book. Do you see yourself as a hero?
I don't. I just did and do what I'm sure millions of Cubans would have done. At any rate, all I can say is that it was my privilege to do what millions would have liked to have the chance to do and, faced with adverse circumstances at a defining moment, I took a stance that I believe is in keeping with the history of our people and their fighting spirit and ability to resist. The vast majority of Cubans, not just the five of us, carry in our hearts those values, instilled in us throughout our people's history of struggle. That's why I say that millions of Cubans would do the same, and that's why the Revolution is alive and moving forward.
11) What role did music play in your life in prison? Are the Revolution's achievements properly reflected in today's Cuban music?
I'm not up to speed on Cuban music these days, especially the current kind. I hardly had any access to Cuban music during my time in prison, and very little in the last year and a half to the music we made 15 or 20 years ago, nothing fresher than that. So I can't make any comment on our music's evolution, or what you call "today's Cuban music".
As to the other question, I can definitely say that listening to music, and ours in particular, however old it may be –the kind I could enjoy lately– is like strolling down memory lane and seeing my friends, my younger days, my hometown, our culture, and so on. As we say in prison, it's like "going on a trip".
12) What's the main challenge facing the international solidarity movement for the Five and where should we focus our efforts on?
I try to be very careful about my opinions on the international solidarity movement, so much so when it comes to what I think should be done. For starters, it's their effort, not something conducted by the Five. Also, those people work hard, with few resources, and overcome many difficulties. We owe them a lot, and I feel a great sense of gratitude toward all members of that movement.
This being said, I guess the main challenge –and I'm not reinventing the wheel here– is clear to them and can be put like this: how to reach out more and more to the political decision-makers, mainly in the US.
History shows that when it comes to social struggle and when injustice takes place, the US government finds in favor of those causes only if it fits their political purposes or when keeping the wrong proves to be more expensive than making things right. The international solidarity movement, whose members are experienced in fighting for justice and striving to make certain social changes, are fully aware of this.
The problem is how to create those conditions so that, for instance, the political cost of keeping us in prison is higher than what the political authorities consider the benefit of not releasing them. I think the main challenge facing the movement is how to raise awareness of this end and educate the political sectors so that the demands that our brothers be freed become louder and the political decision-makers realize the political cost of not doing it.
Again, our friends are aware of this. This is hardly any news. The thing is how to succeed when these people carry no political clout and have no money to get some and make things work in this country. And I know very well that those friends are constantly thinking up ways of working better and more effective. Backing the London event of early March and the "5 Days for the Cuban 5" to be held in June precisely in Washington, D.C. would be concrete ways of helping reach that goal.
13) A message to young people as essential actors of this struggle?
Using their initiative, energy and enthusiasm as well as their ability to get through to others like them and their mastery of the new Its, youth can and should play a key role in this struggle.
Time- and energy-consuming tasks are underway at community level to educate people about our case and reach out to elected US officials to which young people can make a pivotal contribution.
Twitter, Facebook, and other digital communication media are also tools that young people, either in the US, Cuba or other countries, can make the most of depending on their possibilities and resources.
They can use their creativeness and the typical messages and codes available to the new generations to make a significant contribution and help make the truth about our case known to hundreds of thousands of other youths in the world who have not heard about it, or send letters to elected US officials requesting our release or disseminating facts about our case.
I would tell young people to join the struggle with enthusiasm and commitment. Without them, our goals would be much harder to reach.
14) What helped you serve your sentence with integrity and withoug your will being broken? Do you have any anecdote or "slogan" –I mean, as an element of reaffirmation– that helped in any way?
What mostly helped me do my time without giving up my principles is the awareness that we are defending a just cause, which confers calm and capacity to both cope with the circumstances, hard though they may be, and put your situation into context.
We know that what they do to us is to punish, or try to punish, Cuba for its audacity to build a just society despite the animosity of the most powerful country on Earth, which is still reluctant to come to terms with the fact that Cuba is an independent and sovereign nation.
Understanding that helps us keep our predicament in perspective and accept it with honor and dignity, and it gives us a more comprehensive view about the meaning of our case in the framework of US hostility toward the Cuban Revolution. Without trying setting ourselves up as a symbol or anything, I hope that the US government learns that they will not break the Revolution any more than they could break the Five.
We would have never given up our principles, not even in the utter isolation we endured in the early years of our imprisonment, and I know that our brothers who remain in prison will do the same even in the most difficult conditions. However, the solidarity and support that we have received from the Cuban people and so many other friends everywhere make your sentence easier to bear and become to us a commitment of resistance and combativeness.
15) How do you appraise your friendship with Oscar López Rivera? I'm in touch with him and he told me he has a great affection for you.
I was honored to share with Oscar a little more than four years of my prison time. He is a person of strong convictions that I respect and admire. It was thanks to him, for example, that I took up drawing. He's been a painter for many years and helped me take my first steps.
I learned many things from him. He lived through the struggles of the 1960s and 70s in the US, the Vietnam War and, in the 1950s, the Puerto Rican migration to the US, where they suffered poverty and racial discrimination. There's a part of US history that is not found in any textbook: that of the struggle waged by revolutionary African-Americans, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans and even Anglo-Saxons, whose groups were very active in the 1970s as they clashed with the system's most ferocious repression.
Oscar is quite familiar with that struggle, so he told me about it and gave me books written by some of those who were involved in it. For instance, some African-American political prisoners have been in prison for over 40 years as a result, and they're largely unknown even in their own communities. We also talked very much about Puerto Rico and the reality of life in that island that remains a US colony even now in the 21st century.
Oscar has spent over 30 years in prison and suffered a great deal of mistreatment, especially in the first two decades, in the hands of the authorities, who poured on him all the hatred they feel for those they call political enemies. So I also learned from him about life in prison.
Since he's well-informed and has a clearly-defined ideology, I could talk with him about the country's political situation, topical subjects, history, etc. and gained a knowledge I would otherwise had missed, as what prevails in prison is misinformation about, indifference to, and disregard for those topics.
Oscar is a great human being that made my stay in prison all the more productive in terms of my preparation and education. I wish him all the best, and that the support of his people and friends lead to his release, although I know very well that he's willing to make as many sacrifices as necessary and do it with cool-headedness, dignity and honor. But he deserves to be free with his sisters, his daughter, his granddaughter and his people. My warmest regards for him.
16) Any plans for when you arrive in the island?
At first, above all else, to spend time with my family and Rosa Aurora, from whom I've been separated for so many years; greet my brothers' relatives; to meet with friends I have not seen for a long time; and to try to fill myself up with the Island and the lifestyle we're used to enjoying and which I miss so much. I'd like to swim in the sea –weather permitting– and walk around Havana. These are the first things to do, there will be time afterwards to make other plans.
As to the future, generally speaking, I will join the struggle for the return of my other brothers and strive for that goal to the best of my ability.

In a bowl put the ground beef, ground cauliflower, salt, and pepper. Use your hands and Mix it into balls. Divide it into 8 even sized balls.
Lay out your cabbage leaf. Put a hamburger ball in each one, placing it closer to you. Wrap the sides in towards the center. Tightly roll it away from you. Secure with a toothpick. Place in the bottom of a saucepan. Repeat with the remaining seven. Cover with the tomato sauce and diced tomato. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on medium heat for an hour or so, until the hamburger is no longer pink in the center.
While it is cooking prepare the mash. Place the cauliflower florets in boiling water. Cook until tender and soft. Strain. Process with the remaining ingredients.
Once all the components are done, lay down some mash, put a roll on top and enjoy!!!!! It heats and eats great later too.

Pete's Curveball
tales from a "baseball lifer"
Adam Laroche, First Baseman, Nationals
January 26, 2014 December 21, 2014 Pete "Hit 'n Run" Wood Leave a comment
Courtesy of Buck Commander
The Nat's first baseman, Adam Laroche, is an avid hunter. He is far from the only baseball player who spends much of his off-season tromping around the US outback trying to outsmart some big wild animals. But Adam makes a bigger challenge out of it by utilizing a bow and arrow! What's more, he founded and co-owns the big-game hunting show "Buck Commander" on the Outdoor Channel. Adam recently described his "dream hunt" this way: "I would hunt grizzly bear with my bow and hopefully have my son (almost 12 year-old Drake) at my side." One wonders what Drake's mother as well as the Nats management would have to say about that!
Courtesy of Washington Post
Since Adam Laroche signed with the Nats in 2010, his son Drake has become a part of the team. During batting practice he can be seen flitting around the outfield chasing big-league flyballs and jumping up and down when he snags one in his black glove. He refers to Nats players like he would school recess buddies: Desi, Zim, Bryce, J-dub.
One day last Spring the Nats were out jogging and playing catch on a day that was unusually cold for Florida. A couple of the veterans came up with a novel solution to this "problem." They asked Drake to represent the team's wishes by going to then-manager Davey Johnson and persuading him to let the team do indoor workouts that day. Drake took on the task calmly and convinced Johnson to bring the team in out of the cold! Later, when a reporter heard the story, he pulled Davey aside and asked him how "the kid' had pulled off the feat. Davey chuckled as he replied "the kid should be the team's representative to the Players Association; he gave me no
On the day in Sept. 2012 that the Nats clinched the National League East title, while most of the team was guzzling beer, Drake was in the corner with the other underage kid in the clubhouse, Bryce Harper, sipping apple cider.
Adam Laroche himself grew up in big league clubhouses. His father Dave pitched in the majors until Adam was 4, and then became a coach with the Chicago White Sox.

I am hetero for the ACE Del16 rs4343 G AG +/- mutation if that is the correct one, I'll have to look into that one more for sure, I haven't even started looking at the ACE yet.
I've looked at the first two links you posted so far and I have almost all of the symptoms of parasites that the second link talks about. There was about a month in between the time I took ABX and the time I got C.Diff. So I'm thinking that I had basically no gut flora for a month and I was eating a lot stuff that could have harbored parasites. Plus the fact that I had candida as well, it just makes me wonder what other nasty stuff grew and is still affecting me.
I do want to get a test done from one of the labs mentioned but they are more than I can afford for now, but maybe in a month or so. I'm debating whether to just try and blast whatever is in there was a bunch of different anti-parasite stuff, or try and figure out if there's actually anything there and what species it is so I can tailor my treatment.
I spent awhile going through my OAT test last night and noticed that one of the markers showed I was deficient in L-Leucine. I know Leucine is critical in energy production and protein synthesis, so that could be causing some problems too. I have taken BCAA's with leucine in them for the past 9-10 years(that was when I started working out hard), I have also taken creatine cycled on and off for about that long. But since I got sick I haven't taken any of either. I ordered some BCAA's and Creatine and I will try it out. I noticed that a few people on pheonix forums tried creatine and had awesome results.
I also ordered some of the supplements suggested by Rich, I'm gonna try taking the Yasko multivitamin, Folapro, Phosphatidyl Complex(PS-100). I didn't get the other one he suggests because I know the folic acid form of folate I can't tolerate. So I'm interested to see if all this stuff will help out.

Turkey Jim's Covered Bridge Campton, NH
Turkey Jim's Covered Bridge details and photos.
Information about Turkey Jim's Covered Bridge in Campton, NH:
Turkey Jim's Covered bridge is located at Branch Brook Campground on Rt. 49 (Campton Village Rd) in Campton NH and crosses Branch Brook. GPS coordinates: N43.852316, W71.658996.
Turkey Jim's Covered Bridge was built in 1958 and is listed in the World Guide of Covered Bridges (WGCB), number 29-05-07, and is New Hampshire covered bridge #42.
Turkey's Jim's Covered Bridge got it's name from the previous property owner, Jim Cummings who owned a turkey farm there called Turkey Jim's Turkey Farm.
The original bridge at this location was built in 1883 (some sources say 1874) but had to be replaced in 1958 as it was structurally unsafe. Turkey Jim's covered bridge was swept away by flood waters in 1964. A team of people retrieved the bridge and placed it back on it's abutments. On Sunday August 28, 2011, a powerful tropical storm "Irene" made its way up the Eastern coast and into NH causing many rivers to flood. Turkey Jim's Covered Bridge was once again swept away by the Pemigewasset River. Turkey Jim's Covered Bridge slammed into another bridge downstream, cutting off the main access route to Branch Brook Campground. The bridge was once again restored and placed back on its abutments.

Things to Know Before Renting Portable Storage in Vancouver | Vancouver Portable Storage | Ferguson Moving & Storage Ltd. Ferguson Moving & Storage Ltd Things to Know Before Renting Portable Storage in Vancouver | Vancouver Portable Storage | Ferguson Moving & Storage Ltd.
With the housing prices in Metro Vancouver soaring, people are moving into smaller and smaller spaces to try to reduce the cost of rent. But sometimes, you just need more space. Usually, it's not more space to live in, but more space to store your stuff. What is a solution to this problem? Portable storage units! In this article we would like to offer some advice on this topic.
If what you are storing are small fragile items, it is wise to individually wrap them in bubble wrap before putting them in boxes. If they are not so easily broken, a time-saving way to pack a lot of small lighter items into boxes is to fill the boxes with expanded polystyrene (packing peanuts) or newsprint. You may be tempted to just use old newspaper instead of newsprint. Newsprint is unprinted newspaper. These are relatively inexpensive at stationery stores or stores that provide packing supplies. The risk with using old newspaper is that the ink of the paper may come off and stain your items.
The type of boxes used are important in packing for storage. You may be able to tape of a cardboard box up and stack them up on top of each other easily. However, an advantage plastic storage tubs have over cardboard boxes is that they have a resealable lid. If you will access your items multiple times a year, it is not practical for you to always cut open your cardboard box and find tape to reseal it again. With a plastic storage box, you will always have easy access to what you need throughout the year. plastic storage boxes can also guard against water better than cardboard.
Storing furniture in Vancouver: prevent mould and mildew!
The biggest culprit to furniture damage when storing them away is mould. From our previous article on moving with mould in Vancouver, we know that mould loves moisture. To prevent mould, the first thing to remember is to ensure your furniture is clean and well-treated. For wooden furniture, it is worthwhile to invest some time into polishing it and treating it with linseed oil or furniture polish. This will decrease the chances of mould. With generic adderall actavis leather furniture, polish and wax the leather to repel moisture from seeping. It is also recommend to prevent your furniture from leaning against a storage room wall. This will allow for maximum air circulation around the furniture. Remember to keep it off the ground by elevating it on wooden pallets! Plastic wrapping your furniture is not recommended, since it is least breathable and will retain moisture. Instead, use a porous light fabric or cloth to cover your furniture.
Because furniture is designed to be stored in their upright position, it is best also to store them in this way. You may be tempted to use your Tetris skills and arrange them in the best possible way to get everything to fit. However, storing furniture in this way may cause damage due to improper weight distribution, and may warp its shape.
Do you have home insurance or renter's insurance already in place? According to our research, a lot of policies (TD, Canadian Direct, Westland) include off-premises property protection for a variety of things. However, depending on the policy, there are restrictions. Aside from deductibles and maximum limitations, there are a list of things that the homeowner's or renter's insurance will not cover or will be limited on covering. Take note of various valuables like stamp collections, jewelry and furs, bicycles, and other more expensive items specifically listed on your policy. Other things to take note of is whether the policy will cover loss or damaged due to vandalism, theft, fire, earthquake, and other natural disasters.
After reviewing your home insurance policy, you may feel that it is not enough to cover your valuables in storage. At this point, you have two options. One is to buy insurance provided by the storage facility. The other is to buy storage insurance from a third-party insurer in addition to the insurance provided by your portable storage company. There are many different policies out there for storage insurance. It may be helpful to contact a local broker to find the best policy for your needs.

Dalhousie University board of governors approve building new on-campus arena
By Aya Al-Hakim Global News
Posted June 23, 2021 9:16 am
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew Vaughan
Dalhousie's board of governors announced Tuesday that it has voted in favour of building a new Dalhousie Event Centre on campus.
In an e-mail sent to Dal's community, the executive director of athletics and recreation, Tim Maloney, said the centre is currently in the development phase.
The new centre will bring a new arena and community recreation facility to Halifax's Studley Campus. It will be built behind LeMarchant Place in the same location as the former Memorial Arena, which was torn down in 2012.

"All of Dalhousie's ice-related activities have been operating out of the Halifax Forum since then and we've seen a significant decline in program participation and offerings for students," Maloney said.
The new centre aims to change that as it will provide an on-campus home for student ice-related programming, varsity athletics, and the broader Dal community.
The centre will also have a physiotherapy clinic and event spaces.
While still in the development phase, Maloney said design plans will be developed in the coming months to be issued for an external design-build competition with an initial targeted opening date in the fall of 2023.

Atlético Madrid vs Barcelona Live Stream, News & Info's (April 13, 2016)
UEFA Champions League, Quarterfinal - Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will meet for the 4th time in this season Wednesday night, competing in the UEFA Champions League for a place in the semi.
The Spanish media have understandably built up the all-Liga quarter-final, with Sport suggesting keys to the match would be to stop Atletico scoring early on set pieces, and the intelligence of Messi if he rediscovers form after two low-key performances of late. Barcelona's wonder stories will take on Atletico Madrid in the most important match of the season in Champions League quarterfinal first leg at Camp Nou this Tuesday night, 05 April 2016.
The FC Barcelona, for their part, have been quick to point out Luis Enrique has won all seven games against Atlético Madrid, including a title-winning victory last season and three 2-1 wins this term so far. A first-leg Champions League quarterfinal win over Atletico Madrid stands as FC Barcelona's only victory in its last four matches.

К-1 — советская крейсерская дизель-электрическая подводная лодка времён Великой Отечественной войны, головной корабль серии XIV типа «Крейсерская».

История строительства
К-1 была заложена 27 декабря 1936 года на заводе № 194 «Им. А. Марти» в Ленинграде. Спуск на воду состоялся 28 апреля 1938 года, К-1 включили в состав 13-го дивизиона учебной бригады подводных лодок Балтийского флота. 16 декабря 1939 года лодка вошла в строй.

История службы
26 мая 1940 года К-1 вошла в состав Краснознамённого Балтийского флота, летом того же года К-1 вместе с однотипной К-2, эсминцем «Стремительный» и несколькими прочими кораблями, проследовала через Беломоро-Балтийский канал. 6 августа вошла в состав Северного флота, зачислена в 1-й дивизион бригады подводных лодок Северного флота с базой в Полярном.

На 22 июня 1941 года командиром лодки был К. А. Чекин. После того, как два подряд командира лодки выявили своё несоответствие должности, К-1 по собственной просьбе взял начальник штаба бригады капитан 3-го ранга М. П. Августинович, за два неполных года командования ставший по итогам войны одним из самых результативных командиров-подводников. Входившая в дивизион Гаджиева подводная лодка К-1 стала единственной, на которой комдив не выходил в походы «для обеспечения».

Лодка пропала без вести в 1943 году во время последнего похода в районе Новой Земли. Предположительно потоплена немецкой ПЛ.

Боевые походы
Лодка совершила 16 боевых походов общей продолжительностью 196 суток, совершила одну торпедную атаку двумя торпедами и 10 минных постановок, в которых выставила 146 мин. Торпедная атака с дистанции 10-11 кабельтовых оказалась безрезультатной, хотя по официальным советским данным того времени считалось, что К-1 потопила транспорт. На выставленных минах по проверенным послевоенным данным погибли 5 судов и 2 боевых корабля.

Суда, погибшие на минах К-1
 8 ноября 1941 года — транспорт «Flottbeck» с военным грузом, 1 930 брт, погибло 13 членов экипажа;
 26 декабря 1941 года — транспорт «Kong Ring», 1 994 брт, погибло 257 солдат-отпускников и 12 членов экипажа, спасено 12 человек;
 8 апреля 1942 года — транспорт «Kurzsee» с грузом продовольствия, 754 брт;
 23 мая 1942 года — транспорт «Asuncion» с грузом в 2 454 т продовольствия, 4 626 брт;
 12 сентября 1942 года — транспорт «Robert Bormhofen» с грузом угля, 6 643 брт;
 6 декабря 1942 года — сторожевые корабли V6116 и V6117; на обоих кораблях погибло 57 моряков и 8 отпускников-военнослужащих Вермахта.

Суммарный тоннаж погибших судов — 15 947 брт.

Кроме того, на минах, выставленных К-1 3 апреля 1942 годах в проливе Маур-сунд, 17 февраля 1943 года получил повреждения транспорт «Moltkefels» (7863 брт), в трюмах которого находились советские военнопленные.

The man who authorities say beat his own 5-year-old son, Joe Clyde, to death last week displayed quiet, calm and eccentric behavior throughout his life.
The Joseph Ray Daniels who authorities say beat his own 5-year-old son, Joe Clyde, to death last week displayed quiet, calm and eccentric behavior throughout his life, according to classmates and a former taekwondo instructor, but with violent outbursts always just a moment away.
The parents of 5-year-old Joe Clyde Daniels, the Dickson, Tenn., boy whose father confessed to his murder, appeared in Dickson County Juvenile Court Tuesday.
Alex Chappell, another Dickson County High classmate who had homeroom with Daniels, remembered Daniels talking to himself regularly in class.
Daniels, 28, also showed an academically focused side. He earned scholarships for computer information technology at Tennessee College of Applied Technology in Dickson. Later, he landed a job at a Dickson information technology company.
In recent years, Daniels started taking taekwondo classes and earned a black belt at Dickson Taekwondo.
"He was supposed to start back taking classes this week," said Dickson Taekwondo owner Tony Lewis.
"It was all last year," Lewis added.
This year, Daniels stopped paying, attended only four times and had not set foot in the business since March 5, Lewis said.
Lewis said another possible employer never called, though.
Lewis said he was "not close" to Daniels. But he never saw the flashes of anger and short fuse others described.
Lewis recalls seeing Daniels' wife, Krystal, in the studio at times. But none of their children took part in the lessons.
"We are all shocked at what happened, heartbroken. ... We don't understand anything," Lewis said.
Seyler, who works at a popular Dickson fast food restaurant, said despite her memories of Daniels' temper, she was "shocked" when she heard the news.
"I would never had guessed he do this," said Seyler, adding that the family ate at the restaurant almost daily.

It suggested readers "bomb a mosque" and "throw acid in [the] face of a Muslim," among other things, assigning a point value to each vicious act, with "verbally abuse a Muslim" assigned 10 points and "nuke Mecca" topping the list at 2,500 points.
It's "a hateful attempt to divide us — and it will not succeed," City Council Speaker Corey Johnson said. But police will "take the utmost attention to make sure nothing happens," a source said.
The flyer has made its rounds on New York social media, but a majority of shares were by people who oppose "Punish a Muslim Day," according to police.
There are no credible threats against Muslim houses of worship or community centers at the moment, according to NYPD sources.
Noor Rabah of the Muslim Civilian Observation Patrol suggested the faithful take extra precautions.
"It's good for you to have someone with you, to be around company, not to be out late unnecessarily," he said.
The flyers began circulating in the UK in March, when they were sent to Muslim members of the UK Parliament, prompting a counter-terror investigation by officials there.
