Herons top Saints in double overtime
William Smith senior Brelynn Nasypany scored her 15th goal of the season 2 minutes, 10 seconds into the second overtime period to lift No. 10 William Smith to a 2-1 Liberty League victory at St. Lawrence on Saturday afternoon.
Nasypany took a short pass from sophomore Whitney Frary at the top of the box and went one-on-one with Saint junior goalie Abby van Geldern, stepping around the diving Saint keeper before putting the ball into the empty net at the 102:10 mark to give the Herons the victory.
With her goal today, Nasypany ranks third on the William Smith program list with 50 career goals, and second all-time with 125 career points.
The Herons improves their record to 11-2-2 overall and 4-0-2 in the Liberty League. The Saints are now 9-6-0 and 2-4-0 in the league. William Smith outshot St. Lawrence, 30-11.
St. Lawrence opened the scoring when junior Devon Shatkin headed a corner kick by junior Katherine Polido past William Smith goalie Amanda Davis 3:25 into the game. It was the first goal of the year for Shatkin.
The Herons tied the score at the 12:52 mark when Frary sent a through pass into to the box where junior Chelsea England collected it and scored her third of the season, going one-on-one with van Geldern.
Davis finished with five saves for the Herons and van Geldern recorded 10 saves in net for the Saints. The two teams were even at 3-3 in corner kicks.
William Smith will play another Liberty League game tomorrow, Oct. 24, at Clarkson at 1 p.m.

The world is completely dark when I close my eyes. I can only hope that it is only temporary since I am unable to see everyone I care about. I can not appreciate the beauty of a setting rainbow, yellow sun, or brilliant stars on a summer night.
Your newborn baby, the love and life you invested in its little, ideal body, is beginning to lose its vision. In a few years, she or he will step into the realm of empty spaces. Like the majority of parents, you most likely don't know someone who is blind. However, you do now. Infancy or early childhood sufferers of Leber's congenital amaurosis (LCA), an inherited retinal disease, experience severe vision impairment. Lack of information causes a delay in the condition's diagnosis. There is presently no treatment for it. – What's next?
I really believe that we are capable of healing any illness and alleviating any kind of pain. I believe in offering complete treatment to those with uncommon diseases. What makes me an essential component of this vast ecosystem based on the study of life?
It is the original hypothesis that, if we can raise Key Opinion Leaders' (KOLs') knowledge of what it really means to be blind, the lengthy and expensive process of medication development could start to be enjoyable.
By introducing patients to KOLs, we raise engagement for everyone.
Should we provide more details about the importance of the essential needs, assistive technology, and white canes used by blind people?
– We'll transform into innovative proponents of novelty. Should we emphasize how important guiding dogs are?
– We'll keep in touch with our genuine emotional desires. Should we stress how important education and braille reading are?
– Visually healthy people provide themselves the chance to approach scientific problems differently and come up with fresh solutions. We allow for empathy while maintaining strong business & legal standards, making us exceptional innovators throughout the entire process of bringing breakthrough medicines to life.

The supreme lean in Smooth Criminal required patented trick shoes, but Michael Jackson's Moonwalk needs nothing fancier than a pair of jersey knit socks and a bit of patience. Using this wonderful little gifographic by Jacob O'Neal, you can duplicate Jackson's moves in just five easy steps. The catch? The unofficial sixth step is a whole lot of practice.

I spotted this coat on a friend of a friend last winter, and had that fatal connection in which you know you'll subtly ask where it was from, then barely be home before googling if you can get your hands on it. I did however resist as spring was around the corner, but I held that thought. As soon as the flip flops were kicked off at the end of summer I unparked the lust and was dead chuffed to see Zara had restocked this perfect school run coat. Long, feather padded, super snug. Yep, this baby was mine. I have to admit I'm a little unsure about the removable fur collar – but that's the beauty of removable! In my opinion the coat looks better without it, but when those frosty mornings kick in it might just be a lovely bonus. I'm very happy that this long term, distant love affair has finally come to fruition.
As I've mentioned, I needed a mother of the baby christening outfit. I had tried on half a dozen other dresses in other stores before stumbling across this one. They were all either a little too risque for church, or aged me about 20 years. The words 'I'm not feeling this seventies trend' had barely passed my lips, as I picked up this patterned dress to try on, among 5 others which appeared more hopeful. This little number was certainly the dark horse – it was a 'this is the one' moment. The print is stunning, the fabric is floaty, the cut is so flattering, the dress hangs in the most gorgeous way, with a slightly longer hem at the back – perfect. On the hanger, this dress shouldn't work, but it just does. It's elegant, appropriate yet somehow trendy, and made me feel a million dollars. I'm so pleased I tried it on, and I cannot wait to wear it next Sunday.
Okay, shirts weren't on the pre-agreed shopping list. But they are everywhere right now aren't they? So easy to wear at this time of year when the weather is between seasons, and some beautiful prints on the rails which to me are like a moth to a flame. I figure I'll never be able to afford nice things again, or for a while anyway, so just couldn't resist trying this on. It's side details are really unusual and this looked gorgeous with some skinny leg trousers*.
*Skinny leg trousers, I really do need some of those, don't I? These are described online as leggins, but they are thick fabric with a front pleat, much more similar to skinny trousers. There will be no see through bum moments in these slacks. The wide elasticated waist is *hallelujah* to us post baby Mums, and they are cut in an ankle grazer length, perfect for ankle boots or heels. I've been looking for a pair like this as I have so many nice tops and jackets, but don't have any smart 'up to date' trousers to pair them with. Jeans are my usual go-to, but It's nice to go a little smarter sometimes. And what If I need to go to an interview? I can't wear those Topshop synthetic boot cut trousers from 2002 can I? That's the perfect justification. Sold to the lady already carrying a coat, dress and shirt.
I agree that dress is stunning!
That dress is stunning – nice purchase, you will look amazing in that dress!
Gorgeous choices!! I have a thing for coats, I've got loads! But still working on getting most of them done up…! Love the print on the dress, and I love love love the shirt!! I like that you mentioned 'between seasons' weather. Whenever my mum tells me what she's bought at the shops, she says 'I got a jacket, some shoes and a load of inbetweeny tops, for you know, those inbetweeny weather days.' It always makes me smile! Zara is fab, it was my favourite high street store before my post baby body decided it was only going to look good in leggings and oversized baggy t-shirts/sweaters ever again!
Some great buys there. Unfortunately at the moment my circumstances mean that I also cannot go further than Primarni but if I came into some money you can bet your bottle dollar I'd bet having a mass wardrobe overhaul. It's way overdue. Love that dress by the way!
ive been searching for a coat and i love that anorak!

White House accuses Voice of America of spreading propaganda
President Trump used part of the Coronavirus Task Force briefing at the White House on April 15, 2020, to attack Voice of America days after a White House newsletter was critical of the government-funded outlet.
— REUTERS/Leah Millis
April 30, 2020 - Update
CDC bars Voice of America from interviewing officials, citing White House newsletter
Fewer than three weeks after a White House newsletter accused the news outlet Voice of America of uncritically spreading Chinese state propaganda, an internal memo at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control barred staff from responding to media requests from the outlet.
The memo — sent on April 30, 2020, but obtained by the Knight First Amendment Institute via a Freedom of Information Act request in June — directed CDC staff not to respond to interview requests from "anyone affiliated with Voice of America," specifically citing the 1600 Daily newsletter as a reason for the decision.
VOA Director Amanda Bennett said in a statement that they were "shocked" by the memo.
"For a federal agency's public affairs office to categorically deny in advance interview requests from VOA journalists... is even more troubling," Bennett said. "Efforts such as those outlined in the CDC memo can result in the kind of chilling effect on our journalism that we regularly see in the markets we broadcast to that have no free press — including in China and Russia."
She also called on the agency to immediately withdraw the directive.
On June 15, the day after the memo was made public, Bennett and VOA Deputy Director Sandy Sugawara announced their resignations from the outlet, citing the appointment of Michael Pack to head the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees VOA.
In an introductory email to the staff on June 16, Pack said, "I am fully committed to honoring VOA's charter, the missions of the grantees, and the independence of our heroic journalists around the world."
However, upon learning that Pack would be dismissing other agency staff members and implementing spending freezes, Rep. Eliot Engel, the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released a statement that same day about those actions compromising the integrity of USAGM's outlets.
"My fear is that USAGM's role as an unbiased news organization is in jeopardy under his leadership," Engel wrote in the statement.
"USAGM's mission is 'to inform, engage, and connect people around the world in support of freedom and democracy' — not to be a mouthpiece for the President in the run up to an election," Engel added.
The following day, the heads of four other news organizations overseen by the USAGM — Middle East Broadcasting, Radio Free Asia, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty and the Open Technology Fund — were abruptly ousted from their positions, the Associated Press reported.
A White House newsletter accused a U.S.-funded and independent international news outlet of uncritically spreading Chinese state propaganda on April 10, 2020.
The "1600 Daily" newsletter, which a White House official told ProPublica has approximately 2.5 million subscribers, was sent under the headline "Amid a Pandemic, Voice of America Spends Your Money to Promote Foreign Propaganda." It went on to assert that "VOA too often speaks for America's adversaries—not its citizens."
While attacks on the press have become commonplace on the president's Twitter feed, it came as a shock to many that VOA was singled out on a platform often used to highlight the president's accomplishments and daily schedule.
The newsletter specifically cited VOA's coverage of the coronavirus pandemic in China, criticizing the outlet for tweeting a video of the quarantine being lifted in Wuhan and alleged that the outlets used Chinese government statistics in its graphics.
In a response to the allegations, VOA Director Amanda Bennett detailed more than two dozen articles published by VOA in recent weeks on China's response to the pandemic and on the Chinese government's misinformation and lack of transparency. Bennett also noted that the data cited in the graphic mentioned by the newsletter was drawn from Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center, which has been used around the world.
"Unlike China, VOA has stuck to verifiable facts, including publishing numerous articles in Mandarin, English and other languages that outed China's initial secrecy keeping information of the initial outbreak from the world," Bennett wrote. "VOA has thoroughly debunked much of the information coming from the Chinese government and government-controlled media."
It is unclear what triggered the White House's targeting of the outlet. However, on April 9 — the day before the newsletter went out — Dan Scavino, an adviser to President Donald Trump who handles his social media strategy, retweeted VOA's post on the end of the quarantine in Wuhan. In his post, Scavino accused VOA of parroting Chinese propaganda and called the outlet a "disgrace."
Committee to Protect Journalists Executive Director Joel Simon condemned the newsletter in a statement and said the attack was appalling.
"It is outrageous that the White House is attacking Voice of America, which has a tradition of reporting stories that challenge the narratives of authoritarian regimes around the world," Simon said. "At this moment, citizens in some highly censored countries are depending for their health and safety on VOA news of the coronavirus, and President Trump should absolutely not undermine the news outlet's efforts to do its job."
While VOA has not been directly targeted by the president on Twitter, Trump went on a rant against the outlet during a press briefing in the Rose Garden on April 15, several days after the newsletter was published, Business Insider reported.
"If you hear what's coming out of the Voice of America, it's disgusting," Trump said. "The things they say are disgusting to our country."
At the same briefing, the president also railed against Congress for failing to confirm various nominees including Michael Pack, whom the president nominated to head the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees VOA. Trump also threatened to take the unprecedented step of forcing Congress to adjourn so he could install his nominees.

Prominent Jesuit Compares Salvini With Judas — Bergoglio-Church Takes Another Hit in Polls
Pope Francis with P. Bartolomeo Sorge SJ.
(Rome) The former editor-in-chief of the Roman Jesuit magazine La Civiltà Cattolica comes to his successor's aid and compares Matteo Salvini, the de facto leader of the European sovereignty movement, with Judas.
Matteo Salvini, leader of the Lega, Italian Home Secretary and Deputy Prime Minister, has been the "EU superstar" superstar since last May's EU elections. He has succeeded in forging a cross-party alliance. The sovereignty movement provides, which probably only Steve Bennon thought possible, more than a third of all MEPs, which is concealed by the media as much as possible, because this strengthening is not desired. Of course, the Alliance must first prove how closed it is on individual issues and how well it can get involved in the European Parliament. The first option is the appointment of the EU Commission President.
With 29 seats, the Lega is represented after counting all votes even with the same number of mandates in the EU Parliament as the Brexit Party by Nigel Farage and CDU and CSU together. Farage and Salvini represent the two strongest single parties.
The AfD had felt the headwind of the German Bishops' Conference under Cardinal Marx. An unusual scenario, since for decades the Church has rejected any partisanship as downright indecent, as if such things had never happened.
In Italy, the pressure against Salvini and the Lega was even more massive. Almost verbatim attacks by Church representatives against the AfD and the Lega suggest an ordered, but at least concerted party take. On the Apennine peninsula, however, everything was still a bit more emotional, aggressive and unconditional. In the Federal Republic of Germany it was a Protestant pastor who was caught destroying AfD posters. In Italy, however, it was Catholic monasteries that issued anti-Salvini banners.
The politicization of the Church, initiated by Pope Francis six years ago, has taken on an irritating course.
This includes a message from P. Bartolomeo Sorge SJ, who joined the Jesuit order in 1946 and was ordained a priest in 1958 for the Order. He was born on the island of Elba. His German surname was brought by his ancestors, who arrived in the 18th century to Sicily, whether still under the Habsburgs or already the Bourbons, is no longer known. The origin of the family Sorge, which is at least clear, is found in the Lower Franconian region and is located in the province of Zealand in the Netherlands today.
The seven-years-older P. Sorge was counted, like Fr. Jorge Mario Bergoglio among the group of brothers who were promoted by the Jesuit General Pedro Arrupe. Under Arrupe P. Sorge became the editor of Civiltà Cattolica, the most important Jesuit magazine in the world. At the time, Sorge was already a political strategist of "democratic Catholicism": he advocated a strong Christian DemocraticParty that was to be left-leaning, while rejecting "integralist" Catholic directions and organizations. The opponent for Sorge was on the right. Thus, in the 1970s, he struck the political nerve of the time when the Western European Communists proclaimed "Euro-communism" to emphasize their independence from the Soviet Union, and when in Italy the left wing of the Christian Democrats sought the "historical compromise" with the Communists.
According to a book published in 2017 by journalist Stefania Falasca, Pope John Paul I seriously contemplated P. Sorge in 1978 as a possible successor to the Patriarch of Venice, although he was "associated with some, somewhat suspicious, Catholic currents," as the then Pope himself in a personal letter to the Archbishop of Milan, Giovanni Cardinal Colombo, noted. General Arrupe had already given a positive opinion of Sorge. Resistance came, however, from Antonio Cardinal Poma, the Archbishop of Bologna and then President of the Italian Episcopal Conference. Reason was the public support on the part of Sorge for a "dialogue" with the Communist Party of Italy (PCI). The pontificate of John Paul I lasted only 33 days, and under John Paul II, P. Sorge was no longer eligible for the Patriarchal Office or another episcopate.
Sorge who will turn 90 this October is mentally fit and does not keep his opinion behind the mountain these days. In February 2018 he described his satisfaction with "myChurch between Martini and Bergoglio". These are the two Jesuit Cardinals Carlo Maria Martini and Jorge Mario Bergoglio, who were also candidates for the papal throne. Cardinal Martini failed at the first attempt in 2005, but Cardinal Bergoglio was successful in the second attempt in 2013. A quick success, considering that only in 2005 the first attempt was ever made in the nearly 500 years of religious history to make a Jesuit Pope.
Father Antonio Spadaro SJ, acting editor of the Civiltà Cattolica, has not been squeamish with Salvini and the Lega in recent weeks. P. Sorge, his predecessor, intensified the tone after Salvini's election victory. The Democratic referendum aroused the Jesuit so much that he drew a drastic comparison:
"Italy is leghistic, not Christian anymore. The Lega follower says, 'The Italians First', the Christian says, 'The Excluded First'. It is not enough to kiss Jesus in public, that's what Judas did. "
Already in advance, bishops, theologians and Jesuits had loudly heard who chose Lega, "is not a Christian." Something similar was already to be heard from episcopal mouths in Germany.
A Tweet from P. Sorge, in which he compares Salvini with Judas. Salvini himself spread the anathema from P. Sorge on Twitter to add his answer:
"See what this theologian writes ... All that is missing is that someone demands my excommunication so that we have experienced everything ... Forward: with faith, respect and modesty!"
It is unclear what benefit Santa Marta expects from such a confrontation. Because of the unconditional Refugees Welcome line has lowered approval ratings in Italy for Pope Francis before the EU election even lower than its previous low, according to a survey by opinion pollsters Demos.

Let us think of Rome at the time of Christ. Slavery, debauchery, capital punishment and so forth. Christ did not go around condemning the government for their bad actions. He was interested helping individuals to lead a better life. That's what we should expect from our Pope. Instead we have a spiritually bereft, politically incompetent would be Communist. We need a change up in the Vatican.

Please don't tell me that this is a demonstration of sympathy for useless boomer troll, Gaybrielle.
If I weren't almost a boomer myself, I'd figure out how to ban his ip or at least move to a platform where I could.
The KINGSHIP of Christ is a Catholic Teaching. But it requires the State, Constitution, and government to submit to the Moral and Social Order created and Redeemed by Christ. In His Name should the regime justify its actions. The Jesuits want regimes to act according to a vague idea of social justice without requiring individuals and the Social Justice to be guided and ruled by the correct moral order
The ironic thing is that Francis has been more politically engaged than any Pope since Pius XII, just not for the right side, but the side is Satan and his Synagogue and the Communist Party.
The Great Salvini has given Pope Francis plenty to sorge about. HA HA
JBQ June 11, 2019 at 8:22 AM
Good point about "Satan and his Synagogue". I can see now where the Orthodox would view Czar Nicholas as a saint who resisted socialism. The Bolsheviks were all pseudo Jews including Stalin who was an Orthodox seminarian. How many million Christians did they kill? They would do the same in the West. ---The followers of the Sanhedrin who murdered the Christ were behind it all and at the very heart of the reform movement in the Vatican and its use of homosexuality to destroy the Church. In America, it is not "the devil or the deep blue sea". It is the devil "and" the deep blue sea. The sordidness involved with the Democratic Party would "make a sailor blush".
cogito June 11, 2019 at 8:47 AM
A young man, a devout Catholic who would make an excellent priest, told me that the reason he will not is because the Church is "too political now."
Could that be why we lack vocations?

Faculty Spotlight: Meghan Hope
By	ACU Online Blog Team	on	June 30, 2021	in	ACU Programs, Healthcare, Spotlights	with 0 Comments
When people first think of healthcare, most think about the doctors and nurses whom we have face-to-face contact with during the course of our lives – but there is so much more to it than that. We sat down with Meghan Hope, ACU Online's Program Director for Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration and Master of Healthcare Administration programs from the College of Graduate and Professional Studies to hear how she is spurring on the next generation of healthcare administrators to lead and serve their communities from patient to co-worker.
A Heart for Healthcare
Meghan found her passion for healthcare early on in life. Inspired by family members in the field, she pursued an undergraduate degree in Biology from Midwestern State University in her hometown of Wichita Falls, TX. During her undergrad, she studied abroad in London and found her calling in public healthcare. There, she learned all of the ways she could make a difference in the lives of patients beyond the four walls of a hospital room.
After completing her undergrad, Meghan worked at a primary care physician's office, but realized she was not quite done learning the ins and outs of the administrative functions. She furthered her expertise at the University of Tulsa's College of Law where she got her Juris Doctor with a health law concentration and later received her Master of Healthcare Administration from Midwestern State University's online program.
From there she moved to Chicago where she oversaw radiation oncology operations at Rush University Medical Center and joined a healthcare regulatory operations consulting firm where she merged her love for management and health law.
In 2018, Hope joined ACU Online's program as an adjunct professor and was later asked to help construct the undergrad healthcare administration curriculum. From there, she was fully invested in ACU Online's ventures as the director for the bachelor's and master's programs in Healthcare Administration.
Curriculum Rooted In Care
A firm believer in remote learning as a prior online student herself, Meghan reflects that the opportunities the asynchronous program offers is a blessing to people who work full time jobs and still want to pursue their education. "They get real-life experience with practical application to their work as it's happening," she said. "I love being able to connect with my students and always make myself available for any questions they might have."
With healthcare being such a specialized industry to work in, Meghan feels it's her calling to make a difference in teaching students how to provide the best care to patients and how to properly meet the needs of physicians to make their jobs easier. Through her vast experience, she is able to share real world scenarios in the classroom to instruct students on topics from insurance to state and federal training.
"I want my students to leave ACU knowing that it's a difficult task to meet the needs of everyone…cutting cost, making sure physicians have treatments and making tech available…but having empathy and understanding of the patient's journey will help them make those challenging decisions," she commented. She explained that understanding what's right for the patient first and seeing things from their perspective is going to be their north star throughout their careers.
Mission-Minded
While her courses discuss in depth what is happening within the physical hospital, Hope has structured the curriculum to open students' eyes to community health and how it affects healthcare as a whole. She notes that the COVID-19 pandemic has made the ways in which healthcare is accessible to particular populations clearer than ever and how her students consider how healthcare is affected beyond physical hospitals and clinics.
Her program purposefully gives students' opportunities to explore an array of career avenues and find something they love. Her accomplished team of professors touches on both how to build a team and the technical skills needed for a meaningful career that will impact others. With a mission-minded outlook, Meghan is eager to see how her students will change the healthcare field for the better.

Today, a nation wide operation between the US Marshals and local police departments is being revealed to the public. Operation Falcon rounded up numerous men and women wanted on outstanding warrants.
The US Marshals and police went door to door serving warrants to fugitives with outstanding felony charges. They are currently holding a press conference this afternoon to reveal the success of this years operation to the public.
After they were sworn in, the US Marshals and police officers hit the streets in bullet proof vests knocking on doors, visiting family, friends and previous work locations of all the fugitives. Officials say this year went smoothly, only a few tried to run but all were immediately apprehended. Hundreds were arrested, cuffed and put behind bars during the operation.
The US Marshals say this year was even more successful than last year. They cleared the streets of hundreds with outstanding felony warrants ranging from thefts, to aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault of child and kidnapping.
Today's press conference includes at least one representative from each county including Fannin, Grayson, Lamar, Collin and Denton County. Its purpose is to share the operations success and the positive impact it has on our local community.
Officials say they will continue to search for fugitives that were not served during this investigation. We will have more details on Operation Falcon available tonight at 5 PM.

by Agatha Christie
224 pages, HarperCollins
Review by Pat Black
Welcome to the original slasher movie.
Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None is the most popular murder mystery of all time, having sold a reputed 100 million copies. To put that in perspective, The Beatles' Sergeant Pepper album has shifted about 32 million.
It's not a Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot book, which is a foreboding prospect straight away. There's no-one to root for, no quirky sleuth gathering clues - simply a cast list of suspects. And more chillingly still, they're all guilty in their own right, people with murky pasts and weighty consciences.
Sometimes Christie's novels can be jolly hockeysticks affairs, even when they're concerned with bloody murder. But this one has an especially dark side.
Ten people are gathered at the remote Soldier Island at the invitation of "Mr and Mrs UN Owen" – and seriously, folks, if you ever fall for that one, you probably deserve all you get. After following some instructions they play a gramophone record in which a scary voice accuses them all of murder. They are then confronted by the sight of ten mocked-up toy figurines corresponding to the nursery rhyme in the title (revised, redacted or otherwise). Worse still, they're all stuck where they are, after the ferry doesn't show up.
Everyone does have a secret. In some cases the characters have been responsible for outright murder. In others, they're guilty due to negligence, professional or otherwise. There seems to be no connection between them, and nothing connecting their guilt to the island.
Soon, they begin to die. There are poisonings, shootings, bludgeoning, drownings, and fire-axings, each death a gruesome re-enactment of the lines in the nursery rhyme. The idea of a creepy killer, UN Owen, roaming the island, unseen, bumping them off, is scary enough. But added to that is the even more frightening idea of the killer being one of the guests on the island.
With each death, the paranoia, suspicion and fear intensifies. What is the secret of Soldier Island? Who could be behind the murders? With little to go on and no-one to trust, the remaining islanders attempt to piece it together, before the killer wipes them all out.
Is it General Macarthur, the war hero, guilty of despatching his wife's lover on a suicide mission? Or maybe it's Vera the governess, tortured by guilt after a little boy in her care drowned? Or how about the mercenary Philip Lombard, whose actions led to an entire tribe dying in more tropical climes?
Retired copper William Blore had a man falsely sent to prison after being bribed – a man who later died. And then there's hanging judge Mr Justice Wargrave, a man with a fondness for liberally applying the death penalty.
Mr and Mrs Rodgers, the housekeepers, have a deadly secret of their own, having helped a former employer into an early grave. The dashing Tony Marston has innocent blood on his hands, having run over two children while drunk. Alcohol also plays a part in the past of the Harley Street doctor Armstrong, who operated on a client while drunk, with fatal consequences. And then there's ultra-moral, ultra-uptight Emily Brent, whose convictions led to a luckless young lass taking her own life.
All guilty after a fashion.
If the conventions of the story seem familiar, it's because they have been replicated in every single slasher/giallo film you've ever seen. UN Owen spills blood, leaves bodies behind and spreads terror. You can see his or her influence in the Friday the 13th, Halloween and Scream films - especially in the latter, where there's a strong whodunnit element. And the claustrophobia and sense of isolation in sci-fi thrillers Alien and The Thing have their dripping, tentacley roots in Agatha Christie's masterpiece. Even if you've never read a single murder mystery before, you should seek this one out.

The General zone regulates hunting opportunities for tree squirrel in California and covers 97,149 square miles. Public lands comprise 40,554 square miles (42%) of the total land covered by this hunt zone. The greater region is best serviced by Bridgeport, Bridgeport Reservoir, and Coleville. The elevation of the region ranges from a low of -200 feet to a high of 14,400 feet above sea level. Wildfires have burned nearly 357,415 acres here in the last two years, providing opportunities for new vegetation and attracting a variety of wildlife. This area contains 681 campgrounds, and 9 public fishing access sites.

Q: Why Service Connection is not called in onResume? I am working on background service where i am updating one Arraylist in the service, from the Arraylist i am getting the index and playing the songs.
So what's the issue now is if i'll Intent to another activity and inside that activity i am updating the Arraylist to the service but when i am finishing the activity and coming back to MainActivity it's not updating the Arraylist again.
I am using realm arraylist for storing the data.
@Override
protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    songConnection();

    if (playIntent == null) {
        playIntent = new Intent(this, MusicService.class);
        bindService(playIntent, musicServiceConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
        startService(playIntent);
    }
}

@Override
protected void onResume() {
    super.onResume();
    songConnection();
}

public void songConnection() {
    musicServiceConn = new ServiceConnection() {
        @Override
        public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
            MusicService.MusicBinder binder = (MusicService.MusicBinder) service;
            musicSrv = binder.getService();
            musicSrv.setList(musicRealmResults);
            musicBound = true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
            musicBound = false;
        }
    };
}

Here the musicRealmResults is the Realm Arraylist.
In Albums.java
musicRealmResults = realm.where(Music.class).equalTo("albums", albums).findAllSorted("albums", Sort.ASCENDING);

In MainActivity.java
musicRealmResults = realm.where(Music.class).findAll();

So in both activity the Arraylist size will be different and as per the size it should update to the Service.
So please tell me why it's not updating in onResume when the activity finish.
Please kindly go through my post and suggest me some solution.

A: change your code like this:
@Override
protected void onStart() {

    songConnection();// call this method before calling super

super.onResume();
}

public void songConnection() {
    musicServiceConn = new ServiceConnection() {
        @Override
        public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName name, IBinder service) {
            MusicService.MusicBinder binder = (MusicService.MusicBinder) service;
            musicSrv = binder.getService();
            musicSrv.setList(musicRealmResults);
            musicBound = true;
        }

        @Override
        public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName name) {
            musicBound = false;
        }
    };
 if (playIntent == null) {
        playIntent = new Intent(this, MusicService.class);
        bindService(playIntent, musicServiceConn, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
        startService(playIntent);
    }

}

now your your service when will called correctly But make sure you stop the Service at some point of time before it'
s started again. ThankYou I hope this was helpful.

Right, so Facebook has perpetual rights to content that you have ever posted - after you delete it, after you delete your account, after years, and years... after you are dead, even?
Facebook Privacy Change Sparks Federal Complaint: "The section in question explains how Facebook has an 'irrevocable, perpetual' license to use your 'name, likeness, and image' in essentially any way, including within promotions or external advertising.
That clause wasn't new. What had changed was that a sentence at the end of the paragraph was now mysteriously missing. The deleted line stated that the license would 'automatically expire' if you removed your content. With that line omitted, Facebook's license to use your content is simply 'perpetual' and 'irrevocable,' even decades after you delete your stuff."

7 devices in one chip navigate without GPS
The U.S. military relies on the space-based Global Positioning System (GPS) to aid air, land, and sea navigation. Like the GPS units in many automobiles today, a simple receiver and some processing power is all that is needed for accurate navigation.
But what if the GPS satellites suddenly became unavailable due to malfunction, enemy action, or simple interference, such as driving into a tunnel? Unavailability of GPS would be inconvenient for drivers on the road, but could be disastrous for military missions. DARPA is working to protect against such a scenario, and an emerging solution is much smaller than the navigation instruments in today's defense systems.
DARPA researchers at the University of Michigan have made significant progress with a timing and inertial measurement unit (TIMU) that contains everything needed to aid navigation when GPS is temporarily unavailable. The single-chip TIMU prototype contains a six-axis IMU (three gyroscopes and three accelerometers) and integrates a highly accurate master clock into a single miniature system that is much smaller than a penny. This chip integrates breakthrough devices (clocks, gyroscopes, and accelerometers), materials, and designs from DARPA's Micro-Technology for Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (Micro-PNT) program.
Three pieces of information are needed to navigate between known points A and B with precision: orientation, acceleration, and time. This new chip integrates state-of-the-art devices that can measure all three simultaneously. The elegant design is accomplished through new fabrication processes in high-quality materials for multi-layered, packaged inertial sensors and a timing unit, all in a tiny 10-mm3, package. Each of the six microfabricated layers of the TIMU is only 50 microns thick, approximately the thickness of a human hair. Each layer has a different function, akin to floors in a building.
"Both the structural layer of the sensors and the integrated package are made of silica," says Andrei Shkel, DARPA program manager. "The hardness and the high-performance material properties of silica make it the material of choice for integrating all of these devices into a miniature package. The resulting TIMU is small enough and should be robust enough for applications [when GPS is unavailable or limited for a short period of time] such as personnel tracking, handheld navigation, small-diameter munitions, and small airborne platforms."
The goal of the Micro-PNT program is to develop technology for self-contained, chip-scale inertial navigation and precision guidance. Other recent breakthroughs from Micro-PNT include new microfabrication methods and materials for inertial sensors.
New fabrication methods
The first phase of Micro-PNT's Microscale Rate Integrating Gyroscope (MRIG) program focused on 3D microfabrication methods using nontraditional materials, such as bulk metallic glasses, diamond, and ultra-low-expansion glass. Small 3D structures such as toroids, hemispheres, and wineglass-shaped structures were successfully fabricated, shifting away from the 2D paradigm of current state-of-the-art microgyroscopes.
These microscale inertial sensors work like Foucault pendulums commonly found in museums. The swinging direction of the pendulum slowly changes as the Earth rotates. Instead of a swinging pendulum, microscale inertial sensors send out vibrations across the surface of a 3D structure. The precession of the standing wave is measured, and any changes reflect a change in orientation. Among the several new fabrication methods created by DARPA to work with these microscale inertial sensors are:
Glass-blowing
[Image: University of Michigan]
Researchers developed fabrication methods that replicate traditional glass-blowing techniques at the microscale. The result is tiny 3D wineglass-shaped inertial sensors. These sensors are symmetrical enough to have a frequency split approaching 10 hertz, a result never before achieved at this size and approaching levels of symmetry required for high-quality navigation devices. The frequency split is a measure to predict the symmetry (and thus accuracy) of the device. It is a measure of the difference between two different axes of elasticity. The greater the difference, the more imperfection is present, resulting in a less accurate sensor.
Blown quartz
[Image: Georgia Tech]
Similar to glass blowing, quartz blowing can be used to make an even more symmetric structure. Researchers developed fabrication techniques needed to heat quartz to 1,700 deg C (a typical softening point for glass is about 800 deg C) and to then cool it rapidly. The fabrication can be performed in large-quantity batches, producing hundreds of devices on a single wafer.
Atomic layering of diamond
[Image: University of California, Irvine]
Layering diamond over a blown structure or depositing CVD diamond in a micro-well on the substrate have been shown to be effective, promising methods for creating highly symmetric, accurate 3D inertial-sensor structures.
"These new fabrication methods were thought to be unrealistic just a few years ago," says Andrei Shkel, the DARPA program manager.
"As work continues, DARPA hopes these new technologies will enable large-scale production of navigation-grade microscale inertial sensors," adds Shkel. "Production of 3D inertial sensors with these new techniques would cost about the same as today's integrated circuit, making them orders of magnitude smaller, cheaper, and more capable than current microgyroscopes."

Los Angeles County is always expanding, with a large number of construction projects underway on a daily basis. While we all realize that this amount of development is necessary and desired in our great county, it also increases the probability of injury to construction workers as well as bystanders and passersby. With the indisputable dangers involved on construction sites, the construction injury catalogues one of the highest rates of injury and death in the United States.
Out of the over 4,400 workers across the country that were killed on the job in 2013, 856 of those were killed in construction site accidents. Nearly 4 percent of all construction workers have been forced to take time off from work or have had job restrictions imposed because of job related injuries. Figures from OSHA confirmed that in 2012, the construction industry was responsible for a troublesome one out of every five worker fatalities.
It is very likely that we all know someone who has received worker's compensation benefits at one time in their life. Unfortunately, the small percentage of the injured person's salary that Worker's Compensation Insurance are willing to pay to compensate you for lost time at work, medical bills and other compensation is simply not sufficient.
If you have been injured at work on a construction site, your employment status as well as the extent to which your employer is responsible for your injuries will determine the outcome of your case. You will want the knowledge and experience of a savvy construction accident attorney at the Law Offices of Brent. A. Duque on your side to ensure that you receive the medical care and monetary benefits you are entitled to. If your injury is likely to keep you from working permanently, your lawyer can advise you about filing for Social Security disability benefits as well.
A construction worker who was injured on a job site might be eligible to recover further compensation in addition to Workers' Compensation. For example, let us imagine that an electrician working for 123 Electrician Contractors was on a ladder working. Signs and warnings were posted in the electrician's work area, but the ladder was hit by a van driven by ABC Contractors when the driver was distracted by his phone. He never saw the warnings, the ladder or the electrician. As a result of the fall, the electrician suffers a permanent injury.
Because ABC is a distinctly separate business entity, California law permits the electrician to bring a personal injury lawsuit against ABC and its driver at the same time he pursues his workers' compensation claim. That's called third party liability. Damages in the third party liability personal injury lawsuit aren't limited like those in a workers' compensation claim. While seeking damages in the lawsuit, the injured worker can also collect workers' compensation benefits for purposes of paying medical bills and keeping their household and family going.
A passing motorist, bystander or pedestrian may also face the possibility of injury or death around a construction site. A falling tool or piece of construction material can easily strike a passerby. A motorist, using all necessary due care and caution while driving around the site, can be hit by a truck or by a heavy equipment operator. While these people are independent of anybody working on the construction project, they are still permitted to file a personal injury lawsuit against any companies and employees on the site that they believe were responsible for their injuries.
At the Los Angeles County Law Offices of Brent A. Duque, we maintain a staff of a highly professional, knowledgeable, aggressive and successful construction site accident attorneys who represent injured people through our offices that stretch across Southern California. Strict time limitations apply to any injury claim you might have, so for purposes of investigating a possible case and possibly preserving evidence, it's best for you to contact us immediately after an accident. Contact the Los Angeles County law office of Brent A. Duque at 877-241-9554 for a free consultation and case evaluation. You can even use our online contact form, and we'll reply to you quickly.

Memories of Me is a 1988 American comedy-drama film by director Henry Winkler, starring Billy Crystal, Alan King, and JoBeth Williams.

This was the first theatrically released film directed by Winkler, who had previously directed the TV movie A Smoky Mountain Christmas. Much of it was filmed inside the MGM Studios in Culver City, California, only a few miles from Hollywood.

Plot
Abbie Polin, a New York heart surgeon, has a heart attack in the middle of surgery. An expert, he is able to instruct his colleagues on exactly what to give him and do to minimize the damage.

Abbie is later placed in a room and put on monitors. Fighting off sleep triggers a childhood memory in which he also resisted sleeping with his unsympathetic dad.

Watching old home movies with Lisa, the romantic interest in Abbie's life and pediatrician in the hospital, she asks about his family. His parents divorced when he was seven, and she is shocked when he admits his father is still living, as he´d talked as if he wasn't. His mother lives in Vermont.

Abbie goes to Los Angeles to see his father, Abe, who works in Hollywood as the "king of the extras." Their relationship has been strained for several years. Immediately upon arrival, Abbie accompanies him to a job where he is acting as a patient in a hospital.

Afterwards, they go to a bar where extras go, and Abe proves to be popular. He asks about Abbie's mom then asks why he's there. When told he had a heart attack, Abe disappears, calling Abbie with the bar's pay phone to avoid too intimate of an interaction.

Abe insists Abbie stay in his apartment, but he won't take time off from work while he's there. While he's shooting, Lisa comes for a surprise visit. She and Abe bond well, just as he gets along famously with everyone but his son. Abe begins having memory loss which Abbie and Lisa observe while he's shooting.

The couple plans to head back to NYC, but Abe reroutes them to Mexican LA. He continues to show signs of confusion, so Abbie takes him to a medical facility. After running some tests he eventually diagnoses him with an inoperable brain aneurysm.

Father and son grow closer in time, doing things together they hadn't before, like riding ponies, fishing... and, before it's too late, Abbie helps Abe get a speaking role in a film.

I would really appreciate any help with the python (spyder) code that will help to get the desired result.

A: You may want to use pandas, and then do something like that:
df["Date-of-Purchase"] = pd.to_datetime(df["Date-of-Purchase"], dayfirst=True)
df["Month"] = df["Date-of-Purchase"].dt.month
df["Year"] = df["Date-of-Purchase"].dt.year
res = df.groupby(["Year", "Month"])["Cust-ID"].nunique()

This would give you the number of unique customers per month. Assuming you have data for all the months, you can now use rolling to get a rolling sum for 12 months (I used 3 months in the code for easier debugging):
monthly_customers = df.groupby(["Year", "Month"])["Cust-ID"].apply(lambda x: frozenset(x.values))
monthly_customers = monthly_customers.reset_index()

monthly_customers = pd.concat([monthly_customers] + [monthly_customers["Cust-ID"].shift(i) for i in range(1, 3)], axis ="columns")
monthly_customers.columns = ["Year", "Month"] + [ f"shift_{i}" for i in range(3) ]

def count_unique(row):
    total_set = frozenset()
    columns = [ f"shift_{i}" for i in range(3) ]
    for col in columns:
        if row.get(col) and type(row.get(col)) == frozenset:
            total_set = total_set | row.get(col)
    return len(total_set)

monthly_customers["N_month_count"] = monthly_customers.apply(count_unique, axis=1)
monthly_customers

If you don't have data for all the months, you'll need to fill in missing months.

Almost four months ago, I created a react component called react-tooltip then shared it to the NPM. Besides importing js to start use, it also needs the users to import sass or css file into their project which I think is really inconvenient for those who build their project by using npm and browserify.
In that time, I checked other famous react component like react-select to see how they solve the problem, and I happened to see the author of react-select opens an issue to ask others how to contains his css into js, or you have to find the css file in node_modules/ folder then copy them to your project. Nobody gave a satisfied idea so I just let it go , then I wrote README to tell people where they can find css file of this component.
Inject your css into style tag in <head />: I know inline css is hot in these days, but it can't support pseudo class or pseudo element like :hover or :after.
Transform class name to avoid class name conflict: because component css usually have a leading class and other css just nested under it(if you are using sass) , so transforming the leading class name is enough.
after use node to execute this file, you will get a js file(style.js) that exports a string which then you can insert it to the style tag.
Actually I have tried a lot of methods to solve this problem, include RCSS, jsxstyle and css-modulesify. Unfortunately, they all can't help me.
My current method may looks a little bit hack but what makes me happy is that I can still use sass and browserify to build my component. Maybe you never need this to build your large project but you can try this way if you want to build a NPM component contains not only js but also css.
This is my project address https://github.com/wwayne/react-tooltip , and welcome comments and advices.

Teddy Westbrook Tate, 86, of Kountze, died Friday, February 1, 2019. He was born on June 13, 1932, in Colmesneil, to Jessie Elizabeth Westbrook and Dr. Robert Alexander Tate.
Tate's passion for sports led him to the opportunity of putting Kountze on the map.
One evening after several days of scouting, the fast throwing pitcher who was striking all the kids out, Tate felt ready on that third day. Stepping into the box, he took the first pitch. Knowing what was coming next, he was ready. A swing and over the fence the ball went. All the boys cheered, putting Tate on their shoulders, carrying him around the bases. The next day at school they asked Tate where he was from, he proudly went to the map on the board and pointed to Kountze, Texas.
Tate went on to excel in Baseball, playing catcher for the University of Texas form 1950-1952, and went on to a successful career in Pro Ball starring for the Beaumont Exporters in the 50's.
In 1962, the Kountze legend began. Coach Tate sported a career record 502-258-5.
In Varsity Athletics, to our knowledge, Coach Tate is the only coach to reach the State Semi Finals in three different sports as Head Coach: Football, Baseball, and Basketball securing his position of being Kountze's all-time winningest Coach and one of the best to coach the games!
Survivors include his wife, Billie Tate; children, Tatia Tate, of Lumberton; Tanda Tate-Pruitt and her husband, Geary, of Kirbyville; and Tray Tate, of Kountze; and grandchildren, Taryl Coco and her husband, Chad, of Sour Lake; Sydney Marceaux, of Houston; Cara LaForge and Tate LaForge, both of Beaumont; and Sterling Tate, of Kountze; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Tate is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Dr. John Tate; and sisters, Dr. Eugenia Gauntt and Aline Williford.
A gathering of Mr. Tate's family and friends will be from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m., Saturday, February 9, 2019, at Broussard's, 530 West Monroe, Kountze. A private family committal was held at Broussard's Crematorium, Beaumont.
The family would like to thank the team of nurses from Best Care Hospice for the excellent level of care shown to Coach Tate and a special thanks to Caroline Blending and Sarah.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Kountze Public Library, 800 South Redwood Avenue, Kountze 77625 and to the Kountze Booster Club, P.O. Box 460, Kountze, Texas 77625.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I will always remember my first years at Kountze high school. It was great to know Ted and Billie Jean. Take care and know Ted will be missed.
I have admired & loved this man my whole life. I grew up knowing him & the Tate family. We were neighbors on Williford Road in Kountze., 52 years ago. I have wonderful memories of Coach Tate. During my High School years,. Coach Tate ( knowing that I was a horrible player) put me on the girl's basketball team. i desperately wanted to be a good basketball player.. He worked my tail off during practice & was so patience with me. He would probably say I was the worst player he had ever had.. But he never gave up & to this day, I remember those practices. Latter, he was my driver's ed teacher.. I still remember specific driving skills he taught. Coach Tate gave all of his students 100 percent, we all respected & loved him. Praying for all of the family & friends. God Bless You.
Why I remember this, I do not know. Coach Tate entered the Jr. High basketball team in a tournament. I was on the team. We were not playing so well but I made a buzzer beating shot that won the game. Coach Tate was not pleased with our performance so he forfeited the rest of the games and we came home.. I think he had a golf game he didn't want to miss.
So many great memories. .He was my baseball coach from Jr High thru High School (1966). His love of the sport carried over to practice and games often ending in victories and as only he could do - controversy for opponents.. Many lessons carried over to "the Game of Life". Thank You and Well Done Coach Tate.
Coach Tate will always be in our KHS class of 1968 memories and so blessed that he could be with us at our reunion last May. And yes he taught me to drive also. Think of him so many times during the years. Thank you Coach Tate for all you did for us students.
He taught me to drive my Freshman year. His presence on and off the field as left a lasting legacy. Prayers for his friends, family and many students.
In May I had the opportunity to call him and invite him to our 50th class reunion. He was so excited and gladly accepted. Is was truly one of the highlights of our reunion. He had a terrific memory and could quote statistics from many years ago. Thanks Coach Tate. Ms Tate we love you and we are praying for you.
