Why BEA was like a live performance of "The Innovator's Dilemma"
Since the dawn of the printing press, authors have always carried a certain mystique within society. The advent of e-books and digital reading devices has only magnified this appeal. People tend to look at writers with fascination because of their ability to compose words that generate deep emotion or provide answers to frustrating problems. This mystique is similar to the interest that doctors garner when they walk into a room and everyone starts describing their aches and pains. People marvel at the talent and intellect in their midst. Fair or not, this fascination creates a unique credibility factor that authors experience just from the accomplishment of writing a book.
When people find out that you're an author, their interest usually leads to a common question, "So, what's your book about?" This inquiry may sound simple. However, I've found it to be one of the most difficult questions for authors to answer, which in turn, creates a fundamental book marketing problem. The difficulty arises because authors tend to misunderstand the actual question that the other person is asking. This misinterpretation leads to a generic response that generates a disinterested look on the other person's face or a quick change of subject. And, once you miss an opportunity to capture someone's interest in your book, it's tough to get them back.
Even though our culture is fascinated with authors, you don't get carte blanche to babble about what you've written. There's a deeper principle at work that trumps people's curiosity about a book. It's the principle of self-interest. Every human being lives from a mindset of protecting his or her own interests and making decisions for personal benefit.
Thus, even though people might think it's cool that you're an author, they will not buy your book unless there's a reason that appeals to their self-interest. If you miss this vital principle, then you will fail to create the sparks needed to sell books like wildfire.
Since most people purchase books based on the principle of self-interest, the key to powerful marketing is to show how you meet other people's needs. If you write fiction, you can meet a person's need for entertainment, escape, or learning the power of story. If you write non-fiction, you can meet a person's need for information, inspiration, or answers to a problem.
Utilize a promotional strategy that is audience-focused, rather than self-focused. All of your book marketing materials, such as your website, back cover copy, personal bio, newsletters, and even social media posts, should explain how you attempt to improve a reader's life.
More importantly, if you want people to pay money for your book, then you owe readers a return on their investment. A financial transaction is literally taking place. However, authors have the advantage that consumers have to pay for the book first. Imagine if the public got to read books first and then decide if they wanted to pay. Some books might never earn a penny!
How do I specifically improve the life of my readers?
What tangible results do I create for my readers?
How do I help leaders meet the needs of their organization?
Never answer the question, "What's your book about?" Instead, tell people what they really want to know, which is "What's in it for me?" If you want to sell books like wildfire, redefine yourself from a person who writes books to an author who enjoys helping, entertaining, and inspiring readers.

A husband and wife pose together to display their tattoos for The Wearers, Tasmania project.
A Tasmanian photographer is examining the way local individuals and communities across the state are morphing their bodies to become living pieces of art.
Launceston-based photographer Alia Coates travels around Tasmania documenting body art and modification and her photos show the way subcultures in regional and metropolitan communities in the state differ from one another.
People are using body art as identity.
"What I'm interested in is how the individual chooses to adorn their body," Ms Coates said of her project The Wearers.
Photo Individuals with body art and modifications are the subjects of striking portraits for the community project.
"That becomes art in itself — representational art of the individual."
Individuals from across the state have come to Ms Coates to bare their skin and have their photo taken.
Ms Coates said she has been surprised that many people have been willing to express themselves in such a positive way.
"What I have noticed when people come is there seems to be this real sense of pride and ownership for people's bodies when they come and experience this — particularly women," Ms Coates said.
"They get out there and they rip their tops off and it's a really positive experience."
Ms Coates has found the perceptions of tattoos may have culturally changed from negative symbols associated with gangs to self expression and identity of someone owning their body.
"Now what it appears to me is that people are using body art as identity, so there's no group per se but you've got this huge group of mini groups [of tattoo subcultures]," she said.
Ms Coates explained that the triangles added in post-production to each portrait are representative of two things — the person and their art coming together.
Ms Coates grew up in Tasmania, moved to Melbourne as an adult to study photo imaging, but returned to the apple isle to continue her profession.
She said there were differences between Tasmanian communities of tattoo wearers and their mainland counterparts.
"As far as Australia's concerned, it [Melbourne] seems to be tattoo central. There seems to be a lot of people sporting a lot of ink over there. In comparison, Tassie is still pretty small," she said.
Ms Coates has travelled from Launceston to Hobart so far documenting tattoos along the way, but is planning to take the project around each geographical area of the state in time.
"People tend to come to me...but I do plan to go all around Tasmania through regional areas such as Devonport and Queenstown," she said.
Photo Alia Coates is the creator of The Wearers, Tasmania and is looking at the body art/modification subculture in regional and metropolitan communities across Tasmania.
The production phase of the project continues until the end of the year and Ms Coates then intends to turn the photo series into a book and exhibition in 2016.
People have been amazing...it's been a really humbling experience.
"This project has been really essential in my own development as an artist because it keeps my practice contemporary," Ms Coates said.
"It also keeps my knowledge up-to-date and it gives me the opportunity to experience capturing people's images when I don't know them, which I think is really exciting.
"It can be very confronting coming in to a photography studio when it's all lit and there's a big camera.
"People have been amazing. It's been a really humbling experience...how open and willing people are to display themselves."

The organisers of the Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) have announced the postponement of PRSE 2020, which had been scheduled to take place on 27 and 28 October 2020 at the RAI Amsterdam, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Thus, our presentation of LIFE RECYPACK project in the fair can't be held. We will inform you about forthcoming presentations.
COMELSA awarded for LIFE RECYPACK
The FEMEVAL Awards (Valencian Metallurgical Business Federation) have recognized in their eighteenth edition the good practices in corporate social responsibility of our partner COMELSA for the LIFE RECYPACK project.
The project collection system is being studied by entities in Belgium, Croatia or Poland, which could replicate the model launched by COMELSA in the framework of the project.
LIFE RECYPACK PROJECT
12 MONTH MEETING
On Tuesday 25th October 2018, LIFE RECYPACK consortium held the 12MM meeting at ReMat facilities in Tiszaújváros (Hungary). The different partners explained the project evolution until the date and started planning the upcoming steps including Replicability and Transferability actions.

Circular economy of commercial plastic packaging in urban environments - LIFE RECYPACK
LIFE-RECYPACK is a demonstration project to foster green public procurement (GPP) of CPPW in urban areas. The project will demonstrate that this waste stream is a valuable resource from which new recycled added-value materials and products can be obtained. The project will implement an innovative management model to assist local authorities in decision making, and to provide companies with incentives to participate.
The project will evaluate the generation of CPPW by business/shopping centres, urban commercial centres, distribution companies and professional small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The project will focus on polyethylene, which is the most common type of plastic, and expanded polystyrene, which is a concern because of its low density. The project will operate two recycling facilities, in Hungary and Spain, which will produce recycled polyethylene and recycled polystyrene from CPPW. The recycled material will be used to manufacture new plastic products, thereby closing the loop. The project will also evaluate the potential for replication of its recycling systems in Belgium, Croatia, Poland, Romania and Turkey.
LIFE-RECYPACK will be an example of a circular economy business model and will contribute to the recycling of plastic waste, which is one of the priority sectors in the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. The project will also help the implementation of the Waste Framework Directive, the Landfill Directive and the Packaging Waste Directive.

Cnaiur appears to be the most overlooked character on these forums. It's surprising to me to see that there is speculation that TTT was his "swazond-song"(hehe).
In my estimationhe gets almost as much narrative devoted to him as Akka, which in itself should tell you something. His character is one to which Scott has devoted a lot of thought to creating, because his actions require a convoluted and deep study to understand. Although he is responsible for many horrid acts, these are largely premeditated by his "darkness that comes before" and his attempts to reconcile his personality to it, giving rise to his insanity. However, of all the characters in the entire series, he is also one of the few who performs/attempts selfless acts to aid others, although he refuses to aknowledge them. Furthermore his role saving Kellhus in the circumfixion underpins his role as a key device in the series.
His relationship to both the consult and Kellhus is doubly interesting as he is "outside" their control, yet used/using both.


It's always nice to sign players from your own doorstep but when you have the ability to cast your net far and wide scouts don't need SatNav's so much as plane tickets.
Such are the resources being ploughed into youth development at Molineux that Europe is now a backyard.
Romanian Under-20 international attacking midfielder Carlo Erdie, Portuguese winger Eusebio and Spanish central midfielder Albert Torras joined the club this week.
"It's quite extensive as to where we look for players," said Head Coach Kenny Jackett. "There's a number of local lads here as well – some in the first team group: Danny Batth and David Davis have come through whilst the likes of Jake Cassidy was picked up from local football in North Wales.
"We'd like to think it is quite wide-ranging. We are looking for a standard of a player rather than someone from a particular area.
"You can see the advancement in facilities here. And it won't be long before the youth side have a new indoor area to train in as well.
Erdie has joined from Olimpia Satu Mare, Eusebio from Benfica and Torras from Barcelona.
"We have wanted to strengthen both the Under-18 and Under-21 groups and are delighted to have added these three young players to the ranks," said Head of Football Development and Recruitment Kevin Thelwell.
"Everyone else in the Under-21 league has been adding players and it is going to be as strong as ever so Stuart Webber (Head of Recruitment) and Chris Badlan (Technical Recruitment Officer) have been working hard to identify players of good quality.
"All three operate in different positions and have got real potential to develop further.
Webber said: "We've seen a lot of the Under-21 players move up to the first team set-up. That is fantastic but those players need to be replaced as we are operating in the Premier League at Under-21 level which is a big challenge.
"I think we have added real quality to the group with different types of players and I think it outlines how we as a department are trying to work. Whilst retaining as strong a local and national recruitment network as before, myself and Chris are spending a lot of time abroad and are utilising all the contacts we have to bring everything together as part of a strategy that embraces both the first team and more junior recruitment.
Weaver is excited about the new additions: "Carlo and Albert still qualify at Under-18 level but all three will join the Development group," he said.
"This is the start of rebuilding for my group with so many having now moved up to senior level.

The Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University (LKSOM), located on the Health Science Campus of Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, is one of 7 schools of medicine in Pennsylvania conferring the M.D. (Doctor of Medicine) degree. It also confers the Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) and M.S. (Master of Science) degrees in biomedical sciences. In addition, LKSOM offers a Narrative Medicine Program.
The 2019 U.S. News & World Report report of best medical schools lists the school as tied for 57th best in the U.S. for research and tied for 69th for primary care. TUSM had the second-highest ranking of all medical schools in Philadelphia and the third-highest in the state. TUSM is reported to be one of the top 10 most applied to medical schools in the United States. In July 2014, Temple University School of Medicine's scientists became the first to remove HIV from human cells. Temple University's Fox Chase Cancer Center is ranked 19th best Hospital for Adult Cancer by U.S. News & World Report. TUSM reported 9,624 applications in 2010 (class of 2014) for a class size of 210 students; 540 of the total 9,624 applications received acceptance, translating to a 5.61% acceptance rate.
Founded in 1901 as Pennsylvania's first co-educational medical school, the institution has attained a national reputation for training humanistic and dedicated clinicians. The school was founded with the central principle that quality education should be afforded to everyone regardless of their ability to pay. In addition, the school has emphasized the development of humanitarianism; a value highlighted by Sir William Osler's quote, "The good physician treats the disease; the great physician treats the patient who has the disease." This quote is inscribed on one of the walls in the Medical Education and Research Building.
Under the leadership of Dean John Daly, M.D., alumnus of the class of 1973, TUSM underwent revitalization. The institution hired 262 new professors in 4 years; added clinical and basic science departments; and completely revamped the medical curriculum to meet changing educational paradigms.
Additionally, on November 1, 2007, TUSM broke ground on a new home. At a projected cost of $160 million, the project is the largest capital improvement project in the history of Temple University. The new building, an 11-story, glass and brick structure designed by Philadelphia-based architecture and engineering firm Ballinger, opened in May 2009. Notable features include: a modern anatomy laboratory with computers and high definition LCD screens on articulating arms; a fully interactive patient simulation center with simulated doctor offices, emergency medicine department, and surgical apparatuses as well as a staff of simulated patient actors, simulated patient mannequins, and full-time instructing physicians; and a 24-hour, 50,000 sq. foot library with individualized study rooms containing high definition televisions with multimedia and wireless accessibility.
The new medical education building also features a wide array of attributes designed to lower stress of its faculty, staff, and students. Examples include: a classical grand piano on the third floor; a medical student lounge with cable, high definition television; and a three story atrium/commons area containing armchairs and medical art.
The education of medical students at Temple University School of Medicine includes a foundation in the fundamentals of basic and clinical science. The first two years are taught in an integrated approach, closely tying basic science concepts to clinical medicine, professionalism and medical ethics. The clinical years are marked by hands-on experience in caring for patients. The William Maul Measey Institute for Clinical Simulation and Patient Safety allows students to learn basic clinical skills and teamwork in a safe learning environment throughout the curriculum.
A doctoring course running throughout the curriculum enables students to learn the basics of history-taking, physical exam skills and professionalism. The course uses clinical cases to integrate the teaching and evaluation of clinical skills with the basic science concepts in each of the blocks, and utilizes the William Maul Measey Institute for Clinical Simulation and Patient Safety to aid learning through interactive clinical scenarios. Faculty preceptors provide individualized mentoring and career advising.
The Doctoring 2 course enables students to practice and improve their clinical skills and professionalism through closely supervised rotations in both ambulatory and hospital settings.
The third year Doctoring course emphasizes career advising, evidence-based medicine, professionalism and clinical decision-making.
In Year 4, beginning in May of the third year, students focus on areas of interest through a large variety of electives. They are required to do a sub-internship in either pediatrics, surgery, or medicine, as well as rotations in an intensive-care unit, the emergency department, and radiology. The balance of the fourth year is given over to electives, research, and residency interviews. Available electives include multiple medical and surgical sub-specialties.

Q: How does current actually flow in a wire? When I was in my school I was taught that the electric field due to the battery is along the wire  (from $A \rightarrow B \rightarrow C \rightarrow D $) and these are responsible for electrons at each location to move which constitutes the current.

And we also learned that the potential at A and B is the same and that at C and D are same too (ideal circuits) while solving circuit problems.
But when I tried to merge the above two ideas , I got a contradiction.
From electrostats we know that there is a potential drop along the direction of electric field. And if that's true then there can't be any component of electric field along the length of the wire as it would result in a potential drop without any resistor. So this indicates that the electric field must be perpendicular to the wire itself .
But if the above statement is  true how can there be current along the wire ?
This is  confusing me a lot. Please help me figure out what's happening in there .

A:
But when I tried to merge the above two ideas , I got a contradiction.

Yes, you are correct. There is a contradiction.

And we also learned that the potential at A and B is the same and that at C and D are same too (ideal circuits) while solving circuit problems.

This statement applies to ideal conductors. In an ideal conductor the potential is the same so there is no E field. Also, since it has no resistance, no potential difference is required for the current in an ideal wire.

the electric field due to the battery is along the wire (from →→→) and these are responsible for electrons at each location to move which constitutes the current

This statement applies to non-ideal conductors. In a non-ideal conductor there is an E field along the wire so there is a potential difference across the wire. Since a non-ideal wire has some small resistance this potential difference is required for the current.
If you want to be consistent you must decide if you want to model a given wire as an ideal conductor or as a non-ideal conductor. You cannot consistently have it both ways. Practically speaking, for ordinary circuits the differences between the two models is small, so the ideal model is used more often because it is simpler.

A:
there can't be any component of electric field along the length of the wire as it would result in a potential drop without any resistor. So this indicates that the electric field must be perpendicular to the wire itself .

This is incorrect. If there was no resistor, the battery would still cause potential drop along the wire. And if there is resistor, most of potential drop happens in the resistor.
There can and is electric field component along the wire. This field is due to the battery and other surface charges on the wires.
When you short the battery, the circuit is not ideal. The potential varies along the wire. Wire can be considered ideal when there are components in the circuit with much larger resistance than the wire. Then the potential changes mostly near those components.

A: Try not to think of the battery creating an electric field in the wires. So where is the field gradient created? In the resistor. We say that the voltage across a resistor (applied by the battery) creates an electric field gradient in the resistor.
Because the wires have such a low resistance it is challenging to set up the field. So pretend the resistance in the wires is zero (or insignificant).
So the electrons in the resistor move along the electric field gradient. The nuclei and bound electrons get in the way making the path difficult. It is a resistor after all.
Because the electrons are moving in one direction they leave some protons exposed at one end. These attract electrons from the wire connecting to the battery. And so on down the wire all the way to the battery.
At the other end of the resistor all the electrons are trying to get out. They create a small negative charge that will repel the electrons in the wire, again all the way back to the battery. This is how the very tiny electric field gradient is set up in the wires.
There is more to it but this is a good visualization.
The electrons don't actually move that far. Their drift velocity is small. The energy transfer is actually in the electric field and is is fast.
If the resistor is small enough then we must include the wire resistance in the calculation. The voltage drop along the wire will be in proportion to the total resistance as well as the wire resistance.

A: Solution:
The potential at A and B are not equal. When R=0, most people blindly say that the potential  across the wire is always zero, this is completely false. E=0 is an abstraction as the pd across the wire is small incomparison to the resistor, but definitely not zero
This question is more simply rephrased as:
"is E = 0 in a zero resistance wire?"
Let's imagine a scenario where there is a battery and a zero resistance wire.
From maxwells equations we have:
$$\oint \vec{E} \cdot \vec{dl} = 0$$
For this situation Starting at the positive plate, let's compute the closed line integral
$$\oint \vec{E} \cdot \vec{dl} = \epsilon_{batt} + \epsilon_{wire}$$
$$\epsilon_{batt} = V_{0}$$
$$\epsilon_{wire} = 0$$
Thus
$$\oint \vec{E} \cdot \vec{dl} = V_{0}$$
by assuming E=0 and subsequently the emf of the wire is zero,we have shown that this violates maxwells equations  and thus is obviously not true.
Edit:
in a zero resistance wire  zero potential difference is needed to maintain a constant current, yes an initial E field is needed to get that current going, but once it's there, zero energy is required to maintain it. This does still not mean current is constant here, its not.

Vasu, are you able to resolve this?
Were you able to integrate OTM with sharepoint 2010 successfully? We are also trying the same and running into null pointer errors. Oracle is taking long time to diagnose the issue.
If you have already made it work, would appreciate any inputs.
Can you please update if you were able to integrate OTM with Sharepoint 2010 or not?

Trubisky continued the momentum after halftime, leading the Bears on a 60-yard drive that led to a 33-yard Parkey field goal that made it 20-0.
"I prepared all offseason for the first game of the season", Mack said.
But as Packers fans feared the worst, Rodgers made a surprising return to the field in the second half.
Aaron Rodgers heard the applause after walking out of the stadium tunnel and back on to the field. On Sunday night, the Packers proved that point in painful fashion.
At Lambeau Field and playing before a national audience, Mack recorded a strip-sack of backup quarterback DeShone Kizer and recovered the ball himself to halt a promising Packers drive in the second quarter. Later in the quarter, he returned an interception 27 yards for a touchdown.
On Sunday night, it looked like the season was going to be over for Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers-and, by extension, the Packers-almost before it began.
Well the dream was just that for a few hours Sunday night, then it turned into a nightmare. It marks the fifth-straight time the Bears have lost to the Packers and the fifth-straight opening game loss for the team.
When Mitchell Trubisky and the offense didn't do anything with that turnover, Mack chose to just do things himself: Kizer was hit by Roy Robertson-Harris as he released the ball on third-and-long inside Packers' territory and Mack snagged the ball out of the air, running it in 27 yards for the touchdown and a 17-0 Chicago lead. But the offense was stalled again on fourth down as a sack-fumble put an end to a nightmare game that started like a dream.
There's little the three-time Pro-Bowl linebacker didn't do. So there's that. One of the most impressive things about this is that Pettine had the success that he did with just three safeties; both Josh Jones and Raven Greene were inactive.
After the game, Rodgers vowed to play next week against the Minnesota Vikings.
But the Packers did actually deal with the Bears' dominant pass rush in the second half. "Cool game, but you got to finish". He added 32 yards and a rushing touchdown on the ground. He had two opportunities to win the game in the final minutes after outside linebacker Clay Matthews' terrible roughing-the-passer penalty.
"You know we talked about finishing and we didn't do that", Nagy said. But, even being carted off the field wasn't enough to stop the greatest quarterback in the league, as Green Bay won 24-23.
Luck threw for 4,240 yards, 31 touchdowns and had a career-high completion percentage of 63.5 during that '16 campaign. Andrew Luck's first half was just about as good as it can get - after it started as poorly as possible.
There were also some players that struggled throughout Sunday's game, helping put the Browns in the 14-point hole they were in. Arguably the biggest reason the Steelers were in the game, however, was because of Bell's replacement at running back.
And individuals who suffered under Obamacare's high health insurance premiums now have several more affordable options. Of course, Woodward never spoke to Trump in advance about what is contained in the book.

Q: Will a pooled coefficient be bounded by the coefficients from the group regressions? Consider the linear regression model,
$y = \beta_0 + \beta_1x_1 + \beta_2x_2 + u, u \sim N(0, \sigma^2 )$
If we estimate the model twice using OLS on two mutually exclusive groups (say, group 1 and group 2) and then estimate the same model using the pooled sample of group 1 and group 2, should the $\hat{\beta_1}$ from the pooled regression be bounded by the $\hat{\beta_1}$'s we obtain by estimating the model on each group separately?
My intuition tells me no, but any form of proof/evidence is eluding me.
Thanks in advance for any help.

NHL players confirmed to participate in 2022 Olympic Winter Games
By Paula Nichols
It's official!
NHL players will get the chance to represent their countries in the men's Olympic hockey tournament at Beijing 2022 after the NHL, NHLPA, and IIHF announced they have finalized an agreement.
NHL and NHLPA announce agreement with IIHF.
DETAILS: https://t.co/pxewlDSHbV pic.twitter.com/dpppu8eCh5
— NHL (@NHL) September 3, 2021
It has taken a few steps to get to this point, which started with the NHL and NHLPA ratifying an extension to their Collective Bargaining Agreement in July 2020. That included an amendment which stated that the two sides "commit to participate in the 2022 and 2026 Winter Olympics, subject to negotiation of terms acceptable to each of the NHL, NHLPA, and IIHF (and/or IOC).
"Everybody wants to represent their country, everybody wants to play in the Olympics," Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat, who played for Canada at the 2018 IIHF World Championship, told NHL.com when the CBA was ratified last summer. "I think that's a big thing we wanted, not only for ourselves to represent our country, but to grow the game. I think this is great to negotiate that and be able to play in the Olympics coming up. It's great for hockey, it's great for the fans, and it's great for us as players to represent our countries, so we're excited about it."
In July 2021, the NHL released its schedule for the 2021-22 season, which included a pause from February 7 to 22 to accommodate NHL player participation in the Olympic tournament. The first men's hockey games in Beijing will be on February 9 with the gold medal game on February 20.
It should be noted that even with this agreement in place, the NHL and NHLPA still retain full authority to decide not to participate should COVID-19 conditions worsen or pose a threat to the health and safety of players, or for any other reason that may warrant not participating.
READ: Team Canada confirmed as a top qualifier for hockey at Beijing 2022
Here are some fun facts about the history of NHL players competing at the Olympic Games.
When did NHL players first participate in the Olympic Games?
The IOC approved the participation of professional athletes in Olympic competition as of 1988, but it wasn't until Nagano 1998 that the NHL agreed to allow its players to go to the Winter Games. Since then, more than 700 NHL players have suited up for their countries.
How many Olympic Winter Games have included NHL players?
Starting with Nagano 1998, there were five straight Olympic Winter Games that included NHL player participation. Those first Games were followed by Salt Lake City 2002, Turin 2006, Vancouver 2010, and Sochi 2014.
Why didn't NHL players participate at PyeongChang 2018?
In 2017, factors such as travel costs, insurance for the players, and marketing rights led to the decision that NHL players would not participate at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games as the NHL, NHLPA, IIHF and IOC could not agree to terms. This meant that Team Canada was represented mainly by players from European professional leagues, some of whom did have NHL experience. Those players won the bronze medal, ensuring Canada would be on the men's hockey podium for the third straight Games.
READ: Olympic hockey bronze a career highlight for many on Team Canada
What has been Team Canada's success with NHL players?
After finishing fourth at Nagano 1998, Canada won gold at Salt Lake City 2002 for the country's first Olympic gold medal in men's hockey in 50 years. Canada missed the podium at Turin 2006, finishing seventh, but bounced back in a big way at home at Vancouver 2010 where Sidney Crosby scored the Golden Goal. A second straight gold medal followed at Sochi 2014.
Who have been the most successful NHL players for Team Canada?
The NHL player with the most Olympic appearances for Canada is Chris Pronger, who played in the first four tournaments from 1998 to 2010, winning two gold medals. He is one of 15 NHL players to win two Olympic gold medals for Canada.
How many Olympic medals does Team Canada have in men's hockey?
Canada leads the all-time Olympic medal standings in men's hockey with 16 medals, which includes nine gold, four silver, and three bronze since the sport debuted at the Antwerp 1920 Olympic Games.
Which countries are playing in the Beijing 2022 men's hockey tournament?
Canada will be the top seed at Beijing 2022 after being number one in the 2020 IIHF World Rankings. Canada was drawn into Group A with the United States (#6), Germany (#7) and host China (#12).
Group B will include ROC (#2), Czech Republic (#5), Switzerland (#8) and Denmark (#11).
Group C will include Finland (#3), Sweden (#4), Slovakia (#9) and Latvia (#10).
After a preliminary round robin within the groups, the three group winners and the number two team with the best record will advance to the quarterfinals while the other teams will play a qualification playoff game to get into those quarterfinals.

3 Ways to Avoid Pedestrian Accidents in San Antonio. Watch Out!
Hard statistics pertaining to pedestrian accidents in San Antonio can be hard to pin down, mainly because so many of them go unreported. We do know for sure that according to the Governors Highway Safety Association, the number of pedestrian/traffic fatalities leaped over 11 percent in 2016.
With pedestrian accidents in San Antonio also on the rise, let's look at what we can do — behind the wheel and on foot — to avoid serious injury and death.
Both drivers and walkers can decrease the chances of an accident by putting their phones away and keeping their eyes on their surroundings. Studies have shown drivers can cover the length of a football field or more when they think they're glancing at their phones "for just a second." In addition, pedestrians have been known to walk right into traffic, walls, or construction hazards on the sidewalk without looking.
Drivers can increase their chances of being seen by keeping their headlights on both day and night. Likewise, pedestrians need to be aware that as a smaller, slower-moving target, they aren't as likely to be noticed at a distance as a larger object. Wearing brightly colored, reflective clothing at night helps, but in addition, consider wearing reflective trim that accentuates the body's movement, which is more likely to catch the eye.
Again, both drivers and walkers bear some responsibility for preventing pedestrian accidents in San Antonio. Drivers should not block crosswalks when waiting to make a turn, or step on the gas to avoid having to wait for a pedestrian to clear the crosswalk. Walkers should cross streets only at designated, clearly marked points and should do so only after having checked for approaching traffic, even when they have the right of way.
When pedestrian accidents in San Antonio occur, who's at fault is too often a moot point. In the collision between a ton or two of steel and a human body, the human body is going to come out the loser. The attorneys at Pat Maloney understand this, so call us today.
https://patmaloney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/pat-maloney.png 0 0 Pat Maloney https://patmaloney.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/pat-maloney.png Pat Maloney2017-10-18 14:40:142017-10-18 14:40:143 Ways to Avoid Pedestrian Accidents in San Antonio. Watch Out!
By the time you're waiting fruitlessly for your fifth returned call and you figure out you're little more than a number, it could be too late to switch to a more amenable attorney.
What did you major in for your undergraduate degree?
Contrary to what you might assume, not all lawyers spring from the political science bachelor's degree pipeline. The best San Antonio work injury lawyer may have received a bachelor's degree in almost anything: English, pre-med, the sciences, the arts, or wherever their interest lies.
How many work injury cases have you handled?
Say you need a knee replacement. Do you want a surgeon who's only picked up a scalpel once before? Or one who has hundreds of procedures under their belt and before that, learned at the elbow of an experienced mentor?
This isn't a dumb question. You know the saying "all work and no play"? A burned-out lawyer is an ineffective lawyer. One who takes time to "refill the well" and return to work refreshed is the one you want on your team.
How serious your injuries are and how severely you're physically limited.
Your work and salary history.
The costs of your past, current, and probable future medical treatment.

How Does a Medical Claim Settlement Work?
When you file a medical claim settlement, knowledge is power. If you familiarize yourself with the basic steps of this type of negotiation, you'll be more likely to get what you deserve, and avoid having to resort to litigation.
You will start the medical claim settlement process by sending a letter to the at-fault party's insurance company, detailing how their actions (or inactions) caused and contributed to the severity of your injury and that you will be seeking compensation.
In response to your notification letter, you'll get a letter in response from the insurance company. They will agree to review your claim and state their intent to meet with you to discuss it, but it will not contain any admission of guilt on their client's part.
After your treatment and therapy is complete, you will send a letter to the insurance adjuster, listing the details of your claim, the damages, your medical bills and related expenses, and lost work pay. You will also ask for an additional amount for pain and suffering.
The insurance adjuster will respond to your demand with a counteroffer that is basically testing you to see how well you understand the medical claim settlement process. In short, they hope that you don't, so they can get away with paying out far less than you deserve.
In your response to the counteroffer, you'll make it clear that you won't be intimidated out of taking the case to litigation if necessary. You will politely restate your claim and that you might be willing to reduce the amount demanded — a little.
Now, the key is to be patient. Never call an adjuster to see what is taking so long. They want you to make that mistake.
Know the rock-bottom figure you're willing to accept, and stick to it, knowing you may have to resort to litigation to get it.
If you wind up taking the medical claim settlement to court, make sure you are properly represented by legal counsel. Contact the Law Offices of Pat Maloney: we are ready to help you complete your recovery.

It's safe to say that the vast majority of drivers would never attempt to operate a vehicle after drinking alcohol or taking certain kinds of medication. These same drivers, however, think nothing of fatigued driving—getting behind the wheel (or hopping on their motorcycle) when they're tired. In their minds, a yawn is not the same as a shot or a pint.
In reality, more than one-third of drivers have engaged in fatigued driving and fallen asleep at the wheel. Some of them are lucky enough to snap back awake in time to avoid a wreck. Some keep driving, seemingly functional while their conscious minds have checked out, only to blink and wonder how they missed their turn 20 miles ago. Too many cause an accident, hurting themselves and, often, someone else.
Don't be a tragic statistic. The signs you shouldn't be driving are often subtle.
1. You didn't get enough sleep the night before. Combine a restless night with a long day at work, and it's safe to say you shouldn't embark on a long, monotonous trip, even if you think you're stoked on caffeine.
2. You're using the headrest. If you're too weary to hold up your head, you're not alert enough to drive any distance—short or long.
3. You can't remember driving the past few miles. Muscle memory will only get you so far. If you're well into your journey and it seems you just left, you've been snoozing, possibly even with your eyes open.
4. Your eyes are scratchy. Constantly needing to rub your eyes is a sign you're too tired to keep going. Pull over at a rest stop and take a nap.
5. You keep hitting the rumble strips. This means you're driving out of your lane, and you are fatigued driving. Get out from behind the wheel as soon as possible.
6. Your muscles feel twitchy. Lack of sleep can cause the release of stress hormones, which can make you achy, restless, and irritable. If you find you can't keep from shifting in your seat, or you feel an uncontrollable need to shake out your arms and legs, you're fatigued driving.
If you've been hurt in an accident and you suspect the other driver was fatigued driving, we can help. Call us today!
Accidents happen, even if you think you've taken every precaution. Avoiding construction accidents should be everyone's top priority, from the boss right on down to the newest member of the crew. This should also be a goal for people who don't work the concrete ribbons or the big steel, but encounter a construction site while going about their everyday business.
Provide adequate safety equipment and establish a no-exceptions rule to using it.
Perform regular inspections/reviews of the site, equipment, maintenance records, and employee procedures.
Equip all hazardous tools with appropriate safety guards.
Provide safe, dry, and secure areas for equipment storage and maintenance.
Adhere to local, state, and national safety regulations.
When pulled off a job to participate in a training exercise, don't complain—give the new procedure or refresher your full attention.
Avoiding construction accidents means not using a piece of equipment on which you haven't received training.
Crew members who are sick should stay home or perform only low-risk tasks if taking any medications that make them sleepy or dizzy.
If a work area needs guardrails, hand holds, non-slip surfaces to walk on, or barriers to reroute traffic, workers should inform supervisors of the situation.
Be aware of the hazards of working on or around dangerous areas such as raised scaffolding, open trenches, and machinery with exposed moving parts.
Watch not only your own back, but keep an eye out for your coworkers as well.
Speed limits are often lowered in road construction zones. Avoiding construction accidents means staying within the posted speed limit and keeping an eye out for workers who often must do their jobs a few feet or less from lanes of moving traffic.
Whether driving or walking, respect temporary barriers that have been set up to protect not only the construction workers, but you as well. Don't be "that guy" who was too impatient to take an alternate route to your destination.
Avoiding construction accidents takes a combined effort. Call us if someone dropped the ball and you wound up hurt.
Question: Do you need to hire a work-related injury attorney as soon as you've had a mishap on the job? Answer: It depends.
It's indisputable that the mishap occurred on company property (or on a job site) while you were performing work-related tasks.
The injury was minor—a bruise, sprain, or cut that needed a couple of stitches.
You didn't need to take time off to recover.
No pre-existing illness contributed to the accident.
Even if you don't wind up needing a work-related injury attorney, it won't hurt to schedule a quick, often free consultation to ensure you're not overlooking anything. Then, if you decide later you need representation, you already have a relationship established.
You've done everything you're supposed to do (and hit all the deadlines), yet your claim is denied. Or your settlement is so slow to arrive, you wind up in collections due to unpaid medical bills.
Your claim successfully worked its way through the system, but the compensation doesn't cover your bills or lost income.
You're doing so poorly you can't return to your previous work, and you're also unable to work at any other job due to your injury.
You were fired because you got injured and filed a legitimate claim.
A third party contributed to the occurrence and/or severity of your injuries, such as faulty equipment or a worker from another company.
The government (through Social Security) grabs a big chunk of your settlement because it wasn't worded properly.
When you're hurt on the job, there's no time to waste—call for a free consultation with a work-related injury attorney!
When you hire a San Antonio personal injury attorney, you have high hopes for a legal decision in your favor. Too often, though, you wind up on the losing end—a result that could have been avoided if you'd asked a few more questions before settling for less than the best.
A good San Antonio personal injury attorney needs more than a wall of framed, official-looking certificates. This person should possess qualities that sometimes aren't easily discerned.
When you arrive for what is often your free, initial consultation, a good attorney will look over your case with a critical eye and tell you upfront whether you've got a solid chance at winning or if it will be a hard row to hoe.
A good San Antonio personal injury attorney will also be honest about the fee structure so there aren't any surprises when the bill comes due.
Whether they will be working your case solo or using assistants.
Whether their firm is insured.
If they specialize in your type of personal injury case and their record of winning such cases.
How long they expect the process to take before the case is resolved.
If they have a list of referrals.
Show that you've done some research into this attorney's and the firm's background.
Have all your relevant paperwork in order—police reports, doctor's notes, medical records and receipts, photographs of the scene and your injuries, etc.
You want only the best San Antonio personal injury attorney. We want the best outcome for you! Give us a call today.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, an in-person meeting with the best San Antonio personal injury lawyer can tell you all you need to know before one word is spoken.
You'd never walk into a job interview unprepared, so it's important to do a bit of homework before you arrive for your initial consultation. Not because he or she is the boss—you are.
Word-of-mouth is one way to find a trusted San Antonio personal injury lawyer, but before you take your uncle's or best friend's advice—and potentially waste everyone's time—make sure you aren't calling up an estate attorney to handle your injury case.
Even within the personal injury specialty, you may find lawyers who tend to handle a majority of a certain kind of case like car accidents, bites from uncontrolled pets, medical malpractice, and workplace injuries.
If friends, family, and associates don't have ideas for you, and the sheer number of listings in the phone book is overwhelming, pick up the phone and call the local bar association for recommendations.
Look at online reviews from a number of different sources. Don't rely on just one review on one website; cross-reference to weed out biased feedback.
Once you have a few candidates narrowed down, go to each lawyer's website to check out their educational background and experience, how active they are in professional organizations, and what they're doing to maintain their credentials.
Do you work hourly or for a flat rate? What costs are involved?
How easily can I reach you, and during what hours?
Bring any relevant documents with you to your first meeting.
Remember, you're the potential boss. If for any reason you don't feel comfortable—the lawyer doesn't talk to you on your level, seems rushed, or doesn't ask you any questions—look for a different lawyer.
We get it. Looking for a good San Antonio personal injury lawyer can seem as daunting as finding a needle in the proverbial haystack. Call us today to learn why we're the best at what we do.


A co-worker just talked about a "Darwinian Fate Accelerator." That's a new one to me, but I think I'll have to use that.
Some sites I read for amusement or information. I read Althouse, because I often feel smarter after reading a post. Do I agree all the time? No, but my beliefs are challenged or reinforced and I am better for it.
Here is a good example of why it is one of my favorite sites centering around a word - "the".
"Americans have historically modeled their choices of home protection and personal defense handguns on what the cops carried. When the police carried .38 revolvers as a rule, the .38 caliber revolver was the single most popular choice among armed citizens. In the 1980s and into the 1990s, cops switched en masse to semiautomatic pistols. So did the gun-buying public. Today, the most popular handgun among police seems to be the 16-shot, .40 caliber Glock semiautomatic. Not surprisingly, the general public has gone to pistols bracketing that caliber in power (9mm, .40, .45) with similar enthusiasm. The American police establishment has also largely switched from the 12 gauge shotgun which was also the traditional American home defense weapon, to the AR15 patrol rifle with 30-round magazine…and, not surprisingly, the law-abiding citizenry has followed suit there, too."
Do People Know What They Say?
I know I make mistakes. Plenty of them. But, I wonder if people have any idea what they are saying. I also know there are conservative/tea party/libertarian/right-wing/etc. folks who say crazy things, so I don't mean to let them off the hook, but some of these quotes are unbelievable.
"Think about it: In 2005, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 445, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 605. In 2006, the number of murders committed with a rifle was 438, while the number of murders committed with hammers and clubs was 618.
For example, in 2011, there was 323 murders committed with a rifle but 496 murders committed with hammers and clubs."
Hammers and clubs don't really kill people - people kill people. A rifle is a tool no different from a hammer. A rifle is used for sport no different than a bat.
Twitter has been hot with a) people tweeting about getting new AR-15 rifles for Christmas and b) those who are less than pleased with the gift of a gun.
In those posts, someone points out how horrible it is that more people got an AR than got Legos. But then again, more people got weed than rifles.
I have never felt the desire to become a hipster. And, almost by definition, would a true hipster allow the hipster label to be applied?
We've had samurai sword umbrellas and ENDO worries that it won't be long until a swat team is called because someone sends their kid to school with the neato backpack for the Ruger 10/22 Takedown rifle.

Q: How to use Zend Log as a separated component? I want to use Zend Framwork's Log mechanism as a separated component,that means all I want from ZF is just the Log, How can I do this?

A: According to these two pages

*

*http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.5/en/requirements.zendcomponents.html

*http://files.zend.com/help/Zend-Framework/requirements.dependencies.html
Zend_Log requires Zend_Exception and the following

*

*DOM

*libxml

*Reflection

What this means is that you really only need the following from the framework itself
library/Zend/Exception.php
library/Zend/Log.php
library/Zend/Log <- the directory

You should then be able to use the logger as a stand-alone component. Just add the library folder in the list above to your include path (Zend Framework components rely on this)
set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array(
    '/path/to/library',
    get_include_path()
)));

require_once 'Zend/Log/Writer/Stream.php';
require_once 'Zend/Log.php';

$writer = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream('/path/to/logfile');
$log = new Zend_Log($writer);
$log->log('Some message', 1);

A: Whenever I want to use individual components from Zend Framework I simply include a small file called zend_setup.php that contains the following three lines of code:
set_include_path( '/Users/me/workspace/proj_name/library' . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());
require_once( '/Users/me/workspace/proj_name/library/Zend/Loader/Autoloader.php' );
Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();

This is probably not as efficient as issuing explicit require_once() statements, but I like the convenience it offers. For example, you may very quickly decide you also want to utilize Zend_Log_Writer_Firebug() and Zend_Log_Writer_Mail(). Using the autoloader avoids having to write all those additional require_once() statements.

Hall of Fame Inductees, Alphabetically by Last Name Conde Sargent – Lincoln
Hall of Fame Inductees, by Name: Search by Year
Contributor. A faithful keeper of the lighthouse of Nebraska high school sports, this sports writer and association executive spent the better part of a lifetime supporting the pursuit of excellence in both academics and athletics. As a long-time sports writer for the Omaha World-Herald and Lincoln Journal & Star newspapers, his expertise was put to good use when he became a member of the executive staff of the Nebraska School Activities Association. Through his careful keeping of high school athletic records and tournament lore, the history of secondary education is enhanced by an accurate account of its athletic activities–developed/maintained records and state meet championship history in all high school sports and made information available to press and public via news releases, state tournament programs and through the NSAA internet website, which he developed. On the founding Board of Directors of the high school hall of fame.
Chapter out of a book aboout high school sports by Tad Styker.
If you like high school athletics, take a moment to cheer for Conde Sargent, because few have done as much for Nebraska prep sports. Sargent, who graduated from high school in Indiana, will be forever linked to the Cornhusker State as a journalist, then as an assistant director of the Nebraska School Activities Association. He has written about, campaigned for, eaten, slept and dreamt prep sports.
He took the lead in promoting high school activities during the last three decades, and is one of the leaders responsible for Nebraska's system of well-organized and well-run state tournaments.
Sargent was a prep sports beat writer with the Lincoln Journal-Star and the Omaha World-Herald. That included a stint as the World-Herald's famous (or infamous) prep rater, a rather high-profile job in this state. Being the prep rater is somewhat like coaching–everyone is interested in your opinion, but they reserve the right to criticize it to the ends of the earth. It's also like beekeeping–you're likely to get stung every couple of weeks.
After leaving daily journalism, Sargent joined the executive staff of the NSAA, where he worked for 22 years. His efforts at getting information to the media in a timely manner have been remarkable. Time after time, he has gone out of his way to help players, coaches, administrators and members of the media, even when they were less than appreciative. Even heart surgery has not diminished his hospitable spirit.
"His dedication to the job stands out," said Jim Riley, executive director of the NSAA. "The main thing he brought us is that he understands the necessity to publicize activities, and he brought the expertise to do it. The time of the day or the day of the week doesn't matter to him. He just gets the job done."
The game has not passed him by. Sargent stayed current. He was responsible for developing the NSAA's efficient, informative website (http:www.nsaahome.org).
One of his favorite causes has been the Nebraska High School Hall of Fame. Sargent has championed that fledging organization, and now, fittingly, he has been enshrined it it. Even more fittingly, he was honored as a "contributor." Few have given more to the cause.
He retired in 1998, and the world of Nebraska prep sports will miss him.
Like many leaders, Sargent has had to weather some criticism with grace, but hopefully, he's enjoyed a lot of sunny skies along the way. He left us with a much clearer view of the prep sports scene than we had before he came along.

TiVo Bolt+ Makes Life Easier for Cable Subscribers
By Marshall Honorof
The TiVo Bolt+ can sync cable content with online streaming services to give you every show you want to watch, in order, sans commercials.
LAS VEGAS – Lately, it seems like every streaming media device is making it easier and easier to cut the cord, with nothing in particular to offer the large number of videophiles who still rely on cable TV. The TiVo Bolt+, on the other hand, is designed with the inveterate cable subscriber in mind. This DVR box can not only record tons of cable content, but also sync it up with online streaming services to give you every show you want to watch, in order, sans commercials.
We met with TiVo at CES 2017 to learn more about its new product. The TiVo Bolt+ is a more powerful variant of the TiVo Bolt DVR box. Like its less sophisticated counterpart, the Bolt+ can record hundreds of hours of HD content (including 4K programming, should it become widely available), skip commercials, speed up and pitch-correct shows (ideal for sports and news) and create unified playlists for shows, drawing from both streaming services and recorded DVR content.
MORE: Best Streaming Players
Differences Between Bolt and Bolt+
The Bolt+ is more powerful than the regular Bolt, with 6 tuners instead of 4 tuners and 3 TB storage instead of 1 TB. On the other hand, while the Bolt works with both HD antenna and cable, the Bolt+ works only with the latter. The Bolt+ is also a few hundred dollars more expensive, as discussed below.
The Bolt+ is available to order now, and costs $500, plus a subscription plan. Said plan costs $15 per month, $150 per year or $550 for a lifetime pass. This is considerably more expensive than almost any other streaming device on the market (including the Xbox One and PS4), and doesn't count the added cost of a cable subscription. Needless to say, the full $1050 package is attractive only to the most hardcore cable TV aficionados.
Cable TV is losing subscribers, but not as quickly as you might think. The traditional cable model is not going anywhere anytime soon, and if you want to integrate your cable and streaming habits, the Bolt+ is arguably the simplest way to do it. The device is also fairly future-proof, boasting plenty of storage space and 4K recording capabilities. It's not cheap, but it does provide a comprehensive service that users can't really get elsewhere.

JohnRS
I've had a BOLT for a year. For OTA and cable it's fine, but for streaming there are software problems which limit it quite a bit. TiVo doesn't seem to be doing much to fix them. It typically takes months to fix the ones the do - which is about one-third. For example: The "unified search" only finds about 70% of the shows carried by streaming sources (Amazon, Hulu, Netflix). For those it finds, it often doesn't list some (or most) of the episodes for a season.
I find new problems at a faster rate than TiVo fixes them, so it's a losing battle I'm afraid.
