Bernard Oliver "Benny" Bengough (July 27, 1898 – December 22, 1968) was an American professional baseball player and coach.[1] He played the majority of his Major League Baseball career as a catcher for the New York Yankees during the 1920s when the team garnered the nickname of Murderers' Row, due to their potent batting lineup.[1][2] He played the final two seasons of his career with the St. Louis Browns.[1] Bengough was a light-hitting, defensive specialist. After his playing career, he spent 18 seasons as a major league coach.[3]

Baseball career
Born in Niagara Falls, New York, Bengough was a graduate of Niagara University.[4] He began his professional baseball career at the age of 18 with the Buffalo Bisons of the International League in 1917.[5] After having played for six seasons in Buffalo, he made his major league debut with the Yankees on May 18, 1923 at the age of 24.[1] 1923 was also the first year the Yankees played their home games in Yankee Stadium. At the beginning of his playing career, Bengough served as a backup catcher to Wally Schang.[4] On June 1, 1925, the same day that Lou Gehrig replaced Wally Pipp as the Yankees' first baseman, Bengough was given the Yankees' starting catcher's job.[3] He ended the season with a .258 batting average along with a career-high 14 doubles and 23 runs batted in.[1]
Although Bengough was a good defensive player, his offense did not satisfy Yankees manager Miller Huggins and, he returned to his role as a backup catcher for the next few seasons.[6][7] He had a close friendship with teammate Babe Ruth, both on and off the field.[8] In 1926, Bengough developed a recurring throwing arm injury and the ailment would keep him from playing in the 1926 World Series.[4][9] He began to play regularly late in the 1928 season and started in all four games of the 1928 World Series, as the Yankees swept the St. Louis Cardinals.[10][11] He led American League catchers in 1928 with a .992 fielding percentage.[12]
Bengough's arm injury continued to hamper him during spring training in 1929 as Bill Dickey took over as the Yankees starting catcher, going on to a successful career and eventual induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.[13][14] In 1930, the Yankees released Bengough to the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association.[1][5] In July 1931, he returned to the major leagues with the St. Louis Browns, where he served as a backup catcher to future Hall of Fame member, Rick Ferrell.[1][5] He played in his final major league game on September 24, 1932.[1] Bengough then returned to the minor leagues where he served as a player-manager for the Washington Generals of the Pennsylvania State Association in 1933 and 1934.[15] He became the player-manager of the Joplin Miners from 1936 to 1937 before retiring as a player at the age of 38.[3][15]
In a ten-year major league career, Bengough played in 411 games, accumulating 287 hits in 1,125 at bats for a .255 career batting average, along with no home runs, 108 runs batted in and an on-base percentage of .295.[1] He had a career fielding percentage of .988 which was 10 points above the league average during his playing career.[1] Bengough caught for five pitchers who would eventually be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame.[16]
After retiring as a player, Bengough was named as a coach for the Newark Bears in December 1937.[17] Bengough became known for entertaining spectators with his humor from the coaching box.[18] He would often remove his cap to reveal his bald head and then run his fingers through his imaginary hair.[3] Bengough coached in the major leagues for the Washington Senators (1940–43), Boston Braves (1944–45) and Philadelphia Phillies (1946–58).[3] He reached another World Series as a coach when the 1950 Phillies team known as the Whiz Kids won the National League pennant. Bengough was relieved of his Phillies coaching duties on April 11, 1959, but continued to work for the organization in public relations.[19]
In 1959, Bengough was named as the head of the Junior Baseball Federation of Philadelphia which raised funds for under-privileged children.[20] He died of a heart attack in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on December 22, 1968, at age 70.[20]

3 Music Organizations Dedicated to Musicians and Recovery
Last Updated on April 22, 2020 by Inspire Malibu
It's impossible to define exactly how important music is in our day-to-day lives. It has the power to bring people together, to soothe sad feelings, and even outline the beliefs and cultural touchstones of the many unique societies around the globe.
So, it's not an exaggeration to suggest that music, in many ways, is a universal language.
Just like the population at large, however, musicians sometimes fall prey to addiction. They are, after all, regular people despite their sonic inclinations.
According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), around one in five adults in the U.S. – more than 44 million people – live with mental health issues.
For artists caught in the blinding glare of fame, substance abuse can be a way to ease the constant pressure to create, perform and meet the demanding schedules and expectations of an industry that moves on all too quickly.
Though they often work behind the scenes and receive little to no praise, there is a growing focus on music-industry organizations dedicated to addressing the all too common problems of mental health and addiction among musical artists.
Here Are Three Organizations Focused on Musicians and Recovery
As a branch of the Recording Academy, MusiCares is a charity that helps generate the attention and resources of the music industry for members of their community struggling with health and welfare issues.
For the past 25 years, the foundation has been an outlet that musicians can "turn to in times of financial, medical and personal crisis."
"We are the generation that's watched several other generations of musicians turn to drugs and turn to excess and coping mechanisms that have destroyed them," singer-songwriter James Blake said in an interview with MusiCares.
"There are so many high-profile people recently who have taken their own lives. So we have a responsibility to talk about [mental health] and remove the stigma."
"I always wanted to help others in my work, but I didn't really realize how much it would transform me," rock star and former guitarist for the Grammy Award winning heavy metal band Korn, Wes Greer, told Thrive Global.
Greer, who described himself as a once "gnarly drug addict," used his success and public profile to start Rock to Recovery after noticing the absence of a music curriculum in each of his rehab stints.
Now, with years of sobriety under his belt, Greer and Rock to Recovery bring music to treatment in an effort to teach those in treatment how to harness a "natural escape from the fear-based mind."
Road Recovery
With a slightly different twist, the Road Recovery Foundation grew out of Gene Bowen's decade-long experience as a tour manager for a variety of internationally acclaimed artists and bands.
Part of Bowen's job, as he describes it, was the daily ritual of getting drugs for the musicians and crews he worked with, as well as himself.
Bowen counts himself as one of the "lucky ones who embraced recovery" with the help of his family, friends and colleagues in the music business.
In 1998, he enlisted the help of Sony Music Entertainment and Dreamworks Records to create this nonprofit organization focused on educating young people about addiction and other challenges.
The Road Recovery Foundation uses programs, such as RoadTrax, that partner with residential treatment programs to empower young people, whether they have previous creative experience or not.
The staff at the organization are former entertainment professionals that overcame similar addiction issues and are now sharing their knowledge, experience and skills with a new generation.
Enriching the Lives of the Music Community
Battling the disease of addiction can be an isolating experience not just in the midst of the struggle, but also in sobriety. A staggering number of people that are coping with substance abuse issues are also dealing with a undiagnosed mental health problems.
This combination of addiction and mental health illnesses is known as co-occurring disorders. The most effective treatment addresses both the addiction and the mental health issues simultaneously.
For some people in the music industry, their talent and success is often, at least on the surface, what led them down a path of substance abuse.
So, it takes courage and support to learn to separate their love for music from the triggers and cravings that previously fueled their self-destructive behaviors.
Organizations like Road Recovery, Rock to Recovery and MusiCares prove once again that helping others move past their addiction enriches the lives and experiences of the community as a whole.

Researchers Unearth Links Between SunCrypt and QNAPCrypt Ransomware golden dumps cc, buy fullz with dl
SunCrypt, a ransomware strain that went on to infect several targets last year, may be an updated version of the QNAPCrypt ransomware, which targeted Linux-based file storage systems, according to new research.
"While the two ransomware [families] are operated by distinct different threat actors on the dark web, there are strong technical connections in code reuse and techniques, linking the two ransomware to the same author," Intezer Lab researcher Joakim Kennedy said in a malware analysis published today revealing the attackers' tactics on the dark web.
First identified in July 2019, QNAPCrypt (or eCh0raix ) is a ransomware family that was found to target Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices from Taiwanese companies QNAP Systems and Synology. The devices were compromised by brute-forcing weak credentials and exploiting known vulnerabilities with the goal of encrypting files found in the system.
The ransomware has since been tracked to a Russian cybercrime group referred to as " FullOfDeep ," with Intezer shutting down as many as 15 ransomware campaigns using the QNAPCrypt variant with denial of service attacks targeting a list of static bitcoin wallets that were created for the express intent of accepting ransom payments from victims, and prevent future infections.
SunCrypt , on the other hand, emerged as a Windows-based ransomware tool written originally in Go in October 2019, before it was ported to a C/C++ version in mid-2020. Besides stealing victims' data prior to encrypting the files and threatening with public disclosure, the group has leveraged distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks as a secondary extortion tactic to pressure victims into paying the demanded ransom.
Most recently, the ransomware was deployed to target a New South Wales-based medical diagnostics company called PRP Diagnostic Imaging on December 29, which involved the theft of "a small volume of patient records" from two of its administrative file servers.
Although the two ransomware families have directed their attacks against different operating systems, reports of SunCrypt's connections to other ransomware groups have been previously speculated.
Indeed, blockchain analysis company Chainalysis earlier last month quoted a "privately circulated report" from threat intelligence firm Intel 471 that claimed representatives from SunCrypt described their strain as a "rewritten and rebranded version of a 'well-known' ransomware strain."
Now according to Intezer's analysis of the SunCrypt Go binaries, not only does the ransomware share similar encryption functions with QNAPCrypt, but also in the file types encrypted and the methods used to generate the encryption password as well as perform system locale checks to determine if the machine in question is located in a disallowed country.
Also of note is the fact that both QNAPCrypt and SunCrypt make use of the ransomware-as-a-service ( RaaS ) model to advertise their tools on underground forums, wherein affiliates carry out the ransomware attacks themselves and pay a percentage of each victim's payment back to the strain's creators and administrators.
Taking into account the overlaps and the behavioral differences between the two groups, Intezer suspects that "the eCh0raix ransomware was transferred to and upgraded by the SunCrypt operators."
"While the technical based evidence strongly provides a link between QNAPCrypt and the earlier version of SunCrypt, it is clear that both ransomware are operated by different individuals," the researchers concluded.
"Based on the available data, it is not possible to connect the activity between the two actors on the forum. This suggests that when new malware services derived from older services appear, they may not always be operated by the same people."

An unidentified man was arrested by local police after he walked on the wing of an Alaska Airlines plane at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, KSNV-TV reported.
The pilot saw the man and warned the control tower before the plane departed to Portland, according to CNN.
In one video of the incident posted on Twitter, the man is seen kicking off his shoes and trying to climb the wing of the plane.
A man who was seen walking, climbing, and taking off his shoes on the wing of an airplane at McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas was arrested by local police on Saturday.
The incident occurred just after 1:30 PM on Saturday, KSNV-TV reported. The Alaska Airlines flight was set to take off for Portland, Oregon, when the unidentified man was seen on the wing of the plane by the pilot, who then warned the control tower, CNN reported.
Footage of the incident posted online shows the man sitting in the middle of the plane's wing. Another video shows the man as kicked off his shoes and tried to go up the winglet—end of the wing— of the plane. In the video, passengers reacted when the man's climbing attempt failed and he fell hard off the wing of the plane.
—ErinInWA (@ErinInWA) December 13, 2020
A spokesperson for the airport told NBC News that the man was arrested and taken to a "medical facility" for treatment.
"Law enforcement was dispatched and able to apprehend the individual," Alaska Airlines told NBC News. "Our guests and employees are safe and we are working with law enforcement. The plane returned to the gate for a full inspection."
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department is currently investigating the incident, KSNV-TV reported.
Alaska Airlines and Las Vegas police did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

El afuste Foster era un tipo de afuste para ametralladoras, empleado en algunos cazas biplanos del Royal Flying Corps durante la Primera Guerra Mundial antes de la introducción del mecanismo sincronizador e inclusive después de ésta. Fue diseñado para permitir que una ametralladora (en la práctica, una ametralladora Lewis) dispare por encima, en lugar de a través del arco de la hélice en movimiento. Tuvo diversas formas al ser instalado en distintos aviones, pero todos tenían en común un riel en I con forma de cuadrante sobre el cual se deslizaba la ametralladora hacia atrás y adelante. Su principal propósito era facilitar la recarga de la ametralladora, pero algunos pilotos también descubrieron que el afuste permitía disparar la ametralladora hacia arriba o en ángulo, pudiendo atacar un caza enemigo desde abajo.

Trasfondo
Antes de la amplia disponibilidad de un mecanismo sincronizador fiable, se probaron varios métodos para montar una ametralladora en una posición desde la cual pudiese disparar sobre antes que a través del arco de la hélice. Incluso después de que estuviesen disponibles mecanismos sincronizadores bastante fiables para ametralladoras que disparaban a cerrojo cerrado, como la ametralladora Vickers, existían motivos para evitar la sincronización. Incluso los mejores mecanismos sincronizadores podían fallar y era muy peligroso disparar balas incendiarias o explosivas a través del arco de la hélice. Algunas ametralladoras, como la Lewis, no eran adecuadas para sincronizarse. Una alternativa era disparar sobre la hélice, especialmente en el caso de los biplanos, donde la estructura del ala superior formaba una base adecuada. Una desventaja era que tal instalación era menos robusta que una en en la parte delantera del fuselaje, con la precisión de la ametralladora a largo alcance siendo afectada por la vibración. Sin embargo, la principal dificultad era el acceso del piloto o artillero al cajón de mecanismos de la ametralladora, para recargarla, así como para desbloquearla.

Los primigenios afustes para una ametralladora Lewis en el ala superior de un avión de reconocimiento ligero eran fijos, aceptándole la dificultad de acceder al cajón de mecanismos o que el piloto tuviese que ponerse de pie (en algunos casos sobre su asiento) para alcanzar la ametralladora y recargarla. Era preferible un afuste con bisagras que permitía inclinar la ametralladora hacia atrás y abajo, para que el piloto pudiese recargarla estando sentado, con varias versiones de tales afustes permitiendo que las ametralladoras Lewis o Hotchkiss M1909 de los cazas franceses Nieuport 11 derriben cazas alemanes Fokker Eindecker a inicios de 1916. Usualmente, dos bisagras eran instaladas en un afuste de pedestal que sostenía el cajón de mecanismos de la ametralladora. Cuando esta era inclinada hacia atrás, el tambor vacío podía retirarse tirando de este en lugar de levantarlo, mientras que la segunda bisagra hacía descender el cajón de mecanismos de la Lewis en la cabina. Diversos mecanismos de muelles metálicos o cuerdas elásticas ayudaban al piloto a reponer la ametralladora en posición de disparo. Las ametralladoras Lewis montadas en las alas superiores fueron una medida provisional en los escuadrones franceses, siendo rápidamente reemplazadas por ametralladoras Vickers sincronizadas. Por otra parte, los pilotos británicos tenían diversos motivos para conservar las Lewis montadas en las alas superiores de sus cazas Nieuport.

A bordo de cazas Nieuport

A comienzos de 1916, el Sargento Foster del Escuadrón No. 11 del RFC mejoró el afuste francés con bisagras para la Lewis del ala superior de un Nieuport 11 o 16, reemplazando la complicada bisagra doble del afuste francés con un riel en I en forma de cuadrante. Este riel se volvió la característica de todos los afustes "Foster" posteriores, permitiendo que el cajón de mecanismos de la ametralladora se deslice hacia atrás y abajo en un solo movimiento, situándolo convenientemente delante del piloto y facilitando su recarga o desbloqueo.

El afuste también permitía disparar la Lewis en ángulo y hacia arriba, para atacar un avión enemigo desde abajo y atrás: una táctica predilecta de varios "ases", incluso Albert Ball. El afuste Schräge Musik empleado por los cazas nocturnos alemanes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial tenía el mismo principio básico. Cuando se disparaba hacia adelante, el gatillo de la Lewis era controlado mediante un cable Bowden (véase la ilustración al inicio del artículo); cuando se disparaba hacia arriba, el pistolete era empuñado por el piloto (como se aprecia en la imagen de esta sección).

Algunos pilotos se quejaban de que los cuadrantes se torcían o rompían cuando eran sometidos a la tosca y torpe manipulación inevitable en un combate aéreo, con algunos de ellos empleando cuerda elástica para reemplazar o complementar el muelle plano que ayudaba a retornar la ametralladora a su posición de disparo frontal. Sin embargo, en general el afuste fue muy exitoso; y para los escuadrones del RFC equipados con cazas Nieuport era preferible antes que los poco fiables sincronizadores mecánicos. Quedó en servicio con los británicos en los posteriores Nieuport 17 y Nieuport 24, aunque es evidente un cierto refuerzo del cuadrante en las fotografías.

A bordo del S.E.5

Debido a la disposición diferente de las alas y el fuselaje, la adaptación del afuste en el S.E.5a no fue tan sencilla. La versión "S.E.5" del afuste requería un riel cuadrante mucho más largo y robusto. Cuando el S.E. fue equipado con un motor más potente, elevando la línea del fuselaje y el borde del arco de la hélice, fue necesario elevar el afuste a la misma altura, para asegurarse que la línea de disparo pasaba encima de la hélice. Mientras Albert Ball continuaba empleando la técnica de disparar hacia arriba en algunas de sus últimas victorias, otros pilotos resaltaron la gran habilidad y puntería necesarios para tener éxito con esta maniobra a bordo de un S.E.5. Varios pilotos también observaron las dificultades de recargar con rapidez la ametralladora, especialmente en medio de un combate aéreo.

En lugar de ser equipado con un reemplazo de la ametralladora sincronizada, la Lewis montada sobre afuste Foster del S.E.5 era un complemento de la primera. Las dos ametralladoras eran normalmente empleadas juntas, ambas siendo apuntadas mediante una mira Aldis, lo que implicaba un cierto grado de convergencia; pero en otros aspectos, esta disposición de armamentos era poco menos que idónea. Se tomó en consideración el reemplazo del armamento "híbrido" del S.E.5 con dos ametralladoras (ya sean dos Vickers sincronizadas o dos Lewis sobre afuste Foster), pero se calculó que la sección central del ala superior tendría que reforzarse para soportar el retroceso y la vibración producidos por dos Lewis disparando al mismo tiempo. Las versiones para dos ametralladoras del mecanismo sincronizador hidráulico C.C. no estuvieron disponibles hasta fines de 1917 y los primeros ejemplares fueron requeridos para reemplazar al inferior mecanismo Sopwith-Kauper empleado en los primeros Sopwith Camel, por lo que el armamento del S.E.5 continuó siendo el mismo durante su producción. En los S.E.5 empleados por unidades de entrenamiento avanzado en 1918, el afuste Foster demostró ser adaptable para instalar la fotoametralladora Hythe, una de las primeras de su tipo. Así se evitaban los reflejos de la hélice en rotación que podrían interferir en las imágenes tomadas por una fotoametralladora montada en el morro.

A bordo del Sopwith Camel

El 2F.1, la variante embarcada del Sopwith Camel, iba armada con una ametralladora Lewis montada sobre el ala superior, principalmente como arma antidirigible. Como la adaptación de cualquier tipo de afuste Foster a un Sopwith Camel no era factible, se desarrolló un afuste especial cuya designación oficial era "Montaje de ala superior del Almirantazgo", que pasó a ser el afuste estándar del 2F.1.

Para eliminar el fogonazo de las ametralladoras montadas en el morro, el cual podía cegar momentáneamente a un piloto por la noche, algunos de los F.1 Camel empleados como cazas nocturnos fueron modificados para instalarles afustes Foster. Las posiciones del asiento del piloto y el tanque de combustible principal fueron intercambiadas, alejando al piloto del ala superior. Se le instalaron dos afustes Foster, con sus rieles cuadrantes sostenidos por un soporte especial tipo "portería", o simplemente por una cruceta entre ellos.

Otros tipos e instalaciones experimentales

El nombre informal "Sopwith Comic" también fue aplicado a un Sopwith 1½ Strutter con modificación de campaña empleado por algunos escuadrones de defensa metropolitanos. La cabina fue movida detrás de las alas, mientras que una o dos Lewis, ya sea montadas sobre afuste Foster o fijadas para disparar hacia arriba, reemplazaban a la Vickers sincronizada.

La versión de caza nocturno del Avro 504K también estaba armada con una Lewis montada sobre un afuste Foster tipo "S.E 5a modificado" (véase la imagen al inicio del artículo). Este avión tenía un espacio mucho más grande entre el fuselaje y el ala superior que los otros aviones equipados con este afuste, por lo que debió ser muy complicado de usar. A bordo del B.E.12b, destinado como caza nocturno, las ametralladoras Lewis iban montadas sobre el ala superior en afustes improvisados, inclusive uno que se parecía a los afustes de doble bisagra originales de los primeros Nieuport franceses.

Los intentos de instalar una o dos ametralladoras Lewis montadas sobre afuste Foster en el Bristol F.2 Fighter no tuvieron éxito. Entre otros problemas, el afuste producía interferencia con la brújula, que iba montada en el borde de fuga del ala superior. Este problema persistió, incluso cuando el afuste era montado a estribor.

Twenty-five percent of all small to medium size businesses fail after their first year; 36% after the second year. There is no single reason for the "fail" rate. Mistakes are made. All enterprises plan to succeed when they start – some, fail to plan. New customers, new product orders, new service orders are generally considered necessary to a successful business. An advertising budget is about new orders, new sales.


Thinking of starting a business and need some inspiration? Check out the small business success stories by Alibaba.com. I'm always inspired by how some of the best products and businesses begin with a simple idea or need.
A while back we shared a success story covering two young California based entrepreneurs, Eduardo and Clark who loved the outdoors and watersports. They loved to go water tubing, but wondered how the group they're tubing with can stick together on the water without dealing with tangled ropes they'd need to tie around each other's tubes. They searched and couldn't find anything out there that fit what they needed and that was their 'aha' moment. They decided to create their own version of a float tube that would interlock with other similar float tubes like a puzzle, allowing groups to stick together while on the water.
They knew they had to find a manufacturer for their product and since the idea was new, they had to find a manufacturer with custom design capabilities. They heard about Alibaba.com from their teacher and decided to give it a try. Soon enough, they were working directly with the head designer at the factory in China. Their product is called Fluzzle Tubes, which stands for floating puzzle. One of the founders calls their product Social Wetworking, since the intent of the product is to be interlocked with others.
Eduardo and Clark ended up creating a brand new product and were offered a national order from BIG5 Sporting Goods, a national retail chain.
A year later, we decided to follow up with the co-founder of Fluzzle Tube, Eduardo and he told us that he's getting ready to head to China to meet with his supplier. We decided to follow him and capture his journey.
Some of the things I often hear when it comes to international trade are the barriers associated with it. Everything from language, travel and trust are the usual concerns. However, while speaking with Eduardo, he was not one bit concerned about flying to China, in fact he was excited. He has a great relationship with his supplier and language or trust has never been an issue. According to Eduardo, you have to do your due diligence when selecting the right manufacturer and make sure they're able to do what you're seeking.
The main reason for Eduardo's trip to China was to work with his supplier in adding new products to his product line. So what started off as an idea for a hobby, turned into a successful product, which has now turned into an actual business. Eduardo and Clark, who are both in their 20's are an example of how business is done today.
The opportunities and resources are out there, you just need an idea and a plan.


Bits or pieces?: Commoditise, Commoditise!
I'm a happy man, the team has been working hard and done a great job.
Zimki is an online development environment that is designed to make developing web apps - quick and easy.
Hosting and everything of that ilk is taken care of, and the whole system works on a utility based model - you pay for what you use, no more, no less.
The whole idea behind Zimki came from removing all the obvious barriers to developing a fun web app (startup cost, hosting, setup, server environment, backups, scaling etc) and reducing the complexity of others (database, persistance, users, login etc), thus enabling developers to get on with the art of developing.
It fits in-between SaaS and HaaS - and hopefully will become a platform for developing SaaS like apps in the future.
There is a change occuring in the software industry - a positive one of commoditisation which will open the door to new future opportunities, in much the same way that today's industry is built upon the past commoditisation of power (utility electricity providers) and data processing (the silicon chip).
so what do SaaS and HaaS actaully mean?
Software as a Service (SaaS) and Hardware as a Service (HaaS).
The basic principle is that you pay for what you use as opposed to a fixed subscription or flat fee.
It is not an exclusive principle, so many models can be built combining both fixed / subscription charges and utility charges.
Where utility charges exist, there is the question of measurement. How do you measure use? By number of users? By CPU cycles? By IO? etc.

This paper examines the differences and similarities in residential movement patterns and motivations between young households (under 50), pre-elderly households (50 through 64) and elderly households (65 and over). We use deed transfer records and a survey of home owners who moved between late 2004 and early 2006 in Franklin County, the central county of the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area. The patterns are mapped and the motivations and household characteristics are explored through descriptive analysis and discriminant analysis. Most expectations are supported and the pre-elderly are seen to be a distinct group with some similarities to each of the other two age cohorts, but also some unique characteristics and interests.

Chapter 11: Epilogue
"Asuma!" Kakashi yelled giving the boy threatening eyes.
The teenager laughed, and with a poof he was gone.
Magenta flinched for the yelling that was to come.
"Magi! I told you that I don't like him around you." Kakashi said sighing.
Magenta sighed, "Daddy, he's a sweet guy, and every time you even see him you threaten him with a chidori in the head. I'm fifteen, shouldn't I be able to choose my own boyfriend?"
Kakashi sighed, "I guess you're right I'm sorry."
Just then Kurenai and Shikamaru walked up with Asuma in tow.
Shikamaru gave Asuma a fierce glare.
"I'm sorry for coming over without permission Hatake-san."
Kakashi sighed, "It's alright, but next time just ask."
After Asuma's death, Shikamaru had spent more and more time with Kurenai preparing for the baby. They ended up getting married, and both agreed that the baby should be named after a true hero. Now the boy was a troublemaker always trying to sneak over to Magenta's house, or vice versa. Kakashi was starting to get fairly tolerant with the boy, but still didn't like him too much.
Sasuke watched as his boys trained. They had both already mastered the Chidori, and the Sharingan. They were a handful when they were little, considering they graduated from the academy at age four. Can you imagine two four-year-old boys with that much power?
Anyway, They were now full-fledged ANBU. They had been since they were about ten. Sasuke now had ten other beautiful children as well, and Moegi was pregnant with eleven and twelve. He didn't know why, but she only had twins. It was odd, but he still loved each and every one of his children. The Uchiha family was building up again.
Somehow when Obito's eye was transplanted into Kakashi, their blood mixed, and Obito's was dominant. Meaning, that Kakashi passes down the Kekei Genkai to all his children. Kakashi now has five children, with his youngest being four. Kai had been getting over Magenta. She had dumped him right after he had been gone for a yearlong mission. Tou was starting to take interest in Naruto's eldest daughter, but was too shy to take any initiative. Naruto had started to become impatient. He sent them on as many missions together as possible, not only because he wanted them to be together, but because they made a great team as well.
Sasuke stopped reminiscing when the doorbell rang. It was Suzuka. Suzuka was Choji and Ino's daughter, and she had the hugest crush on Kai. He had some interest in her, but was still getting over Magenta, who had long since moved on. Suzuka walked into the room looking for Kai.
"Uchiha-san, where is Kai-kun?" she said sweetly.
"He's out in the garden sparing with Tou." Sasuke said.
Suzuka quietly walked out to the garden were she swiftly stopped the fight and pulled Kai to the side. Kai nodded and the two disappeared. Who knew where they were going. Tou walked inside and collapsed on the couch.
"Still not quite to his level of power yet huh?" Sasuke said sitting next to him.
"Don't worry dad, I will catch up to him."
Sasuke smiled, "Don't worry about it. I felt the same way when I was a boy. Only it was bit different for me. I don't want you and your brother ending up like my brother and me."
Tou sighed, "Dad you always say something like that, but you never told me exactly what happened between you and Uncle."
Sasuke sighed, "Tou...Your Uncle was a very...How should I say this? He was crazy, and for a short time so was I. All we lived for was power. I almost killed my best friend. This place we live in was once blossoming. There were people in every house, each with a smile on his or her face. Itachi, he killed every single person. Men, Women, and children. I grew hatred for him, and wanted revenge. He was always a step ahead of me. Eventually I did catch up with him, but I didn't go about doing it the right way. It was when I was reunited with my brother that I killed him. With no reason to stay on my own I came back here and tried to Kidnapped Sakura."
Tou gasped, "You tried to Kidnap Hatake-san!?"
Sasuke gave a sad laugh, "Yes, but I did not know she was married. It was only when I found this out that I let her go. I met your mother a few months later after living in the village. I was supposed to teach her squad, but instead I fell in love."
SHORT SWEET AND TO THE POINT^_^
OK, SO I KNOW I KNOW FOR ALL OF YOU ITACHI FANS. DON'T WORRY, CUS I ABSOLUTELY ADORE ITACHI AS WELL, BUT I WROTE THIS LONG BEFORE THEY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT THE VILLAGE ELDERS FORCING HIM TO KILL THE CLAN AND SO FORTH. I DON'T MEAN TO SMASH ITACHI IN ANY WAY. I HOPE YOU LIKED THE ENDING, NO MATTER HOW SHORT, AND PLEASE ENJOY FUTURE STORIES.^_^

First published in October 2011 on a blog written by Matthew Steeples, we revisit the story of the leading gatecrashers who boldly go where no others would dare.
Gatecrashers are people who get into parties without invitations. Central London seems to be awash with them and though they lack the gaul of Washington's Michaele and Tareq Salahi (who crashed President Obama's White House state dinner for the Indian Prime Minister), they are truly a menace wherever they go.
Last night I hosted a small and totally private drinks party in a restaurant. The guests were specifically invited on the basis that they were known to me and were the kind of people that frankly it is always a pleasure to see. In total, at this small gathering, there were around 30 individuals. One or two came with a friend but all were welcomed in the spirit that they had been invited.
The conversation, wine and canapés flowed and the atmosphere was superb. The only blot was the arrival of not just one but a whole throng of London's leading gatecrashers. These individuals are well known on the party circuit and barred from most places and by most PRs but somehow they manage to skulk in a rat-like fashion into all kind of gatherings.
The first was a plump man in bright red cords. Accompanied by an equally large Persian friend, this individual told the staff he knew the hosts and helped himself to a glass of wine before asking someone else: "Has the wine tasting finished?" Plainly he didn't know what the event was even in aid of.
Shortly afterwards, this merry pair, by now plonked in a corner with their looted drinks, were joined by a frumpish grey-haired woman who had told the staff at the entrance firstly she was attending in her capacity as a journalist from Condé Nast before changing tack and declaring herself to be an estate agent. Her story did not convince a soul. As she sauntered towards the duo she was joining, I quickly instructed the staff not to serve her a drop. Minutes later, this most gruesome trio were gone and that, I thought, would be that.
Within seconds a fourth person who plainly was not connected to anyone in the room descended the staircase into the party. This bald headed chap looked around in a somewhat bemused fashion before plainly realising his gaggle had moved on and he too departed.
The party continued but not without further incident. Ten minutes before the end, three more uninvited people appeared. Plainly the jungle drums of London's leading crashers had been beating. Their leader, who looks very much like Julian Assange, asked the waiter for a drink and was told the party was over. He mumbled something about it being outrageous that he and his friends had made the effort to come and were thus entitled to a drink but gathering nothing would be forthcoming, they somewhat hastily beat a retreat.
The Assange lookalike is a particularly irksome person to my mind as he has crashed three of my parties now. Firstly he appeared at a photography event I organised. I knew for a fact that he wasn't invited but as there were 300 people present, I let it go. Later in the year he turned up at a book launch I helped arrange in Bond Street. I made sure he didn't stay long. Yesterday, however, he crossed the line. This especially annoying individual should be stopped in his tracks and perhaps ought to learn the perils of his "profession" by reading up on the case of another of his type named Alan MacDonald.
MacDonald may have been someone I've seen at events but he truly only came to my attention after his death. I don't know what he looked like but the account of how he met his end would be comical if it hadn't ended in tragedy. The story goes that Mr MacDonald, who the Daily Mail describe as a "Savile Row suited gatecrasher," somehow got into a party at The Dorchester, hosted by the Kuwaiti ambassador, to celebrate his country's national day and choked on a canapé. Within minutes he was dead.
MacDonald and the Assange lookalike are sadly not unique in their pursuit of free beverages, canapés and gift bags. There is, in fact, an entire gang of them and they were exposed some years ago by Guardian journalist Victoria Coren after, led by a convicted fraudster named Terence Jolley, they attempted to gatecrash the memorial service of her well known father Alan. In the weeks before the service, Coren received an email warning her about Jolley and his merry band and realising he'd already stated his intention to attend she decided to do some digging. A simple Google search revealed that this crasher was a former magistrate with a personality disorder who had defrauded London Underground of £5,000. Though she didn't manage to stop them attending and munching on the sandwiches, she invented another fake memorial and invited the lot of them. They all fell for the plot and from that she got their many aliases. Revenge was then served through their naming and shaming in two Guardian pieces.
Though I've never, to my knowledge, met Jolley, I have encountered many others of his ilk. First there's one who looks like Iain Duncan-Smith. He hails from somewhere in Hertfordshire and gets himself into everything from receptions at Sotheby's and Christie's to a small party hosted by Bloom Gin. Another, who is about 50, lives in Cricklewood with his mum and claims to be a descendant of a very well known banking family. He isn't.
The most notorious and best known, however, is a bow tie wearing character who tells all and sundry he owns Harvey Nick's. A friend who works for the company tells a tale of him blagging his way into a party at the store only to be carried out by the security. He plainly has a following as on Twitter there is now a group devoted to his crashing named @wheresthepun that has 313 followers.
On one occasion, I asked one of the more charming crashers what he was doing at a small event in The Ritz. His answer was blatantly simple: "It's a public hotel so of course I came in". Some, such as the writer William Cash, even believe these freeloaders add to a party. In a 2006 piece for the Evening Standard, he states: "I would almost go so far as to say no A-list party is complete until they show up".
Journalists themselves are well known as crashers. One Daily Mail hack got her biggest scoop by sneaking into a party hosted by Kate Moss and uncovered wild scenes of debauchery. Toby Young, equally, in the years before becoming a married father of four, made it his aim to get past the security and into the likes of the Vanity Fair Oscar's bash. He was pretty successful at it. Though inexcusable in the eyes of any host, these crashers, unlike Assange and his cohorts, are at least doing it as part of an effort to earn a living.
Julian Assange himself may be holed up in a country mansion and not allowed out. His lookalike though shall suffer quite the opposite fate. The door to my parties, Mr Lookalike, is now firmly closed and you won't be getting back in.
I think in part to your tireless efforts, these people are now seen less and less frequently on the social scene. Even more so now that their pictures have been circulated to every trade publication, art gallery and PR agency used by the profession. Safe to say that Pun, Assange, and their coterie of prosecco pilfering perverts' days are numbered.

Ukraine wants longer range missiles as Russia learns from its mistakes
By Tim Lister and Fred Pleitgen, CNN

Ukrainian officials say the Russians are learning from their battlefield mistakes and making it harder for Ukraine's missiles to hit their ammunition depots and logistics hubs. That's why, they say, Ukraine needs longer range missiles that can reach inside Russia.
They also believe the appointment of Gen. Valery Gerasimov as the commander of Russia's offensive in Ukraine is a last throw of the dice by the Kremlin after multiple reshuffles of its military hierarchy.
The deputy chief of Ukraine's Defense Intelligence, Vadym Skibitsky, told CNN Monday that the Russians have begun dispersing military supplies "across the entire territory of the Russian Federation."
In particular, he said, "everything is moved to the southern regions through the Crimean peninsula" from logistical hubs in the Russian region of Rostov.
"If you ask what's critical for the Russian Federation, the centers of gravity are these very hubs, and they need to be struck in order to disrupt the supply systems of all kinds," Skibitsky said.
And this requires strikes against facilities not only in Russian-occupied Crimea, "but also in the Russian Federation," Skibitsky said.
He described Russia's logistics systems as lying 80 to 120 kilometers (50-75 miles) from the front line, which means Ukraine needs longer-range strike systems to target them.

Another reason for long-range artillery: multiple Ukrainian officials have told CNN that Ukraine wants to launch a counteroffensive before Russian reinforcements are equipped and ready to move. But to do that, Kyiv needs to be able to reach further.
"In order to prepare a counteroffensive or offensive operation you need to destroy many installations, not only on the front line, but also deep behind, 100-150 kilometers behind the enemy lines," Skibitsky said.
"Especially now, to form strong strike groupings we require tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, heavy weapons that would enable quick counteroffensive operations against the enemy."
Last summer, US-made HIMARS were highly effective in taking out such hubs in occupied parts of Ukraine's southern Kherson region. But they would not have the range to hit Russian territory.
The Biden administration has so far been careful not to provide Ukraine with systems that can reach Russia.
Preparing for spring
Ukraine is now bracing for a brutal spring, expecting a Russian offensive aimed at completing the seizure of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions – the goal set by President Vladimir Putin for Russia's "special military operation."
"The Russian Federation will continue to pursue offensive action because it has failed in its primary goal: the full occupation of Donetsk and Luhansk regions," Skibitsky said, "and it is in these territories that we foresee to be the focus of the main offensive efforts of the Russian Federation."
He also sees a regrouping of Russian forces. "We can see that the troops that were undergoing training in Belarus are already here, in Luhansk," he said. "So they were preparing, they created reserves, and these reserves include units of the Airborne Forces."
The Ukrainian military's most senior officer, Gen. Valerii Zaluzhniy, said in December that Ukraine expected a Russian offensive any time between the end of January and March.

The question remains whether the most recent reshuffle of the Russian command might delay such an offensive.
Skibitsky said that "giving all responsibility to Gerasimov is probably [Putin's] last chance to rectify the situation and to at least partially achieve the goals" set at the beginning of the invasion.
"Right now all the resources, all the armed forces, the entire logistics system, the entire weapons manufacturing, supply and maintenance system available for the troops are in his hands," he said.
But the Ukrainians believe Russia's military machine is still deficient on several fronts, and expect further changes to come in its hierarchy.
"According to our assessment, this is not the final change," Skibitsky said. "[Putin] really does have problems with the command, both at the top level, the generals, and at the bottom level of platoon or company commander."
Rationing weapons and Wagner's role
Skibitsky and other Ukrainian officials who have spoken with CNN say the Russians are also struggling to produce weapons in sufficient quantities, especially tanks, fighting vehicles and artillery systems. "We see very little in terms of new weaponry," he said.
US and Ukrainian officials told CNN earlier this month that Russia's artillery fire is down dramatically from its wartime high, in some places by as much as 75%.
They said Russia might be rationing artillery rounds due to low supplies, or it could be part of a broader reassessment of tactics in the face of successful Ukrainian counteroffensives.

Zelensky shakes up Ukrainian government amid growing corruption scandal
The Ukrainians also appear to believe that Wagner private military contractors, which have been prominent in the assault on the eastern town of Soledar, may have peaked.
"Everything related to any success on the Donetsk and Luhansk axis is going to be attributed to the armed forces of the Russian Federation and Gerasimov," Skibitsky said, adding that oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin's mercenary group was likely to play a diminished part due to internal Russian power struggles.
"The leadership of the Russian armed forces are going to try to belittle Prigozhin's role and place however they can, so he cannot strengthen his position in the Kremlin hierarchy," he said.
After weeks in which attention has been focused on the eastern city of Bakhmut and the Wagner presence on the battlefront, Ukrainian officials also expect the next stage of the conflict to play out over a much broader canvas.
"Wagner is no longer acting alone," Skibitsky said. "Other reserves have been brought there, like those Airborne Troops, and other fighting brigades of the Russian Federation, therefore we can no longer talk about Wagner acting there."

Two new startups join e4f incubation scheme
Birmingham Science Park Aston (BSPA) added two new startups to its technology incubation scheme.
Innovative e-commerce company Poikos and social games studio The Play Mob are among the latest businesses to join BSPA's Entrepreneurs for the Future (e4f) business incubator.
The scheme supports technology start-up companies in achieving growth and commercial success by providing funding support, expert advice and mentoring for six months.
Companies taking part in the programme also benefit from office or desk space alongside access to telephone and internet services.
Katherine Preston, business incubation manager of e4f, said: "There's no denying that the technology sector gives the impression of being a predominantly male-dominated environment, so it's great that we are working with companies such as Poikos and The Play Mob who combat this stereotype.
"The e4f programme is perfect for technology start-up businesses like these, because we can open doors to funding streams and other business support services.
"I would like to wish The Play Mob, Poikos and all of the other companies based in the incubator the best of luck in launching their products."
Established in July 2010, Poikos aims to help deliver custom-fit, custom-designed clothing at affordable prices, thanks to an intelligent piece of software that accurately captures the dimensions of a person's body and can be run through any web camera.
Eleanor Watson, founder of Poikos, said: "Being based at the Science Park puts us right next to other tech entrepreneurs, which provides some real inspiration and insight into different markets, as well as some great networking opportunities.
"Being able to make use of the e4f facilities has been instrumental to our success so far."
Meanwhile Play Mob develops games that are designed to tackle environmental and social issues such as reforestation or the impact of negative emotions in young people and has already worked with companies including Shell and Futurelab.
Play Mob has also recently received funds from both the US and Singapore governments.
Jude Ower, chief executive of The Play Mob, said: "The connections to mentors and other companies that the Park provides is truly outstanding, with a broad range of different networking events that enable us to engage with different businesses from around the city."

Tax Accountant Miami Weighs in on Payroll Tax Cut "
Senate Republicans are offering their own legislation to extend the payroll tax cut while avoiding an extra surtax on millionaires according to Gustavo A Viera CPA a Tax Accountant Miami.
According to Viera, a Tax Accountant Miami, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ken., offered up the plan on Wednesday as an alternative to Senate Democrats' plan for offsetting the extension with the millionaire surtax. According to Viera, Tax Accountant Miami, McConnell's plan would pay for the cost of the extension by freezing the salaries of federal government employees for three years, as well as cut the federal workforce by 10 percent. It would also do means testing of unemployment benefits and Medicare.
Tax Accountant Miami have been pushing to extend and expand the payroll tax cut, which is due to expire at the end of the year. The tax cut currently shaves 2 percentage points off of Social Security and Medicare payroll withholding taxes, reducing them from 6.2 to 4.2 percent.
As part of his jobs package, Tax Accountant Miami has proposed extending and expanding the payroll tax cut by cutting it in half to 3.1 percent for employees, providing a $1,500 tax cut to the average family. Obama has also proposed extending the tax cut to businesses, cutting in half the taxes they pay on their first $5 million in payroll, and completely eliminating payroll taxes for companies that increase their payrolls by either adding new workers or increasing the wages of their current workers, capped at the first $50 million in payroll increases.
The plan outlined by McConnell would extend the current 2 percent payroll tax cut without expanding it to 3.1 percent or provide the tax cut for small business employers states Viera, Tax Accountant Miami.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., introduced legislation this week that would pay for the $265 billion cost of the extension and expansion of the payroll tax cut with a 3.25 percent surtax on millionaires. A test vote on the bill, known as the Middle Class Tax Cut Act of 2011, is scheduled for Friday. Tax Accountant Miami support the bill.
President Obama has been promoting the Democratic plan to extend and expand the payroll tax cut for another year, delivering a speech Wednesday at a high school in Scranton, Pa. He warned that failing to extend the payroll tax cut would deliver a "massive blow" to the economy, with the typical middle-class family seeing their taxes go up by $1,000 next year. On the other hand, they would get an average tax cut of $1,500 if Congress voted for his plan according to Tax Accountant in Miami Viera.
The Republican alternative bill, known as the Temporary Tax Holiday and Government Reduction Act, would extend the current temporary payroll tax holiday for one year without adding to the federal deficit, eliminate millionaires' and billionaires' eligibility for unemployment compensation and food stamps, and require millionaires and billionaires to pay higher Medicare premiums. The bill would offset the costs by reducing the size of the federal workforce and extending the current federal employee pay freeze for three additional years, an idea from the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission.
The bill also includes the Buffett Rule Act, named after billionaire Warren Buffett, which allows taxpayers who feel they are not taxed enough to voluntarily donate any amount of money to the U.S. Treasury on their tax returns for the purpose of paying down the national debt. Republicans said it would also cut the size of the federal budget deficit by $111 billion.

In comparison to smaller clubs and theaters, arenas are often leading the way when it comes to accessibility. It's often easier to find detailed accessibility information on their websites, and accessible seating options are almost always available at the point of purchase. Arenas also do a better job of accommodating as many disabilities as possible. That being said, arena accessibility is not without its flaws.

Girl group APRIL has more or less flown under the radar for the duration of their 3-year career, facing a number of lineup changes and other challenges as they went. Their new title track "The Blue Bird" should be the one to give them a bump. Its sweet, bright sound is perhaps as classically K-pop as girl groups can get these days, and it's extremely well-constructed besides. Of course, that may be just APRIL's problem—they're so classic that they're, well, typical. Still, for fans of the chirping vocals and sweeping synths that have long been at the core of K-pop's girl group scene, new mini album "The Blue" is some of the best music we're going to hear all spring.
"The Blue Bird" is perhaps slightly more mature than APRIL's past work, and it draws out the ladies' talent in ways that we don't always hear from the group. The chorus's elegant melody demands big vocals, and APRIL delivers. It's a little reminiscent of the sound GFRIEND is known for. The recurring dance break with its trilling strings is another graceful moment, but even so, traces of the group's cute concepts remain, such as the sweet sing-talking leading into the chorus. All these hook factors add up to something that has you humming along without knowing it. The rest of the album, while as risk-averse as the title track, is also just as strong on hooks. The racing "Beep" is a personal favorite, with the piping high note in the latter half of the chorus that recalls both a songbird (a blue bird?) and, of course, a beeping noise. All the songs are good ones, and highly recommended listening for anyone who has ever enjoyed any sweet girl group concept.
THE BLUE BIRD: KAYBOP OR KAYFLOP? Bop!!


Each TRIUMF summer school has a different theme selected from fields spanning the breadth of our research program. Please refer to the school websites for this year's programs.
The TSI gives graduate students and young researchers a practical course on modern experimental or theoretical methods and challenges in a variety of fields.
The TSI is designed to be very interactive with ample time for questions and discussions. Part of the afternoons is reserved for hands-on problems to help learn and digest the physics of the lectures.
TRISEP is an international summer school organized jointly by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, SNOLAB, and TRIUMF. The host venue alternates each year amonsgt the three institutions.
TRISEP features lectures by leading experts in the field of particle physics and is designed to be very interactive with ample time for questions, discussions and interaction with the speakers. The school is intended for graduate students of all levels who were already exposed to quantum field theory.
GRIDS is a summer school that was started in 2018 for graduate students and new post-docs in nuclear, particle, and astroparticle physics to get hands-on training with the detector and instrumentation technology used in modern experiments. It is aimed primarily for those students and post-docs with limited experience with experimental hardware.
The school will offer a diversified program, combining plenary lectures on a variety of topics from leading experts with hands-on laboratory experience with typical detector and instrumentation technologies.
Participants will develop a basic understanding of the interactions of particles with matter that are relevant to radiation detecting and of the physical mechanisms for collecting energy deposited by radiation.
Participants will also develop lab skills to operate commonly-used equipment for radiation detection in a safe and effective manner.
The school is open to National and International graduate students, and new post-docs. Acceptance to the school is limited.

The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Pastor Enoch Adeboye, will hold a special prayer service for leaders and emerging leaders at the church headquarters, The Throne of Grace, 1-9 Redemption Way, Ebute Meta, Lagos, on Sunday.
The Special Assistant to the General Overseer on Admin and Personnel, Pastor Johnson Odesola, made this known at a briefing in Lagos.
He said the essence of the special service is to pray specifically for leaders and emerging leaders in the country.
"This service, which is to be led by Pastor E. A. Adeboye, is to prepare all leaders and new leaders for the task of leading us to greater heights.
"This service is not only for political leaders as the challenge of nation building is for all of us. Leaders in various segments of our society are expected," Odesola said.
