Cubs Stock Market Report: An offensive explosion
The Cubs scored a lot of runs last week, on a lot of hits!

Richard Mackson-USA TODAY Sports
Addison Russell: Addy had a huge week at the plate, going 10-for-25 with two home runs, eleven runs batted in, and a stolen base. One of his home runs was a grand slam that turned a three-run deficit into a one-run lead, helping to propel the Cubs to a win against the Twins on Friday. His season line sits at .286/.358/.407, good for 108 wRC+. Russell's already been worth 2.0 fWAR through 74 games this season, easily surpassing the 1.4 fWAR he posted in 110 games in 2017.
Javier Baez: I'm running out of superlatives for this guy. Baez had five multi-hit games this week, including a 4-for-5 effort against the Dodgers that saw him hit two home runs, one of which was a grand slam. On the week, Javy went 14-for-29 with two homers, 11 runs batted in, and 10 runs. El Mago ranks second in all of baseball among second baseman with an fWAR of 2.9, and ranks fourth with a wRC+ of 132. This guy needs to be the starting second baseman for the National League in the All Star Game, and I think we would all love to see him make an appearance in the Home Run Derby.
Willson Contreras: As with seemingly every other member of the Cubs offense, Contreras finds his name on the Blue Chip Stock portion of the list. Willy went 10-for-24 with a triple, a home run, and seven runs batted in. His wRC+ for the season is up to 118, just three points short of the 121 he posted last year.
Chili Davis: After holding a hitters-only meeting after a five-game losing streak, the offense decided to break out in a big way, scoring 60 runs in their last six games, including back-to-back-to-back games in which the Cubs scored at least 10 runs. Davis has also worked his magic with a number of other players on the Cubs roster, including Jason Heyward, Javier Baez, and Albert Almora Jr.
Solid Investments
Kyle Schwarber: Schwarber went 7-for-20 with a home run, five runs, and five walks on the week. He ranks as the fifth best left fielder in all of baseball with an fWAR of 2.4, and ranks as the third best defensive left fielder in all of baseball too. (!!!)
Jason Heyward: Heyward continues to show no signs of slowing down, going 10-for-29 with two doubles, a home run, and nine runs scored. Since returning from his concussion, Heyward is batting a cool .324/.362/.493, amounting to a 128 wRC+. He's proving to be a spark in the second spot in the lineup to go along with his usually stellar defense.
Albert Almora Jr.: Almora went 9-for-22 with a home run and five runs batted in, raising his batting average to .331, good for fifth in all of baseball. #WriteInAlmora.
Brian Duensing: There isn't any other way to put it, Duensing has been awful this year. He sports a 6.92 ERA, and he's walking more batters than he's striking out, that's never a good combination for a reliever. Come August 1, I would be surprised to see Duensing still on this roster.
Buy: The Cubs are the best team in the National League. Even with the current struggles of Kyle Hendricks and Tyler Chatwood, the pitching staff still ranks second in the National League in terms of ERA. The Cubs rank first in the National League with 5.12 runs per game. Once Kris Bryant returns to his normal self and Yu Darvish turns into the pitcher we thought he would be, this team has the chance to be the best in baseball.
Sell: The Cubs don't need to make a move at the deadline. While I don't think they'll make a move for someone like Manny Machado, the Cubs still need to address their needs in the bullpen. Look for them to make a move at the deadline for an impact reliever to help bridge the gap to Brandon Morrow and Carl Edwards Jr.

Following a white hart
Exploring myth & meaning
Sisyphus and the rock
The flight of Icarus
The myth of Pegasus
The quest of Perseus
The chariot of the sun
The birth of Venus
Muse on Pegasus. Odilon Redon. 1910. Private collection. In addition to Muse on Pegasus (1900), there are numerous other versions of the mythic horse-god by Redon, including: Black Pegasus I (1909), Pegasus Captured (1889), Pegasus (1894), White Pegasus (1900), Pegasus Triumphant alternately known as Pegasus and the Hydra (1907), and Black Pegasus II (1914).
A work of art is above all an adventure of the mind.
Eugene Ionesco (1909-94), French dramatist
While Bellerophon was visiting Argives, King Proteus and his wife Antea entertained him. During his stay, Antea asked Bellerophon to meet her secretly so that they could lie together but he was an honorable man and refused. In retaliation, Antea told her husband that the innocent youth had tried to lie with her against her will. She begged her husband to execute him.
Proteus was unwilling to kill Bellerophon himself. Instead Proteus dispatched him to Lycia with letters of introduction which contained many slanderous lies. He told Bellerophon to present the letters to his father-in-law with the hope that the king of Lycia would kill him.When he reached Lycia, the king entertained him for nine days. On the tenth day, Bellerophon presented him with the letters. After reading them, the king was furious and determined to send him to his death by commanding that he slay the Chimera. The Chimera was not a human being, but a goddess with the head of a lion and the tail of a serpent and the body of a goat. When the Chimera opened her mouth she breathed flames of fire. Before Bellerophon went into battle, a seer advised him to first capture Pegasus.
Pegasus was a horse-god, the son of Poseidon and the Medusa. According to the myth, when Perseus cut off the head of the Medusa, Pegasus was born out of her blood. Athena, goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, and justice, had captured Pegasus with a golden bridle and presented him to the Muses who put him in service to the poet. In order for Bellephoron to capture the winged horse, the seer advised him to make offerings to Athena and then to sleep in her temple. Bellerophon followed his advice and while he slept in the goddess's temple, she appeared to him in a dream. When he awoke, the golden bridle was on the floor beside him. Bellerophon took the bridle and waited at the well of Pirene. Pegasus arrived there at dusk, as was his custom, and knelt to drink. Bellerophon sprung out of hiding and after quickly bridling the horse's head, he leapt on his back. Pegasus attempted to throw the youth, but he could not. The two then flew off to Lycia to battle the chimera.
Afterward Pegasus completed his adventures on earth, Zeus placed him in his heavenly stables where he can be seen as a constellation to this day.

A: Here there is an answered question on splitting strings, using SUBSTRING and CHARINDEX in SSRS. You Get the indexes of 2 delimiters (e.g. "TO" and "CC"), and by applying SUBSTRING between these 2 delimiters you get the value that you wanted.
Also, the best practice would probably be splitting the data in the dataset (e.g. SQL query) itself, instead of doing so in the report itself.

Richard Tipper and the Perfection Limited team restore the Daytona's shine.
For a car that was last restored nearly thirty years ago the general condition of the Daytona is still rather good. The paint looks relatively fresh at events like Goodwood Breakfast Clubs, and it draws plenty of compliments. There's still plenty of room for improvement though, with the Interior and engine bay in particular need of attention. To ensure the Daytona looks its best for the summer season, I asked Richard Tipper of Perfection Limited (known as @perfectionvalet on Twitter) to give the Daytona a spring tidy-up.
Richard and his colleague Martin arrived on time last Saturday with their fully equipped Toyota van full of every kind of polish and potion necessary to clean any car. After a general inspection of the car and what was needed, work began under the bonnet to remove the dirt and a light film of engine oil that had built up. Once clean, the engine bay was polished to bring up a shine that makes the engine look as good as the day it left the factory in Maranello back in 1973.
Moving onto the rest of the car, attention was turned to the brightwork. The rear bumpers in particular suffer from the effects of their proximity to the exhausts, and the chrome has worn away in places. Even so, after a thorough clean and polish they shined up beautifully, especially the reversing lights mounted underneath the bumpers.
Inside the car the leather was cleaned and buffed up, and the carpets removed and jet washed. Richard was briefly foxed by the original mousehair covering on the dashboard - even though he has worked on a couple of Daytonas before, they had non-original leather-covered dashboards. The mousehair is an early form of Alcantara and it's very difficult to source the correct material today. Original though it is, it absorbs a lot of dirt, however, and after testing some non-visible areas it was determined a damp sponge would clean it up nicely..
What really makes the car pop are the little touches that a regular clean by me would easily miss. Richard spent some time cleaning out the exhaust tips, and even the inside of the cigarette lighter did not escape his attention.
After: stunning difference. Small details matter.
I was particularly impressed by Richard's work on the rear Ferrari badge. In order to clean it properly Richard removed the badge from the car, revealing a lot of dirt that had collected under the badge over the years. A thorough clean with cotton buds between the letters had the badge shined up a treat.
After around five hours of work (equating to ten man hours between the two of them), the difference was astonishing. What was already a great-looking car now looks truly stunning, and makes my own car cleaning efforts pale into insignificance. You can see more of the results in the gallery at the bottom of this article.
After Richard and Martin had finished I couldn't resist taking the car out for a short drive, ostensibly to make sure the brakes were properly dry but also just for fun. The journey was somewhat limited by not having much fuel in the car and the ridiculous recent panic buying of fuel in the UK making V-Power unleaded unavailable in the local petrol stations, but even over the few miles travelled the car subconsciously felt better for its clean up. I can't wait to get her back out on the road again.

Man accused of beating Uber driver unconscious with flashlight on Long Island
BELLMORE, Long Island (WABC) -- A man on Long Island is facing charges in connection with an attack that left an Uber driver unconscious.
It happened early Sunday morning in Bellmore.
Police say 23-year-old Phillip Gannotta, of North Bellmore, and two friends ordered an Uber car service to take them to Massapequa Park.
For some reason, the driver pulled over on Bedford Avenue just off Sunrise Highway. Police said that's when Gannotta unleashed on the driver, kicking out his rear passenger window and assaulting him with a flashlight. The driver suffered a fractured eye socket and was knocked unconscious.
Gannotta turned himself into police Sunday and was released on $5,000 bail Monday.
WEB EXTRA: Watch unedited video of Gannotta leaving the courthouse:

He had nothing to say to Eyewitness News. His attorney, George Caso, said he still is in the process of gathering information on the case, but said the Uber driver ran over his client's foot.
Gannotta is charged with assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal mischief.
The Uber driver was last listed in stable condition.

The quality manner to take in Peneda-Gerês Country wide Park, especially if you're a first-time traveler, is by using signing up with a group tour.
There are masses inside the region, but I selected to make the adventure with Oporto Adventure Excursions, which donates part of your tour fee to self-sustaining villages within the park.
Going with a guide additionally opens your go to to a wealth of history, the natural world, and fauna records, and rancid-the-overwhelmed direction trekking trails. but there are masses of other Motives to make this a stop for your Next experience to Portugal.
in case you're searching out a very proper experience—and a smash from trekking—in the National park, head to Ermida. This village is centuries antique and is fantastically untouched by using tourism.
Our particular tour covered a while with Iva, an eighty one-12 months-vintage girl who invited us into her kitchen and taught us the ropes of making traditional bread with flour, water, and salt.
That is where an excursion manual is available in handy—mountain climbing the rock formations that lead up to the park's waterfalls isn't always a solo task. The water is heat during the summer season months, but adventurous hikers can take a dip in the cooler months. In November, the water changed into best tolerable for a couple of minutes, however as they are saying: when in Rome Portugal.
The 2 waterfalls we visited had been without difficulty reachable, after a short hike. The first-rate element: no crowds.
The complete park is 271 square miles. To place that during some sort of angle, that is on the scale of 350,000 hockey rinks. While it is no longer the biggest Country wide park within the world through any way, you continue to felt quite secluded irrespective of wherein you are.
Particular outlooks will entice a handful of humans, but you're now not going to wait very long to have the whole vista to yourself for a few minutes.
There are numerous parts of this park that require a special allow to go into due to endangered vegetation and animals. This is a big part of why you might not find any large crowds on the hiking trails. a few tour courses are also ready with this unique permit, that means they are able to deliver you to those unique locations.
Ask approximately the 10 endangered bats You could see, the gray wolves, the 627 endangered vegetation species, and the Barrosão ox, amongst many others. And do not miss the Garrano ponies, which are not endangered, but are one of the park's Most well-known and oldest inhabitants.
Throughout our excursion, we took a ruin at Cafe Restaurante Fojo dos, Lobos. This Eating place has a deck vicinity with perspectives that belong on any bucket Listing.

International Tree Foundation (ITF) is an international, non-profit, non-political, conservation organisation. It is involved in planting, maintenance and protection of trees. It was founded in Kenya on 22 July 1922 by Richard St. Barbe Baker as Men of the Trees. It operates in several countries in Africa and in the United Kingdom. There have been chapters in over 100 countries. By some estimates, organizations he founded or assisted have been responsible for planting at least 26 billion trees, internationally.

History
ITF was founded in 1924 by Richard St. Barbe Baker. Following his work in Kenya creating Watu wa Mitu (People of the Trees) with Chief Josiah Njonjo, he returned to the United Kingdom with the goal of raising awareness about the benefits of reforestation around the world by creating the charity Men of the Trees. In 1929, a branch was opened in Palestine.

In 1992, Men of the Trees was renamed to the International Tree Foundation, and has continued to work around the world in local communities on a variety of projects centred around reforestation, environmental protection and community-building. In Australia there is currently still a small organization that goes by the name Men of the Trees, although in England, where the charity originated, the original charity has now been fully rebranded as the International Tree Foundation.

Ariel dorfman has been hailed as one of the "greatest living Latin American novelists" (Newsweek) and a "storyteller of almost mythic intensity" (The Financial Times). In his brilliant memoir, Heading South, Looking North, Dorfman explores the many exiles of a life torn, from age two, between the United States and Latin America, between revolution and repression. Interwoven with the remarkable story of how he switched languages and cultures--not once, but three times--is a day-by-day account of his multiple escapes from death during a military takeover in Chile. Dorfman filters these events through his dual and hybrid life, speaking, reading, thinking at times in Spanish, at times in English. Beautifully written and deeply moving, Heading South, Looking North is at once a vivid account of a life as complex and mysterious as the fictional characters Dorfman creates and an enthralling meditation about true personal conviction and courage in the late twentieth century.

Researching for possibly next February/March. We're used to all inclusive resorts and was wondering about the price of meals. I couldn't find any mention in the reviews. Also-does the resort arrange the golf cart rental that I've read about? Also is there a liquor store nearby that we could purchase beer for our room?
It sounds like you plan to make Lina Point your HQ in Belize. Getting around on San Pedro/Ambergris you will at least want a bike rental, or if you want to go to Secret Beach a golf cart. Those are available hourly or daily, or for several days. We rented a cart for one 24 hour day, used it for dinner one night then lunch the next. Hangin' at the hotel was our delight, however. There is a ferry to Caye Caulker or to Belize City, but not to other Cayes. The local folk may know private boats who would take you, but remember that most of the habitable cayes are privately owned. To get to San Ignacio you will have to rent a car from Belize City, or fly, or use a local bus. It is located in the mountains, not close to the coast. There are tour companies that offer day trips but I do not know the details. Try the tour company that Lina Point uses.
Hi which rooms have a stove and refrigerator?
I believe they all have a mini fridge. The over water bungalows may have a stove.
How far is the airport and how to you get here as far as transportation? Is a car rental necessary to go around and is it save? Are there any nearby restaurants and shopping market areas?
You will fly into Belize City. Once there you can take a 90 minute boat ride to San Pedro or a smaller plane which takes 20 minutes. San Pedro is all gas golf carts, so you can rent one while you are there. There are many places to shop and eat once you arrive in San Pedro. The Truck Stop was a very cool place.
do you take a hopper plane from belize city to lina point? if so, does the hotel arrange or me? if we want to do a day trip to jungle what needs to be done? is transportation provided?
To get to Lina Point from Belize City I would suggest taking the water taxi. I'm sure the resort can arrange transportation for you from the dock. All tours we looked at from there in to the jungle included all transportation.

Sonlight helps to connect the generations! My mom hold a degree in graphic arts design. She was thrilled to see our "Mark Kistler Draw Squad" book. The boys were thrilled to have their "grammy" teach them a few art lessons from the book. What a joy to share Sonlight with the extended generations in our family!
After having used Sonlight for Kindergarten through 12th grade, my son is a critical thinker and can have an intelligent conversation with anyone (even with others whose beliefs don't line up with his)," writes Barbara W of Red Oak, TX. "He knows what he believes and WHY! (Thank you Sonlight!) I'm thankful that my son used Sonlight's Understanding the Times curriculum in high school, and was able to learn and study different worldviews. We also used Sonlight's logic books, and he is very good at detecting baloney! Results? He received a full scholarship from a large university. Here, 19-yearold Dustin poses for a Senior picture. He's used Sonlight Cores A through 530 in his twelve years of Sonlight.
Sonlight came so highly recommended by others I almost thought it was too good to be true. But it has been worth every penny of our hard-awarded dollars for this frugal farm family and has blessed us beyond measure," writes Sarah W of Jamestown, ND, whose family has faced several crises recently. "These past two years have been so trying, but each day I had this overwhelming sense of relief as I opened my lesson plans and, of course, studying God's word is front and center, keeping us on track." Here, Charlotte (9) and Molly (7) soak up their learning in their favorite reading spot on their family's farm.

Classical Music Start-Up Kit
Volumes 1 and 2
Item #: MU20
This item ships for FREE via Media Mail (to the U.S. only). Details.
An incredibly affordable master class introduction to classical music for junior high school students and above. Superbly done.
The two-volume set includes 43 musical clips, the widest range of possibilities in 154 minutes. You won't find full symphonies, but you will get a snippet that will entice you to further listening later.
That is fairly satisfying, but the real magic is in the 40-page booklets that accompany each album. Written by Christopher Mohr, editor of On the Air magazine, the booklets introduce the composers and pieces, and describe what exactly is happening as you listen to the music – sometimes timed down to the second.
Each volume requires only two to three hours of listening and reading. Five hours total to have an overview of musical history; five hours to spark a new passion for "music with lasting value" (as the accompanying booklet defines "classical music").
Volume I begins with an introduction to the sounds of the orchestra: the woodwinds, the strings, the brass, and the percussion. Learn to distinguish the instruments.
Then, with that foundation, you read a quick overview of music up until the time of Christopher Columbus and Leonardo da Vinci, where we pick up the music of the Renaissance. This includes both the music of the church and the music of the people (folk music, like rounds). From there, music moves quickly into the more intellectual compositions of Corelli, Vivaldi, and Bach, and, a little later, into Handel, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven.
Music transformed dramatically in the years from 1500-1825, and it is a pleasure to hear how.
Volume II starts right in with the Romantic music, with piano music from Schubert, Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schumann, and Liszt (who memorably "collected princesses and countesses as other men collect rare butterflies," as the booklet quotes critic Ernest Newman).
Then there's a glorious overview of Berlioz's Symphonie Fantastique, "a work of morbid brilliance unlike any other in musical history." The power of the music, and the starkness of the notes combine to create a deeply moving experience.
From there, we move to the brilliance of nationalist music, beautiful works from composers like Sibelius, Dvorak, Tchaikovsky. Then two brilliant late Romantics, Brahms and Wagner, before moving on to the riches of the late 19th and early 20th Centuries.
This overview ends with Shostakovich and Bartok, around 1945.
Entertaining and informative. Come hear music that is "well-crafted, beautifully conceived, and full of a deep expression that can somehow transmit itself across the centuries."

IELTS speaking test Moga sept 2019
Part One – Introduction
[The examiner asks the candidate about him/herself, his/her home, work or studies and other familiar topics.]
Bicycles:
Q. How popular are bicycles in your hometown? [Why?]
A. If I talk about the time when I was a child, the bicycle was the primary mean of travelling for people in my hometown. However, this is not the case and motorised vehicles have replaced the bicycle. Around 5-8 percentage of people, these days in my hometown use this environment-friendly vehicle while it was more than 80% in the past.
Q. How often do you ride a bicycle? [Why/Why not?]
A. Honestly speaking, these days I scarcely ride a bicycle and mostly use my car. I used to be very fond of riding a bicycle in my teenage, but after I started working in a different city, I had been forced to buy a car.
Q. Do you think that bicycles are suitable for all ages? [Why/Why not?]
A. Yes, this is a suitable vehicle for all ages. The physical activity that a cyclist does is beneficial for his/her health and this is perhaps the most environmental-friendly ride in the world. There is no age restriction for commuting using a bicycle, I believe.
Q. What are the advantages of a bicycle compared to a car? [Why?]
A. Well, first of all, a bicycle is eco-friendly and does not harm the environment the way motorised vehicles do. Furthermore, it is cheap and does not require a high maintenance cost per month. Moreover, bicycle riding involves physical movement and it helps us maintain good health. Finally, this type of transport does not cause much traffic congestion, unlike motor cars.
Part 2 – Cue Card
[The topic for your talk will be written on a card which the examiner will hand you. Read it carefully and then make some brief notes.]
Describe a person who has done a lot of work to help people.
who this person is/was
where this person lives/lived
what he/she has done to help people
and explain how you know about this person.
[ You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish.]
[Examiner: All right? Remember you have one to two minutes for this, so don't worry if I stop you. I'll tell you when the time is up. Can you start speaking now, please?]
This is an interesting topic. Many people help others as part of their professional role – perhaps giving advice, teaching students or providing medical treatment. Of course, all of these things are incredibly important, impressive and of course helpful. And today, I'll tell you about a person I know about who I believe has helped a lot of people.
So the person is known locally as The Mohican Runner, he lives in my home city of Sheffield. To be quite honest, when I first spotted him it was simply because he has a very distinctive look. He is quite lean and athletic and a talented runner, so a fast and furious participant in many local races. However, what makes him stand out is that he has a well sculptured Mohican haircut. It's a punk style where the sides of his head are shaved, and then he has a distinctive central strip of long hair down the middle.
His arms are heavily inked with various geometric designs, other shapes are marked on his shaved head and legs. If you just saw him, it is possible that you might feel quite intimidated by him at first glance, but once you know his story you will realise you shouldn't be. Rather you should approach him and congratulate him and shake him by the hand.
Because The Mohican Runner runs and lives locally, I saw him around a lot. He, like me, is a regular attendee at my local Saturday morning 5 km parkrun. (Though unlike me he always finishes near the front!) About a year ago, I found out that he was setting himself some running challenges to raise money for some children's charities. This caught my attention. Not content with seeking sponsorship for doing a single event, The Mohican Runner set himself the challenge of running a half-marathon every month for 13 months, the following year it was to run a race every weekend for a year. The challenges are in themselves impressive, but also not the point. It turns out that what drove this fundraising addiction was his own personal experience. He was himself the victim of really horrific physical child abuse when he was growing up. He was isolated, bullied and vulnerable. He was only able to escape his situation when certain charities got involved and intervened and he was then removed from his family. His story was so extreme it was used as the basis of a UK-wide funding appeal for a national charity.
His fundraising achievements are extraordinary, his story and efforts have raised somewhere around £1.3 million, which is an amazing sum of money. However, I believe it isn't just that he has helped people through fundraising. I believe by being courageous enough to tell his story he reminds everyone of how important it is to be alert to the often hidden problem of child abuse. I think what he does is helpful beyond measure because even without the fundraising, he is giving a voice to a section of society that is often completely powerless and without a voice to represent them at all. There are few things more powerful than hearing someone talk from personal experience. I think it must take extraordinary courage to tell and retell a painful story that I'm sure you would much prefer to be able to forget.
So to conclude, I think the Mohican Runner has done an enormous amount to help people, in particular children who are victims of physical and sexual abuse who perhaps we would rather pretend weren't there because their plight is hidden and it seems so impossible to comprehend and hard to help. He has helped by raising money; he has helped by making his own story public and he has helped by being a role model. He should be recognised for what he has done for others. If you ever come to Sheffield do look out for him, you'll spot him sooner or later I'm sure, he's hard to miss, and he's seemingly 'always' out and about, clocking up the miles, putting in the training and powering on for his favoured charities.
After being matured I came to know about lots of people who spent their entire life for humanity. Among them, the contributions of Mother Teresa undoubtedly are more than any other one.
In her life, Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic nun and missionary. She had spent her entire life to care for the poor and destitute. She passed a notable part of her life in India and was moved by the pathetic condition of the people living in streets. So, she established some of the shelter homes for them in different parts of India. She is also the founder of Missionaries of Charity, and this is a Roman Catholic religious group that helps the people in distress with all sorts of facilities including the arrangement of their medical treatment, rehabilitation etc. for free of cost.
Mother Teresa was born on August 26 in 1910 in Skopje which is now the capital of the Republic of Macedonia. She was named as Agnes which resembled the little flower. Her father was a politician and she was the youngest of all the children. Her parents had met from two separate villages. Unfortunately, she lost her father at the age of eight. In her early childhood, she preferred to listen to stories of missionaries, their activities to remove grief of the people in different parts of the world. When she turned 12, she decided to devote her life to the humankind and when she was 18, she left home to join Sisters of Loreto. She had never met her family members again in her life after she left the home.
Mother Teresa did a lot of humanitarian works in her life. She learnt different languages to communicate directly with people in the Indian sub-continent. She played the role of a teacher in schools to teach students about numerous issues. She turned into a nun in 1931, and selected a name which she had to alter the spelling for another nun had the same name with the same spelling. She served for around 20 years at Loreto convent school in Calcutta. But the poorness, ill conditions and deaths of the poor people disturbed her seriously. So, she planned to help the distressed. Accordingly, she arranged for opening some shelters in Calcutta to help them. Nirmal Hriday is one of her shelters where the poverty-stricken, ill-fated people can have their treatments for some specific diseases and it is for free.
She is a motherly figure in the world and has been admired even after her death. She is mostly famous for her charitable works and Missionaries of Charities which comes in helping of the destitute across the world. In her lifetime, she was awarded numerous prizes and in 1979 she won the Noble Prize in Peace. But some of her activities were under criticism like the hospitals she ran received a huge amount of donations but on the contrary, the service quality did not improve at all and there were shortages of medical care. Her life has been the subject of literature, documentaries and films. She has been portrayed as an affectionate character who served the humanity with great care and love. She really was an admirable woman of the world.
Part 3 – Two-way Discussion:
Helping other people in the community:
Q. What are some of the ways people can help others in the community? Which is most important?
A. I believe "being friendly and having a helpful mentality" is something every community member expects from others. An ideal community member should stand beside other members when needed and abide by the rules. Sometimes, people in a community face obstacles and natural calamities and a good member would always extend his/her helping hands for others. Being part of activities like cleaning the streets, charity programmes, voluntary works is another great way to show support for the community.
I believe abiding by the rules and having respects towards other community members are the most important qualities.
Q. Why do you think some people like to help other people?
A. I think this is in their DNA; I mean some people are helpful from their childhood and they keep helping others throughout their life. Apart from that, people sometimes become philanthropic from their life experience and vow to help others in whatever way possible. These are good people who set examples for others.
Q. Some people say that people help others in the community more now than they did in the past. Do you agree or disagree? Why?
A. I do believe the sense of community is stronger among people these days than it was in the past. By saying so, I do not imply that people in the past were less helpful, but the concept of community has grown stronger and people meet others, discuss personal issues with community members more openly these days and as a result, the relationship of people has become stronger.
Community Services:
Q. What types of services, such as libraries or health centres, are available to the people who live in your area? Do you think there are enough of them?
A. Well, the community I come from has numerous facilities for its members. We have two large public libraries, one free medical checkup centre, three sports centres, a fair-price shop, cleaning service, complaint board, evening school and many such mentionable good services including the necessary community amenities like a playground, park, convention hall and so on.
I believe those facilities need more expansion as the number of community members has increased significantly these days than in the past.
Q. Which groups of people generally need the most support in a community? Why?
A. People who are economically less fortunate need more community services. Besides, elder people, women and children often need various supports from the community they live in.
I believe people with less per capita income often find their life challenging and cannot support important things in their life. For instance, some people near my town cannot afford warm dresses during the winter and they need help from other community members. Children and women are often subject to domestic violence or discrimination and they need to turn to the community for help. Elder people need companions, caregivers and some facilities for them and they need support from the community as well.
Q. Who do you think should pay for the services that are available to the people in a community? Should it be the government or individual people?
A. I think community members should bear the maximum ratio of the expenses as it is almost impossible for the government to provide the fund for each community for everything they need. However, the government must contribute to good causes and community services for the overall benefits of less fortunate members of a community. For instance, a government can allocate budget to run evening schools and free medical centres and this can be a great way to show support for the citizens.

HomeSportsSports CommentaryFootball Facing Lots of Obstacles
Football Facing Lots of Obstacles
June 18, 2020 Ron Wynn Sports Commentary Comments Off on Football Facing Lots of Obstacles
Both the NFL and the NCAA have been operating publicly throughout the cornonavirus/COVID-19 as though they feel their seasons will be able to proceed on schedule. The NFL has twice held big splashy events in the draft and the announcement of the schedule, while some colleges are now allowing athletes to return for on-campus workouts. But a lot of very basic questions remain, and the biggest of all hasn't even been addressed by either entity. It was raised once more last week on the air by ESPN sports commentator and co-host of "Pardon The Interruption" Tony Kornheiser in very straight-forward fashion. He said he couldn't possibly see how you could have either pro or college football this season.
"Football is a contact sport," Kornheiser said. "How do you have social distancing in a sport where people are constantly in contact with each other?" To my recollection, no one has yet addressed this reality in all the volumes of speeches and statements made by NFL and NCAA spokespersons. If it's not safe to have spectators in the stands, which evidently is going to be the case, how much sense does it make to have athletes constantly hitting and tackling each other? How can you minimize the threat of infection if it's true that keeping your distance is the best to prevent it? Unless the NFL and NCAA plan to change their rules and go to either a touch or flag format, every play the risk of someone infecting someone else would seem awfully high.
Already the specter of problems with protocols for training camp has been raised. Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said last week that the restrictions the NFL is applying to players returning to team facilities are "humanely impossible." These include everyone wearing masks indoors, screening for players and team personnel to determine whether they've had or are having symptoms and restructuring locker rooms to keep players six feet apart. Other restrictions include virtually conducting any meetings with 20 or more participants unless you can establish social distancing, and holding in-person meetings outdoors.
Keep in mind these are just rules for letting players back into the facilities. Harbaugh added that while the team was going to do everything possible to adhere to the rules, "We have to be able to communicate with each other in person. We have to practice."
Later Harbaugh added "I'm pretty sure the huddle is not going to be six-feet spaced. Are guys to shower one at a time all day? Are guys going to lift weights one at a time all day? These are things the league and the (players association) needs to get a handle on and needs to get agreed with some common sense so we can operate in a 13-hour day in training camp that they're giving us and get our work done." These are just things that are being discussed regarding pre-season.
No one has yet said what happens if a player gets the virus during a game, nor how rigorous will testing be during the week leading up to one. Also, what about the officials? How will be they be monitored? It's already assumed that broadcast and print media won't be allowed anywhere near the access they are used to getting, but what exactly will be standard protocol in that regard? It's interesting that with training camps supposed to start next month and pre-season games in August, there remains such widespread uncertainty, and that's just in the NFL.
Things are even less settled among the colleges, where some Power 5 conferences are proceeding full speed ahead and others have schools who aren't even allowing on-campus classes to start in the fall. All types of scenarios are being suggested, from having some teams only playing eight-game schedules to eliminating all non conference and traveling rivalry games. Colleges are already facing major fiscal problems with the reality of no fan attendance being allowed certain to have a huge impact on game day income. If games are also lost, the hit that some schools, particularly the FBS and smaller ones' athletics budgets will take would be devastating.
With medical experts saying a vaccine is at minimum about six to nine months away and possibly longer, there don't seem to be any easy solutions available in regards to the 2020 pro and college football seasons. Setting aside the fact it's not even a sure thing they are going to happen, whether they can or not, and whether they should or not pose lots of difficult questions that must be resolved in the days ahead.

Young Sacajawea has been asked to join Lewis and Clark in their exploration of the American West As a translator, peacemaker, caretaker, and guide, Sacajawea alone will make the historic journey of Lewis and Clark possible This captivating novel, which is told in alternating points of view by Sacajawea herself and by William Clark provides an intimate glimpse intoYoung Sacajawea has been asked to join Lewis and Clark in their exploration of the American West As a translator, peacemaker, caretaker, and guide, Sacajawea alone will make the historic journey of Lewis and Clark possible This captivating novel, which is told in alternating points of view by Sacajawea herself and by William Clark provides an intimate glimpse into what it would have been like to witness firsthand this fascinating time in our history.
I really, really wanted to like this more, but given the constant switching of perspectives and the author's writing style, this book provided a lot of well-documented information in the form of fiction, but not much else. Maybe if I'd read it as a child I would have like it more.
Beautiful, beautiful writing from J. Bruchac, as always. Sacajawea's story is told from alternating viewpoints, hers as well as William Clark's. Actual correspondence or diary entries introduce Clarks entries and tribal tales introduce Sacajawea's entries. The storyline is easy to follow as it is being told to Pomp, Sacajawea's son by her husband who was also on the journey.Fans of historical and/or American Indian fiction will enjoy this story.
This detailed biography is told in a way that really shows Sacajawea's role in the expedition. Even though I was taught that she carried her baby along the way, I never understood the implications of that reality. After reading this, I now recognize that I was definitely taught the "white" history of this story, which left out a lot of important information.
Well, this audio book was so-so. The narrator doing Sacajawea's part was highly annoying. I did enjoy learning more about her part in the Lewis and Clark expedition, so it was worthwhile in the end.
First book I read in preparation for an upcoming trip on the Lewis and Clark trail. I enjoyed the storytelling style. Great introduction to an interesting woman.
Very good historical book prior to my visit to the Northwest Territory.
This feels like something you might be forced to read in an American History class. The writing was clinical and gives the illusion of vavacity, but its cold and lifeless. The themes and character motivations really bothered me in this - Sacajawea is essential a kidnap victim but that fact is completely glossed over. No Native in this entire story has any qualms about what Lewis and Clark were doing. There was a very "give-us-your-whiskey-and-smallpox-infested-blankets" feel.
This book was really good and I really enjoyed this book. I would recommend this book to all of my peers and friends if they want a good non-fiction book and adventurous.
I'd never even contemplated American history before (very snobbish of me) and although I'm still very new to the history of America, it's something I'm really enjoying and would like to devote more time to. I loved this story (because story it ultimately is) but the history behind it is fascinating and tragic and shrouded in so much mystery it makes me want to know more about the native Americans and their place in American history.
Sacajawea by Joseph Bruchac is a fictionalized account of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. This story is told from the points of view of Sacajawea and William Clark. Bruchac includes excerpts from Lewis and Clark's actual diaries. Overall, I believe that this is a great historical fiction book which allows the young readers to explore the adventures of Lewis and Clark and their encounter with Sacajawea.
Very well written and informative story. Loved the Sacajawea chapters the best. The chapters alternate between she and Captain William Clark's story of their historic trip together they are telling it to Sacajawea's young son. I have read many stories of Sacajawea, this is one of my favorites.
Amazing! I absolutely loved this book. It is an easy read and a great starting point for a study of Western Expansion. I followed it up with National Geographic's 60-minute Lewis and Clark documentary which provided vivid reenactments of some of the most thrilling experiences on their journey. This is one if the greatest adventure stories ever told!


The gospel (Lk 9:46-50) finds the disciples arguing amongst themselves about who is the greatest. Jesus, in response, takes a child and tells them that he who receives the child in Jesus' name receives Him and in turn the Father. He follows with the line above. John then tells Jesus how he and his comrades tried to stop an exorcist because he was unknown to them. Jesus tells John to let the man be, because he is for their cause and thus cannot be against it. Jesus never tires of talking about the importance of humility. And He demonstrates it in every breath He takes. God becomes His creature, eventually being tortured and killed by them for them. The Master became the servant of all. To this day, Jesus' humility is on display at every Mass and in every tabernacle in the world. There are times when we might be tempted to say: "If I had the power, I would do" x, y and z to fix things. Well, Jesus had the power. He was even tempted by the devil himself to use it. Yet, He "Who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross" (Phil 2:6-8). We are not equal to God, but we are called to emulate Him. Jesus is the perfect exemplar. We are to make His disposition our own. As creatures we have no reason to exalt ourselves. Yet we find true humility difficult. Let us pray for the gift of a meek and humble heart, emulating our Lord and Savior (Mt 11:29).


Residents can expect a rainy weekend with rainfall up to 8 inches in some parts of Guam, the National Weather Service stated in an advisory.
Residents can expect a rainy weekend with rainfall up to 8 inches in some parts of Guam, the National Weather Service stated in an advisory issued Friday morning.
Tropical Depression 28W, which is northwest of Guam, could bring 4 to 8 inches of rain over the weekend.
The depression is moving slowly away from the Marianas, but it's developing over the area and is causing gusty winds. Saipan will see gusts of up to 40 mph, the Weather Service said in a 11 a.m. Facebook post.
Heavy rain was falling over Rota, and heavy rain is possible for nearby islands, the Facebook post said.
The Astumbo Gym shelter will be open through the weekend for the 32 remaining families taking shelter after Typhoon Mangkhut damaged their homes. Their homes are likely to be soaked with the new weather system, Dededo Mayor Melissa Savares said.
"The tarps that the Red Cross gave them probably won't hold through the rain, so it's better that they shelter in place here," she said Friday. A sign posted at the shelter earlier this week said it would close this week Wednesday, but the mayor had extended its closing for a few days.
Earlier this week, the Weather Service forecast up to 20 inches of rain over the weekend, but expected rainfall has since been reduced as the tropical depression makes it way from the area, meteorologist Mike Ziobro said Friday.
A rain band in the east could still bring inches of rain that will cause flooding since the ground is still saturated from Typhoon Mangkhut, he said.
Most of the rain this weekend will be runoff and add to flooding problems, a flash flood advisory states.
The flash flood advisory runs through late Sunday night.
Poor drainage areas could see closed roads and even water in some houses. Residents are advised to avoid mountainous areas where flash floods could be more intense, the advisory states.
"Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation. You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action," the advisory states.
The Offices of Guam Homeland Security and Civil Defense advise residents to take action.
South to southwest winds of 19 to 29 mph with gusts to 34 mph over the eastern waters of Guam and Rota will gradually spread westward.
Combined seas of 6 to 9 feet will occasionally reach 10 feet across the Marianas.
Homeland Security reminds the community to stay up to date with the latest information, especially through the weekend. Practice extreme caution if traveling in heavy rains and avoid the seas until hazardous conditions subside.

Q: How to copy a table from one database to another in Oracle I am using Oracle as my database.
I have a QA environment (QA_1) and now I just finished creating another new QA environment (QA_2). However, I have to copy some data from QA_1 table to QA_2.
How do I copy from one database table to another? So something similar to the following syntax:
INSERT INTO QA_2.app_prop (prop_id, prop_name, prop_value)
SELECT prop_id, prop_name, prop_value FROM QA_1.app_prop WHERE prop_id IN
(SELECT prop_id FROM app_env WHERE function = 'CCC');

My user connection to QA_1 is:
host name: uat-blah.foo.foo.com
port: 2501
servicename: uat

I have looked around google and here on stackoverflow and I couldn't find any syntax that does what I am looking for.
I have tried the syntax for SQL plus
COPY FROM username/password@connectionstring-
TO username/password@connectionstring -

but to no avail.

A:
The COPY command will be obsoleted in future releases of SQL*Plus. SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference-Release 9.2

There are several methods like using datapump or CTAS. You can also use Database Link.
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK dblink_QA_1
CONNECT TO QA_1_app_prop_SCHEMA
IDENTIFIED BY password
USING '(DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = uat-blah.foo.foo.com)(PORT = 2501)) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = uat)))';

And change your insert statement to-
SQL> INSERT INTO QA_2.app_prop (prop_id, prop_name, prop_value)
SELECT prop_id, prop_name, prop_value FROM QA_1.app_prop@dblink_QA_1 WHERE prop_id IN
(SELECT prop_id FROM app_env@dblink_QA_1 WHERE function = 'CCC');

Remember that biblical art, as a visual representation of the Bible, is not always rated "G." The Bible is not a children's story, so some biblical art contains nudity or bloody depictions of violence. Not all things in the Bible are beautiful and calming; many times biblical stories are full of distortion and dissonance. As such, biblical artwork will tell the full Story of God that includes creation, fall, and redemption, with each of its harsh realities. As in all of life, the believer is called to be discerning.

"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labor for that which does not satisfy? Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and a nation that did not know you shall run to you, because of the Lord your God, and of the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you. ...

And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." Then I looked, and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" ...

I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.
19 designers and 31 writers invested their energy and creativity to this collection, each riffing on the timeless, inspired words of Scripture. Each designer worked hard to capture the essence of each verse in its historical and cultural context, and to design in a way that makes clear the way in which the original readers would have understood it. Then, after each design was complete, a writer reflected on each piece of art and the verse that inspired it. The result is 100 pairs of art and devotional that illuminate the words of Scripture.

To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of Asaph. A Song. In Judah God is known; his name is great in Israel. His abode has been established in Salem, his dwelling place in Zion. There he broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, and the weapons of war. Selah Glorious are you, more majestic than the mountains of prey. The stouthearted were stripped of their spoil; they sank into sleep; all the men of war were unable to use their hands. ...

The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will let you hear my words." So I went down to the potter's house, and there he was working at his wheel. And the vessel he was making of clay was spoiled in the potter's hand, and he reworked it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do. Then the word of the Lord came to me: ...

King Solomon was king over all Israel, and these were his high officials: Azariah the son of Zadok was the priest; Elihoreph and Ahijah the sons of Shisha were secretaries; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder; Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was in command of the army; Zadok and Abiathar were priests; Azariah the son of Nathan was over the officers; Zabud the son of Nathan was priest and king's friend; ...

He also made two capitals of molten bronze to set on the tops of the pillars; the height of the one capital was five cubits and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were nets of network and twisted threads of chainwork for the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; seven for the one capital and seven for the other capital. So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital. The capitals which were on the top of the pillars in the porch were of lily design, four cubits. There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals. Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz. On the top of the pillars was lily design. So the work of the pillars was finished. Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference. Under its brim gourds went around encircling it ten to a cubit, completely surrounding the sea; the gourds were in two rows, cast with the rest. It stood on twelve oxen, three facing north, three facing west, three facing south, and three facing east; and the sea was set on top of them, and all their rear parts turned inward. It was a handbreadth thick, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, as a lily blossom; it could hold two thousand baths. Then he made the ten stands of bronze; the length of each stand was four cubits and its width four cubits and its height three cubits. This was the design of the stands: they had borders, even borders between the frames, and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work. Now each stand had four bronze wheels with bronze axles, and its four feet had supports; beneath the basin were cast supports with wreaths at each side. Its opening inside the crown at the top was a cubit, and its opening was round like the design of a pedestal, a cubit and a half; and also on its opening there were engravings, and their borders were square, not round. The four wheels were underneath the borders, and the axles of the wheels were on the stand. And the height of a wheel was a cubit and a half. The workmanship of the wheels was like the workmanship of a chariot wheel. Their axles, their rims, their spokes, and their hubs were all cast. Now there were four supports at the four corners of each stand; its supports were part of the stand itself. On the top of the stand there was a circular form half a cubit high, and on the top of the stand its stays and its borders were part of it. He engraved on the plates of its stays and on its borders, cherubim, lions and palm trees, according to the clear space on each, with wreaths all around. He made the ten stands like this: all of them had one casting, one measure and one form. He made ten basins of bronze, one basin held forty baths; each basin was four cubits, and on each of the ten stands was one basin. Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south. Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD: the two pillars and the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the two pillars, and the two networks to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the top of the pillars; and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars; and the ten stands with the ten basins on the stands; and the one sea and the twelve oxen under the sea; and the pails and the shovels and the bowls; even all these utensils which Hiram made for King Solomon in the house of the LORD were of polished bronze. In the plain of the Jordan the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zarethan. Solomon left all the utensils unweighed, because they were too many; the weight of the bronze could not be ascertained. Solomon made all the furniture which was in the house of the LORD: the golden altar and the golden table on which was the bread of the Presence; and the lampstands, five on the right side and five on the left, in front of the inner sanctuary, of pure gold; and the flowers and the lamps and the tongs, of gold; and the cups and the snuffers and the bowls and the spoons and the firepans, of pure gold; and the hinges both for the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and for the doors of the house, that is, of the nave, of gold. Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

Jacob lived in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan. These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of Bilhah and Zilpah, his father's wives. And Joseph brought a bad report of them to their father. Now Israel loved Joseph more than any other of his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a robe of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peacefully to him. Now Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers they hated him even more. ...
And King Solomon sent and brought Hiram from Tyre. He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze. And he was full of wisdom, understanding, and skill for making any work in bronze. He came to King Solomon and did all his work. He cast two pillars of bronze. Eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured its circumference. It was hollow, and its thickness was four fingers. The second pillar was the same. He also made two capitals of cast bronze to set on the tops of the pillars. The height of the one capital was five cubits, and the height of the other capital was five cubits. There were lattices of checker work with wreaths of chain work for the capitals on the tops of the pillars, a lattice for the one capital and a lattice for the other capital. ...

This Summer's Top 5 Paperbacks
Hana Hausmeister
It's summer. Nature is telling your brain to relax, to step away from the heavy reading and sink into something fun, easy, and maybe a little mischievous, while you lounge around on the beachside. Especially for the occasion there are an exciting selection of new paperbacks – summer's solution to those clunky first editions, for you to take along… just about anywhere! Here are some of the top choices this season.
How to Leave Twitter: My Time as Queen of the Universe and Why This Must Stop – Grace Dent
Some will recognise Grace Dent from her column in Marie Claire, always writing positively, always a laugh to read. Her new book is not a novel so much as a witty reaction to the trends of modern pop culture. This is a topical, expositional commentary, and from what we already know of the author, we can expect a good deal of humour. Narration is key, and Dent has got the flair, sophistication and the truthfulness common to most good columnists, which makes her writing so refreshing to read.
…his ability to transport his readers at the turn of a page is unique and engaging.
Sex on the Moon – Ben Mezrich
Sometimes the most sensational novels are inspired by true stories. In 2002, a promising NASA recruit stole the rarest rocks on earth from right under NASA's all-seeing watch, only to later present them to a girl. Immortalising the heist is the man who brought us Bringing Down the House (the story behind 21) and The Accidental Billionaires (the story behind The Social Network). Famous for his narrative genius, Mezrich has an eye for spotting, arranging and amplifying the excitement from every angle, paying such close attention to detail that you won't believe you're reading nonfiction. Keep an eye out for this one.
Mini Shopaholic – Sophie Kinsella
For you devoted fans of the "Shopaholic" series, you'll probably have already read the next instalment. For those unfamiliar with the books, it's time to make a change. Yes, they are typically chick-lit, the sceptical reader might complain, but in this genre Sophie Kinsella is a rare gem. Following the life of ditzy, relatable Rebecca Brandon (née Bloomwood) – a narrator on par with Bridget Jones – the author weaves a touching account of a girl's life and the rites of passage that every woman, at some point, must undergo. In this latest novel, the heroine faces the challenges and rewards of motherhood, an experience promising to be tender, humorous and rewarding for Becky and her readers alike.
…a culturally colourful romp, sparing no sense of macabre.
The Postcard Killers – James Patterson
If you have a strong stomach, and you're looking for an engrossing page-turner, chances are you'll already be anticipating the latest novel from James Patterson. Fans of crime fiction know what to expect when they read the no. 1 crime writer, but for those of you new to the genre, this standalone novel is an ideal start. Patterson has teamed up with award-winning, Swedish crime writer Liza Marklund to write a culturally colourful romp, sparing no sense of macabre. Think Angels and Demons but more perverse and more travelled – it'll read like a step-by-step terror tour through the famous sites of Europe.
The Storyteller of Marrakesh – Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya
An old man from Marrakesh begins to narrate a story, standing in a busy city square, his lips move like book leaves. "It is a love story," he says, "like all the best stories, but it is also a mystery". This latest novel from acclaimed author Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya, The Storyteller of Marrakesh centres on the tragic disappearance of two young lovers. Roy-Bhattacharya evokes the exotic East with the simplest prose and nostalgic tones; his ability to transport his readers at the turn of a page is unique and engaging. Coming from a philosophical background, this book might demand a little more than the others, but, like most literary classics, it will give back as good as it gets.

The Brickworks Project is a major initiative by the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild (www.sjiagguild.com) to re-purpose an historic property in the heart of Friday Harbor, San Juan Island, Washington. Situated at 150 Nichols Street in Friday Harbor and taking its name from its original role, the project most prominently includes the restoration of the original building and its re-purposing, along with an outdoor plaza, green space and stage, to provide a community gathering place for a variety of local food-based, educational and cultural activities and events. Proceeds benefit the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild's programs to foster a vibrant, resilient and sustainable food system in San Juan County, a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit.
The addition of a commercially certified Community Kitchen has further enhanced what Brickworks has to offer. This addition has made the facility even more suitable for holding lunches, dinners and wedding rehearsals. These uses complement its important potential as a standalone rental facility for start-up chefs, food vendors and caterers, thus serving its additional role as a food business incubator. A reduced rate for the kitchen use is offered to members of Island Grown in the San Juans.
Brickworks now provides venue space for farmers, food purveyors, entertainers and craftspeople as well as consumers – both residents and visitors – with a year-round central facility in the heart of Friday Harbor. In 2017, the Ag Guild provided over $9,000 in reduced or free Brickworks venue rentals for non-profit community events.


Making economic, financial, logistic and personnel management efficient plays a central role in healthcare organizations today. We know this well, because, for over twenty years, we have been supporting most of the ASLs (local health authorities), hospitals and Regions in this area. Actually, about 60% of all Italian public health payrolls are processed through Engineering.
SISaR ("Integrated Regional Health Information System") is a one of a kind experience for Italy, insofar as Sardinia is the only Region to have implemented a single integrated IT system for the governance of all healthcare processes: directional, administrative and all those relating to healthcare. This project involved not only the Region, but also 8 territorial organizations, 3 hospitals and the health emergency service.
The entire system was created with our organizational and technological contribution using the modules of the AREAS® healthcare platform, which allowed us to innovate and harmonize all the management and care processes serving over 1.5 million people.
The interventions on the accounting, financial and logistics management front, as well as on the HR front (attendance monitoring, payroll calculation, training and organization), were among the most challenging aspects of the entire project. The complexity lies not only in the annual volumes handled (1.6 million accounting documents, over 300 thousand payrolls, 180 warehouses) but also in the important changes that have taken place over the years: organizational mergers, harmonization of procedures, new regulatory requirements, and so on.
