Somerset falls to Punxy in OT heartbreaker
SEAN WECHTENHISER Daily American Correspondent
WINDBER — Somerset and Punxsutawney ran up and down the field Tuesday in the first round of the PIAA Class AA boys soccer playoffs.
The teams traded chances all night, but could not find the back of the net. The Chucks won it in overtime on a shot by Vincent Gigliotti, earning a 1-0 victory over the Golden Eagles.
The first half was a back and forth affair. The Chucks had the better of the play, but both teams missed on scoring opportunities.
Gigliotti had an early scoring chance off a Punxsutawney throw in. He got control of the ball and launched a shot, but his kick sailed over the crossbar. Andrew Wehrle sailed another shot a few minutes later. The Chucks stole the ball and had a run out. Wherle ripped a shot from inside the box, but it went over the crossbar.
One of Somerset's best chances came midway through the half. Isaac Hoyman had a shot on goal but his shot sailed wide left.
Ian Lasure made a strong play in net later for Somerset. Punxsutawney had a corner kick, and a scramble ensued in front of the net. The ball popped loose, but Lasure dove out to cover the ball just before a Chuck player got to it. Despite the chances for both teams, the score was tied 0-0 at the half.
The chances continued in the second half, but both teams still couldn't find the back of the net. Somerset had an early chance in the box in front of the net. A Golden Eagles player fired a shot out of the scramble, but the blast was wide of the net.
Punxsutawney looked like they would score at the 29:40 mark. Ben Gigliotti broke open behind the Somerset defense. Lasure came out and slid toward Ben Gigliotti to contest the shot. Lasure's slide forced the shot to go wide of the net, but he was injured on the play. He went to the bench for a few minutes, but returned to the game.
Both teams continued to trade chances in the second half. Somerset had a flurry of opportunities midway through the second half. The Golden Eagles had a series of corner kicks, but could not get a clean shot on goal.
The Chucks took control late in the game. Lasure made the save of the game with 5:02 left in the game. Punxsutawney's Zach Reitz got control of the ball in the box and hammered a shot to the bottom right corner of the net. However, Lasure moved across and made the save to keep the game scoreless.
The Chucks had two other opportunities late. Ben Gigliotti crossed the ball in front of the net, but no one was there. With under a minute left, Garrett Eddy launched a shot from outside the box, but it sailed just over the crossbar, sending the game to overtime.
After all of the scoring chances, including many in the box, the game ended on a long shot by Vincent Gigliotti. He took a pass from Ethan Watt near the top left corner of the box. He found the top right corner of the net, beating Lasure for the game winning goal.
The Golden Eagles, who won the District 5 AA title, end the season with a 17-4 record.

It just took a year and a fifty percent for a mobile application to obtain numerous individuals's interest; and among them was a really focal follower called Mark Zuckerberg. The well-known mobile application's name is Instagram, which wased established by 2 20-something-year-old grads from Stanford College, Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger.
This remarkable application made a great deal of sound early in April 2012 when the firm's worth was increased and acquired by a just as famous firm, Facebook. The price on instagram deserved $1 Billion.
It was Systrom that originally developed the idea for the application and in a similar way holds a 45 percent picket in the company. Today, one inquiry has been having fun with the minds of many individuals: How did this one much-like-the-other-mobile-apps stand apart from amongst the remainder, and how did it record the authorization of lots of individuals that fast?

Q: How to install an application locally? Is it possible to install an application locally?
For example, if I create a custom application how can I make it available to my colleagues at work without having to upload my application to an app store?

A: Since this is marked as 'Microsoft Teams' I will answer it as such:
Custom apps in MS Teams are not published to the App Store.  Apps in MS Teams (as generally understood) are not generally freestanding apps either, like win32 apps.
Custom MS Teams Apps are published and authorized via the MS Teams Admin center.  EDIT: this is your O365 Tenant's Teams Admin Center - always.  Microsoft has no centralized location for evaluating custom apps, unlike the Windows App Store.  Also, there is no stand-alone app like you describe (and as I interpret your question).  Although you could integrate the API calls needed to interact with MS Teams into a freestanding app, the tightest integration between the MS Teams service and custom apps - i.e.: the quickest path to awesome - is described below.
Apps for teams are developed using the SharePoint Framework (spfx).  All the apps are surfaced from within the MS Teams desktop or mobile app (after approval of the custom app in the MS Teams Admin center).
The SharePoint framework is built on TypeScript, which is a type-safe, syntactical superset of Javascript.
Modern SharePoint web parts, application extensions, list & library command sets, etc. are all built upon the SharePoint Framework.
Most importantly, you can use other TypeScript-based framework(s) / libraries within your projects, e.g.: React, Angular, Handlebars, Vue - and even plain-old vanilla JavaScript.  This allows you to leverage any existing familiarity with these frameworks' conventions.

With the weather improving, construction work starts this week to upgrade the playground at Fox Park.
The new playground will provide additional play and social gathering opportunities for children and families living in the area.
The park is being upgraded as the existing play structures are outdated. Rubber surfacing will be installed to meet safety requirements and a border will be built around the playground.
The playground will include new structures such as slides, swings, elevated structures and spring/seesaw components for children ages two to twelve to enjoy. The structures will be accessible to children of abilities as per the City's Accessible Play Spaces Policy.
The city`s contractor, Westplay will be working on the project on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on some Saturdays between 9 a.m. to 7 p.m as per City bylaws. Every effort will be made to minimize noise and traffic impacts to residents in the area.
The work is expected to be completed by mid-April depending on the weather. A celebration event will be held at the completion of the project as a thank you to area residents for their patience.
The park design was selected based on feedback from a public information session held with area residents last summer. Funding for the project was approved as part of the City's 2018-19 Capital Works budget.
Fox Park is located off of Westwood Street in Port Coquitlam.
Questions or comments about the project may be directed to Mitchell Guest, Parks Superintendent, at guestm@portcoquitlam.ca.

Tessa Jane Hadley  (born 28 February 1956; née Nichols) is a British author, who writes novels, short stories and nonfiction. Her writing is realistic and often focuses on family relationships. Her novels have twice reached the longlists of the Orange Prize and the Wales Book of the Year, and in 2016, she won the Hawthornden Prize, as well as one of the Windham-Campbell Literature Prizes for fiction. The Windham-Campbell judges describe her as "one of English's finest contemporary writers" and state that her writing "brilliantly illuminates ordinary lives with extraordinary prose that is superbly controlled, psychologically acute, and subtly powerful." As of 2016, she is professor of creative writing at Bath Spa University.

Biography
Tessa Hadley was born in Bristol in 1956. Her father Geoff Nichols was a teacher and amateur jazz trumpeter, and her mother Mary an amateur artist. Her father's brother is the playwright Peter Nichols. She gained a BA in English (1978) followed by a PGCE at Clare College, University of Cambridge, and briefly taught at a comprehensive school before starting a family. In 1982 she married Eric Hadley, a teacher, lecturer and playwright, and they moved to Cardiff, where Eric Hadley taught at Cardiff University and the University of Wales Institute. The couple have three sons together, as well as three stepsons. During this period, Hadley completed several novels but failed to find a publisher, and also co-authored two collections of short stories for children with her husband.

In 1993, when she was in her late thirties, Hadley studied for an MA in creative writing at the Bath Spa University College, which she was awarded in 1994, and gained a PhD at the University of the West of England in 1998; her PhD thesis is entitled "Pleasure and propriety in Henry James." She started to teach creative writing at Bath Spa University in 1997; as of 2016, she is professor of creative writing at the university. Her first published novel, Accidents in the Home, written while bringing up her family, appeared in 2002 when she was 46. Her continued study of the author Henry James has resulted in a book, as well as several research and conference papers. She researches and teaches on James and Jane Austen, as well as early 20th century novelists and short-story writers, especially women, including Elizabeth Bowen, Katherine Mansfield and Jean Rhys.

She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2009 and is also a Fellow of The Welsh Academy. She is the chair of the New Welsh Reviews editorial board. She has served as a judge for the International Dublin Literary Award (2011), BBC National Short Story Award (2011), O. Henry Prize for short stories (2015) and the Wellcome Book Prize (2016).

Fiction
As of 2022, Hadley has published eight novels, as well as three short-story collections for adults and (with Eric Hadley) two for children. Her novels are realistic, set in Britain between 1950 and the present day, often in cities outside London, and feature comfortably middle-class characters, with a focus on women. They often concentrate on family relationships, "the intricate tangle of marriage, divorce, lovers, close friends, children and stepchildren – the web people create for themselves." They are frequently praised for their prose style as well as their psychological insight; the judges of the Windham–Campbell Prize, which she won in 2016, state that her writing "brilliantly illuminates ordinary lives with extraordinary prose that is superbly controlled, psychologically acute, and subtly powerful." Hadley has described plot or story as "part of the miracle of people and lives ... the abrupt swerves and changes that life produces," and some reviewers have criticised her novels for a lack of plot. The author Anne Enright compares Hadley's short stories to those of Alice Munro, calling them "two writers who would rather be wise than nice. They both write long, realistic short stories that are disrupted by sex and interested in time; both are fascinated by the road not taken. Each draws from a personal store, writing and rewriting variations of the same recurrent themes."

Accidents in the Home
Her first novel, Accidents in the Home (2002), juxtaposes married motherhood with a glamorous London modelling career, and handles themes including adultery. The author Julie Myerson, writing in The Guardian, describes it as a "fantastically subtle, absorbing and insightful novel" masquerading as "chick-mum-sex-lit." Maria Russo, in a review for The New York Times, calls it "surprising and rewarding" and highlights its "intense, concentrated prose style." The novel employs multiple points of view in addition to the protagonist, giving the feel of interwoven short stories, and making the novel "a panorama of a contemporary kind of family life."

Everything Will Be All Right
Hadley has stated that she incorporated some material from her mother's life in her second novel, Everything Will Be All Right (2003), which documents women's roles over the previous fifty years in its description of four generations of one family. The author Joanna Briscoe, in a review for The Guardian, describes the novel as a "virtually plotless portrait of a series of breathtakingly ordinary mortals, which tackles few large themes and lacks the satisfaction of any real narrative arc" and yet is "mysteriously, bewitchingly compelling." The author Stevie Davies, in a review for The Independent, states that "Hadley reminds us of the remorselessness of time and the replaceability of selves;" she calls the novel "intriguing, complex and irritating" and praises its metaphorical use of historical detail.

The Master Bedroom
The Master Bedroom (2007) focuses on a single character, a female academic in her mid-forties who leaves London to look after her elderly mother in Wales and finds herself sexually pursued by a teenager and his father. The novel explores early middle age, as well as the impact of mental deterioration. Liesl Schillinger, in a review for The New York Times, describes it as "a chess game of slow-burn erotic maneuvers that produce tantalizingly unpredictable outcomes." Briscoe, writing in The Guardian, highlights the novel's "stylistic and observational brilliance," but criticises Hadley for "refus[ing] to let dramatic action, an escalation of tension, or any other conventional narrative lubricant dictate the rhythms of everyday life," considering that "she exercises such restraint that her brilliance is ultimately muted."

The London Train
The London Train (2011) is a structured novel with two parallel narratives focusing on separate characters whose links are eventually revealed. Its themes include class differences, family relationships, infidelity and recovery from parental bereavement. Hadley has stated that she conceived the two sections separately. Helen Brown, in a review for The Daily Telegraph, praises the novel's "elegant symmetry" and states that "it offers some first-class views on the psychological scenery of 21st-century Britain." The author Jean Thompson, writing for The New York Times, considers that the emphasis on the characters' thoughts might "muffle plot momentum" and challenges Hadley to "take a further step into the imaginative and transformational, into life that is not merely true but riveting and magical."

Clever Girl
Clever Girl (2013), a first-person account of the life of a woman of fifty, "revives a very old genre, the female picaresque," exemplified by Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders, but Claire Lowdon, in a review for the New Statesman, criticises it for lacking that novel's humour. The literary critic Elaine Showalter describes the novel's structure as a series of short stories – three chapters were published in The New Yorker in that form – and considers "the whole is less than the sum of the parts." James Kidd, writing in The Independent, states that it "slowly coalesces to form a mosaic of British life over the past 50 years."

The Past
The three-part structure of Hadley's novel, The Past (2015), mirrors Elizabeth Bowen's 1935 novel The House in Paris, with the central section set in the past. It features four middle-aged siblings (Alice, Harriet, Fran and Roland) holidaying together at their rural childhood home, and explores sexual desire. The Windham–Campbell judges describe the novel as having a "Chekhovian darkness: layers upon layers of secrets and strains that Hadley slowly, painstakingly excavates."

Nonfiction
Her critical study, Henry James and the Imagination of Pleasure (2002), discusses heterosexual love in his works, arguing that James shows an increasing appreciation for sensuality in his later novels, particularly The Ambassadors, The Golden Bowl and The Wings of the Dove. The academic Christopher Stuart describes the book as having "a rare combination of clarity and complexity" and praises it for putting James's work into the context of both the Anglo-American and continental traditions; he also highlights the "very sensitive, and frequently brilliant, textual analysis" and the "sharp, accessible, witty prose." The academic Phyllis Van Slyck calls the book "a sensitive and beautifully crafted reading" of the meaning of pleasure in James's fiction, describing the writing as "often eloquent," but considers that Hadley should have explained more clearly how her work relates to earlier research on the topic.

Book one: prologue
This is the full prologue of to-be Eternal Defenders book one.
Last update: November 2019 (beta 0.8.1)
Disclaimer: What you are reading is beta-stage content and subject to change. Typos and other small issues might be present – and will be fixed in future drafts.
Prologue: Lifetimes at war
Two elves stood at the Memorial Glade, deep within the Sacred Forest, where few could stand. One of them was Kraasian Darkwood, a two-meters-tall muscular male in his prime, twenty-one centuries old. He had his green hair cut short and his dark green eyes gazed at the monolith he knelt in front of. Of the names engraved on it, he came to pay his respects to three of them.
First were Jandiel Darkwood and his wife Ivaria, a pair of exceptional warriors who fought when the demons invaded their world several generations ago. What they learned during the early skirmishes significantly helped the elven army in the coming battles. Rumors were that Jandiel himself fought Rezam, the demon commander leading the first assault, and forced him to retreat. With his friends, Jandiel persuaded the Eternals, beings of myth and power, to bless their descendants so they could walk in their footsteps and defend their lands until the demons were defeated, thus founding the Order of Eternal Defenders.
The third name he came to pay respect to was Maalos Darkwood, Kraasian's ancestor living five generations ago. During one of his tasks as a warrior, Maalos saved the life of King Emerian Crystelan. Since then, the Darkwood and Crystelan families became unlikely friends. The Darkwoods also offered the Kings of House Crystelan their marital insight – and gained some respect and privileges in return.
"When you told me your wife, Ellisia, gave birth to a boy, I would expect you to come anywhere else but here," the other elf said. He was a close friend of Kraasian for centuries. His lean figure made him look small next to the bulky warrior – while Ereanel was of average height, he was significantly shorter than Kraasian. He had short hair too but brown in color. What made him stand out were his eyes, the color similar to amethyst, with a bright glow – a proof of his deep connection to magic.
"Sometimes I think that too much happened in the last two centuries, Ereanel," Kraasian told the mage. Two hundred years ago, Kraasian's parents rushed ahead to fight a group of powerful demons when Captain Jaimos, leading the defense of the Fourth Gate, was too slow to react. Kraasian and Ereanel went to help them. While they saved the battle, they could not save Kraasian's father. It took him some to make peace with the loss. He learned much from him in terms of fighting, strategy, and diplomacy. Some bitterness towards Jaimos remained even to this day.
A century after those tragedies, a strange disease swept through the land, killing many. Among the victims were mothers of both Kraasian and Prince Venelaos. The disease also affected Venelaos' wife and while she overcame it, she was weakened by it ever since. During those trying years, Kraasian and Venelaos grew even closer, their friendship tempered by a shared tragedy. Venelaos' father, however, found it too much and passed the crown down to Venelaos.
Illeana, Venelaos' wife and now Queen, needed decades to regain at least some of the strength her body lost. Five years ago, she gave birth to a daughter, Princess Nadyenne. The birth was almost fatal to her still-weakened body. Venelaos, having enough death in his family, decided that he'd not push for a male heir. Now, Kraasian has become a father as well. There would be at least one more generation that would keep the friendship between Crystelan and Darkwood families alive.
"Sometimes I feel like there's a curse to pay off the strength of my bloodline," Kraasian said. "For five generations, a Darkwood did not live long enough to know his grandchild."
"It might be sad, but as long as they live long enough to know their son and raise him, your legacy will live on," Ereanel said, nodding towards the name of Jandiel inscribed on the stone.
"You're welcome to visit us at any time. Your wife, Ralisha, will be also welcome."
"Once she sees your son, she'll ask when I'll be willing to become a father," Ereanel commented. "I can't imagine how the battlefield would look like with both of us needing to divide our time between our duty and our family, so she'll need to wait a bit more, a decade or two at least."
"Ralisha is not a soldier. You'd have it easier because someone could always take care of your child," Kraasian said. "I guess Ellisia will not fight for at least two seasons. After five centuries fighting side by side, it'll be very strange to be there without her."
"So, who else knows about the good news?" Ereanel asked.
"Ellisia sent a letter to her parents a few days before giving birth. They'll come to visit us soon. I'll wait a bit before telling the King and General Vigellus; probably long enough for us to make the trip to the palace with him."
"By the way, what's your son's name?"
"We decided to name him Tyr'eshal," Kraasian answered.
"If he grows up to be half as talented a warrior as you and Ellisia are, I can't wait to see him in our ranks," Ereanel said after a while of silence and absent-minded look at the memorial stone. "With my friends, you and Ellisia, and possibly your child; we could do some serious damage to the demons."
Kraasian once again looked at the stone. "Since Jandiel founded the Order, generations lived and died knowing nothing but this. We're no closer to ending this struggle than he was."
"When the demons invaded, thousands of brave soldiers died just in the time they needed to reach the safety of the walls, doing their best to protect civilians. Much more died in the first battles for those gates. The humans lost eighty percent of their population. We lost only thirty because we avoided civilian casualties – and that was only thanks to Selras' prophecy and because Jandiel was able to make the most of it. We're replenishing far too slowly with the demons attacking our gates and taking more lives each year."
"The Eternals believed Jandiel's bloodline – and that of his friends – held a promise. They blessed him and his descendants, eventually coming down to us, for a reason. The Eternal Defenders are growing stronger with each generation. It is time to see our strength prevail. I don't want our children to know only the endless war, Ereanel. Together, we will find a way to finally end it."

Did you know there are 5 million empty jobs in the U.S. waiting to be filled? And even though 47% of the workforce are women, if businesses don't enable them to enter that workforce, then re-enter it after pausing to raise children, who is going to fill those empty jobs—657,000 of which are in IT? Perhaps Lisen Stromberg's new book, "Work Pause Thrive," has some answers.
As I describe in a recent article I wrote for The Huffington Post (which you can read here), having a career and having a family might be a little easier than it was, say, 30 years ago, but not all that much. At least, this was Stromberg's experience. She found it quite hard to pursue a career in advertising and marketing while raising children so she paused, pivoted and became an award-winning journalist. Along the way, she realized that other women were struggling with the same choices, which caused her to ask, is pursuing a career and having children an either/or for women? And if so, does it have to be this way or could things change?
Like a true entrepreneur, Stromberg got to work seeking ways to solve the conundrum. First, she conducted research, surveying 1476 women (and a handful of men) and personally interviewing 186 women, trying to discover how well (or not well) women are managing to balance their working lives and mommy lives. What she found was that irrefutably, the U.S. has become a nation of women breadwinners (almost half of all American workers are women) and with numbers come power—in this case, the power to change.
Stromberg believes that for the workforce to be transformed into one where women and men can perform across all their roles—home, work and family—the workplace culture needs to change, focusing less on work/family needs as a problem to solve and more on creating a better work environment for both genders.
Stromberg's solution was to launch PrismWork, a culture innovation consulting practice that works with organizations to attract, retain and promote women and other under-represented talent.
And guess what happens when women workers are valued, empowered, allowed to pause for personal commitments, and then warmly embraced when they return to their careers? Do companies fall apart, unable to handle this start-stop-start-again pattern? No, in actuality they thrive, benefitting from the intellects and energy and innovative thinking of these amazing women.
We can only hope that more and more businesses figure it out. Perhaps Stromberg's "Work Pause Thrive" will help.
In order to build a successful business, a highly-functioning company culture is not just important, it's absolutely critical. Here are three of our recent blogs that explain why.

E.R. and Urgent Care: What's the Difference?
No one ever plans for a medical emergency to happen, but when it does, you want to be as prepared as possible. You need to know where to seek medical attention, especially those of us that are parents to small children or guardians of the elderly. Having an "idea" versus knowing where to seek the best medical care for emergency situations can make a huge difference in the timeliness and quality of the assistance you receive.
From the outside, a freestanding emergency room and urgent care clinic might appear to be very similar, but through the doors and under the surface there is a lot of vital information that separates the two facilities that a patient should be aware of. In general, a free-standing emergency room compared to an urgent care clinic offers completely different medical services. The first and most basic distinction between the two is a free-standing emergency room will be open 24 hours a day, where an urgent care clinic is only operating within regular business hours.
The most crucial difference between the two types of facilities is dependent on the care a patient seeks. Although both types of establishments market to "immediate" medical attention seekers, if choosing the wrong type of medical aid, help can be delayed for quite some time due to redirection or relocation. It is essential for patients to be able to distinguish between a real medical emergency and symptoms considered urgent. Free-standing emergency rooms are considered best for symptoms that are abnormal or extreme, like broken bones or severe cuts, whereas urgent care is made for handling symptoms that are more run-of-the-mill – experiencing flu-like symptoms, a fever, or a stomach bug. It is also important to note that when you come to an emergency room, you will normally be treated by a board-certified physician. While urgent care centers can be staffed by physicians, more often than not you will be seen by a physician assistant (PA) or nurse practitioner (NP).
Because freestanding emergency rooms are privately owned, they will typically house more advanced medical facilities/equipment and staff trained in various different medical fields. This means that at a free-standing emergency room, not only are you often able to receive an overnight observation but also be given fluids and full serviced lab testing, compared to urgent care counterparts, which are typically hospital-owned facilities only able to give basic care and prescriptions.
As far as price and acceptance of medical insurance goes, because both offer standard services, typically both establishments accept very similar forms of health insurance and payment options. The difference you will find here is all dependent on the facility. We always recommend conducting prior research on insurance acceptance before seeking treatment in order to avoid receiving services that won't be covered. We hope that this information is helpful to our patients so that the next time you need medical assistance, you will be fully prepped and educated on the best type of facility for their situation.

Q: How to add OwlCarousel in laravel project? Can not add OwlCarousel to laravel project properly and it doesn't work.
What should I do?
I copied owl.carousel.min.css and owl.theme.default.min.css and owl.carousel.min.js to owlcarousel folder that was placed in the same directory as view.blade.php file was.
My code is:
<!DOCTYPE html>

A: The right way is this one:

The function URL::asset() produces the necessary url for you. Same for the css:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ URL::asset('css/owl.css') }}" />

You have to place owlcarousel folder in the laravel's app/public folder, not in views folder.
Hope this helps.

Footsbarn Travelling Theatre is one of the world's leading touring companies performing for the most part in one of its circus big tops but also in theatres thoughout the world. Footsbarn Travelling Theatre is born from a dream to create a form of theatre that is popular,generous,professional yet accessible to all.To take theatre out of the limits of established buildings and bring it closer to the local population ,to farms ,beaches ,streets and village squares .
The company is renowned for its exciting adaptations of classics such as Shakespeare & Moliere transcending the barrier of language with its unique blend of visual theatre, music and magic.
In forty seven years, Footsbarn has created over 60 productions and travelled to the six continents.
Footsbarn Travelling Theatre began life in Cornwall in 1971, rehearsing in the barn of Trewen, a farmhouse near the village of Trewidland. One of the founder members was Oliver Foot, hence the name. In 1984 the company left Britain to take its brand of theatre to international audiences and remained without a base until 1991 when a farm was purchased in central France, La Chaussée. Today its base is both a fully equipped production centre complete with workshops, rehearsal space, office and studios but also a centre for education. Over the last 25years Footsbarn has organised and staged numerous workshops, which have been taught by both actors from the company as well as professionals associated with Footsbarn.

Open reduction and internal fixation of two- and three-part proximal humerus fractures
Frances Cuomo, Joseph D. Zuckerman
Results of open reduction and internal fixation of two- and three-part proximal humerus fractures can be maximized with a thorough understanding of shoulder anatomy, accurate fracture classification based on quality radiographs in three planes, strict attention to detail, and minimizing further injury to the soft tissues at the time of surgery. Almost all of these fractures can be managed by one of two surgical approaches, the deltoid-splitting or deltopectoral, both of which leave the deltoid origin intact. Minimal osteosynthesis fixation in the form of heavy, nonabsorbable suture or wire incorporating the strong rotator cuff tendons, tuberosities, and shaft is a sound method of achieving both rigid fixation and fracture healing. Ender nails used in conjunction with figure-of-eight suture or wire in a tension band configuration gives additional longitudinal and rotational stability in surgical neck fractures, especially if comminution exists. The use of this limited internal fixation minimizes the complications of soft-tissue stripping and loss of fixation in osteoporotic bone seen with the use of plates and screws, while allowing an early passive rehabilitation program. A physician-supervised rehabilitation program for at least 1 full year is required for optimum results.

Abstract In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring stars, supernova remnants, accreting white dwarfs, low and high mass X-ray binaries, radio quiet and radio loud active galactic nuclei, tidal disruption events, and gamma-ray bursts. eXTP will be excellently suited to study one common aspect of these objects: their often transient nature. Developed by an international Consortium led by the Institute of High Energy Physics of the Chinese Academy of Science, the eXTP mission is expected to be launched in the mid 2020s.

Sitecore was announced as a Leader by Gartner in its 2019 Magic Quadrant for Digital Experience Platforms (DXPs). This is the second year of Gartner's MQ for DXPs, and we're glad to see we've maintained our Leader position. While the use cases for DXPs continue to get more complex and varied, we feel that our increased position within the quadrant is a strong reflection of our dedication to keep pace with the ever-evolving market.
Gartner predicts, "More than two-thirds of marketers responsible say their companies compete mostly on the basis of CX, according to the 2017 Gartner Customer Experience in Marketing Survey. And in two years' time, 81% say they expect to be competing mostly or completely on the basis of CX." Which is, quite honestly, not surprising. Thanks to the demands placed on our products by our customer base, we've seen similar trends for some time and have consistently invested so we can meet those demands and ensure we have an industry-leading solution.
Digital experience platforms represent an extremely wide range of use cases, from externally facing self-service support portals to intranet systems. As a result, DXPs must be robust, including tools and architecture elements that are flexible enough to gracefully handle all these diverse needs. At their core, however, digital experience platforms require consistency. For internally facing platforms, maintaining consistency is vital when connecting disparate databases and diverse systems. For externally facing platforms, that same consistency is essential when coordinating across channels — whether physical or virtual. This also requires coordinating the creation of content, as well as its delivery.
To extend our ability to support content delivery across a seemingly ever-expanding array of outbound channels, we introduced a number of foundational elements to our platform. Sitecore JSS provides the power of omnichannel delivery. In addition, xConnect allows Sitecore users to gather customer and other data from external sources to improve these omnichannel engagements.
Again, we have our clients to thank for alerting us to this trend while ago. Expectations from our web content marketing clients in this area, for example, have been high for quite a while, and they keep getting higher. In every one of our solution updates, we ask ourselves how we can better enable our customers' teamwork and collaboration.
It's one of the many reasons we're particularly thrilled about our recent acquisition of Stylelabs, which greatly expanded our DXP capabilities. While our focus was previously centered around delivery, connectivity, personalization, and campaign coordination, we can now ensure the creation and curation of content and brand assets follows a disciplined, effective, and collaborative process.
Despite the success we have had in Gartner's evaluation, we aren't going to rest on our laurels. We're making significant investments this year into our product roadmap. A number of those are specifically designed to help organizations make big strides along the path of their digital transformation journey, providing greater customer experiences that lead to lifelong relationships with their brand.

Multiple injured in shooting at Hawaii's Pearl Harbor base
At least three people were injured, two of them critically, when a gunman opened fire at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii before taking his own life, local news reports have said
Published: 5 Dec 2019, 8:31 AM
At least three people were injured, two of them critically, when a gunman opened fire at the Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard in Hawaii before taking his own life, local news reports have said.
A spokesman for the US base would only say that security forces had responded to reports of a shooting at around 2.30 pm local time on Wednesday and that the base was on lockdown for several hours.
One witness told local media he was sitting at his computer when he heard shots fired and saw three victims on the ground.
The witness, who did not want to be identified, said he then saw the gunman who was wearing what appeared to be a navy or sailor's uniform shoot himself in the head.
Hawaii News Now said several civilians were among the gunshot victims.
The shooting reportedly took place near the south entrance to the sprawling base.

Prague's New Addition
Home > Archives for News
November 25, 2019 By Blandine Fayolle
Have you been to Prague lately? There is a new addition to the "Silicon Valley of Europe"! That's right, Ynvolve has officially opened a new office in the Czech Republic!
In the last few years, we have experienced an increased success in the Eastern and Central European markets. Thus, our directive concluded that having our presence in the region was imperative to better serve our customers, which is a key factor of our success. With an excellent and modern infrastructure, its central location and its reputation as an established European Tech Hub, Prague became our first choice.
Our dedicated team of Czech speakers made a seamless transition with the opening of our new office. Establishing a dedicated sales office in Prague required us to have a deep understanding of the local culture that can only be achieved with years of experience within the Czech environment. Our presence in this part of the continent has allowed us to access the regional talent pool and to provide all of you with more personalized solutions.
If you happen to find yourself in Prague, feel free to drop by our new office and meet our first Sales Executive, Julie. She and our manager Antoine Molinari would be delighted to show you around. We are located close to the city center at Lomnického 1705/9 in the Nusle district.

Ynvolve launches in APAC after 10 years of European customer satisfaction
March 11, 2016 By Blandine Fayolle
Ynvolve is pleased to announce the extension of its sales operations to the APAC region. After 10 years of ongoing growth and European and North American customer satisfaction, Martijn Niessen, CEO of Ynvolve and the Infinite Group, is looking forward to expanding the range of services offered to already existing South East Asian customers.
"Opening a sales and customer support office in Australia is a sensible choice. We have done well delivering equipment in South East Asia but have not offered our full range of services to our clients in that region. Having an APAC sales office will be beneficial to our clients as there won't be any more overnight waiting for answers, and they will have access to our full 360 offer. While our main goal is that our existing clients get the timely service and support they need, we also wish to develop our business in that region" explains Martijn Niessen.
Dean Michael joined the Ynvolve team on October 1, 2015 to manage the APAC office. With a strong background in sales and marketing, wide cultural knowledge and years of proving strategy and leadership in the corporate world, he is a perfect fit for the Dutch firm. "I'm thrilled to be part of the Ynvolve team based in Sydney and looking after Asia Pacific!" says Dean. "I have no doubt that working together closely with APAC customers, we will make a difference in the IT industry."
Success for Ynvolve's recycling program
In 2008 Chris Carroll from National Geographic was investigating the recycling, or lack thereof, of High-Tech equipment and was asking a pertinent question: "Will your discarded computer end up in a ditch in Ghana"? 7 years later the question is still relevant.
50 million tons of E-waste
Electronic waste, and computer equipment in particular, are still increasingly ending in landfills, most of the time in the developing world. 50 million tons of E-waste are estimated to be produced every year, of which only 15-20% is recycled.
Ynvolve feels strongly about the importance of contributing to a better world by helping the most underprivileged, and by being taking concrete steps towards protecting our environment, our planet.
In 2013, our company developed and launched its recycling program. There are two ways to reduce the amount of toxic E-waste being dumped: reuse or/and recycle. We take any type of IT equipment from PCs and servers, to mainframes, cabinets and spare parts. We can pick up IT equipment virtually anywhere in the world.
A PC is made of 23% plastic, 32% ferrous metals, 18% non-ferrous metals, 12% electronic boards and 15% glass. 95% of IT equipment is recyclable. Recycling of metals is better for the environment than mining even though it certainly comes with a cost. We offer a full recycling service following the European norms and we deliver a recycling certificate to our clients ensuring them the proper disposal of their equipment.
Reusing IT hardware is another solution that significantly extends the life of equipment. It benefits the seller who gets a higher ROI and benefits the buyer who is looking for a more cost-effective solution that fits its budget. Thirdly, the environment is protected as less equipment needs to be manufactured since the hardware's life is being extended. It is therefore the preferred solution. Ynvolve brings the equipment to its technical center, refurbishes and resells it under its consignment programs.
In 2013 our company recycled 16 tons of IT equipment. Last year that amount was quadrupled. Gérald Dulac, managing director or Ynvolve and initiator of the recycling program, shares his vision for the future: "We are satisfied with the progress accomplished in 2014. This year we want to do an even better job at advertising this service to our clients with the goal in mind of reaching 150 tons of recycled equipment in 2015."
Ynvolve was granted the ISO 9001 certification
Ynvolve, member of the Infinite Group, was granted the ISO 9001 certification on June 23, 2014. Their internal quality system was audited in May and all quality requirements for the certification were deemed to be met by DNV Business Assurance.
Ynvolve's mission is to provide customers with innovative and customized services that help them maximize the return on their technology investments. Their business expertise and global approach allow their clients to reduce the cost of their IT supplies and systems' maintenance. Ynvolve's main objective is to provide companies with competitive and high quality services. In addition, the management team's ambition is also to offer a work environment where each employee is encouraged to grow, and where they as a team continually improve their internal processes.
As Gérald Dulac managing director of Ynvolve explains, "Developing and implementing our quality manual for the ISO 9001 certification has allowed us to improve communication internally hence offering in the long term better quality services to our clients. Being ISO 9001 certified is a step further toward the excellence we strive for, both internally and externally."

Ynvolve helps a children's choir in Namibia, the country where its sister company OITS is based
Lost in the middle of a desert in southern Namibia, lies a little town called Maltahohe. Like many other places in Africa, the village has been hit hard by the spread of AIDS. Many children have lost not one, but two parents, and are orphans. There is not much to do or see in the 6000-inhabitant municipality located more than a hundred kilometers from Mariental. Hopes for higher education and a better life are dim.
In 2001 a choir of young children between the ages of 10 to 18 was formed by two teachers determined to offer them the chance to grow and develop their skills. The choir performs shows based on traditional Nama and Tswana culture. They learn values such as organization, perseverance and discipline, and are given the opportunity to learn and practice English. The show lasts about an hour and consists of songs and dances inspired by scenes of daily life in the Nama community. The children wear beautiful colorful traditional costumes and makeup.
The choir has proved to be successful in helping the children. Many of them have stayed in school and have gone on to study or get a job in the capital Windhoek. Tourists come by, stop for half a day, and pay to listen to them. A European filming crew came in May 2013 to shoot a documentary about them. Brian Padwick, a French-South African man who owns an art and craft store in this unknown part of the world, helps promote the choir with the local tour operators and secure performances for the children.
Ynvolve decided to help after one of its employees visited the craft center and saw the show. With the logistical support of Ruben Nadimi of OITS, they asked the children to make a list of items they would wish to get the most. The list was duly completed, returned, and then forwarded to a general store in Mariental with the purchase order. The employees prepared and packed the goods (together 35 toiletry packages specifically adapted to each child's wishes) and Brian picked up all of the items just in time for a joyful Christmas celebration in December. The children were extremely excited about receiving the goodies as Kovisa's comments show: "Thank you! I have very little; you gave me a great T-shirt, toiletry kit and shoes." They partied, sang, danced and enjoyed a hearty Christmas meal.
Ynvolve is happy to be offered the opportunity to share its success by helping local initiatives in countries where the Infinite Group is located. If you wish to help the children choir Ama Buruxa, please contact Brian Padwick at the Oa Hera Namib Backpackers & Cultural Center (oaheraa@iway.na). You can also visit their website: www.oaheraart.com.

Internet Brands Targets Techdirt Post For Removal Because Of 'Infringing' Comment Left By A Reader
from the not-how-that's-supposed-to-work dept
Mon, Mar 16th 2015 10:26am — Tim Cushing
The DMCA takedown notice allows rights holders to perform targeted removals of infringing… I can't even finish that sentence with a straight face. IN THEORY, it can. In reality, it often resembles targeting mosquitoes with a shotgun. Collateral damage is assumed.
Case in point: Internet Brands recently issued two takedown requests to protect some of its cruelty-free, farmed content originating at LawFirms.com. It's this phrase -- taken verbatim from LawFirms' "Penalties for Tax Evasion" -- that has triggered the takedown notices from Internet Brands.
Tax evasion refers to attempts by individuals, corporations or trusts to avoid paying the total amount of taxes owed through illegal means, known as tax evasion fraud.
The first takedown targets several URLs, some of them merely content scrapers. Other URLs listed (like this one) target posts with comments containing parts of IB's post -- even comments providing a link back to the original article being quoted.
The second (at least according to Google's non-numeric sorting) is a repeat of the first, except for the addition of a Techdirt post. At first glance, the targeting of this article by Tim Geigner -- "Dear Famous People: Stop Attempting Online Reputation Scrubbing; I Don't Want To Write Streisand Stories Anymore" -- would appear to be exactly the sort of behavior Dark Helmet was decrying. But it isn't.
The phrase triggering the Internet Brands takedown can be found in a very late arrival to the comment thread, more than one-and-a-half years after the original post went live. It opens up with this:
This is a very interesting. I read the whole article at New York Magazine. So someone is accused of tax evasion and then charges are dropped and then tries to clean up his reputation.... nothing wrong with that.
Then, for no apparent reason, the commenter drops in the LawFirms.com paragraph highlighted above.
Now, here's the problem. If blogs and other sites are reposting others' content without permission, that's one thing. But targeting whole posts for delisting just because a commenter copy-pasted some content is abusive. It could very possibly take out someone else's created content -- covered under their copyright. Using a DMCA notice in this fashion can allow unscrupulous rights holders to bypass Section 230 protections -- effectively holding site owners "responsible" for comments and other third-party posts by removing the site's original content from Google's listings.
From the looks of it, Internet Brands did nothing more than perform a google search for this phrase and issue takedown notices for every direct quote that originated from somewhere other than its sites. It didn't bother vetting the search results for third-party postings, fair use or anything else that might have made its takedown request more targeted. Internet Brands doesn't issue many takedowns, so it's not as though its IP enforcement squad had its hands full. In fact, there's every reason to believe actual humans are involved in this process, rather than just algorithms -- all the more reason to handle this more carefully. Here's a little bit of snark it inserted into a 2014 DMCA takedown notice.
The interview and photos are published on our website and permission hasn't been granted for anyone else to republish them. Not only is the content stolen it out ranks our website in a Google search for the keyword "th taylor". So much for Google being able to identify the source of original content!
If a company has the time to leave personal notes for Google (which doesn't have the time to read them), then it has time to ensure its requests aren't targeting the creative works of others just to protect its own. The DMCA notice is not some sort of IP-measuring contest with Google holding the ruler. If Internet Brands thinks it is -- or just hasn't bothered to vet its takedown requests before sending -- it's usually going to be the one coming up short. If Google doesn't ignore the request, those on the receiving end of a bogus takedown will make a lot of noise. Either way, it''s accomplished nothing.

WIPO Now Gets Into The Extrajudicial, Zero Due Process, Censorship Act Over Sites It Declares 'Infringing'
That One Guy (profile), 16 Mar 2015 @ 1:03pm
The argument that "there's too much stuff out there, so we can't verify everything!" is a cop-out. That's like the police whining that there's too many cars so they can't catch every speeder.
Accurate, but you didn't go far enough.
Applying the logic used to defend bogus DMCA claims, that of 'there's too much stuff to check whether or not something is actually infringing before claiming it is' in other situations would be like cops complaining that there's too many speeders out there, and using that to justify sending random drivers tickets, whether they are guilty or not, or even drive at all.
And if innocent people ended up facing fines and dings against their driving record? Why, just take it to court, if you're really innocent I'm sure that'll clear it up. Never mind that that takes money and time that some people may not have, and is punishing them for something they haven't done, nope, there are too many people speeding to check, a little collateral damage is a small price to pay.

Budynek Szkoły Podstawowej nr 3 im. ks. Franciszka Blachnickiego w Tarnowskich Górach (tzw. Szkoła Parkowa, niem. 1939–1945 Adolf-Hitler-Schule) – gmach wybudowany w latach 1929–1932 w Tarnowskich Górach, wpisany do rejestru zabytków nieruchomych województwa śląskiego, mieszczący współcześnie szkołę podstawową.

Lokalizacja
Budynek szkoły znajduje się w dzielnicy Śródmieście-Centrum miasta Tarnowskie Góry, na zachodnim skraju zabytkowego śródmieścia, po wschodniej stronie ulicy Stanisława Wyspiańskiego.

Historia

Jedną z pierwszych szkół powszechnych w Tarnowskich Górach była Katolicka Szkoła Powszechna nr 2 Żeńska, która początkowo mieściła się w budynku przy ul. Zamkowej 3-5 w ścisłym centrum miasta. Miała ona jednak tylko 14 sal lekcyjnych, była więc zbyt mała w stosunku do wzrastających potrzeb. Z tego powodu tarnogórska rada miejska podjęła 5 listopada 1928 roku decyzję o budowie nowego, 32-klasowego gmachu szkolnego na zakupionej na ten cel dużej działce przy ul. Parkowej (obecnie ul. Stanisława Wyspiańskiego) w pobliżu parku miejskiego, stąd szkoła ta często nazywana była i jest "szkołą parkową".

Budowa obiektu według projektu Martina Stefke, pod nadzorem miejskiego budowniczego Wiktora Warzechy, rozpoczęła się w grudniu 1929 i trwała niecałe 3 lata. Wykonawcą prac była firma Kaspara Jastrzembskiego z Tarnowskich Gór. Otwarcie nowej placówki nastąpiło 31 października 1932 roku i brał w nim udział m.in. wojewoda Michał Grażyński. Szkole nadano nazwę Katolicka Szkoła Powszechna nr 2 Żeńska im. Królowej Jadwigi. Oprócz niej w budynku swoje pomieszczenia miały również Szkoła Powszechna Specjalna nr 6 oraz Publiczna Szkoła Powszechna nr 5 dla Mniejszości Językowej Niemieckiej, która w roku szkolnym 1937/1938 przeniesiona została do budynku Szkoły Powszechnej nr 1 przy ulicy Jana III Sobieskiego.

W 1935 roku ze Szkoły Powszechnej nr 2 wyodrębniono Publiczną Szkołę Powszechną nr 4 Żeńską, zaś ze Szkoły Powszechnej nr 1 przy ulicy Sobieskiego – Publiczną Szkołę Powszechną nr 3 Męską. Ta druga we wrześniu 1937 roku przeniesiona została do budynku przy ul. Parkowej, w wyniku czego znalazły się w nim w sumie cztery szkoły.

We wrześniu 1939 roku budynek przejęty został przez władze niemieckie, a szkole nadano nazwę Adolf-Hitler-Schule (pol. 'szkoła im. Adolfa Hitlera'). W części budynku umieszczono szpital wojskowy, zaś pod koniec wojny na terenie boisk zbudowano schrony i rowy przeciwlotnicze.

Po wojnie budynek wyremontowano. W 1954 roku uruchomiony został radiowęzeł. W roku szkolnym 1962/1963 szkoła stała się placówką koedukacyjną, natomiast w 1965 Szkołę Specjalną nr 6 przeniesiono do nowo wybudowanego budynku przy ul. Strzelców Bytomskich. W 1972 roku, krótko po otwarciu nowego budynku szkolnego w dzielnicy Osada Jana, Szkoła Podstawowa nr 4 została zlikwidowana. Od tego momentu w budynku znajdują się już tylko dwie szkoły: Szkoła Podstawowa nr 2 (w bloku północnym) i Szkoła Podstawowa nr 3 (w bloku południowym). Rok później Szkoła Podstawowa nr 3 zyskała imię działacza komunistycznego, Aleksandra Zawadzkiego. W 1983 roku miał miejsce pierwszy od 1946 roku remont generalny budynku.

W 1990 roku z nazwy Szkoły Podstawowej nr 3 usunięto komunistycznego patrona, z kolei Szkole Podstawowej nr 2 nadano 19 listopada 1993 roku imię zmarłego wieloletniego nauczyciela tej szkoły, prof. Władysława Babireckiego.

W roku szkolnym 1999/2000 w wyniku reformy edukacji, Szkoła Podstawowa nr 2 przekształcona została w Publiczne Gimnazjum nr 2 Sportowe.

W czerwcu 2012 roku patronem Szkoły Podstawowej nr 3 został ks. Franciszek Blachnicki.

We wrześniu 2017 roku wskutek reformy systemu oświaty Publiczne Gimnazjum nr 2 Sportowe zostało włączone do Szkoły Podstawowej nr 3, tworząc jednolitą ośmioklasową Szkołę Podstawową nr 3 im. ks. Franciszka Blachnickiego.

Architektura

Budynek stanowi przykład wczesnego zastosowania modernistycznej formy architektonicznej inspirowanej działalnością Bauhausu. Kształt jego żelbetowej konstrukcji sprowadzony został do geometrycznych form z zachowaniem klasycystycznego wyczucia. Został założony na symetrycznym rzucie, zbudowany z trzech potężnych bloków nakrytych płaskimi dachami, z których blok środkowy jest niższy i cofnięty względem bloku północnego i południowego. W tylnej części budynku znajdują się duże tarasy na dachach sal gimnastycznych.

Pierwotnie wnętrza mieściły 5 obszernych klatek schodowych, 2 sale gimnastyczne o wysokości 7 metrów, przy których znajdowały się po 2 szatnie i natryski, 30 sal lekcyjnych, 3 pracownie, 2 sale rysunkowe, 8 sal do nauczania o gospodarstwie domowym, 14 pomieszczeń na pomoce szkolne, 2 kuchnie i 2 stołówki, 2 kancelarie, 2 pokoje nauczycielskie i 2 mieszkania dla nauczycieli oraz 2 gabinety lekarskie i jedna świetlica. W "szkole parkowej" zainstalowano dzwonki elektryczne oraz – w jako pierwszej szkole w Polsce – zastosowano ogrzewanie gazowe. Do czasów współczesnych zachowała się oryginalna stolarka drzwiowa oraz – częściowo – okienna.

Wokół budynku znajduje się uporządkowane otoczenie z boiskami i ogródkiem szkolnym od strony tylnej oraz trawnikami i murkami z cegły klinkierowej z metalowymi listwami przed frontonem. Przed najmniejszym, środkowym wejściem ustawiony ceglany postument z zegarem.

W okresie międzywojennym, jako najnowocześniejszy budynek szkolny w kraju, był celem wielu delegacji, budził powszechne uznanie; nawet ze strony prasy niemieckiej.
