Christmas food is undoubtedly something we spend about a whole year looking forward to. The turkey, cranberry sauce, pigs in blankets, mince pies... We love it.
However, our traditional Christmas binge is not exactly the healthiest of pursuits, and although you may want to spread the Christmas cheer by packing your child's lunchboxes full of festive treats, a mince pie a day may not be the best route forward.
If your child is already over excited about the festive season, here are four Christmas lunchbox fillers that will help keep up the festive cheer, and make you happy that they're eating something that's good for them.
Switch traditional sandwiches for some yummy festive wraps and inject a bit of health and colour into their lunches.
Take a wholemeal wrap, and sprinkle lettuce and raw greens on it – spinach is great for young minds. Put on a thin layer of lean, cooked turkey and scatter over a handful of fresh cranberries. Fold in the bottom edge, and then roll up. Wrap tightly in a single layer of foil, so your little one can rip in and then unwrap as they eat to avoid losing filling!
Potato salad is a great alternative to sandwiches and can be made in a large batch in advance. Just remember to supply them with a fork!
Cook and cool new potatoes. Chop into bitesize chunks, and pop into a bowl with some cubed ham, a handful of fresh cranberries, and finely sliced spring onions. Add a little ground pepper, some chopped fresh parsley (optional), a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a little olive oil – or use low fat mayonnaise. Toss together, and then pop onto a bed of raw spinach or salad in a Tupperware container.
There are so many yummy pudding options around at this time of year, so why not blend these flavours into a healthy fruit salad for your child's lunchbox?
Peel and cube a dessert apple and pear, pop in a bowl, and add in the juice of ½ orange to stop the fruit going brown. Peel a clementine or satsuma, remove pith if your little one is fussy, and separate into segments. Add to the bowl, along with some fresh or dried cranberries, some sultanas, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Stir, and dish into small Tupperware containers.
A top tip that would earn you teacher rewards: to keep salads cool, simply freeze a juice carton and use as an ice pack in their lunchbox!
Trail mix should be only served in small portions as it's calorie-heavy, but it's excellent as brain food at lunch or as a mid-morning snack for student motivation. Make sure to check out your child's school's rules on nuts before preparing this, as some ban them due to allergies.
Mix equal amounts of almonds, cashews, pecans, pumpkin seeds, dried cranberries, soft-dried apricots and dried apple. Add a little cinnamon, mix up, and then put portions into small pots or ziplock bags.
Do you put anything special into your child's lunchboxes over the Christmas period?
Thanks for sharing Louise. Some lovely ideas there!

Thomas Stangassinger (* 15. September 1965 in Hallein) ist ein ehemaliger österreichischer Skirennläufer. Er gehörte in den 1990er-Jahren zu den weltbesten Slalomfahrern, gewann im Skiweltcup zehn Slalomrennen, fuhr insgesamt 37-mal auf das Podium und siegte 1999 im Slalomweltcup. 1994 wurde er Olympiasieger im Slalom, bei Weltmeisterschaften gewann er eine Silber- und eine Bronzemedaille.

Biografie
Stangassinger gehörte seit 1981 dem Kader des Österreichischen Skiverbandes an und nahm an den Juniorenweltmeisterschaften 1982 und 1983 teil. In Sestriere 1983 erreichte er den vierten Platz im Slalom. Im selben Jahr wurde er Österreichischer Juniorenmeister im Riesenslalom. Im Europacup belegte er in der Saison 1983/84 mit einem Sieg und weiteren drei Podestplätzen den dritten Rang in der Gesamtwertung und Platz zwei im Slalomklassement.

Die ersten Punkte im Weltcup holte Stangassinger am 16. Dezember 1984 mit Platz fünf im Slalom der 3-Tre-Rennen von Madonna di Campiglio, tags darauf kam er in der Kombination auf den zweiten Platz. Bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1985 in Bormio startete er in der Kombination, fiel aber im zweiten Slalomdurchgang aus. Im Dezember 1985 fuhr er im Slalom von Kranjska Gora erneut auf das Podest, kam aber danach im gesamten Winter nicht mehr unter die besten zehn. Ohne Spitzenplätze blieb er auch in der nächsten Saison und so fehlte der Salzburger bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1987 in der Schweiz. Nach einem zweiten Platz im Slalom von Bad Kleinkirchheim war Stangassinger bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1988 in Calgary wieder mit dabei und belegte in der Kombination den 13. Platz, den Slalom konnte er nicht beenden. Ab der Saison 1988/89 startete Stangassinger nur noch in den technischen Disziplinen und bestritt keine Kombinationen mehr. Im Weltcup waren seine besten Platzierungen im Winter 1988/89 zwei sechste Plätze in den Slaloms von St. Anton und Furano, bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1989 belegte er den neunten Slalomrang.

Am 3. Dezember 1989 feierte Stangassinger im Slalom von Mont Sainte-Anne seinen ersten Weltcupsieg, kam aber während der restlichen Saison kein zweites Mal auf das Podest. Ab der Saison 1990/91 fuhr Stangassinger auch keinen Riesenslalom mehr und konzentrierte sich nun vollständig auf den Slalom. Im Weltcup erreichte er in diesem Winter zwei Podestplätze. Beim Saisonhöhepunkt, den Weltmeisterschaften 1991 in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, wurde er nur von Marc Girardelli geschlagen und gewann die Silbermedaille. Im folgenden Winter fiel er etwas zurück, ein sechster Platz in Sestriere war sein bestes Saisonergebnis, und bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1992 in Albertville kam er auch nur auf den neunten Rang. In der Saison 1992/93 konnte sich Stangassinger wieder steigern, er fuhr insgesamt dreimal auf das Podest und feierte am 24. Jänner in Veysonnaz seinen zweiten Weltcupsieg. Im Slalomweltcup kam er damit erstmals unter die besten drei. Bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1993 im japanischen Morioka-Shizukuishi holte er zum zweiten Mal Edelmetall und gewann die Bronzemedaille hinter dem Norweger Aamodt und dem für Luxemburg startenden Girardelli.

In der Saison 1993/94 siegte Stangassinger in Park City und Kitzbühel und wurde zweimal Zweiter, jeweils hinter Alberto Tomba. Damit erreichte er, ebenfalls hinter Tomba, den zweiten Platz im Slalomweltcup. Den größten Erfolg seiner Karriere feierte der damals 28-Jährige bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1994 im norwegischen Lillehammer. Mit überragender Bestzeit im ersten Durchgang verwies er Tomba auf den zweiten Platz und wurde Olympiasieger im Slalom. Er erhielt daraufhin das Goldene Ehrenzeichen für Verdienste um die Republik Österreich und wurde von den österreichischen Sportjournalisten zum Sportler des Jahres gewählt. Eine im Sommer erlittene Schulterverletzung beeinträchtigte den Salzburger in der gesamten Saison 1994/95 und so fuhr er erst zu Saisonende in Bormio zum einzigen Mal in diesem Winter auf das Podest. Auch in der nächsten Saison kam er nur einmal unter die besten drei. Krankheitsbedingt konnte er bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1996 nicht starten.

Deutlich steigern konnte sich Stangassinger wieder in der Saison 1996/97. Er fuhr insgesamt achtmal auf das Podest und gewann den Slalom von Shigakōgen. Dadurch wurde er hinter Landsmann Thomas Sykora Zweiter im Slalomweltcup. Bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1997 in Sestriere blieb er aber hinter seinen Weltcupergebnissen und kam nur auf Platz sechs. In der Saison 1997/98 gewann Stangassinger die Slaloms von Park City, Veysonnaz und Kitzbühel und kam weitere zweimal auf das Podest. Im Slalomweltcup wurde er abermals von Thomas Sykora geschlagen, diesmal nur um knappe vier Punkte. Bei den Olympischen Winterspielen 1998 in Nagano kam er nur auf den eher enttäuschenden sechsten Platz.

Mit zwei Siegen in Aspen und in der Sierra Nevada sowie drei zweiten Plätzen schaffte Stangassinger in der Saison 1998/99 auch den Sieg im Slalomweltcup, nachdem er bisher schon dreimal Zweiter gewesen war. Bei den Weltmeisterschaften 1999 konnte er aber wieder keine Medaille gewinnen und belegte erneut den sechsten Platz. Die Saison 1999/2000 war Stangassingers letzte. Er fuhr noch viermal unter die besten drei und wurde Fünfter im Slalomweltcup. Stangassinger beendete im Frühjahr 2000 nach 145 Weltcupslaloms, von denen er 10 gewann und weitere 26 unter den schnellsten drei beendete, im Alter von 34 Jahren seine Karriere.

For millions of 90s kids, Super Mario 64 is the video game equivalent of Proust's madeleine — evoking a simpler, more exciting and infinitely more awesome time. And the game's first level — that lush green hillside with bright gold coins, giant rolling cannonballs and a tense boss battle providing a taste of the epic, princess-saving journey ahead — has now been recreated in HD and can be played in your browser.
Developer Roystan Ross created the level to demonstrate a custom character controller he created, according to TechCrunch. He had to sacrifice larger features like the chain-chomp and the final battle with the Big Bob-omb, but other than it's a pretty accurate rendition.
It may not the same as holding that three-pronged N64 controller in your hands, but you can play it online using a downloadable plugin called the Unity web player.
The project is not affiliated in any way with the game's parent company Nintendo, but it does provide a glimpse of what the cross-platform forays that the video game giant recently announced it would attempt might look like.

Wiśniówka is a traditional wooden house, built with attention to every detail. It is the highest situated building in the area, surrounded by the beautiful Beskids forests. It is accessible by a lovely forest track and there is nothing in the immediate vicinity that could disturb the blissful peace and quiet.
It is an ideal place for both summer or winter holidays as well as for a weekend trip to the mountains.
The house is surrounded by meadows and woods from all sides – mushroom picking starts right at the doorstep. There is a jacuzzi situated in the middle of the garden, which will keep you warm on a chilly autumn evening, or freshen you on a hot summer day. And children can have a lot of fun in the playground.
The terrace runs alongside the entire south side of the house. It's a good place to read a book, have a coffee or take an afternoon nap in the hammock. It's also a perfect place to study stars and constellations. It is definitely worth waking up at dawn to admire the sunrise from here and nowhere does the wine taste better.
Adjacent to the house is a perfect party corner – a roomy wooden shed with wide shutters, wooden tables and benches, a tv and an open hearth. An excellent place to watch matches together or simply have a good time. If you want, you can even prepare here a traditional mountain style stew in a special cast-iron pot.

Appliance Moving Made Easy
By Diane Schmidt

It takes some work to move a refrigerator, but if you have the right equipment, time, and some extra help, you don't need a professional to do it right. Read through these 10 steps carefully before getting started, gather your equipment and helpers, and you'll be well on your way.
1. Measure, Measure, Measure
Before moving large appliances, measuring is key. For a successful move, you'll need to measure the thing you're moving, the space you're moving it through, and the space you're moving it into. Unlike some furniture, a refrigerator can't be taken apart to fit through a narrow door or hallway, so every inch of space counts.
Use a measuring tape to get the height, width, and depth of the refrigerator. Next, measure the entryway or door space the fridge has to fit through. Will you need to remove the door and it's hinges to ensure the appliance fits through? If you find that a space is too narrow for your refrigerator even with the door removed, you may be out of luck.
2. Gather Supplies
Before you start to move the refrigerator, get everything you'll need. There's nothing worse than starting to move only to realize that you don't have enough rope or the dolly isn't big enough. Gather these supplies:
Large moving dolly
Rope or strong cord and/or moving straps
Plain paper or moving blankets
Marker or labels
Dolly for moving the refrigerator (It's a good idea to take the measurements of your refrigerator to your local truck rental or moving supplies company so they can rent or sell you a dolly that will be big enough.)
3. Clear Out the Contents
Remove everything inside the fridge, including freezer items. Give away perishables and pack up items that you're taking with you, using a well-insulated ice chest for anything that might go bad. Remove and pack magnets and any items that are on on the door or on top of the fridge. I
4. Unplug It
Let the freezer defrost. This will usually take at least 6 to 8 hours, depending on the state of the freezer. It's best to defrost it overnight, which will allow you enough time in the morning to wipe out the inside. While you're at it, take a few minutes to properly clean the interior of the refrigerator so you'll be able to start fresh in your new home.
5. Remove What You Can
Remove shelves, especially if they're glass. If you prefer, tape the interior refrigerator drawers closed (avoid heavy-duty packing tape which can leave glue behind). If you remove shelves and drawers, wrap them with moving blankets, towels, or newspaper to protect them during the move. if your refrigerator is complex and shelves need to go in a specific place, then make sure you label them so you know how to put the inside together after you move.
6. Wrap the Cord and Secure the Door
Wrap the cord, securing it so it doesn't get caught while moving.
With a strong cord or rope, tie the doors closed by wrapping the cord around the fridge. If you have a double-door, tie the doors together tightly. Tape will work as well, but just remember that when you remove the tape, the paint surface might be disturbed.
8. Position the Fridge on the Dolly
Slide the refrigerator away from the wall. Slide the dolly underneath, keeping the refrigerator vertical (never turn the fridge on its side if you can avoid it). It's a good idea to tie the fridge to the dolly using moving straps, especially if you will be moving the refrigerator down stairs. Moving straps can be rented from moving companies or box supply stores; they can be easily adjusted and are a great tool for moving heavy items.
9. Move it Out
Once the refrigerator is in position, tip it back, with one person at the front and one at the back. A third person can help direct and jump in when someone needs help.
If you're moving it downstairs, it's best to move the refrigerator down the steps, bottom first. Take it slow, easing the dolly down one step at a time. If the person holding the dolly handles needs help holding the weight, have an extra person help.
Once the refrigerator is out of the house, secure it in the truck you're using for the move. If you possibly can, keep the refrigerator vertical: Lying it on its side can cause damage.
If you're renting a truck, you'll probably have access to a ramp. When the refrigerator is inside the truck, secure it (and the dolly) using moving straps. If you're using a borrowed pickup truck it's important to line the back of the truck with pads to avoid scraping the surface; again, secure the refrigerator and dolly carefully.
10. Move It In
Reverse the process of moving the refrigerator from the truck to your new home, and position it into its new space. Before you plug it in, let the refrigerator sit for at least 2 to 3 hours. This allows the fluids to flow back into the compressor. This is critical to its cooling mechanism.
Once you've moved the refrigerator in, plug it in and leave it. It'll take a while before the fridge is ready to use. Some require three days before they'll reach optimum temperature. Check your manual for details.
Tips for Moving Your Fridge
Don't place it on its side. Always keep the refrigerator standing upright as much as possible. This ensures that oil won't seep into the cooling tubes which can cause permanent damage.
Read the manual. Check moving instructions in your refrigerator's manual before you move. It'll highlight important safety tips, advice and warn you of potential problems.
Don't hesitate to call a professional. While it seems simple enough, refrigerators are heavy and awkward, and moving them incorrectly can cause permanent damage. If you're unsure about moving it, call a professional mover.

Love is a Passion Fruit | Smile, God Loves You!
The Bible says in Galatians 5:22 that love is one of the fruits of the Spirit, and in fact, it's listed as the first fruit, which indicates that it's a priority. It's one of the virtues or the characteristics that make up the wholeness of the Spirit of God; a virtue that we could refer to as "the passion fruit".
Through His Spirit the Lord has given us the passion to love Him, to love other people and to love ourselves. When this becomes part of our own character we are able to receive instruction and discipline from God, accept differences in other people, and be willing to make changes in our own lives.
Why is this more acceptable than obedience? Many Christians feel that obedience to God's Word is the most important aspect of being a Christian, and that because God demanded in the Old Testament that we obey Him, that it is to be carried out even now. We are to obey Him, but obedience without love is simply accepting the law and following it. Anyone – Christian or non-Christian – can learn the law and follow it to the best of their ability. There is no heart-felt commitment or any loyalty or devotion to God when our priority in serving Him is to simply obey Him.
But to follow what Jesus has set out for us and to obey His instructions because we love Him is very different. It means that we have a connection with Him, a respect, reverence, commitment and devotion to Him, and that we want to please Him and to be like Him because we LOVE Him.
Jesus also added a second part to that commandment in verse 31 and said that we should love our neighbor just like we love ourselves. And with this comes the famous question, who is our neighbor?
Our neighbor is any person we come in contact with. In the story of the Good Samaritan, this man had never met the injured victim before, but he met up with him and so treated this man the way that he would want to be treated. He didn't leave him on the side of the road like the others had, but he took him to a place where he could be cared for, and then he even paid for this care and didn't expect to be paid back for it.
This shows us what God means when He says to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. The Samaritan had nothing to personally gain from helping the injured man, but what he had was love in his heart towards other people.
We can clearly see the difference between someone helping us out of obligation and someone helping us out of love when we go the grocery store. Many of the young store clerks will look over our head when they greet us showing that they have no interest in us at all, and then they'll slam our bread in between the potatoes and the canned food and not blink an eye when we complain that our bread was squashed. Others will look you in the face and smile as they say hello and handle our goods with care. A simple analogy, but one that makes a point of showing the different between obligation and love.
As Christians we need to accept God's love for us so that His love resides in us, and then we can live every day and serve Him by helping others with the same loving attitude. And when we do, we will not only be physically helping other people, but we will be extending the love of God to others, and this is a testimony that will bring many people closer to knowing and loving Jesus for themselves.
Ronnie this is one of the best devotional essays you've written. Speaks true of Jesus.

Just about all of us here at Mondo are current (or former) video game addicts and one game that we all universally adore is 2016's DOOM reboot from id Software and Bethesda Softworks. The game is complete mayhem from start to finish and is a beautiful testament to the hours of fun to be had while slaughtering your way through demons of Hell on a colony of Mars. We're proud to have worked with Gabz on three gorgeous posters celebrating this brutal and brilliant gem of a game. The devil is in the details and Gabz totally killed this illustration dead. This is DOOM.


150 years ago in 1865, a group of Potsdam Village citizens established Bayside Cemetery. Under the leadership of Thomas S. Clarkson Sr. and Bloomfield Usher, prominent citizens and leaders in the Trinity Church, the cemetery bought over 20 acres, known as "Deming's Heights," on the southwest side of the village. Thomas Clarkson gave it an additional 15 acreas. Later acquisitions have increased the property to over 80 acres, half of which is still in forest.
The first interment was performed in 1867. In addition, about 720 graves were moved from earlier cemeteries within the village on Willow St. and Pierrepont Avenue.
The burial grounds were designed by Luther Briggs, a Boston architect and surveyor. (More about Briggs in "Designers").
The first gatehouse was a simple frame building beside a cart track that crossed a field into the burial grounds. It was moved to adjacent land south of the cemetery when the present stone gatehouse and entryway were constructed at the beginning of the 20th century. For more on the gatehouse and entryway, see "Buildings."


The Asia Pacific private equity (PE) industry reached new highs last year after a record-breaking 2017 and achieved heavyweight status on the global PE stage, said Bain & Company recently.
The region now represents 26% of the global PE market – up from only 9% just a decade ago – with US$883 billion in total assets under management.
Despite this powerful momentum, uncertainty continues to linger, driven largely by the underlying macro-economic environment, rising interest rates, and the growing polarity between large funds with strong track records, and smaller, less experienced funds, the firm pointed out.
Propelled by strong momentum, deal value across Asia-Pacific peaked at US$165 billion in 2018, above the all-time high of US$159 billion of a year earlier and 48% greater than the past five-year average, the firm said.
China and India dominated deal-making last year, making up almost 75% of total deal value. Exit values also hit an all-time high, reaching a record US$142 billion in 2018 –up 39 % over the past five-year average, according to Bain & Company.
However, the total number of exits declined sharply to 402, down 32% from the past five-year average. Large exits dominated – exits of US$1 billion or more were almost 60 % of total exit value, and the average exit value doubled to $353 million compared with the average for the previous five years.
Although a core of large and experienced funds raised capital with ease, overall Asia-Pacific focused fund raising was sharply lower in 2018, following a record high in 2017, dropping by more than 50 % to $75 billion, or 34 % below the previous five-year average, said the management consulting firm .
China's move to enforce more stringent policies on wealth management products to improve transparency and reduce financial risk, together with a record level of dry powder – $317 billion or three years of future investment – after raising ever-larger funds in recent years, significantly curbed fundraising, the firm added.
"Over the last several years, private equity in Asia Pacific seemed to be unstoppable, and 2018 reinforced that trend in terms of record-breaking deal and exit values. But we're seeing warning signs that suggest the party may be coming to an end, at least for some investors," said Kiki Yang, who leads Bain & Company's Private Equity practice in Asia Pacific.
The increasing market bifurcation and gathering macroeconomic headwinds that we've hinted at in the past are starting to materialize, potentially slowing the revenue growth and multiple expansions that have historically propelled Asia-Pacific PE returns, she said.
This means that vulnerable and less differentiated funds could disproportionately bear the brunt of a downturn, Yang noted.
Bain also identifies three disconcerting market developments that could affect investment activity and returns in 2019.
First, US-China trade tensions have increased the risk of macroeconomic disruption in China and across the region.
At the same time, deal prices have remained high but interest rates are rising steadily after a period of decline, a trend that will increase the cost of funding and could put a brake on future multiple expansion.
Third, and perhaps most worrying, Bain pointed out, is that the region's private equity market has become sharply polarized between large funds with strong track records that dominate activity across the region, and smaller, less experienced funds that are having difficulty raising funds and exiting.
According to Bain & Company data, the number of exits of companies sold for less than US$100 million plunged to 205, in 2018, down 58 % from 493 in 2017.
By contrast, the number of exits larger than $500 million rose 26 % to 59.

Davide Cassani, né le  à Faenza en Italie, est un coureur cycliste italien, reconverti en consultant sportif, puis sélectionneur.

Professionnel de 1982 à 1996, il remporte une vingtaine de succès, dont deux étapes du Tour d'Italie. De janvier 2014 à septembre 2021, il est sélectionneur de l'équipe d'Italie de cyclisme sur route masculine.

Biographie

Carrière de coureur

Davide Cassani est le cousin au second degré de Roberto Conti qui, comme lui, est passé professionnel. Il grandit à Solarolo, commençant la compétition dès son plus jeune âge.

Il fait ses débuts comme professionnel en 1982 chez Termolan. En 1986, il part chez Carrera, où il a comme coéquipiers Claudio Chiappucci, Roberto Visentini et Stephen Roche. En 1988, il court au sein de l'équipe Gewiss-Bianchi avec comme leader Moreno Argentin. De 1990 à 1994, il porte le maillot d'Ariostea, tandis qu'en 1995 il signe avec MG Maglificio.

Spécialiste des longues échappées, il est considéré comme l'un des meilleurs équipiers du début des années 1990. Il obtient ses meilleurs résultats dans les courses d'un jour. Il participe à 12 reprises au Tour d'Italie, à neuf Tours de France (où il porte le maillot à pois) et à neuf championnats du monde.

Parmi ses résultats les plus prestigieux figurent des succès sur le Tour d'Émilie en 1990, 1991 et 1995, sur Milan-Turin en 1991, sur deux étapes du Tour d'Italie (1991 et 1993) et le Trofeo dello Scalatore en 1991. Il a également remporté le Tour méditerranéen en 1994 et deux éditions de la Coppa Agostoni. Il compte également deux tops 10 aux championnats du monde :  à Renaix en 1988 et  à Stuttgart en 1991.

Sur les grandes classiques internationales, il réalise sa meilleure saison en 1992, où il se classe troisième place de la Flèche wallonne et du Tour de Lombardie, ainsi que quatrième de Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Cela lui permet de terminer troisième du général de la Coupe du monde. Lors de l'Amstel Gold Race 1995, il se classe deuxième, battu de façon surprenante par le Suisse Mauro Gianetti dans un sprint à deux.

En 1996, il vient de rejoindre Saeco lorsqu'il est renversé par une voiture : cet accident va l'obliger à mettre un terme à sa carrière.

Carrière dans les médias
En avril 1996, le directeur de Rai Sport Marino Bartoletti lui confie le rôle de commentateur télévisé de courses cyclistes d'abord aux côtés d'Adriano De Zan, puis d'Auro Bulbarelli et à partir de 2010 de Francesco Pancani.

Cassani, avec un autre ancien cycliste professionnel, Massimo Boglia, est le protagoniste de la série « Le Grandi Salite del Ciclismo », également publiée en DVD, dans laquelle les deux grimpent les ascensions les plus célèbres du Tour d'Italie et du Tour de France ensemble. Il est l'auteur de l'« Almanacco del Ciclismo » publié chaque année et, avec Ivan Zazzaroni et Pier Bergonzi, co-auteur d'une biographie sur Marco Pantani : « Pantani. Un eroe tragico ».

Lors du commentaire d'une étape du Tour de France 2007, Cassani, faisant l'éloge du maillot jaune Michael Rasmussen, raconte l'avoir rencontré dans le Trentin alors qu'il s'entraînait. Ce fait coûtera au Danois (qui a menti sur sa localisation en disant qu'il était au Mexique à ce moment-là, pour échapper aux contrôles antidopage) d'être exclu de son équipe Rabobank et du Tour, qu'il était sur le point de gagner.

En 2010, il participe à un reportage montrant la faisabilité et l'existence de vélos de course motorisés, évoquant le dopage mécanique. Il essaye le vélo motorisé et affirme que le constructeur lui a certifié que quelques coureurs professionnels ont déjà utilisé ce matériel qui permet de rouler à 50 km/h sans se fatiguer.

Commissaire technique

Le 28 janvier 2014, il est officiellement nommé comme commissaire technique de l'équipe italienne de cyclisme sur route, succédant à Paolo Bettini. Durant son mandat, l'équipe nationale gagne deux championnats du monde de contre-la-montre (tous deux remportés par Filippo Ganna en 2020 et 2021) et quatre titres européens sur route (Matteo Trentin en 2018, Elia Viviani en 2019, Giacomo Nizzolo en 2020 et Sonny Colbrelli en 2021). Il est également proche du titre mondial de l'épreuve en ligne en 2019, avec l'argent de Matteo Trentin, battu lors d'un sprint à trois à l'arrivée par le Danois Mads Pedersen.

Il quitte ses fonctions de commissaire technique (sélectionneur) après les mondiaux 2021.

Q: What Excel formula can I use to calculate the 2nd Monday of a given month? What Excel formula can I use to calculate the second Monday of a given month?
You can assume I have a cell containing the first day of the month to work with.
In the interests of other users, can you please also explain how to alter the formula to get the 1st, 3rd or 4th Monday of the month too, and other days of the week too. eg the third Friday of the Monday...

A: Here's something I found with a quick search:

Generically you can get the nth xday of the month with this formula

=DATE(B2,A2,1+7*n)-WEEKDAY(DATE(B2,A2,8-xday))

where year is in B2 and month (as a number 1 to 12) is in A2, and where xday is a number representing the day of the week (1 = Sun through to 7 = Sat), so for 1st Saturday that becomes

=DATE(B2,A2,1+7*1)-WEEKDAY(DATE(B2,A2,8-7))

or for 4th Thursday

=DATE(B2,A2,1+7*4)-WEEKDAY(DATE(B2,A2,8-5))

So, if I'm reading this properly, the 2nd Monday of the month is
=DATE(B2,A2,1+7*2)-WEEKDAY(DATE(B2,A2,8-2))

(credit where credit is due)

A: =IF((WEEKDAY(A1) > 3),(A1+(17-WEEKDAY(A1))),(A1+(10-WEEKDAY(A1))))
A1 is first day of month

A: I couldn't get this to work correctly either.  I came up with a super complicated (my idiom) way that does appear to work.

A2 = Month
  B2 = year
  C2 = Day of week (1 - 7, 1 = Sunday)
  D2 = "number" (3 = 3rd xday etc.)

SO 2nd Monday would be A2 = current month, B2 = current year, C2 = 2 (for Monday) and D2 = 2 (for 2nd Monday)
F2 = =IF(MONTH(IF((WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2))))=$C2,(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))+(($D2*7)-7),IF((WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2))))<$C2,((VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))+($C2-(WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))))+(($D2*7)-7)),(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))+($C2-(WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))))+7+(($D2*7)-7))))=A2,IF((WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2))))=$C2,(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))+(($D2*7)-7),IF((WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2))))<$C2,((VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))+($C2-(WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))))+(($D2*7)-7)),(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))+($C2-(WEEKDAY(VALUE(($A2&"/01/"&$B2)))))+7+(($D2*7)-7))),"error")

I'm sure there is a much cleaner way to do this (already noticed if I flip one of my IFs around, I can eliminate some replication) plus most of the repeated formulas could be pulled out into separate cells to make the end formula cleaner. But I haven't had a chance to research what other formulas might be available so I'm leaving it as is for now. I also made an even uglier version with error checking and slightly prettier results. But its too complex to post here.

In February, Chinese company Mobike, with the agreement of the council, expanded its dockless bike hire scheme to cover the whole of Ealing. There are now 2000 bikes across the borough. But what's it like to use them?
Once you've downloaded the app, renting a bicycle is quick. The app shows you available bikes on a map. The first time you rent one it takes about three minutes to enter the payment card details and scan the QR code on the bike. A few seconds later you will hear a click and the lock will open. Once set up, future rentals are a matter of seconds. In Ealing you pay a discounted deposit of £1, then 50p per half hour. Regular users can now buy a Mobike Pass which offers unlimited 'free'rides. The 30 day pass costs £9.90.
The bicycles are basic – the lack of gears, heavy frame, and airless tyres means pedalling is harder than on a normal bicycle – but they are fine for short distances. This is what they are designed for – the first and final stages of a journey such as between home and a railway station. The height of the seat is adjustable, but taller riders will find the maximum height too low for comfort. A new model is due to fix this.
Like other dockless hire bikes such as Ofo, Mobikes are not locked to stands. Instead when you park the bike, you simply lock the rear wheel, and three beeps will tell you that you have returned the bike. Users are urged to leave the bicycles where they don't cause an obstruction. The bike's position is monitored by a solar-powered GPS unit, and users will be penalised if they leave them in an unsuitable place.
You can download the App from the Android or Apple Store.
If you have problems with a Mobike, or wish to report one in an unsuitable location, you can call the contact centre: 0330 131 9789 from 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday, or email support.uk@mobike.com. You will need the bike number, painted on the side of the bicycle.
· Do consider the needs of pedestrians, especially those who are blind or partially sighted or those using pushchairs or wheelchairs, when leaving bikes on footways.

Posted in Boston Red Sox, Fair-Weather Fans, Tampa Bay Rays by Dave on April 27th, 2008
Living in Southwest Florida, I've always felt that I should try and adopt the Tampa Bay (Devil) Rays as my second favorite baseball team. After all, their tickets are cheap, parking is free, and they have a group of young players that could turn them into a winner in the years to come. But after attending today's Red Sox-Rays game, I didn't gain a newfound respect for this team. I found the complete opposite – disdain.
Just when I thought that the Yankees had the biggest fair-weathered fans around, here come the Rays to challenge them for the title. The Rays have sold out their stadium 10 times… ever. In past years, they couldn't have filled the place even if they offered up free all-you-can-drink beer and the chance to play shortstop for the team. Even at the start of this season, the Rays were playing to half a stadium. But now that they've won a few games in a row, everyone and his sister are fans. And man, are they obnoxious.
For some stupid reason, instead of cheering when their team makes a good play, Rays fans ring cowbells. Why do they do this? I have no idea, but it sucks, and it irritates the hell out of me. Another thing that pisses me off is the ridiculous Rays fans that were talking smack like they just won a playoff game. The Rays just swept a team that was decimated by an Ebola-strength flu epidemic. They can stick their brooms up their asses. Let's check out their record when the All-Star game rolls around.
Am I bitter that the Sox were just swept? Maybe a little.
Do I think that the Rays will challenge the Sox in the AL East this year? No way.
Are the Rays now public enemy #2 to Red Sox Nation South? Definitely!
Order of the Universe
Posted in Fair-Weather Fans, George Steinbrenner, I hate the Yankees, Red Sox Nation by Dave on March 2nd, 2008
George Steinbrenner's mentally handicapped son and current Supervisor of Baseball Operations for the Yankees, Hank Steinbrenner, voiced his displeasure the other day to the New York Times "Play" magazine about the most popular fan base in all of sports. For those who missed it, Hank said: "Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of [expletive] that is. That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans." Hammerin' Hank continued, "Go anywhere in America and you won't see Red Sox hats and jackets, you'll see Yankee hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We're going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order."
Now, we've let Hank say his piece, and we hope that he feels pretty good about himself. But here at thefoulline.com we would like the opportunity to respond. First of all, Hank, you are a complete and utter jackass. I thought that your dad was a whackjob, but you have now earned the title of "Craziest Steinbrenner To Run a Baseball Team."
The reason that ESPN televises more Sox games than Yankee games is that people want to see a winner play. Not a group of overpaid, aging, lying, steroid-enabling has-beens. America likes that Boston players keep their noses clean and stay out of the tabloids. This is a good thing for the game of baseball. Having twenty current and former players on the Mitchell Report, an adulterating third baseman and left fielder, and a tax evading shortstop on your roster, on the other hand, is not.
After Hank spouted his line of crap, younger brother Hal decided to add this little gem: "The defending World Series champions have a lot of talent, and [have] done very well the past few years, but let me put it this way: I don't think [they] wanted to play us in the ALCS. So I will concede nothing. I think we're better than [them]."
Well Hal, allow me to retort. Boston would have LOVED to play your team in the ALCS. Winning a World Series title is nice, embarrassing the Yankees in the process is even better. Your stellar lineup, with its seven-game playoff losing streak, scares no one. Add an inconsistent rotation, an unreliable bullpen, and the annual playoff choke-job known as Alex Rodriguez, and your team can count on another early exit next year.
The thing is, they may be right about the number of fans out there. But there is a huge difference between Yankee fans and Red Sox fans. Sox fans wear their hats and jackets all year long, regardless of their wins or losses. Yankee fans hide in their parents' basements until their team starts to lead the division, and then they dust off their Yankee gear and reveal themselves as the obnoxious idiots that they are.
Hank and Hal, you are fortunate to live in the greatest nation in the world. Unfortunately for you, it goes by the name of RED SOX NATION. And I think it's time you were deported.

The literature to date gives conflicting findings as to the effect of breastfeeding on child cognitive development and behaviour. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between breastfeeding and child cognitive development and behaviour in a large population-based UK cohort, and to assess whether these relationships vary according to prematurity. We used data from Sweeps 1 and 3 of the UK Millennium Cohort Study. Children were grouped according to their breastfeeding status (ever versus never; and duration of any and exclusive breastfeeding). Results are stratified according to gestational age at birth. The main outcome measures were the British Ability Scales tests, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the school-based Foundation Stage Profile which were administered when the children were aged 5 years. In the analysis, we took account of potential confounders and mediators of the effect of breastfeeding on child development and behaviour.
Breastfeeding is associated with improved cognitive development at age 5 years, especially in preterm children. On average, children who have been breastfed for a few months will be 1-6 months ahead of a typical non-breastfed child, even after allowing for a wide range of confounders and mediators.
Children who are breastfed are more likely to have good school performance at age 5 years compared with children who are non-breastfed. The effect was noted for those who were breastfed for up to 2 months (RR=1.09), those who were breastfed for 2-4 months (RR=1.17) and those who were breastfed for at least 4 months (RR=1.16).
Children who are breastfed are less likely to have behavioural problems at age 5 years compared with children who are non-breastfed (OR=0.67).
Taken together, these results suggest that there is evidence of breastfeeding having a long term effect on child development, behaviour and education.

A Young Woman Reading (after 1670s) is an oil on canvas painting by an unknown painter in the manner of the Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer. It is an example of Dutch Golden Age painting and is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Description
This painting by a follower of Vermeer was purchased by Jules Bache as autograph for $134,800 in 1928, and he left it to the museum (as autograph) in 1949.

Years later it became apparent that it was a modern forgery, but the attribution to Han van Meegeren is uncertain. Bache had purchased it from Wildenstein who had acquired it from dr. G.A. Rademaker of The Hague. Bache had previously purchased two other old master paintings for similar prices which he subsequently left to the museum:

Like A Lady Playing the Guitar, the painting is a quiet witness to the popularity of Vermeer among the US art collectors of the early 20th-century. The attribution was called into question by W.R. Valentiner soon after the Dutch art collector and critic Vitale Bloch published an article about it in 1928. Bloch mentioned that the seascape was similar to the Love Letter and the head was similar to Girl Reading a Letter at an Open Window. What he saw as proof of authenticity was interpreted by Valentiner to be cause for concern, especially since "to hear almost every year of a newly discovered Vermeer may cause suspicion".

Isolde, the new play by Richard Maxwell - the writer and director best known for an anti-dramatic style in works like Drummer Wanted and, most recently, Neutral Hero - is the story of an actress unable to remember her lines or memories from her past. Exeunt caught up with Maxwell during rehearsals this week to talk about the piece, and how is work has evolved since Neutral Hero.
Kathryn Hamilton: Were the opera versions of the story of Tristan and Isolde an influence while writing this?
Richard Maxwell: No, no. Maybe in a Wikipedia kind of way, or after the fact. But I have to say that happened inadvertently. I'd written a love triangle story, and I had the guts of it worked out. And I had a dream that I should call it Isolde, and it was then that I went and looked up the story, and that's when I saw all the parallels.
One of the interesting things about this version is that I found a new parallel to Tristan and Isolde. You know when [my character] Isolde is describing these pictures – this came out of a rehearsal in New York recently – where I was asking Tory [Vazquez] to describe pictures of what she could remember of Tristan and Isolde. They weren't really connected to – they were connected to the memories, and it's kind of a therapy scene where she is trying to find a way to remember. She is using the images that we use in the dumb show, so now it is relating more to the Tristan and Isolde story.
Kathryn Hamilton: In Neutral Hero, you were working with Joseph Campbell's theory of the archetypal hero, and here you are working with a very specific story, but also these archetypical characters.
Richard Maxwell: That's good that you found archetypal – it's nice that you found that association because I was worried about it. I think it is becoming clearer as we work in this room. It's been so much for me a conscious breaking from Neutral Hero, and what was going on there, that this is – it's reassuring to know that there is this underpinning of archetypes and iconic things.
Kathryn Hamilton: In what ways do you see it as a break with Neutral Hero?
Richard Maxwell: Well, you can look at the way people are behaving, and I think it's very clear. Here it is almost like a style, it's almost naturalistic. The writing is more – it's people looking at each other and having a conversation.
Kathryn Hamilton: It feels like a Cassavettes' script.
Richard Maxwell: Great, that's great – I'm so glad you said that, because Opening Night, Faces, those were really resonating for me. Which is one of the reasons why part of our marketing was to do these screen tests, so we did these silent black and white screen tests with the actors.
Richard Maxwell: Exactly. That was another connection.
Kathryn Hamilton: This play feels like a very different world – class wise – than you are usually associated with.
Richard Maxwell: Well, I knew that I wanted this story about someone trying to realize their dream house, so that's already – you've limited your population. So that gave me license to write in a different way. And that's maybe something that I couldn't have written ten years ago, because I didn't know people like that back then.
The original idea came from this idea of an actress who is a character, who is an actress, who is unable to remember her lines. And applying a kind of method acting approach so if you have to be faithful to your character as an actor, and your character can't remember their lines, then the logic of that would say that you shouldn't remember your lines either. It's conceptual, it's not something that I'd really like to see happen onstage. But in a way maybe that's – it exposes some of the fallacies about acting. In this way that there is a difference between the character and the performer. If you were to follow through to forgetting, it exposes this idea that I've always had a problem with, that pretending is somehow necessary to tell a story, to have it work. Sharing a story, maybe it doesn't need pretending.
Kathryn Hamilton: Or you put all the pretending into one section: here, the dumb show.
Richard Maxwell: Yes, yes, that's a thing that stuck around because I didn't know what to do there. And it's still there – I don't know, it's like – I mean, if I'm exposing some fallacies about acting, then the dumb show exposes fallacies about how I feel about acting. I think this show is very different. And I've been guilty about saying that about every show, that it's very different from the one before, but I don't think I'm wrong this time. I've worked with these actors a lot, and all along I was convincing them that pretending wasn't necessary, and after a while that starts to feel complacent, and also maybe not so accurate. Because when you think about what a pure state might look like as an actor, you don't want to be obliged to pretend, but you also don't want to feel obliged not to pretend. But normally there is not the flip side.
Kathryn Hamilton: Neutral Hero was going as far as you could go into not pretending.
Richard Maxwell: Yeah, and now I'm allowing the possibility of going another way.
Kathryn Hamilton: The Tristan and Isolde story is best known as an opera. Is there a reason that in this play you decided not to include live music?
Richard Maxwell: I think it's about what I was saying earlier, that I'm trying to appreciate the craft of writing a play more, and this thing that is my habit to write songs, to tell the story with songs, it's – the word to describe it they use is "devised" theater. I may have lost faith in that. It wasn't called that when I was staring out. I guess I am saying devised because it is not a musical, it is not a play, it's something else, and I'm the writer and the director, and I am making it in the room. And that won't change, as long as I am writing and directing the play, that won't change. But I am just not comfortable with that. I want to give that method of making theater a break. And to challenge the actors in a way that is different. You know, Gary [Wilmes] has been on Broadway – to do eight shows a week in front of 900 people, that's something, you learn from that – and I wouldn't want to deprive myself of his experience or any of the actors' experiences.
Kathryn Hamilton: Like the argument that goes on in the play between the practical craft of the contractor and the architect's dream house that can't get built?
Richard Maxwell: Yeah, I think about that a lot, like maybe Massimo and Patrick is me cut in half. And Isolde, too, when she's talking about "no more acting," how wearisome it gets with the projects. You do them for enough years and you start to feel like there is a pattern, you know what's rote.
Kathryn Hamilton: People come to your work with certain expectations. Do you think that they will find this a departure from what you've been doing before?
Richard Maxwell: I don't know, I think it's possible to see it as a radical departure, or as an extension. You know, like when Neil Young made Lucky 13, and I think it was David Geffen tried to sue him for artistic inconsistency. As I get older, I start to see that you can try to be different, as I did. You think you are making a splash, and you start to see that you are not as different or as special as you thought. And that's OK. But the hazards are always there as well. The hazards of upsetting the norm.
Richard Maxwell: Well, your norm, yeah.
Kathryn Hamilton: The radicalism of not being radical?
Richard Maxwell: (laughs) Yeah, there you go, there's a title. Is it radicalism though? That's what haunts me, because I still think that under that, I want it to be.
Isolde is at Abrons Arts Center, New York, from 10th – 26th April 2014.

GoDaddy employees tricked in attack against cryptocurrency firms
Earlier this month, cybercriminals targeted GoDaddy customers to modify the DNS settings of at least two cryptocurrency websites, namely NiceHash and Liquid. There are reports that other cryptocurrency platforms Bibox.com, Celsius.network, and Wirex.app were also targeted by the same hacking group.
The attackers tricked GoDaddy employees into obtaining access to their customer accounts and could have possibly affected many of the company's customers, including the above-mentioned crypto mining services.
A statement was released by the two affected services on November 18th stating that the attackers breached their internal systems after obtaining control of their accounts through tricking GoDaddy employees.
According to an announcement from Liquid's CEO, Mike Kayamori, addressing crypto traders, their system was attacked on November 13th, and the attacker was able to change their DNS records and took charge of several internal email accounts to compromise its infrastructure.
The threat actor even managed to access document storage of the trading platform after successfully obtaining account access through their domain registrar GoDaddy.com.
"A domain hosting provider 'GoDaddy' that manages one of our core domain names incorrectly transferred control of the account and domain to a malicious actor."
Kayamori stated that immediately after detecting the attack, they took all the necessary steps to contain the attack, including reasserting the domain control and reviewing their infrastructure.
Furthermore, they implemented plans to mitigate the risk to customer accounts and prevent future attacks.
"We can confirm client funds are accounted for, and remain safe and secure. MPC-based and cold storage crypto wallets are secured and were not compromised," Kayamori noted.
The other affected crypto service NiceHash stated that the service outage on November 18th resulted from the same issue with GoDaddy. The attackers gained unauthorized access to their domain settings and changed the DNS records for NiceHash.com.
"In the early morning (UTC) hours of November 18, 2020, the NiceHash domain was not reachable. The domain registrar GoDaddy had technical issues, and as a result of unauthorized access to the domain settings, the DNS records for the NiceHash.com domain were changed".
Furthermore, they froze all wallet activities for 24 hours and resumed services only after ensuring that funds were safe. However, they suspended withdrawals until the results of the incident's internal audits arrive.
The company confirmed that there is no evidence that the attackers accessed personal data, emails, or passwords; however, they recommend users to reset their passwords and enable 2FA security.
According to GoDaddy, a small number of customers were impacted by this incident. The company didn't share any information on how the threat actors were able to target its employees.
Brian Krebs from KrebsonSecurity assessed the incident and identified that the attackers utilized social engineering tactics to trap GoDaddy employees so that they transfer access to certain accounts. Krebs also discovered that almost all the targeted accounts' emails were changed to privateemail.com.
GoDaddy and its easy to trick employees
This is not the first time when GoDaddy employees have been tricked into giving away sensitive information to cybercriminals. Earlier in April this year, a GoDaddy employee fell victim to a spearphishing attack leading to a compromise of their company account.
This allowed the attacker to access certain customer records allowing wide-scale manipulation of the settings for the domain names contained within those accounts. One of the major victims of the incident was internet escrow company Escrow.com whose homepage was defaced in the attack.

Is it OK to Walk Out of a Bad Interview?
Everyone has a ridiculous job interview experience to share. The latest one involved an interviewer who couldn't wait another minute for a cigarette, so she took the candidate outside so she could smoke during the interview—except the interview never really happened because she never asked any job-related questions.
I've been to a couple of interviews where I knew the job wasn't going to work out the moment I sat down in the office. And it wasn't because I knew they wouldn't hire me,
but because I knew I didn't want to work for them. One was simply due to the condition of the office (messy and dirty), while the other was due to the questions I was asked (completely by-the-book, no creativity or personality included).
What I really wanted to do was end the interview early and get back to finding a job I might actually like. But is that right? If you're faced with an interview for a job you realize you don't really want, can you excuse yourself and leave early? While every career adviser might have a different opinion, here's mine:
Yes! You can ditch early, especially if you've taken time off from your current job and the interview is doing nothing more than wasting your time.
We all have impressions of what a job is going to be like based on the description and our contact with the hiring manager. But if the office, interviewer, or interview itself doesn't live up to that impression, you have every right to dismiss yourself. But you have to do it politely.
There's no right moment to exit an interview early, but you can work a dismissal into the process. Once you know the job isn't for you, wait for the next question, pause, and politely explain how you don't feel the job is the right fit for you, and you'd like to not take any more of their time by continuing. They might ask why you've had a change in interest, and you can go ahead and explain your reasons.
As long as you excuse yourself politely, there should be no hard feelings or bad blood between you and the company. Just be 110% sure you never want to work there, or they may not take you seriously again in the future.
Employers are allowed to cut interviews short if they don't think you're going to work out, and you should have the same right. Your time is valuable, too. There's no reason to sit through an hour of horrible questions (or someone's cigarette break) once you've figured out there's no way in hell you'd ever accept a job offer from them. Cut your losses and head for the door.

How to Upgrade Your iPhone to iOS 13
iOS 13 is now available for iPhone and includes tons of new features, including a system-wide dark mode. Here's how to prepare your iPhone and install the new iOS 13.
Apple today released iOS 13 for iPhone. This is a big release and includes new features like Dark Mode, QuickPath typing, Siri improvements, Apple ID Sign-in, Memoji stickers, and a lot more. Here is a look at how to get your iPhone prepared for the update. Then install Apple's latest version of its mobile OS and get it up and running.
Will My iPhone Get iOS 13?
Note that the following iPhone models are eligible for iOS 13:
iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max
iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max
iPhone 8 and 8 Plus
So, it's the end of the line for updates for older iPhone models. If you are using an iPhone 6, 6 Plus, or iPhone 5S you will be stuck on iOS 12. It's also worth noting that the 7th generation iPod touch will get the iOS 13 update.
Back Up Your iPhone First!
As with all software upgrades, it's important to make sure you have your current data backed up. While iOS updates are generally smooth sailing, it doesn't mean it can't go awry. You probably already have your device backing up to iCloud. But you should do it manually one more time before installing the update. Head to Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Backup Now.
And since this is a major update you should consider backing up your device through iTunes or a third-party app to your computer so you have a local archived backup.
Clean Up Your iPhone
Major updates like this are quite large. This is a good time to clean up your phone and free up some storage space. Especially if you have a phone with limited space like a 32GB model. Go through your iPhone and delete old photos, videos, and apps you no longer need. Games take up a good chunk of space so get rid of the ones you don't play. You can always go back and reinstall them later after the update. Also, make sure to get delete that pesky "Other" storage category on your phone.
Install iOS 13 on iPhone
Once you have your data backed up and storage cleaned up, it's time to get iOS 13 installed. Make sure your phone has a full battery charge. Or better yet, just keep it plugged in during the upgrade. Then head to Settings > General > Software Update and tap on the Download and Install button. Type in your security code and agree to the EULA and you're on your way.
Now sit back and wait for a while as the upgrade process takes place. Remember that the phone will restart a couple of times to complete the upgrade. The amount of time it takes will vary based on Apple's server load, the model of your phone, and network connection.
Once the upgrade has completed, you will get a notification it's ready to go. You'll need to navigate a few initial settings screens. After that, you're good to go and start digging into the new iOS 13 features.
Apple's iOS 13 is a major update and includes several long-awaited new features. Namely, Dark Mode. But there is a lot to dig into here and enjoy after installed. It's also worth noting that Apple is releasing iOS 13.1 on September 24th which includes features that didn't make the 13.0 cut. It will also bring a host of fixes and overall system improvements to iOS 13.
Note that Apple Watch users are getting an update as watchOS 6 is rolling out today, too. And this is the first time the new version of iOS isn't going out to iPad users. You will need to wait until September 30th to get the new iPad-specific iPadOS 13.

Contrary to popular myths, a root canal is nothing that you should fear. Modern dental techniques, precision instruments, and anesthesia options make a root canal as comfortable as any common dental procedure. In fact, some patients sleep through root canal therapy!
Our dentists at Diamond Spring Dental Associates may recommend a root canal if your tooth has incurred internal damage to the pulp or the nerve. The procedure involves extracting damaged tissue and filling the root's canal with dental material. A root canal is an endodontic procedure that can save an irreparable tooth from extraction.
When is a root canal retreatment in Denville, NJ necessary?
We generally recommend root canal retreatments to patients who have infected tooth pulp and those who have severe damage to the tooth structure. Root canal is an ideal treatment to save the tooth through the removal of the infected pulp and filling in the empty root canals. Tooth extraction is always our last option and root canal is very effective in helping us in this endeavour.
There are a few symptoms that you should look out for that can mean that you have an infected tooth pulp. Feeling severe or unbearable pain when pressure is put on the teeth and having tooth sensitivity or intolerance to cold and hot temperatures might mean that you need a root canal treatment. An infected tooth pulp also causes the tooth to be discoloured and to feel tenderness and swelling in the gums surrounding the tooth. It is important to seek dental care when you experience any of these symptoms because if left untreated, the infection can extend to the bones and tissues surrounding the infected tooth and may lead to bone loss.
What is a root canal treatment like for patients in Denville, NJ?
Your dentist will request a dental x-ray to determine the extent of the infection prior to the treatment. A local anesthesia will be used to numb the area and an access hole into the tooth cavity will be created by drilling into the tooth surface. Using root canal files, your dentist will scrape the tooth cavity extending up to the roots. The tooth pulp and the infected tissues will all be removed and your dentist will make sure that no traces of the infected tissues are left to prevent any further damage. The open cavity will be sealed by your dentist and he/she may recommend other dental restorations such as dental crowns to help bring back the normal appearance of your tooth.
Patients should remember that the nerves function to give you hot or cold sensation. Taking it out will not have any effect on your overall health.
Have you or a family member been told that you need a root canal? Do you or a family member have a terrible toothache? If so call us today at (973) 810-5905 or book an appointment online for real answers and real relief! Diamond Spring Dental Associates serves patients across Boonton, Denville, Parsippany, Mountain Lakes, and the surrounding areas.

A year before he put a .44 Magnum to his head, American author and poet Richard Brautigan visited Amsterdam at the invitation of the One World Poetry festival, of which Dutch poet Harry Hoogstraten was an organiser. Brautigan (1935-1984) was already in a bad shape when he delivered a very brief performance at the festival and antagonised his audience. His alcohol addiction and years of depression were beginning to take their toll. Brautigan soon left for Mallorca but returned to Amsterdam a couple of months later, where he stayed in a hotel through January and February 1984, his wheels of creativity stuck in the mud of depression and addiction. Brautigan's mood only improved when Harry Hoogstraten looked him up and joined him in his drinking bouts. Together they explored the city of Amsterdam on foot, drank mescal and visited bookstores and markets. Hoogstraten even managed to shake Brautigan from his creative death and together they produced seven improvised drawings, which Hoogstraten kept in his archives after Brautigan left for Japan and put an end to his life later that year. René van der Voort's Counter Culture Chronicles has now dug up the seven drawings from Hoogstraaten's archive and published them as a limited edition of 35 copies.
This unique edition consists of a brown folder, signed and numbered by Harry Hoogstraten, with the seven Brautigan/Hoogstraten drawings laser printed on white paper, two 1983 colour photographs of Brautigan by Harry Hoogstraten, and an accompanying text by René van der Voort.

The Most Amazing Train Game To Hit Japanese Arcades This Year
Brian Ashcraft
PublishedNovember 8, 2017
Japan makes amazing train simulators. Densha de Go!, released in Japanese arcades this week, is no exception.
Japan Still Makes The Best Train Games
There is no competition, and no country is better. Japan is the unrivaled king of train games.
The game was announced last year, and it's packaged in a train-like cabinet. Inside, there are realistic controls, a touch screen and multiple monitors. It's a simulator, so the point is to conduct the train from one station to the next.
Here is a quick walkthrough, which shows off gameplay.
And a look at the whole cabinet and inside.
The first Densha de Go! was released in 1995. Since then, it's spawned a slew of realistic simulators, cool peripherals, and impressive arcade releases. All aboard!

Hi, I'm Mark Nicholson, a UK-based internet marketer and social media fanatic.
I am on a journey to reach my goal of complete financial independence based on passive and residual income from creating and selling information products online. When I first started this adventure I gave myself 5 years to achieve this; that was back in 2008!!! I have not reached my goal, yet.
Of course, that is a reasonable question to ask me, given the fact that at the time of writing this blog post, I am 3 years behind on my target year to attain this goal.
I am here to answer this rhetorical question, in order to help you. In fact the purpose of this whole blog is to help you, if like me you have chosen to go on a similar adventure.
Should you want to follow in my footsteps, I want to help you to avoid the 'pitfalls' and mistakes I made.
By the way, I am pursuing my quest not from pure greed; though I would like to have the 'six figure, laptop lifestyle' that we have all heard the so-called IM gurus tell us of.
Here's my reason … I reckon if I can become financially self-sufficient, which for me is enough to pay the bills, clear my mortgage, go travelling whenever I want, and to put enough by for my old age THEN I have less worry and more energy to help others do the same, and, also, have enough surplus wealth to contribute to my favourite humanitarian causes.
It's the old 'oxygen mask' story; if you've ever been an airline passenger, part of the safety drill is that they tell you in the event of an emergency you must put your own oxygen mask on before taking care of your children's safety. This is because you cannot help others, if you're not helping yourself first. This is not a selfish act, because once you have taken care of your basic needs, it gives you the capacity to help others.
This is the point I have reached, and I want to help you attain at least a modest income online. You will never here me use the word 'easy'. Like anything else in this world, you have to put in some work; sometimes you have to work 'hard' and put in the hours, and sometimes you have to work 'smart' and use your innate wisdom and so-called 'leverage' through joint ventures with others.
I believe I've learned enough myself to help you, while still finding my own way to advance.
I don't propose that I am better than you or some sort of expert in the internet marketing field, what I do hope is that over time you feel you can trust my integrity enough to perhaps listen to me once in a while. I genuinely want to help you on your way.
If you are new to internet marketing, I have a Facebook group just for you. This is for those who are completely new to internet marketing or who have a basic knowledge and want to learn more.
Get yourself an ethical and genuine mentor in whose steps you can follow; they are out there BUT you have to be extremely discerning because the water is infested with sharks.
You will need to invest some modest seed capital to get started; at least to buy a domain name, subscribe to web hosting, autoresponder etc.
Resistance will be your constant enemy; there will be times when you won't want to do the work. Do it anyway.
Know the difference between 'front end' and 'back end' products.
Give, give, give before seeking something in return. Particularly when using social media.
Start to build a list of interested subscribers from the 'get go'.
The money is in the quality of relationship you have with subscribers, not just the number of subscribers you have. People buy from people.
There is no such word as 'easy', you have to put in a lot of energy/time, but you can work 'smart'. No short cuts.
