Tombstones 'Year Of The Burial' CD/LP 2012
Spreading the spirit of Sabbath is now a global thing with countries as far as Norway producing hypnotic vibes that could make Tony Iommi and co. come out in a rash. After the surprise success of kind of super-group Sahg, it's Tombstones turn to prove that Scandinavia can compete for the heaviest riffs around.
Their latest and greatest release 'Year Of The Burial' is a consistent offering that brings to mind riff legends such as Sleep and Electric Wizard. Both bands are heavily worshipped by Tombstones and this gives you a clear example of how typical and to the structure their sound is, with a style that doesn't venture too far out of the doom spectrum.
This lack of boundary pushing is the most immediate problem with Tombstones, who will find it a hard job challenging being more than a typical doom band. However, this is not necessarily a terrible thing, with a growing amount of groove supporters looking for more of the same and not too much experimentation.
Another advantage to Tombstones is their arsenal of riffs, which are present from opener 'Unveiling.' This song also has one mean bass tone, containing more fuzz than Neil Fallon's beard and a healthy dose of groove which will appeal to those who spend their nights lighting up and watching old b-movies.
This penchant for writing effective jams is also complemented by how easy to digest Tombstones material is. 'Year Of The Burial' progresses with pleasant ease and has a decent enough level of staying power for return spins.
The LP's staying power largely comes from the tasteful level of variation the band display. From the gritty and uncompromising riffs of 'Quinessential' to the eerie and experimental vocals of the title track, Tombstones have created something which after a few listens reveals itself to be at least a noteworthy piece of work.
These Norwegians are clearly an enthusiastic bunch and it is much more accurate to label their output as passionate rather than lifeless. Whether thinking their heart's in the right place is a good way to judge a band is a grey area, but numbers such as 'Egypt' are an entertaining stab at the sub-genre if nothing else.
Tombstones have created an opus which definitely has more strengths than weaknesses. Their musicianship cannot be denied and their dedication to the riff is admirable but to enter the big league a more individual sound is a necessity.

But it's the Tories that seem keen on having this means-tested..
Does that alone make it wrong to do so?
Do you not think they might have an ulterior motive for wanting to stop people being given things as a basic right of citizenship?
Would you support wealthier people being barred from claiming unemployment benefits if they have savings, or being made to pay for NHS treatment?
It sounds to me like you're very keen on supporting wealthier people.
It's a couple of quid a week from each taxpayer that isn't getting spent on Trident. All of that money goes straight back into the economy, regardless of whether it's spent in Sloane Street or Green Street. Just as I'd never dream of telling an unemployed person how to spend their benefits, I'd never tell a middle-class mum how to spend hers.
But if it were child benefit, it wouldn't be "her" money. It would be the Government's money. If funds are set aside for a specific purpose and the recipients are using it for another purpose then that is, technically speaking, fraud.

Thank you for your interest in our country and our state. I am going to post your questionaire on our web site NevadaCan.com, look for it under the Openness in Government link with a link entitled Undecided Voter-Wooten.
Hello my name is Michael and I am currently an undecided voter and a blogger. I wanted to asked you some questions to share with my readers on my blog to help them decide on who they want to vote for this upcoming Primary.
1. Tell me a little about yourself and why should I vote for you?
I have written almost everything on this site. There should be enough information to make an informed decision. Politicians and celebrities are just people whose names a lot of other people recognize. They are no smarter or different than the millions of people who go to work everyday and whose names you don't recognize. I am trying to run this campaign in a manner I consider to be exemplary of what I want in people I could respect and vote for. Straightforward answers and rationales that make sense, a minimum of name calling and personal attacks, core values and positions that are based on those core values, are the primary attributes that I want in candidates and are what I am trying to demonstrate.
2. How would you help to preserve Nevada?
What is Nevada? Is it a place, a desert, a way of life, a culture and a people? Nevada is a lot of things, and while some things can be preserved, like open spaces and scenic beauty, everything changes. Stopping change is impossible. My focus is on preserving the freedom of citizens to make the changes they choose, not the ones governments or elitists would force upon them.
3. What would you do to get our state economy back on track?
The destruction of the national economy is overriding anything that any one state can do to recover individually. Any part of our economy that was running well and profitable has been regulated and taxed by greedy politicians seeking to appropriate the wealth that others had earned. My plan is outlined and the rationale explained in the Jobs link you saw on the first page. Once the national economy is allowed to recover, the states should be able to compare their activities in regulation and taxation with other states and determine what works best for them.
4. Do you support comprehensive immigration reform ? If not what plans do you in mind that could better immigration laws in Nevada?
There is little point in passing new laws if existing laws are not enforced. There is currently no bill offered to support or oppose. Immigration reform has become a euphemism for amnesty for people in this country illegally. The only "amnesty" that I could support would be to not incarcerate or permanently disqualify for immigration people who either turn themselves in for deportation or leave voluntarily and then apply for entry and legal status in the manner proscribed by U.S. immigration laws.
5. What plans do you on helping Nevada Veterans?
Veterans are a diverse group. My attorney is a Veteran, and he doesn't need any help. Some of the people I work with are veterans and they are doing fine also. My sister is a Veteran and she is helping me with this campaign. A growing economy, secure borders, safety from the enemies of freedom and self determination, opportunity to work and enjoy the fruits of those labors will help all Americans including our veterans.
The whole notion that government is a social charity needs to be rethought. Charitable activity is by definition voluntary. The federal government is physically too far away, too monolithic, in no way voluntary, and too inefficient to be involved in charity. The federal government has obligations that must be honored. One of those obligations is to the veterans. Certain things were promised them as remuneration for their service. The federal government is not always efficiently providing those things that were promised, such as healthcare for injuries received while in service to this country. It would help veterans if they didn't have to fight so hard to get what was promised them. The notion of "helping" them in general is to suggest that serving this country cripples people. Helping veterans beyond living up to the contract we have with them, suggest that they are a deprived social group in need of welfare. Service can be painful or even deadly, but welfare cripples the soul. I will not support more welfare, or turning veterans into a voting block to be purchased by the highest bidder.


There are a number of quality forums both here and abroad, and no matter what level your vaping journey is at, I strongly recommend you join at least one. Websites such as this one can only go so far, but vaping forums provide a plethora of additional information, guides, experience from real end-users, and not to mention an opportunity to have one's questions answered from multiple perspectives.
Vaper Cafe Australia is my first choice for forums, largely because I like the people, but it's also the forum utilised for the NNA AU, (New Nicotine Alliance) an advocacy group working to legalise nicotine for vaping in Australia. There's great support for those new to vaping too.
Aussie Vapers have more members, but for as long as I can remember it's been infected with malware and viruses. It's apparent that they've largely ignored this and it's been like this for almost 2 years. I believe that accessing it via mobile phones is safer but I like to use my PC.
Vaping in Australia is the newer home for Aussie vapers and appears to be safe, at least from my experience.
I believe it's the most common forum in the UK although I have never registered. Loads of useful info, however.
Due to the internet being global, it really doesn't matter what forum you join although there are certain advantages to sticking local. No matter which one you decide, please give back once you're up to speed. Knowledge is a wonderful thing and meant to be shared.

Q: DateFormatter() with double type seconds swift I am trying to convert date time taken from server to local time.
I am using DateFormatter(), and after research in the web, the format
server is sending looks like: "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss". However, the actual string
server is sending looks like: 2021-06-21T06:00:19.251588, where I guess seconds are given in detailed format. However, when I run it through the function to convert into local time, it return nil. Here is my code:
func utcToLocal(dateStr: String) -> String? {
    //dateStr is 2021-06-21T06:00:19.251588
    let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()
    dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"
    dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(abbreviation: "UTC")

    if let date = dateFormatter.date(from: dateStr) {
        dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.current
        dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yy.MM.dd"

        return dateFormatter.string(from: date)
    }
    return nil
}

Is there any chance I am using wrong dateFormat?

When max haste isn't a max priority.
It's no secret that this office is a citadel of the "more power is always better" motoring philosophy. It colors our test-car priorities and tints our comparo results. It's why we rush the latest Mini Cooper S to the test track ["Power Toys," May 2007] and treat the ordinary Cooper as an afterthought.
We make no apologies for these proclivities. But we do recognize that max haste isn't a max priority for everyone. And for those folks, the latest Mini Cooper is a lovely update on a lovable original: subliminally bigger, a little more powerful, and, remarkably, a little lighter.
The Mini is now 0.2 inch narrower. The wheelbase is still 97.1 inches, but the overall length gets an increase to 145.6 inches, a gain of 1.7 inches. The back seat is still suitable only for house elves, but the cockpit does feel a little less snug. Looks a little more refined, too, even if some of us carp about the toggle switches, the center-dash speedo, and the flimsy sunroof shade.
Although the exterior has been subtly reshaped, the most tangible update is what lies beneath. A 1.6-liter Peugeot/BMW joint venture Valvetronic DOHC 16-valve four replaces the previous Chrysler/BMW four, mated, in this tester, to a Getrag six-speed manual, versus the older Cooper's five-speed. The new engine's output-118 horsepower, 114 pound-feet of torque versus 115 and 111-isn't much higher, and at 2555 pounds, this Cooper scaled in just 36 pounds lighter than a test car in July 2002.
But all the little gains show up on the clocks: 7.7 seconds to 60 mph and 16.3 at 85 mph in the quarter-mile versus 8.3 seconds and 16.6 at 83 mph for that 2002 car. The EPA city fuel rating is slightly worse-27 mpg city versus 28 for the old car, but that's because the '08 EPA test is tougher.
So, it's a more desirable base Mini Cooper: riding smoother on rough stuff than the S, equally brisk in its responses, and just as impressive in braking performance. One cautionary note: At an estimated $19,000, the Cooper rates as a bargain. But at about $25,500, our test car was in Cooper S territory. Careful with those options boxes. For example, are you really willing to pay $950 for a satellite-radio outfit that supports Howard Stern? Didn't think so.


The Social Business Wales Awards, organised by the Wales Co-Operative Centre, help bring recognition for the excellence amongst the social business sector in Wales and create an opportunity for many different types of social business to come together and celebrate the successes and achievements of the sector.
Despite tough competition from a number of other innovative and inspiring projects, Spice South East Wales, won the Health and Social Care category through it's unique social currency model called 'Time Credits'.
Spice South East Wales was commissioned by Cardiff & Vale Area Planning Board (APB) in 2016 as the lead organisation to deliver the Time banking progamme to work with commissioned services to implement the scheme across Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan. The organisation primarily works with individuals, statutory organisations and community groups across Wales to find ways for people to give their time towards strengthening their community, and offers ways for people to be recognised for that contribution.
"We always believed that Time Credits would be a valuable intervention in substance use services, and it is great to see the Cardiff & Vale project get this recognition. Time Credits are becoming an important part of an individual's recovery journey in the region. We are excited to continue the development of this project and to help increase the amount of time being earned and spent in our wider community networks in the future".
Conrad Eydmann, Head of Substance Misuse Strategy and Development for the Cardiff and Vale APB said: "Time credits provide a unique opportunity to reward volunteering, encourage community involvement, and to break down some of the social barriers and stigma that surround substance misuse services. We achieve this by encouraging service users in recovery to earn credits by volunteering their time in a wide range of projects that benefit their community, and conversely, we encourage community members to earn credits by volunteering their time in substance misuse support services. Time credits are simple idea, but they work – this is proving itself through the growing network of spend opportunities across South Wales that includes sports matches, theatre productions and access to independent cinema".
Spice South East Wales will now go on to compete in the national Social Business UK Awards, which will be held on 24th November 2017 in London. Good Luck!

Flaurling je obec v Rakousku ve spolkové zemi Tyrolsko v okrese Innsbruck-venkov.

K 1. lednu 2021 zde žilo 1309 obyvatel.

Poloha
Flaurling se nachází v Inntalu (údolí řeky Inn) mezi Innsbruckem a Telfsem, jižně od Innu, na soutoku potoka Kanzingbach. Obec má rozlohu dvacet kilometrů čtverečních a leží v nadmořské výšce od 650 m v údolí řeky Inn (Inntal) do více než 2800 m na jihu. Asi deset procent území je zemědělská půda, čtvrtina je zalesněna. Čtyřicet procent tvoří vysokohorské pastviny a více než dvacet procent tvoří neúrodná vysokohorská půda.

Části obce
Obec tvoří části Flaurling-Dorf, Flaurling-Bahnhof s obchodní zónou a Flaurling-Berg na západním úpatí nízké horské terasy.

Historie
Kolem roku 580 osídlili tuto oblast Bavoři. První písemná zmínka o obci je z roku 763, kde je uváděna jako Flurininga - součást majetku klášterního kostela svatého Petra, který ve Scharnitz postavila freisingská diecéze. Název je složen z osobního jména Florinus s příponou -ing.

V době přepravy soli získal Flaurling na významu, protože se zde nacházel přístav pro převoz přes řeku Inn. Panovník Zikmund zde postavil lovecký zámeček a v roce 1479 jej daroval dvornímu kaplanovi Zikmundu Risovi. Lovecký zámeček byl rozšířen o knihovnu a kapli, které existují dodnes. V této době byl Flaurling sídlem farnosti, která spravovala vesnice mezi Zirlem a Telfsem.

V 16. století se obchod se solí stále rozvíjel a proto byla ve Flaurlingu postavena solnice (solní sklad), o kterou se až do 19. století staral solný mistr.

Flaurling je samostatnou obcí od roku 1816.

Znak
Blason: ve stříbře černovlasý obr trhající napůl rozpolcený červený kmen stromu.

Městský znak byl obci udělen v roce 1982. Vychází z mluvícího erbu Zikmunda Rise, který byl v letech 1479-1526 farářem ve Flaurlingu a mimo jiné nechal postavit zámek Ris (Risschlössl).

'It was big': Jaguars hold off No. 1 Johnston in nightcap, snap 3-game skid
June 25, 2019 by Dan Holm

Ankeny Centennial's Keaton Gray injured his throwing arm during Monday's doubleheader against the top-ranked Johnston baseball team.
The junior infielder was still able to turn a game-ending double play to give the No. 9 Jaguars a 4-3 victory in the nightcap, allowing them to earn a split of the twinbill after visiting Johnston won the opener, 12-1, in six innings.
"It was big," Gray said of the win that snapped Centennial's three-game losing skid. "We knew that Johnston was really good coming in, and we knew that we needed to get a win. Just having everyone into the game really helped a lot. Even the bench–even if they didn't play–they really did a lot for us tonight."
Gray went 2-for-3 and drove in a run for the Jaguars. He started the game at shortstop, where he made a perfect relay throw to catcher Ryan Vermeer in the fifth inning to cut down Johnston runner Caden Steck, who was trying to score the tying run on a double by Jacob Swansen.
"It was a very good throw–right on the money," Vermeer said. "It gave us a chance to win this game."
Leftfielder Derek Boike fired a strike to Gray, who was surprised when he saw Steck rounding third base.
"They were sending him all the way," Gray said. "I just gave it my all and hurt my arm a little bit."

Gray then switched places with second baseman Cory Prange in the top of the sixth inning after making a throw to first that teammate Trey Morris had to dig out of the dirt.
"I've got to thank Trey a lot," Gray said. "I skipped it over there and he picked it."
In the bottom of the sixth, Gray reached on an error with one out. He then tried to score an insurance run on a double by Gabe Monosmith, but was thrown out in a close play.
"The umpire said I missed the plate," Gray said. "I thought I got it, but it is what it is. It doesn't matter now–we got the win."
Vermeer pitched the final two innings in relief of Tyler Heinzerling to earn his second save. He gave up a one-out double by Peyton Williams and an infield single by Andrew Nord in the seventh, but the game ended when Nick Crandell hit a soft liner to Gray, who then made the short throw to Morris for the final out.
Vermeer was making just his fourth appearance on the mound this season.
"You've just got to trust your stuff and execute pitches and then trust that your defense behind you is going to make some great plays, like Avery (Gates) ran a ball down in center field and Keato with that double play at the end," Vermeer said. "We have a bunch of great fielders behind me."

Heinzerling (4-0) pitched five solid innings to remain unbeaten. He allowed three earned runs on five hits, walked three and had four strikeouts.
The Jaguars improved to 5-7 in the CIML Central Conference and 15-8 overall. Johnston's records dropped to 9-3 and 19-3.
"It was a really good win for us. We're going to build on this," Vermeer said. "We hit a little rough patch, but it just happens in baseball sometimes. It was a good win for us, but it's not the highlight of our season. We've still got things to do down the road."
Johnston used an eight-run fourth inning to break a scoreless tie in the first game. All eight runs were unearned against Morris (3-2), who had cruised through the first three innings.
The Jaguars committed six errors in the loss and had just four hits off two Johnston pitchers. Crandell earned the victory, recording four strikeouts over five scoreless innings.
Reece Anderson had two of the Dragons' five doubles. Steck knocked in three runs.

Which Players Will Fail To Make The Lakers Rotation This Season?
Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports
Lakers News: Jordan Clarkson Talks About Improving On Defense Struggles
Hannah Kulik
After an eventful offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers have started training camp in anticipation of the 2016-17 NBA season. There is excitement within the organization, spurred by the retirement of Kobe Bryant, the hiring of a new head coach who could not be any different from his predecessor, a group of young players who seem poised to take a leap forward, and select veterans who have something left to contribute both on and off the court. Players, coaches and fans alike are ready to move on from the losing atmosphere which has hung over the franchise like a cloud the past three years.
Of course, when the season begins reality will set in. For one thing, the Lakers are projected by most experts to win no more than 25 games. That would be an improvement over their 17-65 record last year, but it still means the team will lose two or three games for every one contest it wins, which over time will test the resolve of players and coaches alike. Another factor is that some players will have to deal with the disappointment of not making the regular rotation and seeing little playing time.
NBA teams carry a maximum of 15 players, but it is rare for a team's nightly rotation to include more than 10 players — on some teams, it is eight or nine. That means, barring injuries, at least five Lakers players expected to make the roster are likely seeing little playing time this season.
In recent years, it was relatively easy to predict which members of the squad would be relegated to cheerleader status. For example, last year, Robert Sacre, Ryan Kelly, Metta World Peace, Nick Young and Marcelo Huertas were destined to sit at the end of the bench. Some of the excitement this year stems from the fact that there are more possibilities to mix and match players, and it is harder to predict precisely who will not make the rotation.
Last year, for example, Huertas played very little most of the season. When he finally got a chance down the stretch, ball movement vastly improved on offense and a team starved for assists finally got some. He followed up his strong finish to the season with solid play in the summer Olympics. On a roster heavy with big men and light on guards, it is possible Huertas could surpass Jose Calderon to earn a spot in the rotation as the backup point guard on a second unit that includes Lou Williams, Brandon Ingram, and Larry Nance, Jr.
Last year, Roy Hibbert was the team's only true center who dressed for games and played regularly. Tarik Black and Sacre spent much of the season in street clothes while Brandon Bass, a forward, played backup center.
This year's squad is expected to have four centers, Black, Timofey Mozgov, Ivica Zubac, and Yi Jianlian. Many observers also expect that Larry Nance Jr. to see time at the five spot in a small-ball lineup. At least two of these players will end up with little (if any) playing time, but it is not easy to predict precisely who that will be and it is unclear if the coaching staff even knows at this moment. Mozgov is going to be the starter for sure, but who among the others will emerge as a part of the regular rotation remains to be seen.
Black and Luke Walton have a strong connection going back to Black's college days when Walton was an assistant coach and mentor, and the two became friends. Black was inexplicably ignored by Byron Scott, so he could easily have chosen to leave this summer in free agency, and the Lakers could easily have decided to let him go. Yet Black is back and with a very healthy salary increase. He has publicly stated that Walton promised him a fair shot to make the regular rotation. Based on all these factors, even in the face of stiff competition, one cannot ignore the possibility that Black will crack the rotation.
There was considerable surprise around the NBA when the Lakers reached all the way to China to sign Jianlian late in the offseason. He disappointed as a first-round draft choice and has been gone from the NBA for six years. But he was scouted heavily at the Olympics where he emerged as the third leading scorer among all players and showed great skill at hitting three point shots. If Jianlian makes his three-pointers on a consistent basis this fall and holds his own on defense, a seven-footer with that skillset is hard to ignore.
Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports
While it would be easy to assume that young Zubac is the odd-man out in his rookie season, if Walton is true to his word that playing time will go to those who earn it, it could make a difference in Zubac's case. He has received praise the past month on his zeal for playing defense and the new sky hook he has developed. Zubac looked like the real deal this summer and will be a fan favorite for sure, which helps from a marketing perspective. Mitch Kupchak keeps downplaying expectations for Zubac, but if he makes a case for himself in preseason, it will not go unnoticed.
It is easy to assume that Nick Young will be out of the rotation if he makes the team. The fact is, virtually everyone predicted he would be cut or traded but he is still on the roster and at training camp, which may infer the team has not given up on him. It could still happen, but if the Lakers were determined to part ways, there are valid reasons why it should have occurred by now. Young did not thrive in Byron Scott's system, whose old-school ways did not jive with Young's free spirit. There is a new young coach and a fresh system that may better suit Young's talents, and while it is a long-shot, it is not inconceivable that Young's shooting touch could return.
In Walton's system, it is critical to have players who can knock down outside shots when they are open. Anthony Brown's future depends on hitting those shots far more consistently than he has shown thus far in his brief career. Brown, however, has the potential to be one of the team's best perimeter defenders, so it is hard to give up on him. Minutes will be scarce at small forward since Luol Deng and Brandon Ingram play that position, but Brown could get a shot at the two spot, a position he often played in the Summer League. Lou Williams is a defensive liability, and his shots are often off the mark, so it is possible that if he falters, Brown could step into that role, but only if becomes the shooter the team thought it was drafting last year.
In the end, it is likely that the five players who will sit at the end of this season's bench will be Zubac, Black, Brown, Young, and Huertas. As the foregoing demonstrates, however, with a new coach and a fresh start, this list is not inevitable or cast in stone. Zubac or Black could leapfrog Jianlian, Brown or even Young could supplant Williams, and Huertas could beat out Calderon. Remember, it is not just a question of overall talent; it is how individual players complement the skillset of the others with whom he will share the court.
Part of the intrigue of this year's training camp is finding out the rotation that will be established by the coaching staff and who among the players fails to crack that rotation. A surprise or two is entirely possible.

Joey Barton ready to bring two players in from the cold to aid Bristol Rovers' relegation battle
Joey Barton has been impressed by the response of David Tutonda and Erhun Oztumer after individual discussions over their attitude to working their way into the Bristol Rovers first-team

After spending several weeks with their only playing time coming in the development squad, the likes of Erhun Oztumer and David Tutonda seemed to be peripheral characters in Bristol Rovers' relegation battle.
Playmaker Oztumer has played only four minutes of first-team action since Joey Barton's arrival last month, while wing-back Tutonda has not featured at all with the manager settling on a core group of players.
Both players, aged 29 and 25 respectively, have impressed at different points of the season, but both have suffered from Rovers' revolving door of managers.
However, Barton says they are on the route back into first-team contention – like veteran defender Mark Little who made his first League One appearance since September off the bench at Charlton Athletic on Tuesday – after discussions over their mental approach to the challenge.
"Everybody matters and everybody counts, I told everybody that on day one when I walked in the building," Barton replied when asked if the likes of Oztumer and Tutonda had a role to play this season.

Ian Holloway: Football without fans has made me question my own future in the game
"I've been in this game for a long, long time. People who are starting for you on day one, come the end of the season it's a completely different team usually.
"Everybody matters and those boys (senior players in the development squad) were explained to. When they didn't make the team or the squads, some of them were disappointed or down and it's natural to be that way, I don't expect them to be happy.
"Maybe they've thought the gaffer doesn't fancy me and I'm not going to be in his team, how am I going to help the club?
"They see, bit by bit, that we're men of our word. You see Mark Little coming back onto the pitch (on Tuesday). He was somebody on the periphery of the squad in the early parts, but his attitude was superb and he wanted to be a player and contribute.

Wales hero Joe Ledley signs for League Two club following unsuccessful Bristol Rovers trial
"He could have, with his CV and his career, not been fully committed to those (development squad) games because you're playing at Melksham Town, the pitch isn't fantastic and you're not playing in a challenge to you as a gladiator.
"It's easy for your attitude to slide. Litts got back in because his attitude has been superb at every junction."
Tutonda and Oztumer have started in under-23s friendlies against Exeter City and Bournemouth over the past few fortnight.
Barton watched the first game at Melksham, but intentionally did not go to the games since to see if players maintained their performance levels without him in attendance.
"Some of the other lads were good in the first game, but I wasn't at the second game purposefully," Barton explained. "I didn't want to put pressure on them and I wanted them to show what they can do when my eyeballs weren't on them.
"It's easy when the gaffer's watching you to run that bit harder, but the test of you is when no-one is watching, not when everyone is watching. Champions are made when nobody's watching, when nobody's in the gym with you, when it's not posted on your social media, that's when the hard yards are put in and when champions are made and forged.

"I always say to the boys, champions are made at home first. If you're not a champion in the house, how can you be a champion anywhere else?
"Those boys, in the second game, maybe weren't at the level required. Individually, I've spoken to them all and explained to them the pathway. How you find your way out of it, how you go from not being in the first team to getting on the bench and then trusted with minutes, and that gives you the opportunity to start and become a trusted, valuable player.
"That's a process you have to follow, and to do that you have to train superbly to be ready at every opportunity, because you never know when you will get your chance. You see UFC or boxing fighters, sometimes someone gets injured and they get a phone call. 'Do you want the title shot now?'
"If you get that, you've got to be ready. When that phone call comes, even if you're not ready to get those title shots or you're not the one everyone thinks should get the title shot, when the call comes and you get your opportunity to be a champion, you've got to be ready to take it. To do that, you need to be fit, you need to be mentally ready to go.

"Those boys had a little flat spot, but the response the other night when they played at Exeter City was first class. When I spoke to Manse (Lee Mansell), he said they were bang on it. Dave Tutonda, leading the young players, being a good influence. Oz, the same, after I chatted with them.
"Injuries from Tuesday night have presented opportunities to come into the squad and get back in the matchday experience. Opportunities are starting to unfold for these lads and they're going to come back into the squad, they're going to come back into the picture. It's up to them what they make of that."


LONG LEE clean-up volunteers have turned their efforts to an overgrown playground after tidying the Twines.
The new "Friends of the Cobbles" group uncovered paths, walls and a giant crab mosaic after blitzing the play area off Thwaites Brow Road.
The volunteers, led by Long Lee resident Paul Cook, pulled up their sleeves after working with town councillors and Bradford Council to improve the Twines when it was hit by a spate of fly tipping.
A Community Payback team is currently spending two days a week on major work to clear vegetation, soil and rubbish and return the cobbles on the Twines to their original state.
Mr Cook, who was also helped by fellow staff from Melia Powell Funeral Directors, said he gained permission from Bradford Council's parks department to clear dangerous bushes from the playground.
He said: "We've done the majority of the work and uncovered steps and that used to be there. Children can now go in there safely. We've had some amazing feedback on the difference we've made.
"There's still a lot of work to be done. Over the next couple of weeks hedges and bushes will be cut back. We still have to bag leaves and rubbish.
Mr Cook said he was now working with local councillors including Michael Westerman, Peter Corkindale and Brian Morris to find cash for new play equipment.
He said: "Where there should have been a footpath, it had become a grass verge. Now there's clear space where people can walk and where water can run down safely.
Cllr Morris this week praised the "fantastic" work of local residents and the Community Payback team in the Twines area.
In the original clean-up, residents filled 40 sacks with vegetation and rubbish from one section of Thwaites Brow Road.

34. Academic Medical Genetics – Dr. Patrick Frosk
March 31, 2021	Medical Genetics
Dr. Patrick Frosk
"The core of our specialty is being a physician for patients with very rare disease… We see patients from preconception to post-death… We cover all body systems… and we are involved in diagnosis…, preventative healthcare and ongoing management of illnesses for anyone with a suspected or known genetic disease."
Dr. Frosk on a career in medical genetics
Download Show Notes
Profile: Assistant Professor (Manitoba), Researcher (Manitoba); Clinical Genetics Residency (Manitoba), Post-doctoral fellowship in medical genetics (Calgary), MD (Calgary), Biochemistry and Medical Genetics PhD (Manitoba), B.Sc (Manitoba)
Pitch: Generalists in a very specific niche, able to see ultra-rare diseases and be the ultimate diagnosticians for a very challenging group.
Path: Re-focused on medicine after a PhD in Genetics and encounters with a Clinical Geneticist. Despite in-depth exploration of medical subspecialties, ultimately kept coming back to genetics.
Generalist – Every Age, Every System, Every Aspect of Medicine
Ultra rare diseases in patients from preconception to post-death.
Diagnosis, Prevention, Management
Curiosity, Puzzle-solving is needed for the diagnostician aspect of Genetics
Use pathophysiology and understand problems at their core
Doctors exist on the spectrum of both introverts and extroverts
Lack of studies of medical student perceptions of Geneticist – perhaps telling?
Response: Gaining more visibility but it is a blind spot in many students' medical education
Students often think of genetics as a lab specialty, despite there being no laboratory component.
In fact, geneticists are patient-first clinicians – manage, diagnose and treat.
Often think of them as pediatricians first, but in Canada, Geneticists treat all ages.
Master's or PhD in genetics not required!
Limited patient connections – Diagnose + Adios?
Patient-dependent, but often have long-term follow-up with families, rather than patients.
Some diseases with new therapies (e.g. SMA, metabolic disorders) often require ongoing genetics monitoring and diet management, especially as emerging therapies continue to evolve.
Entered university in science, but was not ultimately focused on medicine.
Unsure of medicine and feels that this limited his application to medical school, which was ultimately rejected.
Joined a microbiology lab and a genetics project for genome mapping, which became a PhD, at which point he collaborated with a Clinical Geneticist.
At this point pivoted towards medicine over becoming a scientist.
Naturally gravitated towards genetics, but kept his options open, hoping to sub-specialize and do research in specific genetic factors of disease.
Ultimately chose genetics in order to remain a generalist and be able to satisfy his curiosity and investigative nature, in a direct patient-contact setting.
Most geneticists work in academic centres, and thus join together into a group practice.
Other than clinical work, Dr. Frosk runs the residency program, with its associated administrative duties, and research (20%).
Most of his administrative tasks are placed on Monday and Tuesday to it, but clinical work typically burrows into all days of the week.
Clinical Work:
4-5 patients per half-day clinic – most appointments take 1+ hour
Connective tissue disorders, Autism spectrum disorders, immunodeficiencies, movement disorders
Afternoon typically works with genetic counsellors at different clinics (e.g. cardiology, ophthalmology, cancer) around the province, supervising assessments and plans.
Cardio clinics often see families of patients who have passed from sudden death.
Call – gets phone calls from positive newborn screenings, new diagnoses of genetic conditions and query congenital malformations. Can often counsel over the phone.
Schedule depends on group practice, type of genetics (general vs. biochemical)
Occasionally must go in for acute biochemical genetic disorders.
Personal Takeaways
Personal Interactions: Helping people through the most difficult and vulnerable situations, after they've been disappointed by wrong roads and false leads, and finally being someone who can solve their problems, or at least give them insight into them.
"One that sticks out, partly because it was early on in my career. I had a 6-month-old come in with status epilepticus. She had to be admitted to PICU for midazolam infusion – a complete medically-induced coma. The question asked of me was "Why?", which is usually the question people ask me. When I delved into the history, development seemed ok, but her head size was quite a bit smaller than what it should have been, and it was not compatible with what she had at birth. Over 2 months, it was becoming clear that it was a specific disease of the white matter and looked degenerative. Eventually, we diagnosed her with a condition called Vanishing White Matter disease, which unfortunately is universally fatal. It was a very tough time trying to counsel the family – we basically sat together and cried. Unfortunately, she ended up getting influenza, which accelerated the process even more. She passed away. At that point, the family had spent some time grieving, as did I. They did want to have more children. This was their first and they'd always wanted to have a big family. Since I knew what the genetic problem was, I could help them through that part. There's a few options that they had available to them, including pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, where you test the embryo during IVF. Other prenatal testing options are telling very early on in a pregnancy, and being able to mitigate it from there. The second time they tried, the baby was again affected, and they decided to end that pregnancy. The third time, that baby was unaffected. For me that was the rewarding part. It was a rollercoaster for me going through that with them and finally having a normal baby for them, and I felt so happy for them when I finally gave them that news."
Note: While we tried to keep these transcriptions as true to the speaker as possible, some dialogue is paraphrased and/or edited for easier reading.
Cataract Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy
Manitoba Hutterites are a commune-based group with a very strong founder effect (e.g. small gene pool), with limited allelic diversity.
Dr. Frosk is doing research on this fascinating gene pool as it is uniquely isolated and founded.
High prevalence of cataract disorders in juvenile onsets.
Dr. Frosk was able to do an in-depth analysis of cardiac, ophthalmologic and certain other genes.
They have diagnosed 25 patients with ultra-rare fibrotic cardiomyopathies, and they have been able to understand and manage this otherwise fatal disease.
Since they've discovered the gene, nobody has died from the condition
Congenital MARCH Syndrome
Met a family whose first child passed away because he was born with no kidneys and no brain. Second and third children had the same anomaly, after which Dr. Frosk became heavily involved.
He was able to isolate the specific genetic origin of the anomaly, a gene that had otherwise been unidentified. He proved it through animal model testing.
Published MARCH syndrome (Multinuclear neurons, Anhydramnios, Renal dysplasia, Cerebellar hypoplasia and Hydranencephaly).
Having proved existence of disease, the option for pre-implantation diagnosis now became available to the family.
There have since been more than 10 patients diagnosed with this condition worldwide.
Diversify your experience, even if you think you are set on one specialty – those experiences will be valuable in your application to residency and beyond.
Slow burn of enjoyment, every day he becomes more passionate about his specialty.
Make sure you choose a path that works for you in medicine.

You know those small things you can do that make a huge impact? Backsplash in a kitchen is one such thing. I can't take credit, nor truly call it a "small" thing since I only helped one of the evenings my husband did it, but I am truly loving the change.
The backsplash is called "Champagne Toast" and although it looks quite silver, its really more of a champagne color with rose gold (aka copper) tiles.
We want to paint the cabinets as well. We are still choosing. What do you guys think?
Hahah I suppose most look the same. . My favorite is the top one I think. But I also like the dark?
Like these posts? Check out our master bathroom redo post.
The backsplash is amazing. I'll be sure to take note of the name Champagne Toast. You really transformed the kitchen for the better. The old one was not my favorite either. My husband is taking our kitchen apart at the moment so you have given me some great color ideas to incorporate. Thanks again for the detailed post, keep it up!
Thank you for this comment! I really appreciate it. :) Sometimes I wonder why I'm blogging,but comments like this make me feel like I could be helping people!

A: Standing in an upright position beside the grave of the Prophet (peace be upon him) when greeting him with peace is not for the sake of paying salutation to measure against it the necessity of standing up when greeting him at any other place. Standing up in this case is merely remaining in the same posture that one ended in on arriving at the grave, walking on foot. It does not indicate assuming a standing position for it. This is the case when visiting any other grave. One greets the inhabitants of the grave while standing, if one arrives there on foot, and not for the sake of paying salutation. (Part No. 3; Page No. 9) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
The heavens and the earth were created for the Prophet: Is it true?

Q: Work around without using javascript object in this case I was used to do programming using python but I am using javascript for some project now. In python, OOP concept was little easy than javascript which I am reading right now. That being said, I am not so comfortable right now using javascript object and prototypes. In the meanwhile, can I achieve the following without using object? I am not a pure programmer (always took it as hobby) so please bear with me:
function func1(arg1){

does item..1..for eg...var result=arg1*2;
does item..2..for eg...var resultSq=arg*arg;
......
}

I want other function, say func2 which when calls func1; funct1 responds just by performing item...1 and returning the result.
In other words, I want to detect who called the function and have if statements to change the execution
Sorry if it is too simple.

A: Identifying who the Caller is:
<script>

function func1()
{
    if(arguments.callee.caller.toString().indexOf(" test()") != -1)
    //May be optimizable with a name property
    {
        return "I was called from test()";
    }

     if(arguments.callee.caller.toString().indexOf(" test2()") != -1)
    //May be optimizable with a name property
    {
        return "I was called from test2()";
    }

}

function test()
{
    return func1();
}

function test2()
{
    return func1();
}

alert(test());
</script>

Reference: How do you find out the caller function in JavaScript?
Passing an ID:
As the question is actually how to execute differently depending on who the caller is, you need to have an if statement, that checks what action should be executed.
function doSomething(actionNumber)
{

if(actionNumber == 1)
{
return 1;
}
else if(actionNumber == 2)
{
return 1;
}

//etc...
}

function2()
{
doSomething(1);
}

A: There are a number of patterns to create and handle objects, here is one that I use a lot.
JavaScript prototypal OOP
var ConstructFoo = function () { //capitalise constructor names
    var x = "my private variable";//remember, JS has FUNCTIONAL scope
    this.y = 10; //we can read and write to this outside of this function
}
ConstructFoo.prototype.barMethod = function () {
    return this.y * 10;
}
var bash = new ConstructFoo();//new keyword is syntactic sugar for creating a new instance
alert(bash.y);//will alert 10
alert(bash.x);//ERROR, this is undefined
alert(bash.barMethod());//will alert 100
var baz = new ConstructFoo(); //new instance, lets prove it
alert(bash === baz); //will alert false
bash = "";
alert(bash.y);//ERROR, this is undefined
alert(baz.y);//alerts 10

Not to be confused with a JavaScript object:
var foo = {
    funcA: function (params) {
       var bar = 2;
       //etc
       return bar;
    },
    funcB: function (param) {
        var bar = param * 2;
        //etc
        return bar;
    }
};

foo.funcA(7);//returns 2
foo.funcB(2); //returns 4

This is a static object.  You don't create new instances of it.  If you change foo.funcA elsewhere, it will affect all code using that function.

This is Rudolph's latest and most advanced model. It was developed and tested in conjunction with labs testing pharmaceutical grade sugars. These labs require precise temperature control yet still want flow through cell type operation. For sugar trade labs and contract work that demands the best and most advanced saccharimeter in the world.
This option is only suitable for air conditioned modern laboratories.
The 880T saccharimeter is a dual wavelength microprocessor based saccharimeter capable of measuring at both 589 nm and 880 nm. The 880 nm ICUMSA Approved near infrared wavelength allows measurement of dark sugar factory juices, while the AUTOPOL Automatic Saccharimeter Purity Mode allows simultaneous measurement and display of PURITY, BRIX and POL.
The most important feature of the AUTOPOL® saccharimeter models IIZ, 88o, 880T, and 880 PLUS are their ability to measure at two wavelengths: 589 nm and 880 nm (NIR). Select 589 nm for conventional analysis using chemicals or lead clarifiers, or select 880 nm for polarimetric sugar measurements in the near infrared (NIR). 880 nm is above the absorption level of most dark sugar factory solutions allowing measurement of filtered but non-lead clarified juices. The dark sample measurement bar gets darker in proportion to the darkness of the sample being measured. When the bar is completely dark the instrument has reached its measurement limit. The 880T / 4W AUTOPOL® saccharimeter offers 2 additional wavelengths to further expand measurement options.
The 880T saccharimeter offers Rudolph's exclusive TempTrol™ System which allows push-button temperature control of your TempTrol™ 100mm cell, 200mm cell or Quartz Control Plate. Set the temperature, push "measure" and walk away. The AUTOPOL V will heat or cool to a predefined temperature and then provide you with the result, all in one easy step.
The TempTrol™ System will accurately control your sample temperature to within ±0.2°C. This is particularly important for laboratory work when measuring pharmaceutical grade sugars.
Whether your sugar analysis requires a 25mm, 50mm, 100 mm or 200 mm cell, whether you use 1/2 normal (13g/100ml), 1/4 normal (6.5g/100ml) or full weight sugar solutions, the AUTOPOL® 880 and 880T saccharimeters provide the correct multiplier to display the reading as if the sample were prepared as a 1 normal solution in a 200 mm optical path-length cell.
TempTrol™ Automatic Electronic Heating & Cooling 18°C - 40°C - 880T and 880T PLUS only.

Parliament: Information from drug couriers helped arrest almost 90 traffickers: Shanmugam
An amendment in Singapore's mandatory death penalty regime gave the courts here discretion in handing out custodial sentences to drug couriers who provide substantive assistance in disrupting drug trafficking.PHOTO: ST FILE

SINGAPORE - Information from drug couriers have helped nab almost 90 traffickers, thanks to an amendment in Singapore's mandatory death penalty regime since 2012, said Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam in Parliament on Tuesday (April 4).
The change in 2012 - that gave the courts here discretion in handing out custodial sentences, instead of death penalty, to drug couriers who provide substantive assistance in disrupting drug trafficking - has been helpful, he said.
"Trafficking is a cold, calculated offence," said Mr Shanmugam, who called the death penalty an "an important part in our comprehensive anti-drug regime".
He was responding to a parliamentary motion tabled by Christopher De Souza (Holland-Bukit Timah GRC) on strengthening Singapore's fight against drugs.
Responding to nominated MP Kok Heng Leun, who spoke against the death penalty, Mr Shanmugam said: "See what happens in countries which have poor enforcement or have legalised drugs...They will lead to the loss of many more lives, and more tragedy."
Parliament: More students, professionals caught for drug use yearly: Shanmugam
Speaking on the domestic and international challenges in the fight against drugs, Mr Shanmugam said that Singapore is in a vulnerable position, being close to drug-producing countries.
Parliament: Misuse of Drugs Act should be regularly reviewed: Christopher De Souza
But a tough regime that includes the death penalty has helped prevent drugs from entering the country.
This comes as internationally, countries want to take a softer stance against drugs, using arguments backed by "pseudo-science" and glamourising the use of drugs.
Parliament: Friends of MP Intan's son abuse cannabis and offer drug to him
There is also pressure to adopt a harm reduction approach, said Mr Shanmugam. Such an approach is designed to minimise the harms associated with drug use.
He added that this was because countries have lost the fight against drugs and cannot control the situation. Many who push for such an approach are also driven by commercial interests.
Among the 11 MPs who spoke in support of the motion was Dr Tan Wu Meng (Jurong GRC), who said that Singapore can learn from the experience of other countries that have adopted a light-touch approach on drugs.
In the United States, where drugs have become entrenched, he said, deaths from drug overdose more than doubled from 2002 to 2015.
In Colorado, drug abuse has worsened since recreational cannabis was legalised in 2014 for adults, said Mr De Souza, who also called for a regular review of the Misuse of Drugs Act to ensure it has the "legal muscle it needs" to deter the demand and supply of drug offences.
DRUG CONSUMPTION

Police have questioned 12 people suspected to have played a role in the killing of Rongo University student Sharon Otieno.
Sources also disclosed that the suspect(s) could be transferred to Nairobi for prosecution due to the sensitivity of the case.
Officials said yesterday anyone who had been mentioned in the case would be interrogated. More people will be arrested this week as police seek to obtain samples for DNA analysis.
"The prosecution is likely to take place in Nairobi. It might be massive," said a senior official.
Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss George Kinoti yesterday said they would expose all the "dirt".
"As the plot thickens, I must pull all the dirt from under the rug. Whatever it takes to put the suspected killers on trial, I will spare nothing," said Mr Kinoti when asked whether police would transfer the case to Nairobi.
It also emerged that Michael Oyamo has told police that he, too, was a victim of kidnap and he had escaped from some abductors. This is contrary to initial reports that he was privy to the girl's kidnapping.
The personal assistant of Migori Governor Okoth Obado was arrested when he reported at Uriri Police Station that he had been kidnapped and beaten by unknown people. Police are yet to summon Mr Obado, who was said to be known to Sharon.
Yesterday, the governor's lawyer said he was ready and willing to appear before the DCI.
"He has not been summoned so far. The governor will only speak after he records any statements with the police if he is required to do so," lawyer Roger Sagana told The Standard.
Inconsistencies from one of the suspects, particularly on timelines around the killing, prompted police to detain him, according to sources.
The suspect filed the report last Tuesday afternoon, around the same time Sharon's body was discovered in a forest.
That would mean he made the report long after Sharon had been murdered.
The suspect told police on Tuesday he went to seek medical attention at Kisii Level Five Hospital, almost 60km away after his attack and several hours after Sharon had been killed.
He told police he left the hospital and went to the station to report the matter. But police detained him after realising his timelines were not adding up.
"There were discrepancies in the time he said he was in hospital. It showed he took 30 minutes from Kisii to Uriri, which is not possible," said an officer.
The suspect did not explain how he escaped from the alleged kidnappers.
The suspect's statement contradicted that of Daily Nation journalist Barrack Oduor, who reported that he and Sharon met Oyamo, who was meant to arrange some settlement on an affair involving the university student, but he alighted from the vehicle, leaving them with the abductors.
Mr Oduor said he jumped out of the moving car at Nyangweso market on the Homa Bay-Kisumu road and fled. He said he and Sharon were kidnapped moments after leaving Graca Hotel in Rongo around 7.35pm last Monday.
Four prime suspects are still at large and the search has spread to Nairobi where they are believed to be hiding. A team of detectives visited Kayole estate where some suspects could be hiding but no arrests were made.
The vehicle used by the killers is still missing.
Detectives said they had established a triangular communication between Oyamo, Sharon and other people who have not been arrested. They are also following leads that Sharon may have sent a distress SMS to, among others, Oyamo while she was in the hands of her captors before her phone was snatched from her.
But given initial reports that the kidnap victims' phones had been seized by their attackers, it raises questions how she could have sent a message while still with her captors.
Investigators are exploring whether the message was a decoy. Sharon's phone was switched off and it has not been recovered.
A postmortem conducted last Friday revealed that Sharon was stabbed eight times, after possibly having been gang raped, and her body sprayed with acid.
Oyamo is set to appear in court this morning to find out whether detectives should hold him longer or not. Police got a court order allowing them to detain him at Homa Bay Police Station as investigations go on.
The officers had asked the court to grant them up to 14 days but they were given three working days until today.

Ascutney Mountain Audubon Society
Weathersfield Heron Rookery
Ascutney Mountain Audubon Society (AMAS) first became aware of a small Great Blue Heron rookery located in a beaver pond in Weathersfield, Vermont, around 1985. At that time, there were four active nests. In 1990 nine nests were counted, increasing to a high of twelve in 1992. During the monitoring of this rookery over the years, AMAS learned that these herons are easily disturbed and will flush off the nest when approached within 200-300 feet, even when the monitoring personnel were screened behind the surrounding hemlock trees. Protection for this rookery, located on private land, seemed to be warranted.
In 1990, taking advantage of the relatively new Vermont Wetland Rules, AMAS petitioned the Vermont Water Resources Board to establish a larger buffer zone around the rookery. Vermont Wetland Rules automatically establish a buffer zone of 50 ft around any wetland, prohibiting development (including road construction) within that zone. AMAS, with the cooperation of the landowner, petitioned for a 300 ft. buffer zone around the section of the beaver pond where the nest sites exist. AMAS presented this petition at several public hearings and produced a survey map showing the edge of the wetland and the boundaries of the proposed buffer zone. In March 1992, the Water Resources Board granted AMAS' petition and established a 300 ft. buffer zone around the rookery portion of the beaver pond.
Following the high count of twelve nests (which fledged 38 young) in 1992, members of AMAS found that the nesting trees were beginning to fall over from rot (these are dead pines in standing water). In 1993, there were only six active nests remaining. It appeared that in order to keep the herons from abandoning the site, an artificial nesting site project was needed. Upon searching the scientific literature, AMAS found that very little had been done in providing such sites for herons, although much had been done for osprey. Researchers in Oregon and British Columbia provided information on work that they had done, and with this information, AMAS approached the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife for additional assistance. In the winter of 1993, again with the cooperation of the landowner as well as some funding by the Fish & Wildlife Department's Non-game Fund, three artificial nest sites were set out. One was a single pole with a platform, set into the ground at the edge of the wetland. The other two were tubular steel tripods with basket-like arrangements. These were located in the beaver pond during winter by working through the ice and embedding the ends of the tripods into the mud of the pond bottom. One of these tripods had two nesting "baskets."
In the spring of 1994, more trees had fallen, but a pair of herons accepted one of the artificial sites (the lower basket of the two-basket tripod). As soon as this was discovered in April, AMAS did not again approach the colony again until June 28, when the young were fully feathered and perched either at the edge of the nests or in the branches of adjacent trees. Five active nests were counted, and a total of 18 young, with three young perched on the edge of the nest in the tripod basket.
Obviously, AMAS' artificial nesting site project was a success, although somewhat limited. Research of additional literature on the subject indicates that a large number of artificial nest sites are preferable so that the herons have a wide choice. During the winter of 1994-5, an additional tripod was installed in the pond. In March of 1996, two more metal tripods were set out, through the courtesy of the landowner, and in March of 2003, an additional tripod was erected with the help of one of the landowners. This brings the number of nest sites available to the herons to 12, 11 on the six tripods and one on the pole.

Oct. 24 (UPI) -- Music superstar Billy Joel is a dad of three.
The 68-year-old singer's team announced on his website Monday that Joel's wife, Alexis, gave birth to a baby girl, Remy Anne, Sunday, Oct. 22 in New York.
"Alexis and Remy are doing well and everyone is thrilled," a statement reads.
Joel is also parent to 2-year-old daughter Della Rose with Alexis, and 31-year-old daughter Alexa Ray with ex-wife Christie Brinkley.
"Billy Joel and his 31-year-old daughter, singer/songwriter Alexa Ray Joel, were both at Alexis' side as she gave birth at New York University Hospital in New York," the statement says.
Joel's rep confirmed the news Monday, telling People, "Sunday night, Billy and Alexis Joel welcomed Remy Anne into their family." The singer had casually announced Alexis' pregnancy this month while discussing daughter Della with the Belfast Telegraph.
"This one is pretty good," he said of the toddler. "She sleeps through the night. I hope the next one will."
Joel married Alexis, 35, in New York in July 2015 after several years of dating. The couple "surprised guests at their annual July 4th party by exchanging vows in front of their family and close friends," according to Us Weekly.
