Museum L-A to celebrate #GivingTuesday
LEWISTON — Museum L-A will celebrate #GivingTuesday on Nov. 27 by raising money to create a School Field Trip Scholarship Program for 2019.
#GivingTuesday is a global effort to harness the collective power of individuals, communities and organizations to encourage philanthropy and to celebrate generosity. It follows the widely recognized Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping.
National studies show that field trips provide valuable reinforcement to classroom learning, getting students out to explore and encounter things in an authentic setting where they can have a more immersive learning experience.
"Trips stand out in a child's memory while offering a fun way to learn outside the classroom," said Kate Webber, director of Education & Outreach at Museum L-A. "If museums are only available to school districts with larger budgets and students whose parents bring them in their free time, the very students who stand to benefit the most from a cultural experience will miss out."
Donations will pay for students from local schools to visit Museum L-A. To receive the scholarship, interested schools will complete a short application. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, and the scholarship funds will be distributed until they are gone.
The museum's goal is to raise $2,000 which would pay for up to 500 students to visit Museum L-A throughout 2019.
To make a donation, visit www.museumla.org and look for the #GivingTuesday link or contact Kathy Becvar at 207-333-3881 or [email protected]
Museum L-A is in the Bates Mill Complex at 35 Canal St. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Special tour requests and large group tours outside of these hours are available by appointment. FMI: contact [email protected] or call 207-333-3881.

Bitcoin Mining Startup Envion Ordered to Close by Swiss Court
A court in Switzerland has ordered the closure of bitcoin mining startup Envion AG over concerns of poor corporate governance. The company raised $100 million in an initial coin offering (ICO) in January, but a succession of boardroom wrangles have led to a breakdown in its corporate structure, bringing operations to a halt.

Founding Partners Sue Each Other
Founding partners Michael Luckow and Matthias Woestmann have repeatedly gone to court to sue each other over allegations of subterfuge, which supposedly took place at the time of the ICO or immediately after, according to a Handelsblatt Global report on Nov. 28.
Among other things, Woestmann, who has since resigned as board chairman, "accused Luckow of manufacturing more coins than agreed on, so he engineered a capital increase that diluted Luckow's share," the paper alleged.
In the capital increase, Woestmann allegedly issued actual shares, rather than tokens, effectively diluting the 81 percent stake of Luckow and his partners to 31 percent.
Now, the cantonal court in Zug — Switzerland's cryptocurrency haven — has ordered Envion to shut down, citing its lack of a functional board of directors and "the complete lack of any auditing function." The company is to be liquidated, the court ruled.
The article quoted a Zurich-based lawyer, Urs Schenker, as saying that Envion would likely go under. Schenker said liquidation was "unavoidable" because the financial regulator appeared to have reached a decision to investigate the cryptocurrency miner.
The Lure of Riches
Envion raised about $100 million in an ICO that attracted 30,000 investors between December 2017 and January 2018, when the cryptocurrency gold rush was at its peak. Investors paid $1 for each token in the offer, lured by the promise of over 160 percent growth and Envion's low-cost approach to mining, using renewable energy. Today, the token is worth just $0.05, reports say.
However, relations between the founders went sour after the ICO, with accusations of cheating, causing operations at the company to come to a standstill. Handelsblatt Global reports that both Luckow and Woestmann are now under investigation by regulators in Switzerland and Germany.
It turned out that Envion's finances and operations were being run from Berlin by Luckow's company, Trado, even though the startup was registered in Switzerland. "Woestmann continues to blame Luckow, accusing him of not providing information about the ICOs. Luckow says Woestmann always planned to push the firm into liquidation, but he will fight it and believes the original concept can still work," the article said.
The Zug court ruling is not final, as either party can still appeal the decision. In the meantime, all that investors can do is wait and hope for the best, as failed ICOs have already cost investors billions of dollars in losses throughout the world.

to beat him across the head for his BAD movies.
THE COBBLER is a modern day fairytale, a parable of what it might feel like "walking a mile in another man's shoes." If that man was Adam Sandler. Uh-oh.
His regular shoe-stitching machine breaks down one night, so Max (Sandler), in desperation, is forced to finish a thug's shoes (Method Man as Leon) on an old-fashioned spindle bequeathed to his father decades ago (by an angel? devil? phantom?), abandoned in the basement.
Max puts on the finished shoes out of curiosity – and sees Leon looking back at him in the mirror! He slips them off. He's Max again. In these first scenes, we take it for granted that Method Man is Sandler – which is a testament to how good Method Man really is. In his thug character, he oozes gangsta, but when he is supposedly Sandler wearing Method Man's shoes, he loses all his swagger and menace – an astonishing transformation, physically and psychologically.
Seems that any client's shoes that Max runs through the old spindle take on those magical properties – of making the wearer look like the person who owns the shoes. And that compliment to Method Man should be extended to all the actors who take on the role of Sandler-in-their-shoes. The thought doesn't even cross our minds that they are actually other human beings who are Not Sandler!
Now the movie follows that flow chart of first treating this discovery as comedic, then dangerous, and eventually arcing to Max using the machine for something charitable.
Steve Buscemi is the barbershop store owner next door to Max's shoe repair shop, who offers sage advice when Max is hardly listening. Ellen Barkin, with fakes that enter a room before she does, is a ferocious gangster boss. Melonie Diaz is a community worker, who will become Max's love interest.
Needless to say, with his newfound metamorphosis power, Max unwittingly intrudes into other people's lives, with results that are funny (when he tracks Leon while wearing the shoes of a transvestite), quirky (when he is invited into the shower by a girl who thinks he is her boyfriend – soon realizing that he can't take off his shoes to join her, because he would revert back to himself!), or fatal – dabbling in Leon's underworld business.
The last time I cried during an Adam Sandler movie (not counting all the tears of pain suffered throughout his catalogue) was CLICK (2006), when the main character realized he had lost his family. Here, Sandler once again coaxes tears of empathy when he performs his charitable deed – for family. Max's old mother (Lynn Cohen) is lonely and forlorn without her deceased husband, so Max finds a pair of his father's shoes and appears to her one night as his father – her husband (Dustin Hoffman in a superb cameo) – in a poignant dinner date… that nonetheless edges towards creepy as the night wears on… I mean, is mum gonna put the hard word on "dad"?
THE COBBLER makes us believe in the power of storytelling again; makes us believe in the power of empathy; and makes us believe in the power of Adam Sandler.
Writers: Tom McCarthy, Paul Sado.
Starring: Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Melonie Diaz, Method Man, Ellen Barkin, Elli Meyer, Dustin Hoffman, Allen Lewis Rickman, Donnie Keshawarz, Sondra James, Kim Cloutier, Dan Stevens, Lynn Cohen, Fritz Weaver, Kevin Breznahan.

Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as limiting the number of visas that may be issued to natives of a foreign state or dependent area under section 1153 (a) or 1153 (b) of this title if there is insufficient demand for visas for such natives under section 1153 (b) or 1153 (a) of this title, respectively, or as limiting the number of visas that may be issued under section 1153 (a)(2)(A) of this title pursuant to subsection (a)(4)(A) of this section.

Q: onBeforeSendHeaders does not work with Chrome desktop shortcut A simple Chrome extension that enables Youtube TV on my Raspberry Pi 4: Source

const config = {
  userAgent: 'Mozilla/5.0 (SMART-TV; Linux; Tizen 5.0) AppleWebKit/538.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 NativeTVAds Safari/538.1'
}

function changeUserAgent (request) {
  for (let header of request.requestHeaders) {
    if (header.name.toLowerCase() === "user-agent") header.value = config.userAgent
  }

  return { requestHeaders: request.requestHeaders }
}

chrome.webRequest.onBeforeSendHeaders.addListener(changeUserAgent, {urls: ["*://*.youtube.com/tv*"]}, ["blocking", "requestHeaders"]);

manifest

However, when I create a desktop shortcut and open Youtube from it (with no other Chrome process running), the script doesn't load (which will redirect me to normal youtube.com) until I manually refresh the page.
My question is: How can I load the script before Chrome send a request, or right after the shortcut opened.

A: Solved it by not solving it. Modify --user-agent in shortcut properties instead, detail here.

Younger Patients with Newly-Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
This study is a phase II randomized multicenter study. Patients will be enrolled at time of diagnosis and will receive one or two cycles of induction chemotherapy. Patients, without indication of intensification by allogeneic stem cell transplantation and/or without HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen)-compatible donor, who attain a CR after one or two cycles of induction chemotherapy, will be eligible for the study Clofarabine / Intermediate-Dose Cytarabine (CLARA)versus High-Dose Cytarabine (HDAC)and will be randomized between 3 courses of CLARA chemotherapy and 3 courses of HDAC chemotherapy as consolidation.
We will compare efficacy and toxicity among the two arms.
Because of the results of our former trial (ALFA-9802) [Thomas, 2005], chemotherapy will be combined in each arm with G-CSF (Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor) given during each sequence of chemotherapy in order to increase the blast priming.
A morphologically proven diagnosis of AML according to the WHO classification, cytogenetically (standard karyotype, FISH-MLL) and molecularly (FLT3, CEBPA, NMP1) defined.
3. ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status 0 to 2.
- AST (Aspartate amino transférase) and ALT (Alanine Amino Transférase ) < or = 2.5N; total bilirubin < or = 2N (unless related to the underlying disease).
5. Cardiac function determined by radionuclide or echography within normal limits.
6. Women of child-bearing potential (i.e. women who are pre-menopausal or not surgically sterile) must use acceptable contraceptive methods, and must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 2 weeks prior the beginning treatment on this trial.
7. Must be able and willing to give written informed consent.
8. The subject must be covered by a social security system.
1. Patients with AML with favorable risk cytogenetics: M3-AML; CBF-AML including t(8:21), inv(16), or t(16;16) AML.
4. Prior treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy for another tumor.
6. Compromised organ function judged to be lifethreatening by the Investigator.
8. Uncontrolled active infection of any kind or bleeding. Patients with infections who are under active treatment with antibiotics and whose infections are controlled may be entered to the study.
10. Patients concurrently receiving any other standard or investigational treatment for their leukemia, with the exception of hydroxyurea.
1. Patients with either in first CR/CRp after the first induction course or in first CR/CRp after salvage therapy.
2. ECOG performance status 0 to 2.
3. AST and ALT < or = 2.5N; total bilirubin < or = 2N.
5. Patient without HLA identical donor.
6. Patients belonging to the intermediate 1 risk group (CEBPA+ or NPM1+ without Flt3-ITD) in CR/CRp after the first induction course. These patients will go out of the study and receive consolidation cycles based on HD-AraC (Aracytine).
7. Known central nervous system involvement with AML.
8. Uncontrolled active infection of any kind or bleeding.
9. Compromized organ function judged to be lifethreatening by the Investigator.
10. Patient with HLA identical donor identified.

Why Companies Shouldn't Fear Customers Reclaiming Their Own Data
Julie Wittes SchlackTwitter
(Fancycrave/Unsplash)
By now, you've undoubtedly received many emails assuring you of a retailer/publisher/political party/fundraiser's new privacy policies and either ignored them or clicked your way into acquiescence. You've acknowledged that your favorite websites use cookies for tracking purposes and once again surrendered to them doing it — anything to make that big, screen-hogging banner go away.
You've been subjected to this outpouring of concern for your privacy rights in response to the May 25th implementation of the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR).
Formulated by the European Union and applicable to any company that does business in any EU country, the GDPR mandates that individuals have four basic rights in relation to companies that collect data about them: the right to opt in to data collection, the right to opt out, and to easily accessible information as to how to opt out, and the right to be forgotten, i.e. to have their data removed from the company's database or Customer Relationship Management system (CRM).
Until about 15 years ago, the need for such protections may not have been obvious. While publications and mail order companies had rented their mailing lists for decades, receiving junk mail in your physical mailbox wasn't nearly as creepy, annoying, or flat-out foolish as being stalked by the ghost of past online interactions. Anyone who has ever been blasted with endlessly repeating ads for refrigerators after just making that once-a-decade purchase can relate to this tweet by English writer Jac Rayner, which went viral for good reason.
So the big question on the minds of advertisers, and perhaps ordinary people as well, is whether GDPR will have any effect in slowing the barrage of "personalized" advertising, based not on the publication you're reading or the show you're watching -- in other words, on the vessel for the ad — but rather generated by your behavior in the form of what you've searched for, looked at, or bought online.
I don't know the answer but think that perhaps this is the wrong question. What we should be asking is how to leverage technology to enhance the agency of the consumer, not the reach of the (ad) agency. Rather than panicking (if you're the advertiser) or celebrating (if you're the "target") over the fact that it may be more difficult for companies to dog your digital trail, the conversation we should be having is about how to invert the advertising power relationship altogether.
What we should be asking is how to leverage technology to enhance the agency of the consumer, not the reach of the (ad) agency.
In 2006, the always-prescient technology journalist, Doc Searls, wrote an article (and subsequently, a book) titled "The Intention Economy." Its premise was simple: Rather than advertisers trying to break through the noise in the hopes of enticing consumers to purchase something regardless of whether we want or need it, consumers should apply technology to find the vendors with the most attractive products at the point that we are actually eager and ready to buy. Rather than trying to attract our attention, companies should make themselves available to meet us at the moment of intention.
"The Intention Economy is about buyers finding sellers, not sellers finding (or 'capturing') buyers," he wrote.
Rather than searching for loopholes or workarounds to GDPR that will let them continue to follow us wherever we go, manufacturers and retailers should instead be asking how they can enable consumers to reach out to them in a more meaningfully targeted and personalized way. After all, as Searls notes, "…intent is the noun that matters most in any economy that gives full respect to what only customers can do, which is buy." So rather than simply trying to maintain the relevance and legality of their Customer Relationship Management systems (CRM), companies should complement them by investing in helping consumers build and maintain their own Vendor Relationship Management (VRM) systems.
With a VRM, consumers once again become the guardians of our own data, which we then selectively share with companies based on our needs. Here's an example of how Searls envisions it working:
"In the Intention Economy, a car rental customer should be able to say to the car rental market, 'I'll be skiing in Park City from March 20-25. I want to rent a 4-wheel drive SUV. I belong to Avis Wizard, Budget FastBreak and Hertz 1 Club. I don't want to pay upfront for gas or get any insurance. What can any of you companies do for me?' and have the sellers compete for the buyer's business."
In this scenario, the individual is choosing to broadcast a specific set of requirements to a subset of companies, who then have the opportunity to compete with each other to provide the most personalized and attractive solution. It's obvious to see how the individual wins. But so does the company, because now it is steered directly to only those consumers who are actively seeking its product or service. Of course, the company still needs to advertise, but it will be better served by doing it the old-fashioned way — by placing ads in publications and sites frequented by travelers — rather than by paying to follow around every set of eyeballs that's lingered over any online picture of a ski slope.
As of today, the American government has shown itself to be far less concerned with consumers' privacy than its European counterparts, and only those American companies doing business in the EU are required to comply with GDPR. But it's just a matter of time before spam-weary, hacker-averse Americans become more militant and savvy about how to reclaim their own data. And when they do, companies should embrace this revolt as an opportunity to change their most fundamental business practices in a manner that benefits both consumers and themselves.
It's one of the few win-win scenarios that capitalism allows. Who wouldn't opt in to that?

Judicial Watch: FBI Convened a Grand Jury to Investigate Hillary Clinton in 2016
By Debra Heine 10:25 PM on April 27, 2017
(Kevin Lamarque/Pool Photo via AP, File)
Judicial Watch on Thursday released new State Department documents that reveal for the first time that during the Clinton email investigation in 2016 the FBI convened a grand jury to investigate Hillary Clinton. According to a top FBI official, investigators were still unsuccessful in their attempts to obtain archived copies of Clinton's old emails.
"The FBI…obtained grand jury subpoenas related to the Blackberry e-mail accounts, which produced no responsive materials, as the requested data was outside the retention time utilized by those providers," FBI Assistant Director for the Counterintelligence Division E.W. Priestap wrote in a declaration filed Monday in federal court in Washington.
The FBI began its probe after it was discovered that Clinton had conducted official government business using an unsecured email server and email accounts while secretary of State. Her top aides and advisers, as well as former President Barack Obama, also used the non-"state.gov" email account to contact her and/or conduct official business. Clinton left office on February 1, 2013.
If Vote Were Held Today, Trump Still Beats Clinton
The documents include a declaration from Priestap, the supervisor of the agency's investigation, stating that the former secretary of state was the subject of a grand jury investigation related to her BlackBerry email accounts.
The declaration was produced in response to Judicial Watch's lawsuit seeking to force Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to take steps to "recover emails of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton" and other U.S. Department of State employees (Judicial Watch, Inc. v. Rex Tillerson (No. 1:15-cv-00785)). The lawsuit was originally filed against then-Secretary of State John Kerry. The Trump State Department filing includes details of the agency's continuing refusal to refer the Clinton email issue to the Justice Department, as the law requires.
In the filing Priestap declares under penalty of perjury that the FBI "obtained Grand Jury subpoenas related to the Blackberry e-mail accounts, which produced no responsive materials, as the requested data was outside the retention time utilized by those providers."
Judicial Watch originally requested the documents pursuant to the Federal Records Act in the spring of 2015, suing former Secretary of State John Kerry on April 30 after the State Department failed to take action.
Via Politico:
The new filing doesn't make clear how extensive the use of the grand jury was in connection with the Clinton probe. It's possible federal prosecutors issued the subpoena without any actual involvement by grand jurors.
Use of grand jury subpoenas — something lawyers call "mandatory process" — could have been a political cudgel for Republicans if known earlier, since that tool would indicate the investigation was criminal in nature and not simply an intelligence-focused security review, as Clinton aides often claimed.
"The FBI convened a grand jury to investigate Hillary Clinton in 2016. Why is this information being released only now?" said Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton. "And it is disturbing that the State Department, Justice Department and FBI are still trying to protect Hillary Clinton. President Trump needs to clean house at all these agencies."

Q: WebApi oData v3 Entity Data Model routing I have built MVC4 application and would like to add Asp.Net WebApi with OData v3 in separate Areas called Api but while routing with EF set I was able to see $metadata but could not get result from Get action.
If I press this url (http://localhost:1254/odata/$metadata) in browser I get following output.

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
Thank you.

A: Finally I found the answer as I was adding controller name manually and it was different to pluralised entity set 'NewsAnnouncements' that's why it was showing the error. I changed the controller name similar to Entity Set 'NewsAnnouncementsController' instead 'NewsController'. Everything is working like charm.
Correct controller should be look like
 public class NewsAnnouncementsController /*NewsController*/: ODataController
 {
        //
        // GET: /News/
        private SchoolEntities entities = new SchoolEntities();

        private bool NewsExists(string key)
        {
            return entities.NewsAnnouncements.Any(p => p.Id == key);
        }

One of the York USO hostesses shares memories
York USO canteen
I'm still getting responses to my recent York Sunday News column and related blog posts on the York World War II USO facilities and activities. Local artist Jean Fix shared that Margaret Sarah Lewis was her elementary art teacher. Lewis painted the murals that I understand are still visible in the building that was the USO canteen. As art supervisor for York City Schools, Lewis traveled from one school to another to present her lessons.
I also talked to my former neighbor, Muriel Smith. Muriel, now in her early 90s, worked in the office of the National Biscuit Company in York when she signed up with a good friend to be a USO hostess. Together they entertained servicemen, including serving food, at the York USO. Breakfasts included the few cereals they had to choose from at that time, just bran flakes, corn flakes and shredded wheat. Other food was simple but familiar, such as chicken salad, ham salad, egg salad and Lebanon bologna sandwiches, as well as hot dogs and fresh fruit.
The rules were strict, but the young women really enjoyed their time with the USO. Duties included attending dances at bases at Mechanicsburg, Carlisle, Indiantown Gap and even Ft. Meade, Md. Muriel said they sometimes wore evening gowns. The York USO newsletters at the York County Heritage Trust Library/Archives say that the servicemen requested that the hostesses wear evening dresses, which at first had been seen as being too frivolous for wartime. The hostesses were transported to the dances by bus, and everyone had to be careful to be back home by 11 p.m. Saturday evenings because of the blackouts.
Muriel had other stories to tell about the World War II era. She indirectly met her husband through another soldier she met at the USO, who invited her to Indiantown Gap Officers Dinner Club. When she and her friend got there, Sam, her future husband, and another soldier got to them first.
The two young women also volunteered to climb the observation towers, such as the one still seen outside Red Lion, to identify airplanes. They were armed with charts, binoculars and a walkie-talkie. They called in a suspicious plane only once, and it did turn out to be non-threatening.
The friends also took an occasional train trip to New York, and Muriel tells me that she was in Times Square on August 14, 1945 when the famous V-J Day kiss was photographed.
Then there was the foreign soldier that she didn't really believe was a Swedish prince…

Large ammonium nitrate stores in Australia cause local residents serious concern

2,700 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded, destroying vast areas of Beirut. As much as four times that amount is stored in a facility near Newcastle, Australia - Getty Images /Getty Images Europe
Residents in and around Newcastle, Australia, have expressed fears about the town's vast stockpile of ammonium nitrate – which could be almost four times bigger than the amount that exploded in Beirut.
Between 6,000 and 12,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate is stored at Orica's Kooragang plant in the New South Wales town. Lebanon's Interior Minister said 2,750 tonnes of ammonium nitrate exploded in the Beirut blast.
The plant is within 800 metres of residents in North Stockton and just three kilometres from Newcastle's central business district.
Chemical engineer and community campaigner Keith Craig told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that "many people would be killed and injured if we had an accident at Orica".
"It's a totally inappropriate place to have such a dangerous material produced and stored, and it's something we've been complaining about for many, many years," he said.
Orica told the ABC that safe storage of the chemical is strictly regulated and audited.
Explosives expert Tony Richards told the Sydney Morning Herald that there was enough ammonium nitrate stored at the plant to obliterate Newcastle.
"If that went off, people in Sydney [more than 160km away] would say 'what the hell was that?' And the answer would be: it used to be Newcastle," he said.
The below graphic shows the radius of the blast in Beirut.
While the ammonium nitrate in Lebanon is believed to have been left in an unsecured warehouse, a New South Wales Environmental Protection Authorities spokesperson told the Sydney Morning Herald that Australian storage facilities are subject to strict conditions and regular inspections to ensure compliance.
However, residents have noted that inconsistent standards saw one ammonium nitrate facility moved away from homes in South Australia over safety concerns, while in New South Wales a similar facility is within 500 metres of a nursing home.
A company in Queensland is currently facing a lawsuit over an ammonium nitrate "fireball" that injured eight people in 2014 when a truck transporting the material to South Australia exploded.

Skinny Meg: Getting Rid of Cellulite.
My favorite leg day shirt from Tees in the Trap, Monday for leg day I tried a few new exercises and I'm still feeling them today so I thought I'd share. Nothing crazy, in fact they are mostly light weight and high rep moves.
Warm Up: 10 squats followed by 10 jumping squats. Open and closed legged. Repeat 3 times.
Front kick with the cable machine.
Turn around and do the same for the back of the leg.
Then do the same for the outer thigh.
Medium bar for some front load squats, I always enjoy feeling this in my abs too! It's like double the fun in one move.
The last exercise you should go a bit heavier, challenge yourself. Dead-lifts into a squat, but up on a bench so you can go lower.
The reason weight loss can be so frustrating is because there is no right answer and so many variable can make you want to scream in frustration! How much should you eat? What kind of things should you eat? Should you lift weights or do cardio?
My number one priority when I decide on what to do is - will I enjoy it? I am able to stay dedicated because I actually enjoy exercise and most recently macro counting. I came across a few pictures in my time hop that has me second guessing my workouts a bit.
Lifting weights about 90% of the time now has totally changed my body, my arms, shoulders, abs, back all are much more defined than when I was mostly running. In all honesty I think my legs LOOKED smoother when I was running, I struggle with cellulite as I'm sure most of you do and running really helped to smooth that out FOR ME. It never went away, but it was noticeably better. My legs are stronger now, by far, and I'm a faster runner now, by far, but I think I'm going to experiment with adding in another run day - so 3x a week - for the next 12 weeks and see if I notice a difference.
It's all about experimenting with workouts and numbers until you find something that works, no one can tell you what's going to work for you - just go out and give it a try!
I always love watching your workout videos here and on Instagram--thanks!
The kicks you were doing are really helpful with running! I have weak hips and running caused me a lot of pain so I went to a physical therapist and that is one of the exercises he gave me. You can also kick across your body for your inner thigh. He said if I do nothing else regularly, do those and simple hip bridges on a stability ball. You're looking great!
This is great, thanks! My gym is unfortunately not a great place for no-judgment, but it's cheap, so until we finish building our house, it's where I'm staying. Anyway, I digress. Random question: how long are your workouts? That workout seemed short, but if I put those things together and think about it, it's enough to kill your ability to sit down for the next few days, and would take long enough if you were doing the right things. I tend to struggle in that I think a solid workout has to be a full 60+ minutes (probably because WW tracks in minutes, even though I know it's an imperfect system and I use it for food over exercise), but I'm trying to train myself that it's still considered a good lift day if it's fast, but efficient in the moves I'm doing and weight I'm lifting.
I normally workout for 90 minutes, this is just a short excerpt into what I would do at the gym :) A good workout is based on your effort not the time it takes!
You are such an inspiration to me! Thank you!!
Cleaning up my diet helps my cellulite. Mine got worse with IFFYM. :( I'd say you're looking pretty awesome. Do what you love!
It could just be age that is making your legs look different! I am in my late thirties and all of the sudden my body is changing! Your legs look great to me! Strong!!!
I think you look fantastic! One thing I have done the last few years that has transformed my legs is yoga and Pilates. They are much longer and leaner. Just an idea maybe to try.
I was with ya on those squats until you added the jump...then I'm like....forget it, I'm out. Question: The kettle ball weight thing looks cool...but exactly how much does gravity affect the effectiveness? Like say I get higher than high and do the same workout than if I was lowwww....will it give me better results? Like ya know...let gravity do the bulk of the work for me. Because if so, I'm all about that elevation. Monkey bars...here I come.
I agree running alone shed 3 inches off my thighs in just a couple months. I was shocked!! I wasn't really lifting during that time just training for my half.

Bush nominates new attorney-general
Michael Mukasey, a retired judge, is named as the next US attorney-general.
18 Sep 2007 03:30 GMT
Judge Mukasey, left, with Bush at
the White House on Monday [AFP]
Standing next to Mukasey in the Rose Garden, Bush went on to say: "He knows what it takes to fight this war effectively and he knows how to do it in a manner consistent with our laws and our constitution."
- Worked in federal prosecutor's office in New York, including under Rudy Giuliani, the current Republican presidential candidate and the city's ex-mayor.
- Nominated to the federal bench in 1987 by Ronald Reagan, then US president.
- Presided over case in which Omar Abdel Rahman, known as the "blind sheikh", and a dozen others were linked to the 1993 bombing of the US World Trade Centre.
Sources: Reuters, The Washington Post, The New York Times
Bush urged the senate to confirm Mukasey quickly.
If Mukasey is approved, he will take charge of a justice department where morale is low following months of investigations into the firings of nine US attorneys and Gonzales' sworn testimony on the Bush administration's terrorist surveillance programme.
Democrats say the dismissals were politically motivated.
Gonzales left after both Democratic and Republican legislators challenged his truthfulness and ability to do his job as the head of US law enforcement.
Mukasey said: "My finest hope and prayer at this time is that if confirmed, I can give them the support and the leadership they deserve.
"I look forward to meeting with members of congress in the days ahead and, if confirmed, to working with congress to meeting our nation's challenges."


Santander's fortunes took a tumble today as it revealed 40 per cent drop in UK profits.
In the first of the results from the UK banking sector, Santander's bottom-line profits fell 40 per cent to £993million after it put aside £538million to deal with claims from mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI).
The banking giant tried to look on the bright side, however, and pointed to its success in increasing support to small and medium sized firms.
The group's UK arm loaned £4.3billion to SMEs in the year to 31 December, which was higher than its £4billion target in the Project Merlin deal with the Treasury.
The improvement followed the opening of five new corporate lending centres, bringing its total to 28, as well as the hiring of an additional 200 SME business advisers and the roll-out of mentoring services.
But in the first of the results from the UK banking sector, Santander's bottom-line profits fell 40 per cent to £993million after it put aside £538million to deal with claims from mis-sold payment protection insurance (PPI).
Excluding PPI, underlying profits were down 6 per cent to £1.5billion as margins were squeezed by the costs of regulation, including the Government's bank levy, higher lending costs and limited demand for loans.
And amid expectations of another difficult year for the UK economy, the business warned that the margin squeeze was likely to intensify in 2012.
Chief executive Ana Botin described today's results as a solid performance in the face of challenging conditions and warned 2012 was likely to be 'a tough year for the UK banking industry'.
Santander said net customer lending of £4.2billion was driven by growth in SME loans and mortgages, suggesting that demand for personal loans had been weak.
The lender, which writes about one in six UK mortgages, added that the number of homes it repossessed rose to 10.5 per cent to 965, although this still represented only a tiny fraction of its stock.
The group expanded significantly in the UK following the acquisition of Bradford & Bingley, Alliance & Leicester and Abbey National and is in the process of buying 318 branches from Royal Bank of Scotland.
It plans to invest £490million over the next three years as it invests in IT systems to help it improve customer service and expand.

Weekly Brief: Ford vows to produce mainstream robot car by 2021
TU-Editor
A century ago Ford revolutionised the automotive industry with the advent of the assembly line and its first mainstream product, the Model T. Fast forward a hundred years and Ford is ready to pull off the feat again — this time with the introduction of the first mainstream autonomous car.
The company announced last week that it will have a self-driving car for the masses on the road by 2021. To get there, Ford is investing in or collaborating with four start-ups to enhance its autonomous vehicle development. The first of these is a $75M (£57.2M) investment in LiDAR maker Velodyne. Ford also says that it will double its Silicon Valley team to 300 people and more than double its Palo Alto campus to include 90 autonomous cars (up from the present 30).
What makes this remarkable coming from the mouth of a major carmaker, rather than a tech company like Google or Apple, is that Ford is promising a fully autonomous car without a steering wheel or pedals. The company won't divulge what the car will look like or what it will be called (Model A would be perfect, if Ford hadn't used it for the Model T's successor way back in 1927) but we do know that Ford is targeting the ride hailing and ridesharing industries.
The question now becomes which ridesharing company Ford is most likely to partner with. General Motors hooked up with Lyft earlier this year and just this last week Uber announced a major partnership with Volvo. Per the agreement, Volvo will build a base car that will be able to incorporate the latest developments in ADAS technologies, up to and including fully autonomous driverless cars. Uber will then purchase these cars from Volvo. Both are contributing a combined $300M to the project. The first generation will include the autonomous driving technology that Uber has been developing during the past few years.
Uber didn't stop there. It followed up its Volvo announcement with news that it had acquired start-up Otto, which was founded by for veterans of the Google self-driving car project and came out of stealth mode in May with a self-driving truck kit for $30,000. Uber didn't explain its intentions but just made a vague statement that partnership is key to advancing its self-driving car ambitions. It's hard to read this news as anything other than a clear signal that Uber wants in on the trucking industry. Otto will receive 1% of Uber, valued at $680M.
A decade after the Deep Water Horizon oil spill, BP is still synonymous with environmental neglect and degradation. Volkswagen is hoping to avoid a similar fate following its diesel emissions software scandal. Last month the company unveiled plans to build 30 new all-electric vehicles by 2025, at a pace of 2M to 3M a year. Last week the company announced that a prototype for the first of these cars will debut at the Paris Motor Show next month. The EV will be a fusion of the VW Golf and Passat and have a range of roughly 300 miles on a single charge.
AT&Ttook aim at its telecommunications rival Verizon with the launch of AT&T Fleet Complete. The GPS-based fleet management solution can be customised with a focus on fleet usage, asset tracking or dispatch communication and will debut as a programme addition to the AT&T Partner Exchange. Game on, Verizon Telematics.
Automaticlaunched its latest aftermarket device, a dongle that plugs into the OBDII port of any car manufactured after 1996 and has unlimited 3G connectivity. That means that it can track your car, alert you to diagnostic problems, analyse gas consumption and send automatic notifications to emergency responders — all without draining data or drawing WiFi from your smartphone. Retail for the Automatic Pro is $129.99.
Finally, don't you just love to time a green light right, accelerating off the block and through the intersection before the unsuspecting turtle in the next lane over has time to hit the accelerator? If so, buy an Audi. The company announced that starting in 2017, the Q7 and A4 models would be equipped with vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2I) technology that will reveal precisely when a light is about to turn green. V2I specialist Traffic Technology Services (TTS) is helping Audi with the solution, which will debut as part of the Audi Connect PRIME package.

Q: Visual Studio constantly including protractor typings from npm module folder in the project file My team and I are having a strange problem where although our node_modules folder is excluded from the project, the npm_modules\protractor\Typings folder keeps reincluding itself.
This wouldn't be a problem, we could live with it being there, but it not only does it include itself once, but every subsequent time it does it, it adds duplicate includes to the project file.
Is there anyway to absolutely force it to not include anything from that folder, or has anyone had a similar issue to this?

A: For anyone else finding this post, the issue is caused by NodeJS Tools for Visual Studio, and a bug with their Automatic Typings Acquisition.

Issue is logged on GitHub here and has been fixed in Alpha 2.

Baby loses his limbs to sepsis following an undiagnosed throat infection
Marie Claire Dorking
Yahoo Style UK 12 August 2019
Little Oliver is now recovering at home after losing his limbs to sepsis [Photo: Caters]
A mum has revealed of her heartbreak after her baby lost his arms and legs after an undiagnosed throat infection lead to deadly sepsis.
Abigail Wardle was twice told by doctors that her 11-month old son, Oliver Aisthorpe, might not survive the illness that was ravaging his body and to expect the worst.
Even after beating the infection, Abigail, from Cleethorpes, Lincs, had to endure the horror of little Oliver's leg self-amputating and coming away in her hand as she held him in his hospital bed.
But just four months on, having made an incredible recovery, Oliver is back at home, full of smiles and awaiting his first set of prosthetic legs.
Now, Abigail is speaking out about the family's ordeal in a bid to help other parents spot the signs of the potentially deadly infection.
Abigail first took her son to an out-of-hours GP on Saturday, March 16, when she noticed his soft spot appeared to be sunken and she worried he was dehydrated.
"Oliver had seemed a bit under the weather.
"But that night, he got more ill and seemed lifeless. When I moved him, it was as though his bones were aching,' she explains.
The infection caused Oliver's limbs to turn black and were eventually amputated by doctors [Photo: Caters]
Having been told by a GP to give Oliver fluids and Calpol she was sent home.
By the next day, however, he had deteriorated, so the mum once again took Oliver to see an out of hours GP in the hospital.
But on arrival, a nurse was immediately concerned and the infant was rushed through to emergency care where doctors began battling to save his life.
"Everything was a blur," Abigail explained of the moment. "I still had no idea what was wrong with Oliver, I was just trying to hold it together as they were putting him to sleep.
"I could hear a doctor on the phone to another hospital asking how to treat Oliver.
"His hand and feet had started to go purple, and I just remember thinking he must be cold and telling them to put some socks on him."
Even though she knew he had been put into a coma, Abigail was still unaware what was wrong with Oliver, until a doctor told them how poorly he was and a nurse burst into tears while talking to her and Oliver's dad.
"It was only then that I realised how serious it was," she says.
His parents were warned Oliver might not recover from sepsis [Photo: Caters]
Doctors discovered that sepsis had developed from an undiagnosed throat infection, although his mother said that Oliver had showed no symptoms of this.
They stabilised him but warned his parents that if his condition worsened, they would not be able to save him.
The sepsis had caused severe damage to Oliver's hands and legs, which turned black as the tissue died off.
As doctors waited to determine how much could be saved, one of his legs deteriorated dramatically, eventually coming away as Abigail an a nurse were trying to move him.

Eventually the decision was made that all limbs had to be removed.
"The limbs were heavy and uncomfortable - Oliver was miserable, I know it sounds like an odd thing for a mother to say but I was desperate for them to take them off.
"Once he had his limbs removed, he was like a different child - so happy and full of life, it seemed like a relief for him."
Miraculously last month, Oliver was discharged from hospital and is now adapting to life without his limbs.
Abigail has revealed how proud she is of her son and how happy she is to see him smiling at home, learning to roll and play with his toys.
"Some people might feel sorry for us but I feel like the luckiest mum in the world," she says. "I still have Oliver with us - he might not have any hands or feet but he is still my smiley, brave little boy."
His mum took Oliver to the doctors after he appeared to be under the weather [Photo: Caters]
His mother now wants parents and GPs to be aware of the possibility that a child's unexplained illness could actually be sepsis.
"I want his story to be used to help spread awareness and teach other parents and GPs who maybe don't have specialist paediatric training, about the signs of sepsis," she says.
"I had no idea how ill Oliver was but if he hadn't gone into hospital when he did, he wouldn't be here."
Ron Daniels, chief executive of the Sepsis Trust, said: "Oliver's case reminds us that sepsis can strike at any age, with often devastating consequences.
"Sepsis is a notoriously difficult condition to spot, and to do so relies upon health professionals being alert to the possibility of sepsis in any patient who is deteriorating without a clear cause."

Sepsis: signs and symptoms
Sepsis has been making headlines recently after it was revealed last month that patients' lives are being put at risk because of delays in them receiving treatment for sepsis.
According to research by BBC News a quarter of patients with sepsis have experienced delays in getting treatment.
If sepsis is suspected patients are supposed to be put on an antibiotic drip within an hour.
But the BBC found that there were huge variations between different hospital trusts, with a number failing to quickly treat most of their patients in one hour.
According to the the UK Sepsis Trust sepsis is a serious complication of an infection, that without quick treatment can lead to multiple organ failure and death.
Latest figures estimate that there are about 250,000 cases every year in the UK, and more than 50,000 deaths, that's around 5 people in the UK being killed by sepsis every hour.
According to the UK Sepsis Trust sepsis can initially look like flu, gastroenteritis or a chest infection.
But there is no one sign to look out for, and symptoms are often different between adults and children.

LEAPFROG PRODUCTIONS RELEASES CCAPTIONPRO FOR MAC OS X
5{ ductions releases CCaptionPro for Macintosh OS X. This software application allows users to add closed captions to digital video and MPEG-2 data files. CCaptionPro also decodes closed captions and generates subtitles for DVD authoring systems.
(PRWEB) February 8, 2003
San Rafael, CA-- February 4, 2003-- Leapfrog Productions announces the release of their next generation innovative closed-captioning software application, CCaptionPro for Mac OS X. CCaptionPro is a general purpose caption editing software program that adds closed and open captions to Digital Video, adds closed captions to DVD MPEG-2 video and generates subtitle files for DVD authoring packages such as DVD Studio Pro.
"We are excited about this product because it extends our existing closed captioning DV technology to include MPEG-2 for anyone editing video on a Mac running Mac OS X," says Jeff Schriebman, the creator of CCaptionPro. "CCaptionPro directly inserts closed captions into MPEG-2 video assets so that anyone using DVD Studio Pro can add closed captions to their DVDs. Also, the same closed captioning data can easily be used to generate DVD subtitles. With CCaptionPro, inserting open captions into a previously closed captioned video is a simple drag and drop operation."

City of Grand Rapids moves forward with plans for composting operation
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The City of Grand Rapids is bolstering its commitment to sustainability by developing a registered composting facility at its yard waste drop-off site. The City Commission this week approved an agreement with a third-party operator for the composting facility, which will be the only one in operation in the Grand Rapids area.
Under the agreement, WeCare Denali will provide compost operations and management services at the drop-off site at 2001 Butterworth St. SW. Operations are expected to start this spring.
The drop-off site will continue to accept only yard waste but will compost material onsite instead of having it transported it to another registered facility. Over the next six months, the City will evaluate curbside organics collection from residential and commercial customers.
"We are committed to improving the sustainability of our community, and this composting facility helps us do that," Public Works Director James Hurt said. "We know that roughly 40 percent of all the municipal solid waste generated in Michigan is organics and can be composted. Having a City-owned composting facility allows us to divert some material away from the waste to energy facility or landfill and to a better use that invests in our agricultural future."
If 10 percent of the material was diverted from the waste stream, the City could realize a potential savings in waste-to-energy tipping fees.
"This material is essential in making high-quality compost that can be used to support local farming and residential soils instead of being burned or buried," Hurt said. "Composting also helps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, including carbon dioxide and methane that are the result of burying or burning municipal waste."
The City has considered a composting operation at the 2001 Butterworth Ave. SW site since its purchase in 1992. The 76-acre property houses the City's yard waste collection and storage, disposal of utility dig up material, tree debris as part of the forestry division's removal program and wood chips, a tree grove and a fire training facility.
The City currently contracts with a private company to grind and haul yard waste material – brush, leaves, logs – to a registered compost facility 20 miles from Grand Rapids. With a 40 percent increase in yard waste material at the Butterworth site over the past four years, transitioning from a transfer station to a composting facility makes sense, James said.
"This turns an asset into something even more beneficial for our community," Hurt said.
The contract calls for WeCare Denali to provide up to 1,000 yards of free composted material to residents and up to 1,000 yards for City operations. Composted material can be used in yards and gardens. Details of this service are being discussed. Once finalized, the City plans to update residents on how they can access the free compost.
