Q: Bound of solutions by initial value of Navier Stokes equations For the mollified Navier Stokes equations: $$\partial_t u_{\epsilon} - \Delta u_{\epsilon} + \mathbb P \nabla \cdot((u_{\epsilon} \ast \omega_{\epsilon})\otimes u_{\epsilon})=0 $$ $$\nabla \cdot u_{\epsilon} = 0$$ $$u_{\epsilon} (0, \cdot) = u_0$$
where $\omega_{\epsilon}$ is a standard mollifier.
How can we derive $\|u_{\epsilon}\|_2 \leq \|u_0\|_2 $?

A: You note first that $$\text{div}(\omega_{\epsilon}\ast u_{\epsilon})=
\omega_{\epsilon}\ast\text{div }u_{\epsilon}=0,
$$
so that, at least formally,
$$
\langle(\omega_{\epsilon}\ast u_{\epsilon})\cdot \nabla u_{\epsilon},u_{\epsilon}\rangle_{L^2}=
\langle\partial_j u_{\epsilon},
(\omega_{\epsilon}\ast u_{\epsilon})_ju_{\epsilon}\rangle_{L^2}
=-\langle u_{\epsilon},\partial_j
(\omega_{\epsilon}\ast u_{\epsilon})_ju_{\epsilon}\rangle_{L^2},
$$
and thus
$
\langle(\omega_{\epsilon}\ast u_{\epsilon})\cdot \nabla u_{\epsilon},u_{\epsilon}\rangle_{L^2}=0.
$
The sequel is standard, you multiply in $L^2$
the equation by $2u_\epsilon$ and you get by integration in time for $t\ge 0$,
$$
\Vert u_\epsilon(t)\Vert_{L^2}^2+2\int_0^t\Vert \nabla u_\epsilon(t')\Vert_{L^2}^2 dt'=\Vert u_\epsilon(0)\Vert_{L^2}^2,
$$
yielding the sought result.


Animals play a main role in the life cycle of the wildlife. They are the one who keep the equilibrium of the nature intact. Animals had been man's ally in existence since the beginning of time. The humans have used them as animals for their faithfulness, as a medium for conveyance for their speed and in fights and war for their forte. Before the time of machines and skill, animals like horses, elephants, camels, etc. were used for loud goods and people from one place to additional. The speed of the animal is one of the main factors which decides its competence and chances to live in the wilderness. It is vital for catching prey and to save one self from flattering a prey. Here is a list of some of the wildest animals in the world.
It belongs to a family of bird known as Summary, and is also known as Spine-tailed Summary or Needle-tailed Swift. It mostly devotes its life in air and feeds on the bugs it catches in its flight. It is also known to be the bird with wildest speed in flapping flight, which can reach haste up to 170kmph (10mph). They are black in colour but the white gullet and white under tail, and are originate in eastern and northern Australia.
Peregrine Falcon is famous to be the fastest animal on earth, which has been logged to fly at a all-out speed of 389kmph (242mph). The bird obtains its maximum speed when it dives sharply from a great tallness to hunt its prey. However in its level aeronautical, it is not faster than White-throated Needletail. It can live in many habitats, therefore they are found ubiquitously on earth except the cold regions. It is also known to be the most extensively dispersed species in the world.


Soon 24? Congratulations! And it means you got your breakthrough at 23 already! Or so it definitely looks like. Magnificent accomplishment really :). And well deserved.
congratulation!! you must be feeling so overwhelmed now :D happy for you!


JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (Wednesday, March 21, 2018)—March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and Chautauqua County Executive, George Borrello, UPMC Chautauqua WCA, JAMA-GLPP, Cancer Services Program of Chautauqua County, Chautauqua County Health Network, and local county hospitals and health partners are urging men and women to get screened for colorectal cancer.
To get screened, talk to your doctor or call 1-866-422-CANCER (2262) to see if you are eligible for low cost, no cost colorectal screenings.
Chautauqua County health partners have committed to increase colorectal cancer screening rates as part of 80% by 2018, an initiative of the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable, The American Cancer Society, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The program aims to have 80percent of adults aged 50 and older screened for colorectal cancer by 2018.
To see if you are eligible for low cost, no cost colorectal screenings, call 1-866-442-CANCER (2262) to talk to someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, who will connect you to a Cancer Services Program near you. The call is free. You may all visit health.ny.gov and search by county.
To learn more about the symptoms, treatment, and who should be screened for colorectal cancer, visit New York State Department of Health. Women and men in need of treatment for colon cancer may be eligible for coverage through the New York State Medicaid Cancer Treatment Program (NYS MCTP). Coverage last the entire time an individual is being treated and includes medications.
Nearly 600 UPMC Chautauqua WCA residents received essential diagnostic information through screenings in 2017. Health screenings are a small part of the more than $892 million a year that UPMC provides in total IRS-defined community benefits, including more care to the Pittsburgh region's most vulnerable citizens than any other health care institution. Over the past five years, UPMC has dedicated nearly $4 billion to community-focused programs and services, making a substantial impact for the well being of the people who live, work, learn and raise their families in Pennsylvania. The complete UPMC Community Benefits Report is available online at upmc.com.

Le Parti fédéraliste européen (abrégé en PFE) est un parti politique européen fondé le  à Paris. Il est issu du regroupement du Parti fédéraliste de France et du parti européen Europe United qui avait une présence dans plusieurs pays de l'Union européenne. Il s'agit de l'un des premiers partis politiques à vocation européenne qui défend ouvertement le fédéralisme européen et qui n'est pas une coalition de partis nationaux préexistants.

En 2016, le bureau était composé du président Pietro De Matteis, d'un vice-président Geogios Kostakos, d'un secrétaire général Emmanuel Rodary, d'une trésorière Mariarosaria Marziali, de John Retetagos, Marco Marazzi et Michel Caillouët . À la suite de l'assemblée générale du , le bureau du Parti Fédéraliste Européen fusionne avec les mouvements citoyens Stand-up for the United States of Europe et USE Now pour créer Stand Up For Europe. De leur côté, les différentes associations nationales composant le PFE, décident de continuer leur action politique sous la bannière Parti Fédéraliste Européen. Yves Gernigon, président du Parti fédéraliste (France), devient alors leader du PFE.

Le Parti fédéraliste européen est composé d'adhérents venant de  européens, issus de la société civile et qui mènent de front leur vie professionnelle et leur engagement politique.

Projet politique

Le Parti fédéraliste européen a pour objectif l'avènement d'une Fédération européenne constituée d'États volontaires membres de l'Union européenne. Il a vocation à présenter des candidats à toutes les élections partout en Europe. Il est soutenu à ses débuts par des personnalités européennes de premier plan, comme Marco Pannella (ancien MEP, député, sénateur italien et collaborateur d'Altiero Spinelli), qui en a été membre.

Les membres du PFE militent pour la création d'un État européen supranational doté de pouvoirs souverains limités et doté d'institutions politiques : gouvernement, assemblée, Sénat fédéral représentant les États membres.

Principales propositions

Comme son nom l'indique, le but du parti est de faire de l'Union européenne un véritable État fédéral. Ce projet peut se réaliser éventuellement à partir d'un noyau de pays volontaires membres de l'eurozone. Cela implique :
 Instaurer une Constitution fédérale en lieu et place des multiples traités actuels.
 Élire un président fédéral au suffrage universel direct afin de représenter la fédération sur le plan international. Garant de sa constitution, il exercerait les pouvoirs du Conseil européen.
 Faire de la Commission européenne un véritable gouvernement fédéral.
 Renforcer les pouvoirs du Parlement européen. Le scrutin doit être régionalisé afin de rapprocher les députés européens de leurs électeurs, tandis que le Conseil de l'Union européenne doit être remplacé par un véritable « Sénat européen » (chambre haute), dans l'optique d'un système bicaméral.
 Approfondir la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne pour en faire une véritable Cour suprême.
 Renforcer les pouvoirs de la Banque centrale européenne pour lui donner les moyens d'agir face aux crises financières.
 Créer un État-major européen responsable de l'armée européenne commune.
 Approfondir la citoyenneté européenne pour en faire une véritable nationalité, indépendante de la citoyenneté nationale.
 Définir une politique étrangère et diplomatique européenne commune afin de mieux défendre les intérêts européens face aux autres grandes puissances (notamment les États-Unis et la Chine).
 Créer un budget européen pour financer des grands travaux et créer des emplois partout en Europe.
 Instaurer des autorités européennes de contrôles, indépendantes des États, dans les domaines de l'environnement, de la sécurité sanitaire et de la bioéthique.
 Les pays qui souhaitent rejoindre l'Union fédérale devront adopter la Constitution européenne pour conserver une certaine cohérence dans son fonctionnement. Cela n'exclut pas la possibilité d'accords de coopération avec des partenaires privilégiés.

Position sur l'Union européenne
Le PFE estime que l'essentiel des maux dont souffre l'Union européenne aujourd'hui est dû à la vieillesse et aux lacunes d'un schéma institutionnel qui a été achevé par la crise. Le Parti fédéraliste européen souhaite dépasser l'Union actuelle qui est selon lui « bureaucratique et antidémocratique ».

Stratégie politique

Le Parti fédéraliste européen a participé à de nombreuses élections, en tentant notamment la présidentielle française et les élections européennes.

The Endpoint Discovery Service (EDS) API provides a more advanced mechanism by which Envoy can discover members of an upstream cluster. Layered on top of a static configuration, EDS allows an Envoy deployment to circumvent the limitations of DNS (maximum records in a response, etc.) as well as consume more information used in load balancing and routing (e.g., canary status, zone, etc.).
Although it is possible to use CDS without EDS by specifying fully static clusters, we recommend still using the EDS API for clusters specified via CDS. Internally, when a cluster definition is updated, the operation is graceful. However, all existing connection pools will be drained and reconnected. EDS does not suffer from this limitation. When hosts are added and removed via EDS, the existing hosts in the cluster are unaffected.
The route discovery service (RDS) API layers on a mechanism by which Envoy can discover the entire route configuration for an HTTP connection manager filter at runtime. The route configuration will be gracefully swapped in without affecting existing requests. This API, when used alongside EDS and CDS, allows implementors to build a complex routing topology (traffic shifting, blue/green deployment, etc).
The listener discovery service (LDS) layers on a mechanism by which Envoy can discover entire listeners at runtime. This includes all filter stacks, up to and including HTTP filters with embedded references to RDS. Adding LDS into the mix allows almost every aspect of Envoy to be dynamically configured. Hot restart should only be required for very rare configuration changes (admin, tracing driver, etc.), certificate rotation, or binary updates.
The secret discovery service (SDS) layers on a mechanism by which Envoy can discover cryptographic secrets (certificate plus private key, TLS session ticket keys) for its listeners, as well as configuration of peer certificate validation logic (trusted root certs, revocations, etc).

Harvesting autogenous connective tissue grafts
PERIO FOR THOUGHT - January 10, 2022
From the very beginning of my path in Periodontology, I have been in awe of periodontal plastic surgery and, to be completely honest with you- loyal readers of the Herald- it is one of the main reasons why I chose Periodontology in the first place. At first, I couldn't really understand what seemed so magical, so right with this kind of surgery… Well, meeting and exchanging ideas with my colleagues Periodontists made me realise what truly inspired me: the possibility to recreate natural beauty and harmony. I love this touch of esthetics in the field of surgery. Managing thin soft tissues requires precision, a lot of care and attention. You can not be in a hurry. It's more like meditation… It's like waking up at 6 am and running a brisk 10k to kick off the day… more like a marathon than a sprint…
Moreover, periodontal plastic surgery is about creativity, "REALLY??"- you would ask. Yes, I can assure you that this surgery involves a creative process. In fact, there are ongoing debates on which technique to choose - coronally advanced flap or tunnel technique. It really depends on the case and on the skills of the surgeon - if you know one technique much better than the other, it will work better for you. Both techniques are brilliant. I guess here the creativity should step in. Knowing both techniques and adapting small details from each of the techniques for a certain situation and certain patient. For the best possible result.
But today I want to talk about another very important topic- autogenous connective tissue grafts (CTG) and the ups and downs of harvesting (yes, "all that glitters is not gold").
What are the main fears and considerations when harvesting from the palate? The first time I was harvesting from the palate, the main fear was excessive bleeding. I ended up taking a graft, which was too small and of poor quality. The next time I was more invasive and I received a message at midnight that the patient could not stop the bleeding. I was literally terrified! And finally, I was harvesting good grafts, the bleeding was manageable, but patients still complained about the pain. These are things that we have to ponder - how to harvest a graft of good quality, how to avoid excessive bleeding and cause less morbidity for the patient… In this surgery, overthinking is more than welcome!
First of all, what is the good quality of the graft? Usually, the goal is to have connective tissue made up of dense collagen tissue. Hence, it's essential to remember the histological composition of the palate (boring - I agree, but yet necessary part). In the anterior palate, we have more adipose and glandular tissue and less dense collagen tissue. While in the posterior palate the adipose and glandular tissue layer is much thinner or completely absent. Interestingly, K. Bertl (1) in her study observed that if a graft is taken with epithelium and then de-epithelialized, such graft contains a significantly higher proportion of fibrous connective tissue and less adipose and glandular tissue than a graft harvested from deeper layers. Even though harvesting the graft with epithelium causes palatal healing by second intention, harvesting the graft up to 1.5 mm of thickness causes less bleeding and less morbidity for the patient because the excision is shallow. Harvesting subepithelial CTG, primary wound healing should be achieved and this results in reduced morbidity.
Another very important aspect of harvesting is bleeding. How could excessive bleeding be avoided? Most important - the greater palatine artery and greater palatine foramen must be kept in mind all the time. L. Tavelli and co-workers (4) in the systematic review found that "the least distance from the greater palatine artery to the teeth was found in the canine area (9.9 ± 2.9 mm), whereas the greatest distance was in the second molar region (13.9 ±1 mm)." Based on these findings, they proposed a safe zone for palatal harvesting. But of course, when we need a larger graft and due to individual variations, excessive bleeding can occur. So what to do when a patient texts you in the middle of the night telling you that he can not stop bleeding? Because, despite all our overthinking, this can actually happen… One thing would be to control intraoperative bleeding, but it's totally different when the patient is at home. I haven't made a stent for my patient who had a problem with bleeding at night, so I told him to apply pressure to the area. After spending a few hours doing that, it finally stopped. These few hours were very long for my patient. For me too. What could we do better? (My strong inner voice never ceases to hover over me). Patients should be informed about that prior to the surgery, this way they could remain calm and know what to do in case bleeding occurs when at home. Also, surgical stent after harvesting from the palate is always recommended as it applies pressure to the wound and helps to manage intraoperative bleeding and to avoid postoperative bleeding.
Patients morbidity is also a big headache for each of us. A surgical stent here is a big help, too. It significantly improves patients comfort and reduces patient morbidity. Also, the appropriate donor site and harvesting technique for each clinical case should be chosen. When harvesting from the palate, a graft of uniform thickness should be harvested. Otherwise, the graft has to be trimmed and the wound is unnecessarily larger causing more morbidity for the patient - and again another headache for the Periodontist!
Maxillary tuberosity would be an ideal donor site as it consists mostly of dense and collagen-rich connective tissue and presents minimal risk of intraoperative and postoperative complications and leads to minimal morbidity. However, the amount of CTG that can be harvested from tuberosity differs among patients and often can be very limited. Another issue with a connective tissue graft from tuberosity is that it can lead to a hyperplastic response in some patients (2) (watch out: another possible cause of headache!) This might impair the esthetics and the second surgery might be needed. On the other hand, when soft tissue thickness is the primary goal, the connective tissue graft from tuberosity could be a choice (3).
The devil is in the details. Doing every single step of the harvesting procedure with precision and using such tools as surgical stents help us feel confident using autogenous connective tissue grafts from the palate and improve patients comfort. Hope you enjoyed our journey through periodontal plastic surgery - and, honestly, there's no way you couldn't… all the best with your surgeries!

Piedmont affiliate expands its reach in urgent care field
access to care117 Physicians309
A Piedmont Healthcare joint venture has acquired nine more urgent care centers, expanding its network to 26, with another set to open this week. Piedmont...
A Piedmont Healthcare joint venture has acquired nine more urgent care centers, expanding its network to 26, with another set to open this week.
Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet has purchased Summit Urgent Care, a move that is just one sign of the explosive growth of urgent care as a convenient, walk-in choice for patients with non-life-threatening conditions. Many patients using urgent care centers don't have immediate access to a doctor's office and want to avoid the expense of an emergency room visit.
The acquisition of Summit brings centers in East Point, Fayetteville, Marietta, Newnan, Peachtree City, LaGrange and Carrollton into the network of Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet.
Ron Lavater, CEO of Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet, says "having the right cultural fit is so important and, like ours, Summit's culture focuses on providing excellent patient care and outstanding customer service."
There are more than 9,000 urgent care centers in the United States, according to a report by the Urgent Care Association. That figure is up 6 percent from 2018. And the number of urgent care facilities that are run by hospital systems is also on the rise.
Lavater says the Piedmont urgent care network, a for-profit entity that's a joint venture with Atlanta-based Piedmont Healthcare, is the largest in the state by the number of patients it handles. Peachtree Immediate Care, which is part of the Emory Healthcare Network, has a larger number of urgent care centers.
Health systems that offer urgent care are expanding access for their patients, says Chris Kane, a consultant with Progressive Healthcare.
Fifteen years ago, many health systems avoided offering urgent care centers because they didn't want to offend local physicians who saw the urgent care business as competition, he says.
But that fear, Kane says, has evaporated for several reasons, including more public demand for urgent care, which also takes pressure off overcrowded emergency rooms.
Kane also points to changing attitudes among patients, who are no longer so locked in to a single medical practice.
"In accessing health care, many younger adults prefer the transactional approach with 'on demand' primary care, with no expectation that the patient will establish a long-term relationship with a specific physician or practice,'' he says. "Many people use urgent care to complement their established physician relationships. For example, a person may use an urgent care center for a strep or flu test if immediate access to their physician is not available.''
Hospitals have moved into urgent care to prevent their insured patients from drifting away to alternative sources of care, says Dr. Ateev Mehrotra, an associate professor of health care policy and medicine at Harvard Medical School, according to an April article in Managed Care magazine. Hospitals also want to keep these patients so they can retain the patients' electronic health record data, Mehrotra says. If patients get care elsewhere, those records could be lost. "That's really a quality concern, but it's an important one," he says.
Urgent care centers differ from retail or walk-in clinics in supermarkets or pharmacies. Such clinics offer services for conditions generally less serious than those handled at urgent care centers or ERs, such as uncomplicated minor illnesses and preventive care such as vaccinations.
Retail clinics "are more narrow in scope,'' Lavater says, while urgent care centers can do more.
"We have on-site X-ray, labs. We have providers who can handle a broader range'' of conditions, he says. He notes that only about 1 percent of patients who arrive at the urgent care centers are referred directly to emergency rooms.
Urgent care centers are staffed by many physicians, nurse practitioners and physician assistants who formerly worked at ERs, Lavater says. By working in urgent care, he says, "they don't have to run a practice.''
Urgent care centers are open 7 days a week, generally 12 hours a day, Lavater says. "It's more cost-effective than going into the ER. It's certainly more efficient.''
He points out that nowadays, "consumers are more price-sensitive'' about health care, because many have high-deductible insurance plans and pay routine medical bills out of their own pockets. So the price of urgent care is an attraction.
The Piedmont urgent care network does not offer uncompensated care, Lavater notes.
For self-paying patients, visits range up to $250, with many services priced much lower, according to a Piedmont Urgent Care by WellStreet website.


Skin Care with Ross: Product Pick: Sunscreens for every skin type!
Not all sunscreens are made equally. When choosing a sunscreen, you have to consider how the texture will work with your skin type and weigh out the benefits of irritating ingredients verses adequate UV protection. Generally speaking, higher SPF sunscreen (SPF 30+) will cause more irritation without adding significantly more UV protection. Below you can match your skin type with the appropriate product! Additionally, many of the options below contain skin beneficial ingredients like antioxidants to keep your skin healthy while in the sun.
A sunscreen with a lightweight texture will be best for you. These products are AMAZING, you won't even know you are wearing sunscreen (especially the one for your face)!
The most options exist for people with dry skin not prone to breakouts. An emollient moisturizer with sunscreen will be perfect, I recommend these products that also contain antioxidants!
Now that you have a better understanding as to why certain types of products are better for each skin type, you will be able to protect your skin from UV rays on a daily basis and feel comfortable doing it!
I hope this helps a lot!
Thank you for the info about skin care products. It really helps me a lot on what skin care products will I'm going to purchase.

I have only skin, is that product can work for me, anyone has any experience as i want proven results, because i trying different things from a long time, i also have appointment with a beauty surgeon, if this product can work for me i can delay my appointment to try out this product.
No doubt these are some valuable tips, but i would say one should give priority to visit a dermatologist or Proktologe. Once i suffered from skin disease and i went for checkup to a Proktologe in Düsseldorf and i became alright after a one week treatment.

Assassin's Price by L.E. Modessit, Jr.
Six years have passed since the failed uprising of the High Holders, and the man behind the conspiracy is where the rex and Maitre Alastar can keep an eye on him.
Charyn has come of age and desperately wants to learn more so he can become an effective rex after his father—but he's kept at a distance by the rex. So Charyn sets out to educate himself—circumspectly.
Killing Is My Business by Adam Christopher
Another golden morning in a seedy town, and a new memory tape and assignment for intrepid PI-turned-hitman—and last robot left in working order—Raymond Electromatic. But his skills may be rustier than he remembered in Killing Is My Business, the latest in Christopher's robot noir oeuvre, hot on the heels of the acclaimed Made to Kill.
NEW IN PAPERBACK:
Red Right Hand by Levi Black
Charlie Tristan Moore isn't a hero. She's a survivor. Already wrestling with the demons of her past, she finds herself tested as never before when she arrives home one night to find herself under attack by three monstrous skinhounds straight out of a nightmare. Just as hope seems lost, she is saved by a sinister Man in Black, dressed in a long, dark coat that seems to possess a life of its own and wielding a black-bladed sword in his grisly red right hand.
But her rescue comes at a cost. The Man in Black, a diabolical Elder God, demands she become his Acolyte and embrace a dark magick she never knew she possessed.

Das Weimar Institut für geistes- und zeitgeschichtliche Fragen e.V. (meist kurz als Weimar Institut bezeichnet) ist ein islamischer Verein mit satzungsmäßigem Sitz in Weimar sowie einer Außenstelle in Stralsund.

Gründungsvorsitzender war 1995 Rechtsanwalt Andreas Abu Bakr Rieger, Herausgeber der Islamischen Zeitung sowie von 2011 bis 2014 Autor und Mitgesellschafter des Magazins Compact. Seit 2001 führt Andreas Dreyer den Vorsitz. Der Verein gehört  dem Islamrat für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland und der  Murabitun-Bewegung von Abdalqadir as-Sufi an. Es besteht vorwiegend aus Konvertiten und ist nach Einschätzung von Ursula Spuler-Stegemann  eng mit der Islamischen Gemeinschaft Millî Görüş verbunden.

Nach eigener Darstellung auf der Website (Stand: April 2017) ist die Arbeit des Vereins entsprechend dem Satzungszweck gekennzeichnet durch "Aufarbeitung und Darstellung des Verhältnisses der europäischen Kultur- und Geistesgeschichte zum Islam, kulturelle und soziale Integration von traditionellen Muslimen mit Migrationshintergrund und Flüchtlingen, Angebote religiöser sowie sprachlicher Ausbildung für Muslime und Nichtmuslime, Dialog zwischen dem Islam und anderen Religionen sowie Förderung des Dialogs zwischen Muslimen und Vertretern der Mehrheitsgesellschaft im Allgemeinen sowie Förderung kultureller und sozialer Projekte für Muslime und Nichtmuslime".

Laut einer Antwort des Landtags Mecklenburg-Vorpommern im Februar 2017 auf eine Kleine Anfrage wird der Verein als islamistisch eingeschätzt und seine Tätigkeit in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ebenso wie auch die von ihm in Stralsund betriebene Moschee vom Verfassungsschutz Mecklenburg-Vorpommern beobachtet. Die Landesregierung verwendet den Begriff "Islamismus", um Bestrebungen gemäß  Absatz 1 Nummer 1, 3 und 4 des Landesverfassungsschutzgesetzes zu bezeichnen, die sich auf den Islam beziehen.

Springboard is an online school for learning 21st century skills in fields like data science, UX design, digital marketing, and business analytics. We've served thousands of students around the world through a combination of expert-curated curricula and one-on-one mentorship.
Springboard's digital marketing bootcamp focuses on teaching students the skills needed to get a job in the sector.
Become a UX designer in six months, job guaranteed! If you don't land a job within six months of graduating from this intensive user experience course, your tuition will be refunded.
Fast-track your machine learning career through our mentor-guided, hands-on AI / machine learning course—the first to come with a job guarantee.
Get a job, or your money back, through Springboard's mentor-guided online bootcamp. With our job guarantee, if you don't land a job within six months of graduating, your tuition will be refunded.
Our mission here at Springboard is to enable lifelong learning for our students. We take that mission to heart, and are always looking to make our courses even better. Building on student and mentor feedback, combined with industry research, we did a complete revamp of the curriculum to create a brand new UX Design Course.
For three years in a row, Glassdoor has named Data Science one of the best jobs in America. IBM is predicting demand to grow by about 30 percent by 2020. However as demand grows, the talent supply seems to lag behind.
It's no secret that data science is a great field to get into. The question is, how do you get started?
Ever wondered which would be a better learning experience: enrolling in an online bootcamp and working 1:1 with an expert mentor to build job-ready skills? Or simply traveling the globe and experiencing new cultures? What if you could do both at the same time?
I really enjoyed the mentor aspect, he grilled me on understanding the concepts and it's come in handy a lot down the line.
It covered all the fundamental techniques of data science, machine learning, and data management in Python and SQL, and made sure you understood them. The project-based assignment system really improved my skill in implementing the methods.
I've taken a lot of MOOCs and I'd say this was the best. The only con was the price. $500/mo is steep, but I got a scholarship that made it cheaper.
"Great support and resources for learning UX"
"Springboard is setting the pace for a new wave of learning online environment! UX Design Programme rocks!"
Springboard had an overall great introductory course. I was pleased with the thorough curriculum. What truly made the difference was the mentor. If all of the mentors were as professional, knowledgeable, and personable as mine than I have no doubt that Springboard Intro to Data Science is a correct choice for many beginners. To add to this I will be enrolling into the Intermediate Data Science- Python course because Springboard was such a quality experience.
I loved being matched up with a mentor, and she kept me accountable on our weekly calls. If it weren't for her encouragment, I don't think I would've finished the course. She was so knowledgable about the industry.
The only downside with this program, was that the cost was misleading. I thought the course was $1500 for the 3 months.....but it took me like 8-9 months to finish, and i didnt know I was going to be charged $500 monthly until i finish the course. i think they need to do a better job of explaining that. And also, I'm a single mom with 2 kids full time, and working full time, so finishing in 3 months was not very realistic.
"Great UX experience. Loved the course"
"Great course for learning UX methodology "
The course was a good exercise to learn about all the step of UX design thinking. It was helpful to have a mentor who you can review your work and discuss your goals to make sure they keep you on track and give insights into achieving the goal.
"affordable price and great experience"
I attended the springboard data science career track. I chose it b/c it's much cheaper compared to other bootcamps (almost half the price). The most rewarding part is the mentorship and make sure you are connected to a mentor which you like. The level of expertise of mentors vary in their network and you will have to be proactive in reaching out to student adviser if you don't like your mentor. The curriculum is very organized and covers the majority of things you will need for a entry data scientist job. But I end up taking extra MOOC to go deeper.
"Springboard - A Positive Experience"
"Great experience, learned a lot"
"Grew and solidified my UX skillz"
Springboard acted exactly as its namesake for my career in UX Design. While I have years of experience in digital media design, I felt lacking in specific knowledge surrounded user experience and user-centered design. Springboard's modules were logical and helpful. The self-paced nature of the course was perfect for me (plus I got to pause billing for a month while I got married). The mentor-led model was really the bread and butter, as connecting with real industry professional added so much value to my experience with the course and UX Design in general. The support team was great, office hours were fun, honestly highly recommend. Take 4-6 months to go through the course - it's well worth the investment!
"My experience of the Springboard data science bootcamp"
"UX Design Course - Easy to digest and very comprehensive "
I began my UX Design course in early November and finished in late March. The course content was very comprehensive and diverse. I worked full time and traveled often during my course and was able to finish within a reasonable time frame. The course projects were extremely relevant to my final capstone project which made very simple to cut and copy work into building a portfolio. I am very impressed with my portfolio and would recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn a new skill set or change careers.
"Perfect way to switch career"
"Jump start your UX career"
"Springboard Data Science Career Track Review "
"Look closely at this one"
Everyone has different needs, so definitely make sure to choose the right bootcamp for you. I'm fairly certain that Springboard will at least be in your top three, and for lots of people, it's #1.
Why would you NOT choose Springboard?
- If you absolutely need to have an in-person experience (they may have an on-site, I don't remember).
- If you don't want a 6-month bootcamp (they probably have shorter ones, I don't know).
Why would you choose Springboard?
Springboard's average rating is 4.77 of 5 based on 269 reviews.

Nicotine Replacement Therapies (NRT) come in a range of products and in varying strengths. They contain pure nicotine without the most damaging part of a cigarette, the tobacco. It's the tobacco smoke which contains the 4000 toxic chemicals, tar and carbon monoxide which cause ill health and premature death. NRT has been rigorously tested and holds a medical licence to be used by anyone 12 years or older.

Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are devices that deliver nicotine to the user by heating and vapourising a solution that typically contains nicotine, propylene glycol and/or glycerol, plus flavours. As there is no combustion involved with the operation of electronic cigarettes, there is no smoke. In August 2015 Public Health England stated that electronic cigarettes are 95% less harmful to your health than normal cigarettes.
We are happy to give you with the same 12 weeks behavioural and motivational support if you're smoking and want to use electronic cigarettes to stop. You can use NRT (mentioned above) at the same time. We cannot however provide or prescribe electronic cigarettes.
It can be hard to stop smoking when you're pregnant because your metabolism is changing. However it's really important to stop. Smoking whilst pregnant can lead to ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight, cot death, stillbirth, attention deficit disorder and many other illnesses and diseases.
If you're expecting to go into hospital for an operation giving up smoking will help decrease your risk of complications, improve recovery & healing and help you leave hospital sooner. Hospital environments are totally Smokefree and this is soon to include all areas of the hospital grounds. Download our Stop Before Your Op and Get Well Sooner .


Josh Malerman is the author of the novels Birdbox (nominated for both the Shirley Jackson Award and Bram Stoker Award®) and Black Mad Wheel, and his most recent book from Earthling Publications is a fragmented novel called Goblin. I was fortunate enough to receive an Advance Uncorrected Proof to read and review.
Why am I reviewing this? Well, Josh is an all around nice guy, and he happens to write incredible fiction. I adored his debut novel, Bird Box, and highly enjoyed the next, Black Mad Wheel (although I love the Brazilian title Red Piano (Piano Vermelho) perhaps more than I should). I have also had the opportunity of publishing a few of his shorter works, including "The Bigger Bedroom" in Chiral Mad 3, and his Stoker-nominated dark sci-fi novelette "The Jupiter Drop" in You, Human. And later this year, Dark Regions Press will be publishing Bird Box Special Edition, which I had the pleasure of designing inside and out, and which contains a new tie-in novelette called "Bobby Knocks" (pre-order for the deluxe hardback edition has since sold out, but copies of the 500 signed / numbered edition are still available).
So what is Goblin? At first I thought the book might be about goblins, something tongue-in-cheek, something not-so-Malerman, yet I was quickly pleased to discover Goblin is the name of a small town in which all six of the linked / intertwining novellas take place. In Goblin it rains, unrelentingly, and surrounding the town are the terrible North Woods, as green as the book's cover, and living within the town limits is a great jelly bean assortment of odd characters.
A Man in Slices starts things off, about a young man in a love so deep he sends body parts through the mail to his girlfriend. This is followed by Kamp, a ghost story, of sorts, the title of which is the main character, who lives in a hollowed-out skeleton of an apartment and sleeps on a Plexiglas bed in fear of nightly visitations. Happy Birthday, Hunter! centers around a meat-themed birthday party for a man addicted to big-game hunting, with all the town invited, and his fascination to take down the endangered Great Owl of the North Woods. In Presto, a young boy learns real magic from a magician calling himself the Roman Emperor. The penultimate story, A Mix-up at the Zoo, is perhaps my favorite of the six, in which parallel stories about Dirk Rogers, who works at both the Goblin Slaughterhouse and the Goblin Zoo, clash during his emotional breakdown caused by working such odd jobs. Finally, The Hedges, probably my second favorite tale, is about Goblin's biggest tourist attraction, a seemingly never-ending hedge maze crafted by a man's struggling with loss. Each of these stories mesh, and are a hoot (I couldn't help myself, since the Great Owl plays a big part in all of this).
Some of the most brilliant novels are titled after main characters, and Goblin is no different. The most addictive character, perhaps, is Goblin itself … a fun little town.
Goblin is available for pre-order from Earthling Publications (October 2017), and features beautiful cover artwork (pictured above) by Allison Laakko, an introduction by James A. Moore, and interior artwork by Glenn Chadbourne. You can find the pre-order page by clicking any of the Goblin links on this site, or by clicking on that glorious cover.

It's time to get even more connected with Cadillac, as they step up their in-vehicle connectivity with the announcement of two additional systems; OnStar 4G LTE and the CUE Collection suite of applications. These two systems put Cadillac on the radar when it comes to cutting-edge hands free technology. The 2015 ATS Coupe will be among the first Cadillac models to be equipped with the new technology.
Let's start with OnStar 4G LTE. With a faster and more reliable connection, this system puts other 3G connectivity systems to shame. Cadillac's option includes a built in connection which allows up to seven devices to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot.
OnStar 4G LTE also powers CUE Collection, a new in-car app marketplace that will come standard on most 2015 Cadillac models with CUE infotainment. The app marketplace will be accessible through an icon on the eight-inch touch screen display, where apps can be organized, added and deleted.
Cadillac CUE is referred to as the centerpiece of the ATS Coupe and includes new content such as the Text-To-Voice smart phone feature, which, with a compatible smartphone, will read incoming texts aloud and respond with a pre-set automatic message.
Staying connected with Cadillac means a safer driving experience while staying in-touch and informed. Look for OnStar 4G LTE and CUE Collection to be available as the 2015 model years roll out this fall!

DANVILLE, Ky. (Feb. 24, 2019) - A three by Michael Barry with two seconds remaining lifted the Sewanee men's basketball team to its first-ever Southern Athletic Association (SAA) Men's Basketball title. It is the first league championship in men's basketball overall since 1997. The Tigers, who were seeded third in the tournament, topped host and top-seed Centre 62-59 inside a full Alumni Gymnasium.
Sewanee, 22-6 overall, earned the league's automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament and will make its first appearance in the Big Dance since 1998. A back and forth game throughout, Centre, rallied back to take a six-point lead, with 1:43 to play, after Perry Ayers hit a jumper.
However, on the ensuing Tiger possession, Luke Smith of Sewanee hit a deep three to pushed the deficit back to a possession. Sewanee tied the contest at 59-59 when guard Hunter Buescher hit a three.
From there, Tucker Sine of the Colonels missed a jumper that was grabbed by Smith. That would set up the drama before the buzzer after Sewanee called timeout with five seconds remaining.
Despite the loss, Centre, who could receive an at-large bid into the NCAA Tournament, will await its fate with a 23-5 record.

Peaches Geldof Dies Aged 25: "Unexpected And Sudden"
By Lauren James in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 07 April 2014
Follow Peaches Geldof
Peaches Geldof Bob Geldof Paula Yates
The mother-of-two and daughter of Bob Geldof has reportedly passed away.
Peaches Geldof has been found dead at her home in Kent today. Aged just 25, the mother-of -two and daughter of Boomtown Rats rocker Bob Geldof was reportedly pronounced dead at the Wrotham address by South East Coast Ambulance Service. Police attending the scene have described Peaches' death and "unexpected" and "sudden."
Pictured Just Last Week, Peaches Geldof Has Been Found Dead.
"At this stage, the death is being treated as unexplained and sudden," said a statement from Kent Police, via BBC News. Peaches' cause of death is currently unconfirmed. Married to S.C.U.M rocker Thomas Cohen, Peaches had two sons, Astala, one, and Phaedra, who will turn one on the 24th April.
She lost her own mother Paula Yates, who died of a drug overdose in September 2000, aged just 41 years old. Geldof said she had experimented with drugs as a teenager, but was "never that wild." As Bob Geldof's daughter, Peaches spent a lot of her life under the scrutiny of the media, with her weight and slim physique a particularly recurrent target for many tabloids.
Peaches Was Married To S.C.U.M Singer, Thomas Cohen.
She left home at sixteen and worked as a contributor to The Telegraph and the Guardian, and presented TV shows including ITV2's OMG! with Peaches Geldof. Having being pictured regularly on the party scene, Peaches transformed her image when she began having children. She also worked as a model and, just last week, attended a launch for Tesco's F&F clothing range in London where there was no obvious sign that she was unwell.
She regularly kept her fans updated on social media, using Instagram in particular to post photos and videos of her sons and pets. Her last post - a video of her sons playing - was just 24 hours ago and has since attracted hundreds of fan tributes and messages of condolence since the news of her death broke.
The Mother-Of-Two Had Worked Hard To Bury Her Wild Party Girl Image.
Speaking to Elle Magazine in 2013, Peaches revealed that it had taken her years to come to terms with her mother's death. "I remember the day my mother died, and it's still hard to talk about it. I just blocked it out. I went to school the next day because my father's mentality was 'keep calm and carry on'," she said.
"I didn't grieve. I didn't cry at her funeral. I couldn't express anything because I was just numb to it all. I didn't start grieving for my mother properly until I was maybe 16." Peaches Geldof is survived by her husband, her two sons, father Bob Geldof, sisters Fifi Trixibelle and Pixie, and younger half-sister, Tiger Lily Hutchence Geldof.

Pregnancy is an exciting time for any parent. One challenge is finding healthy desserts that satisfy your cravings without causing harm to your baby.
Taking time to prepare for the inevitable cravings you will face when you are pregnant plays an important role in your child's development. You do not want to eat foods that harm an unborn child or contribute to the development of allergies. Fortunately, there are options to help with dessert cravings when you are pregnant.
A common craving when you are pregnant is ice-cream, and you'll likely desire the sugar-filled, full-fat version of the treat. A part of this craving stems from your body's need for sugar to maintain a stable blood glucose level.
Satisfy this craving by reaching for a non-dairy ice-cream or sorbet. You will satisfy the craving without the lactose or the high level of sugar. Since lactose is hard on the body, you'll want to limit your intake when you are pregnant.
Fresh fruit helps with two goals: it satisfies the craving for something sweet, and it nourishes your body and your baby. You can enjoy a mixture of fresh berries, a fruit salad or any other fruit combo that appeals to your taste. If you are struggling with nausea, then consider grapefruit or other citrus fruits as a dessert option.
Angel food cake is a great treat, at any time. The cake is light and low in sugar, so it helps satisfy any cravings for cake you may notice when you are expecting. It also does not contain any butter, so it is a low-fat dessert option. Top off the cake with fresh berries to add to the flavor.
Dark chocolate is a good choice when you are expecting. It contains a high level of antioxidants and low sugar content. It also has a much lower level of milk or dairy compared to other chocolates. Ideally, you'll want to opt for 60 percent or more dark chocolate. If you are unsure about a particular brand, focus on brands that actively state the percentage. Keep in mind that a darker chocolate has more health benefits while still satisfying the craving for chocolate.
Zucchini bread is a naturally sweet and healthy alternative to traditional cake that helps with your cravings and cuts back on the sugar content. Since zucchini is the main ingredient, you will get a healthy dose of veggies along with your dessert course. By making the bread at home, you will also have the option to use whole grain flour or alternative gluten-free flours to increase the health benefits.
A fruit pop is a great alternative to ice-cream or other sugary treats. Juice your favorite fruit, such as strawberries, mixed berries, or even oranges. Freeze the juice in ice cube trays, a specialized reusable pop tray, or a similar solution. When you feel a craving for something sweet, reach for the fruit pops. It contains only natural juice with no added sugar, fat, or unhealthy ingredients.
A parfait is a great option when you are expecting. The treat contains layers of granola, fresh berries and yogurt. Instead of sweetened low-fat yogurts, use plain Greek yogurt to increase your protein intake while taking a step back from those unwanted added sugars.
Dates are naturally sweet and healthy desserts. This simple dried fruit is relatively filling and contains a reasonably high amount of sugar, so you'll want to eat only a few for dessert. The good news is it only takes eating a couple to reap the benefits of fiber and other nutrients contained.
Gluten-free brownie bites take advantage of the health benefits of dates, cocoa powder and walnuts. It does not require any cooking. You just combine the dates, cocoa powder, walnuts and vanilla extract in a food processor. You can also add spices, like cinnamon or even pumpkin spice, to enhance or change the flavor. Roll the batter into small bite-sized treats, and put them into your fridge. Enjoy the treat when you want something sweet.
If you enjoy coffee, then a pumpkin spice latte is a good treat to help you get cozy colder weather. Use decaf coffee for your latte and almond or coconut milk instead of cream. Blend the coffee and your choice of healthy milk before you add a pinch of pumpkin spice. If you decide to add a sweetener, then consider agave or stevia instead of sugar.
Expecting a new baby doesn't mean you have to give up on sweet treats. The key to managing your cravings without feeling guilty or risking your infant's health is finding healthy alternatives to your favorite desserts.

Global Sisterhood: Women All Over The World Are Organizing Burkini Ban Protests
Following a controversial ban on the burkini -- a swimming outfit mostly worn by Muslim women that covers the body, except for the face, hands and feet -- in more than 15 French towns, women all over the world have decided to band together to dismantle xenophobia. Supporters spanning from Great Britain to Belgium and everywhere in between gathered to call for the repeal of this oppressive law by the French Government. Here's a look at the brave women combating racism and Islamophobia.

A mix-up in equipment for his safety caused Gallagher to re-break his hand a third time!
Brendan Gallagher's first time on the ice this year will be his last for a while. Team Training staff were concerned that he would try to take shots while he was on the ice and put stress on his healing injuries.
They sent a text to the equipment manager to remove the blade on his stick so he could not take shots.
We are expecting an announcement about the extent of his injuries, from the team, later today.
We can't wait until Don Cherry officially reacts to this one.
President Trump's America First policy means that Canadian NHL players can't work full time for American teams. American NHL players only take up 15% of the league, so filling US teams will be a challenge.
Don't mess with my good Canadian Boys!
Don Cherry has always been a fighter, but it is hard to take a piece out of a president without getting arrested or worse. So we will wait to see what Cherry has to say about this in the next Hockey Night In Canada broadcast.
Imagine Sydney Crosby or Jonathan Toews playing for Team USA at The Olympics?
There are more Canadian players in the US than the teams in Canada can carry – will they be unemployed? Will they go to Europe?
Some Player's could take US Citizenship – What does Cherry think of Sydney Crosby or Jonathan Toews playing for Team USA at The Olympics?
What will be the reaction to Toronto fans / Leafs Nation when they lose Auston Matthews?
What will the TV Broadcasters do with their huge contracts – can they sue?
What happens when American Minor league pros, college players and the National team get called up to the NHL. Who will replace them in the minor leagues?
Will Some US Teams fold due to lack of quality players?
Can Canadians take Scholarships from US colleges?
The NHL League office has not yet reacted to this new policy. It will be interesting to see how American Hockey fans react when their teams are decimated.
The election of Donald Trump and his plan to close US borders has convinced NHL commissioner Gary Bettman to green light a plan for world expansion. Here is summary of what they are planning.
The biggest, most lucrative event in the world is soccer's World Cup. The NHL plans to follow FIFA's model to make hockey a dominant (Read – PROFITABLE) business worldwide.
The NHL will only participate in the Olympics over the short term. They would rather own the hockey world cup than participate in the Olympics and share profits. The issue is they don't have complete control of the player's union where they could dictate skipping the Olympic Games.
The league was concerned over expansion competition from American based sports football and basketball. They have more resources to expand, but with P.E. Donald Trump's focus on closing the borders they will have a tough time being excepted in other countries and may upset their domestic fans. This will give the NHL at least 4 years to roll out their World cup expansion plans.
Increase the size of the ice surface to international dimensions – or bigger.
The debate on rink size has focused on making the game safe verses boring.There is no out of bounds so as players grow larger, stronger, faster (and more expensive) a bigger rink makes sens. Others worry about a boring game with little contact.
The decision was simple when architects and accountants got involved. People had assumed a bigger rink cut out the premium seats but in reality it cut out the cheap seats.
They won't expand on the current rink and knock out the expensive front row seats. They will build a new ice surface above the old one, increasing the number of premium seats that fit around the boards.
Raising the ice surface also brings more fans closer to the game. This upgrades the other seats and VIP boxes for a relatively cheap renovation. Teams could then raise prices on the whole rink and increase revenues by as much as 25%.
In the recent Junior Championships in Montreal ticket prices were priced as much as 10X regular Junior ticket prices. They weren't worried about filling the stands. They confirmed that hockey execs in any league would rather sell 8,000 tickets x $125 than 20,000 tickets x $30.
Copying the British soccer league's photo ID tickets will cut out most scalpers. So even with a hefty increase in prices most fans will pay less than they pay scalpers and more fans will be right in the action.
Ticket increases and renovations may not work in smaller markets but they have a plan for this.
For fans who say the NHL should never have expanded past the original six this is for you. The concept is similar to the soccer world where teams and players leave their league to play in different championships.
The NHL will control it all so that the players on the Premier teams and their schedule is set so they never miss a home game with their own team.
Each city will get at least 3 games with premier teams. The number of boring games where players are tired from a compressed schedule are gone. Younger players that fill in on away games can be properly developed at a slower pace than if they have to play all games.
The league will use the premier teams of top players to showcase hockey in other markets. These teams can also tour other continents playing premier league games. The outdoor classics are overdone in North America but they can be taken worldwide for impact.
The International Ice Hockey Federation has members worldwide including Mexico, Japan and China. Mexican teams are regularly playing in Canadian minor hockey tournaments now.
The NHL has the stats that trace the effect of Wayne Gretzky on the sport in the southwest United States. The world economy has made many people wealthy in countries that are looking to the west for sports. The NHL can envision the Gretzky effect if systematically applied worldwide.
China Dragons play home games in 3 cities with a combined population of over 40 million people. NHL teams – Islanders and Sharks have made investments in developing Chinese hockey.
The Premier league games will entice young kids to start playing hockey. Businessmen worldwide will join the NHL to profit on building the sport.
The league has a program in place to build the sport locally. Initially revenue will come from equipment, souvenirs, ice-time, broadcasts, and sponsorship. Ensuring business profits will drive the expansion of hockey.
The league can keep the same name – just pronounce it as the "Naytional" Hockey League like the League of Nations.
Short term there will be some growing pains but as the sport grows the value of world cup will grow and owners, and players will share in the huge profits.
Not many people realize how much Hockey has spread worldwide. They just need to build on it and improve the player's skills.
To help bring player's on-board with the world cup the league is also considering more freedom for players customizing equipment.
Goalies have painted masks and agents have long asked "why can't other players have painted helmets". I could help fans identify and relate to their favorite (or most hated) players and be a source of added revenue for the players.
The key to NHL's the plan is the World Cup's potential for revenue. It has to be so much money that countries and businesses will make the investment in growing the game in their area. If Rinks and equipment are made available to kids and they have superstars to emulate they will play the game.
FIFA just released a plan to expand the number of teams in their tournament to increase revenues by as much as $1billion. This is alone is enough to make Bettman and the NHL execs excited.


WITHOUT Nikica Jelavic, Everton struggled to score goals. With him, they can't stop. That is the difference a high-class striker makes.
The £5.5 million bargain buy has transformed Everton, turning a goal-shy team into prolific plunderers.
The hardest part of football is supposed to be finding the back of the net. Not for the ice-cool Croatian. He makes it look remarkably, ridiculously easy.
He has nine goals in his last seven starts. Everton have 12 in three league matches.
For the second successive game, he struck twice. For the third league game in a row, they scored four. It is a dramatic turnaround.
"If you had been watching Everton in the early months of the season, you would have been pulling your teeth out," boss David Moyes said.
Fulham went home unhappy again. Not that their manager even arrived.
Fulham floundered as Everton excelled, Pavel Pogrebynak giving their hosts a helping hand.
When Jelavic took a free kick, the Russian raised his arms to protect his face. The ball hit them, referee Phil Dowd pointed to the spot and the Croatian converted calmly.
His second came when Jelavic accelerated on to Steven Pienaar's pass, rounded Mark Schwarzer and found himself at an acute angle.
It mattered not. He drilled his shot through the goalkeeper's legs and past Aaron Hughes on the line.
Had an earlier shot not hit the post, it could have been a first-half hat-trick. But for Schwarzer's save from another free kick, he would have got the match ball.
However, there was a treble of sorts. The superb Pienaar got three assists.
His corner was headed in by the unmarked Marouane Fellaini. His scooped pass was volleyed past Schwarzer by the sliding substitute, Tim Cahill.
"We scored some good goals," added Moyes. "I was able to enjoy the game." Fulham weren't. Far from it.
They only came close when one American denied another.
Clint Dempsey's shot took a wicked deflection off Johnny Heitinga, but a wrong-footed Tim Howard recovered to tip the ball on to the bar and over.
And not even Boris Johnson, Kelvin MacKenzie and Gary Neville dislike a trip to Merseyside as much as Fulham, who have never won a top-flight game there.
The bad news? They are away at Anfield on Tuesday.


A container ship passing Ishigaki Island radioed the Ishigaki Maritime Safety Agency reporting an overturned fishing boat and a body floating in the ocean, Monday.
The MSA dispatched a patrol boat to the scene and they identified the overturned boat as the 2.5-ton Seihomaru that had been reported missing a day before. They also retrieved the body of the skipper of the missing boat, Takeo Nakasone, 57. MSA officials suspect that the fishing boat had capsized in the rough seas sometime Sunday.
(Editor's note) Members of Japan Update staff fondly remember Nakasone. He was the skipper on our fishing trips to Ishigaki, always cheerful and best of all, could guarantee the catch. He is sadly missed.
