Packers won't have Pro Bowl OT Bakhtiari for rest of season
Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari (69) plays during an NFL football game, Sunday, Nov 29. (AP Photo/Jeffrey Phelps)Green Bay Packers offensive tackle David Bakhtiari will miss the rest of the season after the three-time Pro Bowl selection injured his knee in practice Thursday. We're still sad and hurting for Dave just because it's our brother and it's our left tackle, our teammate. Pro Bowl selection Elgton Jenkins has made 11 starts at left guard, two at center and one at right tackle this season. Turner has started six games at right tackle, four at right guard and three at left tackle.
Packers' versatile offensive line keeps overcoming injuries
"We've been able to roll a lot of guys in on the offensive line, started a lot of combinations," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. When Linsley left the Bears game, Green Bay shifted left guard Elgton Jenkins to center and inserted Runyan at left guard. Green Bay's offensive line is coming off arguably its best performance of the season. "These guys are professionals, man," offensive line coach Adam Stenavich said. Jenkins started games at every offensive line position but right guard at Mississippi State.
Rodgers at ease as Packers roll past Vikings 43-34
Davante Adams was predictably the biggest beneficiary, with a career-high, franchise-record-tying 14 catches for 156 yards and two scores. Aaron Jones rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown for the Packers, who posted their highest score against the Vikings since a 44-31 victory at the Metrodome on Oct. 27, 2013. Jaire Alexander, who also recorded a safety on an untouched cornerback blitz in the second quarter, made the bobbling interception. When LG Lucas Patrick (shoulder) was forced out in the second quarter, Jenkins moved back to his original spot and free agent addition Rick Wagner entered at RT. ... DT Kenny Clark (groin) was hurt in the second quarter during Alexander's interception and didn't return.

The Hamilton Perkins Collection is a Kickstarter Project We Absolutely Love
Hamilton Perkins knows about social and environmental problems. So, when the opportunity came to put skills and knowledge of the business world to use in a real world situation the rest was history.

"It was always consistent with my core values," he said of the idea behind starting the Hamilton Perkins Collection of designer bags. "Once I saw the environment from a bird's eye view. If I were to build this brand from the ground up, that would be unique and different."
Perkins, the founder of the B Corporation Hamilton Perkins Collection, was notified in July that his new line was named a Kickstarter Project We Love. The accolade is intended to recognize top projects garnering attention through the crowdfunding site, Kickstarter.
Perkins said in essence, the achievement alludes to the fact that people are responding well to company offerings.
"I think it's being authentic (and) being involved," he said. "I think it's a ton of different things. We were just fortunate to get the credential."

The Hamilton Perkins Collection currently consists of two products: a duffle bag and a two-in-one bag. Ultimately, all products feature a three-way, convertible zipper system in addition to being made from 100-percent recycled plastic bottles and billboards.
In examining the market, Perkins said a challenge surfaces for consumers who are looking to find a bag as socially responsible as the one his company offers and said that's what inspired him to start the line.
"After figuring out I could do it myself—I have a retail background—I found I could get started on my own," he said.
The Hamilton Perkins Collection launched its crowdfunding effort in June. In under one week, the company gained $10,000 in startup costs through Kickstarter.
Perkins said the collection brings great meaning to both the company and its consumers given the bag's makeup.
"It's made to matter," he said.
Perkins said the early success the company's seen inspires him to think ahead and seek out niche markets.
"We think we can be a lifestyle brand," he said. "We definitely want to expand the reach we have. We do want to have our own store where we sell direct."
Still, Perkins said he realizes online and social media have been crucial contributors to the company's success. In doing so, Pinterest, Instagram, and Facebook all play a part in the company's strategy to reach consumers, he said.
Perkins added that it's all about "connecting with customers where they are."
The Hamilton Perkins Collection is made possible thanks to a partnership with Thread. Under that connection, the B Corporation works to create jobs for people in Haiti.

Owen Sound native's firm plans to start COVID-19 vaccine trials soon
Comments Off on Owen Sound native's firm plans to start COVID-19 vaccine trials soon
Unlike RNA vaccines, DNA vaccines don't have to be stored at extremely cold temperatures – they can be kept in a refrigerator for more than a year and at room temperature for more than a month – and they're easier to scale up for manufacturing. Recipients only require one dose instead of two.
After the first vaccine candidate starts trials, Entos plans to begin trials for the second – a pan-coronavirus DNA vaccine that includes all of the known variants of COVID-19.
"As far as timing, our Phase 1 and Phase 2 (trials) are mixed together, so as soon as we get the Phase 1 safety data, we'll move directly into Phase 2," Lewis said.
Phase 3, which is the final clinical trial stage before emergency authorization can be granted, would start shortly after Phase 2 trials conclude.
Lewis said both Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech were required to have 30,000 participants for Phase 3 trials, but that size is "out of reach" for Entos due to the $250-million pricetag.
But the company is hoping that by the time its vaccine candidates reach Phase 3, Health Canada will require far fewer trial participants due to the data already collected from approved vaccines.
"In that situation, it would be much quicker," he said.
With proper funding for the clinical trials and manufacturing, Lewis said the vaccine could be ready for Canadians by the end of this year.
However, a lack of funding continues to be a barrier and is also a source of frustration for Lewis, whose company shifted its focus at the start of the pandemic from developing cancer gene therapies to using its Fusogenix drug-delivery platform to develop a COVID-19 vaccine.

» Shoulder Straps
The Confederate Army
Last Updated on Tue, 15 Apr 2014 | Shoulder Straps
The Confederate Army did not have nearly the number of combat troops fielded by the Union Army, nor did it recruit nearly as many specialist troops. Many of those who were recruited did not have any special regulation uniform, either. Nevertheless, there were specialist personnel among the Confederates who did important work for the South.
General and Staff Officers
In all, the South commissioned 425 men as fully ranked generals; of these, 77 were either killed in action or died of their wounds.
Generals, and staff officers of the Adjutant General's department, the Quartermaster General's department, and the Commissary General's department were to wear grey frock coats reaching halfway between the hip and knee, with two rows of eight buttons in pairs for generals, and seven

buttons evenly spaced for other officers. The standing collars were to be buff, as were the pointed cuffs. Rank was marked on the collar by three gold embroidered stars within a wreath for general; three, two, and one stars without a wreath for field officers from colonel to major; and three, two, and onehorizontal bars for captain to second lieutenant. In addition, each sleeve was to be decorated with a gold Austrian knot: a general had four braids in his knot; field officers, three; captains, two; and lieutenants, one. Buttons were to bear an eagle surrounded by stars.
Many generals preferred wearing waist-length jackets instead of the regulation frock coats. Maj.Gen. Thomas J. ('Stonewall') Jackson was photographed in a totally plain jacket. A British soldier in a New Jersey artillery battery described Confederate Brig.Gen. William Walker in May 1864: 'His uniform was not unlike our British Volunteers Gray, only he wore a jacket instead of a

coat having three stars on the collar to indicate his rank like these * * *'. Col. Arthur Fremantle, Coldstream Guards, in July 1863 'saw General Wilcox (an officer who wears a short round jacket and a battered straw hat)'. Maj.Gen. Patrick Cleburne in 1864 was described by one of his men: 'He had on a bob-tail Confederate coat, which looked as ifit had been cut out of a scrimp pattern.'
Trousers were to be dark blue with two stripes of gold lace on the outer seam, J in. apart for generals; other staff officers were to have 1 ¿-in.-wide gold lace stripe down each leg. Caps were to be entirely dark blue French-type képis. These were to be decorated up the front, back, sides and top with the same number of gold braids as appeared in the wearer's Austrian sleeve knot. Generals and staff officers were also authorised to wear French-type fore-and-aft chapeaux', but only Maj.Gen. John B. Magruder, who was noted for his fancy dress generally, was photographed with such a hat. In the field, the broad-brimmed slouch hat was the most common headgear.
Sashes for generals were to be of buff silk—and, indeed, Gen. Robert E. Lee wore such a sash at Appomattox. Staff officers were to wear red silk sashes.
There was no regulation chaplain's uniform. Chaplains of the II and III Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia voted in June 1863, to wear, as a badge, 'the letter C, with a wreath of olive leaves worked in gold bullion, on a ground of black velvet, the whole about inches wide.' Chaplains of the Army of Tennessee later chose to wear the Maltese Cross as their badge.
The Specialist Corps
On 24 October 1861 President Jefferson Davis wrote that the Engineers were 'a corps not having lieutenants, and the members of which were selected for their special qualifications.' Originally the Corps did not have enlisted men either, men being put into temporary pioneer brigades whenever engineering work was needed. In late 1863 two regiments of Engineers were authorised, and filled in time for the 1864 campaign. The First Regiment served with the Army of Northern Virginia, as did two companies of the Second Regiment; the rest served in the West. The Corps was most active in fighting around Petersburg,
Top, the shoulderstrap of a lieutenant, US Navy, c. 1864; the anchor is silver, the other embroidery gold. Bottom, the two-piece beltplate worn by US Navy officers. (Author's collection)
where it was responsible for the fortifications; and in the Appomattox Campaign, where it built bridges ahead of the army, destroying them while standing off pursuing Union troops as the rest of the army passed on.
Officers of the Engineers wore staff officers' uniforms, with buff facings and red sashes; their buttons bore the Old English letter 'E'. Engineer enlisted men did not have an authorised button, probably wearing general service or even plain wood buttons. Their typical wear was waist-length grey or brown jackets with matching trousers. Non-commissioned officers would have worn, when available, buff or white chevrons, and perhaps, in more established posts, a white cotton stripe down each leg.
A visiting Austrian officer wrote in 1863: 'The signal corps is an institution peculiar to the American armies. On marches and during battles, high and commanding positions are occupied by squadrons of this corps, who communicate with each other by flags, on the old semaphore system, and report all important communications to their generals. The corps was found very useful last year, and has been very much increased since.'
The Corps had been authorised on 19 April 1862 under command of a major. It consisted of ten captains, ten first and ten second lieutenants, and
30 sergeants. These were especially trained in signal techniques. Privates were detailed from various line units as needed. Their signal flags came in two sizes, the largest being 12ft by 8ft, the smaller ones being described as 'about four feet by two and a halffeet in size and contain in their centers squares of another color than that of the body of the flag.' Unlike other Confederate organisations, the Signal Corps appears to have had special cap badges. One Corps member described 'a pair of silver plated cross flags w'h can be gotten on Wall St., or near the Columbian Hotel' in a letter dated 2 October 1863. This badge would apparently have resembled that worn by the US Army Signal Corps. Otherwise, Signal Corps officers and men wore standard issue dress, with buff facings and general service or staff officer buttons.
An Invalid Corps of veterans unable to fight but still able to stand guard duty was authorised on 17 February 1864. It had 110 special uniforms, although frock coats were a standard issue.
The Medical Department
According to a visiting Austrian officer in 1863: 'The medical department is organised thus: Medical director of the army; medical director of the army corps; chief surgeon of division; senior surgeon of brigade. Each regiment has a surgeon, an assistant-surgeon, two ambulances, and a medical waggon, belonging to it. Two men from each company are detailed to act as litter-bearers and attendants upon the wounded; these follow the troops on the field of battle, and convey men to the hospitals in the rear.'
Recalled Pte. James Nisbit, 21st Georgia Infantry: 'Each company had two men detailed as litter-bearers who were excused from all company duty and the regimental drill. Their principal duty was to pick up wounded men and carry them back to the surgeon and assist the surgeons after the battle. The captains selected the strongest and bravest men for this duty. Often each litter-bearer had to carry a man on his back or in his arms, which called for great strength, and to return to the firing line was more trying than to stay and shoot.' These men were described by Col. Fremantle as 'unarmed men carrying stretchers and wearing in their hats the red badges of the ambulance corps.' The badge was not described in army orders and was probably
Capt. William B. Shubrick came out of retirement to serve as chairman of the Navy's Lighthouse Board during the war. He wears the US Navy officer's dress uniform coat, apparently with undress trousers—dress trousers had a gold lace stripe down each leg. Full dress was not required of officers during the war. (Author's collection)
any shape and size of red cloth, ranging from a circle on the hat front to a band around the entire hat.
Surgeons and assistant surgeons wore double-breasted grey frock coats, with black collars and cuffs. The surgeon wore the single star of a major, while the assistant surgeon wore the three stripes of a captain on his collar. Their trousers were to be dark blue with a i^-in.-wide black velvet stripe, edged with gold, down each leg. The regulation sash was green silk net. Although not regulation, many of them wore the gold embroidered Old English letters 'MS', sometimes within a gold wreath, 011 the front of their képis.
Each regiment was supposed to have a hospital steward to assist the surgeon. According to Confederate Surgeon Deering J. Roberts, 'the chevrons on the coat sleeves and the stripes down the trousers of the hospital stew ard were similar to those worn by an orderly or first sergeant (three chevrons and a lozenge), but were black in color.' This insignia is not mentioned in Confederate dress regulations.

Kościół Narodzenia Najświętszej Marii Panny w Jodłowniku – zabytkowa świątynia rzymskokatolicka w Jodłowniku, w powiecie limanowskim, pełniąca pierwotnie funkcję kościoła parafialnego, a obecnie kościoła pomocniczego parafii pw. Narodzenia Najświętszej Marii Panny.

Kościół znajduje się na Małopolskim Szlaku Architektury Drewnianej.

Historia
Fundatorem modrzewiowego kościółka w Jodłowniku był w 1585 roku właściciel wsi – Przecław Niewiarowski. Po jego śmierci, zgodnie z jego testamentem, opiekę nad majątkiem i kościołem przejął zakon Dominikanów z Krakowa. Pod kontrolą tego zakonu kościół znajdował się aż do lat 70. XVIII wieku, to znaczy do momentu konfiskaty dóbr zakonu przez rząd austriacki.

Tymczasowo świątynia została włączona do parafii w Skrzydlnej.

W XIX wieku w okolice Jodłownika przybyli Cystersi i objęli opiekę nad kościołem. Przeprowadzili wówczas jego generalny remont i założyli pobliski cmentarz. Kiedy w 1925 biskup Leon Wałęga ustanowił tu samodzielną parafię, naturalnym było przekazanie jej pod opiekę opactwa Cystersów. Pierwszym proboszczem został ojciec Alojzy Tajduś.

Aż do poświęcenia nowego kościoła, drewniany kościółek pełnił funkcję kościoła parafialnego. Obecnie jest zamknięty i msze odprawiane są w nim bardzo rzadko.

Architektura
Jest to świątynia wzniesiona z drewna modrzewiowego, według zasad konstrukcji zrębowej. Jest w całości oszalowana pionowo i pokryta gontem. W jej założeniu architektonicznym można zauważyć elementy stylu gotyckiego.

Jest to kościół jednonawowy, orientowany z węższym, zamkniętym trójbocznie prezbiterium, do którego przylega niewielka zakrystia. Góruje nad nim kwadratowa wieża o konstrukcji słupowej z nadwieszoną izbicą. Na dachu znajduje się również niewielka sześcioboczna wieżyczka na sygnaturkę, dobudowana w XVII wieku.

Wnętrze
Wnętrze kościoła nakryte jest płaskim stropem, w nawie z zakrzywieniami. Strop oraz ściany zdobi zabytkowa polichromia z 1764 roku, przedstawiająca medaliony z popiersiami świętych związanych z zakonem Dominikanów.

 Ołtarz główny: pochodzi z II połowy XVIII wieku. Znajdują się na nim posągi św. Jacka i św. Dominika. Pośrodku znajdował się cudowny obraz Matka Boża Jodłownicka, który obecnie znajduje się w ołtarzu głównym nowego kościoła. Zastąpiono go wizerunkiem Ofiarowanie Najświętszej Marii Panny;
 ołtarz boczny z obrazem Najświętsze Serce Pana Jezusa;
 ołtarz boczny z obrazem Matka Boża z Dzieciątkiem.

Wyposażenie kościoła
Wyróżniającym się elementem wyposażenia kościoła w Jodłowniku jest jasna renesansowa ambona, pochodząca z XVI wieku. W kościele znajduje się również wiele obrazów z XVII i XVIII wieku, wraz z obrazem fundatora kościoła Przecława Niewiarowskiego z 1600, oraz dwa dzwony z drugiej połowy XVI wieku i piękna drewniana chrzcielnica.

So i watched TGV's "pick of the week" movie yesterday night , and guess what?!
It was Despicable ME 2!!!
So, back to the movie.
The movie is unpredictably hilarious.
Laughter is indeed infectious, and everyone was laughing watching the minions .
But then if you dig deeper ( which i expect most audiences above four feet tall would), the movie isn't as good as the first. It goes with the classic cartoon plot : where everyone is bashed and blown to bits, and in the next scene, appears unscathed for another round of bombing/throat-slitting.
And there's just no more villainous evil plots and schemes from Gru. He's been neutered into boring old nice guy.
That's talent gone to waste, i feel :p and the whole plot just kinda lacks emotional connectivity that some animation films are so reknowned for.
The good part? the minions are featured more in this film . Heheh nothing wrong with that, i suppose. I myself could sit there at watch them fight each other forever.
Hmm. I heard that they're getting their own movie in 2014. It's funny that they speak gibberish, but then it still seems that they understand english. I wonder how they communicate with their "bosses"?
Till then, hang tight and enjoy your weekend!

Tough non-league schedule prepares CWU volleyball for No. 10 Western Washington
Ryan KuhnSeptember 14, 2017 GMT
To say that Central Washington's volleyball team has had a challenging schedule to start the season might be considered an understatement.
The Wildcats have already faced the 2014 National Champion, University of Tampa, the No. 1 team in the country, Concordia-St. Paul and West Region rival Azusa Pacific.
But Central Washington will have to wait to take a break. It kicks off its GNAC conference schedule by hosting No. 10 Western Washington tonight at Nicholson Pavilion.
CWU head coach Mario Andaya said the strong schedule has helped judge where his team is at during this point of the season.
"The last couple of weekends have showed that we have a lot of work to do," Andaya said. "We have to make sure we are doing some things better on offense and hopefully we are getting to that point."
IDENTICAL PATHS
The two GNAC teams come in with nearly identical paths leading up to the match.
While the Wildcats were playing their four-game tournament in Tampa, Fla, the Vikings were also participating in the same tournament, but in a different bracket over in Lakeland, Fla.
Both teams also participated in West Regional showcases to prepare for the upcoming season. Western Washington played up in Anchorage, Alaska meanwhile Central Washington hosted four games back in Ellensburg and received wins over Stanislaus State and UC San Diego.
"Both teams are coming off great tests to start the season, but that doesn't matter right now," Andaya said. "We are both starting 0-0 and both want to start conference with a win."
The in-state rivalry between Central Washington and Western Washington started way before Andaya was hired to take over the volleyball program in 1996, but over his years of coaching, he views it as motivation for his team to be great.
"Western brings out a lot in us," Andaya said. "The rivalry has been here for a long time but because they are one of the better teams in the country, that alone gets us going. We want to try to be the best and also beat the best."
The Vikings come in with a 6-2 record and are led by their leading hitter junior Abby Phelps.
Phelps comes into the game ranked fourth in the conference with 110 kills.
On defense, Western Washington also features Joslyn Bopray who is averaging 1.17 blocks per set.
"There is no doubt that they have some really good players," Andaya said.
STRONG LEADERSHIP
Central Washington is also equipped with weapons on offense and defense. Junior Shelby Mauritson leads the Wildcats in kills and had 15 in her last game against UCSD.
Senior Sabrina Wheelhouse also leads the conference in blocks for the second straight season. Her 1.42 blocks per set is 11th best in the country.
"We have to be steady in everything," Andaya said. "They take scoring chances and take full advantage of it. If we are not bringing our best offense then they are going to control the ball and bring a lot of hitters at us."

Reaching three developmental milestones can put your elementary student with cerebral palsy (CP) on a path toward eventually building a rewarding, meaningful career.
- An orientation toward lifelong learning (learning).
- Persistence in working toward a goal (dependability).
- An appreciation for differences in people (acceptance).
Cultivate those three attributes in your youngster now. He or she, as a result, will likely a have the foundation for meeting the needs future employers will seek in job candidates two decades from now.
And the good news is that learning how to live well with CP now can help develop that orientation toward learning, persistence and diversity in your youngster. You can help frame disability as preparation for that future challenge your youngster will face in finding meaningful work. Let me explain.
I've identified those three developmental milestones (learning, dependability and acceptance) after listening for two decades to what employees with disabilities say have made them successful and to what employers say they seek in job applicants.
Of course, the attributes employers seek today in applicants they interview for open jobs are different than they were in 1980 and 1990 because the whole work environment has changed and technology has changed. But, the basic needs of employers still remain. They need new employees who know how to learn, are persistent in pursuing a goal and value differences in people.
That's what V. Scott Solberg, Ph.D., then associate director of Career Development Research at the Center for Education and Work, University of Wisconsin-Madison, also discovered when he interviewed three Wisconsin employers for the center's Afternoon Tea Conversation Series, a live webcast event.
Gary, a corporate trainer representing an energy services company with 240 employees which also manufactures "green" products.
Becky, a nurse and HR executive for a health care facility which employs 1,300 people in patient and non-patient care.
John, an owner/operator of a family business which manufactures hydraulic and lubrication components and employs 150 people.
I approached the panel discussion from a disability employment standpoint. I wanted to know what added-value attributes job applicants with disabilities needed to offer a perspective employer that will make them competitive in today's economy.
This was a wide-ranging discussion, and, after analyzing my notes, I lumped what I thought were the most significant comments from all three panel members under three categories.
Imagine your youngster as a job seeker 20 years from now. Will he or she have reached the required developmental milestones so they can match what these three employers currently seek in a job candidate? Will those attributes still be relevant two decades from now?
You are keeping your skills fresh through continuing education and training.
You're dedicated to lifelong learning; you don't have all the answers but are willing to (and know how to) find them.
You're open to change, you continually challenge yourself to improve your skills and you are flexible so you can be cross-trained laterally as well as vertically; you'll be able to learn the job behind you as well as in front of you.
You're an innovator and problem solver and are willing to take a reasonable risk.
As a person with a disability, your youngster is going to have a real opportunity to demonstrate his or her ability to learn and to commit to lifelong learning.
If your youngster uses any type of assistive technology (AT) at all, for instance, he or she will have an opportunity to show future employers how keeping up with advances in AT on a yearly basis is work-related experience other job applicants without a disability may not have had. That's an employment edge your youngster will be able to promote as a job seeker, if you both prepare for it now, together.
Becoming an assistive technology expert – someone who can help an employer easily and economically install any on-the-job accommodations your youngster may need to carry out his or her duties within the workforce of 2030 – is, I believe, one of the key developmental milestones you both can begin to tackle at the elementary school level.
You can demonstrate your work ethic so your supervisor knows he or she can depend on you.
You're dedicated to doing a good job.
You'll go the extra mile.
You truly want the job at hand.
You have crystallized your life story and can present it effectively in terms of how it shows you can meet employer needs.
Dependability is the key here. Your elementary school youngster can begin writing personal experience stories (perhaps in an online diary) which show he or she has learned how to live well with CP through persistence (the foundations of dependability).
Then, your youngster will someday be in a position to show how he or she has learned to transfer that persistence to the workplace – an attribute that will increase the resiliency of an employer's workforce precisely because your youngster has learned how to be persistent and reliable in working toward a goal.
One of the key developmental milestones for your elementary school youngster is developing the reputation for being reliable.
You can be a bridge between generations within your work group, showing others how to approach work in ways they have not yet encountered.
You can work effectively with a variety of people.
You're well-rounded -- you don't have a 4.0 grade average, and that's OK because you have participated in a variety of activities while gaining your education.
As an individual with CP, your youngster will likely find his or herself, at times, with one foot in the non-disabled and the other in disabled world -- and trying to effectively relate to both at the same time. That can be valuable experience.
Over the years, look for opportunities to show your youngster that he or she can be a bridge builder and be an example to others about how to value differences in people. Isn't that one of the most important developmental milestones for your youngster?
Think of the differences in generations we have today. Baby boomers approach work from a different perspective than those who are in the generation X category, for example. Employers sometimes have up to four generations represented in their workforces, and they need experienced bridge builders. They need individuals who value (and celebrate) differences in people.
So, cultivate your youngster's bridge building, acceptance experience. It'll be valuable someday as a job candidate.
Learning to live well with CP provides your youngster with an array of concrete examples of how he or she has developed many of these 18 personal attributes – developmental milestones which can eventually give him or her the competitive edge as a job candidate -- not in spite of CP but because of it.
Those examples can be powerful during future job interviews, especially if they are very short and always tied to a work setting. Just one timely anecdote can have an impact on an interviewer. There's no need to overwhelm.
Here's an imaginary picture your youngster may appreciate. Personal stories are like quivers in a knapsack. Throughout his or her career, your youngster can decide which one is most valuable at the moment, and then use it.

India plans a Shark Tank-like reality show & a dedicated startups TV channel
DIPP has written to the ministry of information and broadcasting to consider setting up a channel dedicated to startups.Ruchika Chitravanshi | ET Bureau | Updated: August 26, 2016, 08:57 IST
A reality show for Indian startups along the lines of Shark Tank is in the offing.
The unlikely planner of the show is the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), which is in the process of conceptualising the programme it wants to air on India's national broadcast channel Doordarshan.
"We will hire an agency to scout for startups and investors to feature on the show. Actual funding will be provided to the winners," a senior DIPP official told ET.
But the department doesn't want to stop there. Despite fears that India's startup bubble may be losing a tiny bit of air, it feels there's a vast appetite for more adventures in entrepreneur-land.
DIPP has written to the ministry of information and broadcasting to consider setting up a channel dedicated to startups. "Just like there is a channel for kisan (farmers) there can be one for startups," the official said.
DD Kisan is a round-the-clock channel dedicated to farmers that was started last year in fulfilment of a poll pledge by the ruling party.
In the desi Shark Tank, entrepreneurs will pitch ideas to judges who will subject them to an intense grilling before deciding whether an idea is worthy of investment. Such a show would give the government's startup agenda a higher profile besides creating a platform that would encourage innovation and drum up funding for new ideas.
Shark Tank, modelled on a Japanese show, has been running successfully in the US since 2009. The government plans more platforms on which startups can strut their stuff. It plans a Grand Challenge competition at the national Startup Fest to be held in Hyderabad next month.
Startups will have to find innovative solutions to problems faced by industry and ministries as the government tries to encourage entrepreneurs to look beyond technology. It wants startup energy to be directed toward areas such as agriculture and come up with fresh solutions for drought and soil conservation, among others.
The Startup India action plan announced last year has got off to a slow start. Only about Rs 168 crore of funding has thus far been sanctioned by the Small Industries Development Bank of India out of the Rs 10,000 crore fund of funds that had been announced.
As for tax exemptions under the initiative, only three out of 793 startups that applied have got them. Companies begun after April are eligible to apply for a three-year tax holiday under Startup India. Of the 793 that have applied for recognition under the programme, 223 have been successful.

Solar panels are fitted at waste transfer site
Cheshire East Council has fitted energy-saving solar panels to the roof of its waste transfer HQ.
The £220,000 investment at the authority's environmental hub, in Cledford Lane, Middlewich, run by arms-length company Ansa, will be paid back in over six and a half years.
The council said the investment showed its commitment to sustainable energy production and the reduction of carbon emissions to net zero by 2025.


Das Blumenmädchen Eliza nimmt Sprachunterricht bei dem Sprachprofessor und überzeugten Junggesellen Henry Higgins. Dieser wettet mit einem Freund, Oberst Pickering, dass es ihm gelingt, Eliza binnen sechs Monaten allein durch Sprachunterricht in eine Herzogin zu verwandeln.
Wird Higgins seine Wette gewinnen? Wird sich Eliza die tyrannische Art Higgins gefallen lassen? Wie wird es nach der Feuerprobe, dem Diplomatenball, mit Eliza weitergehen?
Higgins: A woman who utters such depressing and disgusting sounds has no right to be anywhere – no right to live. Remember that you are a human being with a soul and the devine gift of articulate speech: that your native language is the language of Shakespeare and Milton and the Bible; and don't sit there crooning like a bilious pigeon.
Higgins: Heavens! what a sound! Ah-ah-ah-ow-ow-ow-oo!
Higgins: You see this creature with her kerbstone English: the English that will keep her in the gutter to the end of her days. Well, sir, in six months I could pass that girl off as a duchess at an ambassador's garden party. I could even get her a place as lady's maid or shop assistant, which requires better English.
Eliza: What's that you say?
Higgins: Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf, you disgrace to the noble architecture of these columns, you incarnate insult to the English language: I could pass you off as the Queen of Sheba. Can you believe that?
Greg: (casually) Who lives at the Willows, Lower Pendon, Bucks?
Ginny: (scattering her make-up then recovering) How did you know that?
Ginny: (moving down beside him) Where did you find that address?
Ginny: Have you been going through my things?
Ginny: Then tell me where you got that address from. I want to know.
Greg: It's written on here. (He holds up a cigarette packet) Look. The Willows, Lower Pendon, Bucks. Anyone we know?
Greg: Ah. Well, you may have a lousy memory for all I know. I mean I could never be called a devoted son, my parents will back me up on that, but at last I can remember where they live.
Seit langem schon befehden sich die Familien Montague und Capulet, immer wieder kommt es in den Straßen von Verona zu Gewalt. Romeo (ein Montague) und Juliet (eine Capulet) verlieben sich ineinander und heiraten – heimlich, ohne das Wissen ihrer Familien.
White Horse Theatre führt den Shakespeare-Klassiker gekürzt auf und hält neben einer unkonventionellen Umsetzung des Stoffes auch einen gehörigen Schuss Humor bereit.
Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Romeo [Aside]: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

2017 PULITZER PRIZE WINNER ------- Real "Fake News"
Orrin "Dipsy Doodle" Hatch: "She was asking for it. Don't want to be fondled, don't go in the Oval Office"
Orrin "Dipsy Doodle" Hatch: "She was asking for it"
Slate Reporting
Orrin Grant Hatch, has been the President pro tempore of the United States Senate since January 2015, a member of the Republican Party, he serves as the senior United States Senator for Utah, and, since November 2016, an outspoken Trump enabler.
Orrin "Dipsy Doodle" Hatch.
Hatch, a staunch supporter of capital punishment and harsh "3-Strikes" legislation, was quick to chalk Great Leader Trump's recent breast fondling, pussy grabbing, and reporter slandering up to a ''Dipsy Doodle.''
This is quite fitting, as "Dipsy Doodle" was famously last evoked by Ronald Reagan to belittle foes of trickle-down economics, genius idea being trumpeted by the current administration.
Mr. Reagan's characterization of estimates by Democratic politicians that tax cuts and defense spending would drive up the deficit as ''real dipsy doodle.'' Evidently the President was deeply impressed by the dance-hall lingo of the 1930's.
''Dipsy Doodle'' was a song composed by Larry Clinton in 1937 and dealt with the reversal of words and expressions, such as ''You love I and me love you.'' The origin of the phrase is labeled as unknown by Merriam-Webster, but to speculate, dipsy might come from dipsomania, now called ''alcoholism,'' and the slang shortening to dipso (from the Greek dipsa, ''thirst''). A second possibility: from the dance dip, in which the man pulls the woman toward him, then bends his knee and swoops forward as if imitating Groucho Marx's walk.
The doodle part is easier: In German, Dudeltopf means ''nightcap,'' the sort worn by a simpleton. The doodle added a humorous alliterative fillip to the phrase; even today, the verb to doodle means ''to draw idly,'' giving some substance to the theory of etymologists who argue that it is a variant of dawdle. Doo is the sound of the simpleton, as he fiddles with doodads and doohickeys. (Doo wha'?)
As baseball fans know, the dipsy doodle was taken up as the name for a sinking curve ball, or sinker, or dip. ''Dutch'' Reagan began his career as a baseball announcer, and may have picked up the phrase in this phase of his career. Without delving into linguistic psychohistory, it seems likely that the President associated ''a real dipsy doodle'' with trickery or chicanery, as the phrase for a curve ball soon became a favorite with mystery writers: ''I opened the front door, leaving the key in the lock,'' wrote Raymond Chandler in ''High Window.'' ''I wasn't going to work any dipsy doodle in this place.''

An Historical Ghost Tour of Honolulu
Tom. Mad. Fence.
I couldn't believe that it was happening again; ghosts were talking with me through the Ghost Radar application on a phone. Well, not only to me, but to me and another man I was walking with around the exterior of Hawaii's Iolani Palace. We were both reaching out to the spirits of old on a walking tour of downtown Honolulu with Oahu Ghost Tours. And while we waited for the tour to begin, we decided to go off on our own and see what we could find.
The words came out in succession to our questions; first we asked if anyone was with us, seeing energy orbs appear on the application's screen.
Tom.
Then the middle-aged father who I was with, attempting to be polite, asked Tom if it was alright that we were there visiting the palace at night.
Mad.
"Why are you mad, Tom?" he asked. "Are you mad at us for being here?"
Fence.
The two of us paused briefly, each holding his breath, and then glanced up from his screen to look at each other before gazing around the perimeter of the building's grounds. Sure enough, there was a fence surrounding the palace.
We couldn't be sure that Tom was mad at that fence or something else, but we were definitely making contact with spirits and the tour had yet to start. We were certain the other half of our group had arrived in our absence, though, so we returned to the back of the building to where the van was parked.
Joe – a young man in his twenties with tanned skin and dark, black hair – lead our group of approximately twenty ghost enthusiasts, skeptics, and the morbidly curious. It was not difficult to see who fell into which category based on mannerisms such as eye rolls and general giddiness. Some people, such as myself – a skeptical enthusiast – fell into more than one category.
We waked around to the opposite side of the building where I had my encounter with Tom and the other member of our tour group. Joe was talking about Madame Pele, the goddes s of fire, volcanoes, and lightning, and how it is a must to remain respectful to the spirits – "They are our ancestors and deserve to be respected, as such," he explained.
Joe continued to explain the bad things that happen to those who are disrespectful, like people who remove rocks from places, like the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, and take them home as souvenirs: "Many people would send the rocks back, sometimes with a letter of apology, yeah," Joe said, "because they or someone they loved became sick or suffered from some other misfortune, yeah. Only then did they believe the stories told about removing the rocks and remaining respectful of Pele and the ancestors."
After picking me up at my hotel, en route to meet the other group at the palace, Joe told another story of how a Kahuna had to actually be called in to assist with some issues of disrespect. Apparently a well-known Waikiki hotel had issues with people getting sick after the hotel was built on top of where a great many bodies were buried long ago. They struggled with the problems for years before finally asking a Kahuna to come in and make peace with the spirits and ask for forgiveness.
I only half-believed this story, along with some of the others Joe related, but even that could be enough to get my skin to crawl. It did so as we rounded the corner of the palace.
Fierce. Duty. Done.
Once again, in quick succession, my Ghost Radar application was speaking to me as several sources of energy manifested on its screen.
"What did it say?" asked Frank, a local in his late forties or early fifties, who was obviously Joe's mentor and along on the tour to help and make sure everything went well.
"Fierce, duty, and done," I said, as I pointed to the dots on the screen. There is no true explanation for their various energy and manifestation colors – red, green, blue, or yellow – but Frank speculated that it was based on the spirit's personality and profession when they were living.
"Green and blue, for instance," he said, "have more to do with healers and the medical professions. Other colors can mean other things."
"Well, that would explain why I just saw a whole bunch of red dots on my screen when it said those words so fast. I've got to think they were warriors or guards to the palace at some point."
Frank had a strong energy that pulled me to him; I found him to be a fascinating individual full of all of the side tidbits of information so often craved for on similar tours. So, only occasionally listening in on Joe's talk, I genearlly stuck close to Frank, continuing our conversation off-and-on throughout the tour. At times, though, he had to duck away to take care of something, so that is when I refocused on the group.
By this point, we had crossed the street, and were passing a statue of King Kamehameha the Great outside the Aliiolani Hale. We stopped briefly to hear stories about orphanages and plagues before crossing the street to a nearby cemetery. I recognized it from my stop earlier in the day at the Mission Houses Museum and the Kawaiahao Church.
Earlier that afternoon I had a private tour set up of the Mission Houses Museum on my Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau sponsored trip. And as I stood in the main sitting room of the oldest standing house in Hawaii, I felt my skin crawl. I had to quickly back out of the room, even in the middle of the afternoon, and continue on; I was so overcome with a feeling of uneasiness.
I felt nothing standing back outside of the house and the nearby church. The night air was cool and a gentle breeze moved by overhead, but no ill feelings returned. Instead, I felt tired and sleepy after a long day exploring downtown Honolulu. It was a good day, too, as I learned about many fascinating aspects of the history of Hawaii.
Our late-night historic walking tour wrapped up back at the Iolani Palace with another brief talk, some handshakes, and farewell waves. Despite little or no ghostly evidence gathered on my part, it was a fascinating tour and experience. And, just like my other ghost hunts and tours, it left me wondering what else might be out there that I don't know about.

Last weekend Steve and I made a quick trip to NYC. It was super last minute; although packing quickly is more stressful, it's so much fun to do something spontaneous. I don't know if you have noticed, but I am a planner… a little OCD or type A personality. It might have been last minute, but it was a wonderful trip before I go into the busy holiday season.
Two things that I love to do when in the city for the weekend are eat a bagel with lox and have Sunday brunch. New York has the best bagels- period! If you've been to New York you know what I mean. It might be a little too much to say they are life changing, but they come close. It was a relaxing way to start the day- overlooking the city while having breakfast!
Sunday brunch is a ritual in NYC. I love brunch because breakfast is my favorite meal, but I am not a morning person so brunch is the perfect solution for me. There are tons of places that serve brunch. If you walk around on Sunday that is mostly what you will find. The last time we came to the city we didn't plan. We knew we wanted to go to The Smith, a few blocks from where we were staying, because it has a great brunch. Unfortunately it was over an hour wait! This time we made reservations through Open Table and it was perfect!
When I'm in NYC my third favorite thing to do is shopping. Ok, really shopping is always #1 on my list, but I had to restrain myself this trip. Shopping just wasn't on the agenda. It was a great relaxing trip and we spent a lot of time wandering around and exploring… which we both love to do!
Do you have anything that you HAVE to do when visiting NYC?


FDPP Month Eight (Family Disaster Preparedness Plan) is available for free with a fire safety form to download and print for your Family Disaster Plan.
The Family Disaster Preparedness Plan Month Eight includes a fire safety form to include in your Family Disaster Plan.
Be wise when it comes to fire! If a fire starts in your home that is too big for you to handle, get out of the house immediately. Don't stop to get anything or do anything. Once you are outside, stay there. Intense heat and toxic fumes can kill you in seconds.
Selecting a family reunion point outside your home in case you need to evacuate your home after an earthquake or during a fire. You also drew the floor plan of your home, identified safe spots, danger spots and exit routes. Review these things with your family this month and make sure everyone knows at least 2 ways to exit each room in the house and where to meet outside.
Calendar a date and time for a fire drill this month and another one in 6 months from now. During one of these fire drills, give everyone a blindfold and practice crawling your exit routes to simulate getting out of a smoke-filled house.
If you don't' have any fire extinguishers in your home, get some this month. You should have one in the kitchen, one in the garage, one on every level if your home has multiple floors. A:B:C extinguishers are recommended: "A" fires – ordinary combustibles such as wood, paper, cloth and many plastics. "B" fires – flammable liquids such as gasoline, paints, kitchen grease, and oils. "C" fires – electrical equipment, such as fires in wiring, motors and appliances.
Locate your fire extinguishers with care. Ready access to them is critical. Fire moves quickly so quick access to your extinguishers can be the difference between putting a small fire out or suffering much damage.
Calendar a date and time next year to check your extinguishers to ensure they are properly charged.
Download and print the form below and add to your Family Disaster Plan Notebook for handy reference.

Renting a car can offer many benefits only if you are able to make the right choice. Choosing the right model, the right rental plan and the right car rental company – there are many things to be taken care of. One more thing that you need to consider is the 'Additional Car Rental Insurance'. Most car rental companies would try to persuade you to buy the additional insurance, but is it worth it? How would you decide? Let's get into the details.
Oftentimes renters get confused over whether they should buy additional insurance or they should turn down the offer. This is mostly because many car renters have no idea about car rental insurance or they do not know when they need it.
Have I used a credit card to hire a car?
Does the credit card offer me some coverage?
If the answers to these questions are yes, then there are high chances that you don't need an additional insurance, since you have the required coverage. Check out whether your car insurance or credit card company offers car rental coverage or not. If they do, carry a proof (photocopy of policy) along with you when hiring a car. No matter what don't get persuaded by what the staffs say. Evaluate your situation and buy an appropriate insurance. Oftentimes a basic CDW (collision damage waiver) is enough, so why waste money on other policies.
Auto Insurance Coverage: if you own a car, chances are you have auto insurance. In most cases, the auto insurance would also cover rental cars, so you might not have to buy extra insurance.
Credit Card Benefits: Many credit card companies provide coverage for rental cars, though the amount of coverage depends on the type of card you use. So before renting a car, make sure you enquire about the benefits offered by the credit card company.
Read the car rental agreement carefully to check your responsibilities under the state laws in case an accident occurs and the car rental company's waiver. If the liability is limited by the state laws and you have enough coverage (from auto loan or credit card) you can safely rent a car without buying additional insurance.
Whether you need an additional insurance or not, completely depends on your situation. So make sure you evaluate the situation well and consider the available coverage, before buying car rental insurance from the rental agency. Make a smart choice and make your trip memorable.

Q: Error on git patch using git am When I try to perform a patch using:
git am 0001-someFile.patch

but I get this error:
error: patch failed: src/***/file.c:459
error: src/***/file.c: patch does not apply
Patch failed at 0001 someFile.patch
When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".

I am trying to manually merge the conflicts using:
git mergetool --tool=meld

But I am getting:
No files need merging

How can I solve this problem?
I am getting the name of the file which holds the error, but have no idea about the line (it's a big file)
Maybe there is a better way to perform such patching?

A: I'm in charge of handling all patching at my work. I've had this happen many times. A patch cannot be merged. The reason this is happening is because the master branch has changes that the patch did not take into account, which prevents it from patching correctly. From all my experience, this could be caused by several things:

*

*The person who made the patch failed to pull the master branch and rebase master onto their development branch.

*Between the time that the person pulled and the patch was applied enough changes were made to the master branch to stop the patch from applying due to too many conflicts.

*The person patched incorrectly.

Here is the flow I've had the most success with. (This is assuming the person is developing on a branch other than master)

*

*Make sure you've added all files and commited all changes.

*git checkout master

*git pull

*git checkout {development branch}

*git rebase master (this will bring the development branch up to speed with master)

*git checkout -b {submission branch} master

*git merge --squash --no-commit {development branch}

*git commit -am "Commit Comment Here" (NOTE: This commit comment will be the name of the patch)

*git format-patch origin..HEAD

That makes sure your patch is up to date with the origin master branch. Send that patch and hopefully the patch is applied before too many changes are made on the master.

A: You need to do a 3-way merge:
  git am -3 0001-someFile.patch

  git mergetool -t meld
