Perfect fit - love it.
Fits well and perfect for spring weather!
Fits very well on a pony that is a very funny shape .
I would have chosen the rugs without belly flap but as it turns out the flap works really well and a nice fit.
Made them sweat on top when very hot.
Lovely quality, always last well with horses that live out 24/7!!
An excellent piece - really does what it says on the tin and is intelligently made - all buckling is velcro or traditional buckles. In other words, no plasticky bits that break and cannot be replaced. Very, very well made piece and very effective.
Finally a rug with a neck long enough!
Good guality. Really good fit.

Freedom in the World 2019: Democracy in Retreat
Created 02/07/2019
In 2018, Freedom in the World recorded the 13th consecutive year of decline in global freedom. The reversal has spanned a variety of countries in every region, from long-standing democracies like the United States to consolidated authoritarian regimes like China and Russia. The overall losses are still shallow compared with the gains of the late 20th century, but the pattern is consistent and ominous. Democracy is in retreat.
A widespread problem: The 13 years of decline have touched all parts of the world and affected Free, Partly Free, and Not Free countries alike. Every region except Asia-Pacific has a lower average score for 2018 than it did in 2005, and even Asia declined when countries with less than 1 million people—mostly small Pacific Island states—are excluded. Not Free countries as a group suffered a more significant score drop than Free or Partly Free countries, which also declined.
Faltering post–Cold War democratization: The end of the Cold War facilitated a wave of democratization in the late 20th century, but a large share of countries that made progress during that time were unable to maintain it. On average, countries that earned a status upgrade—from Not Free to Partly Free, or Partly Free to Free—between 1988 and 2005 have faced an 11 percent drop in their numerical score during the 13 years of decline.
Consolidated democracies slip: Social and economic changes related to globalization have contributed to a crisis of confidence in the political systems of long-standing democracies. The democratic erosion seen among Free countries is concentrated in consolidated democracies—those that were rated Free from 1985 through 2005, the 20-year period before the 13-year decline.

To the south of the interesting leisure port, Port-Saplaya, we find this beach that offers services and a pleasant and busy promenade. Of fine sands and few pebbles, it is enclosed by breakwaters. Its public is mainly local and family orientated. And the fact is that the port is designed as a fishing village, with boats moored to doors, making this a quite pleasant residential area.

Q: mention a member with discord.py Hello I wanna mention a specific member in my guild I know my code is a mess can you show me my mistakes please?
async def ping(ctx):
    guild=ctx.guild(889583100286369832)
    sido=guild.get_member('439800066312503297')
    await ctx.send(sido.mention)

A: You haven't posted the error message yet. but discord requires a special intent to get guild data about users.

You don't need the guild data on a user to @ them however, so you shouldn't need to enable that. you can do this:
myid = '<@[ID GOES HERE]>'
await client.send_message(message.channel, ' : %s is the best ' % myid)

A: Another way:
sido = await bot.fetch_user(439800066312503297)
await ctx.send(sido.mention)

You need intents for this:
https://discordpy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/intents.html

A: Without seeing the error, I'm unsure if this is the problem but guild likely doesn't have a get_member() method and you should instead use bot.get_member()
In the event that this isn't the cause of your problem, the best way to workaround this issue for your specific use case would be to mention the user with <@ID>
await ctx.send("<@{}>".format("439800066312503297"))
# Or
await ctx.send("<@439800066312503297>")

Formatting here is unnecessary if you want to hard-code the ID, but I recommend using it if you want to dynamically change the ID in the future.

Romance for violin and orchestra No. 2 in F major, Op.50 by Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827)
Ludwig van Beethoven portrait 1803
The Romance for Violin and Orchestra No. 2 in F major, Op. 50, is the second of two such compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven. It was written in 1798 but not published until 1805 (by which time Beethoven had completed the other work, Romance No. 1 in G major, Op. 40). The accompaniment is for flute and a pair each of oboes, bassoons and horns, with strings. The length is about eight minutes, Beethoven gives the tempo "Adagio Cantabile"
La romance en fa majeur, opus 50, maintenue dans une atmosphère plus lyrique et chantante, est équilibrée d'une manière semblable, construite sur un dialogue concertant. Il est vrai que le thème plein de sentiment est accompagné par l'orchestre dès l'entrée du soliste, et que, par la suite, la tenue plus sévère de la romance en fa majeur s'exprime nettement dans la conduite intimement coordonnée du dialogue. Le finale est caractéristique, semblant perdu comme dans un rêve. (Source : Deutsche Grammophon Gesellshaft)
Ludwig van Beethoven (baptised 17 December 1770 – 26 March 1827) was a German composer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the classical and romantic eras in classical music, he remains one of the most recognized and influential musicians of this period, and is considered to be one of the greatest composers of all time.
Beethoven was born in Bonn, the capital of the Electorate of Cologne, and part of the Holy Roman Empire. He displayed his musical talents at an early age and was vigorously taught by his father Johann van Beethoven, and was later taught by composer and conductor Christian Gottlob Neefe.
At age 21, he moved to Vienna and studied composition with Joseph Haydn. Beethoven then gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist, and was soon courted by Prince Lichnowsky for compositions, which resulted in Opus 1 in 1795. The piece was a great critical and commercial success, and was followed by Symphony No. 1 in 1800. This composition was distinguished for its frequent use of sforzandi, as well as sudden shifts in tonal centers that were uncommon for traditional symphonic form, and the prominent, more independent use of wind instruments. In 1801, he also gained notoriety for his six String Quartets and for the ballet The Creatures of Prometheus.
During this period, his hearing began to deteriorate, but he continued to conduct, premiering his third and fifth symphonies in 1804 and 1808, respectively. His condition worsened to almost complete deafness by 1811, and he then gave up performing and appearing in public.
During this period of self exile, Beethoven composed many of his most admired works; his seventh symphony premiered in 1813, with its second movement, Allegretto, achieving widespread critical acclaim.
His career is conventionally divided into early, middle, and late periods; the "early" period is typically seen to last until 1802, the "middle" period from 1802 to 1812, and the "late" period from 1812 to his death in 1827.
During his life, he composed nine symphonies; five piano concertos; one violin concerto; thirty-two piano sonatas; sixteen string quartets; two masses; and the opera, Fidelio. Other works, like Für Elise, were discovered after his death, and are also considered historical musical achievements.
Beethoven's legacy is characterized for his innovative compositions, namely through the combinations of vocals and instruments, and also for widening the scope of sonata, symphony, concerto, and quartet, while he is also noted for his troublesome relationship with his contemporaries.


Breaking Benjamin Get Back In Touch With Their Classic Sound In "Ember"
After a four year hiatus, Breaking Benjamin returned in 2015 with their last album Dark Before Dawn, which felt like a step in the wrong direction. After a long break, all we left were shallow, weak copies of everything that came before. Nothing really original or meaningful really came out of that album, and it really felt like a blow for the band. However, their new album has put them back on path. Breaking Benjamin get back in touch with their classic sound in Ember, effectively adding new subtleties and delivering something meaningful.
Kicking things off mysteriously with the short introduction 'Lyra,' Breaking Benjamin go in full force with first track 'Feed The Wolf.' This song really brings in everything the band is known for and more: the giant, aggressive riff feels full of energy, while the melodies are fantastic. The choruses are immense, and the small electronic element adds a world of atmosphere to the background. The same is true for lead single 'Red Cold River' that follows, a safer effort that definitely bridged the gap between a new era for the band and the old sound. 'Psycho' has a great delivery, putting on the more alternative face with big choruses and tense verses. The melodies are brooding during the verses, but are almost elevating during the chorus, full of emotion and atmosphere.
While Ember is certainly a step in the right direction, Breaking Benjamin does get a bit too comfortable again. A major problem with the band is there has been very little variation in their sound over the years. For almost every song on the record, you can say the riff is huge and the vocals are strong, but for some songs that's about it, such as 'Torn In Two.' The mixing and production on this record make it such that it's a nice listen after the disappointment of their last record, but in time you get the sense that you could really just be listening to a Breaking Benjamin album from the late 2000s. The only song that really steps out to change something is 'The Darker Of You,' where effected vocals take precedence over guitars and the dramatic, synth and piano driven atmosphere really make the song what it is. Other than that, pretty much every other song is what you'd expect from them with a fuller and more certain sound than their last album.
Breaking Benjamin get back in touch with their classic sound in Ember, successfully coming out of the rut they experienced with their last record and returning to a big, confident sound. While the music isn't entirely fresh and still needs a bit of evolution to really push Breaking Benjamin onto a new road, the music feels revitalized, which is always the first step.


The Chinese have long known about the medicinal benefits of green tea, from lowering cholesterol and encouraging weight loss to fighting disease and aiding those suffering from a number of ailments.
One researcher at Memorial University is hoping to show that green tea polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), may also prevent colon cancer and render anti-viral effects when combined with certain Omega 3 fatty acids.
Dr. Fereidoon Shahidi, a university research professor in the Department of Biochemistry, explains that the while green tea is a good antioxidant and is known to have anti-cancer effects, it is not without some short comings.
Their research proved that it was indeed the case, but further testing on animals provided other surprising results.
They are currently researching to see which Omega 3 oils work best and expending the project to see if they can combine Omega 3 with other beneficial molecules that have proven difficult for bodies to absorb, such as certain cholesterol lowering agents.
Dr. Shahidi believes that although there is much research left to be done, having the work approved by the country's regulatory agencies should be a relatively simple process.
A provisional patent has now been filed to protect the intellectual property so it is now possible for Dr. Shahidi to begin talking to the food, supplement and pharmaceutical industries about research funding for further exploration. The provincial government recently announced their investment of $10,000 into the project.
Dr. Shahidi says the work has benefited from the contribution of his graduate students. In this particular project, Ying (Joy) Zhong has been recognized by receiving several awards for her work and Zhuliang Tan will be receiving an award later this month from the American Oil Chemists' Society. The European Federation for the Science and Technology of Lipids (EuroFed Lipids) has selected Dr. Shahidi, himself, to receive the European Lipid Technology Award later this year.

Mobile app development is one of the most lucrative fields for developers today. With Android and iOS accounting for over 95% of the mobile market, virtually all mobile developers find themselves choosing between the two platforms for their projects. This article discusses the key comparisons when choosing Android/iOS for your project.
Even with Swift's less verbose syntax, iOS still shares a similar learning curve with Android. Both share a similar project structure and are MVC like in nature. This means once you understand the relationships between the views and business logic you'll more easily transition between the two platforms. Similarly, once you get familiar with either Java/Objective C you will have an easier time exploring the other side.
Swift/Objective C handle null pointer exceptions more elegantly than Java. This means your app won't crash if your code produces a null value. With Java, null pointers will crash your project without clearly revealing their roots. This can slow down development time considerably as errors are harder to track with Java. Conversely, you are able to catch things like memory leaks earlier with Java's stricter debugging.
View rendering is another key difference. While XCode has a robust interface builder with drag and drop capabilities, Android relies more on XML for layouts and rendering. If you're familiar with CSS, then this actually isn't too bad. It's just a matter of learning Android's version of things like padding/margin and applying them to your layout 'components'. However once you've experienced the ease of dragging a UI element onto a screen canvas and having all the code prepopulate, it will be tough for you to appreciate Android's XML approach.
Research has shown that, while more people have Android devices than iOS devices, the iOS App store generates around 75% more revenue that Android's Google Play store! This means that iOS users are more willing to pay for apps than Android users. If your an independent app developer looking to make good money, iOS may be the platform to hone in on.
Cross platform development is always important to developers who want their app running on as many devices as possible. With iOs development, your developing for considerably fewer devices than Android. XCode's interface builder also makes views inherently more responsive than Android. This means it can take more time to make your app responsive for Android than iOS because you have more potential devices running on more potential versions.
A bi-product of Android's more fragmented environment is it's ability to control the device it's running on. With Android, you can tap into app sharing, launchers etc. While iOS does give you a more performant 'sandboxed' environment, it severely limits your ability to interact with the native technologies of the device. Sure you can interact with the camera feature etc., but your interaction with other apps / functionality running on the device are severely limited with iOS.
Getting your app into the store is much more painstaking with iOS. First you have to register as a developer which costs $100 annually. This contrasts greatly with Android which only requires an initial $25 fee. Additionally, you have to download certificates and link them with your account to become an 'approved vendor' with iOS. You submit your builds and they are reviewed between 2-7 days. Sometimes your apps can get rejected with vague reasons and this gets frustrating as you have to repeat the approval process each time you submit a build.
Android is cheaper and less strict in terms of publishing. You submit a few screen shots, pay the fee and your app will appear live in the store a few hours later. It's not the most enjoyable process, but when compared to iOS will seem like a breeze!
Both iOS and Android share similar learning curves but for different reasons. If you've worked with Java before, then getting started with Android will be easier than iOS. If you have more front end experience, then Swift may make iOS a better place to start. In general, iOS app development is more lucrative from a revenue standpoint but Android allows you to reach a larger audience and faster.
i'm all about the XIB and iOS. they make it so easy to drag and drop elements onto the screen and linking up elements to viewController functions is pretty straight forward. I have never done Android development but hear their interface builder isn't quite up to speed with the more established xCode.
i recently had to build a native mobile app solution for both iOS and Android. i was building out the same functionality and the idea was pretty simple, just a single page view with some charts etc. android was super simple in terms of "deployment" or getting it live in the store. Apple was more expensive and time consuming with the review process etc.
iOs brings a much more affluent demographic to the table. so it makes more sense for individual developers who are trying to make money from apps. android gives you access to a lot more customers ..just cheaper ones at some point it's just what is right for you.
agreed this is good to know..especially when you're not coming from a java background.

Centenarian Swiss Abroad 'Look, I'm still here'
By Lars Gotsch
This content was published on August 14, 2017 11:00 AM Aug 14, 2017 - 11:00
Agnes Parodi was born one year before the First World War. Here, the 104-year-old holds a picture of her 22-year-old self.
(Lars Gotsch/swissinfo.ch)
Agnès Parodi has lived in many places, but hardly ever in Switzerland. Having reached the respectable age of 104, she lives in Cannes, France, and life is anything but boring.
"And two months," Parodi insists. "I am 104 years and two months, so I'm actually older than 104." The old lady sees every extra day of her life as a special gift – a bonus, so to speak. "Each morning, when I wake up I say to myself: look, I'm still here."
Parodi certainly does not want to waste her bonus days. She keeps very busy and the meeting with the Swiss journalist is just another item on her to-do list. She doesn't even manage to keep to the arranged time of noon sharp. The only response the ringing doorbell gets is the hissing noise of the intercom, which gets lost in the chirping of the crickets on the hot Avenue des Coteaux.
Parodi has lived in this housing estate on the outskirts of Cannes for more than 50 years. "My flat is in the tallest of the five apartment blocks. I am sure you will find it," she said confidently on the phone. Finding the flat was easy, but hunting down the occupant? "She is still out and about," says the caretaker downstairs.
Africa and love
After about 20 minutes, a tiny woman walks towards the block of flats. She is not using a cane or a walker and, though slow, she walks with determination. Could it be her? "Yes, of course it's me," the old lady assures me. "I am sorry for the delay but I had to run some errands in town." She asked me into her flat and told me that her friend was on her way.
One of Parodi's many friends is joining us today. Originally from canton Ticino in Switzerland, she is a Swiss Abroad and is also in her advanced years, but still about 30 years Agnes' junior. The two met in Dakar.
It was there, in Senegal, where Parodi finally became an expat Swiss. She moved to Dakar to get married in 1938. She had met her husband in France a year earlier when the English lord she had been working for as domestic help took her, his family, and indeed the whole household to the Côte d'Azur for a holiday.

A good-looking lad
The then 24-year-old spent her evenings off work dancing in Cannes. In a club, she met Justin Parodi, a Frenchman from Dakar who was on holidays in Cannes. She can't quite put her finger on why she fell for him. "I don't quite know what I liked so much about my husband. He was simply a good-looking lad," she says with a contagious laugh that fills the room. He was completely besotted with her, and she was flattered.
The holidays passed and they had to say goodbye, but not without exchanging addresses. They kept in touch and the good-looking lad urged her to visit him in Senegal. He was working as a bookkeeper in the French Colony.
Parodi was easily convinced. She quit her job with the lord and travelled to Dakar by sea. She stayed for three months and at the end of her holidays, Justin Parodi proposed to her. The two got married and lived in Senegal for 20 years. The only effect the Second World War had on them was that the food supplies were scarce. Her husband did not have to go to war as he had been rejected as unfit for the military due to a hearing problem.
A flat full of memories
In 1961, when Senegal achieved independence, the couple moved to Cannes, where they later bought their own apartment. As they were unable to have children, they were happy with a two-room apartment, where Parodi lives to this very day.
Agnes Parodi's life is now about her friends. Here, she displays a card for her 104th birthday.
The flat reflects the life of a centenarian. Cards for her 100th, 101st, 102nd, 103rd and 104th birthdays decorate the sideboard; the walls are covered in photos and African art, and the two tables and every single chair in the living room are buried under piles of paper. "It's not always this messy here," Parodi explains. "I recently cleared the basement and moved everything into the flat. Now I am sorting through things." Today, however, there is no time for this. She walks past the piles of paper and sits down on the sofa. Her Ticino girlfriend sits down next to her.
"I only regret that I did not become a chef."
End of quote
Too nervous for the kitchen
One-hundred and four years ago, the world was a different place. Europe was ruled by emperors and empresses, and Switzerland was right in the middle of it like a democratic and neutral island. At the country's right edge lies Altstätten in canton St Gallen, where Agnès Coray – her maiden name – spent her childhood. She was born on May 22, 1913 as the daughter of a cabinet-maker with seven siblings.
At the age of 15, she left home to attend home economics school. She later worked in various hotels until she took up her job with the English lord. "There is only one thing I regret," she says. "I wanted to be a chef like my older sister." However, her father and sister talked her out of it. "Agnès, you would be far too nervous for this profession," they warned her. "You handling a stove with fire would be far too dangerous."
Even today, 90 years later, it is still quite obvious what her father and sister meant by that. Parodi's nervousness and restlessness can still be felt despite her 104 years of age. When telling her story, she jumps back and forth from memory to memory and every so often she gets up from the sofa to dig out a memento, or answer the phone.
Choosing your friends well
Her phone rings about every 15 minutes. It's her friends, who want to have a chat or meet up. "Oui, beaucoup des amis." Yes, she has a lot of friends, and she meets at least one friend per day. "You cannot choose your family, but you can choose your friends," she says. "And I have chosen my friends well." Her Ticino friend nods away on the sofa. "Agnes will never be lonely."
"You cannot choose your family, but you can choose your friends"
She has always kept in touch with her family in Switzerland. However, during difficult times it was her friends who stood by her side.
The dark day
Her husband was wearing a black coat, Parodi remembers. He had left something in the car and crossed the road to fetch it. It was a cool autumn day on 15 October 1988. Parodi's voice still trembles when she talks about that day. The driver later claimed that he was only going 35km/h. "This is a lie," she cries out. "Nobody gets thrown through the air when they get hit at 35km/h."
Justin Parodi died from the consequences of this accident. They would have celebrated their 50th golden wedding anniversary a few months later. After the death of her husband she decided against going back to Switzerland. Here in Cannes, she had her flat and her friends.
Travelling into old age
These were the friends with whom she started to travel around the world. She was almost 100 years old when she embarked on her last big trip to the Black Sea. The visit of such an old person was a highlight for the locals. "Everyone wanted to talk to me. They could hardly believe meeting someone who is 100 years old."
Parodi can no longer go on such big trips, but she still embarks on smaller excursions. "At the end of August, I'll fly to Basel to attend the Congress for the Swiss Abroad, like every year." You can hear the pride in her voice when she mentions that she is the oldest member of this organisation.
Agnes Parodi has become a local personality. On her 100th birthday, the mayor of Cannes (left) congratulated her personally.
(Agnes Parodi/Privatbild)
"Well, I think there is only time for one more question," her friend from Ticino interrupts. "After all, Agnes has a lot of other things to do," she observes. The two were supposed to go out for dinner and they would have to get ready.
"Right. Ms Parodi, do you ever get bored?" After all, she has lived alone in this flat for almost thirty years. "No," Parodi replies and laughs. "I have no time to be bored."

She was born on May 22, 1913 as the daughter of a cabinet-maker with seven siblings. At the age of 15, she left home to attend home economics school. She later worked in various hotels until she took up her job with the English lord. "There is only one thing I regret," she says. "I wanted to be a chef like my older sister." However, her father and sister talked her out of it. "Agnès, you would be far too nervous for this profession," they warned her. "You handling a stove with fire would be far too dangerous." Even today, 90 years later, it is still quite obvious what her father and sister meant by that. Parodi's nervousness and restlessness can still be felt despite her 104 years of age. When telling her story, she jumps back and forth from memory to memory and every so often she gets up from the sofa to dig out a memento, or answer the phone. Choosing your friends well Her phone rings about every 15 minutes. It's her friends, who want to have a chat or meet up. "Oui, beaucoup des amis." Yes, she has a lot of friends, and she meets at least one friend per day. "You cannot choose your family, but you can choose your friends," she says. "And I have chosen my friends well." Her Ticino friend nods away on the sofa. "Agnes will never be lonely." "You cannot choose your family, but you can choose your friends" She has always kept in touch with her family in Switzerland. However, during difficult times it was her friends who stood by her side. The dark day Her husband was wearing a black coat, Parodi remembers. He had left something in the car and crossed the road to fetch it. It was a cool autumn day on 15 October 1988. Parodi's voice still trembles when she talks about that day. The driver later claimed that he was only going 35km/h. "This is a lie," she cries out. "Nobody gets thrown through the air when they get hit at 35km/h." Justin Parodi died from the consequences of this accident. They would have celebrated their 50th golden wedding anniversary a few months later. After the death of her husband she decided against going back to Switzerland. Here in Cannes, she had her flat and her friends. Travelling into old age These were the friends with whom she started to travel around the world. She was almost 100 years old when she embarked on her last big trip to the Black Sea. The visit of such an old person was a highlight for the locals. "Everyone wanted to talk to me. They could hardly believe meeting someone who is 100 years old." Parodi can no longer go on such big trips, but she still embarks on smaller excursions. "At the end of August, I'll fly to Basel to attend the Congress for the Swiss Abroad, like every year." You can hear the pride in her voice when she mentions that she is the oldest member of this organisation. No time "Well, I think there is only time for one more question," her friend from Ticino interrupts. "After all, Agnes has a lot of other things to do," she observes. The two were supposed to go out for dinner and they would have to get ready. "Right. Ms Parodi, do you ever get bored?" After all, she has lived alone in this flat for almost thirty years. "No," Parodi replies and laughs. "I have no time to be bored."

What do you know about Zippy?
"The University of Akron's mascot, Zippy, remains undefeated at 9-0 in the Capital One Mascot Open. Over the last nine weeks Zippy has received approximately 321,000 votes to maintain that position. The closest competitor is Hary Dawg, from the University of Georgia, who has just under 316,000 votes."
But who is Zippy that students seem to love so much?
Zippy is a kangaroo and has been UA's mascot since 1953. Zippy is also one of only a couple special mascots in the nation. That is because Zippy is a she.
That's right, Zippy is a female.
UA's loveable mascot is one of only two female mascots in the country. This is no surprise to President Luis Proenza.
Well, as you know, a kangaroo is a unique animal, and a kangaroo who has a pouch is a female, Proenza said. For the most part, nobody worries about the gender.
Zippy is ubiquitously loved.
While Zippy is a happy-go-lucky Akron gal, she also has a competitive side.
The Fear the Roo campaign, sponsored by the university, portrays what most assume to be Zippy, but in the role of a fierce marsupial.
One of the students who plays the mascot, Eric Baker, said he doesn't mind dressing as a woman to play Zippy.
It is what it is, and you're the face of the university, he said. There's got to be a reason we're the No. 1 mascot in the nation.
There's a uniqueness to Zippy.
If Zippy is the face of the university, does that mean all kangaroo's UA uses to represent itself, such as that in the Fear the Roo campaign, are Zippy?
That's the implication in the Fear the Roo; it's not the friendly and inviting Zippy we see bouncing around at the games, said Hunter Yurachek, Executive Associate Director of Athletics. It's the more mean and aggressive Zippy.
Patrick Tohill, another student who dresses as Zippy, agreed that the aggressive Zippy is necessary.
I think it's just one of those things somebody thought up and I'm sure that they put a little more intimidating look for that, but obviously if you go see Zippy around kids Zippy is not intimidating like that, Tohill said. It's more for the teams rather than for herself, because it's like saying hey here is Akron, and we don't come to lose, we're actually coming to play.
Regardless of how mean Zippy may appear representing UA's athletic teams, Proenza said it doesn't effect her overall character.
The character Zippy is the one you know and love, he said. What you're looking at is two different representations.
There was quite a bit of debate some time ago about whether we would ever have a kangaroo that was intimidating, Proenza said.
But can a kangaroo really intimidate those who live in Akron – a city accustomed to crime?
Baker said yes.
Zippy is the protector of Akron, he said. Zippy is protecting the homefront for the good that it is and weeding it out for all the evil.
Just like in the Capital One Bowl.
As for the Capital One Bowl, Zippy still needs students to vote for her.
We are the smallest school in this (competition) and we're going to have to step it up that much more, Baker said. I knew we would be good and we'd put up a fight, but I never thought we'd be 9 and 0.
The post season begins after the 12-week mascot challenge. In this, according to Baker, voting counts for elimination.
The postseason is three rounds. Zippy is on a bye week the first round because she is the number one seat.
According to Baker, however, the second round will be the toughest. He said fan support from other schools will likely increase in the pastseason.
It's definitely going to be brutal, Baker said.
Regardless of the outcome, Athletic Director Mack Rhoades said Zippy has already represented UA well.
The latest commercial that was out with Zippy making a hole-in-one on the golf course I thought was tremendous, Rhoades said. We've received a lot of positive comments on that.
We're hoping Zippy wins the championship.
Voting in the Capital One Bowl Mascot Open will end on Nov. 24. Votes can be cast for Zippy online at www.Capitalonebowl.com.

I finally got published in the Beaver... There's a mistake though, the first paragraph ("the lead") should have quotation marks, because it was a quote by Bob Hancké... This bothers me.
http://thebeaveronline.co.uk/Features/in-2007-how-fabian-is-lse
(As this link does not work anymore, here is the article:)
In 2007, how Fabian is the LSE?
"When my father was my age, they thought that the revolution was around the corner, and my father always asked me why I'm so interested in what the Central Bank is doing and all that stuff, I said 'because right now it's not any longer about the world that's going to come, but it's about keeping unemployment down, keeping poverty down.' Among the faculty what looks like pragmatism is coming to terms with how the terms of the debate shifted over the years."
Although the terms of the debate shifted in the left-wing, the Fabian ideal lives on, says Bob Hancké of the European Institute. Social justice remains a very important priority when academics do their research, and the research is very much policy-oriented: LSE academics think about the ways they can actually influence the world to bring about social justice.
The LSE motto is "rerum cognoscere causas: to understand the causes of things," as Eddy Fonyodi, President of the Grimshaw Club, tells me excitedly. Once you can make sense of the world around you, you can work towards changing it for the better. "They all work towards the same goal: Improvement of the society. To bridge the gap between academia and reality, to make a difference in the world and you can see that, both academics and students do amazing things to change the world."
This very goal, however, requires flexibility, ability to look at the issue at hand from different perspectives.
"As society changes new questions arise so you have to adapt to be able to investigate the new and the challenging questions. To face the challenges that arise you also have to change yourself, your understanding."
Nick Barr, Professor of Public Economics at the European Institute and a policy adviser, defines socialism "not in terms of its means but in terms of its objectives. Socialism is about the pursuit of egalitarian objectives. " He says New Labour has the same goals as the Old Labour, but "it is more open-minded about how to achieve them…"
Higher education finance is a case where Nick Barr's own views changed over the years. "I used to regard student loans as a nasty right-wing plot," he says. "The logic of the argument turned me around 180 degrees. I realized that higher education financed by the tax payer is the average person paying for the degree of people who come disproportionately from better-off backgrounds, and it's deeply regressive."
Students may be very sensitive about tuition fees, but there is a perception that they are much less politically active than in the 1970's. Hancké thinks this is a myth. "You always had students who knew exactly that they were coming to a place like the LSE for the return on the investment," he says.
The real difference is, again, the terms of the debate. "When I was a student in the 80's you had a lot of Marxist, Leninist, Trotskyite groups," he explains. "[They debated on] the footnote in the Capital, you either have to interpret it like that or like that, and on the basis of that you wouldn't speak to each other anymore… You were against the environment or in favour of the environment; Greens were the only ones who were in favour of the environment. Now [students] are fed up with the strict party politics but they care about big issues."
Hancké describes this as a movement from a 1-0 world to a continuous world, where "different parties can start picking up bits and pieces." He thinks this allows an accounting and finance student to bring his skills into a discussion about carbon emissions offsetting. He suggests that the Student Union can organize roundtable discussions where students from different disciplines discuss policy challenges.
Julian Le Grand is a professor at the Social Policy Department, who advised Tony Blair in health policy. He explains that while students do not call themselves Marxist or socialist any more, quite a few would have anti-capitalist and anti-globalisation views. However, they do not present a real alternative.
"Their analyses certainly haven't got anything like the power of the Marxist view," he says. "That was a very clear view – one that I think was wrong, but nonetheless, a clear analysis and a clear set of ideas as to what should be done. I don't think there's any equivalent to that among students today - or indeed among intellectuals of any kind."
Hancké agrees. "My cohort didn't come up with a lot of new ideas about where you might be looking. If I look at the courses I'm teaching, the kind of debates we have there, it's not that we didn't have ideas, it's just that they were never put together in a way that they could have the battle of ideas."
He thinks that the decentralized structure of the LSE does not encourage integrated thinking. Some academics start centres such as the Centre for Analysis of Social Exclusion, but they remain focused on one policy area. "You could probably put together a reader on alternatives to neo liberal thinking based on a lot of the research that takes place at the LSE. You need to ask somebody who would take in the research and say, 'This is the political implication of what this research tells you. In terms of policy alternatives, this is where you might want to look on the basis of this research.'"
On an optimistic note, the LSE might be more Fabian than we think! When in doubt, there is nothing more reassuring than asking an American. Looking at students protesting and handing out flyers, Dillon Green, a postgraduate student at the European Institute, concludes that the LSE is "even more left-wing than Berkeley."
Dillon, too, has his reservations. "You have this dichotomy between the social scientists who are all anti-globalisation and the kids who are doing finance and economics who all want to be investment bankers. The problem is that the investment bankers don't seem to be that politically active and motivated, they are too busy trying to get jobs at the investment banks."

WATCH: Jorge Masvidal Shows off His $170,000 G-Wagon in a Video With Viral Tiktok Star Daniel Mac
By Siddharth Negi
Fighting at a global level requires a lot of hard work and dedication. A lot of fighters enter the world of MMA but only a few can step in the octagon in front of a sold-out stadium. With MMA being a multi-billion dollar business, the fighter's efforts and performance are equally rewarded.
Paydays range from a couple of thousand dollars to a few million. Besides that, big names in sports can generate a good income from various sponsorships and merch sales. UFC fighters like Conor McGregor have amassed a massive business empire with the help of his UFC career and unique personality.
UFC welterweight Jorge Masvidal has also made a name for himself in the MMA community. The welterweight is now living a much-deserved lavish life. Recently, Jake Paul had offered a whopping $5 million to box him, which he refused.
In a recent viral video, a TikTok star asked Jorge for his source of income after spotting the fighter in a Merced Benz AMG worth $170,000. 'Gamebred' replied "I go around preaching Jesus cause he's the lord and savior and then I baptize people with my fist homie"

Who is the TikTok star?
Daniel MacDonald has gone viral for asking people with expensive whips about their jobs. With his catchphrase, 'What do you do for a living?' Daniel has gained 1.5 million followers on Instagram and over 12 million fans on TikTok.

Jorge Masvidal's Net Worth in 2021
Jorge has only fought once in 2021. He clashed against current UFC welterweight champion Kamaru Usman for a rematch at UFC 261 but got knocked out in the second round. Consequently, both the fights against the champion have ended in loss. According to thesportsdaily, Jorge earned $532,000 for the rematch.
As of now, Celebrity Net Worth has estimated Masvidal's net worth to be around $6 Million.

We will eat in local restaurants, visit an organic farm, a local school, shop in the markets and enjoy the panoramic views of the Sierras Grandes Ranges. From here we travel to Buenos Aires for the grand city's quintessential art and cultural immersion: Art Museums, an artist's studio, tour of street art, literary walks, a literary lecture, a tango lesson and much more… This is a unique travel experience, taking you to places not usually visited by tourists and at a pace allowing for genuine observation and deep enjoyment.
Truly, a journey to satisfy enquiring minds and active imaginations!


While cooking is fun, being safe is the most important ingredient of any successful dish. Here are a few Kitchen Safety Rules for Kids to get you started.
This may seem obvious at first, but as your kids get more comfortable and independent in the kitchen they may forget to ask at times. I often hear my little chef rummaging around in the kitchen because he wants to surprise the family with one of his dishes. But as sweet as that sounds, I have to remind him that an adult has to be present to make sure that he stays safe even if he is doing all the work.
Little hands often carry big germs. Clean hands are so important to food safety and should be the first step before touching any food or appliance. Just remind your little one what they have been touching and ask them if they want it in their food. This always gets an "eeewwww" in my home.
Trying to handle hot plates, pots, or appliances can cause burns or you to drop food on the floor. Try getting a colorful towel or potholder that is just for them so they will be excited to use it.
I taught my kids how to use a knife at a pretty early age. First, we started with plastic to-go knives at the toddler age then at the preschool and kindergarten years we upgraded to more kid-friendly plastic knives. Now my 8-year-old has graduated to kitchen and chef knives. I believe that teaching your kids the proper way to use a knife is safer than teaching them to avoid it all together.
My kids like to lick EVERYTHING… plates, spoons, their fingers (even the countertops… don't judge me). To make sure they don't consume raw ingredients that can make them sick, let your kids know that they have to ask before they can lick.
This really should be rule number 1, 2, AND 3. Cooking with your kids is a great way to build listening skills and practice following directions. My kids get so excited to get started that we often talk about "Listening Before You Act". This is a great way to make sure they don't harm themselves in moments of excitement because they touched something that may be hot, sharp, or slippery.


What's the Latest on Supplier Consolidated Billing?
We have blogged previously about a petition filed at the Maryland Public Service Commission by five electric and natural gas retail suppliers seeking implementation of supplier consolidated billing (SCB). We did a video about it when the petition was filed, and our last blog on this topic was in February 2018, just after the legislative-style hearing concluded in Baltimore.
In the blog, you'll see that we summarized the events at the hearing and even provided a picture of the four supplier witnesses testifying before the Commission, along with Brian Greene of our firm, so that everyone could get a feel for what it's like to appear before the Commission (from the view of the Commissioners, no less!).
So what happened in the case since then, you ask?
In May 2018, the Commission issued this Notice of Briefing Schedule, requesting comments primarily on the legal issue of whether Maryland statutes allow a supplier utilizing SCB to initiate the disconnect process if the customer does not pay. Parties, including the petitioners, submitted comments on June 14 and June 28. We are now awaiting a Commission order or further guidance.
There's also an SCB proceeding pending at the Pennsylvania Commission. On June 14, 2018, the Commission held a legislative-style hearing that will continue on July 12, 2018. You can get more info on the Pennsylvania proceeding here. Delaware is also moving towards an SCB proceeding, with a recent Hearing Examiner's report in Docket No. 15-1693 recommending approval of a Stipulated Order that calls for a new docket to be opened now to address whether SCB is permitted in and should be adopted in Delaware.
