As I watched "The 3252," LAFC's passionate supporters group which stands, chants and sings in unison at every home match, I couldn't help but think about the Chargers.
You're probably wondering why anyone from Los Angeles would be thinking about the Chargers, let alone at a soccer match during the NFL offseason, but I worry about my friends from San Diego.
As an Angeleno I've accepted the Chargers as part of our growing sports landscape. I don't necessarily need them to fight for me but that's another story for another day. This city is made of transplants from all over the globe and I'm not about to tell a new resident to go back to where they came from because they're not as popular as their peers.
But I thought about the Chargers as I watched LAFC's rabid fans cheer their team Sunday night because the Chargers and LAFC entered the L.A. market around the same time, and while LAFC has attracted a passionate fan base the Chargers still are viewed as San Diego's NFL team in L.A. two years after they returned.
It's not a surprise. You didn't need to be a marketing genius to predict this would happen. You just needed to be from Los Angeles. Chargers owner Dean Spanos isn't, and didn't listen to anyone from Los Angeles when he decided to move the team here.
The Chargers had no chance of becoming Los Angeles' team after playing in San Diego for 56 years, but Spanos could have been the owner of the city's most popular NFL team if he had left the Chargers' name, history and logo in San Diego and started anew here.
When the NFL approved the Rams and Chargers' move three years ago, Los Angeles had been without a team for 21 years. A generation of fans had grown up here cheering for a team in another city or no team at all. It was the perfect market for a new team to grow a new fan base that had no ties to the Rams, who had been in St. Louis for the previous 21 years and were in Anaheim for 15 years before that.
Los Angeles was looking for a new team and a clean slate after the Rams and Raiders left town in 1995. What they got were the Rams, who were hanging their hats on a history anyone under the age of 30 had no connection to, and the Chargers, who are as much a part of San Diego as the Padres and SeaWorld.
Spanos could have come into the market with essentially an expansion team with a new name and colors, but he held tight to a false belief that Southern California was a mega market for the Chargers that would support them whether they played in San Diego or Los Angeles. The move alienated fans in San Diego and hasn't moved the needle in Los Angeles.
Spanos didn't need to fight for Los Angeles, he just needed to leave the Chargers' name and history where it belongs in San Diego.
LAFC took advantage of several factors in its remarkable rise in popularity despite coming into a market where the Galaxy had been the city's dominant, then lone MLS team and won a league-best five MLS Cups.
LAFC planted its flag in Downtown Los Angeles while the Galaxy play in Carson. LAFC brought in minority owners with name recognition such as Magic Johnson, Will Ferrell, Nomar Garciaparra and Mia Hamm. LAFC tried to connect with the community, got fans' input before unveiling the colors and logo, and opened a training facility at Cal State L.A.
It was the perfect blueprint for the Chargers to follow. They ignored it and did the opposite.
They began their "Fight for L.A." with an ill-fated L.A. logo that looked like a Dodgers knockoff and was canned less than 24 hours after it was revealed.
They planted their flag in Costa Mesa, the home of their training facility and training camp. Costa Mesa is in Orange County, not Los Angeles, and a 90-minute drive for many who live here.
Instead of bringing in someone like Kobe Bryant, who lives near the team's training facility, as a minority owner to connect with local fans, they had Spanos on Ryan Seacrest's morning show after the team moved to L.A. Worst of all, they kept the name and colors that are so synonymous with San Diego.
While the Clippers are looking to leave Staples Center when their lease is up in 2024, I fully expect them to raise their first banner in the arena before they leave. I'm not sure if they're going to win a championship, but longtime announcer Ralph Lawler deserves to have a banner with a microphone hanging in the rafters, similar to the ones for Chick Hearn and Bob Miller, after he calls his final game.
I love opening day as much as the next person, but can we please stop trying to rush players back for the first game of a 162-game season? I'd rather have a healthy team for the long run than win a game in March just because there's red, white and blue bunting in the outfield.
The Lakers' highlight of last season was Andre Ingram signing on for the final two games and making his debut as a 32-year-old rookie. I never thought Ingram signing a 10-day contract at the end of this season would be the high watermark again, but here we are.
I have no idea if Jon Gruden's second stint with the Raiders will be a success, but you have to give him credit for upgrading his wide receivers and draft position. Over the last five months he essentially traded Amari Cooper, a third-round pick and a fifth-rounder for Antonio Brown and a first-round pick. Well played, Chucky. Well played.
Shaquille O'Neal had the ceremonial grand opening of his new restaurant, Shaquille's, on Saturday at L.A. Live across the street from Staples Center. The party attracted Jeanie Buss, Tyronn Lue, Kyle Kuzma and Rajon Rondo. I'm not sure if Buss talked to Lue about becoming the next coach of the Lakers at the party or is waiting until the season is over to have that inevitable conversation.

Promoting Well-Being and Connectedness Through Distance SEL
The author's views are entirely his or her own and may not always reflect the views of Reverb.
Remember when the talk in educational circles was that computers would take over the world of education?
"There will be no need for teachers," the pessimists were preaching. "Machines will do the job."
Fast forward to 2020 and COVID-19.
One day we were teaching like any other day and the next school as we knew it no longer was.
We were told that we would be out of school for the next two weeks, and then those two weeks were extended by two more, and finally, everyone got word that the schools were shut down for the year.
And, just like that, the school year ended… or so we thought.
With one-quarter of the school year left, educators were not ready to drop their pens and pencils.
Thus, the world of K-12 education gave birth to their version of distance learning.
Already popular with colleges branching out to reach potential students not formally enrolled in their schools, K-12 educators felt this the way to go.
But was it?
Social-emotional learning has become a focus in educating the K-12 student.
The idea behind this is to connect students to adults in their school who will promote a sense of well-being and connectedness.
Through SEL skills, students develop self-awareness, self-management, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness.
This social and emotional learning means every student creates a safe and supportive school community, a community where students thrive.
At a time when cultivating equity is on the mind of all, what better way is there than SEL?
When social-emotional learning becomes deeply ingrained, it becomes a way of life for all involved.
Students and adults interact in and out of the classroom, providing a supportive, welcoming, and equitable environment.
Decades of research show that social-emotional learning increases academic achievement and improves behavior. SEL training is proven to have a long-term positive impact on community.
In the classroom feel, out of the classroom?
Is this something that can be achieved with remote education?
With our current tools, remote pedagogy eliminates the in-person element crucial for social-emotional learning to take place.
It eliminates the sense of community created in a school building.
This same sense of community should spill out from the school into the community-at-large.
Building relationships and social awareness will fall by the wayside.
Do we want equity for all students?
Do we want our kids to be socially aware, self-aware, and have self-control?
Do we want them to be able to form and maintain relationships?
This is why current distance learning cannot be the only future answer to K-12. This is why our current technology needs to improve in ways that aren't just about knowledge, but about feeling, empathy, and equality.
The solution for K-12
Remote learning, as it stands, does not fully address the SEL needs of K-12 learners.
Perhaps the solution in a post-COVD world is blended? Blended learning uses technology to further facilitate interaction between students and responsible adults.
Blended means conversations and positive influences carry to students on the go via their phones and laptops.
Blended means in-person SEL and digital convenience. It means asynchronous follow-ups and augmented learning.
Blended means educational technologists have addressed the SEL needs of students and communication needs of teachers. It means a brighter future with community, equity, and self-esteem.
But what do you think?
Can blended learning accomplish this feat? Do you have any interesting experiences with all this?
Share your thoughts in the comments below – it would be great to hear from you!

Vanga's predictions about Ukraine: Vanga's secret messages, a prophecy about events in Ukraine and politicians (3 photos)
The Bulgarian soothsayer Vangelia during her life made many prophecies regarding the future of the whole world and in particular the Slavic countries of Russia and Ukraine.
Secret messages of Vanga
Recently, experts were able to decipher the prediction regarding the real events taking place in Ukraine. Experts were stunned by the information received.
The seer's prophecies are filled with secret and indirect words, it is not always clear what her messages are about. Scientists spend a lot of time trying to unravel the essence of her predictions, many of which have not yet been deciphered. But the number of predictions that came true is so great that practically no one doubts their veracity, attention to them does not weaken, on the contrary, it increases every year.
Prophecy about events in Ukraine
Once the soothsayer saw the future events of the country adjoining the Black Sea, she did not say the name of the state, but experts are convinced that this prophecy concerns Ukrainian citizens and their lands.
Actions will take place in 2020 and will become key in the history of Ukraine. Vanga's words were interpreted as the cessation of aggression and military conflict on Ukrainian territory, the onset of an era of peace, prosperity and well-being of the nation.
She also stated that in the 20th year huge changes, unforeseen and turning points will take place, thanks to a person in whose hands is unprecedented power that affects a lot.
Experts who have deciphered the messages of the Bulgarian seer about Ukraine claim that favorable changes will take place in the country as a result of the new commander-in-chief coming to power.
Prediction about Ukrainian politicians
"There will be a cry, there will be gunpowder, there will be darkness, there will be a rabbit, but everything will dissipate and be blown away by the wind! The gunpowder will fall, and the green ruler will come to replace it, " this is the literal translation of the prophecy of Vangelia, concerning the politicians and rulers of Ukraine.
Many experts interpreted her words as a prediction that Poroshenko, Klitschko and Yatsenyuk would come to power, who during their reign would bring the country into a state of collapse, but they would be replaced by a young leader chosen by the people and change everything for the better.
Vanga uttered these words back in 1995, when the current President Vladimir Zelensky was finishing school and was not thinking about a political career.
In the spring of 2019, he became a people's choice, on whom ordinary people have great hopes and expect firm decisions from him in resolving the military conflict, reconciling fraternal peoples, improving the economic situation and improving the quality of life of the entire population of Ukraine.
Journalist Denis Sorokin commented on this prediction as follows: "In fact, the prophecy is striking in its accuracy. Poroshenko unleashed a senseless fratricidal war, and all hopes for peace are connected with Zelensky."
The seer made it clear that only after many trials, losses and great pain, the people will understand the meaning and value of life and return to a peaceful existence and lost traditions.

holding that the automatic stay did not bar the filing of a proof of claim where the debtor actively litigated a separate action during the pending bankruptcy proceeding because to "permit the automatic stay provision to be used as a trump card played after an unfavorable result was reached ... would be inconsistent with the underlying purpose of the automatic stay"

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of Utah.
Before TACHA, SETH, Circuit Judges, and BROWN, District Judge.
Honorable Wesley E. Brown, District Judge, United States District Court for the District of Kansas, sitting by designation.
Debtor J. Richard Calder has appealed from the district court's affirmance of two orders of the bankruptcy court. First, Calder objects to the bankruptcy court's denial of a discharge of his debts, see In re Calder, 93 B.R. 734 (Bankr.D.Utah 1988), and, second, Calder challenges the bankruptcy court's allowance of a proof of claim. For the reasons set forth below, we affirm.
I. [2] Background
Calder filed the underlying voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code on August 19, 1986. On November 21, 1986, Dennis and Reta Job (the Jobs), creditors of Calder, filed a complaint citing 11 U.S.C. § 727 and 11 U.S.C. § 523 and objecting to the discharge of Calder's debts. Thereafter, Dennis Job executed and filed a proof of claim based on a state court judgment obtained against Calder for legal malpractice in February, 1986. Calder filed an objection to the proof of claim apparently pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 502. In support of his objection, Calder argued that the Job's state court judgment was obtained in violation of the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) because the state court action was commenced after he had filed an earlier petition for relief under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, and that bankruptcy proceeding was not dismissed until after the state court judgment was entered.
Following a trial, the bankruptcy court ruled, on August 12, 1988, that Calder was not entitled to a discharge of his debts. In reaching this decision, the bankruptcy court focused on the Statement of Affairs and Schedule B-1 filed by Calder with his petition. The bankruptcy court determined that Calder's failure to disclose the following information in his Statement of Affairs and Schedule B-1 constituted a false oath under 11 U.S.C. § 727(a)(4)(A) precluding a discharge: (1) an ownership interest in certain mineral rights, (2) two bank accounts, and (3) monthly income which was paid by a partnership (the Redlac Partnership) to Calder as a partner after April, 1984, and through the filing of the underlying bankruptcy petition, and designated by Calder for deposit in his wife's bank account.
11 U.S.C. § 727 provides in pertinent part that "(a) The court shall grant the debtor a discharge, unless . . . (4) the debtor knowingly and fraudulently, in or in connection with the case . . . (A) made a false oath or account. . . ."
We reject Calder's argument that the bankruptcy court improperly resorted to judicial notice of his Statement of Affairs and Schedule B-1. Under Fed.R.Evid. 201(b)(2), which is applicable in bankruptcy cases, see Bankruptcy Rule 9017, a court may take judicial notice of facts that are not subject to reasonable dispute in that they are "capable of accurate and ready determination by resort to sources whose accuracy cannot reasonably be questioned." In this case the bankruptcy court, consistent with Rule 201(b)(2), simply took judicial notice of the contents of Calder's Statement of Affairs and Schedule B-1 and not the truthfulness of the assertions therein. Furthermore, the bankruptcy court, contrary to Calder's suggestion, was not required to give prior notification of its intent to take notice. The burden rested with Calder to make a request for a hearing to challenge the propriety of taking judicial notice even after notice had been taken. See Fed.R.Evid. 201(e).
On October 13, 1988, the bankruptcy court entered a separate order rejecting Calder's objection to Dennis Job's proof of claim. The bankruptcy court determined that Calder could not claim the protections of the automatic stay under section 362(a) because he "failed to timely perform his obligation to provide notice to the state court of the fact that he had previously filed a petition under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code, and . . . that failure constitutes a de facto stipulation between the Debtor and Job to grant Job relief from the automatic stay." The district court summarily affirmed both the denial of discharge and the allowance of the proof of claim.
While the proceedings were pending in the district court, Dennis Job died.
II. [6] Denial of Discharge
Ten categories of circumstances which can forestall a debtor's receipt of a discharge in bankruptcy are described in 11 U.S.C. § 727(a). Calder does not dispute that an omission of assets from a Statement of Affairs or schedule may constitute a false oath under section 727(a)(4)(A). Farmers Co-op. Ass'n v. Strunk, 671 F.2d 391, 395 (10th Cir. 1982). To trigger section 727(a)(4)(A), the false oath must relate to a material matter and must be made willfully with intent to defraud. See 4 Collier on Bankruptcy, ¶ 727.04[1] at 727-54 to -57 (15th ed. 1987).
We agree with the bankruptcy court that each of Calder's omissions was a material matter that would support denial of discharge. The omitted information concerned the existence and disposition of Calder's property. See In re Chalik, 748 F.2d 616, 618 (11th Cir. 1984) ("The subject matter of a false oath is `material,' and thus sufficient to bar discharge if it bears a relationship to the bankrupt's business transactions or estate, or concerns the discovery of assets, business dealings, or the existence and disposition of his property."). Calder has argued that he should not be denied a discharge of his debts because the undisclosed bank accounts and mineral interest were worthless assets. However, a "recalcitrant debtor may not escape a section 727(a)(4)(A) denial of discharge by asserting that the admittedly omitted . . . information concerned a worthless business relationship or holding; such a defense is specious." Id.
Calder's primary contention on appeal is that the bankruptcy court erred in denying him discharge on the basis of the omitted information because these omissions were not made fraudulently within the meaning of section 727(a)(4)(A). Calder contends that the nondisclosures were merely the result of inadvertence. As Calder points out, much of his testimony at the trial on the objection to discharge, not surprisingly, was to the effect that he did not act with a fraudulent intent. Furthermore, Calder asserts that he did not disclose the transfer of income from the Redlac Partnership to his wife's bank account after April, 1984, because that transfer was a gift and the Statement of Affairs only required disclosure of "gifts . . . to family members" made during the year immediately preceding the filing of the petition.
The problem in ascertaining whether a debtor acted with fraudulent intent is difficult because, ordinarily, the debtor will be the only person able to testify directly concerning his intent and he is unlikely to state that his intent was fraudulent. Williamson v. Fireman's Fund Ins. Co., 828 F.2d 249, 252 (4th Cir. 1987). Therefore, fraudulent intent may be deduced from the facts and circumstances of a case. In re Devers, 759 F.2d 751, 754 (9th Cir. 1985); see also Farmers Co-op. Ass'n, 671 F.2d at 395 ("Fraudulent intent of course may be established by circumstantial evidence, or by inferences drawn from a course of conduct."). The bankruptcy court's ultimate determination concerning fraudulent intent will not be set aside unless clearly erroneous. Williamson, 828 F.2d at 252.
In this case, several facts and circumstances, not disputed by Calder, support the bankruptcy court's conclusion that Calder acted fraudulently in making false oaths in connection with his bankruptcy. First, Calder, as the bankruptcy court noted, is an experienced attorney practicing exclusively in bankruptcy law. He should be aware that those who seek shelter of the bankruptcy code must provide "complete, truthful and reliable information." In re Tully, 818 F.2d 106, 110 (1st Cir. 1987). Furthermore, it is significant that there was not one but four separate omissions from Calder's Statement of Affairs and Schedule B-1. See Williamson, 828 F.2d at 252. Finally, as the bankruptcy court also noted, records of the Redlac Partnership continued to reflect Calder's interest in the partnership after April, 1984. Thus, there is no indication that Calder absolutely and irrevocably divested himself of domination and control over his future partnership income in April, 1984. In view of these facts, we cannot say that the bankruptcy court's findings of fraudulent intent was clearly erroneous.
III. [12] Allowance of Proof of Claim
Under section 362(a), the filing of a bankruptcy petition creates a broad automatic stay protecting the property of the debtor. Ordinarily, any action taken in violation of the stay is void and without effect, Ellis v. Consolidated Diesel Elec. Corp., 894 F.2d 371, 372 (10th Cir. 1990), even where there is no actual notice of the existence of the stay, In re Smith, 876 F.2d 524, 526 (6th Cir. 1989). Nevertheless, equitable principles may, in some circumstances, be applicable to claimed violations of the stay. The existing case law indicates that courts will apply equitable considerations at least where the creditor was without actual knowledge of a bankruptcy petition and the bankrupt's unreasonable behavior contributed to the creditor's plight. See, e.g., In re Smith Corset Shops, Inc., 696 F.2d 971, 976-77 (1st Cir. 1982) (debtor not entitled to protection where debtor remained "stealthily silent" while creditor obtained a default judgment and execution from a state court in violation of the automatic stay); see also Matthews v. Rosene, 739 F.2d 249, 251 (7th Cir. 1984) (laches barred debtor's attempt to void a 33-month-old state court judgment on the basis of the automatic stay).
In our view, it would be inequitable to allow Calder to claim any protections of the automatic stay under section 362(a) to defeat the Jobs' state court judgment. The basic undisputed fact apparent from the record is that Calder actively litigated the state court action and did not provide notice of the pending Chapter 13 proceeding until just before the state court was to enter a final judgment. Calder must bear some responsibility for his unreasonable delay in asserting his rights under section 362(a). Calder's only explanation, that he forgot, is not a legitimate excuse for his delay. To hold otherwise and permit the automatic stay provision to be used as a trump card played after an unfavorable result was reached in state court, would be inconsistent with the underlying purpose of the automatic stay which is to give a debtor "`a breathing spell from his creditors.'" Ellis, 894 F.2d at 373 (quoting Association of St. Croix Condominium Owners v. St. Croix Hotel Corp., 682 F.2d 446, 449 (3d Cir. 1982)).
The bankruptcy court did not expressly state that it was relying on equitable principles as a basis for allowing Dennis Job's proof of claim. Nevertheless, this court is free to affirm the bankruptcy court's determination on any ground supported by the record. Reynolds v. United States, 643 F.2d 707, 710 (10th Cir.), cert. denied, 454 U.S. 817, 102 S.Ct. 94, 70 L.Ed.2d 85 (1981).
Accordingly, the district court's affirmance of the orders of the bankruptcy court is AFFIRMED.

Bernard "Bernie" Privin (* 12. Februar 1919 in Brooklyn, New York City; † 8. Oktober 1999 in White Plains (New York)) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazz-Trompeter und Flügelhornist des Swing.

Biografie
Bernie Privin war Autodidakt, lernte zunächst Mellophon und wechselte, nachdem er mit dreizehn Jahren Louis Armstrong gehört hatte, zur Trompete. Bereits als Jugendlicher begann er in Clubs aufzutreten, schließlich in den Bands von Harry Reser (1937), Bunny Berigan und Tommy Dorsey (1938) zu spielen. Ende der 30er spielte er mit Buddy Rich im Picadilly Hotel. 1940 war er Musiker in der Broadway-Show Kiss Me Kate. Bekannter wurde er als Solist in den Orchestern von Artie Shaw (1938/39), Mal Hallett, Benny Goodman (1941/42) und Charlie Barnet (1940/41 und 1943) sowie mit Jerry Wald. Während seines Militärdienstes gehörte er der Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band an. Mit der Glenn Miller-Band kam er auch 1944 nach Europa, Ende Januar 1945 wirkte er in Paris an Sessions von Peanuts Hucko, Mel Powell und Ray McKinley mit Django Reinhardt mit. Nach Kriegsende kehrte er für zwei Jahre zur Goodman-Band zurück; 1940 begann er in New York als Studiomusiker zu arbeiten, zunächst ab 1948 für Perry Como, ab 1950 in den Studios der CBS, wo er in den nächsten drei Jahrzehnten tätig war. Unter anderem nahm er mit Sy Oliver (1949–51), Louis Armstrong/Billie Holiday, Neal Hefti/Charlie Parker (als Solist in "Temptation", 1952 zu hören), Al Caiola und Mel Powell auf, arbeitete mit Jerry Gray und ging mit der Tommy Dorsey Ghost Band auf Tour.

1974 war Privin mit der All-Star-Band Kings of Jazz auf Europatournee, u. a. mit Pee Wee Erwin und Johnny Mince, im Jahr darauf mit der New York Jazz Repertory Company. Danach ersetzte er Billy Butterfield kurzzeitig in The World's Greatest Jazz Band. Im Laufe seiner Karriere hatte er nur zweimal Gelegenheit unter eigenem Namen aufzunehmen, ein Album für Regent (1956) mit einem Quintett, zu dem auch Al Cohn gehörte, und für das schwedische Label HMT im Jahr 1969. Eine Parkinson-Erkrankung setzte seiner Karriere ein Ende.

1. 1 John 5:4 is the key passage we are emphasizing in our lesson.
2. As we examine this verse, we see that John mentioned a special "victory."
3. The victory John wrote about is "overcoming the world."
4. According to this verse, "overcoming the world" involves 2 steps.
a. Step #1: We must be born of God -- "For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world."
b. Step #2: We must live by faith -- "And this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith."
5. In our lesson we are examining a number of Scriptures that relate to these 2 steps.
6. Let us begin with the first step.
I. TO OVERCOME THE WORLD, WE MUST BE "BORN OF GOD"
B. Later, Jesus explained this birth process in John 3:3-5 during his conversation with Nicodemus.
1. This new birth is essential for entering God's kingdom.
2. This new birth consists of being "born of water and of the Spirit."
C. Some additional information about this birth is found in Titus 3:3-7.
1. It is through this birth that God saves us by His mercy and grace.
2. This birth consists of "the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit."
D. Notice how this harmonizes with Acts 2:38-41.
E. The first step in overcoming the world is being "born of God."
F. This brings us to the second step.
1. This adversary is identified in 1 Peter 5:8.
2. (1 Peter 5:9) He must be steadfastly resisted "in the faith."
3. We must resist Satan because he wants the world to overcome us.
B. As we endeavor to live by faith, we will face challenges.
C. To continue living by faith as we face these challenges, we must "cast away" certain things.
D. Let us consider several things we must cast away so we can live by faith and overcome the world.
1. We must cast away anything that will cause us to stumble (Matthew 18:7-9).
2. We must cast away "the works of darkness" (Romans 13:12) [John showed why in 1 John 1:5-7].
3. We must cast away our cares (1 Peter 5:6-7) [Paul also dealt with this in Philippians 4:6].
4. We must cast away fear (1 John 4:18) [love is the alternative].
5. While we must cast these things away so we can live by faith, . . .
E. We must not cast away something very special mentioned in Hebrews 10:35-39.

Codeforces Round #504 (rated, Div. 1 + Div. 2, based on VK Cup 2018 Final)
A. Single Wildcard Pattern Matching
You are given two strings $$$s$$$ and $$$t$$$. The string $$$s$$$ consists of lowercase Latin letters and at most one wildcard character '*', the string $$$t$$$ consists only of lowercase Latin letters. The length of the string $$$s$$$ equals $$$n$$$, the length of the string $$$t$$$ equals $$$m$$$.
The wildcard character '*' in the string $$$s$$$ (if any) can be replaced with an arbitrary sequence (possibly empty) of lowercase Latin letters. No other character of $$$s$$$ can be replaced with anything. If it is possible to replace a wildcard character '*' in $$$s$$$ to obtain a string $$$t$$$, then the string $$$t$$$ matches the pattern $$$s$$$.
For example, if $$$s=$$$"aba*aba" then the following strings match it "abaaba", "abacaba" and "abazzzaba", but the following strings do not match: "ababa", "abcaaba", "codeforces", "aba1aba", "aba?aba".
If the given string $$$t$$$ matches the given string $$$s$$$, print "YES", otherwise print "NO".
The first line contains two integers $$$n$$$ and $$$m$$$ ($$$1 \le n, m \le 2 \cdot 10^5$$$) — the length of the string $$$s$$$ and the length of the string $$$t$$$, respectively.
The second line contains string $$$s$$$ of length $$$n$$$, which consists of lowercase Latin letters and at most one wildcard character '*'.
The third line contains string $$$t$$$ of length $$$m$$$, which consists only of lowercase Latin letters.
Print "YES" (without quotes), if you can obtain the string $$$t$$$ from the string $$$s$$$. Otherwise print "NO" (without quotes).
code*s
codeforces
vk*cup
vkcup
gfgf*gfgf
gfgfgf
In the first example a wildcard character '*' can be replaced with a string "force". So the string $$$s$$$ after this replacement is "codeforces" and the answer is "YES".
In the second example a wildcard character '*' can be replaced with an empty string. So the string $$$s$$$ after this replacement is "vkcup" and the answer is "YES".
There is no wildcard character '*' in the third example and the strings "v" and "k" are different so the answer is "NO".
In the fourth example there is no such replacement of a wildcard character '*' that you can obtain the string $$$t$$$ so the answer is "NO".


LADR History | LADR | Wir leben Labor.
We were the first medical laboratory practice in Germany. After the Second World War, Dr. Siegfried Kramer, MD founded the laboratory, in Geesthacht, in the duchy of Lauenburg in Schleswig-Holstein in May of 1945. Today, the city of Geesthacht is just a few minutes' drive from Hamburg, and is connected to Lower Saxony and nearby Lüneburg by a bridge across the Elbe River. Dr. Siegfried Kramer received an order from the allied forces to build a cross-regional, sanitary epidemic examination office. He set up a laboratory virtually from scratch , and demonstrated high levels of commitment and flexibility, as well as initial successes in preventing epidemics using laboratory examinations. A central medical laboratory for the entire North Germany region developed in the following few years.
Traditional medical freedom. In 1960, Dr. Siegfried Kramer was recognized as one of the first specialists in laboratory medicine.
At the end of the 1960s, large equipment was added to the laboratory, and electronic data processing was introduced in the 1970s. Laboratory analysis became the basis of modern medical practice. The number of analyses rose along with the continuously increasing quality requirements and faster turn-around times. His son, Dr. Detlef Kramer, MD, specialist in laboratory medicine and in microbiology and infectious epidemiology, joined the practice in the mid-1970s, and it started to become apparent that cooperation between several physicians may be beneficial in an effort to meet the long-term professional and economic requirements taking into account the increasing number of regulations.
A partner for your practice! Now that the medical laboratory network has been expanded, the logistical and operational requirements have increased. In an effort to make more effictive use of the laboratory's courier services for local physicians, Dr. Detlef Kramer and Dr. Siegfried Kramer established Intermed Service, which successfully pursues the sales of medical supplies. During its 25 years of existence, Intermed became increasingly important - as a partner for the requesting physician offices, it provided many different services. Moreover, affiliated laboratories were also supported by Intermed in various areas at the laboratory organizational level.
Teamwork and mutual support. Today, LADR is a national association of medical laboratories in Germany who joined forces to provide medical laboratory services on a regional basis. The specialized medical laboratory practices are organized as medical support centers all under one roof. The regional specialists mostly collaborate independently on behalf of the regional branches, with a special emphasis on a good working relationship with the supervisory laboratory association. Administrative services such as IT, purchasing, logistics, marketing and field sales, human resources, accounting and contracting are provided as part of the Intermed Service, with the aim of achieving synergies. The regional specialists receive support for their administrative duties and are therefore able to concentrate on their professional tasks on-site. Legal and policy limitations mean that it is vital to achieve economically optimized collaboration in terms of rationalization in order to provide sustainable and high-quality services. The company structure is excellent, and as a result international cooperation with several laboratories in other countries has also been established.
Your on-site laboratory! When the laboratory founder's grandson, Prof. Dr. Jan Kramer, MD, specialist in laboratory medicine and in internal medicine joined the medical service center, Dr. Kramer & Associates in Geesthacht in 2009 and the management staff of the LADR-Association in 2012, the company, and particularly the laboratory segment of LADR has remained an owner-operated medical company despite the fact that trends tend to be reversed in the healthcare sector around the world . Despite all of the commercial and economic pressures, the central focus of our medical activities is to guarantee regional medical laboratory services at a standard which remains high to our requesting physicians and our mutual patients. Providing summarized and rare specialized medical analyses means that the company can improve turn-around results. A result report for over 90% of specialized analyses is prepared the same day the sample is submitted. The results of a basic analysis for the diagnostic decision-making process are available to the requesting party from the on-site laboratory within a few hours of drawing blood. We support our requesting physicians with advanced training in the framework of the cross-regional LADR academy, as well as with qualified consulting services and informational materials.
Quality and speed. Currently, the LADR-Association has over 2,000 employees working with the Dr. Kramer & Associates laboratory. Medical analysis samples are picked up on daily basis from over 20,000 local physicians and more than 200 clinics,. The association partner's certified couriers travel around the globe three times per day to ensure an optimized medical support procedure on-site. Well over 2,000 different analysis procedures can be carried out in the LADR laboratories. The central laboratory in Geesthacht alone processed more than 2.5 million laboratory orders in 2010. A patient and his personal outcome are behind each order and each medical sample vial.
Consulting and availability. Constant medical advancement and specialization in all professional areas result in an increased number of requirements on physicians and all other parties involved in the healthcare industry. Cross-regional and interdisciplinary collaboration is one advantage of the association structure. The LADR-Association provides more than 100 specialists in laboratory medicine, microbiology, hygiene and human genetics, as well as diverse clinical specialties and experts in natural science disciplines for qualified consultations in person. The interdisciplinary collaboration means that qualified advice is available for all laboratory analysis inquiries. We guarantee constant availability to our requesting physicians through our expert group hotlines and emergency telephone numbers for medical laboratory and microbiological and toxicology inquiries.
Specialists for personal care are available in our medical care centers (MVZ) (MCC, Medical Care Centers) on-site. All medical laboratory facilities for basic analyses (laboratory groups) and hospital support facilities also have qualified management. Do you have any questions? Feel free to contact us!

Love goes beyond death – Torajas bizarre heritage – Overview
Feeding dead relatives, sacrificing herds of buffalos to their honors, persistent mummification? While for most of us, already talking about death is a taboo, for the Torajans inhabiting the picturesque mountain setting in South Sulawesi it's a lifelong task – as death doesn't really mean a final farewell. Toraja's view on death is one of the most fascinating cultural heritage which made it to modern times.
The deceased remain for years if not decades in the family house, awaiting the very moment their folk have saved up enough money to throw a tremendous party. In Torajan belief corpses are treated as if sick until their soul will finally find peace after the funeral rites of "Rambu Solo". Accordingly, I wasn't surprised to wittnessed dead family members being invited to join lunch, or to have a smoke together with the living. Once being buried, the ancestors will be regularly taken out of their coffins for Ma'Nene – to get a new fancy outfit and a decent bone polish. "It's basically like cleaning the room" states a friend casually who just returned from his mining job in Lao to participate in the family affairs. Stereotypically, the Torajans tend to get labeled as old-fashioned or eccentric because of their spiritual beliefs. After all, the ethnicity has modernised, they use mobile phones and go study in metropolitan Jakarta. Leaving out the rites for a moment – they would be quite normal Joes. But admirably, the seem to have found a way to maintain their exclusive death cult surpassing some nine centuries, despite the increasing influence of world religions and the dashing modernization.
Condemn or admire? To the modern world, this overwhelming intimacy between the living and the dead may seem perverse. In contrast, children who abandon their parents by sending them into retirement homes earliest possible, or outsourced tomb care including flower pouring service would shock most of Torajans. Very few of us might remember, but with the raise of film cameras in beginning of the 19th century, post mortem photography was a big deal in Europe. A momentum which would not last forever, eventually because dead became a more cruel thing to deal with over the years. But back then, it was widespread to jazz up relatives who just passed away to get them properly photographed – Portraits of a deceased sitting in an armchair with its favorite pet, or even family group photos with dead relatives were as usual as going to the church on Sunday. Some creative photographers have even drawn pupils onto dead eyelids to get the impression the person would still be alive. Thus, why is it so easy to watch how dozens of people get killed in action movies, but in real life, we prefer to aware fair distance to death. Nowadays, as soon as we have closed the coffin lid, we move on to more livable tasks. For the Torajans, keeping their deceased at home for a good while, extraordinary ceremonial parties and even exhumation is a greater way to honor their beloved ones.
The projects include dozens of emotional, funny and distressing images I was able to take during the past 3 weeks of research within Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi (Indonesia). If you've just eaten, please wait for a while until you take a look at it. To have a complete overview I also interviewed the head shaman (Tato Dena, who was on BBC in the 70s) as well as the son of a "Toma Kula" (a sick person), who is storing his dead father in the family house since 11 years. Last but not least I met two local weathermen who claim to have control over the rain.

Ma'Nene ritual – Emotions
Ma'Nene (care of ancestors) is all about remembering those who have passed away. Although relatives moved to other countries or cities, they will come back for this important family gathering to celebrate Ma'Nene together. During the event the Torajan families clean the corpses of their loved ones, and in some areas they even change their outfit and make fun with them. Ma'Nene follows right after the rice harvest, otherwise the spirits of ancestors would be angry, and next years harvest is bound to be bad. In Torajan belief, all the customs follow a difficult system of rules, which have been orally delivered from generation to generation. Follow this link to read more about Ma'Nene.

Rambu Solo – Funeral
"Is there a funeral going on?" I hear outsiders asking in the town of Rantepao. Indeed, to witness a Rambu Solo is fascinating in its very own way. During a special ritual, the soul of the deceased supposed to raise to Puya (heaven). The more buffalos sacrificed, the faster the soul will find its way. Hence, a whole herd of expensive animals will be slaughtered to ensure a nice trip to Puya, and not least to please all the relatives and the rest of the village with a decent feast. Some families wait years if not decades until they can agree on a funeral date. All family members living abroad will return to Toraja and bring their savings to contribute. Others will ask for a bank loan to finance the event. The ethnicity literally "lives to die."
Here's all the information you need!
Fancy more content about Rambu Solo'? Find out more here!
Toma Kula' – "The sick Person"
"Please wake for lunch", Pairuan addresses the lifeless body of Pong Masak, in indigenous tongue, offering his father a bowl of rice. In Toraja, it's customary to feed the deceased every day, and to keep the corpse cozily beded in a separate room of the family house until the family can afford a proper funeral. In contrast to common beliefs, Torajans treat their beloved relative as if being sick – not dead.
Check out the interview with Pairuan or follow this link to the full story and more images.
Yes, there is more, read the full story and watch more images.
Aluk To Dolo "The way of the ancestors" (spirit belief)
The first Dutch missionaries flocked to Toraja roughly a century ago. No surprise christianity is Toraja's most prevalent religion, although the spirit belief "Aluk To Dolo" was previously transformed into hinduism to fit the strict religious system of Indonesia. However, most Torajans are officially Jesus-fans and show up well-behaved in church on Sunday, but they've found a way to keep their animism and even the cast system alive.
To find out more, check out this link.
Magic vs. Rain
With six months of wet season per year and funeral ceremonies in the range from 50'000 to 500'000 USD, being a weatherman in Toraja is good business. Weathermen get hired to fight the rain with magic and are part of the enduring myths in Toraja like the buffalo-highway for souls or the hunter who buried an abandoned corpse and gets rewarded with luck for a lifetime. Reason enough to arrange a meetup and to find out more about their rituals. Read about my experience here.

Legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has backed a Leicester theatre group for young people to the tune of £27,500.
New Theatre Talent is a year-long training programme for 18 to 25 year olds provided by Curve in the city centre and has received backing from the musical man's foundation – which he set up in 1992.
The grant is one of £1million worth handed out nationwide following the organisation's 'Centre Stage' report which identified a need to back young talent.
Andrew Lloyd Webber said: "I'm delighted to see the range and depth of the initiatives that the Foundation is funding.
Twenty-five people are now set to take part in the New Theatre Talent programme.
Managed by Leicester Theatre Trust, this aims to recruit talented young adults from BAME backgrounds.
The scheme will focus on providing free training for stage and musical performance skills which will culminate in a final musical showcase at Curve.
"We're absolutely thrilled to have received this support from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Foundation.
"As a registered charity, funding like this enables Curve to promote diversity within the arts and this grant will fund a pilot programme to introduce BAME young talent from across our county with pathways into a career in theatre.
"This year-long training programme will allow the New Theatre Talent participants to work with exceptional artists and tutors to enhance their own acting, vocal and movement skills and meet with the creative teams to inspire them in their future careers.
The Leicester Theatre Trust is an independent charitable organisation which took over the operation of Curve in 2008.
A production with music written by Mr Webber is also set to be showcased in September at Curve.
Tony Award-winning masterpiece Sunset Boulevard will kick off a two week run on Saturday, September 16.


According to a recently published report of the Indian Council of Medical Research, air pollution accounted for 12.4 lakhs deaths in India in 2017 which included 6.7 lakhs deaths due to outdoor air pollution. The report also stated that average life expectancy in India would have been 1.7 years higher if air pollution levels were within permissible limits. In India, special efforts thus have been made by Government of India to reduce ground level air pollution (transport sector) by leapfrogging with implementation of BS IV to BS VI from 2020. The aim is to reduce the adverse impacts of fuel related particulate matter (PM) from the city of Delhi. The project in partnership with the Maulana Azad Medical College and Indian Oil Corporation Limited, R&D Centre have the specific objectives: a) To generate data on air borne pollutants by deploying air quality monitoring van. ; b) To collect clinical and biometric information of individuals exposed to air pollution. ; c) To study the effect and severity of pollutants on human health.

It is certainly the finest Hentai around, and it 's a notch up from its hentai rival. Specifically, you need to look into HentaiFreak. They 're a legitimate anime streaming website, and they 've got the hentai for you.
Enthusiast in Law is a sexy anime series and there 's no doubt that the show 's central lead character, Tsutomu, is good-looking enough to make a woman envious. It 's his sister-in-law, Mai, who actually takes the show. When Tsutomu gets home, he 's not exactly bristling with enjoyment. What Hentai Should I Watch
Mai has her other half 's finest interests at heart. Tsutomu 's more youthful brother is on the go at work and his older brother or sister is in a various town, so he 's not precisely around to stick to. Tsutomu 's cool kin tucker does the trick.
Night Shift Nurses is a hentai anime series. It is about a nurse and a health center who are prepared to serve sexually demanding clients. There are numerous stories in the series. The story starts when a young medical professional, called Souichiro Kuwabara, chooses to operate at the Sei-Katorea General Hospital. He is dubbed as a "Super Elite Doctor " by the staff.
He was previously an employee at the St. Juliana Hospital, a place he was raped by his own staff member. He got the job at the healthcare facility due to his skills.
On the other hand, a quite nurse called Nogami meets a young medical professional who likewise works at the medical facility. They start to flirt with one another. Eventually, they fall in love and get married. It 's all part of the strategy to become the new head of the medical facility. They are not the only ones with a desire to be the brand-new manager.
This is one of the most controversial hentai animes. It contains a lot of mind games and psychological manipulation. The visuals are also much better than the majority of hentai releases. What Hentai Should I Watch
If you 've been taking note of the pop culture fraternity referred to as the Internet, you may have become aware of Hentai Porn. This is a biz that has a lot of traction in the Western world. As a matter of truth, there are a number of sites that offer it. Among these is the aforementioned PussySpace. It uses more than 2 thousand adult videos in varying genres and lengths. You might not have actually guessed it from its name, however this website has a myriad of attractive lassies to pick from. And if you 're aiming to spend some quality time with your preferred pornstars, there 's no need to break the bank. The very best part is that this website is totally complimentary. You can even download a copy of their Hentai pornography software to play on your PC or Mac. It 's a great method to relax. What Hentai Should I Watch

It 's a website to be proud of if you 're a real Pornstar enthusiast. And if you 're searching for a way to entertain yourself on a rainy night, this might be just the ticket. This isn 't a website for the faint of heart though.
If you 're trying to find an uncensored hentai anime, you 've come to the best location. Anime shows that fall under this category can typically be revealed on tv, and there are even a number of series readily available on DVD.
This kind of anime can be really racy, as the characters normally wear semi-tight clothing and typically have genital areas concealed. There are likewise lots of uncensored anime shows that feature full, public nudes. These shows are typically called ero-manga, which is a neologism for adult manga.
Another ecchi anime program is Shaft. This anime has some flaws, however it is still a good one. It has some terrific fan service scenes, which belong to its success.
There is also the High School DxD. This is a PG-13 anime that has some naughty scenes, which are extremely pleasurable. It is also a fine example of modern Japanese NSFW animation. It has a falling angel character and sensual fan service scenes.

The ecchi category can be unsafe when it includes a large number of anime women wearing semi-tight clothing. There are also some ecchi anime series that show sexual referrals and misconceptions.
It 's worth a shot however, as this man 's got what it takes to win the big prize.
They 're a legitimate anime streaming site, and they 've got the hentai for you. Fan in Law is a hot anime series and there 's no doubt that the program 's main protagonist, Tsutomu, is good-looking enough to make a lady envious. Tsutomu 's more youthful brother is on the go at work and his older sibling is in a various town, so he 's not precisely around to cling to. It 's a site to be proud of if you 're a real Pornstar enthusiast.

This version incorporates the new reduced RNG mode (known as law mode, with the previous rules known as chaos mode).
With law mode games, casting of spells is done by spending mana and creatures have hitpoints which are reduced according the the ration of attack to defence values. Spell decks are still built randomly. Some other random elements remain - paralyse spell/attack, wind walker attack, spider web attack, subversion spell, magic attack spell loss and some talisman effects.
The tutorials and game guide have not been updated yet, although the tutorial is operating in law mode.

2015 Neil Shepard Prize in Fiction, judged by Molly Antopol
Vilnius was the last place she wanted to be. She distrusted its beautiful streets winding past courtyards full of cars and cats and huddled ghosts, its beautiful flowers in wrapped tight bundles for sale on the wide boulevards, the crumbling church at the prison, the narrow shallow river that ran through the park. Even the flocks of swallows seemed to be telling her something important about her life so far. Everywhere she looked there was something significant going on, a man touching a woman's lips with his thumb. A woman unfurling an umbrella when there was no rain in sight. Little children played instruments of different types along the busiest street where tourists arrived in busloads and trainloads from all over the place. Minsk, Wisconsin, Japan. And who was she in the middle of all this choreographed confusion, but a woman, on the verge of being old, bundled into herself, wondering about her child now grown, her husband solicitous, her memories washed away like the dirt, poured down sloping streets to the river in the park.
Vilnius was the last place she wanted to be. Her cat talking to her by the geraniums, thirsty at the door. The narrow man who lived with his mother in the next apartment beating his rug on the line as she watched from the window. The dust flying up into the air in clouds, covering the little white dog from next door, the butterflies in the bush on the edge of the wild grass, her fingernails as she poured water for the cat, the perfect flowers of the hollyhock. He beat the striped red rug and then brushed it with several swift downward sweeps and then beat the rug and brushed it again and again until there was hardly any dust in the air at all.
Vilnius was the last place she wanted to be. But there it was. The coffee in her hand that morning, the sound of trucks coming up the hill past the apartment. The empty square where Lenin used to stand. The empty woods where her grandmother was shot. She was lucky to be here at all and wouldn't be, would she, if her mother hadn't been lucky enough to walk one morning out of the ghetto down the hill to the park and into another life. It was a kind of miracle, something she didn't like to think about but had to now and then. Soon she wouldn't be here at all, but somewhere else. Nevada, Vermont, Philadelphia.
Vilnius was the last place she wanted to be. A city in the middle of woods. She could never get warm even when he lit all the lamps and stuffed the stove with wood and rubbed her feet with his hands. She was eating the beautiful red berries her child picked in the woods and the baskets full of mushrooms curled and yellow her husband sold in the market. She was eating quail eggs scrambled in a wide pan. She was eating all the bounty of the forest, but was still hungry. It was strange that this went on for so long in such a city so filled with balconies filigreed, delicate, hung on the sides of buildings with such skill.
Vilnius was the last place she wanted to be. She thought she was telling herself the truth when she said that, when she told the stranger sitting on the hard bench at the airport that kind of thing. She thought it was certainly true as she poured water into her cup, or picked up a bunch of bananas in the market, or swallowed the first sip of tea, or petted the coarse hair of the little white dog who lived in the beautiful courtyard. Someone was vacuuming on a Sunday. It was early but there were no bells ringing. It was unusual to be in such a Catholic city and not hear bells ring on Sunday morning. Someone had cut the grass in the courtyard and the white butterflies had all gone away, vanished. There was so much that had disappeared. Sometimes the tree by the window was full of birds, and sometimes there was no sound at all. An airplane flew overhead. The flight path must have changed, she thought. She had never heard an airplane here before.
The sky was shot through with clouds. Every day since she arrived the sky was pure blue. Innocent, benign, all those words that meant one is not responsible for anything. Not anything at all. She, certainly, was not one to blame, even if this and that had happened and now the women with sheer apricot and green dresses stepped lightly on the streets where everything that happened before was no longer there.

Obamacare and Business Values
Filed under: corporations, health, Uncategorized, values |
Yesterday, the US Supreme court mostly upheld Obamacare, also known as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. (See the full decision here [PDF].)
The Big Decision may have been made, but clearly lots remains to be sorted out. One of the questions that arises, from an ethical point of view, is the way that businesses, including especially insurance companies, should conduct themselves under the new plan.
Under Obamacare, Americans will be required to carry health insurance (or face a penalty) and, importantly, insurance companies will be required to sell policies to all comers, regardless of pre-existing health conditions. While the debate has focused primarily on the proper role of government, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act clearly has significant implications for private companies.
Note how different this is from, for example, Canada's system. In Canada, insurance is provided by provincial health plans, and care is provided by physicians (as private contractors) and private, not-for-profit hospitals. Private insurers still play a role in pharmaceutical coverage, but almost no role at all in basic healthcare. Under Obamacare, in comparison, insurance companies effectively become an instrument of public policy: important elements of the way they conduct their business (and in particular the actuarial rules they apply) will no longer be up to them. This is far from the only example of private companies playing a role in public insurance: in the UK, private companies play a significant role in administering employment insurance services, and in some Canadian provinces private insurance brokers sell auto insurance plans underwritten by a public insurer. With regard to insurance, the distinction between private and public is far from water-tight.
How should companies conduct themselves when they play a role in delivering publicly-mandated insurance? Should they continue to think of themselves entirely as private, profit-seeking entities? Or should they — like industrial firms during times of war — take up public values?
Just what values are instantiated in a public insurance scheme is a matter of some debate. Public insurance schemes are often seen as promoting egalitarian values — 'we're all equal and hence all deserve equal access to basic healthcare.' Others argue that what's really at stake in such schemes is not equality, but efficiency (and argue that the current patchwork American system, for example, is quite inefficient in a number of ways). Others argue that, for insurance quite generally, solidarity is the key value — and one with obvious salience when insurance is part of the welfare state. Of course, to the extent that insurance companies are "merely" private corporations, they are guided by basic norms related to loyally seeking profits for shareholders. But even private insurance companies are subject to special limits on their profit-seeking. From a legal point of view, it is recognized that insurance companies are morally special: the legal principle of uberrima fides implies that the level of trust required between insurer and insured makes the relationship special, from an ethical point of view. And then, with regard to mutuals and not-for-profit insurers, stewardship of a shared resource (i.e., the insurance fund upon which members rely) is a key value. It seems right that private and public insurers would be guided by different mixes of these values.
So the question American health insurance companies face, at least in principle, is whether they should conduct themselves like private or public entities. And the question Americans face is which standard to hold them to. The answer, I think, is not clear. But it's worth pointing out that the goals of an institution — public or private — don't automatically have to be the goals of the larger system of which it is part. As I've pointed out elsewhere, the individual parts of a system don't need to act according to the values of that system — sometimes they contribute by playing a more narrow role.
The coming years are sure to see significant changes in the US insurance industry. Whether the US government can succeed in getting private insurers to play a public-policy role remains to be seen, and depends in part on the willingness of those insurers to take up a public mission. But it depends just as much on whether the system Obama has designed is capable of harnessing the profit motive of insurance companies using it to get them to perform an important social function.

Svartmaskad vråk (Leucopternis melanops) är en fågel i familjen hökar inom ordningen hökfåglar.

Utseende och läte
Svartmaskad vråk är en satt och rätt liten svartvit vråk. Ytligt sett är den mycket lik vitvråken, men är mycket mindre med orange, ej blågrå, vaxhud vid näbben. Karakteristiskt är också en tydlig svart ansiktsmask som gett arten sitt namn. Den är också lik närbesläktade arten vitbrynad vråk, men har mindre svart streckning på huvud och hals, liksom vita fläckar på ryggen. Lätet är en ljus och genomträngande fallande vissling.

Utbredning och systematik
Fågeln förekommer i Sydamerika från sydöstra Colombia till södra Venezuela, nordöstra Ecuador och norra Amazonområdet i Brasilien. Den behandlas som monotypisk, det vill säga att den inte delas in i några underarter.

Släktskap
Genetiska studier visar att svartmaskad vråk är systerart till vitbrynad vråk (''L. kuhli''). Dessa har tidigare ansetts utgöra en och samma art, men har konstaterats häcka sympatriskt i Brasilien och sydöstra Peru.

Levnadssätt
Arten hittas i fuktiga skogar där den både jagar och tar sitt plats inne bland träden. Födan består av relativt små byten som grodor och ormar. Dess häckningsbiologi är okänd.

Status och hot
Arten har ett stort utbredningsområde, men tros minska i antal, dock inte tillräckligt kraftigt för att den ska betraktas som hotad. Internationella naturvårdsunionen IUCN listar arten som livskraftig (LC).

So, mini-Bernie? Perhaps, although his policy positions are a mix of Bernie-style progressivism and Shumlin-style pragmatism.
Today, his third ad dropped, and this time he's a woman.
Well, not really. But he's the next best thing: a fully liberated and feminist man, thanks to a family tree full of determined, accomplished women. The lines are all delivered by women; Dunne appears only in the closing shot without saying a word, standing next to the primary narrator — who turns out to be his wife, Sarah Stewart Taylor.
Message, I guess: You don't need to vote for The Woman in the race, because Matt Dunne is an honorary woman.

Q: How to correctly say "east-north-east" The four compass directions are: north, south, east, west. Can the English language make combinations of these? Something like south-west or east-north-east to have more options for directions to indicate. And how should these be spelled out - with dashes or space-separated or simply merged?
In my native Danish language we have several versions, all compactly merged with no spacing in-between, for example:

Sydvest = South-west (equally much south and west)
Østnordøst = East-north-east (both east and north, but more east than north)

A: Yes, and they are called intermediate  (intercardinal or ordinal) directions and are located halfway between the cardinal directions (north, east, south, and west):

*

*Northeast (NE), 45°, halfway between north and east, is the opposite of southwest.

*Southeast (SE), 135°, halfway between south and east, is the opposite of northwest.

*Southwest (SW), 225°, halfway between south and west, is the opposite of northeast.

*Northwest (NW), 315°, halfway between north and west, is the opposite of southeast.

The intermediate direction of every set of intercardinal and cardinal direction is called a secondary-intercardinal direction, the eight shortest points in the compass rose that is shown to the right—i.e., NNE, ENE, ESE, etc.

This Wikipedia article - "Points of the compass" may be of much interest to you. It lists the 32 cardinal points and 128 Quarter-Points, their traditional wind point, azimuths, and abbreviations.

A: We learned the names of the 32 wind directions in the Boy Scouts, but in practice, it is extremely rare ever to see more than the basic eight— north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, northwest — and most people will not know the others unless they have a maritime background. Precise directions are nowadays more usually indicated by numerical degree values.
In older materials you will sometimes see the intermediate directions hyphenated (e.g. south-east), but this is uncommon nowadays.

Going clockwise from North, the points are

*

*N - North

*NbE - North by east

*NNE - North-northeast

*NEbN - Northeast by north

*NE - Northeast

*NEbE - Northeast by east

*ENE - East-northeast

*EbM - East by north

*E - East

*EbS - East by south

*ESE - East-southeast

*SEbE - Southeast by east

*SE - Southeast

*SEbS - Southeast by south

*SSE - South-southeast

*SbE - South by east

*S - South

*SbW - South by west

*SSW - South-southwest

*SWbS - Southwest by south

*SW - Southwest

*SWbW - Southwest by west

*WSW - West-southwest

*WbS - West by south

*W - West

*WbN - West by north

*WNW - West-northwest

*NWbW - Northwest by west

*NW - Northwest

*NWbN - Northwest by north

*NNW - North-northwest

*NbW - North by west
