Lady Flames Upset No. 53 Winthrop, Saturday
| Photos
Thong clinched the match for the Lady Flames, besting Uzelac in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3.
The Liberty Lady Flames pulled off the 4-3 upset over No. 53 Winthrop on Saturday afternoon at the Sports Racket, notching the program's first-ever victory against the Eagles.
With the victory, the Lady Flames improved to 9-8 on the season and are off to a program-best 5-0 start in conference play. Winthrop falls to 11-3 and 3-1 in conference action following the loss.
Liberty continued its dominance in doubles action on the season, winning its 11th doubles point in a row and its 13th in the last 14 matches. Liberty swept the doubles competition en route to the 1-0 lead.
Maria Khval and Anna Dollar notched the first doubles victory on the day, cruising to the 6-1 victory over Caitlin Cridland and Megan Kaufmann from the No. 2 doubles slot.
The freshman duo of Rebekah Anderson and Aleksandra Panchenko improved to 10-1 as a doubles tandem on the year after besting Alice Garcia and Tijana Uzelac by a score of 6-4 to clinch the doubles point for Liberty.
Just for good measure, the Lady Flames' No. 1 doubles duo of Evangeline Crist and Valerie Thong bested Lauren Proctor and Mariana Humberg by the score of 6-3 to improve to 13-3 on the year as a doubles tandem.
Proctor deadlocked the contest at one apiece from the No. 1 singles position after she defeated Khval in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2.
Garcia, ranked No. 114 in the ITA Rankings, placed the Eagles ahead of the Lady Flames after the senior defeated Dollar in straight sets, 6-0, 7-6(3).
Winthrop's 2-1 lead was short lived as Liberty rebounded to claim back-to-back singles matches and regain the advantage, 3-2. Belen Rivera began the Liberty rally, besting Cridland in straight sets in the No. 4 singles position, 6-4, 6-2.
The Lady Flames reclaimed the 3-2 advantage after Mariely Hassey upended Kaufmann in straight sets from the No. 5 singles positon. The first set went back-and-forth with Hassey pulling away to win 7-5. From that point on, it would be all Hassey as the junior rattled off a 6-2 second-set victory to give Liberty the lead.
Winthrop's Humberg knotted the contest at three apiece, setting up for the dramatic finish from the No. 6 singles slot. Humberg bested Crist, 6-4, 7-6(3) from the No. 3 singles position to even the score.
The final match featured two seniors in Thong and Uzelac that has poured a lot into their respective programs. Fresh off a Senior Day victory, Thong defeated Uzelac in straight sets, 6-2, 6-3 to aid the Lady Flames in a victory that featured many firsts for the rising program, including the first victory over Winthrop.
"It has been a long journey to get here this season," stated Thong. "I am just really proud of the team and the effort that we gave. We are coming together and at the right time too as we hit the final stretch of the regular season."
"This is probably our biggest win to date," stated head coach Jeff Maren. "Winthrop is a well-coached team with a rich history of success in our conference and nationally. Our confidence is sure to rise after this one. I'm especially proud of our seniors for leading the way and handling the pressure 'like a boss'! We are already excited about our next match."
The Lady Flames return to action Thursday when they travel to Conway, S.C., to take on Coastal Carolina at 1 p.m.

What is "Probable Cause?"
Posted By Brickfield & Donahue
If you've watched nearly any crime drama on television or seen a crime drama movie, you've probably heard the term "assault and battery" thrown around. In fact, it's so common that many people mistakenly believe that these two terms are one name to refer to the same crime.
In some states across the country, this is true—assault and battery can be used interchangeably because they refer to the same offense. However, New Jersey is not one of these states, and there's an important difference between these two terms. This difference is particularly important if you find yourself facing violent crime charges. On this blog, we'll take a closer look at this important difference and explain how it could impact your case.
New Jersey Assault Laws
The term "assault" is the one that's most often misunderstood. Generally, when you ask the average person what "assault" means, they think it means that someone beat someone else up or caused them injury in some deliberate fashion. This isn't exactly accurate. While "assault" could include causing someone physical harm, the laws in New Jersey and most US courts for that matter don't actually require any physical contact to occur in order for the crime to be charged.
New Jersey laws define assault as any actions or behavior which causes someone to reasonably believe that they're at risk for physical harm from another person, either by negligence or deliberate action. In New Jersey, the term "simple assault" can refer to any action that's taken to purposefully or recklessly cause bodily injury to another person, including doing so with a deadly weapon, regardless of whether or not that injury actually occurred. Likewise, simply attempting to make someone fear imminent bodily injury by "physical menace" could also be considered assault.
There is another type of assault covered under New Jersey law as well: aggravated assault. Aggravated assault is a more serious form of assault, which elevates it from the category of "simple." This can include things like intentionally causing serious bodily injury (something that greatly endangers human life), intentionally or recklessly causing injury with a deadly weapon, committing assault against a protected individual (law enforcement, public employees, healthcare workers, etc.), and causing serious injury in a domestic violence situation.
New Jersey Battery Laws
Here's the biggest difference between assault and battery under New Jersey law: battery is not a criminal offense in New Jersey. There are still legal references to battery, but they're considered a "tort," which is a type of civil lawsuit. This means you can't be arrested for "assault and battery" in New Jersey, but you can be tried for them in civil court. Assault and battery are torts that refer to causing physical injury to someone else, and the victim of that injury could in return sue you for the damages they sustain (medical bills from the injury, lost wages from missed work, pain and suffering, and much more).
In this context, the tort of "battery" is the act of actually striking someone, causing injury. "Assault" in this context is the act of making someone fear physical injury, such as attempting to hit them, physically intimidating them, and much more. It's typically much easier to win a battery civil tort case than an assault one.

NFL Week 3 Predictions: Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Minnesota Vikings
Drew Sharper
Buccaneers vs. Vikings Pick
Will the Tampa Bay Buccaneers go on the road and take care of business against the injury-plagued Minnesota Vikings today at 1PM ET?
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, Tampa Bay is favored in this game, as the Bucs are getting odds of -2.5 points against the Vikings. The over/under total for the contest is listed at 41 points. Tampa Bay has won and covered the spread in six of its last seven meetings with the Vikings. Today's game takes place from U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will air live on FOX.
Minnesota is 1-1 on the season and 1-1 against the spread, failing to cover in last week's 26-9 loss a Pittsburgh. The Vikings looked much different last week without Sam Bradford under center. Bradford threw for 346 yards and three touchdowns in the first game, but suffered a knee injury that kept him out last week and keeps him out today as well. Case Keenum stepped in last week and threw for 167 yards on 20 of 37 passing. No Bradford puts more pressure on rookie running back Dalvin Cook as well. Cook has run for 191 yards through two games, but 127 came in the win in Week 1. Defensively, Minnesota is allowing 348 yards per game, including just 81 rushing yards per contest.
Tampa Bay opened its season last week with a 29-7 win over the Bears at home, easily covering the 7-point spread in the process. The Bucs only had a 311-310 edge in total yards, but the defense forced four turnovers to lead the way to the win. Jameis Winston had 204 passing yards with a touchdown while Mike Evans caught seven passes for 93 yards and a score. Jacquizz Rodgers was the leading rusher with 67 yards and a touchdown. Despite the good defensive effort, the Bucs suffered some big injuries. Both Gerald McCoy (ankle) and Brent Grimes (shoulder) are questionable for today's contest.
Bet on Bucs vs. Vikings
Minnesota opened as a favorite this week when Bradford was doing some work in practice, but the spread has changed by 5 points since he was announced to be out. Minnesota looked lost on offense with Keenum. Bradford was able to drive Minnesota down the field and keep its defense fresh in Week 1. The Vikings defense was on the field far too much last week, which led to the big loss. I see a similar story today as I don't think Keenum can lead this group. Tampa Bay will load up the box to stop Cook and force Keenum to beat them with his arm, which he can't do.

When we took over at Ardington we decided we'd like to support a couple of charities. We wanted them to be involved with art therapy in some form and the two we chose were The Art Room (Oxford) who, using art as a therapeutic vehicle, help children and young people re-engage with learning and thrive in life. Our other chosen charity is Combat Stress, which helps veterans get their lives back.
We're not a massive company with a huge budget so large cash donations are not really viable for us so we decided to offer some places on workshops via the Combat Stress Facebook and Twitter pages.
And that's how we came across Mick. He contacted us after seeing the post and asked to join our Contemporary Furniture & Up-Cycling course run by local furniture restorer, Oliver Piepereit.
Obviously, Mick has been through a tough time and when talking to him it was clear he didn't want to talk about the backstory that brought him to our door - and to be honest, I wasn't going to ask about it because frankly it's none of my business.
Mick also made it clear that to help him cope day to day he needs to focus on the 'now'. One of the things that helps him is going on workshops and working with his hands. Along with his wife, he's attended workshops all over the country on things like making Rustic Garden Furniture, Wood Carving, Pottery, Bookbinding, Making Porcelain Poppies and now our Furniture Up-cycling course where he's restored a lovely antique seat.
Mick's other focus in life is his involvement with the Royal British Legion Riders Branch. As an avid biker he speaks very proudly of the Riders' charity events like being involved with the RTTW - Ride To The Wall which is a unique motorcycling fundraising ride with a dedicated service of remembrance that provides an opportunity for all motorcyclists to ride as an organised group to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire to pay their respects and recognise the sacrifice made by the 16,000+ service men and women whose names are engraved on The Wall of the Armed Forces Memorial. Another event is the Allied Memorial Remembrance Ride where bikers from across the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, South Africa, France and New Zealand join forces. He lists lots of other charity rides like the Dapper Ride and various Poppy Appeal rides. He was even involved with the world record for the most amount of Triumphs in a single parade. You could sense the pride he felt in all these activities but you could also sense the sadness he feels at the prejudice the British Legion Riders Branch and bikers in general still suffer from. He remains hopeful and positive that things will change for the better.
We would be proud if we could make things seem a little better for our veteran guests, even if it's just to provide the opportunity to escape from whatever they need to escape from for a few hours in a friendly, safe, learning environment surrounded by like-minded people.
We really liked Mick, he was genuine and a good contributor to the group dynamic over the two-day class. We all need to meet a Mick because, as clichéd as it sounds, it helps you 'keep things real'…we wish him all the very best and hope he continues to find the focus he needs.

Venezuela: Meeting of Senior Officials of the International Contact Group
Yesterday the International Contact Group (ICG) on Venezuela held a Senior Officials Meeting by video conference to discuss the situation in Venezuela following the regional and local elections held on the 21 November 2021 and the latest developments in the process to hold a referendum for a presidential recall. The Group also discussed the preliminary findings of the EU Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) on these elections.
The International Contact Group welcomes the work of the EU EOM and is confident of its contribution towards a peaceful and democratic solution to the Venezuelan crisis and that its recommendations for possible reforms can help to improve future electoral processes.
The Group considers a comprehensive reform of the judiciary an opportunity to strengthen the level-playing field and the fairness of future elections.
The International Contact Group reiterates that the only way out of the ongoing crisis in Venezuela is through a Venezuelan-led political negotiation leading to credible, inclusive and transparent elections at all levels, including at the presidential level.
The International Contact Group urges all parties of the Venezuelan-led comprehensive negotiations to resume the dialogue in Mexico and act in good faith for the benefit of the Venezuelan people.
The ICG Senior Officials expressed concerns about the political climate and call for full respect for political rights and physical integrity of all political and civil actors, including journalists.
The Group also discussed the serious humanitarian situation in Venezuela and reiterated their commitment to continue providing emergency assistance to vulnerable Venezuelans as well as to improve the operating conditions and access for humanitarian organisations and actors, including through the work of the ICG's Humanitarian Assistance Working Group. In this context, the Group calls on the Venezuelan authorities to facilitate access of the ICG Humanitarian Assistance Working Group to the country.
This statement has been agreed by the following ICG members: Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, the European Union, France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Panama, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Uruguay.

Tokugawa Ieyasu rides into battle at Sekigahara
Prior to the start of the 17th century Japan had been in a period of great turmoil and constant war – the Sengoku Period. During this period martial skill and warmongering become extremely important to gaining power and control over the country. Oda Nobunaga and his disciple Toyotomi Hideyoshi were two of these martial lords who rose to power and attempted to unify Japan, end the wars and bring a lasting peace to the country. Both passed away before they able to complete this noble mission but Toyotomi had appointed a group of powerful lords to rule the country when he passed. Though some period of peace under the group passed this was broken when one lord accused Tokugawa of disloyalty, a great offense in Japanese culture. This lead to the the Battle of Sekigahara which Tokugawa won and achieved his ultimate goal – placing himself as the Shogun and new ruler of Japan. It is widely held that this period of unification and subsequent changes in society marks the end of Mediaeval Japan.The period to follow is widely known as the Edo period.
Under the new Shogunate peace flourished – but at a cost. In order to maintain ongoing peace within the country the Shogun defined strict class and societal rules. Each group – the daimyo (lords and landowners), samurai (middle class martial officers), farmers, artisans and traders had rules and regulations they had to follow from the way they dressed to how they could conduct business.The ongoing peace and the establishment of the Shogunate seat of power in Edo (Tokyo) had a large impact on society. Trade was on the rise while taxes remained stagnant leading to a strong merchant class that had not existed in a time of war and landownership. Additionally travel across the country was now possible as never before. The Tokaido became a well travelledroute connecting Kyoto and the seat of the Emperor to Edo and the seat of the Shogun. Economics flourished and people had more time than ever to spend in leisure rather than survival. Consequently there was a huge rise in all kinds of trade – particularly the oldest trade.
As prostitution became more and more widespread throughout Shogunate Japan so too did the sort of crime and chaos that accompanies it. To control crime and restore order the Shogunate established three Pleasure Quarters (yakuko) to contain prostitution and related entertainment. These pleasure quarters were walled and regulated dens of sin; a historical Las Vegas.
Shimabara-omon – The gates to the Kyoto Pleasure Quarters remain standing today
Initially the Kyoto pleasure quarters were founded at Rokujo-Misujimachi however as the quarters became wildly popular the Shogun began to regret their proximity to the city and moved the pleasure quarters to Shimabara which remains intact but unused in Kyoto today. By modern standards this is now quite close to the city centre and has been enveloped by the suburbs of Kyoto however at the time this was far enough removed to be another world.
In Edo the Yoshiwara pleasure quarters were founded at Nihonbashi close to the Tokaido – better to lure in tourists and travellers. As the city grew this was moved to Asakusa North of the city where the culture of pleasure and entertainment continues today. The third licenced pleasure quarter was created in Osaka, south of Kyoto in the Shinmachi district. Shinmachi was destroyed after World War II but it's modern location would have been close to Nakanoshima.
Inside the pleasure quarters
An actressed dressed as a courtesan parades down a film set of Yoshiwara at TOEI Studio Park in Kyoto.
The pleasure quarters themselves were a garden of Earthly delights. Caged off from the rest of the outside world and with strict laws forbidding weapons the Pleasure Districts became a "floating world" of hedonistic pleasure.
While these districts were created to constrain prostitution less carnal entertainments quickly came on offer. Whether to entertain customers while waiting for Courtesans or simply to round out an evening of partying entertainments such as dancing, theatre, music and banquets were available. This caused a steep influx in merchant trade; in particular the Fashion industry became centered around the Pleasure Quarters. Fashionable high end Courtesans would parade down busy streets, their fashions emulated by women across the country.
As with society outside the walls inside the walls the society was carefully graded and divided. Yujo were the women of pleasure, the classes allowed to serve sexual favours. Ordinary prostitutes rose to be Koshi (second level courtesans), Tayu (high level courtesans) and even Oiran (Castle Topplers!). The Tayu were cut off from society, locked into their gilded cage of endless pleasure and this lead to increasingly stifling rituals of clothing, hair and behaviour. The price of high end courtesans went up to meet the costs of these outlandish displays.
So started the rise of the Geisha. Tayu and Oiran were designed to be entertainers but the elaborate costumes, formal speech and the cost of licencing prostitution made them out of reach for many. Geisha on the other hand kept simple costumes, were forbidden from charging for sexual favours and offered services to appeal to the every man – singing, dancing, playing music and serving drinks.
Ukiyo-e Images of the Floating World
An example of ukiyo-e by Kuniyasu – "Geisha with shamisen"
The heydey of the Pleasure Quarters gave way to a new style of art – Ukiyo-e a form of wood block painting that could easily be reproduced using a printing press. They depicted the so called "floating world" of entertainment, free from the constraints of real life.
Paintings depicted banquet scenes and theatre or focussed on the entertainers themselves. Many Ukiyo-e exist of famous geisha and tayu of the time making Ukiyo-e a kind of celebrity poster that could easily be mass printed and sold to the middle class.
Despite the mass production of the prints these are still masterful works of art and Ukiyo-e was produced by fine artists of the time including Utamaro, Hiroshige and Kunisada.
As well as more mainstream art ukiyo-e also extended into erotic art – shunga. These lurid prints showed erotic fantasy or the love lives of the courtesans (real or imagined) and were traded just like adult content in modern times.

Poarch Creek Indians visit First Steps
Baggett shows students a turkey blanket.
Thrower and Baggett show the group a collection of spear heads.

(Cecil Folds | The Standard)
On July 27, Robert Thrower and Margaret Baggett of the Poarch Creek Indians from Atmore came to First Steps at the YMCA to share the history of the tribe with the students.
Thrower asked the students if they knew how long Indians had been in this country. He told them Indians had been in America for about 12,000 years before any white men came to this country. He said Indians had been living here and hunting in this state around 8,000 years.
He continued by asking if they knew what Indians hunted with to get their food. Most of the kids said, "Bows and arrows." Most people think that Indians used bows and arrows to hunt their food, but the fact is we watch too much TV.
According to Thrower, the bow and arrow came much later but in the earlier years Indians only had spears. Most of the arrowheads we find in this area are not arrowheads but actually spearheads and the larger the spearhead, the bigger the animal that was being hunted.
Thrower and Baggett also showed the kids many more items that the Indians used back in the old days when they traveled throughout the country. Some of the items showed were animal pelts, such as deer, beaver and rabbit. The skins were used as clothing for families to keep warm in the winter time.
Thrower also demonstrated how they threw the spears with so much force, by placing the tip of the spear in a holder that was used to push the spear forward with power. He also showed them a hatchet and said the white man called it a tomahawk, but this was not the name the Indians called the weapon; to them it was known as a club.
He asked the kids if they knew how Indians cooked their food, and the kids said, "Over a campfire."
Thrower said they cooked their food all at one time for several people by placing rocks in one fire, heating them until they were red hot and then putting the hot rocks in bowls where food had been prepared to cook the food. According to Thrower, this is called the "Indian microwave."
Everyone's food was cooked at one time so they could all eat together. He said we have so many conveniences today; it is hard to realize how the Indians survived back in the old days. They took several questions from the kids.
The kids had a great time and learned a great amount of history from Thrower and Baggett. Thrower told the kids that next year, Poarch Creek Indians would be celebrating their centennial year through 2019. They would be working with the schools around the state to help people understand the history behind each Creek Indian Nation as they travel around the state demonstrating how the Indians survived.

2-D materials enhance a 3-D world
by Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology

In the past decade, two-dimensional, 2-D, materials have captured the fascination of a steadily increasing number of scientists. These materials, whose defining feature is having a thickness of only one to very few atoms, can be made of a variety of different elements or combinations thereof. Scientists' enchantment with 2-D materials began with Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov's Nobel Prize winning experiment: creating a 2-D material using a lump of graphite and common adhesive tape. This ingeniously simple experiment yielded an incredible material: graphene. This ultra-light material is roughly 200 times stronger than steel and is a superb conductor. Once scientists discovered that graphene had more impressive properties than its bulk component graphite, they decided to investigate other 2-D materials to see if this was a universal property.
Christopher Petoukhoff, a Rutgers University graduate student working in the Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST), studies a 2-D material, made of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). His research focuses on the 2-D material's optoelectronic applications, or how the material can detect and absorb light. Optoelectronics are ubiquitous in today's world, from the photodetectors in automatic doors and hand dryers, to solar cells, to LED lights, but as anyone who has stood in front of an automatic sink desperately waving their hands around to get it to work will tell you, there is plenty of room for improvement. The 2-D MoS2 is particularly interesting for use in photodetectors because of its capability of absorbing the same amount of light as 50nm of the currently used silicon-based technologies, while being 70 times thinner.
Petoukhoff, under the supervision of Professor Keshav Dani, seeks to improve optoelectronic devices by adding a 2-D layer of MoS2 to an organic semiconductor, which has similar absorption strengths as MoS2. The theory behind using both materials is that the interaction between the MoS2 layer and the organic semiconductor should lead to efficient charge transfer. Petoukhoff's research, published in ACS Nano, demonstrates for the first time that charge transfer between these two layers occurs at an ultra-fast timescale, on the order of less than 100 femtoseconds, or one tenth of one millionth of one millionth of a second.

The thinness of these materials, however, becomes a limiting factor in their efficiency as photovoltaics, or light-energy conversion devices. Light absorbing devices, such as solar cells and photodetectors, require a certain amount of optical thickness in order to absorb photons, rather than allowing them to pass through. To overcome this, researchers from the Femtosecond Spectroscopy Unit added an array of silver nanoparticles, or a plasmonic metasurface, to the organic semiconductor-MoS2 hybrid to focus and localize the light in the device. The addition of the metasurface increases the optical thickness of the material while capitalizing on the unique properties of the ultra-thin active layer, which ultimately increase the total absorption.
While this research is still in its infancy, its implications for the future are huge. Combinations with 2-D materials have the potential to revolutionize the marketability of optoelectronic devices. Conventional optoelectronic devices are expensive to manufacture and are often made from scarce or toxic elements, such as indium or arsenic. Organic semiconductors have low manufacturing costs, and are made of earth-abundant and non-toxic elements. This research can potentially improve the cost and efficiency of optoelectronics, leading to better products in the future.

Q: body on load not works on jquery I am trying to do this:
$(document).ready(function(){

    $('body').on('load', function(){
        alert('ok');
    });

});

But it not works.
Any help?

A: First, you have to use $(window).load() instead of $('body').on('load'()).
Then, you need to separate the onload() function and the ready() function:
  $(document).ready(function(){
  alert("fires when webpage is loaded");
  });

  $(window).on('load', function(){
      alert("fires once when window/body has been loaded");
  });

Have a look at this to understand the difference.

A: Whay your code does not work?
When DOMContentLoaded event fires... That is the event that triggers the $(document).ready() callback. Obviouly, the body has already loaded too.
So if you wait for the whole DOM to be loaded to define an event handler about body loaded... It will never be executed because that event has fired before the event handler has been defined.

And after a close look: There is squarely no "load" event fired for the body... Whatever its content.
So as in pythan's answer, that should be $(window).on("load", function(){...})
See below:

console.log("before")
$("body").on("load", function () {  // That NEVER fires.
  console.log("Body loaded");
});
console.log("after")
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<body>
  <img src="https://via.placeholder.com/500" />
</body>

But anyway, you don't need both for sure.

Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who enforced the MLB color line, name removed from MVP plaques
The former baseball commissioner refused to let Black baseball players join the majors during his reign
NEW YORK (AP) — The name of the former baseball commissioner who never had a Black player in the majors during his long reign is being pulled off all future MVP plaques after more than 75 years.
Kenesaw Mountain Landis won't be depicted on the annual awards presented by the Baseball Writers' Association of the America, the group said Friday. The decision came after 89% of its membership voted this week for removal.
"We will no longer will be associated with the Landis name, and the MVP plaques will be nameless in 2020," BBWAA president Paul Sullivan wrote.

"Hopefully when some sense of normalcy returns in 2021 we can have a healthy debate over whether to add a new name or just leave it as the BBWAA MVP award," he said.
In a story by The Associated Press in late June, former MVP winners Barry Larkin, Mike Schmidt and Terry Pendleton said they favored pulling Landis' name because of concerns over his handling of Black players.

Larkin, the Black shortstop voted NL MVP in 1995 with Cincinnati, applauded the decision.
"To me, the MVP award should be something that's all positive," Larkin told the AP on Friday. "There shouldn't be a cloud over it."

"I was always aware of the Landis name and what it meant to slow down the color line in Major League Baseball," he said, adding, "I think the MVP honor stands on its own. It doesn't need a name."
Told of the BBWAA's ruling, Pendleton, the Black third baseman who won the 1991 NL honor with Atlanta, texted: "It's the right thing to do!!!"
MLB will redesign the trophies, said Jack O'Connell, BBWAA secretary-treasurer. The AL and NL winners awards in this virus-shortened season will be announced on Nov. 12.
Landis became MLB's first commissioner in 1920 and no Blacks played in the majors during his control that ended with his death in 1944. Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in 1947 and Larry Doby followed later that year.
Landis' legacy is "always a complicated story" that includes "documented racism," official MLB historian John Thorn has said.
A federal judge in Chicago when he was hired, Landis banned Shoeless Joe Jackson and the Black Sox for throwing the 1919 World Series and helped rid baseball of gambling problems that were plaguing the game.
But Landis "notably failed to integrate the game during his tenure," Sullivan said in a statement.

The only living relative of Landis who personally knew him is nephew Lincoln Landis.
"Now at the age of 98, I am duly puzzled to learn that the baseball writers would have agreed to eliminate my uncle's name and picture from the Most Valuable Player award," he said Saturday. "I must say that if today's MVP winners truly understood the role Judge Landis played in preserving the game of baseball, they would support putting his image back on their award plaques."
In 1931, Landis had given the BBWAA control of picking and presenting the MVPs. During the 1944 World Series, the BBWAA voted to add Landis' name to the plaque as "an acknowledgement of his relationship with the writers," O'Connell said.

Landis died a month later at 78 and soon was elected to the Hall of Fame.
Every AL and NL MVP plaque since then has carried his name — emblazoned with shiny, gold letters twice as big as the actual winner — as the Kenesaw Mountain Landis Memorial Baseball Award, plus a sizable imprint of his face.
"This is 2020 now and things have changed all around the world. It can change for the better," Pendleton said earlier. "Statues are coming down, people are looking at monuments and memorials."

Schmidt, the three-time NL MVP with Philadelphia, previously said: "If you're looking to expose individuals in baseball's history who promoted racism by continuing to close baseball's doors to men of color, Kenesaw Landis would be a candidate."
"Looking back to baseball in the early 1900s, this was the norm. It doesn't make it right, though," said the Hall of Famer, who is white. "Removing his name from the MVP trophy would expose the injustice of that era. I'd gladly replace the engraving on my trophies."
After the BBWAA decision, he wrote in an email: "Should stand alone … NLMVP 2021"
In August, U.S. Reps. Gil Cisneros of California and Cedric Richmond of Louisiana sent a letter signed by 28 House Democrats to MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred and Sullivan calling for Landis' name to be pulled. All of the members had played in the Congressional Baseball Game, an annual charity matchup at Nationals Park.
"The BBWAA made the right decision, and it better reflects the sport we all know and love," Cisneros tweeted.
There has been a lot of debate on social media in recent months over whose name should be on MVP plaques, if anybody at all. Among those getting support were Hall of Famer Frank Robinson, the only player to win the MVP award in both leagues, Negro Leagues great Josh Gibson and Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey, who signed Robinson.
The post Kenesaw Mountain Landis, who enforced the MLB color line, name removed from MVP plaques appeared first on TheGrio.

AI startup steps in to unlock the puzzle of infertility with machine learning
VB Staff	 August 12, 2020 7:10 AM
Presented by AWS Machine Learning
As it matures, machine learning has been applied to more and bigger challenges. One of the latest is women's health tech, a space where research has traditionally lagged, and that few companies have addressed, until now. In 2015, women's health tech startups raised only $82 million in funding from investment firms. Since then, that number has risen to $1.1 billion.
AI health care company Presagen is one of the companies stepping up in this essential health space, with scalable machine learning that can be used by clinics and patients anywhere in the world.
Their first product is Life Whisperer, a cloud-based web application that uses machine learning built on AWS to offer better outcomes for patients undergoing the fertility treatment IVF, or in vitro fertilization.
"The average age of pregnancy is increasing right at the point when fertility is naturally decreasing," says Michelle Perugini, co-founder and CEO of Presagen. "Our vision is to improve the success rates for IVF and allow greater access at lower cost for patients, so that they can achieve that goal of having a family sooner."
More than 8 million babies have been conceived via IVF since the technology was first introduced in 1978. But IVF is not a precise science. For a patient over 35 years old, the chances of delivering a single full-term baby of normal birth weight with IVF are less than 20% per cycle.
That's where Life Whisperer comes in. With computer vision technology that helps physicians identify the most viable embyos for implantation, the company's product can reduce the time to pregnancy for patients on average by 15%.
The IVF process, and the Life Whisperer difference
The IVF process has always been complex. One cycle of treatment takes several months and can be extremely stressful for the patient, from the medications they must take at the outset to the extraction of their eggs. Following fertilization in the lab, the embryologist selects the most viable embryos to implant in the patient's uterus.
This is where Life Whisperer's machine learning technology comes into play. The success of an IVF cycle relies on selecting the most viable embryos. Unfortunately, the science has been imprecise, meaning the doctor's choice is subjective, says Perugini. Currently the selection relies on the embryologist conducting a visual assessment of embryos using a microscope. However, there are only a few macro features the clinician can use to grade those embryos.
With machine learning, Life Whisperer helps embryologists choose the most viable embryo or embryos the first time — significantly increasing the chance of a successful IVF cycle.
The Life Whisperer system is relatively simple on the outside, using standard imaging equipment – a powerful camera attached to a microscope. The embryologist sends captured images of the candidate's embryos to the cloud-based Life Whisperer application, where they are assessed by computer vision algorithms. Trained on thousands of historical IVF cases, the algorithm identifies aspects of the embryo that are most critical in determining viability, but are invisible to the human eye.
In real time, within 10 to 15 seconds, the platform returns a report which helps the doctor select the most viable embryos for implantation. The stronger the score, the more likely the chance of pregnancy for an embryo. The report also gives patients a window into the assessment process being used to guide their treatment.
With their machine learning algorithms, Presagen has improved accuracy in choosing an embryo by 25 to 30% over the current standard of care.
How Life Whisperer works
To build the Life Whisperer machine learning algorithm, Presagen used Pytorch on AWS for deep learning and Amazon EC2 and AWS Fargate for AI training and inference. The algorithm analyzed thousands of embryo images taken from actual IVF cycles, both successful and unsuccessful. The information was extracted from Presagen's globally linked clinical data platform in the AWS cloud, which securely stores data from clinics around the world.
The goal: to learn how to evaluate both individual features of the embryo that signify its health, as well as how to assess the embryo as a whole. With deep learning and medical data shared from around the world, the custom algorithm continues to learn and refine itself over time. Critical to a global undertaking, the AWS cloud gave Presagen the opportunity to use this global medical data without crossing any patient data privacy laws in the country of origin, says Don Perugini, co-founder of Presagen.
With a distributed cloud solution, the AWS cloud offers a secure, reliable, and accessible platform with the massive amounts of computing power it takes to deliver the system in practice. A distributed cloud system keeps data secure in its origin point while federated learning, the machine learning technique that trains an algorithm across multiple decentralized servers, addresses the critical data privacy and security issues.
In the end however, Michelle Perugini says that AI is not all science — it also requires art.
"The utility of tools to build AI products is only as good as your ability to target and understand the context in which you're applying the AI – and how to best do that is an art form," she explains. "It requires multidisciplinary experience and insight from different types of people in different disciplines to create an effective AI."
The future of IVF and women's health data
The WHO has called infertility a global health crisis, affecting over 10% of people trying to conceive, and the rates haven't decreased in the last 20 years.
But the field of reproductive medicine and endocrinology is rapidly growing, and the addition of machine learning to the mix is enabling new innovation. Life Whisperer's success rates are encouraging, and the company is set to expand into India, the U.K., and Europe.
"Babies conceived with the help of Life Whisperer are being born now," says Perungini. "Many of those patients went through repeated failed treatments before Life Whisperer, and would not necessarily have had the opportunity to have a child without this type of technology."

Harvic offers a total property management solution for all property investors and homeowners. Most services are included in a competitive monthly fee.
Harvic works solely in the management of residential rental properties. The number of rental properties under management is restricted to ensure quality of service.
Please contact us for a breakdown of charges.
If you are interested in our Property Management Services, we will inspect your property and give advice on its potential market rental. The asking rent will then be set in agreement with the owner.
We will advertise the property for rent and show potential tenants through the property. Advertising is done by way of websites, and where appropriate, with corporate relocation specialists.
We personally show tenants through the property by either appointment or set open viewing.
We screen all tenants before renting a property to them. Potential tenants are required to complete application forms and we then conduct reference checks and, if required, credit checks. If this is completed to our satisfaction, we then offer the tenancy with a written tenancy agreement. This needs to be signed by the tenant and the first weeks rent paid as a deposit before the property is withdrawn from the "available for rent" list.
These are carried out as per the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. All tenancy agreements and pre tenancy inspections are signed by both parties.
We collect a minimum of 3 weeks' bond on each property and this is lodged with Ministry of Housing Bond Centre as required under the law. Bonds are not released back to the tenant, until a final inspection has been carried out and we are satisfied the property has been left in a clean and tidy condition with no damage, all rent money has been paid and keys to the property returned.
All rents are paid to us by automatic payment. Rents are checked on a daily basis. Should a rent payment not be made on the due date the tenant is telephoned and a formal 10-day notice to remedy is issued. This forms the beginning of the Tenancy Tribunal process.
The property is inspected, prior to the tenancy starting. Regular inspections are completed during the tenancy at 4-month intervals (should an inspection identify any issues requiring the tenant to put right, a letter is issued to the tenant and a follow up inspection is completed in 14 days). The rental property is inspected, the day after the tenant vacates the property and prior to any Bond release.
We prepare all applications for dispute resolution under The Residential Tenancies Act 1986. We attend mediation and if the issue is still not resolved to a satisfactory level we attend Tenancy Tribunal Court hearings.
We organise maintenance on your behalf including cleaning, lawn mowing, plumbing and electrical services and any other normal, general maintenance required to keep a property at an acceptable level.
We provide monthly financial statements, detailing rents collected and payments made on your behalf. These are electronically sent to the owner of the property.
You have somebody to care for and control your property investment.
You have a buffer between you the landlord and your tenant.
You can rely upon somebody else to ensure you are getting the market rental for your property.
You have somebody who can remind tenants of their commitments.
You have full financial reports on your property.
You have somebody to advise you on maintenance requirements.
You have somebody who can ensure early detection and rapid remedial action for any late payments by tenants.
You don't have to take calls from tenants, do maintenance or worry about rental payments.
You don't have to rely on friends, family or neighbours to look after your property in your absence.
All monies held on behalf of clients are held in a dedicated client account.
We are a small team offering personal service, we have a sense of humour and we don't mind hard work.

In recent years, I have noticed just how much the music that I listen to has been influencing my work as a playwright. From the way my characters talk, to how music is integrated into the plays, and so on. Last year, I began to think about how a piece of music can more greatly inform the creation of a new work, and how works of art speak to one another. And I wanted to bring other artists, in this case playwrights, who thought about music like I do, who are inspired by music like I am, into the process to provide a variety of perspectives… And thus "The Album Plays" were born. -Beto O'Byrne, playwright
The Album Plays are a commission-based project where a series of new plays will be developed inspired by full-length albums of music. Artists develop the plays in ways that reflect the spirit, musicality, and other reference points to the original work, using their specific voices to view an existing piece of art in a new light. Each writer works with an album as the inspiration point, with each track of the album working to inspire scenes, moments, story, characters, etc of the play.
Currently three playwrights have been commissioned and are in the process of writing the first drafts of their plays. Check back in to follow their development!
In addition, to the full-length plays, each writer is given a song, or single mp3 to write a short, five minute play that responds the music. We are in the process of developing these short plays and producing them via podcast as radio plays. The first one will be out in Fall 2015.

White House Deputy CTO Andrew McLaughlin Slapped for Gmailing with Googlers
BY Nancy Scola | Monday, May 17 2010
A 2008 photo of Andrew McLaughlin taken by Joi Ito, used under a Creative Commons license.
The controversy that began in March with an accusatory report on the conservative clearinghouse BigGovernment.com has resulted in an official reprimand for Deputy U.S. Chief Technology Officer Andrew McLaughlin, according to records and an internal memo obtained by techPresident this weekend.
McLaughlin was cited for two kinds of actions: using a personal email account for some professional email exchanges and for violating restrictions on contacts with Google, his former employer. Most notable among the latter were a pair of conversations with the Director of U.S. Public Policy for Google about mobilizing Google's resources to respond to negative press mentions. Those breaches, according to a memo by OSTP Director John Holdren, "implicated" the Federal Records Act and the President's Ethics Pledge signed by McLaughlin upon his employment as an Obama administration point person on innovation and Internet policy, within the White House Office of Technology and Science Policy.*
But those people looking for evidence of McLaughlin's wide-ranging network of Google contacts with influence over public policy -- an investigation launched by Rep. Darrell Issa, ranking Republican on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, hinted of contacts with "more than two dozen individuals currently employed by Google, Inc., including a number of senior lobbyists and lawyers" -- are likely going to be disappointed.
The email cache produced as a result of a Freedom of Information Act request by the group Consumer Watchdog shows few contacts between McLaughlin and other Googlers, beyond extensive contact with one Google executive who also serves in a federal advisory role. In many cases, McLaughlin, the former Director of Global Public Policy and Government Affairs for Google, either ignores the emails from his former colleagues, or responds by recusing himself from the conversation. Nowhere does McLaughlin offer Google privileged treatment.
"[O]ne of our employees recently fell short," wrote White House OSTP Director John Holdren in an internal memo sent to staff. Holdren described the breaches as "inadvertent." Rick Weiss, OSTP's Director of Strategic Communications, issued a statement to techPresident noting that McLaughlin's wrists had been slapped, saying "OSTP reprimanded Andrew for these lapses and counseled him on his ethics obligations. Andrew regrets these violations and has taken steps to ensure they do not occur again."
(McLaughlin did not immediately respond to a request for comment.)
McLaughlin undeniably practiced poor email hygiene, sometimes sending and receiving emails using his personal Gmail account where he should have used his official Executive Office of the President address. That's a distinction with a significant difference, of course, because of the mechanisms put in place to archive emails that pass through the White House e-mail system, something that has come into focus with the Bush White House's email controversy involving Karl Rove, non-official email addresses, and the firing of U.S. attorneys.
The McLaughlin email records were produced as a result of an April 1st Freedom of Information Act request from John M. Simpson, an advocate and activist with the group Consumer Watchdog. Simpson asked OSTP for all electronic mail between McLaughlin and officers and employees of Google Inc., as well as its contracted lobbyists. Simpson latter clarified his request to name eight lobbying firms known to represented Google in its Washington dealings.
In response to the Simpson FOIA request, OSTP produced about 120 emails, making up about 50 discrete email conversations and covering about 10 months of McLaughlin's tenure in the White House's science office. Both McLaughlin's Gmail and Executive Office of the President email addresses are in the mix, though, on May 6th, with the FOIA request pending, McLaughlin forwarded the emails that involved his personal account to his official address, thus retroactively archiving them in the White House email system.
In that cache, there are no emails between him and Google CEO (and Washington habitué) Eric Schmidt. Nor are there any emails between McLaughlin and Google founders Larry Page or Sergey Brin. In fact,McLaughlin's email engagement with Googlers is limited to a handful of contacts. But some of the exchanges, particularly those between McLaughlin and Google's Director of U.S. Public Policy Alan Davidson, produce red flags.
Consumer Watchdog has had Google in its sights, and have stepped up their efforts recently with a campaign called Inside Google that goes after the corporation for its supposed "dangerous dominance over the Internet, computing and our online lives."
And from the start, Consumer Watchdog was against McLaughlin's appointment to the Obama administration. In June of last year, Simpson and the Center for Digital Democracy's Jeffrey A. Chester wrote Obama, charging that McLaughlin's appointment ran counter to the President's words. "Given...your commitment to a new standard for ethics in government, it would be a mistake to put Google's top policy person in a key leadership position with critical technology decisions for the federal government." On his first full day in office, President Obama issued an ethics pledge concerning contacts between his employees and their former employers. He warned incoming staff, "If you are enlisting in government service, you will have to commit in writing to rules limiting your role for two years in matters involving people you used to work with." The new, more aggressive restrictions, said Obama, were aimed at making it so that "our government is serving the people's interests, and nobody else's."
The ethics pledge signed by Executive Branch employees reads, in relevant part, "I will not for a period of 2 years from the date of my appointment participate in any particular matter involving specific parties that is directly and substantially related to my former employer or former clients, including regulations and contracts."
About three-fifths of the McLaughlin email conversations produced at Consumer Watchdog's request involve conversations with Vint Cerf, Google's Chief Internet Evangelist who is often honored with the sobriquet "Father of the Internet" for his work in developing the Internet's core standards. But Cerf also happens to wear another hat. Until recently, the 66 year old also served as Chair (and is now Vice Chair) of a federal advisory committee, the Visiting Committee on Advanced Technologies at the Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology, better known as NIST.
McLaughlin and Cerf were frequent email contacts, though often with Cerf's missives going unresponded. But, in the Holdren memo, the White House OSTP contends that those exchanges don't violate the ethics pledge signed by McLaughlin because of Cerf's second hat as a government advisor. Email discussions about everything from the internal politics of ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) on which both Cerf and McLaughlin once served to the adoption of Internet Protocol version 6 to getting fuel for a Haitian network access point at Boutilier in the post-earthquake scramble are, says the White House, unconcerning because Cerf was acting in his "official capacity as a member of a Federal Advisory Committee."
Also covered by the advisor-exemption, says the White House, is an exchange where Cerf asks McLaughlin whether the Obama White House is shying away from its commitment to net neutrality. "Don't be silly," responded McLaughlin. "No one's backing away from anything."
And often, McLaughlin seems well aware that his contacts with his non-Cerf former colleagues at Google are to be avoided. An invitation to an cocktail event at Google headquarters in DC gets this response from the Deputy CTO: "Thanks for the kind invite, Manuel. I keep a very strict line between myself and Google (and Googlers)." A request for intervention in a Google Earth dispute over the boundaries between Cambodia and Thailand produces this: "Norbert, in my current position, I'm recused from anything having to do with Google, so I'll leave it to you and Vint to sort this out. :)" A request from a Google staffer to meet to discuss Asia policy resulted in this response: "Thanks, but I recuse myself from anything Google-specific, on account of past employment." Several other emails from Googlers on topics like copyright treaties and Google's fiber-to-the-home experiment go ignored.
Restricting the White House point person on Internet innovation from working with Google does produce a fairly large lacuna at the heart of McLaughlin's portfolio. In one February thread, for example, the Harvard Law grad pings an entrepreneurial friend about whether he might know of any innovators out there who might be able to extract meaning from "a massive sea of raw footage" on behalf of the White House. When his correspondent pulls into the conversation Hunter Walk, Director of Product Management at YouTube (a Google property), McLaughlin drops off the thread.
But two emails in particular jump out of the bunch, and are the ones causing the most trouble for McLaughlin. Both involve exchanges between McLaughlin and Alan Davidson, the Director of U.S. Public Policy for Google. Both involve negative press accounts.
McLaughlin sparked the first concerning exchange in November when, at a conference, he commented about online filtering and restrictions, saying "If it bothers you that the Chinese government does it, it should bother you when your cable company does it." AT&T, for one, was not amused. "Incoming," Davidson emailed McLaughlin's Gmail account, linking to a Washington Post report. Davidson reported on his efforts to organize a defense of McLaughlin's comments. "We've tee'd it up for the OIC gang," he wrote, referencing the Open Internet Coalition, of which Google is one of the bigger-name members, "so some of those folks will have your back."
McLaughlin wrote back, noting to Davidson that what he said in regards to China was was similar in spirit to what Candidate Obama said about net neutrality. Davidson wrote back the next day: "Update on this -- haven't seen anything run yet. We and a few OIC folks talked with reporters. It's possible that killed it, which is probably driving [Senior Executive Vice President of External and Legislative Affairs for AT&T James] Cicconi crazy. :)"
The second exchange, noted by the White House as a violation of the President's Ethics Pledge, was prompted, ironically enough, by the Big Government report in March about McLaughlin's Google Buzz contacts. Using his Gmail account, McLaughlin emailed a link to the Big Government post to Davidson and Bob Boorstin, Google's Director of Corporate and Policy Communications. "Ugh," Davidson wrote back, widening the circle by looping in Google Managing Policy Counsel Pablo Chavez. "Our press people are on it, if you can think of anything that would help please let us know." Davidson went on. "If it makes you feel better you are rapidly becoming the poster child for better product development processes at Google." McLaughlin responded by saying that it would be helpful for the company to point out, accurately, that Buzz contacts don't actually reflect the user's most emailed contacts.
McLaughlin's take on Big Government's focus on his Google Buzz contacts? "Grump. Worse, I don't even communicate with you people!"
OSTP's Weiss admits that McLaughlin's conversations with Davidson were inappropriate, but describes them as "incidental" and "ha[ving] no influence on policy decisions within the Federal government."

Aishwarya Rai - an Indian actress, model, winner of the 1994 Miss World pageant, considered to be one of the most popular and high-profile celebrities in India, often cited as the "most beautiful woman in the world", and recipient of the Padma Shri award - born on Thursday November 1st 1973, in Mangalore, Karnataka, India.
Freedom is the key to Aishwarya's personality. Aishwarya Rai loves travel, adventure, variety and meeting new people, and she longs to experience all of life. She also loves to be involved in several things at the same time as long as she is not tied down to any one area. Change is constant in her world, requiring adaptability and courage.
With her upbeat and often inspiring personality, Aishwarya Rai makes friends easily and attracts people from all walks of life. She has a way with words and an uncanny ability to motivate others. Thus, Aishwarya can be very successful and happy in sales, advertising, publicity, promotion, politics or any profession that requires communication skills and understanding of people.
Aishwarya is multi-talented and possesses a variety of diverse abilities. However, discipline and focus are the true keys to her success. Without these, many of the tasks Aishwarya begins will remain unfinished and she will fail to realize the true fruits of her abilities. With hard work and perseverance, however, the sky is the limit. Self-employment attracts Rai powerfully, yet her challenge is to settle into one area to cultivate her ability sufficiently to earn a living and attain success. Once Aishwarya Rai finds her niche, the motivation and inspiration she supplies others with will bring her much in return, and she will find her friends and colleagues supporting and promoting her on the road to success.
She is often a late-bloomer and needs to experience life before she can truly know and commit to her heart's desire. Aishwarya Rai may be perceived as a wild child by adults and a source of concern by her family. However, she must not be obliged to hurry her choice of career or family. Aishwarya's challenge is to learn the true meaning of freedom-from-within through her jurney. She should try to maintain an exercise program to keep her body in shape. The flexibility and durability of Rai's body will promote security and confidence within her.
Aishwarya Rai tends to be quite adaptable, and she finds it easy to fit into most social set ups and vocational fields.
There are no particular virtues that can cause an imbalance in Aishwarya's personality and life, but she has to work hard and persistently to develop those special strengths that she desires to attain.
Learning to be wisely assertive is a major lesson to be taken by Aishwarya Rai throughout her life.
Tour Aishwarya's menu and gain more insight into her personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
Aishwarya Rai is more sensitive than usual on April 19th 2019. She can turn this state of hers into a productive day by focusing on relationships in work and personal life. Counseling others presents an opportunity to help, and may even bring admiration by someone.
Romance is strong, but Aishwarya must control her tendency to lie today.

Service Bookings Made Seamlessly
PetSmart, Inc. is the largest specialty pet retailer of products, services, and solutions for pets, operating more than 1,650 pet stores in both the United States and Canada. With an ever-growing online presence, PetSmart partnered with CQL to create a new services booking experience for their dog and cat clients that could handle a large number of reservations for pet services such as grooming, training classes, PetsHotel, Doggie Day Camp, and more. With PetSmart expanding their in-store service offerings, it was essential they could handle increased capacity through this site, provide customers with a great user experience, and grow revenues through this offering of expanded services.
In an effort to provide a fast and scalable solution, CQL built a responsive site that allows flexible content to be controlled by the business team at PetSmart, improves the user experience to drive service bookings, and enables a seamless single-sign-on experience between petsmart.com and their new services site.
CQL collaborated closely with PetSmart to recommend and to define all functional areas that were needed for the redesigned Pet Services site. We identified tools and technologies to connect securely to their systems while still providing a fast and optimized experience for the pet owner.

Redux Sagas
The Ask
PetSmart came to us looking to develop a new services site that could accommodate the growing volume of in-store service bookings. They were struggling with a large volume of calls regarding customers having issues using the previous services site.
Utilizing CQL's extended Salesforce Commerce Cloud experience coupled with our design and technology knowledge, CQL created functionality providing PetSmart's users a seamless experience when booking services appointments to a PetSmart store. We worked with PetSmart to architect a solution hosted in the Azure cloud.
The site used Contentful as a flexible CDN, React with Redux on the front end, and .NET on the back end. We identified tools and technologies that could be used to best fit their needs and solved problems with connecting securely to their Salesforce Commerce Cloud main site.
Implementing New Tools to Optimize the User Experience
We collaborated closely with PetSmart to define all functional areas that were needed based on the new site design. The majority of the functionality on the site runs on the browser side and relies heavily on shared APIs that the existing mobile apps use. We implemented new tools such as React, Redux Sagas, and used a flexible JSON Content Management System to improve PetSmart's technologies. These tools essentially ensured the services site developed and sent data, via API, to the main petsmart.com site seamlessly, and quickly.
Collaborating with Multi-Platform Systems to Create Consistency
The previous service's site had quite a few limitations that needed to be overcome, including an inability for a user to update a pet's profile, book training classes, and access bookings through a single sign-on experience with petsmart.com. To address these limitations, CQL worked with the PetSmart's services and Janrain teams and also collaborated with the Salesforce Commerce Cloud development team to ensure consistency between the services site and petsmart.com.
CQL worked closely with the product owner and the PetSmart services team to define requirements, acceptance criteria, and user acceptance tests, allowing us to identify tools and technologies that could be used to best fit their needs.
JANRAIN TEAM
CQL collaborated with the Janrain team to incorporate the single sign-on component between the new pet services site and petsmart.com. By integrating with Janrain, a customer profile and access management (CIAM) software, we executed a seamless single sign-on experience across brand sites.
SALESFORCE COMMERCE CLOUD DEVELOPMENT TEAM
PetSmart's main site, petsmart.com, operates on Salesforce Commerce Cloud, requiring the reuse of components between domains. Through CQL's extensive knowledge of Salesforce Commerce Cloud, we ensured site components such as the header and footer, framework styles, and content structure were flawlessly incorporated into the new service site to create a consistent customer experience for users of both sites.

Abstract: The average age of men affected by Peyronie's disease (PD) is approximately 50–55 years, but cases have been reported even in adolescence. Several studies have already investigated the presence of PD in young men, and these studies reported a PD prevalence that varies between 1.5% and 10.8%. Having noticed a greater number of young patients in our centers in recent years, we decided to carry out a retrospective study to evaluate the prevalence of PD in patients aged <40 years, as well as to investigate any possible difference in evolution based on the age of PD patients. We selected a sample of patients (n=271) with a similar time of onset of disease. We then stratified all 271 patients into two groups: group A (age <40 years [n=46]) and group B (age ≥40 years [n=225]). All 271 patients were evaluated for the following variables: penile plaque volume, degree of penile curvature, penile pain, and erectile function. Plaque volume was measured in cm3 by dynamic penile color Doppler sonography after administration of intracavernosal alprostadil 10 mcg. The number of younger patients was 46, accounting for 16.9% of the whole sample. Our study showed more frequent appearance and greater progression of penile curvature in younger patients. The average angle of penile curvature and average score of penile pain intensity in the younger men were significantly higher than in patients aged ≥40 years (P=0.025 and P=0.0001, respectively). In the younger patients, not only was the pain more intense (visual analog scale [VAS] of 5.2 versus 3.8), but it was also more frequently present than in patients aged ≥40 years (78.2% versus 62.2%) (P=0.042). We may conclude that since PD in young patients has a more acute onset and a greater possibility of progression, it should be treated conservatively as soon as it is diagnosed.


One in five children live in poverty today. Economic insecurity in childhood can often lead to lifelong disadvantages, ranging from poor health to low achievement in school. Federal investments like the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit lift millions of children and families out of poverty every year, but yet children still continue to bear the brunt of the recession's effects. The good news is that we know how to reduce child poverty. We can look to the United Kingdom, where the British government halved child poverty in 2009 through a coordinated strategy of investments for children, measures to make work pay, and efforts to increase financial support for families. We can also look to what has worked here in the US and our success in significantly reducing senior poverty through federal investments like Medicare and Social Security. We need to build on what works and help working families provide the security that is essential to ensure that all children can fulfill their potential.

Today I want to share with you my damask Christmas card with the SSS & Pretty Pink Posh STAMPtember Damask Greetings stamp set.
These damask designs are simple yet elegant and appropriate for CAS Christmas cards!
To create this card, I 1) Drew grid lines on watercolour paper panel using a pencil. 2) Stamped damask images from the Damask Greetings set with some Distress inks: Mermaid Lagoon, Crushed Olive, Faded Jeans, Peacock Feathers, Evergreen Bough, Wild Honey. 3) Brushed the stamped images lightly using a wet paint brush – Distress inks react with water! 4) Die cut the word "Joy" from metallic white card stock using the Big Joy die five times, and then stacked them up using fine tip glue pen. 5) Mounted the damask background panel on top-folded Fog Gray card base using foam tape, added the sentiment die cut on the card front using foam tape as well.
This entry was posted in Christmas, Pretty Pink Posh, Simon Says Stamp, Watercolor cards and tagged Christmas, Pretty Pink Posh, Simon Says Stamp, STAMPtember, Watercolor, Winter. Bookmark the permalink.
Really, really like the shades of distress and how you used a wet paintbrush.
Love the background design and your color choices. For some reason, these stamps look Scandinavian to me.
Beautiful design and that brush technique is so cool!

Q: What does dereference of free object in Ghostscript mean? I am getting the following error when trying to compress a pdf with Ghostscript:

The output pdf has images and text missing. (Note: The missing images are pdf format themselves.)
My code is working as I am getting an output pdf. My input pdf is 30 MB and my output pdf is 9 MB, if this is required please indicate how I can share the files as they are too large to upload here.

Code to generate pdf:
process = subprocess.Popen(['pdflatex', self.tex_file_location],
                        stdout=subprocess.PIPE,
                        stderr=subprocess.PIPE)
stdout, stderr = process.communicate()

Code to compress pdf:
subprocess.call([gs, '-sDEVICE=pdfwrite', '-dCompatibilityLevel=1.5',
                    '-dPDFSETTINGS={}'.format(quality[power]),
                    '-dNOPAUSE', '-dQUIET', '-dBATCH',
                    '-sOutputFile={}'.format(output_file_path),
                     input_file_path]

gs - location of Ghostscript Exe
input_file_path - String with the directory of input pdf.
output_file_path - String with the directory of output pdf.
Are there any options or settings I am missing? any help would be appreciated.

A: Just to close this issue, not that it solved my problem, but I went down a rabbit hole and the only explanation I could find for my specific error was that there is a bug in Ghostscript when compressing pdfs that contain vector images or pdf images, not clear which.
I have given up on using Ghostscript at the moment.


I was listening to SMILE FM this week and Riaan Swiegelaar, a psychic medium, was on air. He offers "advice on challenges in different areas of your life and can connect with loved ones that have passed on". You phone in, tell him your birth date and he lets you know what direction to take.
On Thursday night he was saying that it is crucial that you give your child the right name that can release the inner energy your child has. Wrongly naming your child can have disastrous effects. Imagine that! A parent could spend their entire life worrying that they gave their child the wrong name.
We are, everyday, surrounded with false teachings, wrong opinions and erroneous information.


Distinguished guests, as Chairman of the Judging Panel of The Cork Business Awards 2018, I would like to welcome you here this evening as we celebrate together the vital role the Cork business community play in the economic, social and cultural life of our city.
I was honoured when asked to take on this role following in the footsteps of the late Dr Chris Coughlan. Chris held the role since the founding of the awards 11 years ago, and has contributed so much, not only to the event, but to Cork itself.
In judging awards such as this, it is very difficult to select just one business from each of the categories. In truth, we all assist each other in some way, we all promote our sector and we all promote our city. In saying that, I want to acknowledge the very large number of entries received this year. The 1,000 entries received, shows the great interest you have in showcasing your particular business in the hope of being acknowledged, not only for your business, but equally for your employees and your customers.
In this the twelfth year of the awards, I feel it is important that we duly acknowledge all that is good about Cork, its future development strategy and the positive business opportunities that this presents.
I believe we have succeeded in selecting exceptional winners tonight but please remember that every person or business nominated is an actual winner, as every day, you do for Cork what so many others can't, and that is, you promote the very best of what Cork has to offer.
My own family business has been in existence for 63 years and I have seen many changes, we have adapted in the spirit of turning the challenges presented into opportunities.
There is no doubting Cork is experiencing a certain revival of its fortunes, with a string of development projects in the pipeline. Whilst I welcome this, I still worry about its future.
Cork City is experiencing exceptionally difficult times with retailing confronted in a way that we never imagined. Our shoppers and visitors are also being challenged. The introduction of the City Centre Movement Strategy may be seen as progress and a positive move, but if it comes at the cost of losing our indigenous businesses and the very heart and soul of our city, perhaps it will be an abject failure.
A city rising is a wonderful thing and our city is rising in so many ways. New buildings in so many parts, a model to go up as opposed to going out, something I have written about for 20 years, many thousands of new jobs for our city and our towns, but we must ask ourselves what the cost will be. Will it change the USP of Cork? That Unique Selling Point is our warmth and friendly business approach, that is more like a village feel than a city feel and is more in keeping with a highly personal service than an impersonal service.
I sometimes wonder if our local authorities and business organisations really know what they are seeking to change, as Cork and especially Cork City, is one of those unique places that if you change the model too much, you may break it and it may never be fixed. Cork City Centre is the economic, social and cultural heartbeat of our city and and we have to protect it, we all know what happens when a heart stops beating.
Progress for the sake of progress is not always progressive. We can't afford the luxury of experimenting with our business community and their employees. We simply have to get it right. I say this as a critic, from a loyal pew.
These Cork Business Awards reflect the strategy of expansion of Cork on a global platform. They also reflect the person and the personal approach that business owners contribute to their businesses. That is something that is unique to Cork.
In daily business life, I see the global reach of companies and products and each is only achieved by the exceptional people that lead, manage and are part of an organisation. You are leaders in your field, and those in your sector follow you and your example. You are, as we have described in our hashtag for these awards – #bestincork18 – and that is an important statement, as we all have a responsibility in business, to lead and not just follow. We set an example for excellence and we strive to do our very best to continually improve and those of you gathered here this evening are examples of that excellence.
Our task was, as I have said, an enormous challenge and while we have over 900 businesses and people that we did not acknowledge with an award this year, each of those businesses and people are outstanding in what they do.
However, our winners this evening are exceptional in our opinion and I am delighted that our choice for each category and for each area of Cork is representative of where Cork is and where it is going. Each of you, our winners here tonight, are Local and Global Ambassadors for Cork. Your philosophy is continuous in your ability to promote and serve Cork and to grow its profile locally, nationally and internationally and for this you deserve recognition and acknowledgement.
