Sports Illustrated editor on being fair to Ben Simmons
Julie Kliegman is an editor at Sports Illustrated and in an SI column, on a Canadian radio show and research for a forthcoming book, "Mind Game" about how elite athletes navigate mental health, she's been addressing Ben Simmons situation. She suggests that Simmons should not be excoriated for asserting he's had issues, but celebrated for returning from them … and finds it odd how Simmons has been treated compared to other high-profile athletes.
Specifically, Kliegman compares the case of the Nets newest star with those of Naomi Osaka in tennis and Simone Biles in gymnastics, both of whom stepped away from competition last year, and even DeMar DeRozan in the NBA who chronicled his battles with depression back in 2018 .
All were commended for taking a step back, admitting their issues. The Simmons case, she says, is oddly different. Simmons has been the target of pundits, fans, etc. in both Philadelphia and New York who claim Simmons has used mental health as a crutch, a way to get out of Philadelphia.
To start, she says, it's time for fans and media to "pay attention" to athletes' mental health just as they do their physical health. Writing for Sports Illustrated she noted that pro athletes, as rich, powerful and celebrated as they are, can serve as an example for others.
Simmons's situation is somewhat of a test: How closely have we been paying attention to the underlying messages of athletes who speak out about their mental health? Did previous public discussion, particularly over the past year by Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles, not show us that sometimes people just need a break or a change of scenery?
Not everyone—in sports or not—can afford those opportunities, but those who can should take them. And if those at the peak of their professions take a break, then maybe the rest of us can eventually follow their lead and work to set boundaries for ourselves, too.
Specifically, regarding the most egregious claim that Simmons "faked" his issues, Kleigman thinks it is misplaced, basically ignorant and hurt athletes' mental health in general.
"Of course, it's tough to know anyone's individual situation, None of us know him personally although some fans may feel like they do," she told Brent Bambury on "Day 6" a news magazine show on CBC Radio this weekend.
"First of all, how does anyone know if he's 'faking?' Who's inside his brain? Who's his licensed psychologist or his psychiatrist? None of us are. So, you know I think we need to give him the benefit of the doubt here just as we have done with other athletes like Naomi Osaka and Simone Biles. Dwayne Johnson, Dak Prescott, so many other people. It's not really fair to think he's 'faking'."
Indeed, even Daryl Morey, the Sixers GM, told a radio audience that he believes Simmons issues are legitimate.
Simmons said at his introductory press conference with the Nets that his issues are not about the fans in Philly, real or perceived criticisms from inside the Sixers' organization or even the nearly $20 million in fines the Sixers levied against him, etc.
"A bunch of things that were going on over the years, I wasn't myself," Simmons said. "Being happy, taking care of my well-being. It wasn't about the basketball, it wasn't about the money."
That of course has not stopped the cascade of criticism mainly from Philadelphia, as Kliegman wrote for SI.
"So much for Ben Simmons mental illness," tweeted Philadelphia radio personality Howard Eskin. "Amazing how that was just fine once he got traded. Insulting to those that really suffer."
"If Ben Simmons is suddenly ready to play for Brooklyn after weaponizing his mental health as an excuse to stay away from the Sixers, I'm going to have some thoughts," tweeted Matt Mullin, a soon-to-be Philadelphia Inquirer editor. "Some very angry thoughts that will be hard to keep to myself."
Similarly in New York, both Evan Roberts of WFAN and Chris Carlin of ESPN Radio have suggested Simmons was "faking it," as Bob Raissman of the Daily News wrote.
As for Simmons decision to go outside the 76ers organization to seek help, an issue for some, Kliegman said she thinks it was the right one. A Sixers staffer, no matter how professional, has the team, not the individual, as his or her client.
"From what I've heard is that it's a little tricky because of course they're grateful that the resources are offered, but at the same time, it's not always the best resource in feeling that your private thoughts and health issues are staying private . Seeking an outside resource who's unbiased, who's unaffiliated with the team, who has no vested interest in your productivity is often a better choice for athletes as far as I've heard."
In talking with CBC, Kliegman agreed that while it's "totally fair game" for fans to criticsze Simmons play on the court even how he handled his situation in Philly, some things should be off the table, noting, "it's really hard to reveal these things in a workplace."
So, why does she think people have reacted to differently in Simmons case compared to how they reacted when others sought a respite from the spotlight like Osaka, Biles and even DeRozan? She said she believes gender and race are factors.
"There is a difference being a man, especially being a black man in this situation because you're so expected to be perfect, tough and not at all vulnerable," she said, but noting that even DeRozan has gotten better treatment than Simmons in the media. "There still is a difference between how we talk about him and how we talk about DeMar. I think one of the other factors is just the timing and the financial aspect. I think that's different in Ben's situation."
Simmons still has four years, including this one, left on his five-year, $170 million contract and no player ever demanded a trade that early in a max deal.
Kliegman added that how the Simmons situation works out could be a milestone on the road to better understanding of athletes and mental health.
"We are doing better slowly," she told CBC. "We're understanding more. We're having more empathy. In the 90's and the 2000's, this wasn't even a conversation."
And what would she like to see and hear from fans and journalists when he finally steps on the court in Brooklyn black-and-white?
"I would like to see him celebrated," said Kliegman. "On the journalist part, I'd like to see them talk seriously about how in or out of shape he seems, The mental part doesn't seem super relevant unless he's on the court making all sorts of mental errors. Then maybe it comes up, but I'd like see us focus on him like we do with any other athlete coming back from a break."
From there, it's about the larger issue, treating Simmons with respect..
"As long as Ben Simmons is active and playing, I think there is a way that we can do better by him, just asking questions that are genuine and not with the assumption that he's faking, that he's lazy or that he just wants his money . So, it's a fresh start for him in Brooklyn. So why can't it be a fresh start for us in covering him as well?"

Mr. Bean: The Movie (1997)
3rd March 2009 /
Few days back I joined my son while he was seeing in Pogo channel this movie – Mr. Bean: The Movie. The movie is a full-length comedy just like any of the Mr.Bean's series. I had a thorough laugh for the 2 hours+ of the movie.
The story is a simple line but was enough for Rowan Atkinson to exploit to his fullest advantage. Bean works as a caretaker at Britain's Royal National Gallery where his bosses want to fire him, but couldn't because the chairman of the gallery likes him. They send him to a Los Angeles (USA) art gallery instead, where he'll have to officiate the opening of the greatest US picture ever (called "Whistler's Mother"). There David Langley, curator of the LA museum invites Mr Bean to stay with his family and Bean begins causing problems to David's marriage and family. Bean is given a few minutes alone to study the painting for his grand "speech", however, Bean sneezes on the painting and wipes it with a handkerchief, not knowing that it is covered in blue ink. Terrified, Bean tries to fix it but causes more damage.Rest of the story is how during the night, Mr Bean hatches a plan and restores the painting by keeping a copy. In the climax, Bean is mistaken for a doctor and pushed into an operating theatre with a policeman on the bed, who has been shot. While the other doctors and nurses are distracted, Bean unconventionally retrieves the bullet and saves him. Overall, the movie is a total comedy riot – enjoy it.

If you enjoyed this movie, then you should see the movie 'Johnny English'. This is another hilarous movie where Rowan Atkinson plays Mr. Bond. A fun filled comedy and worth seeing. The climax is one of the best that I have ever seen in a comedy movie.

Wherever it happens, law is a physique of rules that speak to how folks should behave in society (substantive legislation) and the way the authorized system itself ought to proceed (adjective law). The volume and complexity of guidelines may be anticipated to parallel the dimensions and complexity of the society of which they're a part. But broad classes of substantive legislation—tort law, property regulation, felony regulation—apparently exist in all authorized orders, as do the basics of adjective legislation—process and proof.

When the office is permeated with "discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult," 477 U.S. at sixty five, that's "sufficiently extreme or pervasive to alter the situations of the sufferer's employment and create an abusive working surroundings," Title VII is violated. Harris then sued Forklift, claiming that Hardy's conduct had created an abusive work surroundings for her due to her gender. The United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee, adopting the report and suggestion of the Magistrate, found this to be "a close case," however held that Hardy's conduct did not create an abusive surroundings.

The focus on non-public substantive regulation has the extra outcome that it overemphasizes legal doctrine while underemphasizing the diploma to which legal methods are a product of the encompassing society. The consequence is to underneath-state similarities in Western legal arrangements which may be captured by the idea of a authorized culture. From the sociological point of view, maybe an important contributor to the early growth of comparative legislation was that preeminent lawyer-social scientist, Max Weber.

Find Scotland Tours that visit The Frigate Unicorn.
Parking: No dedicated parking area for ship. You can try to park on streets nearby or else park at the nearby City Quay shopping centre and then cross the bridge from the shopping centre to the ship.
Accessibility: There is a steep gangway up to the ship and access between decks is by means of the original steps which are very steep.
Toilets: Yes, toilets are located on board the ship on the Gun deck that you enter the ship via.
Shop: There is a small gift shop selling pirate and maritime themed gifts.
The Frigate Unicorn in Dundee is located within walking distance of the RRS Discovery so you might wish to combine visits to both of these ships within the same day. Whilst RRS Discovery has been subject to a major restoration and is complimented by a modern visitor centre, the Frigate Unicorn is a more modest affair, but is very original and well worth a visit for anyone with an interest in maritime history.
The ship was built in 1824, which makes it one of the 6th oldest ships in the world and a very rare example of a warship from the era of sail. Although designed as a 46 gun frigate, HMS Unicorn never had to fire her guns in anger and was kept in "reserve" as she entered service soon after the Napoleonic Wars when it was a relatively peaceful time for the Royal Navy.
Soon after the frigate Unicorn was launched, she had a "roof" constructed over her upper deck and it is this roof which has helped her to be preserved in such an original state. The presence of the roof does detract from what would otherwise be an attractively shaped hull, but once you descend to the lower decks you are immersed in the reality of life aboard a 19th century warship. The overpowering impression is just how claustrophobic it would have been to live and fight below decks on a warship like this.
The upper deck has a display of model ships including a scale model of how HMS Frigate would have looked without her "roof" and with her masts and rigging in place. There are also information boards around the upper deck with pictures and stories about ships, sailors and soldiers who were based in Dundee during World War 2.
An area of the Gun Deck is set up to represent the way the ship would have been configured with canons, but the other displays on this deck are a bit haphazard and the originality of the ship on this deck is a bit spoilt by the presence of the gift shop. Descending to the Lower deck, "Orlop" deck and Hold gives you a much better feel for what the original ship would have felt like. When you climb down the steep steps to these decks, you really start to appreciate how crowded and claustrophobic the ship would have been with its full compliment of 300 crew.
As a visitor attraction, it is apparent that the Frigate Unicorn is run on a tight budget, but if you have an interest in Maritime history you will certainly enjoy a visit to this remarkably original warship.

The joints of the human body are miraculous devices that we depend on every day of our lives.
They are also delicate mechanisms that can sustain damage from normal wear and tear, injury and accidents. When joint pain becomes a problem, you can utilize a variety of home treatments to reduce swelling and inflammation. Consult an orthopedist for ongoing joint pain that begins to affect your daily activities.
Here are the most effective ways to ease the pain.
Heat has been used for generations to alleviate the pain from sore, aching joints. The heat opens up blood vessels, allowing greater blood flow to the area to reduce swelling and the sensation of pain. Moist treatments include warm cloths, warm baths that cover the painful joint or swimming in a heated pool. Dry heat treatments include the use of electric heating pads, hot packs that can be warmed in the microwave, disposable heat patches or a heat lamp. Always be careful with temperatures to avoid burns to the skin. Heat treatments are sometimes combined with ice packs to reduce swelling.
Bracing can help to support joints to reduce pain. A number of different types of bracing are available. Simple wrapping with an ace bandage can provide some support to joints after injury or overuse. Elastic sleeves that fit over the joint can provide even better support. The neoprene brace fits over the joint and is held together with Velcro fasteners. They can be helpful in cases of chronic joint pain. Padded types of joint braces can offer good support after surgery.
A number of topical creams and ointments are available to treat joint pain. The cream is rubbed onto the skin over the joint. These medications generally contain menthol compounds or capsaicin, both of which create a feeling of heat that helps to soothe the painful area.


Biology (photosynthesis) Note on Photosynthesis, created by lmg719 on 05/05/2013.
Green plants absorb light energy using chlorophyll in their leaves.They use it to react carbon dioxide with water to make a sugar called glucose.The glucose is used in respiration, or converted into starch and stored.Oxygen is produced as a by-product.This process is called photosynthesis.Temperature, carbon dioxide concentration and light intensity are factors that can limit the rate of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the chemical change which happens in the leaves of green plants. It is the first step towards making food - not just for plants but ultimately every animal on the planet.
Some glucose is used for respiration, while some is converted into insoluble starch for storage. The stored starch can later be turned back into glucose and used in respiration.
Factors limiting photosynthesisThree factors can limit the speed of photosynthesis: light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.
If it gets too cold, the rate of photosynthesis will decrease. Plants cannot photosynthesise if it gets too hot.If you plot the rate of photosynthesis against the levels of these three limiting factors, you get graphs like the ones above.In practice, any one of these factors could limit the rate of photosynthesis.
Economics of greenhousesFarmers can use their knowledge of factors limiting the rate of photosynthesis to increase crop yields.This is particularly true in greenhouses, where the conditions are more easily controlled than in the open air outside: The use of artificial light allows photosynthesis to continue beyond daylight hours. Bright lights also provide a higher-than-normal light intensity. The use of artificial heating allows photosynthesis to continue at an increased rate. The use of additional carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere inside the greenhouse also allows photosynthesis to continue at an increased rate.
However, the additional cost of providing extra lighting, heat and carbon dioxide has to be weighed against the increased crop yield and the extra income it will provide. The cost of should not exceed the additional income it generates for the farmer.In practice, the farmer will need to find the optimum growing conditions for the crop, given the costs of providing extra lighting, heat and carbon dioxide.Paraffin lamps have traditionally been used in greenhouses. Their use increases the rate of photosynthesis because as well as the light generated from the lamps, the burning paraffin produces heat and carbon dioxide too.
UseSome glucose is used for respiration to release energy. Some is used to produce: Cellulose - which strengthens the cell wall Proteins - such as enzymes and chlorophyll Plants also need nitrates to make proteins. These are absorbed from the soil as nitrate ions.


This book was very emotional for me, mainly because the topic at hand was cancer. Having a cancer patient for a grandfather, I was a tad weary at reading this book because I felt it would upset me, but instead, it opened my eyes more. I'm glad to have read it.
This is my first John Green book and after reading it, I am definitely planning on getting my hands on his other books which I hear are really good as well.
hear the end of the story.
Green's writing is addictive; that's the only way I can seem to describe it. I was hooked from page one. He didn't write it as a book about cancer, but rather as a book about love, loss, and disappointment. It just so happened the two main characters had cancer. This book was emotional and at times heart-breaking. The plot wasn't clichéd, and was definitely unique and special. It left a beautiful ache in my heart.
I especially loved the whole side plot about the book. One would think it would be an amazing experience to meet their favorite author in their own home, but for Hazel, it was more of a nightmare and a major disappointment. Though I do believe Mr. Peter Van Houten does redeem himself at the end; especially hearing the reason behind why he is the way he is: rude, a drunk, and just a lousy person to be around.
As my first John Green novel, I was left thinking, What took me so long?! I was not let down from my expectations for it was everything I expected and more. I would recommend this book to everyone I know because it gives them a rather different perspective of life around them, and tells them every moment we live is precious, so live life to the fullest.
Live. Love. Laugh -It all has a new meaning to me now.

Three former stars of the NASCAR Cup Series – two of them members of the Hall of Fame – are set to take part in a Next Gen test this coming week.
Multiple sources have confirmed to Motorsport.com that Hall of Famers Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr. as well as Fox TV analyst Clint Bowyer are expected to take part in a test of the Next Gen car at Bowman-Gray Stadium on Tuesday.
Logano after Next Gen Roval test: "You can line us up and go"
Bowman-Gray is a 1⁄4-mile asphalt flat oval short track in Winston-Salem, N.C., and NASCAR's longest-running weekly race track. The legendary track also hosted 29 Cup Series races from 1958 to 1971.
The three drivers will take turns in a NASCAR Next Gen car as the sanctioning body prepares for the car's first "race" – the 2022 preseason non-points Clash, which will be held Feb. 6 at the Los Angeles Coliseum.

The Coliseum's traditional surface will be replaced by a temporary ¼-mile, asphalt short track. The use of former drivers was done in part so no current drivers would obtain an advantage before the race.
The Clash at the Coliseum will be a signature event as a part of the venue's centennial celebration and mark the first time NASCAR's prelude to the annual Daytona 500 will take place somewhere other than Daytona International Speedway.
NASCAR recently completed a two-day test of the Next Gen car at the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval course.
Upcoming additional tests include a tire test at Wythe Raceway, a ½-mile, high-banked clay track in Rural Retreat, Va. That test will be in preparation for next season's Cup Series dirt race at Bristol, Tenn.
A two-day test on the Charlotte oval layout is set for Nov. 17-18.
On Tuesday morning, NASCAR confirmed Earnhardt and Bowyer would take part in Tuesday's test and be available for media interviews afterwards. Stewart was also originally scheduled to participate but was not listed on the media advisory.
The test is not open to the public.

Today is Winter solstice or Dong Zhi and Chinese throughout the world is celebrating this important festival by having a bowl of glutinous rice ball soup called Tangyuan, It is usually 3 days before Christmas and after today, Chinese can start prepare for the arrival of Spring Festival or Chinese New Year.
Today, I am sharing a recipe of a tangyuan look alike cookie, not originated from China but from Scandinavian countries. It is called Russian Tea Cake. Scandinavians served this cookie during Christmas and the same cookie will definitely a hit in the Chinese New Year as it resemble one of the cookies commonly served during the Chinese New Year in Malaysia– Ghee cookies or Kueh Arab. It had another more common name, snowball cookies because of the dusting of icing sugar on the cookies.
While I am visiting Ms. Danita Shipp Carr 's blog "O TASTE AND SEE", I saw her Russian Tea Cakes. It immediately reminded me of the ghee cookies that I used to have when I was young. I missed the cookies as it is not that common in Singapore. Since the ingredients are simple, I have decided to try preparing the cookies with the leftover macadamia nuts that I have. (The original recipes uses pecan nut and other recipes called for walnuts or almonds).
It was in the morning and I asked my kid to wake up earlier to help me to shape the cookie. Though they are 7 and 9 years old, their shaping is definitely better than mine. After the baking, when I took my first bite, I knew very sure that this will be a hit among the Chinese New Year. My initial intention is to prepare these cookies for a family gathering two days later, somehow, after one day, half of the cookies were gone….My family members keep popping into their mouth these delicious cookies.
For my international readers, during Chinese New Years, most Chinese families will have open house inviting guest to visit their families. Possibly influenced by the British Colonization prior to the countries' independence in the 1960's, most Chinese families will serve Western butter pastries to their house guest. However, most cookies have been adapted to the local taste. One of the important localization is the size of the cookies. Chinese liked their cookies to be one bite size bearing in mind, there may be many types of cookies in a serving tray… Therefore, I have decided to make it into a common Chinese New Year cookie size – a 1.5 cm ball.
Cream the butter and 50 grams of icing sugar until light and pale. Sift in plain flour, use a spatula to stir until well mixed. Add chopped macadamia nuts, vanilla essences and salt, stir again until well mixed.
If you are able to handle soft dough, you can by pass this step. Otherwise, let it chill in the fridge until slightly harden which took about 10-15 minutes.
This step is optional. Depending on your ability to divide the dough equally, you can either follow this step or use your own step. You can consider using a teaspoon to drop the dough to your desired size. In a flat surface, lightly flatten your dough. Put a piece of clingy wrap on top of the dough and use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a 0.5 cm thick flat sheet. Use a knife to cut into an even square shape. Take out one portion of the square doll and shape it into a ball using your palm.
Due to Singapore's hot weather, by the time your balls were shaped, it will be rather soft. Put the balls to the fridge again and chilled for 10-15 minutes. After 10-15 minutes, shape the ball again. Your balls should have a better shape now. Baked in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
Immediately when the cookies are out of oven, get ready a bowl of icing sugar, transfer the cookies to the bowl and roll against the sugar powder. Take out and put in a wire rack and cool completely. In this process, care have to be taken to handle these balls as it is still hot and fragile. Once the balls are completely cooled, roll against the icing sugar again. Keep the cooled cookies in an air tight container.
It is rather seldom that the cookies that I prepared were well liked by all the family members. This is one of the exceptional The inclusion of macadamia nuts not only enhanced the taste but also make it a presentable New Year or Christmas gift.

Stopping by from the Best of the Weekend party – I love Macadamia nuts so these cookies look heavenly! I also love that the recipe only has 5 ingredients (other than salt).
These look and sound delicious. I've never had Russian Tea Cake Cookies but I think it's time I gave them a try. The recipe looks quite easy.


On Feb. 21, Jim Rosenheim, owner and CEO of Tiny Jewel Box in Washington D.C., spoke on a conference call on behalf of the Marketplace Fairness Act, new congressional legislation that would give the states the authority to collect sales tax from Internet sites.
He pointed out the disadvantage that arises when customers browse brick-and-mortar stores but make purchases on the Internet. "Brick-and-mortar stores shouldn't be operated as showrooms where consumers can find products, have their questions answered, and then go to the Internet to buy them at the same price but not pay sales tax," said Rosenheim, who also serves on the board of Jewelers of America.
When asked hypothetically if he would be willing to lower his prices to compete with an online competitor who may cut down prices to compensate with the tax, Rosenheim stated that his business has adjusted to Internet sales over time.

El Ojai Valley Inn, u Ojai Valley Inn and Spa, es un resort y campo de golf de 220 acres en Ojai, California. El campo de golf se desarrolló en 1923 y la posada comenzó en la década de 1930. La propiedad ha sido objeto de múltiples renovaciones y ampliaciones a lo largo de los años, incluida la incorporación del Spa Ojai en 1997.

Historia

Primeros años
En 1923, el industrial del vidrio y desarrollador de Ojai, Edward Libbey, construyó un campo de golf en el sitio. El campo de golf, conocido hasta la década de 1940 como Ojai Valley Country Club, fue diseñado por el destacado diseñador de campos de golf George C. Thomas Jr. Según los informes, Libby le dio a Thomas total libertad para diseñar el campo y le dijo a Thomas: "Adelante, constrúyeme el mejor campo que se pueda construir en mi propiedad y usa cualquier terreno que desees. Dame lo mejor. El dinero no será un problema."

El campo de golf, situado en el valle de Ojai, ofrece vistas de la Al finalizar, el campo fue aclamado como el más bonito del sur de California. Los Angeles Times escribió más tarde que el campo, con sus arroyos y viejos robles, "fue diseñado para que pareciera haber estado allí desde siempre".

La casa club, rodeada de robles, fue diseñada por el arquitecto Wallace Neff en estilo colonial español.

En 1934, el club de campo se amplió para agregar una posada. El nuevo edificio de dos pisos fue diseñado por Ausen Pierpont y estaba conectado a la casa club por un pasillo de vidrio cerrado.

Uso en tiempos de guerra por militares
Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la propiedad fue tomada por los militares. A principios de la guerra, se utilizó como campamento del ejército con barracones construidos en el campo de golf. En 1944, la Marina se hizo cargo de la propiedad para viviendas adicionales de la Base Naval de Port Hueneme . La casa club y los terrenos fueron utilizados por el personal de la Marina como alojamiento de oficiales y para unidades Seabee y patios de armas. La propiedad fue devuelta al club de campo después de la guerra. En abril de 1945, Bing Crosby y Bob Hope organizaron una recaudación de fondos en la propiedad para el fondo de Bienestar de Ayuda de la Marina.Ojai Valley Inn

Desarrollo de posguerra de la posada y el resort.
En 1946 o 1947, fue comprado por $250,000 por un sindicato liderado por el hotelero Don Burger. Burger cambió el nombre a Ojai Valley y comenzó a desarrollarla como centro turístico. En 1947, agregó una piscina y la primera unidad hotelera de 50 habitaciones con amplios dormitorios, colchones con 200 resortes de muselina atados a mano y diseño de interiores de Barbara Barondess MacLean. El campo de golf de 18 hoyos también fue reconstruido a una longitud de 6,800 pies y se agregó un embalse de agua.

Conexiones de Hollywood
La propiedad se ha utilizado como lugar de rodaje de varias películas de la siguiente manera:

 Horizonte perdido (1937). El director Frank Capra usó Ojai y el club de campo para representar a Shangri-La.
 Pat and Mike (1952) protagonizada por Katharine Hepburn y Spencer Tracy, en una escena en la que discuten sobre golpes de golf
 Los dos jakes (1990)

La propiedad también fue durante muchos años un destino para celebridades de Hollywood, incluidos Clark Gable, Walt Disney, Lana Turner, Nancy y Ronald Reagan, Irene Dunne, Loretta Young, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Judy Garland y Hoagy Carmichael.

Desarrollo moderno
A mediados de la década de 1980, Jim y Paula Crown, nietos de Henry Crown, compraron la propiedad. Durante los siguientes tres años, los nuevos propietarios gastaron $35 millones en la renovación del hotel, duplicando la capacidad a 218 habitaciones, agregando una nueva piscina y un centro de conferencias con capacidad para 500 personas, ampliando las instalaciones de tenis y fitness del complejo y restaurando el campo de golf. La propiedad reabrió tras la renovación en 1988.

En 1997 se agregó el edificio del balneario, un edificio de cuatro pisos de estilo colonial español con un campanario de 50 pies de altura diseñado por el arquitecto David Bury.  Toda la propiedad se sometió a una renovación de $ 90 millones que finalizó entre 2003 y 2006 que incluyó la adición de Casa Elar, una residencia de cinco habitaciones que ofrece "el máximo lujo y privacidad".

Q: How to count the amount of times a certain word appears in my python output? (Multiple Lines/Long List) so I am doing some sentiment analysis on a bunch of reviews (100,000 reviews which I data cleaned down to 9,000). I successfully analyzed each review into Positive and Negative. Now when I print my results, it prints each of the reviews and says "Positive" or "Negative". Here is a simplified results of my output https://i.imgur.com/y0iALSg.jpg
Now I want to count the amount of times "Positive" appears and amount of times "Negative" appears. I tried a bunch of different ways but the furthest I've gotten is to count only the first line of my output.
Here's one of the ways I've tried:
x = sentimentprediction.count('Positive')
print(x)
Any thoughts on how to do this?

Decorated Olympian Marnie McBean calls on athletes to be authentic selves
By Takaki Tominaga, KYODO NEWS - Nov 19, 2019 - 12:00 | Sports, Feature, News
Marnie McBean, one of Canada's most decorated Olympians and athletic mentors, has some pointed advice for athletes, especially sexual minority youth: have the courage to be authentic to unlock your potential and maximize your performance.
McBean, who identifies as gay, took part in a seminar focused on LGBTI --lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex -- and sports as a panelist at the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo in November. Intersex people are those born with sex characteristics that do not fit the typical binary notions of male or female bodies.
"My message to young athletes is, take the time you need and when you're ready, be strong. There is a team around you who will love you and embrace you, and your authentic self is the strongest that you have," McBean, a retired competitive rower, told the panel audience.
In order for those people to be true to themselves, McBean, a three-time Olympic gold medalist in rowing, underscored the importance of support from members outside the LGBT community, pointing out that many movements of freedom and equality start with these "allies" standing up against minority oppression.
"We don't have any professional athletes who've come out as active athletes (in Canada) but there are allies and they help us avoid stigma so they show us and give us the strength to be our authentic self," said McBean.
At the annual pride parade in Toronto, professional sports teams based in the city, including those in the National Hockey League, the National Basketball Association, and Major League Baseball, have joined the march to show their support, she said.
"So the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Toronto Raptors, our baseball team the Toronto Blue Jays, they all marched with us as part of our One Team umbrella," she said.
The One Team initiative by Canada was created to battle gender-based discrimination, homophobia, biphobia, transphobia, or any other type of discrimination in sport.
According to the Canadian Olympic Committee, addressing such discrimination will bring significant benefits for all, not just sexual minorities, as it will help remove barriers to participation in sport and make it a more welcoming place for girls and women, for example.
The committee pointed out many girls and women stay away from sport, or remain in the closet about their sexual identities, out of fear they will be stigmatized.
Gender-based stereotypes are still deeply rooted in society even today, she suggested.
People often think, "Oh, he plays football, he can't possibly be gay. Oh, she plays football, she must be gay," McBean said.
But because of the shifting landscape, McBean said athletes are being encouraged to come out instead of worrying about how such action might affect their sponsorship deals and future in sports.
"I would say, there is actually a situation now where sponsors and partners are looking to show their genuine support of the diversity. So now instead of being a disadvantage for coming out, there is an advantage because the community is getting so strong."
Echoing McBean's sentiments, Herbert Wolff, director of International Relations for the Dutch Olympic Committee, said, "We are convinced that anyone can only be successful in life or lift to the full potential if he or she is to be himself or herself and to be true to his own beliefs."
At the same time, McBean, who has been working since 2006 as a specialist in high performance, Olympic preparations, also noted that dangers and risks of coming out still exist, especially outside countries like Canada and the Netherlands, which are more tolerant of values shared among the LGBT community.

"So first of all, you want to be safe. It's easy to say in Canada, be (your) authentic self and dress how you want to express yourself," she said. "But I know there are many places around the world that still lead to tragic consequences."
The world's first ever Pride House, aimed at providing a safe space for LGBT athletes, their families and fans, opened in Canada during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Whistler.
Pride House Tokyo, planned to open for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics next year, is set to have four roles.
In the "hospitality" role, it will provide a venue where people can feel welcome regardless of their sexuality, while in the "concierge" role it will give out regional and cultural information linked to the sexual minority community in Japan, according to Pride House International.
Tokyo's house is also set to teach visitors about challenges and solutions to issues related to sexual minorities and sports in its "outreach" role, while hosting sporting events open to both visitors and local residents in its "participation" role, PHI said.
"We also think the Tokyo Games will serve as the turning point for the sports industry to squarely face this issue," said Gon Matsunaka, president of Pride House Tokyo.
"While I understand social change usually takes place in a gradual manner, I personally think the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics are an opportunity for us to step on the gas and accelerate the process of change," he said.

THE CARS – Move Like This
Posted on May 10, 2011 by Real Gone
'Move To This' may be the first new material recorded by The Cars since their forgettable swansong 'Door To Door' back in 1987, but after a few bars of their 2011 comeback release, it's like they never really went away. The keyboard bleeps which cut through the main riff of the opening number 'Blue Tip' are unmistakably the work of Greg Hawkes and frontman Ric Ocasek's spiky vocal style is even more distinctive. More impressively, not much of an attempt has been made to change or update The Cars' signature sound here – 'Blue Tip' could have opened a Cars disc in the late 80s.
The four surviving members – Ric Ocasek (vocals/rhythm guitar), Greg Hawkes (keyboards, bass, backing vocals), David Robinson (drums) and Elliot Eason (guitar/backing vocals) sound as sharp as ever and Jacknife Lee's production job is as lavish as either Roy Thomas Baker or Mutt Lange's previous efforts with the band. After 'Blue Tip' opens with a keyboard bass augmented by jagged rhythm guitars, Hawkes chimes in with the mechanical keyboard sounds, making this sound like a number which sounds like it could be a 'Candy-O' leftover. To balance out the shameless new-wave elements on the verses, the chorus has a fuller sound where Elliot Easton gets to deliver a simple guitar riff. The Cars always had a knack for great hooks and 'Blue Tip' has a decent one, but it takes a couple of plays to sink in, since initially it's a little overshadowed by those keyboard noises and the general excitement of a new Cars record.
'Sad Song' utilises handclaps and a rhythm guitar in a way which recalls 'My Best Friend's Girl' and its chorus section riff has echoes of 'You're All I've Got Tonight'. Both elements are given a dusting down and a new slant though, and here Hawkes's keyboards have a fantastic full sound, brilliantly complimented by Robinson's drumming, which has a hard edge without ever becoming aggressive.
A similar mood can be heard on 'Hits Me', which showcases the best elements of each of the musicians – Hawkes's keyboards maintain their retro futurism, while Easton's staccato guitar style dominates. The slow number 'Soon' – in a better, fairer world – would be a number which previously would have been a vocal spotlight for Ben Orr [Orr passed away in 2000 after a battle with pancreatic cancer]. Despite his edgier style, Ocasek manages to rein his voice in a little and deliver a sympathetic, soft vocal. Musically, its simplicity is the key; the rhythm guitars have a lovely ringing sound which carries the tune throughout and Greg Hawkes's keys offer a few subtle bell noises. He can't resist an old-school keyboard solo in the middle though; but even then, it sits on the good side of tasteful.
The quirky pop rock workout 'Free' has a slightly harder quality, which in places is reminiscent of Ocasek's 1997 solo release 'Troublizing' with its more modern take on a retro sound (but certainly none the worse for that), while it's occasional stabbing guitar riff tips the hat to 'Bye Bye Love' from The Cars' debut album. The chorus is strong, with Ocasek backed up by Hawkes and Easton on a pleasing backing vocal. 'Drag On Forever' has a gentle chug which manages to stay buoyant thanks to a lead guitar part creeping in between the verses, with Easton delivering long, full notes. The whole track is swamped by the sound of Christmas bells, which can seem a little jarring – maybe that was Greg Hawkes's way of lightening the mood a little… 'Take Another Look' is the album's most lightweight number, harking back to the most commercial moments of 'Heartbeat City'. David Robinson's electronic drums underpin a smooth arrangement full of harmony vocals on a very, very Ben Orr-esque number.
It may not be as classic as The Cars self-titled 1978 debut or as over-polished as parts of their 1985 million-selling 'Heartbeat City', but 'Move Like This' is streets ahead of 1980's difficult 'Panorama' or 1987's 'Door To Door'. Original bassist/second vocalist Ben Orr is sadly missed in a couple of places, but the four surviving original members deliver an album which celebrates the past without ever sounding self-congratulatory. Comebacks can sometimes sound forced or stale (especially if that comeback is solely money oriented), but for 'Move Like This', there's no hint of that. The chemistry between Ocasek, Hawkes, Easton and Robinson sounds magical, with their formulaic, somewhat predictable sound often working as a great strength. An album with so much riding on it could have been disappointing, but for long-time fans this is a welcome return and an essential purchase.

It's not just queries that reading extra pages can slow down. DBCC CHECKDB, backups, and index and statistics maintenance all have to deal with all those pages. Lowering fill factor without good reason puts you in the same boat as index fragmentation does, except regular maintenance won't "fix" the problem.
Like everything else, the appropriate fill factor depends upon your context.
But why oh why didn't SQL use my filtered indexes for even smaller subsets of the filter condition? It seemed insane to me that SQL would know the filter for the index is on (x > y), but wouldn't use them even if (z > x).
The solution was to put the filtered column in the include list. This lets SQL generate statistics on the column, and much like getting rid of the predicate key lookup, allows you to search within the filtered index subset for even more specific information.
Filtered indexes are as useful as they are mercurial.


2019 buick lacrosse essence is quite a nice and comfortable motor vehicle. This vehicle is able to give comfort and confidence for the owner. Besides, if you really wish to get a new car, then this (keyword) is really a vehicle worth considering.
2019 buick lacrosse essence have existed since last year prior to the redesign, but luckily it isn't rethought. The brand new design of the car looks more lovely and elegant. 2019 buick lacrosse essence provides a comfortable driving position, loads of leading elbow area, and a dash that is much enough to make the interior feel spacious. The upright shape and low window line make the interior spacious and lightweight and supply excellent outdoors visibility.
Soundproofing features on this car is said to be very excellent. More lost noise added this past year, in addition to acoustic windshields, thicker windshields and much better door seals. This helps conquer noise that's so annoying and makes the car a whole lot more pleasurable for longer excursions.
Great security features and constant updates for its security attributes of placing this 2019 buick lacrosse essence among the very best brands in its course. With full security features, this will certainly make you feel much more comfortable when driving this vehicle. You don't need to worry when the worst occurs. The safety features of this car have also been analyzed before.
This car is going to be found in 2019. However, for the specific date we still know it. The issue of the cost of this latest car version is still not disclosed. Let's wait until the company announces it in the media.


Recognised Prior Learning can be awarded through the course completion report. It works by providing a manual over-ride to an activity module completion. In other words a trainer can manually award RPL and the learner is marked as complete for an activity without needing to undertake the activity.
By using completion in this way the award of RPL is consistent with the Training Plan progress progress bars, the course completion status, and activity restriction sequences.
To turn on RPL go to Site Administration -> Advanced features and scroll down to course and activity RPL. Tick any modules that you want to allow support for RPL on.
Access the course completion report via the Course Completion Status block or via Course Administration -> Reports -> Course completion.
RPL is now awarded and completion status will update when the page next loads or refreshes. You can remove RPL by ticking the RPL option and pressing the delete cross.

Q: wxFileExists returns false in Mac I am using wxWidgets in Mac with C++ (obviously) and Xcode.
This line returns false, when it should be true.
` if(!wxFileExists(filePicker->GetPath())
{
 wxMessageDialog(this, "error").ShowModal();
 return;
} `

where filePicker is a wxFilePickerCtrl. It's value is :
    filepath std::__1::string "/Users/swtsvn/Main/Proj1/Mac/binaries/osx/Debug/wxSampleApp.app"
The path has upper case, and no spaces. The File is located in that path, since I picked that file path using file picker wxWidget tool.
I searched for a reason wxFileExists might return false on Mac but not on Windows, but could not find one in Google.
If anyone knows the answer, kindly let me know.

A: According to the docs, wxFileExists():

Returns true if the file exists and is a plain file.

So, it returns false for directories. Mac app bundles, such as your wxSampleApp.app, are directories. It is the intentional behavior of the function that it return false in this case.
You could presumably use wxFileExists(path) || wxDirExists(path) instead, although that will be somewhat inefficient.
