It was 2001. Everytime I turned around I kept hearing about the little girls in China. That there were hundreds and thousands of baby girls living in orphanages in China. Everytime I turned on the TV - there it was. Everytime I went to a conference - someone was there speaking about China. So I had to ask myself...is God trying to tell me something?
Brad & I had been married for 5 years. We had always always said that this was when we wanted to start a family. And I was drawn in such a strong way to check out adoption from China. The more I searched for information- the more this love grew inside of me for a baby I had never met. But then I found out that both parents had to be 30 to adopt from China. I was only 26 at the time.
I had shared my heart with Brad - and even though he seemed open to the idea - I could tell he was reserved about it. Now I know it was the fear of the unknown.
Since it would be several years before we could qualify by age to adopt one of these abandoned baby girls, we decided to try and have a biological child. January 2003 Macy Brooke McMath entered our lives and has been utter joy! I don't know what we ever did all those years before her! Life must have been soooo boring!

Texas baby weighs nearly 15 pounds at birth, breaking hospital record
Posted 4:42 pm, December 29, 2018, by CNNwire, Updated at 06:07PM, December 29, 2018
ARLINGTON, Texas — A baby born this month in Texas weighed nearly 15 pounds, breaking records for the hospital.
Baby Ali was born Dec. 12 at Arlington Medical Hospital in Arlington, weighing 14 pounds, 13 ounces. He was the largest baby born in the hospital according to records, a spokeswoman told CNN.
The average weight of full-term babies is about 7 pounds, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center.
Parents Jennifer and Eric Medlock told CNN affiliate KTVT that Ali was born via cesarean section. They were expecting a big baby, they said, since their firstborn, Annabelle, weighed more than 9 pounds at birth.
The arrival of baby Ali is a blessing for the Medlocks. Jennifer said she has severe polycystic ovarian syndrome, which can increase risks of infertility for women. Their daughter Annabelle, now 2, was born with the help of fertility treatments, according to KTVT.
The Medlocks said they were getting ready to start fertility treatments again when they learned they were expecting another baby.
"It doesn't matter how big he is, I'm so blessed to have him," Jennifer said.
Baby Ali spent a week in the neonatal intensive care unit because his blood sugar and platelets were low, according to KTVT. He has since been able to go home.
The recovery hasn't been easy for Jennifer, who suffered a secondary infection after the birth that will take a few more weeks to heal, Eric told CNN.
Ali is so big that at 2 weeks old, he's already in clothes for 3-to-6-month-olds — and he's already in a size 3 diaper, Eric said. "We skipped (size) zero very quickly."
Eric said Ali is doing well.
"He's sleeping and eating and he's just a healthy boy," he said. "Just a little bit bigger than you would expect."
The Medlocks said many are already predicting what Ali will do in the future based on his large size — perhaps playing football.
"He's loved," dad Eric said. "Do whatever makes him happy."

Investing is an important aspect of our financial lives, but the fact is that women invest less than men. In this episode I speak with Andy Wang where we dig deeper into this topic of investing and he brings up some key points which you need to know about.
Andy's first money memory involved money he received from either a birthday or Chinese New Year. Upon receiving his new funds, Andy and his mother travelled to their local bank, where he opened his first savings account. After depositing $100, Andy was astounded by the immediate 0.04$ increase from interest alone. Years later, Andy got his first job working at the front desk of a tennis club at the age of 15.
Andy grew up in a money savvy family. His father worked as the director of research at the bank of New York, was a keynote speaker, and ended up running the money management subsidiaries at the bank of New York. Upon entering 4th grade, Andy's mother returned to work as a stockbroker. Dinner conversations often involved Andy's father educating him and his brother on money equity and economic cycles. His father explained economic cycles using appliance updating as an example.
Growing up, Andy did not dream of becoming a financial adviser, nor did he plan to work with his father and brother in a family business. During his college years, Andy interned at several brokerage firms. After graduating, Andy left New Jersey for Boston, where he worked at a financial services company, and an investment firm. After working a couple jobs outside of financial investment, he returned to Boston to work with his father.
With his parents leading by example, Andy does his best to educate his own children on money matters. Andy explains how kids watch what you do likely more than what you say. When he started his podcast 6 months ago, Andy's son approached him with a school project he had completed. The assignment was to finish the sentence "My goal is…", to which Andy's son wrote "have a podcast like dad." Knowing his kids pay attention to his actions, Andy shares his mistakes, in hopes of teaching his kids the quality of learning from mistakes.
Most members of Andy's family-run company come from research analyst and portfolio manager backgrounds. Because of this, they mostly focus on investments and financial planning. Andy's company follows two philosophies: Invest in quality, and know the financial weather.
Invest in Quality: To Andy and his team, good quality means earnings. More specifically, consistent, steady earnings. By determining where the earnings are coming from, one can ensure the growth of their company's earnings, and therefore, their stock price.
Financial Weather: In the past, bear markets would occur approximately every 3 to 4 years. Currently, bear markets occur less frequently; about every 8 to 10 years. Because of this, many have forgotten to update themselves on the financial weather. Awareness of the next bear market allows for retirees and other individuals to prepare their finances for upcoming changes in the market.
When it comes to investing, women and men have different tendencies. According to Andy, in general, men are more confident in investing, while women are more goal oriented and trade less. This is likely due to women having smaller nest eggs since they earn less. Women tend to participate in their employer sponsored retirement plans at a higher percentage, and once they set their allocation, are more likely to pick their target date funds which adjust automatically. This means they won't need to worry about changes in their portfolio as they age.
Women sit behind men when it comes to financial confidence.
Not only is there a wage gap for women and men, there is also a gap in investment rates. In general, women invest less than men. Men invest their money outside the 401k work plan, while women tend to save their money as cash that does not work for them. According to Andy, women who wait to invest their savings lose about $100 a day.
Andy states education and communication are the keys to minimizing the financial gaps between women and men. With more knowledge comes power, and with more power, women would have more confidence in their finances.

Bill Algeo, a Delaware county native, started his martial arts career at the age of 14 when he decided to follow his brother into the wrestling room. He started off with a less than stellar 0-14 record, but quickly realized the value of hard work. Four years later he went on to become All-State and captain of the wrestling team.
He took this same level of commitment to hard work when he started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at 18. At 20 years old he was running a BJJ program at Penn State University where he was going to school full time for his B.A. in accounting. While he was a full time student, he was also a member of the Penn State boxing team, and started his mixed martial arts career. Bill Algeo went on to become an undefeated amateur, until turning pro in 2011. He currently has a mma record of 12-3 and is 2-0 pro muay thai as well. Bill Algeo received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in August of 2015 and received his Black pradjiat in muay thai in 2014.
To spread all the knowledge I have acquired through Martial Arts, to as many people as possible. Martial Arts, in particular Muay Thai, Boxing, and BJJ, have totally changed my life for the better. I want people to be able to protect themselves, but more importantly I want people to better their daily lives through training.

Making Friends With Failure is the Game
My parents had this really incredible approach to our childhood activities, we always had to be in a sport and something artistic. My Ma would drive us all around town to our dance classes, singing lessons, basketball tourney's, bowling leagues and baseball games. I started playing fastball at 4 years old, I have a memory of lining up my bat to the tee and whacking the shit out of that ball and taking off to first base and I was hoooooked.
I played "A" ball with the best clubs in the province, I had the goal of going to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and I was on track. I was doing well at the World Cup juniors, won MVP shortstop at the Canadian Nationals and was hitting grand slams against Team Australia Jr's. I'd taken my SAT's and was starting conversations with Universities in the states for scholarships. I remember looking at the Long Island Uni website and they had written that Jlo sometimes used their track for runs and I was like SEND ME THERE! I had a scout from Princeton chat me up in Denver at a tournament and was like hmm could I be a Princeton Tiger?
But ultimately I did not go to the states and I didn't make it to the Olympics. I had a long conversation with my parents about how I was tired. How my body was literally breaking down, my knees were (and still are) battered, I've broken almost every kind of bone in my body and had a collection of surgeries to prove it. I had been playing ball for over 15 years and at a varsity level it would only get more demanding with 2 a day trainings and conditioning. There is nothing outside the sport at the uni level and I was a woman, there was no MLB, nothing for me to work towards. Females weren't even given the opportunity to coach at that time. The first MLB female GM was literally just hired this year, and I am so fucking proud of Kim Ng.
So I went to UBC to study theatre and I am very happy with that decision and on top of that I'm so grateful for what baseball taught me, continues to teach me. Being given the opportunity to excel at something, put well beyond the 10, 000 hours in (I was hitting 500 balls a day at my peak training), gave me the insight and embodied experience of how to commit, work, and deliver on a process. Even if all I ever got out of it was the work ethic, to deeply learn what's required to excel and perform I would be beyond grateful.
My commitment to baseball is also why I struggle to empathize with people who want to be great but have not put the work in. Rain or shine, I would grab three buckets of balls from the garage, a few of my fave bats, lug my gear outside and start swinging. Hit the ball into the fence, hit the ball off the tee, throw the ball up and hit it, practices swings one handed, switch hit to better understand my swing, slow motion swings, adjusted form swings, visualization swings. I would swing and miss and do it again and hit and I'd do this for hours, over and over and over, constantly adjusting because practice does not make perfect - high level athletes know - perfect practice makes perfect and I was practicing 6 days a week.
Now perfect is almost impossible to sustain, it's why perfect games are so rare, but with regards to hitting, it's an embodied feeling. When you make contact with the ball, the world slows down, you can feel the muscle memory ignite and stage by stage your body aligns to connect and thrust that ball like a bat outta hell onto the field. I knew that feeling so intimately, I could tell a hit before it left my bat, any hitter knows a good connection by the vibrations. That's knowing a thing. So yes, I struggle to accept excuses for not being prepared, trained and ready - I'm working on being less brutal to myself about this. But remember I've 10000 hours plus for baseball slaxts and I didn't do that excusing myself from the work required.
One of the greatest teachings ball gifted me was learning to love pressure. I was a 3/4 hitter in the line up which means I'm positioned for high stress scenarios. There was either 1/2 out and I had to get on to keep the inning going or there were runners on and I had to get them in to score. Striking out was never an option but it happened often because striking out is a big part of the game. Let's say that again, striking out is a big part of the game. And this is a lesson we all need to apply to our work. The Work of unlearning the racist conditionings of the canadian state.
Remember in the movie Arrival, when Louise speaks to the impacts of how we learn a language with a game and it becomes the comparative structure for how we see the world. I've realized I see the world in baseball. I don't think I can get through one zoom consultation without at least one baseball anecdote. From training and work ethic, reflective practice, mind and body conditioning, batting averages, leadership, roles and responsibilities baseball covers it all.
Yesterday I compared canadians white fragility to a baseball player striking out and blaming the baseball. It's nonsensical, egoic and shirks responsibility. High level ball players would take that strikeout, reflect on how to have a more effective outcome next time and say thank you for the feedback. This disappointing reaction by white folks in their unlearning is often self centered and looks like someone throwing a bat and blaming the ball for their strikeout.
There's no logic in that, no accountability, there is a severe lack of ability in that response. I know re-learning something is more difficult than learning something new. Correcting a bad habit is down right fucking frustrating, especially when it's embedded in muscle memory - or societal conditioning.
As a hitter I developed a bad habit of hitching my front leg before the pitch - which undermined the integrity of the swing and it was painstakingly brutal to correct. The mental consciousness it took to "keep the front foot down and wait, keep the front foot down and wait, keep the front foot down and wait" took so so so much deliberate attention, critical reflection and energy. Ultimately I rewrote the muscle memory and re-conditioned myself to a non-weight transfer hitch swing but it took a lot of attention and work.
Socially, the dogmatic conditioning of white supremacy can be like a bad hitch. We do racist chit over and over and then when we get called out for striking out, saying something racist and or ignorant and then we throw a tantrum and blame the system and other people. Yes it's a positioning but the conditioning is something we can and must transform and hold ourselves accountable to. I couldn't stand players blaming the pitch or the bat - the bat didn't striked out you did. Yes canada is racist but that doesn't mean you get to blame canada or "the man" it's you, its us.
In a theatrical sense, actors often get bad habitual ism's. Like exhaling the inspiration breath before they say the line - this one kills me when I see performers do it. I was fortunate to have an acting teacher early on nip this habit - they asked why did you do that? Why did you exhale all that work, energy, drama, conflict, emotion before the line. And I consciously put into my training to never let emotional breath work go underutilized. The complex part is knowing that the bad habitual conditioning can feel "good" while in actuality it's extraordinarily ineffective.
I once directed an actor who was constantly doing the exhale breath before the line but it felt "right" to them but it undermined all their power. It was ultimately such a deep conditioning it was never corrected because re-conditioning takes a lot of conscious work and a commitment to consciously and courageously fail. This failure is the process of transformation, it is scary and not everyone has the endurance and capacity to engage with it and then sustain it, so we just let the old conditioning of the bad hitch and racism go on cause it's easier.
I remember this one player getting into a bad hitting rut, and without conscious attention and training, that rut eventually became her conditioning. Mentally and physically it took her over. She could not hit the ball. She blamed everything and everyone, "my uniform got in the way, I didn't get a proper warm up, the box was too muddy, you didn't tell me blah blah blah" and she totally and completely self-sabotaged and eventually wasn't even rostered. She could not consciously commit to and execute on a re-conditioning process. It was such a twisted experience because striking out got comfortable, she normalized it. She was so afraid to hit the ball she prefered striking out.
You know any of those people in your life?
Baseball taught me failure is a big part of everything, it's how anyone gets good at anything and I wanted to be a great baseball player, and I want to be an effective creator and I know failure is a part of that. It's why I'm on draft 6 of Break. I'm building a compelling story on drafts and drafts of success and failures. Parsing success and failure in process takes detailed attention. And is a muscle to build and you want that creative muscle to be big and strong so we can flex on conjuring like, that line is impactful but the stage direction could be working harder.
The no hitch on the swing was successful but I failed to follow through. When I was hitting I would pay so much attention to the ball I could see not just the spin and rotation of the ball, I could see the red seams. Success is built on failures, and failures are transformed by paying deep attention to the details of why something failed.
I believe the reason I've had success at coaching, directing and leading is because I have trained and continue to build my capacity to pay attention to details and how they intersect with results and impact. Ultimately I can unpack a scene or strikeout without getting butthurt or being a fragile and laborious writer because I know it's a process. I know a good avg is 300. Which means 7 out of 10 times I will strikeout, failure is a part of the game folks and I need to be grateful for the feedback in order to keep my batting avg at around 335 (which was my retirement avg.)
I still want to make my old coaches and teammates proud. I don't ever want to be a player who blames the baseball. I want to be a player (I also love that player works for baseball and theatre) who keeps the teams avg high, loves the pressure, gives high fives and cheers on the success of the team. Whose proactively training to ensure I prepared for all scenarios and would never come close to blaming my strikeout on the uniform or something that embarrassing. This egoic of a response, if repeated becomes the conditioning and fails now not just ourselves but the team/company.
A wondrously complex part of ball is that it's a team sport but it's built on individuals success. Winning or losing becomes a chain reaction of individuals performance. We don't all bat together, it's one pitcher, one ball, one batter and the game is a result of the collection of these isolated moments. The process can be distilled down to a collection of successes and failures and the result, the play/story's impact, is a result of creators having the detailed and rigorous capacity to identify, adjust and transform failures into opportunities to connect - with the ball and the audience.
I'm going to leave you with a great scene from one of my favourite movies, Moneyball. This scene captures the rigour it takes to dissect and examine one's game. I learned the analytical process from ball and apply it to everything. Critical reflection and making accurately informed and detailed decision making is a discipline I work at everyday.
I hope that we can all make better friends with failure, knowing failure does not reflect our worth and ability but is a process that's required for any success to be accomplished.
Here's to striking out 7 outta 10 times and loving it.
For the love of the game and with love to you,
Kim.
p.s big shout out to the Siminovitch finalists. Espesh to the Matriarchs Carmen Aguirre and Tara Beagan! Much love and deep respect to your commitments and contributions to the stories, community and our spirits.
p.p.s Here is a deleted scene from A League of Their Own, that you MUST watch!!
It's of Dottie and Jimmy kissing and I had never seen it before and I love and hate it and really glad they cut it but grateful I just got to watch it!!!!

Nonprofit status is significant step for GNV4ALL
James F. Lawrence
Four years after Gainesville for All was launched to provide a forum for citizens to fight racism and poverty, a giant step was recently taken toward helping to ensure that it will be an independent advocate for social and economic justice in this region for generations to come.
But first, special thanks to those who helped put GNV4ALL on its feet back in the summer of 2016: Local businessman and community activist Mitch Glaeser, the Community Foundation of North Central Florida's Barzella Papa and her staff, and the Gainesville Sun, its executive editor, Doug Ray, and opinion editor Nathan Crabbe.
Without their help and generosity, GNV4ALL would have never gotten off the ground. They embraced an idea for a citizen-based initiative that I'd used in a different format as editorial page editor for the second-largest newspaper in upstate New York in the years leading to my retirement in 2014.
As 2020 winds down, hardly a day goes past that I don't receive emails from community members and students wanting to know how they might volunteer, learn more about our mission or find out the date of our next general meeting. We also receive numerous requests for a GNV4ALL guest speaker or participation in public forums.
As GNV4ALL enters its fifth year, we've won a few battles, but the war wages on. Because that's so, we recognized some time ago the need to assemble the tools GNV4ALL must have to take on such formidable and persistent foes as racism and poverty.
We looked to the Internal Revenue Service. Ordinarily, most people flinch at seeing a letter from the IRS in their mailbox. Not us. At least not this time. We had been waiting several months for notification that our application for nonprofit, 501c3 status had been approved — a critically important instrument in the GNV4ALL toolbox.
It arrived a few weeks ago: permanent 501c3 status, which entitled us to federal tax exemption while donors to our new nonprofit will be allowed to write off tax deductions on their contributions.
Having spent most of my work life in journalism, I'm new to the nonprofit world. But one thing I do know is that 501c3 status is a must in an arena dependent on donor generosity for survival. While GNV4ALL didn't participate in this year's Giving Tuesday, which encourages people worldwide to do good, we want all to know that we're accepting gifts year round to support our advocacy work.
Unquestionably, our biggest project is an early learning center at Metcalfe Elementary School in the Gainesville Empowerment Zone, where we're focused on helping improve the lives of struggling east-side families.
While we've been assured by the school district of space for the first-of-its-kind facility that will provide services ranging from prenatal support and infant care to a world-class curriculum for children up to age 4 as well as wraparound family services, we estimate it will take at least $350,000 a year to operate the school. The bulk of those expenses will have to be covered by private and public donation.
Unsolicited citizens have already started stepping up. Among them is retired University of Florida professor Jack Martin who gifted us with a significant donation this summer.
We're optimistic that there are others in our community who will also recognize the merit of our demonstration project, which we're convinced will help close the huge academic achievement gap between black and white students not only in Alachua County but across Florida and perhaps the nation.

Diageo Scottish union threatens to go on strike in September
FILE PHOTO - A man walks past a building in the Diageo Shieldhall facility near Glasgow, Scotland
(Reuters) - Members of one of Diageo Plc's <DGE.L> biggest Scottish unions are set to go on strike, days after talks over pay raise fell through, threatening the production of some the region's most popular whiskies.
Scotland's Unite union said that 500 workers at Diageo's Cameron Bridge, Leven and Shieldhall sites have voted in support of industrial action, with strikes at the company's distilling and bottling plants now likely to begin in September and go on till November.
Members of the union were balloted for strike action after a 2.8% pay raise offer by Diageo was rejected by the union last month.
"Unite would urge Diageo to get back round the negotiating table with a new offer which fairly rewards its workers who have earned these massive profits for the company," Unite regional industrial officer Bob MacGregor said.
"If they do not, then Diageo's operations will needlessly grind to a halt in the coming weeks."
A Diageo spokeswoman said on Friday, the Johnnie Walker maker had contingency plans in the event of industrial action, but remained committed to seeking a resolution.

Analysis Of ' The Princess And The Frog '
Disney films over their course of existence have hidden double meanings in many of the films they produce. Rather if you are a child or a full pledged adult, people from all different ages can receive a bit of advice when it comes to what Disney films try to convey in their motion pictures. Disney is also to be known for some of their unforgettable whimsical characters and memorable songs in every film. The film released in 2009 "The Princess and The Frog" is no different. Especially when it comes to Mama's Odie's musical number half way through the film. Mama's Odie's song, "Dig a Little Deeper" is full of metaphors, themes and imagery one can deeply analyze.
At the same time we can apply the song, "Dig a Little Deeper," to various characters we have come to learn and explore through the several novels we have covered over the course of the semester. We can also apply it to the distinct issues pertaining to women in the South.
The title of the song itself gives the viewer the overall significant and direct theme of the piece right away. It urges a person to go beyond the surface of a circumstance almost saying as if to go into the root or origin of the matter. To find who a person really is at the core of their being. At the start of the song Mama Odie comes off as a non-judgmental person. "Don 't matter what you look like. Don 't matter what you wear. How many rings you got on your finger. We don 't care." Being in front of her and don referring to her lack of sight,
Analysis Of The Movie ' Princess And The Frog '
The Disney Franchise produced their first African- American princess back in 2009 depicting the classic fairytale story of "Princess and The Frog". During the animation, Tiana is an independent, multifaceted woman who is goal oriented causing her to be faced with problems throughout. However, because the film contained the first African-American princess which shed light on many cultural details surely there are going to be problems associated with various subjects throughout the movie. In the
The Princess And The Frog Film Analysis
In 2009, Disney launched their first black princess ever in the movie "The Princess and the Frog". The black princess, however, spends most of the movie as a frog. She was a poor princess and her mother worked for white people. This enforces the stereotypes that African-Americans are majority poor or part of the lower class. There was also a gender stereotype since the princess was still helpless alone and needed a man to help her launch her dream of opening up a restaurant. "While some critics and

One of Disney's most controversial films 'The Princess and the Frog' was released, with its first ever black princess: but all excitement and happiness was brought to an end when they realised that Disney had not taken the opportunity of having a fairy tale ending with a black prince and princess.

In the late 1800s, Max Planck studied the effects of radiation (electromagnetic waves). In the following years, Albert Einstein extended the work to "quantize" radiation, eventually becoming the quantum energy equation for light and for all frequencies in the electromagnetic spectrum (e.g. radio waves, microwaves, x-rays, etc). The equation, E=hf, is referred to as the Planck relation or the Planck-Einstein relation. The letter h is named after Planck, as Planck's constant. Energy (E) is related to this constant h, and to the frequency (f) of the electromagnetic wave.
In energy wave theory, Planck's relation describes the energy of a transverse wave, emitted or absorbed as an electron transitions energy levels in an atom. When an electron is contained within an atom, destructive wave interference between protons in the nucleus and the electron causes destructive waves, resulting in binding energy. This binding energy becomes the energy of a photon that is released when an electron is captured or moves states in an atom. The electron's vibration causes a transverse wave and the photon's energy is based on the frequency of this vibration.
This energy and its derivation is very similar to Coulomb's law, with the exception that one is measured as energy and one is measured as a force. In an atom, the electron's position is stable in an orbit and it is therefore stored energy. When electrons interact and cause motion, it is measured as a force, as seen in the next page on F=kqq/r2.
Derivation – Classical Constants
The Planck relation can be derived using only Planck constants (classical constants), and the electron's energy at distance (r). The derivation is very similar to the Coulomb's law as they are both related to the electron's energy at distance. Energy is conserved, yet wave formation (geometry) changes, as explained in the geometry of spacetime page. The geometries (α1 and α2) are described in Eq. 1.3.2. When all of the variables in the α2 ratio are the electron's classical radius (re), with the exception of slant length (l), which is πre, it resolves to be the fine structure constant (described in Eq. 1.3.5). Further details can be found in the Geometry of Spacetime paper.
Planck Constant: Solving for the classical constants in Eq. 1.3.11 for Planck constant yields the accurate numerical value and units.
Hydrogen Frequency (Ground State): Solving for Eq. 1.3.12 at the Bohr radius (a0) for a hydrogen atom (no constructive wave interference- Δ=1) yields the correct frequency.
Derivation – Wave Constants
The derivation starts with a difference in longitudinal wave energy from the Energy Wave Equation from the wave constant form, as the particle's vibration creates a secondary, transverse wave. However, it also requires explanation about the derivation of a transverse wave that can be found in the Photons section. Further details can be found, including the reference to Eq. 1.16, in the Key Physics Equations and Experiments paper.
Planck Constant: Solving for the wave constants in Eq. 2.3.9 for Planck constant yields the accurate numerical value and units.
Hydrogen Frequency (Ground State): Solving for Eq. 2.3.4 at the Bohr radius (a0) for a hydrogen atom (amplitude factor is one – δ=1) yields the correct frequency.
Rydberg Unit of Energy: Solving for the energy of a hydrogen atom at the Bohr radius (a0) in Eq. 2.3.6 yields the Rydberg unit of energy.
The equations use wave constants explained here.

How Do You Become Ticklish?
The sensation of being ticklish occurs as a physiological response to unexpected touch when the somatosensory cortex and anterior cingulate cortex in the brain produce two messages via the central nervous system that combine to produce a pleasant sensation, reports Josh Clark for HowStuffWorks. The same nerves that interpret the tickling sensation also report sensations of hot, cold and pain to the brain's neurological pathways.
Clark elaborates that tickling has the potential to go too far; if enough pressure is applied to a person for an extended period of time, the sensation of being tickled can quickly become uncomfortable or even painful.
The brain also uses the ticklish response as a warning or protection mechanism through the use of small hairs on the body, similar to the way cats, dogs and other mammals rely on the use of their whiskers to alert them to unexpected stimulation. This can help alert people to the presence of bugs such as mosquitoes, spiders, ticks, ants and flies that may be crawling over areas of the skin unnoticed.
People commonly laugh as a reaction to being tickled not because they find the act of feeling ticklish funny, but because they are exhibiting a subconscious reaction of submitting to their aggressor's action.

Dutch, Senegal advance; Ecuador eliminated; Qatar winless
AL KHOR, Qatar, Nov 29, (AP): The Netherlands finished off the worst showing by any World Cup host nation by beating Qatar 2-0 on Tuesday. The Dutch advanced to the round of 16 by winning Group A while the Qataris, who were already eliminated, became the first host to lose all three of its group matches at soccer's biggest event. Cody Gakpo put the Netherlands ahead midway through the first half with his third goal in as many matches and Frenkie de Jong doubled the advantage five minutes into the second half.

The Netherlands are three-time runners-up at the World Cup, and also finished third in 2014, while Qatar were making their tournament debut. The Dutch failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup. The Netherlands finished with seven points at the top of the group. Senegal, which beat Ecuador 2-1 in the other group game, advanced in second place with six points. Ecuador were eliminated with four points and Qatar ended with zero. The attendance at Al Bayt Stadium, which also hosted Qatar's loss to Ecuador in the tournament opener, was given as 66,784 – nearly at full capacity.
There were small pockets of orange-clad Netherlands supporters, and Qatar fans behind one of the goals who chanted in unison and jumped up and down. At one point during the second half, Qatar fans held aloft a large Palestinian flag that said "Free Palestine" on it. In the 26th minute, Gakpo took control outside the area, dribbled forward and unleashed a powerful side-footed shot between two defenders that entered inside the right post. Gakpo became the fourth Dutch player to score in three consecutive World Cup games after Johan Neeskens (1974), Dennis Bergkamp (1994) and Wesley Sneijder (2010). He also became only the second player to open the scoring for his team three times in the same group stage after Alessandro Altobelli for Italy in 1986. De Jong's goal came when he sprinted forward uncontested to knock in a rebound from close range following a shot from Memphis Depay. A possible third goal for the Netherlands by Steven Berghuis was waved off following a video review for a handball in the buildup. Berghuis then hit the bar in added time. While the Netherlands dominated the possession and created many more chances, Qatar did push forward on occasion and there was a nervy moment for the Dutch when goalkeeper Andries Noppert had trouble collecting a long-range shot from Ismael Mohamed after Gakpo's goal. Senegal can now put the disappointment of 2018 to rest.
Kalidou Koulibaly led his team into the last 16 of the World Cup by volleying home the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Ecuador, four years after the African champions were eliminated from the group stage because of the amount of yellow cards they received. The Senegal captain's right-footed shot flashed past Ecuador goalkeeper Hernan Galindez in the 70th minute. Koulibaly sprinted toward the corner flag and slid on his knees to celebrate. The result erased lingering memories from four years ago, when Senegal could only draw their last group game in Russia and missed the knockout stage because they had collected more yellow cards than Japan, which advanced instead. In another must-win match in Qatar, Senegal took the lead after a first-half penalty from Ismaila Sarr. Moises Caicedo then scored for Ecuador to make it 1-1 in the 67th. Ecuador would have advanced from Group A with a draw and Senegal would have been eliminated. Senegal last advanced from the group stage at the 2002 World Cup, when the team reached the quarterfinals in their tournament debut and their only other appearance at the event.

My family and I went to Aunt Butchies for a birthday dinner. Everything was absolutely fantastic. We had the meatball, baked clams and the tripe for appetizer. Only 2 people in our party ate tripe but both said it was amazing. Dinner we had a variety of pasta and meat dishes that were all delicious. Dessert was equally delicious and was divided between cheesecake and pastries along with cappuccinos and espressos. Waitress service was above and beyond. Overall we had a wonderful time.
Delicious casual place with on premises bakery - All was delicious and the waitress was the best! Thoroughly enjoyed & will be returning!
Tony has been an excellent server. We enjoy the food and the energy at Aunt Butchies .. Looking forward to visiting the location in Staten Island, as my daughter is a college student there.
Be prepared to wait.... even with reservations! We arrived 10 minutes prior to our reservations and still waited an additional 30 minutes. We waited an additional 10 minutes after the hostess sat a couple that came in after us, however she apologized while recognizing her mistake and stated she got our names mixed up... so that was not fun, however our server was good and the food phenomenal!
Everything was above our expectations. From the bread and oil, to the specialty pasta dish to the specialty chicken dish. Service was great! desert was very good and I enjoyed the cappuccino. I would highly recommend this place, especially for a business or casual lunch.
The food here is excellent, although I wish they had more options with sausage, and also more options with chicken cutlets outside of the chicken parm entree.
Also, I wish they put in appetizer orders ahead of your main order. This way you could have time to enjoy it, before your main entree arrives.
Always enjoy meeting friends for lunch here - mainly because noise level is perfect, and parking is not an issue (evenings and weekends for dinner are another story, so I avoid coming then). Food is always excellent, and I've never had anything less than great service. Tops on my list!
Filet mignon was excellent!! As was the veggies. Mashed potatoes were okay. Wine was excellent ( Merlot), or BYOB, wish they had hard liquor. Didn't have any pastries, but I bought some last time I went, they were delicious!
Quality service with amazing food and menu options!
The service and food are top notch. You will never be disappointed. From the moment you walk in to when you leave and everything in between it is excellent. Highly recommend.
Excellent food, beautiful experience. It was difficult to get a reservation but I finally got one for my husband's birthday. It was terrific and worth the wait. My new favorite restaurant.
Had a reservation, sat 30min last the time.
Definitely would recommend. Dessert menu was incredible. Salmon was very good!
Great salads with add ins. No one rushed our casual lunch. Great dessert choices.
Our server Danielle was amazing. Best server ever. She was very attentive and was always a step ahead of us. The restaurant itself was really loud and my friends and I had a lot of trouble hearing each other. That's not really anyone's I also didn't like how you were pretty much forced to valet as we got there super early and had to drive around until it was time to go in the restaurant. The food was good. Not spectacular but it was enjoyable.
Everything was good. Lots of noise. Good place to celebrate a birthday. Great desserts. Nutella pie was amazing.
We took my friend there for her birthday, there were 8 ppl.
Our waitress took at least a half hour to come over to our table.
The service was not good but the food was.
Great! Even though we were seated 35minutes later than our reservation. The food was fantastic. Jonathan the manager did everything he could to make up for being late. Our server, Gabrielle, was phenomenal and was the icing on the cake. Will DEFINITELY go back.
Extremely noisy. Was unable to hear my date. Also we waiting an hour and change for our food. I just ordered a pizza. It shouldn't take that long. Very disappointed.
Rigatoni Auntie butchies was excellent so stay with pastas.
First time to this restaurant. The food was amazing, but the service was TERRIBLE. Once we were seated, it took 20 minutes for the waitress to come over and bring us water. She quickly ran away once again, and it was another 10 minutes before we were able to catch her again to put in our order. The appetizers and bread all came out at the same time. Another half hour went by after the appetizers were cleaned from our table before the dinner meal came. At that point, we were no longer hungry. Once the dinner came, we didn't see anyone again for 20 minutes before the waitress came by and asked us how everything was. By that point, my need for pepper and cheese had past as my food was now cold. We waited for another 20 minutes for someone to come by after we were done eating to package up our food. It should also be noted that the restaurant was only half full - we went at 3pm on a Sunday.
Best meatball I ever had and the desserts oh my gosh, so delicious.
Middle of the week and much too noisy. Staff was attentive. Food good but not outstanding. Bread was yummy.
We really enjoyed our dinner very much. We loved the pasta ( crumbled sausage and broccoli rabe) so flavorful as appetizer and the spedieni with capers and white wine was excellent . They do half portions of pasta which is great. The entrees were excellent as well. We did take out for the dessert from the amazing bakery! I highly suggest you try Aunt Butchie's ! We will be back real soon!!
Food was ok served appetizer and dinner in 30 minutes. Way to quick. Had to ask for bread. Pasta was good pizza was not.

How to Take Advantage of SEO for Your Business?
The higher your website ranks on search engines, the more people will visit it. How to get your website to the top of the ranking then? Read on for the basics of SEO and how your business can benefit from it.
When you need to look up something online, chances are, you would type in a keyword or several keywords in major search engines like Google, Bing, or Yahoo!. You would then find yourself on a result page containing a lot of display links to websites that are considered to be authoritative (credible) and relevant to the keywords that you search for.
Search Engine Optimization, often referred to as SEO, is the process by which one tries to improve a particular web page's rankings in search engine results page. And one way to do this is by increasing your website's authoritativeness and relevancy to the keywords you want to rank for.
What Determines a Website's Authority and Relevancy?
When it comes to being authoritative, major search engines normally measure it according to the quality and number of links to a particular website that come from other pages on the Internet. Simply put, a web page that has many other web pages linking back to it has a great potential for ranking well in search engine results for certain keywords.
What encourages other web pages to link to others is the quality of content. This shows the major search engines that a particular webpage is both authoritative and relevant or interesting. In turn, this may significantly improve a web page's search engine rankings because search engines want to give its users the best web pages in relation to specific keywords entered.
Given that search engines rank web pages that they deem to be most authoritative and relevant, you'll need to make your web pages meet those criteria. So how can you do that?
How to Make Your Website Authoritative and Relevant for SEO Purpose?
You can do this primarily by producing content that many people will find interesting and useful. When you populate your web pages with interesting and useful content, the chances of them sharing your content—and increasing the number of quality links to your web page—becomes significantly higher. When this happens, search engines will eventually notice the increasing number of such links, which they will interpret as an increasing sense of authoritativeness. As a result, your business will be ranked higher by search engines.
You might include a lot of information about the products or services you are offering to your customers to boost your site's authority and relevancy. But sometimes, you do not want to put everything in your main website as too much details will clutter the pages and turn off potential customers. Then how?
What's The Best Thing I Could Do to Improve My Rankings?
One answer is to start a blog so you can add more contents about your business without being restricted on your website structure. Just don't expect to see instant improvements; it takes time for search engine robots to pick up your new contents and re-rank your website. That's why the sooner you start with Search Engine Optimization, the better it will be for your business' visibility, traffic, and bottom line.

Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale nearing return from rib injury
chris sel It will at least make the start of another secondary rehabilitation in the league before Boston Red Sox Determine if the ace is ready to join the rotation after being disqualified all season due to a rib injury.
The seven-time All-Star is on the cusp of a comeback, head coach Alex Cora said Friday.
Selling seven hit more than four innings for Double-A Portland on Thursday. Cora said his mechanics were sound on his third rehab trip, and he felt "physically great." The 33-year-old left-hander is scheduled to play the Triple-Worcester game on Wednesday.
"We'll see," Cora said. "It's getting close. We'll talk about it and go from there."
The sale, signed through 2024 to a five-year deal worth $145 million, broke his rib cage in spring training. He is 114-74 with 3.03 ERA and 2,059 hits in 321 major league games. He has thrown 42 2/3 runs for the Red Sox since the end of the 2019 season.
Sale went 5-1 with a 3.16 ERA in nine starts on his return from Tommy John's surgery last year. Missed the 2020 season.
The Red Sox tied for second place in the Middle East with the Toronto Blue Jays at 43-33 and entered Friday's game against the Chicago Cubs. They went 20-6 for their highest winning total in June since a 20-9 bid in 1990.
Boston closed the month by dropping two of Toronto's three. The outside team did not accompany Garen Doran and his closest relative, Tanner Hook, because they had not been vaccinated against COVID-19.
Doran said that turning away from his teammates convinced him to reconsider his position. He pledged to be available when Boston returns to Toronto in late September. Hawke didn't say if it would be.
"I just miss the boys and I miss playing baseball," Doran said. "It's kind of a deciding factor."
