FAU Football vs Old Dominion Monarchs, November 29, 2014 @ 12:00 Noon, Boca Raton, FL (FAU Loss 31:28)
Florida Atlantic University was not able to close out against Old Dominion University losing on a last second field goal. The Owls' (3-9, 2-6 in Conference USA) senior wide receiver Lucky Whitehead propelled them to another fast start, scoring on a 78-yard punt return in the first quarter against Old Dominion (6-6, 4-5 in Conference-USA).vIn the second quarter, the speedy senior wide receiver scored the first punt return touchdown for FAU since their 2001 inaugural Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) season. Whitehead is part of a nineteen-member senior class that head coach Charlie Partridge apologized to after the game. "I wanted to get more wins for them," said Partridge. "I'm proud of the ones who stuck it out." "I enjoyed every minute," said Whitehead, whose college career has come to an end. "I don't regret anything."
The Owls came out committed to running against the Monarchs 110th ranked rushing defense. FAU rushed for 153 yards in the first half, and attempted just ten passes. Junior quarterback Jaquez Johnson led the team with 65 rushing yards at the half. Johnson scored the game tying touchdown in the fourth quarter to bring the Owls back from a 21-28 deficit; Johnson amassed 133 passing yards on the day. The Owls defensive line forced the Monarchs offensive line into numerous penalties. ODU committed three holding penalties, and eight on the day. Junior defensive tackle Trevon Coley and defensive end Derek Butcher both recorded a sack for the game. The game was tied at 21 after two quarters of play. The Owls defense was gashed on the ground. Monarch freshman running back Ray Lawry rushed for 213 yards for the day.
ODU as a team gained 488 net yards for the game. With the score tied at 28, the Owls committed a costly roughing the passer penalty with just over a minute left in the game. The penalty gave the Monarchs a first down, instead of what would have been a turnover on downs. This led to a 27-yard field goal by junior kicker Satchel Ziffer giving the Monarch's a 31-28 win as time expired. "It hurts," said junior defensive tackle Trevon Coley of failing to bring the senior class a win. "It sucks real bad that they couldn't win their final game." Though the season did not go the way he would have hoped, Partridge does think that the seeds of development are there. "We're disappointed with the record," he said. "The good thing is, we know where we're headed." (University Press story)

Netflix clarifies API and terms changes, will continue to allow developers to charge for apps
by Matthew Panzarino — in Media
There has been some negative buzz around the recent changes made to the Netflix API and its terms of service, largely made popular by a post on Goodfil.ms (now updated). The issues surround a couple of changes that appear to limit the ability of third-party developers to make money on apps that use the API and limit their access to some Netflix data like rental history.
Rather than jump on the bandwagon we took some time to look into the issue and, as happens in many of these cases, there is more smoke here than actual fire.
Netflix released this statement to The Next Web about the API and the information that it supplies:
Over the past years the Netflix business has evolved to focus on delivering a great streaming experience on a wide variety of consumer electronics devices. Similarly, we have been evolving our API program to focus on servicing the rapidly growing universe of these devices used by our more than 26 million streaming members globally. As the API program evolves with the business, we now need to make some changes. While we will continue to support third parties as they develop and offer Web sites and applications that interact with Netflix, these changes are designed to do so in a way that is aligned with our broader objectives.
Basically, the Netflix API has been being used by a bunch of third-party developers to build apps that make recommendations and adding to your queue easy on mobile devices and the web. As far as we can tell in speaking to developers that have used the API and continue to use it, the changes outlined in the Netflix blog post will not affect them much, if at all.
The biggest alteration to the API is that Netflix will remove the access that apps and developers have to the rental and instant-watch history of its users. This was already limited to specific consent by users who had to log in to allow access, but will not be a part of the information available in the API at all as of September 15th. Users will still have access to their own history on Netflix.com. This should allow them to export their data on a personal basis.
The video streaming landscape is far more packed with competitors, like Amazon and others, these days and Netflix is out to protect data that it feels is proprietary. It's as simple as that. If the service provides this data in ways that could theoretically be used by its competitors, it's simply not practicing good competitive strategy.
The terms of service also appear to allude to the fact that developers will not be able to charge for their apps, stating:
In addition to the other restrictions contained in these Terms, you agree that when using the API, you will not do the following, attempt to do the following, or permit your end users or other third parties to do the following:
charge, directly or indirectly, any fee (including any unique, specific, or premium charges) for access to the Content or your integration of the APIs in your Application, or use the APIs to build an enterprise application (e.g., that you distribute to other companies);
The key here is 'enterprise application', not 'consumer application'. This is a matter of Netflix angling to prevent other companies from using its database to sell their own product. Or, for that matter, using it as a way to generate competitive reports and intelligence that can be used against Netflix. It's not about the hundreds of developers making cool web tools or native mobile apps with the Netflix API.
I quizzed Netflix' Director of Corporate Communications Joris Evers about the changes to the Netflix terms of service and he provided us with two salient points:
We are not prohibiting sites from showing competing services, however we do not want anyone to use Netflix content such as titles and descriptions to advertise a competing service.
We're not prohibiting developers from monetizing their applications by selling them directly to consumers. We will not, however, permit resale of our information in a business-to-business fashion.
Evers says that Netflix will take a look at the terms to clarify them in the future. Note that an app that solely uses Netflix data to sell DVDs on Amazon, or allow people to watch it instantly in other places, is likely to be in trouble under the new terms.
So, in the end, developers will still be able to make money on their apps that use Netflix, either directly or indirectly through ads. It's the business-to-business aspects of scraping the Netflix database and shipping that out to other competitors that its trying to curtail here. Losing functionality on an API is never a reason to celebrate, but it doesn't seem to be as big of a deal here as it may have looked initially.

HomeNewsBlast from the past: visiting Lisbon's revolution sites from 1385 to 1974
Blast from the past: visiting Lisbon's revolution sites from 1385 to 1974
For the anniversary of the revolution of 25 April 1974, the Museum of Lisbon – Teatro Romano – offered a free guided visit through the city's most important revolution sites from 1385, to 1974.
By Kimberley Lestieux, in News, Central, Lisbon · 30 Apr 2021, 01:00 · 1 Comments
Throughout Portugal's history, Lisbon has been the centre stage of many coups, insurrections, and rebellions, which forever changed the whole country. So what better day than the anniversary of the revolution to travel back in time to Lisbon's most iconic revolution sites and discover how Portuguese lives were changed for the better?
On a cloudy but warm Sunday morning, an intimate group of eight people met in the Teatro Romano museum at the top of a hill in the Alfama district with a view of the Tagus river, waiting for the cultural mediator to show us all the history the city has to offer. We meet Paulo Cuiça, a cultural mediator since 2014, 'specialised in Lisbon history'. He starts off by bringing us just down the road from the museum, near the Centro de Estudios Judicarios, established in 1979.
This historic building has had many names: Paço de-a-par-de São Martinho, Paços de Infante Duarte (meaning Palace of the Heir to the Throne), and Paço do Limoeiro in reference to a lemon tree that used to be on the premises. Kings have stayed there, as well as their children and nuns. But most interestingly, the building was a former prison (found below the building), and a courthouse (on the upper floors). It served as the City Prison (Cadeia da Cidade) and the Prison of the Realm (Cadeia da Corte). The earthquake of 1755 severely damaged the Limoeira, causing the collapse of the City prison and part of the Prison of the Realm. Some reports claimed all the prisoners had escaped. Criticism against the prison and its living conditions continued to grow in the 19th and 20th century. In July following the revolution of 1974, inmates were transferred elsewhere, marking the end of the Limoeiro prison.
We make our way further down into the city, learning more about other monuments like the Cathedral of Lisbon (or Sé de Lisboa) and the Saint Anthony church, until we arrive to our next stop: Praça do Comercio. It is not only one of the most beautiful squares in Lisbon, but also where we learn the juiciest historical anecdotes. On 1 February 1908, the Portuguese royal family were crossing the square in their open carriage when two assassins, Alfredo Luis da Costa and Manuel Buiça, opened fire on the carriage, instantly killing King Carlos I and his son Prince Luis Felipe. This event marked the end of the monarchy and established Portugal's first republic. Today, if you look closely, you'll find a discreet plaque in the square, that marks the spot where the king and prince were killed.
The Carnation Revolution in Portugal (25 April 1974)
Learning about the past, "in order to build the future"
While we made our way to our last stop, I spoke with Peter Coville, a British tour guide for Lisbon Lives, who came with his five-year-old son. He took this public guided visit in order to "learn more" about "a very important day" for the country. He wanted to learn about "the little details", he could share with his clients during his own tours, as well as with his son, "but in more simpler terms he can understand".
Luckily in Praça Dom Pedro IV, there are lots of little details to learn. Paulo Cuiça tells us about Dom Pedro himself, known as 'the Liberator' or the 'Soldier King'. When the country was invaded by French troops in 1807, he and his family fled to Portugal's largest and wealthiest colony, Brazil. His father having returned to Portugal after the outbreak of the Liberal Revolution of 1820, left Dom Pedro to rule Brazil as regent. This led him to declare Brazil's independence from Portugal on 7 September 1822 and on 12 October, he was acclaimed Brazilian emperor.
Just above us, is the Carmo Convent, which during the Carnation Revolution was encircled by military rebels who opposed the Estado Novo regime. The regime's last president, Marcelo Caetano was holed-up in the building, eventually surrendering to the future democratic president Antonio de Spinola. Our cultural mediator Paulo Cuiça, trying to talk louder than all the cars, busses and people that pass by the busy square, tells us that this revolution also greatly advanced women's rights. For example, until 1969, Portuguese women could not travel abroad without authorisation from her husband or father.
Despite us all wanting to talk more about these fascinating facts, we realise that the tour should have ended almost an hour ago. We were so caught up in the city's history, that time just flew by and we found ourselves back in present-day Lisbon. When crossing the Dom Pedro square, after parting ways with the others from the group, it just hit me then that every street we walk on and every square we rush past to get to the subway station, tells the story of people who fought to make the country a better place.

The Brazil playmaker expressed his admiration for the Portuguese coach, who left Inter Milan to join the Spanish side last month, and said he is thrilled to be joining forces with him in Madrid.
"I really want to work with him," said Kaka, who is training in South Africa with the Brazil squad. "He has won everything with the teams he has coached so far and I'm very happy that now he is with Real Madrid."
Mourinho agreed a four-year deal with Real Madrid after leading Inter Milan to titles in the Champions League, the Italian league and the Italian Cup this year, establishing himself as one of the most successful coaches in the world. He is only the third coach to win the European Cup with two teams after securing the trophy with Porto in 2004.
"I'll be hoping that he does the best he can and that I win many titles with him at Real Madrid too," Kaka said.
Kaka also said he would be happy if Mourinho brought Inter Milan right back Maicon, his Brazil teammate, with him to Madrid. Recent reports have suggested Maicon may be moving to the Spanish club.

"He has played well with Inter and is one of the great players in the world," Kaka said. "Whichever team ends up with Maicon will be well-served."
The 28-year-old Kaka also said he has already agreed to exchange jerseys with Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo when Brazil plays Portugal at the World Cup on June 25 in Durban. It will be the teams' third match in Group G, which also has North Korea and the Ivory Coast.
"We didn't bet anything, just that we will exchange jerseys," Kaka said. "We have a good friendship and a lot of respect for each other."
The playmaker sees Spain as one of their biggest rivals as Brazil look to win their sixth World Cup.
"The Spanish team arrives as a favourite," Kaka said. "They have been playing well recently. They arrive as a favourite because of how they play as a group and because of their individual players."
Brazil could face Spain as early as the second round.
"It's a strong team," Kaka said. "It's a dangerous team."
Kaka arrived in South Africa after a season filled marred by injuries but said he will be ready for Brazil's opener against North Korea on June 15. He is being treated for a left thigh muscle injury but has been training normally and played 45 minutes in Brazil's 3-0 win over Zimbabwe on Wednesday in Harare.
He is expected to play again in Brazil's last warmup against Tanzania on Monday in Dar es Salaam.

Pakistan's Musharraf In Court For Treason Hearing
Former President Pervez Musharraf.
Pakistan's former military ruler, Pervez Musharraf, has arrived in court for the first time to face treason charges.
The special tribunal is expected on February 18 to indict him for abrogating the constitution and enforcing a state of emergency in 2007 while he was president.
The charges could carry the death penalty.
Musharraf has denounced the case as political score-settling by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, whom he ousted in 1999.
No formal military ruler has appeared in a civilian court before in Pakistan, which has been governed for more than half its history by the military.
Musharraf was first ordered to appear in court on December 24, but has missed repeated hearings due to bomb scares and health complaints.
Musharraf also faces a number of other charges dating back to his 1999-2008 rule.

Siasat.com/News/Middle East/Iran seals businesses of football star Ali Daei for supporting anti-hijab protests
Iran seals businesses of football star Ali Daei for supporting anti-hijab protests
The orders were issued to seal the Daei's jewellery store and restaurant, located in one of the high-end areas of Tehran.
Sakina Fatima| Published: 8th December 2022 3:32 pm IST
Ali Daei
Tehran: Iranian judiciary has sealed the businesses of football player Ali Daei for supporting the ongoing protests in the country, since the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody.
The orders were issued to seal the Daei's jewellery store and restaurant, located in one of the high-end areas of Tehran.
The ISNA news agency stated that "after cooperating with anti-revolutionary groups in cyberspace to obstruct peace and business of the market, a court order was issued to seal the Noor Jewelry Showroom."
Iranian football star Ali Daei refuses to attend World Cup amid ongoing protests
It added that an order had been issued to close a restaurant linked to Daei, without providing further details.
On November 28, Daei announced on his Instagram account that he and his family had been subjected to countless threats.
A post shared by Ali Daei (@alidaei)
Daei's passport was confiscated upon his return to Iran during the early stages of the protests, but it was subsequently returned to him.
He had also previously refused the official invitation of FIFA and the Qatar Football Association to attend the World Cup with his wife and daughters because of the current situation in Iran and the suppression of protests.
He said at that time, "I prefer to be by your side in my country, and express my sympathy with all the families who have lost their loved ones these days."
Iranian state media, activists deny abolition of morality police
Daei was the top scorer in the history of international football, with 109 international goals, until September 2022, when Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo broke this record.
Daei played in the Iranian team when his country achieved a historic victory in the World Cup over the United States in 1998, with a score of 2-1.
22-year-old Mahsa Amini, died on September 16 while in the custody of the morality police, accused of violating the strict dress code imposed on women in the Islamic Republic.
The protests have been going on for about three months, despite Tehran 's announcement to disband the morality police. Hundreds of deaths were recorded, while thousands of arrests were carried out, including football players and other celebrities.

Falls are a major concern for older adults. A fall can cause serious injuries requiring costly medical treatment. They can impact a person's quality of life and sometimes, they are even fatal. While falls can be common among older adults - one in three older adults falls each year - they are also largely preventable! By learning to identify and correct the factors that put you at risk for a fall, you can take control to reduce the fear of falling and greatly reduce your chances of experiencing a fall.
SMAA collaborates with a wide array of community partners to offer periodic balance and strength screenings to help older adults identify issues that increase their risk for fall. Activities include physical balance tests, sitting and standing blood pressure readings, and pharmacy consultations to review medications.
Balance and strength screenings are held in community settings periodically during the year. We do not provide in-home falls risk screenings.
A Matter of Balance is a nationally recognized program designed to reduce the fear of falling and encourage physical activity. The workshop is conducted over eight sessions, meeting weekly or twice weekly for two hours per session. Meetings are led by trained volunteer leaders.
Does it work? A Matter of Balance is an award-winning, evidence-based falls intervention. Participants report more control over factors that could cause them to fall, increased exercise and activity levels, and fewer falls. Participants feel more comfortable talking about the fear of falling and plan to continue exercising. 98% of participants would recommend A Matter of Balance to their friends and loved ones.

Homes Raided in Xinjiang
Chinese authorities in Gulja, which saw an armed crackdown on protests in 1997, are raiding homes in a security campaign they say is aimed at the country's huge migrant population but which activists abroad say targets minority Muslim Uyghurs.
URUMQI, China: Paramilitary and police man their posts in front of a propaganda billboard during Olympic Torch Relay festivities in the capital of China's Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, June 17, 2008.

WASHINGTON—Authorities in the northwestern Chinese region of Xinjiang have launched a house-to-house search campaign in a Uyghur city known as a traditional center of opposition to Beijing's rule.
"The campaign started a few weeks ago," an officer at a police station near Gulja city [in Chinese, Yining] said. "In the past two weeks we've searched only once. It isn't scheduled, but the searching occurs at random times. Sometimes the searches take awhile," he said.
He denied that the campaign was aimed specifically at the Muslim ethnic minority Uyghur people, among whom opposition to China's rule is widespread.
"The campaign isn't targeted at specific people," he said. "It is targeted only at specific areas," said the officer, who is based in the village of Toghrak [in Chinese, Tuogelake], near Gulja city.
I can't provide information on this campaign to the outside world. The local media haven't reported this campaign yet. So I can't reveal any more information."
He said the aim of the campaign was to discover people who have been engaged in illegal activities and to crack down on people without household registration papers or a national identity card, or those with no clear account of themselves.
He declined to give details of how many people had been detained in the raids, and on what charges.
'No legal process'
"I can't provide information on this campaign to the outside world. The local media haven't reported this campaign yet. So I can't reveal any more information," he said.
The Germany-based exile group, the World Uyghur Congress, said a total of 279 households were raided in and around Gulja, affecting a total of 1,253 local residents.
"Recently the Chinese Public Security Bureau have been bursting in on the homes of more than 1,000 Uyghur people without any prior warning or any legal process and searching them," spokesman Dilxat Raxit said.
"At the same time, anyone who refuses to have their homes searched gets beaten up by the police. More than 30 people have been detained so far."
He said Uyghurs whose homes had been raided had reported that their copies of the Quran had been confiscated by police.
"Once they get inside the Uyghur people's homes, they are confiscating their copies of the Quran," he said. "This campaign is being expanded at the moment to county towns. On the eve of the Olympic Games, Uyghur people can't even feel safe inside their own homes when they have shut the door."
'Clean-up' operation
An officer who answered the phone at the Uchderwaza police station in a predominantly Uyghur neighborhood of downtown Gulja confirmed a large-scale "clean-up" operation was under way in the area.
"Yes," the officer said. "It's not just in Gulja. It's the same across the country...The main targets are transient sectors of the population."
Asked if the homes of Uyghurs had been searched, he said the operation wasn't targeted at any ethnic group, but instead at China's huge floating population of temporary migrant workers.
"Here in Gulja, we need to gather more intelligence about temporary residents," he said, adding that people would normally be detained only if they "resisted" the police operation.
"There are many who we just penalize on the spot, but some have been taken in under administrative detention too. Typically those are the people who try to hinder our attempts to carry out our job," the officer said.
Dilxat Raxit said all the Uyghurs in the Gulja area were permanent residents with their papers in order, and that there weren't any people among them with none of the three officially recognized forms of identification.
Social stability
"Uyghur people keep themselves to themselves and don't travel much. Of course they are denying it. The reason is simple...China is hijacking the Olympics as an excuse to launch another fear campaign among Uyghurs and it is trying to avoid the concern of the international community about the Uyghurs," he said.
Local media reported recently that Communist Party leaders of the Ili autonomous district held a meeting on public security recently, ordering a crackdown on anyone without one of the three widely accepted forms of identification specified by the Toghrak police officer.
Xinjiang Peace News, a government-sponsored Web site, reported on a recent social stability campaign in Mongolkure [in Chinese, Zhaosu] county, also in Ili.
Security measures were to include stopping petitioners from going public with their complaints, forbidding public meetings, and stepping up intelligence gathering with the cultivation of more informants in local communities, the report said.
Closer attention was to be paid to "religious people, strangers without backgrounds, and former prisoners," while a close eye was to be kept on local mosques, whose imams were to be "re-educated," it added. County law enforcement officials had also called for more trials and more arrests.
A police officer who answered the phone at the Mongolkure public security bureau didn't deny the existence of the campaign but declined to provide details.
"The reason is very simple. It's because this is a matter of national security," he said. "I can't tell you anything."
U.S.-based Uyghur activists also called for international intervention to stop the campaign, which they said targets their ethnic minority.
American Uyghur Association general secretary Alim Seytoff said prominent Uyghur businesswoman and dissident in exile Rebiya Kadeer had called on the U.S. Congress to intervene.
"Rebiya Kadeer hopes the United States will send a delegation to the Uyghur region to stop this campaign," he said.
Many Uyghurs, who twice enjoyed short-lived independence as the state of East Turkestan during the 1930s and 40s, are bitterly opposed to Beijing's rule in Xinjiang. Beijing blames Uyghur separatists for sporadic bombings and other violence in the Xinjiang region. But diplomats and foreign experts are skeptical. International rights groups have accused Beijing of using the U.S. "war on terror" to crack down on non-violent supporters of Uyghur independence.
Overseas rights groups say untold numbers of people were killed in the Gulja unrest of February 1997, in a crackdown that went largely unnoticed by the outside world.

Not all fibre is created equal!
Fibre has been linked with reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and certain types of cancer. Although the term "fibre" has been used widely by medical and nutrition experts, what does it really mean when you are told to "increase your fibre intake?" Is simply eating more fibre enough to maximize the health benefits?
consists of naturally occurring plant materials that your body cannot digest. Examples include fibre naturally found in whole grain breads and cereals, beans, lentils, fruits and vegetables.
consists of manufactured or synthetic plant and animal materials that your body cannot digest. These fibres have health benefits, such as bowel regularity, and control of blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels. These fibres can be found on their own or added to foods. Examples include oat B-glucan, psyllium and inulin.
is the sum of dietary fibre and functional fibre.
Dietary vs. Functional Fibre, What's the Difference?
Most of us are familiar with the term dietary fibre. This is the fibre we eat that occurs naturally in foods. However, you may be wondering why we need a definition for functional fibre. Due to the advances in food processing and technology, we now have the ability to design, isolate and concentrate different fibres and fibre-like substances that do not meet the traditional definition of fibre. More importantly, these substances may also have specific health benefits. So don't be surprised if you see recommendations for specific functional fibres in the future.
Soluble vs. Insoluble fibre? Viscous vs. Fermentable? I think I need a dictionary.
Both dietary and functional fibre can be further divided into those that are soluble and those that are insoluble. However, experts continue to debate over the use of these terms because they may not be the best way to describe the different types of fibre and their health benefits. Experts are now proposing that these terms be replaced with "viscosity" and "fermentality".
Soluble fibres are found in foods such as oat bran, psyllium, legumes, vegetables (e.g. okra and eggplant), barley and certain types of fruits. These fibres are known to reduce blood cholesterol levels and control blood sugar levels. Do you notice how oats and barley form a "sticky and gummy" texture when they are cooked? This "stickiness" is referred to as viscosity and experts believe this is what gives these fibres a "two thumbs up"! Fermentability refers to the digestion of soluble fibre by "friendly" bacteria in our intestines which is also important for promoting health. However, not all soluble fibres are viscous and fermentable, so buyer beware!
Insoluble fibres, such as those found in wheat bran, corn bran, flax seeds, and some vegetables and fruit (especially the skins), passes through your digestive system largely unchanged. This is what is often referred to as roughage and bulk. These fibres are generally not viscous or fermentable, but they serve an important role in promoting bowel regularity. Just make sure you drink enough water with this fibre so that it will work well!


College football is scoring major success – find out how.
On 3 April a team from Edinburgh College will meet a team from the University of Edinburgh for the first time in the 98-year history of the Queen's Park Shield, one of the most prestigious trophies in student sport. Originally contested by teams from Scotland's four ancient universities, the Queen's Park Shield is now open to every university and college in Scotland. This year's final marks an important step in a bid by Scottish Student Sport (SSS) to create greater equality of sporting opportunity between colleges and universities. The Scottish Funding Council (SFC), which funds the work of Scottish Student Sport, wants to make the very most of the benefits student sport has to individuals, institutions and to further and higher education in Scotland.
The benefits of student participation in sport include helping retention rates, improved mental health, and promoting diversity. The Queen's Park Shield final is an Edinburgh derby between the University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College. Whatever the result on 3 April, student sport will be the winner.
The match is to be played on 3 April at Spartans FC in north Edinburgh with a 3pm kick-off and will be preceded by the Women's Cup Final between the Universities of Edinburgh and Stirling (12.30 k/o). All supporters are welcome and admission is free.
Meanwhile, two college students have been selected for the Women's national football squad for Scottish Student Sport. College players tend to be heavily outnumbered by their university counterparts in the 23-strong training squad, so this is a real achievement for both students – Erin Wilson from New College Lanarkshire and Erin Ross from Dundee and Angus College.
Erin Wilson, who studies HND Coaching and Developing Sport at New College Lanarkshire; and Erin Ross, who studies HNC Fitness, Health & Exercise at Dundee and Angus College will be in contention for a place in a friendly match against Partick Thistle at Peffermill playing fields in Edinburgh today, 22 March. The top 18 players from the training squad will then go on to compete in the Home Nations Competition in Wales on 16 and 17 April.
There are currently around 600 student sports clubs in Scotland involving over 35,000 student members. Scottish Student Sport is encouraging the sharing of amenities so that more college and university students share their sporting experiences.
Good luck to the two Erins!

Śmierć

Został zastrzelony przez Berthę Franklin, recepcjonistkę motelu, w którym nocował. Na wpół nagi piosenkarz zażądał ujawnienia personaliów kobiety, z którą zameldował się w motelu, a która uciekła z jego ubraniem. Kiedy odmówiono ujawnienia tych danych, wściekły chwycił i przewrócił recepcjonistkę, która jednak wyrwała się i w samoobronie go zastrzeliła. Według wersji uciekinierki próbował ją zgwałcić i uciekając w popłochu zabrała omyłkowo także jego ubranie, jednak niespójności w jej zeznaniach sugerują, że być może świadomie poszła z nim do pokoju, a potem go okradła kiedy wyszedł do toalety. Recepcjonistka została uniewinniona, jako działająca w warunkach obrony koniecznej. Musiała potem ukrywać się przed grożącymi jej śmiercią fanami piosenkarza, w końcu wywalczyła 30000 dolarów rekompensaty od jego rodziny za napaść i straty moralne.

Ok so I finally found a company that I would like to send a demo of one of my songs to and it's called Kryptofabbrikk Records, but I know it would be a huge step for a music career, and they appear to be legitimate but I'm not so sure if I should try to send in a demo because I'm not sure what they would think of my sound honestly. If anyone has an opinion on this subject I would honestly highly appreciate anything at this moment lol. Thanks again Everyone!
Send it, if they like it, cool, if they don't, move on.
It is always better to try to do everything ... than to regret later.

Home › Stories and Staff › What Inclusion Looks Like.
If you haven't heard, Orangetheory Fitness is the newest chic fitness boutique to top the popularity charts. So what makes them different? Orangetheory is a full body one hour workout that uses heart rate-based interval training to burn calories more effectively. Members' heart rates are monitored and displayed on large screens throughout the studio; making it easier to work out within individual heart rate zones.
Orangetheory Fitness Cambridge opened their doors last July. Manager, Alisha Bard, used the business model of their Guelph location as a guide, where being a part of the community is important to franchise owners. Orangetheory Fitness Guelph worked with Community Living Guelph Wellington to hire a woman with a developmental disability; a partnership that has been a huge success. The Guelph staff highly recommended hiring through Community Living so they contacted the Community Living Cambridge Supported Employment team, and Rachel Bast was asked to come in for an interview.
Rachel had a good feeling about working for Orangetheory Fitness from the first time she walked through the door. She was thrilled when she heard she got the job and has been happily working here since September. The staff have creatively given Rachel the title, 'maintenance engineer.' She cleans the studio, equipment, and bathrooms. Rachel says, "It's a positive atmosphere and everyone treats me well." She admits she prefers a quieter atmosphere and she feels she works better that way. They have modified her work hours so she comes in between classes when the place is quiet, which is where Rachel feels she works best.
When Ally Steeves, Sales Associate at Orangetheory, learned that Rachel's dream was to ride in a limo for her 50th birthday, but it had never happened; she wanted to make it a reality for Rachel. Even though her birthday had already passed, Ally mentioned her idea to her coworkers and they were all hands on deck to help make this a dream come true for Rachel. To Rachel's surprise, for their staff Christmas dinner, she was picked up by a limousine, and driven with her coworkers to Waterloo for a fancy dinner. The staff were then taken bowling for more laughter and a night many will never forget.
This is as beautiful picture of what true inclusion looks like. Rachel has a job, where she earns a fair wage in a competitive market for the work she was hired to do. With a few minor modifications to suit when Rachel can perform her best, Rachel has become a successful employee in an inclusive workplace.
Not only does Orangetheory promote diversity in employment but they also believe and practise local philanthropy. For Race to Erase last September, (where teams compete in challenges throughout the community to support local charities) Orangetheory entered a team to participate with CLC as their designated charity to receive the funds. Thank you Orangetheory Fitness Cambridge for your commitment to the needs in our community!

Q: Undefined reference to "Str::ToInt(unsigned char*)" I added a new function into my library, and while compiling Gcc refuse to recognize it.
Every function works without problem, and this is the only one that give problem.

When I call Str::ToInt in the main I get that error.
I'm working on Codeblocks 12.11 and Windows 8

A: You declared Str::ToInt() as a member of the namespace Str but you defined a function outside of any namespace with the same name ToInt(). You need to, at least, Str:: in front of the definition:
int Str::ToInt(unsigned char* Source) { ... }

New NASA Mission Will Help Unlock The Secrets Of Extreme Cosmic Objects
By CBSMiami.com Team December 8, 2021 at 2:50 pm
Filed Under:Florida News, IXPE, Local TV, NASA, Space
MIAMI (CBSMiami) — Space is filled with interesting phenomena we don't fully understand, but NASA is launching a mission early Thursday morning that hopes to make a dent in that by studying some of the most energetic, most dramatic, and most violent objects in space, such as black holes and neutron stars. The first X-ray mission of its kind, the IXPE spacecraft, hopes to uncover hidden details of our universe.
On Dec. 9, NASA is scheduled to launch the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, or IXPE spacecraft, which will help unlock the secrets to some of the most extreme objects in the universe by exploring the leftovers of exploded stars, black holes, and more by looking at a special property of light called polarization.
The IXPE launch is scheduled for no earlier than 1 a.m. EST on Thursday, Dec. 9, 2021, on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Space Launch Complex 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Mysterious stellar phenomena such as black holes and neutron stars naturally emit X-rays and the IXPE's three X-ray space telescopes with sensitive detectors are capable of measuring the polarization of these cosmic X-rays, allowing scientists to answer fundamental questions about extremely complex environments in space where gravitational, electric, and magnetic fields are at their limits.
X-rays hold the key to understanding these phenomena, but because Earth's atmosphere blocks them from reaching us they can only be observed by telescopes in orbit.
Cassiopeia A. a supernova remnant, is one object that NASA's IXPE mission will study.

When my son was in kindergarten, I borrowed my grandmother's hefty stone flour mill, and bought a bushel of wheat grains at the Shuk (market) in Tel Aviv for show and tell at his school's International Day. At the time, we had left our home in the DC area for a short stint as ex-patriots in Israel. It was coming full circle for me, living back home, where I was born and raised.
My grandmother, tall and sturdy, a formidable woman with a great giggle, would clasp the wooden lever with both of her hands and in a circular motion turn the wheat grains in between the stones into whole wheat flour. It was a labor intensive, ancient practice. Back in Mumbai they had specialty shops to freshly grind the wheat grains for your daily bread making. Only on auspicious occasions, holidays and celebrations would my grandmother make her own whole wheat flour when living in India. With my grandmother going to work in Israel, to help with the household income, she slowly started using store bought all purpose flour. Whole wheat was not widely available at the time and with her working, time was elusive.
Growing up in Israel, my palate was accustomed to the all purpose white flour flavor and texture in Indian flatbreads. In my adult life, here in the US, I am making, when appropriate, true to original and better for you, whole wheat versions of my family's flatbread heirloom, among other, recipes. The type of wheat grains used in flour vary from country to country which results in slightly different flavor, texture and moisture content. The Indian durum whole wheat, called Atta, is more refined than the American whole wheat counterpart. You can buy it at your nearby Indian grocer, but whole wheat flours are for the most part interchangeable.
In an effort to learn more and share local Indian institutions' authentic Indian flatbread recipes, I reached out to Rasika's executive chef, Mr. Vikram Sunderam, nominated for a 2014 James Beard Award (best Mid-Atlantic chef) and Woodlands' owner, Mr. Anand Poojary.
I was first introduced to Woodlands' cuisine at the annual Chanukah celebrations at the Indian Ambassador's residence. Woodlands', pure vegetarian (no eggs), southern Indian restaurant, caters the yearly December event. On weekends, many from the DC area's Indian community flock to the lunch buffet at Woodlands', after worshiping at the nearby churches and temples. Abundance of dosas, thin and crispy rice and legumes pancakes, the idlis, steamed savory rice cakes, and the pav bhaji, potatoes, peas and other vegetables mash, on a bun, highlighting Mumbai's Street foods, at the buffet. My favorite, Pani puri, a popular street snack, is a small fried and crispy puffed bread spheres, filled with potatoes, chickpeas and onion, then drizzled with tangy tamarind sauce and green chutney.
Rasika, an upscale modern Indian restaurant, is a special occasion outing for heightened flavors and sensations of the exotic sub-continent. The Sindhi lamb Gosht from the north, and Kerala fish fry from the south, together with the famed palak chaat are unparalleled. No surprise that both restaurant and executive chef, Mr. Sunderam, garnered so many awards and accolades. The clay tandoor oven. at a minimum of 350F, had chicken kebabs cooking in it at the time. Chef Sunderam showed me how they slap the naan, Northern Indian leavened bread with yogurt in the dough, on to the walls of the tandoor and fish the bread out with specialty long metal skewers.
Breads are usually secondary, playing a supporting role in a meal. At Rasika and Woodlands, however, they take center stage, and shine just as much as the protagonist, the main dish. The authenticity of the breads at Woodlands and refinement of the bread basket at Rasika are unparalleled.
While discussing unleavened Indian flatbreads, Mr. Poojary mentioned, a little known fact, that in some cases, banana is added to the humble whole wheat roti (also called chapati) dough to make it softer, sweeter and more flavorful. It inspired me to develop a distinct breakfast banana chapati with caramelized bananas to top it off. Traditionally after the plain roti/chapati is cooked on each side until golden brown spots appear it is then directly put on open fire to swell and puff. It was fun to watch this step at Woodlands, but since the roti/chapati puffs on the griddle plenty, this step isn't necessary for the home cook.
The breads at Woodlands' are strictly made on a griddle or skillets (called tawa/tava), in Southern Indian tradition. At Rasika's and Mr. Poojary's second restaurant, Jewel of India, you will find a tandoor clay oven, in Northern Indian fashion. Certain breads like naans are made in a tandoor oven while others are made on a griddle. When you make breads on a griddle or a skillet, according to Mr. Poojary, you can roll the dough out thin if you wish. For the tandoor, the dough has to be rolled out thicker so it won't instantly char.
Parathas, a flaky layered flat bread, similar to the Yemeni Malawach, is most notably a northern Indian staple made with whole wheat. The same flaky, layered bread is used, according to my friend, Soma Rathore of eCurry, in an egg roll-up street food sandwich in her hometown, Kolkata. As a street food, parathas are made with unbleached all purpose flour according to Ms. Rathore and Mr. Poojary.
In Malabar, a southern western coastal region in India, the parathas are made solely with all purpose flour. The Malabari chef at Woodlands' demonstrated the technique used in Malabar to roll out the dough. Sort of like tossing a pizza dough in the air, only stretching it super thin so that it's almost translucent. It takes much skill. It's an art. The stretched dough is then folded, before you got a chance to bat an eyelash, into an accordion. The pleated dough is then rolled into a snail, 'a pinwheel, spiral' as Rasika's, Chef Sunderam put it, and flattened with a rolling pin into a round flat bread. You couldn't apply the Malabari technique to dough made with whole wheat. It is quite fascinating how ingredients affect the techniques.
While Woodlands' parathas were crispy from the outside and doughy from the inside, delicious, Rasika's parathas are thinner and herbaceous. The gobi (cauliflower) stuffed paratha at Rasika, piping hot, off the griddle, was a surprise sensation laced with the licorice dill twist.
In Rajashtan, a northern Indian state, where Ms. Rathore's husband hails from, the cooked whole wheat paratha is brushed with ghee, clarified butter. The paratha is then cupped with both palms and crushed before serving. It is crushed to highlight the layers in the whole wheat paratha, The almost ceremonial crushing of the paratha demonstrated to me by Woodlands' chef is not practiced when making the Malabari paratha. The layering in the all purpose flour Malabari paratha is more distinct and easily detectable to the naked eye. The whole wheat is crispier, therefore more amenable to crushing.
Over the weekend I tried my hand, to frustrating results and epic failure, at stuffed parathas. Stuffed parathas are another paratha making technique. I must have lost my touch, it's been too long. It was particularly frustrating since I've made the more complex Puran Poli, sweetened chickpea paste filled paratha, to perfection, time and time again in the past. Puran Poli is traditionally made with all purpose flour for the Hindu festival Holi and the Bnai Israel Indian Jewish community makes it for the Jewish Purim holiday. Both of which were just celebrated mid-March, last week.
I was in awe and humbled watching the executive chef, Mr. Vikram Sunderam, a native of Mumbai, at work. His re-iterated to me the trick to stuffed parathas is to keep the filling as moisture free as possible. No wonder I was failing I used frozen green peas. The grated raw gobi (cauliflower) in Chef Sunderam's paratha is a stroke of genius. In my entire cooking 'career' I have never seen raw vegetables used in parathas. They vegetables or any filling for that matter were always pre-cooked. The amount of moisture drawn from the grated cauliflower by letting it sit, salted, for half an hour took me by a complete surprise. Who would have known cauliflower packs so much liquid?!
Last Monday, at Rasika West End, under Mr. Sunderam's tutelage my gobi (cauliflower) paratha was perfection. It must have been Chef Sunderam's confident guidance and inspiration.
The subject matter is a mesmerizing, bottomless well of Indian flatbread making idiosyncrasies and information. My interest in exploring everything Indian flatbreads was sparked by my grandmother's flour mill that made it from Mumbai to Israel.
I covet my grandmother's stone flour mill. To promise to grind whole wheat flour with it would be too ambitious. I covet it, even if only as a relic to sit idly at my doorstep. I yearn to posses this artifact and not the distinct yellow 24 karat Indian gold jewelry she has left behind. I can almost hear my grandmother's priceless, heartfelt giggle, at this.
Many thanks to both, Rasika's executive Chef Vikram Sunderam, and Woodlands' and Jewel of India's owner Anand Poojary, for their exponential knowledge, welcoming me into their kitchens and sharing their recipes with TheWashington Post readers. A special thanks to Soma Rathore of eCurry. Thanks to my mom and my grandmother (who is now gone) for their rich heritage and inspiration.
Follow on Instagram to see behind the scenes, at Rasika and Woodlands, snapshots coming up.
On medium heat add the oil to a large and deep frying pan. Add the onions and green chile and cook for a few minutes, while occasionally mixing, until onions are soft and translucent, but not caramelized. If caramelizing turn down the heat. Add the ginger and cook for a couple of minutes longer while mixing. With a wooden spoon push the onions, ginger and chile to the side, making a clearing in the middle of the pan. Add the cumin and mustard seeds and cook for a few seconds. Mix onion mixture and seeds and add the frozen peas, turmeric and salt. Mix and let all the melted icy bits from the green peas completely evaporate, while occasionally stirring. You might serve as is or as a mash as shown above.
Serve this super simple and delicious spiced green peas with the roti, mint or gobi (cauliflower) paratha above.
*Author's note: My mom uses this combination of spices but never makes it with peas only. She also doesn't mash the peas.
They look fabulous and ever so mouthwatering! These are flatbreads I adore. A great post.
TY so much, Rosa. It means a lot!
Oh wow. My house is never without flatbread..but I'm not ambitious enough to make it from scratch. Wanna move in? Lol. Love these!
Amy, it's easier than you think. It's the roti is basically like making tortillas. Tortillas have more oil. & I bet your kids will flip over the banana flatbreads.
Not much better than fresh breads! And flatbreads. Swoon.
Wow, what a fantastic experience. I spent some time in Israel, but actually lived in Lebanon for a few years. if your shuk is the same kind of outdoor marketplace as our souk was, it was a very magical, wonderful (although terrible smelling) place.
I think your flatbread is gorgeous and the green pea recipe looks delicious, especially mashed in the bread!
You did?! :) Lebanon must be beautiful too. The shuk is actually as clean as a shuk can be but maybe I am sanitizing it in my mind?! :) & Thx so much!
I am speechless, and you know that never happens to me. I haven't travelled internationally and I feel like I miss out on so much culture because of it. I think this is so impressive. I've never made flat bread from scratch but this has me chomping at the bit to try.
Oh my goodness but that looks marvelous. I love those flatbreads and the green peas mash looks amazing!
I loved reading about your grandmother and the flour mill! These flatbreads look wonderful and I will be trying them soon!
Thx, Angie. Let me know if you've got a question when you make it.
זה נראה מעולהההההההההההה, והלוואי ויכולתי לאכול את זה עכשיו!!
I have a weakness for ALL bread. These look to die for. Lovely photos too.
TY @ Milk and Honey!
Fabulous article, Shulie! To say I'm proud of you is really sounding minimal...I'm SUPER PROUD of you and your creativity. Your photos are incredible! GO SHULIE!!!
Aww TY, Lora. It's nice to know I have such a good friend in you. Happy Birthday to little L, today.
Wow, what luck to have a teacher with those credentials help you craft your own magical bread. What a terrific article - well done!
Gorgeous breads and fascinating story. How exciting and interesting you got to spend the time with these chefs and watch them work. It all looks delicious and I am thoroughly fascinated by the Mint Paratha! Beautiful!

Quartz Daily Brief—Americas edition—Underwater MH370 search, Mylan eyes Meda, Mozilla's heretic, commuter water slides
Quartz Staff
PublishedApril 4, 2014
What to watch for today
An underwater search for MH370's black box. The UK and Australia deployed a batwing-shaped locator in the area where the missing plane is thought to have crashed. Monday will mark 30 days since the airplane's disappearance, so the box's batteries may be running out.
US unemployment falls to a five-and-a-half year low. Analysts expect to see 200,000 jobs added in March, up from February's 175,000, as the economy thaws out from a harsh winter. The unemployment rate is projected to be 6.6%, its lowest level since October 2008.
Tunisia shifts from security to finances. New prime minister Mehdi Jomaa meets with US president Barack Obama to discuss the economic recovery of the country that kicked off the Arab Spring. Jomaa will also meet with technology experts from Google and Microsoft.
Taiwan woos the US. Officials will petition the US to support its participation in the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade bloc. The US has been lukewarm toward Taiwan due to concerns about cross-strait political implications and a spat over US beef exports.
Moody's gives Greece a bump. Some analysts expect the ratings agency to increase Greece's credit rating from its current Caa3 position—two pegs below S&P's B- classification—citing the country's reduced risk of default and its government's commitment to reforms.
Mylan eyed its Swedish rival. US-based Mylan is preparing a bid for fellow generic drugmaker Meda (paywall), according to the Financial Times. A merger would create a $23 billion generic drugs giant, and might also offer Mylan a way to avoid US taxes.
Erdogan called for lower interest rates. The Turkish prime minister called on the central bank to convene an extraordinary meeting to lower rates, saying the economy is "in a good trend." He added that he did not wish to bring the 2015 general election forward, saying instead that "we should get on with our jobs."
Mercedes-Benz's best sales month ever. The German automaker sold 158,523 vehicles in March, up 13% from a year earlier, thanks to strong demand for its new compact cars.
China will stress test its banks… Regulators will conduct both regional and national exercises after a spike in bad loans in 2013. They're concerned that banks are suffering from a hangover from a lending binge that was designed to soften the effects of the 2008 financial crash.
…And its corrupt officials. To cap off a week in which more than $20 billion was seized in corruption probes, the government will conduct new investigations into its ministry of science and technology, Shanghai-based Fudan University, and a state-owned food and grain company.
McDonald's closed in Crimea. The restaurant chain became the second international company to end work in the region recently annexed by Russia. The company cited "manufacturing reasons" for the decision and has offered to relocate staff to Ukraine.
Fears of an overheated UK property market eased. Mortgage lender Halifax said house prices fell 1.1% in March—the biggest fall since April 2012. Low interest rates and government schemes had been lifting prices along with concerns that the market could overheat.
Quartz obsession interlude
Gwynn Guilford on why it's so hard to tell whether China has a housing bubble. "Before 2000, homes were built to be sold cheaply to poor and middle-class families. In addition to being small and spartan, these flats often included kitchens or bathrooms shared with the entire floor—no longer acceptable to today's rising middle class […] Around 60-70% of China's overall housing stock is such 'crappy legacy housing,' says Halpin.
