Dance|David Neumann's All-American Meal
David Neumann's All-American Meal
By Claudia La Rocco
IT'S possible you know the infamous David Hasselhoff video that hit YouTube a while back, the one with him on a floor, too drunk to eat a hamburger effectively, weathering an earnest lecture from one of his teenage daughters.
But you've probably never imagined it as it materialized on a recent snowy night in TriBeCa at the Battery Dance Studio, during a David Neumann/advanced beginner group company rehearsal for "Big Eater." The show, which opens Thursday at the Kitchen (let the puns begin), offers a dark, and darkly funny, meditation on the human condition in 21st-century America, threaded through with more tender autobiographical elements.
On this night six clothing-swaddled performers (the studio heat wasn't working) ran through the portion of the work inspired by Mr. Hasselhoff's inebriated condition. They switched characters or operated as doppelgängers. Simple, rhythmically paced phrases ("Don't get alcohol. Do you see what it's doing to you?") were juxtaposed with enigmatic bursts of movement. Mr. Neumann's trademark humor was in full, subversive effect, balanced by an almost elegiac mood.
"You see it all the time, these stars who get wasted, who don't know what to do with their lives," Mr. Neumann said. "There's something about this pain, or emptiness, we conceal but we don't really talk about."
"I grew up in an alcoholic family, and I understand that impulse," he added of the daughter's reasoning with her father, calling the video heartbreaking. "And it's roughly analogous to where we are. This American culture is like a fat, drunk movie star," heedless of its effects on others.
This point would be easy to hammer home, but Mr. Neumann, 44, is not prone to didacticism or linearity. As is the case with many works that he has created with his company, "Big Eater" incorporates diverse source materials, including snippets of television dialogue, inscrutable panel discussions, repurposed sections of "Giselle" and varied styles of movement.

"Part of the reason for so many sources — movement and otherwise — stems from my strong belief that dance is a dense and complicated art form, if allowed," he said. "I like the idea that the languages of the piece flare up and transform, like an abstract dance that devolves into talking, or vice versa."
The dancer Andrew Dinwiddie, who has worked with Mr. Neumann for more than a decade, described the more than yearlong making of "Big Eater" as a "free-associative" and "freewheeling" process in which meaning accrued slowly and subtly. "Even within a small phrase this thing feels like some kind of martial-art thing, and this thing feels like hula, and this thing feels like salsa," he said of the movement.
Many of the company's works, he added, evolve in similar fashion. "David creates so many of the moments based on some inspiration he seems to find in some unintended happenstance of blocking or in some funny thing we've been talking about in rehearsal."
Mr. Neumann's path to choreography was similarly winding. The son of Fred Neumann and Honora Fergusson, both actors of Mabou Mines fame, he was born in Paris and grew up in New Jersey. Though as a young man he set out to follow the family trade, he was also always moving.
"There are famous stories of me, even before I could walk, bouncing up and down to break things," he said with one of his frequent wry laughs. His parents even devised a system to keep him safe. "They rigged up this weird bungee cord kind of harness thing, so whenever I got a good burst of speed, I would always return to where I started. I was very, very active as a kid."
That energy was eventually channeled into more productive avenues. Mr. Neumann, the only boy in his high school dance company, also taught himself popping and locking, which he performed on the streets of New York and in clubs.
"I like the bravery and the freedom of dance as an art form in this country," he said. "But in terms of actually categorizing what the thing is itself, I have to admit it's difficult for me. It really does reside somewhere between dance and theater."

While studying acting at Purchase College, he started working with the choreographer Doug Elkins and later joined Doug Varone's company.
"When you watch him dance, you literally feel you are dancing too," said Annie-B Parson, who has cast him in several pieces for her Big Dance Theater. "He's just the most alive, kinetic, earthy performer."
Since 1998 Mr. Neumann has focused on work with his own troupe while finding time for projects like creating a duet for himself and Mikhail Baryshnikov, devising creature movement for the movie "I Am Legend" and appearing in pieces by Adrienne Truscott and other peers.
"He's testing you with his humor, but then he opens something in you when he choreographs," Mr. Baryshnikov said of their duet. "He's really digging into the complexity of the human condition, and that's where humor is the most important. And the absurdity of the everyday in our lives — he uses pedestrian situations in very disturbing or revealing ways."
Mr. Baryshnikov asked Mr. Neumann to create the piece after the two hit it off while performing in "Beckett Shorts," which opened at New York Theater Workshop in 2007. It was an intense experience for Mr. Neumann, whose father both interpreted Beckett's prose for the stage and visited him annually.
Now Mr. Neumann's father has a moody cameo in "Big Eater," philosophizing in a film that periodically seems like a "Discovery" special gone astray.
"The text is a very dim view of nature," Mr. Neumann said. But movement passages offer a more optimistic take on the species. "If my dad is in the woods, yelling at us, warning us about the natural world, the antidote to that is a consciousness and a careful attention to what one's doing."
Cue the Hasselhoff video.

I love burning candles, but I want to make sure they are toxic-free and clean burning. Learning How to Make Natural Non-Toxic Candles with soy wax, no lead wicks and essential oils was much easier than I thought.
Making toxic-free candles is becoming my new hobby! I used to make candles all the time when I was younger, but I haven't made any since my crockpot candles a few years ago.
I'm excited to try a few new methods and scents, maybe even colors. I remember my aunt showing me how to pour the hot wax over ice for a modeled wax look that was so popular in the 70s. I need to try it again!
Jars, cans, cups, vases etc.. Look around your home for items that would make a good vessel for a candle. You can even use old candle jars from candles you've already used. Just pop the jar in the freezer to easily remove old wax. Or try citrus peel candles.
Fill a large soup pot halfway. Place the soy flakes inside the pouring pot and then inside the water pot. It will lean to the side, with the handle on the outside of the soup pot.
Over Med/High heat, melt the wax completely. Do not bring the water to a boil.
While the wax is melting (it will take 10 to 15 minutes) prepare your jars by sticking the wick sticker on the bottom and in the center and then press the bottom of the wick to the sticker.
Thread the wick through the wick centering tool. Or tie the wick around a pencil.
After it's completely melted, remove the pot from the water and let it sit for a few minutes.
Pour slowly to the top.
Let them cool completely before burning. About 12 hours.
Not all candles are toxic, but many are. Many candles are made using paraffin wax, a petroleum byproduct which can release carcinogenic toxins. Emissions from paraffin candles contain many of the same toxins produced by burning diesel fuel.
The wick of a candle can also be very toxic by containing lead. If you see a small silver center to any candle wick, it has lead. The good news is that lead core wicks were banned in 2003.
Everyone loves a nice smelling home from burning candles. Sadly, many candles have a synthetic fragrance. 95% of the chemicals in synthetic fragrances are derived from petroleum, which includes benzene derivatives, aldehydes, toluene and many other known toxic chemicals linked to cancer.
Here's a report from the EPA about indoor pollution related to candles and incense.
Look for candles made with soy wax or beeswax, along with cotton wick and natural fragrance.
If you can't make your own, try these below.
Mrs. Meyers Soy Wax Candles – I love the Honeysuckle scent.
Pet Household Candles – great for pet odors.
When learning how to make natural non-toxic candles, you'll be able to make all the toxin-free scented DIY candles you desire!
This looks like a fun weekend project! I am saving this!
I was shocked how easy!
This would be great gifts! Thanks for sharing.
Yes! So many options, Thanks Julie!
I love making my house smell good, but hate the toxic chemicals. I need to make these!
Exactly! I love using my diffusers too!
Love this! Perfect easy and thoughtful DIY gift idea!
Looks easy enough! Thanks for the post! I think I'm going to try my hand at making these.
So much easier than I was remembering!

Author teases readers with a situational crime case
This novel entitled 'I Am Guilty' by Fritz Thenor tells about the confession of a mentally-ill man about his crimes and how the court solves it.
Westerville OHIO – WEBWIRE – Thursday, November 2, 2017
After 7 years, the man, who admitted that he had been hospitalized several times for mental illnesses, revealed that he had been disturbed by voices urging him to confess.
A mentally-ill person approached a police officer in downtown Chicago and confessed that he was the one responsible for the case of five young women who were found raped and brutally murdered in Chicago, Virginia Beach, San Francisco, New York, and Miami way back in the 1980s. The cases of those unfortunate women were unresolved and were still stored in the police archives.
After 7 years, the man, who admitted that he had been hospitalized several times for mental illnesses, revealed that he had been disturbed by voices urging him to confess. The public was horrified by the news. It was also learned that the rape-murder occurred after the patient was discharged from a psychiatric hospital. Should the court believe a confession from a mentally-ill person?
This well-written story by Fritz Thenor gives the readers the idea of how forensic psychiatry plays a major role in solving complicated cases, especially if it involves one's sanity. This is highly recommended for readers who enjoy reading investigative stories. It contains a prelude and forty-eight chapters that will definitely excite the readers on how the story will conclude.
The novel I Am Guilty will be proudly displayed at the 2017 American Association of School Librarians which will take place this November 9, 2017. Grab a copy now!
I Am Guilty
Written by: Fritz Thenor
Published by: Tate Publishing
Paperback price: $496.01
The author, John Norte a.k.a. Fritz Thenor, MD, is a practicing forensic psychiatrist. He published the following professional books: Forensic Psychiatry, Study Guide, Questions and Answers (1997), and Mental Health Law (2004). The former has been used by psychiatrists to prepare for the examination to obtain the "added qualifications in forensic psychiatry." Mental Health Law, on the other hand, has been used by psychiatrists and lawyers to prepare for court hearings in forensic psychiatry cases. Another book to his credit is the fictional novel Medea (2005).

66A: Discontinuing of the Draconian provision3 min read
Rounak Bose
The Supreme Court on March 26, finally decided to scrap the "archaic" provision of Section 66 A of the IT Act of 2000 garnering a triumphant response from the public across the social media. While some are considering this a major milestone in the pursuit for attaining liberty of expression on new media, there are those of us, who believe that the judgement came a bit too late. But before we discuss any further, one must understand what 66A is all about and why is there such a huge hue and cry about it.
In layman's language, if a one can afford a computer or any communication device and use it to voice one's opinion or perspective on any given topic, one can be arrested and charged under the above said provision. One may face imprisonment for up to three years if one attracts the ire of someone in power or a high level bureaucrat.
The provision mentions as to how the information must be "grossly offensive" or "menacing in character" for the provision to take effect, which I find jocularly hilarious. The ambiguity and vagueness prevalent in the provision is stark, leaving one to contemplate as to what would be defined as "menacing in character" or how offensive is "grossly offensive". This clearly presents a frightening judicial limbo when it comes to the provision and one is left to assume what really constitutes it.
Now this is where it stops getting funny. We realize the flimsy and tenuous statutory interpretations that the police often garner off of this to facilitate their dubious agendas (which of course are seldom their own, and mostly belong to that of the Party in power or even the state government for that matter).
Looking at instances, there are plenty. From Jadavpur University Professor, Ambikesh Mahapatra's arrest for a political cartoon about West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to that of businessman, Ravi Srinivasan in Puducherry for an allegedly defamatory tweet against the son of Union Finance Minister P. Chidambaram. Ironically enough, Chidambaram was quick to respond to the banning of the banal law, applauding the decision to do so. However, the worst case of violation of freedom of expression that rocked the nation came last November, when two young women, Shaheen Dadha and her friend Renu Srinivasan, were arrested for a comment posted on Facebook that questioned the shutdown of Mumbai following the demise of Shiv Sena supremo, Bal Thackeray. The girls were arrested under Section 66A (a) of the IT Act for allegedly sending a 'grossly offensive' and 'menacing' message through a communication device.
"It is clear that Section 66A arbitrarily, excessively and disproportionately invades the right of free speech and upsets the balance between such right and the reasonable restrictions that may be imposed on such right," said a Bench of Justices J. Chelameswar and Rohinton F. Nariman on successfully abolishing the act. This may serve as justice to those whose rights have been violated but it hardly gives a solution to the larger picture.
My predicament is, will the abolishing of the wretched undefined provision be followed as lawfully as while it was imposed? Or will there be continuance of "choking of the windpipe" of the general masses, hidden behind the facade of bureaucracy drawing parallels with the often corrupt police forces?
Another disappointing fact that must be raised is that unlike many archaic laws like the Article 377 which have been prevalent in the country since the Pre-Independent British era, 66A is fairly new in its initiation. The law was amended in 2008 and received Presidential assent on February 5, 2009. This raises the fundamental question as to how an act which was so clearly flawed in its nature, which would tend to get more "misused" than "used", saw the light of the day. This raises an even larger question on the very national fibre on which the country stands and makes one wonder as to whether the democracy in which we reside in is merely a titular one.

Save the Date: Monarchs lay their eggs on milkweed in North Texas in the spring. By late summer, their progeny will make their first journey south. Elizabeth Lavin
Garden Guru Van Johnson Creates a 5-Star Airbnb for Migrating Butterflies
The Oak Cliff gardener on how we can make traveling monarchs' annual Dallas pit stop more pleasurable.
By Ryan Conner Published in D Magazine June 2019 Photography by Elizabeth Lavin
Each fall, monarch butterflies east of the Rockies migrate thousands of miles from southern Canada to the mountains of interior Mexico, where they spend the winter. But habitat loss and climate change have led to such a drastic drop in population that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will make a decision this month on possibly adding them to the Endangered Species list. In the meantime, one Oak Cliff gardener has made it his mission to make their annual Dallas pit stop more pleasurable. Van Johnson has turned his backyard into a 5-star Airbnb for winged guests.
Johnson has been gardening since he was a young boy. Both of his grandmothers were avid gardeners. One, a retired farmer, planted vegetables and fruits. The other was more into beauty, an ornamental gardener obsessed with irises, possibly to a criminal extent.
"We went to an abandoned house and my grandmother lifted me over the fence, handed me a trowel, and had me go dig up a chocolate-colored iris," Johnson says. "I came back and handed her the iris and trowel, and she lifted me back over the fence. That's probably what started me."
Hands Off: It's OK for butterflies to touch you, but you should avoid touching butterflies. The insects are fragile and can be injured easily. (The ones pictured on Johnson aren't real.)
Elizabeth Lavin
Johnson now grows an organic garden at his Oak Cliff home, where he has lived for 22 years. He also moderates the popular Oak Cliff Gardeners Facebook page that has 2,100 members and a lengthy waiting list. Members exchange tips, hacks, and plant sale alerts, along with friendly banter. "It's one of the nicest groups on the internet," he says.
Three years ago, Johnson took a neighbor's advice and turned his front yard into a perennial garden overflowing with fragrant plants like rosemary and oregano, Zinfandel vines bursting with grapes to attract birds, and shrubs like Jerusalem sage. He welcomes toads, bees, birds, caterpillars, and lizards—all parts of his mini ecosystem. He calls his technique slow gardening. He plants, waits, observes, and then adds a plant here, a rock there. The process is all part of the fun.
But Johnson's showstopper is a butterfly garden that is tucked in the utility easement in the back alley. Cowpen daisies, mullien, spiderwort, and Gregg's mistflower all coexist to attract the beautiful winged insects as they migrate to Mexico for the winter. During a good year, he can spot 20 to 30 butterflies per plant. Come October, Johnson welcomes neighbors and members of his gardening group to come by to see if they can spot a painted lady or monarch dancing around his garden.
Johnson's Tips for Landing a Few Winged Friends This Summer
Butterflies like calm, sunny conditions.
"It can help to have larger shrubs bracketing in the butterfly-attracting perennials or at least on the side of the prevailing winds. Fragrant white mistflower is a woody shrub that blooms in fall and will be covered with many butterflies. This does double duty as both a windbreak for the other plants and a butterfly-attracting plant in its own right. The south or west side of a building or solid fence can also be a good location due to ample sun and the wind being blocked from one direction."
Pay attention to your hardscape.
"White rocks also help with the microclimate. I like to use limestone rocks in butterfly gardens because it reminds me of the Hill Country, where many of these butterfly-attracting natives are endemic. They just look like they belong together."
Choose drought-tolerant plants.
"Cowpen daisy is so named because of its ability to thrive in disturbed soil. It reseeds freely, so you need to be careful where you plant it. In the fall, it is especially attractive to painted ladies, so having some of this will keep butterflies in your garden after the monarchs have gone."
Supply the butterflies with sugar.
"Gregg's mistflower has attractive dissected foliage and a flower that is reminiscent of an ageratum, but up to 2 feet tall. It will be covered with monarchs and queens in October. The monarchs, of course, need the calories from the nectar to continue their southward migration. The plant also has alkaloids that the male queen must have to create the pheromones to attract the female. When you plant this perennial, you are helping two separate butterfly populations."
Add a pond or bog.
"If you have a garden pond, water snowball is an absolute must. If you don't have a pond, these will work in a bog garden. Sink a watertight container into the ground—I like to use black plastic dish pans—and fill it with soil. Add water until you have mud. The water snowball will be very happy in this as long as you keep it very wet. If you have it near your birdbath, you can top them off at the same time a couple times a week."
Don't forget the caterpillars.
"In addition to nectar plants for the adults, to have a good population of butterflies, you of course also need host plants for the caterpillars. Monarch caterpillars can feed only on milkweed—it is their only source of food. Milkweed also provides the cardiac glycosides that the caterpillar ingests and retains as an adult that makes it distasteful to birds and other predators."
Go organic.
"Needless to say, butterfly gardens must be organic. The average gardener considers aphids to be a huge evil, but butterfly gardeners know that the tender new growth on the top tells you the milkweed is organic. You can dispatch the aphids when you get the plant home. Many butterfly gardeners look for milkweed with aphids on them to be sure what they are getting is pesticide free."

A retrospective study was made of 203 Furlong total hip prostheses implanted in one hundred and fifty two patients between 1983 and 1993 in a single Orthopaedic unit. All patients were clinically and radiologically assessed in the research clinic.
The mean age at surgery was 67.9. The average duration in situ was 9.19 years (range 5-16 years). The average Merle d'Aubigné-Postel, Harris hip, and Patients satisfaction scores were 5.25, 88.78 (range 52-98), and 4.3 respectively.
Eleven of the two hundred and three prosthesis failed, at a mean of 4.6 years. Reasons for failure included aseptic loosening in eight cases (3.9%), recurrent dislocations in two and one periprosthetic fracture. In fourteen prosthesis with progressive radiological lucencies eight developed clinical symptoms warranting revision surgery.

These Concrete Gravity Trains May Solve the Energy Storage Problem
These land based trains take excess electrical energy and store it through potential energy gained in large train masses.
By Trevor English
Energy grids fluctuate throughout the day as demand and production increase and decrease. Usually, during peak hours, the demand for electricity is close to or exceeds the production capacity at that time. During off-hours, generally in the night, production capacity far exceeds what is being drawn from the grid. This results in a natural unsteadiness to the energy grid, and experts have been experimenting with ways to make sure that the lights always stay on.
One of the most common ways that energy is stored in large scale for the grid is through pumped hydroelectric storage dams. The Taum Sauk reservoir is one of these types of "physical batteries" that essentially stores excess energy through potential energy in water mass. When there is excess power, water is pumped to the high elevation of the reservoir. When there is too little power, water is released thus generating electricity again. While this is a current solution, it is only suitable in the perfect geographical location.
One California company has come up with another solution, the Advanced Rail Energy Storage System, or ARES for short.
Source: ARES
This technology is essentially a land-based train that takes excess electrical energy and stores it through potential energy gained in large train masses. In rudimentary terms, it's the equivalent of pushing a large rock up a hill when you have the energy so you can push it down later when you need more energy.
ARES technology uses rail cars that essentially carry extremely heavy blocks of concrete to the top of a hill or specific grade. The rail cars can be powered by electricity off the grid during off-peak hours when there is little demand. During peak hours, the rail cars are then released from the top of their grade to move down the hill, transferring potential energy into electrical energy through regenerative braking.
While the technology may seem too simple to work, the company claims an 80 percent efficiency rate of energy input to energy output through storage. Each car can deliver constant power for up to 8 hours.
The company has put together several test systems including a 268-meter track in California. The Nevada Public Utilities Commission has tasked ARES with constructing the grid energy system in the mountains of Nevada in order to stabilize their grid.
While it may sound absurd, in only a few years, Nevada's electrical grid may be stabilized by a fleet of automated trains weighing 300 tons each. The company has specifically designed the system to work best on a grade of 7.2%. This allows the best transfer of energy from potential to kinetic while also allowing the trains to maintain stability.
When each 300-ton train moves down the slope, it can provide 50MW of power to help stabilize the grid. In total, the track for the Nevada system will stretch 9.2 kilometers through the desert with an elevation differential of 640 meters (2100 feet).
One of the most advantageous qualities to the energy system is the low cost compared to other energy storage techniques. The company states that it can be implemented for half of the cost of the cheapest electrical energy storage system. The system also requires no external input in the form of fuel or water, it purely operates from the energy coming from the grid. These qualities are impressing many electrical companies across the world and have taken a fairly rudimentary design and turned it into a possible universal solution
The concept of physical batteries storing excess electricity through potential energy is one that currently leads the large scale energy storage techniques. With the emergence of electric cars, Elon Musk and other leading minds believe that the future of maintaining a steady grid my lie in all of our cars batteries.
By allowing the energy grid to draw power from our cars during night time charging hours, it may allow every electric car to essentially function as a small battery helping the overall infrastructure maintain level output. In order for this system to practically work, however, the entire energy grid would need to be redesigned for 2 way flow and certain constraints would need to be set in place around how and when power can be taken from a car's battery.
All in all, between electric cars and concrete gravity sleds, the power grid is becoming significantly better managed.

Five to Watch: Revving up for a short-track Saturday night at Richmond
By Zack Albert | Friday, September 20, 2019

The Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series preps for the first short track of the playoffs with Richmond Raceway playing host to the middle event in the three-race Round of 16. With postseason pressure still on an elevated plane, here are five story lines to watch for Saturday night's Federated Auto Parts 400 (7:30 p.m. ET, NBCSN, MRN, SiriusXM).
TWO FOR TRUEX?: Martin Truex Jr. heads into Saturday night's 400-lapper aiming for a pair of doubles. A second straight win after last week's playoff-opening triumph in Las Vegas would produce a Richmond season sweep. But the 39-year-old driver has a burden removed for Saturday's start after earning free passage into the Round of 12 with his Vegas victory. "It's a good confidence booster," said Truex, the 2017 series champ. "It came at a good time. I think the bonus points are really critical. We didn't finish where we wanted to in the regular-season standings. We lost a few spots through that stretch there of things happening to us, so bonus points were huge. Just good timing to start the playoffs just for the confidence for the whole group, not just me or Cole (Pearn, crew chief), but for the whole group."

A JUMP FOR JGR: Current events point to one organization as a standout because of its recent Richmond performance: Joe Gibbs Racing. JGR's Toyotas have prevailed in three straight events at the .75-mile Virginia track as part of a stretch that includes wins in six of the last eight Richmond races. That history stands to help all four JGR drivers, but Erik Jones -- last in the playoff field after an early retirement last week at Vegas -- may need it most. "Just need to have a good day," Jones said. "Top five in every stage, finish in the top five and hoping some other guys have some worse days than us is what it's going to take to get at least in a position going into Charlotte where we can at least point our way through. We're not out, by any means."
ROVAL RECOURSE: Saturday's race also provides a chance to release the playoff pressure valve, which is sure to ramp up with next weekend's event at the Charlotte Motor Speedway oval and road course. It's the second go-around for the unpredictable circuit, which has undergone revisions for this year's edition, but it's also the site of the postseason's first elimination with four drivers getting the boot before the Round of 12. "There's no doubt you can control your own destiny a little bit more here at Richmond than you can at Charlotte," said provisional pole winner Brad Keselowski, who crashed out of last year's inaugural event. "A solid day for us here would put us in a position to where we'd have a lot more fun at the Roval."
PREDICTORS OF PERIL: Saturday's event marks the second straight season that Richmond's September date has been a part of the 10-race playoffs, shifting from its previous role as the regular-season finale. Both schedule placements come with their own set of challenges, but neither one makes it easier to predict what may transpire Saturday night. "This race has typically been -- with the exception of last year -- the cut-off race, and you saw a lot of sparks flying and attitudes and things like that," said Ryan Newman, who ranks 13th in the 16-driver field. "But I think it still has that capability. It just happens to be a middle-of-the-road playoff race, not the final cut-off."

CROSSTOWN TRAFFIC: Kyle Busch's late-race contact with lapped traffic last weekend -- and his fiery criticisms afterward -- ignited a debate about courtesy among drivers running at different paces. One week later, no clear-cut solution presented itself with both sides making impassioned arguments about the unwritten rules and etiquette. "You have to be on guard. It's like playing with a snake," said David Ragan, who spun out Garrett Smithley in a similar situation three weeks ago at Darlington. "You know that that snake's dangerous, so you have to take it extra careful. I'm not too worried racing side-by-side (with) Ryan Newman because he's an excellent driver, he's got great equipment, he's got a great spotter. I trust him running side-by-side, but when I drive into the corner with Garrett Smithley, I need to guard up a little bit because you don't know what they're going to do, you don't know what his car's going to do. It's not necessarily the driver. He's hanging on for dear life. He works harder to run 35th than the guy that runs fifth works. That's a fact because I've been in both those scenarios."

Fresh blades of green popping up through the decaying remnant of last year's grass. The rocky soil peppered with sticks hurt my feet. It didn't matter. Being barefoot outside is what I've been dreaming of for months. I felt acutely aware of every step, every stick, every soft blade as I made my way to the hammock. Concious of how unusual 84 degrees was in April, I wanted to take it all in. There was an appreciation and connection to the moment that I don't often experience with such intensity.
Everything felt just a little bit simpler dangling suspended above the ground, face to the sun. A lawnmower hummed in the distance, mingled with lively sound of chirping birds. The rustling of budding branches swaying in the wind felt cleansing, restorative even.
The wonderful thing about living in a place with seasons is getting to experience them to the fullest until ultimately wishing for the next one. Admittedly, I'm not a winter person. I don't much care for snow and limited daylight while being stuck inside feels emotionally crippling. But - but, it's transient, no matter how long it may seem in the moment. And the anticipation of steady warm weather had me thinking about spring and summer food.
When I think of spring and summer food, inevitably fresh fruit comes to mind. Local peaches, blackberries etc. Those would make ideal companion for tuna cakes, which I had been itching to make.
Now tuna cakes are easy to throw together and even easier to eat. But I have to say, not all tuna is created equal. I prefer canned to fresh when making tuna cakes and a brand that truly makes me swoon is St. Jude Tuna. Besides the fact that it's the best canned tuna I've had, I appreciate the owner's passion for only using sustainably caught tuna that's dolphin free. I was immediately drawn to their philosophy and dedication.
So aside from the several cans I've devoured on their own, I decided to make this simple recipe that's packed with flavor. Making tuna cakes is impossibly easy. I use almond flour, eggs, dill, lemon and their Mediterranean style tuna in olive oil. For a topping, I decided to stick to fresh flavors and make a blackberry peach salsa with red bell pepper, red onion, cilantro in a lemony dressing. I honestly flipped over the combination. The synergy between the ingredients is beautiful and a dish hasn't brought me this much joy in a long time. You'll be able to put dinner on the table in 20 minutes from start to finish. These tuna cakes will not disappoint!
In medium bowl, add lemon juice, 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper and whisk well until the dressing is thick. Add peach pieces, pepper, onion and cilantro and stir well. Last, add the blackberries but gently toss them around. They will discolor the peaches a bit but don't stress, it's supposed to happen. Once all the ingredients are mixed well, cover the bowl and set aside.

Q: Express server has CORS enabled, though it still fails when performing aync HTTP request from Angular This is some weird problem we're having right now, and we need some help regarding the issue.
First of all, we've got an Express server that serves some data, acts as an API, and works pretty well when being consumed from the same domain. No problems here.
But we also want to use this API (since it's in our development server) from our computers, to leverage the data and test things easier and faster. Not a weird approach, right? Well, then we just set up CORS in the Express file. This is our API:
const express = require('express');
const bodyParser = require('body-parser');
const app = express();
const fs = require("fs");

const MockupData = require('./MockupData').MockupData;

// Setting up CORS and bodyparser
app.use(bodyParser.json());
app.use( (req, res, next) => {
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
    res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept");
    next();
});

app.use(express.static('public'));

// Mockup data setter
let mockupData;
const assignCollection = (requestedCollection) => {
    if(!mockupData || mockupData.collection != requestedCollection){
        mockupData = new MockupData(requestedCollection, false);
    }
}

const errorHandler = (err, res) => {
    console.error("ERR: ", err);
    res.status(500);
    res.render('error', { error: err });
}

// Router
app.post("/api", (req, res) => {
   res.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
   assignCollection("achieved_combined");
    if(mockupData){
    mockupData.get(req.body)
        .then(data => res.send(data))
        .catch(err => errorHandler(err, res));
    }else{
        errorHandler(err, res);
    }
});

app.get("/", (req, res) => {
    res.send("API responding");
})

app.listen(80, () => console.log("Pseudo-server listening to port 80"));

From Angular, this is the call:
@Injectable()
export class DataRequester{

    url = "http://our.subdomain.com";

    constructor(private http:Http){

    }

    /**
     * This method receives the "config" stateful object for setting up the
     * conditions of the data that the app needs from the server. The data is
     * returned in a promise that is fulfilled when the data is ready to be
     * consumed.
     * @param config The config object with all the data.
     * @param reportTypes Types of reports to fetch. Options: cross_section, timeseries, panel
     * @returns The backend's response for the stated conditions.
     */
    requestData(config, reportTypes){
        return new Promise( (resolve, reject) => {
            const query = this.buildQuery(config, reportTypes);

            this.http.post(this.url+"/api", query).subscribe( (response:any) => {
                if(response._body){
                    const data = JSON.parse(response._body);
                    console.log(data)
                    resolve(data);
                }
            }, err => this.errorHandler(err, reject));
        })
    }

But it keeps giving the same error over and over:

Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading
  the remote resource at http://webdev.objectiveportal.com/api. (Reason:
  CORS header 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' missing).

Why is it failing? Do you have any idea on why is this happening?
We would really appreciate some help! Thank you!

A: Try using Express/CORS middleware. Install it first:
npm install cors --save-prod
Then, to enable access from all origins, no need to manually set headers. Just  add the following to your server's code:
var express = require('express');
var cors = require('cors');
var app = express();

app.use(cors());

Richardson's layup lifts Heat past Jazz, 103-102
7Jan - by Editor - 0 - In STL.News
MIAMI (AP) — Josh Richardson's layup with 5.1 seconds left capped a Miami rally from eight points down in the fourth, Donovan Mitchell missed what would have been the winner at the buzzer and the Heat beat the Utah Jazz 103-102 on Sunday.
Tyler Johnson and Goran Dragic each scored 16 points for Miami, which has won four straight — all by single digits, the Heat's longest stretch of such games since November 2012.
Richardson and Hassan Whiteside each had 14 points, and Kelly Olynyk had 12.
Mitchell scored 19 of his 27 points in the second half, but couldn't save Utah from dropping its seventh straight on the road. He went into the backcourt to take the final inbounds pass and wound up taking a jumper from the right side that missed as time expired.
Rodney Hood scored 17 points, Thabo Sefolosha added 13 and Derrick Favors 11 for the Jazz. Utah was up eight with 6:59 left, and was still up by five in the final 2 minutes before Miami closed on an 8-2 spurt.
Richardson's winner came after the Heat called a timeout with 7.8 seconds left, after corralling the rebound off of Hood's miss. Richardson got to the rim with ease, laid it in and Miami moved back to fifth in the Eastern Conference.
Miami improved to 2-14 when trailing after three quarters.
The Heat led for 20 of the 24 first-half minutes, but their lead was only 49-47 at the break.
Mitchell was 3 for 12 in the opening half, after going 5 for 14 against the Heat when the teams met in November. It was like he was due to break out — and did just that, needing only 3 minutes to score Utah's first 11 points of the second half.
He made his first five shots of the third, ended up 6-for-8 for 13 points in the quarter and Utah took a 75-74 lead into the fourth.
Jazz: The 3:30 p.m. EST tip is the earliest for Utah this season. … The Jazz scored 74 points in the teams' first meeting this season; Joe Johnson's jumper with 1:09 left in the third gave Utah 75 on Sunday. …
Utah is off until Wednesday, which means the Jazz — who had time for exactly one non-gameday practice in December — will get one during this trip.
Heat: Miami plays seven of its next eight, and 11 of its next 14, on the road. … There's been no change yet in the status of Dion Waiters, who sought a second opinion on his sprained left ankle last week. Waiters missed his sixth consecutive game. … The Heat sent Derrick Walton Jr. to Sioux Falls of the G League over the weekend, after he appeared in 12 games with Miami.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver watched the game from the stands. He's in Miami for league marketing meetings scheduled for this week.
Whiteside had tip-ins on consecutive possessions in the first quarter, 22 seconds apart, which sounds great — until realizing it happened on both ends of the floor. Favors was credited with the basket when Whiteside accidentally deflected the ball in for two Utah points, and on the ensuing Miami possession the Heat center tipped in a miss by Dragic.
Jazz: Visit Washington on Wednesday night.
Heat: Visit Indiana on Tuesday night.

Seattle Sounders Trade Pete Vagenas To Colorado Rapids In Exchange For Two Defenders
By Kirsten Schlewitz Nov 22, 2010, 4:51pm PST
Share All sharing options for: Seattle Sounders Trade Pete Vagenas To Colorado Rapids In Exchange For Two Defenders
The Seattle Sounders have announced that midfielder Pete Vagenas has been traded to Colorado Rapids in exchange for defenders Julien Baudet and Danny Earls.
Vagenas is an 11-year MLS veteran and has been with Seattle for the past two seasons, chosen by the team in the 2008 expansion draft. This season, Vagenas had 10 appearances with the club before being placed on the disabled list with a quadriceps strain. In an interesting move, Vagenas has now been left unprotected for this season's expansion draft, scheduled to take place on Wednesday.
Trading away Vagenas could be considered a sign of the Sounders' continued faith in youth, with the club favoring youngsters rather than experienced veterans. While Julien Baudet is a 31-year-old Frenchman, having played ten years in his native country, it is the arrival of Danny Earls that is more exciting for Seattle. The 21-year-old has been in MLS for just one year, starting 15 games for the Rapids.
Earls, a native of Dublin, Ireland, started his career with Wicklow Rovers before moving to Aston Villa. Although Earls never had an appearance for the senior side, the Villa reserves are one of the best sides in England, regularly winning the reserve league championship. A young, quality defender would go a long way toward strengthening the Seattle defense, which started to show signs of wear and tear at the end of last season.

Live and learn: LIU, developers strike deal to erect hybrid school-residential tower on campus
By Colin Mixson
Good sports: Long Island University honchos struck a deal with developer RXR Realty to construct a massive school–residential building on the site of the college's current athletic fields.
Community News Group / Colin Mixson
Talk about higher education!
Long Island University will rake in $41 million — and get a new building with a parking garage and outdoor sports fields on top — just for letting a developer build a 34-story skyscraper on the site of the campus's current athletic center.
RXR Realty is coughing up the cash so it can build the new tower, which will contain floors occupied by the college below apartments owned by the builder, on a parcel of university land along Willoughby Street and Ashland Place, according to a rep for the company.
"[The university building] is a podium … and our building starts above that," said RXR Realty honcho Seth Pinsky. "I would think less about who owns the land and more about who owns the structures, and we will own the residential building."
The hybrid edifice's residential floors will contain 476 units, about 140 of which the builder hopes will be below-market-rate through the state's 421a housing-subsidy program, according to Pinsky.
The developer-owned tower will also boast amenities including an exercise space, a kids' room, and a yoga studio, according to permits filed with the Department of Buildings,
which are being processed.
RXR Realty will shell out a total of $300 million for the project, $76 million of which it paid the university for building rights on its campus.
School honchos will reinvest a little less than half that amount — $35 million — in the new development, and put the rest towards existing programs and scholarships, a rep for the college said.
The new university building is part of a sweeping makeover its honchos hope to implement on its Brooklyn campus over the next decade, the spokesman said.
That project also calls for a new food court, classrooms for a digital-game-design program, a center for media arts, expanded laboratories and computer-science curriculum, erecting two additional floors atop the school's Health Sciences and Pharmacy buildings, and creating new space within its library, he said.
"A partnership like this essentially brings in the resources we need to move forward with what is really the most ambitious master plan we've ever had," said Jon Schneider. "It's really exciting for us."
The university-owned portion of the new edifice is slated to open in 2021, with the developer-owned residential tower opening the following year.

Many businesses are using postcards regularly simply because postcards work! Indeed, postcards makes good business sense. They create visibility for the sender. Also, they are highly cost efficient, especially as compared to other advertising options. Companies which regularly send out postcards range from NYSE member institutions and municipal governments to nation-ally known retailers and small distributors, and, no surprise here, companies that sell postcard advertising.
Dot Info has designed and posted numerous post cards. Most Dot Info cards are referred to as Chartcards. Post cards typically contain announcements, greetings, or perhaps a card may be a redeemable coupon. A postal Chart-card more often includes information which recipients may consider valuable. Such information may be a chart or other reference data that may be of special interest. The charts on the left show some examples of postal cards that contain potentially interesting data.
These Chartcards are referred to as "keepers" because many recipients will keep the cards for further reference. A Chartcard that has an attractive design or illustration, combined with useful information, is often saved. Such cards might be pinned to a bulletin board, stuck on a instrument or a machine, or tucked into a notebook for reference. More importantly for a sender is that his or her organization's name and logo are kept with the Chartcard. By keeping an organization's name and/or its commercial activity in evidence, that organization will be one of the first to be thought of when purchases or contacts are contemplated. If you are the sender, this is a happy thought!
Postcards and Chartcards are efficient. For one thing, they can keep all recipients the loop: new prospects, current customers, past clients - - with minimum effort. When compared with traditional direct-mail piece such as letter or booklets, postcards win hands down in efficiency. A card needs no personalized greeting nor original signature, and only a small amount of copy is necessary. There's no folding, no stuffing, etc.; handling is at a minimum.
Also, efficiency means economical. That means that by using postcards, you can realize savings on paper, printing and labor costs. Further, standard size cards provide a big savings in postage costs as compared to usual letters. When you put money into valuable information by using Chartcards, you'll increase the "staying power" of your message. Standard invitations and flyers work for department stores and groceries which need to advertise hundreds of items, but are expensive "overkill" for commercial and technical organizations.
Postcards and Chartcards are appealing and quick. There's no envelope to hide the message. There's not a lot of thinking involved, not a lot of copy to wade through. Cards are brief and to the point. They work!
Postcards and Chartcards are powerful. They make the impression, are efficient and effective, and provides opportunities to keep in touch with present customers, to maintain contact with past customers, and to reach out to prospective (future) customers. ---And, with a Chartcard on the wall, your logo is there when requirements come up.
If your business or organization is looking for an effective and affordable way to stay in touch with its customers, - - well, drop 'em a card.
The above five images are Chartcard samples. Click to see larger views. Please note that these are low resolution views for fast web loading; larger view cards having medium resolution are on the next level (click on images). They require a bit more time to load.
Higher resolution images for Chartcards, Data Sheets, and other promotional material are always provided to clients.
Dot Info will be pleased to suggest appropriate Chartcards for clients use. Chartcards work and they are cost effective. Typically, a custom design and printing of 1000 standard size post cards will be in the US$ 250 range.
For increased efficiency, Dot Info can mail cards on clients' behalf. Contact us for information.
The above chart is a nominal 11 by 17 inch wall chart that visually presents gas dynamics mixing relationships. It includes vapor pressure and dew point curves, pressure/volume equivalents, plus conversions between pressure volume flow and mass flow. The inclusion of this chart is to show that otherwise complex relationships can be best understood when visually presented.
If your company needs to provide technical information, the right chart will do the job. And Dot Info can create the charts that are right for your presentations.

Sorry for the callout thread, it was the best way I could think of to ask. Anyway this piece of music is stellar.
History would suggest it would be a disaffected member or someone in danger of being caught in the fraud.
I was thinking more like this guy. I'm hoping they issue me the Sword of Laban.
I'm beginning to like this new form of Mormonism. I should consider becoming active again and reapplying for the position of Inquisitor.
Would veganism and vegetarianism become the Pharisaical position?
They would never let the Cougars risk losing muscle mass. Vegan diets are very hard to get right with regards to athletics. Meat is kind of "easy mode" in the diet when it comes to being an athlete.
How did keto work for you, if you don't mind me asking? It's all the rage here in Minnesota but I have yet to try it. I do the 35/35/30 split but TBH I do go low on the carbs more often than not. Also will be back to 6000 cal/day soon.
Good for you. I wouldn't tell you what decision I think you should have made, but there's nothing about you that you should have to conceal. I look forward to the article.

The Aged Dark Air Cured is a dark, thick air cured tobacco leaf. This leaf has a medium to dark chocolate brown color on top with a somewhat lighter color on the underside. This leaf is very similar to the Dark Air Cured (J1), but an older crop year. Due to this time given to age, you might find that this leaf has a slightly more mellow taste.
Leaf preference varies from location to location, so it is always recommended that you try a selection of a few different leaves, to see which you, or your customers, prefer most! Each type of leaf has 1/4lb sample sizes available.
Our Aged Dark Air Cured is one of many varieties of leaf called Grabba, Red Rose, Red Leaf, Fronto, Funta, and other similar terms that all mean the same thing - that it is a dark thick tobacco leaf, popular in the Caribbean Islands, commonly used for crushing or blending. It provides a strong, bold smoke that is often referred to as 'hot', or with a strong 'hit'.
This type of leaf, along with other varieties of Dark Air Cured, are commonly sold either by the leaf, or by the pound in many stores.

Since 2011 Aileen Oeberst has been a Post Doc in the Knowledge Construction Lab of the IWM. Her research mainly focuses on biases in collaborative knowledge construction. She examines, for instance, whether Wikipedia articles contain a hindsight bias, that is, whether they erroneously suggest events (such as the nuclear disaster of Fukushima) as inevitable and foreseeable. Beyond that she investigates the consequences of biased Wikipedia articles on readers. She has been awarded grants (e.g., from the German Research Foundation) to support her research.
Aileen Oeberst studied Psychology at the universities of Leipzig and Cagliari (Italy, Diploma 1999). For her dissertation about hypermnesia she went to the University of Osnabrück (2009). In 2012/13 and 2015 she was a visiting professor for Social Psychology at the University of Osnabrück and the Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz.

#6 Summer 2006 - Review - April 2006
Tropicalia: A Revolution in Brazilian Culture
Barbican, London, 16 February–21 May 2006
Rubens Gerchman, detail of album cover Tropicalia or Panis et Cirencis, 1968
In this survey of late-1960s Brazil, the most striking things are the least expected. In a small room are a collection of film fragments focusing on the musicians Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. In one, Veloso is shown in a 1967 television performance. He could scarcely look more nervous, and delivers the stiffest imaginable performance. He can barely hear the band, and sings sharp throughout. His audience are enraptured, but sit in rows, politely applauding.
A second television performance, a year later, is documented through a series of stills and an audio track. This time, Veloso sings 'E Prohibido Prohibir' ('It is Forbidden to Forbid'), commenting sharply on a military regime that was then entering its most repressive phase. He's greeted by slow handclaps, and the show ends in uproar. Veloso cries: 'If your politics are as bad as your aesthetics, then we're done for.'
Two other fragments are worth mentioning: Veloso and Dedé Gadelha on their wedding day in Salvador da Bahia in 1967, at the church, and then the beach, striding arm in arm into the sea, the most improbably good-looking couple; and Gilberto Gil (now Brazil's minister of culture) in exile in London in 1969, in a few grainy Super 8 images. These fragments are by turns charming, terrifying and impossibly sad. Veloso and Gil are highly charismatic public figures, and their espousal of an idealised democracy is part of their charm. But the context of violence, poverty and racism exposes it as myth.
These documentary fragments are the best things here. Nothing else in this rambling, incoherent and often silly show comes close. The centrepiece is an environment by Hélio Oiticica, whose reputation has grown rapidly since his early death in 1980. It is easy to see why: it's gonzo art, party-time art, stoned beach-bum art. Not a trace of irony or intellect for the most part, and hence wonderfully saleable. And some of it is pretty good. But some of his early installations are rambling affairs that belong to another time. In 'Eden', you take off your shoes and socks and wander around a fake beach, dotted with tents in which you can have various different experiences. It's like a free festival: you half expect Hawkwind to show up, handing round the acid tabs. The problem is they don't, and you are returned to the chilly, unforgiving Barbican.
Another participatory work is 'Roda de Prazer' ('Wheel of Pleasure') by Lygia Pape, a series of ceramic bowls containing brightly coloured fluids, which the visitor is invited to taste by means of droppers. Every one I tried tasted unpleasantly of bubble gum. Lygia Clark is represented by some very nasty wearable art, the nadir of which is a rubber pregnancy suit for men. Unzip the midriff and a fat, pink foetus flops out.
The show's lack of coherence is partly due to the historical work, varied in both form and quality. But it is also to do with the way it has been curated. It falls between historical survey and themed show; in the end it is neither. There's not enough order or precision about the history, and the curators rarely achieve a visual spectacle.
