Звіробій витягнутий (Hypericum elongatum Ledeb.) — багаторічна трав'яниста рослина родини звіробійних.

Біологічний опис
Багаторічна трав'яниста рослина 20-50 см заввишки. Стебла численні, рідше поодинокі, від сизо-зелених до бурих, голі. Листки довгасті, ланцетні або широколінійні, з прозорими залозками. Суцвіття волотисте; квітки численні, правильні, білуваті або золотисто-жовті, двостатеві, зібрані у вузьку рідку витягнуту китицю 12—20 см завдовжки, яка складається з 1—5-квіткових півзонтиків; пелюстки видовженооберненояйцюваті, в 3—4 рази довші за чашечку, тупі, нерівнобокі, по краях з залозками — чорними, головчастими, на ніжках і з білуватими залозистими рисочками на поверхні. Чашолистки яйцюваті, на краю з рідкими чорними майже сидячими головчастими залозками. Плід — яйцеподібна, довго загострена, буро-коричнева коробочка. Насіння циліндричні, коричневі, біловорсинчаті, 2-2,5 мм завдовжки. Цвіте в травні-липні.

Поширення
Поширений у Південно-Східній (Греція) та Південно-Західній Європі (Іспанія), в Західному Сибіру, на Кавказі, в Середній та Західній Азії (Іран, Ліван, Туреччина), у Північній Африці (Марокко). В Україні — у Гірському Криму (Кримський природний заповідник).

Екологія
Росте в степах, на сухих кам'янистих схилах, в заростях чагарників у середньогірському поясі.

Використання

З лікувальною метою використовується трава (стебла, листя, квіти), зібрана на початку цвітіння рослини. Зрізують вкриті листям верхівки стебел з суцвіттями, які потім зв'язують невеликими пучками і сушать, розвісивши їх у закритих від сонця приміщеннях або на горищі. Штучне сушіння проводять при температурі до 40°C. Сушіння вважається закінченим, коли стебла стають ламкими. Сухої сировини виходить 28—29 %. Зберігають у сухому, захищеному від світла приміщенні. Термін придатності — 3 роки.

Рослина містить ефірну олію, вітамін С, каротин, кумарини, дубильні речовини, кверцетин, гиперін, кверцитрин, рутин, антоціани, антрахінони, вітаміни Р, Е.

Настій трави надає антигельмінтну дію; в експерименті збільшує діурез на 100 %.

Звіробій витягнутий дуже популярний у народній медицині як лікарська рослина. Настій його трави п'ють при гастритах, виразці шлунка, легкому перебігу шигельозу, проносах, захворюванні печінки, нирок, сечового міхура, геморої, ревматизмі. Квітки звіробою заварюють як чай і п'ють при жовтяниці.

Відвар трави вважають корисним при раку печінки. Їм полощуть рот при кровоточивості ясен. Висушену траву використовують як сурогат чаю. Надземними частинами рослини зафарбовують різні тканини. Звіробій витягнутий рекомендовано в медицині для застосування поряд зі звіробоєм звичайним (Hypericum perforatum). Відвар насіння п'ють при легкому перебігу малярії, а також як проносне.

1 чайна ложка насіння на 1 склянку води, кип'ятити 5-6 хвилин, настоювати 1 годину, процідити. Пити по 1 столовій ложці 3 рази на день при малярії та 1/3-1/2 склянки 1-2 рази на день натщесерце як проносне.

Vogue in Britain: Authenticity and the Creation of Competitive Advantage in the UK Magazine Industry

By 1914 the leading British magazine publishers had successfully launched a range of popular weekly titles for female readers which focused on everyday women's fashions. In contrast, the British operations of American publishers Hearst and Condé Nast sought to develop high-quality magazines designed to attract affluent consumers – and the advertisers who sought to reach these readers. This paper argues that the success of Condé Nast's Vogue depended on two main factors: gaining authenticity in the world of high fashion and forming close relations with their customers – both readers and advertisers – using market research and promotion techniques transferred from the United States.

Aurora: Advance HE's Leadership Development Programme for Women
Launched in November 2013, Aurora is Advance HE's leadership development initiative for women and those who identify as a woman. It is run as a unique partnership bringing together leadership experts and higher education institutions to take positive action to address the under-representation of women in leadership positions in the sector. Led by a team of four leadership experts, participants will explore four key areas associated with leadership success: Identity, Impact and Voice; Power and Politics; Core Leadership Skills; Adaptive Leadership Skills.
Aurora seeks to support women and their institutions to fulfil their leadership potential through thought provoking activities, collaborative problem solving activities and motivating stories supported by inspirational women role models. Participation embeds strong networks of early career women across the sector to share best practice, insights and experiences. It aims to enable women in academic and professional staff roles to think of themselves as future leaders.
Who is this for? Aurora is for women and those who identify as women up to senior lecturer level or professional services equivalent (up to Grade G) who wish to develop their leadership skills and who are interested in exploring leadership as an element of career progression. While most leadership programmes are aimed at leaders and managers already in role, Aurora is designed to engage with women at an earlier stage in their careers. It is not suitable for women already in a leadership role.
Location: The course takes place over six learning days at a number of locations in the UK, to save on travel expenses, we encourage participants to choose the nearest venue, Cardiff, London or Birmingham.
Dates for the 2019-20 sessions are between Oct 2019 and July 2020 and participants need to attend all sessions.
Cost: The costs (course fees (£1,050), plus travel and expenses) are funded entirely by the College/Service.
Process: The programme runs annually and approval of applications is coordinated by your College/Service, as they fund places. This means that your form will be countersigned with a supporting statement from your manager/supervisor and then will be prioritised within the College/Service.
For more detail on the application process, please see:
1. Aurora 2019-20 PS & College Application Process
2. Aurora Nomination Form 2019-20
Supporting the programme: The programme is supported by an Aurora Champion who provides guidance and is the main point of contact between the LFHE and Exeter.
Once delegates have had their place confirmed by Advance HE, they will need to find a Mentor.
Role Models from a range of institutions, including Exeter, attend the workshops so that participants have contact with successful women in higher education displaying the values and characteristics suitable for a positive role model.
Visit the Aurora website
Feedback from past participants:
Think critically about what you're looking to get out of the Aurora programme; there may be other routes to developing your leadership skills, particularly if you have specific ideas and ways you'd like to develop, and the Aurora programme is relatively generic in its' approach. However, if it is a broad introduction to many of the issues and opportunities around women in leadership and leading women that you're after, this fits the bill.
Do the reading and reflective exercises; give yourself the time to attend and actively participate; make full use of your mentor.
The opportunity to network and speak to so many women was great and I did learn a lot about leadership skills. The talks from inspirational women who've gone far up the career ladder were heartening.
It is definitely a worthwhile experience that has given me a lot of confidence.

The term to pray is now often used to refer to religious prayers: to commune with a spirit or deity that you believe in. It's something that hunter-gatherers, ancient Egyptians and Greeks, and followers of today's major religions share in common. While the rituals and conventions of prayer may vary widely, the intention is the same–to renew one's spiritual connection with a power outside them.
Begin the prayer. You can pray by speaking out loud, thinking, singing, etc. Some prayers are recited from memory or read from a book, while other prayers are more like conversations. Your eyes can be opened or closed. You may open the prayer by calling on the God(s) or Deity(s) you are praying to, and asking for help.
Make the request, or ask the question. You can ask questions, seek strength, send good wishes to others, or give thanks. Perhaps the most basic forms of prayer are requests for help in becoming a good (or better) person, and requests that your deity(s) direct your prayer.
End the prayer. Some people end or close the prayer with a special word, phrase or a gesture or simply by standing or sitting in silence for a minute or two, or say amen.
You are most welcome to rebolg my thoughts. Just please give the credit to The Teen Soup for the same on your blog. Thanks.

Q: Reload one div without reloading the whole page I want to implement localization of reCaptcha widget but the language can only be changed by changing the script src. I have the following done so far:
<script>
    System.import('app').catch(function (err) { console.error(err); });

    var language = localStorage.getItem('language');

    document.head.appendChild(document.createElement('script')).src = 'https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js?hl=' + (language === null ? 'hr-HR' : language);

    function writeLanguage(lang) {

        localStorage.setItem('language', lang);
        $("#reCaptchaDiv").load(location.href + " #reCaptchaDiv");

    }
</script>

I import the script and set default language if there is no language saved in localStorage. The script src changes once a new language is chosen and saved in localStorage. I want to reload the div without having to reload the whole page and I tried using this:
$("#reCaptchaDiv").load(location.href + " #reCaptchaDiv");

But after choosing language it doesn't work and the recaptcha widget just disappears.
Any suggestions?


During the symposium, the prospects for the next five years were discussed. The contours for horticulture 2.0 were outlined. This is a concept which is based on two pilars: precision growing and route-2-market.

The current shortage of skilled labour across construction, farming, forestry, engineering, refrigeration engineering, accountancy and project management to name a few is significantly impacting many employers and businesses. More concerning is the fact that the list of sectors affected continues to grow. This shortage in skilled managers and workers is a growing problem for New Zealand, and it needs attention.
Skilled labour and management in the engineering and hospitality sectors are the fastest growing sector of demand; and in the professions, occupational & environmental health, mathematicians and statisticians are the most sought after.
Almost 50 per cent of businesses across the workforce are struggling to find staff, according to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
With the serious shortage it now means that attracting and retaining great employees is becoming more competitive as potential employees are making decisions about whether in fact they want to work for you and for your business.
From our own experience of recruiting across a diverse range of sectors, we know employees/candidates consider many roles simultaneously – and these factors really do make a difference.
Taranaki, as we all know is a great place to live, we have a great community and have much to offer potential employees who may be interested in relocating. However nice these existing factors are, without developing robust strategies that attract people to you as a 'Employer of Choice' they will remain just that – nice.
We all need to be thinking more seriously about what we can do within our sectors to ensure due consideration is given to jobs in Taranaki.
What are your flexible working benefits – what do you do that enhances employees lives and careers?
Do you know what motivates current employees (and what you might do to encourage them to stay)?
What is the impact you are having on society and the environment and do you care?
To attract and retain talent we need to be thinking outside the box in the way we recruit.
The tables are turning due to the skill shortages; it's no longer the case that an employer gets their pick off a pile of great applications – the employees are choosing if they want to work for you.
If you haven't already, it's more than time to look at your strategies for attracting and retaining staff. If you don't know where to start – we can help. Staples Rodway HR have a team of experienced, in-the-know recruitment advisors that can help you beat the odds and obtain the very best talent.

The Auckland Youth Symphonic Band Incorporated (AYSB (Inc)) is a society which runs both the Auckland Youth Symphonic Band (AYSB) and the Auckland Wind Orchestra (AWO). The AYSB was the original group and was set up to cater for younger musicians.
The AYSB started in 1973 when Hugh Dixon, the founder of the AYSB (Inc), found he had over ninety players available for the band. The solution – form another band!
Conductors of the Junior Band have included Martin Heath, now Senior Lecturer in Music at the Teachers College, David Adlam, now a professional conductor and clarinet soloist, and Bob Savigny, a multi instrumentalist renowned for his electric violin, and more recently Rod McLeay who led the group from 1977 until 2018.
In 1973, the AYSB was the only game in town. Other than ensemble work, there were very few outlets for wind and brass players. During the next twenty years more and more schools formed their own wind bands. Today, there are very few schools without such a group.
The AYSB Junior Band compliments the AWO by filling a niche in Auckland's youth music scene for musicians who want more than their schools can offer. For players from schools with no band, a small band, or a very basic band, the AYSB is a great outlet. After fifty years, the band library is very extensive. The range of music available is enormous. Each year we play marches, latin, classical transcriptions, show tunes, pop tunes, original compositions, jazz, film themes, TV themes, and novelty items. Rehearsal time, without the distractions of school, is more rewarding.
Socially, the band is a great place. Players get the chance to mix with like-minded people, people from Howick get to make friends with people from Swanson and players from single sex schools get to meet the opposite sex. Lifelong friends, and sometimes marriages are made. We have several second generation band members, and more are on the way.

Hanukkah Celebration Set For L.A. City Hall
LOS ANGELES (CNS) - A menorah lighting is scheduled today on the steps of Los Angeles City Hall to celebrate Hanukkah, Judaism's eight-day commemoration of the temple rededication that followed the Maccabees' victory over a larger Syrian army in 165 B.C.
The celebration is set to begin at 11:30 a.m. and will include music and dancing.
Free public menorah lighting ceremonies marking the second night of Hanukkah are also scheduled today at El Segundo City Hall and the Arcadia Transit Plaza, both at 5:30 p.m.
Tuesday free public menorah lighting ceremonies are planned at Westfield Topanga (5 p.m.); the Chase bank branch at 10050 Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake (5 p.m.); Cal State Northridge (5:30 p.m.); Plaza de Oro at 17159 Ventura Blvd. in Encino (5:30 p.m.); Redondo Beach City Hall (5:30 p.m.; and Metlox Plaza, 451 Manhattan Beach Blvd., in Manhattan Beach (5:30 p.m.).
Once the Jews defeated the Hellenist Syrian forces of Antiochus IV at the end of a three-year rebellion, the temple in Jerusalem, which the occupiers had dedicated to the worship of Zeus, was rededicated by Judah Maccabee, who led the insurgency begun by his father, the high priest Mattathias.
According to the story of Hanukkah, Maccabee and his soldiers wanted to light the temple's ceremonial lamp with ritually pure olive oil as part of their rededication but found only enough oil to burn for one day. The oil, however, burned for eight days in what was held to be a miracle.
Hanukkah -- which means dedication in Hebrew -- is observed around the world by lighting candles in a special menorah called a Hanukkiah each day at sundown for eight days, with an additional candle added each day.
The reason for the lights is so passers-by should see them and be reminded of the holiday's miracle.
Other Hanukkah traditions include spinning a dreidel, a four-sided top, which partially commemorates a game that Jews under Greek domination are believed to have played to camouflage their Torah study, and eating foods fried in oil, such as latkes, pancakes of grated raw potatoes, and jelly doughnuts.
Children receive Hanukkah "gelt" (the Yiddish word for money) from parents and grandparents. The tradition originated with 17th century Polish Jews giving money to their children to give their teachers during Hanukkah, which led to parents also giving children money.
In the United States, the practice has evolved into giving holiday gifts to children and others.
Unlike on the High Holy Days of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish new year, or Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, observant Jews are permitted to work and attend school during Hanukkah, the only Jewish holiday that commemorates a military victory.
"The meaning of Hanukkah is about the triumph of hope in the face of adversity," Rabbi Ilana Grinblat, vice president of community engagement for the Board of Rabbis at The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, told City News Service.
"The holiday begins with the lighting of one candle and a candle is added each night until eight candles are lit on the last night, along with the shamash, the candle which is used to light the others. This increasing light represents heightened joy.
"This year, we begin this holiday in an excruciating moment for our community and our country. In the past few weeks, the shooting in the Tree of Life*Or L'Simcha Congregation in Pittsburgh was followed by the shooting in Thousand Oaks and the fires in which many lost their lives and homes, and community institutions were damaged or destroyed.
"With all this precariousness, we need the message of Hanukkah even more this year. May the light and joy of the holiday bring us a measure of healing and rekindle our spirits."
After referring to how the rededication of the temple in Jerusalem "followed a trying period when Jews were persecuted for practicing their faith," President Donald Trump noted in his Hanukkah message that "unfortunately, Jews today continue to face many different forms of violence, hatred, and bigotry around the globe."
"We remember all those from the Tree of Life*Or L'Simcha Congregation whose lives were tragically taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, this past October.
"As one nation, we pledge our continued love and support for the victims, their families, and the community, and we pray that the victims' families find some measure of peace and comfort during this holiday season."

Little Crackers Nursery, situated at the heart of Crackley Hall School, is carefully structured for two-year olds, three-year olds and pre-school.
The nursery is based in two rooms, one dedicated to the Dormice and the larger main nursery room for the Hedgehogs and Badgers. The activities in each room change regularly and are focused around the individual age groups' specific needs. We can accommodate a maximum of 12 two-year olds and 40 three and four-year olds.
Our children also benefit from trying new activities at an early age including music, dance, PE, Forest School and French lessons, all taught by specialist teachers.
A nursery or rather a Kindergarten did exist on the site during the St Joseph School days, occupying a pre-fabricated building on the terrace below the school. At the time of the merger with Princethorpe College the nursery moved into the conservatory, a former orangery, in the main house and the Little Crackers name was adopted shortly afterwards.
Originally operating on a term time only basis, for 35 weeks a year, the nursery moved to 48 weeks a year in 2011 and then to 51 weeks a year in 2017 to cater for the needs of busy parents.
The nursery and Crackley Hall School, along with Princethorpe College, and the Crescent School in Bilton Rugby, now form The Princethorpe Foundation, a company limited by guarantee and a registered charity.
The Nursery was last inspected by the ISI in October 2017 as part of a whole school inspection of Crackley Hall School. The school received the highest possible ratings across all criteria. The report, published on the ISI website, consists of two elements, a focused compliance inspection, encompassing statutory standards, and an educational quality inspection evaluating pupils' achievement, including their academic and personal development.
In their report inspectors commented that, "Pupils from the Nursery onwards make excellent progress."
In May 2018 Little Crackers was recognised by the Warwickshire Inclusion Kite-Marking Scheme, which celebrated the Nursery's excellent pre-school provision and also recognised the high standard of inclusive care provided by the nursery.

Home > Freedom > Creativity
Creativity requires that new information come into the world. It must be information that was not implicit in earlier states of the world.
Human creativity requires the same freedom of thought (generating possibilities) and action needed for free will, our Cogito Model.
If everything created was predetermined, then all the works of Mozart would have been implicit in the first beat of an aboriginal drum.
Einstein's E=mc2 would have been in the first Aristotle syllogism.
Cosmological systems are creative, because atoms and molecules did not exist in the first three minutes of the universe. And the great astrophysical structures made from atoms, like galaxies, stars, and planets, did not exist in the first million years.
Biological systems are creative. Darwinian evolution accounts for the creation of new species of organisms.
Many organisms create informational structures outside of themselves, in the world, like beehives, bird nests, and beaver dams.
Humans are the most conspicuous creators and consumers of new informational structures, altering the face of planet Earth. And they create the constructed ideal world of thought, of intellect, of spirit, including the laws of nature, in which we humans play a role as co-creator. We call this the Sum.
All creative processes have the same underlying physics as the cosmic creative process, a combination of quantum mechanics and thermodynamics.
Biological processes add the element of natural selection, which includes the processing of information. This is accomplished by something Jacques Monod called the teleonomic information, 1 the purposive element in all life.

1. Monod, Jacques (1971), Chance and Necessity, p. 14.
This allows us to put forward at least the principle of a definition of a species' "teleonomic level." All teleonomic structures and performances can be regarded as corresponding to a certain quantity of information which must be transmitted for these structures to be realized and these performances accomplished. Let us call this quantity "teleonomic information." A given species' "teleonomic level" may then be said to correspond to the quantity of information which, on the average and per individual, must be transferred to assure the generation-to-generation transmission of the specific content of reproductive invariance.


A comparison of a typical American baseball field with a Canadian camp. Note the distinctive "square", the faceoff spot where the batsman stands, and the lancer's blue line.
Canadian baseball is a form of baseball played in Canada in which two teams of 10 players take turns batting and fielding.
The closest thing the jokers at Wikipedia have on this is some article about Canadian football.
Canadian baseball is played on a large field, called a camp, which is usually comprised of grass and dirt.
The batsman (not the batter) stands on the faceoff spot. His objective is to get to a base (pronounced, as in French, bahz) and, if possible, go around all four bases which make up the iconic "square" of the Canadian baseball camp.
Due to the layout of the camp, it is much easier to get to first base than it is to get to the other bases, which is curiously not the case with French-Canadian women.
The lancer (not the pitcher) is made to stand behind the blue line in the centre (not center) of the camp.
The iconic colours of the Chaussettes Rouges.
Teams traditionally played in all whites, as in cricket or bowls. However, in the late 19th century when the sport moved from being played on an all-grass lawn to its more familiar grass and dirt combination, teams started to use grey pants, but maintained the white pullovers. The pullovers tend to be extremely thick due to the icy Canadian temperatures the sport is usually played in, and, according to visiting Americans, make it almost impossible to hit or throw the ball a significant distance.
The Chaussettes Rouges of Québec have possibly one of the most iconic kits in Canadian baseball (see right). Their famous "red socks" began something of a fashion in Canadian baseball, and almost all of the team names make reference to chaussettes (socks) or bas (stockings, not pronounced bahs, but rather bah as in humbug).
Like pullovers, long colourful socks are popular not only for their sense of style they bring to the outfit, but for the crucial role they play in keeping frostbite at bay.
The sport is played with a pétanque style ball, which will lead the observant watcher to realise where Canadian baseball began. Young French Canadian children, bored to death with their grandfathers' endless games of boules started to invent their own game, which involved trying to smash the ball as far away as possible, ideally so it was impossible for their elders to retrieve.
Various different implements were used as the bat, but since the Premier League Baseball (PLB) association was formed in 1908, teams have used a long metal bat - similar in feel and weight to an American baseball bat, but with a form resembling that of a cricket bat.
Campers, the men in the field, do not wear mitts or caps, but rather berets. They tend to catch the ball in their hands, but if they use their berets, it counts as two outs.
The unmistakeable form of a Canadian baseball bat..
The match begins when the lancer throws the ball. He is only allowed to throw underarm. When throwing, he must stand on or behind the blue line, but he may move horizontally as far left or right as he chooses, and indeed this is an important part of defensive strategy. The top lancers in Canadian baseball have a variety of throws, from straightuns, to curveys, and the acute-angled crossballs, thrown from the extreme edges of the square.
The batsman steps up to the face-off spot to face the lancer's throw.
Behind the batsman stands the Base keeper and the Arbiter, the game's main official. The camping team's other players can stand anywhere they like on the camp, while the other batsmen wait in an area to the side of the camp, known as the dug in.
The sport is notorious for being punctuated by many stoppages. Thus, many of the fans seek distraction away from the camp, and vendors do a roaring trade in red wine, hamburgers, and french fries with mayonnaise. The atmosphere at the ground is boosted with music, as an amplified accordion merrily recites some of the nation's favourite baseball-themed melodies, such as Take Me Out to the Ball Match.
An innings (never written in singular as inning, although often pronounced with a silent s by French Canadians) is over when four players are out.
The batting team's objective is to score points (not runs, and pronounced, as in French, "pwahn"). Un point is scored when a batsman makes un tour de camp - what Americans would call a home run. Anyone who gets to base and then later gets all the way around is awarded half a point - un demi point.
Batsmen have to carry their bat when they run and touch it down on the base as they arrive. Stealing bases does not occur, as Canadians are generally too polite, although some American players in the PBL have been known to steal bases.
When Chuck Sorrensen, a Minnesota-born slugger for the Montréal Bas Resilles stole a base in a 1995 game, the camp's accordionist cheekily responded with a burst of The Star Spangled Banner. Fights, however, are common.
Each team has five innings to score as many points (silent s, remember) as possible.
For students on Canadian citizenship courses, Pierre Popup is used to explain elementary rules of Canadian ball.
A batsman has three attempts to hit the lancer's throw, although it must be a legal delivery. The arbiter decides if a ball is bon or mal and makes the call accordingly. It is one of the most difficult parts of the game to understand, but the viewer must imagine a "zone" roughly between a batsman's hips and neck.
For non-Canadians, the zone can be most clearly visualised by imagining a Frenchman: the legal zone being the space between the knot in his red cravat and the lowest blue hoop of his sweater (see right).
The arbiter signals the missed legal deliveries by shouting, "Payé!", "Balayé!" and "Oublié!" which can be roughly translated as "Strike one!", "Strike two!", "Strike three!", although Canadian ball fans insist something is lost in translation.
As well as being oublié, a batsman can also be put out. This is not the same thing as when a French Canadian girl puts out. Instead it is when a member of the camping side throws the ball to one of the bases (pronounced bahz even in the plural) before the batsman can arrive and touch his bat in.
Finally, a batsman can be caught out in the camp, and as noted above, a camper can choose to catch the ball in his beret to effect a double out.
More than perhaps any other sport, Canadian baseball has been the story of a rivalry between two teams: the Québec Chaussettes Rouges and the Toronto Chaussettes Blanches. Les Rouges won 10 of the first 12 Series du Monde but their fortunes changed when their owner Pepé LePew controversially agreed to trade their star player, Bébé Route, to Les Blanches in 1920.
Québec subsequently lost in the playoffs that year to their great rivals, with the deciding match finishing 10½-2½, then a record defeat for the Québécois. To add insult to injury, Route himself scored a tour de camp and three demi-points.
Les Rouges continued to be a strong side, competing for the Serie consistently, but did not win another for 86 years. A number of surprise or dramatic losses were attributed to the loss of Route, and the losing streak became known as Les ans de merde. Beautiful language, French.
↑ Indeed, such is baseball's role in Canadian culture that people often talk about "stepping up to the face-off spot" to mean something like "face the challenge". Other expressions that come from the sport include "Just give me a ball camp figure", "We are playing with the hard ball now, eh?" and "It's the bottom of the fifth, and the bases are occupied."
↑ A lot of the sport's terminology has a silent s.
↑ A batsman's To base average (TBA) or To base percentage (TBP) is an important indicator of his quality.
↑ Oh, look it up.
↑ This terminology is something of a tribute to the late Edith Piaf.

90 Day Fiancé: Why Debbie's Single Life Makeover Has Fans So Excited
No Comments on 90 Day Fiancé: Why Debbie's Single Life Makeover Has Fans So Excited
So far on 90 Day: The Single Life, Debbie Johnson has been a little hard to watch. She's said and done a lot of cringey things on the 90 Day Fiancé spin-off, and her recent date rejection was devastating. However, in the teaser for the next episode, Debbie is seen getting a full makeover to boost her self-esteem. Her new look wasn't revealed on the show, but regardless of how it turns out, Debbie's drastic makeover could be a turning point in her storyline and fans are looking forward to it.
After the tragic death of her husband, Debbie set her love life aside to raise her son, 90 Day Fiancé franchise star Colt Johnson. It's been years since Debbie has dipped her toes into the dating pool, but on this season of The Single Life, Debbie is looking for someone with whom she can share the rest of her life. So far in season 2, Debbie has been on one date, and it went horribly. Colt welcomed Debbie's date with an interrogation and later Debbie ordered a cocktail with six shots, then finding out her date doesn't drink. Her date clearly wasn't interested in pursuing a relationship, and Debbie ended the night feeling hurt and rejected.
It seems that feeling of rejection may have led Debbie to get an extreme makeover to change her entire look. In the teaser for next episode, Debbie gets new hair, clothes, and makeup to go with her brand new rose tattoo, and it could definitely help her dating prospects. It's clear that Debbie lacks confidence in herself and feels out of the game because of how long it's been since she dated anyone. She has also let her personal style go very casual, and hasn't been sure of how to put her best face forward on a date.
Fans are looking forward to the all-new Debbie, and not just because they're curious about her new look. Debbie became a reality TV superstar because of her feisty attitude and big personality, but that inner queen Debbie has been diminished by her low self-esteem. Though Debbie is still a tough cookie, she isn't fully confident in herself, and with the makeover, viewers hope that more of her fiery personality will come out. If the Debbie that fans have seen on the show was Debbie in her shell, viewers can't wait to see full-fledged Debbie out on the prowl.
Debbie's big makeover on the next episode of 90 Day: The Single Life is sure to be a major moment in season 2, and fans think it will change the entire course of Debbie's storyline. With renewed confidence and sass back up to 100 percent, Debbie will be more compelling and entertaining than ever. She may not be any less cringey, but she'll look great doing it.

By See Joy
A great historic landmark not to miss while on a walking tour of the financial district in New York. We visited here on a cool morning and it wasn't crowded. The architecture of this beautiful building catches our eyes from far away. Grand from outside and grand from inside. It's really decorated and maintained very well. Such a peaceful place to be at amongst the hustle and bustle of the busy city of New York. We were here for about half an hour but someone can spend more time based on how much leisure they have. Would like to visit again and spend some more time there.
By Beverly Hendricks
The main cathedral was undergoing renovations while we were there, so only the chapel was open. The financial district is a relatively easy walk. It's not as big as midtown or uptown, and I think I liked it best of all.

Q: d3 force layout initial structure Is it is possible to give a d3 force layout some kind of structure? I wanting to show the relationship between staff and users, staff can have many users.
However the initial layout while correct is incomprehensible.

The nodes with red outlines are staff, and blue outlines are users, ideally it would be nice to have users below that staff, almost in a force hierarchy layout if they exist?
var width = document.querySelector('.visualisation').clientWidth,
        height = 500;

    var svg = d3.select(".visualisation").append("svg")
        .attr("width", width)

    });

A: You can achieve this by setting the position along the y axis with d3.forceY(). According to the API:

Creates a new positioning force along the y-axis towards the given position y.

So, I created an array using type to specify who is user and who is staff:
var nodes = [
    {"id": 1, "name": "staff1", "type": "staff"},
    {"id": 2, "name": "staff2", "type": "staff"},
    {"id": 3, "name": "user1", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 4, "name": "user2", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 5, "name": "user3", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 6, "name": "staff3", "type": "staff"},
    {"id": 7, "name": "user4", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 8, "name": "user5", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 9, "name": "user6", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 10, "name": "user7", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 11, "name": "user8", "type": "user"},
    {"id": 12, "name": "user19", "type": "user"}
];

Then, I used the type to set the position:
var simulation = d3.forceSimulation()
    .force('y', d3.forceY((d) => d.type === "staff" ? height/5 : 4*height/5).strength(2))

Here is a demo:

var nodes = [
  {"id": 1, "name": "staff1", "type": "staff"},
  {"id": 2, "name": "staff2", "type": "staff"},
  {"id": 3, "name": "user1", "type": "user"},
  {"id": 4, "name": "user2", "type": "user"},
  {"id": 5, "name": "user3", "type": "user"},
  {"id": 6, "name": "staff3", "type": "staff"},
  {"id": 7, "name": "user4", "type": "user"},
  {"id": 8, "name": "user5", "type": "user"},
  {"id": 9, "name": "user6", "type": "user"},
 {"id": 10, "name": "user7", "type": "user"},
  {"id": 11, "name": "user8", "type": "user"},
  {"id": 12, "name": "user19", "type": "user"}
];

Obituary for Louis H. Hester | Fox Funeral Home, Inc.
Louis H. Hester, 83, of Saxonburg passed this world and entered into the next on Tuesday, October 23, 2018, taking his last breath from his loving wife. Born March 18, 1935 in Wilkinsburg to the late James and Helen Hester. He leaves behind to cherish his memory, his devoted wife of 61 years, Darrel (Anker) Hester; daughters, Kim Hester and Kelly McMahan; grand-daughter, Lauren (McMahan) and Kurt Savage; and his namesake, Steele Louis Savage, born 9/26; his fur-baby Lulu; as well as nieces and nephews.
Louie was a good, honest and hardworking man. His work life began at a young age as a Masonry helper, when he left school to help support his parents. He spent his whole life working in the construction field; retiring from the Heavy Carpenter Union Local 2274.
He was quiet, unless he knew you, and then would talk about his hunting adventures, house building tales, and athletic prowess of his youth. His tough guy exterior masked a soft and generous heart. While he was a "man's man", he couldn't miss an episode of the soap opera 'Days of Our Lives'.
A common man, he was anything but "common" to those he loved and who loved him. Louie always worried about "his girls"; rest comfortably now, Louie, Dad, Pap, you taught us well… until we meet again.
He was preceded in death by his parents James and Helen Hester; brothers Fred, Richard, John and Robert; in-laws Mammy and Pappy (Alice and Jim) Anker; and a long list of fur-baby companions.
Friends will be received at the Fox Funeral Home, Inc. Saxonburg on Saturday October 27, 2018 from 11:00-1:00 to be followed by a memorial service at 1:00 pm. with Rev. Jason McQueen officiating.

Donald Trump Invites Bill Clinton's Former Mistress To Debate
Mike Mazzarone
Early Saturday morning, Donald Trump responded to Hillary Clinton inviting Mark Cuban to the first presidential debate by inviting Gennifer Flowers, who had sexual relations with Bill Clinton decades ago. It is a jab at the Clinton family's problems, more importantly Bill Clinton's infidelity, in hopes to bring down Hillary and find another thing to attack her with in the coming debates.
Bill Clinton has been involved with many sexual assault allegations, including Juanita Broaddrick, who also expressed the desire to go to a debate, though she wasn't contacted by either of the candidates or anyone official. Not only that, but Bill also reportedly may have a mistress, Julie McMahon, who has been dubbed "Energizer" by secret service agents for her frequent visits to the Clinton him in Westchester, when Hillary isn't there.
Trump tweeted out Saturday:
If dopey Mark Cuban of failed Benefactor fame wants to sit in the front row, perhaps I will put Gennifer Flowers right alongside of him!
Gennifer responded on Twitter by saying:
Hi Donald. You know I'm in your corner and will definitely be at the debate!…💋
— Gennifer Flowers (@gennflowers) September 24, 2016
Cuban quipped back about a time when Trump referred to himself and Cuban as "Bobbsie Twins," by posting on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/mcuban/status/779725423580176384
This issue has been one of many between Trump and Cuban, having had Twitter fights previously. Cuban has been a sticking point for the Clinton campaign as one of many rich people that don't believe that Trump is qualified for President. Trump has often dismissed these attacks as jealous competitors, even having commented back in the 80's repeatedly that rich people weren't too fond of him because of competitiveness and his success.
This is a last minute attempt for both candidates to gain an advantage in the press and in the public eye.
It has recently been discovered that half of the people who were non-government affiliated that met Hillary Clinton at the State Department were Clinton Foundation donors. This is another example of the long storied list of shady dealings that have been revealed as of late concerning Hillary Clinton. We now delve into the most recent example of Hillary's crooked dealings.
The 85 out of 154 who conversed with Clinton while she was leading the State Department were heavy donors to the Clinton Foundation with at least 40 donating $100,000 and 20 giving $1,000,000. This presents direct evidence that Clinton's foundation was a means to gain access to Hillary Clinton in the State Department. This arises even more suspicion because the Clinton Foundation has donors from foreign governments.
Back in August, Bill Clinton made a statement indicating that if Hillary Clinton wins the election he would be stepping down from the Clinton Foundation. He has also indicated that the Foundation would no longer receive donations from foreign groups. What is striking is that there is an obvious admission that Hillary Clinton's association with the Clinton Foundation does create a conflict of interest regarding her connection to it and its affiliation with foreign groups. Nevertheless, this conflict of interest did not become a serious problem until the release of the emails detailing the existed of this pay for play scheme arranged by Mrs. Clinton. Of course, even if Bill Clinton does come through in his promises, it does not change the 6.000 donors who have already pledged $2 billion to the Clinton Foundation since its creation in 2000.
Some of these donations include pledges from financial firms like Blackstone who donated between $250,000 and $500,000, as well as eight Blackstone executives who also gave between $375,000 and $800,000. Blackstone is not the only corporate interest with ties to the Clinton Foundation. Estee Lauder, who pledged over $2,000,000, has also been named in a briefing of donors to the Clinton Foundation. An objective assessment of this situation adds further weight to the position that Clinton is toxically untrustworthy. At a time when the notion of rule of law is being questioned in America, we have continued evidence that persons like Hillary Clinton are often held to a different standard than the rest of society.
There is this notion that they ethos of any culture is influenced from the tone that is set at the top. If Hillary Clinton's behavior is an indication of anything, it demonstrates a complete disregard of fair play and prosperity. If she become president, what sort of example can she provide to the rest of the American government that has grown so large as to be able to perform gross illegal acts that are unknown even to the President of the United States. In a time where more than anything else the country needs strong leadership that can set example, we have in Hillary Clinton the exact opposite of what this country needs. She is the complete manifestation of the corruption in American government that has made the American people lose faith in government.

My wife's going to serve a special Mexican dish tonight. Now promise me that you'll try it. ft may look awful, but once you've tasted it, you'll be hooked. Though most Mexican food is an acquired taste, I think you'll like this dish on the first try.


Normally there are no leftovers especially if there are potatoes in the dish. But somehow I ended up having potato filling for the aloo parathas or potato stuffed whole wheat breads.On any other day I would have converted this into pan fried tikkis but this time I thought I would try out a bookmarked recipe of potato cheese biscuits.
I made changes in the original recipe from here and avoided cheese except for a small paneer cube which I grated into the filling. A simple and straight recipe and turned out excellent as well.
Combine flour, soda, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
Cut in the chilled cubed butter and pinch and fluff with hand or two knifes till you get a coarse sand texture.
Make a well and add in the potato filling along with buttermilk and stir in until moist.
Turn the mass onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead for around 5 times till you get a rough dough. Roll out the dough into a 3/4" thick circle and cut with a 3" cookie cutter.
Place on a lined/greased (optional) baking sheet and continue to cut out biscuits. Reroll the scraps and cut out biscuits as well.
If using egg white combine it with 1 tbsp chilled water and brush on top of the biscuits.I went for buttermilk.
Bake in a preheated oven at 400F/ 200C for around 20-15 minutes or more until the top browns.
Perfect with tea and anytime snack if you are a pud lover. You can use your choice of filling and try variations and even go for half wheat flour to make it more healthier. A simple and quick snack with my favourite potatoes is definitely mouthwatering for me.

Why Madison Beer Called It Quits With Brooklyn Beckham
David M. Benett/Getty Images
By Michelle McGahan/Sept. 29, 2020 8:24 am EST
Years before Brooklyn Beckham got engaged to Nicola Peltz in July 2020, he had several high-profile relationships in the spotlight — a pretty impressive feat, considering the oldest son of David and Victoria Beckham is only 21. Perhaps most notably, the photographer dated Chloë Grace Moretz on and off for years. But did you know he was also linked with Madison Beer for a hot minute?
It's true: The "Selfish" singer and Beckham, both 18 at the time, were reported to have been dating "for a few months" in a July 2017 article from Page Six. The couple was spotted in and around Los Angeles, attending concerts, going shopping, and dining out. According to Harper's Bazaar, Beer and Beckham were first photographed together in June 2017 while at a dinner event in London.
Just a few months later, however, their relationship was over as quickly as it began. What went wrong?
Madison Beer broke up with Brooklyn Beckham for a very relatable reason
Rich Fury/mtv Vmas 2020, David M. Benett/Getty Images
If it seemed as if Brooklyn Beckham and Madison Beer's 2017 romance was a summer fling, that's because it kind of was. While the two first got together at some point in the spring, things were over by that August. And according to People, it was the Instagram influencer's decision to end things with her boyfriend.
In fact, Beer's reason for calling it quits with Beckham is relatable AF, especially for anyone who has ever faced the looming event of bae moving to a different state. In their case, Beckham moved across the country to go to college in New York, while Beer, who, ironically, is originally from Long Island, stayed in L.A. "I can't do long distance," the singer told the magazine in August 2017.
This was something she had hinted at in a July 2017 interview, when Beer refused to say that she and Beckham were officially dating, but instead "crushing on each other" and "having fun." "We're seriously best friends. We hang out every day with our whole group of friends in L.A. together," she revealed on AOL's Build Series. "But he's moving to New York in two weeks — it's not really realistic."
While their relationship didn't work out, it seems like it was all for the best! Beckham is now happily engaged, and Beer is set to release her long-awaited debut album in 2020.


This isn't your father's Fargo any more.
That a state so sparsely populated and geographically remote stands among the top-five nationally in a broad measure of economic, educational, health and other metrics speaks volumes about an economic boom that North Dakota has experienced during the past decade.
Indeed it is the state's economic growth – No. 1 in the Best States rankings – that helped propel it to No. 2 in the overall measure of state economies.
With among the lowest unemployment in the nation and highest labor force participation, North Dakota also ranks highly in the roads, energy infrastructure – and even internet service – that it provides for just over three-quarters of a million residents. Its highly ranked higher education, with among the nation's most affordable tuition, has helped the citizenry reach a high level of attainment of college degrees. All measures considered, the state ranks No. 4 overall.


There is hope for those who have been suffering for a long time with anxiety disorders, attacks, and panic attacks. You have to be willing to make the move to make changes in your life. There are other people out there that are suffering just like you. However, your situation doesn't have to stay this way forever. There is help out there in the form of medication, and therapy. You just have to want it for yourself. The sooner you get the help, the better you will get. Once you do that, you will stop allowing these conditions to control your life.
